We anticipate our publica
tion day somewhat, and go to press
on Saturday evening with this issue
of THE INTELLIGENCER.
miy- Democratic Head Quarters,
at BARNETT'S HOTEL, on the
night of the election.
One More Fire !
The news from every part of the
State is of the most cheering char
acter. One more fire along the
whole line, Democrats, and the day
is our own.
Beware of Spurious Tickets.
Look well to your tickets, friends,
before you deposit them in the
ballot-box. See that all the names
of the Democratic candidates are
upon them, and that they are
correctly spelled. We have been
informed that there are spurious
tickets afloat, hence the necessity of
caution on the part of our friends.
say- We have seen a letter from
the venerable Gen. FREDERICK HAM
BRIGHT, the father of the brave and
accomplished Col. HENRY A. HAM
BRIGHT, in which he says that the
public should not believe the report that
his son has declined the Democratic nom
ination for Sheriff of this county. The
old veteran writes in a hopeful spirit
as to the result on Tuesday, and is
warmly in favor of the election of
WOODWARD and LOWRIE.
What a Whopper !
The Abolition newspapers are try
ing to elect their shoddy candidate
for Governor by dint of deliberate
lying. For instance, the Lebanon
Courier, of Thursday last, says :
" In Lancaster county nearly all the
prominent Democrats are support
ing Curtin. Mr. STEINMAN, who
was on the Democratic ticket there
last year for Congress against Thad
deus Stevens, is uow nobly support
ing Curtin." This will be news to
Ueneral STEINMAN himself, who is
one of the most consistent Demo
crats in the county, and an ardent
supporter of Judge WOODWARD and
the whole Democratic ticket, and
will preside at the Democratic meet
sir
ing, in Fulton Hall, on Monda Bishop HOPKINS, of Vermont, ! evening. Such barefaced falsehoods
has published a scathing reply to the will surely return to plague the in
protest of Bishop POTTER and other ventors, but they go to show the
Aholition clergymen of Philadel- desperate shifts to which the Aboli
phis. We shall endeavor to - find tionists are willing to resort in order
room for it in our next issue. Ito bolster up their sinking cause.
A Foul Lie
We are authorized by Mr. Him-
TER to say that the language attri
buted to him, as published in the
Examiner of ednesday last, abu
sive of the Dunkers arid Mennon
ites, is false and unfounded from be
ginning to end. Neither at Man
heim or any other place did he ever
utter such a sentiment against these
respectable religious bodies, and the
scoundrel who penned the article is
therefore guilty of a wilful and de
liberate lie.
GET THE VOTE OUT I
See that no Democrat will be per
mitted to stay at home TO-DAY.—
Rain or shine, cold or warm—go to
the Polls yourselves, and see that
every other Democratic neighbor
does the same thing.
Old Men !
Give this one day to your country.
Give this, perhaps, your greatest
blessing to your children by voting.
for WOODWARD and the great princi
ples which alone can save your bleed
ing and distracted country.
Middle Aged Men!
You have children and property
to protect, why then not vote and
work TO-DAY to save all that is
dear to you from that deep and ter
rible gulf of ruin and desolation into
which Abolitionism is plunging us.
God knows, they have nearly de
stroyed the country already. Will
you trust them further? To do so,
would be the heighth of madness
and folly.
Young Ken !
You have long life before you.—
Will you choose the destruction of
the glorious Constitution and Union
of your fathers ? Will you suffer
yourselves to be lowered in the scale
of humanity by making the black
man your equal socially and politi
cally ? Will you destroy the labor
of the white man ? Will you vote
away the inestimable right of trial
by jury, and willingly place your
selves under a military despotism ?
Will you peril all that is dear to you
and your country, by voting to con
tinue the present dominant party in
power? Rather rise up in the
strength of your young manhood,
while you yet have the right, and
speak in thunder tones through the
ballot-box, and let your voice be for
WOODWARD and LowmE and the
whole Democratic State and County
ticket.
Are You Ready ?
