"The Handwriting on the Wall."
President Johnson appealed to the peo
ple to decide the Issue between himself
and Congress. He not only had others can
vassing the country, but he undertook an
extensive electioneering tour himself, in the
belief, doubtless, that he could carry the
masses with him, and the immense patron
age at his disposal was used in the most
shameful manner with the object in view.
IIow has he succeeded ? Vermont recorded
its verdict first, and it was sharply against
the President. Maine spoke next, and in
the unprecedented Union majority she has
given, there is an energy, and emphasis.and
a directness that cannot be mistaken. The
rebuke of the President is so complete,so d e
cisive, that he ought to realize by this time,
if he is not wholly insensible to passing
events, that the people are determined to
stand by and to sustain their faithful Rep
resentatives in Congress.
"Swinging Around the Circle.""
President Johnson, iiv several of his
speeches, spoke of the States being a "mag
ic circle," and that, after fighting Rebels at
the South, he- was "-swinging around the
eircle," to fight traitors at the North.
"Swinging around the circle," k seems,
is becoming a rather popular exercise.
Maine has done it in fact, it looks as though
she had done it several times but in the
opposite direction from that taken by A. J.
Vermont did it a short tino before; and
Pennsylvania, New-York, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, etc., are going to do it also. Let
the President wait and see if they don't.
"A Marked Seniatfon."
"Henry Ward Reecher'a letter has pro
duced a marked sensation in Maine. The
conservatives have had many thousand
copies of it printed and circulated over the
State as an election document. Copper
head Organ.
We highly enjoy the Maine sensation, and
hope that the "conservatives" will have
"many thousand copies" of the same letter
printed and circulated in Pennsylvania be
fore the October election, as it would be the
means of largely increasing Gen. Geary's
majority.
Don't Trade Off.
The Democrats, knowing that Hiester Cly
mer hasn't the ghost of a chance of being
elected Governor, will probably offer to Re
publicans that, if the latter will vote for
their Congressional candidate, they will get
an equal number of Democrats to vote for
Gen. Geary. Whilst we feci confident that
nil fimiru T?Amilil!ar will tit 11 a trAt rvfl Vn f
will vote the whole ticket, we deem it only
prudent to put all upon their guard against
any scheme of this character.
"Another Eebellion."
Montgomery Blair, in his speech, at Port
land, Maine, predicted that there would be
a rebellion in the North. He was right for
once ; for the rebellion now going on against
"me" and "my policy" is one of the most
formidable on record, as is instanced by the
result of the two great battles just fought
in Maine and Vermont the people being
the victors over the Presidential policy. ;
Andrew Johnson in a speech made at
NashvilleTenn., in September 1864, said:
.,-- Whenever you find a marl anywhere nra-
ting about the Constitution of the United
States, spot him; he's a traitor."

1 The Democratic Candidate for Congress.
The conferees of the Democracy, at their
meeting in Ridgway on last Thursday, nom
inated Win. L. Scott, of the city of Erie,
as tneir candidate tor Uongress. i e are
not acquainted with Mr. Scott, but presume
he is a gentleman. We understand that he
is a native of the South, having been born
Tl 1 . .
in asnmgton city : was, wnen a boy, a
page in the House of Representatives ; from
thence was taken, under the auspices of
Gen. Reed, then a member of Congress, to
Erie, where he has resided ever since. Af
ter the outbreak of the Rebellion he raised
and equipped a splendid battery, which did
good service undr General Sherman. Mr.
Scott took good care, however, not to go in
to the tear himself, but remained at home
accumulating wealth so rapidly that we are
informed he last year returned an income of
194,000. JIN political antecedents are' mix
ed," but as he has accepted the nomination
of the so-called Democracy, he must be pre
sumed to be in favor of the immediate ad
mission of Rebels to Congress, and of giv
ing the future control of the Federal Gov
ernment to the bad men who attempted its
destruction. As the advocate of such a
policy," no friend of liberty, Justice and
humanity will have any difficulty in deter
mining whether he shall "support Mr. Scott,
or use his influence to re-elect Mr. Scofield,
the present able and faithful member.
Our townsman Jas. B. Graham, Esq., was
also spoken of in connection with the nomi
nation, but foreseeing the inevitable defeat
that is in store for the candidate of the Cop
perhead party in this district, he wisely
withdrew his name before a ballot was ta
ken. Mr. Graham is one of our best citi
zens, neighbors and businessmen, for whom
we entertain the kindliest feelings ; but we
cannot refrain from expressing our regret
that his usual good sense did not impel him,
from the outstart, to reject with disdain any
political association with the leaders who
are now running the once proud Democrat
ic party iu the interest of reconstructed reb
els and unrepentant traitors.

