COLERAIN MOVING.
A large and spirited meeting of the Union
men of Colerain township, was held at
Kainshurg, on Tuesday evening last. The
en izens came out in great numbers to hear
the Issues of the day discussed by John T.
Keagy, M. A. Points, Esq's., Hon. John
Cessna, and D. S. Elliot, Esq., of Bedford.
Mr. Elliot, was a gallant soldier in the 76th
(Zouaves) Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
served his country long and faithfully. He
made a very neat and sensible speech. The
Union Republican Brass Band was on hand
aud discoursed the best music which we
have listened to during the campaign. The
students of the old "Alleghany" turned out
en masse, and evinced an intelligent appre
ciation of the speaking. The following were
the officers of the meeting: President, Col.
LEWIS A. MAY ; Vice Presidents, Anthony
Smith, (who never before voted the Repub
lican ticket, but has been an ardent Demo
crat.) Wm. R. Vaughn, Josiah Ott, E. J.
Biehl, John Ilafer, Col. Alex. Compher
and Reuben Stone. Secretaries; S. *M.
Overocker and Henry Strasbaugh.
Colerain will give an increased Republican
vote this election.
A GRAND MASS MEETING.
The Upper End Right Side Up I
On last Saturday the sturdy yeomanry of
the West End of this county turned out
in vast numbers at Schellsburg, to bear the
issues discussed which are involved in the
present c&nvass. The meeting was one of
the most spirited that we have witnessed for
years. The following persons were chosen
officers of the meeting : -
President, Capt. G. S. MLLLIN ; Vice
Presidents : John W. Hull, Esq., lleuben
R. Colvin. Win. Kirk, Joseph Dull, Mar
tin Riley. Peter R. Hillegas. Esq., Allen

Hoover. Secretaries; Wm. A. B. Clark,
Esq., J. W. Nipple, IT. Clay Stuckey,

liphcr, Daniel Bosh.
The meeting was addressed by Adj. J. 11.
Longenecker. M. A. Points, Esq., Hon.
John Cessna, and Wm. Ilall, Esq. The
speeches were fine specimens of oratory,
sound logic aud wit. During Mr. Hall's
speech a rnott laughable object was introdu
ced, in the shape of a small white Mule,
with leathern goggles; on one side was paint
ed in large black letters "Moses swinging
around the circle," while on the opposite
-ide "My Policy" was written in equally
bold characters. The-meeting was kept up
until late in the evening when it adjourned
to meet at the polls on next Tuesday.
I'ATTONBYILLE CORRESPONDENCE.
Orcat Outpouring of the People.—
Their Numbers and who they were.—
\c, Arc.
PATTOXSVI LIE, Sept. 2'J, 1806.
MESSRS. EHITORS: —The long talked of,
long advertised and long looked for demon
stration of the Democracy took place this
evening at the public house of Mr. J. Ritchey.
The evening was rather cloudy and daiup,
yet it had no effect on the unterrified. They
came in great numbers until after dark, when
it was discovered that there were at least
TWELVE persons present, seven Democrats
black Republicans. It was supposed
that we would have a galatime —but 10, when
we looked around we had no speakers. The
question was then asked amongst the unterri
fied, what will we do'.' It wa3 finally decided
to go home, which was very reluctantly done
by all.
The Democrats were expecting a rich treat
of Negro Suffrage and equal rights, sufficient
indeed to change the opinion of the five Re
publicans.
The democracy hereabouts are very much
alarmed. They think they see some very
large specimens of the negro race stepping up
to the polls with them; and this would not. he
so had, but they have been assured by their
speakers, at a former meeting, that the ne
groes would all vote the d—d Republican
ticket. There is where the shoe pinches.
They also behold the negroes come right
into their families, and even marrying their
daughters, which they say cannot be avoided
owing to the civil rights bill. Their cry of
Nigger, Nigger, for the last ten years, and
their yearly assurance that Negro Suffrage is
the issue, has not had a very good effect on
some of their followers, as they are beat
yearly and negroes still don't vote. The
people in this section cannot be duped, and
after the 9th of October you will find that we
are all alive and kicking. There is not a
Union man in this township, bat what would
sooner see loyal black men vote, than trai
tors whose hands are yet unwashed of the
blood of our fathers and brothers.
The people have sworn that loyal men
must rule, and treason be punished.
Can you tell us where the many Democrat
ic speakers were, the night of the long-to-be
rtmembered meeting of the unterrified De
mocracy of South Woodberry?

