Mr.. Wallace's Speech.

In the last CiearfeM Republican find Hon,
W A. Wallace's reply to General Fisher, during
the discussion of the Stanton resolutions in the
State Sentative say Hon. w. A WoftGce'S reply
as we cannot stoop to the level Of the Repn5Llcan
and apply such epithets as ''ngger" to respect
able white man. During that debate Mr.. Wal
lace had asserted that ''most of the private sol
diers in the army were Democrats. Gen. Fisher
denied this declaration of Mr. Wallace, and then
alluded to the opposition of the Democrats to the
and drafts, and other lawless acts by mem bers
of that party, and then asked, ''Who will tell me
that the army was male up of Democrats, and
that Democrats fought the battles - At the close
of Gen. Fishers remarks, Mr.. Wallace rose and
addressed the Senate in reply, from which we
make the following extracts:
''The reports of your Adjutant Generals Office
will show that we sent into the field as many SOL
diers in proportion TO our population as any other
county in the Commonwealth, As brave soldiers
as ever went into the Pennsylvania Reserves came
from ny county; many of them were in the First
BucktaiIs, the Fifth Reserves, and the One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth Pennsylvania or Second
Bucktais. They were always in the advance.
Brave soldiers, all of them. True men"
"We were accused of resisting the draft; CO.
Iumb county was accused. We have forests in

the men from Lancaster, and Allegheny, and
Dauphin, and other densely populated counties,
fleeing from the draft sought refuge. Many
| Republicans found in our Businesses, where
| they hoped 10 avoid the provost marshall"
In these extracts we find two points, PROPOSE
tions, to which We intend to refer briefly as
possible: First, MIR. Wallace's attempt to create
the impression that most of the soldiers from this
county were Democrats; and second, that most of
the deserters thai fed into this county for safety
were Republicans
Then, first, Were most of the soldiers from this
county Democrats, or not2

Decrease.

From this it will be seen that the decrease in
the Republican vote was I42 moro than that in
the Dem ocratic, at the first election after the out
break of the rebelion-which decrease, no doubt,
was owing to the fact that many more of the for
mer than of the latter had gone into the army-the
decrease being nearly three Republicans to two
Democrats. But the army vote in 1861 and 1864
shows a still greater disparitY in numbers:

Now, 1t is evident that Mr.. allace, in the quo
tation from his speech given above intends to
convey the impression that large proportion if
not jority, OF the deserters who sought ref
uge in our fastnesses.' were Republicans from
the counties of '!Lancaster, and Allegheny and
Dauphin." Does the vote cast in the county show
this to be a fact? By means! But the reverse
is the fact-they Democrats
But, for Illustration, let us corcede that there
we're some Republican deserters among then, then,
the question would be, horv many? The last ta-
be given shows Republican increase from 1861
| TO 1854 of but votes and Democratic increase
of 969 votes-which increase, no doubt, Was main
ly owing to the fleeing hth er of deserters in the
hope Ito avoid the provost marshal" as Mr. Wal,
lace says 1t is clear then, if the large increase
in the vote in the county in 1864 the result of
this influx of deserters that only fee of those de-
serters could possibly have been Republicans and
voted for Mr.. Lincoln, while ntns hundred ami
stTty-n,ne of them Democrats and voted for
Gen. Mcclellan and the whole Democratic ticket
But, we do not assume to say that the whole
of tho Increased vote was the result of an infux
of deserters. Not at all portion thereof
is attributable to natural increase In popula-
tion; but, as to the per centage, we leave 9th
ers say We do, however, assert that not a sim
gle deserter who voted for Mcclellan was Repub-.
| lican. No; not one! All were Democratic draft
sneaks, beyond the possibility of a doubt! And
we challenge the proof to the contrary.
Such being the facts in the case, it is really sur
prising to US, that Mr.. Wallace should so far for
get his usual discreetness resort to such paI
pabie prevarications, as contained in his
speech,'to screen his party friends from the lust
odium that attaches to them for their opposition
to the war and the draft in 1864. And it would
not surprise any the less. in the future to find
him denying that he was represented in the Union
army by substitute, and that that substitute was
a negro, as is alleged-and also that about 275
other Democrats in this county represented
by 'snigger' substitutes in the army. in 1854
But. in conclusion, would just say, that we
agree with Mr. Wallace that the men who went
from this county were of the bragest of the brave
-''they alwaysin the advance" and always
left heir marks on the rebel ranks. That many
of them were Democrats whom they went out
stood by the Union its sorest need and are still
the firm friends of that Union is a fact; but it is
equally true most of them vote the RepubIi-

