A'careful examination of the political, situation in Pennsylvania enables us to speak to-clay ,of the prospects of a Demo cratic and Conservative victory in this we neverheforcfelliu any Gubernatorial can vass. Information from nearly every Cjoimty in the State, furnishes us with the means of talking plainly upon this cheer ing topic. Everywhere the Democratic party is thoroughly aroused. Itwas never more enthusiastic. It never worked with more zeal and energy. There is not an election district which shows any luke warmnessor lethargy in the good old cause. Erom the Delaware to the Alleghenies, from the Maryland line to the New York border, hut one spirit animates our politi cal .brethren, and there is not-a single break in the advancing column. Where ever our candidate goes, ho is received by thousands of freemen who have devoted themselves with a singleness of purpose to the great work before us. Hiester Cly mcr is recognized as the live champion of Union, Restoration and Constitutional Liberty. His private character is with out spot or blemish. His political record is pure and stainless. His earnest olo; qucnce and commanding talents are at tracting to his banner thousands who never before voted the Democratic ticket, and who have now resolved to cast their ballots for the first time for a Democratic candidate. The people want a pure and honest man, as well us an able and ac complished statesman, at the head of af fairs in the old Keystone, and, viewing tile two candidates and the two platforms, they are laboring with unparalleled en 'orgy to promote the success of those prin ciples whose triumph will assuredly bring ■ peace and prosperity to this distracted na tion. it is well that every' patriot should work unceasingly until the great battle is fought and won. No true man should be idle.— There are issues involved in this contest which should nerve every one to the task before him. Wo speak earnestly to-day. Hear us for our cause! Ho not leta vote be lost. If the full Democratic strength is polled, the victory is as certain as that light follows darkness. This fact is well understood by our opponents, and they are endeavoring to counteract its effect by all the arts and machinations they can bring to bear upon the contest. They are. Dr-Gov. Wm. Jliylcr, “ 4. “ 4. 5. W. KENNEDY, Chairman. In this crisis of our couh try’s history, manufacturing the grossest slanders against the Democratic nominees. They are putting words into the mouth of Gen eral Grant that he never used, and, not withstanding his fearful rebuke to the Itadlcal managers, they are attempting, by the most wilful falsehoods, to make the people believe ho is in favor of the negro suffrage candidate. To our breth ren, everywhere, we say to-day, be of good cheer! The day of your redemption draweth nigh ! All you have to do is to work for the victory now within your grasp. Union men of Pennsylvania! your duty is plain. The prize is yours, if you labor to deserve it. The whole lesson lies in a single word—work! work! work! THE COUNTY. Last year the Democratic vote was not fully polled in any of the districts of this county. It has been reliably ascertained that at least three hundred Democratic voters remained at homo. On the other hand, our opponents polled their full vote, as a comparison with the returns of pre vious elections will clearly demonstrate. As it was we had an average majority of four hundred and fifty votes. Had our entire Democratic vote been cast, our ma jority would have been seven hundred and fifty. A careful canvass of the coun ty shows that there will be a change in our favor of nearly three hundred votes, which will incrousc our majority to'fully, one thousand. All that is wanting to do this is to got out the Democratic vote.— Some of our election districts are exten sive in territory, and many of their vo ters reside at great distances from the polls. These voters must be got to the election. Those who cannot provide con veyances for themselves should be as sisted by their neighbors. Let our friends see to it that every Democratic vote in their several districts is polled. Bring out the aged and feeble; attend to the hike warm and the doubtful. Let us work with all tlie energy wo possess from this day until the polls close on Tuesday next, and if there is any certainty in human calculation, wo give our friends the posi tive assurance that we will roll up the largest Democratic majority ever given in Cumberland county. STREP FOR ACTION! Democrats! Conservatives! On TUES DAY NEXT J-ou have a duty to perform. For four or five years past wc have sub mitted to the insults, persecutions, and brutalities of a set of men who were trai tors at heart and robbers of the Govern ment. There arc no bayonets this year to menace us, and we must have a free ballot or a free fight. Strip for action, Demo crats and Conservatives. Bn ready! Use no