Senatorship In Luzerne.
The Democracy of Luzerne will be expect
to redeem itself this fall in the election
of a sound Democrat to the State Senate,
i» the place of L. D. Shoemaker. This
they can easily do, if they make a judicious
and proper nomination. Among the candi
dates asking fur this office is our friend and
feurlos Democrat, Ilmoir flatus, Erg
and we are pleased to learn that his pros
pects arc fair for the nomination, Should
he be nominated his election is sure, and the
Lucerne Democracy will have as able if not
the ablest repre , cntative in the Senate they
ever eluted. It was our pleasure to serve
two terms in the lower branch of thz. , Legis
lature with Mr. limas, and amore faithful
and earnest worker was net in that body.
Be never shrunk from responsibilities, hut
was always found at his post, manfully and
ably battling 1 it justice and Ile al
ways stood by the interests of the laboring
man, never allowing their rights, so far as
in his power, to be trampled upon. The
landlord and tenant act, which was thought
my many would do great injustice to the
poor class of people, was eute,tly and suc
cessfully opposed by him in 1565, but sub
sequently passed and became a law. Hu is
a dear, logical debator, of sound sense and
judgment; and it is the opinion of the
writer that the Democracy of Luterue would
do well to send him to the Senate.
Curtin on Seymour
Several weeks ago we published the tele•
grants that passed between Secretary Stair
ton, Governor Ctutin and Governor Ecy
tuour, at the time tl.e Uunlbderate army,
under General Lee, was invading Pennsyl
vania. It will be remembered that Lineoln,
Stanton and Curtin all expressed themselves
highly grateful to tionniur Seymour for
the pi,npt and efficient aid rendered to
tlovernor Curtin in the hour of his extrem
ity and distress. We are glad to see that
Governor Curtin still adheres to the good
opinion he then formed of Governer.Soy
wont:, and is manly enough to avow his ad
miration of our gallant candidate. We ask
those Radicals who are accusing Governor
Seymour of disloyalty, to put the following
in their pipes and smoke it :
Said a gentleman to 31r. Curtin the other

Mon League dub house in Philadelphia:
"Well, Governor, what is your opinion of
the Democratic Convention?" '1 think,"
said the Governor, "that a stronger ticket
tnicht have been selected, such as Hen
dricks and Hancock, for example." "But,"
continued tho questioner, "what is your

uu replied : "Well, sir, if I were asked to
locution a man who, in my estimation. mos
sossed the attributes of a perfect gentleman,
a cultivated scholar, a thorough statesman
and a sitteere Christian, I could, without
hesitation, mare Horatio Seymour of New
York." "flow about Seymour 'e loyalty!"
"After the despatches thut 1 sent Seymour

Montour County Convention.
The Democrats of Montour county held
their annual nominating County Conittntion,
In Danville, of i Monday lam, which was pre
sided over by Robert Da'Odeon, EN., of
Mayberry. The attendance IMO very re
spectable ; and the prooeedingtWere marked
with good fueling and harmony throughout.
There was little or no context over any of
the offices save that of Treasurer, fur which
office there were soniu four candidates, three
from the country and one from the Borough
of Danville. They nominated a pretty full
County ticket, as follows :
Register and Recorder, Wm. C. John
son ; Sheriff, Robert C. Russel ; Treasurer,
Isaac Ammerman ; Commissioner, John
Bildinc ; Auditor, Daniel I'. Crossly.
Jesse C. Ammerman and W. D. Weldon
hauler wore appointed Congressional Con•

Sours, of Columbia county, for Assembly.
Jesse C. Ammerman was appointed Chair
man of the Standing Committee for the
ensuing year.
The following resolutions were offered and
adopted :

of the Resolutions adopted by the National
Democratic Convention held in New York,
in all its parts, and as a whole, as embody.
ins the great principles involved in the pros.
cut political contest in this nation.
Moot/ cd, That in Dorado Seymour, the
Democratic candidate for President, and
tico. Prank P. Blair the Democratic candi
date for Vice President, we have presented
for our suffrage men in every respect worthy
of the high and reapossiblo position for
which they have been named, and that their
election will secure to the nation peace, to
the States a hap my re-union, and to the
people liberty and prosperity.
Resotecd, That we have entire confidence
in the Hon. Charles E. Doyle and Gen. W.
ti. Ent, the Democratic nominees for Audi
tor General and Surveyor General, and
pledge our united efforts to secure their
triumphant election.
16soleftl, That we have unshaken confi

