Naturalized citizens, otherwise quali
fied, bat not registered, can secure their
votes under the fourth section of the Regis
try Law.
Geart and Williams are worthy the
support of every loyal man in the State.
Then let bo Republican remain at home on
Tuesday nest.
BlT a few days yet remain in which you
can work for the success of our ticket. Then
buckle cn your harness and go to work, and
viitory is ours.
Republicans ! go
to work. You can
still do much for the success of our candi
dates between this and election Jay. See
that every voter is at the polls.
Remember, every native born citizen is
entitled to vote at the coming election, al
though not registered, but otherwise qua'i
fied. See fourth section of Registry Law.
Citizen of Pennsylvania, if another war
were to fall upon the Commonwealth, would
you feel safe with John W. Geary or Asa
Packer in the chair, in view of their past
records ? '
Tuesday next is the day of election. It
behooves every Republican to buckle on .his
armor and be ready for the fizht. A long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether,
and the victory is ours.
Younq men, you who are between the
ages of twenty-one and twenty-two years,
under the fourth section of the Registry
Law you can obtain your vote, although
your naffio does not appear on the list of
voters. -
Active Republican, if you have neigh
bors who arc indifferent as to the result on
Tuesday next, we entreat you to see them
and urge them to go to the polls. Every
vote makes our victory more overwhelming
and complete.
Several of the leading Democrats of
this place, acknowledged last week that they
had not a ghost of chance of electing Pack
er. AYith a full Republican vote polled,
Packer will be beat at least 30,000. Let
our friends remember this, and turn out to
a man.
Republicans, you have the numerical
strength to elect the Governor, Supreme
Jude and the Legislature. The interests
of the State and Union demand that the
Repulicans should hold these three branches
of our State Government. Then tarn out
in your might, and secure the much desired
result of the friends of freedom, law and
order.
It is stated that Aa Packer's dear friend,
Jeff. Davis, is coming home to aid him in
bis .efforts to be elected Governor of Penn
sylvania. This announcement has so unset
tled Asa's mind, that he is undecided wheth
er he will vote for himself in Mauch Chunk
or Philadelphia. Poor "Pride of the Val
ley," we really pity you in your dilemma;
but our advice is that you vote where you
can do so for the least amount of taxes for
about $3,95.
Upon what qualifications does Cyrus L.
Pershing's claims for Supreme Judge rest?
Was he ever a judge ? Is he an eminent
lawyer? Did he ever conduct an important
case? lias he had any experience for the
responsibilities of a seat upon the Supreme
Bench? All these questions must be an
swered in the negative. How can any law
yer desire the elevation of such a man to the
Bench? If doL then can he vote for Mr.
Pershing?
Republican's, wake up! action is the
word ! Let every man do his duty ! Let
not the good cause languish. You have
a Governor and Judge of the Supreme
Court to cleet. Defeat would be the worst
calamity that could befal our State and the
whole country, just uow. Then we say a
gain, go to work and get out every voter in
your district, aud you will secure a grand
and glorious victory over rebels and copper
heads combined.
Victobt is ours! From every section of
the State comes the cheering intelligence
that the usual Eepublicap majority will be
given for the State ticket, if our party
friends will only go to the polls and rote.
Considering the apathy which usuaJIy fol
lows a loug and severely contested Presiden
tial campaign this will be the one of the
greatest victories ever achieved by the Re
publican party. To the indomitable energy
ot the Chairman of our State Committee,
Hon. John Covode, must be attributed this
triumph, in the ua. hon-- may. be be

