TUB rXKCTIO*.
But a short time remains before the
fall election takes place. Our opponents
are no doubt counting largely, and think
that they will accomplish much through
what tbey may think as apathy on the
part of the Republicans of our county—
but they are counting withjut their host
and will find thjmselves very disagreea
bly deceived, when Butler county rolls
up, not only her usual, but an increased
majority for the candidates of her choice.
From evqry part of our county we
have the assurance that the Union voters
understand tho importance of the issue,
and are determined to do their duty.—
Republicans, and well-meaniog men of
the opposition can't be deceived by the
fa'se and dead issues raised by designing
men working under the Democratic stand
ard. There is a fixed determination with
tho Union loving people of Butler coun
ty that tho fundamental principles for
which Union men have contended for
the last fix years shall triumph. Am
bitious and unprincipled men may labor
to decoive and raise side issues, but they
will be foiled in their ambitious schemes,
and union, liberty and justice will tri
umph. In order to make success doubly
sure, let every Republican do his duty,
and all will be right..
"Our Answer."
The article bearing tho above caption
in the last issue of the Herald, is a good
specimen of misrepresentations, but alto
gether plain and honest.
"If Rebels were willing to pay their
obligations, even though such obligations
were incurred iu a bad cause, it proves
them at least honest."
This is more than up expected that
the editor would directly eulogize the
he-roes of the "lost cause." It must be
understood that the debts spoken of d 0
not mean the money they stole from the
United States' Treasury ; nor the arms,
ships, nor munitions of war. Oh, no!
it means the Confederate "promises to,
pay," which destroyed «ur commerce,
put out our furnaces, burned our cities,
murdered our citizens in pens of starva
tion. O lyes; honest to pay suck a debt.
But debt incurred to protect the home
and the head of the worthy gentleman
and the flag of his country is a monstrous
ii ffair and calls forth his agony in tha
cry of "taxes ! taxes !" But tho intel
ligent voter knows it is the party that
favored secession, oppos?d the war and
called it "a failure," —that' is responsi«
ble for the debt and not the party that
fought the battles and won the victory
in the face of Democratic opposition.
The Herald continues, "and if Slave
holders whose slaves were run off to make
up the quota of Massachusetts and other
New England States to save the hides
of Yankees, who brag but do not fight,
claimed compensation, they did no more
than others would have done under sim
ilar circumstances."
This is all very nioe, but the editor
should remember that there was a ce"-
tain ere rure called Jeff. Davis, who once
talked in the same strain about Yankees
being cowards, who afterwards put on
petty coats to escape from their pursuit.
oo late to blow. Jeff. Davis; the battle
is over and the party of the rebellion has
its status.
If the editor of the Herald would
take the pains togo to Massachusetts, he
would find the men there, who wou'd not
fight, belong to the same party with the
sams class of men in Butler county. He
would find them in such districts as Oak
land and Marion, where the Democratic
majorities are, and he would find Demo
cratic politiciins like himself, claiming
that these Canadian Democrats bjui the
right to Tote OS a cftisrn.
Listen again. The same spirit that
eulogizes treason, will of coarse, deride
loyalty.
"As to tho allegation, that this is an
assumed Congress, there is more truth
than poetry about that."
Of eourse it is gross assumption for
the loyal people of the Country to un
furl the victorious flag of freedom over
the graves of their murdered brothers
and demand thnt it be respected. Gross
assumption to »ay to the loyal seedier,
you may vote, and to the Rebel soldier
you cannot vote. Gross assumption to
quell a New Orleans' or Memphis riot-
Gross assumption to declare in the Civil
Right's Bill that "all men are born free
and equal." Gross assumption to sny
that Rebels have forfeited any rights.—
Gross assumption to give. the loyal ne
gro the elective franchise. Why ? Be
cause he fought in the Union army and
against the men that the Democratic
party wish to place in power, who fougbt
in tho Rebel army, er resisted the draft
and deserted to Canada.
Do you see your true position ? Do
you think to close the book of history,
while the blood is yet red upon the bat
tle field, and while the smouldering ru
ins of Chambersburg, and other cities
and villages are visible to all? This you
cannot do. But if you could obliterate
all this from memory aad destroy the his
tory of your country—there are still
10,000 ghosts from Andersonville and
other Rebel prisons that will not down
at your bidding. Starvation, misery, cru>
elty, barbaffnm, death', bankruptcy, ruin,
devastation, murder, assassination, pois
on, pestilence, and treason, will stand at
every election poll, so long as our coun
try remains to warn the honest citizen
never again to trust this Government to
the Democratic party.
When you talk about taxation, you
only point in so many words to Demo
cratic misrule. Had Jus. Buchanan and
li's party been loyal we would never have
seen this mountain oH debt \\ ith him,
it was as it now is with the editor of the
Ilerald — assumption to attempt to coerce
