WORK ! UNION MEN, WOBK !
In loss than three weeks from this day,
our annual election will take place. Are all
the Union men awake to its importance?
Let each man feel its importance, and de
termine that he will not lag in the exercise
of his right of suffrage, and that he will by
his example and influence use his best en
deavors to bring out every Union voter on
that day. If this be done our State ticket
will Iks elected by at least thirty thousand
majority. But if apathy and over-confidence
pervade our ranks, and one here and
another there stays at home, as has often
been the case heretofore, the contest may
be a close one. This must not be. All that
ii required to overwhelm our political oppo
nents is a full Union vote on the 10th of
October. Then let every Union voter be
active and zealous, and work from now until
the election without intermission, and his
etforts will be crowned with a glorious vic
tory over the enemies of our country.
THE "DEMOCRACY" OF ELK.
On our first page, to-day, we publish an
address of the Elk Democratic Representa
tive Conferees to the Democracy of Elk
county, as published in the Advocate, . in
which the Conferees set forth their reasons
for nominating Dr. C. K. Earlv for As
sembly. The address includes the action
ot the Elk county Conferees atLuthersburg.
Among the proceedings then had, is a reso
lution requesting their publication in the
Elk Advocate and Clearfield Republican.
As the Republican of last week does not
contain the proceedings, for reasons best
krown to them, we deem it but due to our
Elk neighbors that they should be heard in
Clearfield county and hence their appear
ance in our columns. The address, no doubt,
will be perused with interest, by our readers
generally.
THE LATE ELECTIONS.
The returns from Maine show an increased
majority for the Union candidate Cony's
majority being over 20,000. In Vermont,
Dillingham, the Republican candidate for
Governor, is elected by about 20,000 major
ity an increase. In California all the prin
cipal counties in the interior have elected
Union members to the Legislature only
two or three small counties having gone
Democratic And in Kentucky the Democratic-
majority has been reduced from over
36.000 Jfor McClellan to 158. Surely, the
friends of the Union have great cause for
congratulation, in the result of the elections
in the above named States ; and soon Penn
sylvania will follow by at least 30,000iajor-

BEPUDIATION AND DISGRACE.
' It is evident from the tone of the Copper
head press and speakers, that their first ef
fort, should they be placed in power, will be
to destroy our credit, either by repudiating
the national debt that was contracted in
suppressing the rebellion, or by assuming
the payment of the rebel debts either of
which would be national destruction. To
prevent this repudiation and disgrace, and
to mantain our national integrity, it is only
necessary Iot the friends of the Union to be
true to themselves to vote for no man who
has heretofore sympathised with the rebels,
or who now excuses and palliates their of
fences. .
Joh'n CL Breckenridge is in Canada. It
is not known whether he seeks a pardon to
go back to Kentucky, or to stump Pennsyl
vania during the fall campaign. John has
a rebel's love for the home of Davis, and is
willing to labor anywhere for its "honor."

The State Rights of Democracy.
That the "Democratic party" or parties,
as we should say, believe in "State Rights"
is very certain. The sincerity of their belief
is exemplified in the "sovereign indepen
dence" of opinion and doctrii e which they
maintain in each btate. lt is the inaliena
ble right" of the "Democracy" of each to
make just what kind of creed they please,
and to regulate their domestic institutions
of Democratic doctrine to suit themselves."
They guard that "reserved right" with ex
traordinary jealousy. A consolidation ot
"Democratic principles" is as abhorrent to
them as a "consolidation of federal power."
They detest general principle, which are Pu
ritanical and fanatical, coercive and revolu
tionary. They stand for the sovereignty of
States and State Conventions, and in the
latter are very careful to distinctly pronounce
their independence of each other.
There is no longer, sas a consequence, any
such thing as a "Democracy" at large.
There is the "Democracy of Xew York,"
the "Democracy of Pennsylvania," the
"Democracy of New Jersey," the "Demo
cracy of Kentucky," etc., but no aggregate
"Democracy" which embraces them all.
