THE WAR PILESS AND SUPPLEMENT—AN
TAXA= AND INVALUABLE PAP=
THE Wan Pines for the week ending
October 14th is now ready, and may be had
at our counter. It is already the largest
- weekly paper in the country, but, in order to
keep up fully with the demands of the times,
We this week add to its eight royal pages a
supplement of two, making sixty columns
of reading matter in all. But few adver
tisements are admitted into the WAR PRESS,
80 that in the sixty columns there is ample
scope for a careful digest of every occur
rence in the daily life of the world, at home
and abroad. Nothing isunnoticed, nothing
- unrecorded, so that at the smallest possible
Outlay the reader can put himself in com
munication with all mankind, and 'become
aware of their feelings, thoughts, acts and
intentions. Among other matters, this
number presents a full phonographic report
of the proceedings of the Episcopal Conven
tion since the first day of its session up to
and inclusive of Wednesday last ; latest re
turns of the elections in this State, lowa
and Ohio ; an interesting diary of the jour
ney of our "Travelling Correspondent"
i aaiefiOtat
"Nllceasional ;" Washington news; full
local, telegraphic and general news, to
gether with light reading—stories, poetry,
etc. Nowhere in this country or in Europe
can there• be found a weekly paper which
approaehes so near to the proper idea of a
newspaper as the WAR PRESS. Those who
once read it will continue to seek for it.
THE'LAST BUCHAIW PLATFORM.
It will not be uninteresting to the readers
of Trim Pnnas to know that the Old Public
Functionary, otherwise J. 8.--flavorably
remembered as en-President BITCRANAN—
is still living, less hale and hearty, about
mile from Lancaster. There is a tranquil
=odiousness of duty done in "the fa
vorite son of Pennsylvania. "—an easy
bearing, as if waiting for a well-deserved
reward that would do justice to that
eminent philanthropist, R BABITWELL
BRETT, who was kicked or escorted
out of General owARD's Freedmen's
Bureau a few days ago; or that pla
cid Sir Harcourt Courtley, JAMES M.
Maeou, now in Paris, embalmed in the beat
Bourbon. Wonderful is the complacency
and effrontery of the veteran criminals who
fed and fostered the hideous doctrines of Se
cession ; but none are equalled by the cold
and frosty en-President. He has filled his
hours of retirement, not as Ffwitv the Fifth
promised he would do, if God sent him vic
tory in the battle of St. Crispin, with deeds
of penitence and reparation, but with acts
of vindication of himself; and vengeance
upon his political foes. After pledging him
self to make ample amends for all that had
been wrongfully done by others, BRAES
FARE'S king concludes his earnest petition
lions ;
“more will 0.0;
Though all that I can do is nothing worth,
Since that my penitence comes after all,
Imploring pardon.”
Not so J. B. Like the celebrated Joseph
Bagstock, in Dombey & Son, probably the
ICLOBt selfish character ever DiCxENS drew,
he is " Tough, sir, tough, sir, and devilish
sly," and quite as conscious of his own im
portance as if he did not fill tile most dis-
honored page in our civil history. The leader
of the Democratic politicians mito traduced
21./ippx..w Joingscal while he was branding
treason in the Senate and sustaining the
arongest measures to pit down the rebel-
lion, our J. B. became a iv arm advocate of
President Jour:sox. In the recent election,
which was to have been so Overwhelming
a rebuke of "the radicals," and so hand
some an introduetory to the surrender of the
Government to the same hands that almost
surrendered it to the rebels in 18d1, he was
undoubtedly a"very active, though secret,
participant. All his immediate supporters
were alert and fertile of expedients. Judge
BLACK, his Attorney General (and Secre
tary of State after the retirement of Gene
ral CAss), was the appointed leader of the
Copperheads; and his organ, the_ Lan
