tw As will be seen by reference to the
ticket at the head of our paper; John Jack
eon of this county, and C. M, Gere of
Susquehanna, have placed iu nomination
as candidates for Representatives. A full
report of the proceedings of the conference
has not reached us. Want of space for
bids any remarks at present upon the mer
its of either of 1 hem. further than to say,
that they are two of the best men of their
respective counties, and deserve the cor
dial supportjof the honest voters of the dis
trict. Let this be given them, whatever
the result.
BLACK RKCUBLICAN SOLICHTDE.—The
excessive love of the Abolition Jacobins for
the negro reminds us of the tales of those
Italian banditti, who shed tears over the
death of a tavorite dog, and afterward cut
the throat of a benighted travelerr The
religion and practice of the Abolitionists are
about on a par with the piety of those Ital
ian scoundrels; both classes can sanction
the greatest crimes, and afterwards goto
their closets and dole out a prayer for the
remission of their sins. So we go.
MADE A GOOD THING OF IT. —Mr. E.
G. Koss, the editor of a Kansas paper, who
was appointed to fill the vacancy in the
United States Senate, caused by the death
of Senator Lane, has made a good thing of
it. He hurried off to Washington : got
there on the 15th of July, and was imme
diately sworn in. On the 28th, Congress
adjourned, and he started back with a snug
sura for pay and mileage, amounting to
nearly SO,OOO. lie will probably be su
perceded by the regular election when the
Legislature meets, but he has got his pay
lor three days, service, at the rate of about
$2,000 a day.
gW Disunion-radicals ot all stripes and
grades are just now busy traducing the
character and record of Hon. lleister C'ly
mer, the Democratic candidate lor Gover
nor. For the benefit of all honest men wc
take the following item of his record from
the proceedings of the State Senate, on
the 11th day of January, as found on page
74 of the Legislative liecord. The extract
tells what Mr. Clyiner's position was thus
aarly in the great fight between North and
South—at a time, too, w hen the cause of
the government, was far from flattering, —
JBr. 6'lymer said :
" I am here, to-day, to deny for myself,
and I believe for the great body of the
Democratic party of this Slate, that they
recognize anything like the right of seces
sion of any State. I deny, I say, the right
of any State to secede, and I go further, I
tell you that the Democracy of this State,
with one heart and feeling applaud the
gallant Anderson for his defence of the
property of the United States. If he
should go farther still and allow no flag
but the Stars and Stripes to float within
the tange of his guns, I for one, would say
amen to his deeds. There I staud, I say
that South Carolina has no cause for se
cession or rebellion, and that it should be
put down by the strong arm of the Gov
ernment."
THE MASS MEETING YESTERDAY
The Clymer and Johnson Meeting held |
at this place yesterday, was indeed a mass \
meeting of the friends of a restored union 1
and an unmutilated Constitution, De
spite the unfavorable condition of the
weather, the drenching shower in the
morning, and the threatening clouds during
the day—which kept hundreds away—the
attendance was numbered by thousands.
From the mountain-tops the hill-sides and
the valleys they came, with flags, banners,
mottoes and emblems of the days of An
drew Jackson ; all eager to attest their de
votion to his principles, now so sternly de
fended by Andrew Johnson —the second
patriot statesman of Tennessee.
The meeting was called to order by L.
C. CONKLIN Esq., chairman of the Demo
cratic Standing Committee.
The following persons were then chosen
as otiicers of the meeting.
President —HON. J. V. SMITH.
Vice Presidents —A. O. FTLY, C. SHER
WOOD, HIRAM HITCHCOCK, FORBES LEE.
DR. JAMES KELLY, THERON VAUGHN, Ani-
KA GAY, JOSEPH FOX, E. D. THOMPSON,
E.N. BACON, ROUT. C A TON, IIAKKISON
COMSTOCK, JOHN AGER, S. T. FLCMMER
FELT, Titos OsTERHOLT, TFLOS- J. WAIGHT,
JOHN W. CRAWFORD, S, 11. SICKLER,
Secretaries —HARVEY SICKLER, HEISTER
HEELER, N. P. WILCOX, J. G. FASSETT.
The President addressed the meeting
briefly and pertinently, after winch he in
troduced the HON. HEISTER CLYMER,
Democratic candidate for Governor, wlio
in a most telling, convincing and eloquent
speech, held the large audience spellbound
for upwards of two hours. To attempt au
an epitome of the masterly address would
be idle. The speaker to be appreciated
must have been seen and heard. No man
who did see and hear him could have fail
cd to be impressed by his supe-ior talents ;
and the honest, fair and temperate manner
in which he discussed the great question at
issue before the people.
