The Conventions.
On Tuesday of last week the Union
Republican Delegate Convention mot
in the Court House Hall, and put in
nomination a full county ticket. Per-
Imps there never was as strong a con
test or as full a turn out at delegate
elections as there was for delegates to
this Convention. The Convention was
full—every district represented. It
was• noisy, and bad order continued
from: the beginning to the end of the
Convention. The Democratic Con
vention on Wednesday was no better.
The Union Republican ticket is an
average good one. The Democratic
Convention nominated Harry McAteer
of Alexandria, for Assembly. It made
no other nominations, and adjourned
ta':ineet at the call of the President
Graffuti Miller. The Union Republi:
canTieket will be found at our mast
head' where it will remain until elected
or defeated on the 2d Tuesday of Oe
tober next. It shall receive our earn
est support.
As far as we have been able to learn,
there was no attention given by the
Convention to the votes cast for or
against the Crawford County System,
and we cannot say whether the ques•
tion was voted upon generally through.
out the county. We give the procee
dings in an another. column as full as
it , Was possible for us to get them.

Solemn Conclave of the Unterrified.
The Democratic County Convention
assembled in the Hall of the Court
House on Wednesday last, and to sly
that intelligence, wisdom and "loyal
ty" was everywhere marked through
out the solemn and impressive procee
dings, would but feebly express the
true character of that "noble band" of
persecuted, liberty-loving, self-sacrifi
cing opponents of the war, it has ever
been our mortification to witness.
The Convention was called to order
by the Chairman of the County Com
' mittee, and proceeding to ballot for a
Chairman of the Convention, it resul
ted in the election of a "renegade,"
who upon being called to the chair de
livered his inaugural, which was to the
point.
The Chairman—The first thing in
order is something else.
Nick—Mr. Chairman what's to bo
done now?
Tho member from Now Jersey—Mr.
Chairman, 1 offer the following resolu
tion.
Nick—Mr. Chairman what resolu
ion ?
Chairman—The Secre6ry, will read
ho resolution, which ho did as follows :
Resolved, That this Convention pro-
ceed to nominate a candidate for As
sembly, after which we will adjourn,
to meet again at the call of the Chair
man, it not being deemed advisable to
nominate a.county ticket at this time.
Nick—Mr. Chairman what does this
resolution mean ?
Ex-member—Mr. Chairman I want
a County ticket nominated, will have
a ticket nominated and demand that a
ticket be nominated. •
iffember from New Jersey—Mr.
Chairman there is no use in nomina
ting a ticket to be knocked down, for
the bloody radicals have things all
their own way.
Nicic-41r. Chairman I would like to
know
Chairman—What action will the
Convention take in the matter.
Mere quite an animated debate took
place between the Lx-member, who
saw that ho 'was being beaten at every
stage of the proceedings, and who had
now become furiously mad, and the
member from Now Jersey, who was as
calm and serene as a March wind.]
After the confusion had partially
subsided, an old gray-haired "one of
the faithful" sang out "Let us have
peace."
Nick—Mr. Chirman when can I make
my speech ?
Chairman—The gentleman will be
heard at the proper time.
Several amendments and amend-.
maks to the amendments to the
resolution were offered and discus:
sod pro and con, whereupon several
members took occasion to relieve them
selves of an extra amount of "bile."
They spoke in glowing terms of the
"grand old Democratic party," and
with tearful eyes bewailed the misfor
tunes of the old ship, and denounced
the Republicans as liars, bloated-bond
holding aristocrats, bone dried usurers,
carpetbaggers, scalawags, and as dis
honest, treacherous, sneaking, lying,
cowardly, bigoted, puritanical, power
loving, labor-disposing sneak-thieves,
as Judas Iscariots, and as damned,
extravagant, iniquitous puppets, all of
which elicited the most' profound and
deafening applause. During this tro.
mendous out-burst of enthusiasm, the
majestic form of Nick, the "noblest Ro
man of them all," was seen standing
erect upon ono of the benches, and
after the noise and confusion had par.
tially subsided, the clarion voice of
that true typo of Democracy, was heard
beseeching the attention of the Chair
man. Nick at last got the floor.
Nick—Mr. Chairman this is Alex- I
andria borough and not Porter town
ship. I don't know which side I'm on.
