The Caxdjdate for Governor. I
The sensational reports
of the withdrawal :
of General Hartranft from the State Ticket
have all exploded. And it turus out that
it was nothing more than a desire of the
Democratic loaders, that such a withdraw
al should take place. If tho Republican
press throughout tho State may be taken
as authority, tho opposition to General
Hartranft has never been more formidable,
than it would bo to almost any other can
didate the Republicans might nominate.
The Democrats are opposed to him aud so
would they bo ill auy case.
Any party, if ordinarily wise, will not
neglect to learn of its opponents ; and the
wisdom likely to be gained by observing the
Democracy is the fidelity with which that
party generally cleaves to its standard-bear
ers, in some respects a more oujeclionnule
candidate could not be presented to the
people of Pennsylvania than lie who heads
the Democratic ticket for Governor. His
war record ought to render his election iiu
p issible. On the other hand, the record of
General Hartranft, both in civil nnd mili
tary life, has yet to be impeached either of
dishonesty or of treason. We do not say
that Mr. Ruckalew was guilty of treason,
because that crime has no definitive quau
tity in this country, the Constitution to the
contrary notwithstanding. Rut Mr. Ituck
ulew, about the time that General Hartranft
was risking his lifeiu the field, was secretly
engaged iu counselling with Jacob Thotnp
hun aud other arch rebels in tho interest of
disuuiou. So much seems as certain as the
Tacts or history can well make il. The Tact,
that Mr. Ruckalcw wus counselling with
rebel emissaries during the darVest period
or tho civil war, was not anuou-iced at the
lime. Why? Mr. Greeley d'd not con
ceal the fact of his relations w ith Jacob
Thompson), George Sanders, and others,
on the sit mo occasion ; why should Mr.
Ruckalew have hidden his share in that
miserable business ? Mr. Ruckalew is sim
ply a politician, and, save a ghjVt. crotchet,
' a partisan politicUMi tit that. The people
have to choose between him MiJ General
Hartranft. In choosing they csinnol ignore
tho part these men played in tho war for
national existence respectively. Wc do not
state the case too strongly when we say
that unman who held secret communica
tion with rebel emissaries during any peri
od of tiio war is fit to occupy tho executive
chair of llii Commonwealth. Tho people,
ive presume, will take a similar view of the
matter.
' Oi n ueighbor of tho Democrat is endea
voring to draw the wool over the eyes of
Ins readers as to the Republican victory in
North Carolina ,by asking us to give our "la

Party Degradation .jxu Shame.
Tho following article from, the Shamokin

were not mistaken last Taljl ns rtruds Tat

is published in the Uiiinediato vicinity
where the plot was laid to seize tho offices
and prostitute the laws' and is iu possession
of all the facts, wo therefore copy the arti
cle entire : . '
"The sad fateof Pat Hester aud Michael
Gallagher is a warning to all ruffians that
bold and defYanl crime may for a lime go
unpunished, but in the wise and inscruta
ble ways of Providence, their sius and mur
ders will at least speak out.
Pat. Hester, believed by all to bo cover
ed and blackened with the guill of repeated
iiiui'Ueis, assumed a bold aud deliaut ulli
liule, aud weilding power over iguorant
votes-, forced politicians to favor him. court
him aud make him their compauioti aud
friend. The degradation and subserviency
of party had a most abhorrent illustration
iu his elevation to u poailiou on the Cen
tral Democratic County Comn ittec, tit
Sunbury ; iu the encouragement and
pledges to his audacious asperations to the
office or High Sheriff of the county, and u
his pcrsoual intimacy with an unfortunate
lX'inotraiic candidate for President Judge.
Ii was believed that the party decree was
well nigh matured to announce him as the
next candidate for High Sheriff, aud he, in
anticipation oi the high honor, undertook
to i" ".ue his decree aud aunouuee who should
be the next President Judge, and so iu Mt.
Canncl township decided the county dele
gate majority iu favor of his fuvorits judge.
If the whole people, without regard to
party, had not riseiijiip at last fall's election
sua deteatcd 1 at. Hester and Ins party as
sociates, we would now have had the mur
derer and rulliau to rule over us aud a judge

