Uknehai.: I tako tliu curliest oppor
liinlty of replying to your letter noti'
rying mo ormy unmtnntion lor vice
president of tho United States by the
National Democratic Convention re
cently held In the City of Now York.
I accept wltlioiit hesitation thoiioml
n:tton tendered In u iiuiiiiit'r no nrntl
tying, nnil give you und tliu Cumnilttcu
my tlinnks for tho very kind iiml com
puinotilary language In which you Imvo
conveyed to 1110 tho decision of tho
(.'(invention.
I have carefully read tho resolutions
adopted by tho (Jonveutlon, mid most
cordially eoneur In every principle and
MMitlment thov nnnounce.
My opinion upon nil the questions
which (llscrlmlnn'u the great contend
Intr parties have been freely expressed
on nil suitable occasions, nnd I do not
deem It necessary nt this time to reiter
ate them.
Tho Issues upon which tho context
turns are clear and cannot be obscured
or distorted by tho sophistries of our
adversaries. They nil resolve them
selves into tho o'd and over recurring
strugglo of a few men to absorb tho po
litical power or tho nation. This effort
under every concelvnble name and dis
guise, has always characterized tho op
nonents of tho Democratic nartv. but
at no time has tho attempt assumed u
stiape so open nnu daring as in tuts con
test. Tho adversaries of freo and constl
tutlonal government, in defiance of the
express language or 1110 constitution,
have erected u military despotism in
ten of tho states of tho Union; havo
taken from tho President tho power
vested lu him by tho supremo law, nnd
havo deprived tho Supreme Court of Its
Jurisdiction, tho right of trial by Jury
and tho great writ of right, tho habcan
corpus, Hindus ol sntety lor every cup
zen, and which havo descended to us
from tho earliest traditions of our an
uestors, and which our revolutionary
fathers sought to secure to their poster
ity forever, in tho fundamental charter
of our liberties, havo been ruthlessly
trampled under foot by tho fragment
of a Congress; wholo Stntes nnd com
munities of people of our raco havo
been nttaiiiteu, convicted, condemned,
and deprived of their rights as citizens
without presentment or trial or wit
nesses, but Iho Congressional enactment
of ex pott facto laws and In dellanco of
tho Constitutional prohibition, denying
even to a full and loyal Congress tho
authority to pass any bill of nttnlnder
or ex postofacl law. Tho samo usurp
ing authority lias substituted as elect
ors, In plnco of tho men of our own
raco thus illegally attainted ami disfran
chised, a host of Ignorant negroes who
arc now supported in idleness with tho
public money, aim comuinea togetner
to strip tho white race of their birth
right, through tho management of
Freedinen's Bureaus and emlsarles
of conspirators in other States; nnd, to
complete tho oppression, the military
power of the nation has been placed at
their disposal In order to make tills bar
barism supreme. The military leader
under whose prestige this usurping
Congress lias taken refuge since tho
condemnation of their schemes by tho
free people of the North in tho elections
ofthe last year, nnd whom they have
selected as their candidate, to shield
themselves from the result of their own
wickedness and crime, has announced
his acceptance of tho nomination and
his willingness to maintain their usur
pations over Mieeightmilllonsof whlto
people at tnoHoutn, iixeu to tne eann
with his bayonets, lie exclaims: "Let
us havo peaert" ' 'Peace reigns 1 n War
saw," was the announcement which
heralded tho doom ot tho liberties of n
nation. "Tho Empire Is peace," ex
claimed Ilonapart when freedom and
Its defenders expired under tho sharp
edge of his sword. The peace to which
Grant invites us is the peace of despot
ism nnd death. Thoso who seek to re
store tho Constitution by executing tho
win oi tno people, condemning tne re
construction acts already denounced In
the elections of last year, (and which
will. I am convinced, be still moro em
phatically expressed by tho election of
