GI
if) THE REPUNLIGAN "POW-WOW" AT
J" ssoingst • THE COURT HOUSE.
A small gathering of the "faithful few"
who still cling to the fortunes of this doom
ed, if not already obsolete party, took place
' lat the Court House on Thursday evening
of Court week. But for the curiosity and
1 generosity of our Democratic friends, who
turned tut in large numbers and filled the
benches on the occasion, the attendance
would have been most shockingly small.
The meagre number of Republicans pres
ent was very clearly evidenced by a vote
taken in the course of the evening, in which
some fifteen or twenty full-grown, bearded
adults participated !
On the organization of the meeting, and
the appointment of a Committee to draft
1 Resolutions, our good-natured friend, R.
DOWNEY, Esq., was called on for a
speech, and responded in his usual felici
tious style, rambling up and down and all
over the world of politics, giving us here a
precept and there an admonition or exhor
tation, making no point and reaching no
very striking conclusions, and leaving his
hearers to conjecture, when he took his
seat, "what the deuce he meant by all that?"
! Mr. Downey's harangues, like his news
paper articles, begin at the opening verse
of "the book of Generations" and reach 1
their climax at the omega of "Revolutions."
• His mind is of a peculiar type, a perfect
chaos of odds and ends, facts and tancies,
good things and bad. To arrange its Ills
ordered lumber, and make him think clear
ly and straight ahead, like sensible people,
would require a degree of labor and discip-1
line he is not likely to undergo. But that's
none of our business, and he's a very clever
fellow withal.
Mr. DowNEv was followed by GEORGE V.
LAWRENCE, ESq., of Washington county,
in a speech full of inconsistencies and con
tradictions. Starting off with the declara
tion that he addressed his fellow-citizens
not as a partizan, but as a patriot, (of the
first water, of course,) Mr. Lawrence ad
dressed himself to the task of convincing
his auditors that it was the duty of men of
1 all parties to sustain the Administration
in all its civil and military policy and
ap
pointments, right or wrong, of course, or
fortunate or unfortunate for the cause or
i the country. This, in his view, should be
the test and measure of every man's pa-
Itriotism. The peculations and rascalities,
and wholesale robbery of the national trea
sury by Republican officials were to be
taken as "matters of course," and "to be
expected," (and in this expectation we agreed
with him.) To be sure, the annual steal
: ings of shabby Republican functionaries
! might exceed the yearly expenditures of
the Government in times of peace and un
der former administrations, "belt what
does that signify" if the war is only suc
cessfully prosecuted? This is good enough
patriotism, but strikes us as being very
loose morality. "The Union must and shall
be preserved" at any expense of treasure
and blood, but it does not follow that the
plunder of the public treasury, the defalca
tions and thefts of every scoundrel in the
government service should be whitewashed,
or regarded as of small account, or as to
!be expected "in a time of war." These
!are strange ethics, even from GEORGE V.
LAWRENCE, who iS much more notorious
for successful intrigue than "anything else."

THE COUNTY TICKET.
We are gratified at the general and cor
dial endorsement of the nominations
made at. the late Primary Elections. The
Democracy throughout the county are
pleased with all the selections, and will
yield the ticket a hearty and earnest sup
port.
With no wish to appear invidious,
where all the candidates are so acceptable,
we must be allowed to say that the nomi-
nee for the Legislature, Dr. ALEXANDER'
PATTON, is winning the confidence and;
good opinion of the party as he extends
his acquaintance, and we shall be disap- ,
pointed if 'he does not command an ex-1
ceedingly flattering vote at the Fall elec
tion. His unquestioned and unquestion-i
able patriotism, and his indefatigable la
bors in behalf of his party, his thorough
and radical Democratic convictions, his
intelligence, ability and integrity, all in
dicate him a most suitable candidate for
a representaitve position. No man in the
country is more outspoken and decided
in opinion or purpose, or more incorrupti
bly honest. The people may safely en-i
trust their interests to his keeping, as he
will neither betray the right nor falter in {
duty. Our judgment is worth nothing,
if the Doctor does not make one of the
very hest representatives the county has
- ever had.
EASILY GIVEN.
The reason our Republican friends in
little Greene persist in styling themselves
"No Party" men is easily furnished and
ought to be satisfactory. They have been
so completely and repeatedly used up at
the polls, "blood, marrow and bones,"
that there are not enough of them left to
constitute a corporal's guard, much less a
party.
WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS THINK OF
The Washington Review has the follow-
trig paragraph concerning our County
Ticket:—
It is an excellent ticket. Gen. Lazear,
we think, will have, as he is entitled to, a
clear track in the new district ; and we
have strong hope, notwithstanding the
villainous apportionment bill of the last
Legislature, that be will represent us in
the next Congress. Dr. Patton, the candi
date for Assembly, is a man of much
above ordinary talents and very popular.
jpe`The "Contraband" will hereafter,
as heretofore, be published on Sunday,
when it contains anything smart. Two
copies for a fip, and five cents change.—
Call at the Post Office on your way to
church.
; The difference between an Aboli
tionist and a Rebel is, that the Rebel
wants to set up a new government and
the Abolitionist wants to upset an old one.
FRI
Union is ever restored,it must be upon the old
basis of the equality of the States and the
inviolability of their rights under the exist
ing Constitution. Even the radical Abo•
litionists will be convinced of this sooner
or later.
The meeting adjourned after a triangular
fight over the delegate to the State Con
vention between the friends of Col. Wells,
Ezra M. Sayers, Esq., and James Throck
morton, all of whom were anxious to rep
resent the "faithful" in that august assem
blage. A wordy war ended in a standing
vote, which resulted in. the choice of Col.
Wsu.s, as we are assured, &tit by sotne
strange oversight or "hocus-pocus" on the
part of the Chairman, Mr. Sayers was de
clared elected. Though nearly as indiffer
ent as to bow the squabble should termi
nate as the man was about the result of the
fight between "Bet" and the bear, we
could not but sympathise somewhat with
our satiable friend Wells, who always has
the people with him, but is generally out
man:mirrored and vietimized by the wily
politicians who get up the programme and
"call the figures."
Tsa SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION i ts now
in session at this place.
• • W. T. H. PAULEY, ESQ.
The Democratic press, East and West,
is responding in . decided and cordial
terms, to our suggestion of Mr. PACLEY
for a position on the next State ticket.—
The Chambersburg " Valley Spirit,"
among others, declares itself in his favor,
in the subjoined well-written and deserved
ly complimentary article :
W. T. H. PAITLEY.
The Democratic press of South Wes
tern Pennsylvanii, manifest much
unanimity and zeal in behalf of the
above named gentlelan, as one of
the candidates upon the Democratic
State ticket in October next. We
understand his nomination will be
strongly urged upon the 4th of July
Convention. We have no personal
acquaintance with Mr. PAULEY, but
from his reputation, and the represen
tations of those who know him best,
we have no doubt he would make a
most popular candidate, as well as
efficient public officer. For a great
number of years he was the editor of
that sterling Democratic journal, the
Waynesburg Messenger , and the con
stantly increasing Democratic ma
jorities in Greene county, through
all that long period, even when
our organization was broken and de
feated in nearly all other sections of
the State, testify the ability, zeal and
prudence with which Mr. PAULEY
wielded the editorial pen. No coun
ty in the State has been more uni
form in its support of Democratic
men and measures than Greene, the
"Berks of the West," as she is famil
iarly called. We believe she has
never had, nor before asked, a candi
date on the State ticket. Her De
mocracy now, however, appear deter
;
named to assert and earnestly push
her claims, in which she seems to
be warmly backed by all that section
lof the State. As we have two State
candidates to nominate in July next,
we think it would be both policy and
justice to give one of them to Greene
county, in the person of her favorite
( candidate, Mr. PAULEY.
AN EXPLANATION.
In styling "Old Cooke" father, we meant
"father of lies," not of white men.
"HARD ON NORTHERN DEMOCRATS."
Both the Rebels and Abolitionists are
bitter in their denunciation of Northern
Democrats. By the Abolitionists they are
styled"Secessionists"and'fraitors,"and by
the Rebels they are stigmatized as "apos
tates." The following extract from the
3femphis Appeal shows what the "fire
eaters" think of us :
"The whole North, irrespective of for
mer political parties, is arrayed in a solid
phalanx of armed hostility to us, and we
must whip Democrats, and so-called con
servatives, as well as Abolitionists and
Republicans, if we would be free. We
can see no practical difference between
them so far as the vital issue to us—the
war question—is concerned. The plat
form of the Northern Democracy boasts
as one of its tenets, the enunciation that
the "rebellion must be crushed," and in
so doing, places itself not only beyond a
claim to our sympathy, but as equally
hostile and malignant towards us as the
original advocates and supporters of Abra
ham Lincoln. Where will we find more
odious, violent and ungenerous enemies
,than Dix, Dickinson, McClernand and
Butler ?—all Northern Democrats of the
"first-water." Let us hear no further
mention made of this faction as the espe
cial friends of the South."
