now and then, an occasional sermon
from any Uiluister, who happened to lie
travelling through the country.

"Why so, satiny?"
Why, be used to chop his trees_ off
about three feet from the ground and
I . 6ave the stumps standing in the way
of the plough, just as -they do on our
place; and they would sprout afresh,
and muse him trouble, only he has got
a stump machine and pulls thein up by
the roots. He say's that that ends the
mischief and injures nothing but weeds.
Is he not a _Radical ?" -
—We agree . ' with friend .Palishva
mand that. his neighbor is a genuine
Radical.
Attempts Will he made in localities
‘vhere the Copperheads are in 'a minor
ity to trade votes on the local ticket for
votes on theiSta.te Judicial ticket. The
Copperhead local ticket in this county
is intended Otrade upon,ln catmint ion.
It would lit cheap enough could they
4et tt vote ft r Sharswood by voting for
one, or all of the candidates on our
county ticket. - The hope of that party
centers in the election of ::-11arswood.
The leaders do not expect totflect a man
on their local ticket, of codilse. lloiv
ever misled they may he as regard's
the political issue of the day they are
not green -enongh to expect that. No
man on our ticket needs Copperhead
votes, ii»d we hope no candidate will
receive such a vote. Trade •with u.no

Slate-Rights has been the stone of
stun►bling and the quicksand slough of
this nation. Born under the old Con
federacy, nursed by the enemies of
Washington and his administration,
adopted-by John C. Calhoun, and de
veloped into armed rebellion by Jeffer
son DaVis and his Democratic co-work
eN in 18111, it still threatens to rend the
nation into fragments. Not With the
pretence of prophecy, but as enjoining
vigilance upon every friend of Liberty
on this - continent, we repeat what we
have so often declared, that unless the
people destroy the State-Right3 party,
that party will destroy the Republic.
This is the enen►y isvhich menaces the
country to-day. Its ranks are tilled up
by all tho',..e melt who can see liberty
only in the garb of license ; by men
who stimulate local pride and loyal in
terests as against national sentiments.
De►nagogues are always zealous for the
rights ofa State, Without reference to the
peace ofa.► community of States. Such
men often put the freedom of a single,
citizen above the security of a million
of citizens,
Sift do vti the issues which divide
parties to- -tY, and the disturbing resid

doctrine of State- 4ig li ts. It is the cock
;
le, clies.-, and cheat, which adulterate
Anlerican politics. Either it must be
utterly destroyed or it will dissolve the
Union in less than ten years.
Judge Sharswood, the Copperhead
candidate for supreme Judge, has been
a disciple of Calhoun . for more than
thirty years. This accounts for hi s
being made the candidate of tbe copper
heads of Pennsylvania ; for in the State
Courts are constantly arising these
cases whichinvolve State-Rights. Bad
as his decision against the Currency of
'the republic in 1864, was, it iS of little
consequence compared with his known
State-Rights proclivities. Slavery was
a great evil, but that is done. , In its
blopoCit never menaced the liberties of
the nation as State-Ritz:ids does this
day. The people must take this mon
ster by the throat and strangle its life

The long expected amnesty proclama
tion by the President has made its ap
pearance. As a work of art, under the
prdssure of cheap stimulus, it 6 worth
.printing; buy as by the law of last De
cember, the power to issue a proclama
tion of amnesty was taken away from
the President, Mr. Johnson is about to
be laughed at by the American people.
He evidently forgot that this law of
Congress W 219 in existence. Unless Mr.
Johnson withdraws this proclamation
he will be Impeached and set aside, as
sure as he is alive, before December.
It is a little remarkable that the procla
mation admits to all rights tho iuen
who have perjured themselves by vio
lating their former amnesty oaths. So
true it is that crime has a sympathy in
common.
'Montana Territory has always given
a Copperhead majority. It is a mining
region, and like all gold and silver dig;
giugs, is peopled by aset of adventurers,
in the main. jSuen-111C11 usually vote
the Copperhead ticket. Whenever you
get into a territory peopled by farmers
and mechanics you will find a Ropubli
can Territory. We shall expect tic) help
front Utah or Montana until Mormon
ism is dead in the one and gold digging
played out in the other. Happily, the
Republicans do not need either at pres
caxi ,
The fearfuin - ohie - fiiade by the Dem
ocracy crier the election returns from
California remind us of an Old saw
which reads thusly :* " Men are like
hugles; the more brass they contain the
more noise they make, and the further
you can hear them." That tells the
story in few words.

The American Cooking Stove.
XFTER twenty years experien6 in the man
ufacture of stoves, wo became convinced,
itu° six years since, that a vast amount of
Honey was being expended by the peoplo of this
c?untry, in buying cheap and worthless stoves, a
Urge portion of which was wasted; and that
thus economy consisted in buying the best stoves
Oat could bo made,
notwithstanding the .pricy
vas higher.
,With this view,- we Proceeded to
onistruct the American Cqbking Stove, and
Oared no pains or expense t 4 make fit the best
sad most perfect stove that could be made. And
efe have experimented with it, and carefully
;fetched its operation for.the last six years,
and
iihen an improvement sugeoated itself, we have
a enCii - iideptedliAnd we have several of these
iseproveneents speared , by loiters. patent. In
this manner we do not hesitate to say, wo have
bought it to a higher state of perfection than
hes heretofore been attained in cooking stoves.
Do recent improvements in this stove has•
added largely to its convenience and effective
ness. In all the-varieties of stoves we manu
facture, we study usefulness, durability, conve
nience and, economy in operation, rather than
cheapness in price,- and in so doing wo aro satis
fied we study the interest of those purchasing
our stoves. SHEAR, PACKARD, & CO.,
