Republicans : See' to it that every
voter of the party is 'at the polls next
Tuesday. Our only danger is in the
want of a sufficient interest in the elec.
Mon on the part of Republicans. The
local contest will be likely to call out a
t'nuch fuller vote than . we should have
had withotit it. But it is. the duty of
active Republicans in each township
to devote the day to the great cause
they have so much at heart. If we
would maintain ourprln,ciples, wo must
wbrk. It will not do to pause now,
thinking that the work is done. If the
Detnooratioparty again come into pow
er, it will epek to undo . the work of re-
eonstructiZ,n. ' It has avowed this pur—
pose. " Eiernal vigilance is the, price
of liberty." RemerniYer the watch
words of the past. Remember the rec
ord of the great party which carried the
government safely through the perils of
'rebellion, and treason at home. 'Work
now' and ever that all these Sacrifices
may not have been in vain:
\ The Democrats are "atill-hunany."—
\ They.7lll have every man at the polls.
They expect to win, if at all,'hy reason
of our inaction. ' Democrats always go
to the polls. We must see that every
Republican is at the polls on the day of
election.
Whose ndidate is S. I. Power?—
Democrats / are pleetioneering for him,
the Democratic paper first nominated
plm, the party having resolved that it
as " inexpedient" to no inate a can
didate for Sheriff, and he i in fact the
only candidate for Sheriff they have in
the field: He will receive the entire
Democratic vote, and he has no possi
ble chance of election save by that par
ty. ,He is as much the Democratic can
didate as if he had been nominated by
the party. What is a nomination ? It
mrus to,name, to designate a candidate
for office. Is it not plain that every
Democrat in the County Convention
knew that it was understood who would
be put on the ticket' for Sheriff? If it
;waft- understood, thei.e was no use of
nominating formally—that is a nom',
-nation iu itself.
Why, nr. Donaldson has been boast
ing for mrthe, that unless Mr. Phelps
were no n
inated for Sheriff; there would
be a split. It was talked long before
the meeting of the Co:invention, that S.
Po4er would be the man whom the
Democrats would take up and run for
Sheriff'. And when: it was seen that
John M. Phelps had. a very fair pros
pect of nominitionin the Republican
Convention, Demo crats, and certain
Republicans who pretended to be
, Phelpimen, worked hard to defeat him.
`That was the game : to arouse as much
`feeling tie possible in the Republican
'party, and yet defeat Mr. Phelps, with
• ' the hope, that by so doing, his friends
:could be led to support Power, under
the pretense that Phelps had been cheer
ted out of the nomination. In this
they were sorely disappointed. No fault
can I?f3 found with the manner in which
.the Convention was monducted. I We
hear this on all sides—from those who
did not vote theyegular ticket last Meer,
as - well as others. Last year the ease
was very different. The „contest be-'
tWeett Cameron and Cox {vas very close.
Here, Mr. Phelps witpdrew frona the
Convention, before a ballot was taken.
Mr. Fish had a clear majority of the
Convention on second choices. '
- Thum it is, then, that S. I. Power
ostensibly and really the Denioeratie
candidate for Sheriff. 'Some Pool Men
may vote for hill "for old aefinaint

HENRY SIIRSAVOOD advocated the
election - of Seymour and . Blair in- 1868,
on •a platform adopted by the Copper-.
head-Rebo Convention of New York,
Willa was the darkest iniquity ever
perpetrated by a party asking the sup•
port of patriotic men.

In the letter for which ho was rewar
ded by the nomination madEZ by NVADt.;
HAMPTON and his Rebel associates,
Frank P. Blair used the following lan
guage: " There is but one.wy to restore
the Government and . Constitution; and
Mat is for the President elect to declare
the reconstruction acts /null and void,
compl the army to undo its work of
usurpation at the South, DISPERSE THE
CARPET-RAG STATE GOVERNMENTS, a/-
low the white people to re-organize their
own governments and elect Senators and
Repr6entatives. The House of Repre
sentativeswill contain a majority of De-•
mocrats from the North, and they will
admit the Representatives elected by the
white people of the South; and with the
co-operation of the President, it will not
be difficuttO COMPEL TUE SENATE TO

