To the Dentocriaw of Pennsylvania:
You have fought a good tight.
You have pulled a larger vote than ever
before; have reduced the Radical majority
of 1866 by nearly one-half, and have proven
the immortality of your principles and the
vitality of your organization.
Radicalism has carried the State by
means of the grossest outrages; by openly
and corruptly buying thousand of voters:
by driving from the polls foreign-born
citizens regularly naturalized many years
since; by rejecting the votes of thousands
who were legally made citizens in the Court
of Nisi Price ; by violating and trampling
upon the seal of that Court—n recognized
symbol of the law ; by deterring legal
voters from
- approaching the pens through
threatened penalties for imaginary offences.

The duty of each Democrat in Penn
sylvania is plain. Every man among
them who declines to vote in November
will be criminally negligent of his high

duty of voting more imperative than
now. Even if success were impossible
every Democratic vote should be polled. ,
But, success is not impossible. On the
contrary, It can be obtained.

Democratic vote in November will wipe

WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
The Rebid!,
The result of Tuesday's election
shows how terrible a struggle the battle
of the people against organized corrup
tion and venality is to be. The masses
are honest. They voted honestly on
Tuesday. But, thousands of corrupt and
mercenary creatures betrayed the toilipg
masses for so much money paid down
into their dirty fingers. Fraud and
corruption has achieved a temporary
triumph, but, so surely as truth is im
mortal and immutable, so surely will
the great principles of the Democratic
party triumph over all opposition, if
this continues to be a Republican Cloy
ernment. Democracy may be crushed
out by a consolidated despotism, but
until that is done its battle with wrong
will never be at au end. And the power
of its triumph must speedily come if we
would save the ,free institutions be
queathed to us by the fathers of the
Republic.
Our Duty
In the hour of adversity, the patriot
who Is devoted to principles which he
feels are right and just never falters, but
with renewed energy again hotly en
gages in the conflict with wrong. He
battles not for office or spoils, but for
the rightful administration of Govern. I
ment and the perpetuation of , free in
stitutions. Higher than all merely per
sonal considerations does lie esteem his
country, and on the altar of patriotism
heunhesitatingly sacrifices self. Of such
men Is the Democratic party composed,
and for such there can be no lasting de•
feat. They may meet with temporary
reverses, but it is only the coward and
the faint-hearted who are not inspired
by them to still more vigorous and per
sistent effort. Let us then close up our
ranks and with unflinching determina
tion prepare to renewour attack upon
the enemies of the rigserved rights of
the States and of the irb , hts of a free
people.
The laboring men of the Nation are
with us. The men who left their homes
In foreign lands to enjoy the blessings
of Constitutional government, are with
up. The ablest and most patriotic men,
who have heretofore acted with our op
ponents, are with us. We can, if we
will, gain a victory next month in
Pennsylvania. But how?
We answer by simply performing our
duty; which is—to poll every Demo
cratic vote in the State at the approach
lng Presidential election, and to be, like
true men, superior to all the bribes,
threats or short-lived successes of our
corrupt, unscrupulous and revolutionary
. Radical opponents.
Go to Work
Let every Democrat in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Indiana go to work with a
will to make each at least one convert.
In such an event Seymour and Blair
will be elected, and the country restored
to constitutional rule.
Frauds in Indiana.
In Indiana tue Radical return Judges
threw out the votes of whole districts
where the Democrats had large majori
ties. By so doing they counted out
Raid, a Democratic candidate for Con
gress, and secured the show of a small
~majority for the candidate for Governor.

the patty aro still full of energy and de
termination. With invincible courage
they have risen from temporary defeat,
determined to wrest from the enemy
the victory which was won by fraud
and rascality. Our ranks are rapidly
closing for the November contest, our
lines are steady, and every true man is
ready to put forth more vigorous efforts
than he used In the preliminary battle
of last week. We know the enemy's
WeakP obits now. Thousands of illegal
votes which were polled will be promptly
detected and rejected at the coming
election. The reseals who were 0010.
nized in this State will be needed else
where. The Radicals will not be able
to flood the State with money as they
did. Their candidates for Congress and
their legislators have been bled until
they can not stand a renewed drain.—
The Republicans can not and will not
poll us large a vote in November:ls they
did last week. We might increase our
vote, but if we poll the same vote we
did last week we will certainly carry
Pennsylvania. Shall we do so?
It is for the leaders in the election
districts to say. There is time enough
to effect the object desired. It will re
quire some effort, but not half as much
as some might imagine. Those who
set about it early will be surprised at
the facility with which the desired result
can be accomplished. The Democratic
masses will respond to the call of their
local leaders with ready andl49reased
devotion to the causeivhlch Involves the
best Interests of the nation and their own
private well being: They feel that
this is a contest in which they have a
direct personal interest, and they will
not be dismayed by any slight reverse.
We know the feeling of the people.
