GOLD closed in New York yesterday at
CONGRESS -met yesterday and ordered
another recess until October 16th, when.:
unless otherwise ordered; the presiding
officers 'shall adjourn both Houses to No
vember 16th.
Tn Poet maintains a profound silence
upon the topic to which the State Guard
called its attention. For a few weeks, at
least, it will prpbably be less clamorous con
cerning Republican extravagance and ra
pacity in legislative bodies.
Tam ceT and accompanying matter
which we copied, yesterday, lite r ally from
the Tusctloosa - (Alabama) Monitor, were
disrelished exceedingly by the Democrats.
All we have to say is that if the Southern
friends of SEYMOUR and BLAta will pint
such cuts and such
well
into their
newspapers it is well for Northern people
to inspect them.
WHILE 31.. a. B. F. CABi, during his
recent visit here, was careful to protest, both
in public and private, that he had no con
nection with, or sympathy for, either of the
great political parties, the Post, in review
ing the various points made by him in one
of his addresses, does tot hesitate`to affirm
that""in all these thines we are happy to
find General CARY in accord with the Demo
cratic party !" This is one form of acknowl
edging that the political movement of which
`hells the representative, is only a dodge to
lead Republicans into the Democratic ranks.
The dodge is now understood by the Repub
lican working men, and consequently has
- lost its power to„geceive them.
ON4mE_occasion 'of the recent editorial
excursion to the terminus of the Union
Pacific Railroad the editors participating in
the very pleasant — affair formed a Rocky
Mountain Press Club, with Hon. C. A.
DANA as-President, and a Tull complement"
of officers. At New York the entire party,
some thirty in number, sat for a group pic
ture at GURNEY'S national headquarters for
fine pratograp . hs; No. 707, Broadway. We
have just received a copy; which is a mas
torly effort and without exception the finest
specimen of the photographic art that has
ever been seen in our city. Every portrait
is perfect, and although covering much
apace, there is neither blot nor blemish in
`the work. We marvel not that GURNEY
takes first rank in American photography.

