We Can Win•-•-Shall We DJ So?
The Democracy of Pennsylvania have
resolved to make one grand and nnited
effort to carry the State for Seymour and
Blair, and all the reports. which reach
us lead us to believe that they will suc
ceed. That they can do so no intelli
gent man in the party doubts, and even
the Radicals admit nurpower to accom
plish the desired result. In all their
strongholds one opponents put forth
their entire, available strength at the.
State election. They polled thousands
of fraudulent votes, and increased their
show o; strength by the most unblush
ing rascalitics. We know their weak
points now, and can take advantage of
our knowledge.
In Lancaster city they reduced the
legitimate Democratic majority over one
hundred by the most glaring frauds.—
They can not repeat the game. In the
county they added over one hundred to
llartranft's majority by voting double
State tickets, which were counted.

They are devoted to their party, because

shows that Elartrauft's majotity is only

The Impending Election
The Democratic and Conservative
' voters of the country cannot attach- too
much Importance to the app*Chilig
Presidential election; for, on the', result
of that electron the peace and pros
perity of our country.,depend.". If Alle
present party in power succ:eeds in elSet
ing its candidate, Gen. Grant, and con
tinues to adopt and put in operation
laws which are in direct conflict with
the plain provisions of the Constitution
and the inherent rights of the States of
the Federal Union, the gravest conse
quences are to be feared. How long,
with impunity, can — great States - It
made mere dependencies upon the will
and caprice of a reckless and revolu•
tionary Radical Congress? Can an in
famous Cabal of Congressional conspira
tors consign the government of the fair
est portion of our National domain to
the absolute will of an Inferior race,
without also imperilling the reserved
rights of the Northern States, and thus
insure the future inevitable destruction
of the whole Union? Is it right that
invidious distinctions should be made
in levying taxes, so that a large propor
tion of our wealthiest capitalists are free
from all the burtheus of sustaining the
government that protects both them
and their property? Is the Chief Ex
ecutive of the Nation to be impeached
whenever he may, in the exercise of the
power given him by the Constitution,
think it best for the interests of
the people to veto an act of
Congress? Must a large and expensive
standing army be kept In the Southern
States for the sole purpose of disfran
chising a people of the same race as our
selves, and to compel them to submit to
the partizan measures of a sectional
Congress? These are but a few of the
prominent queries which will naturally
arise in the minds of all unprejudiced
and intelligent voters when they shall
come to deposit their ballots in Novem
ber, and unless all these interrogatories
can be satisfactorily answered, no man
who acts with the freedom of the patriot
can with a clear conscience vote for
(leneral Grant, who has permitted him
self to appear before the people as the
Candidate and therefore the Represen
tative of the Radical party and, inure
over, the avowed approver and champion
of all the violent and tyrannical meas
ures which have thus far been adopted
by the Radical Congress, and which will
forever render its very memory a re
proach to our National fair fame, and its
acts detestable to a large majority of the
free white men of this Great Republic.
We do not believe that a majority of
the legal voters of the great State of
Pennsylvania will sustain any man,
however valuable his military services
may have proven during the late war,
who now asks their suffrages as the
avowed exponent of the destructive
principles advocated by the leaders o
the Radical party. The editors of Rad
ical newspapers are well aware of this
fact, and consequently we find In them
all, from the New York Tribunc down
to the notoriously mendacious Erpress,
of this city, frantic appeals to local
Radical politicians to preserve their
party organizations and to press the
Presidential campaign with all the
energy which the depleted treasury and
the demoralized condition of the party
will admit. The Radicals are fully
sensible 01 their present desperate con
dition, and they only hope to succeed at
the impending election in November
through the indifference and apathy of
the Democrats of the Keystone State.
Let this fact, so apparent to every ob
server of passing events, inspire each
Democrat with a just sense of the im
portance of his voting at the coming
Presidential election ; by his so doing
the Democratic candidates will be tri
umphantly elected, and the future
Peace, Happiness and Prosperity of our
beloved Union fully assured.
Governor Sep moor's Speech
We publish elsewhere a report of the
great speech of Horatio Seymour, de
livered at Buffalo, New York. The
words he utters will be eagerly read by
men of all parties, and none but the
most bigoted call help deriving new
light on the great political questions of
the day from the clear exposition of
them which Mr. Seymour makes. lie
is universally regarded as one of the
greatest of living statesmen, and most
eloquent and practical political orators.
11e is such a man as the poet graphically
describes when he says:
"Gnat offices Nvil I have great talents,
Anti God gives to each nmn
The virtue, temper, understanding, last°

