&c Cooks Regard

During the canvass for the nomination
of the Republican convention fer Congress
10 this district between Hon. j. o. Norton
and d. c. Cook, some interesting facts iu
the history Of the latter were brought to
light. Indeed Covk was shown to be ut
terly unworthy OF the high position to
which he aspres, aud there are hundreds Of
Republicans who will vote for S. X. Casey,
40 honest and true man, 10 preference to

The Farmer,a Taxea

This is clearly . delusion; for il ia we'll

for that purpOsee was postponed until after
the Presidential election A land taxa
tax upon the farms and dwellings of the

Dental election. Congress deferred the as.
sessment Of this land tar until next year
Then it will be levied, and every farmer
will have to pay a new additional tax up-

Democracy and the Union.


The Democratic party is the only organ
zatiOr in the country that is honestly
working for the restoration of the Union.
The opposition whether under the name of
Secession" or Abolition" or is marshal
led under the leadership of JEFF. Davis at
the South, or Abe Lincoln at the North,
its aim is disunion and it's fruits are civil
war.
As much as the Democratic party desire
to see an end put to this appalling war.
and peace again restored to the country.
it would not have our Government humble
itself before an armed rebellion, or accede
TO terms that would be dishonorabls, or 10
contrOVertiOn to the constitution. merely
for the Ike of peace.
10 fact, the position Of the Democratic
party is declared by our standard bearer,
George B. Mcclellan. We want no peace
short Of a restoration Of the Uuicn. Our
flag must again float over every inch Of our
former territory, before the war can end,
but let the Union men Of ,he South and OF
the border States be assured that their
rights under the constitution will not he
trampled upon, and that they will be per-
mitted to eume buck into the Union a. they
were before the commencement Of this
horrible aud unnatural war. In this con-
test the Democratic party knows no other
issue than the restoration Of the Union aud
the re-establishmeat of the supremacy Of
the constitution aid laws over the entire
country-North as we'll as South.
Democrats oppose the Administration Of
Abraham Lincoln on account of its nsur-
patiOns over the rights of free American
citizens and its negro schemes. They are
willing to pour out their blood to suppress
the rebellion and re-establish the Union.
but utterly refuse to fight for the attain
ment of she freedom OF the negroes of the
South and the establishment of their
equality as citizens. Let Mcclellan be
elected and the policy of the war would be
Immediately changed, The Con6scation
