VALLANDIGIUM is repudiated by the hon
est, Union-loving Democracy of his dis
trict. Gen. VANDEVEER and hundreds of
others have promptly repudiated the traitor,
and announce their intention to "vote as
they shot"—against rebels in every guise,,
now and hereafter for all time to come.
11 3.loxsTmt 31Ass ATP.Prnio of the
"Boys in Blue" is designed to be held,
probably at Philadelphia, about the Ist of
October. It is said to be the intention "to
make this !demonstration the largest and
grandest assemblage of veterans since the
famous review in Washington at the close
of the war."
THE Ebensburg Alitighenian, after a brief
suspension, has resumed publication and
comes to us as bright and smiling as ever.
J. TODD HUTCH:M/30N, its former editor,
and ED. JA-AIES, haye assumed the editorial
duties, and they will undoubtedly sustain
the high reputation the Alleghenian has
ever enjoyed.. We wish the pager long life
and prosperity.
ISRAEL/TES, who are entreated by the
Democracy to vote against General GRA.) iT,
upon the talk charge against him of the
proscription,of their race, will do well to re
member that - the Tennessee Democracy
killed one of their brethren, Mr. BIERFIELD,
at Franklin, the other day because he was a
Union-man, and that a leading Democrat
ic paper at Nashville justifies his murder
on Scriptural grounds:
VEILY FEW of the stump -orators battling
for the success of the Democratic party care
to enter into any argument on what they
style in general terms the "bond question."
They skim the surface, cover' difficult
problems with high sounding phrases and
cleverly rounded periods, but never once
reach the heart of the subject. The in
stincts of men are honest, and these orators
-- fear to go into the truth of the questions
which enter the canvass.
THE cattle-disease has broken out, with
fatal virulence, in the vicinity of Cincin
nati, one daify-man having Most his entiFe
stock of, cows, and its early development
among the native stock at many Eastern
points is anticipated.. The farmers of Illi
nois, who have been sufferers in this way,
intend to proceed against the railway com
panies for the violation rof an express law
of that State, which prohibits the transpor
tation of such cattle. They have also taken
measures to hold the importers of the Texas
cattle responsible, and have succeeded
already in recovering $5,000 from one
dealer at Kankakee. • •

THE CITY TREASURY
The "card" of Mr. 4 . J.INDER in a city
journal of 'yesterday, announcing himself
as still an independent candidate for the
Treasurership, excited only a feeling of dis
gust among the honest, honorable and in
telligent Republicans of the city,-and none
were more free in,giving utterance to that
feeling than were citizens who had supported
him at the primary meetings.
• On the 10th of August, the City Execu
tive Committee adopted the annexed reso
lution
WilErtVas,• Thee last municipal election has de
monstrated that unity in action Is necessary, and
that all persons Si:mitting their names to the Re
publican party for office should pledge themselves to
support the nominees; therefore,
Resolved. That the candidates for the Republican
nominations for city offices are hereby requested to
present in,writing to the Secretary of the City Ex
ecutive Committee on or before Wednesday, August
12th, Pe . a notification of their will , ngness to abide
the derision and support the nominees' of the Re
publican primary elections: to be held Saturday,
August 13th, ISM. The Secretary of the Committee
to snake nubile on Thursday, August lath, tlitoogh
the Republican papers of the city, the names of the
persons who have notified him of their candidacy,
and the election boiirds of the various wards arc
hereby instructed and authorized to count the votes
cast for swell candidates only as shall have Complied
with,the resolution.
As requested by Ihe above resolution,
each of the gentlemen proposed as-candi
dates before the primary meetings, gave the,
Seoretary written "notifications," pledging
the writers to a faithful support of the nomi
nations. The communication from Mr. At.-
,
LINDER was perhaps the most frank and
decisive of any; and was as follows
CITY TIIEASCRER•S' OFFICE.
PITTSIICR(111, 11 1.
