The Ureat Democratic Mass Heeling-One j
Speech, j
The great Democratic Mass Meeting
that Mr Jackman, Chairman of tbe ring
wing of the Democracy in Juniata, an
nouuced iu posters large enough f:r a
State or National Convention, came off,
on Monday evening, in tbe Court House, i
,Vr. nmgan, nt 1 lnlarfelpnia, was an- ;
r.o'.i.u i-1 hs the gentleman for tbe occa I
i. !i, h. 1 as to administer tbe panacea J

in 'cni, niiu uiivu out jr-eif j iBin ,
ili.i Gieely men as the good men of '
old used to drive the evil spirits out of
those who were possessed of them, and '
blend them all in one common brother- J
hood. But Mr. Carrigan did not appear
in person. He was present only by j
proxy, in tbe person of a Philadelphia ;
gentlemau whose name we cannot now i
get to the end of our pen. j
The meeting was organized by electing
Ir. Jacob Cbri-ty president, with a full !
.complement of vice presidents and secre-
Varies The orator wns introduced by j stock for Hartranft, have been siczed
tab'; president. He launched out eloquent- j upon by the Democrats and are circula
te, and for time lie seemed to have nei- i led among their party as an evidence that
tlier chart or helm, but beat the compass
jit .every point, then grandly rose on the
ibiliovs t iUe Democracy of Jefferson
nnd Jackson, and thence glided down
into she trough of the sea of Greeleyiera,
where be floundered sai fully in the ef
fort to work himself and bis audience up
to the bejief tbat now there .exists no
difference between the Greeley men and
the Democracy, and that Greelcyism and
Ciuc iunati means Democracy, and noth
ing short of it. While in this elysian
fkid of iiu.-niony he suddenly became
conscious that tbereis a Bi:?'h-out Pern
ociatic movement on foot against In? com
bination wTth Mr. Greeley, and straight
way delivered himself against the Louis
villy. Convention in ireful language. He
declared tbat President Grant was at tbe
bottom of the movement, and that his
whole desire is to split the Democratic
party ; just as though it were not now
drifting about in fragments. Thence he
took a backward step a dozen years, and
visited the Democratic Convention at
Charleston, South Carolina, that nomiua
td Jebn C Breckintidge for President
iu lSOO, and charged the Republicans
with breaking tip that Convention and
the Democratic party, as they are now
trying to do at Louisville. He might
have addel that the Republicans pre
vented Mr. Breckinridge and bis friends
from iiretiking up this government. He
passed that point, however, uuuoticed,
aud landed squarely with bis whole
weight a ' Bstt Pntlw." He Ftylrd him
disorgatiizer, a roan seeking false gods,
bat to his credit, he left "lienV table
service and "spoon' out Like the man
with the "league beota," he made fearful
leaps, and left Charleston, and again land
ed at Louisville, and declared that the
men who composed that Convention were
self-constituted delegates, and none of
those he knew were men of character,
lie inveighed against them bitterly.
Again be lauded the Greeley movement,
and seemed to be nnder the lead of Mr.
Cbilds and Drexel, of Philadelphia, who
are a guarantee that the movement is a
good one, in bis view.
All this was nicely enongh delivered,
and fell like the crystal drops of an
arctic shower, that does not warm bnt
produces a dreadful chill. lie now ar
raigned President Grant, just there in our
dear old court honse, and gave him a trial
for having blooded stock and being rich
It wai an unlawyer like affair ; any of
our Mifflin lawyers are capable of giving
him a better one. Jack man missed the
mark in his orator. Our home ability is
infinitely better ; but the gag of the
nursing committee and ling must be ob
served, lie produced no evidence, but
insinuated that the President came by
bis means through mean and unfair ways.
wbeu the evidence is clearly open and
known to the world that a grateful peo
pie, at the close of the war, in apprecia
tion of the services rendered to the nv
tion, made him rich by bestowing upon
bim lands and houses, before even Lis
name was spoken of in connection with
the Presidency just as they made Gen
eral Sherman rich. He, too, has been
the recipient of wealth at tbe bauds of a
grateful people, for great services ren
dered the nation iu times of sore distress.
Be might, with a much consistency,
have denounced General Fbermau for
rit-h. r
IIow the gentleman got over the '-bloody
chasm" is an tlnsolved problem.. It is
guessed, however, that his vaulting pro
pensity helped him over. He failed to
say a word about it. Evidently it is no
Banqtio's ghost to him.
After delivering himself against Grant,
as above indicated, he finished and left
him by declaring bim an ass.
He would not deal iu invectives, but
General Hartranft is a criminal, and. in
stead of being a candidate for Governor,
should be 'in a felon's cell in the Eastern
Penitentiary. It was singular that he
did not allude to the Evans swimile.
Doubtless it was too thin for the gentle
man's genius. There was not wool
enough iu it to cover the eyes of those
prcseut, aud he gave it the go by.
