Blair Ignored.
Seymowr, Belmont, and all the Tammany
TMaisi'O, entirely ignore Blair in their speech
ea93fesses and proclamations. Poor Frank,
he'-ta dead weight. ' His revolutionary let
ter, and atrocious threat that "Grant should
never leave the White House alive," are
too much even for Democratic stomachs,
though their mucous membranes are like the
. hide ot the rhinoceros. - Hence they put
him entirely in the back-ground, and Sey
mour devotes himself to the hopeless task
of convincing the people that it is not the
'Democratic intention to do anything violent
or revolutionary. But the people are not
te be deceived by Horatio's specious prom
ises to get votes. They know perfectly well
that it was Blair's letter that secured him
his nomination, and that his threat of Grant's
assassination was applauded to the echo by
his Democratic auditors. They know, more
over, that Wade Hampton, and the other
Southern rebels, who made the platform and
nominated the candidates, boldly declared
that "the lost cause" would be redeemed by
the election of Seymour and Blair, and that
the whole South has been resonant during
the entire canvass with the threats of these
traitors. Horatio is too late with his prom
ises. The blatant Blair ought to have been
repressed sooner. Hampton and his rebel
crew ought to have kept quiet until after the
election. "Forewarned is forearmed," and
the people will see to it, that no risk is run
by placing either traitors or their "friends"
n power.
The Result in Pennsylvania.
Despite the large number of fraudulent
naturalizations, and the immense coloniza
tion from neighboring States, the Repuhli
can party had elected its State ticket by
9,677 majority sixteen of the twenty-four
members of Congress eighteen of the thirty-three
members of the State Senate, and
sixty-one of the one hundred members of
the House of Representatives. This is truly
grand and complete triumph, and a glo
rious victory over a desperate and unscrupu
lous political foe, who resorted to every
species of fraud and rascality to defeat the
will of the people. But, let there be no
relaxation of effort to secure the victory a
the Presidential battle in November, for we
have still to contend against the same wily,cor
rnpt and desperate party which confronted
as in October, and who will resort to any fair
or unfair means for success. Then, close up
the ranks and press on the Union column, so
as to make our majority for Grant and Col
fax, on Tuesday next, as large as possible.
All-Hail, West Virginia.
The State election in West Virginia on
Thursday last, October 22d, resulted in
a grand Republican triumph. The vote j
from 27 counties, casting four-fifths of the
vote of the State, indicates a Republican
majority of about 5,000. We carry every
Congressional die trict,and elect three-fourths
of the members of the Legislature, on joint
ballot, which secures as a United States
Senator in place of Van Winkle, who, we
trust, will be a firm Union man. West Vir
ginia is the Seventh gun against the new
rebellion. She will give a largely increased
majority for Grant and Colfax. Then, all
hail free Virginia 1 the worthy scioa of the
land of Washington and Jefferson. May
your bright star of freedom never shine less
brilliant than it does at present.
"How is tfc Time !"
In one of Grant's earl battles, it is rela
ted that, at the critical moment he placed
himself at the head of his old regiment with
the shout, "Now is the time to drive them,
boys!" and secured the victory for the Stars
and Stripes. In the great battle on which
the future of the country depends, the mo
ment has arrived when the cry should be,
"Now is the time to drive them!" Let
this be the watchword and drive them we
will. Remember this.
Grant Quietly smokes his cigar, and leaves
the $tump for Seymour and Blair.
Horatio on the War Path.
As a last resource the demoralizes and terror-stricken
sachems of Tammany have got
Horatio on the stump in person. He began
in Buffalo on the 22d inst. and is to speak
in thU State during the present week.
Speech-making killed Geu. Scott when he
was a candidate, and if anything had been
wanting to render certain the overwhelming
defeat of Seymour, it would have been this
stumping tour.
There is an inate sense of propriety in
every man, that is shocked by a Presidential
candidate traveling over the country solicit
ing votes. The thing in itself is bad
enough, but when the candidate descends, as
Seymour has done, to the use of billingsgate,
characterising U. S. Senators as "vagrants,"
"miscreants," &c, it is not only bhocking
to the sense of propriety, but disgusting to
every right-minded man. Following the
example of his friend, Andrew Johnson,
when he "swung around the circle," he be
gan in Buffalo, by the use of epithets and
hard names, and he will end in New York,
by being the worst whipped and most uni
versally despised candidate that ever ran for
an office in America.
