Frank Blair, having got on the wrong side by a.-idcnt, wants to or ganize another, that he too may be recog nized as a rebel. Hon. G. W. Scofield. . All the Counties in the di-trirt having instructed for Ifon. G. W. Scofield fur Con gress, we place his name in the list of can didates. This unanimous re-nomination is not only a very high personal compliment to Mr. Scoiiold, but is an evidence of the zeal, fidelity and ability with which he has represented the interests of his constituents, lie occupies a high position in Congress, be ing regarded as one of the ablest and most eloquent debaters in the House. He will be triumphantly re-elected. A Second Rebellion. At the Democratic ratification meeting in Kichmond, Virginia, Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, a delegate to the New York Con vention, said : "My idea is that what the Confederacy fought for will le won by the election of Seymour and Blair." Governor Wise, of Virginia, also spoke ; he said ; "I do not care for the platform. It tells a lie in the first resolution. It says secession is dead ; that is not so, secession is more alive than ever. I support the nominees, and especially Blair, because he has declared he would assume military power." If this, taken in connection with Blair's letter, does not mean that the success of the Democratic ticket is to be the signal for a second rebellion, what does it mean ? In a False Position. " Horatio Seymour in the last of his loug series of declinations said : "Permit me to say that now, after all that hfis taken place, I could nut be nominated without placing myself and the great Dem ocratic party of the nation iu a false jxisi tion." Of course, then, "the great Democratic party is in a false position," or else it has a "false" candidate. llsw lamentable, to be sure! One would think it was something new for that party to be in a false position, but it never was in any other, save while it was in rebellion against the Government. Then the mask was off, and it was in its true position. The people saw its vampire face, as it sucked the blood of three hundred thousand noble braves, and they will never lorgct nor forgive it. The Judgeship. The Copperheads are getting into a mud dle about Judge M Knaiiy's sueeessor. j Each County in tho district prc.-outs a can- ! didate, auxious to serve the perpl as a ; JaJe. Clearfield in-truets for G. R. Bar rett. Centre fur J. II. Orvis, and Clinton for Chas. M aver. Where the eomproiir.e is to come in, it is not exactly easy to per ceive. Tho last "Democratic Watchmm" urges tho notuiimti jii of Mr. Orvis in a Ions and highly complimentary article, puttim; him forward as one of the very first lawyers iu the State. In the meantime, certain ex perienced wire-pullers of this County are in the other part of the district ijuictly arrang ing a eotip retat by which Judge Barrett is to come off victorious. What Mayer's friends are about iu Clinton, we are nut in formed, but unless he has Lis eyes open he wi!i be likely to "conic out at the little end of the horu." W hen they have settled the matter and decided who is to be their candidate, it will be time enough for us to inquire whether or not we will make a nomination. There is at least ,m of the candidates named who caa be defeated if he is nominate I, even in tins Democratic district. Wc will Li.lc our "Sweet "William's" Address. Tlij astute William, "by order of the Democratic State Committee," is out in another characteristic address. William af fects the Napoleonic style of writing, and what his laconic paragraphs lack in gram mar, terseness, and sense, they fortunately (to ue a Celtic expression, )make up in brev ity. William evidently handles tic pen very much as a bear w 'd a darning needle. The singular tiling about this "Address" is, that it entirely omits all mention of F. P. Blair, the candidate for the Vice Presidency. Seymour is presented as "a statesman and an holiest man," but Blair is entirely ig ntHred. Why? They can't vote far Sey mour without voting for Blair, then why omit him from the official proclamation? Is it because he was a soldier for a while in the Union army ? Can't William bring himself to speak in deeent terms of a soldier, even when he has joined his party and is its can didate? There is something queer about this omission, and we leave it to the faithful tw inquire why the candidate for the second highest effice iu thegift of the people should be treated with so much disrespect by the Chairman of the State Committee. The substance of this "Address" is sim ply a re vamping of the old clap-trap about the "nigger" and the "taxes." William is still suffering from "nigger on the brain." He either doesn't know, or u attempting to conceal the fact from his followers, that in Louisiana, at tire recent election, the candi date of liis party for Governor was a negro, and that ho was supported by all the Dem ocrats in the State; that the New York H oc , the metropolitan organ of his party, 1 , r, . . and the leading Democratic newspaper in j the United States, during the session of the .'