KENNEDY, Chairmen Dem. &ctndtnr/ Com, 'lf. B. Butler, Sac’s/. VICTORY I The knell of radicalism has sounded. — There is a great ground-swell sweeping over this State which will carry every thing in its resistless course. Our oppo nents who have so boastfully claimed the victory in advance, even in Cumberland county, are given over to despondency.— The braggarts have,ceased their clamor, the smiling and smirking enthusiasts have taken to themselves long faces ; the secret conclaves are melancholly to be hold; “ Ichabod” is written all over the radical organization of Cumberland coun ty, and of the State. From all quarters of the State come encouraging news for the Democracy. There is dissension and division in all the radical strongholds.— Philadelphia, Lancaster and Allegheny will lose thousands to the radical cause. While Berks and Montgomery and North ampton and Lehigh and Westmoreland and Cumberland will exceed their Demo cratic majorities of 1863 and 1804. There Is victory ahead of us—certain, trium phant victory—all that is necessary is the courage and energy to march forward and meet it. One and all then to their posts, and a glorious triumph will await ijs, so surely as the sun rises on the sec ond Tuesday Qf October, The raclicnliclisunionk'-te are very lluich troubled because pf the position occupied by Gen. Grant. Hj.s reticence ou polit ical questions, after all their fulsome ad ulation, isq, damper upon their feelings and hopes, it is well known that the General, in common with all the mem bers of his family and all army officers who have a record worth mentioning, is warmly in favor of the restoration policy which was commenced by President Lin coln and is being carried out by Presi dent Johnson. His every act and con versation prove that lie occupies this po sition. Ho is no politician, however, and studiously, and very properly, re frains from political discussions. He de sires the success of the Pres dent’s policy, because he considers it wise and patriotic, and calculated to unite the country and bring pence and happiness to the whole people. But the radicals arc restless, and are de termined to place Gen. Grant in a false position. Notwithstanding his protests to the contrary,' they are attempting to make it appear Unit the hero of the wal ls going about the country whispering on every occasion that is offered. Tlieir last effort to place Gen. Grant in this position, is as unblushing as it is mean and contemptible. The Chicago Republican, one of the most infamous papers in the United States —a paper pub lished by a protege of Horace Gueely, and which openly and without reserve, even to the in termarriage of whites and blacks—this shameless disunion sheet has hatched up a story which purports to emanate from its reporter who accompanied the Presi dential party during its late western ex cursion, to the effect that Gen. Grant confided certain-political opinions to this little whiffet of a reporter, which if true, would stamp the General as a miserable dissembler, occupying the position of spy and eavesdropper in the Presidential household. This protended conversation between Gen. Grant and the reporter of the Chicago Republican, represents the General to have remarked that he did not wish to “identify himself with any po litical party;” “that,” in his opinion, “ar my officers should not interfere in poli tics;” that “ the army was not a place for a politician,” Ac. So far, the story, looks plausible. But the reporter goes on to say that immedi ately after the General had thus express ed himself, he proceeded to discuss poli tics and politicians at some length, and in the dignified style of the radical slang whangers of the day. He, (the General,) is made to say that he had “ been much annoyed at the use which had been made of his name by John Hogan and others, who, had presumed to state that h (Grant) was politically with the Presi dent;” that he “ felt that it was an insult to any loyal man to ask him to vote for any candidate who was not loyal in 1861.” t^TKR, of “ For Southern men he could make allowances and he could ride through the South and get out on n platform and shake hands in friendship with such men us Lee, Johnston or Forrest, because, though they had been almost educated into se cession, they were now truly honest and loyal in their adherence to the Union, and were seek ing to strengthen it. But he did not feel in that way towards Northern men who had once been disloyal, and neither desired to associate with them nor have them for his friends. No such men should have his support, nor ought they to be supported by Mr. Johnson’s friends through out the NorlhornStates. lie particularly instan ced, as a specimen of this objectionable class of men, HiosterClymer. the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, saying that to ask any soldier fovote for such a man, oral one time known disloyalty, againstanother who hud serv ed four years in the Union army, with credit to himself and henellt