We give the above for the information of

District we have the most flattering accounts
of Mr. Scofield' s prospects, indicating his
re-election by an. increased majority. All
that i" needed is at full turnout at the polls
on the Second Tuesday of October. Go to
work, then, at nee, and never cease work

will be a most glorious victory over the ene

A Stirring Speech,
The A. J. Democracy organized a Clymer
Club at the Court House in Clearfield bor
ough, on Tuesday . evening, Sept, Ilth,
which was addressed by Goodlander, the
editorof the Republican. Our underground
reporter, though not in a favorable position
for hearing, succeeded in getting the speech
in full, which we lay before our readers, to
wit ;
"Mr. President Sir : I say nigsrer ! Sir,
allow mc to say nigger ! And, Mr. Presi
dent, if I tuay be permitted to say nigger-!
I would reiterate most emphatically nig
ger ! ! And in conclusion I take the liber
ty of saying once again NIGGAII ! ! !
Boo NIGGAII I ! ! !" Tremendous out
bursts of applause.
As the Lemocratic spouters, who are per
ambulating our county in the hopeless cause
of Clvnier, seem to have an unusually severe
attack of "nigger on the brain," we would
kindly advise them, in order to save trouble,
to adopt George's concise style of presenting
the niggah to their audiences. The ef
fect cannot fail to be overpowering.
Hard Run for an Argument.
The editor of the Clearfield Republican,
after noticing last week the robbery at the
First National Bank in this place on the Sth
instant, sagely concludes that
"The Greely reformers have indeed
wrought a great work among us. A daily
catalogue of crimes is the legacy they have
bequeathed our country."
This is a way of attempting to make po
litical capital that has the merit of original
ity, certainly. At the same time, it would
only have been fair on the part of the Re
publican had it informed its readers that all
of the offenders are. Democrats! Besides
this, it seems to us that the editor of that
paper might just as logically contend that
"the Greely reformers" were the cause of
bank or store tills being robbed a dozen or
fifteen years ago, as to urge that the "daily
catalogue of crimes' now committed are at
tributable to their teachings. The one
would be as sensible as the other, and-?just
about as truthful. .
Item. In his recent speech at Erie Pres
ident Johnson said:
"I tell you all the powers in Hell cannot
turn me from my purpose."
Doubtless they don't want to. -
f Prospects in Pennsylvania.
The New York Herald, (Copperhead,) in
referring to "the Gubernatorial contest in
Pennsylvania, says:
"The Democrats of Pennsylvania, in nomi
nating Hiester Clymer, a peace man during
the war, against Gen. Geary,one of themcst
distinguished Union soldiers of the war, did
for the radicals the very best thing that
coulit be done. No one supposes that there
is a ghost of a chance for Clymer against
Geary, and no political philosopher has yet
risen to show that while Clvnier cannot save
himself he will strenghten the Conservative
Congressional ticket in any part of Pennsyl
vania. In short, he is a dead weight urjon
his party. '
The Herald has he sagacity to perceive,
and the independence to utter the truth in
reference to the contest in Pennsylvania.
But, while the Copperhead leaders despair
of electing Clymer. they hope to gain sever
al Congressmen in this State, and to accom
plish that end they will resort to every cor
rupting influence with which they are fami
liar. There is little doubt that such an ef
fort is to be made in this district, and to
bring about such a result they have nomina
ted a so-called Conservative and will endeav
or to trade off Clymer votes for Congression
al votes. We hope, therefore, that our
friends will be on the alert and whilst it is
morally certain that Mr. Scofield, the Union
candidate, will be re-elected, it is important
to have such an overwhelming majority, as
will leave no doubt as to the sentiments of
his constituents.
"President or King."
When the Presidential party were at Bath
