Representative Conference. The Democratic Representative Confer ference for this District met at Nicholson the '24 th inst., and confirmed the choice of their respective Counties of candidates for this office, to wit :C. C. MILLS, of Sus quehanna, and GEORGE OSTERHOCT, of ! Wyoming. Our citizens are so well acquainted with ! the latter named gentleman that commen dation from us would be superfluous. Mr. Mills the candidate presented by our Democratic friend, in Susquehanna!), is an intelligent, enterprising man and most ex cellent citizen, and, would like Mr. Oster | hout, if elected, truly and honestly repre sent the interests of the people. Let the Democrats of the district show their appreciation of these good and true men by giving them a rousing vote. December, ISCo, Mr. Stanton, then Secrctaiy of War, gave as the cost of the War Department on a peace basis the I sum of thirty three millions of dollars. From official records it is shown that - the War Department ir. the three years since the close of the war has cost six hundred and ten millions of dollars, or mote than six times that named at the close of the; contest. Why is this ? Because the Rad- i icals are running peace on a war footing. They are keeping a large standing army, feeding thousands of idle negroes, and thus increasing expenses at a fearful rate If continued in power, no man can meas- ' ure tbe cost of this government. That of Eugland or France will bear eompar ion with it. EVERY laboring man lias to work two and a-lialfdays each week to pay the taxes on what he eats and wears during that time.

Work !! ! Our lriends must go work and keep at work, and their work will be done in the I right way and with the right results. The ' following suggestions deserve the attention i I of every Democrat. 1. Form a Seymour Club at once in every township, with an independent work ing organization in each election di-trict. 2. Get the name of every Seymour and ! ; Blair voter in the district, ami have him a I member of the Club, if possible. 3. Next, record the name of every other 1 voter in said district, witli every one enti tled to become or to he made a voter be fore November 3rd. 4. See that every one who will read i Democratic papers is provided with at ' i least one good one. 5. Make arrangements that will render ; the polling of an illegal vote in that dis trict morally impossible. 6. Take care that —no matter what may i be the weather—every Seymour voter in i that district shall be at the polls before j noon of the election day, and shall vote as I early as may be. 7. Look out for the undecided or waver ing that they vote for us so far as may be. Friends ! such is the meaning of work, i Are you already about it ? GALISHA GKOW (Crow) says: "If Scy-! niour and Blair are elected there will be war." Who will fight' Which one of the ( Mongrel leadeis will fight ? Is it Sumner, 1 or Greeley, or Phillips, or old Ben. Wade ? When these fellows light, Butler's ' apple bloom" will cooie in the dead of winter, f The boys that fight are on thr other side— they are with the white men now, Th y have had enough of fighting for negre.i Wanted—A Congress. Is it not about time that wo had a Con gress once more, one composed of sound men, who would legislate for the whole country and the people's interests? As it is, we have nothing of the kind. The as semblage that at present bears that name is but a political caucus, a Central Directory in the exclusive interest of the Radical I party. It is controlled, manipulated and managed by such men as Summer, Yates, Butler, Kelley and Ashley, inside, and Forney, Browniow, Greeley and the whole herd of small potato dictators, outside.— Fur the past three or four years we have had tlie sad experience ot its partisan ' character. What it has done in the way of legislation lias been of a "special" char acter—that is for the sole benefit of the Radical party. It has kept the Southern States from their rightful places in the L nion in order to perpetuate its own pow er, and only (considerate tyrants! ) graci ously allow the people of that section of : the country to vote after it has placed the white man under the heel of the black, and think to hnve "fixed" the vote so it will ibe Radical- And now fearful that their "reconstruction" acts will prove a blunder and that they are in danger of being "hoist with their own petard," they on Monday last re-assembled "Congress " The peo i pie are not consulted, neither are the Con ; ervative members ot the body, but a Rad ical Committee issues the order for its meeting ! Is not this the strongest kind lof evidence of its partisan nature ? It meets at the call of party , not to legislate i for any of the wants ot the nation, but to i concoct something or other to help the Radical taction. How do the tax-payers lue their money spent in this manner ? Are they satisfied