We see it manifested by the masses in
many ways. It speaks from their re
solute faces, it Is seen in their kindling
eyes, it is heard in their determined
voices. The masses are all right. ;They
are resolved to push the contest against
the enemies of their country, against

The Result In the City
The result in Laticaster city, if we
make allowance for the palpable frauds
in the Fourth Ward, is one upon which
the Democracy have mod reason
to congratulate themselves. The Radi
cals had imported large numbers of
former residents of this city, many of
whom had not been living here for
years ; and to all such their election
officers granted the right to vote. As
it was we carried five out of the nine
wards. That is enough to give us con
trol of the city government at any time.
All that is needed is for each Democrat
to stand squarely up to the work, reso•
utely refusing to scratch his ticket.
Revolutionary ProJects
The Radicals can not wait until they
begin to uncover their revolutionary
designs. The Baltimore Anzerican, the
proprietor of which is an aspiring and
grasping politician, flushed with the
news of the Stale elections of last week,
boldly announces in his paper that the
State government of Maryland is to be
overturned, the negroes made voters,
and the Democratic majority of white
men subjected to their control. That
such is the design of the Radicals we
have no doubt, and we believe Con
gress will attempt If it does the
right of the people of Maryland to re
sist will be undoubted, and they will be
backed up, if need be, by the whole
manhood of the Democratic party. An
eud must be put to Congressional usur
pation same time and somehow ; and it
would be as well to begin the attempt
with the event of the November election
to revolutionize the government of
Maryland as at any other point.
Illegal Volei
At every poll in the city, where Rad
ical election officers had control, illegal
votes were freely offered, and in more
than one instance men were admitted to
vote who had no right to do so. We
hear from the county that the same
thing occurred repeatedly. There was
a reckless disregard of duty shown which
tells how deeply demoralized men may
become. In this city some parties were
arrested for illegal voting, and others
for attempting to do so. About one of
these cases the course of the Express may
compel us to say something more
definite.
The Ninth .Ward
The Radicals expected to carry the
Ninth Ward. The Democracy made a
gallant and vigorous fight, however,
and gained a complete triumph. Let
them stand by their organization firmly
and they will be sure of even greater
triumphs at each coming election.
WO Might IMO Won.
A full poll of the Democratic vote at
the elecitlon of last week would have
secured our complete tilumph'in Penn
-B.l*ania; and have made certain the
°Wedlock of Sey m our to the Presidency.
We WALK in our power to bury Eadi
wham forever in this good old common
wealth. There are over.two thousand
election districts in this State, and we
are sure we speak within bounds when
we say that there were more than five
Democrats absent from the polls on the
13th in eabh ono of them. It was so in
Lancaster. County, and we have no
doubt it was so in every county in the
State. Our Democratic exchanges all
come to us with confirmation of the
statement we make, These lukewartxt
Democrats, these lazy delinquents are
to blame for our defeat. Some of them
may have had good excuses for neglect
of duty, but, we will venture to say that
nine out of every ten of them could
easily have gone to the polls and have
voted. If they had done so there would
not only have been an end of Radical
rule in Pennsylvania, but the election
of the Democratic candidates for Prof
' dent and Vice President would have
been rendered absolutely certain.
Let these delinquents be made to feel
how much they havedonetolnjuretheir
country. Let their neighbors give
them to understand how they have
marred the hopes of all true patriots.
Let them be fully impressed with the
magnitude of the responsibility which
rested upon them. They lost us the
State. They imperilled our chances for
the Presidential election. They ren
dered probable the success of the Radi
cal candidates. They are responsible
for whatever evils four years more of un
constitutional Radical legislation may
bring upon the country, if Grant should
be elected.
We do not envy such men the con
scions sense ofshafne and remorse which
must fill their breasts, as they reflect
upon the consequences of their conduct.
But, they can attone for the wrong they
have done. Letevery such MEW solemnly
vow that he will never again so neglect
his duty as a citizen in future. Let each
one of them resolve to vote at the coming
Presidential election. Let them swear
that they will never absent themselves
from the polls again until the State and
the Nation are fully redeemed from the
rule of the desperate gang of fanatics
who are constantly plotting for the de.
struction of Constitutional Government
and the overthrow of the liberties of the
people.
If these thoughtless and careless de
linquents will all vote on the 3d day of
November, this State will give a splen
did Democratic majority. We have the
numbers necessary to carry the State.
'Phe only question is, will a full vote be
Polled. If it is our defeat will be changed
to a glorious victory.
No Change of Candidates.
Immediately after the results of the
State elections which took place last
week were announced, the country was
startled by a proposition, set forth and
advocated by the N. Y. World, favoring
a change of the Democratic candidate
for Vice President. The manner In
which the question was presented was
unwise and injudicious. Such a thing,
if deemed advisable, should have been
determined upon quietly, and not one
word in reference to It should have
been permitted to appear in a Demo
cratic newspaper until the change Lad
been made certain, and all arrange
ments for it perfected. It is not neces
sary for us to say that neither
of the candidates were our first
choice. We would much have preferred
Hancock and Hendricks, because we
felt that they were stronger before the
people. But, when the Convention
nominated the distinguished statesman
Horatio Seymour for President, and the
gallant General Frank P. Blair for Vico
President, we went into the canvass
with all our energies.
