The hour is near at band wliicb will de cide the destiny of this nation for the next four years. Ere we address our readers again the people will have spoken, and the fiat of the nation will have gone forth be yond ilic possibility of recall. For the last time previous to the doeisive hour we cal, upon even - good citiieu to consider the magnitude of the issue. Ihe result will be fraught with good or evil. The gulf be tween the two parties and their policies is a fearful one. Never before in the history ol our country have the leaders and policies of the parlies been in such striking contrast. The advocates of jwaee, law, order, ecoue my in public expenditures, and every* pub lie good, with a candidate nominated almost by the acclamation of the people, appear on one side; on the other we find rebels whose hands arc yet red with the blood of our murdered brethren the authors of the re bcllion and their Northern sympathizers, the robbers of the National Treasury, the staf fers of ballot-boxes, the forgers of natural 'nation papers, the managers of the whiskey rings, the prize fighters, and the frequent ers of all the purlieus of vice, and for their leaders we find put forth a sympathizer whe aided and abetted rebellion, and a miserable debauchee who ha- already pledged himsell to a new rebellion and ranged himself along side the assassin Booth. We will not ask lor whom you will vote. No good citizen can hesitate. The duty of every one whe jovos his country and desires her welfare if clear. There is but one right way. that if the road to peace. Grant's policy is easily comprehended and his |>osition well defined. "Let us have peace, gives no uncertair sound. But thinking well, meaning well, and speaking well is not enough. In the day of battle men must gird or their armor and meet the foe. Next Tues day we once more meet and cross swordi with rebels. We must put their forces t( a final rout. The battle must be decisive Theirs must be no common defeat but 1 crushing, overwhelming one. Then go ti work. As you revere the dead and cherish the living, as you love your country, as you arc- proud of her past and hopeful of het future, as you venerate her state-men and honor her heroes, as you hold dear her fit ni Union and prize her glorious liberty go forth to the civic battle and, under the banner ol the illustrious Grant with I'eace for your watchword, redeem the executive of the na tion from the hands ol treason and show to the world that Republics are not ungrateful by electing Ulysses S. Grant President ol the I nited States by the most overwhelming popular majority that has ever been known in our country's history. Why the Copperheads and Reb els want Equal Taxation. M e have frequently shown the grinding oppression to which the copperhead "Equal laxation programme would subject all the poor and especially the laboring classes oi our population. But there is method as well ac .leaning in the apparent madness of the "Equal Taxation'' plank of this rebel platform. The rebels control the copper head party. I hey expect if Seymour and Blair are elected to have the Confederate debt and bonds paid and also to be paid for all their slaves. This may -eem a startling assertion, but it is nevertheless true. Many of the less prudent of them have boldly de clared this to be their intention and confi dent expectation in case of copperhead suc cess. This is true in regard to expression in so many words. Actions speak louder than words and their actions confirm their words. It is a notorious fact that in every Southern State a strict record of every slave, with his age and value sworn to by his for mer master, has been kept and recorded in the archives of each county. This was done for the express purpose of enabling them to make out their bills and demand payment of the United States Government whenever the opportune moment should ar rive. That moment they themselves confi dently declare will be as soon as the copper heSd party obtains control of the Govern ment. There is the reason for the "Equal taxation plank. A rebel debt of $j,000,- ""0,000 to be assumed by a Seymour and Blair administration and an additional so. 0m,000,(300 compensation for slaves making ln all * 10,000,(XJ0,000, or four times ur present national debt, will necessitate the opprtmitt hirattoii that can be j'"' among reM plan of bejual Taxation." Such is the treat in t< re for our people if they permit them selves to be cajoled into electing Seymour and Blair. If you want cvery dollj|r y<m have on earth taxed, every