Mitt - tici fact that Mr. Denison is a tried
'aod'tru'e man, Whose name in 1862 and
1864 . brought a degree of unity and
strength ,to the party in Lnzerne, un
known fur many years; raises the impor
'tent question whether it is not better for
unto defer our - claims for two years, and
1, , •
concur with. Lrizerne in his unanimous re
nomination. •
Through the result of some bad man
agement in Luzerne, last year, -part of
their county ticket was defeated, and the
majority on the State ticket reduced to
,800--leaving a Republican majority' in
the district of about 500.. How we can
now-best overcome this disaster, and run
-our majority up to 1,500 or 2,000; kis
'our duty to coasider ; and we are grati
fied to know that there is a very general
disposition evinced among Democrats to
consult the general welfare of the party
anti the-country, regardless of mere local
•
pr personahntereets.
The whole , subject comes before our
'County Convention, and we doubt not
the final result will be such as will secure
harmony and success.
Light in the East,
• The call for the National 'Union Con
vention at Philadelphia has met with a
'general response from - all Union men ir
'espeptive of party ; but it was hardly ex
pected that leading men in the Republi
can party in Massachusetts would take
part in it. Among the distinguished men
in - that party from the old Bay State, who
endorse the Convention, are such men as
,George Ashmun, who was President of
the Lincoln Chicago Convention, Hon. B.
R: Curtis of the United States . Supreme
Court, who delivered the dissenting opin
ion in the Dred Scott case, a man whom
'the Republicans have always sworn by,
John Quincy Adams, and others. A Con
vention, numbering 1,781 delegates was
held in Boston to choose delegates to
Philadelphia.
In noticing this Convention, the Boston
Herald, hitherto radical, says:
"The time has now come to vote down
the extreme men in both sections of the
country. The country will not return to
a quiet, orderly condition so long as loud
mouthed partisans can gain admission in
to the balls of Congress and control pub
alf.irs. A reform is sadly needed,and
it remains for the people to say if this, re-
Airm shall be had, and how.soon. , There

chusetts coming forward tolerid their aid
itilhe good work.
'-' 7 l i grA Democratic journal publishes
Genefals Grant, Sherman, Meade, Han
cock, Sheridan and others, as supporters
of President Johnson. The Erie Gazette,
a Rtirop-Geary organ, adds to the list the
names of Jeff Davis, Guerilla Morgan,
Wirz,-Booth, &v. This is the manner in
which Geary's organs treat all the brave
soldiers who refuse to go for the negro
equality party and spoils, and against the
Union, peace, prosperity and harmony.
Because Grant and Sherman do not en
dorse Thad Stevens, they are to be class
ed with Davis and Booth.- So say Geary
organs.

Geary still a Know Nothing.
Geaiy, who vainly watns to be Governor,
was a know-nothing when that bigoted
order existed, and from his talk appears
to be one now. Heattended another pic
nic last week, and according to the Afri
can organs, tried to tickle the Irish by an
endoisement of Congresn for repealing
the Neutrality Laws l As his party ma
jority in Congress defeated a motion from
the Democrats to repeal the Neutrality
Laws, poor Geary will not only. fail in his
trials to delude the Fenians, but has given
another reason why be ought to be de
feated. Such „deplorable ignorance or
palpable falsehood cannot bat greatly
damage his chances.
For the Montrose Democrat.
Who have changed their sentiments ?
During the progress , of the war, the
Radical party claimed that we owed our
allegiance to the administration, and not
to Congress; that the President was the
all-controlling power; that be had unlim
ited authority to imprison or order under
arrest any and all persons who went in
variance to the dictates .of his will ; that
he was supreme in all his mandates, and
that all must become subservient to his
authority. Were any one at the time to
say anything detrimental to his good
name, or to criticise his conduct in the
slightest degree, he was deemed a traitor
or a sympathizer with the rebels, and his
chances would be Fort Lafayette, or some
other government bastile.
To-day the same party are bitter in
their denunciations of the President and
his administration. Now it is Congress,
and not the President, that has the pow
er. Now they do not consider that the
President has any power, but that their
pet Congress has all the say and all the
authority. Now no name can be used
vile enough for the anathemas they would
heap upon his devoted head. Now they
have no fears of a Fort Lafayette or a
Fort Warren,for they look to a rump
Congress-to ack them in their action.
They Claimed that the States were not
Out of the Union—that they could not go
out of the Union ; and for that reason our
braVe brothers went forth to the conflict.
