The frauds and corruption in Phil

the democracy of the state. Tho

robbing the taxpayer* of Pbiladel

building commission ring, which has

crats would have been crushed, had it
not been for the treachery of two dem
ocrats in the legislature, who sold out
to the radical cut-throats of Philadel
phia, and killed the repealing bill in

Jxo. 11. Ortis.—We are pleased to
notice from the reeult of the recent
election, that Mr Orvis has received at
the polls, what the Reporter lias been
a-king for him, and what he to well
deserved, a vote ahead of the ticket —
his majority stands highest, notwith
standing he was cut by a few in Penn
and Ferguson. Mr. Buckalew ? ma
jority is 420, Mr. Onris' majority, 506.
There is only one instance in this
ounty, for a long term of years in
which the democratic legislative can
didate ran ahead of the candidate for
governor —this was in 1866 when we
had the honor of being re-elected by
502, Clymer's majority being 471.
How Straight!
The O'C'ooor tod Adams ticket is
called a "straight" democratic ticket.
Now that's about as straight as a hoop
for Adams, like Greeley, formerly be
longed to the opposi'e party.
Any democrat that can't
tote for Greeley and Brown
because it ain't ''straight-out," and
then goes for O'Conor and Adams be
cause that is straight, must himself be
assiraight as the letter Z, or a gridiron
-truck by lightning.
Greeley and Brown stand upon a
democratic platform, were nominated
by a straight democratic contention,;
and few democrats will be led astray '
ty so crooked a "strighl" ticket, as
O'Conor, and Adams, put in the field
by men who favor Grant and who
were paid by him.
lore Fraud.
Lancaster county is brimfull of raJ
ical fraud, and a number of arrest*
hare already been made, in addition
to the arrest of Cameron's brother-in
law, who ofiered a judge #2o> to *tuff
the ballot-box.
Captain McMeleu, member of the
Select Council and a member of Ibe
Republican County Committee, and
John Withlinger, a prominent broker
and Radical, bate been arrested and
held in $1,500 eacb, to answer a charge
of issuing fraudulent naturalization
papers. McMelen made a strong ef
fort to have the charge against him
withdrawn, but Mayor Pyfer declin
ed, stating tbat justice mutt be raetcd.
There is considerable public excite
ment here oter this arrest.
Cameron is after Forney, A Wash -
ington dispatch of 11th inst, says :
Senator Cameron arrived here last
night, and has been engaged during
the day in efforts to injure Col. For
ney, whose scalp, he says, he is de
tcrmined to have. The Senator
had an interview with the President
to-day and represented in effect that
he had done everything in the late
Pennsylvania contest and had shown
his strength in the -State, while For
ney, had only shown his weakness.
Cameron wanted the Administration
to no longer recognise the editor of
The Press, but to help him (Cameron)
to drive Forney out of the party, as
Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull and Fen-<
ton bad been driven out. The Sena-1
# tor was listened to attentively, but the
President was "reticent. He then
went to the various Departments and
demanded that the. Government ad
vertising should be taken from the
Press, but with what success is not
, known. He also endeavored to leara
if Col. Forney had any appointments,
and demanded tbat they too should
be taken from him. Altogether the
Senator manifested a good deal of the
old vigor which gained for him the
name of master of the Pennsylvania
Ring.
"We will put down the cursed Cop
perheads of Centre county, in Novem

