For honest Grant we all should fight,

The man is true, our cause is right,

The people right, will have their way. .

Now work with might in sun and rain,
And tan the traitors o'er again,
And the times surely will be good
When the Tanner Boy gets home.
Note. In singing repeat the last two lines
of each verae.
The Tribune contains the following
pertinent caution : Our friends in Penn
sylvania are in campaign with laudable
enthusiasm ; but while the marching, and
meetings, and music are all excellent in
their way, we advise the Republicans of
that State to keep a sharp eye on Wal
lace's Democratic Coffee Pot. There is
no knowing where this handy utensil
may be setup this year : but after the
lamentable exposure of Mr. Wallace coffee-making
in the XXIst Senate District,
we fancy he will cook no more coffee
there for the present. He may, however,
resume his culinary operations somewhere
else, and steep naturalization papers into
a sere and yellow antiquity in other quar
ters. Wherever the Democratic State
Central Committee may undertake to "do
or dye," we hope the Republican detec
tives will be after them.
Attention, Farmers !
-In regard to taxation, the Fourth reso
lution of the Democratic platform, adop
ted by the New York Convention, prom
ises :
"Equal taxation of every species of
property, according to its real value, in
cluding Government bonds and other
public securities."
That is to say, land must be taxed, as
well as other property. Elect Seymour
and Blair and every acre of your farm
will be taxed. Aud the taxes will be
laid, not according to the county assess
ments say one-fourth or one-filth of the
value but according to the real value,
as Seymour and Blair contend for.
One would suppose that very few farm
ers could be induced to vote the Demo
cratic ticket this fall. We shall see how
it will be.
A Somerset county, New Jersey, hotel
keeper, a prominent Democrat, on visiting
Newark lately, stated that upwards of
thirty of his personal Democratic friends
had turned their backs on Seymour and
Blair, and had resolved to vote for Grant
and Colfax. On being asked why he
didn't also change his colors replied,
"That's just what I'm thinking about."
Yes, surely, the "tide" is on the increase,
when they come over to Grant and Colfax
by thirties and fifties and hundreds.
Would it not be well for the Copper
head grumblers at the increase of the
debt to bear ' in mind ' the testimony of
Mr. M'Culloch, an ardent friend of Blair
and Seymour, who said in his report at
the close of last year that the debt had
then been reduced since September - 30,
1865, 826G,185,2ol 1 ThU evidence may
not, perhaps, be sufficient for Republican
use, but it ought to be conclusivo against
Copperhead. -: ' 1 '
: The "Irish people,", of New York the
leading Irish paper of the country, under
the control of John O'Mahony, of Fenian
fame, last week emphatically declared for
Republicanism as the future hope of-the
American Irishmen. . He published his
reasons , at length why the Irish people
should support Grant and Colfax.,
Senator Van Winkle is on the stump
for Grant and Colfax. . At a meeting in
Parkerburg, the other evening, he said
he had been surprised at the rumor that
he bad left his party, which would best
he answered by his appearance on that
occasion as a speaker before a Grant club.
The Chester county Journal, publish
ed at Downington, Pa., heretofore a
neutral paper, has hoisted the Grant and
Colfax, Hartraoft and Campbell flag, and
is doing good service in the Republican
cause. ' " ' '

James A. "Watson, who has of late
obtained considerable notoriety as a pro

before Alderman Thomas and made a

to the followiog affidavit, which fully ex

James A. Watson, a resident of Ger
mantown, in the Twenty-second Ward of
the City of Philadelphia, being duly
sworn, doth depose and say that he did
go to the city ot Philadelphia, along with
a number of persons, to be naturalized
this fall, among whom was John Kiernan
an Irishman by birth ; that he swore he
knew said Kiernan for five years, and so
of several other persons ; that said state
ment and oaths were fal.se; that he does
not know when Kiernan came to this
country that he has not known said
Kiernan over two years ; that he has also
vouched for sundry persons from Mont
gomery county, nine of whom he knows;
that he was told to go ahead by Henry R.
Coggshall and Morris K. Pierce; that
they told me (Watson) that I would come
out all right: he (Coggshall, told me that
the Democratic party would see me all
right; I knew I was doing worng, but did
not think I could be caught; I vouched
for seven r or eight from Montgomery
county ; they gave me one dollar apiece for
vouching for them ; I was in Trimball's
hotel, at the railroad depot, Germaotown,
when a party of men from Montgomery
county came in : I did not know any of
them;C. Manson Hocker, asked me to
vouch for them; I said I would; Mr.
Pierce handed me five dollars for vouch
ing for them. .,
. Sworn to and subscribed before . me
this 7th day of October, 1868.
(Signed) . JAMES WATSON
On the same day Thomas Condon, one
of the Twenty-second Ward Democaracy,
was committed by Recorder Given-on the
charge of perjury and a conspiracy to
violate the Election laws. The testimony
submitted in the case was as follows :
Peter Harrington, being duly sworn,
testified as follows : I arrested Condon
who said he was twenty-six years of
of age, and had come to this country five
and a half years since (naturalization pa
per produced); I took that paper from
him; he said it was his naturalization pa
per. General Louis Wagner testified that
the defendant told him he had been na
turalized as a minor, and bad come to this
country five and a half years ago, and is
now twenty-six years of age.
- Charles R. Roberts, sworn Corrobora
ted the testimony of General Wagner.
The Recorder asked the prisoners if he
had aught to say, and he admitted the
truth of the testimony, the papers being
minor papers, wnicn require the person
to be in this country when he is under
eighteen years of age.