4RE, YOU Af:6E
Remember that the 'period f r assessment,
for the October election, expiies on. Satur
dayi October 3d, at midnight. Without
you are assessed at least ten days before the
election, and your tax paid before you go to
the polls, your vote may be challenged and
must then be rejected. Let every voter
heed these reqtirements of the law and secure
his own qualification in good time.
THE DEMOCRACY DEMAND "more cur
rency." This, notwithstanding we have
$069.000,00 0 , or $27 per-head for our total
-population; England has averaged only $l7
per head for several years past. It is not
more currency which the DemoCracy want;
their only aim is to destroy the value of
what we already have.
TirEcontradictory and unprincipled par
tizanship of the Democracy,is illustrated by
the fact that their National platform, advo :
eating •the taxation of bonds; was adopted
in July, although a State Convention of
the same party at Albany only a f9w months
before refined by, the nearly unanimous
vote of 103 to 18, to favor that taxation. In.
that Convention, the Democracy of New
York city, through Jonii B. HAskis, pro
tested against the new doctrine, that it
would ensure the loss of the State by 70,-
000 majority, and that they would lose
votes even if they talked about it. Yet
VALLANDIGIIAM, PENDLETON and FORREST
ultimately forced them into this fatal posi
thin. The result will be that HAsxn's
prophecy will be made good !
THE DEMOCRACY propose to take off the
present taxation on "spirituous liquors,
tobacco, incomes, stamps, legacies, salaries,
banks, railroads, S:e., gross receipts of
Telegraph, Express and Insurance Com
panies, passenger - receipts of railroads,
steamboats, stages, lotteries, theatres, fines,
penalties, pianos, gold watches, I jewelry,
gold and silver plate, carriages,' billiard
tables, patent Medicines, and a few other
articles in schedule A," and put 'it on all
property alike. The list above given com
prehends the entire system of our internal
taxation, and yields by estimate, this year,
$157,000,000. Observe that the income tax,
$35,000,000, is all paid by only 2.1q13-1 - per
sons out of 36,000,000 of people. the
people-in favor of relieving the "oripressive
burthens" of the wealthy and laxurious
few, and taking that loa — d — on their own
shoulders, taxing lands and and every
thing alike? Answer at the polls. \
WHEN HORATIO SET3IOUR was 'Gover
nor of New York in '64, a proposition was
made to'pay in greenbacks about a million
of dollars in interest upon certain State
bonds held in Europe, the law under which
these had been issued not having specified
the currency in which the interest should be
paid. The Governor officially denounced
the proposition, saying in his message of
April, '64:
"When we sought the markets of the
world with our securities, we pledged our
selves to redeem them in the currency of
the world. The partial negle , tof plighted
faith last year is now to be followed iby an
open refusal to pay any of our promises ac
cording.t , their plain sense. The di'sgraee
of last year.was limited; it was kept ' I
with
in ourselves; now our shame and dishonor
are to be Lorne in the face of the world,"
He also took the -unprecedented step of
sending a circular to - private bankers and
rich men of the State, pleading them
to pay the coin by voluntary subscription,
and adding :
"Unless this be done the honor of New
York is lest. In wealth and numbers, in
the ability to pay, New York gstands far
above any other State in the Union. Other
States, inferior in means, do not find the
obligations of the hour. too great for an
honest performance. If New York falters
now, it can claim no indulgent opinion of
the world—the State brands itself with dis
honesty."
Yet now, at the bidding of a rebel and
repudiating majority of the National De
mocracy and insanely deluded with the
hope of an election to the Presidency, he
abandons his more honorable' record, and
identifies himself with their proposition for
a flagrant breach of public faith, 'brand
ing" his State, his Nation and !himself
"with dishonesty." Such is DeMocratic
consistency and principle!
"TAX TUE BONDS," will you, my Demo.
cratic friend ? - How ? By State lays? The
Supreme Court, in seven adjudicated cases,
says No. Moreover Congress, .by act of
February 25th, expressly prohibited
this. By Federal' laws then ? -This would
be equally a breach of implied faith. Nev
ertheless, by common consent, these bonds
are already taxed, under Federal laws, high
er than any" other description of property.
Observe the facts. We have $1,900,000,000
of six per cent. bonds; of these $600,000,000
are held in Europe and you can't touch
them. Of the other._ $1,300,000,000, your
National, banks hold $425,000,000, , and pay
taxes thereon already, State and National,
on stock, and profits, capital, &c., over 4 310
per cent., being higher than on any other kind
of property., The savings banks hold $176,-
000,000 and are also taxed for all purposes,
State, National and local, in all of the States.
The same is true of the life, fire and marine
insurance and annuity companies and other
corporations, which, all together,liol4L-5 - 5,-
000,000. Moreover, every stockhofdet tin
these companies and every holder of bonds
otherwise pays an income tax. Thus the
bonds contribute more in the way of taxa
tion to the Treasury than any other descrip
tion of property. If you are sincere in your
demand for equal taxation, you will relieve
them from more than half of their present
burthens, and assess that amount upon all
the property of the . people. Better 'let well
enough.alone ! You are getting now over
$18,000,000 per annum, from the National
Banks alone, on only one-third part of the
entire amount of $1,300,000,000 of bonds
held in this country, whereas, by your
"equal taxation" at a uniform rate of one
per cent., you would only get $13,000,000
from the whole. If your "unitbrin rate of
equal taxation on all property" is to heinore
than one per cent., so much the worse for
the owncrs of small farms and homesteads
in town:or. country,

