To the Democrats and Coneervetive Men

Democrats! COuservativa Men! Vic

grasp.
You have right, truth and Justice on
your side.
The cohorts of the Northern Disunion -
bita, the blind followers of such traitors
as Thaddeus Stevens, are In a minority
in Pennsylvania to-day.
A full poll of the Democratic vote of
the old Keystone State, with tho aid to
be derived from those true friends of the
country who have shown their' readiness
to abandon party for the sake of prinei.
pie, will elect Mester Clymer by a large
majority, and ov e rthrow the Radical rev
olutionists forarer.
Shall this glorious consummation bo
achieved;
Never had men greater incentives to
exertion than yoU have in the present
con test. •
Your opponents deelaie that the Union,
to save which , Ptnnsylvarda so freely
gave the blood of her bravest and beet,
shall not be restored.
They are ready to mutilate, annul and
destroy the Coristitutia6 framed by your
fathers, and to overturn the form of free
government bequeathed to you by tho
patriots and sages of the Revolution.
They are laboring to arouse a perma
nent war of rooms, and are ready to pre
cipitate the country into another civil
war, in order that they may maintain
their hold on the power they have so
much abused.
They unhesitatingly declare their pur
poee'of making the negro filo political
mid social equal of the white man, and,
if they stieceed in carrying the coming
elections, they will claim that the- peo
ple of the North have endorsed that odi
ous proposition.
All conservative men desire to see
the Union speedily and perfectly re
stored.
They wish tb see tho Constitution sa
credly preserved.
They desire !peace, lasting and perma
nent peace.
They are - resolved that the suprenutcy
of the white race shall be Maintained.
Such are the vital Issues In the present
all important political contest.
John W. Geary.is the candidate of the
Radicals, and he, boasts that he emlorses
ail their views as fully as ever Thaddeus
Stevens did.
•Hiester Clymer, one of the purest pat '
ots and most accomplished statesmen of
the Republic, Is the Conservative candi- I
date. i
Which of these men shall be the next
Governor of the great ' Coalition wealth
of Pennsylvania?
It is for you, the Democrats and Con
servative men of Adams county, In con- I
nection with your fellow-citizens of Penn-'
sylvania, to say.
We are perfectly pure that a full poll of i
the Democratic and Conservative vote ,
will overwhelnalhe Radicals with defeat.
This we say knowingly, and pot-for the
purpose of political effect-,
If we are beaten In the present contest
we will have no one to blame but our-
Iselves. Through our own apathy and
indolence the enemies of the country will
have triumphed over us, and we shall
live to carse"ourselves for neglect of duty
When it will be too late . to repair the in.
jpry done.

You can and will do better than that for
theater Clymer. But,.you must work as
you never did in all your lives before to
swell yotir vote. Not a single man who
will vote the Conservative ticket must be
left at borne. In this contest every citi
zen must labor with all the might that is
in him, and there is no one who cannot
help forward the great cause.
.C.ko to work, then, with the determine
tion that should characterize freemen In
such a struggle. Remember that the
best and dearestinterests of your country
are at stake, and that the result of the
present contest will tell for weal or woe
upon yourself and upon your posterity
after you.
See yOur neighbor—talk to hith—try to

