Union man to give it a cordial sup
port. The ticket is as follows :

There are men upon this ticket who
were not our first choice—neither
were they the first choice of a majori
ty of the Union voters of this county,
but they haVo been nominated by rep
j ieeer k tativeis of the Union party of the
Districts, and we must choose between
them and the candidates nominated
by the • whitellag party----by the par
''ty- opposed to giving Bur soldiers the
rights of freemen—by . , the party or
ganized to give aid and comfort to the
rebels—by the party now openly ask
' `ing for a cessation of hostilities—by
the party willing to disgrace , our
country and our brave soldiers by a
Surrender to an almost discomfited
:enemy. Wo cannot serve two mas
ters, we must serve the party fighting
the enemies of our flag, or we must
serve the party leagued with thb one
mice of our country. We are with
Our soldiers, so long as they are wil
lina to do their duty in the field in
front of the enemy we will try to do
ours by fighting their enemy in' the
rear. A single Vote given for the tick
;et nominated by the so-called Demo
cratic party is a vote against the Uni
on party of the country and will be
counted as an endorsement of the
treason of the leaders now organized
'to defeat Linacln and Johnston.
No. shall give the ticket above, our
best support, and nothing less should
be expected from every Union man in
the county. •

The White Flag Party.
Many Democrats who honestly be-
Hove Gon. McClelland to be opposed
to the peace policy of the leaders of
their party will vote for him unless
they can be satisfied that should ho be
elected be will be under their in
fluence and be controlled to suit the
demands of the "Democrats" South
who demand the independence of their
Confederacy. It is only necessary foil
honest Democrats to reflect a moment
to be convinced that the same leaders
who have controlled their party for
several years past will continuo to
control it should McClelland oe elec
ted. They were the head and front
of the organization in 1860 and suc
ceeded in disorganizing the party by
throwing their support to traitor
Breckinridge, and over since then they
have continued to lead the party, and
at their last Convention at Chicago
by a unanimous vote of five hundred
delegates they declared in favor of an
immediate cessation of hostilities—
which moans an immediate surrender
to the rebels. To suppose that the
men who controlled the Chicago Con
vention will not control McClelland in
shaping his policy should be elected,
is simply rediculous. The leaders of
a National Convention ever have con
trolled the nominees, and no nominees
have ever dared to set aside the or
ganization nominating them, and the
adhesive power of the so-called DeMo
cratic organization is in the keeping
of the leaders who are in sympathy
with the rebels. We care not bow
much the peace men publicly growl at
the war face of McClellan's lotter of
acceptance. They will take good
care to keep their support from going
to Lincoln, and at the proper time
when they are fully convinced that
the patriotic and loyal Democratic
masses are sufficiently blindfolded by
the deceptive war cry of McClellan,
they, the peace leaders, the traitors to
true Democracy and their country,
will rally to the support of McClellan,
and if successful, will mould him to
suit their will. The platform of the
Convention is the soul of the organi
zation that nominated McClellan and
he cannot, dare not, do otherwise
than live up to it should he be elect
ed, If he should pursue any other
course, the rebels North ar.d South
would be equally as much dissatisfied
with his administration as they are
with L l ncoln's. We ask loyal Demo
crats not to be deceived by the two
faced candidate. Ile cannot stand up
on his own and the Convention's
platform. One or the other must
break down should he be elected—
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the platform put up by five hundred
delegates, the most influential men it
the organizatio,n_throur , hout tL
, States, would procall ngidru. 'Mt - of 1-71i5/

