- _RON. J. G. BLernit, Chairman of the Re
*publican Committee of • Maine, sent last
'Monday night 'the following dispatch to
Gen. GRANT at Galena :
"Maine, stands by you in peace as she
stood by you in war. She gives Chamber
lain 20,000 majority to-day, and will give
you 30,000 in November."
UNDEI3 Democratic laws ' ten years ago,
the laboring man worked twelTe hours per
day for not over seventy-five cents• Now
he works ten hotirs per day or leis, and is
paid one dollar and a half. And, both then
and now, he never sees the Federal tax
gatherers, or hears of them except in Demo
cratic speeches.
Tits National Banks in Pennsylvania
paid,last year a State tax of 2.32 per cent.,
and a Federal tax of 2.29 per cent., in all a
- tax of 4,61 per cent. on their entire capital.
With the new Democratic doctrine of equal
ity in taxation, this "oppressive burthen"
upon the banks would be largely reduced, a
part of it being shifted over on_ to farmers'
and - workingmens' homes.
THE Democratic journals throughout the
country, now so earnestly engaged in damn
ing withotit mercy the "outrageous order'
issued by the Radical Mayor of Pittsburgh,"
providing Tor the arrest of- ladies found on
the streets after certain hours of night with
out male companions, show good judgment;
but would it not be; well to enforce on their
editors that our, city is now under a Demo
craft administration? The order was is
sued not by a Radical Republican Mayor,
but by a full fledged Democrat.
Tim Ohio delegation in the present Con
grers consists of sixteen Republicans and
three. Democrats, the latter being CARY,
MUNGER and V TRIISII'. Our friends in
that,State are confident that CAnY will be
beaten by STEVENSON this year, and that
the Democracy will have but two members
from Ohio in the XLlst Congress, represent
jug thehth and 12th districts; as now. Our
majorities in the 2d, Bd, 6th, - Bth; 9th, 10th
and 16th districts may not be large, but will
be sufficient. In other districts which we
• now hold, our candidates will have majori
ties ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 each. -• The
two Democratic districts are; we fear, hope
less of_reclamation. The,only really doubt
ful district in the State 'the 18th, _which
has recently been contested, Mt' DELANo
finally ousting, ,Cumberbind Gap MORGAN
from,the seat.' The latter is again a can&
date, but,we think and hope, will be Ireton
by Coorka, the Republican competitorovho•
combines every element of popularity Inhis
,
favor. Such h our estimate of y the result
among tuJ as for betting, that , had
better be left 13D#R040/P P6111:0P4-',
THE LIGHT IN THE EAST
'The aggregate vote of Maine last 'Monday
is now reported at 133,000, with a Republi
can majority of 23,000, which the final re
turns are more likely to increase than di
minish. Tlie vote thus divides upon 78,000
Republican and 55,000 Democratic, and its
total is some 14,000 more than ever before
cast in the State. This conclusively proves
than an extraordinary effort has been made
by the opposition, in the hope of reducing
our majority, and securing a favorable reac
tion in popular sentiment at the 'elections in
October, in Central and Western States.
Their tactics have been unsuccessful, thanks
to the fidelity with- which the people of
-Maine have maintained their attachment to
the cause of the Union, and to their intelli
gent comprehension of the one great sole
issue in the canvass, the preservation of
our Representative Institutions, or the sub-
stitution in their stead of a Presidential
Dictatorship. As Maine has spoken, so the
Republic will declare.
RECONSTRUCTION-WHAT IS IT I
Upon the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Ar
ticles of Amendment to the Constitution,
Reconstruction and ail the laws passed by
Congress to carry it into effect are based.
What are they? The Thirteenth says that
"neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude
except as a punishment for crimes, whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States or any
place subject to their. jurisdiction." Section
first of the Fourteenth "guarantees the citi
zenship and equality before the law, of every
person." Section second, "Representatives
shall be apportioned among the several
States according to their respective numbers,
counting the whole number of persons in
each. State, excluding Indians not taxed.
Eut when the right to vote at any election for
the choice of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States, repre
sentatives in Congress, the executive and
jtidiclal officers of a State, or the members of
the Legislature thereof, is, denied to any of
the male inhabitants of such State, being
twenty-one years of age andsitizens of the
United States, or in any way abridged, ex
cept for participation in rebellion, or other
crimes, the basis of representation therein
shall be reduced in - the proportion which
the number of such male citizens shall bear
to the whole number of male citizens twen
ty-one years of age in such State."
Reconstruction is nothing more or noth
ing less than the foregoing. Wherein is it
wrong or unjust? Let the following fig

