Hon. SCHUYLER OOLPAX.
A Meek Gray-Back !
There is a paper published in Bellefonte,
ycleped The Democratic Watchman, edited
by an insignificant little whiffet who calls
himself P. Gray Meek, and a very appro
priate name it is, for very "gray" is Peter-
so "gray" that he is and has been through
out the rebellion a "gray-back." This sheet,
which is a weak imitation of the La Crosse
'Democrat,' quotes an item from our last
number,' calling attention to the advice of
the Savannah Adcertixgr to its p&trons, to
drive out of the city all men, white or col
ored, who voted the Republican ticket, and
makes it the subject of a leading editorial.
The little Peter raves, and rants, and howls,
and threatens like aoy other little monkey
tbat has had its tail pinched, avowing
his determination and intention to scratch if
he ever gets a chance.
He not only fully endorses the sentiment
of the Advertiser, but exclaims "Wait awhile
until justice comes nearer home!" which
. means that the valorous Peter would like to
get a chance to be revenged on the loyal peo
ple of Centre county who made him behave
himself when the rebel in liim cropped out
too plainly during the war. If "justice'
had been done then,, he would have been
sent to' a lunatic asylum and kept there for
he is certainly not fit to be at large.
' He is a pretty specimen to prate of "wid
ows and orphans," and "graves" filled by
our "intolerance." The only widows and
Orphans in this county made during the war
an those of the gallant soldiers who gave
their lives t for that country that P.Gray
Meek and his rebel friends were striving to
destroy ; and the only "graves filled" were
those of soldiers and Government officers
foully murdered by rebels and rebel sympa
thisers.
"Dirty prison -pens and bastiles," forsooth
How many brave and gallant men were starv
ed and murdered at Andersonviile and Lib
by, in consequence of the conduct of such
wretches as P. Gray Meek in advising resist
ance to the draft, and throwing every im-
'pediment in the way of the Government in
the prosecution of the war ? There is no
'prison-pea too 'foul' and none too 'dirty'
- for the miscreant who could enjoy the pro
tection of his country's flag, and at the same
time use every means in his power to trail it
in the dust : no 'bastile too strong or too
dark for the wretched traitor who could aid
by all the means within his reach, the ene
xnies of his country to butcher, starve, and
destroy the gallant men who were fighting
"in. its defence. P. Gray Meek in the last
person who should prate about 'widows, and
orphans, and graves !'
Democracy and Bishop Simpson.
Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Epi
copal Cnurch, is justly regarded as the most
eloquent man now living, and he is reputed,
throughout the Christian world, as one of
the holiest of men. Of this distinguished
clergyman the editor of the Petersburg In
dex a Copperhead paper.writes as follows:
6'ut this Simpson, this political brawler,
this covetous Bishop, who would rob his im
poverished brethren of the South, even of
their places of worship this presider over
a convocation of devil's chaplains, this wolf
in sheep's clothing, who leads a hungry pack
similarly disguised, against the sheep-folds
of the South what shall we say of hira ?
"Only this and nothing more :" "Believing
that he will have to appear at a bar where
his hypocritical disguises will be stripped
from him while
We Jove a priest,
We love a cowl.
We love a prophet of the soul,
Yet for all his faith can see,
W would not this good (?) Bishop be.

"The illness of Senator Grimes at the
very time when his vote was needed to 6ave
Johnson from an unjust conviction, can be
accounted for on no other hypothesis than
that he was deli berately jxnioneti by the sav
age and bloodthirsty mongrels, etc"
Bellefonte Watchman.
A man struck with paralysis, "poisoned. r'
What a fool you are Meek 1 How ready you
are to cry 'stop thief ! ' The audden and sim
ultaneous illness of Senators Howard, Conk
ling, Nye and Morton, just -when their
Totes were needed so couvict the arch trai
tor, is a coincidence much more readily ex
plained on the hypothesis of "poisoning"
than the paralysis of "Old Grimes." Be

