IiOVF.KVORK HESSAta..
We publish on our outside, a con
densed report of the message of Gov.
Geary. It is a very lengthy document
and contains much matter that does
not properly belong to a paper of this
sort. We do not propose to review it
at length, but merely to refer to some
of its salient points.
The Governor is quite severe upon
the last Legislature. He says that it
passed "certain bills in which large
numbers of citizens were deeply inter
ested, the responsibility for which, af
ter the adjournment, but few members
could be found willing to assume, or
even to admit any knowledge of their
passage." What a reflection upon his
own party friends who had almost two
thirds of that body! But the Govern
or forgets to state that he signed some
of those bills and that they are now
laws of the land. If they were wrong,
why did he not stop them with his ve
to?
Again, His Excellency informs us
that "it was a matter of common no
toriety at the last session that a num
ber of subordinate officers, in both
branches of the Assembly, were ap
pointed, to whom liberal salaries were
paid, and who were never seen at their
designated posts, and rendered no ser
vice to the State." Here is an open
confession that the Radical Legislature
of last year, permitted its party friends
to steal from the public treasury ! We
frequently charged this upon them,
but our asseverations were set down as
"copperhead lies." Now, that Govern
or Geary admits their truth, we hope
our "Republican" friends will give the
subject some reflection. It is a pity that
the Governor could not have made
some mention of this matter in his
proclamation concerning the supposed
reduction of the State debt, issued just
before the last election.
The Governor pitches into the Antie
tam Cemetery Association with terri
ble vim. Because, forsooth, some of
the "rebel dead" are to !>e interred
within the enclosure of this Cemetery,
he will have nothing to do with it. Is
the man afraid of ghosts ? Does he
fear that the bones of the dead South
rons will rise from their graves, and
under the banner of the "lost cause,"
march across the border and burn
Chambersburg, or bombard the Execu
tive Mansion ? He must believe in
witches. Shame on him! Such re
lentless malignity as prompted this part
of his message is a disgrace to the char
acter of a Christian gentleman, and
could scarcely be found in the breast of
a digger Indian. But it is just like
Geary. He always preferred to fight
dead men.
"National affairs," also, occupy a
place in the message. His Excellency
evidently imagined himself in the
President's seat, at Washington, when
he (that is, his Attorney General) wrote
this part of the document. His lucu
brations in this regard, are only a re
hash of the thread-bare stuff that usually
composes Radical talk on "Reconstruc
tion." Nesutor ultra crepidam.
One thing, however, the Governor
says nothing about — Temperance !
What has become of the Temperance
Cause, Bro. Templar Geary ? Have
you not a single word to bestow upon
this all-important subject ? What! al
ready weary in well doing? You talk
about "gas," and "history," and "agri
culture," and "grave-yards," and "tax
es," and "insurance" and "penitenti
aries," and "fish," subjects that are so
dry that they naturally suggest some
thing to drink, and after thus placing
temptation in the reader's way, you
don'teven hinttohim not"toindulge!"
But, we forgot. His Excellency has,
doubtless, reserved his temperance
thunder, until that committee, of which
J. Cessna, of Bedford, is chairman,
shall report that "Prohibitory Liquor
Bill" which it was appointed to draft.
Until then let us possess our souls in
patience.
A SKCRHT ORGANIZATION known
as the "Grand Army of the Republic,"
which is made up of boss politicians,
sutlers and camp-followers, is now en
gaged in nominating Gen. Grant for
the Presidency. We suggest that
they take Lee, or Johnston, or some
other rebel general whom Grant got
President Johnson to pardon, as their
candidate for Vice President. As
the redoubtable Radicals appear to be
ready to swallow any quantity of con
servative dirt, they certainly could not
object to a pardoned rebel, especially
