A very large and enthusiastic meeting Of
, . .
the loyal citizens of South Pittsburgh was,
held last• evening at the first toll house on

_ .
At eight o'clock the meeting came to or
der by - Justice Barker taking the chair, and
the ; reporter of the Gems= s Glaciating es
Secretary. •
' The Second Ward Glee Club, led by Mr.
John A. Jones was In attendance end en
livened the occasion With some exbellent
mush. " • a
Justice Barker on taking the Chair made
a.few pertinent .remarks, and introduced
lion. George Wilson asthe first sleeker. ,
Mr. Wilson remarked that , the present
aspect of the Democratic party, afforded an:-
ether illustration of the ready facility with
.which that party
,cotedchange its senti-'
meats and opinions.. No juggler Wasnaare
expert in his business than this so-called
Democratic party; Nothing since all 'the
Democratic journals, from the New York
IVorid down to the Pittsburgh lbst, lauded
and eulogized General Grant. as . the 'ham
and „Man of the . people. Now they, hatre
changed and unite.in crying down and en.
,deavoring by every in their power
to . defeat him.: Why was this - change?
Simply because - Gen. Grant would not - be
made a tool in their hands to undo and de
stroy a Government which he had so gal
lantly preserved.", , •
The gen leman then took up the leading
questions at issue' and handled them in a
masterly Style, showing that It was not so
much.a que-tlonwhe her this or that man
should be elected to the chief magistracy,
bat the real question was, shall the,l3nYern
, ment which our forefathers hatida down
,to us as a 'noble legacy be preserved?
1 Or shall the frartioldal hands of rebels and
revolutionizers rend the Mir fabric of all
our hopes and fears and cause it to be for-
I gotten? • : ' ' • •
, On the bond question he. remarked _ that
1 the party which • brought on the war, and
prolonged the conflict, crippling and
embarradsing the Goeernment, was alone
I responsible for the lax.., ,•,. • ----. I
The gentleman closed with a 'beautifiil pa
lliation, appealing tothe loversOf humanity'
[ and the liberties .of the .race to vote for
,their noblest defenders and ' champions,
• . ..
Grant and Colfax. I
The Glee Club then favored - . - ..the meeting
With a song entitled "The - IL'S. Race," if.
terwhich H.. 0. Mackrell, `Esq., was intro
- i
:' Mr. Mac krell said this was the first tittle
he had the honor of addressing an au
dience composed of:South ,Pittaburghere,
and as he looked around on_ the large as
sembly and thofight of the great privilege
which they enjoyed of meeting thus togeth
er, he thanked a wise and good Providence
that the Republic had had a loyal race.
anal patriotic soldiery who in times gone
by had fought and secured to them this
great boon. In 1363 he marched up the
Brownsville road to build .fortificatione to
, defend the place from rebel invaders, and
if he saw aright the same people whom ho
had met then were gathered now to cast
another snot into the ranks of the same
rebel enemy. It was the same rebel ele
inent to-day which - confronted loyalty es
that which confronted it four years ago,
and attempted to destroy the Governnient.
They come to us now and say defiantly:..
"We intend to elect enouzh Representatives
by fair ' means or foul to control the nest
National legislative" Assembly, - and thee
we intend to undo alt that has been done
during the four years in si hich you eon
tended with us. The Democratic party
watthen taken up in detail and reviewed
`in a happy style by the'gentleman, in the
course of which be ma de several telling
hits, and was rapturously applauded. Mr.
Mackrell continued for over an hour to die
course in an effective manner the leading
points at issue between the two parties, bat'
want of space forbids us giving a lengthy
report. . - .
The Glee Clab sung another Patriotic
ballad, after which Miles - Humphreyik
Esq., took the stand and addressed the
audience for about twenty minutes. He
said he was not much addicted to public
speaking, and did not feel in the
humor of speaking, consequently
would - not detain them - long I:ty
any extended . speech. The great
questions which agaitated the public
.rnind at the present . time scarcely need
ed argument. They Were so plain, so sini
ple, that he who runs may read. After -
giving's hasty retrospect 'of the war and Of
its causes, he remarked that the war bad
now_closedi and the question now pardon
larly before the people was : shall the iii
sue as settled by it remain? All the blood
, and treasure so freely given during the greit
conflict of principles wore. spent in vat,
ci
if these principles as they were determine
at its close did not become aviiving- retain
in our future history.. .The gentleman pro-
Ceeded to argue thlepoint at some • length,
and closed his remarks by urging upon ail
present the duty which they owed.to thlini
selves, to the- interest otliberty and htt
=lndy, to carefully consider thaquestionis
before them, and be prepared do act accord . -,
' ingly. - . `,.; -'' .'. ~• . _