mouthful of read you eat and every article of clothing you wear, for the purpose of paying the rebel debt and paying red handed rebels for thcii slaves, vote for Seymour and Blair. If you want peace, prosperity and reduction of tax es and payment of the National debt vote fot Grant and Uolfax. Every citizen that votes must choose between these two, Democrat consider well before you v-ofo; the rebel ticket. ELECTION_FRAUDS. The utter unfitness of the Copperhead party and its leaders to control the affaira of State or nation is in no way more dis tinctly shown than in the deliberate system of frauds by which they have undertaken to attain success. In no previous campaign, state or national, have such wholesale frauds ever been attempted. Fraudulent naturali zation papers in which the Democratic judges on the Supreme bench have aided and abetted them, have been made by thou sands and spread broad east over the land. In addition all the border counties of our state on both sides, North and South, have been colonized by Baltimore rebels and New York Boughs. By these tucans at least 20,- 000 illegal voters were brought into Pennsyl vania to vote at the state election. Many of them did vote, but by extraordinary vigi lance on the part of the republicans many were prevented. It was by such tmans 'be copperheads hoped to carry the state and if they had succeeded in polling all the fraudu lent votes they attempted they would have gained the election. In Indiana it is estimated that at least 15,000 fraudulent Copperhead votes were polled. Tbev are now busy pre paring for the Presidential election. In New York City the courts under Democratic Judges are re-enacting the same disgraceful scenes that iiave forever steeped in infamy the name of Judge Thompson in Philadel phia. Thousauds of false naturalizations certificates have been sent out all over the state, and it is through these the rebel lead ers hope to carry New York. Can it be possible that honest rueD will support a party that is even now resorting to all man ner of fraud, perjury, corruption, bribery, and murder in order to gain power? Such is the record of Democracy. Vote for (jrint and Colfax. BLAIR'S ASSASSINATION Blair's drunkenness is bad enough in a candidate for the Vice Presidency, but he seems desirous of placing himself along-side Booth as an assassin. In his St. Louis speech a short time ago, as reported by the St. Louis Democrat, he declared that in case of Grant's election to the Presidency he would never leave the White House alive. This is true rebel tactics aud is in full accord with Blair's Broadhead letter in which he pronounces in favor of a new rebellion. Whoever wants a new rebellion or desires to encourage the assassination policy of Bebeldom shouid by all means vote for Blair. Whoever has any love for his country or regard for our national repu tation should do all in his power to stamp the seal of a nation's indignation upon the party, the cause and the men, that either sanction or tolerate such men as this miscra ble, drunken, blood thirsty, war-loving, mischief-making Blair. BLAIR'S POSITION IN 1854. I, FRANCIS P. BLAIR OFST. LOUIS, : IN THESTATE OF MISSOURI, A NA -1 TIVE BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNI TED STATES, AND OF PROTESTANT FAITH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AL MIGHTY GOD AND THESE WITNESS ES, DO SOLEMNLY PROMISE AND SWEAR THAT I WILL NOT VOTE, NOR GIVE MY INFLUENCE FOR ANY MAN, FOR ANY OFFICE IN THE GIFT OF THE PEOPLE, UNLESS HE BE AN AMERICAN BORN CITI ZEN, IN FAVOR OF AMERICANS RULING AMERICA, NOR IF HE BE A ROMAN CATHOLIC. IN THE PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD AND THESE WITNESSES. I DO SOLEMNLY & SINCERELY SWEAR THAT I WILL, WHEN ELECTED OR APPOINTED TO ANY OFFICIAL STA TION CONFERRING ON ME THE TOWER TO DO SO, REMOVE ALL FOREIGNERS, ALIENS, OR RO MAN CATHOLICS FROM OFFICE OR PLACE, AND THAT I WILL IN NO CASE APPOINT SUCH TO ANY OF FICE OR PLACE IN MY GUT. Such are the avowed principles of the Democratic candidate for the Vice Presiden cy. They are interesting at this time to a large class of voters. EVERY MAN TO HIS POST. Let no man fail to be at his post on Tues day. It is the closing fight. The result on that day will decide the fate of the nation either for Grant and Peace or for Seymour and war, murder, and rapine for the next four years. No good citizen can be indiffer ent. Let no one undervalue the importance of the occasion. No previous Presidential contest has ever surpassed the present in the magnitude and importance of the ques tions at issue. The contest whi<& was waged for four years on many a bloody field has been, by traitorous bands, transferred to the political arena and is now to be de cided finally at the ballot box. Let every good citizen and soldier array himself on the side of Grant, Union and Peace. Let sol diers vote as they shot. To the Polls!