Radical gains. On tills basis what docs the Herald think Grant’s majority will ho in No vember? If 11 the changes iu theso re cent elections”—ns well as hist year’s Democratic triumph in New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware) Maryland, Ohio, and California, don’t squint most decidedly to a “ Democrat ic triumph in November,” we should liko to know which way they do point. It is a very common argument for the j Radical speakers and journals to use, that the laboring man pays no taxes.— There never was a greater fallacy in tlnancos, unless it be the heresy that “ a national debt is a national blessing.” Labor pays tho great bulk of our taxes and in so much as wo cripple the pro ductivcncss of labor we lessen the re sources of the nation. It is all very well to tell the laboring man that he pays no taxes, "but when he goes to tho store to lay in a supply of necessary ar ticles for his family, and finds tho price of every yard of callico and muslin, and every pound of tea, coffee and sugar, increased one or two hundred percent., ho is very apt to come to the conclusion that ho has to pay his own taxes and | tin- rich man’s too, and in this opinion lu* is not very far from right. He may be no adept in finances, but ho ha* in tellect enough to perceive that while for four days’ work in ISBO he could buy a barrel of good Hour; for an equally -rood barrel he now has to work eight days. He Jcnows that for one day’.- work in ISGO he could buy five pounds ol tea, and for tho same day’s work now he can only buy two pounds, lie knows that for one day’s work then , he could buy thirty pounds of sugar, 1 and now for tho same labor lie can only i cam fifteen pounds. He does not need to be told that for a clay’s work, eight years ago, ho could buy eight pounds of lobairo, and now can only got three pound*, lie has already found out that he can only got live pounds of coffee for tlie labor that used to purchase fifteen pounds. His own bitter experience has already taught him that while in 18(10 he could clothe himself and family for one year on the proceeds of one month’s work, it now requires thosrict ost economy to enable him to do so at 1 all. You may talk to liim as you will, I but ho knows that he pays taxes upon 1 the hat on his head and the boots on ; Ids feet, upon the clothes upon his por- I son, tho coal that ho burns, the stove | that ho burns it in and the match that Iho lights the tiro with. Radical orators I expend their eloquence in vain when 1 they seek to close ids eyes to these facts, for the resistless eloquence of grinding poverty is unanswerable. Now let us sec just where the trouble is. Last year an import duty of $32,- (inn,ooo in gold was levied upon sugar and molasses alone. The real value of lids sugar and molasses was not quit® $•*>0,000,000, so that the tariff duties amounted to three-fourths as much aa the actual value; in other words the tariff qlmost doubled the price of the arti •!(■ jo the eon.-umer. On tea a duty of thirty live per cent, in gold was lev ied. From this source alone $8,000,000 were derived, and from coffee $8,000,- 000, so that from these* throe necessaries ol life the enormous Mini of nearly $'n).000,000 was obtained by the tax gatherers. When it. is remembered that arlicb-s arc mainly consumed hy the ina-'-'Cs. it not very hard to see who pay the biL r t‘ii(l ef the ! Min ] ( . ns ~f the country, and win ; te purchase of Migar, tea and cefice alone runs a wav' u itb half a poor man’s income.

Wc heard of one the other day who averred that General Frank Blair served throughout the war as a rebel General!

