The representatives of tlie Democrats of the several election districts of this county, assembled at the Court House, in this place, on Monday last, and transacted the business entrusted to them with fidelity to their constituents and in perfect harmony. The nomi nations for county officers are excel lent, and will be endorsed at the polls by an overwhelming majority. The choice of the Convention for Addition al Law Judge and Memlier of the Leg islature, fell upon worthy gentlemen, who, if nominated and elected, will till those offices with credit to themselves and honor to those by whose suffrages they will be chosen. As to the choice of the Convention for Congress, our modesty forbids us to speak. We return our thanks for the unsolicited honor conferred upon us, and especially will we always hold in kindly remembrance the friends who thought it well to propose and urge our nomination. Whatever betide, we shall do "our level best" for the ticket, believing most sincerely that the success of the Democracy in the coming contest, is of far greater impor tance than the advancement of any individual. And now we call upon the Democrats throughout the county to organize. Form clubs and meet to gether in council. There never was a more auspicious time than the present, for successful work 011 the part of the Democracy. See that your voters are properly registered. See that foreign born citizens have their naturalization papers. See that Democratic docu ments are distributed among the peo ple. Men of the Democracy! In this life and death struggle between civil liberty and military despotism, will you, can you, be lukewarm, or idle? Do you not -ee the strides the pary in power is making, day by day, toward centralized absolutism? Do you not perceive and understand the infamous purpose of that party in placing the ballot in the hands of 000,(KM half sav age negroes to be driven to the polls at the point of the bayonet? Hereaf ter, if Grant should be elected, the bal ance of power in Ihe government, it to be in the hands of the African ! Will you not strain every nerve, will you not work day and night, will you not swear by your altars and your fires, to avert the awful danger that hangs like a thunder-cloud above your devot edcountry? Yes! we hear you answer, Yes ! we will! Forward, for the ltight! TIIK BAI.AWE OF POWER. The Chicago Platform, endorsed by Gen. Grant, declares that Negro Suit rage must l>e maintained in the South ern States, and upon this doctrine the Radicals ask the people to support (jrant for President. Now the States which have been "reconstructed" upon the Congressional plan, contain up wards of 000,000 Negro voters, more than enough to (five 11u balance of power in the government, to these unlettered and semi-barbarous Africans. Mr. Green Goslin, who was horn a "Republican," and therefore, thinks it his duty to vote the Radical ticket, even he knows that ticket to he pledged to theenforcement of Negro Suffrage upon the South, says, "Oh! I am opposed to Negro voting, but it doesn't matter so long as they vote on ly in the South." The silly goose! As if the voters of Pennsylvania and those of the rest of the States, did not all vote together 011 the iirst Tuesday in November, for President of the I'nited States, and as if the 0o<), oon Negro votes did not count as many on that day, as il they were east in Pennsylvania, instead of Lou isana, Alabama and the rest of the Af ricaqized states! The Negro who votes for Grant for President, in Ala bama, kills the vote of the white man in Pennsylvania who votes for Grant's opponent. Thus does Negro Suffrage affect Pennsylvania. The old Key stone may declare by her GOO, (MM) white votes that this or that candidate shall he the next President; but the 000,000 blacks of the South, can say: No! not your choice, but ours, shall be the oc cupant of the Presidential chair. The balance of power, is, truly, in the hands of the enfranchised blacks. It was placed there by the present infa mous Iladical Congress and it is to be kept thereby Gen. Grant, if the people, by electing him, endorse the Chicago Platform. This is "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." REPUDIATION. A great deal is said about repudi ating the Federal debt. Some people are very nervous upon this subject. Did it ever occur to such people that 600,000 blacks will vote for members of Congress, at the next election?— And are those who profess to be in so great trepidation about the safety of the "nation's honor," such numb skulls, that they cannot see that these 600,000 blacks have not a single rusty nickel at stake in this matter? Nay, is it not their interest to favor repudi ation, in order to relieve Jhemselves of taxes which they already complain of as oppressive? If there be danger of repudiation in any quarter, it is in the Negro vote. Look out, ye would be saviors of the nation's honor; llie "nation's wards" are becoming res tive, and when the Hon. Sam. Gumbo and the Hon. Jim Bones get to Con gress, there will be a quaking among the bond holders. The lioe-lioklers are coming. 