AND LAST NOTICE.
For two months we have been making
an effort to effect the settlement of the ac
counts standing on the books of the late
firm of J. R. Durborrow & Co., but up to
this time but a very small number of those
to whom we have seat bills have respond
ed. These accounts must be settled. From
those who are unable to pay the cash we
are willing to take their notes, for a limi
ted time. On the first of August we had
intended placing our books in the hands
of an officer for collection, but we will ex
tend the time to the first of September, at
which date all unsettled accounts will be
collected by due process of law. If you
would save costs and annoyance, give this
notice your attenticn. We are averse to
this mode of collection, but when no atten
tion is paid to our bills and appeals for
payment, there is no other plan left for us
to pursue. Don't compel us to add costs
to your accounts.

HENRY ARMITT BROWN, ESQ., one of
Philadelphia's ablest lawyers and most
eloquent orators, died at his residence in
that city, on Thursday afternoon of last
week, aged about 32 years, after an ill
ness of two months.
IN Mr. Speer's issue of his newspaper
No. 2 of this week, be insinuates against
the moral character of such men as
M'Knight Williamson, Geo. B. Orlady, S.
P. Smith, W. H. Benson, and Samuel
McVitty. The character of these gentle
men eonnot suffer by such attacks from
such a source.
TREASON in the greenback camp strikes
terror into the Democratic heart. Usually
political parties and organs are delighted
with defection in the ranks of their oppo
nents. How the Monitor would gloat over
divisions if there were any among the Re-
publicans. But they come too nearly home
when they are found in the National party.
S. R. MASON, the Greenback candidate
for Governor, made a speech in this place,
on Wednesday night. He told us nothing
new, and the burden of his talk was against
National Banks and the Resumption Act.
Mr. Mason is a fine looking man, dresses
scrupulously neat, and a brilliant diamond
flashes and dazzles from his virgin linen.
He don't look like a workingman.
THE end of the world is set down for
the 11th of July, 1879, upon the author
ty of the Prophet Mahomet, who has re
vealed the fact to a priest in the Mosque
of Medina. This will have a depressing
effect upon politics. The next Presidency
will not be worth fighting for, unless we
elect a candidate who can secure a post
ponement of the dire catastrophe. Could'nt
Tilden buy Mahomet off 2 If he hasn't
enough money of his own, he can make
Cronin Secretary of the Treasury and ac
complish his purpose by a slight increase
of the National debt. If Mahomet would
not yield to the greenback argument, he is
not the kind of a fellow we take him to be.
All false prophets and spiritualists are
greenbackers.
MR. FRIES, editor of the late greenback
organ at this place, was a Republican be
fore he joined his fortunes with the Na
tionals, and in leaving the Republican par
ty he did not abandon its patriotic princi
ples, but adhered to them with all the te
nacity of his honest nature. It was but
natural that he should sometimes denounce
treason, the rebellion and the Democrats,
not thinking it inconsistent with his new
political associations. In fact, he believed
that the success and salvation of the National
party depended upon its freedom from en
tangling alliances with the old organiza
tions, and was opposed to allowing it to be
used as its leaders evidently intended it to
be in this county. And Mr. Fries was not
without followers in this opposition.
THE yellow fever is raging with unabated
fury in New Orleans, Memphis, Grenada,
and other Southern cities and towns, and
the death roll is alarmingly large. One
death has resulted from the disease in
Pittsburgh, and two cases have been dis
covered in Philadelphia. The victim in
Pittsburgh came to that city off the boat
of John Porter, which has been in quar
antine below that city for a week or more.
The people of the North are sending money
and provisions to the afflicted in the fever
scourged South. The Northern cities are
using every precaution against the disease

Fleming Laughs at Republican Folly !
The Speer and North wing of the Dem
ocratic party of this county met in Con•
vention, in this place, on Tuesday after
noon last, to carry out the programme laid
down for it by these gentlemen. The
convention was called to order by Hon.
John M. Bailey, chairman of the county
committee. After calling the roll of dele
gates, Mr. Bailey stated that the next thing
in order was the election of a permanent
chairman, when, on motion, Dr. W. P.
