DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE ROOKS, > , j 903 Arch Street, l'hilad'a. ) , . i To the Democracy of Pennsylvania: The sturdy Democracy of Maine have ; covered themselves with glory, i In the very citadel of Radicalism they i demonstrated that yon are upon the eve ' of a magnificent victory. The two parties were last arrayed at the ; polls upon national issues in I&G6. Maine then polled a vole nearly equal to her 1 vote of 18GI, whilst Pennsylvania polled | her largest vote. : **"ln 18CG Radicalism received in Maine ( ' 69,037 votes. In 1808 it receives, as 1 they themselves estimate, 75.002 votes.— i This is an increase of 8 per cent, upon the j vote of 16ti0. j | In 1860 the Democracy then received i I 41,917 votes, and in 1808 it receives i j 55,725 votes. This is an increase of 30 i 1 , per cent, upon the vote of 1800. i In 1800 Radicali-m received in Renn- t sylvania 807,274 votes, and Democracy received 290,090 votes. Apply the test of Maine to this vote, <' and Radicalism will receive in Pcnnsyl- t vania an increase of 8 per cent., or 24.- ! j 581 votes, making a total of 331,855 i votes, Democracy will receive an increase 1 of 30 per cent., or 87,028 votes, making a total of 377,124 Democratic votes, show ' ing that we will have a clear Democratic t : majority of 45,209. I Whilst the totals shown by this esti- < ! mate are too large for the vote that we'll . i i cast in October, no man who knows the t i condition of public sentiment in Pennsyl- ; 1 vania will assert that the relative propor- t j tion will be lessened. j v Maine voted for John C, Fremont, yet j James Buchanan was elected President, 1 t and Pennsylvania led the column of States * that made him the Chief Executive of the a nation, p , The hope of the Republic is in the De- \ i I mocracy of the Keystone. ' t As in 1850, the responsibility of deter- I mining the contest now rests with you. g Maine has proven that you can again ! bring triumph to the principles you love. Let us arouse to renewed energy and 1 b i more determined effort. ' ! By order of the Democratic State Com- y \ mittee. ' t! WM. A. WALLACE, p Chairman., a Mass Meeting oi the Democracy of Wy oming County. The Democratic meeting held at this ' place yesterday was indeed a Mass Meet ing of the sterling Democracy of the Coun ty. Notwithstanding the unfavorable con dition of the weather—there being an oc | casional dripping of raiD, during the day— • and notwithstanding the day fixed happen ed to lo on the lir-t day of the Agricultu ral Fair at Nicholson, which prevented the ; attendance of the large delegations which otherwi-e would have come in from that ' s-tnuneh Democratic Township, the atten , dance wasd irgc apij manifested that the t people of M yoming County, at least are ! alive to the imporlance of the issues at -take in this present canvass. At about 10 o'clock delegations from 1 the different town-hips began to airive. — 1 Pour-horse teams with wagons loaded with Democrats with ta-tel'ullv ornament ed and appropriate banners, and with flags i tioatirfg to the breeze came pouring into town from e,Very direction. From Falls, Braiutriin and Meshoppen, , there wcro delegations by boat loads.— I'liose from the two townships fast named, were aeenirtjVßnied by the Lnceyville Cor net Band, lei by I>. E. Wake man.

W OODWAKD W;IS then introduced and delivered one of those dignified, cleai, argumeiiUt.ve And convinc ing addresses which could only emanate from a mail oi such distinguished ability.— Many of the older men present had been | liisliiends ami clients in the earlier days ol his professional life, and had watched his steady progress from that time till he had ' attained the highest judicial position in his | native .Sute, by mere force of character, eminent liiness and capacity for the position, j An attempt by us to furnish even an ab | slract of this admirable address, would be futile. Coi. VICTOR li PIOLLET was n- xt intro duced, and made one of his characteristic, | plain, practical and powerful speeches, which went right home to the hearts, the ieel.iig and understandings of the people.— In terms ot withering denunciation, and scorching sarcasm, he unmasked and ex posed the corruption and extravagance ot the men who now misrepresent the people iu Congress, lie solemnly pledged him self, if elected, to retrenchment and reform. He showed that Mr. Mercur and other Congressmen—the servants of the people —were receiving extravagant and extor tionate pay, pciquisites, aud allowances in the way of gold pens, knives, kid gloves, ex tra milage, committee pay and other spe cious dodges for stealings. MR. THARIN, of Philadelphia, who had been dispatched to attend the meeting, by the State Central Committee, but who was detained by Rail Roail delays, came on in the evening, when, after dark, an impromp tu meeting was gotten up by our citizens, who wished to hear him. On a few min utes notice, notwithstanding the darkness and rain, the Court House was filled with an attentive and appreciative audience. HON. R. R. LITTLE was called to the 1 chair, and after a brief, but eloquent and \ well-timed address, introduced the orator of the evening, who in a most chaste, ele gant and eloquent speech, entertained the audience for upwards of au hour. At the ; close of which, every Democrat present, ' felt regrets that so excellent a speaker sho'd j not have had an opportunity of addressing j the larger audience in the afternoon. The enthusiasm and interest manifested at this meeting—one of the best ever held . at this place—gives unmistakable indica- j tions that the cause of the Democracy is, progressing—that the revolution so long | needed is still going on.— KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. LOOK OUT FOR THEM. —From now on till after the election look out for Biack Republican lies, for if there is anything | on earth that a radical can do to perfection next to stealing, it is lying. As a general ; thing they have control of the telegraph lines, and they make it their business just before the election to flood the country with lies. Especially it wifi be so this fall, when they teel that their cause is so desperate. All sorts of manipulations, cheating, fraud and falsehood will be resorted to for the purpose of bolstering their rotten cause.— i The only safe way is to believe nothing that comes from Radical source. Democrats, friends of the whites man' 9 government, be on your guard. - i In two months the national debt has been increased tlurtcen millions dollars. — i At this rate we shall owe at the end of the 1 year neatly one hundred millions more than we do now. Is it not time for the people to push from power the men who j are thus robbing theui ? w ~ 1 Facts for Foreigners. The difference in the principles of Frank Blair the gallant standard bearer of the Democratic party and Schuyler Colfax the candidate of the old Know- Nothing party, is shown in the following extracts, the first from a speech of Blair, the second from a speech of Colfax. Blair says: "The first duty of a Democratic govern ment should be to vindicate American honor iu the matter ot the imprisonment and punishment as felons ot American citizens in England and Ireland on suspi cion and without proof. The prisoner SHOULD BE DEMANDED at the cannons mouth, uuth proper apologies and sufficient idtmnity fur the outrages." In contrast with this Colfax says : "I once registered a solemn oath never to vote lor a foreign born man for any of fice under the American government, and to remove all foreigners, aliens and Ro man Catholics from office whenever I might possess the power to do so." Is this not sufficient to show which of the candidates can be counted as the friend of the foreigner ? Is it not enough to satisfy any man, born upon the soil of a foreign country", that in voting for Schuyler Colfax ha votes for bis sworn enemy, while in voting for Frank Blair he supports his avowed fiiend? llow then can any one hesitate between the two?— How can any one so far forget his man hood, his self respect, as to cast his ballot, for a man who has registered in Heaven an oath of eternal emaity against foreign ers, an.l especially Roman Catholics? Remember these things Irishmen and Germans! The same party that is now laboring so assidiously to give the negro a vote, labored just as hard in 1854-56 to take from you the privilege of voting.— Radicalism, is to-day, with its Junior Sons of America, its Lojal Leagues and Grand Army of the Republic—is but Know- Nothingism itensified. It has the same ob jeet and aim that it had when it howled ' place none but Americans on guard to night," s.nd swore—in cock lofts, and corn cribs, behind dung-hills and out-houses— eternal hatred to men of foreign birth.— Remember this when asked to vote for the old Know-Nothing Schuyler Colfax.— Bellefonte Watchman. Senator Sherman—Greenbacks for Bonds. The lion. John Sherman, United States Senator, from Ohio made a political speech at Ilillsboro, Ohio, on the 20th of August, 1808, in which the great financial ques tions of the country were discusaid at length. Mr. Sherman summed up bis speech in the following—for a Radical— extraordinary language : "Now, when we come to look at the law which is the. essential part of tho con tract, we find a provision that a kind of money defined in that act, and called law ful vumcy, shall be a lawful tender in pay ment of all debts, public and private, ex cept the interest of the public debt , which must be paid in coin. Now, I have rea soned about this matter very often, in pub lie and private discussions. I have made and answered collateral arguments in speeches and reports ; but my mind always comes buck to this conclusion : that under the law the contract between the creditor and the United States was that the creditor should loan the United States lawful money or paper money—that the United States would pay the interest at six per cent, in coin, and that the United States might, at the end of five years, return to the creditor his principal sum in the same money loaned to the Government , or might postpone this for twenty years. * * • The real breach of faith in this matter is not with the bondholder—it is with the note-holder. It affects the bondholder onlv as it affects all other creditors. The bond holder is no more a creditor of the United States than the note-holder. We have al ways complied with our promises to the bondholder, but never to the riote-holder. We promise to pay the note (greenbacks) on demand, but don't pay it at all, and re fuse even to take it for our bonds, except at a discount. This is the key to all our financial discredit." Now, this same Hon. John Sherman de livered a speech in the Court Ilouse, at Lancaster Pa., on Thursday evening Sept, 10, 186s, in which not the slightest al lusion was made to the qnestion of finance. Mr. Sherman, in his