The Democratic House of Representative, at ltt last session, cut down the working force of the executive department so much that the necessary work cannot be properly done. The paper and speak. . i of that party have also as serted over mid over again that the clerical force of the House and the former number of employes were la addition greatly reduced, and a large aavimr accomplished thereby. But tlie facts, as cof piled fruin the ollicial records of the House, show that this statement is utterly false. A comparison of these records hows that the Kepulilican House of lH7-d had only eighty-one officers, clerks, messengers, and em ployes, while the " reform" Democratic House of ib75-6 had one hundred and hfteeu.

Here is what the Greenville Wtpru of South Carolina, say. about it editorially : 44 The Democrats everywhere have by word branded the Republican with infant?, and called them thieves and scoundrels. It ill be come a Democrat who thus speaks to associate with men whom he thus denounces! Gov ernor Vance once asked Ben Hill how it was that Georgia had eot so far ahead of North Carolina iu putting down Radicalism. He replied the reason was very obvious. When a tniu of social position joins the IL-uiical party in ticorgia we not only brand him with infamy, but we put him In Coventry, and all Roeial'ititcrconrse with him is broken oil'. But in North Carolina you meet him and treat him a you formerly did ! In the one case he feels his in lam v and is de terred, and in the other he does not."" This re mark is worthy of all consideration, and let very trua Democrat act on it. PEWISYLVAHIA HOLDS THE FORT! Udo.es. Kn-rBLic-AX State Couxrrrrr, PulLAPl LSHJA, October U, 1"?6. To fh TVopIe of I'mnfiyuiU : Eleven years after the overthrow of the re bellion we find the men who forced it upon the couutrv again prcTrartnir to trim the Govern ment. H Is the old Confederate army united upon the old Confederate heresy. They have never abandoned their cherished idea they still think with Mr. Tildcn that ours 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 l only ortanired revolution," and that ' any State 'ha the riht to snap the tie at its pleasure." This w as the hereby that fired the rebel -run from Charleston against Sumter in 1W1 ; and this is the heresy they are rcinarshalled In l"tl to re-establish. To this end, thevhaveeruhcd out Republican "opinion in every Southern State. To this end. they have made the wnltc ttepuulieau au out cast, and the black Republk-au a vassal. To this end, coercion of Republican is their stern discipline. By force, their Coiilederale heresy is apiin the cement to make a Sulvi &uih. The Conledcrate army Is far more united to day in the new effort to seize the Government than it was fifteen years ao in the mad effort to destroy it. They are still aided by their sympa thizers in the North. They have concentrated the stm-nrle upon a finplc issue the rcrviutiu.i ofll.t Ourermvut. They sink every other ques tion out of silit, and thus Ary faucA u our oV.'. t-hall thev recover by the ballot, conferred u;ion thcia by Republican ma:nianiuiily, what tlier lost on the baitle-tield iu couliict with the ueonle thev betraved t We have met and vanirul-hcd their a"aultits col umn?! hve times since the t.rt iucsilav ol S ptcuilier, in Vermont, .Maine, Colorado, Ohio, aud Indiana taininr ten nieinliers of Concress, ekvtiiur five Legislatures, inclu.lir.s that of Indiana, which even the reW-l raiders llrc'in Kentucky were not able to capture. Democratic victories in the South are onlv evidences of Democratic tfrTorim over Repub licans. Sixty-five thousand Democratic ma jority in Georgia means 65,1100 rebel shot-run at the polls. Three weeks only are left to us to meet the new crisis forced UKa us by these mm. li'Aur ri 1'euiiujlnntia tiut Our enemies, confident of successful coercion all over t he Sotit h, have resolved to make another attack upon this ireat Mate, llicv leave tlie frouth iu the sale custixly of the reorpinised Conledcrate army, aud the arc now, as in !&!, tuurchiiii-; upon feniisyl- vania in acterm'.ueu array, and tneir rebel yell already is heard within our limits. I-et us be pn'iared for thi-m. Our irreat Commonwealth has aluavs be n the stronghold of nationality. Iuriu;tlie war she gave her treasures ot men and money to the cause of her country. Standing between the two sections, she has always beeu the foe of sectionalism. She stood by Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Meade durinir all the st rUL'irics of the war. The H-ople believed that when Vicksbur- and GcU tysbur-; lell on the 4th of July, lvsi, the tcreat work oi restorstlion was accuuiplishcd aud the rebellion was dead, but they ar now brought face to face with a revolution as dangerou a the rebellion itjelf. When fifteen States can be more unified by the shouruu and the bludgeon than they were by armed secession itself, and when this cotnbi natiou is