'Like Begets Like."
That the Southern Rebels and Northern
Copperheads are working in unison, and
contemplate the murder of another President
is becoming more apparent every day. The j
Mobile Tribune of a late date says :
"The signs of the times are pregnant with
resistance to Radical tyranny and the dagger
of Hrittu mar aid in accomplishing our re
pation." In addressing the Seymour club in Clear
field, last week, one of the speakers raid ;
"If Gen. Grant is elected President he
will be swept from office as was the lament
ed Liucoln. That is all fixed."
Oh, yes! "That is all fixed!" Grant
must be murdered if he is elected! Wheth
er this valiant Clearfielder is to be the assas
sin Booth No. 2 has not, as yet, been as
certained. But, no matter who is to com
mit the horrible and bloody deed, it has
been decreed by a Southern Rebel and a
Northern Copperhead that Grant must "be
"6wept from office as was the lamented
"Lincoln." Honest, law-abiding, peace
loving Democrats,will you permit voursclves
to be again gulled by these men who boldly
proclaim that rebellion and murder is their
object? We think not! We have more
faith in your intelligence and patriotism,
than to suppose you will connive at, or
encourage them in their hellish designs!
Then, we entreat you before it is too late,
spurn these desperate and vile men Trom
you, and cast your votes at the coming elec
tions for Hartranft and Campbell, Grant
and Colfax, the friends of the Union, as the
' only hope of preserving the country aud
maintaining the peace.
Is Grant a Drunkard ?
A portion of the Democratic press, the
Philadelphia Age among the number, never
fails to insinuate that General Grunt is an
intemperate man when it believes it can do
him personal and political injury by the in
sinuation. To show how false these accusa
tions really are, we quote from Democratic
authority. George W. Woodward, Demo
cratic Congressman from the Xllth district,
re-nominated for re-election, in a speech in
Gre.it Beud, Susquehanna county, a fort
night ago, said :
"It is said that General Grant is intem
perate. I know the charge to be false. My
intimate social and military association with
him through nearly all of his campaigns,
leads me as an honest man, to declare that
the worthy chieftain is not only iunocent of
this unjust charge, but that he is in every
respect temperate, and ia all the walks of
life a gentleman."
We hope this will satisfy the vituperative
portion of the Democratic press. Bishop
Simpson some time since made a similar
defence of Grant, so that we now have
prominent men in both parties who declare
on proof of their own observation, that he
la no drunkard.
Democratic Lore for Soldier.
The following statement of Mr. G. A.
Curtis, which was handed us for publication,
speaks for itself :
On Saturday last (Sept 14th) I went to
Osceola to find work. I went to Mr John
Lawshe, and asked him for work. He ask
ed my politics. I told him I was a Repub
lican, had fought under Grant, lost a leg in
the Wilderness, but was stout and able to
work at any kind of hard work. He said
be did not want me, nor any other man who
did not tote as he did, and went against his
interest. I m now working tor Mr. Jacob
Mock, ii Philipsburg, and will swear to the
above facts if any person doubts my word.

The Debt Oce-ronrth Paid.
The New York Tribune, of Thursday last
has the following in regard to the public
debt, which is a perfect refutation of the
statements of the leaders of the Seymour
repudiationists :
.'It lias been usual to state the reduction
ot our public debt at $250,000,000, that be
ing the amount by which the ascertained
debt liquidate ! at the Treasury by the i-sue
of botids or other securities has been reduc
ed. We have been cartful to couple tbU
statement with the fact that, beside this re
duction of the ascertained debt, we have
paid about $500,000,tKW in back pay, boun
ties, overdue contracts, transportation, and
other expenses of closing up the war. These
were really incurred and due in Aug., 1S65,
and should be added to the amount of
the ascertained debt of that date, in order
to arrive at the maximum amount of the
debt and the total sum by which it has been
reduced. Mr. Edward Atkinson, in a speech
delivered yesterday, at Worcester, before
the Republican Convention of Massachu
setts, presents the actual facts in their true
light, showing that the actual indebtedness,
liquidated and unliquidated, was on August?
