THE FREEMAN.
THURSDAY, : : : 0CT.8, 1S6S.
LOCAL AND PERSONAL
No oxe ever regretted baring obtained a
good education. Every young person can
get an education by attending the State Nor
mal Schooi at Edinboro.
Ocb Correspondents. If there is one
thing more than another upon whieh the
freeman can pride itself, it is the interesting
array of original contributions which appear
In its columus each week. No country paper
on our excla-ge list is so fortunate is this
raepect, aod these contributions from our
correspondents are always of the rUCst read
able, instructive, and often amusing charac
ti r. The series of letters written by Petro
leum V. Nasby, Jr., and which have been
published by us, have been a great source of
gratification and enjoyment to our readers,
and we are sure that all will regret if the
close of the political campaign should leave
no further work for Lis sarcastic pen. Nas
by, Jr., has shown himself a humorous wri
ter of rare merit, and he has our sincere
thanks, and the thanks of our readeis, for
the pleasure he has afforded to all who have
perused his witty epistles. Long may he
wave. Our regular (and sometimes irregu
lar) Altocna and Johnstown letters are al
ways trump cards, and we only regret that
others of the same sort do not reach us from
some localities as well represented on our
subscription books as they are. The Loretto
letter which we publish to-day is one of tho
best of its kind that has ever appeared in
our columns, and we think that "Tweesers"
owes it to himself and all the other readers
of the Freeman to let us hear from him fre
quently, So come again, and come often,
all of ye ! !
The People Moving. Since our last
is ue a series of splendid meetings have been
held iu Cambria county by the Democracy.
On Wednesday afternoon a meeting was i
held at ilenry Itager's, in Jackson township,
and at night another was held at Fairview,
in the same township. Able addiesses were
m:tde at both meetings.
On Thursday night the Democrats of llun
stcr township, had a large meeting, which
was addressed by Messrs. Johnston, Tieruey,
O.itman aud Scanlan. Minister will do her
whole duty.
On Friday night the Croyle township
Democrats met at Summerhill, and were ad
dressed by Messrs. Zimmerman, M'Laughlin.
Johns-ton and Tierney. The meeting was
largo and enthusiastic.
On Saturday afternoon Daniel M'Laugh
lin, Esq., addressed a meeting of Democrats
at the School House, at Summitville. Mr.
M'Closkey presided. The speech of Mr.
M'Laughlin was full of eloquence and sound
argument.
A very large meeting was held at Gallit
zln the Bame night, Mr. Charles O'Hagan,
presiding. Addresses were made by Messrs.
tihoemaker. Tierney, Johnston anJ M'Laugh
lin. The Democracy of Gallitzin are in full
spirits, and a good account may bo expected
from them.
Bbief Mention. Our regular Johnstown
letter did not reach us in time, and as we go
to press earlier than usual this week we are
furced to give it the go-by. A man named
rlick, hailing from Bedford county, 6tole a
horse, saddle and bridle from a citizen of
Johnstown, one night last week, and was
leisurely riding out of town when he was
arrested by Mr. A. J. Haws, and sent to the
jiil in this place. Charles Taj lor almost
disembowc lied James Murphy with a knife,
near Jolinsiown. on Saturday night week,
and it is tli v.ght the injured man will not
recover. ia lor has not been arrested
A large number ot foreigners obtained their
naturalization papers at the Argument Court
held in this place on Tuesday of this week.
For the most part they will vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
Not TauE. We are assured on the best
authority that there is no truth in the report
that a special ordinance was passed by tho
borough authorities of Loretto to prevent
the erection of the Radical pole in that
place on Thursday last. There is aa ordi
nan co in force there to the effect that no pole
shall be put up without security being first
given by those interested that they will as
sume all risks in the matter. The Demo
crats complied with this ordinance the
Radicals did not. Hence the Democratic
Tiole is within the borough limits, while the
Uadical pole, or stump, stands outside those
limits. These are the real facts, briefly
stated.
Its Reputation Established. Mr. M
L. Oatman has this week had printed a lot
of circulars containing testimonials from
some of our leading citizens in regard to the
acknowledged merits of the celebrated Me
tropolitan Oil manufactured and 6old by
turn. All these certificates unite in pronoun
cing this oil the best, safest, cheapef t and
roost satisfactory cow In use, and they should
convince all who have not tried it of the
propriety of doing so at once. Sold in this
place at tho cheap and extensive grocery
store of M. L. Oatman, High street, and sold
nowhere else in Ebonsburg.
Perfection Keachto. any ona who
lias experienced the great merits of Speer's
Anti-Dust Cooking and Heating Stoves it
would seem impossible to conceive of any
further improvement that could be made in
that way. They certainly possess all the
good qualities that col Id be desired, and no
housewife who has used either of them would
dispense with it on any condition. These
celebrated stoves are sold at manufacturer's
prices by Mr. George Huntley, who keeps an
abundant stock of hardware, tinware, glass
ware, groceries, etc., and deals with his cus
tomers on liberal terms.
Mbetinqs this Week. R. L. Johnston,
Esq., and other speakers will address the
citisens of Cambria county during the pres
ent week as follows: This (Wednesday)
evening at Garman's ;Mllls ; on Thursday
afternoon at Carrolltown, and in the even
ing at Leiden's; on Friday afternoou at
Walters', and in the evening at Troxell's
store ; on Saturday afternoon at St. Augus
tine and in the evening at Chest Springs.
Mr. Johnston desires and expects to meet
Republican speakers at the above points and
discuss the great questions before the people.

