TueCurtin IIaiskd. The announce
ment that Ex-Gov. Curtin, has de
clared for Buckalew and Groeloy has
thrown the loyal hosts into confusion.
And his nomination by the Liberal
Republican State Committoo for Dele
gate at Largo to tho Constitutional
Convention, still td Js to tho confusion.
This step of tho Ex-Govornor smashes
tho Harlranlt-Cumeron-Mnckey King
all to pieces, and brings overwhelming
defeat to tho State robbers. It is tho
last straw by which tho Iting Camel's
back is broken. This movement gives
the State to Buckalew by 30,000 ma-
Ta Addrksses. We Invito the at
tention of our Democratic friends to
tho address of tho Chairman of the
Democratic- Slate Committee, and ulso
to that of tho Chairman of our County
: Committee. The campaign is now
fairly open, and it behooves every Dem-
' ocrat to put his shoulder to tho wheel
and try and got the "machine," (as old
Abo Icrmod it,) back on the right track
again, so thai froo government is jeop
arded no longer. Democrat, don't
try to see how little effort you can
' mako to help got bad men out of oflico,
and ull tho whilo keep puncturing your
neighbor for not pulling his shoulder
to the wheel, but take hold of tho
work yourselves, without any "ifi,"
"amis" or "butB" about it If each
does his duty, the triumph will be
uy, and the victory over money, cor
ruption and bad men a glorious ono.

Wa happunod to pass by the
Grant headqnai'lora on Broad tlroot,
I'hiladolpliia, on the evening of the
lOlli, and for a short lime listened
to our lute townsman, II. Bucher
Swoopo, dealing out nnndult'oruted
loyal billinrfgato. ; For bold prevari
cation and firat class Blunder, it wait
tho host effort of liis lifo. JIo lins im
proved in this diroclion wonderfully
inco ho joined tlio Curuoron corrup
tion ring. Ilia vulgarity caused tlio
eyes of the aristocrat of the Wigwam to
snup as though ' ihoy wore sprinked
with red popper, while llio rabble shoul
od and roared like so many wild beasts,
It wus a rare mlxturo of aristocracy
and vulgarity,
Tho Philadelphia rrcsa of the noxt
morning thus alluded to tho speech in
question I
"At a moctinir at tho Wigwam, Broad
street, hint night, II. Buthcr Swoops
mnao a sport n tietonuing jinrusnii
from tho well proven charges against
him. In tho course of his remarks
Swoopo produced what purported to
be letters Irom Charles T. Terns to
llartranft, denying that he signod
the affidavits convicting tho King can
didate of malfoasanco in office and
apologizing to him for the ox lii bit mndo
by bis books. With what bwoopo
said about Dr. William Ptino wo have
nolhinir to do, savo to say, in pnssinir,
that his remarks concerning the Doctor
wcro not of a nature to cover him
(Swoopo) with glory. Swoopo ulso
indulged his nature and grktincd the
instinct of some of his auditors by one
or two personal allusions to the editor
of The Press, which originated with
Andrew Johnson somo yours ago when
maudlin with whisky. Howover, tho
United States District Attorney lor
Western Pennsylvania requested that
The Press should "lot up on him oasy"
(his own words) with regard to his
spoech lust night, and wo thervforo al
low him to vent bis rowdy rhetoric
without any furlhor notico.
About tho atlidnvits ovor which
Merry Androw bas waxed wroth, in
tho absence- of any evidonco savo
his assertion that they are forgeries,
wo hold to their gonuiuoncss. Alder
man Dougherty, before whom they
were made, bas said that tbey wore
genuino, and his word is to be prefer
red to that ot a hired defender ot fel
ons. 2cxt the porson in nnostion will
bo denying that llartranft ever had
any connection with Yorkcs, that ho
evcrBpcculated wilb anybody's money,
that he and llobert W. Mackcy
igned a polilion (which boro no
other signature suvo one) praying tho
Governor to pardon Marecr k Yerkcs,
and, in fact, that he evor held the
oflico ot Auditor Goncral."
OrriciAL IUsca L!TY.Tho villainy
of the Grant administration is fully
established when we stato that the
clerks in tho Ponsion and Bounty
bureaus are engaged in sending out
campaign circulars with thoir official
papers.' Every pensioner and appli
cant for bounty or back pay is being
furnished with tho prospectus ot two
iuidical campaign books, entitled
"iloro than 100 reasons why Grant
"should be elected Presidont in Novem
"ber noxt" and "More than 100 reasons
"why Grocley should not bo elected."
"These works aro fully endorsed by
"tlio Union Lcuguo of Philadelphia."
Tho enterprise of tho publisher is coin
mendublo, but the rascality of the gov
ernment officers engaged in this busi
ness is damnable. II. G. Sicklo, of
Philadelphia, is the Individual who is
prostituting his official position to this
low measure
Can't Git In. Mora than a score
of porsons have made application at
tho office of Auditor General llartranft
within the pnst six months, for the
purpose of looking into the affairs ol
tho Treasury, but tho books are not
to bo seen, although they aro poblio
records. Tbe lust attempt was by a
correspondent of the Press who called
at tbe Aaditor-Goneral'i office and
endeavored to obtain a copy of the
list of banks, brokers, and olbor per-
sons with whom the people's money
is deposited, but was refused it. He
was not suffered lo make a few memo
randa Irom the tell tnlo record, though
tho law requires that it shall be opened
for tho inspection of citiaons, and
thcrcforo docs not countcnanco any
attempt at socrocy
Such aro the ways of our Radical
agents, who see in to act as though
they owned both the people and tho
Treasury,
Would not Bite. Ex-Gov. Curtin
refuses the nomination for Congress
tendered him by the Grsntites of the
Eighteenth district. Tho Governor
has been oficrod everything by the
Grant party within the last three
months, except Grant's own place.
Committees hnvo followed him all
ovor Europo, still ho is for Butkiilow,
Grcoloy and Peace.
Come to Tin Meeting. Democrats,

