The undersigned, Executor of William Christ, deo'd,- will offer at Public Sale. on the premises, on Fri day, the Pith day of October, 186.5. the following desirable Rear Estate, to wit A TRACT OF SLATE LAND, situated In Antrim township, lying between the St. TM-an as Road and the Road leading_to Nave's Saw Mill—about two and a-ball miles from 'Greencastle., two and n-half mile. from Stitzels Mill, :not two miles from Rankin's Mill, containing tel ACRES, Finny Acreof the coming political struggle in Pennsylvania are al ready made up. The importune* eta properset , Bement and deteraduation of these issues cannot be over estimated. The past history as well as the present position of our State entitle and will secure for her great weight in the settlenient of all questions of national policy. The representa tives of the political organization with which you are supposed to sympathize declared as follows: "The Union party of Pennsslvania, in State Con vention assembled, declare: That as representa tives of the loyal people of the Commonwealth we reverently desire to offer our gratitude to Almigh ty God, whose favor has vouchsafed victory c to the national arms, enabled us to eradicate the crime of slavery from our land, and to render treason against the republic impossible forevermore; and next to Him our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to our brave-souldiers and sailors, who, by their endurance, sacrifices, and illustrious he roism, have secured to their, country peace, and to the downtrodden everywhere an asylumn,of liber-' ty : who have shown that the war for the restora tion of the Union is not a failure, and whose valor has proven, for all time, the fact that this govern ment of the people, by the ,people, for the people,. is as invincible in its strength as it is beneficent in its opera I ion." In contrast with the doctrine here stated, the representatives of our political opponents, in con vention recently assembled, have also presented a platform of their principles. In substance and - effect they have declared that " war existed as a fact upon the advent of the successful party, in 'OA to the seat of power;" that " slaughter, debt, and disgrace are the results of our late civil war:" that -the assassins dirhur late President were murdered by military commissions, and no more murders of the kind - will be permitted, whether it be the Andersonville butcher, the im porter of loathsome diseases, or the great second Lucifer who now chafes and foams in his cell at - Fortress Monroe and who for so long a time has beeti Weir beau ideal of a stern statesman and a - ChriStian Gentleman. They add, in express terms, that " the men and the party administer ing the'rederal Government since 1861 hare be trayed their trust, violated their sacred obliga tions, disregarded the commands of the funda mental law, corruptly squandered the public mon ey, pervnted the whole government from its origi nal purpose, and thereby have brought on untold 'calamities upon the country." The measures of the Administration of Abraham Lincoln were submitted to his countrymen-at the election of ldt 1, for ratification or condemnation. It would seem as if a decent respect for the opinions of their fellow men might base prevented the folly and malignity of die so-called Democratic con. vention at Harrisbuits as exhibited in the adop tion of their platform. It is perfectly manifest that they have not accepted the results of the war, nor are they prepared to bow to its decrees. Again, fellow-citizens, they have forcedlmon you these issues. It will be for you to decide by your action in this campaign, whether the war just closed shall produce substantial results, or wheth all the blood and treasure of the nation have been ' expended and shed in vain. We intend to he merciful, but our mercy must be tempered with justice. We ask 'not, we wish not vengeance. But indiscriminate mercy to the enemy is danger and injustice to ourselves. - Whenever and (wherever our-late adversaries come in a true spirit of sorrow and repentance, sheathe the Avord, and promise to obey the law in the future, we will extend to them the right hand of fellowship and forgive them for`the past. Atter they shall have given us sufficient security for the future time,- by a satisfactory-probation, we will then—but not still then—restore them to the enjoyment of all the inestimable rights and high privileges which they so recently, so defi antly, mud' so eauselessly trampled - under their feet. For the defiant and unyielding rebel; for Min who keeps his sword - still drawn, reeking With the blood of our brothers; for him who re fuses to accept and submit, in good faith, to the results of the war; for all - those who glory in the part they took in the rebellion; who still insist that they were right and the nation wrong, we .have confiscation and loss of citizenship ; and if, in the end, nothing else will cure, we must have banishment or the halter. The money-spent, the lives lost, the