X4 A Word to Republicans.
If anything like apathy exists in your
rjnidst shake it off, and go to work at once.
By work alone will you insure the triuni-
tosjphant election of our candidate lor Supreme
Judge. See that every Union voter in your
district is assessed. Visit every such voter
in your precinct, andHrge him to be out at
the election. A uegl6cof tlys highly re
sponsible and important duty, on your part,
may be the means of defeat. Then don't
delay another day nay, not another hour
but go to work at once, and work earnestly,
and faithfully, from now to the election, and
victory, glorious victory, will crown your
efforts.
Copperhead Responsibility.
The Copperhead leaders are responsible
for the late rebellion and all the horrors of
the war they are responsible for the hun
dreds of thousands of noble young men who
were killed by rebel bullets they are re
sponsible for the tens of thousands of brave
soldiers who were starved to death in rebel
prison pens they arc responsible for the
thousands of Union men, who were hung in
the South, by the minions of rebellion, lie
cause they were loyal to the old flag they
are responsible for the sufferings of the
widows and orphans of our brave soldiers
who died to preserve the Union from de
fitroction by traitors they are responsible
for the almost countless millions of property
destroyed during the war they are respon
sible for tre two thousand seven hundred
millions of our national debt. For had
there been no Copperheads or semi-rebels
in the North, there would have been no
secession, and hence no rebellion or war.
And the same leaders arc responsible for the
prolongation of the war. in that they en
couraged the rebels in their rebellion by
discouraging eulistments by opposing the
draft and declaring it unconstitutional by
encouraging desertions from the army by
advising their followers to flee from th
draft by telling their party friends to resist
the officers of the Government by encour
aging the rebels to carry the black flag by
expressing satisfaction when the rebels set
fire to our Northern cities by rejoicing
over rebel victories and the defeat of the
Union army by welcoming the rebels on
their invasion of Pennsylvania and by de
claring our national currency and national
bonds as worthless. Yea, for these, and
countless other wrongs, are the Copperhead
leaders responsible ; and yet, in the face of
this array of wrong-doing, they would have
you believe they were the friends of the
Union. Do you believe them ? Nay! Then,
how can you adhere to their party ? How
can you vote for their candidates? How
can you conscientuously support George
Sharswood, who decided the "greenbacks"
unconstitutional ? All the leaders who are
responsible for tho great crimes we have
enumerated will support him, because he is
ne of them. But the honest Democrats
and Republicans will oppose him, because
he is unworthy of their confidence and op
posed to the best interests of the country.
Tea, all patriots will vote for Hon. Henry
W. .Williams, the friend of the Union, the
friend of the soldier, and the friend of the
people. Remember these facts when you
go to the polls on tho Second Tuesday of
October next, and vote accordingly.
The Democratic Record.
While the despot at Washington is plot
ting our country's ruin, in respouse to the
appals of the Democratic loaders, keep
yotireye upon their dark and terrible record,
and remember
That they are responsible for the war
which attempted the destruction of the Re
public,notoiily because they supported John
C. Breckenridge for President, but because
they refused to employ the powers of the
General Government under James Buchan
an to enforce obedience to the laws ;
That if they had rallied as earnestly to
the support of the Government as they ral
lied earnestly against it, the war would have
ended in the first instead of the fourth year
of its existence ;
That while they are predicting universal
bankruptcy, and now claiming to be the
friends of the public credit, let it not be for
gotten that tl ey never subscribed a dollar
to the national loans, and never paused in
their effoits to depreciate the national cur
rency; That while they are asking the votes of
the soldiers of the Union, keep it in eternal
remembrance that in public and in private
they denounced these brave men as hire
lings, and never contributed by word or deed
to the great charities organized and main
tained for the benefit of the defenders of
the Republic ;
That until they induced Andrew Johnson
to turn upon his owu record, to pro
scribe the purest patriots in the land, and to
set his face against the brave soldiers who
overthrew the rebellion, the national credit
stood firm ; but the moment, undcr their
counsels, his desperate hand was raised
against the reconstruction policy of Congress,
reviving business was instantly arrested, and
our nationa' currency began to depreciate ;
And finally, that if our debt and our tax
ation were treble what they are, the Cop
perheads would be responsible for both, a3
the guilty associates of the traitors from
first to last
The Way to Do It
The sole hope of the Democrats in this
State, says the Commercial, is based on the
apathy of the Republicans arising from over
confidence. Their plan of campaign is to
do nothing to awaken Republicans into ac
tively. At the same time measures are be
ing taken to bring out the Democratic voters
in fact they aie always out. These facts
should awaken Republicans to do their
whole duty. There is no change among the
people no conversions to the standard of
Andrew Johnson. There is no pretense of
the sort. The people are as determined to
day as tlicy were last year, when the State
gave seventeen thousand Republican major
ity. There is just one thing to be done,
therefore. The Republican voters must be
brought out. To this end oureffbrts should
be redoubled and constant. It is not a
question of strength but its use. The sev
eral election districts should be thoroughly
canvassed. There is time enough for that.
Practical uiissionating among the mass of
Republican voters is what is needed.
Neighborhood meetings and frequent con
ferences should bo held, less for discussion
with the view of converting the enemy than
to insure a full Republican vote on the day
of election. ' It is not ueces.viry to wait for
the action of committees.. Five even three
Republicans in a neighborhood meeting
together will constitute jasl the kind of
committee that is required for the occasion.
There is not an election district, in which
our friends cannot make clean work of it
within the next week,
do it ?
Friends! will you
Amnesty Pardon.
Amnesty and pardon are two things as
different as day and night, or Democracy
and loyalty. Pardon is a remission of a sen
tence after trial and conviction befl jre a le
gal tribunal ; amnesty is an indemnity srran-
tcd before trial. Pardon is the remission of
a penalty; aiunest' immunity from a trial.
Under the Constitution the President has
the power to grant pardons and reprieves,
but nothing more. He might as well at
tempt to grant absolution as amnesty. The
one would bo usurping the power of the
Church ; the ether of the people. Andrew
Johnson would unquestionably usurp both
if he could, ar.d might assume the one pow
er with as good grace as the other.
California 0. K.
After all, the result in California, over
which thj Cops crow so lustily, shows that
the Republicans have a majority of two
votes on joint ballot, which secures the
election of a Republican U. S. Senator.
And Haight, Dcm., for Governor received
42,300 votes, while in 18C4 M'Clcllan had
43,841 votes a loss of 1.Z41. Then.it is
clear that the defeat of the Republican can
didate for Governor was the result of apathy
and not becanse tho Cops have gained.
On a square contest we can carry the State
by 30,000 majority. So let the Cops crow
over their barren victory.