enforced bv the suppression of free s Itx-cli, a free ballot, and free schools, its suc cess must end our republican cx-ierimeiit. Thise men tried to fitht their way out of the I'nion at an incalculable sacrifice of human life, and now they are trying within the Union, by new torms of violence and fraud, to re-estab-li;h the dogmas supposed to be destroyed oi the Lattle-licld. All they ask is a sufficient contin gent troui the free States to complete their pro gramme. It is in this Centennial year, when Pennsyl vania Is inviting all the nations to her hospitali ties, and pnitlerii;encounureinent and kln.lne-s to her Southern sisters, that the Couiedexa-.es advance upou her borders to make another sHort for the heresy which oiifcina'd and pro lon;ed the rt-tiellion. Pennsylvania demands "peace and unity," but she demands them a the result of cheerful obedience to just law, and not as the sullen submission compelled by the otlicsrs of the Gov ernment, Pennsylvania demands industrial and com mercial pros-ierity ; but she knows that these are the fruits of piaietul and orderly society, baeed upon honesty and riht, and cannot prow out of the anarchy and chaos threatened by soi:i south. rennsylvauia will first have jus tice, then properity. Has the country no road to prosjitrity but that whirh d.seraces the ears if th iiviu; soldiers and dishonors the (-raves of the dead ! Pennsylvania will have purity in public ad ministration, but she wants none of the illusive promises of " reform " made bv Tildcn and il lustrated by Tweed and th disci-ilcs of Tam many Hail. Men of Pennsylvania, upon you rests the re sponribiiitv Tour is the absorbing obligation. Will you ' Hold the Port" I By order of the Committee. Henkt M. Hott, Chairman. A. Wilsox NoitKis, Secretary. HAYES AND WHEELER. I desire to say a few word upon the record of the two caudidatcs, as illustrating the character of each. In siiO, prior to th election of Mr. Lincoln. Tilden avowed his adhesion to the ts.uthcrn view of the riht cf secession. He declared our system to be a " compact of con federation between the States," without a com mon arbiter to enforce a just construction and execution of the instrument, lie asserted th ruxhtof a State to "snap the tie of coufedera- ioii a nation nii-'ht break a treatv: and the nini to repel eoerciou as a nation mt;ht repel invasion." He thus ranjrd himself with Frank lin Pierce, who in January of the same year, in a letter to Jctttrson Davis, cav "aid and coin. fort" to the conspirators of secession and dis union, vsoen secession came Rutherford B. Hayes accepted the resulting war as "just and necessary, and " demandiur the whole nower oi ma country. v nrn toe great war ineet-n of April, lxil, was held in New Tork. Mr. TU den declined to sign his name to the call, requir ing first to know what resolutions were to be passed at it, showing by how delicate a thread hi devotion ro the country was sutpeudoi. Mr. Have said then he would prefer to go iuto tb war if he knew he wan te be killed in the course of it rather than to live tbrmich and after it without taking any part in it. In ISfli.when Mr. Tilden w a at Chicago helping to concoct that resolution of surrender passed by th Demo cratic National Convention. General Have was writing from the field that " the oairer who, at this erisla, would abandon his pot to electioneer for a seat In Coupes ought to be scalped." It is claimed by Tilden' friend that Lincoln ometune consulted bint. Ho be toyed with other dangeroo men in the North oorre spanded with them, conferred with them, pleaded with them, rtrued with them, tngted tbetn, toyed wits 'them, that thereby he mlht mollify them, and measure them. nuraug tna, or convert them. Lincoln wa a diplomatist as well as a patriot, aud e-insMered nothing a loss which removed an obstacle from tb path of the nation, or blunted the weapon or parried the blow of an ' icmy. Lineolu rasv have sent for and cou-fc.-red with Mr. Tilden ; but the documentary proof must be furnished before th country c believe that such conference wa between friend who confided iu each other, and were qually intent upon a common object. Like wise th characters of ..the two men ar in marKea contrast, jiayes set up for himself a noble ctaodard when, in college days, he wrote In his private diary these words : 44 The. reputation that I desire is not that nioinentar y eminent- which is gained without merit, a lost without regret. Give me th popula j-T that run after, not that which is sought f Contrast these words with the spirit eho m nT Mr. Tilden, whose training: bepan ir the jrnoot of New York politics, in the corrupt i Ayt 0( Van Buren, and whos career has beer , con Unoon devotion to th methods an j princi p!e and measure of that dvnastv cf which Twedisra was but tb logical and necessary tue. l"he country can, of all pose4 0i eaUmi tie, least afford to endure the ov 3kudowing danrer which would come from ,n,piantin?
