In the first place, it is not true that the
rebellion was put down by the Republi
can party. It was put down by the peo
ple, irrespective of party; and, if Horace
Greeley is to be believed, the war would
have ended two years sooner than it did.
had wiser counsels prevailed in President
Lincoln's Cabinet. In the second place,
is it not preposterous for any one toassei t
that greenback promises to pay are "the
best and safest currency" the world ever
saw ?
It takes to-day one dollar and forty cents
in greenbacks to buy one dollar in gold !
Could presumption go farther?— Dem
ocrat.
Yes, we assert that the rebellion was
put down by the Republican party. Your
great democratic copperhead Jerry Black,
as Attorney General, advised your great
democratic Buchanan that there was noth
ing in the constitution to coerce a State,
wle-n the Southern States were already
in rebellion, and that foolish old man fol
lowed this traitorous advice by repeating
the infamous sentiment in a message to
Congress. Many democrats wisely de
termined tosustain President Lincoln and
tine Republican party, but the copper
he ids, true to their instincts, opposed
the war by every means in their power,
opposed drafts, appropriations of money,
decried green backsand government bonds,
went into the army with reluctance, en
couraged deserters, robbed and cheated
the government wherever they could, and
at home woresmiling countenances when
rumors came that the rebels bad killed
ami wounded thousands of our brave sol
diers. Many of these men are now the
leaders of what you call the democracy,
and some of them arc up for ojfice in this
district
As for greenbacks, they are the best and
safest currency the world ever saw, lie
cause the United States Government is
responsible for every dollar Issued. The
farmer, mechanic, latioring or business
man, need have no care about banks
breaking as long as be has greenbacks,
because the breuking of a bank does not
ati'ect the value of those notes, nor need
he care whether it is issued in Maine,
Wisconsin, Florida, or Texas. Gold is
an article of commerce which no poor
man wants to buy, and to argue that be
cause it is at a premium our currency is
not good, is decidedly shallow. Green
backs buy lands, houses, food, and drink,
and gold can do no more.
When a copperhead says congressional
rec instruction is wrong, ask him what
bis plan is, aud what he would do? — Lew
istown Gazette.
Presuming that the Gazette, by its
choice term, "copperhead." means Dem
ocr t, we shall answer. Our plan is Pres
i lent Johnson's plan—a plan that is in
accord with the Coiistitutkmof tlio United '
States, which every officer in tiie land,
bab high and low, is sworn to obey. That
plan is to recognize States as States all the
tune; and when any number of citizens
rise in rebelliou, crush the rtJjels, not tiie
States. — De mocrat.
<,'RCIH THE REBELS!' NOW is not that
decidedly rich? We leave it to any in
telligent reader whether either Johnson
or the Democrat are not doing their best!
to restore these very rebels whom the
Democrat says ought to be crushed, to all
their former power, and thus, instead of
making TREASON* odious, convert it into
respectability. Besides, Andrew John
sou has no right to meddle in legislative
matters. It is his duty to execute, not to
make law?, and while, according to the
Constitution he can recommend plans to
Congress, he, JUas no business to play the
part -of. DioUtVor,pr Usurjier, and imagine
because he was onpe a tailor, then au al
derman, a"d then , became a drunken
President, as the pemocrat, the Harris
burg Patriot and Union pnd all the inter
mediate sheets up to that advocate of cop
j erheadism, the Philadelphia Age, pro
t-laimed over the length and bre# jth of the
land—he can do as lie pleases. The States
are there as they were before the.war; but
the rebels are not the States, as Andrew
Johnson and the Democrat want them.to
le.
Various notices, as well as sundry ad
vcrtiacmejits, will be attended to in our
i next.
The SelinsgroveTimes publishes a radi
cal document addressed to U. 8. bond
holders as an editorial leader. It is the
best editorial we ever saw in that,paper, j
Republicans talk as though they saved
the Union, notwithstanding the fact that
the Union is not even yet restored, and
j they are the only hindrance in the way.
