Since the formation of the Government
up to the present hour, the work of the
Democrats has always been to repair the
political and social damage the old Federal
or Tory factionists, whenever they got into
power, have uniformly perpetrated. Dem
ocratic administrations have always right
ed the abuses which the innate corruptions
of their political enemies, when by acci-
dent or chicanccry they obtained the reins
of Government, always committed. The
great reform, we trust, will commence with
the present year; but the job in the Augean
Stables in former times was childs play to
the work now on hand. While the blum
dcrers financial, moral and political, dis
grace the whole country, and are bringing
ruin in their train, the true reformers
should not be disheartened, but should put
their soulders manfully to the work, and
again, as in timespast and gone, endeavor
to get the old Ship of State once more on
the right track, with Il Democratic pilot at
the helm and Democratic crew ON

constitutional rights, and the perpetuation
of the Federal Constitution as it now stands
minus the '.patchoOrl" Of the Radicals
which if carried out, must end in utter
subversion of the great ends for which our
government was established.
Local affairs, in our own State also re-
quire our united and determined action.
a vast majority of the independent voters
and taxpayers of this State are now dis
franchised by the working of an infamous
and unconstitutional measure, IN tile Shape
of a registry law, passed under the pro-
lection of bayonets, and through the intim-
idation inspired by the unjust and discri-
minating edicts of martial law. The glor-
ious principle of "No tarotion uithom
Representation" which caused the Amcri-
can Revolution, and which eliminated in
the independence of.the United States
and which has been held sacred during our
national existence-has been utterly ignor-
ed by the dominant party in the State
and that party are now exerting every
means, honorable or dishonorable, to con.
tinue this abomination upon our Statute
books-and for the sole purpose of perpet-
uating their own powers, and keeping
themselves in Office, in order that they
may fatten upon the peoples means and
squander it as they see Gt, and that with
impunity.
Now Ftlioo Cti:eas: An organization,
similar to those referred to above has been
formed in Williamsport, styled the JoAn-
son Club Of Dis. No. 2.haviug fori its object
the unqualified support of President John
son and the measures and policy of his ad-
ministration considered essential to the
constitutional reconstruction of the States
as indicated in his messages and speeches;
and opposed to negro sullrrge in any shape
it may be presentcd;-also, the repeal or
modification Of the registry law of this
State, so that every white male citizen en-
titled TO the right of suffrage shall not be
intinlidatcd or Obstructed in the exercise
thereof--and as the officers and Executive
CoMMfrTEE of this organization, and au-
thorized by it SO to do, we extended to you
the privilage to assimilate yourselves with
ns i'll this great work ofredcmption, duty
we all owe to our country, our State and

We hope before the ensuing campaign

clude every citizen entitled to vote with.
