Seymour and Ike Radical!.
TT 19 singular that the Republicans all
over the country express so much nympathy
for the Democratic party in having made,
nn they say, a bad nomination for President.
We have Radicals in this town who talk that
way, and there are such in every section or
the country. But, if the Democrats have
made bad selections in their standard bear
ers, it is tti the ad.,•antage of the Radical
party, and that party would be the lust one
to make a fitse over the matter, by whining
about "what a bad nomination the Nur,
York l'onention made." The fact is, it is
I .le werst nomination that could hare been
- .tale for the Radicals to defeat. There is
but a single charge that, they can produce
againat Mr. Seymour. Ile is a statesman
of tteknowksiged ability, of large experi

and its Cal vital at the most flying moment,
and at a lime when it Wu', hard to determine
which way the great rebellion was going to

called Seymour anything else hut a patriot,
true to the country, true to the Constitution
and the Union, For his ',tomtit and valuta

k Our' Ler of the Repubileds—ak.well

the speeelOade by I hiv. Seymour in July,
lell3, to the New York rioters, which little
rumpus wi t s 1(3(1.4 up on Recount of an at
: tempt of the then administration to draft
twice as many men in the German and Irish
district,' of New York city as was required
from the saute number of enroled men in
the rural Radical districts. This s h ameless
outrage was investigated by a committee
appointed by _President Lincoln, and fully
exposed. Its attempted enforteruent by
Secretary Stanton caused the riot in the city,
and goy, Seymour hastened front Albany
to the scene to quell the mob. This occur
red on the 11th of July five years ago. We
append I boy. Seymour's address to the riot
ers on that occasion. It had the effect of
allaying the excitement and dispersing the
mob. It is the glory of 4ov. Seymour that
whilst he righted the wrongs of those who
undertook to redress their own grievances,
he at once restored order by his simple but
earnest appeal. The words of Gov. Sey
inour to the mob should be framed in gold.
Why did not our neighbor of the Republi
cost publish the whole speech, and not give
a garbled extract of it? Does he think his
readers are so ignorant as not to discover
the deception? But then the Dr. and his
Radical fricnds have become so obtuse to
everything pure and patriotic that they even
assail this speech of Gov. Seymour, made
to save his political enemies in New York
from being lynched and their property front
being destroyed. We point to it with pride,
and ask that it shall be read by every order
loving titan in the country. The f¢/lowing
is the speech
"My friends—l have come down here
limn the quiet of the country to see what
was the difficulty; to learn what all this
trouble was concerning the draft. Let me

I wish to int!wm von that I have sent my
Adietnut General to Washington to confer

and no wrong done to any one. I wish you

OIL JOHN G. Fittazit retracts his article
written in 18G1, saying the Tonnage Tat
bill was a fraud, awl nor says this measure,
robbed the State of half a million
dollars, "was an act of justice."
Now and Then,
The senior editor of the (b/onthiqn cer
tainly fails to explain to the readers of that
paper, in his windy letter over his own sig
nature, what has brought so sudden a change
in hint as to HIRAM R. KLINE'S course
in the Legislature a few years ago. When
those Railroad swindb s were passed through
the Legislature, and the State defrauded
out of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, J.
Fitt:Ezt: classed KLINE along with the
men whom he charged with briber/ and wr
rupion ! He charged every man who as
sisted in the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
swindle, as well as those who aided the re
peal of the TONNAGE TAX, with hav
ing betrayed their constituents and filled
their pockets with eurraplion money receiv
ed from a mammoth corporation! Mr.
KLINE at that time was not a fit man to
meant to the Legislature, however "far-see
ing" he may have been, and we fail to see
what he has since done to entitle him to the
support of the Democracy of this county.
He has never cleared up that record he leg
behind, nor satisfied the people that lie acted
with pure and honest motives when he as
sisted dose great monopolies to swindle the
State out of an immense amount of money.
FRIZZE now would have this man foisted
ellen the Democracy of the county. A few
years ago he (Kline) was net fit to represent
us ; the people said so, by leaving him at
/Arneibut we are told in that LLTIEII that
KLINE is a "far-seeing statesman," more
than is claimed, possibly, by any one for the
man who wrote it. Col, Freeze was one of
Kline's first and most reckless "defamers"
iu HO, and a prceipe issued for him at that
time might or might not have changed the
color of things. But Kline has within the
past six years studied up some other process
by which ho has hushed up Freeze and made
hue exhibit the jind and demagogue.
Cot.. Jolts U. FREEzt: takes upon him-
Fell' the honor of acknowledging himself to
be a demagogue and fool, who lied (ho says)
against Col. Kline in 1.561, and now lies for
The Old Guard for August.

