A comparison of these records shows that the Republican House ol ib-3 nau only eurhtv-one officers, clerks, tneseengnrs, and em ploye., while the " reform" Democratic House of 1S75-8 had one hundred and fifteen.

It ill be comes a Democrat who thus speaks to associate with men whom he thus denounces: Gov ernor Vance once nsked Ben Hill how it was that Georcia had got so far ahead of North Carolina in put'ingdown Radicalism. Ilereplied the. reason was very obvious. When a man of social position join, the Radical party in Georgia we not only brand htm with infamy ."but we' put him in Coventry, and all sociiljutercourse with bim is broken off. But in North Carolina you meet him and treat him as you formerly did ! In the one case he feels his infamy and is de terred, and in the other he does not." This re mark is worthy of all consideration, and let every true Democrat act on it. i J ton PEMSYLVAXIA HOLDS THE FORT Hdqrs. HrmucM STate Cotmmtt, PBitiDELABiA, October 14, 1878. To th Jfcorrfe of Pmnmtrani i. Eleven years after the overthrow of the re bellion we find the men who forced It upon the country again preparing to seize tbe Govern ment. It" to the old Confederate army united unon the old Confederate heresy. They have never abandoned their cherished idea they still think with Mr. Tilden that oors is a confederacy and not a nation. They have made him their candidate because he never abandoned the de clared conviction that " the Constitution of the United States. Is only oreanUed revolution. and that " any State has tbe right to snap tbe tie at its pleasure." This was the heresy that fired the rebel gun from Charleston against Sumter in 1M1 ; and this is the heresy they are remarshaUed in 176 to re-establish. To this end, thev have crushed out Republican opinion in every Southern Mate, to this end they have made the white Republican an out- east, and the black Republican a vassal. To this end, coercion of Republicans la their stern discipline. By force, their Confederate heresy is again the cement to make a Mid uSA. The Confederate army is far more united to day in the new eifort to scire the Government than it was fifteen years ago in the mad effort to destroy it. They are still aided by their sympa thizers in the North. They have concentrated the struggle upon a single Issue the revolution of the GomriiMitl. They sink every other ques tion out of sight, aud thus thty teach your d'lty. Shall they recover by the ballot, eouf-.'ired upon them by Repuhliran magnanimity, what they lost on tbe battle-field in conflict with the people they betrayed I We have" met and vanquished their assaulting columns five times since the first Tuesday of September, lstrs in Vermont, Maine, Colorado, Ohio, and Indiana gaining ten members of COU2TCSS, electing nve Legislatures, including tnst ot Indiana, wnicn even tne reoei raiders from Kentucky were not able to capture. Democratic victories in the South are only evidences of Democratic terrorism over Repub licans. Sixty-live thousand Democratic ma jority in Georgia means 6o,000 rebel shotguns at tne polls. Three weeks only are left to us ta meet the new crisis forced upon us by these men. What Kill Fmntyivaniadot Our enemies, confident of successful coercion all over the South, have resolved to make another attack upon this great Mate. Ibey leave the South in the sale custody of the reorganized Confederate army, and tbe are now, as In lvw, marching upon rrnnbyl vania in determined array, and their rebel yell already is beard within our limits. . Let us be prepared for them. Our great Commonwealth has alwavs been the stronghold of nationality. During the war she gave her treasures of men and money to the cause of ber country. Standing between tbe two sectiotis, she has alwavs been the foe of sectionalism. She stood by Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Meade during all tbe struggles of the war. The people believed that when Vicksburg and Get tysburg fell on the 4th of July, 1853, the great work, ol restoration was accomplished and the rebellion was dead, but they are now brought face to face with a revolution as dangerous as tne rebellion itseir. When fifteen States can be more unified by the shotgun and tbe bludgeon than they were by armed secession Itself, and when this combi nation is enforced by the suppression of free speecn, a tree naiiot, and Tree schools, its sue cees must end our republican experiment. Tiiese men tried to fight their way out of the Union at an incalculable sacrifice of human life, aud now they are trying within the Lutou, by new forms of iolence and fraud, to re-establish the dogmas supposed to be destroyed on the battle-field. All tliev ask is a sufficient contin gent from the tree States to complete their pro gramme. it is in this Centennial year, when Pennsyl vania is Inviting all tbe nations to ber hospitali ties, and proffering encouragement and kindness to her Southern sisters, that the Confederates advance upon ber borders to make another effort for the heresy which originated and pro- loiureti tne rcoeinon. Pennsylvania demands "peace and unity." but she demands thm as the result of cheerful obedience to iat law, and not as the sullen submission compelled by the