To
.0,1, and curtrage to nciress wrmws:
Should Horatio Seymour be chosen
President, as he deserves to be, and will
be, if the Democracy put forth all their
energies, he will prove to be in truth
" the deliverer of an injured land."—
Undel• him we shall have a wise, states
manlike, and patriotic administration
of the Government of the United States.
He will be placed in a position in which
lie can advance all the best interests of
the Nation, and he will prove to be a
true defender of all the rights and lib
erties of the people. Under his mild
beneficent rule we should witness a
speedy and perfect restoration of the
Union. Constitutional government
would be restored to all parts of our
distracted country, civil laws would
everywhere be recognized as supreme,
military despotism would be done away
with, a new era of perfect good feeling
would be inaugurated between the con
tending sections, and peace, true, last
ing, permanent peace,—a peace estab
lished upon the lirm basis of fraternal
feeling and devoted Jove for a common
country would come to this distressed
land, and come to stay.
To achieve such a glorious result no
effort should he spared. Every one
should feel it to be his bounden duty to
labor for such a result with all the en
ergy he possesses. The time is short,
but the creat work can be accomplish
ed. To every Democrat we say, read
the eloquent speech of your illustrious
leader, and then go tp work with re
newed zeal and diligence. •
One In a Hundred
The official returnsshow that the total
vote at the late election in this State, was
over mill that the Radical ma
jority for Auditor General is 9,677 and for
Surveyor General, 9,1 Thus, it will he
seen that the Democrats polled 49j per
cent. of the whole vote of the State,
whilst the Radicals polled bnx per cent.
of it, A change, therefore, of one vole in
rr ry hundred from the Radical to the
Deinociaticside, will give the Democrats
.50A per cent. of the vote and leave the
Radicals 11)':i of it, which will give the
Democrats a majority of 4,3.53 In the
State. The result of the election,
seems, therefore, to hang upon this pos
sible change of one vole in a hundred.
DEMOCRATS,CONSEVRVATI V ES,
W ILL YOU NOT REDOUBLE YOUR
EFFORTS AND ACCOMI'LISII
THIS INSIGNIFICANT CHANGE
Radical Ilittred of Catholics
The spiritof hatred toward the Catho
lic Church which was so rampant a few
years since still exists. The other night
the Radicals of Bellefonte had a proces
sion to celebrate the victory In this
State, and when passing (he Catholic
Church of the town they stopped and
deliberately gave hideous groans for It
and its pastor. Here was the same
spirit which excited the Philadelphia
riots. The will to burn the church In
Bellefonte existed. Yet, strange to say,
there are Catholics who vote with this
despicable party. We have no doubt
enough of them gave support to their
mortal foe in this State to make up the
majority that party received at the re
cent election. Some of these.days they
will see their folly, hitt it may be too
late then for them to arrest the evils
they have brought upon themselves.
The Battle or the_ Masses Agatnai
Monopolies.
.slpce_the State elections in Penruojii..
valid, Olio and Indiana, the .Nadicals
e throWn off the mask they wore.
They now speak out much more bolgy
than they did.
The leaders of the party openly avow
their Intention to force negro suffrage
and complete political equality upon all
the States by act of Congress. That they
will do so, If Grant is elected, we have
not a doubt.
They no longer hesitate to declare that
that the five-twenty bonds must and
be paid in gold; and-that ,
tooin
spite of the fact that the most sagacious.
and honest men of their own party have'
deliberately avowed that, by the express
terms of the law creating them, they
are payable in the'legal tender paper of
the country. Thus a greatly increased
burthen is to be laid upon the backs of
the laboring men of the nation for the
benefit of the bloated bondholders, who
have furnished the vast sums of money
by which the recent elections were
fraudulently and corruptly controlled.
They now boast that there neither
can nor will be any taxation of Govern
ment Bonds. The rich and favored
capitalists have purchased complete ex
emption from any proper share in the
expenses of maintaining the Govern
ment, by contributing millions of money
to import Radical voters. into Pennsyl
vania, Indiana and Ohio, and to pur
chase venal and wretched creatures to
cast a ballot for their candidates.
The laboring men of this country
have still a chance to defend themselves
against the outrages contemplated by
the Radicals. They can prevent the en
forcement of negro equality in Pennsyl
vania, and other States, by voting for
the Democratic candidates for Presi
dent and Vice President. By electing
them they can insure that the bond
holders will be paid according to the
letter and spirit of the law, as inter
preted by its author, Thaddeus Stevens.
By defeating Grant they can force capi
tal to bear its proper share of taxation,
and relieve themselves from the heavy
burthens which now press upon the
shoulders of the poor, while the rich are
exempted.
The battle iS.OIIO of the pedple against
a corrupt party which is supported by
all the greedy and graspingmonopolists
in the land. Money was poured out
like water to control votes at the late
