subscriptions are paid. We arc compelled
to this, in order that we may have the
immediate use of what little profit we, have

tint of our money a year or two on a sub

the actual cost of that paper, is more than
gone. That kind of business has kept and

Grand Army of the Republic.
A Post of this institution, which has
never been anything else than a political
machine to hoodwink and deceive men into
the support of the Radical ticket, was or
ganized in Bloomsburg ou Tuesday evening
of last week, by some truly "Id" chaps
from Danville. We don't see how they got
along without Ilona Geary, the hero of
Snieketville, and who furnished the plan
for Gen. Hiram Grant to take Vicksburg.
But we suppose Hans will be nronnd before
the election and show them how to handle
the "shooting irons" which the Rump en
deavored to appropriate to shoot the MS.
rally Copperheads who refused to vote for
Grunt and Grabtax. This organization has
been in operation in the Western and in
some ofthe Eastern States for several years,
and we take this occasion to caution all our
renders, and especially Democrats, to keep
their skirts clear of it. Whenever a party
has to resort to such means to get votes fur
their candidates, they are certainly in a bad
way, and the thing bears evidence of
rottenness. The true principle of a repub•
limn government is to oppose every secret,
with-Lund, political organization, Every
, ;tizen should have the manhood to go to
the polls and vote for whom he please.. If
Ike must be bound by an oath, he had far
tutor have no vote at all. for he is only a
tool for the unprincipled and unscrupulous.
- Dirty Work - Logan, who tried to raise
men for the rebel army in Southern Illinois,
at the beginning of the war, is the chief
devil of this organization. and its sole object
i•• to elect the Radical ticket. Again we

four out of the live nominees at our late
Democratic County Convention, are warm
friends and supporters of the old DEsto•
('RAT. They were candidates and nominated
on "our line." We believe a good portion
of the County Standing Committee are on
tho DEMOcRAT instead of the Cutumbian
platform. We had not intended to allude
to this matter, but the Columbion under
took to tell the people how the nominations
stood, and failing to give all the particulars
we could not hold our gab, of course not.
:As for the rotambion claiming one of the
nominees, we have no objection, but cannot
exactly "see the point," while all the can
didates were at the mercy of the friends of
the old DEMOCRAT. There is no wiping
this out ; and you folks down town may

