The la'est Kentucky wonder is a dog that has hitched and is rearing a brood of chick etis. Gen. Dick Coulter says the radicals want ; to make Giant President by brevet, to enjoy 1 the houors and emoluments, while (foil burne would be President in fact, with Col- ! fax as alternate. It is the fashion now to say that a mail a j little the worse for liquor is on "Grecian Bend." The Lancaster Intelligencer says that Gov • Geary is ignorant, conceited, and malignant, J cannot speak ten consecutive seutenct's of : gramma'ical English, made an ass of himself during the recent political tour through the western tart of the State, by abusing sol diers woo ate fits superior in every respiCt, \ and that his own party are ashamed of turn | wherever ho goes. True, every word ol i'. The Radicals in Philadelphia put a lot of j "oumuiers" in an omnibus to represent cup- j pled soldiers in a procession the other night. I O.ie of the cuinibusses broke down, aud the : "lively cupplea'' look to their heels with \ wonderful alaciuy, leaving their new crutch* es belli <1 them. There is deceit and rascal ity in every political movement the Radicals \ make, ulii in nothing more than to their -ol- 1 dier dodges.

Vole the Democratic ticket and pay J ui own taxes—or vott the radical ticket ana pay the taxes of the bondholders in add) ion to your own ! That's it. A German of Chicago offers to bet e ght puncheons ot wine, worth §2,000 that G a. Grant will carry Chicago. Another Geri an offers to bet that Grant can drink the "e..at puncheons" before he is elected. It is reported that the great earthquake in Souih America swallowed up "three bum i"d millions of property." The Radical pi "t\ swallows np five hundred millions of proper ty every year. The party is a bigger pr mandizer than the earthquake,it takes bigger swallows, and swallows oftener. It is said that a foundered horse may be cured by mixing a pint of sun flower stela with his food. # Hurrah for the Negro. Wbile ex-Governor Morton, of Indi ana, was addressing a Republican meet ing at Concert llall, on Thursday ev< u ing last, some enthusiastic Radical crt d out ; "/ want to see if this meeting is pre pared to give three for those twenty-jour colorei members excluded from the Georgia Legislature.'" The cheers were given, of course. But what are the facts ? The twen ty-four negroes alluded to, were elected to the Georgia Legislature in violation of the Constitution of that State, framed under the auspices and passed by the vote.- of the Radical party there. As they w-re not legally eligible to seats in that Legis lature, they were, very properly, not al lowed to occupy them, and if anybody is to blame for their exclusion, it is ihe Radi cals in Georgia themselves. And now let us ask whether the Radicals, who are so very jealous of the political rights of the negroes in the South, care at all about the same rights of the white men in the North ? Whin a Radical House of Rep resentatives excluded the delegates of Kentucky and other States from seats in Congress, to which they had been duly elected by Democratic majorities, and when a Radical majority in the Federal Senate turned a Senator of New Jersey, Mr. Stockton, out of his seat, in order to create a vacancy for his Radical successor, Mr. AlexanderCattell, did any Republi can protest I Not at all. To disfranchise white Democrats and Democratic State.* is all right in Radical eyes. But to keep negroes out of Legislatures to which they are not lawfully eligible, is, in the judg ment of the same men, the highest politi cal crime!!— l'hila. Sunday Mercury. fef" To all the Radical agencies for carrying the Presidential election, the army with its candidate at its head, the Freedmen's Bureau, the swarms of gan gers and excisemen, they have added nig ger insurrections. Georgia is reconstruc ted. The Radicals arc in a minority in the legislature, and there is no way of preventing her people from voting f r Seymour and Blair, than by letting slip the sleuth-hounds of civil war. This ac counts for the movement inaugurated ai Camilla the other day. Though for tunately suppressed, these disturbance are liable to break out at any moment. — They will afford a fine pretext for Grant to send reinforcements of regular troops into the State, declare it tinder martial law, and prevent an election. What it the State should be wrapped in the flames of a nigger war, with all its horri ble concomitants, from the Atlantic to th Tennessee border ? Thete will be eight electoral voles the less against the party ot peace! and of progress! and of great moral ideas !— Ex, Are you Ready P Every Democratic vote in this county must be polled on the second Tuesday of Oc tober. Democrats of the several election districts, are you ready to get the very la<t Democratic voter to the polls ? Are your men assessed ? Have they paid a State or County tax within in two years ? Have your foreign-born friends their uaturliza rion papers! In short,have you organizes? If not, see to these thing*. Don't stop for a little time, or even a little money, for each of you can well afford to spend some of both to get rid of the blood-sucker that now taps your veins at every pore.

