POLITICAL.
t
Meeting In the I llighth Ward.
The Republicans of the Seventh and
Eighth wards assembled in mass meeting
last evening, at the corner of Webster and
Fulton streets. A neat and substantial
speakers'lltand had been erected on the
vacant lot, at the corner named, which was
brilliantly illuminated, and gaily decorated
with ChineSe lanterns.. US Ifoore!a Iron
city band was in attenoance, and the excel
.
lent music soon collected an immense
crowd, and when the hour for meetinear
rived, there were betteen two and three
thousand persons pros nt.
The meeting was calied to order by Dr.
J. Guy McCandles, who proposed the fol
lowing list of officers:
President--Jacob tf. Walters.
Vice Presidents—John C. Harper, Charles
Jeremy, Jared M. Brush, Wm. Pownell,
William Shore, Jr.; James Patterson, And.
Burns, John Rahman, Fred. Eversman and
John Little, Jr.
Secretaries—Wm. Freeman, Jas. Owens,
W. F. Robb and the reporters of the Repub
lican press.
Mr. Walters, upon taking , the chair,
thanked the meeting for the honor con
ferred upon him, and then introduced
Professor Pope and his - Junior Grant Glee
Club, who favored the meeting with an
excellent campaign song,which was highly
applauded. This was followed with music
by the band.
The Chairman then introduged Major A.
M. Brown, who made a most excellent ad
dress. He fully canvassed the records of
the candidates during the past eight years,
and contrasted the conduct of Seymour
during and previous to the New York
riots to that of Gen. Grant at Vicksburg
and throughout the rebellion. The finan
cial question was then ably discussed, and
the clap-trap of ~ g reenbacks foribonds"
completely exploded. He said it either
meant repudiation or it meant nothing; but
the Democracy were afraid to present it in
its true light to,the loyal people, but were
attempting to deceive them and, draw them
from the main issues.
He concluded with an eloquent appeal to
the honor and honesty of the loyal people
to go to the polls and vote to perpetuate
the principles of human liberty.
Prof. Pope was lciudly called for, and re
sponded with a local campaign song en
titled "Mn Burt," which created great
merriment in the crowd, and was most en
thusiastically received. -
'
John H. Hampton, Esq., being loudly
called for by the meeting, was then intro
duced to the audience by the Chairman and
proceeded to address the meeting.
Mr. Hampton said - he was highly grati
fied to be called upon to address so large a
meeting of his fellow-citszens. He said the
country was upon the verge of a crisis,
more important to the' nation, and which
more seriously threatened the liberties of
the people, than any that the nation had
ever passed through. He then canvassed
the political history of the, country since
tho Republican party came into power, and
attributed the cause of the war to the Dem
ocratic party. He said it was their de
termination to rule the country, and find
ing the sceptre passing out of their hands,
resolved to destroy it. The first drop of
blood spilled in the Kansas difficulty was
the beginning of the war. The loyal peo
ple of the nation, seeing that the trust im
posed in this once great Democratic party
had been violated, it was arraigned, tried
and convicted by the people, who pro
nounced the first verdict against it in the
election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. The
country was then in the hands of the De
macracy and before the Republican party
came in power the treasury was
robbed, and the Government demoralized.
After four years of ware the Democratic
party again claimed the suffrages of the ,
people; it was again placed upon trial and
the second verdict pronounced against it by
the second election of Abraham Lincoln.
The speaker then took up the question of
reconstruction, and stated that the Demo
orats objected to-negro suffrage. This, he
said, was not the question at issue, but the
De.coexacy, presuming upon the ignorance
of the masses, attempted to work upon their
prejudice against the negro, and for that
purpose drew the negro into the canvass.
The Democracy, he said,were misrepresent
ing the issue all over the country. Pendle
ton, in a late speech in Maine, had stated
that it was stipulated upon the face of the
five-twenty bonds that they should be re
deemed in greenbacks. He pronounced
the assertion a base falsehood and was
ready with the proof to sustain it. After
a most elequent peroration the speaker
closed amid great applause and cries of
"go - on" from the audience.
Prof. J. W. Pope was again called upon
and sung a song entitled "A Democrat in
Search of Votes," which was received with
prolonged applause-
The Chairman then introduced John M
Kirkpatrick, Esq., who in a few remarks
ex cased himself on amount Of the lateness
of the: hour, but said be would be very
happy to meet the audience at any tim
hereafter during the campaign.
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for Grant and Colfax.
Large Mass Meeting in the Fourth Ward,
Allegheny Enthusiastic Audience
Stirring Speeches.
A very large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Republican voters of the Fourth ward,
Allegheny, was held last evening in front
of the Bismark HoteL The Germania
Turner Brass Band was in attendance and
discoureed some excellent music at inter
vals daring the progress of the meeting.
At 7% o'clock the meeting came to order
by the appointment of the following list
of officers:
Preedent—John D. Bailey.
Vice • Presidents—Leonard Walter, Sr.,
Win. C. Murray, C. W. Shaffer H. W.
Bierhass, John lEichenmiller, D. M._ Mul
len, H. Ehlers, Wm. Benike.
