nominee. , Hie nomination was the
result of a general feeling throughout
at' State that the gallant soldiers of
-the, Republic hatre the highest claims

the .4rar broke out, and during its

to the soldiers:that when the warlwas
!over those whb bore the burden and
; beat of the; day, who braved peril,'
'Wilkins and privations should hot be
J'argotten, but should fill the offices
,throughout 'the country they fought
to protopt and save; The State Con
vention last year nominated two gal.
_taut soldiers,,and reaffirmed by reso-
intion the pledge before given. They
,
'•eandidates n ominated - were elected by

'ed So long; as we keep the promises
made to 'the • heroes of the war, so
ziong 'will we be sifecessful. ' Wu. will
',be candid in this 'matter. We; in

as tob - recent from tlie ,Democr4le

' that proa.pted its to prefer a

. -
We are satisfied' now; however, frovn
the pledges be has made,from the fact
tbst we have eirme -learned he voted
for Ahrahafn Lincoln; that be can be
*oliell on, and therefore say we can
'support him cheerfully. . The Unien
'party cannot, in view of these pledges,
discriminate in favor of a civilian as
agaenst a capable soldier ofthe party.
The Congress of the United States,
the Unii;n party , of Penns,ylvania,and
•of the whole country, have pledged
themselves to a contrary cohrici.—

Relater Clymer
The nomination of Relater Clymer,'
'of Berke county, by the 'Democracy,
glees-us great satisfaction. He is the
man of others . the Union men oFI
the State desired should ba the Email.'
_ripe.- ere are many reasons for our

_ mer
, is a fair representativo• of the
party` in this Mate. He has been its
leadei daring all the years. of the, re
-hellion, and his record is the recordof
the party. Ho was , in tho State Senate
when th 4 war commenced, is there
now and at all times was a consistent
representative of tho ultra views of
his Pitrty. He opposed every measure
Tioposed by the Union men to aid the
government in crushing out rebellion,
even voted: against giving the Haig
- of, the lime to Andrew ;Johrson,
niow. President of the United States,
to delivers, speech in; contrary to all
precedents, because Andrew Johnsen'
was a Tennessee loyalist. Personal-.
4„,Clymer is a -very fair 'mail: He is
a limn of . g?,adtcharacter f . More than
'ordinary atoms., a good ,talker, and
pleasing a4dress. Until within the