'ltali for Col. and Grantfax! "XO I'Ol.M Y." Useless Grant says, in his "letter of acceptance," that he will have "no policy," Ac. He might as well have said that when he becomes master of the Ship of State, the good old barque will have neither rudder nor compass. A pilot without a chart, drifted about by the shifting winds of popular opin ion, now thrown upon the lee-shore of faction, now drawn into the whirlpool of party, in constant peril from the floating ice-bergs of the North, or the fierce gales that blow from the South; such, by his own confession, would be U. S. Grant at the "helm of State." Think of it! A President without a policy! Shades of Jefferson and Jack son, defend us from such an infliction! Ye dead patriots, whose policies are canonized in the hearts of the people, look down from your celestial abode and inspire the popular mind with a true sense of the public danger in the elevation of a man to the Presidency, who declares ho will have "no policy." THE Inquirer calls the attention of the Democracy to the fact that Bonner is training Dexter for a run, and ad vises the itli of July convention to "trot out" that famous animal. If Dexter were run against Grant, the latter would have a sensible animal to to, much more so than the mule in whose ears he whispered as he rode him around the circus ring. "Trot out" Hiram, the mule and the monkey, and we'll bring out an "un known" that will "distance" the whole party. We have a "slate farm" to wager on that. Ox the 6th in.st., the Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser contained the follow ing: "We are requested by the soldiers on duty at this place to state that at the nigger carpet-bag, and scalawag meet ing, held at the capitol grounds 011 Sat urday night, the soldiers gave three groans for Grant, three cheers for Me ridian, and three cheers for Andrew Jehnson. They were given by the soldiers with a hearty good will, "and rolled from the capitol to the Artesian basin. We are also requested by these soldiers to state that any assertion con trary to this is a base falsehood. The soldiets say they are white men, and have no love for carpet-baggers and scalawags." Colonel Shepard, commanding at Montgomery, on the following day is sued an order reprimanding the sol diers and the editor of the Advertiser, and saying, "It is the duty of soldiers to abstain from any expression of po litical opinions as to persons or par ties." Is it there where you are? In 1868 and '6l it was quite commendable for the soldiers to express opinions 011 po litical subjects. Now, as the empire advances, it is altogether wrong for the soldier to give his political opinions, unless they happen to be on the Radi cal side. It is quite plain that the troops on duty in the South have seen enough of the practical workings of Radicalism to disgust them. Before the campaign closes there will be more than one demonstration like that at Montgomery.— Patriot. —A large number of Israelites in IST. Louis, over two thousand, it is said, have pledged themselves to vote a gainst General Grant. This action is mainly, if not wholly, based upon on order issued by Grant during the war banishing all Jews from one of the Southern military departments. coßßßsrosii)i'..>ti:. My Dear Meyers Are you a be liever in American progress ?*Are you a manifest destiny man? What your opinions were on the foregoing sub jects in "times that didn't try men s souls," i confess I can't remember, al though tolerably familiar with the views and feelings of the Editor of the iiEDF<>RI) GA/.ETTK. If you are not a manifest destiny man, it behooves you to swear allegi ance to Ulysses, the Ist. According to the Pittsburg Commercial, a paper that never had and never will have an un paid political opinion, and the Penn iti/lvania Telegraph, State Guard and Bedford Inquirer , papers that never had a political opinion, that was not paid for: It is "Treason, Stratagem and things" not to swear by Ulysses, the Ist, who never had apolitical opin ion under any circumstances. We disloyal people are in a terrible situation. It is impossible for us to tell when we may become offensive to Ulyss, old Jessie, the intellectual Aunt, Mrs. Cady Stanton, Anna Dickinson, Esq., and others of the "God and Mor ality" party, inasmuch as what would be treason one day, may be loyalty the next, and what would lie loyalty to day, may be treason to-morrow. I have lately discovered, and I claim credit forit.thata threeyears'soldier can express his honest opinion of Mrs. Lin coln, without being considered disloyal. That is, if bis opinion is unfavorable. I remember the time when to do so, was not only dangerous, but positively inconvenient , as the undersigned can testify. That was when Mr. Seward could tinkle his little "beii," and Mr. and Mrs. Abe could receive carriages, horses, jewels, etcetera, in payment for public offices, and if any dissatisfied spirit, any disaffected Copperhead, said one word against it, Mr. Seward's bell tinkled, the blood-stained Gen. Baker's cohorts were rampant, "ioil" people were indignant, and the moral sense of the Nation was only appeased* when the disaffected, disloyal, danger ous person was incarcerated in one of those Bastiles that were disgraceful a like to the humanity and civilization of the 19th century. For the American citizen of the pres ent day, the only safe and popular side is to adopt the Mahometan cry (with a slight variation) God is great and Grant is a Greater. We are told by those who were authority before the war, that the Nation is looking to him!! That the eyes of the civilized world are turned upon us!! (N. 11. The eyes of the civilized world must be a little cross-eyed if they have been turned upon us for the last 8 years.) (N. 8., No 2. No reference to Gen. B. F. Butler of Massachusetts, the