Josurt MoDtvzir, the Democratic nom
inee for the Pennsylvania Senate, in Adams
county, was .a member of the Baltimore
Convention of '6l, and is said to have voted
for the secession of Maryland.
W„.E do not know that the Commercial is
making any friends in its rrsistent attacks
on Hon. Taos. WILLIAMS. There are feti
gentlemen in this section of country who
have more warm, personal friends than ha
whose greatest fault has ever beer that he is
• too honestly constituted to be a successful
politician.' Mr. Wrizums' past record
should be a sufficient screen to protect him,
while in retiracy, from the unmerited abuse
- of those professing the same political prin
ciples he so ably and faithfully represents.
THE KII-KLUX DEMOCRACY Of Chicago
are even more impatient than their Pitts
burgh friends for the inauguration of the
new iebellion, and accordingly-attempted,
. on Thursday night, to set in motion by a
riotousAisturbance of an Irish Republican
meeting, murdering one man and seriously
r wounding some others. The Pittsburgh
Democracy have not gone so far yet, Fatis—
.l fying themselves, for the present, 'with
stoning our processions, leading their own
crowds and music through our meetings,
and other aggressions of an equally inde
cisive stamp. .Bat the same proscriptive
spirit is hibited here as at Chicago, and
the mode of its display is only a question of
opportunity and turbulent audacity.
THE SECOND; ADVENTISTS are now hold
ing a meeting,. in Jayneeville, Wis., and
have ,concluded that the end of all things
earthly will take place on the first of next
,October. The other daY the preacher was
very much annoyed by a Republican and
Democrat on the putskirts of the meeting,
discussing as _to who would ,be the next
President. The preacher apploached them
and said, "My dear friends,' you are ex
piting7ourselves unnecessarily and wasting
precioUstime in speculating-as ta_the future
President of the United_ States, for before
any earthly election takes place our blessed
Lord Zyill be President everywhere."
"I'll bet you-twenty-five dollars," said
the Democrat, "h 0 citti'Voirry lientuCkY."
THE REiiIBLICAII CONVENTION of Clar—