Johnstown Letter,
WBITTE3I BY PKTHOLEUM V. KASBT, B.
Our Tannery uzaftt again, and we made"
the hair fly in all direckshuns this time.
Thev tried tew impeach the head center, and
failed. They sed I had broke the laws of
the society by tellin' what the policy or the
party had been. There was sixteen counts
in the indictment, but as we had no consti
tution, no by- laws, and no oilier laves, the im
peachment fell tew the ground, and I was
acauitted by a vote of 13 tew 12, the hul
5 "votin'.
I then separated them cs the sheep are
separated from the goats, puttin' all that
voted fur me onto the right side, and all that
didn't onto the left sida.
"Now," sez I, "I have bin mistreated
and maltreated both, and I'm goin tew leave,
and jine the Dimocratic party, that my uncle
belongs tew, and 1 want all good meanin'
tanners to come along with me." Sea I, "If
we stay here we'll all go tew the devil shttfe,
for that's where the tanners is goin'." Then
I put the followin' questions and sentiments
for the society tew vote onto, the white side
votin' with rr.e, and the goats, or black side,
votin' t'other way :
Dj you believe it'a right tew jlne the
Democratic party ? White side, aye. Black
side, nay.
Do you believe that this is a white man's
government 1 While side. aye. Black side,
oay- ....
Do you believe that a white man is better
than a nigger? White side, aye. Black
side, nay.
Would you like to have black wives and
children, cousins, uncles, nieces, nephews
and grandma's 7 White side, nay. Black
side, aye.
Would you like tew sell your principles
and Votes for five dollars and a svrig uf
Grant whiskey? White side. nay. Black
eide, ayei
W ould you hot think it wrong for to colo
nize pepel onto a destrict, that don't belong
onto it, just tew carry fin election? Isn't
that all wrong ? White side, aye. Black
side, nay.
Isn t the soljur as good as a rich bond
holder, and hasn't be as good a rite tew be
paid in gold ? White side, aye. Biack side,
nay.
Sposin' the bondholder did giv7 his money
in the hour of the government's peril, didn't
the soljurs give their own bodies, and many
their "own lives ? White 6ide, aye. Black
side, nay.
Isn't it wrong tew exempt a bondholder.
who has a million of dollars invested onto
bonds, from tax, and then tax a poor soljur,
who Jit for his country ? White side, aye.
lilack side, nay.
Isn't it wrong tew squander the pepel's
money to impeach Presidents and head cen
ters jest tew carry the election ? White side,
aye. Black side, nay.
Isn't it wrong tew keep poor pepel work-
in' hard in the North, and payin of taxes,
jest tew raise money tew feed a million of
lazy southern niggersi White side, aye.
Black side, nay.
Isn't Congress only one-third of the gov
ernment, and shouldn't it respect the other
branches, the Supreme Court and the Presi
dent ? White side, aye. Black side, nay.
Isn't the government goin' tew the Red
Sulphur Springs jest as fast as the Republi
cans can carry it, and isn't it our dooty to
try and save it from goin' there ? White side,
aye. Black side, nay.
Isn't the Republican party jpst goin' in
fur speeculatin' off uv the pepel, and ain't
the leaders growin' rich on the taxation of
the poor man? White side, aye. Black
side, nay.
Don't the poor pepel pay all the tax after
all, while the rich can squeeze out of it, and
isn't a poor man a damphool fur votin' him
self and his family onto poverty 7 White
