Raftsman's Journal

A Word with You, Governor.

Will your supreme Excellency be kind enough to explain your connection with the Native American Party and movement in the campaign of 1851?--Did your Excellency contribute towards a Native newspaper published in Harrisburg at that period? and did you not falsify your promises to the poor editor who was green enough to put faith in your word?

Your object was to raise a schism between the Democratic and Whig elements--which formed the Native American Party--and the game succeeded; didn't it, Governor? But like a scurvy politician, you forgot your pledges, and they stand to this day on record as an evidence of your ingratitude!--Blanche's Sunday Press.

We have waited for ten days, to hear from some one of the Governor's organs relative to the above charge, but they are now trying to deceive Protestants, foreigners, as they did the Native American party in 1851, and it does not suit their purposes to refer to history, particularly if it refers to transactions more than a year old. Mr. Blanche, at the time of the last Gubernatorial campaign, edited a Native American paper in this place, and for some reason, he and his friends a short time before the election, dropped Governor Johnson and spoiled our calculation several hundred votes. Had the contribution in question anything to do with this charge? Come, Mr. Blanche, give us a history of the entire transaction.--Telegraph.
