Republican County Convention.
TUc Republican voters or Northumberland
County, nnd all others favornblo to the election
f U. S. Grant, the people's onndidtite for Presi
dent, and Henry Wilson for Vice President, arc
respectfully requested to assemble In their wards,
townships nnd boroughs, at such places nt which
delegate elections have heretofore been held, on
SATURDAY, tho 7th day of September next, be
tween the hours of one nnd eight o'cloek, p. in.,
for the purpose of electing: delegates to represent
them in tho Countv Convention to hy.V-ld
rri.-.-v, iu iuc uoinugii of Sunbury, on
TUESDAY, September 101 h, 1872, nt 10 o'clock,
. . ,.r nominating a ticket to
be presented to the Union voters of the county
nt the ensuing election. Each district polling
two hundred Republican rotes or less nt the Inst
general election for State officers, will be entitled
to two delegates ; each district polling over two
hundred votes nnd not exceeding three hundred,
three delegates; and each district polling over
three hundred votes shall be entitled to four
delegates.
EM'L WILVERT, Chairman.
J. K. Davis. Secretary.
The Republican County Conven
tion. The election of delegates will take
place litis (Saturday) afternoon, nnd the
convention, to place in nomination a county
ticket, will meet in the Court House in this
place on Tuesday next. The political sit
uation in this county is of a character that
7fl ensure a victory at the October elec
tion to the Republicans of Northumber
land county, and to the honest portion of
iho people who are oppose! to tho Ring, if
wisdom actuates the course of the conven
tion. To secure sueh action it is simply ne
cessary for the Republican voters iu all the
districts to go to tho polls this afternoon
and select the best men as delegates. And
thoso men when they como together will
act for the interest of the people, and not
for those of a ring of office seekers. An
other important matter is the selection of
the County Standing Committee. Let
there be active men placed in that position,
men who feel uffldetit interest to devote at
leastsoniPthing to tho good of tho people.
Active men are required for to accomplish
tho work, and tho delegates (,cnt tothc Con
vention should select those in their respec
tive districts who will nut ouly have Influ
ence, but who will exerciso it and see to
liaviug every Republican voter brought to
the polls. Let each Republican attend the
delegate election to-duy and do his duty
toward selecting tho best meu fur delegates,
and they give tin good men on the ticket
and with an activo executive committee
victory is sure to crown our efforts.
The County ticket put in nomination
by the Democrats on Monday laet, is pro
bably more dissatisfactory than any pre
sented by that party for twenty years past,
except that of last year. The Ring virtu
ally succeeded in securing a majority of
the caudidates. It was evident too that
tho nnjority of the delegates bad come
here with honest intentions of nominating
I0 n w ho Were ut connected with the Ring,
Had who liu.l at least aoruo qualifications
to All theolUces, but before they could com
prehend the situation, the leaders of the
Riug bad them sold out like "sheup in the
shambles." This strategical movement of
certain parties was not only bold but well
executed, and the uioveis are eutitled to a
medal as a token of reooguition. By this
movemeut the Irish voters have, no doubt,
discovered tho correctness of our former
rtatemunts, thai as souu as they laid any
claims towards a recognition they would
be cast aside by the saine individuals who
have received their united support in the
past, and that all the' proroieea made them
will never bo fa Hilled.
The Louisville Convention. The
straight-out Democratic Convention which
met at Louisville on Tuesday last, nomi
nated Charles O'Connor, of New York, for
President, and John Q. Adams, for Vice
President. The ticket Is a strong one and
will command respect from all parlies.
Mr. O'Connor ranks among the ablest law