violence, if you can avoid it, but permit no one to molest or insult you. — Challenge at the polls, every doubtful ve nter, and permit no fraudulent vote .to bo put In the box. Do your whole duty—as sert your rights—and, at all hazards, pre vent the disunionists from practicing frauds or any kind of rascality. ARB YOU READY. DEMOCRATS ! Tuesday next is the election 1 There is yet much to bo done! Appoint your election committees. Get ready to man the polls 1 Make your ar rangements to get out every vote. Let every man have his particular duty as signed him, and in order to have this done, let the working Democrats of each elec tion district meet together and appoint the“rightmanfor the right place.” Don’t delay this day 1 Have the polls properly manned on Election-day 1 See that there is no cheating 1 Attend to the doubtful and wavering ! Appoints chal lenger for every poll! Clear tho decks and strip for action !! CL YMBB AND TUB UNION! Now, honestly, is not the issue between Gi.ymek and Geary just this : Shall the Union be restored, or shall the Southern States be kept out of the Union till they agree’to the degrading condition of Ne gro Suffrage? No one will deny that this-is the issue. How, then, can any Union mhu vote for Geary? The Wretch Brownlotv. “Parson Brown low,” of Tennessee, the infamous man who squats like a venemous toad in the Governor’s chair pf that once proud State—a position oli •tained through the potent influenct of 'bayonets—was the big gun of the recent mulatto Convention at Philadelphia.— He occupied that portion of the platform that was fitted up expressly for the “distinguished men” of the rump as semblage, and Gen. Geary, Fred. Douglass, the negro, and Anna Dick inson, the unsoxed woman, sat by his side. This old sinner made a speech to the Convention, the pith of which is embraced in the following extract. — Brownlow said: “ I am the advocate of negro sulftago and of Impartial suffrage. [Great applause, Including “ three cheers for-Brownlow.”] I would sooner bo elected to any office under heaven by loyal negroes than by disloyal white men. [Applause.] 1 would sooner associate in private life with a loyal negro than ii disloyal white man, I would sooner be buried In a negro graveyard than in a rebel graveyard, [Applause.] If I have after death to go either to hell or to heaven, I shall prevor to go.with loyal negroes to hell than with disloyal men to heaven.” Infamous as were these sentiments, they were applauded to the echo by the Radical Jacobins composing the pie-bald meeting. Fred. Douglas yelled with delight; Anna Dickinson danced a jig on the platform, and finally embrac ed Douglas, amid the cheers of the as sembled traitors present. What a spec tacle I Now, what Brownlow means by a “disloyal man,” is one who disagrees with him politically. Say to this old brute that yon cannot consent to negro equality, and have doubts about the propriety of conferring the right of suf frage on the negro, and you are at once classed as a “disloyal man” by the leather-colored “parson.” He would rather go to hell with a negro than to heaven with a white man who is not in favor of negro-equality I Will decent men—men of morality and honor—sup port a party whoso chosen leaders utter such profane and revolting language ? We will see. Geaby, be it remember ed, stood by the side of Bbownxow when he made his speech, and after he had concluded, he joined in the cheers for the sentiments uttered! Think of these things, moral men, and then vote. The Approaching Great Coun ty Meeting. We publish again this morning the call for a mass meeting of the Democracy of old Mother Cumberland to be held on Saturday next, the 6th day of October. This will be the last opportunity the Democracy will have of assembling in council before the election, and the de- monstration should be slnich an one as to strike terror into the hearts of the disnn ionists who are scheming to keep the gov ern ment out of the bands of the people, and to perpetuate their power by the en dowment of the negro, their natural ally, with the right of suffrage, and further with theluxury of living in idleness at the expense of the white laborers of the coun try, who under the present burdensome system of taxation must, toil and sweat throughout every weary day of the year to keep their wives and chidren from starvation. We call upon all good men who care for the future of their country, and who have proud spirit enough to vindicate the dig nity of their race, to turn out in their might, and let this last volley go home to the hearts of the recreant enemies- of the Union and scatter their cohorts of treason and fanaticism to the, four winds. Let every man throughout the county who has a team, come and bring his neigh bors with him. There are good patriots enough to come if the facilities for getting here arc furnished them, and the com mittees appointed to make