M'Nite, of Shirleysburg, was unanimously
chosen for that position. Messrs. Green
land, Sechler and Mears were elected sec
retaries. The chair announced that the
convention was now organized and ready
for business.
Thomas 11. Adams, of Mt. Union, one
of Speer's State committeemen, prompt to
discharge his instructions, jumped to his
feet and offered a resolution that the con
vention proceed to nominate candidates for
congress, district attorney and county com
missioner. This opened the eyes of the
less than baker's dozen of straightout del
egates who would not be "seen." M'Mur-
Erie, of Penn, moved to lay the resolution
upon the table, and Stoneroad, of Birming
ham, ()flexed an amendment that the con•,
vention nominate a full county ticket.—
Speer's forces wanted the original resolu
tion to pass, and undertook to force it
through regardless of all parliamentary
rules, but the chair couldn't sec it in that
light. He rightly ruled that Mr. Mc-
Murtrie's motion was in order, and when
he so decided several delegates jumped up
very anxious to be heard on the
pending motion. The chair recognized
Mr. Stoneroad, of Birmingham, who urged
the nomination of a full ticket, and warned
the Democracy against the danger of fu.
sion. It was very evident that the remarks
of the gentleman met with little favor from
the seventy-four delegates who had had their
work mapped out for them. Mr. Fleming,
of the Monitor, Speer's newspaper No. 1,
who was "cocked and primed" with a pre
pared speech, took the floor and proceeded
to tell the delegates what was expected of
thew. He became quite eloquent at times
in his pleadings fur fusion, but the whole
gist of his ten-minute speech was "any
thing to beat the Republican party." We
wish every Republican in the county could
have heard him boasting of the advantages
that have been gained by that party through
the disaffection in our ranks. He chuckled
over it, and begged the delegates to vote
down the proposition of Mr. M'Murtrie to
lay the resolution on the table. He
wanted to fuse with the Greenbackers, but
said boldly that in a few years they could
meet, nominate straightout Democratic
tickets, and elect them independent of all
other parties. This was the burden of his
song. The yeas any nays were called and
M'Murtrie's proposition to table the reso
lution was lost by a vote of 74 to 12. The
original resolution was then adopted by
the same majority.
The delegates then proceeded to ratify
the nominations made by Mr. Speer, as
follows : Congress, Hon. Juo. M. Bailey ;
District Attorney, J. Chalmers Jackson ;
County Commissioner, James Smith.—
When this part of the programme had
been gone through with 'Squire Brown
presented a resolution recommending the
Greenback county ticket to the support of
the people. This brought several delegates
to their feet, but 'Squire Brooks calmed
the apparent coming storm by stating that
the resolution did not recommend that
the Democratic party support the nominees
of the Greenbackers, but that the people
were recommended to do so. This was
satisfactory, and the resolution was adopted
by the usual Spear majority, 74 to 12.--
McAteer offered a resolution thanking
chairman Bailey for the manner in which
he had handled the Democracy since be
had been at its head in this county, and
Fleming offered one endorsing the candi
dates and platform of the Pittsburgh con
vention, both of which were adopted.
The election of a county chairman was
naxt in order. DeArmitt nominated Peter
Gerlach, and some delegate, whose name
we could not learn, nominated D. Cald
well, esq., but his name was instantly with
drawn, in such a way that it was plain to
be seen that Mr. Caldwell was not in sym
pathy with those who were there for the
purpose of merely ratifying the work laid
out for them by Mr. Speer and Mr. North.
Gerlach was chosen chairman, and he will
be a man of straw in the hands of the man
who gave him the position.
The programme was carried out in every
particular, North's promise, made at Cres
son a month or so ago, that the Democrats
would make no nomination, was made good
—for Speer had told him so—and the con
vention, having done all that was required
of it, adjourned.
