WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1872.
Stand by the Flag.
Lot every Democrat and Liberal cast
his vote for every man on the "Anti Ring
Ticket," from Governor to County Coro
ner. Stead by the Flag of Reform, which
you have hoisted. Liberals! Vote for
Him:Charles R. Buckalew, the- reform
candidate for Governor. By this you will
pledge faith to the Democracy, that you
have lain aside all former prejudiee, end
stand boldly;forth for honesty and reform.
One vote for Buckalew on Tnesday next,
is worth two for Horace Greeley in No
vember. For by .so doing, Democrats
will see that you do not ask what you are
not willing to give.
It will take but about 350 Liberal votes
in this county, to elect our Representa
tive, and we have got nearer 000. Let
every Democrat and Liberal stand by the
Flag. Remember, Simon Cameron, the
corruptionist, wants to go to the - United
States Senate again. Yon have always
been sold ont by the Radical candidates
of this county. Vote for a Representa
tive who has always fought against Simon
Cameron, and who 'will continue so to do,
as long as he lives. "Down with the
Rings," is the motto. Let M. L. Hawley
be elected, and we pledge you that Simon
Cameron, Hartmnft and the whole Radi
cal Ring, "Court House," State and Na
tional, will find a deadly foe. Success is
certain, if you stand by the Flag of Re
form. Not prejudice, but "honesty and
capability," is the motto. "Down with
the Rings."
Taxation without representation, led
our forefathers to rebel against English
tyranny. The same should lead tax pay
ers to rebel in Susquehan na county.
We have a partizan Commission
-r Board. We hear hundreds of men in
both parties say that the minority should
be represented. We offer yea C. C. Mills,
of Dimock, a man who has long held the
office of Justice of the Peace, of that
town, and is known throughout the comae
as "honest and capable" for the of
nee of Commissioner, and also C. M.
here, for Auditor, whose name is a Euffi
dent guarantee for his ability. Do you
mean what you say, Republicans ? Do yon
want to see a non partizan Board in the
Cemmissioners office, and a thorough
dusting out of your papers and accounts,
which have been there locked tip so many
rears ? Do you desire as yeti say, that one
-ran shall not control that office for
•• - enty years longer? Then do your duty
at the polls, next Tuesday; - FS , voting for
and Gene. "Down with the Rings."
Radical Groaning

I.ey did. The Radical .Justice of the

ue bands, who assemble to hear him
- in different parts of the county.
..at it was the negroes and boys that did
.-.. lint the editor of the Republie,vi, who
as one of the number, does not feel in
c'ined to be considered a negro or a boy,
rilerefore he jnstifies it. They hare had
o groans already. One thai night,

r•-asonable men, and if we mistake not,

Tattiday next.
The Sheriff Quesuon.
e have, in the person of L C. Dodge.
tai.erndent candidate for sheriff, another
.leorge Francis Train, who is laboring
tir , der the hallucination that he is to be
...t.eted sheriff of this county. He claims
he door, having lost his property by a
failure m business , . in Lucerne county,and
is asking the people of this county, to
',Lice him in the responsible position of
-beriff, that he may retrieve his fortune.
We publish elsewhere his card from the
~r therti Pennsylvanian, claiming t, be
a Radical Republican, and denying any
....tempt to deceive Democrats. We have,
uce our last issue, bad further infornm
iion from his own township :of Middle
town, corroborating the statements we
a3u*le, and also, that be still further re
p rts that Mr. Kent, the reform canal
will withdraw. We wish here to
that Mr. Kent will not withdraw.
?I r. Kent has acted the part of an honest
.....tiaidate. Not having sought the office,
he said to . the Democrats of this county,
ringli their vinnty committee, that sue
.en was what was needed in the Reform
~..ovement against the "Rings," and if
thou; ht it could be better reached
' y any other man, they were at liberty to
. ..itldraw has name, and under such air
,Liaaisiaces he would desire its withdraw-
:1. But the Democracy decided that he
~Lauld not withdraw. That he was their
:-!ioice at their county convention. "Now,
:gr.:Kent is not the man to put his hands
• the plow and look back, but he will

