Take Notice. The man tliat refu
ges to vote the .Democratic ticket on
Tuesday next, deliberately seeks po
litical damnation, if not another rebel
lion.
Every man that reveres and fully
appreciates the Union of these Stat?s
and loves his noighbor as himsolf,
does hiniBelf and his kindred a great
wrong if he fails to cast his voto, on
Tuesday noxt, for the nominees of the
Democratic party.
Citizens of Clearh'eld county, re
member on Tuesday next that every
nominee of the Blac k republican par
ty it pledged to negro sullVage. Thoir
nominee fur Supremo Judge, llenry
Vf. Williams, is pledged upon this
point. Hence, every one opposed to
this infamous political heresy must
VOle for llio Djmoorntio nominees.
The "loyalists" of K nun as are great
ly demoralized. They havo got negro
suffrage, female suffrage, a prohibitory
liijuor law, find a Sunday law, on
Lands; nnd upon this multiplicity of
"moral ideas" lliey have split. Tho
dose is too great. Tlio reformation
is too gigantic, unci is likely to break
the loyal machine down. All these
crnzy projects arc to bo incorporated
into their i.ew Constitution. Iflhore
were a few nioro fools in tho party
in Pennsylvania, wo would have the
fame chalice presented to our lips.
Those voters who are in favor of
paying bondholders one hundred and
twinty million dollars nnnuully for
intercut, and paying tho negro bu
reHmtus fliy millions more to raise
ntgro voters, will of course voto for
the Kaili' al nominees.
Those, however, who wish to save
llus one hundred and seventy mil
lions, and apply it to paying off tho
nulioual debt, will voto the I'omo
crntic ticket, and in this way, in a
lew years, escape the unmerciful rob
beries to which they are subjeclod, in
the shspe of taxation.
Attfntmn ! Every Democrat who,
on Tuesday next, either through neg
ligence or design, absents himself
from the polls, commits a groat wrong.
He deliberately sins against "Virtue,
Liberty and Independence," and may
thereby entail a scourgo upon his
country more terrible in its effects
than the cholera. This disease miibt
crcato more nUrm, but its ravages
would bo no more blighting to tho
industrial pursuits of the country than
radicalism has proven to be. Bank
ruptcy stares us in tho fuce, and we
may stay its progress by turning out
those who daily rob the people, and
put in their stead the "old Union
savers."
"Loyal Ntumrtrriug."
Loyaty in this country assumes asj
many hues as the rainbow, and boasts j
as vehemently of virtue and honesty
as any female fishmonger. Wo pro
poso to introduco to our readers two
well known characters, by way of
illustration, the first a first-class "loy
alist," and tho other a "Copperhead."
It is aid that John Doo sold 82,000
gold whun it wuh C-2.50, and thereby
realized fiat, thousand dolLirs in green
backs; ho took theso greenbacks and
bought of Mr. Chaso a 85,000 5-20
Uuitud Statos bond, bearing gold in
terest, which yicds him now, with
gold at f 1.45, four hundred and twenty-
fivt dollars, boing about TWENTY-
ONE pur cont. on his original invest
ment, and no taxes to pay.
Kichurd Roe also had f 2,000 in gold,
and about tho time Mr. lou invested
in untaxed bonds, he purchased a
small farm with his gold. After tho
greenback mill got fully under way,
Mr. Roe's farm began to rise in value,
and tho assessor came to tho conclu
sion that it was worth 85,000 too ; an
down it wont on his duplicate. In
about four months the collector camo
around for tho tax. lie called at Mr.
Doc's, but, upon examination, found
he was only taxed for a small house,
and lot, which amounted to but 8-5. 50.
He next passed to Mr. Roe's, and upon
opening his duplicate, found him taxed
with a farm valuod at 85,000 as fol
lows: county tax. 850; bounty, 8100;
relief, ?20; road, 850; school, 10;
State, 815 total, 8315.
Thus it will be seen that while tho
farmer, Richard Roo, paid three hun
dred and fifteen dollars, to sustain the
government, John Doo, the loyal bond
holder, was hammering at the Treasury
door every six mouths for his interest,
and actually noiuiKD tho government,
in tho "hour of its extremity," tit four
hundred and twenty dollars annually.
W ho, we ask, is tho patriot? Mr. Doo,
who is robbing his country annually
of tiventy-one per cont, or Mr. Roo, who
contributes sixteen per cent, to its
support ?
It is evident, from this viow cf tho
case, that somebody's patriotism is a
little liko tho Yankco vomnn's religion :
"It will do to livo by, but it would bo
of doubtful utility for dying purposes."
What wo havo bore set forth is daily
transpiring- in every neighborhood.
Whoncver you hear a mnn boast of
his support of tho government, and
roundly abusing rebels and copper
heads, set him down as ono of the
tribo who aro daily robbing tho Trea
sury at -the rate of twenty-one per
cent, per annum. Taxation, at tho
rata of sixteen per cent, for farmers,
mechanics and luboring men ; and in
terest, at the rate of twenty-one per
cent., and no taxes, for tho loyal bond
holders! That is tho way tho present
' loyal" party administer affairs rob
with both hands, and render them
selves hoarso in declaiming against
"copperheads." Wo hope tho peoplo
will soon got their eyes open.