Con gressional Manager who conducted the cross (eyed) examination of the wit nesses 011 the Impeachment Trial.) That the great battle of Freedom is just being fought!! That the contest Is still raging, and we must keep with the bayonet what we gained by the swotd !! Are. As far as we can see, all we have gained by the sword, was a lot of un principled scoundrels who arrogate to themselves the regulation of affairs (Sumner, Stanton, Butler, Grant, Lo gan & Co.; a debt that there is not money enough in the world to pay; FOURMILLIONS (4,000,000) of worth less "Niggers," who must be fed and clothed by the laboring men of the North, an a familiarity with despot ism and despotic acts that a few years ago would have driv 11 the American people to phrensy. We have also learned to submit ourselves to such leaders as Thad. Stevens, who in his place, in the House of Representatives of the. United States, sneers at the Christian Religion, and openly calls the Savior of Mankind a mere man dan "individual." We, a Christian Nation, sending brawling preachers and insidious tracts, to the enlightened Nations of Europe ; sending professed ministers of the Gospel to the heathen, and swindling the well-meaning por tion of our people, out of their earnings or their abundance, to send King James' Translation to people who had the True Bible before the existence of America was known. We have further learned to submit uncomplainingly to a people who sneer at us, jeer at us, and have always made a jest and a virtue of cheating us.— Yes, to our shame be it said, that the descendants of Pennsylvania Baptists and Quakers, whose ancestors were whipped through the streets of Yan kee towns at the tail of Yankee carts, followed by a horde of horde-faced, psalm-singing Yankee men and women, casting mud, stones and opprobrious epithets upon them, the liberalism and enlightenment of the Methodist have resolved themselves, in many ca ses, into a servile imitation of Yankee intolerance, that some of the once proud and respectable Lutherans, claiming to be the true and only Church, now basely consent to follow the lead of Yankee Unitarians, Fourierites, Par kerites and Free-Lovers. If lam cor rectly informed, they have a Stevens Professorship in Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, named after that lech erous old scoundrel, Thad. Stevens, who openly avows his infidelity and his contempt for the people who have trusted him and made him rich and famous, it is, indeed, a melancholy and a suggestive fact, that the German element of Pennsylvania, the Luther an, the T-uuker, the Amish or Mennon ists, and others, should for years heap favors upon men whose sole recom mendation was a blind unreasoning hatred to their own brethren, their own flesh and blood, in the £> ■ I ith, and whose every thought, impulse and feeling was directly antagonistic to ev erything they cherished and held sa cred. You do not remember, but your Grandfather did, when the Thad. Ste veusites of Somerset County, refused to hear a memboi oi any society as a wit ness, to let them sit as jurors ; when they, with true Yankee arrogance and boastfhlness, forbade their obsequious tools to deal with a merchant, or me chanic, who would not join their unholy crusade. Yes ! they even went so far as to denounce those who in death and sickness practiced the usual neighbor ly acts and offices toward those with whom they had been intimate, but who honestly doubted the wisdom of their acts and refused to join them. The intolerance of the party who worshipped Abraham Lincoln and tried to force th neighbors to do so, is not without p cedent. In the lan guage of the L , "that reminds me of a little story. 1 tell it because you know all the parties and because it bears its own moral. Rev. is a leading member of the Pittsburg Conference, a man of tine presence, of fair talents and engaging manner, and it is not at all surprising that in a short time he became one of the marked men in the Methodist E. denomination, "nfortunately for him, like too many o. the brethren, he be came a worshipper of the New England Baal, and came to regard hatred of the South as an evidence of Godliness. He preached the new Gospel, in common with his brethren, with general accep tance. When Lincoln was assassina ted, he preached nim right into Heav en, held him up to his flock as a bright and shining light—though he knew him to be a scoffer and unbeliever. On one of his rounds as Presiding Elder, he came to the romantic and se questered little village of Somerset, to hold a meeting. The only marked e veut was the absence of one who filled a prominent place in the Amen Corner, usually, as well as in the business com munity. Meeting the brother the day after the meeting, he accosted him in an affectionately rebuking or a rebuk ingiy affec'ionate manner—"Brother K ! Bro. lv ! I was vely sorry to see you were not at Church yesterday. How does that come?" "Well, 1 don't think I'll go to church anymore. 1 guess there's no use in it." "Why, Bro. K, I am very sorry to hear you talk in that way. What put such notions in your head." "Well, you see Bro. , last Sunday, preached that Abraham Lincoln, an unbeliever and disobeyer of the plain est commands of scripture, had gone straight to Paradise. If such as he can go to Heaven from a theatre, there is no fear for the rest of lis, and we needn't trouble ourselves about going to meet ing." Pliancy the Phelinks of Rev. .