.Slieriif, and murderers uud ruffians now in
the State's Prisou, they would have so for

would have becu driven from this part of
tho county.
What base degradation aud prostitution
of party to elevate such a ruuitiu to power,
aud to place iu hit hands tho high official

so frightened the negroes in the streets that

Soon after the same official arrested another
negro on the affidavit or Yarborough, his

one years of age. His mjjlier, who was in
Yancey villo 'yesterday, says ho is in his
twenty-fourth year. "Roth these meu were
lodged in jail, but the former has been lib
erated on giving 100 bail.
At Yanceyville, William Lt'ith, colored,
reported that the white judgcof election in
sisted on the colored voters putting their
ballots in the boxes themselves, instead of
giving them to the inspectors to deposit ;
nnd when he was directing them how to do
it, James Williamson tiiieatencd to put
him in the Penitentiary. Rallots deposited
in the wrong box are not counted. Geo.
W. Bowo stated to tbe meeting that ho
knew seven residents of Yanceyville who
were not allowed to vote.
There was a rumor from I.eesburg that
thirty men omitted to vote. They were
driven from the polls because they had
been working in Virginia, a few miles off,
but positive information could not be ob
tained on that point.
In Dan River township over forty Re
publicans were kept from tho polls by the
removal of a boat from one bauk of the
river to the other, and there securing nnd
locking it up. JSot one of them could get

OltAcjainst Gueelky. Gen. Dix,
one of our most eminent patriots and states
men, having been claimed for Greeley, has
written a letter giving many reasons why
he cannot support him, among which are
these
Because I blelievc him to be as "unstable
as water," perfectually floundering (to car
ry out the scriptural figure) amid the surges
of opinion, and deficient in all the requisites
essential to a firm, steady and consis
tent administration of the government.
Rccausche has usually been found among
the most extreme ultraists on the great
questions of political and social duly which
have bceu brought under public discussion
during tho last quarter of a century.
Because he is associated, iu relations
more or less intimate, with some of the
chief plunderers of the city of New York,
justly warranting the apprehension that
through his complicity or his facile disposi
tion the same system or fraud and corrup
tion which has disgraced the municipal
govcrnmeul of this city may bo carried to
more infamous extremes in the administra
tion of the federal government ; aud,
Becausu iu the darkest hour of the coun
try's peril, when a traitorous combination
had been formed to overthrow tho govern
ment, he openly counseled tho cowardly
policy of uou-resistnnce aud acquiescence
iu the dissolution of the L'uion, whenever
the. Cotton States should makeup their
minds to go.
The coalition which has been formed to
promote his election is one of the most ex
traordinary in the history of parties, in re
spect both to the discordant elements it
embraces and the surrender of principles il
involves.
The Democratic Convention at Baltimore
endorsed and commended him to the sun-
port of their party not as the expouent of
any principles tiiey nave prolessed, or auy
measures they have advocated, but as a
known aud bitter opponent of both-the man
who, perhaps, ol all others has been the
most malignant of the democracy, impeach
ing its integrity, traducing its motives and
villifying its character.
The adoption of such a man as their can
didate lor tho Chief Magistracy of tho
Union is the most conspicuous abandon
ment of political principles knowu to party
contests.
It remains to be seen whether the great
body of the democratic voters, and the true
fricuds of reform, can be made parties to
tins unscrupulous coa.ition between poliu
cut leaders.
The editor of the Watsoutown Record
displayed a wood-cut iu his columns last
week, indicating a tremendous "smasl
up" in North Carolina- Tho sad catns
trophe of tho Democracy iu that State
must make the editor feel sad indeed
The figure repteseuting the "smash up'
remiuded us of a similar occurrence to the