caster Intelligeneer, was crowded with
strong appeals against STEVENS and the
Radicals. It is not difficult to trace where
the stimulating influence of these agencies
is to be found. As a fair specimen of the
doctrines asserted by the friends of the ex-
President, we lutve been furnished by a
friend at Lancaster with the following cir
cular, printed on the back of the envelope
in which the so-called Democratic ticket
was enclosed and sent to the voters of Lan
caster county :
TO WIIITE NEN!
Enclosed yon will find a Democratic ticket.
Yon should vote it for the following reasons:
Because the candidates on this ticket are
Pledged to sustain the Restoration policy of
resident Johnson, while their opponents sup
port the radical plans of Thaddeus Stevens.
Because they are in favor of lightening the
burdens of the working man by taxing all
citizens according to their wealth.
Because they favor a return to a specie cur
rency, and a reduction of the high price of
tour, meat, groceries, dry goods, coal, and all
the necessaries of life, which are kept up by
an inflated paper currency, to the great injury
of the working classes.
Because they favor economy in the adminis
tration of the Government, the abolition of
the Freedmen's Bureau, the dismissal of all
useless officials, and a speedy reduction of the.
army to a peace standard, whereby more them
one hundred million dollars a year woad be
saved.
Because they are pledged not to allow ne
gsoea to vote, to Mg 011ICO, to Sit on juries,
or to associate on terms of equality with white
men.
Because the Democratic party has boldly de
nounced negro Suffrage and negro equality,
while the Republican party has endorsed it.
Remember, the New I ork Tribune says "If
negro eaffrage be not an issue in Pennsylvania,
we know not what is And no republican paper
in Lancaster has dared to deny% .
This is the White Man's ticket. Vote it!
Vote nnrly 1 And see that your neighbor
does SO.
This last BucHARAN platform will serve
the double purpose of showing how low
even intelligent men will sink for the sake
of office, and how deliberately these Cop
perhead leaders insult and misunderstand
the American people. Mark !
The proffered support of the restoration
policy of President JonNsoN comes from
those who not only ignored but opposed the
Constitutional amendment for the'abolition
of slavery, and all the other explicit con
ditions to restoration set forth by AmmEw
JOIIITEO2.I in his interviews with the rebel
leaders.
The promise to "lighten the burdens of
the working men," by taxing the national
securities—for that 'is what is meant, and
only that—is based upon the intention. to
-repudiate a solemn contract between the
Government and the bondholders, in con
sequence of a solemn offer duly made by
the one and accepted by. the other. It is
natural that the sympathizers with traitors
should also be repudiators.
c t
The promise to ret specie payments
and to reduced prices ell made by a
party that would ha us without any
currency, as they h arly left us with
out a country, and i nsistent with the
opposition to our splendid financial system
started by BucrwiAn, and followed and
maintained by his followers.
The proposition to abolish the Freedmen's
Bureau comes with capital grace from the
men who offer to sustain President Jormj
son's Restoration policy, of which the
Freedmen's Bureau is a chief and an import
ant part.
The denunciation of the negroes exercis
ing-any civil rights is aptly set off and ex
posed by the formal demand of the New:
- York World of yesterday, in favor of lie
groes as witnesses in our courts of justice.
Is it any wonder that the "white men
'of Lancaster county indignantly turned
fronta platform so shameless as this We
reproduce it now only to show that J. B.!
'" still' lives," and that it will not be his
fault if, he does not bury the Democratic:l,
party as deep as he would have buried big