It has been decided that there can be
no change made now. There is no ne
cessity for it, indeed. Seymour and
Blair are worthy the entire confidence
of the people, we can elect them if we
put forth the proper effort, A full poll
of the Democratic vote will unquestion
ably give us Pennsylvania, Indiana,
New York and enough States to ensure
success. Let the Democracy put forth
I their full energies and they cannot be
beaten. The recent State elections
show that victory lies within their
grasp. It can be won, if every man in
the ranks does his whole duty.
Immutable Principles
There are certain immutable princi
ples which are beyond the influence of
any party success or party defeat. They
are essential to the very existence of
Republican Government, without them
a Republic is only such in name not in
laws or institutions. One of these prin
ciples, which entered largely into the
formation of our Republic, is the right
of the States to regulate their own do
mestic affairs in their own way. There
may be a suspension of this sacred right
of the state, consequent upon the rebel
lion of its citizens against the Federal
Government, but the moment the State
again takes its place in the Union its
rights as such are intact and must be
respected. If the state be then placed
in the hands of an Army Officer it is
only a &pendency subject to the abso
lute despotism of the Emperor, Congress
or whatever power claims by the sword
to govern it. But no Government, in
which states are held in subjection by
the bayonet, is a Republican or Free
Government. On the contrary such a
Government is the most unfortunate,
dreadful, and calamitous despotism that
can befall any people.
Another principle, which must be re
cognized in a Republican Government,
is the right of all its people to share
alike the burthens of taxation. A true
Republic knows no privileged classes.
The manufacturer, capitalist and labor
er, are all under a just and free Gov
ernment, subject to taxation in propor
tion to the property severally possessed
by them. The laborer is not compelled
to toll from dawn until dark for the
purpose of exempting idle and merce
nary aristocrats from taxation; but all
meu, in proportion to the property pos
sessed by them, pay their just share of
the expenses of the Government, whose
duty it is to protect them.
Temporary success may be gained by
a corrupt and disunion Radical Party
that ignores these vital principles, but
they must and will in the end triumph,
or our free institutions perish. There is
no compromise, no terms to be made
with the reckless and unprincipled men
who seek to subvert the liberties of the
free white men of America. The gal
lant Democracy of our country will see
that the free institutions of our fathers
are not wantonly destroyed, but trans•
mitted as a priceless legacy—a glorious
heritage—to future generations.
Coercion of Voters
The Radicals have been making a
terrible outcry against Southern white
men because it was reported that some
of them had refused to employ negroes
who voted the Republican ticket. Yet
Radical manufacturers and others em
ployed the same means to coerce white
men into voting as they dictated last
week. One instance of this kind oc•
curred at the nickel mines in this county.
The same game was employed at the
Lochiel Iron Works at Harrisburg.—
Men were summarily discharged for
declaring their intention to vote the
Democratic ticket. That many votes of
poor men were thus controlled we hear
in this State is certain. If it be wrong
for Southern planters to refuse to em
ploy Radical negroes, is It right for
Northern capitalists to turn white men
out of employment for voting the Dem
ocratic ticket.

The Republican pad" has suoceeded

Accounts fromall quarters of the State
itipder lt no Wager doubtful that the
traudsig whielf we eitroogitleant•here
it horde Wore but types of those which
were perpetrated In every other county,
and wore not isolated and sporadic
cases due to the greater depravity of the
Republican party of Lancaster county.
These fraude,have been djoteted by the
Republican Stets Central Cdoimittee,
and to their successful execution the
Rebublican inajciriti in Pennsylvania
le due. Their el:forte have been directed
chiefly to the swelling of the vote on
their State ticket, which everywhere in
this county runsmore, or lees .ahead of
the county ticket, notwithstanding the
personal interest which the candidates
on that tick ethad,iti swelling their own
vote. When the vote for candidates for
Congress throughout the Slate is
summed up, we believe it will show a
handsome Democratic Majority, and
that the State may therefore be relied
on for Seymour and Blair In November.
We doubt whether any district in the
State can show a more unblushing piece
of fraud than was vouchsafed to us in
the 4th Ward of this city, under the
immediate eye and skillful superin
tendence of Oliver J. Dickey, the im
maculate representative whom the Re
publicans have selected as their repre
sentative In Congress, and who has thus
boldly given to his constituents a strik
ing exhibition of the amount of honesty
and integrity which he has at his com
mand for their service on the floor of
Congress.
In that Ward the Republican vote on
the State ticket is 360; the Demdcratio
vote 145; while on the county ticket the
Republican vote is but 26.3, and the
Democratic vote is 186. The fraud here
is palpable and manifest on the face of
the return ; the Republicans themselves
admit, doubtless glory In it, and tell us
that we are mistaken in supposing that
the election officers manipulated the
tickets, the job being done in an
entirely different way. Mr. Dickey
says that he could have run up
his vote in the same way if he bad
wished, but that "he did not need the
votes and the State ticket did." We
are told on high Republican authority
that the fraud was executed by printing
a number of Democratic County and
Judiciary tickets and Republican State
tickets, all In the same type as the De
mocratic ticket, tying the three tickets
together with the State ticket inside,
and paying a man on the Democratic
poll-committee $4O, to stand near
the window and distribute them tosuch
Democrats as would not be likely to
examine their tickets, but would be sat
isfied that they were all right as they
got them from one whom they knew to
be a Democrat, and if a hasty exami
nation was made the probabilities were
that the spurious State ticket would not
be detected between the genuine Judi
ciary and County tickets.
