What earthly use is there In display, 1
noise, crowds, "fuss and feathers," if ,
th * reason of men it* not convinced there
by? We address this question to in
telligent men in every election district
in this county, with the observation
that if one half the money that is usu- .
ally spent in the heat of political cam
paigns, were raised now and applh-d to
the payment of subscription to good
Democratic journals to be placed in the
hands of intelligent and reflecting "Re
publicans," there would be much more
favorable results at the polls. The
"Radicals" all over the country have
for years pursued the plan of paying for
their papers to be sent to Democrats.
This has been a powerful weapon in
their hands. Will Democrats take the
hint? Cannot some of our friends in
each school district club together and :
furnish wholesome political reading to
their "Republican" neighbors? Nev
er mind the scalawags who have no
minds of their own or who are "catch 1
votes." Direct your attention to the in
telligent and thinking men among
your political opponents. Have your
county paper sent them regularly and
begin sending it as soon as possible.
Do not wait until they have commit
ted themselves, in their own mind",
to the policy or candidates of their par
ty. .Voir is the accepted time.
Next year there will be an election
of great importance to the people of
the State, and especially to the people
of this county. A Governor and Judge
of the Supreme Court, a State Senator
a id two members of the Legislature, a
Prothonotary, Sheriff, Treasurer, Com- i :
niissioner, etc., are to be elected. Of
course we shall have lots of candidates
for the county nominations. Will
these gentlemen, for once, forego a lit
tle of the bitter persbnal electioneering
which has so often injured the party, J
and strive, in generous emulation with
each other, to do what they can for a
common cause? Will they turn in
and help us circulate the GAZETTE, SO
that, if nominated, they may the more
easily be elected ? We shall see.
TKOI'BEE IX THE IUIIK 41. KAX'KN.
The mutations of parties are strange
indeed. The ups ano downs of politi
cians are not less wonderful. Nine
years ago, the so-called "Republican"
party was but a weak and sickly baby,
mewling and puling in the arms of its
nurse, W.H.Seward, i.ike the toad
that fills itself with vapor and expands •
to twice its natnral size, this political
suckling drank in the fumes of anti
s'.avery agitation and was soon pulled
up into a full-blown and overgrown
existence. Then came a diet of human
flesh and blood,upon which the appe
tite of the party was glutted and upon
which it grew fat and strong. lJut
when the people had made an end of
sacrificing to the god of war, the party j
which had subsisted upon what the
war produced, began to weaken and
decay Even its faithful nurse gave it
up. Soon, however, its dried up veins
were filled with new blood, drawn
from the victims of a riot gotten up
specially to serve this purpose. Again
it became vigorous and mighty. Like
all convalescents, it grew fearfully vo
racious and threatened todevourevery
thing that stood in its pa h. It soon
overloaded its stomach with a big :
"reconstruction" dinner and the year
1807 found it very low and feeble.—
Only one remedy remained, and that
was to use the golden pills of the bond
holders and permit a butcher who was
something of a home-doctor to admin
ister them. The physic barely saved
the life of the party, and it is even now
questionable whether a rupture be
tween the physician and his patient
will not yet end in death to the latier.
Dropping the metaphor, it seems
quite probable that the bond question
is about to cause a serious quarrel in
the itadical party. Gen. liutler clings ,
to his position with great pertinacity,
and is fiercely antagonized by Greeley
and most of the eastern Radicals. The
western inea generally said with But
ler. Grant's cabinet, in all probabili
ty, will be divided on this question.
As this is an issue that cannot be post
poned, or evaded, we shall, doubtless,
see lis'ely times in (Congress very .soon.
There can be but one coram >n ground j
upon which all the factious of the Rad
ical party can stand, so far as this Issue
is concerned, and that is a consolidation
of the pttWc debt. But if they da unite
upon this basis, they will be driven ,
from power, because the people will i
then be able to perceive that it is the
policy of Radicalism to fasten the debt j
upon the country without any design
or hope of eventual cancellation.
Hence, in the height of their success,
in the very flush of victory, the Radi
cals stand upon the verge of defeat.—
The A word of Damocles is suspended
above their heads and the hair that do- I
tains the sharp and fatal blow is brittle
a glass. Will it not be snapped ere j
lour years more of the history of the
party shall be written ?
Co.vVicTED.—Henry Bear a resident
of St. Clair Township, was last week
convicted of fraudulent voting and sen
tenced to three months imprisonment
in thecounty jail and a fineof fifty dol
