"WHY KOT nG IIOXCSTf"
The Jwlinstown Tribune puis thi3 ques
tion to the Fkekman in its last Issue.
Wo scarcely know how to reply, for next
to being very insulting the Tribune is very
dignified. If we were to reply according
to the terms of the charge of dishonesty
preferred aguinst us, the Tribune might
adopt tho "non-intercourse" system, as it
has done with our friend the Democrut,
and in that case it would bo without an
exchange in the county. Still, we must
say that we arc a truthful and "honest"
as the 2'ribum, with all Its pretentions.
We have not attacked, scarcely referred,
to tli'a course f the Tribune's patron, Mr.
MtrrH, iu Congress. Three years ago
(ianeral Grant reverted to the President
ever Lis own name, and after traveling
through the South for the purpose of as
certaiBtng th fact, that the Southern
. States arcepUd the results of the war in
. good faith that they were willing to abide
by "the terms of Lee's surrender, and might
safuly be permitted to govern themselves.
Frora that time till the present the Freed
raen's Bureau and the standing army have
been maintained in these States by Mr.
Morrell and his confreres in Congress, at
a cost of upwards of one hundred millions
a year, assessed upon nil the Northern
people excepting the bondholders.
And even now, when a portion of those
States aro fully admitted, even by the
fckw process of Radical reconstruction,
the ttanding armj and the Freedmens Bu
rtau still remain, and will remain by Mr.
Worrell's vote until after Vie next election,
at a further cost of over fifty millions, be
cause the act of the Hadical Kump doe3
aot provide for their discontinuance before
tho first of January next, in order that
tkey may be used in the meantime to aid
in the clcetion to the Presidency of tho
General of the army. And even this limit
vould not have bocn placed upon it were
it not that before the expiration of the
time fixed the Kump will be again in ses
sion, and will continue the Hureau and
the army, as fl has heretofore done.
The truthful Tribune says tho ''military
governments are being removed." Which
en, pray T Which of the ten Southern
States is not under military rule to-day ?
"Why not be honest," Mr. TrZunc
You say that General Price of Missouri,
who was a delegate to the Democratic
Convention, was a rebel General. Our
recollection is that ho was a Union Gen
eral. "Why don't you be honest V
, You say that "Seymour always opposed
Jlhe war and sympathized with the South."
-Got. Seymour sent more mn to the field
than any Governor in the Union, and
President Lincoln warmly thanked him for
his prompt assistance ia furnishing men
lo pnt down the rebellion. Hut fince you
liave abjarei Lincoln's peaceful policy hi
word may not pass current with you.-
Still, "why not bo honeefc?"
- We happened to bo in the executive
chamber at Ilarrisburg when Pennsylva
nia was invaded and the rebel army was
marching upon Ilarrisburg. There was
not a soldier at tire capital, and Governor
Cm tan implored Stanton in vain for help.
The firt word of comfort he got was a
telfgram from Gov. Seymour informing
kim that ht had two regiments on the way
to defend the capital of Pennsylvania; and
Csv. Curtin, "the soldier' friend," while
b denounced Stauton in the broadest
terms, returned Lis sincere thanks to Gov.
Seymour for Lis prompt and efficient aid
in the hour of our greatest peril. We
tnow the Tribune dislikes Curtin and has
frequently abased him, but "why not be
honest VI.
Why, Mr. Tribune, there are more
falsehoods and perversions in your columns
of last week than coi'ld be atoned for by
a year's repentance in sackcloth and ashes.
We mean to. be honest, and we were
honest as well as truthful when we charged
Mr. Morrell and his party with keeping
up military governments and the Freed"
men's Bureau at the South.
OUR PLATFOU3I.
We ask our readers of whatever party
to compare the bold and manly platform
of principles adopted .by the Democratic
National Convention with the miserable,
double-dealing, fehufflitig resolutions put
forth by the Hadicals. We have already
given it at length and again present it in
the columns of the Freeman, and now clip
the following abstract from the last issue
of the Johnstown Tribune, the Radical
organ of this county. Although the work
of a Hadical, we commend its fairness
and feel that it is a platform upon which
we must conquer: .......
