COMPARE the charges made against the
Democratic managers here, last Saturday,
with the record made by leaders of the
same party, in Clearfield county, last year.
The tactics are the same; it is only a change
in the men. - - •
WORM ! REPUBLICANS, 'FORK ! if you
would not have the government of the na
tion go back into the hands of the rebels
who sought its life s and the government of
the State into the hands of men whose sym
pathies were with the rebels all through the
dismal years of the great struggle.
THE large payments for soldiers' bounties
will entirely cease with the close of the
present year. This will make a vast differ.
ence in the apparent expenses of the War
Department, since even an unscrupulous
opposition will then nolonger be able to de
claim against heavy expenses "for army
purposes," which are in filet chargeable upon
their Rebellion. -
IF ALL persons who may send returns of
the election by telegraph will be careful to
state whether the figures show a Republican
or Democratic loss or gain as compared
with 1866, what they send will be intelligi
ble. Otherwise the papers, on the morning
of the 14th instant will be flooded with dis
patches which will only perplex the read
ers. • Pray I bear this suggestion in mind,
and act upon it, I
STEADY, MEN ! Political parties 0.93 as

is the'point of danger the Republicans of

posed, is a plot at least half baffled, and fol

THE Post frets and fames, because, for
sooth, the Mayor of Allegheny has permit
ted a portrait of General GRANT to occupy a
place in his office. Well, the impudence of
our neighbor is decidedly refreshing. In
telligent Democrats who callat the Mayor's
office will not feel insulted by the presence
of the great hero's portrait; and those who
are ignorant and small-souled enough to
complain are generally found only amongst
the chaps who have little bills to settle with
His Honor, after a night's lodging in the
tombs. When ages shall have rolled away
and the memory of those now opposing his
elevation shall have long died out, the por
trait of the hero President, Gn.froim, will live
in the veneration of the people, for each re
turning century will add lustre to the bright
deeds of patriotism which marked the life of
the original. It is no shame‘o honor the
porttait of the Redeemer of his Country, not
withstanding the loyal to . st's assertion to
the contrary.
iurgh Post will "not tire nor
perplex Itst readers" with DELMAR'S figures,
but displays that blockhead's results in bold
face type;to wit : "Deficit in the Treasury
for the current year of U 54,339,202, which
must be met by further loans and increased
taxation:" All this is the merest stuff. No
such deficit will exist, and Secretary Mc-
Cum.ocri and the other Democratic officials,
whose honesty DELMAR has impiigned, will
presently make statements to show it, which
stateMents, we hazard the prediction in ad
vance, the Post will omit to publish, as it
did the powerful letter of General Dix the
other day.
But as to DELMAR'tti "deficit," the Treas
ury officials already announce that__ his
errors amount in the aggregate to over
$170,000,000, and that his alleged deficit
tiviil actupyturn out to be a surplus. DEL

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : MONDAY, OCTOBER, 5, 1868
BLAIR Vrent to Bedford•to speak last
Thursday, ---escorted by: the rebel General
Mcli.un, of Maryland. The crowd was
small=only two hundredjipersons being
present—but it embodied a pure and living
Democracy. This was proved in the fact
that even this small tea-party was strong
enough to surround all the available whisky
in the borough.
THOSE Republicans of Philadelphia who
labored lustily last year to secure the elec
tion of Mr. SHARSWOOD on the plea that he
was a man of superior ability and upright
ness, have found out that „they had then
much to learn as to his cliaracter. Now,
they implore the Republieani of the West,
whom they then insulted, to save them from
the consequences of their own-folly. The
lesson, by reason of its bitterness, will be
apt to do the Philadelphia recusants good..
FOR YEARS PAST. Democratic Prothono
taries of Pennsylvania Courts have not
failed, when wanted, to place the seals of
their respective Courts where the forgers of
naturalization certificates could convenient
ly put their hands thereon, and have then
turned away their faces complacently while
the abstraction was accomplished. It is full
time at least one of these official scoundrels
got into the Penitentiary in punishment of
his crime.
IT is rumored that SNOWDEN, Prothono.
tary of the Supreme Court in Philadelphia,
is to — be arrested and tried upon the alle
gations connecting him with the infamous
naturalization frauds recently exposed in
that city. Several good Democrats, who
have been arrested for, thieving, assaults,
ctc., were found to have a supply of papers
signed by SNOWDHN in blank upon their
persons, and it is only right that he should,
be called upon to explain this matter to a \
Criminal Court and Jury.