purpose of deceiving loyal voters into
his support.
The Senatorial Nomination,
The nomination of Louis W. Hall,
of Blair county, and Kirk Haines, of
Perry county, by the conferees of the
national Union party, is well received
by the press and the people. The
size of the district, comprising six
counties, all of which, save one, had its
own favorite candidate, particularly in
its relations to other districts, render.
ed it more than usually difficult to dis
criminate in the selection of candi
dates so as to suit the views and wish
es of every locality. But two of the
candidates could be selected; while
the claims of the others; and of their
counties, had necessarily to be post
poned. The conferees doubtless acted
upon their best judgment; and all
parts of the district acquiesce. Their
work is everywhere enders'ed, and
will be emphatically and triumphant
ly sustained by the people on the sec
ond Tuesday of October.
The candidates are able, true, tried,
:.nd loyal. That is all loyal voWiti
wish to know. They have both--the.
advantage of experience in legisla
tion, and the recommendation of be- .
ing popular at home.' Mr. Haines,
though not so well known here, is
very highly spoken of by all who
know him, and has represented his
own county in the Legislature. Mr.
Hall, though a young man and self
made, has served one term in tho Sen
ate of Pennsylvania, during which he
was elected ,Speaker,—the •youngest
man, we believe, who ever presided
over that body. The dignity and
marked ability with which he dis
charged the duties of that exalted posi
tion, gave him a name and fame not
limited to his district; while his indus
try, fidelity, and business talents, in
representing the interests of his imme
diate constituents, made him many
friends at home outside of his party.
Every loyal voter can deposite his bal
lot for both in the full assurance that
the district in all its interests, will be
ably and faithfully represented.
"No man is worthy of freedom who
has not the courage to resist any at

franchise."—Sunday (Phila.) Mercury.
Then what should be said of the or
ganization you defend, guilty some
weeks ago of making the attempt to
deprive the white soldiers of the right
to vote. The soldiers will have the
courage to resist your party at the
next election.

How the Soldiers will Vote.
The unpatriotic individuals who re-
cently assembled at Chicago, aro ma
king extensive caleulationS upon the
soldiers' votes for LITTLE MAC. We
have some indications which must be
very flattering to thorn. We give
them.
A vote was taken in the U. S. A.
General Hospital, Pittsburgh, with the
ollowing result:
Lincoln 677
McClellan 100

On the Baltimore train going west,
he following indication was given :

At the General Hospital, George

following vote was given :

MoClellnu 54
At Armory Square Hospital, Wash
ngton, D. C. the .vote was as follows :

So it goes. And so it will continue
to go until the November election,
"only a little metro so" as true Union
soldiers get their oyes open to see tho
company Little Mac has got into.
Tin last Monitor has nearly a col
umn of ribald vilification of Mr. Hall.
They complain of his popularity at
home, and accuse their own friends in
Blair county with selling themselves and
Wallace to keep hint in the Senate! In
the same spirit ono of the Monitor
clique, shortly before the meeting of
their Blair convention, threatened
here that they were going to pay Dr.
Gemmill, accusing him with having
voted for Mr. Hall. If these patriots
have the guardianship of their parti
sans in Blair county as well as here,
it will perhaps keep them busy enough
to attend to their own business. We
can assure those who control that
delectable sheet that Capt. Blair who
carries with him what is sufficient to
excite the enmity of all such traitors,
and who bad he been nominated.
would be a target for their vilest bil
lingsgate, does not want their sympa
thy or their praise. And as wo have
better use for our space, we can well
afford to let them fill their filthy col
umns with libels upon any or all of
our candidates, from this time to the
election, as it will only serve to make
all loyal men more zealous, determin
ed, and united in their support.

This syMpathy coines with a -very
bad grace from the men who have vo
ted against supplies for the army as
Mr. Pendleton did—against their
right of suffrage while in the service
of the country—and who have rejoic
ed when they have been defeated in
battle—and exhibited signs of sadness
when our armies have been victori
ous. Lock at the recent vote on the
amendments to the constitution, and
you find the "democratic" counties
giving majorities against the soldiers,
while the Union counties gavo large
majorities in favor of the amendments,
yet such is the deceitful course of
these pretended friends of the soldier,
that they would endeavor to give the
impression,.that fidelity to their wel

the gallant soldiers in the Pennsylva

have been, and who still are their real
not merely their pretended friends.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,

Monitor of this place, opposed the
amendment to the Constitution giving
the bravo soldiers the right to vote.
Such conduct is nothing leSs than an
effort to put the white soldier on an
equality with the negro. What sol

The Chicago Nominations in Mary

The following i 3 an extract of a let
ter from a 'peace Democrat" dated
Baltimore, Sept. 7, written to the
West Chester Jefferson an, a violent
"peace" paper in this State :
"The nomination was made, and
Geo. B. McClellan was the nominee.
The announcement foil like a pall up
on the people of Maryland, and the
beacon's
last expiring flame died with
it. This may seem an extravagant
assertion ; but it is nevertheless true,
so far as your correspondent can as
certain. There is one journal that
has hoisted their names. There has
not been, nor will there be a meeting
held to ratify his selection, nor is there
a disposition manifest to organize for
the coming contest. The apathy man
ifest is sahoning in the extreme, and
it bodes no good to the cause of De
mocracy hero."

