WHO SHALL XVLET
Whether Geary or Packer should be Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, under ordinary cir
cumstances might be a matter of little mo
ment ; though it were a lasting disgrace to
ignore the sterling integrity and devoted
patriotism of Geary for one who turned his
back upon his country in the hour of her
peril. But leaving the personal merits of
the candidates out of the question, great
principles are at stake, and the respective
standard bearers represent those principles.
The very first resolution of the copperhead
platform is rebellious and if carried out sub
versive of law and order. The platform de
clares itself opposed to the Constitutional
Amendment and denies the power of Con
gress to enforce it. The passage of the fif
teenth amendment is about as certain as
anything can be. Now let us see what
would be the result of the carrying out of
the copperhead platform in case Packer
should be elected. When the amendment
has once been adopted, as it will be during
the coming year, we would at ODce have :he
Governor of Pennsylvania and the whole
copperhead party inaugurating a new rebel
lion against the Con.-titutional power and
authority of Congress. They are the same
men who aided and abetted the rebels in
arms, their candidate was the friend of the
infamous traitor Vallandigham. their lead
ers, many of them, fought in the rebel ranks,
and many others were only kept away by
want of courage, their principles are un
changed, their record is rebellions and trea
sonable and they are utterly unfit to be
trusted with power. Even with peace firm
ly established and all the troubles of the
Sonth quieted, and the wounds of the war
healed, it would be highly injudicious to en
trust such a party with power, but with the
question of reconstruction still unsettled and
the South barely yet become safe it would
be suicidal to allow such an organization to
obtain control of our State.. Until every
Southern State is ruled by a regular and
stable government and the Constitutional
amendment passed and enforced in spite of
copperhead protests, the work of the Re
publican party is unfinished and it must not
give up the ship of State. The vital princi
ples at stake in the rebellion are still at is
sue until such productions as the Ilarris
burg platform beeome impossible and the
organisation that produced it has ceased to
exist. The people cannot and will not con
sen: to have an*" earty to rule over them
that cannot cut ioo;c trou the worn out, ef
fete and exploded doctrines of the times be
fore the rebellion, and that * ill not learn that
we have entered upon an era of freedom.
The present is an age of progress end the
party that ignores every movement for the
elevation and amelioration of the human
race is an enemy not only to our own conn
try but to the rao . Thus much even the
late rebels of the South have learned and
accepted, i hey acknowledge the Constitu
tion of the I nited States and all amend
ments and laws passed in accordance there
with, but their former allies are still groping
in the darkness and pitting themselves
against the inevitable. No amount of
wealth in their candidate can atone for his
luck of patriotism, nor can any amount of
hypocritical profession of venerauon for the
( onstitution, desire ot economy or love for
the soldier, blind the eves of the people to
their lack of honesty, humanity or patriot
ism. Governor Geary is the standard bear
er of the party that has stricken the shackles
from the slave, delivered the countrv from
the tyrranny of a purseproud aiictocracy
and placed her first among the nations of the
earth No true patriot can hesitate as to his
duty. The destines of our State cannot be
handed over to the fossils of a past age.
Geary, the gallant soldier, the upright
Statesman and faithful Governor, must and
will be re-elected.
A NEW plan has been adopted by the
i ackerites in Philadelphia for getting rid of
their disreputable candidates. As Packer
is rich it is proposed to buy the pestiferous
follow.- off the track. The only trouble we
sec in the matter is that the whole pack are
disreputable and if they are bought off there
will l>e no candidates left, while if they at
tempt to set up new opes they will not likely
be any better than the old. Truly their
plight is a pitiable one, but they deserve it.
1 acker has surely got a pack of trouble with
his nominations. His gold has brought the
vultures around him thick as flies and buy
ing off one set will only make room for
another and more hungry crew to make an
onslangi. upon his purse. Poor Packer.
HEAVY REPUBLICAN GAIN IN KENTUCKY.
