Mr. Horatio Holt was a bachelor, aged thirty years or thereabouts, and possessed of a fortune which yielded an amount at interest not only to maintain himself in comfortable circumstances without work, but also to allow him to add yearly to the principal the sum of a hundred and twenty pounds. Thus he was considered to be independently wealthy, and was looked upon as a very handsome and ex cellent young man by various "disinterest ed" papas and mammas whose daughters were of about the right age to begin to think of "wedded bliss." Among other peculiarities to which Mr. Holt was attached—or which were attached to him—was the very skeptical idea that there was not, or ever had been, such an improbable thing in existence as love. He believed in that matrimony, as well as other/ matters , call poor& -wore actuated by m otives of self-interest; hence he regarded with suspicion all females who approached him. "For, muttered he, "they are after my money, and do ' ,t mach care how they get it. They would' like—to—marry me confoundedly well. One day Horatio was sitting iu the sit ting-room of his chambers, with his feet occupying a comfortable position on the table, and he himself reclining back in an easy chair, alternately enjoying the flavor of a choice cigar, and partaking in genteel sips of the contents of a wine glass supposed to contain the "pure, gen uine and only port." While occupying this position—which is well known to be one of the great prerogatives peculiar to the masculine gender, and which, of course, confers an immense amount of credit on the sex—he was considerably startled by the sadden opening of the door and the unceremonious entrance of the maid-of-all-work, who bore in, her hand a letter which she stated the post man had just that moment left. "Confound the girl," said Mr. Holt, when alone, as he broke the seaL "She might have given a little warning before she intruded upon the sanctity of my solitary feast. I had my feet somewhat elevated into the upper regions, and I'm a sinner if she don't report the same to the landlady. However, open 'Sesame, and—" The completion of this speech was lost by reason of Mr. Holt at this instant be coming deeply absorbed iu the coutents of his epistle, a verbatim copy of which we take the liberty to make public. "Dec. Bth, 18— Cousix Honarto.—Chirstmen will soon be here, and we want you to come and spend the holidays with us. We have invited several friends whom you knew in days gone by, and we shall have an excellent time. There is a very beautiful and accomplished young lady friend of ours, who lives in the second or third vill age beyond you, who will be sore to be here. We are sure you will be pleased to make her acquaintance. Perhaps you will fall in love with her. Just think of it, a crusty old bath, like you falling iu love! We most humbly beg your pardon if these linesoffend you, but you must surely come. With sincerity, your cousins P. B.—Father sends regards, and says that bankers here are paying one per cent. higher interest than tho bankers with whom you deposit. He says you had bet ter bring some money and invest it here. Yours once more, JOHN AND SOPHT. Mr. Holt carefully perused this letter four distinct time; and then, folding it with great precision, thoughtfully and de liberately inserted it in the envelope and put both in his pocket. "The immortal Homer has asserted in hie never dying Iliad, that the best part of a woman's letter is the postcript," said Mr. Holt, half aloud, as be resumed his cigar and scientifically blew a cloud into the air. "The famous old fellow. It is certain ly very true in this case. Let me see, if I visit my excellent cousins and take with me thousand pound; I shall get one per cent more interest, which is just ten pounds! Quite a gain. I shall surely have to pass the holidays with my dearly beloved ,cousins, for whom, of course, I entertain the highest regard and affection. Oh, I love them dearly—and the ten pounds too! As for the yotmg lady they are going to have there, I'll teach her she can't get me, in spite of all the beauty she may bring to bear! Well, I will pack my valise, take up my bed, draw a thous and, and then take the train, which will leave in exactly two hours from this time. When the two hours had elapsed the train came puffing info the station, and among the passengers that entered the carriages was Mr. Horatio Holt, carrying in his hand a not very large valise, iu which were what change of clothes he would need during the coming ten days, and also the thousand pounds. "No one knows that this carpet bag of mine contains a small fortune," said Horatio to himself as he looked fora seat, "and if I act carelessly with it, and