A Democrat of the True Metal.
Soldiers Read this
Letter*.
At the late meeting of the skedaddlers,
Ac., at Schellsburg, which we learn was a
complete fizzle, an effort was made to organ
ize the meeting by the appointment of sol
diers as officers, among others selected was
the writer of the following letter, a iife long
Democrat, who understands the true position
of affairs and can't be humbugged:
Schetxsbcrg, Sept. 25, 1865.
Mr. Editor: —With your kind permission,
I wish through the medium of your valuable
paper, to make a correction, and explain my
position politically, so that your readers, and
the public generally may know exactly how I
stand. In the first place I would inform my
former political friends that they hare greatly
mistaken the man when they suppose me to be
a COPPERHEAD. I hare always been a
Democrat, and am a Democrat still, but not
of the MODERN TTPE. The true Demo
crat is the man who will stand up in defense
of his country and not sympathize with and
and give u aid and comfort" to its ene
mies, as the Copperheads hare done. I have
proven my loyalty by going to help in putting
down the rebellion, whilst these cowardly
traitors staid at home and called us "Lin
coln s hirelings," "Lincoln's pups, 11 ifcc.,
GLORIED OVER OUR DEFEATS, AND
EXULTED IN REBEL VICTORIES. Not
only this, BUT THEY VOTED TO DIS
FRANCHISE US AND PLACE US ON A
LEVEL' WITH THE NEGRO.
Mr. Editor, I fought for my country, and
I WILL VOTE FOR THE INTERESTS OF ML
COUNTRY, and against every man who opposed
it, AND THE SOLDIER, AND IT IS THE
DUTY OF ALL SOLDIERS SO TO ACT
TOWARDS THE MEN WHO SOUGHT
THEIR DEGRADATION AND DE
STRUCTION.
But now to the correction. The so-called
democrats had a meeting, or rather a "black
guarding match" in this town, on the 16th
inst, on which occasion, lam told, they pro
fessed great lore Jor the soldier, and selected
nearly all soldiers for officers to their meet
ing. Among the rest I see my name is on
the list of Secretaries published by the Ga
zette of last week, though I was not present,
nor even near the meeting, and I am satisfied
there are several other names in thai record
icho WOULD SPURN THE ASSOCIA
TION.
Now I would inform Mr. Meyers, and his
impudent associates, that they have used, (or
rather abused) my name without my knowl
edge or consent, and that I cannot accept so
slimy an honor. I cannot be wheedled and
cajoled in that way, if, perhaps (?) some of
trie soldiers can. I cannot for the life of me
see HOW ANY SOLDIER CAN VOTE
WITH SUCH A PARTY, AND, ON THE
OTHER HAND, I CANNOT SEE HOW
THAT PARTY can put on face enough to
ask it after the way they treated them.
In conclusion, I would say that I INTEND
TO VOTE FOR MY OLD CAPTAIN, SI
MON DICKERHOOF, than whom there was
no braver soldier, AND THE WHOLE
UNION TICKET. AND ADVISE ALL MY
FELLOW SOLDIERS TO DO THE SAME.
Do not be flattered by the men who were your
enemies, who try with honeyed words to make
you believe that they are Demon ats ; they ha
ted you in the army, and they care nothing
about you now except to get your rotes. WE
FOUGHT REBELS IN THE SOUTH, LET
US NOW FIGHT,IF POSSIBLE, A WORSE
SET OF MEN, THEIR SYMPATHISERS
AT HOME.

OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
By the action of the Union Conventions of
the Counties of Somerset, Bedford and Ful
ton, Gen'l. Moses A. Boss and Lieut. P. B.
Armstrong, the former representatives from
this Dist.net, have been placed in nomina
tion as candidates for the Legislature. The
high character of these gentlemen, their fit
ness for the position, and the faithful man
ner in which they discharged their duties
during the past session, entitle them to the
confidence of the Union party of the district,
and their re-election by a handsome majori
ty is a foregone conclusion. There are some
reasons, however, why there should be an
earnest and vigorous effort made by every
member of the Union party, to secure the
election of these gentlemen, and the com
plete and ignominious overthrow of their
antagonists. It will ever be remembered,
whs.t u determined effort the Democratic
party male, to defeat the Constitutional i
amendment, which conferred upon our gal
lant soldiers in the field, the right to vote.
