No_ "Let us have Peace," said Grant four years ago, and we have had four years of Peace and Plenty. Nobody but sore heads.and office-seekers want a change. "Fraud !

"All's well that ends well," particularly Cald-well. ita — It is said that Speer bought the Globe at its real value, and is now trying to get rid of it at its own valuation.

Will it now have the manliness to correct? ve.. Brains are very necessary in con ducting a newspaper, but without good executive ability no man can run the Government of the United States success fully. Greeley is a mere theorist ! vs,. The Newport News says the Johns town Democrat had roosters on the brain last week. We doubt whether it ever has anything else. There is generally more of that kind of thing about the Democrat than brains. xis. The Monitor's rooster crowed be fore he was out of the woods! It was a desperate swagger and flopping, but he couldn't stand the pressure. Take him down, Cornman, and make a meal of him, the ridiculous fellow ! D®" Mr. Justin McCarthy writes from London to the N. Y. Evening Mail, that "It is an article of faith among Londoners, even among politicians and journalists, that Horace Greeley is a sort of rough and roy stering lunatic, who was nominated for the clear fun and broad jest of the thing by a nation of practical jokers. I assure you this is no exaggeration. I don't know that I met one single Englishman who could at first be induced to believe that Horace Greeley was seriously regarded in America as a politician at all." DEFECTION OF SUMNER AND 3ANKS. Senator Sumner alid the Hon. N. P. Banks, M. C., have gone over to Greeley and the Democracy. It has been the ex perience of our country, in all past Presi dential campaigns, where a re-election of the President was contemplated, that the disappointed, in considerable numbers, took sides with the opposition. It is so now : it always will be so until human na ture itself is changed. Disappointments have come from various causes; more or less of hatred is engendered, and revenge follows. If the party in power had select ed another man for the Presidency instead of re-nominating the President, these dis affected fellows would have adhered to their party, in the hope that a new man would reinstate them in office, or listen to and abate their grievance, whatever it be; but in the re-election of the same in cumbent there is no hope of redress, and so they swing off. In the case of Charles Sumner his griev ance is personal. He is a hard man to get along with in peace and harmony. It was with the greatest difficulty that President Lincoln managed to avoid arupture. Sum ner would persist in having his views and plans adopted ; but Mr. Lincoln, studying his temperament, would shape his remarks so as not to offend while he eould not en dorse Charles Sumner. "Well, Mr. Sum ner, said the President after listening at tentively to instructions as to what the President must do, "you and I think just alike, only you are a little ahead of me in point of time." In this way Mr. Lincoln managed to avoid an open rupture. Pre sident Grant was not so successful. The first improper step taken by Sumner was in giving Minister Motley instructions in reference to his duties in England upon the Alabama question. Those instructions differed from those received Oat the State Department. Mr. Motley was Sumner's protege, and followed the Senator's in structions instead of those received from Mr. Fish, Secretary of State. The facts were laid before the President, and Mr. Motley was promptly recalled. Sumner became impertinent with Fish and the President, and his conduct became intol erable. Neither the President nor the Secretary of State could meet him, and the Senate found it necessary to appoint some one in his place, whom they could receive, as Chairman of the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Affairs. This was a most humiliating blow to the Senator, but it was caused by his own wicked wilful ness, and was indispensible to harmony.— Sumner ever after left no opportunity un employed to oppose the President and de feat the measures of the Administration. He has been the victim of ungovernable hate and revenge ever since. On the 11th of July twenty-four res pectable colored men residing in Washing ton, addressed a letter to Sumner asking, his views as to which of the two candi dates they ought to support for the Presi dency. After nineteen days—days no doubt of severe struggling against his bet ter judgment and the dictates of conscience Charles Sumner replied in a three column letter : "My vote will be given to Horace Greeley," and the letter was devoted to arguments and an appeal to them and all the colored citizens of the Union to do the same ! That from Charles Sumner ! Grant was abused, traduced and misrepresented, while Greeley was lauded with the same intensity of passion. Even the Democracy had been "regenerated"—that is his word, and were now the true friends of the col ored race while Grant had invariably treat ed them with "indignity." The Cincinnati platform is a better one than that of Phil adelphia, and the supporters of Greeley are better Republicans themselves. 