tho Democratic candidate as President
ofthe United States,) ard denounced as
revolutionists by tho partisans of this
vindictive Congress. Negro suffrage
(wnich tno popular vote of xsew-YorK,
Netv-Jerscv.Pcnnsvlvunla.Ohio, Michi
gan, Connecticut nnd other States have
condemned as expressly against tho let
ter or tne constitution) must suinti, uo
c.iuso their Senators and Iteuresenta
tives have willed It. If tho people shall
again condemn these atrocious measures
by tho election of tho Democratic can
didate for President, they must not bo
disturbed. Although decided to bo un
constitutional by tho Supremo Court,
and although tho President is sworn to
maintain and support tho Constitution,
tho will of n fraction of a Congress, re
inforced with its partisan emissaries
sent to tho South, nnd supported thcru
uy tue soldiery, must stand against tne
will of tho people, mid tho decision of
tho Supremo Court, and the solemn
oatli of the President to maintain and
support tho Constitution. It is revolu
tionary to execute tho will of tho peo
ple; it is revolutionary to execute tliu
Judgment of tho Supremo Court ; Ills
revolutionary in tho President to keep
Inviolate his oatli to sustain tho Consti
tution. This false construction of tho
vital principle of our Government is
tho last resort of those who would havo
their arbitrary it-construction sway and
supersede our time-honored institu
tions. Tho nation will say tho Consti
tution must be restored and tho will of
tho people hl'uIm prevail. The appeal
to the peacelul ballot to attain this end
is not war. Is not revolution. They
inako war and revolution who attempt
tourrcst this quiet mode, of putting aside
unitary ucspousm auu tne usurpa
Hons of a fragment of aConeress. assert'
Ing absolutu power over that benign
system of regulated liberty left us by
our fathers. This must bo allowed to
take Its course. This Is the only road
to peace. It will come with tho dec-
tion of tho Democratic candidate, and
not with tho election of that mailed
warrior, whose bayonots aronow nt tho
throats of eight millions of people In the
South, to compel them to support him
ns a candidate for tho Presidency, and
to submit to tho domination of nn alien
raco of semi-barbarous men. No per
version of truth, or audacity of misrep
resentation, can exceed that which
halls this cnndldnto In arms ns an angel
of pence.
1 urn, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant.

On Monday evening last at the Club
neetlng, lllllliieyer Introduced a reso
lutlon which was advccaled by Bark
ley, giving one delegate from llloom to
Kline nnd Quick, and thoothcrto beott
and Polio. The. renolullon lkl not pass
finally. It was opposed by tho friends of
Kline and Quick.
I ndc pcndcntly of the 1 mpudence of of
ferlng such n thing before a Club, which
had no control over or business with tho
question, the coolness of the affair was
lncrea-ed, when thomovernnunavocnto
claimed to offer It as n measure of peace,
We like pence we have always labored
for It. we are for peace now, when tho
offer Is honest.
Hut in this case It Is not honest. When
tho Messrs M'Henry withdrew from tho
canvass and recommended Col. Kline,
we acquiesced. That wus a measure of
pence an offer of harmony n pledge
of unity. But "no" said Blllmoyer,
Bnrkley, Jacoby nnd Tate, there shall
be no peace, there shall bo no harmony,
there shall bo no unity. Col. Kllno
must be opposed, this effort nt nmlty
shall not succeed, thero must bon can
dldatc ngnlnst him.
They nro pretty fellows to talk
peace. Hut for them thero would havo
been penco nnd harmony. This contest
Is of their own seeking, not of ours. Wo
forbore until Ibrbearanco ceased to bo
virtue, and If we have been obliged to
handle some people without gloves.
they havo nobody to thank for It but
themselves.
Voters should remember that Col
Kline voted against tho Hcpeal of tho
Tonnage Tax, nnd any man who asserts
tho contrary publishes a base slander,
Woglvo the vote In full on tho final
pnssago of tho bill.

