REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
Gen. JOHN F. HARTRANFT, Of Montg'y.
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL,
Col. JACOB M. CAMPBELL, of Cambria.

THE SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
Senator Wallace, Chairman OF the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, seems to
understand ''the situation, so far as Penn
sylvania is concerned, in reference to the
next Presidential election. AT Pittsburg
the other day he made a speech at Demo-
cratic meeting in the course of which he
said that the Democracy had a hard job be-
fore it to carry Pennsylvania against Grant
and Colfax. He demonstrated this with
figures, showing that last Fall, when Shars-
wood was elected by less than one thousand
majority, the Democrats polled ninety-four
per cent. of their whole vote, while the
Republicans cast less than seventy-fye
per cent of theirs. This year the whole
vote will be brought out, land the Democrats
will have to do some very tall cheating to
overcome the odds against them. With a
radical Democrat like Pendleton for Pres
idential candidate the Cops will be beaten
by at least 10000 majority, and he is by
odds the strongest man the Democrats can
trot out

Democratic Consistency.

The Copperhead Legislature OF Ohio has
adjourned till November 23rd next. Ii
passed a series of disgraceful acts One un-
dertakes to nulllty the decision OF their Su-
preme Court, made twenty years ago, as to
who may vote under the Constitution OF O.
hio-thus attempting to override judicial
decision by legislative act on a subject OF
which the legislative department has not
jurisdiction. Besides, they have prohibit
ed the Supreme Court from taking up any
case arising under it We hear from Cop
perheads everywhere, fierce and hot denun-
Citations of Congress for an alleged attempt
to interfere with the judicial acton OF the
Supreme Court of the United States, but
Congress dared nothing SO reckless and rev.
olutionary in principle as the Ohio Copper
heads have not only dared, bat actually donel
So the Copperhead piety on this class of
subjects, is, by their own confession, depen-
dent upon the circumstances OF the case. ="
Another act was to attempt TO dlsfran-
chise all students and professors IN colleges,
seminaries and academies IN Ohio. The
reason is, students aud teachers generally vote
the Republican ticket The Copperheads
profess to have great scrupleS about the
temporary disfrancbisement OF leading Reb-
els-who were guilty of great crime but
they have no scruples about dlstranchisIng
permanently whole classes of honest and re-
putable citizens when so doing holds out to
them the promise of making political capi-
al thereby.
Another act, of like character but worse
malignity, disfranchises all the worn and
wounded, battered and bruised, legless and
armless veterans who are in the soldiers
Homeat Dayton. This is done to help elect
Clement L. Vallandigham to Congress; for
whom it was reasonably supposed these 400
wounded soldiers would not cast their bal
lots
This legislation is sample of what would
be attempted in every loyal State in which
this abandoped party might get power. Its
Infamous -proscriptiveness, its malignant
wickedness It's defiant shanelessness prove
the real character of the Corperhead party
as essentially base, unscrupulous, and dan
gerous In defeat, it is whining and hypo-
critical. In victory, it is aggressive and in
soent. At all times, and in all places, it fol-
lows false lights, seeks base purposes, uses
Infamous means and deserves utter over
throw Gettysburg Star and Sentinel.

1t turns out that it waste keep the whis
key tax at the highest rate, not the acquit-
tai of the President, that Woolley and the
Ring of which he is an active member, were
sending mysterious messages all over the
country, and raising large sums of money.
Now as money could be used in no other
way than to corrupt members of Congress,
we hope that General Buffers committee
will push their investigation and find out
who got it. Hugh Hastings, the expert
member Of the Whiskey Ring, referred to
in Mr.. Weed testimony, AYERS that Wool
ley assured him that it took so much to
pay Butler and others for their support of
the two dollars tax that they could not do
much to assist the President" No doubt
this is a gross SANDER on General Butler,
but if there are those of whom the remark
is at all true, they should be exposed In
getting Woolley to testify the committee
have evidently struck lead, y and it is to
be hoped that it will be industriously follow
ed, and the whiskey thieves exposed.

Judge Ye.


