DEMOCRACY IN FULL LIFE. •The Republicans for the lastscven years have attempted to>convince. the people that the' Democratic party was dead.— Through the press, and by. the mouths or their orators, they have persistently as serted that it had l breathed its last breath and beeh burled beyond the hope of res urrection. In mock solemnity they chanted its funeral dirge. In their as semblies they sang loud hallelujahs over its assumed demise; They have, howev er, refused to obey the injunction, "speak no evil of the dead.”~-They have fought its corpse with as much vehemence as though they thought that it was in full life They have heaped as much abuse upon it in, its expiring agonies and after they had laid, it in its grave, as they did when it was exhibiting its entire strength and reaping; the fruits of its victories.* They were afraid of its rotten carcass. They would not let it rest in P Tnd yet, whilst they publicly commit ted Its ashes to the tomb, at midnightln their silent chambers, its ghost disturbed 1 their dreams. Like a weird spectre, it arose -to haunt them . continually Write it down as fluently as they could, rant as furiously as they pleased; its spirit conjured up as if by some magic wand, would break in upon their dream of hope and would not “ down at theii bidding. The dissensions in its ranks delighted them. They saw in Its disintegration the triumphs of their own organization.- Diaoord among Democrats was sweetest harmony to their ears. They saw within their grasp lucrative offices andlong-coy etod honors., Its death was hSpto them. Their lev ran into ecstasy. no bounds. y They dreamed of unlimited em nlre They Imagined that the only pow er which could stay - their progress .was broken. They would obliterate State lines. They would wipe out State rights. They would orilsh out the very spirit of Demooraov. They would change the character of our institutions. They would declare the will of the majority In Con gress to bo the law pf tho land. They would reduce the number of the Supreme Judges until the judicial department of the government would bo completely, radicalized. They would impeach and remove the. President, so that the Execu tive might be a creature of their own.— And thus, with the three departments under, their control, they so legis late as that their rule might be perpetual. They would refuse to receive Democratic representatives in Congress. They would resolve that Democratic States needed a reniibllcan form,of government, and proceed to “reconstruct”"them so that they would always 'elect Radicals. They would elevate th 6 ignorant nogio to an equality with the Intelligent white man. They would proclaim him the equal in every respect of the native-born white citizen.

A lending Radical paper in Yankee'!find, commenting Upon the condition of that party in Pennsylvania and Ohio, declares there is bad nows from both States. The disastrous intelligence- from Pennsylva nia is, that the Radical pariy refused to make “ impartial suffrage tho leading principle in tho present campaign.” while tho sky in Ohio is darkened by a fast-increasing rumor “that a majority of perhaps fifty thousand votes will bo thrown against the proposed amendment to tho Constitution of Clio State allowing negroes to vote." The same journal ends its lecture to the faithful in tho abovc-nanicd Statesaa - follows: . ' “ 'flic Republican party is nothing, if not Radical. Those who attempt to adapt tlie idea of a golden mead, which is true enough in physics, to morals and to poli tics, blunder stupidly and fafaily. ■ There is no wisdom in trying to be half just and half unjust. Most truly has the party thus far been one of great moral ideas—a truth which its enemies have felt most deeply in , their hearts, when they have sneered' at it most bitterly with their lips. It is possible that the prevailing copsorv ntivo epidemic may go oat with tile chol era, yellow, fever and other disagreeable accompaniments of warm' weather. If it is to become chronic, tho'Republican par ty will have lie stronger hold upon the people than any political organization that is actuated solely by n desire to re tain place and power. The relinquish ment of the purpose of enfranchising the negro would ho of all things the most fa tal to its future prospects; for it would weaken most seriously the moral force of its cherished plan for tho reconstruc tion of the Southern States. .It would stamp with’ insincerity its protestations of regard for the welfare of the negro.— IT WILL COMPEL CONGRESS TO HESITATE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FORCE UPON KENTUCKY AND MARYLAND WHAT OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA WILL NOT AC OEPT.”‘ • 1 Hero thO ultimate ‘aim of the Radical party is clearly set forth. It is toYorco negro suffrage and equality upon States without the consent of the people; and despite the prohibitory clauses of their constitutions. If Maryland and Ken tucky can be invaded by Congressional power, and'the negroes elevated to a full political equality with the whites, then the same thing can certainly b.e done in this State, or any State In the Union.