CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,1867.
VOL. 14.-NO. 4.
CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. 25, 18G7.
A "Wtrd to Voters.
It would be a fearful, and, perhaps, a
latal error, to ignore at the coming elections,
ihe grave issues recently raised by Andrew
Johnson and his Democratic advisers. The
highest interests of the country demand that
the vote of Pennsylvania should be polled
at the coming election, on the leading and
predominant question, whether reconstruc
tion shall be completed in accordance with
the wishes of the loyal people of the United
.Stales, or the will of traitors, after all, pre
vail; whether the loyal commanders, or a
treacherous Executive shall be sustained by
a popular verdict at the ballot-box. The
fonstruction placed upon the Republican di
visions in Maine and California should ad
monish every patriot that this is no time to
tarn aside from the true path of duty, on
account of personal dislike of particular
nominees, or diverse sentiments on side
inaea. Let every eye be turned to the im
perilled banner of the Republic, and every
soul nerved with the resolve to press on
steadily until the nation is fully and finally
rescued from the machinations of its invet
erate enemies.
Where Ee Belongs.
The Democracy are vigorously attempting
tj disown Andrew Johnson, whose antics
before high Heaven are now too great for
explanation or defence, but it will not do.
He belongs to them by virtuo of his wrong
doing, livery man who commits a crime
gainst the country is by that act a brevet
Democrat. The responsibility of this fact
nannet be evaded. The men who assassina
ted the President, who murdered provost
marshals, who fled to Canada, who robbed
bank and burned towns along the border,
s'l claimed and had the moral support of
the Democratic party. Had there been no
dudoyal, unscrupulous Democratic party,
these crimes would never have been com
mitted. Had there been no Jeremiah S.
Black, no Wood, co Coxes and Yallanditr
taras, there would have been no Andrew
Johnfon. The Presidential monstrosity is
only the nicer of the disease of Democracy.
Every patriot and lover of his country
should vote for Henry W. Williams, thereby
showing hi3 disapproval of the course of
Andrew Johnson and his Copperhead allies.
Rebels andJCops rejoicing.
The Democratic presses of the north are
jubilant over the reduced Republican ma
jorities in Maine and Vermont, but the
rampant rebel journals of the South are
perfectly wild with joy over what they fan
cy to be signs of downfall of our noble or
ganisation. Already in anticipation they
affect to see what they term the "dawn of a
brighter day" a day when the black and
brutal banner of the stars and bars will be
triumphant in spite of the mighty struggles
of a patriotic people. This lesson should
"not be lost upon the voters of Pennsylvania.
Again muBt the victories won on the battle
field be cemented at the polls if we wish to
conquer and maintain a substantial and en
during peace. To accomplish this much
desired end peace cast your votes for
Henry W. Williams on the second Tuesday
of October next.
The Koad to Peace.
A Southern correspondent of the -New
York Journal of Commerce, a Democratic
journal, gays that "if the politicians will
nly let the South quietly reconstruct their
il, the crops, instead of being worth four
hundred million of dollars per annum, will
in a short time be worth a thousand millions!
The negroes certainly have a greater incen-tU-e
to work now than when they were slaves.11
He adds : "What we want, above all things,
is peace. Political anarchy is ruinous."
The true and only road to peace is to be
ound in a faithful execution of the laws of
Congress. In opposing and obstructing these
Measures, the Democracy are now, as be
fore the war, endeavoring to lure on the
South to terrible disaster. Pennsylvanians
can do much towards the peace refered to
above by electing Hon! Henry. W. Wil
liams to the Supremo Bench.
State Debt reduced nearlv Two Million !
Gov. Geary issued a proclamation Mon
day, Sept. 16th, as required by law, setting
forth that the sum of one million seven hun
dred and ninety-four thousand sit hun
dred ami forty-four dollars and fifty cents,
U 1,194,644,50) of the principal debt of the
Commonwealth was paid, canceled, extin
guished, and finally discharged during the
Jear ending September 2, 1867. Tax-payers
will please take notice that this heavy re
action has been accomplished . under Re
publican rule.
