The members of the People's Party are hereby requested to assemble at the usual places of holding delegate elections, on Saturday Afternoon, August 10th, and elect TWO DELEGATES from each district, who are to meet in County Con vention in Lewistown on Monday, August 12th, for the purpose of adopting such measures as may be deemed necessary for the ensuing campaign—of nomiuatinga tick et, either in whole or in part, as may be-t subserve the interests of our Cuion, the glorious banner of our country, and all measures of our government calculated to crush out treason and traitors—and of ap pointing Conferees to place in nomination a candidate for the office of President Ju'hre "f this judicial district.

Tiie Work of Treason The enormity of the Southern rebellion and the evils it will entail on both sec- tions, whether as one or two governments, will only be felt as time progresses. Here tofore duties on imports have sufficed to prevent direct taxation for government pur poses, and although State, county, and dis trict taxes were considered onerous, by too many who did not realize the blessings we enjoyed when compared with European government, all this must soon be changed as the natural result of the wicked, the hellish acts of the Southern conspirators. J>ebts will be created, taxes levied and col lected, and the general expenses increased in many ways, among others that of being prepared for war on a large scale—for now that it has been shown that a few bad men, banded together by Cataline oaths, can first destroy a national party organization, as was done at Charleston last year, and then plunge States into rebellion and an attack on the general government's for tresses, the prestige of that public opinion which so long ruled and preserved us in peace is gone, and gone, we fear, forever. Hie bullet and bayonet must now enforce the decrees of law as they do in Europe— the sword take the place of the staff of of fice. Other evils too, of a demoralizing nature, wiil follow, so that even the pres ent generation will yet startle into wonder that all good men North, South, East and W est, did not rise up in Cyclopean power at thp outset and strike down all the foul mouths tainted with treason even in the remotest degree. B£r<„ihc locofoco papers continue to trouble themselves about Harvey, who it is alleged was in correspondence with the South Carolina rebels. The poor fellows must have something to bark at in Lin coln's administration, but for all that Old Abe will do his duty without consulting -t* It would better become most of political mount banks to do penance ir former sins in upholding Havis, ■loyd, Thompson, and other trait n to talk of that of which they itliing. is said Jef Davis has an agent in ai ry county in this State ! Who is his ' in Mifflin ? - ' in Spoken Democrat.— The Doylstown •t gives President Lincoln's war mes i unqualified endorsement, and eor ..proves of the policy recommended .' -i; It utoar.-3 that after the President's .ii; i honest statement of his policy in Fort Sumter, the man who calls Lincoln war," ought to be set down a traitor or a fool. Pay of Volunteers. < 'onsiderable difficulty and detention hare occurred at Ilarrisburg in paying off the three months men, and as usual the State administration comes in for a share oi abase on the part of knave politicians The State administration hxs nothing whatever to do with the matter. We do not know all actual difficulties, but have j seen it stated the principal cause of delay was that the pay rolls were not made out according to law by those whose duty it was, and to shield themselves for their carelessness or ignorance they would ol course throw the blame on somebody else. For a day or two the specie funds had run out, but we are assured had the rolls been properly furnished, notwithstanding the large number of troop? at Ilarrisburg, the detention would not have been more than a day or two in any case. Payuias- j tors may at times be upstarts who think themselves above the rest of creation, but.j certain it is they have but one guide to go by, and that is to follow the law, as any de viation from it would be at the expense ol their own pockets. Inducement to Volunteers. A BOUNTY FOR RE-ENLISTMENT. —The inducements which the government offers for recruits are as follows : When an entire regiment re-enlists, a bounty of fifty dollars wiil be paid to ev- j cry man immediately after the re-organiza tion and mustering into service of the new regiment. When a full company offers its service and is received and sworn into service, a bounty of forty dollars are paid to each ' man. To new recruits and individual enlist- j incut, thirty dollars are paid to each man. With these great encouragements, and the still greater inducement of danger to a country and laws which we all love and respect, we expect to .see a great many reg iments organized and on their return to the scene of action in a very few days. The New Tariff As much misrepresentation is made by the self-styled democratic papers respecting i the proposed, tariff, we publish a schedule j of the leading articles as passed by the ; House. In the .Senate, the duty on coffee has been reduced to 1 cents. From this table any one can see that the actual in crease will not make sugars dearer than they were a few years ago under the boast ed democratic tariff in times of peace and with the New Orleans crop in competition. Iron lias not yet been changed. Present Tariff Now* of Articles.

