TR I" 31 BULL'S VAR OFFICE A STOKY OF THE ItEVOLl'TION XKVER I'.EFOUE TOLD. From the Xew York Sun. The old war othce in Lebanon, Conn., of Iov. Trumbull Washington's broth er Jonathan has lately received .v new roof. This means that the little build ing which .sheltered Washington, Roch amlieau, and Lafayette, which was the meeting place of the "Council of Safe ty,'' and the halting place of the mes sengers who bore important despatches between l'hiladelphia and Boston, is not 3'et to Le torn down. It also means that the mysterious document which Mistress Prudence Strong once hid there, in defi ance of Gov. Trumbull and the Count de Uochanibeau, will still longer remain in its hiding place for years ago, even be fore Crov. Trufnbuil was gathered to his fathers, the villagers said that the pajiers i would never be found until the building I was taken down, and every rafter and every crevice Iftwecn the stones of the j large chimney was examined. 5-fore I ! tell the tradition that has been handed I down, and of which still the old towns I people say, with the manner of persons i who know- that there is a great secret hidden in tho walls of the War Office a scen t that lias been buried there a hun i died years a word or two ought to be i w ritten about the War Office itself. It i was sadly slighted during the Centennial i year, yet there is probably no building : standing, save only Independence Hall, ' that sheltered at one time or another so ! many of the heroes of the Revolution as did this little gable-roofed structure on i Lebanon (ireen. This is not a matter of ! tradition, but is fully authenticated bv I paiH-rs and letters which were collected j by the late.Iudge Larned Ilebard. Here ; Were written the letters and hence came i 'the suggestions to the Commander-in- ' ! Chief from (iov. Trumbull, which were j i so practical and bubbling over with good S sense as to cause Washington always to ( i speak of the Governor as Brother Jona- j I than, a name that in time became gene- j j rie. and even now is applied to tho "L'n- j 1 iversal Yankee Nation." Here always, j j when not called away, was theGovernor j to be found. Rochamlieau made it his j ! nominal headquarters when in winter ! quarters in Lebanon with hisbattallion. j i iov. Trumbull's war office was as well i known by common repute to every Rev- i ! olutionary soldier as was Independence , ! Hall. It" stands to-day just as it did ! then, and. barring the new roof, looks as I it then did, and the surroundings are al- i j most identical an advantage that it has ' ' over Independence Hall. The Hon. : s;iiiiut l .1. Tilden, while visiting Leba- i ' lion a few years ago, evinced the great- j est interest in the building. He said to . ! .lodge Ilebard that it was a relic of the i Revolution that ought carefully to be; I preserved, and suggested that it be made ' ' the depository of mementoes of that ( ! war. ; j From the papers ami letters that Judge Ilebard collected, many of them coming , ! into his hands when settling an estate of the husband of one of (iov. Trumbull's : j daughters, from the information that : j Judire Ilebard gained from memliers of : the 'Trumbull family whom he knew,, and from various other sources, the story , , of the secret of rrudence Strong a se- ; cret which it is lirmly believed would i have been exposed had the office been ! i torn down is gathered. j The Count do Rochambeau, w ith his ; battallion of allies, in the winter of ITsO . rested in Lebanon. Tlie soldiers pitch 1 ed their tents and built their huts on the slope of a hiil. at the bottom of which ; ! ran a stream of water to the mill pond. I sdream and pond and sloping hillside have not been changed since then by either nature or art. I The Count '." Rochambeau sat eating j his dinner of succotash and a juicy piece j , of beef one stormy afternoon. He had j ' just received a despatch from Washing- t ! ton which pleased him greatly, and had j sent a messenger to notify (iov. Trum-' ! bull that the Count de Rochambeau would do himself the honor of passing i an hour or so of the evening with the j i Governor at the war office. I ! An unusual bustle in the camp attract- led Roohamlioau's attention. "What; ! does this mean ? Those fellows are 1111- I : usually noisy to-night, '' he said to an ; ; aile-de-camp w ho dined with him. I "If I mistake not the sentry have cap 'tured a deserter,'" said the aid, rising ami going to the window. lie stood there peeling through the glass, which was si imperfect as to make big men look very little, and small men look very lai'je, besides gracing one body with four or even six pairs or legs. 