TURN ouT TO ELECTION.
Republicans . should feel sufficient
interest to tarn out to 'the election
and vote The Republican State ticket,
because, since the Republican party
has been in power in the State it has
reduced the State debt nineteen mill
ions of dollars ($19,000,000).,
Because it has taken off entirely
the State tax on real estate.
Because it hiidone this at a time
when, rebellion at the South and
Democratic sylipathy at , the North
imperiled the safety of the Union.
Because the Republican party has
been true to its obligations both to
the State and the Nation, in war and
in peace.
They should vote for Hon. Der.-
THOLOMEW Lunn= for Congress, be
cause he, if elected,. will stand true
to the principles of the Republican
party, and will vote for Hon. Jana
G. By ATAr—one of the best men in
the nation—for Speaker of the House.
They should not vote fOr JOSEPH Pow-
ELL for Congress, because, if elected,
he wiltvote for 4he Democratic nom
inee for Speaker of the House, who
will no doubt be that great repre
sentative of modern Democracy,
FEENANGO Woos, of New York; as he
Was their nominee last year, and will
be again, notwithstanding his recur.
as a rebel during the war.
They should not vote for jOSEP •
Powzu, because, as a Democrat; h
would vote on all political_ measure:
with Lis party. - Look, Republic:
at the record of the Democratic par •
for the past fourteen years ; reflec
and see whether yon wish you ha.
acted on that side. It was just
safe to be there then as .it will be
go there now.
They should not vote for Mr. Pow
ELL because he, -is a free-trader, .
banker ; interested in keeping up
strin:enc • in thecurrenc • , and hi:
rates of interest. Banks and bankers
loan ,money and follow banking be
cause it is profitable. Elect a Con
gress of bankers, and see how soon
they would forget that the people
have any rights, and would legislate
entirely in their own interest.
They should not vote for Mr. Pow-
EIA because he does not own himself,
but is the ' nominee of a few capital
ists who represent certain corporate
interests in this district, who pre
vailed upon the Democratic confer- .
ence to nominate him. If elected he
will be run and 'controlled by them,
and the rights of the people will not
be represented at all.
They should vote the whole Repnb-
lican -ticket, State, Congressional,
Senatorial, Legislative and all. A
United States Senator
i is to be chosen
next winter, by the legislature, and
to Republicans (and to Democrats
also if they could be made to see it)
it is of.the most importance that our
legislative ticket should be elected,
to insure the election of a Republi
can U. S. Senator next winter.
Let us appeal to yon again, fellow-
Republicans, do not stay away from
election. Dou't despise politics and
politicians. Oars is an elective sys
tem; there must be offices, and offi
cers elected to 'fill them. We can't
all be suited in nominations, and we
must forego for the time being per
sonal objection to candidates, and
save the Republican party from the
hinds of demoralized Democracy.
SORTHEHN DE9IOCRACT VIL, SOUTH
ERR DEMOCRACY:
The Democratic campaign has
opened in earnest throughout the
South. Tennessee ,led the way by
ti.e deliberate massacre of sixteen
colored psopte at one stroke. Lou
isiana followed promptly by the mur
der of nearly equal that number.
Alabama shows her zeal in the cause
by stopping mail trains, killing the
colored agents, and firing into church
congregations of colored people.
Texas, not to be outdone in the latest
struggle for " Southern rights," has
accomplished six hundred
assassinations since the inauguration
of the Democratic Governor, Coke.
Whatever it may mean in the North
ern States, in the South the spread
of Democratic "principles " means
organized ruffianism and wholesale
slaughter.—Pillsbnrgh Commercial.
" In the South the spread of Dem
ocratic principles means organized
ruffianism and wholesale slaughter."
In the North " the spread of Demo
cratic principles " means to shpt the
eyei of the loyal people to the out
rages committed in the name of the
" White League"' in the South, is
the interest of Demobracy; and by
the cry of corruption against the Be-,
publican party, deceive the lukeivarm
, and unwary into voting the Demo
' cratic ticket. Republicans• who are
thus deceived will find to their sor
row that they have been misled into
the committal , of a grave mistake.
When they see that they have aided
in giving the Democratic party in
Congress a majority, and find the
Democratic members from the North
voting with
_their brethren of the
South to undo all that was gained in
conquering the rebellion, then they
will wake up to a realizing sense of
the situation.

