Queer, Ain't Tt?. As our Presidential
candidate m a soldier, and one of the most
successful soldier? of the age, it suits the
convenience ot the Blair men (Blair, how
ever, being also a sort of soldier) to keep
bawling at the top of their voices that if
Grant should be elected we must prepare
for a "military despotism." This objection
comes from a party professing to be the
identical party which nominated Gen. Jack
son for the Presidency, and, by the sheer
force of his mili'ary popularity, elected him
It comes from a party considerable num
bers of which, in ita National Convention,
voted for a soldier. It comes from a party
which, while holding it3 national meeting
in New York, made special, and particular,
and earnest appeals to the soldiers assem
bled there to join its ranks. It comes from
a party which took to its bosom the Rebel
soldier, Wade Hampton, and the butcher
soldier. Gen. Forrest. It comes from a
party which is doin? everything, honest or
dishonest, to win the soldiers' vote for Sey
mour. By what right does it suppose that
the first of all our soldiers in war will prove
the very worst in peace?
Reaction is Connecticut. The town
elections in Connecticut on Monday a week,
(Oct. Cth,) show a decided reaction if the
Republicans since last spring. It is useless
for the Democrats to say there is nothinc in
these local elections, or that they only reflect
the sentiments of the people upon local
questions without regard to national topics.
In a crisis like the present, on the, as we
are, of a momentous Presidential e'ection,
these little signs indicate the bent of the
popular sentiment upon the great issues of
the hour. The great Republican gain of
1,400 in the city of New Haven is especially
significant. Altogether, we are bound to
take this result in Connecticut as the ap
proach of the immense tidal wave which
will sweep over tlu whole counirv in favor
of Grant in November next. The official
vote so tar as received indicates that the
Republicans have carried the State by near
ly 4,000 majority.
' One Currency for the rich and the
poor." So say the Democrats, and so say
the Republicans. There is a difference,
however. The Democrats sny, "let the
Goverment bonds be paid in greenbacks;"
which will make a paper currency for the
next two generations. The Republicans
Bay " let the Government bonds be paid ac
cotdingjto the contract made when our na
tion was trembling on the verge of ruin,"
and when every Democrat sneered at the
idea cf tendering his support to sustain the
nation even for a single moment. Pay what
was promised to be paid in gold, ami soon
the hard currency will jingle in our pockets
as in days of yore. "Let rags be the per
manent currency," y the Democrats.
"Let gold be the circulating medium, and
that as soon as possible," say the Republi
cans. Reader, which will ye chooie ?
The Public Debt. Despite the gloomy
prognostications with which the public have
been favored for the past few days by the
Democratic papers, the statement of the
public debt on the first of Oct iber, shows a
decrease of four millions nine hundred thou
sand dollars. The apparent decrease is ?970,-

that this sum should be deducted from the
total. It is expected that the next month

Democrats ! Remember that Democracy
to-day don't mean what it did when Andrew
Jackson was a Democrat, but what John C.
Calhoun wanted to make it, and what his
followers have made it a cloak to cover up
their wicked desings on liberty, law and or
der ; a shield for traitors, thieves, robbers,
and liars; a party of deception and fraud, op
posed to liberty, equality and justiee; the
advocates of slavery, rebellion and plunder ;
the apolijista for treason and traitors; haters
of the Union, the Constitution, and every
man who volunteered to defend them.
Avdersonville. Out of 44,832 Union
soldiers eonfined in the Andersonville prison
12,303 died from sickness and starvation in
one year. This was more than one thousand
per month: over 2M per week ; over 35 pr
day. Think of k. This is a greater num
ber than was lost by the Uritish government
in its Crimea campaign. And yet we are
asked to sustain the inhuman wrptehes who
did ibLs work, by voting for jSeytKHir and
Blair.

