Xe — The new Governor of Califor
nia is a war Democrat, opposed to the
Congressional plan of reconstruction.
_Some of the Republican papers
fear that Ohio will go against their
party on the 2d Tuesday of October.
In that State the negro suffrage ques
tion is - fairly in the contest, and is be
ing advdeat..ed by the - loaders of the
party.
DEs_The Philadelphia Evening Tele
graph, Republican, don't see success
very promising. It says:—'The sue
cess•of the Republican party in the ap•
proacbing election is not by any means
assured." Who will be to blame if the
RepUblican party should be defeated ?
Republican editors who bare been do
ing the bidding of Stevens,
Sumner & Co., and all the corrupt mon
of their party. The' honest masses tiro
in serving such men.
' THAT'S WHAT'S THE TROUBLE.—The
New-York Independent, a leading Re
publican paper, says:
"Such men as Wendell Phillips,
Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens,
and General Butler, are the coulter of
the plough; they break ground just
a little ahead of the general furrow.
Find where these men stand to-day, and
you have found where the rest of the par
ty will stand to-morrow."
It is because the people begin to be
lieve that such is the situation of the
Republican party that a reaction is
taking place. A few years ago and
the fanatical 'notions of Wendell Phil
lips & Co., were as unpopular as the
-treason of Jeff. Davis is to-day, but
now negro political equality is advoca
ted in every State by most of the Re
publican papers and not denounced by
any. Is it any wonder then that a
largo" number of Republicans are
breaking ranks-4acking out from the
support of measures they aro opposed
IlerWe are passing through an event- I
fat period, politically considered. w
can only liken it to the campaign suc
ceeding the outbreak of the rebellion.
Tluire was then but two sides, and men
voted one way or the other. A Union
party was formed composed of Repub
licans and Democrats, amongst whom
no partyism existed. Tho first elec
tions proved successful to the interests
of'this party', and each succeeding elec
tion the majorities increased. Tho
war ceased, and with it the name of
"Union" was dropped and "Republi
can" again raised, and a now platform
was adopted and new objects sought
d'or. The course of this party has been
closely watched; of it was expected the
restoration of the Union, upon the prin
ciples on which the war for that object
'was fought. This restoration has not
been accomplished; but we are being
plunged in to greater difficulties through
the .headstrong perseverance of bold
and rabid mess. The thiuking people
see this, and hence comes the reaction.
'No
. appeale,' no entreaties, no opposi
tion can prevent its further progress.
It is the strong under-current of the
Popular will, which will move the fas
teras it widens. Its success will be
equivalent to the same popular fooling
that existed during the war, and by it
wo hope to see a change for the better
at no 'distant day. No party can lay
claim to the victory that may follow.
To the.people, and to the people alone
belongs the victory; and no party can
succeed which does in spite of their
will. '
"DESSIOCRATIO VICTORIES." -till elec
tions that have gone against the Re
publican party this fall have been claim
ed as "Democratic Victories," and the
same claims will be made in the elec.
tiOns yet to come off whore the Repub.
'leans may be defeated. All such claims
aro and will be false. The Democratic
organization to-day is no stronger than
it was during the war or since its close
—but as a choice of evils thousands of
conservative independent voters vote
for Democratic candidates and give
them success in hopes of bettering the
financial as well as the political condi
tion'ol the country. The "Democratic
Victories" 'aro in truth conservative
victories, made such, not by the vote
of the Democratic organization, but by
the independent voters who since the
war commenced, voted with what was
a Union party. This independent vote
was the back-bone of the war party,
and if properly aroused, will yet save
the country from ruin. Credit should
be given where credit is due—to the
honest independent voters of the coun
try—to, voters ever ready to vote for
men and measures, they may believe
will boat advance the best interests of
our whole country. Give us a Union in
reality, peace, prosperity and happi
ness, and the independent vote does
not care what party fills the offices.
The country is tired of mere political
legislation, such as has been "the order
of the day" for almost every day dur
ing the ses:3ionb of Congress and State
Logislatures since the rebellion has
been crushed by the strong arm of the
Union army.

