REPUBLICAN COUNTY
MASS MEETING.
i ni:.-iuhv,
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8th, 1868.
Homo orilic most eminent Spcnlo
rs ol'llie country will be present,
whose name will probably be sir
en next week.
Republicans I prepare for tbo rally.
Let us make it a Grand Union Demonstra
tion. Em'l VTilvert, Chairman Co. Com.
A New Dodge. Tbe Democrats of Ibis
place, conscious of their weakness, ore en
deavoring to bolster up tbe party by appeals
to tbe laboring men. With tbis in view, a
Mr. Sylvia made a harangue in tbe Court
House, on Wednesday evening, in which ho
professed to eteer clear of both parties, but
tbe cloven fopt and long ears were so palpa
ble that a man of the most ordinary intel
lect could see tbe copper-shod ass in tbe
lion's skiu. Mr. Sylvis told his bearers how
he would have reconstructed tbe States, and
how he would have mannged the finances
and made money plenty, but unfortunately
tbe country did not call on him. He al
luded in a rambling mauncr to all the topics
of the day, made extravagant assertions
without producing n single fact to sustain
him. The Freedmcn's Bureau, he said, ex
pended three hundred millions, or at least
one hundred millions, or at all events from
twelve to fifty millions, and then wound up
by saying that no one lmew how much was
expended. A pretty story, truly, to tell
Democrats that a Democratic administration
could not tell bow much money was paid
out by the Treasury Department. Cut the
records show that only about five millions
were expended in all ; the difference between
five millions and three hundred millions is
not much, after all. Mr. S. was decidedly
in favor of paper money, and never wanted
to see another gold dollar. Sbado of Jack
son and Benton I Where was this Solomon
when "mint drops" were in fashion ?
When ho closed, Gen. Knipo was called
up, and said he would read a few lines he
had hurriedly dotted down in pencil, but
even that attompt proved almost a failure.
The General managed to sny that he had
beea in tbe service and ought to bo reward
ed. He forgot, however, to mention that
he already was Post Master at llarrisburg.
Nor did he say anything in reference to the
hard things ho used to say about the Cop
perheads in 1804.
Ue.n. Wm. H. Miller addressed the
Democratic club, on Saturday evening last.
It was a small assemblage, even for the Dem
ocracy, who have been suffering under a
kind of political epilepsy in tbis place, du
ring tbe past ten vers, and have dwindled
down from a majority to their present mea
gre cumber. The vacant seats appeared
hke stern monitors, rebuking those who, in
the name of Jefferson and Jackson, were
engaged in palliating tbe acts of men who
sympathised with traitors, and denounced
those who conquered the rebellion. The
speaker felt the rebuke, and by way of con
solation, attributed the alim ti.i
HitvuUHUUQ IV
tbe fact that "Indians were about." Let
mem take lieed, tbe Indians will bo on the
warpath ur.til after the November election,
and if they do not succeed in scalping the
Cops, they will so frighten them that they
will hardly know where they belong, the
nest four years. The General said Grant was
a soldier, and that it was iu bad taste for
civilians to criticise military men, but there
were ten times better soldiers than he. Of
course Gen. McClelhin Wa3 named. He for
got to mention in his criticism what tho
gallaut Gen. Kearney said of McClellan, at
Malvern Hill, when he declared lie was
either a fool or coward in not marching on
to Richmond. No doubt he thought that
would be, also, in bad tusto.
The unanimous nomination of John B.
Packer, Esq., for Congress, at the conferee
meeting at Harrisburg on the 11th inst., is
gratifying evidence that the Republican
vote iu this district will be the largest ever
polled. Mr. Packer's nomination was made
by acclamation, and gives entire satisfac
tion in every portion of tbe district. His
Ctiieis for the position, in every respect, is
cot (luestioned, even by his most active
"l'p..neuts. He will be elected by a majori
'; .f 0,500 votes.
DECENT DECORUM.
