HENRV S. SIIENCK, G. CLARKSON. Two of thc other candidates on the ticket, Samuel Lindsay and Elias H. Rhoads, had their names announced as candidates for Re¬ corder, ".SUBJECT TO TUE DECISION OFTHK PEO-
rtE's COUNTY COXVENTIOX," but as their im- medi.ale constituents sent them into that con¬ yention without any delegates, they were *' nowhere" when the convention met, so they took refuge with the " committee"
It may he "all right," and they may be all very honorable raen, but we doubt whether tho voters and tax-payers will consider men who give pledges, and the next day break them, very safe to entrust grave and respon¬ sible interests with. A man whose pledgo is worth no more than that, ought not to receive much favor from a confiding people.
ANOTHEE .SENSIBLE AND C0N8EEVATIVE VDXCS FBOK THE SOUTH.
A correspondent of tho .-lugustft (Ga.) Chron¬ icle and Sentinel, in a long letter on the politi¬ cal stale of affairs, holds the following very sensible language:
'If our Northern frieuds have estimated Southern chnracter, according to certain spe¬ cimens which havo been handed around, and particularly about Washington City and our State Capitals, for the last few years, they must have a bad opinion of us. Tho yeoman¬ ry ofthe Soulh, who have better employment than to be playing politician, protest against the injustice of being judged by thesepatterns. This class of blustering party leaders, what¬ ever be the type of their courage, aro danger¬ oua men. Whether they are true pluck or not —and the signs are against them—they have i^omo tact at sotting other people "by the ears." 1 am not .sure that any of our people love to fight, but I nm sure that truly brave men will, of choice, fight ouly under a moral neceasity. They will figbt only jis ft "choice of evils," audi believe that there are not many of our yeom.ani-y, at tlic South, who will be rcluc- tnntto tight when these conditions arc fulfilled. I feel more certain slill, that there ia nothing in the political history of the country, up to the presenL time, which meets these conditions. Nothing 1ms occurred to fight about, mid it would be folly to quarrel nnd fight about some imagined contingency, barely possible in the future. Will our voting population at the South permit vaporing parly leaders to impli¬ cate them with men and meaaures that are al¬ ready pledged to a war policy, in the event of certain coutingcncies—constitutional contin¬ gencies too—involving only a question of theo¬ retical politics? As I before stated, he who is committed to secession is ns fuliy committed to war. They are inseparable, as far I can see.    In the language of the great Webster,
Tlie idea of a peaceable secession is an ab¬ surdity," to my mind. I nsk, are we ready to fight for a mere idea? Shall wc fight for nothing? Let us uot begin to fight for noth¬ ing, and the time may soon come—probably it ¦will soon come—when we shall have nothing left worth fightiug for."
It gives UK pleasure to reprodncc in our col¬ umns all such sentimenta frora thc South as the above, and we believe they are the senti¬ ments of the mnss of the Southern people. And in ihis connection wc may remark that never before has there been such a rush of Southern visitors to thc Northern Stntes as there has been this summer, and we think we cannot be mistaken in saying, that never have our Southern friends had raore forcibly im¬ pressed upon their attention, that however opinions may differ, there is nothing between the North aod South for either to Jiyltt the other.
jjg^Our usually amiable neighbor of thc Intelliyenccr, thc doublc-headc d, double-befud¬ dled orgiiii of the democracy, was unusually eicited yesterday .about the gloomy prospect before itfor the election of thc tad-pole county ticket it is now advocating. Thc Inieiligencer is very much concerned for fear that thc can¬ didates nominated by the People's convention nre not the friends of our Oongressm.in, the Hon. TuADUEDS Stevexs. We rnther guess that -ivhen Mr. Stevens looks to thc Intelliyen¬ ccr as an advocate and defender, ^r lo the material composing the caucas ticket, such as CiiiiiSTv IIux.si:cKEit, David H. Lehjie, .Toiix C. W^\LTOX, ITENitv S. S(;'iEX4'K, GEit.viiprs Cr-AKK.soN, Ei.isiiA Geigkh, and comp,iiiy, ns custodians of his honor nnd political fortunes, hemny just nswell make up his mind fo retire lo thc shades of private life. The Intelligencer and the men who got up this caucas ticket, with Vt'iliiani Carpenter, David ShiiUz, .Tohn C. Walton and company at lhe head, vrere tlic bitterest revilers aud ninUgners of Tii.\1)I)Bus Steven.h two years ago when lie was a. candi¬ date for Congress, nnd made use of all the low, dirty expedients their fertile brains could in¬ vent to h.avc him defeated. Perhaps the thrashing this sore-head mongrel party re¬ ceived then, has changed thoir tactics, and they prci'er not trying that experiment ngain. Thc only thing this sore-hend party have shown as commendable, is impudence ; thc* im¬ pudence of presenting themselves as thc spe¬ cial friends of Thaddeus Stevex.s, when near¬ ly every mau on their ticket opposed him and used aU Iheir feeble infiuence to elect .Tames 31. Hopkins to Congi-ess, wJiilc every man on tlte People'.s ticket stood by the nominees of the party, .ind spent Ihcir time .ind money io secure JMr. Stevens' election, The coolness of the whole thing needs but to be referred to. to explode their hypocritical pretentions.
