CLEARFIELD, PA.,. TAN. 22, 1868.
Showing the "Cloven Toot."
The Ohio Legislature, and the New Jer
sey Legishture, both "Democratic, have re
peated the resolutions giving the asront of
- their respective States to the pending Foue
teenth A'ticle to the Federal Constitution.
Mr. Colfax's assurance that Congress would
take im step backwards seems to have star
ted the Democracy just in that direction.
That the Democracy would also retract the
consent of the States to the amendment a
boliabinx sLvery, every man knows who
knows anyth:ng of the real spirit of the par
ty; they might hesitate for a w!.ile to re
turn to bondage tho.e who have been eman
cipated, but the Northern section would, as
, a party, stand by and see their brethren of
the South do it. Fortunately, the abroga
tion of contracts and the repeal of regularly
ratified amendments is less easy than the
Pendleton repudiatori would desire. That
the Copperhead leaders aro really in favor
of repudiating our national obligations, -is
clearly manifested in this attempt to destroy
the fourteenth article ?j the Constitution of
the United States which article, if once
fully engrafted into the Supreme law of
the land, sanctifies and secures the debt for
all time to come. Yc hope, the people
who sustained the late war and preserved
the Union from destruction by Rebels, will
remember that the Copperhead leaders will
repudiate our national debt, if they are
placed in power, and that the only way to
prevent so dire a calamity befalling us, as a
nation, is to continue the Republican party
in power, until all the late Rebel States are
restored in the Union' with proper safe
guards against future rebellion.
A Candid Admission. A Western
Democratic paper urges the party in the ten
disorganizad States to send delegates to the
National Democratic committee, and meek
ly says : .
44 1 a recognizing the Southern States on the
committee, we do not necessarily recognize the
bogus State governments now being adopted by
military power and negro suffrage. They are gen
uine Slates, whose governments are at present
suppressed but which we propose in good time to
recover."
- Nothing but the restoration of" rebels to
power will satisfy the Democracy. A vote
for that party, is a vote to place the nation
in rebel hands. It is a voice to make rebels
the custodians of the funds with which in
valid and orphaned pensioners are to be
paid.
For Grant. On January 16th, in Phil
adelphia, the National Convention of the
Grand Army of the Republic nominated Gen.
Grant as the choice of the soldiers of the
country for the next Presidency. The speech
es of Generals Hurlbut and Sickles on the
occasion were unqualifiedly radical. A res
olution was adopted suggesting a' national
convention of .soldiers, to meet in Chicago,
on the nineteenth day of May, for the pur
pose of expressing the feeling and dasire on
the Presidential question of the men who
etrnpjiel thalato annie of thu Uaited
States in the war to crush. rcIellioir.
OnioU. S. SENATO tsni?. JulgeThnr
man hts been elected Unite I States Senator
from Ohio. Tlie vol? in the Legislature
was a i follows: Senafc 18 for Thurman,
Pcuiociat; 16 for Wade, Republican.
House 55 for Thurman; 49 for Wade.
Thtirnmrs majority on joint ballof, 7. Val
laTidighani ma le a great deal of noise, but
the Thurmanites di-patthed him with the
greate? ea;-e. The election ot Thurtnan is a
Democratic gain. The election of Ha nilton
by the Maryland Legislature, pimply makes
good the vote of Reverdy Johnson on the
Democratic side.
A Rebel Endorsement. Basil W.
Dufce, of guerrilla memory, familiarly
known out West as the brains of John Mor
gan, has kinlly publish.; J a letter of in
struction to the Democracy of the South
jrest, in which he suggests Mr. Pendleton
as the proper candidate for the Presidency.
Does General Duke propose to fill the same
ofBce for the Democracy as he did for John
Morjan? His unquesiioned ability as a
guerrilla chieftain certainly, entitles him to
promotion in the ranks of the rear guard
gacrillas of the North.
TLe New York World .is outraged be-
asse Vhe millionaires have declared for
Grant; but it will have cause for a more
genuine rage when it discovers that not on
ly the millionaires but the millions demand
his election to the Presidency.
Shabby TaiCKfor the Ohio Copperhead
Legislature, to defeat Vallandigham for U.
S. Senator. Poor fellow ! We pity him.

