by Tennessee.

the Restoration of all the people of the
Rebel States to full citizenship, and j

A Solema Truth !
One of the speakers at the Republican
meeting on Monday, uttered a great truth
wneii he -aid thequestion was WHETH
ER WE SHOULD RECONSTRUCT
THE REBE LB, OR WHETHER
THEY SHOULD RECONSTRUCT
US?
Our Candidate lor Congress.
The Democrat is still trying to hammer !
away at Mr. Morrell, whom it calls all
kinds of names, such as Yankee, oppres
sor of the poor, <kc. Mr. Morrell has i
been a resident of Pennsylvania since he !
was fourteen years of age, has built up a I
business which has made Johnstown and 1
the surrounding country a large and thri- !
ving town, enhancing property to the
amount of millions, is known among 1
workmen and laborers as the best and 1
most liberal iron master in the State, and '
in acts of genuine kindness and benevo- j
lenee has probably given away more than |
any ten men in Cambria county. There
are men at Freedom Iron Works, some
democrats we think at that, who have
worked for him—ask them what charac
ter he bears among working men.
On the other hand, R. L. Johnston, !
who is again a candidate for Congress, de- j
nounced by d> u ate ruts two years ago as a i
vile copperhead and the greatest scamp in
it! Have they changed, or has hef
Tlie Gazctt and .>1 r. Willi*.
AN hen some of this gentleman's self- 1
constituted friends undertook to assail the i
editor of the Gazette, we did not deem it ■
necessary to retort personally, but turned i
our attention to the candidates who were
soliciting office at the hands of the peo
ple. After the publication of our last pa
per. Mr. \\ illis called on us to say that he
disclaimed all knowledge of Such vituper
ation, that it in no sense met with his
approbation, and that he had no design
or intention to disparage us in reading to
others or giving away a paper.eontaining
such attack. He also offered in explana
tion that his appointment as Brigade
Commissary compelled him to keep liquor
for sale to officers, but that preceding
the great battles which ended in theover
throw of Lee, lie refused many orders
issued by regimental officers, on authori
ty given him by Gen. Hartrunft.
Without any understanding that we
would do so, we give Mr. Willis the ben
fit of his explanations—as we would to
any one who felt aggrieved at what might
appear in the Gazette, from Hiester C'lv
nier town to Butler, the coalition candi
date lor Auditor. But admitting all that
is claimed, can a single reason be alleged
why any republican should vote for him,
in preference to either Brown or Whar
ton ? He occupies the equivocal position
of being a half-way republican, a John
son, and a half and half patent demo
cratic candidate, which in these times
don't suit anybody. The republicans
want a live republican, while the copper
heads want nothing short of a snake.—
As for "the rest of mankind," we doubt
whether they know what they want—un
less it be an office.

