Now they are numerous, and their presence serves to keep the people in remembrance of the villainnies perpetrated by the Democracy. Wonderful are the changes that have oveurred in Len years, but the only change made in the Democratic party is from bad to worse.—~Jersey Shore Vidette. Ax Invitariox To Dixxmn.—A good story is told of a couple of farmers who lived a few miles apart. One day one called on the other, happening around at dinner time. The person called upon, by the way, was a rather penurious old fellow. He was seated atl the table, en- joying bis dinwer. The visitor drew to the stove, looking very wishfully toward the table, expecting the old farmer to in- vite him to dine. The oid farmer kept on esting. “What's the news up your way,neigh- hort TUN eating. * No news, oh 1” “* No, I believe not.” Presently a the't struck the visitor. ** Well, yes, friend, 1 did hear of one item of mews that's worth mentioning.” * Ha, what is that 1 * Neighbor Jones bas a cow that has five calves.” “Js that so!

The Pennsulyvania Democracy. The New York Citizen, the well known Democratic weekly, formerly owned by ‘Miles O'Reilly,’, has ne spmpathy with the Pennsylvania Dem- ocracy,either in their platform or can- didates. It says: — “No condemnation of the rebellion against which the soldiers fought even though the soldiers were praised— the omission being an insult, If any reference to the subject were proper. No fitting expression in favor of echn-~ omy in public expenditures ; nothing, in fact, first or last, but the old negro question and general abuse of Repub- licans. The self-same grumbling with- out proposing an improvment; the same refusal to understand the altered position of the whole country, which has led to defest so frequently. The nemination of a man with nothing to recomend him but the faculty of heap ing up wealth, with no record worth mentiening.and nothing about him to arouse enthusissm but his money.’ Not the first sign of true loyalty, nor the least evidenee of a devotion to the best interests of the whole country. Under such circumstances we do not expect nor wish that the Democrats the | than ten yesrs ago | be le To | De- | Now be is dormant, no ocearion having arisen fo call out bis | They had, in | | should carry Pennsylvania. | “We do not wish this simply becanse | it would be a triumph of the Vallan- dighams,and the Pendletons, and the | old school that never learns and never forgets ; the former slave power toad- | ies, who imagined that slavery was 2 | thing of beauty and a joy forever, in- stead of being at best but a cruel ne- | cessity of the Constitution.

In 1860 Lincoln got 1,929 votes in Virginia. The white vete for Wells at the late election was at least 10,000. A significant advance.