The copperheads have made a great boast
of their victory in Kentucky, but it will not
icar a c,ose examination. Last year when
'•rant swept the whole country Kentucky
gave a rebel majority of {58,678 on the State
ticket. I his year the highest they claim at
present is 65,000 showing a clear Republi
can gain of 23,678. If copperheads feel jnbi
aat over a Republican gain on one third of
their enormous majority of last year, and
that at a time when there is no Presidential
election to keep down their vote, we surely
have no cause to complain. At the same
rate or gain Kentucky will give a Republi
can majority in 1872.
I HF. Tennessee election which came off
on Thursday, the sth instant, resulted
w a conservative victory. Senter is
reported elected by 40,000 or 50,000
majority. The Legislature will also be
argely conservative. Senter claims to be a
conservative Republican of the Walker type.
The bad feature of his case is that he re
ceived all the rebel and Copperhead votes.
Kven Andy Johnson favored him, which is
calculated to damage any man's character
for republicanism.
The nomination of Pershing as a candi
date for Judge of the Supreme Court is one
of the most unpardonable bluoders ever
committed by a political party.' Ali parties
concede that candidates for the Supreme
bench ought to be selected because of their
fitness, l'ershing is but a fourth rate law
yer and his only merit even in copperhead
eyes is his bitter partisanship. If he were
elected be would utterly be unfit for the po
sition. A bitter partisan and devoid of the
legal attainments required for the office his
election would be a lasting disgrace to the
State.
GENERAL ROSECRANS has declined the
dubious honor of a nomination as Copper
head candidate for Governor of Ohio.
Soldiers have an inherent dislike to such
associations. Rosecrans has certainly acted
very sensibly in refusing the nomination.
He has always fought on the right side and
come off victorious; if he had accepted this
Ohio Copperhead nomination he would
have been doomed to an ignominous defeat
in which he would have received no sympa
thy from his former companions in arms.
The cops must seek some one else for a fig
ure head UDtil October.
IN Ohio the Copperheads have in their
platform declared war against all Protection
to American Industry. The Copperheads
of Pennsylvania advocate the same doctrine,
but did not dare to put it in their platform.
Packer and his party have no interest in the
laboring man except to get his vote, and will
do all tbey can io reduce his wages to the
standard of foreign paupers, by the adop
tion of a british free trade policy the mo
ment they have the power. Trust them
Es'OLAND for once agrees to our acquisi
tion of territory. She is very positive that
Spain ought to give up Cuba and that the
United States ought to possess it. For
onee we are told we are heartily welcome.
But it is hinted that Spain will be lucky if
she gets twenty millions for it. We are op
posed to paying twenty dollars for it. We
have debt enough now and if Cuba is only
let alone she will come without being bought.
Nary red.
IT is said the (Ihio Copperheads have lost
faith in the virtue of soldier candidates to
leal their forlorn hosts. They are deter
mined to take a full-blooded rebel of the
Valltndigham or Pendleton stripe next
time. Why don't they try a rebel General,
assume a bold front and come out in their
true colors; it would at least have the virtue
of candor.
THE copperhead platform in Pennsylva
nia is money, not principles. The candi
date of the party is a true representative of
the party platform. He proposes to buy
votes enough to elect him. He has plenty
of money but unfortunately the purchasable
material is all in his own party already and
it is in a hopeless minority. Good bye
Packer.
NASBY is reported to have started out a
short time ago to canvass for the Democra
cy, but in passing from one State to anoth
er, he found that no two platforms advocated
the same measures and in view of the great
difficulty of reconciling the various plat
forms he has retired from the field in dis
gu.-t.
GENERAL ROSECRANS has outflanked the
enemy once more. Ilis declination of the
nomination for Governor of Ohio at their
hands looks very much as if he did not like
their company. He seems to have no taste
for leading the party now, that he was
obliged to fight during the war.
PENNSYLVANIA® never has had a carpet
bagger for Governor, nor will she have one
now. If Packer packed all the way from
Connecticut to hunt office he can pack back
again. We have a genuine l'ennsylvanian
on the track and a soldier who fought for
her in her hour of peril. The soldiers and
sailors must be gratefully remembered.
