WATCH THE POLLS
No citizen may honestly vote at the Pri
_
many meet ings to-dayvilio does not intend
to support Gnu , Co mix and the city
nominees. If any man among our political
' opponents shall= vote to-day on such a
pledge, and shall afte rwards boast of his
smart trick upon the Republican; and that
he intends to supimit the Democratic non&
nations, mark him for an tmprin eipled
low, who would cheat, and lie r and defraud,
in other matters besides politics. There is
"no disOunt upon that, reader; dependepon
it that a man who will make sport of a false
hood or a broken pledge, because it concerns
politics, has not in him that underlying
sentiment of manly honor .which would
keep him from cheating you in business,
on the first opportunity. No honorable
Democrat will do that, or any other thing
discreditable to his character as , a gentle
man: But all citizens, no matter how long
they have been Democrats - heretofore, who
can honestly say to their friends that they
mean 'to vote for GILART this year, are wel
ccinie at these Primary polls. Thee more of
them, the better, and there will be a good
many of them any how.
IT rs Tim -more pleasant to say a kind
thing of our political opponents, since we so
rarely have the opportunity. Let us cordi
ally commend, therefore, the consistent
uniformity which marks their policy toward
Republican renegades. Of course, they
improve all such political treacheries to the
utmost, but they never trust the traitor if
they can help it. The latest evidence of
this comes from Ohio, where Humumu, the
Delaware skedaddler from the Union ranks,
was again defeated as a candidate : for the
Democratic =ordination in the Vllith Con
gresisional district. The Convention had no
use for him, in that way. In the same con
nection, we perceive very decided indica
tions that the Democracy of Alleghenyconn
ty propoie to purge their miscegenation tick
et of its en-Know-Nothing, renegade Re
publican element. Impoted upon them by
a clique of city politicians, they will mark
their sense of the antra& at the polls.
Irma - o.w, the notorioas Indiana Cop;

"either Confederate officers or soldiers, or

now constitute one of the legitimate en.

VOTE TO-DAY
Every voter in this city, who will sup
port Grant and Colfax, and the Republican
city nominees, is particularly invited and
urged to attend the primary polls this after
noon, and indicate his preferences fora
municipal ticket. The candidates who
secure a favorable expression from the great
est- number of voters will thereby become
the selected regular 'ticket of the party, to
be supported by all Republican electors.
Therefore, let every friend 44