side, aye. Black side, nay.
Don't it take about one-half the revenue
tax to pay the horde of Assessors and Col
lectors, who are little better than thieves,
and who are livin' off uv the poor man's
labor? White side, aye. Black side, nay.
Isn't the Tanners, with their lamps, jest
another edition of the Wide-A wakes, the
Know-Nothins, and the Native Americans,
who, a few years ago. persecuted foreigners
and Catholics? White side, aye. Black
side, nay.
Isn't it a shame for men, sixty years uv
age, to be trampirg through the mud at
night tryin" to make a little lamp outshine
the moon, and won't they soon be as much
ashamed of themselves as the Know-Nothins
now are ? White side, aye. Black side, nay.
If a man is really Moil," wouldn't he
rather vote fur a wounded soldier, such as J.
P. Linton, than fur a man that fought for
his country through the bought sinews uv a
big Irish substitute? White side, aye. Black
side nay.
Isn't all these displays of lamps and boys
under age, travelin' round from meetin' to
meetin', calculated tew deeeive the honest
man and tew cheat the ballot-box ? White
side, aye. Black side, nay.
Isn't it wrong tew make laborers work
for one dollar and forty cents a day and then
take the profits off their labor to spend in
carryin' the eloction ? White side, aye.
Black side, nay.
Isn't it a 6i n and a shame fur white pepel
uv the North tew go deown onto the South
and drive honest white pepel from their
homes and give them tew niggers? White
side. aye. Black side, nay.
Then isn't it the dooty of every voter tew
go tew the poles and try to stay this torrent
of reeking corruption that is sweepm' us all
hellurds? White side, aye. Black side,
nay.
When we tuk these votes the white men
(many uf which were nice young men that
had belonged tew the Templers, but which
were induced tew jine the Tanners on ac
count uf Grant whiskey,) left the wigwam
and destroyed their lamps. The Blacks sot
there awhile, like the forlorn hope uv the
Council Chamber nf Pandmonium. The
next time we seed them was on last Satur
day, when they were onto the streets march
in' and playin' Aladdin's Lamp. They
looked fur all the world like a disconsolate
party, that had sold themselves, got the pay
and spent it, and were out uv funds, and
played out themselves. We couldn't stay
with them no longer, because we seed so
much cheatin' and colonizin' of voters.
Sometimes one man would bring to the As
sessor fifty or sixty names onto one ward, at
one time. This we didn't like, and we don't
believe that an 'onorable man would hold
onto an offis when elected that way. Then
we didn't like the way some pepel sold their
rights merely for the sake nt retaihin' their
posishun at the works, and how they sold
their principles tew. We couldn't stand
these tricks no longer. When they proposed,
in the Tannery, tew dress un wimmin in
men's clothes and take them tew the poles
tew vote as young men between twentv-one
and twenty-two, we sed It was a cheatin' uf
wimmen and men both, and so we come ont
from among the foul party. And when we
peed the conduct of the Red Republicans on
Saturday and Saturday nito, we felt thank
ful' that we left the party and took twelve
more along. Thero wus about two hun
dred lightnin' buggers in the processhun.
some from Ebensburg, some from Altoona,
and so on. but the one tftousand Allegheny
buggcra that was expected didn't come,

