DERRIT SMITH ON DEMOCRACY.
Hon. GERRIT SMITII has not pro
fessed to be a party man for many
years past. An honest• abolitionist
and consistant temperance mari,when
both these measures were unpopular,
his sentiments aro entitled and
should have great weight witt the
friends of temperance. In a recent
letter wrote N. Y. Tinier he thus
pictures the democratic party, and
shows the dangers to be feared should
they again secure control of the
government:
The Democratic party, organized
by our fathers, was a good one. It
ent, at least in theory,and with the
honest purpose of a speedy corres
ponding practice. for the equal rights
of ail men. It maintained its honor
and usefulness, until in an evil hour
it was tempted- to increase its, vote
and power by taking slavery under
its wing. And now, for more than
half a century,this slavery-transform
ed party has not ceased,to pour out
upon the country it has cursed, its
demoralizina and destructive influ
ences. In fastening slavery upon us,
quite naturially, and even
necessarily, dragged down our whole
national character into correspon
dence with this rnlling abomination.
Every valuable interest was damaged
by it: Every virtue wus diluted by
EspeCiaily did temperance suffer
from it Dram-shops and Democrats
sprang up together everywhere; and,
Mike Walsh's, famous boast that
dram shops are the nurseries, schools
and recruiting stations of the Demo
cracy was verified "
everywhere. It
was the grave imperilin g of slavery
and then its abolition that caused
the Democratic, party to languish for
these dozen years. Take away, froth
it its far more vital support of the
dram-shop, and it would be left dead_
—atone dead. Surely, not one step
should be taken toward reviving such
a party. Surely, the good men Who
are so unfortunate as to be in it (no
good man can be' f -it) should has-
ten to break it up by withdrawing
from it.
For - thirty years before the
rebellion the abolitionists were work
ing ftr the overthrow of slavery.
They onld make tut little headway
however, against the Democratic
party. In th eyes of this party these
self - sacrificing philanthropists and
patriots were fit only to be mobbed
and murdered. Certainly,there should
not he'one finger to help to lift up
this party from prostration to power.
The, rebellion would never have
broken out but for the encourage
ment this party gave it. It promis
ed the rebels 50,00 Q armed allies
from the city of New York alone.
It promised, through ex-President
Pierce in his letter to. Jefferson
Davis; that "the fighting will not be
along '..Vlasori and Dixon% line mere
ly. It will be within our own bor
ders, in our own streets, between the
two rlasses of eitizens"—meaning
the Abolitionists and their pro-slavery
or Democratic neighbors. It oppos
ed with fire and slaughter, as in the
instance of the riot in New York, in
1863, the drafting of men to fill up
our decimated armies. During the
whole of the rebellion the sympathies
of this treasonable party were ever
with the South And slavery..- It
never rejoiced in 'our victories, but
always in our defeat.
I close with saying that there are
crimes too great to be forgotten.
One of them is the crime of"the
political party that deliberately
upholds slavery, and_ another is the
crime of the political party that turns
against its country in time of war'.
Of both these atrocious crimes has
the Democratic party been emphat
ically and persistently guilty. Hence,
though it may ever so humbly seek
our forgiveness, we have a two fold
reason for withholding it.
I have not mentioned by name
the negro-raurderin. "White Leag
uers." Like the Ku-Klux outlaws,
they are simply Democrats. Both
are fired with the spirits and aims
of the Demobracy, and - "it is sot on
ire of '
DEW ISSUE . S.—Democracy charges
the Republican party with trying to
revive the "dead issnes" 4 of the past..
When these dead issues come to us
in the shape of murdered Republicans,
whose only crime was the color of.
their akin, or loyalty to the Govern
ment that gave them freedom and
citizenship, we have • a r'gbt to deal
with them, and to insist that freedom
of opinion, protection to life, liberty,
and property, the restoration of law,
Order, and security throughout the
land—though dead issues in the sight
of Democracy—shall not be lost sight
of as among the live issues before the
American people to-day. When these
issues are met and settled forever;
when an enlightened public sentiment
and a rigid enforcement of the law
shall make life, property. and freedom
of opinion as secure in the Southern
States as they are to-slay in the
North; when the shadow of Demo- -
cratic repudiation shall pass - away
and - all sections shall be eager to
maintain the credit of the nation as
ene of the sacred trusts of the past;
when danger no longer threatens the
peace and prosperity of the country,
and honesty and loyalty become the
basis of party organizations it will
then be in order for Democracy to
claim that the mission of the Repub.
lican party is ended. Until this
happy time arrives the people must
cling to the Republican party as to
the rock of national safety.
WATCH the poll list on the. 3d of
November and see that no Republi
can is allowed to stay away from the
polls. One vote may change the