When the war was at an end, the smoke
of battle had died away, and the question
came up whether we should admit the er•
ring and repentant into our councils
again, the radicals brought forth their cry
Of the States having lost their State
rights, and that they are mere dependen
cies.
They are constantly enacting laws that
are in direct violation of the rights of the
States and of communities, in forcing ne
gro suffrage and .freedmen's bureau bills
down the throats of the people. This
party, oow attempts to force upon you a
candidate for Governor, and they count
on our sympathy on account of their great
love for the soldier. But have they ever
been of any benefit to the "boys in blue?"
Do they do anything which will accrue to
the future benefit of the private soldier?
We'ean find nothing.
They may promise you office, but when
the time comes stapat-home politicians
will get or a superannuated officer.
Let us then repudiate a party that has
already repudiated itself. Let us show
diem that we mean to stand by the ad
ministration that has stood by, us, and as
they have said, "vote the way you shoot."
Show them that as , we shot for the Union
—the whole undivided Union—so'we will
vote for the Union and the inviolate main
tenance of this compact , which was or
dained by our fathers, and which has been
cemented by the blood of our comrades
and brothers. ,

the armistice at Vienna, the Prussians
being general victorious. It was going

tria, and Garibaldi and Medici had over
run the greater part of the Italian Tyrol.
A claim for the possession of that prov
ince will now be added to the demand for
Venetia. According to the latest news
there had been a suspension of arms in
Bavaria and Italy, and negotiations for
peace were to be entered upon. These e
vents will complicate the situation of af
fairs very much, and lead to further Aus
trian humiliation if the Tyrol is also taken
from that power.
Late News by the Cable.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—The latest telegrams
received here this afternoon from Paris,
Berlin, Vienna, Padua, and Venice, indi
cate that there is no change of situation
of affairs in the Italian Tyrol. The armies
are still in position for a resumption of
hostilities, while the negotiations are pen
ding between the representatives of Italy
and Austria.
LIVERPOOL,, Aug. 9.—The officers of the
,gritish . Customs Service here, under order
from the Admiralty, have seized 6 block
ade-runners, lying at this port, on behalf'
of the Government or the United States.
The cause of this procedure has not been
made public.
Arrival of Released Fenian's.
New York, Aug.lo.—Gen. John H.
Gleason, Capt. Cardon and Major Comer
ford, have arrived from Ireland. The two
former were released on condition of leav
ing at once for America. While they were
confined they bad a correspondence with
Mr. West, United States Consul at Dub
lin, who admitted that they were Ameri
can citizens, but stated that. the Lord
Lieutenant would deal with them the same
as ordinary subjects.
Major Comerford comes as envoy to
Mr. Stephens, and says the numerical
strength and hopes of the Fenians in Ire
land are better now than when Stephens
left; that the people are determined to
fight, aid or no and from America ; that
their confidence in Stephens is unabated,
and that they condemn the conduct of the
factions in America.
Texas State Government
As yet. the President has not received
any official information of the inaugura
tion of the newly elected State officers of
Texas. When such information arrives,
the President will direct the Provisional
Governor to turn over the Government
to the new facers, and thereupon.a proc
lamation be issued, declaring peace
in all the land, and that the writ of habeas
corpus is no longer suspended in any part
of the United States.
Geary at a Pic-Nic.
The hero of Snickersville intruded him
self upon a Sunday School pic-nic, held
near his residence, at New Cumberland,
other day, and through courtesy was al
lowed to talk to the children, •being qui
etly reminded, however, that the occasion
was not proper for any display of politi
cal rhetoric. He commenced to talk to
the little ones, but his religious education
probably being defective, he got misera
bly stuck among the precepts, duties, res
ponsibilities, et cetera, of the narrow way,
and broke down competely. With some
of the strategic promptnees, however,
with which he conducted his backward
movements in Virginia, he drew forth a
manuscript, and commenced to read an
attack upon the Reading speech ofliont
gomery Blair, and garbled extracts from
Mr. Clymer's legislative record. The
church membership upon the ground, em
bracing the parents and friends of the
children, were deeply mortified, and hung
their heads in shame, both at the want
of Christian knowledge displayed by the
candidate for Governor, and at his lack of
knowledge of the proprieties of the occa
sion, in turning a pious assemblage into a
political meeting. Upon that occasion at
least he seems to have lost the respect of
every one who was present, irrespective
of party.