cripples,- the widowsand orphans made such by the war; planned, commended and waged-by traitors. as well as the security, safety and.future peace of the nation, all require at least this much at 'our hoods. They shall receive all that justice and safety will perit us to grant. Our treatmentof them shall be moulded and shaped by their ac tions and conduct towards the nation. In all ea ses where they adopt, adhere to, and carry out, in good faith, the policy of reconstruction gener ously offered them byPresident Johnson, we will cordially welcome them as returning brothers in to the great family. But if they come with ha tted and hitternress, and only that they may the better restore themselves to power so as to so- "&.'nigitisse — oAryenia - ivegeacbisitiaiitrig age Pent, which they Cniesi to secure,by the hoz., -ardofbattlei-'jestme td ouraelffs; duty - fif tiler country ea to posteriff eetieire - that we ' Wall - keep therein a position toprevent harm. By the talor and of oar' bram &Mars; - and by the help vouchsafed by that Providence which has always Watched over and, protected-our na tion' we have peofed to the world that' the whole host of rebels - in the South,-with the,aid of all their foreign friends and Northern Symßathizerst have been unable to resist the powerof our coun try or anceessfuhrvie with her Atkuulei:t_aa thQ, field of battle. By the help of the same brave men, and with the blelaings of the same Provi dence, we do not meats that their John lefosebys ' and Wade Hamptons shall be permitted to rule the councils of the nation. Cur palitical adver saries were the • first le' deinand for the rebels belligerent rights 4 Our enemies:abroad united in the demand. To. save the lives of- our• prison ers, and from motives of humanity, we are obli ged to yield to the demand. Now that the war is over, these are the first men to demand that they shall be released from all the liabilities and res ponsibilities of belligerents: By the law of na tions it has been long and well settled that in eve. ry unjust war the victor may exact indemnity for the past and security for the future.' `So mdythe victor hold his adversary in the 'military ,grasp until he has ted the restit, -- and until ffeettri-. ty against f re danger shall have been ex acted and obtain ed . It is to be expected- that our political adversaries - will object. Yet who but they can object that the widow and orphmins of the land should be supported by the authors of -the calamities? Who bid they will-object - that the wounded soldier'who lost his ability to-sup port and maintain himself shall behiffed and sup. ported by the wickedness which brought the in jury upon him? Who but they will object 'that . the vast debt created by the work of treason shall be at least partly paid and discharged,by' the trot tors themselves 7 They a a nd till us the innocent in the South, th e • women and- children of the South will suffer. They forget that such is the result in all wars, and - never once think that the innocent and the,womea. and children of the North suffer from the war of treason. Yet these are the men who - arc hike striving to secure the votes of the soldiers °from sylvania. When volunteers were' eeded for the army, they,were opposed to volunteering. Draft• ing was the fair way—only Democrats woaldvol unteer—in the draft all-would have a fair - chance. When the draft came they were-violently-opposed to the three hundred dollars commutation elanse. That was - a discrimination against the po or man. The rich would all buy out, and only, the poor would go. When the commutation clause Wasre pealed, they became more clamorous, because the: only chance for the poor MUD was now takekaway; he must now go, while the rich man could get - a substitute. For a time it W3S a negro war, and no wh iteman should go. When negro troops were called for, they were aroused tothe highest state of indignation. "The South would never stand it: It is an evidence of our weakness. l lf you can't. conquer them With white, llooph yen. never can with negroes.'' Thus they continued during the whole four i years of the war. No sine gle measure of the Government ever received their approbation. No matter 'what course Might' be adopted.they were found in opposition. Are these the men to be now placed in power ? Are they to control thd ,Government of - this nation? The - late administration, so recently endorsed by ,a ma jority of four hundred thousand at the ballot box, is still by them denounced and abused. !They., clamor only for the rights of rebels. They forget that by the very act of war all who engaged-in it all the rights they ever. had under the Constitution which they were tryingto everthrew. The -very instant war commenced, -under the laws of war and the law of nations, all obli gations, contracts, treaties, and stipulations` *be tween the belligerents ! were at an end. Bhall the settlement of thereat questions growing, ont of this war be left in the hands of ;those by whom - the war was carried to a successful is sue, or shall it pass into the hands of those: who opposed it from the beginning ? It is for you to answer at the ballot-box. Upon you depends the result of the issue, and for you it will be los say whether the war has been a failure—whether it existed as a fact, because in 1860 you- ilited as - freenien had.a right to vote—or whether it-was commenced by wicked, ambitions, and dengnieg . men, without cause. It will be for yon,tozsar whether the fruits of the war are only debt, dis grace and slaughter, or whether they shill to the glory, renown, greatness and power of our common eountry. 