_ To the Polls! Go to the polls. Go early 1 Go before they are opened and stay until they are closed. Our enemies will try to accomplish by fraud and trickery what they cannot do honestly. They are desperate and will light bitterly to the end. Watch every vote. See that no illegal vote is taken. Challenge every doubtful vote. Make every ono who votes on naturalization show his papers un less you know well that he is honestly naturalized. Bring out every yote. Work, hard, earnest, vigorous work can accomplish wonders. Don't wail for somebody else, go yourself, bring out the old and infirm. See that the doubtful and wavering are cared for. If all these things are diligently atten ded to we will carry Pennsylvania on next Tuesday by at least 40,000 majority. FARMERS LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS. The copperhead platform proposes to tax your lands, your horses, your wagons, your houses, your stock, your household furni ture and every dollar's worth f property you own at the same rate that it taxes the rich man s and the bondholder's gold watches, fast horses, fine carriages and other luxu ries. It farmers want all their property kept free from United States taxes, as it now is, let him be sure to go to the polls and vote for Grant and Colfax. GEN. DIX, a life-long Democrat, who knowa Seymour thoroughly, affirms that he is wholly uqsuited to the Presidency, WHO ARE EXTRAVAGANT. The cost of the civil administration of the Government under President Linooin—apt withstanding the war—was one half leas than under Buchanan, and nearly one halt less than under Johnson, consequently, the ordanary receipts from customs, without increase of the tariff would not only have met all the expenses of (rovernmeot, but would have left a large surplus in the Trea sury, had not its expenditure been required in supp r essing the Democratic rebellion. Here are the figures, taken from the Treasury books, to prove this statement. Expenditures oi the Government for the civil administration for the eight years nam ed: IX6O, Buchanan $45,790,058 1861, Lincoln $25,031,510 1862, " 21,408,491 1863, " 23,253,922 1864, " 27,800,409 1865, Johuson ..... 40,346,553 1866, " 42,420,820 1867, " 52,098,121 1868, " 52,755,028 Compare carefully each year under Presi dent Lincoln with 1860, and with each of the years under Johnson.— Ex- SHALL THE POOR MAN BE TAXED? This is one of the questions to settle on Tuesday next. The copperhead "Equal Taxation" scheme will tax the poor man's implements of labor and necessaries of life at the same rate that it does the rich man's luxuries. It will tax the bread that feeds and the clothes that cover his wife and babes. It will tax his cow aud his pig, his patch of potatoes and every dollar's worth of property he has earned by the sweat of his biow and every cent he has laid by for a rainy day. Such is the platform of Sey mour and Blair. What poor man can vote for such a platform and such candidates and go home and look his wife and children in the face ? Let no party lash be cracked over your back by the minions of rebellion but go to the polls and vote for Grant and Colfax and the policy that lets the poor man go free aud gathers the taxes from the rich and proud. Desperate. The last and most desperate resort of the Copperheads is the effort to deceive the people in regard to the result of the elections. They continue to boast of great victories and immense gains, while every mother's son of them knows that they have not carried a single state except Kentucky. The Pitts burgh Pott on Monday morning came out with its rooster, claiming a Copperhead ma jority of 2000 in West Virginia. Every intelligent man. woman and child in Pitts burgh knew two days before that the Re publicans had carried the State by from 3000 to 5000 majority and elected every Congressman and enough members of the Legislature to give us from 30 to 40 majori ty in a legislature of 78 members. Yet the Post makes pretensions to respectability. Let no one be deceived by their falsehoods. LOOK OUT FOR FORGED NAT URALIZATION PAPERS Election officers be on your guard. Thou sands of forged and fraudulent naturalize tion certificates are