As for the rebellion, it was crushed by the
united strength of the men of the North,
of ail parties, and it is even yet a matter
of doubt which party sent the*larger num
' tier. But a majority of the successful
| Generals in the Union army, everybody
knows, were Democrats.— Democrat.
Yes Congress is somewhat in the wa}*
'of the party which advocates the nou
: coercion doctrines, and will be as long its
the leading rebels will continue to talk
'about any right except the right of being
; hung. When they acknowledge the lat
: ter, Congress may forgive them, but not
1 before. All parties did not go in for the
war. Even in Pennsylvania, every cop
j perhcad tneinlier of the Senate except one
voted against arming our State against
rebel invasion, and when Lee was in sight
; of Harrisburg a so-called democratic state
j convention there neither supported the
Avar, nor had a word to say against the
1 rebels. And then read the Chicago Plat
i form, advocating a shameful fieaee which
none but cowards and sycophants to
.Southern traitors would have entertained
for a moment. HONEST DEMOCRATS (lid
support the war, and the wonder now is
to see them in company with and advo
cating the election of copperheads who
opposed it. The successful generals too
were democrats! Yes, we can recall to
ruind a few. Sheridan was a democrat,
land you now call him a "satrap;" Sickles
was a democrat, and you c-.JI him a "ty
rant;" Grant the cops once hoped was a
democrat, but we suppose by this time
they think his democracy is a little of the
Jackson republican stamp, and therefore
won't suit either Andy Johnson, the
rebels, or northern copperheads; and lie
sides, he will be the next republican
President, and that won't suit either.
Soldiers X Patent Democracy.
Why should any soldier vote what is
falsely called the democratic ticket, hut
which advocates no democratic doctrine
except the Southern theory of State Bights
—the causj of the late rebellion?
The Press truly says that during the
war those who now lead the democracy
were opposed to your voting any ticket at
all. The record of every election on the
soldier suffrage question shows that in
Mack and white. Had they had their
way, you, when in front of them on the
field, would have been eligible for taxa
tion, hut not for voting. In other words,
your political condition would have been
exactly that of negroes.
Every soldier has had his own life re
peatedly exposed hv the direct action of
the democratic party. Everybody knows
that the running of McCiellan, on a sur
render platform, prolonged the war just
one year. Every soldier who has heard
cheers for " McCiellan and Pendleton"
ring out from rebel trenches, or who has
taken or guarded rebel prisoners, knows
this, and cannot he talked out of it now.
And this is only one instance of demo
cratic aid and comfort to the enemy. Re
bei arms were strengthened ; rebel hearts
were made brave; rebel courage was sup
ported during all the war, by democratic
speeches, democratic newspapers, demo
cratic conventions. It is not imagination
to say that copperhead money pointed
rebel bayonets at your breasts and sped
rebel bullets to your hearts. This is a
consideration for the voting fathers and
brothers of tiie dead boys in blue
The democracy iris formally repudiated
you. In solemn convention assembled,
they have declared the war to be a failure,
—all your time, sufferings ami wounds to
be worthless. After its happy and auspi
cious termination they have declared its
results to be ' debt, slaughteranddisgraced
Your commander in chief they stigma
tized as an apo arid buffoon ; your gene
rals as butchers, beasts and brutes : your
selves as 'hirelings, 1 'tools,' 'slaves.' No
abuse lias been too low, no language too
insulting, for the private soldiers of the
army of the Union. Repudiate them.
The democracy have deserted you in
every hour of trial and danger. They
have opposed every draft, and thus impe
ded and delayed your reinforcements in
the face of death. They have systemati
cally labored to depreciate the national
currency and the public credit, thus low
ering your wages and raising the prices at
home on your wives and children. They
have magnified rebel victories and depre
ciated your exploits. You cannot, con
sistently with your past record, if it is a
clearone, vote for them or with them now.
Trust to no professions of friendship
now. They had none for you when you
were falling before rebel steel. They want
you now—need you—but do not love you
•any in ire to-day than when in the heat
of the conilict they denounced the draft
and left you unsupported in the trenches.
Soldiers, look around and see whether
the Woodwards, lliglcrs, Wallaces, Ail
eon as, au J others who opposed the war
aud its soldiers, are not the head and front
of democracy, u name they are using to
spread Calhoun's rebellious doctrines?
