wealth. I tali.: the cast: of Colonel Mc-
Clure, at lad session of the Legislature,
in which it hieame necessary, wnder the.
testimony, as a pure question .of .lani
to reject returns from ten election , -divis
ions of that city, as false and fraudulent.
A word with reference to this. It has
becu alleged, I suppose, by men that did
not read the report of the Committee, that
the deision made last winter was contrary
to one made the previous winter, in an
other election case from Philadelphia—the
case of Senator Dechert. This is au
en
_tiro mistake. In the case of Senator De
chert, it was decided that the misconduct
of-election officers, either in receiving
bad votes, or otherwise, should not nec
essarily deprive the-people of any flivis
ion of their votes; that the votes, -good
and bad, in an electaou division, where
there was simply some irregularity or
misconduct of the election officers, ought
not to-he swept away at a breath, as hail•
been done by Election Committees at
Harrisburg and Washington, and by
toads in Philadelphia.
Last winter, in the case of McClure
against Gray, we said the same thing pre
cisely, and the former report was quoted.
Althoughs as I have alreads stated, the'
legal proof of fraud in ten election divis
ions of that city were such that we set
tside the returns, yet the sitting member,
Colonel Gray, was permitted to call wit
hews- to prove what his vote was in those
divisions, and the Committee sat day after
day, iu some cases late at night, hearing
testimony to that effect. Eight hundred
witnesses were examined to enable him to
prove what his vote was in those divisions.
We did the very thing thatat the inert
ems session the Committee in the Dechert
case add ought to be done. When there
is no valid Mum from the district von
ought to permit the •People of that dis
trict to prove how they did vote, or can
didate to prove what'his vote was. or to
substitute for the false and fraudulent
return which cannot be believed, and
must, therefore, be rejected, the real count,
and thus put the vote in the election re
turn. We did this in the case of McClure,
and examined eight hundred witnesses of
' Col. Gray, in addition to nearly one thou
sand on the other side, for the purl-ose of
accomplishing it.
We need to put the Sinking Fund or
the State into bands that can be trusted
by the people. We need that a secretary
of the Commonwealth shall he selected,
who is competent and intelligent for ,tie
duties which a commissionership recrire,
am Auditor-General who will be faithful
and true to the duties put upon him by
the law, and a State Treasurer also—as
soon as the people ran reach the selection'
of that office—who will unite with his
colleagues in seeing to it that those enor
mous balances in the Treasurer, extend
ing from $1,000,000 up to $3,000,000, and
which did average- $2,000,000 fur many
years, shall be applied upon the public
debt to save interest, instead of lying
dead as far as the State is concerned,
while as everybody believes upon creditable
information, they are made sources of
private profit and of private advantage.

Speech of non. Charles B. Bucka-
We desire to call the attention of our,
readers to the able and eloquent speech of
Mr. Buckalew, on our first page, deliiered
at Lancaster. In this speech Mr. B. re
futes the many lies and caludinies which
have been . circulated against him, and ad
ministers a scathing„though just rebuke
to Mr. Errett, Chairman of the Repuldi•
can State Central Committee, for further
ing and circulating the slanders, that
have been invented to injure him. Every
honest and fair minded man desirous of
being well informed in regard to the char
acters of the men and the issues of the
Campaign, should not fail to read this
speech of Mr. Buckalew, and in all prob
.': ability it is the last as well as the first
time that he will deign to notice either
his slanderers or the slanders need against
him. He has too heavy a contract on
hand, to waste his time in correcting the
false statements of his enemies. He is
after Boss Cameron and the Harrisburg
thieves and intends to root them horse,
foot and dragoon, as did O'Conner and
Tilden,'-Boss Tweed and the Tammany
thieves in New York.
Ur - Those excelnat people who im
agine that Mr. Greeley is a benevolent
old idiot who cannot tell a knave from
an honest man, and does not know the
difference between a beef steak and a
hand of tobacco, ani who is the confiding
tool and delighted dupe of whatever
schemer may chance to get his ear, have
a sufficient answer in Mr. Greeley him
self.' lie begun life a poor boy, without
education, family, friends, or even the
graces of manner and the insinUating, re
finements of personal appearance and ad
dress to aid him. And yet:this poor, un
educated, uncouth boy has worked his
way to - the very highest .position in• the
mast arduous of professions, and for
twenty-five years hasfi wielded a greater
influence than any other man in Ameri
ca. With a borrowed capital of a thous
and dollars he started, a paper which has
become•the leading journal of this con
tinent. - And he has secured the respect,
the confidence, the love of the people of
all parties by his' triumphant-honesty,his
unfailing kindness, his unswerving pur
pose to be anedo right, and to-day has
"beensidopted by them, bi spite Of political
managers and puffy precedents, as their
' candidate for the highest office in their
gift. _lf. 31r. Greeley is a fool, be is one
of nvery rare and noble species, and one
which the Anierima people arc evidently
prond of and would like to hive multi..