THE NEW MODE OF VOTING.
VOTERS MUST BE CAREFUL
The Legislature at its late session chan
ged the entire mode of voting in this county.
Heretofore all the party nominees of any
one party were voted for on a single sliptjf
paper by special act of Assembly ;by the
late act tlio ticket must be voted in three
separate slips, headed respectively STATJB,
COUNTY, and JUDICIARY, thus:
STATE.
Governor,
John W. Geary.
COUNTY.
Congress,
William H. Koontz.
Senator,
Alexander Stutzinan.
Assembly,
John Weller,
John T. Richards.
Prothonotary, Register A Recorder, Clerk
of the Courts, &c.
John W. Lingenfclter.
Sheriff,
Nathan C. Evans.
Commissioner,
Samuel Shaffer.
Poor Director,
Henry H. Fisher.
Auditor.
James R. O'Neal.
JUDICIARY.
Associate Judge,
Adam Weaverhng.
These must be carefully cut apart and
be voted in such a manner that the inspec
tors can put them in their respective boxes
ht sight, as each division must have its par
ticular box. When the hoard comes to
count out, it will count out the division
headed State, which can be done in a few
minutes, and the news can be despatched to
headquarters at once, as the vote for Gov
ernor will be the test vote. Voters will he
very eareful to see that their ballots are com
posed of the entire ticket, STATE, COUN
TY and JUDICIARY.
MEYERS VOTED TO GIVE THE SOL
DIERS THE RIGHT TO VOTE
IN THE CAMP!
The last Gazette speaking of its editor,
says: "You know that he voted for the
Amendment to give the soldiers the right to
vote in the camp." WE KNOW NO
SUCH THING, AND WE DARE YOU
TO PRODUCE AN AFFIDAVIT,
SWORN AND SUBSCRIBED, SET
TING FORTH THAT YOU VOTED
AT THE POLLS IN BEDFORD TO
GIVE THE SOLDIERS THE RIGHT
TO VOTE. We know that you voted in
the Legislature to submit the amendment
to the people, but did you rote at the polh
for its adoption"! In the. Legislature
you couldn't avoid the record, but at
the polls you could stab the soldier without
him knowing who did it, and you DID IT.
And not only this, YOU WOULD NOT
ALLOW DEMOCRATS WTIO DE
SIRED TO INDUCE MUX TO
VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT
TO USE THEIR INFLUENCE IN
IJ S BEHALF; AND COM FELLED
THEM TO DESIST B V TIIREA TS.
Nor is this all. YOU FEINTED EV
ERY TICKET IN DEPOSITION TO
THE AMENDMENT WHICH WAS
FRIXTEI) IN THE COUNTY AND
NOT ONE IN FA YOR OF IT. If
you will agree to successfully controvert the
above statements we arc satisfied all the
oldiers shall vote fcr vou.
The Engineers to be Voted I
We learn that an engineer corps, now in
Somerset county,bus beeu assessed in no less
than townships in this county—Lon
donderry, Jur.iata and Haraison for the pur
pose of voting the Copperhead ticket. They
must be iu the district at least ten days before
the election in pursuit of their lawful calling.
They have no right to vote.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE
YOTE.
Let every voter be brought out to .the elec
tion on next Tuesday. One vote may
change the result. If every Republican
vote is out in the county, we will carry the
county by several hundred majority. Pee