'It is as 1 mistrusted, sire. They have cau: 'ht a deserter, ami. if my eves do not deceive me it is I- rancois I hiplan.' "No, not he," the Count said, rising. "Why, he is a gentleman. He cannot conceal that even from you. if he is a common soldier. lie has the air tif a grand mvstery, and he is withal exceed ing serviceable at the oven." "It is he, nevertheless, sire, and you wiil pardon me if I recall to your mem ory the order that was issue'd by the Count de Rochambeau when the desert er was captured the other day and for given." 1 ' "Death at the next sunrise," said the ! Count, sinking into his chair. i '-Death at the next sunrise," said the ; aid quietly Methinks. had I known that thisfel- low would the next. I would have waited till the next after he, for there is something about him that passes my comprehension greatly." "Vou will " "Ne. I will not. The order was giv en, it must li1 followed. See that 1 am ! not awakened until after the sentence is executed.' A court martini was spe-ed il.v conveneti, land Francois Duplan stood Infore it i charged with having lieen captured by j the pickets far beyond bounds, and mak j ing as it were his intention to pass thro' ! the north 'am1s, out upon the Hartford ; tun ; pike. "1 cannot deny this." he said, "but I ; afiirm tint it was my intention to return before roll call and at once admit that I had disobeyed the rules." "That is an aiology easily fraineel af ter rapture." suggested the Judge Ael vocate ; "but if you can say what your purpose was in thus going lieyond the lines, if it seems tei us gixid and consist ent with your return, it may make the difference between life anil deatli with you. Francois Duplan." "Alas. I canneit tell my punose. I can say that it was a good one ; that had it lieen accomplished, results of much concern to me and to another yes, many others might have come of it. As it is unaccomplished, my purpose would lie laughed at ami another made an object of ridicule." "That must lie a singular purpose, in dexed, which you would prefer to lose vn'T lifa rather than part with." "If it must be so, then it must. I hojied to lose my life when I came to America, but not thus. However, what difference is it V" They found him guilty and sentenced him to death. He was to be shot by six of his comrades at the next sunrise. Yet they pitieel him. He was. by all accounts, a tall, handsome, brave fellow, a soldier whose ease of manner and whose habits indicated that his early life was passed in circles with w hich none of his companions were familiar. He was a stranger to them all when he joined them, and it had not escaid notice that the Count de Rochamlieau, with his ever observant eye, had marked this common soldier, Francois, and hatl even once said, in the hearing of the sentry who paced in front of the deKr: "I mean to find out why this gentleman serves as a common soldier and who he is.'' With all his reserve and hours of med itation, Francois was a favorite w ith his comrades, for while they felt that he was aliove them in refinement, in polish and experience, they knew that he made no effort to have them feel thus, but rather endeavored to repress all trials and emotions not shared in common by a private soldier. Vet lie could notrepress all. There was a method, a way, a man nerism of which he was unoonseienis. He had nursed the sick, done double du ty to save some tired-out comrade, and there was gloom throughout the camp when it went forth that Comrade I Miplan was to be shot at sunrise. They went by twos and threes and scores to the Count de Rochamlieau to leg for mercy, and they returned heavy-hearted, not getting what they sought. Duplan himself, so it was afterward said, was the most composed and seem- ingly least troubled soldier in the camp. ( )nce, when the guard, with tears stream ing down his cheeks, said : "Too bad I Too bad !" Duplan replied : "It is well." And then lie added : "I have lived these live years in the shadow of death. To-day, yesterday, for a few weeks I have seen a little ray of sunlight break ing through the clouds. I knew to-day. wiien I stepied over the line, that, ere I returned, either the sun would once more shine for me, or that night would come forever."' That seems to lie the strange part of it all. There is not a soldier in camp who thinks you intended to desert.' "Xor did I. Had I succeeded, I should have returned, welcomed by the