They Know How TO BEHAvE.-Capt
Reayis said in his speech night before
last, that it used to be said that the ar.
my was demoralizing, and that soldiers
became hardened. 1t was not so, but
even if it had been true, one thing is
certain, they all know how to behave
themselves at political meetings. y

6 Stick to the Ticket.U

This is the true Democratic doctrine and
the Democrats of Columbia and Montour
will adhere to it. 1t was arranged, as all
know, that Montour should have the Repre-
sentative, that county agreeing that Colum-
bia should have the Senator but after Co
m1nbia generously gave the Representative
to Montour, she, or rather the Pfpe-layers
of that county, quietly and coolly ignored
the arrangement. There is an old adage
that, when rogues fall out, honest men get
their dues" but this is different case. 1t
is a case of quarrel bettoeen honest men and
(politicaD rogues. Col. TATE, according to
the immemorial usage of the party in such
cases, has been placed in regular nomina-
ton, and the Democracy of Columbia and
Montour will see that he is elected

Hon Chas. r Buckalew in Lock
Haven

This distinguished Pennsylvania, being
a casual visitor to Clinton County and the
guest of Theodore Wright, was serenaded
on Thursday evening last by his Democratic
friends. In reponse to continued calls he
made speech in which the great issues Of
the day were handled with his accustomed
clearness, force, and ability His arguments
were backed up by citations of facts from
curaent political history, which gave them
that additional weight with which a sledge
hammer blow is supposed to enforce on apt
rejoinder Senator Buckalew's manner of
speaking is exceedingly cool and deliberate
and carries with it the idea of profound self
conviction, No man who gave him atten-
ton could fail to beimpressed with the grave
character of this political and the
importance Of a change in the complexion Of
the next Congress. His speech was well re-
ceived, particularly Reimbursement ofHies-
ter Clymer and his eloquent appeal for the
Union and it may also be added that it met
the high encouium of all fair-minded Re
publicans who heard it, which is no light
praise Clinton Democrat, September I3.

The CAMPAIGN,

The editor of the Campaign paper of this
place should be the last person to prate about
"bolters' and ''bolter's organs, i" and set up
his Democracy as an example 1t runs in
our mind that last fall year ago he was
connected with a Democratic Club of this
town at time when there were soldiers quar-
tered in and about this place, and that he
made motion or request, before the Club.
to the effect that the Constitution and By
laws" of the Club be destroyed, or in other
and more mild words, that the leaves con-
tanning the Constitution, Bylaws and names
OF Members, be torn ont of the book and be
carried of. This motion was instantly rote1
do'on. Because few soldiers were quarter
ed here he had not the nerve or moral cour-
age TO say he was Democrat and fearing
that the soldiers might, on examination, find
hts name on the books as member of a
Democratic Club he desired that the records
be Destroyed Yet this is the same Demo
crdt who prates about Democracy and tick
et' through the Campaign, and undertakes
to tell you who you should vote for. We
think you are competent to judge that mat
tel. for yourselves without his Ltsle gratuitous
adyioe.

The Rsdica1 Rebels are trying to subvert
the law Of the land as decided by the Su-
preme Court Of the State. They are striy-
ing to resist the right of thousand of citizens
to exercise the privilege of voting. They
aim at the franchisement of a large portion
of the people upon the pretext that they
are guilty of an ofense of which they have
not only never been convicted but for which
they have not been, and never will be, tried
These new rebels against the laws, these
despicable enemies to the freedom of the
white man, had better not undertake to put
their contemplated fraud into practice !;
they must remember that the law is against
them the highest judicial tribunal in the
State has declared that no man can be de-
prived of his right to vote, simply because
his name is found on Provost Marshal's S
list of ''Deserters. The Supreme Court
has decided that man must have been tried
for and convicted of desertion, and the
punishment Of ofdisfranchisement adiudped by
the proper tribunal, before he can be depriv-
ed of the right to vote as being a deserter.
That Court has also further decided that
Judges of Election cannot try man for
desertion, but are bound to take. his vote,
unless evidence of his conviction as a desert
er and the adjudication of the penalty of dis
by the proper tribunal, In his
case, are laid before them. Hence, we warn
all election boards against being influenced
by the foul schemes of the Radical Rebels
who are plottingto oyerturn the laws of the
State. We say it in all earnestncss and with
a full determination to make good our words.
EVERY ELECTION OFFICER WHO
WuLDISFRANCHISEANY SOCIAL
ED DESERTER, WHO is OTHERWISE
QUALIFIED TO VOTE, WILL BE
PUNISHED TO THE UTMOST EX-
TENT OF THE LAW.

Hester ClYmer.

This gentleman is canvassing the State
most thoroughly, and is making warm and
true friends wherever he goes. He addressed
large gathering of the Democracy and con-
servative masses on Saturday last, at Sun
bury, and on Monday following, at Little
York. We had hoped that he would be
able to visit this county before the election,
but it viii be impossible for him to do So
No candidate was ever more enthusiastically
received by the great masses of the people,
throughout the whole State, than is HESTER
CLYMER, wherever he speaks His election
looks encouraging, and there is no doubt of
his success.

ULYSSES Mercur.

MERCUR, the negro suffrage candidate for
Congress in this District, made speech in
the Court House, at this place, on Wednes-
day evening of last week, in which he de-
clared the negro entitled to vote and all
the privileges enjoyed by the white man. He
stated that there were negroes in the District
of Columbia more intelligent than any per-
son in the room in which he was speaking.
Ofcourse he included himself. Ism lit astsa-
ishing that he should admit, even if it were
the case, that the negroes in the District of
Columbia are more intelligent than his con-
stituents or even himself? This was said in
part to justify his votes on the negro suffrage
and Freedmen's bureau bills. Those of his
Abolition hearers who are not quite as black
as some others, declare, since the meeting,
that they cannot sustain his negro suffrage
principles, no difference if the negroes did
enter the service in defence of the country.
They entered the army through the force of
circumstances, at large bounties, and prom
ises of light duty, which promises were well
kept by the Abolition army "pimps'' who
commanded these pet lambs" MERCUR
did not seem to want votes, and in our opin-
ion, he will fall considerably short of his
vote of 1864. He should and tciU be defeat
ed, no tIoo rays about Il.

The Fulton Democrat, in noticing the fact
that the Sheriff of that county, in obedience
to orders from Harrisburg, has inserted the
unconstitutional Deserter Law in his election
proclamation, says:
This he has done not out of the slightest
shade of belief that the law is of any effect,
but simply out of obedience to orders. We
have already said all that is necessary for
US to say about this law We shall treat it
as the Supreme Court require us and all
law-abiding men to treat it-as nullity and
dead letter And we have only to say that
the election officer of Fulton county who re-
iects vote under the sham pretext of this
law, will be treated as violator of the most
sacred rights of the citizen. Let any Aboli-
ton Judge or Inspector just try the exper-
iment, and our word for it he will find law
suits enough on his hands before a week
thereafter to satisfy him for one year at
least.

I35- No one but aatire born citizen of
the United States is eligible, by the Consti-
tuition, to the Presidency No naturalized
German, Irishman, Englishman, Scotchman,
Welshman or other foreigner, can be made
President. The Rump amendment to the
Constitution, which is an issue at the COM
ing election, makes all the native born ne
groes citizens, and consequently they are
made eligible to the Presidency of the United
States. Negroes are thus preferred to, and
placed above all intelligent foreigners, not
withstanding many of the latter have resided
in the country for fifty or sixty years. Ger
