John D. Bertolette made an Introductory speech, after which Dr. T. C. Yeager followed In a two hours' address. In the course of Mr. Bertolette's re marks he exposed some of the raacalltles which have made Alex McClure notorious. Ile said a prominent citizen of Mauch Chunk had at ono time received an appointment to ofliceat the hands of Governor Curtin. After the appointment was made he met McClure on the streets of Harris burg and Alex Bald to him "The appointment has been made and I made It." The gentleman ex pressed surtnl e and gratification, and Alex, con tinuing, and rubbing his thumbs and fingers to gether significantly, said "come down with the rocks !" We believe the sum demanded was $lOOO. The gentleman afterwards called upon the Gov ern-.r who said be made the appointment as are cognition of the fine character and public services of the citizen. " But," the citizen replied, "Alex McClure said he made it and wanted me to come down with the rocks !" "Do nothing of the kind," replied the Governor, " I made t t he ap pointment." And Alex McClure was preSented to the citizen in a new light. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, show ing that Carbon Is thoroughly organized and will give a good account of herself in October. This evening there will be a meeting at Nesquehoning, to-morrow evening at Lehighton and Saturday evening at Mauch Chunk. MURDER CONFESSED. —Many of our readers m ty remeniber Peter Snyder,(fitther of our towns man, Mr. lLsrrlsou Snyder,) who came to his death rather unexpectedly about twelve years ago. Mr. Snyder was a man who sometimes indulged to excess in strong drink, and ono morning some boys fishing at the Aquashicola crack, where it empties Into the Lehigh river above the Lehigh Gap, found Mr. Snyder's dead body where it had been rolled down amembankment among rocks and stones, and was much cut, torn and bloody. The relat.ven teak home the body and concluded that it Lust have received the etas 'and bruises from falling down the embankment among the Jagged rocks, and It was supposed M r. Snyder had fallen down this emnankineut, while intoxicated. No physician examined the body and It was in terred without any suspicions being aroused. Soon all forgot the circumstance save the friends of the deceased and his murderer. Lately a Ger man named Andrew Holtzer, who lived at Lizard Creek, in Carbon county, finding that ho wan about -to shuffle off the mortal coil, called. some friends to his bedside and confessed that he was the murderer of said Snyder. Ile stated that he and said Snyder had a quarrel some time before and that he had an 11l feeling towards Snyder until he found an oppor tunity of wreaking his vengeance upon him, which he did at this time. Ile stated further that he thoueht Snyder had considerable money about his pennon, which lie expected to obtain, and that he threw him down the embankment to lead people to believe he had fallen down and was killed there by ; he also stated that several of the cuts that were supposed to have been made by falling among the rocks, he had inflicted with a knife. Some of the members of the Snyder family have always had an Idea that there was some foul' play in the old man's death, but never were able to get any clue to the real cause of It until this confession was made.-6/afingfort • etch A COMIEBPONDENT writing from thin Valley has this to soy :—We are now In the Iron region of Pennsylvania„ and our attention Is called to the immense blast furnaces that we pass on our way up the Valley—huge, uncouth piles of masonry and iron, from whose tall ,tacks clouds of steam and jets of flame are belched forth from free that are never quenched and engines that never stand still, retuning, as it were, beacon lights of this iron age of progress, and to let surrounding nations know that our country is equal to all emergencies.

Plegahadds grandeur to the scene; the river and canal, the Lehigh Valley Railroad on one side of the river and the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad on the other, farnishes the variety. With the numerous advent, tges possessd by Mauch Chunk,—in sce nery, eihnate, hotels, people, nod being easy of access, i t ought to be crowded during the summer by tourists and pleasure-seekers.