77sat from Charles Sumner ! EDITOR Hon. N. P. Banks was invited to speak at a Republican meeting in Salem, Mass., and replied that he could not any longer support the views of the Administration. He put his defection upon general disap proval of the policy hitherto pursued and says that harmony of the entire Union can only be secured by a change. His letter is much more consistent than that of Sum ner ; but the point of divergence in his case is well known. As Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, he used his influence in favor of Cuba whose cause had his full sympathy. In all his efforts to aid that country he was opposed by Fish and the Administration. Butler too was at one time in full sympathy with the Cubans, but finding that an endorse ment of their cause was not going to gain him favor at headquarters, he dropped the matter. Banks never abated his sympa thies, and left Washington at the close of the last Session of Congress disheartened and soured. He is now for Greeley. Was he right or was the Administration ? Even admitting that Congress and the Adminis tration have erred by the inactive policy pursued towards Cuba; does that afford a sufficient reason for any man of influence to abandon the party with whom he has always affiliated, and go over to the oppo sition ? Has it come to this that states men have so degenerated as to allow their personal disappointments to control their public policy ? When such becomes the case they are no longer worthy of public confidence or capable of filling places of trust. A Republican Government is safe only in the hands of pure men of patriotic spirit; and we look upon it as providential that the re-nomination of that honest President, Gen. Grant, is bringing to the surface and blowing away the pseudo-Re publican element from which has come ALL the opposition against which the present Administration has had constantly to con tend. nEs, The Globe wants a Legislature that will look into the vaults of the State Treas. ury. How would Dad Lewis do for one ? It might be a good place for him to get into provided there was anything lying around loose. If the Democrats permitted him to visit them frequently he might stick to the party for several months. Da. That very honest sheet—the Globe —insists, when it puts money in its purse for turning its back upon principles, that it is only exercising its independence. This may be so, but ain't it rather a strange independence? A kind of independence that Benedict Arnold exercised ! It wasn't very popular in his day. RECORD OF GEN. HARTRANFT AS I BUCKALEW IN CANADA , AUDITOR GENERAL. How the State Has Fared Under a Ca. pable and Faithful Officer. FACTS VS. SLANDERS. The office of Auditor General, says the Pittsburgh Commercial, was created by William Penn, in his organization of the Province, and has always been in existence under the State. It is the oldest and in many respects the most important office in this State. In fact, as now administered, it is more responsible and more important than that of G . overnor. Its functions are mainly judicial, and as the result of its settlements, judgments in favor of the Commonwealth are annually entered to the amount of nearly s6,ooo,ooo—for every settlement, not appealed from within sixty days become a judgment against the indi vidual or corporation defendant. If, there fore, the official records show that our can didate for Governor, in addition to being a gallant soldier, has, for nearly seven years, conducted successfully the affairs of this office (which, in its importance and magnitude, has no parallel except in the case of the Pennsylvania Railroad,) the conclusion is irresistible that he is fully qualified for Governor. - We said the Auditor General's functions are largely judicial. Other courts are or ganized to administer justice between man and man. This court adjudicates questions of taxation between the Commonwealth and her citizens and corporations. During the last year eleven-twelfths of all moneys received in the State Treasury were the results of adjudications in this Auditor General's Court. All settlements not appealed from within sixty days to the Dauphin County Court, become final judg ments against individual and corporation defendants. An exact calculation will show that these settlements amount to $lB,OOO per day for three hundred work ing days in the year, and about thirty-five thousand cases passed upon by Gen. Hart ranft in his seven years' administration.