elections. Every appliance that could
be devised was brought into play. Brib
ery and corruption stalked abroad
without any attempt at disguise. The
cause of the people has suffered a tem
porary reverse ; but gigantic as were the
efforts of the monopolists, enormous as
was their expenditure of money, they
only succeded in securing the most
meagre majorities iu Pennsylvania and
Indiana.
The toiling masses can redeem these
States and control the Presidential elec
tion. if they will. This is their fight.
All they hold dear is involved in the
contest. ( 'onstitutional government, the
*restoration of the Union, white su
premacy, the payment of the bulk of
the public debt according to the con
tract, equality of taxation, and all the
issues in which the people are interested
are now at stake.
Let the masses do vigorous battle on
the ad of November, and all will yet be
well. They can win a great victory.—
If they are true to themselves they will
do so. Let them close the ranks and
push the contest with all their energies,
rind they can nut hc beaten.
If they act the part of cowards, if they
allow themselves to be beaten in this
struggle, they may as well bow their
necks submissively to the yoke. They
will have task-masters set over them.
Their daily labor will be tolled, and
more than a tithe of all they make will
be taken to keep up the extravagant
system of government devised by the
domineering fanatics who make up the
Radical Congress. While favored classes
continually grow richer the poor will
constantly grow poorer. The laboring
classes of the United States will sink to.
the dependent condition of serfs, or the
degraded slate of the pauper workmen
of Europe. The will be compelled to
dispense with luxuries, and, year by
year, the struggle to obtain the bare
necessaries of life will become more
arduous. There are signs of the near
approach of such a state of allitirs all
about us. They more sagacious laboring
men see it. Their conventions have
given warning with regard to the dan
gers of the future. Whether the masses
will have sufficient sagacity to shield
themselves against the impending
troubles remains to be seen.
The triumph of the Radicals at the
coming Presidential election will be a
triumph of grasping monopolists and
corrupt political adventurers over the
rights and liberties of the masses.
Let every laboring man remember that.
And let the bondholders remember that
four years more of Radical extrava
gance and misrule will surely jeopard
all their cherished' securities. The
masses will not always consent to be
ground to the earth by taxation. A re
vulsion will certainly come. It may be
terrible and disastrous. The only
sure safety for all classes, is to
be sought in a speedy return to
constitutional government, and a
sweeping reduction of the public ex
penditures. That can be inaugurated
speedily,by the defeat of Grant and the
election of the - Democratic candidates,
and it can lie effected in no other way.
Showing the Cloven Foot Again!
The Radicals are rapidly throwing off
the mask which they have worn for
several years to deceive foreign born
citizens into voting with them. The
New Y,o l k Evening Poet boldly advo
cates the passage of a law, depriving all
such of the right to vote for a year after
they have been naturalized. The South
ern negroes, just released from the bar
barism of slavery, some of whom were
born in Africa, have never been natur
alized at all. Yet degraded and brutal
ized as they are, every Radical in the
country is ready to fight for their right
to vote. The Chicago platform pledges
General Grant to that policy. While
these ignorant creatures all vote, with
out any preparation to exercise the
right of citizenship, the Germans, the
Irish, and all white men who seek a
home in this land, are to be put on a
new probation after having served five
years in the country, been naturalized
and made citizens. Yet, strange to say,
there are foreign born citizens who vote
the Radical ticket. What stupid fools
they must be.
In Philadelphia, and elsewhere in the
State, Radical Election Officers refused
to permit naturalized citizens to votaat
the recent State election. The animus
of Know•Nothingism still rankles hi
the breasts of the leaders of the Repub
lican party, and foreign horn citizens
will find themselves enaaged in anoth
er struggle for their rights before long.
When that day comes, as come it as
suredly will, those naturalized citizens
who have allowed themselves to be
gulled into voting the Radical ticket
can not expect to meet with any sym
pathy.
Voteni, See Here!
The cost of the Democratic admluis•
tration from 1858 to 1862, footed up for
the four years a total of $201,165,807.
From 1862 to 1860, under the Mongrel
system of management, it amounted to
$3,175,994,538. From 1860 to the end of
the fiscal year, July 1, 1869, years of
" peace" the footings will be .$983,420,-
000, or four limes as great as from 1858
to 1862. We have in the past four years
been made to understand the kind of
" peace " Grant expects to continue,
when he says "let us have peace." It
is such as the South is now enjoying,
and the North paying for, at the rate of ,
three to four hundred millions of dol
lars per year. On the 3d of November
you can cancel the Mongrel contract to
ride upon your necks, or you can renew
it, as you please.

