Colonel Davis, the Democratic candi
date fur Auditor General, is a hero of
two wars, IVlten the shock of arms
broke over thi. country from the plains
of Mexico, in 1346, he shouldered his
mu4kot and marched to the defence of
the star-spangled banner, coverint; him
self with honor in that meliorable
strugate. Taking hi" life 'in his hand,
ha went out, upon the shores of that
foreign country, and made himself n
name and a fame that. to this day, is
dear to every Aauerican citizen who
sdiiiireA true valdr{n behalf of a righteous
cause. Ilicen the war War's . - ended he
returned to his native landiatut in - the
peaceful pursuits of life, ho made Mm
self as honored and respected as ll be had
been bold and fearles. upon the ibattle
field. With the warrior's courge he
mingled the energy of the citizen, and
became a useful, honorable, and upright
man.
When the strife between the North
and South culminated ih the late bloody
war which has deluged the land in blood,
Mr. Davis, believing that Congress was
sincere in its declaration that the war
W 3 ,1 to be waged only for the restoration
of the Union and the enforcement of the
laws, and 'that when there objects were
accomplished the strife should cease,
laid aside the editorial pen which he
had long wielded with power and effect,
and dropping the mantle of peace, which
he had worn since the close of the Mex
ican war, resumed the garb of the
soldier, and entered the ranks with the
determination to do his duty MCC more
under the old flag, so long as the war
was carried on in defence of the Consti
tution and the laws of the land.
Through, a multitude of'battles he car
4ried himself right, gallantly, and at the
seigc of Charleston he lost his right
hand by ,the .bullets of the enemy. Iu
this second war he proved 'himself as
gallant a soldier as ever drew 'a sword,
and *ell sustained the reputation he had
won in-a foreign field against a foreign
foe.
This is the innn whom the Democracy
have presented to the people of Penn
sylvania as their candidate for Auditor
greneral—a man wh6se courage is be
yond a doubt, whose patriotism has
...never been impeached, and whose
ability is beyond question. Mr. Davis,
is a DemOcrat in whom theitis no guile,
and, as'editor of the Doylest Demo
crat, his blows for the „party have been
heaVy andoffeCtive, and have been most
1.• severely felt in the abolition ranks.
Surely if any man deserves reward at
the hands of the Democratic party and
the people of Pennsylvania, it is he.
'Opposed to him, the abolitionists
have given us I General Hartranft, a man
who all his lift bad been a Democrat
until the breaking out of the war affor
ded him en opportunity to, Eseu like,
sell his birthright, for a mesa of pottage.

the term 'of the regiment had expired,
although perticalorl, and especially re-' 1

by the general . commanding. His
latest achievement was the banging of
Mrs, i

account, this man has been a pet of the' ,
administration ever since the war begun>

disposition, and his willingness to do
the dirty work of his masters His fit

nomiekeed is a matter of ettneme doubt,
his qualifications being rather of a sub

Our candidate . for Surveyor General,
Colonel Linton, is new suffering from
par.alysis occasioned by wounds received
in the service, while his opponent, Col-
onel Campbell never even saw a battle.
We mention there things'. bticatme the

, In this connthtion we call our readers'
attention to the following:
Cot se tnesexa.,—lt may interest the curi

