THE VOTE OF NEW YORK.
The Evening Post concedes that New
York will be the most sharply contested, of
altthe States in the Union," but that SEY
MOUR will be defeated even with thevote'of
the Empire Statein his favor. But the Post
itemarks:
No Reputilican journalist or politician of
good judgment has in his own mind con
ceded this State to the Democrats at the
November election. The National and
State nominations were made with refer
ence to obtaining a majority in New York.
'There is no doubt that the Republicans
will elect from three-fifths to two-thirds of
the next Assembly, and almost the same
proportion of the Congressional delegation,
This narrows down the contest to the State
and electoral tickets.
As to these latter, our cautious and well
informed cotemporary proceeds to express
the strongest confidence that the personal
popularity of the Republican candidates,'
the perfect concord of all shades of opinion
within the party for their support, and the
vigor.with* which our friends in the city
have organized for this canvass, will, alto
gether, ensure success. Much, if not all,
depends upon the vote of the city itself.
LOOK OUT: (
The Baltimore American states that parties
of men have been sent thence to Pittsburgh
"under pretense - of getting \work, but
really to be colonized as voters in October."
The Harrisburg Telegraph, of the gab; also
iii
'e understand that a lot of Marylanders
passed through here laSt night for the pur
pose of being scattered\ through - Pennsil-
Imola to vote the Democratic ticket in Oc
tober. Westmoreland bounty was their es
pecial destination, in order to defeat the
Hon. John Covode. Lei the Republicans
take notice.
Our challengers should scrutinize evet
strange face, and object to every vote whit i
justifies the slightest suspicion. They should
also Lee that the record of these challenges
iLi kept with minute particularity for stibse
,4nent use. We have been instructed as well
by former experience as by the confessed
glesperation of the opposition tactics, this
„year, that they will stop at nothing, in.their
efforts to secure tile defeat of Republicans
whose efficient patriotism has rendered them
obnoxious to the party of rebellion. The
Democracy which . upholds and honors the
niurderjrs of CASEY, in Clearfield last
year., is not likely to hold back at any i
Branner yillainy.
THE CONGR E SSIONAL "NOMINA-
TIONS
During the past Week th' nominations for
Congress for the full tem were completed)
on both sides by the action of the Demo
crats in the Ninth district, and the action of
both the Democrats and Republicans in the
Eleventh district. Only the nomination to
fill the vacancy in the Twentieth District,oc
casioned by the death of FINNEY, remains
to be made. On the Republican side S.
NEWTON PETTIS has been named in Craw
ford county, hilt the district conference has
not been held; nor have the Democrats
made their selection.
In the Ninth the Demodrats nominated
RouT. CRANE for the vacancy occasioned
by the death of STEVENS, and H. B. SWARR
for the long term.
In the Eleventh District VAN AIIKE I N se
cured a nomination, the attempt to super
cede him at the-end of his first terin. by
SAAt'L- DREHER having failed. The Re
publicans nominated Jon3 l i TORREY, •of
Wayne county.

It may be remarked that, on the whole,
the Republican nominations are not as good
as those made two years ago. There are in
stances of improvement, but in the aggre
gate the new names do not represent as
much ability as the, old ones. The differ
ence is quite marked. This is a fact' spe
cially to be deplored in the existing condi
tion of public affairs - : Nor have the Demo
crats done any better in this particular; but
their remissness is of comparatively little
consequence, as few of their candidates are
likely to be elected.
Two years ago the returns of the Con
gressional election in this State showed the

In the First District RA2ODALL, Democrat,
had a majority of 4,164, which it is not
reasonable to suppoie will, be overcome, es
pecially considering that the Navy Yard is
there, and that Secretary %%ELLES will do
all he can to ensure democratic success.
However, BERRY, the Republican candidate,
is not only acceptable but personally popu
lar. He will materially reduce RANDALL'S
large majority.
In the Second, Third and Fourth Districts
O'NEILL, KELLEY and TAYLOR are respec
tively secure. The City of Philadelphia, as
the case now stands, will certainly 'give a
Republican majority of 3,500, which the
Soldiers' demonstrati on of the current week
will inevitably swell, perhaps to twice that
number.
The Fifth District is a close one, TAYLOR,
Republican, receiving only 456 majority
two years ago. His renomination imparts
an assurance that the ,district will not now
do worse than it did then, and may do
better.