yers In the country, and is a gentleman of
splendid education, and If elected (but he
won't be,) President of the United States,
so far as purity goes, would make one of
the ablest of the Chief Magistrate! the
country ever had.
John Quincy Adams, for Vice Presi
dent, is in fine accord with the nominee
for President. lie belongs to revolutionary
stock, and has been a Democrat for yenrs
not having joined the party in the hope of
securing any little honor it is supposed to
have at Its disposal.
The ouly significance of these nomina
tions is thai they will enable Democrats
who are honest to maiutaiu their consis
tency, whilo they insure the existence of
the old Democratic organization. Had
the straight Democracy failed to hold a
convention and select candidates, Greeley's
defeat would have insured the extinction
not only of tho organization, but of the
very name of Democtat. This calastrophy
will now be averted, and the old Democratic
party is insured another lease on life by
thn nomination of Chas. O'Connor for Presi
dent. Hundreds of men in this State will
vote this ticket with this object in view,
and because they are honest Democrats.
The Convention of the Democracy for
the nomination of candidates came off at
this place on Monday last. It was a warm
and bitter contest among the different fac
tions of the Democracy, A number of the
unsuccessful candidates did not hesitate to
declare, even beforo the convention met.
that a nomination by the party this fall, if
not as unpromising as last year, was but
little if any more encouraging, nnd felt a
relief in being freed from n contest in which
principles had been discarded and success
depended on trickery and political cunning.
The Liberal Republicans, (six in num
ber,) put in an appearance nt the Demo
cratic Convention on Monday last, but
their number being insiguillcant, they re
ceived the cold shoulder. It is a most sing
ular fact that the Liberals did not present
a single enndidute, tho first instance on re
cord of a political party w ithout candidates
for office.
KlTKAtEW.
Tho Germantown Telcqranh, one of the
nblest papers in the country, while holding
nlooffrom the fierce contest of the cam
paign, always expresses a decided opinion
upon questions which affect the integrity of
our nation or Common wealth. Speaking
of the rebel archives purchased by the na
tional government it s:iys : They reveal the
fact tlint in 1SU1 the present coalition, can
didate for Governor ot Pennsylvania, Chas.
R. Buckalew, thcu United States Senator
from Pennsylvania, held conference with
the rebel commissioners iu reference to the
conduct of affairs in the then pending Presi
dential cauviiSt in such a way as to embar
rass nnd weaken the Government, keep
troops at home in the north that should be
iu the front fighting the enemy, and gener
ally to produce a state of things as might
allow the election of a Democratic Presi
dent and a treaty of peace and separation
i-t. 41. w lAilo. iM ntmo !. vua
well known that disloyal secret orders had
Oeen iiAnia.i tiic uorili by Democratic
pollutions. They existed in Pennsylvania
and were quite troublesome. That Mr.
Buckalew was in complete accord with
them is shown by his conference with the
rebel commissioners, when he was the only
member of Congress who did so. Even
Voorliees and Vallatidigham refused tho
invitations. Mr. Ruckalew's name is found
in the official report of tho rebel commiss
ioners, and it proves that he conferred with
them in person, and that their views did
not diner materially.
As a United States Senator, Mr. Bucka
lcw was solemnly sworn to support, uphold
and maintain the Constitution and Govern
ment of tlie United States, and yet in uttet
delianco of the oath he was engaged iu
communication with enemies engaged in
open warfare for tho destruction of the Re
public ; with envoys whose reports coutain
official proof that they were at the very
lime hiring incendiaries to destroy Phila
delphia, New Yoik and other northern
