We run to our mast head to-day, the ticket placed in nomination, by the county convention on Monday last. That it will - give general satisfaction, to the Democracy and the people of the county every body be lieves. Since 'vre have taken part in politics we have never known a convention to pass off a3 harmoniously as did the one that pla ced in nomination the ticket wo present to day, nor have we ever seen unlucky candi dates for the different positions, more deter mined to do all in their power to Eecure an overwhelming majority, for their successful competitors. To say that the ticket is the lest tha"CouId be formed, would bo casting a slur upon the many good men whose names were used in the convention but were not chosen as candidates ; but when we say that on the whole, a better or if stronger ticket could not have been made, we are not saying a word too much. Every man upon it is ca pable, honest, strait forward and deserving faithful democrats and honest, honorable citizens. They cannot fail to fill the differ ent positions for which they have been chos en, with credit to themselves, their country and the party that supports them. . .We do not intend, as has heretofore been customary, to enter into the special lauda tion of each candidate. What can be Baid of one can be said of all, and the peculiar fit ness of each one for the positien to which ho has been chosen, is admitted, by every one, even by the bitterest enemies our party has. Not only as candidates, are they qualified to fill the various offices for which they have been selected, but as citizens, they are with out a stain upon their characters, or a blot upon their political records as Democrats. To them, we point with pride as the stan dard bearers of our grand old party, in the campaign which has now opened. They are the representatives of a party whoso aim is to advance tbo interest of the white man, whose care is to protect the rights of the white man, and whose great object is to pre serve this, a government of white men. .Around them will rally every voter in the county who believes he was born superior to the ignorant and degraded African. Around them will rally every voter who fa vors low taxes, economy in public expendi tures, honest officials, and competent men to fill public places. . And now that the Democracy have a ticket in the field a ticket that is in every respect worthy their confidence and support let them go to work. They must not rely upon the popularity of individual candidates, nor be satisfied with half an effort, because our opponents are weak, or the certainty of suc cess beyond a doubt. We have more to do in this county than simply elect our county ticket, we have to aid in the election of an honest Governor, and a Congressman who will do something for white men, whose interests are at stake, and whose time will not all be spent in legislating for niggers, contractors, and public plunder. If the Democracy of this county but do their duty we honestly believe they can roll up a majority of eighteen hundred for Uiestxb, Cltmeb, the white man's candidate, and for the whole ticket from Congressman down. Shall it be done ? Or shall we be content with the mea ger majority of fourteen hundred? It is for you, Democrats, to say. Never was there such an opportunity for striking a death . blow to abolitionism in this Bection of the State. Never were the prospeeta as bright for an overwheliaingvictoiy. Shall we have it to rejoice over T Work and tcork only will . secure it ?. ' ' ; Montour County. The Democracy of Montour County met in Convention on the 20th Inst, and put in nomination the following ticket : Senator William A. Dean, Assembly Thomas Chalfan.

William lvell. This distiagaLshed individual needa ttO eulogy from us, but, as we are now expected to advocate the claims of the people of this county for men whom they desire shall rep resent them in the councils of the nation, the Hon. William Elwili. highly deserves a place in the group. That he is the unan imous choice of the people of this Congres sional District for Congress, there is no longer a shadow of a doubt. And it is equally evi dent' that he is the most worthy) "popular, and influential man in the District, and will accept the nomination. lie is'distinguished for his legal acquirements and acumen, and for his broad and comprehensive mind as a judge, jurist and statesman. Unfortunately for this Republic, selfish ambition has had too much to do with the selection of men to fill positions which require statesmen ; and too often there is not sufficient regard for that truthfulness and consideration for the welfare of others, which should animate the servants of the State. That these elements of character are combined, in the subject of ojjr notice, is a fixed fact with all who know him. Not a mere pettifogger, who quibbles and quarrels, but with his broad and com prehensive intellect he is enabled, with a moment's notice, to grasp public questions, and to suggest such measures as may be necessary for the improvement of the people and the development of the country. Therefore, we say, that in the person of the Hon. 