arrangements In the several townships will be held re sponsible if there should be default in this respect., So far as the toWn is concerned there can be no apology for the absence of any one who pretends to have a heart in this cause ; every Democrat and Conservative can spare half a day for his country, and the people will listen to no lame excuses. Let one and all turn out, and the tri umphal procession will be such an one as has never been known in our goodly town before. VOTERS REMEMBER! That the constitutional amendment, ad vocated by, the disunionists, makes the negro a citizen and denies the States the right to abridge their privileges or IMMUNITIES. This gives them the right to vote. Horace Manyard, delegate to their Con vention in Philadelphia said: “And I tell you, gentlemen, that in a short time all this complaint about negro equality will be done away with ; in a short time he will marry and intermarry in your families. It is a little objectionable to day, but you will soon get over, this, and the persecuted,negro will bo welcomed in your parlors. This will be the result of the political and social changes of the next few months.” Negroes were delegates, and made speeches in that convention. Geary says he is not prepared to deny the right to vote to!the colored man. Remember.this, and vote them down! Who Caused the War ? At last this question is decided—we trust finally. The following is an extract from the speech, of Gov. Curtin, at Erie, on the 12th insttant: ‘ Slavery over had been the centre around' which they (the Democratic party) revolved.— They had kept It before the public for political purposes, and It was tho cause of their split in IsiUO, and consequent defeat. Their Split was the Cause of the lKnr,and not tho poor, passive negro.’ 1 Here we have it by the “authority of the Commonwealth.” The split in the Democratic party secured :tho success of the Republican party, and placed them in power. Hence the war. Ergo; had there been no split—had the Democrats been successful —there would have been no war! . Bright Skies. The great Conservative party, may hen-, estly congratulate itself upon its brilliant prospects. The cloud has passed away, the skies are bright. All that is now nec essary is to press the good work to its consummation. A few days yet remain in which a great amount of-good may be accomplished. See to it then, that every man is brought to the polls on Tuesday NEXT, EIESTEB CLYMEB. No purer patriot, no better man lives in this Commonwealth than Hon. Hies-, ter CiA'MER, our candidate for Governor. Look at his record as a public man! His enemies are unable to point to a single stain upon it, and they are oven constrain ed to praise his honesty as a legislator and his purity as a statesman. But how is it with his opponent, Qeu. Geary? Every body knows him to bo a mere political ad venturer, now acting with this party and then with that. He is ns illiterate as he is venal, and should he be elected his own party will be ashamed of him in less than a month’s time from his inauguration.— Mr. Ci.ymer’s record on the railroad ques tion is correct and what every friend of improvement could desire. Ho is in favor of a free railroad law and opposed to all monopolies. On the other hand, Gen. Geary has always been in the market and will always be, for it is his character to soil himself to the highest bidder.— These are plain words, but they are the truth! Choose ye, then, between these two men, and choose ye carefully and de liberately. Is JYegro Suffrage an Issue ? Thad. Stevens, who is claimed by his supporters as the leading representative Republican in Pennsylvania, said in his speech at Bedford: The great issue to he met at this election Is the question of negro rights. Ishall notdeny, but admit, that a fundamental principle of tho Re publican creed is that every being possessing an immortal soul Is equal before the law. They are notand cannot be equal in strength, height, beau ty, intellectual and moral culture, or social ac quirement ; these are accidents which must gov ern their condition according to circumstances. Butin this Republic, the same laws must and shall apply to every mortal, American, Irishman, African. German or Turk. • John W. Forney, the recognized leader of the Republican newspaper press of Pennsylvania, said in a speech made at Ridgeway on the 14th instant: The thunder storm gathering—the storm may soon break—-and the sooner the rebels accept the terms offered by Congress, the better for their guilty lives. 