SHOWING It's CoLoRs.-The Pittsburg
Posttrusts that the Democratic Convention
at New York will manfully
Declare that It will aid and assist with the
whole power Of the Government the white
men in the South to re-establish the State
Governments as they existed at the outbreak
of the rebellion, excepting only the existence
of slavery, which has been abolished by the
amendment. . We trust also that the
Convention will give fair notice that white
mems votes, and white men votes alone,
are going to be counted at the Presidential
election.
This is certainly very ''candid and ont
spoken" proclamation. The Post wants the
old rebel State governments re-established,
and it advocates the exclusion OF the recon
structed States from the next Electoral
College. Nothing more explicit could be
asked for

A gentleman of Chicago, whose promi-
nent position and opportunities for Judging
of the situation give weight to his deciara-
tions, writes us: THE political campaign is
opening in this section with good spirit. We
will carry the Northwestern States for
Grant and Colfax by huge majorities, in my
opinion, no mater whom the Democrats
nominate. In illinois, we have strong
State ticket, and will win sure by 40, Oa0
This is my figure, The more sanguine count
on 60, 900 majority.

To SOLDIERS. The following infamous
paragraph appears in the Bellefonte Cop
perhead) Watchpaan of June 18th:
''The drunken General who paved his way
from Washington to Appomatox with the
skulls of his own countrymen, now asks the
friends of the thousands his drunkenness
murdered, to place him in the Presidential
chair
Meek was "Grey back" during tue war
for the Union, and he is as much opposed
to the soldiers now as then.

We sympathize sincerely with the De.
mocracy in their troubles. Up to this date
they have not decided whether to nominate
Republican or Democrat for President ;
whether they will stand on the platform of
gold or greenbacks whether their battle
cry will be Universal Suffrage" or "a
White Mans Government. OF course
Democratic principles are immutable-when
they decide what they are.

The Cops are twitting the RAIDS, y for not
commencing the campaign with more vigor.
Let them possess their souls in patience.
There is no glory to be obtained in fighting
dead organization without leader. As
soon as their Presidential candidates are in
the field they will find the Republicans ready
and eager for the fray.

The Democracy are just now engaged in
the extraordinary equestrian feat of riding

told that that game won't work.

the country will affirm at the election:

Notification RAMPANT.

That the Democrats have thrown
themselves, en- ,nasse, into the revolu-
tiousry projects of the Southern re-
aclionists and unconstructed rebel ele-
ment, is becoming every day more
evident. Not q Democratic paper can
we pick up, that does o bristle with
threatenings against the acts of Con-
gress, and express full approval of the
proposition Of their candidates for
President and Vice President, that if
they should reach the head of the gov
eminent, they will use its military
power-the army and nsvy-to over
turn reconstruction in the South, and
treat the laws of Congress as null and
void, and of no force. This is a revival
of the old spirit of notification, which
in 1888, arose in South Carolina, under
the lead of John C. Calhoun, but which
Andrew jackson suppressed with a
Tigor and determination that were
fatal to the absurd p%retensions of the
naughty ~nullifers. This rebellious,
nullifying, "rule or ruin" spirit, is now
not only rampant in the South, hut is
boldly advocated by the ever willing
tools of the Southern aristocrscy, the
Northern Democrats. When a party
becomes SO desperate, in its thirst for
Office, as TO pledge themselves to the
support of measures whose inevitable
tendency is to inaugurate rebellion and
war in the land, it is high time that
the friends of peace, Union, liberty, the
Constitution and the laws, should
boldly array themselves on the side OF
the Republican party, and labor for
the election of Gen. Grant, who has
promised to secure to the nation the
fruits of peace and Union which he, at
the head of our victorious soldiers,
Trested from the rebels through the
suf~ferings and sacrifices of a cruel war.

MEANWHILE, August 3lst, Is 6S.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE-The Penemites
in this region are alive. Just look into
this Young city. From the fine display OF
Yankee notions in the many shop win
dow,s and the heaps of various wares
stored on the sidewalks, one might almost
forget his longitude and imagine himself
snufing the ocean breeze Of some New
| England village. The Observer, who
stopped here with his package of sam
ples," six years ago, found one OF the qui-
etest little towns in the world. How 1000
souls could stay in as many bodies. and be
so contented, and withal, so self-satisied,
in seclusion from the rest of the world,
was q wonder to Observer. The promi-
nent store in the town, roof sagged in the
middle, wooden wall stayed up with
dry goods bOxes-"thls years sam
ples not IN dsmand"-the people mostly
wore last years styles. Now be sees IN
place Of GuinOp's OLD store, that splendid
three story brick block, containing more
stores than supplied the town before.
More jewelry in the corner than would
have stocked the place ten times as 1t was
ten years ago, and a huge hotel to lot sup
stairs" The old Fair Ground has given
place to the A. & G. w. K. K. depot,
hotel, shops and tenant houses, all teeming
with life, night and day. With a few la
inevitable exceptions the old wooden shells
along Water and Chestnut Streets have
given place to better constructed business
blocks, and Observer may carry his sam
pies" two miles out on the old State road
and find retailers to bay, when not too bu-
sy with their customers.
Oildom has made its mark here. Some

AWord From Beecher.

Henry Ward Beecher, regarded IS the
most gifted divine in the United States,
has a forclble way putting things from
force of habit. A recent letter from him
concludes us follows;
Since all the men that helped destroy
this Government are rallying around Ssy
mour. it is lit that all the men who stood
for the Union should gather about Grant.
1t Is an hour that will not happen twIc e
in = mans lifetime. No young man can
well afford TO throw away his chance.
Even if done, it ought to be in favor of
some better man than he VINO, through all
the years from 1860 to 1868, studied how
to help Southern treason without incur
ring the risks and pains of overt and
courageous reasonable acts.
