Our Grand Ticket!
The Democratic National Convention
assembled at New York on the 4th
inst., and remained in session until the
9th. Its labors were entirely harmo
nious, and the result reached is one of
which the Democracy may well he
proud. A platform of principles in
which there is no evasion, no equivo
cation, but which goes straight to the
mark, was unanimously adopted. Up
on this platform are placed the great
est statesman in the Union, and the
most dashing soldier of the war. Ho
ratio Seymour, of New York, is a
name which is a household word with
every man who loves civil liberty, re
ligious tolerance and constitutional
government. Compared with Grant,
he appears as Hyperion to a satyr.
Maj. Gen F. P. Blair, whose white
plume, like that of Henry of Navarre,
waved upon the storm of battle on every
field in the South West, who was at
the side of Dyon when he fell at Wil
son's Creek, who stormed the heights of
Vicksburg, who Jed the charge at
Chickamauga, who marched with
Sherman to the sea, this dashing hero
represents the soldier element of the
country upon the ticket. Besides be
ing a soldier, ho is a statesman and has
had much experience as a legislator.
Bold and fearless, he is the very
man to preside over the Radical Sen
ate and curb them in their excess.
The nominations of Seymour and
Blair, have been most enthusiastically
received from one end of the country
to the other. They are bound to win,
and we should not be astonished if the
defeat of the imbecile Grant, will be
more deeisivoand disastrous than even
that of Scott in 1802.
EN DOUSE VI EM' OE THE SOL.DIERS.
Twenty two hundred honorably dis
charged soldiers of the Union, six hun
dred of whom were general officers,
met at New York during the session of
the Democratic National Convention,
and endorsed the nominations of Sey
mour and Blair and the Democratic
National Platform. Among them
were Maj. Gen. W. B. Franklin, Maj.
Gen. J). N. Couch, Maj. Gen. Slocum,
Maj. Gen. W. W. Averill, Maj. Gen.
W. F (Baldy) Smith, Maj. Gen. John
A. McClernand, Maj. Gen. G. A. Cus
ter, Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, Maj.
Gen. Thos. Ewing, Maj. Gen. Duryea,
(of the famous Zouaves) Maj. Gen. W.
S. Hillycr and many others. This
does not look much like Grant being
popular with the army.
GEN. W. 8. HANCOCK has openly
declared that he is gratified with the
nomination of Mr. Koymour, as in the
present condition of things, it is better
that a statesman should he elected to
the Presidency. Gen. Hancock is a pa
triot aud will not be forgotten for his
devotion to the Constitution of his
country.
ItH UXS VS. BUTTONS.
The Democracy of the Union present
the name of the greatest Statesman of
the age, IIORATIO SEYMOUR, us
their Standard-bearer during the com
ing struggle. The Radicals ask the
people to vote for Grant, a man who
knows nothing about civil affairs and
whose private character is assailed ev
en by his own partizans. The Demo
crats say for their candidate, that he
understands the workings of our gov
ernment, that he has been a close stu
dent of the Federal Constitution, that
he is a friend of civil and religious lib
erty, that he has always stood up a
gainst intolerance and tyranny, that
he is au educated and talented chris
tian gentleman, and that from his ad
ministration the people can expect re
lief from the burdens which have so
long and so heavily oppressed them.
The Radicals can say for their candi
date only this, that he stepped into the
Lieutenant-Generalship over the dead
bodies of a hundred thousand Union sol
diers sacrificed to his blundering general
ship. Now, can it be possible, that any
man can mistake in making his choice
between these two men ? Can it be
that any sensible, patriotic man should
desire to place the destiny of this coun
try in the hands of an ignorant blun
derer, controlled by the corrupt Wash
bur ne, rather than in the hands of an
accomplished statesman and honest
patriot like Horatio Seymour? It is
Brains against Buttons, Statesmanship
against Butchery. Whocan#iesitate in
making the choice.
THK Pennsylvania delegation to
the New York Convention, after east
ing some complimentary votes for
Judge Packer, voted consistently for
(ten. Hancock, to the last, But the
West, not being able to nominate Mr.