27 ic colored men will be clothed with Ihcir right of suffrage. John W. Geary, the Radical candidate for Governor, said in his speech at the Lochiel Iron Works near Harrisburg; WHEN THE QUESTION OF .NE GRO SUFFRAGE COMES. UP, AS IT WILL PROBABLY IN THREE OR FOUR YEARS, I SHALL BE READY TO MEET IT, AND I WILL SAY THAT I AM NOT PREPARED TO DE NY THE RIGHT OF VOTING TO THE COLORED MAN. If you hear any man deny that negro suffrage is a direct issue in the present contest in Pennsylvania, read to him the above quotations from. Stevens, Forney and Geary. They will shut him up in stanter. INFAMOUS. The following is from a speech of John W. Forney, delivered at Lackawanna, a few days since: , - “ If the Southern people do not ratify this (ne gro equalization) amendment, the war that would ensue would establish this fact—that that which has passed was but os a child’s play, or as a picnic to that which wlh come. The army that will go to the Southern country will go there to stay; it will not be an army of invasln, but an army of migration; it will not go there to revenge but to extripute. Brownlow’s remedy will indeed be tried—there will be three columns, the pne to kill, the second to burn, the third to divide the plan tations among the men that go down the second time to avenge the insulted flag of our country.— I see this sublime resolve in theglitterlng ofyour eyes, and I feel it in the throbbing of my heart— I feel It everywhere—l hear it in the trumphet voice of destiny. That we shall not prevail against these men is to expect that God Is dead.” It is not surprising, therefore, that Christian men, lovers of peace and union, are taring with abhorrence from a party, the leaders of which appear to have no other object in view than to stir up strife and rekindle the fires of civil war. Killing and Burning. On Friday evening, the 31st of August, Parson Bbownlow, the blasphemous blackguard Governor of Tennessee, made a speech from the steps of the League House in Broad streat, Philadelphia. He used the following most atrocious lan guage : ‘■But I say to you in all candor, ami with the knowledge of what I am saying, and the use that may be made of it, that if the wloked spirit of the South, the rebellious spirit, combined with the treachery and copperhendism of the North, shall bring upon this country another war, and force ymi, gentlemen, to -leave your homes and. fam ilies lo invade the South and put down a second, rebellion, I want to have something to say about the division of your forces the next time. I would divide your great army into three grand divis ions. Bet the first go armed and equipped as the laws of the army require, with small arms and artillery. Let that be the largest division and let them do (he IdUiny. Let the seond division bo armed with pine torches ami spirits of turpentine and let them do the burning. Let the third and last divisions be supplied with surveyors’ compasses ind ehatna auil we will survey out tlic land and settle it. we will llrst sell It out, pay tho expen ses of tho war with tho proceeds, and then settle it wltluneu who will honor this glorious banner.” [Great applause.] IRISHMEN! Remember, that in voting lor John W. Geary you vote for a man who took an oath to ostracise yon and yours—pledged himself to be your enemy, to prevent your voting, holding office, or enjoying any of the rights of an American citizen ; that you vote for a party that burnt your churches and murdered your country men ; that you vote for a party that, TO DAY, in the State of Missouri, imprisons your priests for preaching, your Sisters of Charity for teaching, and would, did they have the power, drive' you from your homes and work, and give your places to the negroes, who they say are yourequais la every respect. Remember these things "’lion you go to tho polls. They Shoiv Their Colors! At a Heliacal disunion meeting, held in Kelly’s district, Philadelphia, a few days ago, a flag containing only twenty six stars was carried at the head of the procession! The ton Southern States are counted out! What more do the people want to prove Abe disunion tendency of the Geary party? Why is it that these disunion traitors are permitted to run at largo? ROBERT LINCOLN, / The oldest son of the late President Lin coln, isoutspoken in favor of President Johnson. Ha says Mr.- Johnson’s re construction policy is the same his father inaugurated, and of course he is in favor of it. He says also that his mother is of the same way of thinking. Friends of the late Abraham Lincoln! —who will you follow, Robert Lincoln, or old Thad. Stevens, the bitter reviler of the late President? ■ RST' A hundred thousand dollors to er ect a Lincoln monument were subscribed in New York, but the money is supposed to have been appropriated to electioneer ing. Only Seven Millions ! For 1860, Congress/has voted nearly Seven Millions of Dollars to support the Freedman’s Bureau, as. follows: For Officers ami Expenses of Officers, 8 For Clothing and Firewood, .. ’.-N.'i-r, SA For Provisions end Medicine, . •pHswsi For Railroad ana other Fare, ’ ; ! For Asylums and School Houses, oIW.IIOU nil Total, Pennsylvania pays about .one-eight of the taxes of the country. Her share of this, for the present year, is about $851),- 000 00.