— Now, even his enemies being judges, all of these, except only the Evans case, have been well and wisely decided. If, there fore, his opponents admit that thirty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine cases have been honestly adjudged, it will require strong evidence to convict him of this single error. The truth is, however, the Evans case was taken out of his Imes, and by acts of the Legislature and Con gress placed in other hands. All his con nection with that case exhibited zeal and perfect fidelity as a public officer. But let the record speak : Table showing the amount of Receipts of the State Treasury yearly, from 1860 to 1871, both years inclusive. Also, the amount received as tax on Personal Property and Real amount received fro' by the Auditor Gen, Estate, and the i settlements made :rays office : +y m n e o 0 s .o 0 H O to gG-9- '1269,203 29 1762,049 98 . 1733,401 91 1621,718 80 1959,206 10 919,258 00 390,960 35 277,337 66 454,673 10 702,765 44 499,802 24 6743525 021 6211747 63 4289451'65 4733313 02 6219989 67 5829668 54 28423830 07 5216049 54 5241711 28 6336603 24 7197945 62 1863 1865 1866..- 1867 1868 1870 1871 In the first column, opposite 1861, the war loan of $3,000,000, and opposite 1867 the loan to take up the overdue bonds, $23,000,000, are entered. Strike these off to make the comparison complete. Then this table gives the financial operations of the State Treasury for twelve years—six of these under former Auditor Generals, and six under Hartranft. The aggregate of the former for six years is $12,000,000, while General Hartranft's aggregate for the same time is over $27,000,000. Such a record is more forcible than ten thousand fault-finders. The tax-payers will also note, from this table, that while the tax on real and personal property paid by the many is reduced to one-fourth what it was in 1865, the taxes on corporations paid by the few are nearly three times what they were before this time. But even this is not all. In addition to the accounts shown to have been paid by the above table, General Hartranft cer tified nine hundred and eighty-five cases to the Attorney General for collection, amounting as follows 1866 .$ 426,801 03 . 205,385 28 • 166,283 66 . 220,233 29 . 137,880 28 . 102,752 12 50,989 65 1867. 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871 1872 (in part) $1,310,325 31 Total But even this is not all the operations of this Auditor General's court, as admin istered by General Hartranft. A large number of corporations have entered ap peals to Judge Pearson's court, against the judgments of the Auditor General. These are ninety-five in number, and represent $1,825,436 83. Many, too, of these ap peals are what are called test eases—where half a doien others agree to be bound by tha decision of our own Supreme Court, or the Supreme Court of the United States. The whole aggrogate passed upon by Gen. Hartranft, during his term of service, is $35,000,000, and in all this be has not been found fault with, except in the Evans case alone. The world's history may fairly be chal lenged to show a parallel to General Hart rdnft's administration of the Auditor Gen eral's office. His military record of nine teen battles, brilliant as it is, is thrown completely into the shade by the fact of his having passed upon thirty-five thousand cases, involving thirty-five millions of reve nue, and even his opponents can single out only one—and this not really in his hands —to cavil at ! Our statements are taken from the public records, and we challenge contradiction. Dm. There are those who appear to think that because Horace Greeley has been a successful newspaper man that con sequently he would make a good executive office. There never was a greater delu sion. Horace Greeley has never controlled the finances of the New York Tribune for a single day since it was established. He admits as much in his "Recollections of a Busy Life.". lIIS . 