Pacmaa's recent purchase of the Penn

for the aritluneticiana of that party. It
is undentood, / yeti generally by this
time, that the sum' paid to the delegates
for his nominatiCin, and to buy up those

pl,iSdged to givb to purchase his election,
'will foot up a total of about a qinrter of a

ing this sum to be rateably apportioned
among the' counties, what wilt be each

lem to those expert Democratic statistic,-
ians who figured last Year so accurately
on each county's share of the national
debt. The problem will not be so very
difficult, if they will bear in' mind that
each Democratic vote is to be reckoned
at about seventy-five cents.

Pennsylvania, where the entire body of

time for the hardmorking Democrats of
thole 'Counties to meditate upon the
burthen of last year's Democratic speeches,
whiekrang the changes upon the alleged
Republican policy 'of "grinding tha, faces
of the poor to pamper the , bloated'capital
ists." Let every Democrat, on going to
the polls, remember that his party have
already mortgaged his vote, to the richest
man in Pennsylvania, and that the price
has gone into the pockets of .a few score
of unscrupulous intriguers. When they
vote for PACKER because he is an over
grown enema, without any other special
recommendations, it will be the first
time that such an argument ever prevailed
with the masses of the Democratic party.
IF TICE Democracy had really intended
to make a square tight upon questions of
political principle, they would never
have, undertaken the canvass upon the
budget of contradictory demagogueisms
which is labelled as - the - Har

the game ! They intend to - buy their
way through thia year, with the
lavish expenditure of their nominees's
surplus cash, and the character of their
platform was really a secondary consid
elation. If "money makes the Mare go,"

The question is, •if the honest and hard

this way and led like lambs to the
slaughter, would six' shillings apiece,
under `a fair division of the purchase

corruption, any more than to this Impu

A LARGE OPERATION.
The honest and intelligent masses of
the Pennsylvania Democraky have be

which have, year after year, ensured
their defeat. They are amazed at the
folly of their leaders who have again
committed the party to the same old line

wild taik about "an unconstitutional

for a sound Democratic thrashing. They

THE DEMOCRATH: PLATFORM.
Whenever the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania are called upon to give formal and
authentic utterance to their professed prin
ciples and purposes, it is safe to conclude
in advance, that they will pander to all
prejudices current in . their own ranks,
and thus present a mosaic of declarations,
inconsistent with each other, and . resolv
ableinto no definite or conceivable sys
tem. The recent proclamation ofopinion
by their Harrisburg State Convention af
fords no exception to
,this pie, but is
strikingly in conformity to it. Let us
group, byway of illustration, some of the
resolutions, taking the eighth, fifth and
third of the series. We •• reverse their
order to facilitate our dealing with them.
The eighth resolution asserts the "equal
rights'," of, and demands "protection"
for, "naturalized and native - born citiiens,
at home andabroad." Thisis sounddoc
trine, according perfectly with all con
ceptions of genuine democracy, cornicirt
irg in all particulars with the averments
of the Federal Constitution as it stands,
and indicating exactly what should be the
practice of both the Government and the
people under it. This equality of rights
for all citizentis to be so asserted as to
"command the - respect of foreign
powers"' and "to furnish an example and
encouragement to ;people struggling for
national integrity, constitutional - liberty;
and individual rights." We see notlw
ing which we care either to add to, or
take from, that declaration.
The fifth resolution protests that lithe ef
forts now being made fbr the amelioration
of the condition of the hsboiigiman, have
our most hearty co.operation." Good,
again; and all the better 'because the
statement is as broad•and general as it IS
possible to make it. The idea embodied
in that resolution was the source of the
inspirtstkm under which we have acted
during thirty-five years of unremitted
-warfare against Slivery. There were
four millions of human beings compelled
to toil Under the constant incitement of
the lash, wielded by the, hands-of a doini:
nant and unscrupulous 1. We,
thought the condition of these laborers,
beyond' that 4,1111, :iitherig? demanded
amelioration. If the Democrats of Penn
aylvaiiie helped.te . tluif end; kingly
managed so to do it ; as not to .have their
good deeds known of men.
The third resolution opposes the attempt
.to give the negro the right ! , to vote; and,
hence, flatly contradict& the fifth and
eighth xesointiona.,Thistbirdresolution,
in substance ,that'th'eie'is no such
thing as "e quality of rights," and that it
is not simply impolitic, but infamous, to
reduce all men to a common political
level. No sturdy adheient 'of caste in
India; no hereditary aristocrat hi 'Great
Britain, ever asserted with mater em
phasis the thougnt that a fundamental
distinction exists between men, in virtue

