COUNTY CONVENTION The mem Iters of the Union Republican Party of Mifflin county, are requested to meet at their usual places of holding del egate elections, on SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1866, to elect delegates to a < ,'ounty Convention to he hold sit Lewistown, on Monday, the 13th of A...gust, to elect Congressional and Representative Conferees, and to nom inate candidates for Associate Judges, Sheriff, Commissioner, and Auditor. By order of the Co. Com. R. \\ . PATTON, Chairman. BMP, The delegate elections are recom mended !t be held during the afternoon of said day, between the hours of 2 and 7 p. in . and to IH> kept open two hours from the time of opening. In Lewistown the usual hours have been from 2 to 4 p. m. Union Meeting. I lie I nion men of Mifflin county, and all others who have Iteen acting with them in their etlbrts to put down the re bellion, and who, in weal and woe, have rallied around the flag—all who desire to unite with them ih sustaining Congress in its patriotic efforts to reconstruct the I nion on a sound basis, are requested to assemble in County Meeting, at the Town Hall, Lewistown, on MONDAY EVEN ING, AL GUST 18th, for the purpose of opening the campaign in Mifflin county. B£P.Able speakers will be in attend ance. Lewistown, Aug. 8, 1866. The Gazette for the Campaign. At the request of a number of UL on men, we have concluded to furnish the Gazette to Octolter 31st, at the following rates, payable when ordered • I c °py A so 4o o copies to one address 2 00 10 "do 3 5q o? " 6 7.5 do u 00 QQ (I j ° W 66 do 10 00 In Lewistown papers will be delivered by the carrier to whomsoever ordered but when sent in packages through the county we cannot undertake to direct each paper. Delegate Elections. We hope our friends throughout the county will attend the delegate election on Saturday, and see that good men are selected. But few candidates have been announced, and as but little rivalry has thus far arisen, the delegates will be able to act with better judgement and more for the interests of the ticket than if hav ing but one particular office in view.— Where fitness, location and standing are embodied in a soldier, we give that sol dier the preference, and shall be glad to see the convention adopt the same rule but be the nominees soldier? or civilians' let them by all means be of the right stamp. It lias t>een suggested that diffi culty may arise as to who has a right to vote for delegates. There can be none in this respect, us it is generally understood that whoever is willing to support the ticket to be nominated by the delegates is entitled to a vote. Speaking of the adjournment of Congress, the last Johnstown Democrat says: "Their last act of infamy, was to vote each member ol Congress SB.OOO under the cloak of martial music, bv nussintr the bounty bill, WHICH WILL BI FED THE NATIONAL TREASURY OF THE SNUG LITTLE SUM OF 875 000- 000! We are glad to see 'the cuss re moved.' " The above is some more democratic : love for the private soldier. Here the Clymerites iatelv found fault with Con gress for not passing a bounty bill, and now that one has been passed a demo cratic organ pronounces it "bleeding the treasury,* I The Democrat and Pacts. The Democrat says the Judiciary Com mittee's report fails to give any evidence of complicity with the murder of Presi dent Lincoln, either against Jet" Davis ni nny other of the Southern leaders. Any such evidence would of course becircum stantial, and in our opinion if it could be shewn here on a trial that A entertained propositions from B and C to assassinate D. and D was afterwards assassinated hv E and the secret cypher of A found on the assassin, as was the case with Booth, who had that of the rebel government, a Mifflin county jury would be very apt to convict A as an accessory to the crime. The rcjMirt which the Democrat says ex onerates Jef Davis, furnishes the follow ing among many other facts : On the 12th of September, 1864, a letter was written to Jeff Davis by J. S. Pura more, which was received, us appears by the endorsement, on the 20th of the same month. The following is a copy: " SEPTEMBER 12, 18(51, "BOSTON P. 0., Thomas Co. Ga. "JEFFERSON* DAVIS: " 818 : Having a desire to be of benefit to the Confederate Btates is the only ex cuse I can oti'er for addressing you a let ter; and believing the best plan would he to dispose of the leading characters of the North, for that reason I have tried and experimented in certain particular.