A IMMtEHS OF 'l'll F, DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE.
DEMOCRATIC*STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS. J
CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 14, 1868. J
To the people of Pennsylvania :
The political contest just entered into
is laden with grave results to your busi
ness and to yourselves.
The Radical party asks a renewal of
its power and a continuance of its mis
rule.
Defeated in every recent election, it
now disguises its principles and trusts
for success to the military prestige of
an available candidate.
It offers to Grant the shadow of pow
er, as a price for securing'the reality to
Congress.
Its success will bring you continued
misgovernment by a Radical Congress,
the control of every department of the
government by Radical domination
and the perpetuation of its iniquities,
its prostration of your business inter
ests.
It came into existence to benefit the
negro; its devotions to his interests
gave us four years of war, grinding
taxation and three thousand millions
of debt; its determination to place the
negro over the white man has for more
than three years kept society shatter
ed, commerce paralyzed, industry pros
trated, the national credit below par
and the Union divided.
It has governed us for near eight
years; the history of its first admini
stration is written in four years of
blood and recorded in an enormous
national debt; the history of its second
administration is near four years of
peace, with absolute power, and a
Union not restored, a government of
the sword, business destroyed, taxa
tion crushing the energies of the peo
ple and the negro vested with the bal
ance of power.
Its end and aim is the preservation
of Radical power through the votes of
negroes and to this will be sacrificed
your material interests, and, if neces
sary, your personal rights and form of
government.
Military rule oppresses the nation
and eats out the substance of the peo
ple. It is fit that Grant should lead
the party that maintains that rule, for
his laurels were gathered by the sword
alone.
The Democratic party, placing itself
upon the Constitution, pledges itself to
strict obedience thereto, to the main
tenance of the government created
thereby, to the supremacy of law. to a
reform of abuses, to economy in ad
ministration, to equal taxation, and to
justice to all.
It antagonizes and denounces that
infamous policy which, during more
than three years of peace, has over
taxed the people, has governed by the
sword and has destroyed the credit of
the nation.
Its policy is one of thoughtful fore -
sight, of cautious statesmanship; it
seeks no new {rath ; but by the line of
the written law, in the light of exper
ience, it will guide the Republic back
to the highway of program and pros
perity, and will restore to it national
credit and fame.
It presents to you with pride its can
didate for the Presidency: Horatio
Seymour, of New York, a statesman
and an honest man. Capable and pure,
possessed of large experience and g.ft
ed with the rarest qualities of the head
and of the heart, strong in intellect,
sound in judgment and prompt in ac
tion, none more competent to lead us
back to the haven of law and order.
Pennsylvania owes [hiin a debt of
gratitude for his prompt aid when her
border was attacked.
The issues are liefore you; they are,
The statesman against the mere sol
dier ; intellect against force; the law
against the sword.
It is for you to determine which of
these will best suit our present unhappy
condition.
By order of the Democratic State
Committee. •
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman.
A FEW WORDS WITH OI K SOI.OIEK
CITIZENS.
It is a trick of the Radical politicians
to endeavor to appeal to prejudice in
stead of reason, to hate, instead of love.