EII , - , AN INQIIIII7 LITO TUE MFANTNO OF TOE
TEEMS POLIIICA, POLITICIANS, ETC., AS NADI/USE
OF DI TUE INDEPENDENT (?) PUMAS, AND A DE-
PRE,BBED Dotocsacv.--We . have been 80 bewil
dered as to the correct meaning of the words
cilitical" and "politician,' of late, particu
larly as they aro made use of by the papers
claiming to be independent, that we have been
compelled to seek anew for a definition that
had the stamp of authority.
W I EDA7EII defines a politician to be "a man
versed in the science of government, , and in
the lan of governing." Wo always supposed
that goVernment, and a)l that appertained to
government, was entirely respectable, until
these independent papers inform us, with an
air of supernal sauctity; - that they are not "po-
lineal papers." We are still farther confused,
by this disclaimer, because never were our in
nocent understandings so completely under
the conviction of anything as that, according
'to their own estimate of the word, they were
fully tud entirely political. All the odium that
attaches to a time-serving policy, is so openly
apparent in their conduct, as to fix the atten
tioni irresistibly. They invite covert enmity to
strike through their columns, in the form of
"free discussion." They announce- that they
will withhold partisanship, until the first and
most vital necessity of wise selection of Candi
dates is made, and then they will "go for men"
rather than party. ANNA Drew:so!: would re
joice over this decision. They escape the foul
contamination of those " primary meetings"
that her virtuous soul abhors. And then they
will be well advertised. According to their
own charitable construction of the word, they
will become "politicians." They are not wil
ling to stand aside, in these periods of public
agitation, as the purely literary and mural or
gans they claim to be, but they must needs be
in the thickest of the metre, for ;#le sake of rec
ognition, and alwaysin such an attitude that
they hope to avoid all responsibility and-escape
all risk. A glorious country wo would have
had, if GEORGIE WABIIINGTON had been a politi
-ciau of this stripe—for politician ho surely was
in its hirger sense of statesmanship. He map
ped out gevernmtnt. lie applied' himself to
its administration. He studied its practicabili
ties and adaptabilities with ceaseless anxiety,
and ho even accepted office at the hands of the
dominant party. Ho was 6 military man, and
possibly upon his inauguration into his "second
term," he heard mutterings of "Ciesarism" and
"Pretorian Guards." Out cf the calm of his
mighty soul ho may have listened to those
same howlinga about political chicanery and
"robberies of the public funds'," that are
shrieked forth by the enemies of republican in
stitutions, from the bill summits and valley
gorges of Bradford county.
What does it all amount to in this latter day,
that inferior men failed to comprehend him,
and questioned his motives
,? They all belong
tO one clacke. Every man, woman and child,
who catches up and prolongs the hue and cry
of infamy and suspicion agab.st those upon
whom devolve the necessity of carr ' g on and
upholding the structuio of goce :rent, is lia
ble to the one charge : that of ignorant or in
tentional public demoralization, and their
works will follow them,
There was a time when a branch or the min
fifty shrank from denouncing certain evils that
were fatally immoral, because a clamorous fac
tion classified them as political, - and improper
themes for the pulpit. We have known men,
both of the clergy and laity, who were so fear
ful of countenancing anything that savored of
pulitics or politicians, that they would not vote.
It is not for us to sly that such men have.
mistaken their calling, as Christian teachers,
but it appears quite as reasonable to separate
religion from theology and church government,
as it does to separate patriotism horn politics
and civil administration, If it is honorable to
die for one's country, it is honorable to live for
it, and do its office work, and it seems to ns a
far more benevolent practice to spend one's
energy in bringing his own, and the proportion
of public sentiment hepay be able to influence,
up to a higher comprehension of Roverninent,
and the nature of wise governmental rapport
and co-operation, than it is to be el/gging its
wheels by discord, and unjustly aroused suspi
cion of its officials, from the highest to the low
est-in the ranks...
There have been delinquents in the political
world, and in the religions world, but wise men
single them out and seek to leave the living
principle Intact, rather than blacken and blast
the whole system, by .persistent and wholesale
charges of inherent iniquity. Who are our poll-
ticians? . Where is one among thorn, that these
accusers will not cross hands and [break htetd
with? "Ob,"say they, knowingly, "ho is well
enough as a man, but he's a dishonest politi-
Clan." Grandlogio this, that wriggles a dis
honest officer out of an honest man, and the
world is getting tired of the slang. Drop your
man socially, if you have condemned him as a
public officer; and help look upkbetter one to
fill his Place. There are large questions to set
tle, if slavery is dead, and there is better busi
ness for men of brains, than to ho airing their
jealousies and stigmatizing their betters. If
you want Dolan:es office and DolittiN'a salary,
you won't get it , by blackmailing DoBBINs out
-pf it, even it the administration chs.,ges. An
approximate measure of home merit will stand
yon better in hand, than pages of scurrilous in
sinuation thrust edgewise into the cracks of
some neutral news market.,

