JPIJSU Q3 TUG GOLi'SIX !
The lladicals arc alarmed ! The city
press of that party speak dispondingly of
their prospects in Pennsylvania after the
democratic victories in California, Maine,
anl elsewhere, and the Radical sheets in
the country are taking up the doleful la
mentation. The Johnstown Tribune "don't
like the looks of things." It is evidently
alarmed for the result. Fear to Radical
ism la hope for the country, and it be
hooves every democrat to 'TUSH ON
THE COLUMN."
No democrat who refers back to the
d.iys of good times and l?ght taxes, to the
time when we were a united and happy
people, under an economical democratic
administration of the State and national
governments, can fail to yearn for a return
to democratic men and measure?, and feel
u determination to push on the Democrat
ic column.
Those who have been deceived by the
Radical cry of devotion to the Union, and
find the same party throwing off the mask
and even the name of the Union party,
and falling back upon her old sectional,
disunion principles, will join the true
friends of the Union, and push on the
lX'mocratic column.
Those who bravely perilled their lives
in the cause of the Union, and fought to
preserve the Union of the States under the
Constitution, and who sec that the Radi
cal theory of success is continued disunion,
will unite with us m pus-lung on the Dem
ocratic column.
will forever crush in Pennsylvania at least
that fell spirit of Radicalism which has
well nigh succeeded in blotting from earth
the last vestiges of a once free and hon
ored government.
Thr gain cf Pennsylvania would give the
Dem?racy substantial cause for hope in the
next Presidential contest; and should it be
carried with a half-disguised repudiator at
the head of the successful ticket, the damage
, to the public credit would be dcplorabla.
I XT t- IT
j. i . j. rtvitJte.
Mr. Greeley is a man of loose political
morals. Hid principles arc conflicting and
irreconcilable. lie calls Judge Shars
wood "a half-disguised repudiator" be
cause he decided that a contract which
expressly stipulated that it should be paid
in gold, could not bo legally paid in
greenbacks ; and he calls it "rascality" to
pay the government bonds in greenbacks
which contain no promise for their pay
ment in gold.
In other word?, a bond given by an
individual, for gold borrowed, and speci
fying that it is to be paid in gold, may be
legally paid, according to Mr. Greeley, in
depreciated greenbacks, and a Judge who
decides that such a payment is not legal,
is "a half disguised repudiator." But a
J bond given by the government for green
backs borrowed, when th it currency was
only worth half ns much as gold, and the
bond itself containing no specification that
it is to be paid in gold, cannot be paid in
greenbacks, as sucli payment, Mr. Gree
ley says, would be "rascality."
Mr. Greeley has become a great stick
ler for the sacred obligation of observing
'public faith" though there is no faith
plighted to pay the bonds in ant tiling bet
ter than the currency borrowed uu them,
and no faith would be broken by paying
them in the government issues which form
the legal tender mo icy of the country, and
which everybody is compelled to receive
in payment of all dbts.
A new l;ght has broken in iin Mr.
Greeley's mind since he denounced the
"starry flag," nnd exhorted men to dis
obey the Constitution, obedience to which
being the most sacred "public faith" con
ceivable. Such teachings occasioned the
war, broke up the Union, overturned the
Constitution, and crushed the country
under a mountain of debt.

The glorious news from California,
Maine, Montana, &c., has completely dis
heartened the Radical, and if the Demo
crats will only take advantage of the dis
affection so plainly evident in the ranks of
the opposition, there cannot be a doubt
but what the day of redemption from mis
rule and corruption those blighting curs
es which have robbed the people and sap
ped the foundations of a free government
will ere long dawn upon us in all its
effulgent brightness.
From every section of the State comes
news of the rnott cheering character. The
people have grown heartily tired of that
kind of government which robs the poor
and enriches the wealthy which taxes
the laboring man and exempts the bond
holderand they have determined this
full to have a change. Enthusiasm and
thorough organization pervades the Dem
ocratic ranks, and all seem to be impress
ed with the conviction that a great triumph

The Philadelphia Xrics says : "The
Radicals tell the bondholders that if the
present Rump Congress is not a lawful
Congress, their bonds are worthless. No
Government bonds were issued by either
Rump No. 1, or No. 2, (commonly called
thirty-ninth and fortieth Congresses) c ii
sequeutly Government bonds do not de
pend for validity upon the lawful charac
ter of those bodies While the Southern
States representatives remained out of
CoDgress by their own act, the remaining
members constituted a lawful Congress ;
but, when the war terminated, and the
recovered States presented lawfully elected
and loyal representatives, and those rep
resentatives weie unlawfully excluded by
the Radical majority in Congress, then the
lawful Congress terminated and the un
lawful Rump began. Bondholders will
Mar this imuortaut fact iu laiud.'
-The New York Herald has deserted
Radicalism, (rats always desirt a sinking
ship,) and predicts a Democratic victory
in Pennsylvania at the coming election.
Our immense standing army costs
two hundred and fifty millions of dollars
a year. Think of that, Taxpayers, and
if you like it, vote the Radical ticket.