Tho Northumberland County Democrat, of
last week, contains a scurrilous editorial ar
ticle, charging ns with having disturbed the
Democratic meeting in tho Court House
while Mr. Purdy was speaking, and beha
ving in a manner more like a buffoon or
drunken Copperhead than a gentleman. In
noticing this absurd and contemptible raise
hood, it is oot because that we have tbo
least idea that any respectable reader W
notorious sheet, who knew fo' '
moment believe such a stupid charge but
because If uncontradicted, others might be
J?i WPP". -as perhaps, some
embUnceoftru.bin the art. cle.
The freedom of the press is a great boon
to mankind, though too often abused by
stupid as well as designing men. The time
was when an editor or a conductor of a
public journal was presumed to be a gen
tleman and a man of intelligence. But now,
unfortunately, too many assume that posi
tion wlio have neither brains enough to en
able them to perform their duties properly,
or sufficient discretion to sco that the best
remedy for vacuity, is silence. If the above
remarks are not, to use tho language of the
learned editor, "in accordance with the most
liberal definition of decent decorum," it is
because the subject will not admit it. As
every issue of tho Democrat is a living wit
ness of the utter want of decorum of any
kind, the editor may be able to explain what
kind of decorum is decent and what is in
decent. And now for the facts. While in
that mcetiug we quietly occupied a seat
near tbe centre. Close behind us was Mr.
Isaac Furman, to whoai we privately ad
dressed some remarks. A short distance in
front was Mr. Slaymakcr. Wo will leave il
for theso gentlemen to say if they heard a
singlo wordj or observed a single actiom
that was not "iu accordance with decbrum,''
or even "decent decorum."
If Republicans cannot attend the meetings
of their opponents without being watched
by tbe scavengers and eaves-droppers of
Copperhead journals, to report privoto con
versations, in order to make up their weekly
pabulum of slander and vituperation, which,
to them, is the breath of their nostrils
and natural aliment, it is well that we should
know the fact and govern ourselves accord
ingly. The Germantoicn 1'elcyraph, which is not
a political paper, thus refers to the present
contest for the Presidency : "We never
knew a compuign which has opened with
more spirit, conducted with more earnest,
ncss, or which promised more brilliant result
than tho present. The enthusiasm seems to
have broken out all over the country spon
taneously to an extent unlike anything we
ever remember in any former Presidential
contest. And there is a reason for it. Tho
country, not even in 18C1, wa; in more abso
lute danger. The leaders of the Democratic
party, by their nominations and proclama
tions, formally coalesce with the leaders of
the late rebellion, and declare their inten
tion to overthrow the Constitution and
Government of the country in the -event of
their success. This they unblushingly and
defiantly publish to tbo world, and ask the
people of the United States, who arc now
just settling down in peace, to help them to
accomplish their infamous purposes. With
such truths staring the people in tbe face
will they do it ? Not while they love the
tranquility and good neighborhood which
is now being permanently re-established.
Not while they love the great country and
its old flag. No matter what party they
belong to they will never prove false to
these."
"Gold fou tiie Bondholder." The N.
Y. Tribune of the 14th inst., says, "tho Hon.
Edw. McPhcrson, Clerk of the House of
Representatives, publishes the vote of the
House (1802) on concurring with the Sen
ate's amendment to the Legal Tender bill
whereby the interest on the Five-Twenty
bonds was made payable in coin. On this
proposition (which Mr. Stevens vehemently
opposed) tbo Republicans stood Yeas 43;
Nays 55 a majority in the negative. All
the Democrats but tico (Daily of Pa., and
Noell of Mo.) voted to pay tho interest in
gold, and carried it. Furty-Jire Democrats
recorded their votes in favor of paying gold
only tiro the other way."
We believe they voted right ; though it
was then optional with Congress to propose
a different sort of lean. What they did pro
pose, however, and leuders accepted, we
must abide by.
What becomes now of the party clamor
against "gold for the bondholders, rags for
"the plow-holders ?"
The elections in Vermont and Maine show
that the Republicans are fully as strong as
they were in 1804, when the present Demo
cracy were not only whipped, but wiped out
of existence as a party, until galvanized into
temporary vitality by Johnsonism, and now
having extinguished Johnson, they go down
together in one common grave.
We understand some of the leaders of the
Seymour party are circulating false reports
that some of our moat prominent Repub
licans win vote that ticket. This is some
thing like the published report that George
Schnure, Esq., and Judgo Middleswavtb, of
Snyder CDuuty, were out for Seymour, to
the utter astonishment of those gentlenicn.