WHITE MEN HAVE MADE OUR LAWS and under them, the country has prospered and federal taxes were unknown.

Under Democratic rule thete were NO RUINOUS TAXES to eat out the sub— stacc of ihe people aud take every fourth dollar of earned wages of the poor man.

You have often, heretofore, without re spect to party declared your honest senti- j ments, founded upon voi.r cool and unbi ased judgements that : "Our laws were an enigma, because they "were devised bv cunning lawyers; that "too few of the plain, practical everyday "business men and farmers found their "way into the Legislature; that the laws "were too much mystified and obscured "bv law ver phrases; that these often "serve a> snares for the plain citizen; "that uuptincipled lawyers always make j"a haul when mm fall, into the traps set ! "by these cunningly devised laws." Ihese and similar declaitions have been made by most of you, at some time of your lives. They were your honest opin ions founded on experience —experience, j often, dearly purchased by you. They i were made not in the heat of a political | contest —not when passion ruled hut when I sound and unbiased reason controlled your minds. I We 1 iave no prejudice against the iegtl | profession, nor its professors, (having at one time, dabbled a little in the pool—but | not deeply enough to spoil us for a print i er) We judge of men's fitness for otlicial positions by the Jiflersonian, Democratic rule; "Is he honest ?" "Is lie capable ?" Y\ bile our opinion of lawyers inav some -1 times be better than they deserve, we are free to admit that the criticisms of our fanner friends are often too just, too true And we are glad that they now have an opportunity to manife>t their faith in them, by their works, or, by rather, their votes. On the one side, is presented, on the 'Democratic Ticket, for Congressman, State Senator and Representative*. PIOL LET, LILL. LINGS, GEOKUK OI'STEKHOL'T, C. C.

Men who will not \ spend their time in devising ways to filch , from you under the forms of law, your hard earned money. Men who ere solemnly ! pledged to retrenchment and reform, and who will themselves practice what they | preach. ON THE OTHER SIDE —the radical tickets : both for the National and State Legisla tures, are headed by TWO SCHEMING, WILY, WIRE-WORKING L AWYT.It POLITICIAN'S, than whom none can more oa-ily make white appear black, or black appear white 1 —though they both incline strongly to the sambo side—and who can convert two and sixpence into five shilling!, a little quicker and a little slicker than any two : known alchemysts in their districts ! and what's more they never fail to repeat | the operation on shillings.

Farinets and mechanics of Wyoming County, on which side will you cast your votes? ANSWER AT THE POLLS ON TUESDAY NEXT. One of the Bat Breed. One Dr. Pdakeslee, a shinning light "in I the Lodge" a? Nicholson, in this County, it seems from a communication published |in the Scrunton Republican, a few weeks sine-', took a trip to Galena to assure him self and his fellows as to the habits of the man who made that profound arid claboiate speech, "Let us have peace" ' The Dr. on his return, published to the world with a great particularity a I dialogue between himself a Galena land— j lord, which ran as follows: (we quote from memory,) Dr. 13. (at) Do you know Gen. Grant ? Landlord —"Yes—intimately." Dr. 13. (at) "Is lie a drinking man ?" I L. —"I have never known hiin to take a I drop of liquor in iny life," Dr. 13. (at) "Do you intend to vote for I him V L.—No, I'm a Democrat." This according to the Dr. puts an end to j the much mooted question as to Grant's habits —makes him just the candidate for temperance men; and stamps all these ma | licious stories put afloat by Tilfon, Cady [ Stanton and Wendell Phillips as false— ; worse than Ku Klux, copperhead lies. As Wendell Phillips, the great mogul of i niggerism, "temperance morality and de j cency"— the man who leads the radical I party on to its triumphs, had been silent on : this subject for some time, we concluded that he must have seen the Dr's. convin cing. knock down article, and acquiesced lin its solid reasoning. It seems we were mistaken in this supposition, j In Phillip's organ—the Anti Slavery : Standard of Sept 24 th and republished in the Daily World of same date. Mr. ! Phillips after declaring that he will vote i for Grant; (which of course everybody e.x pectsj over his own signature says; I " have little confidence in Grant.* * *Ue teas < drunk in the public streets since the Ist day of January. i This is a fact as patent as the sun at noonday ; none ; but those too dishonest to be trusted irith public jour nals (bats passing themselves off for otrls) deny it." According to Dr. Phillips, Dr. Blakes lee is "a bat passing himself off" for anoth er sort of bird. Those best acquainted with the wisc'Dr , at Nicholson, will not take issue with the great leader of radicalism on his classffiea tion, in this case. ZTiSf EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS. Be not deceived.