Why are the people taxed, and their Hard Earnings Taken from them, to keep up this unnecessary cloud of officers, when the whole could as well be collect ed through the State and County Officers. The National Debt Must bo Paid, and as it increases, the interest to pay, in- creases. - As debt and interest increases, Taxa tion Increases. Increase of debt to the Government means increase of toil, and increase of the hours of Labor to Poor White Men. \ It.is a question of the comfort of every boy and girl, of every wife and mother, and affects the ability of every father to provide food and raiment for his wile and children. • Congress has Increased their own pay for the last session almost Twice what it was when they were elected ; and in this item alone, Fine Hundred Thousand Dol lars. - ■ Which Will You Follow? Mr. Beecher counsels the immediate re storation of the Union. Jack Halilton opposes it. Which of these two men ought the Republicans to place the highest con fidence in? Mr. Beecher has been an anti-slavery man for thirty years. What Jack Hamilton has been may bo seen by reading the following proceedings of a meeting over which ho presided in Texas, where he still resides: At a meeting of the citizens of Travis county, assembled on the Kith of June, in the city of Aus tin, to express their approbation of the lute spir ited conduct of Hon. Preston S. Brooks, South ;Carolina, the Hon. A. J. Hamilton was called to the chair and A. J. Lott appointed secretary. On motion of AVm. Byrd, the following pream ble and resoluiions were unanimously adopted, viz.; Wiieueas, We have learned with sincere pleas ure of the prompt and merited castigation indic ted by the Hon,Preston B. Brooks, of South Caro lina, upon the person of Senator Sumner; there fore Resolved , That the Hon. Preston S. Brooks is en titled to the earnest thanks of the whole South for the energy and hearty will with which ho struck down her infamous enemy, on the spot where the honorable rulllan poured fourth, for four conscutive hours, unmerited abuse of her institutions and favorite sons. Resolved, That in testimony of our.apprcoiatlon of the patriotic conduct of Col. Brooks, wo will present to him a cane made of the toughest wood which grows on -the • soil of and which, therefore, with manifest jmopricly, should be applied with the full force of a stout Southern arm upon (he backs of.our hypocritical.and slanderous enemies. Resolved, That a committee of ten be appointed by the Chair to carry out the objects of the pre ceding resolutions. Resolved, That tho proceedings of this meeting bo published in the Austin city papers. A, J. Hamilton, CAainmm. A. J. Lott, Secretary. It happened, curiously enough, thatthe then “ hypocritical and slanderous ene mies” of the South, ’whom he was then willing to whip with the full force of his arm, are his present friends and backers. Here Is another episode in Hamilton's career, which we find in the Houston Journal : Centerville, Leon Co., Aug. 19. • Editors Journal: Seeing that you have been 1 performing “ a labor of love” for the redoubtable and Provisional Governor,-Jack- Hamilton, In justice to him and the country^every fact ami in cident tending to Illustrate his evoutful career should be placed before the public.

What becomes of the infamous falsehoods of- the Chicago Republican now ? Here is the Generals letter : ■ “No man living Is authorized to speak for. mo iri political matters. I want every man to vote according to hlsownjiulgment, without Influence from me?’ • - . u. S. Quant. Gov. Curtin and John W. For ney, wo learn, are to address the disuni ouiats at their mass meeting in this place to-morrow. Of course both will abuse the President soundly. Let it be remember ed,-however, that both these worthies,' long after President Johnson had inform ed them of the policy he iutendedto pur sue in reconstructing, the States, tendered him their support, on certain conditions. Curtin wanted a foreign mission for his pay; Forney wanted the control of the heavy appointments,- so that he might “black mail” the ollico-soekors.: The President declined to accommodate these two political gamblers, and ordered them from the White .lion.se. Hence their op. position to Andrew Johnson. What beauties are they to be sent here to tell the people how to vote ? ' ‘ - JOSySee that every Democrat votes next Tuesday. ... The Law Of The Laud.