Creek, Michigan, Mr. Seward, in response
to the call of his name, made the following
speech :
Fellow-Citizens : Gen. Grant never
speaks against me, nor I asainst him. Here
he is. Cheers fir Gen. Grant. I should
like to know how many of you are for the
Union. I have seen much enthusiasm in
Michigan in regard to the Republic of Mexi
co, and 1 wonder how many of you are lovers
of your country. As many as are will please
give three cheers for the United States.
Three cheers, j How many States? Voices
"the whole number, 25 series. No, we
mean 36. All of you who are in favor of a
United States of 25 States signify it by hur
rahing. Scattering and derisive cheers.
Now, I want to know how many are in fa
vor of 36 States, without a star obliterated.
Those who are in favor of 36 will please say
aye. Loud and rather boisterous, "Aye.'J
Do you want Andrew Johnson President or
King? Loud voices: "1 'resident or noth
ing" "President or King !" forsooth. And a
King implies a Court, as a matter of course.
In that event Mr. Seward could become
Duke of Auburn ; Weed, Lord Bishop of
Albany ; Sir niester Clymer, Bart. ; Count,
William A. Wallace ; and some of the smal
ler fry of Democratic politicians about our
town would answer very well for pages or
something of that kind. All of n hich would
sound very nicely to the people over the
left. "President or King," indeed. That's
a "circle" around which Mr. Johnson and
his new friends will never "swing."
Overhauling A Falsehood,
The following explains itself. It disposes
of a falsehood which has been extensively
circulated in support of a bad cause :
Rooms Union State Central Com- )
MiTTE, 1105 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, Sept. 13, 1863; )
C. W. Ashcorn, Esq., Hopewell, Pa:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 11th inst, is
duly received, enclosing that shameless false
card on the subject of bounties given by
Congress to white and colored soldiers.
Our political adversaries are acting upon
the adage, "A lie well adhered to is as good
as the truth." As Military agent of Penn
sylvania at Washington for more thoo two
years, I became familiar with all the laws
of Congress granting bounties to soldiers,
t most positively affirm that no act or acts
of Congress discriminate against white sol
diers or in favor of colored soldiers. All
assertions to the contrary are falsehoods, in
tended to mislead and deceive.
You are at liberty to make any use you
please of this communication.
Yours, truly,
Fr, Jordan, Chairman.
"Don't Cate for Dignity."
President Johnson, in his speech at Cleve
land, Ohio, on the 30th Sept., said:
"I come before you as an American citi
zen simply, and not as the Chief Magis
trate. ... I want to know when or where,
or under what cicunistances, Andrew John
sonnot as Chief Executive, but in any ca
pacity ever deserted any principle or vio
lated the Constitution of his country. . . .
Then I would ask why not hang Thad Ste
vens and Wendell Phillips? I tell you, my
countrymen, I have been fighting the South
and they have been whipped and crushed,
and they acknowledge their defeat and ac
cept the terms of the Constitution ; and now,
as go around the circle, having fought trai
tors at the South, I am prepared to fight
traitors at the North. God willing, with
your help we will do it. . . . You may talk
about the dignity of the President. I care
not for dignity.
New York. The Democratic Conven
tion of New York have sacrificed General
John A. Dix as the candidate for Governor,
and selected Hon. John T. Hoffman, May
or of New York city, as their candidate.
With him as an opponent we will have
an easy victory. Around Dix cluster all the
memories of a long life of good services.
Hoffman has nothing to recommend him.
He is the head of a corrupt clique in New
York city, and out of the cify he is the
weakest man that could have been put np.
Governor Fenton, with his clear record as
State Executive, will have not the least
trouble in knocking down this man of straw
set up by the conservatives.

