A j Cdicea k Feierson, 313 Wahnt .!-; VYitbia the last'few weeks we have' con versed with gnite a norober of onr returned soldiers, and find them, pretty generally, tally understanding the great issne in this -campsign. It is bot a day or two since we fell in the company with three young men of this place and vicinity, who, when they entered the army, were ardent supporters of all the principle! and measures of the present party in power, bat at present de clare (heir inientions to no longer be identi fied with that party. They went into the array to fight for the UoiorTand re-etablih the lawa, and not to hazard their lives for tbe liberation of that black race ao ranch worshipped end idolized by oar Abolition friends. Tbe war had continued but a short time when they were told by the authori ties in words and actions that the war was waged more for the emancipation and free dom of the negro rtiaa for the restoration of the Union. It was tbea that oar brave boya found that they were deceived that they were undergoing all tbe deprivations, suf ferings and hardships incident to war, for a purpose other (ban that for which they bad enlisted. This, with many other things wfciob we -could here attention, has caused to a Dy -of the eoldiers, who were fiepubt-i- aos when they entered the array to return Democrats. Tbe Abolition party, oet con tent with the freedom of the negro, tell os ihat tbe African gentleman of American descent most and shall have a vote ; rhat yoo, soldiers, fought to liberate tbem, that ffeey (tbe blacks) are your equal now. and are justly entitled to the right of sofTrase. Tbey can't place tbe negro on an eqnality wi'h tbe white man however anch they may try, but they can degrade the white people by forcing tfeewi to the level witb the African. Tbe Democracy are opposed to ibis and always have been. All young men wishing to join the white man's party, the true, constitutional, Union party, will do well to tie fast to the Democracy. Xrs. Jefftr.Mii BafU lalf rating Incident The Augusta Constitutionalist says: A clerical friend of oora in passing through one of our streets a few days since, to per form a ministerial dutyattending to the sick and wounded in the hospitals, encoun tered a stranger who accosted him thus : "My friend, can you tell me if Mrs. Jeff Davis is in tbe city of Augusta V "No, sir' replied our friend, "she is tot." Well, sir," replied the stranger, "you may be surprised at ray asking such a ques tion ; and more particularly so when I in form yoo that I am a discharged United S'atea soldier. But (and here he evinced great feeling) sir, that lady has performed acts of kindness to me which I can never forget. . When serving in the Valley'of Vir ginia, battling for tbe Union, I received a severe and dangerous wound. At the same time I was taken prisoner, and conveyed to Richmond, where I received such kindness and attention from Mrs. Davis that I can never forget her ; and 'now that I am dis charged from tbe army, and at work in this city, and understanding that that lady was here, I wished to call npon her, renew my expressions of gratitude to her, and offer to share with ter, should she onlortunately need-it, the last cent I have in the world !' Without Candidates. Tbe Harrieborg Telegraph of the 21st nit., in noticing the nominee of the Republican Slate Conven tion, says; 'We have two soldiers for candidates i the one a War Democrat and the other an Old Line Whig." And has it come to this that the once mighty Republican party has become so poor in available material that it can find none of its own kith and kin" to put for ward for a State office? Must it go beg ging into the Democratic ranks, and even travel among the dry bones of defunct Wbiggery, to find men whom it can trust for leaders ? Only think of it a War Dem ocrat and an Old Line Whig as the standard bearers of the great Republican party of Pennsylvania! Everybody knows that tbe Shoddyites have sank low enough in character and rep otation ; bat we hardly expected them to be candid enough lo admit it, as they have done by nominating' men for office who never bore their n&ine or es poused their principle. Poor Shoddy ! Without a candidate that it can call its own! Reading Gazette. Akdt Johnson akdthk John Brown Woh SBiPcas.

