How the Rebels Talk
But few Northern people see Southern
papers, and hence little is known here of
the manner in which the canvass is con
ducU'd in the Southern States. From time
to time we have quoted from the speeches
made by Southern orators on both sides,
from which it is manifest that, while the
Bupporters of Grant and Colfax favor the
maintenance of the laws and are for peace,
the adherents of Seymour and Blair defy
the laws and openly proclaim that if they
are not successful iu electing their candidates
they will plunge the country into another
rebellion. The most popular speakers at
present on the Southern Democratic stump,
are of the fire eating sort, like Mr. Ramsey,
of North Carolina, who continues to repeat
the most violent threatcn'mcs to "recover"
the lost cause "at all hazards," and whose
remarks are always received with ioud ap
plause by the supporters of Seymour and
Blair. In a late speech, Mr. Ramsay (
said : I
" We irill now, at all h izards. recover I
our lost lilerties,uni restore the State. We I
are in the midst of a great revolution, which
may end peaceably at the ballot box, but if
not, then the true men of the South will
rally once more around their now folded
banner, ami will try the issue at the car
tridfelox. Remember the ancestors from
which you sprung. There are men in the
AorfA who are now ti idi withiiiu, and icho
willy in such a cuijtict, if ueccsyarji, lead
your hatallions. We did not make the oth
er war. It was forced upon ns. We simp
ly stood for the rights for which our fath
ers bled. And we will stand there again,
come peace or war."
Thus, it would seem, that the Southern
wing of the Democratic party (the late rcb-
els) anticipate, in the event ef the election
of Seymour and Blair, their restoration to
supreme power and control in the Southern
States (an event which they failed to estab
lish in their recent appeal to arms), and
should they fail, "peaceably at the ballot
box" in November,to be reinstated in their
anticipate power, then they threaten to
again "try the issue at the cartridge box."
The lessons of the past should suffice them
for the future.
But, it should.be borne in mind that, Mr.
Ramsay is not the only ex rebel who talks
in this wise. All the Southern Democratic
orators speak in the same tone, and utter
sentiments of the same import. Not one
of them has as yet raised his voice for peace.
All are for war "at all hazards" relying
upon Seymour and his "friends," as will be
. , .
scea in the above extract, for aid in their
new rebellion. Will that aid le fortheom
ing? That they have "friends" in the
North who would rejoice in another reVd-
lion is, no doubt, true ; but it is m,,,!!,
' t
true, that the great mass of the people are I
loyal to the Union, and should necessity re
quirei them so to do, they will again cheer-

The Zen:ncky Election.
TheDemo.racy have been making a great
blow over a pretended gain in Kentucky at
the late election in that State. A retro
spect for the hist eight years will, however,
reveal the fact that there Is nothing to dis
courage ihe Republicans, in the recent re
sult in Kentucky.
l-i 1800. at the Presidential election in
that State, over J 14, IK Mi votes were polled
for the anti -Kepubliean candidates. Abra
ham Lincoln received 1.364 votes. At no
time since then, until this year (with the
mass of voters at houie) have strictly party
candidates been plan d in the field ; so that
the true feeling in that rebel sympathizing
State coul l never Lc arrived at until the
present time.
Now the result This year Stevenson,
the Democratic caudidate for 'Jovernor on
the New York platform, received 113,524
votes. The Republican candidate, Mr. Ba
ker, ran on the Chicago platform as the
supporter of Grant ud .Colfax, and receiv
ed 26,275 votes. By comparing the aggre
gate vote of I860, it will be seen that the
numbers are near'y the same. But there
has been a decrease of over 25,000 in the
rebel vote, while on the other hand the U
nioti vote has been increased nearly 25,(MX,
or an average gain of over 3,000 votes year
ly since the election of Abraham Lincolnjn
I860. At this rate of conversion, if any
party "has cause to rejoice, it certainly is
not the Democratic, whose forces are stead
ily being weakened in the strongest State
they can boast of. If our gain is in the
same ratio in every State of the Union,
Grant and Colfax will carry tbeUnion by a
larger majorisy in November than any
Presidential tieket has ever before received.
Hurrah, then, for Kentucky !
Republican County Convention.
Pursuant to notice a number of the Re
publicans of Clearfield county, met at the
Court House, on Tuesday, Septeml-cr 1st,
I SOS, in adjourned Convention for the pur
pose of nominating a County ticket, and
transacting other business.
The Convention was called to order by
II. B. Swoope, Esq., Chairman of the
County Committee, when on motion Elisha
Kenton was chosen President,-Joseph Win
cry, G. P. Mattern, John V. Wright,
Juab Rid r, Vice I'residints; and Ed.
