Of course the democratic county ticket is acceptable and will take, it is well NAnpenA ami * uiw ,lu ' IMl * of the people. We defy the radicals to pick a Haw iu the democratic couuty ticket—Shu gert, Wolf, Spaugler. Hall aud Year ick—"match 'cm." We think that the preseut radical state ticket instead of beiug styled the ring ticket, is entitled to bsiog dubb ed the most Jftwwly ticket they ever put up. The radicals are counting upou stealing a march upon the democrats in th : s county on account of alleged dissatisfaction in our rauks. ltemo craU staud by the ticket and let's teach them better. The radicals think they see a hole in the democratic ranks and have postponed their nominations our mouth in consequence, hoping they can creep through. If there is such a hole, let the democracy resolve to close it up aud put a bigger hole into the radical shanty in November. The radicals of this state, in their late convention, passed a resolution in favor of Harlranft for President. The excessive heat of last week, and the bad whiskey of Harmburg, had driv en some of the delegates to half mad ness. Hartranft for President! Shades of Mrs. Surratt! One of the resolutions passed by the radical state convention last week, claims great credit for that party in the adoption of the new constitution. This is refreshing news, when every body knows that the 'ring' controlled the aforesaid convention and that it was this same ring which tries! to defeat the new constitution, and very naturally, because it very materially interfered with the ring's practices and cut down its fodder. The radical county cymmittee in tends contracting for 150 kegs of la ger, to be hidden away in different parts of the county. With this cargo one portion intend to run the cam paigu to suit the guzzlers while an other will run it on the goose wine principle. If that receipt holds good against Salt river grips we will let the readers of the Reporter know in due season. The Bellefonte Republican evident ly has the itch and is as restless as an ant on a hot griddle—in its kicking and scratching propensity it combines the'qualities of the ass with those of a lousy monkey. It strikes here, hits there and scratches everywhere in order to make all the fuss possible and lead its couple readers to think it's kicking up a dust. All it needs is a little precipitate, to settle down iu itchy- New England vanity. The radicals of our ccunty make their nominations this week—the Re porter goes to press as tbeir nom inations are made, and we have ob served that they have been holding caucusses and couuscls how to defeat a portion of our excellent county tick- They have cooked something, laid some scheme, but we can foil them, and put them to rout, we only need stand by our nominees, Shugert, Wolf, Hall Ac., to do it. The radical county convention met on Tuesday, and adjourned to meet again on Tuesday Oct., Cth. They are imagining great dissatisfaction in the democratic ranks and will not make nominations now, in order to gain time to lay plans to defeat one of the democratic nominees for Assembly. There is no great dissatisfaction in our ranks, and what there is of it, we trust every good democrat will set about to heal it before the 6th of Octo ber, then we will all join hands and give these rads, who are afraid to make a nomination now, a good whal ing in November. Democrats unite at once, and foil the rads in theii plans. What Others Think. All the expressions given by demo cratic papers and leading democrats outside of our county upon the Modoc resolution passed by our late Co. Con vention, were of approval. These res olutions were distasteful to a few in our coußty, on account of calculations spoiled, foul plans frustrated, and treason nipped in the bud ; now the honest democrats of our county know the wisdom of adopting such resolu tion, and our democratic bretheren in other sections of the state rejoice that a deep laid scheme at disorgani zation has been thus early interfered with. Marshal Bazaine has arrived at Spa, and M. Rouber has gone to con sult with the Empress. Halifax, N. S., August 1C. —Two miners were killed on Saturday by falling down a shaft of a pit in tiw Albion mine. The rope broke and they/ell 900 feet. Messrs. Wallace. Orris \ Markrj The sentiment f the democracy of the senatorial, judicial and .-rs. Wallace, Orvis aud Mickey, is not 'confined to the respective districts interested, but the democracy ot ihe entire ante arc in uutson with it, and have asked the nomination of these gentlemen, a compliment seidotu paiu to any uuder similar circumstances. All summer the Reporter has pub lishel extracts from the leading dent ! ocratic journals, front other portions lof the state, askiug the democracy |of our section to place iu nomination the men named here. Is there not great significance in this? Shouid not the voice of the honest democracy of central Pennsylvania, and of the balance of the state he heeded * \\ ho is it that would thus set himself against the loud demand of the peo ple? Who presents better and worth ier names? Has auy disinterested democrat in auv of the three districts presented a name which for worth, ability, and purity at all comes up to the standard of any one of the three gentlemen named ? Has auy demo . cratic journal or leader, —save per- I naps Sam Josephs—from any other i portion of the state, pointed out one ? The Radical State Ticket- The radical state convention met at Harrisburglast week and did its work. Paxson, of Philadelphia, was nomina ted for Supreme Judge; Olmstead, of Potter, for Lieut. Governor, aud Allen, of Warreu, for Auditor Gener al. The whole thing is a ring-streak ed concern ; the number of delegates in the convention who were opposed to the ring fixing up the nominations, was about 60 out of 250 delegates, so that it will he eeeu that the radical machine of Pennsylvania is totally under the thumb of Cameron, Maun, Kentble hoett culled into Ining not by tin Sou the in whites til nil, i tit by tin Northern Radical- N t only coin moil (airlifts and justice to the South, but the best interest* >.l the whole couutrr, requite tliul there should be no befogging of the Nullntn inind in this point.