The Sixth Distrid is Democratic by 2,500
majority, and it will ; stay at about those
figures. It may be remarked, however,
that the mining counties, last year, showed
a reduction of Democratic majorities, and
the same result may be discloSed in Schuyl
kill this year; but we do not-count upon it.
In the seventh District, TOWNSEND 15
certain to succeed BROOMALL, both Repub
licans. -
In'the Eighth District, GETZ will unques
tionably be re-elected, his last majority
having been 6,189; but Berks codnty holds
$8,000,000 of Government bonds, mainly
among its farmers, a majority of the holders
being Democrats. It is not rash to calculate
they will retaliate for the assault made upon
them.
In the Ninth District DICKEY will get a
majority considerably larger than Mr.
STE,vElcs had ten years ago, which was
5,623. Fourteen millions of bonds were
taken in Lancaster county, mainly by far
mers. If Mr. STEvENa had lived he would
have been reluctantly re-nominated, out of
respect for his past services. If he had been
ten years younger, and had survived, he
would have been dropped, or else we do
not read aright the auguries that came from
his constituents.
In the Tenth District, Cake, Republican,
will increase his majority from 215 to at
least double that number.
In the Eleventh District the result_will be
about what it was ten years ago, when VAN
AUXEN, Democrat, had 6,786 majority. He
isa respectable man; totally without quail - -
fications for the post he occupies, and7Ob
tained it only by virtue of the rule which
provides that whenever a district is cem
posed of more than one county, each i lof
them shall furnish the member a ratable pito
portion of the time, whether they present
suitable men or not: In the order of rota
tion the candidate' was due to Pike county,
and there is no , Democrat liVing in that
county fit to serve in Congress. The honor
was claimed for the least objectionable man
they had, and that man was VAN Attic El.
TOiiiiEv, the Republican candidate, is
man -of considerable natural but undii
viloped abilities, cold, opinionated, •repel•
lent ant' conservative, but with an ,ample
fortune; is, as a matter of course, destitute

of the elements of personal popularity which
would enable a different man to reduce the
Democratic majority.
In the Twelfth District the Coffee-ground
brigade have headquarters. WooowAno is
.not popular, and on a fair poll ought to. be
beaten by STRONG, who is ; but it would be
preposterous to expect an honest election in
Luzerne county. Susquehanna, the other
county of the district, will do better than
usual. It may be stated that while DENNI
SON'S majority, two years ago, • was 2,006,
Mr. WOODWARD, , last year when he was
chosen fo supply, the vacancy caused by
Mr. DENNISON'S death, had only 287 over
KETCHUM. What Mr. WOODWARD'S ma
jority will be, will 'depend on the amount of
cheating. On the square, Susquehanna can
more than balance Luzerne. -
In the Thirteenth District Mmicuu will be
re-elected by an increased majority.
In the Fifteenth District SMALL will re
duce the Democratic majority, but not
enough to let him in.
In the Sixteenth District CESSNA is hav
ing a hard tight, owing to Democratic colo
nization from Maryland. His competitor,
KIMMEL, is popular and indefatigable; but'
in both those particulars CEssNA labors un
der no disadvantage. In a fair contest,
there would be no doubt about his case. As
it is, we believe he will go through with a
handsome margin. If he does, and shall
be retained by his constituents, as he doubt
less will be, he will become one of the most
conspicuous and 'useful members of the
Pennsylvania delegation.
In the Seventeenth District, MORRILL will
be re-elected. •

election i:.i heyond controversy.
The present delegation stands seventeen
Republiminis to seven Democrats. It is pos
sible the Republicans may lose two mem
bers, and l khe . Democrats gain two; in
which case the delegation will stand fifteen
,
to nine. That is the largest thange that can
be reasonably claimed by our opponents.
We by no means concede that these two
changes will occur in their favor, but only
that they are possible. The popular cur
rent is with the Republicans. While the
Deinocrats gain by naturalizations
largely, the Republicans gain quite
as- much from the young men who
vote on Age, two-thirds of whom
go with them. Educated under the disci
pline of the war, their generousand patri
otic impulses' lead Ulm to take their places
in the Republican ranks. Besides, the. Re
publicans are receiving numerous accessions
7
from De ocrats•who are engaged in active
businesS and who mean to do what they can
to prevent the financial revulsion-invoked
upon the country' by the Democratic plat
form. These accessions will increase rath
er than diminish up to the day of the elec
tion. : -
The Republican majority on HARTRANFT
and CAMPBELL, in the counties on the
western side of the Alleghenies, will not be
less than fifteen thousand,- and may mount
to eighteen. Whatever it may be, it will be
just about the Republican majority of the
entire State; the eastern counties being bal
anced between parties.