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following is an abstract of the resolu
tions adopted by the New York Convention:
They d-jclare that the Democratic Tarty,
reposing trust in the intelligence and justice
of the people, standing upon the Constitu
tion, recognizing slavery and secession as
settled by the war or voluntary action of the
Southern States, and never to be renewed,
do demand the immediate restoration of all
the Southern States. Amnesty for all poli
tical offenses, and right of suffrage in all the
States ; paymeut of the public debt, where
the obligations do not expressly state on their
face, or ihe law under which they were
issued dots not prove payment in coin,
t-h uld be paid iu lawful money cf the United
States.
Fourth. Equal taxation of all property,
iucludiog Government bonds. -
Futh. One currency for the Government
aud people, laborer and officeholder, pen
sioner and soldier, producer and bondholder.
Sixth. Economy in the administration;
reduction in the r.Troy and navy ; abortion
of the Freedmen's Bureau, and of the in
quisitorial modes of collecting revenue,
tariff; for revenue, aud such equal taxatiou
under the internal revenue as will afford in
cidental protection to industry.
Seventh. Subordination of civil to milita
ry power.
The Eighth resolution declares equal
rights and protection for native and adopted
citizens, against the doctrine of immutable
allegiance ; "denounces usurpation and tyran
ny of the Radical party iu its violation of
the pledge to conduct ihe war only tor the
preservation of the Union ; it has subjugated
States, has overthrown the freedom of speech,
of the Press, established a system of espion
age, disregarded the habeas corpus, made of
the national capitol a bastile, threatened to
destroy the original jurisdiction of the Su
preme Court, and maligned the Chief Justice
because of his integrity on the trial of the
Presideut.
The report, in exclusion, declares that
the privilege and trust of suffrage belongs
exclusively to tho control of each State, and
that Congress has usurped it in violation
of the Constitution. It speeial'y denounces
the reconstruction acts as usurpative, nn
unconstitutional and void; soldiers' and
sailors' pensions to he faithfully paid ; pub
lic lands should be reserved for homesteads.
In conclusion, the report invites men of all
parties in the past to unite on this platform.
A Diabolical Slander.
If there is one place hotter than an
other in the deepest hell, the men who
undertake to make capital against Hora
tio Seymour, by uttering the cruel slander
that insanity is hereditary in his family,
ought to bo condemned to eternal torture
in the fiercest flames of that fiery spot.
The New York Sun, a Hadical paper,
edited by that eminent "Republican,"
Charles A.: Dana, formerly of the New
York Tribune, thus rebukes this outrage
ous and malicious falsehood ;
Attacks on Governor Setmocr
Some of our Republican cotemporaries at
tempt to prejudice the prospects of the Dem
ocratic ticket by intimat;ng or asserting
that Gov. Seymour is of so delicate a consti
tution that the duties of the Pnsidency will
break down the balance of his mind and
make him insane. Id that event, as Seua
tor Nye has asserted, Gen. Blair would be
come President, aud at once carry out his
programme of anarchy and bloodshed.
This appears to us a very improper mode
of political warfare, which must recoil upon
those who employ it. It seems designed to
wound private feelings rather than to ad
vance any legitimate purpose.
Governor Seymour is now fifty-seven years
old. He has been many years in public
life ; he has repeatedly been Governor of
New York, an office whose discharge exer
cises quite as great a strain upon the ner
vous system and the mental faculties as that
of the Presidency. In this station, and in
every other. Gov. Seymonr has exhibited ca
pacity and steadiness which have given him
a great reputation as a statesman. There
has been nothing in his public career to
justify the bugbear of possible insanity. Wc
trust that our republican friends will see the
wisdom of confining their attacks to the
principles, antecedents, platform and public
acts of their opponents, rather than to their
real or imaginary personal or physical pecu
liarities. The Keqistrt Law. Tho Radical
Legislature passed an odious registry law
last winter, and after putting the State to
sum $100,000, and Cambria county to
nearly $1,000, of expense in preparing
for its provisions, it has been declared
unconstitutional. Taxpaj'ers, remember
this. The bond holders care not how
much tax they impose on the poor laborer.