Some of the delegates are loud in their
denunciation of the manner in which Speer
run the convention, and say boldly that
they will not be held by its action, but
that they will use every honest means in
their power to defeat it. They are not willing
to ignore party principles and everything
else for the advancement of one man. They
say that Speer's sole object is to secure the
election of Foust and Doyle to the legisla
ture that they may vote for him for a seat
in the United States Senate, and to ac
complish this end he is willing to sacrifice
every other candidate on the ticket, from
Dill down to county auditor. Speer was
successful in running the convention to
suit him, but he will find that the masses
of the party will not dance to his music,
and a more emphatic rebuke will be ad
ministered to him in November next than
that which he received at Wilkesbarre
when he was hissed out of the Democratic
State Convention, branded as "a public
thief."

candidAcs for the offices to be filled at the
coming election bcferc them. The creed
of party- and platform of principles have
been made public, conventions ha‘ e met
and acted, representative men have been
nominated and the whole machinery of an
active canvass has been set in motion.
The Republicans have as standard bear
ers a candidate for every office to be filled
in November. The Greenback National
Labor party have done the same as far as
it was possible for them to do su, but the
Democrats, fearing merited defeat, have
sonnuersaulted Without ticket, party, or
platform they have frantically embraced
what they have always cursed. The Con
gressional district represented by a hard
money Democrat, they have publicly in
sulted Stenger, given the lie direct to their
past, and to serve the advancement of a
national plunderer they have adopted, en
dorsed, hitched on to and been gobbled up
by the party they have always characteriz
ed as "a gathering of knaves and fools."
To the open disgust of prominent State
politicians of their faith, they have made
good the promise of Speer's brother-in-law,
at Cresson, months ago "that the Demo
crats of this county would endorse the
Greenbackers." In the face of the open
protest of the majority of their party, by
the aid of money, threats and promises,
they have forever shelved popular and
anxious candidates, boldly shut out strong
men, and in a spirit of devilish defiance
have openly traded their whole party orga
nization for an incompetent District Attor
ney and an available County Commissioner.
As bold a movement as this must have
an explanation :
A few years ago, when State chairman
Speer had become a State character, crazed
with complimentary votes of Republicans,
which resulted in his being twice sent to
Congress, he participated in the iniquitous
back pay salary steal of five thousand dol
lars from the people of the nation. Smart
ing under the honest indignation of good
men for this, he attempted to regain his
lost position by being active at a State con
vention, when Dr. Nebinger, a member,
denounced him as a "public thief." Kick.
ed out of the house of his friends he
at once set about making himself the
political king of this county. Defeated for
congress, he narrowed his district to coup.
ty lines, and resorting to the lowest depths
of political crime he succeeded in raising
himself above the social and moral wreck of
his own making,and made his boast that he
held the county in the hollow of his hand.
Through his infidelity to J. Simpson Af
rica he was made the State chairman of
this contest. His ambition being purely
personal he sent his relatives,clients, friends
and political tricksters to attach themselves
to the new party, forced the nomination of
his favorites, and has now completed the
second act of the farce. His eye resting
on the United States Senatorship, his
first and most malignant attacks are di
rected against a possible opponent. He
had his client and personal friend made
the Legislative nominee of the Nation.
alists, who will aid him if elected. He
does all in his power to create disaffec
tion among Republicans. The real own
er of two political newspapers, the treas
ury of the State committee at his com
mand, his means of corrupting the people
are ample. He will do everything in his
power to complete his fraud. There is,
however, a large number of upright and
intelligent members of his party who repu
diate his unscrupulous sacrifice of party
and principle and will join with Republi
cans in administering the same rebuke in
November that he received at Wilkesbarre.
The convention on . Tuesday was complete
ly under his control. Delegates were
brought here under promise that their ex
penses would be paid and they be allowed
for their day. All that was done was done
with the sole object of furthering the chan
ces of R. N. Speer for United States Sen
ator.
REGISTER AT ONCE.
Thursday next, Sept. sth, is the last day
for registering the names of voters. Re
publicans, see that the name of every voter
is properly registered.