officers of the Gov ernment. Pennsylvania demands industrial and com mercial prosperity ; but she knows that these are the fruits of aceful and orderly society, based upon honesty and right, and cannot grow nut of the anarchy and chaos threatened by a solid South. Pennsylvania will first have jus tice, then prosperity. Has tbe country no road to prosperity but that which discraees the scars of the living soldiers and dishonors the graves of the dead i Pennsylvania will have purity In public ad ministration, but she wants none of the illusive promises of " reform " made by Tilden and il lustrated by Tweed and the disciples of Tam many Hall. Men of Pennsylvania, upon you rests the re sponsibility vours Is the absorbing obligation. Will you ' Hold the Fort"f By order of the Committee. Henry M. Hott, Chairman. A. Witso Tsohris, Secretary. HAYES AXD ".VHEELER. I desire to say a few words upon the record of the two candidates, as illustrating the character of eaeh. In lSf), prior to the election of Mr. Lincoln, T:ldn avowed his adhesion to the Southern view of the right of secession. Ho declared our system to be a compact of con federation betwer n the States," w ithout a com mon arbiter to enforce a just construction and execution of the instrument. He asserted the rhrht of a S:te to "snap the tie of confedera tion as a nation miirht break a treaty; and the ritrht to repel coercion as a nation might repel invasion." He thti rauged himself with Frank lin Pierce, who in January of the same year, in a letter to Jefferson Davis, gave " aid and com fort" to the conspirators of secession and dis union. When secession came Rutherford B. Hayes accepted the resulting war as "just and necessary," and " demanding the whole power of the country." When the great war meetinz of April. lSrtl, was held in New York. Mr. Til den declined to sien his name to the call, re juir- mz urji to Know wnai resolutions were to be passed at it, showing by how delicate a thread nis aevonon to the country was suspended. Mr. Hayes said then he would preier to go into the war li ne Knew ne was to be killed in the course of it rather thsn to live through and after it without taking any part in it. In mi4.wh-n Mr Tilden w as at Chicago helping to concoct that resolution of surrender passed bv the Demo cratic National Convention, General Haves was writing from the field that ' the office r who, at this crisis, would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped." It is claimed by Tilden -s friends that Lincoln sometimes consulted him. So he toved with other dangerous men in the North corre sponded with them, conferred with them, pleaded with them, areued with them. j teted them, toyed with them, that thereby uc misiit uiuuiiy mem, ana measure them, unfang them, or convert them. Lincoln was a diplomatist as well as a patriot, and c,-.-idered nothing a loss which removed an o.tacle from tbe path of the nation, or "hinted the weapon or parried the blow of an "nerny. Lincoln mav have sent for and con ferred with Mr. Tilden ; but the documentary proof must be furnished belore the country can believe that such conference was between friends who confided in each other, and were equally intent upon a common object. Like wise the characters of the two men are in aarked contrast. Haves set up for himself a noble standard when, in college davs, he wrote in his private diarv these wr.rrt. : ' Th I reputation that I desire is not that momentary eminence which is gained without merit, and 4 'J without regret. Give me the popularity ti wt runs after, not that which is sought lor." Cc trat these words with the spirit shown bv Mr. Tilden, whose training began in the srhol of w York politics, in the corrupt davs of Van 1 Xuren- Dd whose career has been a con tlnuou. ' devotion to the methods and princi ples an measures of that d.ruastv of which Tweedisn wa but tn logical and necessary issue.

They fought out their war. The questions between us could not be settled by peaceable means i they had to be set tled by the arbitrament of war, and it came, and they were settled ; and I have said to them in their own sunny South, as I have on the floor of Congress, as I have said to my own people, I hope they will cherish every battle-flag or broken flagstaff under w hich they fought, as evidence of the valor shown when Americans meet Americans In a war for principles applause ; but I hare begged them to Inscribe on each banner and each staff the num'.ter of stalwart men who died or were crippled in its support ; the number of widows and orphans that were made by the eoursjre which hurled the Confederate forces upon the conquering columns of the I'nion ; so that men, both North and South, should knew, through all time, the terrible conse quences that would follow a destructive blow at the life of the nation. Applause. They will not chares me with being hostile to them, for I have voted in three Congresses for universal amnesty ; and I believe it would be better if, in this Centennial year, no m;in were disfranchised for political offences. But while 1 am thus kindly disposed toward them, and perfectly willing that they shall ride with me and counsel with equal voice as to the road we shall travel.

