The Freeman, in adverting to our arti
cle of two weeks ago relative to Democratic
coffee-colored corruption, says that it was
useless and unkind, insinuates that we
made a personal attack on certain parties
named therein, and undertakes to read us
a lecture on our duty as a journalist.
To all which we reply :
1. The article was not useless, inasmuch
as it seems to have been of enough impor
tance to have called forth a very elaborate
reply from the Freeman ; neither was it
unkind, fir the truth in politics, aa in all
other matters, is never unkind.
2. We made no personal assault on any
one. If wo chronicle an item of current
news, whether political or otherwise, it
does not follow that because the name of a
man appears therein iu an unenviable
light, we make a personal attack on him.
This is not "unwonted," nor aa '-'uiiuiual
course."
3. As to our duty as a journalist, we
would merely remark that the Freeman
can teach us nothing on that point. Nei
ther do we stand in need of any patroni
zing from that source at present.
We notice the article of the Freeman
further to say :
1. The Legislature did not base its
ousting of Shugart on the "testimony of
two witnesses." A cloud of witnesses
were examined, and their combined testi
mony established clearly and irrefutably
the existence of the fraud alleged. "
2. The witness O'-deara did not ''admit
that the cause of his testifying was that
Wallace refused to give him $2,000."
"We subjoin a portion of his testimony, to
show what he did say
"I received of Rev. Father Tracy $500.
The $500 was given me two week3 ago last
Tuesday to prevent my beiug a witness. 1h
priest came and told me that my evidence
would be hard against the Democratic party,
and that he had 500 he would give me if 1
would leave. I told the priest I would take
my family and go for $2,000 ; Father Tracy
told me he would let me know in a few days,
-and when we next met the priest told me
that he had written for advice, and that Wal
lace thought that $100 per month was enough;
I supposed it was Yv'allace, the Clearfield
county lawyer; I told the priest 1 would
take $500."
3. The murdered Casey swore that he
"voted on a forged naturalization paper,"
but he further swore that this forged nat
uralization paper was furnished hini by one
Mark Leddy, a Democrat, who took him
to the polls and directed him how to act.
Casey's testimony is brief and to the point,
and we subjoiu it entire :
John Casey, sworn I wa3 working on the
railroad for Mr. Collins at the October (1867)
election ; was boarding iu Philipsburg, where
I voted with the other men ; Mr. Lede took
me up to vote and gave me the naturalization
paper, and I put it in ; cannot read ; am as
ignorant as a baste : I put the papr in my
pocket ; cannot tell what became of it ; I was
never natuialized ; never was in a court be
fore this ; Lede toll me to vie ; I was work
ing near Mr. Collins store ; camo the day
that O Mer; did to Philipsburg; I voted
Democratic
The Freeman docs not dare attempt to
deny the charges of fraud and corruption
brought against the Democratic party.
But it seeks to withdraw attention from
these charges by special pleading. It will
not do. The people have got their eyes
open, and cannot be gulled.
We shall from time to time during the
current campaign quote from the mass of
testimony in the Shugart case, to prove,
by Democratic witnesses, that the Demo
cratic party is rotten to the core -and unfit
to be trusted. Out of their own mouths
we will condemn them.
Rosecrans ami El is Mission.
Tho full import of Gen. Rosecrans' mis
sion to "White Sulphur Springs, Virginia,
is out at last. He had now better turn
his attention to Mexico. Wo take for
granted that he is on pay for his mission
to that distracted country, and whatever
services he has to render her may be ren
dered most efficiently by turning his face
toward the land of tho Aztecs, rather than
toward White Sulphur Springs. We hope
he will have better fortune in the mission
for which he is receiving Government pay
than in the one he has performed without
pay.
It is but a few days since the gallant
General declared that he had undertaken
this labor on his own responsibility, but in
his letter to Gen. Lee, ho speaks in the
name of the union army and the people
of the North and West.
Rut the pith of Gen. Rosecrans' letter
is contained in the fullowincr :
"I want to know if you, and the gentlemen
who will join in that written expression, are
willing to pledge, the people of the South to
a chivalrous and magnanimous devotion to
restoring peace and prosperity to our common
country. I want to carry that pledge high
above the level of party politics, to the late
officers and soldiers of the Union army, and
the people of the North and "West, and to ask
thorn to consider it, and to take the necessa
ry action, confident that it will meet with a
response so warm, go generous and confiding,
that we shall see in its sunshine the rainbow
cf peace in our political sky, now black with
clouds and impending storms."
