PesoTred, That believing Congress. as

in what manner the States lately in re-
iaUion shall be restored, we cordially en-
4or,e the proposed amendments to the
constitution as an effectual remedy
against future rebellions, q proper punish

White mans government
Rc0Jred. That Andrew Curtin, the able
and efficient Governor who carried Penn
svlvania safely through the war, is en-
titled TO our thanks and gratitude
RcS0ired, That our thanks are due to
the Republican Legislatures of the past
six years for their prompt and efficient
laws 10 meet great cOntingencies-fOr
reduction of the State debt-and, at the
close Of the war, for repeal of the State
TaX-services which ought to satisfy all
taxpayers that party whose acts speak
far louder than democratic professions
coupled with extravaganza and corrup-
non, as in canal days of old, is worthy of
being supported and continued in power.
PsSOired, That we commend the ticket
this dav nominated to the people of Mif-
Hin county, from the character of the
men composing il as good citiZens-from
the fact that they were in heart and soul
Union men through the war. who believ-
ed a causeless rebellion ought to be put
down at any cost-and whose capacity to
fill the several offices with credit is un-
doubted-as deserving of support.
Res0lUed, That recognizing in Gen.
John W. Geary, the Union Republican
nominee for Governor, true, tried and
brave soldier, TO whom and his gallant
soldiers the gratitude of the people is due

neither a soldier nor a soldiers friend.
CONVENTION OF PATENTEES.-TheO old
democracy, with a sprinkIing of the new
party, assembled in the Town Hall on
Monday afternoon, and after laborious
session succeeded in nominating a part of
a ticket, to wit:
Associate Judges-Ephraim Banks,
VIM. Ross.
Sheriff-Wm. T. McEwen.
COmmissiOner-JohnW w. Kearns.
Ephraim, it will be seen, is again in
pursuit of his idol, Office, and if he keeps
"
hear of his nomination for Councilman,
High Constable, or Collector. The de-
mocracy is however so hard run for cam
didates that they have to take him. For
Sheriff VIM. T. McEwen stepped in and
laid all the old candidates on the shelf
where they can chew the cud of democra-
Cy TO their heart content. But the most
extraordinary nominations were those of
VIM. Ross for Associate Judge and John
W. Kearns for CommissiOner-two men
whose entire course was so outrageous in
denunciation of the Government, the war
soldiers, and everything else not rebel,
that it was great pity they did not live
south of the Potomac. Banks and Me
Even were both radical enough in all
conscience, especially the latter when he
resigned his commission in the army, but
Ross and Kearns are both representative
men Of the New York Day Book and Sc
linsgrove Times school and for any SOL
der to touch them with forty foot pole,
would be as great a sight as to see them
advocate the claims to office of an army
hummer or deserter.
Pursuant TO the plan secretly adopted
for the gradual sale of the democracy, no
nomination for the legislature was made
A. Reed, ESQ. was named for Congress
REV. J. 3. REIMENSNYDER.-T gen.
tleman, pastor of the Lutheran Church
Of this place, made the opening prayer
on Thursday last, in the Conglomerate
Convention of rebels, copperheads, north
ern sympathizers with treason, Johnson s
bread and butter brigade, self-styled dem
ocrats, and perhaps a dozen honest and
patriotic men, from which we learn that
God, instead of Andrew Johnson, as
most people had supposed, had "inaugu-
rated" that hungry band Of pardon and
office seekers, and also that we had a 'nOble
President to whose patriotic efforts to
vindicate the supremacy of the Constitu-
tion." all the people ought TO rally! Much
as we had seen of Mr.. Riemensnyder and
close as we reside to him, we did not know
what his politics were, or indeed that he
had any at all; and we must confess few
things we have read in these times O
strange events surprised us as well as many
others, more than this fulsome adulatior
of Andrew johnson.
