Democrats of Pennsylvania :
THE HOVR FOR WORK HAS COME !
We earnestly invite you to organize for
victory.
Attention to details, petserving energy
organization and discipline will bring tri
umph to your principles.
Zeal and perseverance in every Demo
crat, and thorough organization in every
locality, are the true roads to success.
Supeificial effort, noise and parade ate ,
valueless. The stake is a mighty one,
and must be won by systematic woik and
business-like energy.
Pennsylvania is the battle ground. At
the October election the enemy will make
their most determined contest.
You occupy the post of honor—the van
guard of the Democratic party. You have j
proven vour ability to carry the State;
and individual efiort, faith in your princi
ples and courage in their maintenance
now , will enable you to count your majori
ty by ten of thousands.
The drift of the tide is towards you;
changes are abundant; and it is apparent
that the political revulsion now in progress
will end in the utter overthrow of Radical
ism.
Let us labor to deserve so propitious a
result.
We invoke you, then, to energetic action,
to close attention to the details of your or
ganization, to the formation of clubs, to the
conversion of voters, to the enthusiastic
support of your candidates—SEVUOl R, the
statesman, and BLAIR, the gallant soldier.
Let us recognize in their names the sym

tred to Radicalism, and extending the hand
of fellowship to all who will aid us in sav
ing the Republic, Conservatives and Dem
ocrats will move forward under their ban
ner, as a mighty phalanx, united, deter
mined irresistible.
Let your warfare be aggressive. De
feud nothing. The Radicals in power are
, responsible for the unhappy condition of
I our country. Charge upon thein their
extravagances and their crimes. Demand
of them an account for j our treasure wasted
your race degraded, your business destroyed
and your Government prostituted.
Let your rallying cries be, A GOVERN

(aJ" The N. V. Herald says : " the rev
enue is declining in every direction, and
nowhere coming up to the estimates. —
The expenditures havs been increasing,
and in the War Department enormously ;
the treasury is being depleted, and there
is evety prospeet that within a short time
the income of the government will not
meet the demands, " Ac.
And so it will been seen that with all
our taxes and immense debt, the load is
constantly growing heavier, and the peo
ple's representatives are doing nothing to
secure relief. Millions upon millions of
useless appropriations are made to carry
OH Freedmen's Bureaus and maintain
military despotisms over one third of tfce
people of the country. Is it not time the
I taxpayers and the working-men demand
I a change I r .
Where does the Money go P--Taxpayers
look.
Over FIFTEEN* HUNDRED MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS havebe c n collect
ed by the UNITED STATES Govern
ment, in the shape of TAXES, siuee the
close of the war.
Just think of it.
One half of the National debt.
WHERE IIASTHE MONEY GONE?
Is the debt any less ?
No! IT IS MORE than it was three
years a<jo.
While Congress has been making the
negro the white man's equal, and "rceon
s rueting," arid impeaching, FIFTEEN
HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BEEN I
TAKEN FROM THE DOCKETS OF I
THE FARMERS, THE MECHANICS
AND LABORERS OF THE NORTH. |
The pejple were told by the Radical
patriots and thieves and bummers, that the
close of the war would see a restored Un
ion, with peace and prosperity and happi
ness. Well, the war ended three years
ago, the South laid down its arms and sur
rendered, but Radicals hostilities have not
ceased. The fight still goes on against
eight millions of white men, women and
children, and it costs the country just Five
Hundred Millions a year —that's the price.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THESE FIFTEEN
HUNDRED MILLIONS ?
Where have they gone to ?
HAVE THEY GONE TO FAY THE PUBLIC
! DEBT?
NO ! Not a bit of it.
i How is that in spite of all this taxation
—notwithstanding one half of the whole
National debt has been raised from the
sweat and toil of the people, the harden is
as heavy, as oppressive, as crushing now as
i ever ?
| Fellow citizens, these are questions for
i you to answer. Don't let dust be thrown
in your eyes by the conspirators who are
stealing your rights and your money at the
same time"
V\ hen yon are asked next November
for your vote in favor of Grant, who is the
tool of a crazy Congress, demand to know
J WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE FIFTEEN HON—
! DRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS taken OUt of