the egions of Hell it returns, to the

The record of the Democratic par
ty fOr the past fifteen.years is blacker
the the smoke of , the bottomless pit,
and we must judge its future by the
pas
1 ., "By their fruits ye shall know
them—Do men gather grapes of
thorns or figs of thistles ?" The party
inpOwer is alwayei—and justly—held
itsrionsible for the government nets
and the proper enforcement of thf r )
laws. At the jctation of the Slave
power the DemocratiC party violated
a solemn treaty with the . Crteks and
Cherokees, civilized and christian fn'.-
diens, and drove them from their
homes in Georgia. In obedience‘o
the same power it made war on the
Seminoles in, Florida, for no reason,
except that they furnished an
,asylum
for.runaway slaves, iintrafter a vast
expense to the government in em
ploying the army and procuring
blood-hounds from Cuba, succeeded
in _removing or exterminating them.
It destroyed for a time the freedom
of speech, and of the press, and 'the
right off petition. It refused to pro
tect the persons or prOperty of anti
slavery men. Instead of enforcing
the laws, it encouraged their viola
tion, and incited lawless men to deeds
of violence. It allowed LOVEJOY to
be murdered, Pennsylvania Hall to be
burned, and GARRISON to be led thro'
the streets of• Boston with a rope'
about his neck. Even in the county .
of Bradford, a meeting of peaceable
citizens, assembled in the Court
'House, was allowed' to be broken up'
by a gang of rowdies. It allowed the
mails to be rifled n Charleston, 8,0.,
and their contents burned in, open
day. It enacted ithe. Missouri Com
promise in the nterest of Slavery,
and having got slavery established
south of that lin . then repealed it
in order to have Slavery go north of
it. It annexed Texas to make more
slave States, knowing that annexa
tion would cause war with Mexico.
It refused to apply the Wilmot Pro- '
vino to territory . acquired from Masi-
co by that war. t negotiated, with
'Spain for thepurchase of Cuba to
'make a slave St4e, and threatened
to take it by force when Spain de
clined to sell. It adopted the Popu
lar Sovereignty '. i loctrine, expecting
that it would make Kansas and Ne
braska slave States. It countenanced
the invasion of Kansas by the Mis
souri border ruffians, who marched
in the day before election - and took
possession of the polls by force ; and
it recognized the constitution And
laws established by the votes of these
non-resident cat-throats. It. re
moved, or cause d the resignation of
Rum: and GEtßY—honest Gover
nors of its owS l appointment,—be

duty work of forcing slavery on an
unwilling people; i It appointed.Wm
sox Ssensois Governor because he
was known to ba an unprincipled sot
and a willing tool of the slave poweri
Popular Sovereignty having disap
pointed.its expectations, it embraced
the doctrine that the constitution, by
its own power, Carried slavery into
all the Territories, and got _ . a weak
old Judge to make a decision to that
effect. It encouraged the rebellion
when it had the power, and could
have smothered it out without shed
ding one drop of blood. It robbed
the arsenals of the North to place
munition of war in reach of the
rebels. It demoralized our army in
Texas, and caused it to be surren
dered without firing a grin. It scat
tered our navy to the four corners of
[

