ItatfOratlon Meeting
On Saturday evening last the Democracy
and Conservative citizens of this town met,
in Snyder's Hall, to ratify the nominations
of lionATlo SETmorn for President and
F. P. BLUR. Jr., for Vice-President. Maj.
Wm B. KOONS presided over the meeting,
which was attended not only by the Democ
racy of this place but by quite a number
front other parts of the county. Speeches
were made by ('ol. Freeze, C. G. Barkley,
EN., and W. 11. Shoemaker. The Brass
Band of our town enlivened the occasion
with some of their choice airs. The nomi
nations seem to meet with general favor by
the Democracy throughout the whole coun
try. The prospects look fair for a Demo
cratic victory this fall. A great revolution
is taking place in the minds of the people
in favor of the New York nominees. This
campaign can and will be made a spirited
and enthusiastic ono on the part of the De
itineracy. All is needed is thorough organi
zation, and with the proper amount of labor
after that is effected, successis sure for our
ticket.
Taxing Government Bonds.
In the House of Representatives, at
IVashington, on Friday last, the bill l'or the
taxation of National Boads passed by a vote
of yeas 92, nays 5,1. It reads as follows:
"Be it enada, &e., That from and after
the passage of this act there shall be lea ied,
c , dlected and paid a tax of ten per centum
on the amount of interest hereafter due and
payable on all the bonds and other securi
ties of the United States. To secure the
collection of said tax the amount of interest
hereafter paid on any bonds or other securi
ties of the United States, bearing interest
at six per centum, shall be at the rate of
only 5 5.10 per (vaunt ; and bearing inter
est at the rate of five per centum, shall be
at the rate of only 4 5-10 per centum and
if' bearing interest at the rate of three per
centlun, shall be at the rate of only 2 7.10
per cent= per annum. No higher rate of
interest than is prescribed shall be paid on
any bond or security of the United States
now out-standing, or authorized to be issued,
all conditions of any such bonds or security
mid all laws and parts of law to the con
trary notwithstanding."

