The official vote of Monroe County,
will be found in another column. Though
the borough of Strouilsburg and some of the
Townships have fallen behind in their Re
publican vote, it is gratifying to know that
Sniithfleld holds her own. In 1854 she
commenced polling 54 Republican votes, and,
we believe, she has held to that number ever
since. Success to her gallcnt Republicans.
3" Our neighbor across the way, last
week, published a long list of political leaders,
who sommersctted it from Republicanism to
Liberalism and Dercocracy, and boasts of it
Hut whore's the good when the rank and file
iViit follow? What do Generals amount to
without the soldiers? Heretofore we have
been content with from 8,000 to 15,000 Re
publican majority in Pennsylvania, and
expected neither more than the higher nor
loss the lower number this fulL But here
some hundred or two leaders, whose hold
upon official pap was getting mighty week,
left us and went to Democracy, and behold,
as a result, some 20,000 voters leave that
party and come over to us. They could' nt
stand the pressure of so many worn out Re
publican hacks, and hence helped us swell
our majority to some 35,000. Why, if "a
low inore of the same sort left," as the razor
strop man used to say, would go over, be
tween now and the 5th of November, the
thing would become so lop sided there would
Lc no u.-e of holding Election.

3 The licked out coalitionists, just now,
are seeking to draw comfort for their almost
political annihilation, from the cry of frauds
In Philadelphia, Poor fellows let them cry,
but, at the same time let them take the
flattering unction to their souls that we
should have beaten them 15,000 in Penn
sylvania, even with Philadelphia a tie. Rut
that the cry of frauds in Philadelphia is
shear nonsense, is settled by the fact that
Hon. SamuelJ. Randall, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, and
Alex. McClure, chairman of the Liberal Re
publicans, loth announced to the faithful
that every precaution was taken against
frauds of all kinds, and that the vote of the
ity W.ud le the fairest cast in years. Indeed
there could have been but a poor show for
tfraul, even if any such thing had been in
tended, for the total vote of Philadelphia
falls some 12,000 behind what it was three
years ago. No ; gentleman, the true reason
fur your over whelming defeat in Philadel
phia, is to be found only in the fact that the
Republicans had 20,000 more honest votes
there than you had.

amounted to $8,010,71 ; this is a larger

It is said that an opportunity to "tip the
light fantastic toe," will soon be afforded
our young folks. The affair is under super

the most recherche character.
Tlie Pennsylvania Poultry Society will

our chicken fanciers to win fame for their

3" The total vote cast for Governor in
Philadelphia last week was 118,119 more
than forty thousand less than the whole
number registered. The Republican vote
was about ten thousand more than that of
hut year, and the Democratic vote was about
one thousand less than that of last October
These figures show that there was little or no
repeating or importation of voters, to which
the Democratic seek to attribute their over
whelming defeat The fact is that the Re
publicans were earnest and determined, and
got out a full vote. Large numbers of the
Democrats, on the other hand, are opposed
to Greeley, and either did not vote or give
their help to the Republicans. "Mully" and
his crowd were not faithful to Buckalew, and
the rourth ward vote showed how powerfu
was t heir influence. The election was un
usually peaceable and orderly throughout the
city, and there were very few disturbances at
the polls.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
By the President of the United States of America
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The revoultioo of another
year has again brought the time it is usua
to look back upon the past and publicly
to thank the Almighty fur II is mercies
and blessings ; aud.
Whereas, If any one people has more
occasion than another for such thankful
ness it is the citizens of the United States
whose government is their creature, sub
ject to their behests, who have reserved
to themselves ample civil and religious
freedom and equality before the law, who
during the last twelve months, have en
joyed exemption irom any gnveous or
geoeral calamity, and to whom prosperity
in agricultural, manufactures and com
mcrce has been vouchsafed.
Now, therefore, by these considerations
I recommend that on Thursday, the 28th
day of November next, the people meet
in their respective places of worship, and
there imike their acknowledgments to God
for His kinduess and bounty.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand aud caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee, through its chairman, Russell Errett,
Esq , has issued the following addiess to
Pennsylvania Republicans:
Headquarters Republican State
Central Committee of Pennsyl
VANIA. The Republican State Commit
tee tenders its hearty thanks to the Re
publicans of the State for the devotion
they have shown to their principles and
the firmness with which they have
maintained the integrity of their party
against the fierce assault made against it.
We cannot, without being invidious.
select individuals for special mention, but
our thauks are particularly due to the
chairmen of the several Republican couu
ty committee for faithful and efficient co
operation, to the many gentlemen through
out the State who have given their time
and talents to advocating our cause on
the stump, to the able speakers from
abroad who aided us, and to the Repub
lican newspaper press of the State, which
has, by its zeal and ability, commended
itself anew to the confidence and regard
of our people.
The November battle yet remains to be
fought. Practically, its result may be
said to be known beyond a doubt; but
much remains to be done to make that
result certain. We go into the fight with
our hearts by the great victory just won :
and we must win for Grant a still greater
triumph than that we have just gained
tor Uartranlt.
In carrying on this struggle to its ccr
tain and important conclusion, some who
have fought us bitterly, and taken active
part with the enemy, will attempt to re
gain io our ranks the plaees they have
willully forsaken, rio one has the right
to say that these men shall not now come
in and vote for Grant : but we have the
right to say, and we trust the chairman
of every Republican county committee in
the btatc will unite with us in savin
emphatically and irrevocably, that no one
who fought against Ilartranft shall be
permitted to make a speech under our
auspices for Uraut. Let them hold meet
ings of their own, if they will, but not
with our aid or permission.
Very respectfully,
Russell Errett, Chairman.
