The County Ticket.-Importance of the
Triumphant Election of all its Individ•
nal Candidates.
The necessity of electing every man :on the
County Ticket, is one which cannot be too
seriously considered or too actively prepared
for, between this and the election. We know
of nothing to interfere with the complete tri-,
umph of the County Ticket. In an Individual
aspect, the candidates are most unexceptiona
ble. In a political view, the cause which those
nominees represent, is the holiest and moat
important that ever presented itself to the sup
port of a people, save and except that all over
shadowing cause, which has the glory of God
for its object, and which embraces in its end
the complete purification and salvation of man.
THE CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR,
David Fleming, is one of those men who need
no commendation to prove the merit upon
which they stand. His actions have alwayu
been of that character which bespeak the good
opinions of good men. He is honest and faith
ful, capable and unselfish. As a legislator, he
would bring to the position for which he has
been nominated, talents of the highest order
and an integrity which no temptation could
shake or corrupt. hat we want such men in
the Legislature, all who know anything about
the machinery and vile ends used to degrade
legielation, will at once admit, and for these
reasons we anticipate for Mr. Fleming a vote
greater than the mere politician could have
received, a vote at once the acknowledgment
of his good qualities and the proof that the
People era always willing to endorse a man of
character when ha - rippea.u.e..,.. them_for their
support.
THE CANDIDATES FOR REPRESENTATIVES
are both unexceptionable men. Colonel Alle
maleher-city, is a man of unquestioned
abi of established character, and of a repu
tation such as cannot fail to command for him
the vote of every man who has at heart the
best interests of the country. Added to, these
facts, Colonel Alleman has created for himself
a claim to the support of loyal men, by the
zeal and enthusiasm with which he entered the
service of the government as a soldier, at a
time when such service involved privation and
suffering, danger and death. Daniel Kaiser,
the associate on the ticket for the Assembly, is
a very popular man in the locality where he is
known, simply because he is a very pure man,
upright in all his dealings and faithful in all
his covenants. He will make a very useful
Representative, because he is thoroughly ac
quainted.with the wants and the resources of
the people of Dauphin, county. Some of Mr.
Kaiser's friends claim that be will run ahead
of his ticket because of his popularity with the
people of all parties. The .fOrco of their- claim
must be demonstrated by the result of the elec
tion.
THE CANDIDATE FOR. SHERIFF,
Colonel William W. Jennings, is the youngest
man on the ticket. Notwithstanding his youth,
Colonel Jennings has a knowledge of . business
and an experience in conducting large enter
prises, which peculiarly fit him for the active
and arduous duties of High Sheriff of a large,
wealthy county, whose business and resources
rauk it second, to few counties in the Union.
On the score of fitness, our candidate for Sheriff
can be favorably compared to his competitofas
well as to all Rho have heretofore held the same
important position in:this county. And aside
from his personal fitness, Colonel Jennings is
before the people with a soldier's claim to
civil honor, which must alwayi be recognized
among those who expect their claims for loyalty
to be accepted as sincere. Therefore, we be
lieve that Colonel Jennings has earned; the
high honor which is about to be bestowed upon
him ; and we are confident, too, that he will
not forfeit that honor by a single failure' to dis
charge his official duty. Ginlonel Jennings'
majority will be immense. Mark the predio
tion.
THE CANDIDATE FOR RECORDER,
.
John Ringland, is at present Recorder of the
county, and therefore needs little to be said by
us in his favor. The faithful discharge of his
official duties, is the best recommendation he
can have to secure him the firm support of his
fellow-citizens for re-election. The intricate'
labors of his offiee,•its great responsibilities,
the important relation which it Veers to the
businees of the county and the. interests of in
dividuals, have never once been lost sight of
by Mr. Ringland—but have been faithfully dis
charged and watched. Such services andTabili
ty will command their reward in a triumphant
re election.
THE CANDIDATE FOR TREASURER,
Isaac Hershey, is a plain man, with „a , ge nera l
knowledge of business, imbued with that, high
integrity which is so requisite in f all who are
shaved with the custody of the public funds.
If the nominating convention had searched the
county and canvassed the personal charactit
every citizen, a better man than kr. -Hershey
could not have been found for the control of
the public funds.
rELE CANDIaIIEb FOB. COidMISSIONERS,
R. W. McClure and Henry Hartman, are two
men peculiarly fitted for the positions named.
The Commissioners of a county should always
be men thoroughly acquainted with its re
sources and its wants, as they are charged with
the development of the one and the supply of
the other. They should also bo practical men.
with the liberality to make the county keep
pace with the progress of its sisters, but with
the care which should deter them from im
posing heavy burdens on the people by the ex
travagant waste of their funds. In these respects
our candidates will not be found wanting, and
hence their election by handsome majorities is
certain.
PA
THE CANDIDATE FOR DIRECTOR OF THE
FOOR,
John Kreamer, is one of the most popular and
reputable citizens of the HallOVOll3, and one too,
who will faithfully discharge the trust about
to he reposed in him. He has peculiar business
qualities for the Directorship, a recognition of
which will give him a large vote and a hand
some majority.
THE CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR,
Samuel - ItEcllhenny, will not suffer by comport- ,
son with any man in the county who claims
ahilities fitting him for such a position; and.we t
must all admit tilt the duties of Auditor a r e
among the most arduous and important of all
the official labors in the administration of the
iffairs'of the county.. The vote Which Mr:
Mcllhenny will, receive will prove- th's, as hisz
nomination is exceedingly popular with thel
business men of - the county.
—We thus sribmit the merits and the claims'
of the loyal men who are candidates for official,
trust in this cAtnty. We confider that this,
much is due to our candidates. Heretofore,.
the press upon our columns prevented as from.
referring in full to these gentlemen. But it is
never too late to write the truth of individuals.
The truth we print in this article. Let the'
people ponder it well on the day of the election.
,ter The law of self defence includes
the right ofproperty as i'ell as of person; ;
and it seems to me that there must be 'a

