Electoral Ticket.
The Lincoln and Hamlin Electoral tick
ets for this County are now ready at this
office. Our friends from the different
townships are requested to call and get
them at their earliest opportunity.
Every vote Out.
We hope that our friends will take par
tuular paina to get every Lincoln voter
out to the Election. Let every opponent
to Democratic misrule then, appoint him
'self on a committee, whose duty it shall
be to see that every one of our friends is
at the polls, at an earl vhour on Election
day; and also see that each one ii furnish
ed with the right kind of a ticket.
Monroe Democrat on Money.
The Monroe Democrat in recounting
the causes which led to the de'eat of his
party, accuses us, in this section, of using
xoouey to effect that very necessary result.
But, a usual, the Democrat in this is en
tirely out of order. For all the money
used by us was used in a benevolent or a
charitable way namely: to pay the tax
es of those who desired to vote our ticket
but could not conveniently pay their tax
'cs. There certainly cannot be anything
wrong in this; and for such purposes was
money only used by us, and we defy the
JDemocrat or any one else to hhow any
thing to the contrary.
lie next accuses somebody who, was a
Curtin man of hurrahing for Mr. Foster, in
order that he might deceive certain Dem
ocrats, and thereby get them to vote for
Mr. Curtin. Now, Mr. Democrat, the
man who did hurrah for Foster and vote
for Curtin, did it for the fun of the thing;
not to deceive any body; and the money
that you allege this same man ws seen
to receive from somebody, was given to
him to pav the tax of a poor man who
was not able to pay it. There was no oc
casion for any body to be deceived by
the person in question, for be had on sev
er&l occasions declared that be had been
connected with this corrupt Democratic
party long enough, and that it was his
intention to vote for Curtin and Lincoln
and by this means endeavor to bring
lout a result which every true patriot
ought to desire. The fact is, Mr. Dcm
ocrat, democrats are becoming satisfied
th fit there is no Democracy in the Demo
cratic party, and they are therefore wise
ly leaving it and uniting themselves with
the Republican party, which represents
the only true principles of Democrecy
and on the success and establishment o
which, the future greatness and prosperi
ty of our country depend".
If the Monroe Democrat desires it, we
can mention the name of an iudividua
with whom he is very well acquainted
who offered one of our men a note o
twenty-five dollars to vote the Democrat
ic ticket, but which he refused, and voted
oar ticket without any pay. Besides this,
we might mention another instance in
which the person alluded to above, sold
Lis services to a certain individual for
just four times twenty-five dollars. It is
not strange tnst persons tuos posted m
the vote-buying and support-selling basi
ness, should attribute to others the same
corruption by which they themselves are
actuated. Other instances of a like ohar
aetcr and nature night be cited, but which
we presume the Monroe Democrat doo't
wish to hear, therefore we will aj noth
ing about thes.

Re.markable Coincidence.
On the ninth day of October, 1781, the
American batteries opened their fire on
York-town, in Virginia, and on the 17th
day of tbo same month Lord Cornwaliis
reqecsted a cessation of hostilities. And
on the lutn, tne untisb army, under
Cornwaliis, surrendered to the American
army under General Wawhington.
On tie ninth day of Oetober, 1860
ust seventy-nine years after this memo
rable event the batteries of the people
opened tbeir fire on the citadal of Loco
Focoisas in the State of Pennsylvania.
And in the course ef less than twelve
hoars the Hessians, under Genera) Foster,
surrendered, at discretion to tlje army df
the .People nder Goreraor Aidrew G.
Curtia.
Frien6 Schoch Allow me to
through the columns of your paper, luat
tho transaction of my baying and selling
Slaves in tho South, has been misrepre
sented, and consequently a false impres
sion made upon tho minds of tho public.
In justio to myself, I deem it important
to lay before your readers a true state
ment of the whole transaction, and to
counteract tho influence exerted by the ill
designed and maliciously disposed.
Someiimo in the month of July la.-t, while
in Florida, 1 was induced to purchase
threo Slaves, by their owner, who had
been frequently molested.on their account,
by a band of men calling themselves,
'-Regulators." The slaves being under
arrest, and their owner becoming alarmed
as to their safety, it was thought proper
to place them in other hands. The ar
rangements were made, and I became
their lawful owner, according to tho laws
of the State of Florida, and a bill of sale
made over to me, which together with
their discharge from the custody of the
Sheriff, I subjoin. It is usual for men to
attend to their own matters, without first
publishing to others their intentions, and
making their business known; but
nhnntrfl of custom is brought about. The
business, the motives, and transactions of
o " .
others is taken up by the slanderer and
mott maliciously misrepresented, ana as a
consequence the innocentis mado to uuer.

Good news from Pennsylvania;

When all was dark before us;
But how the clouds are breaking 'way,
And skies are brightening o'er us.

What Democrats have cost her;
But now she leaves them to their fate, .
And gives their cause no Foster.

But Democrats are sore nmnzod,
And think it looks.most frightful.

