Ot'R TnANKS. We return our sincere i
thanks to the large number of our brethren I
of the press who have so kindly noticed
the enlargement and improvement of our
paper. We will try to deserve their many
commendations.
The Tariff. We cannot imagine any
reason to justify the temporary postpone
ment of the tariff bill. Everybody knows
that all our great manufacturing interests
are languishing for want of protection, and
yet Congress tied the matter up indefinitely.
There is a universal demand, from laboring
men as well as capitalists, for immediate re
lief. What did our legislators mean by turn
ing a deaf ear to their petition ?
Philadelphia O. K. We are glad to
am that the Republicans of Philadelphia
ave nuimnattu iuc
for District Attorney in the place of Win. 13.
Mann and Isaac Ilazlehurst. Mr. Gibbons
ranks among the ablest men of the br iu
Phil'a and his nomination will be hailed
everywhere as a sure harbinger of victory.
The party is now fully united, and we can
expect an old laslnoned majority from the !
City of Brotherly Love nert fall
Judge ScoSeld's Speech. !
We call the attention of our readers to i
the eloquent and able speech of Hon. G.
W. Scofield, delivered in the House of
Representatives on the 14th inst, on "The
purposes of the Republican Party," which
will be found at length on our first page.
It is an able vindication of Republican
principles, and a terrible exposure of Copper
head policy. It is replete with vital thoughts
and deserves a careful reading and a large cir
culation. When you have read it, hand it
to your neighbor and advise him to do like
wise. Gen. J. M. Campbell.
On our fourth page will be found a bio
graphical sketch of the Republican candi

has had a large and diversified experience.

and has at all times evinced tha-e sterling i
qualities that make men equal to every great
emergency of life. Hia administration of
the Land Department, duringthe past three
years has been universally commended,
having been managed effectively, economi
cally, and largely to the interests of the
Commonwe 1th. He has been a faithful !
public servant, and will rw row.r.Io.l 110 . I

"One Currency."
"One Currency" says the Democracy.
And so say the Republicans.
But the One Currency of the Democracy
is depreciated paper.
The One Currency of the Republieans'is
GOLD.
Elect General Grant and peace and pros
perity will follow. And with that, resump
tion of specie payments. And with that,
Gold as the comiuou curreucy, the one cir
culating medium.
Elect Horatio Seymonr.and another Rev
olution, more paper money, a deteriorated
currency and a violated public faith will
follow.
But one Currency, and that Gold.
But one way to reach it, and that peace.
But one Champion of Peaee.and he Gen
eral Grant.
But one Party favorable to Peace and a
sound uniform Currency, the republican
Party..
Democracy offer cme Currency for Rich
aad Poor-depreciated paper. Republicans
offer ore Currenry for.Rich and Poor Gold.
YThich will vou have?
Oracular "William's Second Bulletin.
The IrUh Rip Van Winkle has awaked !
Peripatetic William has actually discovered
that they have a candidate for Vice Presi
dent ! On his travels he has fulminated
another address, in vhich, "by order," he
. .... , H... .,.1
I quietly mentions "l'. I'. lilatr.tne --
dier." He dealt, largely it. such martial terms
as "mighty phalanx," "battle-ground,"
"aggressive warfare," "victory, Ac." It
reminds one of Pope's famous proclamations
from his "headquarters in the saddle."
It is interesting to observe "Sweet Wil
liam's" familiarity with the terms of chiv
alry, and the manner in which he prostitutes
them to his base purposes. One is forcibly
reminded of another struggle in which YY il
liam didn't exhort his followers to "organize
for victory-" Wo recall that other time
when Pennsylvania was "the battle ground"
and we remember that if the counsels of
the martial William had been followed, the
brave heroes of the Republic would not
have hurled defeat and death into the ranks
of their country's enemies, palsied the black
arm of treason, and consecrated for the ages
the historic field of Gettysburg. Then Wil
liam's exhortations to his followers were not
to carry on "an aggressive warfare," but to
resist the draft, and to refuse to "furnish
another man or another dollar to carry on
the war." Then instead of a Union officer
being "a gallant soldier," hi was a "Lincoln
hireling," as were all the"boys in blue," who
were clashed with the "niggers" and denied,
by the veritable Wi Ham, the right to vote.
Then his whole sympathies were with the
armed "phalanx" that struck at the flag of
hia country, at law and order, at religion and
God. Like the candidate whom he is la
boring to elevate to the highest position in
the gil t of the people, he opposed the draft,
screened those who defied the Government.
placed every obstacle in the way of its suc-
cess, and so far as his influence extended,
gave moral aid and comfort ta the rebellion.