The Eesult The Issue.
Before this paper reaches most of our
reader, the result of yesterday's election in
this State will be announced throughout the
lenwth and breadth of the land. What that
result is, is mere conjecture at the present
wiiting, but we have little doubt it will be
favorable to the Republican nominees. If
it is adverse to our candidates, that verdict
was obtained by frauds upon the ballot-box
through forged naturalizations and the im
portation of voters from other States.
But, let the result by what it may in this
election, Pennsylvania will cast her electoral
vote for Grant and Colfax in November.
The issue presented by the two parties, in
their platforms, will warrant no other decis
ion at the hands of the law-abiding and
peace-loving people of this great Common
wealth. And what is that issue? The De
mocratic platform declares :
"We regard the reconstruction acts (so
" called) of Congress, as such, as usurpn
"patiuns, and unconstitutional, revolution
" ary, and void,"
And, Frank P. Blair, their candidate for
Vice President, says :
"There is but one way : . . for the Presi
dent elect to declare these acts null and
" void, coin)cl the army to undo its usurpa
tions iu the South, disperse the carpet
" bag governments, and allow the white
"people tore-organize their own govern
" ments. . . We must have a President who
" who will execute the will of the people
" (rebels) by trampling into the dust the u
" surpations of Congress known as the re
" construction acts. ' '
Here we have the issue plainly and posi
tively defined. It is, " Pence, or War "
Grant and Peace! Seymour and war!
Which do the people prefer? If they elect
Grant and Colfax we will have a continued
and lasting peace ; but if they permit the
election of Seymour and Blair, then the
' reconstruction acts" will be trampled in
the dust, and the carpet-Lag governments
dispersed at the point of the bayonet, by com
pelling the army to undo it usurpation in
the South.
Are the people ready for another war?
for another rebellion, by placing the reins
of government in the hands of the rebel
leaders by electing Seymour and Blair ? We
thing not ! Yea; we know they will not!
The effects and horrors of the recent rebel
lion are yet too fresh in their minds that
they should commit so insane and unwar
rantable an act. Then, no matter how the
result may have terminated yesterday (Tues
day), the people will elect Grant and Colfax
in November nextl Their own interests,
and the peace and welfare of the whole
country make this their imperative duty,
and that duty will be faithfully and fearless
ly performed when the proper time arrives
on the -'d of next November.

Gen. U. S. Grant, Washington, D. C. :
Dear General: I hope you will not think
it out of place for me to tender you my most
hearty congratulations upon the action of
the Chicago Convention. The perfect
unanimity and great, enthusiasm of your
nomination were certainly highly gratify
ing as being a formal ratification of the pop
ular indorsement of your public record,
which have heretofore been made through
out the country. But your unanimous
nomination was long predetermined, and
was but the fulfilment of universal expecta
tion. On the other hand, whtn the Con
vention met, there was ground lor appre
hension that its action in other respects
might not b so wise. But that apprehen
sion has, at lea-it in a great degree, been dis
pelled. The judicious selection of Mr. Col
lax as second on the ticket, and the general
practical wisdom displayed in framing the
platform that is, in laying down practical
rules of aition, based upon the necessities
of the country, instead of abstract political
theories have greatly increased the proba
bilities of success, and at the same time
made that success the more to be desired.
I have always believed that the Union
could be fully restored only by the men who
put down the Rebellion, while I have not
been wtfhout serious apprehensions that, by
forcing upon the country extreme Radical
theories, the stability of the Government
might be endangered. Great reforms re
quire time for their full developement
tune in which theories may be anal) zed, and
that which is sound and of practical utility
separated from the unsound and chimerical.
isdom and moderation in Congress will
now give the country restoration and peace.
Your elect iou to the Presidency will be the
end of our political troubles, as your acces
sion to the Command-in-Chief of the Army
was the end of the Southern Rebellion.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

thing; but he will do everything necessary
to accomplish the high resolve to have peace
and security in every part of the South.
We shall therefore have good results imme
diately following the election, months before
Grant succeeds to his high office. No sane
man need be told what must be exDecteJ

The Tammany convention gave new life
to every bad element in the South, and li

THE DEIFT OF THE TIDE."
The "drifting tiae" increases as the Pres
idential election draws nigh ; and when the
ides of November, once appear it will have
assumed such proportions as to utterly
"overwhelm" Seymour and the whole cop
per rebel crew who are now trying to run
the old rotten bulk of the Democratic par
ty safely into the Union harbor. We con
tinue our epitome of examples for the edi
fication of our readers :

diates both, and supports Grant and Colfax,
as the hope of the country's peace.
The iVesa says : "We learn that the gal
lant General Thomas Egan, known as one of
President Johnson's most intimate friends,