It is an established fact that over eight
hundred millions of the debts due by our
Government have been paid since 1805.
Our liabilities then were over thirty-two
hundred millions, and are now about one
fourth, or eight hundred millions less. Our
State debt has beeu reduced over four mil
lions of dollars, under our Republican ad
ministrations. It is also a fuct that the na
tional credit is better now than it was du
ring the last year of Mr. Buchanan's admin
stration, when the Government was unable
to borrow even a few millions without pay
ing exhorbilaot rates.
Has the Public Dkut Been Reduced !
The Seymour orators say no. The fig
ures aay yes. They show that from the 1st
of August, 16S5, to tbe 1st of August, 1808,
the debt has been reduced from 3,767,803,
638 (11 to $3,623,534,480 67, a reduction of
more than seventy millions per year. Re
collect, too, that while this reduction has
been going on tbe taxes have been vastly
reduced, tome of them being altogether
abolished.
The Nomination lor Coiibmm.
The conferees of the 14th District met
this morning in this city to declare the for
mil notation made by tb. poop e as to
the candidate for Congress. John B. Packir,
of Northumberland county, having been en
dorsed by three counties out of the five in
the district, had a clear majority of the con;
ferees sent here, while Geo. i Miller, the
present Congressman, had the conterecs
from his own county, Union, aud Col. John
J. Patterson those from Juniata. They re--fused
to enter into any contest and formal
ballot, but unanimously asked tbeir conferees
to tender their support at once to Mr.
Packer, and thus mako the nomination unan
imous. George F. Miller has represented this
district for nearly four years in tbo Nation
al Halls of Congress, to the entire satisfac
tion of those who elected him to that re
sponsible position, and we know that be
done his very utmost to carry out the views
of his party and friends. Always ready and
obliging to further the interests of his con
stituents, he retires with their good wishes.
While bis immediate friends in Union coun
ty presented his name for a third term, they
knew full well that some of the other coun
ties had equally good aud able Republicans
who would be presented as the candidate.
Mr. Miller retired from the contest, and en
dorsed the nomiuatiou of his competitor
most heartily.
Col. Jxo. J. Patterson was also present
ed as a candidate by his own immediate
friends in Juniuta county, who elected con
ferees by a direct vote ofthe people, with
instructions to support him us a candidate
for Congress ; but wo know that Mr. Pat
terson made no personal efforts outside of
his own county to procure the nomination.
His conferees were among tho first to sup
port Mr. Pucker; Mr. Patterson himself ex
pressed hi entire approval of the nomina
tion of Mr, Packer, and pledged himself to
do a little more thau any other man to
swell his majority.
Jons B. Packer is therefore tho unani
mous nominee of tho Republicans of the
14th Congressional district, and as such will
receive the uuitcd support of all the loyal
voters. His legislative experience will at
once enable him to rank, in point of ability,
industry and pcrscverauce, with the oldest
member of that body, and as a ready deba
ter will participate in its active duties.
Every county in the district, with perhaps
one exception, Juniata, will poll a respecta
ble majority in his favor, and we have no
doubt that his majority will be the largest
ever given to any. Congressional candidate
in the district. JIurrishusy Teleyruph.

Boston, Mass., Sept. 14 7 l. m. Maine
has tolled the death kucll of the Democratic
party. Dispatches from all points show
lurge Republican gains. Hundieds of life
long Democrats have voted the Republican
ticket, among whom is Ex-Governor Hub
burd, of Hallowed. Portland gives us a
majority of 1,000 against 031 last year.
Augusta was carried last spring by the
Democrats, who have had the marking up
of the poll lists, and have disfranchised
about three hundred Republicans. Never
theless, we have carried that city by a major
ity of 01.
Baiitior gives us 781 majority against 351
luet year. Bath gives Chambcilaiii 1,000 and
l'illsbury 4 'JO. Lcwiston gives us a major
ity of 714 ; a gaiu ol 213. In Ellsworth we
gain 55, and in Auburn 100. Our majority
iu llallovve'.i is 223. Everything indicates
a total majority of 20,000. The following
dispatch has been seut to General U. S.