to his country, was a gross insult," Ac. Now, wo feel justified in pronouncing the above one of the most unmitigated falsehoods ever conceived in the prolific brain of a radical newsmonger. It isa lie from the whole cloth, and the writer of it deserves to have his oars cropped. To thus represent Gen. Grant, as attempt ing to insult and malign the candidate of a great party for Governor, after he had said he was “ no politician,” is an outrage that even the Chicago Republican should he ashamed to countenance. Evidently the story was intended for the political market of Pennsylvania. It was intend ed io injure the prospects of Hiesteb Clymbr and prop up the disunion can didate, no-prefix Geary. Had Gen. Grant a vote in Pennsylvania, Hiestkr Clymer would yet that vote. We speak with acknowledge of the fact when we make this assertion. Gen. Grant and all the Grants are with the President, and desire the success of the President’s friends ; those friends, the President him self lias said, are the men who sustain his policy. No man in our State is re ceived with more cordiality by Gen. Grant than is Pliester Clymer. This wc know to he the fact. To attempt to make it appear that Grant stigmatized Mr. Clymer as a 11 disloyal man,” is, we repeat, a lie as infamous as the heart was wicked that concocted it. Grant is a gentleman, and never uses this kind of language toward any man. Notwith standing the contempt he feels for Ste yens, and Sumner and Wade and their fellow-conspirators, ho does not even speak disrespectfully of than. Should they, however, go on with their threats of violence, and got up another war, Grant will very speedily convince them on what side of the question he will be found. He stands to-day side by side with the President, and will put these Northern traitors down in as short order as he did Southern rebels. Mark it. “ 29. OCT. 1, “ 2. “ 5. This tried veteran—the oldest officer in the American army—a man who bears scars on his person from wounds received in the war of 1812—the “ Ney” of the Mexican war—this old patriot was tem porary Chairman of the Cleveland Sol diers’ Convention—a Con vention numbering some 5,000 braves. On taking the chair Gen. Wool made a speech. This speech we publish in to day’s Volunteer, and we ask our leaders —and particularly our Republican read ers—to peruse it carefully. After doing so, if they continue to support the cause of the Radical-disunionists, it will be evi dence that they care more for party than they do for their country. Read it, one and all, and ponder well the words of the old war-horse. In a day or two we will commence printing the Democratic tickets. As this is a heavy and expensive job, we hope the Democratic candidates will come for ward at once and pay their proportion of the expense, and also make arrangements for the distribution of the tickets in the various towns and townships. uen, ami Politics. OLD GENERAL WOOL. TICKETS I IN' INFAMOUS S*VJNt>LE. (The greatest swindle that ever was at tempted to be played off on an honest people, was the meeting of the so-called “ Southern loyalists,” that recently as sembled in Philadelphia. Forney and other desperate political gamblers tried to make it appear that this meeting, which adopted resolutions nskmg for ne gro-suffrage and negro-equality, was composed of Southern gentlemen. The proceedings of the mongrel assemblage gave the lie to this assertion, for it is not to bo supposed that Southern men would ask for their own debasement, or peti tion to Thad Stevens for permission to be considered the equals of the emancipa ted negroes they formerly owned. • No, no—the fraud was too glaring—too trans parent to deceive even the most ignorant. It now appears that ninety-nine of eve ry hundred of the men composing the mulatto Convention, were New England men—bummers, suttlers, chaplains, and pedlors of ginger-bread and candies in the rear of the army during its march through the Southern States. Some of them had been members of Beast But ler’s baud of “loyal thieves” at New Orleans, and others had been attached to Banks’ Red river cotton-stealing expedi tion. ' These were the' “ Southern loyal ists” who met in Philadelphia, and asked for negro-suffrage ; these wore the crea tures who shouted themselves hoarse when “ no-preflx Geary” of this State, and Fred Douglass, the negro, of Mas sachusetts, were invited to occupy seats in that part of the platform that had been cushioned and decorated with flags for the accommodation of “distinguished men.” These- were the men \yho huz zaed when the unblushing and unsexed Annie E. Dickinson embraced the ne gro Douglass before the whole audience, and who cheered lustily when that wick ed villain, Brownlow of Tenn., remark ed in his speech that lie “ would rather occupy hell in company with negroes than heaven in company with disloyal men.” Aye, these were the men who dared to meet in Philadelphia, and to pass resolutions endorsing the rump Con gress, negro-suffrage and equality. What a