'William Elwell, we have all the requirements necessary to draw, hastily and correctly, nice distinctions, to come to correct conclusions, and to see that justice is done by nations and by individuals. We say, again, that he has the intellectual power to grasp, at a single glance of the mind, the truth in relation to a subject, to comprehend the interior essence of things, and, therefore, he will make the best statesman. With his unsupassed popularity, and influence, wher ever known, which is necessary to secure his, or any other man's election in this District, we say, let him be nominated without dispute. We Stoop to Conquer. The brigadier of the Columbian, who, from the first has been making personal as saults upon the junior editor of the Demo crat and Star, has at last gotmad and like a whipped school-boy, when a trifle of his coin is returned to him, came out in last week's Columbian, with nearly two columns of stuff, consisting of low criticisms, trans parent falsehoods, personal abuse, baby act pleading and child-like calling of names, em inently characteristic of the sheet in its pov erty of intellect and sense, but a species of journalism which the junior editor of the Democrat and Star docs not propose to imitate. From the beginning, the Colum bian, has maintained this sort of warfare and personal abuse upon the junior editor of this paper, with all the malignity and vigor the trifling ability connected with the concern could afford, and with a littleness seldom seen in any paper, it attempts to show its wit by fibbing and blubbering about a few typographical errors which unobserved ap peared in our paper, and which could have been corrected a thousand times did we not give more original matter in our paper than the Columbian contains. With some regard for his feelings, and pity for his want of sense, we again admonish him that it requires a larger capital stock of "brains, than he pos sesses to become a wit, and that the profes sion of blackguardism which he seems to have adopted is frequently attended with such cuffs and kicks as will not only set him howling but will prove his utter ruin. The denunciation of the Democrat and Star, and the junior editor, by the Columbian, are fully appreciated by us, by our readers, and by the public. That paper does not, and cannot wgue a question or discuss a princi ple ; and, it is therefore much easier and more in conformity with the intellectual capacity of that concern to denounce us and our pa per, then to disprove its statements or refute its arguments ; but we take no pleasure in exposing the Columbian t stupidity or reply ing to its silly squibs. State Senator. On last Monday the Democratic Conven tion of this county, nominated the Hon. Levi L. Tate, for State Senator, with a resolution, directing the Conferees to use all honorable means to secure his nomination, by the District Conference. It is certain that CoL Tate, was deserving this honor. Hav ing served the Democratic Party earnestly, as an editor and public speaker, for a period of over thirty years, it was only a spontane ous tribute of the people to his honesty, ca pacity and fidelity. He is very favorably known, not only in the District, but through out the State served faithfully in our State Legislature, as a Democratic champion of liberty, when it was considered treason by our political opponents who were then in power, to be a Democrat he is very popular among the people on account of his high so cial standing, and for having aided the De mocracy largely with both pen and voice in every political contest since 1836. The De mocracy of this District can do no greater credit to themselves than to confirm the nomination of Mr. Tate, and we feel sure that he will receive such a vote as his labors deserve. Exemptions. We see by our exchanges that the amended Revenue Law makes some important exemption. Although we have seen no official announcement of the fact, it is stated that all printed, matter is exempt, such as papers, books,' pamphlets, cards, charts, bill-heads and job printingof allkinds. Also thatthe tax of 40 cents perhead imposed on beef cattle slaughtered by butchers and packers, has been removed, as well as the tax on repairs and all agricultural implements, including reapers, mowers, plows, harrows, cultivators, straw-cutters. Straws, &c. A vote was taken on the Lehigh Valley Railroad,. August 4th, by Captain II. O. Thayer, of Wayne County, which resulted as follows: Clymer.. ...... ....... .......................... 55 Geary. 14 A number of well known Bpubhcans on board the train voted for Clymer. The gal lant Captain Thayer, a three year soldier, voted for Clymer. Straws show that the people are opposed to Geary and negro suffrage. Conferee's Meeting1. Convened at the Forks Hotel, in Blooms burg, August 28th, 1866, at 1 o'clock, P. M. On motion, Mr. JOHN SNYDElt, was declared President, and J. II. Campbell, Esq.. Secretary. Adjourned for 15 minutes. Conferees met, pursuant to adjournment. On motion of Mr. Fruit. Thomas Chal fant, was duly nominated as candidate for Assembly, of the district composed of the counties of Montour and Columbia. On motion, adjourned, sine dir. JOHN SNYDER, Prcs't. JosErnll. Campbell, See. Soldiers' National Convention. The call for a Soldiers' National Conven tion to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, appear ed in most of our exchanges. It is to be composed of those who served in the Army and Navy of the United States during the war, and who support the Union policy of the President The seventeenth of Septem ber is appropriately appointed as the day on which the Convention shall assemble, that