that the blacks have, by nature and the
Constitution, no politicalligkits v ao that

tract, to just that extent, from the rights
of white people.
Nor is this kllr Stitir *hat an unadul

notion that when an cbuis of men are de-

missible---are part and parcel of that "la
boring man" in whose behalf you have
volunteered "hearty co-operation;" that
is, if by "laboring man" is simply meant
a "man Who labors." There may be an
occult Democratic meaning hid away un
der the words, undiscoverable to any
eyes but those of the initiated; but as we
are in'the outer darkness of . Republican
ism, we do not perceive it.
Every white , "laboring man" under
stands 611 well that the ballot in his hand
is his best protection. Give him that,
and he can manage to get on excellently
without any of those high-sounding
phrases which deceive all who put
trust in them. The reason is plain. The
mass,of all citizens are laboring men, and
have a community of interests with each
other. So long as they are voters the
destinies of the country are in their
hands; and they do not require either
guardians or patrons to see that they are
not encroached upon.
If the white "laboring man" needs the
ballot for , his protection, the black one
needs it much more. He has not only
poverty to contend against, but he has
likewise the most unreasonable and re
lentless prejudice that has yet been en
gendered in the breasts of ignorant and
besotted individuals, faCtions or parties,
The black is even denied the right to
work, except in the most menial condi
tions. He needs the ballot to gain for
him - that right, as well as for hii politi
cal protection.
The Democrats deny "equality of
rights" to the lowest rank of society.
This shows that proscription is not for
eign to their nature, but 'congenial there
to. If passion and bigotry favored,
they would-strike at the next rank above,
and so on, until all pretense of Demo
cracy should become se palpable and con
fessed an absurdity, as to be ahaztdoned
evermore.
We care nothing for the "glittering
generalities" under which this Demcl
cratic State Convention sought to hide its
mwting. It is opposed to "Universal
Liberty and Equality." It means exc:u.
siveness, proscription, paste. At against
such opponents the Republicans have
nothing to conceal and nothing to fear.
The grand stream of human, progress may,
indeed, be thrown into an eddy, but it will
not go backward. All over the civilized
world, and under every form of political
organization, the demand is for Equality
and Universal Suffrage. America has
led the march ,of progress thus far, and
will continue to lead it.
TEE PACKER NEGOTIATION.
It is stated that Asa Packer, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of Penn,
sylvan's, was nominated solely because
he is estimated to be worth 420,000,000.
Packer has ruithing,,to recommend him
but his bank account. He is old, infirm,.
and past his usefulness. Governor Geary,
the Republican candid.ste, has served the
country as a statesman and a soldier.
He is energetic and progressive. The
issue in the canvass in Pennsylvania will
be dollars, age, and imbecility against
brains, patriotism, and activity.
The Reading Times says : Judge
Packer was a e supporter and defender of
slavery before the , war—a peace Demo
crat and persistent Copperhead during
the war—and a Repudiator and Rebel
sympathizer since the war, and up to the
present moment. He is the best reprs
'ratanse man the Copperhead party
could have chosen to head their ticket.
If any , Union men vote for him on the
supposition that he will be "ell right" if
elected, they will find, themmtves very
much mistaken In case of his success.
The New York fiend thus curtly dis
poses of Wednesday's work at
berß;
"The Democrats in Pennsylvania have
nominated Asa Packer as their candidate
for Governor, Asa Packer would make
a good Governor; but the Convention that
'nominated him have hung a bob to that
kite which'will swamp him. They have
pronounced against negro suffrage, a prin.
cipla the Conservatives of Virginia ac
cepted is s positive Stet, and by the help
of that vote not only elected.: their
icandi
date for Governor, hot gave a death-sting
to the carpet'bagg ers and scalawags. The
Pennsylvania Democracy; in smouldering
Hiester Clymer; their old.candidate, 'have
only presented a new victim 'to be placed
upon the political seaffold - for ;the Geary
dawato peckat."
The Harrisburg Telegraphgives the fol
lowing inside view of the manner in which
Judge Packer obtained his nomination:
"The fact 4.VM'er , - A bliii placed one
_hundred thand dolieriat the.command
of his friends for the puipose , of procur
ing the nomination, was openly pro ,
claimed by the friends of Generals Can,
Hancock and. McCandless, and ' - not de
nied by those• who had the financial affairs
in charge. The uninstructed were boldly
approached, and it is positively , charged
that some delegates of influence' received
as high as five thotinitid dollars for their
vote and influence,. Sixty-seven votes
were needed to make the nomination and
these financiers understood their business
so well that they procured just that num
ber without fail on second ballot. They,
were determined that no more should tie
spent than was actually nec i essary, as they
-&d their work by the job.' - • -
The Reading Disputa thus forcibly
sums, up Judge Packer's claims upon the
people of. Pennsylvania
Judge Puttees.: name le Outlier all

