Canada is the point of attack. Twins resembling in some respects the Siamese twins, were recently born in Lancas ter Co., Pa. They were joined by the abdo men. The Erie Observer says the Grant ratifica tion meeting meeting in that city was an ut ter failure, the Court House not being half full. In every other place in the State where such meetings were held, tbe same spirit showed itself. Everywhere the masses show how tired they are of Radical misrule. A carnage with India rubber wheels, for the use of iuvalids.has been produced iu Lon don. A young woman in Richmond, Ya.,who re jected a lover three or four years ago, has just received notice from the young man's ad ministrator that all his property, amounting in value to about §20,000, was bequeathed to her. A tract of land containing 330 acres, with a mill on it, was sold recently in Rocking ham county, N. C., under execution,for §330. Another one one on the Piedmont Railroad sold for §1 per acre, and a tract which bro't §I3OO since the war, was sold at §250. The Washington papers record a speech made at the recent Sunday School celebra tion by GeD. Grant. The following is a ver batim report: "The boys and girls look well to day. That's a pretty banner." A Democratic exchange says : "Grant knows nothing of that ardeDt spirit which in spires enthusiasm in oihers." Well, if Grant docs not know all about ardent spirits, who in thunder does ? A lady sixty years old started from the East to visit a sick daughter in Minnesota,re cently, and having never rode OD the cars be fore, was crazed by the excitement and ar rived at LaCrosse a raving maniac. Gen. Schofield entered upon his duties as Secretary of War, on Monday, June Ist. A religious political newspaper is about to be started"at Pottstown. Of coarse it will advocate Thad Stevens' doctrine, that "per jury will not do a man any harm." Mr. Stanberry's nomination as Attorney General, has been rejected by the Senate.— He defended President Johnson in the im peachment trial. On Wednesday, the House refused to sus tain resolutions of respect to the memory of Ex President Buchanan, offered by Judge Woodward.

The other day he was turned scot free by Brownlow. An early spring—jumping out of bed at five o'clock in the morning. The Chicago Platform in Brief. The bal lot for the nigger and gold for the bond holder. narrisbnrg has been chosen for holding the State Fair, which comes off this year lrom September 29th to October 2nd- The Radical papers say the Ku Klux Klan attempted to murder John A Logan, while on his way to Chicago, by throwing a brick at at him when the train was in motion. To prove it, John took the brick to Chicago with him—in his hat. Whenever Northern mongrels or Southern bastards find a negro in the Southern States whom they cannot control, or who wants a share of tbe stealings and Offices, they mur der him out-right, and then to cover their tracks they howl Ku Klux. "POETRY." —If we had more farmers and few er fops, we'd have more good men and better crops. Tho expense of President Johnson's de fence cotne out of private pockets, bat the ' Rump bill is saddled upon the Government. I One of the Arkansas "Senators," according to a letter written by him some years ago, is a drunkard, a gambler and a defaulter. So much the better, then, for his Radicalism. Tho term of twenty-ene United States Sen ators will expire on the 4th of March, 1870, of whom 14 are Hepublicans and 7 Democrats. The Democrats have so far gained one in Ohio, one in California and another in Ore gon. Land is now selling in the South at from one to ten dollars per acre—fine, cleared farming land. Why is it so cheap ? Because niggers won't work. Because they are sup ported by the Freedmen's Bureau, and be cause white men won't enrgrate to a land where they are denied both law and justice, ind where the nigger is either their equal or their superior. Not a single distinguished soldier took part in the nomination of Grant, and not one of ihat class will support him. Chosen by sutlers, carpet-baggers, negroes, and secoud rale politicians, he will be supported by tbe classes they represent and none other. A riot occurred in Washington,on Tues day mght of last week,between the niggers ' and white men—result,two white men killed, drug stores gutted, windows smashed in and ; printing offices threatened. The Radicals call it serenading Grant. The Pacific States reject Radicalism. Ore gon no joins hrnds with California and re pudiates the Jacobin party. The East also repudiate it, while Chase and seven of the Republican Senator* representing the brains of that body In the Senate, desert tbe rotten cause. (Hie Democrat. HARVEY SICKLER, Editor.

Conservative Soldiers' and Sailors Na tional Convention. Tbe Executive Committee appointed by the Sol diers' and Sailors C'onventi n, held at Cleveland in 1866, have called a national Convention of tbe Con servative Soldiers and Sailors of the United States, to meet at the city of New York, the 4th ot July next, to take action ou the nomination of Conserva tive candidates for President and Vice-President. As it is desirable that Pennsylvania should be fully represented in said Convention, we request, our late comrades iu arms to take the necessary action to have delegates elected or appointed from every Congressional district in tho State. As the time is rapidly approaching when the Convention will meet, there should be no delay in tho matter. I EDWARD L DANA, Brigadier General. | WELLINGTON H ENT, Brevet Major General. JACOB SWEITZER.