lars. His offence was voting twice,
once in Napier township and after
ward in St. Clair. He seems to have
l>een intoxicated and made the tool of
certain over zealous eopi-erhead-, but
itdidn't -ave Seymour nor Kimmell
either. We ho|>e when the real offen
ders and responsible parlies in theca-e
are found that they may get the full
benefit of the law. There is no great
er danger threatening our free institu
tions to day than the frauds |>erpetra
ted at the ballot Itox, and wherever the
instigators of such crimes are found
they should be more severely punish
ed than their ignorant dupes. Quite a
number of fraudulent copperhead votes
were polled at the last election and we
hojie every one of the offenders may
be made to feel the rigors of the law.—
Bedford Inquirer.
As several persons are under bond to
appear in the courts to answer the
charge of procuring the above-named
Bear to vote fraudulently, we had not
intended to print anything upon the
subject. But the foregoing requires a
few words of explanation.
The Inquirer says that Bear was "in
toxicated" at the time he duplicated
his vote. We have no doubt of it.
Drunken men are said to "see double,"
and naturally are inclined to vote ,
double.
Bear, however, was not "convicted." j
He plead guilty. He did this contrary
to the advice of his counsel, and as it
is generally believed, at the instance
of one of the counsel for the Common
wealth, who asked the court to make
the sentence as light as possible. Why
this sudden affection of the prosecuting
counsel for this self-eonfessed criminal
Bear? Why this anxiety of the coun
sel, i the fir-t letters of whose name are
John Cessna,) to have this horrid trans
gressor of the law so lightly punished ?
"Thereby hangs a tale."
Bear had turned State's evidence!
He had made information against Bur
ton Edsall ar.d Adam Earnest, who, he
alleges, procured him to go to St. Clair
tp., to vote, after he had already voted
in Napier. As he had, under the ad
vice of Itadical politicians, agreed to
swear these parties into trouble, he
was no longer a "tool of over zealous
copperheads," but, if a tool of anybody,
that of malignant and vindictive Radi
cals. Of course, front that time for
ward he was all right with the "trooly
loiI," and deserved only "the lightest
punishment tiie court can inflict."
But if this man was drunk when
he committed the fraud which he has
confessed, how can he swear, with any
degree of accuracy, as to what occurred
between him and Edsall or Earnest? —
Is such a man's evidence to destroy
the good name of a reputable citizen V
Is such a man the witness upon whom
the great apostle of Temperance, John
Cessna, relies for evidence to destroy
the good name of his neighbors?
We fully agree with the Inquirer that
Bear's duplicated vote did not "save
Kiuttnell or Seymour." It was not at
all calculated to serve so good a pur
pose. It amounted to just two votes
for Cessna and Grant, as can easily he
proved. There is not a well-posted
Democrat in St. Ciair tp.. who does
not know that Bear voted the Radical
ticket. He may have been intoxicated,
as the Inquirer says ai d may not have
known what tie was doing, but he did
that very thing, nevertheless. We
hope, however, that our Radical friends
will not get ali their "repeaters" to
come forward and plead guilty, as Bear
has done, for in that case the jail would
have to be enlarged and an additional
tax laid to pay for the boarding of such
gentry. We are, therefore, inclined to
believe that the Inquirer is only joking
when it hopes that "every one of the
offenders may be made to bear the rig
ors of the law." W> would, however,
advise our Democratic friend- through
out the county to report some of the
most flagrant casesof fraudulent voting,
to the chairman of the County Com
mittee, J. W. Dickerson, Esq., so that
an example may l>e made in behalf ot
justice and the purity of the ballot-oox.
Look them up, friends, and let justice,
not vengeance, have its full and unim
peded sway.
KI-KOXUEIt!
After the election of 1864 the Demo
crats had the Governor of hut a single
State in the Union, Delaware. Braru
lette, of Kentucky, was not then a
Democrat, having been elected by
what was called the "Union" party.
After the election of 1868, we have the
Governors of Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey. Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky and California. We have
also recovered the state of Oregon,
which east its vote for Seymour, and
the states of Georgia ami Louisiana, by
immense mojorities. These three
states will have Democratic Governors
in another year, which will give us the
control of the executive power in ten
states. This shows the recuperative
energy of the Iteiuocracy. Next year
we shall defeat Geary, which will bring
Pennsylvania once more into line.
We are growing stronger. Courage,
Democrats! Forward in the good
cause! Now is the time for effect i ve wort.
Your neighbors' beads are eool at pres
ent. Talk with them.
Some eager sight-seers or office-hun

