Wanatoter intelt4puttr. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1 . 6, 1867 Address of the Democratic, State Com _ mittee. • DEXETCOPMITTEE Roomel PHILADELPHIA, October 9, 1867. ) To the Democracy of Pennsylvania: Victory crowns your efforts and Pennsyl yenta is redeemed. The Keystone proclaims her hatred of despotism, her fealty to the law, Jaer fideli ty to the Constitution. You have elected Judge Sbarswood, a representative man to the Supreme Bench; reversed the majority of last year, and added to the number of your Senators and members of the House of Representatives. Now York and New Jersey will follow where you have led, and the future is your own if you will grasp it. To your untiring efforts in the work of prganization is this result mainly due, and to you belongs the honor of the-triumph. Now honors await you, new labors are before you. You have won the fight for position, let us now prepare for the groat battle of the coining year. Pledging ourselves to the maintenance of government of law for the entire Repub lic, to the pregervation of the supremacy of our own race, to the development of our immense resources, to the reform of abuses, corruption and extravagance, and through these ko the relief of the tax-payer, and the payrneirr , of the public debt, let us move resolutely forward. By order of the Democratic State COM mittee, WILLIAM A. WALLACI Prepare for the Presidential Campaign The Intelligeneer for 1868 On the first of January next, wo will greatly enlarge the WEEKLY INTELLIGEN coIt, making it a nine column paper. It will then he the largest Democratic Journal published in Pennsylvania. As we publish an evening daily paper, we possess facilities for making up a first class Weekly .Journal, superior to those of any other Democratic office in Pennsylva. nia. With the proposed enlargement we shall be able to give a very large amount, and a very great vari Ay of reading matter; and we confidently anticipate a largely in— creased circulation. Our subscription price is already low, but, as a special inducement, we now oiler to furnish the Wif.El:l.l" INTELLIOENCER to stew subscribers, from this titne until Jan. uary Ist, 1869, for two dollars. We Imps every reader of the INTEI.I.IOEN CER will exert himself to increase our su b seription list. The all important catnpaign of Ititis is already open. It will lie the exciting contest the country has ever Wit nessed, and the most potent agency to he employed is the Democratic press. It is the bounden duty hi every 'Democrat to help us light this great battle Let every one of our renders do his utmost to Increase our circulation. To Our Campaign Subscribers. According to our terms this is the last paper our campaign subscribers are entitled to receive, but in order to give them all a chance to become regular subscribers, we will send them one more issue. We hope they will all con tinue to lake the paper. Let such as desire to do so send us for subscription to January Ist, ISO, or 1 for six months. Another Democratic Senator The official vote elects S. T. Shugart, Dem. a Centre County, Senator over "his eomptitors. Ile is an able man, and we rejoice in his success. That makes the Senate stand Democrats 11, Itatlicols 19. The change is coming. Revolutions Never Go Backward Revolutions, as the Radicals are fond of saying, never go backward. The Democrats of CoNNECTICUT are not sat isfied with the successes of last spring. to the town elections of Monday, ac cording to the New Haven Register of October 8, so far as heard from, the Democrats have not lost a single town, while there is a certain gain of seven teen towns. Till.: Republicans of Ohio never con ducted a wore strenuous campaign than they have in this election. It was a boat which carried Chief Justice Chase and all his political fortunes. Unless he could carry his own State he could not expect the Republican nomination; and the loss of negro suffrage loses the State fur him, for he is the lending rep reSentative of that principle. So deep was his personal stake in the result, that he has spent the last few weeks in Ohio manipulating the wires, and stim ulating his followers to do their very utmost. He will now have an oppor tunity to meditate on the vanity of hu man exiieetations. THE great. Presidential contest of lSilB has fairly opened. The opening battle was fought in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, and the prestige of a great victory is with us. The campaign opens gloriously. Let. us follow up our good fortune by perfecting our organization in every district. Be sure that every Conservative voter is supplied with a weapon of offense and defense in the shape of a sound Democratic newspaper. That done the masses will be well armed for the great impending conflict. THE election is over, but the labor of the true Democrat is never over. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance." Let the organization of the party be perfected. and let a systematic eftbrt be made in every election district to extend the circulation of sound Democratic newspapers. That will effect more than anything else. Let every subscriber of the Intelligcnecr sie what he can do in this important matter. WE would suggest to our Radical co temporaries that. the present is an ex ceedingly appropriate time for the re publication of, their standing and stereotyped obituaries of the Democratic party. Let them be republished by all means. They would be very cheerful reading amid the gloom that has settled like a pall upon their party. TII E Harrisburg Tc/cgaph announces that the Democratic candidate for Sena tor in the Lycoming district is only elected by five votes. Here is an illw-n -tration of the absolute importance of polling every Democratic vote at every election. Let every Democrat remem ber it. THE Democracy have accepted their great victory with a calm moderation which is in marked contrast with their opponents. There have been no insults offered, no molestation of any man in his business, no attempt at proscription for political opinion. This is as It should be, and is only another evidence of the propriety of effecting a chant,e. THE Radical leaders declared the peo ple of the North and the South should alike submit to negro equality. The people of Pennsylvania and Ohio had something to say about that the other day, and their answer is recorded. IN this State the Radical leaders all declared that the real and the only issue of the campaign was " Shall Congress be sustained ?" Ite people have an swered their query with a decided neg ative. Let their voice be heeded. OLD BEN WADE dictatorially told the people of Ohio, " You've got to have negro suffrage." He heard them reply in tones which announced to him that they would not laft7ti,him in the Senate much longer, Not unexpectedly, but with a splen dor' scarcely dreamed of, the glorious sun of victory has burst upon the anxious eyes of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania. For years they have stood together, a band of brothers, united by the strongest possible ties. For de votion to the Union, and love and rev erence for the Constitution, they have always been distinguished. They have battled for success from year to year against all the powers of corruption, all the prejudices and passions of an in furiated populace,all the malicious libels of a hireling and prostitute press, all the money that could be wrung from a multitude of men who bad grown rich on' the spoliation and plunder of the public money. Constantly!defeated, but never dismayed, they always re turned to the contest, Confident of the ultimate triumph of the great princi ples on which their party was founded. With au abiding and unshaken faith in the honesty and the integrity of the masses, the Democratic party of Penn sylvania appealed to them with argu ments that addressed themselves to the reason of the people. The hour of vic tory seemed to be long incoming, but the leaders of the Democracy never de spaired. With unwavering determina tion they reformed their shattered columns after every defeat, and pre pared for the next struggle. Yesterday they met their opponents on a fair field and utterly routed them. It was no or dinary repulse, but a regular Waterloo defeat, from which the Republican party can never recover. Pennsylva nia is lost to them forever. Chairman llow the Returns Were Received. Tuesday night was an occasion of great rejoicing with the Democracy of Lau- caster city. As the good news came in with au almost unvarying tide of Demo cratic gains, the spirits of the vast throng in and about the Cadwell House rose with the swell of victory. Such cheers as rent the air could only come from Democratic throats. Until fotir o'clock in the morning, a large number of eager listeners remained to cheer each new announcement of the great gains which told of the redemption of the Keystone Stale. (hi Wednesday the Ix• TELLR:ENCER office was crowded with an eager throng of people, many of them ladies, on their way to market, all eager to purchase an Extra with the returns or the election. As we walked round the square after a sleep less night of arduous toil, we could tell a Democratic 11100 or woman by their looks. The nappy faces were largely predominant, and we never• saw such evidences of unlit itakable and universal rejoicing. It was a pleasant thing fur us to know that the joy of the people was made holy in this hour of triumph by a true love for the Union and a devotion to the Constitution which give promise of renee,ed life and a regenerated being for the Itepu bile. The Victory In Lancloter City liie Krpo.N. , 4 thinks the Radicals did well in the city oil Tuesday. The fol lowing figures will show its error. Our majority is greater both absolutely and in proportion to the vote than it has been for years: In Ise3 \V,oth,vartl, Dew., 1n1...1,512 vote " Clllllll, Rep I ki i.

