GO TO THE POLLS.
The‘Democratic party of Pennsylvania polled
at the last election over 230,000 votes, nearly
as many as were polled for Buchanan in 1856.
We were beaten; but this is no reason why
Democrats should stay away from the election
on Tuesday next. The Republicans polled over
262.000 votes, giving them some 32,000 ma—
jority in the State. In the aggregate this ap
pears to be every large majority; but when
we consider that twenty-three votes were given
to Foster for every twenty-six votes given to
Curtin, the difference between the two parties
is not so great as it seems. In erery hundred
votes cast at the last election the Republican
majority was about six; so that a change of
three votes in every hundred would neutralize
Onrtin’s majority of 32,000 in the State. This
View presents some inducement for Democrats
to exert themselves, in order that the full vote
may be given to the Reading electoral ticket.
If every Democrat in the'Stote would try to
make a. change of six votes in every hundred,
either by bringing out afuller Democratic vote,
or by inducing some of those who voted for
Gurtin, but who are not attached to the extreme
doctrines of the Republican party, to go for
the Reading electoral ticket, the State would
yet be carried against Lincoln. ‘
Some Democrats may think that there is no
use of their going to the election. befiuse there
isno chance of defeating Lincoln. This is a
miserable excuse. There will certainly be no
chance if Democrats stay at home on the day
of election. The way to make our prospects
good is to work for it. No man ever attained
success in life by folding his arms in despair
at the prospect; and no party ever secured vic—'
tory without unremitting, incessant and hope»
fnl exertions. It is a duty which every Ameri
can citizen owes to his country and to the cause
of good government to exercise his right of ya.
ting for President of the United States. The
man who neglects this duty is not a good citi
zen. He has no part in the government. He
allows others to govern him. It is ourhighest ;
privilege to choose our own rulers; we would
fight to the death for this right against any
power that should attempt to deprive us of it;
but _it would look as if we regarded this inesti
noble privilege, secured for us at so great a
cost, as worthless, if we should fail to use it.
We may not have the brightest prospects of
success, but this should deter no man from per
forming his whole duty. It is possible that
when it comes to voting for a sectional candi
date like Lincoln, many moderate men who
voted for Curtin will conclude that the peace
and prosperity of the country demand Lin
coln’s defeat. A very slight reaction among
this class of men would be sufiicient to dissi
pate Curtin’s majority. Democrats should put
themselves ina. position to reap the benefits of
such a change; which they can only do by
casting afull and united vote for the Reading
electoral ticket. Think of this, and act upon
it without a. moment’s hesitation or delay.
Another reason why a full Democratic vote
should bepolled against Lincoln is derived from
the fact that we should strengthen our protest
against the election of a Republican sectional
President. If the Southern States, now soap
prehcnsive that the success of Lincoln will
prove destructire of all their rights and imperil
their security within the Union, see that a very
large minority of the citizens of Pennsylvania
are ready to interpose for their defence, un
awcd by discouraging circumstances, it will
have a powerful tendency to allay their appro
hensions. They will feel more disposed to
commit their rights to the keeping of the un.
dismayed Northern minority, than to trust to
their own unaided attempts to secure their
rights within the Union; and they can look
with confidence to the time when this resolute
minority will be converted into a triumphant.
majority. The Democratic party has a future
It must emerge from the cloud before long—-
and it will come out into the sunshine much
sooner if it displays its vitality at this election 1
than if it bows to the storm. ' ‘
A Theatrical Performance
Shortly after the Governor’s election it was
sated that John W. Forney had been burned
in effigy in the .city of Lancaster. The afi‘air
afforded nndisguised satisfaction. to Forney,
who at once attributed this indignity to the
President of the United States and his follow.