I hive the pleasure of bringing to your notice
for the first, a new seedling, the "Towanda,"
and of very great promise. It was discovered
near a "Diana" vine, ha 1869, and removed with
some others to a more favorable spot, whore
without attention and uncared for specially, it
struggled along for seme years, and finally pro
duced a bunch of delicious fruit. The speci
men which I send you is only a fair one, not
the largest. The vino is a strong, vigorme,
healthy-growing one., The wood ripens well
and does not mildew. llt is short-jointed and
of a dark red color. The leaves are small and
healthy; the fruit possessecit peculiar aromatic
flavor, enjoyed by all who have tasted it, and
the 'skin, except the color, is like the "Diana."
It keeps well, ripens with the "Delaware," and
-beats the "Martha" and the "Croton,' both of
which we have here. I have written you Ulna
at length, thinking yon would be interested,
and wt . ilung your opinion.
Respectfully yours, etci,-

Mr. Lyons sat in the inner office
of his saloon, and a tall, pale lady in
deep mourning stood before him.
She refused to sit, saying that no
thing could make her at ease in's
place like that.
"Calm yourself, madam," said the
polite proprietor, "you are under
some misapprehension. This is,not
one of those low grogeries of which
You speak. Look at these elegant
surroundings, and believe me that
only gentlemen assemble here or pa
tronize my bar; there is nothing here
which can contaminate your son."
" Contaminate! Do 'you not sei
the liquid poison? Is not this one
of those bright, enchanted palaces
which are but the entrance-wars
to the broad avenue which leads to
destruction,---whose other end is in
hell. My boy is like other boys: his
home is dreary and sad, since therh
is only a mother in widow's weeds
and tears to welcome him ?there;
your saloons are brilliant and gay,
with their gloW of light, their flashes
of crystal goblets, brimming with
ruby- wine. The company is jovial;
jest .and laugh and song suit his
young taste better than even a moth
er's loving tiara. Nay, more,l will
tell yon a secret: my boy inerits a
fearful appetite; the habit once fos
tered upon him, it is bat 'a steady
and certain progress to that fearful
end, de/irium tremens, through which
his father sank forever from my
sight. Harry means well; he loves
me; be promised his father upon his
death-bed never to touch the terrible
thing which had been his ruin; but
already he spends more of his time
with you than with me; already he
conies home flushed and excited, and
I know the syinptoms only too well.
Oh, God I must I be called upon to
go through it' all again—to follow,
step by step, from the showy saloon
to the corner dram-shop, the low
groggery, the drunkard's grave, the
drunkard's hell. And Thou knowest

• " Mr. Lyons,
forgive me if I am
discourteous, but how would Yon
feel, what would you say to the man
who should put what you know to
be a glass of poison to your - boy's
lips, simply that he might make
money by the murder ?"
"I will never forgive the man who
teaches my boy to drink," said Mr.
Lyons impulsively, and when he
looked up his visitor was gone.

passed, two more stood in her place,

to sing in wonderfully sweet voices,
such a song as had not often been
heard within those walls, and when
they had finished, one said
• "Andrew Lyons, we are praying