Grant and Oolfax.
The Chicaeo Convention did its work well.
No better ticket could have been selected in
all the length and breadth of the land. The
nomination of Grant was a foregone con
clusion. Long before the convention met
the people had determined he should be
Resident, and six .hundred and fatty dele
gates simply recorded the decision of the
oyal masses of the nation in declaring
him the candidate.
It would be affectation in us to present
our readers with a biographical sketch of
one with whose name and deedd they have
been so familliar for the last seven years.
He is identified with the history or the
country and stands to-day pre-eminently the
greatest and the best beloved man on Amer
ican soil. It was fitting tbat he should be
nominated unanimously amidst the wildest
cheering ever witnessed in a political con
vention cheering that has been caught up
and re-echoed across the continent, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific shores. As all
eyes turned to him in the darkest hour of
the war to save the imperilled country, so
now all loyal hearts look to him and trust
him to bring, back to happiness and order
that country saved by his genius and the
heroism of the gallant men who followed
him. The people will not be disappointed.
He will be triumphantly elected, and his
wisdoja,caution,courage,and determination,
with that magnanimity that ' always shone
so couspiciously in the hour of victory, will
signalize an Administration that will be as
successful and as benificient as any in the
annals of our hiatoiy.
In Schuyler Colfax, wc have a candi
date for Vice President, whose fidelity to
the political organization of which he has
ever been a consistent member cannot be
questioned. He was born in the city of
New York in 1823, and in 1836 removed,
with his widowed mother, to St. Joseph
County, Indiana, which is still his home.
In 1854 he was elected to Congress, and has
been six times successively re-elected. His
entrance into Congress was in the great
struggle over the Lecompton swin ile, and
his first speech want forth to repel the tide
of terror that was sweeping over struggling
Kansas, and clearly showed that he was one
of the best debaters in the Lower House.
Over 500,000 copies of his speech were
printed and circulated a compliment never
before received by any member of Congress
"He has been three cinies elected Speaker
of the House, each time" by an increased
majority. His whole character may be
summed up in these words he is a Chris
tian gentleman.
With such a ticket the Republican party
is invincible. As certainly as the Novem
ber sun will sink to his rest, so certainly
will Grant and Colfax be elected President
and Vice President of the United States.

The Soldiers and Sailors National Con
vention assembled in Chicago on Tuesday
theJ9thinst. Gov. Fairchild of Wiscon
sin presided. It was a large and enthusias
tic convention.. ,
Gen. Logan. Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, reported as follows :
Resolved, that The Soldiers and Sailors,
steadfast now as ever to the Union and the
flag, fully recognize the claims of Gen. U
lyssksS. Grant to the confidence of the
American people: and believing that the
victories achieved under his guidance in
war, will be now illustrated by him in times
of peace by such measures as shall secure
the fruits of our exertions.and a restoration
of the Union upon a loyal basis, we declare
it is our deliberate conviction, that he is. the
choice of the Soldiers and Sailors of the
Union for the office of President of the U-
nited btates.
liesolvea, lhat in the mairtenance of
tbose principles which underlie our Govern
ment and for which we fought during four
years oi war, we pledge our earnest and ac
tive sunnort to the Kenuhlican twrtp a tha
only political organization which, in our
judgment, is true to the principles of loyal
ty, liberty, and eoualitv before the law.
ResoltedLhaU soeakinz for ourselves sn..
the soldiers aud sailors who imperilled their
lives to preserve tne Union, we believe that
tne impeachment of Andrew Johnson by
the House of Representatives, for high
crimes at;d misdemeanors in office, and his
trial before the United States Senate, have
presented unmistakeabie proofs of 4ns guilt,
and that whatever may be the judgment of
the tribunal before which he is arraigned,
the verdict of the "neonle is "m.7i-"
regard any Senator who has voted for ac
quittal as tailing short of the proper die
charge of his duty in this hour of the Na
tfcro's trial, and as unworthy of the confi
dence of the DeoDle.
Resolved, That the Soldiers and Sailors
recognize no difference between native and
adopted citizens, and they demand that the
uovernment protect the naturalized citizen
abroad as well as those of native birth.
After the reading of the third resolution
every delegate rose to his feet and gave three
hearty groans for Andrew Johnson and the
.traitorous Republican Senators, while
the band played the "Rogues March."
On motion of Gen. W. M. Gregg of New
lork, the resolutions were unanimously

Ward of New Jersey, Chairman of the Na
tional Committee called the convention to
order. In brief address he urged the del
egates to take no step backward, to demon
strate that the war was no f ailure, and an
emancipated race lifted from slavery to-day
unites with the Republican party to ui'aiu
tain Republican liberty. Neither armed
treason nor political treachery can arrest
the triumph of our cause. Applause. J If
you designate as leader the great captain of
the age, the nation will greet it as a precur
sor or victory to our cause and peace to the
public. Applause.

