TO OUB FBIENDS.
. As this Is the last issue of the Journal
-before the election, we will address a few
words to our Republican friends throughout
the county.' The present political contest is
a highly important one, and may decide
whether we shall have peace and prosperity
in the future, or not. Although we have
defeated the rebels upon the battle-field.yet
they arc potent enough if united with their
old allies of the North, the Copperheads,
to endanger the permanency of the Union,
should the control of the Government fall
into their hands. In view of this fact, it
behooves the friends of free institutions to
stand firm by their principles to be active,
energetic, vigilant, from now to the elec
tion, and use every effort to have every
Union voter at the polls on next Tuesday.
If our friends in this county, as well as
throughout the State, will do their whole
duty, a most glorious victory will be the re
sult, and Gen. Geary will be triumphantly
elected by an overwhelming majority. Then
we say once more, go to work now and nev
er cease in your efforts until the polls shall
have closed on the second Tuesday of Oc
tober. DON'T BE DECEIVED.
Our enemies are working day and night
with a view of defeating some of the Re
publican candidates for Congress, for, after
all, in this is centered every hope they have
of restoring the Rebels to power, and of
getting the control of the Federal Govern
ment into their own hands again. To ac
complish this, they are resorting to every
species of falsehood, deception and fraud.
Lies of the most infamous character will be
freely circulated on the day of election ; the
prejudices of individuals will be appealed
to ; and the impression is forcing iu-elf up
on the public mind that voters are being
imported from other States. This shows
the importance of vigilance and activity on
the part of our Republican triends every
where. Let them be up and doing. See to
it that every man is at his post that not a
voter is absent from the polls on the day of
election. Desperate as the enemy may be.
we feel that a sure and glorious victory is in
store for us on the second Tuesday of Octo
ber, it we only do our duty.
THE GAME OF BEAG.
The Democratic leaders have been busy,
.daring the past week, circulating among
the faithful, a report to the effect that they
had ."a big thing" on hand which would de
feat General Geary by a large majority,
This is the old game of "brag," to which
they used to resort, in former times, on the
eve of elections. Having abandoned it for
some years they concluded to try-it this fall,
with a view of stirring up their dishearten
ed followers and getting them to turn out
on the day of election. Further than this
it will amount to. nothing, for we can as
sure our friends that, from every section of
the State, the most cheering accounts reach
us of the prospects of Gen. Geary and the
t various Republican nominees for Congress.
. THE BOUNTY FALSEHOOD.
' The Copperheads are still busily engaged
in circulating the falsehoood that white sol
diers are paid but $100 bounty, while the
negro soldier gets $300. We have frequent
ly, in private conversations, asked them to
produce the official record to substantiate
their assertions, and thus far they have fail
ed to do so. Whenever yon hear the same
assertion made, it is only necessary to ask
foe the official record to expose this flimsy
falsehood. .: ? -
TO THE POLLS!!
Friends of the Union, remember that
next Tuesday is the day of election. Go to
the polls early, stay all day, and see that ev
ery friend of liberty deposits his ballot for
Geary, Soofield, M'Kay, and the whole Re
publican ticket Let not a vote be lost
The greater the vote, the greater the victory.
. THE ISSUE.
The friends of Gen. Geary favor" the
Constitutional amendment, because it guar
antees to all citizens by law the right of
life, liberty and property, and thereby legal
ly abolishing and forever prohibiting slavery
in the Union.
The friends of Clymcr are opposed to the
amendment, and therefore deny citizens the
right to be protected in life, liberty and
property and favor the revival of slavery in
the Union. ,
The friends of Gen. Geary favor the Con
stitutional amendment,because it makes the
voting population the basis of representa
tion, thereby preventing the negroes from
being represented in Congress by traitors.
The friends of Clymcr are opposed to the
amendment, and therefore favor negroes be
ing represented in Congress by the rebels
who fought to destroy the Union.
The friends of Gen. Geary favor the Con
stitutional amendment, because it prevents
perjured rebels from holding office under
the National Government, unless by a vote
of two-thirds of Congress.
