Republicans of Centre what do you
intend to do ? Are you working for
the success of Gov. GEARY, HoN,.
WILLIAMS, and the redemption of
Centre county, or have you determin
ed to adopt the do-nothing, policy—
say you can't—and thus suffer the
Democrats to elect their candidates, to
inflict upon the State and Nation their
free trade dogmas; their secession or
State Rights theories, and there pet
scheme of repudiation ? We cannot be
lieve that you will adopt the do-noth
ing policy. We believe that you have
resolved to work as you have never
worked before to save the State and
the county from the disgrace of a Dem-.
c . cratic triumph.
All that is required to break up and
hurl from power the contemptible
"Court House Ring"is work—earnest,
energetic
.work. Every man should be
at his post. His duty, or the duty of
each and every one should be well de
'Lined and each and every one should
perform that duty faithfully and well.
Let their be no heart—burnings, no
feuds, no 'apathy in Centre county.
Close up the ranks and On to victory,
glorious victory.
The Pittsburg- Gazette in speaking
on this subject says : "The Republi'
cans of Penn'a are apathetic and in—
different—the.' Democrats are not.
Never were they more vigilant and
laborious than at this very moment:
If hard and persistent work will give
them the crown of victory in October,
they mean to win and weir it.
True, they are not making an active
campaign, in' the ordinary meaning of
that term; nor do they intend to make
such an one unless forced into it, by
movements on the Republican side.
They believe their chances to be better
with a "still hunt"than with a"loud"
hunt. For many years past they have
joined in well defined issues, have
gone before the people, with all the
powers of argumentation and appeal
they could master,and have-been beat
en at all points. Repeated 'defeats
have not only taught them
_caution,
but have dictated the employment of
a different' strategy.
They are aware that the Republi
cans, in a certain sense, are sated With
victories, and lulled, by over confi
dence, that their ascendancy cannot
be shaken. 'These are both - delusive
and perilous states of mind for individ
uals or parties,eharged in any manner
with high missions,to fall into. While
they remain therein, they are, with
comparative
. ease, taken at disa-tivan
tage and overcome.'
What is most needed, just now, is
for the leaders of the Republican or
ganization to take an exact view of the
situation and then adopt the measures
which are needful. The masses await
the signals of those they have oho.
sen for that, purpose, and are impa
tient to respond to any proper call up
on their activity.
The Republieans of the State can
not afford at this crisis to lose the Gov
ernor and thefbalanee of power in the
Supreme Court. Important measures
remain to be
,consummated, and vital
principles to be.established by judicial
decrees. • • •
A year-from next winter the State
will have to be divided into Congres
sional and Legislative disk's. To sur
render this power into the hands of the
Democrats, isrill be to remit the State
into their possession to be wrenched
away again only by prodigious outlays
.of time and effort.
Tn view of all the facts we appeal to
- Eter , u.blicans, here and throughout the
Commonwealth,to shake off their ap
athy, to cease bickerings and con
tentions, to promptly close up their
ranks, and.enter vigorously upon the
work before them. A - simultaneous
:nset, such as we made last year, and
an several previous eceasions, will
quickly decide the fate of the field in
our favor. 'Up, men 1 and at them !"
THE most significant alliteration of

Tennessee. Election.
The Democrats are crowing over
th,eTennessee election. We cannot see
what they have to erow over. Both
the candidates for GOerner, SENTER
and- gran's, declared themselves to
be radical Republicads. SEbrrEu,aided
by . Goiernor BRONSTNLOW, • has been
elected by a large majority, on a plat
form advocating "Universal suffrage;
and universal amnesty." HonAcE
Grammy, of course, did all he could
for the election of -,'ENTER.. What
.then have Democrats to crow over if
it is not the fact that more negros
voted for SENTER than for .Srog.Es ?-
It would seem that they are only op
posed to negro suffrage,'WhetiGllMßO'
votes . the Radical ticket; but if he
will vote so as to favor the rebeis,then
our northern copperheads throw up
their hats an "Ror for the nigger.",
Poor devils it is so long since they
have had any thing . to crew over, that
they are `.•thankful for smelt favors,"
and are willing• e,ven• to go back: to

the dusky daughters of Afric's • - sun- -

them the sugar teat of power, and

evidence of all this is 'needed than the

EDITORS
It proves one thing to a demonstra
tion, that is, that the Democratic
party have no .princiles, and that the
leaders in Penn'a would import from
Virginia, Tennessee &c., enough of
their colored fellow citizens, to secure
the election of A-SY PACKER, if it
were in their power to do so. Out
upon such hypocrite.