farce —what unmitigated impudence and scoundrelism ! One of the delegates to that Convention is already in the pen itentiary, and if justice could be meeted out to them, two-thirds of the whole con cern would be in the same fix. THE SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS* CONVEN- TION AT CLEVELAND Must have been a grand old affair. Near ly al 1 the distinguished officers of the army and navy were there in person or wrote letters to the Convention. Thank God ! the army and natty are riyhl. Let tire Radical disunionists take heed ; they may go to far! That old incorrigible .scoundrel and brute “ Governor” Bkownlow, of Tenn., informed theiate mulatto-disunion Convention at Philadelxjhia, that he in tended to arm and organize into regi ments, the negroes of his State, and then hiss them on to violence. He said ho wanted another war. He would assist he said to organize and equip an immense army, two-thirds of it to be composed of “ glorious blacks.” He would divide this army into three parts or divisions. Di vision No. 1, would take the lead into the South "and do the killing;” division No. 2, would be provided with turpentine, camphene and pitch, “ and do the burn ing;” and division No. 3, would be pro vided with surveyors instruments, and “survey and divide the lands equally among the loyal colored men.” Such is Bhowni.ow’s programme for exterminat ing the men, women and children of the South. Could an Incarnate fiend devise a more complete plan ? And yet those attrociousand wicked sentiments, uttered by the wretch Bbowndow In the Phila delphia mulatto Convention, were cheer ed and applauded to the echo! But, in commencing this article we did not intend to speak particularly of Brownlow and the Convention of trai tors and Government swindlers that met in Philadelphia a couple weeks since.— We were speaking of the Soldiers and Sailors Cleveland Convention. A corres pondent writing from the Convention on the first day of its session, says: Among the brave men in attendance, I may mention such old war horses as Major General John i£. Wool, the hero of three wars; Mnj. Gen eral Gordon Granger, Grant’s right hand leader in Tennessee; Major General Thomas L. Criten den, Major General Lovell H. Rosseau, Major General A. MoD. McCook, who commanded the left wing of the army of General Rosocrans; Maj. Gen. Hobson, who chased the rebel General John Morgan from Ohio; Major General Geo. A. Cus tar, the “Ney”of the Army of the Potomac; Maj or General Thomas iSwing, Major General Denver, Major General Stoedman, Maj. General Heath Major General Meredith, Generals Monroe, Nelf, McGroartv (one of the Fenian leaders), Eslo, O. Dowd, Parkhurst, Loomis, Morgan L. and Kilby Smith, Parsons, Brown, Roberts, Slack, Rogers Kise, Hamilton, Mott, Heckman, Penrose. Ward, and thousands of line and stall'olllcers, privates, Ac. • It was a grand sight to sec these battle-scarred veterans enter the immense pavilion erected for the Convention. As Wool, McCook, Custar, llos seau. and the more noted of the Generals enter ed, cheer after cheer, with waving of handker chiefs and tumultuous yells, were given. GENERAL THOMAS EWING, We publish to-day an abstract of the speech delivered by Major-General Thom asEwinq, jr., at the Soldiers and Sailors Convention at Cleveland. Gen. Ewing is and always lias been a decided Repub lican in politics. He is a son of the Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, a man known to the whole country as an oppo nent of the Democratic party, and the confidential friend of the late President Lincoln. Gen. Ewino, we repeat, has been a Republican ever since the organi zation of that party, but lie is no disun ion ist. Having taken an active part to put down the rebellion, he considers the Union restored. Of course, like all other distinguished officers of the array and na vy, he is with President Johnson heart ily, and just as heartily against the Radi cal disunionists. Let our Republican friends give ear to the words of the son of Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, the old Repub lican war-horse who had the confidence of Mr. Lincoln. Truly, the “ earth quake” spoken of by Thad. Stevens, is coming. Stand from under, all who have no desire to bo hurt! REAR AU.VIRAL FARRAOUT wrote a letter to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention, at Cleveland, endorsing its objects. He says Andrew Johnson is right, and the Radicals wrong. Like Grant, he wants peace, and insists'that the Union has been restored. He depre cates the insane and treasonable plottings of the Radicals, and calls upon his coun trymen to put down the men who dare to strike ten stars from the American flag. Freemen I—can1 —can you, will you disregard he words of Farragut ? ASItMUN SPEAKS! At the great Democratic and Conser vative meeting held in the city of New York, on the 17th inst. —a meeting num bering, it is stated, one hundred thous and —tlio following letter from George Ashmen, of Massachusetts, was read. Mr. Ashmen, it