THE secret of the libelous attack by
Democrats upon Mr. B. F. Fries, editor
of the greenback paper lately published in
this place, is that he was too faithful to
the party to which ho belonged. Had he
been willing to make a semi-Democratic
organ of his paper, he would have realized
all the prosperity that Democratic support
and patronage could have given him. But
as he adhered to his principles as an indi
vidual and to those of his party as he un
derstood them, and refused to yield to the
corrupt solicitations of those whom he re
garded as political opponents, he was pur
sued first with their threats and next with
the unrelenting determination that he
should be driven from the management of
the paper and that the establishment of
which he was the owner should pass out of
his hands. And they accomplished their
purpose. When Democrats can do such
things, is it not time for the National par
ty to inquire whether it has not fallen into
evil hands ?
THE Nationals can scarcely be said to
to have any existence as a separate and
distinct party in Pennsylvania. They
cling to one or the other of the old parties
fur support. In our county they "have
grown green (not with an excess of their
favorite currency) but with jealousy over
the encroachments of the Democracy. In
another they are red with rage because
they have been unable to force the Demo
cratic party into an acceptance of their
candidates. In another they aro blue with
disappointment because they all wanted
office, and there were nominations for only
a vulgar fraction of them. A year or two
more of such experience will end their ex
istence as a party.
The people are fast arraying themselves against
politicians of the rooster class.—Speer'e newspaper
No. 2.
They have been arrayed against them
for several years past, or you would not
have been "kerflumixed" in your wild
hunt after sonic office. The people don't
want any "rooster" in their'n.
IVIE. MASON
s Candidate of the Working
:nun or of iiie Monopolists ?
The Mercer correspondent of the New
York Tr;buiw describes Mr. Mason, the
National candidate for Governor, as f.l
- :
Mr. Ilaton earl on nu, account claim to represent
"the horny-handed sons of foil." Ile is, like the
average country lawyer, lazy, and never did any
thing but moderate brain work, and not enough of
that to have induced the present softening. If
there are any callous spots about him they are not
on his hands. If he has been conspicuous in any
thing it is as:an attorney for the coal land monopo
lies in certain suits of ejectment against poor
lessees. These "poor workingmen" now have
their opportunity to get even, and I am told they
are loading their guns. The gravest charge,
however, is that he has fur years acted as agent
for capitalists and corporations in making loans
of money at extravagant rates of interest, some
say as high as 12 and 15 per cent., of which extra
percentage the lion's share went into his own
pocket. Such a man might make an appropriate
Democratic candidate, especially as his antece
dents are ofthat sort, but as the standard-bearer of
anti-monopolists and the champion of debt-ridden
reformers ne can't possibly be a success. The
motives which doubtless compelled his nomination
were, first, that his proximity to the oil regions
might possibly enhance his strength, and, second,
a desire to recognize and reward the achievements
of the Nationals of Mercer, who claim to have in
point of zeal and numbers, the banner county of
the State. They brag of 3,500 votes. Sagacious
Republicans are willing to wager that they can
not exceed 1,500. Two thousand would be a safe
estimate. These, as near as can be conjectured,
will be drafted about equally from both of the old
organizations. They have already done their
worst. In fact the etfervesence of the new move
ment has subsided and the mixture appears com
paratively flat and spiritless. The Republican
organization is full of courage. Republicans ale
confident that they shall elect their entire ticket
by a fair plurality.
How many leading Nationals there are,
especially among their candidates for
office, of whom a similar description would
be appropriate. He is not the only one
who is a lazy do nothing, who has more
callous spots on his heart than on his
hands, who is the agent and instrument
of corporations in their battle against the
people, who oppresses the poor, and who
fattens and grows rich on his accumula
tions as a usurer. There are so many
like him in his party that they have but
selected him as the representative of their
class and hope to elect him with the assist
ance of those whom they can lead by
sophistry and deception into his support.
The Southern Idea.
"The black has no right under the sun to vote.
Ile has never had the right. The ballot came in
to his possession by illegal means, and it must be
taken from him. This is southern sentiment to
day."—Okolonu (Miss) States.
