BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, OCT 2% IW
FACTIONALISM IN THE REPUB
LICAN PARTY.
The history of the Republican party in
the Untied States is the history of progress
and liberty. Were it to die to morrow, it
would leave such a record as 110 other party
in the history of the world ha* left, it is ha
*ed upon the eternal principles of liberty and
justice, and though now end then bold men
have endeavored to wield it for their own po
litical aggrandizement, yet when the great
masses of the party have been reached, they
have adhered steadfastly to principles with
out any regurd for the creatures of their
wi II.
This is as it should be. The Republican
party was never organized for the mere, per
sonal aggrandizement of tnen a- individual*.
It was organised and maintain- its itruatiira
tion for the promotion of the orim-iples pro
mulgatcd by the Declaration ol American
Independence. And when it cea.es to advo
catc such principles, then it has no longer
any right to ask the adherence of its hprcto
tore faithful advocates. The bond which
has heretofore, bound them will tbct bo
severed, and they will be left free to act
where they find congenial principles.
In Pennsylvania, however, a few men have
endeavored to elevate themselves to the pre
judice of the principles so plainly laid down
in the Republican creed. It i this
'luit tee desire to enter our solemn protest.
There is no reason why the Republican par
ty should throw itself into the bands of any
individual or individuals. Every locality
has within itself sufficient talents and patriot- !
istn to sustain the vitality necessary to give
it success, and to proclaim its great funda
mental truths. This being the ease, no one
man i necessary at its head to hold it togeth
er, and the man who attempts to force him
self by mcmey or other improper means, un
less it were by mere weight of talents, to a
position where he wift be regarded as the
exponent of Republican principles, is a
usurper and should be discountenanced by
every well wisher oftheorra nidation It mar
be dangerous to give utterance to such ten- |
timcnts, lest the author of them lie " ruark-
Ed for future reference." But we waut it
distinctly understood that the only standard
of superiority with us is brains, and that we
are the tools of no man or set of men, nor
shall we allow the Republican party to be
come the mere vehicle to cany selfish and
vain men into power if wc can avoid it.
The )?reat Republican party of the great
state of Pennsylvania, for the last half dozen
years,has presented the humiliatingspeetacle
of contending between two individuals, as if
upon the success of the one or the other de
pended the success of the principles of |>o
litical liberty for all time to conic. The con
test between these gentlemen reminds us of
an old schoolboy play, wherein the leaders
Or captains endeavor to seize the party at
tached to the Coat' tail of the opposite leader
or captain, and attach them to his own
Ihe "little wanion noys wno participate
in this play are truly to be pitied, if not exe
crated. And strange to say not (infrequent- j
!y men of talents have figured in the rear of
these partizans, and kicked and floundered
about as if all depended upon the amount of
•lust that they could kick up. Such men
generally have their price and arc rendering
service in return for "value received," or
for what they expect to receive.
The Republican Party must raise itself
above these "rings," formed for mere spoils,
or die of corruption. It is the fate of every
great party, and the only manner in which
'he evil can be eradicated is for the rank
and tile to ignore politicians and select men |
from tlicir ranks who are known to be hon
est. Men stand ready in almost eVcrycOtn- j
uiunity to sell out to the highest bidder,
without any regard as to who is sacrificed,
legislatures are bribed almost by wholesale, ,
and corruption stalks abroad in high places !
as if It were honorable for men to doal in
the consciences ot their fellow men. Much .
of this corruption comes from the factional
ism of which we speak. The time has ar
rived when the honest advocates of Repub
lican principles should apply the fed to
their trickey brethren, and we mean to do
t and "spare not," let come what will.
'I'HE persons who asked the liegislaturc
last winter not to legalize the. running of cars
on Sunday 7 in Philadelphia, if they desire to
be consistent, will ask it this winter to prohi
bit the run oing of carriages. Their should be
□o difference ; they both run on wheels and
are droveu by horses. Our doctrine is that
if either is to be permitted to run, the one
that will accommodate the greatest number
at the least cost should be preferred. The
rich man should enjoy no advantage of the
poor mot We will sec who will circulate
petitions, praying the Legislature to prohibit
the running of carnages on Sunday T The
people of Philadelphia make a great mistake,
We think, io applying the legislature.
Why not apply to the courts for sensible con
struction of the Sunday Law of IT'J4 ? P.
How NOT TO DO rr.—-This question bids
fair at lost to be solved by the Connellsville
and Southern Pennsylvania Rail road Co.,
iu its hacuUdK efforts to construct that por
tion of the road between this point and 311.
Dallas. The force of work-men engaged on
the approaches to the tufm*) has been
steadily increased ever si nee the wrk was
first begun by John Crawley with a wheel
barrow last spring until they now number,
all told, twenty men, two boys, and two old
horses. The work goes bravely on, and if
no UDforseen difficulties occur we may confi
dently look for the completion of the first
six miles about the fifth day of April Anno
Domini 1901.
THE little victories this Fall have so ela
ted the Copperheads that they arc deter
mined to trot out their representative men.
For instance Vallandigham is to succeed
Hon. Benj. Wade in the United States Sen
ate, and Fernando Wood is to be Mayor of
New York. These fellows were obliged to
hide their heads lest they might injure the
cause, but since their slight successes they
imagine they cAU trot them out with safety.
Copperhead's arc satnc to-day that they
were during the rcbclliorf.
THK Philadelphia Morning Post of Sat
urday last, contains a special despatch from
Washington, in which a correspondence be
tween Dr. Liber and General Grant is allu
j ded toand in which the Gcneralis reported to
have said that he trusts he may have strength
to answer any raspottsihitity that matf detytlvr
I upon hint—no matter hoic solemn it may he,
i he will not hesitate to accept it if the country
I demand* it.
This must mean the Presidency ?

