CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 25, 1865.
To What Depths They "Went.
Notwithstanding the desperate effort of
the Copperhead leaders in this county, their
majority was reduced over 500 votes ; and
would have been still less had not their wil
ling dupes permitted all the deserters to vote,
while they rejected the ballots of many U
nion men who were justly entitled to vote,
as will be seen by the following summary:
In Lawrence township, the election beard,
took the votes of three reputed deserters,
to wit: Samuel Bell, J. O. Dixon, and John
Whalon (one of which at least was challeng
ed) without asking any questions while
they refused the ballots of James Harley,
S. M. Fullerton, M. S. Lawhead, and Per
ry Addleman, (four soldiers,) on the ground
that they had not gone to the Assessor
personally, to be assessed the names of
the two latter being on the regular tri-en-nial
assessment.
In Woodward township, Samuel Kep
hart, a deserter from the 110th P. V., and
Mathiw Carson, a reputed draft deserter,
were allowed to vote, after being challenged.
In this case the election board allege, they
done so under the direction of Win. A.
Wallace, who instructed them to take the
ballot of every white freeman who present
ed himself, and he would be responsible
therefor. Mr. Wallace admitted this fact
to a gentleman from said township on
Thursday following the election.
In Knox township, James McKee, James
L." McCullough, and Thomas B. Temple
ton, deserters from Company B, 149th P. V.
and Win. Cox, Jacob -Arnold, and two
other reputed draft deserters, were allowed
to vote, atter challenging their right to do so.
In Ferguson township, the vole of James
II. Ferguson, a returned soldier was reject
ed because his name was not on the assess
ment list of 1S65, although he had paid tax
es for 1864.
In Graham township three reputed 1
Bertcrs from the draft Henry Hubler, El
lis W. Kvens and Ira Green were permit
ted to vote, after being challenged.
In Lumber-city, the ballots of William
Spencer a reputed deserter, and A: A. Kel
lv, a supposed deserter, were taken. Thtr
votes were challenged.
In Goshen township, Joseph Bumgard
rer, a reputed draft deserter, was allowed
to vote, after his right to do so was chal
lenged. In Karthaus township, a reputed deserter
named II. 11. Meeker, was allowed to vote.
He was challenged.
In Decatur township, some 15 or 20 draft
deserters were allowed to vote, and no doubt
others in other districts.
Thus it will be seen that upwards of thir
ty deserters, so far as we are advised, were
permitted to vote, in this county, whilst the
ballots of a number of soldiers were rejected.
It is evident from the above facts, that
the leaders of the so-called Democratic par
ty, especially the Chairman of their State
Central Committee, depended largely upon
deserters from the army for success at the
last election, and assured election officers
that they would take npon themselves the
responsibility for all such votes which they
might receive ! On the other hand, they
as strenuously endeavored to prevent men
. voting who had faithfully served in t he Army
and been "honorably discharged. What have
' retained soldiers to say about su,ch conduct?
Anarchy, war, and slaughter seem to be
favorite pass times of the South American
Governments, if governments they can be
called. Brazilians are slaughtering Para
guayans, and Paraguayans Bratilius, until
both countries are filled with sorrow and des
olation. Panama is in a ferment, Columbia
is disaffected, and Uruguay aids Paraguay,
directly and indirectly,ia the work of blood.
But further north the troubled blood is calm
ing. ' Mexico, let prejudice say what it will,
is growing quiet under the rule of MAXI
MILIAN ; and the Liberals, isolated in lonely
mountain passes, without money, strength,
or strongholds, are degenerating into pred
atory guerilla bands, enemies as well to the
country they profess to love as to themselves.
"To th People of Pennsylvania,"
The following stirring appeal concludes
Senator Wallace's last card "To the People
of Pennsylvania :"
Democrats or Pennsylvania ! The
hour of your triumph approaches. An en
emy divided in council and distracted in
sentiment is before you. . . . Arouse to
vigorous and determined action, and you
must be victorious."
