OUR VICTORY.
In the general rejoicing over the glorious
victory achieved on Tuesday last, the Re
publicans of Clearfield county have great
cause to congratulate themselves. They
have nobly fought and. and have reduced the
majority of their adversaries, in the face of
herculean efforts to increase it. It was in
tended that the home of the coffee-pot
Chairman should be the banner Democratic
county. It was necessary, in view of his
Senatorial aspirations, and the arrangement
of "our own Bigler" to have a Feat in the
Cabinet, that the majority in Clearfield
should be swelled to 1,500. The coffee-pot
himself, when at home on Court week, told
his "Captains of tens" that they must roll
np a majority of 1,450! To this end they
resorted to every expedient, even to voting
four "niggers" in Lawrence township. Mon
ey was furnished in abundance, inducements
were held out, threats were made, Republi
cans were omitted from the assessments,
illegal votes were polled, and every trick re
sorted to, for the accomplishment of their
purposo. But all in vain. The Republicans
stood to their guns, turned out in force, and
not only prevented an increase of the ma
jority, but actually reduced it one hundred
and twenty-one votes !
The first great battle has been fought and
won. The euemy is routed and in full re
treat. Let us not sit down supinely and
rest upon our arms, but press on in full pur
suit, until our great leader receives their
"unconditional surrender" r n the 3rd
day of November. One more united and
determined effort, and we shall have con
quered a permanent and lasting PEACE.
PHILIPSBUEGf.
Despite the asseverations of the blatant
Perks and the virtuous Kepler that Philips
burg was Democratic, the Republicans car
ried the borough by seven majority on Ia.it
Tuesday t Last year Shugart and M'Intyre,
the Copperhead candidates for Senator had
22 majority exactly Shugart's majority in
the District. But without the coffee-pot pa
pers the Republicans carried the borough.
Thus the loyal people of that borough repu
diated the coffee-pot swindle, and ratify and
confirm the action of the Legislature in ex
pelling Shugart from the seat obtained by
fraud and corruption.
All hail Republicans of Philipsburg! You
have done nobly. You have the finest Tan
ner's Club in this section of the State, and
"you have covered yourselves with glory."
Keep up your organization, push forward,
and a still more glorious victory awaits you
in November.
"Damn the Nigger."
"Whoever votes for G.W. Scofield.casts bis bal
lot aj emphatically for negro suffrage a though
it wat printed en hit ticket." Republican.
Wouldn't it l better to vote for it and
have it according to law, than to denounce
it and practice it in violation of law ? Four
"niggers' were led up to the township win
dow in this town, last week, and voted th
e I
democratic ticket ODe "nigger" was led
up and voted the same ticket in Decatur.
"Negro suffrage" is all right when they
vote the Deuioeratk ticket. Practice what
you prach, or preach what you practice.
Stop damning the nigger.or quit voting him.
Rewarded at Last.
The Democracy have actually given an of
fice to a one-armed soldier ! Having prom
ised him Sheriff, and then Register and Re
corder, they have now reaJly elected him
constable of this borough ! Hope on, hope
ever, crippled soldiers of Clearfield. The
"spoiU" will surely be divided at the day
of judgment.
, "The sturdy nomocracy of Maine hare covered
themselves with glory."-I Coffet-nof, Con
g r ATM Late ry .
t hat have the "sturdy Democracy" of