There is growing up in the Radical
party, quite a spirited opposition to the
re-nomination of Gov. Geary. We find
*
the following in a recent number of
Fitzgerald's Philadelphia City Item, a
Radical Journal of high standing :
"Poor Geary is traveling and begging
day and night to secure a re nomina
tion. He coaxes, implores, f promi.-es,
threatens, whines and cries. Never
before has such a spectacle been seen
in this .State. Mr. W. W. Ketchum
and Gen. Harry White, of Indiana,
are his competitors—both abler and
better men, and neither of them liars."
That is pretty plain talk. Brother
Radicals should not thus wash each
other's dirty linen in public. Let us
have peace!

THE DAILY MORNING PATRIOT.—
This is the largest morning daily pub

decidedly the Inst news journal that
comes to our office. It receives not
only the Associated Press despatches,
but also special reports front ali parts j
of the country. The latest foreign
news, by the Atlantic cable, is regular
ly reported for its columns. The
markets are made a specialty, and we
hazard nothing in saying that its re
ports of lite cattle markets of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts
burg and Chicago, are fuller than those
of any other daily paper. It is served .
here by carrier at 75 cents per month,
and sent to subscribers by mail at £7.1X1
per annum. The carrier serves the
PATRIOT printed in the morning at
noon of the same day. No other daily
paper reaches here on the day upon
which it is printed; hence the news of
the PATRIOT is always a day later to
subscribers here than that of other
dailies.
THE OI.L GUARD, FOR 1869.— The

The l.unl*lann Election.
NEW ORLEANS, November 20. —'The |
returns telegraphed some days ago as
the official vole of the State was the
vote returned to the office of the Secre
tary of State. Yesterday the Gover
nor, Secretary of State, and the Judge j
of the Second Judicial District examin
ed the returns, and declared the result
of the election. They threw out the
entire vote of the parishes of Avoyelles, J
West Feliciana, Franklin, Jackson,
Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, Sabine,
St. John the Baptist, it. Martin, Ter
rebonne, and Washington, for inform
ality in the manner of making the re
turns, and decided that no legal returns
have been received from tho-eparishes,
making the entire voie for Grant, as
returned by them, 27,911, and for Sey
mour 41,358. Notwithstanding the re
jection of the vote of those parishes,
the Democratic Congressmen are de
clared elected front all but the Second
District. In the latter district only
the parishes of Lafourche, St. Charles,
! and St. James are counted, giving the
i certificate to Sheldon for the full term,
and to Manard (negro) for Mann's un
expired term. Hunt's majority in the
Second District for both terms is near
ly 10,000. In the First District St
Martin's majority over Sypher is re
duced by the rejection from 9,400 to
653. The Itepublimn this evening says
| there is some ambiguity in the law as
to who the returning officers for the
parish of Orleans are. The report of
| the proceedings of the Governor's
Committee shows some diversity of
: opinion us to the construction of the
law. __ r—
Jiidjrf I'tiave Hum tuny with tlx* Iron
t ltxl oath.
Chief Justice Chase, in the Supreme
Court, at Richmond, decided that the
iron-clad oath should not be adminis
tered to the grand jurymen, as it rath
: er hindered than furthered the ends of
justice. A new grand jury was then
summoned on this decision, and will
only take the oath to support the Con
' stitulion of the United States.
This decision is eminently wise and
proper. Under the iron-clad oath very
few of the more intelligent white men
of the South could be sworn as jurors.
Chief Justice Chase has acted wisely in
doing away with it, and all honest and
sensible men will heartily approve of
what he ha# done.— Lancaster InteLi

llow often do you hear the coin- '
plaint from mother and father that
iiitir non <ir daughter is not well : that
they have no appetite; that they feel
languid ; that their Utul aches; that
they are growing thin and feeble, and
that they have no life or energy left. "
That they are low-spirited, and per
fectly incapacitated to participate in any i
pleasures, to perforin any incntal or
physical duty. And the question is
often asked, what shall I do for them ?
or, what shall 1 give them? Our an
swer is, let them try Plantation liit
ters moderately three times a day, and
our word for it they will recover.