Permanent Orjranization:reported the name
ot Joseph R. Hawley, ot Connecticut, for

This announcement was received with tre
inendous applause.
The President was conducted to the chair
by Ex-Gov. Solomon, of Wisconsin, , and
Ex-Gov. Brown, of Georgia, amid great
cheenne for Hawley, Brown and the retir
ing Chairman Schurz. When the latter
presented the permanent Chairman, the Con

burst of enthusiasm yet manifested. A '
Gov. Hawley addressed the Convention
as follows : .
Gentlemen of the Convention : I tender
you ray most ereatf ul thanks for the high
honor vou have conferred upon me. Deep!:
impressed by a sense of the responsibilities
of the position, 1 earnestly solicit your in
dulcence and your aid: We came together
with the' momentous duty of scloctine' tho
chief rulers of the great nation which leads
the world in the promotion of freedom' and
equal rights. Applause. The indications
of your purposes and spirit already . gives
assurance that you will maintain the noble
character of the Republican party. W e un
avoidably recall at this time the Convention
ot 1860, with its profound anxieties.its fresh
pure and glowing devotion to liberty.and its
enthusiastic acceptance of the wager ot bat
tle tendered by slavery and secession. lAp

wisdom and success to-day. Applause.
He tested us in a measure, and to an extent
which the liveliest imagination could not
have anticipated. Posterity, we hopewil
decide that we met that test with the spirit
worthy of a free people. Countless treasure
and three hundred thousand lives offered
were the evidence that we were solemnly in
earnest. We offered our lives and our prop
erty, but it was not cnougn : we laid our
prejudices of race and class upon the altar,
and the consciousness that we at least de
served success redoubled our nerve. The
same high resolve rules to-day,and the hon
est men of this country are ready for eaua!
and even ereater sacrifices if they be indis-
pensible to the dedication of this continent
to liberty and to equal rights. Applause
We learned the first lesson when we found
that we must make all men free and call
them to the battle field.- We learned the
second lesson when we found that we mast
still move and give impartially to all men a
share in the governments we were endeav
oring to restore. Great applause. With
a clear and fearless expression on the essen
tial and important questions at issue, which
the people well understand, and no ingeni
ous device, no words can obscure or avoid7 J
passing by all personal and temporary con
troversies ; workinc in perfect confidence
that the American people mean to do richt

of triumph. The power of a nation of for
ty millions must be behind the just claims
of the poorest working man of whatever
race, to recover even and just wages. Ita
majesty must be felt wherever the humblest
loyal man appeals against personal violence
and oppression. Cheers. Every dollar of
the national debt, the blood of a soldier is
pledged for. Enthusiastic cheering. Ev
ery bond in letter and in spirit must be as
sacred as a soldier's grave. Renewed
cheers. J e mast win. It is the old fight
ot liberty, equality and fraternity against
oppression, caste and aristocracy ; it is the
oid fight to make the world better, "with
malice toward none and with charity for all "
IGood applause. We may halt for a mo
ment, or change direction, but the good
cause always goes steadily forward. It is
related, and whether it be true or not, the
incident is well invented, that in the even
ing ot that awful battle of the Wilderness,
when the legions of the Union army Jbad
fought all day rather by faith than by sight
in the wild woods, and tangled brush, that
some man asked General Grant to step
backward a little and reorganize, and that
he replied, "We have done very well, gen
tlemen. At half past three in the nioruing
we move Forward." Lonz continue
cheering. 1 We accept his spirit and his
words. Perhaps I am not anticioati Titr in
saying that we shall accept him in person
again as our leader. Loud cheers.
Thanking you again, gentlemen, very
heartily for th honor conferred. I

