Grand Rally of the Citizens of Johns
town and Vicinity.
The Greatest Enthusiasm Prevails--
Hon. Heister Clymer in Att tendance.

Agreeably to announcement, the De-
mocracy of Johnstown and vicinity as
sembled on the public square, on Satur-
day, the 25th instant The meeting was
organized by calling Maj. James Potts
of Johnstown to the chair. The Major
responded in an eloquent and appropriate
address, suitable to the occasion. After
which he introduced Hon. Hester Cly-
mer, the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor to to the vast audience. He was re-
ceived with loud and continued applause.
After thanking the audience for the man
ner in which he was received, he proceed
ed to address them. He unfolded the
doings and actions of the Republicans in
Congress, in such thrilling and eloquent
manner that it must have struck ter
ror into the hearts of the Radical by
ISLANDERS. Of his adversary he said but
little. Whether it was that he did not
think him worthy of a passing notice or
through respect for his high qualifications as
statesman or his daring .tects Of arms at
Chapultepec and Snickerville, we could
not say, but judging from the hopeful
manner in which he speaks of the coming
election, we suppose it was the former
After entertaining the audience for about
two hours, he retired to seat on the
speakers stand, while the eyes of every
person present seemed riveted upon him.
Our fellow-townsman, r. L. Johnston,
Esq, was next called upon, and received
with deafening cheers. He addressed the
meeting in his usual happy style, and was
often interrupted with bursts of applause
So great was the popular excitement while
Mr.. Johnston was speaking, that stran-
ger coming upon the ground and hearing
that the next Governor of Pennsylvania
was in attendance, would have readily
supposed that he was then addressing the
meeting.
After the conclusion of his speech, he
was loudly applauded. The meeting then
adjourned until halfpast seven. When
it was again organized. Speeches were
made by Hon. Cyrus L. Pershing, Col
John z. Linton and Capt. Woodruff:
The meeting adjourned with three cheers
for Clymer and the whole Democratic
ticket, Taking everything into consider
alton the meeting was success and re-
fleets great credit upon the citizens Of
Johnstown and vicinity. We think we
have never seen a more orderly or respec-
table gathering in Johnstown. There
was striking contrast between this meet
ing and one that assembled there some
three years ago, when citizens were mob
bed and abused because they would not
sustain the President, and sing Rally
Round the Flag Boys" The Democracy
are now sustaining the President, and
rallying around the flag of Liberty, car
ried by Hester Clymer, for the protection
Of every ,ohite citizen, whether he be of
English, Irish, Scotch, or German origin.

GEARY AT NEwvILLE.-7he hero IN
still another point Of vie,C.-The Perry
county Democrat relates the following of
Geary's visit to MELVILLE "The Negro
Suffrage candidate Johany Geasy 0, visit
ed Newville few days ago, personally
begging for votes. He walked the street
hat in hand, kissing the babies and fiat
tered their mammies, and was sweet on
the poor people generally. He presented
the abject spectacle, the first seen in the
history of our State, of candidate for
the first magistracy soliciting votes from
door 10 door. Sensible men, even of his
own party, were disgusted, and he failed
10 create the enthusiasm that his gallant
Q) achievements in Mexico and at Snick-
ersyille might have warranted. He went
into the tailor shop of our friend C., and
meeting there some six of the white ''boys
III blue" he Inquired" well, how many
votes will | get here?" There was a
general smile on the countenances of the
boys when one Of them who had formerly
served in the redoubta6le Generals regi-
ment and knew of his tricks at Chance
iorsville and Lookout Mountain, and how
he skulked and then claimed honors that
belonged to others, replied, g can't see it,
General, you might make good Provost
Marshal but YOU are 100 well known to
be made Governor The rest Joined in
the laugh and tie negro candidate bolted.
He had encdgh."