Hall and Haines.
Front the C'hambersburg Repository.
Hon. Louis W. Hall, of Blair, and
Hon. Kirk Haines, of Perry, were on
the 9th inst., nominated as the Union
Candidates for Senators in the 21st dis
trict, composed of the counties of Per
ry, Juniata, Mifflin, Centre, Hunting
don and Blair. Mr. Hall is ono of tho
most promising young mon in the
State, and the Union party will rejoice
that he is about to enter the Senate
again. He was chosen in a decidedly
Democratic district in 1859, and ser
ved with great credit both as Senator
and presiding offlOor. In 1802 ho was
again a candidate, but although carry
ing his own county by nearly 1800,
was defeated by Clearfield and Cam.
bria. He will at once take the high
est rank in the Senate when he re
turns to it in January next. Mr.
Haines is a most meritorious gentle
man, an experienced legislator, and a
most upright and faithful man. Ho
originally acted with the Democratic
party until the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, when he ran as an inde
pendent candidate for the legislature
and was triumphantly elected. Ho
was again a candidate in 1855, and
was re-elected over Wm. S. Mitchell,
now Democratic candidate in this dis
trict, by 200 majority. He will bring
to the Senate industry, experience and
fidelity, and will do credit to himself
and the district. Union men •of the
21st district ! there should be no sort
of doubt of the success of your ticket
by 1000 majority. Your verdict will
determine whether the next Senate
shall be for the Government or against
it.
From the Lewistown Gazette.
For Senators, the conferees nomina
ted Kirk Haines, of Perry, and Lewis
W. Hall, of Blair. It was of course a
work of considerable delicacy to select
two candidates from six counties, but
having done so to the best of their
ability, we cheerfully accord them that
support which every Union man in the
district ought to give them. Captain
B. X. Blair of Huntingdon, Edmund
Blanchard of Bellefonte, and D. W.
Woods of Lewistown, were presented
to the convention by their different
counties. The first named failed only
we think from the fact that it would
have given Huntingdon two out of four
candidates for Senate and Assembly,
and left three oat of the six counties
composing the districts without any
members at all—whereas by the course
adopted the least possible number are
in that situation, namely, two, and al
though our own is among the number
we shall not compliiin. Mr. Haines is
pretty well known as a 'Citizen of
Newport, Perry county; of sterling in
tegrity, well informed, and industri-
I ous habits, recommendations which
strongly commend him to the people.
Mr. Hall has had three years experi
ence in the Senate, of which body he
was speaker, and being one of that
class who has raised himself from com
parative obscurity to prominence, of
course has made enemies; but the best
evidence of his character and standing
can be formed from the fact that his
fellow•citizens of Blair county have in
variably given him a larger majority
by hundreds than any other candidate
on the ticket, and no doubt will do so
again. Stich facts speak louder than
words.
Prom t.l!e:Perry. Frcemrth. •
We understand that the Union Sen.
atonal Conference assembled at Lew
istown on the 9th instant, and nomina
ted Kirk Raines, Esq., of Perry, and
Louis W. Hall Esq., of Blair county,
as the Union candidates for State Sen
ators in this dilitriet—runninz from
the Susquehanna finer to the A lleghe
ny Mountain—comiiosed of counties
of Perry, Juniata. Mifflin, Hunting
don, Centre, and Blair.
Kirk Haines is well known in this
county, that scarcely a word, except
to announbo him as a candidate, is
necessary to entitle him to general
support as a man of honor, integrity.
and good qualifications. . He has rep
resented this county two terms in the
House of Representatives of Pennsyl
vania, and has therefore considelable
experience as a legislator.—Whenever
he has been a candidate, ho has run
considerably more than his party vote
in this county, and we know no rea
son why be will not do so again. To
the good people of this district, who
have not the pleasure of his personal
acquaintance, we cheerfully say, and
'with truth too, that we have known
Kirk Haines ever since he Was a boy,
and that we honestly believe him en
titled to the cordial . support of every
Union man in the district. 'Elect him
and tho district will haVe a good Sen
ator.
The other candidate—Louis W. Hall,
—is a younger man than Mr. Haines,
blithe has already made his mark in
the State Senate, as well as a member
as Speaker of that legislative body.
He is a lawyer by profession ; resides
in Altoona; and the Congressional
Conferees from Blair county gave him
a decided support for Member of Con
gress from his district, but the Confer
ence gave the nomination to Mr. Bar
ker,,of Cambria after Mr. Hall had
declined to be a candidate for that po
sition, thereby doing all he could do to
harmonize all the elements of the Un
ion men of that Congressional district
upon the choice of the Conference.
This act looks well on hie part, and is
but a fair specimen of the man, when
called upon to make a personal sacri
fice for the benefit of the friends of
tho Union.. We have personally but
a slight acquaintance with Mr. Hall,
but as a public man we knoW his re
cord. Ho will, of cours, receive the
whole Union vote, as well in this coun
ty as in the Sonatorial district, togeth
er with his colleague on the same tick
et—Mr. Haines.
The Rejected Plank.
Dean Richmond was in favor of hav
ing a provision in the Chicago Plat
form, that if the rebel leaders refused
to re-enter the Union on any terms,
that war shall be continued until they
are forced to submit. This proposi
tion was treated with scorn by a ma
jority of the Convention, who declar
ed with vehement emphasis that no
resolution should be admitted into the
platform which contained the slightest
vestige of a threat, and that the noble
people of the South, after vindicating
their manhood in three years of blood,
must not be insulted by their friends
at the North, by even the semblance
of coercion. So says the correspon
dent of the Baltimore Advertiser.
The Split Among the Democracy.
The .New, York Daily News is more
severe Upon 'McClellan on Monday than
it was on Saturday. A half dozen edi
torial articles are devoted to him.
flare is an extract from mye of them;
"The platform is the subject placed
at issue in a Democratic nomination,
rather than the man. To pretend the
nominee is such in his own person
even though he should repudiate every
principle he has been selected to repre
sent, is an outrage upon common sense.
To reject the platform is therefore a
practical rejection of the nomination.
If the repudiation of it all make the
candidate cease to be the standard
bearer of the party, how can be be sup-
posed to continue such after ho has
repudiated even a party ? The State
Bights doctrine that demands every
true and faithful Democrat to raise his
voice against a war for the subjugation
of sovereign States, is recognized,
practically, in the enunciation of
principles laid down by tho Chicago
Convention ; but is on the other hand,
directly repudiated in Gen. McClellan's
avowal of his determination, if elected,
to compel the sovcrignties of the
South to submit to his will by force of
arms.
"The man nominated to represent its
principles is therefore no longer the
nominee of the Chicago convention
Standing, as he does, before the coun
try, to all intents and purposes and
independent candidate, ho has therefore
no claim on the support of the Democ-
racy as such."
From another article we quote the
following :
"In repudiating the platform on
which he was nominated, the candi
date for President proposed at Chicago
has feria ed all rights offered him by
that nomination, and party fealty de
mands that the Convention reassemble
and that a candidate for the Democrat
ic party be nominated who will, when
elected, carry its principles and- its
measures into effect.
"Failing to do this, the chosen
guardians proving faithless to their
trust, the people will take the matter
in hand, and call a Convention of their
own.. As long as General 'McClellan
was the candidate of their-party, its
members were pledgekto his sup
port. He cannot repudiate - ,the prin
ciple, without at the Sauietime • repu
diating the nomination, and this ho has
done : and in supporting a war of sub
jugation, he occupies the same ground
with John C. Fremont and Abrahani
Lincoln."
Several communications are pub
lished commending the course of the
news, and there is also the following
editorial paragraph :
"Since our Saturday's issue, we have
received scores of letters from Peace
men, every one of which approves our
course, and bids us God speed. Tho
feeling evinced is one of intense ind;g*-
nation that a candidate of a great par
ty, after his confidential friends work
ing for his nomination' on a Peace
Platform,. should, after his nomination
was effected; turn round and substitute
his own crude notions of Governmental
policy as the platform of the groat par
ty which gave the .Republic all its
greatnes's and its glory when govern
ed by its principles. Such of these as
we can find room for, and which were
Written for publication, we give else-
Nhere in our pa )er of to-clay." -