a scratch, and, still retains a whole skin.
Curiops ain't it •
'' hor's Fainnut_'_".—Under this head-'
ing the last.issue of the Abolition organ
in this place has•a weak fling at our can
didate for Treasurer. "Lop" seems to
be a great obstacle to the success of the
Abolition ticket, , Und his "friends"are so
numerous. so enthusiastic, and to well
organized, that they see in the • future
nothing but certain and overwhelming
defeat. We give our abolition feliow
citizens fair notice that " Lop's friends"
will stand by him through thick anal,
thin, and they will make him Treasurer
of Centre county on the 10th day of '
October next.
We confess we arc proud of our can
didate—the Democracy of Centre county
arc proud of him. Ills name on „Our
ticket adds a strength to it which all
the hosts of abolitionism . will not be
able to break over, and which will carry
us to victory in October as sure as to
morrow's snn shall rise.
The-secret is "Lop's friends" are de
voted to,him personally as well as polit
cony. He is one of those genial souls
who bind their friends to thou by ties
stronger than mere polit;eal attachment
or personal interest, and he will not only
command every Demoeiatic vote in the
county, but lie will'make severe inroads_
on the ranks of the conservative Repub
licans, many of whom are his devoted
personal friends. The retur*ed soldiers,
too, will poll a heavy vote for Lop; for,
notwithstanding the abolition twaddle
abotli our candidate's copperheadism, it
is 411 known that our soldiers had n't a
better"friend in the county than be, or
4ne who contributed more to their corn
fort and support, even among those who
professed to be the especial friends of the
soldier. His record is ai clear as a pure
spring on a winter morning, and not a
blot or blemish can be found .on his Rer-
Bonal or political escutchedn.
Oh, yes—" Lop's lticads" arc wide
awake, and they do not *end to sleep
any until after the election—until they
see him safely installed into the Treasu
rership of Centre county. They are
now "laughing in their sleeves" at the
apparently herculean but really puny
efforts that are now making to defeat
him, and will carry him in triumph, not
only high above his competitor, but fat
beyond the reach of partisan malignity
and rancor.
Unhappily for our abolition ne'ghbors,
" Lop's friends" are legion, and they
wipecover this county on election day as
did Ithe locusts the plains of Egypt in
the days of the wicked Kip: l'haroah.
Tax-Payers Remember
Tax-payers remember that during the
short time the abolitionists had the
board of Commissioners they invol
ved our county in a debt of upwards
!
of ONE . HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ; and that since tgrlocession
of the Democracy to power, nothwith
standing the increased expenses caused
by the war, this amotua has bum r
doted almost half, and at the present
rate of canceling it, the whole debt
, w 172 be paid off in itta than five years.
Do you wish to be out of debt? Do you
' wish to be clear of paying interest on
the moody borrowed by an abolition
board of Commissioners? Vote for,
and continue. in power the party that
lige during the past four years reduced
the county debt. some SEVENTY rtes
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
LABORBltBi—Recollect that in suppor
ting the abolition ticket, you help to
r make yourselves liable-for the taxes of
the rich, by voting to exempt the , mon
ey they have investedin "bonds" from
taxation? Are you in favor of doing

A. Boyd Hutchison, Esq., must hale it,
and Major Cheesman receive his per
cent. for being the instrument to secure
the place for him. This is the man that
A. Boyd Hutchison "knows could at
tend to the terribly perplexing duties of
the office.•' And who is he ? What are
6,4 qualifications for filling the position
of de'puty county Treasurer? A little
instance may serve to illustrate.
During the spring of 1860, the board
of County Commissioners--all abolition
ists--deterrnined to have the Unseated
Land books belonging to the county,cop
ied, a job that would occupy the time of
any ordinary penruan and book keeper
about two weeks. "A splendid set of
beund blank lx;oks, costing upwards of
$75, were procured, and Mr. A. Boyd
Ilittehison was chosen to do the work.
After a month or so the books were
declared finished, and his bill,amounting
to over two hundred and twenty-fire
liollars, cashed. No inspection was made
of the work, it being taken for granted
that all- watt -right, A short time- after
wards it became necessary to refer to
the Unseated Land books, and the new
ones—the copy made by Mr. A. Boyd
Hutchison, Esq., were brought forth,
when lo and behold not a single one of
them could be used. The penmanship
was so poor, the figures so imperfect,
the work so full of errors. and so bung
lingly and carelessly done that they
were thrown aside, as useless, and, to
day lie in the vaults of the Commissi4u
ens' office as proof - of the incompetency
of this would be deputy Treasurer.
Such are the facts. Thp tax•payers
of the county paid the two lundred. and
twenty-five ddllars, an7l A. 'Boyd flutch
son pocketed them without rendering any
equivalent iclutterer for the amount. In
fact the county would have been better off
to have paid him for letting the job alone,
as the books would have not been spoil
ed, and could have been put to sonic
use; as they are, nothing can be done
with them, and they are of nu possible
benefit!
This is the man that is to be deputy
Treasurer, provided Cheesnian should
be elected. Arc our tux-payers willing
to entrust ,so important an office into
such hands? While Cheesman is ad
mitted by all to be unfit foram position,
llutehiAnyescanne# be elnimed to be any
bettmgruilified, and it is between these
two men and J. Dunlop Shugert, whose
experience in the office.and.whose natu
ral ability to fill it, males him second
to no one tirthe county—that the voters
must choose. If they want a man qual
ified in every respect for the position
whose abilities his bitterest enemy can
not doubt, they will vote for Shugert.

