COMMITTEE.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, j
CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 21, 1868. j
Democrats of Pennsylvania :
THE HOUR FOR WORK HAS COME!
We earnestly invite you to organize
for victory.
Attention to details, persevering ener
gy, organization and discipline will
bring triumph to your principles.
Zeal and perseverance in every Dem
ocrat, and thorough organization in
every locality, are the true roads to
success.
Superficial effort, noise and parade
are valueless. The stake is a mighty
one, and must be won by systematic
work and business-like energy.
Pennsylvania is the battle-ground.
At the October election the enemy
will make their most determined con
test.
You occupy the post of honor —the
vanguard of the Democratic army.—
You have proven your ability to carry
the State; and individual effort, faith
in your principles and courage in their
maintenance now, will enable you to
count your majority by tens of thous
ands.
The drift of the tide is toward you ;
changes are abundant; and it is appar
ent that the political revulsion now in
progress will end in the utter over
throw of Radicalism.
Let us labor to deserve so propitious
a result.
We invoke you, then, to energetic
action, to close attention to the details
of your organization, to the formation
of clubs, to the conversion of voters, to
the enthusiastic support of your candi
dates—SEYMOUß, the statesman, and
BLAIR, the gallant soldier.
Let us recognize in their names the
symbols of change, the representa
tives of hatred to Radicalism, and ex
tending the hand of fellowship to all
who will aid us in saving the Repub
lic, Conservatives and Democrats will
move forward under their banner, as a
mighty phalanx, united, determined
and irresistible.
Let your warfare be aggressive. De
fend nothing. The Radicals in power
are responsible for the unhappy condi
tion of our country Charge upon
them their extravagances and their
crimes. Demand of them an account
for your treasure wasted, your Union
not restored, your race degraded, your
business destroyed and your Govern
ment prostituted.
Let your rallying cries be, A GOV
ERNMENT OF WHITE MEN ; EQUAL
TAXATION ; ONE CURRENCY FOR ALL.
Organize! Organize! Organize!
To work ! To work ! To work !
By order of the Democratic State
Committee.
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman.
Tlf ARRETS STEVENS.
Old Tliad. endorses the Democratic
platform on the financial question, the
taxation of bonds and every thing else
except "the Negro'" Thad. says that
the Chicago Grant Platform, if it means
the payment of the bonds in gold, as it
is construed to mean by the A. Y Tri
bune, Forney's Press and nearly every
Radical leader in the country, is a
"swindle" and an "outrage," and he
%ill vote for Seymour and Blair, if
that construction is to be put upon it.
Republicans, pause and ponder! When
the "Great Commoner," as you delight
to call him, thus exposes the hypoc
risy of your platform, is it not time
to stop and think ?
THE IH'TY OF THE HOUR.
Can any one hesitate? Democrat,
Republican, look at the fearful work
that has been and is being done by the
Radical party, through its Representa
tives in Congress. See the disfranchise
ment of aquartcr of a million of white
Americans! See the elevation of GOO,-
000 Negroes to political supremacy in
ten States of the Union! S(-e the es
tablishment of a military despotism
over eight millions of Americans ! See
the fifty thousand bayonets of a stand
ing army, kept bright by appropria
tions of hundreds of millions of the
peopled taxes! See four millions of
Negroes maintained out of the hard
earnings of the people of the North, in
order that they may be supported in
idleness as voters of the Radical ticket!
See the enormous increase of the pub
lic debt, and the failure of Congress to
do anything to relieve the people of
their burdens! See the Bond-holder,
the wealthy aristocrat, rolling in opu
lence, exempt from taxation, whilst the
mechanic, the merchant, the laborer
and farmer, are made to groan under
the load of taxes! See the horrible con
spiracy to impeach and depose the
President, and the outrageous legisla
tion of Congress to throttle the Su
preme Court! And now, last and most
dangerous and most infamous of all the
diabolism of the Radical conspirators,
behold the arming of the Negroes of the.
South with 2,000 muskets and a battery of
cannon for each Congressional district!