. .Seventy-seven white soldiers, belong
ing to the I2th Infantry, residing in the
Fifth ward in Washington city, whose
votes in the last election were not ounted
because they were cast for the Democratic
candidate, have petitioned Congress, pray
ing for the Bame rights as are granted to
negroes. Grant's keeper, Washburne,
and the rest of those wonderful Hadical
friends of the soldier, are keeping very
quiet about this petilion. Why don't
somebody howl about this disfranchise
ment of the soldier ?
. .The steamer China sailed for Europe,
on Wednesday last, with $."05,000 in gold
and silver for the payment of interest on
United States bonds held on the other side
of the Atlantic. No wonder the organs
of the European aristocracy want Grant
elected. It is a pleasant thing for them
to drain us of our specie, while we are
compeikid to use paper as a circulating
medium. "Fun for tho boys, but death
to the frogs."
Address or Hie Democratic State
Committee.
Democratic State Committee Rooms,")
Clearfield, Pa., July 14, 18C8. j".
To the People of Pennsylvania '
The political contest just entered into is
laden with grave results to your-imsioess
and to yourselves. -: .
The Hadical party asks a renewal of its
power arid a continuance of its misrule.
Defeated in every recent election, it now
disguises its principles and, trusts for suc
cess to the military prestige of an availa
ble candidate.
It offers to Grant the shadow of power,
as a price for securing, the reality of Con
gress. '
... Its 6UCCC63.J ill bring ycu continued
misiovernnienl by-a Hadical Cor gress, the
control of every department of the govern
ment by Hadical domination and the per
petuation of its iniquities, its extravagance,
its elevation of the negro, and its prostra
tion of your business interests.
It-came -into existence to benefit the
ne'ro ; its devotion to his interests gave
us four years of war, grinding taxation
and three thousand millions of debt ; its
determination to place the negro over the
white man has fur more than three years
kept society shattered, .commerce para
lyzed, industry prostrated, the national
credit below par aud the Union divided.
It has governed us for near eight years:
the history of its first administration is
written in four years of blood and record
ed in an enormous national debt ; the
history of its second admii istration is near
four years of peace, with absolute tower,
and a Union not restored, a government
of the sword, business destroyed, taxation
crushing iho energies of the people and
the negro vested with the balance of power.
Its end and aim is the preservation of
Radical power through the votes of ne
groes, aud to this will be sacrificed your
material interests, and, if necessary your
personal lights and your form of govern
ment. Military rule oppresses the nation and
cats out the substance of the people. It
is fit that Grant skould lead the party
that maintains that rule, for his laurels
were gathered by the sword alone.
The Democratic party, placing itself
upon the Constitution, pledges itself to
strict obedience thereto, to the mainten
ance of the government created thereby,
to the supremacy of law, to the reform cf
abuses, to economy in administration, to
equal taxation, and to justice to nil.
It antagonizes and denounces that infa
mous policy which, during moro than
three jears of peace, has overtaxed the
people, has governed by the sword and
has destroyed the credit of the nation.
lis po'icy is one of thoughtful foresight,
of cautious statesmanship; it seeks no
new path ; but by the line of the written
law, in the light of experience, it will
guide the Republic b ck to the highway
of progress and prosperity and will restore
to it national credit and fame.
It presents to you with pride its candi
date for Presidency : Horatio Seymour,
of New York, a statesman and an honett
man. Capable at.d pure, possassed of
large experience and gifted with the rarest
qualities of tho head and of the heart,
strong in intellect, sound in judgment and
prompt in action, none more competent to
lead us back to the haven of law and
order.
Pennsylvania owes him & debt of grati
tude for his prompt aid when her border
was attacked.
The issues are before you : they are,
The statesman against the soldier ; in
tellect against force ; the law against the
sword. , .
It i3 for you to determine which of
these will best suit our present unhappy
condition.

