OUR TICKET.
The '
Jnion - Republican Convention,
OM
assembled in the Court House,
. the 11th inst., placed in nomina
tion a ticket of good and true men—a
ticket that does honor to the conven
tion that selected it, and to the Re
publican party which it represents.--
For assembly, we have
JAMS P. COBURN,
of Aaronsburg. Mr. COBURN is an
educated man, possessing first-class
business talent. He is qualified, in
every particular, to represent Centre
county in the Legislature. Mr. Co
burn is exceedingly popular at home,
having, by repeated acts of kindness,
gained the esteem of his neighbors, of
all political parties. He will be elect
ed.
The next candidate we will notice is
J. B. BUTTS,
placed in nomination by the conven
tion, as the Union Republican candi
date for the office of High Sheriff of
Centre county. Who does not know
JERRY BEM? No cleverer man ever
lived in Bellefonte. No better, or more
popular man, ever run for the office of
Sheriff in this county. JERRY cannot
be whipped. He will, of course, be
elected by a handsome majority. This,
we think, is a fixed fact.
For Prothonotary, the convention
nominated, by acclamation,
SA3IIIEL L. BARR,
of Bellefonte. Mr. BARR is a native
of Ferguson tp., but resided in Spring
tp, at the breaking out of the rebellion,
frhen he enlisted ie the service of his
p„onotry, fie lost an arn. ig the ser
vice, ,and is, therefore, a crippled sol
dier.
.He is an excellent scholar,
gpeaks the German and English lan
guage iluently, and is just the man to
pH the office of Prothonotary for the
lext three years. His election is a
foregone conclusion.
For Register .and Clerk of the Or
phap's .C,c,urt, we have
WILLIAM CURTIN,
,ofi3oggs tp. Mr. CURTIN is a farmer
;by occupation, is a splendid penning,
a good scholar, and speaks the Aar
man language well. This gives him
: an AdVantage over his competitor Alai*
.o.ur German friends should not forget.
Our Democratic friends claim that the
; present incuinbent,J.P.GEPHART, has
made one of the best officers this coun
ty ever had. -We assure our friends,
.as well as the Democrats, that Mr.
CURTIN is equally qualified, .and
make as good an officer, is every re
spect. Of course his election is sure,
For Recorder of Deeds the Conven
tion ,nominated
DANIEL C. ROTE,
r of Haines,tp. Mr. ROTE is a highly
,educated Juan, both in,German and
English. Speaks both Languages flu
ently, writes a.flrst-rate, legible band,
and is, thr.refore, just the xnante fill
_the office ,of yiecArAer.
Whcp our o.erman friends in Penns
..wish to visit
,the Recorder's
,office .tbey
. can meet 4lr. RopE, and
,conxer§esvith him in their
,c,wn
aan
;gnage. This will ,be exceedingly
pleasant. Pennsvallev will tell a bit
story in favor of Mr. Ron, on the
Tuesday of October nett. is elec
tion is sure.
EDITORS
For Treasurei ) the convention placed
in nominatien
ff. P. CADWALLADER,
I of Potter tp., that prince of good fel
lows, and popular man. Everybody
likes RASH; everybody knows that he
is abudantly qualified to fill the office
for which he is selected; and, if elect
ed, of which there can be no doubt, he
will guard the Treasury against any
WOLF, or wolves, that might prowl
around that neighborhood. Ts it too
much to say that his majority will
reach 500 votes? Wolf skies will cer
tainly be cheap after the election.
The convention placed in nomination
for Commissioner
LEWIS BESS,
of Rush tp. Mr. HESS is well and fa•
vorably known all over the county. He
is a hardworking, honest and energet
ic man. Is well qualified to fill the of
fice of Commissioner, and if the tax
payers of Centre consult their own in-
terests, LEWIS HESS will be elected by
a triumphant majority.
For Auditor, we have our staunch
and unwavering Republican friend
BENJAMIN F. LIGGET,
of Liberty tp. Mr. LIGGET is a good
accountant, a prosperous and thrifty
farmer and business man, and is just
the man to assist in auditing the coun
ty accounts at the next settlement. He
will be at the next settlement, sure.—
The people have so determined it.—
Good for BEN.
For Coroner, the convention gave
us that most excellent Physician, and
good man,
bit. WM. P. REIMER,
of Ferguson tp. The Doctor is well
known 1411 over Centre county. He is
just the man for the office, and the
the good people—the chris-
Man people—the 'liana of the people
in Centre county have determined that
Dr. _REIMER shall hold all the Coro
ner's inquests for the next three years.
and that the whole Union Republican
ticket shall be elected. We are real
-3.1 glad that the people have deter
mined that the Court House ring
shall be cleaned out.
