Appealing to Prejudice.
The whole Democratic press ieeAs with the
most pnblushing falsehoods and the greatest
misrepresentations, in their efforts to make it
appear that the Union party is desirious of
making the negro the equal of tKe white man.
This ii the same tune they bare obeen singing
for the past Tour years, with only' a slight vari
ation. Daring tbs war, they sail “a war for
the negro now when the war .'is over, they
cry ont , “ negro equality.” Tfieji moaa- tn
-frighten away from the camps of the. Unionist
any nervous or timid men wi fc never think,
hat always act from the the moment.
They tell the people stories of .ghost and hob
goblins, for the same reason tbit meddlesome
lold dames tell them to their littli/ grand-children
that they wish to reduce to obedience. They
knovt that what they say npor this point is
untrue. He that says that it' is the object,
purpose or design of the Uniofi party of this
State to give the negro the right to vote, is
either an ignoramus or a falsifier. It is not
an issue in this'State, nor can ifbe for the next
four years to come. _ ]
A provision in our State Constitution makes
it impossible to amend it oftener than once in
Jive years. We amended it lasH ]year,sMd can
not; therefore, do anything in for
the next four years if we wisbSi to do so'.—
Who among the Union ta&f advocate this
amendment of onr Constitute t giving tbe'ne-
gro the right of suffrage ? Doe .. not the Union
party as a unit sustain Preeitf int Johnson ? Is
there any difference in the pol.cy -of Mr. John
son from that held and assented by Mr. Lin
coln ? If so, let us have this difference clearly
pointed out. ‘
President Lincoln’s policy ip. regard to the
reconstruction of Louisiana, and
Tennessee is identical in every' paticular with
,-that pursued by Mr. Johnson ; h Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama and the othe States which
.have been in rebellion. The Democrats de
nounced Mn Lincoln and cal ltd Mr. Johnson
very hard names, a few months since, yet, now
when Mr. Johnson is following?out the same
Elans and in the same manner, end is sustained
y the same men who upheld'Jitr. Lincoln, the
j Democrats set up a claim that 1 . they own the
i' President—that they are unionist and we are
' j disndionisis !' Shades of the - Mighty 1 buttbis

General Elect inn—Tuesday, Oc-
tober 10.
REPUBLICANS, have you attended to the
very important work of ASSESSING: the sol-
diers, and all others not hitherto assessed, in
yoor neighborhood ? If aot, do so at'onoe.
Let every man cut ont the ticket at the head
of this column for reference on 1 election day.
It is made" up of the trne-blne sort of men—
most of wjbom have served their country in the
field, and all, of them hare stood byi the Gov
ernment steadfastly in its great trial..
THE PLATFORMS,
Let no man frit to read the Platforms of the
contending parties in this Commonwealth, as
published on the first page of this paper.
Oar business id with that one labeled “dem
ocratic." Bead it carefully, and tell ns if it
does not remind yon of that axiom of doctrine
practiced upon by that party for ten years past
—“ A lie well stuck tots as good as the truth.”
It will be seen that the preamble .reiterates
the old indictment against the Republican par
ty for betraying the country, violating the or
ganic jQw.oofroptly squandering The public
money, denying justice to the. people, and
bringing untold calamities upon the country.
In reply to this it is enough >to say- that the
Republican party has twice pleaded not guilty
to every connt in the bill, and twice hash
been triumphantly acquitted by on immense
jury, composed of the entire voting population
of the loyal States. Certainly neither individ
ual nor party should, be thre e times arraigned
for the same alleged crime under the Constitu
tion. .r
The first resolution displays a. vast amount
of the capital stock of that party — Cskek.
When we reflect that Secession was accom
plished during the administration ,of James
Buchanan, and following that functionary’s
Message declaring that he had no constitution
al right to prevent secession, we submit that it
is rather extra lying to say that the “ Democ
racy” have been “ opposing the eeceession of
the South.”
When—at what time daring the' war—did
that party oppose Secession with all its -influ
ence ?
But the mendacity of the second’ resolution
eclipses even the practiced lying of that party.