Nrw Yonx, July 0.
At the close of' the Convention on
Wednesday General Hancock was ahead of'
his competitors, and the impression was
that he would be nominated today ; never
theless different State delegations held long
consultations over the chances of the several
:audidates, and there was a well authenti
cated report this morning that the Now
York delegation voted by a majority to go
over to Chase to-day if Hendricks began to
sink down. This, however was not called
fur, inasmuch as Hendricks displayed greater
strength than he did yesterday. Lung be
fore the hour of meeting in Convention an
immense crowd congregated in front of Tam
many Hall, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. A nomination was expected,
but who would be the lucky man no one
seemed to know positively. The State del
egation 3 bad been canvassed by others and
canvassed by themselves; but still the mat
ter was apparently involved in as much
doubt as at any time heretofore. The only
thing really certain was that Pendleton
would be withdrawn. Hut where his votes
would go to was the question. Some thought
they would become reconciled to Hendricks,
and others that they would go to Hancock,
and a few professed to believe that Chase
was the coming man. The latter idea, how
ever, was confined principally to the outside
crowd, who have favored him all along.
About 101 o'clock, all being in readiness,
the Convention proceeded to take the nine
teenth ballot, prior to which, however,
Judge Field, of California, was put in nom
ination, and also General Blair, of .slissouri.
Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, then presented
Mr. Pendleton's manly and patriotic letter,
withdrawing from the contest, which was
greeted with loud cheers. The call of the
States then proceeded. Alabama and Ar
kansas led off for Hancock. Wheel's. f
Connecticut returned to English. The mast
noticeable change, however, was that of
Ohio casting her' 1 votes for Packer. New
York adhered to Hendricks, and Pennsyl
vania retired for consultation. and upon cow
in in voted again for Hancock. Hancock
received 1::5,1, Hendricks lu, and the rest
scattering. On the next ballot Hancock
went. up to 1421, and Hendricks to 121. On
the twenty first ballot Massachusetts gave
Chase 4 votes, which were received with
loud cheering. Hancock fell off on this
ballot and Hendricks went up considerably.
On the' twenty-second and last ballot the
voting went on as usual, showing no indica
tion of a material change till the State of
Ohio was called, when General McCook
arose and nominated Horatio Seymour, giv
ing him the vote of Ohio. This was the
signal for the wildest and most enthusiastic
cheering, which lasted nearly ten minutes.
Seymour appeared on the platform and pe
remptorily declined the nomination. Val
landigham sprung to his feet, and in a neat
speech insisted that Seymour should accept
that Presidency which sought him, and no
man ought to refuse to yield to the wishes
of the country. In conclusion, Vallandig
ham renewed the vote of Ohio for Seymour.
This was seconded by Oregon. Penneylvas
nia asked time for consultation, hut in less
than two minutes Judge Woodward arose
and cast the vote of the old Keystone for
Seymour, amid tremendous applause. The
other States followed, and all who had voted
before Ohio rapidly changed, and the result
was that Horatio Seymour was unanimously
named on the twenty-second ballot. When
it became known that Seymour was the
choice of the Csonvention, a scene never to
be forgotten ensued. Delegates and specta
tors, both ladies and gentlemen. arose and
sent up such terrific cries as thirly startled
the crowd outside and shook the lofty walls
of Tammany. The work was done despite
his protestations, and against his oft-ex
pressed will, Horatio Seymour, of New
York, was selected as standard-hearer of the
Democracy for the great campaign of
The news of' the nomination spread like
wildfire; deep-mouthed cannon in nion
Square thundered forth the popular ap
proval of the happy choice of the Conven
tion. The crowd around Tammany increas
ed tenfold, and along Fourthteenth street,
from Third to Fourth avenues, them was a
perfect sea of human beings. The Conven
tion had taken a recess for an hour, but the
crowd still lingered, and cheers went up for
the people's candidate and America's states
man, Horatio Seymour.
Shortly after 2 o'clock, the Convention
reassembled. Of course the next move was
to nominate a candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency. The names of Generals Blair, Ew
ing and Morgan were freely mentioned
among delegates, and after the Convention
had been called to order, Illinois opened the
ball by nominating General 31eClernand of
that State, who, however, in a neat speech
declined the honor. Kansas followed with
Ewing, Kentucky with Blair, lowa with
Dodge. General Steadman, on behalf of
Louisiana, endorsed Blair, and other States
did the same thing. A motion was made to
nominate Blair by acclamation. A call of
the States was requested, and thereupon the
friends of the other candidates withdrew
their name,., a n d on the call of the roll every
State voted for Blair. South Carolina,
through General Ilatnpton, crone up gal
lantly and endorsed him, and so did Tonnes-
FIT, through General Forrest. A most
pleasing incident occurred at this point.
Hampton having taken his seat, General
McClernand went over and shook him cor
dially by the hand ; the delegates and spec
tators, observing time gratifying manifesta
tions of friendship, recogeized it by cheer
ing tremendously. After the appointment
of a committee to notify the nominees of the
action of the Cotiventisn, and the transac•
Lion of some other business, the Conven
tion, amid the greatest enthusiasm, adjourn
ed slow die.