GRAND REPUBLICAN DE MONSTRATION. ALLENTOWN A BLAZE OF GLORY Large Turn-oat from Allentown and Immense Delegation from Bethlehem. A Procession that Wins Plaudits from both Democrats and Republicans. • Eloquent Speeches on the Square. On Saturday evcnrng our citizens were treated ton grand torch-light procession, which for the tine effect and good order which prevailed Is a !acting credit to the Republican party. Shortly after seven o'clock the Clubs from the Second, Third, Fourth and Filth Wards proceeded to the Square and formed Into Bee. Preceded by the City Cornet Band and with drum corps accompa nying the Fourth and Fifth Ward Clubs, the line marched to th • First Ward, where the First Ward Club was drawn up In line. After marching to the Lehigh Valley Depot and countermarching to Hamilton street, the line was brought to a front and in a few minutes the train brought a delega tion from Bethlehem, numbering, all told, 642 men. The procession was then re-formed and marched in the following order:— City Cornet Band. First Ward Club. A beautiful banner and transparency was carried by this Club. Beenrpl Ward Club, with transparency. .Third Ward ulub, Carrying banner with ehromo portraits of Grant and Wilson and name of Club Drum Corps. Fourth Word Club, A beautiful banner was carried by this Club. On one side was a splendid pmt•alt of our next Governor, wlih the inscription—" Hart roil ft our Choice for Governor." Excelsior Rifles. Drum Corps. Filth Ward Clue. Transparency with name of Club and the inscrip tion Protection to Amw•rleau Industry. Drum Corps. Delegation from Bethlehem. h em hleheinCornet Band. Colored Club, BettLehem, Carrying transparency with the inscription Grant." Bethlehem Wide Awaken Delegation of .Prominent Citizens of Bethlehem and South Bethlehem. Drum Corps. Republican Club. of South Bethlehem The procession marched up Hamilton to Elev enth, countermarched to Seventh, up Seventh to Chew, countermarched to Centre Square and there dismissed. Along the whole route the pave ments were thronged w(:1 ladles and gentlemen and the tiring of Roman candies In the procession helped to Increase the effect. Considering the short time occupied in getting up the affair—a day and a half —it was an unusual success. In the delegation from Bethlehem, we noticed such staunch Republicans ag Cul. Fritz, of the Bethle hem Iron Company, Mr. Samuel Adams, the Sel fridges, Col. Luekenbach and other gentlemen of high standing. One pleasing feature was the presence of so many Irishmen In the line, who show that they vote with the party which stands by their interests. We are reliably Informed that there were upwards of a hundred turn in the Club from South Betli:ehem who voted for Seymour four years ago. The num ,, cr of men in the procession is estimated at over nine hundred, which Is very creditable for the Ilrst parade, and Is an evidence of the enthusiasm which prevails in this vicinity for the tried and true principles of the grand old Republican party, and betokens a glorious Boc a:on lu October and November. THE SPEECHES In frqutOf the spe .here stand there was,exclud lug those who took part In the parade, an audi ence of about thirteen hundred citizens, who dur ing the eVellQ gave the most marked and ab sorbed attention to the speakers, and were loud and enthusiastic in their applause. Frequent in terruptions occurred by the marching and coun termarching of the procession and the music of the bands,and the remarks of Mr. Doney of Mauch Chunk were cut short by the imperative necessity of his returning home by the 8.20 train. Gel]. Hancock and Mr. Wears endured with patience a feW Interruptions which in so Immense a de monstration could not be avoided. The addresses were all eloquent, logical and clear in the state ment of facts, and will be productive of great good to the cause of Republicanism In Allen town. The speakers were all introduced by Wm. Ainey, Esq., of this city. The first speaker of the evening was Mr. F. A. Honey, of Mauch chunk, who said in substance as follows : Ile was . a Democrat who had left the old organ ization, and was indeed a lonely man, away from the party with which he had always been Identi fied. Ile had been awakened one morning by a pinch from.old mother Democracy, and looking about the balls In which be had always been at home, he was surprised and chagrined to see em blazoned upon the walls ibscriptions with which he had not been familiar, and whose sentiment he could not endorse. Secession, State Rights, Slavery and Rebellion had become the mottoes and princi ples of his party, and all that he could do was. to Join another party whose principles were more in ecordance with h la conscience and noose of