If the Union party was ''divided in coun-
eiT and "distracted in sentiment," and
could beat theCopperhead phalanx by 20,000
majority in Pennsylvania, what would have
been the result if they had been united and
harmonious? Do tll?
THE ELECTIONS.
Pennsylvania. The official returns have
been coming in slowly, but sufficient have
been received to know that the Republican
State ticket will have about 20,000 majority.
We will cive the fisrures next week. The
State Senate stands 20 Republicans, 13
Democrats the House 66 Republicans,
Democrats 33, and one Independent Demo
crat
Iowa. The majority for the Republican
State ticket foots up between 16,000 and
17,000. The General Assembly will be
largely Republican, securing the election of
two United States Senators, one to fill the
unexpired term of Hon James Harlar, and
one for the full term of six years from the
4th of March 1867.
Ohio. The Republicans carried Ohio
by a majority of 23,000. Copperheadism is
making poor headway in the "Buckeye"
State.
Lo! PoorWoodward! In 1864,George
W. Woodward was the Copperhead candi
date for Governor of Pennsylvania, perhaps
more on account of his known hostility to
the war for the preservation of the Union
than for any other reason. His defeat by
Andrew G. Curtin, by an overwhelming ma
jority, is fresh in the recollection of every
reader. At the elation this fall, the son of
Judge Woodward was a candidate for State
Senator in Luzerne county district, where
the Copperhead strength, and his family in
fluence, were supposed to render his success
certain beyond any pread vent ure. But, alas !
here again the people remembering the
conduct of the father, spun ed a name tvhich
has been identified with encouraging the
the first blows of the Southern traitors, and
gave his Republican competitor, Mr. Shoe
maker, a majority sufficient to secure his
election. The fate of the Woodwards will
sene a a warning to others who walked in
the same dubious paths during the days of
the Rebellion.
The Press. Forney's Press comes to
us this week much enlarged and improved
in appearance. It is now a double sheet of
eight pages, and contains forty-eight col
umns. The Press is a fearless and inde
pendent paper, devoted -to the interests of
the great National Union party, and will
"discuss all the issues as they arise, cau
tiously but courageously, temperately but
without vaeiliation." The Press is decid
edly the best paper published in Philadel
phia, and second to none in - the United
States. It merits, and will receive the sup
port of patriotic men throughout the length
and breadth of the land. The terms are :

Quite Sympathetic The Clearfield Re
publican of October 11th, contains the fol
lowing tit-bit:
"The soldiers no difference how lonjr or
how well they helped to crush the rebellion
and treason, were called upon to surrender."
What wonderful love for the soldiers these
Copperheads were wont to profess before
the election. But where were their loud
professions on the 2d Tuesday of October,
when the Lawrence township election board
rejected the votes of Perry Addleman, M.
S. Lawhcad, S. 31. Fullerton, and James
Harley four soldiers who had been assess
ed and paid their taxes, and were legally en
titled to vote?
Railroad Disaster, On the 14th inst,
an accident occurred on the Pennsylvania
Rail Road, about 6 miles east of Lancaster,
Pa., by which nine persons lost their lives,
and a number of others v?ere more or less
injured. Among the killed were Mrs. Anna
D. Barr, wife of Hon. J. I. Rarr, Survey
er General of the State, Col. Wm. Butler
of Lewistown, whiskey inspector at Phila
delphia, the wife of Col. Butler, Wm. II.
Butler, of Williamsport, Pa., Mrs. Willet
of Wisconsin, and three unknown ladies.
The cause of the accident has not been defi
nately ascertained.