— The principal Is a general'one, and, if ap plicable to one State, then, as n matter of course, to'all. Tho 'people of. Maryland have just adopted, with singular unan imity, a new Constitution. All the forms were observed in ratifying that instru ment which guard and sanctify the organ ic law of the State. The people chose delegates to a Convention; Those dele gates adopted-a Constitution. That Con stitution was submitted to a vote of the citizens of Maryland, and by them ac cepted. Maryland, under that Constitu tion, stands in precisely the same position as Pennsylvania, or New York, or Maine, or New Hampshire, and Congress cannot adopt a line of policy with her which will not apply to all her sister States. The fact, then, that the leading Radical papers are Urging Congress to “ reconstruct,” or in other words to sub due Maryland by military force, as they have done all the Southern States, is a sure intimation that Senator Wilson's bill is.acceptable to. the Radical party, and will be pushed fonvfl-rri to an early Pas sage and enforcement, if that organization is endorsed by the people of the groat States of Pennsylvania, Now York and °T’hoit the Radical party in this State arc in favor-i of forcing negro suffrage upon the States of the North is certain. The mere fact that such a plank was, not in sorted in tho Williamsport platform, docs not alter the position of the party in the least. That was a njoro political dodge, as transparent in purpose, as it wiis weak and insulting to tho intelligence of the people. Senator Wilson’s bill has been endorsed by tho dominant party of Penn sylvania. Not a leading man of that or ganization has opposed it. No paper of that party has denounced its aims or pur poses. Senator Cantfrou voted to put the bill upon its passage, and Thaddeus Stev ens is openly advocating tho application of its principles to all the States In this manner the dominant party in Pennsyl vania have put upon record their inten tion to aid in forcing the negro on a level with white men in the North, thus de grading the latter, and placing the bal ance of political power m the hands of a race which has no affinity with the hith erto governing class in this nation. This is tho avowed aim of tho Radical party. In this State they have nominated n can didate for Judge of the Supreme Court, aud ask white mpq to support him be cause he is in favor of such an attack up on their interests. This is a plain Issue in the present contest. Every vote oast for Henry W. Williams Is a vote for put ting the ballot Into the hands of theme groes in this State, anything in the Con stitution to the contrary notwithstanding, and white men must accept the issue aud mCot it attho polls. —The Ago. - ■ [FftpytheAge.] .

Believing this Union w»s formed by white men for white men, I was'astonished fo And the pro digloua progress mad©-by the riegrophilefs In entirely changing the current of his tory, and diverting the government from the object of Its institution. The first trial by a negro jury that ever orirarred in America took place In May last in the United States Circuit Court In Richmond. The first man ever tried by such a'jury was a Union “scldlof of the Eleventh United 'States Infantry, thon qi} duty there.., And as I looked on this, veteran in the uniform' of,his country’s, defend ers—who had risked his life and shed his ' blood oh a hundred fields,' arraigned as a criminal' before negroes, I asked myself, did this'man. and" snob ;as he,'fight and bleed for four yeai-s Of terrible War for the purpose of securing these blocks the right to sit in judgment on white people y The next feature that startled mo was at Fort Macon, North ‘Carolina. That fort Is garrisoned by blacks, and is used as a place of punishment!for convicts;-—- Recently X saw there, a negro soldier, driving,,and ordering eight white men who were prisoners, while he made them haul a seine dhd catch fish for his black comrades and himself. Some of them were white, soldiers, convicted by court martial of petty offenses, and some were citizens of the United States, sent, there by ihilitafy commisslons without trial by jury, 'without warrant of Jaw, and in the pure arbitrary power. The civil arid military power of .the United States administered by negroes— to control arid coerce white men—Union men. foyal citizens, white soldiers; I thought to thyself if this thing is done now in Virginia and NQl’th Carolina, and (he South is Hold doNya by nogrops, just so will the uegrophilats use the negro vote arid negro pow e r to .hold down Pennsyl vania arid the North. - In an election ;for President a'negro Vote 1 in .Virginia counts just, ay much, ah’, a v>hitp' mau’s.voto in Pennsylvania, arid'the’ negro vote South is tri'be used to coiltrip white Vote North. ‘ A Haud Case.—A man in one of our eastern cities‘daring .the war, . deposited a certain amount of gold'with’a broker. — After tbp passage of the legal teuder act, he.callcd to, get hip'gflitl.