of treasure , before, it was crushedby the

_called the attention of. the meeting to
the records of the - opposing entail
dates for, the .Presidency. General Grant,
although edueated•at West Point, when the
country no longer required hid services
• doned , the garb of a pioneer, went to
the far west and became a part of the bona
and sinew of this great nation—alaboring
man.' , When treason stalked abroad in the
land, and , the life of the nation was im
perilled, he was among the' first to respond
to her call for assistance, and raising a com
pany of men tendered themoto the govern
ment, and they were accepted. From the
rank of Captain' he was gradually -promo
ted, , until he noes stood at the 'head
of the army. How different was it
avith.the opposing Candidate who was born
wealthy and reared in luxury, and who
boasted of having the smallest and 'pretti
est hand of any man' in Ma. State ot New
York; who bossed that. he nad never done
a day's work in his life, and while General
Grant. was forcing the rebel General. Pem
berton to terms at Vicksburgh,• this same
Democratic candidate for• the Presidency
was inciting the rabid Democracy of New
York to a rebellion against the laws of the
nation, and the Democratic party asked
working men—the men who by their, toil
had saved the Government, when he was
attempting to destroy it, to vote for him.
The financial question was then taken up
and dismissed in• a clear and lucid manner.
The speaker said the originator of the
Democratic financial scheme had left upon
record sufficient argument to condemn it,
and in support of the assertion, quoted'
from Pendleton's speech in Congress, In
1861, against the issue of greenbacks. He
also read extracts from Seymbur's Albany,
speech against the greenback , theorY.
said that money 'everything else de.
predated in -value in proportion to the sup- -
ply. In illustration of,this fact, he ,stated'
that if there 'were one hundred million
bushels of wheat for sale ie• the country,
and Only one hundred Million of dollaiii to
pay for it, Wheat would be worth just one
dollar per bushelotad, if there ,were five
hinidied Millions of money, wheat would
be worth five dollars per bushel. great
interest
remarks were liatened to with great
interest bY the audience, saad - highlrap•
plauded at the close.
'The 'Fourteenth Ward . Glee, Chib Was

The Chairman then introduced General
Negley, candidate fer Congress, whir ad
dressed the meeting at considerable length.
He referred to the record of Gen. Grant in
most eloquent terms, and his remarks
throughout wore highly applauded by the
audience.
R.' B. Parkinson, Esq., was 'then intro
duced, and addressed the meeting at some
length on the issues before the people.
At the close of Mr. Parkinson's address,
the meeting adjourned with three cheers

FnLi,Ow CITIZE. B of AL LEDIIENT COUN,
Ti-'lt' is not ' wit out some feelings of
regret that we, feel ourselves compelled to
propose a Citizens' candidate
or the office of County . Ceinmissioner.
From year to year we have keen persuaded
Ito co-operate with our respective parties,
receiving assurane s that good and reliable
men would be pr posed for - our support,
and that through t e regular`candidates of
the different parti we could make our in-_
fluence be felt in behalf of the Temperance.
Reform. But we have been disappointed.
The evils of•intomPertince hairs) steadily in-:
creased. Houses in_ which intoxicating
liquors are sold are being rapidly multipled.
.Drunkenness. and all the crimes and vices
Which follow it;
are becoming wide spread
and alarming. The pernicious influence of
the liquor traffic is invading our churches
and faMilies, is decoying thousands of our
youth.into the way of ruin, and sapping
the 'moral foundatiens of 'society, and is
*endangering the, purity' and security of
of, the community. • This defiling, and ac
cuOod wickedness is offensive to the maj
listy of heaven, provokesits blightingjudg
ments, and ought, therefore to be opposed
and,extirpated its ati enemy of our race.
Hence, as conscientious:men, we should
no' longer he - silent, but co-operate
in suet' a course of action as may best sub
‘serry the .intereete of Morality . and fell
.
' glen; li. is not : our design to weaken any
partY, or imperil the interests of the semi),
in siofar as that party. may be correct in its
measures. But we feel called upon to re:
fuse our suPport to the candidate of any
party who gives his influence to extend
rather than diminish the - traffic in intoxi
cating drinks, ,And now assembled as we
are, we do declare our candid and earnest
opposition to the present Jiciense syStem,
and pledge ourselves to do all in our pow
er to secure the completelriumPh of pro
hibition. ' And we earnestly call upon all
Christian ministers and churches, upon all
temperance organizations and lovers of or
der and good Morals, throughout the

Headquarters'for Campaign Goode
- -
That the political canvass is growing
warm and excited isamply evidenced by the
immensity of the business 'in campaign
goods now being transacted by John
Pittock, the pioneer dealer in that line, of
Western Pennsylvania.. Large orders from
the Democratic and . Republican einbe
throughout our own and.neighboring Statea
are daily received for"flags, badges, club
"unife;rms, medals, pins, - lanterns, balloons,
ite. It is quite amusing to look through
the various departments of Mr. Pittook's
campaign goods depot, there being such a
refreshing mixture 'of political parapher
nalia, for all parties acknowledgethis house•
to be- the headquarters - for supply. The
styles of campaign goods which have thus
far appeared in the market, and are for side
at Moon's are very numerous, and the
great majority are a decided - improvement
overthese in use during the last'Prtisideri
tial canvass. We, yesterday had the ?teas.
tite of examining quite a large collection of
samples of ladies .and gents badge pins in
gold, mid silver gilt with candidate's
likenerises; some - of 'Which Were ;per-
elect models of beauty: In the 'flag - roma.
wo.,found, an endless variety of . Print
ed .mnslin ,gags, ranging in price from
ten cents unto eighteen dollars. These are
supplied; with the candidates names and
mottoes to Skit: ' Of 'printecrsilk and bunt

