Be Active.
Buta short time now remains in which
to work for the success of our ticket. We
entreat our friends to be active and dili
gent.
We should have an increased major
ity in this county and nothing but a
ciiminal indifference on the part of our
selves eaij possibly make it less than our
old fashioned majority. There is every
thing to encourage us and make us zeal
ous in the good work. Lot us do our
]>ais to wordi swelliug the Republican
majority in the State. It is entirely to
soon for the resurrection of the Demo
cratic party. Let us postpone it indefi
nitely. They have rested under the con
demnation of the people for seven lciug
years. It is too soon by at least seveu
years to releive them.
The "Ileraur#" Reply.
The Herald has visited us in time
with its "reply."

keeping a standing army in the South.
So did Jeff. Davis and the Southern Con

was then the cry, and now it is the same-
We certainly have no right to govern these
Rebels and tubdue their riots
2d. A nice thing to bail Jeff Davis.
3d. We know nothing about that Suit
in Boston. We have heard of a suit from
Oakland township Better talk about
something our people are acquainted with.
4th. If this war was not right we arc
responsible for this debt—if it was right
then tbe Democratic party'must take
the respons bility.
We are upon the side of the country.
sth. Did the Editor of the Herald
think that if this is an assumed Congress
then, his new appointment, must bo a
gross assumption.
Cth. History now written denies your
assertions on this point, and we can prove
the contrary by any Democratic paper
published dnring the war.
B®"We clip tho following from tho
Press, published by Wm. Haslett:
"The REPUBLICAN TICKETS have
been printed at this office, and placed in tbe
hands of J*uxs T. M'JUKKIN, Esq.. who will
ttend to their proper distribution.
We don't intend, if we know it, to
permit Mr. Haslett, or any other man to
make such statements to the public, for
the purpose of creating a false impress
eion on the minds of the people. The
truth is, one-half of the Republican
Tickets was printed in the "Press" office,
and the other half in the CITIZEN office ;
and were all placed in the CITIZEN office
for distribution under the supervision
and control of Mr. M'JONKIN.
disaffection we un
derstand exists among the Democracy of
this county on account of their ticket.
The idea of voting for a soldier is ex
ceedingly distasteful to many of them.
They still keep alive their animosity to
"Linooln'i hirelings,"
It waa only for the purpoee of keeping
up appearances und if possible catching

