Philadelphia
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18. 1869.
THE TWO PLATFORMS
=1
Resolved, That we rejoice in the glorious
national victory of 1868, which has brought
peace, happiness and prosperity to us as a
nation.
Resolved, That we wholly approve of the
principles and policy of the Administration
of General Grant, and we heartily endorse
every sentiment contained in his inaugural
address, and especially do hereby ratify and
approve the late amendment proposed by
Congress to the Constitution of the United
States, and known as the fifteenth amend
ment.
Resolved, That Ave have confidence that the
General Administration will wisely and firm
ly protect the interests and dignity of the
nation in respect to our just claims against
Great Britain, and that we endorse the ac
tion of the Senate in rejecting the Johnson-
Clarendon treaty, known as the Alabama
claims.
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize
with the struggling peoples of all nations in
their efforts to attain universal freedom and
the invaluable rights of man.
Resolved, That we confidently endorse the
Administration of General John W. Geary as
wise, economical and honest, and that it de
serves, as it has received, the approval of the
people of Pennsylvania, and we especially
commend his uniform efforts to restrain the
evils of special legislation.
Resolved, That in lion. Henry W. Wil
liams, our candidate for the Supreme Court,
Ave present a learned, pure, and patriotic jur
ist, who will adorn the high position to which
we purpose to elect him.
Resolved, That we reiterate and affirm our
adherence to the doctrine of protection, as
proclaimed in the ninth resolutton of the
platform adopted at the State Contention of
March 7,186 G.
Resolved, That we endorse the .ticket this
day nominated, and pledge to it our hearty
and cordial support.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this con
vention is hereby authorized to appoint a
chairman of the State Central Committee on
the joint recommendation of the candidates
this day nominated, and dint the State Cen
tral Committee shall consist during the com
ing campaign of the same number of dele
gates from each county as the last committee,
and they shall be appointed by the Senatorial
and Representative districts, except Alle
gheny, which shall have eight members.
I=
The Democracy of Pennsylvania, in con
vention met, do unanimously declare:
Fi'st. That the Federal Government is lim
ited to the grants contained in the Federal
Constitution ; that the exercise of doubtful
constitutional powers is dangerous to the sta
bility of the Government and to the safety of
the people; and the Democratic party will
never consent that the S:ate of Pennsylvania
shall surrender her gloat right of lueal self
government.
Second. That the attempted ratification of
the proposed fifteenth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution by the Radical members of
the last Legislature, and their refusal to sub
mit the same to a vote of the people, was a
deliberate breach of their official duty, and
an outrage upon every citizen of the State;
and the resolution making such ratification
should be promptly repealed, and the amend
ment submitted to the people, at the polls, for
acceptance or rejection.
Third. That the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania is opposed to conferring upon the
negro the right to vote, and we do emphati
ically deny that there is any right or power
in Uongress or elsewhere to impose negro
suffrage upon the people of this State in op
position to their will. - . -
_Fourth. That reform in the administration
of the Federal and State governments in the
management of their financial affairs is im
peratively demanded.
Fifth. That the movements now being
made for the amelioratioit of the laboring man
have our most cordial co-operation.
Sixth. That the legisl.ttion of the lute Re
publican Congress outbid° of the Constitution;
the disregard of the majority therein of the
will of the people and the sanctity of the
ballot-box, in the exclusion from their seats
of Representatives clearly elected; the estab
lishment of military government in States in
the Union, and the overthrow of all civil gov
ernment therein, are acts of tyranny and
usurpation that tend directly to the destruc
tion of all republican government, and the
creation of the worst forms of despotism.
Seventh. That our soldiers and sailors,who,
carried the flag of our country to victory
must be gratefully remembered, and all guar
antees given' in their favoi most faithfully
carried into execution.
Eighth. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and native-born citizens at home
and Abroad; the, assertion of American na
tionality, which shall command the respect
of foreign Powers, and furnish'an example of
encouragement to people struggling fur na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty, and
individual rights.
Ninth. 'That the present internal revenue
and taking system of the General Govern
ment is grossly unjust, and means ought to
be at once adopted to cause a modification
thereof.
TO THE LADIES!

