GRANT AND VICTORY !
The "Star and Sentinel,"
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
"Rally 'round the Flag, Boys !"
The Presidential Campaign of 1868 will
be one of surpassing Interest and excite
ment. The Impeachment Trial of Aw-
DRINV JOHNSON; the possible attempt at
resistance and revolution by the danger
ous man now occupying the Executive
Chair ;—tbe proceedings of the Impeach
ment Congress during the Apring and
Summer months ;—the assem%ling of the
Republican and Copperhead National
Conventions, and the platforms, candi
dates, &e., of the two great political par
ties ,—all these circumstances will make
the Campaign of 1868 the most important
that has ever occurred In the history of
political parties in this country. Repub
licans must be awake. A newspa
per this year will become a necessity to
every voter. No house can afford to be
without one.
It will be the aim of the publishers of
the "Star and Sentinel," to keep their
readers thoroughly posted and informed
on all the great matters of National,
State and local interest connected with
the contest, and in every respect to make
a good FAMILY NEWSPAPER. The out
side will be devoted to literary and use
ful Matter—such as Tales, Poetry, Anec
dotes, Farm News, Sketches, &e. The
in side will contain local news of Adams
and neighboring counties, Editorials,
Congressional and Legislative proceed_
In ge, Market Reports, Marriages, Deaths,
Advertisements, &c. No family should
do without it.
TERNS : Two Dollars a year. in *drone..
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
In ordelto place the Star and Sentinel
within the means of every Republican
family and voter in Adams and the our
r ounding counties, we will furnish it to
the 16th of November—which will in
clude the returns of the Presidential
Election, at the following
RATEA
Single Subscribers, $l.OO each.
Ten Copies, $B.OO or 80 eta. "
Twenty Copies, 15.00 "75 " "
These rates will barely cover the cost
of the white paper upon which the Star.
and Sentinel is printed—so that payment
must be made invariably in advance.—
Orders by mail promptly attended to.—
The papers will be sent as soon as the
names are received. Address,

Gettysburg, Pa.
THE Sontbern Rebels are stubbornly
resisting the Congressional plan of Re
construction, and are giving a variety of
reasons for it.
The true one came out the other day in
Jowltsox's organ, the National Intelli
gencer, in which an Arkansas correspon
dent declares :
"In any country where labor votes, it is
impossible for capital to control the great
masses of the people ; and to-day the property
holders of the North are in urgent need of
the moral support of the intelligent and influ
ential men—of the South, unwisely disfran
chised."
In 1856, , HEHSCHELL V. JOHNSON Of
Georgia shocked the Northern mind,
ever of the Democratic party, when he
declared that t . ,!;capitotought to own la
bor;" and that as slaves fulfilled this
condition, Slavery was therefore right.
We had supposed the abolition of slavery
had disposed of all this nonsense ; but
it appears to be still the idea of Southern
aristocrats that "labor ought not to vote,"
and that men of money should absolute
ly control the country. It is rather odd
to see "men of labor" voting for a party
whose Southern wing, at least, hold such
horrible and infamous opinions.
TN= " emoeratic" Editors stagger
ender the . mutated proofs that Cop
perhead , pecters, Collectors, and A
gents are making colossal fortunes by
swindling the government out of nine
tenths of the Whiskey Tax. They are
angered at finding that a liepublican
Mate Adniinistation is paying off the
State debt, reducing taxation, and bring
ing order out of the• chaos in which
"democratic" Governors left the affairs
of the Commonwealth, whose people
trusted them only to be cheated and be
trayed. They are fttrious at beholding,
on every hand, the manifest indications
that under GRANT the country is to be
permanently restored, and Republican
principles made dominant over every
portion of the country. They are greatly
in want of comfort. They -seek it--
morning, noon, and night; but they find
it not. Won't somebody hold their split
ling beads, cool their fevered brows,
rtothe their anxious hearts, and quiet
their perturbed spirits? Poor fellows,
with inevitable defeat staring them in
their face, they are in a bad way !