A Timely Warning
Voters of Pennsylvania 1 under no cir
cumstances cease to remember that the con
test at the polls in this State, to take place
on the Second Tuesday of October, will de
cide issues involving all that is important
and essential to the peace, permanence and
prosperity of the nation. The Republican
candidate for Supreme Judge represents a
great principle, aud his election is necessary
to secure the success of that principle. The
Republican party saved the country from
treason. Had the Copperheads been let
alone, the slaveholders' rebellion would have
been a triumph. We would have had a di
vided country. Jeff. Davis would have been
enthroned a tyrant in the South, and the
people of the North compelled to pay tribute
for his support. Republican policy and Re
publican bayonets defeated these dangers
Nevertheless, the Copperheads of the North
are still the friends of traitors and are strug
gling now for political victories for power to
revive the war of treason. Hence, we as
sort, it is as necessary to defeat the Copper
heads at the ballot-box as it was to vanquish
rebels on the battle-field. Had the rebels
succeeded the national debt would have been
repudiated. Lot the Copperheads be victo
rious at the tm11s and they will do what the
rebels failed to accomplish they icill rejm
tlinte the 2ubUc tb'Lt ! Every purpose at
which the rebels failed of success the Cop
perheads are striving to accomplish. This
gives all our elections a national character
and renders the services of the Union voter
is important as those of the Union Soldier.
Bear In Mind !
That the result of the election in Pennsyl
vania will have a telling effect, for good or
evil, on national affairs.
That it will effect the price of gold if
sharswood is elected, which will .seriously
interfere with the living of every working
man, farmer and mechanic in the State, by
increasing the cost of dry goods, groceries,
grain and meat Judge Sharswood occu-
pies the position that the national securities
and issues of notes are illegal. If he is elec
ted, the result will be claimed as an approv
al of this position, the consequence of which
will Le to depreciate the value of the nation
al currency, requiring three dollars to pur
chase what now can be had for one dollar.
That a failure to maintain a Republican
majority in the Legislature will result in the
relevying of the tax on real estate, repealed
by the Republicans of a former Legislature.
As usual in all measures of reform and relief
to the people, the Democratic party, through
its leaders, opposed the repeal of the tax on
real estate. Give these men the power, and
that tax will be levied, by which the reuts
of mechanics and laboriug men wiU be doub
ly increased.
These are plain facts easily comprehend
ed by the voters the man who votes for
Sharswood puts himself in danger of bank
ruptcy and straps a load on his back in the
shape of increased taxation.
Elated and Chagrined.
When the Southern people, after reading
or hearing of the amnesty, are elated with
the news that it seems to bring to them,
their first thought is, "now for the voting."
And when, to make the hope an assurance,
they send a message of mixed adulation and
inquiry, to Washington, to know whether
they are to have free scope with the ballot,
and receive a negitive answer, it is not diffi
cult to imagine their mortification and disappointment-
The amnesty, therefore, while
brincing them no relief, as it ought not and
could not, with reference to enfranchise
ment, only tends to increase their exaspera
tion, and to prolong the bad feeling which
they unjustly entertain against Con
gress and the Northern people. The docu
ment itseU' is a deceptive one, and it is dif
ficult to discover a rational motive for it3
promulgation.

Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, said: l'I vote against
this bill from principle. A voter disfranchi
ses himself and ceases to be a citizen when
he takes upon himself the duties of a sol
dier." Let them remember also that the
J emocrats polled one hundred and six thous
and votes against the Constitutional Amend
ment conferring the right of franchise upon
them. This is the party that now professes
an ardent and exclusive affection for the
soldiers.
TriAT Gain. The Coppcrheaeds claim
that they have gained 75,000 votes in the
seven states in which elections were held
this year. The official figures show that in
the same States in 1364 they polled 2G8,GG4
votes, and in 1S67 they polled 268,254 a
loss of 410. Where is that gain ef 75,000?
Poor, Cops! they must be hard run if they
can rejoice over such a result as a victory.
A Fact. The late war, with all its hor
rors and calamities, was the result of Dem
ocratic treachery and rebellion. Do you
desire to inflict the country with another
equally great calamity the repudiation of
our national debt and the assumption of the
rebel debt? Nay! Then vote for Henry
W. Williams, as the only sure way to pre
vent so dire a mishap.

i Dedication of Antietam Cemetery.
un uuesday, fcept i7tn, the dedication
of Antietam Cemetry took place. The
President, four Cabinet Officers, and seven
Governors, a large number of soldiers, and
an immense concourse of citizens were pres
ent and participated in the ceremonies.
Gov. Swan, on assuming the Presidential
chair, tendered welcome t President John
son, and the Governors of other States who
came to take part in the exercises. Af
ter a prayer by Rev. Mattison, of New Jer
sey, and the singing of a hymn, es-Gov.
Bradford delivered an eloquent oration.
Many passages of the oration were applau
ded, and as the orator took his seat there
were loud and frequent cries for Gov. Geary,
mingled with calls for President Johnson.
The band struck up a funeral dirge, and the
calls for Gov. Geary were repeated, when
Gov. Swan arose and desired that the pro
gramme be proceeded with according to the
airangements of the Committee. The cheer
ing for Gov. Geary was then renewed, who
stepped forward and asked the assem
blage to preserve order until the programme
was completed, when several of the Gov
ernors would address them. This restored
order and the ceremonies were proceeded
with as per arrangement.
President Johnson, upon being introduced
to the assemblage, advanced to the front of
the platform, and said :
Mr Fellow-Countrymen: In appear
ing before you it is not for the purpose of
making any lengthy remarks, but simply to
express my approbation of the ceremonies
which have taken place to-day. My ap
pearance on' this occasion will be the speech
that I will make ; my reflections and medi
tations will be in silent communion with the
dead whose deeds we are here to commem
orate. I shall not attempt to give utterance
to the feelings and emotions inspired by the
addresses and prayers which have been
made, and the hymns which have been sung.
I shall attempt no such thing. I am merely
here to give my countenance and aid to the
ceremonies on this occasion, but I must be
permitted to express my hope that we may
follow the example which has been so elo
quently alluded to this afternoon, and which
has been so clearly set by the illustrious
dead. When we look on your battle-field,
and think of the brave men on both sides
who iell in the fierce struggle of battle, and
who sleep siieut in their graves yes, who
sleep in silence and peace after the earnest
conflict has ceased would to God we of the
living could imitate their example as they
lay sleeping in peace in their tombs, and
live together in friendship and peace. Ap
plause. You, my fellow-citizens, have my
earnest wishes, as you have had my efforts
in times gone by, in the earliest and most
trying perils to preserve the Union of these
States, to restore peace and harmony to our
distracted and divided country, and vou
shall have my last efforts in vindication of
the nag of the Kepubhc and of the Consti
tution of our Fathers. Applause.
The benediction was then pronounced, and
the President and others, started for home.
Mr. Johnson, before commencing to speak,
asked a neighbor if any rebel dead were
buried in the cemetery, and received in reply,
"No, sir; nor never will be." Yet, not
withstanding this reply, the President could