Democrats of Lancaster County,
are you ready ? Are you prepared
for the great issue, which comes off
TO-DAY ? Every man should be
brought to the Polls. Vote your
selves, and then go after your neigh
bors. Be on hand all day, and if
there is a WOODWARD man missing,
start out after him. Probably he
may be behind hand with his farm
work, and cannot spare the time to
go to the place of voting. Send him
along, and work for him yourself
while he goes to the Polls. Remem
ber that every vote counts, and do
everything that is fair and honora
ble to get out the votes.
Rally Democrats !
Rally from every' hill and valley,
from your workshops, your firesides,
your counters and your offices.—
Give this one day for LIBERTY,
for the UNION and the CONSTI
TUTION. There are scores of men
who never voted with you before
whc; will do so now. Welcome
them into the ranks, and ask them
to work with you for the rights and
liberties of the people.
One More Charge !
One more charge along the whole
line of the Abolition enemy, and the
day is our own. Rally, boys, rally
for 'WOODWARD and LIBERTY,
and against the cohorts of ABOLI
TIONISM and SECESSIONISM,
those' twin sisters of anarchy, ruin
and slavery—the slavery of the white
race. Once more to the breach,
dear friends, once more, and a glori
ous victory will crown your efforts
THIS DAY.
White Men, Remember !
That Judge AGNEW, the Aboli
tion candidate for Supreme Judge,
when in the Constitutional Conven
tion, favOred the striking out of the
word WHITE in the clause fixing
the qualification of voters.
He thus declared in favor of Ne
groes VOTING. The Abolition
party nominated him and endorsed
his course. Curtin is a nominee
who stands on the same platform,
and must be held to the same re
sponsibility. Freemen, will you
vote for such a ticket, in favor of
such principles ? NEVER! NEVER!
Arever ! ! !
Also Remember !
That GEORGE W. WOOD
WARD, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, moved and carried,
the insertion of the word WHITE into
the Constitution, and now WHITE
MEN DO THE VOTING. WOOD
WARD is the white man's friend, and
belongs to the party that believes
this Government was made for the
WHITE MAN. Then vote for WOOD
WARD, LOWRIE, and WHITE
FREEDOM.
Beware of Falsehoods.
We caution the public against the
false and slanderous reports, of every
conceivable f which are being
circulated against the Democratic
party and its candidate for Governor.
The Abolitionists, in their despera
tion, will stop at nothing to deceive
the people. Believe nothing that
you hear from the Opposition, but
go to the polls and deposite your
votes for those pure men and incor
ruptible statesmen and patriots,
GEORGE W. WOODWARD and WALTER
H. LOWRIE, and the whole Demo
cratic County ticket from top to
bottom.
- The Reign of Rascality.
Honest men of Lancaster county!
We would ask you, in all candor,
whether the State has not been cursed
long enough with the reign of ras
cality which now holds high revel at
Harrisburg ? Your pockets must
be well filled to stand three years
more of such plunder and extrava
gance. The taxes. must fall lightly
upon you, if you are willing to las:ve
them doubled and trebled. AN
DREW G. CURTIN is denounced, even
by the papers of his own party, as
corrupt and dishonest. Are you
willing to give this corrupt and dis
honest man three years' longer li
cense to steal and defraud? There
is yet a hungry pack of contractors
and placemen whose maws are not
filled. Are you willing to help to
fill them out of the substance of
your honest earnings ? GEORGE W.
WOODWARD is known as an honest,
high-minded, honorable, Christian
gentleman. In all the anders that
have been circulated against him,
never one whisper has been breathed
against his purity of character. He
stands above reproach. Oh ! it will
be a proud boast for Pennsylvania
to have such a man as he in the Ex
ecutive chair. Are you not willing
to give every energy in helping to
place him there ?
Let Us Have a Change.
There are hundreds and thousands
of men—white men—in Pennsyl
vania, that voted for Lincoln and
Curtin in 1860, who are now con
vinced that they committed a great
mistake against themselves and
against the welfare of their country.
They have seen the Administrations
at Harrisburg and Washington mov
ing along utterly reckless of the
public welfare, and without regard
to Constitution and Laws, until it is
evident to all who do not prize the
negro above the white man, and pre
fer the interests of the plundering
contractors and corrupt office-hold
ers, to the general prosperity of the
people, that the only hope of the
good old days of our fathers, is a
change from Abolition to Demo
cratic rule. They feel that no change
can be made for the worse, and
therefore their cry is—Let us have a
change ; it may be for the better ; it I
certainly cannot make matters worse.
