The Senatorial Conference completed its laliors last week by nominating Col. J. K. ROBISON, of Juniata county, and SAM UEL MCVITTY, Esq., of Huntingdon, as candidates for the Senate from this dis trict. Personally we could have wished f>r the nomination of I"). W. Woods, Esq., but where several counties comprise a dis t ict, and all save one presented a can didate, individual preferences must give way to the will and judgment of those delegated to make a selection. Col. Rob ison served with distinction during tin war, and as a citizen stands high in his native county, while Mr. McVitty is an estimable and well-informed man. exten sively known, so that the people may re ly upon having faithful sentinels to at tend to tiieir interests. It now only re mains for the Union men of the district to see that they are elected; and es]>eeial- Iy is It the tluly of those counties not hav ing candidates to see that a full vote is jtolled for the Supreme Judge, Senators, and Assembly, as we are as much interes ted in the general result as if we had both Senator and Assembly candidates from our midst, for three years lienee we may ask the same favor at the hands of other counties. Our candidates for Assembly are also unexceptionable. Mr. Wharton has had a year's experience, and proved himself an able legislator. Captain Wil s >a served with distinction under Gen. J >hn P. Taylor of this county, and of hi ability it is sufficient to say that he is ed itor of the Mifiiintown Sentinel. In our local ticket hut little issue seem ed to have been at stake until invited by the patent democratic meeting in the Town Hall, where by the adoption of the following resolutions they placed Messrs. McFadden, Nageny, &c., on the Vallan dighara-Pendleton platform of peace at any price, mixed with random assertions worthy of Baron Munchausen or Sin bud the Sailor. Read and wonder: 'l. That blood, oppression and taxation hive been the fruits, and the only fruits, tiie country has realized from Republican ] gislation. We challenge Republicans to p lint out one single good result that has f .(lowed any one of their acts. 4. That it is a historical fact that the country always prospered, and United States taxes were entirely unknown , when lHe democratic party was in power; and eicrefofu the onJ_> lnqie uf 1 calming good times, cheap living, small taxes, and a siiecie currency, lies in the restoration of the Democratic party to the administru t.on of government, State and National. In plain language these resolutions re-, gret that the people of the North and West did not prove themselves the most contemptible COWARDS that ever walked on the face of the earth, for any one save! a brainless fool must know that if there hail been no war and no taxation, this ountry would have been rent asunder, and Pennsylvania be at this day the serf of Jef Davis, or a border .State daily and hourly liable to invasion or raids hv chiv alrous "niggcr-catcliere." To the nonsensical challenge to point out a single good thing the republican par ty has done, it will be sufficient to say ; that among many good things it accom plished two great things, to wit: Putting down the most villainous rebellion ever got up, and giving the country the best and safest currency to laboring classes and all others the world ever saw. How far there is truth in the assertions that this country always prospered under what is called democratic rule, and that United States taxes were totally unknown, is best met by history, and exhibits the committee, consisting of two lawyers and one editor, as badly read schoolboys. Our opinion from reading the history of this country is, that United States taxes were imposed during the adrainist "ation of James Madison—that a terrible revulsion occurred in prices of property during Monroe's administration which ruined thousands upon thousands—that the peo-, pie lost millions by irresponsible .State, Banks—that in 1832-3, during Gen. Jack son's administration, Calhoun, as the leader of the Southern democracy, at tempted to get up a rebellion, but was put down by Old Hickory—that in 1837, dur ing Van lturcn'sadministration, the whole country was convulsed by failures anil depression in business—that ten years| [afterward, under Polk, we had another crisis—and subsequently under the "mod el" Buchanan, in a time of peace, the | government was daily creating an im | mense debt, and had so little credit that it was borrowing money at usurious rates —that the same administration stoodqui jetlv by and suffered a gang of perjured i traitors to control its counsels while liateh ' ing a gigantic rebellion; that under it the cold-blooded, tyrannical and inhuman • doctrine that a colored man had no rights which a white man is bound to respect • was promulgated, and that there was no thing in the Constitution authorizing the President to coerce a .State, or in other words put down a rebellion! These are but a moiety of history, and prove