He is anxious in this proclamation that
the "warfare" shall be "asgressive," and
calls upon his followers to "defend nothing."
There is method in William's madness. He
well knows their whole record is indefensible,
and that the only possible hope for candi
dates and party is to keep that revolting
record iu the back-ground. But the effort
will be in vain. The very children are fa
miliar with iu Like the ghost of Banquo
"it will not down," but in all its hideous de
formity will continue to stare the loyal peo
ple of the land in the face as long as history
itself shall endure.
A Fair SDecicien.
Among the conglomerated Rebels ana
Copperheads iu the New Voik contention,
Kx-Gov. Vhticc of Nonli Carolina stood
conspicuous. He was the lea ler of the North
Carolina delegation, which cast its first bal
I lot for Seymour, lie is the same individual
I who declared during the war that he "was
going to fight the Yankees until hell was
frozen over and then lie would fin lit them
on the ice." He subsequently addressed
'he rebel so diers in the trenches, and urged
them to "pile hell so full of Yankees that
their feet would stick out of the windows."
On his way home from the convention
this chivalries delegate stopped at Rich
mond, and declared that what thecunfudor
aey fought- fur would be secorJ by the elec
tion of Seymour and B air 1
This is not only a fair specimen of the
kind of men who nominated .Seymour, but
also of the expe tations with which he was
selected as their candidate. lie is the choice
of the vilest traitors in the land the men
who carved the bones of Union soldiers into
drinking cups, who deliberately murdered
helpless and unarmed prisoners of war and
slaughteed inoffensive women and chil
dren as at Lawrence. These vile wretches,
- . : i .. . i , .i i
uoici:riii;ini,imiuueiii, ana uoasii ui as ever,
. ' ' si.m . . u ,
worslnp Seymour as tlie god ot their idolatry,
because they see in him hope for their '"lost
! cause, pardon lor their crimes, venteance
on the loyal people of the land, restitution
of forfeited rights, possession of tb.e Govern
ment, a return to the bnibarh-ui cf slavery,
spoils, plunder, and blood.
Tje Fourteenth Amendment.
The fourteenth amendment is now a part
of the Constitution of the Unite IStates, its
ratification by the Legislatures of South
Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama com j. let .
ing the uumber of states required, n t
withstanding the revocation of its ratinVa
tion by the Copperhead Legislatures of Ohio
and New Jersey. This amendment settles
the matter of suffrage in the Southern
States. here any portion of the citizens
of a Slate are denied the right of suffrage
for any cause but crime, duly -established,
such citizens are uot counted in the basis of
representation. South Carolina may con
clude to return to a "white man's govern
ment," disfranchising the blacks but she
would thereby reduce her representation in
Congress from five to two members. There
is no danger of Soath Carolina or any other
Stata doing this.
Wade Hampton on his way south, made
a speech at a Democratic meeting U, Balti
more, where he made his special acknowl
edgements to the rebel soldiers from Mary
land, thanking litem for having swept across
the line an! stood shoulder to shoulder with
South Carolina in the great contest for lib
erty ! !
Infamous Fraud. j
The inventors of "coffee colored naturali
zation papers," and railroad colonizing,
have been out done by their copperhead
brethern of New Haven, Connecticut The
thousand and one swindling tricks which the
Democrats annually practice, are all thrown
in the shade by this last piece of unmittiga
ted villainy.
The election law of Connecticut passed
the Legislature on Saturday, and was de
posited in the office of the Secretary of State,
in the usual way, during the recess. When
it was taken up en Monday for the purpose
of having it engrossed, it was discovered
that it had been deliberately and systemati
cally altered. One of the provisions which
had been bitterly fought by the Democrats,
had been entirely obliterated with acids,and
the whole meaning of the act changed by
the insertion of another clause. Eight dis
tinct erasures were detected, made in the
style and w ith the appliances of an expert
forger.
Such an outrage, is without paralcll in
the history of this country. There eccrns to
be nothing too despicable, base and mean
for democratic politicians to resort to for the
accomplishment of their purposes. The
frauds in Pennsylvania last fall, perpetrated
with the knowledge, if not at the instiga
tion of the chairman of the state committee,
together with this last outrage, illustrate
nearly every crime in the catalogue-forgery,
perjury, larceny, bribery, burglaryand mur
der ! What would they not do if they had
the power ?