They call upon the people of the North
to revive the strife an 1 bitterness of
the war and to rekindle the feud be
tween the North and the South which
fell to ashes with the surrender of the
Southern armies. As a part of this
trick, they ask the soldier citizen to
vote for Gen. Grant, because of his ser
vices during the war. By this means
they hope to screen from observation
the hideous record they have made
during the past three years; to hide
the fact that they have forced Negro
Suffrage , nay, NEGRO DOMINA
TION, upon ten States of the Union, to
conceal the fact that they are keepiug
up a Standing Army of 50,000 men to
enforce their Negro policy at a cost of
one hundred millions per annum, to
cover from sight the fact that they are
maintaining the Negroes of the South
in idleness, through the agency of the
Freedmen's Bureau, in order to use
them as voting machines, at an expense
of millions annually, to blind the peo
ple to the fact that since the close of the
war, TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED
MILLIONS of dollars have been col
lected in taxes and raised in loans, and
yet the public debt, instead of decreas
ing has increased, and to cause men to
forget the fact that they have conspired
to overthrow the Supreme Court and
to usurp the Presidential oflice by an
unwarranted impeachment. To enable
them to perform this trick, Grant has
consented to become their tool. He ac
cepts the platform made for him at
Chicago, which pledges hint to maintain
NEGRO SUFFRAGE and NEGRO
RULE in the ten States in which it has
been established. He is no longer
Grant fighting for the Union and the
Constitution, but Grant, the candidate
of a party which has placed the heel
of the Negro upon the neck of the
White Man ; the candidate of a party
which has, in the Senate of the United
States, REJECTED OVER TWO
THOUSAND OF THE BRAVEST
AND BEST SOLDIERS that ever
drew blade, to make room for scoun
drels like the notorious Callicott, who
are now expiating their crimes in the
penitentiaries of the country ; the can
didate of a party which taxes the sol
dier who received but sl3 per month
and a paltry'bounty, in greenbacks, in
order to pay the bloated, aristocratic,
nabob Bondholder his interest in gold.
And who is Grant? Who made him
what he is? Who gave him his repu
tation as a general ? The hundreds of
thousands of common soldiers whose
bones lie bleaching in wilderness, on rock
and in ravine, the legless and armless he
roes who bled upon (he gory field, the
brave survivors to whom the appeal of
hatred and revenge now comes from the
Radical Demagogues , these put the
three stars upon the shoulders of Ulyss
es. You, soldier citizens, you and your
dead and maimed comrades, made
Grant what he is. \ou gave him suc
cess. His generalship consisted in
hurling you recklessly againstlhe forti
fications of the enemy. Being in favor
with Stanton, he knew that if you
were slain, two recruits would fill your
place. Did he care for your life ? Did
he, by skillful manoeuvres, strive to save
his army from the necessity of charges
like that at Cold Harbor, or Fort
Hell ? No, he had chosen "a line,"
and on that he "would fight it out,"
though he had in the end to take Mc-
Clellan's route, which he could have
done without the losses at the Wilder
nesss, Mine Run, Spottsylvania, Cold
Harl>or, and the numerous fruitless
battle-fields on "that line,"
What claim, then, has Grant upon
your support? Have not you who
risked your lives to place those three
stars upon his shoulders and those
twenty thousand dollars per annum in
his pocket, greater claims upon him
than he possibly can have upon you ?
He is no statesman, all admit. He is
in the hands of WASHBURNE, the
most contemptible of Radical small
beer politicians. Shall, then, the mis
erable appeal to your passions, to hate
and vengeance, mislead you into the
support of one whom you owe nothing.
and who all must admit, is incompe
tent? It cannot be. You fought for
the Union, a Union of peace, and love,
not of malice, anger and hate. You
fought to bring back rebelg, and how
the appeal is made to you to spurn
them and refuse to them back.
Can you not say with the great, the
noble-hearted, the generous and forgiv
ing Democracy, as you take the erring
(Southerner by the hand, and with him
pledge fealty to the Union, eternal and
irrevocable, "Go, brother, sin no
more?"
ORIEL FOR WEAK STOMACHS.
Stanton Endorses Seymour.
Lineoln Thanks Him for His Serviees
When Pennsylvania was invaded.
The Radicals have raised their old
cry of "copperhead" against the U
nion Democrat, Horatio Seymour, and
the dashing Union General, Frank
Blair. This was to be expected, for
it is their only stock in trade. They
were ready to raise the same cry a
gainst Gen. Hancock or any body else
who might receive the Democratic
nomination. They had already start
ed the lie that Hancock rode in the
same carriage with Jeff. Davis, when
in New Orleans. They think they can
nauseate some weak stomachs by this
filthy dose of "copperhead !" "copper
head !" As an antidote to this we
give, from the record, the following:
WASHINGTON, June 15,1803
To his Excellency, Gov. Seymour:
The movements of the rebel forces in
Virginia arenow sufficiently developed
to show that General Lee, with his
whole ariny, is moving forward to in
vade the States of Maryland and Penn
sylvania, and other States.