Grant, Galena, 111.:
"Mtiiue stands by you iu peace as she
stood by you in war. She gives Chauiber

you 30,000 in November.
"James G. Blaine,
"Chairman State Committee."
Both parties h.ive worked hard, and a
heavy vote has been polled. There is great
rejoicing among the Republicans here, and
the newt-paper otlices are illuminated.

Portland, Sept 14. The Republican ma
jority in Maine will exceed anything we
ever dreamed of. Portland gives 1,021
Republican majority, being a gaiu of 300
over labt year. The Republicans in this city
have been wild with excitement ever since
tho polls closed. At the last municipal
election last spring there was no election of
mayor by the people. The Republican gain
over that vote is 051.
An enthusiastic mass meeting was held
this evening at the City Hall and the dis
patches were read as fast as received. The
nineteen towus Grst heard from gave Charu
beiliu 14, 124, Pillsbury 0,005, a Republican
gain of 2,504 over last year. All the returns
were read, uud received with boisterous ap
plause. It is impossible to get returns from back
towns to night, but the State is more likely
to give 20,000 Republican majority than
less. A disgraceful riot has just occurred
at Augusta, Drunken Democrats, to the
number of twenty-five, made an attack upon
a Republican meeting. The Republicans
were severely handled at first. The valiant
Democratic police kept at a safe distance.
Clubs, bricks, aud other weapous were freely
used. Another fight occurred iu one of the
wards this afternoon, in which revolvers
were drawn one of the most disgraceful
affairs we ever had in Maine.
AcorsTA, Mo., Sept. 14. The election of
to-day closed the most exciting ami ino6t
euergetiu campaign ever witnessed iu Maine.
The vote is larger by some thousands than
ever before thrown. We have carried every
Congressional district, the closest by 2,500
majority.
We have carried every county, regaicing
tho three that were carried by the Democrats
last year. We have elected every Senator
and seven eighths of the House of Represen
tatives, and have rolled up a popular major
ity for Governor Chamberlin of 20,000 1 Our
majority lost year was 11,300, and our aver
age majority for the past twelvo years has
been 13,000. Ia our great triumph of 1800
we had 16,000, aud in 1804 we had 18,000.
Our victory of to-day is by far the most
brilliant that was ever won by the Rpublican
party in Maine, and it has been achieved
over the most persistent and maddened
efforts of the Democracy.

New York, Sept. 12. The steamship
Guiding Star, from Aspinwall, bring the
following intelligence :
On the 13th nit., a terrible carthquako
visited the cities along the coast of Peru and
Ecuador, whereby thirty-two thousand lives
were lost, aud property valued at $300,000,
000 was destroyed. A rumbling sound pre
ceded the earthquake, and the sea was ter
ribly agitated, and flooded the lflnd for n
great distance.
Arequipa, a city of thirty-fivo thousand
inhabitants, has passed away, scarcely a ves
tige of it being left. Only 400 lives were
lost there. Arica, a towu of twelve thous
and inhabitants was also destroyed, not a
house being left standing. Ia this town
500 persons perished. A tidal wave, forty
feet high, rolled with terrific force on shore,
carrying ships further on land than was ever
before known. The United States storesbip
Fredonia capsized, aud all on board were
lost. She had on board naval stores valued
at $1,800,000. She was rolled over and
Bmashed to atoniB.
Tho United States steamer Walcree was
carried half a mile inland, left high and dry,
but only one sailor was drowned. Owing
to her great distance from tho sea, she can
never be got afloat again.
The Peruvian corvette America was also
carried ashore, and thirty-three of her crew
were drowned. The American merchant
man Rosa Rivera, tho English ship Chan
cellor and the French barque Eduardo were
also lost.
Tho towns of Iquique, Moquega, Locam- I
bin, and Pisaqua were all utterly destroyed, i
Over 000 people perished at Iquique. The j
Americans lost heavily, and neaily all are
totally ruined. The towus of Ibarra, Ban j
Pablo, Atuntoqui, and Imutad, are in ruins. ;
Where tho town of Coaticach formerly stood j
is now a lake. The people of those towns :
were almost entirely destroyed. The towns I
of Pancho, Puellaro, and Cacbiquajo were '
also destroyed. The dead bodies are so nu
merous that the survivors have been forced !
to flee from the stench of the putrefying j
bodies.
