A GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY—DEMO-
CRATIC GAIN OF TEN THOUSAND—RE
JOICING OF THE DEMOCRACY—THE
REPUBILCAN MAJORITY LESS THAN EIGH
TEEN THOUSAND.
BANGOR, Me., September 15-2 A. M. —
THE DEMOCRACY OF MAINE HAVE TO- DAY
ACHIEVED A GREAT VICTORY, notwithstand
ing the most desperate efforts of the Re.
publicans, and an immense expenditure of
mones. THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY HAS
REEN REDUCED TO EIGHTEFN THOUSAND,
DIING A DEMOCRATIC GAIN OF NEARLY
TEN THOUSAND over the test vote of
1806. The Democrats are rejoicing and
holding a great meeting. The Republicans
who anticipated 25,000 majority, feel
blue.
A MASS MEETING!
Of the conservative citizens of Wyo
ming County will be held at the
Grove near TUNKHANNOCK Borough,
on Tuesday, the 22d of Sept. inst., at j
1 o'clock, P. M.
To avoid unnecessary delay, it has
been deemed expedient by the Com
mittee of Arrangements to construct i
a table upon the ground for the ac
commodation of those who may find
it convenient to bring with them their
own refreshments. In this way all
will have an opportunity to hear all
the speakers, without incurring the
risk of losing their dinners,
Hon. GEO. W. WOODWARD and V.
E. PIOLLETT
will be with us upon that occasion,
and
Hon. Ulster clymer,
and other eminent statesmen will also
be present, if other engagements shall
permit.
To the Democrats of the several
townships we desire to say, let us
prepare to make one more effort to
remedy the svils, remove \he burthens,
and avert the perils that have been
brought upon the country by Repub
lican misrule. Not as partisans, mere
ly—not for the sake of party, but for
that of the country, let us indnlge
th hope that such effort will not
prove fruitless. " Awake i arise ! or
bt forevet fallen,"
I lie Radical " Mass Meeting" held
at this place, on Wednesday, was rather a
slim affair. Gov. Harriman, repeated iiis
oft told tale of the "wickedness of the re
bellion" ir. rather good English for a deoun
eaUer —hut wisely avoided the vital issues
of the campaign. lie revamped the stale
and false charges of Democratic sympathy
with disunion in 1860 —but did not advert
to Greeley's, Chase's, Bank's, Sumner and
Phillips', disunion sentiments in that year.
E. D. Culver, the lawyer, Judge, and
foreign minister—as he told us—is, if a
lawyer at all, of about the 7th rate. He
is evidently a bondholder, for when he
came to speak of their patriotic services
in behalf of the government he bohooed
right out. O! how it did hurt the old
fellow's feelings to think of paying the
patriotic chaps in the same currency which
the wounded soldier, the widow, the or
phan and the laborer is obliged to take.
This mass meeting was composed of at
least one-third Democrats and all were
well accommodated in the Court House
room.
JT-if A new power press, which we
have put up in our office, since our last
issue, occasioned a delay of a few hours
in getting out our paper this week. We
expect, in the future, to get our paper out
in time and at a great deal less expense
of muscle.
W e invite our friends, who come to
town, to drop in and take a look at our
new machine. Wer'e as proud of it, as a
young mother is of her first baby. We
suppose however, that like them, it w ill
como to be an old . story —nothing but a
squawl after all.

Attend to the Assessment.
No person can be permitted to vote in
this State on the Second Tuesday in Oc
tober next, who shall not have paid a State
or County tax within the two years imme
diately preceding that day, which tax
must have been assessed at least ten days
previous to the 13th of October. It is
highly important, therefore, that all our
friends should immediately give their at
tention to this matter, so that no democrat
shall lose his vote at the approaching elec
tion, on account of non-assessment or non
payment of tax. Bear in mind that the
assessment must be TEN DAVS BEFORE
THE ELECTION. GO at once and see that
your name is on the assessor s book.—
Let no vote be lost to our ticket through
failure to attend to this matter.
jC-fT By the act of the Legislature, pass
ed last session, the assessor of each town
ship is authorized and directed to receive
and give receipts for the extra assessment
tax.