know his actual past and his threatened
future. No constitutional Monarch has
ever dared to present such a record of.of,
ficlal treachery, bold'deflance of popu
lar will, and persistent violation of law,
as has Andrew Jon - moil, since his acce3-
sion to the Presidency. Basely'betray
ing the party that elected him—striking
hands with the enemies of the _ Iftepublic
and making common cause with red
handed Rebels who sought the nation's
life—defying the law-making power by
deliberately trampling on laws constitu
tionaly enacted, and arrogating more
than regal prerogatives—debauching the
public servioe by infamous abuses of the
appointing power—encouraging opposi
tion to laws enacted for the government
of the Rebel States, and hindering their
reconstruction—denouncing Congress in
drunken revelries and maudlin speeches
as a "body hanging on the verge of the
government," and inciting drunken
mobs to assassination by apologies for
the New Orleans massacre and demand
ing why STEVENS and SUMNER. were not
"hung"—faithless to principle—false to
friends--deflaat of Congress—demand
ing, through a drunken prime minister,
whether the people would have him as
"King or President," and practically an
swering the question himself by assum
ing "kingly" power in violating the law
of the land—such is the record ANDREW
JOHNSON presents of his official admin
istration. For much less than this Lou
is XVI lost his crown and life—for much
lees the head of Charles I. was brought to
the block.
Before the U. S. Senate can acquit
Mr JOHNSON, they 'must take back their
twice solemnly adjudged record of the
constitutionality of the act he has delib
erately violated. They must admit the
unconstitutionality of their repeated en
actments for the government and resto
ration of the Rebel States. They must
practically-abnegate all self respect—all
claim as a gov;erning power in the Re
public—and accepting Mr. JOHI'4ISON as
"King or President," as he may elect, in
vest him with monstrous powers, danger
ous in the hands of a prudent Executive
—fearful in the hands of a bold, daring,
reckless demagogue. We apprehend no
such result, but "look to the Senate" for
deliverance, and for such a verdict in
this great trial as shall teach traitors and
demagogues in all time to come that in
this Republic, the law must be obeyed
by Presidents as well as citizens.
"DEMOCRATIC" BAWLING !
We congratulate the "Democratic" Ed
itors. They have an idea. They pre
tend to believe that the expenses of the
Republican House of Representatives at
Washington are extravagant ; and they
are "horrified" all over! In order to
prove this "extravagance," and infer
"corruption," they resu;t to the conven
ient mode of counting items two, and
even three times !
For instance, in an article now going
the rounds of-he Copperhead press,
originating with the New York World,
they count stationery when it appears in
the Clerk's report as received from the
dealers; they count it again when issued
by the Clerk to the Post Master of the
House for sale to the Members or distri.
bution to the Committees; and they
count* again when sent to the various
branches of the Clerk's office for use in
transacting the business of the House!
There is no trouble in making big fig
ures by this dishonest process of multi
plication.
They also complain that the contingent
expenses of the House are heavy. But
Representatives will - die and must be
buried ; seats of Members will be con
tested, and contestants be paid ; furni
ture will wear out and break, and must
be replaced, and so on. All this takes
money. But these Editors do not state
what is true, that none of these bills can
be paid until they are audited by one of
the standing committees of the House,
which is composed of gentlemen of both
political parties. And, after being paid,
all these accounts are examined and pass
ed upon by the auditing officers of the
Treasury Department, who are of oppo
site politica to the officers of the House.
Complaint is made of the amount arid
kinds of stationery furnished the Mem
bers. To this it Is enough to say that
the stationery Is purchased by contract;
that bide are , publicly invited and the
entire trade notified; that the contract
for each article is given to the lowest bid
der therefor; that whatever etatianery a
Representative draws is charged against
his allowance; and that if he aventraws
that allowance the balance la charged
against his pay and is collected from
him.
The existing system has existed under
all administrations; and its only effect is
to enable Membeni to get at' the lowest
market rates the stationery they require,
and to get at like rates what may be re
quired for the business of the House.—
Separate accounts are kept of each, and
each article issued 4, properly charged and
accounted for. The Editors referred to
are evidently of ottiu.lon that wicked Re
publicans invented the present system
for plundering purposes, and that the
stationery is all given away ! . Wise
Judges ! • If they never „get nearer the
truth than they are in this instance, we
pity their readers, unless they enjoy be• .
ing misled And humbugged.

