j CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS.
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. Esq.,
which along the route and during the pro
| gress of the meeting, discoursed some very
excellent anisic,
i The Brass Band at this place, uudcr the
1 leader-hip of R. P. Ross Esq., was also in
attendance at the meeting, and with their
Laceyviile brethren furnished a musical
j entertainment seldom if ever enjoyed by
1 the citizens of this County,
The place of meeting wa9 on the Court
House square. At about 1 o'clock P. M
i Dr. J. V. Biuilh, Chairman bf the Demo
i eratic Standing Committee, called the
j meeting to order, and read the following
list of officers, which was unanimously
adopted by the meeting.

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.

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

Joe. Brown, whom the Radicals
hare promoted to the office of Chief Jus
tice of Georgia, aa a reward for his loyalty,
made this nice little speech to his fellows'
at Chicago, on the occasion of Grant's nom
ination: "I am an original teceuioniat. I
was born in Sooth Carolina, and grew up
under the influence and teachings of Cal
houn. I early imbibed his States Rights
doctrines. I went into secession cordially,
and stood by it as long as there was chance
to sustain it. I fought you opeuly and
boldly." The Devil is a saint if he will
only aid the Rabicals in putting the negro
above the white man.