IRE PRESIDENTS' NEW COUN.
SELLOR.
The rebel Democracy are most unpleas
antly gravelled, by the suspected acquies
cence of the President in the orders trans
mitted Sciuth by Secretary Schofield, rela
tive to the employment of the Federal force
in maintaining the reconstructed govern
ment& Their intimate friends of 'the
wllsky.ring are also sorely' grieved by, the
wise •and commendable disposition made of
the - Revenue Bureau imbroglio, under the
opinion of. Attorney General EVARTS In
short; these-restless and dengerous factions
have, become seriously apprehensive that
Mr. Johnson is about to turn his back
upon his own three years' policy
of opposition to. Congress, and to surrender
himself gracefully and cordially to the great
loyal party of , the people. As itis, howev
er, a favorite piece of tactics with these fel—
lows to affect it confidence which they
-do not really feel, and as they have of
ten, heretofore,' succeeded in leading the
President by appeals to his prejudices and to
his combativeness, they are now actively at
work, attacking the new Attorney General
and repeating all the old partizan and rebel
objections to Reconstruction. With the
: : ~ e view,they are industriously telegraph
ing to all quarters of the country
that Mr. Jointhorr surrenders none of
Ida 2 former - *opinions; and that the
, .
Congressional policy is as obnoxioin
as ever- to - his views under the Om
stituticirt. As, however, we, learn that
helms just instructed Mr. EvARTS to prepare
an opinion 'on the status of the new govern,
ments in the light of the Constitution, with
a view tb a final decision as to his own duty
upon the great questions of reconstruction
and- restoration; and as the whole world
knows already the sentiments of Mr.
EVART'S upon those kindred questions, it is
very fair to infer that, in a short time, the
disconiforts andpprehensions which now
spin!: Democrtit c sleep o' nights will
be . aggravated not ()lip past endur
tuice,,, but , pis cure. When AnrnnEw
Jonsson has learned so much of prac
tical '''wisdbm, self-control and ;practical
statesmanship as to take good advice before
:action Insof acting, as in years past,
teed/
-before 'taking any advice whatever, and
:whin, he :'refers no grive a questbin to his
present Attorney Ge:neral, the country may
safely conchide that the opponents to a
`poi* of peace, and order, and law, are in
a - good way •to get a better legal opinion
than they will have the stomach for. '
LET US SAVE -A GOOD TICKET!
The, way to do it, is for every friend of
Gnstrr and CoLvex to go to the Primaries
this afternoon, and help make one. The
polls open at 3P. as. and remain open until
7 o'clock. Let all those who can, go early,
so as to make room for the masses of citi
zens whose business or employments shall
keep them away until 6 o'clock. And let
;every employer, who is sincerely a friend
Of GRANT and the goOd cause, either dis
miss his workmen. half an hour earlier, or
give them an half hour, earlier in the after
noon. A considerate Republican employer
would watch the polls in his district, and at
which the bulk of his Republican friends
and employees would vote, and, when he
saw the polling a little slack, seize that
moment to send them in. Thus the aver
age loss of time would be bat a few mo
ments. Let us have every vote recorded
today, and the selected ticket cannot fail to
be satisfactory.
Am indication of great political import
ance appears at Baltimore. A large number
of Conservatives who, since the Closing of
the war.have acted with the Democracy,
are now decided to vote for GRANT. At a
meeting held on the 12th, it was determined
to publish an address to the Conservative
Union men of the country, urging them to
vote for Grimm and 60L/FAX. Those com
posing the meeting were mainly men who
were the first to follow the lead of 13warrs,
and were his of assistants in breaking
down the Registry law of Maryland. -Ne
gro suffrage has lost its terrors for them,
and they are ready to come back to the fold
of Republicanism. The names of gentle
men present at, the meeting included a score
or more of prominent local politicians, and
their action indicates very'elearly the set of
the popular current everywhere.
SHALL PITTSBURGH HAVE A GOOD
31 YOR I
Let every ftiendlif GRANT and COMM
who would say yes to that question, make
it his bueiness to do.hla part in securing the
right nomination. Remember, friends, that
the man you nominate to=day will be elect
ted. Can't you spare a half hour to secure
a forttuutte and creditable result?
PITTSBUR€II GAZETTE : SATURDAY. AUGUST 15, 1868.
triA:IjFAVE PEACE:,
These are the closing words of General
GRAwee- letter'of acceptance of his nomi
nation as candidate for Presidency by the
unanimous voice of the Republicans of ev
ery State, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and from the takes to the • Gulf, and, under
the circumstances, no grander words were
ever uttered since the God-man commanded
peace amid the (tempest on the Gallilean Sea.
In these words GRANT , gave a motto to
the Republican party, and one that must
find a •response in the heart of every good
