The ticket formed en Saturday last by the Union men of the county consists of the best men in the county. The nomination of David Thomas, Esq., fur Congress, is a tribute of re apect due to a worthy man and good eitizen.— Mr. Thomas was fur many years the Superin tendent of the Crtine Iron Company's Works, at Catasauqun,. he is a practical' man of un- common energy and business tact. lie has held the position of Superintendent of the Company's Works ever since 1839, whelk they commenced the erection of the furnaces, to try the experiment of making iron with anthracite coal. Through his skill and energy, the Com pany, all of whom resided outside of the coun ty, have been able to make profits on the in vestments then made by them, and caused to 'be built a town now containing nearly 3000 inhabitants around their works, while the coin- munity in which they are located have seen the value of real estate greatly increased by reason of the location and successful manage ment of these Works: A ready holm: market has been created for all kinds of produce which the land.within many miles around id capable of producing, at remunerating prices. The people of this county, of all classes, have reap ed and are still reaping large benefits from there Iron Works, and the developement of the mines of the county, thus started by him. Ile Is a man of integrity, and firmness, qualities very much needed in a. representative. A sense of honor and gratitude in the pro of the county, would secure his election. For the Legislature we present to the people of this county, Capt. T. S. Kline and Capt. Micheal M. Kistler, both soldiers, who ha'.'e served.their country faithfully and one of whom, Capt. Kistler has received woundstMattle, in defence of the old flag, that will injure him for life. They are both honest, sober, industrious, upright men, possessed of good talents, and well fitted for the, positions. They should re ceive the support of all persons who beiievo that rebellion is a crime, and patriotism a vir tue to be honored and respected. Rebel or confederate soldiers and their supporters are not expected to vote for them. For Associate Judges we have Samuel J. Kistler and Capt. Charles Keck. Two better men cannot be found in the county, in either party, for those positions. They possess all the qualifications requisite to the protection of the rights and liberties of the people. Prothonotary, Lieut. Phillip Flores has been a soldier, in addition to which ho is capable and honest. Register, Lewis H. Roth, has lost his right arm in defence of our liberties, and we owe him some recompense in return. To elect him to this office where he can earn his support by hard work is little enough. He writes better with his left hand than any man who has had 'the office for years has done'with his right hand. For Coroner, Dr. I'. It. Palm, a practical physician, has also been a soldier and is the right kind of a man for the position. We will continue our remarks about the candidates,next week, FIRST GUN FROM VERMONT Union Gain, 5,000. Vermont held her State election on Tues last. Dillingham, the Union candidate tbr Govern nor, was elected by a majority of 20,000, being a onion . gain of 5,000 votes ! The . Senate is unanimously Union! The House of Representatives Ibur fifths Union ! Vermont appears to be slightly radical. How about "my policy ?" This is but the commencement of the series of wholesale slaughters, by which the A ndrew Johnson doughface party will be completely ar. nihilated. - Delaware in Line!! WILMINGTON, Del., Sept.l.—At the city elec tion to:daY, Joshua S. Valentine, Union candi date for Mayor, and the whole Union ticket was elected by largely increased majorities! Republican Triumph in San Franciaco. A dispatch from. San Francisco, California, announces that a brilliant triumph WILS Achiev• ed by , the Republicans of that city at the muni pal election held on the sth inst. TILE main issue before the American people for their decision at the ballot-box is not, as the copperheads aver, the indefinite exclusion of the late'rebellious States from representation, but simply,whether they shall have gained pow er in the councils of the nation by the conduct of thepeople, or whether io be shorn of the pow er to do; evil in the future. If the President's policy ofimmediate admission ofrepresentatives without guarantees,is rejected by the people and disapproved by the policy of Congress,requiring guarantees before ndmission,is endorsed in the' elections; then the President must abandon his policy; and the States not vet represented, will, like Tennessee, "accept the situation," and be admitted, shorn of their power to do harm. MAXIMILIAN'S Mexican Empire has collaps ed. Max is dead broke. His wife was snub bed in Europe by every court she 'attended as a beggar ; and now Max himself is making forced loans in the various cities of Mexico, to enable hiur to return to Europe. PATRIOTS IN COUNCIL! The Southern Union men met at Philadel phia, on the 3rd inst., according to announce ment. Their reception by the brave and true sons of freedom was grand and imposing, and as creditable to the citizens of the great city that has grown around the sacred temple of Liberty, as it was well