era. The Press was delighted at this mark of
respect for its illustrious editor, who indulged
in a. column of self-glo‘rification at the occur:
.mce, and laid fresh claims to the honor of
Wyrdom. From the avidity with which the
incident. was seized as an occasion for exposing
393 th gaze of the charitable n“ the cruel
wounds that Forney received in his heroic and
self-sacrificing encounters with the National
Administration, there was reason to suspect
that the burning in efligy was a. piece of tragic
acting, with the value of which Mr. Forney’s
long intimacy with stage performances had
made him tolerably familiar. Those who only
saw the performance before the scenes, were
transported with indignation at the thought
that the Whole time of the _President and his
Cabinet was passed in derisingplnus for heaping
cruel indignities upon the meek and virtuous
hero of this moving tragedy. But at the risk
of spoilingthe illusion, the Lancaster Intelli
flencer raises the curtain and lets us into the
secret of this efiigy-burniug. It. appears that
the parties who piled the merciless faggots
about the form of the faithful Forney were
mainly composed of the friends of Mr. Douglas.
Of course no uncharitable persons will think of
accusing Forney of having a hand in his own
martyrdom.
Lincoln Making Overtures to the South.
The most extraordinary and significant po—
litical movement of the day, is the attempt of
some of the confidential friends of Lincoln to
allay the excitement in the South by assu
rances that. Lincoln, in the event of his elec
tion, will abandon the radical Republicans to
their fate, and pursue a. moderate and conser
vative policy in the administration of the Gov
ernment. The prospect of Lincoln’s election
has already opened the conflict within the ho
som of the Republican party between the ultras
and the moderates, which promises to increase
in intensity; and to leave no leisure for the “ ir
repressible conflict” against the South.
One of these evidences of the desire of Lin
coln to conciliate the South by fair promises of
good behavior, is to be found in the letter of
John D. Defrees, of Indiana, :1. bosom friend of
Abe Lincoln’s, addressed to a gentleman of
Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Defrees depreeaies
the agitation of the South, and seeks to prove
that it. is founded upon a total misconception of
the purposes of the Republican party, which,
he says, are all summed up in the folldwing
synopsis of its platform:
1. Non-inierfercnce with slaveryin the slave States
but opposition to its extension into Territoriesnow free
2. To procure a more eflicient law or the sppresslon
of the slave trade. .
3. The admission of Ksnstia under her present constitu
tion. A
4 A revenue lat-w, discriminating in fawn: of home in
dustry, for the support 01' the government.
5. A reform in the abuses and a. reduction in the ex
penditures of the General Government.
6. A. liberal Homestead law for actunl settlers on the
public lands '
7. The improvement of rivers and harbors of national
interest.
8. The speedy construction. by mid of the General‘
Gonrument, of a railroad to the Pacific.
This looks very fair; but is it. a truthful ex
position of the purposes of the Republican
party ?
if the Republicen party is opposed to inter
fering with slavery in the slave States, what
did Mr. Seward mean when he announced the
doctrine that the conflict between freedom and
slavery—that is between free and slave States
——would continue until all become free or all
slave? And what did Mr. Lincoln mean when
he said that this Government could not endure
permanently half slave and half free? Is it
strange that the South should construe these
expressions to mean that Republicanism is
only the commencement of a conflict which is
to continue until slavery is forcibly abolished
in every State where it now exists?
There is considerable humbug in the other
Republican principles here specified. Let us
take the fifth specification as a text, and those
that follow as comments. It is announced as
the purpose of the Republican party to reform
the abuses and reduce the expenses of the Gen
eral Government; and this economical policy is
to be accomplished by the following novel
means:
By a. liberal Homestead law, giving away the
public lands, and thereby reducing the revenue
of the Government.
By large appropriations from the National
Treasury for the improvement of rivers and
harbors, thereby furnishing fat contracts for
the army of expectants of government patron
age, and draining the Treasury of millions
upon millions annually. ‘ I
By constructing a. railroad immediately to the
Pacific at the cost of many millions of dollars.