Pendleton, desired to nominate one of
their own gallant generals lor Vice
President, and were strong enough in
the Convention to accomplish their
wish. The vote for Hen. Hancock was
a very flattering one, especially from
the Southern States, the very men who
had met and fought against him in
the field voting for him. But it is far
better that we will have a statesman
for President, and that Gen. Hancock
will then be placed at the head of the
War Department.
HORATIO SEYMOUR, when Governor
of New York, in 1803, sent his troops
to the relief of Harrisburg, when the
rebels threatened it, before Gov.
Curtin had got a single militia man in
the field. By this timely action he
assisted in checking the rebs., and they
were compelled to fallback upon Get
tysburg where they were defeated.—
The gratitude of Pennsylvanians for
this patriotic act, will be expressed at
the polls in November.
IN 1863, HoratioSeymourexposed and
frustrated the trick by which Stanton
attempted to draft double the number
of men from the German and Irish
districts of New York, that were due
upon a fair quota. It will be remem
bered that Stanton's attempted out
rage upon the German and Irish citi
zens of New York, produced a riot ;
but Seymour pacified the rioters and
compelled the War Department to
equalize the draft.
A correspondent of the Franklin lie-
ponitori/, speaking of the Congression
al nomination, advocates the cause (if
Col. Geo. B. VVeistling, as the "Re
publican" candidate for this district,
and hits John Cessna in this style:—
"Col. Weistling permanently located
in this county, a thorough Republican,
in IG4, some several months before
Hon. John Cessna left the hopeless
cause of the Democratic party."
That is the "unkindest cut of all."
Johnny, you ought to remember that
you are not yet full Hedged in your a
dopted party, and you had better not
be so greedy. If, when you reach for
the "loaves and fishes," you get rapped
over the lingers severely, you must not
complain.
THE editor of the Hollidaysburg
Register , who is personally acquainted
with the men on our county ticket,
says;—"On the whole, this is a very
good ticket, and if the Democrats must
succeed in that benighted county, we
are glad they nominated such good
men." On the other hand, the editors
of the Bedford Inquirer, call our nomi
nees "wooden men" and say they
might answer as "heathen gods," d-c,
When two such great philosophers dif
fer, we intend to leave the whole mat
ter in the hands of the people of this
county to decide, which they will do,
by giving our nominees an overwhelm
ing majority.
NEVEK in our recollection, has a
nomination created such unbounded
enthusiasm, as that of Seymour and
Blair. There is a general rejoicing all
over the country, for the people have
made up their minds to elect them by
unprecedented majorities.
CLOSIKO SCENE IST THE SETT YORK
CON V ENTION.
While the twenty-second ballot was
being taken the States were voting
about the same as the previous ballot,
showing that no choice could be had
of the names before the convention.
Seeing this, Gen. McCook, of Ohio, rose
and nominated Gov. Seymour, of New
York. No one who was present, will
ever forget the scene that followed, as
State after State cast her vote to place
in nomination the next President of
the United States. But read the pro
ceedings :
When Ohio was called, Mr. M'Cook,
by unanimous direction of his delega
tion, and with the assent and approval
of every public man in that State, in
cluding Mr. Pendleton, put in nomi
nation against his inclination, but no
longer against his power, the name of
Hon. Horatio Seymour. Let us vote
for a man whom the Presidency has
sought, and who has not sought the
Presidency. This he believed would
drive from power the .Radical cabal at
Washington. He believed this nomi
nation would command the unanimous
approval of Democrats and conserva
tive men of all sections. He asked, on
behalf of the country, that Seymour
should yield to this wish of the Con
vention. (Great excitement and ap
plause.)
Mr. McCook cast 21 votes for Horatio
Seymour. [Renewed cheering. |
Mr. Seymour rose and said—The mo
tion just made excited most mingled
emotions. He had no language in
which to thank the Convention, and to
express his regret that his name had
been presented, but in a question af
fecting his duly and honor, he must
stand by his opinion against the world.