you need straightening, we're going to help

The Charges
_Against 'Ledlea*.
m.
The Democratic party bate neither time
nor inclination to halt and answer all the
petty aces nations which Radical ingernuity
may invent, in order to divert attention from
the momottous imues of thiconiest, involv
ing the very existence of the republic. The
Radicals will not be permitted to resort to
the Arab stratagem of rising a grear cloud
of dust in the face of their pawners, and
escaping in the midst of it. They have
had unconstrained control of the government
Ibr the last eight years, and they will be
permitted, under no subtetfuge, to escape
just responsibility for their sets. The Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania will heed the
advice of the able and vigilant Chairman of
the State committee, and drive the enemy
into the last ditch, and keep them there.—
They will charge home upon them.
That they have deprived the Federal Ex
ecutive of his constitutional powers, and
have put unwarranted and despotic power
in the hand of the General of the army,
their candidate for President
They have assailed the independence of
the Judiciary, passing acts to seal the lips
of the Judges and increasing or diminishing
their number solely for partisan endb,and to
obtain party decisions.
They have denied the high authority of
the Supreme Court, and have endeavored
to create in the public mind a distrust of
the honesty of its decisions.
They have attempted to unlawfully de•
pose the President of the United States,
and to place the Supreme Executive power
in the hands of the most dangerous and
violent member of their fraction, he himself
contributing his vote to the conspiracy.
They have endeavored by every species
of threat and intimidation to procure ern•
viction, and have never ceased to create
the impression among the people that hon.
orable Senator, who voted for acquittal were
bribed.
They have accumulated in the Senate of
the United States, carpet bag Judges elected
by the bayonet, in order to renew the at•
tempt to remove the President.
They have deprived the President of the
pardoning power, and usurped it themselves
punishing rebels whom the President hal
pardoned, and whose surrender and parole
of honor had been aceepthed.
They have spread abroad in official reports
the most infamous calumnies of the Presi
dentJor the purpose of destroying the con
fidence of the people in his administration.
They are now engaged in changing the
Union of the States ordained by the Con
stitution, into a consolidated military des
potism.
They have passed a bill through both
Houses leaking it a criminal offense, pun
ishable with fine and imprisonment, for the
citizens of three States, to hold an election
for President, under the pretence that they
are not in the Union.
They have passed a bill through both
houses, putting the arms of the nation in
She hands of the negro militia of the South,
to trample out the liberties of their own
race, and enkindle the flames of civil war.
They excluded States from the Union for
the sole reason that neither by the Freed
men's Bureau, nor the army, can their elec
toral vote be controled.
They have passed an act to deprive the
people of the tree States of the Union of
the r ight of voting for President.
They have shut the doors of Congress on
the Representatives of States and Districts
on the'most frivolous pretexts and have ad
mitted in their stead, persons who were
never elected.
They have establised a Freedmen's Bu
reau, and retained it in operation, in spite
of the remonstrances of the people, in order
to govern the negroes, and maintain their
power in the Southern States.
They have created swarms of civil offices
to prey on the resource of the people.
They have encouraged hordes of carpetbag
adventurers, needy and unscrupulous, to in
vade the South, and by the aid of the mili
tary and Freedmen's Bureau, usurp all the
places in the government.
They have excluded brave and patriotic
soldiers, in great numbers, from posts of
honor and emolument, solely because they
were not members of the Radical party.
They have admitted notorious rebels to
high officials trusts, because they became
instruments in their.hands to do the work
of tyranny.
They hare enacted odious and unworthy
test oaths, and have unjustly relieved from
disabilities such rebels only u adopted their
opinions, and entered their service.
They have destroyed government and es•
tablished despotism of the sword, under
the false pretence that the South was in a
state of anarchy.
They have deprived qualified electors, in
great numbers, of the right of suffrage, and
have conferred it on an ignoront and de•
based race, incapable of its intelligent exer
cise.. $
They have, in their extravagances and
wastefulness, squandered untold millions of
the public money.
They treat the will of the majority of the.
people, expressed in all the recent elections
with contempt, and have hurried on to
more violent and revolutionory measures,
to entrench themselves in power.
They have organised secret associations
of discharged soldiers, to control the elec•
tions, and endanger the public liberties.
They have made false and unjust charges
of disloyalty against the Southern people,
as en excuse for their acts of tymny.
They have made a base and himulated
loyalty, a cover for all their assaults on the
liberties of the people,
Tbey have, by their insolence and tyran•
ny, created in the minds of the Southern
people the fear that ju , ,tiee and magnanim
ity no longer exist in the North.
Their agents have fomented, by every
means in (heir power, dissensions and jeal
°wiles between the two rases,
They bare organized and kept under pay
a corps of spies, and informers, dogging
the step, and traducing the character of
the citizen.
They have violated the rights of the peo
ple, seizing the private lettors and prisms
telegrams of the citizens.
They have panted high tarife, taxing the
people for the Week of nuntopoliats.
They bus, at the IMO GEO, exempted
them same monopollsta from Internal duties

