DaY Is Breaking,

We are but dShlRg Of the people now what
was DEMANDED of us-the support of the
administration in its efforts to restore the
Union of these States If it was euer true,
it is true NOW, that the man that is openly
opposed to the Administration issecretly op-
posed to the government The right arm
of strength has been taken from the Disun-
ionists by this quarrel with the President.
The conservative DsdSseS see that their only
hope rests in the ascendency of the Nation
al Democratic party OF the Union. 1t is the
only party organization that Is not sectional,
and, therefore, the only one with which Ma
tional men can unite--whO desire to see this
great people again united, prosperous and
happy The local elections that have been
held since the President and Congress COLI
ed show that we viii have the support, as
we always have had the prayers, of conser-
vatiye men of all parties.

and the poIce- Of buytng rOtes-the three-fold

successes heretofore-Hill not avail this time.
Deprived of these the Disunionists will be
like merchant without his stock in trade

let omitted.
Old Democrats are coming back to The old
party Those who went over from honest
motives-now that the circumstances that
contributed those motives have ceased to ex-
ist-will naturally find their way back to the
party that aims at the object that induced
them to sustain the Administration of Mr..
Lincoln-the restoration of the Union
Those who have been deceived will discover
the deception and return. And we almost
fear that those who went over for gain and
the love of it viii come back-on the princi-
pies enunciated by the Divine Teacher, that
'wheresoever the carcass is, there will the
eagles be gathered together
The endorsement of our principles. by the
best men In the nation, while it gives us new
confidence that WE ARE RIGHT, is tower of
strength in making accessions to our ranks.
Whether Cowan, Dixon, Norton, Dolittle,
ct dG of their school, shall act with us in the
future, is question which they shall decide
for themselves. We have their voluntary
testimony to the soundneSs of our principles,
the wisdom of our policy, the purity of our
motives and the safety of our plan of restor-
ing the Union. They are the self-sacrificing
patriots of the country who serve it from
disinterested motives. They strengthened
us in our good work, and shall be honored
for it.
Certainly never did Democrats enter a
contest with such buoyantfeehngsas animate
us in 1866. The justice of our cause.-the

be sufficient motive But. super-added is

Startling Admissions from a Re-
publican Editor.


The New York TS;anss in commentig upon
Mr. Raymond $ late speech ID the National
House. of Representatives,, and in which he
acted as dictator to the Disunion party, in
regard to its future principles and power,
made the following honest acknowledgment:
''For the last fifteen years the Republican
and the Union parties have been compelled
to content themselves with sectional organ
ization. The warfare concerning Slavery had
driven them out Of the Slave States. They
had only what strength their principles could
give them in the North and West, but
their principles were strong enough in 1860
to give them the victory, and were, for the
first time in our history, embodied in the ad-
ministration of the. National Government
That victory involved the country in war
of sections, and until that war was closed,
nothing buta sectional contest could be car
ried on.
Just what the Democratic party for the
last fifteen years have constantly contended,
that the Republican party is ard has alsoays
been a sectional one, and that the late war
was nothing but a sectional contest in which
Democrats were lead to participate by a lie
ing, treacherous administration.
ANOh lAldI llllS SCOllOudl OlRdlliIdllOu DSlS
accomplished its object of conquering the
South, and signally failed in enforcing Ne
gro Suffrage and Negro Equalityon the peo-
pie of both sections, seeing that their sec
tionalism is about to be condemned by a bur-
dened and outraged people,-that their
whole scheme has been nothing but school
of deception upon Q. hugh scale, their lead
ers, ike Mr. Raymond, are pleading and
praying that their sectionalism must be laid
aside-that unless new interests and new mo-
tives shall control their party in the future
they are doomed to everlasting infamy.-
Hence this startling and unexpected confes-
sion. A point whicllthey have persistently
denied for the last fifteen years.
Mr.. Raymond alsotells his party that this
session of Congress has beenspent-we may
almost say wasted in fruitless partizan leg
islation ''The efforts of the Republican
party have been, not to promote wise and
just reforms, but to perpetuate the sectional
ascendency which the war has given them. !"
And to counteract this unwise policy on the
part of the Republican party, he argues
strong for the holding of a National Union
Convention at Baltimore or Philadelphia, in
order to get the views of the party before
they adopt the whole country for their field
of labor. We hope that something will be
done to check the present unwise policy of
the Republican party, and to effect this we
think the best thing and the only thing that
viii effectually put an end to their sectional
schemes viii be an overwhelming defeat at
the polls this Fal. Let this be the object of
every good citizen Who'll has his country's well
fare at heart, let uretforts be directed tothis
end and our wishes VIII be realized, and ma
tional and individual harmony and prosperi-

Our Position.

In respect to the aid or assistance of a
newspaper, in making nominations within
its own party, we think it should remain en-
tirely silent. Inthis county where nomi-
nation is equivalent to an election, we know
that the battle must be fought previous to
the nominating Convention, and knowing
that our candidates are all worthy and en-
tirely capable of filing the positions for
which they are announced, the matter, with
US, shall be left where it rightfully belongs,
exclusively with the people of the county,
relying on the honesty and abilities of our
candidates to promote the public interests as
servants of the people. Feeling assured
that the people viii not suffer for want of
competency, in any of the candidates, we
are determined not to interfere either for or
against any one who comes out for Office,
before the nominating convention meets
Notwithstanding the entreaties and demands
we think our duty is to support our party
principles and make Its organization as strong
as we can. To dothisevery candidate should
have clear field and fair play. To favor,
with newspaper, the nomination of any
particular candidate would be improper,
besides, wrong to the other candidates
and their friends. 1t would help to get up
factions and splits, which every Democrat
should do his best to prevent. At this time,
more than any other, we need union and har-
mony among the members Of the Democrat
ic party. Let every candidate place himself
squarely and fairly before the people; let
justice be done, one to another, and let every
one be fully determined to abide the result
cheerfully. Those who shall be placed in
nomination by the convention, will receive
our willing and undivided support and the
support of the Democratic party. Those
who shall be defeated, as some of them must
be, have only to abide the result as the fate