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.
Tho following is an extract of a letter
from Lieut: Gen. Grant to Hon. E. B.
Washburne, dated Headquarters, City
Point, Aug. 16, 1864.:
I state to all citizens who visit me
that all wo want to insure an early
restoration of the Union is a determin
ed sentiment in the North. The rebels
have now in their ranks their last man.
The little boys and old men are guard
ing prisoners and , railroad bridges,
and forming a good part of their garri
sons for entrenched positions. -
A man lost by them cannot be re
placed. They have robbed the cradle
and the grave equally to get their
present force. Besides what they lose
in frequent skirMishes and battles they
are now losing from deserters and oth
er causes at last one regiment per
day. With this drain upon them the
end is not far distant, if we are only
true to ourselves. This might give
them reinforcements frdm Tennessee,
Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri,
while it would weaken us. With the
draft quietly enforced, they would be
come dispondont, and would make but
little resistance. I have no doubt the
enemy are very anxious to hold out
until after the Presidential election.
They have many hopes from its ef
fect's: They hope for a convention
revolution. They hope fer tho elec
tion of a peace candidate, in fact, like
Macauber, they hope for something to
turn up If our peace friends expect
peace from separation, they are much
mistaken. It would but be the begin
hog of war with thousands of Northern
men joining the South, because of our
disgrace in allowing separation with
peace on any terms. The South would
demand restoration of the slaves alread
y freed; indemnity for losses, a treaty
which would make the North a slave
hunter for the South, and pay for the
restoring of every slave escaping to the
North,