War record, during the Rebellion, with
his personal popularity, drew tp his sup

is indebted for his re-electi on. to New
Haven and Hartford, and the heavy col
onization in those eities of "roughs" from
New York, The 3d and sth wards, New
Haven, alone gave him 2199 majority
-464 more than his majority in the State.
In other words, the Republicans swept
the rural districts, but were overborne by
these two cities. The total vote in the
State was 99,323—majority for ENGLISH
1,735. TheiSenate will stand 12 Repub
licans to 9 Copperheads, a Republican
gain of one. The House will stand 129
Republicans to 108 Copperheads, a Re
publican majority of 21, which is nearly
twice as great as last year, and secures a
Republican Senator to succeed Mr. Dix
ox. His successor will be Ex-Gov. WTI.
A. BUCKINGHAM. In November next,
these Democratic "repeaters" will be
needed at home, in New York, and our
friends confidently expect to carry Con
nectcut for GRANT.

That there was math to crow for.
In Wisconsin the Republican State
ticket for Chif and Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court was triumphant by a
largly Increased majority. This will "set
tle" Mr. DooLrrrnE, end givens another
gain in the U. S. Senate.
In Michigan, no Statenandidates were
voted for. But the new Constitution was
voted down by 36,000 majority. Of
course, this was not a party fight. All
the Democrats opposed it, because it
established Impartial Suffrage; all the
Temperance men voted against it because
the prohibitory features of the present
Constitution had been omitted from the
new, and were submitted separately.—
The Good Templar organization gave its
whole strength to the Prohibition clause;
but against the Constitution lest, if It
were adopted and the Prohibitory clause
lost, they would lose ground already pos
sessed. Besides the new Constitution
largely increased the pay of State officers,
and contained several unacceptable
changes. The Copperheads are crowing
over this result; but it indicates nothing
as to next fall's voting on National Ques
tions. Michigan is as sure for GILLNT as
is Menallen township or .the York
Springs district.