The deep piety of General Grant
will bo no longer called in question bv the
most bitter of his opponents. Ho may
show too strong'a penchant for horse
flesh, and perhaps indulge sometimes in a
little old Bourbon, when Stanton or Sher
idan calls, but he is undoubtedly pious.—
We have it on the authority of the Titus
ville (Kadical) Herald that General Grant
declared that "as regular as Snnday
morning came, he made it his religious
duty to read one of the Kev. Mr. Nasby's
sermons."
Petroleum will bo White House Chap
lain in case of Grant's election.
Think of it! 600,000 ignoran t, de

j The votes overbalance tho*e of tiie 600,000
voters of Pennsylvania. The latter have
j twenty-four representatives in Congress,
two United .States Senators j the former,
the 600,000 blacks, are represented by
KIVTY- six members and TWENTY-TWO
Senators in the Congress of the United
States. Such is the work of the party of
which Gert. Grant has consented to be
come the tool.

CURE FOR SMALL -VOX. —Wc clip from
an exchange the following prescription,
which is said to be an infallible cure for
smallpox.
Won't some Black Republican get the
disease in order to test its efficacy? We
take the prescription from a paper of that
stry pe; and if a good one, it ought to cure
our "colored bretbern," who fought so
nobly. If a humbug, it is like everything
else found in their papers. We give it
for what it is worth :
"One grain of sulphate of zinc, one
grain of fox-glove ( digitalis ;) mix with a
little water and sugar; then add three
ounces of water ; give the patient a table
spoonful of this every hour. At the sec
ond hour the patient begins to feel its ef
fect by a great sense ot comfort. At the
third hour a genial and natural warmth
pervades the system, and by the eighth
hour the disease is thoroughly arrested, no
matter what stage it may have reached.—
It can be given at any period of the dis
ease. A smaller dose for children, accor
ding to their age. One dose is far .better
than two vaccinations.
It has been usod and is being used with
certainty in every case, arresting the dis
ease at once. It is used in the same man
ner lor scarlet fever, add with the same
positive success."
HON GF.ORGE W. WOODWARD.—The
Philadelphia Age pays the following just
compliment to Hon, George W, Wood
ward candidate for Representative in Con
gress, in the Luzerne district:
"Hon. George W. Woodward has been
renominated for Congress by tho Democ
racy of the Twelfth District ot this State.
This is a well merited tribute to one of the
ablest defenders of the Constitution, and
tfhe riohls of white men under that instru
ment, in the Fortieth Congress. The
speeches of Mr. Woodward are models of
logic, while at the same time they fire the
popular heart ami make men know they
have interests in this country, and defend
ing them by all lawful and honest means.
The Forty-first Congress will have no
more fearless defender of republican insti
tutions Irom the assault of Radical traitors
than the statesman and patriot just renom
inated by the Democrats in the Luzerne
District.
ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC VICTORY I
The Georgia House of Reprenauves has
resolved by a vote of 80 to 23 that negroes
were ineligible, and expelled twenty four
or tw< nty five of them from seats in that
body, to make room for white mcPi
Peace.
If white men are anxious to know what
kind of peace the nation will enjoy under
Grant and the Radical party, let them read
the following account given by the Macon
(Georgia) Journal and Afexsenyer of an
affair which occurred a few weeks ago in
Dooly county, Georgia :
"On Saturday last, a body of negroes
numbering from 150 to 200, armed with
guns and pistols, assembled in obedience
| to a summons sent them bv tbeir leaders,
at the cabin of an old negro, some two
miles and a half from Vienna, the county
site, for drill, "to form a Grant club, and
for the security of all their rights," as they
expressed it. Threats were freely made
to capture the village, tear down the jail
and liberate certain negroes contained
therein. The aspect of affairs was BO
threatening that the citizens of the county
were summoned to meet at the court-house.
About two hundred responded, and upon
consultation a committee were appointed
to go and see what the Degroes were at,
and what they intended to do. This com
mittee when nearing the rendezvous, were
halted by an armed negro to whom they
made known their wishes to see their
Captain, as he was designated—a
origiually from this county, aud calied
Hugh Dean.