the Constitution. . We must have a Pres
ident who will eteeutejthe willof the peo
ple, by trampling into dust the usurpa
lion of Congress, known as the recon
struction, acts."
REPUBLICANS : Here you have the
plan by which the Democratic party of
1888 proposed to re-instate the Rebels in
power! It makes the blood tingle in
the veins to recall hell hold treason.—
A President compel the Senate ! ! A
President declare the laws of ,the land
null and void !
HENRY 84E4woon voted for Sey
mour and Blair, and must be: held to
the endorsement of this treasonable
programme. • •
Tuesday evening of last week, Hon.
Wm. H. Armstopg and Dr. Doane, of
Williamsport,.ad4ressed a large meet
ing Of our citizens in the Court House
at this place.
, There was not a vacant
seat, and welnever attended a more en
thusiastie meeting at a time when there
was so little feeling in politics. We
will not attempt a synopsis of Mr.
Armstrong's speech. Nothing less
than a full report could do it justice,
and that we are not able to give. He.
spoke about an hour and a half,-and
we do not say too much when wti say
- that be enchained his audience with
most intense interest throughout.
He very briefly reviewed the history
of the pai r ly,omd did it in such good
taste as not to weary his audience with
facts and theories Commonly under
stood. -He proved beyond equivoca
tion that it is the decilared intention of
the Democratic party to contest the reg
ularity of the recent amendments to
the Coristitution, and to repeal all the
legislation of Congress intended to en
force these amendments.
He showed, from the official records
of Congressibnal debates, that a propo-
Bitten had been made on the floor of
Congress to provide for payment to the
late Rebels for all property taken by our
army,-and for the slaves emancipated,
amounting, in all, to $3,000,b00,000,
which is far greater than the whole of
the national debt! And that it was
there claimed to be good Democratic
doctrine, and had been heralded as
such in the columns of Democratic pa•
pers..
The 14th constitutional amendment
provides that the Rebel debt shall nev
er, be paid, and therefore, prohibits the
passage of any law providing for the
payment of rebel losses during the
yet Democrats in Congress,
and all
through the land, say that th is amend
ment is invalid and of no effect. Put
the Democracy in power, and they will
demand tljat we either repudiate our
own debt r pay that of the Rebels.--:
The great mission of the Republican
party, wasito secure the fruits of the
late contest, and to provide for the pay
ment of the debt, and the enforcement'
of the most rigid economy in the ad
ministration of public affairs.
He showed how greatly the taxes
have been reduced, how, largely the
debt is diminished, and declared it his
sentiment that all the burden shoUld
not Atli upon the present generation.—
Future generations will enjoy the fruits,
and should share the 'burden.
Re then entered into an argument
upon the tariff question, which showed
conclusively that free trade brings the
pauper labor of the old world In cow
petition with the intelligent labor .of
Oar own country; Be eluoldates the
subject hi , the plainest manner, and
makes:the best - ptopular argument for
the tariti;' as a means of protection to
home industry, we have ever seen, Be
shoWs that the i utrineitir value of a 4on
of itou, and all thevalue except: labor,
is „leis than $2. Then a ten "theft..at
$BO, represents '0,9 worth of h . bor; and
the Importation of every ton frcan*the
old world,'ls equivalent to "the:impor
tation of so much labor, and deprives
our laboring classes -.of, just so much
work. But labor, in England is cheap
—less than half the : price in . this coun
try. - Call it one-half, and English fur- ,
lades can make iron $l4 a ton cheaper
then . it can be made in this country;
therefore a tariff must be placed on iron
to enable American' furnaces' to com
pete. If there be no tariff; they Must
ga out of bled, And thus a vast number
of laboring.then be thrown out of ern-
Ployment: And so it is with all Men
nfaetnred articles when made abroad,
the labor they represent comes in cern
petitiom with American labor, and our
people must either reduce their wakes,
or go out of employment. If the ton
of iron be manufactured into cambric)
needles; or other' articles, the value of
which is principally made up -of labor,
the' reason is all the more apparent. •
Our people are highly pleased with
Mr. Armstrong. No one can listen to
him without being convinced that be
is at once a man of ability and charac
ter—a man who is an honor to his con
stituency, and a Representative who
gives character and weight to his dis
trict in the council of the nation. lie