Irishmen, Bend.
The Dublin Irishmen, the leading news
paper of . lreland, hails the nomination of
Horace Greeley in the •following words :
The selection does great cedit to the
party which liaipreferred him .to Grant,
and will be .found generally Acceptable,
we hope, by the whole mass of our coun
trymen, who have left the Emerald Isle
and sought refuge in the free United
States. Horace Greeley ;deserved well of
Ireland, He stool by her cause, the cause
of justice, in the darkest hour, when an
artificial famine ravaged the:land, and
freedom was driven from out shores.
From that chivalrous fidelity we hare nev
er found hint to mem.
Conscious of the wrongs of our country,
he desired their redress, knowing the in
finite good of freedom, its spirit of bene
ficence his
.own; with sympathies not
limited by boundaries of States, he ear
neatly sought to extend to other lauds
and other people the advantage of that
liberty in which his own rejoiced. We
regard him as the thie of a tine American.
As a liberal republican he is modeled after
the old style; of Washington's Council
he . would have been, bad he lived in those
glorious and single-hearted times. By
his upright and manly conduct he re
vives in the present the best memories of
the past Opposition, he will undoubted
ly have to encounter, but we trust, never
from an Irish source."
Not the work of Politicians.
The flora Willard Warrior, at Newark, Ohio, August 10.
"lldw ran we best cure the wounds
caused by the civil war, and make this
peopleloue in heart and sentiment, and
love for their common country?" In the
providence of Almighty God that oppor
tunity is now—in my judgment—pre
sented to the American people. I say in
the providence of God. becatise no man
could have foretold what has come to pass.
If the most astute politicians in the
country bad said•one year ago that such
a condition of things should exist to day,
if he had said that the great Democratic
party, representing nearly one-half the
people of this country; and that the
people of the South who had fought
against us for four years ; that the old
slave masters of the South would. come
forward to-day with a uninamity that, is
almost absolute, and state to the country
and to the world that they were willing
iu good faith to accept all these • results,
including the equality of all men before
the 13w, and as a guarantee of their good
faith, they were willing to vote for Horace
Greeley [apiilanse,] that man would have
been thought a fit subject fur a lunatic
asylum. And yet it has come, and is here
before us. And it is not the work of
politicians; it is not the work of politi
cal manipulators ; it is the work of Al
mighty God in the hearts of this great
people.
Only the" Scum.”
Hon. W. W. Ketchum. in his haranan..
to the radical office holders' meeting in
the court house at Washington, Penn. on
the IGth inst., declared that the liberal
republicans were but the "scraps and scum
of the republican party." Here is a sam

This is the kind of "Scum" that is ta

milk terrible thin and very blue.
Ml — They are getting desperate, the
Grant people. The Republican Executive
Committee at Washington, dispairing of
success, have conceivd the brilliant idea
of "organizing Women's Grant and Wil
son Clubs." They have issued a confi
dential circular to such of the women as
they thought could be trusted with such
a high state secret, appealinz to them to
organize such clubs to work for the eke
tion .of Grant and Wilson in every city
and town. They bait the hook with a
big green fly in this way by helping to
elect Grant, "they will, prove to the world
and to themselves the capacity of women
for political work, without interfering in
any way with what is termed-her legit
imate duty of wife and mother, as well
as cultivatiug a taste for pr,blie affairs."
This is decidedly rich. It is adriot too,
that "confidential," women being prover
bially feud of having nice little secrets
Whispered into her ear. "Do please con
sent to be a bob for our kite, else it will
tumble into the mud, and mind that you
don't tell anybody?' It is really pathetic,
isn't it! Dow can the women resist such
a touching appeal, particularly as they
will thereby dereoustrate their capacity
for political affairs. "Oh dear ladies, do
pray rush to the rescue, and save 'the
dying cause, but be careful that you don't
tell anybody. Maybe we will letyou vote
a thofisand years hence or so." -

