The Janua Faced Party.
i here was a time when the word
Democracy, applied to a party, meant j
something, and he who advocated its
principles could not only tell what he j
was advocating, hut his opponent also ,
knew against what lie was contending.
Now however he is a wise man indeed
vi ho could tell a first principle on
which that party even remotely ap
proximates, liir it is war and anti-war
in the same breath—it favors soldiers j
who fought gallantly, and gives cow- j
ardly deserters and runaways from
dratts equal credit —it condemns re- j
hellion, and then justifies it—it lauds j
tome generals of the Union army, but
finds its heroes among traitors—it is
opposed to loyal negroes, yet advo
cates their representation by rebel !
, whites—it talks ahout equality and hu
man rights, and advocates castes ot
races and justifies slavery—with Jack- f
son tor President he could find power I
in the Constitution to put down re :
bellion. with Buchanan in the same of
fi'-e, fie could find none. Such contrasts :
might be extended indefinitely, and
plain as they must he to even ordina
ry minds, i? is surprising so many
well-meaning men will blindly follow
leaders who have heretofore carried
them to the verge of destruction. Wo i
do not mean to say that the repub
lican party is all purity—far from it; ■
it has its camp followers, its ruoun
tebaukfi, and its cheats and swindlers !
But we do say that in the great war
recently terminated, and which involv
ed the welfare of our country and the
perpetuity ot its institutions, that par
ty embraced the great mass of the
people ot this country who coincided I
"Willi the Jaeksonian doctrine that the
I. iiiou must be preserved, and to do i
that acted under the maxim of "Our 1
Country—right or wrong." To show
the truth of what we state above, we j
give two extracts below, the first from
the Bellefonte Watchman, detendin"
a deserter from the draft, the second
from the Clymer platform :
••Besides, it wa no dis-1 -That the Nation owes i
grave to escape Irom a ty- j to the brave men ot our \r

' aat Platform.
Ostensibly, the platform resolution
returns thanks to the Union army, but
according to the Watchman it must
mean lien. Lee and his army of trai
tors! Now which of these is demo
cratic ?
We may also add that the Watch
man does not stand alone in its sen- |
timents. Similar doctrine is ineuleat- j
ed by the Harrisburg misnamed Ua

self-styled Democratic press in this

A Cop's Record.
The old saying that a "renegade is
worse than ten Turks," is again exem
plified in the nomination of iliester
Clymer, a former whig who left that
party for the sake of office, and be
came, as is frequently .the case with
those governed by such motives, worse
than any ten original patent democrats
to be found between Lake Erie and the
Delaware river. During the war ho
was of course a Prince among Cops, as
the following, from a hundred proofs *
that might be adduced, will show.
We quote from the Legislative Be
i cord of page 23, as follows :
Mr. iirabam offorvrl the following resolution:
That ill • Senate of tVtuicyivania urge j
udoii the Congr-•> of the i'niteri State- the propriety '
or iiicrea-Mig the pay of officers and privates of lie

vate's one hundred per cent.
t >n the question, Will the Senate jtroeeed to a see- j
ond reading of the resolution?
Trie yeac and nays were required by Mr. Kiusevand i
Mr. I'onovan. and were a- follows, viz:

On the 9th of April. 1 sf>3. :i bill was
introduced in the S uiateallow ing Penn

right of suffrage. Thi- bill was stren- j
uously opposed by the Copperheads in I
that body, in which opposition Sena- j

and a test vote had with the following '
result:

The following proceedings, had on
the Gth day of January, ISG4, in the
i Senate of Pennsylvania, we copy from
I page 6 of the Legislative Itecord, I S G4,
• as follows:
GE!t. r. S. ORAVT and otiifrp.
Mr L owry offered the following resolution :
; Resolved hy the Senate, that the ti.anks of the loy-
I al [icupie of Pennsylvania are duo and are hereby
tendered t>> Oen. I'. S Oraut and ih- officers and sol
j diers serving umier him. lbr tiie series of gallant s-r
--| vices and glorious victories resulting in the liberation
j of the faithful I'nion people of East Tennessee from
! a military despotism more gulling than ever was that j
' of Great Biitiuu.
On the question, Will the Senate pro- 1
j ceed to the second reading of the res- j
olution '! the yeas and nays were as .
, follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Champneys, Conns!. Lhtnlap. Flew- i