With the exception cf these epithets, the
speech contained nothing new. In argument
it was a simple re-hash of what has been
often and better said by the Democratic
stumpers on the sul ject of Reconstruction
and Finance. He especially complained
about the distribution of capital under the
National Banking Act. He is the last man
to complain that too many bonds were taken
by Eastern capitalists. He boasted that he
never held a Government bond, and having
refused to aid the Government in its extrem
ity, he ought to be ashamed to find lault
with those who did. The Government had
enough to do to put down the Democratic
Rebellion, and take care of Mr. Seymour
and his New York "friends," without enter
ing into nice mathematical calculations as to
how many bonds ought to be taken by East
ern States a"nd how many by the Western.
It was glad to get money to pay its soldiers
and sailors, their widows and orphans, with
out inquiring too closely whether more of it
came from the East than the West More
over, the thing regulates itself. The cur
rency naturally goes wherever it is needed
most, and being of equal value East and
West, North and South, it distributes itself
just in the proportion that production and
labor require it. His financial argument is
simply a piece of'sophistry, too transparent
to deceive any man of ordinary intelligence.
The more ho speaks, the fewer votes he will
get. We have neither time or space to an
alyze his speech, nor is it necessary. His
record is familiar to the people the plat
form on which he was nominated has been
thoroughly ventilated and discussed, and the
majorities in several States have condemned
both it and him. His sophistry comes too
late. He has, in truth, "been caught up
by the whelming tide," and on the 3rd day
of November he will go down so deep in his
"sea of troubles," that nothing but the
mighty blast of Gabriel's trump will ever
reach him. Good bye, Horatio.
On his Travels.
The coffee-pot chairman has been on a
visit to Ohio, it is said, for the purpose of
arranging another raid on the ballot-boxes
in this State on the 3d prox. They have
abandoned all hope of carrying Chio, and
now intend to bring over enongh Democrats,
with what they can spare from Delaware
and Maryland, to carry Pennsylvania for
Seymour. But, like the Supreme Court
naturalizations, it will prove a failure. The
Republicans are everywhere on the alert,
determined to stand by their guns, and fin
ish the great work they have in hand the
utter overthrow and annihilation of the de
moralized Democracy.
"Push Things."
The Copperheads to day are in the condi
tion of the rebel army when Sheridan wrote,
to Grant, "I think Lee will surrender if we
'push things.'" Grant's reply was "push
things, and Lee surrendered. So to-day
the motto of the conquering Republican
hosts should be "push things." In every
district in the county "push things." Ad'
vance on the enemy f charge them front,
flank and rear, and victory, glorious over
whelming victory will be the result. Re
publican voters, "push things."
An Unerring Sign.
As the certainty of Grant's election in
creases, gold comes down. On Saturday
last it o!d at 134 the lowost figure it
has reached for over a year. And, as gold
declines,the Government bonds go up. The
7-30's are selling at par the 5-20's at from
111 to 115), and the due compounds at
H9. After Grant's election on Tuesday
next, gold will be lower than it has been
since 1S62, and goods of all descriptions will
decline in the same proportion. Let the
people remember this I

In 1S66 Clymer's majority was 1136, and
now Boyle's majority is 1 1 42. That may be
an increase of 40 according to the new Dem
ocratic arithmetic, but the old system makes
it only 6. A very convenient "merscheen"
(that new arithmetic) to show "laree Dem
ocratic gains" lefore an election, but which
are not visible after the election.
"The New Rebellion."
Certain arms, purchased for the State of
Arkansas, were recently shipped from Mem
phis for their destination. They had been
kept on the wharf several days ; numerous
threats had been made that they should
never reach Arks n?as ; and the Ku-Klux
Democracy of Memphis had kept a close
watch upon them. Shortly after the boat
carrying them had left Memphis a tug was
seized by an organized party, thoroughly
drilled and under strict military discipline.