He could not be nominated without
putting himself and the Democratic
party in peril. When he declined tjie
nomination he meant it. He paid an
eloquent tribute to Mr. Pendleton, and
his magnanimity, and in closing, said:
Thanking the Convention, your candi
date I cannot be.
Mr. Vallandigham said—ln times of
great exigeneejand calamity, every per
sonal consideration should be cast a
side. He insisted that Horatio Seymour
must yield to the demonstration in his
behalf. Ohio's vote must and should
stand for Horatio Seymour. He called
upon the several delegations to follow
that lead.
Mr. Kierman, of New York, said:
To relieve everybody in regard to the
New \ork delegation, he would say
they have no lot nor part in the move
ment of Ohio; they had heard some
thing of it, but declined totakeany part
in it, out of regard for the proper sensi
tiveness ot the President of the Conve
ntion, untilothcr States should show by
their action that Seymour was deman
ged by the party in ('onvention. J leur
ded the necessity of success in the cam
paign, and expressed his opinion that
Mr. Seymour could now accept the
judgment of the convention with hon
or, and that he should yield as*a mat
ter of duty to its wishes. With him
as the candidate, New York was good
for 100,000 majority.
The call of the roll was then proceed
ed with.
Tennessee gave Horatio Seymour 10.
When Wisconsin was called, Mr.
Palmer seconded the State of Ohio, and
cast 8 votes for Horatio Seymour.—
(Great cheering.)
Kentucky gave Seymour her 11
votes. (Great cheering.)
Massachusetts gave 12 for Seymour.
North Carolina changed her 9 votes
from HeudriekstoSeymour. (Cheers.)
Pennsylvania asked that her vote be
not recorded foi the present.
Mississippi changed from Hancock
to Seymour. (Great cheering and con
fusion .ensued, delegates standing up
on the seats: cries of "sit down in
front," "order.")
Mr. Price took the chair and insist
ed that the gentlemen must take their
scats, and lie would recognize no one
until order was restored.
Mr. Woodward, of Pennsylvania,
now rose and transferred her 2(5 votes
to Horatio Seymour. Great cheering
and disorder. Cries of delegates all
over the house to their respective
chairmen, "Changeourvote!" "Change
our vote!" Half a dozen States at
once wanted to change their votes.
Missouri changed to Seymour, 11.
Illinois followed en masse for Sey
mour. (Tremendous cheering; inde
scribable confusion.)
Indiana changed solidly to Sey
mour.
lowa came next, 8 for Seymour.
Texas cast her six.
Here the cannon on the Street began
to fire a salute for the nominee.
State after State came in, but the
confusion and noise was so great that
not a word could be distinguished of
what any body said.
Seymour is clearly nominated.
The confusion is subsiding.
Alabama, Main, Kansas and Arkan
sas followed successively unanimously
for Seymour.
Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, moved
that the nomination be made by accla
mation, but there was so much confus
ion that nothing was done with it.
A delegate from Minnesota, franti
cally waiving one of the State stan
dards, attracted the attention of the
chairman, and cast the vote of Minne
sota for Seymour.
Georgia paid a tribute to Hancock,
the most sprightly soldier of the war,
whom she had supported earnestly, but
she now united in voting unanimously
for Seymour.
Louisiana gave her seven for Sey
mour.
Stuart, of Michigan, said that State
came to tne Convention with a sin
gle purpose to nominate a candidate
who could certainly be elected. That
position she occupied to-day. He pro
ceeded to eulogize Seymour as thegreat
est statesman now living, and cast
Michigan's eight votes for him.
The band on Fourteenth street struck
up "The battle cry of Freedom," the
cannon still saluting,
A delegate from South Carolina said
he was from a state which felt most
heavily the chains of oppression of
Radical rule. He said South Carolina
came here caring more for men than
measures. They were satisfied with
the platform adopted so unanimously,
and South Carolina, with the invoca
tion of God's blesajog on the party on
which rests tiie last nope of the coun
try, casts her vote for Seymour.
Maryland changed to Seymour.