Ask them the reason why the South,

Ask them if the Fifteen Hundred Mil-

I NEGRO JUDGES,

NEGRO LEGISLATURES.
NEGRO GOVERNMENTS.
Instead of appropriating these fifteen |
hundred millions of dollars to the payment :
of the public debt, they have been i xpend-1
ed for the maintenance of a grand system !
of pauperism, BLAUTv pauperism, and
Congress has just voted to continue the

\V hat is the remedy ? You have it in '■

But Grant won't do this. lie says he
has no opinions of his own, and will do
just as Congress directs.
Arming of Southern Negroes.
One day last week, Mr. Paine, of Wis
consin, introduced in House of Represent
atives at Washington, a bill "to authorize
the Seeratary of War to deliver certain or
dinance to the States of Arkansas, Louisi
ana, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, for the use
of militia on the discontinuance of the mil
itary government therein." This is intend -
ed for the purpose of arming the blacks in
the South, in order to keep intelligent
white people under the heel of Radical op
pression. The secret leagues have already
formed the negroes into military compa
nies, and arc officered and drill with a view
to receive and use this ordinance. Was
there ever invented a more diabolical en
gine for the subversion of civilized govern
merit than this ? Will the people of the
North submit to so high handed an outrage ?
Will the white people of any section of the
country, suffer this transfer of the govern
ment ordinance to the possesion of the ig
norat, degraded and riotous black of the
reconstructed States.
Mr. HENDRICKS (Pent., In L ) in ropty to the re
marks which have heen mat", sail he consMerered
this a in >st dangerous hill because it proposed *o arm
one political party against the other. It placed tte ;
control of aims to be distributed with the Governors
of the States designated, and Ibis, too, immediately
before the I'residentat election. In regard to the ra
tio of distribution ho asked what Maine wanted with
seven thousand muskets, Massachusetts with twelve
thousand, ant Indiana with thirteen thousand ? ami,
in order to illustrate his argument he referred to the
fact that the Governor of Indiana, being a candidate
for re-election, these arms placed at his disposal
could he used according to his designs and pleasure,
.And so with the other States. He oinmencod upon
j the action of the Senate last night in rejecting Mr
-1 Vicker's amendment, providing that the distribution
i of arms, etc. shall not take place prior to the first of
January, unless the President shall deem it neces
sary for the prevention of disturbance iu the Soutb
\ era States. This fact, he remarked, was significant
jof tho design of the bill. Arms were to be disttibu
, ted to all the Sutea, with the exception of Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas, and these States were omit
ied because there was to be no election there. Tlierc
| fore, he areued that the only purpose of this di'tri
-1 button of arms before the election was to make a
military force out oj one party to orerawe the other,
and thus control the election All he asked was a
fair election and the people may rote without- hin
dran-e, governed.by their own judgment. General
Grant has said in the last scutenee of hi? letter ad
! cepting the nomination for Presidency, "We want
peaco. Let us have peace." All parties sbeul.l de
j sire this, and quiet in the oounlry. After this ex
i prcssion of the desire for peace on the part of the
candidate of the Republican party, tre find here a
jire-brand~a measure calculated to excite passion
. and produce strife and perhaps bloodshed. With a
! measure so threatening an t dingcrous in its eharac
ler, the people would be sloir to beliere that the party
j desired peace He hoped the President would excr
j cise the power he possessed to prevent this bill from
hemming a law. The President owed this not only
to his constitutional duty, but to the peace and quiet
of the country. lie should defeat a measure so full
of peril to the country, and which incited a conflict
between the whiles and blacks.
DON'T DIVIDE TIIE HONOR.—It was
Gen. Hartranft, of this State, the candi
date of the Mongrels for Auditor General,
and not the gallant Hancock, who hung
Mrs Snrratt. The Radicals considered it
j a great exploit at the time, but now they
i would like to divide the honor. Let all
j the odium of the affair rest where it be
i longs.
For Weak Stomachs.
There are some people, and especially
" Republicans" who are disgusted with
Grant and their own party, who earnestly
desired the nomination of Judge Chase,
as they say, they could have voted for
him consistently, on account ot his rec
ord in favor of the war." These gentle
men, not having as yet tasted the strong
food of Democracy, do not know its gen
erous and wholesome qualities, and their
weak stomachs require a mild dii t, lest
nausea should supervene. Now the Rad
ical demagogues are striving hard to make
these.squeamish folks believe that if they
swallow Horatio Seymour they will get
more copper than they can possibly di