POLmcm..—The Republican County
Committee of Luzerne county met at the
Arbitration Room in 'Wilkes-Barre on
Tuesday of last week. Matters pertaining
to the good of the party were fully dis
cussed. The fact was clearly revealed
that for Congress there were three candi
dates [Ketcham, Corey and Strong] for
the nomination, or willing to accept the,
nomination.—Gazette.
At a meeting of the county committee
and some few other citizens, in Wilkes-
Bane, on the 31st ultimo, the selection of
a candidate for Congress Was discussed.
Opinion in favor of Mr. Ketcham prepon

'' -- Thiii - Pf66tieet: -. ."--
Everywhere throughout the State the
Democracy are rapidly perfecting their
organization, and from every quarter,we
hear the most cheering news. The'don,.
servative men of,Pennsylvania have resold
ved that there shall be an end of the rule
of radicalism and fanaticism, and to effect
that most desirable result they are cem=
bining, irrespective of past-party ties.
Hundreds and thousands of honest vot
ers who have hitherto stood opposed to
the Democratic. party will refuse to vote
for Geary because 'they cannot endorse
the platform on which-he stands and.the
principles, which he professes. He is
known and recognized by all intelligent,
yoters as the pliatit, tool of Thad Stevens,
Simon Cameron, and Forney.
As such the soldiers of the State repu
diate him. They cannot and will not be
dragooned into supporting any man who
stands where he does. Reading, hearing
and thinking for themselves they will, as
a body, vote independently and intelli
gently more than any other class of the
community. Having risked their lives to
preserve the Union and the Constitution
they will not lend the influence of their
ballots to retard the restoration of the one
and to destroy the other. They know
who the candidates for Governor are, and
their Service in the field has made them
familiar with the principles they represent.
Nu anat,unt of lying can deceive them and
no appeals to their passion can move them
teem the stand they have deliberately ta
ken upon immutable principles. Hiester
Clymer. wih receive the votes.of very ma
ny soldiers who have been Republicans
throughout the war, enough to give him
a majority of the returned veterans.
If the full Democratic vote of the State
is polled, Mester Clymer will be elected
Governor, so surely as the second Tues
day of ,October comes. That must be
done. In' order that it may be accom
plished, there must be the most perfect
organization of the party. It is time ev
ery township in the State had a well ar
ranged business organization. Let every
Democrat who reads this article go to
work at once. With a proper effort on
our part, we cannot be defeated in the
coming election. One grand united strug
gle will enable es to overwhelm the die
unionists in Pennsylvania forever. Shall
it be done? It, rests with you, reader, to
say. You must do your duty. You must
work hard from now until the election ;
and you must begin at once. Will -you
do so ?—Lancaster Intelligencer.
The Soldiers' Mass Meeting.
The soldiers' convention on the Ist inst.
it will be remembered, was a Delegate
Convention, intended only to aggregate
only 700 soldiers—seven delegates to each
representative district. Instead of con
fining themselves to these, many of the
counties sent scores and hundreds of sol
diers—at least they came, whether sent
or not. Scarcely a western county,—
where the harvest was yet in .process of
gathering—confined itself to its seven
delegates. Thus it occurred that - several
thousand soldiers appeared at the conven
tion. The assemblage therefore pal took
more of the character of a Mass Meeting
than a delegate convention.
We sincerely declare that oar most san
guine expectations were more than real
ized by this assemblage of Pennsylvania's
veterans. That it will operate for good
to the State and country we have no
doubt whatever. The brave men who
were here yasterday in the Capitol of the
State came as they did when the danger
threatened the Government, to marshall
themselves under the banner of the Union
and we feel firmly confident that the bat
tle-fie'd of October will again find them
victorious over the foes of the Union and
the Constitution.—Patriot.
itgr Gerrit Smith recently addressed a
letter to Chief Justice Chase, in which he
deprecates the desire for revenge so freely
indulged in by the Radical leaders. He
rebukes this spirit, and tells them some
unpalatable things, as follows:
" How sad that the North should in this
the great trial hour of her wisdom and in
tegrity; be found so mistaken in regard to
her needs and duties. She denounces the
South for brinLYin; , on the war. But her
~wit responsibility for it- is no less than
that of the South. Nay, in the light of
the past, that her temptation to betray
freedom and justice were so much weaker
than those which assailed the South, her
share of the common responsibility for
the war is the greater. She clamors for
the punishment of the South under the
constitution. But she should feel that the
South has' been punished very severely
already. She complains that the South
has still a hard heart ; but it is not harder
than her own."