Chief Justice Pearson, of North Caroli
na, a well-known "Conservative," says he
prefers to support Grant and Colfax this

candidate for Governor of Michigan in 1860,
now the U. 8. Minister to San Salvador,
has declared himself in favor ot Grant and
Colfax.
The La Crosse Republican says that Dr.
Sperry, of De Soto, Wisconsin, chairman
of a Democratic club, has renounced the
Seymour party, and goes heartily for Grant
and Colfax.
The Chester County Journal, published
at Downingtown, Pa., heretofore a neutral
paper, has hoisted the Grant and Colfax
flag and is doing good service in the cause
of the Union.
Bert. E. Clarke, Esq., Secretary of the
Seymour and Blair club of Trempelean,
Wisconsin, has abandoned that party and
its candidates, and is now working earnest
ly for Grant and Colfax.

nently mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for Congress in the
Fifth (Wisconsin) district has taken the
stump for Grant and Colfax.

strong in support of that party until after
the N. Y. National Copperhead Convention,
is now openly proclaiming for Grant and
Colfax.

one of the able representatives of the Dem
ocracy ot Philadelphia in the State Senate,

per in that city, has declared for Grant and

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and wh
v as the Democratic Representative in Con
gress from Berks County from 1S47 to 1S51
since his resignation has come out for Grant
and Colfax.
Hon. James L. Seward, formerly Repre
seiitative in Congress from Georgia, who was
up to last week a warm supporter of Sey
mour and Blair, has announced his determi
nation to give his vote and influence for
Grant and Colfax.
Hon. Nat. Boyden, the only Democratic
member of Congress from North Carolina
who voted with his party last session on ev
ery question, has announced that hereafter
he will co-operate with the Republicans i
supporting Grant and Colfax.
The Hon. Robert II. Pruyn, of Albany
who ran for Lieutenant Governor on the
Democratic ticket with Hoffman two years
ago, has declared for Grant and Colfax, and
was one of the vice presidents of the great
mass meeting of twenty thousand at the
Capitol, at Albany, on the 17th of Septem
ber, 1S68.
Last week the Republicans had a large
meeting at Washington, Pa. One of the
speakers was William Smith, who has al
ways been a Democrat, but now supports
Orant and Colfax. Mr. Smith is one of
the most extensive mercantile dealers in
Western Pennsylvania, and a man of con
siderable influence.
Col. William Brown, of Kentucky, who
was a delegate to the New York convention
which nominated Seymour and Blair, hav
ing had fighting enough, announces in a
speech at Nicholsville in that State, made
since the State election, that he will suppoit
Grant and Colf-ix, in November. He says
Seymour and Blair's programme means
blood-shed and anarchy.
Mr. M. Knight,hitherto a steadfast Dem
ocrat and a leading man in the town of
Pleasant Valley, Eau Claire county, Wiscon
sin, writes to the Free Iess that he shall
vote for Grant and Colfax this year, and
adds: "Democracy, heretofore predominant
jo 1 Ieasant Valley, is sadly in the minority.
for full nine tenths of the voters will
serif to the Hcasant Valley Grant and
Loljax Lmon Club."
The New York Herald gives it as its
opinion that not more than half of the Irish
born citizens of New York will vote the
Democratic ticket this falL Within two
wetks two thousand Irishmen have joined
the Grant and Colfax clubs, and more are
coming daily. These voters have hereto
fore constituted the solidest foundation of
the Democratic party but they bein to see
light at last.
The Nassau (Iowa) 2W says that many
hitherto Democrats of that region are de-
.erting the Wade Hampton standard, and
enrolling under the banner of loyalty. A
inoug these are Daniel Pond, Esq., of
Fredrick sburg, who has been one of the
chief pillars of Chickasaw county Democ
racy. He gives good reasons for leaving
the rotten and corrupt organization ; and :s
now one of the officers of the Grant and
Colfax club. So they come.
Gen. Barriuger, of North Carolina de
fines his position on the Presidential ques
tion, thus:
"lean under no circumstances, vote the
present Democratic programme. I have no
special fondness for Republicans. But
they have never deceived us, and I can at
least respect and trust them. This I can
not do with the northern Democracy. They
encouraged our secession leaders into war
and then deserted us many of them lead
ing the Union armies against us. The Re
publicans warned us against secession, aud
did only what they said they would."
The Philadelphia Press says. A distin
guished Philadelphia merchant, who last
year voted the Democratic ticket, and who
has sold a large amount of goods to South
ern merchants since the surrender of Lee,
informed us a few daj s ago that he had re
ceived letters from some of these grateful
debtors, ioolly tellins him that th.y will
pay him if Seymour is elected, and will re
pudiate if Grant is victorious in November.
"Now," said eur friend, "I will not only
vote for Grant, but I can count twenty-four
Democrats who never voted the Republican
ticket, who will do the same thing." Re
pudiation, like rebellion, is a part of the
mo lei n Democratic religion.
Gen. Scofield, Secretary of War under
our present Democratic Administration, ha"
identified himself with those who, as he
tersely puts it, believes that "the Union cau
" only be fully restored by the men who
"put down the rebellion." Having him
self been a soldier, he does not include Sey
mour in the category. "Your election to
the Presidency," he says to Gen. Grant,
" will be the end of our political troubles.
" as your accession to the command in-chief
" of the armv was the end of the Southern
"Rebellion." Secretary Scofield has hereto
fore had the reputation of extreme conserv
atism, and during the war he inclined so
much to the Frank Blair party, while in
Missouri, as to arouse the intense wrath of
the Radicals, and provoke persistent efforts
tor his removal.

