As FATHER AIMAnil( is devoted to no clique, faction or self-constituted lenders, but only to the interests of the great Republican party, and the triumph ant election of its candidates, we respect fully decline publishing the communica tion of " Radical." We do not suppose that the autkor of the article really in tended to drag us into any petty contro versy betwee&cuLtain leaders of faction, •hut, we do not see how we could grat ify him without danger of becoming our Iselves mixed up with these unfortunate; frUitless wrangles over mere spoils.

Our vic torious General shall then mount the pinnacle of fame, twice.dignified by Washington, twice honored by onr Lincoln." To which General Grant replied in these significant sentences: GENTLEMEN OF TEE COMMITTEE OF SOL- EnF ArL SAILORS I will say that it was never a desire cf mine to be a candidate for any political office. It is a t.ource of gratification to me to .fiel that I hare the support of those who sustained nie through the great rebellion which we Aare passed. If I did not. feel I had the Purport of these, I would herer hare romented to be a candidate. It was not a matter of choice with' hie, and I hope, as I have accepted, that I have your aid and support, from now until November, us I had it during the rebellion. If the Union soldiers and sailors, and the millions who revere the memory of the glorious dead and honor the patriotic living, accept the " plan of battle" and faithfully adhere to it, the campaign upon which we have entered will close as triumphantly 'as the campaign upon Richmond. What one of these countless masses will refuse to respond to General Grant's appeal for his support? Who that sustained him during the war will fail him now ? Who that fought for the old flag will stand aloof from the Great Captain that bore it to viefory? Who that prayed for him in the field will not toil for him at the ballot-box? Who that subscribed money to the cause for which he fought will not now subscribe to give us a President in the conquering General`? What soldier's widow, or soldier's or phan, will not call down blessings upon the Chief PAT the army who made all that followed his auspicious stars immortal in a nation's gratitude? • To the active men of the Republican party. Col. Alleman's " plan of battle" is the chart that will lead to overwhelm ing majorities for our illustrious leader. You secured the national credit, the national honor, reconstruction, suffrage, and the rights and interests of the peo , pie by following it with fidelity. Let our clubs organize in the spirit of ' this " plan of battle." Let our public speakers take text and council front it. Let us borrow the mottoes of the army for our songs, our newspapers, our 1 pamphlets, and our rostrums. Let our processions gleam with the shining sabres and bayonets of the Union veterans. - - ; EMI CM WM Let us revive in all its terrible truth the sympathy of the rebel Democracy with these foes of humanity and free dom. LET US MOVZON THE ENEMY'S WORKS WITH A SHOUT, AND A GLORIOUS VIC TORY AWAITS USI It was given in evidence before the Corrunittee on the contested election case last winter, that Mark Leddy and two well dressed strangers, said to be from Philadelphia, met at a point on the Philipsburg and Clearfield railroad, and proceeded to a shanty on the line of the road, kept by a Mrs, Lynch, and there put the bogus papers through what is called the coffee process "—that is, staining them with strong coffee—thus giving them the appearance of age. It would be well for Inspectors of elections to examine all certificates of natoraliv.- tion offered them at future elections, to learn whether they have been submitted to the coffee process. It can sometimes be detected by the smell. This however is not an infallible test, as tobacco and other substances may sometimes be used as deodorizers.

We fully endorse the above article, and heartily congratulate the fifteen thousand true and well tried Republicans of this great county upon the good prospect of being represented in Congress for at least one more term by the greatest and purest statesman now living. It seems almost like a special dispensation of Providence that we are permitted to enter upon the great and highly important political campaign of 1868 without being annoyed by mere " pretenders " who may be anx iously watching and waiting for the great Commoner to pass away, in the vain hope of securing his place.

