Judge Jones, at Mobile, addre-aing a rebel meeting, revived the Sutes rights theory, on which secession was founded. He said to the gathering: ■'On the issue of ihe contest before them l depended their all. Before the war the ! Southern people believt-d in State rights, they fought and spilled their blood lor State rights. Unfortunately for them, and per haps for the whole country, the result of i the war was a permanent extinguishment j of State rights, unless, under God's provi- I denee, the Democratic party, under the ; leadership of Seymourand Blair, re-esiabiish I the time-honored principles." Colonel Slaybach, of Mii-souri, agrees with this view, and says that the whole life of rebellion is assured in the Dvmoeratic platform: ' By the election of the Democratic ticket only could the noblest men who ever lived— the gallant sons of the South —gain what they had fought for without the sacrifice of : a single principle." General Lawton, of Georgia, eutertains the same opinion, and thinks, upon the whole, that the Democratic platform is a little stronger and better than the secesh declaration: "Now for the first time, we have a plat ! lor in of principles, and leaders arouud whom we could rally. It was the notlesr. j best, boldest declaration of principles ever laid down in the United States, and was in i unison with the feelings of the people | There was nothing that the South wanted that was not there. The military despotism which has held as in thraldom was there set in its proper light. For the first time | :we have a platform we can adhere to. We have work to do which can he accomplished. ; We have leaders to represent those prinei- Iples who will carry us out of the 'Slough of ! Despond.' Peace lias its victories as well: as war. Those great principles for which we fought, and which we feared were lost, j may yet be achieved. The pirate Semtnes is so charmed with Democratic declarations that even his seosi tive honor will admit a return to loyaity un der its operation. "I have given my allegiance to the old flag ; provided we can restore the old flag again te lle the representative of the principles of the Constitution, which we will be able to effect by the election of Seymour and Blair." This much for individuals. Larger space is demanded for the ptess, as its utterances are more frequest and more carefully stud j ied. The same tone is traceable here. The j Yicksburg Times bases the claims of Blair on the Broadhead letter, that Las been so explained and debated at the North, saying: "Objection is made down this way to the j endorsement of the Blair letter by a few timid people, on the score of prudence, and yet it was this identical letter of Frank Blair : to his friend. Colonel Broadhead, that se- 1 cured the Missouri hero the nomination for Vice President. We want just such ammu nition as Frank Blair uses." The St. Louis Times', tells Blair what bus words mean, and catches him on the boms of a dilemma. It finds that he must RSsist the rebels directly. "If Mr. Blair becomes President, and i swears to obey the Constitution, and fails I to overthrow the oligarchy established by Brownlow in Tennessee, Blair would be per jured. There is but one way to restore the j Government and the Constitution, and that is fur the President elect to declare the re construction acts null and void, compel the , army to undo its usurpations at the iSouth, disperse the carpet-bag State governments, allow the while people to reorganize their j own governments, .and elect Senators and Representatives." The Mississippi Mercury goes just a little j further and shows what is wanted there: ! "With the skull and cross bones of the 'lost cause' before us, we will swear (hat this is a white man's government. We must j make the negro understand we are the meo we were when we held him in abject bon dape. ami (cake him feel that when forbear ance ceases to be a virtue, he has aroused a power that will control him or destroy him." 1 The Richmond Enquirer shows how the want will be satisfied: "The white men of the Southern States have seen the day when they conld use the bullet, and if God in His anger permits the necessity to arise they will use it again." The St. Joseph (Mo.) Vindicator is in the same line: "Forty thousand able bodnHl fighting men in 'Free Misery' alone are sworn to do battle, if need be, for the right. And if Tom Fletcher, the felon, and his horde of outlaws resist, hell's ahead!" The West nrul South is sure that a Dem : ocratie victory will overthrow all of the na tional results of the war, and counts itself in for that end, saying: "From first to last —from the so-called anti slavery amendment of the Constitution to the flood of tra.-b for all purposes, mili- | tary, civil, financial and commercial —all the Reconstruction laws of the whole peace period fall to pieces, if the Democracy sue ceed in electing Mr. Seymour as their stan : dard beater. \Ve can take part in such a conflict. We believe, from the depths of : our understanding, that these acts of Con | gressional mi.