cities, to spread coutagious diseases at the
north, to get up revolts among the rebel
prisoners, and tn arrest recrutiug for the
Union a noes. Mr. Buckalcw is now a can
didate for Governor of this Commonwealth.
Some folks call him tbo Liberal Republican
candidate, but the amount of Republican
ism about him, taking the foregoing as an
sample, would require a microscope to ren
der it visible.
The great Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia is now asked to brand with defeat and
shame one of the most gallant commauders
in tho late wur, General John F. Harlranft,
whose name is a synonym for heroism, and
to prefer in his stead a man who is now on
record in the rebel archieves as having been
in conference with the enemy iu the midst
of war. as to the best menus f forciug a
dishonorable pence. Mr. Jluckalcw's votes
iu the Senate against all the war measures
was bad euough, but ill these he went with
his party. Rut this rebel conference was
his own act, and his party knew nothing of
it, and would not have endorsed it under
any circumstances. We aro asked to sink
the memories of the late war. but is it
necessary that we should reward and clc
vale domestic traitors in this way V If we
agree to pardon tho rebels who fought for
what they believed to be right, does that
include the necessity of giving huh places
to such snakes-in-tho-grass us (his man
lluckaiew, who without tho courage ol be
ing an open rebel, was using tho cloak of
loyalty to serve the enutny f
These are questions for the independent
voters of Pennsylvania to consider. Tho
false and scandalous pretense of reform
that is set up against General Hartranft in
order to elect this secret alley of the rebels,
is too thin to deceive any one. lluckaiew
has had hit bauds deep in the public treas
ury, and with an account of many thou
sand dollars against him for which he has
rendered no adequate equivalent, he and
his friend M'Clure have the assurance to
para Jo themselves ns advocates of reform.
A man who would deliberately disregard
bis oath of office, as the rebel archives show
that Buckalew did, is not tit to be dog
catcher, let alone Governor of the State of
Pennsylvania, Yet the election of such
men is the natural result of the working of
the reactionary party that has assumed a
Liberal disguise iu order the better to ac
complish its pernicious purposes.
Every Indian has abandoned tbo reaer
valion at Camp McDowell, Arizona, aod
depredations are going on in all directions.
The troops, in anticipation of tli arrival
of General Howard witu treah peace nego
tiations, remain Idle in camp.
Another Screw Loose. E. L. Mcrri
man, Esq., the present District Attorney
of Luzcrns county, elected two years Ago
without opposition on the part of the Dem
ocrats, declares that ns rtDenWrat lie can
not support Greeley, and say i
" Having deliberately arrived at tho con
clusion that I can witu mora consistency
support Mr. Grant than Mr. Greeley, nnd
believing that the National Democratic
party has acknowledged its own decease by
clutching at the Cincinnati " straw," and
that while General Grant has administered
the government for fouryearsin opposition
to the Democratic party. Horace Greeley
has spent the better part of a ' busy" lilo
In creating public opinion ngainst it, I find
my duty plain.
Pensions to Rebel Noldlers.
Do the soldiers nf Pennsylvania desire
further evidence of the proposition of Gree
ley to place the rebel soldiers on the pension
roll and have them receive equnl pensions
with tho " Boys in Blue ?" They will find
it virtually made by Mr. Greeley in a
speech at Vicksburg, during his Southern
tour last year, when he declared that
"He hoped the time would como when
the soldiers who fought with Lcc and John
son would occupy as yroud a position in the
hearts of the American feojile as the. soldier
Vint fought under Grant anil Sheridan."
Is this not plain ? Is Greeley's conspir
acy not clear ns a noon day sunbeam ? Is
it any wonder that tho rebel pollutions