Our Carlisle Radicals almost went wild over the fact that they j didn't lose the election in Maine ! The wjholo coun try seemed to bo going against them so overwhelmingly Connecticut, New York, Now Jersey, Delaware, Pennsyl vania, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Or egon, California, Montana, Nevada and Colorado had repudiated tho rotten con spirators— and it was no wonder they grew effervescent over the fact that a State which has gone against the De mocracy for nearly twenty years should stand by the cause of the Radicals,— Something must be done to rc-kindle tho dying enthusiasm in the Radical ranks. If they couldn’t raise ono little squeak over Maine, they need never hope to squeak again—so they resolved to “ squeak,” and procured a wind-bro ken drum, un asthmatic A 'e and a coup j le of horse pistols, and determined to have a spirited time of it. The chair man of the county committee supplied the ammunition for the horse pistols, the other stuff they got on tick. And why shouldn’t they have a good time of it, for after all they were not so badly whipped as they thought they were.— What did it matter to tho Radicals of Carlisle that everything else was lost, so long a-' they held their own at/tv/uf (he blue noses of Maine ? Xo matter if Cumbei land county does give a round thou.suul majority for the Democracy, Chamberlain has carried Maine !— Whoop! ’Rah for Grant! “(Rant is 1 sure to bo elected,” said an enthusiastic Radical in our pre.-emc. “ liow soV” finked Wc. “ ll'hy, luivn'f you heard (he news from Maine f” Wo ventured to en quire how many electoral voles Maine had, and lie thought, about hveu-’y thou sand I We suggested that there had been ten or twelve .State elections which had not*resulted quite so favorably for the Radicals. He replied “ who cares for that? Hain't \vc carried Maine f” After all the Radical “ wind-gust” was a harmless affair, and had it not been that several, of the hoys employed to walk in the prnecs-ion were highly cen sured by their parents for staying out so late, tho whole thing would have passed off very pleasantly. Under tho circumstances the individual who imita ted the brayingof a jackass was peculi arly happy and appropriate in his con duct. This being the funeral proces sion of Radicalism in Cumberland county, the ceremonies were very properly superintended by the coroner in prospective, with the assistance of a prominent undertaker. Rcquiescat in pace. ’Rah for Cant and Grab-tax I WHO “SAVED THE NATION?” “The Republican party BavoJ the nation. Jfertihl. Isn’t It pretty nearly time that the ■Radical papers should drop this false 1 mid silly lioast'.’ The Republican party I nut only did not “save the nation,” I hut it didn’t oven do Its share. Almost j every general oflieer conspicuous for ' aidliiy neat inlo the army as a Demo crat, among'! whom it is only necessary ■ lo mention ideltlellan and Grant and Hancock ami Meade and lined and ; Sherman and Dix and Franklin and Sickles and Baker and Couch and Rose crans and Rousseau and McClernand and Morgan and Hal leek and Porter and McDowell and Sigel and even Hen Butler and John W. Geary; while those contributed by the Republican party, with one or two honorable excep tions, proved to he lamentable failures, as did Fremont and Shurz and Vienna Schenck and Howard and Pope and Banks and Milroy and a dozen other incompetents. The Democratic parly not only furnished the brains of the army but they furnished two-/hird« of ail the fighting mitlcrial. Take our own locali ty as an illustration, and it can lie os tabli-hcd beyond all controversy that two-thirds of the soldiers who went from Cumberland County were Demo crats, and they largely outvoted the Republicans in every election, notwith slanding l!ie sicmieless frauds practic ed by radical election ollicers. Dur ing the war, while the Democratic sol diers were away from home and could he cheated out of their votes, the Re publicans carried every Slate in the Union. Mow that the Democratic sol diers have returned, the Democracy are regaining their ascendency. In a sol diers convention called in this county, irrespective of party, the Democratic soldiers’ outnumbered the Republican soldiers six to one. And yet, in the face of tiiese facts, the stay-at home pa triots of the Herald, who never smelt rebel gunpowder in their lives, with characteristic complacency and disre gard for truth assert that “ the Repub lican party saved the nation.” Schuyler Colfax didn’t 'think, when taking a solemn oath in a Know Nothing lodge to exclude foreigners from all political privileges, that it might be possible he would one day be in a position to nsk their votes in his behalf. Wo trust our foreign born citi zens will remember this when they come to vote and treat him as he proposed to treat them when he thought that the infamous party he then belonged to, had a lease of power for.many years.