Mr. Tildoti, of New York, rose.— ,
Great interest to hear him was mani
fested, and cries were uttered to "take
the platform," 110 spoke from his
place, however, and said he did not last
evening believe that the event which
has now occurred could have happened.
His remarks here were not distinctly
audible to the reporter because of the
conversation in his vicinity. He was un
derstood to say that he had no expecta
tion that Ohio would have come to the
support of even so distinguished a citi
zen of the State of New York, which
had opposed Ohio's most earnest wish
es, In conclusion he announced the un
animous vote New York fur Horatio
Seymour.
Mr. ('lark, of Wisconsin, called for
the ratification of the nomination by
the spectators by three cheers for Ho
ratio Seymour, which were given with
a Swill. The Chair announced the
result. All the States having voted
for Horatio Seymour giving him 317
votes. [Enthusiastic cheering.J
The whole Convention and audience
rose en masse , waiving hats, hanker
chiefs, fans, Ac., for several minutes.
Loud calls for Seymour. Cries of sit
down in front. The Chair rapped with
his gavel, and called to order in vain
for some time.
THE DIFFERENCE.
When a man, engaged in the late
rebellion, elects to vote against the
Radical ticket, he is a hideous rebel,
a man to be shunned by all the truly
"loil." But when another man, who
was one of the founders of Anderson
ville prison, with all its sufferings and
horrors, and who captured Union ne
gro soldiers and remanded them into
slavery, comes into the Radical fold,
he is at once "reconstructed" and his
many sins are forgiven him. For in
stance, Gov. Joe. Brown,*of Georgia.
Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel.
HORATIO SEYMOUR was elected
Governor of New York, in 1802, upon
a platform of a "more vigorous prose
cution of the war", and during his ad
ministration New York raised and
equipped the splendid regiments
which made so grand a record for the
Empire State. Yet Mr. Seymour is
called a "copperhead," and his nomi
nation an insult to Union Soldiers.
HURRAH for Seymour and Blair!
It is the winning ticket! Now, Demo
crats organize for Brains against But
tons !
GENERAL FRANK I*. III.AIR DEFINES
HIS POSITION.
WASHINGTON, June 30.
Colonel Jus. O. Broudhead.
DEAR COLONEL: —In reply to your
inquiries, 1 beg leave to say that 1
leave you to determine, on consulta
tion with my friends from Missouri,
whether my name shall be presented to
the Democratic Convention, and to
submit the following, as what I con
sider the real and only issue in this
contest.
The reconstruction policy of the Rad
icals will be complete before the next
election ; the States, so long excluded,
will have been admitted, negro suff
rage established and the carpet-baggers
installed in their seats in both branch
es of Congress. There is no possibility
of changing the political character of
the Senate, even if the Democrats
should elect their President and a ma
jority of the popular branch of Con
gress. We cannot, therefore, undo the
Radical plan of reconstruction by Con
gressional action ; the Senate will con
tinue a bar to its repeal. Must we
submit to it? I low can it be over
thrown ? It can only be overthrown
by the authority of the executive, who
is sworn to maintain the Constitution,
and who will fail to do his duty if he
allows the Constitution to perish un
der a series of Congressional enactments
which are in palpable violation of its
fundamental principle.
If the President elected by the De
mocracy enforces or permits others to
enforce these Reconstruction acts, the
Radicals, by the accession of twenty
spurious Senators and fifty Representa
tives, will control both branches of
Congress, and his administration will
be as powerless as the present one of
Mr. Johnson.
There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution, and
that is for the Presidentelect to declare
these acts null and void, disperse the
carpet-hag State governments, allow
the white people to reorganize their
own governments, and elect Senators
and Representatives. The House of
Representatives will contain a majori
ty of Democrats from the North, and
they will admit the Representatives
elected by the white people of the
South, and with the co-operation of the
President it will not be difficult to
compel the Senate to submit once
more to the obligations of the Consti
tution. It will not be able to withstand
the public judgment, if distinctly in
voked and clearly expressed, on this
fundamental issue, and it is the sure
way to avoid all future strife to put
this issue plainly to the country.