Confesses Its Error.
The Democratic Convention, on the
10th inst., by placing in nomination
three soldiers, and ignoring the claims
of their Democratic competitors, fairly
admits that copperheadism is- a delu
sion and a disgrace ; that the course
penned by the party during the war
was disgraceful and wrong ; that the
IVIcOLELLAN platform of 1864 was
wrong, and a base libel upon the sol
diers and the Republican party : that
the SEYMOUR. and BLAIR platform of
last year was a humbug, a cheat and a
snare, and that those who were green
enough, or ignorant enough to adhere
to and vote for it were badly sold. The
State Convention refused to nominate
Gen. R.4.NCOCK because he was a good
Union soldier,and his nomination wo'd
give the lie to all they had said against
the war. In Centre county the nomi
nation of soldiers proves the same
thing. This is good logic. It cannot
be contradicted.
Since 1865 down to the present time,
the Republican party have placed in
nomination good and true soldiers—
soldiers whose record was the very best
—soldiers, - who had borne the brunt of
many a battle, and gave an arm or a
leg for the cause in which they fought;
but the Democrats, or Copperheads,
of Centre refused to vote for one of
them. In preference to Maj. CHEER
MAN, a one legged soldier, they voted
for J. D. SRUGERT, an able-bodied
stay-at-home Democrat. In preference
to Lieut. H. H. BENNER, a crippled
soldier, they voted for J. H. LIPTON,
an able-bodied stay-at home Demo
crat. In preference to Mr. Wurrro,
a private soldier,nominated by the Re
publican party for Sheriff, three years
ago, they voted for D. Z. MANE, an
able-bodied stay-at-home Democrat.—
Every Democrat you would meet and
ask to support one of these soldiers
nominated by the Republican party
would answer you in this language
" The soldiers got paid for all they
did, and well paid, and the wounded
soldier now receives a good pension for
the loss of his arm or kg."
This was Pemocratic love and sym-
Why Pr the soldier from I.Bg cioNt
to the present time. It was such sym 7
pathy as the F . olf g e we the lamb, and
should hive 44,9 ,every honorable,
honest, intelligeiiit soldier out of the
rotten , corrnptand disloyal party.
The peg ocratic party We in claims
upon the soldier, and i our oxkio i n,
the soldier that accepts a aominaton at
the hands of that party has no claims
upon the suffrages of his fellow com
rades. Suppose Gen. GEO. WAy3ll-•
INGTON had, after the Revolutionary
struggle, deserted the loyal cause and
gone over to the Tourn,would the loy
al men of his day been justifiable in
electing him President of the United
States?
The :Republican party has now plac
ed in nomination SAMiLEL L. BARR,
Esq., a One-arnied Soldier, in opposi
tion to JOHN Moßkc, - an able-bodied
stay-at-home Democrat. Hog - , we
ask, can any Democrat, with the new

consistent, and vote. in 'favor . of 30-HN

Democratic Convention:
The so called Democratic COii4reii
don assembled in the Colirt House, on.
Tuesday,lOth inst,,and placed in nom
ination the following ticket : •
For Assembly—JACOß. G. MEYER.
For Prothonotary—JOHN MORAN.
For Reg. and CFk—JNO. IL MORRISON.
For Recorder—lSßEAL GRENOBLE.
For Sheriff—DAN'L W. WOODRING:
For Treasurer—SlMON S. WOLF.
For Commissioner—JOS. MoOLOSBEY.
For Coroner—J. FUREY LARIMORE.
For Auditor—D.B. YEAGER.
Reader, the above is the ticket plac
ed in nomination by the "Court House
Ring." Look at it. Think about it.
Read it over several times. Analyze
it carefully.
" Black spirits and white,
Blue spirits and gray;
Mingle, mingle mingle,
Yon that mingle may."
Yes, mingle if you can, Democrats
of Centre county ; but one thing is cer
tain, if you have any principle, or any
consistency, you cannot support the
ticket. Why? Because it does not
represent the principles you have been
taught to believe were truly Demo
cratic. To support this ticket makes
turn-coats of every one of you without
leaving your party. Do you ask how?
