PEOPLE'S PARTY
Im\lT lUMIAIIUI
The members of tlie 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 nominatinga tick
et, either in whole or in part, as may best
subserve the interests of our Cnion, the
glorious banner of our country, and all
measures of our government calculated to
crush out treason and traitors—and of up-
pointing Conferees to place in nomination
a candidate for the office of President
Judge of this judicial district.

A TICKET.
The Breckinridgers, although apparent
ly in the background, had pretty much
their own way in the delegate meetings,
as well as in the county convention, and
the result was the nomination of a ticket
about as weak in all its essential elements
as could well have been selected. The se
lection of the two ex tavern keeepers for
associate judges, a tavern keeper for treas
urer, and the proscription of Douglas dem
ocrats—onght to have had their folly cli
maxed by the recommendation of some
tavern keeper for President Judge !
'i here was no effort made that we know
of to avoid party feeling this fall, but on
the contrary some of those nominated are
known to be tainted with a Southern sym
pathy, partaking rather largely of the New
"S oik Pay Book school. While some of
the nominees are—perhaps it would bet
ter to say were—estimable enough as pri
vate citizens, the circumstances under
which they- were nominated, will ensure
th cir defeat by a large majority. The
mutterings already rise from all quarters,
and will increase to thunder long before
the election.
Having thus rejected all offers of com
promise, made to them on behalf of
the People's Party, it now only remains for
that party to place before the People a tick
et composed of good citizens and sound
Union men, aud the contest will then be
"The Union, the Constitution, and Obe
dience to the Laws, vs. the aiders abettors,
defenders, and apologists of the iniquities of
James Buchanan's administration.
Henry Boss, of McVeytown, was nomi
nated fur Assembly, James Turner and
Isaiah Poplin for Associate Judges, Moses
A. Sample for Treasurer, and John Stroup,
of I niou, fur Commissioner.
adjourned on Tuesday,
having passed all the bills necessary for
prosecuting the war and maintaining the
government.
Congress has enacted a law increasing
the pay of the soldiers from eleven to fif
teen dollars per month, which comes up
more to the standard of justice, and also
affords additional inducements to volunteer.
It appears, by an examination of the
two volunteer bills, one being supplemen
tal to the other, that the President has the
power to call one million men in the field,
although that extent of authority was not,
it is believed, designed. It is not thought,
therefore, that more than 5(J0,0U0 will be
accepted.

The Democrat ami the "War.
We publish below some extracts of a let
ter of the Hon. Howard Everett, as to the
causes of the present war, from which it
will be seen that ho avers from his own
knowledge that the Southern traitors have
been at work for a period oi thirty year.-,
in bringing about the present state of af
fairs. Here are the extracts :

I certainly deprecate the choice of a President ex
clusively by the electoral vote of one section of the
country", though consenting with tlie greatest reluc
tance to be myself up. u one of the opposing tickets.
It was however, fully in the power of the South to
have produced a different result. But the disnniowst-/

After the election was decided, the disunionists
would not wait for overt acts, because they knew none
could or would be committed. They knew that there
was an anti-Republican majority in the Senate, and
that there would be one in tlie present House. They
I **precipitated the rupture of the J.mon. because they kuctc
: that it they wailed, a- i tin prctej t for it wouhl fail.
To this testimony can be added tlie dec
laration of Senator Latham, of Gen. Wool,
| and many others who aver the same thing,
and there is reason to believe that Mr.
Douglas made a similar declaration previ
ous to his death, yet the Democrat contin
ues to publish flash articles charging the
Republicans with being abolitionists, ene
mies of their country, and that they are
the traitors. The editor of the Democrat
knows as well as any one that abolitionists
are few and far between, and that tlie
whole excitement has been produced by
the very men whom its editor until a very
recent period worshipped as demigods of
democracy. Their studied falsehoods
throughout tlie South, both in speeches
and in the press, inflamed the public mind
until ignorant men there really believed
that the North was bent on the extirpation
of slavery, and to such an extent is this
carried that at the present day it is a noto
rious fact the southerners curse the north-
I ern democracy for abolitionists as much as
they do the Massachusetts men !
Again we find the Democrat insidiously
charging the prospective taxation and in
creased duties on a change of rulers made
by the people in all the forms called for by
the Constitution, and even taunts them
with language like this :
The American people are exceedingly fund
of change. This is particularly true in poli
ties. It often happens, however, that the
change brings naught but evil when good was
promised, a d the harvest reaped is but the
Dead Sea's fruit—dust and ashes to the lips
that press it! In the late contest fur the
Presidency, the people loudly clamored for a
change, and a Republican Administration
soon took the place of Democratic rule. One
of the changes induced by that election and
seriously affecting the people is a change in
the Tariff. * * * Again, we
have another change in the way of UIKECT
TAXATION'. * * * Here is an
interesting change for taxpayers! But so we
go. The people would have a change—they
got it—and of course they are satisfied.
