ton Act, by saying that it was necessary to
pass these acts to save the Union. Is the u
MON any safer now than it was before these en-
actments? Is it not in greater danger? Is en-
boarding and clothing thousands of thriftless,
worthless negroes, any help to the imperilled
Union? Have these enactments caused Union
sentiment to increase in the Border States, or
have they encouraged enlistments in the North,
or inspirited and cheered on the army already
in the field? Alas! no. The contrary is true.
Mr.. Mcpherson is greatly in the wrong and can
not escape the consequences of his votes.
asrOur preacher-fghting knight of the quill
on Juliana street, is ''down on the ovations
given to Gen. Corcoran, and says that that gal
liant officer distinguished himself accidentally"
at Bull Run. Such accidents can be produced
whenever battle is fought, provided the Off
Ger is not skulker and has not the cowardly
instincts of that class of miscreants who, while
they stay at home, urge others in the same cir
cumstances with themselves to enlist. But we
are not surprised that this valiant home-guard
objects to the tributes paid to the brave sufferer,
Corcoran. He is an Irishman and Democrat,
which fact, of course, is sufficient to damn him
in the jaundiced eyes of this prejudiced scribbler
e5-As the Pastor of the M. E. Church will
be absent for the two following Sabbaths, there
will be no service in the church on the morning
of the 7th, or the 18th inst, but Prayer Meet
ings will be held in the evenings of both those
days at = o'clock. On Sabbath morning, 21st
inst, Providencepermitting the Pastor will COM
mence series of discourses founded upon that
important passage of Scripture, which occurs in
Philippians, 2 ch., Sill verses Several of
the series will illustrate and confirm the precise
nature assumed by Christ in the Incarnation.
esr'The proof of the pudding is the eating of
it." Why don't the Republican township lead
ers who think there are no good Union men but
themselves, jump into the military harness and
act out their doctrines. The Democrats are
rightfully and manfelly stepping forward to take
up arms in defence Of their country, and these
Republican brawlers stay at home and black
guard better patriots than themselves Shame
on such poltroonery!
sS-A new Democratic paper has been started
in Huntingdon, entitled ''The Monitor" Albert
Owen, editor and proprietor. The 'Monitor'
presents quite a neat appearance, and evinces
much ability in its editorials. There is good
field in Huntingdon county, for a paper like the
''Monitor," and we hope it may cultivate it sue
cessfully.
sg-Oh! but our "Republican" brethren are
s& Of them to vote Tor Mi. Cessna for
Assembly-Mr Cessna, who has done more for
the war than all the "Republican" leaders in
this borough put together-but, then, there is
Republican" in the field-Dr. Bramwell, of
they fan would vote for him.
Poor fellows, what ''mix'' they are in!
eSLook out for all kinds of electioneering
canards against the Democratic candidates The
Republicans are trying to move heaven and
earth to injure our candidates for Commissioner
and Poor Director, two as good and upright
men as can be found in the county. Watch,
Democrats! Beware of falsehoods!
ezyThe "Republican" meeting on Tuesday
night, was a complete fizzle-a fat, stale and
improbable founder-sans numbers, sans en-
thusiasm, sans everything that goes to inspire a
party with hope Or energy.
e1TA. j. SAMSON, II. G. Reamer and Joseph
Diehl are about starting cavalry company.
Success to them.
e5Jones, of the Patriot g. Union how about
that trip to the mountains? Has Bergner had
your fishing tackle confscated, or what is the
reason you don't fulfil your promises
es-AN UNKIND CuT-The Republican meet
ing on Tuesday night, passed resolution com.
plimentary to General Corcoran. Alas! Poor
Durhorrow What a cut was there, my coun-
trymen!

Whereas rumors intended to be detrimental

myself as well as the political party on whose
