Skelly's gang also went ; the men east of me wont ; in and around Philipsburg there were about 100 men the day of election; they were quar tered at Mr. Keplar's, Mr. Gray's, Mr. Ear- Xis's, and Mr. Donehne's ; I was in Philips , burg all day, Most of the4ime at the polls ; the polls are in the same building; I gave two men tickets ; Sheriff Perks and Mr. Lede distributed tickets ; Lede was a walking boss on the road ; I saw them giving the men the •tickets ; Sheriff Perks borrowed a sheet of tickets from me to have others printed; the tickets were all Democratic; about all that were on the ground voted ; all had natural ization papers ; obtained them, as was said, in Luzerne county ; this one- on the table is similar to t.h6Bl4l3l . Elitiy were colored ; the men said they obtiairleal or arranged for the papers two miles out of Clearfield, on Saturday evening before the election iu a shanty kept by Mrs. Lynch ; they said two lawyers came from Philadelphia, and after they were sworn Lede took possession of the papers, and that he colored them with coffee ; the day of the election the men were handed the papers ; Mr. Lede at the same time fur nished the tax receipt [a receipt shown wit ness, and Identified as similar to those used; ] I did nothing while in.

Nigger in the Democratic Wood- Pile. In our toy shops is to be found a box, all quiet and fair to sight, and which seems innocent of any alarming contents. And yet by touching a little wire secured at the bottom, up springs a nigger, to the great alarm of the unsuspecting juvenile spectators. In a political sense, the Democratic party has become a huge box of this de scription, and the men at the wires are beginning to pop up the nigger, by way of familiarizing their gaping followers with his heretofore abhorred features. First, the editor of the New York World let Sambo out of the box, with a two hundred and fifty dollar property qualifi cation pinned to his political status. Then the Southern Copperheads, at the late election, lifted the ' ignorant cuss" clear from the box, and placed him square on the Densoc,atie platform as a " conser vative gentleman of the old school !" And now Tom Florence, for ten years Demo cratic Congressman from Philadelphia, and at present editor of the Constitutional Union at Washington, claims the Ameri can citizen of African descent as a man and a brother, and demands for him a vote, with no other qualification than his manhood Now our readers will recollect that when this question was first generally broached, and began to assume formid able political proportions, we predicted that the day was rapidly arriving in which the Democratic party would make extrav agant bids for the negro vote. And lo ! that day is now dawning. The old Cop perhead war cry of, " Do you want a nig ger to marry your daughter ?" has almost ceased to terrify the unterrilled at Demo cratic meetings, and wool has " riz" in the Democratic market. Come in Sambo, come in soon, While we make a fire iu the front room!" will soon be the burden of all the Cop perhead campaign songs of the country. The venerable Rabbi Naar will pitch the tune upon his Jewsharp, and Major Wilson will cease et bounding the con stitution while he takes a drink from the same bottle with the redeemed progeny of Ham. Chauncey Burr and Wendell Phillips will lie down together, and a lit tle nigger shall lead them ! 0, what a convenient thing is Demo cracy ! The leopard cannot change his spots, but thanks to Democracy, the Cop perhead can change his skin ! NSW COPPZEMIAD SONG. Come politicians in distress, This white and nigger wedding bless : Democracy proclaims the bands, As necessary to her plans. To the bar and take a *gar," With each Democratic nimar.

One thousand first-rate places are opened for one thousand boys who can come up to the standard. Each boy can suit his taste as to the kind of business he would prefer.

POPULAR FALLACIES.—That when a lady enters the horse cars, by poking your head out of the window, or feigning sleep, you will avoid being requested to vacate your seat for her accommodation, or that you 3v11117e "thanked by her for doing so. That the boy who has had the luck to slip into the circus unobserved, by crawl ing under the canvass, is happy. That there is poetry in every verse that rhymes. That every young lady who happens to look at .you, is dead in love with you. Remember that, " Though a bee lights upon a sower, It soon dies off again." That a milkman can stand in his wa gon, and frewthe middle of the street sling a. pint of milk into a pitcher every pop_, without spilling some. That every.young man who parts his hair behind wears elean socks. That every young gent who shaves, has a mustache. That the horse you stake your money on, will always win. That the father of the young lady whom you visit, likes you because he does not set the dog on you. That you can wear a " turned " paper collar without its being noticed.