"Darkies" Wanted. We understand
that, since the election, the leading Copper
heads have been hunting up "niggers"
Sambo being the only thing tangible left
which they can "pitch into." One irate
fellow, who had an eye to his pocket, pro
posed to offer a premium for one or two ath
letic fellows, who would be able to undergo
the abuse and thumping of the whole Cop
perhead crew in this county, as it would be
more economical than each man finding a
"nigger" for himself. Proposals will Iw re
ceived at the Clearfield Republican office
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, who
is quoted in the Copperhead papers as the
leader of the so-called "Radicals," or sup
posed anti-Johnson men in the Republican
ranks, declared recently that there will be
no trouble between us (the "Radicals" afore
said) and the President He says the E
mancipation amendment is the great corner
gtone of President Johnson's policy, as it is
also the only test question in the Union
party. The question of negro suffrage is an
open one which Republicans may endorse
or disapprove of, as they see proper.
President Johnson, in a dispatch to Gov.
Holden, of North Carolina, under date of
October 18th, 1865, says: "Every dollar
of the Stace debt created to aid the Rebel
lion against the United States should be rg
pudiated finally and forever." :
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EESULT.
The foilowing article from the Pittsburg
Commercial, on the result of the recent e
lection, is worthy a perusal by our readers :
"The result of our State election has
rather astonished both sides. The politi
cians had less to do with it than with any
election within the recollection of the pres
ent generation of voters. There was little
of machinery or other appliances, none of
the usual clap-trap to which parties some
times resort, to produce excitement con
sequently there was none. The result is a
significant one not alone tor these features
of the canvass it is significant for the large
majority by which the State has been car
ried, more especially for the motives which
supplied the place of the usual appliances,
and for the end which the people had in
view.
"These motives and this end can be ex
pressed in no way so well as by saying, that
the people intended to sustain the National
Administration, inirticularly the President,
in his efforts to restore the Union. This
purpose was first instilled by no Convention
or speeches it was original with the people
themselves, and neither Conventions nor
orators could have defeated it. The Demo
cratic party claimed to be devoted to it. but
the people did not believe it ; and one sig
nificance of the result is, that this party is
regarded as having deliberately undertaken
to befool the people into the belief that the
President and his policy could be supported
through it a pretension which has been re
pudiated in the splendid victory which alike
indorses that policy and the Republican U
nion party as the only party which can be
trusted with tie management of momentous
concerns f the Nation.
"For this result we arc in a very large
measure iudebtcd to the soldiers, who, though
returned to civil life, do not regard them
selves as having been mustered out as guar
dians of the holy cause for which their
brothers died, and they, on a hundred fields,
periled everything. We cannot place too
much emphasis on this and we take this
occasion to thank, as the Republican part',
not only while rejoicing in its hours of tri
umph, but as it ever will thank them, the
soldiers, for the pare they bora in the con
test on Tuesday thelOth of October. To tl.eui
the honor of the victory belongs a victory
supplementary to tho.-e won on many a
bloody field, where the same principles
which have triumphed now were at stake.
In plain terms, the soldiers approve of the
course of Andrew Johnson, and recog
nizing the grand fact that the Republican
party is of him and he of it, they followed
the direction of principle, marched right on
as th 'y liavp lipon maroliinjor for four lon
bloody years, all the while "keeping step to
the music of the Union," and the conse
quence is, the administration has been nobly
sustained in a splendid Republican Union
victory. Let the President be encouraged
in his effort! ; let him be admonished that
the peoph of Pennsylvania, more especially
the splendid aggregation of patriotism and
intelligence represented by the soldiers, re
turned to civil life, confidently hold that
while the Union must be restored, and the
triumph of freedom made perfect, the crime
of treason must be punished.
"The effect of this victory is neither local
nor transitory. It will avert a happy in
fluence, not ouly on elections yet to take
place, but it will strenghten the President
and his Cabinet it will instruct Congress,
give tone to public sentiment, and make
certain the future. To the Democratic
party it is a complete and lasting over
throw. That party, bankrupt and .broken,
undertook to recuperate its fortunes by
drawing large drafts on the credulity of the
people, and it has gone to speedy protest
under an accumulation of sins and debt,
from which it cannot hope to recover. The
miserable shift it undertook to play off be
fore the people will prove to be the last
spasm of an object, which, after coalcing
for four years with treason, undertook to
clothe itself in the garb of loyalty, and to
be the supporter of the President, who, in
his efforts for the Union he loves, abhors it
for undisguised complicity with its baffled
enemies."
