ers in Pennsylvania have procured from
the War Department list of deserters
from the army during the war, from that
State numbering SIXTY THOUSAND, AND
PROPOSE TO CHALLENGE SUCH OF THEN As
SHALL OFFER To VOTE THE CONSERVATIVE
TICKET, and prevent their exercising the
elective franchise" - EC-
Observe. Ofthese sixty thousand, they
propose to challenge ONLY, those who
shall offer to vote the Conservative ticket"
that is for Clymer and the Democratic
nominees. All others, of course, are to
be allowed to vote--provided they cast
their votes for Geary. If deserters have
no right to vote they will be committing q
fraud in permitting deserters to vote for
Gcary. The above is clear confession
that the Disunionists intend either to un.
justly deprive men Of their votes, or to
commit fraud by accepting illegal votes for
Geary. They are certainly capable of do
inc either or both. g44s. ~ -
But how comes it there are SIXTY THOU
SAND deserters--more than ONE IN SIX of
all the Pennsylvania soldiers in service,
during the war? Because ALL THE Err.
RORs AND BLUNDERs OF FRY's CORRUPT
PRovosr MARSHAL BUREAU HAVE BEEN
HUNTED Up; and because at LEAST THIRTY
THOUSAND NAMES OF DEMOCRATS AND CON-
SENTATIVE REPUBLICANS. who. were never
in service ) never drafted who were up-
der and over age, and otherwise not liable
to draft or service HAVE BEEN ADDED by
the Geary managers order to OBJ
STRUCT and EMBARRASS and tryto
DEPRIVE THEM OF THEIR RIGHT
TO VOTE! .ua b.,
But this whole scheme is a deliberate
fraud. There is now no legal way to de-
prive an alleged deserter. or even deser-
ter, of his vote The act to dlsfranchise
deserters has been decided by the Supreme
Court to be unconstitutional, null and void.
Therefore pay no regard to their HUM
BUG LIST. and insist upon and secure
for every man qualified under the Consti-
tuition and Election Laws of the Common
wealth the inalienable right TO vote. Those
lists are more waste paper, and every elec-
tion officer, who rejects a deserter's vote
will be liable to be arrested and fined, and
also to be punished in damages and costs 10
civil snit; and every judge or inspector
who dares to violate his oath and reject
such votes, must be prosecuted and pun
ished to the full extent of the law. ~ ''-

THE ELECTIONS IN Is66--PAsTAND
s.r .. s.s TO COME, ".a

Those who have paid much attention to
the ebbs and flows of public sentiment, as
exhibited in popular elections, have al
ways remarked the affinity between the
diff rent States and observed that the first
results in the beginning of year are gen
orally good indications of those that are to
come Ever since 1s4O this PECULIARLY
has been the Distinguishing feature
of our political campaigns In fact, the
elections that commence badly for party
keep growing worse and progress in that
direction to the end of the year is sort of
geometrical progression. ...- ......r,. ..
1t is in view Of this fact that we have
every thing to encourage US in the aspect
of The times. The first important election
was in Connecticut. The Jacobins, there,
from having a majority of 10000, were
down to 600, and it was only by the most
tremendous exortions that they were saved
from utter defeat ..-.. '-...
THEN come Oregon and Nebraska. where
here were the closest contents, and in
each of which the Jacobin majority was re
-duced almost TO zero. Kentucky was next
OH tue llSl. III lOOo sue ives ABOUT a Tie
between the parties, but this year she goes
10000 Democratic. This glorious result
is responded to by Democratic triumph
in the distant Territory of Colorado, whose
settlers have recently met there from all
States. ' D
Democrats may rest assured that it is
no accident that causes this series of Dem
ocratic victories and gains. Neither is it
owing to local causes, for they would not
be likely TO happen in so many and differ
cnt parts Of the country. They are caused
by wldc spread dissatisfaction with the
course of the Jacobin majority in Con-
gress. This dissatisfaction will be more
strongly marked and developed in the
elections yet to come off In all the great
States the Jacobins will lose in the same,
it not greater ratio than they have in Con,
necticut, Oregon, Nebraska, Colorado and
Kentucky. In all of them they will be
beaten. The hand writing is on the wall.
The people of Kentucky and Colorado
have changed no more than will the men
of the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pesnsylva-
MIA and New York. The Democratic col
umn, assisted by its conservative allies and
otlier parties, is marching resistlessly to
victory. ..-. .......-

end Of the present contest, if we use rigor
ously and per>everingly the appliance of
triumph. Our opponents are reused to
frenzy at the idea OF being displaced from
tie positions. of which they have made
such profitable merchaudize. They will
put forth every. effort to overwhelm the
President policy, and to carry their meas
ures Of constellation, contiscation, disunion
and tie denial Of all evil rights to The
states and the men recently iu rebellion. O
We must organize, we repeat, if We ex-
pect success. We must meet the great
questions Of the day Oh the arena of discus
slou. We must extend the circulation of
Democratic newspapers. We must form
Democratic clubs IN every township, village
and school district throu ghout the land
The engines we must use are the press
aud the stump, and we must use. these with
d power, a perseverance,, and an energy
never equalled by us in any previous cam

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26, 1866.

During the rebellion my whole heart
and soul were enlisted in the first effors
toward its suppression; and now that it i
suppressed, feel it a pleasant duty to ext
tend to our rrpentant Southern brethren
the right hand of fellowship. Generous
magnanimity toward fallen foe is charac
teristic of brave men, and this principle is
eminently shown in the sentiments so warm
ly and frequently expressed lately by the
brave men who participated in subduing
the rebellion.
Trusting that the convention, by its wis
dom, moderation, and patriotism, may
strengthen the hands of the Government
in its efforts towards reconstruction and
conciliation, and meet the views and sap
port of all patriotic citizens, especially of
those who served in the army and navy
curing the rebellion, | remain very truly
yours, .. .. ~ .-.-.,.-t ..s.
