Mr. Clark has become thoroughly dis

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.

Work ! Work !! 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

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 ?

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