This is one of the most notable instances of
how not to do it on recond. In one breath we
are assured that the Republicans intend to ad
minister the Government upon principles of the
strictest economy; and in the very next breath
that they intend spending money most lavishly
for public improvements. We should like to
know by what process Lincoln intends “_to re
“duce the expenses of the General Govern
“ment,” while he gives away the public lands,
improves the rivers and harbors, and builds a
railroad to the Pacific. Is there any newly
discovered method by which the revenues can
be diminished and the outlay increased, while
the expenses of the Government are reduced
and the Treasury kept full?
But it is evident that Lincoln, who sees that
somebody must be disappointed in the event of
his election, has commenced coquetting with
the South to allay their apprehensions, by as
surances that his policy will be harmless, and
that he can roar as gently as a sucking dove.
The papers are filled with rumors of overtures
made on his behalf by his confidential friends
and advisers. The following from the Washr
ington correspondent of the Herald will be read
with interest: ' -
LINCOLX’S POLICY IN CASE HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT
Tom 00min writes to a. friend here assuring him the-.t
everythiniwill vet come out nght. He says if Lincoln

idents that ever occupied the White House. Rely“ u

ITALIAN TRAITS.
At this time, when the general attention of
the public mind, both in Europe and this
country, is directed to the events occurring in
the Italian peninsula, the moral character of the
Italian people becomes of interest. The fact
that Mazzini has begun to exercise an influence
‘upon the revolutionary movements in Naples,
gives great importance to the other fact, that
the Italian of to-day, and especially the inhabi
tant of the southern portion of the peninsula,
is totally unfit for self-government. Centuries
of misrule have developed in him those vices
which are ever the attributes of the weak and
oppressed—cowardice and deceit. Among all
other nations, courage and truthfulness are
virtues which, if a man do not possess himself,
he yet respects in others, but the Italian does
neither. And such is the state of moral feel
ing on the subject that he not only entertains,
but will not hesitate to express his contempt for
the Weakness which would lead a man to per
form an not simply because it is right, when it
would be to his disadvantage to do so.
Of this a curious illustration recently pre
sentcditself. Macaulay, in his essay on Ma.-
chiavelli, to sustain the position he assumes
with regard to the difference in moral zsenti
ment which existed in the fifteenth century,
between Italy and the rest of civilized Europe,
goes on to say that had Othello been represented
before an Italian audience of that day, the
whole of the sympathies of those who Witnessed
the play would have been with lago, rather
than with Othello.
Othello, says Macaulay, muders his wife;
he gives orders for the murder of his lieutenant;
he ends by murdering himself. Yet he never
loses the esteem and affection of northern
readers. His intrepid and ardent spirit re
deems everything. lago, on the contrary, is
the object of universal loathing. Now, we
suspect that an Italian audience of the fifteenth
century would have felt very dilferemly.—
Uthello would have inspired nothing but desta
tion and contempt. The folly with which he
trusts the friendly professions of a man whose
promotion he has obstructed, the credulity with
which he takes unsupported assertions and
trivial circumstances for nnanswerable proofs,
the violence with which he silences the excul
pation till the exculpation can only aggravate
his misery, would have excited the abhorrenoe
and disgust of the spectators. The conduct of
lago they would assuredly have condemned;
butnthey would have condemned it as we con
demn that of his victim. Something of interest
and respect would have mingled with their dis
approbation. The readiness of the traitor’s
wit, the clearness of hisjudgment, the skill with
which he penetrates the dispositions of others
and conceals his own, would have secured to
him a certain portion of their esteem. Same
months ago an American gentleman, resident in
one of the cities of Southern Italy, witnessed
this very play rendered in Italian, and the hy
pothetical case presented by the great historian
as likely to occur in the fifteenth century be
came a. reality in the nineteenth. The feeling
of the audience was unmistakably with lago,
and more than once contempt for the credulity
and weakness of Othello was audibly expressed
by persons in various parts of the house.
Yet it is from a. people like this that Ma.-
zini and his fellow enthusiasts dream of crea
ting the supporters and defenders of a republic.