'tan ng their repeated promises to with•

They have urged the most important
measure', through (leavens, under the gag
of the preview question, denying the prix
liege of deliberation or debate.
These are a part only of the long roll of
awns/diens which the people have to make
against the Radicals. When the Demo
credo party ',hall have rescued the country
from their hands, it will be time enough to
stop, and listen to the pureile accusations
which aro all summed up in rebel, oopper•
head, and kindred phrases, which have long
lot all point and pertinence, if they ever
had any.—/furthintrg Patriot.
Tug ECLIPSE.—The total eclipse of the
sun, on August 18, 1868, will be of greater
duration than any eclipse for the next two
centuries. While the sun is almost at the
greatest distance from the earth, the moon
is nearest the earth, and the moon's shadow
will pass near the earth's equator—all cir
cumstances which increase the eclipse either
in duration or extent on the earth's surface.
The total eclipse will commence a little past
sunrise at Men, (Red See,) passes during
the forenoon through India, and ends in the
evening in New Guinea. The longest dur
ation of the total eclipse will be six minutes
and fifty seconds—a duration greater than it
has been for more than a thousand years
back. Most of the European governments
have resolved to send scientific expedition
to India, &c., for the observation of this
rare phenomenon. The English Expedition
left England some time ago; the French ex
pedition will be sent to Cochin China and
Malacca, and will be aided by several ves
sels of the French navy ; the Austrian ex
peditiou will go to Aden. The Parliament
of the North German Union voted #lO,OOO
for an expedition, and even the almost bank
rupt Papal government will send an expedi
tion to India, with the renowned Father
Seechi. Whether the United States will be
represented is not known.
DEMOCRATIC N OMINATION. —We are grat-
ified to learn, that our excellent friend, the
Hon. George Scott, of Catawissa, was on
Monday last, nominated for the Legislature,
by the Columbia County Democratic Con
vention. Gen. Scott is a gentleman of high
character and sound Democracy—such men
the noble Democracy of Columbia only
nominate for State offices—and moreover,
he has had large experience in public life,
having hitherto long and faithfully served
his constituents, to great satisfaction, in the
capacity of a Member of the Legislature
and as Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania.
We arc informed that Mr. Scott was nomi
inated by a very large majority of delegates,
on the first ballot, and from our long and
intimate knowledge of him, we know he
will make an honest and faithful Represen-
Wive.— Williamsport Doily ,S'tamlartl.
RATHER TOO STRONG.—A clergyman,
near Sheffield, has been telling his flock that
unless they un.ke the seats free alike to rich
and poor, the leprosy of Neiman will infal
libly cleave to them and their posterity for.
ever. It is rather unkind of Naaman to
leave such a bequest, and places the congre-
gation in an awkward position, because if
the respectable people do mix closely with
those who pay no attention to cleanliness,
they way suffer in another way, second only
in annoyance to leprosy.
LET all to whom there is anything disa
greeable in the controversy about the pay
ment of the United States Bonds, remem
ber that if there had been no Radical party
there would be no bonds to wrangle about.
Et was the success of the Radical party in
ISGO that fastened the bonds upon the
country, and all the bother we have about
them is chargeable to that party.
THE Radicals are daily growing more and
more uneasy respecting their prospects in
the Southern State& Self-constituted com
mittees are constantly arriving, some of
whom give (to than) doleful accounts in
deed. The fact is, despite the well•laid
plans of Stevens, Butler & Co., there is a
reaction already at work, even amongst the
negrocP, and, unless it shall be stopped,
Seymour & Blair will carry every Southern
State, save, perhaps, Tennessee.
Tni Radicals in Congress recently passed
a bill pardoning three of the guards of An.
dersonrelle prison. These patriotic fellows,
whose bullets used to whistle along the dead
line, have turned Radicals, and following
the lead of Joe Brown, the f o under of the
prison, will vote for Grant. This accounts
for the sudden tenderness of Congress to
wards these "fiends in hu►nan shape" that
once shot down our brave fellows whon they
reached across the dead line for a drop of
water. 'Rah for Grant and Andursonville!
SENATOR FOWLER, in his answer to But
ler's investigation reports, says that the WE
cial record of his doings at New Orleans
prove him to have been a traitor to his
country, and should have been tried, con
victed and executed for his treason. Sena
tors Henderson and busy, in their reply, are
also very severe on the cross-eyed man of
destiny. Spooney Butler is a fit leader of
the Radical party.
TIIE f L ACT.—TIIO clause of the
a t which provided that uo persa kluoild be
disizlittrged whose estate would not pay fifty
per cent. on the dollar, and which took
effeet on the Ist of June last, has been fur

This gives five months more time for the
application of those who have no assets.