,, In Favor of Repudiation. .
Of the fourteen resolutions constituting
the platform of the Indiana Democracy, a-
j dopted the othei day in convention, three
are directed against the creuit ot the coun
try, as follows :
Third. That the h tonal bank system, organ
ised in tbe interU of the bondholders, ought to
be abolished, and United States notes substituted
in lieu of the national l ank currency, thus sav
ing to the people in the interest alone more than
oighteer. million dollars annually ; and until such,
a system of bank: shall ba abolished, we demand
that the shares of such banks in Indiana shall be
subject to ths same taxation. State and uuuici
pal. as other property of the State.
Fourth. That the bonds and other securities of
the United States, with every other description of
property, should bear their equal proportion of
taxation for State, county and municipal purpo
ses, and to that end the binds and other securi
ties of the United States ought to be taxed by
Congress for national purposes, in amount sub
stabtially equal to the tax imposed on property
in the several States for local purposes. -
Fifth. That we are in favor of the payment of
tbe Government bonds in treasury note common
ly ealleJ greenback, exeept when expressly ma.le
payable in gold by law at the earliest practica
ble period.
The Convei tion also passed a resolution
endorsing Hon. George II. Pendleton, the
great American repudiator, which may be
clashed with the above.
The Ohio Democracy lately in conven
tion also endorsed Mr. Pendleton and urged
his nomination for President, and passed a
nuiulierof resolutions hinting at the repu
diation of our national bonds and national
currency.
Thus, day by day, is the fact being devel
oped that the Democratic party is in favor
of repudiating our national dibt and plung
ing the country into utter ruin an J discred
it. Will the people remember these facts,
and ponder them well, lest jhey inadvert
antly be made the instruments in the hand
of designing demagogues to debtroy the
country, and ruin their own dearest rights
and business interests.
Don't Like Him. General Hancock is
not so sure o! leing the Democratic candi
date for President, with all his efforts to
make himseff popular with his country's
enemies at New Orlean-. "Mrs. Surratt's
hangman;" as the New York Day Bonk
calls him, because he was the active officer
who had in custody the assassins of Lincoln,
will have to get down much lower before he
can command the suffrages of the faithful.
Congress. Under the head of "Wash
ington City Gossip," will be found an inter
esting account of the re instatement of Mr.
Stanton as Secretary of War. Also an ac
count of the censnre of Fernando Wood by
the House, for having violated the rules in
hfe speech on the supplemental reconstruc
tion till. .
A Fact. The only question, of wholly
national importance, which will enter into
the coming Presidential campaign is the
payment or repudiation of our national debt.
The Republican party Javor its payment,
while the Domocracy oppose its payment !
Which party will you sustain?
Fernando Wood thinks Concres an infa
mous body. If he wishes to improve its
character the best way would be to rcs:gn.
The Case Plainly Stated. Our Dem
ocratic friends are much alarmed at the ex
penses of reconstructing the Union, and are
anxious for retrenchment. If they had
never rebelled, these expenses would never
have been possible. If, having rebelled at
the South, taey had notencouraged the Re
bellion at the North, the expenses would
never have reached half their present fig
ure. Having made these expenses i-ievita-ble.'ifthey
will abandon their efforts toward
repudiation, we may soon lessen the rate of
interest on the national debt from six to
four per cent., and save the country $10
IXH),000 a year. And, if they wiil cease
their efforts to continue the political slavery
of four millions of the Southern people, and
place no further obstruction in the way of
the Reconstruction of the South, the Union
will be restore 1, an J all expanses of Recon
struction flopped.
Just So ! A pir y of Djiii .:iatic politi
cians are clamoriii for tho removal uf the
Collector ot Philadelphia, so t hut room
nay be ut-Ie forsou Uly who will almiu
ister the office with due regard to the com
ing election. We wih i fie time would
come when neither Democratic imr Repub
lican politicians would have power to inter
feie in such removals. It is ly yielding to
such pressure that Mr. Johnson has I'lough
the revenue system into its present discred
itable mi nation, and he can only reform it
ly making hu appointments with regard
solely to fitness and honesty.