be not deceived.

New York, August. 30. Privnlo dis

steamer Metis, of th5 Newport lino, on her
trip from Providence to New Yc:k this
morninj.', strut.!; schooner about 4 o'clock,
nnd sutiit with nil on board. The stecmer
Stouingtcn took olT nil the passengers that
could be fo'.tnd. The Metis drifted nshore

above water.
A dispatch received in Providence n few
minutes ago say over one hundred and fifty
passengers were on board.of whom seventy
are saved.
Watch Hill, R. I., via Stoxington,
Ct., August 30. The propeller Metis,
Captain Burton, was wrecked about six
miles otr this shore this morning. A dread
ful storm prevailed the hitter pnrl of the
night, and about four o'clock the propeller
was struck by a schooner, knocking u hole
in her bottom. She immediately bean to
fill. Tho passengers was aroused and
warned to secure life preservers. In a
short time the lower part of the boat, en
gines, etc., went down about tVvo miles
from shore.
A large number of the passengers and
crew climbed on the upper deck, which
parted from the hull and floated. The
waves rolled high and the rain continued,
but the uniier works floated and struck the
shore jusl below the Ocean House, nt about
n quarter to eight this morning. The Metis
had on board one hundred nud four pass
engers nnd forty-five deck hands, waiters,
etc.
statement of the captain.
The following is the statement of Captain
Charles L. Burton, of the steamer Metis :
" We left New York at 5:13 p. m. ou tho
20th of August. Tho weather was over
cast and rainy, with fresh breeze from the
southeast. At 3:40 a. m., when between
. . , , t a......" A. If 1 11 b dull
W u tch Hill, about five miles oil' the Rhode
island shore, tho propeller was run into by
nn unknown schooner, striking us forty
feet abaft the stern, or neatly abreast of tho
pilot house.
Tim propeller was immediately stopped
nnd turned round, and we endeavored to
find the vessel, but failed. 1 sent the mate
and pilot below to ascertain if the propeller
was nmking any water. They reported to
mo that she was not, and we considered the
damago very slight. We then proceeded
on our way to Providence.
After running a few moments the engi
neer reported that the steamer was rapidly
tilling. I immediately headed her for New
port shore, and used every exertion in my
power to save the passengers and crew.
At this time the wind was blowiug a
strong gale from tho southeast, accompani
ed by heavy rain. It soon become evident
the steamer must go down. It was not
longer than half an hour from the time she
was headed for the shore until she sunk.
Life boats wcro lowered anil tilled at once
with persons anxious to be saved. One of
the boats was swamped, but was soon
righted by tho chief engineer, who was in
her. lie sculled her up to the wreck, nnd
she was ng:i:u boarded with success.
About fifty ei'8ons were loft on the upHT
deck, which drifted with the gale. The
storm still continued, and although several
vessels came withiu tight none recoguized
us.
We continued in this perilous condition
until nboul eight o'clock a. in., when we
drifted on the beach about half a mile from
Watch Hill light. The surf was very high,
aud our danger increased. By this time
quite a large uuniber of people from Watch
Hill hotel were on the beach proll'uriug aid,
but all whs of no use to us. The roar of
the surf prevented any communication, and
it was evidetit to us that the deck ou which
wo floated must soon go to pieces. In a
few moments the breaking up commenced,
and we were all thrown iuto the surf.
By the kindness of those on shore nearly
all were saved from tho pilot house aud up
per works. I am unable to say at present
how many of the crew and passengers were
lost wilb tho hulk.
The Veruiout Eleetion.
Montpelier, Sept., 4. Sufficient re
turns are received to indicate that the
Senate will bo unauimously Republican,
while the House will be ten to otio Repub
lican. Returns from over one huudred
towns show that the combined opposition
to the republicans will be in a smaller min
ority than iu 1870. Returns from over 100
towns give Couversea majority over Gard
ner larger by 1500 than Stewart had over
Harton in ltflO. : The tow ns to be heard
from will probably give a larger increase of
the Republican majority than those already
received, and the total majority of the State
will not be less than 25,000.
Burlington, Sept., 4. Returns from
1G0 towns give the following figures ; Con
verse. Republican, 33;84 1 ; Gardner, Dciu.,
13,449. Republican majority in lUtt towns,
20.31)2 ; a Republican gain of 3412 on the
vote of 1870. The remaining towns in
1870 gave a Republican majority of 4325.
The Republican majority this year will be
about 20,000.
Rutland, Sept, 4, Twenty-four towns
in RutUud county (one more to be Utrd
from), gives Convene Republican, 4408,
and Gardner, Democrat, 20-J3. Fifteen
towns In Windsor oounty gives Republican
gain on the majority of 1870 of over 700.
In Connecticut cider apples bring only
ten cents a bushel, and the cider makers
say the barrels will cost more than the cider
this year.
TnAT Mr. Greeley li an honest man we
are willing to believe, and that b would
not steal our purse or horse we also believe,
but these are hardly arguments to convince
ns that he ought to be elected Prosedcnt of
the United State. If he was elected by a
party composed of men as honest as himself
mere might be no tear, out we una nomi
nated by men, every one of whom
were men who had been driven from of
fice either on account of incapacity or gross
dereliction, and then he Is taken np as a
candidate by the Tammany Democracy
whose name is synonymous with every
thing that Is corrupt. It Is from these that
Mr. Greeley must choose his subordinates :
these nre the men who must be placed in
the fifty thousand offices at the President's
gift. Theso are facts and when men talk
of Mr. Greeley's fltuess for the Presidency
wo should bear In mind that his election
must result in placing In power the men
above mentioned. Tammany docs not res
pond to the nomination of Greeley because
they believe him honest or capable, but