THE news from the Alabama election
comes iu slowly. Latest reports give four
Republican and one Democratic member of
Congress without any figures to indicate
probable majorities.
THE Republican Convention of Fulton
county on Monday nominated J. B. Cessna
Esq., as their candidate for State Senator
subject to the decision of the District Con
ference.
THE estimated reduction of the public
debt for the current month is ten millions,
besides a couple millions set aside for the
sinking fund.

PUBLIC OPINION is the title of a new pa

31. A. Foltz. It is a neat six column sheet
and supports Republican principles.
Mhat Five Mouths Have Hone.
Let us enumerate some of the results of
the brief five months of President Grant s
administration, which may be cited to the
public in response to the charge that the
public service is neglected.
We weje told in October last by the same
oracles that now find itsodifficult, in speak
ing ot the President, to respect the ordina
ry proprieties of social life, that there would
be a dcficiencp in our revenues for the fis
eal year just closed of one hundred and fifty
four millions of dollars. That is what they
regarded as the best prospect the future
had to offer us financially nine months ago.
Now, what has this idle, cigar-smoking,
horse-jockey of a President accomplished
during the brief five months that he has had
such control of the Government as Congress
accorded to him?
By a greater care in the selection of trust
worthy agents, and by a vigorous enforce
ment of the law, the revenues have so rap
idly increased that the direct debt of the
government has already, since his inaugu
ration, been reduced between forty-three
and lorty-fcur millions of dollars. The rev
enues from whisky and tobacco alone have
more than doubled. A reduction of the
army from forty regiments to twenty-five is
to result in a further saving of many mil
lions.
The effects of the new policy of the gov
ernment toward the Indians cannot now be
appreciated, but enough is already known
to make a further economy in that direction
that most be estimated by millions. Oar
ledeial securitios are worth to day at least
$250,000,000 more tnan they were worth
the day our President was inaugurated, and
are advancing at the rate of ton or fifteen
millions a week. There is no doubt of our
ability to fund the entire national debt with
in a year at a rate of interest not exceeding
four and a half per cent. We are sure of a
surplus at the end of the current fiscal year
of from $125,003,000 to $150,000,000, and
it is no longer a question that our revenues
will justify a large reduction of our taxes.—

Scotland Unsettled—llill* and Valleys
Quivering.
You are not to indulge by this heading
that the ancient Kingdom of Scotia is once
more about to renew those famous old bor
der feuds for which this country wi - un
pleasautly remarkable in the days of yore.
True, Scotland is very unsettled in the mat
ter of its religious tenets, but I do not refer
even to that. The contrary winds of op; us
ing doctrines do now and again cause a very
di'turbed condition of the polemical atmos
phere, hut storms are generally succeeded by
a calm.
I have hope for Scotland yet, asyuu shall
see further on in this correspondence.
Neither do I refer to the unsettled condi
tion of Scotland in the matter of its philo so
phy, for nothing conld be more unsettled
for many years past. Every cobbler and
weaver in the country is a "rut taphysieian,"
who does not care a snap of his linger for
all the John Stuart Mills from John <)'-
Greats to the Tweed. Those geniuses ad
mire Professor Blackic, of the Edinburgh
I niversity, because he is difficult to be un
derstood. Thutis the great secret of Scotch
men's likes and dislikes. To be easily un
derstood is a crime, a vulgar thing, and nu
offence neither to be forgotten nor forgiven.
The unsettled condition of Scotland is not
aseribable to any of these things, but to a
return of gentle earthquakes. On Wedcc
day last we had something like a general
shiver over all the kingdom ; "a quaking'
o' fear that was na unco guid for that folk
that possess uneasy consciences," as it was
termed. The village of Cambric and neigh
borhood felt the trcniGr of the earth especi
ally. The affrighted inhabitants compared
it to the noise of a railway train, or distant
thunder. No particular damage was done,
further than frightening the old folks out of
their senses.
