That Senator Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, is what is generally
known as q man Of sense, shrewd,
worldly calculating sense, We take for
granted is the truth. He has been q
great success, and unless his friend
General Butler should be made Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,, enjoys the
distinction Of being tho one man who
governs, without rival, Common
wealth by corruption. This is our
tribute to the Cameronian intelligence,
but until we read it in the Admins
tration Times--vcry kindly disposed
TO the Pennsylvania Senator-we did
not know that he was a man of senti-
ment. We are, we confess, a little of
Sir Peter Teazlc's opinion us to the
unctuous, oily sentiinentali,y. But
Cameronian sentiments are not of
that nature. There is no Joseph Sur
face about it. lilo does his sentimen-
talism 10 rough, masculine, rather
brutal way. 1t is the butcher who
puts flowers on the steers horns just
before slaughter. The facts whence
VIC make this deduction are these. Il
seems that Cameron, while he was
Mr.. Lincoln's War Minister (Which,
by the way, was not very long), made

agricultural and frugal nature, vowed
"corn," and IL seems he has kept his
vow, for wo read that he lately told

newspaper; al did not forget that
resolution, and when our troops gained
possession Of that seditious city / wont
there, planted the corn with my own

Hash,

We notice that the editors of those
independent journals-the Times and
the ReueiIle-have dedicated their re.
spective editorial columns 20 the pro
tessional political hash.deaIers--wri-
ters who have less regard for truth
and fair dealing than falsehood and
strategy, and possess tho manly art
OF sayingeverylniug unuer an ussumeu
namo. Every primary election in this
or any other county annually breeds
q host of these self-same patriotic
malcontcnts, who resort to the meth
cd indicated to correct all wrongs,
whether real or imaginary. AS such
these scribblers never were success
However, this class always did and
always will exist, and the newspaper
editor who assists them will not con-
troll tho columns of his journal long
If he continues to bait them. Those
hash-dcalers generally possess varied
talents. They will not confne them
selves to political hash only, but they
will soon learn to prepare social, and
business, and even religious hash
dishes. They discover wrong overy-
where and make hugo efforts to cure
and rectify everything. Our twelve
years experience teaches us that they
do n thousand fold moro harm than
good. Besides, the columns of o
newspaper are not the proper chan
nels through which to retail either re-
ligious, political, social OR business
hash, Such is our judgment on that
point

DR.. Bouer,s Letter.

As we have since learned some time
after the Presidential election, last
fall, a number of Democrats in Bee
caria township addressed noto to
Dr. Boyer, requesting him to give
them his views upon the situation of
affairs. The letter on our first page
is his answer to their request. Some
time in April these parties mailed us
the letter and requested us to publish
it. We informed the parties that it
would not be in order to publish it un.
al after the primary election, as the
motives OF all might be misconstrued,
The following letter is in answer to
our note:
GLRS HoPE, May -, 1873.

Dear Sir Your explanation and refusal to pub
lish DR.. Boyer's letter at this time is perfectly
satisfactory to us. We did not think Of the effect
1t might have on the coming primary election and
the feelings Of rival candidates. We only saw in
1t q sermon, based on sound Democratic doctrine,
md we felt as though our friends all over the
county siIould have the opportunity of reading it,
That was our only motive. We respectfully re-
quest you to publish the letter soon after the pr-
mary election is over. Truly your friends,