The best iudieatiou is that the Demo crats iu certain Wards feel and know that they can do better still thau they did on Tuesday, and they are resolved to do so. The pcB,4 is merely crowing a little over the city to break the frightful fall of its political friends. All it can say must prove to be very cold comfort to them. A Proyoking Blunder (living to the lateness of holding our County Convention it was with difli cuily that the tickets were distributed throughom the county, and duplicate packages were g - Iven out to parties from several toiwnslibps, so that there might be no doubt till(nit tickets being on hand on the morning of election. The supply ran short, and a second lot had to be printed for use in the city. The name of Mr. Detweiler, our esteemed candidate for County Treasurer was, by some oversight of the printer. omitted in some of these. 'Flie result is that he falls oil cone two hundred votes from the general majority in tile city. Had 00 mistake occurred he would have re ceived as many votes as any other can didate on the ticket. Democrats It ho Did Sot Vote. Quite a number of our prominent pol iticians in different Districts of the county assure us that they found nu merous Democrats who declined to go to the election, because they believed there was no hope of electing Judge Sharswood. We can hardly wonder that such a creel i ng should have prevail ed to some extent; but we will venture the assertion that not one in one hun dred of these doubt ng Democrats takes the INTEhmtiENctitt. They have been living without the information neces sary to enable them to form a correct estimate of the true condition of politi cal affairs. Let the political leaders in the different election districts make a systematic (Arita to Ci rculate the INTEL LR;ENcER and they will have much less difficulty in getting out the vote in fu e. tou , ciciitious Republicans There ire thousands of Republicans in Pen van itt who are perfectly sat isfied with the ri,ult, of the recent election. M tilt it odes of them had grown tired of tho policy to which they were bound by party orgati i zation, but they still voted the ticket. All that was needed to induce them to act upon their better convictions was such an indica tion of a revolution in popular senti ment as was furnished by the late elec tions. They are glad in their hearts that a'verdiet has been rendered against the policy of Co. gxess. They love the Union; they still reverence the Consti tution ; and they are not prepared to see the destinies of this great nation im periled by the admission of the ignorant and degraded negroes to the ballot box. Multitudes who voted the Radical ticket this Fall will never do so again. The returns from Ohio come in so slowly that the official returns will be needed to determine who is elected Gov ernor of the State. Both branches of the Legislature there are unquestiona bly Democrats. The Republicans have carried lowa by a greatly reduced majority. Even In that State the tide of the great re action was etrongly felt, Our Victory, Ohio Election Circulate Democratic YeirePllPers. If every man in the country habitu ally read a good Democratic newspaper, every State would cast its vote fox a Democratic President next fall. In the coming contest the 'Democratic party will occupy a position which would command the most overwhelming pop ular majority, if every voter could be induced to read and think. The Radicals hope to succeed by ap pealing again to the paselons excited by the war. That is their sole reliance. Their policy is calculated to keep the Union dissevered, to subvert the Consti tution, to overthrow the Republic, and to establish a negro empire or a military despotism on its ruins. Under the fa natical action of Congress the industry of the whole South is prostrated, the people of that section are impoverished, the richest lands of the continent are laid waste, the great staples of cotton, tobacco, sugar and rice are dwindled down to a tenth of former production, and the negro laborers are supported in idleness that they may so vote as to en able the Radicals to maintain their hold on power. In the meantime the trade of the North languishes, our commerce is almost annihilated, the balance of trade is enormously against us, and northern labor sweats and toils to pay almost the entire bulk of the enormous and oppressive taxes, all of which are expended by an extravagant and cor rupt Congress, without a single dollar of the public debt being paid. To put these and other truths before the people, is all that is needed to in sure the most overwhelming Conserva tive victory in the coming Presidential contest. There are thousands of honest and intelligent men in every State, who