The Platform.
The Kational Republican party of the United
States, assembled in national Convention in th
city of Chicago on the 20th day of May, 18SS,
makes the following declaration of principles.-
1. We congratulate the country on tbo assured
success of the reconstruction policy of Cougres
as evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the
States lately in rebellion, ut constitutions secur
ing equal civil and political rights to ail, and re
gard it as the duty of the Uovernment to sustain
those institutions, and to prevent tho people of
sucn btates from being remitted to a state of an
archy.
2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage
to all loyal men at the south was demanded by
every consideration of public safety, of gratitude
ana or justice, and must be maintained. wnue tne
question of suffrage in all the loyal btates prop
erly belongs to tho people of those States
3. We denounce all forms of repudiation as s
National crime, and the National honor requires
tne payment ot tne puonc maeotcaness in tne ut
most good faith to all creditors at home and a
broad, not only according to the letter, but the
spirit of the law under which it was contracted
4. It is due to the labor of the nation that tax
ation should be equalised and reduced as rapid'
ly as the national faith will permit
5. The national debt, contracted as it has been
for the preservation of the Union for all time to
come, should be extended over a fair period for
redemption, and it is tne duty of Congress to re
duce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can
honestly be done.
6. That the best policy to diminish our burden
of debt, is to so improve our credit so that capi
talists will sees: to loan us money at loner rates
of iuterest than we now pay, and must continue
to pay so long as repudiation, partial or total,
open or covert,is threatened or suspected.
7. The Government of the United States should
be administered with tho strictest economy, and
the corruptions, which have been so shamefully
nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson, call
loudly for radical reform.
H. We profoundly deplore the untimely and
tragic death of Abraham Lincoln and regret the
accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency,
who has acted treacherously to the people who
eleoted him and the cause he was pledged to sup
port, has usurped high legislative and judicial
functions, has refused to execute the laws, has
used his high office to induce other omcors to ig
nore and violate the laws, has employed his exe
cutive cowers to render insecure tha nronertv
peace liberty and lite of the citizen, has abused
the pardoning power, has denounced the national
legislature as unconstitutional, Has persistently
and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his
power, every proper attempt at the reconstrue
tion of tbe states lately in rebellion, has perver
ted the public patronage into an engine of whole
sale corruption, and nas been jtrstiy impeached
for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly
pronounoed guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-
five fcenators.
9. 1 ho doctrine of Great Britain and other Ku
ropean powers, that, because a man is once a sub
jeot, he is always so, must be resisted at every
hasard by tr.e united btates as a relic or tbe feu
dal times, not authorised by the law of nations.
and at war with our national honor and indepen
dence. Naturalised oitisens are entitled to be
protected in all their rights of oitixensbip. m
though tney were nativo-born, and no citnen or
the United States, native er naturalized, must be
liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign
power for acts done er words spoken in thiscoun
try . and, if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the
duty of the government to interfere in his be
half.
10. Of all who were faithful in tho trials of the
late war, there were none entitled to more espe
cial honor than tbe brave soldiers and seamen
who endured the hardships of the campaign and
cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service
of the country. The bounties and pensions pro
vided by law for these brave defenders of the na
tion are obligations never to be forgotten, lhe
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the
wards of the people a sacred legacy bequeathed
to the nation protecting care.
II. Foreign emigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of re
sources and increase of power to the nation,
should be fostered and encouraged by a liberial
and just policy. .
If. Xbis convention declares itssympainy
all oppressed peoples struggling for their rignts.
13. Wo highly recommend the spirit of mag
nanimity and forgiveness with which men who
have served tbe rebellion, but now frankly and
honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace
of tbe country and reconstructing the Southern
Bute Governments upon tbe basis of impartial
justice and equal rights, are received back into
the communion ot tne myi ienie,na we tavor
the removal of the disqualifications and restric
tions imposed upon the late lebcls in the same
measure a tfaeapirit of disloyalty will direet and
a may be consistent with the safety of the loyal
people. v
14. We recognise the great principles laid down
in the immortal Declaration of Independence as
tne troe foundation or lmocraUo goTernment. J
and we hail with gladness eerv effort toward
making these principles allying reality en every i
inch of American soil.