GENTL/XEN : When in the city of New
York on the 11th ult., in the presence of a
vast multitude, on behalf of the National
t
Drn
eeenstie VO6Oll , you tendered to me
its unanimous Domini as the candidate
al
for the of fi ce of Pres ide nt f the United
State', I stated I had no w "adequate
to express my gratitude for te e
good will
and kindness which that body had shown to
me." Its nomination was unsought and
unexpected. It was my ambition to take
an active pert, from which I am now ex
cluded, in the great struggle going on for
the restoration of good government, of
haveand prosperity to our country, but I
have been caught up by the overwhelming
tide which is bearing us on to a great pond - .
cal change, and 1 find myself unable to ra
nk its pressure. You have also given me
a copy of the resolutions put forth by the
convention, showing its positions upon all
the great questions which now agitate the
country. As the presiding officer of that
convention, I am familiar with their scope
and import. As one of its members lam a
party to their terms. They are in accord
with my views, and I stand upon them in
the contest upon which we are now enter
ing, and I shall strive to carry them out in
future wherever I may be placed, in politi
cal or private life. I then stated that I
would send you these words of acceptance
in a letter, as is the customary form. I see
no reason, upon reflection, to change or
qualify the terms of my approval of the refs
olutions of the convention.
I have delayed the more formal act of
communicating to you in writing what I
then publicly said for the purpose of seeing
what light the action of C'ongreas would
throw upon the interests of the country.
Its acts since the adjournment of the con
vention show an alum lest a change of po
litical power will give to the people what
they ought to have—a clear statement of
what ban been done with the money drawn
from them during the past eight years.—
Thoughtful men feel that there have been
wrongs in the financial management which
have been kept from the public knowledge.
The Congressional power has not only allied
itself' with the military power, which is to
be brought to bear directly upon the elec•
tions in many States, but it also holds itself
in perpetual session, with the avowed pur
pose of tusking suc h laws as it shall see fit
in view of the elections which sill take
place within a fbw weeks. It did not, there
fore, adjourn, but took a recess, to meet
again if its partisan interests shall demand
its reassembling. Never before in the his•
tory of our country has Congress thus taken
a menacing attitude towards its electors.
Under its influence some of the States, or
mixed by its agents, are proposing to de
prive the people of the right to vote for
Presidential electors, and the first bold steps
are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage.
It is not strange, therefore, that thoughtful
men see in such action the proof that there
is with those who shape the policy of the
Republicanparty, motives stronger and
deeper than the mere wish to hold the pia
!ideal power, that there is a dread of some
exposure which drives them on to acte so
desperate and so impolitic. Many of the
ablest leaders and journals of the Republi
can party have openly deplored the violence
of Congre:sional action and its tendency to
keep up discord in our country. The great
iutereste of our country demand pence, or
der and a return to those industrial pursuits
without which we cannot maintain the filial
or honor of our Government. The minds
of business men are perplexed by uncertain
ties. The hours of toil of our laborers are
lengthened by the costs of living made
the direct and indirect exaction: of Govern
went. Our people are harrassied by the
heavy and frequent demands of the tax
gatherer. Without distinctive of' party,
there is a strong feeling in flivor of that line
of action which shall restore order and cow
fidence, and shall lift off the burdens which
DOW hinder and vex the industry of the
country. Yet at this moment those in power
have thrown in the Senate chamber and
Congressional hall new elements of
and violence; men have been admitted as
representatives of some of the Southern
States with the declaration upon their lip:
that they cannot live in the States they
claim to represent without military protec
tion. These men are to make laws for the
North as well as the South. These men,
who a few days since were seeking as suppli
ants that. Congress would give them power
within their respective States, are to-day the
masters and controllers of the actions of
those bodies. Entering them with minds
filled with passions, their first demands have
been that Congress shall look epee the
States from which they came as in condi ,
tions of civil war ; that the majority of their
populations, embracing their intelligence,
shall be treated as public enemies; that mil
itary forces shall be kept up at the cost or
the people of the North, and that there
shall be no peace and order at the South
save that which is made by arbitrary power.
Every intelligent man knows that these men
owe their seats in Congress to the disorder
in the South. Every man knows that they
not only owe their present positions to dis
order, but that every motive sprining- from
the love of power, of gain, of a desire for
vengeance, prompts them to keep the South
in anarchy. While that exists they are in
dependent of the will or wishes of their fel
low-citizens. While confusion reigns they
are the dispensera of the profits and the
honors which grow out of a government of
mere force. These men are now placed in
positions where they can not urge their
views of policy, hut where they can enforce
them. When others shall be admitted in
this manner from the remaining Southern
States, although they will have in truth no
constituents, they will have more power in
the Senate than a majority of' the peonle of
this Union, living in nine of the great
States. In vain the wisest members of th e
Republican party protested against the tml
icy that led to this result. 11 bile the shish
of the late rebellion have submitted to the
results of the war, and are now quietly en
gaged in the usual pursuits fur the support
of themselves and their families, and are
trying by the force of their crimple to lead
bat-k the people of the South to the order
and industry not only essential to their well
being, but to the greatness and prosperity
of our common country,. we see that those
who, without ability or influence, have been
thrown by the agitators of civil convulsion
into positions of honor and profit, are striv
ing to keep alive their passions to which
they owe their elevation, and they clew! ,
3nsly insist that they arc the only friends of
our Union— a Union that can only Imo a
sure foundation in fraternal regard, and a
eommon desire to promote the peace, the
it l',', and the happiness of all seciene of