-doing are all, one like the 'other, perfectly void." The Georgia Democratic Convention sees I ; that the Democratic platform removes ail : restraints upon rebel conduct. It says: "There might once have been a necessity I for the rebels of Georgia to submit to the military authorities, but there is non- now. The Democratic chivalry of the North are I marching to our rescue." And the Mobile Register thinks that the Democratic idea favors further war: "We know there are many Democrats at the North, includiog some distinguished | soldiers, who believe that the political at ; | mosphere, poisoned by the long reign of: Radical despotism, will not be so purified that liberty may flourish on it, until a just: chastisement is inflicted upon the daring men wh-> have conspired against the liber ; tits of the nation. In other words, that the counter-revolution will not be complete I without more blood letting." The Ultra h'u Khur , of Texas, believes j that a war of races, that is, an indiscrim inate killing of negro-es by whites, will come unless the poor whites are driven away. Most of these are of Northern des- | cent : "How shall we obviate a war of races? There is no way under the broad canopy of j heaven, without it ts driving from oar midst ; these low, mean white men. With them out of the country, the negroes and white . people could get along peaceably and quietly; , but if they are allowed to remain in onr midst, jus l : so sure we are bound to have a war of races, and when there is one drop of j blood spilt, we predict that it will flow as freely as does the Mississippi. The Ku Klux, like the society from which ; it is named, is highly elated at the possible election of Seymour and Blair. Hear what the Mobile Tribune says: "The great Democratic party will rise in its might and majesty, and pulverize and purge the Congress, just as Cromwell purged the long parliament. The rigns of the times are pregnant with resistance to Radical ; tyranny, and the dagger of Brutus may aid in accomplishing our redemption from Radical rule, ruin ni n n-orpation." Here endcth this Us-on. A summary of BEDFORD, PA., IWDAY. OCT. 2- IKGK. > the spirit of the whole shows that the rebels want a Democratic victory. As soon as it is gained, they propose to quit their • tranquil state. They will then reorganize j as rebels. They will defy national author ; ity! They will kilt the negroes. They : will drive out all northerners who hare settled among them. They will have a war of races, and possibly a southern Demo . eratip republic upon diplomatic terms with another in the North. But whatever they j ; may elect, to do. they will do as they please, j j and will do all they can to hurt the North SENATOR WILSON S SPEECH One of the greatest speeches which the campaign has yet produced was made by Senator Wilson at a large Republican meet- j ing held in Bangor, .Maine, on Wednesday, ; August 2ritb. S noe the whole speech is so ; excellent, ana so ~ ... to red. wo are ' : at a loss to determine where to make an ex tinct. However, as we cannot give the en tire speech, that occupied two hours in its delivery, we ask the attention of our read ers to the following passage: "I need dwell but briefly on what the j Republican party proposed to do. Its his tory, its platform and its candidates speak , ; to the full comprehension of the American people. To that history, to that platform | and to those candidates it points with con fidence and pride. It appeals, as ever, to ' the higher and better sentiments and im ' pulses of the Nation. It appeals to that ' comprehensive patriotism which embraces I the whole country and the people of the whole country, to that love of liberty which accords equal rights to all men, to that j sense of justice that gives equal protection i to the poor man's cabin and the rich man's j mansion, and to that humanity that lifts up the lowly and the weak. If success crowns its efforts, if the administration shall.be in structed to General Grant, with a House of Representatives to sustain that administra tion, the policy of reconstruction will be . perfected, the States will ail be speedily res tored to their practical relation to the general Government, equal rights will be assured and disabilities removed, the na tion's faith will be untarnished, its currency , and credit improved, and "Peace,"' in the language of Mr' Lincoln, "will come to stay." Then the blood poured out like au- j tumnal rains, will not have been shed in vain; for then united and free America, with liberty for all and justice to all, will enter upon a career of development, culture and progress that shall ensure a "future grand and great." No less significant and DO less pronounced are the history, the platform and the candidates of the Democratic par ty. Its history recalls no inspiring ideas, no ennobling deeds for patriotism, for liber ty, for justice and for humanity. But it does recall images of slavery—its shackles, its whips, its unrequited toils and its all pervading impurities—the slave power, its arrogant