The answer is easy. When the war
for the Union was inaugurated, your
leaders,the DemocraticWatchman,and
all the Democratic papers in the State
and Nation took sides against the war
—declared that the Government had
no right to coerce the South. Presi
dent BUCHANAN so declared in his
message to Congress, and the smaller
lights everywhere adopted it as the
true Democratic doctrine. The result
was, that to be a good Democrat you
must be opposed to the war. In this
cicunty, P. G. MEEe proclaimed the
doctrine that the South was right in
rebelling against the Government—
that the rebels were fighting for their
rights, their firesides and their homes,
and at the same time declared that
the Union army was composed of
" Northern hordes," " Lincoln hire
lings," " thieves" and "cut throats."
These were a few of the choice epi
thets applied to Union soldiers—the
noble "Boys in Blue"—not only by P.
G. MEEK', but by all the leading Dem
ocratic journals in the North. The
true test of Democracy was opposition
to the " Abolition war," and every
Democrat who enlisted as a private, or
entered the field as an officer, did it at
the expense of his standing as a Dem
ocrat. He was read out of the par
ty, prononneed an abolitionist and a
"LINCOLN hireling."
The rank- and-file of the Democratic
party were led to believe these doe
trines,- and to show their faith by their
works, voted twice for P, G. MEEK,
the meanest copperhead in the State,
to represent them in the State Legisla
ture. In doing this, the copperheads
of Centre county could claim the vir
tue of consistency.
But how is it now? The Watch-
man says: "among the nominees are
three soldiers, viz : WOLP,WOODRING
and GRENOBLE." It further says:—
"The Convention did its part, and did
it nobly, too, in placing them in nomi
nation." MEEK would not say this
himself,he could not consistently write
it, but permits the Associate Editor to
do so.
It gives the lie to all MEEK. said
against the soldiers during the war. It
holds up to the world, in all its black
and damning character, the record he
made for himself and party during the
war, and shows what tools some peo
ple are, and what. tools (spelled with
an "f " ) some people suffer themselves
to become.
Men tike B. F. Bitowx, SAM,. HER
RIR a, and others who endorsed the
copperhead, or anti-war teachings of
the Watchnian,and who worked night
and day for the success of what they
were taught to believe true Democra
cy, are now thrown overboard, or coin
pelled to stand aside because their rec
ord is too copperish, and soldiers—
" LINCOLN hirelings"—nominated in
their stead. In 1864, to Tote for Mc-
CLELLAN was simon-pure Democracy.
In 1869, the men who voted for Mc-
CLELLAN must make way for those
who voted for ABRAHAM LINCOLN in
1864.
In 1264 the Democratic platform de
clared the war a "failure," and its re
sults nothing but "debt, slarghter and
disgrace." In 1369 they give the di
rect LIE to all titis; cast overboard the
men who believed it,worked for it,and
gloried in the nape copP.eriKad, to
make romp. for men ;who voted K4ifist
it., against McCbEp,LAN., and who Ad.-
ed in putting down the , "Aboli4op.
war."
What is the conclusion of the whpl i e
matter?.There can be but two sit*
to the Janeatiou, gither the war was
right and the Demoeratie party woeful :
ly, wickedly and wilfully wrong, or it
was wrong and the Democratic pox
right. The Convention on the .thth
proves hhe Brat proposition to be
true, to wit : that the w . ar wys right,
and the Democratic party woefully,
wickedly jd wilfully wrong, by plac
ing three soldlers—" Liziopp s t hire
lings" upon *el'.
, t,,slio.
Can any person point out to us the
honesty, or consistency of the " Court
House Ring ?" Can any Demooxat or
member of the "Ring'-' tell .u.show the
soldiers upon the Democratic tick:t
can remain there and claim to be con
sistent? It will not answer to say that
the Democratic partyhas come to them.
In our opinion they have gotten into
, bad company, have failed to "vote as
they shot," and do not deserve the
hympatitieLof their comrades in arms.
-They Ape changed, or the Democrat,
le party hps,e r banged. If the party has
changed then, no member of that par
ty is bound to 'support the ticket.
if these soldiers have changed, they
do not deserve' the• support either of
their comrades or the Men' who stood
i
by the Government nt• 1864.
The Two
Yearly h generation ago, General
lohn W. Geary and Asa Packer,
were both Democrats. The Democratic
party embroiled the country in the
Mexican war, that additional territory
might be secured for slavery. Packer,
a cold, scheming, money -getting man,
supported the war for that reason.
Geary, young,brave, enthusiastic, and
patriotic, led his command against a
hostile army without inquiring into
aims and motives of the war. It was
enough for him to know that his coun
try was waging war, and like a soldier.
he inquired very little beyond the fact
that the flag should be upheld. Years
after, when slavery demanded that
Kansas should have the accursed in
stitution forced upon her against her
will, Packer favored the execrable pro
ject. while Geary sent out as Govern
or, did his best to thwart the villainy.