vigilance until the night of the eke

em; Where is the man •ierapt it. Is
George Francis Train or I. C: Dodge, that
would be carried away with the hallucina
tion, that he could at this time be elected
as an independent candidate for Sheriff?
The strongest personal friendship, should
not lead any Democrat or Liberal, to not
only throw away his vote, but make it
count two for the "Ring," by casting it
for Mr. Dodge. It will do him no favor
but may ensure the success of the" Ring."
Down with the Ring! Remember that
Mr. Kent will not withdraw, and if you
should see forged cards en election day, at
any of the polls, you may set them down
as a base trick o f the "Ring,"
itadleal nails Meeting.
The day came and went on Satnrday
last, and Radicalism in Susquehanna
county pot its best foot forward, and af
ter more than two weeks of the most
strenuous efforts, they came out in their
best paraphernalia and show, and every
boy that could ride a horse, in the borough
of Montrose, and who was willing to do
so on that occasion, was so equipped, to
the number of fifty-two, as we counted,
and out of that fifty-two, twenty-one were
minors. We did not attempt to make a
show, and we well knew they had the
money and the means, the official pat
ronage of Post Masters and Assessors,
upon which to draw for aid, and we had
nut. We would not do so if we could,
and we frankly acknowledge, if display
is the watchword, we are willing to be
beaten. They bad more wagone'filled
with women and children, more banners,
more horses, yes, more dogs trimmed
with ribbons and gngaws, (as we saw sev
eral in the procession,) than we bad, and
a few hundred more voters, a large num
ber of whom came merely to see the
"shows," but their votes will be cast in
October and November, for Greeley,
Brown, Buckalew and Hartley, and the
whole reform ticket. Could horses, wag
ons, banners and dogs, vote, we might
have been a little dismayed, but as they
cannot, we have no report but of the
brightest of prospects, for the success of
Reform. The cry echoed from lip to lip,
from a large number present, that we will
beat you 'at the polls, with a' freeman's
weapon, for our motto is, "Dow.N wrrn
THE Rnins." Truth is mighty and must
prevail.
We have but little to say in regard to
the speakers, for onr readers can find ev
ery word they said in every Ring organ
fur the last five years, namely, that Grant
saved the country, paid the national debt
and is at peace with all the world, and the
rest of mankind.
Admit all they ask, that Grant did save
the country, which the noble rank and
file now living, who stood side by side
on many a hard fought battle field, both
Democrats and Republicans, did just as
much as Grant, yes many a vacant chair
by the hearthstone, in Susquehanna
eountv. witnesse• that hundreds and
thousands of them did more, for they laid
their lives on their country's altar; we
say, fur al: this, admit for i their argument
that Grant alone did save the country,
and where is the argument to shield the
criminality of corrupt, bond-bloated Rad
icalism. There is a wide difference be
tween the soldier Grant and President
Gnint. The soldier Grant before the
war, during the wr, and for more than
two rears after the war was a Democrat.
By the assistance of those gallant men,
such as McClellan,Aleade, Thomas and
Sherman, and the noble rank and file,
both Democrats and Republicans, he was
a success. But when he came down from
his high niche and deserted his Democra
cy, and became one of the most Radical
tools of an infamous and corrupt political
Ring that ever disgraced this nation, we
find President Grant a most miserable
failure, and while the American people
should admire and extol the one they
should with equal vigor denounce the
other for their country's good. These of
ficial cormorants say, that is personal.
"We go for principles not men." They
should spell the principles thus (princi
pals.) We say we go for principles and
honest men to carry them out, and we
ask for personalities.
We do not wonder that the chirman
of the Radical County Committee df this
county, prayed that the State Committee
would send some other man here than
Senator Craigan, for a man who repre
sents a portion of the people in intelli
gent New Hampshire, who had not brains
enough to address an - audience, without
reading his piece from a book, is cheap
indeed. Ar.y of our school boys could
hare - learned it for declamation in one
tenth of the time he has been reading it
around the country. Chairman Carmalt
has oar warmest sympathy.
We bare already taken too much space
on this subject, and will close by saying
that the day closed with a meeting tu the
evening, addressed by several speakers,
among whom was Frank Durkee, of
Binghamton. We again tender our sym
pathy to Mr. Carmalt, for we sea he is
posted to address meetings in several pla
ces in this county. We know Frank
Durkee, and our pen refuses to place his
picture here, but we Will merely direct
Mr. Carmalt to the small boys in Bing
' hamtonifor reference.
Thus ends the chapter.