_ Several slight shocks have been felt every
night since Wednesday last. lam bound to
believe it, for what everybody says must be
true ; but I confess I felt none of them. It
may be that I am impervious to such freaks
ot nature, belonging, probably, to the
pachydermatous tribe of animals. The
shocks proceeded from the south-west (o the
north-east. Slight shocks are now being
experienced in the same direction mostly
every year in the month of July.
Tbe Situation in Spain.
Cable dispatches from Madrid are not so
reassuring as they once were regarding the
j final sueeess of the pte;,cnt revolutionary
movement. We cannot refuse to admit that
the party now in power have worked wen
ders. They have accomplished a great
| revolution, and, for the first time during one
hundred years, a Spanish revolution h;ts
been attempted and accomplished without
immediate anarchy. Those who remember
the revolution of 1 SI 2, and the anarchy that
followed, making the return of the King a
seeming blessing, tbe revolution of 1820,
the anarehv tLat followed, making the oc
cupation of the country by the French un
der the Duke d'Aneouleme, seem a happy
deliverance, and the later revolution tinder
the Carlists, which, though it cost Spain
much blood and treasure, was yet a signal
failure, cannot deny the present revolution
has been wonderfully successful. For a
little while it did seem as if the success were
complete. We have no reason to say that
there are any signs that indicate immediate
failure. Serrano and his colleagues seem
to hold the reins with firm hands. But this
Carlist rising, although it has not yet had
any marked success, somewhat blurs the
perspective. It is notorious that tbe Church
is with Don Carlos, and that his return is
earnestly prayed for by all those who go in
for the divine right of kings. The will of
Ferdinand VII. has been winked at by
Prim, but it has never been formally sanc
tioned. When we take into consideration
the financial condition of Spain, which is as
bad as it well can be, a Carlist may yet
plunge Spain into the wildest anarchy and
leave it open to Napoleon to play the part
which was played by the Iloly Alliance in
1823, and to restore Isabella to her throne.
We have no great faith in the Carlists, but
we dread anarchy and we cannot conceal
from ourselves the fact that if the Carli-t-,
are at all successful anarchy is certain. We
wish well to Spain ; but it is because we
wish well to her that we cannot call the
present state of things satisfactory or the
immediate future hopeful.
Life at Long Branch.
Burleigh, the correspondent of the Bos
ton Journal, thus describes this watering
place, and compares it with Capo May,
Newport, and other noted popular resorts.
The whole soil of New Jersy, from where j
you take the train to Long Branch is powder
and dust, and the ride in the cars is perfectly
suffocating. There is .nothing in Long
Brauch itself that is attractive. It stretches
along the main road for about a mile; the
hotels on one side, the ocean on the other.
The sun beats down on the glassy surface of
the sea at noon, and the heat is intolerable.
The hotels are built long and shambling,
in the cheapest and flashiest style of sum
mer resorts. The soil is the red Jersey soil.
The main road in front of the hotels is kept
watered and so is tolerable. But the drives
off this road are amidst clouds of dust that
destroy all comforts of riding.
There are none of the attractions at the
Branch which make Saratoga, or Newport,
Swampscott, or the watering places ol New
England. It is a fast place, full of fast
people. The foreign element is very large.
The Germans are numerous and some of the
hotels are completely monopolized by Jewish
families. There is none of that indescribable
style and make up which is discernable at
the Springs and is so marked a feature and
gives such a charm to the society at New
port. There is none of the family and home
feeling which is seen at the New England
watering places nor is there any of that
Perisiau gayety which marks the company
at Cape May.
The company at the Branch is a com
pany fond of boating, sailing, fast driving;
it is rough, hearty, boisterous; sporting men,
men of the fancy, who, with their attend
ants, late supper.s and convivial habits, gite
the place a peculiar air. Families who go
to the country lor quiet, who wish to lay off
and unbend, live by them-elves and have a
cozy time, give the beach a wide Iterth.
The season is very short, and the visit by
the President will make it a merry one by
the unusual crowd and the class of persons
drawn to the Branch.
A New Dilemma.
Does Asa Packer own any United States
bonds, or did he ever do so ?
This is the latest dilemma of the unfortu
nate Democracy.