After several refusals, he at last came
out to the committee, and in answer to
their demands as to the object of this meet
ing of armed men, replied that it was to
form a Grant club to secure tbeir rights
—that hereafter whenever a negro was ar
rested the club intended to sit in judg
ment on his case, and if they did not deem
the testimony sufficient for bis detention,
they intended to release him from jail.—
He also said that the club were determin
ed at the end of the year, if the planters
did not give them all they wanted, either
in money or in crop wages, to seize their
honses and property and help themselves.
In answer to a question as to the authori
ty under which he acted, he said distinct
ly, that "they had received their commands
to assemble in this manner from Governor
Bullock, and were acting under his au
thority, and he was their leader and pro
tector."
Will vote for Seymour
The following prominent gentlemen who
have formerly voted with the Rapublican
party have recently declared their inten
tions to vote for Seymour and Biair:
Hon. R. M. Briggs, of Fayette county,
Ohio,—Republican candidate for Congress
in the Gth District in 1862, now Common
Pleas Judge, is on the stump for Seymour
and Blair.
Hon. A. L, Bachus, a distinguished
lawyer of Cleveland, has pronounced for
Seymour and Blair.
Gen. A. Saunders Piatt, of Logan coun
ty, Ohio,in a recent speech pronounced
for Seymour and Blair.
Col. J.M, Council, of Lancaster, Ohio
who commanded an Ohio Regiment, dur
ing the war, and recently represented
his district in the State Senate, is now on
the stump for Seymour and Blair.
Gen. Jos. U. Geiger, of Columbus, one
of the most eloquent speakers the Repub
lican party over had, is on the stump for
Sevmour and Blair.
Ex-Gov. Sherwood, of Wisconsin, has
come out uuequivocally for Seymour and
Blair.
Ex-Gov. Johnson, of Pennsylvania,
made a speech at Pittsburg, a few days
since, in whi'ch he said he could longer
vote with the Radicals but woultj support
Seymour and Blair.
A. S. Blake Esq., of Goshen, Ind., un
til recently a leading Republican of North
ern Indiana, is on the stump for Seymour
and Blair.
Hon. W. B. Jones, nominated by the
Radicals in Alabama for Grant Elector in
the 4th district, has declined defeat on the
Radical ticket, and taken the stump for
Seymour and Blair.
Gen. Richardson, of Monroe county,
Hon. S. Lind, of Toledo, and thousand of
others less prominent Push on the ball!
Gov. CIRTIN OS Gov. SETMOCR.—
Gov. Curlin, of this State, was asked the
other day, in the Union League club
bouse of Philadelphia, what was his opin
ion of Gov. Seymour, He replied
•"Well, sir, if I were asked to mention a
man who, in my estimation, had the at
tributes of a perfect gentleman, a cultiva
ted scholar, a thorough statesman, and a
sincere Christain, I would, without hesita
tion, name Horatio Seymour of New York."
"How about Seymour's loyalty," "After
the dispatches that I sent Seymour at the
time ot the rebel raid into Pennsylvania,"
replied the Governor, "it would hardly be
come me to impugn his loyalty ; the fact is
I havo never doubted it. I understand
that Belmont is having all the dispatches
sent by Stanton and myself printed, and I
have no doubt they will bo in the hands
of every Seymour stump speaker through
! the campaign. We had better give up
attackiug Seymour's loyalty, for the oppo
sition hold the trump card in that mat
i ter.
JUDGE WOODWARD.—-The Philadelphia
Herald thus speaks of the nominee for
Congress in the Twelfth District,
"The country has need of such men as
Judge Woodward at this time. A pro
found statesman and jurist, an able and
eloquent orator, a stalwart and unflinching
defender of the Constitution, we rejoice
to know that the country will have the
benefit of his services in the Forty-first
Congress."
The Luzerne County people have gone
to work with a will to elect Judge Wood
ward ; and will do it by a majority that
will dumb found his enemies.
/•if" I will have no policy of my own,"
says Gen. Grant. The mongrel policy as
shown by the report of the Secretary of
the Tresnry, is a further increase of twelve
millions more to the public debt.
PUBLIC DEBT, —The monthly statement
of the public debt of the United Btataa,
shows an increase of 18,000,000 for Jnly
and over 12.0u0,000 for Augutt, 1808.—