THEIR POLITICAL RIGHTS By ACT OF CON-
qREss MARCH 3, 1885.
Last week the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, sitting at Wilkesbarre, decided, by
a majority against the above mentioned act
Hof Congress, which act was intended to dis
franchise deserters from the military service
andnon-reporting drafted men. As our opin-
ion of both the act of Congress and of our
State Legislature has been heretofore ex-
pressed, time and again, in our paper, we
deem it only necessary to say at this time,
that it is perfectly astounding, that two JUS
tees, upon the Supreme Bench, should re-
fuse for moment, to condemn those acts
as unconstitutional when they are in direct
conflict with the Constitutions of both the
State and Nation. That Goyesnor Curtin,
would lend his aid and signature to such leg
islation we at times had serious doubts. How
ever, with little reflection of the past con-
duct of the man, the complete tool he has
been for tyrants and mobs, it is surprising
that we could ever expect anything better of
him than to find him engaged in doing the
bidding Of knaves and intolerant partizans
His chief acts of life consist in pardoning
convicted criminals, because they were Dis
unionists, recommending partial and pro-
scriptive legislation, dog-killing and drunk
enness.
Let the thanks of every citizen who is a
lover of law and liberty, be rendered to JUS
tees Woodward. Thompson and Strong
Let the curses and fingers of shame rest on
the partizans Reed, and Agnew, who follow
the lead of Stevens and Sumner, claiming
that the late war abrogated Constitutions
both State and Federal. The legal talent of
the country and the good sense of the peo-
pie is and ever will be in favor of Woodward,
Thompson and Strong, and against Reed and
Agnew. 4,r,
Let us be thankful that we yet have some
men, in high positions, whowill defend Con-
stitutions, rights of citizens, law and liberty.

Disunionism viii Out.

It appears that we disturbed the equili-
brium of Stokes & Co., of the Hazleton
Sentinels which proposes to be of neither
party, yet wholly devoted to theinterests of
the Disuniou Rumps. The editor foams and
threats terribly and calls us hard names, such
as 'srebel organ,p JEFF. Davis sheet" &C..
for the simple reason that we denounce the
treacherous, niggardly and unjust course of
Andy Curtin; and refuse to praise and hold
up the dirty hands of the thieving officers,
outlaws and robbers of the s'Nigger Bu-
reau,' which have lately been arrested BY
orders from the President. We believe that
the people in the vicinity of Hazleton, know
what they sreabout andwilI not permit them
selves to be charmed and ensnared by the
vile serpent of Disunion, the Hazzeton Sen
tine1, under the guise of neutrality.
lIt pleases us when we find where the dis
ease Is seated In our patient, and we have GER
tainly found the tender spot in Stokes,
and win continue from time to time to apply
a remedy. And in the first place we advise
him not to stick the niger out in Hazleton
or ne win lose great portion of the patron

about his financial affairs, nor do we wish to,
but from the tone Of his paper we judge he

Sectional Political Parties.

In these days of trials, of new ideas, of
party adyaneementand of politicalreconstruc-
ton, it is highly important that the Demo-
cratic party should in the future, as in the
past, guard against anything looking towards
sectionalism. Let it still be the aim and OBJ
ject of the Democrats party to inculcate
nationality of sentiment, and make its geog-
raphy and boundaries nothing less than the
entire Republic. The foundations, the struc-
ture, and the principles upon which the
Democratic party was built are as pure, as
deep, as broad and as substantial as they
were when our Democratic organization orig
mated a-f 81
WASHINGTON and WEBSTER described
the dangers and perils of sectionalism which
appeared in their time, and the present gem
Grafton are realizing the serious and burden
some consequences of a naughty, reckless,
intolerant and reasonable sectional party
AS Democrats, upholding the fundamental
principles of freedom and constitutionalism
upon which that organization originated, we
believe the only thing required to place the
Democratic party in power, now and perma-
nently, South as well as North, is by stand
ing firm to its nationality. And to do this
we do not see that it is necessary toconstruct
any new party or parties. Without the
exact principles of the Democracy, true po-
itical unity with all sections will be impos-
sible. Itcannot be successfully contradicted
that the Republican party is, and always has
been purely sectional party. Itsmeasures,
its platforms, its war policy, its Legislation
and its entire action, all are, and have been,
shaped and guided to this end. They are
determined that the white people of the
South shall have no chance even if the
poor white people of the North are degraded
and burdened to effect their purposes
They, the Republican party, have decided
that there shall be no Union party at the
South unless they are black men, or, if
white, they must become equals to the ne
gro. That this is the Radical programme
we think none dare deny, and that their
practices and principles are radically sec
tional, we think no one viii deny. Therefore,
the Republican party is unworthy the sup
port of the people of the nation and cannot
exist permanently while there is nothing
in the fundamental principles of the Demo
cratic party to prevent it from its usual CON
trolling power in each and all the States of
the Union, Southern equally with Northern.
Let this course be strictly pursued by our
leaders, and all viii yet be WELL
