In after ages the record of the tour, to gether with the speeches of President John son and his Cabinet, will afford matter for ' speculation and doubt in . regard to its .' reality. - It appears almost Incredible that a President of ' the United States, in this en- J lightened age, should so completely forget the exalted position he occupies as to bandy '.words with an excited populace,' who snub liim with insulting epithets.;. The future historian may look upon these things as fabulous, or at least an exaggeration of the real facts. Tet they are painfully true. That something is radically wrong cannot be denied when even such friend, as the New York Timet and the Pott lecture the President for his want of propriety and proper respect for , the high position he holds. That the President is frequently un der the influence of liquor and stimulants is not questioned. ' Among Southern men this 'habit is unfortunately too common. It is perhaps charitable to suppose that the loose, incoherent and improper remarks made by the President, in most of his specchs on his .tour, are the result of a disordered brain. That they are painful and humiliating to Lis friends cannot be denied, and that they are disgraceful to the country, is not a mat ter of dispute. '..'. But it will be said that Mr. Seward is not much better. ' This, in some respect?, is true. Mr.Seward has not been himself since his ter rible struggle for life with Payne, the assassin. Whether the injuries he then received weak ened his mental as well as physical powers, Or whether the use of exciting narcotics since that struggle have not clouded his brain,, is a question , that .suggests itself to every reflecting mind. His actions, of late, in reversing the. previous record of his lite, in all tbe great principles be has so ably advocated, shows this too plainly to admit of a doubt. When he asked the crowd whether they wanted Andrew Johnson for a king, and when he toasted the wife of Ad, miral Farragut, in a mixed company, as the handsomest womun. in tbe party, Mr. Sew. erd was evideutly no longer the Seward of former days. These are indications of a wandering and waning intellect, and are, perhaps, better calculated to excite pity than indignation. t2F"NoMiNAToN for Assembly. We are pleased to announce that A. R. Fibre, Esq.. of Sbamokin, has been nominated as the Union candidate for Assembly. A number of influential and prominent citizens, with, out distinction of party, or rather of both parties, have urged Mr. Flake to be a candi date. Mr. Fiske has consented, and at a special meeting of the Standing Committee on Wednesday last, was unanimously nonii Dated. We need hardly mention the. fact to anyone conversant .with the business men of this county,' that Mr, Fiske would make an able and' fuithful representative Mr.. Fiske is not'fltfy a skilful and intelli gent mechanic, but has, all bis' life, been identified with the working and producing classes. He knows the wants of the people, and is just such a man as the industiial classes should have to represent their inter ests. Wherever Mr. Fiske is known he is populsr, aud there will be do difficulty in electing him by a handsome majority. ' t& Henry Word Beecher, whose Cleve land letter has put his. former traducere in cstaciea, has eoUn second letter, denying that he is a Johnson man in any sense, and does not beeitateto denounce hi. speeches and declaration. in bi. l.te tonr to Chicago.

" ! ' FifTnis' Fi.a Story Nailed. As the Norlhuviberluntl Count t ' Democrat, as well as some unprincipled individuals, continue to circulate the story that S. II. Rothcrmel, the Republican1 Candidate for Sheriff, was one of the phrty who compelled Mr. Samuel Wagner, of ,LUtlo Mnhanoy, to raise the American flag , on his house during tbe re bellion, we publish the following statement, mado by tbe two sons of Mr. Samuel Wago ner, uow ,' deceased, showing that Mr. Rothcrmel not only , took no part in that proceeding, but as a' friend and neighbor of Mr. Wagner, advised those engaged id that affair not to have anything to do with it, and return, .to their, homes. . The origins', paper, with the genuine signature ' of the two sons of Mr. Wagner, can be seen at this office. In addition" to this, Mr. Rothcrmel author'izps us to say that he will give to any person who, can eliow tnat lie advisctl or encouraged anyone to take part in that af fair, a reward of two hundred dollars. ; ' I.MA.nAjjov, Sept. 11th, 1866. ' We, tbe undersigned, hcving heard it re ported and noticed in the paper, that S. II. Rotiiermel, candidate for bherirf, was con nected with the party who endeavored to force us to display the American Flag. Now we solemnly assert, that be, Rotbermel, to our knowledge, advised the party to remain away. Had they taken his advice we would not have been troubled in the matter. Fur thermore, knowing the above fucts, and thankful for ; his kindness and good advice in that matter, we intend to give him our support the coming election. ' ,:. ISA AO F. WAGNER, Seal. LEVJ F.

As Auditor General, Gen. 1 Hart ran ft has given great satisfaction. He will, of course, at once re sign, when Gov. Curtia will have the ap pointment of a successor for the unexpired term.

