J>£MOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, J 901 ARCH STREET, Philadelphia, Aug. 24, 186 S. ' To the People of Pennsylvania : The Radicals re-produce the stale slanders of the past, and try to ignore the grave questions of the present. They prate of their loyalty and make it the excuse for their corruption, ! their extravagance and their misrule. They imagine that you have slept during three years of their iniquitous misgovernment, and that you will for- : got that taxation oppresses you, that your business is broken up. They have proven themselves pow- ! crful to destroy and powerless to re store. Their only policy is hate, and upon this they ask a new lease of power, i forgetful that a thinking and practical people require them to answer : Why is the national debt greater now than when Lee surrendered, and why does it still increase? What has become of the fifteen hun dred millions of dollars they have wrung from the comforts and necessi ties of the people since June, 18G5? Why are more than one hundred millions of dollars annually wasted on the unreconstructed South, and why is it not made to yield us as much, to relieve us from taxation, and aid in paying our debt? Why is the white man made the infe rior of the negro in every Southern State? Why is one class of men totally ex empt from taxation while all others groan beneath the load they should aid in bearing ? Why shall the 5-20 IMMUD be paid in gold when by the express terms of the contract, they were made payable in legal-tender notes? Why is the constitution violated, and the Union not restored, and why are our resources wasted, and the peo ple oppressed, the cost of living trebled, and our trade destroyed ? Democrats of Pennsylvania: Arouse the People. < )rganize a speaking canvass in every locality. Go into the strongholds of Radicalism, and, Teach the People. Direct your arguments to reason and and not to the passions. Confine them to the living issues of the present and of the immediate future. l*ursue the Enemy. Our grand old Slate moves steadily hut surely into her true place in the Democratic line. From every section comes the glad news of a defiant and united Detnocra cy, and of a torpid and dispirited foe. Organization, energy and united ef fort will bring you a glorious victory. Arouse (he People. Teach (he people. Pursue the Enemy. By order of the Democratic State Committee. WM. A. WALLACE, Chairman. no*, f. m. wimui:i.v. We place upon the ticket printed at the head of our editorial columns, the name of F. M. Kimmell, of Franklin county, as the Democratic candidate for Congress in this (the 16th) district. It is hardly necessary to commend this nomination to the voters who are to choose our next Congressman. Judge Kimmell is known to almost every man in the district and no one will deny his ability, or dispute his sound ness as a Democrat. He is not only capable, but honest, and holds correct views on all the great issues now bo fore the people. lie will make such a representative as the people can well be proud of, and in his hands tlicir in terests will always be safe. During his services as Judge, he was univer sally respected and admired not only for his ability as a jurist, but for the promptness with which he con ducted the business of our courts, and the care he exercised in lightening the expenses of his judicial administration. Think of him in comparison with John Cessna! A true man against a traitor; an honest man against a cor ruptionist; an able man against a petti fogger. But personalitiesare as nothing in the scale between these two candi dates. If Cessna be elected, he will vote for all the devilish and infamous schemes of the Radicals; he will record his vote on the same side with Ben. Butler, Ashley, Bingham, Kelley, and the rest of the reckless revolution ists who have brought the country to the verge of ruin. If Kimmell be elected, he will vote for peace and re conciliation with the Southern people, for a reduction of the Standing Army, for the abolition of the Freedmen's- Bureau, for the payment of the Pub lic Debt, as speedily as possible, accord ing to the contract, for taxation of Government Bonds, for the constitu tional powers of the President and the independence of the Judiciary, and for the enfranchisement of the hun dreds of thousands of white Americans who are now mere vassals to the ne gro majorities of the Southern States. Between these men and the principles they represent, the people must choose. Who then can hesitate to vote for Judge Kimmell, able and upright, on the White Man's Platform of Liberty to All, Equality of the States, Civil as against Military Government, Peace and Harmony between the North and South and the Reduction of the Ex- penses of the Government, as against John Cessna, a mere trickster, who was never known to be true to any man, upon the Black Platform of Ne gro Rule in the South, upheld by the bayonet, at a cost of hundreds of mil lions per annum ? Democrats, Repub licans! Make your choice and choose ye wisely. W. J. HACK. ISt- Hon. J. McDowell Sharpe, of Frank lin, having declined to be a candidate for Additional Law Judge, W. J. Baer, Esq., of Somerset, is the only person now mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for that office. We presume no formal nomi nation will be made and that Mr. Baer will be adopted as the candidate of tiie party, without the preliminaries of a conference. We accordingly insert his name instead of that of Mr. Sharpe, in the ticket at the head of our paper. Mr. Baer is one of the ablest lawyers in this judicial district, a man of high character and will make a firstrate judge. P. S.