large turn-out is expected. Several weeks
ago we gave notice that we would erase feozu
our books all these who did not within a cer
tain time pay their subscriptions to the Dim-
MI IT. WV have been as good as our word,
so far 33 wo have been able, to run carefully
over our books. If there are any persons
receiving the paper who have not paid hst
year's subscription, or rr.i this, they should
attend to the matter immaiattly, as we arc
bound to reach their names. Every man who
reads this notice will know at once whether
he owes us or not, and if his account is not
square we desire that it be looked after at
his earliest opportunity. Scud the money
to us by mail, or by hand, with some one
who will attend Court, if you should not
come to town next week. The publishing
of a newspaper is a cash business, and in
order that we succeed in the business, pa
trons must pay us promptly. This thing of
sending out papers fir the love of it, 14 -
sides the name of having the largest sub-
Kription list, is "'played out" with us. We
want our pay now, and if there is any mom
in the publishing business we want to make
it.
REMEMBER TIMES GONE By,-Souleof the
Republicans really have the impudence to
approach Democrats for their support for
Grant and Colfax. Just look at the um
bounded impudence of these men ! No less
than four short years ago, these same Re
publicans, when speaking of a D,llloCrnt
alto hail independence suffieient to defend
his principles opeuly, would say, "never
mind, he will soon be put where the dogs
won't bark at him—it will only cost three
cents to send him there—a letter to Mr.
Reward, will be all sufficient—Seward will
ring his little bell, and off the secessionist
goes." Democrats, you all remember this
sad time yet; and take our word for it, the
same times will be reinstated should Grant
be eleeted. Now is the time to act.
C© t.. 1 .. A. MAcKEr received the nomi
nation for Congress in the 18th Digrict, on
the 26th nit. Col. MACKEY lives in Lock
Haven, Clinton county. and was nominated
without opposition. JOHN W. MAYNARD,
Esq., carried the Conferees of Lycoming
county, but with an understanding that they
go for MACKEY. This nomination is said to
be a strong one, awl the Democrats talk
confidently of electing their congressional
standard bearer. We hope they may. That
District has been ruled in Congress about
long enough by a man no bettor than a "car
pet-bagger."

passage of a section in the appropriation
bill, to protect the State Treasury against
the incesantnssaults made by the thi e v e s,

General flartranft deliberately violated that
law, and left the plunderers gorge themselves
on the public treasury. Hartranft is the

The Nest York Arta which hart until
recently been a powerful advocate of the
eluetien of Oen. Grant to the Presidency,
publishes the fidlowlng despatch from Wash
. legion, showing the utter hopelessness of
the Radical party.
"All the advice' received here recently
from the South represent carpet•bagism as
on its death bed. With the exception of
Florida and South Carolina all the Southern
States are conceded as certain to go for Sey.
mour and Blair. The radical organizations
in the reconstructed region are dwindling
away rapidly, and defection has reached
their very stronghold with such alarming
results that the carpet bag heroes see noth
ing but ruin ahead,. They have discovered
their great weakness in the very spot where
they looked CI an impregnable tower of
strength. The negroes whom they relied
upon as their right arm of power have be
come disgusted and proclaim that the white
radical is a greater enemy to them than the
white rebels who were lately their masters.
The most intelligent blacks, therefore, have
determined to join hands with their old
masters and thus drive away the carpet-hag
adventurers from the south to their native
element. This repudiation of radicalism by
the colored citizens is overwhelming the re
publican leaders of the South, and conse
quently they are beginning to realize that
they have been caught in their own trap.
Several shrewd republicans who have just
returned from different parts of the South
admit that Samba has turned the tables
upon them completely and that now their
only hope of success is in the North. This
last hope seetus not to have a very firm
hold of them either, judging by the manner
in which they write to their friends in this
city. The correspondence sent hero from
different States in the Emit and West by
radical simpers and managers is of the
most desponding character. They admit
that Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio are
kizt to Orant and Colfax beyond reilemptioh
and one of them declaim that Illinois will
go the same way unless strong efforts arc
made to NM it. Logan's defeat as Con
gres-man at large from the State is spoken
of as certain, but the electoral ticket it is
urged, may be carried by clever engineering.
The most sanguine republican I have seen
here from Colfax's State only figures up a
republican majority of three thousand in
Indiana. This republican is one of the
most shrewd and influential politicians in
the State of Indiana. In fact the impreo,
sion is very general here now that Seymour
and Blair will be elected by a very deeissive
majority, because the people of the country
are determined to have a change anyhow.
Give us Old Times
Give us back the days when the husband
man sat by his cheerful evening Gre,nr rested
nn the ground beneath the tree planted by
those long singe dead, and read not of the
bickerings, dissensions, strifes and plunder
ings, but of a great and glorious Union of
States, each one peazteful, industrious and
happy.
tiive ns back the days when the dignified
and contented matron sang olden and light
hearted ballads as she made the spinning
wheel hum so lively, and had no care and
anxiety as to how her husband could pay
the taxes, or the children be educated.
us back the days when the crafts
man merrily whistled at his labor, knowing
that whatever he earned would come to him
in clinging, yellow gold when the week
closed.
Give 119 again the days when our rulers
drew an honest balance sheet with the peo
ple who placed them in power, and spent
not their time in studying how to plunder
and cheat the hard-working tax-payers—
when great and good statesmen raised their
voices in the halls of the nati=on and spoke
gratefully and truthfully of the bone and
sinew of the country.
Give us the days when the rich were taxed
as well AR the poor—when wealth was made
to contribute to the fullness of the people's
treasury, and the few could not overreach
the - many.
Give us buck the long, long years that
glided IT so smoothly and evenly under the
rule of Democratic statesmen—when no in
ternal struggles brought brother in contact
with brother—when father was not pitted
against non—when America was respected
far free government, and feared from the
bravery of her sons.
They will soon come back ! The people
arc tired of blood, and turmoil, and high
taxes—have tired of the robberies and mur
den engendered by a frstricidal war and
they again wish peace and contentment.—
They arc rising in every town and hamlet,
shaking off the public leeches that have
drained their blood and money, and are
wondering why they slept no long. The
present party has reached the length of
its rope—it can go no further. For eight
long and weary years it has never raised a
voice for the people—never cared aught but
to fill the poeketsof its leaders—never sought
to lessen in the least the enormous burdens
of the struggling tax-payers. A new sun
will dawn in November, and the old-time
party will again be trusted and honored by
the people whom it ever protected and
cherished,

