How Will You Vote?
All tte candidates of cither party na
tional, district aud county, having been
nominated, and therefore now fully in the
field, we deem it eminently just and prop
er to take into consideration their relative
merits and qualification.", and to attempt
to demonstrate who ought and who ought
not to receive the support of the people.
This political campaign, by a sort of tacit
agreement, has heretofore in a great meas
ure been ignored and lost sight of in the
tremendous struggle fur uuioa and civil
liberty now convulsing the country. Up
to the present moment; or at least until
quite recently, public attention has cen
tered upon General Grant and his brave
companions ia arms, to the almost total
neglect of ail minor issues. Remember
ing the great and awful interests at stake,
affecting the welfare of every one who
calls himself an American, who will say
it was not right to thus sink politics- in
war and war matters ? But a period ever
comes when politics, and the selection of
officers to administer the civil govern
ment in all is details, will assert its im
portance, and fill the mind to the crowding
out for the time of all other questions of
moment. By th very nature ct'our in
stitutions, such' a state of things must be.
That period is here. V Only one short
month remains to us before the October
.election, wheu the people must and will
vote, and when they ought to vote v.n
ilcrstandiiigty:. The campaign ' will be
ehort let it be sharp and decisive!
. With regard to our National standard
bearers, who will not be voted for till
November, we will be brief. The politi
cal, career of Aesaiiam Lincoln is
known of all men." He it was, who, .con
stitutionally and fairly elected, oa .the
4th of March, 1361, assumed the reins of
government,' to find his authority repudi
ated and set at nought by the' inhabitants
of a section comprising two-thirds of the
Union. . ..The trust delegated to him by
the 'majority has been so faithfully exer
cised that at the end of his term 'of ofnee
of four years' we find the rebellion rolled
back upon itself until it is able to boast of
ecarcely a habitation or name! . Mr.- Lin
coln may have committed mistakes.' We
do not claim for him that he is infallible.
But where is the man burdened with his
varied aud important .responsibilities who
eould have made fewer mistakes, or been
more willing to" rectify the same when
brought under his observation? 3Ir.
Lincoln's platform for f the future, as ia
the past, means simply a vigorous and un
ceasing prosecution of the. war to the end
of the restoration of the Union of our
fathers. The; Chicago -platform means
peace at any pi-ice peace at the expense
of our national hoaor peace even oa the
ruins of a broken and dismembered repub
lic. Cheose re between !
Not' to know Andrew Jonxso.v, our
candidate for Vice President, as a most
consistent aud thorough-going Union man,
were to acknowledge inexcusable igno
rance of national faiis In the Uni
ted States Senate, ia 1SS1, he combatted
the idea of secession with all the might of
his giant intellect, and he has fought
treason, In whatever form, ever since.
One sentence of his great speech in reply
to Jeff. Davis and his fellow-conspirators,
delivered-in the Senate March 3, 1861,
marks the man, and should bo the rally-
ins cry of all who lovo the right ani hate
he
wrong
1I would have all traitors
arrested and tried for treason, and, con
victed, by the Eternal God they should suf
fer the penalty of the law at the 7iands oj
the executioner." These be brave,- true
words, Worthy a "Washington or an An
drew Jackson. Georgo II. Pendleton,
the opposition nominee for the office, on
the contrary, says "Traitors should not
be punished, nor treason rebuked ; the
South had a right to secede, and ought to
be allowed to co in neace. Let's consent
M A,
to the dissolution of the Union." He is
no Democrat, no more than is Vallandig
ham or George W. "Woodward, for true
Democracy has constantly the interests of
the country at heart, whereas he aspires
and conspires only for its downfall ana
destruction. All true Democrats. are pa
triots he is a tory, a traitor, a copper
head.. ,
The election of the right sort of man
to Congress is of the utmost importance.
It is Congress that declares war, and de
vises ways and means to prosecute it suc
cessfully, and it is to Congress that will
be committed, at the end of the 'war, the
final adjustment c all questions growing
out of the war, such as the condition of
the rebellious States brought back into
the Union, the disposition of the war debt,
and the future status of slavery. In case
"of Mr. Lincoln's re-election which is
sure a3 anything earthly can be sure,
we must have a Congress composed of his
political friends, otherwise our victory
were a barren one indeed.- "Without a
Union Congress, the President will be
bound hand and foot, snd able to do com
paratively nothing. For with a Copper
head majority in that body, would not
their very first step be to refuse to vote
either mea or money to our armies in the
field, and so let the war go by default ?
Undoubtedly. But admitting for the
nonce that they would continue the pros
ecution of the war, what then ? Vv'hy, at
the end, which must come, sooner or la
ter, they would hasten to vote the rebels
into the Union again, not only unpun
ished for their treason, but rewarded by
Deing placed on an equal footing with
patriots and hocest men, their war debt
saddled upon the nation at large," and new
aud humiliating concessions to slavery
entered into. Think of this, reader, and
then say can you vote for a copperhead
for Congress 1 '
Evan Roberts is our candidate for
Assembly. He is widely known through
out the county, and known only to be re
spected and esteemed. The man docs not
live who can say aught against his private
character. - Possessing abilities of the
highest order, the law-making power can
safely be entrusted to his hands, while his
thorough acquaintance with the wants and
interests of our people will enable him to
represent them as they ought to. be rep
resented. ; t "
The office of Sheriff is one of high im
portance to the people of the county. Our
candidate for it. is '. Francis M. Flana
gan, a young mab who served with dis
tinguished gallantry throughout the nine
months' campaign Second Lieutenant
and afterwards Captain of an Ebensburg
company. He is well qualified for the
post, and if the maxim that "Republics are
ungrateful" be not too true, he will be
triumphantly elected to it.
Abraham Good, our candidate for
Commissioner, is a practical farmer a
man of the people, and or the people,
lis possesses most excellent business qual
ifications, and; is honest and competent.
A , better could not be selected to keep
watch and "ward over the interests of ths
county. '
- George Settlemoyer, our candidate
for Poor lloose Director, is also a farmer,
and a mo3t excellent man. Elect him,
and our word for it, if he can "prevent, no
cause of complaint will hereafter be found
respecting the treatment of the unfortu
nate paupers at the Poor House. .
. For Auditor, we have Tiiomas IIol
LEN, well and favorably known to our
readers, nis qualifications for the office
cannot be gaiusayed, and his integrity of
purpose is above suspicion. . .
rAgainst the opposing candidates for
county offices, Messrs. Pershing, Myers,
Dunnegan, Orris, and Kennedy, as men,
we have nothing to Fay. As politicians,
however, we denounce them. Their names
are indissolubly linked with those of M'
Clellau and Pendleton, and they stand
upon the Chicago Platform; Elect these,
and you say in so many words that you
rcpuuiato the war for the restoration and
perpetuation of that good old Union under
which to have lived .and prospered so
long j defeat them, and you place on rec
ord your invincible determination to smite
hip and thigh, him who dares utter the
hateful words "secession" and "dissolution."
It has come io this, that every man
must-range himself on the eide of hii
country, or on the side of its enemies.
There can be no equivocation. This po
litical contest, however fought, resolves
itself into the plain issue of Union versus
Disunion. If the; opposition triumph,
they will herald the result as an indication
that the people want "peace" or a'f'cessa
tion of hostilities." either of which, undr
existing circumstances, means nothing
more nor nothing less than the recognition
of Southern independence. If ice tri
umph, then we may be sure the war will
go on until the purpose for which it was
begun has been fully accomplished.
Fellow citizens ! since right is right and
God is God, this rebellion must go downt
Surely, surely-, there is nolittribute of the
Deity which can take sides with a cause
Fteeped in the tears, and cries, and curses
of millions of human" beings groaning in
unmerited btmdage ; .The rebellion must
and will fall, and great ,will be the fall
thereof. Never let us despair of the final
result, but on each successive disaster to
our arms, rather let U3 take heart anew,
and swear by our hopes of high heaven
that we will never, never, never consent
to the dismemberment of the Republic.
Especially at the present moment, when
the' skic-3 to us are bright and full of
promise, with Mobile at our mercy, At
lanta taken, Hood broken and discomfited,
Lee cooped up in Petersburg, and Early
and other subordinate rebel chieftains
checkmated and confused, and with our
armies closing with resistless force around
what is left of the doomed Confederacy,
let us not be case down. Only have faith,
and patience, and determination, and all
will be well.