D. O'Sumay.kw, editor of the Irish
People, which has recently abandoned the
Democracy and come out for GRAIiT, pub
lishes a card in the New York papers,
refuting the libellous charge that he had
been persaaded to that course by a thousand
dollar bribe. He also states that snits have
been instituted against - the slanderers.
Doubtless. He would include the Pittsburgh
Post in the prosecution, if the game was
worth ; the candle, or if he ever hears that
such ijournal exists. What ideas of per
sonal honor must be entertained by these
Democratic journalists, who can find no
satisfactory explanation for a - change of
polities except in bribery and petty dishon
esty ! .
THE JUDGES of the several Courts in Chi
cago have instituted a much-needed reform
in the matter of naturalizing foreigners;
they have ordered that all proceedings for
the naturalization of aliens shall be had
only in open Court, in the presence, hear
ing and with the personal attention and su
pervision of the Judge, dunng the ordinary
hours of holding Courts, and that any in
fraction of this rule will be treated and pun
ished as a serious and grave contempt of
Court..
This reform does not come a moment too
soon. By the manner in which the Judges
have generally tdlowed the business of
naturalization to be conducted they have
brought themselves and the administration
of justice into contempt with all classes of
citizens,
"EQua.x. taxation of every species of prop
erty, according to its real value, including
government bonds and other public securi
es." '
When this Fourth Demand of the Democ
cratie National Platform" - was read to the
Convention it was received with deafening
applause. We thought then that in their
eagerness to tax the bondholders the Demo
cratic leaders were pushing very "sharp
sticks" into the masses of the people who
are either poor or only in comfortable cir
cumstances. They now see the blunder
they made, and some of them, like Mr.
Knourra., the candidate for Congress in the
Bedford district, have the impudence to deny
that the words quoted are in the New
York Platform. They forget that Ameri
can citizens are not ignoramuses, but read
and judge for themselves.
ME
OURROYS IN BLUE. -3. :
Allegheny County sent a battallion to
Philadelphia last week, over four hundred
strong, under the command of Major Mon-
GAF. NECELEY, SwErrzart and scores of
other officers who won distinction in their
country's service, were also in attendance.
THE WAY TO !JO IT.
Here and there we find a man who. says
he means to vote far GRANT and COLFAX
in November who is in doubt how he will
vote, if at all, in October. All men who
are in earnest to secure - the election pf
GRANT and COLFAX ought to understand
that they can help forward that consumma
tion in no way so much as by voting for
HARTRANFT and CAMPBELL OR the thir
teenth of this month. A decidedly hand
some majority forthe Republican candidates
at the State Election will carry the Presi
dential issue with a rush ? not only in Penn
sylvania-but throughout the Union.
A SQUARE BACK OUT
r For months, Democratic _ orators and
presses have been insisting that the Na
tional bonds shall be subjected to State tax
ation. They have at, last made a virtue of
necessity, and abandoned this position.
PENDLETON, at Cleveland, admitted that no
such right legally exi i sted, and now the Chi
cago Times of the 29th,-which is nothing if
not Democratic, and a thorough—paced
partizan, "acknowledges the corn" as fol
lows :
t , Creneral Morgan, of Ohio,an honest and
able man, and a Democrat Who did good
service in fighting the rebellion, said the
States could tax bonds; but' even he does
not now advance that doctrine, because
sundry decisions of the Supreme Court
have been adverse to It. The question is a
debatable one; but the Democratic party is
not now, and never has been, committed to
the doctrine that the States can tax the
Federal bonds." •
THE DOOR STILL WIDE OPEN
- - .
Among the latest conversions to the cause
of GRANT and Peace, are Hon. ROBERT H.
PRUYN, of Albany, who ran for Lieutenant
Governor on the Democratic ticket, with
HOFFMAN, two ' years ago; Colonel HALE
Knost.Er, who ran for County Judge in
Albany on the Democratic ticket; and the
gallant General THOMAS EGAN, of Phila
delphia, known as one of President Tonic
.
SON'S most intimate friends. Leading
Democrats in Baltimore, such men as
WALTERS and NEWCOMER, the Finance
Committee under Mayor BANKS, are now
betting at large odds tliat Guam , will be
elected; nor are they likely to vote very
early or very often against, their own bets.