Who can hesitate? Great God ! what
are party ties, what are personal pref
erences, what are the disappoint
ments of individuals, when thrown in
to the scale against these unutterable
enormities and crimes? Shame and
confusion to the man who hesitates
now ! The frown of outraged Heaven
will forever cloud the life of him who
knows his duty in this crisis and fails
to perform it. How contemptible be
yond all parallel is the man who knows
and feels and inwardly revolts at the
misrule of the Radicals, and yet sits
supinely down, or for party's sake, goes
to the election and votes for the very
men WIHJ have brought the country
to ruin and shame! Let it not be said
of any man in Bedford county, be he
Republican, or Democrat, " You knew
your duty, but you did it not! Is there
any conscience left among men? Is
there a single spark of patriotism to
animate the breastsof this devoted peo
ple? . Is there reverence for the exam
ples of our fore-fathers, love for our free
institutions, hatred of tyranny and
wrong, pride of lineage and the Amer
ican name? If so, let us see the proof
in the hearty, united, unselfish, but ir
resistible determination to put down
the monster Radicalism, to wipe from
the face of the earth, the curse of Sec
tional Hate which has blighted and
blasted the best hopes of the American
people.
The duty of the hour demands the
consecration of every man who loves
his country, to the great cause of De
mocracy against Radical Tyranny.—
Who can afford to be a laggard or a
coward ?
ORGANIZE !
Now that harvest is over, and the
weather is becoming cooler, we advise
our friends throughout the county, to
take steps to organize the party. The
full Democratic vote of this county has
not been polled for years, for the sim
ple reason that our organization liasal
ways been imperfect. This year it must
be otherwise. The interests at stake in
this canvass are too important to'let
things take their own course. Every
Township and Borough should have its
local organization. Seymour and Blair
clubs should be formed in every elec
tion district. It is not necessary that
much noise should be made in getting
up these organizations. Quiet work is
more effective than the braying of
horns and the flaunting of banners.—
These are well enough in their place,
but thorough drill, perfect discipline,
complete method, are of incalculable val
ue. It may be said that in some places
it is impossible to organize a club.
Nonsense! Where two or three meet
together in a good cause, the angel of
success will be in the midst of them.
Let there be regular meetings and fre
quent consultations. Even if but two
persons meet together and take counsel
for the welfare of the country, good re--
suits will follow.
Now, shall this suggestion be acted
upon? Men may boast of their Democ
racy, they may talk of their fidelity to
their parly and the labor they have
performed for its success in the past,
but the coming election will prove their
devotion to their professed principles.—
The country must be rescued now, in
this awful crisis of its fate, from the grasp
of the demons that are dragging it
down to perdition. Can you sit quiet
ly at your fire-side, can you pursue the
even tenor of your way, and permit
this great crime to be accomplished?
It cannot be. To work, then, and do
not wait for others to take the initia
tive. Begin, of your own accord, and
let nothing deter you from pushing for
ward the accomplishment of your pur
pose. Meet with your neighbors and
consult with them. Let each one as
sign himself a particular duty and re
solve to perform it. And above all
things, let there be no delay in begin
ning the work.
JOIIXCERSNA v*. wfOPPERIIEAIW."
At a Radical meeting held in front of
the Washington Hotel, a short time
since, the Hon . John Cessna made one
of his usual screeching speeches in
which he belabored, with his wonted
vindictiveness, his old friends, the
"Copperheads." John, in order, we
presume, to show in what familiar
terms he and "the Devil" intercom
municate each other's secrets, related
the following:
"The Devil asked a Yankee to be
come one of his followers. The Yan
kee said he would, if the Devil could
do certain things. The Devil replied
he could do anything. The Yankee
asked him to pluck up a large tree that
stood near them. The Devil pulled it
up by the roots and flung it away from
him. The Yankee asked him to remove
a hill close by. The Devil kicked it
down with his foot. The Yankee then
asked him to tell him what was mean
er than a 'copperhead.' This the Dev
il could not answer, but burst into
tears with grief at not being able to
count the Yankee among his followers.
'No,' said the Devil, there is nothing
so mean in Hell as a copperhead."
Cessna, of course, adopted the state
ment of the Devil as truth, and is con
vinced and now tries to convince oth
ers, that "there is nothing in Hell so
mean as a "copperhead."
Shame 011 this ungrateful dog! Who
gave him all the position he ever held ?
Who sent him to the Legislature?—
Who made him Speaker of the House
of Representatives ? Who worked and
fought and spent their time and money
to make him the John Cessna of ISG3?