The Presidency.
It is with unbounded enthusiasm that the
Democracy receive the nomination of Ho.
ratio Seymour. *At any time during the
Convention, he could have stood first on the
ballot; but a strong disinclination to public
office led him to prefer the claims of others
to his own. IDA unanimous selection as
Chairman of the Convention was significant
of the general preference which has at last
forced upon him the nomination for the
Presidency. The protracted balloting, caus
ed by the withholding of his name, proved
that it alone could command unanimous as
sent. The Convention, at last, literally ear-
Tied their candidate by storm. This is, in
deed, a case where the office seeks the man,
and not the man the office.
It is to his great abilities, to his pure and
lofty character, that Horatio Seymour owes
this peculiar rind unprecedented honor, Ile
has not been allowed to deny himself' to the
service of his country, at this juncture, be
cause in him is recognized the special ability
now demanded for her service. He is the
statesman, the thinker, the administrator,
to whose ripe wisdom and experienm the
American people can safely trust the helm
of state, in all the difficult questions that
attend our future as a nation. Problems of'
finance and of government are those in
which he is best fitted to guide to safe and
just solutions. The most recent publication
of his views on the urgent questions of the
any. was his great speech in which he ex
hibited the resources of our government
lavished in expenditures, one-third of which
only was appropriated to meet the claims of
the public creditors. Ile exhibited with
masterly skill the effect of a practicable re
trenchment upon the public credit, rapidly
approximating the obligations of' the gov
ernment to their par value, anti affording a
currency acceptable alike to all.
Mr. Seymour's disinclination to take office
has been always consistent and sincere.
Every politieal honor in the gilt of the De
mocracy of his State has always been at. his
command. Ile has, however, waived, in.
stead of using the advantage of' his popu
larity. On the urgent cell of the people of
New York he has twits, hp the office of
11overnor, and in his administration of the
affairs and resources of that Commonwealth
has established his great reputation for abil
ity. The people now claim its exercise in a
still wider sphere. As a great ora c le o f the
Democratic party, Horatio Seymour is so
universally known to all in its ranks, that
to-day we do not dwell further upon his fa
miliar history.
Tu VIcE-PRESIDENM—it has been in
timated that the Democratic Convention
would no doubt step beyond late party lines
in its present nominations. The large in
flux of the purest and most eminent men of
the late Republican party, who, shaking the
dust from their feet, have abjured the com
pany of the profligate and revolutionary
Radicals, seemed to merit a distinct and
cordial welcome from the Democracy. It
could not have been given more appropri
ately and graceffilly than in the nomination
of General Francis I'. Blair for 1 ice•l'resi
dent. Bred a Democrat, be became a leader
in the Republican ranks, and, during the
lifetitne of Mr. Lincoln, enjoyed his pecu
liar confidence. Ile did not abuse it, but
strove to stem the torrent of Radicalism
when its pressure swayed and threatened to
overwhelm the Republican President. As
a member of the Thirty-seventh Congress,
he pave u splendid exhibition of oratory in
a debate in which he encountered and over
threw Colfax, who appeared as the political
champion of Fremont. Ho was also a mem
ber of the Thirty-eighth Congress, but left
it for military service in the field. Ile had
been very active at the beginning of the war,
in wresting Missouri from the control of the
secessionists. He afterwards received from
Mr. Lincoln the appointment of Major-1;oo.
oral in the Army. lie shared in all the glo
ries of the campaigns of Sherman, and was
one of the most highly esteemed of his sub
ordinates by that great military commander.
Since the war General Blair has sustained
the policy of President Johnson, and is, in
opinion, thoroughly identified with the De
mocracy. his views were lately stated in a
eulogy upon the Hon. Thomas 11. Bunton,
of which we, at the time, laid a portion be
fore our readers. His recent letter com
mends him to us, as it did, no doubt, to the
Convention.
General Blair is in the prime of man
hood, king now about forty.seven years of
age. He is prompt, resolute, and earnest,
with a wide experience, civil and military.
His nomination is heartily acceptable to
us, and we applaud the wisdom that dic
tated it.-419c.