as if I cared not where it went to, all suspicion will be avoided, I shan't be robbed, and everything will be lovely, and the goose will dangle in the air. The train was nearly full, and after a very extensive search, Mr. Ht.lt discovered that there was only one seat that appear ed to be available; but alas for his good fortune, if he occupied it he would be ob liged to sit by the side of a captivating young lady, with the most bewitching black eyes and ravishing curls that Mar e 8 eyes ever gazed up. i "She s a splendid creature," said Ho ratio, looking at her from the op ...le side-of the Carriage,• "bat shetis pro • .ly after a husband, and I'll be hanged if I'll have any thing to do with these confound ed man-hunters. However, as standing up is worse than being hanged, I'll see if I can getthe seat," he added, as he cross ed over to where the young lady sat. "Are .Toll—beg your pardon ma'am— but is this seat engaged?" said - 'Mr. Holt, with some embarrassment, for his acqnain tome with ladies had not been very es tensive.

"It is at your service if von wish." "Thank yon, ma'am," said Horatio, as he placed his valise on the rack overhead, and took his seat "Pleasant day, ma'am." " Very," said .the young lady, quite calmly, as she looked out the window. (Yesterday was quite a pleasant day," said Horatio, who had an unaccountable desiie.to keep up a conversation, and was rather in want of a subject. "i thought it rained a little in the morning," said the young lady. " Well, perhaps' it did, ma'am," said Mr. morning," with sonie hesitation. "The fact is; I derived my information solely from a barometer, which might have lied, as it belongs to my landlady, and I am sorry to say has caught some of her pro pensities." " I should judge from what you say," said the young lady, very demurely, "that the habit of telling tibs was Quito con tagious At yourianntady's house." "Yon Are correct in your opinion," said Horatio, bending down to catch a view of her face, because ho was not at all cdrtain about the last remark. "The fact is, the barometer began to falsify about the same tines the man inherited from his father the wooden limb as a legacy." He peered mischievously up into her face as he said this, and she, glancing quickly at him for an instant, turned aside her head, and burst into the most musical laugh that ever completed the conkuest of a man's heart. Then she blushed so rosily, and looked so pretty and bewitching, that Mr. Holt was oblig ed—although he hated to dreadtnlly—to acknowledge to himself that there might be something in love after all, and that this getting married was not such a very great humbug as he had tried to make out it was, especially when the bride had roguish black eyes, and wore such cap tivating curls. In short, we find that a strict adherence to truth compels us to record the fact that Mr. Horatio Holt, the crusty old bachelor, who had no faith in womankind, was about—though not quite—"over head and ears in love" with the sweet, dear, irresistible little witch, whom accident had placed by his side ou his journey to the city. In half an hour after having first spok en to the young lady, Horatio felt so much at home that he chatted quite freely with his fair companion, and even went so far as to give her his confidence, and impart the information that he was going to the city to spend the holidays with some relatives, and did ncit expect to be back fur ten or twelve days at least. Now it happened, as a very remarkable coincidence, that the young lady was also going to the city to spend the holidays, though with this difference, that it was friends and not relatives whom she intend ed to visit. Having thus established a sort of mutu al confidence, though it was not on a very extensive scale, they got along still more finely, and by the time they arrived with in twenty miles of their destination were far from being strangers. "Bless my soul!" cried Mr. Holt, sud denly, as the train stopped at a small station, "if tin; is not the place at , which I've got to get out and stay fur Bevels! hours before I go to the city.' " What!" exchnined the lady. "are you not going to the city now? I surely thought you were." " No, no," says Horatio, hurriedly rising from Ins seat; "I have a friend here whom I very much wish tp see, and so I shall have to go. lam ter." sorry, but I hope I shall see you in tle city. If I do not, why, then larewell 4 and if for ever, fare thee well, even thotgh unforgiven'—and so forth. Adieu !" And Mr. Holt, seising his valise, rushed with precipitous haste out of the carriage just as the train moved away. It was about half an uour before din ner-time that Horatio, carrying his valise in his