in-coming RepUblican President. It

very nearly their imanimoui - vote.
Bat with experience and growing
intelligence they are becoming more
independent, and many of them are
,i
beginning to realize that the only
hope for the : aboring man in this
country, whate i er his nationality or
color, is hi t 1 e Republican party.
The Irish IVor d, the organ of the
li
Irish in this
flow -countrymen
very frankly
warns its no
I9nger to submit to the deception of
te DemockatiC leaders. It says . :
" Whatever may be urged against
the Republican party, the charge of
ingratitude, it least, cannot be laid
at its door. It made capital out of
the negro ; bt, it, in turn, conferred
rights on the negro and lifted him
into a position i of honor. The De
mocracy, on the other hand, has stu
diously ignored the claims of the ,
Irish. And lyet you Democratic
stump speaker i s will have the effron
tery to come before our race in No
vember and attic us for votes! Such
impudence certainly refreshing.
All we have to say in , this matter is,
that if you get our votes then we de
serve the contempt you throw upon
us. * * *ll The Republican party
has treated the negroes as inert ; the
Democratic
. party has treated the
Irish as niggers.
"Till now* crushing tyranny hail
hung on thel necks of the Irish in
this land.No man of the Irish
race dare vete outside the Demo
cratio party. From the day he landed
at Castle Garden till the day - he drew
his last paper he was given to under
stand ,by 'the satraps of Tammany
that he belonged to them and to their
chiefs. If h 4 voted otherwise he was
called a . renegade. This tyranny
must be broker"! This domineering
insolence Enlist be. rebuked! Oar
people must' be free to dispose of
theirwait: as their consciences
may
. dictate It is:
immaterial to us
how mdivid go. Yon who think
fit to vote the Republican ticket do
so. Yon who deem it proper to vote
the DemoOratic ticket do so, Assert
your citizenOip. Act like men who
Ofeel that thair votes belong to them;
selves, and not , to brazen paleface."

IRISHMEN, READ!
AN OPEN LETTER TO LABORING EN.
OnyTtiesday next yon will be called
upon to ,again exercise the elective
franchise). , Have' you given, the sub
ject a careful consideration. If you
have not, then the hours intertening
between this and election day are
few enough indeed, in which to : take
a careful survey of the great issues
presente,d, and upon which you will
then be Called to IHISS judgement. To
my opinion no election since the re
hellion was crushed has.presented is
sues of such Vital importance to the
laboring' classes as the present. The
Democratic party, unsuccessful in. its
attempt to destroy the Union, ' is
making the most strenuous exertions
to regain what it lost by its sur
render to the slave-power—the con
trol of the government. Are you
willing it should -succeed ? ?arise
for a moment and consider what the
inevitable result • mast be should the
so-called Deinocratic party succeed
in if effort : At the head of that par
ty, shaping and controlling its policy,
is a class of men whose every idea of
government is 'antagonistic to your
advanceinent,not only socially bat in
the acquirement of that competency
which', under a more liberal policy,
would insure to your declining years
an immunity from wearisome toil and
privation. Among these men, and,
I might say, the 'chief managers,
stands August Belmont, a man
whose only. interest in the welfare of
this government is a desire to make
the best market for the fends of the
house of the Rothchilds ' of which he
is the financial, agent in this country.
Reared in the lap of luxury, associa
ting with; and partaking of the views
of titled nobility, he believes capital
should own labor. Associated with
him, and eipmlly desirous for the
success of the democratic party,
are such men as the Hoffman's of
New 'York, the Woodward's of your
own State, and , the fonder slave
holder's of the Southern States, all of
whom have no interest in the welfare
of the toiling millions of this great
country farther than to' use them to
bring 'to their coffers the means to
gratify their luxurious tastes and as
skit them to ape the airs of foreign
aristocracy. Never having labored
for their bread they look upon the
laboririg
. man as not only beneath
them socially bat intellectually. Liv-
Mg in princely style themselves they
care not for your hardships, and from
education and association cannot sym
pathise with' you in adversity. Is it
any wonder then; that a party under
the control of such men, should de
sire to open the ports of this country
to the free entry of the wares manu
factured in the old country by the
less than half. paid artisan? Not at
all ? By such a. policy they hope to
crush out the growing spirit of inde
pendence among the mechanics of
this' country, and force them back on
a social equality with the serf of En
rope. Free Trade means the closing
of the doors of the great iron mills
and ma,nufacturies of this Common
wealth, the stopping of the spindles
in the great cotton mills of the Eas
tern and New England`States; the
lowering of the pay, of the laboring
man till the necessaries of life will
be harder for him to obtain than the
luxuries are under the present policy.
Remember that wheat at two dollars
per bushel is more easily obtained
when yon have the two dollars, than
wheat at one dollar per bushel when
you have riot got the dollar to pay.
The leaders of the democratic par.
ty have selected the present „fall in
which to make a gigantic effort tc
wrest the control of the government
from the republican party. They be•
lieve that the time is auspicious for
their success from the' fact that nc
Presidential election takes place, and
that the country is but just recover•
ing from the severe financial panic o
a year ago, and the necessary stagna
tion of business caused thereby. Thel
are resorting to all sorts of device
to compass the end they aim at.' Ir
Republican Districts they have nom
nated men who are personally pope
lar with the masses, hoping to secur
their election by advocating thei
personal claims for suffrage. Bu
.this is not ; the policy in the stron l
Democratic districts. There th
most virulent :partisans, irrespectiv
of their personal standing, are th
candidates. Can you doubt the ail
of this manonvre? It is to secure