The Slate Election,
An able writor and a moralist of

his accustomed force, that lie - who
coins his eonscionco to buy prosperity,
has lost bis manhood for the sake of
dcoorating . liia corpso with ' a more

no would commend this granuiruiu
to tho solemn attention or those, espe
cially the younger class of voters, who
aro tempted Irom any cause to voie lor
a dishonest mun for Governor and for
Auditor General. Wo would oom
meud it the more especiully to those
who wran thoinsolvcs up in their self-
righteouxnoss, and claiming all the
virtues for their own tiolilicul frionds
kindly deliver ovor all the evil things
to the other side.
The man who claims that ho is lion

respectability and enjoy tho luxury
of a conscience, must have a hnrd lime
of it when communing with himself

and success will muroly give him lliico

pronch. Ho will have ooiuod his con
science, not to bul personal prosperity
but to gain an empty triumph over
bis political opponents, and at the cost
of his own soil-respect and tho honor
of tho Statu. Tlio young man who
votos for 11 ait rank will be voluntarily
sullying his own higosl privilego as a
cmzon, lor tho prom ol a circle oi
politicians who laugh at him while
they uso him j lis w ill be coining his
conscience beneath the prossuro oi

imago and superscription which will
haunt him, in his houest awakenings,
like Iho horrible memory ol a youth,
lul indiscrotion, which in his more
maturo years bo would fain blot out
for over. - i
Loso not your manhood. Do not
pormit any influenoo, howover potent,
to sworvo you from all your honest
instincts. liy your love of country,
we implore you to give your most
efficient aid to prevent tho two high
est offices of tho Commonwealth from
falling into the bands of two of the
most woi'tu'oss and unprincipled men
within its bounds.
To men who profess to be honest
upright Christian men, do wo appeal
most earnestly not to coin Ihcir con
sciences for tho sake of a triumph,
which if gained, will onure only to
their own disgrace and confusion. .A
triumph which would put us in the
power of tho man who ooined his con
science to buy prosperity, by appro
priating tho publio money to his own
private uso; who gambled in tho slock
market of Philadelphia, using tbe sur
plus lund in the Treasury lo wager
with who connived at the infamous
Evans larceny, and whose colloague
in crimo the man who checked j0,-
000 out of the Treasury to pay his
own debt is now traversing the Stale
from end to end, begiuig and entrant

John F. llartranft, fo mm himself from
ruin.
With John F. llartranft in tho Ex
ecutive chair ( with Harrison Allen in
the Auditor General's office ; and such
a State Treasurer as a Cnnitron logis-
nturo would cive as, the Mate ol
Pennsylvania would be in the hands

already coined their consciences to

Uur Lord, inl'i, it becomes necessary

Tho infusion of Cameron-ism in the
politics of the Stato has, for the lust
twenty-five years, been only evil and
that continually. We have bocn going
down inlo still lower depths from year
to year, until now a State Convention,
claiming to represent the morality,

State, asks the wxlo to choose the

who in the Sonato, voted to rob the'

of degradation, God save the Common
wealth. Pittsburgh Post.