band, walked op the street of the little village, and stopping before his friend's house, rang the door-bell, and was admitted. He was shown into the sitting-room and left alone a few minutes, until his friend came down from up stairs, which ho very soon did,"and they had a very sociable" time together, smoking cigars, sipping wine, and behaving like gentlemen of wealth and independence that they were. "Do you know, ni dear vagabond," said Horatio, knocking the ashes from his cigar, '-that I have a sret to pour into t our ear, hoping it w I not go out of ;idyour month ! I sat in kthe train to-day y the side of the love est, most divine, fairest angel that ever li wings. I could hardly tear myself own and should not have done so, only I w afraid thy heart would have gone astny if I had stayed any longer, which is asort of rhyme. By the way, I wish you would keep an eye on my valise, for I don'tiknow mach about your servants. Mire is a thousand pounds in it that I an going to take to the city. • "A thousand pounds!' exclaimed his friend, starting up. "Why did yon not tell me of thus befoie ? Where is the valise ?' "In the hail, I suppose. Anyway, I gave it to the servant when I came in.' " You are the most careless fellow I ever knew," said his friend, impatiently, as he hurried out of the room. He soon returned, btriug the valise in his hand. "Is this it?" " Yes." "You had better uniock it and see if your money is safe." ' Accordingly Horatio took the key out of his pocket, and opening the valise, thrust his hand therein. " Bless my'sonl I" 'Mid Horntio, sudden ly withdrawing his arm. " What is the matter?* "Why, look here; 'don't believe this valise is mine." And Horatio drew for a half complet ed lace collar, some erebmidery, a , pair of white cotton hose, and other garments belonging to the female wardrobe. "The thousand pounds are gone r gasped Horatio,: turning pale. " Soldr cried Ws fnend, springing to DEMOCRAT. his feet. "Outwitt&l by the divine angel yon met in the train In the meantime, the train containing the young lady for whom Horatio had ex perienced so violent a fancy, whirled rapidly onward towards the citbot which in less than half an hour itarrived. The "divine angel" gave her valise in charge of a cabman, and seating herself in the vehicle, was driven to the most wealthy portion of the metropolis, and finally drew up before a "stone front," on the silver door plate to which was inscribed the name of "Stewart." Two young ladies rushed out of the ball, and affectionately embraced the young lady. " Oh, Rose Mellington, you can't think how glad we are to see you I" ezebimed one, rapturously. "We almost thought you were not coming," said other. "Did you bring that embroidery work you wrote about asked the drat, whose name was Jenny. " Oh. I hopo you dld!" I'm almost dr ing to see it!" "Well, then, yon must certainly see it," said Miss Mellington. "It's iu the valise and I will go and get it now." The valise was placed upon a chair, and the "divine angel;' producing a key, pro ceeded to open it. "Oh, gracious me?" exclaimed Miss Mellington, as she peered into the valise. " What's the matter ?" asked the two female friends. " Why, this valise is not mine—at least, the content are not. Just look here l" And Miss Rose brought to the surface two mammoth silk pocket-handkerchiefs, and a pair of men s coarse stockings, a necktie, five collars, and two shirts. " Why girls, I don't understand it at all," said Rose "I must have taken some one else's valise—Oh, I know! It belongs to your cousin Horatio." And as the true state of the case burst upon her, Miss Mellington threw herself upon a chair, and laughed long and heartily. "Belongs to cousin Horatio !" echoed Jenny. "Why, Rose, what do yon mean ?" " tour cousin Horatio came into the train, and took a seat by me," said Rose, repressing her mirth. "I knew him in stantly from the description you wrote, and such a duration as we carried on ex ceeds belief. I suppose he took my valise, and I took his. The mistake was natural, for they are just alike, the key to one fitting the other." 