meeting of the Convention that, their
candidate would' be nominated. /They
claimed that he would certainly receive
eighty votes on the first ballot. Even on

had covered well their tracks; but the
Packer Indians were after them, and
having captured one prisoner who, for a
bribe, revealed the' names of "all his
tribe," a secret treaty was opened, and
just the requisite number bought to nom
inate Packer. How much it cost we do
not know. One hundred thousand dol
lars, it is said, were on hand to be used
in case of necessity; but it Is not proba
ble that so much as that was needed, as
Democratic delegates are usually a cheap
commodity. In this case, however, it
was necessary to buy some who had al
ready been purchased by another candi
date, and for this reason a larger sum
was necessary than would otherwise have
been required. This is certain—no mat
ter what the amount, - had ten times as
much been wanted, it would have hen
forthcoming. Cass was to be defeated
and Packer nominated, regardless of cash
or. consequences. And the result was ob
tained.—Harrtsburg Telegraph. '
The Beauty of Parties.
Retrenchment, reform and the putting
down of political corruption, have always
been the favorite rallying cries of dema
gogues and knaves. The political trick
ster and prostitute, who does not possess
the semblance of honesty and virtue him
self is the readiest and quickest to at
tempt to blacken the reputation of others.
Charges of corruption and profligacy are
easily made, and difficult of refutation,
because always vague and indefinite.
The. "secret whisper, dark surmise" is
sufficient, now-a-days to destroy the good.
name of almost any public man, because
a wide-spread idea is prevalent that pub
lic morality is at a low standard. What
we would impress is, not to "bear false
witness against your neighbor," and not
to be too ready to believe what others may
allege. Too often interested`men, will
deuounee a man, because he will, not be
come.a party to their selfish schemeii, and
seek to destroy him because he Is honest
and upright. '
We would not insist upon the support
of a notoriously corruptand bad man, be
cause he has secured a nomination, yet
we would have Republicans pause and
very seriously consider the consequences
before they aided in the election of a
Democrat. If the Republican organiza
tion Is of any value to the conntry,it should
be Inflexibly maintained—and it cannot
succeed nor be useful, if it is to be weak
ened on account of the personal preju
dices of each individual member. Those
prejudices must sive way before the great
and important ends we would accomplish,
and if sometimes we doubt the propriety
or justice of the proceedings of the party
or the immaculate purity of its agents—
we should put all in the scale against De
mocracy, and see If the latter does' not
kick the beam. •
We do not believe that any good ever
came in any instance by deserting the the
Republican organization and aiding the
election of a Democrat We should like
to have the Post or the Tribune, or' "any
other man," point out a single instance
where the public morals were concerned,
the Public Treasury guarded, or the Re
publican party,purifieci„ by the election of
ti Democrat instead of a Republican ? In
fatuated Republicans, honestly intent
upon rebutting corruption, or preserving
the integrity of theparty haye often lent
their aid to defeat some objectionable Re
publican. The result has always been a
mm.table failure. Where a Republican
beccimes corrupt, a Democrat is daubly
so. All , experiiiice has shown this. The
Infusion of DetnOcraey into a putrid po
litical mass always deepens
_and doubles
its putresence, The facility with which
Democrats form rings, and adapt them
selves to, all the changes and combinations
of political dishonesty is a matter_of record
before the county. If a Republican Leg
islature gets a bad name, and is repud,
fated for a Democratic majority, in the
hope of , bettering theft morals, what has
been the univeiQ result? Let the history
of the late
,Nberork Legislature answer.
If a DemOcrat is Made a member of a
Board or' Com:dull:4 to act as check upon
the Republican majority, what has been
the effect? Why simply, that the Democrat
has shown a willingness and for
roguery, far in the advance of his Rep
ublican associates. The debauchery
which opportunity developes' in a Repu
blican, is instinct in a Democrat. To at
tempt to reform dishonest). by electing
Democrats , to. office, is simply absurd
and Impossible.