a State. Assumption to cross Mason's
line ; assumption to reinforce Fort Sum
ter. Iu a later day of the struggle it wa
gross assumption to pass a conscription
act. (It was contrary to the Constitu*
tion of the Democrats and had a bad ef
fect on their spleen. Many of them got
a writ of habeas corpus and took their
bodies over to Canada)
Gross assumption to tax the people to
defend the home of freedom and main
tain the supremacy of our flag and the
unity and honor of our Country.
" Gross assumption" to call a slave a
contraband.
" Gross assumption" to make 200,000
contrabands into soldiers.
And now, it is gross assumption to
permit these 200,000 Union soldiers to
vote.
Gross assumption merely,because they
were Union soldiers and will now vote
the Union ticket.
Gross assumption to deprive Rebel soK
dicrs of the right to vote, not merely be
cause they were Rebel soldiers, but be
cause they would now vote the Rebel
Democratic ticket.
Our national debt we are told is Twen»
ty-seven hundred mitl : on. This is one rea
son why we never want again to see the
party in power that brought this calamity
upon ns, that increased our indebtedness
by prolonging the struggle—by giving
aid and comfort to the enemy by calling
our four years of war "a failure."
The Democratic party always prate
about the Constitution—and with them,
what kind of an instrument is it ? A
rope of sand that would not coerce a
State ; that would not preserve the uni
ty or the existence of the Nation of
which it was the Charter. And now,
with them, it will not give the Elective
Franchise to the Union Soldier. In short
the Constitution of our Country with the
Democratic party, was an instrument
formed—not for its preservation and per
petuity, but for its own dismemberment
and destruction. The trut himiy be told
in a few words : We have had a groat
rebellion, to be known in history as the
rebellion of 1861. This lebellion was
conceived and brought forth under Dem
ocratic rule—set up in partnership with
the Northern Democracy to rule the
Country, and after four years of terrible
conflict, they were defeated.
During this protracted struggle the
Editor of the Ilerald can point to " act
of the Democratic party or expressed
principle of said party against said re
bellion or calculated or intended to de
feat it.
The Republican party found it neces
sary to use certain means and to enact
certain laws t<» subduo this rebellion aud
save tho country.
Among the measures, we may mention
—Emancipation, Legal Tender. Suppres
sion of Habeas Corpus, Colored SoUiers,
Soldiers voting, &c.
The editor of the "Herald" cannot
point to one single measure which has
been used to accomplish this grand re
sult, (the overthrow of the Rebellion,)
which the Democratic party did mt po
pose. Then, this party having given
birth to the demon of secession and nura
rd thesorpentine fien4 hto a gigantic re
bellion aud favored every political poli
cy and measure calculated to make said
.rebellion a success, and having opposed
every measure calculated to subdue said
rebellion, now comes after the victory is
won and the Country saved, and joins
hands with the rebel soldiers, leads them
up to the ballot box and demands that
their votes be received. Gives the Union
soldier a kick and a cuff and tells him
to begone. Gives place and position to
traitors. Cheers Jeff Davis and Wilkes
Booth, and kicks all the doble Heroes
like Sheridan out of place. Truly the
Democratic party is the party of treason
and rebellion and history has so recorded
it.
Again, the Ilerald assumes to change
the name of our candidate for Supreme
Judge »nd calls Henry W. Williams—
Thomas Williams who was for the repu
diation of some R. 11. Bonds—this is
small business ; but asit happens, no
person can be slandered by calling him
—Tom. Williams. Tom. was never in
favor of repudiat ing ourLegol Tender
like Sharswood.
If the Herald has the power and as
sumption to change names he had better
change the name of tho Rebel Democrat
ic party. It has ceased to have a charm,
and Congress being two thirds Repub*
lican, the Democratic party of the Re
bellion is a dead letter; and all the
hope it has to-day, is, that the followers
of Jeff. Davis will come to the rescue in
the event of] reconstruction. Shame on
that " gross assumption" that will among
honest Christian people l.ike the citizeus
of our county, try by false statements
and misrepresentations to build up a par
ty that has long ago hurried itself in in
fauiy and has no hope of resurrection
Bare in the Cohorts of treason.
GRIST MILL AND DWELLING BURNED.
About three o'clock p. M. of Monday
the 23d instant, the Steam Grist Mill, in
Clinton tp. belonging to Adam Ekas anp
Jas Rear, (commonly known as the Lai*
din Mill) was totally consumed by fire
A dwelling house situated near the mill
was also burned. We have not learned
any of the particulars about bow the fire
occurred or the amount of the loss sus
tained, but the loss must be considerable
as the Mill was a good one and as is
generally the ca-se this time of the year
there was no doubt considerable grain in
the Mill. It is no doubt a heavy loss
to the owners and will cause a great in
convenience to the community.
The loss is partially covered by an
insurance of 82600 in the Saxonburg
company.
Wo are also informed that Jas. Norris
a worthy citizen living near the mill
was seriously, perhaps fatally injured by
falling from an adjacent building while
assisting at the fire.