UNDER the caption of,"P's for the
Democracy," we find the following
good things in the Erie Gaze*:
Asa Packer made his money by buying
coal lands cheap and waiting for advan
cement. He can lose it all by buying
nominations dear and wating
_for elec
tion.
In the late National Democratic Con
vention, when Judge Woodward pro
posed* Asa Packer as a nominee for
President., the universal 'whisper was
—"Who in is Asa Packer?"—
After the next election the general
inquiry will bc—"Where in . —is
Asa Packer?"
If Asa Packer is the "poor man's
candidate" because he has $20,000,-
000, how much more does he need* to
be the" rich man's candidate 7"
A pill for Packer—the seventh plank
of his platform, which declal es that
the Democracy should"gratefully re
member" the soldiers. How can he
swallow it and try to beat a soldier
candidate ?"
A Democratic exchange, speaking
of Asa Packer's nornination,says: "It
was a sensible thing in the State Con
vention to select a man possessing both
dollars and sense." Exactly, the dol
lars come ahead of his sense, a long
ways, or else he never would have
been nominated. It now remains to
be seen whether his dollars weigh more
than the sense of the people,
As a packer, Asa Packer cast over
Cass, an overcast that cast over a $lOO,-
000 pack. The people will now cast
Packer and Packer's pack where Cass
was cast, and thus as a packer, Asa
Packer will be overcast.
The Pennsylvania Democracy have
nominated twenty millions dollars for
Governor. It is not intended to make
them all Governors, only what is left
of them after the campaign is ever.—
Step up, gentlemen, and vote for your
golden calf.
The new Democratic cry of "let us
have P's"—means, literally, let us
have a piece of Asa Packer,s money
bags. The demand is so general that
it will take a good many p's to go
round.
ROSECRANS DECLINES. —lt is im
possible for Democrats to get a re
spectable soldier to run on their ticket.
Gen. HANCOCK refused to be their
candidate for Governor in this State.
Gen. ROSECRANS has declined the hon
or in Ohio. The fact is, their princi
ples do not suit respectable soldiers.—
PACIU,R and ITALLANDIGEL42I are their
representative men—the men that ful
ly represent their principles. Oh ! De
mocracy, how art thou fallen; how dis
loyal, disreputable, dispised and des ,
picable thou art !
MEEK'S TRAVELS. — It is and old
adage that "silence gives consent."
Judged by this rile we haire nailed
both MEEK and HOSTERMAN and es
tablished the truth of what we publish
ed in relation to MEEK'S travels and
his slanderous attacks upon his friends
and competitors. No man can fight
the truth. MEEK knows this.
Hence his silence. He and Ho STER
MAN must try again or stand convict ,
ed before the bar of the intelligent
people of Penn'a.
GET up CLITBS. —We hope that our
friends in each of the townships will
go to work to secure us a list of sub
scribers for the campaign. The price
of the Republican for three Months is
—5O cts. Every memberof the party
should subscribe for it. We appeal to
Post Masters and others to get up
clubs for the Republican.

is immensely - rich. Eta-ig.said to be
worth twenty millions of dollars. It is
this groat wga lth, th at has .given him.
position and secured him the nomina
tion as in other respects he is a very
ordinary man—not remarkable for tal
ent erdistinguished for public service
of any sort.
Twenty millions of dollars is a large
sum for any one man to accumulate in
a life time. It could met have been
accumulated by honest labor, In Judge
Packer's case his collosal fortune Was
built up in the -sweat of other men's
bi•ott*rather than his own. He hemline
rich by grhtding the face of the poor.
