The vote on Congress in this Dis trict, when compared with that of the Con gressional election in 1866. affords much oc casion for encouragement to the Democra cy. Then, Mercur's majority against Judge El well, one of the best and strongest men iu the district, was 1287 Now. with unlimited government patronage, and cart-loads of documents and Congressional perquisites at bis control, he is rc elected by the meagre majority of only 311 — out of an aggregate vote, in the district of more than 25,000 votes—being an increase on the vote]6f iB6O of 2,542. The gain on this increased vote is divided between the parties as follows :—Democratic gaiu 1759 Radical gain 783. This gain is quite evenly distributed in all the counties of the district and in all parts of each, showing that it is a solid and sub •lautiai one, and not depending on acciden tal or extraordinary circumstances. Mr. Mercur and his friends in all their speeches, falsely charged upon Col. Piollet Colonization ol voters to secure {his election. This falsehood—which is shown to be such, by the vote, — was doubtless believed by many, and gained them many votes which would otherwise have been cast for Col, Piollet. This "colonisation/* this -'fraud upon the people," it was alleged, was to be perpetra ted along the Canal and Railroad, under the supervision of Col. Piollet. We assert, and without fear of successful contradiction, that not a tingle extra man %cat brought into the district for the purpose of ejecting the result, by L 01. Piollet or Lis friends. Indeed so far as Wyoming Court ty is concerned there was not the -l-ual nnmber of laborerr emyloyed. There wa rn scarcity of man on this important, public improvement. The people along the lim. of this new road ate impatient, even clam orous, for its completion. Hundreds inor. oflaboreia could have been advantageous ly employed by the company. Enough, certainly,to have triumphantly elected Col. Piollet,its superintendent, had he chosen to employ them.-: He choose rather to rely up on the vote of the permanent residents) of the districts, the men, whom, if elected be would have really and truly represent ed. The result, though adverse, ia not only encouraging to the Democracy of the dis trict, and shows that if they persevere, the overthrow of radicalism and Mercur-ism. among us, is only a question of time, and will certainly be accomplished ; but it is also'highly flattering to our standard bearer. COL. V. E, PIOLI.ZT. who is fast being recognized among the people, as their true representative man. Tbia fact, as before atated. is shown by his increased vote in almost every election precinct in t the whole District. His defeat under these circnro stances, is more honorable to him, than is success to his opponent. His flag is still un furled and untarnished and will wave un til it crowns our, and bis, triumph on an other dar. Congressional Vote. Mercur Elected by a MeagTe Majority.

You have polled a larger vote lliau ever before ; have reduced the Radical majori ty of IS6G by nearly cne half, and liuve proven the immortality of your pi tic pies and the vitality ot your org;nizalioti. Radicalism has carried the Shale by m ans of the grossest outrages ; by open ly an I corruptly buying thousands of vo lets; by driving from the polls foreign born cit zcru regularly naturalized many years sinee; by rejecting the votes ot thoil-ands who were legally made citizen in the Court of Nisi Pitus; by violating and trampling upon the seal of thai Court a recognized symbol of the law ; by de • erring legal voters from approaching the polls through threatened penalties for im .ginary offences • and by the despotic and unscrupulous use of' power bv election officers in Radical Districts. Under the specious charge of fraud upon our part, Radicalism has perpetrated I lie vilest tiauds lhousauds of voters have been cuioniz- d, paupers assessed and vo ted, repeaters hired and voted five times in Radical precincts, returns of elections altered and manipulated to suit their own purposes, and fraudulent naturalization papers Lsued by the ream. In the Contest just closed you have learned their capacity foi violence and wrong, you have tested the strength of their organization and discovered the weak points in your own. W ilh the experience thns'gaiiied in the school ot adversity,*we will go forward to victory. The eneiny are yet to be taught that outiage and fraud, violence and wrong cannot he perpetrated with impunity ; they have yet to learn that you are neither dis mayed nor demoralized, and that in the puisuit of the right you kuow no such word as fail. Arouse the people once more for the conflict. Bring to the polls every Demo cratic vote. For right and justice give back right and justice For outrage and wrong return the full measure of swift letribution. The woik to he done is no holiday sport It is the last battle for the salva tion of the Republic, the preservation of the < and the supremacy of your race Work and fight as men engaged in such a cause should work and fight. By order ot the Democratic State Com mittee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE, Chairman. tS- FELLOW DEMOCRATS!

The offic al from all but four or five i j counties in tbe State—with estimates of ; those—gives the Radicals a majority <>f a . little less than 10,000. The aggregate vote I was about 700,000. The official will be j given in our next. This radical majority, meagre as it is, was secured by the most lavish use ol mon ies, raised by them as a corruption fund; anJ t>y the most unblushing frauds, pcrpe ' trted in Philadelphia and elsew here ! DEMOCRATS, you CAN and MUST I wipe out this majority, on Nov. 3d. | An earnest effort on your part will cer tainly give the Slate to Seymour and Blair!