the "Chairmaa" tell us?
Wonder if our neighbor will "admit the
fact" of the return of geofield to Congress,
now that the election u over?
The Democracy and Taxes.
The Democracy, all through the present
political campaign, have been keeping up a
great fine and cry about the high taxes im
posed upon the people by the National Gov
ernment. E. A. Taylor.Assistant Assessor
of Internal Revenue in Wilmington, Dela
ware, replies in answer to a question, that
the only articles of general consumption, on
which an Internal Revenue tax is collected,
are "tobaccos, cigars, liquors and matches"
; h three former being luxuries rather than
articles of necessary consumption. This
being the fact, what becomes of the Demo
cratic cry of "high taxes?" Outside of the
articles above named, the farmer, the me
chanic, and lahorer.does not pay one cent of
Internal revenue to the National Govern
ment; and, it be is unwilling to t? this !
"tax" he can very readily do without either
of them, as they are not necessaries of life.
Tea, coffee. TJgar, molasse3, spices, rice,
salt, candles, flour, meat, and indeed every
article used by the "poor man" is free from
Government taxes a fact which cannot be
successfully controverted. We submit this
statement to the candid and intelligent read
er, and ask his careful investigation of the
whole subject
One More Grand Sally.
At a large and enthusiastic meeting in the
Club Room, in Clearfield, last week, at
which Republicans from all parts of the
county were present, it was resolved to have
one more Grand Rally before the November
election, and the Chairman of the County
Committee was requested to make arrange
ments for a Mass Meeting at Curwensville,
on Friday evening next It will be seen by
the announcement in another column that
the meeting has been cal ed. We are in
formed that either Gov. G eary or Thos.
M. Marshall, of Pittsburg, will be pres
ent and address the people. Gov. Geary
was prevented from being present at our
former meeting by his official duties, but
expects to be able to visit Curwensville on
Friday.
Let our friends turn out in force and make
this a grand and imposing demonstration.
Let us meet and rejoice over our victories.
Let us meet to recruit our ranks, to prepare
for the great and final battle, and to hear,
once more, a full discussion of the questions
involved in the canvass. Let every Repub
lican feel it his duty to be present.
"The hope of the Repnblio is In the Democracy
of the Keystone." Th Coffre-pot Oracle.
Alas! frail hope! Alas! poor Republic!
Twenty-two thousand naturalization papers
couldn' t save it What a fearful calamity, that
the coffee-pot and his patent citizens should
be so grievously disappointed ! "Wo is me,"
saith Billy, "my hope hath departed."
"This world is all a fleeting show,
The Senator-hip's a fizzle,
And back to Clearfield I must go
Come, Alfred, let us mizzle."
"Apply the test of Maine to this vote ... we
will have a clear majority of 4o,2o9." Chairman
IVallaee's Congratulatory
Wouldn't you like to pec it? "Figures
won't lie," but where's the majority?
"Sweet William's" arithmetic, like his coffee-pot,
has cullapsed.

Sharp the chap who says the Demo
cratic party was not defeated, but ouly met
with a reverse on Tuesday, Oetober 13th.
Just so ! Reverse means overthrown, and
overthrown means defeat ; then what was
the fate of the Democracy on the 13th?
Sarely, some people get wondrous wise, be
times !
The charter election, on Monday the 12th,
in Newark, N. J., indicates that New Jer

Where's that 1500 majority in Clearfield?