ANOTIIIR JOURNALIST Croat —John D.
Mendenhall, Assistant Editor of the Doyles
town Democrat, died at Doylestown Pa., on
Monday, 17th ult., aged 54 years. Mr.
Mendenhall acted as editor of the Democrat
during the three years that Gen. W. W. H.
Davis, the proprietor and present editor,
was in the army. Mr. Mendenhall was an
able and energetic journalist, and conducted
the paper. which is one of the best weeklies
in the country, with much ability. His
health has been delicate for a' long time
past, lie was originally from Chester cow.
ty. The West Chester Jeffersonian says of
him
"Mr. Mendenhall was naturally of a kind
and amiable disposition, and a Intl of
nterliog integrity. No one could know him
without respecting him• He had for years
been a faithful and sincere member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and he died
as he bad lived a truly Christian man,"
Wi are informed that Dr. Waldron, of
Milton, will bays this sewn about 1,000

Nothing a% be MOM Plain than that the
editors of Itepubßem papers believe the
rank and file of their, platy to be so stupid
that they will believe'everything which they
tell them. Who would believe, when the
Declaration of IndependimegA4 in ovary
house, and 'very voter may read it, that
the conductiir of a newspaper' would have
the audacity to assert that Thomas hirer
son would favor the establishment of negro
suffrage at the point of the bayonet in
States where the people are almost unani
mously oppo.ed to it, and that to establish
negro equality, he would have sacrificed
every important principle of our national
constitution? The l'ittshorg Gwelfr does
this ; but it does not tell its simple readers
that Jefferson, as well 04 most of the lead
ing men who adopted the Declaration, were
slaveholders. How the wretched dema
gogue who makes Opinions for the Repub
licans of Allegheny county presents Jeffer
son's views may be seen from the following
extract :
Among the truths which our country de
clared to be self-evident on the day in which
it wok its place among the nations of the
earth this stands first and chief
"ALE. MEN ARE CREATED EQVAL."
This was no rhetorical flourish, as slave
holders subsequently contended, but. the
deep and settled conviction of the great and
generous men who signed the Declaration
of Independence, as it certainly way that of
Thomas Jefferson, who originally drafted
that eloquent and solemn state paper.
It is true that some men wore at that day
in the condition of slavery • and no man
then living more sincerely 'lamented that.
NI than Thomas Jefferson, as his writings
abundant] ; attest, and with almost pro
phetic ken he tore saw and spoke of the im
pending wrath of heaven on account of the
great wrong. "I tremble for my country,"
he said, "when I remember that God is
just." We have seen and felt what he
feared.
How the innocent readers of the Gawite
would stare if the editor of that paper should
have the candor, to tell them that Jeffer
son's views of government were the same
as those of Calhoun and Jefferson Davis,
and that the Declaration of Independence
justifies the resistance of the southern rebels
to the Federal authorities in the recent war;
and yet it would be but simple truth it would
tell. It is careful not to soy that Jefferson
enunciated, in the Declaration of Independ
ence, the principle that goreenmenti de ke
theirjost po t rer.4 only front the comfort of the
gorerowd ; and that when any people believe
themselves to be oppressed by any f o rm of
government, they have the right to chinigr
and substitute for it another one in accord
ance with their own views.
It is not possible to find in the English
language a document which more plainly
and palpably condemn+ the whole conr-e