It did nt bnak, n-i in • the nature of thiug* could it break, the >o. ial necessities which connected them. -So far as we have any million ticgrouuds t>n which to form an opin ion ab. ut the matter, the reciprocal feeling ot the two ran.- at the South to caclt other at ihut lime was n friendly a- reason aud experience combiue to show that in such circum-! stances it would be likely to be. The simple fuel that during the whole pc ; rio.l of the civil war thcte was nosuch ! tlutig known a- a negro rising in the I Sou in again*: the white* e-an overwheltniug pti-umpiiott that the emancipated negroes, if they had been let to themselves, would quietly have adjusted themselves to the order! i i thiugs iu >ueli :t way a not Serious ly to iuterfere with the restoration ol prosperity aud of order through the South, l'lte true history of the rising of the so-called "colored troops" of the Union artuy ha- yet : oe written, and w heu it comes to be written there will be a curb-us revis ion of reputations in connection with that paiticular phase of what Presi dent Lincoln, with upcopciuus sarcasm, but too truly described as the prodig ious "job" of the civil war. But it is already perfectly well understood that so far as the Southern States were concerned the negroes enlisted within their border were literally "corralled" by the Union forces, precisely as ne gro troop had been eighty years be fore by the royal armies of fireat Britan iu their struggle with the te beliiou of the colonies. The percent age of blacks divorced from their nor mal connection with the c mntunily in which they lived by the accident.-1 of war was no greater iu lSt!3 than in 1T S3. But the radical leaders iu the North soon perceived that if they were to preserve their control i f the Federal Government against the perils of any change in the political sentiments ut the North they must fortify IhSMtll es in Congress with a Varangian phalanx of rotten borough members, land that to do this the shortest way should be to split Southern M'cieSy . completely in two, depress and d - | franchise the whites, who, of course, could not he relied uj .u to support i Radicalism as a persistent national policy, and regiment the negroes po litically in opposition to the whites. ' This they accordingly proceeded to Jo, I and this they did with their now infa ' mously famous "reconstruction" rotas ; urcs. From the moment when these | measures began to he carried out at the South the execution of them, and the political organization of the ne groes under them, were confided to a set of political adventurers, rapscall ions, and rascals, the like of whom uo country in our times has produced, i These people undertook this work dis tinctly for their own advantage and , for the advantage of the Radical par ty at the North. We might till this journal to-day with extracts from leading Radical newspajters of the 1 North, published between 7865 aud ■ 1*69, in which it was passionated and openly maintained that the Southern j States ought to be governed not prim* arily with an eye to restoring order and prosperity within their borders, ! i but with nu eye to "punishing" the ; Southern whites and perpetrating the domination over the whole country ol the Radical party. The Southern t i negroes, utterly ignorant of such a 1 thing as political responsibility, were 1 j diciplinod by the agents of the Kadi •; cal policy, hacked by all the tnacliin j ery of the Federal Government, into a j belief that their liberty depended on their putting and keeping the whites of the South completely out of all the offices and administration of the sev eral States of tho South. These itgenu of the Radical policy were dis scmiuated throughout the whole Southern country. Wherever there was a post-office, a military station, n office of the Freeman's Bureau, a fis cal ageut of the Federal Government, there were they at their evil Work, 1 dividing every county and every vil ! laga against itself, compacting the blacks into a body of ignorant hostil j ity against the whites, making iu I short that "black man's party " by | wfiich they nrc to rule and ruin the ! country. They succeeded in their '■ atrocious undertaking. Thieves in the State Legislatures thieves in gu ' hernatnrul chairs, thieves in the Sen -1 ale, tfiicves in the House of lieprescn j tatives, thieves oa the judicial bench, 1 attest to nil of us tho completeness of their success. Bullock, Scott, Moses, Kellogg, I'alterson, Sawyer, Durell,! need wego through with the miserable catalogue of the pestilentinl scoun drels inflicted first upon the South and then upon the whole country by this "black man's party" thus conceived, begotten, brought forth and brought up. ? Now, this "black man's party" hav ing been thus created, what possible form of op|>oEitiou to it was left at the South which, from the very nature of things, must not be u "white man's party ?" What is a party? it is the l result, is it not, of a division of the community in which it exists? And division has its laws, has it not, like any other arithmetical operation? In that famous partition of the turkey and j the crow between the Indian and the hunter, it is clear that the Indian would have preferred half a turkey with half a crow to the whole crow which he got. But as the hunter ap-h propriatcd the turkey, there was notli ing left for the Indian hut the crow. The Southern while people have to ' iive iu one country with the negroes, 1 the honestly rewaidtd labor of the ne- ' [ groes is as essential Jo their prosperity , as to the well-being of the negroes.j | But it is essential both to the whites J and to the negroes that the profits of j the capital and labor ol the whole com- t munity should not he left ut the rner , cy of u mob of legislative blockheads i t controlled bv a gang of legislative a rogues.

Among other . participants in thai campaign whom ( the correspondent saw at.d with whom he shook hands were the "old famil iar" Miack-Nasty Jim, and Bear-Far ed Charley. The tribe live iu tents, , apparently preferring the open plain to the shelter of the woods. They arc .'resigned lo their late, aud while many Jof them sjx-nk English, the others arc , endeavoring to bam the language, so as to be utile to communicate with their white neighbors.