being the anniversary of the adoption of the Federal Constitution. We have no doubt the Radicals would like to apply to those whose names are attached to this call the epithets which their unscru pulous maKce has applied to all other true friends of the Constitution and the Union. But they will hardly venture to make them selves so ridiculous. The names attached to the call are such as must command at least the respect of the Radicals. The men who here speak for the supremacy of the Con stitution and the restoration of the Union are no "pipe-clay soldiers" or "home guards." They are nearly all of them officers who won high distinction on the battle-field : and big oted as radicalism is, there cannot be one of its advocates so blinded by passion as not to feel that if he should ascribe to the signers of this call the sentiments which have been designedly ascribed to other opponents by the Radical press, like Dogberry, he would "write himself down an ass." The large number of Generals and other officers of high rank who have united in this call have performed a duty to themselves as well as to their country. It was, as they doubtless felt, a duty they owe to their coun try to unite in the movement to restore the Constitution to its former supremacy, and they owed it to themselves to take the ac tion they have in order to let the country understand that they have nothing in com mon with the malign spirit or disunion her esies which form the Radical creed. The call shows that they understand the ob ject of the misrepresentation and clamor in which the enemies of restoration indulge, and are not to be diverted from their sup port of the restoration policy by the sophis tries or calumnies of the Radical di.sunioni.--ts. The work goes bravely on, and the indica tions are that at the coining elections the men who have arrayed themselves against the Union and sought and still seek to de stroy the Constitution will be hurled from power by the people. BS? In a congratulatory letter addressed to the Democratic State Central Committee of Kentucky, Mr. Vallandigham says: " Allow me to renew by mail the congrat ulations this day transmitted by telegraph upon the glorious victory achieved by the Democracy of Kentucky yesterday. It was the triumph of principle and courage. You did not fear to re-establish and maintain the Democratic party in all its integrity as an organization, and to proclaim the old and sound Constitutional Union and State ltisrhts faith of the fathers of that party. You were not afraid to invite to your aid men of the . Democratic party at home, and from abroad, who were odious to tyrants and the apologists or minions of tyrants, only be cause they had first made tyranny odious itself. Truly and overwhelmingly, therefore, the reaction begins to sat ia. The "Great Hereafter" at last is at hand. But 'twas not, as your foes asserted, a question of the blue jacket against the grev, but of the grey and the blue combined in holy fellowship, to do battle and to win victory aeain.t the black jacket of Puritan selfishness and fanaticism. lis the dawn of that bright and better day when the Constitution shall bo maintained, the Union restored, and Constitutional lib erty, jiersonal and political, made secure, through the arts of peace, conciliation and statesmanship." "Cominooutop ttie Foul Partt." The Huntingdon Glole, heretofore a strong Republican paper has taken down the name of Geary. It speaks as follows : " Before, and at the time Gen. Geary was nominated, and since then, and up to the is sue made by the Harrisburg Telegraph, that ''the larger Geary1 major'ty, the sterner will be the rebuke administered to Andrew John son,' we were his friend, but we could not feel certain at any time that his election was sure, because one fact pressed upon us, that the Radicals would use and abuse him. And now that we have taken our position with tho National Union J 'arty we cannot expect him as the nominee of the Union Republi can party to stand upon our platform of principles, we take his name down from our mast-head, and will have the place vacant until a candidate is nominated who will en dorse the platform of our party. We could support Geary asoldier, asa man, as a friend, but we cannot support him as the candidate of the Radical Republican party. No friend of Andrew Johnson can vote for General Geary. No sensible man, a true friend of Johnson's policy can restore this Union, can vote for Geary and by so doing aid the Radi cals in passing an insulting judgment upon Andrew Johnson. Other men can. and will do as they please, but as for ourself we shall act consistent with our professions." Tiie Extra Bounty:. There appears to be great trouble at Washington about the extra bounty recently voted to the soldiers by Congress. The Paymaster General reports thatne receives fifteen hundred applications for this bounty per day, but is unable to do anything more than to file them away for future reference, as there are not any funds in the Treasury not already appropriated, and the Special Commission having the sub ject of the payment of the extra bounty un der consideration, have not yet reported. It is the opinion in the Paymaster General's Department that these claims cannnot be adjusted for some months vet, and, in fact, no form of application has oeen devised bv the Department This being the case sol diers can gain