who think it would hardly 'prove : their

Country before Party.
Colonel H. B. Wilson. at Souls City. A1321:111. &
The Republicans and Democrats who
vtitte for Horace Greeley, are no renegades
or traitors to party 7 --but patriots, who
regard country higher than •party. It is
true that they have "cast party to the
doge," but it is because party fails to rep
resent their honest views. Let it be then
understood that we have entered upon a
new and higher plane in politics; i and
that ho who rites with his party,. simply
because it is the . party with which be has
been identified for years, and regardless
of principle or propriety, is worse than a
turncoat and renegade, he is a slave,
and fit only to wear the collar of a mas
ter.
General A. L. Bumfort.
General Rumfort, of Harrisburg, long
and honorably known as a leader in the
Demoendic party, says in a published let
ter:
The first step on the part of the Balti
more Convention was to choose, as their
'residential candidate, a man of unques
tioned honesty and talents, combining
the elements of great popularity among
the masses. These qualifications the Con
vention found in the noiniuee of the Cin
cinnati Convention,who had been brought
before the people by many of the most
influential and reputable of the Itepubli
can leaders, who could no longer breathe j
the corrupt atmosphere of their own i
I party. The peculiar circumstances by I
which the Baltimoro Convention' was
surrounded, the urgency of the occasion,
and the subsequent decisive element of
popular sentiment, have fully justified the
wisdom of their choice, however we may
have been duisatisfied w:t'i it at the time
it was made. Whatever may have been
our differences with Mr. Greeley as regards
policy or political principles, I, for one,
never questioned his honesty or the gen
erosity of his character. His bold and
unequivocal advocacy of the constitution
al right of selfgovernment in the states,
is indeed the cornerstone of our
liberties, and his unhesitating adoption
of the Cincinnati platform, which in
every respect, as far as it goes, is purely
Democratic should place him in our esti
mation infinitely above General Grant,
who in s:tend '..`;`orthero States, and all
over the hits never lost au occa
sion to tnimple in the (hot the righti of the
States tualec the inai heel of his soldi

Know-Nothing Wason.
ll,nry Wilson, nombated for Vice-
President on the Grant ticket, took the
following oath in nlinow-Nothing Lodge,
in 'Massachusetts, in 18:34, which is just
as bluding upon him to-day as ;it was
then. and any violation of it is tin act of
perjury on his part. ..If he should be
elected to the Vice-Prestlerey, in :taking
the vr.th of office he must be guily of
purjnry either in the one cane or the
other. It reats. as follows :
" In the presence of the trte , and ever
living
God, and on these sacred Script tires,
Holy Won!, I do declare that I will
truly fulfill all my obligations toward my
brethren of the Order of Know-Nothings,
and that I will keep stored ng the signs,

and proceedings of said Ord r. * *
And I further declare and totem aly swear
that I will not knowingly vote for, r.p
poin I, or elect any person of foreign birth,
.w a Homan Catholic, to any office , in the
local or general atlininistration of the
American government; and 1 further
declare and swear that I will use all the
means in my power to count, ract and de
stroy the influence of foreigners and Ro
man Catholics in the administration of
the government of the United States,and
in any and all parts thereof, both local.
and general. To all this,a free and voluntary
obligation on my part,without reservation,
I pray that I may ever be able to remain
true aud steadfast, so help toe (iotL"
In order to make the obligation more
comprehensive, the President of the Lodge
saldressed the newly introduced member
it the falling word:
"As member of this patriotic Lodge it
will become your duty to disregard all
personal interests and predilections in the
service of your country, in order that the
corrupt and evil influence of foreigners
may be effectually combatted and destroy
ed, and here it will be understood i sons of
foreigners and of Homan Catholics are
included."
Why h It t
Why is it that N. Carolina, n'hich gate
a Republican majority of eighteen thou
sand m the State election of ISO, yields
only a scanty and doubtful thonsand or
so to the Gubernatorial candidate of the
same party in 1672, and gives to the
Democrats the State Legislature, a Unit
ed States Senator and an increased num
ber of Congressmen ? Why is it that the
State of Maine, with its unshaken Re
publican majority ever since the Republi
can organization had an existence, is re
garded as debtable ground, and calls for
giant efforts to keep it In the Republican
line? If, as we are assured, the Liberal lea
ders have no followity , in the ranks of
their old party, and the Democracy is
demoralized and Scattered, whence comes
this opposition dement which shakes the
foundation of the powerful Republican
column and threatens to topple It over
and cast it into the dust ? How is it that
after being Strengthened by the possession
of power during four years. of peace and
prosperity, the organization that; elected
President Grant so triumphantly is now
compelled to put forth almost suporlinni
an efforts to save 'tint from defeat!even in
sterling Republican States?
`rile explanation, can only be fdund in
the unpopular policy of the party which