COL ROBISON was a gallant soldier
thoroughout the war, is a gentleman of
hjgh position arid Irreproachable charac
ter—modest, honest, and manly. His
district and the State will have reason to
be proud of his record in legislation, as it
justly Is of that bravely made in war.
As this was not only the longest but
most remarkable contested election case
ever tried in the Legislature, we annex
a brief statement of it from the Seaga
Guard, and invite the attention of fair
minded men of all parties:
"The most material and important ground
of the contest was the fraud perpetrated at
Philipsburg, in Centre county, by the impor
tation of foreigners. A large number of Irish
laborers, who were working on a railroad in
the adjoining county, were brought over the
line about ten days before the election, and
quartered in Philipsburg in the hotels, where
they were kept until the fraud was consum
mated, when they returned to their work in
the other county. They were unnaturalized
foreigners, and were led up to the polls on
the day of the election, like so many sheep to
the shambles. Forged paper were procured
in Lnzerne county, where, it was proved, they
were lying about loose, bearing the seal of
the court, and signed by 31. 1. Philbin, Pro
tbonota7. They were sent up by "a lawyer"
from Philadelphia, put in the hands of one
Mark Leddy, a "boss" on the railread,and at
ter being soaked in coffee to give them the
appearance of age, they were distributed to
the men to produce at the polls as the evi
dence of their right to vote. The poOr dupes
were led up, one after another, by the Irish
"boss," (having also been furnished with tick
ets specially prepared for the purpose by one
Sheriff Perks,) and were made to perjure
themselves by swearing to their papers and
residence, in order to vote the Democratic
ticket. A more gross and infamous fraud
was never perpetrated in the Commonwealth.
soon as it...was known that the election
would be contested, the authors and perpetra
tors of this iniquity attempted to bribe the
most important witness to leave the State, (a
man named O'Mara) employing for this pur
pose a Catholic priest named Tracy, who was
produced on the stand and testified that lifter
corresponding with the Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, he paid
the witness .1500 to leave the State and remain
absent until the investigation was over. An
other witness, named, Jones, after he was sub
poenaed by the Sergeint-at-Arms, was hidden
sway in a stable, and his food carved to him
daily from the hotel where a majority of the
Irishmen had been quartered. Still another
witness, after he was actually on his way, was
slipped out of the car, from the very presence
of the officer ? by one of the contractors, who
had under has control the wretched instru
ments of the fraud. Our readers will remem
ber, that another witness, after he had testifi
ed before the committee, was murdered in
cold blood while on his return home. Fraud,
perjury, bribery and murder—all legitimate
consequences of the tactics of the Democratic
State Central Committee. What a fearful re
sponsibility rests upon the shoulders of the
man or men who made the contract for
enough votes to carry the Twenty-first Sena
torial District:"
Mr. 0' Mans was found after considera
ble trouble, and appeared before the com
mittee, testifying to the -fraudulent use
of the naturalization papers, and also
that he had been paid $6OO by Father
TRACY to leave the State until after the
trial. A desperate effort was made to
Weak down 0 1 MAne.'s testimony as false
and perjured. Near the close of the in
vestigation the Copperheads were star
tled by the appearance of Father TRACY
himself on the stand, fully endorsing
011ana's statement. We extraet from
Father Tascr's testimony :
'About two cf throe weeks before the
Lwocsiug or U bcgtatature—tae Drat st Jl.at
Yannary—l paid Mr. O'Mara five hundred
dollars in his own house in Clearfield ; it was
in the evening I paid him. The agreement
was he was to leave the State and stay out
,for three months. Mr. Gorman—a boss of
'Mr. Collins'—gave me the many to pay to
O'Mara. It was at the instance of Mr. Gor
man I made the arrangement with O'Mara.
Jihad correspondence with Mr. W. A. 114,1-
lace on the subject. The intention was to
keep Mr. 0' Mara out of the State until this
.contested election cue was decided."
The developents in this case alone
!prove the urgent ne('!issity for a stringent
gegistry law, if we want fair and honest
elections. The bitter opposition of the
dopperhead leaders to such a law only
`proves their approval of these villain
ous frauds and their determination to
carry elections by fair or foul means.
REBEL'S TIIIIEATMV . ANOTHER WAR.
The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury fore
shadows the Democratic programme. It
advises the Rebel whites of that State as
to their course; and counsels:
"Association with the great Democratic
Party of the United States. In this associa
tion, we will have a powerful external sup
pert. If they succeed in the approaching
Presidential election, negro rule, wherever
established, will be overthrown, The white
race will have a convention of their own,
take pointeation of the State, and be sup
ported by the Government of the United
States. If they fall, acting with them, our
cause becomes their cause, and linked with
their great struggle for free government and
the Constitution, against revolution
pot and des
ism."
These Rebels were locofocos before the
war. There is nothing to prevent them
from being Copperheads now. Neither
they, nor the party, have changed ; and
the assimilation of principle, thought,
and purpose Is complete. Let the two
have job• with each other !
But to what entertainment do these
plotters ask the people T Nothing but a
return of Gish - War. The South Carolina
' • ;belt avow their putpoee, if the Cop
pitheads 'elect their; President, to over

South Carolina about to be established by
the poMdar vote of the whole people of
that State; and they expect aid, in their
treason, 'train the Copperhead Adminis
tration which they hope to see In power