Bow the Greenback Platform
WIVI Received In the New Work
National Cons elation.
The special New York correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Commercial thus pictures
the reading and adoption of the greenback
resolutions by tho Democratic National Con
vention. Ile lays :
The first and second demands of' the plat
form were received with rather tame ap
plause. The Convention was waiting for
financial questions and was not willing to
commit itself rashly, but when the third de
wand was read, that the public, debt, unless
otherwise stipulated on its face, 6°112 be
paid in lawful money, there came the first
thoroughly hearty and old-fashioned Demo
cratic demonstration. The Pendletonians
saw their triumph and burst into a tempest
of cheering, which roared through the hall,
died away, rose again and for wino time
interrupted! proceedings.
The next had an almost equally hearty re
ception, the applause breaking out the in
stant the Convention caught the words,
"Equal taxation of all property. including
government bonds." The next demand,
"ono currency for all," raised unothet
whirlwind of applause, the greenback men
now finding themselves triumphant at all
points, and abandoning themselves to the
delirium of delight.
Then when the question of thq,platform
came up, there was a storm of ayes. The
West rose to its feet to celebrate its triumph
in the hulls of Tammany. The galleries
and Convention *teemed all on their feet.—
Enthusiast ie delegates snatched up the atm,-
dards of their respective states and waved
them over the crowd. Hats and haduker
chiefs darkened the air. and the tempest of
nobs! that swept through the hall shook the
fblds of the flags that floated on all sides,
Ind made the rich decorations of Tammany
tremble as if a gale from the prairies were
taking its will of them.

We greet this book with liitieere and unu-
sual satisfaction. Such a Bible help for the
people and Sabbath Schools has a value that
cannot be expressed in dollars and cents, and
money should not, with any, stand in the
way of obtaining it. Its accurate and ample
infin•tuation is thorough and complete, a
consideration of every subject relating to
the Bible, its numerous biographies, (a
sketch of every person mentioned in the
Bible being given,) its history of ancient
times and people, and its presentation of
the facts of modern discovery which have
been so wonderful, render this a work that
no family and teacher should on any consid
eration neglect to secure.
Issued by Messrs. Burr & Co., it k eve
rything in external finish and beauty that
the most fitstidions can ask. They put their
works in the best fbnus, disclaiming all tin
sel and boldly ornaments. The supreme
merit of the work is that it is an uutauti
fates/ reproduction of the Abridgment by
Dr. Smith himself, of his great and expen
sive work "for Divines and Scholars." This
he, who was better fitted for such a work
than any other, prepared for Sabbath Seim)
teachers and families, in a form most useful
to them, and the American publishers have
re-printed and offer it so r/scap us to leave
every person without excuse in not availing
himself of its rare aid in understanding the
Scriptures. Anothar merit possessed by
this edition only, is the aerratuation of the
proper names so as to give each a pronuncia
tion authorizad by our best American lexi
cographers. This i an excellence of great
importance. We repeat our declaration that
we greet this work most gladly. It is just
the thing for the teacher in his preparation
for his class, be they young or old.
In the dwelling where the Bible is read
and studied, this book would cause that Di
vine light to shed an illumination which has
not been realized before. Surpassing all
other similar works in compactness, com
pleteness, cheapness, and its admirable suit
ableness to intelligent Bible-loving people,
it should and will find a quick and large sale.
11 e are glad to learn that the publishers
have not miscalculated the wants and wishes
Of the religious public.
Agents will find in this work, so rich in'
Sble and so attractive outside, a most lucra
tive employment, and we wish that every
town in our country might be canvassed for
it, so helpful would it be for the comprehen
sion of the Sacred Book. It is commended
in the warmest terms by clergymen and in
telligent laymen of oil denominations. It
should occupy a place in every library beside
the Bible.

GRANT'S Poet . R !TY. —I tis worthy of
remark that every election which has been
held since the nomination of General Grant
for the Presidency exhibits Democratic gains
and Radical losses. The notion that Gen
eral Grant's popularity ns a military man
would induce Democrats to abandon their
principles, and support negro equality and
military despotism, proves a complete mis
take ; on the contrary, the Democratic party
is daily growing stronger by the accession of
the honester and more intelligent portion of
the Republicans, who find that their loaders
are constantly violating the principles hypo
critically professed in their party platforms.