C. Brenner and S. J. Row. Secretaries,
On motion it was resolved that the Con
vention proceed to nominate candidates for
county officers.
On motion, the usual mode of making
nominations be dispensed with, whereupon
the following nominations were made.
Sampson B. Lingle, of Goshen township,
for Prothonotary.
Frederick B. Caldwell, of Curwensville,
for llegister and Recorder.
Hubert Mitchell, of Clearfield, for Com
missioner. Harry Goss, of Osceola, for Auditor.
Thos. W. Moore, of Penn, for County
Surveyor.
On motion, liexohed. That three Confer
ees Le appointed, to meet a like number of
Conferees from Clinton and Centre counties,
to nominate a candidate lor Judge of this
Judicial District, if deemed expedient;
whereupon II. 15. Swoope.John II. Fulford
and M. W. Tate, E-qr's., were chosen said
Conferees, with power to substitute.
On motion, Ursulred, That Hon. J. B.
.M'Kiiully is the first choice of the Republi
cans of this county as candidate for Judue
of ,1,is district should
a notuiuation be
thought expedient.
After some apropriate remarks by H. B.
Swoope, Esq., the Convention adjourned
sine die.
General Risecran.s must feel heartily
ashamed of himself for the part lie played
in the late rebel conclave at White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia. A man who has won his
laurels on the field of battle in the cause of
the Union, should not permit the old enemy
in time of peace to seduce him from the
path of duty. The crafty R isecrans has
been tricked, and we dare say feels like don
ning sack cloth and ashes.
Here are a few zephyrs taken at random
from the Southern press: read them, and
ponder over them : The Chatanooea union,
after admonishing Forrest and his friends
not to be "too hasty," closes with these
words: 'Suffer any and all taunts or tyr: n
ny until after X'n-emhi r, and then well we
would rather be a nimble squirrel than a
white Radical."
Honest on that Point. George W.
Woodward. Democratic member of Congress
from Luzerne, recently said in substance in
a speech at Great Bend. Susquehanna coun
ty : "Schuyler Colfax is the best presiding
officer it has ever been my fortune to know.
He is a gentleman and scholar, and the only
fault I havet o find with him is that he is a

"The Drift of tlie Tide."
Below we give some more examples of
the way the "tide," is "drifting all over the
country :
The Raleigh (North Carolina) Standard
says that the Hon. Nat Boyden, Democratic
Congressman repudiates Seymour and B'.air.
S. D. Clay, of Gardiner, Maine, a promi
nent and influential Democrat, has repudia
ted Seymour and Blair, and is working for
Grant and Colfax.
Maxwell P. Gaddis, a prominent man in
Southern Ohio, who switched off into the
Democratic party, with Doolittle, has come
out Tor Grant and Colfax.
Eighteen members o the "White Boys
in Blue," at Muncie, Indiana, became dis
gustcd with that, rrganization and joined
the "Fighting Boys in Blue." last week.
Mr. Wm. A. Guliek. a well-known New
Jersey Democrat, residing a Kingston, Mid
dlesex County, and formerly a member of
the Legislature, is out for Grant an Colfax.
Mr. Calloway Nasler, heretofore an in
fluential Demo crat of Montcomery county,
Indiana, has renounced the corruptions of
that party, and declared his intentions to
support Grant and Colfax.
Judge A. W. G. Carter for many yeirs a
prominent Democratic politician in Cincin
nati, has abandoned that organizacion, and
signified his intention to take part in the
present campaign for Grant and Colfax.
Miles J. Shinn, Esq., a prominent and
life-long Democrat in vVayne county, Indi
ana, has become digusted with the nominees
of that party, and on Thursday last, made a
speech near Richmond, for Grant and Col
fax. Col. Len. A. Harris, formerly Mayor of
Cincinnati, at present Collector of the First
Ohio Revenue District, and who has run
the Johuson machine in that city for the
past two years, is out for Grant and Colfax,
and proposes to take the stump in their be
half. Gen. Wiekham, once a rebel General, in
a brilliant speech at Richmond, Virginia, on
August 25th, said that "if Grant was elected
the Democratic party would be broken
down and the country would have peace."
He was as willing to be called 'carpet-bagger'
as Democrat."
Mr. John R. Glynn, of Kalamazoo,
Michigan, one of the staunchest of Demo
crats heretofore, got on the stand at a Re
publican meeting at Schoolcraft, and made
some remarks in reference to hisexperience
in the South, and concluded by declaring
thathewoull vote for Grant and Colfax
this fall.
