CLEAKFIELD, PA., AUG. 23, 1S65.
A Heavy Defalcation.
Last week the whole country was thrown
into a feverish state of excitement, by the
announcement that a most unprecedented
defalcation aud forgery had been discovered
in New Tork. It seems that young Ketch
um. of the firm of Ketchum, Son & Co., of
Wall street, had forged a large number of
"gold certificates," upon which he. obtained
money from various banking institutions in
the city, to the amount of about five mil
lions of dollars. The result is that several
other firms, beside Ketchum & Co., have
tWn pomnelled lo susDend business. Gra
ham & Co' a losses by this forgery will reach
nearly $1,750,000, while their assets are a-
bout half that amount. The panic, howev
er, is said to be over, and business reviving.
The whereabouts of young Ketchum is not
known.
The County Convention.
The members of the Union party will
bear in mind that Thursday the 31st of
Ausrust. is the day annointed for holding
a Convention to nominate a county ticket.
Although the Union party is in the mi
nority in this county, yet it is desirable that
we nominate a county ticket composed of
our best men to be voted for, on the sec
ond Tuesday in October, in conjunction
with our State ticket. That any part of our
county nominees can be elected, there is little
hope, but the ticket will add strength to our
party, and enable us to poll a full vote on
the State officers. Then let us nominate a
good ticket, work for it and vote for it, and
thus show our political strength, and even
tually victory will crown our efforts even in
Clearfield county. -
Oar llominees.
By reference to the proceedings of the U-
nion State Convention, it will be seen that
Maj. General J. T. Hartranft, of Montgom
ery county, was nominated for AuditDr Gen
eral, and Col. Jacob M. Campbell, of Cam
bria county, for Surveyor General. Both
the nominees are well known throughout
the S ate as prominent actors in our recent
war for the Union. The satisfactory man
ner in which they discharged their duties
while in the army is a sure guarantee of
their ability, faithfulness, and competence
to fill the important positions for which they
have been nominated by the Union party.
They are worthy the support of all loyal
men in Pennsylvania, and will most assured
ly be elected on the Second Tuesday of next
October.
The Number of White Laborers seeking
and finding employment in the South is be
yond all calculation immense. A nrm m
INortolk is turnisuing such labor to men a-
bout to engage in enterprises ot various
kinds in the Southern States, and the offers
for employment are numerous for men of
apparent respectability and intelligence. It
would be a strange result of the war if, in
stead of the negroes coming North to push
white men out of employment, the latter
should go South and force the negroes to a-
bandon the late slave States to find homes
in lower latitudes. At present the occur
rence seems probable.
The laying down of the Atlantic cable is a
failure it having parted on the 2d of Aug
ust, when within about 600 miles of Heart's
" Content. The Company, however, are san
guine ot yet accomplishing their end. it 13
the intention of the company to grapple and
raise the cable, and then splice it and com
plete the laying down.
The Copperhead Organs are loud in the
advocacy of the principle that intelligence
alone should be the qualification for the ex
ercise of the elective franchise. If this princi
ple were applied to thatorganization.it could
scarcely control a ward, precinct, township
or county in the United States.
Every one is asking about Heart's Con
tent. It is a dirty little hamlet in New
foundland, noted principally tor its huge
musquitoes, untrustworthy people and beau
tiful bay. The hitherto terminus of the At
lantic cable is at Heart's Content.
It is understood that the authorized a-
mount ot national currency nas Deen ex
hausted, and no more national banks will at
present be chartered, except only those
whose papers were filed in due form prior to
August first.
The Minnesota Democratic State Conven
tion met at St Paul on Wednesday. Reso
lutions were adopted sustaining the restora
tion policy of President Johnson, and in fa
Tor of the maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine. .
The receipts of the Internal Revenue Bu
reau reached nearly two millions of dollars,