The assertion that the above is a correct
statement of the "Southern sentiment" is
unquestionably true. Although not one
Southerner out of a thousand, especially of
those who control the newspapers, will ex
press himself as plainly and unmistakably
as does the 01,7)lona Seeks, yet the action
of the politicians of the South point di
rectly to the disfranchisement of the negroes
as soon as they have the power to do so.—
They are effecting their purpose to some
extent through intimidation. Terror reigns
to such an extent in some of the States
that the blacks are not only afraid to vote,
but consider it useless to nominate candi
dates. It is for this reason that there have
this year been no Republican State tickets
in Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina,
South Carolina and some others. This is
practical disfranchisement, and who can
doubt that as soon as the South can do so
she will make it legal. The rebel element
there has gained the ascendancy and the
only reliably legal element has been driven
from politics by the late slave master, the
bull-dozer of the present day. The "solid
South" is in nothing more solid than in
its opposition to negro suffrage.
Millions of dollars of taxes find their way into
the different treasuries from year to year. Where
do they go to, pray ? To feed the politicians.—
They are the drones who fatten on the toil of the
masses. Spit them out! Clip their wings and turn
them adrift.—Nationalist, Speer's newspaper N 0.2.
Ha ha! Wonder if the individual who
penned the above considered himself one
of the "drones" when he was trying to get
an office? He wasn't a bit particular,
either, what position he got, so that be
could get his share of the 'millions of dol
lars of taxes." He tried the custom house,
the mint, the post office, the prothonotary's
office, a seat in the legislature, and com
missioner of insurance, but the party "spit
him out," "clipped his wings and turned
him adrift," and he has flopped down in
the Democratic camp, where he receives a
share of the "millions of taxes," out of the
Salary Grab, for throwing mud through
the columns of Speer's newspaper No. 2.

CONVENTION NOTES.
Fleming was nervous.
Harry McAteer was calm as a mid-summer
morning.
Seventy-four to twelve is the way Speer "set it
up" on the straightouts.
A. E. McMurtrie, of Marklesburg, honestly
fought fusion, but Speer's "set up" was too much
for him.
Several delegates who came to town pledged to
oppose fusion were "seen," and they ate crow with
apparent relish.
James Norris' clarion voice was heard above the
din of the convention clamoring for the overthrow
of the "Cameron ian denasty."
One delegate, of Celtic extraction, when asked
how he liked the ticket, used the language of
Dennis Kearney and remarked, "to hell wid'em."
John M. Stoneroad's honest and manly appeal
for Democratic principles was treated with con
tempt by those too anxious to carry out the orders
of the proprietor of that once proud, but now de
funct party.
'Squire Brooks helped the delegates out of a
tight place when he told them that 'Squire Brown's
resolution called upon "the people," and not "the
Democratic party," to support the Ureenback
candidates. They gulphed it down.
Adams, of Mt. Union, M'Ateer, of Alexandria,
and Fleming, of Huntingdon, were the ring
masters of Speer's exhibition, and the "sot up"
delegates obeyed their beck and nod with as much
promptness as the trained horse of the saw-dust
arena does the crack of the clown's whip.
A resolution was adopted complimenting State
Treasurer Noyes for publishing the names of banks
and bankers with whom the public moneys are
deposited, but Mr. Fleming, who offered it, forgot
t o add that a Democratic treasurer swindled the
State out of $lOO,OOO by an over-issue of State
bonds.
Speer's convention seemed determine 1 to con
nect D. Caldwell, eel., with it in some way. Al
though ho was not a delegate he was named for
permanent chairman, and then some delegate
nominated him for chairman of the county com
mittee, but his name was instantly withdrawn.—
He don't take crow in his'n.
Editor Flew ing begged for fusion in a set speech
of ten minutes' duration, in which he said that if
the Democratic party would continue to fuse, in a
year or so more it could nominate straightout
tickets and elect them over to the Republican and
Greenback parties. Greenbacker's, put that in
your pipes and smoke it. You are only needed to

—Notwithstanding the fact that Spoer is a bank
er himself, in the last issue of his newspaper N 0.2,
he objects to bankers being sent to Congress. He
has no objection to a banker being a United States
Senator, but unfortunately for him, the people
have.
—Such shining Democratic lights as Thurman,
Pendleton, Hendricks and Ewing are to take the
stump in this State during the campaign. The
efforts of Chairman Speer to secure the services of
Jefferson Davis for the campaign in this State
were unsuccessful.