— Don’t bo deceived, honest Germans and Irishmen—this same Radical party with Grant and Colfax at its head, is the same old wolf dressed up in sheep’s clothing. Work fob Democrats.— See that every Democratic voter is legally as sessed. See that no Democratic voter fails for want of naturalization. Seo that no Democratic vote is lost for want of payment of taxes. Seo that no Dem ocratic voter makes business or pleas ure arrangements that will keep him from the polls on the second Tuesday of October. Let every Democrat work from now until the election as if tho result depended upon his individual efforts, and we shall come out of the contest with banners flying and “ brows bound with victorious wreaths.” Work, Dem ocrats, work I C®“As a sample of Gen. Grant’s style of generalship, and particularly his re gard for tho lives of his soldiers, we commend the reader to a perusal of tho following extract from Mr. Grooley’s book entitled “ Tho Great American Conflict,” where, in describing one’ ,! bf Grant’s assaults upon tho Confederate linos, it is thus related : .„V T .T onty ln , lnu tes after tho Unit was llrod fully dor. men simp!:/ am! muWmmslyrefliMU L?'. it Tlioyknow t Imt success was hopeless, andti,o attempt togaln It murderous. hondoUioy reku il to be sacriJUxd Co no purpose/” y THE CAM I-AIOV The campaign scenis to ba progres sing with unusual spirit and activity.— Meetings are being held nightly and clubs are being formed in every town ship. Flourishing organizations have existed for some time in Carlisle, Me chanicsbnrg, Newville, Sivcr Spring and East I Vnusboro. On Thursday evening last, a largo and enthusiastic meeting was hold at the public house of Snyder Rupley, in Paportown, and was ably addressed by Henry Nowsham, F. E. Boltzhoover and Henry K.

The club will meet on Saturday evening of this week at the hotel of David.Z. Geyer. On Friday evening, the Democrats of Frankford township met and organized nt Klosorville.

On the same evening a largo meet ing was held in Ruby’s Hall, in Ship pensburg, but none of the details have b.lvo been furnished as for publication. On Monday evening, the Democracy of Dickinson township assembled in mass at the Stone Tavern. M. C. Her man, F. E. Beltzhoover, George S. Emig and John Cornman, Esqra., dis cussed tlio issues before the people in earnest and eloquent speeches, and a (•lull was formed with William A. Coff ey as President and James M. Keyon as Secretary. The camp-fires of Democracy arc bo ing lighted nil over the coanty, and will be kept burning brightly until they shall signal a glorious triamoh in No vember. Never was there more resolute determination on the pnrt of our forces to snatch victory from the clutches of the foe. In every township in the coun ty our men are united and defiant.— Their warfare is bold, aggressive, as sailant. The Democracy feel that they have nothing to apologize for, nothing to defend. Marching under a flag of thirty-seven stars, to the music of a Union of thirty-seven states, they as sail the infamies of our Radical rulers witli over whelming appeals in behalf of civil government, the rights of the states and the 1 i her Lies of tiic people. Close up the column, men, and let the very earth tremble under the tread of our countless thousands marching, on to victory ! I.iilio.in- lieu II uw j>o You I.lko it? When Democrats wore iti power flour was live dollars per barrel, under the Radical rule it is $l2 to $l6. Thou you received from $1.29 to SI .30 per day for your labor—worth $1.25 and $1.60. Now you get $2.00 a day, worth 51.20. Then taxes were assessed on all property, ac cording to the value, now tho most valu able property is exempt from taxation, and the poor man is taxed on all he eats, drinks and wears'—tho bondholder pays no taxes. Tho man who has $lOO,OOO In bonds, which pay him six per cent, in terest in gold, don’t pay as much taxes as the soldier’s widow who owns a hum ble cottage. When you go to the store and buy a pound ol tea, you pay five cents per pound to keep a standing army in the South—ton cents per pound to keep up the Frcedmen’s Bureau, that lazy ne groes shall bo fed and clothed at your expense, and ten cents per pound to pay tho bondholder the interest in gold on his bonds. Laboring men think of this when you go to tho polls in October.