deserved by the fire -tried patriots of the South, ' whom no persecutions could swerve from their fidelity to the Union. Amid the darkness and perversity of rebel communi ties, which, in politics, are worse than proscrip tive paganism in religion, they have faithfully worshipped at a patriot altar, and planted the germs of an indestructible faith tha t must event ually triumph in the most benighted regions of our country. Their individual histories and sufferings warn us not only of the infamies of rebellion, but of the resolute efforts now being` made to brand every man who stood true td his obligations to the Constitution and the Union,with ignominy, and to demoralize public sentiment and corrupt, the minds and hearts of the people by practical ly asserting that treason is honorable, and that the sure mode of gaining control of this great nation is to encompass its ruin before the peo ple pass upon the questions of reconstructing the State Governments lately in rebellion, and the admission into Congress of men who have been fighting to destroy the country. They will hearken attentively to those who, surround- ed by traitors, with every opportunity, to know their objects and designs as well as their feel ings and characters for truth, honesty and jus tice, remained firm and true to the principles of liberty embodied in the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution, when they will disdain to remand back to rebel rule the fair do main preserved by the heroic valor of our ar mies. Large delegations from every Northern State were there to greet and confer with the South ern Union mem and their joint constitutions will invest their deliberations with momentous importance. No suppression of sentiments were allowed there. Every delegate had the privilege of ex pressing sentiMents upon the questions that arose, and exercised it too. The work was not performed by a committee previously organized and put through under the gag rule for the ex press purpose of cutting off debate, as was done in the late Johnson-Clymer—Cowan. cowardiy coneltsc. No hope of Executive favor or re. ward prompted those men to action,and no fear of persecution deterred them from uttering the great truths which must prevail and pervade the minds and hearts of the people of this coun try before they are prepared to govern and be governed aright, as decreed by the Ruler of the Universe. Their actions have been guided solely by their desires to see the people again uni•ed, not on the old dogma of Democracy which required the labor of a class to support the governing party in idleness and crime, but on the good old Democratic principle of equality before the law, and equal justice for all. The speeches made by the delegates from the South and the leading men from the Northern States, who visited the city on that occasion, breathed the true spirit of republican liberty and justice which, all will admit, should be the rid. objects of our lives. PRESIDENTN A RAMPAGE President and party have started omthe long contemplated visit to Chicago, to participate in in tit?, dedication of the monument erected to the memory of the great and good Douglass— oh, that he could rise front his grave and re view the acts and sayings of President John son lhr the past year i that his voice could again be heard expressing the sentiments of an honest, fearless, independent man, upon the character and conduct of the most degraded ex ecutive ollicer this country ever had.—Mr. A.. 1. would turn upon his heels and flee to the moun tains and call for the rocks to hide loin from from the faces of those he has already betrayed and those he contemplates betraying. Every manawho was a friend oft lint good nuns, Doug lass, and contributed toward the expenses of the monument must feel the insult and disgrace of having such a man participate in those ceremo nies, because he occupies the highest office in the gift of the people. The President has improved every opportu nity to enforce his policy upon the people, and inflict upon them a political harangue couched in the most vulgar and indecent language of the clan to which he belongs, filled with laudations of himself, and abuse of the representatives of the people, whose finances and honor have sav ed this country from anarchy and ruin. Not one word has he uttered on any occasion about the ostensible object of his journey, and whenever the name of Douglas has been men tioned in his presence, he• has always replied without referring to it, hut pressed upon. his . hearers a statement of his own troublei with. eongicis He appears to be particularly anxious to can• voice the people that what the professed De mocracy said of him at the time of his inaugu ration as Vice President, was well founded and that the same old drunk still continues. CLYMER'S ELECTION GIVEN IM.