State. Judging from
eeivod, Curtin’s majoi
Cumberland County- Official.— By refer
ence to our table, published in another col
umn, tho majorities appear as follows:
Henry D, Foster, for Governor, over An
drew G. Curtin, 91; Jos. Daily, for Congress,
over B. F. Junkin, 11; Irvine, for Assem
bly, over Shearer, 125, oyer PoYvcr, 205, over
Louther, 239; Shearer over Power, 80; over
. Louther, 114; Miller, for County Commis
sioner, over Megaw, 701;. Duke, for I’rothon
otary, over Ferree, 50; Floyd, for Clerk of tho
Courts, Over Sollouberger, 104 ; Brady, for
Register, over Thompson, 23; Miller, for Di
rector of the Poor, over Sheafer, 171; Dunlap,
for Auditor, over Eyster, 2.
It will be seen by the above that the Demo
crats carried the county for Governor and
Congress, and elected the Prothonotary and
Clerk of the Courts, had—that’s all.
• the Governor. —Governor
Packer has appointed Saul. Wherry, Esq.,
of Southampton township, Associate Judge
for this county, in place of Judge Woodburn,
deceased; This is an excellent appointment,
ond will give general satisfaction-. Indeed,
all tho gentlemen spoken of for this position
were competent, worthy, and deserving, and
it would have been impossible for the Govern
or to have made amistake in the appointment.
SSS“ The Perry County Democrat indignant
ly denies that the Douglas men cut Daily,
and it goes on to show that in Sandy Hill Dis.
triot, where but two Douglas men can be coun
ted; Daily was cat thirty votes. W}! “ rather
guess” Daily was betrayed by members of
both wings of the patty in Perry. Junkin
bad plenty of money furnished him by the Re
publican State Committee, and this was the
■ argument used against Daily when all other
. arguments failed.
Old York.—We feel like making our best
Taw td old Democratic York. She has elected
Daily to Congress, and gave Gen. Foster a
proud majority. Well done, old Democratic
York; All, honor to her sturdy Democracy.
; Democratic Success in Dauphin. — ln the
midst of the general disaster, the Democracy
of Dauphin hare achieved a local triumph of
which they may be proud. They have elected
Dr. Lewis Heck, a firm Democrat, to the Leg
islature, over John Wallowor, Jr., and helped
to elect Jacob D. Boas, Esq., Independent
Sheriff, over Jacob D. Hoffman, the Republi
can candidate. This is a signal and deserved
rebuke to the leaders and managers of the
Republican party in that county.*’
1856—1860.
In. 1856 we had nearly every vote out, in
Cumberland county. Mr. Buchanan receiv
ed 3427; and Fremont and Fillmore combin
ed, received ,3037. Total number of votes
cast 6464. At the late election Foster receiv
ed 3716 votes, or, 289 more than Mr. Buchan
an received in 1856; Curtin received 3625
votes, or, 588 more than Fillmore and Fre
mont received in 1856. Total increase in the
vote in four years, 877! Something wrong.
There certainly has not been this increase of
voters in our county since 1856. No one can
account for the increase—there is no cause for
it; on the contrary, previous to the election it
was generally predicted that, owing to the
hundreds of men who have loft our county du.
ring the last four years, our. vote would
, fall short of the vote cast in 1856. How comes
this tremendous increase, then? Has frjjud
been practiced, or have wb had strangers col
onized in our county for the purpose of voting
the Black Republican ticket? We repeat,
there is something wrong—no doubt about it.
; The Curtin Club; or Wide-Awakes. of
Carlisle, according to the Herald , held their
last meeting at the polls, whore “ every mem
ber made a speech for himself,” on Tuesday,
October 9. It was not in very good taste, we
think, in bur neighbor calling attention to the
result in our borough. Here in Carlisle, is the
▼cry place where the Democrats boarded the
Black Republican lion in his den. Hero the
Foster Club effected a complete organization,
and bid defiance to their opponents. Hero,
where our unscrupulous adversaries boasted
that Curtin would have a majority of 75 or
100, wo gave Foster - 09.1 All honor to the
Democrats of Carlisle— they performed mira
cles; the speech, (/icy made at the polls must
have convinced the Republican orators (save
the mark!) and “leaders” of Carlisle, that
their efforts and their speeches wore not ap
preciated or believed by a discriminating peo
pie. No Carlisle Wide-Awake need expect
favors at the hands of Curtin. They first
tried to cheat him out of his nomination, and
bad no power to protect him at the polls.—
Curtin will regard them as men of no ac
count, and will treat them accordingly.
' Lecture. —The distinguished' traveler and
•writer, Bayard Taylor, will deliver a lecture
in Rheeh'S Hall, in this place, on Tuesday