I repeat that this is the real and only
question which we should allow to con
trol us ; Shall we submit to the usurpa
tions by which the Government has
been overthrown or shall we exert our
selves for its lull and complete restor
ation. It is idle to talk of bonds,
greenbacks, gold, the public faith and
the public credit. What can a Demo
cratic President do in regard to any of
these with a Congress in both branches
controlled by the carpet-baggers and
their allies? He will oe powerless to
stop the supplies by which idle neg
roes are organized into political clubs—
by which an army is maintained to
protect these vagabonds in their out
rage upon the ballot. These, and
things like these, which eat up the
revenues and resources of the Govern
ment and destroy its credit, make the
difference between gold and green
backs. We must restore the Consti
tution before we can restore the fi
nances, and to do this we must have a
President who will execute the will of
the people by trampling into dust the
usurpations of Congress, known as the
reconstruction acts. I wish to stand be
fore the Convention upon this issue,
but it is one which embraces every
thing else that is of value in its large
and comprehensive results. It is the
cue thing that includes all that is worth
a contest, and without it there is noth
ing that gives dignity, honor or value
to the struggle. Your friend,
FRANK P. BLAIR.

AMXESTY PROCLAMATION BY PRESI
DENT JOHNSON.
By Ilio I'resldciil of lh I'liilwl Slntov-A
Prtx'litmal ion.
WHEREAS, IN the month of July,
Anno Domini 18(51, in accepting the
conditions of civil war, which was
brought about by insurrection and re
bellion in several of the States which
constitute the United States, the two
Houses af Congress did solemnly de
clare that that war was not waged on
the part of .the Government in any
spirit of oppression, nor for any pui
pose of conquest or subjugation ; nor
for any purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or established
institutions of the States, but only to
defend and maintain the supremacy of
the Constitution of the United States,
and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the Sev
ern! States unimpaired, and that as
soon as those objects should be accom
plished, the war on the part of the
Government should cease ; and,
Whereas, The President of the Uni
ted States has, heretofore, in the spirit
of that declaration, and with the view
of securing for it ultimate and com
plete effect, set forth several proclama
tions offering amnesty and pardon to
persons who had been or were concern
ed in the afore-naiued rebellion, which
proclamations, however, were attended
with prudential reservations and ex
ceptions then deemed necessary and
proper, and which proclamations were
respectively issued on the Bth day of
December, 1863, on the 29th day of
March, 1861, on the 29th day of May,
1865, and on the 7th day of September,
1867; and,
Whereas , The s'aid lamentable civil
war has long since altogether ceased
with an acknowledgement by all the
States of the supremacy of the Federal
Constitution, and of the Government
thereunder; and there no longer exists
any reasonable ground to apprehend a
renewal of the said civil war, or any
foreign interference, or any unlawful
resistance by any portion of the people
of any of the States to the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States ;
and,
Whereas , it is desirable to reduce
the standing army, and to bring to a
speedy termination military occupa
tion, martial law, military tribunals,
abridgement of the freedom of speech
and of the press, and suspension of the
privilege of habeas corpus, and of the
right of trial by jury, such encroach
ments upon our free institutions in
time of peace being dangerous to pub
lic liberty, incompatible with the indi
vidual rights of the citizen, contrary
to the genious and spirit of our Repub
lican form of government and exhaus
tive of the National resources, and,
Whereas, It is believed that amnesty
and pardon will tend to secure a com
plete and universal establishment and
prevalence of municipal law and order,
in conformity with the Constitution of
the United States, and to remove all
appearances and presumptions of a re
taliatory or vindictive policy on the
part of the Government, attended by
unnecessary disqualifications, pains,
penalties, confiscations and disfran
chisements, and on the contrary to
promote and procure complete frater
nal reconciliation among the whole
people, with due submission to the
Constitution and laws; now,
Therefore, Be it known that I, An
drew Johnson, President of the United
States, do, by virtue of the Constitu
tion, and in the name of the people of
the United States, hereby proclaim and
declare unconditionally, and without
reservation, to all andevery person who
directly or indirectly participated in
the late insurrection or rebellion, ex
cepting such person or persons as may
be under presentment or indictment in
any Court of tiie 'Tnited States having
competent jurisdiction upon a charge of
treason or felony,, a full pardon and
amnesty for the offence of treason a
gainst the United States, or of adher
ing to their enemies during the late
civil war, with restoration of all rights
of property, except as to slaves, and ex
cept, also, as to any property of which
any person may have been legally di
vested under the laws of the United
States.