Afterwards, when the shock, engen
dered by the Kansas-Nebraska iniqui
ty,was about to tear tha Nation,Pack
er sympathized with secession while
Geary again drew his sword against
that heresy and crime. Geary held our
country to be a nation with the right
and power to defend its life : Packer,
insisted that itwas a rope of' sand, and
that "coercion" was treason. Geary
believed that South Carolina committ
ed treason by firing upon the Ameri
can flag ; Packer that Massachusetts
committed treason by being in favor
of liberty. While Geary was drilling
his regiment fir the field, Packer was
whining about "making war on our
Southern brethern." When Geary was
driven back defeated, and reinferce,
meats were demanded, Packer was
hand-in-glove with the Copperheads
in preventing enlistments, 'When
Volunteering was well - nigh stopped
by Packer and his party, and Geary
was in sore need cif men, the party who
now honor Packer, and their candi
dates were doing all they could to
obstruct the draft, even to the shoot
ing of Provost Marshals. All through
that bloody period Geary was support
ing his country with blood; Packer
was doing everything to thwart and
defeat her.
And now that the fearful conflict
has passed, the difference between
these two men and their supporters
remains, and these two have become
representatives of the policy and the
principles now animating their follow
ers.. Geary insists that the party which
saved the Republic should rule ; Pack
er, that those who endeavored to des
troy the Government, encouraged the
Rebellion, resisted the drafts, and de
nounced our soldiers, are the fittest to
govern. Geary and his party demand
that the fruits of the blood bought
victory over Slavery and Treason
should be secured for posterity ; Pack
er and his party, that they should be
abandoned and Rebels restored to
power Geary,who preferred to serve
his country instead of devoting his
time to amassing wealth, insists that
the national debt contracted to carry
on the war against Treason shall bo
paid in good faith ; Packer, who in
stead of serving the country, devoted
all his efforts to amassing a colossal
fortune, affiliates with those who
could repudiate this debt and beggar
countless widows and orphans, and
dishonor the nation. Both have been
earnest and consistent in their aims
and purposes, and between them the
people of Penn'a must choose. On
that choice rests the future welfare of
the State, and we do not doubt the
Republicans of Pennsylvania are pre
pared to accept the issue again pie
sented by the Democratic party in the
nomination of an anti-War, Peace at
any-price candidate for Governor, and
affirm their continued adhesion to the
cause that saved the country.
The October Elections.
We invite attention of the press and
people of the State,without distinction
of party, to the recent radical changes
in the election laws. The Legislature,
at its last session, passed an act enti'
tied "An act further suplemental to
the act relative to the elections of this
Commonwealth," and it was approved
by the Governor on the 17th day of
April last. The fifteenth section of
this act abolished all spring elections,
and required all elections hereafter to
be held on the second Tuesday of Oe
tober. That no misapprehension may
exist we here give said section in full,
as follows :
" Szeriox 15. All elections for city,
ward, borough, township and election
officers shall hereafter be held on the
second Tuesday of October, subject to
tke provisions of the laws regulat
mg th, a eleption of such officers not in
,cficiNstent with this act; the persons
eiected to such offices at that time shall
take' heir places at the expiration of
the terms of tilio gerspos holding the
same at the time of s.uek election ; but
oo'election for the office of assessor or
assistant assessor shill be' field under
this act, Until the •'j

Ford, Borough, township and election
officers (except assessors), which wo'd
have been chosen at the Spring elec
tion of 187 P, had the said' act of 17th
of April, 1.469, not been passed.
We regard this
,as
. a matter of great
public importance, ,and take this Meth
od of jFiting public attention to it,
hoping our cotempormies will aid us
in Aisimmkating all needful informs

Packer and his Taxes.
Carbon county and the borough of
Mauch Chunk, during the recent war,
contracted a large debt for bounty to
those who went into the army. Hon
orably to meet this debt it became ne
cessary to raise .money by taxation.
They assessed Asa Packer with one,
million of dollars railroad stock.when
in fact he owned about four millions.