Thousands of conservative soldiers will gather as the representatives of a mighty host in New York on Independence day. • • • Not the unscathed colonels, the brevet-briga diers who never saw a battle, the corpulant commissaries, the puffy paymaster and the sleek sutlers; but the battle-scarred veterans who were the first to volunteer and the last to be mustered out; not the holiday soldiers, but the heroes of the east and the West, the men who breasted the shock of battle on the Tennes see and the Fotomac—Lancaster Intelligen cer. Of course, the editor of the Intelligen cer, one of these same " heroes " and " battle-scarred veterans "who "breasted the shock of battle " by paying a thou sand dollars for a colored substitute will figure as one of the representatives of this mighty host of conservative soldiers 1 Where's the "nigger ?" A Democratic "Leader." The following is from the La Crosse Democrat, the leading Democratic paper orthe Great West. We shall look in vain for any rebuke V . the atrocious sen timent contained id this paragraph', from any Democratic paper in the Union. Why ? " Do you blame us when we say that God was just in sending Lola' Wilkes Booth on that Good Friday night, three years ago, the darkest and gloomiest in American history, to strike the traitor down, and liberate the white free men of America from the yoke of a depot? God is just. He struck the tyrant Lincoln from existence at an hour when the country could no longer bear the burden of him ; and God, in his wisdom, cannot let the free people of Ameri:a, whom Le has so protected and prospered, long remain chafing under the rule of any despot." What shall be said of a political party which, whatever may be its pretensions, gathers to its standard the creatures whose sentiments are reflected in such language as that 41•0 Copperhead Honesty. The Lancaster Intelligence,., always prating about honesty, a few days ago copied an article from the Columbia ,Spy, in which occurs this sentence : "But now-a-days, a change has come o'er the spirit of our dreams, and a man Who will not be bribed is considered a llama' bora fool." In the second paragraph below the above, in the saws article, it charges she Spy with saying: "The man who will not be bribed is a natural born fool," leaving out the word "considered," thus changing the tnean• ing of the whole. Now, who could imagine a more con= temptible trick than this? Nothing, it seems, is too mean fOra regular copper head organ grinder. And they talk about Honesty In Trowbie. We splipithize Sincerely. with the Copperheads in their troubles. I.lp to this date they have not decided whether to nominate a Republican or a Copper.: head for President ; Whether they Will+ retard on the platform of gold een backs ; whether their battle cry will be universal Prufitage," or " A White Man's Government." Of course Cop perhead principles arc immutable—ovhen ' they decide what they are. Poor fellows, we pity them.

The Reading Eagle, under this heading, gives " a few results of Radical fanati cism," as follows: " Gustavus Riddle committed suicide iu Philadelphia on Friday by jumping from a fourth story window." " Prof. Robert Clemens, Principal of the German Schools in Columbus, Ohio, commit ted suicide on Thursday evening." " William Loav hung himself at Montreal on Thursday." " Joseph Paetzel shot himself in Mauch Chunk on Thursday." " Cyrus Wright attempted to commit sui cide in Philadelphia, on Friday, by swallowing Paris Green." Upon diligent inquiry we learn that every one of the above unfortunates was a Democrat 1 No wonder that the Eagle is beginning to feel uneasy as to the fate of his party. = Was Sliarswood Elected ? In the contested election case last win ter it became necessary to count the votes in one of the Centre county boxes, and by the count it was discovered that Williams received one hundred and ninety (100) votes, and by the return he was only credited with one hundred and forty, (140) thus cheating him out of fifty (50). It would not take many such boxes to make up Shautwooll'4' axial majority. Republican election officers should be on the look out for such frauds. They are another species of coffee colored pa pers. .Arkansas Reco►►xtr►tctert The bill for the admission of the State of Arkansas, under the new Republican constitution, which was vetoed by A. J., just passed the Senate by a vote of 30 yeas and 7 nays, and the House of Rep resentatives by 109 yeas to 31 nays, and the two Radical Republican Senators, McDonald and Rice, were on Tuesday sworn and admitted to seats. Very soon, probably within two weeks, six other States will be admitted, and the glorious work of the Republican Congress will have been accomplished in spite of drunk en Andy Johnson, copperheads, whiskey rings and importers of small-pox !

We will carry the Northwestern States for Grant and Col fax by huge majorities, in my opinion, no matter whom the Democrats nom inate. In Illinois, we have a strong State ticket, and will win sure by 40,000. This is my figure. The more sanguine count on 60,000 majority." ALBERT PIKE, in the Memphis Appeal, says of the Chase movement : "We have heard that Catholic sailors, tired of fish and eggs, if they had eggs to eat, during Lent, had a habit of fastening a ham to a line, letting it over the ship's side into the sea, and drawing it up again, repeat ing the formula, 'Down Gammon, t up Salmon "—after which they could ea iE without needing absolution or doing penance. N# other process, we think, can make a Democrat out of Salmon P. Chase." THE New York Times on the Chase movement says : "Now, we do not be lieve that this movement will be able to control-the July Qonventidh. We have little expectation that the shrewdness and statesmanship which invest the movement with importance will be: suf ficiently strong to control the dither electiOns. It is young, and has too many prejudices to encounter to be at once successful." SAYS a New York Letter : Private ad vices from prominent Western Democrats received to-day, indicate that they are taking the alarm at the Chase movernant in progress here, and the result will be to bring on the friends of lir. Pendleton to New York a week or two sooner tl►an was contemplated, in order to "see about it." TnE Cleveland Herald believes that Mr. Chase "but courts the destiny of Andrew Johnson, W. 11.