Rendered desperate by' the issue of the
Vermont and Maine elections, 'add learning
therefrom, moreover, that their party gains
nothing by a flimsy disguise of the real is
sues, the Democracy have unmasked their
last battery upon the. financial question,
and boldly avow the correctness of the
`charge which has been made against them
by, -- the friends of the Union. We have
proven plainly and often that their real de
sign is to repudiate all the pecuniary obliga
tions incurred in the defense of the Repub
lic, but, hitherto, they have dodged, pal
tered,.equivocated and attempted to deny
this logical consequence of their proposi
tions. As they find that this game don' ,
win, they now scorn further concealment
and run up their true colors. The doctrine
for to-day and the residue of the canvass is
proclaimed, in the clearest language, by
two distinguished leaders of the rebel-De
mocracy, whose declarations arc now before
us. Mr. JESSE D. BRIGHT, a former Dem
ocratic Senator from Indiana, but now liv
ing in Kentucky, was the chairman of tlie
Kentucky Democratic Convection which
nominated the ticket elected in that State
last month. The*sterling-nature of his De
mocracy, or his prominence as a leader of
the party, are not to be denied. In' hit;
principal speech, as chairman of that Con
vention, he took this ground in relation to
the public debt :
He was opposed to the war front the be
ginning to the end. In COngrOS he denied
the right of the !government to declare war
against! a sovereign State. (Applause.)
He also! denied the power of the Federal Gov
ernment to issue paper money to cut the
throats of the Southern Stales. (Cheers.)
He never intended to vote to pay a dollar of
the principal of the debt. (Cheers.) He Was
opposed to paying a dollar of the national
aebtincoin. He would, if Dennicrats so
thought, vote•to piy the debt in paper, and
then lei the paper take care of itself.
(CheerS.)
Says BRICK POMEROY; especially indis
putable as high Democratic authority:
Th's financial problem is too big a thin
to be handled, except in one way. This
whole debt has got to be sponged out.
Whilki one of these gentlemen demands
repudiation at once, by "sponging out" the
entire debt, the other would reach the same
cmtby 'Mr. PENISLETON'S plan of "paying"
off the I debt in paper, and then "let the
worthless paper take care of itself." They
propose the same end; and 'differ only in
the degree of directness with which they
would approach it. BRIGHT'S recommenda
thins were loudly applauded, while Pom.E
itos.:s bolder and more honest utterances
have-been universally read and endorsed by
the Democracy. BRIGHT'S revelation of the
Democratic purpose was made in Kentucky
two months since, the rebels of that State
being as heretofore, the authorized pioneers
of the Democracy in all that relates to re
bellion, of which repudiation is an essential
element.
Let none of our friends, therefore, forget
these authoritive and honest interpretations,
from leading Democrats, of the real signifi
cation of the vague and, cloudy 'generalities
with which the New York platformlhas hid
den the real purpose of repudiatkin. Let
us accept them for what they are—frank and
defiant acknowledgments, upon high Dem-
oeratie authority, that the party, which op- i
posed the war for the Union and still reiter
ates its undying hostility to the results, so
cial and political, which that war has victo
riously accomplished, will, if restored to
power, "sponge out" all our honest obliga
tions as a people, repudiate our debt, repeal
our pension laws and close the. Treasury
against tie payment of another solitary dol
lar to the patriotic citizens who gave of
their blood and their wealth to uphold the
old flag.
Trampling the Constitution as. amended
under their feet, they will no longer be pre
cluded by the XlVth article from "spong
ing out" as well the debt, the pensions •and
the bounties which are now claims upon
the national honor and its gratitude, 'as all i
other claims of the same nature, to be incur-' I
red in future wars for the defense, of the
Union against doinestic traitors. It is for
this reason that the adoption of that Amend- 1
ment is so distasteful to them, -As • General
BOWIE, a Maryland Democrat, said, the
present debt—and he meant these pensions
and bounties as well—was in, the view of
that party "incurred for an unholy and
wicked purpose ;" so they would invalid
ate future expendituies, because -it is their
droned purpose to be rebele again, and they
hope that a threat of this sort would dis
courage the friends of the Union from :tiding
it when assailed. ,
The Democratic Platform, Which embod
ies Blames insurrectionary and treasona
ble menaces, together with such insidious
but fatal assaults upon the duty and ability
of the Treasury to meet all the honest obli
gaticins of the war-debt, is in each of these
features thoroughly consistent. The sane
end is kept singly and steadily in view,
whether in bearing down and crushing loy
alty by the brute force of powder and ball,
by the bayonets of the soldiery 'whom the
next Democratic Presidential Dictators is
to march from Capitol to Capitol of the re
constructed States of the South, to put
down the starry banner of-freedom and re
place the lost cause and its rebel friends at
last triumphant; or in crippling the vigor
of loyalty in its struggle for the right, by
assailing its Mon - ell - try resources, which
in all ages, and among all people, lave been
regarded as the sinews of war. How long
for example, could the Republic have strug
gled on, with what hope of ultimate tri
umph, had its appeals to the wealth of the
people in '63 been met and effectually
silenced by any conviction that no • mon
eys loaned to the Treasuryi_ would
be repaid ?• True, there were heard
then, here - and there not a few
traitorous threats, that there ) should
be no repayment of these contributions, but
these were notheeCed, for the great mass
of our people were too loyally an unit to be
diverted from their patriotic_purpose by any
distrust of that National honor which they;
were then resolute to preserve, What the
rebels and their Democratic symputhNers

unconstitutional and void, so each and all
of these results, including every dollar of

can doubt, who remembers all the violent

_BLAIR down to Parson WEEms, that the
Alabama editor has bit the exact idea of

that it means, if successful, nothing
else but anarchy, civil war, unbridled license
and outrage, the proscription and death of
all friends of the Union, and the re-estab

of Pittsburgh, each voter will - deposit two
tickets.
1. One ticket embracing the names of all
State officers [voted for, and to be labelled
"State."
2. One ticket embracing the names of all
County officers to be voted for, including
Senator and members of Assembly, and
member of Congress, and to be labelled
"County."
- In all the districts inclUded. within the
present limits of the City of Pittsburgh,
there will be these two tickets and three

