." OF CUMBERLA ND COUNTY.
' THE TWO PLATFORMS.
It is seldom we deign to notice the
low, dirty, schemes : entered into by the
copperhead party to accomplish their
desired ends, but the case betoro us is
one of bo flagrant n character, of suoh im-
becile design, that it compels us to say
some little concerning. Ye observe of
late, a card in circulation among the
citizens of our community, entitled the
"two rr.ATcoitMS." Upon its face is the
picture of a white man and a nogro side
by side, under tho former the words,
"Clymer's platform is for the white man,"
and beneath the latter, "Ghaky's plat
form is for the negro." Upon the back
of the card are the names of a great
many of our Representatives in Congress
and the Legislature who have in soiuo
measure befriended tho blacks ot our
land. A more minute description than
this we have not time nor inclination to
give, all we wish to do is to herald to
pttblio the wiles and infamy resorted to
beneath this cloak by the unscrupulous
and venomous political demagogues who
are recognized as tho leaders of tho cop
perhead party. They expect that pio
turo ot tho daikey to accomplish a great
work fr them in the comins crisis, it is
"tHe "magnet by which they intend to
sliape thoir course. You honest, sturdy
farmers, you men ot Greene county into
whoso hands those missives of treason are
intended to fall, to yon we say, hurl back
the imputation conveyed 1 Is it not a
. tlur upon the Demooratio party t Doos
it not plainly say, "we tho leaders of the
Democratic party, knowing that those
who uphold our doctrines among the
masses, ate an unthinking, non-reading
ignorant class ; we deem it an ensy mat'
terto'sway them by any pretext or do.
' sign whatever 1" Most truly it does,
v TKey laugh in their sleeve to think how
easily they dupo you. They have no
interests common with your own, they
merely wish to accomplish their own
purposes, it matters but Utile upon whoso
heads fall tho consequences. Most hap
py are we to note that the recoil is ope-
. rating with far moro execution than the
; -'''discharge. . We arm not fo base as to
.thinktliat all thore who call themselves
" Democrats are the kind of men their
v,prAtettded 'leaders take- them to bo,
Among many classes the namoof De-
( , hiooraey is an hereditary ono. A nrtme
hicff they disliko to yield, and if still as
pprg arid taii'ilfcd as in tho days of
. Jefforson'Miame which wo wouiu not
Ca 'ton'atiy ono to part -'with. But
"tliosO days of pure Democracy'' are
cono, tho last vestigw of resemblance ban
long since passed from those who 'would,
still uphold the 'name as a - standard for
the people. . It is a fact which; perhaps
many of you will bo loth to realise,, but
upbn careful deliberation, and an examj-
' nation of tho history of our country lor
the last twenty years you will find none
tho less true.- The puro, untainted Jatk:
souian Democracy you will recognize m
the great Union party (f to day. . It is
do disgrace to abandon a bad cause,'
Howimany of you are sorry fyr ipast

. Come, summon your courage ar.d show
i yourselves men I Do not bo hood
winked by Mich frail devices as that wo
' ha v6' alluded to. ; "Ii you are called i
renegade, turncoat, &c, it will not iii
1 iu're voir. We lovo to hear the railing
accusations of bullied villiany. Especial'
!y bucIi consistencies as aro common now
a days. What soldier is fhero,'. who
served three years or less in the Union
! army, but delights in the appellation ot
Disunionist, it enduring tho toils and
privations of war entitles him to tho
torm t We nro willing to accept any
. thing with tT-rt'oH in. it, with or without
-the Dis i but Clod preserve us from
. tho cognomen of Conservative. Syuony
' ruous with tho term, are thoughts of
. stay atliomo editors, draft skedudleis,
; men who sent negro substitutes to tho
army. . It awukcus old and unpleus
ant memories which are not conducive
to such friendly feelings as we would
i wish to exoroiso toward thoio poisons
. i We look upon the Union party as tho
great, intelligent, thinking, ronling,
i working mass of tho inhabitants of our
ibountry. Men who have iiistuinod our
interests through all the strife, turmoil
-aud danger of four years of intestine
w&t, and who now are not to bo swurv
,ed from , duty by. trifles light as air."
Let those who do , swerve go, it woie
bettor had they never been among us.
And, jnst hero we kmjjH demonstrate J
their case by an anecdote in which we
happered to be a looker on i
Ou the day alter the surrender . of
Lee's army, at Appomattox Court House,
when tin disbanded meu were bo
taking themselves to their homes in all
directions, we chanced to stop near a
squad of "Johnnies" by the roadside,
Ihcy were conversing about the late ,uis-
aster to their arms, when one ot thorn, a
fine looking follow, well dressed in
"rebel gray" spoke thus i
"I'm going home, but in a way I
don't want to go."