But the whole trouble about thc People's convention, was that "their kind" were not recognized and put upon thij ticket. Fellows who vole and cut tickets just when they hap¬ pen to suit or not to suit them were not nomi¬ nated, and their hind of party men make a gi-ent ado nbout "cheating," aud a nice oppor¬ tunity is given for Carpenlcriny up some kind of a concern to slip one uiorcof the family into a snug oflice. The game won't win no more thanthe ricketty job of Carpenlcriny which was to elevate James M. Hopkins into a Con- grcssmnii did (wo years ago.
ME. LINCOLN AND THE TARIFF.
A coiTcspdndent of thc Philadelphia North American furnishes thc following from thc journals of Congress as a partof his record:
^'^April 1848.—C. J. Ingersoll moved a resolution, the object of which was to throw ofl' 15 of the thirty per cent, ad valorem tax on French productions- imported into the United States.
Thesubject, after discussion, was laid upon thc table, Lincoln voting ivith John Blanch¬ ard, Jasper E. Brady, George N. Eckert, John Freedly, Jloses Hampton, John H. W. Uornback, Alexander Irvin, Lewis C. Levin, Andrew Stewart and Jolm Strohm, in favor of laying the resoluion upon the table, aud tlms preventing the proposed reduction of duties. Sec Congressional Globe, vol. 18. p. 638.
.Vgain. June IP, 1848—Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to offer tho followiug resolution:
'Resolved, 'J'hat thc Commiitee of AVays and .Meansbe instructedio inquire into thc expe¬ diency ofreporiiug nbiil increasing I he duties on foreign luxuries of all kinds, nndou such forcigh manufactures n.s arc now coming into ruinous competition with .American labor.'
Vcas 86 ; nays 82. The rules were not sus¬ pended, two-(hirtis not voting infavor there¬ of, but amongthe votes in favor ofsuspendiug ihc rules i.s thnt of Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois.—Congressional Globe, vol. IS, p. 852.
Again, in 2d Session of SOth Congre.s.s, De¬ cember 11,1848, Jlr. Eckert offered the foUow¬ ing resoluiion:
^Resolved, That the Commiitee of Ways and Menus be instructed to inquire intothe expedi-, ency of reporting a tariff bill based upon the principles ofthe tariff of 1S42.'
Jlr. Lincoln voted infavor of the resolution. —Coiigres;;ional Globe, vol. 20, p. 26.
vVgain. .January 3, 1849—Upon considera¬ lion ofa resolution ofMr. Greeley, inquiring of the Secretary of the Treasury as to ibe tariff of, 46 on flannels, &c., nnd asking why the taritf on these articles was lower than on the raw material. On motion to lay the reso¬ lution on the tnble, Mr. Lincoln voted against laying on tlic table.—Congressional Globe, vol. 20, p. 147.
Thus it will be seen thnt every recorded vote ofMr. Lincoln in Congress, on the tariff question, was in fnvor of the highest tariff proposed, and if he did not commit himself uny more fully on this question, itwas because no opportunity offered whilst he v.-ns in Con¬ gress. If his acts and speeches outof Con¬ gress be examined, Ihey wiU.be found to be perfectly consistent with his votes in Congress on the tariff question."
