The Whig Standard

COME-OUTERS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Perry (Pa.) Freeman, of Thursday week, contains a statement signed by thirty-five workingmen at Juniata Furnace, in that county, of which, after repelling the slander of a Locofoco paper that they had become Clay men out of fear of their employers, they use the following language:

"A majority of the undersigned openly declare they have labored nearly all their lives at iron establishments, and acknowledge they have voted the Democratic ticket time after time in the face of their employers without either fear or restraint, and would yet continue to do so if the experience of the past had not taught us a lesson never (by us) to be forgotten. We were taken by the hand, led with Democratic faith, and assured all was right. We believed it, we confided in the doctrine, we clung to it, we advocated the party, and we voted to uphold it, until, to our sorrow, we found we were crushing ourselves under its heavy weight. We found we were robbing ourselves by our own acts, and were helping to bring difficulties upon ourselves, which we had not the power to remove, if we persisted in that course.

The undersigned say that they are all workingmen at the Juniata Furnace--that this is their own free act--that they have been forced by the foul slanders and false representations of the Perry County Democrat, alone to make this statement to the public--and that they are all voters."