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE
On the banks of that broad river,
That flows on from day to day,
Oft, in childhood, have I wanderpd .
With my comrades there to play:
Or some pleasant day in summer• '
We would take our little heat
And we'd sit and sing together ' •
As we down the stream• wruld float.
Back beyond the tall green rushes,
That grew at the river's side,
Mdf a mile from that -blue'river -
Where we used to sing, and ride,
Stood the cottage of my father:
Where my early days were spent,
And where round the family altar
WO in sumilicatiOn bent.,
But ydars have passed since childhood
And the scene has changed since then,
For stern death has been among us,
Stole a lamb from out the pen ;:
Stole a mother'from her children,
Robbed a husband of his wife,
Made that little cottage lonely
And took the idol of my life.
Still we struggle on together,'
• All that's left of that small band.
"Ever onward" is our motto
As we journey hand in hand.
But the journey is not gloomy,
Though a small and helpless band ;
For we know we'll meet that loved one
In a bright and better land.
Letter from New York.
NEW YORK, August 7, 1869.
Dear Globe: As we are all supposed
to be out of town, dullness should be
our portion, Gut candor compels me to
the confession that enough of our com
mon kind remain to give the visitor or
resident ample food for interest and
amusement. Certainly the, weather
proves no drawback to remaining in
our city; it is positively delightful;
our mornings and evenings filLus
. with
a vigor ample to meet the business re
quirements of each of us Complaints
of dullness ono hears upon every side,
some of it doubtless attributable to the
dissatisfied spirit that pervades every
business center—to that insatiate long
ing for more, that fills every human
heart. Content bhould be ,claCsed
among the mythological, so seldom do
you meet it. •
Broadway never can be dull. The
ever-passing, hurrying throng shows
no sign of decrease; the long lines of
trucks hurry through that crowded
thoroughfare contesting every spare
inch of space with the inevitable buss,
whose drivers aro the embodiment of
reckless caution. flow men escape all
form of accident is to me a daily- won
der. Looking anxiously for a space
among the tangled mass of horses and
vehicles, you launch yourself among
them; a t-un, a warning yell from be
hind, and the tongue of a buss play
fully inserts itself under• your very
nose; a sudden spring forward to dis
cover some new contestant fan• the ho
nor of your death; the shrill whistle
of the Broadway officer, and in a mo
ment order comes from chaos, and you
see approaching one of those stalwart
intelligent fellows, like some grand
frigate with her convoy of defenceless
craft—said ,craft being a pair of nicely
dressed girls,who aro gently and sale.
ly conducted to that, without his aid,
impossible landing—the•opposite side
walk. Instinctively you fall into their
wake, and thank fl)rtune woman's
powers are omnipotent on Broadway..
I found my dexterity on toy coming
hero caused a panic at every crossing.
Such wasmy,artful (lodging that • ,my
companions in my daily walks on that
thorough( are ; became. timorous asKthil
dren at the imaginary dangers I was
constantly leading , them into. Many
an indignant remonstrance has been
leveled at me ; when in a fury of cau
tion I've seized upon them and dragged
them from to mo instant annihilation,
my thanks being, "Confound it, I saw
that cab; don't drive me into a sudden
decline by your misapplied energy."
Why, Globe, rye scattered a crowd as
would a ten-inch shell, by a look of in
tense caution and a spring to one side,
every man coming in an opposite di
rection imagining a troop of uncon
trolled horse upon them. Many a
curse doubtless has fallen upon my de
voted head from the sole proprietor of
a much loved corn or cherished bunion
brought to grief by my feats of activ
ity.
Nothing can he funnier than to see ,
the coming of our country cousin and:
his first effort as a sight-seeker upon
our great thoroughfare. He merges
into the crowd and becomes one of
them, when in an instant something
strikes his fancy; a sudden.stop ; bang
drives a fellow into his rear, round goes
his head, a muttered apology from the
banger or a muttered curse, as the hit-.
mot• strikes him, and again he moves
to suddenly find his hat performing
acrobatic feats in the air in company
with some other hat; a mutual stop, a
return of damaged property, a broad
grin from a New York crowd, and our
rustic friend wonders "How on airth
men kin be so arkard," and on he goes ,
bumping and buMped, until the first:
cross street offers him a safe harbor to
•be only too gladly accepted.
Tis "marching down Broadway" is
rare sport. You see the New York
girl, "the girl of the period," with her
saucy look of "Gentleman, your admi
ration is lost upon me; I am up to all
that sort of - thing, C belong to... New
York." •You read this upon the faces
of so, many .pretty, dashing women
hero that you feel the day not only of
woman's rights but entire supremacy•
is coining on apace. IL is very amus
ing to any careless spectator—the dash
of these girls, and•if you feel no other
regard for them than so fin• as they
contribute to the enjoyment of your
self and friends on your stroll, pleas.