If Grant had him pardoned.
MILLIONS to run the Bones and
Banjo Conventions of the Negroized
States, voted out of the pockets of the
people by Congress. Such is Radical
ism.
R AST OA A XE6RO SI*FF*A*HE PI.AT
FORH.
On Wednesday of last week, a Con
vention of soldiers, styling themselves
the "Boys in Blue," met in Philadel
phia, for tin' purpose of nominating
Gen. Grant for President. The dele
gates present were all "Bopublicans,"
most of them local politicians. Lemuel
Todd, of Cumberland county, a notori
ous abolitionist, who saw but little, if
any thing, of the army during the war,
wasthe leading spirit oft he assemblage.
! On his motion the following resolution
! was adopted:
Resolved , That we, the representatives
of the soldiers and sailors of the State
of Pennsylvania, in convention assem
bled, having full confidence in the wis
dom and loyalty of Congress, and
heartily approving its theory and plan of
reconstructing the disloyal States , as the
only means of securing the rights of
the' loyal citizens thereof: and fully
recognizing the patriotism, integrity
and services of General IT. S. Grant,
and accepting his actions and utter
ances as proof of a full accord with the
principles and measures which, under
his lead, triumphed over treason and
rebellion, and upheld the just and
loyal powers of the government, do
hereby nominate him for President of
these United States.
It will be observed that this resolu
tion places its nominee upon a plat
form endorsing the "Reconstruction"
policy of Congress, that is, Negro Suff
rage and Negro Supremacy. We shall
see whether Lem. Todd's convention
will be sufficiently powerful to pull
the wool over the eyes of the white
soldiers of the country. Grant on a
Negro Suffrage platform, will never
be swallowed by the soldiers of Penn
sylvania. It is an insult to them to
suppose that they can be caught in
this manner. The very idea of the
nomination of Grant, is a bait to entrap
soldiers into the dead-fall of Negro
Suffrage. The conservative soldiers of
Pennsylvania will oppose any man and
all men, Grant included, who are in any
way connected with the scheme of
Negroizing the government. This
Convention, which thus undertakes
to represent the wishes of the soldiers
of Pennsylvania, should be rebuked
by the thousands of veterans who dis
approve its course. We hope that
such soldiers as Gen. McCalmont, of
Venango, Gens. McCandless, Lyle, Bal
lier, and Sipes, of Philadelphia, and
Gen. Sweitzer, of Pittsburg, Gen.
Dana, of Luzerne, Gen. Davis, of Bucks,
Gen. Knipe, of Harrisburg, men who
fought and suffered for their country,
will call a Convention to express the
true feeling of the Pennsylvania sol
diers in regard to the "Reconstruc
tion" policy of Congress.
A S>TO AKRA\CiK.HK\T.
From the Gettysburg Star, we copy
the following item which will perhaps,
be of interest to certain democratic
politicians of this district. If the
gentlemen in the "ring" can manage
their respective counties, they will be
able to control the democratic nomina
tion for Congress, to the disappoint
ment, not only of George A. Smith,
Esq., of Fulton county, but also of the
Hons. F. M. Kimmel, of Franklin,
and A. H. Cofl'roth of this county,
both of whom we are told are aspirants
for that position.
"We understand that a 'ring' has
been formed to effect the election .of
William A. Wallace as 31 r. Buckalew's
successor in the U. 8. Senate, in case of
Copperhead ascendency next year.—
The same ring propose to make B. F.
Meyers, of Bedford, Chairman of the
State Committee next year. This is
to soothe him for the defeat of his hope
of being their candidate for Congress
in this district—which is to be given to
William McSherry, Esq., of this
county, although George A. Smith,
Esq., of Fulton, will press for the nomi
nation on the ground that Fulton, one
of the steadiest Copperhead counties in
t he District, has been overlooked so long.
Franklin county is to supply their can
didate for State Senate in'the person
of Calvin M. Duncan, Esq., who was
defeated three years ago. He hopes to
have better luck this time.
"If you want news concerning your
household, go away from home." Of