—The card of Mr. Baker, dee' ining the nomina
tion for county commissioner on the Greenback
ticket, appeared in the Monitor, Speer's newspa
per No. 1, twenty-four hours in advance of the
publication of the Nationalist , Spoor's newspaper
No. 2. Another straw to show which way the
wind is blowing.
—There is no doubt that "consistency is a
jewel," but we don't see that the Greenbackers in
this county prize it very highly. One of their
great hobbies is opposition to banks and bankers,
and yet they nominate a bank cashie- for Con
gress and permit a heavy stockholder in the same
bank to run their party for them. Oh ! such con
sistency.
—The Juniata Tribune, the new organ of the
Democracy in that county, flies the name of Wm.

hoists the name of John A. Magee, who carried
the county by a large majority against the former.
It is a family fight, and we are like the old woman
who was witnessing a fight between her husband
and a bear, "we don't care which whips."
And verily it has come to this. From the Hun
tingdon JOURNAL we learn that the straight-out
Democrats of Huntingdon propose starting a news
paper of the true Democratic faith in opposition to
the Huntingdon Monitor, Speer's organ. We are
of the opinion that when this man Speer attempts
to get above the management of a county cam
paign he is entirely out of place, an opinion that
some Democrats will coincide in.—Cumbria Her-
—Mr. Cyrus Brows, a prominent Uteenbacker
from Springfield township, in the luwer end of the
county, was in town on Saturday, and he made
the would-be leaders of the party in this place look
blue when he told them what the result of their
bargain and sale would be. He told them why
Mr. Baker, their candidate for Commissioner was
got out of the way, and how it was done. He
"spoke right out in the meetin," and gave them
to understand that he could nut be sold to Speer

—The Democrats of Cambria seem to have an
immense amount of trouble in getting a candidate

agreeably to a "set up," Dr. Yeagley was named.
Some of the members of the committee passed a
resolution "condemning all parties interested in
the bargain and sale in the nomination of county
Treasurer," an I now there is trouble in the Demo
cratic camp. If the committee had been wise it
would have given M'Pike, of the Freeman, a unan
imous vote for the place, and in doing so would
have done an act of justice to a hard worker, and
would have chosen a Democ*at in whom there is
no guile.
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
EDITOR JOURNAL—Dear Sir:—During court
week the writer had the pleasure (?) of hearing
Rev. Doyle make a political speech to a few Green
backers in Leister's building. The speaker com
menced with an apology ; said he was not at all
prepared to make a political speech. When he
took his place behind the stand, the thought oc
curred to me, has not this man mistaken his call
ing, or, was some other person called to preach
the Gospel and had he answered ? As this is a po
litical article, the reader will pardon us for refer
ing a little to the bible, as having a minister of
the Gospel to deal with, we think it will be in
place. Christ in his sermon on the Mount says,
"No man can servo two masters ; for either he will
hate the one, and love the other, or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the otner. Ye cannot
s r.ve God and mammon." We think Paul would
be a safe pattern for every minister of the Gospel
to follow in this matter. It would seem that when
he (Paul) went to the Corinthians there was some
trouble amongst them in their laws, or perhaps
their finances, that they wanted him to take a part
in or decide. Now what does he say to them ?