The President, to repel the invas
ion promptly, has called upon Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Western
Pennsylvania, for one hundred thous
and militia, for six months, unless
sooner discharged. It is important to
have the largest possible force in the
least possible time, and if other States
would furnish militia for a short time,
to be credited in the draft, it would
greatly advance the object. Will you
please inform me immediately if, in
answer to a special call of the Presi
dent, you can raise and forward say
twenty thousand militia as volunteers,
without bounty, to be credited in the
draft of your State, or what number
you can possibly iaise?
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, June 15,1863.
GOVERNOR SEYMOUR :
The President desires me to return
his thanks with those of this Depart
ment, for your prompt response. A
strong movement of your city regi
ments to Philadelphia would be a very
encouraging movement, and do great
good in giving strength in that State.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, Juno 19, 1563.
To Adjutant General Sprague:
The President directs me to return
his thanks to his Excellency Governor
Seymour, and his staff, for their ener
getic and prompt action. Whether
any further force is likely to be requir
ed will be communicated to you to
morrow, by which time it is expected
the movements of tiie enemy will be
more fully developed.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WAR DEPARTMENT, I
WASHINGTON, June 27,1863. j
DEAR SIR— I cannot forbear express
ing to you the deep obligation I feel
for the prompt and candid support you
have given to the Government in the
present emergency. The energy, ac
tivity and patriotism you have exhibi
ted I may be permitted personally and
officially to acknowledge, without
arrogating any personal claims on my
part to such service, or to any service
whatever.
I shall be happy always to be es
teemed your friend,
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
His Excellency, Horatio Seymour.
TAX THE liOXDS.
Upwards of tico thousand millions of
dollars of property in U. S. Bonds are
untaxed, the interest upon which
is paid in gold out of taxes upon other
property and the industry of the peo
ple. At least Jive hundred millions of
this property is held by British and
other foreign capitalists. The Demo
cratic platform proposes to tax those
bonds as other property is taxed. Is
not this right? Is it not fair? Nay,
is it not necessary in order to assist in
the payment of the public debt? The
Radical party exempt the British bond
holder, and make the farmer, the mer
chant, the mechanic and the laborer
pay taxes out of which the bondholder
is paid his interest in gold. Let every
man, Democrat and Republican, vow
that he will vote for no candidate who
will not pledge himself in favor of tax
ing the bonds and paying off the pub
lic debt as speedily as praticable, in the
lawful currency of the country.
THE London journals are all for
Grant, and predict his election. Dur
ing the Rebellion they were for the
Confederacy and predicted its success.
Then they were for Southern rebels
who were trying to divide the Union,
now they are for Northern rebels who
are doing all in their power to destroy
it, .
ALL who how the knee to the Baal
of Radicalism are at once "reconstruct
ed" and made truly "Joil." All who
refuse to do this, are dL-JVanchised
"rebels," "Let us have peace," says
Grant.
"Let us have peace," says Grant..
"War to the knife on all who wont
vote our ticket," cry his friends.
A PKJXIOIfi LOT.
U. S. Grant is the man who, in cold
blood, demanded of the War Depart
ment that no exchange of prisoners
should be made, when thousands of
the bravest and best of our brothers and
friends were suffering and dying in
Southern prisons. It is eminently tit
that he should be supported by Hor
ace Greely, the bail of Jefferson Davis,
by Joe Brown, of Gorgia, the founder
of the Amlersont ille prison, by Ben.
Butler the man who assisted in pre
venting an exchange, by Stanton, who
declared that he would not exchange
healthy rebels for the skeletons of Un
ion soldiers, by W. W. Ilolden, who
offered a reward to any man wjio
would assassinate Abraham Lincoln,
•by John A. Logan, who tried to raise
a regiment in Southern Illinois f#r
service in the rebellion, but failing sold
himself for a pair of epaulettes, by
Bingham, denominated by Butler the
murderer of an innocent woman, and
by all the carpet-baggers and negroes
who are now reaping the fruits of the
sufferings and sacrifices of the soldiers
of the Union. Grant and his suppor
ters are a precious lot, truly. How
their record appeals to the support of
soldier citizens! It is positively irre
sistible.