Count de Rochambeau, and not as Fran cois I hipl'in. ' "Then you are lmt serving under your ; right name ?" j "Xo. I once had known .1 servant of that name."' Later in the evening Count de Roeh- j ambeau's aid brought a message to the j sergeant in command. It was to thecf- j feet that any requests of Francois I)n- j plan consistent with the execution of t he j sentence were to be granted. Food. I writing materials, companions for the night, the choice of the comrades who were to execute the sentence any wish es he might have were to be strictly car- ; rien out. Duplan at first said that he j had none, but suddenly, with an air of j great earnestness, and yet timidly, he , asketl if a comrade might be detailed to escort from the village and home again one whom he would like, to see. "And who is this one V" "Mistress Prudence Strung." The aid looked at Duplan curiously for an instant. "And why do you wish to see Mistress rrudence on such a night as this V" lie asked. "Did the Count de Rochamlieau in struct you that I must give you the rea sons for any wish I might desire grant ed ?"' was Duplan's answer. The aid smiled significantly, but Du plan did neit see that. "Let it be then as he wishes," said the aide to the sergeant. A soldier was detailed to go up into the village and escort Mistress Prudence to the camp. "Peradventure she will not come," he said to his comrades as he buttoned his great coat about him : "and yet 1 think she will. Have you not seen her at the oven when Duplan and the rest of us were baking bread ? Did she not visit us one evening with some eif the either maids, and bring us cider and apples V" As the Soldier passed theguard house. Duplan called him. "1 pray yon." said the prisoner, "not to reveal to Mistress Prudence my trouble. It is my last re quest to yem, comrade." Half an hour laterthe soldier returned. The flicker of the lantern that he carried revealed, as they passed the sentry, a slender female form, enwraped from head to foot with a cloak. She preceded her escort a few steps. The snow was beginning to fall. Some of the flakes fell upon the tresses of her hair that es caped from the top of her hood where it encircled the face. She was shown tho guard house. Duplan. standing, receiv ed her, waving his hand slightly, as if to warn her against any undue emotion. The guard, with .1 delicacy for which Duplan subsequent!- thanked him, turn ed his back to them, and paced slowly before the eloor. He heard voices. He did not hear, nor try te. what was said. He heard sobs, also. At the end of half an hour Duplan said distinctly : "Now, go. Vou will come to see rue in the morning at the oven, will yem not" And then the guard knew that he had j neit told her what his sentence was, and that she end not know that she never would hear him speak again. As she quitted the guard hemse he put some pa lers that he took from his breast into her hand. "Will you go with me to the War Of fice," she said to her escort, "and wait there until I have se-en Mr. Trumbull V Then when we get to my father's house my father w ill make for you ahrit punch I'll warrant. Yes, I know, the punch will be all ready, because Mr. Rudd, our minister, is in the kitchen this evening with father, anel they always take a warm one whrn they arc together." The snow, as they passed to the high way, lgan to fall so thickly that even the light of the lantern was dimmed, but at tiiis Mistress Prndep.ce laughed, and the comrade who was acting as her es cort thought her an extremely fearless girl, and wonderfully handsome withal. The walk to the War Office was a short one. Within ten minutes they were at the doeir. "Halt !" said the sentinel, and he was so muffled up that it was the tone rath er than the articulation that checked Mistress Prudence, who would otherwise have ojiened the door and gone in unan nounced. "Oh ho ! It is you, is it, Mistress ; and what do you here on such a night as this?" the sentinel said, after peering into the maiden's face. "I would see Mr. Trumbull ; truly I desire overmuch to speak to him. AYill von admit me ?"' The fc-ntiiiol tapped ;it tho door. It was opened. A ruddy glow burst from within, and by it two despatch bearers could lie seen sitting on the counter for before the war the office was a country shop driving their spurs into the woodwork as their legs dangled a foot or more from the floor. The marks of the spurs of these and other messen gers are to be seen in the woodwork even to this day. Mistress Prudence and her escort passed in to