THE LAST WORDS OF DOUGLAS.-A
delegate at the Chicago Convention
had tile effrontery to offer a resolu
tion, which, implying reverence for
the late Stephen A. Douglas, was in
bonded for a "sop" for the friends of

friends throughout the Union remem
ber what many regarded as his last
words? They were as follows: "The

party, when every man who is not for
his Government 'must be regarded as
against his Government, and the only
division of the people of this country
will be into patriots and traitors."

Mexico; Hilton Heed, Hatteras, New
born, Norfolk, Fortress Monroe—we.
must evacuate all these places, bundle
up the old flag and take it with us.
The waters of a good portion of Penn
sylvania flow into Chesapeake Bay;
but if the Peace o'amorers prevail, we
must withdraw our flag from that bay,
and then argue the point with Jeff.
Davis. We must leave Arlington
Heights, commanding the city of Wash
ington, and Cov'.ngton Heights which
command Cincinnati. Everyplace we
occupy, after having expended our
best blood, and millions of tho people's
money iu fighting for such occupation,
must be ceremoniously given up in
response to the demands of Northern
Copperheads and Southern Rebels.
Wives and sisters must, at the bidding
of the Chicago Convention, curse their
husbands and brothers for ever hav
ing gone into the field to fight down
the rebellion ; and curse the "Stars and
Stripes" for lutvinginspired the hearts
of these husbands and brothers to fol
low them to victory or death. Or
phaned children must grow up in the
knowledge of the platform of the Chi
cago Convention, and learn to curse
the memory of their fathers for ever
having taken'up arms against an un
holy, a cruel, and a barba.rious rebel
lion. They must look up with respect
to the dastardly cowards who attemp
ted to rob these fathers in the field of
their right to vote—who 'vainly, We
are glad to say, sought to wrench from
them that remnant of citizenship which
the American soldier holds dear-----his
right to deposit ballots as well as but
lets. Our children and our children's
children are to look back upon the histo
ry of their ancestry with loathing and
disgust and bless theday when the first
Northern Copperhead raised. his head
to curse the Republic. The children
f the poor in New Orleans are to
grow cursing the Federal band that
fed their parents when they had been
reduced to starvation by robot rule,
The children of North Carolina are to
learn to curse the kind teachers who
left comfortable homes in the North
to impart to them and parents the
seeds of civilization. These and a
thousand other such things are what
may be looked for—what ought to be
ifthe idea of an' armistice be consid
ered either loyal or humane at the
present time. Aro the people of the
North prepared for any such a condi
tion of things ? Do they mean that
our children shall be born with curses
on their lips? Do they mean that
this republic is a failure ? Verily, they
do not. None but traitors talk about
an armistice with rebels; none but
those who are ready to curse, and who
now, in their hearts, curse the Stars
and Stripes, and prefer the stars and
bars would suggest such a proposition.
Copperhead ~traitors of the North
must live only to be execrated, and
when they die, their memory only be
perpetuated with the curses of posteri
ty. Every man who is in favor of
hauling down the old flagand run
ning up the rebel rag, lot him vote for
the Chicago ticket.--r-Pittsburg Com