Of the itadical ptirty Aire not permit a

acts could be fully exposed to the gaze
of the people, their lives would scarce
ly be save. They feel an uncomfort
able twitching about their necks every,
time they , thin(c4! Wiiat would sore]'
happen if an impartial investigation
isontd be-made into their past conduct.
They:'dore net , permit the Democrats
to secure power enough in Congress
to call for the appointment of
Investigating. Committees.. Many of
them feel and know that they would
be in the Penitentiary, Instead of
their seats In Congress, if they had
their dues. They are armed with the
desperation of malefactors. Their only
hope of safety lies in a two-thirds ma
jority. They must keep that up at any
hazzard. To do so they will perjure
themselves as often as required, and
will turn out as many Democrats as
they may deem necessary for the pur
pose.
We may, therefore, expect them to
count out three of the Democrats elected
from this State. John Covode has al
ready taken the preliminary steps by
inducing a Radical Return Judge to
disregard his oath and violate the law.
He begins by making mil, of his tools
perjure himself. He expects a majority
of his Radical fellows in Congress to
commit the same crime. That it will
be done we have not theslightest doubt.
After the repeated exhibitions of as
utter disregard of the solemnity of an
oath of office, which has been given by
Radical Congressmen within the past
eight years, he must be amere fool who
would expect them to hesitate now.
They will stick at nothing.
They are bound by none of the ties
which are supposed to restrain men.
Like the unjust judge, they " neither
fear God nor regard man." With sou ls al
ready steeped in crime, they aro ready to
perpetrate any villainy which may con•
duce to their personal interests through
the success of their party. Never was
any Government delivered up to a set
of such unscrupulous and corrupt men.
They are a curse to the country, and
their unwise legislation has fallen like
a blight and a mildew upon the land.—
All their actions have been controlled
by partisanship and passion. They have
never risen to the height of pure patriot
ism in any of their acts. They are a
desperate and dangerous gang of mer
cenary adventurers, with only an oc
casional exception. 'l'o be honest among
them is to provoke the assaults of the
whole pack, and very few have had the
courage to attempt it. The country had
an example of what was the price of an
attempt to act rightly in the case of the
Republican Senators who refused to
perjure themselves on the Impeachment
trial.
The greatest danger which threatens
this country in the immediate future is
to be found in the utter and unqualified
baseness of Congress—the entire lack of
political morality which pervades that
branch of the Government which as
sumes to be supreme not only over the
Executive and Judicial branches, but
over the local governments of the
different States We have thus, instead
of the free and judiciously distributed
government of the Constitution, all
power centred in the hands of a set of
desperate and corrupt adventurers,
whom no oaths can bind, and to whom
all is fair which promises success to their
party. Our descent In the scale of po
litical degradation has been most rapid.
Whether a change will ever be peace
ably made by the people remains to be
seen. If they would preserve a vestige
of Constitutional government they must
rouse themselves, and that speedily.
General Glair on General Grant
Without lying and misrepresentation
Radical newspapers would be destitute
of political capital. From the com
mencement of the pending contest un
til now, they have dealt in the most out
rageous falsehoods with an effrontery
that is amazing. By bold and reckless
lying, they have deceived and duped the
masses of their party. No calumny
was too vile to be invented and persist
ly repeated in reference to the candi
dates of the Democratic party. Every
speech they made was misinterpreted,
and all their acts were misrepresented.
The latest efrort of the kind is the per
version of a remark made by General
Blair in reference to Grant. At a meet
ing which he addressed in St. Louis on
the 11th inst., General Blair said :
The point to which I desire to bring you
is this, that in this struggle we have every
thing at stake; that it is the final and last
struggle for the preservation of free consti
tutional government in America—that if we
fail in it the republic falls with us. It be
comes the mere appendage of the military
chieftain who is elevated to power in the
11111110 of the Presidency. Put he never will
leave the Presidential 9nan14071 as long as he
lives. I have nothing to say against him
personally; I have no intention of dero
gating train his great merits as a sol
dier, and I have no desire to tar
nish any of the laurels which he won
in the services that he gave to the
country during the lute war, But I have
just as little design of surrendering abso
lute power into the hands of any man, no
matter bow illustrious he may have made
his name in this great war. He came back
conqueror, and has by treating those
States, in violation of the constitution, 1119
mere provinces, shown his intention to
treat the whole people of this country as
mere dependencies—appearances indicate,
if tee may judge from the treatment of the
Southern States by the faction he represents,
to make the .Presidency a mere stepping
stone to absolute power. That is my judg
ment of his character and his design, and
we can argue well what the intention of
this party is fri m what this party has al
ready done.
Any candid Republican who reads
the above paragraph will have no diffi
culty in arriving at the real meaning of
the speaker. General Blair's idea was
that If General Grant gets Into the
White House, that lie will consent to
assume the powers of dictator, and
to remain there during his natural
life. That there is danger of
such a thing we do believe. The
Radicals will not care to be troubled
with expensive elections hereafter, and
will make an eftbrt to dispense with
them. That is one of the designs of the
men who hope to make Grant their
tool. The only way to kill their des
perate scheme effectually, Is to defeat
their tool.
Naturalization
There are no doubt some foreigners
in this county entitled to be naturalized
who have not yet got out their papers.
To all such we would say, attend to this
Important matter, without fall, In time
to vote at the Presidential election. The
Court will set for that purpose on Mon
day, November 2d. The qualifications
necessary to entitle a foreign-born resi
dent to a certificate of naturalization,
are :
1. In the case of persona arriving in the
country of 030 age of 18 years and upwards,
Jive years' residence In the United States ,
one years' residence in tide State, proven by
two witnesses, in open Court, declaration of
intention, commonly called the first papers,
having been tiled two years previously.
2. Ilium ouse of persons arriving in the
country tinder the age of 18 years, Jive years'
residence, one year in the State, proven by
two witnesses, without tiling of first papers.
3. Foreign-born persons who have been
engaged In the military service of the Uni
ted States, for which they hold honorable
discharges, on proof of the same, and one
years' residence in the country, proven by
two witnesses in open Conti, are entitled to
a certificate of naturalization. It is a mis
take to suppose that the production of an
honorable discharge before the election
board will entitle this latter class to vete.
They must have a certificate from the Court.
GEx. REYNOLDS has ordered an elec•
tion in two of the counties of Texas to
fill vacancies in the Reconstruction
Convention. The election Is to last
three days to give the negroes a chance
to vote:at as many polls as they can
reach. That Is the system adopted by
the party which boasts of Its morality.