If he does or did, then he is a bloated
bondholder, to borrow the elegant language
of the leading Democratic journals.
If he does not, or never did, then he re
fused to aid the Government in the hour
ot its peril in the only way he could aid it.
If his millions, like a Democrat's doubts,
have always been cast against his country,
they are not to his credit. If, on the other
hand, his money is invested in the tax-ex
empted bonds of the Govornment, then he
has been violating the first principles of the
gospel of modem Democracy after Brick
Pomeroy.
-On which horn of the dilemma does Mr.
,' lan £ ■ Can his "next friend" in
1 hdadelphia tell us ?

. A DEMOCRATIC country journal, not sat
isfied with the plethoric purse of Packer,
proposes to issue tweDtj-five cent certifi
cates to raise money for the campaign Is
it aware that a very large number of Demo
cratic certificates of all denominations arc
now out and unpaid ? They are popularly
known as (_ onfederute bonds and currency.
They can bo had cheap in Virginia and Mi -
sississippi, and, if set in circulation again
I ennsylvanin, would auswer admirably for
the purpose wanted.
BEFORE tho nomination of Packer, the
editor of the Se!io.grove Timu, a radical
Democratic paj er, wrote ai follows ;
"This day the Democratic State con
vection assembles at Harrisburg to make a
nomination for Governor. Gen. Geo. W.
Cass has the ioside track, but a large ring
of demagogues who go there uninstructed
as delegates will try and cheat him out of
the nomination. They are for the man, and
that man may be any man who proutiscs
them the most money. These men generally
favor Packer, because he is very wealthy,
and they expect to make him come down
with the 'dust.* It is by no means his good
qualities they are after."
We have not learned what the editors'
sentiments are now Doubtless he goes
with the crowd for Packer and bis 'duot.'
! A SOUTHERN paper thus acknowledges a
| specimen of female cotton raising : "Miss
1 Ariana Livingston, of 3ladison, Florida,
who, to her many personal charms, has
added the skill of a successful agriculturist,
has sent us a specimen of her cotton crop, a
goodly portion of which is now opened and
opening. The variety is 'Dickson's Select,'
and though upland could hardly be distin
guished, in staple and general appearance,
from a good article of sea island. Miss L.,
we learn, has a small but very fine crop,
equal to the best of her neighbors. Wo
bespeak for her good seasons and exemp
tions from rust and eatterpillar, and when
her crop shall be gathered just anything else
ber heart may desire.
THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. —Five
more ratifications are required. Walker
pledges Virginia, Vermont is certain, lthode
Islarfd is waiting lor the S prague imbroglio
to settle, Tennessee depends upon the elec
tion about to take place, the Republicans
of Mississippi pledge that State. The
ratification of Ohio will depend upon the
result of the pending canvass, and Texas
will probably come into the Union on con
dition of ratifying this amendment. That
it will become a part of the Constitution
seems, therefore, to be certaiD.
WHEN the war commenced -John \V.
Geary took his oldest sen and went into the
Union army to fight for the old flag. He
fought through the whole struggle, and was
severely wounded. His son was killed.
Asa Packer when the war broke mtopftosed
the coercion of the Rebels ani went to
Europe ! He continued a Peace Democrat
to the end, and supported Andy Johnson's
Reconstruction Policy. The Relcl element,
led by Brick Pomeroy, was uppermost, at
the Harrisburg Convention, and in Asa
Packer found a candidate in thorough ac
cord with its views.
TRISH CROPS.—The reports from all parts
of Ireland asto the state of theerops are
highly encouraging. The generd appear
a nee of things has been greatly improved in
the North by recent rain. In the South
rain is wanted, but wheat generally looks
well. Potatoes are good. Turnips prom
ise a fair return. The Irish harvest is not
likely to be a very early one, but great
hopes are entertained that it will prove a
fuli average.
Or the political state of affairs ir. Penn
sylvania, the New York Comm>rti'al AJctr
ti r says :
Packer has nothing to recommend him
but his bank account. He is old, infirm,
and past bis usefulne-s. Governor Geary,
the Republican candidate has served the
country as a statesman and a soldier. lie
is energetic and progressive. The issue in
the canvass in Pennsylvania will be dollars,
age, and imbecility, against brains patriot
ism, and activity.