"Oh, father, mother," said Andrew

"Did you know of this, Andrew ?"
said Mrs. Lyons, looking toward her
husband. ,
"Not . exactly. I aw Secretary of
the Association; but I 'as not pres
ent at the laot meeting. I know the
rules, however, and the spirit of the
men; they are capable of anything
where the iMerests of the trade are
at stake."
"Anti yon, Andrew, are willing to
belong to a guild of kidnappers."
It was the first scornful look he
had ever received from his wife; • the
first word of aught but loving defer
ence from her which had ever met
his ear, and ho inwardly resolved
there nev i er should be another. It
was the last feather which weighed
down the evenly-balanced scale.
' "Andrew," said he, as he rose from
the table; "stop at the saloon on your
way back, and tell John to put np
the shutters. So help ,me God Al
mighty, I will never sell another
drop of that cursed liquor. From
this moment I am out of that most
tin-lawful business." ,
CHAPTER V.,
A few weeks had passed. Charlie
Morris had turned up,—run away
from a distant city, whither he had
been carried chile under the influ
ence of some drug, and begged his
way home, to the great delight of
his heart-broken mother. The trial,
meanwhile, had gone as usual, in fa
vor of the liquor-dealers, and they,
as usual, were triumphant.
Maud Lyons had no more new
summer clothes; young Andrew went
to a pt blie school, and came home to
a less luxurious dinner than former
ly. But in the florist's store, which
had taken the place.of the old saloon,
a happy man talked with his , pastor,
a man whose eyes had never express
ed such an inner light before.
"I vies so glad to see you at church
yesterday with your wife and chil
dren, Mr. Lyons; I hope it is a pleas
ure lam often to enjoy. I am' glad
to see the change here, too."
" Yes, sir ) , it's a considerable
change," with a slight sigh of regret
for the flesh pots; "but it's a blessed
'one. For. you see, I've made up my
mind to serve the Lord, and how can
a man: do that when lie is engaged in
what tie knows to be an unlawful
business ?"
"You consider the liquor trade un-
lawful, then?"
"Yes, Sir, - I do. No human laws
have a right to condradict Divine
laws.. The Government acknowledg
es the trade illegal when it charges _a
premium on the right•to sell liquor.
The dealers acknowledge it illegal
when they carefully shut out the
sight of it from the public. A. man
knows it to be illegal when his con
science will not allow him to go to
church and yet carry it on."
That Which makes a man's daugh
ters unfit companions for other girls; ,
which takes the hard earnings of the
poor and gives no equivalent; which
sends men to hell, and leaves widows
with no hope of a • re-union; which
draws promising boys into its black•
vortex; which kidnaps other people's
children; which violates every law
of God and forms an insuperable
barrier to the establishmint of his
kingdom, can never, by any process
of political chicanery, be transformed
into a "lawful business."

If, iherefore, the people of Penn

The Democratic party of the nation

part of it is in • favor of repudia
tion it and it is for the people 'of
Venn, ylvania to decide whether they
will again permit such a party ,to
eontrel, and by controlling to ruin,
their future prospects.
The Republican party of the State
bas had possession of the, Govern
ment since' 1861, and has proved in I
that time its claim to continued pub-1
lieconfidence.` It his administered
the government honestly,, aithfulty,
economically, and justly. The State
has grown' with rapid strides under
its fostering care ; the laws are every
where judiciously . enforced ; and, it
needs but the maintenace of the pro
tective policy on the part of the Na-,
tional Government, to secure. our
advance,:at an early day, into the';
fronti rank of all the States.
When the Republicans assnmed
the reins of the State Government in
1861 'they found a State debt of over
$40,090,000, and the breaking out of
the Rebellion entailed an immediate
addition to that debt of $3,500,000
for arming the people and defending
the State, SO that they began their
administration with the burden; of
over 03,00,000,000 of debt. That
debt has now been reduced to $24,-
000;000, a reduction in round- num
bers-Of 419,000,000 in thirteen years,
or $1,500,000' yearly. . This reduc
tion 1 has been accomplished by
economy and honesty in the admin
istration of the finances, and not by
taxation. - The State tax on real
estate was repealed in 1866,.and that
on personal estate in 1873, so- that
while the State is free from direct
taxation it is still rapidly and steadily
extinguishing its debt.' ,
This is a handsome I record to pre
' is a complete I
sent, Land answer to all
the ridiculous charges that have been
tramped up of . corruptness - and
extravagance.. The State has never
beenj better or more honestly manag
ed under any adminiF,tration, and we
point to this record with pride in the
contrast it presents io .the policy
Which, dur og-the rule, 'of the Demo
oratC, inflicted upon the State a debt
I i !
$2 per Annum in .A.dvanc.
(4 $10,000,000, accompanied with a
heavy burden of direct taxation.
We desire to 'remind our Republi
can friends that the Legislature to
bit chosen this fall will' have in its
hands the election of a 'gni:ea States
Senator for six years. It is of the
utrile,st importance, therefore, that,
ignoring all causes of local distrac