But, with such a majority in October, a
much larger one will be sure in November.
Past experience shows that it will be
doublet], at the lowest. This shows the im
portande-of securing every vote pOssible for
the Republican candidates in October.
Republicans of Pennsylvania ! the omens
are auspicious. Push on the work in the
fortnight that remains.
The Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency is to addresS our people to-day.
Will he favor his audience with his views
upon the_following points
Ist. Is it the fact to-day, as it was on the
30th of June last, that "the• reconstruction
Policy of the Radicals is the real and only
issue in this contest" ? •
2d. Is it true to day, as in June, that "it
is idle to talk of . bonds, zreenbacks, gold,
the public faith and the public credit" ?
3d. Is the "real and only question con
trolling the DemoCracy, that of restoring .a
government overthrown by usurpations" ?
_
4th. Is the Constitution only to be re
stored "by having a President who will
execute the will of the people by trampling
into the dust the usurpations of Congress
known as the reconstruction acts" ?
.sth. Is it true to-day that 'these "usurpa
\:,
ti ns" can only be overthrown "in one
way, and that W I for the President elect to
declare these acts null and void, compel the
army to undo its usurpations at the South,
disperse the carpet-bag State governments,
allow the-white people to reorganize," &c. ?
6th. Does he still propose to have these
"reforms" accomplished by Executive power
only, Prithout the co-operation of Congress?
7th. Does he still propose to ignore or
override one branch of Congress, or how
does he l l - impose to secure the, equal co-ope

that wo an's rights were an issue in the can
vass ? by is it not mentioned either in
his Brodhead letter or in the New York
platforl
Our p ople desire to be enlightened on
these points, and will not gratefully accept
any disk ppointrnent of their just expecta
tions. I heyunderstand Gen. BLAIR to be
the offiei• 1 embodiment of certain doctrines
whicha rge number of his fellow-citizens
regard a• revolutionary and directly endan
gering t e public peace. They know, as
well as that every rebel who wore the
gray sup6orts Gen. BLAIR as his candidate,
him as "the, instrument whom
expressly appointed" to the
regardin
they ha
end Um, the "lost cause" may now
be rega ned. He knows, as we all
know, that in the election of himself
and Mr. SEYMOUR, upon the platform which
they occupy, the rebel South expects, as
Gov. VANCE declared, to secure "all that the
Confederacy fought for." He knows that
the questions involved in reconstruction,
and the methods by which he and his
friends propose to overthrow existing leg
islation are the real and only issues of this
canvass. He must therefore percieve that
any evasion of these issues in his speech to
day will be as disgraceful to the party
whose honor is entrusted to his keeping, as
discreditable toe frank and fearless man
who dares to avow his opinions and knows
how to defend them.
We wish to do General BLAin no injus
tice. We implore him not
,to be unjust to
himself. lie is reputed to be a gentleman
of candor, veracity and honor. He is tic- .
credited with a good military record. He
has achieved the distinction of having
shaped the politics of a great party, being
himself selected as their exponent. We beg
that he will not slight the intelligence of
our people by sinking " the real and only
issue "—the issue " upon which he wished
to stand" in the Convention which thereaf
ter nominated him—in his remarks to-day.
We trust he may be able to satisfy our
people that he has the higher traits of intel
lectual ability, as well as the more inferior,
—that he has the brains to explain
and 'defend , positions which he had the
inventive originality and the soldierly cour
age to propound. We ,trust that his speech
to-day will be such, in manner and matter,
as to disprove the common understanding
here prevalent, that he has been brought to
this section, in the leading strings of a com
mittee of guardians, to counteract, by some
vague and' mild platitudes of inoffensive
speech, the decidedly unflivorable impres
sions which have condemned him. Let him
shake oil all such entangling restrictions;
for no one doubts either his ability, his cour
age or the character, of that violent issue
which he holds dearest of all in this canvass.
Let us hear the bold and dashing soldier to
night, not the crafty and mousing politician.
INDIA\ TROUBLES.