to give politicians each five thousand dollars a year to do nothing | for tne public good, but merely to go to Washington and spend more of the peo ) pie s money in supporting a certain politi -1 cal party ? If so, then they have but them-elves to blame for present and future evils. If not —if they desire a present mis-named Congress to he the last of the kind—if they would have faithful, honest Representatives at the seat of Government i —if they would have a stop put to extrav agance in high places—in a word if they would have a Congress to legislate, nut f'r a party but, for the people ; thev will cast their votes against Ulysses Mercur the Radical Congressional nominee, and tor Victor Fi. Piollet, the Democratic (.'an didate for Congress. Bradford Argus. What We Have Done. The civil war took the shackles from 4,000,000 of ncgrots, and the Radical aristocracy propose to put these shackles upon 25,000.000 of white men as tax-pay ers. The really rich mm of the country own half the wealth of the country, and much of it is held in bonds which pay no taxes. The injustice of this was illustra ted last week by Mr. Cary, M. C., of Ohio, who said : "Let me illustrate—l live at College Hill, near Cincinnati. Before the war there was a man living there worth 82,500 wiiich he had invested in an omnibus and horses. When the war broke out he hired a man to drive his 'bus, and went into tt.e war. He came back, and is now running his 'bus again. That fellow has to pay two and a half per cent, of his eart ings every month to the tax- ( gatherer—two and a half per cent o 1 ! all his receipts I found, by looking at the assessor's books, that he pa d ; SI 18,46 government tax last year. The man j that lives right across the road, same place | was engaged, during the war, in making j army wagons, and he invested 850,000 in I Government bonds. Ho pays five per cent, tax on his income, but is entitled to take out 81,000 of that as President of a National Bank. Yet the fellow who runs this 'bus, and fought the battles of the war, has to pay SI 18,49 on his bus.*' Better is it a good deal for the rich bondholder that he pay his share of what , is due and needed to support the govern- I mer.t. While this property of the rich man is exempt from taxation, everything the poor man wears and eats is taxed. Why, • your wife's night-cap is taxed, and the ! cup of coffee you drank this morning, one j | cent and a half of its cost was government j I tax. You are the men that pay the taxes I have a house that I rent, and I have got j ! some tenants. They put it pretty heavy . upon me ; but every ten dollars they put me I sock upon ray tenants." (Laughter.) j A YOUNG LADY OCTRAGED BY NEGROES, j A Fortress Monroe dispatch says that: "On the 10th a fiendish outrage was I perpetrated oa the person of a young girl, residing about four miles from Hampton, Va., on the Yorktown road, by two nig gers, named Henry Harrison and Wm. Jones. The young lady belongs to a ! bighlv respectable family. The perpetra . tors were arrested, and are now held in a i military prison, awaiting their trial by the i civil authorities." These outiages are becoming frightfully common ail over the South, and especially in the neighborhood of nigger troops. — The law must take its course in reaching i and punishing such frightful atrocites, but the law is not equal to the offense. The i nigger now so wooed and courted for his j vote, and elevatedjto important offices, must find his own level. Jacobinism has I taken all decency out of him, and freedom with him, as with the most of his kind in Africa seems as a warrant for the gratifi- j cation of his beastly lusts.— Ex, THINGS TO BE ATTENDED TO. —Every ; Democrat must he on the look-out and see that on the second Tuesday of October there is not a single Democialic vote ab sent. Sec that every Democratic voter is legally assessed. See that no Democratic vote fails for want of naturalization. See that no Democratic vote is lost for wnt of payment of taxes, Sec that no Demo cratic voter makes business or pleasuie ar- ' rangements that will make or probably may make, his being at the polls on the | I3tb of October uncertain. Misrepresentation in Congress—An Evil to be Cured next Month. Pennsylvania has twenty-four Repre sentatives in the lower house of Congress. Of these, in the Fortieth Congress, eigh teen are Republicans and only six Detuo crats, At the election in 1860 these Rep resentatives had respectively aggregate party majorities of 36.784 and 25,345, making a difference in favor of the lie publicans 11,439. According to all rules of fairness, the Democrats on this vote should have had at least eleven ol the twenty-four Representatives to which the State is entitled, and the Republicans hut thirteen. By the present districting of the State, however, the State has been so gerrymandered Mat, in effect, 11,439 voles elected twelve Republican members, while the six Democratic members actually received 292,351 votes in their election.