all honorable means to secure his re-election.
Resoled, That the course of our State
Senator, Hon. George D. Jackson, meets
with the hearty approval of the Democracy
of Montour county.
Re.soired. That Bon. Thomas Chalfant,
our late Representative in the State Legis
lature, by his indefatigable industry and un
remitting attention to the interests of hie
constituents merits the thanks of his con
stituency, and by his bold and manly vindi
cation of Democratic principles and Demo
cratic policy, as well as his unyielding oppo
sition to Radicalism in all its forms and
phases, has secured the confidence of the
Democracy of the District.
Retofecd, That we commend the ticket
this day formed, to the Democracy of Mon
tour county as worthy of their confidence
and support.
After a few remarks by Capt. Brockway
and Hon. Thomas Chalfant, the Convention
adjourned with hearty cheers for the Na
tional, State and County nominations.
RADICAL RASCALITY AT lIARIUSBL'KU.
The Harrisburg Atriut has unveiled a pre
e:uus bit of truuly lull rascality at the capi
tal, that is a very fair specimen of the way
the thieving party which rules and robs the
State num' ,e the business.
It seems that an account was presented to
Auditor General liartranft and by him
audited, passed and paid by the State
Treasurer for $7O) salary due to one A. C.
Ryas as Paster and Folder last session, and
t. 12 mileage, in all a 712. This llyu,s, it
further appears, had applied for an appoint
ment as Paster and Folder, but failed to get
it, and went home. lie never performed a
sivle net AT for the State. He came
to Harrisburg, however, and drew the
amount as stated above from the State
Treasury.
The 11/triet has been endeavoring to trace
out the authorship of this robbery to the
party particularly responsible; but thus lhr
the endeavor has been fruitless. Whether
it is Hartranft, who passed the account;
Speaker Davis or Clerk Selfridge, who cer
tified to it, or Representative Armstrong, of
Lancaster, who appears to have been inter
ested in putting the bogus claim through,
ur who-was principal in the robbery remains
a mystery, and will, doubtless remain so.—
The truth is, these Radical thieves at Har
risburg and Washington are too well organ
ized and disciplined for justice ever to be
able to overtake them. The only remedy
the people have is to drive them from power
and elect honest men.

Another Incident of tinutt.
The father of the illustrious Digger squaw
candidate fbr the Presidency having failed
to give in the Ledger all the interesting in
cideettil in the life of Ulysses, an ex-Federal
soldier, who was in the Army of the Ten
ntiesse, relates the following good one:
On the evening of Sunday, after the firing
had ceased at Shiloh, and Gen. Buell had
disposed of hie forces for the work of the
evening day, he for the first time expressed
a desire to see Gen. Grant, and an aid being
dispatched, that officer, attended by a few
members of his staff, made his appearance,
Grant apparently steady, and this time mi
nus the everlasting cigar. Buell, almost
bursting with indignation, drew aside from
the mingled staffs, and motioned Grant to
follow him out of earshot, when the follow
in colloquy (as reported by two reposing
soldiers, one of them a drummer in an Ohio
regiment, and an intimate acquaintance of
mine,) took place:
Gem Buell—""Well, sir, is this a display
of your generalship ; two-thirds of your
army retinng since daylight, being almost
maseattreed by a su perior enemy, and the
remainder wandering leisurely along the
banks of the Tennessee?" (Alluding to
Gen. iVallace's, which comprised nearly
one-third of Grant's army, and had not seen
the enemy during the entire day.)
"Well, General," replied Grant, "I did
the best f could ; I was not expecting this
attack, and Wallace has neglected either to
move on the enemy's' flank, or come to my
assistance."
Gen. Buell—"You were aware of the
proximity of the enemy • why did you din
patch Wallace on a wil4oose chase while
the enemy are concentrating on your front!
Besides, air, Gen. Wallace denies having
received an order during the day from you.
And now, Grant, if this is the best you can
do,
God help the soldiers placed under your
char ge, for from what I can see you are not
worth the powder to blow you to h—ll."
Buell, unable to contain himself longer,

THE CanPa.--The crops are somewhat
better tbau they were last year, iu Pennsyl
vania.
Wheat will yield one•eighth more and is
of better quality. More acres are sown.—
The quantity is estimated at three million
bushels.
Rye and barley—There is little or none of
either raised, but what there is, is of good
quality:
Corn, from present appearances, indicates
a large crop—one•eighth more than the yield
of last year—of good quality.
Potatoes promise a large yield and quality
better than last year's.
Tobacco—The crop will be one-half better
than last year, and the yield will probably
reach one thousand cases.
Fruits of all kinds are a failure, there
being very little of any kind.
Apples—There will be but one-half the
average crop, and the quality is not good.
Hay—There is an excellent yield, which
is housed in good order.
Oats are light iu yield, and in weight may
be placed at twenty-two pounds per bushel.
From New Jersey we hear that apples are
a total failure, and other fruits are short.
Wheat—The crop is good—one-fourth
better than last year.
There is a fine prospect fur a good crop of
corn.
Oats are exceedingly light—the poorest
crop in ten years.
Potatoes are light ; poorer than last year.
Vegetables and melons are very good.
Peaches arc almost a total failure.
TIIE Age says the revolutionary pro
gramme of the Radicals is daily developing
itself• A carpet-bagger named Coon, in the
Alabama Senate, recently displayed his fire
eating tendencies by announcing that "it'
war must come, let it come—that the Radi
cals would give their opponents a belly full
of it before it was over—and that in the
next war victory would perch upon the Rad
cal banners." Coon evidently let the cat out
of the bag, and his admirers in the North are
now deploring his indiscretion. The Radi
cals desire to got up a new revolution, so
that they may continuo their plunder of the
people's money, but they don't want their
tools to say so.