UNION STATE CONVENTION.
Pursuant to notice riven, the Union State
Convention assembled in the Hall of the
House of Representatives at llamsuurg.
at 12 o'clock on Thursday, August 17
1SG5. and was called to order by Uen. Simon
Cameron, Chairman of the btate Central
Committee. . , ... , , '
O . mntmn of Hon. Jeremiah iMcnois,
it t-o,., Pna. nf Bedford, was elected
temporary Chairman of the Convention.and
upon taking the chair, delivered the follow
ing address, amid loud applause:
Hmtleinen of 'the Convention: I return

am fully aware of the fact that the position
is one of difficulty and requires the discharge
of arduous duties. I earnestly solicit the co
oppeiation of every delegate in my efforts to

most of my ability, with impartiality and n-

rifice of every thing save principle, must the jt js fast becoming manifest that no pernia
action of this Convention, in the end be u- nent peace, even with the death of slavery,

been crushed. Our brave and heroic ofh
r-prs;. soldiers and sailors have well perform
ed their part. Before the magnitude of
their achievements the wars of former times
and the battles of other nations sink into
comparative insienificanee. Our nation to
day occupies a prouder position before the
world, and is more feared by the aristoc
racies of Europe, than ever before. The
crlories as well as the toils of our surviving
heroes, both officers and soldiers, the mem-
ones of the thousands slam and starved in
defence of our cause, the tens of thousands
of widows and orphans made such by the
war. and the millions ot debt wilhncly in
curred bv a loval people to preserve the life
ot the nation, all demand that the truits or
the trreat victory for human freedom shail
not be fritted away by the mistake of politi
cians.
Every man of us must be prepared to yield
upon the altar of patriotism all his personal
ureferences and individual wishes tor the
common good. There may be, and there no
doubt are, some questions about which we
may reasonably and safely differ. Upon all the
trreat vital issues of the day all truly loyal
men must and will agree. JJunng the lour
years of fearful and bloody war lust closed.
the rebellion increased and strengthened and
was greatly protracted by reason ot North
ern sympathy. Now, that it is over, these
men in the JNorth have crown bolder and
more defiant by reason of the aid and com
fort which thev expect to receive m turn
from thoe lately in arms against the Gov
ernment. lrue,the rebellion is over, the tight

lhis may appear to be a har.h judgment.
I would that I could believe otherwise. But
the spirit that for thirty years and more has
distracted our people, and disturbed the
peace of the nation, in a bold attempt to
make slavery the ruling power of the nation
and all other interests subservient to that
the spirit which slew our wounded and man
gled our dead on the field of battle after the
battle was over the same spirit which pro-
sided over the prisons of Andersonville

bv. Belle Island and elswhere that which
organized irresponsible bandsot guerrillas
slew innocent women and children in rail
road cars, poisoned fountains of water and
imported loathsome diseases the same spir
it which animated the hand ot the assassin
as it sped the tatal ball to the brain ot our
late merciful, magnanimous and patriotic
President, will not hesitate to seize the
throat or stab the heart of the nation, and
destroy, if possible, the noble old republic
of our fathers, utterly regardless ot the ruin
and woe wl ich may follow.
Already these meu in the South are organ
izing to send representatives of their kind to
Congress. Their friends in the North are
rallying for the same purpose. - Allow them
to succeed in their scheme and soon the reb
el debt will be assumed, damages paid to
rebels for injuries suffered during tlu war
and pensions granted to rebel wounded and
rebel widows. Under this load it is confi-
dentally expected by them that the'good old
ship of state will soon go down and the na
tion perish. Should this tail, our whole na
tional debt would next be repudiated and the
country ruined.
Shall all this be avoided ? Much of a cor
rect answer to this question may depend up
on your action to day. jvery dollar ot debt,
municipal, State and national, contracted
for the suppression of the rebellion, must
and shall be paid at all hazards. Not one
cent of rebel debt, damage or pensions shall
be assumed or paid upon any pretext or for
any reason whatever.
Our present loyal and patriotic President,
Andrew Johnson, has submitted to these
people a policy which challenges the admira
tion of the world. It will stamp him
through all time to come as a magnanimous,
merciful and kind hearted ruler. In hisef
forts to carry it out he must and will receive
our hearty and zealous co-operation and
support. But should these people contin
ue, as they have already commenced, to
treat his efforts of mercy with scorn and
contemp, and present to the country and
the world an exhibition of folly, madness
and wickedness unparalleled, let us here
proclaim to them ana to our chosen ruler
that we will, one and all. stand by him in
seizing and holding their own territory by
the military power of the country, and that
the grasp of the military arm shall not. be