EMIGRATION.—The emigrants to the
United States that have arrived at Castle
Garden, New York, from Januafy Ist to
August 4th. 1869, amounted to 1C5,064
against 12.3,075 during the same period in
1868 —an increa-e of 24,186. The receipts
of the Commissioners of Emigration, inclu
ding the balance in bank on January Ist,
amounted on August 4th to $587,050, and
the disbursements to $318,623, showing a
balance in hand of $2.88,427.

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for July
completes the hundred and eighth volume ot
this unrivalled American Xteview. Its con
tents are : Hereditary Insanity: A Chapter on
Erie; The Religion of Ancient Greece: The
Poverty of England ; Open Air Grape Cul
ture .- Hungary and Roumaoia : The Laws of
History; Volcanoes and Critical Notices.
A Chapter on Erie by Charles Francis
Adams, jr., is perhaps the most striking
article in the number. It recites faithfully and
at considerable length the history of the Erie
Railroad controversy. It is a sad commen
tary on the morals of Railroad Oficers and
New York Judges and is calculated to make
one stop and ask, where shall thsse things
stop? Freebooters and pirates once skulked
upon the high seas and challenged admira
tion by their daring, but when caight they
paid the penalty of their crimes with their
lives. Public sentiment demandel prompt
and vigorous punishment. To day men strut
upon our streets, sit in our courts, are busy
in the great marts of commerce and control
great railroads, beside whose crimes the
exploits and crimes of Dick Turpin and
Captain Kidd are but as child's play. Yet a
community like New York City submits to be
robbed with impunity. Such men as Drew,
Vanderbilt and Fisi are daily guilty of deeds
that would disgrace the lowest gambling hell,
but their gold enables them to go scot free
where smaller thieves would find their way to
the Tombs. After reciting the sickening tale
be closes as follows :
Comment wonld only weaken the force of
this narrative. It sufficiently suggestj its
own moral. The facts which have beet set
forth cannot but have revealed to every cb-
Bcrvant eye the deep decay which has eaten
into every part ot our social edifice. No por
tion of our system was left untested, ar d no
portion showed itself to be sound. The stock
exchange revealed itself as a haunt of gamb
lers and a den of thieves ; the offices of onr
great corporations appeared as the secret
chambers in which trustees plotted the spoli
ation ol their wards; the law become a ready
engine for the furtherancs of wrong, and the
ermine of the judge did not conceal the
eagerness of the partisan ; the halls of legisla
tion were transformed into a mart in which
the price of votes was higgled over, and laws,
made to otder, were bought and sold ; while
under all, and through all, the voice of pub
lic opiniou was silent or was disregarded.
It is not, howeveb, in connection with the
present that all this has its chief significance.
It speaks ominously for the future. It may
be that our society is only pasting through a
period of ugly transition, but the present evil
has its root deep down in the social organi
zation, and springs from a diseased public
opinion. Failure seems to be regarded as
the one unpardonable crime, success as the
all-redeeming virtue, the acquisition of wealth
as the single worthy aim of life. Ten years
ago such revelations as these of the Erin
Railway affairs would have sent a shudder
through the community, and would have
placed a stigma on every man who had had
to do with them. Now they merely incite
others to surpass them by vet bolder outrages
and more corrupt combination!!.