and daring Beadier with unsurpassed
heroism and bravery. He wound 'up
his brilliant military career by'rnbrch-
Ing, as leader of one of the best divis
ions of the army, with Sherman from.
Atlanta to • the sea. Yet, he •H•
refused the right to vote iri the .
State which be saved from rebel
lion. And by whom ? By a, set' of,
miserable scalawags, who cried good
God, good Devil, when the rebellion
broke out—by a set of mercenary
political scoundrels who stood ready to
throw up their caps and cheer for Jeff.
Davis, if he had succeeded—by these
I dirty tools of Radicalism, who neither
I regard law nor their oaths of office.
In Missouri, as elsewhere in the
South, the privilege of voting depends
upon the will of a set of low scoundrels
who:are selected on account of their wil •
lingness to perjure themselves as often
as it may be deemed necessary. The
question is not, is a man entitled to vote,
but, how will he vote? The most cruel
and bloody rebel finds no difficulty in
registering, if he will vote the Radical
ticket, while many of the best and
bravest Union men are denied the right
• of suffrage because they are not willing
to endorse all the infamous acts of a
usurping and revolutionary Congres
sional oligarchy. In Arkansas, and
other States, no Union soldier can vote
unless he will take an oath to sustain
negro equality forever. It is to maintain
such a system that the Radicals desire
to Install a military despot In the Presi
dential chair. They hope to find such
a creature in General Grant, and we are
not without serious apprehensions that
he will be a ready tool to carry out their
evil designs, if elected. What a mock
ery upon republican institutions do we
furnish to the world, when our elections
are conducted as they are under Radi
cal auspices. We seem to be fast giving
the lie to all the boasts we once made.
Negro Equality to be Made Universal if
grant is Elected
That the Radicals will proceed to pass
an act of Congress giving negroes in all
the States the right to vote, to sit on
juries, and toholdoftlee, if Grant should
be elected, we have not the slightest
doubt. The men who control the pub
lic sentiment of the Republican party
openly avow that the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, re
cently declared to be adopted, guaran
tees the perfect political equality of all
men. They hold that no State has the
power to refuse negroes any civil right
possessed by white men, that they are
precluded from making any such dis
tinction by this fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
and that Congress has full power to de
clare what shall be the status of the
negro in Pennsylvania and elsewhere,
and the right to enforce such a law by
all the power of the General Govern
ment.
That the attempt to break down every
political disability imposed upon ne
groes by our State laws will be made, if
Grant is elected, we have not the slight
est doubt. The Radicals of Maryland
have the promise of the leading men of
their party in Congress, that that State
shall be speedily reconstructed on the
basis of negro suffrage. But the law is
not to apply to Maryland alone. It is
to be general in its application, and we
of Pennsylvania will be included.
At a Radical mass meeting, held in
Baltimore on Tuesday night, Hon.:Hen
ry M. Goldsborough, a former Radical
member of Congress, made a speech, in
which he used the following notable
words:
BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OP
OR.A.NrS A.DNIINISTRATION THE
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE WILL BE
EXTENDED TO EVERY COLORED
MAN IN TILE NORTHERN STATES
AS WELL AS IN THE SOUTH, AND
THEN PEOPLE WILL ONLY EX
PRESS THEIR WONDER THAT IT
WAS NOT DONE BEFORE.
That the Radical Congress will make
the attempt, if Grant is elected, we con
sider absolutely certain. The Radicals
will claim that the people have en
dorsed the policy by the adoption of the
fourteenth amendment and the election
of Grant. They are bold and reckless.
They will take no step backward, but
will advance with resolute stride in the
future, as they have done in the past.
The people of Pennsylvania must de
cide on the 31 of November whether
they will give the Radicals encourage
ment to go on with their revolution
ary projects. They can stop the tide of
fanaticism, if they chose. - Wilt they do
so? We await their verdict.
Outrages on Foreigners
In Philadelphia and elsewhere in this
State, citizens who had been natural
ized many years ago were not only re
fused a vote, but their papers were
taken from them by Radical election
officers. The bitterest animosity was
exhibited against all men of foreign
birth, and the infernal spirit of Know.
Nothingism blazed anew. Numbers of
these Radical officials have been arrest
ed, but John W. Geary stands pledged
to pardon every one of them, if they
should be convicted. Such being the
case, criminal suits against these viola•
tore of the law can not be conducted
with any hope of success, and the Dem
ocratic Committee are having them
sued for damages in the civil courts. It
is to be hoped they will be made to
smart for their rascality. But for
Geary's pledge to pardon all such of
fenders, numbers of them would be
speedily consigned to a felon's coll.
They perjured themselves with the
most shameful recklessness, and were
encouraged to do so by the leading men
of the Radical party. They were told,
In plain terms, that Gerry would give
them previous pardons, in case they
were prosecuted, and thus the fear of
punishment was removed. What must
Christian men think of a party which
thus openly encourages crime? What a
base creature Geary must be, who pro.
claims before hand his readiness to par
don all who may be detected in the
commission of perjury and other crimes,
for the purpose of carrying an election,
He has disgraced the Gubernatorial
Chair, and deserves to be impeached
and deposed,
The War of Races
The Radical policy has borne Its
legitimate fruits everywhere. In Louis
iana a war of races has begun. The riots
excited by the negroes still continue,
and the greatest alarm prevails. The
bastard State Government Is utterly in
efficient, and the negro pollee'of 'New
Orleans are worse than useless. Will
the people of Pennsylvania vote for the
continuance of such a system? Peace
and order can never exist under such
rule. It Is folly to expect it. It must
inevitably lead to a general war between
the two races.
A WRITER says :—" There was once
one government on earth that did not
Impoverish its subjects under pretense
of the cost of protecting them from
one another, and from the world, and
now that is gone." That government
was that of the United Htates as admin
istered by the Democratic party. Itwas
not until the Radical party got control
fit, that the historian could write—
"now that is gone."

