No canal boat will be complete tliut does not bear the touching picture of the pious James wrestling with his sable witness in that little back room in the New Orleans Custom House. Chairman Rankin, please take notice. WE invito careful attention to the |eech of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks to be found on our fourth page. Mr. Hendricks is always perspicuous and able, and this is a terrible arraignment of the Republican presidential candi date for his share in the great fraud which made a man Chief Magistrate of this nation who hud been rejected by the sovereign people ut the jwdls. It is a frightful indictment aud ouc which Garfield, artful as he is, will find it difficult to meet. GEN. GARFIELD'S neighbors aud constituents four years ago presented a fearful indictment of venality and crime against him, and claimed that he hail committed acts that would subject him to punishment and dis ability to bold office. They bail iu view the De Golyer and Credit Mobi -1 itr brilies, and the penalty the law imposes for the crimes u|on which he was adjudged guilty by his colleagues aud constituents, which is a fine of SIO,OHO, two years' imprisonment and disfranchisement from public trust. Circumstances may have changed since then, but the law and the facts are still the same. " MOST of the laboring men ROLE through their eyes," says John Cessna, w ho, us chairman of the Republican •State committee, is now managing the Garfield campaign in Pennsylvania. Aril to meet his idea of the intelli gence of the tailoring men directs his County committee lieutenants to pa rade pictures before them representing a canal boat, nud Garfield with his pants rolled up aljove his hoots, as a mule driver, to catch the attention of these men whom he insultingly says vote only " through their eyes." Nev er before was such a base insult sent out by the chairman of a State com mittee. The miserable mountebank who would thus libel the laboring class will fiud before the contest closes that there is more intelligence among them than he apprehends. Ron INQKRSOLL, who has a double mission on hand, has been quite prom inent in the Vermont and Maine elec tions. His scoffs at the Christian re ligion, and his sneers at the reliance upon a Divine Providence which that religion inculcates, has not deterred the New England puritans from mak ing him their chief orator in support of a renegade preacher for the Presi dential office. In this he is more con sistent than the puritans. If he can prevail upon a Christian people to receive a worse devil than himself it is perfectly natural for him to do so. If he can impose upon them a man covered by fraud, who receives bribes and then swears he didn't, in face of his own record to the contrary —a roan who takes an oath to perform a cer tain duty, and then refuses to perform that duty and violates that oath, be cause it would uncover frauds perpe trated by himself and colleagues, as in the electoral commission, Bob would fail in his double missioo to debauch the moral sense of the community not to press that man for the Executive chair of the country. The eloquent infidel having made his campaign of debauchery in New England now pro poses to enlarge his mission, and ad vertises for a thousand men who will pay tI.OOO to prosecute the Republi can campaign. With this immense fund he will be armed to extend his operations throughout the country. But it will not avail. God and a vir tuous Democracy, with a brave and noble warrior statesman to represent them, stand in the way. BELI.KFONTK, I'A., THURSDAY, SKITEMBER Hi, IBW>. Young Men and General Han cock. The Hon. John W. Fornoy recent ly delivered a thoughtful and eloquent appeal to the young voters of the country to dignify themselves and as sure their political future by support ing the candidates of the Democratic party in the current presidential con test. There are obvious reasons why the young men of the United States should give their political adhesion to the party of constitutional liberty. The young progressive voter cannot possibly find anything alluring in the attitude or principles of the Republi can party. It represents issues that have 110 place in the history of the present. It stands in the way of pro gress, a monument of the past, and looking backward instead of forward, it offers nothing for the future. It is a sectional party and aims to control the thought of the one-half of the country by ostracizing and ignoring the other. It seeks by the revival of the animosities of half a generation past to array the people of a com mon country in deadly hostility to each other. Instead of accepting re sults that are as firmly rooted as the riven hills, it yet invokes the imaginary presence of hostile armies and assails the perpetuity of a gov ernment which is the priceless heri tage of this people and ever will be. Instead of seeking by every means to cultivate friendly intercourse with the States lately in rebellion, and thereby encouraging immigration and openiug up to the young, active and enterpris ing men of the country, who only await the opportunity to throw the resistless force of their will and energy into the rich and fertile fields of the rioutb, the Repub lican party denounce the people of that section as traitors and dis courage interchange of opinious nud trade. Instead of offering induce j ments to young men to train tltcra , selves in the school of state craft as i the future