His thrusts at Hartranft were made
through tbe State Treasury. He repeat
ed the charge that is heard every day,
tbat a certain amount of State funds are
deposited by the State Treasurer in banks
iu different parts of tbe Common wealth.
and that these IWvore-d banks pay ewj
tain amount of interest to the Treasurer,
and that the Treasurer pockets a portiou
of this interest and divides the balance
among his friends, aud that General
Hartranft is an acquaintance and friend
nf the Treasurer and has also received a
. . . . . . ,,
portion of tins interest. It is a well
knowrvfact that business men when they
purchase bonds, railroad stocks, oil stocks
or any other stocks, do it through bank
ers or brokers. It is almost an impossi
bility to get snch papers through any
j other channel. A broker in Philadelphia
bad been intrusted with some State funds
He became financially embarrassed, and,
in the language in common use, "broke
up'' as many an other man, with tbe
confidence of the community in which
be resides, has done and the State lost
, i - . , , n,, .
one ounnrea inousana dollars, mis
broker, previous to this trouble, had been
a man in such standing that it was not
deemed improper for good men to deal
with him." For the violation of trust re
posed in him by tbe Treasurer of tbe
State, be is now undergoing a state of
imprisonment. General Hartranft bad
gome business transactions with this
broker, as doubtless hundreds of other
good men have had. and tbe letters that
have passed between tbe General and the
oroker, relative to the purchase of some
he had to do with speculations in State
lunuc.
It may be true that State Treasurers
have drawn and used tbe interest of tbe
State funds kept on deposit in various
banks. Ifit-istrue.it has been prac
ticed many years. IIow many Demo
cratic State Treasurers have availed
themselves of the chance thus to make
money the gentleman did not say ; and
if Charles It. Buckalew and his friends
get into the power of the State govern
ment, unless the law be changed, they
will not hesitate to do the same thins
over. The rafest way is for the people
to retain Republican rule, and demand
that the law be so changed as to forbid
such VOik hy t"e Treasurer All evils
in the ranks of the Republican party can
be weeded out, if tht people but unite
sgniint them. The orator did sot cay
that if his friends get iuto power that no
such thing will take place. He did not
say that they will chang3 and so amend
tbe law that such work cannot be prac
ticed. lie left that open. Mr Jackman
should have taken his friend by the coat
sleeve, pulled him down and whispered
in bis ear that it is believed here in Juni
ata tbat some Democratic cx-treasarers
had been members of a ring for the pur
chase of county orders at a heavy dis
count, and then charged the full face
value of the orders upon the county.
But Jackman pasted the chance.
After bis tirade on Hartranft. the
apeakr verec! and made a dash at Grant's
1 Hi !
relatives, and Miss Nellie Graut, who is
now traveling in Euiope. This passage
across the water got him on to foreign
soil, from which he assailed Secretary
Fieb, who he designated as one of tbe
mackeral kind, with a bad smell tbe
moonlight he left out Fish, in his view
of tbe case, has made a botch oat of the
Cuban question, and had neglected the
interests of American citizens on that
island, once so much coveted by the slave
power. He longed for the good old days
of Franklin Pierce. He wonld have
settled with Caba and Spain in a differ
ent way.
Santo Domingo not being far away
from Cuba, of course it was the most
natural of thing for the orator to step
over and occupy it. He did so, and was
heavy on it. If he had read Sumner on
that question it would have been more
interesting to listen to.
The Sf.ntinel reporter left while be
was doing his best effort on tbis island
We have since been informed that be did
that territory and then returned to Penn
sylvania, paid his parting respects to
Ilaitranft, and enjoined his brethren in
Juniata, and the ring particularly, to
work hard agaiust the General declaring
that Buckalew must get his majority in
the country, that Philadelphia would
give Hartranft a majority of ten thou
sand. A Theory Applied.
Sir. Buckalew has taken the rostrum
in his own . behalf. The Democracy
having no well defined political creed,
Mr. Buckalew of course devotes himself
to criticism. The Senator delivered a
characteristic speech at Pottsville on
last Friday evening. A city paper
turns the scales, and that addresses itself
to the Senator's national record. Mr.
DucKarew aaio ? When men are np for
public office aud they have a public rec
orJ, it is not ouly our bu.-iuoss but our
duty to examine it, and if there be iniq
uity upon it, then sure condemnation
should be borne to the fit nder." It is
becanse we have tpengnized the right
eousness of this principle that we have
thought it worth while to examine the
public record of Sir. Charles It Buck
alew, and to show to the people that
there is such iniquity upon it as Bhould
serve to exclude In in from the Chief Mag
istracy of this great and loyal State.