They resisted the passage of the bill in its
various stages in the Legislature, and en
deavored to defeat it before the people,
not only by open and hostile opposition,
but by the utterance and circulation of
the wilful and malicious falsehood,
that the object of the proposed amendment
of the Constitution was, to give "the niggers
a vote" thereby wickedly attempting to de
grade the American soldier, and lower him
to the level of the negro. The people of
Pennsylvania disregarding the evil counsels
of that wicked and depraved party, rose in
their might to the full measure of the occa
sion, and in thunder tones, and with an
overwhelming majority, declared that justice
still held its sway, within the limits of our
noble Commonwealth, and that the man who
went forth, to do the vert/ highest duty of a
citizen, should not for that reason, br depri
ved of his highest privilege, and lowered to
the level of the slave. But the intense hatred
of the copperhead party did not permit them
to stay their efforts, to disfranchise the sol
diers, and nowhere did tho malignant spirit
of hostility to the soldier evince itself in a
more notorious manner, than in this Legis
lative district. In the counties of Bedford
and Fulton, the copperhead party is in the
ascendency, and consequently had a majori
ty of the return iudges, at the meeting of
the county boards to count the vote. In
furtherance of a well matured scheme, by
the copperhead politicians of the District to
elect tneir Congressional, .Judicial and Le
gislative tickets, the Democratic return
judges in violation of the plainest provisions
of the law. defining their duties, rejected the
| ret urn •of 139 soldier votes iu Bedford, and
25 in Fulton countv.
After carefully manipulating the returns,
and seeking for every possible objection!
they rejected the foregoing rotes and coun
ted the balance, and the rc*ult to found teat
certified by every Democratic return judge.
The Union judges Inhering, that the return
judges had no right under the law to reject
any votes, did not sign the papers. At the
meeting of the District judges, one from each
of these counties to sum up the vote of the
District, it was discovered that the copper
head judges of Fulton and Bedford had not
thrown away a sufficient number of votes to
defeat Ross and Armstrong, and the two
judges from these counties, being in a ma
jority ofono over the Somerset judge, DE
LIBERATELY REJF/TBD THE ENTIRE SOLDIER
VOTE op BEDFORD AND FULTON COUNTIES.
For the purpose of defeating Ross and Arm
strong, and giving a fraudulent certificate of
election to Findley and Meyers, these two
iudges shamelessly, and in violation of all
law, cast away the very votes that they in
connection with their fellow Democratic
judges had previously certified to be correct.
The whole history of fraudulent voting and
ballot-box stuffing may be searched in vain,
for a more gross and outrageous violation of
the elective franchise than this. It is so
monstrous and horrible, that the mere state
ment of it will shock every decent and right
thinking citizen. This scheme was not per
mitted to succeed. The Union judge from
Somerset made a return, certifying the cor
rect vote, and upon both being presented to
the Legislature, that f>ody rejected the frau
dulent and spurious itne. and promptly ad
mitted Ross and Armstrong to their seats.
Findley and Meyers conscious of the weak
ness of their case, not only did not make a
contest as was their right, yea, their duty to
do, if they felt themselves aggrieved, but
have not solicited a re-nomination at the
hands of their party, thus shrinking from
that tribunal, whose decree had been so set
at naught by their party, and doubtless hav
ing a premonition of the defeat that awaits
their candidates, as the just retribution due
such an outrage upon the rights of the peo
ple. In their stead two others have been,
round, who are willing to enter the contest,
with this immense load of political iniquity
strapped upon their shoulders, which will
cling to them with the conspicuity of the
rogue, who is made to go in public with the
name of the offence he has been guilty of,
§lacarded in large letters upon his back,
oldiers :you owe it to yourselves, to your
manhood, to vindicate your rights, so wan
tonly and defiantly trampled upon by the
Democratic party, to vote for Ross and
Armstrong, and defeat their opponents,
Uolburn and Smith. Union men : good and
true men of all parties, you who would pre
serve the ballot-box pure, see to it, that the
candidates of that party, that so flagrantly
attempted to set the will of the people aside
are defeated at the coining election.
DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO THE
WAR.
Every measure adopted by the Adminis
tration to Ruppress the rebellion was honored
by the hearty opposition of the Democracy,
which spared no effort to influence the peo
ple against those to whom was entrusted
safety of the nation during its hour of trial.
The war itself received their heartiest con
demnation.
It is true there was a wing of the party,
known as "War Democrats,' but they were
powerless, and such as attempted indepen
dence of action were promptly read out of
the party. The peace men controlled the
organization and policy of the party, and the
war men never failed to support them at tho
polls. Practically, the party was a unit in
favor of peace; and in this it was consistent
from first to last
At the great Democratic meeting of
January 16, 1861, at Philadelphia, the ninth
resolution adopted declared.
"We are therefofe utterly opposed to any
such compulsion as is demanded by a portion
of the Republican Party: and the Democratic
Party of the North will, by the use of all
constitutional means, and with its moral and
political influence, oppose any such extreme
policy, or a fratricidal war thus to be inaug
urated. ''
And a month later, at the Democratic State
Convention, held at Harrisburg, Fehruary
22, 1861, the following resolution "was re
ceived with the most, rapturous applause,
nearly all the members of the Convention
rising, cheering, and waving their hats."
"Resolved, That we will, by all proper and
legitimate means, oppose, discountenance
and prevent any attempt on the part of the
Republicans in power to make any armed
aggression upon the Southern States, espe
cially so long as laws contravening their right
shall^ remain unrepealed on the statute books
of Northern States, and so long as the just
demands of the South shall continue to be
unrecognised by the republican majorities
in these States, and uusecured by proper
amendatory explanations of the Constitu
tion."
It was in precisely the same spirit that
Benjamin G. Harris, a Democratic member
of Congress from Maryland, on April <>,
1861, had the effrontery to declare in the
House of Representatives:
"The South asked you to let them go in
peace. But no; you said you would bring
them into subjection. That is not done yet,
and God Almighty grant that it never may
be. I hope that you will never subjugate
the South."
This being good Democratic doctrine, it
is not surprising that, with one exception,
the Democratic members voted in a solid
body against Mr. Harris' expulsion, nor
that, when he was sent as a delegate to the
Chicago Convention, he was received there
as a member of the party, in full communion
and good standing.
At Chicago, indeed, Mr. Harris found
himself among congenial spirits.
There the Rev. C. Chauncey Burr, of
New Jersey, publicly declared,
"You cannot have the face to ask the
South to come back into the Union until you
withdraw your marauding army. Is there
a man in this audience that wants to have
one half of the States conquered and subjec
ted? [No.] When this is done you have
ended the Government. After three years
of war, who are conquered, you or the South?
I say you are conquered. You cannot con
quer the South, and I pray God you never
may."
James S. Rollins, of Missouri:
"I love our Southern friends; they are a
noble, a brave, and a chivalrous people
[cheers], although they are trying to break
up the Government; and however much wc
may hate them, we must remember that
they are our countrymen, and cannot be sub
dued so long as we insist upon depriving
them of their rights."
John J. Van Allen, of New York:
"War is disunion. War could never pro
duce peace. It was impossible to subjugate
eight millions of people, and it ought not to
he done, if it could be done."
HARD ON THE '•COPS."
Harper's Weekly, a paper that had deci
ded leanings toward the Democracy before
the Slaveholders rebellion, speaks thus
harshly, but truthfully, of the party which
still claims to bear the name. It nays;—
' The national prestige of the Democratic
name is gone. Tue name of Democracy is
indissoluLly associated with treason, rebel
lion, and civil war. _ Under Democratic as
,pendency the consniracy was conceived and
matured. Under a Democratic Administra
tion it ripened. By Democratic chiefs it
was directed. By Democratic politicians it
was defended and excused. By a Demo
ocratic Convention it was declared triumph
ant. By Democrttic organs and orators, as
far as they dare, the theories from which the
rebellion sprung are still justified. The
Democratic party has forced its best men from
its ranks. It has prostituted a noble name
i to the basest, purpose. At some time that name
I may become again respectable, but for the
\ present American people have had quiie
enoH'/h of "the />• >-• acy."