'Hui where isHoratio now?" asked Sophy. "I aril sure I don't know," said Rose, laughing again. "He got out at the second station from the city." " Well, we can soon tell if this belongs to Horatio, for if it does, his name will be on some of the clothes," said Sopby, examining the shirt bosom. "Yes, here it is—Horatio Holt. Oh, my !" and the throe girls burst into a chorus of laughter that rang merrily througll the house." " I wonder it ho brought any money along with lilni to put in the bank," said Sophy, as soon as their merriment had sn bsided. " I don't know. I mean to see," said Jenny, jumping up, and plunging her baud into the valise. "Who, here is something. Just look here, girls!" She brought forth a not very large com pact package, and undoing it, found it to contain twenty fifty-pound notes. "A thousand pounds!" exclaimed Jen ny, with eyes wide open. "Why, what a monstrous sum, and how careless be is! Now, girls, if you will only do as I say, we'll have lots of .fun. Did he know who you were, Rose ?" • "I don't think he did. I did not tell him," said Rose, "though he might have guessed." "Well, that is good. Let me put the things back just as we found them, and when he comes, Rose, you must keep out of eight for the first few minutes. He will be here just as soon as be can after discovering his loss." " Why, here he comes now!" exclaimed Sophy, who sat by the window and bad been looking out. A vehicle drew up before the gate as she spoke, and sure enough out got Mr. Horatio Molt, valise in - hand, and run ning furiously up the steps, he rang a violent peal at the front doorbell. " Now, Rose, go into the next room, and take the valise along with you," said Jenny excitedly. "Don t come until we call you. Why, Cousin Horatio , how do you do ?" she added, openin,,, ,, theCloor and extending her hand to Mr. Efolt with ap pearance of great cordiality. "Do!' said Horatio, as he strode ner vously into the hall. "I don't do; I'm done. From this time forth," continued 1 1 Mr. Holt, elevating his arm, "I solemnly promise and affirm that I will have noth ing to do with Christmas holidays—that I will never again look at a pretty girl— that love and affection are great humbugs, and that the world is as selfish as a hog!" "Why, Cousin Horatio, you appear to be excited," said Jenny. "Pray, what is the matter ?" " Matter!" cried Mr. Holt, depositing his valise in the hall. "I've lost a thous and pounds just by taking a fancy to--- I exchanged valises with somebody, that's what's the matter." " Why, cousin, how you do talk!" ex claimed his fair companions. "Is it pos sible? But surely you are not going away r" "Yes, I am," said Horatio, moving towards the door. "rm going tofind the chief of police, and see if I can't get my money back." "Stay, cousin," cried Jenny. "You ought to offer a reward for its recovery." "11l give a hundred pounds," said Mr. Holt with his hand on the door bell. " Witness that, Sophy," said Jenny.— "Como back, Horatio, and sit down: We are good detectives, and see what we can do for you." Accordingly, Mr. Holt, with much won derment, complied, and mechanically came back into the room, • "Now Rose," cried Jenny, "come in. You need not brino' anything with you r "Hr. Holt, Miss" Mellington," said So phy. Bless my soul!" cried Horatio, in as• tonishment, as his Divine angel" of the train stood before him. Oh, dear me?' exclaimed Rose, in Iva counterfeited surprise. VOLUME XXVIII, NUMBER 28. "What is the matter?" asked • Mr. Holes cousins, apparently amazed, and looking from one to the other. " This—this is the lady whom I sup posed took my valise,' said Horatio, aghast. "And this is the gentleman whom I saw in the train," cried Rose. "Here is your baggage, Horatio," said Jenny, bringing out the valise. " See it • your money is safe!" "It is," cncd Mr. Holt, joyously, as he eratnirte4 it. "Hero is your hundred." "No, no! We don't want anything!" exclaimed the two girls, both together.— Give it to Rose!" "Give it to Rose ?" said Horatio, look ing at her thoughtfully.

ADDRESS DP THE DEMOPRATIC STATE CEN TRAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA The Executive Committee of the De mocracy of this State, to whom the fol lowing address was referred by the recent State Convention, now present the same to you as embodying some of the reasons which actuate and control the organiza tion they represent: We here solemnly renew our often re peated declaration of fidelity to the great principles upon which our party has acted from the time of its first organization. Our ultimate objects are those of our fathers when they adopted the Federal Constitution, viz: "To form a More per fect union; to establish justice; to insure domestic tranquility; to promote the gen ! eral welfare; to provide for the common defense; acid secure the blessings of liber ty to ourselves and our posterity." We sincerely believe that the government of the United States, administered, as it was in former days, with a direct view to the advancement of these principles, would do for us and for our children, all that any people can reasonably desire from the political system under which they live. We ate equally sure that, if nut carried out in the spirit of tjipse by whom it was framed, it must become a curse, instead of a blessing. Situated