The Sure ftesult of the Triumph
of My Policy,
HKAO!
The following correspondence between a
very respectable citizen and banker of Lan
caster city and the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens ;
will be read with interest by every man who
owns a dollar of National securities or who
has any regard for the National credit. Mr.
Stevens' letter is fall of vital interest. It
carries the truth at once to the reader's heart,
and admits of no comment:
LANCASTER, Sent. 18, 1866.
HON. THAOUECS STEVENS —Dear Sir: —As
the question has frequently been asked of me
what effect the success of the President's
Policy of reconstruction would have upon our
National securities, 1 would like to have your
views upon the subject, if it would not be
trespassing too mnch upon your time.
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN GEIGELT.
SEPTEMPKR 21, 1866.
JOHN (JEIGER, Esq.—Dear Sir:—ln ans'wer
to your inquiry, "what effect tht success of
the President's views will have on the Nation
al securities," I am of opinion that its effect
would be very injurious.
Ihe President contends that the body of
men acting as a Congress, has no constitu
tional powers, and can do no valid acts in
the absence of the excluded States. The Con
gresses that authorized the war debt and laid
the internal duties to pay it, were composed
of precisely the same number of Representa
tives, from the same States as the present.
IF IT SHOULD BE DECIDED THAT THOSE
CONGRESSES HAD NO CONSTITUTIONAL
EXISTENCE THEN THE 3-20s, 10-4 OS,
7- UOs, AND THE LEGAL TENDER GREEN
BACKS FILL HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH
OUT AUTHORITY, AND WILL BE WORTH
LESS,
Whether they would eve? be redeemed
would depend on what the President would
consider a constitutional Congress, after the
admission of the rebel representatives, when
the condition of the debts of both belligerents
would be considered. Yours, truly.
THADDEUS STEVENS.
THE GREAT ISSUE!
Whoever favor* the. President's policy,
wishes to strip the loyal North of twenty-five
members of Congress, to which it is fairly
entitled, and he wishes to give twenty-five
members to the disloyal South, which that
section has no equitable title to.
The figures will stand thus, omitting frac
tional representatives:
Present Northern representation 148
Present Southern representation on
basis 85
If the amendment be not adopted the result
will be as follows :
Northern representatives 138
Southern representatives .*.... 95
If the amendment be ratified the result will
be as follows :
Northern representatives 163
Southern representatives 70
At present the Northern majority is 63
If no chaDge in the Constitution is made
the Northern majority, after the next
apportionment, will be 43
If the amendment be adopted, the North
ern majority will be 93
So the question is whether the North is to
have ninety-three, or forty three, majority in
the House of Representatives. If every voter
has but one vote, ninety-three will be the
majority. If the Southern voters are given
two votes in consequence of their injustice to
the negroes and their rebellion, the Northern
majority will be but forty-three.
Here, tkei, is the issue between the Presi
dent and Congress. The President wishes to
reduce the Northern majority in Congress
from ninety-three to forty-three, by giving
two votes to every Mississippian and Louisi
anian. and three votes to every South Caroli
nian.
If the amendment be not adopted, all the
larger Northern States will lose two members
of Congress, and some of them will lose
three. This is what the President's "policy"
means. The issue is before the people.
CAUTION TO ELECTION
HOARDS !
Copperheads to vote on First Papers!
The various election Boards of this coun
ty are cautioned against taking the votes of
Foreigners on first papers. The Copper
heads will try this dodge in many of the
districts. The first paper is a ipere decla
ration of intentions to become a citizen and
does not entitle the holder to a vote. The
second and last paper must contain this
clause, "THEREUPON THE COURT
ADMITTED THE SAID (giving his name)
TO BECOME A CITIZEN OF THE
UNITED STATES." If the paper does
not contain this, the holder is not entitled
to a vote. He must be declared a citizen
under the act of Congress by a Court of
c ompetent jurisdiction.
THE PLATFORM.
WHAT THE "BOYS IN BLUET'
THINK OF "MYPOLICY."
The largest convention of Soldiers and
Sailors ever assembled on this continent
met in Pittsburgh, on the 27th ult. At the
close of their deliberations after a careful
consideration of the state of the country
the following patriotic platform was unani
mously adopted:
By the soldiers and sailors of the army and
navy of the United States in convention as
sembled, be it
1. Resolved, That the action of the present
Congress in passing ihe pending Constitu
tional Amendment is wise prudent and just.
It clearly defines American citizenship and
guarantees all his rights to every citizen.
It places on a just and equal basis the right
of representation, making the vote of a man
in one State equally potent with the vote of
another man in any State.
It righteously excludes from places of hon
or and trust the chief conspirators and guilti
est rebels whose perjured crimes have drench
ed the land in fraternal blood.
It puts into the very frame of our govern
ment the involability of the national debt,
and the nullity forever of all obligations con
tracted in support of the rebellion. [Ap
plause]
2. Resolved, That it is unfortunate for the
country that these propositions have not
been received in the spirit of conciliation,
clemency and fraternal feeling in which they
were offered as they are the mildest terms
ever granted to subdued re'.i [Applause]
3. Resolved. That the Resident as an Ex
ecutive officer, has no right to a policy as
against the Legislative Department of the
Government. [Applause] That his attempt
to fasten his scheme of Reconstruction upon
the country is as dangerous as it is unwise.
His acts in sustaining it hare retarded the
restoration of jieace and unity. They have
conceited conquered rebels into impudent
claimants to rights which they have forfeited,
and places which they have desecrated. If
consummated, it would render the sacrifices
of the nation useless. the loss of the lives of
our buried comrades vain, and the war in
irhich we hare so gloriously triumphed what
his present friends at Chicago, in 1864 de
clared to be a failure. [Applause. ]
4. Resolved, That the rights of me con
querer to legislate for the conquered has been
recognized by the public law of all civilized
nations. By the Operation of that law, for
the conservation of the good of the whole
country; Congress has the undoubted right to
establish measures for the conduct of the
revolted Btates, and to all acts of legislation
that are necessary for the complete restora
tion of the Union.
5. Resolved That when the President claims
that, by the aid of the Army and Navy, he
might have made himself Dictator, he insult
ed every soldier and sailor in the Republic.
He ought distinctly to understand that the
tried patriots of this nation can never be used
to overthrow civil liberty or popular govern
ment. [Applause.]
6. Resolved, That the neutrality laws
should be so amended as to give the fullest
liberty to the citizen consistent with the
national faith. That the great Union Repub
lican party is pledged to sustain liberty and
equality of rights everywhete. and, therefore,
we tender to all peoples struggling for free
dom our sympathy and cordial co-operation.
[Applause.]
7. Resolved, That the Union men of the
South, without distinction of race or color,
are entitled to the gratitude of every loyal
soldier and sailor who served his country in
suppressing the rebellion ; and that, in their
present dark hour of trial, when they art
being persecuted by thousands, solely be
cause they are now and have been true to'the
Government, we will not proTe recreant to
our obligation, but will stand by and protect,
with our lives if necessary, those brave men
who remain true to us when all around are
false and faithless. [Applause.]
8. Resolved, That the public domain, as
the common property of the nation, ought to
be sacredly held devoted to the benefit of the
nation's defenders: that Congress ought to
legislate in regard to bounties and pensions
with the most exact and impartial justice to
all soldiers and sailors. [Applause.]
y. Resolved That in reorganizing the army
justice, to the volunteer officers and soldiers
demand that faithful and efficient service in
the field ought to be held equivalent to §n
education at West Point. [Great applause.]
10. Resolved, That any officer, soldier or
sailor, who left his flag to serve with our ene
mies, ought never to have place in the army
or navy of the Union. [Applause.]
VOTE EARLY.
Republicans vote early, and then look af
ter those who are not at the polls by ten
o'clock. Send out wagons for all these who
cannot come of themselves.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM GEN.
GRANT.
He Denies that Anybody has a Right to
Commit Him to "My Policy."
From the New Albany (Ind.) Daily Commer
cial, September iith.
Mr. Kerr, in his speech at Hardinsburg,
startled his hearers by the assertion that
General Grant was a firm supporter of
President Johnson and "bis policy " The
sensation created by this extraordinary state
ment was considerably marred upon the
proof being called for and_ produced in the
form of a letter to- Mr. Kerr from Brevet
Brigadier General W. S. Hillyer, of New
York city. General Gresham, not feeling
completely satisfied with the proof addu
ced, wrote to General Grant concerning it,
with the following result. It has been an
nounced on several occasions that the citi
zens of New Albany would be favored with
a speech from General Hillyer at some time
before the ensuing election. Will General
Hillyer come after this severe rebuke ?