The absence of the lion. Montgomery
Blair, who it was expected would be pres
ent, was satistaetorily explained. While
it would have been gratifying to many to
have met and seen to distinguished a man ;
all fell that the time allotted to speaking
could not have been better employed than
it was by him upon whose words of wisdom
and eloquence the masses dwell with such
delight.
The rain in the morning had deferred
the starting from home of the different
township clubs and delegations, so that np
to near midday our town present-d quite ;
a deserted and Sabbath-day appearance, j
At about 11 o'clock they began to come
and from that time on to 12 o'clock and
after, there was one pet feet avalanche of
four horse teams, two horse teams, buggies,
horsemen and pedestrians, pouring into
the town from everv direetien.
Little Lemon, with a tine delegation, was
the first to make its appearance. Then
came Washington ; then Nicholson with
its long train of wagons filled with men and
women, like an army with banners; clos< ly
followed by the unflinching Democracy of
Falls and Overfield, Then came Forkston,
Windham, Mehoopany, Monroe, and our
other tratis-sttsquehanna townships. Me
shoppen too, came in both by land and bv
water. The nicely fitted up and well crowd
ed boat, sent marching up through town,
headed by a band of martial music, its long
line of-'fair women and brave men." The
tramping of horses, the huzzas of the mul
titude, the waving flags and banners", the
rattling drums, the ear piercing fife with
the sweet and mellow strains of music from
our brass band, made the scene one of the
most animated and interesting ever wit
nessed in our town. We are more than
justified in saying that this meeting was the
largest and most enthusiastic political gath
ering ever held here. The facts will war-
rant us in saying too, lliat a more sober,
quiet, orderly meeting of such numbers
was never held, anywhere.
Jt is difficult to deloimine with accuiacy
from what direction the largest delegation
came. That from Nicholson had the ap
pearance of having that hovor. The ban
ners from Mesh op pen and other localities
were very tastefully gotten up, with telling
mottoes. The large and splendid one
brought in by the Nicholson delegation
deserves especial mention. Its brief and
emphatic motto:
• EXCLUSION an<l SECESSION *
I alike
OPPOSED to the UNION. :
embodies the diep setted, abiding sen ti
nnnt of the true patriotic men of all parties,
everywhere. Let the masses take tluse
as the watchwords of the campaign, and
make tlie welkin ring with the refrain un
til both these hydra-headed monsters shall
be sunk into graves of merited oblivion and
contempt.
The evening being stormy, no public
speak ing was bad. Our young iads and
lassies, am ong whom the worthy President:
of the meeting was prominent, improvised
a hop at Wall s Hall, where the grace and
beauty of the town met and tripped it
with "light, fantastic" until near the "wee
sma' hours ayont the twa\" Our good l
lookiug candidate was present, for a short
time, and, although not joining in the dance '
seemed well pleased at the innocent amuse
ment of his friends. Thus closed the dav,
which will belong remembered by all who
were present —And thus closes our hurried
account of its interesting, stirring incidents.
The Congress Question.
COMMITTED, in view of all onr convic
tions and opinions, against the re-election
of Mercur to Congress,we have looked with
interest if not anxiety upon all movements ,
and discussion concerning the selection of
his antagonist. And we are now glad to
announce the probability that Hon. Wil-1
liam El well, President Judge of this judi-|
cial district, will he named as such with a
fair prospect of election. ""Upon looking j
over the whole field, and giving due con
sideration to the antecedents and views of
men who are to support a Union candidate,
no inore appropriate ar.d acceptable name
can be suggested. With abilities of a high
order, he has a record of past service and
of personal conduct which will recommend
him to all Conservative Union-loving and
patriotic men, whether their associations
have heretofore been with the one or the
other of the great parties of the country.
Twenty-two years ago in the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, William Elwell drew our
great statute which abolished imprisonment
for debt, and which yet stands among the
laws of the Commonwealth a monument of
humanity and of the advancing civilization
of the age.
Four years ago, upon invitation, he came
to this country and settled among our peo
ple. The invitation was given in the form
of a unanimous election to the office which
he now fills, and which he has adorned by
his learning, dignity and urbanity. lie
has become known everywhere in this judi
cial district as a just,humane and able judge,
who has so borne himself in his high office
that pope Jar confidence, respect, and at
tachment have concentrated upon him in a
most eminent degree, and no one has been
base enough or bold enough to asperso
either his character or his official conduct.