for bonds" in the teeth of his lamb like
followers, who have bawled themselves
hoarse crying repudiation against all who
favored tho doctrine, lie states the case
as it is, for he had a hand in making . the
law, yet the Democracy have been de
nounced as worse than traitors, for insist
ing upon the contract. Stevens said in
Congress on Friday last :
Mr. Steveks What was the law ? That
the interest should be paid up to a certain
time at six per cent, in coin. After the
bonds fell due they would be payable in
money jnst as the gentleman from Illinois
understood it; just as he (Mr. Stevens) un
derstood it; just as he well understood it
when the law was enacted; just as it was
explained on the floor a dozen times by the
Chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means. If he knew that any party in the
country would go for paying in coin that
which was payable in money, thu enhancing
the debt one-half ; if he knew there was such
a platform and such a determination on the
part of his own party he would, with Frank
Blair and all, vote for the other party.. He
would vote for no such swindle on the tax
payers of the country. He would vcte for
no such speculation in favor of the large
bondholders and millionaires. He repeated
though it was hard to say it even if Frank
Blair stood on the platform of paying accord
ing to the contract, and if the Republican
candidate stood on the platform of paying
the bloated speculators twice tho amount
agreed to be paid them, and of taxing his
constituents to death, he would vote for
Frank Blair, even if a worse man than Sey
mour was on the ticket. Much excitement

FOR TTE Alt STOMACHS,
There are soma people, and especially
'Republicans", who are disgusted with
Grant and their wn party, who earnestly
desired the nomination of Judge Chase,
because, - as v they say,, they could have
vted for him consistently," on account of
his "record in favor of the war." These
gentlemen, not having as yet tasted the
strong food of Democracy, do not know
its generous and wholesome qualities, and
their weak stomachs require a mild diet,
lest nausea should supervene. Now, the
Radical demagogues are striving hard to
make these squeamish folks believe that
if they swallow Horatio Seymour they
will get more copper than they cau possi
bly digest. For the benefit of these people,
and as a complete refutation of the Radical
calumnies against Co vernor Seymour, we
propose to print a leaf or two from the.
history of the war :
Washington, June 15, 18G3.
To his Excellency, Gov. Seymour :
The movements of the rebel forces iu Vir
ginia are now sufficiently developed to show
that General Lee, with his whole armyi is
moving forward to invade the States of Mary
land and Pennsylvania, and other States.
The Presideut, to repel the invasion
promptly, has called upon Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, Maryland and Western Yirgiuia,
for one hundred thousand uiilitia, for six
mouths, unless sooi.er discharged. It is im
portant to have the largest possible forco in
the least possible time, and if other States
would furnish militia for a short time, to be
credited in the draft, it would greatly ad
vance the object. Will you please inform
me immediately if, in answer to a special
call of the President, you can raise ami for
ward say twenty thousand militia as volun
teers, without bounty, to be. credited in the
draft of your State, or what number you can
possibly raise? . E. M. Stantok,
Secretary of War.
- Gov. Seymour immediately answered
that he would send 20,000 men to Penn
sylvania, and in a few hours after the
receipt of the dispatch, several repimer.ts
were on the march and the rest followed
soon thereafter.
Wasqisoton, June 15, 18C8.
Governor Seymour :
The Prebident desires me to return his
thanks, with those of this Department, fur
your prompt response. . A stroug movement
f your city regiments to Philadelphia would
be a very encouraging movement, and 'o
great good in giving strength iu that State.
Edwin M. Stantvn.
Secretary of War.
Four days afterwards, Secretary Stan
ton, by direction of President' Lincoln,
telegraphed to Governor Seymour's Adju
tant General as follows : ;
Washington, June 19, 18C3.
