THE .E.vpresx never even alluded to the action of the National Labor con vention at Chicago, in which the Republican Congressman Kuykendall introduced a resolution which was unanimously passed, demanding the taxation of government bonds. All the other Republican papers in this State have been equally silent. The taxation of all such bonds is openly advocated by the Republicans of the Northwest. le that repudiation, or not? The Reaction. The change of twenty thousand each n the comparatively small votes of the States of Maine and California, is ex tremely significant. It is an early and startling symptom of the deep reaction' id sentiment now ,progressing among the people. If it is followed in the same proportion throughout the country, it will produce apolitical revolution with out example in our history. It can be explained on no tea-pot theory of ob noxious nominations here and local issues there, for many obnoxious nomi nations and local issueshave been made by and •with the Republicans for five years past, without any such result. The cause of the convulsion, which shakes at once the shores of the Atlan tic and the Pacific, will be fourid deeper and more pervading, and must be sought for in national measures and the works of national politicians. ('an we find any adequate cause for it there? The year 1867 has witnessed greater outrages upon our system of free gov ernment than any that ever preceded it . In the language of our representative, a Federal Congress deliberately repudi ated the Constitution its members were sworn to support, and governed the country outside of its fundamental law. This Congress strippel the President of the powers vested in him by the Con stitution, and threatened to depose him because he protested against its usurpa• dons. This Congress organized mili tary despotisms over one-third of the territory of the Republic, wiped out the rights and governments of tell States, awl set tics tgraut.l over their people. At least two ol the tyrants ruled their subjects with rods of iron, subverting courts and govern Men tH, enacting and repealing laws, and defying the judicial process of the United States, and re ceived the spcciu I llut Ls of Congress lor their services. This same Congress provided that the government of the tell Southern States should pass out of the hands of its satraps into the control of a degraded and barbarous race, and to that end at once enfranchised the ne groes and disfranchised the most intelli gent whites. This Congress atteinpted Lo perpetuate the rule of a political party, Icy establishing negro supremacy at the South, and so adjusting the !ad duce of power iu the Union as to give the negro South control of the whole. Upon these usurpations Congress piled repeated insults to the superior race of the country. Personal and social equal ity were given to blacks at the point of the bayonet. At the seat of government blacks excluded whites front the voting places, or whites were compelled to follow mytoes to the polls. Negroes were appointed to office for the purpose of annoying the whites. And in the Southern kingdoms, Congressional sa traps insulted the democratic instincts of the people by aping the potril , of royalty, and Sickles:lnd Sheridan drove the streets of Charleston and New Orleans in state carriages drawn by four and six horses, under the approving smiles of their Congressional eMployers. there is the secret of the change in Maine :it'd California. The progress wards imperialism and negro supre acy has startled and shocked the peo l.a,i year's endorsement of the Constitutional Amendment was not de signed by them as a Haul: warrant of attorney to Congress to govern the e,)tintry without and against Constitu tional laW. IL neither authorized the 'cation a I»onarclii,, , Imr the est ishment of in-.4 . r0 supremacy in free nglo-Saxon Ankerica. The people of 'alifornia and Maine have voted that they mean to revoke the power their qgifitts have ahused. They intend to repudiate the representatives who re tidiateil the Constitution. They will teach C,ritgress that the people aro its wasters not its servants. Ix'sons of History History is said to he Philosophy le:tell ing hy example. nil in the light of that philosophy, we think Ice Vall read the impending destiny of the powerful and insolent Republican party. n the Detteteratie party appeared almost omnipotent. ( hen. Pierce was elected President by an enormous popu lar majority, and the electoral votes of all the States excepting four. The Demo cratic majority in Congress was then al most as great as the Republican ma jority is now. But in all evil 110111' the Democrats were persuaded to repeal the Missouri Compromise, and from that day a fierce popular reaction set in, which, but for the support of the pro slavery South, would have submerged the party in ls:tO. In Is,, the Democracy . carried Penn sylVatti;t by 10,000 majority. In the following season the unpopular Le common Constitution of Kansas was adopted by a Democratic Congress, and in 18t1.5 the Denoteracy of Pennsylvania were beaten by more than lo,oott, Gen. Jackson \vast:dented by immense majorities, but his party , ollbuded the people, and a few years afterwards (ten, Harrison Wile eleCtLia by a majority Its large as Jackson received. Ilarrison's party, in turn, forfeited the eon lidence of the people, and' he was followed by. Polk, who NVIIS succeeded by Taylor. We believe that the present Itepubli van party has outraged the people by a betrayal of confidence without parallel in the h istory of thecountry. Less than a year ago they proposed under their Constitutional .:\mentlintl'itt, a scheme of Reconstruction that recognized the existing Stategovern mentsof the South, and the right or those governments to control the question of suffrage within their limits. Their leaders urged this scheme upon the public, and seemed for it the sanction of the Northern peo ple. But within six months thereafter, the same leathers repudiated the scheme they had so earnestly recommended, subverted the State governments they had repetatAly recognized, and usurped the control of the right of suffrage in the Stales in avowed defiance of the Federal Constitution: This breach of trust. was attended by circumstances of peculiar aggravation. The govern ments of the Southern States was super seded by A 1,,,,1ute Monarchies, and the right of Suffrage wrested from its owners, was conferred upon a horde of ignorant and degraded negroes. Speakers in Congress announced that this was done, not only to Africutti. - - -, the South, but to secure a negro balance of po‘ver in the country that would controbthe North.