This was a nice scheme and proved
very successful; but what do honest
men think of the leaders of a party
who would concoct so vile a plan to de
fraud a citizen out of his suffrage and
deceive him into voting for candi
dates and a governmental policy
that he had intended to vote against?
What do our Democratic fellow•citizens
of the Fourth Ward, who did not ex
amine their ballots, think of their hav
ing been thus basely deceived into
voting for principles which they des
pise, and against those which they
fondly cherish? And what do the peo
ple think of their Congressman who
stood by and saw this thing done? We
have: been loth to believe that Mr.
Dickey was aware of this fraud,
and we have waited to hear him
denounce and repudiate it, and to
see him endeavor to have the wrong
righted before the Board of Return
Judges made it irremediable, but he
has uttered no word nor stirred hand
or foot. We find the plot to have been
well advertised among his Republican
friends, and we can no longer acquit
him of a knowledge of its execution at
his own poll and under his immediate
eye. We are exceedingly sorry to be
lieve this of him or any other man
whom we have been used to regard as
an honorable gentleman, and we shall
be exceedingly glad to be advised that
we are mistaken and that the guilt lies
elsewhere.
COMPLIMENT TO COL. DICIC EY.--Tho
Fourth Ward, the home of Col. 0. J.
Dickey, the successor in Congress to Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens, gave the unprecedented
Republican majority of one hundred and
sixty-live yesterday on the State ticket.—
The Fourth is the Banner Ward. Hurrah
for ,the Fourth I—Express.
The above paragraph from the Ex
press is one which Col. Dickey will not
thank that paper for publishing. Col.
Dickey's majority in his own Ward is
only 78, and there is not the slightest
doubt that the majority of 165, which
is claimed for the P.adical State Ticket
in the Fourth Ward, was the result of
a piece of most rascally ballot box stuff
ing or of a cheat in the count.
It is certainly not a very high com
pliment to Col. Dickey that such a
thing should have occurred in his
Ward; particularly when it is consid
ered that he was personally present at
the polls all day. However, we are
not sure what ideas of political morali
ty may be entertalued by the Express.
We do happen to know that it is a sort
of political private craft, levying black
mail on the men of its party whom it
supports for office. That such a paper
should rejoice over the undoubted fraud
in the Fourth Ward, and attribute it as
a compliment to its candidate for Con
gress, is, perhaps, only natural. We do
not think Col. Dickey will agree with
the Express, if he thinks of the matter
in a sober mood. He may though.—
There is no accounting for the peculiar
ideas presented by what is known as
the Clod and Morality party.
The Glorious Eighth Ward.
The gallant Democracy of the Eighth
Ward covered themselves with glory
on Tuesday. They are as true men as
ever were found doing battle for great
political principles. They can neither
be intimidated nor bought. They know
their duty to their country, and always
discharge it with a resoluteness of pur
pose worthy of freeman. They under
stand that the battle in which they are
engaged involves the best interests of
the nation, as well as their own person
al interests. They feel that it isa strug
gle of the masses against organized
monopolies, a contest in which every
laboring man is directly and individu
ally interested. Knowing, understand
ing and feeling this, they can always be
relied upon to do their whole duty. All
honor to the gallant and invincible De
mocracy or the Eighth Ward.
Official Vote of the County;
The official vote of the County will be
found on our fourth' page. It will be
seen that the Radicals managed to figure
up more votes for the State Ticket in
nearly every district than were cast for
any of the other candidates. Thus they
swelled their majority.
The Fifth Ward Redeemed.
On Tuesday the Democracy of the
Fifth Ward carried it by a handsome
majority. This was the result of proper
organization and vigorous effort. Let
them see to it that they hold the van
tage ground they have gained. If they
stand together, shoulder to shoulder,
they can
. constantly repeat their vic
tory. Let every man stand squarely up
to the work at the coming Presidential
election, and they can do better even
than they did on Tuesday last.

poor sewing girl, alike.
These are some of the precedents, fi
nancial and economio, which the elec
tion of Grant will be used to confirm
and establish. There are others of even
a graver character, affecting our social
and political status, which must not be
overlooked. Among these are—
The enforcement of Negro Suffrage.
The inauguration of a war of races,—
with
The conversion of ten States of the
Union into so many Yankee San Do
mangos, Ilaytie and Mexicos.
Now, let it be born in mind, we do
not speak of these as grievances in the
future tense. They are thingspast and
present—things which, and the eflect
of which, the Democratic party are sol
emnly pledged to redress, and to pre
vent the recurrence of,—but which,
should Grant be elected, will he received
as Radical precedents, warranting the
repetition of them In future, wherever
the interests of the demagogues In pow
er with him as their leader shall point
that way.