be indeed irrexessible, when SLAVE--?

The War Debt-.A. Word to Tax Payers.'
Shall the tax payers assume the just debt ,
arising from the expenses of saving the Gov
ernment from a conspiracy growing out of the,
corruption of Democracy in increasing the frau- -
chimes and - the powers of slavery ?—or shall the
tax'payers be saddled with:the: debt created by
the traitors to give them strength in tearing
the UnioniefifagiMeriteaffd - forever disgracing
the Government ? These are important ques
tions. So far as the debt incurred in the war
against rebellion is concerned, we know that it
is large, because the war is one of the most
stupendous ever waged by any government for
its preservation. But, every dollar of that debt
was created, by the necessities of treason—a trea
son growing out of slavery—a treason encouf
aged by such men_as George W. Woodward.--
EieFd is the point to which the people must
directl their attention, properly to appreciate
this subject of indebtedness. Ihe debt grew out
of Democratic influence. The debt is. due to the
policy of the Democratic leaders in encouraging
rebellion—and now that rebellion has failed,
these same leaders are advocating the policy of
having a compromise to satisfy:, and hring back
the slave and revolted States to the Union, on
the covenant that the free States assume the
rebel debt, consolidate it with our own, and
thus press the payment of the liabilities of
of treason on the sweating toil and enterprise
of the free labor of the loyal States. Here is
the debt of the slave or revolted States:
On the Ist of January, 1863, the
rebel`debt ..... $556,105,062
Mr. Meimminger's estimate fOr ex
penditures to J ulylst was 8367,-
929,229, but as; during,' that
time,Confederati3'sdrip fell to
about twelim email on the dol
lar, the experidfthres may be
safely reckoned to have in
creased to at 1ea5t....... . ....
Supposing the Demoeratic peace
effected by July lst, 1864, we
must add another year's expen
diture,'and as the scripts now
worth only about eight cents
on the dollar, and rapidly de
clining, it mnstooit a sum rep
resented by an issue paper
of about... . . ... . ........... I'6oo 000 01
Southern war debt, duly 1, 1864, $2,546,106,062
Or a trifle of two thousand five
hundred millions of dollars to
be added to our burdens.
To this we may add,,for damn- •
ges done during the war :
600,000 escaped and liberated
slaves, at $BOO. 400 000 000
Property seized and confiscated, 200,000,000.
Property destroyed 300,000,000
$8,456,105,062
Or THREE THOUSAND FIVE• HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLIABS, to " produDe good
feeling" among those who have been madly
ptriving to destroy the country. Had the
rebellion been a success, the men who sym
instbiaed with it, and Who claim to be loyal
citizens of the loyal States, would have been
ready to advocate the repudiation of the entire
Federal debt, simply because they were aware
that the bonds of that ifidebtednms are in the
bends of the t pepple who deniand the preser
vation of the Union-and tbe perpetuation of
liberty in this GOVernment.' By, such a repu
diation it was designed to bankrupt and beggar
the free States, and thus, bring them entirely
under the feet of the slave power. But now
thit the rebellion is an acknowledged failm,
Its 'friends in the North, "such men as W
Ward and such sheets as the Any Organ,, are
maxims to save the credit of the slaveholders,
by forcing the people of the North to liquidate"
the obligationis of traitors. 'Mils is done to save
the.4lol llll creditors of # l f rebel :leaders:- It
*mit be known that :our ‘modern . Demos ite
br , ...ve suddenly become enamored of our ancient
et cmies, the English aristocracy. That aris
tocracy a3vatLeed the money to carry on the
war of reballiou. Teat debt must now be
paid, at least so say the Northern allies of re
bellion, and as the slaveholders can never
liquidate the enormous sum, it is to be saddled
on the people of the free and loyal States, if
the De nacracy succeed to power. Let the tax
payer remember these facts. It is not the Pay
ment of our own just debt, made necessary by
the conspiracy of the Democratic leaders of the
South, which now troubles the Democraticlead
ers of the North. It is the payment of the
rebel debt, a payment which the Democratic
leaders intend to force on the people of the
North, as a compromise to induce the slave
holding tisitors to come back into the Union
and aCcept the control and the corruption of
the Government in years to come as they con•
trolled and corrupted it in years pest. We want
the honest tax payers of the State to remember
these facts when they come to decide who shall
control the Government.
ttar And thus it happens that the pro
vidence of that Good, Being who has
watched over us front the begin,ning and
saved us from external foes, has so ordered
our internal relationi as to_malce Negro
Slavery an incakulable blessing tous and
the people of Great Britain.—Gio. W.

