"Tie Slug."-" The Ring Candidates."
Democratic journals and politicians
lave, since tLe State nominations by the
respective parties, entered the political
areoa, with a whoop and wild flourish that
assures all who have observed their move
menu, that thry are determined to make
the campaign of 1S71 as vigorous as they
possibly can They leave nothing un
touched that they think will aid them in
reaching the goal and that is, all the
offices filled with Democrats. One of
the sentences that they employ the most
frequently, indeed the one that has been
famishing material for denunciatory ar
ticles fir the Ilarrisburg Patriot, the
great orfran of the Democratic party in
central Pennsylvania, and other Demo
cratic p pete, ever since the meeting of
the Republican State Convention, is that
" He is the ring candidate." This they
apply to every Republican that has been
nominated. It ia not a very difficult task
to discovery the cause of this continual
cry of the "ring candidate." They ex
pect by continually shouting "The ring !"
"The ring!" to prejudice many of the
independent 1'epublicans against the
nominations of their own party, and, as
a consequence, get them to support the
Democratic party. They alo expect by
the cry of " the ring," " the ring candi
date' to stimulate into actual opposition
such Republicans as have not been served
with dt sired nomiattion. . If any of that
class, for such a reason, make a depar
ture, we feir it would add as much to
their own raisfortune as to that of the
party, and that they, sooner or later, must
realize that they have done worse than
leaping from the pan into the fire.
Again the cry The ring," "The ring
candidate" is to draw attention from their
own " Ring." which is one of the most
unscrupulous and exacting that ever in
flicted rules or mandates upon the people
of a party. Such a ring has governed
the Democratic party for many years,
and it shouts ' King ! Ring !" vocifer
ously, as the thief does who is escaping
from the officers of the law, down a crowd
ed street, and directing attention from
himself all the time by pointing in front
and shouting "Stop thief, stop !" until the
favorable moment arrives when the whole
street is in an uproar and the attention of
the people tnrned in another direction to
look for the guilty party, the thief sinu
ously glides into a by way and escapes
further molestation on that score. But
we need not generalize npon this ory.
We need not take the Stat to show how
it is done ; we need but open our eyes
here in Juniata to ere an illustration of
the ring work of the Democracy. The
ring has its nvmbers in every township
in this county, from Lack, in one end, to
Susquehanna, in the other ; and when
the ring-master cracks his whip, they are
up an! as eager for the work as are the
bounds on the estate of an Englishman
eager for the chase when the master of
the pack sounds his horn. The courtiers
at the Court of Berlin respond not more
readily to the hiuted desires of King
William than do the members of the
" Ring" of the Juniata Democtacy re
spond to the hinted desires of their "ring
master ;" and these are the men who are
screaming and writing about "rings" and
ring candidates." These ehriekers are
the very embodiment of ring workers.
They are the offending parties thim
eelves, and their candidates for State
officers are ring candidates ; so they will
be in this county, this coming fall.
Falu.o into Li.b. The Demo
crats of this county are falling into line
with the Wallace and McMullin platform

THE REIT ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Captaia Hall Nearly Beady te Kafl-IK-MTiptionof
Ilia Vessel -The Crew -Joe
and Hannah -Food Plaacf the Voyage.
From tba Washington Patriot.
The Polaris, formerly the Periwinkle,
is a vessel belonging to the Government,
but rebuilt and fitted for this expedition
in such a manner as almost to be a new
and very superior craft. She is about
400 tons measurement, considerably
larger than the Advance, in which Dr
Kane undertook his famous voyage, and
about the same size as the Germania,
which left Bremen two years ago on an
expedition to the Arctic Seas She has
been planked all over ber side with six
inches of solid white oak timbers, and
has throughout been nearly doubled in
strength ; her bows being almost a solid
mass of timber sheated with iron, and
terminating in a sharp iron prow with
which to cut through the ice. Her en
gine, which was built some years ago at
Messrs. Neafie &, Levy's works in Phila
delphia, is exceedingly powerful and
compact, taking up but comparatively
little space, and being peculiarly adapted
for hard and severe work, and the pro
poller is arranged in such a manner that
it can be unshipped and lifted np on
deck through a shaft or "propeller wheel '
in the stern, which is a gre'at advantage
when the vessel is under sail or sur
rounded by floating ice that might easily
damage the blades.
As to those who are going to be the
principals in this adventurous and dan
gerous expedition, they are, all told,
twenty-nine men. There is not a man
among them whose qualities and char
acter have not been well tested, from the
captain down to the cook. The leader
and commander in chief is, of course.
Captain Hall ; next in the command
comes Captain . U. Haddington, ot
New London, an old whaling master (if
thirty years' experiences, twenty -one of
which were spent in the Davis Strait and
Baffin's B-ty. He is an old and trusted
friend of Captain Hall, who has implicit
faith in his long experience and acknowl
edged ability. The second officer is Mr.
H. C Chester, also a whaling man of
twelve years' experience among the ice;
and the third officer is Mr. William Mor
ton, who was Dr. Kane s trusted f.ieud
and companion, and is the ouly living
mortal to whom it was ever permitted to
look upon the open Polar Sea. He Lad
the sad privilege to accompany Dr. Kane
to Havana, aud to bring bis remains
from there to I'biladelphia for interment
Mr. Lmil Schumau occupies the post of
first engineer, and the Scientific corps
will couiat of three gentlemen, one of
whom, Dr. Einil iiiss-11, of Heidelberg,
Germany, will attend the expedition as
a surgeon-naturalist. A student from
the Observatory at Ann Arbor, Michigan,
will probably be the astronomer ; and an
officer of the Signal Service Department
will be aboard in the capacity of meter
ologiot Besides these, there wi l be a
blacksmith, carpenter, steward and four
teen sailors, brides the Esquimaux in
terpreter, Joe, aod his wife, Hannah.
This latter interesting couple, with their
little daughter, are genuine specimens of
the Esquimaux, but having been in con
stant company with Captain Hall for
eight years past, they speak very good
English, and Lave acquired civilized
manners. Joe is a famous hunter and
"sealer," and his little wile is quite an
accomplished woman ia a small way,
with considerable talent for languages
and for music. Their little daughter,
who will accompany them, is five years
old
Altbongh Captain Hall expects to ac
complish his purpose of penetrating into
the great Polar basin, if such a one real
ly exists, and visitiug the North Pole in
less man tone years, toe roians Has
been provisioned four years, which can
be extended to six with a little economy
and judicious distribution of rations.
The great staple of provisions is the so
called "pemtnican,'' which is composed
of three parts of selected dried meat to
one part of the best suet, mixed with
some otner ingredients Xne food is
both nourishing aud wholesome, and,
through the absence of salt, there is no
danger of scurvy that pestilence of
Artie travelers to be feared from its
use. It is packed in 45 pound tin cans,
hermetically sealed, and of this there is
no less than 10,000 pounds stowed away
in the hold, the manufacture of which
consumed and condensed 23,000 pounds
of ordinary beef and 5000 pounds ot
suet. Besides this there is any quantity
of dried and dessicated vegetables, such
as potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc.. and a
large stock of flour, biscuits, euar, cof
fee, tea. condensed milk, canned fruits,
and all other necessaries for the protract
ed voyage, (.'apt. Hall, however, ex
pects to be able to economize with the-e
provisions to a very considerable extent
by substituting in tbeir place the meat of
the reindeer, musk ox, walrus and other
game of the regions that he is abo ut to
explore. Everything has been done to
make the quarters of both crew and of
ficers as comfortable as the rather lim
ited space would permit ; and the be-tween-decks
and cabins are perfect mod
els of cleanliness. The state-rooms for
the officers and scientists are plain, but
gotten up in good and convenient style,
and the cabin aft is a perfect drawing