Any person desiring to know the depth of
moral degradation to which our money kings
have fallen, and the lamentable lethargy of
the public morals would do well to give this
article a careful reading. Wit cannot help
congratulating the North American upon the
frankness and boldness with which it has
taken up the discussion of this class of ques
tions. The country sadly needs many more
journals of the same kind. The North Arocri*

has been on our table for several days. The
present number completes the 100 th and
marks a quarter of a century since the Re
view originated in the advocacy of a princi
ple which has just won a signal victory in the
passage of the Irish Church Bill. The edi
tors take the opportunity, in a note appended
to this number, of congratulating themselves
and the renders of the Review on the occa
sion of the triumph of a principle so long
and ably advocated in its pages. The first
article is un able review of Dr. Ilamia's Life
of Christ, a work which combats Renau's cel
ebrated book. The remaiuing articles in this
number are Henry Crabb Robinson's Diary ;
History of European Morals; Geological
Time; Danish Literature; Ludwig Holberg;
Memoir of Sir William Hamilton; The "early
History of Man ; Walter Savage Latidor; The
Irish Church Measure. Terms for the Re
view, $4.00. For Blackwood and any one
Review $7. For the four Reviews sl2. For

LOVE AND LIBERTY, by Alex Dumas, tho
great French author, is in press, and will be
published in a few days, by T. B. Peferaon &
Brothers, Philadelphia. Anything that Du
mas writes is entertaining, and it will com
mand a very large sale, being a narrative of
the French Revolution of 1892, the interest
is intense from the first page to the last. The
price is only $1.75, bound in cloth. The fol
lowing new books arc having immense sales,
and should be read by pit: Mrs. Southworth's
"Bride's Fate." "Changed Brides." "How
He Won Her," and "Fair Play." Mrs.
Stephens,' "Curse of Gold," "Mabel's Mis
take," anil "Doubly False." "The Woman
in Red," and "The Breitmann's Ballads" in
one cloth volume with a glossarv.
POLITICAL ITEMS.
THE Hon. James M. Kavauaugh, Detn.,
has been re elected delegate to Congress from
the Territory of Montana.
THE Atlanta New Era strongly urges that
the expelled negro members of the Georgia
Legislature be restored to their seats.
A WILMINGTON, N. C., dispatch states that
Eegles, (colored), was elected to the Legisla
ture on the sth inst., by 400 majority.
THE new Democratic war cry—millions for
party votes; not one cent to pay off the
national debt.
THE Democrats have little to say this year
about the "Yank Williams," since Packer is
from the sane Yankee State.
WHEN Democracy was in power it stole
the nation's money; when it was out of power
it tried to steal the nation's life.
ROBERT ROBINSON is the Republacan can
date for District-Judge of tbe Ylth District
of California, composed of the counties of
Sacramento and Yolo.
PACKER'S joy now is Mutch-fcr, his right
hand man during the campaign. Ilis joy will
be much less, when the costs are counted a
few weeks hence.
IF Asa Packer is the "poor man's can
didate" because he has $:.'0,000,000, how
much more does he need to be the "rich
man's candidate?"
WHEN tbe Democracy discover that the
money-bags of Packer have failed to corrupt
the majorities of Pennsylvania, the unfortu
nate millionaire will become an offense in
their nostrils—a sort of political Aea-ftrlida.
THE SIXTEEN GOVERNORS of Pennsylvania
have all been natives of tbe Commonwealth.
Tbe opposition now wants us to try a "Con
necticut carpet-bagger." No, thank you!
The old Pennsylvania stock will do us just as
well. And so say we all!
WE have not yet seen complete official re
turn** of Aw )4ton for Cji CWUtoa > u Vie
giuia : but it appears now that Mr. R. S.
Ayer (Wells Repnblican) ha 3 been elected in
the Ist District, instead of D. M. Norton
(lud. Republican, colored), as heretofore re
ported.
A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch of Aug. 6, says:
'"Efforts are being made to organize a Peo
ple's party in this city, to nominate a ticket
for city and county offices. Reform is de
manded. and it is deemed necessary to take
the offices of the city out of the hands of the
politicians."
THAT Packer Corruption Fund has a power
ful fascination for all the opposition editors.
They can't think, talk or write about anything
else but money. With money-bags for their
candidate, they may be expected to harp
upon that single string as long as the cash
holds out.
Gov. HOFFMAN, of New York, refuses to
surrender pick-pSfcket thieves for trial in this
State. Suppose he wants to keep all such
chaps in hia State to re-elect him uext time.
Like Judge Sharswood of our State, he holds
his office by fraud, and both appear to be
aiders and abettors of crime.