The Hollidaysburg Standard is full of
blood and tbunder stories about our sena
torial candidates, (ab< ut as true as stories
generally are) who it says are pledged to
"certain interests," and the valiant editor
up there has finally persuaded himself
that Patterson is a double candidate for
the Senate instead of Robison and Mc-
Vitty, and that if lieiselected he will stop
Traugh from fishing for trout, remove
Altoona to Patterson or Lewistown, dam
the Juniata somewhere about Hollidavs
burg so as to make the waters run over
the Alleghany into the Conemaugh, pre
vent tlie restoration of the State tax on
real estate, which it is understood Traugh,
alias McTntire <V Shugert, is in favor of,
and do many other things not agreeable
to eoppernoses. The contest therefore is,
Patterson vs. Traugh, each of whom will
probably have about one vote for Senator,
land that will be their own. Everybody
•else will vote for the farmer and tanner,
Robison and McVitty.
It Is all right for a patent de nocrat to
ixide by the side of a negro in a carriage,
, but an outrage to do the same in a rail
road car or other conveyance.
It all right for colored women to nurse
the child Jen of democratic whites, hutau
abomination when the same colored wo
j man travels and sets in the same ear
: with th i mother of the white child.
Dedication at Antietam.
The dedication of AntietAm Cemetery
came ofl' last week. The Maryland cojv
perlieads controlled the proceedings, and
i although Pennsylvania furnished nearly
half the troops at that liattle, our State
authorities were not invited. Several
Governors were there, and the soldiers
insisted on Gov. Geary speaking, which
;he did to some purpose. He said :
Fellow-citizen*:- After ail you have
heard to-day I had sup)K>sed you would
i want nothing more. The programme
i has been gone through with. It ojnmed
and closed with prayer. Those who were
; not invited must come in at the last hour;
t hat I remember when the conflict was
; waging here there was no hesitation in
invitingthe loyal Governors to participate,
j hy sending their troops to the field at An
tictam. But, my friends, although tin
loyal Governors have been left out of the
j programme, I thank God they have still
a place in the hearts of the people. When
'you come to Pennsylvania next July at
the dedication of the monument at Gettys
burg we will tender you the hospitalities
of the fstate, and jiermit every man to
j speak. We want to bear thanks to A1
mighty God for his preservation and care
:of this country. We will have no gag.
We will have no programme fortius pur
pose. Wehavenogagoii our programmes;
j but T am not here to say anything on that
; subject.
The orator of the day has presented,
with eloquence and faithfulness, many of
the historic incidents of the great battle
i we to-day seek to commemorate in the
I dedication of a cemetery in honor of the
heroic dead, who "Died that the govern
i meut of the people, by the people, and for
the people, should not perish from the
earth.''
The battle of Antietam was fought un
der circumstances of great depression on
the part of the Union forces. The Army
of the Potomac was greatly demoralized
by the disastrous campaigns on the Pen
! insula and 111 Northern Virginia, and
j from the loss of 12,000 men who had just
1 been captured at the shameful surrender
at Harper's Ferry. While the same cir
cumstances were calculated to, and doubt
less did, animate the rebel army with
great entliusiam and daunt less determina
tion, so that when the first gun was tired
at Antietam, Bee's army had a basis of
victory to begin with.
The effect, then, which followed the
collision of the two gre it armies upon
this battle-field must le regarded as some
j what different from that in which we
view any other contest which preceded
or followed it, and but little argument is
required to show that the victory of An
tietam, to be properly appreciated, must
be measured by the most liberal logic
known to military ethics. As an evidence
the Army of the Potomac suffered a loss
of about twelve thousand in killed ami
wounded, while that acknowledged by
the rebel army scant ly exceed nine thou
sand; yet Lee was compelled to fiv, under
tiie shadow of night, from U'tore a foe
who in he had so dreadfully punished, and
I thus acknowledging himself vanquished,
admitted a clear ami undisputabie victory
to the Union arms.