CORRESPONDENCE.
Oar Philadelphia) Letter.
Philadeepuia, Sept, 4, 1872.
Friend Wilvert : .
To resume from last week, In regard to
General Hartranft, 1 am aware of the cry
of Alex. McClures organ in this city, and
I am happy to say that here where wo
know it best and the reasons prompting it,
its efforts goes for nnught How could it
be otherwise ? Its great pattern of good
ness is a perjured man vilely so as ever
man could be coming before the people
and promising with all the earnestness and
solemnity possible, and calling down the
Heavens to witness his declaration, post
ing it in flaming colors on the fences fec,
" Under no circumstances will I be arrayed
ngainst the President, but will aid nnd as
sist in his re-election with nil my power,
believing it to be the wish of you my con
stituents." In language similar to the
above he carried votes euough to leave so
slight a majority against him, as to be
readily overcome by a democratic Senatorial
Committee nlded by deep dyed nnd perjur
ed villinns like himself. Such is the man,
who with Horace Greeley nnd the constant
lauditory burden of the soring of that pre
tended friend of the administration and tho
re-election of President Grant, nnd who
finds so much fault with General Hartranft.
It is strange that although at first the effect
was somewhat damaging, it has decreased
so suddenly and become of litllo moment.
A daily reader of tho Press I heard express
himself as follows a few days ago, "read
ing it nnd it a'otic, I have made up my mind
that it is a necessary opposition, nnd caus
ed by fear of exposure of themselves if the
man is elected whom they so fear," nnd
Hint is really the gist of the matter. Look
at the history of the matter they harp on
so contiuually, the Evans affair. It is in
evidence and approved by tho signatures,
those loo of lending Democrats in,lhe Stale,
that G. O. Evans was urged for the posi
tion by J. W. Forney nlone, nnd by his
sworn testimony says he owed his position
to said Forneys' iutluence ; that said For

or as the Hon. J. W. " for services render
ed," in what 1 In getting nn opportunity
to rob tho pe.iple of the State. That Gcti.
Hartranft would not withdraw the suits
aud leave Ihcm oil' with their illgotten gains
is the great o lie nee he has committed. Wo
have the evidence of men above reproach
that had General Hartranft done 8 tho
same parties and their friends would have
paid him well, even offering him near sixty
thousand dollars to settle and ho would
not, what did they then do ? Threatened
to do exactly what they have now done, in
thn hopes of frightening him from being a
candidate which he had been announced as
n yeat or eighteen months before. Why
do they fear hiiu so. Simply because they
kuow if he is elected he will nppoint an At
torney General who will prosecute them for
their 8haro of the stealings. So ihey offer
Buckalew their support nnd their reward
is to be the appointment of some one who
will nut do so, iu fact pledged to drop the
rnntter.
They assert this nomination to be the
work of a " ring," let us look at it a mo

head of the soldiers of Ihu Stale. Its nomi
nees aro one half or more of the same class.
Yes I see 1 a ring ! so be it 1 that ring has
been heard from before. It closed round
Donaldson, around Vicksburg.Gettysburg,
and many other places, finally rolling aril
the way " through Georgia to tho Sea,"
finally enclosiug Leo at Appomatax within
its circle, as well ns many other such
strange proceedings. "The soldier is play

think its a mistake before six weeks. rmr

(u Uie minds of many I admit, but they
have overshot the mark, their lies and foi
gcries have received upon their own heads,
altering dates of letters, their substance
and nil will not save them, journals nud
journalists guilty of such acts would even
do worse. The same Forney has never been
notoriously honorable or honest. The par