Democrat elected to the Legislature
in Republican counties on a local
issue, will'vote only fora Democrat'

render such it result possible.
We also entreat oar friends to pay

effects, a result which, when panics
occurred heretofore, recittirecl several
years to accomplish; and, as the only
remg& which - Democracy offers is
freekliade and a return i to the de
structive policy which produced the
ruinous revulsiona of 1837 and 1857,
the people will find it much safer to
trust to the policy under which the
country is now recuperating than to
fall back upon the'explocled one that
prevailed under Democratic rule.
We earnestlyurff ° e upon our
friends throughout the Common
wealth to wake up to the)real impor
tance of the pending election, and byl
energetic work to render certain a
Republican victory. Such' a victory
is not to be won by supineness, and
folding the hands careless
neglect of the great issties at stake.
Victory, if won, must be q3ought, and
not waited for. Active, energetic,
unflagging effort is essential to as
surdsuccess. -It is notl in the pow
er of the Democracy tcls carry this
,State of themselves, but carelessness
and 'neglect on our part 'may aid
them. I
Organization, work, and the culti
vation of a spirit of conciliation and
harmony where local differences have
prevailed, will accomplish much; and
we appeallo the_Repnblicans of the
State, as they love their cherished
principles, as they are I t deVoted to
the promotion of the material inter
ests of the Commonwealth, as they
value the preservation of the peace
of the Union and,' its perpetuity, as
they desire the permanent establish- i
went of the protective policy, as
they value honesty; integrity, and
fidelity in their public 1 servants, to
put on a fresh zeal for their sacred
and righteous cause, toj renew their
hearty devotion to their principles
and thti - wellfare of the Country, and
by a strong and determined rally at
the polls, to crush out (at once the
hopes of those who would light again
the fires of rebellion - ail the South,
and the purpose to co-operate with
them 'which animates their
Dehmeratic coadjutors at the North.

The boy did not argue with his fa.

father;
"I canpray to-night for some wood,
it is better than ',stealing I know."
And when be crept' iap into the

go to God in prayer. He prayed the
Lord's prayer, which This Sabbath
school teacher taught him, only he
put something iO about wood, for he
knew God could give wood as well
as "daily bread."'
The next noon,' when he came home
from school, what dolyott think he

LIVING IN A LIGHT-HOllBL'.
Light-110*es are strange and lone
ly homes for men to live in. Some of
them are perched oat. on the ocean,
with the land scarcely in eight, and
the restless'sea forever beating and
moaning around them. The keepers
of these do not see other human
faces' than their own in-a quarter of
a year. Night and,day they are on
the wa.ch, gladdened a while by ;a
'ail i thet appears for a little while
and Thep floats out of sight below the
horizon, They might be out of the
world, fpr all they know of its con
cerns—ts losses and gains, its battler;
and itsl i . victOries, the changes that
each dey brings forth. 'There ern
other light-houses situated on the
coast, but sb remote that they are
never srisited; and others that, are
surrounded by the civilization - of' a.
tishingl village, and on summer days
are crowded by fashionable people
from ' the neighboring water-places.
But for
i. ile most part, except -in the
approse es to flourishing ports, they
are built oat on the farthest - margin . ,
of the lend, on far-reaching capes
and peninsulas,, on-iron-hound. head
lands, on detached reeks and sandy
shoals. The' light - ships are still
worso off, anchored as they are in
stormy waters,` and forever rolling
and, plunging, leaping in perpetual
unrest, elipped of their wings, ywhile -
other veSsels are passing and repasi

Somehow I cannot think' of them as

Be good natured if you can, for
there is i no attraction so great, no,

beyond 111 this. It is not the beauty
that, is but' skin deep .. For when you
gaze in' the face of a noble-hearted
man or woman, it is not the shape of

You. pee the nameless somethirg' - --

therefore. It is - better than "apples

gold will take to itself wings and fly :

CHILDF2eI3 STODIEI3.—It is said to
be quite notorious that our youth
are growing physically inferior to the;
youth' of other nations, You may

engine in the World, but if it has not,
the motive, power,,steam, it will not'
work So with man itir woman. You
may train the child till it comes to
maturity in all the branches of learn-,
ing it in possible for him to acquire,
yet if you neglect his physical culture,
why you leave him without the mo
tive power to make use of that hard
won knowledge. Parents are nn
doubtedly anxious to see their child
ren become accomplished scholars,
and hence too often too often fail to
notice that their children are over
taxing themselves. Such a lack of , ,
observntion on their part islhe first
step toward the child's ultimate phys
ical rum. The fault is with the getr-_,
oral public who are apt to criticise
too severely the tktcher\ of a school
whose scholars, do not' show what
they censider a sufficient advance•

teacher is anxious, end invariably

sec to it that their_ children are not
overtaxed, and they may relynpon it _
that When the child reaches maturity
it Will not, be' in any way inferior to - .
its fellow-students in mental acquire
ments, I, and I its physical develope
ments Will be far superior. •