kr - WHEN John G. Freeze slandered
Kline in 18f4 "forbearance did not eease to
be a virtue." Perhaps Kline's' official acts
were too fresh in the minds of the people at
that time to undertake the job of setting up
slander snits against his "defamer.," or he
may not have , been. , able to find a Freeze

Delegate elections in this county require
that nil delegates be selected BY BALLOT.
This rule will to enfomod, and all delegates
who are not elected according to its require

convention. At our last nominating con
vention this I ulo was respected only in ease
where it met the desires or a few wily poli

had not received one vote BY BALLOT or
otherwise ; then, on the other hand, men
were excluded from the commitAn who

votes in the district than his opponent. A
full turn-out at these meetings is desired,
and in case they are well attended the result
will be a judicious and better selection of
delegates. Send the very best men and all
will be well, the Democracy harmonious,
and the Democratic majority increased.
Tux days of knownethingism, conserva

few years, hare departed. We float from
our mast head the ticket of the Democratic
Party ; and the people of the land are with
us. With such names as that of Seymour
tbr President of the United States, and
Boyle and Ent at the head of our State
Ticket, we know no such word as fail. Our
party possesses now, more than ever, the
elements of strength. Every one of our
candidates waged fierce war against the doc
trine of secession, while, at the same time,
ignoring the dogmas of radical republican•
ism. The "sober second thought" of the
people is beginning to grasp this idea, and
the right men will be put in fitting places.

John G. Frreze.
Awl the "gentlemanly" John (L Freeze,
is trying to obliterate the dark record he has
labored fur many long years to make for
some of his "present associates." But,
how can there he "(Vitoria! eccivs," culled
from the columns of a public journal, as he
wrote them and had them printed, we con
fess we are unable to. divine. We suppose
he came to this conclusion from the same
parity of reasoning, that a fellow about his
size once did, who when associated with us
in journalism, used our columns to malign the
character of his own Pastor, at our expense,
as he vainly hoped, but whcu we affixed
his initials to the offensive article, and he
so read it in print, he "grew ns mad as a
Bail and swore like a 'lurk.''
Our friend Mister Freeze has evidently
got himseil into an awkward lle
penned the above tlorce , m, beyond per:ill
venture, for the edification of the Smith &
Cameron "Mongrel" of this City, and they
gobbled it up before the thing was cold.—
Well, they have had the benefit of its pub
lication, and we hope they may enjoy all its
advantages.
There is another brilliant billingsg,atc
article, from the same illustrious author in
the same paper intended for the Mongrel,
and when they make it public here, wts will
also add the pepper and spice. The Mom
grel evinces Its usual verflanry, in p u bli s h.
mg this article and connecting it with the
name of Senator fluckalew. We have yet
to learn, that there is or e ver lea s., an y eth
er than the most cordial friendship existing
betwixt that r entletnati and ourselves, a n d
this the silly mongrels learned to their sor
row last fall, when the Senator unok his
able speech in Williamsport, and had it
published from the manuscript in cireulnr
form and in the LTCOM3II,7O STANDARD.-