`e.epretarie,s—George Irwin, Hugh Me.
Neil, and reporters of the Itepnblican
press.
On taking the. Chair, Mr. Bailey, in a-few
well timed and appropriate remarks, re
turned his thanks for the honor conferral
upon him, and introduced B. F. Luau.,
Esq., - to the audience.
Mr. Lucas, onlcommencing his remarkft,
complimented the — Republicans of tho
fourth ward on their large and enthunias
-1 tic gathering , and the spirit of activity and
energy with which they seemed, to be ant
i mated. He proposed not to tread over-the
whole ground of the discussion now en
gaging the attention of the loyal people of
the Union, bat he wished simply to talk to
them a short time on one issue which
seemed to be the chief hobby of at least one
of the parties asking for the suffrage
of the people of our enlightened nation—
that was the greenback and bond question.
The • gentleman then entertained the audi
ence for nearly an hour, in a logical and
eloquent discussion of this.question show
ing that it was a side issue of ho Demo.
cratie party. They use it as blind or mask
to.oover up the real issues before the coun
try The question at the present time was
not, as one of the frown candidates had ex
pre.sed it, of bonds or of taxes of suffrage.
not a question whether peace or war should
proven.' After developing this point
at some length the speaker turned
his attention to •" an examination of
the record of thePreeldeltial' can
didates, paving' a - high eulogy. to the
genius and statesmanship of the iero and
captain of the century, General Grant.
It has been the cant of the Democratic
party that they want a statesman and not
a soldier, and to speak sneertnglyof Grant.
Let those wh6 speak so sneeringly exam
ine the record of his public career, watch
him rising by the sure and arm aPintioat

the Cabinet, the ' same far reaching
and statesmanlike views characterize the
actions of this remarkably man.
At the conclusion of Mt. Lucas' speech
the band struck up a patriotic air, after
which, in response to loud ,Calls, Mr. W. B.
Rodgers appeared on the stand and made a
short address. Mr. Rodgers said that the
Fourth ward, in 1864, gave_ the largest ma
jority of any ward in the city for the Re
publican nominees, and from the appear
ance of the meeting ; beftire him he , thought
that iesult would not be diminished in the ,
present contest. The present was one of
the most important elections of any that
have even taken place in our national his
tory. Men may talk of greenbacks, and
bonds, and taxes, and all that, but
the real question at issue was, shall
our government be ,preseryed. This
is the question which comes before us
at the present time. On the one hand was
a party of peace and the _other a party of
war. One the one hand was the preserva
tion of our liberties, and on the other was
anarchy, ruin and the complete overthrow
of all those glorious privileges which as
Americans we had ever bebn proud to boast
as ours. The gentleman developed this
point at some length, and closed by saying
that the motto formerly was ,'Americans
shall rule America," but a bettor motto is,
“Loyal men shall rule America."
I After more excellent music loud calls
were wade for Mr. Megraw, member , of
Council from the ward.
nifr. Megraw, on taking the stand, said he
w s surprised to Bnd that his neighbors,
with whom he was associated daily, had
t yet discovered that he was no speech=
ker. He was, however, glad to see so
an of the loyal voters of the Fourth
w d assembled in counsel together,' and
h hoped also to see them on the day of the
election, as in the days of war, when they
marched out In solid phalanx to put down
the enemies of the Government. The gen
tleman then took up the bond question and
viewed it from a practical standpoint,
showing the . fallacy of the Democratic
prate about the matter, which elicited great
applause from the audience.
Thos. M. Marshall, Esq., having arrived,
he was conducted to the stand, the audi
ence greeting him with three loud cheers.
.He said that he had just'come from a meet
ing across the river, where he had been
talking for about an hoar to an acre of
people, consequently he was unable to
make a lengthy address at the present
meeting. He understood that one of the
speakers who preceded him had taken up
the bond question, and frem the charac
ter of the gentleman „he judged the ques
tion to be exhausted, and would take
up another theme, ono of the great
hobbies of • the Democratic party
—Negro Suffrage. Taking up this point,
the speaker proceeeded in an able and
convincing style to argue it, his remarks
eliciting rounds of applause. In the course
of his speech he alluded to the reconstruc
tion policy of Congress, ishowing that it
was the only ono which gave justice to the
South and security to the 'loyal men of the
North, closing With a glowing eulogy on
the nation's savior, 11. S. Grant.
After the conclusion of Mr. Marshall's
address, the Chairman atinounced a meet-,
ing to bo held at Gerst's Hall, Third ward,
this evening, and also ore at the Second
ward stand, on Tuesday evening, after
which the meeting adjourned with cheers
for the candidates, Grant and Colfax.
Ninth ; Ward Meeting.
A rousing mass meeting of tho Repub
licans was held at the headquarters of the
, -
Bayardstown Grant and. l
Colfax Club, cor
ner of Penn and O'Hara treets. The meet
was organized' by appointing Col. Joseph
Kayo Chairman and Ralph J. Richardson
Secretary. ' -
Thoinas M. Marshall, Esq., was the first
speaker introduced by President Kaye.