directors of the affairs of | the nation, the Republican party re ! pudiates the claim of the young voter ami showers its honors upon the chosen | instruments of its policy. It refuses to infuse the rich, red blood of youth into its councils, preferring rather that the civil service should he un | dcr the control of men steeped iu crime and ready for the perpetration |of any iniquity that the behests of jmrty may demand. Wherever they ' have unlimited power the old party dependents are the ones upon whom the mantle of choice falls, and the young men who contribute to party success are chagrined and insulted by being put to one side to make room for one of the many who has long rioted upon the spoils of place. It holds up for the inspection of all men a record that embraces such venality, ! corruption and general political de bauchery and profligacy as finds no counterpart save iu the history of the dissolute, depraved and vicious rule which marked the latter days of the Ryzautine Empire. The banner borne by the young men in the race of life bears the strange device, "Ex celsior," and surely that banner can never rest under the deadly Upas tree of Republican corruption. On the other hand the Democratic party and its chivalric candidate oiler every in ducement in its claims for the allegi ance of young voters. It is essentially the party of progress, and and it has always been indebtod for much of its success to the active efforts of young men, and it has never failed in making fitting recompense to its young champions. It recognises in the youth of the laud those who have the destinies of this nation most at heart, and as they prove them selves capable of great trusts their hands and brains are enlisted when ever they avail the most. In Gaaarml Hancock the young voter finds his ideal candidate. Endowed with the chivalry of a Kidney .and the courage of a Raleigh, he is in every way the cmhodimeut of all that is glorious in a leader. Emulous of greatjJeeds, the young voter finds in the living hero of Gettysburg one to look up to as the highest type of the young man who carves his way from the modest obscur ity of the county lawyer's son to the head and front of the world's heroes. Here they find a candidate who has lived his whole life under the fierce light that beats on public station, and yet it can be said of him as of Chev alier Ravard, "tan* peur el nan* re proche." They will uot be called on the thresholds of their political lives to excuse crime and become the ajKilogists for the most sickening cor ruption that has ever shrouded the name and fame of a candidate for the highest honors within the gift of a free people. Further, the success of the Democratic party iu this cam paign will mark a new career for this country, aud the future will lie the heritage of the whole people and not of a set of favored ]>olitieians. the young voters cherish this opportu nity to take their proper place iu the direction of affairs under the spotless leadership of Winfield Scott Han cock. IF it be j>o*sible in a Presidential campaign for honest Republicans to use their judgment, and rise almve the domain of prejudice and passion, the record of the present Republican can didate for President, as presented by his colleagues in Cougrests, and reiter ated by the leading Republican jour nals should startle them in view of the possibility of elevating one so smirched to the Presidential chair. Prejudice might excuse honest men beetling charges made by Democrats against the integrity of the Republi can candidate, however sustained by Ihcorilroverttble facts, hut how can they ignore the fact that his oath was squarely contradicted by the Credit Mobilier Report of his own partisan friends over the signatures of Luke Poland, George W. McCrary and N. P. Ranks. More still, how can they ignore the fact that by his own testi mony before another committee he is convicted of a crime to which the law affixes a penalty of two years im prisonment, 110,000 fine, and jierpct ual disqualification from holding office. These arc no Democratic campaign charges, but the record evidence of Congress, and is commended to the candid judgment of honest Republi cans. JOHN KHEKMAN when iu New Or leans in 1876 perpetrating the Presi dential fraud, had his Eliza Pinks ton and . fame. A. Garfield, engaged in the same work, both from Ohio, had his Amy Mitchell. These women made illustrious by their companion ship with two of the leading thieves of the Presidency would be appropri ate pictures to adorn Cessna's Canal Boat to catch the attention of the la boring citicens whom he alleges "vote through their eyes." W E very sincerely condole with our Republican friends. The terrible dis aster which overcame them ou Monday in the Pine Tree State is a sad ending to fond hopes of continued and en larged powers. The Plumed Knight, with all his magnetic power, could not pull through an endorsement of the De Golyer candidate for President. OUR Republican friends must get up their best metal. There is danger that the "Solid North" are going to meet the "Solid South," for Hancock. Cessna is the only strategist who can avert it by his appeals to the voting Oft* of the laboring men. Bring out the canal boat and picture by all means. CMMA 'a canal boat and picture of Garfield with )>is pants rolled up did not reach Maine in time for the voting on Monday. Henoe the Democratic victory and the depression of the De Oolyerites to-day.