—The Har risburg telegraph reports a conversation held between ex-governor Bigler and a .citizen of Harrisburg, as the former was on his way to the Philadelphia convention. Bigler supposed that the Harrisburger was a copperhead, and at the close of the conversation he wispered to his ear, "Clymer is personally a very weak man, and politically vulnerable to the most damning attacks! He is a heavy load, sir. don't think we can elect him." Here is a truth divulged which the copper head leaders are careful to keep from the rank and file. It is clear the high priests of capper headism give up the election of Clymer. IPS, Johnson will remove the office-holders who are faithful to their principles and convic tions rather than subservient to his "policy.' The Courts may pronounce this unwarranted ; but meantime it will be done. Heads are fall ing by hundreds daily : let them fall ! The quicker and cleaner he makes his sweep, the better for the Radical cause. Each kicked out office-holder is worth to the Good Cause any two that are kept in. Let the hemlsinan shat•p en his axe,then,lay about him to his heart's con tent I "For the devil bath come among you having great wrath," says the Apocalypse, "be cause knoweth his time is short. THE HEBEL DEBT--The proceedings of the Philadelphia (14th August) Johnson Conven tion were received by rebel bond-holders in England with great joy. Confederate. bonds advanced rapidly in value. These men know very welbthat the success of Johnson's policy and the Northern Copperheads,ia the elections, would give the rebels again complete control of the Government. Let the American people take a lesson from this fact. The joy exhibit ed by these English holders of rebel bonds should Open the eyes of the people to the im pending danger. Saf'qhe splendid Union League House, on Broad street, Phila., which was the central point of interest and attraction during the tings of the great Union Convention was par tially destroyed by fire between 1 and 2 o'clock last Friday morning. The origin 011ie fire is not statc&—but there arc strong suspicions of incendiarism. ELECTIVE OFFICES.It is' said that the first efforts of Congress, upon re-assembling next winter, will be to make postmasiers in the, principal towns and cities elective by the peo ple. This measure has been agitated for many years by prominent men. The American peo.' ple have seen the danger of placing too, much power in the hands of one man, and we believe' that they will agitate for a thorough reform, so as to strip demagogues of the power'to do evil. WHY Nor ?-1f Alio cops. are sincere in de- Aring the payment of the National Debt and the repudiation of that of the Rebels, why not favor the amendment to the Constitution; now advocated by the Republicans, which will, when adopted put this question beyond dispute in all time to come ? Can anybody tell Tuts is the way candidates for office in Rich mond, Va., announce themselves: "Judge Crump, it is said, gave three .thousand dollars to the Confederacy. Mr. Gilmer gave four years of his life and risked the whole. Who gave most? Let the soldiers answer at the polls." There's reconstruction for you, pure and undefiled." focal Xtearil. 11 1 2.11Ilikig3 @V Ii'LKIM RAPIEDI t $2.50 per Year, or $2.00 if Paid Strictly in Advance.

OUR COUNTY FAln.—The annual Ag ricultural Exhibition for Lehigh county will be held on the grounds of the society on the 18th, 10th 20th and 21st days of September. We see no reason why this exhibition should not exceed that of last year, which as far as our knowledge extends was not surpassed by that of any o her herd in the State. The grain and vegetable productions this year are better than those of last, with the exception of peaches, which may be considered a fail ure, while improvements have boon made in various agricultural implements. Moro at tention is also given to the improvement of breeds of stcck Upon the whole, we may ex pect this Fair to be in advance of all former ones, in respect to variety, quantity and ex cellence of articles exhibited. 11)1 ladies have always taken an active part andWentrib uted largely in making our Fairs attractive by their beautiful and much admired contribu tions. We trust their ambitious spirits will not allow them to fall behind former years. Great improvements have been made on the Fair grounds, so that the accommodations will be all that the public could desire. DlErriNo.—Ou Saturday evening last the people of our town had the pleasure of listeningito two eloquent addressee on the l'ub lie Square, by Mr. Benedict, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Doane, of Connecticut. The remarks of Mr. Benedict were argumentative and to the points in issue before the people in the present contest, Mr. Deane entered more in to detail, and showed clearly frcra their own history that the Copperheads were and still aro the secret, treacherous Les of civil and religious liberty, that on all occasions since the commenement of the rebellion, they have chosen for their lenders, men who were either engaged in the rebellion with the rebels, or whose words and acts indicated the greatest amount of sympathy and willingness to assist them, provided they were not placed in dan ger of halls and bayonets. The little buzzard of the now scavenger party was prowling around in hopes of finding some filthy morsel for himself or pat ty, but ho had to go farther to have his wants grafi fied—Trealortown was the only place for him to fill his capacious maw with the peculiar material on which they feud. EIS ARE WE TO HAVE A STATE FAIR —Sev eral months ago we saw it announced that the Fair of the State Agricultural Booiety would beheld atEastan Bomb dike this fall. It has . 