Democrats only thirty-rdne,—a major
ity of twenty-two per cent. This is a
sample o/ i the.way theßadicals manage
tohold power in 'Congress and the State
Legislatures.
- The time was in this country when
any party which attempted such an
Qutrage would have been at once hurled
from.power by an indignant people.
Men were honest in those days, and es
teemed country above party. They were
jealous of their liberties, and checked
all encroachments of arbitrary power
,promptly. The saddest sign of the pre
sent times is the indifference of the
masses to the gradual encroachments
upon popular rights, which the Radi
cals are constantly making. The spirit
of the fathers of the Republic seems to
have died out, and a degenerate race is
ready to sanction abuses which ought to
rouse any people fit to be free to fierce
opposition.
Any gerrymandering system like that
employed by the Radicals of this State,
ought to be voted down at once. It is
an outrage upon the most sacred rights
of the people. It disfranchises multi
tudes, and gives undue power to a party
which is certain to be abused. Much
of the disgraceful corruption of late
legislation in this State may be traced
directly to this source. Being made se
cure in their control of the Legislature,
the members do not fear to resort to the
most disgraceful means for making mo
ney. ']hey sell their votes to any cor
poration which will pay for them. Even
the office of United States Senator is
openly put up at auction and knocked
down to the highest bidder. The sala
ries of the members have been greatly
increased, and employees about the two
Houses are now equal in numbers to the
members. Men aro paid large salaries
as clerks, messengers, &c., who not only
do no work, but who are not even pre
sent at the State Capital. Radical mem
bers have had their sons, who were go
ing to school, appointed to positions
about the House, and have drawn their
salaries, while the youths pursued their
studies at some college. By such means
it has cope to pass that the expenses of
ruuniug our State Legislature is now
more than double what it was when the
Democratic party was in power.
How long the People of Pennsylvania
will submit to such barefaced robbery
remains to be seen. They may be sure
that there will be no reform while the
Radicals have a majority in the two
branches. They very naturally claim
that the people sanction their rascalities
by re-electing them from time to time.
They fear nothing except defeat, and
will continue their extravagance and
corruption until the voters apply the
only remedy.
The Fourth Ward Fraud
The Republican leaders chuckle over
the outrageous fraud in the Fourth
Ward, and pat on the head the boys
who attended to the details of the plan
which they had intrusted to them for
execution, and compliment them as
cunning and successful managers.
The Express confessing the fraud, has
no word of reprobation for it, nor com
ment to make upon it ; except that it
essays aclumsy joke, in saying that the
Democracy are as much responsible fur
the fraud as the Republicans, because
the man who was bought to distribute
the tickets was a Democrat ; and it
might as well have said, because the
men who were deceived into voting the
tickets were Democrats.
! Mr. Dickey, notwithstanding, the
fraud occurred at his own poll, at which
on election days he is always present,
and standing by the window, acts as
challenger and general leader of his
party ; notwithstanding that because of
his well known activity at his poll, he
is generally credited with being the con
; cotter of this plot, and is universally be
lieved to have at least had a full knowl
edge of its planning and execution; not
withstanding this damning imputation
which attaches to his reputation as an
! honest man and as a gentleman, Mr.
i Oliver J. Dickey, wno is now the rep
resentative in Congress, not only of the
Republicans, but of all the people of
this county, has no word to say in de
testation of this vile fraud, no word to
say to free himself from its stain ; he
does not deny his knowledge of it nor
do aught to relieve himself from its
odium. We are therefore justified in
holding Mr. Dickey responsible for this
fraud as the Republican leader of the
Fourth Ward. We are sorry to be
obliged to do this, since we would not
wish to impute such vileness to any one
whom we have any respect for. It is
moreover a bad augury for his Congres
sional career; for is it not reasonable to
conclude that a man who has the dis
position to applaud or the weakness to
wink at, such a despicable piece of dis
honesty as this Fourth Ward fraud, has
not so high a standard of virtue as will
enable him to escape unscathed the se
ductive entanglements of Congressional
life? We regret that Mr. Dickey
chooses to assuma this load of shame,
and the day will come when he will re
gret It too; for It will cling to him as
the shirt of Nessus and plague him
evermore.
But now let the Democratic organiza
tion of the Fourth Ward go to work
and uncover to the light of day this
whole transaction. They have suffici
ent material to go to work upon. Let
them make a complaint against certain
parties for a conspiracy to defraud the
voters of the Fourth Ward out of their
suffrage, and there will be no lack of
testimony to support the charge. Let
the vile fraud be exposed and its con
cocters be brought to justice.
THE Louisiana Legislature has ad
journed einc dic. Its last act was the
ejection of an intelligent and legally
elected white man, and the giving his
seat to an ignorant plantation negro.
The darkies copy after Congress. They
turn out those who are not of their com
plexion, regardless of the majorities by
which they were elected. If a negro
claims a white man's seat In the Louis
iana Legislature he gets it. If a Radi
cal claims a Democrat's seat in Con
gress he gets it.
IN Pittsburg the 4tadical manufac
turers marked the tickets of their work
men, and then marched them to the
polls in gangs, with overseers to watch
how they voted. This is the kind of
liberty which bloated Radical capital
ists give to laboring men in Pennsyl
vania. Yet a howl is raised in every
Republican newspaper, if a Southern
planter undertakes to Influence the votes
of his negroes In any way. Coercion for
poor white men, and the largest liberty
for negroes is tile motto of the Grant
party.
DOES anybody want to buy carpet
bag bonds? A large quantity are for
sale, emitted by the fellows who write
themselves Governor respectively of
South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida,
and can be had cheap. The object of
these bonds is to destroy that material
prosperity on which alone their re
demption depends, Who wants to buy?
Don't bet on Grant, gentlemen. There
is a better way to test your confidence
in the triumph of the principles he.rep
resents. Buy bogus bonds.
Liana returns of the West Virginia

The, Radleala Admit they Can Be Beaten
The Radicals are not confident of
electing Grant. They see how close the
vote was in the great Htates of Penn
syliania, Indiana and Ohio, and know
ing the amount of money they expend
ed, and the extent of the frauds they
committed they fear defeat. We notice
signs of trepidation in all their news
papers. They areappealing In the most
excited terms to the mass of their fol
lowers, and are printing the most stir
ring calls to induce them to poll a full
vote. The Cincinnati lia:cfte is badly
frightened, and lets its fear he seen. It
says:
"Taking the October elections as the cri
terion, less than 30,000 votes would be requir
ed to change these three great Ntates ; not
more than 11,000 to change Pennsylvania
and Indiana and put the Presidential elec.
lion in doubt. We cannot afford to lose one
of them, and besides, we need the moral ef
fect of a united North for the pacification
of the country. They who talk of the victory
being won, and of the, Democratic party as
being routed and panic stricken, are simply
indulging in the puerile policy of trying to
make a vietory out of an indecisive contest
bydhe force of crowing. The preliminary
tiring has only developed the positions of
the two armies; th, great battle has yet to
be fought."
We believe, as firmly as man can be

have it in their power,to elect Seymour
and Blair. We are convinced that a full
poll of our vote in Pennsylvania will
give us the victory.

