he following note:
Dearest Eide, know
It's not quite apropos
For Tommy to give you a mitten
But you must understand,
With your dear little hand
I've long been most desperately smitten.
That hand to enfold,
And shield from the cold,
Shall be my most earnest endeavor;
If you'll but agree
My sweetheart to be-
And l know you'll repent of it never.
Let us hope, when we're older,
With hearts not grown colder,
Though childhood's enjoyments are over,
You ne'er will intend
A mitten to send
To Tommy, your earliest lover.

TROUBLE AMEADl
Armed Traitors OF Maryland.


The startling condition of affairs in
Maryland, is we'll calculated to arouse
the apprehension of every lover of
the country for its future peace. There
is no denying the fact that the rebels
of Maryland, including hundreds of
vagabonds from Virginia and the Car
olinas, who once served in the rebel
armies, are now being organized into
what is called a Maryland State Mill
tia for no other purpose than that of
backing Andrew Johnson in treason
able plot to prevent the re-assembling
of Congress. Special telegraphic dis
patches from Washington inform the
public that Andrew johnson would
await the result of the elections on
the Sth of October before proceeding
to further action on the subject of re-
construction. If Pennsylvania and
the other States which elect on the Sth
of October give Copperhcad MAORI
ties, Mr.. johnson declares that he will
accept the result as an endorsement of
his policy; that he will resist the ac-
tion of Congress, and if needs be dis
perse the members thereof as revolu-
tionary and illegally organized body.
A friend of ours recently from Balti-
more, says that the Maryland militia
is composed of rebels, and that there
is no doubt Governor Swami intends
to place this military force at the dis
posal of the President in preventing
Congress to re-assemble. These are
grave and startling facts. We ask
the people to ponder them well. The
element which Mr.. johnson now aims
at using to prevent the assembling of
Congress is composed Of the same
men who waited in the city of Balti-
more to assassinatc Abraham Lincoln,
while on his way to Washington to be
inaugurated President for the first
term-the same men who assailed the
volunteers of Pennsylvania and Mass
achusetts when they marched through
Baltimore to the defense of the nation
al capital. Prompt action at the bal
lot-box in Pennsylvania may render
it unnecessary for our fellow citizens to
march again through Baltimore to the
defense of the national capital against
the assaults of traitors. This is a Sc
rious fact. We urge it home on the
attention of every voter. Andrew
Johnson himsel has declared that Re
publican majorities only can deter
him from resisting the representatives
of the people from assembling, and
prevent him from destroying the pco-
pies government.

The predictions Of the Democratic
party have always been verified. Our
warnings to the workingmen have al
ways been in season and our assertions
borne out by events.-C1pperhead Er.
Let us see what your record for
truth and reliability has been.
You predicted that the South could
secede without war-but it couldn't!
You said the North would not fight
but it did!
You said one Southerner could whip
five Northernes--but he couldn't.
You asserted that we had no power
to coerce them-but we did.
You said that we never could con.
quer them-but we did!
You predicted that a bushel Of
greenbacks would not buy dinner
but it will!
You resolved that the war was
failure-but we succeeded!
You predicted that the State OF
Pennsylvania would elect the Peac,
Democrat, Woodward, Governor, il
1868, and the rebel Clymer in 1866
but you didn't.
You are now predicting that yor
will elect the repudiator, Sharswoot

For the REPUBLICAN.
THAT "HUGE swINDLE."

Mr.. EDrroR:-I beg leave, through
the columns of your paper, to reply to
an article published in your paper
signed by the Commissioners and .'ad-
dressed to the Tax payers Of Greene
county. I do this in order to expose
the political design exhibited by the
article. The insinuation is that the
State Treasurer is now demanding
$1,000 O6 tax from our citizens wrong
fully and that they (the Commission
ers,) being "bound to obey him, they
want the responsibility to rest where
it belongs" If these Commissioners
believe this they are most grossly ig-
norant, and should consult some one
who can tell them better. The man
date of the law is all that they should
consult and not the will of State
Treasurer. The courts are open to
them as well as individuals, and any
encroachment made upon the rights of
our citizens, should be by them, speedi-
ly resisted. The thing is either right
or wrong, and if wrong they should
resist it. But, inasmuch as they do
not resist it the inference is strong that
it is right, and all they say about it is
hypocritical and done with an evil de-
sign.
But to the law and the testimony:
BY the act of April 80, 1864, the
old Board of Revenue Commissioners
consisting of one member from each
Judicial District was abolished, and a
new Board appointed, composed of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, State
Treasurer and Auditor General.
Circulars were sent to County Com
missioners for Valuation of Personal
Property. A few of the returns are
appended, which show the inequality {:

FORCIDLE RESZSTANCE.