man, no matter what he may call himseif
politically. It is an aspiration which would
go up with acceptance to the-Eternal Throne,
and is one fit to - :be breathed on bend
ed knees at the fireside or in the closet into
the ears of Him who alone "maketh us to
dwell in safety." No country ever needed
the blessings of peace more than ours; and
none ever yearned,more for it than the
great body of our people, hardly a family of
whom did not loss a father, son or friend.
And from -hom could such a sentiment as
this come w th more sublime propriety than
1
from the no le hero who led the citizen sol
diers who crushed out ,that cursed rebellion
and gave us peace. A'si,
Now lodk at the other side. "There is
but one way," says FnAicic Burn, in his
letter published just before the meeting of
the New York - Convention, and which
caused the rebel-democracy to nominate him
for the second office almost by acclamation
, .
—"There is but one way to restore the 1
.
Government and the - Constitution, and that
is for the President elect to declare these
acts null and void; compel the army to undo
its usurpation at -the South; disperte the
carpet-gig State . governments; :allow the
white people to reorganize their own gov
eiriments, and elect Senators and Repre
sentatives."
Now reduce all . this to four words, as
GRANT did, and must they be?
"LET US HAVE WARP'
•So the question is narrowed to a point,
and May be put thus: All- who are in favor
of peace will signify it by casting their suf
frages to GRANT and COLFAX; and all who
desire another rebellion and civil war—an : .
°tier awful period of carnage, a vast expen-
Mire of treasure, a reign of anarchy,.con
fusion and terror, a complete disruption of
the national unity, and the sway of a mili
tary dictator with no check upon his ac
tions but his own arbitrary will—will signify
their choice by voting for SEYMOUR and
BLAan. The issue is simply Peace or-War.
:NO LOG-ROLLING TO-DAt
If there is to be any log-rolling or trickery
at the primary meetings this afternoon, the
people will have themselves to blame for it.
They cannot place the censure upon un
faithful delegates.- The people hold the af
fair entirely in their own hands, and can do
with, it just what they please. Thus, they
are tolerably sure to be pleased with the
'rein% Let the honest voter, who has
heard something 'about' log-rolling and po
litical dickering in the matter of nomina
tions, and who may be anxious 'to see for'
himself whailt means, go to his polls this
afte'rnoon and look sharp for any work of
that sort. If he finds any, it will probably
be something that he has himself a hand in.
Who then can he blame ?
ALTIIOUGH the English at Liverpool
cheered JEFFERSON DAMS upon his arrival
at that port, it seems that the same people
abuse HORATIO 5ET2101712. This, at first
sight, appears to be, somewhat inconsistent,
the one being the prince of rebels, the other
the candidate. of the rebels. But that has
nothing to do with the matter. They see in
Davr9 kbold rebel, a character which peo
ple of fOreign nations almost instinctively
admire; but human nature, prompted by a
still stronger instinct; arrays itself in hos
tility against anything that bears the term of
of the serpent, and. which stings the bosom
that shelters and warms it. The term "cop
perhead," so largely used in our, political
discussions and harangues, is, in American
vernacular, the equivalent for vip;r, as that
term is used, In a metaphorical sense, in
sacred writ and classical literature. It was
no coarse, blind love of an opprobious epi
thet which caused that word to stick as it
did ; but its exact fitness, as a metaphor, to
express the character of those to whom it
was applied—traitors who dared not to rise
to the,dignity of rebels and open enemies;
but who, from their lurking places, stung
the nation's heel while, engaged in deadly
conflict. The people on the other side of
the Atlantic know something of ths , several
parts played by GRANT, DAVIS and SET
mounln the war of the Great Rebellion; and
although many of them ii = y have'wished to
see the success of the - re • in and the dis
mikmbership of this Union ; yet they know
how to honor the national hero who crushed
the tremendous uprising and preserved the
integrity of his country.
VERY large meetings were held by the
Republicans of Chicago and of Cincinnati,
on Wednesday Evenin g last, and their city
journals overflow with glowing reports of
the proceedings of the enihusiastic multi
tudes. The annexed editorial paragraphs
will afford to our readers spme idea of the
feeling which animates their friends, as well
throughout the land as in the cities specially
referred to:
The demonstration of Republican enthusiasm last
night exceeds the limits of - description. We do not
pretend to portray it, because delineation would be
supereregation. The ,Immense crowd present nut
only indicated the popularity of Grant and Colfax
in this locality, but - foreshadowed -the conviction
which is abroad In every part of the country. We
must conclude that Illinois, the adopted home of
Grant, will vote' /or the Republican ticket by ma
jority