It remains for the people, then, to
say whether they are ready to open the
door to such precedents, whether they
are prepared to turn their backs on the
bitter experiences of the past, and to
give a new lease of power to the bad
men of the wicked party that have
come so near making a total wreck of
popular liberty, constitutional gov
ernment, and of everything, in short,
for which our revolutionary ancestors
thought it worth while, at the cost of a
seven years' conflict to throw off the
British yoke.
Infamous Frauds
That the Radicals perpetrated the
most gigantic, unblushing and rascally
frauds throughout this State in yester
day's election is unquestioned and un
questionable. We had a specimen of it
in the Fourth Ward of this city. C. J.
Dickey, the Radical candidate for Con
gress lives in that ward. He is person
ally popular. He stood at the polls
from morning until night yesterday.
He had stickers printed, and he used
them. Yet his majority was only
aevcntycight, while the Radical ma
jority for the State ticket was one hun
dred and sixty-two. That a bold and
unblushing fraud was here perpetrated,
no man doubts. The Democratic can
didate for Auditor General was cheated
out of at least one hundred votes. We
believe this was done in the counting out,
or by some other process of ballot-box
stuffing, known to the initiated. There
is another thing, that Democrats were
paid to circulate the Radical State Tick
et, That is a thing that would hay
been sure to be detected, and we cannot
believe it possible. The matter should
be thoroughly investigated, and we
hope proceedings will be commenced at
once.
That frauds were committed through
out the State we have no doubt. The
Radicals in their desperation were pre
pared to resort to any desperate expedi
ent, and we have no doubt that they
showed the same recklessness elsewhere
which characterized their conduct in
this city.
Negro Totes In Ohio
No negro can lawfully vote in the
State of Ohio. Last year the Radicals
attempted to striko the word white from
the State Constitution, but negro suf
frage was defeated by over fifty thous
and majority. Still, In spite of the
Constitution, and in despite of the de
cision of the question by the people,
thousands of negroes were permitted to
vote in precints where the Radicals had
control of the election boards last Tues
day. This piece of rascality was per
petrated under cover of a decision of the
Radical Supreme Court of the State
which declared a mulatto with a pre
ponderance of white blood In his veins
Lot to be a negro in view of the law.
But the Radical election officers did not
adhere to the limitation set by the
Court.. They allowed every negro to
vote who was brought to the polls, no
matter how unmistakably and corn
pletely Congo he was in origin. The
blackest Guinea negroes in the Western
Reserve were voted. and even lu Cin
cinnati hundreds of them voted in the
different Radical wards. This is a
specimen of the regard which Radical
election officers have for law and for
their oaths of office. It is not strange
they were able to count up a majority
of a few thousands in Ohio when such
means were resorted to. Power thus
gained can not be held long. A day of
retribution will come before long, and
the rememberance of the xascalitiee
practiced by the Radicals will yet make
them most detestable in the eyes of all
honest men.
Let the Soldiers Read
The following item is worth treasur
ing up. It is the truth, and shows the
noble heart of the man who is the stand
ard bearer of the democracy:
" When General Rosecrans' army was af
flicted with scurvy, an appeal was made to
the Governors of the Northern States for
fresh vegetables: All of them except Gov
ernor Seymour responded to the call by
referring the subject to the several Sanitary
and Christian Commissions. Governor
Seymour sent one hundred and fifty bar
rels of potatoes raised on his own farm.
They were the only vegetables received
before the army marched."

Dangers Involved in Grant's Election.
If General Grant should be eleoted the
last check upon the extreme Radicals
will have been removed. Powerless as
President Johnson has been rendered
by the two-third majority in Congress,
his will still stood as a breakwater be—
fore the tumultuous waves of wild and
reckless fanaticism. Unconstitutional
acts have been repeatedly passed over
his veto, but tho clear, strong and able
messages which he has, from time to
time, sent forth to be read by all men,
have drawn the attention of the people
to the usurpations and the reckless and
hurtful legislation of Congress.
The recklessness of the Radical ma
jority in Congress ought to have been
sufficient to alarm the whole American
people. The members have not only
shown a shameless disregard of their
oaths of office, but they have openly
exhibited a disposition to sacrifice the
public good to the expedients which
seemed to be demanded by partizan ne
cessity. To maintain their hold upon
power they. have taken into their own
hands nearly every function of the Ex
ecutive, thus rendering the office of
President a mere nullity, and have muz
zled the Supreme Court. Such bold and
reckless usurpations by Congress of the
powers wisely allotted by the Constitu
tion to the other co•ordinate branches of
the Government ought to have alarmed
the whole people. The saddest signs of
the times is to be round In the fact that
one•half the people of the Northern
States, and perhaps a small fraction
more than half, are wilting to grant to
this revolutionary faction in Congress
a new lease in their power to do evil.