Keep the doors wide open,, so as to admit
the crowd comfortably! After next week
we must knock a hole in the side of the
wigwam to relieve this pressure.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR.
The Democrats held almost continuous
possession of the government of Pennsylva
nia for the long period of more than thirty
years. When ejected therefrom, they left
the terrible legacy of a debt of nearly, forty
millions of dollars, and property of only
small market value to apply in cancelling it.
During the last eight years the Republicans
have reduced this debt by the sum of four
millions and a quarter of dollars, and have,
in addition, released all real estate within the
Commonwealth from taxation for general
purposes. The last year the land tax was
levied, it amounted to the large sum of one
million and , six hundred thousand dollars.
Mark! cras s done while the war com
pelled extraordinary disbursements to volun-
Led's, and for making provision for sickland
wounded soldiers. Herein is found evidence
of both administrative ability, of economy,
and of honesty. Business men whose af
fairs are managed in a corresponding man
ner, by the agents they employ, feel that
they can make nothing by a change, but
may entail incalculable mischiefs upon
tbemselvea by turning off competent and
faithful servants. Let the voters reflect,
and wisely resolve to continue the adminis
tration of public affairs in the hands that
have so far done pre-eminently well
PROTECTION FOR HONEST VOTERS.
The audacity of the "coffee-pot" brigade
has received an unexpected check. The
frauds which their Executive Committee
were able to perpetrate with impunity in
some of the central counties last year, have
been again attempted this year, and in. the
populous counties of Allegheny and West
moreland. The attempt has been filet on
the threshold, and the perpetrators are already
in the hands of Itho latY, which will deal
with them according to their deserts.
Pennsylvania is Republican to-day by
over twenty thousand majority, in any fair
and honest poll upon the State ticket. The
opposition know this, and accordingly have
determined to swamp that majority by the
most infamous and audadious frauds. Wit
ness the charges made by a responsible party,
as detailed in another colutnn; witness
the wholesale - scoundrelism of the Philadel
phia colonizations and naturalizations,back
ed up by the most prominent candidates of
their party, shielded by the unscrupulous
partizanship of eminent Judges, and aided
with the most criminal abuse of their offi
cial functions, by servants of the same ju
diciary; witness tile perjuries, briberies and
murder in Clearfield last year, and remem
ber that these men have been encouraged by
impunity to repeat their offences.
The Rvublicans of this State propose to
have a square and honest poll. If they'are
to be beaten by - these Democratic frauds,
they mean, to know how and by whom the
villainy is perpetrated. They mean to find
out, and that too without delay, whether
the purity of the suffrage means anything
more than an old woman's song,whether the
integrity of the Courts be as hollow and
shameless a farce as recent experience
would indicate, and whether this Common
wealth governs, and is governed, by law,or
whether it is to be surrendered, without a
struggle, to the infamous depths of public
dishonor and oMcial corruption a million
tunes more detestable than even the revolu
tionary 'anarchy of the South, which a
great party tramples upon la‘vs and consti
tutions every Whore to tottugoLAtv.
BLOCKING THE LITTLE GAME.
In our local columns, the reader will find
full details of the charge of an attempted
outrage, by the Democratic Committee, upon
the ballot-boxes, by "colonizing" the ad.
joining Twenty-first Congressional District.
This "colonizing" is done by sending into
a contested locality numbers of illegal
voters, foi the purpose of controlling the
result. This is easily done where accom
modating Assessors can be found; in rural
districts, where railways are to be built, the
facilities and t e temptation, to such un
scrupulous part zans as are our opponents,
are very great. This is the game which. has
apparently bee attempted, to ensure the
defeat of Hon JOIIN COVODE- But it
seems to have b en played ton boldly and
defiantly, and t e operators have suddenly
come to grief, r. COVODE having caused
the .ctrrest, on aturclay, of a number of
persons, whom, e holds responsible as ttie
leading partici ators. Prominent among
theie is the "De uty Chairman for Western
Pennsylvania" of the Democratic State
'Committee. Wth Lim, the arrests on Sat
urday included other citizens of this and
Westmoreland c unties, and all the parties
have been held to bail for a further exam
ination on Wednesday next.