this proverb the above article which
we find in the Somerset Herald of last
week, is a capital illustration. The
"ring" which is to make us chairman
of the State Committee must have
taken our radical friends, MePherson
and Scull, into its confidence, rather
than ourself upon whom its favors are
to be bestowed ; for, before we read the
article printed above, we were in bliss
ful ignorance of the existence of so gen
erous and discriminating a body as the
"ring" aforesaid. But, we suspect
that these gentlemen, (the editors of
the Gettysburg Star and the Somerset
Herald) really desire our advancement,
and in their anxiety to assist us, have
drawn slightly upon their imagination.
We are, of course, obliged to them for
"bringing us out" asacandidate for Con
gress, especially, as, in ease of our losing
the nomination, weareto be "soothed"
with the chairmanship of the State
Committee But, lest our radical
friends should become too much con
cerned for our success, we will say
right here, that we have nothing to do
with any "ring," clique, or combina
tion, in regard to the nomination for
Congress; we are for the man who
can give your radical candidate the
soundest drubbing, and, above all, we
are for no man who needs any "sooth
ing" after the nomination. Gentle
men, don't fret your gizzards! By the
time you fill the hungry maws of your
own ottice-seekers in this Congressional
district (John Cessna et at.) you will be
glad to drop the subject.
THE ElnTn OF JAJri'ARY.
In many of the larger cities, the an
niversary of Jackson's victory at New
Orleans, has just been celebrate*!, in I
every case by Democrats. The party
which uphohls the Congressional cen
tralize*! despotism at Washington, has!
no relish for the commemoration of the.
deeds and doctrines of Old Hickory. I
"Oh! no, they never mention" him.
But the I temocracy, cli ngi ng to the prin
ciples which overthrew the monster
U. S. Bank (the grand-parent of the
National Banks and untaxed bonds of
the present day ) and remembering with
respect and gratitude, the services ren
dered the country by the hero of New
Orleans, take pride and pleasure in
holding up to remembrance the name
of Andrew Jackson. Accordingly,
from year to year, it is the custom of
Democrats to meet together on the Bth
of January, to celebrate the day with
appropriate patriotic ceremonies. Pur
suant to this custom, a dinner was
given at the Metropolitan Hotel, in
Washington, on Wednesday of last
week, at which many of the distin
guished men of the country were pre
sent, President Johnson among the
number. Speeches were made by Lx-
Chief Justice Black, Attorney General
Stanbery, Senator Doolittlo and others,
and letters read from Francis P. Blair,
Sr., Secretaries Seward and McCulloch,
Ex-Gov. W. Bigler, and many others.
The speech of Judge Black was very
able and forcible. We shall lay it be
fore our readers as soon as we can find
space. Attorney General Stanbery
made a most interesting and effective
address, stating, during the course of
his remarks, that the Reconstruction
Bills are unconstitutional and null and
void, from beginning to end. We shall
print the Attorney General's speech
hereafter. The whole affair passed off
very pleasantly, and will have a deci
dedly beneficial effect upon the politics
of the country.
THE Rads are contesting the seat of
Senator Shugert, of the Centre district,
on the ground that "Deserters" voted
for him. They know that the Su
preme Court has decided that no man
can be lawfully deprived of his right
to vote, as a "Deserter," unless he shall
have been tried, convicted, and sen
tenced to disfranchisement, by a prop
er tribunal. Vet they presume to
take the law into their own hands, in
order to oust Mr. Shugert and give his
seat to one of their own party. John
Cessna, of this place, is engaged in the
dirty work of trying to chisel. Mr.
Shugert out of his seat. lie came
home the other day, and was scarcely
out of the coach until he proclaimed
upon the street that he had "got the
kind of committee to suit him." We
want the gentlemen composing that
committee to know that Cessna thinks
he carries them in his breeches-pock
ets.