If General Grant should be elected he
must do one of two things. He must
either submit to be the mere tool of the
very worst men in Congress (for they
are the leaders) or he must enter upon
such a contest with them as President
Johnson has waged unsuccessfully.—
He must either sanction every mad
scheme the Radicals may desire, or he
must set up his will in opposition to
theirs. Has he the qualities of mind
which will lead him to resist assaults
upon the Constitution? Has he the po
litical sagacity which will enable him
to foresee the evil effects of crude and
hasty legislation? Will his cabinet be
composed of wise and judicious states
men, who will disregard the passionate
demands of party and look only to the
good of the whole country? Will Gen
eral Grant not be a mere dumb tool
in the hands of the party? He has de
clared he will " have no policy of his
own." Will he adhere to that silly
Jeclaration? •
These are serious questions, and they
demand the immediate and most
thoughtful attention of the American
people.
There is great peril to all that is dear
est to the true patriot in the unchecked
triumph of a party which has shown it
self in a thousand ways most incapable
of a wise administration of public affairs.
It is not well even for its own constitu•
ency that any party should have un
questioned and unrestrained license to
follow the promptings of unscrupulous
leaders. The hope of republics is to be
found in the watchful jealousy of the
masses. So long as they are ready to
check promptly every assault upon the
liberties of the people, and to visit with
sudden and sure defeat any party which
undertakes to violate the fundamental
law upon which tho Republic is based,
so long will the Government be faith
fully and honestly administered. But,
if the people sanction usurpations of
power, if they fail to turn corrupt offi
cials out °fake, if they allow any party
to assume complete control of the Gov
ernment for the purpose of continuing
their partisan rule, then indeed may
wise men begin to despair of the Repub
lic.
That many thousands of honest Re
publicans are trembling with fear for
the results which may come from the
unchecked rule of the desperate men
who have control of their party we
verily believe. We notice many grave
faces injtheir ranks. While the rabble
utters its wild shout over the victories
which have been won by a most lavish
expenditure of money, and by other
still more disreputable means, many a
conscientious Republican fails to join in
the notes of triumph. They dread the fu
ture. They do not believe that it will be
well for the country toentrUst such un
limited power in the hands of the men
who have done so little to entitle them
to the confidence of the people.
Reconstruction tObe lteerdlittuctedi
United States Senator Morton, in a
.
recent speech lir Indlana,says . :
uNve Ns twenty-font members of the
Georgia LegisilAture expelled on amount of
their color. now WAS fl done? Why, it
. was done by a clique of Democratic white
mambas", • together with some miserable
renegades, Who embraced all the oolorod
men In a resolution denying their eligibility,
so that they would not vote on it themselves.
Tho nogroes might have done the same to-
ward the white men. This was an act of
re vol u t ion,and needs oorrection at the hands
of a loyal Congress, which, I doubt not, It
will receive. Leon gross has the power to pro
tect now States. Reconstruction is not fin
ished until it is established."
The Senator but utters the lawless,
reckless ideas of his party, which shows
the Rump will never be done, but ever
doing. The Reconstruction acts are
here pronounced a fallure,--as every
Democrat in Congress foretold they
would be,—and hence Senator Morton
proposes to reconstruct reconstruction.
But count the cost. At least 100,000
men in arms will be necessary for Con
gress, thus ever to be governing white
men's States,—with negroes,-60,000 of
them may, perhaps, be Southern negro
militia, not the less to come. out of the
[ pockets of the people. Are we ready
jfor all that?
The theory of our Government is Self.
I government—State Government, Home
Government. The theory of Senator
Morton, and all his party, is Congress
Government, --foreign Government,—
and for the cost of all this, the people
of the United States must pay.
But how long do we Northern dupes
deem that the Senator Mortons will be
content with the Northern people gov
erning themselves, and how long before
they Insist upon Congress governing us?
Already, we are told by bills in Con
gress, Negro Suffrage is to be Inflicted
upon the Northern and Western States
by acts of Congress.
There is no "Peace" among the
American people, but in Self-Govern
ment, Home Government, State Gov
ernments. Consolidation is perpetual
restlessness and agitation, if not war.
It is practically and utterly impossible
to govern 40,000,000 of people by the
means of a Congress in Washington.—
Only the State Governments, the
County and Town Governments, the
Home Governments, know the real
wants of the people. Consolidation be
comes despotism and war. Where
Wrong is sowed, Blood will be the bar
vest.
The Victory In Philadelphia
In spite of the frauds of the Radicals,
and the rejection of multitudes of legal
votes, the Democratic candidates have
all been declared elected, except one.
The Age says:
The Return Judges of the City met yes
terday, and after canvassing the vote of the
several Wards, cast on Tuesday last, gave
certificates of election to the following Dem
ocrats, with the annexed majorities ;
Daniel M. Fox, Mayor, majority MS,
John M. Molloy. Receiver of Taxes, ma
jority 238.
George Getz, City Controller, majority
728.
Thomas J. Barger, Solicitor., majority 892.
Major David P. Weaver, City Commis
sioner, majority 973.
Farman Sheppard, District Attorney,
majority 1, 276.
Albert W. Fletcher, Clerk of Court of
Common Pleas, majority 631.
Thomas Greenbank Associate Judge of
the District Court, majority 125.