They proceeded down the river in pursuit
getting ready meanwhile for a fight, their
surgeon taking out his instruments for work,
and everything indicating a thorough prep
aration for their piratical undertaking. Con
trary to their expectation, there was no re
sistance to their attack ; they held armed
possession of the boat until all the muskets
had been destroyed, and then abandoned it,
The full particulars of this extraordinary
occurrence are given, but the above are the
essential facts. Some innocent persons ob
ject to the phrase sometimes used, "The
New rebellion." Will they please tell as
under what more appropriate heading an
occurrence like t his conld be classified? And
when they have made that explanation, per
haps they may be able to dwell with the
pleasing unction that always marks their
performances in that line upon the long suf
fering, meek and peacable character of our
persecuted Southern brethren of the Sey
mour and Blair (or Chase and Adams, or
any other man) persuasion.
Be Vigilant.
Let every Republican remember that the
desperate leaders of the Democracy are re
sorting to every trick and fraud that their
Coffee-pot Chairman, so fertile in such ex
pedients, can devise to carry the State ou
next Tuesday. Do not rest then, until we
have finished our work. Be earnest, active
and watchful. Above all see that every vote
is out. "A long pull, a strong pull, and a
pull altogether," and the work will be done,
the victory achieved, Grant will be Presi
dent, and the country will be at Peace !
An Executive Forgery.
The law requiring that all orders to the
Southern District Commanders should go
through the General of the Army, Andrew
Johnson impudently appended, to his recent
order iDviiing the people of Texas to an il
legal participation in the November election,
the name of General Grant, who was at the
time in Illinois,and has never sanctioned this
audacious forgery. The people may hear
from him on this point.
Look at Your Tickets.
Let every Republican bo careful to exam
ine his ticket and see that he has the correct
names of all the electors. Spurious tickets
have been circulated by the Coffee-pot Com
mittee, for the purpose of deceiving Repub
licans, and preventing the election of our
electors. Compare your ticket with that
printed in our paper, and be sure it is all
right before voting. You cannot be too vig
liant.
Get Out the Vote.
Every Republican should regard himself
as a special committee to get out the vote.
bee that every man is at the polls. If any
one is unable to walk, haul hira there. Let
nothing prevent every vote from being poll
ed lor Grant and Colfax. Let us show what
we can do for the great cause of Liberty,
Loyalty, and Humanity, even in Clearfield.
Let ns press on earnestly and vigorously to
the great and final Victory !
The Ticket. (
We print, on the margin of this paper,
several Tickets, which are correct, and have
only to be cut off and folded to be rady for
voting. We trust that each subscriber will
cut the tickets off his paper, and take them
with him to the polls. He will then be cer
tain that there is no mistake, and that tick
ets can be had without writing them.
JIore Help. The Elk Advocate, here
tofore a strong supporterof the Wade Hamp
ton ticket, has been purchased by a number
of the Republicans of Elk county, and will
be used henceforth in the interests of the
Union Republican party. John F. Moore,
the retiring editor, has our best wishes for
his future prosperity.
The Democrats of Kentucky are varvinir
the canvass by burning General Grant in
effigy, which is decidedly less open to objec
tion than the burning of school-houses and
the unlucky "little niggers" unable to make
their escape. Grant can stand it, but the
little fellows can't.
The day for speeches has gone. The
hour for work is at hand. Let us "push
things" on the third of November, and ju
bilate afterwards. When Grant and Sheri
dan had whipped the rebels at Petersburg
and Five Forks, they marched "on to Rich
mond." -
Mr. Seymour has taken the stump, and
has a number of set conundrums to propound
to his friends. Swans sing before they die,
and why should Mr. Seymour not follow the
poetical example and talk a little before
meeting his political doom.
Official returns from all but two counties
n Indiana give a Republican majority of
1,00. That'll do.
"THE DRIFT OF THE TIDE."
There seems to be no stopping that
"tide." It keeps "drifting" on to the dis
may and consternation of Seymour, Blair,
Wallace iCo. We give some examples be
low, which we ask our readers carefully to
digest especially the "wave" that is rol
liug in from New York :
George Francis Train, special correspon
dent of the New York World, comes out
for Grant and Colfax.
The news from Oregon is significant.
The Grant tide is rolling over the Rocky
Mountains, and will sweep all opposition to
Grant into the Pacific The triple sister
hood Nevada, Oregon and California
will all go for the Great Captain.
General Curtis, the hero of Fort Fisher
and a Democrat high in the past confidence
of that party, is now cordially for Grant.
He expressly repudiates the Blair version
of Democratic principles, and pledges his
hearty support "to the election of Grant,
and the success of the principles illustrated
in his public life and services.' And so it
is with thousands of Democrats, in every
State.