IN the Radical stronghold of Brad ford county, Landon is laid out, the slate is smashed, and things are much mixed up generally. So it is all round —a general burst up among the corrup tioniets. Cgimea Committed in the Name of the People. ) 21.1ways, when they are preparing to p rpetrate some new outrage, we hear 'the Radicals cry out—"it is the will of the people." In the name of the people, they have destroyed the old Union. In the name of the people, they have overthrown the Constitution, and sub verted all the fundamental laws of our political being. In the name of the people, they have broken down our federal form of free government. In the name of the people, Congress has usurped the powers that rightfully belong to the Executive. In the name of the people they have impaired the power of the Supreme Court of the United States. In the name of the people, they have set upa military despotism in the South, by the aid of which they hope to establish the Supremacy of negroes over the white race. In the name of the people, they have constantly and diligently labored to prevent a restoration of the Union. In the name of the people, they have prevented the country from reaping any benefit from the multitudes of lives and the billions of money sacrificed in the war. In the name of the people, they have stolen at least one thousand million dollars from the treasury. In the name of the people, they have used the public money in the most lav ish manner to carry elections. In the name of the people, they have crushed the poor man with taxes, while the rich bondholder is exempt. In the name of the people, they have established the Freedmen's Bureau, and appropriated millions of money to sup port worthless negroes in idleness. u the name of the people, they have multiplied offices beyond all precedent in any government, in order to make places of ease and profit for a multitude of political friends and favorites. In the mune of the people, the mem bers of Congress have doubled their salaries, and greatly increased the sala ries of all officials. In the name of the people, they threaten completely to destroy the in dependence of the loyal Mutes. In the name of the people, they pro pose to confer the right of suffrage on the negroes of Pennsylvania by Con gressional enactment. In the name of the people, the leaders of the Republican party have been guilty of crimes against liberty, outrages against the Constitution and wrongs against the people which would justify the masses in rising up and disposing of them summarily, either by banish ment from the country they have ruined, or, if need he, from the world. The assertion so constantly made by the Ptadicals that they represent the will of a majority of the American peo ple is a reckless and boasting lie. At the first election of Abraham Lincoln the Republican party was shown to be in the minority by about a li illion of the votes 'ltctually cast. At his second election, when the loyal States alone voted, Lincoln's vote was only tea per cent. greater than that cast for McClel lan. Ilad their been no frauds prac ticed in the armies and at home that small percentage would have been greatly reduced or entirely overcome. It is high time tlu was an end of this swaggering assumption that the Radicals rept'esent the will of the people. It has always been plain that they did not do so even in the North. Were the Union restored, they would at once sink into a beggarly and powerless minority, even if the negroes of the South should continue to be voters. They have relied ithich on the constant repetition of \v fail was always a trans parent falsehood. In no sense do they represent the will of the people. That is now being most satisfactorily demonstrated by the elections. Penn sylvania will ellhelually dispose of that brazen lie, so far as she is concerned, on the second Tuesday of I )ctoher, and her people will enter a bold and manly protest against the many crimes which a set of reckless and revolutionary Radicals have committed in the sacred name of the people. To the pulls their, Conservative men of the Keystone State, and make your voice heard at the ballot box. The Radical County Ticket After a short hut exciting canvas the Radicals of Lancaster county have sue ceoded in settling a ticket under the Crawford Cc.H.ty System. The Thugs and the ll'eniperance organization com bined to return Armstrong and Steacy lo the Legislature. In most instances the hest 111011 were defeated, and great dissatisfaction is openly expressed at the result. .1 .N.ll,lrmy .11111,11,ffig., I)onegal. l'npt. Abraham (;.islinll:, )1:1j. twp.