The Post says Governor Gcary
threatened, in his speech in Pittsburg,
that he would call out the State troops
"to aid the rump Congress to displace
the President" and adds, "Geary had
better not try that on. lie may find,
possibly, two armies here"
Remarks the Gazette, of that city,
every Intelligent man knows that nc
one in Congress has proposed to dis
place the President except by impeach-
ment; and no principle of the Consti-
tuition is more plain than that which
authorizes them to do so. No men,
Der of Congress has proposed to GO
outside the limit of the authority
plainly conferred by that instrument
in this matter of displacing the Presi-
dent and it is the threatened forcible
resistance Of that right by Mr.. John
son, and his party, which Governor
Geary proposes to meet by counter
force. To sustain Mr.. johnson in his
menaced resistance to the constitutional
authority of Congress the Post now
threatens us with the 100000 men
who voted for Clymer and pronounces
the purpose of Gov. Geary "wicked
piece of folly"
In 1860 the party of the Post said
to the people Of this country, "ifyou
elect Lincoln and Hamlin we will dis
solve the Union! The people lis
tened, and replied, "We have con-
stitutional right to elect Lincoln and
Hamlin. Some of us do not care much
for them or the principles they repre-
sent, but we should like to know
whether the Constitution or democratic
thunder is the supreme law of this
land! We elect Lincoln and Ham,
lin, and now let us see the long threat
ened dissolution y
If we remember correctly what hap
pened in the next four years, the I'm
ion was not dissolved. Now, some Of
the people propose to impeach the
President, if just ground shall appear
on trial. The President says, "Ifyou
do, will dissolve Congress, and the
Post says that Pennsylvania demo-
Gratis will spring to arms, and join him,
if our State troops, in obedience to
our regular State authority, should
Interfere to sustain Congress in the
exercise of its constitutional authority!
Does this look like repetition of the
old democratic policy of forcible resis-
tance to the constitutionally expressed
will Of the people? We think il
does. Ifa large party could threaten
an appeal to arms in case of its defeat,
in a constitutional election, and after
ward make good the threat, the same
party, threatening resistance, in case
ofa constitutional proceeding of Con-
grss, may reasonably bs expected u

The Reading Ga-cti' (Copperhead)
calls upon its readers to "charge home" ="
1t seems disposed to have things done
in military style now that the war is
over. The charges made during the
war, by great many Copperheads in
these parts, were toward the Allegheny
mountains and other unknown regions.
If they called that charging home it
certainly did not harm their friends,
the rebels, very much, but on the con-
trary was in their behalf. The "char-
ges home" now called for by the
Gazette aare still of the same style, in
behalf of traitors and rebels.-Bed-

respondent Of the Messenger, has been

Cross. Perhaps his devoutness is gen.
uine, but it is poor political creed
that a man has when it won't mix with
his politics. The tax collectors down
about Mt. Morris, say "Bitc" is a tpo.
sided affair anyhow, and that it is hard

Ifthe sensational "quill driver" of

means by "FoRcING negro suffrage

ply to the accusation. This he has
yet failed to do. The charge has been
made often but as yet has no substan-
tia!ion. We hold that the wishes of
the majority of the people should be
consulted on all questions of State or
National interest. So do Republicans
everywhere. So docs Hon. Henry
W. Williams, and those who vote for
him vote for that principle, and
against the Democratic theory that capi-
tai should crush labor and the minority
rule the majority!

WAS the war right? This is the
whole issue Of the campaign we ar,
fighting, and it cannot be cvaded. A
vote for Sharswood is a vote against
the policy and conduct of the war. A
vote for Williams is vote for it. II
Sharswood, with his Calhoun ideas, is
right, the war was unconstitutional
If Williams is right, the war was con.
stitutional, and our soldiers have not
died in vain. This one great fact
this one direct issue-cannot be kept
too constantly in view. 1t will dis.

WE call attention to the answer
given by Spectator" in another col
umn, to an article in the Messenger Of
two weeks ago, respecting the new
levy of State Taxes lately made by
our county commissioners. 1t appears
that this new taxation was occasioned
by the awEacardness, (mild term Of
our own County officers, the CoMMIs-
sroNERs, instead of the Radicals as
charged by the Messenger. We wonder
If Mr.. Pauley was to call on the Com
tnissioners, if they could not explain
to him why it is that our taxes for
County purposes this year are SO high,
when the State gets nothing from
real estate at all and so little from
personal property?

"CONsIsTENCY, &c."

In war Democracy was opposed to a
restoration of the Union-we use the
language of the Chicago platform-by
arms, and in peace it opposes recon-
struction by law. In 1864 it declar-
ed the Union broken, dissolved by the
secession of the Southern States !; in
1867 it maintains the doctrine that nc
State can secedc and consequently that
the integrity of the Union was never
disturbed. During the war it OPP
posed every effort that was made by
the Government to restore the Union
1t asserted the unconstitutionality OF
almost every war measure and oppos-
ed the exercise of even unquestionablc
prerogatives. Peace was conquered in
spite of its hindrances, and now that
the war has ended it opposes peace
able restoration of the Union on the
grounds that reconstruction is not
needed, the Union never having been
dissolved. Now you see it, and now
you don't seei it. Presto! change