SALARIES LARGE AND SMALL—The larg
est salary paid any one man in New Eng
land is received by an agent of the Salis
bury Woolen Mills, Newport, who has
fifteen" thousand dollars a year. The low
est salary was probably received by that
Methodist clergyman who asserted, at the
Boston convention, Week before last, " that
his renUmeration for the first year's preach
ing 'consisted of a new hat and a bushel
of apples, While at present he was more
fortunate, his salary amounting to about
twentyftvo dollar's a year:
—The President has vetoed the bill
which erects Montana into a surveying,
district, on the grounds, principally, that
it is a mere private, laud ,speculatton, by
which ceriain,corporators (many of whom
are members of Congress) would be ena
bled to secure immense tracts of Govern
ment mineral lands at the nominal price
oft 1,2 k per .acre. The general public,
would gain nothing by the bill,, if passed
into a law.
.
Gen. Davis;:;Writing for the Doylebtown
Democrat, says; . ;
" We
,devote several wimps this Week
to the p roceedings of the.floldiertr Cde
vention held at Harrisburg - on; the Ist of
August. It was oho of thelargest, Most
enthusiastic, and harmonionS C,onven,
dons ever assembled in Pennsylvania, and
there can be no doubt whatever that it
will be productive of good. We believe
every county in the State was represent
ed by a full set of delegates, and the
whole number of authorized representa
tives - of the officers,• soldiers . and seamen
of the State , present on the occasion was
over seven hundred., In addition to ,the
delegates, there was not far from that
number of officers and soldiers who came
there to take note oft he proceedings. We ,
never saw a finer looking body of men as.
sembled anywhere. One feature of the
Convention was the large number of
wounded present, many of whom had lost
an arm or leg, or been otherwise disabled
in the service. The feeling in favor of
the Constitution and the Union was as in
tense as the determination to support
Johnson and Clymer, their representa
tives. A remarkable circumstance was
the large number of delegates who have
formerly acted with the Republican par
ty. Every delegation contained more or
less of such representatives, and from one
county they formed a majority of the del
egates., These are earnest, honest sol
diers who have come to see that the
course of the Radicals will dearoy the
Constitution and Union which they fought
aad bled to preserve. The Convention
was, in every sense, a SOLDIERS' Conven
tion, made up of the conservative defend
ers of the Republic, and it possessed none
of the attributes of a.partisan assemblage.
There had been no such expression of
opinion from our soldiers since the war
closed. To the radicals it is a hand wri
ting on the wall, and pronounces their
doom in this State at the coming election.
They can hood wink the soldiers no long
er. The latter now fully understand the
destructive policy of the bold, bad men,
who are plotting to destroy the Union,
and they will give them their support no
longer.
The revolution which is now arising
among the late defenders of the Repub'ic
in the field wit! continue to grow in its
proportions until the power of the disun
ionists is completely swept away. We
can now see, not far distant, the coming
of the day when we shall welcome the
crowning glory of the great struggle for
the Constitution and the Union—when
the country will be united in its integri
ty, when peace, tranquility and prosperi
ty will reign in all our borders, and the
North and South again be united as one
people. May the Almighty hasten and
bless the coming of that happy day
After the Conuention adjourned, the
delegates and others attending it formed
in procession and marched down to the
quarters of Mr. Clymer, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, to whom they
paid their respects. After a serenade
from the band, he came out and returned
his thanks to the soldiers in an eloquent
and appropriate speech. His reception
was most enthusiastic. He was followed
by several other gentlemen who made
speeches suitable to the occasion."
Radical "Lambs."
The Radicals are queer fellows; and
have a queer .way of giving queer names
to things; and their "lambs" have a
queer way of showing their peaceable and
lamb-like nature, by blowing out, their
neighbor's brains—which is certainly the
queerest demonstration on the part of
lambs to be found in the annals of natn
ral history. But it is exactly in the line
of Radicals to call black white, the false
true, right wrong, and why should it be
more difficult for them to convert murder
ous nearoes into innocent lambs?
The innocence of these tender and trust
ing lambs, and the appropriateness of the
name which the radicals, with tears in
their eyes, have given them, may be seen
in the following dispatch from New Or
leans, in addition to the testimony which
we have previously received :
;.,
" NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.