Gen, M'ClclIan' JLetter of Ac-
- , ceptnnce.-. -
OaAjsoB, New-JersejSept. 8, 1864.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter, in
forming me " of t my " nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, recently
held at Chicago, as their candidate at the
ne"x't election for President of-the United
States. It is unnecessary for meto say
to you that this nominaton comes to me
unsought. I am happy to know that
when the nomination was made, the record
of my public, life was kept in view. The
effect of long and varied' service in, the
army, during war and peace, has been to
strengthen ad make indelible in my mind
and heart, the love and reverence for thS
Unionjr Constitution, Laws, and 'Flag of
o'urcounfry7impressed tipon' me'ln' oaxly;
youth.' v These' feelings : have thus far
guided the course of my-lite, and' must
continue to do so to its end..' The exist-
rence of more than one' ijovernment over
the region which once owned our 'flag is
incompatible with the peace, the power,
and the happiness of the people.-- The
preservation of our Union was the sole
avowed object for which the war was com
menced. It should have been conducted
for that object only, and in accordance
with those principles which I took occa
sion to declare when in active serviced -Thus
conducted, the work of reconciliation
would have been ea?y, and we might have
reaped the benefits of our many victories
on land and sea. ; The Union was origin
ally formed by the exercise of a spirit of
conciliation and compromise, lo restore
and preserve it, the same spirit must prevail-in
our councils and in the hearts of
the people. . The re-establishment of the
Union in all its integrity, is, and must
continue to be, the indispensable condi
tion in any settlement. So soon as it is
cleaf and even probable, that our present
adversaries arc ready for peace, upon the
basis of the Union, we should exhaust all
the resources of statesmanship practiced
by civilized nitious, and taught to the
traditions of the American people, consis
tent with the honor and interests of the
country, to secure feuch peace, re-establish
the Union, and guarantee for the future
the constitutional rights of every State.
The Union is the one condition of peace
we arsk no more. . -
Let me add. what I doubt not was, al
though unexpressed, the sentiment of the
Contention, as it is of the people they
represent, that when anj one State is wil
ling to return to the Union, it should be
received at once, with a full guarantee of
all its constitutional rights. If a frank,
earnest and persistent effort to obtain thde
objects should fail, the responsibility for
ulterior consequences will tall upon those
who remain iu arms against the Union.
But the Union must be preserved at all
hazards. I could not look in the face of
my gallant comrades of the army and navy,
who have survived so many bloody battles,
and -tell them that their labors and - the
sacrifice. of so many of out .slain - and
wounded brethren had been in vainj that
we had abandoned that Union for which
we have so often perilled our lives. A
vast majority ol our people, whether in the
army and navy or at home, .would, as I
would, hail witn unbounded joy the per
manent restoration of peace, on the. basis
of the Union under the Constitution, with
out the effusion of another drop of blood.
But no peaee.can be permanent. without
union. ' ' -
A9' to the other subjects presented in
the resolutions of the Convention, I need
only say that I should seekrio the Consti
tution of the United Statej, and the laws
framed in accordance therewith, the; rule
of my duty, and the limitations of Execu
tive' power j endeavor to restore economy
in public expenditure, re establish the but
premacy of law, and by the operation of a
more rigorous .'nationality, .resume : our
commanding position among the nations
of the: earth. The condition of our fi
nances, the - depreciation of the paper
money, and the burdens thereby imposed
on labor and capital, upon the necessity
of a return to a sound financial system j
while the rights of citizens and the rights
of States, and the binding authority of law
over President, Army and People,' are
subject3 of not less rival importance iu
war than in peace. Believing that the
views here expressed are those of the Con
vention and the people you represent, I
accept the nomination. I realize the
weight of the responsibility to be borne,
should the people ratify your choice.
Concious of my own weakuess, I can
only seek fervently the guidance, of the
Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on
His all-powerful aid, do my best to restore
union and peace to a suffering people, and
to establish and guard their liberties and