Col. Freeze said : "When the
people's Fe r van td become corrupt and be
tray public confidence, their iniquities
should be fully exposed, and this duty, how,
ever unpleasant, necessarily devolves upon
the conductors of the public press."
Col. Freeze now says the same iniquities
should be kept secret, and, befouls those
who in honor speak against corruption and
fraud and bribery.
THE "National blessing" is getting paid
off in a very lively manlier—judging from
the statements of the treasury. The total
debt on the first day of June, 181;5--which
was after the close of the war, was $2,635.•
205,753. Since then there have been three
years of profound peace. The last Coded.
crate army surrendered in May, 1865, and
wo hare for three years been engaged in
paying off this vast debt. On the first of
June, 1868, the debt of the United States
was $2.03,853,566, as stated by Secretary
McCulloch. Instead of having been dimin•
ished, the debt has been increased during
the past three years, $8,547,813. If it takes
three years to increase the debt eight and
one-half millions, bow long will it take to
pay it off ? Do you ever think of this work
ing men? You who are toiling night and
day, and the earnings of whom go into the
treasury of the bondholder`?
Cot.. Joey G. FREEZE toys the vote of
Kline in favor of the Sunbury and Erie
railroad bill, by the passage of which the
State was defrauded out of millions of dol
lars and the people taxed to pay the same,
was no mistake.
THE people of the South have been com
pelled to surrender their political rights to
the negro, their public offices to carpet-bag
adventurers, and to see their childrens bread
taken from them to feed the negro's dogs.
And still many in the North will say "what
is that W us?'
But bare we not some troubles at home
requiring our attentieu and amelioration.
How long shall we be compelled yearly to
pay six hundred millions of taxes! How
long shall we be compelled to pay gold inter
it at 6 per cent. for bonds bought with pa
per at prises varying from 40 to itt cents on
the dollar? And shall we, as the Radicals
&dare, pay these bonds in gold as they
mature?
Theme are borne riumtione which meet be
settled, let the South rare us it luny.

CoNuaLns adjourned on Monday last to
meet in September. The tariff bill was
laid over, the funding bill passed but not
signed, and the tax bill axed up in some
shape and adopted. It is understood that
Whisky and Tobaccy received special atten
tion in that tax bill. The session, take it
upon the whole, was a blustry one; and,
after all, nothing was done of much lin
partance, it' we pass by the itubeachwent
trial• The Radicals thought to immortalize
themselves in that trial, but they only made
mheniselves look ridiculous in the eyes of
all honest people, and arc today scorned
and disrespected by all unprejudiced and
fair minded men. The Radical party is fast
kinking in the cess-pools of iniquity from
which they will never again rise to curs this
earth.

he wrote an article saying Hiram R. Kline

\V, 11. JActonv. Esq— Dear AA my
brief letter to you of the i tla Tiof July has got
into print, (contrary to my desire, as I said
in tie :Lwow panyiee note, that you need not
then publish ii ) and has calked forth the in
dignant vengeance of my rpmedont friend,
John V. lieeze, who speaks through the
mongrel organ of your place, I desire now to
ask that gentleman, through the medium of
the ancient DnittenAT, whether its state
ments are not substantially correct. Ile
makes no averment to the contrary, I be•
lin e , en d l i e cannot truthfully. Hence, him
quibble about divulging "editorial secrets,"
is the merest bosh imaginable, and none but
a political charlatan would attempt to take
refuge under such a subterfUge.
I desire, however, to advert briefly end
pointedly to a more wilful misrepresen
tation in the last issue of the mongrel sheet
in question , under my own name, supposed
to have been written by the "gendenundy"
John G. Freeze, and flu. which 1 shall hold
him sod all other political falsifiers person
ally responsible. 1 refer to the charge, that
I ever "ran as a rob/weer for the Legisla•
we. Everybody in Columbia county knows
that, in ISO, for what they considered suf
ficient cause, the two Democratic Conferees
and every member of the Democratic Stand
ing Committee, re-called the then existing
partial legislative nomination and unani
mously agreed to give the nominatian to a
Columbia County Democrat for the Legisla
ture. Unsought for,
it was, when fully
made, tendered to theundereigned. These
are the facts of the transaction, and he who,
whether hero or there, again asserts that 1
over was a vefionferr, except to save any
country front invasion, lies, deliberately and
I deem this correction of a very silly and
oft exploded etoty duo to the truth of his
tory, and trust it may prove beneficial to an
pplitical knaves. Again disclaiming any des
tere to interfere with the political affairs of
another county, I must request Mr. Freese
to try to stick to the record of truth—not
the Mack one he has made for many of his
"present associates,"—and leave the Demo
cratic party of Columbia county to manage
their own business iu their own good way,
and that without his diteation or the assist
ance of Mr. "Fortner."
We remark, in conclusion, that whilst it
is manifest, that his article was written for
the mongrel sheet of this wont y, by a weath
ercock who is now in a very tight place, that
it in beneath the further notice of a gentle
man. Yours, fraternally,

