THosE WALNUT DooRs. s.-We are in
formed by a citizen of Harrisburg that
the Radicals (probably by order of the
chief executive magistrate Of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania himself
have removed those famous Walnut
Doors from the Governors horse stable
aud replaced them by othersl After
the election the Walnuts will no doubt
appear again unless some entcrprising
Radical official shall steal them. A
number of vouchers have also been
discovered TO have been stolen or re-
moved from the Auditor Generals
office, as there are no vouchers on file
for certain warrants that were drawn !
This whole matter, we are informed,
will be thoroughly probed, and proofs
will be presented establishing that a
gross and monstrous fraud has been
practiced in order TO screen this piece
of little villainy and folly from public
observation. What are not these
rogues capable of? The walnut stable
doors for some time have becn an OBJ.
jec, of ridieule aud just contempt for
snobbery of their inception, and now
records are stolen, and perhaps the
doors, too, TO hide the shame Yet the
men who do these things are your
Governors, State Treasurers and other
high officials of your Commonwealth
Is it not high time for the people to
arouse and eject them from mower p

the most. Well, 1t is quite natural foI
these editors who howlcd against sla.
very for years before the war, but
when the battle came had themselves
exempted, and therefore never smcllod
powder TO continue to be exercised
over this question. The man who do
claims against wrong sgd helps to
work things up TO a fighting point, aud
then backs down or furnishes substi-

The editor of the Farmers Friend, an
organ of the Patrons of Husbandry
or Grangers, under the head Of "Rec
ognition OF Farmers" speaks us fol,
lows Of the nomination of Victor T.
Piolette for State Treasurer; "The
political convention which assembled
at Erie on Wednesday Of last week,
had the sagacity at the last moment,
TO recognize the claims Of the farmer
by placing in nomination for the Office
of State Treasurcr representative Of
the class in the person Of our worthy
State Lecturer, Col. V. Il. Piolett.
"Whilc it is not our province, as a
general rule, to discuss the proceedings
|ot political conventions, their plat
forms or nominations, yet in this case
we may be permitted to say few
words.
"That the nomination for State
Treasurer was entirely unsought by
Brother Piolette we know from a
conversation had with him four days
previous to the meeting Of the convcn-
ton; and whether he will accept the
honor rendered him we have not yet
learned but Of this we feel assured,
If he accepts the nomination and is
elected by the people they will have a
rciormer for Treasurer who, in the
administration of the affairs of this de-
partment, will be Influenced BY neither
fear nor favor, aud will know neither
friend nor foe, We base this predic-
tion upon personal knowledge of the
characteristics of the man."
The next witness we call to the
stand, is the editor Of the Vorkinymoa,
the organ of the Miners and Laoorers'
Benevolent association ofPennsylvania,
published at Pottsville, Pa, who gives
the following as its reasons for sup
porting Pershing and Piolctt, viz
The National Labor Union, the In.
dustrial Congress Of the United States,
the various farmers organizations of
the country, the Harrisburg Anti,
Monopoly Convention, the Cincinnati
Farmers and Workingmcn's Confer
ence, and all other bona fide laboring.
mems organizations in the land, having
declared against contraction and the
national banks and for making the
government legal tenders the exclusive
currency Of the country and the Erie
Democratic Convention having alb
solutcly and emphatically endorsed
those declarations consistency, honor
and due regard for the present safety
and future prosperity of the industrial
classes of the country require that the
farmers and the working people shall,
irrespective of party and of local con
sideration, give their undivided support
to the Erie nominees, Cyrus l.. Perish.

The bluster in the Radical press
about Judge Pershing's record is best
answered by the fact that his constitu-
ents were so well satisfied with it that
they kept returning him to the Legis-
lature as long as he would permit. He
was elected for five successive terms