scattered over the State. The larger portion of them will be found to have emanated from New York city, Phila delphia, or Wallace's eoffee-"pot. Election Boards will be warranted in rejecting any vote offered on naturalization papers bearing date within six months that has been issued in New York or Philadelphia or that has been issued in Luzerne County within the past year and a half. Every one of this class bears upon its face a violent presump tion of fraud. Let challengers keep a sharp look out for them. THE REBEL DEBT TO BE PAID. Knowing rebels down South assert that if Seymour and Blair are elected the rebel debt will be paid, the confederate notes be redeemed and the Slave-holders be paid for their slaves. Some of them have even been engaged in buying up Confederate notes on speculation. This is in strict accord with copperhead principles. Is this the reason they advocate "Equal Taxation ?" To pay a rebel debt of $10,000,000,000. Poor man, how do you like it. Farmer bow do you like it? , ABRAHAM LINCOLN Was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a copperhead. Frank P. Blair, another copperhead, declared a few days ago in St. Louis that General Grant if elected would never leave the White Honse alive. Let the people rebuke such murderous threats by electing Grant and Colfax by such an overwhelming majority as will effectually silence all such murderous villiaos. WORK ! WORK !! WORK !!! Work vigorously, work earnestly, work continuously for Grant, Cclfax. Union and Peace. The time is short; improve it well. See that every man is supplied with the right kind of a ticket Examine your ticket before voting. See that every man is sup plied and every Tote brought out. Remember! When you go to the polls remember that the Copperhecd party brought on the rebel lion and are responsible for all the immense national debt that has been heaped upon us in putting down the rebellion. 4267- The latest news from West Virginia makes the Republican majority 4,267. The good news has caused a decline of two per ocnt. in gold. Every body who wants such good news to continue should vote for Grant and Colfax. $5,000,000,000 Was the cost of one Democratic rebellion and Frank P. Blair is pledged to get up another if he is elected. 500.000 Brave men were murdered in putting down one Democratic rebellion. The cop perhead platform pledges its candidates to another Democratic rebellion if they are elected. THE BREECHIN OF DEMOCRACY.—Our may have heard the story of the old lady whose horse ran away with her. In reciting the incident, she said she "put her trust in Providence until the breeckin broke, and then she didn't know what to do." The Albany Journal says Pennsylvania was the breech io of Democracy. NEXT Tuesday the people of the United States will be called upon to vote in one of the most important Presidential contests that has ever taken place. The issues are Peace or War, financial prosperity or ruin. If you want Peaoe, financial security and prosperity vote for Grant and Colfax. Ttywfry-NVE THOUSAND ought to be Grant's majority in Pennsylvania, and be if all Repubitetps do their duty. THE STATE—OFFICIAL,—!***. Au,liter flaa. Surveyor dm. . ? H B r ? S> -o : COUNTIES. 6 : C !

We have frequently urged upon our busi ness men, our mearchants and mechanics, that in case of the election of Seymour, the best that could be expected would be four years more of the wretched, unsettled and distracted condition of Johnson's adminis tration. Mr. Seymour has now taken the stump, and this is all that he has claimed. We yesterday gave an extract from his speech at Rochester, in which he asserted that ihey could expect nothing more, and in his speech at Buffalo on Thursday he repeat ed this more emphatically in the following explicit language: " So far as actual power s concerned, a Democratic President would stand in the same position as Andrew John son." The question, therefore, is for all who desire the peace of the country raster cd, to consider well before they cast their vote for Seymour .All that he promises, and ail that he can give the country, is a continuation of the present disturbed state of affairs. "Let us have peace'' should be the watehward of all who love their country, and as Wade Hampton, and all the leaders of tbe south, even the most violent of them, yield to the proposition of negro suffrage, there is no ground left for a further continua tion of this bitter animosity between Con gress and the President. —Baltimore Ameri can. THE REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH in the State is a glorious victory. Everywhere our friends had to meet a party desperate frotn lone de feat and flighting for existence, ready for any measures that promised success. Despite fraudulent Naturalization and Colonization from neighboring Cities, the Republican Party has elected its State Tick et by ten thousand majority. Sixteen of the twenty-four members of Congress; eighteen of the thirty three, members of the State Senate, and sixty-one of the one hun dred members of the House of Representa tives. Our triumph everywhere is complete, except in the City of Philadelphia, and there a Democratic majority of two thous and four hundred and eighty-eight (2,488) last year, has been reduced to one hundred and seventy five (175.) The election ofGrant and Colfax is placed beyond a doubt; but, let there be no relaxa tion of effort—press on the column, so as to make the majority in November as large as possible. — Exchange. Gov. SEYMOUR'S fate was sealed before; but now his sentence is pronounced! AN DREW JOHNSON HAS COME OUT FOR HIM! That is euough to kill the livest man in the country, to say nothing of this Utica body of death Mr. Johnson approves of Mr. Seymour's taking the slump, and thinks the circumstances require it. We agree with him. But we venture to hint that some thing more even than this heroic remedy is required. Desperate diseases required des perate remedies. Cherishing a lively recol lection of the powerful effect produced by Mr. Johnson's stuuip speeches in his own behalf, we suggest that the increased peril now requires that he again throw himself into the breach. Let Mr. Johnson join Mr. Seymour in "swinging around the circle!" Stony indeed would be the heart that could resist that combination! Johnson and Sey mour to the rescue! Then, with Frank Blair, the samson of the ticket, smiting the Republicans of the West, Lip and thigh, with his jaw bone of an ass, the Democratic battle array will be perfect.— Tribune. A Little "Shortening." A New Hampshire paper thinks that "our democratic friends are unfortunate in having names for their clubs which read badly when abbreviated. The "Democratic Jackson Association" had a good run until the Norwbich Bulletin wickedly abbreviated it to 'Dein. Jack. Ass.,' and now they have taken the name of 'Jackson Union Guard,' the initials of which—J. U. G.—are a little suggestive of bad habits." In New Orleans, too, there were the "Seymour Guides" and the "Blair Guards." But the Southern fashion of pronouncing the latter title hastily gave it au unpleasant sugge&tivenese, and now there are the "Blair Guides," and the "Seymour Guards.'' But it makes no difference which end of such a ticket is put uppermost— Evening Poet. MURDER, and bloodshed run rid in every Southern State. Seymour to day in his speeches admits that he can do no bettei than Andy Johnson. Blair has pronounced in favor of revolution if elected. No relief can therefore by their own confession be obtained by the election of Seymour aud Blair. Let every one who wishes the wholesale murders in the Southern states to cease, vote for Grant and Colfax who will give us peace. FROM the time of tbe New York Copper head Convention until the October elections the premium ou gold steadily rose. The moment the result of the October elections became known gold began to decline and hss continued to fall steadily up to the pres ent moment, in the prospect of Grant's election. During the war every rebel suc cess sent up the price of gold; Every Union victory brought gold down. Tbe same rule still holds good. If Grant is triumphantly elected we may expect to resume specie payments within the coming year. If Grant is defeated gold will rise and general finan cial embarrassment ensue and continue for an indefinite period. Let all who like to hear the chink of specie consider well these facts before they go to tbe polls. TUB llarrisburg Patriot has turned lie publican Perhaps some of the friends of 11. F. Myers won't believe this. But we have the very4*est evidence of if. The Patriot of the 24th inst. comes out with a crowing rooster and rejoices over our victory. Now Myers is too well posted to suppose that it was a Copperhead victory and none but a republican would feel like rejoicing over the tound drubbing we have given|tho West Vir* ginia Copperheads, therefore we assert that Myers and the Patriot must certainly have turned republican. We confess we never expected it and even now are not inclined to rejoice over the accession of either Myers or the Patriot, but by every process of reason ing that we are master of it must be so. "LET US HAVE PEACE.'' — Grunt. "LET US HAVE WAR." — Blair. ' "/# is as essentia! to hate a political vic tory this Fall as it was to hate an Appomat tox in 1865, and every man who loves his country should vote for Grant. "PHIUP H. SHERIDAN, Major General, U. S. A." "SEYMOUR AND BLAIR WILL GIVE US ALL THE CONFEDERACY FOUGHT FOR."