Do Democrats ever think Of the
value Of one Uote, and how easily they
may make that one vote if they but
determine to do it? Every grain of
sand is a part of the shore; every wave
is a portion ofthe deep; as the momen-
tum of one wave carries others with it,
and finally encroaches upon the shore,
sweeping away one grain of sand after
another, so may each one of us by
ceaseless exertion, encroach upon the
ranks of the enemy and build up De,
mocracy upon this "bank and shOal OF
time,u

Col. MCCLURE has employed Mrs.
Swisshelm as a correspondent for his
paper. Judging from the RepoSHory's
fear of President Johnson, we had
thought that there was sufficient old
grannyism in that paper without the
addition of the twaddle of that misera-
bic old scold, Mrs. Swisshelm. But
termagants like Anna Dickinson and
Jane G. Swisshelm furnish the ideas of
the Thad Stevens faction, and the Re
publican" party of the present day is
emphatically under petticoat govern
ment.

How DO YOU LIKE IT, SOLDIERS =?
You who fought for the restoration Of
the Southern States TO the Union, how do
you like the programme adopted by
Congress to keep those States out Of the
Union? How do you like the eXpen-
diture of millions to keep up the Ne
gro Bureau, whilst you and your fam
lies must eat your bread by the sweat
of your face? How do you like the
continual, persistent and endless legis-
lation by Congress for the blacks,
whilst not a single enactment is made
for your relief? How do you like the
doctrine of the Radicals that you
fought for Negro Suffrage and the f.
quality of the Races, instead Of for the
Union and the Constitution? If you
like all this, vote for Gen. Geary. If
not, cast your ballot for Hester ely
mer, the candidate ofthe Union men
Of Pennsylvania.

WE learn that there is still consider
able discussion in the ranks Of the Dis
union Thads, rs to whether Geary
ought not to withdraw. TheprOspects
of CIymer's election are very bright,
whilst every day brings renewed evi-
dences Of Geary's unpopularity, hence
the Thads are seriously cogitating up
on the subject of Geary's withdrawal,
and We should not be at all surprised if
the redoubtable General were soon to
receive a written request to get out of
the way for a new candidate. Of
course, we hope he will insist upon re-
naming on the track. The hero of the
Harper's Ferry spittOon, is the very
man we can whip the easiest, nOtwith-
standing the fact that he made a very
clean ran from Snickersville, when he
imagined Stonewall Jackson was after
him. Besides he is Democrat with
out a prefix, or an aftiX," and if he
should happen to be elected, we can
easily show him a good reason to imi-
tate Andy Johnson. Therefore, we
hope the Thads will not think any
more of Withdrawing him.

the cashier to his home, gagged his

p1suNIoN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Thad-ite faction of the late "Re-

The machine was run principally by
our friends Maj. Washabaugh and c.
w. Ashcom, Esq. After much wire
working and button-holing, a tick
ct was put up to be knocked down
in October. The candidates selected
for the sacrifice are as follows: Pro-
thOnOtary, J. W. Lingenfelter, Bed
ford bor.; Sheriff, n. c. Evans. Cole
rain; Commissioner, Samuel Shafer,
Union; Poor Director, H. II. Fisher,
South Woodberry; Auditor, J. r. o.
Neal, Monroe. Our friend Mai. Di-
bert had thirty-four delegates instruct
ed and pledged for him for Sheriff,
whilst his opponent had but fourteen,
but the wire-Workers soon "fXed up"
enough of the thirty-four to give Evans
a majority of four. But such is the
way ofthe world. "SureIy all flesh is
grass" But the grand fight was for
the nomination for Representative
The candidates were Col. John II. Fill
Ter, Capt. John S. Stuckey, J. r. Dur
borrow, Esq, and Hon. G.. d. Trout.
As in the case of Mr.. Dibert, Col. Fill
Ter had clear majority Of the Conven-
ton pledged to him, but on the first
ballot received y votes-necessary to
a nomination .. The Convention in
structed for Mr.. Householder for
Senator, by what vote we did not
learn. When we say that there
never was so much disappointment
and bitterness among the "Repub-
licans" Of this county, as was pro-
duced by the conduct and nominations
of this Convention, we only say what
every man in this community knows
to be true. But be the nominations
bitter or sweet to our opponents, they
are destined to be beaten by an over
whelmingmajority. The "dead march"
played for the benefit of the Conven-
tioh, by the Republican" Brass Band,
was very appropriate to the occasion.

Important to Distillers.

f Commissioner Rollins has issued the
following, dated the 26th ult:
Ihe attention Of collectors is called to the
53d section OF the internal revenue act,
which provides that distillers' bonds may
be renewed Or changed from time to time, i'm
regard to the amount aud sureties thereof
according to the discretion of the collector:
also, to instructions In form No. 80 (dstil-
lers' bonds, (Which specify that the penal
sum naued in the distiller's bond should
be twice as great as the probable
amount of the monthly tax. See also sec
ton II of circular 81.
The minimum amount Of the penal sum
named IN the distiller's bond should be dou-
Bile the amount OF duties upon the monthly
production Of the distiller, Notwithstanding
any portion Of it may be placed in bond.
The collector should at once examine the
bond OF eaeh distlller in his district, and
If he does not fiud that the penal sum in
every case conforms to the above rule, he
should require new bond, fixing the penal
SUM at the proper amount.
Ihe collector should approve no bond
unless the suretles upon it make oath that
they have no peeuniary intetest in the dis
tlliefy, ana that they are worth over and
above their debts, the amount for which
they are respectively qualified
Ihe collector should require new bond
whenever he has reason to believe that
the sureties, or any OF them, have acquired
an interest in the distillery, or that any OF
them are unable, or about to become
unabiey to respond in the amount Tor
which they have justified.
When distiller, relative to who1n sus-
picion is entertained, applies for license,
the collector will see that the penal sum is
OF ample amount, and the sureties Of abun-
dant means to respond in damages. The
security must be commensurate with the
risk.
No collector will suffer distillery to
be operated unless it's owners comply
with these regulations.
