Bhuokkt it Van Ormkii, Gen tlemen : In yourjeditorisl placed in a con spicuous placein the last issue of your pa. per, you make a serious charge in regard to the organization of soldiers known as tho "Gruiid Army of the Republic." 1 will not stale your charges, all who read your pa" per know what they are, nor do 1 intend unswering them in full. I was not in Beliefonte in time to make any answer in the Watchman along with comrades, Ilurris, Keller and H. 11. Wil liams, hut I say here I can answer for all the places in which new posts were mus tered, IJnionviile, Howard, Milesburg, Pine Grove Mills, Snow .Shoe and Centre Hall, and say it is not no at any of the pla ce* to the best of my knowledge and be lief. In your article you ay ''trie membcVs, whogo from place to place to organize new posts, we are informed, carry with them blanks with printed headings which con tain a pledge to support Gen. Beaver for Governor, etc. etc." Now, Messrs. Editors, no person but my self went from place to place to organize new post*, and the blank I carried, or rather sunt, reads as follows : [The blank is an application for charter, and is all right, hut too long for insertion. Ei. ] I never carried, nor did I ever hear the least intimation of any comrade carrying any paper of tho kind yeu state In your ar ticle, and what is more, jsdilics in no way shape or manner was mentioned by any one in rny presence in any such sense. You have had an informant who has evidently lied to you. I do not for a moment charge you with making the story. You owe to yourself, your paper, the G. A. It. and the community the giving of the name ol your informant tiiat he may tie dealt with as he deserves. I am a Republican, will use all honora ble means to secure the election of Gen.

I could write much in answer to this in. famous charge but I will ad i hut little more because I do not know the author— and because I do not charge it to you. I paid so little attention to the politics < ( those we mustered in that I can not tell to day the politics of any unless I knew before I met them as men wishing to belong to the G A. R. Simon Harper snd C. D. Runkle, both i Democrats, of (kmlre Hall, can possibly I answer if anything of the kind hapj-enod there ; John I'j.j.le and other Democrat* can answer for sn w Shoe ; John R Raker and other Democratic soldiers ran answer for Howard ; S. S. Gillmsn, F. 11. llolt and others, wbo are Democrats, soldiers and members of the G. A. It. for Miles" burg, and so on all through. We are anxious for such an investiga tion, let us have your author, then we wili answer more fully. Respectfully, yours, AfSTIW Ct'RTIK. MKAONE. Snt OKRT A- VAK ORMRR In your issue of the *th instant, !• an article which reflect# somewhat severely upon some of the member# of "Gregg Post, intimating that they have been working in the interest of Gen. Beaver, when out or ganising new Post*. Fearing an irnpre. lion might be created throughout this community that the G. A. R. is a Repub lican institution, I ak for space in your C >lumns to make a few statement* concern ing said organisation. Tho Grand Army of tho Republic is a secret order whose objects are, Ist, frater nity, to bind the soldiers and sailors of the late war together in a bond of social union ; 2nd, charity, to teach its member# the great duty they owe to all distressed sol, diets, their widows and orphans, when in n-ed of assistance ; 3rd, loyally, to ineul cate a deeper lote of country, and loyally to the flag of our Union. Politics and sectarianism are not allowed to be discussed al its mesitings. It em braces within it* folds Catholics and Pro. testanls, Democrat" and Republicans, and members of all other sects and parties. If the fact that Gen. Beaver is a member of Gregg Post makes a few of its member* a little more aealous, it does not follow that all member* of other to*t* are neces sarily working for bint. Our post, for example, has a number of Democratic members, wbo would sacrifice all they are worth rather than vole fc r Beaver, not because they object to him personally, but because he represent# a party whose principles are treasonable, and, if carried out, would plunge our nation Into anarchy and suicide.