TESRraiE CALAMITY ON LAKE MICHIGAN. Sinkingr of the Steamer Lady Elgin—Over Three Bandred lives lost. Tho most calamitous shipwreck that has befallen any vessel since the loss of the steam¬ ship Central America on her passage from As¬ pinwall to New York in September, 1857, occurred on lake Micbigan on last Saturday. From the most reUable accounts it appears that the steamer Lady Elgin left Chicago on Friday evening, with about four hundred per¬ sons (men, women ond children) on board, excursionists, tourists and passengers. The steamer was bound on an excursion up Lakes Michigan and Superior. Till near dawn on Saturday morning nU went well and merrily. The saloon was then tho scene of music, dan¬ cing and generally festivity. Who on board that steamer, in her*brilliant saloon, joiuing in tbe mirth and jollity of their last festival, nnd cnjoyinff ^^'e delights of tho popular and graceful Terpsichorean art, imagined for a momou^t tli'tt they wore at thnt iustant ou the brink of an eternity into which all but a Binall fraction of them were to be precipated within half an hour afterwards ? Just before dawn, however, on Saturday morniug, there was an awful interruption to the gay scene on board the ill fated steamer. Thc crash of a collision startled all on board. Thc schooner Augusta, ruuning at Ihe rate of eleven miles per hour, came in contact with the Lady Elgin, produc¬ ing such a fracture in her that she drifted helplessly for half an hour in the darkness, and then sank in 300 feet of water, when sorae thirty-five miles from Chicago, The fearful scene attending thc ainkiug of the Lu¬ dy Elgin frightens imagination from picturing what it was. All an board, with the exception of fifty or sixty persons, were, it appears, simultaneously engulphed in thc waters of the lake. There seems to have been n most reck¬ less and even crimiual lack of boats and Ufc preaerving apparatus, as will be seen from the following account of the disaster, given by H. G. Caryl, tho clerk of the Lady Elgin, who was on board when thc collision occurred, and was fortunate enough to make his escape in the manner related by himself:—
THF.   3T.\TEMENT    OP   MR-  CAUVL,   TIIB   CLtUlK OP  TIIE   LAIIV  KLGIS.
The steamer Lady Elgin left the Jmrbor of Chicago at Iialf-past eleven o'clock ou Friday evening last for a pleasure excursion to Lake Superior. There were about 250 excursionists from Millwaukee and Wisconsin, on bo.ard, and among them lho Union Guard of that city.-— About Imlf-past Iwo o'clock on Saiurday mor¬ ning last, thc schooner Augusta, of Oswego, collided with tho steamer when fihe was about thirty-five railes from Chcago, and icu miles from land. The collision took place at the midships gangway and on thc larbonrd side of the steamer. Thc two vessels separated im¬ medintely afterwards, and tho schooner, hav¬ ing her saUs set and the wind blowing freshly, drifted from the steamer very soon. "When tho collision occiin'cd there ivei'c music and dancing going forward in Ihc principal cabin. Instantly nfter the ci'ash of cidli.sion both ceased, and the steamer sank half au hour after. Pn.<;sing through the cabins I saw the Indies pale, motionless and silent.— There was no cry, no shriek on board, no souud of nny kind but that of thc escaping steam and surging waves. Whether thc In¬ dies wero silent from fear, or were not aware of the imminent fate which they stood quietly awaiting, I could not saj'. A boat wns low¬ ered for the purjmse of examining (hc leak, which soon mnde itself known ; but there were only two oars to row it with, and unfortunately at that moment some one had taken possession of one of them, and thc boat wns conseqnently useless. Wc succeeded in reaching the lar¬ board wheel once, wherein the leak was, but were soon driven from it by thc fury of the waves, and washed ashoi*e at thc village of Winetka. There were only two other boats on the steamer. One of theso took thirteen persons from her, all of whom were saved. The Otlier boat took eight persona, but only half thnt number reached land alive, the oth¬ er four being drowned on the bench when the boat drifted there. The rush ofwater through llie leak had extinguished the fires before I left ihc steamer, and the engines hnd ceased working in consequeuce. The wind waslilow- ing so irnrd in .such a direction as to drift ihe bonta, bodies of thc drowned, and fragments of lhe wreck up the lake, and most of thom will probably be washed ashore in the vicin¬ iiy of Winetka. I fancied 1 could sec from the beach to which I was drifted, fragment of wreck^nnd human beings struggling with the .watta'S, diifiing townrds the shore.