The friends of Clymer are opposed to the
amendment, and therefore favor perjured
rebels holding the National offices, unre
stricted. The friends of Gen. Geary favor the Con
stitutional amendment, because it acknowl
edges the validity of the National debt, in
cluding the pensions and bounties to our sol
diers. ...... .-.
The frieuds of Clymer are opposed .to the
amendment, and therefore are in favor of
repudiating all our National obligations.
The friends of Gen. Geary favor the Con
stitutional amendment, because it declares
the rebel debts as illegal and void and shall
never be assumed or paid by the National
Government or any State.
The friends of Clymer are opposed to the
amendment, and therefore arc in favor of
paying the rebel debts by the labor of. the
North.
Such is the issue before the people for de
cision. Freemen of Clearfield county, and
of Pennsylvania, are you in favor of the
Constitutional amendment, or are j'ou oppo
sed to it ? If you favor its adoption vote
for Gen. Geary ; 'if opposed to it, vote for
Clymer. The issue is a plain one ; and with
you rests the responsibility of deciding for
or against your own interests. Which will
you do ? Answer at the ballot-box on Tues
day. - -
TO AEMS, SOLDIEES !
Glorious Boys in Blus ! You who fought
the armed foe on the bloody field of battle
you who defeated the rebel hordes of J eff.
Davis, Lee and Johnson, when they attempt
ed to destroy the Government of our Revo
lutionary fathers you who 6aved the old
flag from disgrace and defeat we appeal to
you to turn out on the day of election and
aid in defeating at the polls an enemy who
would restore the Rebels to power, and
place in their hands the future control of
the Government 1 This is the true issue
now before the people this is the question
now to be decided by your ballots on the 9th
day of October and we fee! confident you
will do your full share to have it determined
in the richt way. We know vou will vote
as you fought. No true soldier of the Re
public will do otherwise.
A VILE SLANDEE.
The Copperhead leaders, of Clearfield, are
busily engaged in circulating a story that
Capt. Hutchison, one of the speakers at the
Republican meeting on Wednesday evening
lat, "was never at the front, that he was
only in the three month's service." This is
a vile slander. Capt Hutchison was not
only in the three months service, but enlist
ed as a Lieutenant in Co. C, 49th P. V. for
three years, and was promoted to a Cap
taincy for gallant services in action. These
facts can be substantiated by several mem
bers of his company, who now belong to the
Soldiers' Geary Club in this place, if neces
sary. AN ADMISSION.
Notwithstanding the unfavorableness of
the weather, the Republican procession is
admitted, by Democrats, to have exceeded
their demonstration on Tuesday. One of
the leaders said, in a very emphatic manner,
as the Republican procession entered town,
"Although the Democrats number nearly
'.'two to one in this county,yet the Republi
'cans always beat us two to one in a proces
"sion" a compliment highly appreciated
by us, although not intended for our ears. ;
DON'T TEADE VOTES.
As heretofore stated, there will be an ef
fort made on the part of the Copperheads
to trade votes. That is, they will vote for
Geary if Republicans will vote tor Scott,
for Congress. Don't do it! They know
they can't elect Clymer, but hope by tra
ding votes to defeat Scofield. Again we
say, don t trade votes, but deposit a full
Republican ballot.
Soldiers ! Stand Back.
Among the new Philadelphia Appoint
ments was the name of Colonel W. A.
Gray, the only soldier in the list, and he a
meritorious one. The slate, at the last mo
ment, was' changed, by taking off Colonel
Gray's name, and putting on Mr. Snowden's
an old incumbent in the mint under Buchan
an. The soldiers have to stand back fnr
such as they under Copperhead rule.
THE EEPUBLICAN MEETING. '.
Pursuant to previous notice, the Union
men of Clearfield county met in Mass Con
vention at the Court House, in Clearfield
borough, on Wednesday evening, September
26th, 1S66. :
The day was very unpropitious rain hav
ing fallen up to 2 o'clock, p. m. But, not
withstanding the unfavorable condition of
the weather, a goodly number of persons
came to town during the day, and, towards
evening, a delegation from Curwensville,
and points above, arrived, which, in addi
tion to a few vehicles hastily gathered up,
entered town in procession amidst the wav
ing of flags and the ' enlivening strains of
martial music,and cheers. The procession,
along its line of march, was ever and anon
greeted with cheers and the waving of hand
kerchiefs by the ladies. In the procession
were 35 vehicles containing 265 persons.and
90 men on horse-back. With few excep
tions, the procession was made up of voters,
a large proportion of them soldiers.