By bis training and habits of a lifetime
be has become familiar with our laws,
whether State or National, and fitted for
labor in their enactment or amendment. —
Congressional duties would be discharged
by him with an intelligence and tide ity
which would leave nothing to desire. Be
sides, he meets one popular requirement,
now pressing and important,more perfectly
than any man in this- Congressional Dis
trict. That requirement is a candidate who
stands comparatively free from recent par
tisan contests, and upon whom men who
have been heretofore politically opposed to
each other can cordially unite. The issues
of the hour demand united exertion and
combined effort among all who think the
comp'ete unitv of the country essential to
its existence and welfare. And it is expe
dient. if not necessary,to that united action ,
that those who carry the Union banner in
this new conflict with all that is detestable
and injurious in the world of politics should
command support and inspire confidence
beyond the limits of any political organiza
tion.
Judge Khvell has been to a great cttont
for some years withdrawn from participa
tion in party contests, though an attentive
observer of public events. Before his eje
vation to the Bench he was not regarded as
an ardent politician, and enjoyed the confi
dence and respect of political opponents as
well as friends. At the present time he
gives his thorough adhesion to the manciples
announced by tbe Philadelphia Convention,
is devoted to the complete re-union ot the
States, and is content to stand along side of
men engaged in the redemption of the
country from all disunion management, in
fluence, and control.

1 IIEY AOKEE:. —Greeley, through his
Tribune, calls Thurlow Weed, an •' infa
mous old villain,' and Weed, through the
Albany Journal, says Greeley is "an old
grey haired scoundrel. These two men
have known each other intimately for over
forty years, and no doubt tell the truth.
PERFECT EQUALITY,
Alexander McC'lure said at the nicotine
in Bedford : " THIS NATION CANN()T
SURVIVE THIS SHAMELESS DIS
CRIMINATION ON ACCOUNT OF
COLOR AND RACE; THERE MUST
BE EQUALITQ BEFORE THE LAW."
Broke Up*
The great National Union Convention
of Mongrelists, held in Philadelphia last
week, broke up because it couldn'i help
it. It was a singular affair for professed
Unionists.
The Northern negroites did not unite in
the mixture, because they did not like the
Southern ingredients, and were atraid. —
They kept aloof, floated about as moths
round a tallow dip; shook hands with ne
groes, drank wine with Fred. Douglas and
Anna Dickinson, and talked negro.
The Western men kicked at being bro't
to Philadelphia on a Black Swan 'mission
without having the privilege of kissing
ttieir first love ; but their kickiwg was of
no avail.
Strange that loyal Unionists couldn't
form a Union.
Butler andSchcnck came into the Phila
delphia ' Convention" arm in arm. The
Boston Pout says they represented the
arm y and knav-v.
Woise and worse. The Border_Statos,
after trying hard to keep on terms of peace
backed square out, and absolutely seceded I
What a Union! What consistent Un
ionists !
Anna Dickinson scolded; Fred. Doug
lass stormed ; M'Michacl took more Port;
Bill Kelly wriggled ; but all would not
do.
The great National Unionists, refused
to unite, acknowledged secession ! broke
up ! fizzled out! and so ended the farce.
FRED DOUGLASS AS AMALGAMATED OR :
MISCEGENATED.- -The Radical Convention j
in Philadelphia was obliged to accept and
to hear Fred Douglass, who in the course
of a speech of some length, among other
things, (quoted elsewhere) said :
" I am here as a representative, and a
representative ot' a multifarious constituen
cy such as, perhaps, no other man in the
Convention can be said to represent'
(white and black.) [Laughter.]
Douglas is all right in reference to his
own personal miscegenation ot races, as
the repiesentative type of the party in
which he is a leader. It is black and
white llayti,—mulatto, over again,—Ja ;
inaica extended, the mestizo, quadroon and ,
''picayur.e" of Central and Spanish Ameri
ca. In Ins own person, lie shows the strng
<'le to be for the amalgamation and mis
ccrenation of r ces, and the Radicals ac
cept him as a leader for the contest.
Remember.
REMEMBER that the great feature of the
Constitutional Amendment proposed by
Congress is a bribe to the South to adopt
negro suffrage. The State that allows ne
groes to vote is to have its white popula
tion represented. It half the population
of a Stat; is colored, the State will get
twice as many representatives in Congress
if it adopts negro suffrage as if it does not
REMEMBER that the delegates from ''the
unreconstructed States/ in the "Southern
Loyalists' Convention" at Philadelphia,
have declared in favor of unrestricted ne
gro suffrage', and the whole of t''at Con
vention were only deterred from taking the
same position by fear of political conse
quences in the North. For this weakness
they were soundly berated by Miss Anna
Dickinson and Fred Douglass, whose ha
rangue* received the enthusiastic plaudits
of the assemblage.