Jonusols for COngress from' the XXth dis

of the other three counties for a new con

SHALL THE "LOST CAUSE' , TM
The South Carolina Democracy inform-the
President that "the doings of the Radicals
and negroes will not be submitted to much
longer, and that unless they are restrained
there will soon be an outbreak." Those
Democrats were grey-backed rebels from
'6l to '65, and again, from '66 to the present
date, they are as much rebels still. For the
space of a twelve month, under the salutary
effects of SHERMAN'S march to the sea, and
of the crushing of their armies by GRANT,
they were humbled, submissive, and anxious
to be restored to the status of good citizen
, ship. But soon after February, 1866, under
the fresh encouragements extended to them
by the •' policy" of that bad man, ANDREW
JOHNSON, seconded by the reviving Cop.
perheadism of the Northern Democracy, the
rebel spirit revived, and since that they have
gone on from bad to worse, until, through
out the section ruled by the old Confeder
acy, the laws of the Union are defied, the
authority of the legal State Governments,
established under,the National protection, is
spurned, the lives of Union men are sys
tematically threatened . and taken by open
violence or secret assassination, and the
rebels, whom we thought to be conquered
in '65, await only the signal from their lead
ers to break out into another open and mer
ciless war against the Union and all who
uphold it. As, in '6l, they charged the pro
vocation Ifor their "outbreak" upon the
supporters of LINCOLN, so now, with as
little truth, they say that the "doings of the
Radicals - and negroes" are to be the justifi
cation for the second rebellion. -
No calm and intelligent observer of cur
rent indication's
,can shut his eyes to the
menacing fact that we are on the eve of
another intestine war. Three months hence
will bring its inauguration. Do not dismiss
this as the croak of an alarmist. Look at
the facts as they are and tell us, if you can,
how the imminent danger is to be
averted, except by a base and cowardly, sur
render, on the part of the loyal people, of
all they fought for and endeavored to secure
at such cost, or by such a clear, ringing and
decisive -declaration of th'e popular will as
stall be a warning to these misguided citi
zens, of penalties to come ten fold more
severe than a too merciful nation_has yet
imposed, and which shalriiveep the South
ern land clear of treason and of the last
traitor, even if it shall smoke with the-fires
of destruction from the -Ponmac to the Rio
Grande. We must give up all to these
rebels, or we must tighten our grasp upon
them with such a resolute determination
that they shall give up their plot as
hopeless, and accept finally the desti
ny which demands an entire , and
unconditional submissiOn to the authority
of the National Law. Are we cowards so
base as to be bullied now by the rebels
whom we once thoroughly whipped ? Are
we so mean-spirited and craven as to confess
that. our hero-dead perished in an unholy
war; that the rebel cause itself was sanc
tioned by patriotism and religion; that the
murdered LINCOLN paid a just penalty for
the crimes which he committed in our name;
that the Union was wrongfully preserved,
or that the ten State's rightfully claimed to j
retire from the alliance; that the "lbst
`cause" was the right cause, and that the
integrity of the Republic was and is to be a
delusion, a mere hollow deception, which
deserves a summary end? We must grant
that what we conquered in war, we had no
right whatever to attempt to secure perms! i I
nently in peace; we must concede that the
nature of this security was properly to be
stipulated, not by the law-making power of
the conqueror, but by its mere Executive,
or by the rebels themselves; we must agree
that the terms of this security need, the con
currence ofthe conquered rebels to give
them validity; we must be content, in
the words which an indignant Democrat
once rang in the nation's ear 'to "place our
hands on our mouths, and our mouths in
the dust," crouching before this alliance
of Southern rebels and Northern traitors,
or otherwise the loyal people of the whole
Union are once more decisively and
finally to . declare, in 9hl Hickory's words,
that"the Union must and shall be—pre
served;" that the rightful powers of the
people's representatives under the Consti
tution are absolute the premises; that
this Constitution shall be maintained as the
people have willed it; that the laws shall be
obeyed to.the last letter; that the accursed
spirit of rebelli 3n shall be wiped out to the
last breath, peacefully If possible, but
forcibly if need be; that the rights of
American citizenship shall secure a free
press, free speech, and free suffrage in every
precinct of the Republic, and that the peol
ple will have peace even if they exterminate
the disturbers.
This is no time for trifling; neither side
issues nor false issues can long serve to
amuse or delude the citizen who sincerely
loves his country and his whole country,
arid, who feels in his heart the courage and
determination of manhood. With a new
rebellion ready to leap upon us at the first
tap of- 13Leru's dram and thelirst "toot" of
FORREST'S horn, how many good citizens,
who only three short years since, offered
their blood and their material resources
as freely as the water, to hold up that dear
Old flag, are willing now to stand counting
what it cost us then to put these scpundrels
down, shrinking like craven dogs from the
yells of the same rebels as they* again fall
into line, and meanly calculating whether
it may not be better to abandon our own
lawful rights, and suffer the old flag to be
trampled in the duet by the rebels at last
victorious?
Who talks about "Radical mismanage
ment" except those Copperheads who,
three short years since, were scorned aspub
lie enemies even more vile than:their armed
friend under Luz? Who ,are these that
rant and declaim, perverting the facts and ly-
ing to crowds, not so Ignorant 88 they hope
for, about "Republican misgovernment,"
except the very men who so recentlYi were
known to beat heart the partizans of the
rebel effort to dtstroy the Gov,erincils
together? Wh oare_de of