our iand Events in Congress since, the ad
joarnment of the convention have vastly
in
ercased the importanee of a political victory
by those who nro seeking to brine back
evonniny, s;mplieity and justice in the ad•
ministration of our national affairs. Many
Republicans have heretofore clung to their
pmay who have regretted the extremes of
violence to which it has run. They have
cherished n faith that while the action of
their political friends has been mistaken,
their motives have been good. They must
now see that the Itepubliean party is in that
condition that it cannot early out a wise and
peaceful policy, whatever its motives may
be. It is a misfortune not only to the coun
try hut to a governing party itself when its
action i,e unchecked by any form of oprohi.
lion. It has been the mierortune of the
Republican party that the events of the past
few years have given it so much power that
it has been able to obackle the Executive,
to trammel the Judiciary, and to carry out
the views of the most unwise and violent of
its members. When this state of things
exists in any party it ben over been found
that the sober judgments of its ablest lead
ers do not control. There is homily nn able
man who helped to build tip the Republican
organization who ham not within the past
three years warned it Penned its excesses;
who has not been borne down and forced to
give tip his convictions of what the inter
ests or the country called for ; or if too pat
riotic to do this, whn ham nut been driven
from its ranks. If this has been the case
' heretofore, what will be its action now, with
this new infusion of men, who, without a
decent respect fur the views of those who
had just given them their positions, begin
their legislative career with wills for arms,
demands that their States shall be regarded
as in a condition of civil war, and with a
declaration that they are ready and anxious
to degrade the President of the United
States whenever they can persuade or force
Congress to bring_ forward ucw arfielei of
impeachment. The Republican party, as
well as we, are interested in putting some
check upon this violence. It must be clear
to every thinking man that a division of po
litical power tends to check the violence of
party action, and to assure the peace and
good order of society. The election of a
Democratic Executive and a majority of
Democratic ineinhersto the Douse of Rep
resentatives would n ut give to that party
organization the power to make sudden and
violent changes, but it would servo to check
those extreme measures whLish have been
deplored by the best men of both political
organisations. The result would certainly
lead to that peaceful restoration of the
Union and the nocetablishnient of fraternal
relationship which the country desires. I
am sure the best men of the Republican
party deplore as deeply as I do the spirit of
violence shown by those recently admitted
to seats in Congress from the South. The
condition of' civil war which they contem
plate must be abhorrent to every right
thinking man. I have no mere personal
wishes which mislead m' judgnient in ro
gird to the pending election. No wan who
has weighed and measured the duties of the
office of President of the United Suttee can
fail to be impressed with the cares and toils
of him who is to meet its demands. It is
test merely to d at with popular currents
without a policy or a purpose. On the con
trary, while our - Constitution tires jurt
weight to the public will, its distinguishing
featiqe is that it seeks to protect the rights
of minorities. Its greatest glory 6 that it
puts restraints upon power. It gives force
and form to those maxims and principles of
civil liberty for which the martyrs of free
dom have struggled through ages. It de
clares the right of the people to be secure
in their persons. houses and papers against
unreasonable searches and seizures. That
Congress shall wake no law respecting the
establishment of religion, or the free exer
cise thereof or abridging the freedom of '
the press or the right of the people to pe
tition. for redress of' grievances. It secures
the right of speedy and public trial by an
impartial jury.
No man con rightfully enter upon the
duties of the Presidential office, fullest, he i
is not only willing to carry out the wishes'
of the people expressed in a constitutional
way, b u t is also prepared to stand up for
the rights of minorities. lie Intuit be ready
to uphold the free exercises of religion.—
lie must denounce measures which would
wrong personal or home rights, or the re
ligious consciences of the humblest citizen
of the !and. Ile must maintain, without
disticetion of creed or nationality, all the
privileges of American citizenship.
The experience of every public man who
has been faithful to his trust, teaches him
that no one eon do the duties of the office
of President unless he ie ready not only to
undergo the falaehowits and 'mimeo of the
bad, but to suffer from the censure of the
good who tire misled by prejudices and
misrepresentation's There are no attrac
tions in such poeitions which deceive my
judgment : when I say that a great change is
game. on in the nubile mind. The amass of
the Republican party are more thoughtful,
temperate and jest than they were during
the excitements which attended the pro-
gress and close of civil war.
As the energy of the Democratic party
springs from their devotion to their cause
and not to their candidates. I may with
propriety speak of the fact that never in
the political history of our country has the
action of any like body been hailed with
such universal and wide spread enthusiasm
as that which has been shown in relation to
the position of the National Democratic
Convention. With this the candidates had
nothing to do. Had any others of those
named been selected, this spirit would have
been perhaps more marked. The zeal and
energy of the Conservative masses spring
from a desire to make a change of political
policy, and from the confidence that they
can carry out their purpose.
In this faith they are strengthened by the
co-operation of' the great body of those who
screed in the Union army and navy during
the war. Having given nearly sixteen
thouand commissions to the officers of that
army, I know their views and wishes They
demand the Union for which they fought.
The largest meeting of these patient soldiers
which ever assembled was held in New York
and endorsed the action of the National
Convention with meaning. they called upon
thegovernment in its policy of hate, (Re
cord and disunion, and interms of fervid
eloquence they demand the restoration of
the rights and liberties of the American
people.
When there is such accord between those
who preyed themselves brave and self-sae
acing in war, and those who are thought
ful and patriotic in council, I cannot doubt
we shall gain a political triumph which will