never voted a Democratic ticket, that can be induced to do so if they oan be got to read. Flooding the country with printed matter on the eve of the election will not make converts. That must be done by a slower and more gradual process. The truth must be unfolded to the minds of those disposed to receive it by degrees, That can be most effectually done by placing in their hands an able and sound Democratic paper. Every Democrat ought to make a special effort in that direction. Let them see their neighbors on the subject. Ask them to read both sides. Sums of money ought to be raised in every election district to furnish able and influential Democratic newspapers to all Republicans who can be induced to read them. But there are many Democrats who do not take even their county papers. It is a burning shame that such should be the case, but it is alas! too true That stigma ou the party should be ef fectually and completely removed at once. The members of the County Com mittee, and other prominent Democrats, should cause a complete canvass of every election district to be made with out delay, and every Democrat who is able to take a paper should be at once enrolled on the subscription list of his county paper, if not on that, of any other. This is a work which can be done easily, and which must be done if we wish to win the coming Presiden tial election. The many readers of the Ls:TELL - WE:N - C:ER know what it is. We ure sure every one of them can commend it to their neighbors as a newspaper which is worth much more than we ask for either the Daily or Weekly edition. We prom- ise that it shall not be any less worthy of support in the future than it has been in the past. No effort and uo expense will be spared to improve it constantly. By the beginning of January we expect to enlarge it very considerably. Now is the time to swell our subscription list. Let every active Democrat see how much he can do for us. Let the differ ent districts be systematically and care fully canvassed and the result will he most gratifying both to our friends and to us. A Word to Bondholders The bondholders of Lancaster county were assured that the election of Judge Sharswood would be equivalent to re pudiation. Well, he has been elected, and that result has been announced to the country. Not only that, but the Democrats carry Ohio, and make enor mou,sains in Indiana and lowa. What has been the effect on bonds? Gold has gone down and bonds have gone up in proportion. The shrewd financiers of the cities know that with the approach ing complete triumph of the Demo cratic party the Union will be restored, trade and commerce re-established on a firm and pk.,perous basis, toe industry of the South revived, economy and reform inaugural ed in every department of the Government, and the national debt rapidly paid olf. With every new triumph of the Democratic party gold will go down :aid the value of bonds be increased. That is certain to be the result. Let the bondholders remember the lies which were told them when they come to vote again, and, if they do not desire repudiation, let them vote the Democratic ticket. So surely as the Radicals are encouraged in their mad schemes so surely will repudiation come eventually. The only hope for bondholders is in a change of parties and political policy. Then and Now The Radicals are trying to console themselves by asseverating that the election of 1567 is I ike that of 186 d. They profess to believe that they will recover the lost ground in 1868 as easily as they did in 1863. They forget that they were then restored to power by the bayonet, by crushing out Democratic newspapers, by incarcerating D, , nmeratic orators, by military tyranny and by fraudulent army votes. They have been defeated now by a great popular reaction which cannot and will not be checked. The great agencies which wrought the wonderful change this fall will be more actively and efficiently employed from this day, until the election of a sound, constitutional - Union man for President seals the doom of the Radical Disunion ists forever. Mending Their Manners Since the election of last Tuesday we notice that Radical newspapers are mending their manners very decidedly. They have dropped the term " copper. head" and speak of us now, very re spectfully as Democrats. That is one of the results of a sound drubbing, which often has that effect upon black guards. THE Radicals are sorely puzzled to account for their defeat. They general ly lay the blame on certain indefinite affairs which they designate as "side issues." If ever they arrive at the truth they will find the one great cause to be a wide spread dissatisfaction with the so-called reconstruction policy of Congress, and a decided distrust of the fanatics who compose the majority of that body. The people want the Union speedily restored, and an end put to the costly