The Election.
TUESDAT, THE BTH or OCTOBER, is the day of the Election in
Pennsylvania. Upon this day we expect to elect a Loyal man to
take the place of Judge Woodward, the Rebel Democrat, who
decided that a soldier had no right to vote. No Union soldier will
therefore, forget that his Country calls upon hira once more to fall
into ranks and show a solid front to the enemy now trying to out
flank us bv the votes of pardoned and perjured Rebels under the
lead of Andy Johnson, the accidental and traitorous President.
Let an honest recollection of the untold sufferings of the past
stimulate us to renewed efforts, that victories won by our blood
and treasure may not be lost by our failure togo to the polls.
The legions of the Rebel host are led in this State by Shars
wood, who, in the midst of the bloody conflict, declared our Na
tion bankrupt,—our money, stamped with the great U. S. Seal,
worthless. Rut history records, that in this hour of our Nation's
peril, the Republican party stood firm, and by their own blood,
made good those promises to pay; and, therefore, we vote for
her candidate, Judge WILLIAMS —the Soldiers friend.
Fellow Soldiers, there are associations binding us together,
such as bind no other class of men. The common sufferings of
the camp, the battle fielcl and the prison—all make us of one
mind wherever we may be. Why did the Rebel Democratic
Judg3, Woodward, rule that we had no right to vote? Why did
the rank and file of the Democratic party of this State, say at the
polls in 1864, that we had no right to vote ? Why did they deny
us the right that they now claim for the bloodiest of Rebels?—
These questions can only be answered by saying that their princi
ples, their hope and their purposes as a party were part of the
rebellion itself; and that the men that fought for the Union, could
never vote the Rebel Democratic ticket. Let no lethargic spell
keep a single Union soldier from the ballot box NEXT TUESDAT ;
but think once more of the past. You lost perhaps over four
years of the prime of your lite fighting this rebellion. Think of
the change it has made in your circumstances—the condition of
your family—your own health, perhaps lost forever, or your limbs
maimed or amputated. Think of all this, and if the sufferings
of Bell Island, Liby and Andersonville—of the scenes of Bull
Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg. Chickamauga, &c., and then re
solve, so long as you live, it will ba your first and highest duty to
vote for those who sustaiued the flag under which you then fought,
and oppose the party of Valandighain, Woodward, Sharswood,
Buchanan, Breckinridge, and Jefferson Davis.
As soldiers, we are but a remnant—the QOQ of battles and the Father of
Nations has called our comrades home, and wo shall never again meet until the
great da;, when it shall be our proudest reoollection that we belonged to the Army of
the Union—that we fought for the natural rights of man—that we conquered the
Slaveholder's rebellioa and defeated the Rebel Democratic party.
Citizens who can read that our National debt is now Twenty-seven hundred
million, will spare one da; every year, rathor than see the Government elide into
the hands of the party that robbed our Treasury, our Arsenals and Navy Yards,
and then, by continued opposition to tbe war, thu draft and the Government,
brought this burden of debt and taxes upon us, and who now seek to make us pay
the Rebel debt, contracted to burn our cities and murder our brothers.
The great mystery to the philosopher and philanthropist is that a political
party should exist in the L >yal States of this Nation to d;ty with the record nt the
Democratic party. That men should be found so lost to every sense of honor as to
accept a nomination at its hands, and tint voters should be found so blind to their
own interest and the interest and the purpose of th ?ir existoucj as to support them .
Hut such is humanity that no theory however wiuk :J, unjust or oppressive, once
made a party principle orseetirian dogma, but it will hsve its alvooitet, even to
the destruction of Empires, like Assyrian, Bibylmuo aid I'arthigjaean ; or the
destruction of armies like tho hosts of Pharaoh, Alexander, llanibal, or Jeff. Davis.
The principles that laid the foundation of all our lato troubles were taught by
Calhoun over thirty years ago, That the National Government was no Govern
ment—but a compact, out and from which any State had the right to withdraw at
any moment. This theory wai at once adopted as the ultimatum of the Slave
power, and was re echoed by the Democracy of the North from time to time in the
cry, "Give us Missouri, or we will dissolve the Union,—Give us the Fugitive Slave
Li»w. or we will dissolve the Union, —Repeal the Missouri Compromise, or we will
dissolve the Union, —Give us Kansas and Nebraska, or we will dissolve theUnioe,
—Give us compensation for our Slaves, or we will dissolve the Union, — Do not
elect an anti-slavery President, or we will dissolve the Union.
During all this time they sought by their three-fifth representation—by po
litical corruption in tbe repeal of the Missouri compromise—by Judicial error in
tbe Dred Scott decision—and finally, by secession and lorce of arm-t to rule or ru- !
in this the last home of freedom, and the last experiment of fiee government.
After four years of conflict this error of Calhoun was hurried and the flag of
the Union planted in triumph over its bloody grave. Hut no sooner had our loyal
soldier returned, and the sound of the last cannon diet away, than the Democratic
party of the rebellion, made sanguine by the treason of Andy, come forward and
demand that the Calhoun doctrine of State II ghts be applied to the Reconstruc
tion of the States. That all the rcsu'U of the war be practically lost. That Con
gress shall pass no Constitutional Amendment—no Freedman's Bureau—no Civil
Rights bills—that Calhoun' rebels shall again rule our National councils—and the
only friends tho Union had in the land of Re!>eldom shall bo left to the mercy of
their former masters, who, instead of a three-fifth, will come to Congress with a
five fifth representation for their colored population and again place this nation
noderthe control of the identical spirits that ruled ten yearn ago and brought upon
us the dark days ot the rebellion of 1861,
This would not be earth, if we hid not error to contend with, and we would be
unworthy of an existence if we did not meet it at all times aa men should do who
love the right. Show your faith by your works and vote for Williams and the
whole Republican ticket. The following record of the two parties will assist in re
freshing the mind in regard to the action taken by the two parties during the pe*
riod therein mentioned.

MCLet it be remembered, that in 18G4
the Democratic party opposed the restoration
of the Union by wnr. It declared the war a
failure and taxed its ingenuity to invent
objections and obstructions in order to make
good its declaration. While the enemy
kept up the fire in the fiont it operated in
the rear. The war being over, it opposes a
restoration of the Union by law. The pa

accomplished long ago had it presisted in
its ill advised opposition. It is the only ob