not refrain from showing his sympathy for
the rebels by referring to the "brave men,
of both suLs, who fell in the fierce struggle
of battle," at Autietam.
After the Presidential party had left the
stand, the calls for Gov. Geary were re
newed, whereupon he arose and said:
Fellow citizens : After all you have heard
to-day I supposed you would want nothing
more. The programme has been gone
through with. It opened and closed with
prajer. Those who were uot invited must
come in at the last hour; but I remember
when the coufi iet was waging here there
was no hesitation in inviting tho loyal Gov
ernors to participate, by sending their troops
to the field at Antietam. But, my friends,
although the loyal Governors have been
left out of the progamme, I thank God they
still have a place in the hearts of the people.
When you come to Pennsylvania next Julv
at th ; dedication of the Monument at Get
tysburg we will tender vou the hospitalities
of the State, and permit every man to speak.
We want to bear thanks to Almighty God
for his preservation and care of this country.
We will have no eaar. We will have no
programmes; but I am not here to say any-
tning on mat suiject.
The orator of the dav has presented.
with eloquence and faithfulness, many of
the historic incidents of tho creat hattta wa
to-day seek to commemorate in the dedica
tion ot a cemetery in honor of the heroic
dead, who "died that the government of
the people, Dy the people, and tor the peo
ple, should not perish from the earth."
1 he battle ot Antietam was foueht under
circumstances, of great depression on the
part of the Union forces. The Army of
the Potomac was greatly demoralized bv the
disastrous campaigns on the Peninsula and
in Northern Virginia, and from the loss of
12,000 men who had lust been captured at
the shameful surrender at Harper's Ferry.
While the same circumstances were calcula
ted to, and doubtless did, animate the rebel ar
my with great enthusiasm and dauntless de
termination, so that when the first gun was
fired at Antietam, Lee's army had a basis
of victory to begin with.
lhe ettect, then, which follow! the col
lision of the two great armies upon the battle-field
must be regarded as somewhat dif
ferent from that in which we vifiw anv oth
er contest which preceded or followed it,
ana uui nine argument is required to show
that the victory of Antietam, to be properly
appreciated, must be measured by the most
liberal logic known to military ethics. As
an evidence, the Armv of the Pntrnian dif
fered a loss of about 12,000 in killed and
wounded, while that acknowledged by the
rebel army scarcely exceeded nine thousand;
yet Lee was compelled to fly, under the
shadow of night, from before a foe whom
he had so dreadfully punished, and, thus
acKnowteuging nimseit vanquished, admit
ted a ciear ana indisputable victory ot the
Union arms.
Had this battle resulted differently, both
Washington and Baltimore would have been
exposed, and .the rebel cavalry could have
refreshed their horses in the waters of the
Susquehanna, and perhaps even in those of
the Hudson before the people of the North
could have recovered from the panic which
had seized upon the public mind. But
thanks unnumbered thanks for the daunt
less valor of the glorious Army of the Po
tomac, not only was the foe beaten and the
country saved from deep humiliation, but
the arogant assumptions ot superior valor,
so vauntingly advertised by Lee andhu fol
lowers, were utterly dispelled, and he and
they forced to fly lor safety beyond the wa
ters of the Potomac.
By Autietam's thunderbolts the Govern
ment escaped the dangers by which it was
menaced, and the people ot the North were
saved from the terrible ravages of an inva
ding army. Most appropriate is it then
that a cemetery should be here prepared
for the reception ot the remains of the he
roes who gave up tliuir lives on this-'tield
that the nation might live, and a suitable
monument be erected to their memory.
Whatever may be snid of the Army of the
Potomac, as connected -with any of its other
dceds, that, which niu.-t. be said of it in con
nection with the battles ot Antietam and
Gettysburg will preserve its reputation in
glory while martial valor is prized and indi
vidual fortitude and heroism honored among
men.
I presume it will not be deemed inappro
priate for me to place on record here the
the numbers of those millitary organizations
of Pennsylvania which participated in this