this roeim. The despatch bearers, w ho were evident ly in the midst of some rollicking story, and were plainly feeling the merrier for the mulled cider they had taken, eyed the female figure curiously at first ; but when she threw her cloak and hood off anel they saw the large gray eyes, now seeming very dark by the firelight, and that her features were exceeding fair and her manner gracious, they thought for certain that they were in the. pres ence of one of the Governor's daughters, and became at once greatly courteous. One took her cloak and shook the snow from it, then put it before the fire. The other oiiened the eloor to the room in the rear where he knewAthe Governor was passing an hour with the Count de Rochamlieau. Thus unanmumced Mis tress Prudence came into the Governor's presence. He sat at his oaken desk, but seemed for the moment to lie more occupied over a certain discussion that he was having with Rochamlieau than with his papers. The French noble man stood easily befeire the tire-place, the flames from the burning log burnishing the gilt of his scabbard. The Governor arose and "the Count bowed. Both were exceeding tall, and Mistress Pru dence seemed by contrast wofully small, but not less fearless than the men she confronted. "Why, Mistress Prudence, what has brought you here ? Do you come from your worthy father, the Ksquire?" "Ahem this in the slightest and yet most suggestive of tones from the Count." "Parelon me,'' said the Governor. "Let me, I lieg, present Mistress Pru dence St rem g to the Count ele Rocham lieau. A worthy daughter of an exceed ing worthy father, sir." "Truly, that wtuihl almost go with out t lie saying of it, your Excellency."' And the Cenint with much grace took Mistress Prudence's brown but shapely hand and bent over it. "Did I not have the pleasure of leading the maid at the reel in the tavern elining reiom he asked. "Indeed you did, sir," replied Mis tress Prudence, curtseying. "But, Mr. Trumbull, will you tell me what Mr. Duplan, the tall French soldier, has elone, and what is to be his punish ment ?" The Governor, who had taken advan- tage of the colli wpiy between the maid j and the Count to elraw on his outer gar ment of plain brown homespun for the room was sultry and he liael removed it turned with a look eif surprise. "I know neithing of any French sol elier, Mistress Prudence, and prithee why should you visit me on such a night as this for such a matter ?" he said. "Because he is a good man and a brave soldier, and liecauso he has done nothing to merit punishment." "But w hy does Mistress Prudence lie cenne his intercessor, eh ? Count, per haps you know something of this. What eloes the maid mean, for T see that she is greatly exercised, and I know her to le not disturbed by trifles." The Count de Rochamlieau was very grave. He looked at the maid strange ly, but not suspiciously. At length he said : "lie is a deserter; there is much eif mystery about him; but of all the mysteries there is none so very strange as this that has now come to my ears. Tell me," and he took the girl's hand, "what reason is there that you should thus intercede ?" "I canneit tell that now, sir." replied the mistress a little demurely, "but it is a good one." Here the Count de Rochamlieau looked very grave, but the Governen- at once said : "Fd plight my honor, sire, the girl tells the truth. Tell me. Mi tress Prudence, how cme you to know this soldier." "1 have often seen him at the oven, over there, and in passing have chatted with him, as have the other maidens, for lie speaks the Lnglish tongue as well as you or I." "Was that entirely seemly V said the Count gravely. Mistress Prudence looked at the tall, gracious Frenchman wonderingly for an instant, and then slowly and instinct ively catching his meaning, said, while her gray eyes sparkleel and the blood mounted to her cheeks: "There are none but brave and true women in Lebanon, sir." The Count bowed low, with his hand over his heart, anel humbly beggetl the maid's forgiveness. "At the oven, you say," continued the Governor; "surely there could lie no harm in that, for is neit the oven on the ceimnion. at the rear of the meeting house V" The brick oven still remains em the common, sadly broken in and gone to decay, but there nevertheless. "I came to ask you to cause him to lie released, on my weirel that he has done nothing wrong. It is unseemly to shut such a man upas a prisemer for the space of one heuir." The Governor and the Count exchang eel glances, and the quick eye