cuishcd Gen. John Sedgwick, who won such a
glorious record with the army " the Potomac.
Mrs. sedgwick. the writer ~ the above letter,
Is living in very reduced circumstances, and this
fact Ia well known to Patterson, who, while
acknowledging his Indebtedness to her late hus-
hand, has within few months refused To make
any amends for his dishonor,ble conduct.
CoRRu PTioN.
In the spring OF 1862 there was United States
Senator to be chosen by the Pennsylvania legis-
lature. The Democrats had majority Of one
on joint ballot, but this did not discourage
Simon Cameron In the least. He felt certain OF
being able to buy one or two men and he en-
tered Into the contest with all his old zeal and
true Scotch pertinacity.
The Democrats had agreed In caucus to cast
their votes for Duckalcw. and Cameron had
promises to set up the Republican caucus In his
favor. This done he summoned 20 Harris
burg men who could buy votes. Chief among
them were Jim Burns. a fellow named Brobst,
and our dapper little rogue, John j. Patterson.
John WAS the Youngest of them all, but neverthe-
less was adj judged old and experienced enough
To- be employed on the most important and
delicate missions. Simon. to his surprise, found
Democrats in securing those WHO had sum
cicnt nerve to take his money and the conse
guenees sure to follow on selling their votes.
/ The Democracy ~ every portion OF the State
/ were fully aware of the fact that Simon meant
to buy enough Of their men to secure his cleo
/ ton, and the leaders of the party were there in
/ force, determined that every man who was sus-
pected should be "shadowed - night and day.
/ IL soon became apparent to the willy old Scot
that he must pick out man who was unsus-
! uected and secure him regardless Of cost. After
careful dellberatlon he settled upon neuber
from Ciesrneld county-s DR.. r. Jefferson Boyer
and Brobst aud Patterson were instructed 10
/ their great delight found Boyer an apparently
willing victim. The Doctor was by no means
| unsophistcated man, but on the contrary a
! shrewd, determined patriot and when he was
approached hy Brubst he instantly came to the
conclusion that he would lislen to their over
lures, seem to consent. and then A. the proper
moment, expose the plot and bring them TO
Justice