UMPH i
To-day our 'German fellow citizen& will
commence in this City a brief season of
festivity called in their own language the
Stenger fest; interpreted,meaning a singing
festival. The educated and refined - mem
bers of society have been impatiently look
ing forward fer the occasion in which, out
of thoughtful courtesy, they have been in
vited to participate. I Hundreds of cultured
vocalists and instrumental interpreters from
abroad will assist our leading German
amateurs in rendering in powerful manner,
the glowing productions of the most gifted
masters, and in the performances thousands
will derive undefinable pleasure and
enjoyment. As devotees to the science of
harmony,
.the Germans,. more I than
any other distinctive element of society,
excel. Their passion for music is prover
bial,
and the' care taken to preserve its
beauty, grandeur and sublimity bespeaks
nobility of nature and true appreciation for
the art divine.- Divorced from their parent
country they have lost none of its charac
teristics, but clinging to customs around
which cluster early recollections, they,
meet 'together amidst strangers to their
native tongue, and pour forth the homage' ,
of their souls at the shrine of music. In
their rapturous enthusiMun they infuse Into'
the hearts of those with whom they miPigle,
a share of their own devotion for polite
literature, and how far the Imp of example
has succeeded in this direction is hest told
in the rapid progress music has made„ in
America. It is no matter of wonder that a
people Constituted with so keen a relish for
the fine arts should have produceda Handel,
a Mozart, Beethoven, a Weber, a Spokr,
and other musical masters, whOse inspired
works live to attest their heaven born genius.
There will be &grand lesson taught; in t he
Singerfest. Our people will witness the
recreation and solid pletteeri3 the ::Germans
derive 'from an affair Prompted - by -
o r -
neither a dollar nor a Tian - to their' country
in its extremity, and who for four years
prayed, not for reconstruction on any terms,
but for the triumph of secession and
the Success of an independent Confederacy?
•Where is the Democratic journal or pub
lic speaker, who now labors to , awaken
the lowest prejudices against the victorious
friends of the Union, who can present a
i-
clear and honorable record as the friend of
his country, l at all hazards and every cost,
during all the years of the rebellion?_ These
howling maligners of their countrymen, of
the grelat masses of that people whose Loy
alty, Courage, Fidelity, and Union for the;
sake of the Union were alone the Union's
salvation, are found, every traitor of them,
to be the same old Copperheads still, or else,
who are quite as much to be despised, men
who fainted by the way-side, :or were
drummed out of. the public confidence,' or
retired with dishonorable records', person
ally spotted, and seeking congenial compa
ny, by desertion to the common enemy;
Cowardice, corruption, imbecility and de
tected treachery go to make up the few re
cruits whom !the Democracy have gleaned
from the Uni n ranks, and for the rest, it is
the same old arty- which the loyal people .
have for years despised, and thrust to the
wall.
The citizen who can now stand and hesi
tate as to his duty, in the face of the rebel
designs newly proclaimed, remembering
what treaslon has once cost the Republic,
duly appreciating.the terrible consequences
to flow from a rebel-Democratic triumph,
and yet meanly deliberating upon the possi
ble truth of Copperhead falsehoods address
ed to his pocket—falsehoods already time
and again exposed as the basest of lies—such
citizens are not worthy of their citizenship,
and richly deserve to participate in the
public miseries and private distress which
their indecision or desertion now will bring
upon the Union. We know that there ate
but few such ; let us hope that there are
really none. ~
The citizen who remembers how, once
before, the rebels covered their deSigns un
der hollow and ifalse accusations against the
loyal North, Will not be imposed upon by
the same rebel tactics now. He will recall
the fable in Which the Wolf,- looking dow n
, the stream, reviled the lamb for polluting
its current, and so found an excuse, not
even plausible, for the destruction of his
victim. And he will remember that the
abused and reviled "Radicals and negroes"
of the South are , the instruments, under
GOD'S providence, by which a wise and
long-forbearing people have at'last planned
the only possible preservation of the fair
Southern territories in loyal submission to
the Republic. Ile will not forget that
when, after conquering the rebels in arms,
his Representatives were instructed, waiv
ing indemnity :or the past, to take en abso
lute security for the future,they first offered to
the South the merciful terms einbodied in the
XlVth Amendment to the: Constitution;
that, under the infamous instigations of the
President, foi which that faithless officer
has richly -deserved The severest penalties, -
the reanimated rebels rejected the
terms, although warned -that still liar- 1
der conditions would follow that re
jection; that then, and not, until
then, we found it necessary to bestow
the franchise upon the freedmen, place the
disorganiied South under military rule, and
make the acceptance of that suffrage and of
the same Amendment, the further conditions
of restoration; that by Him plan success has
been achieved and ' seven of the ten States
brought back. It is the "Radicals and
negroes" who have secured this result, and
for this they are daily outraged and now
threatened oven with extermination: This
is the head and front of their offending
against the 'rebels who now look to another
obtbreak for relief from a - hated nntstery.
These "Radicals and negroes" 'are your
agents and instruments, loyal citizens of the
North, for the establishment of Southern
loyalty and peace. Will you abandon them
to the tender mercies of the rebel wolves ?
Will you cast those States back into anarchy
and into the hands of the traitors? Wi:
you disown tlie authority and impeach the
wise ljudgment of your own Representa
tives ? Not in this year of Our Lord!