I . • BABYLON.
About 2,400 years ago, the "quetn
,city of the world.", the " mistress of
the East," was Babylon Babyl
the GreaV that, mighty ci t y of ,tie
land of Chaldea. To me there is no
:part of ancient'histery So i4erestirig,
so connected with
~the • vend and
mighty events of 1 thoSe ages - , and
with the prophecieS contained in the
Bible, as the history of -Babylon and
the erripire in which it waslthe capi
tal
city for a long' time. IThe c'ty l
i
was founded not long after the flo d,
but its earlfhistory_is- obscure, f- 1
ter the death of Ninus, - king of the
Chaldees, Semiramis, his wife, deter- j
wined to perpetuate herj memOry
through all time, and for this pur
pose she set Edina remodeling and
rebuilding Babylon) The City , stod
in the middle 'of 11 . 7ery fertile pl in,
a branCh of the river Euphrates r 'll,-
ning through the centre of the city.
She, laid the city out 15 mites squi.re,
.and proceeded to it with a
wall 87 feet thick and : , 350 350 feet' in
height, enclosing the city on all sides.
Also on each side of the river, al4ing
the banks, a similar wall as built,
making 90 -miles' of the largest Wall
the world has ever i seen. ITo -bnild
this wall she employed over two mil
lion men, collected front all herfast
territories. The wall w_aS made of
brick, cemented, with bitumen. The
material for , the bias , - ins . taken
front - just outside.the. wall, making
- an, immense.fiitch.; - There wero 50
streets only in the City, 25 running,
each way, with 25 gates on each side,
all of solid brass; thus , dividing the
city into squares. Around tese
squares the houses were hnilt, ery
,i
tall and magnificently ornament d.
'. On .the west'side of , the cit ~ an
artificial lake Was - dug, 140 nines
square and 75 feet [deep; the water
of the river ,Tias turned into his,
while the city was being built, and
afterwards' it was turned in &ring
freshets, and used to lirrigate, the
lands daring *oaths, them insuring
two crops anuy., After the death
of Semirami4 many other's did such
to adorn and beautify the; city.. One
of . the wonders of fib() cityr wail the
bridge over the river, ones furlong in
length and 30 feet in , width, eon
.structed of immense stones fast ned
together with chains of iron and
lead, the bridge , having no sti pert
from one end ,to the other. The
Hanging. Gardens, one of, the Seven
Wonders of the world, Were carried
up in the form. of terraces to the
height of the walls, the j earth i ttpon
them being thick enongh to llow
the largest trees to take root. -, They
measured 400 feet on a side. On
the east side of the river wa the
Temple of Bela& It was in theform
i
of eight towers, one above another,
being much - higher than the vpalls.
Upon the top"' of the teinple wa,s an
observatory, from, whence the ta.by
lonians attained great - proficien t y in
astronomy; as at onetime theywore
the greatest astronomerslof the *orld,,
it being from the Bali to that the
Egyptians gained their first knoWl
edge of that science.. The inside of
this temple was es muchnotedfr its
temple itse for
magnificence as
fir
its size. There was, one state of
the god to whom the temple way ded
icated which was 40 feet ''iigh -- , of pure
-gold. • ,
Thus I have .given You an ac omit
of some of the wonders Of this an
cient city. I have not spoken, how
ever, of its magnificent palace and
and
temples, or of the immense runs of
the Tower of Babel, and many othei
things of interest.. Bat when we

Babylonians became a very wicked ,
