It is a true savins; that a man is known ly the com
pany liu keeps, ami these lines are written to show the
character of the Kutnocrulic l'lvs-idciital candidate lor
If 70.
Vhen this old hat was new, Ims,
Sam Tilden and Hill Tweed,
Were bosom cronies in New York,
" And mighty well agreed,
The tricks one did not think of, Mr,
The other surely knew ;
And so (hey swelled their hank accounts,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
Oh! how the money went;
They scooped the city treasury up,
And y. t were not content,
l'.y plans that Sam iuvented, sir,
Known but to very few.
They counted UniTmau (iovcrnor,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was next, Ihjvs,
And I'Verythiiijj serene,
While Sammy ran the railroads,
The lioss ran "tho machine."
With Hotl'man up the Hudson, sir,
Oh! how the money tlew ;
lleform was what they did not want,
When this old hat was new.
when this old hat was new, boys,
(ireat scandals were afloat ;
The Tam'ny i in. :n broken up,
The I"oss was made scape-goat ;
Ungrateful Sam at last bewail.
Though still one of the crew,
To cry "Stop thief!" and keeps it up,
Since that oil hat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
If we have learned the facts,
Our Sammy made a false return
Upon bis income tax ;
And had the law but reached the fraud,
And dealt him justice true,
Like Tweed he'd worn a striped suit,
When this old bat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
A funny thin to see
Was little Sam a figuring
The President to be.
Ho pardoned convicts jrrcat and small,
And Tweed to Cuba Hew,
For Sammy had no use for him,
When this old bat was new.
Although this hat is old, boys,
And bleached by the sun,
I'll wear it like an honest mau
Until the victory's won ;
I'll swing it in the air, boys,
For Hayes and Wheeler true,
And next November I will win
A dozen briu'bt and new.
Headquarters Republican State Commit
tee, Philadelphia, Oct. 14, 1S7G.
To the People of Pennsylvania:
Eleven years after the overthrow of the
rebellion we find the men who forced it
upon the country aa;ain preparing to seize
the Clovcrninent. It is tho old Confederate
army united upon the old Confederate
heresy. The7 have never abandoned their
cherished idea they still think with Mr.
Tilden that ours is a conf(-d rac, nnd not
a nation. They have made him their
candidate because he never abandoned his
declared conviction that ''the Constitution
of the United States is only orjrnized revolu
tion," and that "any State has the right to
snap the tie at its pleasure."
This was the heresy that fired the rebel
pxtn from Charleston against Sumter in
1SG1 ; and this is the heresy they are
remarshalled iu 1870 to re-establish.
To this end they have crushed out Re
publican opinion in every Southern State.
To this end they have made the white Re
publican an outcast and the black Repub
lican a vassal. To this end, coercion of
Republicans is their stern discipline. By
force, their Confederate heresy is again the
cement to make a Solid South.
The Confederate army is far mere united
to-day in the new efi'ort to seize the Govern
ment than it was fifteen years ago in the
mad effort to destroy it. To-day treason
is aided by their sympathizers in the
North. They have concentrated the strug
gle upon a single issue the revolution of
the Govern incut. They sink every other
question out of sight, and therein they
teach us qui- duty.
Shall they recover by the ballot,- con
ferred upon them by Republican magna
nimity, what they lost on the battle-field
in conflict with the people they betra-ed ?
We have met and vanquished their as
saulting columns five times since the first
Tuesday of September, 1S7C in Vermont,
Maine, Colorado, Ohio, and Indiana gain
ing ten members of Congress, electing five
Legislatures, including that of Indiana,
which even the rebel raiders from Ken
tucky were not able to capture.
Democratic victories in the South are only
evidences of Democratic terrorism over
Republicans. Sixty-five thousand Demo
cratic majority in Georgia means G3,000
rebel shotguns at the polls.
Three weeks only arc left to us to meet
the new crisis forced upon us by these men.
What u ill PcHHsjlvaitiaa do Our enemies,
confident of successfull coercion all over the
South, have resolved to make another
attack upon this great State. They leave
the South in the safe custody of the re
organized Confederate army, and they arc
now, as in lStl, inarching upon Pennsyl
vania in determined array, and their rebel
yell already is heard within our limits.
Let us be prepared for them. Our great
Commonwealth has always been the strong
hold of nationality. During the war she
gave her treasures of men and money to
the cause of her country. Staudiug be
tween the two sections, she has always been
the foe' of sectionalism. She stood by
Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and . Meade dur
ing all the struggles of the war. The peo
pie believed that when Vicksburg and
Gettysburg fell on the -1th of July, lSbo,
the great work of restoration was accom
plished and the rebellion was dead, but
they are now brought face to face with a
NO. 21.
revolution as dangerous as the rebellion
itself.