Notwithstanding tho war ended
lu 1SC5, the expenses of tho War and
Nuvy Departments during 1807, two
years after the war closed, were $5,000
OOOmoro than during tho flrstyear of tho
war. Where does all this mouey go ?
The expenses of these two departments
in 18C7 were over $14,000,000 moro than
in 1600, nnd from nil accounts the In
crease of 1803 will bo doublo that sum.
Again wo ask where docs all this mon
ey go? All efforts In Congress to re-
duco tho cxpenso have proven futile.
Tho Hadlcnls continue to squander tho
money and add to tho cost of living of
every man, woman, and child lu tho
country, In order that they may rovel
In luxury. Tho leaders of that party
arc now trying to elect Grant President,
that they may still revel In largo ex
penditures nnd plunder the national
treasury.
A look Back.
Two years ago Levi L. Tate, W. II.
acony, Itobcrt C. Fruit, Charles u.
Bnrkley, Tctcr Blllmoycr nnd somo
other men In Columbia county, bolted
tho regular nomination of Captain Chnl
faiit for Member of Assembly, nnd
brought out Lovl L. Tntoivsn volunteer
candidate, ostensibly against Ciialfant,
but really against Btickalow. Thoy
however carefully masked their object,
and the people In tho county wero gen
erally of the opinion that tho cause was
olther sympathy with Tate or npposl-
tion toChnlfant.
Finding shortly, however, that Tit to
had no strength, they entered Into a
conspiracy with I'alcmoii John and
Samuel Knorr to assist In tho election
of Tate, and thus carry their point.
Knorr, however, having but llttlo ex
perience ns a politician, blundered ter
ribly, In making tho nrrangemcut for
securing tho Radical voto to Tate, for
hodlscloscdtlictruoobject ofthe Bolters
which wns, ns wo havo snld, opposition
to Mr. Bucknlew.
His secret circular, dated n few days
before tho election and sent out with
the "Bolters Bogus Ticket," distinctly
stated the object of Tato's election to bo
'to break down tho Bucknlew despot-
Ism In this county."
Thus tho truth was at Inst out, nnd
tho instnnt Tnto nnd his co-conspirators
found that tho circular had got into the
hands of tho regular Democrats, and
their object completely discovered, tho
wholo plot concocted by thoBoltcrs and
Hndlcals broko down, and llzzled out
In soven votes for Tato nnd somo ten or
twelve scratched tickets serving to show
the Imnotcnco and malignity of tho
leaders.
But tho samo cabal Is again nt work.
Tho samo object Is ngnln In view, and
tho old rnnk and fllo Democrats nro
ngalu called upon to prevent tho suc
cess of the plot they defeated two years
ago. Wo say nil this In tho Interests of
tho party, tho whole party; and to show
that what wo have said Is strictly true,
wo append tho secret circular, and tho
bogus ticket. Read, ponder and bowaro
of tho men who enter Into combina
tions with P. John nnd tho Radicals.
Ori'icic ItEri'BLicAN Standing Com.,1
ULooMaiiirito, l'AM October 1, lsOJ.
Dkah Sin, With this mail I send
you tho regular Republican ticket.
You will sco that thoy aro got to tho
polls early on Tuesday morning. Make
It your business to sco that this is done.
Wo hnvo no candidate for Assembly,
nor for County officers. You will soo
that thero aro but two ballots for our
ticket this Fall. This is in accordance
with tho now law. Ono is labelled
"State," and contains these words,
" Governor John W. Geary." When
this ballot Is folded tho word " Stato"
appears on tho outside. Tho other Is la
belled "County" nnd contains theso
words:
" Congress Ulysses Mercur."
" Senate Alexander J. Frlck."
When folded tho word " County " ap
pears on tho outside.