will be remem bered, was President of the first Nation al Convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln, atChicago, in 18G0. Ho is with President Johnson, heart and soul. — Hon. Henry J. Raymond, the author of the address and resolutions at the Balti more National Convention, that re-nom inated Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency, was at the meeting, and made a power ful speech in defence of President John son and his policy. The fact is, all the sincere friends of Lincoln are with Pres ident Johnson in his efforts to rescue the country from the sacrilegious hands of the infidels who are attempting to strand the ship of State - Read the letter of. Mr. Ashmun, the great friend of Mr; Lincoln, and then, people of Pennsylvania, ask yourselves the question, “who will w T e follow—AsH mun, the pure patriot, or Stevens, the author of the Buckshot war ?” Here is Ashmen’s letter: LETTER OF lION. GEOROE ASIIMUN, OF MASS. Springfield, Mass., September 10. Gentlemen: Concurring, as I most heartily do, in the purposes of your proposed meeting in New York, on the 17th of this month, I am nev ertheless compelled to say, in reply to your invi tation to be present, that my engagements will not allow me to comply with your request. You propose “ to respond to the action of the Union Convention at Philadelphia,” and lam sure that New York will return a most hearty re sponse In affirmation and approbation of that ac tion. The honor of New York, as well as the in telligence of its people, and Its interests in a re stored integrity or our Union, all combine to give assurance of such a result, both at your pre liminary popular gatherings, and at the final adjustment at the elections which are to follow. I am glad to see this assurance strengthened by the united, earnest action of gentlemen all over your Stale, as well.as on ‘your committee, who have heretofore been widely separated upon by gone party issues, which the march of time and events has trampled oat of sight and out ol exis tence. And this assurance is not weakened by the fact that the path along which you propose to tread is illuminated by the great heart and great intellect of a son of your own State, who lias done and suffered more than'any living man for the cause of human rights and constitutional government, and whose successful labors in keep ing tho peace of the world, at a time when the b:.d passions of some of our own people, and the worse tendencies of foreign governments, seem ed ready to plunge us into a general conflagra tion, gives him the highest title to beckon us on ward • where he leads it Is safe at least to follow. And it would bo shameful, indeed, if now hts own State, should falter and fail for lack of faith in his fidelity ! I will not believe it. And sure ly in New York the name of Mr, Seward should boa protection, if any were needed, against the foul imputations upon the motives of tho Presi dent of tho United States in his efforts for an Im mediate and safe restorat ion of the Union of the Stales. I k iow Mr. Johnsou well. He Is honest, saga cious, true, anil firm, and all such imputations upon his motives are most unjust. I know too, that, ho la faithfully following the same line of generous and far-seeing policy which guided Mr. Lincoln up to the hour of his death, and I can not bo brought to doubt either its expediency or its justice. Certainly no higher or holler motive for action, In a public servant, can bo suggested, than that of a desire for the immediate restora tion to friendly relations of those parts of our country Which have been alienated. The war, followed by a solid and lasting peace, may, after all, prove a blessing. But a hollow truce, out of which tlery passions and unscrupulous personal ambitions seek to make profitable harvest, can not bo anything but a curse. Restoration, upon the basis of mutual interests and mutual honor, promises everything which an honest heart can desire; and the resolutions of the Union Conven tion at Philadelphia, solemnly made and acce ded to by Southern representatives of high per sonal character and position, give us all the “guarantees for the future” which can be asked or wanted. Vengeance, hatred, heart-burnings and 111 blood can be stimulated by high-sound ing words of crimination and savage threats ol a re-opened war; but if wo desire a restored com merce between the alienated Stales, a restored credit for our national currency, restored pros-' perity to the Industry of every part of our great country and a renewed and Increased power to present ap undivided and unbroken front upon national questions toward the rest of the world, let us at once, without hesitation or reluctance, extend to the Southerh State* the most precious political right of a Constitutional Government— the right of representation, and-thus make our Union “ Now and forever, one and Indivisible,” The issue, and the only issue for trial by the people to-day, is as to this right of xepreseuta