THE IIOWXi OF DESPAIR. The following from that abolition con cern the New York Independent, shows, from their own standpoint, how desper ate is their chance for Grant and Colfax. We pulish it to give encouragement to our friends. They cannot help but throw down their cause in “cowardly despair,” when even Greeley gives them so little consolation. Hence keep mov ing ahead, friends, do not break ranks, but keep marching in solid columns.— We have them on the hip—Jet us keep them: The Danger of Grant’s Defeat—How to Avert it—By Horace Oreely.— Our friends seem to be almost everywhere resting in the conviction that General Grant cannot possibly he beaten. This is at once untrue and perilous. He not only can, but will be beaten, unless the Republicans use more energy and effi ciency than they have thus far done. Indiana is the only doubtful State which seems to be contested by them with adequate zeal and energy. I trust that Ohio cannot be lost: but, if there be no revival on our side, ttie ballot-boxes will close on the night of the October State election with at least 10,000 more Republican than Democratic votes im pelled. Perhaps we can stand that dis parity, and perhaps not. It is not safe to take the risk. So of Pennsylvania. We were heavi ly cheated there last October; we are likely to be worse cheated now. Her election laws are tolerably good; but the judges in strong Democratic dis tricts sot them at defiance taking all the votes that are offered—especially the had ones. They will cheat us at least ’P-’, 0 . 0 ?, 1 ' 1 outober - Wo can beat them still if every Republican rote is polled. But will they be ? Will Allegheny give her 10,000, Lancaster her 0,000, and oth ers in proportion ? Will Berks, North ampton, Monroe, Columbia, Ac give no more than their legal majority against us? I hope but fear. Now let us suppose that the enemies of human rignts should—no matter by what means—carry Pennsylvania and Ohio m October, winning likewise some local triumphs in other States; what then ? Shall wo not see the very men who now shirk effort, on the plea that Grant cannot ho beaten, lying down in inaction because (they will say) ho is already beaten, and canuot possibly be elected? How swift will be their transi tion from blind presumption to coward ly despair! Tlie States are entitled to choose 317 electors, whereof 139 are a majority.— There should bo no doubt of Gononal Grant carrying at least these: Maine 7, New Hampshire 5, Massa chusetts 12, Rhode Island 4, Vermont 5, West Virginia 5, Ohio 21, Indiana 13, Illinois 16, Louisiana 0, Michigan 8, Wisconsin 8, Minnesota 4, lowa 8, Mis souri 11, Kansas 3, Tennessee 10, North Carolina 9, South Carolina 4.-—Total 159. Hero are just votes enough to elect, with regard to which there should be no doubt. But Ohio and West Virgin ia are desperately contested; and, while we have the most voters in each, our adversaries seem for the present to have the best workers. And while Wade Hampton boldly proclaims that every black who works for a “ Demo crat!” must give his vote to Seymour and Blair or be deprived of work, bread, or home, how can we feel sure that any rebel State will vote for Grant? We know well that thirty thousand of the legal voters of South Carolina will hope and pray that Grant may be elected; but twenty thousand of these may be constrained to vote for Seymour or not vote at all. So of other rebel States. We cannot rely on one of them till the votes shall have been pol led and the result declared. Men and Brethren 1 We must carrv Connecticut, New York, New Jersey ?, n ,i, P f, nns y lvnia for Grant and Colfax. With these—or oven halfof them—tb ere can be no mistake as to the resu'd Without at least two of them all is in doubt. We can carry every one of them, possibly New Jersey, if we be gin at once and resolutely try. Why A Change Is Needed The National debt Is now twenty-six hundred millions of dollars. Le e surren dered on the 9th day of AprU, 1805 : the National dobton that day was twenty three hundred and sixty-seven millions In three years of peace the debt has increased two hundred and. thirty-three millions. The people have paid into the Treasu ry In those three years, fifteen hundred and twenty millions. In 1865, $561 572 - 000: in 1860, $190,034,000, and in 1807 $471,700,000. The official statements show that in the last two months the debt has increas ed $13,238,503. All of this money came from the earn ings of the people, and should have been applied to paying the debt; for it is a mortgage upon all of our property and. encumbers and oppresses