No accurate list or nnmberof the peraons on hoard thc ill-fated steamer can be given, but the following is estimated as nearly coiTcct:

VICE PRESIDENT BRECKINRIDGE ON THE STUMP. John C. Breckinridge, Vice-President of thc United States, having spoken from the stump according to announcement^ Icives himself in prelty much the same position as he was be¬ fore he mounted it, Tn reading over his .speech in fuli, although wc find him giving a running exposition of himself iu various lighis, such as that hedid not seek thciiominntiou for President, thnt he is the regular Democrntic candidate and Douglns not, that he did not sign a petition for thc pardon of John Brown, (hnt hc was nnt in favor of Genernl Taylor's election lo tiic Presidency, -we raust confess that wc cannot discover in auylhing he says, auy jiroof that he is not thc candidate of ¦Southern disunionists, nnd not bound to do their behests. He says, it is true, di.stinclly that he is nul a disunioniat. His personal ai- tnchmeni to thc Union hns not been denied.— The question, however, is—"John C, Breck¬ inridge, you have been nominated by a body of Southern oxtrenjisis wlio declare llmt if Lincoln is elected it is the duty ofthe South'to secede, you have accepted thnt nomination, adopted their platforni of slavery-extension nnd now, if Lincoln is elected, answer yoi pcFSOually, woiUd thc South have cause to secede, nnd if they attempted it, would you, as Prei?ident of thc UiiUcd States, compel them to remain ? Would you crush thc treason nnd punish the traitors? Is your love for thc Union strong enough fnr tlint?" Jlr, Breckinridge in his speech makes no answer to any such quesiion as this, and j^t it is thc one he should have answered to free himself from the tniiit of disunion. Because he hns not answered this question, ive consider that j liis lowerin"- his digniiy, tn mount thc stump, has beon of no nvail.

.state.ment of CAI'T. mad.ott, of the
."I'lHOOXKII AirOLSTA.
Capt. JIalloI, of the schooner Augusta, states that when hc first discovered the steamer's lights—both red and bright—hc supposed her to be from a quarter to half a mile distance, and steering northeast, Itwas mining very hard at the lime, Wc kept our vessel on her course east by souih, nntil we saw n collision wns prob.ible. wlicn wc put the helm hard up. Struck the steamer two or ihrce minutes afterwards just abaft the paddle box, on the north side. The steamer kept on her course, her engine in full motion. Headed ihe Augusta around north, alongside the steamer, but they got separated in about a minute, when the Augusta fell in the trough ofthe sea; all the head goai*, gibboom nud stanchcons were carried awny. We took in s.iil nnd cleared aw.iy anchor, supposing thc vessel would fill. After clearing Ihc wreck aud getting up foresail, we .succeeded iu gelling before the wind, and stood for land. We lost sight of the steamer in fivo minutes after the collision. Mr, Bluman, second male, slates that at abouthalf-pnsttwo o'clock a squall struck us ; five minutes later saw thc lights ofthe vessel off port bow; sung nut hard a port; no attention was paid to it, and struck just forward of thcjiaddlcbox, larboard side, tearing off I he wheel, nnd cutting through thc guards inlo thc cabin and hull, B'e were now steering northwest by west, a point to windward. Our course nt thai time was northwest. After striking us the vessel hung for a moment and then got 'clear. 1 went below io sec what damnge wa? done, and when I got back ihe vessel was gone. When the inlelligence of the loss of the aieamer wiih the excursion parly reached Milwiiukce yetiterday, it spread like wild fire thrnughout ihe city. The ielegi'aph ofiice was thronged all day wilh relatives and friends ofthose nn board.
Many who presented dcspa(ches were in (cars, nnd ihe raost intense an,-?iely and ex¬ citement were manifested in the countenances of nil. In the first ward of that cily it .'•nid there is scarcely a house or plncc of business which had not. lest some inmate or ciiiiiloye. All thc survivors unite in according to Cnptain Jack Wilson, commander, prai.se for his bravery nnd dnring ihroughout. He was foremost in confronting the danger and earnest for the safety of the pasiscngcrs. lie was drowned within a liAndred feet of thc shore.
Near one huudred person.s arrived within fifty ynrds of the beach, but ¦n'cre swept back by the returning wave and lost. Up to nine o'clock to-night only Iwcnty-onc bodies have been recovered, most of whieh have been re¬ cognized by friends as those of residents of Milwaukee.
Mr. Abraham B. GreybiU, of West, Earl, desires us to say that his name was used on a committee atthe late County meeting of "soi-e heads," without his knowledge or consent.— He was not present in the city on ihat day, and if hc had been, he would not have partici¬ pated in the movement, aud simply because he had no sympathy with It, or its conductors.
Dr. S. M, Shaeffer, of EUzabeth township, also wishes us to state that the use ofhis name "was unauthorized.
JB®" We expect by next week to publisli ¦the tkird, or probably the/our/A edition of the Indepeudent ticket, as "revised and improvod" Tsy the "CompUer," as the book publisher ^oold say.   So we go.