"A street oar was fired into in the out
skirts of the city last night by•negroes,
and Capt. Reynolds of the steamer Star
light was killed. . One of his murderers
has been arrested.
Many arrests , of armed blacks have
been made since the riot. Several houses
occupied by negroes have been discov
ered containing arms and ammunition.—
The armed sentinels have been with
drawn from the Municipal Hall."
All of which is pastoral and smells of
the meadow and the hil-side, and brings
pleasantly to mind the sounds of moun
tain springs and running brooks; , sweet
thoughts which we dislike very much to
disturb by remembering that most of the
" lambs" engaged in the riot were drunk,
which leads us to believe that they live on
a pastoral diet of gunpowder and alcohol.
But to be serious ' these wretched ne
groes should be pitied rather than scourg
ed for the part they have taken in this
New Orleans business; for it is well , un
derstood- that they were led into the acts
ofcrime and bloodshed which' have been'
so outrageously committed, by the more
bloody and more criminal radicals.- • •
The exaltation of the negro, the perni- -
(ions teachings which have been crammed
into him, the revolutionary thoughts that
have been - whispered. - in his' ear;have bro't
about the lamentable state of things that
exist in NeW Orleans, which every good
man and every good and law-abiding cit
izen must deplore. • • -•
The seed that has been sown has yield
ed its legitimate fruit: And so long as
the radicaletire permitted to hold power,
where they, emplaced in. a position to
push on and give effect-to t isorgan,
zing and seditious doctrines, so long shall
we be obliged to see, here and there as
natural consequences, the revolutionary
and bloody scenes of New Orleans re ,
peated, until in the end, step by step, all
these United States will be involved in a
war of races, the end whereof no human 'q
eye can see. 4

Geary at Lookout.
" Geary, the leader of the fight at Look,
out Mountain."—Argus.
Yes, the "leader" - at a distance. - Auk
the gallant uld dsterhana, ho* abent it,
Being in the fight ourself, we have a
slight recollection of Geary's leadership
in that severe battle. Geary had march ,
ed up the mountain some distance, halt.,
ed and commenced the waste of man ed.
tion by firing at the rebels two toiled Off s
and entirely ont of his sight. Gen, Oster.
haus, rho commanded a division of the
15th corps, advanced up the mountain in
the track of Geary. Finding Geary at a
stand still, busily loading , and firing at
empty space, the restless Teutonconcle ,
ded to reconnoitre. He accordingly
passed Geary with his division, and afiet
proceeding some two miles further,
found, engaged and routed 'the enemy,
making all the important captures of pna.
oners, ordnance, itc., that were made on
the mountain.
Such are briefly the facts as we recol-
lect them in regard to the part taken io
the battle by Geary. They were for
months the amusing topic of conversa.
tiou in Sherman's army ; and if the official
reports of the battle do not give them in
the plump manner we have stated them,
it is because of the delicacy evinced by
most of the commanders in the army in
speaking of the action of such subordin.
ates as wore the same number of stare as
the►nselves.
" Geary, the leader of the fight at Look.
out Mountain I" Why, if such bad been
the case, Federal soldiers would never
have seen its towering crest. To General
Osterhaus belongs the credit of leading
the men who finally drove the "Johnnye
from above the clouds.

Disunion Doctrine.
On Wednesday evening, the first of
August, Jack Hamilton of Texas, a disci
ple of Stevens, Sumner, Forney Ltt Co.,
made a disunion speech in Harrisburg.
His doctrine was of the most rtleal and
revolutionary character. He declared
"Congress has the right to blot out the
State lines, if'neeessary, and re•map th,
country as it, thinks proper."
This sentiment was received with mach
applause by the "loyal" Repiabs. Their
congressmen are acting on this program.
me, and in a little while, unless the rev'•
lutionary party of radicals is defeated by
the people, state lines will be blotted out
and instead of a Union of States we will
have a consolidated Empire.
IfarA young man warted to marry
girl out in Wisconsin, but her rich ps.
rents forbade the match. The young man
thereupon became very sick, and had ter.
rible fainting fits. The doctors were
called, who said he would die, and he said
he wanted to die. The father of the girl
visited the patient, and the poor fellow
said if he could marry her be would die
happily. His dying request could not be
refused, and Mary Ann having no ohjec
tion, the minister was sent for and the
marriage ceremony was performed. The
knot being securely tied, the patient roes
from his bed a well man. It, was a great