THE liewistown Gazette asserts that the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company
and its employees played an active part in
securing the defeat of the Senatorial candi
dates in that Senatorial District Wc are
rather pleased to hear that the Centralis
taking an active part in politics. The peo
ple only want to understand the matter and
they will blow the Monopoly "higher than
a kite."
A FEW regular soldiers stationed at Foi t
Delaware, citizens of Pennsylvania, came to
the conclusion that they were entitled to
vote at the late election, under the Pennsyl
vania volunteer election law, and had their
votes returned. Of course it was only a
misconstruction of the law. The Copper
heads set up a great cry of fraud over this
for the purpose of covering up their frauds
in Philadelphia. It is the old cry of "stop
thief" over again.
THE Copperheads of Pittsburg had a
great demonstration on last Saturday night
over the result of the elections of Pennsyl
vania and Ohio. While Judge Thurman
of Ohio was addressing them, the bottom
burst out of their platform and down went
the whole mass of Copperhead humanity.
It was only the usual premonition that
Copperheadism receives before an over
whelming defeat. We remember a similar
warning in this place several years ago.
THE late Republican defeat in this State
reminds us very much of the battle of An
tietam. In that engagement it was said
that McClellan had 16,000 as a reserve, but
did not find it conveinent to use them. In
the late political contest we bad 40,000 as a
reserve and our officers faild to rush them
into the fight. The next engagement we
intend to fight without reserves, so Cops
stand from under.
THE official vote of Pennsylvania, as will
be learned by reference to the official table
in another column, foots up 267,746 for
Sharswood and 266,824 for Williams, leav
ing a majority of 922 for the former. The
Republican vote fell 40,450 short of the
vote cast for Governor Geary, while the
Copperhead vote fell nnlv 22.35"
is an easv matter to gain Copperhead victo
ries under such circumstances.
THE Gettysburg Star says that '"it is not
every editot ial firm that can boast of a L.
L. D." If these cabalistic letters denote
what the wag said they denoted when con
ferred upon Hon. John Tyler—"Lie Like
Damnation"—every Copperhead office in
the State can boast of at least one.
THE Pennsylvania Central has come down
from the Legislature to the people, it
seems, if all the charges are correct. It
will find that the people will be much hard
er to manipulate than the Legislature. We
i hope to hear a good account from the latter.
j Gov. BROWNI.OW, of Tennessee, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for United
States Senator. Wc wish Tennessee could
find some one to represent her who would
j add to the dignity of the United States
Senate rather than detract from it.
THE late election in Philadelphia should
satisfy the Republican members of the Legis
lature that Philadelphia's voice in her local
affairs should be respected. A word to the
wise is sufficient. D.
THE Harrisburg Telegraph blundered
several times last week in announcing tlie
official vote in a manner that was not in
; tended to benefit the Republican Party. It
would be well in such eases to look before
! leaping.
THE Franklin Repository, printed at
Chambersburg, Pa., and edited by A. K.
McClore —a paper standing iu the front
ranks of the Radical organs in the State
places at the head of its columns the q|mc
of U. S. Grant, as an expression of the
editor's choice of a liepuhlican candidate for
! tho prootdoncy. Tho oditor ooyo :
In preferring General Grant we are in
fluenced not by any considerartiou ol avail
ability, but are prompted thereto by what
wc consider the man's own superior qualifi
cations and the country's greatest need.
S Honest and sagayious in his views, firm iu
bis cojvictions, determined and inflexible in
his purpose, and above all devotedly attach
ed to the great principles of freedom on
which our Republic is built, he seems espe
| eially fitted for the great work that will de
volve upon Mr. Johnson's successor. More
; than all others he knows the value of the
Government we would preserve and inain