rlgh Ile would !support the man who whaled Jeff Davie, hot the man who balled hlm. Ile had been left by the Democratic party,he had not left It. The cam- paign of 1872 was full of weighty Interests. The charaet6r of candidates presented by the Republi can 'tarty was above auspickm of inefficiency or of dishonesty. The Democratics party had lett principle and were cow supporting lioraee Greeley with the sole object in view of " spoils," and it was the duty of every true citizen of.the Republic to stand by the party which had done the work in the past, and which bad advocated and established the measures for which the administration of Un coil) was now famous all over the world. If the advice of Horace Greeley bud been taken at the outbreak of the war, we would have been left, to day a broken and divided people. The speaker stated that hitherto he had hated Republicans, but at the same time he bad supported the war ; and now lie could not continue with the party who was supporting a man who detracted from the credit of the soldiers who fought during the rebellion and. who crushed It. Because Grant is no popular with the people, It is necessary for the opposition to re sort to all the vile and mean tricks known to de feat hint, but in the end it would not work. An he scanned the administration of Gen. Grant he saw some mistakes, but In the main every honest Republican or Democrat must admit that It had been for the general good and welfare of the peo ple both North and South. The astonishing, de monstration of the evening was an example and instance of the great success the, Republican party had achieved. Would Greeley . improve the situa tion ? There was no guarantee whatever that he would. What the Democrats wanted and expected from their support of Greeley, was good, fat ollices, and they already had hisguaranteo that if they elect him he would supply them with their cured of emoluments. In reference to the !Mato canvass and ticket, the speaker said that while he regarded G. R. Buckalew as a gentleman and Christian, be (Buckalew) had been Implicated In the worst of schemes to embarrass the operations of the government during the lastdaysof the war, and from what he had personally expressed in con , varsition with the speaker, IL was established be yond peradventure of doubt that he was not the fit man to occupy the Gubernatorial chair of a loyal State, as Pennsylvania showed herself al ways to he. Referring to State canvass the speak• er said that the duty of the hour was to be upend doing ; and the demonstration to•nlghtproved that Allentown was fulfilling hers. The next speaker, General A. M. Hancock, of Maryland, was Introduced and said :—The Repub. lican party was born in the Wilmot proviso, cra dled In the compromise of 1850, educated In the Kansas-Nebraska troubles, and graduated In the Senatorial canvass between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglass hi Illinois. The Republican party came Into power a party of principle, and through its whole career it had never deserted or failed in its high trust. IL has originated every onward march accomplished, and now a pretty set of renegades were Betting up the cry of Reform Ito the party that has always supported them. Lyman Trumbull and Carl Schurz had during Grant's administration recommended theappoint meat of more dishonest men to office than any body else In the whole land except Horace Gree ley. J. F. Bailey, a defaulter in the Internal Rev enue Department In New York, was one of Gree ley's appointees. Greeley b/d been cheated out of $l5OOO by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who sub bequoutly tatted.

Referring to State politics the speaker that his pockets aro not picked. The position of said that Chas. R. Buckalew had d during the the colored people of this country was peculiar, war against every measure for Its support or for and they understood It, and would continue to re• the benefit of the soldier. When Abraham Lin- gard the Republic in party In the light of a great coin was elected President he bad no intention or tree, In whose ample shade the black people had idea that the country was about to get rid of slav- found protection and shelter, and they now said to cry. He believed that slavery was a foul blot upon wood-chopper Greeley " Spare that tree : don't you lop off a sin is br neb, for we love every one the fair escutcheon of the land and It was the Re o publican party that educated him into the way of them." The black race having been deprived which ended in the Emancipation Proclamation, of everything else, us alw ys understood and ap. predated liberty better than thew:lite race, which whereby the country was relieved of that stain.