it, and we will stand by him and Congress
in compelling them to acknowledge our tri
umph and their defeat. Slavery is dead and
must and snail be mined, i ne spine or
slavery must die and be buried with it
The aristocracy of the South which has
fostered and upheld slavery, and which in
augurated the Ine terrible civil war, must be
shorn ot its power. Already it is at work
stirring up oposition to the policy of the
government and crea'ing Hostility ana bit
terness among the people. For two years
we carried on the war without striding at
the cause ot the war. Indeed we rather
Piiarded and protected it.
At last Abraham
Lincoln, when his time had come, on the
memorable hrst day ot January.i&OJ, struc-K
at savery. The result is before us. And
yet jt stjji seenis as if no lessons are suffi-
c;ent t0 reach the authors ot the rebellion.
"This aristocracy is antagonistic totheprin
einles of free democratic government and the
time has come when this rebellious element
. . in 1. .
of aristocracy must be punished, lhe time
has come when their lands must be confisca
ted : the aristocracy must be put down and
their possessions divided among the worthier
laborers ot the land.
This result will throw into our National
Treasury many millions of dollars, justly
forfeited by the treasor of their former own
ers. What loval man can object that by
means of this fund a few of the comforts, if
not the luxuries, of life, should be added to
the tables of those widows throughout the
land whose firesides have been made deso
late bv the war. or rather by the treason
which caused it f ho will object tnat tne
bounties and pensions ot soldiers by whom
the victory was woi and the nation saved
hould be increased and a trifle added to the
pecuniary compensation sojnstly due them
for the sacrifices made? Who can object
that by mears of these funds so justly for
feited a large portion ot our National debt
should be extingished, and thereby the tax
es ot all classes or our people diminished,
and a part ot the heavy load imposed upon
the shoulders of our people by treason thus
removed by treason itself?
Having proclaimed the rreedom ot the
slave let us not weaken ourselves or endan
ger his condition by any controversy aacng
ourselves about his present position or the
extent of his privileges, but carefully and
surely provide that the tieedom thus pro
claimed shall be firmly and irrevocably es
tablished and secured through all time to
come.
Let unity of action and a cheerful acqui
escence in the decision of the majority mark
our deliberations let the glory perpetuity
and success of our common country, alone,
be our object, aud all will be well.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cessna s address
Hon. J. K. Moorehead, of Allegheny, and
Hon. Jeremiah Mithols, ot Philadelphia
were appointed Vice Presidents, and Messrs.
J. B. Gara, of Erie, and Wayne Mcv eigh,