: rescued it from threatened destruction, and
knows how cheerfully the ransom was paid.
No one knows better its condition to-day,
its strength, its weakness, its glory, its
shame. lie is in fullest sympathy with its

' in serving them. Therefore with the utmost
confidence in his wisdom, his integrity and
patriotism, and anxious only, that the affairs
of the Republic shall be administered to its
own good and the highest welfare of its
' citizens, we nominate for the next President

clock in the afternoon, and then Republi

The Contested Elections in Philadel
phia.
On Friday, in the Court of Common
Pleas, Philadelphia, Wo. B. Mann, Esq.,
| iiled three separate petitions protesting
against Wm. A. Iseeeh, Joseph Megary
I and General John F. Ballicr being allowed
[ to occupy and perform the duties of the
offices of Register of Wills, Clerk of Or
phan's Court and City Commi< s i oner rcs _
pectively. * The petitions, after a general
allegation of fraud, set forth that
"The election officers in said divisions
falsely and fraudulently permitted and sufier
! Ed a large number of persons not qualified
voters of said divisions, to vote at said elec
tion, to the number of 1,949 and upwards,
whose votes were taken and counted in the
general return for said offices whose names
were not on the list furnished by the City
Commissioners to the election officers, with
out requiring or receiving proof of the qual
ifications of said voters, and without requir
ing or receiving proof by a qualified elector
of the residence in said divisions of said vo
ters, and without adding the names of the
persons making proof to the list furnished
by the City Commissioners. They falsely
and fraudulently permitted a large number
of persons, to the number of 411 and up
wards, not qualified to votein said divisions,
whose votes were taken and counted in the
general return for the said office of City
Commissioner whose names are to your pe
titioners unknown, who voted in the names
of those who were upon the list furnished
by the City Commissioner to the election
officers of said divisions."
Other instances of fraud are alleged, and
twenty-four election divisions in the Second,
Third, Fourth, Filth, Eighth, Seventeenth
and Twenty-fifth wards were recited, in
which 1,949 persons voted who were not
iiualificd and 411 in the names of others.
These figures, it is said, have been arrived at
by actual count, and when proved to the sat
isfaction of the Court will show that Messrs.
Campbell, Ratter and Crwiler, Republic
ans, have been elected to the above offices by
majorities of 832,684 aDd 181 respectively.
If the contestants succeed in proving these
frauds, and secure their offices, as it is
claimed they will, then Judge William's
election to the Supreme Bench will necessa
rily follow.— Pittsburg Commercial.
The Contested Elections.
The contested elections in this city, of the
Register of Wills, City Commissioner and
Clerk of the Orphau'B Court, arc destined
to receive much attention. Hitherto there
has been no case in which so many officers
harp hpon contested t. one time, and the
evidence, pro and con, in each case, will
; have influence upon the others. General
; Leech was returned as elected by a majority
:of 1198 votes. It is charged that the true
state of the poll will show that bis opponent,
William Y. Campbell, was elected by a ma
jority of 835. It is alleged that instead of
Joseph Megary being elected Clerk of the
Orphan's Court by a majority of 1317 votes,
the true majority was for Richard M. Bat
turs 684 votes. General Ballier's majority
was at 1734; it is declared that J. F. llrwi
lcr was elected by a majority of 817 votes.
The allegations of fraud are made against
the officers of election in certain divisions of
the Second, Third, Foarth, Fifth, Eighth,
Seventeenth and Twenty-fifth Wards. The
character of the alleged frauds is as follows:
—Allowing persons not qualified as voters j
and whose names are not on the lists of tax
ables, to vote, without requiring proof of
their right, residence and payment of taxes,
as is necessary in such cases; allowing per
sons not qualified to personate citizens who
are entitled; neglecting to mark the letter
"V" opposite the names of persons who
had voted; refusing to inquire into the qual
ifications of voters legally challenged, and
other acts in violation of the law. The alle
gation is, that the votes in the divisions and
precincts specified were thereby rendered il
legal, and it is claimed that the whole vote
in these division should be stricken out and
virtually annulled. Thus far there is noth
ing but the allegation of the petitions of
the contestants. The parties claiming the
offices have ten days to answer, and if the
reply takes issue upon the charges made
there will be a long and tedious investiga
tion which may delay the settlement of tho
question for several months.— Philadelphia
Inquirer,
EARNEST WORDS FROM liKRKIUI.
iOUAN.
We oJip the following eloquent and truth
ful passage from a recent speech ly < general
John Logan.
"Now I have something to say to the sol
diers, then lam done. I want to talk to
them earnestly. Yon will remember the
times we were called on to go against the
rebel bayonets; yon remember the many
battles through which you have passed, and
you ought to remember, in iny judgment,
who your friends where while passing
through those many scenes; you ought to
remember the men at home who were your
friends, and the men at home who were
your enemies; you ought to remember the
men at the South who were your lnends
and the men at the South who were your
enemies. Now, I appeal to you as honest
men to tell me if you ever saw a black man
South who was not loyal to the govern
ment? And if you saw few white men
South who were loyal to the government.
If this be true, remember your friends and