for themselves

Here, first stated, are ten States with a
white population of 4,265,017 entitled to a
representation in Congress of fifty members
in the House and twenty members in
the Senate, total seventy, while in
the second there are seven States with a
white population of 6,084,678 all of which is
required to secure alike number of (fifty)
representatives in the House' nd only four

. Here we have two States with a white
population of 1,896,300 more than States
enumerated, but they are only entitled to
fifty members in the House and four in the
Senate, total fifty-Tonr. What matchless
oppression and tyranny ?
So much for population; it speaks for it's
self. But to elucidate the matter further
look at the number of votes cast in the res
pective States (South Carolina estimated,)
in the year 1860 :

These figures show in the first comparison
that 711,835 votes in teu States elect 50
members of the House and cast 70 votes in
the electoral college, while 1,457,726 votes
in seven States elect a like number and yet
have only q 4 votes in the electoral college.
n Ithe seeond instance that nearly an equal
population land vote in three States elect 36
members to the House and cat only 42
votes in the electoral college, while the ten
poll 70. • In the last case two States with
1,105,981 Votes elect 50 members to the
House and yet can poll but 64 Votes in the
college for President.
The facts demonstrated by these figures
cannot be gainsayed;•they shot how and in

construction acts are "usurpatoiy and un
constitutiOnal, revolutionary,/ = null and

The BoStoll Pilot, the Influential organ of
Irish Catholicism in New England, thus
nails the Democratic slander, which - the
Pittsburgh Pose has so often repeated, against
,ScnnYmn COLFAX as formerly a Know-
Nothing. The Pilot says:
"A. correspondent of ours at South Bend,
Indiana, Thomas McElratb, who is not a
politician, says that the charge advanced
against' Schuyler Colfax of having been
sworn into a Know-Nothing organization in
1854,-iknot true. He further encloses to ns
an extract from a speech of Mr. Colfax' at
South Behd, July 30, 1868, relative to this
very charge, to which the Speaker responds
thus: 'You imow it is a falsehood; you
know that never in my public life, fr,lin
the'commencement to the close,in any year,
month or day, have I held any other doc
trines than that principles awl character,
not, birth-place and creed,_ were the truest
test for official promotion. Men who may
resort to forgery may sign my name with
their felonious fingers, for a forgery is fe'o
ny. You here know that there has not
been an election for the past twelve. years
that I have not gone to the polls, not with
a closed ballot, but an open one, and voted
for men of foreign birth, and who wor
shipped at a different altar from what I did
myself. "Here is the only place where I
will answer that calumny; let it be buried
in the tomb, where are buried calumnies
and fOgeries like it, in the graves of the
past.'
We'must wait a long time before BLAIR
could be as handsomely and completely yin

Know-Nothing oath, word by word as sub
scribed by him at St. Louis in 1854, was
printed by us a few days since, and the
record stands uncontradicted.
TILE Democracy of Indiana, despairing of
success in the inauguration of Southern an
archy, have initiated a small rebellion in
their own ranks. The Chairman of their
State Committee havin. , e , been removed from
t
that post, bec use he was peculiarly a friend
of 3lr. PEND TON, and another 'Chairman,
a Hirsinticxs man, appointed, the" former,
who also edi s an influential journal, has
taken out of hia paper the', Democratic State
ticket and oPened a bitter campaign against
the dominant faction. We perceive, also,
that Dr. W. S. PIERCE, a prominent Demo
cratic leader for fifteen years past, is very
bitter against gEYMOITR and BIAIR and goes
strong for G 4 NT and Peace. The Indiana
1 Demotracy plainly see the signs upon the
wall.