— At this election, in 1860, no Democrat was elected by a less majoiity than 5,000, while ten Republicans were elected b\ majorities ranging from 515 to 1,884 Of the total vote cast (596,141) the Demo crats electing six members, polled 29,!,- 351 votes, and the Republicans, electing eighteen members, polied 303,790. In other words, it required 48,725 votes to elect a Democrat, while 16,877 elect a Republican ! And these twelve Republi cans, elected by 11,439 votes, are called •'the Representatives of the people," and Pennsylvania is said to have "a republican lorm ot government," This is Republicanism—it is Radicalism —and leaves Mr. Drake's new Coiistitu of Missouri, his test oath and Registration law quite in the shade, because we arc told by the Democrat , "the number ol whites disfranchised in this State, ac cording to the best information that can i e obtained, is between twenty and twenty five thousand," whereas in Pennsylvania about one hundred and twenty-five thous and Democrats have been virtually dis franchised bv this gerrymandering process Wuicli has deprived them of an equal oi relative representation in Congress. Yet Pennsylvania has always been called a ••loyai" and libeity-loving State Happily however, the Republicans, who got into power by the very reverse of honorable means, in redisricting the State of Penn sylvania, under the census returns ot 1860, have overcome the matter. In order t secure undue influence in Congress, it was necessary to carve out Democratic di.- i iricts with large majorities and Republi- ! can districts with the smallest pos-ible ma jorities that would secure election. Tb consequence is that there is no possibh chance lor defeat in any one of the six D. mocratic districts. On the other haud, with the small majorities in eleven of the eighteen Republican districts, aided by the reaction which has been developed at every election held within a year, the Democrats arc sure of electing a majority of the members of Congress in Pennsylva nia in October, and they may completely turn the tables upon their unscrupulous opponents. If so, as we believe will be the case, we shall Lave another illustration of political dishonesty defeating its own purposes, and the vicious contrivances ot bid men returning to plague their iuven tors. — St. Louis Republican. "STAND BY THE CONSTITUTION." —This should be the rallying cry ot the opponent.- of Radicalism. The Constitution is the sheet anchor of our liberties, the only se curity we have for the presevation ot order, and of the rights of property and person. ITie Radical dogma, that the Constitution can be set aside by a Congressional enact ment, by the result of an election, by a uoisy outbreak of a popular passion, or the feverish unanimity of designing dema gogues, or of an excited press, is a crime against civil government, and an insult to liberty regulated by law. The Constitu tion is the will of tbe people, solemnlv and formally expressed. It stands as the'bond of national life. It cannot be touched save in the way itself provides, without expo sing us to the horrors of anarchy and the insane fury of contending factions Let the men who even hint at governing "out side" of it beheld evermore accursed a disorganizers, enemies of social order and popular liberty.—A ationul Intelligencer, CONGRESS. —This body, fitly styled a " Rump" met in Washington on Monday 21st at the call of Radical politicians, but adjourned, without doing doing any busi ness, until October 16, and then, by the Speaker and President protem , until No vember 10, from which time the adjourn ment should be until the first Monday in December, unless at either time it should be determined to transact business. Oi course the mileage of these infamous con spirators must be paid, which amounts to a large sum. This is Radical economy for you ! lamb-like Browniow, in a recent conversation, said lie "was bitterly opposed to rebel enfranchisement, and that the on ly proper way to treat the hell-deserving rebels"-all white Southerners are so callel "was to annihilate them by fire and sword." Is this the peace General Grant is sighing for ? honest soldier or patriot states mm can remain a Democrat."— State Guard. "You lie ! yon villain, you lie !— Horace Greely. It is a confessed fact that less than one half of the taxes collected trom the people reacli the treasury of the Unite i* States. It illustrates the honesty of the Mongrel oliicials. A LABORING man must now work one day to pay for five pounds of coffee. In old fashioned Democratic times, a day's work would pay for sixteen pounds of cof fee. EIGHT day's work are now required for a barrel of dour. Elect Grant and make ten day's labor necessary to bin - a barrel of flour.