'been so long since that we:have forgotten the date. The officers Qf that exhibition should know that the season is growing late, and by reference to their records should ascertain the date and give the proper notice to the public, unless they desire to have the present exhi bition equal to the ono liel4l at the same place a few years:ago, when thu large bulk of the articles displayed consisted of the contents of Easton liquor stores, ale and porter establish ments, dry goods stores, boat horses, ono or two old cows, one pen each of ehi op and hogs, ono basket of cabbage heads in the basket ono half worn grain outter, brought in by a farmer for shelter under the sheds of the society.— The whole thing amounting to about a fifth rate county Fair in any other part of the State. , The only way to succeed with a Fair is to lot the people know when and whore it is to be held and the premiums paid and what for. Wo can truly say to the people of Lehigh county, who ,justly pride themselves on the success of their Fair, that by . going to Easton, they will be greatly disappointed., That hen the title of State prefixed to it, but a naked title without more is worthless, as their exhi• bitibn will prove, and wo advise you to stay at home and spend your time and money in pro paring for your own exhibition, which will, as it always has done, exceed any State Fair in the hands of the present managers. , We pity the people of Northampton county. who have been imposed upon by the direc tors of their Agricultural Society and forced to forego their own County exhibition, and permit such a worthless narrow-minded small , willed prejudiced sot to occupy their grounds and time, under the title of State Fair, to the injury of the agricultural and mechanical in terest of the county. GRAND RAFFLE.—The party falsely call ing themselves the "Democratic party," but whose true title should be, "Negro-screeching traitor-serving•treason-loving-lick spittlos,bav • ing traversed the county from and to end and visited every nook and corner with the 10 ot. per gill argument for the past three weeks, set ting their traps to catch delegates and secure the inside track, which, in some instances, caused bloody noses and broken heads among the members of that happy family, met at Trexlertown, on Saturday last, when the great farce, was finished by' compelling those who had already invested nearly all their means in in the aforesaid argument, to pay the dinners and other refreshment bill for the delegates, and a hundred other hangers-on who attend for the purpose of getting glorious at the ex pense of the lucky participants in the game. The successful candidates were, for • Prothonotary—E. Rehrig. Clerk of Orphans' Court—G. NV. Hartzell. Clerk of Quarter Seseions—J. E. Zimmer man. Register —S. R. Engleman. Associate Judges—James Fry and Jacob Erdman. Assembly—Jas. F. Kline, John H. Fogel. Commissioner—Daniel Focht. The balance of the ticket we did not hear in time to notice this week. The whole matter was arranged and con trolled as usual by the freundschalt who keep all the places that can be filled by any of their number. Of the legislative and court house ticket we have spoken bolero, and will only add that they ate all sound Breekinridge Democrats or anything else the leaders of the party choose, only so they are in office. The Associate Judges are not equal in nbil ty, qualifications, honesty or manliness to those of the Republicans, and, in fact, one of • them is no unsuitable person for the position. The office of County Commissioner is the most important of any, and their candidate is not qualified for the duties he will be called upon to perform. Re received the nornii,ation solely as a reward for hls adherence to the Davis Democratic dogma, that the South was right in getting up the rebellion, and his ef forts in resisting the draft and praising the the enemies of his country. Every loyal man should cast his vote against him. . It will be observed that not a soldier is on their ticket. Was it iroplesible to bud ono capable of fill ing one of their ffices ? Did not some of the delegates to the Clymer Convention at. Harris burg want a position, or were none of them fit—in their estimation? UNION COUNTY CON V ENTI ON.—The Union Men of this county, met at the Court House, in Allentown, on Saturday lust, and placed in nomination a ticket to he elected on the 9th of October next. The meeting was called to order, and F. J. More. Esq., chosen President, Dr. T. C. Yeager and T. V. Rhoads, as secretaries, one Vico Presid, nt from eau h election district was also chosen. On motion, it was resolved, that the delegates from each election district, select one of their number us a committee to recommend candidates to the convention, for their action. A coalmines of five was appointed to draft resolutions, during the absence of the commit tees, the convention had the pleasure of lis tening to eloquent addresses by Mr. Benedict, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Doane, of Connecti cut. The following resolutions were reported and unanimosuly adopted by the Union Bepulicans of Lehigh county, in muss