world, and no dbubthis lecture will be very
interesting;
OCR DEFEAT IN TUB STATE..
The Democracy of Pennsylvania have mot
,a, Waterloo, defeat. Two weeks before the
election we folt confident, of the. success of
Gen. Foster ; but, ns the day of battle dp
proachod, wo confess wb had our misgivings.
>ve noticed that pur opponents were ndmira
,bly organized in every, county and every
township. ■ They had plenty of money, too,
(furnished them by their State Executive Com
mittee,) which they used to purchase uniforms
for their Wide Awake companies, and to buy
up the venal. They had arrangements made
everywhere for getting their men to the polls,
and thus they wore enabled to poll their full
vote. Indeed, they used every effort, fair and
foul, to carry the Stato for Curtin, and they
succeeded;’even beyond their own most san
guine, expectations. ■
The Democracy, on the other hand, were
disorganized, and besot with difficulties. The
dispute about the Presidency paralyzed tho
party, and gave encouragement to tho com
mon enemy. ■ Our meetings and our speeches
failed to heal the broach, and wq went into
the contest disheartened and with little pros
pect of success., After Gen. Foster took the
stump,, our hopes revived, it is true, but yet
tho result shows that the heart-burnings in
our own ranks were carried to tire polls. The
fact is, wo found it utterly impossible to or
ganize our party in tho different counties.
Our State Executive Committee was without
a cent in its treasury, and half the members
of our party appeared in a bad humor, and
. always ready'to dispute with a brother Dom
. dcrat on the subject of.the Presidency. De
feat stared us in tho face from the day the
division took place in tho Rational Democratic
Convention. On that day we remember we
wrote to a friend in, Washington, and we pre
dicted to him that tho breaking up of the
Baltimore Convention would ruin ns in Penn
sylvania, and defeat us by 20,000. As the
contest for Governor progressed, we fqft, confi
dent that wo had made a wrong prediction.
But yet tho result shows that wo were more
than ton thousand below the mark in estima
ting our defeat. Tho disruption of tho Nn.
tional Convention, and the nomination (both
irregular,) of two candidates for the Presidon
[ ey, gave our enemies confidence, and dishear
tened our friends. From that hour to the day
of the election, the Douglas men and Breck
iNßinaE men made.war upon each other; The.
common enemy, notwithstanding the broad
sides we received from their batteries, were
almost forgotten in tho civil strife that was
going on in our own ranks. -Wo have been
defeated—routed, horse, foot and dragoons,
and have ourselves to blame for it. When wo
permit disputes to disorganize us, and indulge
in criminations and recriminations, wo must
expect defeat as d matter of course. ,We may
possibly learn wisdom from the lesson we
have received

your organization. Dp and at the enemy
again. None but cowards forsake their colors
in the hour of danger.’ Although wo are de
feated we are not dismayed. Wo call upon
you, fellow-citizens, to rally around the old
Democratic flag, and prepare for , the contest
in November. If wise'councils prevail in
Pennsylvania, we arc satisfied that the old
Keystone can be carried against Lincoln in
November. “ Pick your flints, boys, and try
it again I”
Death op Old Soldiers. —On Friday last
says the MecTianicsburg Journal of the 11th
inst., an aged and respected citizen of Mon
roe township departed this life. Mr. Peter
Phillips served in the war of 1812-14 as a
Lieutenant in Captain Hendel’s Company,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. _His -years were
nearly four-score, and his life was marked' by
an upright and consistent course. For the
last ten years ho received a pension from the
Government.
Mr. David Ebbrly, another aged and re
spected defender of his country, is ho more,
having died at his residence, in Cumberland
county, on Sunday last. He was also a Lieu
tenant in the war of 1812. Peace to their
ashes 1