—Since writing the above, we have received the proceedings of the conference, which met at Somerset, on Saturday last, and unanimously nominated Mr. Baer. We will publish them in our next. KIMMELL and a vote in Congress for the speedy payment of the public debt, according to the contract. Cess na and a vote for a Funding Rill to continue the load of that debt upon the shoulders of the people for an indef inite period. KIMMF.M, and a vote in Congress for the Abolition of the Freedmeu's Bureau Negro Boarding School. Cessna and a vote in Congress to spend twelve millions per annum of the people's money to keep the Southern negroes in idleness. KIMMEFI, and a vote in Congress for the restoration cf the lawful loyal State Governments of the South. Cess na and a vote in Congress for the con tinuanceof the Reconstruction swindle, Negro legislatures, Negro Executives and Negro Judges. asrtifovxi Ctetttt?* JOHN CESSNA. This man is now a candidate for pub lic otliee. lie has thrown down the gauntlet and asks the people to pass judgment upon his claims to their sup port. Is he honest? Is he capable? These questions would have been asked if John Cessna had been a candidate twenty years ago. Perhaps they are obsolete now. Perhaps in this cor rupt and crimc-stained ago, people do not care whether they are answered or not. As for ourselves, we do care; these questions shall be asked and an swered. Is John Cessna honest? Ask tiie railroad company whose passes he has used as instrumentalities of corruption, the conferees he has bribed, the friends he lias betrayed. Tel! us not of his professed Christianity. It is hollow as a drum. The man who could erect a gallows for his fellow creature with whom he drinks the sacramental wine, is another Judas Iseariot as black hearted as the first. The man who thirsted for the blood of young Reed, his fellow church-member, and the son ofa true and life-long friend,could hardly claim credit for much piety. Tell us not of his correct business hab its. They are correct only when cor rectness "pays." Tell us not of his friendship for those in distress. Jle generally manages to make himself "whole" for the friendship wasted on such cases. Is he honest politically? Groat God ! What has he left untouched that is vile, toul and infamous in poli ties ? lie sold himself to the Republi cans in 1861 for an election to the Leg islature, sold himself back again to the Democrats for a re-election in IJSG2, and re-sold himself to the Republicans in 1864, for the promise ofa Congression al nomination. In 1863 he tried to bribe the Democratic conferees to nom inate him for State Senator and in 1866 he bought enough delegates to the Radical County Convention to beat Col. Jordan for Governor. His game in politics has always been buying and selling. Is such a man honest f Is he capable? Yes he is capable— "lit for treason, stratagems and spoils" —especially the "spoils." He is capable of representing the people of this district in a Congress composed of the Ash leys, the Butlers, the Mullinses, the C. Bowens and that sort of cattle. If the Constitu tion is to he trampled under foot, if the negro is to he made a voter and an of fice-holder, if the white man is to be disfranchised, if the Supreme Court is to he gagged, if the President is to he impeached for partizan purposes, and above all, if the public lands are to be voted away to some gigantic corpora tion, whose agents are in the lobby, Cessna is capable of accomplishing as much as any man in the district. But if broad views of public policy are de manded, if fraud and corruption, ma lignity and devilishness are to be ban ished from the halls of Congress, then is he incapable, for he cannot exist in an atmosphere of which these are not constituent parts. Is he honest? Is he capable? We defy any man who knows him as well as we do, to answer these questions in the affirmative. riiK sixn:i:vru oxreksioxal IHSIKKT This is considered by men of "good judgment, in both parties, as a close" district. In 1562 the Democrats car ried it by about 500 majority. In 1864, we carried it again, on the home vote, by a like majority, hut on a contest, based upon returns from the army, the Radical candidate was declared elected by about 60 majority. In 1866, we lost the district by upwards of 600. In 1867, we regained it by the follow ing vote: Dem. Had. nut}, Adams, 392 _ Bedford, ;t6O Franklin 189 Fulton 810 Somerset 1215 1230 1215 Dem. Maj. in District, 15 It is, therefore, clear that the party which does the hardest work, which