Hundreds and thousands who voted
for Lincoln and Curtin three years
ago, thus thinking and feeling, will
now vote against Curtin and for
Woodward.
A Damning Record.
Andrew G.' . -Curtin has been Gov
ernor of this State for nearly three
years, and besides pocketing him
self, and squandering upon his
shoddy partizans, the Thousands of
Dollars appropriated by the Legisla
ture for the benefit of her brave
soldiers, he has approved of acts,
passed by an Abolition Legislature,
which have robbed the State of
nearly TWENTY MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ! Look at it.
Sunbury and Erie Rail
road Bill, - $7,000,000
Bills for the merger or
transfer of that Rail
road to the Pennsyl
sylvania Central,
Release of the Tonnage
Tax collected and due
the State, -
Loss to the State from
the repeal of the Ton
nage Tax for the
years 1861, 1862 and
1863,
$19,760,000
Such, tax-payers of Pennsylvania,
is the record furnished you of the
honesty and integrity of Andrew G.
Curtin, by the - Pittsburg Gazette—
the ablest Abolition journal in West
ern Pennsylvania. Has he not sig
nally failed in his duty in protect
ing the interests of the Common
wealth ? And is he not unworthy
of the suffrages of honest freemen ?
Then vote for GEORGE W. WOOD
WARD, who will stand by the wel
fare of the State and the LIBER
TIES OF LEER PEOPLE.
A Fact.
Andrew G. Curtin and the buz
zards claim to be the especial friends
of the soldiers. If this is so, how
does it come that when a soldier gets
sick there is scarcely a hope for him.
They stick him into a hospital and
let him run the risk of getting well
or dying—not• even allowing him a
furlough to go home to see his friends
and die and be buried among them.
This everybody, and especially the
soldier, knows. The pretense of
being the soldier's especial friend is
all a humbug, intended to flatter
him and thereby catch his vote.—
That's all. No soldier of good com
mon sense will allow himself to be
deceived by these hypocrites.
Curtin was the soldiers' enemy
when his buzzards cheated them in
shoddy coats and pine shaving soled
shoes. When to fill their own pock
ets they clad them so meanly that
troops from other States pointed at
them saying, "there goes the ragged
militia of Pennsylvania."
Curtin was the soldiers' enemy
when he conspired in the treasona
ble Altoona Convention to remove
MCCLELLAN-TRE.- SOLDIERS' FRIEND
—from the army Of the Potoma;c.
Colonel Hambright.
The Abolition papers in this city
are very uneasy about Col. HAM
BRIGHT, and would be extremely
glad if he would decline running on
the Democratic ticket. Don't fret
yourselves, gentlemen, about the
gallant Colonel. He does not de
cline the nomination, and if elected
Sheriff, as he deserves to be, will
make a most faithful and efficient
civil officer, as he has always been
in the military service of his country.
Keep Cool.
DEMOCRATS I< KEP COOL on
ELECTION DAY. The canvass
has been exciting and an effort may
probably be made to draw you into
a controversy at the polls. Have uo
controversy with any one. You

DEMOCRATIC VOTE. IN YOUR
DISTRICT IS PUT INTO THE
BALLOT BOX..
AN IHNIENSICI MEETING. J
' Tne Demccraoy of Allegheny county ,held
.an immense Mass Meeting at Pittsburg, on
Wednesday last, which was addressed by
CHARLES INcsasom,, Esq., of Philadelphia,
Hon. Wumem H. WITTE, and others. It is
represented as being one of the largest Meet
ings ever held in that city. Hob. Cantu
SEALER presided.
A number of letters were received and read
from distinguished DeaMerats. Among others
was one from the venerable Jadge WILKINS,
now eighty-four years of age, who was phys
ically unable to be present in consequence of
recent illn se. We make the following quo
tations from his very able and interesting
letter :
" But, physical inactivity, thus naturally
brought upon me, produces no lukewarmness,
or defect of zeal in the just cause sod warfare
of the country, and of its universal and ardent
desire to restore the Union to its happy and
united condition prior to the 4th of March,
'6l.