was poured out like water to revive the

all this, Armstrong was elected bra

THE RE
Hon. a. W. Sehofield, delivered a
speech in Erie county on the 20th. ult.,
the substance of which, taken from the
Erie Diapittch, we riblish below. It
is a consise statement of facts, and we
hope it will be read by all our patrons.
Mr. Schofield said : •
The rifisiion of the Republican party
was not ended. Its mission was still
before it. It was formed not to carry
on war. We had not war at that time.
It was not formed to emancipate slaves ;
the original platform said to limit the
extension of slave territory. It was not
farmed to reconstruokhe Union ; there
had been no rebellio *i. Its aim, first
and last, was to carry` into execution
that first section of the constitution
which declares for the equality of the
human race. We meant an equality of
rights and privileges under the laws;
free schools, free to the poor as well as
the rich, and equality, of opportunity,
not a dead-level of condition which
would destroy enterprise, but the same
chance in the world for all. Briefly re
ferring to the work of the party in pro
viding cheap homes for 'all under the
homestead law, in giving needed help
and protection to industry, Mr. Scofield
proceeded to review the financial his
tory and policy of the party.
The Republican party has been in
power nine years and a half. Its poli
cy during the time may be comprehen
ded under four general' heads: War,
Emancipation, Reconstruction, and
Finance. The first three are complete r
they have gone into history and I- do
not propose to discuss thorn now, The
party is now engaged upon the last, and
I propose briefly to discuss this dry
subject and submit the policy of the ad
ministration to the consideration of
candid men of all parties. I include
under the head of finance : the debt,
the taxes, and the currency. The
newspapers, writers, and debaters of
the country had proposed many plane
and theories. After much discussion the
Republican party has pretty much set
lied upon its course. I will explain It
as I understand it:

What shall be done with the great
debt was the first inquiry. Some eai4
repudiate it, others said pay it in greeri
backs and repudiate or pay the green
backs as might be found convenient, in
the future. President Johnson sent a
Message to Congress, advising that the
interest should be paid for sixteen years
and the principal repudiated. Some
said scale it under the form of ation.
The Republican party conside d these
various propositions and wi h much
I A
nil nimity came to the conclu ion that
it as neither honest nor polit o for the
road people of this great pub le to dim
heir glories with even the a evince
of repudiation. Having se ed that
the debt must be paid, the next ques
tion was to put it in shape to be most
easily handled. It has now many forms
of security, bearing for the most part
six per cent, interest. Congress /ads
provided to to convert it all eventually
In one form of security bearing four per

forts, w ecure two great advantages--
one form f indebtedness and slow rate
of inter s .To fund the debt atthislow
rate of in rest, we must prove to the
world that NIA) are able and willing to
pay it. There is no way to prove this
so effectively as to begin to ay. Gen
eral Grant has begun. During the
eighteen mouths of his administration,
$170,000,000 has been paid. This is
about one fifteenth of the whole. To
accomplish this required great economy,
and during the eighteen months the
expenses of the government have been
nearly $83,000,000 less than in the last
eighteen months of President Johnson's
administration. In a word, this is our
policy about the debt; first,-fund it in
one kind of bond at a low rate of inter
est and then slowly but honestly pay it.
Our revenues are now deprived from
two sources—internal revenue and tar
iff. 'Each system has its offices and its
expenses. The Republican policy is to
colleet them all from one source, to wit,
by a tarri ff . By abolishing internal
taxes we save the great expense and all.
the annoyance and vexation.of the peo
-pie; By deriving all the revenue from
a tariff, we incidently protect home in
dustry and draw to this country the
capital and skill that now manufactures
for us in foreign countries. We thus
make our country populous, rich and
independent. In pursuance of this "'ol