Salt Your Chimneys.
-In building a chimney, put a quart of
salt into the mortar within which the in
ner courses of brick aro to be laid. The
effects will be that there will never be
any accumulation of 60ot in that chimney.
The Philosophy is thus stated : The salt
in the portion of mortar which is exposed
absorbs moisture from . the atmosphere
every damp day. The 60ot becomes damp
falls down to the fire-place. This appears
to be an English discovery. It is used
with success in Canada.
Remedy for Colic.
i A subscriber of tho Rural - West snys
he relieves his horses of colic by pouring
two or three buckets of cold water on
their backs jnst forward of their hips,
sometimes rubbing on salt to increase the
cold, and then turning thcni-out to roll.
In eoroo cases' a second application is
necessary. With him this remedy has
never failed. .
On a railroad train in Pennsylvania a
vote of the. passengers was taken, which
resulted : for Grant, 66; for Seymour, 10.
An old lady stopped the canvusser and
remarked : l can't vote, gentlemen, but
I am going to keep one Seymour man at
home."

The remedy is very simple.

Wno Made War? Oh, Copperhead,
why continue to insult the common sense
of mankind by the continued iteration
and reiteration of the threadbare and
profitless lie that the Republican party
brought on war." Mr. Lincoln was elec
ted in November, 1860. lie was not in
augurated until March 4, 1861. As ft
private citizen he could not, between the
above dates, wage war much. But see
what the rebels, encouraged by Northern
Democrats, did meanwhile.
They captured Fort Moultrie and Caa
tie Pinckncy December 20.
Took Fort Pulaski January 3.
Seized the Mount Vernon arsenal, Al
abama, with 200,000 stand of arms Jan
uary 2.
Seized Fort Morgan, Mobile, Jan. 4.
Fired on the Star of the West going to
provisions Sumter. January 9.
Captured Forts Jackson and St, Phil
lips, below New Orleans January 10.
Captured Pensacola Navy Yard and
FortMcRae, January 14.
Took Baton Rouge arsenal, Jan. 18.
Seized New Orleans mint and Custom
House, January 20.
Seized Little Rock arsenal, Feb. 3.
So Mr. Lincoln found a war already.
made to his hands as soon as he took his
place in the office to which the people
had called him war full-grown and lusty.
He had his choice to do his duty as the
Executive head of the Republic, or Iw:
down in his tracks and let his country
die. He was as about as much responsi
ble for the war as for the massacre of St.
Barthelomew. Copperhead, you know
this; then why lie so?
Something to Consider.
When a Democrat commences wining
about oppressive taxation, just ask him
who inaugurated and fought the war
which made those Taxes necessary.
When they prate of their devotion to
the Constitution, ask them who fought
four years to destroy that instrument and
set up the bastard Montgomery concern
in its place.
When they talk of their loyalty, ask
them who nominated and voted for a
banished traitor for Governor of Ohio.
When they profess to be in favor of a
restoration of the Union, ask them who
has steadily voted against the re admis
sion of the revolted States.
When they claim to be in favor of
peace and prosperity, ask them who pro
poses to overturn the reconstructed State
Governments and inaugurate another
war.
When they claim that Seymour was
Ioyal during the war, ask them who made
it necessary to withdraw an army from
the front to suppress his riots in the
rear.
When the say that Grant is no states-
man, ass: ttiem now it is that in all tne
important positions he has held, he has
never made a mistake.
WThen they say he is not a good sol
dier, ask them how it was that he so
thoroughly "cleaned out,' Lee, Johnson,,
and all the other distinguished Demo
crats. Daniel and Esac
We heard a good story, a few days agoy
about a life-long old Democrat in tho
Wyoming mining district, which is a fair
illustration of the way in which thousands
of loyal Democrats intend voting at tha
approaching elections in Pennsylvaina
The old man has four sons, all voters, and
heretofore Democrats like himself, two of
whom, Daniel and Esau, served their
country in the lato "onnleasantncss." A.
short time since an active Copperhead;
called upon lmn to have a talk on politi-.
cal matters. He represented the import--anceof
defeating the Radicals, who were
fast destryiug the country, lie dwelt on
the burden ot taxation, and all the other
small talk of modern Democrats, when
the old man, who hid given himapatieax
hearing, said : "Well, I had two sons in
the Union army, Daniel and Esau, who
fit under Grant. I had a letter from
Daniel, and ho says we ought all to vote
as he and Esau fought. I think so too,
and me and my sons, if we livo till elec
tion day, iutcud to vote the true Demo
cratic ticket, headed by Grant and Colfax.
The Copperhead was much surprised,
und made tracks in double quick.
Look to Your Dollar Notes.
Jlcrsonfs Counterfeit Detector says .
The whole United States has been
flooded with a political circular to which
is attached a fac simile of the United
States legal tender one-dollar note. Sey
mour's likeness is in the left upper cornet
instead of Chase's. We give the fol
lowing description : Instead of Chase'a
likeness ou the left-hand corner, which
the genuine dollar greenback contains,
this imitation bears the likeness of Sey
mour, and has a fac simile signature of
Treasurer Spinner in its usual place at
the bottom, right hand side. On the back
it contains a promise to pay the bond
holders in greenbacks, including five
twenty bonds It would be advisable for