us .in our busi ness. Every article that enters into our dai ly ueo and consumption Is taxed to raise this money. The poor man’s tea pays twenty-five cents in gold; his sugar, four cents; his coflee, five cents; the leather out of which his shoes are made the matches with which helights his fire’ the shovel, the pick, the plow uud the harrow, all bear their share of these tax es, and all these increase the cost of liv ing. This system of taxation is more severe on the poor man than tho rich for the necessities of a man (and not his proper ty) are taxed, so that a poor man with a family of six, pays three times as much tax ns tho rich man with a family of two In the year ending Juno 30, 1808, four hundred and seventy millions of dollars were taken from the comforts and neces sities of the daily lives of the people, and were put into the Treasury of the nation. There are thirty millions of people in the Union, and this is more than four teen dollars for each man. woman and child. This is mainly paid injbuying what we eat, drink and wear. About eight days work are now requir ed from the laboring man to buy a barrel of flour, while in 1860 four days work would buy as good a one. One day’s work now will only buy five pounds 4 of coffee, while in 1860 it would buy twelve pounds. The farmer, the mechanic and the merchant, find their profits all spent in the increased cost of living ; in the largo taxes imposed for State, county, munici pal and city purposes; in tho increased . coat of tools, of clothfog, of labor hired, and of taxes upon income, and they have nothing loft. Increase of the debt means increased hours of labor, increased taxes, and in creased privations to tho mass of the peo ple. The Radicals have toasted your money and ought to be turned out. Tlie reconstruction of the South, with the negro above the white man, prevent* prosperity there. The enormous (axes we.pay go to maintain the army and tlu* Freedmcn's Bureau in tho South for this purpose. Instead of us paying over 100 millions each year to do this, the South ought to be put lo work to earn 200 mill ions to help us to pay the debt ami the taxes. Tube away the army and the Bureau and give (he white man an (joad a chance an the negro, and it will he done. They cannot buy our iron, cotton and woolen manufactures as long as we per sist in keeping them poor. Put them lo work to develop their resources, and al low them to aid In governing themselves*, ami tvo will relievo ourselves from a previous burthen. The Radicals have jmt the negro above the while man and ought lo beturuedout. The goor man who owns a bouse and lot, has no right to be taxed to protect the properly and educate tho children of the rich man who pays none, because his property is all in United States Bonds. The Radicals made this system, and defend it, and they ought to be turned out. 3L o c a I items CST* While some of our young ladies take to tho “Grecian bend,” many of our young men prefer the Ameri can “bender.” The Comet.—Any person who has a telescope that will enable him to see one hundred and thirteen million miles, can observe Encke’s comet in the East about two hours before sun rise.

Sowing.—Our farmers are as busy putting out their fall crops as tho weath er will permit. Some two weeks back, the weather was too dry and tho ground too hard to plow. Now it is too wet, but taking it all in all, the weather has been very favorable for farmers, with probably more working days than gen erally fall to their lot at this season. 1 Off fob tub West.— The senior ed itor of this paper picked up his “ car pet bag” on Friday last, and started for the West. Ho goes to Omaha city di rect, whoro ho intends to stop for a few days, and then, should his health per mit, proceed on to the Rocky Moun tains. His many friends, we feel sure, join with us in wishing him a pleasant trip and safe return. The Assessment Lists.— The assess ors for this borough have completed their lists, and it now becomes necessa ry for our political friends to examine them, and if their names and the names of their, friends be not there, to then see that they are assessed at once. Let the interested examine the lists and see that they are properly assessed. New National Currency.— I Tho new fractional currency of tho denomi nation of fifteen cents has made its ap pearance. It is an improvement, as re gards quality, upon any preceding is sue. Likenesses of Grant and Sherman are on the right and on the left ends The back of tho currency is red, which gives tho face a slight tinge of the same color. Tub Cumberland Co.