Extract from the Address of the Democratic State Central -Committee. Aside from these great cardinal doctrines, the kDpremacy of the. law and the inviola bility of the fundamental principles of free government, there is no subject more closely allied with the preservation of oar form of government and the protection of oar lib erties, than that of the relationa of the Slates to tbe Federal Government. Both were ereat-ed for the berefitof the people, and within the spheres of power granted or reserved to each, each is supreme. The MiHion of the citizen to the Fed eral Government wirh'm tbe scope of the powers gramed to it te binding and impera tive, and no one can absolve bim from bis doty thereto. So, also, tbe power of the States over those matters notexpresaly ratt ed to tbe Federal Government or reserved to the people, is equally clear, and the duty of the citizen thereto is equaHy imperative and binding. Upon the one aiatd, in their attempt to interfere with tbe powers grant ed to the Federal Government by the peo ple, all ordinancea of secession being t- terly void, and the insurrection being sop pressed, the States resume their place in the Union and the penalties incurred fall upon tbe individuals engagedin the rebellion. So too upon tbe efher hand it is the tight of each Slate to determine for itself the qaali fjcaiious of its electors wioat interference by other States or by the Federal Govern ment. Such is the docrrine of the Democ racy, and such appears to be the policy of the President, and yet, sectional prejudice tbe love of gain, increasing wrath and deeply marked political purposes, seriously obstruct the process of reconstruction and reconcil iation ; and they who should be foremost in attempting to restore the harmonious onily of the nation are loudest in denunciation and most zealous in pnrsnit of a conquered foe. As between rfce Federal Government and the States in which tbe people have been in rebellion against its authority, the only issue during the war was bow should be tbe restoration of that authority. The tread of no hostile soldier-' presses the soil of one of them .now. In no one of them is there aeght of objection now to the ai sessment and collection of Federal taxes, 10 the creation of Federal cn-tom hou?s, courts and poet office, or to the peaceful transit of munitions of war and troip. The wonderful exhibition of a devastated coun try, of defeated armies, of a humiliated people and of emancipated slaves, ought to be sofUcient to arouse the sympathies and engage tbe purest devotion of tbe Christian and the Statesman ; but unconcerned at the 'condition of the white people of the States, desirous only to perpetuate their politi cal power regardless of the vital inter ests of six millions of their own race, and of the importance of their rebabilita lion in tbe Union, the leaders of the Re publican party, as a condition precedent to their restoration and to the release of the reign of military authority over a conqnered and submissive people, demand that the negro shall be placed upon a political equal ity with tbe white man. and they insist np on the use of the arm of the Federal Gov ernment to effect it, and are moving for an. amendment of tbe Federal Constitution lo perpetuate it. Such a practical interference woald be a palpable infraction of the Constitution, a ros and unauthorized increase of central power, and a wanton overthrow of the rights of the States. This doctrine gives to tbe I -i Ik 4 I .... ,k. ,:.ki ;n I prescribing the qualifications and color of the voter in North Carolina, and in practice will give to tbe black man tbe control of the great States of Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, and will send six black men to the Senate of the United Stales. This in all its breadth and with a full un derstanding of its results, is the doctrine of the Republican party of Pennsylvania, for tbe 4th resolution adopted by the Republi can State Convention, held at Harrisborg, on the 17th of August, J865, distinctly so aserts. It is as follows : Resolved, That, having conquered the re bellions Mates, they stiooiil be held in sub jaga'ion, and the treatment tbey are to re ceive, and the laws which are to govern them, should be referred to the law-making power of '.he nation, to which tbey legiti mately belong. ' With ihib doctrine we take distinct issue. The Siates of the South are in the Union, and tbe people thereof, except those on whomjhe penalties for rebellion fall are en titled to all their political privileges, and we affirm that ihese Slates are entitled to all ibe reserved rights of the. States under the Federal Constitution, and within the sphere of these reserved rights, they, and they alone have the power to make and unmake the laws that are to govern them. A Thx poor man that wishes to pay a portion-o.' the taxes of the rich one that would enslave himself to bmld op a bond arisioc racy will vote tbe abolition ticket- There is not an abolition journal or an aboli ion toady in the State but is opposed to taling government bonds, and the laboring clae can rest assured, that if thai party succeed-? the rich man's weaiiii will osar no share of our public expense. m Thc N.