From the above it will be seen'that
the whole Democratic City and County
ticket is elected with the exception of
the Hon. William H. Hirst, our candi-
date for President Judge of the District
Court, who has been counted out by an
alleged majority of 2fi against him, by
the Radical wire-workers and manipu•
4ators.
Wow Ohio was Carried I
A correspondent of the N. Y. World,
writing from Cleveland, tells how the
Radicals carried Ohio. He says:
" From information upon which implicit
reliance can be placed. it is absolutely true
that not less than fifteen thousand illegal
Radical votes were cast on Tuesday, be
sides an illegal negro vote of 8,000 In r orth
ern Ohio. Carpet-baggers from Michi
gan, probably the agents of ' blood-letting'
Chandler, swarmed Northwestern Ohio,
while Ashtabula, Lake, Trumbull, and
Malaoning counties were filled with the
hirelings of the Radical State Central Com
mittee from New York. Besides this, every
negro from Pittsburg, from Indiana, De
troit, and thousands from Kentucky, wore
rushed into those counties where the Radi
cals have large majorities and, of course,
manage things to suit themselves regard
less of law—that "Paradise" on God's
footstool, the beantiful town of Oberlin,
east three hundred and twenty voles on Tues
day, and we find the Radical presses gloat
ing over such a high handed outrage."
The Bight Spirit
An old Democrat from the interior,
who has worked earnestly in the good
cause since the days of Jackson, writes
to us as follows:
When we take into consideration the tin
heard of exertions of our opponents and the
lavish use of money, we did as well as I
expected, in increasing our vote and ma
jority of last year as we did. We are going
to work again. Our friends from several
of the townships say they will do better at
the November election—that in conse
quence of the fine day some of the voters
could not be got from their corn and buck
wheat, but all promise to go to what they
call the " great election." We have always
labored under this difficulty at Presidential
elections, strange as it may seem to you, of
getting our voters to appreciate the import
ance of the first one. We are again at
work as actively as ever. Our first step will
be to issue circulars to our active friends in
all the townships, and follow it up by send
mg persons from town to town to see that
theiwork is properly done. I feel confident
that we can and will increase our majority,
large as it was.
That is the right spirit, and if emu
lated in every country, we will easily
overcome the apparent Radical major'.
ty in November. Democrats! Union
men ! Frieuds of the Constitution !
Press on—press on ! Don't falter an in
stant. Earnest work will carry the
day !—Philadelphia Age.
Was Lincoln u Traitor?
We will leave the Radicals to answer
that question. He, however, was op
posed to their system of reconstruction.
Or at least he was opposed to negro euf
ffage, one of the leading features of re
construction. The following will do to
read to Radicals in this State, who are
determined to vote for negro suffrage.
It is found in a speech of Mr. Lincoln :
" I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever
have been, in favor of bringing about, in
my way, the social and political equality of
the white and black races—that I am not
nor ever have been, in favor of mak log
voters or jurors out of neg.roes; nor of qual
ifying them to bold office; nor to inter
marry with white people; and I will say
in addition to this that there is a physical
difference between the white and black
races, which I believe will forever forbid
the two races living together on terms of
political and social equality. And inasmuch
as they cannot so live, while they do remain
together there must be the position of supe
rior and inferior, and I, as much as any
other man, am in favor of having the posi
tion assigned to the white race,"
Death or General Rowell Cobb.
General Howell Cobb, of Georgia, died
very suddenly at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, on Friday morning
The manner of General Cobb's death was
this: He was standing at the top of the
mein staircase, leading from the office of the
hotel, talking with his wife. His daughter,
who is also staying at the hotel, was not
present at the time. Suddenly he put his
handto his head, and, uttering an excia•
mation, cried, "I am 111—very ill I" He
staggered against the balustrade, sank up
on the upper step and partially fainted.—
Assistance was instantly obtained, and he
was carried into the reception room and
laid upon a lounge. He never spoke after
wards, butin a few minutes, with one strong
convulsive struggle, breathed his last. His
remains have been cared for by certain
leading members of the First Presbyterian
Church in Madison avenue,
who held per
sonal and denominational relations with
General Cobb and his family.
The Prestdent'aOrder Paul/air the Bad
The President's order to military com
manders regarding elections in the so-called
reconstructed States has caused quite a
breeze in Radical quarters, where oongrat
ulations on the quiet attitude of the Presi
dent have been of late so frequent. The
strong array of congressional enactments
against such a course as General Reynolds
has pursued in issuing military edicts In
Texas puzzles them not a little, but they
threaten all manner of horrible things
should the people of the States in question
attempt to vote at the presidential election.
—Wash. (Ir. N. Y. World.
Colonel William Thorne Williams, an
old citizen of Savannah, Ga., died last
week. He was a son of Major James Wil
liams, an officer of the revolutionary army,
and was born in Philadelphia on the 17th
day of June, 1785. He removed to Georida
in 1803, and established the first publishing
house in the State in the year 1805.

UTICA, Oct. 18.—A conference took place
yesterday between Governor Seymour and
certain members of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, in relation to some
important measures to be adopted In the
present canvass. During the conference,
Governor Seymour alluded to the sugges•
tione made in certain quarters as to a
change in the Presidential ticket, and said
that any change which should be made
must include his withdrawal ; that he was
nominated against his wishes, and it would
be a relief to him If any other name wore
substituted for his own.