The poverty-stricken Radical leaders of Maryland, the miserable white thieves who have been turned away hungry frdin the public crib, confident ly expect Congress to overturn the new Constitution of that, State. The white majority is to be put at the bottom, and a set of greedy harpies and greasy ne groes are to be helped to rise to the sur• face.

Why, what has gone wrong in the negro tronghold? Has a ray of light struck into the piney woods ? To Government Bondholders. We presume that, in due time, we shall have another correspondence between Thaddeus Stevens and Mr, John Gyger on the subject of government bonds, and the importance to bondholders of supporting the Reputlican ticket, and that this will again stimulate the bond holders into activity against the Demo cratic party. In view of the probability of such an occurrence, we beg to address a few words of reason and caution to the holders of government securities amongst us. The mass of the Democratic party in the country, and especially in Pennsyl vania, have always been and now are hostile to repudiaticin in every shape. Whatever they may think of the man ner in which a public debt originated, or the extravagance and corruption which attended its creation, they re- cognize the fact that the public credi tor, who advanced his money to the government, is not responsible for these circumstances. The government that obtained the money uufaiiiy or squan dered it recklessly is alone responsible for such abuses ; and the people who created the government are religiously bound by the obligations their govern ment has assumed. Such has always been the doctrine of the Democracy, and they now stand prepared, as they have ever been, to fulfil every pecuni ary obligation of the United States government. ndt only to the letter, but in its spirit. Has the Republican party been as honest? Prior to the year 156-1 there stood unrepealed upon the statute book of Pennsylvania an engagement to pay the interest of the State debt in gold, which had been adopted to strengthen the credit of the Commonwealth in a period of severe financial pressure. In that year the Legislature deliberately repealed and violated this solemn en- gagement, every Republican member voting for the breach of faith, and every , emocratic member, save one, votin against it, and the act was approved by a Republican (;overnor. Thence forward the interest on the State debt was paid in pap r. ('an the creditors of the United States expect better treat ment than the creditors of Pe n nsy Iva- is from the Radical party, if ever its iterest should appear to demand If p It" ICI GOP. Precisely the same thing was one at the same time by the Repub- an Legislature of New York, al ler the same favorite Radical plea of iocc.ssi(y The present Hove nut - lent of the United States, Republican in all its branches, is tainted with repudiation. In the ex igency of the war, this Hoverument issued more than four hundred millions in amount Of promissory notes, (green backs,) promising to pay the bearers thereof from one dollar to one thousand dollars each. There being no period specified on their face f o r the payment of these notes, they are, by every rule for the construction of contracts recog nized in civilized countries, payable at once and all the tulle. Yet, with an overflowing Treasury and unlimited credit, this Republican Hovernmeut makes no elhat to redeem these notes- Anil when the Secretory of the Trea sury enfered unon au attempt to do so, the Radical Congress promptly inter fered, and prohibited 111111 from redeem ing them at a more rapid rate than four millions per month ; so that the present prospect is, that the dishonored notes of the (lovernment will continue Co circulate for eight years, and gold re main invisible rite the same peri-11. The Republican party has broken its moral faith eVell more recklessly than it has violated its pecuniary promises. I low has Congress kept its unanimous engagement of Hill to preserve unim paired the equality, dignity and rights of the several States? How have its members regarded their oaths to sup port the Constitution of the United States, which demands representation in both branches ia Congress for every State? And has not their leader shame lessly proclaimed that they have (*l'. purti,a, it the Federal Constitution, and are governing the country onside of hi: The word is ominotts--umit'id Anitt the Constitution. Do you think that those who have repudiated the Constitution will spare your bonds when they be come troublesome and oppressive ; and do you think that those who sneer at the obligation of 1111 Oath will respect the obligation of a bond Ir in his way, the fragments of your bonds would trouble the kidneys taddeus Stevens as little as the " shattered fragments of the old Constitution." To show how Radical extravagance and corruption are sapping the resources and credit of the .'sited States; how the misgovernment or the Radicals is crippling the prosperity and reducing the products of the country ; and how both conspire to maintain the debt and grinding taxation of the people would occupy more space than we can spare. But these matters are of vital concern to the public creditors. A word of caution, and we have done where both parties profess the highest reverence for public faith and credit, it is not prudent for the bondholder to interfere between them, and make the payment of his bonds a J rtu •fy 'pie .410 n. The influence of the Covernment bond holders, thrown into the scale, may defeat the Democratic party, and then again, it tiuly not. The Democracy of IstiT is more vigorous and formidable than tile Democracy of several years past. It has shown its strength and prowess in Connecticut, Kentucky, California and Maine. It is hopeful of success everywhere on the new