[JVom theN. I*. Herald.] THE APPBOACIIIXO POLItICAIi CAM. rAI«N,NOBTH and west. ' Our Cincinnati and Cleveland corres pondence, published on Thursday; oar correspondence from Pennsylvania, pub lished a few days ago, as wol 1 as that which we are receiving daily from other pails of the North and West, all show that a great and widespread reaction has commenced against tho dominant radical party. The people, who gave the repub licans their votes and support, during the war aud since, did so for quite a dluoront object from that which tho parly is now pursuing. That parly was placed in power, Ural, to .prosecute the war for tho Union -to a successful issue, mid, socondjTo har monize and restore the country, as it pro mised to do, upon tho basis of the consti tutional amendment. When it wont be yond this and created a military despo tism over tho South ; when it attempted to subvert tho constitution, or rather to ig nore it'nltogether, its leaders boldly de claring the country in a state of revolu tion, and when its object to establish ne gro supremacy and a negro balance of power became'apparent, tlie people saw they had been cheated. Had the mem bers of tho present Congress, when candi dates, gone before the people witii such a revolutionary 1 'programme, they would have boon defeated. They have played a conildence game upon the public, and, acting ns tlie toasters rather than the'serv ants'of tho people, have defied tho sen timent of the country.- This infamous conduct lias produced its fruit. The pub lic mind is becoming eniigtohod and a general reaction bos set in. Tlie radical press, though evidently much alarmed, attempts to explain away tlie true cause of tho republican losses in Maine and California: but that isahope less task. Every one knows tho cause is general; that local Issues have had little to do with It, and that it lies in tho dis satisfaction of people generally with the' negro supremacy policy of tire radicals. It Is found, In fact, in the common sense and patriotism of the moss of the people revolting against the faithlessness and destructive measures' of' Congress. But our correspondence shows beyond doiiht that an extraordinary reaction is going on in all tho great Central States and in the West. The general issue as regards iiegro suffrage and negro supremacy is the same everywhore—the same in Penn sylvania, New York; Ohio and the other States, and the same ns entered into tho elections In Callfornia aud Maine. There is another important question looming up prominently in the canvass, .particularly In Ohio and other parts of tho West, and that is the financial question. This threatens to prove as disastrous to, the radicals a» their nigger worshipping pol icy. The Chase radical policy for per petuating a moneyed oligarchy aud des potism, is viewed with as much disfavor la the West; among all parties,.ns negro supremacy.; The mass of tho republicans, ns well ns the democrats, are bitterly op posed to the national hank monopoly, to contraction ot the currency, to the bond holders being exempt from taxation, and to all the other measures of Chase in favor of a moneyed oligarchy, Tho Industrious classes—the farmers, laborers,'mechanics aud tradesmen—see ruin staring thorn in the face if this wretched financial system be perpetuated. They see that an enor mous debt will be fastened upon them, their labor taxed peyond forbearance, their means of paying their taxes and debts greatly reduced, aud tho prospect of universal bankruptcy; and all to favor the national bank monopoly, the bond holders and capitalists. Looking at the rapid growth of public opinion in opposi tion to tho radical financial policy, there is reason to believe the party will he de feated in tho West on this issue alone The whole tenor of our correspondence indicates such a result. - But tho main question occupying tlie public mind at present is that of negro suffitago and a'nogro balance of power in tho republic. Tho prospect of the whole South being governed by ignorant and uncivilized negroes, of 'these benighted blacks holding the balance of political power in tlie