nothing by haste, but when the exact operation of the law is ascertained t Commission having the matter in charge, and announced to the public, as it no doubt will be, they can act more intelli gently than now upon the subject ESS- Let it be remembered by tho people thai, the leader ef the Geary party in this State is Thaddeus Stevens, who lives with a negro woman, and who is opposed to the Union and the Constitution. Will any of the Geary organs deny it I Extract of a Letter from John 5 Forsyth. ' Frrrn Avenue Hotel, Aug.' 21,1806. To the Editor f the New York News. When the great J ulius in the Senate house beheld a friend's dagger gleaming among the conspirators he felt a poignancy in its wound surpassing those of all the eleven, and the deathless and pathetic reproach burst from his lips et tu, Brute f And now it has come to pass in these lato days that the News, which has adhered so unflinchingly to the lafe Southern cause, defying danger and, more heroic, breasting a storm of Sublio opinion turns upon the Southern elegates to tho Philadelphia Convention, with words of reproach, almost amounting to scorn, of their trickling subserviency. As a Southern man, as well as a delegate, I feel impelled to take my pen to vindicate my colleagues and the people they represen ted against a charge so unjust and unfound ed. That in a body so large there should be found individuals amenable to your reproach would not be strange. But one swallow does not make a summer, and it is not fair to con demn in the aggregate for the sins of units. If there were Southern members in that convention who so far forgot the dignity of the suffering and misfortune which they rep resented as to betray their high trust, and to drag down the pride of reticence and en durance to the level of humiliation, and you choose to single them out for odious notori ety and "bad eminence," it is not I who would object Let slip your dogs and lay on the lash to your heart's content. But I insist that I and the body of my colleagues shall be excepted both from the crime and the punishment. Reflect on our position in that convention. We were strange, though politely-bidden guests in that grand council. Wecanie there with no country, no flag, for we are not permitted by Radicalism to have either. The Government is only allowed to recognize us when the tax-gatherer comes along, or our enemies require the form .and farce or our State action to fix a constitu tional amendment to the prejudice of our rights and interests. The inspiration of the national music, the rustle of the national flag vsosure to flutter and thrill the breasts of true men who can call it their own none of these arc for us ; for we have no vote or voice in the Govcrnmentwhose power is emblemed by the flag, and whoso glorious memories are breathed in the national airs. Reticence and dignity were the role for men so situated. Not to make noi.-y com plaints and frothy speeches, or to wrangle about platforms ; but simply to say, as the Narragansctt chief when summoned before the British Colonial Council : "You have sent for me, and I have come !" It is most true that wo have received with cordial greeting by the patriotic gentlemen who were our political hosts. They listened to us withdeepintcrestand respect. Old Dem ocrats met us often with moist eyes and tremb ling grasps of the hand. But at last we were voiceless and powerless in the struggle that was to determine the destinies of the country the battle ground and the combatants were all in the North, and all the dispositions for the contest were necessarily to bo conform ed to that fact. It is not neccessary to say that, as a simple declaration of feelings, wishes and principles, the platform and ad dress would have been different, had they been left exclusively to our writing, so had the West penned them, the East would have found something to change, and vice versa but constructed as they were for the wholy on that ba.is of compromise which must ever be a vital clement of union between States so remote geographically and so di verse in pursuits and interests, it is difficult to see how either resolutions oraddress could have been better. Happily, the convention escaped, through the magnanimity of sever al delegates, the greatest danger to its integ rity and harmony. The withdrawal of Messrs. Yallandingham and AVood assured the suc cess of the convention in this respect I take the occasion to deny, with empha sis, the statement in this morning's Herald, that Mr. Vallandingham was notified by the Southern delegations that if he did not qui etly withdraw they would vote him out. It is impossible to conceive a more odious and damaging imputation upon Southern delega tions than this. What ! turn upon a man who hail suffered imprisonment, persecution and exile for sympathizing with our suffer ings and trials 1 If there was one wretch so heartless from the South, I am happy to say I did not and never wish to know him. My own views and sense of duty were very clear, and I believe they .were those of every South ern gentleman in the convention. It was, that we could not, in personal honor or con science of our constituent, vote to unseat a gentleman whose ri.srht to a seat was patent ed to him by the gallant Democracy of'Ohio, was as good as our own, and whose only disa bility was that he was our 'friend in trouble. Under the call for the convention