'' 'Jeewurty jrons in thejlrt)' ft ismstorrish-ing to contemplate ibe sweep of speculation and desire to make money, as it rolls all-over oar country, and carries along with it all classes of the citizens of this vast Republic Speculation in lands, speculation in bonds and stocks of all kinds Government, Bank, Railroad, Pe troleum, fee. &c. Speculation in goods of all descriptions. Speculation in gold, in silver iu fact, in everything, real and per sonal dead and alive moveable and un flioveable necessary and luxury. It is surprising, that in the midst of these spec ulations, one, within the reach of every body, and loli of prorni-e to thoe who may engage m it, has aim out entirely es caped the attention of the public. This speculation is tbe simplifying of trade and tabor, and concentrat'mti attention and en ergy on some one particular thing or pur suit. "Too many irons in the fire," is a com mon saying, nevertheless little regarded in practice. And yet h is one of universal ap plication. In a well settled and well regu lated community, yon may apply it to al most very pursuit and vocation. To agri culture -to manufacture to trade. To Agriculture. The way things are done now, every farmer triesto hv independent of all other fawners, and far as possible, of all the resi of iriankiml He raises his own brei-.l. meal, and cloirung to a certain extent. He raises all the various kind of grain, roots, horses, caule, hotis, sheen. poultry, flax, sorghum, grapes &c. &c, and thei-e ibngs, not only ior himself but for others. -Now suppose these men were to adopt a different course, and were to give particu lar attention to someone of the above men tiotved articles, not indeed to the utter ex clusion of all others, but to make it his pe culiar care and study, what would be the result ! We should be greatly benefited all around. We should raise these peculiar, thm?s in a . much greater perfection, and those applying themselves to them, making ten dollars where they now make one. We should have better horses, better live stock of every kind, better grain and greater abundance of it. There would be a better living, and fortnrres would grow mucli more rapidly among farmers than they do now. Smthern Good Failh. President John-ori, in hi ft remarkable ppeech, confirmed envre'y what we aaid scat a tld3 ar atoal lLa manufactured sto ries in partisan newspaper designed to convey the impreo.oion that the South was not acting in good laiih, and had no inten tion to remain peaceable. Tbe President said be had seen such statements in some papers, and did not believe a word of ihem. His information is wholly to the contrary, and be believes tbe statement ro be lalse. Tbe truth is that a great many Northern men have gotten to practicing the very bad plan of calling every one a traitor or a rebel who does not agree with their notions. Thos we see Mr. Thaddeus Stevens insist ing that all who do not adopt his ultra ideas about confiscation and puuishraent at the Sooth, shall "go with copperheads and reb els," and it is exceedingly amusing to see bow some of his late allies writhe under this denunciation. Because tbey do not find Southern people absolotely.auxioos lor negro equality, negro suffrage, arid amalga mstion,tbese Northern men of "progressive ideas", insist that ihe Soo'h is still rebel lions. When they find that tbe Southern people are going to vote against negro equality, they insist that this anti-negro vo ting is equivalent lo disonionism and trea en. All this is pure nonsense, and would be ridiculoos if it were not apt to be a seri ous matter in misleading the ignorant. The truth is abundantly plain lhat ihe Sooth is heartily anxious to prove its good faith now in sustaining Ihe Union, and no part ol the land is to be found more thoroughly deter mined to stand firm under the Constitution. The President announces his intention to withdraw the troops Irom the South as rap idly as possible, and to leave the adjatruerit of local affairs to the authority which, by the American system of government, ought to regulate those affairs, to wit, the people of the several States. He is emphatic in ex pressing bis confidence in lhat authority, and bis own determination io resist the idea of a centralization of power, which woold convert Our government into a depotism. In tbei-e views be will be sustained by the wiset and best men of the country. The opposi'.ion of Messrs. S even and Sumner, and others of ibat class, will lead the friends ol the Constitution to stand more firmly by it, and will in all probability result in mak ing the constitotional party stronger than ever. Tbe principles and plans of the op ponents of tbe President, led by Steeiis,are simple disonionism, of the old-la-hioned Southern sort, under an older fashioned guise, such, indeed, as it once were in New England, where it threatened to divide the nation long ago.