Jeff. D&Tift.
Jeff. Davis is on a tonr through the
Southern States, making speeches and
talking about the lost cause, and endea
vors to keep alive the hope that the cause
ia not dead. v Every speech of such a
character that he makes only intensifies
the feeling of the Northern people, who
he foiced into a dreadful war for the
preservation of the integrity of this gov
ernment, against him. If he bad been
treated as he merited treatment, the fate
of the Moody leaders of the Paris Com
mune would have been his ; but as mercy
was extended to bim, now let him talk as
long as he does not attempt organization
The Philadelphia Inquirer says : He
should be permitted to talk as much and
as often as Le pleases. His treasonable
utterances thus far delivered have Lad
the effect of rousing the loyal people of
the North from their apathetic belief that
secession was reposing quietly in ' its
grave. Mr. Davis has kindly convinced
them that the dangerous monster still
lives and breathes, aud hopes to stir up
more strife. To prevent this sad con
summation the friends of the Union will
intrust with power none but men pledged
to ciush out the least symptoms of fresh
sectional trouble. Mr. Jefferson Davis
has sounded the signal of danger. He
deserves thanks rather than censure, and
encouragement to go on in his work."
" The First Sunday School."
l ne common opinion among persons
who have looked for the origen of the
Sunday School, is that a man named
Robert Raikes, of Gloucester, England,
opened one ia uloucester, in the year
1761. and that school has been pro
nounced the " first Sunday School." It
appears, however, that Pennsylvania has
the honor of giving birth to the first
school of that kind. A correspondent
of the Prets, in writing of the Dunkers ro
German Baptists, says that the first Sun
day School was organized in Lancaster
county by a number of Dunkers, who
had been excommunicated f r observing
the seventh day of the week instead of
the first or Sabbath. This is what the
correspondent says :
These excommunicated brethren formed
a Church of tbeir own views at Ephrata,
not tar trora Mill Creek, and now on the
Reading and Columbia Railroad, and
hero one of tbeir number established s
Sunday school, about 1735 or 1740,
which was regularly kept up for about
thirty years. As it was not till 17S1
that Robert Raikes hired his room and
his teachers for his Sunday school, at
Gloucester, England, Lancaster county,
in this State has the honor of having had
the first Sunday school, more than forty
years before it wa thought of by Raikes.
Hail it. been established in a larger place,
or brought prominently to public notice,
without doubt it would have become the
nucleus of that mighty organization that
must now date from the enterprise of
Robert Raikes. and Gloucester, England,
instead of Lancjster county, Pennsylva-

An exchange says, the Philadelphia
Sunday Mrcury, which we believe has
the reputation of being a sound Demo
cratic paper, after quoting comments of
Press and the New York Evening Post
on the 9ih resolution of the recent Demo
cratic State Convention, says :
"We could fill a column with this sort
of ridicule, if we had the room, but the
above quotations will serve our purpose.
They show how worse than useless it is
for the Democratic party to make any
verbal declaration on the subject of ne
gro suffrage, in so far as public credit of
their sincerity is concerned, and now
grossly tboy are losing confidence aud
strength even with Democrats by such
superfluous and mendacious resolutions
as that passed at Harriburg, only a fort
night since. We give Mr Lewis C. Cas
sidy and his comrads, in that mean hu
initiating, dirty btieiness, the discredit of
having passed a resolution which will, in
other States at least, prove a double
edged sword It will cut two ways. It
will not only disgust and drive off many
Democrats but prevent thousands of
honest and independent Conservatives
from voting with a party that has forged
a lie to win an election."

would utter a peculiar sound, when one

his aid, and the toad was sure to go un

continued for several minutes, until the
toads were completely "cleaned out,'
when the frogs joined in one triumphal
crook.