The Soldiers Declare for Themselves
On Saturday evening a convention of all
the Posts of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic was held in Philadelphia, and an author
itative exposition set forth which side the
soldiers stand on in the battle about to be
fought. They uttered no half-and-half ex
pressions of their views ; they did not tam
per or tack and veer. They gave a bugle
note which will ring through the ranks of all
our gallant volunteers,and find a response in
the hearts of those who loyally fought for
that Union again in danger. The following
resolution declares where they can be found :
"Whereas, At the present critical junc
ture in the political history of the nation,
any lack of sympathy with the party which
espouses the principles to the success of
which we have declared our devotion, any
supineness on the part of individuals, any
aid rendered to the party by whom those
principles have been bitterly opposed, iclieth
er on the ground of personal feeling, or
from other cause, or any failing to do all that
may be in our power to aid in perfecting the
triumph of the political party which repre
sents us, would be alike inimical to the solemn
declaration of our Order, in Convention
assembled, and subversive of the great end
to effect which we were called into existence;
therefore, "Be it declared, as the sense of
this Convention, that it is the solemn duty
of every comrade of the Grand Army, of
every true hearted soldier, and of every oth
er loyal voter, to devote every energy to se
curing Fuch a triumph for each and eve
ry candidate of the Union Republican party
as will prove to the nation that her sons who
defended her in arms are ever ready, at the
expense of personal considerations, to prove
their continued loyalty to the cause of right.
Thus the attempt of the Democracy to
swallow up the soldiers, and delude them
into giving their support to their party tick
et, checkmated by the soldiers' ' exposition
of the views of those who have served their
country in the field. For the expression of
soldiers' views, we j?refer that the soldiers
should speak for themselves.
A Handsome Compliment.
The Washington Chronicle, in the course
of an article upon the approaching election
in this State, speaks as follows of Judge
Williams . " Happily for our cause, our
friends in Pennsylvania have a noble standard-bearer
in the -conflict. lion. Henry
W. Williams has been long an ornament to
the bar and bench of the city of Pittsburg,
and the county of which it is the centre.
For more than a quarter of a century he
has in that moral, industrious and patriotic
community, which is the pride of Pennsyl
vania, and which also gave Edwin M.
Stanton to the nation, illustrated in his life
all the virtues of the Christian and the pa
triot. There was never a doubt as to his
position on the great questions of the war.
There stands on the record no decision of
his as a Judge, and no action of his as a
citizen, which can be possibly coustrucd into
a discouragement or an obstruction to our
holy war against slavery and for the nation's
life. His learning will lend a lustre to the
bench to which we hope to gee him elevated ;
his experience as judge of a district court
for so many ye&rs will inspire confidence in
the community at large ; his whole life is a
guarantee of unsullied purity and devotion
to the side of justice. Work then, friends
of the great Keystone State, and of the
Republic, for the man and for the great
cause he worthily represents, lest after so
many years of struggle and sacrifice you be
found at last yielding to the enemy in the
Cabinet, what with fire and sword he was
unable to wrest from you in the field."
Copperhead Know Nothingism.
If one thing is meaner than another in
the way the Democrats oppose Judge Wil
liams, it is the fling that he was born in
Connecticut. If he were a native of the
bogs of Ireland. or some unproneuncable
place of the Continent of Europe, and knew
as little of our system of government as
thousands of the Democratic party; or,
better yet, were he fresh from the South and
still wore the rebel gray, we presume there
would be no objection to Judge Williams.
This new phase of Know Nothingism is
noticeable in all the Copperhead papers.
Will they tell us what there is in Judge
Williams. resulting from his birth place, that
constitutes a valid reason why he should not
be elected ? Is he not a good citizen an
upright Judge a lover of his country a
friend of his species and is there among us
another, wherever born, of whom this can
be said with more emphasis than of Judge
Williams 7 It is an insult totbe intelligence
of the people to ply them with stuff like
that which the papers of that party are con
tinually printing about his birth place. It
is discreditable to it self, and worthy only
of the contempts which, with men of the
least intelligence, it will be received.
One Vote.
Three of the five Judges of our Supreme
fVnrt. Viavfi decided that the Local Tender
Act is Constitutional. The other two,
Cop.,) have given a contrary opinion.
fndtrA Sharswood is on the record with his
Copperhead friends. It is easy to have
tniS Opinion VI iue oupciuc iinuui.
You have only to eicct ouage ouarewuou.
Then our currency will be worthless.
Shall Andrew Johnson be Indorsed.