and a recoil from such a state of things will
carry the State to the extremest length of
Radicalism. This has always been history,
and will be again. Iress.
Ignorino the Past. The psetido De

and clamor for a change of rulers. We al

half of the laird by civil war, and loaded the
whole country with a debt hard to be borne.
More Murders ! The New Rebellion is
in full blast in Louisiana. One hundred
Union men, white and black were killed or
wounded in Opelousas. The Progress news
paper was destroyed and the editor lynched.
At Shreveport fifteen Union men and four
rebels were killed. Similar reports are ex
pected from other quarters, as the necessa
ry result of the revolutionary spirit of the
Tammany Platform. These facts afford a
text which is as good as a sermon. We have
to ask simply what do ycu think of it, and
and if the nomination of Seymour and Blair
is attended by such murderous consequen
ces, what would be the result from their
election ?
Senator Grimes. Noticing the lauda
tion which the Democratic press have be
s owed on Senator Grimes, the Iowa Sta'e
Journal says : "Mr. Grimes has never giv
en cause for these blarneyingsof new found
affection, save in the casting of a vote for
the non-impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
We have the most reliable assurances that
Mr. Grimes has a great aversion to this
false praise ; that he is an ardent supporter
o. the principles and candidates of the Re
publican party; and that he will shortly an
nounce his opinions by a letter through the
public press, and in which no rabid Copper
head or cowardly Conservative will find the
least crumb of comfort."

STAR LIGHTNING ROD I
The Best and the Cheapest!
The Star Galvaxizkr Lighthug Ron is supe
rior to any in use, and will last tor generations
It is made from Magnetic Iron jths square
grooved, spiral-twisted and galvanised, and con
nected with pure copper couplings, rendering it
equal to a copper rod.ihe whole surmounted with
a Gold-plated cluster point of pure copper, thus
forming a continuous rod from the point to the
ground the combination of metals forming
galvanie battery in the rod.
It is warranted always to remain bright and
clesin. and will never corrode or rust, thus pre
senting a neat ornamental appearance on tbe
building, worth more than its cost as a matter of
ornament, to say nothing about its sure protection
against lightning.
To show tbe popularity or the Galvanised Star
Rod. it is only necessary to say that tbe propri
etors have pulled off more than one hundred ton
of old rusty irons, within twelve months, from
colleges, academies, public buildings, barns, eU.,
and put up tbe Star Rod in their place.
As tbe "Stab" is better and sold at a less price
than any other rod. is more d urable and more or
namental, persons should consult their own inter
ests and safety to life and property, before they
have a rod erected on their buildings.
All that is necessary to convince the public of
the superiority of the Star Lightning Rod, is a
thorough examination into its construction and
scientific combination.
The undersigued, being the Agents for Clear
field county, will put up rods Tor all who may de
sire them. On Short &Otie unit ra .u n a V. 1 rma
Call and examine them at theirstore in Clearfield.