To tlie EDITOR of the Democrat, SIR: In tlio characters of the Presidential candidates now before the people there are Certain Units to which 1 wish to call the attention of a certain class. 'I here is i'i this community, and they are found in greater or les> numbers in every neighbor hood throughout the country, a class of men phatisaieal in pretentions, wi.o do everything from religious motives They are extra piou-i and profess to be guided bv the Spirit in all they do. I hey go about the streets wearing long sob>r t'ac-s, peering at you over their spectacles in a sanctimonious manner that says "I am bet ter than you." They are politically re ligious and vote to sustain the ptinciplcs ol justice, liberty, temperance, morality and religion, ihey support parties that embody these principles and candidates that are graced with these virtues. If the eyes-of these pious gentleman should tall upon this, I earnestly beg their close at tention to the lollowing exhibit of the in or al traits in the characters of Seymour and Grant, who are asking the sulf ages of the American people for the responsible office of President of the United States : Ex-Governor Curtin.ol -'Now rumor reaches u.-< Pa., spuakes ■ f Gov.

The above I deem sufficient for any can did enquirer sifter tnit.'i in thin matter. — It will be seen that the charges of incom petency and immorality against General Grant, are made by bis warmest and most aide political friends. The proofs to sub stanoiate the justice of the above charges are so abundant and public, that any candid, intelligent person who is familiar with current events, will not hesitate to admit their truth. While on the other hand the noble, dignified and Christain virtues that adorn the character of Gov. Seymour have prevented las most implacable enemies from utteiing a word against his private life; hnt when referred to, has uniformly received that meed of praise wiach virtue always commands even at their hands.— We have no enmity toward Grant as an individual. We deplore his failings and rejoice in his virtues. As an American, it would excite our national pride to be hold in hira the elements of heroic great ness and goodness of morality and virtue, but as patiiots we love our country and Iter benign institutions above parties or individuals; therefore we are anxious, as momentus questions effecting the organic law of the land are involved in the issues of the canva9- that truth of men and par lies, striped ot the foliage of error may be presented to the people, who will soon be called upon to discharge tbeir duties as sovereigns of a great country in this im portant particular. Then iet the cobwebs of falsehood be brushed from the lace of truth. Let corruption in high pb.et she exposed. Let the principles of parties stand in fair contrast, viewed in the light of the Constitution and then I t an i itelli gent people judge winch will lies! promote the interests of the country, maintain the securitv of Xhe Union and perpetuate the blessings of liberty to the present ana rising generations. This communication has already run to an unexpected length, but we cannot close without answeiiug a few questions that our friends of pious proclivities are constantly asking us. Is Gov. Seymour loyal? We will dis cuss this question by {living one from a number, to the same iffect, of the dis patches to Seymour from Lincoln and the Sec'y of War.

We will pass the above without com ment, except to say that in view of the amount of testimony similar to the above from both Lincoln and Lis Sec'y of War, confirming the "loyalty" and effective "sup port of Gov. Seymour, which rescued the nation in its hour of the greate>t peril, If there are those who do not believe the charges of "disloyalty" against him lobe false then it were useless to reason with them. Does the Democratic party of which Gov. Seyrriour is a member, favor the re establishment of Slavery ? In reply to this question we quote from the National Democratic platform, adapted at New Yotk City, July 4th, last: "The Democratic par ty in National Convention assembled * * * * recognizing the question of hla very and secession as having been settled for all time to come by the war or volun taiy action of tiie Southern States in Con stitutional Convention assembled and nev er to be renewed or ar/itated." S. 11. S. ... £<rWendell Phillips, the model man of the Radical party, says he will vote for General Grant, although he lots no confi dence in him, and denounces the Radical plattorm as "shuffling, evasive, unprinci pled and corrupt." And yet he supports it and its candidate, and why ? Became a vole for Grant in a vote for negro sutfraqe. Anything to fly the black fl g above the white.