of these little witches, then there would
be so much to reprove and• cry down:

character of man, eschew all worldly

Did the-man in the,Moon -behave so
badly to your sun as he did to our sun ?
We put, our glass into mourning to
view his audacious advances; it was of
the most shocking character; a deep
shade of grief was upon Old Sol's vis
age, in filet one Ilia of his dear, cheer
ful face was lost iri gloom, while the
smile upon the other was orthe most
dolorous- character.. I am-. sure the
threat of that horrid man in the moon
was that "he would make him laugh
upon the wrong side" of his fabe"'and
he did. Such were our feeliekii wo
could not- !bolt upon the sad picture
without "pane," and men. (I blush)
made their "panes" marketable • in
fact, every upturned face wore look
of gloomy "broken panes."' Alt, me,
so 'thany- 1 poor people hid their sorrow

upon i this disgusting piciure. - The man
with a glass eye was no uncommon ob
ject upon - our streets,'end he' - With - a
"pain", in his stomach was a mortal to
be envied. It's all over now; the
gloom has been dispelled. A monster
meeting will be held on Monday after
noon'at the City Hall to express in e
suitable mauler our indig nation of this
base attempt to cast a shadow upon
the spotless face of our "sun." It is
fully expected the meeting eclipse
any of a similar character for years.

"SEEING THE ELEPHANT."—rA couple
of lads in Portage City, Wis., climbed a
tree outside the tent to get a' "dead
head" . kle.W of Forepaugh's circus. As
soon as the elephant was through in
the ring, the managers brought him
out and hitched him to the, identical
tree from the limbs of which' the lads
were viewing the circus To "a boy
up a tree," thislooked a little out of
order , ; but they kept as quiet as death,
fearing that,' they would either lose the
closing performance, or be thesuhjects
of the displeasure of the circus man,
if he should discover them "dead-head
ing" it to' his show. In dile time the'
performance closed, the crowd disper
sed, and horror upon horrors, the
keeper of the animals now added to :
the perils of their situation.by hitching'
two smallei• elephants and a camel to
the same tree. Our lads now discov
ered that they were in for a night of
it, as all, hands had left„e,xecp . ting
only themselves and the animals on
guard below. All hope of escape vas
now cut oft. About this time' Romeo
concluded to investigate.matter'sabout
him, and with his trunk commenced
trimmifigout ,the smaller branches ; --
Our boys commenced climhing
until tifeY got above his' reach; and
now the camel took up 'the: investiga
tion, and poking his ugly mug up
among the limbs, he drove the boys
to the very uppermost , branches
of the tree, where they were discover
ed, at' daybreak, by their anxious par
ents, who had been searching for them
in vain all night, teetering and tossed
about, like blackbirds on the top of a
rice stalk,ou a windy day. `!he boys
I saw more'cif these. animals plan all the
rest 'of 'the ' boys in town; and bfoi
nothiri'," too; arid if they don't re
member the time for the balance of
their natural days,when they,"sat up"
with Romeo, then we miss our
,guess.
The phrase "seeing the elephant," had
to them, a practical application which
they will always remember:.