2 , IANWEST TREASON READ ! READ ! ! READ ! ! READ ! ! When Senator Charles R. Buckalew was in Canada, " invistigating the Indian police "of than British dependency, says the llarrisburgh Telegraph, Jake Thomp son, Clay and Holcombe were at the Clifton House, NiagarA Falls, with a million dollars in gold to pay incendiaries to burn the cities of the North, and destroy the steam boats owned larg..lly by Mr. Buckalewi's constituency in Western Pennsylvania— and inciting the "Sons of Liberty " to rise in insurrection against the draft. Mr. Thompson reports to the Secretary of State of the Confederacy that " a daring attempt had been made to burn New Yorle,"and that " a great destruction of steamers at St. Louis was caused " through the act of a man to whom be paid money for this dastardly act. Mr. Holcombe reports also, to Benjamin, THAT HE MET CHARLES R. BUCKALEW IN CANADA, and that in the efforts made by himself, and conspirators, to "put themselves in communication tenth the LEADING smarrs "of disloyalty, in surrection and incendiarism in the North, they were successful. Here are the facts. What is the plain inference ? It seems like an insult to the understanding to argue so clear a cake . But as an attempt has been made to parry these alarming facts, and to defend the swift " master .spirits"—so eagerly sought and so easily found, it may be necessarito probe deeper. Mr. Thompson, discussing the contemplated insurrection in the North through the 'Sons of Liberty" led by their "master spirits," says : "I was received among them with cordiality. * * Its organization was essentially military; it had its commanders of divisions, of bri gades, of regiments and of companies. * * * The 20th of July (1803)was •fixed as the day for a movement. * * * * It was necessary to have a series of public meetings to prepare the public mind; the first one was at Peoria, and to make it a success, I AGREED THAT S 3 MUCH MONEY AS WAS NECESSARY WOULD BE FURNISH ED BY ME l The vast multitudes who at tended seemed to be swayed but by one idea—Peace." The property of Pennsylvanianians had been burned at St. Louis. A ruffian had gold in his pocket to burn more boats at 'Cincinnati. A daring attempt had been made to burn New York. Another wretch had money to introduce loathsome diseases into Northern cities. Others had more to burn them in the stillness ofmidniget, giving the aged and the helpless to the flames. Thompson, Clay, and Holcombe were in Canada hiring these ruffians, paying them and inciting them to blood. AND THEY WERE THERE FOR THESE OBJECTS ALONE ! AGAIN WE ASK CHARLES R. BUCKALEW, "WHAT WAS YOUR BUSINESS WITH THESE WRETCHES intent on the destruction of YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND THEIR PROPERTY ?" 1 .. 1 , 1, i;;;11 ,7:64... g_F.,3' THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS The Democratic newspapers, of which the New York Tribune is now the chief ; claim to be painfully alarmed over a dis covery professed to have been made by The Tribune that President Grant and his Sec_ retaries arc running an editorial "mill" in Washington, and supplying the country Republican press with editorials. Consis tency would, it might be supposed, lead to the inquiry how the President, if con stantly absent from Washington, as the Democratic press claims, can possibly be there at the same time dictating articles for his Secretary Douglass to write up for the Republican press throughout the country. The Tribune knew when it made the charge that the President or his Secre tary Douglass was so employed, that it was not stating the truth. We have the very best authority for stating that the Presi dent has not dictated a secular article for a newspaper since he was inaugurated and probably never before that time. We know positively that his Secretary Doug lass is not so employed, and has not writ ten or contributed an article to any paper within a year. Ile spoke in North Caro lina previous to the election there, and no doubt, judging from the result, did good service. There is his home and no man had a better right to participate in the battle so successfully won by the party of progress. 012;681 00 1,920,633 09 1,746,919 62 2,501,205 84 3,677,511 04 3,691,045 58 4,880,184 61 4,394,613 12 4,244,059 28 4,945,924 09 5,393,234 01 But while we make this reply to the.. charges of the Tribune and its little satel ites, the Democratic country newspapers, we have no hesitation in saying that many of the best Republican papers have cor respondents in Washington. We have employe.d and regularly paid, as our re ceipts will show, a correspondent in Wash ington, and so long as the liberal patron age now extended to the JOURNAL will warrant it we propose to do so. It is there, l i and there. only, that access can be had to mud' important statistical, financial and departmental information, and we propose to give cur readers the benefit of all useful facts, important statistics and official pro ceedings through the aid of a Washington correspondent or editor. The Tribune does the same thing. Every live paper in the country does so. Editors who, from pecuniary inability or a lack of enterprise, fail to avail themselves of this source of journalistic advancement, fail to do justice to their readers, and usually fill their edi torial columns, like the New Castle (Pa.) Gazette and Democrat, with