SOLDIERS vs. COPPERHEADS.
The Democratic leaders have tried every
thing but a publie storininent for their 8451.
and that must come if they would have 14
honest place in history, They will cer
tainly not, we predict, place any further
trust in the soldiers. One would suppose
that their investment in General IifeCLP.L.
LAN was sufficient, but 'they stubborn
ly refused to be convinced. On Tues
day, last their soldier candidates led them
into the most fatal ambuscades in the States
of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and lowa. It is
true, the Union men had soldiers to ecim.
mend them too ; but it is noteworthy that
even in counties where the Democrats se
duced the soldiera to accept their nomina
tions, and where the Union tickets (as in
Philadelphia) were almost wholly com
posed of civilians, the majorities against the
so-called Democratic tickets were heavier
than usual. The inference is irresistible
that "the boys in blue" cannot be coaxed
into the Copperhead camp ; and that the
attempt to seduce them by putting their
own friends at the head of the copper co
lumn, only angers them by reminding them
of the rebel trick of getting into Union
breastworks by stealing and wearing Union
uniforms. We greatly fear that Gene
eral SLocum, who is running in New
York as a Democratic candidate for a State
office, is about to pay the same penalty
for lending himself to the Copperheads
that befell Colonel Davcs in this State, and
General Korman M. Ohio. The New York
Times thus anticipates the General's fate
GEN. SLOCUM AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.—
The Syracuse Journal reproduces the follow.
ing extract from a letter written by General
Slocum in 1861. It runs thus
" CAMP FRANKLIN, Ira., October 26,1661.
"If 1 were at home I should most cordially
.
State and county tickets, for music vet to /earn
whet good reason any RepubLican can have for
deserting either his principles or his party. As
this is the only manner in which I Can assist
you this fall, I am very glad of the <Trowel],
nity to contribute the amount inclosed."
Perhaps General Slocum will tell us in his
next speech, if his owners and exllibitOrS per ,
mit him to make another, " what good reason
any Republican can have for deserting either
his principles or his party" in 1865 that did not
hold good in 18611
EXCUSES FOR DEFEAT.
It is amusing to notice the manner in
which the Opposition have received the
tidings of defeat in the city of Newark,
New Jersey. Impressed with the belief
that their State was sufficiently disloyal to
follow the course laid out by their leaders,
the Democrats never presumed that any
portion of their Commonwealth, wheiein
theyhad heretofore achieved success, would
desert them in the hour of need. Party
dissensions, failure to depbsit their ballots,
and other reasons are given , but the most
ludicrous of all is the one seriously offered
by the New Yoik ExpreBs, that several
hundred of their voters were absent in New
York, attending a temperance celebration.
It is well thus to prepare for the crushing
defeat which promises to reward the ex
ertions of the gallant Union speakers who
for some weeks have been addressing the
citizens of New Jersey ; and we would
suggest that preliminary steps be immedi
ately taken for the convening, on the day
the State officers are to be elected, of tem
perance or other gatherings in adjoining
States. Thus prepared with an excuse,
the annoyance and mortification of the
rank and file at the result of the election
will be considerably lessened.
44 TEE WORLD MOVER ALREADY!"
After every defeat the Democratic lead
ers promise repentance. We are not there
fore surprised that the World,should show
some signs of improvement, now that the
recent Union triumphs prefigure the sure
overthrow of its party in New York.
The World of yesterday -begins by taking
ground in favor of negro testimony :
" We trust that the wise course of the Provi
sional Convention in Alabama, which, SO far
as its powers went, conferred upon the freed
negroes the right to testify in the courts of
law, will set the key-note to all action on this
question throughout the South. The matter
concerns the Southern States very much more
than it can possible concern any one else, and
the sooner the disqualification to testify im
posed upon the negroes during slavery is:re
moved the more rapidly will the social order
of the South resettle itself upon the new bases
which the war has laid down. So long as the
negro was a chattel, subject to the will and
liableto be coerced' by the power of his owner,
there were some very real and substantial
reasons against admitting the testimony of
negroes in judicial trials. But with the aboli
tion of slavery , every vestige of a justification
for this disqualification has disappeared, and
that which may very well have operated. Un
der the institution of slavery as a social safe
guard must soon become under free institu
tiOnS a grievous social peril.
" The questions of negro suffrage and of negro
testimony have no more to do with each other
than the questions of female suffrage and fe
male testimony. The most advanced nations
Of Christendom have not yet thought it wise
or safe to admit women and children to a di.
Teat participation in the gimping of public
policy; but they do not, therefore, refuse to
women and children the right to be heard
before the public tribunals in eases directly
affecting their personal and social interests,
or the personal and social interests of other
members of the community."
WEEItg, Is JUAREZ I
There is direct news from Mexico to the
last day of September. At that time it was
believed in the city of Mexico that JUAREZ
had crossed the Rio Grande, at El Paso, to
Franklin, en route to Santa Ft', and this
was the practical end of his prolonged; and,
we must say, gallant resistance to the
.so
called Empire. Mr. NASANO, the Mexican
Consul at New York, who contradicted our
Mexican correspondent's statement, that
thrikltEz had retired to Texas, may have
something to say on this corroboration. of it.
JOHN - VAN BILTHEN has again become the
sure Jonah of the Copperheads. He never
joins a party without sinking it; and now,
after remaining perdu for some months, he
reappears, and throws ins dead weight into
their frail craft, as if he knew he would
carry them down. He staid just long
enough with the Unioniete. Had he re
mained with them much longer he would
have killed that party too.
WE have received the first number of a re
vived journal, the Wilmington (N. C.)Dispatch.
The Dispatch suspended publication upon the
arrival of our troops in thatcity, and reap
peered upon the 9th of this month. To give
an idea of its proposed course, we make the
annexed extract from its salutatory:
Wbou t in mg, North Carolina determined
in convention that she would • assume a posi
tion of hostility to the General Government,
and appealed to her sons to maintain that de
cision, then her decision was ours. We re.
eponded to that call promptly and willingly ;
and the services which were rendered as sol
diers of our State and of the Confederate army
were cheerfullj, zealously, and conscientiously
performed. We have no regrets to express at
this. But, while being Southerners and North
Carolinians who are true, very true, ,to the
good old State, as well as to the section in
which we reside, we have furthermore re:
newed our allegiance to the Government of
the United States; we are loyal citizens, and
the oath which we have taken we will faith
fully abide by."