— Ex- Rebel Gov. Vance's speech at the. Democratic Ratification M>et ing in Richmond. WEST VIRGINIA wheels into line to the tune of about 5000 republican majority. Ws elect the whole Congressional delegation. We also carry the legislature by a large ma jority which gives us a gain of a I nited States Senator. If the Cops feel like .rejoie ing over such victories we certainly wil.' not complain. West Virginia is good for Gri "t on next Tuesday. THE World has a very mild way of telling Frank Blair that his room is better than his company in the Democratic party. It says: "Governor Seymour can aid us uiuch, but General Blair can aid us far more, in a dif ferent way, by a ehivalric action superior to all eloquence." In other words, he should "get up and get" out of the way. THE Rebels are in a sad quandary. One party wants Seymour withdrawn and the other thinks Blair is the cause of all their bad luck. They are both doubtless right. The jieople have lost all faith in Biair, and as for Seymour they never did trust him. BIUCK POMEROY, according to the latest sanitary bulletins, is sick. And wbatgreat ly aggravates the matter is, that his frieuds and admirers are mostly all in the same state of health. THE Presidential election takes place on the first Tuesday of November (the 3d day of the month), not on the second Tuesday, as erroneously supposed by some. Let none forget the day. SEYMOUR'S friends in Ohio say it was a great blunder to have nominated Yal landigham. Yallandigham's friend's on the other hand, say it was a great blunder to have nominated Sevmour. For once, both are fight. SEYMOUR is again addressing "A/A friends ." In 1863 he apologized for New Yoik rioters; now he extenuates tho crimes of Hampton, Forrest,'Semnies, and rebels generally SEYMOUUR is I ieh, yet he never loaned I ne'e Sntn one dollar to enable him to crush the rebellion. The country, therefore, utres Seymour nothing. FROM INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22. —The Secretary of the State has received the official returns frotn all the counties. Baker's majority is 1,059. INSANITY characterizes the efforts of the rebel Democracy to bring General Grant out. His persistent quietude, which is sec ond only to his modesty, is a terrible con trast for them with the volubility of their Blair and the incoherent and unguarded ex pressions of xtheir Seymour. "Oh that mine enemy would write a book!" was the prayer of one of old, when in, the midst of tribulation. "Oh that General Grant would say something!" is the every, day impreca tion of the Democracy. Their straits must be desperate indeed when they acknowledge the otherwise perfect character of the Re publican leader by inviting him to show his head above the rifle-pits in order that they may get a shot at him. What a comic por traiture it would make to picture the Demo cratic party cursing Grant for not saying too much! COLONEL H. A. SMALLEY, of New York, a son of Judge Smalley, of Vermont, a lead ing Democrat of that Stde, has written a letter to General Stannard, in which het-ays that he had intended to support the Demo cratic nominees, lie now says he is satis fied that "the interests of the country re quire the election of General Grant, and in accordance with this opinion I shall sup port him." THE Spanish Democrats are in favor of a federal republic. Manhood suffrage has been accorded to the people. The work or national reconstruction proceeds rapidly. The clerical party and the "moderates' will vote the same election, ticket for members of the Cortes. NAPOLEON is said to favor a royal candidate for the throne of Spain. The United States despatch of recognition of the Junta was circulated extensively. r- RECENTLY a friend of General McClel lan's was informed by the General that he had determined to devote himself exclu sively to the bnsiness of engineering. "Well," said the friend, "would you do a little engineering for the Democratic party ? It never needed it more than at this junc ture." "I am afraid not," said the Gener al reflectively. "I think I couldn't help it any—on the whole, I'd rather not." REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER rightly says; "Since all the men who sought to destroy the Government are rallying around Seymour, it is tit that all the men who stood up for the Union should gather about Grant. It is an honor that will not happen twice in a man's life time to vote for such a man as Grant. SOME of the Democrats think that they might yet succeed with a change of candi dates. So they might. Let them vote for Ulysses S. Grant for President, and Schuy ler Colfax for Vice President, and they will be sure to win. It is their only chance. COFFEE POT WALLACE having issued a congratulary address to the Pennsylvania Democrats, beginning ' you have fought a good fight, ' the New York Post wonders, why he did not continue, in the apostolic language, "You have finished your course." HON. HENRY W. WILLIAMS has formally accepted the appointment of Judge of the Supreme Court tendered him by Gov. Geary, in the place of Judge Strong, re signed. Mr. Williams was sworn in on the 19th insta.it. POLITICAL ITEMS. HORATIO SEYMOUR in abont to lake the stump in New York. That is about all he will take. THE New York Herald thinks that the only State left for Seymour is the state of de spair. A DEMOCRATIC poet, in a short poem en couraging "Andrew" thus presents Demo cratic balm to wounded Presidential feeling: "We are coming, Brother Johnson— Yes we'll come a million strong, Bringing all things needful with • Our jug and demijohn. Yes, we'er coraroing, Brother Andy; Yes — A million —Oh ! JUPI think ! But not to fight much, Andy, But to take a social drink." "MAJOR JACK DOWNING" is dead. His ! name was Seba Smith, husband of Elizabeth Oakes Smith, and bis age 75 years. A WESTERN* weeper over the present pros -1 pect burns into verse and tears. What is the matter with Seymour and Blair? Who are the friends of the sorrowful pair? Boohoo! Boohoo! Seymour is sick and confoundly blue, Blair's quite down with the mulligrubs too. Boohoo! Boohoo! What can they do But cry Boohoo! Boohoo! Boohoo! Their boat has capsized and their chances are slim, For such heavy weights cannot poossibly swim. Boohoo! Boohoo! hile over tbeir hands the cormorants fly. The mourners stand dismally howling and cry. Boohoo! Boohoo! What can they do, etc. "How many regular, "teady boarders are there in this house ?" asked a census taker of a servant girl. "There's fifteen boarders in all, sir; but not more'n four of 'em is steady persons, sir. The rest is Democrats." GK>*. KILI'ATKICK said, in a speech in New York, the other day, that it would be as im possible tor the Democrats to make gains un der existing circumstances, as it would be for Horatio Seymour to set a dozen rotten eggs under a tin rooster and expect to hatch Shanghai chickens. _MKS. NAGEJ., the widow of Major Louis H. Nagel, who was killed at the bead of a Union column at the battle of Seven Pines, resides in ludianapolis. On Tuesday night, as the Demociatic torchlight procession wss passing her house was assailed with groans, oaths, pistol shots, clubs and rocks and all because a Grant flag was displayed on her premises. | THE rebel Democrats want to get rid of Seymour, but they do cot propose to disman tle their rebel platform. That stands like a scaffold for any other victim. ANANIAS ASI> SAPPHIRE were struck dead for lyiug. Brick Pomeroy has only been struck dumb, after a fortnight's campaign, and is unable to take the stump for the next ten days. O, dear ! what will become of tbe "Conservative" party meantime ? A PHiiA.DET.PHIA"paper, referring to the phenomena, social and physical which have uiai ked the present year, says that the most abnn 'mal circumstance of all has been the breaking up of the "rings ' in Philadelphia, I and tbe nomination ot honest men for office. THE pn. nosal of The H brld that Seymour should resign and Blair be kicked out. has had an unexpected result. The World, be ing no longer fit to be read in the Democrat ic party, is to be yead out of it. On Saturday next Brick Pomero", who is the coming Man, will turn the Evening Democrats into the Mouring Democrats , With the assurance that it will be sustained as the recognized organ of the New York Democracy. Cool. and impudent Chairman Wallace, of the Rebel Democracy State Central Commit tee, is issuing flaming cards about Pennsylva uia being carried by "grossest frauds" of the Radicals. Mr. Wallace should stain his phiz with coffee, bundle up the fraudulent naturalization papers, and emigrate to Mexico. Tt is funny to hear the Rebel Democracy prating about frauds of the Radicals