issues of tic year, :111t1 the returning reason of the people. In this State it expects to at least reverse the meagre majority of 11,000 on the Republican Congressional ticket of last year, and it even aspires to the control of the Federal government in lt-ttiti. If by any of the strange reac tions which sometiines elect Presidents --such as elected Jackson, Harrison and Lincoln—it should chance to re cover the confidence of the people and elect its President and Congress, the (jovernment bondholders will feel much more comfortable if they have not made a party issue against it. The Prospect Democrats, the political prospect in Pennsylvania is gloriously bright. A great victory lies within our grasp. We have only to perfect our organization awl to bring our entire vote to the polls to secure it. The recent elections show that the tide has turned. We can only be beaten by our own want of energy. The work to be done calls for the una bated diligence and the most active exertions of every conservative citizen. The election is rapidly approaching. But little time is left to complete the necessary organization. It must be done, done thoroughly, and done at once. We urge that meetings for or ganization be called at once wherever it has not already bee& effectually done. Let no time be lost. let no means be left unemployed to bring out the entire vote of every ward and township. Work as men should who feel the importance of the great issues involved In the pend ing contests and all will be well, PRACTICE vs. PitEcurr.—One of the Republican nominees for the Legisla ture, who voted last winter for the passage of the stringent liquor law which hasso much disgusted our people, who was one of the candidates of the temperance men, and who Is said to pass for a praying Methodist in his section of the county, was gloriously drunk last ilight. Brother Black ought to look after him The Radical County Ticket There is much dissatisfaction in the Radical ranks with the ticket which has been nominated, andit is openly ex pressed by many of the best men of the party. Not a few are thoroughly dis gusted. Even the Express is able to utter only very faint praise of the ticket, and consoles itself with expressing the hope that better results may be achieved in future. The candidates for the legislature are not such men as should be chosen to represent a great county like Lancaster in that body. By the combined aid of the Thugs and the Temperance organi zations Messrs. Armstrong and Steacy managed to be renominated. The Ex aminor has openly denounced them as corrupt, and we presume with a perfect understanding of the truth of its asser tion. In its last issue that paper exposed their style of electioneering. It said : We have ascertained from the best of authority that the Good Templars have adopted Andrew Armstrong and D. G. Steacy as two of their candidates. These two are marked to be voted on all their tickets; while in the neighborhood of Mr. King, in Little Britain, he is one; in Mr. Diller's district, at New Holland, he is one; in Manor, Dr. Herr; in Conestoga, Mr. Peters, and so around the circle; but always Armstrong and Steacy. This is a very sharp Thug dodge to make the nomination of Armstrong and Steacy certain by means of the temperance vote. While the tem perance men are doing this for them, they are making themselves .ociab/c with the tavern keepers, and explaining how the liquor law 81ippef 1 through the House last winter while they were out taking a drink ! We could not say anything more dis• re )utable of them if we were to try and we leave them, with only this re mark, that we hope they will so con duct themselves during the coming winter as to relieve themselves from the imputation of dishonesty which has been openly cast upon them by the lead ing organ of their own party. Messrs. otshalk and Reinoehl have been so Biers, and we believe had no other claims for nomination. Mr. Uotshalk we do not know, but report says he is not such a man as should be put for ward for the Legislature. He served his country well and faithfully, and, being crippled, deserves to have some more substantial reward thau the em pty honor of being sent to the Legislature, where, owing to lack of education, he can make no respectable figure, and no money, if lie is as honest as a soldier should be. He might have been made Recorder. Mr. Reinoehl has a decidedly exalted opinion of himself, but we do not think he will ever lie mistaken for a second • Kolon. He is a very young gentle man, with about capacity enough to inake a respectable show in a country de bating club. It is an even chance whether a session in the Legislature will improve him somewhat or spoil him utterly. We rather think he will receive some lessons which will do him good. If lie will allow us to advise him, we would urge him not to attempt speechmaking:, but to confine himself exclusively to business and especially to the local in terests of the county. By so doing he may make what iscalled a "useful mem ber," provided always that he does not follow Armstrong and Steacy into that dangerous circle, " the ring." A very sensible Republican from the 10 wer.end of the county, expressed to us a regret that some of the more influ ential and disinterested members of the party had not united in suggesting several intelligent and upright men from the country, and one or two really able and honest lawyers or business men from the city, as candidates fur the Legislature. Had that been done we are sure a much better Legislative ticket would have been formed. It is high time Lancaster County should send a different style of men to Harris burg. I.et there be a change for the better next year. The candidate for County Treasurer is a soldier who is to receive the legiti mate emoluments of the office, while the large and profitable perquisites arising from the handling of the public funds arc to go to the parties who put Lim for Ward and secured his nomina- There vas au understanding between the two contending factions that there should be no change in the administra tion of affairs at the county prison, and Thug and Antl-Thug voted harmoni ously for Lefevre and Rohrer. If there have liven abuses about that institution, as the well educated Editor of the Ex po,: alleges, there k no hope of a re form during the coining year, unless the people should elect the Democratic can didates. The Democracy will put up a much bet ter ticket in all respects; but we canhard ly hope it will be elected. We presume the Itepuplicans will be Lambda to vote an inferior ticket and be able to beat us by a small majority, as usual.