* * * * If I cannot join on the 7th
and form one of the ardent and mighty mass,
my heart will be in its midst—beeause the
lines of your political course and principles
in the pending election contest, so deeply im
portant in the destiny of our country, are
openly and solemnly marked and defined be
fore the people. * * * * *
But, 0 my countrymen ! above all, in
light or in darkness, in defeat or in success,
in peace or in war, rivet to your hearts the
solemn belief that the palladium of safety to
the people—that their security, either domes
tic or public, are only to be found in that
country where:the mit la , * is supreme, and
in practice is faithfully observed and prevails
above ALL OTHERS! What more can an Amer
ican desire, or to what less can he yield sub
mission ?"
air The above are words of patriotism and
wisdom, and yet this is the venerable states
man and patriot whose name some of the
more reckless and abandoned Abolition pa
pers have been parading forth in their
columns, as being hostile to the Democratic
party and in favor of the election of Andrew
G. Curtin, the shoddy candidate for Governor !
Shame on the men who wonld perpetrate such
a vile slander on this aged veteran in the
great Democratic army of freemen !
" Neither Secession nor the Malig:
nant Fanaticism that caused it will ever
find an advocate in me."—GEORGE W.
WOODWARD.
The above noble sentiment of the
Democratic candidate for Governor
wilifind a hearty response in the
breast of every true patriot and con
servative citizen in Pennsylvania.—
Opposed alike to the Secession trai
tors of the South and the Abolition
traitors of the North, Judge WOOD
WARD plants himself upon the Con
stitution, which is the only ark of
safety in these perilous times for our
beloved Union. Should this price
less legacy of our fathers be ignored
and trampled under foot, as is now be
ing done by the Abolitionists of the
North and their allies in the South,
we can have no Union—no free
Government--but must, from the
very nature of things, degenerate
into mere subjects of a despotism,
and become the veriest slaves of
some future tyrant and usurper.
The Constitution and the Union
is the sentiment entertained and u.-
tered by our noble standard-bearer,
and is the watchword of the Demo
cratic party everywhere throughout
the loyal States. Upon this broad
platform all conservative citizens
stand, and, to use the language of
one of the patriots of the Revolu
tion, " sink or swim, survive or per
ish " in this struggle for liberty,
they will never surrender to the
enemies of their ancient and long
cherished faith, but will prove them
selves worthy of the invaluable boon
handed down from the fathers and
entrusted to their care.

On Wednesday last an immense
Democratic Mass Meeting for the
Tenth Legion was held at Allen
town. It is estimated that there
were,3o,ooo persons present. The
procession is said to have been nine
miles long, and in the line were two
regiments of returned volunteers
and militia of one thousand men
each, who were sent home to vote
for CURTIN ! There were four stands
for speakers on the ground, all of
which were occupied by distinguish
ed orators, and attended by thou
sands of the people, and in the eve
ning an immense meeting was held
in the public square of the town
which was addressed by Col. DAVIS
of the 167th P. V., and several other
speakers. The Tenth Legion is
good for 10,000 majority for WOOD
WARD and LOWRIE.
To show our readers what has
been lost to the State through Gov
ernor CURTIN :having the Tonnage
Tax of $300,000 a year repealed,
and the $700,000 which he bestowed
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
following calculation has been made
by' an esteemed friend. It is very
well calculated to startle the tax
payers, and we commend it to their
special consideration.
An annuity of 300,000 dollars a year paid
semi annually with interest at six per cent.,
compounded semi annually, would amount in
10 years to $ 4,099,799 67.3
20 years to 11.324,779 87.8

giar. Let every man who has paid
the tax of three hundred dollars to
secure a military exemption ' reflect
that he could have lived a lifetime
under a Democratic Administration
of the Government under the Con
stitution., without being called on to
pay one-tenth of that amount to the
Federal Government.
" A tree is known by its fruit"—
Americans are indeed blind if the
experience of the past two years has
not satisfied them as to the Abolition
party. For forty years, or since
1820, Democrats predicted its success
would bring . ,civil war—the North
m
was in 1860 credulous--the results
are known to all men.