IT is said that the constitutionality
of the Reconstruction Acts, is about to
be tested before the U. S. Supreme
Court. There are several cases before
that tribunal, which will bring up the
issue. On Friday last, Judge Black,
who is counsel for the complainant in
exparte McCardle (one of these cases)
moved the Court to lix a day for a
hearing in that case. The matter was
deferred until the government could
obtain counsel, Attorney General
Stanbery declining to appear, he hav
ing written opinions on the other
side (that the Reconstruction Acts are
unconstitutional and null and void.)
May the God of Justice speed the
righteous decision which will strike
these infamous measure;? from the
statute book!
"There was no government in the
world denying the people the right of
a voice in the formation of the laws,
which should not be overthrown by
revolution. The right of sutfrage be
longs properly to all men, no matter of
what color, black or white."
The above is taken from the re
port of a speech made in Lem. Todd's
"Boys in Blue" Convention, which
nominated Gen. Grant for President,
at Philadelphia, the other day. A fel
low by the name of Hutchinson, from
Centre County, gave vent to this re
mark, and was cheered to the echo for
so doing. The White Boys in Jilue will
please "stick a pin there." Do they
agree with Todd, Hutchinson and Co.,
whose candidate Grant is, that the right
of suffrage belongs properly to all men,
no matterof what color, black or white ?
GEN. GRANT has become the candi
date of the bond-holders and the Bones
and Banjo Reconstruction party. In his
person will be represented the exemp
tion of favored classes from taxation
and the Radical conspiracy to overthrow
white supremacy in the South. Cannot
Democratic editors see this, and cease
talking about Grant being "at outs with
Ben Wade," and about his not inten
ding to run for President? Grant
will accept the Radical nomination,
or any other nomination he eau get. —
He has Presidency on the brain, and
can't open his mouth on account of
t.
FIRST OR* FOR IMS.
The borough of Columbia, Lancaster
county, hits heretofore been intensely
Radical. Rut the other day the Dem
ocrats turned the tables upon their op
ponents and carried their ticket by a
handsome majority. This is a hopeful
sign and shows that the great political
revolution which is now sweeping over
the country, has reached even the
stronghold of the King of the Radicals,
the home of Old Thad. himself.
ANOTHER <il \!
An election was held in California, a
few days ago, to till the vacancy occas
ioned by the death of a member of the
State Senate. The deceased Senator
was a Republican. A Democrat was
elected to fill his place. The Golden
State continues her adhesion to Demo
cracy.
THE Democratic State Convention
for the State of Ohio, met at Columbus
on the Bth inst., elected delegates at
large to the Democratic National Con
vention, and instructed the Ohio dele
gation to that Convention, to vote as
a unit for GEORGE 11. PENDLETON
for President. Resolutions recommen
ding the substitution of legal tender
greenbacks for the National Bank
Notes, (thus redeeming the bonds de
posited for the security of those Banks)
and the taxation of U. S. bonds, were
unanimously adopted. Mr. Pendleton
is very popular in the West, on account
of his position on the financial ques
tion.
RICHMOND, Jan. 10.—The military
officer, sent to Halifax, two weeks ago,
to quell apprehended disturbances, re
ports to headquarters that evidence of
a Negro military organization was
found. George Coleman, one of its offi
cers, was arrested.
We find the above among the Associ
ated Press dispatches printed in that
immaculately loyal sheet, the Philadel
phia Inquirer. The Negroes of the
South are banded together in a secret
armed league, for the purpose of over
throwing the ascendency of the whites
and seizing the lands which the Radi
cal missionaries have promised them.
One of the beauties of Congressional
"Reconstruction."
Many of the coffins of soldiers, bur
ied by contract at St. Louis, have been
found filled with sticks and stones.
The bodies were doubtless sold by the
contractors for anatomical purposes.—

