They visite d the tiltveral shops in Pottsville, and in some eases the workmen fell into the ranks, while others continued to work. The shops at Pt.

A meeting was held in the Court House on Thursday evening with a view to secure unity on the pan of the machinists, mould ers, laborers and others connected with iron workings. No definite action was taken however. The repurca telegraphed from here to the city papers, the effect that the miners were riotous, and destroying property and committing entraps; have been entirely false.

When ever a wan arrives at middle or old age, he should quit lying and endeavor to make amends fur his past life. If, as they say, the Democratic patty is dead, we really do not bee why they should put themselves to so much trouble to create a false impression in the country. The truth is, they know that the Radical party is bound to go under, and they wish, if possible, to save it as they have heretofore done, by bold lying. It will not do. The I)cineerata and Conservatives know what they are about, and in the fall elections they will show the Radicals some tall voting. There is scarcely a town of any note but a ratification meeting has been held, at which the must determined spirit has been manifested. We could 611 our paper with extracts but deem it unnecessary. There is it universal desire to put the Radi cal party out of puwer, and this will be done, not in a noisy hurra kind of manner, but in a quiet determined way that will show when the people mean a thing they do R.— /Autocratic lkeold.

[Cwinmunlcsated.l Fisttiwoometc, July 18, 1868. :W. Miter .—lnuatuucla as my article in tended forpublication, two weeks ago, was not received in time, and as you have seen fit to withhold it still, which is perhaps the better plan, I have concluded to address you a few hoes of a more moderate character, not making so many strictures upon the course of ()snail' individuals as were made in the ether, and I will hope to meet bettor luck than to be thrown under the table. In my first letter I spoke of the manner in which Mr. Kline was brought before the people. I think I there made it plain to every reader that it was a mere work of cor ruption calculated to cause strife in the Dem ocratic party. I did not then allude to the record of Mr. Kline. I prupore now merely to buy a word or two of him. Almost eve. rytliing has been told of' his action in the Legislature, and I believe the people of the county sufficiently understand the matter to say in their votes fur delegates that he, with his towage tax amid Sunbury and Erie rail. road, had better stay at home. I had the pleasure, a few days ago, of seeing a gentle man in our neighboritood from Montour county. It occurred to mo that the °spree. eious of that gentleman should be made known to the people of Columbia. Mon tour county, as is well known, forms a part of this Representative district, and the citi zens of that county are as much interested in the choice of a good candidate as we of Columbia. Tho gentleman of whom I speak is a Democrat, end although he said the member belongs of right to Columbia, yet they of Montour were not willing that a mail whose past record is impeachable should be thrown upon them. He said that notwithstanding they did not wish to inter fere with us, they would kel very much in suited to be asked to ratify the nomination of a candidate who could not possibly carry the county of Montour. The gentlemen who have been active in putting Mr. Kline befbre the people, and striving to secure his nomination, should remember the faction of alinntittsts dues not extend outside of Columbia, and that if they should through tricks and money force Kline upon the dtw trict, he might be met with opposition in the conference and sucecoding in the confer. caw, the Democrats ut Montour becoming indignant ut the frantic tumbling of the COUSCITOiAT CUiliinhialld, might seek redress by defeating Kline in oi:tot-re l .. I thine we should present to the Conference a um of pure Vemocratie record, one against whom the Radical press could not charge fraud. Some of Mr. Kline's' friends have com plained of the Dtaluceat because it publish ed his official course on the Tenneco Tax question, and also his own justification on the Sunbury and Erie Railroad fraud, to gether with the very just criticisms of Col. Freeze. They say it is. going out of die usual course to favor or oppose a candidate previous to the Convention. if' that be so, why did the Kt conservative Cohouldan open the way by publishing' au article con cerning the vote of Mr. Kline, intended to mislead the people? It became, sir, your duty to expose the deception thus attempt ed to be practiced. We want capable rep. resentatives, and such as fairly present to the legislature by votes, words and deeds, the wishes of their constituents. When a man has leen tried and found wanting it is not well to trust him again, and particularly when lie still insists that his course was right. .If the people of Columbia are iu favor of giving to Railroad companies bun. 'lrish of thousands of dollars which proper. ly belong to the state, then we would say repeat the dose; if' upon the other hand, they do not wish to be burdened with taxa tion and debt to increase the income of large capitalists they should try 41 new phys ician. A few such prescriptions as were given il.c Conouonne.ildi of Dininsylvania in ISO by Kline and others, will physic her to death. Again, Mr. Editor. it is now said that the publication of ii line'a letter and Freeze'a COMlllellid is wrong, because Col. Freeze did that work under the excitement of the moment, that he did tint believe it right then, and now thinks he was in error. They say Freeze would not now charge Mimi with fraud and corruption. I do not pre tend to say that Kline was bribed, but I do say that the confluents of col. Freeze upon his letter, seem to indicate, that he, Freeze. then believed there had been bribery. If it wore not true why tli.l not Kline clear up the wetter? It' ho were not bribed, then his error in judgment makerldin wholly an unfit Member of the Legislature. Men who are so easily lead away have not strength of mind enough to represent the horses of' Columbia. lf, however, Col. Freese did not believe what be wrote opposing Kline's course, then he was a most consummate de ceiver, and Col. Kline should not now allow himself to be Freeze's candidate, unless he is equally a deceiver, and delights in decep tive combinations. There is much fog en circling the matter, and I should Arise the candidate of Orange to seek honest euinpany if he would repent. Yours, &c., I Communicated.] PiNK Towsattm, July 16, 18f.$. W. 11.

It has governed us fOr near eight yearn; the history of its first adniinistration is writ ten in four yearn of blond and recorded in an enormous national debt; the history of its second administration is near four venni of peace, with absolute power, and a Union not restored, a govt rument of the sword, business destroyed, taxation crushing the energies of the people, and the negro vested with the balance of power. Its end and aim is the preservation of Radical power through the votes of nerves, and to this will be sacrificed your material interests. and, it' necessary, your personal rights and your form of government. Military rule oppresses the nation and eats out the substance of the people. It is fit that Grant should lead the party that maintains that rule, for his laurels were gathered by the sword alone.

All the lives lost, all the money expended. all the evil which has been done to our institutions, has simply resulted in 'putting all political I power in ten States into the hands of'North ern scoundrels, whom their own party are ashamed to recognize at home. ('an any one expect the party which has done this to do better in the future? They will, if motioned in power, go straight on until the whole country falls under the blight which has stricken the South.—Bellefonte Watch man. . I= WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO DRINK.-Dif• fereut people, in different places, have dif ferent ways of exprersing the same thing. Fur example, in Montana, when a man asks you to drink, he says; "Let's try some of the molten lead and brimstone." In Idaho, "Let's have a little extract Kansas." In Arizona, "Let's take a scalp." In Sacra mento, "Let's reduce the flood." About the Mud Volcanoes, on the Humboldt, it's 'Suppose we blaze.' At Fort Churchill they say, "Let's inoculate with the measles," sod everybody is inoculated there. At Chi cago, :'Nominate your poison," and they pour it down and are poisoned. And iu 1/looinsburg, thusly, "Let's mix," and they mixeth, and get "mixed." WnEN the record shows that wherever a party has perfect power it oppresses the white race for the benefit of the block, it is only reasonable to conclude that they will do the 8311110 wherever they acquire power. The Radicals have complete control only at the South, and the condition of that stricken region is a fair specimen of what the whole country will be if they are nut driven from t heir position.