of this county. Democrats what do

ed up f.<r Ruck'alcw ami honest gov-1
eminent ami in opposition to the plun
dering Camcron-llarlranft ring. It
was a vote that you can ever be proud
of. although fraud, and bnllol-hox
stfliuing in other localities have de
feated your wishes and the wishes ol
the honest people of Pennsylvania,
who yearned for reform in the election
of the noblest statesman of our eoiu
monweailh, Cha. U. Uuckalew, aud
displacing the rogue* who do the
biddiug of the i/arrbborg ring, that
has for years been robbing the treas
ury.
To you, democrats of this side, be
longs the honor ol saving our
county, although uot a man from this
section was upon the ticket, thus no
blv evincing your disinterestel patri
otism. and determination that a good
ticket should be elected, without re
gard to locality. AU the greater is
the credit dm our noble democracy,
for the patriotic work done on ihc Bth
inat.
IkthM iau of this side,- aye, demo
crat- of the entire county, —on the sth
of November, is another and greater
battle. Brave incu you have been in
the jiast ; you never faltered under de
feat heretofore—has the late defeat,
brought alwut by foul means, dUbaaft
encil you, for the sth of November
battle, ami w ill you jwrrnit that great |
contest to go by default !
AVilI you allow ada-tardly enemy
to vide over the cour-e, and grasp
another four years of power to practice
usurpation and tyrwuny, and to plun
der our debt ridden country, without
offeriug resistance at the ballot-box ?
No ! again, No ! we answer iu your
name. We say that you will do your,
duty as meu and denuS-rats, on the
sth of November, as nobly as you per
formed your duty in years pat.
Democrats, the eoutest is uot hoje
leas, as we exhibited in last week's
Reporter, although Pennsylvania was
bought up by the ring. Go to the
polls, and do your duty as men. If
the states that went democratic this
summer, show the same result io No*
vember—and we have every reasosi to
believe they will—it makes Greeley's
election certain without Pennsylvania.
But let u> do our duty, and fight
the plunderers again, even though we
believed the content was hopeless.
The radicals arc boosting they will
carry the oouuty iu November, be
cause, they say, the democrats are dis
heartened. Do not let Centre couuty
be digram! by a radical victory. If
all the rest do go worshipping false
gods, determine that good old Centre
shall not he disgraced by being car
ried by the minions of Grant.
Keep old Centre pure, fellow demo
crats.
Let every democrat appear at the
polls, on sth of November, and vote
the democratic electoral ticket nom
inated by the democratic convention
at Reading. Every man upon it is a
sound old democrat.
Let not a single democrat go back
upon the electoral ticket of the con
vention that nominated Mr. Bucka
lew.
Mr. Greeley's speeches, during his
late tour, are those of a patriot and a
statesman, and his enemies can pick
no flaw in a single utterance be made.
Democrats of this side, and the en
tire county, do your whole duty on
Tuesday, Nor. 5, and show lire rads
that you can keep them down at
home.
Is there a siogic democrat, willing
to see the county carried by the rads,
in November, which they now boast
they will ?
Arouse, then democrats, for the No
' vember battle, and lei's give the enc
my, in Centre county, a worse defeat
than we administered to 1 hem on Bth
hint.

The Uonveiilioit.
The constitutional convention,
; which meets at HarrUburg ou 12lh of
i next month, will be composed of 69
republicans, and 64 democrats.
In the convention will be some of
the most distinguised men of the com
monwealth. Among them will be G.
W. Woodward and William M. Mere
dith, who took an active and promi
nent part in the convention which j
formed the constitution of 1838. Jere-'
miah 8. Black, A. G. Curtin, Frank
lin B. Gowen, John 11. Walker!
ami 11. N. M'AUister are among the
i delegates at large. Besides these W. j
! -I. Baer, 11. A.T-arabcrton, B.C. Dodd,
Linn Bartholomew, A. A. I'urman,
..'antes Ellis and others will bring
much ability to the deliberations of
the convention. In the delegation
from Philadelphia are Theodore
C'uyier, Henry C. Carey, George M.
Dallas and Geo. W. Biddle. The
rest are, like the legislators of that
city, men of no note, and mere ring
nominations.
The delegates to the constitutional
convention will meet in the hall of the
house of representatives on the 12th
of November. Preparations for their
reception have already commenced.
As there will be a body of one bun
died and thirty-three delegates, addi
tional desks will be placed in the ball*
The convention will be able to occupy
the hall for nearly two months, when
the? will be obliged to make way for
the members of the bouse on the meet
ing of the legislature. By that time
much of the work of tho convention |
will be completed, and for the remain
der of the session the delegates will
probably meet in Philadelphia, unless
j accommodation can be provided for
: them in one of the large and coinmo
| dions churches of this city,"