As a proof of this We propose to refer
WI( to some incident's business
career which:km come to'our k nOwl
`edge 'from reliable sources,
Twenty six years ago Asa Packer's
business. • was that of boating on iihe
Lehigh and Delaware Canals. He
made large contracts to ship' coal to
Nevi York and - Philadelphia. He own
ed a number of.boats himself, and in
order, to fulfil.his•contracts, hired all
:the boats and boatmen he could .get at
MY much a ton for transportation, But
it-,seems that - this "Poor Man's Can
didate, not pay his then livid g pri
ces, and a general 'strike' of the boat
Men employed•by.him was the cease ,
quence. It further.appesirs that while
this strike Was going, on ..11Tr. Packer
attempted to break it up by forcing the
men to Work for hini at half pay. He
visited South Easton where the boats
'were lying moored during the strike,
and attempted -in person to compel his
men to go to work at the old rates.--
But so violent was:the feeling
the
him. that -he was seized by the nie'n,
thrown into the Lehigh; and would have
been drowned,but for a timely rescue. So
exasperated were the boatmen against
Packer, that they-drove the man who
lad saved his life from the ground
with•stones, This incident is well re
membered by the :older, residents of
Easton and by all the old boatmen on
the Lehigh: They characterize, Pack
er as a' hard man—reapinYwhere . he
had not sown and gathering Where he
had not strewed. There are. hundred's
of Democrats in Carbon and.adjoining.
counties Who will refuse to vote for
him on that account.
The following*artieles, copied from
the Easton Whig - of 1843,gave a short
history of the Boatmen's strike on the
Lehigh Canal, in that year,•against
the low wages and low freight policy
of Packer and the coal and transpor
tation .COmpanie6 in which he was in
terested : • •

A STRIKE FOR HIGHER WAGES.
The boatmen engage . cl in the trans
portation of coal for Mauch Chunk
and other conipatiieS in . thit region,
have- tied up their - boats •at South
Easton and refuse to continue in the
service until an advance of prices is
allowed. - Three hundred boats are
moored in and near South Easton,and
six or eight hundred boatmen and
hands have been idling, around there
for several days. To their credit it
must be said that so far fhey have con
ducted themselves quietly and order
ly. They say the prices now paid for
transportation are too low to enable
them to support themselves and fami
lies, and that they are compelled to
ask an advance. They have heretofore
received
. 50 cents per ton in good
money for transporting to Philadel
phia, and they now demand 77 cents
and a proportionate advance for all in
termediate places.
[Front the Easton, Whig July 19 1543.]
THE COAL TRADE
The difficulty between the boatmen
engaged in the transportation of coal
and the Companies, have not yet been
removed. The Companies do not it
appears, consider themselves able to
grant -the advance in prices asked.—
Nearly all the boats engaged in the
coal trade, about 400 in number, are
now moored opposite this place. The
empty boats lie in the dam, and pre
sent the appearance of a floating vil
lage ; the loaded ones are in the canal
and cover an extent of about two
miles,—On Saturday forenoon the
boatmen visited our borough in pro
cession with, music and banners.
About - 200 were mounted on horses,
and as many more were on foot. The
procession -was beaded by the towpath
or driver boys, 'and the rear was
brought up by a large number mount
ed on mules. The whole presented
an unusual and very singular appear
ance,and caused quite an excitement.
The horses, with two exCePtionS Were
rode without saddles and guided with
halters, and many of the men were
barefooted and appeared to be in want
of new shirts, allot' which had a ten
dency to excite a sympathetic feeling
in: favour.
[From the Easton Whig of July 26, 1843.]
All the coal boats continue idle at
South Easton and its vicinity. A ma•
jority of the. boatmen have gone home
and entered into other employnient.
[F , ont the EaBtfilt Whiz of A aid. 2, 1843.]