ra„Among the good results of our
late conflict—one which is hardly sec
ond in importance to the abolition of
slavery—was the almost total annihi
lation of the State Bank system, md
the substitution .of. a National, for the
dubious currency forMerly:in existence.
Such a result would net have been ef
fected in a'tirrie of peace. The' Na
tional Bank system was a war meas•
are and designed to enlist the banking
capital of the country, in aid of the
finances of the Government, and the
profits wore so great that the State
Banks almost universally relinquished
their charters and hastened to embrace
the opportunity of organizing under
the National system. Other capital
ists also finding they could employ
their means profitably, obtained char.
tors. Thus a demand was created for
Government securities and the Treas
ury was placed in funds to put down
the rebellion. The operation of the now
system was profitable to the capitalist,
beneficial to the Government, and aid
ed much in ridding us of a currency,
under which constant losses were being
sustained , byitbe community through
failures, discount, &e., &c. The Nation•
al Treasury however now_ needs all her
resources in order to maintain the
credit of tlio — Nation, and liquidate her
immense debt; taxpayers are clamor
ous for a reduction of their burdens,
and every possible means will have
to be resorted to in order to satisfy
them. That the currency furnished
us by the National Banks is not any
better than greenbacks, nor in fact
quite as good, is manifest, and conse
quently the latter may as well be sub
stituted, and thus relieve the govern
ment from the payment of interest in
gold upon some three hundred millions
of dollars. Of this none can complain
except the Banks, who will be depriv
ed of this great source of profit, but
they have been amply compensated for
the aid they rondored during the war,
and ought not now to exhibit any op
position to Congross adopting such
measures as will tend toward relief of
the business of the' country from pros
cut heavy taxation.
Trying to Kill Him Off.
There aro several prominent gentle
men in the Republican ranks anxious
to bo the Presidential candidate of the
party next fall, and fearing that Gen.
Grant may be in their way, have al
ready gone to work to kill him off. Thu
following circular has been issued by a
committee in the interest of Speaker
Colfax, of Indiana, located at Washing•
ton. The other candidates no doubt
endorse all but the 16th reason :
SIXTEEN REASONS IWI/Y OUR REPUBLI
CAN PARTY SHOULD NOT RUN GEN
GRANT FOR PRESIDENT IN 1368.
1. He has all he deserved at the hands
of the American people.
2. Ho could not deliver an Inaugural
Address.
3. Because no Democrat has succeeded
for the past quarter of a century as
President of the United 'States.
4. Because at this peculiar period in
' the history of our great country
we need an ABLE AND EXPER
IENCED STATESMAN at the
"White House."
5. Because One Hundred Thousand
Graves and Pour _Million of Freed.
men DEMAND A REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENT AND VICE PRES
IDENT.
6. He is now and always has been a
Democrat, and has never indorsed
the Republican Party.
7. Because he has proved a failure in
every capacity outside of the mili'
tary.
8. Ho claims to have no knowledge
of Politics or National affairs.
9. Because all the Democratic and Reb
el papers indorse him.
10. He has followed our drunken Dem
ocratic Johnson in all his Rebellious
rows against Congress and our party
11. Because he has insulted the Repub•
lican Party by indorsing the remo•
val of the Secretary of War and
accepting the position himself.
12. We have one hundred better men
for President.
13. Because all parties claim him as
belonging to their party.
14. We have the power to elect a
Statesman, if wo wish to.
15. Because the Democrats and Rebels
have no other available candidate.
16. Because Illinois gave us INLNIOR
TAL LINCOLN, and Indiana of
fers OUR MOST AVAILABLE
CANDIDATE.