I don't krow what the question is. I
am a Democrat, 1 belong to that noble
band which opposed the war, I am op
posed to.the war yet; I am opposed to
the nigger and.l. am opposed to the
Government, but as I said before I
don't know which side I am on, and
urge this Convention to think over
this matter, weigh it well and vote.un
derstandingly. It is of the greatest
importance that I don't know which
side of this question I am on, but I
again urge the Convention to consider
what is of the utmost importance, and
vote understandingly on this question.
But what I was going to say Mr.
Chairman, I don't exactly know what
side of this question '1 am on, but let
mo urge the members,of, this Conven
tion to vote •understandingly. But, I
am not done yet, Mr. Chairman, I de
sire to say still further; that I don't
know what side I am on, but I do
hope that this ballot will not bo hastily
taken for I would like the members of
this Convention to vote understanding
ly on this question. Mr. Chairman
this is all that Alexandria borough has
to say. I am done. "Let us have peace.",
For at least a quarter of a second
after the conclusion of Nick's remarks,
the most unbounded enthusiasm pre,
trailed, and shout after shout rung
through the ball, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the Chairman
could again restore order and quiet
and resume the business of the Con.
vention.
After, some - 'further discussion the
Chairman was about to,put the pies•
tion, when the Es-rnembUr demanded
the yeas and nays, and - it was "so or
dered."
The yeas and nays were called on:
Shall wo or shall wo not nominate a
county, ticket.
Chairman—The clerks report that
they all' agree in their talky. The
yeas are—, and the nays are —. The
yeas appear to have it —, the nays
have it, and it is "so ordered."
Nick—Mr. Chairman 1 don't under
stand the question. What did we just
vote for ?
After a little more confusion worse
confounded, the Chairman demanded
if there was any further business be
fore the Convention. On motion ad
journed to meet at the call of the
Chairman.
[P. S —We deem it essential, to say
that Nick "declined the honors of the
Convention," and that Nick's speech

tween the United States and State le
gal authorities in Now York. Pratt,
over whom the conflict is going on,
was a rebel major in Texas, and lead
er of a party of guerillas. lie, with
thirty-seven of his band, were captur
ed in the fall of 1868, and imprisoned
in the jail of Jefferson. On the night
of October 4, all the prisoners broke .
jail, cutting their way through the
guards, killing three and wounding
several others. On the sth of this
month Pratt was discovered and ar
rested in New York by a United States
Marshal, on a warrant from the U. S.
Commissioner, and placed in jail, His
counsel made application fur the writ
of habeas corpus, first to Judge Blatch
ford, of the U. S. District Court, and
next to Judge McCann, of the Supreme
Court of New York city. After an
animated discussion by counsel, Judge
McCann, on the 11th of August, dis
charged the prisoner, on the ground
that the warrant, so far as the offence
of treason is concerned, plainly accu
ses him of no such crime, and second,
so far as murder is concerned, the U.
S. Government has no jurisdiction.
The prisoner was ordered to be dischar
ged, but the U. S. Marshal refuses to
obey the decree of the State Court.
Pratt was taken to Fort Schuylkill.
The latest diSpatch is to the effect
that a company of U. S. Artillery is
on duty in the U. S. District Court
room, fully armed and equipped. Mar
shal Barlow, under an order from
President Grant, intends to hold the
prisoner, Pratt, in spite of the State
Court. Judge McCann, it is rumored,
ordered the Sheriff to call out a posse
if necessary to enforce an order dis
charging Pratt. No open conflict has
taken place, and it is thought it will
be averted.
Who is Pershing ?
The Democratic party present to the
State Mr. Cyrus L. Pershing as a can
didate for the Supreme Bench. On
that party, its press and leaders, rests
the responsibility of telling the people
who this Mr. Pershing is.
Common rumor says that he is a re
spectable young man of average talent
for a Pennsylvanian who always voted
with his party. Row the Democratic
party voted during the war is not and
never will he forgotten. But the peo
ple are not satisfied with a juvenile
partisan, however smart or however
faithfully he may have kept in the
ranks.
On behalf of tho people of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania we ask
the Democratic party for information.
Has Mr. C. L. Pershing ever tried a
case before a jury unassisted? Give
us the caption, with the number and
term.
How many suits has Mr. C. L. Per
shing already argued before the court
in which he is now ambitious of a seat?
Is Mr. 0. L. Pershing known in
Cambria as anything more than a jus
tice of-the peace lawyer?
What great principle of law has ever
been elaborated by Mr. C. L: Persh
shing's efforts? What loading case
has ho ever shared the glory, of contes
ting ?
Will Mr. C. L. Pershing, if elected,
resign his position as local attorney
for tho Pennsylvania Central Railroad?