The term "Democracy" has got to be sim
ply a much abused common name attaching
to a great many different things, and has no
unit sense whatever. 'A he "New York Dem
ocrat" is not a "Democrat" in Pennsylva
nia, at all nor iu Ohio, nor in New Jersey,
nor in Kentucky. Moving in Pennsylvania
he becomes a "blood-thirsty radical ;"i nto
Ohio a "revolutionist ;" into Kentucky a
"black abolitionist;" into New Jersey a
"fanatical nigger worshiper."
In New York he subscribes to the decla
ration that the late war was a "triumph."
In Pennsylvania, to become a "Democrat,"
he must swear with the State Convention
that it was a war llof slaughter, debt and dis
grace." In New York he endorses "the plan of
President Johnson for the speedy restora
tion of the States latelyin rebellion," by the
appointment of Provisional Governors to
call conventions for the alteration of" the old
State Constitutions. In Pennsylvania his
"full approval" is conditioned that the Pres
ident will execute "nothing but the law in
all parts of the country," that the "milita
ry are not to interfere in the State elections,"
and that "he will suffer no person inclu
ding Wirz, as a matter of course, to be
murdered by military commissions." In
Ohio to Income a Democrat, he must
join the State Convention in censuring Pres
ident Johnson for not having ratified "the
terms agreed to by Major General Sherman,
in April last" by which terms the rebel
Governors were to remain in power and the
pro-slavery constitution stand untouched.
In New York he applauds the adminis
tration of President Johnson as of "enligh
tened statesmanship ami sound political the
ory," and pledges it "a conl'ud and energet
ic support." In Ohio, to become a 'm
ocrat," he must denounce President John
son for "ihe continued suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus since the termina
tion of the war, and when all pretense of
necessity is passed : the denial of the right
of trial by jury, and the trial of citizens not
in the military service by military commis
sions, and the open interference with elec
tion by military, as in the instances in Ken
tucky and Tennessee ;" which being "revo
lutionary violations of the constitution," it
"is the duty of all good citizens to meet
with the most determined opposition."
In New York, he thanks "the soldiers
and sailors of the nation," &c, &c. In
New Jersey, to becoti e a "'Democrat," he
must carefully insert the word "white" be
fore "soldiers and sailors," and by omitting
that definitive term exposes himself to the
scorn and contempt of all the"true llues"of
J ersey.
These are a few of the distinctions and
contraritics by which the Democratic parties,
maintain their "State Rights,"-and vindi
cate their sovereign independence of senti
ment and doctrine.
FRIENDS OF THE UNION !
Remember, that our brave soldiers van
quished the rebel horde, who endeavored to
destroy the Union, by perseverance and suf
fering. The allies of that common enemy
are still active, although the war has ceased.
To bring our country to the verge of de
struction seems to be their only object. This
3'ou can prevent at the ballot-box by casting
your votes for the Union candidates. Then
be up and doing work unceasingly until
the polls close on the Second Tuesday of
October next, and your reward will be the
utter defeat of the allies of treason and re
bellion. ARE YOU ASSESSED ?
If not, see to it at once, as the time in
which it can be done, is drawimr to a close.
Only ten days remain Jn which assessments
can be made legally. Also, see that your
neighbors are assessed. It not unfrequently
happens that, either accidently, or, perhaps,
intentionally, the names of Uuion voters
have been omitted from the assessment rolls.
Then, examine the lists, and if your own,
or your neighbor's name does not appear
thereon, have it placed there atonce other
wise you will be deprived of your vote.
The Copperheads are indulirinir in some
boasts over their "soldier candidates" for
Governor in New Jersey and Ohio. We
don't see that there is much room to brag
on these nominees. They are decidedly a
weak-kneed, spavined team. Runyon, of
ew Jersey, was a (ieneral only in the three,
months' service, and made a very disgrace
ful figure at Bull Run, his only battle.