This circular is a fair sample of the
meat-ax style of opposition made by
the political_ candidates of the present
day towards each other. No man's
good name is safe with them. To se
cure positiciriand power that their own
selfish ends may be +accomplished,
they aro e'er ready to sacrifice their
country's honor. General Grant, so
long as he remains true to the people,
the honor and best interests of his
country, and refuses to yield to the de
mands of the politicians, will continuo
to be the favorite candidate of the
loyal masses of all parties for the next
Presidency.
klf the Republican party should
be defeated in this State, or in most of
the Senatorial and Legislative districts,
it will bo nothing more than the party
deserves. Almost in every instance
where the party had the power, the
most damnable political corruption has
been winked at, and attempts made to
keep the people ignorant of the rascal
ides practiced. We do not say that
Democrats would be any more honest
—but a great many Republicans think
a change would not make the "situa
tion" worse—might make it bettor.
One thing is certain, a reform must
soon take place, or the people will be
ruined by an increase of taxes. The
extravagance and corruption in the
last Legislature will not soon be for
gotten,
Parties in the South.
We clip the following article from
the Albany
of
News, to show
the state of political
_affairs in that
State :
"We have not the. least idea, that if
the Radicals could have foreseen that
which-As becoming more apparent
every day—a tendency, upon the part
of the colored people to ignore white
men as counsellors and leaders—even
if they are of the most Radical type
politically—they would ever have
committed themselves to such a scheme
as negro suffrage. That there is a
strong feeling of caste—of exclusive
ness—increasing among the negroes,
no ono dare deny. A few months ago,
the most arrogant of the race would
pay duo deference to superior intelli
gence, and grant that the whites had
greater experience; and therefore
should be elevated
. as leaders. This
was very complimentary and soothing
to a few adventurers who had come
among us for spoils, and a few "small
' fry politicians," who under the old meg
' line, never possessed intelligence and
ability enough to gain position among
their neighbors, but have now espous
ed the radical cause, hoping that the
credulity of the negro would give them
the desire of their hearts. But, alas!
fur the aspirations of these vaporing
patriots, the negroes have made a dis
covery, and are disposed to use it.
They have discovered, that by blind
and fanatical legislation, they have be
come the controlling political power,
and they are determined to exert that
power for the special interest of their
own particular class. An exhibition
of this assurance was made at Atlanta
when the negroes demanded an equal
division of policemen of the City Coun
cil. If the council dares to refuse they
will in the future elect councils of their
own caste. They feel that political
and social equality are facts already
accomplished, and that no reaction of
public sentiment can deprive thorn of
them. Hence they feel heSitancy in
throwing aside the counsels of the de
graded and designing demagogues,
through whose influence they have
been elevated. A month or two ago,
the colored men of this community',
gave the first symptoms of this revolt.
They determined in their caucus, so
we are creditably informed, to vote for
no man unless he was Southern born.
This was the death knoll to the hopes
of "squatters." However, it has had
the influence to bring to the surface a
few "Southern barn" who were willing
to make the sacrifice, for the profits of
the office. But alas; a change has
come, and Sambo thinks he is capable
of running the machine, and will at
tend to such matters himself. Hence
in this community we may look for an
African party—so exclusively African
that none can hope for the emoluments
and honors of office, unless they bear
plainly in their complexion the eviden
ces of dark blood. A black heart alone
can be no longer palmed off upon them,
—their needs must be a black face.
This is no idle speculation—it is truth.
Lot him who can, prove it false. Nor
is it a matter of surprise, that the ne
groes thus favored above the whites
who formerly held them, and whom
they have by all the ingenuity and en
ergy of radicalism, been taught to hate
and mistrust, should desire to display
their newly acquired ascendancy."
Antietam Cemetery Dedication.
KEEDYBVILLE, September 17,1867.
The dedication of Antietam National
Cemetery took place to-day. The pro
gramme carried out was as follows :
Military and Masonic bodies escorted
the President and party to the Ceme
tery, where, in the presence of an im
mense throng, the exercises opened by
prayer.
Governor Swann, on assuming the
Presidential chair, tendered a welcome
to President Johnson and the Geyer.
note of other States, who came to par
ticipate in the ceremonies. After al
luding to the part taken by Maryland
in establishing the cemetery, he said:
"We aro here in calm sunshine to min
gle our tears with the survivors for
those who sacrificed life for their coun
try upon this field." He invoked the
Almighty to speedily restore harmony
to the whole country.
A hymn was then sung by the as
semblage.
The corner stone of then Monument
was then laid by the Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge of Masons of Mary
land.
The oration was than delivered by
Ex• Gov. Bradford: After referring to
the distinguished persons present, ho
stated that in response to a vote of
thanks of Maryland to the army for
protecting the State from rebels, the'
Commander of that army eommitted
the romaine of those who fell to the
care of tho State. The details of the
action by Maryland in the matter
wore given by the orator. The num
ber engaged on the field of Antietam
on the Union side was 87,640, while
the rebel force was estimated at 97,000.
Tho previous campaigns of the army
wore referred to and the anxiety of
the public mind depicted. The discs•
tors to the army under Pope, its shat
tered condition, its reorganization by
Gen. McClellan, and victory won over
the confident hosts of the rebellion by
that reorganized army, were dwelt on
at groat length, with many correlative
facts and circumstances. Ho conclu
ded by invoking adherence to the Con
stitution and said : "Come the peril to
it whence it may, from State Rights or
Consolidation, let me,on the anniversa

