The Right View.

Since the Vermont election the Herald
has taken new tack and pronounces the
Seymour and Blair cause hopeless. As the
first preliminary skirmish of the great
national battle of November" it proves
that Seymour and Blair cannot come to time
1t says:
The Democratic party, in its Presiden-
hal ticket and platform, and by its speakers
and newspaper organs, has raised the issue
of the unconstitutionality Of the present
Congress, ,and of every Congress and all acts
OF Congress since the beginning of the war
which has made this Presidential contest
substantially the contest of 1864 over again.
This is the light in which the voters of
Vermont viewed the issue, and the verdict,
as the Herald wisely concludes, toreshadows
that of the country in November
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1868-09-09
The October Election.

In a little over one month the election
will be here. The contest is an important
one, involving the stability and perpetulty
of the Union, for should the election De
permitted to go by default, and Seymour
and Blair be elected, another rebelilon Is
almost morally certain. Are the people
willing to risk another probable war? We
opine not Then let every friend of his
country, and of peace be vigilant and active.
Let every man devote at least few days to
the best interests of his country See your
neightors, talk with them, and urge them
to go with you to the polls on the Second
Tuesday Of October and cast their ballots
for HARTRANFT and CAMPBELL, the Re
publican candidates for Auditor General
aud Surveyor General, and the election OF
Grant and Colfax in November is a fixed
fact, and the threatened new rebellion will
lie crushed in its ineipiency Then, will
you exercise the freemans privilege, by
voting 20 save your country the horrors of
another bloody war? You know you should
do this, for it is = duty you owe to yourself,
TO your family, TO your friends, to your
neighhors, to humanity, and above all, to
yonr country aud the free institutions under
which you live, and which you love. Then,
iy all that you hold sacred and dear, We en-
treat and urge you not to neglect the free
man right of voting, aud to fearlessly dis
charge that duty on the side of the Union,
and in behalf Of peace and national pros
perity.

As the election is close at hand, every
voter should examine. the tax list stuck up
by the Assessor in his district to see if his
name is thereon. IF not found upon such
list, you must 60 to the Assessor IN person
and have your name entered-it having
been decided that no assessment is legal ex-
cept upon the personal application of the
voter to be assessed. Let every m n attend
to this highly important duty at once, lest
he should be deprived of his vote at the
coming election.

A Word to Republicans.

Let our friends everywhere bear in mind
that the vote of Pennsylvania in October
will powerfully effect the November elec-
tion in every other State in the Union, as
well as in our own State. Our political op-
ponents know this as we'll as we do, and
hence they are working assiduously, day and
night, to bring out their full vote. Hence
We say to the Republicans everywhere
throughout the State, no matter how safe
any particular election district or county
may DE considered, labor earnestly and m
ceasingly to get out your vote on the Second
Tuesday of October. That is the time when
the work must be done, to insure an over
whelming triumph in November. We have
the votes to carry Pennsylvania by at least
25,e00 majority for Grant and Colfax,if we
do our whole duty at the State election
Then let every Republican feel as if his
country could not do without his vote, and
that his neighbor's vote must under no cir
cumstances be lost, and the victory is sure.
Let all remember this, and act accordingly.

Democratic Taxation.

A recent speech of Judge SCoFIELD puts
taxes and revenue, in a very just light
They have so run the Treasury Department
have yielded $50, ,0O0, 600 per year, or S24O,-
600, 600 in all, has returned total of less
than S45,000,0O0 They believe in free
trade, and therefore the customs would yield
nothing at all, if they were in power In
stead of collecting the revenues from whis,
ky, tobacco, banks, incomes, and few arti.
cles of luxury as now, they would tax every
thing alike, the rich mans equipage and
the bread, the meat the raiment of the poor,
the land of the farmer, the workingman'
home, the same as the "bloated" income of
the millionaire and the profits of those in
fernal banks" They would levy their taxes
directly, according to the population of the
States and ultimately their taxes would be
''direct" in more senses than oue Under
Democratic rule, as foreshadowed in the
New York platform, every citizen the poor
and the rich alike, would be personally made
acquainted with the federal tax -gatberer.
With these direct taxes, with opened ports
and free trade, with our toiiing millions un.
derworked by the oppressed peasantry o.
Europe, our manufacturers crushed, and the
old Democratic doctrine of low wages again
in the ascendant, that happy era which a
distinguished Democrat sighed for, the pc
riod when sheep head and pluck would
be pay enough for the days labor of any
poor man, would at last be naugurated for {
wretchei and impoverished land and peo
pie fatally deluded by the heresies of thai
most graspiug, selfish and soulless of al
aristocracies, our modern Democracy.
And what nice time we should have il

moi ht To Vote -

That the soldiers of tie Union army
were not, in the opinion of Horatio Sey-
mour, fit to vote, is proved by his veto of
the act Of the New York Legislature which
provided for their ballots being taken in
camp and field. His veto bears date April
2fth, 1868. The soldiers of Pennsylvania
will certainly resent this insult to then com
radeS of the Empire State.

Confessing the Truth.


Our Democratic neighbor of the Post,
says the Pittsburg Gazette, boasts that Its
party has plenty of money to expend this
year in campaign purposes. 1t said yester-
dav morning:
There is no trouble about the money
this year with the Democrats there is slash
ins of it and why not? The Democrats
Stdid at home during the 'CGr. and got tie
mute and ofheT' .tnt contracts, ,0hiist the Re
Dubiicdns 1cere getting killed IN the army.
That's what 5 the matter.
This is a handsome confession Itadmits
all that the friends of the Union have ever
charged against Coprerheadsm. Let it be
known to the people everywhere THE
DEMOCRATS STAID AT HOME during
the war, to get contracts, ,ohiist the Repub
ltcans 'oere getting killed IN the army" the
Pittsburg Post exultingy cries, and the
Democratic profits are to be expended to
hoodwink the people into suffering the in
augurati)n of more wars, with more con
tracts for the stay at home Democrats, and
more Republicans to be slain in fighting for
the flag! Put that paragraph from the
Pittsburg Post Of August 80, 1868, in your
pocket, reader; refer to ii occasionally, when
you can find a Democratic soldier to talk
to, and ask him how that kind of Democrat
ic loyalty suits him.