military despotism which is be ing employed to convert sovereign states of the Union into degraded negro re publics. THE delight at the result of the recent election is almost universal. We are satisfied that even the most Radical Republicans are wonderfully pleased with it, inasmuch as many of them are making presents to their Democratic friends of - hats, boots, coats and rolls of greenbacks, as a compensation for their labors la the cause of Demooreey. What We Hint; Gained. It Is a pleasant thing to sit down and count what we have gained by the re cent election. We carry Pennsylvania and elect George Sharswood, the ablest' and most fitting man in the Common wealth, Judge of the Supreme Court, for fifteen years. Judge Black said of him : "He will give PURE law. No man will ever ,go to him for justice and be de nied." No higher cop pliment could be paid to any Judge, and all men of all parties admit the truth of it. It is a great gain to place such a man in the highest Judicial seat in the gift of our people. We have made decided and almost unexpected gains in the Legislature of this State. But for the infamous gerry mandering of the Radicals, we should now have been in possession of both branches of that body, and would have been able to protect the people from the robbery and extravagance so openly practiced. Well directed efforts will wipe out the majority against us before two years have passed away. The Dem ocratic minority is now strong enough to be powerful for good, and that is a great gain. In Ohio the Radicals have lost the en• tire law-making power of the State, for the Uovernor has no veto in that State. They have lost the United States Sena tor, Benjamin F. Wade. They have lost the negro suffrage amendment by fifty thousand majority. They have lost forty thousand of last year's forty two thousand majority, and only elected their candidate for Governor by allow ing uegroes to cast illegal votes. Surely , this is a very great gain. We have gained largely on the popu- lar vote in Indiana, where only mem bers of the Legislature were elected, and there is good reason to believe we would have swept the State had there been any State officers to be voted for. In lowa we have also gained, though not so largely as elsewhere; still enough to show that even there the tide of re action has begun to be felt. Our gains are such as to insure that we will sweep the great Empire State of New York and the gallant State of New Jersey iu November. We count all these wonderful gains with pleasure. They prove to us that we can easily elect the nest President, and redeem the country. The people are with us, and they have resolved that the Union shall be restored and the Constitution preserved. They will have no negro empire erected on the ruins of the Republic. Let every Democrat go to work from this hour with renewed diligence and energy. Let a united and universal effort, be made to put a sound and able Democratic newspaper in every house. The Dress is the lever that moves the modern world, and through the agency of the Democratic press a great revolution is being wrought. Then let every Democrat, as he counts our gains and rejoices over our great victories, re solve to engage in the great work of circulating widely Democratic news papers. By so doing he will render it certain that a new and constantly in creasing impetus shall be given to the glorious tide of victory. Wanted—A Few Soldiers The Radicals in the rural districts of Lancaster county believed that the Maryland militia would invade this county if Sharswood should be elected. The consequence is the wildest alarm exists/among them. They were told so by Hanswurst Geary, who also blowed very loudly about what he would do as commander of the military of Pennsyl vania. He should at once send a force to garrison the river hills along our Southern border. The Susquehanna is very low now, and fordable in many places. Nothing less than the presence of several regiments, and two or three batteries of artillery, with the hero of Harper's Ferry to lead themewill calm the apprehensions of our panic stricken country cousins. If Geary wants the six votes of the " Old Guard" to be cast fur his renomination, let him march-to the front at once. Forward then, hero of Snickersville! Agreeably Disappointed The Democrats who did not vote be cause they thought there was no chance of electing Judge Sharswood, were no doubt very agreeably disappointed, if they have heard the news; but their joy must be mixed with bitter self reproaches and a feeling of shame at their faint-heartedness. They are wel come to rejoice with those who helped to wiu the victory, however, and we hope they have learned a lesson which will serve them for all time to come. It is the bounden duty of every Democrat to vote at every election. Each one who professes the faith of the glorious old party, should be always ready to exert every energy he possesses to secure the triumph of its great principles. Rain or shine, whether the election be for President or only for township officers, every man of them should he at the polls on election day. The late election is a lesson fur all sluggards which we hope they will never lorget. The Ohio Legislature The Ohio Legislature stands as fol lows: Senate 18 Radicals and 19 Demo crats. House •51 Radicals and 54 Demo crats. Democratic majority on join ballot 4. The last Legislature stood: Senate Democrats, 12; Republicans, 25. House Democrats, 34; Republicans, 74. Total Democrats, 41; ; Republicans, 99. Re publican majoi it;.. 