That whosoe'er our foes may fuse,
We'll beat their whole confusion.

erring harbinger of our national disen
tbrnlmeut.
Let the friends of the right not be con
tent with an ordiuary victory Abraham
Lincoln can bo called to tho Presidency
by a clear majority of the people of the
United States, if all who shall rejoice at
his. coming will tut cast their nuffragea
for him. To that majority Pennsylvania
oan and will contribute full fifty thou
saud. We have but to be faithful to our
great cause, and it is done. Let every
man be at his post on the great day, and
the largest majority ever given by renn
svlvania to a Chief Magistrate will b(
cast on the 6th of November for Abraham
,7 .innn'.n. for TTuion. for Freedom, for
Fraternity! A. K. McUlurf,
Chairman People's State Committee.
STr. Lincoln's Conservatism,-
Tf. would be useless and absurd to at
tempt to answer nil the falsehoods show
cred on tho party of tbo people nnd it
fianihdates in this (JauiDaivn. We can
only show what is our real position, and
this will be the best prool o: too umair
ness of our enemies. Our foes never at
tempt to give particulars in their charges
against us for this they know they can
not do but they content themselves with
bare assertions and denial-. Mr. Lin
coin's oonservati-m is one of bis prinoi
pal recommendations to the thinkiug peo
pie of America, and knowing this, bis en
emies are broadly asserting that he is not
onlv radical but one of the E&Ort ultra
men of his party.
Wo have often alluded to the fact that
Mr. Lincoln was a firm and personal
friend of Henry Clay, and that their po
sitions were precisely the same. Thi
has been denied by our opponents, but
without a shadow of satisfactory proof.
A tingle fact will be sufficient on this
point for the present. In 1844, when
Henry Clay was a candidate for the Pres
idency, Mr. Lincoln traversed the State
of Illinois for him, and addressed public
meetings daily. Finding that his labors
were likely to be in vain in his native
State he crossed oyer into Kentucky, and
eontiuued to speak there until the close of
the campaign.
The great issue before the people of
Illinois at that time was the tariff ques
tiou. John Calhoun was the chief peak
er of the free-trade party, while Mr. Lin
coin was the champion of tho tariff.
They went through the State together,
making Soeeches alternately from the
same stand. Calhoun, who since became
somewhat notorious in Nebraska and
Kansas, wbs then considered the ablest
debator of the Democratic, as Mr. Lin
coln was of the Whig party. Mr. Lin
coln's tariff speeches at this time were
considered as usodles of found logic, and
as exhibiting an unusually thorough
knowledge of the princ iples of protection.
II o was then considered as the great,
champion of protection ia the Nortlr.ve.-t
The tariff was not then so popular in that
portion of tho country as it has since bo
come, although it is even yet not' alto
nether acccpta'rlc to mauyofthc Western
people.
When in Consrrens, Mr. Lincoln tw:ce
voted in favor of the principle of a pro
tcctive tariff. Thero was no tariff bil
brought before Congress, but Mr. Litreoln
voted for instructing tho Committee
Ways and Means to report nuch a bill.
This was on the 19th of Juno, 1848 II
aiso voteu iu iavor oi internal improve
raents, and for giving the public lands to
actual settlers, the same principle that
has since been lncornorated into the
Homestead bill. His votes as well a
bis ppecobes were ex-ictiy in conformity
with" the doctrines of Clay and Webster
and also with the present po-ition of the
party supporting him.
in regard to his conservative position
on tho slavery question we have the testi
mony of benator Benjamin, ooo of the
most extreme of Southern pro-slavery
men. in a sneeeh in tho Senator last
t ft
Winter, in opposition to Judge Douglas.
and speaking of the contest tor tbo Illi
nois Senatorship, Mr Benjamin said:
"In that contest the two candidates for
tho Senate of the United States, in the
btato ot Illinois, went before tho neonle
They agreed tojiiscuss tbo issues; thoy put
questions 10 eacn other tor answers; and
I must say here, for I mu.-tbe ju.t to all,
mai i uave been surprised in tho exam
ioation that I made again within tho last
lew days of this disoussion between Mr.
Liuoolu and Mr. Douglas, to find that
iui. uiucoin is a tar moro conservative
man, unless he has sinco changed his o
ptnions, than I had supposed him to be.
Thore was no dodging on hia part."
After qaoting tho Freeport questions.
with Mr. Lincoln's answers, Mr. Benin-
mm continues:
"It is impossible, Mr. President, how-
ever wo may ditter in opinion with the
man, not to admire the perfect candor
and frankness with whioh these answers,
wero given; no equivocation, no ea-
nop,
We have here the highest Southorn
testimony of Mr. Lincoln's conservatism,
for Mr. Benjamin is one of; tho ablest, as
tie is Uoubtloss .the-moat eloquent of tho
Democratic members .of the Senate. Mr.
Lincoln stands to-day where be alwiyf
stood, and that is precisely where steol
nenry uiay ana the Whigs of his scioel.

Who does not love October 1
Tho' it came with rain and storm;
Though sombre shades will often,
Encircle its bright form.
As the rav from fading candle,
For a moment sparkles clear ;
So October sheds a lustre
Upon September's bier. z- -
We love its changing beauty, k., .
1 ho Indian summer s bloom
Seems like a flowery tribute.
Laid upon p;ist summer's tomb.
Fair as rainbow tints that brighten
In n darkened clouded sky;
October's varied colorings,
Are spread before the eye.
f ts mists, which hover o'er us;
Lighted up the sun's first beam ,W -Make
mountain dome and steeple, .... t
In transparent beauty glcim. - .
Blessings ever seem the fairer,
As they vanish from our sight
October's beauties soon must yield
To stern November's might.
From nature's gay apparelling.
Let us turn aside awhile,
To note man's beautiful attire, '