THE PROXTFECT BRIGHT.
In every portion of Pennsylvania the
Democracy are thoroughly aroused. Nal
such enthusiasm ever inspired them be- 1
fore as that which now pervades our
ranks. There is not - a break in the Dem
()crane, column in any election precinct 1
in this Commonwealth. Every Demo
crat is working and doing his duty man
fully. The masses everywhere are shock
ed at the frightful blasphemies and dis
gusting dogmas of the wrorch-and-Tur
pentixe" party. They cannot and will
not endorse the degrading 'doctrine of ne
gro saffrage and negro equality. They
have been plainly told by the Radical'.
leaders that they are in favor of placing
the ballot in the hands of the negro, and
even John W. Geary has been forced to
admit that it is only a question of time.
The people want peace. They have had
1 enough bloodshed. They want Union,
, Restoration, and Constitutional Liberty,
' with all their attending blessings and
prosperity. And they know, in their
hearts, that these can only be attained by
the sueeess of the Democratic and Con
servative policy, and the total overthrow
,
of the malignant and desiructive Radi
icals. Hence, they have placed their own
shoulders to the wheel, and are laboring
with unwonted zeal and energy to secure
a lasting triumph for the good old cause.
Never were the skies brighter—never
were our prospects of victory more sure
and certain !—Age.
ALL SIGHT ALONG THE LINE.
The Democracy are jubilant in this sec
tion. The cheering reports of Clymer's
prospects tram all parts of the State, add
ed to the notable fizzle of the Disunion
ists in this city on the 22d, have given
them renewed hope and confidence. A
report is in circulation that Gov. Curtin,
upon his arrival from the western part of
the State, announced that it was "all up
with Geary !" This has added to the
general satisfaction among Deinocrat..—
ilarrisburg Patriot cf: Cnion.
Ber Let it be remembered by the white
freemen of the Commonwealth, that the
ardent supporters of Gen. Geary in Phil
adelphia, refused to extend a public re
ception to Grant and Farragut, because
they won the battles for the Union, and
now sustain the President.
Let it also be remembered that these
same "loyal" men greeted enthusiastic
ally, Fred. Douglass, Ann Dickinson and
"Gen." Geary, because they are enemies
of the Union, and worshippers of the negro.
I Gen . Rogers, of Arkansas, one of
the-"loyal Southerners" in the Geary all
wool Co' dvention, wishes It understood,
through the New York Herald, that he
"Withdraws from that mixed gathering
of shiftless, ambitious blacks and women
in breeelieii." He says that he has gone
with that body even farther than his
own yiews could Justify, and he "washes
his hand's, from this time forth, of all its
proceedings." • TOq - much wool for the
eneral.
John W. Hicks, of Dun
cansville, Pennsylvania, 4 bray soldier,
formerly a Republican, has left that par
ty and announced his intention of sup
porting Colonel Filler for the I..eg4lature
in the Bedford District. In alluding to
the fact that the Radicals had refused to
place a soldier on their ticket, Colonel
Hicks.says e
It could not be expected that any sol
dier would get a nomination in any con
vention which Radicals controlled, if
they had an old civilian political hack to
serve. It is the same in this county as in
Bedford. Soldiers have been over
slaughed always, only when common
decency and a slight observance of their
professed principles (?) demand it, in fact,
the soldier is "played out" among that
class, and no soldier need expect any pre
ferment at their hands.
sirWe learn that the chap named
Koontz, who is now inaking Radical
speeches in this county, is a discharged
Clerk from Washington. Of Course he
!don't like "my policy. '!
GEL FREMONT,
The Republican candidate for President
in 1858, and who, during the rebellion,
was the Idol of the Republicans, is a
strenuous friend of Andrew Johnson, and
endorses his policy in toto. Ile was a
delegate to the monster Soldiers' and
Sailors' Convention that assembled at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the 17th ult.=-a Con
vention composed of the very flower of
the artny and navy, and embracing in its
list of delegates nearly every man of note
belonging to either branch. Fremont;
we say, was there, to' assist to save the
Union from the clutches of the infernal
disunlonists and arrant traitors who.now
nienaeo it. Friends of Fremont!—fall
into line, and help save the Union.
REAR ADMIRAL FARRAGET
Wrote a letter to the Soldiers' and Sail
ors' Convention, at Cleveland, endorsing
its objects. He says ANDREW JOHNSON
is right and the Radicals wrong. Like
GRANT, he wants PEACE, and insists that
the Union has been restored.' He:depre
cates the insaneund treasonable plottings
of the Radicals, and calls upon his coun
trymen to put down the men who dare
to strike tea stars from the American
flag. Freemen!—can you, will you dis
regard the words of FARRAGUT? -
_
SLOCUM' ON IRE Oncurioir.
Read what the brave Slocum; of the
Twentieth Corps—the General who com
manded Geary—has to say of the faction
which is now using Geary as a means
for accomplishing their own selfish pur
poses:
"There exists among us a political par
ty which for the purpose of retaining
power, has prevented the restoration of
the Union, which was to he the sole object
of the war, a party which would hold a
portion of the States in subjection, teneh
mg the rising generation in both sections