tlon. Other questions are started by aarolt par tisan managers who seek to distract attention from the great and vital one. But all others should be subordinated to this one of representa tion Shall the Southern States bo treated by us as conquerors would deal with conquered territo ry, or should they bo recognized os States of the Union, with equal and unquestioned rights of representation in Congress?. In other words, shall we have Union or disunion 7 Let that issue bo kept broadly and fully ih the public mind, and we may safely await the final judgment of the people. The passions of the hour inay, and undoubtedly will, in some parts of our country have sway for a while; but the final judgment will be against faction and for the Union. Respectfully yours, George Ashmun. Messrs. Blatchford and others, Committee, &c., «tc. GEN. FREMONT, The Republican candidate for Presi dent in 185 G, and who, during the rebel lion was the idol of the Republicans, is a strenuous friend of Andrew Johnson, and endorses his policy in toto. He was a delegate to the monster Soldiers and Sailors Convention that assembled at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 17th inst.—a Con vention composed ofthe very flower of the army and navy, and embracing in its list of delegates nearly every man of note belonging to either branch. Fremont, wo say, was there, to assist to save the Union from the clutches of the infernal disunionists and arrant traitors who now menace it. Friends of Fremont ! fall into line, and help save the Union. HON. EDGAR CO IVAN. we !UI thorized to state that the Hon. Edo abco wan, Republican United States Senator, will positively attend and address the Grand Conservative Mass Meeting, to be held in Carlisle on Saturday, October Gth. This eloquent champion forthe Con stitution and the patriotic policy of the President, will not fall to attract a vast assemblage, and impart an additional im petus to tire meeting. ASSESSMENTS. <S atuiclay Sept. 29 th is the last day on which Assessments can be made. We hope our friends will attend to this im portant matter in every district in the county. Not a single vote should be left unassessed. BST The Herald says that Maj. Hai,e, the Democratic candidate for County Commissioner, “ was never in a fight in hig life.” If this be true, then he is on a par with several 11 Generals” of our counr ty that we could name. But the “ boys in blue” who were members of Hale’s regiment Kapure us that the Major did participate in several battles, and ac ted bravely. We therefore prefer to be lieve the “boys in blue” to the unsupport ed assertion of the writer for the Herald, who never saw a live rebel in his life. Ma jor Hale's record is at least as good as that of the editor of the Herald ; and it was sufficiently good, last year, to cause the leaders of the Republican party to ask him to be a candidate for Assembly on their ticket. BST The writer for the Herald affects to believe that the Volunteer has assailed him personally.. This is not true, and when ho makes that assertion he wilful ly misrepresents us. We are not in the habit of making personal assaults upon any one except in self-defense None but blackguards Indulge in this kind of argument, and no blackguard can induce us to imitate him. SOME VETERANS. The Chairman of the Democratic Stand ing Committee owes an apology to the Soldiers of Perry county. ■He was labor ing under the erroneous impression that Lewis Potter, Esq., of Bloomfield, had been a soldier in the army of the Union, and tlie aforesaid Lewis was invited to take part in the parade of the “ Boys in Blue,” at the coming Democratic Mass Meeting. It seems, however, that Mr. Potter was not only never in the army, not only never shouldered a musket In defense of the Union, but actually was drafted and bought himself clear of gov ernment service by payment of three hundred dollars. It is not at all strange that the real Soldiers of Perry county should feel indignant at being classed with such “veterans” as Potter; and we have to say that the insult was entire ly unpremeditated, as the Chairman of the Committee was misinformed in re gard to the facts. The Herald informs us that “ Mr. Pot ter qlaims, and justly too, that /oig - .yews of honorable and arduous service in the field should exempt him from such In sults, and he points to his clear record as a shield against any insinuation that, he can he cajoled Into desertion to the sideof the traitors.” Now the truth is that Pot ter’s “ four years of honorable and ar duous service” and his “clear record” amount to about as much as the military “services” and the “record” of Mr. J. M. Weakley, the editor, and Mr. A. K, Rheem, the proprietor of the Herald — and that is just nothing at all; It Is fit ting that the Herald should allude in such feeling terms to the “ honorable and ar duous services” and the “ clear record” of the heroic Potter, for they are “ vet erans" of like standing with himself.