Were you drunk, or were you crazy, or both, "Col.

When you gave vont to those sentiments of hate

Towards that revered Statesman, that patriot
sacred martyr—
Ah! most valiant (?) "Co!." I fear you've "caught

That surely will not pay!
But really "Col. Tate," I declare npon my eyes,
That your insane utterances nobody did surprise—
From one as green grate.

You didn't help your cause:

DIED.
Sept. 18th. 1860, at her residence in Bedford,
SUSAN DILL: aged 17 years, 6 months, 19 days.
This estimable lady had been for many years a
member of the 3d. E. CburA, during which time
she was remarkable for her religious devotions.
Although in humble circumstances, yet she was'
the friend alike of the rich and of the poor, and
possessed the confidence and esteem of both. The
children leved her. It was not unnsual to see
them throng around her on the street with the
merry greeting of—"ATST SRSAIRI"
The closing scene was a remarkable one.
Death had no terrors for the dying saint. Her
countenance lighted up with the joys of a full sal
vation, as weeping friends gathered around to
hear the last "good by." A solemn silence reign
ed throughout the room. It seemed as if bright
angels had from glory come, to hear the happy
spirit home. PASTOR.
Be on the Alert I Danger is at Hand.
This has been a sickly season. The medical
faculty prophesy evil in the future. They think
pest:!en<e is on the wing for America. Pappose
this to be true, what is the best defense against
it? REDOUBLED NERVOUS VIGOR. This
is the only protection against PANIC, as well as
again.-t the PRINCIPLE OF INFECTION.
Why do not those who predict the epidemic pro
pose an adequate preventative? There Is one; a
tonic, nervine and alterative, competent to shield
the system against the subtle elements of disease,
whether thy float hither on .ae winds from dis
tant lands, < r rise like vapor from our own soil,
or are incorporated with the universal fluid. This
ONE PREVENTIVE, of which there is no du
plicate among the compounds either of the Old
World or the New, is
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Remember that it is a specific for all the com-
IniriU which lay the system open to visitations
of deadly epidemics. If yon are dyspeptic, it re
news the vigor of your digestive powers, gives
you appetite, and restores your cheerfulness. If
you are nervous, it invigorates every fibre of your
nervous system, from the base of the brain, where
it begins, to the extremities, where it terminates.
If you arc bilious, it disciplines your unruly liver
and brings the action of that organ into harmony
with the laws of health. It is, in short, an invig
orant and alterative so powerful that Nature, with
Hostettcr's Bitters for her ally, may bid defiance
alike to native malaria and foreign infection. If
this enemy we hear of, this disease which is deso