AFFAIRS RECEPTION OF THE LOUA.N GUARDS. — After patiently waiting for several days, information was finally received on Mon day evening that our pioneer company would return in the early train on Tuesday, and the town at once became enlivened by the news and preparation made for their reception. At three o'clock in the morn ing the bells were rung, and in a short time the ladies, the Lewistown Band, the Slemmer Guards, most of our citizens, with hundreds of children, congregated on the public square and from thence proceeded to the railway station. On the arrival of the train, they were warmly greeted, and escorted into town iu the following order: Chief Marshal—Band and Music—Com mittee of Arrangements, Orator and Cler gy —SJetnmer Guards —34 young ladies dressed in white, with tri color rosettes and badges representing the States in the I nion, headed by a young lady dressed in red, white and blue, representing the god dess of liberty—ladies, citizens, Ac. On reaching the square the military proceeded through a portion of town, and returned to the Court House where they were wel comed in an eloquent address by the Rev. Mr. McMurray, who, at our special request, consented to furnish us with a copy: Honored Me tubers of the Logan Guards— When, on the 17th of Aprii you left us, at | the call of the Executive, in the hour of ana- j tion's peril—and such a nation as the world lias never seen—whose forts, arsenals, and custom houses had been seized ; its treasury plundered ; its time-honored flag supplanted, in one section cd' the Union, by treason's ig noble banner: its constitution, the t'reat ! charter of American liberty, reviled, broken, and thrust aside; its proud capitol menaced bv armed rebellion, and threatened with instant ruin, when, on that memorable day you left our midst, counting not your own lives as dear, to defend that nation's honor, its flag, 1 its Constitution, its capitol, there were anx ious, aching hearts that followed, and went along with you. The mother parted with her son, imprinting a mother's kiss, with glis tening tear in her eye, her heart yearning af ter him, whom, as a living son, she might never see again : so the wife a husband, sis ters a brother, children a father. All hearts i were moved, patriot hearts that beat in uni son with your own—Christian hearts which i sent up to the Great Father in Heaven an ] earnest prayer for your safe return. It was a time of danger. Our country, the i rich legacy bequeathed us by the sires and sages of the revolution, unparalleled in all j that can render a nation distinguished and blessed ; was in extreme peril. The nation's life seemed trembling in the balance. And i corresponding to the peril of the nation was j that of the brave men who rallied in her de- ! fence; and greatest peril to those who led the j van—an honor, which pertains to our noble ; " Keystone State" and the Logan Guards oj" la: If i.stow tt. Yours was not the patriotism that hides it i self away in the corner, nor that which blus ters like a demagogue, or craws like a craven; which makes nrt sacrifices, incurs no ri-k, braves no danger. Iot a> the fathers of the Revolution, reposing not on a bed of down, but by their blood and self-sacrificing toil, wrenched the set pin- from the tyi ant's band, drove buck the oppr-i'--i>r, and achieved i : us the blessings of freed on -carter ! ah >ut our feet; so, in like manner, re dining not at your own firesides but with bear's in which the patriotic fires burned as in the days which "tried men's soul.-," \ou rushed forward to the rescue; rea ly to be immolated at the shrine of the <7 ddess i Liberty, '-mbL-uia t zed here in the beautiful figure ofAt royal queen, with her thirty-four maids of 1; nor, representing the States of the Union—ready to be immolated if need be, to preserve that liberty inviolate, and the escutcheon of our nations glory untarnished. It may be gratifying to state, that in your absence, not only from the seclusion of the ] closet, around the domestic altar, and from the several pulpits of the place, tut in stated special meetings united prayers have been of- j fered to Almighty God for your personal safe J tv, as for that of the nation itself. And now, gentlemen, soldiers, we are per- • mitted to extend you a cordial greeting, and welcome your return —a safe return —not one j having fallen, not one disgraced ; your own j honor unimpe&ehed : the honor of your coun- i try's flag unsullied as committed to your j hands. That banner, too, as upborne by oth er hands as loyal and with hearts as brave, ! triumphant on every battle field, the treach erous foe fleeing from its approach, until the ! late repulse at Manassas. That terrible dis aster to your companions in arms, contending j with superior force, environed by lines of j formidable and masked batteries, after sever a! brilliant victories in desperate encounter, and great loss of life, has saddened everv loyal heart, and overspread the country with , gloom. But the end is not yet. In an une- I qual contest we have suffered loss while treas on has gathered strength by a temporary suc cess. Were the contest indeed to stop here, 1 it must