"For I determined not to know anything among
you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
We have been delighted in former years under
the preaching of the Gospel by this Rev. gentle
man and now is all this to be ignored by hearing
him address a revolutionary element, stimulating
them against the best government the world ever
knew ? We truly felt badly, and the speaker evi
dently felt himself that there was something in
consistent in his position. He tried to blend the
the Gospel and politics; tried to show that one
was a part of the other, but in doing this, he evi
dently was wading in deep waters. He said that
he knew but little about the finances of our coun
try ; that brother Daugherty or Boring knew much
more about them than he did. Now we supposed
at the time that this was merely a compliment
passed on these gentlemen, but before the speaker
was through we believed he just meant what he
said. He occupied a half hour or more and his
entire speech, with one exception, was made up of
denunciations, and closed without offering a reme
lt The only redeemable act that the Republican
party had ever done was the emancipation act•
This act he would ever give them credit with,
while all their other acts were "conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity." Ile charged the
government with clothing the soldiers with shoddy,
feeding them with bad bread, bad meat and bait
coffee. Now we will admit that in the commence
ment of the war the government was imposed upon
by sharpers in contracting for clothing, so that
the soldiers' clothing was not what it should have
been, but after this we challenge the world to show
that ever an army was clothed or fed better than
ours was, and we claim that this charge is false
and can only be made by an enemy of our coun
try and government. Another false charge the
speaker made was that while the poor men were
fighting the rebels in front the rich men were con
cocting plans with the government at Washington
by which they might "skin the poor soldier." Now
we ask the intelligent reader how long the poor
soldiers could have fought the rebels in front,
without the men of money and means to stand by
the government at Washington ? Soldiers had to
be fed and clothed, and their families had to be
fed and clothed, and their families had to be kept
at home, and nothing but money could do this,
hence it was a necessity for the Government to is
sue interest-bearing bonds payable at certain dates
in the future. Now the reader will readily see that
if men of capital had failed or refuted to purchase
these bonds the war would have been a failure,
the negro to-day would be in slavery, and we would
be under rebel rule. The question may be asked
here, who were first willing to buy these Govern
ment bonds ? We answer emphatically, the true
Republicans, while the Democrats, the very men,
who Mr. Doyle expects to help send him to Her
risburg, repudiated the very idea that the gov
ernment would ever he able to redeem these bonds.
They said tee war would jet a. failure, ail,' thlt
these interoet-bearing liondi and greenbackA too,
insido of tire years would not be wonu the paper
they were printed on: anti just like Hew. Doyle it
doinsr now with the Greebae:t party, they denoun
ced every thing the t•lcvernmeut did to conquer
the itebellion.
Now just here we would name a few of the acts
passed by the Republican potty that were "con
eeivcd in sin and brought forth in iniquity." One
of these wicked acts was to maintain and educate
the children of the soldier who lost his life in the
army anti also to provide for the widows ; anoth
er act allowing the widow a pension who lost her
son in the army if he had been her support ; an
other act. "conceived in sin and brought forth in
iniquity," to give a pension to every soldier crip
pled or in any woy disabled while in the service;
another act giving honorably discharged soldiers
serving a certain time 100 acres of land. To us,
there was a striking similarity between the speaker
and that ungrateful son, Absalom. It is true that
hie hair was not so long, neither was he so beau
tiful, still we think if the reader will turn to the
15th chapter of second Samuel and read the histo
ry of this ungrateful young man we will show you
that there Ls a striking similarity. We read that
this rebellius son, by fair speeches and courtesies,
stole away the hearts of the people from the true
government. "He rose up early in the morning
and took a prominent position at the gate, and it
was so, that when any man had a controversy came
to the King for judgment, then Absalom called
unto him and said, of what city art thou, and he
said thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Absalom said unto him see thy matters are
all right, but there is no man deputed by the King
to hear thee. Absalom said moreover, oh, that I
were made Judge in the land, that every man
which hath any suit or cause might come to me
and I would do him justice : And it was so that
when any man came nigh to him to do him obei
sance he put forth his hand and took him and
kissed him. And in this manner did Absalom to
all Israel that came to the King for judgment. So
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel." To
carry the similarity a little further between the re
bellious son and the speaker, Absalom had a kind
father who tenderly watched over him in his ten
der years and provided for all his wants and pro
tected him from all his enemies. But this ungrate
ful son soon loses sight of all his father's kindness
and by strategem steals away the hearts of the
people from his father. lie shows up all his fath
er's bad properties without presenting any of his
