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,

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

well in the city oil Tuesday. The fol
lowing figures will show its error. Our

in proportion to the vote than it has

'cue E.rprt , s is welcome to all the
comfort it can deny from the above.
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.

Majority
CINCINNATI, Oct, 10—Midnight.
Something over fifty counties are heard
from, and the' give Thurman, Dem., a
Luajority of 13,01. The remaining IN or 30
will reiluce the. figures somewhat. The
Cincinhati Conzwercica, Radical, says the
official result alone can decide who has been
elected. The Enquirer, Dem., estimates
Judge Thurtnan's majority at a little over
Tla , Legislature stands: Senate, 19 Dem
ocrats to 17 Radi,als, the House H Demo
crats to 30 Radicals. A Democratic ma
jority of S on joint ballot.
lib - Telegraph to Forney's Press.;
CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.—The official returns
of Hamilton county show the following
result: Second district, for Congress, Cary's
majority 959; for Governer, Hayes' major
ity 1,524; against the Constitutional amend
ment, 4,679 majority. The total vote of the
county was 38,315.
COLUMBUS, Oct.;l2.—The election returns
have to-day undergone a few oilier correc
tions, leaving the Republican majority
Some hundreds more, but the exact num
bers in the vote will not be officially certi
fied for over three weeks longer.
If the Republicans have only the very
small majority so far reported, the election
may become the subject of Legislative in
vestigation, as the Democrats contend that
a large number of negroes voted who had
not the requisite qualifications of blood,
and that other cases of fraudulent voting in
different parts of the State, when ventila•
ted, may reduce the so-called Radical
majorities to a doubtful issue.
As an instance of how earnestly the Demo
crats felt the importance of the struggle, a
gentleman made a journey all the way front
Chili, in South America, simply to cast his
ballot in the interest of the Democracy.
• The Republicans feel doubly the mortifi
cation of losing their Senator to the national
Legislature. Judge Thurman will be the
probable choice of the Democracy for Ben
Wade's place.
The election in lowa shows very large
Democratic gains, but the returns come in
=OEM
In Indiana the election was only for
members of the Legislature. The returns
show great Democratic gains.
Connecticut
The latest returns from Connecticut show
that in the returns from 116 towns the Rad
icals have gained 3 and the Democrats 23,
which will elect 39 members, and thus give
a handsome majority to the Democrats on
joint ballot in the next Legislature. New
London, Stratford, Fairfield and Saybrook
are among the towns gained by the Demo
crats.

Democratic Nominations In Maryland.
The Democrats of Maryland have
nominated a most admirable ticket.
The men composing it are among the
ablest and most distinguished in the
State. The ticket stands as follows:
Governor—Col. Oden Bowie, of Prince
George's county.
Attorney General—Hon. Isaac D. Jones,
of Somerset.
Clerk of Court of Appeals—James Frank
lin, Anne Arundel.
Superintendent of Labor and Agriculture
—Dr. James C. Clarke, of Frederick.
Conservative Republicans
The thanks of the Democracy of Penn
sylvania are due to many Conservative
Republicans who broke through the
tramels of party and helped to redeem
the State. We cordially return them
thanks. They have the proud conscious
ness of knowing that their efforts to stay
the tide of Radical revolution and cor
ruption were crowned with success.—
They were actuated by the purest mo
tives in what they did, and they are
amply rewarded by the approval of their
consciences.
Alas! AlaV.l
In a double-leaded editorial Forney
thus bewails the result of the Ohio elec
tion :
As we' write it is certain that Ohio has re
fused to ratify the amendment conferring
suffrage upon her colored .. citizens.
Alas! Alas ! !
...THE day before the election in Ohio,
the leading Republican paper of that
State, the Cincinnati Gazette. said " the
want of river navigation isgreatly felt."
Judging by the news from that quarter,
we should think the want has been sup
plied by the sudden opening and free
navigable condition of Salt River.
* THE Radicals proposed to make Ben
Wade Dictator. We presume they will
hesitate some time before attempting
that after the verdict of Ohio.

whether Maryland has a republican form

for the Committee to extend their in

see whether those States have a repub
lican form of government since the elec
tion of last Tuesday ? California and
Connecticut also need looking to, and

TILE Pittsburg Cemiiiio-cira says
A petition asking Congress to impeach
and remove Andrew Johnson is being cir
culated in New Vo: k. General Sigel is 0110
of the signers; so is Wendell Phillips, Gen.
Walbridge, Win. C. Bryant and Henry
Ward B. eeher.
A petition against impeachment and
revolution was very extensively circu

of those two great States were the
signers. We rather guess impeach

set of Radical fanatics has been im

The Cleveland Herald accounts for the
defeat of the suffrage amendment as fol
lows:
"There was a very heavy vote polled
against the amendment by young men—
particularly such as were casting their first
vote—out of sheer prejudice against the
negro; an unreasoning impulse, that par
took more of the element of mere pride of
opinion and ambition to be thought inde
pendent in political sentiment than of any
settled conviction of duty. Personally
those voters cared but little about the mat
ter, and did not care to use any argument,
save that they 'could not go tue‘nigger.'
" There is one feature in the defeat of this
amendment which deserves consideration.
We have been very much deceived in that
vote, us we thought the amendment would
fail through indirection—that is, the failure
) vote either way would defeat it. But the
result shows that ' r the noes have it by the
sound ;' that it is defeated by direct votes
against it, showing that it was lost not be
cause men did not care enough about the
question to vote upon it, but because they
are directly opposed to it." •