The pith of the answer of Gen. Lee and
those that unite with him in answering
Gen. Rosecrans is as follows:
"Whatever opinions may have prevailed in
the past in regard to African slavery, or the
right of a State to secede from the Union, we
believe we express the almost unanimous
judgment of the Southern people when we
declare that they consider that those ques
tions were decided by the war, and that it is
their intention in good faith to abide by that
decision. At the :lose of the war the South
ern people laid down their arras and sought
to resume their former relations with the
United States Government. The
idea that the Southern people are hostile to
the negroes, and would oppress them if it
were in their power to do so, is entirely un
founded. They have grown up in their midst,
and we have been accustomed from childhood
to look upon them with kindness. The
change in the relations of the two races ha3
wrought no change in our feelings toward
them. They still constitute the important
part of our laboring population. Without
their labor the lands of the South would be
comparatively unproductive. Without the
employment which Southern agriculture af
fords, they would be destitute of the means
of subsistence, and become paupers, depen
dent on the public bounty."
Just what constitutes a "'chivalrous and
magnanimous devotion to restoring peace
and prosperity" is not much clearer than
mud, nor does Gen. Rosecrans or Gen. Lee
aid our vision. The latter, with his
friends, says they accept two facts as set
tled by tho war the extinction of slavery
and the . right of secession. That. must
have been a stunner for "Old llosey."
Only those two facts settled by the war !
Says Gen. Lee, "the Southern people are
not hostile to the negroes and would not
oppress them. The change in the rela
tions of the two races has wrought no
change of feeling toward them." Exactly
so, and that is just what is the matter.
The Southern blacks are ignorant, but no
more ignorant than tho landless Southern
whites. What both poor whites and the
blacks want is not kindness so much as
justice, not favors so much as their legal
and natural rights and a voice in making
the laws by which they are to be governed.
These, Gen. Lee and his friends are not
willing to grant, and hence the trouble.
Ueal !
The following is the fourth article of the
Democratic platform :
"Equal taxation of every species of prop
erty according to its real value, including
Government bonds and other public securi
ties." Let us see the operation of this in case
of Democratic success. The farmer and
workingman say to the bondholder that
the bonds mu?t be taxed according to the
platfurm. Agreed, says the bondholder,
but don't you know that our platform says
"equal taxation for every sjccies of prop
erty." Now, tax our bonds, but tax also
your farms and everything else you own.
Don't you see what the resolution says ?
But if you ak to be released, we ask it
also. D'ye see the resolution "every
species of property ?" Exit farmer and
workingman, muttering something that
sounds like curses not loud but deep.
The news from Ohio is cheering, and
the most cheering bit of all comes from
Democratic George II. Pendleton, who
turns back from Maine saying that the
"condition of the canvass" in his own
State requires his presence there. Sunset
Cox gives another statement that lets ad
ditional light into Pendleton's sudden
return. Sunset gives up the fight in
Maine, and openly concedes the State to
the Republicans "by a reduced majority."
Deeming Ohio cure, Pendleton thought
to help win Maine. Rut his own State
shows such signs of going overwhelmingly
for Grant and Colfax that he hastens
homeward. Seeking to grasp both, both
are lm.
CJritnt from n Rebel Staud
We havo noticed, from timo to time,
articles in tho Democratic prints charging
General Graut with having refused to
sanction a general exchange of prisoners
between the North and the South during
the war, and severely censuring him for
such presumed course. 'And probably no
Democratic paper in the country has failed
to publish, with all the embellishment of
big capitals and glaring head-lines, Mr.
