Is_ When you hear a man crying for "Reform" until his throat is sore, mark it he is only advertising for some honest scamp to come around and corrupt him. It is a way some scoundrels have of attract ing attention. 1145 - The Philadelphia daily Post has donned a new and handsome dress, and it looks as bright as a new brass button. The Post is an excellent newspaper, and bar ing its love for the Chappaqua philosopher, does and says many good things. Price two cents or $6 per annum. sir Bolting Democratic journals are multiplying. The Terre Haute (Ind.) Journal and the Seymour Democrat, lead ing journals in Indians, refuse to support Greeley. The Savannah (Ga.) News, of the same party, says that Grant will beat Greeley 20,000 in that State. le. The Democrats of Mifflin county have placed the following ticket in the field : Congress, R. Milton Speer; Assem bly, George Bates ; Delegate to the Con stitutional Convention, Andrew Reed ; Sheriff, Seth Benner ; Coroner, Geo. Mil ler; Commissioner, E. C. Kearns; Direc tor of the Poor, James F. M'Near ; Audi tor, James C. Dysart. gm. The Chairman of the Republican County Committee has gone to work in good earnest. He will be found at the Headquarters of the Grant and Wilson Club. Now come up and give him a help ing hand. We are satisfied that he will do his duty if you will do yours. When he requests you to assist him, go to work and do it. Mr. Tyhurst will make a cap ital Chairman. THE COUNTY CONVENTION , In another part of to-day's paper will be found a very full report of the proceedings of the Republican County Convencion.— The Convention was one of the most har ' =onions, orderly, and well conducted that has assembled for years, and consisted of the ablest men in the county. Men, who could, in the main, be relied on to do their duty without fear, affection or favor. The ticket presented by it is one of the ablest and best that could have been se lected, and is as well received as ticket s are generally received where there are so many conflicting interests. We congratu late the Republicans of Huntingdon coun ty upon the ticket which is presented to them, and when it is completed by the District nominations, we feel sure that ev ery true Republican will roll up his sleeves and go to work to secure its election by at least one thousand majority Republicans, you cannot all be gratified in nominations ! This is out of the ques tion ! But if you desire the success of the Republican party, yield to the will of those who have out-voted you, and as you desire to be supported when you are nominated over the friends of somebody else, turn in and give them your hearty support. Do as you wish to be done by ! If you want to get the sup port of the Republican party, you, in your turn must stand by it! Organize ! Or ganize !! Organize !!.! PRESIDENT GRANT'S ADMINIS TRATION REPUBLICAN NOT PERSONAL, EDITOR Chief among the unwarranted assertions in Senator Sumner's attack upon the President is the allegation that he has made his Administration "personal, auto cratic, non-Republican." Mr. Sunnier asserts that such would be a natural result from the character of the man, saying "to comprehend the personal government that has been installed over us we must know its author." And as if the people of this country did not full well know Ulysses S. Grant, the Senator, slurring over the Pre sident's military career and fame, declares it his duty to draw the picture of General Grant "as a civilian," which, summoning the most imaginative powers of his own artistic ability he proceeds to do. The picture does not fail to furnish the people with Charles Sumner's idea as to what sort of men should be considered entitled to places of civil honor and responsibility.— Sure that he can inform the people upon this all-important point, he very appropri ately commences by belittling the people themselves. In an address, commendatory of Presi dent Grant, Senator Wilson illustrated the glory of our institutions by referring to the fact that the President had risen to his high position from the humble occupa tion of a tanner. This statement Mr. Sumner quotes and sneeringly observes, "such was his prepar ation to govern the great Republic," &c. Farmers will do to harrow the stubborn soil; mechanics are well enough for their greasy occupation ; soldiers are indispen sible to do soldiers' duty and fill soldiers' graves, but these plebians must not aspire to high civil office. "The camp is not the educator of the statesman," says Mr. Sam- The burden of his philosophy is that we must have "trained men, statesmen" to fill the civil offices. To be sure we have been somewhat accustomed to elevate our far mers, our mechanics, our great soldiers to places of honor, for which their merits and abilities have seemed, in the uneducated judgment of the people, to commend them; but we have had, and henceforth we must have statesmen. No more of your self made men ! Mr. Sunnier says we must have statesmen, so statesmen we will have• "Shoemaker, stick to your last" ; attend to your awls and leather apron, and the gen tlemen statesmen will take care of the country. If such be not the words, such is precisely the spirit of the pompous Sen ator's observations. Theoretically he would have no caste, but statesmen should hold the offices. While, in his wrathful bitterness, the Senator was intent upon his picture of "civilian" Grant, he was unconsciously drawing a far more truthful portrait of himself. In his pitiful endeavor to belittle Grant, by reference to his origin and pur suits, he unintentionally portrayed his own well-known contempt of humble things and his lordly love of pomp, high station, and ancient name. But the Senator avers that President Grant has established personal government. If it be so then most adroitly has it been accomplished; for the people had not dreamed of such a thing until the Senator proclaimed it. Let us see : Republican government is established "by the people and for the people." Personal government is established by the tyrant and over the people. Republican government is limited and responsible; its powers are separate and co-equal. Personal government is ir responsible, and its powers arbitrary. In accordance with which of these has this Administration acted ? Gen. Grant was elected•to execute the laws. He declared his purpose unhesita tingly to do so. Has