Grand Army Of the Republic.

A Post Of this institution, which has
never been anything else than o political
machine to hoodwink and deceive men into
the support Of the Radical ticket, was Or
ganized in Bloomsburg on Tuesday evening
Of last week, by some truly "loir' chaps
from Danville. We don't see how they got
along without Hans Geary, the hero Of
Snickervile, and who furnished the plan
for Gen. Hiram Grant to take Vicksburg.
But we suppose Hans will be around before
the election and show them how to handle
the shooting irons which the Rump en-
deavored to appropriate to shoot the ras.
caly Copperheads who refused to vote for
Grunt and Grabtax. This organization has
been in operation in the Western and in
some ofthe Eastern States for several years,
and We take this occasion to caution all our
readers, and especially Democrats, to keep
their skirts clear Of it. Whenever party
has to resort to such means to get votes for
their candidates, they are certainly in a bad
way, and the thing bears evidence Of
rottenness. The true principle Of repub.
!ican government is to oppose every secret,
oath.bound, political organization. Every
citizen should have the manhood to 20 to
the polls and vote for whom he pleases. If
he must be bound by an oath, he had far
better have no vote at all, for he is only
tool for the unprincipled and unscrupulous.
Dirty Work" Logan, who tried to raise
men for the rebel army in Southern Illinois,
at the beginning of the war, is the chief
devil Of this organization, and its sole object
is to elect the Radical ticket. Again we
say, keep hands off.