Ex-Rebel Agent of Exchange Ould's let
ter, wherein he attempts to shift tho re
sponsibility for the horrors of Auderson
villc and other rebel prison-pens from his
own shoulders to General Grant's. Let us
see what Mr. E. A. Pollard, himself an
ex-rebel and a most vehement advocate
and defender of the "Lost Cause," says in
his "Southern History of the Wax" on this
subject. Vol. 2 p. 43G :
In connection with the history of the
prisoners of the war, Jhere is something of
tribute to be paid to the conduct of General
Grant. This high officer, however profuse
of the lives of his men in buttle, had certain
ly an unaffected sympathy and interest.-"
tne imprisoned soldier. It was throu"
offices that, in the later months of an
agreement, first proposed by GeneraULee,
was concluded, to the effect, that, without
releasing either Government from the obliga
tion of affording due provision to its captives,
each should have the right of furnishing to
its own prisoners, in the possession of the
other, under the direction of officers among
them to be paroled for the purpose, such ad
ditional supplies of necessary articles a3 it
might deem expedient to send. We
may add here, in advance of the order of our
narrative, that General Grant, having been
subsequently empowered with the duties of
exchanging prisoners, and put in a position
to overrule the behests of such men as Stan
ton and Butler, did himself immortal honor
in instantly authorizing a general exchange,
and breaking by a stroke of the pen all the
tissues of falsehood and cunning in which
this matter had been so long entangled."
The Democratic papers never weary in
ringing the changes on Grant's presumed
"tyranny" and "brutality" as a soldier.
We quote from the same authority as be
fore vol. 2 p. 513 :
"It is to be fairly and cheerfully admitted
that General Grant's conduct, with respect
to all the circumstances of the surrender of
Lee, exhibited some extraordinary traits of
magnanimity. He had not dramatized the
affair. He had conducted it wr.h as much
simplicity as possible, avoided "sensation,"
and spared every thing that might wound the
feelings or imply the humiliation of a van
quished foe. Such conduct was noble."
In a Sea of Troubles.
Seymour gives it up. To use his own
expression, he is in a "sea of troubles,"
plunged into it by his friends, and his
friends on the other hand plunged into a
like sea by himself. Under both plat
form and candidate, his friends first fiitxr
and then niuat fall. Read the letter :
"Utica, July 24, 1866.
"'It Dear Sir: I have not been able until
this momeut to answer your kind letter of
the 13th inst. lam gratified with the kindness
of my friends ; but they have plunged me into a
sea of troubles. I do not know how the canvass
will go ; but, now that J am in the fight, I shall
do the best I can. I see the Republicans are
trying to dodge the financial issues, aud to
sink the election into a mere personal con
test. Our papers must not allow this. They
must push the debt and taxation upon public
attention. If you get time I hope you will
run up and see me. Mr3. Seymour joins me
in asking you to give our respects to Mrs.
Ingersoll. I shall be glad to hear from you
at all times. Truly Your?,

TiTe Meet Fug.-
The Democratic mass'inoeting Tuesday
night was addressed by R. M. Speer, of
Huntingdon, General Kerr, of Pittsburg,
Cyrus L. Pershing, Esq., of Johnstown,
and Col. J. P. Linton, of Johnstown, the
Democratic nominee for Congress. The
speeches were a repetition of the usual
Democratic argument against everybody
and everything save Democrats and the
Democratic party, and were stale, fiat, and
unprofitable. The attendance was small.
No enthusiasm was manifested. In fact,
the meeting was not a decided success.
When a respectable Democratic meeting
cannot be gathered together in Eberiburg
after a month's notice given by advertise
ment and handbill, and on Court week
too, may it not be said to betoken Ft
for that party at the elections ?
The Campaign.
Crack ! crack ! boom I boom ! comes the
echo of the guns from N ew l ork. Twen-
ty-seven thousand majority for Vermont
will' do. It was a square, etand up fight,
and all see the result. The rurht win"
has moved and the enemy is overwhelmed.
In a few days Maine will speak. Demo
crats have been telling us that a ground
swell was coming, and sure enough it is
here, but it has come in a different way
from that predicted. Before the middle
of October there will be another ground
swell in Pennsylvania that will shake the
dry bones.
Notiunq could more thoroughly show
the falsity of the assertion that the late
Southern rebels had returned to loyalty
aud patriotism, than the recent declaration
of the rebel general N. R. Forrest, that
there were 40,000 Ku-Kluxers in Tennes
see alone, and 550,000 in the entire South,
and that they do not mean to kill blacks,
but whit-a radical.

Union Jiepullican Convention :
In formally accepting the nomination
of the National Union liepublican Con
vention of th9 21st of May instant, it seems
proper that some statement of views
beyond the mere acceptance of the nomi
nation should bo expressed.