THE KE<AISTKY VXD DESEKTKU LAWS.
We have neglected to inform our
readers that the Supreme court has
declared both the Registry and the
Deserter law unconstitutional and of
110 effect. These spawns of Radical
ism have been wiped from our statute
books by the highest tribunal of our
State. All lienor to our independent
judiciary!
As gold gees up the bondholder
makes money and the laborer loses.
Tax the bonds, put greenbacks and
gold on a par, and the bondholder and
the plowholders will be treated alike.
Is not this fair? *
THERE is souie trouble in Franklin
county 011 the Congressional question,
and it is rumored that the übiquitous
Johnny has gone on a pilgrimage
thither to fix things up.
HORACE GREEI.Y calls the soldiers
who assembed in New York city
"army worms." He was too coward
ly to say so while they were in session
there.
REX WADE says that Grant wont
talk anything but "horse." In No
vember Grant will find himself liars
du combat.
THE English journals have taken a
stand for Grant and the bond-holders.
A sure indication that Seymour will
be triumphantly elected.
FIGURING I I* THE CHASCKS.
Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune, has in
dulged in a little figuring for the edifi
cation of his friends, which he has
herewith given:
Mr. Lincoln had over 400,000 plurali
ty, with nearly all the electoral votes,
in 1864; yet mark how small a change
in the popular vote would have defeat
ed him ! He carried
Electors
Connecticut by 2,406 majority 6
Indiana by 20,189 majority 13
Maryland by 7,414 majority 7
Nevada by 3,235 majority 3
N. Hampshire by 3,529 majority 5
New York by 6,749 majority 33
Oregon by * 1,431 majority 3
Pennsylvania by 20,075 majority 26
Rhode Island by 5,631 majority 4
Total, 9 States, 70,655 majority 100
Add these to the voters of New Jer
sey, Delaware, and Kentuckey—2l,
and he would haye had 121; leaving to
Mr. Lincoln but 114.
Thus a change of less than 36,000 in
over 4,000,000 votes would have elected
McClellan over Lincoln, and changed
our whole subsequent history.
Since that time matters have changed
a trifle. Connecticut has gone Demo
cratic by about 1,700 majority ; Mary
land by 40,000; Nevada by 500; New
York by 60,000 ; Oregon by 1,500, and
Pennsylvania by 1,200, leaving the
Radicals only three States out of the
nine, and only twenty-two out of the
one hundred Lincoln electoral votes.
This is doing pretty well; but we are
capable of doing still better.
The World has been figuring and
speculating a little also. Here is what
it has to say :
States for Seymour and Blair.
In canvassing the question with the
delegates to the convention since the
nomination was made, the following
States are put down as sure for Sey
mour and Blair:
Connecticut • 6
New York 33
New Jersey 7
Pennsylvania -6
Ohio 21
Indiana 13
Oregon 3
Nevada 3
California 5
Delaware 3
Kentucky II
Missouri H
Kansas 3
Wisconsin 3
Maryland 7
Total 139
One hundred and fifty-nine votes are
all that is necessary for election, and
in the above tables there are one hun
dred and sixty electoral votes with
out counting MOO of the Southern
States engaged in tfie rebelljpn. In
the list pf States given, every one, save
three in which a State election has
been hold in the last eighteen months,
has gone Democratic. In all, the lo
cal elections have exhibited great
Democratic gains, sufficient to insure
the State for the Democracy this fall.
Wc have not counted Illinois in the
list, but the delegates to the conven
tion declared that there was no doubt
but Pendleton could carry that State.
If it would be certain for Pendleton,
then it can be safely counted for Sey
mour and Blair. In addition to this,
the States of Alabama, Georgia, and
Mississippi, are certain to give a Dem
ocratic majority with any fair chance
for voting ; this will give 21 more elec
toral votes and swell the Democratic
column to IS4. But the Repub
licans are laboring to exclude the votes
of the States of Virginia, Texas, and
Mississippi, by legislation in Congress.