Lancaster speech, studiously refrained from touching the bond question at all, intending thereby to convince the people of the Eastern States that he it in favor of paying the bonds in gold while in his speech at Hillsboro, Ohio, he labored with all his abilities, as is shown in the extract above, to prove to the peo ple of the West that he is in favor of pay ing them in greenbacks. Such duplicity is wholly unworthy a gentleman occupying as distinguu-hed a position before the coun try as does Mr. Sherman. G§f*Thc New Orleans Crescent says "it ;is useless to disguise the fact that Kadical negro processions are not only guilty of sacking stores and beating innocent people, but that the negroes themselves are tho roughly armed, drilled and organized, as | well in the country parishes as in the im mediate environs of New Orleans." The Freedmen's Bureau feed, clotho and sup port these negroes, and white workingmen of the North arc taxed to provide money to meet such outlays. Brutal, ignorant negroes in St Domingo raised wild tu mults and murdered men, women and chil dren, but they were not supported in idle ness by their victims while prepariug for the bloody massacre. In this particular, | the Radicals are ahead of the people of St. \ Domingo. SPOONS —Among the notable things of the day. is the defeat of Spoony Butler for the re-nomination for Congress, in the dis trict he now misrepresents. This is sig nificant of change even in MaMachnaetta TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE Of PERU. Thirty Thousand People Swallowed up— 5300,000,000 of Property Destroyed— Twelve Towns and Citiea in Jtuina— The Greatest Calamity Bvet Known. Ntw YORK, Sept. 12. The Guiding Star from Aspinwali brings to the Eve ning Telegram the following: On the 13th ult., a terrible earthquake visited cities along the coast of Peru an d Equador whereby thirty thousand lives were lost and property valued at $300,000, 000 destroyed A rumbling sound preced ed tbo earthquake and the sea was terribly agitated, and the land was flooded for a great distance- Aregaipa, s city of 35000 inhabitants, passed away, with scarcely any vestige left. Only four hundred lives were lost here. Arica, a town of twelve hundred inhabitants, was also destroyed, leaving not a bouse standing Five hun dred perished here. The tidal waves were forty feet high and rolled withe tcrriflic roar on the shore, carrying ships farther on land than ever before known. t The United Stales Store ship, Fredonia, was capsized, and all on board were lost. Fredonia bad one million eight hundred thousand dollars worth of naval stores.— The vessel was rolled over and smashed to atoms. The United Stale* steamer Wateree was carried half a mile inland, and left high and dry. Only one sailor was drowned. Owing to the great distance the ship can never get afloat again. The Peruvian Corvette America was also carried ashore. Thirty three persona were drowned. American merchantman Kosa Rivera. English ship Chancellor, and French bark Eduardo, also lost. Towns of Iquique, Moguega, Tocumta, and Pisagua all utterly destroyed. Over six hundred persons perished at Iquique. Ameriean merchants lost heavily; nearly totally ruined. Towns of ibarr, San Pablo, Atuntaqui, and imautad in ruins. Where Catacachi formerly stood there is now a lake. Population of the above named towns are almost entirely destroyed, pAmcho, Pueliary, and Cacbinaogo were also destroyed. The dead were ao numerous thai the surviving inhabitants were forced to fly from the stench of putrifying bodies. The earthquake was felt in Guayaquil, but no damage was done. Letters from Quito, dated 1 Oth ult., an nounce that earthquakes continue at inter vals of a few hours. The President has issued a proclamation calling on the people to com'e forward and help the sufferers. Radical Candidate for Congreaa. Ulysses Mercur has been renominated by the Radicals of this district as their candidate for Congress. A more inefficient specimen of a Representative never mis represented this section of the State. If he would properly ply bis vocation, he would follow the army of carpet baggers in one of the Southern States and be elec ed by a negro constituency. He has been representing the Gulfs and Sombos of the South for the last four years, now let him move there bag and baggage, and hence forth let a white man represent tho white men of this district It is time this im becile was repudiated by the people of this district, and he will be at the comiog October election.— Danville In telligencer. <g""lt is not a mere party triumph we seek. We are trying to save our countrj from dangers which overhang it We wish to lift off the perplexities and shack les which, in the shape of bad laws and of crushing taxation, now paralyse the busi ness and labor of our land. We hope, too, that we can give order, prosperity and happiness to thosa sections of our country which suffer so deeply to day in their homes, and in all their indus try from the unhappy events of the last eight years."— Horatio Seymour. ■ ■ ■ - ■ Hon. Edoar C'owak. —Hon. Edgar Cowan has taken the stump for Seymour and Blair. He left the Republican party from honest convictions of public duty, at a time when by adhereing to it he might have secured a re-election to the United States Senate without the slightest difficul ty. That act attests the purity of his pa triotism. Mr. Cowan is one of the most effective stnmp speakers in the country.