, OE N. A. L. PEARSON, Secretary OfAugust
the It e p ublican
Executive Committee:
Dear Sir: As a candida.e for nomination before
the Republican VO+ ere of the city of Pittsburgh for
the office of City Treasurer. in accordance with a
resolution of said ,Committee, passed on the even
in of the loth instant. I respond that, having full
faith in the honesty and integrity of the - people, I
shall with pleasure abide by their decision, to be
given at the ballot-box on the 15th of the present
month. and sha:l support the nominees which they
place upon the Repu Mean ticket.
. Yours, very respectfully,
At the ensuing Saturday's election, Mr.
ALLINDER was defeated, receiving but 1,759
votes to 2,269 for COCHRAN and 955 for
TomiaNsoN, or but a trifle over one•third of
the whole poll. After waiting one week,
he' repudiates his pledged word of honor
and, with vague, loose, indefinite accusa
tions against the fairness of the poll,' again
enters, thp field.
Mr. ALLINDER has a right to be a candi
date for any office, at any time, under any
circumstances, in the face of any pledges, in
disregaxd of any honorable enzagements, in
violation of any explicit agreements and in
contempt for any requirement of truth—if
he wishes. Whether Republican voters will
support such a man, is quite another thing.
His veracity, his honor, his sense of fair
dealing between man and man, are his
own, and we shall not impugn them. The
style in which he himself chooses to parade
these qualities will,enable the public to form
a very clear %id unanimous opinion in the
premises without any suggestions from us.
When we find a man resolute to commit
a political harikari, we hav'nt the remot
est wish to interfere with him, for it is usu
ally the best disposal he can make of himself;
it disposes of him finally and as a general
thing tolhe satisfliction of the public.
But, when Mr. A..maNDE$ attempts to ex
cuse his breach of honorable faith, by the
assertion that he "was openly and shame
fully defrauded in many of the old city
wards," he says what he has no right to say,
because it is not true in fact, and we call
upon him to prove his assertion. , He can
not bring such charges ap.inst the Republi
cans. of this city without supporting them
withproqf, or being himself branded as he
stiould be. We believe that no primary
election more honest and fair was ever held I
than that which declined the continuance ! of
Mr. Aw.axnEn's official services, and We
shall continue to think so, until he proves
his allegations to be well founded. His
"buncombe" talk about a "ring" is of
course only a bid for . Democratic support;
If a,"ring" ever existed here,-a good many
Republicans were active in flattening it last
year, and to make sure work of this job, the
entire Republican party of the city finished
it np handsomely this year, by abolishing
the delegate system and taking into their
own hands the duty of selecting a ticket.
And this is the ring of 5,600 Republicans
which the defeated candidate don't like.
THE SLAVES TO BE PAID FOR.
The Quid /rune, a Democratic journal
printed at•Clarksville,`West Virginia, in its
issue for August 14th, takes decided around
in favor of enforc.ng payment from the
Government for the emancipated slaves. It
says:
The most. sanguine and fanatical adherent of the
present government cannot point. t, to any legal au
thorlte tor the emancipation of slavery and until
the e is such authority, we shall be compelled to re
gard the negrues as staves. • • • • 7111 , * people
of the North may understand this at once, and pre
pare fur It. • • • WPlLltelld to ruu this idea un
tilvre make something of lt,.'or else run, It Into the
, round and quit, • • • • 'Let us have peace" and
money fur the negroes.
Nothing is more certain than that the re
turn of the SEYMOUR. and Brant Democracy
to power would be followed by'one of two
things : either the re - enslavement of the
freedmen, or the payment of thousands of
millions of dollars from the Treasury to
their former owners. The Democratic plat
form at New York, and Democratic jour
nals generally, keep mum on this question
for the present, but, here and there, journals
like the one quoted above, are indiscreet
enough to "speak Out in meeting." Let It
be remembered, therefore, that payment for
the slaves is already demanded by the South
ern Democracy, and that, unless they can
restore their old rebOlious State govern
ments and reduce the colored men to bond
age again, or get a fair price for them from
the National Treasury, Brain's new re.
hellion is to be forthwith inaugurated, and
additional thousands of millions are to be
expended, either in maintaining the Union,
or in satisfying this infamous demand. Let
all who love their country unite now In
crushing this treasonable party forever !