In the evening, and just pieceeding the
opening of the meeting, the "boys in blue"
turned out and formed a torch-light proces
sion ; and headed by an excellent band of
martial music, and amidst the light of their
blazing torches, marched through our
streets, presenting, truly, a magnificent ap
pearance. All honors are due to these sur
viving heroes and defenders of the Union.
After having passed along our principal
streets, they entered the Court House, and
soon every available position in the capacious
room was crowded to overflowing.
Tho hour for opening the meeting having
arrived, it was called to order by D. Faust,
Esq., the Chairman of the Republican coun
ty Committee, who announced the following
list of officers, which, upon motion, was
unanimously adopted :
President, II. B. Swoope, Esq :
Vice Presidents, Capt. J. II. Heasley,
James Glenn, L. W. Weld, Capt D. Mc
Gaughey, Jacob Mock, Edw. W. Graham,
Edw. McGarvey, Alex. Murray, John Bar
moy, S. B. Lingle, J. A. Caldwell, Daniel
Graham, John Tyler, J. W. T. Hollopeter,
J. B. Martin, Zack Bailey, J ohn Dale, and
R. J. Shaffner. ' 1
Secretaries, J ames F. Ross, Win. A. Nel
son, Osburn Heel, Jacob Birgfi, Capt J. L.
Rex, and S. J. Row.
Upon taking the chair, Mr. Swoope, in a
few brief remarks, stated tfce object of the
meeting, and then introduced the Hon.
Glcnni W. Scofield, our member of Con
gress, who, was welcomed by three hearty
cheers from the immense audience. -
I Mr. Scofield then addressed tho people
present upon me political issues or the day, m
a very dignified and respectful manner using
no harsh epithets or immoderate expressions
against his political opponents. He discuss
ed the Constitutional amendment at some
length, and clearly demonstrated its justness
and moderation towards Southern rebels,
and the effect it would have upon the fu
ture statu of Congress, in that it made the
voting population the bpsis of representa
tion. His remarks were explicit, well-timed
and to the point, and made a favorable im
pression upon all who heard them ; and. we
doubt not, will have the effect to dispel
much of the false impression that has been
created against Mr. Scofield, by his political
opponents, in this county. During his re
marks he was frequently interrupted with
enthusiastic applause.
Capt Hutchison, of Bellefonte, was then
introduced. His remarks were more es
pecially addressed to his fellow soldiers
largo numbers of whom were present from I
all parts of the county. His points, in re
ference to the political issues now before
the country, were well taken, clear and
pointed. He demonstrated plainly who
were the true friends of the soldiers, and
urged them to support Gen. Geary for Gov
ernor, as he is worthy of their votes. Mr.
H., is a young man of more than ordinary
ability, and a fluent and pleasant speaker.
His remarks were received with great ap
plause by the audience.
Hon. II. Souther, of Ridgway, was the
next speaker introduced. He entertained
the audience in his usual able and felicitous
style, for a short time ; and was applauded
to the echo, ever and anon, as he illustrated
the political status of the Copperhead party
now and during the war. On account of the
lateness of the hour, Mr. Souther's re
marks were brief, yet pungent and explicit.
II. B. Swoope, Esq;, being loudly called
for by the audience, rose and made a few
brief remarks the people cheering vocifer
ously as he"photographed"f ome of the lead
ers of the Copperhead party in this county.
Mr. Swoope, although urgently solicited,
declined making any extended remarks, on
account of the lateress of the hour, but pro
posed three cheers for Geary, Scofield, and
the whole Republican ticket, which were
heartily given ; after which the meeting ad
journed.
No doubt, this meeting had a good ten
dency, and will produce its results on the
second Tuesday of October. Bat for the
inclemency of the weather, the demonstra
tion on Wednesday would have been the
most imposing of any that ever occurred in
this county.