;Ur. Npeecli.
It is almost needless to say that, with
the exception of bigoted partisans who
could not see the most glaring inconsis
tencies if presented in a party view, near
ly all were disappointed in Mr. Clymer's
speech 011 Thursday last at the coalition
meeting.* There was a want of candor,
coupled with a vein of egotism which
seemed to imply that, in his own opinion
at least, nobody in Pennsylvania except
himself was rir'to be Governor. His dis
respectful language towards Gen. Geary,
abuse of Thaddeus Stevens, and his refer
ences to the *• nigger." thy the by rather
a ticklish subject for Mr. C. to refer to,)
w*re decidedly in had taste, and only
served to show that he resorted to the
demagogue's arts because he could pre
sent no valid arguments in his favor.—
His attempt to defend Ins course during
the war was so puerile, that any man of
ordinary intelligence could have refuted
all he said by a few pertinent questions.
Among other things he gave as a reason
for not voting for the soldiers because the
Senate, he said, was not organized. In
saying tljis Mr. Clymer made one of the
most unfortunate references he could have
made, for that one act alone of keeping
the Senate disorganized, during one of the
darkest periods of the war, was enough to
consign any politician to a greater infamy
than was ever bestowed on a Hartford
Convention Federalist. We will go back
with our readers to tiiat time and see
wiiat the condition of things were. The
Senate then stood 17 Union men to 16
Copperheads—for their conduct showed
they all belonged to that class—but one
1 nion Senator, Col. Harry White, patri
otically answered the call for soldiers, was
taken prisoner, and confined in Libby
prison ; and although President Lincoln,
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, offered to give the rebels a General
officer in exchange, tiie rebel government
i; KFi Si.D. unci there A# good reason far be.-
tievh fj this refusal was an understood
matter between the Copperheads of Penn
sylvania and the rebels, for shortly after
the organization of the Senate, Col. White
was released. When we look at the fact
that Clymer and his associates could gain
nothing politically by his resignation,
because Col. White's district was strongly
Union- -that their course stopped all leir
i-lation called for bv a perilous war for
months —and that it was only entailing a
heavy and needless expense on the tax
payers, the enormity of their conduct
must be apparent to every one. Col.
White had sent his resignation to his
father, to he used only in case he could
not be exchanged; and all efforts to in
duce Clvmer and his friends to organize
the Senate having failed, the resignation
was handed in and Dr. St. Clair elected
by a large majority. Had Mr. Clymer
had one spark of patriotism in his bosom,
he could have organized the Senate by
his vote any day, but instead of doing so,
he did his best to keep a brother Senator,
who had gallantly entered the army, in a
rebel prison as lone/ as lie could. These
are facts, of such recent occurrence and so
well known, that no soldier need be re
minded of them. What think those gal
lant men of such a legislator, and with
what consistency can any soldier support
a man who cannot lay his finger on a
single speech, during the entire war, giv
ing them encouragement and sympathy?
Well did Gen. Grant say of this same
Hiester Clymer, that "TO ASK ANY SOL
DIER to vote for such a man, of at one
time known disloyalty, against another
who had served four years in the Union
army with credit to himself and benefit
to his country, WAS A GROSS INSULT."