column ad vertisements of a big show about to arrive- If a good article is sent by our Wash ington correspondent to another paper, or his articles are copied from the JOURNAL, so much the better. What we print we pay for—always have paid for. If Grant's "mill" or any other body's "mill" in Wash ington is supplying contributions gratui tously, we would advise the Democrat to avail itself of a supply at once and afford its readers something worthy of perusal.' Dii7 The following States and Territo ries hold their elections before November : California, Sept. 2; Vermont, Sept. 3; Maine, Sept. 9; Colorado Territory, Sept. 10 ; Dakota, Indiana, lowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and District of Co lumbia, Oct. 8; South Carolina, Oct. 10; West Virginia, Oct. 24. Twenty States hold their State election at the same time as their Presidential, which saves much trouble. DINNI YE HEM TIM SLOGAN! North Carolina 0. K ! Wri, aro Nit of tilO Kil-Killx Wilknoss! THE "MONITOR'S" CHICKEN CONE TO ROOST ! He Laughs Best who Laughs Last! Ask a Chappaquack how North Caroli na has gone, and he is mum. Only a few days ago artillery resounded through all the principal cities of the Union, announ cing a glorious victory for—the Liberals said one; the Democrats shouted another. But it was a victory for neither. Accord ing to the latest returns the Republican party have achieved a signal victory in that State. It will be remembered that the vote last year was upon a new State Constitution, and had no decided party significance, many of the Democrats voting for it. In 1870 the election was on a par ty basis and showed fairly the strength of the two contestants. The Democrats came out 5,000 votes ahead. Now they are de feated by a majority of 1,200 votes for Governor, and have failed to retain their usual majority in the State Legislature.— This is a sad result for the Any-thing-to beat-Grant party. "0, if Sumner had only come out two weeks sooner, it would have been all right," said a Chappaquack. But it is a Weak party that is compelled to depend for success upon defections from the opposition. Well, this first gun from North Caroli na will soon be responded to from Maine, and from State after State on through the Union to Oregon, and next November will roll up a majority for` "the hero of a hundred Intl]." that will make wiser if not better men of those who are now per sistently misrepresenting the President and his Administration. BUCKALEW DURING THE WAR He Presides at a Camp Meeting of Home Rebeli What He Was Doing While the Loyal Men of Pennsylvamia were Fight ing for the Union. In order that our readers may know that we do not misrepresent Mr. Buckalew, says the. Pittsburgh Commercial, we quote from a book giving all the proceedings of the " Nob Mountain Camp Meeting," which Was a three days' political camp meeting, called for the purpose of galvan izing into respectability the Fishing Creek Confedetacy. The idea was original with Mr. Buckalew, and for three days, near the banks of the Fishing Creek, he and his compatriots glorified themselves and the men cheered for Jeff Davis. We have heard the cheers inspired by this "liberal patriot," and seen the Copperhead badges worn by those, who, during the dark days, were inspired by his sublime teaching. At this very meeting they were proudly worn, and Mr. Buckalew, the presiding genius, asks that doubtfulpatriot, Victor E. Piolet, of Bradford, to introduce the victims of his treason, which he did in the following words, which we quote from the book re vised and indorsed by Charles R. Buckalew. FORT MIFFLIN PRISONERS. Col. Victor E. Piolet came fbrward and said : "I am requested by Senator Buckalew to ask any of the gentlemen who were imprisoned in Fort Mifflin, and who are now present, to come forward and take scats upon the stand, so that we may see and have prominently before us the men who have been victims of the fanaticism and the persecution of the last year. [Applause.] It is peculiarly ap propriate that they should take this position now, because the speech with which you will be enter tained this morning is to have special reference to last year's expedition against the Democrats of old Columbia. lot those men who were imprisoned in Fort Mifflin come up here and show themselves." In response to the invitation some thirty or more of those who were arrested last summer and then taken to Fort Muffin came forward and took seats upon the plat form. As they were recognized by the vast audience, they were repeatedly cheer ed. Among them were men venerable with years, many in the prime of manhood and others in the first blush of maturity. They occupied seats on the platform dur ing the residue of the meeting. THE LADIES