the men at home who were yout enemies.
And remember too, that during the whole
struggle the friends you had by your side
fell fighting for the preservation of your
liberties. And as you saw the boys when
they were drawn up in line of battle, and
bayonets bristling, and hear the cannons
roaring, and the musketry rattling, when
the battle raged and the havoc ol war was
about you, and carnage was spreading about
right and left—as you passed through these
scenes of blood, with your comrades falling
on the right and the left, front and rear, I
ask the soldier here to-day to tell me, while
storming the heights of Vicksburg, Ivenc
saw, or Gettysburg, or around the works of
Atlanta, where you lost scores of your com
rades—tell me if there was one of you then
that would have voted for a Copperhead?
If you would not have done it then, tell me
what you have done since then to cause you
to love them, but hate those that loved you
at that time? Let me say to you, if the
time ever comes when any true and patriotic
soldier can vote the ticket against which lie
fought, or the ticket that denied him the
principles he was fighting for during the
war, that man, before God and bis country,
forgets his manhood and his duty in years
gone by. I can say as a soldier, the time
never will come when I shall forget my duty
to the living, and especially my doty to the
dead. I never will forget myself so as to
allow the power to go into hands which
would refuse the mother the right to kneel
at the grave of IICT son, and pray for him
that was lost in battle, or aliow a sister to
scatter flowers on the graves of those sho
loved. I never can do that, and I tell you,
soldiers, to day, the voice of the dead, the
voice that is in each soldier, the
voice that is in each black dress, each baby's
mouth that lost its father in battle is enough
to appeal to you as a thundercloud, to break
open your ears and tell you you knew your
duty and did it not if you fail to vote for
Union men. Let us as Christian people and
patriots, let us enter a vow, and let it be en
rolled in heaven, that the time never shall
come when we shall forget the wrongs that
were done to our country by rebels, or their
sympathizing friends at the North. Keep
this country, State and nation in the hands
of a loyal army and true patriots. If you
will do that, you will have progress; you
will have a development of your country in
all its rich resources an l progress in civili
zation, the arts and sciences, such as will
make this country the garden spot of the
world toall mankind of every Dation, kind
red and # tongue, and whose temple of iiberty
will stand so high that every man may view
its grandeur, and receive the smiles of
heaven and the blessings of God.
We commend these earnest words to the
soldier boys of our own State.
Father Hyacinthe on the English Sun
day.
at i_f P ivoman owholie Congress at
Malines, Father Hyacinthe spoke on the
education of the working classes. The fol
lowing is a passage relating to the mode of
observing the Sabbath in France as compar
ed with Protestant countries:
"Often, on Sunday, passing through our
great towns, whither I am called to bear the
words of God, I seo the smoking pave
ments, the dust that rises, I hear the thou
sand .noises of toil, sod I say to tiryself, 'lt
is France that least obsetves the Sabbath.'
T y reply to me 'Respect liberty, respect
co eience.' 1 will my no harm of liberty; I
love it, but I do not confound it with li
cense. * * No, vie do not desire to im
pair liberty. But there is another objec
tion —the interests o 1 industry. Ijet us ex
amine two industrial powers which are fully
our equals, if they do not surpass us—Eng
land and the T'nitedStates. In London, in
the great city, whert floods of busy men fill
the streets in the uikst of the repeated and
incessant sound a! the echoes of labor,
there occurs every week a day which recalls
to me those of my childhood. The gigan
tic machine, which, on the eve of that day,
put all in movement, stous; everywhere re
pose and silence: the beds alone—-Protest
ant bells, 1 know, but they so well remem
ber to have been Catholic while awaiting
the hour to become so again—that they
send their sweet melodies_ heavenward. It
seems as if the very fogs of the Thames and
of the ocean had grown lighter.
"Let me not be told that the Sunday rest
in England is a remnant of feudality and
aristocracy, soon to be swept away by the
breath of Liberty. Behold iii America that
strong and young Anglo Saxon race, which
certainly is not ol the Middle Ages, and
which has in its coistitution the mo it com
plete liberty. It also observes the Sunday,
whilst waiting to rebccome Catholic, and
sends us across the ocean the same answer
as England—the silence of God at the blas
phemies of men. No; we do not ask that
the Suuday should be imposed upon the
people by laws of which the application
would offer more inconvenience than ad
vantage. We ask the liberty of the Sunday,
and Sunday by liberty. We only ask that
the public works stall scrupulously respect
the Sunday, and brce the individual to
blush before the state; that the princes of
industry, of thought, of eloquence, shall
act in concert; that they shall create fruitful
currents in the public mind; and little by
little things will change their aspect, noise
will die away, work will be suspended, and
and God will have His day, and the people
likewise."
POPULATION OF THE EARTH. — In the
first volume of Dr. Behm's "Geographical
Annual," lately published at Gotha, there
is an interesting article on the population of
the earth. This was estimated by Busch
ing in 178" at 1.000,000,(XX), by Fabri and
Btein in 1800 at 9,000,000,000, by Hors
chelmann in 1833 at 872,000,000, by Dieter
ici in 1850 at 1,288,000,000, and by Kelb in
186(3 at 1,220,000,000, Dr. Behm estimates