Hon. Heniy Tallnian made a speech in
Bath, Maine, on August 25th, in which he
renounced his connection with the Demo
cratic party, with which he had acted for
forty years, and gave his adhesion to what
he believes to be the party of progress and
of peace, and has taken the stump ior Grant
and Colfax.
Mayor Jonathan N. Gordon, for many
years a prominent lawyer of Indianapolis,
made an able speech in that city on the 21st,
in favor of Grant and Colfax. He has acted
with the Democratic party for the past few
years, but is now earnestly and enthusiasti
cally at work for the Republican candidates,
both State and national.
The Baltimore American says that Hon.
James Hughes, of Indiana, for many years
recognized as one of the Democratic leaders
in that State, has left Washington for his
native State, where he will take the stump
for Grant, and keep it until the close of the
campaign. He expresses the lelief that
Grant's majority iu the State will be greater
than Lincoln's.
At a special election held on Monday,
August 24th, to su pply a vacancy in the
office of supervisor in the town of Grafton,
KensaUcr county, N. VT., the Republican
candidate was elected by a majority of fif'ry-.-ix.
The town was largely Democratic last
fall. This is the home county of Hon. John
A. Griswald, the Republican candidate for
Governor, and the result is significant as an
example of what the November election will
be in New York.
Nelson Culling, Eso., formerly an active
member of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Baltimore county, M aryland. has
come out Grant. He says he does not agrje
with all the principle aims of the Republi
can party, but that in the present po?-ition of
the Democratic party and the attitude of their
candidates, he sees far more to condemn,
and as one who supported the Union in the
dark days of rebellion, he will now he artily
give all his influence iu aid of the conqueror
of that rebellion."
The Wheeling (West Virginia) Inteligrn
cer says: "John Hall, Esq., of Mason
County, President of the Constitutional
Convention of West Virginia in IS61, 1 as,
we have good authority for saying, experi
enced a thorough conversion since he attend
ed the the New York Convention in the
capacity as a delegate. We do not hear that
Mr. Hall openly declared for Grant and Col
fax. That would be rather too much to ex
pect so soon after his return from the Dem
ocratic Convention, but he gives the Re
publ :can State and Congressional ticket his
hearty support, and the benefit of his ex
tensive influence."
Ox the Other Side. General Long
street entertains a very clear notion about
the working of things down South. lie is
for Grant, Cotton and the Negro. He be
iieves that Grant's election will give pvace
to the South, that the cotton crop of this
year wili be worth two hundred miliions,and
that the negro is and will be as good a citi
zen as the white. No wonder the General
is tabooed by many of his old associates. It
seems he originally preferred Chase for
President.

There is litie - sameness" about it, but it
contains pretty much all the arguments found in
Mr. Blair's letter.
The National Banks.
The National bauks pay a total tax of
from four to seven per cent, upon their cap
tal. This tas yielded last year an aggregate
of nearly twenty millions of dollars.
The National banks are at this moment
lending to the Federal government perma
nently four hundred and ninety millions of
dollars at three fourths of one per cnt, in
terest yearly.
The National banks are paying five and a
half millions inio the Federal treasury as a
Lonns for the privilege of circulating their
own notes.
The Democracy propose to abolish this
state of things.- Py. naking war upon the
banks, by increasing their taxes they would
tax them out of existence. The very high
est financial authority predicts that they
would wind up and cither i-eorganiza unuer
State laws, do business as private bankers,
or put their money intoothei employments.
Discounts would be suspended, accomoda
tions would ceae, and couimerc:al and pop
ular distress would follow. And all this is
what the Democracy intend to accomplish
by their plausible propositions to substitute
non-iuterest-beariug notes for the $350,000, -000
o? interest-bearing J)ouds at present held
in the Treasury as security for the National
Bank circulation. In fact, the countiy
would oot save a dollar, but would lose all
of the present taxation, except what it
might aftei wards reach in the private in
comes of the bankers, and it would no long
er have the use of ihe S0.000,000 for less
than one per cent annual interest.
When a Democratic orator tells you that
the people are paying to the banks a bonus
of sixteen millions of dollars which might
be saved, tell him that thisfaci is otherwise;
that the banks are themselves paying to the
people five and a half millions, as a bonus
out of pocket, for the privilege of circula
tion and that he would do well to post him
self up before undertaking the responsibility
of political or financial insurrection.
The tr.itb is that this Democratic scheme
to save the eighteen millions of interest on
the bonds deposited by the banks, must re
sult, as above shown and can be proved, in
a loss instead of a gain to the Treasury, is
only one plank in their infamous design to
repudiate the bonded debt of the nation.