republic, of taking their seats iu Congress, and of dominating over the people of our own superior race,-With the degradation and ruin that must fol-' low—these are tho thoughts so repulsive to the muss of the Northern people. It is this fearful prospect, brought before us by radical rule, that has created a revul sion in tho public mind, and that will surely 'overwhelm tho party that has brought tho country to such a deplorable condition. Tho masses of the people which have voted on both sides are noW coming together as the great constitution al party. They are disgusted with the disorganizing aud revolutionary conduct of the radicals, and With the infamous at tempt to Africanize tho republic by creat iug a negro balance of. power. That is the real state of things; ami if wo mistake not the signs of the times the radicals will bo defeated in the groat Central States, as well as, in the West, at the coming elec tions. The idea that the efficiency of a judge can be ascertained; by the frequency or rarity of the reversals ofhla judgments, is e'o absurd that the efforts of the Radi cal press to fflist' Jq'dgp 1 \yjlji4ln3 into a lirat-olass reputation hy. a parade of the number of times he has been affirmed by the Supreme' Court are simply ridiculous. The science of the law is so intricate in a highly, artifloiabaoclety ilka the present, the questions arising become; sp refined, the distinctions so nice, that, the wisest judges may differ. " And in many instan ces the law is really not established until the decision of tlie highest tribunal is an nounced, so that, the .judges, pf.the infe rior courts suffer np diminution of respect in case their opinions are hot'sustained. A'great deal; too. depends'on the’charac ter of the supervlsing'court. ‘ It isnbtin vidious tossy that there have been many Instan'ppa, both In this country and Eng land, where'the reputation of, the rever sed Judge was shoh that greater deference hashcon paid to the lower than the high er court; 1 to the dissent rather than the ruling of the" court.' To endeavor, then, to bolster up a Judicial reputation by ar tifice's such as these, Is insulting to the intolligeuoo of all to whom It is address-: ed. If it is worth anything, however,,if people can be found so ignorant as to be -misled by Such arguments, wo prbspnt a few facts which we have collected from the records of Judge Bhurswood’s decis ions and labors;He has been on the bench twenty-two years. During this time he' has presided at the Jury trials of four thousand and seventy-four cases.— These are jury trials alone, without ta king into consideration the countless mo tions, rules, arguments', cases stated, ap peals from auditors, warrants of arrest, and the thousand and one forms in which the law 1s administered before the judges in Chambers and in Banc. Of the vast amount of opinions ho, has during this long, time delivered, butene hundred and flftv-six have been called in question by on'appeal to the higher tribunal. At least that is the number which we llud during this long period to have been re viewed by.tboSuprenjo Court. This one fact speakii more in' praise of Judge Siiais wood’s judicial acquirements than vol umes of affirmations could do. 1 hat out of the enormous.numbor of disappointed litigants aud lawyers, but one hundred and fifty-six of them have in twenty-two had the hardihopd to hope that he was wrong; that there was such almost uni versal acquiescence In his judgments, Is certainly greater proof of his fitness than would 1 be the affirmation of every opinion hecoulddcliver. Oftheseouehuudredaud fifty-six cases which we find reviewed in the Supreme Court, one" hundred and twenlyrfoqr were affirmed and but thir ty-two were reversed, Those statements can bo verified by the records of the courts. We doubt if such a record, cov ering so long a period, can bo shown by any other judicial officer in the country. If any conclusions are to 1 bo deduced from such facts, it Is quite evident that the results would he very much In Judge Sharswood’s favor,' 1 A Tuaveleb. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3.186 T.