of course be in the triumph of rebel- ! lion; and in less than thirty days, perhaps, j the despots and oligarchies of Europe would acknowledge the Southern Confederacy; the j United States government would soon be com- j polled to do the same ; and not only so, but succumb to its dictation, accept its own terms, be degraded in the eyes of the world, and be come an inferior power even on the American \ continent. That would be the inevitable re suit of withdrawing from the contest, under ! the present disaster. But who is prepared for such a result? With men as brave, and ; three times their number; with all the treas- ; ur'.s and sinews of war at our command; with a national prestige to vindicate; with the brightest record on the page of history to maintain ; with the blood of an heroic ances- ! try coursing through our veins; the ashes of renowned patriots speaking to us from the j grave, and the American Eagle shrieking in his distress from the air of freedom—we are not prepared for such a Lite. Not one of you, I am sure, is prepared or willing to accept it. No; the contest must go on. Manassas, the modern Sebaatopol, must be taken; and there is nc doubt it can be, and will be ; and then Richmond and Norfolk; and with the foe driven from the " Old Dominion," pursued, j until he finds an ignoble grave in the nest ! where treason was hatched. While, then, on behalf of the citizens of Lewistown, I bid you welcome—a welcome, | though expressed in words, no words are ad- ! equate to express—a welcome of hands and . a welcome of heart* — welcome t~ our midst —welcome to our homes—to y ur \vn homes —and to the embrace of 1 ved f ne* who long to greet you as they e ;nn t here in pub lic;—while we thus hid you u me lt is in the expectation that ;•.? cur c ua i try still bleeds, and your ■ uipauions are yet in the lield. and tin- danger tixne imminent, with the same he; ion. me same bravery of soul, the same patti>itic tires burn ing, and an acquired dGcipiim' for effective service, many, it not met t v u wiit return to the field of acti n, and that \ u will go multiplied in numbers. !•' --niost • ti : ■ res cue at the outbreak r 'f !'• >r:' ties, stand hy your country's flag ai d your • -jutry's cause to the last. Already have you set a most noble exam ple to the nation as ;t ; prompt ami brave d* fenders ; but then your ex uup!-.- ■vi i he en nobled a hundred laid ;h p • • f the histo rian will record it for the eye i f p. storiiy to gaze upon, ami its influence will go, down j and be felt in the ages and centuries of the coming future. Like the rocks of T iter mop ylre, which stand as memorial altars where three hundred martyrs to iir.. j-rv were immo lated. and by which succeeding generations have sworn eternal oninitv to tyranny—like rite name of Tell, w! ich shall ntv-r cease to : be the banner cry < f Switz rland until the i fires of the judgment -shall ni dt down her eternal glaziers—like the nam >s t,f Wallace and Bruce, which shall echo am mg the liigh ; lands of Scotland until the mountains rhali | melt as was at the presence of the Lord— | like Leonidas, and llegulus. and Bayard, and | Sidney, and iVashinylou, who not only put their lives in j ..partly for the salvation of their couutrv, but set an example which, if faithfully followed, would soon rid the world of its monster tyrants, and erect on every hilltop "altars flaming with the incense of freedom"—like these, your example will be felt and your memories will be cherished | As we of the ut delight to honor the memory of the heroic dead, so will yon be honored by generations yet to come. The present honored reception that greets vou, however flattering, but feebly indicates the meed of honor that awaits you—of which : posterity shall deem you worthy, i In conclusion, let me say, may you live, may I live, may we all live, to see that "Sl.tr Sjtanylcd Banner," revered in song—with no : one star stricken from the c nsLilafiun, and no ono stripe from the original thirteen— floating aloft frt/rn every ram oar t, dome and hilltop, front every no, k and curtu r ... this broad land ; and from every port and m i-t head on sea and river. An i then shall be developed in a new firm, demonstrated to th eyes by the w .rid; not the inherent weak ness, but the inherent pote r if a free yawn •unit, to maintain i?s own • .:b-t';v and to preserve the liberties of its people, the .inter ieau Republic occupying a loftier rank among the nations, becoming a power in the earth , am'waled among the powers that be—a ter ror to despots—a beacon light to the oppres sed- - tli" almoner of liberty to enslaved hu manity form the li-ing to the setting sun. Honored members of the Logan Guards! S ddiers of the Republic! again, we bid vou H'c/mor ! Mr. Parker then announced that av rangements had been made for a dinner at the Court House on Friday afternoon at three o'clock, for the Logan Guards and the Hums Infantry, Cupt. Zollinger, and also that tho latter company would be re ceived in the sauie manner as the Guards had been. Three cheer- and a ti.-er were then given for our country, and subse quently the Loaan ' i ends gave a similar approbation to the R v.