DID the wages of the laboring classes
proportionately advance with the increased
premium on geld when it was forced up by
inflation to $2,80 ? Did not the commodi
ties of life rise_ in price with gold, and even
approach unwarrantably high figures at the
same time? Workingmen, consider these
questions, and then discover if you can, how
you are to be benefitted by; another grand"
issue of greenbacks, as• proposed by the
Democratic party. .
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : 01pAY. AUGUST 24, 1868
Arrangements have been made to wel
come CARL SCHURZ, the orator, scholar and
patriot, who will arrive in the city to-night,
in arch a manner as will make him feel that
his steady and consistent efforts in the cause
of Liberty and Truth are heartily acknowl
edged by the loyal masses of Allegheny
county. Let all turn out to-night and swell
the procession in honor of the great exponent
of the intelligent German element of the
country. The Grant and Tanner Clubs
will form into line at Wilkins Hall, Fourth
street, and every Republican voter is cordi
ally invited to take a place in the ranks.
The Germans will form at City Hall.
Remember, as you honor Scnunz, you
honor the great masses, of your German
fellow-citizens, as well as the undying prin
ciples he so fearlessly represents and in
terprets.
TILE FIRST DEMOCRATIC REBEL-
LION.
When South Carolina seceded, December
20, 1860, the next day a leading journal. of
the Northern Democracy, the Cincinnati
Enquirer, in an article announcing the se
cession, and further discussing "the policy
of coercion," said: -
A 'general civil war between ten millions or
American citizens in the Soot',and twenty millions
In the North, would be the result. Iklrol not twenty
millions, for nearly half of our population Would
-decline to equuten anne or have anything to do with
the festi•lcidal strife. • No, coercion. would Induce
the Northern Democrat a and Coservatives to
shoulder their muskets. and under Abolition lead
era. March to the South to desolate its fields and,
mur•hr Win brothers. This nlay as well be ander,
stood now ah any oth.r time.
The settle journal speaking of the North
ern Democracy; the next day; said,' in ref
erence to the withdrawal by Major ANDER
-sos of the soldiers from Fort Moultne,
thus:
. ALLINDER
If the retaining or those forts would.rendera col
lision Ines itahle betwt en the Federal and state
forces, we would say, abandon them without a
struggle.
. .
The same journal, in Its 'issue for De-•
cember 28, 1860, Advocated the organization
of a Northwestern Confederacy in this style:
There is another topic growing out of a separation
pf . our beloved Union, which it may be premature to
refer to, but the signs of the times give little to
hope, but that ere long the fi rent West will be called
to decide where she will. go; whether sh will ally
herself to a kindred people whose every interests,
social and pecuniary, are common, or w tether she'
will. 02 a quest ion coneerning the. negro,with which,
as Stales, we have nothing to do. will joln herself
with the Northeast, a people with whom we have
very llttle syMpathy, and whose interests are an
tagonistic. .
These extracts fairly illustrate the temper
with which the Northern Democracy •then
sympathized with and encouraged that re
bellion. The same spirit governs them now.
It'is the essence of their 'platform and the
great aim of their candidates.
THE TRUE DOCTRINE OF THE DE'
NOCRACT.
The Lagrange (Texas,) New Era of the
13th , ult., supporting the Dominations of
Smstoun and BLAIR, frankly and pointedly
sets forth the real Democratic doctrine
thus:
IThese thirteen Independent State: created the
Constitution. In consequence of an erroneous hies
j about tho Union. they hare labored under the equal
ly foolish one that the Union was absolutely
,signed to be - perpetual. Thlr war an error. •
, • • • • Like the marriage - compact.
'men pliFhted faith i, v lolattd and huitor Impeached
-tt must be_Yroken. 't he laws of man—the
laws of GOd. demand that It shall be broken. Such
a Union Milt be broken nn / , 'BN arid rog•lber by brute
force; by itt • bloody sword arm. , Tuirricide in 8h4154,
infamy, d prcutut on and dishonor: by monFters
hateful to (hod and roan.