throughout Pennsylvania they have re
solved to make a vigorous and deter

taking possession of the minds of the

INcREOFIE OF THE PUBLIC DEBT
Nntional Bankruptcy Inevitable Under
Radical Rule.
A Plain and Unvarnished Statement.
TlM,Nationea inert/igniter of the sth pub
lishee a table—a transcript from the books
of the Treasury—showing that the public
debt Is rapidly Increasing. It vouches for
its authenticity and accuracy. It deals In
no conjectures or estimate, but only record
ed facts. From this table it appears that
the debt on the 31st of August last was
greater, by over oue hundred and sixty
eight millions, , •
lesono,esa,
then on the first of April, IStu, a few days
before the close of the war, the subsequent
rates of increase exceeding four millions of
dollars a month; or nearly fifty million
dollars a year. But there are results still
more alarming. The debt is greater by
over thirty-five millions of dollars than it
was on the Ist of May last,
,0135,48 ti
On this basis the yearly rate ”r increase of
the debt would be over one hundred and
five millions of dollars.
105,256.455.
If to this annual rate of increase we add
interestat the rate of six per cent. a year,
compounded annually for twenty years,
the debt, instead of being paid would large
ly exceed live thousand millions of dollars.
ow, let us look at the monthly increase
of the debt for the last four mouths. This
increase was at the rate largely exceeding
eight millions of dollars a month, )$ ,771,-
371) but the increase in the mouth of August
last was over twelve millions of dollars,
(312,079,532.) being a rate of increase largely
exceeeding oue hundred and forty-four
millions a year.
8144,935,954
It must be remembered, also, that this
last increase of debt is during the great
quarter when the average rate of revenue
from imports exceeds abont one-third the
rata for the fiscal year. Suppose the debt
to increase at the rate of one huiulred and
forty five millions of dollars, adding to this
interest compounded at the rate of air per
cent. per annum, and the debt would be
doubled in about fourteen years ; tong before
which we would have passel into bankruptcy.
Indeed, from the intolerable burden of
taxation, arising from such an annual in
crease of the debt, we should reach national
bankruptcy in the Congressional elections
of 1870. And yet it is the Radical party
which accuses its opponents of repudiation,
whilst its own course of enormous war ex
penditures in time of peace, makes national
bankruptcy inevitable. Indeed it is only
a vast decrease of ta_ration and expendi
tures which can save us front the dis
aster. But this reduction can never come
front the Radical party, whieh insists on the
continuance of a large standing army to
subject the whites of the South, by force,
to negro govern menus and negro supremacy.
We have seen the rapid increase of the
public debt, not only since the peace, but
within the last four months. But this table
exhibits n still more alarming fact. It is,
that whilst the debt bearing Interest in cur
rency had decreased on the 31st of August
last s6•CJ,lbt6,7tis from the :Slat of March,
1.663, the debt bearing interest in coin had
nearly doubled, having inrr•eaoed on the 31st
of August lest nearly one thousand Ind
llous of dollars.

since the 31st of March, 1803. Thus, on the
30th April, 1805, the annual interest payable
in coin was only v 13,078,412, whilst on the
31st August last this annual coin interest
had reached
8123,573,6'21.
the illerellSe of annual coin interest being
nearly sixty millions of dollars,
859,505,209;
or converting this sum into currency of that
(late,
887.009,005.
Now, the total annual Interest in coin and
currency, as shown by the table, \v as
8102,936,531,
on the 31st of March, 1865, and
on the ltlst or August last, showing nil in
crease in the annual interest, payable in
coin and currency, on the :list of August
last, of . .
But this, as shown . by the table, is nut the
only real increase. Thus we have seen that
whilst ou the 3011.1 of April, 1965, the annual
currency interest was $5,17,036, It had fal
len on the 31st of August last to $4,371,900,
whilst the annual colu Interest had increas
ed nearly sixty inlllions.of dollars.
The account would then stand thu.4