Another glorious meeting was held et Lutz's Hotel,

The Democratic Central ( lub was addressed, on Thine

A meeting was held at Wolfert's Hotel, East King street,
on Priday evening, and after one or two speeches, a pro

the end of South Queen street, where several speeches
were made. We have not learned who the speakers were.
A tremendous meeting was held at Lichtenthaler's Ho

was addressed by tis:uurt. U. ROYNOLDS, Esq., JOSEPH S
KEENER, Eaq., and Mr JONATHAN Ceases.. A delegation of
fully one bemired and fifty from the Central Club of this
city, accompanied by the Glee Club, were present.
COLUMBIA INIKETING.—A very large and en
thusistic Democratic meeting was held in the Odd Fel
lows Hall, at Columbia, on Friday evening last, which was
addressed by WE. R. Wlmos, sec, and Mayor BINDISSON,
of this city. Previous to the speeches, a beautiful wreath
was presented by the Democratic ladles of the Borough,
through H. M. Nowr a. lied, to the Club, and received by
Mr. Witsou, on behalf of the Club, In a few pertinent re•
marks.
During the progress of the meeting an effort was made
by several young rowdies of the Abolition stripe to disturb
it, by hissing the speakers!, turning off the gee, and other
outrageous conduct. The leaders in this disreputable
business we understand were a fallow named HIPPER and
T,.tt Fuqua, a son of the celebrated Abolition orator, Col.
J. W. Fieler, who is at home from hi's regiment under pay
for the purpose of abudog Judge WOODWARD and the
Democratic party. These fellows wore donbtle.encouraged
to perform their disgraceful work by older and would ha
considered respectable citizens; but such conduct will
only recoil upon themselves. The respectable people of all
turtles deprecate it, and we should not wonder if the Re•
publican party loses several votes In consequence of this
flagrant outrage on the freedom of speech.
DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTER.--Mr. SAMUEL
J. J. RILEY. one of the heat known Printers in this section
of the Stare, died, after a lingering illness, at his residence
in South Queen street, on Tuesday last. Mr. R. had for
:many year s been connected with the press of this city, hav
ing been resnectivly Foreman of the Union, Intelligencer and
Examiner offices, and was one of the fastest and best Job
Printers we ever knew. Jost after John J. Cochran, Esq.,
was appointed Postmaster of this city, he tendered Mr.
Rant the position of Letter Carrier, and, owing to failing
health, he accepted the !same, discharging its duties to the
entire satirfaction of the public. In all the relations of
life he was au honorable and strictly honest man.
DAN MOE'S GREAT SHOW will exhibit in
this city on Monday, October 19th. afternoon and evening.
DAN is en immense favorite In this vicinity, and the mere
mention that be to coming will be sufficient to insure
crowded and oval flowing ands ences.
Look at it, Tax-Payers !
The Pittsburg Post has taken the
trouble of making an estimate of
the debt of each county_in Pennsyl
vania, supposing the war debt of the
Union at the close of the war,
amounts to THREE THOUSAND
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, which
is altogether probable. The share
which will fall to this State, accord
ing to the calculation of the Post,
will be Five _Elundred Millions—or
one sixth. Of this Lancaster coun
ty will be saddled with about $20,-
000,000, according to her popula
tion, the annual interest of which
will be $1,200,000 !
The Post, it will be observed, only
estimates the population of the loyal
States ; but suppose we take into the
account the whole Union, North and
South, and estimate the population
at thirty millions. Pennsylvania
having three millions, would conse
quently have to foot one-tenth of the
bill, or Three Hundred Millions. Of
this sum Lancaster county's share
would be Twelve Millions, the annual
interest Of which would be $720-
000!
How do the tax-payers 'of the
county like the entertainment to
which they are invited by Governor
CURTIN and his friends ?
MORE PROSCRIPTION
The Philadelphia Age of Monday says :
We learn that on Saturday last Dr. JOHN H.
B. McCLELLeN was removed from the position
he held at the Chestnut. Hill Hospital, the
duties of which he discharged for some time
past wish great ability and entire satisfaction.