'We like this outspoken candor. It re
veals exactly what the Democratic platform
means. They don't trouble .themselves in
! the South about bonds and taxation, tin
they intend to shift their share of the pub
lic burthens upon the Northern Democracy
by cutting loose from the Lnion altogether.
A STATEMENT that the Public D ebt has
been increased "from March 3lst, '65 to
August Ist, '6l one hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars," is going 1.. e rounds of the
Democratic press, and to give it the aspect
of plausibility, they quote pretended state r
menu from Secretary McCuLLocn, report
ing the debt, March Ist, '65 at t2,366,955,-
077 44. - This is a clear fabrication; the Sec
retary never reported such figures. He re
ported July Ist, '65, the total of the debt as
82,481,134,717 38, and in October Ist, '65,
the total was 82,808,549,437 9i the in
crease representing the immense sum re
quired in paying off the soldiers j and other
war claims and disbanding the volunteat
army - .7:r.‘From that point—the highest ate
twined by the debt—'it has been since steadily
diminished. Come, gentlemen,•do have some
regard for the truth, at least so far as to
avoid such palpable fals.ehoods . as the one
herein exposed.
HERE is another gem of Southern Democ
racy, which sparkled from the lips of den.
C. A. Battle, at a Seymour and Blair ratifi
cation meeting in Mobile on the 11th ! See
how candidly' he accepts Blair's ideas,, and
observe the reasons he gives for it : -
"Comrades, brothers, year after year you
bore the Confederate flag through fire and
tempest, and ii n more than two hundred
battle fields co .d it with victory. ** I
am here to-nig to ask you to come up to
the altar, of the South, ' and lt us again
pledge to her our lives, our fortunes and our
sacred honor. The Dernocratic i party offers
the most honorable terms. It endorses
principles for which you battled. Not only
does it declare in faVor of that 'constitution
so dear to you, but it most solemnly declares,
that all these acts of reconstruction, so to.'
tally destructive of your rights, and so re
pugnant to every honorable feeling, are itn.,
constitutional, null and void. Seymour and
Blair are the ehdmpions of the constitutional
liberty, for which you braved a hundred bat
tlefields. I ask you to, bring Into the can
vass the high qualities of courage and forti
tude that you haVe so signalized in your
past career. Press to the front; carry your
colors deep into the enemy's lines. Come
war or - pestilence, come death in all its ter
rible array, rather than suffer the ,slightest
stain of di,slnior."
• Ox TIII 28th of June, 1887, the Pi
Post said :
What better thing can wit dO In case of General
Grant's nomination by the Republican party than
be to strengthen as much 11 , 4
to vole for him for the Presidency Y our aim should
party and 1.0 elect hint as the p President of the peo
ple. If unanimously, so much the better. I
• •We solemnly believe that if the people generally
ossible Independent of
of the United Mates eau come together with real
' unanimity on General Grant, In regard tt*the Pres
dency it will be the happiest thing for our country
that could possibly occur. The future good effects
of this eourse are altnest Incalculable, We earnestly
ask onr Democratic friends everywhere to consider
this subject carefully."
The Post'a first question is unanswered
and unanswerable. Its advice to the De
.
mocracy was sound, and events are rapidly
vindicating its wisdom. Gen. GRANT' toff/
be elected as the President of the people,
and none will be better satisfied with • the
result than the eloquent and patriotic writer
of the paragraph 'quoted.

THE INSANITY OF POLITICS.