REMEMBER that at the caucus of loyal
Governors just held in Philadelphia, almost
every one present cqp'essod himself in fa
vor of negro suffrage, but the majority con
cluded not to commit their party to the
doctrine because the sentiment of the North
is "'not yet educated up to that point."—
They asserted in debate that if the elections
were lost, all would be lost; but that if
tlie elections were gained, all would be
gained, including negro suffrage.
RKMKMUKK that last week in Philadel
phia, for the first time in tli3 history of the
United States, whites and blacks commin
gled in w fiat purported to be a represent a
tive Convention of the people; and that
John W. Geary figured in that Conven
tion. was invited to a scat on that platform
with its officers, and was enthusiastically
cheered by its members !
CHEERING SlGNS.— Every day brings
us additional proofs, that the friends of the
President and his policy will stand shoul
der to shoulder in the fall elections. No
matter what party they have acted with
heretofore, a common enemy and a com
mon cause will induce every true patriot
to make any sacrifice to restore the Union,
and save the country from another war.—
The iron heel o f fanaticism in its mad ca
reer is now attempting to crush out State
rights, and if successful it will soon seek
to extinguish State lines. It there ever
was a time that eternal vigilance was the
price of liberty it is at the present moment.
We believe that the intelligent masses of
the country will rally against any attempt
at centralization. — Ex,
John W. Geary says that it is right
for the laboring tax-payers of Pennsylva
nia to be compelled to pay one million, six
hundred thousand dollars a month to sup
port the Freednun's Bureau. Voters, is
it right that the fruits of your labor should
go to the support of idle negroes who are
as able to support themselves by work as
you are ? No, it is not!
Since General Grant and his Chief of
Staff composed a part of the audience att
the interview between the President and
the Philadelphia Convention Committee,
the Jacobin papers have dropped the Gen
eral like a hot potato. They don't see any
negro in that fence any more. The world
seems to. be uncommonly rough for the Jac
obins just now, and they are very much in
the predicament of the fellow who was un
der a tree which was struck by lightning—
slightly confused.
The old saying—"Great cry and little
wool"—can't be applied to the Philadel
phia Geary-Douglas convention, for it was
ushered in with a great cry and has turned
out all wool.
The *ew Bounty,
We take the following article on this 1
important matter to soldiers, fromjthe Phil.
Ledger , of Friday :
'• There appears to be great trouble at
Washington about the evtra bounty recent
ly voted to the soldiers by Congress. The
Paymaster General reports that he receives
fifteen hundred applications for this bounty
per day, but is unable to do anything more
than file them away for future reference,
as there are not any funds in the Treasury
not already appropriated, and the Special
Commission having the subject of payment
of the extra bounty tinder consideration,
have not yet reported. It is the opinion
of the Paymaster General that these claims
cannot be adjusted for some months."
And this is the law passed by the party
who call themselves the 'soldiers' friends.'
It is a mere sham, and probably the act
will have to be referred to the next session
of Congress for interpretation and revision.
No such mistakes were made in the *Freed
men's Bureau" bill, in the "Civil Rights"
bill, or the bill to increase the pay ot mem
bers of Congress from $3,000 to $5,000, —
When they are working for the negro or
themselves they make no mistakes, but
when it comes to doing anything for the
white soldier, they make at the last hour a
law that cannot be executed. The S3OO
bounty to negroes is now being paid.—
White trash, stand back !
The change in the public feeling to
wards the ruinp Congress is shown by the
attitude of the press of the country. It was
but yesterday, almost, when the majority
of the New Yoik city was Jacobin; to-day
only one paper (the New York Tributv)
advocates the Congressional obsruction
scheme. The country press are following
suit. The Hanger (Maine) Times has left
the Republicans and come out for the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor. The Ilun
tingb n (Pa.) C larlen is the last convert to
the right side. In taking down General
Geary's name from its columns, it says:
" Before, and at the time General Geary
was nominated, and since then, and up to
the issue made by the llarrisburg Tele
graph, that the larger General Geary's ma
jority, the sterner will be the rebuke admin
istered to Andrew Johnson ,' we were hi>
friend, but we could not feel certain at any
time that bis election was sure, because
one fact was pressed upon us,that the Jaco
bins would use and abuse him.