THE dearest living in the world is proba
bly that which is procured in New York.
A comparative statement of prices in New
York, Philadelphia, Paris, London, Berlin
and other prominent cities in all parts of the
world, shows that New York is the most ex
p< "five of all in the matter of food. The
whole cause of this social misfortune is said
to be that the food itself comes to the con
sumers through too many middle men, all
of whom must tako their percentage.

BORINO FOR IRON ORE ON THE SOOTH
Mot'NTAlN.—The Mining Register notices
the recent boring operations for iron ore on
South Mountain, about fourteen miles from
Carlisle, and says the indications arc that
there is an immensity of ore on the loca
tion. The largest of the pits opened shows
ore in the bottom and on all sides, neither
wall nor floor having been reached since ex
cavation to supply the furnaces was com
menced. Recently, however, with a view
to test the depth and area of the deposit, a
boring operation was started from the pit.
To dute one week ago the explorers had
bored down seventy-eight feet all the time
in ore, the ore improving in quality as depth
was attained, the progress made in sinking
meanwhile distinguishing from day to day,
ia consequence of the increasing density
and compactness of the ore as bored into
downwards.
The result disclosed by the boring done to
date of last report received, assures a face
of one hundred feet of ore. And the ex
jflorations will be continued till the bottom
and the boundaries of the deposit ore approx
imately ascertained, the testimony of trial
openings lang ago made, together with the
geological evidences which abound in the
vicinage, warrants the common opinion and
belief that the intact and compact deoosit
of ore is more than a quarter of a mile in
width and several miles in length. The ore
is exposed in old pith, all in range, for a
distance of six miles.
THE latest reports from England are that
though the harvests had somewhat improv
ed there was still evidence of a market for
very large imports. The trade in wheat for
the first three weeks of September shows that
there was imported in that time 2,258,583
bushels, against .826,369 bushels in corres
ponding time in 1866 —an increase of 1,432,
214 bushels. The exports in the first three
weeks of September were 129,624 bushels,
against 26,004 in same time in 1868 —an in
crease of 103,610 bushels. In the same
time the increased import of flour was over
forty thousand barrels, and the increased
exports but about three hundred barrels.