Who Are the Friends of the Soldier ?
A Record of Facts.
- 1111.6 I u.
On the first dny 'of April, 1864, the fol
lowing bill came tip forconsitlerntion in the
Muse of flepresetitativett. (we copy from
the Levislatire Record, 18U4, iinteb 52.4.) It
wed rend as follows :
'Siterioe I. Reenter , ' by the .c.offre fool linear
CteltfOlrferfgt...h 1:L4 4 ,4.-
71r tttttttt tienernl As•tuouly sate, hat our
Senators in Congress are hereby instructed, and
cur Representatives requested to urge the Imine
di•te pasrnge of a hisw allowing •co every pri
sate and nun-commissioned officer now in, or
that may hereafter be Idled into the military
sehf lee of the rnited States, an increaw of lofty
during the present war, and that the So, er
nor forward to each of our Senator, and Rep
resentativea a copy of this resolution.
As soon as the bill was taken up, Mr.
Hakes, Democrat, moved to amend by stri
king out the , koids "increase of pay," and
inserting "one dollar per day '' Subse
qiiently, Mr. Meyers, of Bedford, a Verne
erotic member, moved to amend the amt
anent so as to snake it read . not less limn
one dollar per day."
From the start it was the manifest deter
mination of the Abolition majority of the
House, that no resolution favoring en In
crease of pay to the private soldier should
pass. Speeches were made against it by
Walton, Kelley and Cochran, all Abolieion
lets, whilst the increase of pay was advoca—
ted by ]lakes, Searight, Purdy, Meyers,
and other Democrats.
The proposition of Mr. Meyers was voted
down—every Democrat voting for it, and
every Abolitionist against.
Then came the amendment of Mr. blokes,
when %Ir. Cochran, of Philadelphia, Aboli
tionist, moved to amend - by inserting ••one
hundred dollars per month, or such other
sum an they (Congress) may determine
upon.'•
This absurd amendment was designed to
defeat the whole measure. Congress, but a
short time before, had refused to give the
soldiers increased pay, by voting down a
resolution offered by Mr. Dennison, a Dem
ocratic member from Pennsylvania. The
sum that Abolition Congress had
uppn as the pay of the privates in the
field, was thirteen dollars per month and 110
more. This the Abolition majority at Ilar-t'
risburg well knew. ;The object of the
Democrats in the Legiblature write rebuke
this nrggarduess at Washington, and, in the
name of the state, demand, a fair compensa
tion for our soldiers.
Mr., Watson, an Abolition member front
Philadelphia, made a long speech, arguing
thaf to pay the soldier a dollar a day would
ruin the country, and, along with his polit
ical brethhrn, took a close dollar and cent
view of the subject.
Cochran's amendment was adopted, rises
defeating the object of the joint resolution.
So the Abolitionistd.intended, and so it was
understood. •
In the face of these facts, the /farrist.urs
Tekgraph, which lies from, the mere love of
the thing, charges the Democratic minority
In the House, In 1864, with defeating the
joint resolution for the increase of' pay:
In doing this it deliberately ind mali
ciously falsifies the proceedings. It was
Cochran's amendment, and not the original
joint resolution, which Mr. Hopkins,
Democratic member, denounced. Absurd
as the proposition was made, every Demo- ,
,eras Poled for it, rather than let the matter
all altogether.
This was not the first attempt made by
the Democratic members of the House to
secure an increase of pay to our Soldiers.
Oa the 13th of January, 1864, in the second
week only of the session, Mr. Alexander,
(Democrat), of Clarion offered a joinives
elution on the subject, which, instead of
passing, the majority bad referred to the
militia committee.
On March 9th, following, Mr. Nelson,
Democrat, of Wayne, offered a preamble
and resolutions in favor of paying the pri
vate soldier additional wages, so ea to bring
his pay to the gold standard. A long de
bate ensued, which assumed a ,political
character, and the resolution's were not
passed•
In the Senate, through an act of usurps
thot onthr part of the Abolition party, no
organisation was dfested till in the sprint,
after the session commenced. When that
body was orgialsed, the Depoaratio Sena
tors unanimously voted for an increase of
pay to our moldier.. .Any statement, to the

York Tr4l,llllr of yesterday says, editorially:
..The Chairman oT the Democratic State
Committee of Pennsylvania publishes an
address, in which he Kaye that in that State
the reel issue is negro equalily and negro
suffrage. * * * Negro suffrage is a
matter belonging to the laws, and to he de
cided by the people It is pertinent far the
people of Penneylvonitt to peso upon it, and
we had hoped, when we read the circular
of the Deuniiiittie Chairmen, 'het he had
mated the issue plainly. The Republican,
Chairman, Mr Cessna (a convert from De
mocracy of about! two years standing, end
mentioned k as a Democratic candidate for
Senator at the time Mr. Buck:dew was cho
sen), denies this allegation. and says that
negro suffrage is not 'and could not possibly
be an issue in the October contest.' We are
sorry to see Mr. Cessna shirk a point so
frankly and justly pressed upon him. If
negro aurragr Is 40 t the issue in l'ennsytrunia,

The same paper, in another editorial,
says „ :
"The Philadelphia Copperheads are much
afraid that if Mr. Me %helmet is elected
Mayor he will make the negroes policemen.
It seems 3lr McMichael very frankly said

his patronage without regard to nationality

finds a good, capable colored man fur pa