This table shows that there was gradual de-
crease in the Republican vote in the four elections
previous to that of President in 1864, except in
1868, when the soldiers were permitted to come
home and vote, in consequence of the decision of
Judge Woodward that they had no right to vote in
the army-while, on the other hand it shows that
the Democratic vote increased largely during the
same years, And further, the same figures show
the relative increase of the vote in the two par
ties (from that of Assembly in 1861, the first year
of the rebellion, to that Of President in 1864, the
last election before the close of the war; to be as

We think the above exhibit of the official vote
of 1850 and 1861, and more especially the army
vote of 86I and 1864, establishes the fact beyond
peradventure that most of the soldiers from
Clearfeld county were not Democrats-the insin-
uations Of Mr.. Wallace to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
Second, We're most of the deserters who fed
into this county FOR safety Republicans, or not?
Reference being had to the official returns from
1860 to 1864, including the Presidential vote in
the latter year the following results appear.

received three shots, one in the back of

The Democratic Nominee.

without satisfactory solution, who is "a

Justice Chase is 10 be the parsonage who
is most probable TO receive the nomina-
ton.
II is a great query as to what sort of
political machinery can be put in opera.
ton by which he can step upon any polit.
zeal platform they can frame, or how they
can take him with heretofore expressed
views upon many of the political ques-
tions under discussion in the present cam
paign. 1t would seem, in looking over
the field, that more than half the party
would bolt him outright Yet as politics
in this day are very uncertain, a scheme
may be concoctcd, which will unite the
party and bring him forward as the stand
ard bearer.
Mr.. Pendleton's friends are strong and
confident; yet his nomination is improb-
able for the reason that the two-thirds
rule will be enforced on him, and again
because to minority of his party he is
an offensive man, on account of his rec
ord in the war and his financial notions
Against two-thirds rub he will be pow
erless and so confident are his opponents
within the party that his nomination
would ensure defeat, that they risk eve
rything on his overthrow They are as
yet without unity of purpose and without
agreement upon the man whom they will
put in opposition to him. Some are for
General Dix, or for younger leader in !
the person of Gen Hancock. When har- !
mony of action is finally forced upon I
them, they will, however, linda candidate
upon whom they can agree, and then
Pendleton viii be compelled to retire be-
fore the advancing wave of his own party.

can be brought forward that will prove
satisfactory to his friends, 1t cannot be
General Dix, surely, for If man hauls
down the American Flag, shoot him on
the spot" is a command not out of mem /
ory, and which they can never forgive. |
Gen. Hancock led loyal hosts, and he is in
cluded in the barrier pronounced against
Dix. We, therefore, without an entirely
new man is selected, can see no hope of
consistent union except on Horatio Sey-
mour of New York and on him osm-
promise may be possible. His financial
opinions would in all probability be sat
isfactory to the monied men of New York
city and his bold ideas during the war
acceptable to the original rebels of the
party, and therefore will be the weakest
nomination tina, can be made A subser-
Went politician to his friends, he would
excite no enthusiasm, especially in the
west, where his close attention to the
money changers, of Wall street would be
a grave cause of objection, which his hostil-
ity 10 the war would make him obnoxious
at the East. 1t is To be hoped the friends
Of Seymour will face him to the race and
in that event who can calculate the large
majorities that would roll up for General
Grant in all sections of the country.