as we are, obedience to the fundamental law, means. not only the honest perforinance of sworn obliga tions, but freedom, peace and prosperity to all classes of the people. On the other hand, the usurpation of interdicted or undelegated power is not only a crime in itself, but the fruitful "parent of other crimes, and will lead, as it has already led, to indefinite misgovernment, corruption, and tyranny, subverting all liberty, and rendering the rights of all men insecure. When we speak of the Federal Consti tution, we mean the whole instrument, I with all its amendment, and acknowledge the equal obligation of every part. Sev eral of those amendments were carried by brute force, and by frauds upon the pub lic will, so glaring as to take from their authors all claims upon our respect. But we cannot deny that they have actually become a part of the Constitution ; nor can we avoid that fact, or get behind it, by showing the corrupt misconduct of the men who at that time controlled Con gress and mastered the State Legislqtures. Whosoever swears to support the Consti tution must perform all that is "Domino- ' ted in the bond." Any change which ex perience and reason shall prove to be de sirable must be made in the prescribed way, and not by revolutionary or disorder ly means. No candid person will deny that. the leading men in power at washing ton have been unfaithful to their duties. They have broken the pledges they made to the peo ple, and, in reckless disregard of their oaths, they have violated the plainest pro visions of theCohstitutioii. They have deprived the States of their sacred right of self-government in matters purely lo cal, and disarmed them of the power to enforce their own laws for the preserva tion of order within their own boundaries: they have passed bills of pains and penal ties operating on millions at once without regard to the guilt of innocence of the parties; they have trampled on all the se curities of life, liberty and property; treated the habeas carpus law with con tempt, and denied the right of trial by jury; they have sent. out swarms of their hireling °pats with instruction to kid nap, imprison and kill free citizens for po litical offences, withoutjud icial accusation, without warrants and without legal trial. They have not only trodden upon the great principle embodied in the original Constitution as it came from the hands of its framers, but even the amendments, which they themselves interpolated, have been broken without remorse whenever it suited their interests. In defiance of the XIIIth, they have doomed many persons to the worst kind of "skivvy or involun tary servitude' in the. public prisons, without the pretence of any "crime where of the party was legally convicted," in the face of the Xlilth;they have abridged the "equal rights" of whole masses; of white citizens; without the least respect for the right of universal suffrage guar :ranteed by the XVIII, they have both for 7 Cibly and frandeutly to prevent fair elec.- lions,,and to set them aside after they were held. These ouhuges upon jruitice, liberty and law have been perpetrated, and, during the conflict of a civil war—not in mo ments of wild passion, or heated excite ment—bat in cold blood, upon d e illym i t o reflection, in a time of profound peace, in fall view of the coneepencee—aud their authors have followed out this iino. of pol icy, step by step, with a persistency which shows their fixed determination for the future as in the past, to be bound by no oath and held by no promise. • The two last and most important of their anti-Constitutional measures shoe more distinctly than others their settled design to strangle the liberties of the na tion, and take perpetual power into their own hands. • The force bill authorizes tlui President, not only to invade' the States at his pleasure, but, •by declaring martial law, to subvert all government, except whet eonsists of his mere will. Under the election law his CM11202 15 planted directly against the freedom of State elections. 