dominations and aggressive de mands, associated with humiliating fonoflc I i sions, compromises and apostacies to free , dotn; conspiracies, lawless rebellion, fields of : blood, taxation, debts, aod graves of the ; nation's dead. Its platform speaks of the , reconstruction acts as "revolutionary, un constitutional and void"—beneficent acts by ; which seven disorganized commonwealths i wee re-orgaoizrd on the basis of loyalty , and liberty, and re-tored to representation in Congress and to the blessings and benefits , of the Union. Its candidates arc pledged ' to "trample in the dust' those re organi zed and restored commonwealths, their ctm- , stitutions and laws, by which equal rights and privileges are accorded and secured to all. Those candidates arc also pledged for j , that unconstitutional, un-American and j wicked monstrosity, so alien in spirit and tone to the Declaration of Independence j and the utterance of the father's, "A White j Man's Government," in place of the con stitutional and American idea—a good guv- j eminent "of all, by all, for all." This rec- ; ord of fourteen years, this platform and these candidates, the wild, revolutionary ' and di-organizing utterances of Blair, ! Tombs, Cobb, and other Southern Demo- J craticleaders, speak, in language ncrson who engaged in shooting down negroes in the streets or bunting negro j school houses was a Democrat. Every person who burned up negro Chil- j dren in orphan asylums was a Democrat. Every officer in the army who was dismis sed for cowardice and disloyalty was a Dem ocrat. Every man who denounced Union soldiers as "Lincoln hirelings, ' was a Democrat. Every man who denounced greenbacks as "Lincoln skins" was a Democrat. Every man who asserted that ""Lincoln bayonets were shouldered for cold-blooded murder was a Democrat. * Every man who asserted that "our only; hope is in the successful resistance of the South" Wits a Democrat, Every man who, during the war. asserted that the republic was "Dying!

EQUAL TAXATION. The national democratic platform explic itly lays down a general rule for taxation, to take the place of the complicated system now enforced. It "demands," with all emphasis. '.'Equal taxation of every species of piop erty, according to its real value." This beautiful law of democratic fioance has not yet been fully elucidated. The orators of Tammany have not obeyed the orders of their chief candidate, and vigor ously pressed this subject of taxation. It is quite time they were about it; and if they continue to avoid it, the Republicans ought to accept Mr. Seymour's advice, and make this great democratic principle plain to everybody. It is not often that the party gives us such an explicit and intelligible declaration of its policy. The Republican party propose to obtain I the money by adjusting taxation so that it shall burden the people as little as possible. The democratic party propose to do away with all such adjustments, and levy "equal taxation upon every species of property, according to the real value." For example, the "real value" of a fancy sulky driven in the Central Park, and of a farmer's bay wagon in the country, may be about the ame Tne Republican party pre_ fcrs to lay a tax on the former and none on tbe latter; believing that the vehicle kept for the rich man's pleasure ought to pay rather than that kept for the laboring man's necessity. Tbe democratic party proposes to tax both equally. That beautiful chronometer repeater, with independent second-hand and stop, with which races are timed in Jerome Park, coats jdst about as much as an average Kansas or Minnesota farm. But the Republican Con- i gress have levied an enormous duty on the watch, equal to at least a good year's entire profits from the farm, and an annual pay ment besides; while they make the farm j free. The democratic party proposes to tax the fartn as much as the watch. The Axminster earpct in a luxurious { parlor is worth about as much as a goes! stone farm-house in New York or Illinois. The Republican party would maintain tfie ' I law wVick taxes licantt/ rich man's | tapestry and leaves tbe workingmatj's dwell'o# free. The democratic party pro poses to tax both equally. A cigar of average quality costs the con sutner about as much as a common loaf of | bread. A bottle of choice old Madeira wine, such as some leading democrats of this city give their guests, is worth as much as a barrel of flour. The Republican party in | Congress have voted to tax the wine and cigars very heavily indeed; but have refused to tax the flour and the bread. The demo- I era tie party proposes to tax equally "every species of property, according to its real vaiuc." If flour be taxed like old Maderia, and bread like cigars, the loaf that is now ten cents cannot be sold for less then twenty five. There are rich men who have incomes of scores and hundreds of thousands of dollar?. There are poor men who find it difficult, above their house rent, to get one thousand dollars of ready money for their families. The laws for which the Republican party is responsible, tax the large incomes five per cent., but do not tax the small ones at all. j The democratic party "demands" the abolition of this distinction: which will take fifty dollars from theoDe thousand necessary to support many a laborer's family. Every man who has access to the laws can supply scores of further illustrations for him self. Which principle of taxation do the voters of the country prefer? Tbat of the Republican party, to tax those kinds of property which will bear it best; or, that of the democratic party, to tax equally "every species of property, according to its real value."