We ask that little question as the De
mocracy were greatly troubled lest
General Grant, if elected, should not
resign his commission in the army.
Tho voters of the State have a right
to have those questions answered. For
a Supremo. Judge it is their duty to
vote intelligently.
Let us have light. Until we have
an unequivocal answer, there is no
choice at all between a lawyer like
Williams and a what-is-it like Persh
ing.—Press.

THE GLonE—Fifty cents foe thrdo
nlontfie,.
The Ohio Democracy and George H.
Pendleton.
In Ohio, at least, the Democracy
have determined to be true to their
inconsistency. The attempt to foist a
soldier upon those who aspersed him
throughout all the years of the war
hand:wen baffled by that soldier's self.
He:Could not forget his -selfrespect,
nor yet the duty he owed to his cred
itors, by consenting to be made a tool
for the basest partisan purposes. How
Could - he look a creditor in the face
whilst standing upon a platform of re
pudiation and expecting the suffrages
of those who anxiously awaited the
announcement that the public credit
has been destroyed? Duty to his
creditors forbade it. Now that the
the game of unfairness, which the
Ohio Democrats intended to play, has
been exposed, the true instincts of the
party crop out. They go back to the
only original, the only true sentiment,
out-and-out antipathy with everything
which made the war a success and
which makes our country respected.
They ' have unearthed one of their
worst-preserved fossils, and mounted
him at the head of their columns,
fondly anticipating a repetition of the
Cid's story. There can be no doubt
that George H. Pendleton is the em
embodiment of the only real Demo
cratic sentiment extant. There is an
appropriateness, then, about his selec
tion as Gubernatorial candidate which
the Democracy is seldom guilty of.—
He believes firmly in the divinity of
that slavefy which cursed the land,
and whose removal has given the na
tion such impetus. Liberty with him
is a constricted thing or else a lie: Not
an impulse arose in a soldier's heart
that he did not hate, not a measure
was taken to suppress rebellion that
he did not oppose and curse. .No man
is more completely wedded to the
dead and uncoffined ideas of the past
than he. When the war was closed
he drew the dagger of resentment,
and, assassin-like, stabbed the nation's
honor,•by advocating repudiation of
its debt. Around him clustered the
admiring and sympathizing Democra
cy. His announcement was received
with'so much acclaim that the honors
of the Presidential chair were deemed
the only fitting remuneration. It was
with the greatest difficulty that the
more astute members of the party suc
ceeded in Choking him off. A flank
moment Slew him ; be was cheated in
genuine Democratic style. Now, how
ever, ho comes to the surface again—
a man of honor among them, and wor
thy of their confidence. Let his rec
ord be proclaimed far and wide. Put
ting off all disguises the Democratic
party have openly returned to their
principles, never put off, but concealed
for policy sake. The Republicans of
Ohio have a plain duty before them.
The issue in that State is squarely
made. They know what to expect if
Pendleton is elected. That be never
will be, however, is a pleasing contem
plation. -It is,
perhaps, fortunate for
the country that the Democracy has
thus been forced to unmask. Their
desperate duplicity can serve their
purposed no longer. Too often have
we seen them come before the public)
with specious promises on their lips,
but with base deception in their hearts.
Even now,, in Pennsylvania, they are
before the people with a tissue of nice
words for a platform, not one senti
ment of twhich is heartfelt, except
those inserted to keep up their organ
ization. Their only real platform is
the record they made during the war.
From this they have never departed
except i3y flattering protestation.—
Wherever they aro now profiting by
their deception they aro the same old
prospective, prejudiced, slave-holding,
and liberty-holding men, who, for 40
years, retarted the growth of the
nation by,chaining it to unchristian
practices, and finally led it into war.
In Ohio they do not fear to avow it, if
the nomination of George H. Pendle
ton means anything. Tho consequen
ces of their temerity be upon them.—
The Press.
What Five Months Have Done,
Let us enumerate some' of the re
sults of the brief five montbs'of
dont Grant's administration, which'
may be cited to the public in response
to the charge that the public service is
neglected.
We were told in October last by the
same oracles that now find it so diffi
cult, in speaking of the President, to
respect the ordinary proprieties of so
cial life, that there would be a deft•
ciency in our revenues for the fiscal
year just closed of one hundred and
fiftyfour millions of dollars. That is
what they regarded as the best pros
pect the future had to offer us finan
cially nine months ago.