This 1s bold pollcy, and Be avowallit

BUTLER RIDDLES HIM
• Oit Thursday last, the Senate resumed the
trials( thePreakiena the galleries and every.
available seat being occupied. Mr. Curtis I
opened the caselbr the defence in a very elabo
rate argument, occupying the entire afternoon
of Thursday and portions of Friday. It was
mainly a legal argument, cold and impassion
ed, but able and ingeniou •. Dealing with the
legal aspects of the question, it was accepted
as an admission that the President is to be
acquitted, if acquitted at all, on technical
grounds, and not by a rebuttal of the facts
proven by the prosecution. Mr. Curtis took
the ground-Ist, That the tenure of office law
is tmconstitutional ; 2d, That if constitutional
Mr. Stanton's case does not come within its
provisions, because he was appointed by Lin
coln and not by Johnson ; 3d, That if the law
be constitutional and Stanton's case be within
its provisions, the President, believing it un
constitutional and not binding on him, was
not guilty of such "high crime and misde
meanor" as to subject him to impeachment,
in removing Stanton ; 4th, That the President
had a right to test the constitutionality of the
law, by maintaining what he believed to be
his constitutional prerogatives, until some tri
bunal should decide the question.
At the close of Mr. Curtis' argument on Fri
day, ad interim Secretary of War Thomas
was sworn as a witness for the defence. He
testified to his receiving a commission as Sec
retary of War from the President on the 21st
of February, when lie received the order to
take charge of the War Department. The
President said he intended to support the Con
stitution and the laws, and he expected
Thomas to do the same, and he responded
that he would. The interview between him
self and Secretary Stanton, when he demand
ed possession of the books and papers of the
War Department, was then recited, and cor
roborates the testimony of the witnesses for
the prosecution on this question. Mr. Stan
berry then asked the witness what occurred
between himself and the President after Sec
retary Stanton had refused to vacate his office,
and Messrs. Butler and Bingham objected to
his answering, on the ground that when a par
ty is on trial he cannot put in his own expres
sions, after the offence has been committed,
as evidence in his own behalf, and therefore
what the President had said after Mr. Stan
ton had refused to surrender his office, and the
Senate had declared Thomas' appointment il
legal, was not admissable. The Senate, how
ever, determined to admit the evidence and
Thomas resumed hil testimony, and said that
whoa he had made known Mr. Stanton's re
fusal, the President replied, "Very well, you
go and take charge of the office and perform
its duties."
Gen. Butler then took hold of Thomas and
subjected him to a most merciless cross-ex
amination, in which Thomas was made to con
firm the testimony of witnesses for the prosecu
tion as to his threats to "kick Stanton out,"
to "break down the doors of the War Depart
ment," dae.
On Saturday, the examination of Thomas
was resumed, Gen. Butler subjecting again to
the rack and developing the old man's incon
sistencies, contradictions, and weakness to
such a degree as to break the whole force of
his testimony, and causing Butler to charac
terize him before, the Senate "as a weak,
vascillating old man, pampered by a little
pride, and fit to be a tool.
Gen. Sherman was then put on the stand, to
prove conversations with the President and
what the latter declared was his purpose in re
moving sunt.se The Senate, however, ruled
out the testimony. The fact was elicited
that on two occasions, Jan. 5 and Jan. 20,
Johnson tendered the appointment of Secre
tary of War ad interim to Gen. Sherman,
the latter declining. The day was occupied
by argument as to the admisability of declara
tions of the President in his own defence, his
counsel evidently regarding its admission as
vital; but the Senate steadily ruled against its
introduction.
On Monday counsel for defence made re
newed efforts to get in declarations of the
President to Gen. Sherman as to his motives
in removing Stanton, which were steadily
ruled out by the Senate, until finally it was
agreed by one majority to allow Gen. Sher
man to detail what the President said when
he wanted him (Sherman) to take the posi
tion, viz : that he had a right to make the
appointment of, a Secretary ad interim—
that be could not get along with Stanton—
that if Sherman would agree to take the posi
tion and demand the office, Stanton would
yield, being a "coward." General Sherman
couldn't "see it," declined to enter the trap,
and said he would not take the office unless
Stanton would retire quietly, and , even then
reluctantly. The day having been consum
ed by arguments on the questions' raised the
Senate adjourned.
/annum JOHNSON. —A correspondent of the
Indianapolis Alumni has been to a reception
at, the White House, and speaks of Andrew as
follows :
I went up to the White House to-night to a
reception. There was a great attendance—
every room frill. There was an old man with
a face worn by. care, sorrow, dissipation, and
I know not what. Every line spoke of an
unpeaceful life.' He smiled and bowed, and
bowed and smiled, as if all tmconscieu.s of the
lightning that fell Upon him at the Capitol.
I watched the weary thee awfully, and with
all that I bad beard of his outraging the na
tion's pride and debasing himself so foully
still fresh in mind,l still felt more of pity than
of anger for him ! Poor old man p He has
thrown from him the grandest opportunity
that ever man had to make a nation happy and
give himself a place with the great of the
world. He has sown the wind and now must
reap the whirlwind. 117:sleeps in a hard bed
and drinks bitter waters, but he made them so
himself. He has made himself what he is.
God- pity him! Man nor devil could have
iiittdchirn worse.
Those wit o went to-night went from a curios
ity; went to seehim ais they would to see a
beast at bay ; went to-c bplity themselves, and
see who go to receptions. tie Senators and
Congressmen were few ; the constituency
made the many. An old habitue of the re
ception told me four fifths were strangers.