? —77ie Evening Putt. Now AND THEN. —Frank Blair was an ' original confiscationist. Immediately after the close of the war Frank Blair made a speech to his soldiers, and here is an extract front it: "Your service demands a better recogni tion at the hands of the country you have aided to preserve than mere words of ap plause. The Romans made their conquer ing soldiers freeholders in the lands tfuy had i. .mrjtx'mf, au't a- ujroo your return to your j homes you will find most of the occupations and employments filled by adepts from civil life: and as the Government has va=t tracks of vacant lands, which will be increased by the trar, the interests of the country and your own will concur in the apportionment of these Lands to your use and occupancy, es tablishing a citizen soldiery to maintain in terna! peace and set foreign foes at defiance." THAT ANNUAL REDUCTION OFTHE STATE DEPT.—There are two sublime results before which the Democracy are now utterly dumb founded. One is the election in Vermont, which overwhelms the conservative with some thing like the effect produced by Unioo victories during the war. The other is the fact that while John F. Hartranft bas been Auditor General, the State debt has been reduced at the rate almost of a mil lion and a half annually. There is no es cape from such results. The Democracy I may iterate and reiterate charges of mis management against the Republican party, but figures show tbat the debt of Pennsyl vania has been annually reduced $1,344,092 14. This is historical. It is part of the j official record. Why don't tbe Democracy j give the figures in the Vermont election, as well as those showing the annual reduction of the State debt? THE BLACKS TO THE WHITES—The ad dress of the negroes of South-Carolina to their white fellow citizens is very significant. The point of this address is in the following j sentence: "And if we are to be massacred because we refuse to vote the Democratic ticket; if we are to be murdered in cold blood because we will not sell our manhood, then let it come —we can die but once, and if, as you state, thirty millions of white men are going to fall upon four millions because they are black, and will not vote for Horatio Seymour and F. P. Blair for President and Vice-President of the United States, both of whom have declared ibat the negroes have no right to vote, then tee are prejmred to die, but not to tote to be killed." We do not think logic could be stronger than this. A PRETTY good story is told of a Western man who, stopping in Boston for a day, bought a cigar after dinner, and sauntered oat for a walk. Soon a policeman tapped him on the shoulder, and notified him that be had incurred a fine of two dollars for smoking in the street. The stranger broke a V and paid the penalty. Shortly after, a child who wanted a "penny" to buy a loaf of bread, and hadn't had any breakfast or dinner, moved his Western generosity, and he bestowed a remnant of gingerbread upon the hungry one. Thereupon a second offi cer approached and informed him that he had violated another ordinance of the city, with a two dollar fine. The Hoosier hand ed out the three dollar hill. The officer presented him the change. He shook his head: "Keep the whole —I shall want to whistle presently." A SHILLING FACE.—Which will you do —smile, and make yoar household happy, or be crabbed, and make all around you gloomy and miserable? The amount of happiness vou ean produce is incalculable, if you show a smiling face, a kind heart, and speak pleasant words. Wear a plea sant coUDtenanoe; let the joy beam in your eyes, and love glow on your forehead. There is no joy like that which springs from a kind act or a pleasant deed; and you will feel it at night when you lie down to rest, at morning when you rise, and through the day when at your 1 usine.-s.

Henry Ward Botcher preached a power ful sermon on a recent Sunday evening, on the text "Thou shalt not steal," In the courts of his remarks lie attacked the Pen diet on proposition, which the Copperhead party Iras since deliberately adopted as the main plank in its platform, with his sharp •-1 rhetoric. He said: I regard the refusal to pay the bonds of the e I 'nited States in gold or silver as being in very di-irurse and under every possible idea, an atrocious theft; and I pronounce thai man. either by mistake or intentionally, a thief who docs it, or attempts to procure the doing of it.