Havana, Sept. 12. Advice have been
received announcing that Peru and Ecuador
have been visited with a most terrible earth
quake. The shocks occurred on the 18th
of August, and lasted only five minutes, but
in that time over 25,000 people perished,
aud 30,000 were made homeless. The cities
of Arequipa, Iquique, Chala and Chincha
were entirely destroyed. The loss of pro
perty between Tacon aud Arica is estimated
at $14,000,000. The United States steamer
Kearsargo is rendering assistance to the
sufferers.
OFFICIAL REPORT 6F TIIK EARTHQUAKE.
Washington, Sept. 14. Master O. White,
of the United States steamer Wateree, ar
rived here this morning, as bearer of dis
patches from Rear Admiral Turner, com
manding the South Pacific sqtiadrou, to the
Navy Department, giving tho details of the
earthquake, most of which have already
been published.
Mr. White left Arica on August 10. The
report encloses others, from Commander
GiUis, of the Wateree, and Captain Doty, of j
the Fredonia. I
Commander Gills reports that his vessel
was forced on shore at 7:20 r. m. But ono
of the crew is known to have perished,
though several me missiug, they having
been seut ashore to render usaistunce and
not having returned. The crew of the
Wateree remains on board during the day
time, but as there is continued recurrence of
shocks, the Peruvian corvette America lying
broadside almost directly in front of her, if
another heavy sea. should occur the Wat
eree would certainly be crushed. Precau
tions have been taken to move tho officers
and crew on shore at night- Admiral
Turner's report is dated Callao, on board
the Powhattau, 20th August. 11a would
sail next day for Arica, and keep on a strong
head of steam while there, so as to bo able
to put to sea at a moment's warning on the
approach of any eminent danger. Admiral
Turner had an interview with the President
of the republic on the 20th, and proffered
his services to tako down provisions, stores,
and nurses to the extent of the capacity of
his ship. There is not a vestigo left of the
Fredonia. Tho last seen of her, she whs
being carried entirely around tho island of
Alasaran, where she must have been dashed
to pieces on its shores. It would cost more
than the original worth of the Watcrcc to
extricate her from her present position and
the undertaking would probably be useless.
The vessel is very much strained but still
perfect.
Tho bodies of Acting Master Organ, and
five of the crew, have been washed on shore,
and Captain GilIU was making arrangements
for their burial. Tho following only of the
officers and crew of tho Fredonia remain
alive : Captain G. W. Doty, Paymaster W.
W. Williams, Passed Assistant Surgeon F.
L. Dubois, Master at Arms Charles Seville,
Quartermaster August Tanner. Cupt. Doty
of the Fredonia informed the Navy Depart
ment ou Angust 10th ho thought it best to
remain at Arica to look out for the remains
of tho crew of that vessel aud give them
decent burial.
It appears from tho official record that
the crew of the Fredonia consisted of thir
teen petty officers and fouitecn seamen, none
of whom were natives of tho L'nited States.
They were originally from China, Germany,
Denmark, British West India provinces,
Russia, Sweden and Prussia.

"Dear Sir : You ask me whether I wrote
the following sentence :
"Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in tho clos
ing sentence of a letter to tbe editor of tho
Boston Daily Adtcrtiser, utters an houtst
sentiment in the following :
" 'There will be no third candidate be

and plausible craft.' Cohocton Democrat.
"I did not. Tiie word (democratic) was

which it comes on purpose to deceive his
readers. I regard Craut as an upright, hon

Very man to be President in times which
require steadiness, clear sense, kindness and
tried patriotism. I not only believe that he
will be President, but that his civil admin
istration will be a remarkable a his mili
tary career.
'Since all the men who sought to destroy
this government are rallying around Sey
mour, it i fit that all the men who stood
op for tbe Union should gather about Grant.
It is an honor that will not happen twice in
a man' lifetime to have a chance to vote
for such a man as Grant. No young man
can well afford to throw away his chauce.
Even if done, it ought to be in favor of some
better man than he who, through all the