Drtuxo the war the Hon. C. L. Valland
igham, the noted rebel from Ohio, was the in
vited guest ol Hon. Asa Packer, Democratic
candidate for Governor, at his residence in
Mauch Chunk. Soldiers of the republic, and
loyal citizens, remember the old adage,
"Show me your company, and I'll tell you
who you are."
QUESTION for young Democrats in Pennsyl
vania: How did the candidate for Governor
begin life? As a Packer. When did lie do
his first packing ? When he packed his
carpet bag and packed off from Connecticut
to Pennsylvania. When was his last packing
done? When he packed the Ilarrisburg
Convention.
WHEN the Democracy at Ilarrisburg planned
the nomination of the richest man they could
get, they committed two great crimes : First.
The nomination was an open and unblushing
attempt to obtain money under false pretenses
from the nominee. Secondly. It was an un
cousciencious and defiant attempt to buy up
the State and carry an (lection by the power
of gold.
So MUCH for the "Poor Man's Candidate !"
Judge Packer has grown immensely rich on
the toil of the poor, and has always made it a
point to purchase that toil at the lowest
figure. So that wealth flowed into his coffers
it mattered not to him how much of suffering
and privation was endured by the men in his
employ. Are the toiling millions willing to
vote for such a man to be the Governor of
this Great State ?
WE QUOTE Iroui the little speech of Hon.
A6a Packer at Philadelphia :
"I will endeavor to do my part to lead you,
as jou have placed me in the van, to victory,
if possible—and if not, lam certain the de
feat shall not be attributed to a lack of any
thing that 1 can do. (Applause and cheer
ing-)
"You will excuse me from making a speech
at this time, for talking is not a part of my
vocation. (Applause.) There are those whose
vocation and calling it is to talk: mine is to
work ! (Voices, "good, good; lhat't what we
want," and cheering.) I will leave the talking
for those whose forte it is, and will endeavor,
for myself, to do my share of the work."
There is a charmingly simple frankness in
these revelations. The candidate is conscious
of his inability to make set speeches, but how
significantly he pledges himself to another
form of usefulness ! There "shall be no lack
ol anything he can do," and he means "to do
his share." And "that's what we want,"
howled the hungry wolves abont him 1 He
can't talk, he can't write, but he can buy the
Democracy, body and soul! Tbe people will
see about this.
DOES Asa Packer own any United States
bonds, or did he ever do so? This is the
latest dilemma of the unfortunate Democracy.
If he does or did, then he is a bloated bond
bolder, to borrow the elegant language oftbe
leading Democratic journals. It he does not
or never did, then he refused to aid the Gov
ernment in the hour of its peril in the only
way he could aid it. If bis millions, like a
Democrat's doubts, have always been cast
against his country, they are not to his credit.
If, on the other hand, his money is invested
in the lax exempted bonds of the Government,
then he has been violating the first principles
of the gospel of modem Democracy after
Brick Pomeroy. On which horu of the di;
lemma does Mr. Packer bang?

RKMI:UBI:IU;I> FRICNI,—I thought it well to
wait another week before writing, to see if I con
tinued to improve, as I have been doing fur some
time, under the treatment of the new medicine,
and I am happy to tell you that I am getting bet
ter—even faster than hen you were here. I com
menced the use of DODD'B NERVINE without
anybody advising me to it. When I began with
it I could only walk from my bed to tho chair.
My trouble has been extreme pain in the head, and
has las-ed over three years. AH the medicine I
have heretofore taken has failed to give any re
lief. lam now able to go up and down stairs,
and daily improving. I consider the NERVINE
the best medicine I ever found, and shall contin

I have taken only three bottles, and would not be
without it on any account.

Everybody has suffered so much from the ac

the evil in the luture. On and after the Ist day

People often complain of Bedford prices being
higher than elsewhere, and doubtlcsc true to some
extent, and for the reason that good customers
have had to pay for others goods, with an addi

will save ten to fifteen per cent on everything
they consume. Ilmayom H.F.IRVINE.