The very men whom he now denounces
as "copperheads" and beslimes with
his malignity. Why, that title of
"Hon.," which he wears so meekly,
would not be before his name to-day,
if it had not been placed there by those
whom he styles "copperheads." He
was a "copperhead" himself. He op
posed the "Republican" party until
the very last year of the war and de
clared on the stump that the Union
could not be restored if Lincoln did
not withdraw his Emancipation Pro
clamation. Now, "like the dog that
returns to his vomit," he has gone to
the ranks of his former enemies, to eat
all the dirt he threw at them for twen
ty years. And this renegade "copper
head" has near friends whom he places
in this category of "copperheads" who
are "meaner than anything in Hell,"
men who are respected and beloved
wherever they are known, but whom
he dislikes because they would not fol
low him in his treachery to the party
that made him. Such a man is not
merely guilty of treachery to his party,
he is false to friends and kindred, and
a traitor to the best and noblest in
stincts of humanity.
AX INFERNAL MF.ANVKI:.
Congress, on Friday last, passed a
bill to take the control of the military
in the first and fifth districts, from
Gens. Stoneman and Buchanan and
place it in the hands of the Carpetbag
Presidents of the Reconstruction con
ventions of those districts. Thus Vir
ginia, Mississippi and Texas are re
fused even the few rights left them
under the Reconstruction acts, and
their people are to be bayonetted into
the embrace of Radicalism, by such
fiends in human shape as Hunnicutt,
Eggleston and Hamilton. But worse
than this, the people of those .States
are to be prevented under the se
verest penalties, from voting at the
Presidential election. We quote the
following from this bill:
"That if in any one of the said States
any person shall, during the year 18G8,
vote for any candidate for election for
President or Vice-president of the U
nited States, or shall act as an officer
at any election for such candidate, ev
ery person so offending shall bo deem
ed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and
shall be liable to indictment and con
viction in any court of competent juris
diction, and shall, on conviction be fin
ed not more than one thousand dollars,
and be imprisoned not less than one
month nor more than one year. That
it shall be the duty of the President of
the United States to prohibit any per
son from voting or acting as an officer
of and election contrary to the pro
visions of this act, and for that purpose
he shall employ the power of the army
and navy of the United States so far
as may be necessary,"
There was but one "Republican" in
the whole House, who had the honesty
to vote against this tyrannical and
shameful outrage, Mr. Baker of Illi
nois. God of justice, cannot be that
such crimes as these shall go unrebuk
ed!
•
BETTING ON THE EEE4TION.
One of the most dastard tricks of the
opposition, is getting strangers to bet
with our citizens on the result of the
election. When this is done s >me in
dividuals present will take a note of
it and prevent the democrat from vot
ing, on the day of the election. Look
out for all such offers to bet and avoid
the trick.

Each Coimly'iSliiirr :m<l the Yearly In

All Intorexfng Table for Tax-payers.
We have prepared with much care, a
table which we append, setting forth
the pro rate share of the public debt,
and of the jearly interest thereon, to
be paid by each county in this State.
It is admitted by statisticians of all
parties, that the debt of the United
States is, at,present, at least $3,000,000,-
000. Some persons, Thaddeus Stevens
among the number, put it above these
figures. Pennsylvania's share of the
$3,000,000,000, is estimated at one-sixth
of the whole, or $500,000,000. Upon
this basis, the fairness of which will
not be disputed, the following table
has been calculated:

It should be remembered that this
does not include pensions, bounties,
and debts of a similar description. Is
it not amazing to contemplate the
sums which are gathered from the peo
ple, yearafter year, simply to pay the
interest on this debt ? People often
complain of their county and State
taxes, but in hardly any county in the
Commonwealth do these amount to
one-tenth of the interest actually paid
on the public debt each year by the
people of such county. It is true this
interest is not all collected from the
people by a direct tax ; that part of it
which is not so collected is raised by du
ties on articles of meat, drink and appar
el\ which are invariably paid by the con
sumer. Ilence the high prices of the
necessaries of life, and "the grinding
of the faces of the poor." And this in
terest, mark you, must be paid in (/old,
which adds 40 cents to every dollar of
it. This is a subject worthy the atten
tion of every man; for if this land of
ours is ever again to be one of prosperi
ty, this load must be lifted from the
shoulders of the people.
IVIL* SUPPORT THK.TT.
Among the supporters of Seymour
and Blair, are Chief Justice Chase,
Judge Field and Judge Davis, of the
U. S. Supreme Court, Maj. Gen.
Ewing, Gen. L. I). Campbell, Hon. J.
R. Doolittle, Senator Dixon, Ex-Sena
tor Cowan, Senator 1). S. Norton, Sec
retaries Welles and Browning and oth
er members of the cabinet. These
have all hitherto been "Republicans."
Maj. Gen. Hancock, Maj. Gen. W. B.
Franklin, Maj. Gen. D. N. Conch,
Maj. Gen. H. W. Slocum, Maj. Gen.