' If yoa fall us, we are more utterly deserted and betrayed than if the contest of arms had been decided 'against us ; for in that ease even 'Victorious slavery would have found profit in the speed pardon of those who had been among its bravest foes. I '- ' In-.:' I .-. 1 ' i -' Unexpected perfidy In 'tho highest place of the Governmnk':aecidentilIy filled by onfe who adds cruelty to ingratitude, and forgives tho guilty as be proscribes the in nocent, has ' stimulated the almost extin guished revenge of the beaten conspirators; and now the rebels, who offered to yield everything to save their own lives, are seek ing to consign us to bloody graves. Where wo expected a benefactor we find a persecutor. Having lost our champion, we return to you, who can make Presidents and punish traitors.1 -i ' .n--,.,,. m. Our last hope, under God, Is in tho Unity and firmness of the States that elected Abra ham Lincoln and defeated Jefferson Davis. Tbe beet statement of our case is the ap palling, yet unconscious confession of An drew Johnson, who, in savage hatred of his own record, proclaims his purpose to clothe four millions of traitors with the power to impoverish and degrade eight millions of loyal men. ' ' ': Our wrongs bear alike upon all races, and our tyrants, unchecked by you, will award the same fate; to white and black. . We can remain as we are only as inferiors and victims. : ' : ' We may fly from the ' homes ; but we should fear to trust our fate with those who, after denouncing and defeating treason, re fused to right these who bad bravely assist ed them in the good work. ' - Till we are' wholly rescued there is neither peace for you nor prosperity for us. We cannot better define at once our wrongs and our wonts tuan by declaring that, since Andrew Johnson affiliated with his early slanderers and our-constant enemies, his hand has beon laid heavily npon every earn est loyalist in the South. History, the just judgment of tle Present and the certain con firmation of the Future, invite and command us to declare That, after rejecting bis own remedies for restoring the Union, lie lias resorted to the weapons of traitors to bruise and beat down patriots. 1 ' That, after declaring that none but the loyal should govern the reconstructed South he has practiced upon the maxim that none but traitors shall rule. That, while in tbe North be has removed conscientious men from office and filled ma ny of tbe vacancies with the sympathizers of treason, in the South he bss removed the proved and trusted patriot and selected the equally proved and convicted traitor. That, after brave men who bad fought ior tne old nag have oeen nominated lor positions, their names have been recalled and avowed rebels substituted. - That every original Unionist in the South who stands fast to Andrew Johnson's cove nants from 1861 to 1805 has been ostracised. That he has corrupted the local courts by offering premiums for defiance of tbe laws of Congress, and by openly discouraging the observance of tbe oath against Treason. That, while refusing to punish one single conspicuous traitor, though thousands had earned the penalty of death, more than thousand of devoted Union citizens have been murdered in cold blood since the sur render of Lee, and in no case have their as sassins been brought to judgment. 1 hat he has pardoned some of the worst of the rebel criminals, North and South, in eluding some who have taken human life under circumstances of unparalleled atrocity. That, while denouncing and lettering the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, he, with a full knowledge of the falsehood, has charged that the black men are lazy and re bellious, and has concealed the fact that more whites than blacks have been protected and fed by that noble organization ; and that, while declaring that it was corruntlv managed and expensive to the Government, he has connived at the system of profligacy in the use of the public patronage and public iiuiii-y wuouy wituoui parallel, save when the traitors bankrupted the Treasury, and sought to disorganize and scatter the army and tho navy, only to make it more easy to capture and destroy the Government. That, while declaring against the injustice of leaving eleven States unrepresented, he bas refused to authorize the liberal plan of Congress, simply because it recognizes tbe loyal majority aud refuses to perpetuate tbe minor minority. ' That in every State south of Mason and Dixon's line, bis "policy" has wrought the most deplorable consequences, social, moral, aud political. 1 '. ' " . It has emboldened returned rebels to threaten civil war in Maryland, Missouri, West Virginia and Tennessee, unless the patriots who saved and seaied these States to the old flag surrender before their arrogant It bas corrupted high State officials, elected by Union men, and sworn to enforce the laws against returned rebels, and mH tbem the mere instruments of the authors of tue reueiuon. It has encburoged a new alienation be tween tbe sections, and by impeding emigra tion to the South, bas erected formidable barriers against tree and friendly intercourse with our countrymen in the North and the Weak .! ' v.- i-. i i .. i , . It has allowed the rebel soldiery to perse cute the teachers of (he colored schools, and to burn tbe churches in which tbe freedmen hare worshiped tb living God. i That a system so barbarous should have culiuinuted in tbe frightful riot at Memphis, and the still, more appalling massacre at New Orleans, was as natural as that a bloody war should flow fmm the teachings of John C.