good ones. He says to the people, oh, that I were
judge in place of my father I would see that all
your interests are cared for. I would depute a man
especially to see that you receive justice. It is
not necessary for us to pursue the history of this
ungrateful son any further. Any one familiar
with the bible will remember that he came to a sad
end, and that 20,000 men perished with him in
consequence of his rebellion. Now let us look
look at the similarity: Rev. Doyle came to
our country an alien, came from a country where
he had seen poor men sit in the street and pound
stone a day for one pint of meal, while others
were carried off to die of starvation, and added
that if our government was allowed to go on as it
was doing row that we might soon see such times
here. Rev. Doyle then, we may suppose came to
to this country to avoid starvation. lie came here
a stranger. Our government took him in and
made him as one of the family. All his interests
in person and property were cared for and protect
ed. It is true that Rev. Doyle went into the ser
vice and fought for his country as every good citi
zen should do. But if so, has not the government
paid him every dollar for his services, and perhaps
he never made more money in the same length of
time in his life. In addition to this if he had
been in any way disabled either by ball or loss of
health while in the service, he would recieve a
pension for such disability, so long as such disa
bility might continue. Now we ask the intelligent
reader, in view of all these benefits, and we may
say blessings, received by Rev. Doyle from our
government, is it not very ungrateful for him to
try to steal away the hearts of the people from this
government that has done so much for him ? Is
there not a striking similarity between his conduct
and that of the rebellious Absalom? We imagine
as Rev. Doyle goes out on the street and meets a
man we can hear him say to him, "what party do
you belong to," he says, "I belong to the Green
back party" then he takes him by the hand, and
says, "do you not see the way the government is
imposing on us poor fellows? why, they are con—
cocting plans at Washington every day by which
they may "skin" the poor man ; oh, that I were
in a position that I could do something for the
poor labroing men of our country. If you can on-
ly manage to send me to Harrisburg I will see
that your interests are cared for. I will depute a
man especially to see that you have justice done."
And so he steals away the hearts of the people from
this good government. In conclusion we do not
say that Rev. Doyle will be caught up in the limbs
of an oak in his flight on the sth day of next No
vember, but we de say that he will be so badly
stabbed under the fifth rib by the ballots of true
Republicans that he will die politically never to be
resurrected. SPECTATOR.

Where to Spend the Summer.
What man with a family having once been
crowded into some small "sky parlor" in that
hottest of all known places—Saratoga—or has
been continually jostled and elbowed by the
Metropolitan throng that rolic alternately in
dust and surf at Long Branch, but that has
vowed never again to repair to summer resorts.
And yet with each returning season, comes
the query where shall we go ? Since last sea
son a new commodious and elegant Hotel has
been completed and furnished by Dr. K. V.
Pierce, in Buffalo, N. Y., at a cost of nearly
half a million dollars. No place on this con
tinent possesses more advantages for the
tourist, pleasure seeker, or those in search of
rest and relaxation from the cares of business
than this. Ist, Its accessibility. 2d, Its cool,
bracing and salubrious climate; the thermom
eter ranging in summer from 65 to 75 degrees
Fahrenheit. 3d, The attractions of the Hotel
and its environs. All these combine to render
it the most desirable resort for those in search
of relaxation and rest. Located on a bluff
overlooking the city of Buffalo, Lake Erie,
Buffalo Bay, and Niagara River as it rapidly
winds its way between island and villa to the
great Cataract just beyond, it affords one of
the finest of American scenes. Address all
tatters of inquiry to "Manager of Invalids' and
Tourists' Hotel," Buffalo, N. Y.
Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of us to overtask
our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the
eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge,
how many transgress this salutary rule. It
must be a matter of great importance to all
who do so to know how they can regain the
vigor so recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters is procurable in every
city, town and settlement in America, and it
compensates for a drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigorant
ever prescribed or advertised. Laboring men,
athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, cler
gymen, physicians, all bear testimony to its
wondrously renovating powers. It increases
the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and
counteracts the injurious effects upon the
system of exposure, sedentary habits, un
healthy or wearying avocations, or an insalu
brious climate, and is a prime alterative,
diuretic and blood depurent. [aug.2-Im.
IT Is WORTH A T RIAL.—"I was
troubled for many years with Kidney Com—
plaint, Gravel, &c. ; my blood became thin ;
I was dull and inactive ; could hardly crawl
about, and was an old worn out man all over,
and could get nothing to help me, until I got
Hop Bitters, and now I am a boy again. My
blood and kidneys are all right, and I am as
active as a man of to, although I am 72, and I
have no doubt it will do as well for others of
my age. It is worth the trial."—(Father.)