Denounced as u political game ster, Andrew Johnson is exerting his ef forts to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution from the ruthless and vio lent hands of those who have pronounc ed it “a league with death and aii agree riicnt with hell.” . Maligned as a treach erous Executive, ho stands ready to pluck success from ruin, at'the bauds of men who have gloried in their repeated efforts to dissolve arid disrupt tho Union of’our fathers. Ho is spoken of dally through leadingeditorialsasa” traitor,” a” drunk ard,” a “swindler” And a “liar,” by men, who three • years ago, declared ft treason to speak even ’.disrespectfully of Abraham Lincoln, and who regarded it as among tho gravest of ririmes to openly and crlticlse;the‘acknowledged illegal practic&StOf their,pliant President, moulded in tho hands of his advisers, like clay by the potter. We cannot for get the past. We yet remember the law less acts executed under the semblance of “ loyalty,” and a “ military necessity.” We yet remember : when men were torn by a brutal soldiery, from the bosoms of their families ot midnlght. and with out law ot authority hurried beyond tho linos, or iramhred Within the stony tene ments of an American Bastlle; The sen tinel stationed .before the door of. Judge Merrick, still rises.'up* before us. The public boast to Lord Lyons by Seward of tbo “ ringing 6f his little boll” is yet sounding in our ears.

REPUBLICAN ‘"SOI1EB W»OIIO«IT,’| !Tlie New' York: Nation. with Its careful observation of.the, present condition of the Republican paftyj of which It is one of the ablest exponents; has given some good 'advice to' its readers, which'we de sire to present. , . The Nation thus gives utterance to that sober thought which is becoming- the public opinion of a-very largo class of Be puhlleans here; os In-New. York,.and oth-. er States: “In Pennsylvania, for in stance, they-have been arraying tbem soves against ‘a Judge simply because, in the exercise of his judicial functions, he held the issue of legal-tenders by Con gress to he, ns a matter of law, unconsti tutional—a performantee which the lead ing party organ; the-2W6«ne, to its groat honor, had the courage to denounce.— Now, there are enough Bepublieans In Pennsylvania who care more for Judicial independence than they do for negro suf frage or the Congressional plan of recon struction to bo disgusted by an Incident of this sort, aud either stay at liuiqo oq election day or go into tbo Democratic camp. We know what was done In Con necticut, and what the result was.” When influential journals thus speak, the inference Is very plain. Tile Radical party has overworked Its capital. “ Loy alty" and “ the -Union" and tho “ Boys iu Blue” and tho like Radical olap-tra'p. are worn out. The sober thought of the people is awakened! The taxation of the industry of-the working masses, • while the rich Leaguer with; ilia " bonds 11 picyu no tax; the white laborer made to be the equal aud companion of the negro in ids toll to live; tho'children of the people made' to associate with the children of tho negro in tho public schools; the right of the negro to ride in the cars, excluding white females'; the higli privilege of vo ting to be given equally tq tbp negro with the White man; tub increase of tho cost of government from seventy milliou dol lars under the Democratic administra tion, to now, Jive hundred millions under Radical rule.- The Nation' sees this, aud refuses longer to be led by blind, weak, ignorant bigots. Tbo Democracy Is thus endorsed by. tbo sober thought or tbo thinking inon of tho Ropublioan party.