S AC It ED To the Memory of the COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM OF NEW YOUN, Wkiell teas burned In asbeg, July, 18C3, by a 7wffianly mob, who were ac knowledged and athirrsSed by 11ORA 7'lo .IEI%IIO UR, GOVERNOR on NEW YORK", as beiug his " F IE N S . God save the State nf New re,rk day night they attempted to get up a meeting, but failed entirely—it was worse and more ridiculous than any fizzle ever witnessed here. The few- who composed the crowd were fair specimens of Sey mour's friends" in New York, July, 1 r , 63. Had Pit Schwefflebrenner been here to witness this outburst, his last spark of Copper democracy would have been extinguished, and llevvy would have been a happy woman just 011(3 week soon er. A young man from Allentown, fig uring as a speaker, said his piece. He was followed by our Cop. Congressman, and Lawyer Siewers. The latter made an excellent speech but he didn't say any thing—not even a word about mggers m arrying the wives and daughters of dem ocrats and " sich." tatipr q4ips. IN its issue of April 11, 1865, the New York World said : " General Grant's last brilliant campaign sets the final seal upon his reputation. It stamps him as the superior of his able antagonist as well as Of all the commanders who have served with or under him in the great campaigns of the last year." Now, the Worldcalls Grant a "blunder er and a butcher." Who is silly enough to follow the lead of such a journal? AMONG the banners carried at the great Republican rally at Rock Island was one having the following acrostic : IJ See Good Radicals Are Never Traitors ALL those who prefer to follow the lead of Hampton and Forrest, go for Sey mour ; those who prefer to follow the lead of Pleasonton and Kilpatrick and Sheridan, go for Grant. The pirate sail ors who did not go clown to the depths of the sea in the Alabama go for Seymour; the gallant tars of the Kearsage, with Winslow, go for Grant, and so will the brave tars who helped to lash Farragut to the maintop of his flagship, and with him destroyed the Tennessee and the last rebel fleet in the Gulf. SOLDIERS, BEAR IN MIND THAT THE DEMOCRATS OPPOSED THE BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE IN 1864 ALLOWING YOU TO VOTE ; AND SEYMOUR VETOED A SIMI LAR BILL IN NEW YORK. LET US HAVE PEACE. From hallow'd ground, From martyr's mound, From widow's breast, From grief oppress'd 4 From sire bereft, In sorrow left, From every sod The slain have trod ; From every flood, Once tinged with blood, From plenty blessed, From toil oppressed, From hill and dale, From every vale, From rock-girt Maine To Western plain, The prayers increase— " Let us have peace." WRY will the October election in Pennsylvania be like the letter It ? Be cause It will be the last of Seymour and Blair. ORGANIZE thoroughly. Canvass close ly Watch diligently. Conquer glori ously. Joz BRowN, of Missouri, is out for Sey mour and Blair. Here is the way he renders the " Union Forever:" Blairmore forever I Sey-hie-harrah! Down with—hie—up with—hie, hie; hick— hurrah! And we'll—hick—around the greenbacks. nick—once again, shouting the battle—hic—of freedom—hie I A WASHINGTON despatch says that "Betting_ here is quite lively just now. A New Yorker reached here on Saturday with $40,000, which he says he is ready to bet—giving odds of two to one—that New York will go for Grant in Novem ber. He has been scouring around the hotels, and reports that he can get no takers." A WESTERN paper says, " Imagine Seymour President." That is a littte too much. Not even Democratic imagina, tion hereabouts, although almost equal to any strain, can quite go that. 11ENDRICR B. WEIGHT, of Luzerne county, always a " Democrat," goes for Grant and Colfax. The doors are still open, but you must come quickly. WHY is it so hard to get A. Johnson out of the Presidential chair P—Because he went in tight. W. H. ENGLISH, former Democratic member, of Congress from the Second district of Indians, now supports Grant and Colfax. DON QUIXOTTE THE fact that Mr. Horatio Seymour does not read the news from Maine and Vermont in the same light as foolish Democratic journals, is evident from the telegram to Mr. Pilsbury, late Democratic candidate for the Governorship of the Pine-tree State. After reading the news from Maine, he telegraphed as follows : "THIS IS TERRIBLE ! Where are the victories you promised us?" The Portland Press gives this despatch, and challenges contradiction. Poor man when the news from-Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana reaches him, he will have good reasons to give vent to his disap pointment in still more pitiful language. DICEY goes for Seymour, but Dix don't. Vote early ! ALL naturalization papers issued by the clerk of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, signed by Snowden, are fraudu lent. Reject all votes offered on such papers. Vote early. THE Reading Eagle says Gen. Dix is " a sneaking loil coward and a humbug." Only a little while ago a number of Cop perhead papers like the Eagle were out in favor of General Dix as the Democratic candidate for President. Vote early. SEISATOR DOOLITTLE, in a recent speech made at Reading, said the battle of Bull Run was unauthorized by the Constitution ! That's so. Vote early ! THE Democratic procession in Reading the other day was seven hours in passing a given point—the given point was, of course, a