They hate it, because it is a debt incurred
in the defence of the I'nion, and to maintain
the integrity of lhe Federal power. How
truly a high fit.ancial officer under President
Johnson has described this Democratic
scheme, a-id what an eljjumt tribute he
pays to the siiuple and sturdy honesty of the
American people I Read:
''The effort seems to have been to find
out how the Government can avoid meeting
its obligations according to their tenor. It
is not suggested that the United States is
not able to pay its debts to the last dollar.
Yet there is a strong propensity manifested
litnii time to time through the press and
otherwise, to evade the payment of the full
volume of our indebtedness as a nation, by
some quibble of sophistry to justify action
that would not be tolerated as between hon
orable men. The American people have
not been accustomed to the burdens of a
public debt, and are naturally restless under
heavy taxation. '1 hey are not practiced in
the study of financial problems, anil- may.
for a time be mis el by the subtleties in
volved in this easy method of paying their
debts. I?ut they have simple and sturdy
notions of honor and honesty and good faith,
and will not kuowingly aid and abet any
schenm that would tarnish the national
credit. They realize perhaps more fully than
professed financiers, the ital importance of
acting up to the highest standard of national
good laith."
A Model Democratic Speech.
John Roy,Esq.,was one of thespeakersat
a recent pole-raising in Janesville, Ohio.
It is a model speech, and worthy of adoption
by the speakers of the Sei mour party gen
ally. Here it is :
"I came down from my pleasent home in
the country, where 1 have spent the best
part of my life iu feeding pigs, hoeing corn
and drinking whisky. 1 have found that a

getting dry. I could tell you all about lhe
shipwrecks fmni Noah's expedition to 'he
present, but I know you are dry, and I will
not consume your time. 1 will say that the
old ship is not going steady, something is
wrong, the rudder is shipped, breakers are
ahead, and we will run aground unless we
elect Seymour or Jeff. Davis, or some other
good man. Vociferous cheering. Tl e
White House is in mourning for the good
old Democrats of yore. I am an Irishu an,
and being an Irishman, I hate a nigcer,
boots and : 11. if we can have the good old
Democratic times we had from 1S50 to 160.
My fellow-Democrats, the pole is up, and I
helped to rai-e herand now all I ask of you is
to raise me if you see me in the need of rais
ing. Now let us al' drink."
Is Money Plenty? An exchange says:
Money seems to be encouraginirly plenty in
the, United States or people are singularly
careless about their investments. Lsrge
numbers of the seven-thirties on which in
terest has ceased to run have never been
presented. The same is the oase with cer
tain issues of the bonds of Pennsylvania to
a very respectable amount. And nnw the
United States Government by last informa
tion is engaged in hunting up its creditors
to whom registered interest is due.
Two years ago the Northern Democrats
were most indignant when reminded of their
sympathy for the rebels. Now they take
them to their hearts, adopt their ideas, and
allow them to build their platform.
"Can't Carry Kentuckt.
ond Adventists are now holding a meeting
in Janesville, Wisconsin, and have conclud
,1 ,Kof th ni of all thinirs earthly will
take place on the first of next October. The
other day the preacher was very much an
noyed by a Kepubliean and Democrat on the
outskirts of the mee ing, discussing as to
who would be the next President. The
preacher approached them and said, "My
dear friends, you are exciting yourselves
unnecessarily and wasting precious tune m
speculating as to the future President of the
United States, for before any earthly elec
tion takes place our blessed lord will be
President everywhere." "I'll bet you
twenty five dollars," said the Democrat, "he
can't carry Kentucky.'
Hospital for Insan e. The State Hos
pital for the Insane, to be built at Dtmville,
will he a magnificent structure. It will be
1,142 feet, or aim vt a quarter of a mile iu
length. Every room will be com; lete'y
ventilated, and a view of the outsiJe world
will be affoided from every department.
With the thorough knowledge gained by
experience and study on the part of those
who have charge of the bu.-ine.-s. the hospi
tal will doubtless be one of the most compe
tent structures of the kind that has yet been
built in the State. Dr. Shuhz, of Harris
burg, is the superintendent.
A Mortifying Spectacle. While
Hancock is folding his banner North, and
that uerhans after all he was fighting on the
wrong side, Lieutenant General Ixmgstreet,
the Confederate hero of Chickamauga, is
giving his ready and cheerful assent to the
measures of reconstruction, and calling on
the troops he often led to victory to follow
him now to peace, success, an 1 prosperitj-,
under the leadership of Grant. The contrast
is mortifying to Pennsylvania.