It is possible that the accused parties
may prove their innocence of the crime
charged against them. We hope they will
succeed in doing so. But while we have
no desire to misjudge theluase, we cannot
do our whole duty without saying that ap
pearances are very strongly against them.
The clear statement of facts in Mr. Co-
VODEt'S affidavit, the well known desperate
and reckless nature of the Democratic oppo
sition to his re-election, the extreme proba
bility, that a citizen •of his marked pru
dence and caution, would not take this de
cisive step, which places the alleged offend
ers within the custody of the law, with
out ample and conclusive evidence of
their guilt, and the damning record which
other Democratic managers made for them
selves in the Clearfield region last year,
exhibiting their readiness to resort to any
degree of crime, be it fraudulent naturaliza
tions, the colonization of voters, bribery and
intimidation, or even murder itself—all these
justly prepare us for crediting the truth of
the present charges, in their fullest extent.
Nor should it be forgotten • that the person
mainly implicated, in hie own "card" pub
lished in the GAZETTE and Post of Saturday
morning, relative to another distinct charge
of the same nature, makes so poor a case in
reply as to leave little doubt of his system
atic complicity in this business.
Whatever may be his position and repu
tation elsewhere, the impression 'here is a
common one, irrespective of party, that his
temporary sojourn in Allegheny county as
"Deputy Chairman," &c., is for the express
purpose of doing up all such dirty jobs in
this quarter, for the Democratic managers as
may require personal attention and an un
questioning obedience to orders. He avow
edly comes here as the lieutenant of another,
and that other a bold intriguer who stands
convicted by sworn testimony printed un
der the authority of the Commonwealth, of
being an accessory to the crimes of perjury
and bribery, and, more than that,. polluted
with the blood of another eitiz.en Int rdered to
prevent an exposure of partisan built. If
the "Deputy Chairman" is not guilty of the
charges made on Saturday, let him mpke haste
to get out of bad company, wash his hands of
association with men from whose hands the
blood of murdered innocence neVer will
wash out; let him publish no, more "cards"
virtually acknowledging his complicity in
offences like that now charged against him;
let him forsake a position which, in public
opinion, might connect him with' every pos
sible wrong that the most infamously reek-.
less partizanship can concoct, to rob lawful
voters of their rights; and, finally, let him
abandon his temporary occupation in polit
ical intrigues here, and either take up a more
reputable calling, or go back to his own
county, where "his character is too well es
tablished to be Injured by such a- charge."
Allegheny can spare him, and proposes to
do so.. .
II::=
IMPORTANT tORRECTION.
A few days since, we inadvertently re
printed'a paragra - ph from the Philadelphia
Ledger to the effect that, according to a
dictum of Justices STRONG and TROMPSON,
sitting in the Supreme Court in that city, a
foreign-born citizen duly assessed and sub
sequently naturalized within the ten days
preceding the election may law fully" vote.
This is an error, since the point in question
has been distinctly and repeatedly decided
the other way. The point has been regu
larly raised, on the eve of important elec-
tions, heretofore, and uniformly the prac
tice has been to hold, Ist, that fife assessors
have no right to place upon their lists the
name of any man who is not legally quali
fied at the date of his application, and, 2d,
that no intention to perfect the applicant's
title to a vote, subsequent to assessment and
before the election, by final naturalization
or otherwise, could warrant the assessors in
enrolling his name. Judge ALLISON also
held as to the Ledger's paragraph, that :
It must certainly be a mistake,, and he
could not believe that either Judge Thomp
son or Judge Strong ever expressed such
an ci,Jnion as the newspaper shown 'dui set
forth. Tkey must have been misquoted,
for neither of them would deliver such an
opinion in the face of so plain a law as cited.
SI(EL 1 1111 r GRANT."
Listen to the crack of his gun, "for na

in the annexed letter to the Philadelphia

CORRUPTION OP THE COURTS.
The progress of the canvass has developed
in all parts of the State avast amount of fla
grant dishonesty in the issuing of naturali
zation certificates. Judges and Prothono
taries, in numerous instances, are guilty,
not simply of gross neglect, but palpsble
connivance at unquestionable violations of
the laws; deeply affecting the purity of the
ballot-boxes. In utter disregard of their
oaths and of the delicate nature of the func
tions they are appointed to execute, they
lend themselves to the vilest schemes that
the worst descriptions of politicians devise.