Geary at Lookout Mountain.
A Philadelphia letter'says: The Gov
ernor's ripe experience as an Executive,.
his world-wide military celebrity, his in
valuable services rendered to every por
tion of the Commonwealth during his
term of office, together with his advocacy
and practice of strict temperance prin
ciples, have given him a hold upon the
Republican party of the State which can
not be easily shaken. His re-election is
considered a foregone conclusion here,
no Matter who the opposition may select
at his opponent. I heard an anecdote
here to-day in relation to the taking of
Lookout Mountain which might be in
serted in this conne ction, and will doubt
less be interesting to your readers.
Geary has frequently 'been asked/ to
relate the circumstances connected 'with
the initiation of the capture of this fa
mous Mountain in 1863, but his known
modesty has made him reticent concern
ing his military record, and it' was only
recently that the ' following important.
chapter has been added to the history of
that eventful battle. I give ft substantially
as related by the Governor himself to a
personal friend. It appears that Gens.
Geary and Hooker were riding together
one day just before the capture of the
Mountain, in full view of it, bristling as
it was with rebel infantry and artillery. -
when Gen. G. remarked, 'Hooker,' (their
relations were of- that intimate character
that titles between them were always
dispensed with,) 'Hooker, I have a.plan
by which I can-take Lookout Mountain.'
'What is it, Geary?' asked Gen. H. 'No
man, Hooker,' replied . Gen. G„ 'can knotty
my plan of attack until I get an order to
take the Mountain. Give me the o:der
and then I will let you know
my plan, but ' not till then.'
Gen. Hooker, as his custom was
when fa deep thought, held hie bead in
an inclined position, as if closely examin
ing the quality of the hair in his charger's
mane, and so the two rode side by side
for more than a mile, when Gen. H. sud
denly looked up and said. 'By G—d,
Geary, I believe you are the man to take
Lookout Mountain—l give you the order.
You will move your division upon it to
morrow morning at daybreak. Now tell
me your plan of attack.' Gen. G., then
detailed the modua operand{ to his supe
rior officer, when Hooker delighted ex
claimed, 'You have hit the nail on the'
head, Geary—The Mountain Is ours r
The next morning, Gen. Geary fought the
battle of Lookout Mountain above the
clouds, and all know the grand result.
It will take more than ordinary Demo
cratic thunder to beat such a man. •
TnE Peoria Democrat is informed by
Major Elliott, who is largely engaged in
the grape culture in Illinois, that the fruit
this year is a total failure. The crop was
so heavily mildewed that scarcely a gape
remains upon the vines. Judge Bryant,
another large.trape culturist, says he may
possibly save enough for his family to eat,
but even that is doubtitil.
\ TRUSSES AND HERNIA. -