., nvi titiim suit! : "We trn.-t there wilt be no such nonsense in the phi orm as that this is exeliiivclv a j white man's government, for ''. was never nt uny timr. it -' mocrafii: doeli ii,e." Why doe he not tell Lis adherents what is the truth, that iu Washington and Sun Mower counties, in J '.ississippi, at the last election. Lis party actually ran a "nigge1-" for the same position he holds himself ?:.ite Senator that his name was William Cutubash, and that he turned out to be a deserter from the.'i2d U. S. Colored Infantry? hy does he not tell them, further., that on Mond ty evening of last week, the great "Kinpire Club" of New York was address ed by Mr. Qiiigley, a ."colored gentleman" from Georgia, wh hud been attending the Democratic National Convention? This "dntiuuiig i5m nitgur'' is played out. Nau seous as thedo.-e is,William and his copper bottomed followers will have to swallow it, "wool," "stent h," "shins" and all. His assertion that the Republican party "has given us four years of war, grinding taxation, and three thousand millions of debt," is a falsehood so stale that it scarce deserves notice. Does ho imagine that the people are fools, or that they have forgotten the great and notorious fact that the war, the taxes, and the debt were forced upon tho countiy ly the ttnd.iind tflWts of Kebels and Copperheads to overthrow the Govern ment, and the pusillanimity of Buchanan, the Detiir.cratic President, who had the pow er to have crushed the rebellion in the start, amitobavo fcaved millions of dollars and thousands of precious I!? The less lie says about the war, the taxes, and the debt the better. His record, and that of his party are alike loo fresh in public recollection. lie says the Democratic "policy is one of thoughtful foresight; of cautious statesman ship; it seeks no new path." We should say not, decidedly, judging from Frank Blair's letter. It is the same old path of nullification, revolution, and repudiation. It seeks to nullify the iaws of Congress, to disperse, by force, tho new State Govern ments in the South, to repudiate the nation al obligations, to restore the rebels to power, to take possession of the Union, which they could not destroy.and rule it in the interests of slavery. It is no new path, but it is one in which the people of this redeemed land will never tread -again. They have had ! enough of the horrors of rebellion and war. Henceforth they are determined, with Gen. Giant, to IIAVK PKACK. Haumonv Re.-tkb.ed. We are pleased to see that our friends in Philadelphia have settled their troubles, and that Mr. Mann and Mr. Hazlehurst have both withdrawn from the contest for the office of District Attorney. Mr. Charles Gilpin will Le plae- eu in nommati.m. He was formerly Mayor j of the city, and i a gentleman of fine abilt- ! ties and attainments, and of the highest! reputation. These arrangements remove j ali dissatisfaction from the Republican ranks in that city, and ensure a splendid triumph at the polls. New Paper. We find among our ex changes this wtek, a new paper called the "run.rsutaH nj rf.llndcaler,'- published at j Punxsutawney, JetTerson County. It i i neutral in politics,neatlyi,rintej arl(j weUej. ited. We wish it prosperity anJ success. Punxsutawney is about the last plate on earth from which we expected to see a news paper. Blair is in favor of overthrowing the gov ernments formed in every Southern State. He is for Nullification first and Revolution afterwards. His election means another war to bring things ba-A a they stood in ISGO. What They Mean. "Let us have peace," says Gen. Grant in his letter of acceptance, and to this the whole Republican party give3 a hearty as sent. "Let us have war," Is, on the other hand, the plain intimation of the Dempcratic leaders, and to this sentiment the faithful are expected to respond. Had the managers of the New York Con vention expressed this idea in their platform in so many words, they could scarcely have made it more distinct than it is. The res3 lutions adopted by that body substantially declare that the reconstruction of the Rebel States, under the several Acts of Congress, shall not be permitted to stand, but fchall be overturned, if need be, by military force, if Mr. Horatio Seymour can be elected Presi- d"1- ' We regard.'say they, "the reconstruc tion acta (so-called) of Congressas such, as usurjiations, and uncons'itutional, revolu tionary and void." This means if it has any meaning at all, that the Acts of Con gress are of no binding effect that they can with impunity be disregarded or set aside and theieby the Ilebels of the South arc invited again to engage iu insurrection and rebellion. If there cmld be any r30in for Jjubting that this is what the Convention means, the letter of Francis P. Blair, who was nom inated for Vice President, probably be:ause he wrote that letter, can not fail to give the proper interpretation of the platform and the designs of the Democratic leaders. That it may bo fully understood in all it bearing s, we append the letterentire. It is as follows : Washington, June3, 1808. -.... r..l .