Had this battle resulted differently, both
Washington and Baltimore would have
been exposed, and the rebel cavalry could
have refreshed their horses in the waters
of the .Susquehanna, and perhaps even in
those of the Hudson before the people of
the North could have recovered from the
panic which had seized upon the public
mind. But thanks—unnumbered thanks
—for the dauntless valor of the glorious
Army of the Potomac, not only was the
foe beaten ami the country saved Irotn
deep humiliation, but the arrogant as
sumptions of superior valor, so vaunting
ly advertised by Lee an.l his followers,
were utterly dispelled, and he ami they
forced to fi v for safety beyond the waters
of the Potomac.
By Antietam's thunderbolts the Gov
merit escaped the dangers by which it was
menaced, and the people of the North
were saved from the terrible ravages of
an invading army. Most appropriate is
it then that a cemetery should he here
prepared for the reception of the remains
of the heroes who gave up their lives on
this field that the nation might live, ami
a suitable monument be erected to their
memory. Whatever may be said of tin-
Army of the Potomac, as connected with
the battle of Antietam and Gettysburg,
will preserve its reputation in glor'v while
martial valor is prized and individual
fortitude and heroism honored among
men.
I presume it will not be deemed inap
propriate for me to place 011 record here
| the numbers of those military organiza
tions of Pennsylvania which participated
'in this battle. I believe 110 such record
| lias leen made public, and, therefore, it
i affords ine great gratification to lie ena
bled to take advantage of this opportuui
-1 ty to assert for Pennsylvania her proper
share in the honors which surround this
battle-field.
These troops were as follows, viz:
The 3d, 4th, bth,Bth,aud 16th Bcgiments
of Cavalry.
Batteries A, B, and F, of Ist Artillery
Reserve Corps.
Batteries C, D, and E, Independent Ar
tillery.

12Sth, 130 th, 132 d, 139 th, 147 th, and 155 th
Infantry Regiments.
Making in all fifty regiments of infan
try, five of cavalry, and six batteries of
artillery furnished by the Keystone State
in the battle of Antietam. The otlieial.
records and reports of the battle from
which I derive these facts are replete with :
acknowledgements of the splendid aervi- 1
ces rendered by these men in the great,
conflict, and as a Penusylvaniait I am
proud thus to adduce the facts of history,
to prove that my native State, here as
elsewhere during the war, lent the full
strength of her numbers, as well as the
influence of her wisdom, in carrying the
Government to a glorious victory. Thus
she was in the late war, thus it has ever
j been, and thus it will be with Pennsvl
j vauia whenever liberty or the perpetuity
of the Union is assailed.
While thus careful to preserve the re
cord of Pennsylvania's participation in
the events which make this locality clash
! ground, no selfish feeling of State pride,
110 contracted desire to monopolise so
, great an honor fo • my own people, can
, induce me to deprive others of their full
share of the glory of Antietam. The
! loyal soldiers of the country won this
| victory, and the memories of the citizens
<>f Maine, New York, Ohio, Maryland,-
Michigan, lowa, or of other States who]
perished here while contending for the
| Union, are just as dear and will be hal
lowed as sacredly by the people of Penn
sylvania as the memories of their own
beloved sons who here lie buried.
The blood of the North, of the East, j
and of the West flowed in the same -acred
stream, and broke from the same ranks
to crimson the waters of Antietam, and
when the chill morning dawned upon the !
scene of carnage, the Union dead from
every section were mingled upon the field
of strife. They are brothers still beneath ,
the same sod, and while the dew contin
ues to fall from Heaven upon their union
in the grave, our children and their chil
dren's children will come to worship.at !
this shrine, to show their reverence for
the patriotic dead, and to express their
grateful admiration for the memories of
those who perished that they might live
as freemen, in a preserved Republic, where
"the will of the people is the law of tliej
land," and where its execution is equally
binding as a duty upon the most exalted
as well as the humblest of its citizens. I j
have been speaking repeatedly for the last!
two days, and will therefore conclude my
remarks. There are here Governor Fen
ton. the Governor of Maine and others,
whom I have no doubt you will be glad
to hear.