And the negro never doubted but that through the whet. it was proposed that these uegroeti, grateful war he would gain hie freedom, and was further for their liberties, should be given arms, a howl ahead In his understanding of events than that went up trout the Democracy of the North, that mighty scholar and statesman. Look at the the country was reduced to ouch straits fur Its de- history of the Republican party and tell why the lance. how the negroes were citizens, endowed negro should not support it. They say Grant is with all the civil and political privileges not a statesman, but he certainly has been wise this nation has to bestow. This has all been does and successful in his protection of the blacks, and through the agency of the Republican party. For said to Congress when the K. K. K. whore whip ping and shooting one arm, d and orippled negroes. more than fifty years the Democrats have not ac complished, as a party, anything that has resulted „ Give mo a law to stop this thing ; I'll attend to In the country'is ultimate good ; and although the these fellows," and' he did.

For over forty years two divisions of an But a muzzled dog is still a dog. And If he bit Island, Hayti and St. Domingo, have been battling before he had his muzzle put on, he'll bite again as soon as it's taken off. There's a nigger in the for the supremacy. Both nations are made Up of colored people, but It has thus far been Impossible wood-pile somewhere, and the Democratic leaders want to get their hands on his throat. There were for them to agree upon a single government. Baez, President of St. Domingo, saw that unless two sorts of abolitionists before the war—one who b the aid of the United States was called in, event- believed the negro ought to be free, and the other ually the island would be taken possession of by who determined he must bo free. Of the former some other power, on account of its excellent her- class were Horace Greeley and some others, and bur advantages. He Bent an agent to this country of the latter were Wendell Philips, Wm. Lloyd whom Grant tookno notice of. lie sent another,Garrison and John Brown. Mr. Sumner also be and Grant saw that according to our decia,elonged to the latter class and had always been a i man of honor, but why do not ho and Schurz and policy taken from the Monroe doctrine the 'Jolted States could never allow another power to obtain Trumbull and Doolittle, who have left theßepubil c a foothold there, and be thought the best way to can party, take the honorable course of Hannibal prevent trouble was for this country to accept the Hamlin when he came over to us from the lemo. crate andgave up his appointer:tont on a committee proposition of Bees and annex the Island at once by purchase. A commission was sent to of the Senate, and also his seat in that body, be the Island and reported favorably. The matte cause he could not honorably fulfill his duty in a position given him by one party when he was acts came before the Congress of the country and was leg leg with another. The speaker then referred to defeated. Grant had done what he thought was Santo Domingo and approved the President's ac. best for the nation, iubmitted the matter to the lion in that matter. He said that slavery wan decision of Congresa,and dropped it. Now Chas. never an Institution but a bad practice, supported Sumner, because his advice had not been asked, by law. He congratulated the Republicans on and because he was already angry with Grant for their grand 'meeting, and concluded his remarks. a remark that Grant had made to the effect that " Sumner did not believe in the Bible because he had not written it," opposed with bitterntsa and by every fair or unfair means In his power this project; and his personal hatred of Grant Increas ed every day while the subject was under consid :ration. This was the start of the Liberal move ment. Next Carl Schurz was induced to join Sumner. Schurz, whose appointment by Lincoln as a General in our army proved him to be a corn-' 1 plete failure as a soldier, and he was accredited ' an our Minister to Spain In order toget rid of him. lie was gone six months, during which time he drew $12,000,th0 pay for twelve months, instead of $6,000 which he bad earned. Carl Schurz bus never paid this money back, and he stands Indebt debted to the Government In the sum of $6,000 to day. Next Lyman Trumbull had a drunken and worthless ton whom he wanted appointed to an office of Importance, and Grant refused to comply with the request because of his Incompetency and bad character. Trumbull said to Grant that if ho refused to make the appointment he would "crush him" ; Trumbull would, whom the New York Tribune charged with having spld himself to the friends of Johnson at the time of the Impeach ment Trial.

