Past Record.

1t is well enough for US, sometimes,
when an old political hack comes up
and asks the people to place him in
an humble official position, to look
over old papers and see what his past
record has been in relation to que s.
tions of vital importants to the well
being of our National Government
If his record has been such as to show
that he has been and is still loyal to
his Government, and has used his
best efforts to perpetuate its free in
stitutions he has no objection to his
record being told but, if it has been
the reverse of this-if his record
shows that he has been an apologist
for, or sympathiser with the enemy
of his Government-the last thing he
wishes to see, when he is a candidate
for popular flavor, is his own record
presented to the public in the news
papers.
We all know that Governor Allen,
the present Democratic candidate for
Governor of this State, was opposed
to the prosecution of the war against
the Southern rebellion; and that his
sympathies, instead of being with the
official action of the Government
were against it. Remembering this
fact, we, few days since, looked over
our file of the HERALD for 1868 and
found the following items in the issue
of the 10th of September of thai
memorable year, when John Broug
was the Republican or Union candi-
date and c. L. Vallandigham the dis
Union or Rebel-sympathising candi
date for Governor
Mr.. Allen, in a speech made on tha
date, uttered the following choice sen
timents:
We have the astonishing spectacle
of one million of white men fghtin,
to free negroes, to the end that the.
may occupy the places that thos
white men left behind them. 1t is, il
effect, seeking to swap off the white
for the negroes; white men can't b.
enslaved but some AbOlitionists con
template the change of complexion
with favor.
Mr.. Lincoln has committed tn
greatest crime since the CTucifctOm B.
refusing the OveTtuTes Of the 6orde
States.
Little did old Virginia think at th
time that the donation she CAV
would be made the theatre o.
which negroes would be raised up t.
fghther sons and to arouse the bloody
hendish insurrection of her slaves.
The party in power have taken ad
vantage of the patriotism of the peo
pie to attempt to enslave them
Burnside was appointed agent to gu
percede the power of the State Gov
ernment
The boast he's been made that bt
fore long there will be one hundre
thousand negroes in arms. Do the
expect to use those negroes troop
against the Democrats in the Pres
dental election?
This is the record William Altar
the present Democratic candidate w,
making for himself, to be hande
down to future generations, viii
Gen. Hayes, the present candidate
the Republican party for Governo
was making a proud record for hin
self on the field of battle for his Go
eminent that he will never feel Ii
shrinking from, or ashamed, or airs
to have spread out before this who
Union.

The next Congress has more than
the usu al number ofnew men. There
are only four members who have serv-
ed in seven Congresses, or fourteen
years; and only four who have served
in six Congresses, OF twelve years. In
the former category we count General
Banks, who resigned from the Thirty
fifth Congress after one months ser
vice. Here is the list: Fourteen years
IS. S. Cox, w. s. Holman, W. D.
Kelley, N. p Banks. Twelve years
Fernando Wood, S. J. Randall, j. A.
Garfield, J. 6. Blaine. Cox, Kelley
and Holman served during the war
Cox entered one Congress before Hol-
man, and two Congresses before Kel-
ley. Wood, Garfield and Randall en-
tered in the last session Of the war.
the Thirty eighth Congress, although
Mr.. Wood had been a member in 1841
of the Twenty seventh Congress. Only
one member aDtedates him, Mr.. VIM
Pitt Lynde, of Wisconsin, who entered
Congress in 1910 General Banks en-
tered in 1852. Mr.. Kerr, of Indiana
entered the next Congress after the
war, the Thirty-ninth, and served eight
years. Mr.. Kelley, as the longest ir
continuous service, therefore is father
of the House. Cox and Holman each
had hiatus in their. service of four.
teen years, and therefore Kelly out
ranks them - New York Sun.

and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,

Meeting the Issues.

Since the Democratic party has de-
cIared in favor of increasing paper
circulation. some of its editors have
GROWN hold, and call loudly for Re
nnblieans to define their position. Of
course they don't include US in their
call, as we have defined our position
time and again, and have on a former
occasions flooded this State with a
speech we had read in the Senate
Whether we have gone over to them
or they have come over to US, any in
telligent reader can determine. But
We are not done with this thing of
meeting the issues. We have got to
speak out frankly and openly. We
hold that the Rebel Democratic party
is looking to payment in greenbacks
for four milliens $4,000, ,000) of slaves
emancipated by the war, they are also
looking forward to payment of the
party for losses sus tanned in the war
Another of their schemes is to give
| pensions to the widows and orphans
| of those who fell in the war of the re-
bellion: Already are they hunting up
| old bills of sales, in which it will be
shown that negro men who were me-
chanics were sold at prices ranging
from 81, 900 to $4,000. They are now
looking to an amendment to the Con
stitution so as to legislate to pay these
claims, which, if allowed, will bank
rupt the nation and ruin the country
If they can elect a President who
will not veto their bills, they will ac
complish their work in four years
Now the people require the press o.
the country, the stump speakers, anC
the candidates for Office to speak ou
plainly on this subject, and on th'
other issues named in connection
J Herewith. We, therefore, in broaC
daylight, denounce the whole scheme
and intend to fight It to the bitter end
and as Jealous as we have been, ant
are, in favor of an increase of pape
currency, we will not favor the in
crease of any sort of money if it is t.
be used in paying the rebel war debt
The leading rebels and Democrat
r may r:dicule the idea of their part
D forcing these issues upon the country
e but we tell them the danger is rea
? and not imaginary. If they succee
: in the next Presidential election, th
: whole question, with all its fearfl
4 consequences, will be upon US in fou
years, and it will be met either by th
payment of a ruinous tax, or the d