Mr. M'Neal (Chester,) from the Commit
tee or Resolutions, submitted the following
report, which was unanimously adopted :
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPALS.
The Union party of Pennsylvania, in
State Convention assembled declare :
1. That as representatives of 'the loyal
feople of the Commonwealth, we reverent
y desire to offer our gratitude to Almighty
God, whose favor has vouchsafed victory to
the national arms, enabled us to eradicate
the crime of slavery from our land, and to I
' render treason against the Kepublic nnpossi-1
Lie foreveruiore ;
and next to Him, our
1, I
thanks are due an j are neieuy teuueieu i
our brave soldiers and sailors, who, by their
endurance, sacrifices, and illustrious heroism,
have secured to their country, peace, and to
uiv , t . i
the down-trodden everywhere, an asylum of
liberty ; who hive shown that the war for
the restoration ot the Union is not a failure,
and whose valor has proven for all time the
fact that this Government of the people, by
the people, for the people, is as invincible
in its strength as it is beneficent in its op
eration. 2. That revering the name of Abraham
Lincoln, the great martyr of liberty, we can-
not show greater honor to his name than by
a geneious support ot his tellow patriot and
successor, Andrew Johnson, the President
of the United States, who has been called
to complete the task which he left unfinish
ed. His unbeuding patriotism in the past
is a sure guarantee that m the momentous
future the authority of the Government will
lie upheld, and the rights and liberties ot ail
the citizens ot the Kepubhc secured.
3. I hat the mild and generous method of
reconstruction ottered by the J resident to
the people lately in rebellion, in the judg
ment of this Convention, has not been ac
cepted in the spirit of honest loyalty and
gratitude, but with s'ich evidence ot deh
ance and hostility as to impel us to the con
viction that they cannot safely be entrusted
with the political rights which they forfeit
ed by their treason, until they have proven
their acceptance of the results of the war,
by incorporating them in constitutional pro
visions and securing to all men within their
boarders their inalienable rights to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
4. That having conquered the rebellious
States, they should be held in subjection,
and the treatment they are to receive and
the laws which are to govern them, should
be referred to the law-making power of the
nation to which it legitimately belongs.
5. That the late rebellion, was wanton
ly precipitated by the property holders of
the feouth, it is but just that they should
pay the expenses of the war, and Congress
should declare as forfeited and vested in the
Government the property of all rebels whose
estates exceed the sum of $10,000, and that
the proceeds of the property so confiscated
should be applied to increase the pensions
of those entitled thereto by the casualties
of the war, to pav the damages done by the
enemy to loyal citizens, and to reduce the
burden of the national debt.
6. That it is the duty of Congress so to
revise the revenue laws as to afford increas
ed protection to American industry ; to se
cure the development of the industrial
wealth of the people, to render labor profit
able and remunerative ; to build up home
markets for our agriculturists', to attract
capital to the mineral fields of the country,
and to provide revenue for the maintenance
of the public credit : and this Cjnvention
recognizes the chief enemy to a policy of
protection in that Ji.uropean power which,
for four years, has furnished piratical ves
sels of war to the rebels, and thus endeav
ored to drive our commerce from the sea.
7. That any attempt by foreign nations to
establish monarchial governments on this
continent is evident of a design to destroy
Republican institutions. Regard for our
own safety and for the future security of the
Republic demand that no such attempt
should succeed.
8. That it is the duty of Congress to secure
the full Federal bounty to all honorably dis
charged soldiers irrespective of the date of
their enlistment.
9. That we recognize in Edwin M. Stan
ton, the fearless, honest and able head of
the Department of War, a public servant
who has deserved well of his country, and
has borne himself so clear in his great office
as to merit the earnest gratitude of all loj-al
men ; and we tender to him and his distin
guished colleagues in the cabinet our thanks
for their valuable services in the cause of
liberty and law.
10. That the constant devotion of Gov.
Curtin to the best interests of tre State and
nation, during the last four years, and his
indefatigable efforts on all occasions to pay
the iust debt of gratitude we owe our na
tional defenders, not merely bv words, but
also by deeds, entitle him to the thanks of
every loyal citizen of Pennsylvania.
liui mci ill iiv nuiuo,
11. Ibat this Convention, representing