— Tho Radicals, with their efforts to make capital by' repudiating their past Infa mous history, are causing the honest men of the Country to" reflect. Tho-moment reason regains-her. sway, tho Radical par ty loses Ita hold on the people, • BANKRUPTCY MORE PROXIA RLE ' THAN REPUDIATION. The holders of tho United States bonds have something to dread much more ter rible and imminent than repudiation of tho national debt. Repudiation, in fact, is extremely improbable in any event, under any circumstances, or at any time, unless tlie Radicals, having got another four years’ lease of unlimited power, “ outside of the Constitution," should, for corrupt party purposes, “agree” to wipe out the, debt altogether, or to legislate with regard to it Iu some manner that will really and practically cheat those who hold it. The real danger witii which tho bondholders are threatened lies in a different direction, and is of avtry diflor ent character. They have not so much to fear repudiation, as to fear national in solvency. The people have been groan ing for several years under measure of taxation greater, in proportion to actual indebtedness, than that imposed on any other peoplp upon the face of tlie earth. What witii taxes for National, taxes for State, and taxes foi; Municipal purposes, the burden to bo borno is almost intoler able even now. And yet there is no dim inutionofit. Indeed, it is rather increas ing. Tho Radical Rump Congress, ami tho Radical State Legislatures, ami Hie Radical City and Town Councils, in all parts of the land, are augmenting tlie debts of the people faster than tlioao who manage their finances are able to reduce them. The Secretary of the Federal Treasury,. for example, publishes, from time to'time, a statement of the public debt - , in which ho shows a small decrease, and many stupid persons tancy that tlie debt is gradually being liquidated, aud that the taxation to pay it will decline in proportion. And yet the truth is, that the expenditures authorized by Congress, whenever it meets, are far in excess of tho amount of indebtedness that is can celled by Mr. McCullough, and that, ac cordingly,’the burdens of the people are being oontlnually'enlarged in tact, while they appear to he lessening. It is esti mated that tbo coat of registration and elections, in tho South, under the Radical Reconstruction nets, will he twenty mill ions ot dollars, nt least; that tho cost of the troops kept on foot in the five mili tary districts, will, for tho current year, reach forty-five millions; and that tho cost of the Freedmon’s Bureau, is not Jess tliau sixty millions a year. Here, then, is nn expense, per annum, for.tho benefit of tho negroes alone, and which must all come out of the pockets of the white peo ple of the country—principally those of the North—of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS OP DOL LARS! 1 Bat these five items of expen diture are but a drop in tho bucket. If all tho expense that is being yearly caus ed by Radical fanaticism, and corruption and prodigality could be specifically stat ed and summed up in one great aggre gate, tlie people would be astounded by the revelation. And yet this extrava gance la going on under the control of tiio very politicians who are deprecating "re pudiation” of the national debt, and warning the bondholders to keep them in power as the best and surest, means of .se curing their investments In Treasury bonds I We respectfully ask all sensible men to reflect whether, under such a wild course of Congressional Inviahness in pil ing up the debt of the nation, increasing its expenses, and relatively augmenting the burden of taxation, Federal bank ruptcy is not much more probable, than any formal repudiation or tho national debt by any party whatever ? The re sources of tho country are very grout and the patriotic patience of tho people very enduring; but there is a point beyond which both must bo exhausted and give way. Let, therefore, tho holders of Uni ted States bonds look well to this impend ing peril. The camel’s hack is nearly broken. Will they help tho Radicals to place the last and fatal feather on it ? If they do, they will deserve to bo rained. Freemen of Pennsylvania.