The returns come in slowly this morning and do not change the outlook as presented last night. Two hundred and forty-five towns show a net Hepublicsn loss of about M 0 on last year s vote. The whole number of towns and plantations is over 000, but those heard from cover about two-thirds of the vote of the State. RI.AISTEL/FT ELECTION NOT DOI'UTED. "At present i'laisted's election is not doubled, and Jiis majority is variously estimated at from 1,000 to 2,500. Mr. Blaine concedes him a small plurality." Another special from Augusta says Plaisted's majority will be a little over 1,000. In the First district Heed's plu rality is now put at 35. 1 he vote is the largest ever caat. j _ Ihe prohibitionists, under ad vice from Nye. their candidate, did not generally vote for him, but directly for I'laisted, as the surest means of defeating I>avi. For Congress, Frye is the only Republi can whose election is contested by the I*usionisti. Lindsey has a majority be yond doubt.' Heed's election is claimed by the He publicans but his majority is placed as low as 117, and the Fusionists claim that returns are being doctored. Ladd and Murcb, Fusion sitting members, ; have majorities to spare. | THE CONST IT t'TION AL AMENDMENTS. It looks at though both of the con stitut ionsl amendments would have large majorities, and' particularly the one making a plurality elect a gover j no', which adopted will be operative at ! at this election. AH a matter of justice to Chairman | Cessna, remarks the Philadelphia Time*, we would stale that the follow ing general order fur the celebration of the Maine election, issued inoonsider t#l>- aome weeks ago. is revoked i have a reasonable *xpe< taliou that our friends will triumph at the 1 election in Maine, which is to be held on Monday. .September IS, 1&80. Un doubtedly we will be able to know the result in all parts of the State by Tues day afternoon, and if it should be favor able to us it would be well to have all our clubs and organizations turn out on I uesday night, with music, banners and torches, and celebrate the victory in a proper way. In remote districts of the State this might be done on Wednes day night if the news is not received in time to have the celebration earlier. . IN Harper '* Weekly of March 15, 1873, will lie found a double-paged cartoon, iu which Nasi hue Garfield aud other Credit Mobilier "statesmen" arranged under a placard reading as follows: "Itisgrsced in the eye of the publio for owning Credit Mobilier stock, which was in fact and intent a fraud upon the Government. Also for deceit and eva sion." It would not lie a bad idea for Har per to republish some of Nast's car toons on that subject. LET the Democrat* in the various •lection districts send their representa tive and best men as delegates to the county convention next Tuesday. "Dißtoo," I direct, is what Maine •aid on Monday. New York Democratic. Vrts Me* Teffc In. On a fair and (tall vote New York is a Democratic Bute. This was demon atrated in 1876, whu Tilden. in a con test that was admitted on all aide* to have been conducted with rare honesty, and on a vote that waa unprecedented!/ large, beet Hayes by a majority of about 33,000. The new oensut showy that this majority ought to be increased at the coming election. The advanoe in population since 1876 has mainly been in those porti#ns of the State which for yean post, on a teat of strength be tween parties, have invariably gone Democratic. Therefore, with harmony in the Itanoeratio councils, and a res sonable amount of forbearance, common sense and hard work, New York can give Hancock and English a majority of 40,000 in November. Ir elected I shall, with tfc# Divine favor, labor with what ability I pomess to dleobarge my duties with fidelity, ac cording to my oonviotioos, and shall take oaro to protect and defend the Union, and see that the laws be faith fully and equally executed in ail parts of. the oountry alike. I will assume the responsibility, fully sensible of the fact that to administer rightly tht functions of government is to discharge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American dUron.— Gen, Hcrnetck t Letter Acceptance, I RKMN: pfr Annum, in Advanw.

POTTEE TowvKßir AROCSED.—Last Saturday afternoon wan a notable occasion in the record* of tho I democracy of Potter township, the f>leasant town of Tussey ville being the scene of one of the moat enthusiastic political gatherings known in tho history of that place. At an early hour the surging masses assembled from tho vicinity, and viewed with pleasure the previous arrangements which had been made to render tho occasion successful. Among these was a grand stand erected I for the speakers In the refreshing shade of a beautiful grove. Handsome poles were elevated on either side of the street and between them was suspended an unsually beautiful flag, the streaming folds of which flung to the breeze the names of Winfield Scott Hancock and "William 11.

Tho United Brethren church, at Buffalo Run, Port Matilda Circuit, Allegheny Conference, was dedicated last Sunday and a kind cor reepondent gives us the following partic ulars regarding the edifice: Revs. M. Spanglcr, J. M. Smith, J. F. Tallhelm, B. J. Hummell and L. W. Stabl, paster in charge, were present. The church is a frame, 26x40 feet, ceiling 18 feet. It has a very nice steeple and a good bell. A lot of half an acre is nicely arranged, fenced on three sides by a good post and rail fence and in front bv paling fence. A board walk is laid from the gale to its statek S—t. Tfca Mfsrakr work was done by John and George Cole, of Rdlefonte, assisted by C. Hartaock, of the Valley, and gives satisfaction. The plastering is the work of John Carson, a good workman of tho Valley"; and the painting by Henry Getts, of Tyrone, Pa., .bows that be is a master in that art. The following articles were donated toward the construction of the building : A fine quality of hard lumber by John Mat tern, a brother of the M. E. church, noted for his good works. It was used for wainscoting. Pulpit, by Henry Myers snd Henry Getts, of Tyrone, remarkable for beauty snd neatness. Alter, by J. C. Walker, of Boggs township, acknowledged to be Tory fine.

Of this amount $350 was asked for and secured— s2oo in cash. For a country church it Is acknowledged by all competent judges that the strictest economy was practiced throughout. There was a hearty co-operation in the work by all the members. The Buffalo Run con gregation i weak, but thev did nobly in work and money. May the Lord bless them l| The dedicatory services were interesting, especially the sermon on Sabbath morning t>y Brother Spangler. Thanks are due to all who aided in the eervkw. Great credit is due Rev. L. W. Stabl for the manner in which the work was pushed forward. May the Lord blees the little vine planted there. m J. S. WAIT*. —Mr. Spencer C. Ogden, who will be pleasantly remembered (especially by the young ladies) as a former employe of the Rrpublicnn office, and who has been in the South since last spring in the service of the Georgia Land and Lumber Company, has returned and ia now in town. But his return la much like the sun akining between storm clounds, as it is only pre paratory to another and longer departure this time across the "deep blue ocean" to the western const of Africa, where Spen der will endeavor to cultivate a coffee plantation In the interest of Philadelphia parties.