From the Irish Eepbulio of December 7, 1S67-
The Republican Party and Irishmen.
The leading journals and most prominent
pohticians of the great Republican party of
America are true, heart and soul, to the pro
tection of their country'' industry. Tbey
have resolved that not England, but Amer-
ill be the world's treat manufactory;
i that they will keep the wealth ot their eoun
i try to enrich their own citizi ns, not aggran-
dizejne inooay.Dioatea aristocrats oi Europe,
that they will preserve for their own work
ingmen such wages as wiil enable them to
live and rear their families in comfort and
intelligence, as human beings ought, iustead
of sending their cash across the sea to be
squandered by spendthrifts, lords and squires
in the gambling hells of London and Paris.
They have resolved that honest and indus
trious men in America will be protected, and
not let the naked victims of an infernal sys
tem which hasd'ed and clothed and lodged
their brothers in England and Ireland worse
ten-fold worse than the horses and dogs of
the English aristocrats. This is the Minnie
practical meaning of protection in American
industry. This is ilia creed, the princip e
and the practice of that very radical party
wh'ch hnn Ireds of thuua'nU of Irishmen
would no more think of voting for or sup
porting than ibey would think of selling
souls l o the author of evil himself. This is
in i.lnin words, they go enthusiastically a-
gaiirst the interest of their own country, of
ot their own wives and children, ot their
own wages, of ihe very bread they eat and
the raiment wherewith they sue clothed.
They go right, and most ci thuiastic&lly,in
to th ; support of ihe wealth and power of
England ; of that country whose rulers have
mbbed them of everything but life; that
i hey have made them becgars and slaves in
the hud ( f their l.iiih ; that they have hun
ted millions ot hem into exile aulthe grave,
and that they pursue them with their ncorn
and vengeance to i he eirds of the earth. Ve
again a.sk and demand an an.-wer: Was
there ever infatuation so complete, so un
reasoning obstin icy, so unpaidonably besot
ted, as i hey are here?
We are sorry to s:iy that we can find no
excellent exception to break the force ot
condemnation which, in connection with this
vital question, we are obliged to pass on ihe
entire Democrat ii party. Free trade with
England lies at the very foun lation of I he
Conservative constructure. This is a cardi
nal doctrine of iheir peculiar political creed.
Nor is th'rea single Dj:nocrati; journal,
from New York to frYancisco, that d.KJ.s not
teach, from week to week, aul from day to
day, this destructive and disgraceful prinei
pie. And if there is any truth, which we
great'y doubt, in the boasted 'reaction'
wh'ch hu bjen so mush spken of, and if
there is any additional chairee fur the Dem
oratic party, oce more assuming the rule
ot this great Repifblic, then one thing may
be looked forw rd to as an absolute certain
ty, ami thi is free trade with England. This
will have a few effects, which it is worth the
while ot Irishmen to ponder seriously, be
fore by their votes and infiueuc I hey bring it
to pass. One will be to reduce the wairjs-of
the workingmen ( ne half, so that tho.; who
find it dfficult to live in New York or Chi
cago on $2 a day will have pleasure of ae
coniplishin? the task, under the new Eng
lish Free-Trade. Democratic regime, wi: h $1.
It "will strengthen England by pouring into
their coffers the wealth of America, so that
her reign of robbery and blood, instead of
coming to a close will, like the eagle, r
new its age for another century or two. or
perhaps tor another such 700 years as Ire
land has seen and felt.
An Analysis of Food. It i.s stated
that i hungry man who sits down before a
pound of beefsteak, tender, juicy, and an
inch thick, and eats it, will find upon anal
ysis that sixty-four per cent, of hissteak was
wateF that eighteen per cent, will go to
give him an aldcrmanic fleshiness ; and that
eighteen per cent, is assigned to warm him,
and make him feel comfortable on a cold
day. Of the flesh forming ingredients, ac
cording to Dr. Playfatr, every oi:e, of an av
erage, require ninety-two pounds annually
to keep tip a proper boldly condition. If it
is not obtained from steaks, then it must be
secured from something else. Cheese is a
j;reat flesh former, (thirty per cent.,) and
taken with bear speedily conceals all traces
of unsightly bones. Two ounces of flesh
formers per diem will keep a man alive if
fe is n if foic id t labor, but hard labor re
quires hx. or thebnty will run short of
si arc h and Uigur, andgo behindhand in
heal h an I streng h. I i 10O parts of wheat
there ate 10 pounds of flesh, but there is
nearly double the amount in the same quan
tity of oatmeal.
The Gulf Stream and the Late
Earthquakes. It h.n vUoen ascertained
that the la. o earthquakes have iucrea-d the
vuhici y of the Gulf Stream from three and
a half to four miles an hour .ilnmst draw
ing vessels on t lie Key West reefs. The o
piuiou is that at th . time of the earthquakes
in the West lnliesthe;C was an npluaviiv
of the ocean's bed, extending from the re