It declares that if “ the counsels of the * Dem
ocratic’ party bad prevailed, the Union would
have been eaved witbont the slaughter, debt,
and disgrace of"wcivil war;” ' To this unblush
ing assumption we oppose the fact that the
Southern Confederacy was in full blast a full
month before the reins of power pa'seed out of
the hands of that party ; Davis had' bis Cabin
et aronnd him, open war was in progress, and
in the face of these startling facts both James
Buchanan, and Jeremiah Black, bis Attorney
General (the reputed author of these very res
olutions) officially declared that there was no
constitutional remedy for secession, and by in
ference, that the rebellion mdst go. on.
So mnch for that. (Further on the resolution
. declares that “ the democratic party sustained
the Government in good faith,” &o. To this
we oppose the historical facts, that that party
under the lead of Hughes’, Woodward 4 Co.,
in Pennsylvania, Seymour, Wood,- & Co,, in
New York, Yallandigbam in Ohio, and the va
rious secret orders of which that party is now
concocted, did; during the entire period of the
war, in every way endeavor (o. embarass the
Government.. Did they not.strive to impair
public credit by depreciating the currency and
denouncing the loanT~Dld''they not endeavor
to .weaken the military arm by encouraging de
sertion, denouncing the draft as tyranny, and
the warae a failure ?_ is that the way men take
to sustain a cause in good faith? It is each
good faith as traitors ore capable of. It is the
only soft of faith the leaders of that party are
capable of. Per -they areaenotoriously untrue
to depooratao principles as Jeff. Davis has
proved to be.
But the'sixth resolution is jnost marvelously
jurats.. It vamps'} at negrosnf&age, and like !
TTO A VOU N T Y
THE
the chief objects of the abhorrence of the lea-1 where that party expects to elect I What a ra
dars of that party, is a bugbear of the first markable love for the soldier 1
and muddiest water. When it'is known that And 8 0, pot expecting' to carry the State,
the question of negro suffrage .is not at issue theyt put two soldiers on the ticket. How ma
in Penngylyqnia now, nor likeljl to be for the ny miju will-be bamboosleed by such shallow
next half century, it may appear strange to a pretence?"
.few..people that ye demooraoie should have set
upon the negro again, horse, foot, and artillery.
No—it is not strange; ’ for that party ‘i» given
"to opposition"TtTlhe unaOhstantiaf shadows of
.things rather than to tfiff tilings themselves.
Negro suffrage is. not at issue. If yon will
examine tbo .Republican platform you will find
"not tlia "remotest allusion to anything" of the
sort. But the leaders.pf the copperhead party,
are at their old. game of false issues. They are
better at tbat game .than, at any other. They
always risort to it when desperate.
The seventh resolution ia an endorsement of
President, Johnson's polio; of reconstruction,
qualified by so men; • ife,’ ‘ends’ and ‘bats'
as to reduce the effort to the -level of burlesque.
We bad,'s*appased that' eo as tote-a lawyer as
Hon. Jeremiah Black would have seen that the
whole “work of reoonstraction devolves upon
Congress, the. President having an advisory
privilege and an executive function* only. The
so-called reconstruction poHoy of tbe President
is known to be no more than temporary and
provisional, adopted for the purpose of reduc
ing, the military and to permit
the insurgents to confer among themselves da
ring the recess of Congress. The resolution
under consideration seeme to build upon the’
expectation that the late eecsded Statee are to
have a representation in the next Congress.
That expectation is fated no t to be realized.
We hazard nothing in saying that men late
ly defeated in an attempt to subvert all law,
will not be permitted in law ma
king just at present.
Bat we ask oar readers to mark the delicate
allusion to the “ murder” of Mrs. Sarstt & Co.
by a Military Commission ! In, view of the
fact that the trial of the assassins by a Military
Commission was ordered by tbe President, the
quasi endorsement of tbe President a few lines
above mast appear to the public in tbe light of
one of the most ridiculous instances of forget
fulness nn record.
We incline to think that some of our cotem
poraries have done well in naming this slippe
ry party the “ Suratt Democracy.”