The proceedings of the convention were
marked with wisdom, moderation, and
patriotism, and I believe express the feel
ings cf the great mass of those who sus
tained the country through its recent
trials. I endorse their resolutions. If
elected to the office of President of the
United States, it will bo my endeavor to
adminster all the laws ia good faith, with
economy, and with the view of giving
peace, quiet, aod protection everywhere.
In times like the present it is impossible,
or at least eminently improper, to lay
down a policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong, through an administration of four
years. New political issues, not foreseen,
are constantly arising j the views of the
public on old ones are constantly chang
ing, and a purely administrative officer
should always b a left free to execute the
will of the people. I always have respec
ted that will and always shall.
Peace, and universal prosperity, its se
quence, with economy cf administration,
will lighten the burdeD of taxation, while
it constantly reduces the national debt.
Let U3 have peace.
With great respect, ycur obedient ser

MR. COLFAX'S LETTER.
Washington, May 30, 18G3.
JLm. J. li. ILitcUy, Frezidcnt 2sat. Union
FepvLHeau Convention: Dear Sir :
The platform adopted by the patriotic
convention, over which you presided and
the resolutions which eo happily supple
ment it, so entirely agree with my views as
to a just uational policy, that my thanks
are due the delegates, as much for this
clear aud auspicious declaration of princi
ple asftr the nomination with which I have
beea honored, aud which I gratefully ac
cept. When a great rebellion, which imperil
led the national existence, was at lastover
ihrown, the duty of all others devulving
on those intrusted with the responsibili
ties of legislation evidently was to require
that the revolted States should be read
mitted to participation in the government
agains-t . which they htd warred only on
such a basis as to increase and fortify Dot
to wCaken or endanger the strength of the
nation.
Certainly no oneoughtto nave claimed
that they should be readmitted un Jer such
rules that their organization aa States
could ever again be uscJ, as at the open
ing of tbe war, toiefv the natioca! author
ity, or to destroy tho national uiiity. This
principle has beea the pole fctar of thoe
who have inflexibly insisted oa the con
gressional policy your convention so cor
dialiy endorsed. DafHed by executive op
position and by persistent reiusald to accept
any plan of reconstruction proffered by
Congress, justice and public safety at last
combined to teach us that only by an en
largement of - suffrage in those States
couid the desired end be attained, and that
it was even more safe to give the ballot to
those who loved the Union than to those
who had sought iaefieeiuall y to destroy
it. Tho as?ur.'d success of this legislation
is being written on the adamant of histo
ry, and will be our triumphant vindica
tion. More clearly, too, than ever before
does the nation now recognize that the
greatest glor' of a ropublie is, that it
throws the shield of its protection over the
humblest and tho weakest of its people,
and vindicates the rights of the poor and
the powerless as faithfully as those of the
rich and the powerful.
1 rejoice, too, in this convention, to
find in your platform the frauk and tear
less avowal that the naturalized citizens
must be protected abroad, "at every hazard,
as though they were native born." Our
whole people are foreigners or descendants
of foreigners. Our fathers established by
arms their right to be called a nation. It
remains for us to establish the right to
welcome to our shores all who are willing
by oaths of allegiance to become Ameri
can citizen?. Perpetual allegiance,
as claimed abroad, is .only another
name for perpetual bondage, and would
make all elaves to the soil where first
tbey saw the light.. Our national ceme
teries prove how faithfully these oaths of
fidelity to their adopted land have been
sealed in the life blood of thousands upoo
thousauds. Should we not then be faithless
to the dead if we did not protect their liv
ing brethern in the enjoyment of that
nationality, for which, side by side with
the native born, our soldiers of foreign
birth laid down their lives ?
It was fitting, too, that the representa
tives of a part' which had proved so true
to national duty in time of war should
speak so clearly in time of peace for the
maintenance untarnished of national honor,
national credit, and good faith as regards
its debt, the cost of our national existence.
I do not need to extend this reply by
further comment on a platform which has
elicited such hearty approval throughout
the land. The debt of gratitude it ac
knowledges to tho brave men who paved
the Union -from destruction tho frank
approval of amnesty based on repentance
and loyalty the demand for tho most
thorough economy and honesty in the
Government tho sympathy of tho party
of libe'rty with all throughout the world
who-long for the liberty we here enjoy
and the recognition of the sublime princi
ples of the Declaration of Independence,
are worthy of the organization on whoso
banners they are to be written in the com
ing contest.