"I repeat that this i the real and only question which we should allow to con troluB. Shall we submit to the usurpations by which tilt!4 Oovernuient has been over thrown, or shall we exert mnudves for its full and complete restoration ? It isMl- talk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public faith, and the public credit. What can a Democratic President do in rounr l to any of these, with a Congress in both branches con trolled by tho carpet-baegers and their al lies? He will be powerless to stop the sup plies ly which the idle negroes aie organ ized into political clubs by which an army is maintained to protect these vagabonds in their outraecs upon tho ballot. These and things like these, eat up the revenue ami resources of the Government and destroy its credit make the difference bttween gold and jrrecnbncks. We must restoie the Con stitution before we can restore the finances. and to do this we must have a President J who will execute the will of the people by trampling into dust the usurpations of Con- j gre-, known as the Reconstruction acts.

A Little of Everything. The unusual drought is withering up the vege tation. "Wilt thou?" aaid the Convention to Seymour, and he wilted. Seniles, the pirate, has been making a tpeech for eymour and Blair. The Republican convention of Centre county is to meet on the 5th of August.

It is very evident from -Sweet William's" ad dress that the Copperhead canvass is to be simply a crusade against the soldier. It is hard to tell which "Billy" hates the moat the "nigger" or the soldier. The Importers and Traders Bank.of Sew York, was robbed of f 30,000 in bonds and cash, while the Democratic Convention was in session. The delegate who carried off the file has not been discovered.

Ilagerty, a contractor and L'emocratic candidate for the Legislature, came to me and said he had no doubt a large number of these false papers were being distributed ; I asked him to get me some ; he said a eon tractor could get them for me ; I went and saw the contractor ; he said he had men un der him who had some ; he obtained some tor me; they are the same as I took to Mr. Iloyt ; I was to return them ; I took all back but two blanks ; left with Mr. Hoyt two of these papers ; had names filled in ready for voting ; in the 1 democratic districts the vote was considerable over the election following. The counsel for the contestant offered the following motion : That tie committee go to Wilkesbarre on Thursday and take the testimony, that the committee are unable to procure in tiarrisburg, and examine the rocoid. The motion was sustained by the committee, and they decided to leave on Thursday at one o'clock. Wilkesbarre. Luzerne Co., 1 February 7, t A. M 180S. f Committee met in the prothonotary's office.

The certified copy of voters in Rush town ship, and the thirty eight names who voted in Philipsburg borough on naturalization papers were compared with this record and none of the names found on it. N. B. Welliver recalled : I cannot find the naturalization docket of i860; have not seen it for three weeks ; do not know where it is or who took it away; this is the proper place for it ; it is not customary for it to be taken away : to the best of my knowledge it is not iu tbe office at the present time ; John Merrick is the other clerk in thisoftlce we have no naturalization docket for 1807 recorded ; I now produce tbe original natur alization papers for 1867.

A great invalid Frank must be ! In an artiele on tho campaign in Massa chusetts, the Boston Journal makes this gratifying statement: "As to this State, af ter having given Lincoln 44,000 majority over all, in I860, and nearly 78, 0i) majority toward his re-election in 1804, she will be sure to do quite as well, if not better, for Grant and Colfax ; in fact we thall roll up one of the graudest majorities on record."