Creditable desire to promote-a spirit- of cul
ture and refinement. The lack of such oc
casions amongst our more rapid people is a
great error in the formation of society, and
one which cannot be remedied too early.
Tbe worship of the dollar, business, the
slavery of the counting room, the toil in the
workshop fill up'the lives of Americans. 16tv
ing hardly a moment for higher and nobler
thoughts and pursuits. That which la called
by them enjoyment is more often a degra
dation than an elevation of the soul. No
united effort is ever made - to direct the testes
of tl i .je masses into correct channels, war is
any evidence ever giVen that the people are
united hi an admiration for 'poetry, usic
or ny of the other line arts—a devotion to
wh ch forms such a conspicuous lesione in
enlightened nations. The Germans with
their enlarged ideas of rational enjoyment,
set many an example worthy adoptiin, but
none more so than the nationsl unit local
festivities of• music, such us will corti)nenee

If it belongs to the people of those States,
would you, if elected a Representative, ap

to '6l, or those adopted after secession, or
those which they would adopt now, ex
cluding the colored vote! Which of these
would now be valid?
Is the XIIIth amendment a valid' part of
the Federal constitution?_
The people will do well to press these
questions until the candidate for their suf
fiages shall reply to them plainly and un
equivocally. Our columns are also open
for his concise and distinct replies.
The New Rebel Manifesto.
Of Gen. Rosecrans, who hates Grant and
Secretary Stanton as . cordially as Hanipton
does, and of his new intrigue with a dozen
or two of the rebel leaders, at the Virginia
Springs, to concoct an electioneering docu
inept for use against the Union cause in
this canvass, a Washington writer for the
/V. IY. Tribune says:
It is asserted here on good authority that
Gen. liosecrans went on this mission at the
instance - of President Johnson and the
Democratic Executive Committee, the pur
pose being to decide on some scheme where-'
by the Southern States may, it possible, be
carried for the New York nominees. The
Democratic managers of the campaign hold
that Blair's revolutionary letter and Wade
Hampton's rebel speeches are not exactly
the documents with which to carry the
Northern States, and -they see that some
thing must be done to counteract the al.
ready disastrous effect of these productions.
One of the most prominent of Weir leaders
said, a few days ago, that they cannot hope
to carry a single State with these declara
tions before the people, and that unless
something is done to neutralize in a mea
sure their effects they may as well at once
give up the contest: for, between Grant and
peace, and Seymour and bloodshed, there is
but one choice for the country. Gen. Rose
crans has been deputed to do something to
help save the sinking Democracy in Novem
ber. It is now pretty certain that the lead
ers will send'out an address, temperate in
tone, breTthing sentiments of the deepest
loyalty, and full of all the glittering gener
alities about love for the negro and the best
interests of people of all sections of the
Union. The address will promise anything
and everything. "We must win at any cost,
is the sentiment of the Democratic leaders;
or, they say, if we loose we are lost forever.
THE National Union, a Cincinnati jour
nal, hithert o ) independent in politics, has
raised the standard of GRANT and COLFAX.
-It thus defines its position:
"We have endeavored, since we resurrec
ted the National Ution, to observe a strict
impartiality in regard to political matters,
but confess that we are unable longer to do
so. We look upon the present campaign as
only the war between the North and the
South renewed. Rebel Generals assure us
that the lost cause is triumphant in the as
cendancy of the Democracy. We oppose
the South during the war, and we cannot
affiliate with rebels now who declare they
are only laboring for the triumph of the
South over the North and undo all
that a four years' terrible war accomplish
ed. We can never affiliate with such men
as Brick Pomeroy and Wade Hampton,
representative types of Northern traitors
and Southern rebels. We do not fight with
Frank Blair in his proposed revolutionary
project. Henceforth we battle with Grant
and Colfax, but shall always speak our
mind freely concerning all political parties.
We are neither hide- bound nor party-bound,
but shall ever be found advocating those
men tind measures which we believe the best
tend to promote the interests of the entire
coon ry. '

TA AKING OF HENDRICKS, EDGERTON and
other Democratic "bloated bondholders" in
India a,-the Cincinnati Gacette says:
"T is reminds us of an incident in the
life o Mr. Pendleton, who assumes to lead
the party of greenbackers and anti-bank
men. This partyprofesses to be in favor of
taxing bonds, and especially in - favor of
_taxing National Banks. Indeed, they pro
fess to be in favor of wiping out the Na
tional Banks. Well, the Republican Legis-,
lature of Oblo passed a law taxing National
Banks. This tax was levied according to
law, and the Commercial National Bank of
this city was the first to refuse to pay, and
It went so far , as•to solicit other National
Banks to unite with it in opposing the tax.
Mr. Pendleton was one of. the Directors of
the CoMmerclal National Bank was a stock
holder, and as owner of United States
bonds, He was in favor of a law taxing
banks, but was ono of the first to oppose its
•execution. But the law passed by a Repub
'lean Legislature was enforced by Republi-
Can officials in" spite of Mr. Pendleton's
opposition."