Perhaps the bribe wasn't big enough, as
wages are good about the city. .Perhaps
there wasn't rye bread and Grant whiskey
enough teW generate gas and light fur all.
There was som'thin' wrong. Perhaps the
ic&rkin men's league deoan to Pittsburg
done the business.
We feel assured that Linton and Porter
Will be elected. If defeated, fraad and tan
colored naturalization papers will do it. and
we repeat, will an 'onorable man hold an
offis that he is elected onto by fraud ?
Let Democrats beware, and let 'em turn
out, every one. There are sixty-five coun
ties in the State, and every county has, on
an average, twenty-five election deestricts.
One vote lost in each deestrict would make
a total loss of eighteen hundred and seventy
five votes enough tew carry the State.
This is my last letter before the election.--Good

Local Correspondence.
Altoona Citt, Oct. 5, 1868.
Friend Mac On Tuesday night last an
exceedingly sad and distressing occurrence
transpired on the Branch Railroad between
this city and Hollidaysburg. The circum
stances, as they have been related to me by a
friend, are about as follows : In the vicinity
of Canan's station a number of boys have
been in the habit of jumping on and off the
passenger cars while in motion, In direct op
position to the express command of Mr. Dent,
the conductor. On this occasion the boys
got on the platform of the rear car as usual,
and while Mr. Dent was coming through the
car to collect their fare they, all jumped off
except one young man named Thos. Camp-,
bell, who endeavored to avoid detection by
holding to the railing of the car and leaning
out as far as possible. While in that posi
tion the train passed over a bridge near the
station, and Campbell's head no doubt came
in contact with the frame work of the bridge,
which k hocked him from the car and killed
him almost instantly. A portion of his skull
and blood and hair was found upon one of
the iron belts of the bridge, which would
seem to establish the fact that he came to bis
death as indicated above, although several
other versions of the affair are in circulation.
By some Mr. Dent has been severely censured
and accused of pushing Campbell off the train
while it was under full headway, but as Mr.
Dent is one of the oldest, and has always been
esteemed one of the most faithful, safe and
efficient conductors in the employ of the Pa.
R. R. Co., it can scarcely ba credited that he
would be guilty of so jash and inhuman an
act. As the case, however, will be adjudica
ted by our Court, before which Mr. Deot has
been held in 4.000 bonds to appear. 1 for
bear further comment. Young Campbell
was between 19 and 20 years of age.
Quite an amusirjg Incident transpired here
the other evening. A large delegation of
soldiers going westward stopped a short time
in this place, and their presence seemed to
afford an opportunity to a number of "loil"
chaps to have a little sport at the expense of
the Democrats. Big with this purpose, one
of their number proposed three cheers for U-li-ass
Grant ; but nary response came from
the soldier boys. A few minutes afterwards,
however, the white boys in blue gave three
tremendous yells for Seymour and gallaut
Frank Blair, and abcut this time the Radical
chaps aforesaid discovered that they were
'barking up the wrong tree," and with their
heads hanging down they sneaked away,
looking about as much discomfitted as a pack
of curs that had been caught killing sheep.
By actual count there were 131 white boys
in blue for Seymour and Blair, and only 21
who were not quite so white, and who were
of course for "Grunt and Moretax."
The brave soldier, accomplished statesman
and brilliant orator. Gen. Frank P. Blair,
the next Vice President of the United States,
passed through our city, a few days since, on
his way east. A large delegation of Demo
crats met him at the depot and gave him a
hearty welcome.
A tremendous outpouring of the Radicals
occurred at Coleman's Mills one evening last
week. The outpouring consisted of the mil
ler, his wife and two children, and our Tal
ented fellow citizen, ex Sheriff. ex-Justice,
and almost an ex-Mayor, of mackeral noto
riety, and a young and verdant sprig of the
law who does not practice before his Honor
the Mayor unless he goes with his client to
the lower berth, addressed tho stupendous
gathering.
An "American citizen of African 'scent"
delivered a lecture, written by a white man,
in the M. E. Church on Friday evening last.
A filthy 8 by 10 rag, containing the scin
tillations of the united brains of the Black
and Tanners'jclub, is being published during
the campaign in this city. - it will likely do
as the big Radical ex-Assemblyman from Ty
rone did in the Hollidaysburg Court House
leave its mark. A word to the wise, etc.
Some five or six hundred Democrats went
to Tyrone to attend a mass meeting on Sat
urday night.
Another Ladies' Fair will soon open out
in this place, when a good opportunity will
be afforded MacShane and the other Mac,
and all the rest of man and woman kind, to
"pitch in." Yours, &c, T. I. M.
Loretto, Oct. 5th, 1868.
Dear Freeman The people all were noti
fied by flaming posters, Itad. newspapers and
energetic canvassers that they would be treat
ed to a mass meeting and pole-raising in our
village, on Thursday last. The day came,
and everything about our little village wore
its usual quiet aspect until about 2 o'clock
p. m., when two little boys came running Up
street and announced that the pole was
coming. Looking down the street, we saw
a team of four superannuated horses slowly
wending their way up the mam street. It
was brought to a halt opposite the residence
of Peter Christy, Esq., and there relieved of
its burthen by the driver, a toy, and a red
whiskered "tanner" from the country A
self cod stitu ted committee, consisting of a
diminutive sprig of the law from the State