But the most impudent pup in the kennel Is Judson KJ:- patriek, of cavalry fame,who was appointed Min ister to Peru and took with him a disreputable woman, whom he tried to force Into recognition by Peruvian society, one of the most refined and highly cultivated societies In the world. For this flagrant and outrageous conduct he was recalled, but for the sake of his standing as a General In our artny and out of regard to his family's peace of mind, them facts were not made public. Gen. laacock then atnted that the first more of the Liberals was to ask for an Investigating commit tee into the management of the New York Custom House tiff are. Schurz moved the committee's ap pointment, end was allowed to be present and examine witnesses dating the whole trial, as was most unusual in Investigations Into government Minim. The speaker then traced - the workings of the Liberal plan down through the Investigations into naval affairs, the French arms' sales, the re fusal of Congress to allow the payment of Cbor peulug's claim, which was a just claim if ever there was one, and the complete exoutiration'of the administration from any malfeasance or any complicity with fraud. He referred to thp origin 01 the Cluclunati platform, originated by Frank Blair, Carl Schurz and others who wont. to Cie cineati without a constituency and left without a principle.' The Democrats under promises from Greeley, nominated him at Baltimore and set up a tidal wave which was to sweep the Whole country, but began and subsided in North Carolina. •The speaker closed with a refutation of the charges of nepotism made against Grant, and a mice of Greeley's' going to Niagara and consorting with Saunders, Holcomb, Clement C. Clay andother scarups and traitors. "Grant never was beaten and never will be." Mr. Isaac C. Wears, of Philadelphia, a colored gentleman, was introduced. and made a forcible and eloquent address, which was listened to throughout with close attention. He said that the field had been so fully gone over by the two pre vious speakers that ho hardly knew, where to be gin, but be would present a few thoughts around which the reflections of his hearers might revolve. We must regard ourselves In the light of an army approaching another army and must lay hold of every available means to secure victory. Hu would not IndulgO in any personal abuse and was not hero for that purpose, but to show that the Republican party In the suppression of State Rights only carried out the spirit of our forefath ers,and to establish his argument the Constitution was quoted and commented on, where it says that "In the course of human events * * * " a people, not a State, may set up Independence. A pre vious speaker bad referred to Charles R. Bucka law as a Christian and gentleman. He would ad mit him to be a gentleman, but a christian he could not be when the whole influence of his pub lic life had been to oppose the abolition . and en frauchlisement of the negro race in America. They say Horace Greeley has not promised to pay the rebel soldiers penilons. But what can be made out of his remark when be travelled through the south the last time, when he said I hope the day may come when.Stonewall"Jackson, Lee and the other Confederate generals will stand In the same position before the world as do our own gen erals !" Goes he mean to show these big fellows favors and do nothing for the crippled private? The conclusion Is that If the confederate generals are put oa the same footing with ours, the same thing must be lone with the privates. Charles Sumner was a great man, and had done well by the colored race, but he had written a letter to the colored people relative to their support of Grant or Greeley, the sentiments of which every uegro should despise. He says Greeley began life with Industry and a character ; Grant with a comet's sten In the army. Does the great Senator mean to assert that Grant began without industry and character? That is the only Inference wo can draw frcm his remark, and If he entertains a be lief of that kind ho is untrue to himself. Sumner • Radical Republicanism, Wednesday Night at Catasanqua. The 1200 people who Wednesday night as sembled at Catasauqua, in front of the Pennsylvania' Hotel, to hear a number of addresses in favor of the re-election of Gen eral Grant and the election of General Hartman, exceeded in size, Intelligence and In character,any political gathering in that borough since the first campaign of Lincoln,ln 1861. 