The English Confederate Cotton
Loan Takers. The Paris correspondent
of the New York Tribune says: "I think it
fairly presumable that the extraordinary list
of names of Englishmen, lately published in
New York, as having subscribed for large
sums to the Contederate lean, was a hoax
from beginning to end ; that contradictions
have been sent to the London papers from
Mr. Gladstone, the editor of the Times, Mr.
Beresford Hope, and others. To my certain
knowledge, some of the names in the list set
down for large sums are those of people not
having a dollar to bless themselves with.
This is a very curious canard.-1 believe there
can be no doubt that the list was laid before
Mr. Seward under circumstances calculated
to induce him to believe in its authenticity."
The Pope has again pronounced an allo
cution which is making some stir in Europe.
This time he warns the faithful against the
Free Masons, reminding them that several
of his predecessors have proscribed and re
proved that sect, the entrance into which
they declared should entail excommunication,
which the Pope could alone remove. The

' The Shan Van Vocht.
The English newspapers just now show to
what deplorable straits newspaper men are
reduced in their earnest desire to print
readable journals. The cholera was some
thing of a Godsend the cattle plague gave
us some cheap spelling-look science; but
the cholera did not leave the Mediterranean,
and the catte continue to die. The last sen
sation is what they call Fenianism. To those
who want a definition of this word we will
quote the authority of a dictionary-maker
who wrote one hundred years ago, "Fe
niaght, s.,vl. Fence, a champion, hero,
giant" The general acceptation of the
meaning is that the Fenians or Fenee are
foreign invaders or spoilers, and wise men
who write communications to the newspa
pers suppose that they were the ancient Fe
ni of Ulster, or the Poeui or Phoenicians of
Carthage. These Carthagenians were
giants men of wonderful prowess who
went about Ireland eating up unruly men and
maidens, instead of going down into the
bogs and earning an honest living. We
Earticularize this definition, as it seems to
e the only sensible fact taught by the Fe
nian discussion.
The activity of Lord Wodehouse has cul
minated in the arrest of a number of enthu
siastic night walkers, and the suppression of
a newspaper which will most probably be at
once reestablished with an immense circula
tion. A number of these night walkers have
also been charged with sinjring songs about
wearing the green and thebhan Van Vocht.
To relieve the minds of anxious readers we
will state that the Shan Van Vocht is sim
ply the Green Old Woman, and a rude way
of expressing the devotion of the Irish mas
ses to her unfortunate destiny when plainer
phrases would have been seditious. We
know what song-singing amounts to in our
country. When the Rebels found that
Dixie's Land and the Bonnie Blue Flag were
certain to wake up provost marshals, they
quietly perverted our own good tunes to the
basest treason.
If the praises of the Green Old Woman,
in tuneful numbers, are to be followed by
the examination of Murphy and Teddy at
Dublin castle, we shall have them in other
forms, and our next tidings may be thit nu
merous Fenians had seized upon "God Save
the Queen" and "Rule Britannia" for the
purpose of expressing their irrepressible en
thusiasm. It our experience is worth any
thing, and we know that we may speak by
the card on rebellion, the more sinking the
Fenians indulge in. the less danger of war.
When men have real muskets in their keep
in.!?, and intend to shoot, they keep quiet.