has the most thorough discipline and to whose side the "changes" incline, will elect its candidate for Congress. Brag will not do. lie is a "good dog," vveknow, but "Hold On" is a much better. Cessna, the Radical candidate, and McClure, his bottle-holder, hope to win by boasting of assured success. The latter has given out that Franklin county will return KM) Radical majori ty, whilst little John admits that he will be beaten in Bedford, but puts the figures at only 150. Now, the Democ racy of Bedford county propose to spoil this calculation, so far as they are concerned. They will take care of their part of the job, and they ex pect their brethren in Franklin lo upset the figures of that braggart, Mc- Clure. It is about time that the rule of such corruptionists as Cessna and McClure were broken in this Congress ional district. Shall it be done? KIMMEFI, and a vote in Congress to restore to the President his Constitu tional powers. Cessna and a vote with Butler, Bingham and Ashley, to sus tain the Impeachment conspiracy. SHOW your hands! There be those who shuffle and vacillate between Rad icalism and Democracy. This is no time for such indecision. Face the mu sic and let us know where you are. Stand up, like men, and speak out. The people are in earnest in their de mand for a change and they will have no "cow-boys" between them and their enemies. THE name of John Cessna is the synonym of political corruption. There are those who can vote for him because they are of his political party. There are none who are opposed to him in politics who can vote for him without smirching their own reputation. JOHN CESSNA is now sneaking a round the corners trying to induce Democrats to vote for him. A few nights ago he said there was was "noth ing meaner in hell than a copperhead." Of course he doesn't apply that term to Democrats. JOHN CESSNA is a traitoi to the party that made him. What member of that [tarty can find it in his heart to be so false to his associates as to vote for this ung'rateful renegade? JOHN CESSNA'S character as a buying and selling politician, makes it impossi ble for any Democrat to vote for him and retain the confidence of his fellow Democrats. KIMMELL and a vote in Congress for the reduction of the Standing Army. Cessna and a vote in Congress for tiie perpetuation of Military Rule at a cost of $150,000,000 per annum. KIMMELL and reconciliation of the Northern and Southern people. Cess na and malice, hate and revenge tow ard the subjugated white people of the South. KIMMELL and a vote in Congress for the independence of the Judiciary. Cessna and a vote in Congress to gag the Supreme Court. KIMMELL and taxation of Govern ment Bonds. Cessna and taxes on ev ery thing and every body except the bond-holder. KIMMELL and One Currency for All. Cessna and gold for the bondholders and paper for the plow-holders. Put up Your MHIII|>M, or Sliul up Your liali. We have had placed at our disposal for the accommodation of betting Rad icals, fourteen thousand five hundred dollars [sll,soo], to be staked on the coining presidential election", as fol lows : SI,OOO that Seymour and Blair will carry Connecticut.

This amount of money, to be bet as stated, has been placed in the Bank ing House of W. F. Reynolds & Co., and tbe editor of this paper will make the necessary arrangements, with any radical or any party of radicals, who desire to take it. Come on gentlemen or stop your blowing! We are going to succeed this fait.

LOUIS, August 28.— A Denver dispatch says the Cheyenne and Arra pahoe Indians continue their depreda tions, murdering inoffensive settlers in Central and Eastern Colorado. On Tuesday they attacked Kiowa Station on Smoky llill route, capturing thirty horses and carrying off one woman and a child, whose remains were found yes terday shockingly mutilated, and brought here for burial. Another band killed three men yesterday at Latham Patto on the stage route, and chased the Smoky Hill coach several miles, keeping up a running fire without damage. Governor Hal! organized a company of sixty volunteers, aud left at three o'clock this morning. Gener al Sheridan authorized him toeallon the commander of Fort Reynolds for assis tance. No doubt every effort will he made to overtake and punish the In dians. Great excitement exists. The Indians are stripping the country of all stock and provisions, and twelve per sons are known to have been murder ed in the past two days. A Cheyenne dispatch says: Edward M. Pratt, of Peoria, Illinois, in company with B. J. Evert, herding horses two miles from the city, early this morning, was sur prised by five ludians and scalped. He was brought into the hospital, where he died at ten o'clock. At a ball on the 22d, at White .Sul phur Springs Va., Gen, Roeecrans was in the ball-room and was escorting a lady. Gens. Lee and Beauregard were at the same time promenading with v ith two of the belles of the Springs. "The McClellan Legion," of New York, is now working for Seymour and Blair. The members propose to give Gen. McClellan a dinner on his arrival in New York. (PUrtion groriamation.