Among the facts established in re
gard to the record of tho ring candi
date for Governor, may be enumerated
the following :
He ha been convicled at the bsr of
public opinion of gross neglect of his
official duties as Auditor (ioncrul.
That In consideration of violating
that duty he accepted a bribo of seven
thousand dollars from Evans, the de
faulter, for which ho gave, pro forma,
his I. O. V.
That John F. llartranft nsed his
official knowlcdgo as Auditor Gcnorsl
to gnmhlo in railroad stocks and lo
spcoulato in tho debt of the Common,
wealth. '
That John F. llartranft in his ra
pacity and greed osod the money in
tho hands of Major Calhoun that had
been set apart for Ihe pensions of wid
ows and orphans in his stock gambling
operations.
Hint jonn r. liaririum is me crea
ture of tho Cameron ring, and that his
election to the nflioo of Governor would
fncilituto the intrigues of Simon Cam
eron to again obtain a scut in tho Sen
ate of tho United Stales, in deliuneo
of tho will of the pooplo of Pennsyl
vania. That tho Cameron King, tlio Treas
ury Ring, tho Legislature Lobby Ring,
tho Purdon Ring and tho Philadelphia
Municipal Ring are using ovory cor
rupt agency within their reach lo do
fcal the election of an honest and up
right man in tho porson of Cliarlos it.

Toot the election of John F. llart

confirm the evil and arrogant power
of theso rings that have done so much
to bring dishonor and reproach on tho

Ilomomber that all the grave charges
made auninst tho King cnndidiilo for
Governor aro cither proven by official
documents, or by the testimony of tho
best and purest Kepukhcans in 1'enn-
sylvama. They cannot bo branded
as "copporhcad lies."
An intelligent corrospondet of tho
New York Han comes lo tho following
conclusion : ' Tho situation may be
then briefly summed up. The Grant
party is divided in support of HurU
rnnlt, and tho Uemocrals and Luberal
Republicans are united in fuvor of
Buckalow. "As Pennsylvania goes so
goes Iho Union."

Bosom friends cannot always be
relied upon when testifying against
their own interests. Theodore Tilton,
until lately, was a warm supporter of
Grant. In bis Issue of the QoldcnAgr.,
of thea14th, in speaking of the "gov
ernment," ho aays : - ;
The Grant Convention in Kansas
refused to rebuke venality and cor
ruption, out of regard to tho feelings
of Senator Pomoroy and tho President.
Such consideration deserves mention
It shows that there are mon who will
not go buck on the man- who bought
thorn. . . .. . ,-, , : ,.
Galona-Jonos, who gave Gen Grant
tho deed of a valuablo property for
one dollar, and immediately received
an appointment to a foreign mission,
was also a brother-in-law, but of Min
ister Washburne, whom tho President
complimented with the Premiership.
So it would seem that the brother-in-law
dlseaso is contageous, and to sus-
,',t rolntionshin to aw of the
Presidents la von too Is to catch an
office. , , i 1 1
One of tho papers commoude Gon
Grant's quiet, straightforward way of
doing Ins duty In reuard to the civil
sorvice reform. Considering that bis
way consists in quietly ignonnir the
whole matter, breaking the promises
he hus made, and using tho offices oi
the nation to pay his personul retain
ers with, tho intonded compliment
becomes a terrible satire. It is a pity
that somebody cannot invent some
thing that lien, urant can bo praised
for without having the commendation
turn into au accusation.

cans who will vote for Buckalew for

llartranft, is our chitllcniro to any rinir
organ in Pittsburgh." We renew this
oiler for Unuphin county. Soma tune

named one Democrat agninst Greolcy,
but was compelled to buck out. : Since
then it hss not been heard op tho sub.