Morgan, of Ohio, was a commander of the
McClellan stripe, and was distinguished in
the army only for his surrender of Cumber
land Gap, in: September, 1SG2. Would it
not be appropriate for the Copp3rheads to
form all their "soldier candidates, in rank
and trot them around to the tune of the
"Bummer's march V"
Says the Cattanooga Gazette: "We have
already published the fact of the cowardly
murder of Captain IlEASLY.in Augusta,Ga.,
and the fact that Gen. Steadman has organ
ized a court martial for the trial of the al
leged assassins. We have since learned
that the General has received anonymous
letters, warning him if the young bloods are
punished be shall never leave Georgia a-
What Democrats Seek.
The editors, stumpers and conventions of
the Democratic party are striving to answer
the question, "What do Democrats seek?"
It is true that the people would be glad to
know what they do really seek; but far great
er satisfaction would have been afforded had
they answered that question three years ago.
What did they seek when they were unani
mous in refusing either a man or a dollar to
save the country? What did seek when they
all exerted their utmost to discourage enlist
ments and to shield deserters when the coun
try was on the brink of ruin, and all patriots
trembled for her safety? What did they seek
when they met in concalve all over the loyal
states, and commenced the work of arming
themselves in resistance to the Government
and in favor of the rebellion? What did
they seek when they denounced Mr. J ohn
son as a tyrant, a usurper, a brute, while
they now indorse him ?. What did they seek
when at Chicago, less than one year ago, they
resolved the four years' war a failure? With
this record so fresh in the people's recollec
tion, how can any confidence be now placed
in any plausible story they may tell as to
what they seek,
Military Candidates.
The Democratic faction are not discour
aged by their poor success in military candi
dates last fall. They chose their man then
in adaptation to their platform, p ronouncing
the war a failure, and of the best and fullest
representative of that idea. Since other
and better Generals have carried the war to
a successful issue, and secured au honorable
safe and lasting peace, the party finding
itself a "failure," has been feeling around
for some new support. Not finding it con
venient or promising to declareagainst the
war again, they are, in several cases avail
ing themselves of military candidates to
meet the exigency of their affairs, and in
sonic of these cases taking them from the
triumphant Union ranks. It will be ob
served, however, that, as a general thing,
they run soldiers where there is- no chance
of election ; wherever there is they run poli
ticians, as usual.
True Soldiers, men who fought for prin
ciple aud not for pay, in the war to put
down the slave-holders' rebellion, shrink
from accepting nominations for civil posi
tion, when conferred by the party whose
leaders and representatives sympathized
with the conspirators, lien, hlocuiu is an
instance of tins fact. II declined the nom
ination of the New York copperheads for
an important State ofhee. And now we
hear of still auother soldier who indignant
ly rejects a nomination at the hands of - the
enemies of his country. Col. S. G. Van
Anda, nominated for Lieutenant Governor
by the Iowa copperheads, on what they call
a "Soldiers' Ticket," declines the di.-honor,
and pledges himself to support the Union
ticket. Howdiffercnt theactions ot these gal
and heroic officers when compared with
that of other soldiers who have actually
crawled on their knees for like favors from
the enemies of th? country. Telegraplu
In 1S61 a large army was organized to
keep the rebellious States in the Union. In
Jjiflo it is proposed to maintain a large army
to keep them out of the Umion Dmles

Davis.
In 18G1 the Democratic party conspired
with the traitors of the South to take the
slave States out of the LTnion for the pur
pose of creating a government whose corner
stone should rest on the enslavement of all
men compelled to labor for a living in 1SG-3
the sr me leaders are insisting, in the facoof
the defeat of the slave-holders, that the war
for the Uuion is a failure, that the National
debt must be repudiated, and- that the U

Confederate service of this State is, we learn,
about to take charge of the construction
and repair of the wharves for one of the con
tractors with the city. Two brigadiers have
already secured places iu the Commercial
Express Compa'ny. One brigadier is pros
perously engaged in the business of boss
drayman. There are other Generals who
are spoken of as civil engineers on our rail
roads. Almost every store has a colonel or
a major. There are three distinguished
colonels extensively cngased in the auction
business. One colonel who has heretofore
directed big guns with skill and heroism in
some of the fiercest battles of the war, is now
selling bale rope and bagging ; another, one
of Stonewall Jackson's favorite regimental
commanders is pressing cotton.