The Republican party stands before the
country again in 1868, says the North An1er-
icaa, just as it did in 1860 and 1864, slmp-
" upon its record 1t asks to be judged by
what it has done, and relies upon no uncer-
tain promises of the future. In 1860 1t adj
vanced no new principle 1t took its stand
upon its well known advocacy of unceasing
hostility to slavery in the Territories, and
the people approved of it and elected the
Republican candidate to the presidency.
The slave power chose to stake its existence
upon the defeat of the principle OF freedom
in the Territories, and it lost the stake
slavery was obliterated This was the page
of events to which the Republican party
pointed in 1864 Again the people endorsed
it. The reactionists unable to maintain slave
ry, but regretting to part with 1t, attempted
to establish caste in its place, and the strug-
gle thereon has lasted until the present time,
but is now closing upon record OF the Re
publican party, in which is included the full
establishment of the civil and political rights
of the oppressed race, and the reconstruc-
tion of the South upon free basis.
In this contest many other things have
been settled. The Presidential power has
been restricted, Congressional authority
vindicated, and the Supreme Court retained
within bounds; the banking system reor-
ganized on sound basis, the currency made
national and reliable popular liberties pro-
tected at the South, the supreme authority
and power of the republic itself forever
fortified against assault from the spirit
of sectionalism, the State governments pur-
ged of oligarchy, and the foundations laid
for system of small landholdings at the
South. Thus the Republican party in
trenches itself for the ensueing campaign,
and acts upon the defensive, as it did in
each former case. 1t asks to be trusted On
account of what it has done. 1t has made
the nation greater and more respected by
the civilized world 1t has built up domeS-
tic manufactures on an immense scale by
means Of a protective policy. 1t has intro
duced at the South free common school ed
ucation. 1t has built the greater part of
the Pacific Railroad, brought in four new
States, brought everything back to peace
footing, and has steadily reduced taxation at
all points. If, then, we are asked why the
National Convention did not declare in IA
vor of this thing or that, we answer that
the party has hitherto made its claim for
support always upon the ground of what it
has accomplished or essayed, and asked to
be judged by the spirit of that. There is
very much yet to do, and the Republican
party is the only one competent for the
work.

"SAvING THE COUNTRY. The Whis-
key Ring appears to be engaged in the lau-
dable task of Saving the country" One
of the concern testified that during the i'm
parchment trial he placed to the credit Of
Wooley, for that praiseworthy purpose, the
modest sum of twenty thousand dollars, and
promised as much more as was necessary to
make the thing sure. Saving the coun-
try is the cloak under which the Ring op,
crates. 1t seems that certain Senators about
that time became deeply exercised about
what they should do to be saved Wooley
drew for the twenty thousand-and they

A PROMPT VINDICATI0N.-Som of the
Copperhead papers having asserted that
Mr.. Colfax had during the war told SOL
dier that he had no time ito fool with sol
diers, Mr. c. prompt denied the story.
But another witness has come on the stand
who fully vindicates Mr.. Colfax from this
foul Copperhead aspersion. Chaplain Lo-
zier, writing to the Indianapolis Journal, F"
after referring to the above, says that Mr.
Colfax, on one occasion, gave the Indiana
Sanitary Commission 800, at another time
sent the same sum, and once on the adjourn
ment of Congress during the war, gave his
entire mileage, 5000, for the relief of sick
and wounded soldiers When the Soldier S

Look att.

The entire capital, the Only stock-ln- trade
Of the Democratic party, Is the cry 1t raises
about the sacred obligations imposed by the
Constitution, and the alleged wrong com
mitted In imposing terms upon the seeded
States This coming from the party which
from first to last steadily supported the at
tempt to destroy the Constitution and over
throw the Government. Is sufficiently lmpu-
dent. The Democratic party Is as directly
responsible for the rebellion. and the long
train OF consequences, as the election OF
Buchanan. Democratic leaders deliberately
planned it. The war would have ended
with Its first year but for the support the
party gave to the South. Before the victo-
ry was won, while the last blow was about
to be struck, the party, In national conven-
ton assembled, declared that the war vas a
failure, demanded that it should cease and
the independence of the South acknowledg.
ed. Ever since the victory was won the
party has steadily sympathlzed with the
mourners for the lost cause, supported the
faithless President IN resisting Congress ID
It's efforts to restore.peace, and every way in
its power stimulated the spirit OF discord,
lawlessness and violence. But for the sup
port which Andrew johnson derived from
the Democratic party, in and out of Con
gress, every Southern State would have
been IN It's proper place IN the Union two
years ago; and instead of wasting delay and
doubt, the country would for that period OF
time have had peace and prosperity.
Whoever writes the history of the Demo
cratic party, must write against it the delib
crate secession of the States, after the army
and navy had been placed beyond call, the
arsenal of the North stripped and those Of
the South filed with war material; the ter
rible conflict which followed the steady
sympathy Of the party with the rebels, its
defeat in the overthrow of the rebellion;
the resulting debt; the more than inciina-
ton of the party toward reputation, and its
resistance to the purpose of the people to
reward with their confidence by electing
him to the highest position, the man under
whose leadership the final victory was won.
Whoever writes impair TALLY the history OF
the last eight years, must inevitably write
these things down against the Democratic
party, which now insults the sense of the
nation by setting itself up as the defender
of constitutional liberty, the champion OF
the Union of States, and the only party to
whom the management Of the questions
growing out of the war, including the ma
tional debt, can be safely entrusted. Let
these truths be kept in remembrance and
everywhere told 1t is the destroyer that
presents itself as the preserver; the traitor
that has become the model patriot; the
thief the only honest man.

The venemous spleen of the Copperhead
journals, says the Press, will not allow the
soldiers of the Union to be honored in their
graves, nor any display to be made of those
objects which they revered when living A
Democratic sheet in Mauch Chunk, paper
as sanderous as it is rebelious, disparages
the ceremonies over the graves of the ma
ton S soldiers which recently took place in
that town, by procaiming the wrong of
placing among the decorations likenesses
of Lincoln and Grant. While the editor 8