Your loyalty is estimated by the amount
of tax you can pay without complaining
or voting lor retrenchment.
The Radical press have been driven
to a very n-ier shift to make capital for
their candidate for theJSupreme Court.
They are publishing such of his decisions
as were approved by tho Supreme Court
neglecting, however, to allude to those
which were reversed and set aside.
The party which repudiated a portion
of the interest of the State debt, will not
hesitate to repudiate the principal. In
1864, the Radical Legislature of Pennsyl
vania passed a law changing the payment
of the State interest from specie to "depre
ciated greenbacks." Holders of all kinds
of securities will remember this on their
way to the polls.
Let the laboring men of Pennsylvania
remember that thev and their fellow citi-
zens of the North are being taxed at the
rate of more, than Jifty millions of dollars a
year, for the purpose of establishing the
supremacy of the negro in the Southern
States. Let them say whether they desire
a continuance of that system when they
go to the polls on the 8th of October.
White workingmen who wish ne
groes to labor beside them in manufac
toiies and workshops, who desire negroes
to sit by their wives in the cars, and their
children in the public schools, have only
to vole the Radical ticket and they will
be accommodated. Tha party in power
are pledged to all these negro movements.
White men must protect their own inter
ests fiom negro antagonism.
Remember that it only requires a
change of 8,590 votes on last year's elec
tion to elect Jude Sharswood. A change
of only t-,vo or three votes in every elec
tion district will affect that result. Go
to work 'rou.-,!y, ihen, Democrats, for
a victory this fall will insure a Democrat
ic President, a re-onion of the States, a
simmering down of all agitation and the
return of peace, good will and prosperity.
Two Germans Matthhis Pholes for
the Legislature and Gustave SWit-itger for
Sheriff nominated by the Radicals of
Davenport, Iowa, have left that party and
taken their places as Dt-mcrafs upon the
Democratic ticketf The intolerant and
prescriptive spirit of Radicalism drove
them to this step and thousands of Ger
man?, there and elsewhere in the West,
have followed them out of the Radical
party.
Among the other items to be charg
ed to Radical management, says the Chi
cago Times, are she deaths of military
men, f.otn ytll nv fever, in the Southern
States. All these men were s?nt there
solely aud purely to register iieuroes for
the coming Presidential election. Over
the graves of such men as Griffin, should
be inscribed: "Fell a victim to the
Radical desire to elect a President in
1868."
The Radical Republicans, in their
purpose to subvert the Constitution of the
nation and uurp unlimited power, hope
to divert the attention of the peoplj from
their contemplated and partially enacted
treason, by charging the President with
exercising unconstitutional power. It is
the old game of the professional rogue,
who, in order to escape detection and ar
rest, when the "hue and civ" ia mul
I joins in the pursuit and is loudest of all in
oawiing "top thief after an imaginary
criminal.
The last Radical Legislature, to make
a "soft place" for one of their "dead head"
parlizans, cstabli-hed a "britrcb court"
called the "Criminal Court of Dauphin
Lebanon and Schuylkill." The act was
in every sense illegal, and was so declared
by the Supreme Court ; still this sinecure
Judge "goes through the motions" of
holding court. So far he has held three
courts, but not a single case has yet come
before him, and, what is probable, never
will. This Radical luxury only costs the
Siate three thousand five hundred dollars
per -f-ar.
Ben Wade, in his speech at Cleve
land, Ohio, the other day, said "the coun
try is now in a perilous crisis," comment
ing upon which, the Springfield (111 ) Reg
ister remarks : ' "Whose fault is it ! The
Radical Congress and Radical Governors
in the north have been controlling the
country since the close of the war. All
the laws made for the government of the
people, both North and South, have been
made by a Radical Congress and Radical
State Legislatures. If the country is in a
'perilous crisis,' the Radicals alone are re
sponsible. They had full sway."
In New York, the Democrats are
keenly alive to the importance of the ap
proaching election in that State. The
' M rorld of Saturday says : "Never before
in the history of State politics, so soon
alter the call for tbe State Convention
was issued, have tbe Democrats of the
interior gone to work with that singleness
of purpose and determined assiduity that
they have this fall. Our' advices from
nearly every quarter of the State are to
the effect that tSie Democrats are closing
up their ranks by thorough and efficient
organization, by the sweeping away of
local prejudices and jealousies, and by
unity of purpose and action for the strug
gle that is to ensue in November."
Urging the election of Judge Wil
liams, Forney uses the following as a final
argument : "It is also right there should
be no political distinctions among any of
the children of our great Republic." As
Judge Williams is also pledged to make
the Supreme Court a "fearless exponent
of the equal rights of man," it is clear that,
if elected, he will decide that the Rump
Congress may overthrow our State Con
stitution and subvert the will of the peo
ple with a negro suffrage act. If, there
fore, the people desire to maintain their
Constitution and retain the right to con
trol their domestic institutions in their
own way, they must elect Judge Shars
wood, whose first duty is the preservation
ot tue von?utuuou.