"The Principles of Democracy"
The Pirate Semnies, in his speech at
the Seymour and Blair meeting at Mobile,
Alabama, last week said:
"I have been a Democrat all my life be
fore tl'.e war, during the war, and since the
war nnd J ou.ht the war on the principles
of Democracy."
Precisely so. He used to hoist the stars
and stripes as a decoy for unarmed merchant
vessels, and then, when they approached
near enough, seized, plundered and burned
them. Thu he illustrated, embellished,
and demonstrated the "principles of De
mocracy." lie unsheathed his sword against
the country that nourished and protected
him, and when his ship was finally encount
ered and sunk by a loyal vessel, he 6neaked
off for protection to British soil. A traitor,
a rebel, a robber and a pirauj a purloiner
of quadrants, barometers, and chronometers
a dirty thief, a cowardly sneak, a perfect
Copperhead, it is only natural that he should
hasten to rejoice over the nomination of
Seymour and Blair.
Not Taken.
A gentleman, who was a looker on at the
Reb-Cop convention in New York, left
10,000 at the St. Nicholas Hotel, to Lot
that Grant and Colfax would he elected.
Geo. Wiikes, editor of the sporting paper
j the 'Spirit of the Times,' also offers to bet
t $5000 in the sau e way. The money has been
up for the last two weeks, but not a "Cop"
!iascotne forward with the'sponds.' Couldn't
"S ir William" spare enough from the funds
of the State Committee to cover these
amounts? Poor Seymour ! Nota"Cop"has
a copper to bet on his election.
A Claim. Seymour wants to know what
claim the Republicans have upon the sol
diers. Certaiuly not the same that he has.
He was the Chairman of the Convention
that declared the war a failure, and the in
citer, aider and abetter of the New York
riots to prevent the draft. If this doesn't,
constitute a claim on the soldiers wo cannot
conceive what would. But it is on the sol
diers who fought in "gray" under the "stars
and bars."
Cofff.e ix Photography. An Italian
named Ottavio Bavatti, has invented a pro
cess of preparing photographic plates with
coffee, so that m twenty-two months they
give excellent negatives after ten seconds of
of exposure. He is entirely behind the age.
He ought to come over and take lessons
from 'sweet William' whose 'coffee process,'
produces ancient naturalization papers iu
less than twenty-two minutes !
The Next Step. Andrew Jol nson hav
ing abolished all distinction between loyal
and disloyal soldiers, it will require-but one
step more to put the rebel soldiers, thei
widows and orphans, ou the same pension
list with Union soldiers' widows and or
phans. If he Democracy are restored to
power this will undoubtedly be done.
"Barkis is "Wilms. "Pirate Semmes
has avowed his willingness to renew his al
legiance to he old fi3g, provided Seymour
and Blair are elected I What stupendous
magnanimity ! We suppose if they are not
elected lie will immediately start off on
another piratical cruise. These rebels want
another thrashing and they'll get it.
Honor. Seyihoursaid that his "private
honor would not permit" him to become a
candidate. But he did. He said also that
"public honor required the scrupulous ful
fillment of our financial obligations." But
he stands on the Pendletonian repudiation
platform! What a delicate sense of "honor"
he has, to be sure ?
'"Eypt is in a blaze of enthusiasm for
Seymour. ' ' iringridJ Register.
We hope the blaza wo'nt burn the pyramids,
as it did the orphan assylum in 1S63.
Who Kominated Blair.
The following Mtracts from the proceed
ings of the Tammany Convention, fchow
conclusively by whom Blair was nominate 1
and whose candidate he is :
The Reb. Ge,n. Preston of Kentucky said:
"I now have the privilege of nominating as
a candidate for the Vice "Presidency of the
United States General Francis P. Biair, of
.Missouri." Applause.
A Rebel delegate from North Carolina
said :
"Mr. President, North Carolina makes ne
nomination tiir Vice President, but in order
to show the people of the Uuited States that
we have no prejudice against a gallant sol
dier w ho lought. for his section of the coun
try, we desire to second the nomination of
of Gen. Francis P. Biair." Applause.