Packer, like other residents of Mauch
Chunk, p aid his taxes the first year
but to evade future payment gave out
that he had changed his residence to
the city of Philadelphia. The alleged
change not being apparent to any one
but himself, (he and his family still
continuing to occupy the spacious
mansion in Mauch Chunk as before ),
the proper authorities again assessed
upon him the usual taxes as on alloth er
residents of the borough. He refused
payment. again protesting that his
residence was at the Merchants' Hotel
Philadelphia, and the result was the
amount had to be recovered from him
by suit at law, and ever since then
the authorities of Mauch Chunk,with
most wonderful kindness and magna
nimity, have permitted the poor man
to repudiate the payment of his share
of the patriotic bounty taxes, and re
quired the rich men of the town to
pay their own share and Mr. Packer's
also; and all this on the pitiful plea
that lie had changed his residence.
The fact is, he has opened a coal and
railroad: office in Phil'a, but there
stands his elegant family residence,in
Mauch Chunk, occupied by himself
and family year after year, as it has
always been. Is not this a miserable
subterfuge,unworthy any honest man?
and much more a man who aspires to
the high and honorable places in the
country? Let him set an example of
which honorable men will not be
ashamed ; and let him pay his share
of the taxes, due the soldier,his widow,
and his orphan, before he asks their
votes or their influence to elevate him
over them as their ruler.
Can Packer be Elected ?
We think not. Upon what do the
Democracy base their hope of his elec
tion? there is not a single act of his life
public or private, to which they can
refer to distinguish him from the other
millionaire nabobs of the day. It is
the amount of money he is pledged to
furnish they look to for success, arid
not the virtues of their candidate.—
They mean to come into the political
market as buyers, and if there is dirty
material enough to be purchased they
, are not going to higgle about the price.
Pretty soon we shall see, in . every
nook and corner of the country, the
brawlers to whom the party funds have
been committed for disbursement,
using their best efforts to corrupt
voters and carry -the election by bri
bery and fraud. But the scandalous
attempt will fail. The man with no
claims upon the people but such as
arise from his wealth, will find, after
the election, that the people are not
yet corrupted enough to be bought
and driven to the polls as sheep to the
shambles. The solid claims upon
public gratitude and support which
Governor Geary has as a soldier
and civilian will outweigh all the
money bags of Packer, and he will be
reelected by a larger majority than
that by which ho was choscn three
years ago. Mark what we say.—

THE REPUDIATORS. —The nomina
tion of Repudiation Pendleton in Ohio
reveals the meaning of Rosecrans'
oracular utterance about Ms family and
creditors. He was evidently afraid his
salary would not be paid.
If Rosecrans showed so much cau
tion that he would not trust the Demo
cracy, even bearing gifts, would it not
be prudent for all holders of national
currency or United States bonds to
vote against Pendleton, or any other
Democratic candidate ?
A corollary reflection for Pennsyl
vania ! It is not known that Asa Pack
er holds a single United states securi
ty. Certain it is that he did not lend
the Government a dollar in its extremi
ty. Will not all his influence in case
of his election be thrown as a matter
of course against the Government
bonds and credit? Now, when Grant
is straining every nerve to pay off the
great debt, we should not throw a
straw in his way.
WHO IS PERSHING 7—This question
is answered by the Somerset herald
and Whig. That journal says : " Per
shing is a third or fourth-rate country
lawyer, enjoying a plodding business as
scribener and general country counsel.
He has never, unassisted, tried a doz
en cases in that many years of prac
tice, and we doubt much if his voice
has ever been heard at the bar of the
Court on whose bench he aspires to sit.
His public career has been confined to
a few years of service in the lower
House of our State Legislature, where
he wade a political reputation so ex
tensive that one half his party journ
the State do not even know how
to spell i lkis uame."

GENERAL ROSECRANS has declined
the nomination for Governor of Ohio,
and telegraphed Hon. A. G. Thur
man, for the Democratic Committee
as fellows : "After the war I resigned
a very desirable position in the army
and left my State to secure at least
epossibility of fulfilling duties deem
ed sacred to my creditors and family.
These duties forbid me. the honor of
leading the Democracy of Ohio in the
pending campaign for Governor."
The country is Gen. Rosecrans'
heaviest creditor, and we are inclined
to think he realizes his obligation.

6 6 GRA NDPATITERS' STOVE."
Onr grandfather's stove, what a fan •y old
thing,
So deep, so wide and so tall;
Now the people would say, who are stylish
and gay,
"lt was only a bole in the wall."
It matters not what, it was pleasant to see
When night's mantle was flung over all;
Grandfather take down 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 the 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.
Tn. 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 faskdope have flown;
Whilst the solemn and gttry are' coming each
day
To purchase the famous FOLD Houn.'
,Coming not only in couples, but in scores,
as hundreds of good and wise men and
)vouiten haps done before, to look — upon this
magnificent stove, which is acknowledged to
be the best cooking stove of the age. Re
