At 143 q. -

This was precikely what was expected,
'THE failing health of QUEEN VICTORIA,
- who is now in Switzerland, causes a revival
of the rumors of her inteßtion to abdicate
her throne. It is even. prldieted that this
event is to occur speedily after-her return to
her dominions.
THE Democratic newspapers hereabouts
are parading in the largest type, the card of
a "leading colored member of thelfississippi
Convention"„ (the Democracy would have
styled hini,last year, a "Mississippi nigger,")
who has just joined the Democratic party.
la this, or is it not, a "white man's gov
ernment?"
IT IS gratifying to observe the'Unanimity
with which the German voters in all quar
ters are uniting in opposition to &Ara and .
SEYMOUR. In Missouri, they are against
the Democratic ticket, almost to a man.
In Ohio, in the interior of New York and
in New England, the German vote will be
more decidedly Republican than ever, and
similar reports come to us from nearly
every Northern State. This class of our
adopted citizens are over ,friends of peace,
and they detest the shameful dishonesty of
Repudiation.
THE ADDILEBI3 to the voters of Pennsyl
vania, from the Ilepublican Committee,
which we print in another column, deserveS
'the thoughtful perusal of every voter. , It
presents in a concise form the only sub
stantial issues of the canvass. The real,
question is one of Peace and War; all other.
considerations are secondary to-this. The
people are not to be amused by the elec
tioneering trick, which aims to divert them
from its contemplation, by fictitious allega
tions against the financial integrity of the
Government. Were that the issue, the, facts
and figurei would soon dispose of it forever.
T;:c real issue is this—aro we to have any
Government at all ? Aim for the bull's eye,

WE DESIRE to return hearty • thank* to
Mr. WALLACE, the Head-Centre of Penn
sylvania Democracy,for the very handsame
manner in which he sent one. of his, hired
mcrt.to entertain us last night. A gentle
man who went to in Tito help
nominate : FREMONT, because ABRAHAM LIN-.
coi,i was not Radical enough in his aboli-'
tionism, - but who is now supposed to, have
accepted a moderate stipend from the Dem
peratic funds to abuse his old Radical friends
this year; interested us exceedingly. In
acquitting, as he did, the Republican party
of any 'desire to introduce negro suffrage
in Ohio:and Pennsylvania, he was - sotandid
and truthful as to excite, some suspicions of
bia fidelity to his present employers.-' But
we arc "free to say that, his numerous mis
statements of fact completely ekliced the
transient favorable impression created by
this admission. Our impression of his effort;
tuknn as a,whole, was that , ho was .exactly

THE SOUTHERN SITUATION. -
Evidently, our Republican friends must
soon address themselves to the duty of 'or
ganization in the Southern States, and adopt
some more effective measures to coun
teract,the efforts, made by the rebel Democ
racy' to control, very little by persuasion and
very much by coercion, the colored vote,
or the results of their elections in Novem
ber will be far frcm satisfactory, It may
be that a strong reliance is justly to be placed
upon the Radical prepossessions of the
freedmen, but we are convinced that this
will be largely overbalanced by the thorough
ly organized system of cOmpulsion and ter
rorism with which the Ku-K l lu?Demoeracy
are already counting upon securing their ma
jority, in every reconstructed State.
Reports from all sections of the South
multiply daily, and all concur in represent
ing the Democretic tactics, for driving the
ti i•
colored vote into their support, as p evailing
universally, and justifying the susp cion that
a much greater success will attend t em an
our friends would be glad to admi ,
The objects of this system of terrorist are
not to be gained by any premature ma es
,,
tations of the submission of the reedmen.
HAMPTON, FORREST and other le ders care
little for mass meetings of Demo ratic ne
groes now; it is their policy to a ert suspi
cion and to conduct their canvass through
the quieter and more effective agencies of
Ku-Klux-Klans, and by the proscription of
laborers who refuse to accept the polities of
their employers. This is a policy which
will tell its story for the first time at the
polls, and the time for a remedy will then
have gone by.
There is danger that these men will at
tempt to run an Electoral ticket in Vir
ginia, Texas and Mississippi, but the danger
from their universal but secret system of
intimidation and proscription in the rester
ed,States is still greater, and it is that which
requires the close and immediate attention
of our friends. Any 'attempt to force an
equal participatimisby the populations of the
former States, in that election to which
they are not legally parties, can and will be
met and frustrated in due course of law,
but the other scheme, which propoSes to
bribe or dragoon the, dependent freedmen
into an unwilling vote for{ Snymonn and
Brent, by cajoling th r eni with pledges never
to be redeemed, or menacing them with the
loss of employment and consequent star
vation, is. at this moment, without doubt,
completely inaugurated in every State be
tween the loyal North and the Gulf.
If that programme is to encounter no resist
ance except such as the freedmen them
selves, aided by the limited white Union
sentiment of the South, may be able to or
ganize; if the canvass of those States for
Grant and Colfax and Peace is to be wholly,
neglected by the friends of the Union at the
-North, we may rely upon it that some the
electoral votes of the reconstructed States
will be needlessly lost to us. This result
must inevitably follow, if the elections are
suffered to go by default. Let some one tell
us what effort are making to avert this?
We are curious to know, •
The remedy for this state of things may
be applied by the legislatures of those States,
or, if need be, by Congress. We do not indi
cate the precise direction this legislation
should take; it is enough to insist that the
exercise of such improper influences over the
voter in Pennsylvania, or any of the North
ern States, would be found to be capable of
prompt and effective correction by our law
making authority, and that the same author
ity can be - appealed to in the restored States
as well, to prevent or punish the suborna
tion or ,intimidation of voters. If the
legislation of Georgia, or the Carolinas, as
it now stands, shows a failure to provide
against this class of outrages upon the free
dom and - purity, of the ballot, the local laws
should be amended forthwith. In this way,
- and by other legislation such as the case may
demand, each of these States may, prac
tically, and with the utmost propriety,
defeat the rebel Democratic programme.
In Tennessee, alone of all the former slave
holdhpg States, the authorities seem resolute
to dell promptly and vigorously with .the
rebel Spirit of intimidation, and the loyal
Governor and Legislature are plainly en
titled
to the sympathy and approbation. of
loyal men everywhere. The storm which
has been aroused, by the proposition in that
State to put down the illegal rebel organiza-
tions by. the strong hand, proves the indis
pensable necessity for precisely such meas
ures. We hope that our friends there will
neither be wheedled nor frightened into
giving up the policy which they have pro
posed. A..d we should be glad' to chronicle
the adoption of the same sort of legislation
by the loyal authorities of the restored
States. The remedy for an Imminent dan
ger is with them, rather than with Congress.
Time flies, and the sooner the si tuition is
grappled with, the better for the , , for us;
and for the tnion: - •