This act was the work of Curtin's friends in
this city. The cause of it was simply because
he is the brother of George B. McClellan: Oa
Thursday last they went in company to the
hospital, and the soldiers manifested intense
enthusiasm and delight at once more seeing
their old and much loved commander. No
public man ever met with such vile persecu
tion ,as General McClellan has received from
Curtin and his, followers, and now they have
increased the measure of their infamy by ex
tending their persecution to his brother. Let
the soldiers who fought with General McClel
lan, and shared with him the dangers of the
battle-field, remember Andrew G. Curtin•

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE TO
PONDER
We are indebted to the Pittsburg Post for
valuable facts in relation to the National debt,
the
_proportion which will fall upon Pennsyl
vania, and the heavy taxation which her peo
ple will have to pay annually for an incalcu
lable period. We take the facts as we find
them set forth in that paper, except in one or
two instances, in which we have taken the
liberty to correct what we believe to have
been slight errors.
We assume that the National debt is now,
or very soon will amount to the enormous sum
of THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLT:ARS, of
which the proportion chargeable to Pennsyl
vania will be one-sixth, Or FIVE HUNDRED MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS, the annual interest upon
which will be THIRTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.-
In addition to this, we have the fact that on
the first day of September, according to the
returns from the Surgeon General's Depart
ment, the list of soldiers entitled to pensions
amounted to one hundred and seventy thousand
(170,000). To this formidable list we feel
perfectly safe in adding eighty thousand (80,-
000) more, making the whole number of pen
sioners to be provided for two hundred and
fifty thousand (250,000); and we assume eight
dollars per month to each as a low average.
This would amount to ninety six dollars per
ani.4l'm to each pensioner, making the aggre
gate TWENTY FOUR MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS to be paid annually, of which Penn
sylvania's share—one-sixth—would be FOUR
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, equal to a prin
cipal of $66,666,666.66i, (sixty-six millions
six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hun
dred and sixty-six dollars and sixty-six and
two-third cents) at six per cent. For the
sake of even figures we will call it SIXTY
SEVEN MILLIONS. This will make Penn
sylvania's share of the National debt FIVE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN MIL
LIONS, the interest on which, at six per cent.,
say in round numbers THIRTY-FOUR MIL.
LIONS, she will have to pay annually in the
shape of taxes. Of these taxes Dauphin
county, containing one-sixtieth of the whole
population of the State,will have to pay nearly
FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS. For the sake of
round number's—as we did before—we will
say five hundred and fifty thousand—which
would be eleven dollars for every man, woman
and child in the county; or, computing the
taxable inhabitants at ten thousand, fifty-five
dollars for each one to pry every year.
Let us look at this calmly for a moment in
the light of facts, and see what is the ability'
of the State to meet this demand of five ht{n
dred and sixty-seven millions annually.
The Post, having examined the documents,
finds that the Revenue Board, in 1863. fixed
the value of all the property in the State
real and personal, at FIVE HUNDRED AND
NINETY-SIX MILLIONS. Now in order
to balance the books fairly we must not forget
the State debt, which is, in round numbers,
$38,000,000. Taking then into the calcula
tion the whole debt, State and National,
which we have to foot, and the valuation of
all the property of the State, as computed by
the Revenue Board, and the account will
stand thus:
PENNSYLVANIA. DR.
To her share of the National debt - - $500,000,000
To principal, at six per cent. of her
share of pension list
To her own State debt
PENNSYLVANIA, CR.
By her own valuation of her own prop
arty - - - - - $596,000,000
Balance against the State - - - $9,000,000
So that if Pennsylvania were put up at
auction to-morrow and sold for the full sum
at which her own Revenue Board has valued
her, she could not meet her obligations by
NINE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. That is,
her debt is nine millions more than she is
worth. And this is the result of Abolition
plunder and mismanagement 1 Tax payers

For The Intelligenoer
Sraescuria, Oct. sth, 1883.