reucy $03,405,151

Actual currency interest 4,371,0:0
Currency int. 31st Aug., IS6S
Currency Int. after the close of
the war, 30th April, 1%2
Increased int. illst Aug.,
Thus we see that since the chew of the
war (30th April, d 003) the afiiiind interest of
the public debt has increased upwards of
forty sir millions of dollars. This Increased
annual interest would represent a principal
sum exceeding seven hundred and fifty
millions of dollars.
We repeat, then, it is clear that the Radi
cal policy renders national bankruptcy
That policy regards the rebellion
as unsubdued, the States as conquered prov
inces, still ready for war, and the whites to
be kept in subjection by negro governments
sustained by standing armies costing more
every year than those of France or Eng,
land, and with much heavier taxation..
The Democratic party proposes a ditlerent
policy. It regards secession and slavery as
forever settled by the war, and by the sub
sequent action of the Southern States in
constitutional convention assembled. It
would repeal the Freedmen's Bureau, dis
band the standing army, reduce It to n
peace establishment, and leave the Southern
States to govern themselves in subordina
tion to the Federal Constitution. It is clear,
then, that the expenditures can only be re
duced by n change of men and measures,
and that change can only come from the
overthrow of the Radical party and policy.
For three years and a half not a Confeder
ate soldier has been In the field nor an arm
raised against the Federal Government,
yet the Radical party during all this period
1111-4 given us war measures end war expen
ditures, they are rapidly increasing the
public debt, and if continued In power
must choose between augmented taxation
or national bankruptcy. The people rosy
still save the country by change of rnlers
and policy, but after the election It will be
too late.
l. That this Government has given away
to corporations half as much of the public
domain, since tt it, as was given away dur
ing the previous seventy-live years, and
that the amount thus bestowed is equal to
$200,000,000.
2. That the amount taken front the U. S.
Treasury by the present Congress—in the
taxes of which certain manufacturers are
relieved in their own iutereet—is equal to
~q 65,000.000 direct, and $15,000,000 in the re
duced revenue from foreign imports.
3. That the controlling Pennsylvania and
New England manufacturers, us the price
of their allegiance to liadicalLem, demanded
either that there should be a new tariff,
such as was reported, lidding from ten to
fifty per cent, to the duties on imports, or,
in the event of this failing, that taxes should
be thrown front all manufactures except
gas, tobacco and whiskey, and the general
tax on trade and business. The loss of $:80,-
000,000 to the Government is just so much
in the pockets of shoes who demanded the
reduction. The effect has boon literally to
make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
1. That in three years the secret income
put Into the Treasury has been over $2,000,-
000 a month for three years, or $28,000,000 a
year inc three years, which the Wallses and
Atkinsona take very good care to conceal
from the people in the way of expenditure.
This is beyond all taxes paid by the people.
5. The Government is to-day living be
yond its income, and must so live as long
us tiadicalism reigns in the land.
t. The election of Gen. Gram means the
perpetuation of Radical power. We say this
with a knowledge of the man of whom we
speak.
Gen. Grant vita zerquietiee in the Tenure
of Office Bill,—in z.444r0 aulirage, In one
kind of f u Err age for Xitiites auGh and at,-
other for States South; and ea this Is un
lust, oppressive and detestabLe, Were can
be no peace In such a policy an Egli. 33e
sides, it means enforced negro suffrage by

OCII. CHIEFTAIN ON THE MARCH
Governor Seymour's Address at Ent.fill° to Twenty Thousand Republi•

thoics.co, October 22. The gathering
hero this evening, though got up on very
short notice, wins the largest that has been
held In this city since the opening of the
campaign. Thu meeting was held In the
Skating Rink, which holds 7 or 8,000 peo
ple, and such n crush was never known in
this place. Tbs audience swayed back and
forth in a dense maks that could not be
pressed closer. Shortly before the appear
ance of the speakers the crush near the
stand became so violent that It threatened
the safety of boys and weak pon.ons among
it. Two persons were drawn to the plat
form who had fainted '
and largii numbest'
of boys were lifted out of the crowd where
they were in danger of suffocating, and lit.
aridly crawled half way across the room on
the heads and shoulders of the audience.—
As they tumbled from head to bend the
crowd shouted and cheered and called for
the speakers. As many as twenty boys
were thus passed to the platform and es
caped by the side. A splendid primps:doe
with banners, illuminations,lands, CllllOOO
and fireworks were marched to the TM
House, and escorted the speakers to the
Rink. The building was brilliantly illu
minated. 'The audience, by the time of the
appearance 01 the speakers, had beeeme
somewhat insentient as the flute approach
ed for which the meeting was called. The
reception of Governor Seymour was one oi
the most splendid manifestations that 1,110
be conceived. The immense auditorium
was wild with the waving ot hats, and re
sounded with 1111111111100 US SIMMS of ap
applause. There were at least tweniv
thousand people in and around the bui
lug.

there is a fear Iti the mitelsof the Republican
leaders—but It is not this absurd fear—it is
the dread that the public. mind, having
been turned to Its finitude! and political

sweep them from political power. There

fore they have changed their front in this

To-night I must- confine myself to a fits
points; elsewhere I shall speak or oilier
wrongs and errors. When this wnr ondekl,
nearly four years ago, It lett the Southern
States disorganized and impoverished. Tioe
duty of restoring melee and prosperity to
that Section, and putting It into condi
tion where it could add to the national
prosperity and aid to bear its burdens,
fell upon the Republican party. The
difficulties of the tank were inereased
by the hurt that its population was
' made up of two distinct races, ono of whleli
had been held in slavery, and wail 1141 W sud
denly called upon, untutored ae they were,
to act a new part in our social and pelitieal
system. Ido not whit to underrate theilif-
Ili:Miles with which they had to contend ;
but the magnitude of these dillleulttes de
manded that they should enter upon the
task in a wise, greet, and thoughtful wily.
Armies alone cannot bring back prosperity
or a duo sense of the vnlue of order to a
community. 'They earl only restrain vio
lence. The two great objects In be kept in
view were to give ell damsel( that prosperi

which gives them homes, and in the end a

first step towards restoring order and pro
ducing harmony between the races was 111
always to minister in the prosperity el
that section, which prosperity would he
shared alike by the white man mid
the negro. The industry of the South
should be made profitable. Unless the em
ployer made a profit upon his cotton crop
he could not pay the laborer. Failing to de
this the disaster brought not only poverty
but eanfunion and discontent, True Metes

men in power, (Applause.) I might go on
and miaow how, In addition to this wrong,
they were trampled Upon by military des
potism; how they were placed under the
unrestrained power of vagrant men, who