The two iron spans in the centre of the bridge are completed, as are also two of the wooden ones be yond. There are twelve spans from the iron ones to tho Columbia bank and fifteen to tho Wrightsville shore, ma king twenty-nine in all; with thirteen yet to put up. Indications are favora ble for its completion at tho stated time —Jan- 1 1809—when trains and teams will undoubtedly be crossing. Theatre Coming.— The lovers of the histrionic art will bo delighted to loam that Sherry’s New York Theatre, with a talented and brilliant stock com pany, will open in this place on Thurs day next. Sherry always draws crowd ed houses here, and as he only remains three days this trip, all will have to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the troupe during the week. Instant Relief. —Dr. Rendall, tho celebrated corn Doctor from London, may be found until Friday evening, at the Franklin House.

J., and also from Wes leyan University, Middletown Conn., Dr. Dashiel is reported as one of tin? most able and eloquent ministers of his church. Painful. Accident. —One day last week, Mr. William Hall, a workman employed at Seidle’s Spoke Factory met with a most painful accident while trying to fasten a staple in a stone with melted lead. The hole had been drilled in the stone some time previous, and it is supposed some water or moisture had accumulated in it, as when (Mr. Hall commenced pouring the lead into it, it flew out again with great violence, stri king Mr. H., who was bending over it, in the face and eyes. For a time it was feared that ho would lose his sight, but Dr. Day having removed all the par ticles of lead from his eyes, he is now in a fair way of recovery, though one of them is still very painful, and will doubtless continue so for some time. — Hcchania bury Journal, Hints on buying Goad. —An ex change says that these cool mornings and evenings are very suggestive of Arcs and fall clothing, and that now is the time for provident house keepers to fill up their coal bins, while prices are yet reasonable. Xu buying coal two facts should be remembered. The first fact is that the nearer the approach of a square fracture, or the cubical shape of the lump, the better is the coal; slaty coal shelves oif in slabs and irregular pieces. Fact second, is that the text ure of the coal should bo smooth and glossy. Of course to test this the lump should have the clinging dust and dirt taken off, if after doing this the surface docs not rub off on the hand it is a fa vorable sign. An observance of these two facts by our readers, when they purchase coal, will save them from the annoyance occasioned by the almost daily cleaning of the grate incident to using inferior and ,-laty coal. Not Bad.— “ Lu::.aro Hour” of the Star of the Valley perpetrates the.follow ing which is too good to be lost: Many years ago when Squire Neap was a resi dent of the house now occupied hy Mrs. Sharp on East Main street, a couple walked in from iMifilin township to enlist his services in making them one flesh. Squire received them at the door and upon learning their business, invit ed them in. At the dobr of the parlor they halted, eying suspiciously the car pet which covered the floor, a house hold chattel which neither of them had over seen. On being pressed, however, they stepped in, cautiously walking on a strip of bare floor next the wall whiclp the carpet was too short to cover.— “Please stand out in the middle of the room,” said the squire. Still they hesi tated. “ Why don’t you come?” said the magistrate. “Oh I wo dosh not liketotirty your plankets!” said the' modest groom. Upon being assured that the, plankets” had been laid there to bo walked upon, the happy Teutons stepped bodly forth and were soon pro nounced man and wife. “ Salute your bride 1” was the request of the Justice in compliance with the usages of the day. The bride and groom looked at each other in complete bewilderment. “ Kiss your bride,” said the Squire, perceiving that he was not understood. “Oh!” said the happy groom, bright ening with new born intelligence, “ tish net wot wile, Squire! Wo doo it a kooplo o’ times comm owor!” It is needless to add that the “ Squire” did not insist and the loving couple depart ed as thoroughly married as though they had complied with all the regula tions. No doubt some of their descen dants reside in Mifflin township to this day. snvvnr.r awake. Newvii/le, September 14, XSCB.