gest. For the benefit of these people, and
as a complete reputation of the Radical
caluminics against Governor Seymour, we
propose jo print a leaf or two from the
history of the war •
WASHINGTON, June 15, 1863.
To his Excellency, Gov. Seymour :
The, movements of the rebel forces in
Virginia are now sufficiently developed to
| show that Gen. Lee, with his whole army
j is moving forward to invade the States of
I Maryland aud Pennsylvania, and other
i States.
" The President, to repel the invasion
! promptly, has called upon Ohio, Pennsyl
! vania, Maryland and Western Pennsyl
vania, for one hundred thousand mditia,
for six months, unless sooner discharged.
It is important to have the largest possi
ble force in the least possible time, and if
| other States would furnish militia for a
short time to be credited in the draft, it
would greatly advance the object. Will
! you please to inform me immediately if, in
answer to a special call of the President,
| you can raise and forward twenty thous
and militia volunteers, without bounty, to
Ibe credited in the draft of your State, or
what number you can possibly raise ?
E. M. STANTON, Scc'y., War.
Governor Seymonr immediately answer
'cd that he would send 20,000 men to
Pennsylvania, and in a few hours after
| the receipt of the dispatch, several regi
-1 ments were on the inarch and the rest
I followed soon tliereafter-
WASIIINGTON, June 15, 1863.
I GOVERNOR SEYMOUR:
The President desires me to return his
thanks, with those of this Department, for
j your prompt response. A strong inove
| tnent of your city regiments to Philadel-
J pl.ia would he a very encouraging move
' merit, and do great g<>od in giving strength
in that State.
E. M. STANTON, Sec'y of War.
Four days afterwards, Secretary Stanton
by direction of President Lincoln, tele
-1 graphed to Governor Seymour's Adjutant
! General as follows :
WASHINGTON, June It), 1863.
To Adjutant General Sprague :
The President directs me to return his
thanks to his Excellency Governor Sey
mour, and his staff tor their energetic and
prompt action. Whether any further
force is likely to be required will he com
municated to you to-morrow, by which
time it is expected the movements of the
! enemy will be more fully developed.
E, M. STANTON, Sec t y, War
But Secretary Stanton, filled with an
! overflowing gratitude to Governor Sey
i mour for his prompt and candid support
| of the Government, again telegraphed his
acknowledgments of the Governor's ser
vices, in the following emphatic and en
| thusiastic terms:
WAR DEPARTMENT, ")
WA smsr.ToN, June 27, 18G3. )
DEAR SIR —1 cannot forbear expressing
to you the deep obligation I feel for the
prompt support you have given to the
Government in the present emergency.—
i The energy, activity and patriotism you
have exhibited I may be permitted per
j sonally and officially to acknowledge, with
j out arrogating any personal claims on my
! part to such service, or to any service
whatever.
I shall be happy always to be esteemed
.your friend.
E. M.STANTON. Sec'y War,
His Excellency Horatio Seymour:
Let the " trooly loil " put that in their
pipes and smoke it. If the endorsement
of Seymour's patriotism by A. Lincoln and
E. M. Stanton has no weigh' with " Re
publicans," then they would not believe
; though one rose from the dead to testify
in that behalf. But let Gov. Seymour's
record speak for itself. In his message to
the New York Legislature in January,
1803, occurs this passage :
" We must accept the condition of af
fairs as they stand. At this moment the
fortunes of our country are influenced by
the results of battles. OUR ARMIES IN
| THE HELD MUST CE SUPPORTED. All COII
- stitutiona! demands of our General Gov
ernment MUST RE PROMPLY RESPONDED
TO. But, WAR ALONE will not save our
Union. The rule of action which is used
Ito put down an ordinary insurrection is
not applicable to a wide spread armed re
sistance of great communities. It is wild
ness and folly to shut our eyes to this
truth. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN
THE DIVISION OF THE UNION BE CONCEDED.
We will put forth every exertion of pow
er. We will hold out every inducement
to the people of the South to return to
their allegiance, consistent with honor.
"We will guarantee thein every right,
every consideration, demanded by the Con
stitution, and by tbat fraternal regard
which must prevail in a common country.
HUT WE CAN NEVER VOLUNTARILY CON
SENT TO THE BREAKING UP OF THE UNION
OF THESE STATES, OR THE DESTRUCTION OF
THE CONSTITUTION."
Again in a proclamation issued by Gov.
Seymour, Oct. 20, 18G3, in response to
President Lincoln's oall for troops, he
said :
"In this emergency it is the duty of all
citizens to listen to the appeal put forth
by the President, and to give efficient
and cheerful aid in filling up the thinned
ranks of our armies. U ii due to our
brctliern in the field, who have battled so
heroically for the flag of our country, the
Union of the States, and to uphold the
Constitution, and prompt and voluntary
assistance should be sent to them in this
moment of peril. They went forth in the