In testimony whereof, I have signed
these presents with my hand, and have
caused the seal of the United States to
be hereunto affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, the
fourth day of July, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, and of the Independence
of the United States of America, the
ninety-third.

who have inspected these instruments.

the merits of reed organs manufactured

and who have carefully examined the
AMERICAN ORGANS, manufactured by
Messrs. S. D. & 11. W. Smith, of Boston,
have pronouced them unexcelled even
by the "Alexandre Organ," in the
beauty and perfection of the internal
workmanship, while in the quality of

in variety of combination or delicate
expressive effects, they have been ad

REASONS WHY.
We arc enabled to offer superior inducements to
purchasers of clothing, to which your attention
is respectfully invited.
We have a business experience of more than 25
years, have boon longer established thyn any
house in our trade in Philadelphia.
We employ sufficient capital to uiake ALL PUR
(MIASES FOR CASH, which, together with the
fact that our large business enables us to buy in
large amounts in first hands, thereby saving all
profits of jobbers and middlemen, give us ad
vantages in purchasing at the lowest rates,
SHARED RY NO HOUSE IN OUR TRADE
We sell only for cash and having no losses from bad
debts to provide for, the paying customer is not
TAXED TO KELP I'AV THE DEIIT OF ANOTHER who
does not pay, as is inevitably the case in a busi
ness where credit is given.
We employ the best talent in all departments,
which, with long experience, enable us to man
ufacture garments SUPERIOR IN EVERY RES
L'ECT — equalled by few —surpassed by none.
We have the largest establishment for the manu
facture and sale of clothing in Philadelphia,
extending through from 518 Market street to
511 Minor street, occupied exclusively by our
selves, also a branch store at 600 Broadway, •
New York, and keep at all times of
MEN'S. YOUTH'S and BOYS' HEADY-MADE
CLOTHING, the largest stock and best assort
ment in the city, from which any person can bo
accurately fitted at once, as well, or better, than
by garments made to order, our large stock
comprising every size of all styles ot goods.
Wo have recently added to our previous stock a
full assortment of
CHILDREN'S GARIBALDI AND OTHER -
SUITS, equal to anj-in the city in style, trim
ming, and make; which are sold at lower pri
ces than have hitherto been known in Phila
delphia. They, with all our Boys' and Youth s
goods, are kept on the first floor, nearest the
front, convenient for ladies. We have also re
cently opened on our SECOND FLOOP. A
CUSTOM DEPARTMENT for the display of a
choice selection of Foreign and Domestic Fa
brics in the piece, which will be MADE UP TO OR
DER, in the best style, by competent and skill
ful cutters and workmen. The advantage ot
dealing with a CASH HOUSE will be especially
apparent in this department, upon a compari
son of prices.
We guarantee OUT prices lower than the lowest
elsewhere and also guarantee full satisfaction to
every purchaser, and request, that should any
cguse of dissatisfaction exist with a purchase
made, it may be reported to us, pledging our
selves, by exchange, refunding of money, or oth
erwise, to give full satisfaction in every case.
(Samples and prices sent by nutil when desired.)
An examination of our stock respectfully re
quested uud your patronage, if the above state
ment of facts be satisfactorily demonstrated.

with Patent Medicines, which attend the same
For years past I ivas reluctant to do so, as the
capital required would be large, and I did not
wish to curtail the operations of my Venetian
Liniment business. But, thanks to the generous
public, who have appreciated my Venetian Lini
ment, I am now able to do so, without any detri
ment to my large business in that medicine. The
foundation of my success I attribute to attending
to the manufacture of every drop myself, and
shall do the same in regard to my Pulmonic Life