The exciteinent, created by the large
number of-boatmen -rho continuo' at
this place on :a strike rose to quite a
threatening aspect ou Monday and yes
terday, and•from all appearances a cri
sis is near at hand. On Monday morn
ing, Asa Packer, owner of some of the
boats, who resides in Mauch Chunk,
attempted to move them off, when, he
was seized and thrown into the Lehigh
river, and another person who assisted
him out. was afterwards driven from
the groundWithstonesPpcdsses were
issued for the apprehension of the lea
ders, kit the • officers were • not able
to apprehend. them. Yesterday the
Mauch Chunk Company had a confer
ence with a committee of the boatmen,
but no arrangement could be effected
to remove the unfortunate state of.
things. The boatmen, the companies
and the State are sustaining a great loss
by the suspension of coal trade,
which has already lasted for two or
three weeks. - The. peace as well as the
interest of the community require
that the evil should be removed and
the.laws be enforced and respected.
[From the EaLlio2l Whig of dug. 30,1343.]
After a delay of more than two
months the usual activity and bustle of
business is again seerialon.b the line of
the Mauch Chunk canal. The Coin
-panies have agreed to pay the boat
men 10 cents per ton in addition to
their former rates of freight, together
with their allowance of other minor ad
vantages.
KENTUCKY is rapidly approaching
the verge of civilization. About twenty
Union mon have been elected to the

EpS. IiErtnLICAN :—Since I came
here ) I often thought I would like to
tell you something relative to the sen
timents of the people of this part of the
state, and I think what I say of them
here, might be said of all the citizens
throughout the State.
In the first'place I will tell you that
1 was appointed a Registrar of this
Dist. by Gen Canby, and entered on
that duty on the 14th of June. This
work ended on the Ist of July. I was
also en election officer for the District.
I w..ts there on election day s the 6th of
July, That day ended the business as
far as I was concerned, During this
time I had a fine opportunity to learn
all about the feelings of the people,and
1 did not alloW an opportunity to pass
by unimproved. I iblind the people
very willing to tell me what they tho' t
and believed.
It is not my object nor purpose to
complain of these rebels because they
have done, just what anybody else Ivo'
do in a similar situation.. The'election
is over, and the
_rebels have it all their
own - way, so far as I have heard, which
is nothing more than any ought to have
expected, as they had nothing to op
pose them except a few " carpet-hag
ers," "scalairags," and the "ignorant
negroes." All I intend to say about the
rebels now, is, that they are a thous
and times more bitter enemies of the
U. S. Government and the Union par
ty now, than they were in 1861. In
1961 . all the old Whigs were opposed,.
to secesssion, and a'few of them voted
against it. Many young Whigs were
afraid to vote against it and,therefore,
did not do so. - Many of them say now,
"they did as little for the success of
the rebels as they possibly cella
This shows that the Government had
some friends in the South in 1861 and
during the war. Now let us see how
it is with them to day : In this county
there were only three white men who
voted against the rebels—so I am told,
andi have reason to believe it—two
from Penn'a. and one from Ohio. All
the - Whigs have joined' the rebels, and
the rebs are bent on the destruction of
the country. They claim that seces
sion was and is right, and the rebellion
must triumph. They say. emancipa-
tion of slaves was an outrage upon them
and should not have been attempted.
They are full of the rebellious spirit,
but, of course, never expect to be in
dependent of the U. S. Governmlnt.
They say they should. have been allow
en to "go - to themselves;" but I think
they do not expect now to ever be al
lowed to do so. .
Their purpose now is, to get rid of
the reconstruction acts, and then they
will regulzttc everything to suit them—
selves
The bill passed by Congress,author
izing the President to submit the Con
stitution framed by the Convention
which met in Richmond on the 3d of
Dec., 1867, to the voters of Virginia,
was approved on the 10th day of Apr.,
1869. As soon as I read it I was dis
pleased with the plan, and said loyalty
is at a heavy discount.
You are acquainted with said bill.