conventicn assem bled. Be it Resolved, That the action of the radical por tion of tho present Congress, at its late session, meets with our hearty and unqualiti:•d appro val, and that OAP proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution, are wise, moderate, merciful and statesmeulike, and should be adopted by. the Legichttures of the several States. Resolved, That in General John W. Geary, tho Union candidate fur Governor, the people of the State Of Pennsylvania have presented for their suffrages a gallant and distinguished sot. dier, ea ardent patriot, and an accomplished civilian ; and that his assured election by nu overwhelming majority will be another of the many proofs of the firm and unfaltering deter mination of the old Keystone State to the per manency of the Federal Union as a party. Resolved, That we point with pride and pleasure to the gubernatorial career of Gov. Andrew 0 Curtin. Ever vigilant and active 'in caring for the wants of the soldier in the hospital and on the field; untiring in efforts to 'promote the welfare and prosperity of our Commonwealth, and never faltering in sup port of the Union in its trials, his fame has be come a part t.f the glory of the nation, as well as of our commonwealth. .Resolced, That hereafter the Union County mooting and County Nominating Convention he consolidated into one convention, to be held at Allentown. The fillowing resolution was offered by J. W. Mickley and adopted : Resolved, That hereafter each election dis trict in the county, on the day previous to the county convention, shall choose six persona as delegates to represent their districts in the con vention, for the purpose of selecting candidates to be voted for at the ensuing election.

Southern Union Convention ! The, Union men of the Southern States, met at Philadelphia on the 3d inst., they were re• calved by the citizens of the city and large delegatione of Union men from all the States, and escorted to Independence square, where appropriate and eloquent patriotic addressee were dolivored,and from there they proceeded to the Union League hall, where they were received and web, toed by the Unit) I men of the ration. they 'two 'clicked to Moitt•el Fund Hall, which had beim selectul lor p.eir deliberations, where they were weleunied by Charles OibbonH. Col. W. B. Stokes, of Ten• nesse°, called tho convention to order, and stated the objects for which they liar aseom• bled, and in doing so, said, "the question of the day before tho American people is, whoth or the loyal men of the country, those who fought and suffered to savo it and the flag, and who have prossved-olvil and religious liberty, shall rule the nation iihtt enj9y its honors, or whether those who have - \aimed at its over throw shall be allowed to rule !" Thomas J. Durant, of Louisiana, was chosen temporary Chairman, and on taking the chair delivered a beautiful appropriate and patriotic address, T. W. Conway, of LouisianaMeston. Flint, of Missouri, A. M. Crane, of Virginia, Judge Norman, of Tennessee, Albert Mace, of Maryland, and Mr. Butler, of Georgia, were ohosen temporary secretaries. The Rev. J. Walker Jackson, opened the convention with' prayer, after the appointment of committees the convention adjourned until next day. On assembling, lien. Jounce Speed, of Ken tucky, was chosen President, and one Vice President and one secretary from each of the Southern States. The Rev. John B. New man, of La.,- was chosen Chaplain. Mr. Speed, on taking the chair, made one of the most powerful and telling speeches that has yet appeared in print on the groat issues of the day, it should be rend by every man.— Committees on resolutions and address, were then appointed. Resolutions were offered and motions made, by a number of the delegates, and all had the chance to express their opin- ions freely and fully on every one of them, which was done generally, no gag rules were adopted, and not a man who presented the proper credentials, was kept out for fear he would say something to hurt the standing of the party or reveiil , the true of and de signs of the leaders, as was done at tho late Johnson pow vow, that might be accounted for by the fact that no man was there as a delegate that wanted office from the dispenser of patronage, or desired a pardon for acts committed in aid of treason or traitors, neither was there a man who had even wilfully violat ed his oath or his word of honor either. During the stay of the delegates in the city sentiments were freely interchanged with the true men of the North and every evening meetings were hold, and the leading questions discussed with great ability and candor. We have only room for the resolutions this week, but will try to give the addrees and extracts from the speeches in cur next : Resolved, That the loyal people of the South cordially unite with the people of the North ' in thanksgiving to Almighty Gud,•through whose will a rebellion unparalleled for its caueeleestiess, its cruelty and criminality has been overruled to the vindication of the su premacy of the federal Constitution over every State and Territory of the Republic. Resolved, That we demand now, as we have demanded at all times since the cessation of hostilities the