REPl'BLICAN STATE TICKET.
FOB AUDITOR SEVERAL:
Col. DAVID STANTON, of Beaver.
KOlt SURVEYOR GENERAL :
Col. EOBERT B. BEATH, of Schuylkill.
The wheat crop in Kansas has been liar
Tested. The yied was unusually large.
A call for a Republican County Conven
tion, to nominate a County Ticket, appears
in our columns to day, to be held on Thurs
day, July 6th, 1S71.
Is 1860 the Democracy took sides with
traitors because they believed they were
right The "new departure" platform,
adopted by that party, condemns treason
now because they believe it to be expedient.
Remember that the Democracy by pro
claiming themselves in favor of negro suff
rage at this late day, acknowledge that the
Republican policy in reference to dealing
with the rebellion was right, and that the
Democracy was wrong.
Hark! A voice from the Tombs. Rob
ert speaks his mind on the new departure,
and says: ''When you can tear the live
thunder from its home in the burning ether,
and bind it a captive at the footstool of tyr
anny, then, and not till then, will I accept
the situation."
The Cleveland Herald, which had proph
esied the defeat of the Vailandigham plat
form, now acknowledges its error. It saj-3
very candidly and pointedly: ''We own up
to the fact that we did not believe Vallan
digham could make the Ohio Democrats
empty their stomachs of all they had swal
lowed in the past, and then deliberately tarn
round and eat their vomited words."
By tfif. fact of their having a majority of
one in the State Senate, the Democrats of
that body added over one hundred thousand
dollars extra expense to the State in the ap
propriation bill. Were they to poises
power in all the branches of the State Gov
ernment the Treasury would soon be so de
pleted that a Treasurer would not be needed.
Let the intelligent tax payer cypher a little
befere he votes for McCaiulless and Cooper.
We do not quotion that the Democratic
nominees or Auditor mnd is'urvrvr il ti,.rl
were good soldiers, but we do say that
standing upon a platform which is a contra
diction of itself, and an insult to the peo
ple ; and because they are the nomi nees of
a party which did all in its power to destroy
our national Government a p?rty which
cannot be trusted on account of its affinity
with treason n iuiclagent man can vote
for them.
The Gazette says : What is to become of
the white man's government? Last year the
Democrats declared that they would never
submit to anything but a white man's rule.
Now they pretend to be in favor of negro
suffrage, and contend for the equal rights of
all men whatever may be their race, color
or condition. Surely they cannot and wil
not denounce Republicans who have given
them the only political platform upon which
they can stand with safety. But should
they fail to carry their ticket next fall, they
may adopt a new platform. The Democra
cy are becoming very fickle and ela.-tio. They
will swallow anything that will secure politi
cal power. Principles they have not. The
virtue of sincerity would be a new compan
ion to them.
Democratic friend.-hip for the working
man is exemplified by the fact that a I'ein
ocratic majority in the State Senate refu.-eJ
to pass a resolution sent to them from the
Republican House, condemning the Coolie
system. The fact is, the leaders of the
Democratic party while professing great
love for the workingmen in order to secure
their votes, are still in favor of enslaved
labor, and the oppression of the working
men. Give that party political power, and
it would fill the collieries of Pennsylvania
with Coolies, willing to work for the old
Democratic standard of wages ten cents
per day. Let the miners in our coal regions
make a note of this fact and then vote with
the party they think most consent with
their interests.
For down-right lying commend us to a
"red hot" Democratic journal. Nearly ev
ery Democratic paper in the United States
has beco industriously circulating two very
characteristic lies; one charging the Presi
dent with appointing a son of Brigham
Young to a cadetship at West Point, and
the otner.that he refused a similar appoint
ment to a sod of the Wave Gen. Meagher.
The fact is, the son of Bripham Young was
appointed by Delegate Hooper, of Utah
and Meagher was appointed by a Demo
cratic Congressman from N. Y. City. Pres.
ident Grant" had been requested to appt-int
Meagher, and was about doing so, when
the Tammany Democracy became alarmed
for fear that such action might create for
Grant a popularity among the Irish Ameri
cans, secured the appointment from a Dem
ocrat. These slanders were started by some
irresponsible newspaper correspondent, for
tlia sole rurpose of accusing the President
of being in sympathy with the practices and
theories of Brighain Young and his follow
ers, and to incite the Irish against him, and
mala the Democratic soul generally very
b-appy. How many of these papers will
hve the manliness to make a retraction?
Are they Sincere ?
In the 0th resolution, passed by the re
cent Democratic State Convention, the De
mocracy declare that "we recognize the
" binding obligation of all the provisions of
" the Constitution of the United States
" as they now cxift." Iu order that the
people may see how this declaration aurees
with their position on that question in 1SGS,
we place the two side by side, to wit :
PLATFORM 18fH. I
Rrxolvai, Tht the
Democratic parly o f
Pennsylvania is opposed
to coulerring upon the
negro tbe light to rote,
and re do emphatically
deny that there is anv
PI.ATFKM 1871.

ognize tbe binding obli
gation of !'. the provis

pose negrosuffrage upon I uer and by tbe authori
se people of the S ate ly constitutionally ap
iu opposition to their ! pointed,