He is going to be elected. Lazarus, and

and "Down with the Rings," is the
watchword. Liberals! Remember that
Horace Greeley wants a Congress to aid
him in making his administration effec

rrazter's QuerF
Will the Democrat pretend that Charles
IL Buckalew is a Temperance man.—
Mon /rose Republican.
In answer to the above awful (?) inqui
ry, we will say, that the Radical Cameron
Ring of this State, have cards posted in
every low grogery in Philadelphia, charg
ing Mr. Buckalew with being a ten total
temperance man. We have our informa
tion from a leading Radical politician in
this borough who, but two or three days
ago, was exalting to us that the Long
Branch Temperance Radical Cameron,
Hartrauft Ring were sure to carry the
liquor interest of that city for Hartrauft,
on that ground. Whether evidence from
such a source is worth anything to the ed
itor of the Republican or not, we can't
say. But if he wants the name of the
Montrose Radical who informed us, he
can have it. by calling at our office.

Tile Penitentnry Gang.',
In order to pull wool over the eye's of
the people, Yerkes, the convict, publishes
statement, (not, under oath) to deny
his statement under oath before Alderman
Dougherty! This latter statement is the
price of his pardon which the governor
of Penbsylvauia granted at the earnest
solicitation of the criminal parties most
interested in the result of the coming
election: on the very eve cf that election,
when it is hoped the people may be cred
ulous enough to be taken in by this trans
parent fraud! To gire plausibility to this
bold swindle, certain bankers of Philadel
phia who pasi in public estimation for
bondrable men, give deceptive certificates
Now _Murk! What do these certificates
prove? They simple prove that the sign
ers to them have duly examined
PHOTOGRAPHIC COPY of Mr. Yerkes
signature to the affidavit and that it was
never written by him!
Prod i 7 , 7 ions ' Me phatJgraphie signature
of Mr. lerkes was never written by him !
Why any goose knows that. Of course
the punter did it and not Yerkes. If
these immaculate bankers bad examined
the signature. of Yerkes which is to be
found in the office of Alderman Dougher
ty. and bad then certified that his signa
ture More was not genuine, some impor
tance might have been attached to their
certificate. But as it is, that same certif
icate is, at best, a mere stricture on the
capacity of the phofeyrapher who under

Colonization of Negroes.
The Hagerstown Mail, speaking of the
colonization of negroes, in the Border
counties, says: "We have heretofore re
ferred to the importation of negro voters
into Pennsylvania from Virginia, and we
now have occasion to call the attention
of our Democratic friends along the bor
der to the colonization of the same clans
of voters from our town. Within the last
week or two, a Jorge number of idlers who
were to be seen at all hours halving about
our street corners, have dissappeared ;
and, although never given to work, have
suddenly found employment in Pennsyl
vania. Many go there, of uourso„by in
struction, under assumed names;"- and as
it is next to impossible to distinguish one
from another, their poll tax of twenty
five cents being paid for them, as well as
other expenses, they put in their votes
and it is proclaimed throughout Christ
endom that Grant is the idol of the west
ern world.
To our Pennsylvania friends we have
simply this to say : Scrutinize every color
ed voter whose indentity is not well es
tablished ; for Maryland, in addition to
Virgina, negroes are being colonized upon
you."
"and now the very worst thing on
Horace Greeley, who commanded the
Black Horse cavalry at Bull Run, comes
from a neighboring town over the border.
A Grant Demosthenes told his open
mouthed hearers at Grantville, Pa., the
other night, that if Greeley was elected
President he would put Gen. Robert E.
Lee in his cabinet, make him Secretary of
War just likens Lot. Goodness gracious
—gracious goodness! But this isn't all
this GeOrge Washington never-tell-a-lie
orator said. He declared that Gen. Lee
is at the present time a Liberal and op
posed to Grant. How can a man vote
for Greeley with such a terrible fact star
ing him in the face! The next thing we
know these moral and truth-loving patri
ots will goAironnd the country asserting
that Nero and Benedict Arnold support
Greeley. Somebody, possibly, may believe
them. We should like to have peace but
cannot see how we are going to get it at
this rate.