There has been considerable excitement

one from Bay City to Detroit, and the other

for both have been taken, and most of the
money for their construction has been raised
and in time most- likely both of them will be
built; but it is thought that the one from
Saginaw to Port Huron will be built first,
and that it will he commenced soon. I have

This "looks very well on paper," but un.
fortunately for General Ilartranft and Mr.
Grow, the public records show that the
Radical party, instead of applying the peo
ple's money to the payment of the State
debt, have squandered it for other purposes.
Gov. Geary, in his last mm] ate sage,
states that the total State debt in 1r66 was
:;5,t122.iiii2.1i1. Auditor General Hart
ranti, in his annual report for 1667, says
that the amount in the Treasury, on the
30th of November, 1867, "applicable to the
11:01t nI bAill a of oevrilue loans," WAS
c;,!:37,97s 55. Now, it daring the inter.
yttr, Trani 30th of November,
to :0 It November. 1:467. the liatheals had
not mr,-eased the State debt, it would have
:,t the fatter date, at the precise sun

Deduct balance iu Treasury,
applicable to payment of
over-due loans, Nov. 30,
2,937,978.55
$32,684,073.61
But instead of fltiq sum, the Auditor
General fixes the debt on the 30th of Nov.,
1867, at C 14,766,431.22, and in his reply to
Grow, says that on August 5, 1868, it was
f• 33.1151,657 37. Now, we have shown that
if the debt had not been incretrseol during
1'467, it would have been but $32.684,073.-
61. or 84tti7,563.86 /cm than Gen. liartrant't
says it. was on the sth of Augtvit, ltsOS, prov
ing that the debt has inereased nearly vote
since the 30th Normher, 1866.
But we do not stop here. The Constim•
lion provides (Art. XI, Sec. 4,) for the
creation of a Sinking Fund, to be ap•
plied to the payment of the rincipal
and interest of the State debt. In seem--
dance with this provision of the Constitu

enacted a law providing for the creation of
a Sinking Fund. It is this enactment that
leis enabled the Radicals to do what little
they have done toward paying off the debt
and to dispense with the tux on real estate.

were they applied? This is a question

officials. and to wind' they will demand an
honest and straightkrward answer.
Substract this sum from the amount of
the State debt as it stood in Isoo, and in•
stead of $34,651,637.47, which, according
to General Rartranft, is the rum of the debt
at maw, there would remain but $12,022,-
096,50, thuo:
State debt in 18G0 $37,969,847.59
Amount set apnrt for Sinking
Fund, since ltid9 25,347,751.00
$12,625,096.50
Instead of this, Oen, Hartranft assures
us that during te eight years of Radical
administration, the debt has been decreased
but $4.2114,207,01 showing that upwards of.
TWENTY-ONE MILLIONS of the re
ceipts of the Sinking Fund have been used
for other purpnses than the reduction of the
State debt. Will somebody explain what
those purposes were, an d . whither those
twenty-one millions have gone?
Meanwhile, let it be remembered, that
from taxes upon real and personal estate,
from war loans, from payments by the Uni
ted States, and from other sources of rev- I
enue , as per the reports of the Auditor len
eral's office, there were rcerived at the Tree-
sury since 1860. $13,107,531.91. Add this
sum to that which shonkl hare been set
apart for the Sinking Fund, and we have a
total of receipts nt the Treasury, exclusive
of loans, since 1860, of $38,455,282.91. The'
war loan under the acts of April 12. and
May 15, 1861, increased these receipts to
$41,930,2142.91, and the loan for the redcmp
tion of the over-due bonds, increased th(u
to $64,930.242.91, or to nearly double the
amount of the State debt in 1960. Out of !
these receipt s of nearly SIXTY-FIVE
MILLIONS, notquite four and a half mil
lions have been filtered into the Sinking
Fund for the reduction of the State debt !

"the interest is stopped on 6.151,641.13 of
the State debt." But he conveniently for

THAT WILL SCIT.- Yesterday afternoon
the trial of the libel suit against the cditors
of the Standard was continued until next
sessions, on account of the absence of ma•
terial evidence. A portion of the members
or the g rand jury publish a card in which
they disclaim being actuated by political
motives in finding a true bill. This may be
true ; but it looks strange that every vote
given in favor of a true bill was cast by a
Radical.

A FEW weeks ago the Radicals started
the cry of "copperhead" afresh, but the
Democrats took it so good naturedly that,
finding it had lost its significance, they
have generously dropped it, and now resort
to the old term, Democrat. Well, gentle
men, call us what you please. "A rose by
any other name would smell as :tweet," and
a Democrat will be a Democrat—a friend of
peace, prosperity, the Union, and the Con
stitution— whether you style him "copper.
head" or anything also. "Call us pet
names."