From the Doylestown IntMligencer or Sept. 19th.
How Col. Davis Went In for Putting Down
the Rebellion.
The following extract from the Doyles
ioicn Democrat, of which Col. Davis, the
present Democratic candidate for Auditor
General of this State, was and is the editor
and proprietor, are given for the purpose of
showing the sentiments which were dissemi
nated by that paper while he held an official
position under the Government which was
so bitterly assailed in its pages. As Col.
Davis is now before the people as a candi
date for public office, and is desirous of re
receiving their votes, and since he was un
doubtedly nominated on account of his
having been engaged in the war, and there
fore likely to be more available before the
public on that account, it is but just that
the kind of aid his newspaper rendered the
Government, and the sympathy it extended
to its noble, illustrious and lamented chief
in his efforts to crush out treason and rebel
lion,should be again given to the community.
An editorial article in the Democrat of
August 23d, 1S64, when Col. Davis was still
an officer in the army, reads as follows :
"With an immense aruiy, a good navy,
and the ports of the Confederacy blockaded,
we have gained virtually nothing until we
defeat the two main armies of the South.
The reason why we have been so unfortu
nate are plain and understandable. Mr.
Lincoln committed himself to an emancipa
tion policy. He hereby abandoned the war
for re-uuion, aud made it a war absolutely
and ui.equivoc lly for the negro. "Slavery
shall not live" was his motto. Beyond this
was an object dearer to his hiart his own
re-election which he esteemed more than a
hundred thousand lives. These were bis
two motives for abadoning'the principles of
our government, and of preverting the war.
For these purposes, and these only, has the
war been prolonged ; for these -urposes
were the soldiers massacred at Olustee,
and the army of General Giant defeated
and foiled; for these purposes has another
draft been ordered; for these purposes
have elections been carried by force of
anus, and "bogus States" declared in
the Union; for these purposes have thou
sands been buried under Confederate sod ;
for these purposes have the forts and
bastiles of the country been filled with fear
less patriots who dare expose the profligacy
of Abolition, and the corruption and des
potism of Abraham Lincoln.
"The people are now to decide between
this state of affairs and peace between the
old Government and a new despotism be
tween the protection of our liberties and the
surrender of them to an arbitrary and per
fidious ruler. IYujo endo.l witt ihe admin
istration of Junius IJuchanan, and war,
WO'kly, remorseless war, began with the in
auguration of Abraham Lincoln. We have
tried war fbr three years ; let us now try to
effect what war has failed to do. There is
no doubt that Mr. Lincoln has done more
to cement the States of the Confederacy to
gether than any man on the continent. He
pas pursued a policy calculated to divide the
sentiment of the North, and harmonize that
of the South. Yet he has now the presump
tion to ask a re-election. The question will
be : Lincoln and war, or the Chicago nomi
nee and peace for re-union.
"It is a mistaken idea that peace means
slavish submission to the Confederacy. It
means nothing of the kind. No Democrat
ever expressed his willin ness to concede to
dishonorable compromise. We have tried
war and found by a sad experience that it is
supremely profitless, and that Lincoln and
his hirelings are incapable of managing a
campaign successfully if they wished. Some
thing must be done. The Democratic par
ty proposes, if we judge aright, to restore
the Union under the Constitution by peace
able means. Mr. Lincoln has put the pro
longation of the war rut of the question.
Our nation is almost bankrupt, and every
branch of industry is suffering for want
of men ; therefore are men called upon to
join the standard of peace for re-union, and
defeat the party in power which is no more
nor less than a thoroughly disunion party."