So the question ,va- Jetermined in the negative.
Here stands the name <>t every Dem
ocratic Senator recorded against aJ
vote of thanks to the gallant General i
Grant who brought the war to a suc
cessful close.
On Friday, the 4th day of March,
! UG4, the following Joint Resolution
1 was taken up for consideration (see !
■ page 295 of the Legislative Record,
session ISG4.) viz :
Joint resolution^ asking Congress to j>as-a law :n- j
creasing the pay of private soldiers sod non-oommis-1
si-nod otfl -ers in tnv army, cain> before the Senate
on third reading, and as read as f llows :

On the final passage of the bill, the

A cop sheet says the repeal ot the
i State tax on real estate is a republican
trick to gull farmers, which we take it j
means that a Clymer legislature and
Governor would not have done so -
Most tarmers vve suspect Yvould like to
; tricked and gulled in that Yvay all
the time.
Major Elbow says the cops have been J
so long out of office and are now so j
hungry that if restored to poYver in
this State it would take a five mill tax
on ical Chtute to till their empty maws.
Such a tax Yvould be most decidedly a
j democratic trick worthy of Clymer & !
Co.
The cops that Yvanted to fight under
I Johnson, are drawing in their horns '
since they have discovered that the
President still continues to appoint
Lnion men to office in preference to
rebel sympathizers. The fact is, its the
j offices they are after, and to get them
they YYOUM steal Union thunder and
j call it democratic.

' the first volume of Mr. Greelv -"American Conflict." I
I with deep interest, and consider it decidedly the best
his'., ry of the Great Rebellion which has yet been
written. It- -tatement of the causes t.f the war is
• -.itidiu and lilierai. it- tut: ration is admirable, and asa j
whole, it is a contribution to our national history- of j
great value. The freshness of its style —the graphic i
distinctness with which ,t depicts the events of the j
war. and presents t.. the res or the characters of the j
ac;..rs on both sales, render it deeply interesting, j
while its entire freedom from partizau bigotry, and :
tiie evident sincerity of tin- writer, inspires perfect '
confidence in it.- truth as * history. II the work shall ,
t omplcted as it has begun, it will be worthy of its |
-object, and a ! c-ting monument to the eminent utl- i
'ems and undoubted patriotism of its author.

What Others Say About It.
The Philadelphia Commercial List of March 3d,
contains a letter from one of its correspondents, dated
Austin. Nevada. February 5. 1866. wI.J.-h sav-:
"At the lower extremity of the city of Austin—
quondam Clifton— where Pony Canon denouohes into
llcese Kiver \ alley, a project lias I>een commenced,
wtiii-n. if carried out M accordance with tin- plan of
ttiose who conceived trie scheme, will prove ONE of
. the most magnificent works of the liav and which
; cannot fail to handsomely reward those'who push it
jto completion. I allude to the Hopkins' Tunnel.
■ The Revenue Extension Mining Company, owning
I this tunnel have a series of ledges lying parallel
j with each other, located upon the hill, at the foot of
j which this work commences, and will cut at nearly
; a right angle each lode with which it comes in con
i tract tiiroughout its entire length, and th< v own be
J numbered BY the score — the bill wing literal)* -eaui
: ed with them. * As this great work progresses, VEIN
' after vein of the rock bearing the precious metal will
lie crossed, at A depth sufficient to render their work
i ing profitable, each in succession being cut at a great
er depth from the surface than the preceding one,
I owing to the rising of the hill in which they are locat
! ed. Upon these veins, after they are crossed, work
| men can he engaged in extracting the ore.- upon eith
| er side of the tunnel, without in any manner hinder-
J ing its progress."
The Sutress the Company Certain.
I It is thus apparent that the Revenue Extension
Sliver Mining Company have progressed so farm
; their operations thai succe-s is wt onfu certain, hut
i ACTUALLY AT THY. IIOOK. Before the close of the com
' ing summer — perhaps by the middle — it will be rank
ed amongst the DIVIDEND-PAYING cotnpauics, and
| "JT'M-K will, in all probability, advance to $25. $56. or
perhaps even floo per share. Therefore, now is the
tunc t" incest. Only a small portion of the working
. capital yet remains unsold, aud the Directors are anx
ious that it should fa- disposed of immediately, in or