THE MENACED DESTRUCTION •OF
HARRISBURG BY THE REBELS.
Glen. Lee gives . the Lle to the Tory Organ
When the rebel hordes, in the hot days of
last June, began to swarm across the Petemac, i
spreading consternation along the defenceless
borders of - Maryland, the 2bry Organ ridiculed
the fears of the people, and declared that Lee did
not intend to invade Pennsylvania. At the time
we accepted its denial of Lee's presumed inten
tion to invade Pennsylvania,believing that it was
only fair for the Organ of a cause to be informed,
of the movements of its armed upholder& Bat,
as Lea advanced step by step into Maryland,,
and as ho crossed' the PannsYlvania border, we.
Could not resist acquiescing in the general be
lief that , the rebel chief contemplated the cap
tare and neetruCtion of the capital of the State.,
The expression of this opinion on our pit%
Cited the ridicule and the fierce denunciation of
the Tory Organ; and when Lee was driven from
Getty sburg, beaten badly if not woefully battered,
the Tory Organ made a greit fimrieh of the fact
of his retreat as the corroboration of Its asser
tion that Lse never intended to come as far; as!
Harrisburg. So positive was the Organ on this
subject that it did not hesitate to ridicule the
well founded fears of the people and Government
as to Lee's intention& But it now appears that
the rebels begin to mistrust their ally, and
well they may, because on the first
,opportu
nity the Organ will betray the confederaoy as it
has already betrayed its, country. This must
be so, or why was the Organ not in

burg f Or are we to believe that the Organ was
apprised of that movement, and that it denied
the fact to disarm theTeople f and thus make
them an easy prey to the rebel aTnay ? Which
of the two'rositionti will the Organ accept? In
.
Tee's report of hie cagipaignln Pennsylvania,
he distinctly asserts that itwas a part of his pro
gramme to visit-Harrisburg. That intention
was frustrated .by-his defeat at Gettysburg, and
that defeat only saved Harrisburg from the
torch of the invader.
—As we wrote above, Lee gives the lie,to the
ibry Organ.in his report, AI ass matter of sat-
isfaction to a curious.people, we trust that the
violinist of the:Organ will: explain. Did Lee
refuse to pay the Organ any longer from his war

; SHABBY MICK .-It is well known: that
the copperheads have two candidates on their
ticket for the Legislature, yet it is admitted
throughout the whole county that no efforts
are made by the leaders to obtain votes for the
'whole ticket, but Mr. Awn and Mr. Rainono
ebein to be the only candidates who have their
cordial support. They care nothing for their
candidate, Mr. Zoom, who is on the same
ticket with Mr. Awl.. In this city, a large
number of the copperheads will -give Awl a
dead vote.
This seems to be the old gems. One or two
candidatas on their ticket are always sacrificed.