— He was drafted and paid his commuta tion, and so did they. They all belonged to the “ last man and last dollar” party ; they were alike willing to shed the last drop of somebody else’s blood and to pay their last dollar to keep out of the ar my. How indignant such stay-at-home veterans as these must have felt, when asked to join the men who did the fight ing in standing by the Union, in de fense of which these veteran home-guards were too cowardly to take up arms. Vet eran Potter, veteran Weakley and veteran Rheem, an illustrious trio of bat tle scared (not scarred) heroes! Hereaf ter let Don Quixote and Sanoho Panza take back seats, while some new Cervan tes commits to immortality the match less valor of these “ gallant Union sol diers.” The Perry Democrat , after announcing that “ Ijßwts Potter never was a soldier in any capacity, and never was near a field of battle,” thinks that “ the boys in blue in this county will doubtless be grat ified to learn that they have * a compan ion in arms' they knew not of before the j Herald referred to Potter's clear record as a soldier.” In regard for his “ honora ble and arduous services,” we are told, “ the loyal people of Perry county have honored Mr. Potter with a prominent place on the Union ticket,'' Such being the case, it is evident that 44 the loyal people of Perry county” have the highest appreci ation of “ honorable services” and 44 clear recordsand we advise the gentlemen of the Herald to emigrate thither imme diately, for their military “services” and “ records” are rather below par in this community. THE PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES. Your Attention, While Soldlcrn I The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer —good Republican authority—in his letter dated September 20, says: “ There Is no prospect of the Immediate pay ment of the bounties authorized by Congress at the late session. It Is estimated Umt about forty thousand claims areon file, with the number still Increasing at the rate of four or live hundred per day.” White soldiers, read the. above, and as you do so call to mind the/dc< that the rump Congress, in July last, voted the black soldier $3OO for extra bounty, and appropriated the money to pay for it. — The negro soldiers—some of whom had not been in the army six months, and but few of them had oven witnessed a battle, received in cash their S3OO. The same Congress voted seven millions of dollars to support the Freedman’s Bureau, and appropriated the money to pay this demand. The same Congress voted the white veterans who had served three years in the army $lOO extra bounty, but failed to appropriate any money to pay it!' Now we are told by the Republicans that “ there is no prospect of the immedi ate payment of the bounties authorized by Congress at the last session.” There is no money in the treasury to, pay the white troops; it has all been gobbled up by the colored soldiers and the Freed man’s Bureau! “ That’s what's the mat ter.” Don’t you see, gentlemen white soldiers, that it is a calamity just now not to have been born with a black skin? Geary is for Congress and the negro— he says so. Clymer is for the President and the white soldier. MORE SCREWS LOOSE! The Northampton County Journal, a very able , and well-known Republican paper, hits abandoned Geary; and taken his name from its mast-head. After read ing the proceedings of the all-wool-torch and-turpentine-Convention recently held in Philadelphia—a Convention made up of impudent blacks and women in bree ches—the editor is satisfied that negro equality is the object that Geary and his party has in view. He revolts at the idea,takes down the name of Geary, and runs up the glorious name of Clymer, “ the white man’s candidate.” Another I—The Juniata Republican, published at Mifflintown, Pa., has taken down Geary’s name from its mas-thead. Another indication of a change in public sentiment. fl®“Gen. Geary, in one of his late characteristic speeches, said he “ expec ted the opposition of skulkers and those chicken-hearted gentlemen who had paid $3OO to buy themselves clear of military duty!” Mercy, on us, general!—don’t be quite so severe, quite so personal, on our neighbors of the Herald. The Laboring Man earns his dol lar a day, by hard work. With this he supports himself, his wife- and' children. A Republican Congress does not think of voting money to support in idleness the Laboring Men of the country as It. does to vote millions of dollars to support lazy negroes! You are white, they are black} HOW THE TICKETS AR£ TO BE VOTED. Ucail This Carefully The Legislate! e, last winter, passed :i law which changes the manner of voting. All State officers voted for will be voted on one slip, labelled “State;” all county officers and members of Congress, Sena tors, and members of the Legislature vo ted for,- will be voted oil another slip, la belled “County;” and all Judges of Courts voted for, will be voted on still unotherslip, labelled “ Judiciary;” which divides the ticket, at the present election into