forcing ilie great volume of water to rush

Notes from Harrisbtirg.
Mr. Lowry, from the Committee on Fed
eral Relations reported joint resolutions in
dorsing Secretary Stanton and hailing his
restoration with joy, as follows :
Resolvtd, That the loyal men of this Common
wealth hail with jny the restoration of Hod. Ed
win M Stanton to tbe office from which he has beea
illegally excluded, and that the thanks' of the
people of fennsvlvfinirt are hereby tendered to
the Senators w o have by their action in this case,
vindicated a meritorious officer ani rebuked an
apostate President.
Resolved, That it is the universal wish of the
loyal men of Pennsylvania that lion. Edwin M.
Stanton shall retain the office be now holds; that
be will sink his personal wishes for the public
good, and that the country more than ever requir
ing his services, mayagain rest in security- with
th nnflfrnching Secretary at the bead of military
affairs.
The introduction of these resolutions caus
ed as much commotion among the Demo
crats, as a stone thrown into a hornet's net
does among the hornets. In the Senate.
Mr. Davis, of Beiks, got his ma i up, ten i
lily denounced Stanton as an inf uiious mur
derer of Union soldiers, and exhausted the
dictionary in ihe adjectives he piitd on ihe
head of the Secrelary of War. The usual
coolness of the pany leaders, on that fide.
seemed to have deserted them utterly, and
the mere mention ot Stantoi's name opeia
tedon them like the mixture of Selixer pow
ders in a glass of water. In THE IIousK.
thesame temper was manifested on the Dein
ocratic fide. '"Murderer," "infamous,"
'Vile." "debased," "debauched," "cor
rupt," and kindred epithets were hurled at
Stanton's head, iu a quick Miesest-ion of vol
leys, and in addition to denouncing the man
wh organized victory for the Union armies,
the more adventurous members. f theDrick
I'ouuroy stripe, ventured to bestow Jiearty
co nuien I itiotu upon the chief of the rebel
army. Mr. Playford,, of Favette.'paid an
eloquent tribute to "the gallant Lee," and
aitogether.after listening to these Democrat
ic speeches, one must have been led to con
clude, if he did not. already know better.tlrar
the war for maintaining the Union was a
crime, and the rebellion the most virtuous
cause on earth. It noeds no better eviif nee
than this to show how deeply the restoration
of Stanton wounds the Democracy, nod how
much they dread his presence in the War
Department. It upsets a'l their plans and
disappoints all their expeitations ; and in
stead of the jubilant tone in which they were
so lately indulging, we now hrr something
like the ravins of despair. The resolutions
passed both Houses by a strict party vote.
On Wednesday. January loth, Gen. W.
W. Irwin, of Reaver, w is eleetel . Sate
Treasurer, by the two Houses of tha Lsais
lature. The vote stood: Irwin, 73; M'Grath.

Senator Slioeirnker has presented the
draft of a bill providing for a registry law in
this State. It cannot be my longer denied
that such a law is absolutely necessary in
large cities, n ining districts and all along
the railroads. Thousands of illegal votes
are annually polled, and we hope that a law
may be framed at this session in which both
parties join to prevent fraud at elections.
Let those, entitled to elective franchise en
joy it, but let all others be prevented from
voting.
Washington City Gossip.
The re-instatenrent of Mr. Stanton, as Secreta
ry of War, created some excitement, and a good
deal of cariosity was manifested to know what
would be the upshot of the whole proceedings.
On Monday evening the President, as well as Mr.
Stanton and len. Grant, wns officially informed
of the action of the Senate, and there were all
sorts of rumors as lo what Stanton would do. and
what the President would do n nd there were vague
intimations that one or the other of these distin
guished individuals would do something desper
ate, but nothing of the kind has yet transpired.
In fact, there was neither fuss not ifliculfy in the
proceeding of taking pos-ession of tho offi.ee. Mr.
Stanton acting ns though he hud just r turned
from a prot aetod nbseneo and Gen Grant leav
ing ns though he hd occupied his pl.ica during
his absence. About whether Mr. Stanton will
resign, there nppeira t bo some question On
Tuesdiiy a petition was circulated in the llou-enf
Representatives, and signed hy every l!cpul!icnn
member, asking Stanton to remain in the War of
fice, and not to rvsivjn. ns it hail bt-cn iutiin.itol
be intended to do immediately after hi.s reinstate
ment Whether he will take the ndvie- if his
friends, remains to be seen. His ri si-rnntion no
doubt, would prevent a'l further iinpleas-tMncss
bo'ween him and the Presidct t, but should he
conclude to remain, it will rest with Mr. Johnson
whether there shall be further em roilnient or not.
Tbe keys of tbe Secretary's private offi :e were
handed to Mr. Stanton at 10 o'ebxk. on Tut slay,
and betook quiet possession an 1 rein.iined until

No debate followed, but Mr. Kerr, of Indiana,
moved to lay the resolution on the table, which
was lost. A rote was then taken on tbe resolution

The Speaker called Mr. Wood to the bar of tbe