Our Gains The Democracy have lately gained 12,000 votes in Connecticut, which gave Lincoln 11,000 majority, and have elect ed three out of four Members of Con gress from that State ; they have gained 2,000 votes in New Hampshire ; 0,000 in Vermont ; 20,000 in Kentucky ; 14,000 iu Maine ; and 27,000 in California. Surely here is good and substantial cause for rejoicing. Let every DeMocrat take fresh courage, and be assured that a full poll of our vote will give a grand victory in October. Forward the whole Column; Negro Suffrage The question of Negro Suffrage is upon us; not yet indeed in Pennsylva nia, although that will probably come next winter, but in the South. • The issue before the people is, will they have the richest and fairest portion of the country governed by negroes, and , the balance of political power in the nation placed in the hands of Africans? Will the people of Pennsylvania con sent to have their votes balanced by the votes of negroes, and their Senators and Representatives neutralized by the Sen ators and Representatives of negroes, or negroes themselves, in the Congress of the United States? We have no prejudice against the African ; on the contrary, we like him —in his place. He is docile, tractable and affectionate ; but in the high men tal and moral qualities that are essential to a free and self•governed people, he is miserably deficient. The very charac teristics we most appreciate in him ren der him the easy prey of designing tricksters and demagogues. The facility with which he is manipulated through the Loyal Leagues of the South proves him incapable of self-governMent. We do not recognize the African as the equal of the white. The Almighty has drawn a broad and deep distinction between the races. He has impressed it upon their forms, features, complet ions and brains. He has given to the African far less brain, which is conced ed to be the seat of mind, than to the Caucasian, and has stamped his whole person with the evidence of inferior manhood. It is not the result of acci- dent that in the whole history of the world no negro community has ever risen to self-government or even civil ization. It is rather the result of tint overruling Providence, which adapt means to ends, and assigns to the negr, an inferior place in the world's economy sere is not even a Radical wild enough believe that, if the white race were iped out of existence, the blacks could maintain our Republic for a single gen_ eration. But the Radicals desire to use this inferior race to perpetuate the power or their party. Our little experience of negro suf- frage, under the usurpations of the pres ent l'ongress, has been most unfortunate and disgusting. In Washington city the night before the first election in which negroes participated, they mus tered at midnight to the sound of tin pans and horns, paraded the town with howls and screams until the polls open ed, and then fastened in crowds upon the voting places, to the exclusion of the white property holders of the city. Not only did the uegroes vote early awl often, but they monopolized almost all the voting that was done. In Tennes see they were driven to the polls in herds like cattle, as they were. And as few of the newly manufactured voters could read, the tickets given them were adorned with cuts of a firo,/ , so that the " pier 2" might inform the sable citizen deli was the genuine Iladical _But, say our Radical opponents, Ne gro Suffrage in the South is now an accomplished fact, the ballot has been given to the colored man and he can never lie deprived of it. They say that the Southern States will be admitted to the Union with negro majorities, and then becoming sovereign, the blacks will rule them forever. Not quite so fast, we answer; you cannot treat the South as conquered provinces when it suits your purposes, and afterwards as foreign States, when you prefer it. The State governments your Imperial Congress is now creating find no war rant in the Federal Constitution, and will receive no additional strength from admission or recognition by that Con gress. Usurpations cannot thus be per petuated by the power that commits them. If the people of the North de cide that they will not have Negro Suffrage and Supremacy at the South, the Domocracy will speedily !Ind a way to dispose of the African State govern ments, without going as far ordsidc the Constitution as the Radical Con gress event in creating them. Negro Suffrage by congressional IItIIICIII ttu Thursday last what is called the Border State 'Republican Convention assembled in Ilalthnore. Delegates were present from quite a number of States. Some were white, others black ; but they were all imbued with the spirit of Radicalism. The object of the assem blage was to urge the immediate en forcement by Congress of negro suffrage and consequent negro equality in every state in which it does not exist. There was no mincing of words in this Con vention. The resolutions .speak out Here are a few of them: 1.