banathig lbe Seidler".
':venal journals of the Radical party
p , to believe that a large majority
1.7 t
Of the soldiers engaged in the recent war
will vote for their candidates. Their asser
tion of such a belief is a grows insult to the
intelligence of every man who entered the
Federal army. It ispraetically telling them
that they were so stupid that they did not
know what they were fighting for. We do
not know a soldier who does not scout the
idea of baring taken up arms for any un
lawful or treasonable purposes, and any one
capable of reading the Constitution knows
that the sots and purposes of the managers
of the party which has made Grant its
candidate are not only tyrannical, but they
aro gross violations of that supreme law
which every soldier has sworn to support.
A more flagrant cheat was never practised
by political demagogues than that which
the Radical loaders resorted to in order to
get men to enter the army. All their pub
lished declarations of principles were con
servative, and they constantly declared
their devotion to the Union ; now they as
sert that to establish negro equality at the
point of the bayonet, and to get sham elect
oral votes for their party in southern States,
is restoring the Union. Will they pretend
that this is what the soldiers understood by
Union when they shouldered muskets to fight
for it? No honest man, who has a well
defined idea of the difference between free
dom and military despotism, will vote for
Grant. It is certainly no compliment to a
soldier to intimate that he engaged in a
civil war from the mere desire to gain mili
tary glory, without regard to the justice of
the cause for which he fought ; and to say
that it was lawful or just to make war upon
the soutborn States for the purpose of abol
ishing negro slavery is, in effect, to inti
mate that men are utterly ignorant of the
bond of Union which held our States
together. There was but one object which
any one could honestly have in view in
fighting southern rebels, and that was to
compel obedience to the constitutional au
thority of the government. All who entered
the Federal army, and fought for any other
abject, were murderers, and not true sol
diers.
It is now plain to every one that the
Radiosl party did not wage war Fur any
lawful purpose. There is no legal authority
for inflicting any penalty upon a State, nor
upon any class of citizens. Rebels were
personally responsible for what they did,
and could not justly be punished until they
were tried by a jury. Grant, in accepting
the nominations for the Radicals, and in
tzercising illegal military power, has en
dorsed their acts, and placed himself in the
attitude of a rebel against the lawful au
thority of the government. The deception
which he practiced towards the President,
and his giving up the War °thee to Stanton,
were such flagrant violations of his duty
and his word that no honorable wan can
excuse his conduct.
The Federal army was made up of men
taken from the various trades and profes
sions, and the mechanic arts furnished a
large part of it. Many of those who volun
teered were young men full of enthusimm,
and ambitious to take part in what they
were told waa a grand struggle to save the
Union ; and very many of them have intel
ligence enough to rebuke the eharlitans who
now practically declare that the purpose of
the war was to establish military despotism,
to enforce negro equality, and to subvert our
free Constitution.
There is nothing brilliant enough in the
career of Grant to excite military enthusi
asm and admiration. Wielding a mighty
power, be crushed smaller forces; but it
was at the sacrifice of vast numbers of his
own troops, and no owe who follows his
path of blood can avoid a shudder in con
templating the scene of carnage through
which his armies waded.
Neither enthusiasm nor patriotism will
induce soldiers to vote for Graut.—Daily