permit us to speak at length of the Fair
held near this place last week. We
give the list of premiums awarded.
The attendance was large and although
the exhibition was not as good as it
might and should have been, it was not
by any means as predicted by "Clinton
a failure."
No doubt some changes and different
arrangements aro needed, which we
have no doubt will be made.
' LOST.— A large Brass Key was lost on
last Thursday, some place between BuU
ler and the Fair Grounds. A liberal
reward will ke paid to any one returning
the same to this office.

was increased by -Dr. Neymans Dog
which joined in the chase and. every
body said it was Nip and Tuck between
Music and the Dog—some bet 2 to 1 on
the Dog—The Gray broke but Music
proud of her new competitor bore on, and
made splendid time on the home stretch
and beat canine and all the rest amid
the hurrah of thousands among which
we heard the excited voice of many o'.d
farmers, p'eased with the race 'alheugh
they would prefer a horse that goes his
mile in four hours. Time 2-45} the

FOURTH HEAT.
The New Castle Gray was again
changed to Har_ess and did much bet
ter, many were anxious to see him win
yet, but Music was iu fine condition,
never excited but appeared to know as
well as her rider that there was money
bet. Music had the inside and got off
at the Fourth triai. The gray made a
splendid stretch and passeed Music on
the first quarter and keeps the
lead till the home stretch when Music
nears and passes at the scratch. Here
the Black halls off and Music comes
round it an even pace winning her third
heat taking the first purse. Time 2-45.
This race was interesting the gray was
only three lengths behind on the home
stretch of the last heat, and was not
fagged but the pace was too killing on
its lees.
Two o'clock p. M. came off the paciug
Match best two in three for 25 dollars.

some machinery governed by neither in

like to own a Red Rover, and not be
late to church 1
Next was a trotting match best three

But two ran—Richardson's Gray driv
en by More and Ircn Gray owned and
rode by Bradley of Pittsburgh, Bradley's
Horse under the saddle, and New Cas

COMMUNICATION*.
For tha Citiscn,
MR. EDITOR I had the pleasure of
being present at a social westing of the
members of O. S. P. S. S. of West Sun
bury on tho 13th of Sep. The S. S wan
addiessed by Mr. Louis Wick. Subject;
Development a law in the moral as wall
a* the natural world ; ho was followed
by Mr. G. H. Graham, subject, be sure
you are right, then go ahead," showing
that while intellectual development and
mental cultivations give power; the
moral faculties must be so trained as to
direct our enemies in a right direction
The Rev. W. P. Breadcn and Rev.
Jauies Coulter then followed with re
marks nertinent to the occasion.
Then came to the children, if not to
oihers, a very pleasant part in the affair
in the shape of a collection consisting of
pies, cakes, candies &c., furnished by the
good ladies of the congregation and oth
ers. The performances were varied by
pieces of mu<>ic sung by the school led
by an organ skillfully playedby a member
ot ti e school.
The meeting was a very pleasant one
calculated to inerease the interest felt in
S. S. and also to produce harmony and
good feeling in the vicinity. One thing
I noticed with pleasure, was this, that
many persons were present from other
S. S. and other churches, coming sca
■only to greet us with pleasant smiles !and
kind words but contributing to their and
our enjoyment in a more substantial
manner in the shape of pies, cakes &c.,
i Rational enjoyment seemed to be the
' order of the day and at the close of the
meeting when fhe audience dispersed
many if not all felt an increased interest
in S, S. cause and determined, much as
they had done to do still more to sustain
that important auxiliary to tho church

THE PRESIDENT IN MILDER TEMPER.
The New York Timet special says :
As an indication of the President's latest
temper on the situation of reconstruction
affairs, witness the following abstracts of
his views as recently expressed in oourer
sation with ecrtain politicians who called
upon him for the purpose of urging hiui to
re-open registration in the South. He
informed them that he could not do so
without incurring it certain risk of im
peachment, and admitted that the recon«
truction laws confer on the District Mil
itary Commanders ,sole control orcr regis
tration. His only power of interference
was the removal of communders when
they failed to execute the kiwi in accor
dance with the views ot their legal con
struction. He admitted that tha Dis
trict Commanders are octiag under di
rest authority of Congress in tho perform •
ance of n civil duty and that if he should'
attempt to assume power as Commander
in-Chief to Control tho time of regis
tration and holding eitction, they would
have the right to refuse to obey his
orders, and they wou'd not be amenable
tn punishment for «.illitary insubordina
if thay did so. flj stated that tho
recent promulgation of the Amnesty
Proclamation threw upon Congress the
onus of depriving legally qualified voters
from registry and voting. He hoped
that tho Southern people would apprec
iate it in that light. If any of the par.
doned masse*, he continued, attempt to
register and are refused, tho Courts are
open to them, and they can compel the
millitary to allow them to register throngh
the Courts. If they do uot do so, lie
eomeludcd the fault of their disfranchis
ement is with Congress, as ho claimed
that he had dono all that he could do to
restore them to their right.