We wotice a movement among the Dem ocratic masses of this state, favoring the nomination of the IION. ASA PACKER, FOR PRESIDENT, at the Democratic National Convention to be held at New York, on | the 4th proximo. Judge Packer is a man not without fame neither abroad nor in his own country. One so intimately con | nected with the working, industrial mass es—with whom he has always been a friend and co-worker—one who has spent the best years of his life in improving and de veloping the resources of state — and withal, one who, while yet in the vigor : and prime of life and in all probability has many years in which to nsc and enjoy his hard earned fortune —deals it out with such a wiliiog heart and open hand—must needs I have a strong hold on the confidence and affections of the people. Judge Packer as the candidate of the democracy would car- I ry Pennsylvania by an overwhelming ma ! jority ; and by bis great talents and nnas -1 suming manners v.ould honor and dignify | any position in the gift #f the people. We most cheerfully second his nomina tion to the Presidential chair. Judging the capacities of Grant, by the history of his early exploits and pred ilections as recorded, by bis doating dad,he would make a first rate hostler for a third rate hotel, if his habits acquired since be has grown up, would not make it neces sary for him to occupy too many of the stalls, himself. The country requires a man with more brains and less boss; more statesmanship and less whisky drinking, for its chief magistrate, (as to the whisky drinking propensities of the great smokist, sec numerous radical papers of last win ter). £3T The nigger equality ticket is made up on the Kangaroo principle. It is very decidedly the biggest behind, Colfax, at the tail, though lacking in statesmanship, has bad some experience in the political affairs of the country. Grant, at tbe head, is as innocent of ideas in governmental af -1 fairs as a real animal of the class represent ed by him and his tail-piece. It cannot be doubted, that the Kangaroos down [ South and elsewhere will stand by tbe ticket. MRS. LINCOLN'S IDEA OF GRANT. —In the book recently issued under he sanc tion of Mrs. Lincoln, purporting to be i written by a colored seamstress long in her employ, the following estimate of Gen. Grant appears in a domestic colloquy be tween Mrs. Lineoln and her husband : " He is a butcher, and is not fit to be at the head of the army." And when the President said, byway, of defending tho General, " But he has been very success ful, " she replied; •' Yes, be generally man ages to claim a victory ! He loses two men to the enemies one. If the war should last longer, he be in power, he would depopulate the North. According to bistactics, there is nothing under the heavens to do but to march a new lot of men up in front of the rebel breastworks, j to be shot down as fast as they lake their position. Graut I repeat, is an obstinate fool and a butcher." Impeachment and conviction of the President were to bring success to the Chicago ticket. Said old Thad. Stevens ; "If the President is not convicted, the Rad ical candidate will carry but two Northern States—Masaacbusetti and Vermont." The Interest of the White Toilers of the North in the Presidential Election. To tbe unemployed poor of New York a Presidential election, with all that it im plies, is a matter of life and death. To the wealthy it may be an exciting stimu lus ; the well-to-do, a holiday, pastime ; but to the unemployed poor it is virtually and actually a matter of life and death.— It is a battle which is to decide the fate of millions, but it is well to rerrember that it is a battle in which the rich have no ad vantages over the poor in point of weap ons. The ballot is as effective in the hands of a mechanists in those of a mil lionaire. The one thing necessary is to use it- Another point well worth remem bering is, that in elections numbers is the only thing that tells, and the advantage of numbers is ever on the side of the Democ racy, for the toiling millions always out number the men of leisure, and the De mocracy can truly say, "the poor are al ways with us." A Democratic victory is, therefore, emphatically the triumph of La bor, and is a matter of as vital interest to tbe poor woman who sews and stitches fourteen hours out of the twenty-four, as to any Presidential candidate. There is ; not a dweller in a miserable attic in New Yoik whose hard lot would not be render ed more endnrably by the overthrow of the accursed party that" for eight long years have been practicing on tbe life of the Republic, that reaped a profit from every blow the artisan struck, and every stitch the needlewoman sewed ; that drove the poor into miserable tenements, in or der 2tl0 — Some of the Massachusetts speakers acta ally sued the committee ot towns in New Jersey lor their services ! This is a pretty paily to be sure. Tiiey have so arranged matters as to compel tne people to pay enormous taxes to uiaiutuiu military governors and thousands ot subordinates; lo make distinction be tween the bond holder and the man who loans ins money to start machinery or build up cities, by giving the termer about 10 pet cent, and tne latter only 7 per cent. — 2'ientun True American teT " Let us liave peace, " say Grant's %gh men, aping their leader. Who hinders ycu ? You have Con gress by more than two thirds in either branch. The President is not in your way, for you can and