¦Ahothbe Independent caxdidate.—It is tannounced that Hon. Darwin Phelps wiU be ¦the independent cnndidate for Congress in the Westmoreland district, in opposition to Hon. John Covode, the Republican nominee. . . Mx, Phelps, we leam, takes tho field with \tlie nnderatanding that the democrats iriU .pot zoake^A nomination.
SECTIONALISM.
Mr. Breckinridge was nominated by a " sec¬ tional" Convention. It was almost exclusive¬ ly Southern, there being but a handful of northern delegates present in it,—^Vet Jlr, Breckinridge denies that he is a "aectional" candidate, and meets thc charge thus:
"That isthe platform and these arc the principles avowed. If they are constitutional ihey are not sectional, for thc Constitution is broad enough to cover ihc whole Union.
He who standa upon thc Constitution can neither be sectional nor a disunionist.'*
Very good doctrine, Sir. Breckinridge: and ns the Republican platform and party " stand upon thc Conststution," they cannot be " sec¬ tional." We accept the logic, nnd hope we shall hear no more from the Breckinridgers about thc *' sectionalism" and "dlsunionism" of the Republicans,
Bxtekshi: PonGERiEs.—The Philadelphia Buletin statca that WUliam H. Crabbe, a young and highly respectable la^wyer of that city, has recently obtained possession of valuable securities to thc estimated .imount of $15,000 to $30,000, by meansof forged pow¬ ers of attorney. It is supposed that hc sailed for Europe on the 25th of August. The par¬ ties wbose names he forged were absent in Europo at tfae time.
Tho Republicans of Jersey Cily had a splendid gathering on Weilnesday evening. Not less thnn 6000 people ;werc present, in¬ cluding 1500 Wido Awakes, Gov. Penning¬ tou was among the speakers. In the course of his remarks, he said:
" He had heard a great deal on tho fioor of Congress about ihis man and thnt man being * national.' At first hc did not understand it. He knew that hc was born in thc nation, and therefore supposed himself'national.' (Laugh¬ ter,) But hc soon found it meant 'is (hat man in favor of perpetual servitude?' When they talk of 'national'men they should talk of freemen. But now all Democracy is swal¬ lowed up in the quesiion, • Is ho for slavery?' If not hc was not a Democrat. Hc maintain¬ ed ihat as a inoral and political question it had resolved itself into this proposition, 'where slavery is nol, there shall it not be,' Thepeople should say to .slavery, 'thus far and no farther.'

What it Costs to nEALiNC0J.x jMan Down South.—A man in Vicksburg, Miss., express¬ ed himaelf in favor of Jlr. Lincoln. What happened to him is thus narrated by the Vicksburg iSwn -¦
"When last Iicard of, the Lincolnile who gave his opinions an airing so freely in our city on Jlonday, and who for so doing was sent adrift on the Mississippi river, after being TTcll tarred, was about twenty miles from here, slowly progressing towards New Orleans, in mid river. A stout cord and a strong limb is the only fit punishment for such incendiaries of evU."

Murder.—On Saturday afternoon last a most attrociouB and cold blooded murder was committed near Conestoga Ccntro, in tbis county. Tbo vic¬ tim was a colored woman named Evo Cnllsbury, nearly ninoty years of age, Sho was on her way on foot from Martic Forgo to tbo Contre, and when near tho latter pluco must havo baan altncked.— Whon found shu was itiSQnsible, but atill living. Sbe was convoyed to tho Ccntro whero sbc died about si.x o'clock.