00 joint ba110t..53. This is a may oilicctit re , ult. Just think of it. A gain of ncarly sixty members of the Legbdature, a Demo cratic majority in both branches, and a Democratic Senatbr to succeed old Ben Wade. It is glory enough to say nothing of tlie overwhelming defeat of negro suffrage. Three cheers for the glorious Buckeye State! Ron. Rm. A. Wallace The New York Tribune pays Senator >Vallace a well deserved compliment by saying, editorially, that the victory in this State is greatly due to his energy and ability.• He made no noisy show in the campaign, but his influence was everywhere potently felt in completing the organization of the party. He has made a most efficient Chairman of the Democratic ;State Central Committee, and we all feel that the great campaign of next year will be ably and success fully conducted by him. THE Radical papers all declared that if Sharswood was elected greenbacks would be repudiated. Do they still take them ? Some of those who read and believed them ought to try the experi ment. We presume a two dollargreen back would still be good for a year's subscription to the Examiner, the Ex press, the Vo/ksfreund, or the Inquirer. That is all we ask for the WEEKLY IN TELLIGENCER, which is a much better and more truthful paper than any of those we have mentioned. THE Ohio papers all unite in declar ing that a large negro vote was polled in the Western Reserve, and other Rad. ical strongholds. The Cincinnati En quirer asserts that it would be easy to prove that enough illegal negro votes were thus cast to overcome the small apparent majority for the negro suffrage candidate for Governor. AND THE COLORED TROOPS FOUGHT BRAVELY ON ELECTION DAY, but still they went un4er. me Fright In the Rural Districts. We are reliably informed that the •wildest alarm prevails throughout the -rural districts of Lancaster county among the radical farmers. They had all been told, on the authority of Gov ernor Hansworst Geary, that the militia of Maryland would invade this county immediately, in case Judge Sharswood should be elected, and that their farms and houses would be burned, and their fat cattle andsheep, their hogs and their horses all driven off into Dixie. Col. Dickey promised to lead a mighty force to crush out Tom Swann's militia and the whole Democratic party; peda gogue Wickersham swore he would "let slip the dogs of war; " and Adju tant Reinoehl pledged himself to ad vance on the enemy with old Thad. and 'his colored concubine on a couch in the front line of battle. Haus Geary him self, in our Court House and elsewhere, called on imaginary cohorts of " boys in blue', to stand by him, and shoddy contractors and ;postmasters cried " we will." Sharswood Is elected and as yet not one of these doughty warriors has buckled on his sword. Gentlemen war riors ! the terrified Radicals in the rural districts of Lancaster county are wait ing in palid terror for the redemption of your pledges. Their plows stand still while the horses are all hidden in the bushes; the Welsh Mountains are said to be filled with fat cattle and long wooled sheep, which have been dthen there for shelter; tha hog pens are empty, and the lazy swine wallow in profound content in remote swamps and ditches ; the women cower over the kitchen fires, and the men spend all their time iu looking out from the watch-towers on the top of their barns for the coming of the foe. A single drum beat in. some of the Radical stronghold's of this county would create a panic, and cause a precipitate flight worse than that which followed the appear ance of the rebels at Wrightsville. The condition of the rural districts is abso lutely alarming. something must be done and done quickly to quiet the apprehensions of the people. If Messrs. Dickey and Geiffy and Wickersham and Reinoehl were only telling bare-faced and im probable lies, they ought to own up at once. Gentlemen, we appeal to you in behalf of terrified men and women. Either own up that you all lied like so many Tom Peppers, or else "gird on your swords and rush to battle." Do not, we beseech you, do not suffer "our country cousins" to die of sheer fright. The Maryland Radicals The Maryland Radicals have nomi nated a