Letters were read from a number of prominent Radical United States Sena tors and members of Congress, a few extracts from which may serve to show the people of Pennsylvania what is the fixed purpose of these men. Sumner said : Nyill 1, , 1tv,_!11 , 1,10n0 Ivhat it oug to do, tl it fair to promptly fur i•staiiiiish weal ut orlunl rights, Nyhtither throughout :s uwnlinut :hay •yliie elLiinot Ilr p)siponol.

John Sherman of Ohio said : I heartily cominond your organizath and only regret that I cannot accept yo invitation. Senator Yates of Illinois said : It is my earnest wish and hope that your Jissenthlago of patriots will bravely accept the lessons of the tittle, and in their resolu tions will recognize and proclaim their en tire devotion to the great fundamental principle which underlies our form of gov ernment, viz: universal equality of rights and privileges among the governed. Noth ing less than this will stand the test of popu lar scrutiny, and nothing less will restore us to peace and prolanity. Senator Wilson of Massachusetts wrote: I hadloped to be at your convention, but the sickness of toy wife way prevent It. I suggest that your convention declare for suffrage either by line or constitutional amendment. We can carry the amendment if we cannot the law. At the lust session offered an amendment on the Mb of July, allowing all, without distinction of color, to vote orhold office, making no distinction of rights or privilege. Some of our strongest men doubt our power to pass a bill. If we cannot do it, let us set about amending the Constitution. Our State Convention will go for suffrage either bylaw or amendment. These extracts from the letters of lead• ing Republican Senators will suffice. All the numerous letters received from different members of the lower house of Congress were of a similar character. We ask the people of Pennsylvania to look at this matter in its true light. There is no doubt that the Radicals in tend to force negro suffrage and negro equality upon this and other States by Congressional action. It can only be prevented by a grand uprising of the people against the proposed outrage. By the election of Judge Williams we would invite the immediate passage of such a bill. A Radical Legislature would promptly endorse the proposed Constitutional amendment. Let the white men of Pennsylvania remember this when they go to the polls.

Let them also remember that the assaults being made upon Judge Sharswood are all based on opposition to an opinion in which lie declared that an express con tract to pay a debt in coin was binding and should be enforced. Let them re member, in addition, that Henry \V. Williams endorsed the repudiation of the railroad bonds issued by the Repub lican officials of Allegheny county. If they keep these things till in mind, Lhe bondholders will not be likely to vote the Radical ticket. Footsteps of Freedom The New Orleans Common Council, appointed by the late satrap Sheridan, have elected for assistant recorders //to, ,yrocB and one white man. Several other important municipal ollices.have also been filled by the appointment of negroes. The world moves, and these are foot steps in the path of freedom. So the Radical papers tell us. Tiff: Radical papers try to break the force of their overwhelming defeat in California by attributing it to the fact that they had two candidates In the field for (lovernor. They forgot to tell their readers that the Democratic can didate had a majority of at frast eight thousand, over both his competitors. But it is hard for them to tell the truth about anything. THE returns from Maine show that the Democratic gain will be ovor 20,000. Then rally to the polls freemen of Penn sylvania. One vigorous effort will com pletely redeem the Keystone State.