do override all his vetoes. The Supreme Court is not in your way, for you car. and do abridge its jurisdiction. The army is not in your way, for you have created Grant military dictator in the Southern desert which yon have made in ten States and call peace. — These powers you have and have had for three years, thus utterly unimpeded have you been on every hand, It* you want peace why didn't you give us peace ? An Expensive Law. If the Radicals are not soon put out of power, there will not he money enough in the country to pay the expenses of our State and National Governments. They are constantly inventing new ways to spend the people's money. The Registry Law passed at the last session of our Legislature turns out to be an expensive thing, 'iho City Commissioners of Phil adelphia have made application to the Councils for an extra appropiation of eighty-one thousand dollars to carry out the law in that citv. *At this rate it will take half a million dollars to execute it throughout the State ! Thus while trade in all its branches is languishing and business men have hard work to keep their heads above water, our Radical Congress spends millions on the Freed men's Bureau and our Radical State Leg islature spends half a million to put in execution an unnecessary and vexatious Registry Law. Is it not time to have a change ?— Exchange, A scandalous copperhead story represents Grant as locked in bis room several hours each day preparing his letter of acceptance, with a copy of Webster's Unabrigcd Dictionary, "'Frost's Original Letter Writer," and Barney's "New Method, " and asking Washburne through the keyhole whether Chicago was Cht cawgo or Chikoughgo, as Webster bad not put that word in bis dictionary. • .Greenbacks For Bonds. Tbe resolution offered by Gen. Carey of Ohio, in the House of Representatives at Washington, on Monday, was rather startling to tbe privileged classes who imagine that tbe peeple are willing to pay them in gold what they purchased for greenbacks, and that at a time when gold was at a far higher premium than it is at present. Cun. Carey was elected by the workingmen of Ohio, and in offering this resolution he has no doubt been influenced by the wishes of his constituents. Tbe heavy vote in favor of referring the matter to the Committee ol Ways and Means—74 to 27—was also startling to the Radical aristocrats, and they will not leave any means untried to have the bill strangled in Committee. We are much mistaken in our estimate of Gen. Carey f however, if he permits th.s to be done lie has worded his preamble precisely the same as one of the resolutions adopted by the Radical Convention at Chicago, and we Lope he will persevere until he forces the Radicals to define their true position on the financial question. The preamble and resolution are as follows : W heheas, The national honor reqirres the payment of the public ind< btness to creditors at borne and abroad, not only according to the letter, but tbe spirit of the law under which it was contracted, therefore Resolved , That ni itLer the letter nor the spirit of tbe law under which tl.^s were issued, requires payment of the prin cipal in coin, and it will be in the uuno-t good faith it bidders thereof be paid in tbe same money which has been paid to the soldiers who fought the battl sot the w-.i, and with which the government settles the claims ol the widows and orphans of our fallen heroes—the same that laborers are required to receive as wages, and that which is a legal tender lor nil public and private debts, except custom duties and in terest on pudlic debt." If the National II inking and Boudhold ing monopolies imagine that the people will submit to be ground into the dust for their benefit, they are greatly mistaken.— The national debt lias already been psid twice over again. If the national drones are aot willing to eat the same honey as the national workers, they may perhaps be stung out of the national hive. If the people, in their poverty and dispair, repu diate the national debt entirely, tiieir ra ii. cal rulers, who fotced them to pay gold for greenbacks, will be to blame for the result, as they are to blame for the pres .nt sad condition of our once prosperous and happy country I —Reading Ee all their principles, all their political ideas ; and for this programme they will labor more energetically aed with more resolute persistency in the future. They will ex tend the sphere of its operation also.— Grant acc. pts their programme fully, un reservedly, slavishly, and deliberately promises beforehand that lie will oppose no obstruction to it, that no " policy " of his stands in the way of the pnarranged policy of the men who pull the w ires of his political existence. If such a party succeeds in electing sucli a President, the country can judge what must he the re sult. What is the conduct of the impeach ment Managers in their' present investi gation hut a foretaste of what would fol low with such men in power ? Here we have all the personal rights of the citizen invaded at once. Without any process of law whatever, a man is deprived of his liberty and thrust into a cell at the mere bidding of a political bully. The secrecy of the telegraph anil post office is violated as no man would dare to violate it in des potic France. Men who do such a thing merely because thev have the power, will know no limit but that of their power in enforcing their will." UNITED STATES Internal Revenue!