battle. I believe no such record has been
made public, and therefore, it affords me
great gratification to be enabled to t.-ke ad
vantage of this opportunity to assert for
Pennsylvania her proper share in the hon
ors which surround the battle-field.
Fifty regiments of infantry, five of caval
ry, and six batteries of artillery fur
nished by the Keystone State were in the
battle of Antietam. The official records and
reports of the battle from which we derive
these factsare replete with acknowledgment
of the splendid services rendered by these
men in the great conflict, and as a Pennsyl
vanian I am proud thus to adduce the facts
of history, to prove that my native State,
here, as elsewhere during the wcr, lent the
full strength of her numbers, as well a the
iufluence of her wisdom, in carying the ( iov
erument to- a glorious victory. Thus she
was in the late war, thus it has ever been,
and thus it will be with Pennsylvania when
ever liberty or the perpetuity of the Union
is assailed.
While thus careful to preserve the record
of Pennsylvania's participation in the events
which makes this locality classic ground, no
selfish feeling of State Pride, no contracted
desire to monopolize so great an honor for
any one people, can induce me to deprive
others of the full share of the glory of An
tietam. The loyal soldiers of the country
won this victory, and the memories of the
citizens of 3'aine, New York. Ohio, Mary
land, Michigan, Iowa, or of other Stotes who
perished here while contending for the Un
ion, are just as dear and will be hallowed as
sacredly by the people of Pennsylvania as
the memories of their own beloved sons who
here lie buried.
The blood of the North, of the Fast, and
of the West flowed in the same sacred
stream, and broke from the same ranks to
crimson the waters of Antietam, and when
the chill morning dawned upon the scene of
carnage, the Union dead from every section
were mingled upon the field of strife. They
are brothers still beneath the same sod. and
while the dew continues to fall from Heav
en upon their union in the grave, our chil
dren and i heir children's children will come
to worship at this shrine, to show their rev
erence for the patriotic dead, and to express
their grateful admiration for the memories
of those who perished that they might live
as freemen, in a preserved Republic, where
" the will of the people is the law of the
land," and where its execution is equally
binding as a duty upon the most exhalted
as well as the humolest of its citizens. I
have been speaking repeatedly for the last
two days, and will therefore conclude my re
marks. There are here Gov. Fenton, the
Governor of Maine and others, whom I
have no doubt you will be glad to hear.
Cheers : go on.
But Gov. Geary withdrew after introdu
cing Gov. Fenton, of New York, who made
a few remarks, after which the assembly
uipcrsed.
Disability Removed from Rebels,
President Johhson's late Amnestv proc

three c;a-o namely:
Fir.-t. the chief or pretended chief execu

President and all heads of departments of

foreign States and countries, and all who
had or pretended to hoi 1 in the service of
the said pretended Confederate Government
a military rank or title above the grade of
ongadier general, and naval rank or title
above that of captain, and all who were or
pretended to be Governors of States while
maintaining, abetting or submitting to and
acquiescing in the rebellion.
Second, All persons who, in any way,
treated otherwise than as lawful prisoners
of war, persons who, in any capacity, were
emploj'cd or engaged in the military or na

Third, All persons who, at the time they
may seek to obtain the benefits ef this proc

naval confinement or custody, or legally held
to bail, either before or after conviction,
and all persons who were engaged directly
or indirectly in the assassination of the late
President of the United States, or in any
plot or conspiracy in any manner therewith
conected.
It is asserted that there are perhaps
less than 3,000 left in these three classes,
subject to trial the balance being exempt

Col. Forney, writing from Washington,
says : "General Grant openly expresesses
his opinion that the reconstruction meas

will prevail over all opposition. On this
subject he has not now, and never had the
slightest reserve. The same is true of ev

William Iligby, the most Radical nomi

He will represent the second district of that