Again, from a leading editorial of August
30, the week after, we quote the following :
"The Confederates contend that they
have made an agreement with the Federals
for the proper and speedy exchange of pris
oners ; that they have faithfully" observed
the provisions of it, and have frequently
E reposed exchange on its basis. But Mr.
lincoln bays no. He will permit the white
soldiers of ths North to rot in the scorching
sun, and the Federal army to become a skele
ton, before he will agree to an exchange
which does not recognize his tyranny and
court his despotic will.
"What is the consequence of Mr. Lin
coln's refusal ? The sujering of our brave
a? gallant toldiers. They are left to die
on Southren soil rather than relinquish the
policy of negro equality. The Confederates
are accused of inordinate barbarity, in order
to conceal the despotism and riminal fanat
icism of our President Let the soldiers re
member that Abraham Lincoln made a
solemn agreement for the exchange of pris
oners of war and broke it, because it did not
include negro soldiers, many of whom are
runaway slaves of the South. Let them re
member that all their sufferings and priva
tions while in captivity were necessitated by
the contracted policy of Mr. Lincoln. Let
them remember that their rights, honor,
and their liberty are outraged on account of
the negro ; and done by a Presidn- of the
United States.
"The negro is the idol of Abolitionism.
1 he whites may die in forts and prison-camps,
because the negro is not recognized a hi
equal by the Canfederates. This fact proves
that our present warfare is a weak ficht for
negro equality, and negro liberty. No evi
dence can be found that we are liehting for
re-union and the Constitution. The war is
perverted and the ninn guilty of the act pre
sumptuously asks the suffrage of the people
and of the soldiers in the army. Let the
people remember him. Let the wives and
and children of the prisoners of war recollect
that he is the fountain head of their suffer
ings ; and if they become widows and -orphans,
that he is the murderer. LeL the
prisoners remember him when theveat their
last scanty morsel ; and if the people r.f this
country are true to themselves and to our
suffering soldiers, they will pronounce him
a man
Hated. despist i. scourged by a two-fold rod,
ihe seorn of millions and the curse of God.'
Th above is only a sample of the numer
ous productions of a like character that have
appeared in that paper, during the .war,
more of which may appear in our columns
hereafter.
A Copperhead Candidate in Favor of Bepu
diation. Col. W. W. II. Davis, the Copperhead
candidate for Auditor General, has now re
sumed full charge of the Doylestown Demo
crat, a newspaper which he has owned for
many years, and which heretofore aud now
sympathizes with the rebels. The peculiar
force ot the Democrat, siuce Col. Davis has
returned to preside overits columns. consists
in asserting that the rebels have not been
whipped; that they should oe received
back to the Lnion with all their rights re
stored ;' that slavery is not and can never be
abohsr.ed, and tnat in justice to the rebels
the debt which they incurred "m strugHin
for their "rights" is as legal as the debt
which was piled on the people by the Na
tional authorities while waging a crusade on
the people of the South, and if the Nation
al debt is paid, so also must the debts of the
Southern States be liquidated. According
to Col. Davis' own theory the triumph of
the uopperheaas at tne ballot box would be
to wipe out all the disgrace of the defeat of
the rebels on the battle field. The Doyle
toicn Democrat takes this position, and W.
W. II. Davis is the editor and proprietor of
that pestilential sheet. Telegraph.
Paymaster General's Department.
Notwithstanding the fact that over three
hundred thousand soldiers have been dis
charged the service of the United States,the
work in the Paymaster General's Depart
ment does not appear materially to decrease.
Few persons outside of the department have
any idea of the great labor performed in ex
amining descriptive lists and muster out and
pay-rolls of each soldier discharged the army.
The examining of each account,for the pur
pose of giving the soldier his just dues, and
at the same time guarding the Government
against fraud, is a labor in itself requiring
a thorough mathematician, with persever
ance and energy. Since the 1st of May,
1SG5, the Paymaster General has paid out
of the United StateslTreasury $193,546,095
49 to discharged soldiers.