How so !" exclaimed ono of Long
street's sunbrowned veterans, whoso
clothes betrayed tho service ho had
seen.
"I'm going," replied the formo, "as a
prisoner of war, tho term prisoner is what
I don't like 1 This muss is not to end
here and tho d d Yankees will find U
so."
"Woll," answered tiro tatter, "what
branch ot scrvieo do you belong to 1"
The reply was, -'A. P. Hill's signal
corps."
"I thought so," answered the veteran
'As soon as I heard you speak I rated
you as a Quartermaster's clerk, a llospi
tal "bummer," or something of tho kind
Tho signal corps is tho same thing. If
you had carried a musket through this
war and been with Longstreet, you
would have been satisfied to have gone
home the way you aro. I, for ono,
hope this may bo the death gasp." .
So it is in the present issue. Let
those who do not like the epithet com
plain. To thoso who have born the
brunt wo say, "vote tho way you shot,''
and may tho coming election bo tho
"death gasp."
NiW Phase roil tub Fhkkdjian's
Buiikau. A reliable gentleman, from
"up in the hills,'' where they say the
Democracy still vote for Jackson, gives
us the following version of tho Freed-,
man's Bureau Bill as he heard it from
ono of "Johnson's frionds" t
"I'm not in for the Bureau Bill no
how, what's tho use givin tho d d nig
gers all a bureau apiece, why its some
thin' we whito folks ain't all got. D n
such a bill, I always was agiu it."

REPROACHES TO TUB CONQUERED.
We find soino of our southern coten-
porarios complaining, and not without
reason, of the constant application to
them ot tho term "rebel," as well as of
thebitterliess of tono manifested toward
them in not a few of the northern news
papers, as well as by some of our public
men. Wo must candidly confess that
we are ourselves somewhat too apt to
uso the term rohel, now that these men
are loyal, or at least no longer rebels.
Though we never reproach the conquer"
ed pcop'.o of the south, nor recall their
misdeeds, except to answer somo of
their own complaints, perhaps it may
bo desirablo to forget thee things if we
aro to remain citizens ot a common
republic, and hopo ever to bo fraternal
and harmonious. ' Wo should bo pleased
to know that our southern friends are
anxious for such a state ot things, and,
wero we satisfied of the fact, we should
cheerfully lend our aid to smeoih the
pathway to its accomplishment.
But what senso is there, now that
slavery is abolished, in these southern
journals socking perpetually to excite
tho violent animosity ot their readers
against the Republican party and the
masses ot tho northern people, by state
ments in which a small mod'ctim of truth
is so mixed up with falsehood as to con
vey tho impression that, wo are striving
by eyory means in our power to oppress,
degrade, injuro, slaudcrand. .deprive of
thoir rights tho southern p.copM Wo
can assuro them that there is only ono
cseapo for them froin'tho emba'rrassments
which now environ them, and that is
through tho aid of this very Republican
party. We havo our constitutional
right to govern as the majority, and we
mean-to nso it; No threats can drive us
from this. No amount of influence,
.whether in or out of olllce, will deter us
from the maintenaiico ot our principles
or the enforcement of our measures. It
the southern people persist in rejecting
our aid, and in looking only to a helpless
and hopeless minority for relief, they
are doomed to. wait in sore travail until
they learn wisdom."
; We admit that though it is excellent to
havo u .giant's strength, it is eoiutimes
tyrannous to uso it like a giant, and wo
thoruforo do not favor any harsh measures
or policy toward tho south. - But we
will not bo dictated to by those whom
we ai o dispotod to help out of their dii
flculiios, and if they porsiift in being
wrong headed, obstinate und sullen, wo
must even remedy their evils .our own
way, without their consent or assistance.
This, howovor, will not Justify those who
take delight in exaggerating the errors
of the southern pooplo, - in studiously
gathering up and parading .nil tho Bent
torcd instance of their passionate and
revengeful deed, It would be strange
if so impulsive, u people as those sojitjii
crnei'ri should not, in their Intense
clingrln and iiiorlifloulioii lit the stupen
dous luiluro of their war, vout lliuir ,?!?'!
In omo bad .Way. It would Lo equally
itrnniro it while we sec all around us tn
' "
- ' 1
the north so many bitter and venomous,
enemies of the poor uegroes, there'
should be none of them at the south,
It it is not rebellion to maltreat the
negroes at the north, it should not be
different at the south.