The question before the country and the
one to be decided at the election is, SJuiU
Andreto Johnson be indorse! ? Many times
during the war the quest ion before the coun
try was, shall the war be prosecuted until
the rebellion is put down ? Happily at all
times the answer was speedy, right and em
phatic At ho time during the war was
there more depending on the answer to the
question then pending than there is on the
question now put to the people. There is
no exaggeration in the assertion that the
purpose of Mr. Johnson is to efface the
verdict of the war and destroy its dear
bought fruits. And no man can be so blind
or so obtuse as not to know that a reverse
to the Republican party at this time will I e
regarded by him as an indorsement by the
people. Let that happen, and no man will
have a right to expect anything but anarchy
and ruin. We are assured on the best au
thority, that at no time within the last five
years has Gen. Grant been exercised with
such grave apprehensions as at the present
moment. He sees at the head of the Gov
ernment a desperate man, determined to
defy Congress, law and public opinion.
Could he know that the people, realizing
the danger, would rise and crush him, those
apprehensions would be dispelled. The
country was slow to believe that Jefferson
Davis and his fellow conspirators rea ly
meant rebellion ; and the danger now is
that too little heed will be given to the
warnings against the conspiracy in which
Andrew Johnson, Jere. Black, Vallandig
ham, and their followers are engaged. Con
gress, the Representative of the people,
must be sustained, or the hundreds of thous
ands cf lives, and the thousands of millions
of money which it cost to put down the re
bellion will have been spent in vain. Shall
Andrew Johnson be indorsed? No ! Then
po to the polls on the Second Tuesday of
October, and cast your vote for Hon. Henry
W. Williams, for Supreme Judge as the
most effectual mode of expressing your
condemnation of the usurpations of Mr.
Johnson.
Strong va. Sharswood
Our readers need not be told that as a ju
rist Judge Strong has no superior in this
State. Such is the position unreservedly
assigned to him by the bar of our Common
wealth. When his opinion on the Legal
Tender Act is in direct conflict with that of
Juue bharswoou, we leave it ior the rea
der to determine which is most likely to be
correct. We prefer to stand by Judge
istrong ana the constitutionally ol our cur
rency. "Capture the nation's forts, fire on the
nation's flag, make war on the nation's gov
ernment, shoot down the nation's soldiers,
and then swear 3ou won't do so any more,
and you are an honest loyal citizen." says
Audrew Johnson. Any murderer on the gal
lows with a rope around his neck, would
swear, if allowed to run at liberty, that he
would shed no more blood.
Two Yankees took lodgings for about ten
days at a tavern in Lancaster countv, and
fared sumptuously, drinking two or three
bottles of wine daily. The last day, and be
fore they had paid their bill, a dispute arose
about the speed of their horses. They at
last settled upon a race. The landlord was
appointed Judge, each being rider of his
own horse. When they were mounted, the
judge like those of the Olympic games, gave
the word one, two three, and go. Offthey
went, and have neither been seen or heard
of since ; leaving the landlord fully compen
sated by having had the honor to be Judge.
A good story is told of a Xantucketer who
sold a horse to a cavalry officer, warranted
him a good war hoiv-e. The soldier came
back afterwards in a towering passion and
said that he had been swindled. "As how?"
said the Nantuoketer. '"Why, ther's nota
bit of 'go' iti him, and you warranted him a
good war horse." "Yes, I did and by
George he is a good war worse he'd soon
er die than run ?"
Henry Ward Beecher says of the variety
department of newspapers, that "it is worth
more than all the small fry of correspond
ents, with an editor thrown in to boot. Like
a caravan, it stretches along its columns
with packages and parcels, spices and genius,
bits of fragrance, of cunningly wrought
metals, gathered from the Orient, and from
the whole world besides."
An amusing incident occurred in Albany
recently. While a gang of telegraph men
were stringing wire from a reel in a wagon,
the horse being driven along slowly, a coun
tryman rushed up to the driver, and in the
innocence of his heart informed him that he
was losing his load, that his wire was scat
tered all along the road behind him.
During the war a lady was distributing
to the occupants of the ward of a hospital,
and was excessively shocked to hear one
poor fellow laugh at her. She stopped to
reprove the wretched patient. " Why,
ma'am," said he, "you have given roe a
tract on the sin of dancing, when I have
got both legs shot off."
A fellow contemplated in utter wonder
ment the magnitudinous dimensions of a
bystander's feet, and in a tone of astonish
ment said, as he surveyed the man's pro
portions : "lrou'd have been a tall man, if
they hadn't bent you so far up."
' Father, what does the printer live on?"
"Why, my child? ' "O, because you saia
you hadn't paid for your paper for three
years." Exit father with a flea in his ear.
Is there any word which contains all the
vowels? Unquestionably.