The Democrat insists on it that the

argue that it confers it on women and

THE GREAT MEETING.
An Unprecedented Gathering.
Tlie greatest meetings probably ever
held in this county came off on Thursday
of last week and Monday last—the first a
coalition meeting, the latter a Union Re
publican. The coalitionists ransacked the
county from one end to the other, and be
tween money, threats, entreaties, and
free jiassages, supposed they could get up
a demonstration that would tell too effect
ually to be overmatched. The day was
fine, and their procession large, but as for
their speakers there was little said above
mediocrity, the main themes being de
nunciation of Congress, Gen. Geary, and
other Unionists, with any amount of nig
ger. About all any sensible man could
have gathered from their arguments was
that rebellion was no crime, and that if
we would not forthwith re-admit these
rebels to all the political privileges they
had before enjoyed and at the next appor
tionment give them still more, there
would be another war—but who was to
make or get up this terrible war even the
valiant blatherskite who talked of wading
knee deep in blood did not tell.
The Union Republicans not being able
to secure speakers on any other day, were
compelled to take Monday, which pre
vented much preparation that might oth
erwise have been made. But the ladies
went to work with a will —the men like
wise—and in a few hours Lewistown pre
sented a scene of decoration never before
equaled jiolitically. Wreaths, flags, paint
ings, flowers, Ae., met the eye in all di
rections, so many of them worthy of spe
cial notice that we would not know where
to begin to particularize. By ten o'clock
the sidewalks in Market street were alive
with human beings passing to and fro,
fully indicating what was to come.
About an hour afterwards, Brig. Gen.
John P. Taylor. Chief Marshal, with his
aids, appeared at tiie head of the various
delegations from ihe Valley, Derry, De
catur, and a portion of Granville. A long
line of horsemen, so long that it filled
Third street from one end to the other,
passed before the wondering crowds on
tlie walks. Mid still the cry arose that the
end was not yet. Altera while came wa
gons and other vehicles filled to their ut
most capacity, nearly all decorated with
evergreens, banners, and other devices,
conspicuous among which were several
live ducks, a live coon, Ac. The appear
ance of this linedecided the day, for those
coalitionists who had imagined and ho]>ed
there would be but a feeble demonstra
tion, at once caved in and acknowledged 1
the corn, for men were in its ranks who i
had not been >een in political processions j
for many years ; besides, they knew that
even then another vast outpouring of the j
people, headed by thirty-six ladies rep re- ;
senting theditierent States, was approach
ing from the west, the yeomanry of j
Wayne, Newton Hamilton, Oliver, Brat
ton, MeVeytown, and upper Granville, j
having furnished delegations of which j
they may well feel proud. We have ;
neither time nor room to particularize—it ■
is sufficient to say it was the greatest and
finest political demonstration ever made !
on the streets of Lewistown.
Old Armagh had a coin pa nv of Boys in
Blue mounted, who were lustily applaud
ed. Thejy! were three hundred and ten
horsemen from the valleys, and one hun
dred and eighteen wagons, carriages, Ac.
Preceded by the McVeytown Band came
the Up-River delegations, headed by a
carriage, in which stood a little rosy-faced
elf, Miss 11. V. Stephenson, of McVey
town, daughter of Rev. Stephenson, a
chaplain in the army. She was robed to
personate Victory; her bearing, her beau
ty, and her golden ringlets, made a splend
id picture and evoked vociferous plaud
its. She was followed by thirty-six la
dies (dressed in black to defy eopper
shriekers,) who rode most gracefully.—
Then came two hundred more horsemen, j
and wagons innumerable; the whole con- j
stituting a procession seldom equaled in j
our large counties. It is impossible to de
scribe the enthusiasm that pervaded the j
immense concourse that filled the square, j
streets and houses, or to more than men
tion the names of the eloquent speakers,
Generals Harriman, Lee, Pierce, Hons. •
I). Krause, and P. F. Smith, Prof. Mil
ler, and John M. Kennedy, Esq., whose
powerful arguments, truth-telling thun- i
ders, and unfoldings of the Copper-John
son sophistries, occupied the whole after
noon and evening. The speakers' stand
was erected in front of the Lewistown
House, and with its decorations reflected
much credit on all concerned in its con
struction and tasteful arrangement. A
Glee Club, on a portico above the speak
ers' stand, interluded the proceedings
with appropriate National and other songs,
drawing forth thunders of applause. Thus
ended one of the grandest days ever wit
nessed in little Mifflin. 44 Nigger shriek
ers'' are effectually silenced, their grand
hobby crushed, and their other staple ;
lies were entirely extinguished. Little
Mifflin is ours.

I
Falsehood Corrected—Soldiers'
Bounties.
j To the lid it or of the Press:
Silt: Every Copperhead orator, every
| Copperjohnson newspaper in the State,
persists in asserting that Congress has vo
! ted a larger bounty to the black soldier
! than the law gives to the white soldier.—
Now, let us look at the facts of the case :
Previous to the passage of the acts of
June loth, ISB4, (section 2 , and July 4th,
IS'J4 section 1), but few. if any, of the col
ored troops were entitled to any bounty.
These acts merely placed the colored sol
dier ujion the some footing " a< other sol
diers of the regular or volunteer forces of
the United .States of like arm of the ser
vice." I quote the exact words of the
law.
The only discrimination that exists is
in favor of the white soldier, who, by the
act of July 28, lXttfi, is entitled to an EX
TRA not XTY ofone hundred dollars, which
the colored soldier does not get. These
Copjjerjohnson orators and newspapers
know, or ought to know, that these are
the facts of the case. It is true that the
colored man who served two years can
get. and many of them have been paid.
£l<N bounty: so has the white man : but
the white man, by the act of July 28,186tf,
is entitled to ANOTHER £IOO, which the
colored soldi/ r cannot get , its there were
no colored troops in the service at the
time for which this >IOO extra bounty is
to be paid. This bill was signed by Pres
ident Johnson, and it is rather strange to
see the friends of the President trying to
bring discredit upon Congress for "passing
a bill which he himself approved, and
which would not have become a law
without his signature.
Why is this extra bounty of SIOO to the
while troops not paid ? The bill allowing
it lias passed both Houses of Congress
and been approved by the President.—
There is money enough in the treasury to
pay it; and if it is not paid, it is the fault
alone of the President and liis office-hold
ers. They are withholding the payment
of this extra bounty for no other purpose
than to influence the elections. Let the
white soldiers hold them responsible for
it. A WHITE SOLDIER.