some estimating the number at seven ; oth

Thad. Stevens Repudt tes the
Radical Candidates and Plat
form !
In the House of Representatives on the
17th inst., while the House Was debating
the Funding Bill, Mr. Stevens among other
things, took occasion to say
Mr. Stevens (Pa) declared himself in
favor of a funding bill v.bieli should reduce
interest. It' no parson should choose to
fund wider it no harm was done., if any
person did choose to fund at a lower rate of
interest, the I;nvtanmeot would profit by it.
He thought, however, that the lowest rate
of interest should be (Mir per cent ; he did
not think they could get names cheaper.—
He thought it. the duty of the lvoverninent,
with the neeuniulating gold, to expend one
halfin miming the five twenties in advance
of their Killing due. Nu one could object
to their redemption. lie had understood
the golden/an from Illinois (Mr. Ross) to
say that the bonds 3hould be paid according
to the New York Platform. What was
that platform ?
Mr. Ross—To pay the five-twenties in
lawful money.
Mr. Stevens--What do you call lawful
money?
Mr. ROSA —Oreenbacks; this is your doc
trine and 'Mae, you know. [Laughter.]
Mr. Stevens-1 hold to the Chicago plat
form, and as I understand it on that point,
to the New York platform—that thorn
bonds shall be paid just according to the
original contract.
lemlicr—Tlic law, Mr. Stevens, ac
cording to the law.
Mr. Pike—The spirit and the letter of the
contract.
Mr. Stevens—What was that law? That
the interest should be paid up to a cer
tain time at 6 per cent. in coin. After the
bonds full due they would be payable in
money, just as the gentleman from Ilinois
(Ross) understood it; just as he (Mr. Ste
vens) understood it; just all all understood
it when the law was enacted ; just as it was
explained on the floor a dozen times by the
Chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means.
If he knew that any party in the country
would go for paying in coin that which was
payable in money, thus enhancing the debt
one-half: if he knew there was such a plat
form and such a determination on the part
of his own party, HE WOULD, WITH FRANK
BLUR AND ALL, VOTE FOR THE OTHER
PARTY t He would note for no such ewin
dle on the tax-payers of the country. He
would vote for no such speculation in favor
of the large bondholders and millionaires.
He repeated (though it was hard to say it)
that even if Frank Blair stood on the plat
form of paying according to the contract,
and if the Republican candidate stood on
the platform of paying BLOATED SPECULA
TORS TWICE THE AMOUNT AGREED TO BE
PAID TO THEM, and of taxing his constitu
ents to death*;could cote for Frank
even if a worse man than Seymour was on
the ticket. (Much excitement and sensa
tion.
Mr. Boss—The democratic doors are still
open, and the gentleman can be taken in!

Freeze is a "statesman."
How are you STATESMEN !
That is more than we have yet heard said
of Seymour. Col. Kline should have been
the candidate for President and Freeze /br
Vice President. There is vies enough in
them to make Presidents for the next six

LASAITURE. —A felling of lassitude is gen
erally experienced throughout the the sum
mer solstice. Weakly constituted persona
or those of sedentary habits invariably com
hlain of this annoyance. The scorching
eart of tuid-suninier relaxes the system
and reduces the vital energies. It' the pa
tient is of a nervous temperament this de
bility unfits him for even the ordinary rou
tine t.f every-day life. When this state of
exhaustion comes on HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS will prove a safe
and never failing means of strengthening
and restoring the physical organization.—
This health-giving tonic purifies and i; , 'uses
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 arc of the most
beneficial character. The infirmaties of age
are alleviated by its use. It revives the
strength, increases the appetite and gives
vigor and elasticity to the constitution.

country, most always. the nourishment is
inadequate to the wants of the child. In
such tastes this inestimable tonic is wonder
fully efficacious. Its strengthening virtues

properties calculated to impair the system.
and its operations arc at once mild and
soothing.