THE TRUTH—IN BLACK AND WHITE.
EDS. GAZETTE: 311',J, Jerry Black, as
presiding officer of a Deniocratic meeting in

the 'Republican par.y, made use of the fol

Now was Judge Black Ignorant of what

having constant recourse to the

flagrant falsehood to the people of York,
knowing it to be false ? Let him take either

'Ali indignant Irishman of Cleveland, Mr.
DAVID BARRY, publishes a card in the
Leader, of which we annex the, closing
parapraph :
"But drunk or sober, joking or in earn
est, Mr. Frank Blair will find out to his cost
that the St. Louis "Finnegan" speech will
prove the sorest thorn in his side when the
final returns come to be footed up. As an
Irishman I here declare that I would as
soon vote for that arch-traitor Jeff. Davis,
or Benjamin Disraeli of England, as for a
man who could so heartlessly- trifle with
the most cherished feelings of our race. '
and
gentlemen, I will go still further, and say
that the Irishman who can tamely swallow
down such an insult to his country and her
heroic efforts to be free without resenting
it at the ballot-box next November, is desti
tute of all public spirit, dead to the claims
and sufferings of his motherland, and is
anything but an honor to that proud, de
ftimt, sensitive old race whence he sprung."

An Irishman's View 'of the Bond Question
The Decatur (Illinois) Gazette reports
the following conversation, that occurred
between a prominent Democrat and an
Irishman of that city, recently. For con
venience it designates the persons as Jack
and Pat.
Jack : How do y 'u like tile Democratic
platform ?
Pat : I can't un erstand it; would you be
after explaining it to me—all about the bond
question ?
Jack : Oh, yes, v i ith pleasure. You see
the rich men own all the bonds, and the
poor men have to pay for the bonds.
Pat : The deyill ye say ; is that the way ?
Jack : Yes; and now the Democratic
party propose to pay off the bonds with
greenbacks, and thus- everybody will be
treated equally.
Pat : Is that our platform ?
Jack : Not in so many words—but
that is what it means ; and now, Pat,
I want you to do all you can for our
party—bring out the boys to all the meet
ings, and—
Pat : Hould on, Jack; will yer paying the
bonds off in greenbacks make the poor man
as rich as the bondholder ?'
Jack : Not exactly ; the bondholder
will have his greenbacks where 'ye can tax
them. AA
Pat: Then there will bbl all greenbacks
and money will be plenty, and we'll git
- gould for our greenbacks, if we elect Sey
mour ? -
Jack : Not exactly; there is not gold
enough in the country.
Pat : Thin we are not to have gould at
all. How in the divil are ye goin' to pay
off the greenbacks ?
Jack : A part of it will be paid off by tax
ation,
the money we take from the people
for revenue and stamps, &c., and as the
greenbacks get warn by constant handling
we will print new ones.
Pat : I see; you propose to take the debt
now carried by the rich bondholders and di
vide it among the people, rich and poor
alike, by forcing the bondholder to spend
his money for property.
Jack : Exactly. You are learning fast,
and you see—
Pat : Hould on—an idee strikes me. If
the government debt is all in greenbacks,
and thim in circulation, how many cords of
'em will it take to buy a cord of wood?
Jack : I cannot exactly say what they
would be worth—that will regulate itself.
But, by the by, Pat, could you pay me that
little note you owe me? It was due yester
day, and I need the money very mucft..
" Pat: Yes; I know the note is due, and
I'll pay you according to the dimmecratic
plattorm.
".Jack: What do you mean? •
" Pat: I mane I'll give you a fresh note
for the one ye have.
"Jack: There's nothing about giving
fresh notes in the Democratic platform.
" Put: Yis, ye said we pay the bonds in
greenbacks, and both of them arc promises
to pay of the same Government, Ye's give
one promise to pay for another one, and I'll
give you a fresh promise to pay or the one
ye have nOw. -The note you hal , e now says
tin per cint. interest; the new e will say
withoilt interest, and no time set for its
payment.
the
But this an individual atter, and
the other Is a Government matter. You
honestly owe me and promised to pay me
yesterday. Your proposition is_ to cheat
me out of my money.
"Pat: An t It's chatin' ye out of your
money, is it ? An' haven't I as good a
right to chate ye as the Government has to
chate the widdies an' orphans whose money
is all in government bonds ? I'll pay ye on
the dimmecratic platform !