What think you of the twain? Was ever
such a perfect summersault turned by any
great political party ? No ! Never ! But,
are the Democracy sincere id their present
professions ? Do they really recognize the
''bitidiujr obligation" of the I5tli amend
ment '! To show that they ore not iu favor
of the "provisions of tli3 Constitution of
" the United States as they now exist," and
that they will repeal those provisions, just
as soon as they arc placed in power, we ap
peud some extracts from several fearless and
outspoken organs of that party. The Lan
caster I it tell iy enter says:
'We take it at it fare value, and find in it a
recognition of tbe fact that these amendments,
although improperly adopted, are at present a
part of the Constitution, and a statement tbat we
will obey them as long as they remain there ; but
no tHttm.itiutt i!tat we wilt not remove tkem wlten
tee ran property do u ."
The Bellefonte Wtitchimn says :
' We must be allowed to enter our earnest pro
test against any such cowardly deungoguery as
tbe ninth resolution, which, seeking to conciliate
hadicaliftn, -dcpreca'es the discussion' of the
negro uffrae and oTher so-called amendments
to ibe c mtitution and would fain bare the
agitation of tbese questions which mongrel
ism would bare us believe are 'dead issues,'
cease. . . . Radicals, political oowards. silly dem
agogue and men who hare scarcely enough of
Democratic blood in them to disiiuguixh them
from the mongrel r.-c!s who are now cursing
the country, may -deprecate the agitation' of the
negro suffrage question, but that Mill not stop it.
It is a ijiirsliuu. It will be agitated, and tbe Dem
ocratic tnaates. regardless of would be leaders
and ignorant teauticrs. will agitate ! asitmte .' .'

The Carlisle Volunteer says :
'-Push on the column, all who aro opposed to
negro equality, negro supremacy and negro im
pudence "
And to convince the people that the reso
lution passed by their Convention on June
24th, 1S7I, was "a lie," and that the above
quotations express the true sentiments of
the Democracy on the "negro question,"
we quote from the Philadelphia Sunday
Mircury (good Democratic authority) the
following :
'We give Mr Lewis C. Cassidy anil his com
rades, in thiit mean. Iyiii, humiliating, dinv
business, the credit of huvir.g pa.s;ed a resolution
which will, iu other States at least, prove a double-edged
sword. It will cut two ways. It will
not only disgust an drive off inttny Democrats,
tut prevent thousands t f honest and independent
Conservative.-! from voting with a party that has
forged a lie to win an election "
It is plain from the extracts given, that
the Demociatic professions of accepting tbe
Constitutional provisions "as they exist,"
are a cheat and a fraud, wlili the intent or
gul'iag the people into supporting their can
didate for the Presidency in 1S72. But it
won't do. The cloven hoof is too conspic
uous the vail too thin to deceive the most
superficial observer.
The Democratic Position.
Very few of the Demociatic papers in
this State respect the resolution of the Dem
ocratic State Convention endorsing the
XVth Amendment. The Bloomsburg Co
lunilii'iu, Buckalew's home orgtu, says :
We have ro respect for platforms set up by
convention? unless tbe principles tbey enui,ciate
have been previously fully discussed ami decided
by tbe pet pie in tbe selection of delegates."
Nor have the leaders of the Democratic
party any more respect for the platform set
up by Mc.Mullii: and Wallace in their recent
Convention, than has the editor of the Co
lumbian. The whole thing is only a blind
for the purpose of making Democratic votes.

One ot our members of tbe Legislature
(says the Scranton Republictin) said to us
the other day that if the Legislature had
adjourned without passing tie Appropria
tion bill it would have been a saving of a
million of dollars to the Commonwealth.
The Democratic majority in the Senate, in
order to compel the liepublican House to
submit to the killing of the Registry Law
in Philadelphia, passed a resolution toad-,
journ sine, die, without passing the Appro
priation bill, or any o:hcr bills then pending.
A caucus of the Republicans of the House
demonstrated the f.ict that if the Senate
resolution to adjourn came to the House it
would be promptly passed, and then let the
people lay the blame wheie it properly be
longed. This frightened the valiant Demo
cratic Senators, for many of them were pe
cuniarily interested in the Appropriation
bill, and they concluded to reconsider their
previous action. If the case is as stated,
that an adjournment would have saved the
State a million, we regret that ic did not
occur.
Immediately "after it was known that the
Democrats would have a majority in the
Senate, some of the more honest journals
urged in the most persistent manner that
that body should make itself conspicuous
for honesty and economy, as that would be
the most effective argument that could be
used in the next campaign to secure a ma
jority in each branch. The appeals of a few
papers were really piteous, so earnest were
they, but it was of no avail. There was no
species of extravagance into which the Sen
ate did not wildly plunge; its members vo
ted themselves $500 extra pay ; voted money
into districts for the purpose of making po
litical capital ; and indulged in every species
of rascality ever known to the most reckless
and corrupt body of law makers.
The Pittsburg Gazette says: The leading
Democratic paper of the country declares
that the Confederacy has been dead so long,
that the smell emitted from its "tomb," is
very offensive. By which it means, we sup
pose, that if it were only alive, its odor
would be fragrant. But as it is buried, its
"ashes" should be allowed "to rest in
peace." it is a breach of decorum to at
tempt to "exhume its carcass when tlecotn
position and rottenness have asserted their
empire. Such breaches of decorum," con
tinues our Densacratic cotemporary, "are
reserved for arrogant biawlers like Toombs,
and arrant egotists like Davis; men who
always cared much for themselves, and little
for any cause except as a ladder for their
ambition," which, we may add, are the
characteristics of Democrats generally.
What is the "Lost Cause," which Jef
ferson Davis affirms is nut lost, but only post
poned for a brief season? It ia the dismem
berment of the American Union and the
establishment on its ruins of a Southern
empire, with slavery resuscitated, of course
as the cornerstone! With the aid of the
Northern Democracy, this is what the dis
tinguished ex rebel expects to live to see
consummated. How do the Democrats
hereabouts relish the enteriaiuiuoot to which
they are invited ?