THE OLD DEMOCRACY.
"Country above party," says a cotem
porary, we hear on every hand. Yes,
certainly. But to accomplish any desired
object in governmental affairs men must
associate togetherand strive to accomplisn
that object. That makes parties. The
men who desire to preserve the constitu
tion and restore the government as it was,
and as the fathers of the Republic made
it, ought to act together for the accom
plishment of that object. and ought to
act together around the largest organiza
tion having that object in view. While
abolitionists are seeking to revolutionize
the government., no Union man can asso
ciate with them any more than lie can
with secessionists. If all men who
love their country above party would
act together in politics as they do in any
other matter, we should soon have a party
that would save the country. The old
Democratic party forms a powerful nu
cleus around which all patriotic men
should rally.
A PREDICTION.
At a late meeting of Democratic and
Conservative members of Congress, at
Washington, the Hon. W3l. A. RICHARD
SON, of 111., said
"I suppose I am regarded as a party
man. It is known to the gentlemen who
are present that within a few days past I
have signed an address which has for its
object the re-organization of a party. I
did so because I saw a disposition on the
part of the people for that very thing, and
because I saw it would meet the accept
ance of the American people."
After a reference to the Democratic par
ty Mr. RICHARDSON said
"I do not despair of the people of the
Northern States coming up to the full
I measure of this occasion. For the State
of Illinois I can especially say this. lam
satisfied that when we again assemble here in a
l future Congress, the extreme Abolition party
will not have enough members on this floor to
make a roll call. I agree in what has been
said about the country and its good. We
are to preserve the Constitution as it is,and
the Union as it was. It is not to be tam
pered with or impaired by mere political
party."
DR. B. M. BLAOHLEY.
It will be seen, by his card in another
column, that Dr. Blachley has returned
from the Army and resumed the practice
of medicine among his old friends and ac
quaintances. His thorough professional
education and large experience as a prac
titioner entitles him to the confidence of
the community, and will soot' secure him
an extensive cirole of patrons,
"THE ONLY DIFFIOULTY."
WLen Senator Crittendon of Kentucky
offered his compromise for the peaceable
settlement of our national difficulties, be
fore the beginning of the war, when com
promise was yet feasible and honorable,
the Union men and patriots of all parties!
were anxious that it should be adopted as ' 1
the means of preserving pe.ace and Union.
The Republican members of Congress were
the only difficulty in the way of its sucd
cess. They obstinately refused to concede
anything for the Union. Upon this sub-1
ject we have the strongest testimony in the ;
speech of Judge Douglas, delivered in the
United States Senate on the 3d of January
1861. He pointed out "the only difficulty."
In speaking of the Crittenden Compromise
he said:
"I believe this to be a fair basis of ami
cable adjustment. If you of the Republi
can side are not willing to accept this, nor
the proposition of the Senator from Ken
tucky, (Mr. Crittenden,)pray tell us what
you are willing to do? I address the in
quiry to the Republicans alone, for the rea
-1 son that in the Committee of Thirteen, a
few days ago, every member from the
South, INCLUDING those from the Cot
ton States, (Messrs. Tombs and Davis,)
; expressed their readiness to accept the pro
position of my venerable friend from Ken
tucky (Mr. Crittendten) as a final settle
ment of the controversy, if tendered and
sustained by the Republican members.—
Hence the sole responsibility of our disa
greement, and the ONLY DIFFICULTY
in the way of an amicable adjustment, is
with the Republican Party."
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW FOR
APRIL, 1862.
Messrs. L. Scott & Co.'s re-print of this
valuable quarterly, has been received.—
The contents are : desse's Memoirs of
Richard the Third ; Centralization, Gues
sard's Edition of the Carlovingian Roman
ces ; Recent Researches in Buddhism
Modern Domestic Service ; liommsen's
Roman History ; Cotton Culture in India ;
Sir A. Alison's Lives of Lord Castlereagh,
and Sir C. Stewart ; Public Monuments ;
David Gray : Clerical subscription. On
the whole, this is an excellent number,
and well maintains the high place of "The
Edinburgh" among the leading Reviews of
Europe
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
In the debate on the Tax Bill, in the
Senate, on Friday last, senator Fessen
den, (Rep.,) of Maine, stated at the extra
session last summer and this summer
had appropriated .:*-3535,000,000 and over,
and last March they made the regular ap
propriations—not less than '..65,00,000..
and the debt was then $1,0,000,000. Ile
thought, taking the odds and ends, the
debt on the Ist of July, 1862, would be
about .72.0,000,000.