It gave the President the right and
bower to submit to a Separate vote any
clauses he pleased. The President
having this power of course must have
supposed that Congress intended he
should exercise it. Immediately after
this, the rebels called on him and re
quested that clause 4, See. 1, Art. 3,
be submitted to a separate vote ; also
Sec. 7. Art. 3. They put all their
weight on these two clauses, and got
him to promise to do something for
them. Then they wanted two or three
other clauses submitted in the same
way, but they failed to get them sub
mitted in this way. Clause 4, Sec. 1,
Art. 3, is the disfranchising clause,and
See. 7, Art. 3,is the test oath, or 'iron
t3l d " The test oath was prescribed
by act of Congress, July 2, 1862, I
think, and disfranchisement by recon
struction Acts, i\lar. 2, 1867, mid JUly
19, 1867, &c.
That Convention put nothing in the
Constitution which was not au ,
thorized by previous Acts of Congress,
and therefore Congress sho'd not have
been displeased with that instrument.
Congress requires all officers of the U.
S. to take that oath. That Conven
tion intended that the Constitution of
the U. S. should require all officers un
der it, to take the same oath. This, I
think,is jast and right. I was requir
ed to take that oath before entering
upon the duties of Registrar, and I
firmly believe that no man should ex—
ercise the functions of any office who
cannot or should not take said oath.—
I say Congress did wrong when it gave
the President power to submit that
Constitution in any other way or shape
than the way it- comes from the Con
vention.
To prove that it was wrong, 1 will
suppose the following: Suppose at
your last term of Court, there were
coivicted of murder, 15 or 20 men,and
the sentence is death. Suppose, again,
the Legislature meet before they are
executed, and passes a bill authorizing
the Governor to allow them to vote on
the question " whether the sentence
shall be carried into effect or not."—
Now it is left to them, or a majority of
them, to decide whether they shall
hang or not, of course every man votes
against the execution of sentence, and
everybody looks upon it as a great fool
ishness to submit sucha question to the
vote of the criminals, and so it is.
The rebels of Virginia are situated
just as those convicts were : they are
guilty of the highest clime known to
the law, and Congress proposed,in the
first place, to punish them by disfran
chising the most influenti% anti prevent
ing till who engaged in rebellion from
holding office. This phuitchment can—
not be considered se+o bitiverYjust, ,
and a very wise and. cheap Wiy to tirin- :
IA them. 'The sentence haS gtme forth,'
but Cdngress hits allowed the question
to be submitted to them whether they
shall suffer the penalty or not,and they
have voted upon the question and deci
ded that the sentence alm'd not be car
ried out: This is what any one might
have expected. The other part of the
Constitution affects all, alike, loyal and
ilisloyak white and black. 'Now, I say,
if Congress calls this reconstruction,
then I am done with Congress, and
earnestly exhort the loyal people to be
careful to elect true and tried men to
Congress hereafter,
If Congress accepts the-Constitution
as it is, and allows the rebel members
of Congress to take their seats ; it will
be worse beaten 'than any body that
ever met in - Washington. lam satis%
fled that under rebel domination there
will not be one dozen sentences of the
original Constitution remaining in force
in five years after the State is admit
ted,and the Constitution adopted with
out the, two clausee, which have been
rejected, as I understand, by a large
majority.
It is not My intention to complain of
the election,though it does not express
the free Wish and will of the loyal peo ,
pie. Thousands of negroes voted with
the rebels through fear of being turn
ed out of their huts and discharged
from labor. This was forced npon ,
them so strongly that. very few voted
as they believed to he best.
At the election where I was, the
whites were on the ground before bun-
rise, including the disfranchised, and
remained as long as they could see in
the evening, at least until sunset.—
There were only two negroes in the
District who could read, and one of
them was held at the polls as a chal
lenger, while the other one distributed
tickets. As,soon as he would give a
ticket to a man, the whites would sur
round him with the intention of causing
him to vote the rebel ticket, or at least
to vote against the two clauses.