Curtin Speaks at Last !
Per nsylvantres War Governer Rep's
diates Radicalism—Wo Declares
Emphatically In Favor of the Elec
tion of Bnckaleiv for Governor of
Pennsylvania,
MY DEAR SIR : Your favor of the
inst., informing me of my nomination by
the Liberal Republican - State Committee
as a candidate for delegate at large to the
Constitutional Convention, and maiming
an address to the people of the State rec
ommending myelectionearneduly to hand;
but extreme illness prevented my reading
the letter, or considering the subject, until
now. lam still quite feeble, and unable
to write without the aid of an amanuen
sis; but the near approach of the elec
tion, and the gravity of the issues, imme
diately affecting the honor and prosperity
of Pennsylvania, to be decided in October
compel me to answer when my rest stould
be unbroken. The nomination made by
so many of the purest and best of the old
representative Republicans of the State,
and presented to the people upon grounds
which stand out in brave contrast with the
demoralized political management now
so sadly prevalent, is an appeal that I can
not refuse to respect. I therefore accept
the nomination, and if it shall be ratified
by the people, and health permits, I will
discharge its duties with fidelity. I had
confidently expected, immediately upon
my return home, to familiarize myself
fully with the details of what I well un
derstood in all general aspects, touching
the misrule of our commonwealth under
its present political control, and to speak
my convictions at the earliest possible
moment. While I cannot everbe indif
ferent in a Presidential contest, I felt
that the renegation of my nativoState in
the October election was of paramount
interest to the people in whose happiness
and greatness I am enlisted by every con
sideration of gratitude and patriotism.
The bad rule that has wholly compassed
the channels of political administrative
authority in Pennyulvatna is not of re
cent creation. It was the tireless but im
potent power that confronted the action
of the Government, State and National,
during the dark days of civil War, and
steadily struggled to g ather advancement
and gain from the better sot row of the
people: Six years ago itattained control
in our State. How it was achieved is re
membered
in humiliation by all. Why it
was sought and won our subsequent his
tory painfully demonstrates. The Re
publican organization, that has Made its
name illustrious in maintaining the unity
of the State and redeeming a continent
to gecelom, wet seized, in contempt of the
will of the people, and its victories per
verted to licensed wrong, I need not re
cite how, under an honored name and fleg,
it has created wide spread, indeed almost
universal, distrust of authority, and made
honest men despair of integrity in legis
lation, in elections, in confering legisla
tive honors, and even in the ad-ministra
tion of pniffic justice. These terrible and
steady-growing evils in our political rule
have made the people demand the right
to resume their sovereignty, to make Reny
safe-gnards for themselves; but if the
proposed convention is to effect through
reform it must be aided, not hindered, by
the past power of the Executive and oth
er important State officials. If Mr. Buck-
slew shall be defeated and a new lease of
authority thus conferred upon the despot-,
is control that has long misruled the
commonwealth it will be marvelous in-'
deed if a convention, chosen in the part
isan strife of a national contest, can af
ford any substantial relief or protection
to the people. If Pennsylvania is to be
restored to purity, the Government in ail
its departments, as well as the Conven
tion, must harmonize fully and earnestly
in the work of rene,gatiou. Mr. BUCkit
low's confessed integrity and consistent
devotion to reform dining many years of
official service give the best possible guar
antee of honest administration and of
complete restraints upon corrupt or reck
less authority, and his election seems to
he demanded by every consideration of
individual manhood, a .d of fidelity to the
honor and advancement of the State. If,
as is claimed by the desperate leaders of
Pennsylvania, to regenerate our State in
October will affect the national contest,
the cause thus to be endangered must be
wanting in most essential attributes of
popular confidence. Actuated solely by
a sense of duty to a people, whose devo
tion in times past furnishes the most grate
ful memories of my life, I shall vote in
October for honest government in our
commonwealth, and meet the Presidential
issue when it comes before the people, in
accordance with my long settled convic
tions. I cannot consent to sacrifice a
a great contest for constitutional, legisla
tive, and administrative reform because a
Presidential eletiun is pending. To yield
the question would give fresh victories
fur misrule, and make the effort for just
fundamental restraints either measurably
or wholly abortive. Very respectfully,
your olxlient servant, A. G. CcuTi r.