candidates for City Councils to be voted for,
and to be labelled "Councils."
5. One ticket embracing the names of, all
Schifol Directors and other :Ward officers
to be voted for, and to be labelled "Ward."
This last ticket will include all candidates
not embraced above.
THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN
The misgovernment of a depraved and in
capable woman has resulted in another
Spanish 'insurrection: The information
now at hand is meagre and inconclusil e; it
warrants, however, a belief that the revolt
•s not, provincial, as in several instances
heretOfore, but that it comprehends all sec
tions of the monarchy, and assumes the dig=
nifled and grave proportions of a national
effort to throw off a disgraceful and thor
oughly despised yoke. Rumors that the
Queen had left the kingdom and even that
she has abdicated the throne accompany the
first announcement of the outbreak. All
things are possible in Spain, as it 114 been
ruled for two generations, and it is, there
fore, not improbable that.thelast Bountiox
remaining upon an European throne has
been deposed. This dethronement would
create scarcely a ripple in Continental poli
tics, but the settlement of the succession
may involve the peace of all Christendom
beyond the Atlantic.
IN each of the- rebel States, except two,
there is a large majority of white people and
white voters. So much for "negro su
premacy" !
The present Constitutions of the seven re
constructed States were submitted to and ap
proved by a majority of the people of each
State. In all the ten States, the white voters
registered but 37,075 less than the aggregate
Presidential vote of 1860,• and their voice
was emphatically in favor of holding Con
ventions. This meets the demand of the
Democratic platform — that "the citizens of
each. State shall regulate its elective fran
chise." If they wish to amend it still fur
ther, they shall do it under the forms of law,
and nut by the brute force of bayonets, led
by Ilrotrrutt and BLAIR.
TILE precise value of "special telegrams
to the New York World," and of the claims
of that journal to the possession of superior
facilities for obtaining accurate intelligence,
is exhibited by the New York 'Commercial
Advertiser thus :
The idea of such a shaky concern as the
World gong to all this expense, is decided
ly laughable, - - to say the least. A sheet
wile!' endeavor.: to make up its weekly de
li, its by eheating the employes of the es
tablislimnt out of their wages, which gives

the Associated l'ress, it:Wit very apt to make
extra tsttlays for "special" telegrams. Nvt
much
THE DEMOCRACY say the-public debt RIMS
be paid at maturity and not postponed. On
the other hand, the Republicans insist that
it shall be spread over a fairly prolonged
period for its redemption. Redemption, as
demanded by the Democracy, will require
us to pay $150,000,000 per year for the next
sixteen years, in addition to the interest.
Pennsylvania's share of this would be at
least $20;000,000; quadrupling our present
State taxation and to be collected, under the
new Democratic doctrine of "equal taxa
tion of all property," by an army of tax
gatherers, from every citizen of Pennsylva
nia. How do the people like that prospect ?
The litlpublicans demand that future gen
erations shall contribute to the payment of
a debt which has earned the preservation
of their liberties. SEYMOUR, in his speech
of March 11, '6B, said: "This debt should
fall upon the future." Pay the debt now,
mid it would take $60.46, per head of the
entire population; defer it to A.D. 1900, as we
advantageously may, and with our then in
creased population, it would take only S2G
per head. Again, SEyNtoutt was right when
he said, before the Presidency fatally teinpt
ed him : "Then, this debt will rest more
lightly upon greater numbers and greater
wealth than it presses to-day , upon depressed
industry and the depressed spirits of the
people." Thus the absurdities and the
wicked fallacies of the New York platform
are constantly confronted, by the recorded
utterances of eminent Democrats and by
the unanswerable logic of facts.
Ohio State Fair

TOLEDO, Sept. 21.—The Nineteenth Ohio
State Fair, now in progress here, is the lar

question, as they were tax-payers. The
village charter was quoted to show that
they were not qualified, - and the male tax
payers alone voted on the question. Dim
ing the proceedings one lady asked vermis
sion to say a few words in behalf of another
lady, a heavy tax-paver, who had just en
ten-d the room, hut she was declared 'out
of order.' A r. Wingat then arose and
said that sewral ladies had deputed him to
represent them, but he was hooted down
with cries of "put him out." Two gehtle
men then took the ladies' part, but they
were put down, and the ladies gave it up
for the present.

CHRONIC DISEASE!
In observations and notes'
of this city, on the various _ I ..fe ear, he
says that nine Out of ten cases could be cured In
their incipiency if app Mallon weru mm.e to some
responsible :out competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes from the opinion of Wilde, a.well
snown aural surgeon. who sty's: "I. fear not to re
iterate the as.ertlon which I made on several for
mer occasions, that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or understood hy the, generality of
practitioneia. and as early attended to as those of
the eye, It would be found that they were lust as
much withinlite pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness is so rommon and so distressing an In
firmity. and when of lung standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
tioners to make thrinse.ves familiar With the treat.-
meat of the diseases of the ear.'
The Dotter says that nearly all annoying •Dis-
charges, ituzaings and Morbid Growths peculiar to
she organ of the hearing, some of which hadlin-'
gered through it score or
two of years, ca be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