The tenth resolution sets out. with thanks to
the gallant -soldiers of the republic, and ends
with the'Jie that the Republican party say that
the soldiers “ fought and bled, and died, main
ly for tbe freedom of tbe negro.” We chal
lenge them tp produce a single utterance of
tbe'Republican party of that character. We
here declare that'the only allegations of the
kind exist in the speeches, editorials, and plat
forms of this mendacious “ Democratic” party
itself. Who does not know that'that party
has, from the beginning denounced tbe war as
“ A..d-Ti nioget aHal******
The eleventh resolution ought to have orig
inated. in the Pickwick Club. It eulogises tbe
“ noble manner in which tbe Democratic press
of this Commonwealth have contended in the
defence of tbe liberties of tbe nation.” Tbe
conductors of the * Democratic’ press hi this
State vied with eaqh other in the work of un
dermining public Credit-, counseling resistance
to the' draft, disengaging enlistments, and in
various ways-giving aid and comfort to tbe en
emy. Nearly every one of these editors, in
cluding their candidate for Auditor General,
is morally as great a traitor as Jeff. Davis.
The twelfth and Isat reeolation reaffirms the
Monroe doctrine; this, in view of the applica
tion by the chiefs of that party to Lord Lyons
in 1862, with the object to bring in France and
Britain to put down the Administration, is
as cool impudence as the world ever saw.
We have reviewed the leading points of this
pretentions platform hastily. Bead and com
pare it with the platform npon which Gen.
Hartranft and Colonel Campbell stand.
The Republicans of New York held their
State Convention on the 20th. They nomina
ted,.Gen. Barlow for Secretary of State, Gem
Martindale for Attorney Genera], and Gen.
Barnnm for State Prison Inspector. Ye De
mooracie having ornamented their ticket with
three Republicans, we don't see how onr folks
can be whipped. Think of Gen. Slocum, Ln
cins Robinson, and Martin Grover heading a
modern democratic ticket! Bat to show how
completely New York Democracy has caved,
we quote the following from their platform:
Resolved, That we congratulate the people
of this State and of the nation upon the termi
nation of civil war and upon the return of
peace, and especially that this blessing is at
tained with a ■ preserved .Union, an undivided
country, and the of constitutional
liberty thronghont-tfacrland. ■ . „
To which should have been added: “ Arid
this in spite of the persistent and desperate ef
“ forts of the Southern rebels, aided by the
“ Northern Democracy, to prevent the desired
“ consummation." But it is too much to sek
the whole truth of them this fall.
This "Democratic” party is getting sweet
on the soldiers,—that is, they talk that sort of
thing. Of coarse, then, they propose to show
their exceeding love for the soldiers by giving
them place on their loeal tickets. Unfortun
ately for them they have done nothing of that
sort in a single county inhere a nomination If
that party is equivalent to an election I Not a
soldier is on that party ticket in either Adams,
Bedford, BERKS, Cambria, Carbon, Center,
Clarion, Clearfield, Comberland, Colombia,
Fayette, Franklin Lozerne, Lycoming
Jefferson,.Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton,
Northumberland, Schuylkill, Westmoreland,
or York counties.
Quite an oversight, truly 1 Not a single sol
dier on the copperhead ticket in. any county
A (jr l f l' ATO it .
We-say-to oor-Rapublio«n -friends in all can
dor, that be whp leßnaupon the majority of last
full, and sits down andnyaite, will come to grief
j That Tioga will given large majority/or the
entire ticket at the bead of this paper is not to
be doubted ; but the question is—bow large?
W-e most all go to woikjiud bring out the yote._
We have the-strsngtb, but it must he brought
out. . And if any election district Jada Jo (jet
out its vote the returns.will show who was. lazy
and who active. Close op the ranks and storm
the enemy's works ! Forward 1 There are but

Senatosiae. —“ Yc Democraoie" of this Sen
atorial District have nominated Mr. S. Bich
aßd PsAtß, of Clinton- Go,, for-Senator. Ur.
Peale is only known to our people as one of
the gentlemen who. came to Wellsbjero. after
Seymour’s election in 1862, and -had a very
bard “ Drunk j" b» also is j said to have toast
ed Jeff Davis. Mr. Peale is one of those “harm
less, pleasant men,” whose forte is anointed
looks and pomatum. He commenced with
medicine, abandoned that for the -law, did not
succeed, and tried theology. That proving top
mnob for hie bead he returned to law, and now
desires to try legislation. Not any, thank yon.