most- and confident of Democrats. If
the long procession Is to be accepted as an exempll
-11cation of the strength of Grant and Colfax In !Ili
eago, It may be taken for granted that Seymour and
Blair have no more chance of success than Lee had
of winning at Appomattox Court Bouse.--Olateage
Rfpublican.
The pleasant delusion that there is no enthusiasm
for Grant and Colfax in these parts will hardly be
cherished after the demonstration of last evening.
The torch 4ight procession was the large , t attd finest
that has been seen here since 1860; and the crowd in'
the Sixth street market spare was enormous. " Per
the drat demonstration of the campaign it exceeded

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The question ofre•union among the Pres
byterians, Old and New School, occupies
considerable space in the journals of each
body. The discussion - has opened new ele
ments, and while new controversies are de
veloped thereby, the main features are in
tact, and the result will be that a better and
dearer understanding between all . concem-
ed will bd attained, and the grand consum
mation accomplished sooner or later. The
"Pittsburgh Circular" seems to be growing
in favor, as we observe new names are
added weekly in the Banner of this city.
The sweet-spirited Rev. Theodore L. Cuy
ler, of the New School body, fetirs that
while thePittsburgh-Allegheny Plan of
,
Union (on the standards, "pure and sim
.
ple,") is an admirable one, per se, delay
may be caused by the substitution of it for
the one submitted by the General Assem
blies, and may lead to new discussions, and
open new controversi . s. However, he
says the. New ' School - , re ready for union
either on the - "Pitts]) rgh Basis," or the
Committee's Basis, and promises that they
will trust the Old School brethren, and they
expect them to trust is ,brethren. He
thinks they are just as and in their alle
giance to the good old s ndards of faith as
any hrother at Prhic to , -or Allegheny,
,
and have no fears of " tanding an examinu
tion" before even the veteran Presbytery of
New Brunswick. In short, he says' they
are waiting with open arms to embrace
their
, brethren of the other branch in the
one common faith "once delivered to the
salts." We notice in the Banner that
Philadelphia is suggested as , the place for
holding the first General Assembly of the
United Church. San Francisco is making a
bid for the honor, but as well suggested,
when the grand Pacific Railway is corn:
pleted, will be a good time to respond to the
invitation to meet, on the Pacific Coast.. . ,
Comparatively few persons really under
stand the exact views of the Reformed Pres
byterian Church on Psalmody. Rev. Thom
ati Sproul!, of Allegheny city, Pa., who rep
merits the Old Bide body, and is good au
thority, gives the views of his Church in
the Presbyterian, in order to correct certain
representations made by Dr. J. F. McLar
en, who is writing a series of articles on the
subject in that paper. He denies the as
sertion, that his" Church - assumes that they
sing alone "inspired Psalmody," and says
that Idea never entered into their minds.
He argues thus: "Do we not call our Eng
lish Bible Ood•given book? • ;The inspired
volume ? And do we mean anything more •
than that is a translation of the inspired
origirials ? Why not allow us the same lat
itude of expression in regard to a version of
a part of the Bible all Protestants claim for
themselves in regard to the whole ?" He
thinks that the Scottish 'version is the best
and they sing it because it is a version of the
Inspired Psalms. The same necessity that
requires the use of a version of the Bible in
devotional reading, re4mres the use of a
version of the Psalms in devotional sing
ing. •
The special Mission work under the aus
pices of the BaUtists at the Mariner's
Church, at the corner of Oliver and Henry
streets, New York City, is in a very pros
pering state. Dr. Hodge, the pastOr t As
assisted by three seamen. The membership is
between, five and six hundred, more than
half of whom are seamen. In the last quar
ter more than one hundred seamen have
signed the pledge; some two thousand have
been 'induced to'. attend worship. Bible
tract and other religious reading have been
distributed extensively.
Reference *as recently made to the hold
ing of the National Unitarian Convention
1
I in New York, October 6th, 7th and Bth,
since which we learn that all churChes and
organizations in simpathy with the general
I, ideasand work of Liberal Christians are
invited to send delegates. The Independent
says it is proposed to give but little time to
denominational statistics and affairs, and to
devote most attention to the discussion of
such questions as connect with the general
improvement of society and the Christianiza
tion of the masses. We note' in this con
nection that the Annual Session of the Gen
eral Convention of Universalists in the
United States of America will be held in
the city of Providence, Rhode Island, com
mencing on Tuesday, September 15th,1868.
The venerable Heman Bangs, D. D., of
New York, a Presiding Elder (Methodist)
of a large District, though in his seventy
ninth year, is active and laborious in his
work. It is well said that few of the yoyng
preachers either do or could - endure the
amount of ministerial duty Which this time
scarred veteran smiles underyear after year.
At the Philadelphia yearly meeting of the
Quakers, a, member in good standing in
other regard, was net allowed to speak be
cause hat and coat did not correspond to the
fashions of William Penn. The Herald of .
Peace, a liberal Journal of the Friends, ,
thinks that . this spiritual slave-power
should be overthrown, -and that a better
reason for restricting the right of speech
should be given than that the dress is not to
their notion.
The griduating class Of Yale College num
bers one hundred and six members. Of
these, says the Advance, of Chicago, seven
ty smoke and fifteen chew—tobacco, nearly
seventy play billiards, and ninety.six (all
but ten of toe class,) play cards. The
strangest thing about it Is that eighteen of
the class are to study theology, which must
include at least eight of the card players.
St. James Episcopal Church, at Milwau
kee, was formally opened upon the Festi
val of the Patron Saint, 25th ult, with in
teresting services. Bishop . Whitehouse, of
Minols, preached an eloquent sermon on
the occasion. Rev. John Scarborough,
Rector of Trinity Church, Pittsburgh, was
present and participated.