1, 1S65, $3,287,"o3,320; that it was on
June 30, 1S0S, $2,485,000,000 being an
actual reduction of $802,733,329 in the
principal of the debt.
By the same rapidi ty of payment wecould
pay off the entire debt within ten years.
The figures are as follows : The total amount
of revenue received by the Government for
the three years frtm April -1, 1SG5, to June
30, 1868, has been $I,54U,053.5$3. Oat of
this there were paid for back pay of the
Army aud Navy and war contracts, within
fifteen months after the close of the rebel
lion, $774,865,851. And there were paid
for bounties, pensions, prize money, reim
bursing States for war expenditures, claims
of loyal men, Freedmen's Hureau, expenses
of Reconstruction, and National Cemeteries,
$145,912,401. These two sums amount to
a total sum to be added to the National
Debt, as it stood on the books of the Treas
ury April 1, 1805, of $920,773,252. The
ascertained debt was $2,306,955,077, mak
ing the aggregate of $3,287,733,329, as
above stated. We have, therefore, actually
reduced our debt by $802,733,329.
We can now arrive at the ordinary expens
es of the Government, exclusive of war ex
penditure. Income 3 years $1,540,058,533,
War Debt 802,733,329
War Int. paid 438,484,SS3 1,241,218,212,
Ordinary eqpenses $293,840,371
or a little less than $92,000,000 a year in
currency, or $65,000,000 in gold, while the
expenses of James Buchanan's last year
w..;re $76,841,000 in gold.or about $11,000,-
000 in gold more than those of the Govern
ment during the past three years. Hand
these facts and figures to your Democratic
brother who thinks the National Debt can
not be paid and must be repudiated.
The Coffee-Pot at Work.
On reading the charge made by the editor
f K V-'J ' ' " : l:.. ,
sue, that the Republicans of Vermont
"were compelled to import 10,000 voters
"from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
"New Yerk" to carry that State, we felt
satisfied that the leaders and managers of
the so-called Democratic party were engag
ed in some rascally scheme to defeat the
will of the people in Pennsylvania; yet we
had no idea that our convictions would be
verified so soon. But we have been some
what disappointed in regard to the latter
point in our surmises, for we were informed
several days ago, upon the best of authority
that already a number of fraudulent natur
alization papers have be.-n distributed in a
certain locality in this county, by the Dem
ocracy, to be used at the Oetober election
proving the old adage true, that "a thief
always cries thief!" the loudest to deceive
the public in regard to his own guilt. That
the managers of the so-called Democratic
party contemplated all along rej eating their
villainous game of 1867, of stuffing the
ballot-boxes with illegal votes, only on a
more extensive scale, was manifest from
their opposition to, and their success in hav
ing the Supreme Court to set aside the
Registry Law passed by the last Legislature
of this btate and hence we find them al
ready engaged in distributing forged natur
alization papers and packing the severa'
election districts in this Couuty with import
ed illegal voters.
A more despicable scheme than this, to
bolster up a rotten cause and to make some
show ot party strength, was never conceiv
ed by any set ot men, and is alone worthv
the sympathizers with the rebels and trai
tors of the Souh in their efforts to destroy
the Union, and shows that the managers
of the Democratic party have no confidence
in their legitimate stiength, and having lost
all hope ot electing their candidates, they
now intend to uifke an effort to reduce the
Republican majority in Pennsylvania by
fraud and rasca hry.
Our friends everywhere must be on the
a!ert for these "eoffee-colored" fraudulent
naturalization papers, and imported illegal
voters. By being vigilant in this respect.
jn rau iu a great, measure prevent tneir
intended frauds upon the ballot-box, and
preserve the laws of your country intact.
Where They Stand.
In Nebraska all the young men of spirit
and enterprise are found iu the ranks ot
the Union Rapti Hew party. The Demo
cratic journals of that State seek to account
tor the fact by saying that the Republican
party is one of fuss and feathers, parade
ana snow. e suppose the youug men,
who have had the spirit tosettle down in new
homes out west, are animated by the same
tcelings which fill the hearts of those in our
own commonwealth, and necessarily find
themselves arrayed on the side of right
against wrong. Nine-tenths of the intelli
gent young men of America who will cast
their virgin votes at the forthcoming Presi
dential campaign, are found standing under
the banner and leadership of the Great Cap
tain.and Democratic papers need not strive
to drive then, away from the ranks of the
I nion. by any such derisive appellations as
'vo,in infants,, and "tiundkbedders.