On motion of Mr. Spanning, of Ohio, In tiio House of on tho Bth of July lost, an order was adopted to allow the SAME AMOUNT TO MEM BERS FOR NEWSPAPERS AND STATIONERY for that brief adjourned term as allowed for a short term of Con gress. If they will thus rob the people m small matters, what may we not expect on a large scale ? Is it any wonder that these men amass immense fortunes; that . so many of them are able to be traveling now in foreign lands; rioting in tho lux uries and splendors of wealth ? We ask the tax-payers of this county to read over this list of stealings, and then answer the question whether tho party which permits it should again be trusted with favors? The lax-payers now fur nish members of Congress with combs, brushes, soap, pin cushions, fluid ( which means whiskey), corkscrews, &c, All these in addition to the SSJM3O a year sal ary, and heavy mileage. How Jong shftli this waste of the people's money continue? Let us rebuke it at tho polls the Second Tuesday of October. LOOK AT THE ITEMS! WHAT RADICAL LEGISLATURES COST I We think the tax payers will find In tho following statement, which is taken from official sources, a cause for the late extra demand upon the pockets of the people. The difference between tho cost of our State Government now and when In the hands of an economical Democrat ic administration, wo think will open the eyes of those who “ foot the bills,’’— Tax-payers read: In 1847 the pay of members was three dollars per day, and tho pay of officers two dollars per day ; the number of offi cers, pages and reporters in iu the Senate did not exceed 12; officer's, pages, report ers, &c., in the House, about 10. The whole expenses for the session $57,819,19. In 1807 tho pay of members was an aver age of $lO per day; the number of offi cers, pages and reporters was 40; in the House tiro number of officer's, pages and reporters was 82. Tho amount of money drawn from tiro treasury by these attaches of tho Houses for the session of 1807, was #01, 051.08. being nearly twice the coat of the entire session of the Legislature under Demo cratic administration. The entire coat of the Legislature of 1807, including the pay and mileage of members, pay of oiucers, pages, clerks, and hangers-on was $^05,061.10, while that of 1847, under the administra tion of Gov. Shunk, was but $57,819.19, or only a little over one-fifth as great! We append some of the leading items of expenditure, os they appear in the Au ditor GeneraPs report: Senators’ pay, mileage and stationery, $35 477 00 Representatives’ pay, mileage and stationery, 310.01 per day, 107,503 45 liailoy and Kennedy, Preachers, 000 00 .33 Senators and 29 regular officers, 28.503 80 2-5 women, , 021 00 .7 pages 1.270 00 4 reporters, each 8200, 800 00 Contingent clerks, , 4,033 00 100 members and 05 regular officers, draw* 57,630 78 13 pages, 2.359 50 Women: . 1,240 00 Postage, . , 0,250 00 Members having boon appointed to dilTeront committees during the ses sions, for which they charged, . 13.170 CO Miscellaneous, 10,001.01 Total,- 8305,001 10 Think of it 1 Formerly 27 officers, pagr es, and reporters sufiiceqjtho Legislature; now 122 are employed to do the same work performed by the 27! Formerly $57,819.19 paid the entire expenses of that body; uow it takes $205,001.10 to defray the same expenses I Yet, there were In 1807, but 183 Senators and Members the same number as iu 1847* * , FACTS ABOUT THE TAXES. There seems to bo no one thing under the burden of which the people rest, about which so much apathy is manifested as in regard to the measure and manner of taxation. Outside of our assessments for national expenditures, in itself enough, almost, like the old man of the sea, to ride, us to death, there is generally but a poor idea of what we pay and for what wo nay it. Now for a few figures. At the Inst session of Congress an appropriation was made for carrying into effect Southern reconstruction, tiro sum of $2,175,000. This is but a small item of tiro real ex penses yet to bo incurred ns the,follow ing estimate will show : llegistration of voters in every district will cost as least $15,000,000; expenses of conducting elections, $5,000,000; cost of keeping troops through the military dis tricts, 45,000,000, and then the nightmare in the shape of the Freodmen’s Bureau, 00,000,000 more, making for these annual expenses ($125,000,000,) one hundred and twouty-flve millions of dollars 1 . And for what'/ Only to keep open those wounds which the Radicals never Intend to heal. Not satisfied with crushing the power of tile South,aud bringing itfntothoUnion as they once declared the object and pur pose oft lie war, their elihris arc now fur ther directed not only to crushing out their mauhood, but by abnormal decrees to completely demolish the fabric of gov ernment both North and South. But let the tax-payers look still beyond this—to. the rich bond-holders. They bought with gold at 200, getting two dollars worth with one. The Interest on this paid in; gold at six per cent.: but as one dollar was then worth two they are to-day draw ing 12 per cent, in gold, or about 17 per cent, in greenbacks 1 Seventeenpev cent, and no taxes to pay on (ftem t fa it any Botes for /v pypmTTHa'M ewts •jyill DO inserted] lit TcU cent, per lino for tho first Insertion, and five ccuf* per lino for each, subsequent Insertion.