To accommodato those Republicans
who desire to vote for Colonel Tato for
Assembly, lu order to break down the
Bucknlow despotism In this County, tho
" Democrat and Star" havo printed the
Republican ticket with Tato's namo
added. This matter Is left optional with
our friends. As wo havo no candidate
and If tho friends of Tate aro willing to
voto for Mercur. we Bhall offer no objec
tion. To accommodato thoso Democrats
Wlio voto for Mercur, tno full Demo
cratic ticket with Mereur's namo substi
tuted for that of Klwell will bo sent
you. Yours,
Samuel Knowi,
Chairman Standing Committee.
Tho following Is tho bogus Democrat
ic ticket printed by Doctor John, and
headed "Tho Regular Democratic Tick
et." STATE.
Streets In Bloomibnrg,
It Is n certain fact, that nn Improve
ment in any part of tho county Is nn
advantage to ovcry other portion. In
most counties of tho Stato, tho clttzons
tako a natural prldo in tho growing Im
portance of tho county town, as reflect
ing honor on, and giving position to
tho county ; but in this, tho caso seems
to bo roverscd, nnd tho moro mean nnd
shabby tho town looks, tho better satis
fied they nro with its nppenronco; nnd
somo people living In tho town nro so
short-sighted ns to bcllove, or so dishon
est ns to pretend they bcltovo tho Hanio
thing, nnd encourage tho opinion In
others. They forget that ovcry brick
laid Increases the taxable value of prop
erty, nnd Is thus n direct bcnellt to tho
wholo county mid Its funds.
But not only nro thoy guilty of this
folly or dishonesty, but they nro guilty
of tho still greater ono, of deceiving the
people in regard to tho opening of
streets, nnd Improvement of tho town
generally, by representing ccrtnln per
sons ns favoring, nnd certain others as
opposing tho opening of streets. When
a cnndldnto for Commissioner travels
tho county upon tho allegation that he
Is opposed to opening streets In Blooms,
burg, wo tnko It for granted that ho is,
upon tho samo principle, opposed to
opening streets In Berwick, and In
Cntnwlssn, nnd In Ccntrnlla, and that ho
Is opposed in llko manner, to thogencr
nl growth, nnd expansion, and prosper
ity of tho wholo county.
You might as well tako for an ofllcer
old Rip Van Winkle himself, who
slept for twenty years, and tho peoplo
all being of tho samo stamp, ho found
upon nwnklng, everything just ns ho
had left It, old, cttlcky, dingy, tumble
down ; the same. old tavern, tho same
old faded sign board, tho samo old horso
tied to tho samo old worm-eaten post
and tho samo blear eyed old hostler glv
ing the samo old horso tho samo old
drink of water out of tho samo old
wooden bucket. Hurrah' for old Rip
Van Winkle II
Streets nro opened In Bloomsburgand
In every other town In tho somo wny
that they nro opened In Centre town
ship, to wit : upon petition of tho cltl
zens, by viewers from other townships
nppolnted by tho Court, nnd who per
form their duties under onth. All this
fuss is therefore a charge of malfeasance
against tho gentlemen, nmong whom
was Judge McReynolds himself,
who havo acted as tho viewers. It Is
tlmo such foolery wns dono with, nnd
tho peoplo relieved from tho senseless
twnddle, nnd permitted to llvo in pcaco
nnd harmony, with mutual Interests
and wishes.
So It Is apparent too thnt tho Commls
sloncrs have nothing to do with tho
opening of streets, cither In the Town
ships, Towns or Boroughs; and the man
who reports what ho will or will not do
on tho subject, as Commissioner, is ig
uorant of his duties, and attempts to
usurp power not belonging to him. Tho
Court nnd tho viewers detcrmlno tho
question of opening ronds und streets
nnd wo presumo the Commissioner will
not undcrtnko to run them. Ho will
hnvo enough to do to mind his Icgltl
mnto business and lenvo theirs tothem
selves.
Tills assumption of power reminds us
of Miner's llttlo boy "Daddy, will wo
nil bo Governors now?" "No, you
fool, only mammy nnd me."