- that will do this without difficulty, although :! is quite an underhanded manner of warfare; and not knowing whether it would meet with your appreciation or not, prevents me from giving you a full account of the material used, although I believe any <>ne of them would take the life of a Southerner in any manner they could. If you wish it. write to me ami get the whole process. Hoping you good health and future victory, "J. 8. PARAMORE." I At the top of this letter, in the hand writing of Jeff Davis, is the following note: " Secretary of War, J. D." Upon the back of this letter is this endorsement, under the name and residence of the wri ter : " Has discovered a mode of disposing of the leading characters at the North.— File." Oil the 17th of August, 1863, one H. C. Durham writes to Jefferson Davis a let ter, of which the following is a copy: NEAR SAVANNAH, Ga. Aug. 17, '(53. To President J. Davis: Mr. President: After long meditation and much reflection on the subject of this communication, I have determined to in trude upon you, earnestly hoping my mo tive will constitute a full vindication for such presumption on the part of one so humble and obscure as myself, though I must say that the evidence of your Chris tian humility almost fully assures me. I propose, with your permission, to assist in organizing a number of select men, say not less than three to five hundred, to go into the United States and assassinate the most prominent leaders of our enemies, for instance, Be ward, Lincoln, Greely, Prentice, etc. * * Begging your respectful attention to this communication, I am your Excellen cy's most obedient servant* H. C. DURHAM, 63d Ga. Vol. To his Excellency President Davis, Rich mond. This letter was received Aug. 24, 1863, and is noticed as follows: " Asks permission to take from three to five hundred men, and assassinate the leading men of the United Btates. Re spectfully referred, by the direction of the President, to the Hon. Secretary of War. J. C'. Ives, Col. and A. D. C. Aug. 24. File." In addition to the testimony thus pre sented upon this point, the committee re fer to a letter of Lieut. R. Alston, which was produced at the trial of the conspira tors of the assassination of President Lin coln, from which the following is an ex tract: " I now otter you my services, and if you will favor me in my designs I will proceed, as soon as my health will per mit, to rid my country of some of her deadliest enemies by striking at the very heart's blood ol those who seek to enchain her in slavery. I consider nothing dis honorable having such a tendencv. All I ask of you i.s to favor me by granting me the necessary papers, &c., to travel on. I am perfectly familiar with the North, and feel confident that I can execute any thing I undertake. I was in the raid last June in Kentucky, under General John H. Morgan. Was taken prisoner. Ks caped from them by disguising myself in the garb of a citizen. I went thro' to the Canadas, from whence, by the assistance of Col. J. p. Holcombe, I succeeded in working mv way around and through the blockade. I should like to have a per sonal interview with you, in orderto per fect the arrangements before starting." The following are the endorsements upon the above communication : "A. 1390. Abla 1390. Lt. W. Alston, Montgomery, Sulphur Springs, Ya. No date. Is in General Duke's command ; accompanied the raid into Kentucky, and was captured, but escaped into Canada, whence he found his way back. Been in had health. Now offers his services to rid the country of some of its deadliest enemies. Asks for no papers to permit linn to travel within the jurisdiction of tne Government; would like to have an interview and explain." "Respectfully . oterred, by direction of the President, to the Hon. Secretary of War." " Signed Burton W. Harrison." " Received. Nov! ~K 1864. Recorded, book A. & G. O. Dec. 15, 1864. A. G. for attention. By order, sighed, J. A. Campbell, A. B. W." It is thus clearly established that this poor, innocent lamb, Jef Davis, entertain ed such propositions, and instead of re jecting them as cowardly and dishonora ble, referred them to his Secretary of War for consideration! The Democrat attempts to justify the removal of officers for opinion's sake, by citing the fact that Congress struck out flu- appropriation to pay our Minister to Portugal because he wrote a private letter to Seward censuring Congress. That pa- I* >r however forgets to state Mr. Seward made this private letter pvblic by pub lishing it. The Democrat is mistaken in saying that Cornelius Vanderbilt, A. T. Stew art, and \\ ui. B. Astorof Is cw York have been elected delegates to the Johnson Convention, and rather unfortunate in alluding to them at all. Those parties, wijh others, have issued a call for a State Convention to be held to-morrow at Sara toga Springs to appoint delegates, and that call, over their signatures, concludes with the following significant paragraph: "By the language and