But. while men in the nation's hour of extremity and perii ' ut i heir aid, it is now proposed that wo shall pick their pockets and steal from them. It i- a thing for which there were no titles ni'iu.-T us enough. It is a thing that every man who has a conscience or a partieule of honor ought to hiss at and spew at. It is a shame that the Church —that is so loud against dancing and card playing—has not a word to ly against national robbery, nation al disbousr and national dishonesty. A WOMAN'S FRIENDSHIP. —lt is a won drous advantage to a man, in every pursuit or vocation, to secure an adviser in a sensi ble woman. In woman there is at once a * -übtle delicai-v of tact and a plain soundness of judgment which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man A woman, if she IK; really your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor and repute. .She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing, for a woman-friend always desires to bo proud of you. At the same time, her constitutional timidity makes her more cau tious than your male friend. She, there fore. seldom counsels you to do an impru den; thing. A man s best female friend is a wife of go 1 sense-and heart, whom be love- and who loves him. But, supposing the man to be without sueh a helpmate, fe male friendship he must still have, or his intellect will be without a garden, and there will be many an unheeded gap even in its strongest fence. Better and safer, of course, such friendship whore disparities of years or circumstances put the idea cf love out of the juestioa. We may have female friendships with those much older, and those much younger than ourselves. Fe male friendship is to a man the bulwark. cwC'h nCT, ni tiMBCUt of fais CCklStt'llCC. PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. —'fhe S'ln Francisco Bulletin , of Aug. 20, says: "The Centra! Pacific Railroad is com pleted to a point 26S miles east of Sacra mento. and nearly 400 miles from San Fran cisco. On the 19th inst., over six miles of track were laid. This beats the best work ever done on tbe Union Pacific, and we are promised that seven miles shall be laid in one day, if necessary to keep the palm for the California company. Probably at least ieht or ten miles of track per day is now being regularly laid by the two companies. Eight days ago, about 717 miles remained to be built between the termini of the Cen tra! ar.. Union Pacific. If only six miles of track per day has been laid, this distance is reduced to 669 miles.'' At this rate of track-laying, only 557 miles of staging are necessary to day. It is safe to assume that there wili be at least 30 additional working days before Winter sets ID; and these will give 240 miles additional of completed track, learinu only 317 miles to be laid next season. Difficult as it is to comprehend the great fact, there seems to be scarcely a doubt that by the 4th of July next the journey from New York to San Francisco may be made entirely by rail. BE AMIABLE TO ALL. —Always grant gracefully what you cannot safely refuse. That is wisdom, as Captain Edward Cuttle would say; and as it is jast as well to learn wisdom from the experience of others as to require it beaten into one's brains and mem ory with the marlinspike of affliction. It is one of the most difficult of all things to put on a smiling face when you are submit ting to all the twinges of a colic, and it is just as difficult to grasp affectionately the hand that you know would like to grasp your throat, and to say:— "'Pon my honor, I am glad to meet you." to an individual you wish in your heart was cn route to Tophet. But, it must be done sometimes; and when it must, why, doit gracefully. Do it, as the boys say : "up to the handle," and what you express. Get rid of all your little animosities: discard them as wicked and unprofitable. It "pays better to be amiable to every one. it "pays' in a moral sense as well as a pecuni ary one. PRACTICAL EDUCATION. Education should consist much more than it does in learning to dc, to act, to perform. The successful men of the world are those who can accomplish the ends of life, who can by their own energy and skill bring about grand and useful results. Our educational institutions make us learned, cultured, but not sufficiently actors. One reason why very often the young men who Lave but little education for the schools surpass those who have lived for years in college walls is because they have been trained to action. Action gives health and strength. Culture gives ease, grace and finish. They belong together, but have been separated. Let them be brought once more into some grand scheme of education, and we shall have men and women as the result who can not only accomplish noble work, but have at the same time fine scholars, with cultivated manners, with grace and dignity of demean- , or.— Herald of Health.