restoration of the States in which welive to their old relations with the Union, on the simplest and fewest conditions consistent with the protection of our lives, property and political rights, now in jeopardy from the unquenched enmity of rebels lately in arms. Resolved, That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, is, in its effects upon tho loyal people of the South, unjust, oppressive anti intolera ble : and accordingly, however ardently we desire to see our respective States once more represented in the Congress of the nation, we would deplore their restoration on the inade quate conditions proseribed by the President, as tending not to abate, but only to maguity the perils and sorrows of our condition. Resolved, Thut with pride in the patriotism of Congress, with gratitude fur the fearless and persistent support they have given to the cause of loyalty, and their of to restore all the States to their fernier condition as States in the American Union, we will stand by the po sitions taken by them, and use all the means consistent with a peaceful and lawful course, to secure the ratification of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States,' as pro posed by Congress at its recent session, and regret that the Congress', in its wisdom, did not provide by law tor the greater security of the loyal people in the States not yet admitted to representation. Resolved, That the political power of the Government of the United States in the admin• istration of public affairs ' is, by its Constitu tion, confided to the popular or law-making de partment of the Government. Resolved, That the political status of the States lately in rebellion to the United States Government, and the rights of the people of such States, are political questions, and are therefore eletirly within the control of Con gress to the exclust.n uf the independent no tion of any and every other department of the Government. Resolved, That there is no right, political, legal, or constitutional, in any State, to secede or withdrair from the Union that they may, by wicked and unauthorized revolutions and force, sever the relations which they have sus tained to the Union ; and when they do so, and assume the attitude of public enemies at war with the United, States, they subject them selves to all the rules and principles of inter national law, and the laws which aro applica ble to belligerents, according to modern usage. Resolved, That wo are unalterably in favor of the Union of the States, and earnestly de sire the legal and speedy restoration of all the States to their proper Oleos in the Union and the establishment in each, of them of influen ces of patriotism and justice by which the whole nation shall be combined to carry tri umphantly forward the principles of freedom and progress, until all men of all races shall everywhere beneath the flag of our country have accorded to them freely all that their vir tues, intelligence, industry, patriotism and energy may entitle them to attain. Resolved, That the organization of the un represented States, assuming to bo State gtiv ernments, not having been legally established, are not legitimate governments until recogniz by Congress. Resolved, That tho welcome wo have receiv ed from the loyal citizens of Philadelphia, un der the roof of the time honored hall in which the Declaration of Independence was adopted, inspires us with an animating hope that the principles of just and equal government, which were made the foundation of the Republic at its origin, shall become the corner stone of re construction. Resolved, That we cherish with tender hearts the memory of the virtues, patriotism, sublime faith, upright Christian life and gen erous nature of the martyr President, Abra ham Lincoln. Resolved, That we aro in favor of universal liberty the world over, and feel the deepest sympathy with the oppressed peopleof all coun tries in their struggles for freedom and the in herent right °tall men to decide and control for themselves the character of the government under which they live. Resolved, That the lasting gratitude of the nation is duo the men who bore the hardships of the battle, and, in covering themselves with imperishable glory, have saved to the world its hope of free government ; and relying on the "invincible soldiers and sai!ors" who made the grand army and navy of the Republic to be truci,tio the principles for which they fought, we pledge them that wo will stand by them in maintaining the honor due the saviours of the nation, and in securing the fruits cf their vic tories. Resolved,' That, remembering with profound gratitude and love Wei precepts of Washing ton, we should accustom ourselves to consider the Union as the primary object of our patriot ic desire, which has heretofore sustained us with great power in our love of the. Uninn.— When so many of our neighbors in the South were waging war for its destruction, our deep and abiding love for the memory of the Father of his country and for tho Union is more deep ly engraven upon our hearts than over, The rending of the series of resolutions was frequently interrupted with cheers. • Allentown, July 14, 1866 "Darer nE Foomsn."—You can make Six Dollars from Fifty cents.