The People H'nrned.
The following article clipped from the
Pittsburgh Commercial needs no com
ment it speaks lor itself. Republicans
should be prepared for every emergency.'
We are obtaining additional proof ev
ery day of the despcrete purpose of An
drew Johnson—not rumor merely, but
proof to which no man should ciose his
eyes, and that should startle the country
as did the first gun aimed at Sumpter.
At a late meeting in Cincinnati, Senator
Thayer, of Nebraska, made the following
statements on his own responsibility :
I have recently been in Maryland and
the District of Columbia, having left
Washington only night before last.
While there I took special pains to in
form myself in regard to the present pur
pose of Mr. Johnson, and obtained what
1 am about to state from reliable author
ity. J declare upon my retpontibility
at a Senator of the United State* that
to-day Andrew Johnton meditatet and
detirpxs forcible resistance to the authori
ty of Congrett. I mako this statement
deliberately, having received it from un
questionsd and unquestionable authority.
I cannot point out the occasion on which
he may attempt to use military force.
It may be to prevent the assembling of
Congres or when assembled, if the House
of Representative pass articles of im
pcachmcnt, or it may be for the pnrposc
of forcing the Southern Senators and
Representatives to seats in Congress.
The question may be asked, "How 'can
he do such a thins ?" You recollect that
six months ago Governor Swnnn of Mai
ryland was elected a United States Sens
ator, and that a few weeks afterward he
declined, giving grave reasons of State
an the cause. It WHS that Lieut Gov.
Co* of that State could not be trusted
lor Johnson's purposes. There is today
a standing army in Maryland, an organ
ixed Militia force, su:h as no other State
in the Union has. oflicared mainly by re.
turned Rebels. When the time eomes
which be looks for, under some pretense
Johnson may declare Maryland and the
District of Columbia under martial law,
is and call upon Governor Swann
to bring forth his militia. There is
nothing that will deter Johnson f-nin hit
purpose, except when the issue conies
that his his courage may fail. I make
this statement ihat the American peo- |
pie may know the danger that threatens
their peace and safety. If Pennsylvania
and New Yoek give Democratic major
ities in the coming elections it will em
bolden him to carry out his purpose; and
I hope that you, the people of Ohio, will
be warned in time, aad so cast yuur
votes as to rebu'te and prevent the mad
designs of this bad man who is now
acting President of the Hotted States
This accords perfectly wiih our in for
mation through reliable private touro?»
from Washington. Kvery outward in
dic«tioo as well as the recent course of
Mr. Johnson tends to confirm its truth.
And to such testimony nothing should
be required to rouse the people to aot a*
one man to insute that which will arrest
the danger— the defeat of the Democrat
it party.
In Earnest.

The' failure of fli« constitutional
amendment leafing tlie vital Questions'
it was meant to settle still at is&ue , the
continued restlessness of the insurgent
communities ; their manifest dependence
on the aid of Johnson for countenanee
and support in withstanding- the will of
Congress; the incessant, varying «-
temmpts of the President to weaken and
divide loyal men-by threats, bribes,loph
istry, lies and hvpoorisy ; the faßtittatMT
and disloyal efforts and utterances of the
so called Democratic party in the North'
and tho consequent protraction of our
troubles are all considered afresh and'
together, and are regarded as furnishing
good ground for auxiety and alarm.
Men see tnat to this there must be an
end, aa they remember that but (wo
years ago the visible causes of the pres
ent dangers were not only not in exist
ence but were not apprehended, and
that to the voluntary meddling, the de
liberate usurpations of a single man, we
owe all the perplexity, estrangement,
difficulty, and delay, which have hith
erto embarrassed and which n6w im
pede, they are ready to assert the prime
necessity of achieving a peace by bi»
civil dettruction.
Tho partisan, who signalised his so«*
cession to office, at an hour when mill
ions were weeping for the great mas'
fallen, by the boorish declaration that
"he would not be Abe Lincoln's admin
istrator," who reminded a Southern dep
utation, with a chuckle, that be and they
like the Roman Augurs, could tlot ex
change looks without laughter, has am
ply redeemed his word in the one ca>*
and proved the fitness of his self ap|.re«
ciation in the other. 110 has dot beon
the administrator of the policy of the
hie l'resideot, nor of the people's for

sire to evince a' petty smartness whieh
doubtless, adorned him when a tailor
alderman, he has created confusion by
his wish for change—anxious to achieve
at last, a place for himself in the charm
ed, social cirolo of the aristocrats
pised, hunnned, and insulted, him, by aff
ecting a comtauliity in imposture and by
actively endeavoring to secure for them
safety from peril and eotitinuance of
power, he has played with the interest*
of a nation as with the baubles of
a child. He has exhibitied, through
out the servility of a sycophant, but
wrought through the effioutery and men*'
dacity of the demagogue. Happily he
has, measurably, failed in his most eher
i.-hod purpose
labels, as a body, are not quite as yet
the equals of loyal men while liviug, nor
' arc they to the full as esteemed when
i dead. Hut who doubts that the author

. The measure of Andrew Johnson's imq
, uity, we think and hope, is full. The
people whose confidence he won by falx*
pretences, whose powers he usurps,
whose will ho thwarts, whose interests
he betrays, whose hope he mocks, and
whose repeated warning* he will
not heed, have no resource left bnt to
declare in assembled Congress the TS»
cancy of the office he has proatituted,
, the lapsing of the power he ha* abused.