The New York Tribune says : We say to
you, then, Republicans, throughout the
North and South, not one of you can do
your whole duty by staying at home until
election day, and then going to the polls
and voting. By this apathy you may de
feat your ticket in some of the_.. tates. We
need your power and personal co-operation
from this time forth until the day of elec
tion. If you are a returned soldier, orga
nize with your comrades, and make your
presence felt wherever loyal men and true
gather. If you are an able bodied man,
and prefer peace to war, lathiest labor and
industry to riot and revolution, law and
order to rebellion,: turn out in procession
with those Who bdlieve as you do, and keep
step to the music of the Union. Your pre
, Bence is power. Your absence is weakness.
Raise the pole. Unfurl theflag. Carry the
torch. March. Be one of the great hosts
of treedom and truth, and you have done
your duty.. Hold back, and,- despite your
vote, the blame of our defeat may rest in
part neon you.
During the approaching two months the
watchword of Republicans must be Action,
Action. The time even for discussion is
rapidly passing. The need for it is less im
perative than the demand for energy on the,
part of those who are fully with us. Let us
have from these, public demonstrations of
our numerical strength on a grand scale.
Let Republicans attend our meetings, and
take part in every_public demonstration, not
merely from curiosity to hear the speeches,

NOVA Scom.—Some idea may be form
ed of the intense excitement tbat now pre
vails in this province on the subject of its
separation from the other confederated col
onies, from the fact that a report was cur
rent in Halifax on Friday last that a Gen- ,
eral in the United States Army had offered
to send fifteen• thousand troops to assist
Nova Scotia in breaking
away from the
New Dominion. The contrast between the
present love exhibi:ed towards the United
States and the conduct of the people during
the rebellion of our Southern States, is a
striking illustration of the rapid change of
public opinion. The whirl' ig of time has
brought its revenges is In noo.•
The Late U. A..Flimey, M.. 0
Mr. Finney was a native of Vermont, bnt
chose Pennsylvania as his adopted State
when quite a young man. He graduated at
Allegheny. College, in Meadville, about
1841, and soon after commenced the prac
tice of law in that place. He always took
an active part in political contests, ably and
most earnestly advocating the policy of the
Whig party while that party existed, and he
was on one or two occasions its candidate
for the Legislature, but necessarily unsuc
cessful, as Crawford county, was then largely
Democratic. He was one of the early
champions of the Republican party, and was
chosen to the Senate in 1855, in the present
district of Erie and Crawford. He at once
took a high, position in the Senate, and
was confessedly its ablest member du
ring the six years of his service. As
chairman of the Finance Committee he
fully sustained himself as the leader of
that body, and on all legal and consti
tutional questions he was the master-mind
of the 'first legislative tribunal of the State.
He was re-elected by an overwhelming ma
jority in 1858, and served one term as
Speaker. In 1868 he was nominated, after
a protracted contest, as the Republican can
didate for Congress in the Crawford, Ire
nango, ,Clarion, and Mercer district, and
was elected over Gen. A. P. McCalmont,
the strongest Democrat in the district. His
health had been gradually declining for sev
eral years, and he was scarcely able to take
his seat at the early session of the present
Congress, and soon after its adjournment
he sailed for Europe in quest of health, only
to find that his disease was beyond human
control, and that his constitution was hope
lessly broken. After nearly a year of con
tinued suffering the end was reached, and
he lives only in the faithful memories of his
many devoted friends. He was a man of
purest character, of the sternest integrity,
and of most faithful friendships and gener
ous impulses. Few of our public men in
Pennsylvania will die, so widely and soslin
cerely lamented as -Darwin A. Finney.—