Mr. Marshall was received with cheers, and
commenced by referring to the fact' that
'the pole around which the speakers' stand
was erected, had been, put up eight years
ago, when Abraham Lincoln was before the
people, for their suffrages for President of
the United States. He spoke of the bray
ing that is done by the Democracy) that
the present political contest is that of a
statesman against a butcher.* Mr. Marshall
gave his idea what a statesman should be.
He then referred to the-record of the two
candidates of their education, of their
abilities and of their labors, and compared
the soldier who had fought the battles of
his couary while Seymour, kid-gloved, was
at home managing his fortune, collecting his
rents and sy pathizing and in fact aiding
and abetting raitorato destroy the country.
Ef
He held that Grant was peculiarly a states
man, and went on to show his rower of
control, of administration and of govern
ment of men. Leaving this Mr. Marshall
touched upon the greenback question, and
"during his remarks rtferred to the inno
cent, hard working man Burtt, who he
said it was reported had spent -more sinew
and muscle whipping school children than
any man in the ooun'y, He then proceed
ed to show by illustration the result of a
further issue of paper money. In refer
ring to the "nigger"question he said that
the lower, meaner' and more degraded a
white man is,'the louder he will be found
to ery down with the "nigger." Mr. Mar
ahall spoke for one flour, and throughout
he was listened to attentively and frequent
ly applauded.
C. W. RobboEsq., was the next speaker
and was followed by John H. Kerr, Esq.,
both of whom made able and telling though
necessarily short speeches, after which the
meeting adjourned. 1 •

The Original Diamond Front grocery and
produce house of Mcßride deleorge, No.
ld7Federal street. Allegheny, has just re
ceived it fresh stook of choice family
groce
ries, to' which they invite the attention of
their many wholesale and retail patrons:
This house has long enjoyed the repptation
of selling nothing but the Tamest' articles

stow their patronage will be fully convinced
that due efforts are made to sustain the
high character earned. --
A ec ien.tifte gentleman residing a short dis
tance from the city has discovered larg e
deposits of cl
,; : ys and cements, which, com
bieed in cer t a i n
_proportions, make an ad
mirable equivalent for stone or brick, and
as some experiment& show; can be made of
- various colors or tints:: Several burned
and unburned specimens io show that they
are capable of u.selor building purpose.s in
either state are left at the office of the
GAZETTE and may be. inspected. The
ingenious gentleman who has detected the
remarkable capabilities of these materials
has succeeded in effecting the purchase of
the land containing them, but needs aid
and co-operation in utilizing them, and
authorizes us to say the inducements to
investment are quite remarkable, that
properly worked the manufacture of the
brick or stones, suitable lifer all kinds of
building and very durable, would richly
reward the enterprise of the parties who
may now avail themselves of a most advan
tageous arrangement. We commend' this
subject to the attention of contractors and
builders.
Hutebison's re
v applauded, the
Most Bitters of the present day that are
loudly puffed through the newspapers as
having great curative properties are vile
compounds and base impositions, contain
ing no medicinal virtues whatever, and are
really very poor whisky beverages, and,
instead of acting as a stimulant and tonic,
have a tendency to weaken the stomach by
entirely destroying the coating. The public
should therefore be very cautions and pur
chase none but Roback's Stomach Bitters,
which have stood the test as a remedial
agent for many years, and are really as
their name indicates, a stomach bitters and
not a beverage. They combine the proper
ties of the best tonic and a stimulant—a
laxative,
an efficient and anti-bilious agent
and the best stomachic known to the world,
and-when taken in conjunction with Bo
back's Blood Pills, are the safest and surest
preventive against all bilious derangements,
thoroughly regulating the whole system
and giving . tone to the digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an in
vigorating tonic to mothers while nursing,
increasing the flow of milk, and for cony*.
lescents, to restore the prostration which
always follows long-continued sickness,
they are unsurpassed, No household
should consider themselves safe from the
ordinary maladies without these invaluable
Medicines. They can be obtained of any
druggist. TrsF

GLYCERINE TOILET SOAP,
=
PETER SQUIRE, 277 Oxford street' London
This Soap has been, by a peculiar process, freed
from the excess of alkali almost invariably found
even In the purest Soaps, and at the same time It is
made to take up a large quantity of Glycerine (40
per cent). It is to tnis latter substance that it
chiefly owes its soothing quality—softening the skin,
preserving the complexion, preventing chapping
and the unpleasant roughness experienced In cold
weather.. It Wound moat useful In alleviating the
irritation produced by dryness of the skin. On ac
count of Its great purity it reetnumends' itself to all
persons that stiffer from the use of common Soaps;
for delicate skins it is the only Soap that can be tol
erated. It is particularly useful for cleansing dB
. eased skins, where the irritation produced in ordi
nary Soaps causes so much inconvenience. It is the
most agreeable Shaving Soap that can be used, leav
ing the skin soft and comfortable. The Soaps usually
sold as Glycerine Soaps containlittle or no Glycer
ine. It is only necessary to apply the tongue to the
surface and the genuine will be distinguished by the
sweet taste. Agent,