Ca* the Democracy Win.
As we have seen lately in the Radical
papers numerous estimates intended to show
the certainty of tiratien election, wo have
prepared the following table, giving what
we believe to be a fair estimate of the prow
pacts of our
p arty in the coming struggle.
If Virginia, ens and Mississippi are u•
eluded from the Electoral College, the whole
number of votes cast will be 296, making
149, the number necessary to elect. The
following States were carried in 1867 or
1868, and we regard them as perfectly safe
for Seymour, as in every election held this
year, as in Kentucky, Michigan, Connecti
cut, New Hampshire, and Montana, we
have gained on the vote of last year
California 5
Connecticut 6
Delaware 3
Kentucky
Maryland 7
New Jersey 7
New York 33
Oregon 3
Pennsylvania,. 28
101
We must get 48 votes more to elect Sey
mour, and these wo can easily obtain from
the following States. We do not mean that
we shall carry them all, though we think it
very likely, but we do mean that it is almost
morally certain that of the 102 votes which
the following States cast, Seymour will re
ceive at least 48:
Arkansas 5
Georgia. 9
Illinois. 10
Indiana. 13
Kansas 3
Michigan 8
Ohio
Wisconsin 8
West Vitginia. 5
Nevada 3
Missouri 11
Our reasons for thinking that we can carry
most, if not all of these Stater, are as fol.
lows : It has been demonstrated that the
Democrats can carry Arkansas and Georgia,
as it required 17 days voting in one State
and 7 dnys in the other to carry them for
the Radicals by small majorities. Large
numbers of the negroes arejoining the
Democrats, and better than all, bout one day
will be allowed for voting at the Presiden
tial election. With the military away and
but one day to vote, we may count safely on
Georgia and Arkausas.
In Illinois and Indiana there were no
State elections last fall, but both States were
carried by the Democrats on the vote for
judges and county officers. Theme elections
afford no perfectly certain test, but we may
add that Chicago, which gave Lincoln 14,000
majority in a vote of 23,000, gave last
spring a Democratic majority of 1,000, in a
vote a little larger.
In Kansas and Michigan, there were no
State elections last year, but in last .Novem
ber negro suffrage was defeated in Kansas
by'a majority of' 9,000, and this spring it
mot the same fate in blichigan by 30,000
majority. These votes are sufficient to make
these States doubtful, to say the least.
In Ohio we were defeated last year on the
Governor by 2,983, though we elected the
Legislature : we lost Wisconsin by 4,764 and
West Virginia by 1,281. In these three
States the majority mallet us was 9,028 in
a vote of 635,804. To overcome this ma
jority we must. change 4,515 votes, or 1 in
every 1443. This change will certainly be
made. The elections held this year show
that the reaction of 1867 still continues.—
With Grant as the acknowledged candidate
of the Radicals, the Democratic majority in
Connecticut was increased from 976 in 1867
to 1,800 in 18 S, and the Republican major
ity in New Hampshire of 3,146 in 1867 was
rellueol to 2,486 iu 186 S. These elections
tookplace when we had no standard-bearer,
but Seymour and Blair have added vast
power to the tide. Oregon gave a Radical
majority of 327 in 1866, but in a vote of
22,030 that is wiped out and we carried the
State by 1,209 a few months ago. Ken
tucky ratifies Seymour and Blair by 90,000.
Last year our vote was 90,225, our majority
43,119. On the heels of this comes the
news from Montana that at the election held
there a few days No the Democratic major
ity of 1867 is largely increased. With such
indications of the counter-revolution, we
may regard Ohio, Wisconsin and West Vir
ginia as sure for Seymour.
Nevada and Missouri alone remain. Ne
vada is little more than a county of Califor
nia, and is governed by the same influences
that bare brought the Golden State into
line. In Missouri the Radicals are carry
ing the burden of negro suffrage, and their
defeat is almost certain. Its fact, so denier
slised are the Missouri Radicals, that the
Treasurer of St. Louis, heretofore a bitter
Radical, sought the Democratic nomination
for State Treasurer, so sure was he of a
Radical defeat.
We have not counted the States of Vir
ginia, Texas and Mississippi, casting 21
votes, in which States an election will be
held, and which will go Democratic. Ne
ither have we taken into consideration Min
nesota, with a Radical majority of but 5,344,
nor South Carolina, which recent elections
have shown to be very close. Alabama and
Florida we could have carried, but for the
recent revolutionary movement of placing
the choice of electors in the hands of the

ALABAMA. —Gov. Smith of Alabama, ve
toed the bill authorising the Legislature to
cast the electoral vote of the state. This
raised the ire of' one Mr. Coon, a "carpet
bagger" from lowa, who declared that the
men sustaining the Governor were in favor
of war, and that ho and his friends would
give them a "belly full" of fighting if that
was their genie. Mr. Jones. a Radieal l sisut
a native of Alabama, then flayed the Upon
in admirable style. He declared that if
Coon wanted war, ho could have war, and
the war would last until none of his sort des
ecrated the soil of Alabama. lie said that
he was a Republican, but when war is talked
about and Alabamians are to be slaughter
ed, ha would be !bond on the side of his
own people, those, in this bright and sunny,
but oppressed land, to whom this country
and the govornnient of it justly belong. Ho
said he could raise a squadron of town boys
and whip out anything the gentlemen from
lowa could bring against him. lie could
marshal 20,00 colored men to follow his
banner in defense of Alabama and Alabam
ians. The colored men of intelligence knew
that carpet-baggers were not their friends,
and that a squatter would desert them in
the hour of peril and need. "Carpet-bar
gene" are at a discount in the South at this
time. Even the negroes spit upon and in
sult them. No wonder that General Butler
wished to dub them "knapisackers." But
this will not do.
You may alter their names as oft as you will,