one !of two things, to wit: that these admin i istrations were not democratic, or else j that the resolutions are what is vulgarly called gammon. Be that as it may, the patent democra cy have placed their candidates upon an ignoble platform, and to that let the voters hold them. "The prominent features of Mclntyre's speech were 'States' Rights. The Consti tution, Nigger, and The Taxes;'and to avoid giving them anything iike same ness of expression lie introduced with a line effect, and the variety of expression of which lie was capable, concerning 'The Constitution, States' Rights, Taxes, ami The Nigger;' and, as was expected, the ' Gleet proved ponderous." The above, together with a tirade on "radical misrule," was the sum and sub stance of C. J. T. Melntyre's speech at Bellefonte, as it was here, and no doubt in ail other parts of the district. He has no word of condemnation of the rebels, but his whole aim and object seem to be to prove that he is as good a copperhead as any white-skinned shrieker Jef Davis had in the North during the rebellion. He prides himself on having supported the war, yet in the same breath alleges that had he foreseen the results, the de mocracy would not have embarked in it! What is the dillerence between such lan guage and tiie language of Southern traitors? Not a particle. He might as well at once say that himself and his democratic friends were sorry that the re bellion had jailed , and that he would sooner serve under the rule of Davis and his treason than under republican rule, even if the latter is the will of the people. Whatever evils have fallen upon the South, have been the result of their own ob-tinacy. At the outset of the rebellion . President Lincoln invited them to lay ■ down their arms, and receive forgiveness. ! Twice was that oli'er renewed, but in each ease treated with ridicule and contempt, and finally the Emancipation Proclama tion was issued, though with some reluc tance. When the war closed, Congress offered the most magnanimous terms ever ottered to a conquered people uiroiigh the Constitutional Amendments, but those who under the Constitution had forfeited life and property, hardened in heart and supercilious in pride, rejected tiie peace offering with scorn, it was then only that the "supreme law of the land" dis franchised the loyal black man. Igno rance and stupidity, coupled with upstart folly, may not see the hand of Providence in these unexpected and stupendous revo , luteins of society, but if the lessons of history are worth an\tiling this Nation must avail itself of the inevitable results , of treason and crime, or stand prepared . for a still mightier judgment which may involve the North in as complete . ruin as the South entailed on itself by its • rebellion. Spain has recalled her fleet from tiie Pa cific Ocean. "Hunting" is said to be first rate as game is quite scarce. , When a copperhead says congressional ' reconstruction is wrong, ask him what his plan is, or what he would do? A number of colored soldiers were re -1 cently killed and wounded in a fight | the Indians. According to copperhead , democracy, that number of white men i ought to have been scalped, as blacks have no business to lie soldiers. We have at last two democratic modes ' of relief. Pendleton proposes to issue J greenbacks enough to wipe out the na tioiiMi debt, ami Ynllaiidingham goes in for repudiation. Is there statesmanship, honor or honesty in either? The new constitution of Maryland, concocted principally by rebels, provides 1 that no minister or preacher of the Gos pel shall lie eligible as Senator or Delegate. This looks a little as if the bigger the ras cal the more tit for legislator. The Bellefonte Watchman says S. T. Shugert, their candidate for Senator, never sought office. How, then, says the Press, does it happen that he and his sons have done nothing hut hold public office or public employment for the last twenty years? We do not say that all republicans are either honest or patriotic, but we do say that when such men like Mr. Mclntyre, : in a crisis such as our country stands in, denounces the men and measures which saved the Union, HE IS UNFIT TO BE TRUSTED. Almost every act done by Johnson's orders seems to create further difficulties for the Southern people. The removal of Gen. Sickles for an alleged interference in restraining the collection of an old debt which the U. S. Marshall of North Caro lina had in hand, if followed up, will ruin every man there. Sickles' order did not interfere with transactions since the war, but under the law of Congress had sus pended the collection of old claims in the same way as our legislature has frequent . ly passed stay laws. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says: Among tiie clerks in tin Treasury Department is a man who is a brother of an ex-rebel Commodore who, at the time of General Early's at -1 tack on this city, went through the lines to the rebel headquarters, and informed General Early that the city was defended by militia only, and could easily le taken. For this act he was taken and tried and isentenced to he hung. Ho was subse quently pardoned, and is now making up for lost time as a clerk in the Government 'employ. General Amnesty. The President's proclamation of amnes ty to the rebels was issued on Sunday hist. The only persons excepted are the Presi dent and Vice President, heads of depart ments, representatives to foreign govern meats, officers of the army above the grade of brigadier general, naval officers above the rank of captain, those who maltreated our prisoners, and those who were in any way connected with the plot loassassinnte President Lincoln. The New York Tri bune denies the power of the President to grant amnesty; it argues he can grant re prieves and pardons, but that Congret-s lias the sole right to grant a general am nesty. There appears to be loree in the argument. Vermont held her State election, on Tuesday of last week. The Republicans elect their candidate for Governor (Page; by at least 20,0'K) majority over his Dem ocratic competitor (Edwards;. The Leg islature chosen is largely Republican. — Wilmington, Delaware, lias just elected a Republican Mayor. There seems to be no doubt that the Copperheads of California were allowed to elect their candidates for Governor and other State offices, by the bickering and unreasonable differences which prevailed in the Republican ranks of that State. M. H. Jolly, Esq., lias commenced the publication of a new paper ut Tyrone, Pa. called the Bulletin. The Preston (W. Va.) Journal, publish ed by Levi Klauscr, formerly of Perry county, has been enlarged to a seven col umn paper, and presents a creditable ap pearance. The Juniata Republican appeared last week with David Wilson, Esq., as its editor. It has our ticket at its head, and advocates republican principles. Eleven persons were fined ten dollars each in New York on Tuesday, for cruelty to animals. Captain \V. 11. Hale, of the marine corps, died at Pensacola on the 2Mb ult., of yellow fever. A programme of the dedicatory cere monies of the Antietani National Ceme tery is nearly perfected. Two hundred vessels will be employed this season in shipping oysters from Nor folk to Northern ports. Duncan, the Andersonville Commissa ry, sentenced to fifteen years imprison ment, has escaped from Fort Pulaski. General tickles has appointed Beverly Nash, a prominent negro of Columbia, S. C., to be a Police Magistrate. Nash is a copperhead. Nine persons were drowned by the up setting of a boat on Lake Ontaria, near the town of Ontario, on Tuesday after noon of last week. It is reported that the Church property in Austria is to be sold, and the proceeds applied to the liquidation of the national debt. Ex-Senator James A. MeDougall, of 1 California, died at Albany, N. Y., on Tuesday a week. Ex-Governor Win. B. Campbell of Tennessee also died recently. F. C. Arms, Esq., of Sunbury, has been i called to Missouri to take charge, asChief Engineer, of a new railroad now in pro gress between Louisiana and St. Louis. For every three days of active service, General Sheridan sent in two captured rebel Hags, and for every two days a cap tured camion. In Berkley, Va., one day last week, a son of Mr. Fielding took a notion for water-melon, and ate a whole one, some apples and candy, and on Sunday night was a corpse. A little daughter of \Vm. Chaddback, of Phelps, Ontario county, N. Y., lately got hold of a bottle containing poison, drank the contents, and was dead in a few minutes. The planing mill of Lanox, Palmer A Co., at Golden City, Colorado, was re cently burned. It was one of the largest | establishments of the kind in the Terri tory. Loss, $20,000; no insurrau-e. The Republican .State Convention ol Wisconsin met at Madison 011 Wednes day. Resolutions were unanimcu-Iy adopted complimenting Stanton and Sher idan, and favoring the impeachment of President Johnson. One and a half bushels of Goodrich po tatoes were planted by John Van Tassal, of Fishkill Plains, last spring. They have just been dug, and 120 bushels have been produced, all large and free from disease. The London Review, after picturing tie social status of Ramsgate, Margate, and other English watering places, think that if God made the country, and man the town, the devil must be responsible for the sca-side. All excited horse race took place at If fczheiMi, near Baden, on Tuesday a week. Many of tiie notabilities of Europe were on the ground. All the nations of tlu Continent and Great Britain had equine representatives. France carried oil' tin prize. What a spectacle is presented before the country to-day! General Sickles, a gal lant and accomplished officer, is raked over the legal coals by a lawyer who, dur ing the rebellion, was removed from office because he would not take the oath oi loyalty. \\r.4\TEß>. —A girl to tlo housework t V in a family whore there are noehil jdren.