Tilden had a dream the other night. He dreamed that he was elected d was making up his Cabinet. For Secretary or the Treasury he had three candidates a hard-npney Democrat, a soft-monev Democrat, and Confederate general. While he was puzzling" over the matter he remembered that he ha,l about eighty thousand offices to fill w;'fc.ut of fending the Hards, the SfM. or tb solid South. Did be send for Hendricks T Not much. He took a pencil and wrote: 7ae Softs don't count; the Hards must wait; t'ivu solid South, with one hundred and thirty elitht electoral votes, made my election p-ossi-ble. and I dare not forget it." And then the Softs connted, after all. for the solid South wanted Greenbacks by the bale, and the Hards were left out in the cold, scarcely know ing how their cunning success with platform and candidates had proved their gain. MODEL REFORMERS." The Hairisliurg Telcrnjih says : " In the courts of New York John Morrissey is brought for ward to answer for refusing to account tor moneys entrusted to htm as the head of a gambling policy' business, and he pleads the illegal nature of the business in tar of s prosec'i cutmn to force him to disgorge : and Trenor W. Park, president of the notorious Emma Mine, swears that himself, Mr. Seligman, Samuel J. Tilden, and TUilm't t -o brnther. owned the Central t'nilerground Railroad in New York, ami that they had ' put up' ?i".rH) to buy additional le-jislation from the Legt-lature of New York ! Morrissey "s defence took place In New York city. Tilden's disgrace was ex hibited at Poughkeepsie. Thus on the oamc day we find th3 Democratic Presidential can didate sworn to as a part of a loMty to corrupt the New York Legislature, and his chief sup porter, the leading gambler of the United States, pleading the rascally character of bis doings to escape punishment for defrauding his dupes. Is this the sort of men to whom the country can safely look fur reform.' Is the eountry awake to the horror impending over it, when such a man as Tilden aspires to its Chief Magistracy, supported by such a creature as Morrissry, his trusted lieutenant. Verily, those who are eager for 'a chang-' woui.t do well to study for a moment the kin 1 of change such a man as Tilden otters It. It seems !r-.po sible that such a nameless disgrace as Tilden's election can impend over this country ; but it is the easiest thing in the world to estimate the degradation aura to flow from suoh a calamity." CTrea Jmtgs Xelley's Indianapolis Speech. DEMOCRACY. Deaf to the Appeal of the TTorklns; People Unfinished Public Buildings. Let me bring to your attention a measure on which the Democratic friends of the working people were more parsimonious. We usually appropriate about four millions and a half for public buildings. We have large public build ings standing" unfinished. In f hicafo alone 1 45,'sVi a year rent is pa:d for offices which are to be in the Government building, which is nearly completed. In Philadelphia we have ex pended nearly ?3,0fi0,n0O. Public huildines are standing unfinished- in many rities ; and yonr Democratic committee reduced the annual ap propriation for this purpose more than one-naif. If they can afford to pay two millions and a half in coin interest every year for the silver to make j sulisidiary coin, why could they not lnthisyear, i when the workinz people are so distressed. arord for this one year to spena me nsuaa amount of money on public buildings i They svmpathize, so thev sav, with the laboring classes. Let ns see how they manifested their sympathy. What is a public building J It is ninety-five per cent., and more, of labor, and less than five per cent, of raw material, or capi tal. Ninety-live per cent, of tbe two additional millions would have flowed into tbe bands of the laboring classes of the country, and would have quickened trade and industry to a eonsid eraMc ext"nt. What. I ask you again, is a pub lic building f Why, the making of the hole in which you put th--foundation t he cellar is all labor for man and beast. The foundations are stone in the quarry of lit'le value, but labor quarries them, handles them, and embodies tliem in the wall. Te ciay lies in yonder ti'ld until labor d'.trs and treats and moulds it, until other labor gathers to it fuel, and converts tho sott clav Into the enduring brick. Tbo granite in the quarries of New Eniland, or marble in those ,,f Pennsylvania, or the beauti ful stone at Juliet, Illinois, is of little value wherever it mav be until labor blasts and quar ries and handles and dreses it, and puts it in its place for a structure of permanence and utility and beau'v. The public building is timber in yonder iArest of little value, obstruct ing the prrrrejs of settlement, ontil the wood manthe stalwart pioneer woodman with bis ate brlnss down the monarch' of tbe forest, floats or hauls them to the mill, and they are cut into timber, fashioned into forms of beauty for ornament, or moulded into doors and sash. What is Iron and ore in the bank Coal In the mine?

These are the elements of public buildings, and the two millions withheld by this Demo cratic Coneriss from the continuance of llie buildings already heirun are ?2.e ;,000 withheld from the suffering laboring jvople uf the coun try In this time of depression and want.