WORDS. ON MUTE &N 1) SOBERNESS
Two years ago the writer of tile following
letter, HOD. GEORGE M. WESTON, of
Bangor, Maine, was the Democratic candi
date for Congress in the. fourth. district of
that State. The writer has been and still
is opposed to the reconstruction policy of
Congress, nevertheless he, is evidently an
honest and sensible man, as are many of the
members of that party, notwithstanding the
treason and madness of the leaders. The
letter was written to a friend in North . Car
olina, and the extract -below was very
propeFly published for the consideration of
the people down there. We commend it
to the calm consideration of honest, reflect
ing Democrats up here. It is just such a
document as' Republicans can use with good
effect in their friendly discussion ofthe great
issue now pending with their Democratic
friends and neighbors:
"This reconstruction policy of Congress,
strenously as I resisted it, and obnoxious as
it is to you is an accomplished fact. The
effectsof it be modified by events, and
the policy itself may be sofrened, with the
gradual subsidence of the passions connec
ted with the late struggle, but overthrown
it cannot be, except by revolution and an
other civil war, and the issues of the pend
ing Presidential canvass are so made up as
to present the question, necessarily over
shadoiving all others, whether the country
is ready for so desperate an attempt as that,
for any grievances which exist."
Mr. WitsroN then quotes from BLarn's
Broadtop letter and WADE HAMPTON'S ex
planations, of the manner in which the res
olutions at New York were made to declare
the reconstruction acts "revolutionary, un
constitutional, ntaland told," and adds:
"The assumption of the Democratic plat
form, that the reconstruction acts are ,'ntil/
and void,' has no shadow of fact orlaw to
lest upon.
"Congress may not have exercised power
wisely, but their rightful authority in the
premises is
.clear and unquestionable, and
those who denounce their acts as 'null and
void,' and counsel, revolutionary resistance
to them, are either thoughtless persons who
Know not what they do, or bold and bad
men, fatally bent on mischief. It Is not In
this second civil war, into which Mr. Blair
and the Democratic platform seek to entice
them, that the Bouther u States will find a
remedy for the evils which they suffer.
White immicration from Europe and the
North which peace and quiet will invite, the
higher ratio of natural Increase of whites as
compared with blacks, the dimunition of
the number of the disfranchised resulting
slowly, but surely from deaths, and ,the early
removal of disfranchlsements which is as
sured by such - movements as we have Just
bad reported from the Legislature of Geor
gia will before long change the whole face
of affairs. The antagonism of races 'will
itself cease, when political contests cease to
turn upon issues connected with the relative
rights of races. The policy of Mr, Blair, on
the other hand, tends directly'and inevita
bly to band and consolidate the blacks into
a phalanx Impenetrable upon every front:
I see unredeemed mischief in it, in all Its
aspects. The flag with which he marches at
the head of the Democnitic column is the
black flag of discord and civil war for the
country, and of awar of races for the South.
The mass of his misguided followers are
honest and well-intentioned, but it is none
the less true that he is leading them in'a
broad and straight road to ruin.
"My hope is that the sober and discreet
men* , ..of the. South, whose counsels, like
yowl, would have saved it from the late
war, will now avail to save it from this in.
finitely worse war, at once internal and ex
ternal, portended by a now-revolution,riot
so much originating in your section here
the justifying grievances are - alleged to ei
ist, as instigated by political calculation
elsewhere—a strange revolution, indeed, in
behalf of Southern rights, in which' the
warmest men are the men of the North,
who are seeking, not the redress of wrongs,
but the gratification of their lust of power,
at the hazard of the ruin of the country."
, . This: gentleman's views of the issue as
presented in the New York platform, in the
letters of BLAIR and the. speeches of
HA r-
TON
. and other leading members of that
Convention; coincide precisely , with our
own as repeatedly expressed in these col
umns. Well and truly does Mr. WESTON
say--speaking of Fnemt-Bwita, who is the
nominee land representative of the rebel
wing of the party, and the Mostpotential—
"The flag with which he marches at the head
of the Democratic column is the black flag
of discord and cira war for the country; and
a war of races for the South,
,The mass of
his- misguided followers are honest and well
intentioned; but it is none
. the less true that
he is leading them in a broad and straight
road to ruin." • - ' •