On Sunday Deputy Coroner Jacob Hobble beld on inqnest upon the body, whon a post-mortem examination, hy Dra. CUogcrand Kendig, revealed tbe fuct thnt fonr cuts from 1} to 2 inches in length, and six smaller ones, were discoverod upon aoveral parts of tbo bead. Tbo skull was fractured and tbe loft aide driven intothe brain. It waa tho opinion of the physiciana tbat tho injuries eould not have resulted from accident. Tho jury returned a verdict thnt tbo dece:isod camo to ber death by willful murder, parpetrutod by tho bands of somo unknown person,
Snspicion nttached to a vngrant who was scon in tbo immediato neighborhood of tbe mnrder, and pursuit was immediately commenced. Ho was traced to Willow Strcot, where all traco of him was loaL
Fortunately, however, as Mr. Hcbblo waa on his way to this city, on Monday morning, bo mot a man who corresponded iu person and nppearunce with a description of tho supposed morderur. Ho at oncc arrested him and brougbt bim to this city, wbon he was taken boforo Mayor Sanderson, who after hearing tbo testimony, committod him to tho Connty Prison to answer tbo charge of murder at the Novembor torm of Sessions. In answer to thu Mayor ho said bis namo was Jacob Whitman; thathe waa about twenty eight years of age, but refnsed to answer any otber qnestions. Ho ia ap¬ parently a german by birth, and witfaout excep¬ tion ono oftho moat vicious looking persona wo havo ever mot with. His^clotbea woro litterally in rugs, and coverod witb filth and vermin. Ho had in his possession a staff somo live lect long and about an inch and a half in diumcior. This, aa was part of his clothing, was sprinkled with blood. It wns doubtless the instrument with wbicb tbe murder wus committed. What motivo ho had for perpetrating thc murder can only bo surmised.— Mr. Hcbblo gives tho fuilowing additional partic¬ ulars of tho aOiiir:—'
Thc woman wus found near tho foot of Miller's Hill, About ten minutes beforo sho was found Mr. Geo. Warfel met the man at tho foot of tho hill proceeding very slowly, with a large club in hia hand, Mrs. Callsbiiry was coming down tho hill in an oppc-sito direction. A few momenta after¬ wards tbe same man was met by Messrs. Jobn and Josopb Shunk asbort distaace frum tho hill walk¬ ing at a rapid rato. When they camo down tho hill thoy found thc dying woman along side of thc road, where she hud been dragged from tho centre, a distance of eight or ten yards, as was manifest from tho tract on tho roud.

Three years ago llcnry S. Shenck resided in the Norlh We.si Ward, in thecity of Lancas¬ ter, nnd was well known us llic proprietor of ih« Naibmal Uolel, in Nortli Queen sireet,
ilr. Shenck was a candidate I'or .'^licrilf nnd there were at the same time five other gond and worthy men candidales for differeui Siate nnd t'ouniy ofiices in Ihe wnrd beside Mr. Shenck. In order to do full jusiice to nil of lhe other candidales In ihc ward, as well as in Mr, Shenck, a eomproinise vas sugj^esicd by lhe friends of ihc different caudidaics, and ngrced to by all except Mr. Shenck. who openly nnd piil)licly averred lhat tiiiles.-* he could clecl delegates whom he could control for every inlent and purpose, he il:d not warn the vote oflhe ward. Ofcourse Mr, Shenck did not wish lo barter and sell the delegates provided be could get. ihem under hi.s entire conlrol. as hc intended to <lo. Oh! no. Ilenry was loo honest in procure his noniiuation un¬ der a sysiem of bargain and sale !
Mr. Sbenck merely desired io nse ibem for every merchantable intent and purpo.ce in or¬ der to be nominated for Shvriff—tliat's nil!
Mr, .^henck not being sntlsficd witb the vote ofthe ward as suggested by some of his best friends.heran hIsown ticket In opposilion to the one ngrced upon by all Ihc oiher can¬ didates In the w:ird. and the conseriuent and natur.al ro.-^uU wuti that hi.s ticket was dcl'eaicd, and instead ofMr. Shenck having the entire control over ihe delegates he did not get the vote at nil, precisely as he desired it.
This year Mv. Shenck ngain went into con¬ veniion under the usual solemn pledge; made all thc barg.ains and aales tbat his maierial allowed Iiiin to do, and no one said aiighl against It, nor foond any fault .-with It but himself. Has Mr, Shenck, therefore, nuy reason to complain of others tvho did jnst ihc very .«aiuc thing which he did himaelf, but who were more fortunate nnd met with better success than he did. No one should complain when he is beat nt hi.s own game. No honor¬ able man would complain when boal by nn¬ othcr with thesame weapon which he himself used for the same purpose. Does Mr. .Shenck feel justified In pursuing the cour.sc he lias l.ikcn—can he feel justifiable^' under all the circumstances'?    I think not.
Supposing yir. Shenck had received the nomination and Jlr. Boyd was defeated, would Mr. Shenck then think it an act of justice in Mr, Boyd pursuing the same course he him¬ self now pursues, ailcr he, Mr. Shenck, had beaten Mr. Boyd at his own game, both of thom having been pledged lo abide thc decis¬ ion of the convention, be the result ns it may. How can Mr, Shenck expect a Uberal sup¬ port from the Republican party under the ex¬ isting circumstances. Ifhe does, I venture to Bay that he will be woefully disappointed. A LOOKER ON.