Grant reached rennsvivania Unit tO
tome the moral command of the National

sword is so eloquent that his tongue need not,
speak his "proud fortune,” saw for himself
that his battles had not been fought In vain;
and that, commingled with the gratitUde that
preserves and canonizes his immortal deeds,

Jesse Grant, at the great Union meeting in
Ohio a few days age. The old man said, and
the young man heard him say:

savage, and wicked civil war—a war that is a
disgrace to civilization. But how did you get

they sacrificed the conuorts of domestic life,

down rebellion. They did put them down,

These words, spoken for Ohio, have a special
significance for Pennsylvania on this almost
summer October morning of trim:l4h. And
none feel them -more keenly than the leadeys
of the so-called Democracy. They had many
advantages in the canvass—at least what they
thought were advantages...and theyused them
with a wicked industr3). How many parts
they acted ! They were workingmen, soldiers,
and negro-haters ; and they played on these
several strings with an energy that showed,
if not their sincerity, at least their anxiety
for office. But their favorite theme ' indeed
their "last hope," was devotion to Andrew
Johnson and his policy. Their candidates
sermonized with incessant declamation
on this text, and their olaquers applauded
them to the echo. Judge Black, Richard
Vaux, Hiester Clymer, and lion. John
L. Dawson were unusually active and
persuasive in making the worse appear the
better reason. But in vain. The people look
ed, listened, laughed, and voted them down, •
Not inappropriately, the Democratic candi
date for Mayor of this'city is a worthy gentle
man named Fox; and his name was a fair
symbol of the matireuvres of the leaders I
have alluded to. d'Very crafty and very agree
able they were to President John Son. Oh,
they had always been his friends ; and now
they would protect him from the ugly radical
wolves that sought to get into his happy
household and feed • upon his corpse. " They
were Democrats of the old school”—they
were " opposed to negro suffrage"—they did
not believe the insurgent States could be
earned out of the Union;,-and if he
would only take them by the hand and
clothe them with his confidence, they would
run the machine of government, and save him
all farther trouble. 4 ' There was a story afloat,"
they said, "that they were the same men whO
had slandered his public and befouled his pri
vate character for four years.; but this was a
foul slander, their names having been used by
a set of Copperhead scamps, who were now
very justly tabooed by all decent men"' Very
foxy, devilish sly, they were. But in vain. The
people among whom they lived and labored
knew them, and repudiated them with unut
terable contempt. If the President had for
mally decided that the Copperhead claim to
his favor should be referred to "the jury