Now, what has this idle, cigar smok
ing, horse-jockey of a President accom
plished during the brief five months
that he has had such control of the
Government as Congress accorded to
him ?
By a greater care in tho selection of
trustworthy agents, and by a vigorous
enforcement of the law, the revenues
have so rapidly increased that the di
rent debt of the government has al
ready; since his. inauguration, been re
duced between forty-three and forty.
four millions of dollars. The revenues
from whisky and tobacco alone have
more than doubled. A reduction of
the army from forty regiments to
twenty five is to result in a further
saving of many millions.
The effects of the new policy of the
government toward the Indians can
not now bo appreciated, but enough is
already. known to make a further econ
omy in that direction that must be es
timated by millions. Our Federal se
curities are worth to day at least $250-
000,000 more than they were worth
the day our President was inaugura
ted, and aro advancing at the rate of
ten or fifteen millions a week. There
is no doubt of our ability to fund the
entire national debt within a year at a
rate of interest not exceeding four and
a half per cent. We aro sure of a sur
plus at the and of the current fiscal
year of from $125,000,000 to $150,000,-
000, and it is no longer a question that
our revenues . will justify a large re
duction of our taxes.—N. Y. Times.

Packer's War Record.
[From the Lancaster Express.]
The Democratic papers arc anxious
ly endeavoring to show how patriotic
their candidate for Governor was dur
ing the war of the rebellion ; but it
seems a remarkable fact that the wly
proof they have so far been able to
forward of his sympathy with the
cause of his country, is the fact that at
the time of Lee's invasion of Pennsyl
vania, in Juno, 1863, when his own
property was in danger, Mr. Packer
encouraged his neighbors to volunteer
to prevent the further advance of the
rebel army. That his conduct upon
this 'occasion was proper and commend
able we are not going to' dispute; but
in forming an opinion whether ho was
mainly actuated by patriotism or by
selfish motives we must judge him by
the same• standard that we apply to
everybody else, and by comparing his
action upon this particular occasion,
when his own property was in direct
and immediate danger, with his gen
eral course throughout the war, when
other portions of the country, distant
from his particular home, and the Gov
ernmetit itself, were in danger of de•
struction.
Wo know of Judge Pucker that ho
was a •member of the Democratic Na
tional Convention which met at Charles
ton and adjourned to Baltimore in 1860
to nominate a candidate for President,
and that ho uniformly acted with the
fiercest Southern extremists and advo•
cates of perpetual slavery ; that he was
one of the seceders who bolted the
nomination of Stephen A. Douglas by
the Majority of the convention, and
who met in a bolters' convention and
nominated John C. Breckinridge—a
proceeding which we imagine some, at
least, of the friends of Douglas will not
forget upon election day. From his
course in that convention—his subset ,
vioncy in all things to the dictation of
the Southern slavoholders and seces
sionists—we could have no reason to
look for any strong objection or resist.
ante from Judge Packer, when, in pur
suance of their determination long
previously formed to ruin the country
when they could no longer rule it, a
majority, of the Southern States for
mally.secoded from the Government
and declared open war against it. And
accordingly we hear no protest from
him-against the treasonable acts of his
late associates when they seized the
Government forts, navy yards, and
custom houses in the South, nor a word
of encouragement to those who were
volunteering to defend the Govern
ment, from the 15th of April, 1861,
when President Lincoln's proclamation
for seventy-five thousand troops was
issued, up to the time the Lehigh Val.
ley Railroad and other property of
Judge Packer was placed in danger.
While hundreds and thousands of pa
triotic moo and women, with not the
hundredth part of the wealth of Judge
Packer, were pouring out their money
with a lavish hand, according to their
moans, in contributions for the sick
and wounded soldiers, and for the
equipment of troops, or were person
ally volunteering for the service, like
Geary and a hundred thousand Penn
sylvanians beside; while others were
loaning their money in largo and small
amounts to the Government to provis
ion and pay the soldiers in the field—
for all that appears to the contrary the
Democratic candidate for Governor, a
man of influence among his friends
and the possessor of millions, stood en
tirely indifferent and neutral in the
contest which was to decide the fate of
the nation—saying nothing,- giving
nothing, and doing nothing in any
shape or form to encourage and sup
port the Government in its doubtful
struggle with its traitorous enemies.
is this the kind of man that the pa
triotic people of Pennsylvania, who
contributed so unsparingly of their
best blood and their treasure to sus
tain their imperilled country in war,
aro willing to choose for their ruler in
time of peace 7 We do no believe it.

five hundred thousand fights and other