The accounts we have been receiving
! from the Far West during the past quarter
indicate a terrible state of affairs in those re
mote regions of our country. The Indians
have taken thewar path, and with all the
atrocity characteristic of their race. have
visited their vengeance on the pioneers who
I have struck their squalid tents beyond the
borders of civilization. The plain recital of
their outrages on the whites without any
coloring of fiction or fancy is sufficient
to-chill the blood with horror. Few persons
can realize -the reign of terror existing
amongst the white people-who have estab
lished homes away out in the West, from
the conduct of the red men. If the awful
truth were brought closer home to them
there would be less sympathy felt for "noble
Lo," who has been done up in prose and
poetry, colors and statuary, as the Aoul of
honor and nobility, by those who
„have
never seen one outside of a mu
' scum. They are savage by instinct;
as deceitful and treacherous as cunning; as
dishonorable„ and wicked as barbarians
could well be. They will remember a kind
ness only so long as tit,- benefits therefrom de
rived may last, and will scalp a friend with
as much grace and ease 'as they would toma
hawk a foe. They are cowardly to an ex- '
„treme, and are as loth to go a visiting . to the
happy hunting-ground as the more intelli
gent whites. Their dash and courage is
only exhibited when they can dart upon in
ferior numbers, or weak women and chil
dren, for they never will attack a force,n-u
-iiierically, stronger than themselves. They
stand as a great barrier to the empeopling of
the far West, and so long as they know
neither the power of law nor the prompt
ings of humanity, they will continue to
retard the settlement of lands and the ex
tending of the line of civilization.
A gentleman who has just returned from
Colorado and Wyoming, where he spent
several weeks, furnishes us with the most
horrible picture of afiltirs in those neigh
borhoods. The people are virtually living
under ground through fear of the savages.
The soldiers at the different forts have sub
terranean passages and quarters, and feel
powerless ton afford the proper protection to
those who look to them for it. Murders
without number are daily committed by the
Indians, and they make no choice in the
selection of their victinis, killing men,
women and children. One case, the murder
of a boy, was attended with such awful
cruelty and atrocity that we cannot furnish
the particulars, being too shocking for publi
cation. Our informant, like all other per
sons who conic front the seat of trouble,
secs but one course for the Government to
pursue—the rigid ride of life for life, and
the extinguishment, if necessary, of the
entire race if they fail . to conic to terms and
live in peace with those who haye, carried
the plow to their hunting grounds.
- There is something wrong in the admin
istration of Indian affairs, and no remedy
will be had until the bureau having charge
of them is abolished and the business turn
ed over to the War Department, where it
properly belongs. Without, however, en
tering into any discussion of the causes
which lead to the Indian depredations of the
West, we see the importance of the Gov
ernment putting forth a strong arm to re
store peace on our western borders and pro . -
tect those who are unable to protect them
selves. Give PHIL SHERIDAN men enough
and plenty of ammunition and he will .
prove the most successful Peace. Commis
sioner ever sent out to treat with the Abo
rigines.
General SCHOFIELD, Secretary of War,
has arrived at the conclusion that the strong
arm of the Government should at once be
levelled against the Indians, as trifling and
halt way measures have proven of no avail
in dealing with them. In this opinion
President JOHNSON - coincides, . and it is
highly probable that active, vigorous war
fare will at once be entered awn against
the savage tribes.
PENI)LETON AND, THE NEW RE.
HELLION. ,
A letter from Mr. G. H. PENDLETON, to
a citizen of Texas, advising the rebels of
that State to place a law of Congress at de
fiance, has just been printed. It is seen
that he deliberately urges his friends to dis
regard an express enactment which is valid
law throughout the Republic, as much so in
Texas as in Ohio. This enactment excludes
Texas, Virginia and Mississippi from the
Electoral College this year, as having no
organized State governments in accordance
with the Federal Constitution. Sir. PEN
.
DLETON advises resistance to the eicluding
Act, in the following letter
"BANGOR, Me., Aug. 21, 1868.
"SomEns KIN - I.:EY. Esq., Houston,' Texas
—My Dear Sir : Yours of the 2d inst.,
dated at Brownsville, was forwarded to me
from Cincinnati. In reply, I have only to
say that you cannot urge too strongly our
brethren of Texas to stand by the National
Democracy, and resist all Radical attempts
to abuse you. My heartfelt wish Is that
you may succeed in your new undcrtaking.