What a Democratic paper has to say about
the Proposed Amendment.
From the N. T. Herald, ot Sept 13. "
THE RECENT" AND COMING ELECTIONS THE
PROSPECTS.
It is an historical axiom that revolutions
never go backwards. Its truth has been
affirmed in the great political events ot this
country since the adjournment of Congress,
and especially in the recent State elections.
It was reasonable to suppose that the Ja
cobinical violence, recklessness and ferocity
of such political reformers as I Jen Duller in
the East, Senator Chandler in the West.
anu Parson Brownlow in the South, would
have a damaging effect upon their party
when brought to judgment before the peo
ple; but it is strikingly apparent from the
result of the late elections in Maine that
the popular mind is controlled by larger
questions, against which the sayings or do
ings of this or that fanatical politician go
for nothing. That great body of the Ameri
can people to which we are indebted for the
suppression of the mot formidable rebellion
in the history of mankind, are evidently de
termined to have substantial securities for
the future before they pronounce the good
work of the resteration of the Union com
plete that, in short, Southern reconstruc
tion shall rest upon the solid foundation of
the federal constitution, regardless of the dis
turbing forces of radicals, copperheads, reb
els, ruffians or fanatics, North or South.
From the elections which have occured
since the constitutional amendment was
adopted by Congress for the reconstruction
of the Southern States, we are satisfied that
that amendment is to become the basis of
Southern restoration that it will carry and
be carried by all the Northern State elec
tions yet to come, and that, with New Jer
sey leading olf, it will be ratified by them
all and become part and parcel of the su
preme law of the laud. Nor have we any
fear of the consequences. There is nothing
afier all, so very objectionable in this amend
ment nothing which President Johnson
himself has not, at one time or another, re
commended to some Southern States or to
Congress, and nothing upon which there
should have been a disagreement between
the President and Congress.
this amendment is the reconstruction
plan and platform ot Congress, and there iij
no good reason, we say, why it should not
have been adopted also by the President
inasmuch as he stands committed in some
shape to all its proviions. It is not the
platform of Thaddeus Stevens, Sumner, or
any of the noisy radicals of Congress. 1 hey
can do nothing, lt was adopted against
their remonstrances and .in spite of their
threats, lt embodies substantiallv, in fact.
the President's original programme, and if
carried in these coming October a id Novem
ber elections as we predict it will be, from
Massachusetts and New i'ork westward
we trust that the administration, in defer
ence to the will of the people, will come
back to it. Why not? Surely this amend
ment engrafted upon the constitution will
be amply Sufficient for the restoration of the
Union, internal peace, sectional harmony
and the security of the government and the
Treasury for many generations to come,
against all disturbing factions of either sec
tion. Parson Prownlow, in leading off with
the State of Tennessee for the ratification,
has shown that a good thing may be done
by a bad man and for a bad motive ; but
that Tennessee should thus lead off for this
amendment is a very remarkable and signifi
cant fact that New Jersey should next fol
low is almost as strange ; but from good or
bad designs, thus started, the amendment
will surely go through.
The President's q-uarrel and rupture with
Congress was an unfortunate mistake. From
recent events, South and North, it is clear
that it will prove a fatal blunder to his ad
niinistration, unless he abandons it as the
issue before the people. The old contests
in England between King and Parliament
are full of instruction on this subject. Had
Mr. Johnson taken our friendly advice, and
made the distinguishing features of his ad
ministration a vigorous foreign policy and a
sound financial system, he might ere this
have become as popular a President as An
drew Jackson, lie has yat a fair field be
fore" him-in which to retrieve his misfor
tunes. Let him begin de novo, by a recon
struction of his Cabinet, beginning with his
particular marplot, the Secretary of State;
and let him give us a Cabinet and a policy,
foreign and domestic, shaped to meet the
exigencies of the day and the developments
of public opinion, and bis administration
may still become universally acceptable and
gloriously successful. We speak to him as
a friend, and, we think, in the voice of the
people.
Giving it Up.
The Republican victory in Maine has
been so overwhelming, that the New York
Herald gives up in despair. In a leading
editorial it says :
The results of the Maine election are very
decisive and very significant. They are
startling and incomprehensible to the con
servatives, and indicate a popular ground
swell wholly unexpected by the radicals
themselves. . . . Had the Republicans sim
ply had something like their standing ma
jority in Maine, the result could have" been
explained by the simple statement that the
uatue was iougnt Detween the Uoion party
of the war and the old Copperhead peace
Democracy. But the enormous gains to the
Republican vote througliout tlie State re
quires a larger explanation, . . , Whatever
may have been the real causes, however,
operating to bring about the extraordinary
results of this Maine election, it is too deci
sive against the Democracy and conserva
tives to be limited to Maine. We apprehend
that as in all our political . contests of tlie
past of a national character, the result in
Maine indicates tlie general drift of the elec
tions coming after it througliout the North
ern States. The prospect now of a conser
vative majority in the next Congress i3 very
doubtful; the prospect of another radical
Congress is better than it has appeared at
any time since December last. In short
this Maine election of 18G6 will- probably
mark another new chapter in our political
history, and perhaps anotlter reorganization
of parties and another reconstruction nf

railroad track by the Cambria Iron Com

beyond the depot, and President Johnson

standing on the rear platform of the car.
wheu the depot platform, covering the

seven or eight hundred persons men, wo
men and children with planks, beams and
rails, into the opening beneath, the depth
ot the same being perhaps 20 feet. Three
persons were killed instantly, four others
died soon after, a number were maimed for
life, others had legs and arms broken, whilst
altogether nearly 300 were more or less in
jured. The names of the killed are Davie
Metzcar, Nathaniel Duncan, and Mrs.

rrank Benford, aged about 17 years,
nephew of the editor of the Raftsman s

A force of surgeons was sent to.Johnstown
by the Railroad company to assist in caring