The committee replied that no change had
been contemplated by any of them, and
that, in their judgment, nothing could be
so infuric;us to the Democratic cause as a
change of candidates, and they refused to
entertain the question.

Rambo Preparing to (lather the Fruits or
a Radical Victory,
The negroes of Penney Ivania aud other
Northern States are preparing to gather
the fruits of the Radical victories, which
were gained at the recent State elections.
Some time since a convention of the
negroes of the Border States was held In
Baltimore. They passed resolutions
highly laudatory of General Grant, and
declaring themselves to be in favor of
his election. They also resolved to call
a National Convention of negroes to be
held in Washington city shortly after
the assembling of the next Congress.—
The call has been Issued by a Pennsyl
vania negro. We find It In the NeW
York Tribune. It rends as follows 1
- A Colored National Convention.
To the Colored Men of the United States
BRETHREN : On the 4th and 611 of August,
1868, a Convention of Delegates from the
" Border States" was held at Baltimore,
Md. To that Convention, delegates from
other States were invited and attended. The
States thus represented were Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, Missouri New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania. After mature delibera
tion and wide correspondence, the members
of the "Border State Convention" voted
unanimously to issue a call for a Conven
tion of the Colored Men of the Nation, to he
held in the City of Washington, D. C., at 12
o'clock M., on the second Wednesday, 13th
day, of January, 186 D. The partial or total
exclusion of colored citizens from the emir
else of the elective franchise and other citi
zen rights, In so many States of the Union,
especially demands, and ought to rweive,
the continued consideration 01 every colored
man, and of the Congress of the nation.
Surely, the Fourteenth Amendment of the
United States Constitution, recently adopt
ed, does not justify Ruch exclusion. Surely,
citizenship as declared by that Amend
ment, carries with it the rights of citizens ;
and the evident duty of a liberty-loving and
a loyal Congress is to see that a republican
form of government is guaranteed to every
State. That is pot guaranteed while any
State is permitted to withhold from citizens,
on account of color merely, the rights of
citizens. Whatever other subjects you may
deem of sufficient importance to bung before
the National Convention, brethren, this ex
clusion la the all•absorang question of the
present, and must call forth our earnest
action, by petition, by personal appeal, by
protest, and by what votes wo have, until
justice be done. The right secured of voting,
irrespective of color, will necessarily restore
to us other rights of which we are now de
prived. We, therefore,
cordially and re
spectfully invite you from the East, the
West, the North end the South, to meet in
Washington, by Delegates, on the day
specified, consult upon the issues at
present ecting us. Justice to ourselves
can be n njustice to any.
By orde of the " Border State Conven
tion."

That the negroes will meet In National
Convention Is certain. That their de
mands will be granted by a Radical
Congress we have Just as little doubt.
Republicans may say they are not In
favor of negro equality In the North,
but we will soon see bow much truth
there la In their assertions. Then Con•
greas will give them a chance to be fully
tested.
The Wickedest Man in Trouble
The notorious John Allen, his wife, and
live of his bosrdera,four of whole were wo
men, were on Saturday brought before Jus
tice Dowling, at the Tombs Police Court, on
the charge of Benjamin Swan, who averred
that he slept in Allen's house on Friday
night, and was robbed then and there of
815. He designated Margaret Ware us the
thief, and she was committed. A complaint
was then made by Captain Thorne, of the
Fourth Ward Police, against Allen for keep •
lug a disorderly house, whereupon the fol
lowing conversation ensued :
Justice Dowling—What have you to say,
Allen ?
Allen—Well, your honor, I have only to
say that during the past six weeks prayer
meetings have been held constantly in my
house, and I have not used it for any other
business.
Justice—What do you say to the charge
of robbery against the woman ?
Allen—l was not at home last night, and
can say nothing about it. The Captain of
pollee does not want to have me into priaon,
I know, for I have always been good friends
with him Do you, Captain?
Captain—l have nothing to say about it.
Allen—l will promise not to have any
thing to do with political zifatters, if I am
let go.
Justice—Do you mean to say that politi
cal matters have anything to do with this
ase?
Allen—l don't mean to say anything at
all about that ; I will promise not to have
anything to do with piffles If I am let go.
Justice—Do you mean 'to say that this
charge Is " put up?"
Allen—l don't say anything at all about
it ; but I tell you what, your Honor, I will
promise not to vote at all If lam let go. I
will go and tell the Captain which way I
am going to vote if I do.
Justice—Yes, go and tell him.
Allen—Only for the kindness of the police
I never could have kept my place for so
many years. They have always been my
friends. [Laughter.]
Allen was then held in $3OO ball to answer
at the Special Sessions.
Daniel Creedon, a Water street lodging
house keeper, became his bondsman.
,The violent deaths in New York city
average one thousand per annum, and the
deaths resulting from disease, but Investi
gated by the coroner, amount to about one
thousand more. The fees alone paid to the
coroners of that city amount, to $ 26 , 500
every year.