Under this caption, the Philadelphia
Ledger, usually known as an independent
journal, but with Democratic proclivities
.printed, editorially, a few 'days since, the
annexed dignified and candid protest against
the revolutionary policy of the Democratic
party. Showing, as it does, the occasion
for serious alarm, and as bearing cogent
testimony to the correctness of the interpre
tations which the friends of the Union have
.
placed upon reeent Democratic avowals of
principles and intentions, the Ledger article
deserves a thoughtful p"usal. It say's:
Every good citizen ust look with pro
found regret upon a gr t deal that is'now
going on. in the Sout ern States. There
was room for the belief, after the rebellion
was suppressed, and hen the Southern
people were brought fa e to face with the
wide spread • ruin that 'was brought upon
them by that "gigantic blunder," as some
of their statesmen called it, and crime, as the
nation regarded it, that they would never
more give countenance to the hot-Ifeaded
and liair"-braind orators and 'Writers who
had dragged them into that terrible desola
tion. But notwithstanding the bitter ex
perience of the past seven years, that fruit
ful section of our country is still cursed with
the influence and the active agency of the
same classes of men. But a short time ago
it was the belief of an unquestionable ma
jority of the people of the old free States,
that the planters, farmers, merchants, inanu
facturers, and all others in the South, en
gaged in industrial and productive pursuits,
were heartily sick of all the mem
ories of the late rebellion, and were anx
ious to put them all aside, so that they
might get their business afthirs into success.
ul action once more, and go on with the
necessary operations of life. There can be
but little doubt that such was the case, and
we cherish the belief that: it still remains
true to the masses of the people of that sec
tion of our country. Yet what wonder is
it that many plain,. good people in'the North
and West believe that the rebellious spirit
still prevails, only waiting for another op
pcirtunity to break out afresh ? They are
told so day after day, and week after week,
by those who ate put forward or who
: put
themselves forward as the representative
spokesmen of the old slave States., This
comes to us from conventions, from meet
ings, and through the partisan press. The
utterances on these occasions are of the
most mischievous character, damaging to
the people of the South, and exasperating
the people of the rest of the country. They
are naturally looked upon 'as showing the
temper of the g reat mass of the Southern
people, and the inference quite as naturally
, follows that those who show such a spirit,
of glorification over the events of 1861 to
1865, will not be slow to repeat them if the
chance presents itself, and that they are
therefore not to be trusted. They boast of
the achievments of the rebellion, they apos
trophise the rebellious flag, they declare that
the "Lost Cause?' is to be resurrected, they
speak lightly of murdering the "Northern
Huns," they declare that their former com
rades in arms are ready to rise again when
the signal is given, and they deal generally
in a grand round of the same style of exas
perating oratory that "fired the Southern
heart" before the rebellion, and which at
last fired the Northern heart also. There is
great danger that both may be fired again—
and the worst enemy to the South could
hardly desire a worse fate to befall that un
happy country.
Some of the most sagacious of the South
ern newspapers it is true, have deprecated
such speeches and publications as injurious
to the canvass for the Presidency, and on
this ground have tried to muzzle the slang
whanging speech makers and editors. But
this is not a satisfactory ground to pnt the
case upon at all. What is said and done is
_ .
not condemned beeause it is Wrong and bad
in itself but because it is impolitic. Now,
although this may go down with party men,
it will not satisfy those whom the Southern
people ought to be studious to retain as their
friends. It will not satisfy those who de
sire to be generous to the South, because
they wish to see the people of the South
rescued from the ruin of the rebellion, but
who at the same time hold their country
above party, and will not associate them-
— selves with any movement that keeps alive
• the spirit of the rebellion. It will not satis
fy those thinking and independent voters
who are not blindly bound to follow the
dictates of party, and who in these days
bold the balance of power among all parties.

Interesting Experiment—Testing a Cast
Steel Boiler
"A few weeks ago we published tabular
statements of the strength of specimens of
boiler plate made by Pittsburgh manufac
turers, as determined by Mr. Benjamin
Crawford, Special Agent of the Treasury
Department, in the Washington NaVy
Yard. One of these, a steel plate of the
grade denominated "homogeneous metal,"
made - by Park, Brother .3: Co., showed a
tensile strength of over ninety-one thou
sand pounds—nearly one-half more than
any iron plates in competition with it, and
its flanging properties were also pronounced
superior. The best competing specimen
was called iron, but was really a low grade
of steel."