full State ticket, headed by the notorious Hugh L. Bond for Governor. A platform was adopted of which the following is the first resolution : Resolved, That the Republican party of Maryland, in convention assembled, adhere firmly to the principles or Manhood suf frage, uniform and universal education, and the payment of the national debt, and pledge themselves to tight it out on that line. On that platform they not only nomi nated a State ticket, but presumed to nominate General Grant for President. We do not believe General Grant in tends to let himself be made the candi date of the radicals. If lie should he would unquestionably be beaten on their platform. What Thad. Stevens Intends to Do A special correspondent of the Phila delphia .Iforning Post professes to be booked as to the intentions of our Con- He says:— gres.,lnan "Letters have been received hero front Thaddeus Stevens, in which he declares his intention to urge upon Congress, its soon as it meets in November, two great meas ures essential to the safety of the country. The first is a general impeachment law, de fining offences upon which an officer may be impeached, and expressly declaring that no officer shall continue to exercise the power of his office during his trial. The second law which Mr. Stevens intends to urge will provide that under authority of the Constitution and upon the principles of the Declaration of Independence no State shall have power to prohibit citizens of the United States, whatever their race, color or religion, front voting for President or Con gressmen. This law Will establish impar tial suffrage throughout the Union. Lead ing Republicans affirm that Mr. Stevens will be sustained by Congress." All this sounds so much like the ut_ terance§ of the old man who resides just below our Mike, that we are inclined to believe it to be literally true. IT will be observed from the returns of Salisbury township that Williams has Ti more votes than the average of the Radical county ticket, while Shars• wood's vote is about the same as that of the Democratic County ticket. The list of voters prepared by the clerks and re turned to the Prothonotary's Office has only 675 names upon it, while the 517 for Williams and 166 for Sharswood make up 653. We are at a loss how to explain this. The Judge and both Inspectors of election are Radicals, and we call ou them for an explanation Salisbury township has a very unenvi able reputation for fairness in elections, and this affair will not improve it. Hereafter let our friends in that district have watchers appointed, let them count the vote as it goes iu, and then, if there he such another result, let there also be further consequences. Mixed 1p The Express found the election re turns very unpalatable on Tuesday night. It was completely disgusted. In announcing the result the editor showed indications that he had been indulging in "mixed drinks," that his ideas were ail mixed up, and that every thing lie saw appeared to be very much mixed. He headed his extra, " Returns Mixed " and kept repealing the words a ired up " through haft' a column. Before he got out his after• noon edition either his head got clearer or the returns had ceased to beso much "mixed up." He saw what had been done, and betook himself to stilted heroics in a most dismal editorial headed "The Lesson of the Hour." That les son, a very severe one, indeed, he and the party to which he belongs would do well to heed. Its teachings are not much mixed up. Contemplated Frauds There is good reason to believe, from the persistent attempt of the Radicals to claim a majority for \Villiams, in the face of the overwlielmingevidence that Sharswood has been elected by a ma jority of several thousand l that an at tempt is to be made to treat the election as if it had not been held. We do not believe they will have the hardihood to carry outsuch a design. If they should there will be a second Buckshot war, more terrible than was the first. The Democracy are in no mood to be trifled with just now. They know that they have carried the State, and they will never submit to be counted out of the great victory they have fairly won. Negro Criminals In the Ohio Penitentiary there are now 908 white and 133 negro criminals. This is in proportion of one white crim inal to 2,550 white inhabitants, and oue black criminal to 275 negroes. Thus, while the negroes have but one-sixtieth of the population, they produce one seventh of the criminals. As it is in Ohio, so it is elsewhere. In the differ ent counties of this State, where there is any considerable number of negroes, not only do they swell the criminal cal endar and burthen the public with large sums in the shape of costs, but they also fill the poor houses. In Friinkli u, Adams, York, and other counties along the border, this is especially noticeable. TICYORY!! ELECTION RETURNS PENNSYLVAN4.