the loyal people of Pennsylvania, recognizes
the claims of our citizen soldiers on our con-
tions for offices especial regard should le
Jiaid to the claims of those who have fait h
ully served ther country in the army or the
navy in the suppression ot the rebellion.
12. That the people of the Democratic
party stand arraigned belore the people ot j
Pennsylvania, tor constantly obstructing tne
efforts of the constituted authorities to main
tain the lite of the Republic. They did
this
By inflaming the passions of their ignor
ant followers against the legally elected offi
cers of the Federal Government, and re
fraining from all reproach against treason or
armed traitors :
By procuring a decision from the Demo
cratic judges of our supreme court, denying
the right of the Government to the services
of the citizens of this State for the defence
of their imperilled country :
By discouragine men from volunteering
into the armies of the Union ; thus render
ing it necessary to succumb to treason, or to
pay large bounties, and so burdening every
ward, township and borough in the State
with debt to fill the ranks of our armies :
By opposing the enlistment of negroes for
our defence, although one white man less
was required for every black one who could
be enlisted, and this at the very moment
when the battle of Gettysburg was raging
on the soil of Pennsylvania, and the result
of that decisive battle was uncertain :
- By denying our soldiers the right to vote
while fighting for the flag of our fathers, on
the plea that such rights were not allowed
by our constitution, and by opposing an a
mendment which removed their objections,
and relieved our brave soldiers from dis
ability :
By exaggerating the public indebtedness,
denying the public credit, and teaching that
the financial resources of the north were un
equal to the suppression of the rebellion :
By a shameful opposition to measures
for extending relief to the families of Union
soldiers, and by a malignant effort by these
means to secure the success of the rebels in
the field, or such a proractirn of the war as
would exhaust the nation iu its effort to sub
due their friends :
By now heaping abuse upon the Govern
ment for punishing assassins a ad t heir aooom-
plices ; by demanding the release of leading
traitors, Dy.irownmg down au aueuiiua iu
bring to punishment the fiends who starved
11" . . 1 I 1 A. i A.
our soiaiers, ana py assuring reueis mat
neither in person or property shall they be
punished for their crimes :
And if anything were wanting to com
plete their infamy, we have it in their deter
uiinetf opposition to free labor, and a tariff
which, while it would make labor profitable
by protecting the workingmen ot Pennsyl
vania from British competition, wouid large
ly increase the revenue essential to the main
tainance of the public faith ard credit.-
Mr. Lilly, of Carbon, moved that the
Chairman of the State Central Committee,
be elected by the Convention instead of re
ceiving the appointment at the hands of the
a short and interesting discussion on the
subject, it was ostponded uutil after the
nominations should be made.
The Con vention then proceeded to ballot
for candidates for Auditor General. The
following gentlemen were placed in noniiua
tion : Major General J. T. Hartiantt, of
Montgomery county ; Hon. Heistand. of
Lancaster; Hon. R. R. M' Combs, of Law
rence ; General Chas. Albright, of Carbon ;
Gen. James L. Sellridge, of Northamton.
Before the result of the ballot could be an
nounced, it was moved and carried that the
nomination of Maj. Gen. Hartranft be made
unanimous.
The following gentlemen were announced
as candi-lates for the office of Surveyor Gen
eral : Colonel Jacob M. Campbell, of Cam
bria county ; Gen. James Nagle, of Schuyl
kill county; W. H. Markle; Henry S. Boy
er, ot Snyder county ; Brice X. Blair, of
Huntingdon county.
The name of W. II. Markle was, with the
consent of the Convention withdrawn.
Colonel Camr bell received 91 vo;es, Gen
James Nagle 27 votes, and Brice X. Blair
11 votes. When the nomination of Colonel
Jacob M. Campbell, of Cambria county, was
made unanimous.
Hon. Tliaddeus Sterens thought the se
lection of a Chairman of the State Cen-
ral Committee a matter of a good deal of
importance. He thought it would be a
great relief to the Chairman, and he moved'
that the resolution concerning the election
should be amended by making Hon. John
Cessna, of Bedford, Chairman of the State
Certral Committee. The motion was car
ried with applause.
At this stage of the Convention Major
General Hartranft and Col. Jacob M.Camp
bell were introduced, who thanked the Con
vention for the nominations received, at the
same time pledging themselves, if elected
to discharge their duties with unfaultering
fidelity.
Mr. Cessna. Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee also returned his thanks to
the Convention for his election tothatoffice.
Adjourned sine die.