Feuiaiiisin will serve its purpose a the
theme for slashing editorials. Lord Woda
house will receive his additional star and
ribbon for faithful devotion to the Crown in
repressing the Fenian "rebellion" in Ire
land, and the .tavern-keepers of Southern
Ireland again welcome the liberal tourists
who at this time allow their fears to prevent
them from visiting the Lakes of Killarney
or the wilds of Giencrariff. Irish freedom
isasj-eta dream. The .Saxon rules with
sterner hand than ever. For centurifts his
rough, gnarled; and long fingers have ..been
encircling the throat of the Green Old Wo
man, and not even her tears, nor her neces
sities, nor her famines, nor the ever increas
ing seit" rvr-;'iriaion of hr sous to the new
Tyrone?, Little ricks, and Londonderry, in
the West not even the devo'irir "of her sol
diers on every field where the rod .lag was fly
ing, can release the grip.
As Mr. Diby Seymour so a ptly said in a
recent speech in Ireland : "iteligious ani
mosity is th hereditary curse of Ire!ai:d.
Where is the chemist that can anualyzc for
me the difference between a Protestant or a
Catholic stalk of flax ? Does not the same
blue flower adorn all fields?
Shall I ask the brave soldier who figtlis by my side
In the cause of mankind if our churches agree?
Shall I give up that friend I have valued and tried
If be kieelg cot before the s me altar as me?
Ireland will never be happy till every Irish
man acknowledges that the foundation of
every crer;d is brotherly love, and that
blight as hope is and beautiful as faith, the
greatest of these is charity."
When the spirit of Mr. Digby Seymour is
accepted by Ireland in its truest sense, we
may look forward with some hope to the
deliverance of the Green Old Woman. So
long as the green flag is the hated emblem
of one faction and the orange flag the de
spised banner of another, we can never
look for harmony. While one portion of
Ireland goes back with fondness to the days
of kings and giants, and thinks with sadness
that by the streams and valleys princes
once walked, and the Fenee came all the
way from Carthage, another portion has
no memory but the Boyne, and no glory so
dear as the defense of London deny.
Ireland is as a house divided against her
self,and the Englishman finds no more earn
est enemy of Irish freedom than men of Irish
blood. The time may come when a good
manly blow will be struck tor the. Green Old
Woman but now, when the French are en
emies instead of allies, and all Europe is
willing to aid in repressing a revolution that
would be a dangerous example to Hungary
and the Germans, any such attempt would
be madness.

The Copperheads account in various ways
for their sweeping defeat at the late election,
but among all the causes stated they do not
refer to the true one. The Cops were beat
en on account of their infamous record dur
ing the war and since. It was not apathy,
but disgust of honest and patriotic demo
crats who by thousands have left the rotten
old party and joined the Republicans. The
very name of "Democrat," once so highly
honored, now stinks in the nostrils of the
people. It can never be the ruling party of
this country.
Read Watson's new advertisement
Good Advice from an Unexpected Quartar.
Letter from one of Jeffs Cabinet.
J. II. Reagan, Postmaster General of tho
late Southern Confederacy, who has just
been released from Fort Warren, during his
confinement therein wrote a long letter to
the people of Texas, in which he gives them
some very wholesome advice. He says they
must agree to recognize the supreme author
ity of the Government of the United States
within the sphere of its power, and the
right to protect itself against disintegration
by the secession of the States. Also, they
must recognize the abolition of slavery, and
the right of those who have been slaves to
the privilege and protection of the law. He
says the only wise and safe course for them
to pursue is to accept promptly, unreserved
ly, and in good faith, the terms and policy
offered, and go forward in the work of re
organization and restoration to the Union.
In reference to the reconstruction of the
State he ?as :
"I have no doubt you can adopt a plan
which will tullymeet thedemandsof justicjand
fairness and satisfy the Northern mind, and
the requirements of the Government, with
out endangering good government and the
repose of society. This can be done by -First,
Extending the privileges and protection of
the laws over negroes as they are over the
whites, and allowing them to testify in the
cturts on the same conditions, leaving their
testimony fculject to the rules relating its
credibility.but not objecting to iuadmisibili
ty. And in this you will conform with the
wise current of modern legislation, and the
tendency of all Judicial decisions in all enligh
tened countries.