Captured by the Indians,
Another Chapter of HoirOrs---The Suffer
in gs of a White *Oman. "•
From tho Omaha Herald
About four years since ; a family
named Weigel removed from Ohio to
ICansas, and settled on a strerirrrknOWn
as Solomon's Fork. The family 'eon-.
sisted of John Weigel and .wife and
three children, two boys and a girl,
the former aged respectively ten and
twelve years, and the latter' three. A
homestead of eighty acres was taken
up, and in two years was under culti
vation. At that time, as our readers
will remember from accounts

throughqhlit- portion 'of Kansai,' lettp-!
ing deativiand destruction in their,
wake. The Weigel farm was 'attack
.ed, and the entire family except Mrs.
Weigel •butchered. That day was the:
last Limo she was seen •until Sunday
.last, when 'General Carr made an at
tack on an yillago near the
Platte Valley station. Two white wo
men were seen by the soldiers 'in pos
session Of the Indians, struggling as if
to make their way to the ranks- of-
General Carr's command. An order
was given to "charge" and rescue the
women, which was observed ; with a
will by the'brtiVe men, btu fiefo r fe'they ,

savage, sunk his tomahawk into :the
head of one of them, whose only known
'Pattie is Kusitniin, who fell to the earth.
Another red devil fired a teVolver,,ht
Mrs'. Weigel, but the shot 'fortunately
struck a rib and glanced off, causing
but a slight wound. Before any; other
murderous. demonstrations could be
made, a private - Soldier whose name
and nOmpany is at presonCtinknOWn,
put spurs.to his horse and- rushed gal;
lantly to the heart-of the,lndian:band,
grasped Mrs. Weigel , by the waist, lift
ed her on to his horse, and gall Oped
away to the , wagon train,- where care
andattlerition •was'•gi yen the un forth;
nate woman. Too much ,praise .can.
hot be bestowed_ upon the brave man,
and was his name but known, it would
boa pleasure to herald - it forth to 'the
world. The battle soon' afterward,4
came to a termination by the capture
of, the. entire Indian outfit, with, the
exception those whO "fell early in
the fight." Mrs. Weigel stated to an
offieer,that she had been a prisener
among the Indians since ;the stun melt
of 1867. For a year she had beep the
forced mistress of Orow'f-Foot chief
named "Buffalo Man," who, tired of
her after a year, and disposed of her' to
another chief, named "Tall Tree,", the
considerations being a couple of,ponies.
She states that several times after her
capture 'she attempted suicide,
' was treated with all the kindness gen•
erally bestowed by Indians, which had
a tendency- to
_cause her to accept the
situation ; yet she never could accus
tom herself' to pollution. She has be-,
come very Coarse of feature; caused'
by exposure. Her joy at being rescu
ed was very great, but she scorns, af
ter all, discontented, and at times tired
of life. At the time of her first cap
ture, she'was tied hand and foOt and
forced to'pander to the helliih desires'
of her captor.,• Mrs..-Weigel has rela
tives in Ohio, who have been : notified
of her re•capture, and - will impied,iate
ly remove her to'har old Ohio, home,.
This is a: strange, sad yet true stor y
of life on the Western • plains: Many
items concerning the. hellish outrages:
of the red-skins are suppressed , for
decency's sake, but wo have given suf
ficient to convey a definite idea of her
severe trials. •
.t'.There seems to be no doubt that.
the city' of Joroalem - desCroyed by
Titus remains' buried under the foun
dations of the modern town, and that
many most valuable relics may yet be
brought to light., The explorations at,
Jerusalem, under the direction of
Lieutenant Warren, aro resulting in
some highly interesting discoveries.—
The city is built upon hills intersected.
by valleys, but it is in , the .depths of
these lattei; that the ruinSpf,the anti
ent - eapiial'of the'world are to he found
buried un'der:debris -to the depth of 30,
50, and even..9o feet.' Th'e - mode of•
exploring ia,by sinking shafts through
the mass of rubbish to the
Seine fifty shafts have been sank, and
at the bottom otiO':the - foandationS"
of the old walls' of tho Temple' 'A - rea
have been found, ninety - feet below
the surface. Mysterious characters, at
present, un intelligible, are to be seen
on 'some of the stones. The explora
tion:of the Ticket Israii, or Pool Of
Bethesda, has revealed a vast vaulted
reservoir nearly 100 feet in!depth.:
extent is still being investigated. ; In
a part, of the ll:train Area. a tank
mouth was 'lately' entered,:and was
found to•lead toe' da'rge' 'structure 63
feet long by 57 wide,• vaulted very
much like a church. There is every
reason to,ilope that the full .investiga
tioh of these ruins will yield the most
important discoveries; but every ,-haft
sunk must be lined With wood; and its