slips, Alltickeis shouldbercady cut, folded and tied, before election-day. Let Democrats attend to this everywhere, and see that all the ticket is included in their ballot. The ticket will be printed as follows : STATE, Governor , Hicster Clymer COUNTY. Congress, A. .T. Glossbrenner, Assembly, Philip Long. Prothonotary, John P. Brindle. Clerk and Recorder, Samuel Bixler Register, Jacob Dorsheimer Commissioner, M. G. Hale. Director of Poor, John Paul. Auditor, P. G. McCoy. JUDICIARY. Associate Judges, Hugh Stuart, Thos. P. Blair. The ticket'must bo cut apart at each of the wide spaces, with the words “State,”- “County,” and “Judiciary” folded out. (Icn. <3milt I>on’t Train in a I>lHiinion Con- VClltlOll. General Grant has sent the following short and plain letter to the managers of the so-called Soldiers’ Disuniou.Conven tion which assembled at Pittsburg on the 25th, for the purpose of aiding in Geary’s election. The letter needs no comment. Bead it: ‘ Headquarters Armies of tiie-U. S., \ Washington, Sept. 18, 10G0. / To Edwin. M. Dudley, Chairman Executive Com mittee Soldiers' and Sailors' Union: Sir —Gen. Grant directs me to acknowledge the receipt of your in vitation to be present at a National Convention of Soldiers and Sailors, to bo held at Pittsburg, Pa., Sept, 21tli, 180 G, for political purposes. Ho instructs me to say that it is contrary to bis hab its and to his convictions of duty to attend politi cal meetings of any character whatsoever, and that lie secs with regret the action of any officer of the array talcing a conspicuous part in the po litical dlssensious of the day. I am. sir, very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, Adam Badeau, Colonel and A. D. c. General Grant does not train in thesame crowd with Butler, Banks and those who have been active in getting up the bogus Soldiers’ Convention. The President says he rises above party, and Grant intimates the same thing. They are both in the same line. JSQ?“ The Lancaster Intelligencer truly declares that the Radical party always legislates in favor of the rich and against the poor, and continues: 11 There is scarce ly a city in the land where the laboring white man has not felt the iron rod of their tyranny. They have thrown ob stacles in the way of his voting every where. A favorite mode of assault upon this class has been the shortening of the hours for keeping open the polls and the closing of them early in the evening. At the last session of the Pennsylvania Leg islature the Radicals passed a law com pelling the polls in Lancaster to be closed at six instead of seven o’clock. Hereto fore very many of the laboring men voted after their day’s work was done, and thus lost neither time nor wages.” The same law was made applicable to Philadelphia, with a hope of preventing the poor men from voting there. The Radical doctrine is, give the ballot to the negro—take it from the poor white man. ' If our recollection is correct during the whole time Mr. Bratton controlled the Vohtnlcci' alone, another Democratic Journal was published here which circulated more widely and had a better patronage than his paper.— Herald. “If our recollection is correct,” the above is an intentional falsehood. The Volunteer always had, as it has now,' a much larger circulation than any paper in Cumberland county. Every man hav ing a knowledge of the Carlisle papers, can testify to this. As to “ patronage,” we venture to say the Volunteer has, for the last twenty years, enjoyed a larger paying patronage than any paper in the Valley. CSTGen. Eogers, of Arkansas,'one of the “ loyal Southerners” in the Geary all wool Convention, whishes it understood, through the New York Herald , that he withdraws from that mixed gathering of shiftless, ambitious blacks and women in breeches.” He says that he has gone with that body even farther than his own views could justify, and he “washes his hands, from this time forth, of all its pro ceedings.” Too much wool for the Gen eral. “ The Negro Bears the Palm.”— The Rump Congress voted NEGRO SOLDIERS who served TWO YEARS THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS BOUNTY. The Rump Congress voted WHITE SOLDIERS who had served THREE YEARS, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS BOUNTY. fiSj-The Saddler earns his dollara day, by hard work. With this he supports himself, his wife and children. A Re publican Congress does not think of vo ting money to support in idleness the Saddlers of the country as it does to vote millions of dollars to support lazy negroes! You are white, they are black. I.ITXI.l: MONTANA. The election in Montana Territory, on the 14th iust., resulted in the election of the Democratic candidates by a majority of over 2,000. Good for Montana—the “ground swell” is coming. B@“J. A. H. Buchanan, otie of the most prominent lawyers of Greene coun ty, and for several years the leading Re publican orator of that county, is now la boring earnestly for Clyiner and the re construction policy of the President.