In truth, looking to the welfare of all, would it not be well for our leading citizens to unite in a body and for the present at least request the closing of ail drinking houses and stores where liquor is sold, at eight o'clock in the evening, or even an earlier hour. Better this than that one man should be led astray. TOWN COUNCIL. —A meeting of the Town Council was held on the 23d to con sider the propriety of granting 350 for pro viding a supper for the Logan Guards, when the following resolution was unani mously adopted : Resolved, That SSO be appropriated to wards furnishing a supper for the Logan Guards; provided that the Chief Burgess as certain, before making out said order, that the Town Council has power to grant money for such purposes. ACCIDFNT. —Jennie, an interesting child of James A. Murray, foil a consider able distance from the stairway to the floor last week, breaking Iter thigh bone and sus taining some other injuries. The limb was set by Dr. VanValzah, and the little suf ferer is now doing well. fQf The body of A. Gregg Neff, a mem ber of the Bellefocte Fencibles, who died at Ilarrisburg last week of typhoid fever, was forwarded to the home of his mother, near Potter's Bank, on Monday last. He was a young man, and formerly in the em ploy of George Blymyer of this place. The Logan Guard Fund.

GEORGE FRYSINGEU, Treasurer. LIKUT. J.VSIKS S. ]> It lis Ji I x. —This gal lant young Peniisylvanian, who has been in this town with his relative, S. J. Bris : bin, for some days, was among the earliest appointments of the Secretary of War, and ' : distinguished himself during the late se- j verc contest at Bull Jiun in a manner that reflects credit alike upon himself and the service. In the account of the battle pub . li-hetl in the Baltimore Sun, he i- thus al luded to: "This officer hud three men shot while en- ' ieavuring t 1 .-top tie- r treat, and he himself; perfiruied gallant servi.-c in this way alter having received the following wounds: A ni-t'd shot through the arm, n eeived in tlie 1 i-t charge of the seces-i ei oava!rv: a wound i ; t tL • side from the splinter >1 a shell, reeeiv i <•(1 in the field : a -able cot in tlie sh mldcr. received while tude voring to stop the re-1 ; trcsl '"' A corrcspoiulent ol the New ork ; j World corroborates the above with the fol lowing additional statement of fact and 1 compliment: " The sight of Miles* reserve drawn up on | the hills at Cent rev ille, supporting a full bat I tery of field pieces, and the efforts of tbe few j officers still faithful to their trust, encouraged j many of the fugitive infantry to seek their j own eamps and go no f'uther. But a majori ty pushed on to a point near the lat" site of Germantown, where Lieutenant Bri.-bin had formed a line of Hunt's artillerists across the : road, and repulsed all who attempted to ; break through I particularly request atten ! tion to the services thus rendered by thisloy ' ai young officer." F. Miller, Esq., of Eewis burg, a prominent candidate for President Judge of this district lias declined. For the (jazelt". Among the Logan Guards we are pleased : to recognize our young friend William T. Me | Ewen. Having served five years in the 2d U. ; S. 1. avalry and been honorably discharged by Oapt. Jas. Oakes, Mr. McEwen, in tin- hour of his country's danger promptly voluntered his services, and marched to Washington in April last with the Logan Guards. His friends would be gratified to see him appoint ed a conimisiened officer, for which his taste and experience so admirably qualify him. lie would -make an excellent cavalry officer, a branch of tbe service in which the army is known to be deficient. We would therefore suggest to the new company now being form ed in the valley the name of this young gen tleman, as one of its officers, lie would make an efficient one. KjsiiACoqcir LAS.