spirit of the ca LI., it will be perceived that those who refus ed their support to the government in put ting down rebellion, and those who ap proved' the action of Congress in keeping loyal representatives out of their seats and loyal States out of the Union, are exclu ded from Ihe invitation, and are NOT ex pected to participate in the preliminary meetings, or to take stent in the conven tion." According; to this, while these rich men do not want Stevens, Sumner, fcc. there, neither are they willing to admit north ern copperheads or suffer them to partici pate in the delegate elections. It thus appears tli.it about one-half of thedemoc racy of this county would be excluded. It is oi course an easy matter for a cor respondent of the New York Herald to get up an •'announcement" that a defi ciency of $50,000,000 has been discovered while Mr. Chase was Secretary of the Treasury, and equally easy for the Demo crat to assume it as a fact, .and then inti mate that Harper's Weekly, Leslies Ill ustrated, &<•. were bought to be loyal.— The Harpers and Frank Leslie will hard ly sleep soundly for the remainder of their lives after this discovery of the Democrat. It appears to us the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun who, by his own ac count, spent one dr. Lindsay, of blood searcher notoriety. jgsar Howell Cobb, Buchanan's rebel Secretary of the Treasury, who swindled the people out of at least $-50,000,000 by de signed mismanagement, is on the stump for " niy policy." BgL, A shop in Baltimore was set on tire lust week by the agency of a warped pane of glass in a window, which acted as convex lens, and concentrated the sun's rays upon a pile of cumbustible material, causing it to take fire. On the leg and thighs of Mr. Jones, who was killed by lightning the other day, in Piqua, Ohio, and on the back of his little son, was daguerreotyped a per fect image of the tree under which they were standing at the time of the accident. fitsßT* Whether the Republican Congress has done anything for white people dur ing its recent session, will soon be dis covered by the release of many taxes on farmers, mechanics, and workingmen generally. The fact is there has not been one-half as much nigger in Congress as there is on the brains of Clyiner's loafers. Among the regiments which the Harrisburg Patriot and Union attempts to disparage is the 201 st. The best of the joke is that the President of the Harris burg Clymer Club was its Colonel and his brother second in command. A soldier who lost both hands in the war was furnished with a hand organ, and, with his son, a young lad, iias trav eled a year or two in the vicinity of Bos ton, with remarkable success, having al ready accumulated $15,000, the generous contributions of the charitable. We are glad to notice the appear ance of the Central Courier, a new repub lican paper, at Selinsgrove, Snvder coun ty, and we trust it will be liberally sup ported, the other papers there being too busily engaged in carrying petty offices on their shoulders, to attend to anything | else. tfeaU Ex-Alderman James T. Harmer, a noted democratic rowdy, was shot to , death on Wednesday evening, at the tav ern ot Mr. Peek, corner ofpassvunk road and Federal street, Philadelphia, by Jas. Bastian, in self-defence. Mr. Bastian im mediately proceeded to the (Central station and surrendered himself to the authori ties. iSrif" Recently two men drove up to a , toll gate near Washington. Ohio, in a j spring wagon. During a dispute which ; one of the men had with the gate keeiier ; about a counterfeit bill, the other man, a ! Mr. Chas. Scott, turned around on his I seat to get at his pocket book, when he lost his balance, and fell off the wagon i backwards, alighting on his head, ami breaking his neck instantly. B*i±,. A soldiers' convention, composed principally of green back officers, was held [at Harrisburg last Wednesday, which , gravely resolved that tliev were'the only ; lamest men and patriots in the land, that : all others were counterfeits and disunion ists, swore they were better than the nig i and then adjourned to hear Clymer. i Wallace, and other copperheads deliver , da courses on every subject except their j war record. The thing itself was a good i deal of a fizzle. fair A. H. Stephens of Georgia, in a i lecent letter says: "The public good is I ui\ otih object. How best, to subserve • that consistently with truth, honor, and ; uiii ightness, is the only question with I me. 1 his man took oaths six times to • support the Constitution of the U.S., then ' tuined rebel and took the rebel oath, and is now willing to take tlie first again.— \\ hat would a jury think of the truth, honor and uprightness of an aecoramada ting witness of this kind?