18Ix hundredßepub- Reims attended from this city, and although they were unable to appear in nnifcrm and with torches, presented a creditable and orderly Ille,and reflected honor upon the various ward organizations to which they belonged. At the Catasauqua depot the Catasauqua Club, to the number of about two hundred and fifty, received and escorted the Allentown delegation over a parade route to the place of meeting. Thu Interest of the whole of Catasauqua, including the members of both po litical parties, was excited, and every Republican surveyed with hopeful pride the unexpected de monstration which Oiled the entire street In front of the speaker's stand, and extended on either side a great distance. Addresses were delivered by General Albright, Gen. Hancock, of Maryland and D. B. Wood, of Allentown. Geri. Hancock's address was an ex haustive review of the financial management of the present administration,comparing its economy and faithful collection of the revenue, with the frolligacy and recklessness which characterized President Johnson's Administration, who after the Spring of 1866, filled the °Oleos of the Government with Democrats, and therefore his rule was a fair example of what we have a right to expect If the Democrats are again restored to power. The In crease of Indebtedness, the frightful increase in expense and the barefaced robbery by the Demo cratic party in Kentucky, Maryland and New York City were also quoted to show how the Na tional treasury would suffer if the Democracy were given the reins of power. Gen. Albright reviewed the opposition of the Democratic party to every Republican measure adopted from 1861 to the present day, and how step by step each Issue was opposed by that party and successively pronounced good and then adopted. Two years ago, negro suffrage was bad, unconstitutional, etc., but to-day It is all right and the Democtatic party bide for negro voters for their " nigger-worshipping" candi date. The music; furnished from this city by the City Cornet Band, was generally admired, and we took great pleasure lu hearing the many compliments bestowed by the people of Catasauqua upon their proficiency in organization and music. LONG BEARD.—Daniel Freeze, residing near Steil:mine, bas a beard four feet Woo Inches long. MEETING ,her FIGEGENBVILLE.—The Repub. Beans will hold.a meeting at Friedeneville, next Saturday evening.

Hancock of Maryland and Gen. Albright of Manch Chunk, who made stirring speeches for Grant, Wilson et, flarlranft. Gen. Hancock treated the Issues of the campaign at length but Gen. Albright was obliged to be brief in order to take the up train home. In Slatlngton it is evident the Republi cane aro up and doing, for this large meeting wee gathered from notice given two days previous ; and when the time comes In October and" Nove mber for the people to fire their guns at the ballot box, this thriving and enterprising borough will poll a heavy vote for the whole ticket. It is most satisfactory to contemplate the vigor with which our friends go Into the details and labor of this campaign, and to witness the large outpour ing-of people at every Republican meeting called ; and It is evident now that the people are deter. mined to keep this country out of the hands of Horace Greeley and his Democratic friends.

Editor: The Liberal Republican and Dem ocratic meeting held at Catasauqua last evening, was decidedly the smallest affair that I think was ever held In any place, representing as large a pobulation as that place does. (There might have been one hundred and fifty persons present.) The first speaker introduced was J. Winslow Woods whcr speech lasted but at few minutes, but his voice was so weak, (and talking to a weak part, made it weaker still,) that I am satisfied that nos half of the "small crowd" heard what he said,and he certainly did not make any votes for Greeley• The next speaker was Robt. Wright, Jr., who is . "chip of the old block," and of course bad nothir good to say about Grant's administration, but Os • lug credit at the same time to the Republica party for the great good it accomplished in abr '- lehing slavery and carrying the war successful.; through to the end, &c. But the richest thing at the evening was about the Introducing of Ca; t. Luckenbacb, of Allentown. who happened to be' the "small crowd" and wanted to "speak apiece.' A certain Mr. L. (whom the editor of the Allen town Democrat told its readers a few weeks a had left the Republican party and joined the Det..- ocrats,) took him to one side (I mean the Cap' ) to consult him in regard to introducing hi Mr. L. wanted to introduce him as Captain, t• longing to a certain regiment during the war, r at the same time mentioned something about • sorehead the Cunt:max had made mention torso, • time ago, but the Captain thought the word r Bier would not take well among the crowd, so I.c did not like it much ; but it was finally decid ' that Mr. L. might introduce him as be pleas.. the Captain telling him that be would "give It •.. them." But his "piece" did not take as well he thought It would, and wo would advise t Captain to appropriate the "goat story" be us to tell in his "loyal days" to himself. A caret , ' Colonel H. took his regular beat around tic "small crowd" in order to signal them when II were to "clap their hands," and I assure you,D. Editor,that had It not been for the excellent mus furnished by the City Cornet Band, the crov would have been much smaller than it wee. August 21, 1672. A LIBTZNER. glarriallet3.