4 EMI From the narrislmrg Telegraph PENNSYLVANIA. Wlien the war of the rebellion was precipitated: the then autheritiesat Wahington,calculatbil that sixty thousan'd-ruen and three months would 1:e sufficient forCe and time 10 crush the plot of trea-. son. It is not necessary now to refer to the Ina' that this calculation of a force of necessity.to rest rebellion was wofully wrotig, and that,instead of requiring three months, four "years, four terri ble, weary, bloody, and self-sacrificing years were Consumed in the struggle to restore the Union to peace. But it is a curious fact that one of the States of the Union has furnished almost flv ' efiniCS as many men to aid in crushing rebellion, as Wita at first demanded of all the States, to accoipplish that result. - On inquiry in the office of the Adjutant General,' A. L. Russell, for information relative to the MI number of men furnished by the State of .kenit sYlvania, as recruits for the armies of the Repoli! lic, we were placed-in possession of the following letter: WAR DEPARTMENT, PRO. MAIL Gat 's OFFICE, ic Washington, D. C., Sept. 2;1865. Ifio Eraling!, A. G. Curtin, Governor of arnsylnania: Six : I bare the honor to inform you that' the number of melt furnished- by the State of Pennsylvania from Kpri.l. 11, IE6I, to April 20, 18135. is three hundred and .ixty-one thousand nine hundred and thirty.nine (361 P 39.) without reference to periods of service, which varied from three, months to 'three years.. Please acknowledge the receipt. I have the honor to li e, air, very reaper ully, your olio , dient servant, JAMES B. Fitt, Pit . 3far. Gin. The number of men Credited to Pennsylvania, in the foregoing official account tallies so closely with the records that we are willing to accent it • RS correct. But there are other official records besides those kept at Washington of men furnish ed by Pennsylvania, to aid in crushing the "•teliel lion. which greatly swell the aggregate r forA we _ sent into the fields. These records show,. Bit for State defence and in response to the deinands of sudden emergencies, Pennsylvania pat into' the field at various times a force of between 80., 000 and 90,000 med. On several occasions we had a cordon of bayonets -.stretched along southern border of the State. Then again,. the number of men who were induced to leave the State for enlistment in other States, was very large:, The burder counties of New York 4 -elong the entire border line, wen: paying 'heavy boun ties before the counties in this State along the same line, - offered , pecuniary inducements for en listments. Tke same inducements were offered to citizens of Pennsylvania by other border States. An entire regiment was raised in, the western counties of Pennsylvania for Westeni - Virginia. In New Jersey, - fora time enlistments were largely discouraged by the copperhead leaders, so that loyal men in districts in that State, anxious to fill up their quotas, were com pelled to find substitutes through the influence of heavy bounties offered to the people of Penpsyl vania. Nor was it only the States immediately on our border that filled their quotas from urucmg our citizens. States on the Pacific coast did the same; in proof of which we need only to refer to the fact that a full reg iment was recruited in the city of Philadelphia, for the State Of California a regiment afterwards commanded by one.of tae California United States Senators. Carefully es timating the men thus raised and enlisted fn vari dos localities, we put down the aggregetenuiti her of troops thus furnished by Pennsylvania at,_ 23,000., - -.lndeed so great was this drain On our military resources that the Ltgislature'passed a fail sternly forbidding the enlistment of men with. in the borders of the State - for service in the or, ganizations_of other States, and districts einphati cally declared that the families=of those thus leaving the Commonwealth, should not receive' the benefits of the relief offered tothe families of soldiers in Pennsylvania organizations. NOr must we forget the large number of colored trope that were enlisted in Pennsylvania for other states. At least 2,500 colored troops went into servicein other States; who were taken out of Pennsylva nia. Taking these figures as fair estimate, we, have the following: Rezitulettiotr of Troops TartuAcct by the State of Penn: ratan, to Aid i n flawing the National.