even to the selling of the flesh and
bones of dead soldiers. Horrible, but
true!
E. W. DAVIS,a notorious "rooster,"
has been elected speaker of the House
of Representatives at Harrisburg.—
Nine Radical members, among them
Mr. Richards, of this district, stood out
against him for several days, but final

What call you this, you fellows that

Mumbo-Jumbo "Reconstruction" plat
form? Is it rebellion, or is it loyalty?

II ARRIS BURG, Jan. 11, 18(58.
MR. EDITOR: -On Tuesday last, both !
houses of the legislature assembled, and ;
the Senate at once organized by the e
leetion of Mr. Graham, of Allegheny, j
as speaker, and G. W. Hamersly, of!
Philadelphia, as Chief Clerk. The
House, however, upon an attempt to
effect an organization, found itself at a
dead lock, nine of the Radical mem
bers refusing to support the caucus
nominee, Mr. E. W. Davis, of Phila
delphia. The dtticulty arose from the
fact that Mr. Davis' past record is very
bad on the railroad question, behaving
invariably i*>ted'for the measures of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
and having figured conspicuously and
not very creditably, in the well-known
Tonnage Tax investigation. The Rein-;
oerats voted for R. L. Jones, Esq., ofj
Berks, a young man of much promise
and entirely sound on the Free Rail-!
Road Law question. For twenty-five j
ballots the vote stood, for R. L. Jones,
45, for E. W. Davis, 45, and fi scatter
ing. On yesterday, however, eight of
the "bolters" cast their votes for Mr.
Davis, and lie- was elected, receiving
50 votes to Mr. Jones' 43. Mr Riddle,
of Allegheny, voted for Mr. Wilson,
refusing to the last to vote for Davis.
Among the original "bolters" were
Mr. J. T. Richards, of your district, Mr.
Wharton, of Huntingdon and Mr. Mc-
Camant of Blair. These bolters pub
lished a card, a few days ago, in justi
fication of their action, which I give
you in full:
HARRISBURG, January 8.
Editors of the State Guard.—Gentle
men : Our attention has been called to
an article in the State Guard of this
day, reflecting severely on the position
and motives of those ot us who feel it
to he our duty to withhold our support
from the Hon. Elisha W. Davis, as a
candidate for Speaker of the House of
Representatives. Permit us to state
that we are not disorganizes, but have
at heart the success and welfare of the
Republican party. We have voted
anil acted with that organization ever
since it had an existence, and we in
tend to do so in the future, except when
an attempt is made to inflict a great
wrong upon the party. This we be
lieve is now being done by some gen
tlemen who desire to see Mr. Davis e
lected Speaker, and who are and have
been freely applying to ns the epithets
of disorganizes and malcontents. In
the faithful discharge of our duty to an
honest and incorruptible constituency,
we have taken this stand, assured that
when the time arrives for us to lay he
fore the world our reasons at large for
our action, it will meet with the ap
probation of every honest and true Re
publican in the State. Signed: A
Armstrong, David L. Smith, John T.
Richards, George R. Riddle, J. Boyd,
Espy, Samuel McCamant, H. S. Whar
ton, members of the House of Repre
sentatives.
Notwithstanding "the great wrong
that was about to he inflicted upon the
party," in the election of Mr. Davis,
Mr. Richards and the rest of the gen
tlemen who made this declaration, were
induced to assist in his election. In a
subsequent card, they say that they did
so, because Mr. Davis gave them "pledg
es" and "assurances," but what the
character of those "pledges" and "as
surances," is, we are not informed. Sic

In the Senate the seat of S. T. Shu
gert, one of the Senators from the Cen
tre district, is contested, on the ground
that he was elected by the votes of "De
serters." Mr. Shugert is a Democrat.
Your man, little John Cessna, was here
as one of the counsel for the contestant.
The kind of work to be done in this
case, suits John's taste and character
exactly.

ADDKESS TO THE NERVOUS AND DE
BILITATED whole sufferings have been protracted
from hideous causes, and whose cases require
prompt treatment to render existence desirable.
If you are suffering or have suffered from involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilita
ted, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion pro
duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or
urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out
of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or
flocky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at 'he bottom
after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of
short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels
constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im
paired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon
this subject ? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life ' Do you wish to be left
alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit
tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep
broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as
brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright?
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy ? Do
you feel as much .confidence in yourself ? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel

weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe

complaint?
Now., reader, self-abuse, vonereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro
ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The
organs of generation, when in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect he Ith ? You never hear such
men complain of being melancholy, of nervous
ness, of palpitation of the heart. They are nev

don't become sad and discouraged ; they are al
ways polite and pleasant in the company of ladies,
a nit look you and them right in the face—none ot
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
inflamed by running to excess. These will not
only ruin their constitutions, but also tho:e they do
business with or for.
How many men from badly-cured diseases, from
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought
about that state of weakness in those organs that
has reduced the general system so much as to in
duce almost every other disease —idiocy, lunacy,
paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost
every other form of disease which humanity is heir
to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er suspected, and have doctored for all but the
right one.