BAIL! ELECTED!
Below we give the official vote for Congress
in this district. It will bo seen that Mr.
Baily is elected by 358 majority. This is a
much closer shave than we expected! But;
under the circumstances, we feel “ thankful
, < ■ /
for small favors," and glad to bo able to an
nounce the defeat of Junkin.' By a compari
son of Daily's vote with Foster’s, it appears
he was cut by 441 Democrats in the district,
viz—in Perry he runs bohirjd Foster 264
votes; in Cumberland 44 votes, and in York
133 votes —total less than Foster, 441 votes;
How comes this ?. hundreds are asking. To
us it is a mystery. We have received a num
ber of letters from intelligent men in both
Perry and York, assuring us that Baily was
struck by a number of the “straight-out Dou
glas men.” If this was the game played in
those counties, we suppose the same influence
was used against Baily hero in. Cumberland,
but to a limited extent. But, wo repeat, we
have no knowledge of the conspiracy, or of the
men engaged in it, notwithstanding wo have
our suspicions. The following is the official
vote in the District:
Baily. Junkin,
Cumberland, 3672 3661

York, 6533 5404

The' Democratic .State Executive ComifiitCcC;
Wo publish'below tho proceedings' of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,'which
met at'Reading job Friday last. :i'lt willJje
perceived that, almost with entire unanimity,
they hrivo rescinded the action of the 2d of
duly, at Philadeiphio, and of the 9tli of Au
gust, at-Crossiin, and determined to stand by
tho Rending Elcctorhl.Tiokot, pure and intact/
without any conditions or qualifications.—
This says the Lancaster Intelligencer, vias tlvs
very best tiling the Committee could do,-and
every true Democrat should feel in dpty bound
to.support tbc ticket. . The. Committee, at their
former meetings, in their anxiety ty keep tho
party , together and secure the election of Gen.-
Foster, offered concessions and compromises,
which were Only offered to be refused by a few
noisy and disorganizing Spirits, principally at
Harrisburg and Philadelphia, who appear de
termined to rulo.oy ruin the party. , The quos
tion is now a simple one. Stripped of all com
promises dnd contingonoios, the Democracy of
the. State are called upon to.vote the Reading
Electoral Ticket just gs the State Convention
.left it. Those who do not vote it are, Of course,
against regular nominations:
Reading, Oct. 12,. 1800.
A meeting of the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee was hojd to-day, at the Demo
cratic Club Room, in this city. The meeting
was called to order by the Chairman, Mr.
Win. 11l Welsh, at-11 o’clock. .
Upon the-calling of tho roll, forty-one mem
bers answered to their names.
Upon the Chairman announcing that the
Committee was ready to proceed to business,
Capt. Alfred Day offered the following reso
lution;
Bcsolvcd, That this Committee do hereby
rescind its action at Philadelphia on the 2d
day of <July, and at Cresson on.the 9th day of
August last, and that We recommend to tho
Democratic party of PennsyWania to stand
by the electoral ticket , made at Reading'by
the Democratic State Convention on tho Ist of
March. 1800.
. To which Mr. Isaac -Leech offered the fol
lowing amendment:
Whereas, It is the duty of all Union-loving
and conservative citizens to unite in such
manner ns will beat prevent the election of
the sectional candidates, Lincoln and Ham
lin ; and as it is believed that there are a ma
jority of voters in the State of Pennsylvania
who are opposed to the hostile and aggressive
doctrines of the Republican party; therefore,
be it , ■ ' ;
Resolved, That the electoral ticket formed
at Rending, oh the first day of March last be
submitted to the voters of Pennsylvania
for .the votes of all conservative citizens
opposed to the election of Lincoln, provi
ded that each elector -vyill pledge himself in
writing, within ton days from this date, that
in the event of his election as an elector, ho
will cast his vote for President and Vioe Pres
ident in such a manner ns tho Reading. Co
nvention, re-assembled fof such purpose on tho,
20th day of November, may direct, whether it
be for Douglas and Jobdston, Breckinridge
and Lane, or Bell and Everett..
Resolved, That believing that there is a do-,
cided majority of the voters of. this State hos-
tile to scetionalispij and the election of the
sectional candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, we
call upon them to forego pastdifferences, and
to unite as the conservative Union and Con
stitutional party in support of the ticket here,
presented. ’
Resolved, That the place of any oho declin
ing to give the required plcdgo may be filled
with one who will give such pledge to the
State. Central Committee, who shall assemble:
at this place on October: 23d, at 10 o’clock’,
A.M. : ■ . ■
.Mr. Carrigan offered the following amend
ment to the amendment; "
Resolved, That a committee of five from,
this committco.be appointed to meet the com-:
mittoe of the'same number lately appointed
froin and by the State Committee of the Con
stitutional-Union party, of this State,-to con
fer on the subject of a.joint electoral ticket,
the determination of said committee of five to
bo reported to the Democratic State Commit
tee for their acceptance or rejection. The
State Committee to assemble at the call of the
chairman thereof.
Upon a votp being had. both the. amend
ments were lost, and the question recurring
upon the original motion, it was adopted with
scarcely a dissenting voice.
. Oh motion the Committee then adjourned.
The Tonnage Tax Constitutional.— The
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, now in ses
sion at Sunbury, have delivered an opinion af
firming the decision of Judge Pearson, of Dau
phin county, in.the suit against the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company for the tonnage tax
overdue. Judge Pearson decided the tax to
be constitutional, and tho Supreme Court, in
affirming tho decision, have thus settled that
point against tho Railroad. Company. A con
siderable amount of money, withheld by the
Company until this question’should bo deci
ded, is now duo the State, and will doubtless
bo paid without delay.
Hamlin and Old Soldiers. — Congressional