full confidence that they would at all times
receive from their fellow-citizens at home
a generous and efficient support.
" Every motive of prido and patriotism
should impel us to give this bv voluntary
and cheerful contributions of men and
money, and not by a forced conscription
or coercive action ou tho part of the gov
ernment"
And the people of New York, under
the leadership of their noble Governor,
lived up to and acted under these senti
ments. In fact, Governor Seymour, as the
records ot the War Department, show, per
formed more efficient service in the rais
ing and equipment of troops than any Had
ical Governor in all the UriioD. What
moie did Judge Chase do ? How is his
" war record " any better than this ?
We think that no " Republican " who de
sired to vote for Chase, can after fully in
forming himself in regard to Governor
Seymours antecedents, refuse to give his
support to the Democratic nominee.—
Hartisburg Patriot,
Sensation in the Radical Camp--Thad
Stevens endorses the Democratic Plat
form.
The report of the proceedings in the
House last Friday contains some inter
esting reading for Republicans—doubly
interesting when considered in connec
tion with Mr. Morton's speech in the Sen
ate on Monday previous, arguing strong
ly in favor of the payment of U. S. Bonds
in the money of the people. The House
had under consideration the funding bill,
Mr. Ross, ( democrat of 111.) had spoken,
when Mr. Stevens sought occasion to ex
press his views as follows:
MR. STEVENS —Iie had understood the
gentleman from Illinois ( Mr. Ross ) to
say that the bonds should be paid accord
ing to the New York platform ?
MR. ROSS—TO pay the five-twenties in
lawful money.
MR STEVENS —What do you call law
ful money ?
MR ROSS —Greenbacks ; that is your
doctrine and mine, you know. ( Laugh
ter.
. MR. STEVENS —I hold to the Chicago
platform, and, as I understand it, on that
point, to the New York platform, and
those bonds shall be paid just according
to the original contract.
A MEMBER —The law, Mr. Stevens, ac
cording to the law.
MR. IjIK1 j IKE —The spirit and letter of the
contract.
MB. STEVENS —What was that law 1 —
That interest should be paid up to a cer
tain time at six per cent, in coin. After
the bonds fell due they would be payable
in money, just as the gentleman from Illi
nois, ( Mr. Ross ) understood it, just as
all understood it when the law was enact
ed. just as it was explained on the floor a
dozen times by the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means. If 1 knew
that any party in the country would go to
pay in coin that which is payable in money
thus enhancing the debt one half—if I knew
that there was such a platform and such o
determination on thepart of my own party.
I would with Frank Blair and all, vote
for the other party: I woutd vote for no
such sicindle of the taxpayer of the eot/n
--try. I would vote for no such specula
tion in favor of large bondholders and
millionaires. Mr. Stevens, repeated,
though it was hard to say it, that even it
Frank Blair stood on the platform of pay
ing according to the contract, and if the
Republican candidate stood on the plat
form of paying bloated speculators twice
the amount agreed to pay to them and of
taxing his constituents to death, he would
vote for Frank Blair even if a worse man
than Seymour was on the ticket. ( Much
excitement and sensation.)
MR. ROSS —The Democratic doors are
still open, and the gcutleman can be tak
en in.
This is a positive endorsement of the
financial plank of the Democratic plat
form T that" where the obligations of the
'■ government do not expressly state npon
" their face, or the law under which they
" were issued docs not provide, that they
" shall be paid in coin, they ought, in right
" and in justice, to be paid in tbe lawful
" money of the United States."
When Thad Stevens pronounces the
payment of the debt the paramount issue
of the canvass ami declares his readiness
to vote for Seymour and Biair upon it, it
will not be very difficult for more moder
ate Republicans to come to the same con
clusion and decide upon similar action.
Negro Troops—lmaginary.
It has just been discovered tbat the gov
ernment was defrauded of over a million
and a-haif of dollars in the war office, un
der the immaculate Stanton, in the single
item of bounties for the negro soldiers who
"fought so bravely." Papers tor whole
regiments—imaginary ones—which did
such wonderful service during the war, two
hundred thousand of whom were organized
by Stauton (on paper) and who"put down
the rebellion." Cameron has now a vote
of thanks before Congress to Stanton, for
organizing these men of straw and buck
ram. The taxpayers will be surprised to
learn that the large body of these men nev
er fought, never existed, but tbat hey
were treated as such by Stanton; the pay
was drawn, and Cameron, of course, didn't
know it or he wouldn't want to thank Stan
ton. Oli,no. The tax-payers are still
paving these very bills, and will continue to
do so for all eternity if they do not wrest
the government from the hands of these
thieving radicals.— Exchange.