That record demonstrates that while Mr
Unckalew was in Congress Be voted
against the Fifteenth Amendment, against
the repeal of the wicked Fugitive Slave
Law, against a Civil Rights bill which
gave to colored men eqnality before the
law and aga'nst establishing the Freed
man's Bureau He supported a resolution
offered by a Kentucky secessionist, pro
viding that escaped slave.) who were en
lisfA in our armies should bo discharged
and the'r pay given to their former owu-
era. When gold was wo lie advocated
the payment of our troops in specie, hop
ing by his action to embarrass the gov
ernment nnd disturb its finances He
voted against paying bounties to volun
teer ; be protested against giving to black
soldiers the same pay as while soldiers ;
he opposed the conscription law, and he
even tried to prevent the payment of
tbe militiamen who were called out to
repeal an invasion of his own State. He
also voted against the reconstruction acts
and their supplements g he engaged iu
conferences with the rebel conspirators
at Niagara Falls, and he opposed, iu the
following language, the extension of suf
ferage to black men :
"Now, sir. the objection which I have
to a large, extension of siifTrtgc in tbiis
country, whether by Federal or State
power, is this : That thereby you will
corrupt aud degrade elections, aud prob
ably lead to their complete abrogation
hereafter. By pouring into the ballot
boxes of the country a lare mass of ig
norant voters and votes subject to pe
cuniary and social influence, you will
corrupt and degrade your elections and
lay the foundation for their ultimate des
truction. This is a conviction of mine,
end it is upon that ground tbat I resist
njro wjfragc anif Jrma'c mffrngc and
nny oilier yr'po td form of niffraye
which take humani'y in an lut'tuty broad
or enlarged sotte as the foundation of an
arrangement of political power "
In the presence of the facts recited
here, is it not simply just that Mr Back
slew should be made to feel the weight
of that "sure condemnation" which be
admits sbonld fall upon a public man
whose record is filled with wrong ? We
do not demand for him any punishment
but the denial by the people of his fit
ness to wield the Executive power of this
State If bis hopes had been fulfilled, if
his machinations had been "successful we
shmild now have a divided country.
Unless we are to admit that the consum
mation at which he aimed would have
been a blessing and not a curse, it will
be grossly improper to confer upon him a
klofty honor to which there is an aspirant
who, while Mr. Buckalew blotted treason
in the Senate Chamber, fougbt open
treason boldly and successfully in the
field.
Stralght-Ont Democrats.
Topes a, Kan., August 27. The
Straight-out Democrats assembled here
uj-day. aud passed resolutions repudiat
ing Grtfley, re-affirming Demociatic
principles, and endorsing Charles O'Con
or for President. -
Minister Curtiu has returned from Rus
sia in poor health. Physicians say, how
ever, that his health will be restored to
him soon.
Three-quarters of a million of "pam

Wkat a Demr.erit thinks of Gtm. Grant.
Sir Samuel B- Axtell. who was the
Democratic member of the Fortieth aud
Forty-first, Congress from the San Fran
cisco district, has declared for Grant and
Wilson. In a letter he says.
-It ; trne that I have not sold ont to
the Cincinnati cabal, nor have I stood
! the Baltimore transfer. I have voted
with tbe Democratic party for more than
tweuty years, but this is the first time I
was ever invited by them to vote for a
political opponent upon a platform form
by political opponents. Of these two I
have had most oppertnnity to observe
General Grant . I saw something of him
as Geneaal of he army, acting Secretary
of War nnder Johnson, and during the
first two years of the Presidency. He
was the same man all the time ; cool,
self reliant and well posted npon men aud
measures I am snre he is consistent.
I am snre he can be kuown as well in
the dark as in the light. Undoubtedly
he makes mistakes, but I cannot believe
tbat he is wilfully corrupt. He will
make a better President for four years to
come than in the four years past. I
think he will bo freer to act and have a
purer Administration since certain fac
tions and impracticable men have left
bim. I have no hesitancy in saying that
I believe that it will be for, the best in
terests of onr country that he should be
continued in office for another term. From
the peculiar combinations made to ens
tain Mr. Greeley, it appears impossible
that bis Administration could be harmo
nious or consistent. I should fear the
same wrangling and discord which mark
ed aud marred the unfruitful years of
Andrew Johnson."
Tub New York lL-rald correspond
ence from Washington states that it was
Chas. IVHOTkalow, of Pennsylva-
J nia, wh 1 first suggested to the confeder
ate emissaries iu Canada the propriety
of using Horace Greeley as an instru
ment for negotiations, and through him
gain the good will of Mr. Lincoln.
Cornell Jewett, who was tbe companion
of Thompson and Ilolcome at Niagara,.
carried out the suggestion of Buckalew,
and Secretary Chase encouraged Horace
Greeley, to go to Niagara. Mr. Lincoln
opposed the movement, and said that
just at that time, it was absolutely neces
sary to sbow a bold front, and be could
not sanction any compromising policy.
Mr. Holcombe, the. Confederate Commis
sioner, in his report to Benjuniu, the
rebel Secretary of State, says :
"Besides the crowd of less distinguish
ed persons I saw during the course of
the summer, iu some instances repeated
ly, Governor Hunt of New York, and

Alabama represent that the destruction
of cotton by worms is more thorough
than ever before. The worms have eaten
the leaves and forms until the fie'ds are
as bare as after a frost. The naked con
dition of tbe plant 'reveals the fact that
the mature fruitage is not so great as
usual at tbis season'. Fears of almost
universal bankruptcy among the planters
are entertained.
Tragic Ending of an Elopement.
Alexandria, August ?1. A special
to . the Gazette says tbat Clark, who
eloped with Miss Fcwell, was shot this

wounded, and is supposed to bedead by