Unhappily, even Garibaldi seems to have
caught the infection of their delusive hopes ;
and although he has not yet openly announced
his republican leanings, it is not impossible, to
say the least. that we shall receive news that
he has done so. A more fatal step for the fu
ture welfare of both Sicily and Naples, he could
not Well take. In being united to Sardinia,
alone lies their hope of permanently enjoying
the freedom they have recently gained—The
World.
NEW YORK—v“ Ion,” the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing un
der ‘date of October 29, says: '
A hopeful feeling as to the result of the Pres
idential election in New York begins to prevail
here, in consequence of the favorable report
brought by Secretaries Cobb and Thompson
from New York, concerning the political aspect
of that State. Both of these gentlemen were
led to believe, from What they observed in New
York, the Union electoral ticket would be car
ried. I learn also that Mayor Wood, who has
heretofore despair-ed of success, nowconfidently
believes that the Union ticket will prevail. His
advices from the interior are supposed to be cor
rect, and they are such as to give him assurance
of a Union triumph. The estimates made by
the Albany Argus and the New York Journal of
Commerce are plausible and hopeful. It is too late
to change votes in the rural districts, but not
to save all the stray and loose voters. Money
and vigilance can do this. But after all it is
upon the city and its vicinity that the consor
valives must chiefly rely for the defeat of Lin
coln. They can give sixty thousand majority
against Lincoln. 'lf they do he will be de
feated.
Tim GREAT Barnes—The Great Eastern is
now left under the charge of Mr. Davies, the
oflicer of the decks, who has made a wonderful
revolution in the appearance of the ship, and
that, too, with but half a dozen men, as she is now
very nearly all re-painted. Captain John Vine
Hail, Mr. Bold, managing director, and Mr.
McLennan, the chief engineer, have been paid

close of the present month, to shut up the ship
altogether, and pay elf all hands. This would
be but. bad economy, as, toA-‘say nothing of the
damage to the machinery from having no one
to attend to it, the dampness of the climate at
Milford Haven will efi‘eciually rot all the
splendid hangings of the saloons unless fires
be from time to time burnt in them. The sum
required for the new decks and alterations in
the bearings of Ihe screw shaft will cost about
£lO,OOO in themselves, besides the cost of the
heating apparatus. The ship will remain in
her present position for some months, as after
Sunday next the spring tides will not again be
sufficiently high until Christmas to float her.—
She is now placed in a perfectly sheltered
position from the only wind that. could blow

Tm: MYSTERY or Benetton—The detection
of a. forgery by the paying teller of the Bank of
the Republic, New York, on Saturday, was a
remarkable instance of the unconscious dexter
ity Which long habit gives. The check appeared
to be drawn by a well known” house, and was
upon the peculiar kind of blank used by that
house. A teller’s eye learns to connect the
usual writing of every dealer with the blank
commonly used by him—its shape, color, and
even texture—so that; the thing becomes a unity
in his mind, or rather, to his perception. The
smallest variation therefore, makes a discord,
and induces scrutiny. In this case the clerk
could not tell what it was that led him to ex
amine the signature, which, although it proved
a forgery, was so closely imitated, that a care
ful comparison with the genuine hardly justified
suspicion. But. he remembered that, as he tank
the check in hand, the paper seemed a, little
stifi‘er than that commonly used by the firm.—
so slight are the clues, sometimes, that lead to
the discovery of crime.

A MAN FATALLY INJURED BY ms Wire.—
The New York Tribune of Monday says: About
12 o’clock on Friday night, oflicer Galahan, of
the sth precinct, was attracted to a tenement
house in North Sixth street, E. D., by the cry
of murder. Upon entering the apartment from
where the. cry proceeded, he found a man lying
upon the floor, and the blood flowing from a
frightful cut on his head, while a woman stood
over him brandishing a large case knife and
threatening to kill him. The man and woman
were both taken to the station house, where
medical aid was provided for the man, whose
injuries, it is feared, will prove fatal. The
woman gave her name as Mary Maloney, and
said the man was her husband, and she had