Letter From a Georgia Clergyman
* * * * We are still under the black
cloud of a Negro Slavery Confederacy.
The scenes are= similar to those which we
passed through in 1861. H. Cobb and R.
Toombs are stump-speaking all over the
State of Georgia, intensifying thelninds of
the people on secesh principles, and we are
rapidly driving into another destructive
war. The people are in a worse condition
than they were before the war. It is im
possible for this Government to stand.-
Strange as it may seem, men are made
worse by becoming members of the Church
than they were before. The Southern
Methodist Church made Negro Slavery •of
Divine origin; it became a religions tenet;
and all its abominations were sanctified. A
man might blaspheme the holy name of
God, and it would only draw a smile; bilt, let
a man declare himself anti-Slavery, and a
coat of tar or a ride on a rail was sure to
come. Ten years before the war, I came
very near catching this treatment for read
ing an abolition newspaper. They sacri
ficed their children in the war for their
slaves, and taught them that it was a religi
ous duty, while the slaves were at home
well cared for. And if I did not give the
only boy I had, 16 years old, I was a Tory,
a traitor. If Seymour and Blair are-elect
ed. we (Union men) expect to have to leave
tide South. We are willing to become.hew
ers of wood and carriers of water for our
Union friends in the North. lam hated
, and abused from morning until, night, but
all this does not move me.i I am determin
ed to hold on to the truth if I burn down at
the stake for it. lam persecuted because I
am a peace man, and for my friendship to
the down-trodden black man. I thank God
to-day that I have not put any discoun
upon any of His creation.
-DR. SARGENT'S BACKACHE PILLS
Are the most efficient and most popular Diuretic
medicine known, removing at once any obstruction
of the Kidneys, subduing intiamation and strength
ening the Urinary Organs.
Dr. Sargent's Backache Pills
Rave bet n In are 35 years, and are daily perform
ing wonderful cures. In many instances where pa
tients were unable to walk upright or to rise
without assistance, they have been relieved by a
single dose.
Dr. Sargent's Backache Pills
Cure all diseases of the Urinary Organs, the sytop
toms of which are 'weakness and pain in the back
and :oins, pains in the Joints, difficulty in voiding_
the urine. general debility, &c.
TEE EDNEY'S, BLLDDER, &CI:,
Are those organs through which most of the waste
or worn out particles of the body, passes; these
worn out and dead particles are poisonous, conse
quently when these organs are diseased the whole
system becomes deranged, and if not relieved at
once the result may be fatal. ,
This much esteemed and most efficient medicine
Is the only diuretic that Is put up in the shape of

HAPPINESS iDEPENDS UPON GOOD
DIGESTION.
"Weakness of the Stomach" Is the source of more
evils than were contained in Pandorss' •Box. De
bility, headache, nervous tremors, palpitation of
the heart, and local pa'ns inn merable, are its
direct consequences. It obscures the intellect and
gives birth to the most absurd and incoherent fan
cies; I capacitates a m In for business, and renders
persistent exertion next to impossible. Yet. strange
to say, ind'gestion Is the most neglected of all ail
ments. And this is the more extraordinary from- -
the fact that an absolute, infallible specific for the
disorder can be obtained in every city, town and
village of the United States.
lIOSTETTER'S STOitACH BITTERS takes as
wide a range as the malaay which it cures. It per
.vades every civilized portion of the Western Beat-
Isphere,,and Its celebrity as a tonic and alterative
is everywhere established. It is due to the common
sense of the American public to say that the demand
for it is immense, and continually on the increase;
bat still thousands c ntinue to suffer from dyapep
di, with the great fact staring them in the face that
a remedy for it exists, as it were, within arms
length of every suite ere Such is the inconsistency
of human nature I Day by day, however, the num
.lser of those who manifest this insane Indifference
• to their own health and comfort dins ini , hes. and
the time will come, it is confidently believed, when
the disease will be expelted from the category of
preialent disorders by this incomparable alterative
and restorative.
CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KE SElt,
of this city, on the various diseases of the a r, he
says that nine out of ten Cuss could be on ed In

responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, well
tnown aural surgeon, who isySs "I fear not o re•

mer occasions, that It the disekee of the ear re as
well studied or understood the general y of