Taxpayers t Remember that Asa Tack

while a member of Congress spending the
remainder of the nine months' at home
speculating in coaL '-
Poor Men ! Remember that Asa Pack
er, since his nomination for Governor, has
increased the freight on coal 75 cents a ton
thus taking that much from the pockets
of the poor consumers of coal to aid him in
defraying the expenses of the present politi
cal campaign.
Soldiers ! Remember that Asa Packer
sympathised with the rebels during the war,
and that he went to Europe in order to e-
vade rendering any assistance to the Boys in
Blue, while defending the Union and the
Constitution.
Laboring men! Remember that Asa
Packer tiied to make the boatmen work lor
starvation prices, so as to enable him to live
at ease and be clothed in fine linen, while
his workmen were living iu shanties and
clothed in rags.
Farmers ! Remember that Asa Packer,
the millionaire, shirks the payment of taxes
upon his immense wealth by a pretended
residence in Philadelphia, thus nearly doub
ling the taxes of the farmers in Carbon
county, where bis family reside in a palatial
residence.
Loyal men ! Remember that Asa Pack
er refused to pay the county taxes assessed
against him in Carbon county, and yet he
volnntaiily and freely maintains, in elegant
style. stMauch Chunk, the neice and broth
er of the Arch traitor Jeff Davis.
Voters of Pennsylvania! is the man
who takes $3,000 for 54 day's services, who
puts an extra tax of 57 cents per ton on the
poor mans' coal, who sympathised with the
rebels during the late war, who tried to
force laboring men to work at starvation
prices for him, who shirks the payment of
his taxes by a pretended residence else
where, and who now maintains rebels and
their friends free of charge, a fit person to
occupy the Gubernatorial chair of this great
and free State?
Asa Packer seems to have a "constitu
tional" objection to the payment of taxes.
He moves to Philadelphia to escape con
tributing out of his estate its share to the
burdens of government ; and, still further,
he does not allow the rich corporation of
which he Is three filths owner, to pay its
taxes to the State. It may not be generally
known that the Lehigh Valley Railroad is
to-day a debtor to the State for over $25,-
000, aim, notwithstanding its enormous
gains, has refused to pny ; so that at the
present time, in the court of Carbon county.
there are pending two suits of the Common
wealth vs. Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa
ny. One of these is for $1,093 86, settled
against it by the Auditor General and State
Treasurer, lor tax on tonuage, so long ago
as the 18th of October, 1SC6, and not yet
paid. The other is for $19,31)2 50, settled
against it March 4th, 1809. Qurry If it
is now so difficult a proc"3s to compel the
Lehigh Valley Railroad to pay taxes, how
will it be if Mr. Packer should be governor,
with an Attorney General of his own selec
tion, the only person in a position to make
that corporation pay ?
: Why should Henry W. Williams be e
lected Justice of the Supreme Court?. Be
cause he is a sound lawyer, has had experi
ence "on the bench, is tried and competent.
And juHt because he is not eminent as a
lawyer, because he ha not. had experience
on the bench, because he is not tried, and
not com potent, should Cyrus L. Pershing be
rejected by the voters of Pennsylvania. It
is not necessary to enlarge upou this sub
ject There is not a voter in the State (or
very few at least) who does hot know that
it is of the highest importance to have on
the Supreme bench men of the best legal
ability, of experience and tried integrity.
Judge Williams is such a man. Cyrus L
Pershing is not. This makes the duty of
every voter plain; ana if the people are
true to their own and the interests of the
State, Henry W. Williams will be triumph
antly elected to the Sudgeship he now fills
and honors by appointment.
W HEN Mr. Clymer was up for Governor,
it was discovered that he had voted against
the final passage, in the Seuate, of the bill
restoring to soldiers the right to vote of
which they had been deprived by those Cop
perhead J udes Woodward, Lowrie, and
Thompson. That was a bad vote for lion.
Hiester Clymer, and helped "lay him out"
It now appears that Cyrus L. Pershing. Esq.,
then a Copperhead member of the House,
had followed Clyuier's lead, and must share
Cfymer's fate. It was a bad thing to try
thus to punish soldiers; their least punish
ment should be to be excused from govern
ing, or being a J udge over those they thus
wronged.
' Thire is as much point as truth in the
remark of a coteinporary that with the ex
ccpiion 01 a lew leaaers nere ana there,
there is nothing, left of the old fashioned
Democracy but five per cent of old Wh:g,
fifteen er cent, of Know Nothinga and the
balance made up from our Irish adopted
citizens. Some of their best orators are
remnants of the Whig party or of the "dark
lantern" politics, for which Mr. Asa Pack
er te.-tified his regard, when he bolted to
one of their candidates from a regular
Democratic nomination.
Every Democratic Senator voted last
winter against what is kown as the "Schuyl
kill Mining Act" Had that Act been pass
ed, and extended to Luxurne county, in all
probability the Avoudale disaster would
never hate occurred." Workingmert miners
especially will not fail to see in what di
rection their Interests lie. ' The Democracy
will not protect them, as is evidenced by
their united vote ou the "Schuylkill Mining
Act." Let them remember this fact.
Repi-blicans, the prospects of a glorious
victory in October was never more promis
ing. Be but true to yourselves and the
cause of freedom to down-trodden humani
ty you advncttte.and your victory on fbc VJtk
will soml a thrill of rojok-hig throughout the
Republic.