ENT oF GRAND .11:11Y
The t rand Jury of the United Stateii for
the ‘Vestero Dihtrict of Pennsylvania res
pectfully present:
That in pursuance or the direction of the
honorable Court, In Its charge, to inquire
into the alleged infraction of the laws of
the United States regulating the steam ma
rine, ri.r the protection of passengers_
and for other purposes ' the Grand Jury :
called before them the Local Inspectors of
the Port of Pittsburgh, the °dicers of the
several Steamboats alleged to have been
guilty of is violatinn of said laws and of t !JO
regulations issued and cmtabliShed in obedi
ence and by authority of the same. The
otheerm of the said steamboats were in
formed that as the invetitlgation might re
sult In a present/tend involving charges of
a criminal nature against them, that under
the circumstances their testimony would
not be enforced. It is due to these parties
to say that they all voluntarily gave testi- !
mony, under oath. The grave responsibil
ity resting upon persons, who voluntarily
and for gain become carriers of the persons
and properties of the people, it is unneces
sary to discuss. The risk to life and prop
erty and to the mails of the United States
has been so fully stated by your Honor in
the charge to the Jury that it is waste of
time to further refer to the matter.
- The jury find that the follow, ing persons
appear to be the owners and officers of the
said steamboats: Of the Electar—owners:
John Cock, Herbson tt Co., Henry Bulger,
of Brownsville, James Reese and others, of
Pittsburgh; Pilots,Joseph F. Hendrickson
and Wm. Braithek"; Engineers,Carl Cross
and Wm. Ammon; Captain, Relt. Philli s.
Of the Franklin owners, Adam Jaco ,
Isaac Woodward, of Brownsville, a d
others; pilot, Craven Hoge; Engineer, Jno.
M. Baker; Captain, Zack. W. Carmack.
The Grand Jury further present, that the
acts of Congress and the regulations made
in pursuance thereof, referred to by the
Court, have been grossly violated by the
parties controlling the steamboats "Frank
lin" and "Elector,"' running as passenger
packets on the waters of the Monongahela
river, and that the same violations have
frequently occurred after notice, warning
and remonstrance from the Local Inspec
tors. It is evidently due to the vindication
of the laws, to the safety of life and prop
erty, that such proceedings should be
directed by the honorable Court as may be
necessary to nrevent, in the future, a repe
tition of such offenses.
If it is not deemed impertinent, the
Grand .I . nry would'recommend such legis
lation (if the same does not exist) as will
enable the court, upon the report of the
Supervising Inspector of the District that
racing is being done by any steamboat, to
issue the necessary writs or warrants di
recting. the Marshal to take possession of
such steamboats, and retain the same until
full security is given by respOnsible parties
that the practice will be discontinued. We
bslieve this summary process will prevent
all infractions of the laws.

very important, and any obstruction or interference

THE BODY RENEWED.
According to Physiologists, the human body is
renewed Once in seven years. Every (la), 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 whtther it shall be pure or diseased, full of
vitality andelasticity, or feebleand flaccid, depends
mainly upon the action of the stomach. In warm
weather the waste of the system is very rapid, and
if It is not as rapidly repaired by the great sustain
ing organ, the consequence is debility, emaciation
and decay. It le. therefore, of paramount Import
ance that the stomach be kept in a vigorous eondi
ticin at this trying season, and the safest, sorest
and best toe to t hat can be employed for that purpOse
s HOSTET I ER'S BITTERS. This incomparable
vegetable atonntehic gives unwonted energy to,the
digestive powers, promotes the conversion of the
food into healthful blood, (which Is, solo speak, the
raw material of all the solid portions of the body,)
and thereby puts the system in the best possible
state of deibneeigalnst epidemic or other diseases.
The strong require it to keep up their strength; the
weak, to re-inilionste 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
beat known remedy for dlspepsta, biliousness, cos
tiveness and general debility.
CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KEYSER,
-orthis city,- on the various diseases of the ear, he
says that' tine out, of ten cases could be cured in
their luelpiency if application were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, Abell
znown aural surgeon, who ssys: "1 fear not to re
iterate the.As;ertion Which I made on severallor
user ix:melons. that If the disease of the ear Weretut
well sttialed' or undtratood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended as those of
the eye, it would be -found that they were lest as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness is so common and so distressing an in.
flnaltlcand when of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi.
:Miters to make themse'ves familiar with thntreat•
meet of,the diseases of the ear. I
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying
charges, Bussings Ansi Morbid : erowthe peculiar to
the orgee of the , hearing, some-of which heaths
gored through 'score or two of rears, Can be cured
or saseihwated hy proper treatment.