The Wholesale Cheat. lii seven out of the tliirty-oue dis tricts in South Corolina which were said to have given ten thousand ma jority for the bogus constitution, the Democratic gain at the late county elec tions foots up fourteen thousand. This singular change has excited much commentandis variously ascribed to the ability of whites to control the negro vote, growth of black conservatism, and so forth and so on, all of which, in our poor opinion, is so much bosh. The secret is that at these county elec tions Congress had nothing particular at stake, and the returns were not, therefore, manipulated to suit. With carpet bag candidates to act as judges of election, and servile tools at head quarters, who would report that two and two made a hundred if so ordered from Washington, the very thought of an election in any of the Southern States is a farce, and it is our firm be lief, for which we have good reason, there has not been from the beginning to the end of this reconstruction busi ness one single faircoudt of the ballots. —JV.

A "Loil" l>('los;ale: lie Is tieeox■■ ized by a Wisconsin Soldier as a ISebci IJnerrllla. The Stevens Point Pinery relates the following interesting personal incident that occurred during the sitting of the Chicago Convention: Among the "loil" delegates to the late Chicago Convention was a red hot one from Arkansas, between whom and Hon. James S. Young, of this city, a recognition took place, as surprising on one side as it was disagreeable on the other. Mr. Young saw and recog nized the ardent "loil" delegate as a former notable guerilla bushwacker, whom "Mr. Young had assisted in cap turing in Arkansas during the war. The following conversation took place between them : Mr. Young—You are from Arkansas I believe. Delegate (pompously)— Yes, sir, I am one of the loyal delegates to the National Republican Convention. Young—Yes, 1 thought I knew you. 1 saw you during the war. Delegate (alarmed) —Where ? Young—When 1 was in the Union array you were a rebel prisoner of war; I helped to take you. The hypocritical advocate of "loil" negro equality stood dumb with amazement for a moment, and then broke through the crowd like a quar ter horse for refuge among his Radical confreres where the test of loyalty is lip service and negro equality. Could a more striking ease be pre sented? Young passed through a long and honorable service in the Union army, and is called a copperhead be cause he votes against military rule and nigger suTrage. While this rebel bushwacker, who fought us, and now for the sake office and spoils, joins the Radicals and shouts for negro equality, is called not only loyal, hut is a dele gate to the Radical Convention. Vive la humbug ! THE CROPS IN ENGLAND.—AII the accounts from England speak of the prospect of a large yield of the crops this season in that country. A writer in the Pall Mall Gazettte of the Ist in stant says: The area under grain crops is un usually large, and I have no doubt that coming statistics will show an excess under wheat alone of one hundred thousand acres over that of last year. I have just been over an estate in Lin colnslyre which contains seven thou sand acres, five-sixths of the tillage a rea of which are under grain crops, and the remaining one-sixth only un der roots and clovers. Excepting 011 light soils, the yield of artificial grasses will be heavy. The yield of mead ow hay will not excee . an average. "As with corn, so also with stock husbandry, the prospects are singularly cheering. Cattle are unusually free from disease, the clip of wool is heavy, the number of lambs is great, while pastures are luxuriant. Altogether the food produce of 1808, judging from pre sent prospects, promises great abun dance." Grant An exchange says: A gentlennm from Illinois informed us the other day that after the Chicago Convention he inquired of one of the principal dealers in Grant medals in Chicago how those tokens wereselling. " Well, sir," replied the dealer, himself a Rad ical, "either General Grant has 110 friends or they are .the - coldest set of friends I ever saw. These medals don't sell at all. Nobody wants them. You can't give them away. I thought 1 should be unable to supply the de mand, but as you see, 1 have nearly the whole of my stock on hand, and the probabilities are that 1 shali con tinue to have them." Such is Grant's popularity. Has anybody seen a < irant medal, or heard a spontaneous cheer given for him ? We pause for a reply. A GENERAL COUNCIL of the Catho lic Church throughout the world is au thoritative! v announced to take place at Rome during the next ensuing winter, j This council, it is stated, will be dehb- ( endive in its character, and will be the j first General Council of the Catholic Church that has been held since the fa- 1 mous Council of Trent. The object of this Grand Council is said to be political j rather than religious. Cardinal Man- j ning, in England, asserts that the 1 Church is to take ground, once for all, i against the infidel and revolutionary tendencies of the times, and interpose as a bulwark against anarchy and the dissolution of society. GKX. GRANT has already kicked the economy plank of the Chicago platform overboard, by writing a letter to the House Commit f ee 011 Military Affairs recommending a renewal of the in crease of thirty-three and one-third per cent, in the pay of army officers. The law allowing this increase expires June 30th. A one-third increase of expen ses is a pretty good commencement in the way of "retrenchment" ar.d "econ omy"—as understood and practiced by Radicals.