THE DRIFT OF THE TIDE."
Unmistakably and unceasingly the "tide"
is increasing in favor of Grant and Colfax,
and on the Third of November next, it will
so utterly "overwhelm" Seymour and Blair,
that their party friends will be constrained
to blush at the mere mention of their
names. In fact, rumors are rife of the in
tended with-drawal of Seymour and Blair
from the Presidential contest, and of the
putting forward of other candidates ; but
it wont do ! The fiat has gone forth, that
the whole crew traitors, rebels, copper
heads, and all will be so deeply hurried be
neath the patriotic "tide" of Constitution
al liberty that is now sweeping across the
whole land, that, naught will ever be able
tC resurrect it from the depths of desponden
cy into which it will be hurled. The fol
lowing examples will suffice to convince our
readers of the utter hopelessness of the so
called Democratic party even making a re
spectable show of strength for Seymour and
Blair at the November elections :
Republican majority in Ohio 18.000.
Republican majority in Maine 20,404.
Republican majority in Indiana 1,000-.
Republican majority in Nebraska 1,500.
Republican majority in Vermont 26,805.
Republican majority in Connecticut 2,864.
Republican majority in Pennsylvania 11,
000. It is announced that the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson has declared himself a supporter of
Graut and Colfax.
James Thompson, Esq., member of ihe
Democratic National Committee from Ohio,
has come out for Grant and Colfax.
Hendrick B.Wright, Esq., of Luzerne
county, Pa., always a Democrat, goes for
Grant and Colfax. The doors are still open,
but you must come quickly.
Judge Gridley, of Jackson, Michigan, a
leading Democrat, who has just come out
for Grant and Colfax, addressed a rousing
Republican meeting in that city last week.
The Montgomery (Alabama,) State Jour
nal, has flung the Grant and Colfax ban
ner to the "Southern" breeze, and is bat
tling faithfully and fearlessly for the cause
of freedom and equal justice. -
A Letter from Mount Carmel, 111., savs :
"Our distinguished fellow eitizen, Robert
Bell, Esq., has entirely renounced Democra
cy, and has come out fairly and squarely on
the Republican platform. lie thinks the
continued success of the Republican party
is the only surety of peace and prosperity.
Mr. Bell is an able and eloquent orator, and
is one of the most valuable accessions to our
party in Southern Illinois."
The Tuscaloosa (Alabama,) Banner de
clares that although that paper is Demo
cratic, and its editors have been Democrat
ic all their lives, they cannot and will not
swallow the new fangled Democracy, now
attempted to be fastened upon the people
by the .lame leaders who in 1860 brought on
the war and the ruin of the South. The
Banner says it opposed .those leaders then
and opposes tnem now, as the same spirit
lurks in the bosom of those leaders, and if
their tdvice is follow ed again it will lead to
the same results as in 1860. The Banner
believes that the aim of the Seymour and
Blair party to day is the same as was that of
the Breckinridge and Lane party in I860.
Then that paper supported Douglas and
Johnson, and now it will support Grant and
Colfax.
Judge Pierrepont, of New York, the wri
ter of the annexed letter, has always been a
Democrat of the strictest sect, and is now
one of the Sachems of Tammany Hall.
His letter denouncing Biair, his principles
and his supporters, as libels upon the purer
Democracy and as treason to the Union, is
supported by a magnificent donation to the
expenses of the canvass for Grant, Colfax
and Peace. His language should be read
and pondered by honest Democrats every
where:

To Alex. T. Steycart, Esq., Chairman of
me trranc committee, fc. : v.
Mr Dear Sir : When Frank P. Blair,
who had no claims whatever upon the
Democratic party,-was nominated in Tam
many Hall, with such shouts of applause,
just after proclaiming that " We must have
a lesident tcho will trample into dust"
the laws of Congress, and when four rebel
generals made the chief ratification speech
es in New York, my attention, as a War
Democrat, was arrested by this remarkable
exhibition. Since then I have carefully no
ted the expressions of Southern journals,
and the speeches of Southern politicians,
from Wade Hampton on his return to Char
leston, to the recent manifesto of B. II. Hill,
and I find that every leading rebel in the
Confederacy regards the expected election
of Seymour and Blair as a complete vindi
cation of the rebellion, and as certain to re
store the South to every right which she
had before the war, including the "tramp
ling into dust" by military feet, the procla
mation oflreedom.atid the fourteenth amend
ment the Constitution.
This contest presents a. wpII AofinaA la,,,.
between the friends and the enemies of our
government 1 cannot conceive how anv in.

ed, its prosperity de troyed, its patriots insult
ed, and the "''Lost Cause" restored, can vote
against u rant, in my judgment the elec
tion of Seymour and Blair would forthwith
contuse and paraiyze our business, nnrl r.

which I give to be used in the election of

Ohio Election.
The Republican majority in Ohio will foot
up about 18.000, when the whole official
vote is in. Ohio is good for 40,000 majori
ity for Grant and Colfax.
- Indiana Election.
The vote is close in Indiana. Governor
Baker's majority will be only about 1,000.
Indiana will, however, give Grant and Col
fax from 15,000 to 20,000 majority.
Nebraska Election.
Partial returns from Nebraska indicate
that the State has gone Republican by about
1,500 majority. The State will cast her e-
lectoral vote for Grant and Colfax by from
3,0j0 to 5,000 majority.
Didn't com off that Democratic jollifi