\V. L. HAR\ EY, Agent, is happy to

Mifflin County, the first and second weeks
in October, 1800, to "supply it, to his sub
scribers. He will also take orders for and
furnish tlie entire work to all who make
early application.
Mr. Greeley's History of the Rebellion,
is everywhere recognized by fair minded
men of all parties, not only as the highest
authority, but greatly surpassing all other
works, both in conception of plan ami ex
cellence of detail, abounding in clear and
graphic delineations of events, candid and
accurate statements of facts, and marked
throughout by the most thorough and
painstaking research. It has been sub
jected to the most searching criticisms by
tlie press of all political parties and reli
gious denominations, and in not less than
one thousand notices and reviews, by the
most able journals,-not only in this coun
try, but also in Europe, its great superior
ity over all other works of the kind is
most emphatically attested, even by the
author's most determined political oppo
nents, This work contains an account of
all The battles, raids, skirmishes, Ac.;
while there were fifty important battles',
an account of which does not appear in
Head ley's or Abbott's, so called histories
of the war.
" It would be difficult to place too high
an estimate on tlie service Mr. Greelev
has rendered our country, by the prepara
tion of this volume. I "await the forth
coining of the 2d. vol. with eager expecta
tion." " WM. D. KELLEV, M. C."
" It bears the works of labor, studied
candor and accuracy." W. H. SEWARD.
'• Its accuracy gives it a value beyond
any other history of that eventful period.
1 hegreat industry and impartiality of (Mr.
Greeley will make this the best of all fu
ture histories of the Great Rebellion."
"THADDEUS STEVENS, M. C."
The Cincinnati Enquirer, a Democratic
paper, says of Greeley's History,—" It
contains a vast amount of information and
is altogether superior to any volume on
the subject that has yet appeared."
From the (London) Westminster Re
view:—" It is temperate and gives way to
no vituperation, although thoroughly in 4
earnest, and if we may admire the indus
try which has enabled the editor of the
: leading newspaper in America to do this
at such a time, we may still more admire
the spirit of fairness and directness which
characterize this very valuable work."
For the Gazette.
The Dentecrat and Hr. Jlorrell.
The Democrat is greatly exercised in
its last week's issue because, as it says,
Ak>rrell does not tolerate free speech or
fmslom at t.he_ ballot-box, among the
hands in his employ, at the risk of iteing
turned off*. This sounds strangely for a
Republican to do. hut for a Democrat it
would be regarded as a jierfect right! How
many of the numerous lock-tender.-, car
penters, stone-masons, mud Ikhscs and
" mud sills'' on the Renna. eanal in Mif
ffin county would dare to say a word
against the Democratic party, or do other
wise than vote the ticket? and we might
ask the same thing of several gangs on
the railroad. Canst answer, oh, Demo
crat ?
A charge of this kind comes with a bad
grace from a party whose open professm -
of expediency in every day life are in
strict accordance with what they charge
against Mr. Morrdl as a grave offence.
We speak from authority when we say
that the charge of tyranny against Mr.
Morrell is untrue, for we have it froiu his
own lips that he expects some of the Dem
i-rats employed in their works to vote
against him* and that no system of coer
cion will l>e practised with ids hands, by :
his authority, at the coming election.

Fall sweetly 'round thy tomb

Would hallow the-a,-red gloom.
We'll think of the faithful daughter and

On a bright, unfiuiing shore,
A happy, eternal life to spend
With the saints who've gone lien,re
We know that a Father's watchful eve
And a Saviour's gentle hand.
Can guide us to Thee, beyond theskv
To thy home in the spirit land.