There is yet another interest ing feature in the case. A man worth twenty thousand is taxed no more on his income than a mechanic, who by his daily work, makes $1,200 a year. In tho event of tho first one dying he leaves to his family his whole fortune, while the mechanic, having nothing but his indus try, leaves his family in poverty. Isn’t it a striking picture, men of Pennsylva nia, that the “wealthy and well-born” should thus be supported by the daily la bor of him who is taught to believe him self a slave and a serf ; by him, wno at mid-day and mid-night, both alike, stands In tho dark and dank mine, hundreds of feet down into the vault of the earth, hi the rich beds of our coalfields; supported by him who tills the soil and works tho loom; supported by the laborer and me chanic, while the bond-holder enjoys the luxury these workmen afford. How long, oh! how long shall wo thus bo ridden down? Let,the red zeal of manhood as sert its prerogative and break its iron fet ters. Let it assume to itself tho true worth and merit, and send the cry along the line for retrenchment and equal tax ation. Vote the Democratic ballot and all will be well. BOBBERY 1 SWINDLING ! I As ft heavy burden borne by tho peo ple of the State, we present tho following compilation from tho book in tho Audi tor General’s office at Harrisburg, of Uio expenses of our last Legislature, for which wo ask a careful perusal. Our neighbor of tho Intelligencer seems to have his dreams disturbed by tho corrup tion—as ho alleges, in our county ; will he publish and compare tins with tho cor ruption at Harrisburg, whore tho “ ring” is managed by his own political friends, and give us tho result? It will probably “ carry healing in its wings,’.’ tominis ter to a mind diseased.” Tho Senators’ pay, mileage and station ery, $35,477.00, Representatives’ pay, mileage &c., §107,508.45, Chaplains of both houses SGOO for opening daily ses sions with prayer. Tho officers of tho Senate drew $28,893.80. The pages $1270. - 50. The women $921. And hero let us ask what is the purpose for which these women are used ? There are twenty-five, and the salary would give them $3O apiece. Is that a remuneration for ser vices performed ? Every.ouc cdn.readily see that no respectable woman could af ford to live on that salary at Harrisburg, for that time. What does it mean ? Sim ply this. It is a nominal salary these de bauched and lewd women draw , while (hey live of} the dissipation of legislators. \Yo might as well speak plainly, for. tho peo ple ought to understand how their mon ey goes. Isn’t It then with some degree of coolness, that tho Radical party talks of retrenchment and economy? The offi cers of tho House draw $57,530.78. Tho pages $2350.50. Tho women $1240. Re porters of both Houses $lOOO. Postage paid by State for officers and-* members $9250. Add to this the cost of tho differ ent committees $15,170.09, and wo have the grand total §200,400.50, for one hun drea days' labor. Yet the people see their money squan dered thus, and make no effort to resist the current which goes sweeping by.— They see themselves robbed and sit qui etly down, while tho thief goes on his way rejoicing—they sink into a state of apathy from which no warning can awa ken. them, and unless they turn speedily with a hand to the wheel, and vote tiro Democratic ballot of reform, the waves willengulph them completely. And in this connection, it may bo well to say, that with all tho expenses herein onu metated, a quarter of a million of dollars, there wore passed but scvcnty-ihrcc laws of a general nature. “How* long, oh!— how long?”v> T3io T&c Swindle, The Radical State Oilicials have post poned making the Extra (or Swindle) Tax demands upon the several counties until after the election , and refuse to fur nish a list of the assessments upon the counties yet to bo notified.