Mr. Grow followed, and was received
throughout with loud and lengthy cheers.
He dwelt mainly upon the financial ques

suffrage question was also alluded to, in
which Mr. Grow warmed the Democracy.

humor until a late hour. After the close

to hear Galusha A. Grow and the Republi
can candidate for ConOess in the Twen
ty-fourth District, Captain .1. B. Donley.

Johnson and the Democracy.
Notwithstanding the attempt to conceal
the negotiations which the New York Dem
(knits have been carrying on with the Pres
ident since Mr. Seymour's nomination, some
of their adventures at the White House
have come to light. To the first , gentlemen
who called on him shortly after the Conven
tion adjourned, he was very curt telling
them he had set their party on its feet, and
in return they had thrown him overboard,
and he could have nothing more to do with
them further. In his own choice language,
he asked them to say "to Mr. Seymour and
the whole 'World' set, that he had been in
formed they had been from the first secretly
in favor of impeachment, and now they
might one and all go to hell, as far as he
cared." And with this the first interview
ended. There have been several others, and
finally, during last week, these gentlemen
ruported here and in New York that the
President had been brought around, and
would now help in the coming campaign.
They made some grand promises as they
tell their friends, but their nature has not
been ascertained.
11foxtaintratv BLAIR addressed an as
semblage of ex•Confederat es - at Alexandria
on !Thursday night. As reported in the
Alexandria Advertiser (Democratic,) he
said, "he had differed with them in believ
ing that their rights were to be sought in
the Union, but in looking at the present
posture of affairs he was almost inclined to
think that he had been wrong and the people
of Virginia had been right. But he did not
believe the people of the North would per
mit this Radical rule to continue. The
people of the North knew that in the liber
ty of the South was bound up their liberty,
and thus would rid themselves of Radical
rule. Be had been a.,Umon•rnati, but he
had never been of those who abused Lea
and Johnson and the other, Generals of the
Confederacy. The piople of the, Mirth
knew that' the peopleof the South were
patriotic. There bad been cause for the re
sistance 'of the South; if ihe people of the
_Werth had -not seen it . btfoiie; 'they begin to
see it now; and it was for, the future, in its
developments, to say which side was right.
THE true position of the Democracy is
clearly demonstrated in the following little
incident which occurred at Grafton,West
Va., last week, at the Democratic Stat Con
vention: Mr. George H. Pendleton, the
great embodiment of Democracy, made a
lengthy and vigorous speech, setting forth
the principles of the party, its objects, etc.,
awl concluded in his best style. After
leaving the platform, be was accosted by a
no-armed man,, who stepped up to him and
aid: "Mr. Pendleton, allow me to congrat
late you on the excellence of your speech.
can well appreciate it, as I lust this arm
n defense of the principles you advocate,"
t the same time holding up to. view the
ktumii of his arm. "Ab," said Mr. Pendle
ton with a bland smile. "Yes, sir," said
the ex-soldier, "I lost that arm while fight
tn in the.Bouthern army against the aboli
ion Government." Mr. Pendleton walked
his sentiments truly.

STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18, 186 S.
To the Voters of Pennsylvania:
Within sixty days you are to decide at
the polls upon the principles and general
poliby that are to control the administration
of public affairs for the next four years. On
the result hang the grave lineations of the
peace and good order of society, the pros
perity of the industrial interests, the devel
opment of the resources of the country, the
integrity of the Union, and the guarantees
of liberty.
In the outset of the contest the party that
for four years paralyzed thearm of industry,
by loading it with a barden of twenty-five
hundred millions of debt, involved the coun
try in civil war, and threateneikthe destruc
tion of the Union and the overthrow of
Liberty, solicits your suffrages declaring that
it has no principles to advocate br measures
to support, and calls upon ito followers
everywhere to defend nothing. With noth
ing in its history for years worthy to be
defended, it is the part of wisdom not to
make the attempt ; for it has manacled the,
freedom of the press crushed out liberty of
speech and brutalized the public conscience
in 'fifteen States. It ostracised every man
who had: the courage to declare human bond
age a sin against God and a flagrant viola
tion of the spirit and genius of the Repub.,
lie. It waged a cruel war against the
pioneer settlers of the Territories and cover
ed the prairies of Kansas with murdered
heroes, because they preferred freedom to
slavery. It established a reign of terror,
and made the residence of men faithful to
the principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence impossible on more than half of
the territory covered by the flag of a com
mon country. Defeated inits efforts to elect
a President of its choice, it' appealed to
arms to nullify the decision of the ballot-box.
In the struggle it laid a' million of brave
men in untimely graves, shrouded the nation
in mourning, and flooded it with team.
Such are the , ghastly testimonials of what
the Democracy has done in years past.
No thanks to that party that to-day we
have a country to love or a Constitution to
revere! It did all in its power to destroy
both.
And now it again seeks power, through
discord and civil strife. For four years,
during the height of the nation's peril, the
only hope of the:party for success was in
disaster to our arms. Hence it rejoiced,at
every Union defeat, and mourned over
'every Union victory. -
Its candidate for Vice President dedlared
to the convention that nominated him, that
"we must have a President who will exe-'
cute the will of the people by trampling in
to dust the usurpations of Congress known
as the reconstruction acts. * - * I
repeat, this is the real and only question
which we should allow to control us. It is

sue." Thus was he nominated, and Wade
Hampton advocating the ticket, before an
audience in South Carolina, declares "that
the cause for which they fought, and for
which Stonewall Jackson died, will yet
be gained in the election of Seymour and
Blair."
If this party can succeed at the ballot
box, the work of reconciliation for four
years will be undone, and. the priceless sac
rifice sof four others will have , been made
in vain.
The issue is marked and Well defined:

IS YOUR DISEASE RHEUMATISM!
Many persons, supposing they are suffering from
this disease, have applied Linaments,Plasters and
other Rheumatic Remedies without obtaining any
relief, when in fact the cause of pain is a derange
ment of the Kidneys. These are. small organs, but
very Important, and any obstruction or interference
with its functions are Indicated by pain in the bark
and loins, languor and weakness, difficulty in avoid
ing and' unnatural color of the urine. A Ditiretic
should t once be resorted to.
.bitsretic or Backache Pills
Can be relied on for these purposes; .they have a
direct influence on the cells of the kidneys, assists
nature In relieving them of any foreign. particles,
and mutates them to a healthy and vigorous ac
tion
Dr. Sargent's Backache Pills

tirely vegetable remedies: they do not sicken nor
gripe—on the contrary they act as a gentle:tonic and
restores tone to the system. They are reeommended
by all who who have tried them. .

THE BODY RENEWED.
According to .Physiologists, the human body is

Health depends upon the nature of that material,
and whether It Shall be pure or diseased, Dill of
vitality and elasticity, or feeble and flaccid, depends
mainly unon the action of the stomach. In warm
weather the waste of the system is very rapid, and
If It la not as rapidly repaired by the great sustain
ing organ, the con•egoenct is debility, emaciation
and decay. It is. therefore, of paramount import-,

'CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE, EAR.
In obserrattons sod notes taken by 14. ENTSICIt,
of this city, on the various diseases of the' car, he
says that nine. out of ten cases could be cured in
thetr incipiency if aepleation were made to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a well
known aural stirgeon,_who says "t fear 'not to re •
iterate the asbertion which I made on several for
mer occastoes, that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or understood by the generality of
practitioners, and as' early attended to. as those of
the eye, it would be fauna that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •,
Deafness is so : common and - so dlstresalng an In
Brushy, and When of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot toe, stronel y urge all medical practi
tioners to mike themse 'ICB familiar with the tieit
ment of the diseases of the ear. '• •

the organ of the he.tring, sumo of which had lin