Besides tbe.different Styles of flags enu
merated, Mr. Pittook manufactures to •on

from one to a thousand dets,'with or wit*.

tice in any style desirable:and - at prima' Ili
low as the lowest of Eastern competitos
Mr. Pittock keeps on hamlet' styles of pe
traits of the candidates, with or withou
frames, and a full line of campaign boo
and documents. Indeed for any and ever
thing hi the way of campaign goods, wholei

New.Prinelples of Life Insurance.
If the benefits of Life Insurance' were .
fully understood, and the public had -per-
feet confidence In all the companies, it is
certain that there would scarcelybe an in-
elllgent man who would not take that
metliod of providing for his family after
his death. Yet, in the United States, sta
tistics show that but one life in . one bun
dred'is insured. The great difficulty is
that the principles of the system have nev
--- -
'Or been popularized, and that men have
not been convinced-41s they easily can be
—of its absolute security and its imnietisur
able usefulness. • • • ". '
An entirely new era in AMerican Life
Insurance hi begun by the establishment
of the National Life Insurance Company,
chartered by Congress, with'a paid-up cash:
Capital of One,Million Dollars; and under
tho imanagement of the ablest and hest
known financiers of the country. This
Company will give an impetus to the busi
ness which will be universally felt, -Or it •
proposes a plan which is so simple, so safe,
so thoroughly, business-like in' every 're
spect, that it will at once take from Life
Insurance every element of uncertainty,
and Place its benefits within the reach and
the ,comprehension of every citizen..,
Most of 'Ainerieati Insurance Companies
hithertoliave - been organized on the rnuttt
al system, every policy-holder being
charged at Ft high rate for the privilege of a
share in the earnings of the Company. The
'National Life Insurance Company has
abolished this system entirely. It offers
the largest amount of immediate insurance
for agiven sum of money; it offers no'op
porinnity for speculation. and no margin
for disappointments Rvel7 man who in,
sures his lifeln it, knows precisely what
he buyes, and while he has not the hope of
making some great profitnut of future clivi
dends. he is withont fear of loss. The diVi- ,
dends which the mutual prom:
ise at some uncertain; time to csome. , the
stock company. gives at once. by, reducing
its, rates. For ; instance, a person aged ao,
by paying an annual•premium of $165,50,
secures a policy in the National Life Insu
rance CoMpany of $10,000; while the same
premium in the mutual ,companieS' Can se-
cure but ff 7,031,80. 'On this plan nothing is
left in doubt; the bargin can by no possi
bility be misunderstood by either partY,
and the great object of insurance is gained.
That obieet, en the part of the insurer, is
not speculation,but the protection r of his
family from the evils which might follow
his death. ,
This adVantage of the :National ,Life In
surance Company is not to be easily over
rated, especially when the security which
exists in the magnitude of the paid-up caP
ital,•and the high character 'of the;mana
gers, is considered. But besides this; there
are other new features of the system which
must at once meet the approval and coni
mend the confidence of the public. The
first of these is the Return Premium plan,
by which all premiums paid to the Com
pany will be returned at the death of the
person whose life is insured: A person
aged 30. who pass an annual premium of
15157.50 for a policy of 00,000. and dies in
the first year, ensures his heirs the total
amount of 110,257.50. Should he live ten
years, and pay ten annual premiums, the
amount
. refunded to his family would be,
$12,575. Thus, by this method the policy
holder eels 1. his insurance for almost
nothing, it costing only the interest upon
his annual prerninins. • Another feature,
entirely new and of great value, is the
Income Producing plan, by which the in
surer, in addition to his life insurance, ob
tains from the Company 'a life annuity
after a certain number 'of years. For in
stance,:he may take out a policy of •slooo,
and, by paying a proportionate premium,
secure to himself at the expiration of ten
N e rs an annual income of one hundred
dollars as king as he lives. By this plan a
young man not only provides for his heirs
after his death, but secures for himself a
vermanent income in his old age.
These`are some of the main principles of
this new Company, the organization of
which wo have carefully examined, and
can unreservedly pronounce worthv of
versal confidence. It should be made fully
known to the people of the United States,
for it brings the benefits of life insurance
witihin the reach of all. It is not only the
interest but it is the duty of every man
who thoughtfully considers the uncertainty
of life, to take the ordinary business pre
cautions for the welfare of his ,wife and
children, and no system can be safer and
more certain to protect them from want
than that which we have explained in this
article. .
