His Vote in this District.
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.

1 HILADKIPIIIA. )
To TIIK DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVANIA :
You have fought a good fight.
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! We
entreat you to make one more determined
and united effort to SECURE YOUR
COUNTRY AND YOUR LIBERTIES
irom the hands of its unprincipled and un
scrupulous enemies.
PREPARE FOR THE CONTEST on
TUESDAY NOV. 3d.
Let not a single Democratic vote be lost
ilirough negligence or unattention.
SEE THAT EVERY DEMOCRATIC
| VOTER, who has not paid a State or
i Countv tax within two years, IS ASSESS
ED on or before SATURDAY the 24th
I inst.
■ j TIIK NEW ASSESSOR*. — Those elect
:ed at the last January elections,are the onlv
1 ones now authorized to make the assess
ments. The terms of office of the old ones
1 ' expired on the 13th inst.
SEE THAT NO DEMO( RAT VOTE
i IS LOST FOR WANT OF NATURAL
IZATION—see regulations in to-davs pa
pers, on that subject.
GO TO THE POLLS EARLY!—
WORK ALL DAY!
ONE VOTE GAINED from every one
j hundred of the tadicals will GIVE the
i State to SEYMOUR A BLAIR bv a
i HANDSOME MAJORITY.
FELLOW DEMOCRATS! Let us all
; LABOR TO SECURE THIS GLO
| RIOUS RESULT !
The Result in the State.
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!
Let every man do his utmost to redeem
our noble eld Commonwealth !
A Conspiracy to Assassinate the Presi
dent Exposed,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.— The Express.
this afternoon, says it is in possession of j
evidence thai a conspiracy has been arrang
ed for the assassination of President John- .
son The plot was exposed by an employee
of the Treasury Department, who says the
plot wa arranged immediately after the
impeachment trial. A man named iieira- i
j burger is said to l> tbe leader of the assas- ;
i tint, who ars all negroes.
Temperadce and Radicalism.
Our tcmoerance friends wdi again have
jan opportunity of l< sling tin sincerity of
I tin ir br eil.ein, wL, in the Lodge and out
lof it, bave so often declaied ti.at temper
ance was pammount to all ot r principles
!or issues ; and temp nine- men tlie orlv
' men who should he put in office. We
j have seen in the !a! election, tl at these
: |>i'idesion> MIMI ileclaiMliotis amount to
; nothing at all except wlieie they oj rate
|in fitVor of radicalism. Wli n they hap
. pe.i to I ave a temperance man on tho'r
.ticket (which they rarely ever do) oppog
j ed by a I)i inocrat who does i ot In long to
; the Lodge ; in su< ha case, to vote for the
| Democrat, is with thine puritan hypocrites
j a great crime Mr. C. C. Mills ami other*
on our tie-el at the last election were
known, recognized leaders in the cause of
temperance. No Democrat refused to
vote for them because they were such ; nor
did they get a single vote on that nccount
from the party which arrogate- to itself all
the 4 decency, morality and t< mp< ranee."—
That party to a in.-in voted for the radi
cal candidates, some of whom litino
in open, notorious violation ot the licen-e
laws, by t! : unlceli-cd and mil ivvfi.l —v'e
of intoxicating liquors. We could call
names, hut it is not i ecessarv, in this
County. '1 lie facts we state are 100 pat
ent, too notorious to require it.
Horatio Seymour is known and admit
ted by all to be a tetlip<-ia!e man - ebiis
tain gentleman. Will he receive the sup
port of these prufessed temperance men ?
Or will they v> te for a man who lias re
peatchiy been charged by his own party
friends and supporters, with beastly drenk
eriness, in public places—and that too,
while holding an office second only in iitt
portauce to the Pres dency ? the office of
Lieutenant-General of tbe armies of the
United Slates.
No attempt lias been made by any man,
certainly no successful one, — to di-provi
these charges (one little "bat" in Nichol
son, it is true squeaked out that Grant
was a temp rate man. Because, sa\s this
1 would be owl ; "a landlord at Galena never
: saw bint drunk in all Ins life ! "
Wendell Phillips in the Anti-Shxtry
| Standard of Sept. 24th, like many others
]of thest men who preach one way aixl
practice another, after declaring that he
j will suppoit Grant, further says :
• WE HAVE LITTLE t ONFIDENCE
IN GRANT, * * * HE WAS DRUNK
IN THE PUBLIC STREETS SINCE
THE Ist DAY OF JANUARY.—
THIS IS A FACT AS PATENT AS
THE SUN AT NOONDAY; NONE
BUT THOSE TOO DISHONEST TO
BE 1 RUSTED WITH PUBLIC JOUR
NALS (RATS PASSING THEM
SELVES OFF FOR OWLS) DENY
IT."
e shall sec what confidence other
radical temperance men have in this drunk
len candidate for the Presidency. We
! shall see how sincere and' how consistent
i they are. We shall see what their exhor
tations to Democrats, to ignore party and
i support temperance nten and temperance
principles, are worth.