We ask every friend of Lis country, of
its laws and its institutions, whether this
is the language of patriotism? The per
jured traitors who had been retained in
cabinet offices under Mr. Buchanan with a
strange fatuity until they asked for the dis
grace of the American flag, when he was
finally, but too late, aroused to a sense of
his duty and his oath, had disarranged the
finances of the country, scattered and de
moralized the army and navy, and created
millions of a public debt in a time of peace
and partial prosperity, and then attacked
forts and arsenals, and like thieves and
robbers seized upon every description of
public property. They next made war on
their government and its institutions, and
their minions treated those who rushed to
their defence as none but cutthroats would
treat living men. In proof of this let any
man ask the Logan Guards what they think
of the hellhounds in the employ of the
codfish aristocracy of Baltimore in April
last/ And yet because President Lincoln
and his advisers, seconded it is said by
John J. Crittenden and all other good men
who love their country, are, in pursuanoe
of their oaths, endeavoring to preserve our
institutions and our flag, they are held up
as the causes of all this —and that too by
one who claims as good a right as anybody
c-lsc to hold an office of little labor worth
§I4OO a year under - the administra
tion his columns are assailing.
About the time of the bombardment
ol l ort Sumter the Democrat proclaimed
that if a war would break out it would be
a republican war, and now t occasionally
squints at its being a democratic one. It
is certainly the latter in the South, for ev
ery prominent traitor there was of that
school. Its most recent effort was made
last week in publishing a statement made
by a fellow who styles himself " Lieuten
ant Zerenburg" of the First Minnesota,
that there were but two republicans in the
regiment! His statement is an unqualified
falsehood, known to be so by persons here.
Moral if not Legal Treason.
We comment to the attention oi the
i Prosecuting Attorney and G rand Jury the
following extracts from the New \ ork
j Pay Book, a pretended democratic paper,
• which, if not in the pay of the Southern
conspirators, is, to say the least, advocating
the most treasonable sentiments. 1 ack
ages ofthis paper are industriously distrib
uted throughout this county. It is time
fir the proper authorities to look alter this
matter and see whether those engaged in
circulating such documents arc not trans
cending their duty to their country and vi
olating the allegiance they owe our gov
erument and its institutions —for, if it is
• not cheeked, less than a prophet can fore
! tell that the day is not distant when the
1 hopes of the conspirators that civil dissen
sions in the North will arise to aid their
, cause, will be realized, and the horrors ot
civil war transferred to our own valleys.
II such sentiments are not "aid and com
fort" to the enemy, what are they? Here
are the extracts :
| " The secession of a State or a number of
■ States, leaves society safe, and popular free-
J dom secure."
i "Our position, as a nation, is that priva-
I teering is simply the volunteering system of
warfare applied to combat upon the ocean.—
A privateer is no more a pirate than a land
volunteer a bandit."
"The south cannot be subjugated, and no
one but a fool or a madman can suppose such
a thing. They are people who, in bravery,
statesmanship and energv', are unsurpassed,
if equalled, upon the face of the earth. And
more than that, Southern men are democrats,
free men, with the largest individual liberty
of any people in Christendom. The southern
democracy have hitherto saved the govern
ment. If we are cut off from the Jeffersons
and Jacksons, the Davises and Hunters, and
Masons and Tylers, of the south, there is
then 110 hope for the Republic."
" It was in Maryland that freedom began
its march on this continent, and now what
do we see after seventy-five years have elaps
ed ? A sight which painfully reminds us of
the mutability of human affairs. We see
soldiers from other States encamped upon
the sacred soil of Maryland, with their bayo
nets at the throats of the Culverts, the How
ards, and the Carrols of Maryland. What a
commentary upon " our Fathers" doctrine of
State Sovereignty. What a stupendous lie
it makes even of the constitution itself."
" If we could effectually maintain a ten
years' blockade of the south, she would be
all the time developing her resources and
rendering herself more independent, while
universal bankruptcy and a total destruction
of public and private credit would prevail
with us. It will he easy for fanatics and
madmen to sneer at all this, but it is never
theless a truth which we shall terribly real
ize when it is too late to save either the Un
ion or ourselves. The time will come when
our children, will not be blinded by passion
as we arc, will blush for us and curse our
memory for being engaged in this WICKED
AND UNIIOLY WAR against the south."
The Manassas Battle.