W. F. (Baldy) Smith, Maj. Gen. J. A.
MeClernaud, Maj. Gen. Duryea (of the
famous Zouaves) and a host of the a
blest and best officers of the Union
army, are warm supporters of Seymour
and Blair. It is said that Maj. Gen. j
Geo. B. McClellan will soon return to
this country and take the stump for
the 1 )emoera tic cant 1 idates.
AKOTHEB BKBELMO.V.
Congress has voted two thousand ri-
Jfes and a battery of camion for each
congressional district. These arms are
to be placed in the hands of the blacks
in the South, to raise another rebellion.
Let the alarm be sounded from one end
of the county to the other.
DEMOCRATIC REPUDIATION.
While the Radicals are clamoring
against what they term the "Repudia
tion plank" of the Democratic platform,
which embodies the views of Mr. Pen
dleton, the following extract from the
great speech f that gentleman, deliv
ered to the Democracy of West Virgin
ia last week, will enable those who do
not fully understand the matter to
comprehend it in all its parts:
"J am," said the distinguished ora
tor, "hostile to no class or interest in
this country. I simply desire to be
just—just to the bondholder, just to the
people. I would live up with scru
pulous fidelity to the terms of our con
tracts. I would pay the interest of the
five twenties in gold, because the Gov
ernment promised to do so; I .would
pay the principal and interest of the
ten-forties in gold, because the Govern
ment promised to do so; I would pay
the principle of the five twenties in le
gal tender notes, because the boudhol
dersagreed to receivethem in payment;
and as I would not repudiate an honest
bargain to make money for the peo
ple, so I would not repudiate an hon
est bargain to make money for the pub
lic creditors." Again: "These bonds
operate as a mortgage upon the proper
ty and labor of the country. There are
two thousand millions of them. Pay
oil' those two thousand millions, and
will not these legal tenders be just in
that proportion more valuable? Since
the debt was contracted in legal ten
ders, I am in favor of continuing it un
til we can secure the people, who have
already suffered all the evils, whatever
good may be expected from the sys
tem.
These are the views of Mr. Pendle
ton, and these are the views embodied
in the Democratic platform. Will the
Radical journals, which cry "repudia
tion," be kind enough to point" out to
their readers wherein Mr. Pendleton
or the Democratic platform advocates
any such wrong? The howl of "repu
diation," like that of Copperhead, is
simply "played out."
THE TIME TO STRIKE.
The Radicals are disorganized and
discouraged. Their best men, their
leaders, in fact, such men as Chase,
Doolittle, Dixon, Cowan, Welles, Gen.
Ewing and many others, have repudia
ted them and joined hands with the
Democracy. Thaddeus Stevens, too,
the "great commoner," as they delight
to call him, has denounced the "letter
and spirit" plank of the Chicago Plat
form, and declares in favor of the Dem
ocratic financial policy. Thus divided
and distracted, the Radical party will
be easily beaten, .if the Democrats
make a determined, well-organized ef
fort. Now is (he time to strike. The
man who will not "strip to the buff"
to win this battle, is either a coward,
or has no faith in his principles. < The
man who works for the party nou\ is
the man who Will be hailed, in all the
future, as a true and trustworthy patri
ot. Strike, whilst we have the enemy
at a disadvantage ! •
UNANIMOUS.
Seymour and Blair received the
unanimous nomination of the National
Democratic Convention, and the -
mous endorsement of the National Com
mittee of the Soldiers' Convention.
They are the candidates of The People.
"l'n Up Or Shut Up."
A blatant Radical, a few days since,
happening in company with some gen
tlemen in this city, offered to bet SIOO
that Governor Seymour would not car
ry his own State, (New York.) One
of the company, a responsible and well
known citizen, agreed to take it, and
offered the following, open to all Radi
cals: He will name twelve States,
and will bet SIO,OOO on each State, that
Seymour will carry them : s2o,ooothat
Seymour, if he lives, will be the next
President; and $5,000 that no Radical
will dare accept the proposition, and
put up the money. This is a fine chance
for Wilkes, of New York, or any of
the worshippers of segar smoke, horse
talk, and whisky straight—Philadel
phia Mercury.

FRO If BALTIMORE.
Tcrrllic ItaDi Storm ntul TrciiiciKloiiN
Flood.
BALTIMORE, July 24.—A very tre
mendous thunder storm passed over
this city to-day. The rain fell in tor-1
rents for some hours, flooding the;
streets in every direction, and inter
rupting telegraphic and railway com
munication with the South. The rain
continued until four o'clock this after
noon. Jones' falls were overflowed 1
and the city in that region inundated.