Judge Campbell of South Carolina, one
of th3 rebel peace commissioners at Fortress
Monroe, said :
"The State of South Carolina answers
her call, not by her chairman, but by
her best beloved son, a soldier who knows
hotter than I how to inierchange the cour
tesies which belong to enemies in war and
friends in peace. I have the honor to in
troduce to this Convention Mr. Wade
Hampton." Loud cheers
Gen. Wade Hampton then said :
"It is due to that Convention which so
cordially approved your platform ; it is due
to the South, and I, for uv State, most
heartily and cordially second the nomina
tion." A delegate from Alabama said :
"Au a ruliul eril.lior nf A 1.1 II l.'l. I take
ileasure in castine her vote for the gallant
Jnion soldier Frank P. Blair.
The Reb. Gen. Kemper of Virginia said:
"As a son of the old Commonwealth of
Virginia, I am instructed to strike hands
with the soldiers of the army of the North. -in
the name of Virginia, to accept and raiily,
as a token of the p-rpetuity of this Union,
the nomination of Major General Irancis
P. Blair; of Missouri."
The Reb. Gen. Forrest, of Fort Pillow
notoriety said :
"I have the pleasure, sir. to cast the vote
of Tennessee for Genral Blair. And I here
wish to take this occasion to think the dele
gates here for the kind and uniiormly cour
teous treatment that the Southern delegates
have received at this Couveneion." Great
cheering.
The Reb. Gen. Ashbel Smith of Texas
said :
"Mr. President, I esteem it a groat honor
that I have been requested by the chairman
of the Texas delegation and members of that
delegation on thisoecasion. to cast the six
votes of the State of Texas for Major Gen
eral Frank P. Blair.
The revolutionary letter of Frank P. Blair
was a decided catch. The rebels bit at it
like a trout at a fly. A second rebellion,
with the posession of all the departments of
the Government, would be a very different
affair from the first. They are for Seymour
and Blair repudiation and rebellion. They
hope and believe that the "lost causa" may
be regained by the success of the Democratic
ticket and platform.
The People's Man.
General Grant, though not a politician
has a p-irenthetical way of statins great
truths"1 -sntlous facta which isremark
anie. Y- -- "'.
As ear'3' as the second year of the war, in
a letter to Mr. Washburne, he writes: "I
never was an Abolitioni t not even what
could he called anti-slavery but I try to
judge fairly and honestly, and it became
patent to my mind early in the rebellion
that the north and south could never live in
peace with each other exaept as one nation,
and that without slavery."
And, again : "As anxious as I am to see
peace established, I would not therefore be
willing to sec any settlement until this ques
tion is settled."
In his general order to his soldieis after
the capture of General Lee, in referring to
the enforcement of the emancipation proc
lamation, he calls "slavery the cause and
pretext of the rebellion."
In his famous letter to the President,
while acting as Secretary of the War ad
iuterin,h& says : "I stated that the law was
binding upon me, constitutional or not,
until set aside by the proper tribunal" a
doctrine that will do to stand by.
In his te-timorty before the Impeachment
Committee, he says: "1 have always been
attentive to my own duties, and tried not to
interferewith other people's." And. again:
"I never was in favor of general amnesty
until the time should come when it would
be safe to give it."
In his correspondence with President
Johnson in reference to the removal of
General Sheridan from the district of Lou
isiana, he says: '"This is a Republic where
the will of the people is the law of the land.
I beg that their voice may be heard."
In his speech to the committee appointed
to inform him ot his nomination, he said :
"If chosen President, I shall have no polisy
of my own to enforce against the wi".l of the
people. ' '
In his letter accepting the Republican
nomination, he says: "Purely administra
tive officers should always ;e left to execute
the will of the people. I have always respec
ted that will and always shall."
These are only samples of Gen. Grant's
manner of expressing truth, culled at ranch m
from our fil s; hut they are "apples of gold
in pictures of silver" and show to the peo
ple the manner of man he is.
ITo Damage3.
It wiil remembered that when Presi
dent Johnson was "swinging around the cir
cle," a crowd gathered to see him as he pass
ed Johnstown; that the platform at the
railway station broke down under the weight
of the people ; that lives were lost; and that
suits were brought to recover damages. The
Supreme Court has decided, Judge Shars
wood delivering the opinion, that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is not liable.
The Court held that the platform of a rail
way company is not a public highway; that
it is a structure erected expressly to accom
modate passengers arriving and departing,
and that all other persons entering upon it
are trespassers, who can be ordered off or
removed by whatever force may be necessa
ry. As the individuals injured at Johns
town were not passengers, but were drawn
to the station, and upon the platform, to
gratify curiosity, they were where they had
no legal right to be, and heBee the company
cannot be made answerable for any injury
happening to them when there.