At the olectlon in 1860 in Bloom
Township It is well known that a few
then prominent Democrats, scratched
several names from tho regular Demo
cratic ticket. One, whoso ticket came
partly open, wns Robert C. Fruit.
Theso persons voted lato lu tho day,
they voted together, and at tho count
ing off, a batch of " hcratchcd " tickets
ciimo together. Charles G. Barkleyand
W. U. Jacoby voted In company with
Fruit and another gentleman, nnd four
"scratched" tickets wero found In ono
place together. Tho conclusion Is Irre
sistible.
This is tho siibstauco of a statement
made at tho limn by a member of the
Board and which wo bellovo has never
been contradicted.

In Now York.On tho 14th of July
Govorhor Seymour reached tho city
from Albany, Issued a, proclamation
that tho city nnd county were In a state
of Insurrection, tho form of law necess
ary to such nn cxcrclso of power hav
ing been complied with. On tho samo
day ho Issued an address to the peo
plo of tho city, In which ho inrormeu
them that riotous proceedings must nnd
should bo put down. So much for the
written facts; now for other facts. At
about 12 o'clock on tho 14th n largo
crowd was listening about tho Tribune
olllco to n mail who wns haranguing
them, Inciting nn attack on tho Tribune
building. At that moment, Governor
Seymour appearing on tho steps of tho
City Hall, thoy rnn over, Joined thoso
in tho Pnrk, and to tho loud cries of
'Seymour. Seymour," tho Governor
responded. Ho snld, "My friends;"
what should ho havo said? Thero were
no rioters beforo him ; thero was a mass
of excited laboring men, believing that
tho draft was Illegal, or If not illegal,
lncqultablo and unjust. What was tho
exact way to talk to such men ? First,
tote them that ho had sent ins nuiu
tant to Washington to seo that their
rights should bo protected. Second, to
tell them to net as good citizens and sc
euro safety to property nnd person .
Now why did tho mob temporarily
get tho uppcrhand ? Mayor Opdyke,
whom Republicans can bellovo, pro
claimed, July 10, that tho riot "would
"not hnvo interrupted tho pcaco for a
"day but for tho temporary absenco of
"all our organized local militia." jsow
let us sco how tho riot affected military
operations. On tho night of tho 13th
Leo crossed the Potomac auu Mcauo diu
not pursue. Now let us turn to a venc.
rnblo memory. Archbishop Hughes on
tho 17th nddrcsscd nn nsscmblngo. Ho
begun "They call you rioters." Ho
proceeded to tell thura that ho was their
father. What kind of language wns
thnt ? Wns It wiso or foolish ? Tho
Archbishop hnd lived long enough to
kuow thnt, In nddrosslng nn excited

So much for tho foolish gabblo of Nyo

for them to lash oven their own nd

A Cuiuouh Sioiit. Twenty thousand
dead Fish in the Canal. -Tho State
Cluard snys lately a curious nnd
unusual sight wns witnessed In tho Sus
quehanna canal. From early morn uu
til nightfall doad fish, turtles, frogs,
und cols woro floating down nnd tho
water changed to n beautiful green, nnd
beenmo so clear that tho bottom could
bo seen without difficulty. It has been
estimated thnt twenty or thirty thous
und fish must havo so floated down dur
ing tho day. Tho renl cnuso of this whole
sale slnughtcr is as yet unknown. Somo
nssert that it wns caused by tho sinking
of n canal boat loaded with llmo ; oth
ors that n sulphur spring abovo Clark's
Ferry suddenly burst yestorday morn
ing ; and others again that thoy woro
affected by coal oil refuse from n refin
ery near Rockvllle.
Sunstroke.
Tin: following facts from tho pen of
Dr. Harris of Now York, with reference-
to the prevention nnd treatment of sun
stroke nro of importance at this time.
when so many are stricken down with
tho exccsslvo hent :
1. When exposed to excessive heat
tho natural perspiration or sweating
must not bo checked. Let tho sweat
flow, nnd do not throw off all the flan
ncl garments.