ed Charles R. Buckalew, with having he'd
nielli arm ireasoabie conterence with rebels
in Canada, whose ouly business was to in
cite civil war iu our midst, to destroy tho
property of our non-combatant citizens,
and to introduce loathsomo and pestilential
diseases into our cities, for the indiscrimi
nate slaughter of men, women and children,
and the aged and infirm. Wc have based
this charge on incontestiblo official papers
of the rebel government. Tbe repoit of
Jacob Thompson to Judah P. BenjatRin
distinctly avows tho objects for whjeu' he,
Clay and Holcombe were in"Canada.
These objects were all treajjehable for a
Northern man to engagtrln, and some of
them wero too horro for au average
murderer. That these objects were well
known to many "master spirits" of the de
mocratic Jjjirty in tho North is made mani
fest by ti,0 official reports of the rebel emis
?a!'!es and incendiaries. That many lead
ing democrats sped to Canada to couuscl
and promote the horrible purposes of
Thompson, Clay and Holcombe is as clear
as the noonday sun. And thut Clarles
R. Buckelew teas one of Vuse traitors is
fully proved I
The attempts made by Ucmocratie news
papers to parry this charge have been so
puerile that even their editors are ashamed
of them. . In dismay at the unexpected ns
sault they have denied the authenticity of
tho rebel archives, and no ndmit Iheu
genuineness. They explain Buckalow's
presence in Canada by assorting that he
visited that country to ext"i"o into its In
dian policy, nnd that he did this as a mem
ber of the United States Senate. And at
last the defenco has touched the limit of
grotcsquencss. Now an attempt is made
to show that Holcombe only says he 'saw'
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, and it is
t't'Miiphantly as?""""1 ,tlltl' 'leTTu!d u,Ht

llorae Ureeley' Bargain..
Pledges Given to Restore the Late
s Rebels to Power. His Administra
tion to be Devoted to Their Inter
ests, Lopisville, Ky., August 9. Tho fol
lowing are Gen. Hodge's exact words at
tho Greeley meeting in Lexington, on the
2dult. :
"I have devoted a lifetime to the princi
ples of the Democratic party. I have grown
gray in the advocacy or those principles,
and each year the conviction has gron
deeper that its fundamental principles nre
the true foundation stones for this Govern
ment. I have seen upon tlie battlefield
thousands throw away their lives in defence
or these principles. Tha graves of tho gsl
lant Southern dead who sleep upon every
hill-side iu the South, over whose graves
the night winds sigh, are reminders to me
of the love for these principles which still
lingers in my heart. The second passage
in Mr. Grcclev's letter means that John C.
Breckinridge and other chivalrous sons of
tno noutu ahnii bo restored to their lormer
positions of power and influence. Looking
back upon the once shattered and fruitless
hopes or the South, 1 now sco that equal
rights and sovereignty or the States LH be
restored, and my comrades of the ost cause
have not died iu vain. This will be a victory
for that for which they fought. Mr. Gree
ley promised to do all he could to aid us
when e get a majority in Conyresi. I ob
ject to Grant because he is a Republican;
because he is a momberof that party which
waged successrully to contest against my
brethren or the South, whose orators kept
the fires burning that filed the Federal
ranks wilh soldiers. I have hoard il said
by some Hint l Democratic party shall
have no part with Mr. Greeley in tho con
sequent ; but I feel that they will not bo
neglected. Not only will Greeley not Tor
get who has helped him to his position, but
pledges direct pledges have been given
us by 111 .it that wc shall not be forgotten in
case of success."
Hodge is an elector for the state at large.
Col. U. C. P. Bteckcnridgu said at the same
tneetinir :
"Our part of the bargain is to give the!
Liberal Republicans our votes, in order to '
enable them to succeed in tho undertaking. !
Their part of the bargaiu is to restore to ,
power tho now disfranchised sons of the j
South, to drive out of the temple these van- j
dais and thieves, and to restore you, Dem
ocrats, to their positions. They are to give
you, r 'm of tho South those places which
the men or the dominant party now hold.
1 don't care a picayune tor Horace Greeley,
or what he has said. He represents the
dawn or a now era to us, an era that will
restore us to power. ) ill that not bo vic
tory enough for us V It may be, in words a
friend from Woodford, Blackburn, that
"Greeley is purgatory, but Grant is hell."
The election of Greeley also means that the
Federal soldiers, who now stand as a per
petual menace over the South, shall bo re
moved. 1 am tiled of seeing them here.
They have no business here. This is not
the place Tor them. 1 don't want to vote
any longer uuder tho shadow or bayonets.