A curious charge is made against the
Railroad King candidate of the Democracy
that to prevent . unnecessary wear and
tear of conscience he stceart by proxy.
'"There is (says the Reading Time) a curi
ous circumstance connected with the pay

make this statement without fear of contra
diction, for the fact can be ascertained at
the office of the U. S. Revenue Assessor of
the First Congressional Discrict of Pennsyl
vania. We challenge his political friend to
to inquire into it.
This is the way of "whipping the devil I
round the stump" that none but a sharp
witted fellow of tender conscience, like Asa,
would have thought of. And this is the
man the Democratic press tell us is going to
put a check on official demoralization, if e-
lected.
An indignant taxpayer of Carbon county,
while admitting that at one time Judge
Packer did pay a large amount of tbe taxes
of the county, complains that by changing
his residence without changing his home, he
thereby unjustly increased the taxes of the
neighbors Ot his latuily. l'Or instancc.lt he
paid One half thetaxesof the district be- I
fore he changed his residence, the taxes of
the people remaining are just doubled. The 1
taxpayers of the district claim that Mr. I
Packer did not pay one Cent more taxes than
did any other taxpayer, according to his
wealth. He was assessed on $1,200,000 of
Lehigh Valley Railroad stock, when it was
known he owned 00,000 shares, which stock
was then selling at $75, which would make
the snug sum of $4,500,000, or $3,300,000
greater than the amount he was assessed.
Not content with the saving such an under
assessment would insure him, he leaves his
fellow citizens to make up the tax levies
which were based partially upon his wealth.
and this is what the people of Carbon coun
ty, aud - the honest taxpayers throughout
the State, will remember when they vote
on next Tuesday.
Our friends in Philadelphia prombe not
less than 5,000 majority for the Republican
State ticket, and some even predict that it
will reach 8,000. This is glorious and en
couraging intelligence to our friends every
where. Republicans of Clearfield county,
we urge you every man to go to the polls
on Tuesday next and do your part towards
the triumphant election of our gallant stand'
ard bearers, Geary and Williams. Your
participation in this great and grand victory
will be one of the most pleasing reoolicctiuus
in after life. Remember this.
During the rebellion, in a speech, John
Metzgar, the present Democratic candidate
for Assembly in the Lycoming district,
said : "Let us join bands with the South
" and put down the Republican party."
The same spirit still pervades these friends
of rebels, and the two are now working to
gether to "put down" the gallant men who
saved the Union from destruction. "Boys
in Blue," remember this fact, and staud
firmly by your gallant comrade, John W.
Geary, on Tuesday next. He is worthy of
your undivided support.
The increased internal revenue receipts
from tobacco during the fiscal year, ending
June 30,1869 (mostly under GrantJ.amouut-
ett to $4,0j2,U00. And the increased re
ceipts from internal revenue during the
present quarter over the corresponding pe
riod of last year is estimated at ten millions
of dollars, or at the rate of forty millions per'
annum. Voter mark that ! and vote for
Geary and Williams. Their triumphant e-
lection will strengthen the hands of the Na
tional Administration in its efforts to have
the laws fully executed.
Packer is daily growing weaker and
weaker. Where he is best known there
his party vote will be the lightest Honest
men scorn him for his attempts to evade the
payment of his taxes ; the laboring men de
spise him for the manner in which his early
fortune was wrung from their toil, while the
leaders of the Democracy are down on him
because he does not shell out a portion of
his ill gotten wealth more freely for the ben
efit of their pockets. : - ' ' "
The Democratic party is the party of ex
travagance. In our State Legislature, even
while the Republicans have been in power,
Democratic legislator were always the read
iest to introduce and vote for the squander
ing of money. Ic the last Legislature a
Democrat introduced a bill to increase the
pay of members to $1,500, and a large num
ber of Democrats voted for it. To the credit
of the Republican members they defeated it
Allegheny county is fully aroused to
the importance of the present political con
test. Our friends there promise not less
than 8,000 majority for Geary and Williams.
Let the Republicans of Clearfield cotnebo'd
ly up to the support of their Allegheny
brethren, and cast a full and united vote for
our excellent and worthy candidates. Ti e
interests of the State demand this at our
hands.
Wx call attention to the address issued by
Hon. John Covode, chairman of the State
Central Committe. Let it be studied by ev
ery voter. We appeal with confidence to
the conscience snd intelligence of the State.
We simply lay before the people of the State

Upon taking the Chair, Mr. McEnally
made a tew timely, pointed and interesting
remarks, and then introduccn to the meet
ing His Excellency John W. Geary.
The Governor is a tall,tioble looking man,
and was received with three hearty cheers
of weicome by the immense throng. Quiet
being restored
Governor Geary first alluded to the charge
so generally made by the opposition, that
the country was in a stale of financial ruin
and di.siress. Said he hud traveled through
out the Slate and nowhere had found any
thing to justify such charge ; but, on the
other hand, w herever he had been, business
was as prosperous as in former times.
He next referred to the oft repeated
charges made against his administration in
regard to the management of the finances
of the State ; from which, a person believ
ing the charges, might suppose that under
his administration 'the State was plunged
into debt and going speedily to financial ruin.
So far from this being the case, he showed
that, during his administration of less than
three years, between four and five millions
of dollars of the State debt had been paid,
aod it we take into account the means on
hand,' the amount of the reduction will be
little less than six millions. This is a far
greater reduction than was ever accomplished
in the same time under any former adminis
tration the debt having invariably been
increased under Democratic rule, aiid re
duced under Republican rule.' And at the
sami time the State tax on Real Estate was
... , ,. , , i it .i i v
entirely abolished. And all this has been
accouQtiiished. notwithstanding tha exnendi-
ture under recent acts of the Legiulature of
five millions of dollars for the war debt, and