Death of Hon. Howell Cobb.
j ,
General Howell Cobb, of Georgia, and
late of.tbe Confederate army, dtopped dead
at the Fifth Avenue Motel, about half
] past ten o'clock on Friday evening. Be
sides filling many honorable offices in his
I Stale, he had repeated y represented his
district in Cungre-S ami wis Secretary ol
the Treasury during President Buchanan ">
Administration.
General Cobb, accompanied by Mrs.
' Cobb and Miss Cobb, arrived at the Ftftti
Avenue Hotel some time lro n the
South. Their stay was brief, and the
General and family left for Niagara Falls
and other points in ( anada for tno purpose
! of visiting friends. On the first ot Octo
j ber he, in company with Ins family, ar
i rived on their return trip at toe hotel.
| About ten o'clock on Friday, Colonel
! Williams, of Florida, callad at the hotel,
| accompanied by a clergyman Loin the
i South, and sent cards to the General's
rooms They were received, and alter the
' Genetal and the clergyman had participa
| ted iu an animated discussion the General
and Mis. Cobb proceeded to the stairs
leading from the parlor to the office, and
while iu the act of taking leave of liis
guests, the General was observed to sit
down on the stairs. A moment after, the
guests and Mrs Cobb observed a tremor of
tbe body and a sudden contraction of the
muscles ot tbe face. The attending pliv
sici.iii of the hotel was at once called, hut
before be could administer medical mine—
dies, the distinguished Statesman and t on
federate Geneial, who has acted so promi
nent a part iu the history of our coun
try, was carried into the reception room,
and in a few moments was a corpse. On
Saturday morning, at the instance of Col.
J. W tlliains, acting at the r< quest of the
relict of the deceased, the corpse was re
moved from the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
where he died so suddenly, to a Savannah
steamer, by which it will be taken to
Georgia for interment, Mrs. Cobb ano
daughter accompanying the remains.
GLORIOUS RESULT IN PHILADELPHIA.—
A Democratic Mayor lias been elected in
Philadelphia an I the Democratic State
and Countv tickets received handsome
majorities on Tuesday. The Age of Thurs
day says : "The returns deposited in the
l'hotlionotarv's office yesterday show that
all the Democratic officers on the city and
county tickets are elected by decided ma
jorities. Any attempt to cipher therr <ut
by expeits of the Ridieal ptriy will be so
palpable as r. arrest attention and ruhject
•he manipulate rs to well merited punish
ment.

NATURALIZATION
Courts for naturitlizHtion purposes will
lie held nt Scraiiton Oct. SUtli. Also at
ilkrs Hurt it on the sanu- <i*r.
The follow points in leference to the
Naturalization of aliens, though often pub
lished tnay i><>* yet b- latnihar to all:
1. In the case ot persons arriving in the
United S'iites under the age of 18 years, n
resilience of five years in the country, and
one year in this State, must he proved by
a citizen In en. b cases no previous dec
laration or "fiist papers - ' are required,
2. In the case of persons arriving in the
United States over 18 years of aur, „
five tears residence in thecountry and one
in the State mu-t be proved by a citizen.
In such cases, the applicant must have de
clared his intentions to become a citizen at
least two years before; and must show his
•'tir-t pipers," in order to get his second or
Hub papers " The witness in anv case must
be a citizen, and if naturalize i, should
have Ins papers of citizenship present
3 All'aliens residing in this country,
who were nuder the age of 21 years at the
date of the naluialization of their father,
aic thereby made citizens.
4. Aliens who have been engaged in the
military service of the United States, on
proof of residence within the United
States for one year and upwards, on pro
duction ot certificate of honorable dis
charge, are entitled to certificate of natu
lallzation. There is an impression that
such persons are entitled to vote, on the
productiou to the election board of their
cert ficate of discharge. This is a mistake.
They must have a certificate of naturaliza
tion from the Court.
FOREIGNERS, Jit AD ! The Evening
Bulletin contained the following atrocious
attack upon our adopted citizens. This is
the way the Radicals talk of foreigners
placing the negro above them, and stigma
tizing them as "Me lowest and vilest r/a.*>."
"Tho Democrats in this city, and proba
"bly in every other, are engaged in giving
"illegal naturalization papers to hundreds
"of foreigners who have been in this coiiri
•'try but a few months, and who arc of the
'"lowest and vilest class, haunting the detis
"of iinfamy in the most disreputable sec
tions of the city. It would he httec to
"//lace the franchise in the hands of the
'"moot stupid native uecrart, than to give it
'•to these men, w a no! only do not com
••ftrehmd cur institutions, hut are utterly
"incapable of doing no,"
tZT Go nmal Ulster ins says that when
his army was aflicted with scurvy, he
made an appeal to the Northern Govern
ors for vegetables. The only one that re
sponded to his appeal was lloralio Sey
mour, who sent one hundred and twenty
barrels of potatoes raisi d on his own farm.
The "War Governors" sent epistles lull of
"lovalty" and denunciations of all who
differed with the [Judical party, hut noth
ing for the suffering soldiers.

was sworn in. For his valuable services
he received bom the people's money Ins

labor, lie gave u minute exposition of the
debt and tax questions, showing that when
it reqmreu six hundred millions a vear to j
pay Hie current expenses of government.

upon every wotker.
The speaker favored the withdrawal ol
every acre of th : ptildic lands from the
hands o*' capitalists and speculators, — j
Within the last fifteen years Congress had
| given away land sufficient to furnish every
workmgman-in the nation with a farm. —

Osage laud swindle. A company vvwt- ot
ganized to btti d a railroad ousting $3,000-
000, anil asked $6.000,000 to enable tbetn
'to complete it. The speaker was offered
a township in Kansas, six miles square, to
vote for the bill, hut he refused to accept •
the bribe. The bill, fortunately, did nut j
pass Congressmen who were shrieking
for liberty and the rights of men bad en