Neoro “ Wide Awakes.” —The Bepublica.
ns of Chelsea, Massachusetts, had a process
ion on Wednesday night, and among the clubs
in line were the “ Attucks Wide Awakes,”
composed entirely of negroes. Hon. John A.
Andrew', the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, honored them by taking his place in the
the line, just in their rear, the mayor of, the
city, and other “ white folks” following. These
facts wo take from the Boston Atlas, Republi
can.
Some enterprising citizens of Osoalop
ta, Kansas, recently made a wind wagon and
started out for a ride on the prairies. The
wind was high, and they found that in har
nessing the children of Aolus and Boreas to
their machine, they had much miscalculated
their powers, as the my theological genius
who ambitiously attempted to drive the char
iot of the sun, and made a magnificent fail
ure. They could not hold their invisiblebor
scs, which ran away with the vehicle at the
, rate of forty miles an hour, smashed it all to
1 pieces, and suffered them to escape within an
(moh of their lives,.
In att artiolo in the Philadelphia
jJVm Saturday last, wo find the following
sentence.:' •■• r vr/,- ■ ■
The BophbJloan parly have just achieved
a roagnificout bfiuniuhi and in' the joy with
which thoyhttUthis triumph THEY HAVE
THE SYMP/®HY OF THOUSANDS OF
HONES? DEMOCRATS.”
' ’ And In the same article, speaking of the
contested eioctibh case of Wn.t.iAuE. Lehman,
who jt is said has been defrauded out of his
certificate of. election to Congress, from.the
First District, the editor in appealing to tho
Republicans.to givo.Mr. L. the seat, says:
They [the Republicans],cannot afford to
stain'their victory with fraud;, They cannot
afford to nsaist in strikingdown, by the basest
agents, s«■ men -.who have/ stood ‘in the fore
front iit opposition to Mr„Bunhahnn and hii
•administration ; AND TO WHOM,' IN A
LARGE DEGREE, THEY ARE INDEBTED
FOR THE RESULT OVER WHICH THEY
ARE NOW EXULTING.”
Comment bri the above is unnocossary. Wo
have emphasized those portions to which wo
specially invito .public attention,. and leave
our intelligent readers to form their own con
clusions as'to who are the “thousands of hon
est Democrats’! that sympathize in the Re
publican triumph; and also WHO are the
men to whom, ip a large degree, the “Repub
licans are indebted for the triumph over which
they arc how exulting.” .