THE yellow fever, it seems, is a respecter

THE World says the President's views con
cerning the impeachment proposition have
undergone no change. He looks upon it as a
party movement, and is indifferent to it, but
if there is an attempt made to suspend him
from office, he will resist it with all the power
he can command.
THE President, it is learned, lately takes a
deep.interest in financial matters, and freely
consults with Secretary McCulloch on the
financial policy of the Government. They
both seem agreed in opposing any inflation of
the currency, and on the other h&Dd favor its
contraction.
GEN. J. W. FORSYTH, chief of Gen. Sheri

the Hon. Wm. Dennison. A brilliant party
were present, including Hon. K. M. Stanton
and Major General Sheridan.
AN Auburn (N. Y.) special to the Herald
says Mr. Seward is there, dining, wining,
smoking and telling stories with some of the
political fossils of the State. He has not a
pious spirit oj resignation, and will not resign
his seat in the Cabinet. After taking a view
of the political situation, he says New York
is certain to go for the Democrats next month.
RKCKNT arrivals from Virginia represent
political affairs in that State as badly mixed,
and it is thought that-the election will result
against the Convention. The Union conven
tions have been controlled by extreme contis
cation Radicals, who refused to compromise
with milder Republicans, but uomiuated men
of their own stripe. The result is that many
Republicans will vote against them.
A IJCTTKR of the Hon. Henry W. Williams
late Republican candidate for Supreme Judge
to the editor of The Press, dated Pittsburg,
October 12, contains the following good coun.
•el: "Instead of being discouraged, the loyal
citizens should gird up their loins for r.ext
year's Presidential contest, resolved on vic
tory; and if true to themselves and the princi
ples for which they have mad e such sacrifices
of blood and treasure, they will assurdly suc
ceed."
FROM official sources it is learned that the
case of Jefferson Davis will undoubtedly be
tried next month, whether Chief Justice
Chase shall preside or not. Each party de
fires and expects Judge Chase to hear the
case, and there is at this time no great reason
known that would prevent his presence,
should there be no extraordinary delay in
bringing the case before the Court.
NOTWITHSTANDING tbe formidable opposition
Juarez baa been re-elected President of
Mexico, that is, a majority of "electors"
favorable to him have been choaen. He will
have many difficulties to surmount, however,
in giving a staida government to tbe country
so many and turbulent ure tbe elements "ly

public do not appear to have cured the people
of tha old habit of ur melting whatever has the
promise of stability.
IT is thought probable that Congress, on
reassembling, will set itself at work on sub
jects of important legislat ion, and prominent
among these is the question of the currency.
A proposition, it is understood will be urged
to furtner increase the currency by adding
fifty to a hundred millions to the present vol
ume of national bank notes, to supply an al
leged want in the South and Southwest, tbe
presen* bank note circulation emanatiug en

West.
SANTA ANNA writes from his prison house
in Mexico to s relative on Staten Island that
he has no apprehensions for his life ut the
hands ofhis countrymen. He says he expects
they will officially decree his banishment from
Mexican soil, but he is praty well assured
they will neither hurt a hair of hie head nor
deprive him of a dollar s worth ol his pro
perty. He thinks he will be able to rejoin
his friends in the Ignited States
mas day. .Santa Anna is much more hopeful
as to his fate, it must he added, than are many
of bis friends here.
MCCI.KLI.A.V TO RUN AGAIN.—The Wash
ington dispatch to the Tribune says: "The
Democratic managers sent word some time
ago to Gen. McClellan to return home, the ob
ject for which he was sent to Europe by the
party having been accomplished. Accord
ingly he has, as already noticed, taken pas
sage in the Persia, and will be home in time
for the campaign. He is to be tbe nominee
of the party for President, with another ex
military msn on the ticket, for Vice-Presi
dent. The slate is all 'fixed,' and it is said
by those who ought to know that there is lit
tle probability that anything will occur to
change it. Great reliance is placed upon the
new secret society 'the Sons of Jackson,'
which is being actively recrnted in all parts of
the country, as an offset to tbe Grand Army
of the Republic."
"WK MIST GO AHEAD!"—Iu a speech de
livered in Lancaster on the 2"th of Septem
ber, 1866, Hon. Thaddeus Stevens uttered
these noble words:
We must go ahead, aud though I can do but
little, I shall do what I can; aud if, when 1
am dead, there sprouts any vigor from my
booes and my grave, to help posterity to pro
claim the game doctrines of universal Liberty
and universal Suffrage, and universal disen
thral ment from Kings, I shall be satisfied.
The goddess of Liberty is represented in an
cient statues as a very nice little goddess,
but very small. 1 want her to grow—to put
on the habiliments of mature age—until she
can embrace within her folds every nation and
tribe, and every human being under God's
canopy. I care not what you say of negro
equality—l care not what you say of radical
ism—these are my drinciples: and with the
help of God 1 shall die with them. I ask no
epitaph—l shall have none-but 1 shall go
with a pure consciousness of having tried to
serve the whole human race, and never hav
ing injured a human being.