Fzttow Citizcns : The Democratic Stand ing Committee of Colombia county embraces tbe earliest opportunity to nrge yon to the reaWnd effective support of the govern ment, both in spirit and in form. This has always been the object, the duty and the business of tbe Democracy. They are now, in rrre than -ever, under rtiis -unquestionable end serious obligation. At no lime in the hitoTy of out country at no time in the history ol men to whom liberty was a bhfh right has this duty been tnoTe rm per stive than now. The Democracy aTe now, and ever have been, the true Triendsof a Tree republican system ol government, establish ing, recognizing and guaranteeing the very bulwark of freedom ; and in day, . as ever, we find them stationed on the foundation and true principles of our government, de- tercoioed to defend and protect our. rights; and liberties against all assaults. Their government fs'tfiat of the Federal Constitu tion, and it deserves and receives the un qualified regard and veneration of all but those wtioire minds are perverted by a fanat ical and roinous theory. On it we stand. On its immortal principle we place our selves, and appeal lo tbe native justice of ifre human heart. We appeal to the in stincts ol human reason. We appeal to the plain, honest people of Colombia county, whose honest hands earn their daily bread, whose wearing apparel is not 'pirrple and fine linen, loaded with pearls and flashing with diadems, purchased by the blood and tears of millions. To yoo, in yoor cottage homes, solemnized, perhaps, by the death of a soldier son, we make this earnesi invo cation. We are emerging from the convul sions of a war, which has shattered and lorn, not only the edifice, but the very foundation of American ftberty and civilized jurispru dence. - The signs of the times are important; they are to be calculated with unerring certainty. The urgency- and rrecesshy of improving every opportunity is palpable and impera tive, if we would stay a nation's headlong progress to rein and save it from impending destruction. The coming event, upon the proper result of which so much depend, is of Course the great contest so near at hand; to wit ; The will of the people, expressed at the liillot-box. Fellow Citizens, do not slumber because the public offices of Colombia county can be filled by good and honest men without your utmost efforts. We have a duty be yond this to perform. It is for us, with our co-laborers in other counties of the State, to say whether the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall now be redeemed and with it the whole Nation restoied to its former greatness and glory. From the coming election we pass to the highly important Gubernatorial campaign, and, as Pennsylvania is ihe Keystone in the Federal Arch, it is ind jsjnsably necessary that tbe coming State contest shall not only secure the election of our noble, true and brave candidates, bat that it shall make an index favorable to the future welfare and prosperity of our common country. We know lhat the reported results of ihe elec tions in 1863-64 do not express ihe free opinion of the citizens of this State. We know, too, that means were used to secure votes for our opponents, which were neither sanctioned nor justified by law or morality. Force and money were their chosen agents of power, and both were used without scru ple. They did receive a few thousand ma jority of votes, as officially announced, but we believe they never diJ receive the free, unbonght suffrages of a majoritv of the cil izens either of this State or of the United Slates. Without wishing to dictate, we only sug gest to the people of Columbia county that prudence, patriotism and stern devotion to the principles of our Revolutionary fathers, onfatiering determination to sopport and maintain every constitutional right, which belongs to the people, is the duty of every troe lover of his country. We honestly in- I vite the people to a calm consideration of their present condition and duties. By the dishonest leaders, and lying organs of our opponents, thoosand of honest men have been lulled and deluded into the belief thai the war was a necessity ; that national hu man butchery was inevitable; that the tongue and pen mutt be kept silent ; and that all who expre-sed themselves differ ently gave "aid and comfort to rebels". Not satisfied with this, tbey now tell yon thai the Negro is equal to the white man ; that a public debt is a "public blesstnz ;" lhat the facts and costs of their party shall not be known; that the burthen upon the people which they are carrying, and are yet to car ry, shall not be measured. The real facts oiost not be known. Bat, Fellow Citizens, the facts are out, and wi ak yon, who have been deceived, i- t.ip and think Do )OU not see that no nation tinder heaven ever had such a back breaking load so rapidly and so needlessly pi e.luponit? Blunders in every depart merit of 'he Government, theft, cheating, murder, willul and &ross carelessness, from members of Ihe cabinet at the Capital down to army captain, all of Aboli ion proclivi ties, have been engaged in spoliation and death, not of tbe enemy but of their own people and government. ' Let tbe tax-ridden laborer remember that in Europe the des potic rolers were more merciful in shack ling their poor subjects; they did it grad ually, while here more than twenty millions of people are saddled with burthen, of weight enough to crosh them lo the earth, ere the echoes of their congratulations "that under Democratic rale they were tbe freest and least taxed people npon tbe arlh," have scarce passed away. Like the fa'ed ship, in the waters nf Ni agara, we are hourly being carried nearer and nearer tbe spot where we shall take tbe fatal plunge over tbe precipice, and ibat pplendid fabrip, (he American Government, with jtf once high credit, its great commer cial strength, its political renown,. its real freedom, it heaven born principles, will be H ? 