tionalibtan's Organ on Seymour.
(Jr. Tt, July 10.--The Cincinnati
Atitf#444 this morning has the following
on- theltminetion of Nit Seymour : For
twenty year' no man has exerted a *Whit
lamp upon public affairs in the Drtiuoß
etuilWrty. No man is better known o
Tatimired. Ile not only has no equal
in tiniPartip, but he baa no rival. Gifted
with a fine presence, with a remarkable flow
of' language, with elegant diction, he is un•
surmised as an orator. Ho is the pride
and ornament of the Empire State. Ile
commenced life as a Democrat, and has
never wavered in his advocacy of that polit
ical faith. In his private life there is no
blemish ; his morals are pure, his repute
tion untarnished, He was not a candidate
for the nomination for the Presidency, but
repeatedly declined, and it was only upon
the solicitation of the West and the unani
mous voice of the Convention that he ac
cepted the nomination. Why, then, should
he not be supported by the Democracy of
the entire country? What objection can
reasonably be urged against him? His
character and qualifications arc eminent ; he
is eminent as an orator; he is distinguished
as a statesman ; there is no comparison be
tween him and Grant, either politically or
personally. He will be supported by the
Democracy, and will be triumphantly elected.
He was not originally the choice of the
West. As is well known, they preferred,
with extraordinary unanimity, Hon. George
H. Pendleton, but owing to adverse circum
stances he has been defeated, and the nomi
nation has fallen upon Governor Heytnour
through the action of Mr. Pendleton's
friends. We do not hesitate to pledge him
their cordial support.

Mors. Impeachment
The old traitor and revolutionist, Thad.
Stevens, stung by the righteous defeat of
his late efforts at Impenehment, prepared
some new articles which he hoped, by the
aid of carpet-bag Senators, to pass through.
They were presented on the 7th, accompa
nied by another brimstone speech, at which
even the revolutionists laughed immoderate
ly. This was rough on the old traitor, but
the worst of all was that his articles were
postponed until December. If there is any
place in this country for the safe-keeping of
revolutionists and traitors, Stevens should
now be put into it for the remainder of his
wished life. The current in favor of the
I and liberty is getting too strong to be
longer held in check by congressional scoun
drels. We care nothing fir their new
reticules of treason. Virtue and the Amer
ican people are against them and if they
fail to yield their revolutionary purposes
peacefully force will soon bring them to their
senses.— Sadoirg Iknorral,
A PLUCKY WomAN. —The Greensburg
(La.) Stier, of the 13th tilt., publishes the
fallowing : "A few nights ago, out near
the plank road, in Baton Louse Parish, a
couple of negroes called in at a house, the
owner of which was absent, and told the
lady that unless she gave them all the money
she hall in her possession they would kill
her, The ',oar woman being without pro
tection, and knowing that resistance would
he useless, yielded up the money to the
thievish scound r els. After gutting the
money they ordered supper, the lady, emir
plying with the order, prepared it. Keep
ing herself cool, and not losing her pres
ence of mind, she dropped a few grains of
strichnine in the coffee, which soon stopped
them in their thievish career. She then
gave the alarm, and upon examination the
supposed negroes were found to be white
men and near neighbors."

that a full box of matches sitting in the win

sun, and would, no doubt, have produced
disastrous results had not the wrapper been
so tight. As it was, the composition was all
burned off when the fire went out. There
were two or three valuable horses, carriages,
&c., in the barn. The burning of the matches
was not discovered until evening, when the
hostler attempted to ignite one of them.
Ilad the barn burned, it would .have been

open window of the room in which Mr. and
Mrs. Kelly were sleeping, killing the latter
and stunning the former severely. The son
was sleeping in another part of the house,
and was not injured. lie states that during
the night he heard a faint call, and on go