To Adjutant General bprague :
The President directs me to return Lis
thanks to his Excellency Governor Seymour,
fend his staff, fur their energetic and prompt
action. Whether any further force is likely
to Le required will be communicated to you
to-morrow, by which time it is expected tho
movements of the enemy will be moro fully
developed. Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
But Secretary Stanton, filled with an
overflowing gratitude to Governcr Sey
monr for hia prompt and candid support
of the Government, again telegraphed his
acknowledgments of the Governor's servi
ces, in the following emphatic and enthu
siastic terms : ' ,
War Dkpartmsnt, ) "
Washington, June 27, 18C3. J
Dear Sir I cannot forbear expressing to
you the deep obligation I feel for the prompt
and candid support you Lave given to the
Government in the present emergency. The
energy, activity and patriotism you havo ex
hibited I may be permitted personally and
officially to acknowledge, without arrogating
any personal claims on my part to such ser
vice, or to any service whatever.
I shall be happy always to be esteemed
your friend. -
-. Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
Ilis Excellency, Horatio Seymour.
" Let the "trooly loil' put that in their
pipes and smoke it. If the endorsement
of Seymour's patriotism by A. Lincoln
and E. M. Stanton has no weight with
"Republicans," then they would not be
lieve though one rose from the dead to
testify in that behalf. But, let Gov. Sey
mour's record speak for itself. In his
message to the New York Legislature in
January, 1803, occurs this passage:
"We must accept the condition of affairp
as they stand. At this moment the for
tunes of our country are influenced by the
result of battles. Our armies in the iiield
must be supported. Ail constitutional de
mands of our General Government must be
promptly responded lo. But, tear alone will
not save the Union. .The rule of action
which is used to put down nn ordinary in
surrection is not applicable to a wide spread
armed resistance of great communities. It
is wildness and folly to shut our eyes to this
truth. Under tu circumstances can the divi
sion of the Union be conceded. We will put
forih every exertion of power. We will hold
out every inducement to the people of the
South to return lo their allegiance, consistent
with honor.
"We will guarantee them every right,
every consideration, demanded by the .Con
stitution, and by that fraternal regard which
must prevail in a common country. JJui tee
can never voluntarily consent to the breaking
vp cf the Union of these Slates, or Vie destruc
tion of the Constitution." "
Again, in a proclamation issued ' by
Gov. Seymour, Oct. 29, 1863, in response
to President Lincoln's call for troops, he
said : '
'In this emergency it is the duty of all
citizens to listen to the appeal put forth by
the President, and to give efficient and
cheerful aid in filling up the thinned ranks
of our armies. It is due to our brethren in
the field, who have battled so heroically for
tho;Eag of our country, the Union of the
States, and to uphold the Constitution, that
prompt and voluntary assistance should be
sent to them in this moment of peril. They
went forth in the full confidence that they
would at all times receive from their fellow
citizens at home a generous aud efficient sup
port. "Every motive of pride and patriotism
should impel us to give this by voluntary
and cheerful contributions of men and mon
ey, and not by a forced conRcription or
coercive action on the part of the govern
ment." ,
And the people of New York, under the
leadership of their noble Governor, lived
up to and acted out these sentiments. Tn
fact, Governor Seymour, as the records of
the War Department show, porformed
more efficient servica in the raising and
equipment of troops than any Radical
Governor in ll the Union. What more
did Judge Chase do I How is his "war
record" any befterihan this ? We think
that no 4?epubljcan" who desired to vole
for Chase, can, after fully informing him
self in regard to Governor Seymour's an
tecedents, refuse to give hia support to the
Democratic nominee. Iarrisbury Patriot;

We wish to call tho particular attention of

ER and CLEANER which, as lately improved,
we claim is far superior to any oilier machine
now iu market. It is compact and easily por
table, simple in its construction, and therefore
easy to operate by the most inexperienced, and
will do its work with marvellous rapidity and
perfection, and with comparatively the least
demand upon the strength of the animals ciriv

We have made recent improvements in this
machine by which we are enabled to thorough
ly clkan the obain under almost any combi
nation of difficulties, aud we are now using an
entirely new and effective device lor relieving
the feeder of dust, thus making the operation
of threshing as comfortable and safe as with
the ordinary maehines it is annoying and fre
quently destructive of health.
These Machines are made of suitable sizes
for our "Star" Railway 2 Horse Power and lor
our "Star" Lever Powers for 4 and G horses.