This is, indeed, harsh lanemage; but the
fault is not in the words but in the conduct
of the Courts which gives the words the
keen edge they bear.
This iniquity has gone so far that it must
be effectually stopped, or the people will
lose all confidence in the tribunals of public
justice, or, which would be deplorable, be
swept headlong under stress of exasperation
to take vengeance upon such of themes per
sist in offending.
The Judge or Prothonotary who allows
blank certificates of naturalization to be
hawked about, filled up at street corners or
in grog-shopi, deserves the worst punish
ment that can be inflicted on him at the
hands of an outraged community. Of
course, such retribution is wrong in itself
and in its tendencies; but these considera
tions do not touch the question of the desert
of this kind of scoundrels.
Nor is this all. , The Judge or Prothono
tary who will aid in this infamy, or only
wink at it, will take a bribe to pervert jus
tice in any case between individdal liti
gants. This is one of the causes of popular
discontent with the Courts. Under cover
of law, and with professions of peculiar sanc
tity, many of them embark every fall regu
larlyin datUralization frauds. There must
be a speedy end to this infamous business.
DUTY OF THE HOUR.'
Every Pennsylvania Republican who
heard the returns of the recent elections in
Vermont and Maine, and was •rejoiced
-thereby, perceived in them, if he listened
aright, a summons to himself to remit no
praeticable effort to secure an equally favor
able result here. So far as the destiny of
the Republic is concerned• those electrifying
victories, far at the east, might as well not
have been, if they are not followed up by
as memorable triumphs here and elsewhere.
The eyes of all loyal men throughout the
nation are now turned upon Pennsylvania,
and with the deepest solicitude. • • While a
defeat here would not be fatal, it would be
dispiriting. We do not anticipate a repulse.
On the contrary we are confident oe — so
grand a success as shall make the rest of the
campaign easy—a promenade rather than a
march.
The discovery of naturalization frauds
does not appal us. Such frauds have been
resorted to at every stoutly contested elec
tion for a long period. It has come practi
cally to this, through the connivance of the
Judges and Prothonotaries of Courts, that
every foreign-born man votes unless re
strained by a sense of personal honor. It
is likely to be so this year; but cannot be
much worse than ' that. The Democrats
have succeeded twice by such frauds ; but
have been beaten much oftener in defiance
of the worst they could do. They will be
beaten this autumn as badly as they ever
have been, if only the Republicans do their
wale duty, and we see no reason to doubt
as to that.
This is why we repeat the admoniticn to
activity and vigilance oh their part. Only
eight days remain. Republicans! give
these days to the country, and all will be
GEMS OF NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
We glean below a few specimens of
Southern rebel opinion in relation to the
Camilla' butchery :
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun hopes "that at
the next collision, sure and speedy ven
geance may seek and find the whites leaders
rather than their ignorant and deluded
dupes."
The Charleston Mercury hopes that, if an
other such affair occurs, it may be able to
"chronicle that every while man has been
Tbe Southern (Va.) Opinion declares
that the problem "will have to be decided
by arms, if not decided at the polls in No
vember by. the election of SEYMOUR and
BLAIR." It adds :
"Ballots are cheaper than blood, and elec
tions better than battles. 'But if Grant be
chosen, and we do sot misjudge him and
his policy, then the disciplined cohorts of
the South must be marshaled once more,
and the issue will be, shall white or black
men rule in the South ? When that issue
comes to the last argument, reposed in the
musket muzzle Find the bayonet's point,
whore will the poor negro be ! "
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEIN THEM.
Political pail les, and particularly in times
Of uncommon ferment, select their leaders
not so much by calculation as by instinct.
Said IlortATio SEYMOUR :
"If it is true that Slavery must be abol
ished to save the Union, then the people of
the South should be allowed to withdraw
themselves from that Government which
cannot give them the protection guaranteed
by its terms."
Said U. S. GRANT :
"Human liberty is the only true founda
tion of human government."
The differenoe between these utterances is
fundamental. The two speakers have no
marked qualities or sentiments in common.
Each party, by elective affinity, took the
one that accorded with its own aspirations
and purposes.
ACCORDING to the Pittsburgh Dispek4,
true Democracy consists in warfare against
Orphan Asylums. The policy which Ho-
RATIO SEyMOUR'S "friends" inaugurated 1/1
NEW York by burning an asylum over the