preserve, protect and defend it."
The poem was next delivered.
Remarks followed from President
Johnson and others, after which' the
services closed with a benediction, and
the President and party were escorted
to the station.
Salutes were fired at sun rise, during
the procession, and at the close. Every
thing passed off well.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES.-It may
not be generally known that the
ground on which the city of Nashville
now stands was once the site of an an
cient and populous town, yet such is
supposed to be the fact. Some of the
most interesting antiquities of our
State aro found along the lower course
of Stone river, but a few miles from
Nashville. A wide area- of country
there is covered thickly with thous
ands of graves of now forgotten peo
ple.
But a few days ago several gentle
men made some researches in this re
gion, and found their labors richly re
warded by some striking discoveries.
At a place known as Scholl's Spring
they found a mound of considerable
height, and perhaps forty feet in di
ameter, which proved upon examina
tion to bo nothing less than a vast
mausoleum of the dead. Tho graves
were found to be made of flat rocks,
symmetrically joined together, and
three tiers deep from the base of the
mound to its apex. Bones were found
in a remarkable state of presorvation,
together with pottery and shells. Very
large ornaments have been dug out in
this locality, made from shells found
only in the Gulf of Mexico..
A gentleman of acknowledged skill
and authority in antiquarian matters,
who conducted the reseachers made a
few days ago, estimated that the re
mains which they unearthed could
not have a less age than six or seven
hundrcthyears. What is remarkable,
no warlike implements are found in
this locality, from which it is inferred
that they were a peaceable race,
and
were probably exterminated or driv
en away by the Indians. In one of
the graves was found a beautiful little
vase, which had been placed in the
hand of the inmate of the tomb at
the time of the burial. Upon this lit
tle bit of earthenware was the model
of a diminutive animal The care which
these people took of their dead shows
a high degree of humanity. We learn
that other investigations in this sec
tion are to be made ore long. The
field is certainly a rich ono for the an
tiquarian.—Nashville Times.

Pegged boots, if occasionally dressed

by the commissions, which carries the
track two hundred and seventy .miles
west of the Missouri river.
Tho Crawford County system of
making nominations was tried in the
staunch Republican county of Lancas
ter this year for the first timo, and it
worked admirably. Primary meetings
wore dispensed with, and the Repub•

result is an excellent ticket, and entire
harmony.

' A great geological curiosity has just

rough sandstone, which bends, with a
slight pressure, like a piece of Indian
rubber or gutty penile of the same
size.
A party of travellers who have been
exploring along the Yellow Stone riv•
or, in the far Northwest, report that
on eight miles of the country there
are the most wonderful volcanic ap
pearances, blue flames issuing from
the ground, accompanied by a strong
whistling sound, craters abounding in
every direction and streams of molten
brimstone. Hell was the name they
gave-that newly diseovored country.

will be run without a single storpage,
and the time occupied will bo two and
a half hour's, the speed being at the
extraordinary rate of eighty one miles

[LDVEILTISLUENT.]
T IIE RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR
SENATOR!
TEE PREVIOUS PARD ON ! !
READ THE RECORD 1 I l
As the Radicals have nominated SAMUEL
MCVITTY for the Senate, it is proper that the
people of the District, of both parties, should
know who he is. And for this purpoqe,
without malice, we propose to give a chapter
of his history.
In 1841. John Brotherline, the present ed
itor of the Blair county Radical, and a sup
porter of McVitty for the Senate, was the
Whig candidate in this county, which then
included Blair, for Sheriff. Christian Coots
of this borough, was an independent Demo
cratic candidate. John Shaver, of Shirley
township. a Whig, came out as an independ
ent candidate against both the others. Sam
uel McVitty then lived at Shirleysburg, and
was a Democrat. He and Judge Leas, of
Shirleysburg, who was also a Democrat, were
Coots men, but believing that Cents could
not ho elected, they determined to 'strike a
corrupt bargain with Shaver, and then have
Cents withdrawn. In pursuance of this de
termination, McVitty, Leas, Coots and Sha
ver met in secret at Shirleysburg, on the Bth
day of September, 1841, when MoVitty and
Leas drew up the following paper, and had
Couts and Shaver to sign it in their presence;
we copy it exactly, except some corrections
in orthography:
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT made and conclu
ded upon, by and between Major John Shaver of Shirley
township, Huntingdon county, Penne , of the ono par:,