'Already the boyonehi of the Executive have gleamed around the polling places of the people in the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Who can mistake the meaning of these preparations fur the next Presidential election ? Who doubts that warning and 'rebuke are needed now to prevent the administrati_ moor rarrynly, -- aums purpose - by -lor If the warning be not given by the peo ple, or Lid of, its proper effect, can wo hope for peace ? It seems to ns an error to suppose the American people tame enough to be kicked under the yoke of a &Tedium, or ignorant enough to be juggled out of the g reat inheritance of free govenuncat which their fathers left them. We complain of onr present rulers for lawless usurpation of power. Power not delegated is always abused. In this, as in other cases, usurpation has been accompa nied and followed by corruption., Frauds without number, and almost without lim it, have been committed on the public. Men of the worst character for common honesty .are permitted to occupy the highest places. Of the money collected from the people, and. not stolen before it reaches the Treasury, a large portion it squandered by Congress on party favor ites, on corrupt rings and on base combi nations of public plunderings... The enormous extent to which this financial corruption has been carried will becalme manifest to any one who coniparesthe ex penditures of thegesernment the Bil years which preceded and. the six. years which followed the civil war. Both were periods of peace ' and there cam be no ex cuse for more than a small increase Cor responding to the ratio in which the pop ulation has advanced. But where the ordinary expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 1, 1870, exelusive. of Indian annuities, pensions and interest on the public debt, where 8148,669,922.43; for the year ending June I,IBGO, the expend items fur the seme purposes were. but *5.5,918,188. 'Z2. Here is shown tho dif ference between the ordinary eost of car rying on our government when its agents are honest and the cost of the same thing when its officers are so destitute of moral principle as to disregard all legal llmita- Lions upon their own authority. A free, unpreven ted representative government is simple- in its machinery, easily maintain ed, and "dispensed its blessings like the dews of Heaven, unseen and unfelt, VIVO in the beauty and freshness they contrib ute to produce ;" the secure tranquility of a regal establishment,. may sometimes be a compensation for the burdens it imp poses; but a rotten. republic- is at once the most costly, the most oppressive, and the most unsteady of all political elvsZ .ture.4. To support the extravagant corruptions of an administration like the present, and at the same time pay the pensions and the interest on the debt, would require heavy taxation at best. •But the party in power has contrived to make the taxes doubly burdensome by their mode-of levy ing anti collecting them. Great gangs of unnecessary officers are supported - and fattened out of them: They are in many I cases imposed, not with any view to the supply of the rinhlle• Treasoty,buteddir tq operate as bounties for the• benefitzef individuals and ' private corporations. While the month of labor is thus robbed o f the bread it earns, the fortunes of mo nopolists and ringmasters are hideously swelled, and their rapacity inflamed for still further aggression upon the rights of the industrious masses. The necessity of revenue reform is admitted on all ham* and by none more freely than by cam:Rd supporters of the so-ealled Republican party in Congress, but the, majority is so completely controlled by private interests that considerations of pnblic duty have no influence upon them. No people can be wholly enslaved so long as they have the protection of an in dependent and upright Judiciary. The Radical party, feeling this, have tried tty all means, fair and foul, to make the Fed eral Judiciary an instrument to aid theta in their crusade against the law of the land. They have tilled the inferior Ceurts, especially in the South, with their most r-1-- ..itc24,-LAfleknalan.- they have constructed au recoils acted the Supreme Court—sometimes reducing, and sometimes by increasing the number of judges, always with a VIM to make a majority which could be relied on to en dorse their anti-Constitutional legislations. When the judgments of that - tribunal aginstsnstained the ancient principles t ef liberty and justice, its authority= flounced, disobeyed, and cont They have interposed in a pending eato with legislative decrees to take away the jurisdiction of the Court, and prevent it from protecting a citizen whose plainejit right they desll jo invade. We solemn ly trust that thiyhave not yet succeeded, and will never , succeed in bending the court of last resort to their foul purpoSe. Their so-called reconstruction laws are • a series of experiments for the rand*" of the Southern States to the lowest Con.. dition of political slavery, hoping therehy to make them instruments for the en slavement of every other section. To this end, they have not only refused ihemi, a representation in Congress, but for them to be misrepresented by Imsons who came there to get oppressive laws-enacted against them They have steadily struggled to make the State governments the, tools of- theittartisan tyranny.