Pirrsuuncm, August 22, 1868
MESSRS. EDITORS GAZETTE, Gentlemen
We clip the above from your issue of this
date. We were invited in common with
others early this , season to send a specimen,
of our homegeneous steel plate to the
Treasury Department at Washington for
trial, and below hand you a copy of their
report, which shows that our plate stood
an average tensile strain of about 94,000
pounds per square inch, nearly 3,000 pounds
more than claimed by Messrs. Park, Bro.
& Co. for their's, a result that does not by
any means correspond with the apparently
authorized statement to which we invite at-
tention above. We were the original sues
cessful manufacturers of homegeneous steel
plates in this country, and we believe any
where. At the_time we commenced manu
facturing them, imported plates were pret
ty Much out of use, having proved so infe
rior and unreliable that railroad engineers
and others had lost confidence in them, and
had resumed the use of iron and copper
in the construction of the locomotive, so
that in attempting to introduce them we
had the prejudices created by the failures
of others to contend with, as well as the
usual difticultv.in introducing a new arti
cle. Our plates are now largely in use on the
leading railroads, and in many of the loco
motive works of the country, their entire
reliability having at last convinced, the
most skeptical of their great superiority
over any other material for the construc
tion of the locomotive.
We felt obliged to notice the above in
print, as it was calculated to do us injustice.
_ Respectfully yours,

How a Veteran will Vote. _
At the meeting of the First Ward Grant
Club, Allegheny city, on Friday night
last, a veteran gentleman, aged seventy
five years, came forward and said he want
ed to join the Grant and Colfax Club. He
had been a Democrat all his life; had
never voted any other ticket; but he could
not now, in the hour of the nation's ex
tremity, vote the tickets of the enemies of
his country. His mime is Cornelius—a
name well known in this county, and hon

THE - BODY RENEWED.
According to Physiologists, the human body Is
renewed once In 'seven years. Every dal, every
hour, every moment, the flesh, the cartilage, bone
and muscle of the frame are wasting away, and be
ing Imperceptibly replaced by new material.
Health depends upon the nature of that material,
and whether it shall be pure or diseased, full of
vitality and elasticity„or feeble and flaccid, depends
mainly upon Sloe action of the stomach. In warm
weather the waste' f the system is very rapid, and
If It is not no rapidly repaired by the great sustain
inz organ, the consequence is debility, emaciation
and decay. It Is. therefore, of paramount import
ante that the stomach be kept In a vigorous condi
tion at this trying Season. and the safest, surest
and best tor lc that can be employed for that purpose
is HOSTET f ER'S BITTERS. This incomparable
vegetable stomachic gives unwon.ed energy to the
digestive powers, promotes the conversion of the
food Into healthful blood, (ishtails, so to speak, the
raw Material of all the solid portions of the bttdy,)
and thereby puts the system In the , best possible
state of defence against epidemic or other diseases.
The strong require it to keep up their strength; the
weak, to re-Invigorate them. It consists of the pu
rest of all diffusive stimulants, charged with the
Juices and extracts of the most genial roots and
herbs, and is a - permanent restorative—not a mere
temporary excitant. It acts simultaneously upon
the stomach, the bowels and the liver, and Is the
best known remedy for d3spepsia, biliousness, cos
tiveness and general debility.
CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KEYSER,
of this city, on the various diseases of the ear, he
saya that nine out of ton cases could be cured in
their inciplencir if application were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes frem the opinion of Wilde, a well
known aural surgeon, who slips: "I fear not to re.
terate the assertion which I made on several for-
mer occasions, that If the disease of the ear were as
well studied or understood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended to as those of
the eye, it, would be found that they were last as
much within the pale'of scientidelreatment. a
Deafness is in coalition and ad - distressing an in
firmity, and when of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly tkrgt*.all medical practi
tioners to make themse yes fainfilar with the treat
ment of the diseases of the ear. *
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis
charges, Buzzings and Morbid Growths peculiar to
the organ of the hearing, some of which had lin
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