Tlie accounts given by correspondents
of the Southern papers of the battle near
Manassas Junction show how victor)' at j
one time trembled in the balance, and that
it was only the better generalship of the
(Jon federates that finally decided il in their
favor. "Se l)e Kay," the correspondent of
the Louisville Courier, in his account of
the light, says :
The fortunes of the day were evidently
against us. .Some of our best officers had
been slain, and the ii over of the army lay
strewn upon the field, ghastly in death, or ,
gaping with wounds. At noon the cannona
ding fe described as terrific. It was an in- ]
cessant roar fur more than two hours, the j
havoc and devastation at this time being fear j
ful. McDowell, with the aid of J'atterson's
division of '20,000, had nearly outflanked us, j
aud were just in the act of possessing them- (
selves of the railway to Richmond. Then ali j
would have been lost. But most opportune \
ly, I may say Providentially, at this junc- j
turo, Gen. Johnson, with the remnant of his I
division —our ariny, as we fondly call it, for I
we have been friends and brothers in camp J
and field for three months—reappeared, and |
made one.othcr desperate struggle to obtain j
the advantage ground. Eisy'a brigade of,
Marylanders and Virginians led the charge, j
and right manfully did they execute the j
work. Gen. Johnson himself led the ad
vance, and, wild with delirium, Listen thrus- j
and advanced in hot haste upon three times
their number. Twice was Sherman's bat
tery, that all day long had proven so destrue 1
tive, charged and taken and our men driven
brck. The third time, Virginians, Carolini
ans, Mississippians, and Louisianians captur
ed the great guns and maintained their posi
tion.
"Se l)e Kay" is in error in supposing
that Patterson's division was in the fight,
but his account shows that had the reserves
under General Miles, which were at Cen
treville, been promptly brought up at the
moment when the Confederates were wa
vering and almost hopeless, or had General ,
Patterson held Johcston in cheek, the his- '
tory of the field would have been altogeth
er a different one. Concluding his ac
count of the fight, the correspondent says :
This is a sad day. The rain is pouring in |
torrents. The killed and wounded are being
brought in by hundreds, and a gloom per
vades all hearts, that even the sense of our
great victory cannot relieve.
For the Gazette. j
Among the duties incumbent on the county
convention will be the appointment of confer
ees to nominate a candidate for President
Judge. S. S. Woods, Esq., is the only one
named in this county, and as the nomination i
was yielded to Union county teD years ago,
Mifflin or Snyder would seem to be entitled
to it now. Mr. W's fitness for the post, being
an able lawyer and fearless man, is unques
tioned and unquestionable, and with many oth
ers I believe he would make a Judge who j
would see to the proper administration of
laws now almost a dead letter. Let the con
vention therefore give him a suitable endorse
ment by sending conferees who will advocate
his nomination. X. j
General Patterson
We had hoped ere this some satisfactory
explanation would have been made of the
course pursued by Gen. Patterson previous
to the battle at Manassas, but except a few
labored articles in partizan sheets nothing
has been published calculated to throw light
ou his movements. The rebel accounts all
agree that Johnson had been sending off
his troops from Winchester for three days
previous to that battle, and could not there
fore have hud the strength rej resented—
and we doubt whether he had at any time.
As the Democrat has undertaken to make
a defence of his conduct, we give the fol
lowing from the well informed correspon
dent of the New York Times:
"The official dispatches to Gen. Patterson
will show that the entire blame for the defeat
of our forces at Hull Hun P due entirely to
his neglect of positive orders, lie was direc
ted—first, t i engage and defeat Johnson; sec
ond, if unable to engage Johnson, to get be
tween him and Manassas, and prevent* junc
tion i ! hp lb ret s with Beauregard's ; third,
if unable to fulfil either of these orders, lie
was to harrass Johnson in fr ut, and keep
him before Winchester ; fourth, ii he could
do neither of flies'* things, then he was to
make all haste to Washington, and join Mc-
Dowell as soon s Johnson could join Beaure
gard. It will be seen that Gen. Patterson dis
regarded each of these orders, and that, had
he obeyed either, he would have prevented
the disaster at Bull Run, and at once have ut
terly destroyed the rebellion, or removed the
seat of war beyond the confines of Virginia."
When Gen. I'attersoii or his friends are
able and do refute such statements as these,
we will give them the benefit of the refuta
tion, but until this is done, the General is
bound to be regarded as haying neglected
to do that which every one believed he
was sent to do, namely, at the bant to held
.Johnson in check. His marching and
countermarching in Virginia, if this: was
not his objoct, were mere farces which any
cornstalk militia general could have as well
accomplished.