1 1 1 red to piec es. 1 1 is not th e war, which we have paed through, which will or can ruin us ; it is not the debt alone, vast as it 'is ; not the laxes, huge as tbey are, which wi!l bear as down, bat it is the miserable old 'eriemies of the Democratic party, the imbeciles who are attempting and seem de termined to govern, at Washington w'nh their ungodly theories, their objectionable financial system, their detestable rag cur rency which will leave as mere wreck. Tb-ey attempt to monopolize business, to centralize power, to establish an aristocra cy, to eqoahze tbe races, to elander the treasury, forgetting that the wives and chil dren of ihe sacrificed soldiers are crying for bread. Shall "we Witness th-fese things and stand mote? Shall we slumber at ear posts, lulled by ihe syren song of false security, omil we awake to find the chains and man acles forged and faaferfed op on us Where in all the history of ihe :past'; where, ia whm age, sand in wha clime, have the ro in of a conrtitoticmal treedora been Yenew ed ? Has the dead corpse of a Republic ever beer, raised? Hiwry answers, No! Then, shall we wrap ourselves in sweet de lusion, when we know that the wind is about to carry a over the precipice into ihe deep golf below ? Shall it be said that the proud and daring people of America closed their eyes and ears against the teach ings ol ages, and permitted themselves to be chained to the rock lor the vultures ol despotism lo feed forever upon their bleed ing "vitals? Shall Ihe universal experience ol mankind bring, us no wisdom? Shall we stand around the death bed upon which our liberties at present lie, and not apply a remedy ? Shall we disregard the evidences existing on every side, that the party in power aTe attempting the overthrow of our Government? Shall it be said that we, ol Colnmbia county, have forgotten Seward's "little be!i':? Shall the inhabitants of ibis county ever forget the "Political raid" ol Cad walnder and his thousand men, and the infamy of their reign in our midst? Shall we ever forget the illegal arrest, trial and imprisonment ol forty of our innocent citi zens by a poor, crawling and despised syc ophant of executive despotism ? Shall we neglect f5 secure the principles for which we have drunk wormwood and gall on the cross of Liberty ? The most inr ocent conduct, a harmless word, a nmple look, the friendly greetings of neighbors, and evei silence, all have been declared conspiracy , crime, gilt ai d treason, by the hirelings of arbitrary power. But we believe that a jnt and severe retri bution is in store for the men who have thus trampled our rights and liberties under foot, and squandered our treasure in the hour of our sorest need. We believe that the peo ple are tired ol the tyranny, burden and cor ruption of Ibe Abolition party, and that they will testify this by their action it ihe pol s this Fall. With discord and heart-burnings in the ranks of the opposition, and accord and onion governing and animating the De mocracy, the result cannot be donbtfnl. Thousands of true-hearted conservatives', now seeing tbe policy ol the' Abolitionists, and ihe danger of their imperiled country, will rash to the rescce, and aid us in achieving Ibis magnificent irinmph, and join us in a common and united effort to bring back Union and prosperity to a dis tracted people. Fellow Citizens : Once more to tbe great work. Remember that local action is the fountain from which the mighty stream of Democratic success is lobe fed. Remember ihat tnen are often moved by a personal ap peal who can be reached in no other way. The friends neighbors and associates of an individual are the agencies by which to reach him, arid enlist his feeling in behalf of the success of our cause. Let the peo pie of every locality put their shoulders to the wheel, and roll on the car of Democrat c triumph. Our honored and worthy candi dates are in the field, and we are met by our opponents in every conceivable man ner, and if success is to crown our efforts in ibe State it must be at the price of wnik organized and well directed labor The period of action has arrived ! The day of our redemption drawethnigh! Waver not! Falter not ! Each moment is precious. Let no time be lost between this and election day, and be at ihe polls early to prevent fraud and terrorism, and insure a fair ex pression of opinion at tbe ballot-box See lhat every vote is polled. Tbe contractors ad plunderers, and all who are wringing a living from the industry of the masses, are arrayed against os with the power of admin istration, military and civil, in their favor. To thwart their plans, and insure victory to the right, is tbe mission of the Democracy at this time. Work is now the watch-word Wotk in every township and precinct. Work by all, the highest and tbe humbles', will redeem Pennsylvania from the toils and ravages of Abolition rule. Friends of Truth, Right, and Justice, be on your guard ! Watch carefully the ballot-box. See that th wicked schemes of the foes of Constitctioral Freedom are defeated Awake your slumbering energies aroue yonr lion hearts and show that yoo are nol degenerate sons of ihe men of '98 shake out the ample lo'ds of that glorious flag wh'rh ha tmveit the battle and the breeze, and totiow it nu n more to viciory.

Pennsylvania is destined to be one of great importance, and to have a powerful influ ence npon the future of the country at large.

Brit, more important, it will probably determine the choice of the next 0. S. Senator Iron ihi State and thns affect the leginlanron of Congress aod the restoration ol peace to the land. It is, therefore, of vital importance that every exertion should be made by every member of our party to seenre ihe victory. Not only shiiuM every local organization be pnt ro work, but every honorable means should be adopted to vtir np the apathetic and lukewarm, and to make new votes by con version.