the State are managed with equal success in
the future the entire State debt can be paid 1 for he would devote his remarks to the dis
off in the course of twelve years. ' I section of the Democratic speeches and
,;vNext he spoke of the charges so frequent
l.jy made agaiust him for granting pardons
that by its too frequent use he abused the
pardoning power. He proceeded to sho
that this charge was groundless that the
average number of pardons granted by him
was much less than the number granted by
any proceeding administration. And espe
cially that the Democratic administrations
of Bigler and Packer, which are referred to
as models, had granted many more pardons
in the 'same ' time, aud this too when the
population of the State was much less than
it is now. Also, that nine out of every ten
that c'amored forpardonns were Democrats,
and that three to one of the pardons grant-
ed were to Democrats. In regard to the
granting of pardons some of the uiost ab
surd aod false stories have been circulated
One, that a negro, sent to the Penitentiary
from rranklin county, for an outrage com
mitted upon three youi g white girls, had
been pardoned by him. This story is utter
ly false. The negro referred to is still in
the penitentiary under sentence of the court,
and not only, had not been pardoned, but
never will be uudcrhis administration. lie
believed the punishment in this case was
not equal to the crime that was committed.
Another storv. Dublished in Centra n.
was that Twitchell, the Philadelphia niur-
. ... ... .
derer,secretly escaped by means of a pardon
and was still alive. This absurd story was
effectually answered by the Democratic flier
iff and officers in Philadelphia, who had
Twitchell in charge, and by others who knew
him well, and who examined and identified
him after he was dead.
It was also charged upon him that he
failed to exetci.-i; the veto power aud there

He also referred to the act abolishing the
Lvcouiine judicial district. In regard to
this, it was his opinion at the time that the
Legislature had entire control over the mat-
ter, and, as there was little or no opposition
to the bill, and all the members from that
district expressed themselves in its lavor,

The Governor went on to say that the
mnet Imnxrtinl involved was the nnn-
ciples by which the two parties were govern-
I ed. Candidates themselves were of less

vote for their principles. v hat would this
country be now if the principles and policy
of the Democratic party had prevailed?
James Buchanan held that no State could
be coerced, and to make such coersion im
possible he scattered the army and the navy

prevailed we would have been a divided
people. It was the principles and policy of
the Republican party that inspired hope
and saved the Union. The Democratic
party wishes us to forget these things. But
thoso who have endured the hardships of
the war, who have seen their dearest friends
fall by their side.shot down by rebel bullets,
cannot und will not forget these things. We
stand by the principles for which we fought,
and intend, by the help of God, to carry
out a policy which will preserve the Union
which we saved.
On this subject the Governor spoke ear
nestly and eloquently. But we have not
room to give his remarks, neither are we
able to Drescnt them in such a manner as
will do justice to the speaker.
Gov. Geary spoke over two hours, and
was listened to with marked and respectful
attention. He was repeatedly cheered. It
was altogether an able and excellent speech,
and raised him higher than ever in the re
spect and esteem of all who heard him.
When wo remember that Gov. Geary was
through the war, in more than sixty battles.
including the battles ot lioltvar, t-'edar
Mountain, Chancellorville and Gettysburg,
and Shcrmau's great march from Atlanta
to the sea that he fought the Rebellion in
nine States that he was thrice wounded,
aud saw his son, Capt. Edward R. Geary,
fall dead by his side in the battle ot Wau
hatchie we may judge how deoply he must
feci on a subject thus engraved upon his
memory ; aud how earnest must he be to
preserve that Union which he helped to save
at so great a sacrifice. Such, indeed, is the
record of our candidate. While Packer was
entertaining Vallandizham, Geary was
fighting the battles of his country.
Al the conclusion ol Gov. Geary's speech,
A. n. Chase, Esq., of York, Pa., was in
traduced to the audience. His remarks had
reference almost entirely to the 1 5th Amend

rebellion, and its incorporation into the Con

safeguard we had against future rebellion.

pointed and convincing, and were received
with manifest satisfaction by the people
