HARD ON THE s.coPs +.

Harper's Weekly, a paper that had deei-
ded leanings toward the Democracy before
the Shareholders rebellion, speaks thus
harshly, but truthfuly, of the party which
still claims to bear the name. 1t 6ays;--
THE national prestige of the Democratic
name is gone. The name of Democracy is
indissolubly associated with treason, rebel
lion, and civil war Under Democratic as
.eendency the conspiracy was conceived and
matured. Under Democratic Administra-
ton it ripened By Democratic chiefs it
was directed. BY Democratic politicians it
was defended and excused. By Demo-
ocratic Convention it was declared triumph
ant BY Democrttic organs and orators, as
far as they dare, the theories from which the
rebellion sprung are still justified The
Democratic party has forced itsbest men from
its ranks. Il has prostituted a noble nansd

After carefully manipulating the returns.
and seeking for every possible objection,
they rejected the foregoing votes and coun-

The Union judges believing, that the return
judges had no right under the law to reject
any votes, did not sign the papers. AT the
meeting Of the District judges, one from each
OF these counties to sum up the vote of the
District, it was discovered that the copner-

judges from these counties, being In a ma
jority ofons over the Somerset Judge, DE-
LTBERATELY REJECTED THE ENTIRE SOLDIER
VOTE OF BEDFORD AND FULTON COUNTIES
For the purpose of defeating Ross and Arm
strong, and giving fraudulent certificate of
election to Findley and Meyers, these two
judges shamelessly, and in violation of all
law, cast away the very votes that thev IN

for more gross and outrageous violation of
the elective franchise than this. 1t is so
monstrous and horrible, that the mere state
ment of it will shock every decent and right
thinking citizen. This scheme was not per
mitted to succeed. The Union judge from
Somerset made return, certifying the cor
rect vote, and upon both being presented to
the Legislature, that body rejected the frau
dulent and spurious onc, and promptly adj
mitted Ross and Armstrong to their seats.
Eindley and Meyers conscious of the weak
ness OF their case, not only did not make a
contest as was their right, yea, their dutg 10
do, if they felt themselves aggrieyed, but
have not solicited a denomination al the
hands of their party, thus shrinking from
that tribunal, whose decree had been so set
at naught by their party, and doubtless hav-
ing premonition Of the defeat that awaits
their candidates, as the just retribution due
such an outrage upon the rights of the peo-
pie. In their stead two others have been
found, who are willing to enter the contest,
with this immense load Of political iniquity
strapped upon their shoulders, which will
cling to them with the conspicuity of the
rogue, who is made to go in public with the
name OF the offence he has been guilty of,
placarded in large letters upon his back.
Soldiers you owe it to yourselves, to your
manhood, to vindicate your rights, SO wan
tonly and defiantly trampled upon by the
Democratic party, to vote for Ross and
Armstrong, and defeat their opponents,
Colburn and Smith. Union men good and
true men of all parties, you who would pre-
serve the ballot-box pure, see to it, that the
candidates of that party, that so fagrantly
attempted to set the will of the people aside
are defeated at the coming election.

OUR LEGIsLATIYE rIckEr.

BY the action of the Union Conventions of
the Counties of Somerset Bedford and Full
ton, Gen'l Moses A. Ross and Lieut. ID. B.
Armstrong, the former representatives from
this District, have been placed in nomina-
ton as candidates for the Legislature. The
high character of these gentlemen, their fit
ness Tor the position, and the faithful man
ner IN which they discharged their duties
during the past session, entitle them to the
confidence of the Union party of the district,
and their reelection by handsome maiori-
ty Is foregone conclusion. There are some
reasons, however, why there should be an
earnest and vigorous effort made by every
member of the Union party, to secure the
election of these gentlemen, and the COM
plete and ignominious overthrow of their
antagonists. 1t will ever be remembered,
wAst determined effort the Democratic
party made, to defeat the Constitutional
amendment, which conferred upon our gall
liant soldiers in the field, the right to vote
They resisted the passage of the bill in its
various stages In the Legislature, and en-
deavored to defeat it before the people,
not only by open and hostile opposition,
but by the utterance and circulation of
the wilful and malicious falsehood
that the object of the proposed amendment
OF the Constitution was, to give the nIggers
a vote" thereby wickedly attempting to de
grade the American soldier, and lower him
to the level of the negro. The people of
Pennsylvania disregarding the evil counsels
Of that wicked and depraved party, rose in
their might to the full measure of the occa-
sion, and in thunder tones, and with an
Overwhelming majority, declared that justice
still held its sway, within the limits of our
noble Commonwealth, and that the man lcho
loeat forth, to do the uery highest duty Of a
citizen, should not for that reason, be depri-
ued Of has highest priritege, and loiocred to
the leuel of the Stare. But the intense hatred
of the eopperhead party did not permit them
to stay their efforts, to disfranchise the sol
diers, and nowhere did the malignant spirit
of hostility to the soldier evince itself In a
more notorious manner, than in this Legis-
latiye district. In the counties of Bedford
aud Fulton, the copperhead party is in the
ascendency, and consequently had MAORI
ty of the return judges, at the meeting Of
the county boards to count the vote. In
furtherance of well matured scheme, by
the copperhead politicians of the District tC
elect their Congressional, Judicial and LIE
gIslatIve tickets, the Democratic return
judges in violation of the plainest provisions
OF the law, defining their duties, rejected The