IVi II Hrpri.fiifion T
On tho 17th day vt July, 101, an
art was passed authorizing a "nation
al loan and for other purposes," and
acting under the provisions of that
law rtho subscription agent of tho
eovornment issued jtroimsnls for the
Now National Loan, bearing interest
at tho rate of seven ami Ihroo-tonlhs
per ion t. pur annum. Tho annoiincu
mont wus made that "pursuant to in
structions form tho Secretary of tho
Treasury ," theso evideucos of indebt
edness should bu in tho shape of notes
redeemable at the end of threo years
in gold, und that tho inlercbt would
bo puyablo semi-annually, at the
Mint, also in gold. Holders had tho
option at tho timo thoir bonds ma
tured, of converting them into six
per cont. gol bearing bonds, having
twenty years to run. This was a
plain contract, and theso seven-thirties,
as thoy were styled, wero tho
lirst application mado by tho govern
ment to the people fur a loan. For
two and a hull' years tho interest was
promptly paid in gold. Hut at the
ditto of maturity, in 101, pyamont of
the principal was declined, and also
of the interest remaining duo on the
same, except on condition that the
principal would bo taken in legal
lenuer nutn, tueu nv b uifeuuui ui
from fitly to sixty porceut., as com
pared with gold. An application to
tho Treasury Department for redress
was cavalierly responded to (despite
the solemnly pledged faith of tho na
tion) by tho Assistant Secretary, who
said that these seven-thirties wero
" considered on a parity with all the
" temporary loans of tho govornmont,
" all of w hich it has boon the settled
" custom of this Department to pay in
" in lawful money."
This is a plain statement of tho
facts, and wo give them without noto
or comment. We leave off as we bo
gan, with tho query, "Wus it Repudi
ation?" and if tho answer is in tho
answer is in- the afllnnativo, as tliia
was done under Radical rulo, "Who
aro tho repudiutors?" Age,

William Johnston, of Altoona, who
was convicted in tbo U. S. Court at
Pittsburg, several months ago, for
doaling in counterfeit money, has
been sent to tho Penitentiary for sev
en years. Ho is now 65 years of ago,
surrounded by a largo, respectable
and influential circle of kinsmen. To
end tho "winter of lifo" in tho Peni
tentiary is truly horrible ; but such
is the fa to of violators of the law.
VtAS Mr. R. G. Horton, one of
the editors and proprietors of the
cw Tork Day Book, died at Dobb's
Ferry, near that city, of congestion of
tho lungs, on tho 22d. His death was
sadden and unexpected. Many of
our readers aro familiar with tho
writings of Mr. Horton. Ho was an
eariicet llemocral, and in bis writings
and through the columns of tbo Ihy
Book, was perhs) ahead of all his
competitors in fighting the battles of
Democracy. In addition to hisedito
rinl labors, Mr Horton was the author
of iwveral publications a "Lifo of
James Buchanan," a "History of the
Tammany Society," and a "Youths
History of the Great Civil War,"
which has had such a large circula
tion. Ho was also an active aud
roulou member of tho Slate Right

What Stupidity,
Some pooplc have a profound respect
for tho operators of tho money mar
ket, and fancy that they aro tho
shrewdest of all political calculators.
This notion may bo well founded, as
repards political events in the Old
World, for governments are thore
confined to such fow hands, and tho
intrigue, and influence of individuals
aro so important, that a moneyed
class, who aro largoly interested in
tho results, may tako especial means
to ptisl themselves. But it is not on
ly uutruo as regards this country,
whero tho masses rulo, but, on tho
contrary, the moneyed classscs, or, at
all ovcnls. tho speculative interests,
aro tho least intelligent and tho least
likely of all clasces to comprehend
the potlilical future. And nover be
fore was this truth so palpable as at
tins moment. Ilia ton d holding in
toresl are fearful tlmtiif tho "rebels'
and Copperheads coi(io into power
they will repudiate the tmhliu debt,
und therefore they stand by tha "Rad
icals. It scorns to them, no doubt,
good logic ; the "rebels and Copper
heads, that is, tne south umtcl Willi
northern Uemocracv, cutting into
lower, will rcstoro the constitutional
union, thut for which half a million
ofnortheners are supposed to have
died, and such restoration naturally
involves mo rcpuiuuiinii ana oblitera
tion of all that tho "Radicals' havo
done for tho past seven years. And
to prevent this tho bondholders and
tho Mongrels aro so utterly ruining
tho country, that it must become as
incHpr,b!o of paying anything what
ever, as Mexico, Central Amorica, Ja
maica, as all tha countries south of
us, from exactly tbo samo causes.
What blind and miserable fools I Tho
"rebels" und Copperheads in powor
will restore the grand old Union, with
it magnificent prosperity, ami give
8(11110 chance at nil events to pay tho
debt, or a portion of it; but if the
bondholders persist in supporting the
madmen iu power, they must loose all
of course, for tho county itself must
bo ruined. Day Book.