"And second, By fixing an intellectual and
moral, and, if thought tsecessr', a property
test lor the admission of all persons to the
exercise of the elec tive f rachitic, without ref
erence to race or color, which would secure
its intelligent exercise. ' '
My own view would be
First, That no person now entitled to the
privilege of voting should Le deprived of it
because of any new test I would recognize
in this the difference between taking away a
right not heretofore exercised.
Second That to authorize the admission
of persons hereafter to the elective franchise, t
they should be, nrst, males; second, twenty
one years of age; third, citizens of the Uni
ted States; fourlh, should have resided in
the stata one year, and in the district, coun
ty or precinct, six months next preceding
any e'oetion at which the3' propose to vote;
fifth, should be a;le to read in the English
language understanding!: and 'must have
paid taxes. for the lartycar preceding for
which such taxes were due and payable, sub
ject to an disqualification for crune,ot which
the person may have been duly convicted,
which may be prescribed by law.
The adaption of these moa.sure.:, in addi- j
tion to tho.se before mentioned, voiild, in my
judgment, meet the ends of justice and fair
ness; secure the rc-cstal i.-hment of the
State government, the admission of her Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress, the
suspension of military rule, and the restora
tion uf civil, const itutional. and local teli
government And it would do more. It
would secure your protection against other
great and pending evils; and is, I sm per
suaded, of the greatest consequence to your
future peace, prosperity and happiness.
After a brief argument in support of the
foregoing propositions, the adoption of which
he contends would do much toward the re
newal of the ancient relations of natior al har
mony and fraternal good will between all
parts of the country, he concludes asfDllow.s:
If the State wjll accept this policy at once
it will attain the great ends heretofore men
tioned, and it will save its own people from
years of painful fctri.e and agitation on these
que.-tions, which would at last, probably af
ter years of contention, be found to be the
only means of bringing it to an end.cvcn if it
lead to nothing worse. How infinitely bet
ter it will be for yo i, for both races, for the
present and the' future, for the whole coun
try, if you will unhesitatingly recognize the
unalterable facts as to your condition, and
the inevitable logic of events ; and hasten. as
it is in your power to do, the return of the
blessings of civil government and constitu
tional liberty ; and avoid, as it is in your
tower to do,the fearful peril which now lies
efore you.
President Johnson all Right.
Senator Wilson is a radicaL. The follow
ing, taken from the report of his speech at
Ploughkeepsie, New York, last week, we
commend heartily to the select company of
gentlemen who have been distressing them
selves about the President especially to
those who have openly disclosed the inten
tion to make war on him in Congress. It is
ludicrous to think what a "war" that would
be? The Senator utterly demolishes the
Democrats and the sore-heads with the same
blow. We quote :
"President Johnson to-day stands vchere
the Republican party placed him. Cheers.
He stands in the steps of Abraham Lincoln.
Continued cheeriug. The day before yes
terday the President welcomed a regiment
of veteran black troops just returned from
service, and who had fought in thirteen bat
tles of this war. He told them that this
was their country as much as it wa3 the
white man's country. Now, are these New
York, Chicago-platform Democrats support
ing the President on these declarations?
Do they dare, avow they support him on
them? Mr. Johnson went further, and
told these black men that all men must stand
upon their merits; that it was a law of
heaven as well as of earth that a man's
standing was to be measured by his merit,
whether white or black. Do these Demo
crats support the President on that doctrine!
Not a bit of it What else docs Mr. John
son say and do? He requires to the rebel
State constitutions amendments abolishing
slavery forever. ICheers. Do these Dem
ocrats support him in this ? He would like
these men to avow at once on what they
do support the President. They have got
hold of some indistinct, indefinate idea that
he is not quite so radical in his opinions as
the leading men of the Republican party.