2. Wash tho head and neck frequent.
ly In cold water, und If exposed to tho
sun or In uny very hot place, wenr up
on tho toil of tho head, under a lint or
otherwise, a light handkerchlof orother
thin folds of cloth wet with cold water.
Remember thnt tho hendnnd neck must
bo kept cool nnd nlso freo from tho press
ure of tight clothing.
3. If headache, dizziness, n feeling of
tightness across tho forehead , a falling
of sight, or n feeling of weakness nnd
prostration ("giving out") occurs, let
tho person Immediately go to a cool
placo nnd Ho down, with the bnck and
feet covered, nnd hnvo a few quarts of
cold water poured slowly upon the head
and sides of tho neck. If tho symptoms
nro not nt onco relieved, send for tho
nearest good physician.
4. What to do until tho physician
comes. If tho patient Is still sweating,
let him drink freely of cold black tea or
coffco ; tea is best. But if sweating lias
ceased thero Is very great danger. Then
tho head, face, neck and entire chest
should bo rapidly sponged with Icown
ter, nnd a bag of powdered ico,well cov
ered with a towel, should bo kept un
der tho head and back of tho neck ;
give a mixture of the carbonatoof am
monia (hartshorn) nnd muriate of am
monia, eight or ten grains of each In
wider, every ten or fifteen minutes, un
til tho pntlent rallies or sweats.
A WOW) OI' CAUTION AND lJXl'I.ANA-
TION.
Enfeebled, Intemperate, poorly fed,
overfed nnd Irritable persons nro most
in dnngcr of tho fatal effect of heat.
Peoplo who llvo andsleep In foul nlr,nnd
unventllated places nnd who nro over
worked nnd underfed, nnd who uso
Intoxicating drink nnd tho habit of
morning nnd evening drams, let
good black teu nnd coffeo, nnd good,
nourishing nnd well-cooKcd loon uo
regularly taken. Batho tho wholo
body early in tho morning In or
der to havo n clean skin nnd good na
tural sweating during the day. Labor
ers nnd others who hnvc much to do
should rlso so enrly thnt they can havo
several rests and kcop In tho shade from
eleven till four In theso very hot dnys;
nnd let tills most importnnt fact bo re
membered nnmcly, that by nnturnl
sweating (perspiration) tho body Is kept
healthfully cool when exposed to theso
terrible heats, nnd thnt over exortlon,
passion, nnd nil kinds of intemperance
must bo avoided.
In his noto to tho President of tho
Honrd of Health, Dr. Harris Justly in
sists thnt tho contractors, builders, nnd
other grent employers of lnbor, should
bo urged to bo conslderntoto their men
and give them tho advice nnd thooppor
tunlty for rest which they now need.
Tho fact thnt the flitt 1111k ii ('iMf

been experienced in moro than twenty
flvo years, should lead nil our fellow
citizens to uso ovcry menus posslblo to

This subject manifests moro interest

Is moro to bo gained or lost In tho con
test from your choice, than you may
suppose. Rome reflection mayenabloyou
to net Judiciously. Col, II. It. Kllno Is
violently assailed by u fow designing
politicians who euro not so much for his
success or defeat because he Is not tho
man thoy nro nfter. Thero ore other liv
llucnces brought to bear against him
outside of our district for tho samo pur

The assault Is not upon Kline, but
upon Senator IJuckalew, hoping to trl
urn nil over him with tho defeat of Col.
Kllno. Thoy daro not openly denounco
tho Hon. (Senator, for tho peoplo aro
wan him, and they know it. All Indl
reel means aro resorted to bring about
his defeat, by bringing uut candidates
by no meons friendly to him, Tho oh
Ject In this contest, Is to make his chaib