Baltimore, Gay and Holliday streets
were flooded, the water rising at the j
rate of two feet per minute. The Hoi
liday street theatre and old City llall j
are rilled with water nearly up to the i
second story, and Mr. Ward, the jani
tor, was drowned. Many others are
believed to have lost their lives, and
the destruction of property is immense, j
All of the canal bridges in the city
have been swept away. I have just I
learned that Swann lake, seven miles i
out, on the Northern Central railroad,
from whiehthecity is supplied with wa
ter, has given way and the whole of the
immense flood has swept down the val
ley, carrying away bridges, houses,
factories and other property. The cars
at the Northern Central railroad depot
are now swimming in water, and
some persons are in them. Persons
who have just arrived from the
country report terrible destruction.
Drowned bodies of men, women and
children are frequently being picked
up. The flood also has been very se
vere on the Washington railroad, and
did much damage. Boats are now seen
in all directions in the lower streets, in
what used to be called the meadows.
The dam at Swann lake cost nearly a
quarter of a million of dollars. It makes
one shudder to contemplate the fearful
consequences of this awful flood, which
are not yet half known. The central
police station is twenty feet in water.
This flood far exceeds that of 1835. The
water is passing off to-night rapidly,
but is still about ten feet deep, and a
raging flood on Pratt and other streets
in 'he lower part of the city. The
damage done is roughly estimated at
$3,000,0(H), but may greatly exceed that
sum. A lady and four children were
drowned, about dusk, in trying to get
out of a frame dwelling down town.
Probably thirty persons have lost their
lives by this disaster. Policemen are
rowing all about the city in boats mak
ing rescues of persons and property
wherever practicable. The rain has
ceased and the crisis has passed as I
dispatch this to you.
—On the loth instant a riot took place
in Milican, Texas. A mob of about
twenty-five negroes, led by a white
school teacher and a negro preacher,
attempted to hang a man named Win.
Holiday. The white citizens, headed
by the sheriff, prevented the execution,
and attempted to suppress the mob,
killing some ten or twelve negroes.
The lighting continued on the follow
ing day, and the negroes who had in
creased their force to some three or four
hundred, were only put down by the
arrival of the United States troops.
Some fifty or sixty negroes were killed
altogether. The difficulty is said to
have arisen from supicion that a negro
member of the Loyal League had been
hung, but who has since been found.
PITTSBURGH FEMALE COLLEGE.—
We call the attention of our readers
to the claims of this really sterling in
stitution. Its recent catalogue shows
an attendance during the past year of
three hundred and forty-seven young
ladies, gathered from twelve States.
Its admirable location, on one of the
most beautiful and quiet streets of
Pittsburgh and yet within ten minutes
walk of nearly every important point,
its wholesome discipline, and withal,
moderate prices, commend it to all
who have daughters to educate. This
latter item is worthy of special notice.
The charges are scarcely one-half those
of many schools having fewer teachers
and less facilities. It is not an insti
tution established for private gain,
but to meet a public want, and the
single aim of all concerned has been
to put a finished education, of the high
est grade, within the reach of all
worthy young ladies. The Fall term
commences September 2. Send to ltev.
I. C. Pershing, for a catalogue. Let
its halls be crowded.
It is worthy of notice that Messrs.
S. I). & 11. W. Smith, of Boston, man
ufacturers of tho AMERICAN ORGANS,
have been most successful in the sale
of their instruments in those localities
where special exertions have been made
by certain manufacturers who have
had the arrogance and deception to
claim every improvement in reed in
struments as their own, which were in
operation ever before they existed in
the business. Never have the AMERI
CAN ORGANS been so popular, and the
sales so large as at the present time.
We have tested these instruments for
a long time, and find them in every
respect the most satisfactory and per
fect which we have ever used, and we
have had practical experience in the
use of those organs which in the pub
lic prints claim the greatest celebrity.—

"Light, more light!" is the start

in thedarkness of Radicalism. "Light,
more light!" shouts the groaning tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more light!" is the
pleading cry that comes to us from
those who earnestly seek a remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tals of the nation. Look and ye shall
see! Read and ye shall know! The
BEDFORD GAZETTE, for the Presi
dential Campaign, will lie a complete
compendium of political news, speeches,
documents and every thing that per

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
j 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 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 loget
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
Now is the time to sow the seed. Af
ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lic mind iu all its intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you !