Troops from Pennsylvania.
The llarrisburg Telegraph says Penn
sylvania has now almost ready for the
field—
One regiment of Cavalry, of 1,040
One regiment of Artillery, of 1,010
Twelve regiments of Infantry, of
1,040 men each 12,480
Fourteen regiments accepted directly
by the I*. S. Government, of 1,040
men each, to take the place of
the three months' volunteers re
tiring 14,500
Showing an aggregate of 29,120
To this aggregate add the troops al
ready furnished for three years:
The Pennsylvania Reserve
Corps of thirteen reg
iments 13,520
The four regiments accept
ed for three years as
above referred to 4,100
The enlistments from Penn
sylvania for other
States 5,000
And we have a grand aggregate of 51,800
Showing that Pennsylvania, within one
mouth, will have in the field nearly 52,-
000 men, should no further requisition be
made upon lier.
Hv adding the forces furnished under
the first requisition for twenty-five regi
ments, am tinting to 10,520 men, Penn
sylvania's contribution to the war, within
six months, is shown to he 11,020 men.

him many warm friends. Give us a man like
him at the head of the great union party, and
wc will roil up a majority for him such as
Mifflin county may he proud of.

THE WAR NEWS.
Major General Butler lis gone to Wash
ington on a visit, and according to newspa
per report, is to be succeeded in the com
mand at old Point by Major General Wool,
of the regular army. Intemperance and
bad discipline prevail among the troops
there. The gun boats which, under com
mand of Lieutenant Crosby, were sent on
an expedition to the eastern shore of Vir
ginia, had returned to Old Point. They
seized tli ce vessels charged with having
been engaged in conveying goods to the
Confederates. Two were burned and the
third taken to Old Point. At Shell Point,
on the Pocomokc river, the expedition was
tired upon from the shore but no damage
done. The tire was returned from the gun
boats.
By telegraph, via Louisville, we have
interesting Southern items. Twenty thous
and Tennessee troops are reported to have
been landed in Missouri, near Madrid.—
; General Flour..oy, of Arkansas, is dead.
General Beauregard is reported to have
hung three "traitors" near Manassas—one
an engineer on the railroad, the second a
| preacher, and the third a farmer. A de
spatch to the Knoxvillc Register says that
the Confederate army in Virginia has been
! divided into two divisions, one under Gen
: eral Johnston and the other under General
j Beauregard, end predicts that an import
, ant movement will soon be made. Per
j contra, the Richmond Examiner thinks it
| " improbable that any alteration in the po
-1 " sition of the army will be made at pres
i " ent."
Gen. Fremont arrived at Bird's Point,
opposite Cairo, on Friday with four thou
sand troops transported from St. Louis in
steamboats. The force at Bird's Point is
; now eight thousand. Information from
i " well-informed citizens" states that the
I movement of the Confederate troops i not
I against Bird's Point and Cairo, but is des
; igned for an attack on St. Louis. It is
evident, however, that the Confederate
force at New Madrid could not move to
wards St. Louis without relieving General
Fremont from all fears of an attack upon
Bird's Point, and with the command of
the river and plentiful means of transpor
tation, he could quickly transfer his force
: to St. Louis.
Affairs at Harper's Ferry.
Gen. Banks has removed the main body
: of his troops to a ravine about a mile south
east of Harper's Ferry, while Poublcday's
j battery commands Sheppard's Ford, and
Perkins' battery commands the Leesburg.
! Gen. Banks lias about eighteen thousand
men in his command, being reinforced
daily, and expects in all this week t" have
| about twenty-five thousand men in his col
| umn. He occupies Harper's Ferry now
! with throe companies of the Massachusetts
| Oth, which are quartered in what shelter is
| afforded by what remains of the govern
j tnent buildings. The town is completely
| desolated, the government workshops hav- i
ing boon destroyed, all labor stopped, while j
; the necessities of life canimt be purchased
! at any price in the town,
i Should the enemy attempt to approach
: or attack Harper's Ferry from Lcvsburgor
Sheppard's Ford, the three companies quar
tered in the workshops would of course re
treat to the other side, and the reception
of the enemy left to Doubleday's and Per |
kins' batteries. The utmost confidence is
expressed in Gen. Banks' ability to repulse
'he enemy, should lie appear in double the
force of the federal troops, and the move of |
Gen. Banks in occupying bis present posi
tion is spoken of in the highest terms by
the ablest army officers in that c- lunni,
showing a sagacity equal to the most ex
perienced commanders in the field.
f-iy*A portion of the New York
crossed the Potomac and had a sharp skir
mish with a party of Confederate cavalry.
They killed three, took seven prisoners,