A MAN MUST FIRST BE TIMED,CON- V If TED AND SENTENCED ns "a de serter bcloro he can be deprived-of his £(i,S 11,-150 00 right to vote. So say the Supreme Court. Road for yourselves: " ' - The act of 1806 provided for-general courts martial, and made minute and careful regulations for their organization, for the conduct of their proceedings, and for the approval or disapproval of their sentences. Subsequent acts made some changes, but they have not restrained the jurisdiction or diminished the powers of such courts. It is to sifeh a code of laws, forming a system devised for the punish ment of desertion, that the twenty-first section of the act of March 3, 1805, was added. It refers plainly to .pre-existing laws. It has the single object of increas ing the penalties, but it does not under take to change or dispense with the ma chineryprovided forpnnishing the crime. The common rules of construction de mand that it be read as if it,had been in corporated into former acts. And if it had been, if the act of 1806 and its supple ments had prescribed that the penalty for desertion or failure to report within a designated time after notice or draft (which the act of 1865 declares desertion) should bo punished, oh conviction of the same, with forfeiture of citizenship and death, or in lieu of the latter, such other punishment as by the sentence of a court martial may be inflicted, would any one contend that any portion of this punish ment could be inflicted without convic tion and sentence ? Assuredly not. And if not, so must the act of 18G5 bo construed now. It means that the forfeiture which it prescribes, like all other penalties for desertion, must bcjidjudgcd to the con victed person after trial by a court mar tial and sentence approved. For the con viction and sentence of such acourt there can be no substitute. They alone estab lish the guilt of the accused and fasten upon him the legal consequences. Such, wo think, is the true meaning of the act, a construction that cannot be denied to it without losing sight of all the previous legislation respecting the same subject matter, no part of which does this act pro fess to alter.' It may be added that this construction is not only required by the universally admitted rules of statutory interpretation, hut it is in harmony witli the personal rights secured by the Constitution, and which Congress must bo presumed to have kept in view. It gives to the accus ed a trial before sworn judges, a right to challenge, an opportunity of defense, the privilege of hearing the witnesses against him, of calling witnesses in his behalf. It preserves to him the common-law pre sumption of innocence until he has been adjudged guilty, according to the forms of law. It gives finality to a single' trial. If tried by a court martial and acquitted, his innocence can never again bo called in question, and he can be made to suffer no partof theponaltics prescribed forguilt, On the other hand, if a record of convic tion by a lawful court be not a pre-requi site to suffering the penalty o( the law, the act of Congress may work Intolerable hardships. The accused will then be obliged to prove his innocence whenever the registry of the provost marshal is ad duced against him. No decision of a board of election officers will protect him against the necessity of renewing his de fense at every subsequent election, and each time with increased difficulty aris ing from the possible death or absence of witnesses. In many cases this may prove a gross wrong.. It cannot be doubted that in some instances there wore causes that prevented a return to service, or a report by persons.rogistered as deserters by provost marshals, that would have been held justifying reasons by a court martial, .or at least would have prevented an approval of the court’s sentence. It is well known, also, that some who were registered deserters were, at the time; ac tually in the .military service as volun teers, and honorably discharging their duties to the government. To hold that the act of Congress imposes upon such the necessity of proving their innocence, without any conviction of guilt, would be an unreasonable construction of the act, and would be attributing to the National Legislature an intention not warranted by the language and connection of the enactment. It follows that the judgment' of the Court below, upon the case statedj was right. The plaintiff not having been con victed of desertion 'and failure to return to the service, or to report to a jyrovost mar shal, and not having been sentenced to the penalties and forfeiture of the law, was en titled to vote.

A 3 capacious and elegantly decorated plat- % form was erected, on which were seated thirty-six Mr,young ladies arrayed in white,, emblematic of the tturty-sii St atespf the federal Union. These ytung ladies, assisted by several young gentle men, sang, with thrilling effect, the fa miliar Union song—“Bally Bound The Flag, Boys.” The Brass Band having discoursed several pieces, the immense throng was called to order and fie meeting organized by electing Join Moore, of Penn township, Pieiteit,. assisted by a number of Vice Presided! and Secretaries. The. meeting was tliw addressed by F. E. Beltzhoover,M, C, Herman and Henry Newsham, Esqra., of Carlisle, Col. James Chestnut, of Southampton, and Geo. H. Goetz, &b of Oakville.