of Mis tress Prudence saw it. With the most dignified courtesv to the Count she turned her back upon to the Governor, said : vou knew me when I him. and, going "Mr. Trumbull, was a child, be fore this war. Did you not sec me lead the other maids to the school house, when the messenger from Lexington to Norwich stopped to tell us that blood had be-en shed, and did I net suggest to the maids that we even take our petti coats to make the implements of war with? Do you remember rny ride to Hartford, alone through the forests, that I might carry to you the special despatches that were waiting you here from Gen. Washington ?" "In truth I rememlier all this, and to your credit." j "Then have I not the right to ask a slight favor ?" : "But, Mistress Prudence, I cannot do what you would seek. My authority extends not to the battalion of the Count ele Rochamlieau." "But you can plead with him." "I see, Mistress Prudence, you little comprehend these matters, and in truth I wot my pleadings would not avail the half yours would." The Count listeneel gravely to all this. Suddenly he said, but with infinite re sjiect, "Tell me, do you love this man '" "What has that to do w illi it ?" she answered, straightening up and her gray eyes Hashing indignation. "If he deserves punishment I might love him and still suffer hi in to be punisheel. But ho eloc:i not. 1 bvj yoa to rcle;uc him, for he has elone nothing wrong." The Count de Bochambeau said noth ing. "Will you not release him ?" she pleaded tenderly, placing her hand on the Count de Rochambeau's arm. He turned his face away, but shook his head. "Will 3-ou beg for me V" This to the Governor, who stoeid with one hand on his oaken elesk and looking very stern, as much as to say, "1 like this not at all." "I cannot, Mistress rrudence." "I know not what his punishment may be. It is disgrace sullicient to have lieen arrested." But I have here" and she suddenly drow fre.m the folds of her dress a thin packet of paiers "that w hich he gave me to-night, saying that were he punished I might keep them forever, were he not I might de liver them to the Count de Hochani bcau. They are of great imwtance, sir, for they not only tell who Francois Duplan is, but certain other hints of value." "Let rue see them, child," said the Count, starting forward. "Xe.t till you promise, and I will'tell you, furthermore, that oh your written order for his release, I will kiss you asl might my father." "Verily," said the Count, "those are, but other words, the meaning of w hich is the affirmative answer to the question I put to vou. Then von elo love the soldier?" "That is impudence, sir. I have neit said so. Mayhap in your country wo men can do nothing unless the motive of love is imputed. It is neit so here, as Mr. Trumliell well knows." "You are a brave maid," said the Count ele Rexhamlie'au, "and you shall have your wish. Now let me have the papers." With this Mistress Prudence rushed from the room, the Governor and Count staring at each other in amazement. i Fresentlv she returned, looking elernure, 1 1 . 4 .. ri iinii oniii ous pien . "I have put the pajiers where they are safe, sir. To-morrow when I see Mr. Duplan anel he tells me that he is reliev ed from duress and disgrace, I will place them in your hands." The Count Hushed. He bit his lips, and at length said : "Then Mistress Prudence dare not trust to inv honor V' "Yes, ves," she said goin to him ! prettily, you for se-ek the rest rain "but methinks 1 will punish ! your impertinence, sir. Ion paiers greatly, and you must your curiosity over nicht as a punishment for the question you put to i me. Nevertheless 1 will partially re- quite you, 7 ana with, that she put her face up to his, so that when he bent over she kissed him eiii his forehead. Then the Count sat at the,. Governor's desk and wrote an order pardoning' Francois Duplan, or rather elisrnissing the charge of desertion as unfounded, thereby ejuieting his conscience regard ing the eremptory order of death to de- ! serters ami gratifying his wishes. "Give j this," he said, "to your escert, and 1 charge him to deliver it to the sergeant : em his return to the camp." j When she went away neither the I Governor nor the Count proposed to 1 make any search for the pajiers. The i despatch liearers, in respemse to the j Governor's inquiry, said that the maiden j went up among the rafters. ' Comrade Jae-ques showed Mistress ! Prudence to her father's door by the . light of his lantern, anel, nothing loth. went in. The mistress herself