Some people are tba New
Turk “Democracy” shonld y have flung their
old leaders and distinctive principles to the
dogs, and taken Republicans, chiefly, for can
didates for State officers. ; It does not surprise
ns, though it is bard on tbe dipgs. Tbe troth
is, that parly is exhibiting signs of returning
reason in York State. It. bad no decent, men
in its organization, and bad eense enough‘to
borrow from tbe Republicans.
But we see tbe oat's tail in that meal-tub.
We see that tbe “Democratic” papers are
reporting Col. Davis as having lost a band :in
tbe late “ nigger abolition war,” as they call
it. This is a mistake; Col. Davis did not lose
a hand in the war, but he will lose it on tbe
iOtb day .of October.
“ I have banded tbe assessor a list of all the
men in my Company," said a staunch Captain
of the4sth to us tbe other day.- How many
more staunch captaina. have been as thought
ful?
Loyal Men Look Horo?
The following proceedings, had on tbe '6tb
day of January 1864, in the Senate of Penn
sylvania, we copy from page 6 of the Legisla
tive Record, 1864, as follows:
OEN. D. 8. QBAMT AND OTKEBS.
Mr. LOWRY offered , the following resolu
ftiaoloed by ihi &end&, that 'tbe thanks of
the loyal people of Pennsylvania are due and
are hereby tendered to Gen. U. 8- Grant and
the officers and soldiers serving under him, for
the series of gallant services and i glorious
victories resulting in tbe liberation of the. faith
ful Union people of East Tennessee from a
military despotism more galling than ever was
that of Great Britain.
On the question,
Will the Senate proceed to a second reading
of the resolution ?
The yeas and nays were, required by Mr.
DONOVAN and Mr. WALLACE, and were
as follows, vis:
Ykas—Messrs. Cbampneys, Connell, Dun
lap, Fleming, Graham, Hoge, Householder,
Johnson, Lowry, McCandlese, Nichols, Ridg
way. Turret), Wilson, Worthington and Penny,
Speaker— l 6.
Nats —Messrs. Bearsdale, Buober, Glymer,
Donovan, Glalz, Hopkins, Kinsley, Lamberton,
Latta, MoSherry, Montgomery, Reilly, Smith,
Stark, Stein and Wallace—l 6.
So the question was determined in the neg
ative.
Here stands the name of every democratic
Senator.reoorded against a vote of thanks to
the gallant General Grant who brought the
war to a successful close.
Among the NOES stands the name of the
leader of that same party, WILLIAM A.
WALLACE, the chairman of the copperhead
State Central Committee, who to-day, professes
such love for the soldiers.
The Democrats of New York hrve nominated
the following ticket: For Secretary of State,
Major-Gen. Slocum; Controller, Lucius Robin
son ; State Engineer, S. H. Sweet, Canal Com
missioner, C. W. Armstrong ; . Attorney-Gen

term). Judge Brown; (shortterm), M. Grover.
Resolutions were adopted) when the Convention
adjourned sine die. i
Mason & Hamlin’s Cabinet Organs.—Hav
ing taken some pains to satisfy uurselves res
peeling the merits of these new instruments,
we are able to speak very confidently in regard
to them, and to recommend them heartily to
our readers. We have not found any difference
in the opinions entertained of them by musi
cians ; all value them highly, and all agree
that their superiority to all other instruments
of the class, American or foreign, is indisputa
ble.—New York Examiner.
John C. Breckinridge is in Canada. It is
not known whether he seeks a pardon to go
back to Kentucky, or to stump Pennsylvania
daring the fall campaign. John has a rebel’s
love for the home of Davis, and is willing to
labor anywhere for its “honor."
TO BRIDGE BUILDERS.—
The Commissioners frill let the baildl&g of two new
bridges across the Tioga River on the sth day of Oct.
to the lowest' responsible bidder. The one near
Doughty's Mill to be 180 feet long, and the one near
Richmond township line to be 90 feet long, both
bridges to be like the one at Mansfield and West

► follow the use of stimulating “ Bitter”,and all pur