&" We stated, shortly after Geary
was nominated, that being an ignorant
and iiiterate man, the campaign would
be conducted for him entirely upon clap
trap tactics. The result has demonstra-
ted our prediction. At York a big cake
enabled the General to master the sssitua-
tom" at Mechanicsburg Mrs. Geary
was brought up as reserve; and at
Reading, when he got into his usual blow
about his achievements, two aegiment-
al battle flags were brought out and plant
ed on each side of him. OF course these
things are supposed 10 go right to the soft
places in the heads of the ignorant and
simple minded masses taking the place
OF sense, reason and principles; and re-
iering the candidate Of all the pressure
while, at the same time, they ssbring
down the house" Then the BOYS in
blue" (some of whom never smelled cnn
powder with their nice clean toggery,
Is another piece of clap-trap, intended to
take the place Of Geary's brains. Hum
bag certainly is great thing when 60 done
up brown y and if Three thousand Dol
lar Jordan and Negro Regiment Coils
and Court Marshal Owens don't under
stand that, then Phineas T. Barnum don't
know anything about woody horses and
FeJee mermaids.-Pat,1ot q Union.

Democrats and ''rebels to office, and that
he is constantly besieged by them, the
Washington special" g of the PhiIadel-

says tha: representatives of the Democrats
from all the Northern States have called
upon the President within the past five
days, and they unanimously concur in the
recommendation that Federal offices
should be bestowed upon Conservative
Republicans only. He says further that
" The Democrats do not ask for office,
but request Mr.. johnson to remove such
office-holders as oppose the policy of the
administration or abuse the President per-
sonally. And it may be added here that
the Democrats are not applying for pre-
ferment, and as yet, none have been ap-
pointed"

e5@ At the request of many prominent
Democrats, we withdraw from a contro-
versy inaugurated by US couple of week S
ago. 1t was our intention, in this weeks
issue to give the proprietors of the AUe-
ghanian the benefit of the largest portion
OF our paper. We have the material on
hand but not wishing to make enemies
OF friends, and friends of enemies, we re-
train from giving publicity to facts We
Will now stand on the defensive. We
made the attack, or at least il was con-
sldered an attack by them. Two or
three small local notices aroused their an
ger, and they pitched into US to an alarm
ing extent In conclusion we would say
that it is not through fear that we relin-
quish the subject We are capable of
taking our own part without the assistance
of friends. We write our own editorials,
collect our own locals, and ask no man to
assist us. Although any communication
OF political character will be thankfully
received by US at the present time. If
the controversy is resumed it will have to
be commenced by them. AS we stated be-
fore, we now stand on the defensive, and
await the re-opening of the 'sball" AL
though we would have willingly continued
the subject, if by SO doing we could please
all our readers and further the interests of
the party, upon which we depend on
for support and patronage.

The Coming Man.

The Niger caucus is over. Daniel is
the man. Not Daniel the Prophet, but
Daniel the receiver of profits Daniel the
manager of the Cambria Iron Company,
the oppressor of white men, the friend of
negroes, the endorser and sustainer of the
" Rump" Congress, the enemy of Andrew
johnson, the tool of unprincipled men,
the slanderer of Union soldiers, the stay
athome patriot, who was willing to sac
rifice the last man and the last dollar"
in defence of the Union, rather than sac
rifice his own precious life. He is the
Radical candidate for Congress in this
District He claims your votes. He
solicits your influence in the coming cam
paign. Can you support him. VIII you
support him iclate .freeme,s Of the 18th
Congressional District ? These are ques-
tions that must be answered, not through
the Radical organs of the District but
through the popular voice of the people,
on the Second Tuesday of next October.
AS yet we have no candidate in the field !;
but ere another week shall be recorded on
the annals of time, name will be pre-
sented by the Democracy of this District
that will meet with the approval of every
white citizen. We have no idea who will
be nominated We would prefer to see
Daniels opponent a resident of this coun-
ty. One who has labored for the success
of the Democratic party since Know
Nothingism, Republicanism and Radical
ism have taken possession of the county.
One who has stood by the Constitution
fearlessly and defantly in the last six
years, and who now upholds the restora-
tion policy of President johnson, with
the greatest firmness. 1t would afford us
extreme satisfaction to chronicle his nomi-
nation not only for his qualifications as
a legislator but as his popularity as citi-
zen. All that is required, all that is de-
sired IS his nomination and it will be the
harbinger Of victory. Victory that viii
redeem our country from the shoddy lords
who now rule our land, and who are op-
pressing our citizens with taxes and negro
appropriations.