Here are a few of Greeley's opinions of
the Democrats, which we publish for the
interest of his Democratic supporters :
Three-fourths of the Democratic Journals
we opeu would bo read with delight in Lee's
camps by all who can read at all. Tribune,
August 1(5, 1S04.
The Democratic party, by the outright
rebellion or hair its members aud the aid
and comfort given thereto by most or the
residents, has brought the country to the
brink or ruin. Tribune, August 18, 1804.
The Southern traitors meant war or dis
union ; his Northern sympathizer mean
power or war. Tribune, August 25, 1804.
Not all the Democrats pointing their
murditrous weapons at the Hag or their
country and the breasts or her defenders,
were Southerners. 1'ribv.ne, -liijiit 31,
1804.
Did you ever hear a Copperhead rejoice
heartily over our great victories, Yicksburg,
Cbattauooga, Mobile V Tribune, September
3, 1S04.
The Democrats have no hope of getting
power except by the success of the rebell
iou 2Vi6mie, Sept. 5, 1804.
Unionists, please stop those guns that
are sounding over the land in rejoicing for
the glorious achievements of Farragut and
Sherman. Just stop firing awhile, the
Copperheads want to howl. Tribune, Sej)
lembcr 7, 1804.
Tho city election in Louisville, Ky., on
Monday, is suggestive. The lKtinocratic
aud Liberal (Sorehead) ticket was beaten
by several thousands. Tho city has hcre-
tolore been very heavy Democratic. Ihis
looks bad for the corrupt combination for
spoils completed at Cincinnati aud Haiti
more. Tho people of this county always
have refused to be sold out and traded
around by huckstering politicians, and
they will probably continue to refuse to bo
sold " like sheep in the shambles."
Col. John Buchanau, a lcadiug Democrat of
Greene county, is President of the Grant Club at
VVaynesburg.
Alderman Win. McMullen, who wus (hot In
1'hlludclphla by Mara, Is on the streets again.
Mara hat not been arrested.
The Norrlstown IMtndtr, Democratic paper of
Moutgomery couuty says "The voice of the
steadfast Democracy of Montgomery -is raised iu
denunciation of the outrage perpetrated by the
convention nt Baltimore, They nevei can aud
never will subscribe to that abjuration." And
thus are honest Democrats eutering their protest
against the corrupt bargaiu aud sale vf un
principled seekers after office.
In North-Carolina Judge Settle was de
feated for Congress by only 242 votes, where
two years ago Leech, his competitor, had
1300 majority. As tho Judge believes that
bo was cheated out of his election, he will
contest the seat.
Tbe next election to take place is that of
West Virginia, where the cauvass has com
menced in earnest. Owing to the enfran
chisement of the rebels there, the Slate has
gone against tho Hepublicaus for two or
three years; but there is said to be a fair
chance now of restoring her to the folds of
loyally and the Republican party.
Verb. Sap. "It's my opinion, Jimmy,
that Grayley has his eve ol the prisidintial
cheer." "Will, thiu, Mickey, it's my opin
ion he'd belter, be taking it off, or Grant
will be aflhcr sitting down on it."