“ On! Isn’t he a Bar lino !”— ln addition
to the vote of Mr. Lincoln for the resolutions
of Geo. Ashman, offered in Congress during
the Mexican War, which declared that , war
was wrong, uhjust and unconstitutional,.
Harper’s Weekly, in a biography of that in
dividual, says that Old Abo voted against a
bill granting one hundred and sixty acres of
land to each of Hie volunteers xcho served in it!
lie thus sought to visit his wrath upon the
patriotic men, who at the’call of their coun
try marched to the battle-field. This act was
worthy of a tory of the American Revolution.
In Lincoln’s brief public life, he never did a
patriotic acti; ,I’alk about such a man being,
one of the people ! It is nonsense and worse
than that. Ilo.hatcs the people, and all his
public hotshaye proved it. “ Oh! isn’t he a

An Arkansas Difficulty;—Three Men
Killed.— A letter dated Van Burcn, Ark.,
Oct. 13, says;—After a regimental muster
which was hold hero to-day, a difficulty oc
curred, during which three inen, Rufus and
.Jackson, brothers, and Richard Covington, a
son of the latter, wore killed by two brothers
named Silas and-Ben. Edwards. Several
others were badly out and injured on both
sides. An old feud existed between the' par
ties, but the Edwardses, who have long been the
terror of this part ,of the State, wore the; ag
gressors. . ■ •
; While they were trying to make their es
cape, they were overtaken a short distance
from town by the constable ,and his posse and
lodged in, the jail., A largo crowd nearly
succeeded in : taking tho prisoners from the
constable and hanging them upon the street.
They afterwards surrounded the jail for that
purpose, but were finally pacified. The peo
ple are very much excited, and it is feared
that the prisoners will yet ho lynched. The
affair was one of thoipost atrocious that over
occurred hero.
The rumor that an attempt had boon
made upon the lifejif tho Emperor Napoleon
has not been confirmed by the late intelligence
received from Europe. It may have been a
hoax gotten up by the London papers to grat
ify that intense feeling of self-satisfaction
which pervades all English minds, and espe
cially when they think of tho lot of their
neighbors across the channel. But it is diffi
cult to state positively, for wo know that any
report of that nature, whether true or false, is
studiously hushed; by the authorities.

A Singular Case. —The case of Thompson,
now under Sentence of death in Philndelplra
presents a singular phase and one which,
probably, has never happened before in any
court in the world. Some months ago Judge
passed sentence of death on John
Capio, who was clearly convicted of murder
in the first degree.' Through some influence,
he obtained a pardon from the Governor and
was sot at liberty. Continuing his bad habits 1
and frequenting his bad haunts, Capie became
involved in some difficulty with Thompson;
who, in, turn, murdered the murderer. We
now have tho singular spectacle of a Judge,
who sentenced one man to be hung, passings
like sentence on another for murdering, the
one it was formerly passed upon, and both
undoubtedly justly condemned to tho gallows.
Truly .this'was blood-for blood.
Death of Rembrandt Peale. —Rembrandt
Poajo, the artist,'died in Philadelphia oh the
4th inst., in his 83d year. Notwithstanding
his great age, ho retained his mental faculties
unimpaired, and even pursued the study of
his favorite art until about the last year of
his life.. Among the productions of his pon
cil is the portrait of Washington, pronounced
to bo tho best likoness.of Washington over ta
ken, and now adorning tho Senate Chamber
of the United States.
The Tea Plant.— The A r . E. Farmer says
the progress of aocliinntizing tho tea plant, so
far as heard from, is favorable, and there is
reason to believe, that it can be grown in tho
open air south of the Northern lino of North
Carolina and Tennessee. Eighteen thousand
plants have been sent into tho Southern reg
ion, and eight thousand more have boon dis
tributed to persons in the Northern States
owing green-houses, ns objects of curiosity.
There are some grown, for the latter purpose,
in this city.
BSy Banks, of Massachusetts, has been
made a Dpctor of. Laws. It is done, says an
Eastern paper, because ho has doctored tho
laws of Massachusetts till they won’t lot a
white foreigner vote there till two years after
ho has been naturalized, while they put a ne
gro through without winking.
The Fruits os. Black Republicanism.— ln
Ohio a Black Republican Judge, Briukerhoff,
has given a decision that makes fourteen tho
usand negro voters. Brinkorhoff was a candi
date for re-election, and depended, upon these
fourteen thousand for his success. As Ohio
has gone Black Republican by a largo major
ity, we suppose he is safe. .. , '
Tho Lincolnites say much against those who
do not fully agree on political questions com
bining to support the some electoral ticket.
How much more consistent they ape in tnelr
political nctiop, tho following, front the Phil
adelphia Conifer, will show: !;
; , Hamlin the Free-trader.— WillMr. Ham
lin give the friends ,of protection a written,
pledge that in the event of Lincoln’s death,
ho will recommend a Protective Tariff? In
New York, the elector at the head of the list
insists that the Black Republican platform is
opposed to a tariff. Mr. Hamlin himself has
always boon about as ultra a free-trader os
ever Mr. Calhoun was.; Hence in Pennsyl
vania and Now Jersey, whore so many tariff
men are enlisted in the 'Republican cause, it
is but fair.and proper thatsuch a pledge should
bo given. ■ ’■■■'