When fifteen States can be more unified
by the shotgun and tin: bludgeon than they
were by armed secession iUelf, and when
this combination is enforced by the sup
pression of free speech, a free ballot, and
lice schools, its success mu.-t end our re
publican experiment. These men tried t'
light their way out of the Union at an.
incalculable sacrifice of hunman life, and
now they are trying within the Union, by
new forms cf violence and fraud, to re
establish the dogmas supposed to be destroy
ed on the battle-field. All they ask is a
sullicieiit contingent from tho free States to
complete their programme.
It is in this Centennial year, when Penn
sylvania is inviting all the nations to her
hospitalities, and proffering encouragement
and kindness to her Southern sisters, that
the Confederates advance upon her borders
to make another effort for the heresy which
originated and prolonged the rebellion.
Pennsylvania demands "peace and unity,"
but she demands them as the result of
cheerful obedience to jr..-t law, and not as
the sullen submission compelled by the
oilicers of the law.
Pennsylvania demands industrial and
commercial prosperity ; bat she knows that
these are the fruits of peaceful and orderly
society, based upon honesty and right, and
cannot grow out of the anarchy and chaos
threatened in a Solid South. Pennsylvania,
will first have justice, then prosperity. Has
the country no road to prosperity but that
which disgraces the scars of the living
soldiers and dishonors the irraves of the
dead ?
Pennsylvania!! will have purity in public
administration, but she wants none of the'
illusive promises of "reform" made by Til
den and illustrated by Tweed and the
disciples of Tammany Hall.
Men of Pennsylvania, upon you rests
the responsibility vours is the absorbing
obligation. Will you "Hold the Fort ?"'
By order of the committee.
Henry M. IIoyt, Chairman.
A. Wilson Nonius. Secretary.
Hayes, Tilden, and the American Alliancei
The latest campaign lie set on foot by
the reform party, charging Gov. Hayes with
indorsing the principles of an obscure or
ganization styling itself "The American A1--lianee,"
has already tumbled to the ground.
The following letter is conclusive" on the
subject :
1 wish to correct some mistakes made
by persons in commenting upon the letter
sent to the American Alliance by Mr. A.
E. Lee, Gov. Haye's secretary. 1. Gov.
Hayes never was a member of the Ameri
can Alliance. 2. He never saw the consti
tution or by-laws of the organization, o.
No committee of this order ever at any
time called on him, either at Philadelphia,
Columbus, or any other place, for any pur
pose. We simply informed him by' letter
that w-e indorsed his nomination, in answer
to which we received the letter from his
secretary. That letter was taken from my
oilice, and I was as much surprised as any
orc can be to see it iu print.
I am at a loss to see why Democratic pa
pers should find any fault with the pro
ceedings, as we indorsed Mr. Tilden for
Governor two pears ago, and he found no
fault with it, but on the coiitrarv was very
greateful for the assistance, only he reques
ted that it be kept secret, as, if it should
become public, he learned he would lose
the foreign vote. Respect ifully yours,
Lemuel S. Tyler,
Secretary American Alliance.

TILDEN'S PATRlfJTISSI.
Mr. Daniel P. Jones, an authorized agent
of the United States Christian Commission
during the war, has made oath to the fol
lowing facts, which throw additional light
upon Tilden's war record which John Bige
low has tried so hard to illuminate.
New York, Sept. 21, 1S7C.
I, Daniel P. Jones, of the City of New
York, being duly sworn depose and say
that during the time when the United
States Christian Commission was iu exist
tenee, and about September of ISO',, whose
mission it was to furnish supplies of provi
sions and medicines to the sick and wound
ed soldiers, (I then holding an appointment
under said commission,) Mr. Samuel J.
Tilden was waited on by me and solicited
to aid, when the said S. J. Tilden made in
substance the following reply : "I would
rather see all the soldiers starve to death
than give them one cent," and the said S.
J. Tilden did not contribute.

The ground-squirrel, which the Potts
town Lulycr mention's as having been prob
ably swallowed by a huge bass, more likely
fell a victim to a large cel. This is a very
common habit with this fish in marshes of
the Delaware when the tide is up and rail
shooting is in vogue. One has to be quick
in picking up the birds when sfiot, as wo
have known eels to seize and make off with
them. This is particularly the case with
fluttering wounded birds. Water snakes of
largo size will do the same. We havo
often seen good sized fish iu the mouths
of even small snakes.