FOR GRANT, The New Northwest, published at Port land,- Oregon, and edited by Mrs. A. J. Duniway, which has been received at this office for some time, comes out fairly and squarely for Grant and Wilson. • It is one of the neatest and most ably edited papers received at this office. In the issue of the 2Gth ult. the editress says: "Now, women of Oregon, let me say to you, gird on your political armor! Old party ties are as nothing. We have had a general political upheav al. Grant, a reformed, reclaimed, victorious Dem ocrat, at, the head of the Republican party, with a plank in his platform upon which the women of America can stand asd sip unsalted water gruel— the only political sustenance ever yet offered them by any party—and Greeley, a renegade Republi can, who has bartered his birthright for a mess of pottage (which he will never get), as leader of the Democratic cohorts, are in the field to-slay, and to one or the other must descend the Presidential toga.. The Republican party declares that our "demand for additional rights shall be treated with respectful consideration." General Grant has done more fur women than any former President, and Wilson (not our Joe) says that "woman's claim to the ballot shall be respected," while Greeley thinks it will be his duty to turn every half-paid woman out of office—when fie gets in—and that Heaven has commissioned him to proscribe all women, and Brown can't see a woman in a Liberal Convention when she presents herself.as a delegate. "Woman Suffragists of Oregon! noble men and women who work for principle! two Presidential evils are before you. Which do you consider the least 7 . . "I respectfully urge the women everywhere to form Grant and Wilson clubs. Become political manager., dear, disfranchised friends, and when the politicians learn your real value, depend upon it, they will appreciate you." ye_ The Conference to nominate can didates for Delegates, to the Constitutional Convention, to represent the Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Blair, Bedford, Fulton and Somerset, met at Bloody Run, on Friday, the 2d inst., and placed Hon. S. L. Russell, of Bedford, and Rev. J. W. Currey, of Altoona, in nomin ation. These gentlemen are ably qualified end will make efficient members of that honorable body.

We had nothing personally against either of the candidates nominated on the State ticket, but dissatisfaction was manifested at the manner of their nomination, and we hoped that the matter might be adjusted. When it settled down to a fight between a man who sympathized with treason in the hour of his country's peril, and a man who, took his life in his hands and put forth almost superhuman efforts to crush out treason, we did not hesitate a moment. Simon Cameron has nothing to do with us. re- The Globe says: "We lias , e only seen the surface of the corruption that has controlled the Republican party of this State f9r years." This is "what's the matter" with Dad. As long as he suppo sed he saw all the corruption, and got his share, he was satisfied, but sonic knave made him believe that there was sometb:ng beneath the surface that he could not see nor share, and he was over in a moment. • - gn,. Some of our Republican friends think they are compelled to take a Demo cratic paper against their wishes because they are in arrears to the old firm. This is a mistake. When a new firm is estab lished, though it consist of a part of the old firm, subscribers are under no obliga tions to it and a refusal to lift its papers is sufficient to exempt the subscribers from any further liability to the new firm. For several days last week we could not leave our head be seen, outside of the JOURNAL office, without being interroga ted, by some elated Democrat, in regard to the North Carolina election. But within the last few days Democrats disappear around the corners like a streak. Their faces ure as long as a mule's. What's the matter ? "Fraud !" "Bayonets !" "Bal lot-box Stuffers !" they mutter now. - Verily, the Globe has become a sphere (Speer) and is hurled through space at a fearful velocity. We predict that it will be shivered to atoms on the sth of November next, at which time it will collide with our Republican world and then subside. It will confine itself thenceforward to the STEER-it world. m. Horace Greeley has only filled two public positions in his life, and the univer sal verdict has been that they were fail ures. While in Congress he frittered away his time talking about pen-knives and mileage, and in the Constitutional Conven tion of New York he was engulphed in the same kind of small business. gar Horace Greeley has been more im posed upon by swindlers and impecunious hangers on than any other man in the land.
