TIO.V.
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.

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."

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

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

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.
MCCLET..L.AN AND HANCOCK. —Gen.
McClellan has written a letter from
Europe to General Hancock, stating
that he will arrive in this country in
August next, and that he will not jet
his name be used in connection with
the presidency. He cordially endorses
General H., or any other good man
who may he elected at the July con
vention in opposition to the radical
nominations, and will take the stump
in their behalf.— Wa*h.Express*.

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, CO TO WORK
and put pour Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every llepublican who wilt
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see to get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
Note is the time to sow the seed. Af
ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub

and then seed-time will have passed.