FACTS.
That we have unequalled facilities for conduct
ing business to the advantage both of ourselves
and patrons, we submit the following TRUTHS—
weII known as such to the entire business commu
nity.
Ist. We have abundant cash capital, therefore—
2d. We are enabled to Buy for Cask exclusive
ly, consequently at the lowest possible prices,
with the markets of the entire world to select
from.
3d. In this particular WE HAVE ADVANTAGES
shared by no other house in qur business.
4th. We sell for cash exclusively—therefore at
the lowest possible prices—having no losses
incurred by selling on credit, to provide for.
stb. We have a business experience of a quarter
of a century, having been longer established
than any house in our trade in Philadelphia.
6th. Our business is thoroughly systematized, the
result of long experience, which has taught
us what the wants of the public are, and how
best to meet them.
7th. We employ the best talent in all departments,
our garments are therefore unsurpassed in
style, fit and workmanship.
Bth. Our business is large and constantly, increas
ing, enabling us to keep at all times the lar
gest, best assorted, and most complete stock
of MEN'S, YOUTHS', and BOYS' CLOTH
ING in Philadelphia, to which large daily
additions are made of fresh goods, replacing
those sold.
9th. For reasons already enumerated we can, and
do sell clothing in every respect superior—
surpassed by none, equalled by few —at pri
ces guaranteed in all cases lower than the
the lowest elsewhere, or the salecancelled and
money refunded.
10th. If buyers should for any cause become dissat
isfied after a purchase is made, if reported
within a reasonable time,we pledge ourselves,
by exchange, refunding of money, or other
wise, to give full satisfaction in every case,
and request that all such may be reported to us
for adjustment.
CARD. —Our stock of Fall and Winter Clothing
is full and complete, and selling rapidly, but is as
rapidly replenished each day with fresh and desi
rable styles of new goods, pujhased recently, for
cash, at great sacrifices, enabling us to sell at pri
ces lower than have been known for years. Con
gratulating our patrons upon the decline of prices,
which enables us to offer superior garments at such
low rates, we request the favor of a call.

can doubt who examines the operations of the
Waltham establishment, for it turns out watch
movements at just abont one-half the cost of im
ported movements —beside the uniform reliability
of the machine-made watches must give them a
great advantage over all others wherever known.
A poor timo-piece of the machine inake will be as
rare in the future as a good one of hand make has
been heretofore for machinery is arbitrary in its
performance, and can make a perfect article just
as easy as one that is worthless. It will be a
cause of congratulation if this highly useful A
merican Enterprise shall have the effect ot driv
ing out of market the thousands of trashy foreign
articles miscalled timekeepers, by furnishing so
excellent and economical a substitute. —JV 1 .

"We have had one of the works of this Company
in a case for some considerable time, and compar
ing them with former first-class works of different
manufacture possessed by us, they have estab
lished in our opinion their superiority over any
ever introduced for correctness as time pieces."—
The World.
"We notice with regret (writing of the Paris
Exposition) the absence of specimens of American
manufacture, which, although only compara
tively of recent birth among us, is already pro
ducing results of the most satisfactory character.
The watches manufactured by the Waltham Com
pany are certainly, so far as strength, durability,
and excellence as time-keepers are concerned, as
good as anything produced by the French or Swiss
manufacturers." — N. Y. Herald.
"The beauty, the precision, the greater cheap
ness, the uniform excellence of a watch construc
ted by machinery so exquisite that the mere
spectacle of its operation is poetic, gradually
give the American Watches a public preference
which will not be deceived." — Harpers' Weekly.