Dr. Evans was eminently fitted for the work,
being a writer of merit and ability.
Rev . — Alex. Clark, pastor of the First
Methodist (Protestant) Church, Fifth street,
Pittsburgh, was at last accounts on the sum

when it is remembered this peak rises sixty
three hundred feet above the ocean level.`
The Methodist Recorder represents that his
health is iniproving by this needediest, and
that his voice is getting clear and• strong
again.
A. correspondent of the ChriBtian fierala
writes that there are two church edifices in
Humbolt, Kansas, a town of about six hun.
dred inhabitants, a 'United Brethren and a
a Roman Catholic, and that "if there be a
drinking hole in the place he has not seen
it." This correspondeht on the occasion of
his visit to RAS place organized a New
School Pre,sbyterian Church. ,
The Springfield Republican gives an ac
count,of the singular• conduct of a man in
thit city named Marcus Tourtellolte, who,
in order to compel the colored Methodist
Church to sell its premises, because the
people are noisy in their worship, has built
a fence around the church as high as the
eaves, only eighteen inches distant on one
side and about a yard on the other. To
render it still more offensive, the fence is
painted black on the side 'next the church,
which is rendered dark in the midst of day,
and so hot on Satbathe as to be absolutely
stifling. The spirit of this man is very un
like the temper of the Gospel ,of -Christ,
and unless hie heart is changed by the power
of divine grace, he is in danger of a noisier
association than he is troubled with on
Loring street.
At the meeting of the B'ni B'rith, or
(Jewish) Sons of the Covenant, a benefic
iary association numbering one hundred
and twelve lodges, held recently at New
York, one of the speakers declared the
principles of the order were that the resto;
ration of the Jews to Palestine and the ex
pectation of the advent of the Messiah were
no longer tests of oilhodoxy in Judaism.
They believed in the brotherhood and com
mon destiny of all mankind.

SHATTERED CONSTITUTIONS.
Our constitutions are elastic. They are not easily
shattered. In fact, strictly speaking. Death alone
can shatter i hem, for they represent the reserve of
vitality, which enables the enfeebled system to re
set, when the pressure of disease Is removed from
it. • But it is the fashion, when the body is weak,
the circulation languid, the nerves tremulous and
the mind depressed, to say i that the constitution Is
ruined, or broken down, oil shattered. In cases of
the kind described, administer HOSTETTER%

lease of life under its vitalizing operation.

Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a well
mown aural surgeon, who says: "I fur not to re
iterate the assertion which I made on several ihr•