Threa Pacta.
Schuyler Colfax said in 1S64 :
I will lay down three facts here, the truth
of which no mao, be he Democratic editor
or orator will dare to challenge :
Every man who is a leader iu the rebel
lion in the South, such as President, A iee
President, mc-mbersof the Cabinent, Speak
er of the House of Representatives the heads
of their armies, every one of them is a Dem
ocrat of the olden time.
Second. Every man they relied opon in
the North, when they drew the sword of
treason against the country and raised the
banner red with blood, is a Democratic lead
er to-day.
Third. The Administration which was in
power when the rebellion broke out, which
could by prompt and vig orous measures
have crushed it in its infancy, as Jack
sou crushed nullification and treason in
South Carolina thirty years ago ; that Ad
ministration which looked on with closed
eyes and ears, allowing the rebellion to go
on, and doing not one thing to save the
Union from destruction, was in all parts
Democratic. And further : Every man who
stood up in Congress in that dark winter,
when State after State was seceding, and
said: "o coercion !" "You cannot coerce
a sovereign Stale" every one was a Demo
crat. The Indictment.
Horatio Seymour stands indicted for :
1. Inciting to Riot.
2. Yielding to Rioters their demands on
tlie Government at the Peril of the Nation.
3. Threatening the President of the Uni
ted States with the disorderly violence of
"the People," it he proceeded in efforts vi
tally necessary to the salvation of the Union.
Horatio Seymour is therefore, a Foiiieu
ter of Sedition, a Champion of Rioters, a
Menaeer of Government.
A Foiuenter of Sedition, in that he told
the turbulent masses of New York City that
a Mob had sn equal right with the Govern
ment to proclaim the law of public necessity.
A Champion of Rioters, iu that he es
poused their cause, said thac they should be
satisfied, and demanded of the Government,
that the draft should be suspended and
stopped, at their violent behest.
A Menaeer ot Government, in that he
warned it of the "temper of the people," if
it did not yield to him and hi-i riotous friends.
And all this in criminal disregard of the
imminent peril in which hi.- country and its
dcfendeis were placed at the time.
The Funding Bill.
The Committee of Conference on the
funding bill agreed unmi nously upon a
bill which met with the approval of
each house, and is now in the hand
of the President It provides for two
classss of bonds, principal and interest guar
anteed in coin ; one at four per cent, and
payable iu forty 3"ears ; the other at four
and a half per cent., payable in thirty years,
both exempt from all taxation except income
tax. They are to be i.-sued in an nmouut
equal to tlie .-outstanding o bonds, anil
used only in redeeming thorn. The bill also
provides that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall pay no commission on sales of gold or
negotiation of government securities, and
that one hundred and thirty -five millions
shall be set aside annually from customs and
devoted to the payment of interest and
principal of these new bonds.
The "White Man's Got eminent !'
The Clearfield "nigger damners" tan re
fresh themselves with the following from
thesieoig:a "Telegraph" of thelTih, hist a
sterling 'Democratic'1 paper.
"Hundreds of colored voters were in the
Seymour and Blair procession, iu Macon,
last Wednesday night, and thousands more
cheered it on with riirht good will. The
talk about 'a conflict of races" is all stuff.
Tlie Democrats iu rhis canvass arc going to
illustrate not a conflict, but a co oppptation
of rocrx. We mean that somewhere between
lour-fifths and nine-tenths of the Georgia
ne roes shall vote with us, and by our side,
in this election; and we mean in this to do
not the slightest violence to the negro's in
clination. He shall vote as he chooses, and
he shall vote for his own best interests and
happiness."
STILL PROPHETIC Robert Toombs lias I Plae0' beginning containing 2!S acres and 5
! porches and allowance. A .to all defendants in
been making a speech for Sevmour a,ld I tereM tho timber standing upon the old home-
Blair. He thinks if they are elec ed, his
prophecy that "he would call the roll of his
slaves within the shadow of Bunker Hill
Monument," will yet be fulfilled. Faith is
a cardinal virtue.
"The Drift of the Tide." The I Jock -fori
(111.) Gazette states that upwards of a
hundred Democrats a majority of them
J'eiiiaiis participated in the I
primary elections in that city last week, and
pledged theni-.tlves to vote for C rant and
Colfax.
True for Brick. Brick Pomeroy says
"Had the leaders of the Democratic party
been more earnest for principle, nnd less for
plunder, no power on earth could ever have
placed us in a minority."