This does not tally with the assertions
of Mr. Dawes and others, who have evi
dently been trying to throw dust in the
eyes of the people in refellence to this
matter. Mr. Fessenden does not appear
to he "in the ring"—hence he tells the
naked truth.
STEALINGS.
"The government," says the report of
the Congressional Investigating Commit
tee, "has been the victim of more than one
conspiracy, and remarkable combinations
havbeen formed to rob the treasury.—
The profits from sales of arms to the g,ov
efnment have been enormous, realized, too,
in many instances, even by our own citi
zens, through a system of brokerage as
unprincipled and dishonest, as unfriendly
to the success and welfare of the nation,
as the plotting of actual treason."
The St. Claireville, Ohio, Gazette:l
admirably states the position of the Dem
ocratic party in the following brief and!
forceful language :
Democrats and their conservative co
workers stand not up lin: the defence of
slavery or any other State institution as
such ; but they demand, that under no pre
tense of saving the Union, shall the Uaion it- I
self le overthrown.
The same paper contains the following,
in which there is as much truth as can
well be put into a paragraph of the same
length:
MARK Tnis.--The man who cannot hold
his political abolitionism in abeyance, in a
time like the present, when he knows that
it can only add to the bitterness of the
strife, and when he knows that emancipa
tion doctrines cannot be pushed further,
without infringing on constitutional lim
its, is neither a Christian nor a patriot.—
[Washington Examiner. .
siir The Philadelphia Press says :
"War is the most expensive luxury of
modern times." To style war a luxury
is certainly a new idea, and but for the
light from the Van Wyck committee
would be inexplicable. Possibly, howev
er, Forney has been one of the peculating
jobbers who have ttrown rich by indulging
in the luxury of plundering the govern
eminent. To such it is no doubt a luxu
ry, but not so to the brave men whose
patriotism is not that of the hireling.-
6'omersct Democrat.
CONGRESS.-Mr. Richardson, of Illinois,
in a speech in Congress the other day
said: "Without disrepect. he would say,
your army would do better and the cause of the
country would be advanced, if you woald read
the riot act and disperse both Houses of Con
gress." There is more truth than poetry
in the remark.

LOOK AT IT, UNION MEN !
The Boston Liberator, the leading Aboli
tion newspaper in the country, edited by
WM. LLOYD GARRISON, the bosom friend ;
and crony of WENDELL PHILLIPS, being ;
asked recently by the New York ..fnirna/
(??" Comnirrce whether it was in favor of.
the restoration of the Union and the Con-!
stitution, made this answer:
"None whatever ! That was a guilty
Union cemented with the blood of an en
slaved race on our soil—'a covenant, with
death and an agreement with hell,' in the
making of which 'Washington and his
companions committed a grievous sin.'—
The natural and inevitable result of it is
a dismembered Republic and a tremendous
civil war, through the treachery of the,
very slave-holding class that originally
dictated the terms of the Union, and also
as a Divine retribution for trampling upon
the poor and needy ! Not for myriads of
worlds ought it to be, even it it could be,
restored, with all its iniquitous condi
tions and horrible pro-slavery eompro-
miles !,
The Republican papers generally, whose
editors are so quick to see treason in
Democratic journals that have always
been and are now for the Union as it was
and the Constitution as it is, have not a word
to say in condemnation of their openly
avowed Disunion Abolition allies ; and
from their continued silence the inference
is irresistible that they endorse the infa
mous ravings of such pestilent Abolition
ists. The truth is, everybody in the free
States is for the restoration of the old
Union except the Abolitionists and their
aiders and abettors of the STEVENS and
GREELEY stripe.—Lancaster Intelligencer.

WOOD'S MOWING MAORENE
LAND.
We notice that at the great quad
renniel trial of mowing machines,
under the direction of the Royal Ag
ricultural Society of England, the
-prize was awarded to Wood's Mower,
mansactured by Walter A. Wood,
at Hoosic Falls. This trial was pro
tracted and thorough, commencing
on the Rth and closing on the 13th of
July. Twenty different machines
competed for the grand prize.—
Among the number were the Buck
Eye and the Ball Ohio Patents of the
United States. This award by the
Royal ~kgricultural Society, after
such a practical test, is the highest
authority abroad, and establishes
Wood's as the standard mowing ma
t chine for Great Britain and the Con
tinent for the ensuing four years.—
A trial of these implements occurs
only once in four years, under the
direction of the Society, and is con
ducted with such scientific accuracy
of detail and thorough practical test,
as fully to try the strength and Ca
pacity of all machines that compete
!for the awards.—[Troy Daily Times,