We ngreo with President Johnson,
that it wo can secure fro.n the southern
States themselves all the legislation we
require to remedy existing evils there,
it will bo tar better than to trust to
national legislation alone, for in the
former case the, feelings of the people
concerned would be enlisted on the side
of their State laws, and they would be
enforced without difficulty. Yet when
the States n.fuso to act, and when they
ice m to havo concluded, as was slated
by Alexander II. Stephens, in his evi
dence before the Reconstruction Com
mittce, that they have done enough and
ought not to bo asked to go further, we
tee that national legislation must then
step in, for thuro are things that must be
done, and without them the loyal masses
cannot audi will not be satisfied.
All this dots not require any reproach
cs toward tho south, and we advuo our
friends one and all to discontinue them
forthwith, without waiting tor any ces
sation ot the southern rabidness. Wo
must set tho example, and in duo time it
will be imitated. It can do no harm,
and it may do much good. Let ns try
to show these recusants that our policy
is not dictated by political or sectional
animosity, aud that we have no oilier
ends in view than the prosperity of the
wholo country, and iho perpetuation ot
the liberties and rights of all. Jealously
as we guard tho rights ot tho frccdmen,
we entertain n,i equal regard for the
rights of the southern white?, and mean
to insure them by destroying forever the
hateful system of terrorism. North

IS GEARY A COWARD?
Wo see that tho copperhead organs
now striving to clear up the odium of
Clymcr'u utter disregard for the rights
and the interests of tho soldiers, are
equally as persistent in their efforts to
show that Geary is a coward. Theeo
journals proclaim, in so many words,
that John W. Geary is a coward i that
he is no soldier, and that his reputation
is unsustained by a record. Now Itt us
write, in reply, that John W. Geary
rose from the ranks a Pennsylvania col
onel, to occupy, betoro the closo of the
war to put down tho slaveholder's re
hellion, the position of a Mnj.ir Genera!
in the grand army of the United States.
Ho could not nnd did not purchase this
promotion. IIu won it in the presouco
ot the world and tho face oi the enemy.
It was conferred on him in gratitude for
the most valuable services. Docs not
this then prove htm to bo a soldier!
But, reply 6:ary's enemies, ho is a cow
ard ho will not fight ? This is a slan
der equal to the charge that Geriry is no
soldier. It he is a coward, how comes
it '.hat Geary bears on his person wounds
that will never bu entirely healed, while
at his sido dangles a useless arm, made
such by a bullet from an army whose
paroled soldiers are now looked upon as
the political allies of the men who now
opposo Geary for Governor ! Surely
such a man is no coward. Ho has no
coward's blood in hi veins. JJis only
eon full pierced by rebel bullets while ho
fought at his 'fathers side. Is it not
beastly, then, to call such a man a coward!
Iliestcr Clymer's friends must chango
their tactics if they desiro to mako any
show in the coming election. They
cannot make votes by calling Guary
coward or donying to the hero his great
qualities as a soldier liar. Tele:

WHO BAWL LOUDEST FOR HIESTER
CLYMER t
A cotomporary gives the following
pointed answers to the shove question-
They aro the men who declared Jeff
Davis a better patriot than Audrew
Johnson.
They are tho same who pronounced
Grant a "butcher, " and Leo a"Christian
g:ntlemah."
They are the men who denounced tho
martyred Lincolu. as a '"tyrant," aud op
posed the hangiug of Jeff. Davis
They are the mon who were loth to
credit tho hows of a Federal victory,
but ulways swift to herald the news of a
Federal defeat.
They are the mon who cursed Shor
man, Sheridan aud Burnside, and made
the welkin ring with hurrahs for Vullan
digham and JelT. Davis- They are tho
mon who snid our soldiers were lighting
not for tho Union but "for the abolition
of slavery," and that tho rebels were
lighting to avoi'l being reduced to
"certain vassalage ".
They are the men who wero known
during the war at deserters, bounty
jumpers, and who fled the country t.
.t
uvuia toe uratK
Thny are the men who counseled and
enoouraged resistance to the conscription
law, and lurked in corn fluids and thick
ets to shoot down enrolling officers while
in aisciiarge ot their sworn duty.
They are tho men who by their teach
ings fired the baso passions ot the New
York rabble that burned 'down orphan
asylums, and murdcrod innocent aud
helpless colored people in the streets.
They aro the men who during tho war,
had nothing but denunciation for the
administration nnd apology for rebel
lion.
They aro the men who eneakod to tho
polls in 1804 and voted to withhold from
our gallant solmers in the field the onv
ilege ot participating in tho choice ot
those who were to make tho laws to
govern the wives, sisters and mothers
they had left behind.
They aro the men who applauded the
conduct of thpir present candicnte for
Governor in refusing to Andrew Johnson
the privilege of speaking for the Union,
in the senate Clia'iibcr of Pennsylvania
Those are .ho mon who aro now most
zealous for Clytner. What loyal man
wains to train tu such a company?