when they cheated us fully six thousand votes. "The Democratic party of the present day is Democratic in name, and nothing else," said 1- rank Blair in 1864; and, in the confi dence of our complete, through, sweeping, eternal victory, we are willing to do violence to the meaning of the language, and permit them still to retain the name. It is about all tbey have got left. And we can even echo the sentiments of the bold aud party-true and office-despising Biair in bis same utterance (1864), "has not one scintilla of true Demo cracy to animate its carcass." HALF A MILLION of Democrats are anx ious to vote for Grant on the 3d of November and nothing restrains them but the belief that by doing so they would he deserting Sey mour. Now let the rebel leaders force Sey mour to resign, and these half a million of Democrats will go with a rush for the Great Captain. DUUING the Democratic procession in Cin cinnati. on Saturday night, an old lady cheer ed for General Grant, when a bold "White Boy in Blue" stepped from the ranks and knocked her down. Two ladies at another point cheered for Grant, when an officer of the procession approached tbein with a drawn sword, but a Grant man drew a revol ver, and the coward sneaked away. THE New York Democrat states that Sey mour has placed his resignation at the dispo sal of the Executive Committee. At St. Louis Frank Blair stated that he did the same. They confess they are too heavy a load for the party, and want to get off the ticket. To Blair it must be particularly gratifying to be universally recognized by his party as the Jonah who is sinking it. THK Ohio Slate Union Executive Commit tee have awarded to Lawrence county Ohio, a magnificent silk banner for having given a larger Union gain at the State election than any county in Ohio. The Republicao gain on last year's vote in Lawrence county was I,4sB,which, considering the total vote in Lawrence county, is remarkably large. All honor to the men with iron nerves ana honest hearts who so nobD fought, and so gallantly vanquished the fo?i to their interests, their liberties and their aws. HOHSTIO is repor.ed to Lave perpetrated the following joke since the late elections: An old triend, a War Democrat, met the Governor, who appeared to be in a serious and thoughtful mood when the former ex claimed, "Cheer up. Governor, Grant is a good Democrat, so the best thing you can do is to fall in with the Boys in Blue." "It strikes me we are blue enough already," replied Horatio, as he strode off with a melancholy air. THE Missouri Democrat prints a cut of a sick rooster, and tells this anecdote: "Every one has heard the story of the sick passen ger on a steamer, who said he had the best uf* ihat Uiuuei, Le tasted it onoo whan it went down, and again when it came up.' The Democratic party is getting two tastes of Blair. The first was pleasant; the second —see cut!" THE Gallipolis (Ohio) Journal says: "A private letter received from a Kentuckian by a gentleman says: "Very many people here are buying Confederate bonds at ten cents on the dollar, in anticipation of the election of Seymour and Blair, in which event tbey believe the bonds will be at par or at least of a value approaching par.' " THE Democratic minority in the U. S. Senate will reach a low figure in the Forty first Congress. They lose five Senators in Con necticut, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin, andgsinonein Ohio. They may also gain one in New Jersey in place of Senator Frelinghuysen, whose term expires in 1869. This would give them nine mem bers from the loyal States, including Tennes see. It is impossible to say how many, if any, they will have from the reconstructed States. THE Governor of North Carolina has issued a proclamation announcing his intention to defend the constitutionality of the reconstruct ed State Governments, if assailed, and also to punish all who endeavor to inlimidite voters. He says: "If it be the purpose of any portion of the people, by the use of arms, or by threats or intimidations, to prevent the people from going to the spoils and voting as they may choose to vote on the third day of next month, it is my duty to inform that force will be met with force, and that every person who may thus violate the law will be punished. Every race of men in this State is free. The colored citizen is equally entitled with the white citizen to the right of suf frage. The poor and the humble must be pro tected in this right equally with the affluent and the exalted. The election must be absolutely free."