.
All the Decency,
In the Radical Convention in Philadel
phia on Thursday last the following scenes
occurred, which cannot fail to shock the
moral sense of every right-thinking man in
the community.
Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, read the dis
patch in Wednesday's paper of last week,
relating to the President's visit to the
Northwest. On r ading part of Mr.
Seward's speech, and inquiring whether the
audience desired Mr. Johnson for King or
President, loud cries of "Xarv one" w ere
heard front all parts of the Convention.
A Delegat —Ne, sir; we'd see Andy
Johnson 305 degrees into hell, with Bill
Seward and Montgomery Blair on top of
bint, lit at.
lV.rson Brownlow gave utterance to
these disgusting remarks :
Some gentleman,not through any unkind
feeling toward ine, but through a mistaken
appreciation of my motives, lias said that
we were afraid of the negro suffrage q :c>-
tion and sought to dodge't. (Fhy, I should
feel disgraced now and forever if I felt
doubtful on any subject of national concern.
I never was claimed ori both sides of any
question, and never intend to be. While 1
am satisfied with what hasbren done, lam
the adi'ornte of negro suffrage and of impar
tial suffrage. [Great applau-including
"three cheers for Brownlow.*'] I would
sooner lie elected to any oifi -e under heav
en by loyal negroes than by disloyal white
men. [Applause.] I would sooner asso
ciate in private life with a loyal negro than
a disloyal white man. 1 would sooner be
buried in a nt tiro graveyard than in a rebel
graveyard. [Applause.] If I have after
death to go either to hell or to fa area,l shall
prefer to go Wth loyal negroes to hell than
with traitors to heaven.
These sentiments, it must be borne in
mind, were uttered on the floor of the Rad
ical Convention, in the same hall in which
Anna Dickinson and Fred. Doulass spoke,
and before the same body which received
with enthusiastic applause General Geary,
the disunion candidate for governor. "The
pity of it—o, tire pity of it!"'
Where does General Grant Stand f
It is with the President —is one of his
supporters. This adds to the passion of
the Radicals. They have claimed Gen.
Grant cheered him, dined him, feted him
and "loyal leagued" him. They have
boasted of his popularity, and make invidi
ous comparison between him and t ie Pres
ident ; hut already General Banks, on be
half of his party, proclaims their dctermin
ation to drive him out of office and appoint
a new commander-in-chief; and they are
confounded bv the remarks of the Presi
dent, when in the presence of the most
distinguished citizens of New York, he
turned to the General and said :
"I helpe l my (listinjrtmhml frienl—Grant—to
fi?ht the rebelhop of the South, You all remember
his peculiar phrase, that he was going to fight it
out on that line. I was with him, and did all that
I could. We whippdd them at that end of the line,
and I want to say to you here that I aui Sghting at
the other end. and : f :te is not m the field now in
military sense, he is where he does good servioe.
Whilst the Jacobins are busily engaged
in finding out new ways whereby the South
j may be debarred from representation in
the council of the country, the tax collec
j tor is no less busy and prompt in calling on
' the impoverished States of that section for
their quota toward keeping the Govern
ment going and assisting to pay the sala
ries of the men, in Congress and out of it,
, who makes use of their official positions to
torture and persecute the Southern people.

Sad and Fat il AH'air —A Sunday school pic
nic was held near Centreinoreland, ou TtrursJay, of
last week at which there were large numbers from
the schools of the surrounding townships brthof this
; and Luzerne counties. Everything immediately
I connected with the Pic Bic passed off very agrees
i bly to all present Alter the close of the affair, a
1 young man, from near Troy,Luzerne Co,, named, Ira
■ Scbooley, w.ts at the "corners" with a horse and

1 he I eing in the house. A young man by the name
of Thomas Jaques, a resident of the place, who
was considerably in'oxicated, got into the bug"
gy, 11 drive off The bystanders seeing his con
dition, prevented him from doing so. Sehooley,
j coming out of the house about this time, drew his
whip to strike Jaqucs, but was stopped by those
I present. Jaques, was then taken out of the buggy,
i lie then commenced taking off bis coat and advaa
j eing towards SehoOi-y, when he stumbled and fell

huggy ran around to where Jaques was, and ash®
ho was partly up, give him a violent kick upon tb®
sid?of the neck Young Jvques dropped down and
immediately expired. A post mortem examination
by Esq. Lutes, with Dt's. I) ma and Thompson, as