Mxssas. EDITORS: A few of the members of a
prominent Church in our ancient and venerable
Borough have suddenly come to want, and therefore
to grief. Although the number of sufferers is very
small, the want is very great. Great emergencies
always require desperate efforts, and our sufferers,
thembeing no newspaper published in the Borough
whereby they could make their wants known, adop
ted the singular method of advertising from the
pulpit of their church. In the absence therefore of
the regular pastor, they Induced one of their num
ber, an individual whom public sympathy some time
ago placed in a position more prominent than he
ever dreamt of filling, to invade the sacred desk,
and there, in the presence of the whole congrega
tion, to proclaim his and their wants. Most of the
congregation left the church in disgust—those who
remained, did so, merely to show the sufferers that
they were not willing thus to be driven from their
proper place of worship.
Now, in pity for the wants of these suffering mor
tals, and for the purpose, if possible, of preventing
a repetition of, experiments in the church and dis
gusting exhibitions from the pulpit, it has been
thought best to make their wants known through
the columns of your widely circulated paper. Those
wants as near as they could be collected from the
verbose eloquence and magniloquent verbosity of the
sufferer who occupied the pulpitare as follows, viz :
Wanted, a very few negroes and negresses to make
their abiding place in the ancient and good Borough
of Strasburg, to live and to eat with, and, if neces
sary, to sleep with an equal numberof the Burghers
of said Borough, who have lately discarded the old
fashioned preference for the white race ; who have
discovered that they themselves are far inferior in
every respect to the negro ; and who are therefore
convinced that the association with negroes would
be more suitable to their intellects and more agree
able to their tastes. It may be observed that, as
the advertisers lost the sense of smell when their
senses disappeared, a very strong perfume would be
no objection.
By giving the above notice a place in your paper
you will oblige the sufferers, and relieve the other
members of said church from the inaletion of Ohl.

OLD STBAt3BTJBEt
I OURT/N ON THE TONNAGE TAX
SWINDLE:
Hear What a Republican Paper hays.
The following article was published by the
Pittsburg Gazette, a Republican paper, pre
vious to the re-nomination of Governor Cur
tin by the Republican State Convention.—
Read it and ask yourself, when you go to the
Dolls next Tuesday, can I vote for a. Man who
has thus assisted to swindle the State out of
$700,000 and an additional income of $300,.
000 a year?
(Prom the Pittsburg Gazette, Wednesday July 22.)
THE GOVERNOR AND THE TONNAGE TA.X.—
We have already treated our readers to a
curious chapter in the history of the admin
istration of public affairs of this State under
the auspices of Governor Curtin. Whether
it was calculated to recommend him for a
second term they will be able to judge for
themselves.
Bat there was another act more damaging
by far, and that was his signature of the IN
FAMOUS bill to repeal the TONNAGE TAX.
He knew and confessed it was ATROCIOUS•
LY WRONG. He could not but know that
it was procured—as has been since shown by
the report of a Committee of the House—by
corrupt and illegal influences. He was sol.
emnly admonished, as was the Legislature,
that it would be RUINOUS TO THE PARTY
AND HIMSELF, and that the men who voted
for it—outside of Philadelphia—would be left
at home by their constituents. He admitted
the probable consequences, as to the party and
himself, and was solemnly and repeatedly
pledged to refuse his assent. He signed'it
with INDECENT HASTE, during a recess of
the Legislature, under the pressure of his
principal counsellors, Thomas A. Scott and
A. K. M'Clure, in opposition to the remon
strances of hie Attorney General [the Hon. S.
A. Purviance, now of this city,] and his Sec.
retary of State. and after having given to those
gentlemen the MOST POSITIVE ASSURANCE THAT
IT SHOULD BE VETOED. He signed it too,
immediately AFTER these assurances were
given, without the knowledge of the former
gentleman, who was his constitutional adviser,
and upon a PRIVATE AGREEMENT IN
WRITING, MADE BY THOMAS A SCOTT
FOR THE COMPANY TO PAY THE SUM
OF $75.000 PER ANNUM INTO THE
TREASURY, which agreement he concealed
from the people, and afterwards surrendered
to the company, without even preserving a
cope of it. When interrogated at the next
session upon this point be admitted the fact
of the ag reement and its surrender, and ex
cused hs conduct on the ground that the
company was actually paying more than that
in taxes to the State already, and that of
course it was of no other value to the people.