AVe are making a last fight for constitutional
liberty, and the signs of the time indicate a
Democratic triumph hitherto unknown.
yield not a scintilla of your honor. There
ts \no room for compromise. About your
being allowed to vote, be not alarmed; we
shall see that Texas is represented. Vote, by
all means. Send me your paper to Cincin
nati. I will write more . fully to-morrow or
the.day after. Yours truly,
GEO. 11. PENDLETON."
NOT A BOND HOLDER.—The Utica Herald
alluding to Mr. Seymour's declaration that
he never "dealt in bonds or banking of any
kind," says that Mr. Seymour was a direc
tor in the Onedia county Bank from its or
ganization, in 1836, until it organized as a
National Bank. The Herald asks the ques
tion, islit probable he held that position for
that length of time, and "never dealt in
bonds or banking of any 'kind?" It will be
hard work to make the people believe that
Mr. Seymour is a truthful man.

HAS SUMMER ENFEEBLED YOU?
Nine out of every ten to whom this question is
addressed, If they answer it candidly. will answer
it in the aillrmative. Some may reply to It from a
alck bed; others, of a stronger co .stitution and
greater powers of endurance, may only experience
a slight lassitude as the consequence of the torrid
season. But some portion of the vitality of all hu.•
man being's oozes out of them under the pressure of
great and continuous heat, and the sooner the loss
15 completely repaired, the less susceptible will the
system be to the unhealthy Influence of the Fall
malaria.
The most genial and wholesome tonic that has
ever been offered to man—as a means of recruiting
his exhausted strength, and fortifying him against
the attacks of disease—ls HOSTETTER'S STOM-
Atli BITTERS. Taken at this season it Is a per
fect safeguard against intermi.tent "fever, bilious
affections, and all the epidemics which follow etc/0e
upon the expiration of the Summer. — lt is an invig
orant and alterative without any of the drawbacks
which attach to mere stlmu ants, and is the only
preparation uf the kind which a conscientious phy
sician would feel inclined to prescribe for ladies In
delicate health. Nothing can be more pure, more
harmless, more certain to restote the vigor of Inc
system permanentlp and thoroughly, without exci
ting the pulse or the brain.
DISEASED LUNGS
There Is no donut whatever that di.enses of the
lungs, or ulcers of whatever sort, on any of the In
ternal organs may be and are frequently cured, and
a complete condition of health established. if the
elaborative functions, of which the stomach Is the
primary and most Important one, ar- restored to a
condition to do the repairing of the human system,
ulcers or sores, whether upon the lungs the liver,
the kidneys or the bowels, or upon the legs, as is
frequently the case, can be maue to heal, and a
complete standard of health re-established.
We have frequently seen these results from the
use of Dr. Kh:YSEit'S LUNG CURE, a pleasant
and agreeable In, dicta°, which 'will ripen up and
carry out the animal economy all effete and used up
material. Dr. KEYSER'S LUNU CURE is enrich
ed by some of the Most valuable plants and herbs
known to be useful anti curative lo all deteriorated
states of the human blood, and whilst It adds to its
plasma, It at the sane time stimulates, gently but
effectively, the skin,tha kidneys, the. liver anti the
glandular System to suinclent action to edable the
body to take on healthful action and eradicate the
distaFe. The slut and afflicted should bear in mind
the virtues of title great medicine, and If those who
are sufficiently alive to the importance of health,

GIZANT ON TIM PACIFIC COAST.—The
Alta California says: The Democratic
newspapers have sufficiently amused them
selves and their readers by circulating a
great deal of • nonsense about Grant's career
in California, and his reputed pranks at
every obscure burg in the State. To set at
rest all disputes as to where Gen. Grant Was
stationed when he was on the Pacific coast,
we make the fo:lowing extract from his mil
itary record, as given in 'Cullum's "Regis
ter of Graduates of the Military Academy,"
which work is conclusive authority :
"Served at Benicia, Cal., 1852; and on fron
tier duty at Columbia Barracks, Oregon,
1852-3; and FOrt Humboldt, Cal., 1854; re
signed July 315t,•1854." •
•
THE new Senator elect, Dr. Miller, of
Georgia, claimed for Seymour a few weeks
ago, is now set down for Grant, on the
authority of Joshua Hill, his Republican
colleague.