mixed ; him a punch eif tremendous strength, j which lie drank in her honor. Then . "Seiuire Strong insisted on another, and ! the minister suggested that they drink to the cause, so that by the time Com- ! rade Jacques was ready to go back to j the camp he must have had more than ! a pint eif Medford rum to warm him. The cold night air from without and the heated rum freim within sent his brain at once into a whirl, and an hour after the sentinel took him to Ii is tent in a state of the wildest intoxication, in ! which he constantly sang the praises of Mistress Prudence. Thev found on him at noon the next elay the Count de Roch amlieau's remission of the sentence of death. At sunrise the sergeant and six weep ing comrades, drawn by lot, led Duplan through the snow across the highway, nearly opposite the old mill. He knelt in the snow on the bank, and begged them to stanel not more than live paces away. He calmly repeated a prayer, and "then turning to his cemirades said in a clear voice, "Aim for my heart," and dropped the handkerchief. He fell over in the snow dead, and by noeni was a a l . 1 r. 11 IT: - -....,. .1 u, men niair o.- iv. i. ji, o v...... took from a stone wall a dozen or more boulders and placed them in a pile over the grave, lhe little heap may lie seen to this elay. At noon, as the sun came out. Mis tress Prudence apiieared tit the oven on tlie green. She asked for Mr. Duplan, and the Frenchmen smiled, anel txiinted Uinarv privileges they were freely granted to the earth. Even then sin did not ami in the exercise of unwarranted power, understand. Looking across the com- ' threatened the existence of individual enter t . o....- ei e,,,t d-. i; -w-l.-imlu.-iii ' prise, and, inde-ed, to l ise paramount to coii mon she saw ti e Count do hot Ii.iiiiIk ..xn I authority. The Republican party entering the "U ar Othce, and to him she , w;(s in th(, Kmv , tllP rilltr . tlf. at once went "Where is Mr. Duplan V" "In his grave. Mistress Prudence." She paled, but did not faint. She stooel like a rock. She saw that the Count de Rochamlieau was not jesting. The Count himself looked sadly at her, and was about to tell her of the drunken Jacques, made drunk by the mistress's own attentions, but she steipied him. "You are a murderer," she said. "You have killed a brave and innocent man without cause. Vou have killed me. You trifleel with me last night. You care for women only to play with their feelings. He was a good man and a noble man. Oh ! you are all ser vants of Satan. War. Is this war? Then I hate it. Better had there been no war. Yes, 1 tetter have Ih-cu slaves of the throne. But I tell you, sir. you will never know whom you murdered, i If the constant thought that yon may j have killed one equally gentle with I yourself may bo a nourishment I hope -that it will ever rankle in your breast. I have concealed the paiiors. He aske-d me to keep them forever in case he was not released, lhey are sately Hidden. You will not find them unless you pull the Governor's ollice down. Perhaps not then, and it will not come down while you are alive." Then she fainted, and an hour after they carried her home in a delirium. In the spring when the snow was gone, they found a flower or two planted around the lioulders over Duplan's grave. No one ever saw any person plant them, but evorv one knew that Mistress Pru dence had be-en there. Before the next spring she was laid away in the. old cemetery, near the Trumbull tomb (you may see the slab over the grave this day), ami she never revealed the mystery, .search w;u often made for the paper. without success, but there is no one who has heard the story who does not lelieve they are hidden in the War Office. It is said that the Count de Rocham beau subsequently learned who Francois Duplan was and that he was eif gentle Hood. THE KEYNOTE OF THE CA31PAI(.. CHAIRMAN MI1.T.F.K SOt NJS THE SLOOAN OF VICTORY ONCE MORE INTO THE 1! REACH. To the Democracy of Pentirih ania : You are again called upon to maintain tho integrity of Jeniocratie principles, and, !y your action and votes, establish their supre macy in the Mate. The history and record eif the party in ail pat time has been con sistent, and its force lias always been expend ed in delensc of the riglits oi tho citizen, guaranteed to liiui by the organic law of the land. Your fealty to the party is not the result eif subserviency to the dictates of any eme man or set of men, but rests upon conviVtir.n, that its policy and principles, when fully carried out, have ever