The New York Tribune makes the i
following statement:
The Associated I'rew dispatch
which aunouuees the order for tho ar- '
rest of Dr. Muhlenberg, Cnited States
Collector of Internal Uevenue at Lan- i
caster, Pennsylvania, ior an attempt to
bribe the Kleclion Judge to slufl the
halhg box against Uuckalew. would
have been fairer if it had told the j
whole truth. The l T uited States Col- (
leetor, thus puuisbed for au effort to
bribe an Klection Judge to aid in the
fraudulent defeat of Uuckalew, is the
brother-in-law of Simon Cameron!
How many of Cameron's agents suc
ceeded in efforts like this in which his
brother-iu lavr failed v And in face
of a deuioustiatiou like this, of the
i way in which Pennsylvania was car
ried, how much longer will reputable
men, who would be ashamed to be
I caught in dishonesty to the extent of;
'a dune, coutinue to rejoice over the
gigantic corruption that, iu one dis
honest way ami another, reversed the
will of a State! How much lougor
■ will houest meu shut their eyes to j
sights like this of Simon Cameron's
brother-in-law under arrest, for at
tempted ballot-box et tilling, and re
peat the stale answer. "Oh! I don't
miud these stories of fraud. The de
feated party always calls out fraud."
That is what no used to hear in ans

rages of the Tammany King. By and

name of Tweed isuow as infamous as,
one day, that of Simon Cameron will

Mark this, from the Lycoming

or sixty negroes were colonized iu
' Lock Haveu withiu twelve days be
' fore the election. All voted. The
next morning after the election they
were all at trie railroad depot with
their carpet bags, and took the first
train for their homes. We have this
1 same account from nearly all the
i tow ns in the State. Especially was
. this the case in Bellefonte and other
towns where some prominent honest
Republicans took ground against the
Treasury ring and its candidate for
Governor, the object being to disgrace
these men by showing au increased
Radical vote at their own polls. That
purpose will fail, and the fraud will
recoil upon its authors. The radicals
polled many nioro fraudulent votes in

The October tlccUotia are over,
They enable u* to form u tolerable
accurate idea of the true political aim
atiou of the country
In we have to recount a
victory for the Liberal ticket o unex
ampled as to take her out of the lit
of doubtful State, aud practically to
pronounce in advance the d teuton of
at le*#l one hundred and twenty five
vote* in the Klectoral College. To
thU number it is only necessary to add
lixty votes to elect (treclcv and
Brown.
In Pennsylvania the distinguished
Chairm M in of the l iberal ("oinmillce
ha* eloquently chaructcriaad the meth
mis bv which the result of the election
there was accomplished. We com
mend hi* atatcmeut to the thoughtful
attention of the country.
In Ohio, despite moat unpreceden
ted gains fo the Liberal-Democratic
licked, the Grant uiauagera have car
ried the election by a reduced majori
ty, having brought to the poll# their
entire reserve vote. Had our demo
cratic friend# in certain localities of
that great Common wealth shown the
tamo camestnest and activity, and en
abled u- like our iiiemic* to record
our entire ptriugth, they would now
tie exulting over a brilliant victory.
In Indiana the Democratic and Lib

' tic* most uiii-crupuloutly employes! by
! the administration .uid it* ttllie!*, show
| iog thus that a free people when
I aroused know their light* and dare
niaiatain them. Indiana ha* fairly
j demonstrated that she can neither be
•'bought nor bullied." The moral of
lhe>e rcault* is that victory i# still in
plain view for our national ticket, ami
that energy and courage wiil assure it
That victory must be won. It we
meau to preserve free iurtitution* on
thi* coutineut we luuit assure it.
The evcut in Pennsylvania, on Toe*
day last, when considered iu it* caus
es,"is the most appalling political ra
, tastrophc that ha* ever taken place in
this country. Should the *y#teiu
through which this catastrophe was

I it seal* Iho doout of freer! om in Amer
ica. A sad contrast i; is surclv that
the city iu which our Itenuldic was
born, amid the anthem* of a free poo
lile, should now he the first to toll the
well of its liberties. It is for the fret
and uubought people of all the States
to calmly review the fearful crime
against sntfrage in Pennsylvania, and
to decide whether it shall lie rej>csted
within tbeir own border#.
For the fir.-t timo the system of free
and the sanctity of tlx

the preservation of the franchise in its

I*t our friends in each of the Slates
