Overthrow Of the Ring.

EDITOR CITIZEN Il notice in the
Eoqle Of the End. some one attempt
ing to answer an article published in
the CITIZEN of February the 9th, on
the Senatorial dead lock, which was
lately unlocked by the smash OF the
ring, which meets with the approba-
ton of every intelligent Republican OF
Penn township. We were brought to
exclaim when we saw that article.
signed S., where did such man as
that come from. But without much
search we found it in the shape OF a
Sea Man For our part we don't see
where Mr.. S. has placed one single
truth before the readers of the EdJte
in his reply, for We have read 1t care
fully and don't find one single sentence
in it where the shadow OF truth exists,
except the one, where he says, that the
>Rcpublicans Of this and every town
ship expected our Representatives. tc
vote for the best interest Of the party
that elecced them to their seats. This
is the only clause in his reply that Is
true. We certainly do expect them to
represent the wish of the people. That
is why the majority of the Republl-
cans Of Penn denpnnce the course o
Messrs. Greer aud Bell. They have de
ceived the people But we rejoice tc
krow that we did elect one that did
represent and vote for the best interest
of tie Republican party that elected
him, and his course at Harrisburg Is
applaudcd by all true Republicans in
this part OF the county They feel
proud that they have elected one man,
w. p. Braham, in whom they can put
trust and confidence We would be
very glad to have the Republicans OF
Penn township take vote on the
course of cur representatives az Har
risburg. and by so doing Mr.. ). woulo
certainly find out whether he IL truth
full writer or a falsilier He wOulc
find by such vote that w. p. Brahan
would have, as we said before, two
thirds of the Republicans in Penn
sanctioning his course in the Legisla
ture.

be says that we prayed 10 God to aio
the dead lock to stay locked until tbt
voice of the people would be hear(
and until the ring be broken down
and he says cur prayer will not likely
be answered. But the prayer ha'
cen ansuered, in the overthrow o
the ring. in which the Republicans o
Penn do ejoice, and in the election 0
United States Senator, who is quail
fed to represent the interest OF thf
people in the United States Senate,
who will not represent the interest oi
the Cameronists. But in further re
ply to Mr.. s., we have only to cay
that where little is given little is re
quired, and so we cant expect anything
from the Eagle writer. But perhaps
the worthy Mr. S. is in duty bound tC
I support the ring, owing TO the fact o
him getting the appointment Of census
enumerator in this township through
the influence of that branch Of the ring
that exists in this county. In conclu
sion we have no hesitancy in saying
that the popular feeling that exists
among the members of the Republican
party in Penn township highly sus
tains and approves Of Mr.. Braham''
course at Harrisburg on the Senator
question, and that by more than three
to one, the Republicans in this part o
the county asked US to write lettc'
to Mr.. Braham telling him that his
course was just in accordance with The
voice of the people. and we could to
day get two-tbirds Of the Republicans
to such a letter in this township Bn
We will stop for the present, hoping tC
hear from the Eagt again.