contributed to the prosperity and material wealth of the State. To this e-iid it has invariably resisted the en croachments if political" power directed against the rights of personal liberty and property. It is a fundamental principle of the Democratic party, that the majority shall rule that the will eif the people, fairly and freely expressed at the polls, is the supreme law of the laud, and should be maintained at all hazards, and that any attempt to set aside that will so declared, is a crime again-t the State, and subversive of the rlgbtsef the individuals constituting it. To establish a government based upon this principle cost the best bloewl eif the patriots of the Kevolu tion, and base and degenerate would le their children if ever they should permit it to be impared. The highest privilege that can be exercised by a freeman is the right of the elective franchise ; its enjoyment is secured to him by the bill of rights," which declares, That "elections shall be free and equal : ami n power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the tree exercise eif the right of suffrage. " In the exercise of this right, the ele-ctor is a sovereign, and a tame submission to any encroachment uiion it would speedily hasten a condition eit servi tude. In the exercise eif the elective fran chise, all are placed upon the same level, without regard to the conditions eif life or fortune. The poorest voter, in the use of this privilege, wields a power equal to that of the richest and most powerful in the State. The ballot makes them equal, and its importance is of no greater value to one than to the other, and hence in the perfect j security of its free exercise to every voter 1 rests the permanency of our system of self- government. To its" free and "untramiiieled enjoyment the Democratic party pledges its uiiiaitermg support. l inter l.epublican rule this guaranteed right to every citizen has been flagrantly violated, not only in this, i,n f ; ..i i, ..r .t o..- .. 1 1,., i .ii 1 1". it it ti, i,,.,-,, ,1,'votion of the I'cimx-ratic party in the last Congress that re.ithrmed and paf- tially restored the jht of the elector to a live ballot. That was not a cutest for political su premacy, but a struggle for a lo-t right, and accomplished tor the people what in other times could not have been gained without an appeal to arms. In this State, for years you have submitted to the rule of the Republican party, and not only by intimidation and fraud have electors been deprived ef their sail rage, but in more than one instance you have Im-ch disfranchis ed, the legitimate, honest, vote eif tbe State having been counted out. More than one State official has held his e'flice against the honestly polled vote of the people. In the city of "Philadelphia it is notorious that t In most flagrant outrages have l en perpetrated upon the electors, by repeaters, haliot-boc stutters, and the paid minions ot the National j government, and the right to a free ballot ' has been trampled upon within the shadow ' of Independence ll.i.l, where the spirit of li'.icrty was tir-t given niitli. I think I mis ; take not the temper of the Democratic party i now, in that, they will not again tamely suii ; mit to such an invasion of their rights but j in the approaching election they will see to . it that there shall not only be a ret ballot but an honcH count. ; Other elements, equally dangerous to the i rights of the citizen and the prosperity of the j Commonwealth, exist. 1 The Republican party for yea: s has been ' in the keeping ot an organized ring, that ! iciicroniy has relieved the masses of the ' paity from the responsibility of taking any i active part in its management. It has organ 1 ized its State conventions, selected an.l num i inatcd candidates for high political positions, ' and appointed Senators to represent I'enn ' sylvanta in the Senate ol th" L'nited states, used the power (if the lobby to control ini ; portant legislation, and by the potent i:i j lluence of money and positi oi, its hal 'tuli:--lluence has lonnd its way into every liore of i emr pelitical system. Whenever if lecaiiie ! necessary to accomplish a purpose, ts power j was irresistible. It pervaded every dep.ut ; ment of tbe state government, nmi in tiro ' House and Senate were found its efficient representatives. Ia the lobby it was omni 1 potent. The treasury was regarded as the ' object of legitimate plunder, nod the ii'-ri'-! selitatives ot the people as the mere ilistru j meets to give legal term to robbery. The ; most iniquitous measures were conceived '; and executed. The sentence of political death, without reprieve, was imposed on any adherent who hesitated to carry out the decree ! the ring, and his place tilled by a In,rc pliant ami supple tool, m the name t,t i,,yalty the state was plundered I'he public works, costing the people millions, were given away, ami the treasury depleted bv tlie repeal ot the tonnage tax. New offices were created with immense emolu ments and a long tenure, to w hich they mi liesitatingly appointed themselves. Corpora tions demanded of the Legislature extraor- came, and is, the Republican parly. If is true that nil mirations with" carefully minnled liovvers are necessary to carry out great enterprises, but in granting privileges superior to those enjoyed by the individual. the grcate-st vigilance should be exercised bv the la-gislature, otherwise, as all cxoricncc proves', having once entered the field e.f special privilege, their rapacity knows no limit, and they he-come engines of oppression, crushing out every interest but their own." "gathering w here they have not strewn, and reaping where they have not sown." Re cently this grasping tendency of corporate power has been disp laved in the great oil regions of the State. This wonderful natural development has attracted there immense' capital, the neces sary an.l legitimate result of which has Ihh ii ; to add largely to the material wealth e.f the , Commonwealth. There the w ildest field for ; individual enterprise has been opened, i Thousands of the active men. the business men. the live men of the country, of physical and intellectual energy, have been drawn to ; this center. To foster and c-. corlrage this j interest by proper ami pi 'itcotive legislation, i that the porduecr may reap the legitimate fruit of his labor and" capital, shauld lie the first card of the Commonwealth, and yet, we are assured by the appeals coming from the people of that region, that the great carrying corporations in their discrimination against the producer and transporter have so paraly zed tlie enterprise- of individuals, as to make them their servants, "the hewers of wooel, and the drawers of water." For these wrongs they napt hold responsi ble the Republican party, which has been in full possession of the executive branches of the government. To correct these and many other grievances and the more effectually io guard the ap- ..... ,-aet s f if corrupt influence noon hiciiIkts of the Legislature, a new Constitution demanded, lhe ring influence in the l.e publican natty arrayed itse-lf in opposition to the proposed reform, but the ivo!c, aroused to the sense eif its importance, cir ried the proposition by an overwhelming ma jority. The new Constitution was adopted. The "most stringent provisions were ineorpo l.Ucd ill it to tui 'j tiio viK ioavaiUviii of u i- warranted corporate' power, and seemingly impassable banners raised to prevent the ap proaches of corrupt influence upon the rep resentatives of the people. The people felt safe in its apparent protection, but bow vain and futile were their Iiojm-.. Chartered monopolies ref used to submit to its require ments, and the poisonous influence of th lobby again found its way into the balls of legislation. To the ring combination in the State the Constitution was but a rop e.f sand. Of this the proof is before the peop!. in the recent attempt of the master spirits e.f the ring, those who arc recognized leaders in the Republican party, and w ho control its conventions and nominate its ticket, to de bauch the memliers in the l.-i-t legislature in the r.ttempt to pas the f l.oo i.no.i riot bill, is glaring evideni-,- before the people, and inu-t convince every one n.t bonded by par ty prejudice that nothing but the utter ex clusion of this ini'iieiiec. and t'.nwe whom thev may dictate as candidates f..r eiile ial position, will save the fair fame of the Com monwcaitli and place the revenues e.f the people U-yond the reach of organized politi cal corruption. Hitherto the enemies of the honest admin istration cf the government were insidious in j their approaches to the treasury, but cinliol : dened with long sticc. ss with impunity, and i the magnitude of the prize in tle-ir recent at I tempt upon it, they lot their usual caution, t and heiici. investigation has oiselosed the j a. tors the ruling spirits in the iniquity. ! Some have Ih-cu condemned in the body of which thev were members, and others await their trial "bet ore a legal tribunal.