he not redeemed that pledge ? In what direction has he exhibited a tendency to transcend the lim its of his Constitutional duties ? Has he erected the barrier of his personal will to impede legislation ? Has he sought to trammel the deliberations of Congress ? Has he refused his signature to the pro per measures, or applied his veto to the detriment of the public good ? Has he failed to recommend provisions for the public weal, or has he recommended meas ures designed for public injury? Has he endeavored to undermine popular rights ? Has he trifled with the sacred name of American citizenship and its guarantees ? Has he evinced a disposition to destroy ancient privileges and immunities ? Has he openly or covertly entered upon a cru sade against the beneficence of the Consti tution and its inestimable securities . ? Has he endeavored to establish caste ? Has he disregarded the social proprieties of life ? Has he ever turned an unwilling ear to the humblest in the land ? Has he failed to see the revenues honestly collected and faithfully appropriated ? If he has not invaded the sphere of the Legislature, if he has not violated the peo ples' rights, has he sought to pollute the spotless ermine of the Judiciary ? Has he appointed judges for corrupt purposes?— Has he delayed the administration of law or equity? If he has done any or all of these things, why have we not heard the stentorian tones of Mr. Sumner demanding the High Court of Impeachment ? If President Grant has not done these offences, then what becomes of the Sena tor's sweeping charge ? Personal government always bears its ear-marks. If such a government "has been instituted over us," as the Senator says, then - where are the ear-marks ? Where are the lace and tinsel, where the courtiers, where the edicts, where the lettre de cachet, where the prostituted judges, where the master's livery, where the invariable indi ces of personal government ? We do not discover them. They do not exist. The Senator has been deceived by a mirage. President Grant has been true to the whole country; true to every pledge he has made ; true to the Republican platform, and true to the Republican party. He hap succeeded as a statesman ; and, as if it had been specially provided that he should lack no title of the merit he deserves, Sen ator Sumner himself declares that with Grant's lack of experience, failure and not success might have been anticipated. By so much then is his merit increased. The President has not only been com petent to rule this country, but in the words of Holy Writ, "to teach his Sena tors wisdom"—at least some of them. He seems to have early learned a lesson which his Senatorial assailant has entirely omit ted, namely, that it is "a proud heart that stirreth up strife" and that "he that ruleth his own spirit is better than he that taketh a city." Grant has done both : the Sena tor neither. - per The JOURNAL will be furnished to, new subscribers from this date until the 10th of November, (close of campaign,) for 50 cents. tf. THE STATE TICKET. The various sensational reports about meetings, here and elsewhere, says the North American, in which the withdrawal of General Hartranft from the State ticket is considered, indicate nothing more im portant than the desire of Democratic lead ers that such withdrawal may take place. If the Republican press of the State may be taken as authority, the opposition to General Hartranft is no more formidable than it would be to almost any other can didate the Republicans might name. The Democrats, as a party, are, of course, in vigorous opposition, and so would they be in any case. Any party, if ordinarily wise, will not neglect to learn even of its opponents ; and the wisdom likely to be gained by opserv ing the Democracy is the fidelity with which that party generally cleaves to its standard-bearers. In some respects a more objectionable candidate could not be pre sented to the people of Pennsylvania than he who heads the Democratic ticket for Governor. His war record ought to render his election impossible. On the other hand, the civil and military life, has yet to bd impeached either of dishonesty or of treason. We do not say that Mr. Buck alew was guilty of treason, because that crime has no definitive quantity in this country, the Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding. But Mr. Buckalew, about the time that General Hartranft was risking his life in the field, was secretly engaged in counselling with Jacob Thomp son and other arch rebels in the interest of disunion. So much seems as certain as tlie facts of history can well make it. The fact, that Mr. Buckalew was counselling with rebel emissaries during the darkest period of the civil war, was not announced at the time. Why? Mr. Greeley did not conceal the fact of his relations with Jacob Thompson, George Sanders, and others, on the same occasion; why should Mr. Buck alew have hidden his share in that misera ble business? Mr..Buckalew is simply a politician, and, save a single crotchet, a partisan politician at that. The people have to choose between him and General Hartranft. In choosing they cannot ig nore the part these men played in the war for national existence respectively. We do not state the case too strongly when we say that no man who held secret communi cation with rebel emmissaries during any period of the war is fit to occupy the exe cutive chair of this Commonwealth. The people, we presume, will take a similar view of the matter. HIS ENEMY SPEAKS WELL OF HIM. The North American makes the follow ing excellent point : While past conduct, conviction and interest all unite to swell the Republican vote in this State at Lboth of the coming elections, and pare from the Democratic what it cannot afford to lose, the indications are abundant that this will be the case. The brilliant record and pub- . lie services of Gen. Hartranft, so worthily recognized by the party, have the singular good fortune of being recognized too by his opponent. Before his own nomination was contemplated, Mr. Buckalew said ; "I know General.Hartranft well, both as a public officer and a man. As Auditor General he has shown himself a most faith ful, upright, efficient and accommodating officer, and ho would make an excellent Governor." This is a complete endorsement, and its fulness and frankness awakens regret that it cannot