The record showed that they had not been
paying the half of that amount, and the whole
statement was contradicted by the testimony
of the Attorney General himself, who swore
before the Hopkins' Committee that the paper
was given by Scott, and placed in his hands
as an official document ; that it was after
wards demanded of him by John Edgar
Thompson, President of the company, on the
ground that Scott had no right to give it ;
that he refused t ) surrender it, for the reason
that it was a public record ; and that it dis
appeared front his office, without his privity or
any knowledge on• his part as to the way in
which it was withdrawn! These facts were
before the Hopkins Committee, and ignored
in their report, the Chairman, (Mr. Hopkins)
consenting reluctantly to their suppression,
for the purpose of securing a unanimous
report, which he could not otherwise have got
from a committee, whose good will the Gover
nor, if not greatly misrepresented, has spared
no pains to secure.
t , A WAR FOR THE NEGRO.',
The Democracy have been fiercely taken to
task because they have complained that the
war has been prostituted to other objeots than
those for which it was begun; but Senator
Loway, of Erie, who is one of the traveling
companions of Governor CURTIN, and in his
confidence, assured the Philadelphia League
that "this war is fur the negro and his race,"
and Cul. Wu. M. STONE, the Administration
candidate fur Governor of lowa, in a recent,
speech made at Keokuk, said—
" I admit that this is an abolition war. It
was not such in • the start ; but the Adminis
tration has discovered that it could not sub
due the South else than by making it an abo
lition war, and they have dune so ; and it will
be continued as an abolition war so long as
there is one slave at the South to be made
free. * * * * I would rather eat with
a nigger, drink with a nigger, live with a nig
ger, and sleep with a nigger, than with a
Democrat."
And yet, the very men who make such
speeches as this are vastly indignant at the
" Copperheads" if they venture to use simi
lar language. Is it not high time that men
should be put in office who will again make
this contest a war for 'the Constitution and
the Union 7 .
KEEP IT BEFORE TilE PEOPLE.

peal of the tonnage tax on the Pennsylvania
railroad company, against the remonstrance
of Hon. S. A. Purview°, -his Attorney Gen
eral, and Eli Slifer, hie Secretary of State.—
Pittsburg Gazette, July 22.
That ho signed it " upon a private agree
ment in writing, made by Thomas A. Scott
for the company, to pay the Bum of $75,000
per annum into the Treasury, which agree
ment he concealed from the people, and after-
wards surrendered to the company, without
even preserving a copy of it."
That he signed three acts of a Republican
Legislature. "Stripping the Sinking Fiend of

VICE PRESIDENT HAMLIN
$805,000,000
Until the recent canvass in Maine, we do
not remember to have seen the name of the
Vice President mentioned, except at the time
he left his seat lie presiding officer of the
Senate to greet WENDELL PHILLIPS, the
notorious Abolition Disunionist. The other
night, however, he made a speech in New
York, in the course of which he said--
"We have a class of men among us in Maine
who very much want THE CONSTITUTION AS /T
Is AND THE UNION Ay IT WAS. Have you got
them here ? [Voices, ' Yes.'] I am very
sorry indeed THAT THEY CANNOT HAVE IT. IT
IS MERE DEMAGOGUEISM, MERE CLAP-TRAP; IT IS
NONSENSE—IT IS NOT VERY GOOD NONSENSE.—
Why the Union as it was? If there are men
in this goodly city of New York who have any
tears over such results, I am inclined to the
opinion that they are crocodile tears. If you
have got those here who have tears to shed
over the Union as it was, I think that would
form a very good sketch for a picture."
As Mr. lIAMI.IN is sworn to support " the
Constitution as it is," those old fashioned
people who have scruples against peijury
must be highly pleased to learn "it is non
:ewe" to expect that their rulers will obey it.

NEW ROMANCE BY MRS. ANN S. &Inman.
—Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers announce
as almost ready for publication a novel by
Mrs. Stephens, entitled True as Steel," the
story, incidents and characters being all
American. It is some time since this popu—
lar authoress has presented a new work, and
we have no doubt that " True as Steel" will
bap received with great interest by her many
gdmirers. A fresh American romance will
be a genuine treat, and we hope to enjoy it
in this new book of Mrs. Stephens. •,'