Read the new advertisements.
"THE DEIFT OF THE TIDE,"
There seems to be no abatement in "the
drift of the tide." Unrelaxingly it sweeps
on with resistless force in the direction of
Grant and Colfax, much to the consterna
tion of Wallace, Seymour & Co. And as
we intend "to fight it out on this line," we
continue our list of examples:
Fifty-two voters atDes Moines, Iowa, who
have heretofore been Democrats, have re
pudiated Seymour and Blair, and declared
their intention to vote lor Grant and Colfax.
John R. Marke, Esq., of Nelsonville,
Athens countv, Ohio, a soldier of the war
of 1812, will vote the Republican ticket foH
the first time at the coming October elec
tion. Mr. S. Taylor Suit, to whom the Demo
cratic nomination tor Congress in the Filth
Maryland district was tendered, has declin
ed to be a candidate, and will support Grant
and Colfax.
One hundred Jews, in Chicago, who were
Democrats up to the nomination of Seymour
and Blair by the New York Convention, have
come out for Grant and Coll'ax.tand joined
the "Tanners" clubs in Chicago.
Robert, son of the late Stephen A. Doug
las, delivered his maiden political speech at
Raliegh, N. C, a few days since, in behalf
of Grant and Colfax. The Douglass Dem
ocrats can't and won't swallow the Copper
head ticket.
Here is another loyal volunteer against
the new Democratic rebellion. Hon. Tims
J. Turner, of Freeport, 111., who was the
last Democratic candidate for Congress
aeainst E. B. Washburne, has publicly
avowed his intention to work and vote for
Grant and Colfax.
Hon. Wm. II. Wadsworth, formerly a
member of Congress from the Maysville
(Kentucky) district, and a supporter ot Mc
Clellan, has taken the stump for Grant and
Colfax. Mr. Wadsworth is a very impor
tant and influential accession, and will do a
yeoman's service in the ranks of Republi
canism in Kentucky.
The Pittsburg Commercial says: It is
reported on indisputable authority that the
Presidents of two important Railroads con
necting at Pitisburgh, who have heretofore
acted with the Democratic party, have re
cently expressed their intention to support
Grant, whose election they deem necessary
to the peace of the country. The ground
swell goes on.
Hon. John M. Harlan, of Louisville, late
ly Attorney General of Kentucky,a McClel
lan Democrat in 1864,a Colonel in the Union
army, and one of the most effective public
speakers in Kentucky, has taken ground in
favor of Grant and Colfax. His accession
to the Republican party in Kentucky is not
less important than that of Hon. Wm. H.
Wadsworth. The "tide" seems to have set
in in good earnest even in the Rebel State
of Kentucky.
Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, who was
on of thf. seven Senators who voted to ac
quit President Johnson, and whose position
in politics has been very doubtful, and who
has not been min ed as of the Republican
party ever since the impeachment trial, has
finally taken the stump for Grant and Col
fax, aud boldly declaring, after viewing the
situation in Tennessee, that the election of
Grant and Colfax is essential in order to pre
serve peace and unity throughout the land.
Thomas B. Clark, of Red Bank, 3Ion-
tnouth county, New Jersey, a veteran Jack-
sou Democrat, has written a le.ter under
date of August 1st, 1SC8, in which he says.
Gen. Grant is a Jackson Democrat, and
so am I. lie can stamp Ins loot on W ade
Hampton, as Jackson did on Calhoun. A
still tongue makes a wise head. The hand
that writes this voted lor Gen. Jackson at
his last term. Now the hero's ashes in the
grave would be ashamed of the party that
call themselves Democrats. .No trifling with
men's souls that have laid down their lives
for us."