I am, Gentlemen, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, ?

Keep it before the people, that Mr.
Benjamin, Jeff. Davis' Secretary of State,
has issued a circular, in which it is dis
tinctly and officially declared that 'the
South will listen to no terms of peace not
predicated on .separation. .This has been
asserted before, but not officially ; but now
we have it set forth in a State document,
that separation,' independence, is the onlv
condition on which Davis & Co.' will enter
tain the idea of peace. Vallaudigham &
Co. are for peace upon any terms to suit
the rebels South, simply becao.se they are
a anxious for the destruction of the Union
as their "Southern brethren" are. '

anxious to bold out until after the Presi

from its effects. They hope for a revolu

peace candidate ; in fact, like Macawber,
they hope for something to 'turn up If
our peace friends expect peace from sep
aration, they are much mistaken. It
would but be the beginning of war, with
thousands of Northern-men joining the
South, because of our d'sgrace in allowing
separation with peace on any terms. The
South would -demand restoration cf the
slaves already freed ; iade amity for losses,
a treaty which would make the North a

the restoring of every slave escaping to

He certainly endeavoied to do so, but he

"The capture of Richmond would prove
of greater importance to our enemies in a
political point of view than any other
sense. With our capital in their, possess

a material loss its fall would in no manner
compare with the disadvantages which
would result from a defeat of General
Johnston, and the occupation of Georgia
that would follow. The first point is near
our boundary lines, the second is our great