Ins Troubles
TAMAQUA, July 11.—Business here is sl
um* end* amended on account of the
strike. 44trIge fine of polies is on hand,
holding in tendinous for any emergency. 4%
coring of hnn employes will be held this
afternoon.
They desire to return to work, and will
make the effort on Monday. Should the
miners interfere there will be trouble. Pup•
ular rumor says that the coal operators have
instigated the strike among the miners tbr
the purpose of raising the price of coal,
and, in some eases, have supplied the stri
kers with money.
They have evidently overshot the mark,
for the strike has affected not only the coal
but all other interests. Mon of all nation-
alities are engaged, and every hour increases
the trouble. There is no telling where it
will end.
SEYMOUR AND BLAtn.—All who are op
posed to supporting, by onerous taxation
and a Freedman's Bureau, the lazy, indolent
negroes of the North and South—all who
believe the money paid to the working closes
is good enough for the bondholder—all who
are not yet willing to acknowledge that the
negro is equal to the white man, will voto
for the platform and candidates of the De
mocracy.
ANSWER CANDIDIX.—The Republican
newspapers are just now very much excl.•
cued because the Denmeracy propose to pay
the bondholders in depreciated (greenback)
currency. Is not this deprerlohli curretwy
paid to the farmer, the ineehanie awl the
laborer ? If it is pond enough fir the weik•
jog elte(scs, is it not good enough for the
untaxed bondholders?
GOLD EXClTEMENt—Washiuribm,
13.—The United States Consul at Victoria,
Vaneouvor's Island, writes to the Secretary
of State, that advice front Sitka,
report that miners had discovered very rich
gold mines in that country, and were picking
up gold in lumps. Great excitement was
prevalent.

the Fourth of July a hor , e belonging to Mr.
Van Dusen's livery stable, and also one be

heat. The latter fell dead in the traces, at
Wadesville.—B.tullle Standerd.
GRANT, in Iszttl, declared himself a Dem
ocrat. Ile is now a radical candidate Ihr
President. In 1864 the radicals had a can
didate who, in 1860, was a Pentoerat. The
experience of the past four years has been
so pleasant that the radicals wish to repeat
Ilt - rr.mt swears that the Chicago platform
means greenlaoks; and I;recloy swears that
it means gold. Who shall decide when
two such prominent Radical liars disagree?
CIIINK 4 E TREATY.-M inister Burlinamne

treaty of commerce between the United

Ms:sat - DE.— A felling of lassitude is gen
erally experienced throughout the the sum
mer solstice. Weakly constituted persons
or those of sedentary habits invariably
cout
plain of this annoyance. The scorching
heart of mid-summer relaxes the system
and reduces the vital energies. If the pa
tient is of a nervous temperament this de
bility unfits him fir even the ordinary rou
tine of every-day life. When this state of
exhaustion comas on nosTErnms
STOMACH BITTERS will prove a safe
and never failing means of strengthening
and restoring the physical organization.—
This health-giving tonic purifies and infuses
renewed vitality into the blood, tones the
stomach and digestive organs, and acts like
a charm on the nervous system. It effect
ually removes all tendency to languor or de
pression of spirits. To the weaker sex it is
invaluable, as it soothes and braces up,
while its powerful effects are of the most
beneficial character. The infinnaties ()rage
are alleviated by its We. it revives the
strength, increases the appetite and gives
vigor and elasticity to the constitution.
When mothers are nursing HOSTET
TER'S STOMACH 'HEWERS should es
pecially be taken in regular doses, as in this
country, most always. the nourishment is
inadequate to the wants of the child. In
such cases this inestimable tonic is wonder
fully efficacious. Its strengthening virtues
are at once apparent. It is free from all
properties calculated to impair the system.
and its operations are at once mild and
soothing.
"They made her a grave too cold and damp
For u soul PO honest and true."
If they had been wise, the dire necessity
of opening the grave throne so lovely might
have been averted. Plantation Bitters, if
timely used, are sure to rescue the young
and lovely, the middle-aged and the ailing,
from confirmed sickness.
Almost all diseases have their beginning
in sonic Plight difficulty of the Stomach,
which w3uld eventuate a Dyspepsia, Bead
ache, Liver Complaints, Night Sweats, Con

prevent these premonitory symptoms, and
keep the blood pure and the health good.
While they invigorate the system, they
enliven the mind.