Mr. R. N. Hutchinson, a well known citi
zen af Harrisburg, and hitherto an active
and hardworking Democrat, who voted with
the Democracy at the October election, has
left the ranks of that party, and openly de
clared himself a supporter of Gen. Grant.
He will vote the Republican ticket on the
3d of November, and advices all who love
their country to do likewise. The Democ
racy can illy afford to lose the services of
Mr. Hutchinson, as there was no better
worker in their party.
Major General Edward McCook, the fa
mous Ohio cavalry leader, who has been
claimed by the Democracy, declares unqual
ifiedly for Grant. In a recent letter he re
grets his absence from the country during
the campaign, and plainly states that he
views the position of his cousin, George W.
McCook, a well known Democratic politi
cian, and once with pity we speak it the
friend of Douglass, with disgust "George,"
he bluntly fays, "is somewhat powerful on
the stump in Ohio, and I would like to fol
low him around and neutralize the effect of
his rhetoric by , stating the fact that he is
the only one of all his name who supports
Seymour and Blair, and the only male mem
ber of the family who was not in the army
during the war. I should think the spirits
of his dead father and brothers, who laid
down their lives in defence of the Union,
would haunt him with continued reproach
es." This little family history of George
Washington McCook presents us with a
model Democratic record.
The War Democrats of New York issued
a jail for a meeting at the Cooper Institute
on Wednesday evening, October21st, to
declare for Grant " and Colfax, and to take
measures to have their whole rote brought
out in Novemberi-.-Among the names ap
pended to the call appear Ilcnry Jficoll,
Moses Taylor, Edwards Pierrepont, William
Cutting, Edward Weston, William F. Have
meyer, Charles A. Secor, Francis B. Cut

serd, Henry D. Ingalls, George R. Butler,
Edward Ilaight, Joseph Seligman, Freder
ic Kuhne, and representatives of nearly all
the leading Conservative firms of New
York. A prominent feature of the evening
was the presence of the Irish War Dem
ocrats under the leadership of General
Burke, Colonel Page of the Corcoran Le
gion, Captains LafEn, Nugent, Lynch of
the old Sixty ninth, and others. The words
of the call itself are an eloquent argument,
themselves appealing with peculiar power
and effect to the substance and honesty cf
the nation. Endorsed by the weightiest
names in the Western mercantile world,
they come with a meaning that will be pecu
liarly appreciated by business men men
who have property to save, and who want
peace that they may make money :
Those of Democratic antecedents, who
wish to retain the entire Union upon prin
ciples that are just ; Who believe that the
debt incurred in suppressing the rebellion is
a sacred obligation ;
Who insist that the plighted faith of the
nation shall not be violated, and that its
name and credit shall not be disgraced;
Who desire to treat the States lately in
rebellion with lenient justice, but who will
not consent to surrender the Government
to Southern rebels, still insisting that the
rebellion was right, and still boasting of
continued devotion to the "Lost Cause."
Who are opposed to the repudiating doc
trines of the New York platform, and to
tne revolutionary manifesto ot one o: its
candidate? ;
And who believe that peace, safetv. and
prosperity for the whole countrv will be se
cured by the election of Gen. Gaant.
In accordance with this call Cooper Insti
tute was crowded, even to overflowine. and
the e nthusiasm manifested was indescriba
ble. The rneetinir was called to order bv
Judge Hilton, and presided over by Mr.
francis K. Cutting. The Hon. Edwards

number of others, addressed the meetine.
The resolutions embodied the spirit of the
call Thus the "tide" continus to flow on
ward, and on Tuesday next will overwhelm
the whole party that opposed the govern
ment during the late rebellion.
Republicans to Your Post.
The following, taken from a private letter
to the editor of the Pittsburg Commercial,
contains a timely warning, which Republi
cans should heed :
"I fear Our friends La v sral-1 arms anl
will be found on th nf tha
election without organization and enthusi
asm. This should nnt lu tt'hcru nr nnr
speakers ? Has not Frank Blair, the pre
determined assassin, given us a new and
startliog motive to exertion? Could anything
be more horrible than his late St Loui3
speech? and still it was received by Ameri
can Democracy with shouts of applause.
Let Republiians slumber nota moment, but
at once to the work before them."
Giving it Up.