of Wisconsin, who happened to be spending
a few days in town, was oh the ground to
receive
The Pole,
which was of pine wood, and tiporj which
the work of decomposition had plainly made
its marks. Like the party of which it was
the emblem, it was rotten to Vie core. Mr.
Christy and others who lived within eighty
feet of the spot, having examined it, object
ed to its being put up there, and the tanners1
team was brought back, and hauled the rot
ten thing to the upper end of town under
the advice, we suppose, of the Wisconsin
lawyer. Having it now out of reach of
bouses, preparations were made to elevate
it. About this time the meeting arrived,
per special train, from Ebensburg. The
ropes were then attached, and the Tanners
and Barkers gave a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull all together, whea crack, snap,
went the old pine into innumerable frag
ments. Here was a dilemma, and take which
horn they would it must end In disgrace.
To raise less of a pole than the Democrats
had raised down street was hard to bear, add
to go away without putting up some kind of
a one wasn't at all bearable. So they con
cluded to raise the stump and they did.
Now comes the.
Mass Meeting,
which, after liquoring at Jonny B.'s, organ
ized by making George Litzinger President
and our ex-Legislator Secretary.
Iteade Speaketh.
Geo. Munchausen Reade, Esq., Attorney-at-Law,
now mounted the stand, and after
placing his hands on his knees and then ele
vating thern above bis head, and repeating
that operation seteral times, he said that
"The poor man paid no taxes that unless
the bonds were paid in gold it would 'come
to pass' that some fellotv, or woman, would
go to market some morning with a bag full
of greenbacks, and return with a potato in
each end" of the' bag, I suppose he meant.
George then took his seat amidst the most
distressing silence.
Bdtkef bit the Stand.
The "Yankee glutton" then appeared
and made shucks of the whole Democratic
party. He said that "We Republicans JU
the rebellion," and that the Democrats
had'nt Jit much that the poor man paid
no tax on his farm, or on his "keows," and
that if he didn't want such luxuries as tea.
coffee and sugar, he could do without them,
and if they didn't want liquor they could do
without it, as be did. (I suppose be belongs
to the temperance society.) He said there
wasn't such another country as this on the
"broad face of Heaven" and that every body
should vote the Radical ticket and that as
it was near train time, and as the meeting
bad a "ways" to go, he would have to quit.
The meeting then started for Kay lor station
to meet the train which brought it from
Ebensburg. The little squirt of a lawyer
from Wisconsin followed it out of town, and
told it that the borough authorities of Lo
retto had passed an ordinance that no radi
cal pole should be raised in Loretto which
was a LIE. So ended the grand mass meet
ing and pole-raising in Loretto.
Tweesers.
Most Bitteks of the present day that are
loudly puffed through the Dewspapera as having
great tonic and curative properties are tile com
pounds and base impositions, containing co me
dicinal virtues whatever, and are really very
poor whisky beverages ; and, instead of acting
as a stimulant and tonic, have a tendency to
weaken the stomach by entirely destroying the
coating. The public should tr erefore be very
cautious.and purchase none but Roback'a Stom
ach Bitters, which hare stood the test as a rem
edial agent for many years, and are really, as
their name indicates, a stomach bitters, and not
a beverage. They combine the properties of
the best tonic and stimulant a gentle laxative
an efficient anti-bilious agent and the best stom
achic known to the world, and, when taken in
conjunction with Roback'a Blood Pills, are the
safest and surest preventive against all bilious
derangements, thoroughly regulating the whole
system and giving tone to the digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an invigor
ating tonic for mothers while nursing, increas
ing the flow of milk, and for convalescents, to
restore the prostration which always foil iws
long cot tinued sickness, they are unsurpassed.
No household should consider themselves safe
from the ordinary maladies without these in
valuable remedies They can be obtained of
any druggist. Lemmon It Murray, Agents.
Home Again. Mr. C. T. Roberts, who
visited Philadelphia last week to witness the
great gathering there, has returned home
and brought with him a superb and brilliant
stock of jewelry and Innumerable other arti
cles in his line. Cham, was pleased with
his trip, and we are sure that all will be
pleased with the result of it who wish to
purchase jewelry, stationery, notions, or any
other of the many articles which he sells so
cheap.
Drawing to a Close. The political
canvass Is almost ended, and it will soon be
time fur people to turn their attention to the
purchase of their winter outfits in the clo

to remember that no dealer keeps a better

that is required to produce sound aud healtbCsl

a few doses of Roback's Blood Pills will, in
most cases, effect a cure by removing the cause.

Construct (so to speak) the whole system as
Robaek's Blood Purifier, Blood Pills and Stom

LEUCORRHOEA,

by the use of Roback's Stomach Bitters. Do

BAD TASTE
In the riioiith in the morning is one of the symp
toms of a bilious condition or disordered state
of the lirer, and should not, for a single day,
be neglected, as it is but the premonitory symp
tom of a train of evils and the very feeds of
disease. Procure at o..ce Roback's Blood Pil s,
administer them according to the directions ac
compenying each box, and the difficulty and
danger of disease will at ouce be removed.
NOT A BEVERAGE.
Unlike most of the bitters of the present day.
Dr. Roback's are not intended as a pleasant

medicinal, containing Only sufficient pure hour