Persona of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, prjpitation of the heart, lack of
appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con
stipation, Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not
try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS,
which are now recommended by the highest med
ical authorities, and warranted to produce an t'ae
mediafe beneficial effect. They are exceedingly
agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supersede all
other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulent is
required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite.
They are an antidote to change of water and diet.
They strengthen the system and enliven the
mind.
They prcveht miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity of the
stomach.
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head
ache.
They make the weak strong, the languid bril
liant, and are exhausted nature's great restorer.
They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya
bark, wintergrecn, sassafras, roots and herbs, all
preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. For
particulars, see circulars and testimonials around
each bottle.
Beware of impostors. Examine every bottle
See that it has our private B. S. stamp unmutila
tcd over the cork, with plantation scene, and our
signature on a fine steel plate side label. See that
our bottle is not refilled with spurious and dele
terious stuff. Any person pretending to sell
Plantation Bitters by the gallon or bulk, is an
impostor. Any person imitating this bottle, or
selling any other material therein, whether called
Plantation Sitters or not, is a criminal under the
C. s. Law, and will be so prosecuted by us. The
demand for Drake's Plantation Bitters, from la
dies, clergymen, merchants, 4c., is incrodible.
The simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we
present oftheir worth and superiority. They are
sold by all respectable druggists, grocers, physi
cians, hotels, saloons, steamboats and country
stores.

Have you a hurt child or a lame horse? Use the
Mexican Mustang Liniment.
For cuts, sprains, burns, swellings, and caked
breasts, the Mexican Mustang Liniment is a sure
cure.
For rheumatism, neuralgia, stiff joints, stings
and bites, there is nothing like the Mexican Mus
tang Liniment.
For spavined horses, the poli-eTil, ringbone
and sweeny, the Mexican Liniment never fails.
For wind-galls, scratches, big-head and splint,
the Mexican Mustang Liniment is vorih its
weight in gold.
Cuts, bruises, sprains and swellings, are so com
mon and certain to occur in every family, that a
bottle of this Liniment is the best investment that
can be made.
It is more certain than the doctor—it saves
time in sending for the doctor—it is cheaper than
the doctor, and should never be dispensed with.
"In lifting the kettle from the fire, it tipped
over and scalded my hands terribly. * • 4
The Mustang Liniment extracted the pain, caus
ed the sore to heal rapidly, and left very little
scar. CHAS. FOSTER, 420 Broad at., Phil.
Mr. S. Litch, of Hyde Park, Vt. writes: "My
horse was considered worthless, (spavin.) but
since the use of the Mustang Liniment, I have sold
him for $l5O. Tour Liniment is doing wonders
up here."

It is a most delightful Hair Dressing.
It eradicates scurf and dandruff.
It keeps the head cool and clean.
It m&keß the hair rich, soft and glossy.
It prevents hair turning gray and tailing of.
It restores hair upon prematurely bald heads.
This is just what Lyons Kathairon will do. It

sold by the car-load, and yet its almost incredible
demand is daily increasing, until there Is hardly a
country store that does not keep it, or a family
that does not use it.

Who would not be beautiful? Who would not
add to their beauty! What gives that marble
purity and distingue appearance we observe upon
the stage and in the city belle! It is no longer a
secret. They use 1 lagan's Magnolia Balm. Its
continued use removes tan, freckles, pimples, and
roughness, from the face and hands, and leaves
the complexion smooth, transparent, blooming
and ravishing. I'nlike many cosmetics, it con
tains no material injurious to the skin. Any
Druggist will order it for you, if not on hand, at
50 cents per bottle.

original color by gradual absorption, in a most re