We have said that dispassionate Demo
crats give up and concede the election of
Grant Of a certain class, the Round Ta
ble is an exponent. The last number of that
paper concedes the whole case, as follows :
"Now that the question of the Presiden
cy is virtually decided, let us hope that good
men of all parties will accept the situation,
resolve to make the best of things.and unite
in a hearty effort to restore the prosperity
and accord of the country. We have been
among the minority who have thought that
the best roads to national restoration, either
in heart or purse, did not lie in the direction
our Republican friends would have us pur
sue ; but when it becomes manifest that,
through lawful means, we are constrained to
go in that direction and no othsr.we are dis
posed to do so with a willing spirit, and to
hope that the consequences may be better
than we have anticipated."
In another article the Round Table says
"the Democratic leadership has been so dis
astrously bad that it deserves to be dwelt
npon, and, if possible, burnt into the mem
ory of the country."
Laconical. William A. Wallace, hav
ing retired to the depths of his inner con
sciousness for six days subsequent to the
last election, has conceived and brought
forth an address. It is without date, but
characteiistic, paragraphic, jerky, exclama

"You have fought a good fight," ex
claims the sensational leader to his shatter

to resort to biblical language in this extrem
ity we suggest; in view of the late riot an
murder, St James, chap. 4, verse 2: "Yi

the Democratic masses are harmoniously

The Election Frauds in Philadelphia.
A mass meeting of the Republican citi
zens of Philadelphia, under the auspices of
the Union League, was held at Concert Hall
on Friday evening last, to unite in an ex
pression of reprehension of the abominable
frauds perpetrated by the Democrats in the
late election. Mr. Samuel H. Perkins pro
sided, and pertinent speeches were made by
nenry D. Moore, Esq., ex-Gov Pollock, T.
9. Coffee, David P. Brown, Wm. E. Mann,
and Frederick Fralcy, Esqrs. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing the naturalization
proceedings of the Sapreme Court, the
wh .lesale importation and colonization of
ruffians from other Sates, and the course
of the Sheriff in stationing deputies at
the polls, and declaring it to be the duty
of the Republican candidates to contest
the election, pledging them support in
doing so. On motion of Mr. Brown, a com
mittee of twenty-one was appointed to act
in conjunction with the Union League to
contest the election.
Disturbances have broken out in Gretna
and Carrolton, snburbs opposite and above
New Orleans. They began with a mob
which broke into the Carrolton jaitand hung
two negro prisoners. Fires, further murder
of negroes, and the effort to drive the Met
ropolitan Police from the field, are the later
features. The Rebel newspapers announce
that the long impending conflict seems about
to begin. Gen. Rosseau has called for more
troops. This is well ; but we trust less the
troops in Rosseau's hands than the ballots
now in the hands of the Nation, for preserv
ing the peace in Louisiana and throughout
the South. On Tuesday next the New
Rebellion will reach its Appomattox 1
The total vote in Pennsylvania on the 13th
instant was a little short of six hundred and
sixty seven thousand, an increase over the
vote of two years ago of nearly seventy thou
sand. The Republican v ote has increased
about thirty-one thousand, and the Demo
cratic about thirty eight thousand. Tbe lat
ter increase is swollen by the fraudulent nat
uralizations perpetrated in different parts of
the State, but particularly in Philadelphia.
If there are the above number of legal voters

The oldest tannery in this country is at
Bethlehem, Pa. It was built originally by
Moravians in 1743, and rebuilt and enlarg
ed by them in 17C1. They sunk eleven vats,
which have leen repaired, but are still in
use. The building is of stone, three stories
high ; the walls on the first story are thirty
inches thick, and on the next two stories
twenty-six and twenty inches respectively in
thickness. The Moravians who settled in
Bethlehem, under the leadership ot Count
Zinzendorf, erected this very substantial
structure to tan the hides and deerskins
used by them.
Seymour is not addicted to making enthu
siastic speeches. There is nothing encour
aging iu him or his speeches. On the con
trary, there is a vein of misery running
through all the speeches he has delivered.
This fact has been remarked more than once.
It puzzles some people. But it is quite nat
ural. He feds as he speaks mournful,
downcast, downhearted, disconsolate. It is
not in the nature of things for a man who is
utterly hopeless to get off a sparkling, hope
ful, encouraging, enthusiastic speech, and
people who expect it are quite unreasonable.