That noble soldier, Major General George
II. Thomas, in his letter to the Republican
mass meeting in Indianapolis writes
"Your very cordial invitation command
my sincere thanks ; and though I take no
part in politics, permit me to express the
great pleasure 1 have derived trom observ
ing the nrin and almost universal support
offered by the soldiers and sailors through
out the country to all measures calculated to
restore it to a condition of peace and ouiet.
thereby showing that those most willing to
support the Government in times of peril
can be relied upon to inaugurate aud main
tain measures best calculated to maintain
th peace and prosperity of the nation."
Col. W. II. n. Taylor, of Brooklyn. Hen
nepin county, Minn., an old and Ufa-long
Democrat, has come out for Grant and Col
lax. At a Republican meeting in that town
a few evenings since, in an earnest and elo
quent speech, he urged upon all the neces
sity of supporting the Republican party du
ring the present campaign. He says Seymour
and Blair are too much for him. He can
not support such men. The Colonel served
with distinction during the late war as Col-
! c . I. C : i i. t w r i tt .
unci vi iuc riiiu ruio cavalry, tie nas
been a resident of Hennepin county since
last fall. He is a gentleman of culture and
ability and will be quite an addition to the
party.
Hon. A. P. Dudley, of Calvaros, Califor
nia, on the 12th of August made a speech
at a Republican meeting in Sacramento iu
which he said :
"I have been a voter for twenty-eight
years. By my bald head you see I have
grown gray in the service ot my country,and
1 have never but once failed to vote with th
Democratic party. I once had the honor of
being a Presidential elector in my district on
the Breckinridge ticket. Since the war has
been over 1 have tried to get on quietly with
the Democratic partj. and I stum ped the
State for Haigbt last year. I talked War
Democracy, but now the issues are fairly
made between Grant and Coltax on the one
part, and Seymour and B'air and their plat
form on the other. The living issue to-day
is this : Was the war to put down the rebel
lion right or wrong? In the old State of New
Hampshire; that was when this old hat was
new (pointing to his bald pate) she had
always 25,000 majoriry for the Democrats
since then she has gone Republican by an
overwhelming majority so I am not the on
ly renegade Democrat of my native State."
A large and enthusiastic Republican meet
ing vas held in front of the residence of
Charles McLain, Esq., in Middletown, Pa.,
on Saturday, Sept. 5th. Mr. McLain has
always been a Democrat and will vote the
straight Republican ticket for the first time
this falL The Telegraph says : The Grant
and Colfax Ciub proceeded to Mr. McLain's
residence, headed by the Middletown drum
corps, and as they marched past the Demo
crat headquarters, nearly onehundred voters,
formerly Democrats, fell into line, having
just left the Democratic pow wow in disgust,
and came over in a body to the support or
Grant aud Colfax. Our formerly Democrat
ic friends who thus came to the support and
swelled the Republican procession, said
"that the Democracy had gone so far as to
cry i othing but 'nigger ! nigger! nigeer!
and 'repudiation ! repudiation ! repudia
tion!' with now and then a cut at the sol
diers,wLich they could stand no longer, and
therefore left the Denocratic club-room in
a body." to cast in their lot with the true
friends of the nation. At this rate, allace
will have to issue a wiit of qvo warranto
(by order of the Democratic State Commit
tee,) "to inquire by what warrant" his here
tofore "faithful' followers have become so
"aroused" as to desert the sinking ship of
Seymour, B!air,Forest & Co., rn the eve of
the October election, lest they be unable to
call the previous question in November, for
want of followers.

DEMOCRATIC . PATRIOTISM DEFINED.
Judge Black, in his recent speech at l'ork
gives us a good idea of a modern Peuio
cratic patriot. He says :
"Rather than see General Grant elected
President, with the undersandingthat he is
to administer the (overniiient on the Lon
gressional plau of disregarding all constitu
onal obligations, it would be far better to
let him or somebody else be proclaimed ab

A Lame Excuse. -Secretary McCulloch
is reported as having declared that he has
been "compelled to unite with the party
that has eau -el so much trouble to the na

of official patronage he can control to elect
Seymour and Blair." What power "coi
pels" him to do this, it is not necessary to
inquire. That which chiefly attaches to the
confession is the contempt which most meu
will fed for tbe man making it.