he had a clear right, for its theory was amnesty for the past and fidelity to a common patriotic object in the future. It was upon this the ory that we of the South were there, and it was foreign to the objects and fatal to the effects expected to be produced, to begin the work ofpeace and harmony by persecuting and punishing for past political differences. I would not, and could not have remained an instant in that convention if any Northern delegate like Messrs. Yallandingham or Wood properly accredited, had been unseated by vote. It was not the bonnuet to which we were invited, and we should have gone home with the reflection that the North is not yet ready for peace and restoration. But hap pily and nobly on their part, these gentlemen saw the rock and removed it out of the path of harmonious action. Tlie convention le came a great success, and Northern gentle nian tell me it is doing great good and work ing well for the cause of reunion. JCgyA radical journal thus speaks of Gen. Dix : "He is a miserable demagogue, who can only five in the shadow of greater and worse men. He is nothing in himself. A die is as good as the truth for him to t-tand on." It would be interesting to contrast such language as this with the panegyrics be stowed by the whole Republican press upon General Dix during the past five years. They eulogized him as the greatest states man and purest patriot in the county, but because he won't follow them in their dis unionism they forget even decency in their tirades against him. JCSf The New York Herald ridicules the attempts of the radical leaders to blarney adopted citizens, by going to their meetings and pretending great friendship for them. The Herald says : " These old Know Nothings and Puritan ical fanatics think they can come " the rich Irish brogue" over our Irish fellow-citizens. The idea of these negro-worshipping politi cians of the Puritan New England school pretending to have any lovo for Irishmen is ruprcmcly farcical. This only shows to what humbug and deception the Jacobin faction will resort in their desperate efforts to save their party JB3T It is reported from New York that the Fenians are contemplating another raid against Canada, and are collecting munition of war for this purpose; and also that appli cations has been made to theSecretary of War to use his good offices to prevent any inter ference with the raid oo tho part of the Government. mnty Convention. large out-pourino op the rEbrLE.

We take occasion to again call the atten tion of our friends to the necessity of prompt and decisive action in organizing our forces for the coming fight The Fall elections for members of Congress are most important, and we must make every effort to carry in these elections as many members of Con gress as possible. The States of California, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,, Kanas, Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylva nia, and New York elect their Congressional delegates this Fall. Out of the total number to be elected there can be forty-five or fifty gained by tho Democracy if v.r, go to work in earnest and properly organize. We must not hazard the great, the incalculable benefit to be derived from this accession of strength to the supporters of President Johnson, by supineness or want of energy. N e all know the value of energetic organ ization, of prompt and decisive movements. We therefore earnestly urge upon our friends all through the country to advance at once to the work to be firm and active as passible, and to have meetings in every State, every county, every township and voting precinct iu the United States; and establish a work ing and energetic organization which will carry every Conservative votr into the ranks of the supporters of President Johnson. We urge the immediate attention of our friends to this matter, and counsel them to delay not a minute in the good work. 37 The tricks to which tho intriiuors of .m m - the Columbian resort are unworthj' of any honest man. They have inaugurated through its columns a system of the vilest and meanest falsehoods, and most shameless misrepresentations of our course, for the very purpose of effecting a split in the Dem ocratic party of this county. It is the very thing they de.-irc and we told our Democrat friends this long ago. It is the only thing that will give them political power and a chance for future success. Union and har mony among the Democrats of this county is death to the Columbian, and its .advisers know it. Hence their struggle for a divi sion in our ranks their false coloring and their abuse of the Democrat and Star. We bclievs that the Democratic party un derstand themselves better than this Colum bian can teach them, and they see that it is a petty, dishonorable and unbecoming sheet, deserving only of their condemnation, und beneath their dignity and manhood. tfiT It will be remembered that the Re publican party, when it nominated Geary, made the action of Congress its platform. They endorsed all it had done as broadly as they repudiated and denounced President Johnson. Congress, then, is Geary's plat- torm. lie must stand by all the RadicaL- have done, and dare not repudiate a single one of their corrupt or revolutionary acts. Let this fact be remembered by the people The acts and the opinions of Congress con stitute his platform. Keep that before the people. MARRIED.