■lf the electoral votes of these States
are not counted, then there will be in
the electoral college 291 votes, and 148
will be all that will be necessary to c
lect. The Democracy can then lose
Ohio, and still secure a majority of the
electoral college without counting any
from the South ; or, by carrying Ohio,
they can lose Missouri, Wisconsin, and
Kansas, and still elect their ticket
without receiving a vote from the
South. There is, therefore, every reason
for encouragement to the Democracy,
and the election of Seymour and Blair
may be put down as a certainty.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that there is not an earthly doubt of
the election of Seymour and Blair, not
withstanding the fact that our adver
saries are delighted with the nomi
nations.
No K'li>f lor Labor or Industry : Krar
tion from Itadiralism in \c
England.
The Rump Congress devoted sever
al hours on the 17th to the discussion
of reviving our now all but totally
annihilated mercantile marine.
The New England members were
particularly lachrymose. They spoke
of deserted shipyards, the decay of a
once flourishing commerce, and espec
ially the monopoly by foreign ships,
of the once valuable passenger traffic
which American ships and American
vessels participated so freely in days
gone by.
Some of them appealed for lower du
ties on iron, copper, timber, cordage,
hemp, and other things that enter in
to the construction of ships and steam
ers, on the ground that it would tend to
revive ship building, provide em
ployment for hundreds of thousands of
Amerieon mechanics and workingmen
who at present had nothing to do.
It was of no use. The Thieves and
Plunderers who had but a day or two
before voted to take two millions of
dollars from the public treasury, in or
der to add to the salaries of their male
and female parasites in the galleries,
voted No ! no ! no I
Labor and industry begged in vain
for a hearing. But the Bondholders,
the Big Bounty Robbers, the Shoddy
National Bank interest, the Greenback
Aristocracy, and the High Tariff swin
dlers— all of whom go to make up the
Radical party proper—were as deaf as
adders. They would not hear.
And so ruined commerce must stay
ruined a while longer. Prostrate in
dustry must continue prostrate yet a
little space. The poor man must be
patient, and try and pick up the
crumbs that fall from the bloated Rad
ical rich man's table, with as little
murmuring as possible. He and all
other of the oppressed must bide their
time. That time now, it is a consola
tion to know, is not far off. It will be
here in November.
it is a good sign to hear and to see
the New England Radicals thus squirm
over the desolation and ruin which
have overtaken their material inter
ests through the operation of the dia
bolical policy of which they have
themselves been the blind and per
sistent supporters. If they are now
getting their eyes open, and beginning
really to repent, so much the better.
It will help on the reaction which is
bound to turn over the electorial votes
of several of the New England States
to the Democratic candidate for I'resi
dent. •

change will effect a great, though
doubtless costly improvement, and is
due to the success which has attended
the two years of its existence, and to
the determination of the proprietor to
make it acceptable, not only to its pre

to their older brothers and sisters.—

WEIGHING ON THE FARM.— A half
bushel measure is considered indis
pensable by every farmer. lie does
not sell his potatoes or grain, guessing
at the contents of the bin or the pile on
the floor, it must be measured. With
this instrument at hand, he may know
first how much corn is to be fed to the
hogs and poultry, how many oats to
the horses, how much seed is sown on
the land and many other points equal
ly valuable to know. But a good
weighing scale is possessed by com
paratively few, although its use would
in many ways be even more valuable
than the half bushel. For instance in
selling live stock, the weight is usual
ly estimated by the drover or butcher
buying at the farmer's door. Long
practice enables the buyer to weigh
them very correctly with the eye and
thus he has the unexperienced seller at
an advantage which he is not slow to
use. A good Fairbank's Standard and
platform scale would save its cost in a
few such transactions. The weight of
grain per bushel, the gain of cattle un
der different systems of feeding, exact
ly when an animal ceases to increase by
feeding and many other important
facts can readily be determined by hav
ing a good scale. Fairbank Scales have
been named in this connection as being
entirely reliable having been adopted
as the Standard in this and other coun
ties. The above Scale are for sale by

the disease that is tugging at the vi

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, GO TO WORK
and put your Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every Republican who will
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 lo get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
Now is the time to sow the seed. Af