That Speech.
The Radicals are frantic over a speech
delivered bj Governor Seymour to a mob
which opposed an unfair and oppressive
draft in New York City, in July, 1863. —
The cause of this riot or mob was the infa
mous attempt ot Secretary Stanton to draft
twice as many men from the German and
Irish districts of Hew York, City in pro
portion to the\number enrolled, as were re
quired from the Radical districts of the
State, It was a mob the at
tempted injustice of a merciless and un
scrupulous tyrant. Governor Seymour
made applicatiou to President Lincoln,
who appointed a Committee to execute
the enrollment and quotas assigned, aod
the flagrant wrong attempted by Stauton
was rectified. •
So great was the confidence of the peo
ple in Governor Seymeur's honesty of
purpose, and his determination to see that
justice was done, that his appeal was re
garded even by the rioters. Peace was
restored, the destruction of the city aver
ted, and when justice was done by the au
thorities at Washington, the draft pro
ceeded without interruption. With such
a ninny as Grant or Geary in the posi
tion of Governor Seymour at that time,
the probabilities aie that a large portion
of the city of New York would have been
destroyed, and the men who are now fore
most in attempting to misrepresent Gov.
Seymour would have dangled from the
lamp posts.
But to the speech. We give it entire

I wish you to take good care ot all the

I charge you to disturb neither. It is your

Listen to me, and see that there is no harm
done to persons or property, but retire
peacefully.''