.1011N.BRA VER.[L. S.
011aISTIAN COUTS. e.J
This agreement—so full—so minute and
handsomely drawn—was the work of Samuel
MeVitty, the present Radical candidate for
Senator, and his friend and conferee, Hon.
William B. Leas.
Everything went on finely under this ar
rangement. Couts withdrew as-a candidate,
and Jolla Shaver was elected Sheriff, But
now came the trouble. The Whigs made a
desperate raid on Shaver and he then refused
to stand by his bargain, and appointed John
Armitage his Deputy, instead of Christian
Cents. After Shaver's election, McVitty did
not care so much about Cants' appointment,
if he dl!fitld only be made Deputy himself, and
to secure his own appointment, he, Judge
Leas,
,and a prominent Democratic lawyer of
this place, went to Shaver's house in the
night, soon after his election—but failed to
find him at house—and thus both °cuts and
McVitty were thrown overboard. Shaver
having thus violated his faith, McVitty deter
mined on revenge, and had Shaver indicted
for corruptly influencing Christian fjords to
support his election. Having been instru
mental in having Shaver do what lie did, lie
then indicted him for it.
An indictment to No. 4, November Ses
sions, 1841, was drawn against John Shaver,
and a True Bill was found by a Grand Jury
of which Joseph Smith, Esq., a prominent
Radical of Gollidaysburgolnd a present friend
of McVitty, was Foreman. On the 15th of
January, 1842, Shaver being arraigned, plead
not guilty, but the Jury returned a verdict - of
"(milli/ in manner and form as he stands in
dicted," and SAMUEL MeVITTY, in that
trial, was a witness for the Commonwealth!
Oh, shame! On the 16th April, 1842, Shaver
was sentenced to pay a fine of 5100 and the
costs, and to undergo an imprisonment in
the jail of the county for one month ; and
John Simpson, coroner, was ordered to exe
cute the sentence : and '• Sheriff Shaver was
sent. in tears, to jal.
Thus McVitty had obtained his revenge
upon Shaver; but the end had not yet come.
The same Grand Jury that found the bill
against Shaver—Joseph Smith, Foreman—
made the following

Whereas, nt a Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace
hold in and for the county of Huntingdon, at January
Sessions of said Court, In the year of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and forty-two, Christian Coots, Wm.
Lens, Samuel MeVitty and John Shaver, were inibcted
and charged with the crime of conspiracy, unlawfully
and wickedly rommiring, combining, confederating and
agreeing together, to promise to confer divert gifts nod
rewm ds upon n certain Christian Conte, ono of the before
named conspirators in order to procure the election of
the amid John Shavor, ono of the before named conspira
tors, to the alum of She lit of cold county ; and a node
prescijni having been subsequently entered by the Alton
ney General as to John Shaver, ono of the said defendants,
And whereat, it has been represented to me, that said
indictment was preferred of a period of groat political ex
citement, when the minds of men were In some degreo
excited with raacorons animosity against each other,
but that upon more mature reflection this unfortunate,
state of fooling has born allayed, and that neither public
justice or the good of society will be promoted by any
punishment, of the indillduals charged in said indict
ment.
Now, therefore, In consideration of the promises I have
deemed this a proper case for the exercise of the Execu
tive clemency, nod do pardon the cold Christian Gouts,
Wm. B. Leas and Samuel itleVitty, the said defendants,
of tho offence and offences alleged in said indictment, and
the 3 are halal severally and fully pardoned accordingly.
Given under my hand and the great seal of tho State,
at ifarrisburg, this thirty-first day of August, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty
two, and of the Commentre.tith the sisty.aixtb,
By the Governor.
A. V. PAREONS,
Secritary of the CumniontueaWl
Thus we have given a brief chapter from
the life of Samuel MoVitty ; and it has the
merit of being authentic. Part of it is, in the
language of his own plea in 1842, "sealed
with the great 'seal 'of-the' -Commonwealth,"
rind the balance•Of it is under the seal of the
Court of Quarter Sessions -Of Huntingdon
county..- It -is 'true, ederiLiaard of it, as can
be ieethby examining - the recelfds in the of
fice Or the Prothonotary.-
And let: us' call.otte,ntion to_the witnesses
for the ; Ciunitionwearth _on: the indictment
agaimit ItteVitty. Ani - ono. their were George
Taylor, thiw our honored Judge, A W. Bene
dict, Esq., dew deceased, John Flenncr, now
a Director of the Poor of this county, and
•
others of equal worth.
And why procure a Nenions Pardon, if not
tfitilty? It is the guilty, not the innocent,
that flee when no man pursueth. McVitty
had sent Shaver to prison, and he felt that he
was equally guilty, and ho wes trembling lest
he should become a convict in the prison
kept by the Sheriff that he had corruptly elec
ted. Here then, is a record—true to the let
ter, and the men who made it, is now a can
didate for, the high office of State Senator.,
Wo have no bitter-words to write about him,
for we feel that the simple truth is bitter
enough.. View his conduct in the light, of
ohnrity, and can any honorable man endorse
it? He entered into a corrupt bargain—and
then aided and assisted in sending to prison
the very man-whom lie had induced to be-_
come a party to the fraud. And having pun
ished Sheriff Shaver, and feeling, his pwn
guilt, he procured a PREVIOUS PARDON.—
Should such a man be trusted?
Sheriff Shaver and Christian Cents are in
their grave.. - Samuel MoVitty is the Radical
candidate for State Senates•, and William B.
Teas was nno of his conferees I So we go,
and suoh is life.