seeking to make them forget the bitter
past, and become, as they must become,
if - our Union is ever to be of value, one

ty, until Congress assembled,.
indignant
ly denied any intention of postponing the
restoration of the Union, and appealed to
the people for support on the ground of
being the only - faithful and reliable
friends of the President and his policy.
This mask has now been dropped, and
the issue before the people is clear nod
unmistakable. Let those who fought for
a restoration of the Union now come for
ward and vote for it, and our victory is
twsu red."
Will the "Boys in Blue" follow the
brave soldier, Gen. Slocum, or the "hero
of Sniekermille?"
From the Bedford Gazette.
A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.!
Wh• Bide? who Bids?
Francis Jordan, EN., Chairman of the
Radical State Committee, has Itritten a
letter to C. W. A•dieorn, Esq., stating
that Congress has passed no law discrim
inating against white soldiers and in fa
vor of the Blacks! But, mark you, he
does not deny that Congress did pass a
bill giving $3OO bounty to the negroes.
Not a bit of it' , He knows that to be a
fact susceptible . of proof by the official
records of Congress. But we will not al
low Mr. Jordan to dumb-fungle even the
most ignorant and credulous. We now
offer to bet $lOO with any Radicat who will
dare to take it up, that Congress did pass
a bid giving the ,4egro soldiers $3OO bounty!
If no other argimPnt but this will get
through sonic people's skulls, we are will
ing and ready to give them just as much
of it as they want. Who bids?
111 K INCIDENT IN WARY'S HISTORY
In the year 1861, John W. Cleary, then•
only apaper Colonel—like his friend For
ney—purchased from an honest farmer,
who then occupied, and still occupies, a
stall in the Eastern Market in this city,
POTATOES, CABBAGE, and other vegeta
bles, to the amount of thirty fire dollars
and thirty-three cents, for which he per
sistently refuses to pay, notwithstanding
the nforcsaid farmer has written to him
on several occasions, requesting him to
do so. We have this bit of information
from the farmer himself; and if uny of
his friends are anxious to see the victim
of the Hero of Snickersville, he can be
found at his stalls in the Eastern Market
any day in the week.—PhiladclphiaMer

The heavy 'rain of the previous, day,
and which then threatened to continue
several days, preventedludge Hepburn

The boys in blue fully comprehend the
extra bounty business. A one armed vet
eran pithily summed it up the other day
at a meeting In Phibdelphia, si.:4 "one
hundred dollars for the white man, throe
hundred dollars for the nigger, and tw•o
thousand dollars for the members of Con
gress.” The soldier evidently appreci
ates Radical generosity at its exact value.

trying to pull him down. lam a Repub

who had a fat (draft) office at home when
we were risking our rives on the battle
field. You havn't said a harmful word
Crist, and I respect you for It as a gen

pretends such friendship for soldiers,
shows that he is not a friend of any one,
no matter how well he fought, or how he
Was crippled, unless he agrees with him
in his polities. This is not right, and
I'll show Mellhenny that at least one
Republican soldier won't follow him in
his meanness. Billy Holtzworth Imes
more pluck in his little linger than Midi
henny has lit his whole body, and is more
of a gentleman to boot. Sul.puar..

DESPERATION
The Radicals inuso.lie In a desperate
mood,. We were-told, the other day, that
a busy niggcrite oil the north side of the
eounty t tried to persuade a Denmerat to
vote for Cashman, because, he asserted,
"the copperheads 'and Catholics had best
en a soldier at the Pi:lselin:lh meeting"—
a more outrageous falsehood than which
was never Invented. There is not the
least Shadow of truth ip it. Demorrats
and Conservativis, will you allosv your
honest and upright candidate filSheri If,
Philip Hann, to lose votes in this con
temptible way? TO work, now and at
once, everywhere, and not only expose
these Radical lies, hut hold up their au
thors to the odium which they deserve.
We - Philip Houck was In the Legisla
ture last winter. Of what service was he
to the people of Adams county ? None
at all. We might as well have bad no•
body there. Will our Bonier Sufferers
vote for him again, and thus hive their
claims for damages further ignored?
They should all think of this before de
positing their ballots.