Important Post Office Regulation. "The
following is the official order to vvhicli the tel
egraph has already alluded: ■
Post Office 1 Department,. Oct. 8, 18CQ.—r
Whereas, By the act of 3d March, 1855, the
postage upon all letters,- except such as are
entitled to pass free between iplacos_ in the
United States, is required to bo prepaid; and
whereas,' the Deportment; through courtesy,
lias hitherto, otii considerable labor'and ex
pense,.notified the parties addressed, m all in
stances in which thoi writer failed to prepay,
that their letters would bo forwarded on re
ceiving tho postage due thereon ; and whereas,
instead of qimimshing, the number of such
letters continues to increase, thus showing that
tho -omission to prepay is intentional, it is
therefore ordered- that,from and after the first
day of November, 1800, all sUati unpaid letters
he sent to the Dead-Letter Office, to be disposed ,
o f in like m eaner as other dead letters.
3. HOLT, Postmaster-General.
Tim N>:w Yoke Ledger.— Bonner, of the
New York Ledger, announces that James Bn
clninan, tiio President. of;the United States, is
t) furnish for his paper a sketch of the life of
William Lowndes, the distinguished. South
Carolinian. To Mr. Bonnet’s note on the
subject, the President replies as follows:,
Washington, Sept. Bth, 18C0.
Mg Dear Sir : I luivo received your favor
of the 3d inst., and shall moat cheerfully com-,
ply with your request,' and furnish you a
sketch of the life of William, Lowndesl He
was one of the greatest,, wisest and- purest
s’atqsmon that have ever adorned our country,
ami yet his memory has been sadly neglected.
The truth is that my public duties employ my
whole 'time at present. I had hoped T Plight
enjoy some leisure after the adjournment of
Congress; but in this I have been disappoint
ed. If not before, I hope to furnish you the
sketch soon after the 4th of March. . This
from me will be a tribute, not only to justice,
but to gratitude.
Yours, very respectfully, '

Great Crop of Ai’f'i.es. —The apple Crop
is so abundant that the Eastern growers .are
at a hiss to know what to do with their frbit.
The Boston Courier, speaking of the immense
yield, says: ,
The land is full of apples. Every orchard
has produced ah abundance/. It lias boon a
year of great plenty, and if apples would only
keep-as grain keops,.we should have enough
of this year’s, product to; supply us, through
seven years of apple famine. .But unfortu
nately they perish -with the year* in which
they were grown, and the: question is an im
portant one; with farn'icrsi what shall wo do
with the apples? They can’t be marketed,,a'
fourth of them. The markets are glutted.—-
Many farmers are glqd to fake a dollar a bar
rel for picked fruit., Thousands of barrels can
bo bought at t]vat riito in- tluMpitncd vu.-i ,- :
ity of Boston. - Fifty retail,
would secure sales of..more-than 7ojr ti’inrs
the average annual sales of the last ten years,
and doubtless the price will .come down to
that. ■

How the Shakers Unload Hay.— Mr.
Levi Bartlett says, in the Country Gan/lr
nvtn, that the Shakers at Canterbury, N. 11,
have constructed a barn so that the load is
drawn to the upper' story, and the hay is “ pit
ched down’’ instead of up. Formerly they
used a grappling hook and horsepower,'which
at four “ grabs” would carry a largo load to
the, top of the building; now they have no
use for it.
. B®“ Some Irishmen, at Detroit, had an in
terviow with the Prince of Wales, and became
so enthusiastic, that one of them shouted, “ Bo
dad, *me back hero four years from now, and
we’ll run you for President.” '
Thomas Jefferson once said, tlmt “the
old federalists would at some future day at
tempt to get in power by stealing the name of
republican.” The fulfilment of the prophecy
has been reserved for our day and generation.