'Keeping Alive War Issues:
:Under this heading the Pittsburg
Chronicle has a most commendable article;
and one that appeals direct to every
patriotic heart in the land. Ta'lk like
the following is, indeed, well calculated
to bring about a speedy and lasting peace
The ablest speech we have beard on
the Liberal side in this county was de
livered last night in Allegheny, by Prof.
Leo Miller, of New York. Ile usged
that the Republican • party was an ag
gressive party, its mission haring been to
destroy slavery, that its spirit was still
belligerent, and that it could not act as
mediator and peacemaker between the
sections. Ile referred to the military
picture of Gen. Grant on horseback,
which was displayed at Philadelphia, and
more particularly to the • hostile tone of
the administration orators. The advo
cates of Mr. Greeley arc making capital
out of the course adopted by several of
the Grant speakers. It could not be
otherwise. When men from the party
platform, declare to large assemblages
that the South is as rebellious as ever, that
it still cherishes the hope that the Lost
Cause may be revived, that it expects,
with Democratic and Liberal Republican
aid, to overthrow the recent amendments
to the constitution, and that in the event
of. Mr. Greeley's triumph,, it will demand '
compensation for the slaves freed by the
war, people are led to impure whether, if
this be the condition of things. an ad
ministration can be pronounced succesSTel
which has so utterly failed to bring about
peace and reconciliation. They also take
note of the bitterly hostile tone of the
speakers and put the question seriously
to themselves, whether gennine amity
will ever be brought about under such
auspices. If at the expiration of seven
years these war notes are still to be sound
ed, and the passions of men still to be
inflamed, why not in 177(, in ISSN, and
so on until another civil war is yireeipi tat
ed neon the county? • * *
•
Why introduce again the old bitter re
vengelhl issues, the old war to the knife
spirit ? No people conquered, crushed
and humiliated as the Southern people
have been, have behaved better than they
- have behaved. They have atoned for
'their great offense. In the name of all
that is magnanimous and decent do not
unleash the dogs of war at every election
which we hold. It is foolish. It is un
generous. It is unjust. It is dangerous.

Not A Bolter:-
The f.llowing is an admirable letter from
Congressman J. Lawrence Getz, to the
Pittsburg Post :
I thank you for calling my attention to
the letter of your Myerstown correspond
ent of this date, in which reference is
made to "rumors circulated through the
country that some of the prominent Dem•
ocrats of our State are opposing Horace
Greeley and giving their influence to
ward the Louisville Convention," and
inquiring of you if it be true, as lie has
several times been told by the opposite
party "that Hon. J. Lawrence Getz has
expressed himself in public that he could
not swallow greenly,' &e. How many
"prominent Democrats" intend to join
the Bolters Convention nt Louisville I
cannot say. As yet I have heard the
names of none. As for myself.l thought
my position had been already defined
with sufficient dearness to enable every
one who takes any interest hi my public
course to Know precisely caber• I stand Loi
the pending canvas. Although it in
known that at Baltimore, acting in obetli-
coca to the instructions of my conitait ,
eats, I voted fur a straight-out Demo
cratic candidate, I suppose it was equally
well known that after Ilorace Greeley re z
aired 686 of the 733 votes that were cast
in that Convention, my colleague and. I,
yielding to a sentiment of a majority so
overwhelming, unhesitatingly seconded
the motion of the Chairman of our dele
gation, to make the nomination unani
mous. I "swallowed Greeley" (a the
phrase goes); have advocated his election
since then, and shall support him to the
end with all the influence I may possess,
for these reasons which to me are over,
ruling.
First—Because he was the unanimous
nominee of a regularly constituted Demo
cratic Convention, held and conducted in
every particular in strict accordance with
invariable Democratic usage.
Second—Because the platform to which
he has given his adhesion has been adop
ted with rare unanimity' by the national
Democracy as a sound declaration of po
liticalfaith.
Because I believe him to he honest and
capable and that, if elected, ho will ad
minister the Federal Government under
the Constitution, in strict conformity to
the will of the people, and with a consci
entious regard for the obligations of his
official oath.
If the Democratic party had made no
nomination, and left me free to vote for
whom I pleased, I would still, as between
Grantism and Liberal Republicanism,
choose the latter, and give my support to
ita representative Man, Horace Greeley ;
because I believe that it is only through
his election that the pressing needs of the
time can be seenre4 to wit:

speech by General N. P. Banks
HEARTY ENDOSELIENT OP OREELEY AND
THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT.
LYNN, Mass., Ane. 27, 1872.
At a crowded Greeley and Brown meet-
ing to-night, Gen. Banks made his first
speech of the campaign. He said he had
not intended to enter the political field in
Massachusetts in this canvass. When he
declared fur Greeley, his purpose was to
sever his connection with the • political
organization of the Commonwealth, but
he had consented to make ithrief address
at this flag raising, which had 'grown to'
the proportions of a ratification meeting.:
Ile continued :
• I
This year brings to ns an Unparallel
ed spectacle of friends and enemies;•the
supporters-and opponents of the i great
iiaties of the late terrible war, to . gethei
as one party and one man to sitstam the
grand result of the war. So far a.tl these
parties 'and issnts concerned; there
"are no Detnoerats and no more Repnbli
.
cans [Applaiise.] They are Ainerican
citizens •Lapplause,l patriotic men [ap
plause.] who, having engaged in a.dread
ful struggle with different views, now ac
cepting the result readily and joyfully ;
who, seeing that the settlement of these
issues is necessary to the peace of the
country, sacrifice their prejudice, and as
one party and as one man, stand before
the country in support of the great •prin
ciples in which the government was es
tablislad, and in this view I welcome all
those that were Democrats, as I welcome
those who were Republicans, in this
necessary joint union for the support of
the principles that were established by
the sacrifice of the, lives of the best men
the world has known or ever seen..
The reason I do this is that I know per
fectly well that these principles, the equa
ity of all. men, the enfranchisement of
all men, can never be attained by the
success of any. one "arty, as in the na
ture of things it is impossible that these
great principles shall stand as the princi
, pies of the American people without the
acquiesence, assent and support of all
men of all parties.
We are asked, to whom is the power to .
be given in' th is movement? .The pestion
proceeds from a very narrow view of
political affairs. It regards that power
that results from a cauvms of the peo
ple as being given tita :party or
set of men, and it is very naturally asked,
to what men or to what leaders is the
power to be given that may result front
this movement? We have uo difficulty
iu answering that question. It is to he
given to the people of this country, and
if you come down to the very marrow of
it, the sole distinguishing diillrence be
twpn the administration and the party
in opposition, it is that the adinin 4 straticin
contends for the perpetuation of power
in this country in the hands of the faction
who are more orless, for :their personal
beuellt, the opposition for the preservation
of that power in the hands of the peo
ple. So I say to you in the outset, that
to the tight for the power of the people
I we am against all factions, whether rebels
in the Staub or Itadicals in the North,
who evek raerilj and solely to get Wai
-1 cal power into.their hands fortheir own
beoctit. It is said that it is very possible
that if you get into power there may he
same minority or faction - to take this
power away from you, and the minority
ur faction that is supposed to aim fOr
power are those mat otjto were engaged
in the rebellion during the late war. We
have no apprehension of any such result.
In the first place, we give them their
rights. Forgetting, the bitterness of the
party, we stand with them in the sup
port, of equal rights for all, and- in the
! interest of all classes, but whets one faction
North or South asks for monopoly of
political power fur their own - benefit, we
reject them just as we reject. the claims . of
the present Adiltinistration when they
ask perpetuation in power for the same
reason.
But you will not expect me to speak
abusively of thoso men whom we have
ermiquen..d, We have no cause to press
fallen men that have been engaged in
rebellion further than is necessary for the
safety of the country.. At best they are
but a fiction. They area small minority,
without wealth, position, influence, with
out success even in- the' -cause and priii
elides they have been supporting, and it
is impossible to suppose with any reason
or seine that these men are going to take
the power out of the hands of forty
millions of people and appropriate it: to
themselves, reopen old issues and re
establish principles that have been settled
forever. Mr. Banks did not wish to! be
understood to -nnderate these men be
cause they, were minority. Theold anti
slavery party was once a minority, and
the present liberal movement had 'grown
from a. minority.. Minorities with just
principles and great objects .were bound
to conquer, but it was not possible that a
minority could rise and attempt to :re
store slavery or destroy all the war had
gained. Even with the„assistance of. Mr.
Greeley, should ho prove false to alt the
professions of his life, sneh a movement
wentil encounter four-fifths of the Senate
of the United States, fourth-fifths of :the
Representatiies; the organized govern
ment of every State in the, Union, the
power of the public press, and thitlnnited
people North, South, East . and West r4s
mg up. to'ilestrof such a 'treasonable and
infamous proposition. While, we .had to
reason to fear the enmity of the Southern,
people, we needed the restoration of 'their
friendship. The great principles eshib 7
fished by the war and . , embodied in gni,
Constitution Can never .be considered
finally established until their opPotients_
shall give them , their consent and.. I re
cognition. -There comes a qneef r ion

.The speech was frequently interrupted
by applause, and, as Mr. I)anks took hip
seat, he was loadly'clieered.