drinking saloon. Vote early A VOTE was taken on a Pennsylvania Railroad train last week, which resulted : for Grant, 66 ; for Seymour, 10. An old lady stopped the canvassers and remark ed : " I can't vote, gentlemen, but I'm going to keep one Seymour man at home." Vote early NOT a rebel was hung for his crimes. But since the close of the war thousands of loyal men have been murdered in the South for their loyalty. This is a fact which should stir every drop of patriotic blood in Northern veins. A VOTE was taken on the Cumberland Valley Railroad, on Thursday of fast week, which resulted as follows : Grant, 133 ; Seymour, 14. A straw. A NOVEL election bet was made at Co lumbus, Ohio, on Friday. If Ohio , Penn sylvania and New York go for Seymour, the Republican better is to give a cord of wood to a poor widow, and saw and pile it up. If they are carried by the Repub licans, the Democrat is to bring and cut the wood. TILE Democrats, who are now enraged at General Dix, our Minister to France, for expressing his preference for Grant, have also a chance of tiring a few shots at General Hovey, our Minister to Peru. General Ilovey says that no loyal man can hesitate a moment about voting for (; , rant, and that the thirty thousand Indiana troops whom he (flovey) com manded cannot possibly entertain the thought of embracing the principles of the "Butternuts," who but lately were tiring in their rear. Bt...utt is blowing his horn in Pennsyl vania. It has the N. B. Forrest toot! He blows his horn at political meetings, and takes it at the hotels. DEmocuATir papers still affect to de spise Grant's silence. They would !.ive all their old roosters, though, if they could tie up Blair's tongue. TIIE New York Herabl says Grant will carry New York State. Vote early. THE Democrats !rained one vote by the discharge of Surratt. Vote early! SEYMOUR, during the war, was just as much the enemy of his country—just as much a traitor as Vallandigham, Jeff Davis or Wade Hampton. Vote early ! IF you don't want to lose your vote, don't bet before the election. If you don't want to lose your money, don't bet on Seymour and Blair. Vote early THERE is a Democrat in Easton who hasn't washed or combed himself for eight years. He is clown on water for any purpose. Vote early ! How quickly the expulsion of the col ored Representatives from the Georgia Legislature ripened into the armed and preconcerted attack upon them as citi zens peaceably assembling at Camilla! Blood hounds, daggers, revolvers, and murders are the growth of an hour of Democratic sway. BRICK POMEROY is likely to lose all the money he made at La Crosse in New York city. His new daily," The Demo crat," which began with a circulation of 25,000, has already fallen off one-half and is still decreasing. Brick is about played out. The November election will be the finishing of him. THEY have Ladies' Tanner Clubs out West. At Pekin, 111., they turned out in the Grant and Colfax procession, all dressed in beautiful and appropriate uni form and each bearing a lighted Chinese lantern. They were regularly officered by their own sex and led by their own drum corps, composed of misses in their 'teens, who handled the sticks like veter an drummers. The West is alive with enthusiasm, and Grant and Colfax will sweep every State. TAX the necessaries of life, bread, meat ? clothes, etc., equally with the luxu ries, is the Democratic doctrine loudly proclaimed, and one on which they ask the votes of Workingmen. Will they get them? ALLEGHANY promises 9,000 majority for Hartranft and Campbell. The "OLD GUARD" will respond to the tune of 6,000 JAMES THomrsori, member of the Democratic National Committee from Ohio, has come out for* Grant and Col fax. IN . a Democratic procession at Western Reserve, Ohio, one of the transparencies bore a motto eulogizing Jefferson Davis. THE Richmond county Gazette, N. Y. edited by a Democrat, heretofore neutral in politics, come out for Grant and Colfax. fax. FA_TII EAIP, A.BRA_IIA M. IN one township in Wabash county, Illinois, thirty Democrats recently called a meeting - , and all signed a pledge to vote for Grant and Colfax. A VoTE taken in the Clearing Home of the Associated Banks of Philadelphia on Saturday morning, resulted: For Grant, :Is Seymour 2. PLAT.% spoke from notes at Indian apolis the other day. That is nothing new for him, however. Ile always takes down his p'ints before speaking. THE Che s ter County Journal published at Downingtown, heretofore a n eu tr a l paper, has hoisted the Cram and Colfax flag and is doing good service in the Re publican cause. THE New York 116.01 , 1 . tl3 - s y ew Y or k city will double the it:Tublican vote of last year, and that Grant and Griswold will carry the State in November by a sweeping majority. Tennesse, held its muni cipal election on Saturday, and Allen. Radical, was re-elected Mayor by 520 majority. All but one of the Alderman and two of the Councilmen were Repub licans.

THE TANNER'S CLUB of this city turned out between 400 and 500 strong on Friday evening, the 2d instant ; also on Tuesday evening last. They made a fine display, and attracted much attention. THE RIOTERS.-A number of the "un washed" engaged in the riot of Tuesday, the 29th ult, have been arrested. It would be a blessing to the community if they would all stretch hemp. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