The Woodwards Against the Utitholice
We are one of those who believe in the per
fect freedom of religious worship, and we are
ready to recognize the religion of all men, so
that it looks to God for its grand object of wor
ship, and demands& faith in a perfect salvation
hereafter for its reward of virtue and honesty
in this world. Bat all men are not thud liberal.
Some there are who are ready not only tb pro
scribe a man for the sake of his religious faith,
but who are ready also to ostracize all men '
seeking a home in our midst, who were born in
foreign countries. In this crusade against men
for their religious opinions and foreign birth,
none have been more fierce than the Wood
wards—George W. Woodward and hia sons.
George W. Woodward, years ago, proposed to
disfranchise all foreigners who sought these
States, for the purpose of making America their
homes. In this• dirifranchisement scheme, he
di
ieelared his intention to embrwe all men born
abroad--regardleii3 of their abilities, their vir
tues, their love of liberty or their willingness
to serve the Government wherever it needed
an arm to defend it from a foe. The spirit of
the elder Woodward has been_inftwed into the
hearts of his sons; who pursue. this Wild theory
of proscription even farther than that of striking
men down on account of the place of their birth.
This was exemplified at the election for United
Stater Senator is the Legislature of Pennsyl
vania last winter. 4bout the time that the
cantraza for the coppeibiaad caucus nomination
was at its height, a son of Justice Woodward,
Stanley Woodward, appeared on the field, as the
friend of Backalew, and the opponent of James
Campbell, of Philadelphia. The sole argument
used against Campbell, by young Woomoard, was
BASED ON THB CATHOLICISM OE CAMPBELL Thus
Woodward appealed to; the Democracy not to
nominate Campbell for the United States Senate
bananas he!Wasla Catholic—hoWevai well the
fact is known that Campbell is an American
born citizen, and a man of unquestioned in
tegrity. To such an - extent was;this opposition
on the part of the ...Woodward faintly carried
against Campbell, on account of.his Catholi
cism, that it aroused the just indignation of
Peter Walsh, a Representative from Luzern
county, in the last Leglidature, and forced him
publicly to denouricp yonng Woodward for his
malignant'persecntion 'of an American citizen
on account of lifs relig,lori. Walsh not only
denounced Woodward in Harrisburg at the time
the Woodwards thus ,oppmed Campbell, but he
has followed up his denunciation by exposing
these facts to the people of Wilkesbarre, where
young Woodward is known.
—We submit these facts to the fair minded
men of Pennsylvania. Like father like son, is
applicable to the Woodwards in . this case. The
hatred which George W. Woodward entertained
against all foreigners was thus well emulated
by his son, who carded that malevolence so
far as to demand the sacrifice of. an American
Citizen on account of bifteligical — oPintins.—
These are facts which liberal men who are
voters, at the coming election for Governor,
should well ponder. Is a man who teaches the
persecution of Americans for their religion, fit
to rule one of the great States of the American
Union? Let the free voter answer at the bal
lot-box.

All Over the Sate.
When the campaign for Governor opened,

which we had in the honesty and patriotism of
the masses. The issues were too plain to be
mistaken by the people, and hence, believing

duty, by voting for candidates whose election
would undoubtedly benefit the rebel cause.

nomination of Woodward . was made, because
pe would prove the`mist 'aianable man for the

CAULISLE, Oct. 6, 1863.
Mt. Eteros:—ln koking over the names of
Philadelphia copperhead speakers, who are
making political speeches in different parts of
the State, I perceive the names of some who,
dare not do so openly at home, and therefore
have to go abroad.to Speak, where they are not
so well known, Among the number is the name
of W. A. Porter, who was compelled by the
honest voters of Pennsylvania to vacate his seat
on the Supreme Bench, a position he was not
fit to fill. Since the verdict of the people in
Porter's case he has not been heard of until a
few weeks ago, and it is not for any political
principle that he is now atumpiog the State, for
of that he has ever been devoid, but for the
office of Attorney General. By the side of Por
ter we may place W. B. Reed as a fit companion.
I see, too, that the rotten carcass of the ex-
Sheriff—ex-Judge's (a Judge for seven months)
father his been brought forth from political
obscurity, and made a tcol of, by the copper
heads. The old Governor is a fit companion for
Woodward, and its a pity his former bosom
friends, Dan. Brodhead and the notorious Ned
McGowen, were not associated with him now.
The people of Pennsylvania will remember the,
last two years of Governor Porter's administra
tion, and Woodward is welcome to him. Gov_
Curtin can well do without Governor Porter's
one vote, for that is all he (Porter) can now con
trol. While I write thus of D. R. Porter and
W. A. Porter, it affords me pleasure to say that
two of Gov. P.'s sons are battling for Curtin and
their country, and are wait men to the back
bone. Gov. Curtin will be elected over the
man who says that "soldiers are. not fit to
vote" by a large majority.