The Adjutant General of the State of Tex
as has declared that he is ready at a mo
ment's notice to march five thousand men to
aid any movement "to drive the damn Yan
kees (the regular army) from that State."

? THE COP MEETING." '.
The Democracy assembled in Mass Meet
ing, in Clearfield, on Tuesday evening. Sept '
25th, as per previous notice. This being ,
Court week, and the weather very pleasant,
a Targe number of person were present
Their procession, however, was rather a sliui
affair a failure. It consisted of 36 vehicles
of various descriptions, containing 217 men
and boys, the latter being largely in excess,
and 40 horsemen. In fact, we believe,
there were not 100 voters in the procession.
The meeting was called to order by G. B.
Goodlander, the Chairman of the County
Committee, after which
T. J. McCullough, introduced Hon. Cj
rus L. Pershing, of Cambria county. Mr.
Pershing is rather a pleasant speaker, but.
it was with difficulty he could be understood
any distance from the stand, on account of
the rapidity with which he spoke. His re
marks were received with some slight mani
festations of applause especially on "swing
ing around the circle" on to the "nigger."
Next came Mr. Scott, the candidate of
the "amalgamation" or "fusionist" party.
He spoke but very few words merely re
minding the audience that he was tired,
that he had traveled all night, and that he
was a candidate for Congress after which
"exhausting" effort he subsided in his for
mer position on the stand having forgotten
to ''swing around the circle" to the "nig
ger," ;;
Then, a Mr. Marshall, from Erie, we be
lieve, was indroduced. His remarks had
reference, more especially to what occurred
in South America and Hayti during the last
several centuries. But, after having ex
hausted the entire ancient history of the
above named Republics, he succeeded in
"swinging around the circle" on to the in
evitable "nigger," and then gave way to
the next speaker.
At this juncture, T. J. McCullough ad
vanced to the front part of the stage and
commenced some remarks. Being at some
distance from the stand at the moment, we
are unable to give the subject of his remarks
at the opening; but his gesticulations were
"tremendjus." , When we got within hear
ing distance he was just "swinging around
the circle" where the "nigger" comes in,
and soon he retired from the front of the
stage. - . -
Now came Father Test. This venerable
individual opened in his usual dignified,
self-important, and positive style, and then,
rolling his eyes upward like a dying kitten,
suddenly' began telling an anecdote, which
had the effect of producing some laughter
and applause. But he soon "swung around
the circle" on to the "nigger" a id retreated.
Lastly, Dr. Boyer, was trotted out, and
began a harrangue to the audience in his
old style, but he, too, soon "swung around
the circle" on to the "nigger," and after
demolishing that table "indoowiddooal
muchly," be retreated from tho scene of
carnage, to the scene of conviviality.
In fact, all the speakers seemed to labor
under some hallucination and hence the
"nigger" was the only object that was pre
sented to their view. Poor souls, how they
are worked into spasms over the African.
Wherever they go, the sable form of Sambo
rises before them as a dreadful and terrify
ing spectre. If walking the streets, they
seem to be fearful of Sambo encroaching up
on the white man's rights. If sitting at the
table they eat with a rapidity that is sure
to contract dyspepsia lest some colored in
dividual might enter and claim the honor
of dining with them. When they lay
down at night they are haunted in their
dreams by forms of a negro President, negro
Congress, negro Governor, and the whole
African race riding in golden chariots with
white men for footmen. Yea, whether
sleeping or waking, sitting or walking, lying
or Standing, the black man is ever present,
and they stare about with glaring eye balls,
and in frantic tones continually exclaim,
"nigger!" "nigger!! "nigger!!!"
Poor Cops ! we really pity them. Some
ignis fatuus, in the form of Sambo, has set
tled in the "marshy grounds" which over
tops their shoulders, and they imagine
that "negro suffrage" and "negro equality"
are the issues involved in the present po
litical contest But the intelligent portion
of the people of Pennsylvania know better,
and hence are not in the least frightend by
the silly cries of "nigger" by these pretend
ed advocates of white men's rights.
The real issue now before the people is:
Shall Loyal men, or Rebels rule this coun
try ? Loyal men saved the Union from de
struction by rebels, and the people have de
termined that loyal men only shall rule the
affairs of State.