be returned in kind. But, mind ful of the uncontradicted charges of asso ciating with the traitors Holcombe and Thompson, in Canada; of opposing the very action for the Union in and by which General Hartranft won his laurels; of ob structing all national movements that were seeking to crush rebellion; of advocating measures now that are in part dangerous and wholly undesirable, Mr. Buckalew's commendations of General Hartranft must be accepted with thanks and without re joinder. It is not often that a candidate, approved by.his personal and political re cords and the voice of his party, adds to these the certificate of his opponent. This is General Hartranft's deserved good for tune. Ofir The JOURNAL will be furnished to new subscribers from this date until the 10th of November, (close of campaign,) for 50 cents. tf. pa. The Standard misrepresents us when it says the substance of our article was that "an editor, by virtue of his pro fession, is at liberty to make the foulest charges against such of his fellow-citizens as may be candidates for public office."— Neither our article, nor our views, admit of such a construction. No, no ! On the other hand we believe that no respectable editor will make charges against any indi vidual which are not based upon substan tial facts. But when such charges are made, however, would it not be more manly, more sensible, more in accordance with the intelligent age in which we live, to disprove them, than to shirk them and divert attention from them, by applying approbious epithets and titles, and libelling and slandering the editor who makes them ? Does it not seem childish and unmanly to do so ? Does it not exhibit a feeble and pettish and effeminate disposition? Is it creditable to journalism ? We always make a due allowance for aged ladies and little children ; but we expect dignified and cultured gentlemen, like the editor of the Standard, to stand up for the dignity of the profession. sek.. We take great pleasure in saying that H. H. Mateer, Esq., of Brady, who was Permanent Chairman of the Republi can County Conventibn, deserves the thanks of the entire Republican Party, for the able and satisfactory manner he dis charged his duties. He pleased everybody. is_ The Philadelphia Press, of Satur day last, makes the statement that Gen. Hartranft's vote, in this county, will be a thousand less than that given him for Auditor General. THE STATEMENT IS FALSE lti EVERY PARTICULAR. Who is the author of this brazen falsehood ? Trot him out, Mr. Press, or we will believe the statement to have been manufactured- to order. We elialleige the author of it to name twelve Republicans in the county, of character and standing, who will vote • against General llartranft on the ground that he is not a proper candidate. The Republicans of Huntingdon county are alive as they never tave been before, and they will give an increased majority over last year, at the October election, as sure as the sun will rise and set !

THE NEW YORK TIMES, DAILY, WEEKLY, AND SEMI-WEEKLY This journal is now thoroughly identified with the great est political necessity of the hour—uncompromising war fare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years pasethe TIMES has been exposing the demoralizing schemes of self-interested poli tician., and its recent warfare upon the Tammany Demo crats hits been received With universal approval. It lia.s adhered to the pledge given in its original prospectus, more than totenty years ago, that the public should be truly represented, and their interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record hes been pure and honor able, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render it more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confi dence which the public repose in it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, end guide it en all public questions. They purpose that the' TIMES shadl continue to keep dear of all narrow and unworthy influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions. It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all subjects and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the county adds to its poorer and influence. It will continue to be a faith ful exponent of Republican principles, recognizing the claims of American industry in adjusting the sourcse of revenue; and it will advocate with untiring, energy every cause which tends to further the welfare of the people. A full summary of news, and many general articles of great interest, are published in the Semi-Weekly editions; and in the Weekly Edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings at the Farmer's Club, an excellent sum mary of political information, and a great variety of mat ter suitable for family reading.

It is really surprising how rapidly Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines are becoming popular all over the country. Thousands are daily praising them for their many virtues and say they would not be withont them in their families. To you who have never tested them, we would say if you hare Freer and Ague you cannot do better than use DR. WENGERT'S MOUNTAIN HERB BITTERS. For Liver Complaints, Scrofulous Affections and Diseases arising from Impurities of the Blood, use THE INDIAN VEGETABLE Restorative and Blood Purifier, Dr. Wengert's Magic Balm h c ° 4 9 7: u ctirto r :l272 a iiit ff s e et a fTe or Re spiratory Organs. THE SAMSON OIL reed only to be tried to convince the most incredu lone that it will cure Nervous Headache, Cholera Mochas, Colic, Cramps, Sprains, Bruises,&c. Dr. Wengert's Hepatica Pills are an Alternative Cathartic, and can be used for an ordinary Cathartic or Physic, and should al ways be need in connection with the MOUNTAIN HERB BITTERS in severe. cases of Fever and Ague. We know that there is continually being palmed upon the people some wonderful prepara tion that is without merit or virtue, therefore the people lose confidence in preparations that do pos sess virtue. Yet it would certainly be unwise and unreasonable to condemn all the various remedies offered to the public because some are disgraceful humbugs. All we ask is for you to give Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines a fai- trial, and if they are not deserving of your praise and confidence, then denounce them in your strongest terms. Fouse's I. X. L.