. They would say to the negro : "you
have all the rights You ask for, and
we intend you shall have them and al
ways be allowed to - exercise them. We
have not our rights, but ask _ you now
to give them to us by voting. our tick
et, or at least by Toting against the
two clauses," If this argument failed,.
they would a.dopt.the knowing': "You:
knowthe land is ours, and all, the:haus,
es, and We have the right to rent to
whom we please, and to hire whom we
please ; now, if you vote against us, we
are determined to put you out of our
houses and off 'our land ; we will no
allow our enemies to live in our houses
nor work on our land." There was not
t single white man at that election
who took an interest in the dailies
they were alone, and of course when
there was hot one white man to give
them counsel, they must have felt,
alone and .he!pless; so many of them
voted against the two clauses openly to
save being thrown out of their homes
and employment
lam satisfied such is the case, not
only. from what I saw outside, but also
from what I saw while counting the
ballots in the evening,or night. Wells'
majority for Governor over Walker
was 26 votes, and the majority against
the two clauses was 10 or 11, and a
great many votes against the clauses
were the Republican votes, or tickets
altered; the printed word " For," was
erased and the word "Against" writ
ten on them, showing that the rebels
did not surround a, negro without ac
complishing something.
I• believe if the State is admitted un
der rebel rule that 95 negroes out of
every, hundred will he disfranchised
within ten years after by requiring' vo
ters to own a certain amount •of
property, say $3OO worth, which Will
cut out about 99 in a hundred. They .
will not allow themselves to be reduced
to the necessity of calling on negroes
to vote for them longer than it can be
helped. By disfranchising the • negro
they will have undisputed sway over
the State. There would not be enough .
Republicans left (of voters) to bring on
a discussion at each voting place or
District, and this is the way they in
tend it shall be soon.
I have been asked if I am not in fa
vor of property qualifications for vo
ters? I have to say that I cannot fa—
vor anything of the kind. They think
it strange that I should oppose this. I
have said, that before I came here, I
was in favor of an educational qualifi
cation, but I would oppose that in this
State, while they would be in favor of
this, too.
A man where you are, cannot tell
what these rebels want, nor intend to
do; neither can a man tell anything
about them by travelling through the
State. When I came here first, I tho!t,
everybody seemed to be my friend,and
anxious to see me and others come
amongst them ; but, now how is it? I
read, in a rebel paper before the 'elec
tion, that "if they carried the election,
as they knew they Would, they would
clean out the carpet-bagger,and dry up
the scalawag, and put the negro 'where
he could do no harm."
In this same paper it was stated 'that
"every carpet-bagger should be kick
ed out of the State." This paper was
the Lynchburg I i V ee 7 cly News. One
of my neighbors said to a darkey last
night' "that I will have to leave now
soon—he can't stay in this country."
I don't expect to leave soon. If the
law did not interfere, and the military,
I believe it would not be safe for me

"GRANDFATHERS' STOVE."
Our grandfather's stern, what a furrty old
thing,
So deep, so wide and so tall;
Now the people would say, who, are stylish
and gay,
" lt was only a hole in the wall."
It matters not what, it was pleasant to see
When night's mantle was flung over all;
Grandfather take clown his good book and
read
By the light from the hole in the wall.
As the sturdy young men rolled in the great
logs, • •
They would laugh at each wintry squall,
Whilst
grandma would sit on her old chair
and knit
By tho light from the whole in the wall.
The girls then wore home spun, and so did
their beaux's,
•
For pride was a principle small;
And courting was done .and hearts have
'been won
By the light from the hole in the wall.
The neighbors were friendly wherever they'd .
meet; •
With a word of true kindness for all;
And joy was complete to hear voices so,sweet
Ring round that old hole in the wall. :
In those days we know, folks cared not for
show,
Of improvements knew nothing at all;
But 'twas really no joke, when great clouds
of smoke
Rushed out from the hole in the wall.
But those days are now o'er, we shall know
them no more,
And all those old fashions have flown;
Whilst the solemn and gay aro coming each
day
To purchase the famous "OLD HOME."
Coming not only in couples, but in scores,
as hundreds of good and wise mon and
women have dono before, to look — upon this
magnificent stove, which is acknowledged to
be tho best cooking stove of the age. Re
membor the place,
