A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, an d effectual for preserving the hair. It soon restores faded or gray hair to its original color, with , the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is'thickened, falling hair checked, and baldnesS often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; lint such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu-, 0 fated into activity, so that a new groWth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- Mont, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair frolic turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma tion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju rious co the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Any one accustomed only to read the fulmi nations of partisan pernocrautattainut the par ty that has now been dominant in the Repoli lie for the past twelve years, might be apt to suppose that the It-publicans had spent their time in seeking out methods of crushing and humiliating the conquered people (tithe south, and had totally neglected the great interests of that important region. Yet bow stands the actual record ? We ask attention to it as the best reply to all these studied perversions and misrepresentations, as this will show_any candid mind that our party has labored earn estly to obliterate the miseries of the war, to rebuild the shattered industries of the south, and to give her agricultural productions once more their vast importance in international commerce. When the confederate armies surrendered, the men comprising them were disbanded on their simple parole as soldiers, and perntitteti to return to their southern homes, taking with them their horses and wagons to assist them in the cultivating and restocking of; heir ruin ed farms and plantations,and even their small arms to enable them to protect their families and property against banditti. It tll , lB Inure. diaiely predicted, by those who were d ter. mined not to see renewed prosperity ahead, that these disbanded soldiers would organize guerilla parties and continue the war in wearisome and ruinous way at their homes; but they showed themselves worthy of their race. No guerillas were ever heard of. And at once the southern States begun to reap pear. Jut in thousands of cases the ravages of war had left whole districts in danger of starvation. In this crisis the Republican Ad ministration ordered free' rations to be die tributed to all the destitute • and for many months this generous dist ribution of supplies fed people who had no other dependence. This relief also sustained the swarms of slaves who hail been set free without any means of sub4stance, until the farmers and. planters could get their establishments In order and af fin d employment to field hands.. But it'inny tie doubted whether the planters could have successfully reorganized their enterprises had it not been for the essential services rendered by the Freedmen's Bureau, under the au spices of General Howard. In this Bureau the freedmen reposed the most implicit confi dence, and under its management planers and field hands were' brought together again. Uonclliation was the plan everywhere, anti the planter learned for the first time that he could get his work well done without punish. went or terrorism. The very first year of this experience show• ed the rapid recovery of cotton,tobaCco,suear, rice, and all the other staples of the south un• der this practical application r.f reason and common sense to the details• We appeal to merchants and business men who unierstand these things, aud who know that ouch results Cannot he achieved by trilling means. We ask them to begin wail the year 1861,nnd fol low up for themselves the actual ate is les of production in these great staples, and to re flect upon the absolute ruin in which the south was plunged when the war closed in 1805. Then we ask them to take the national census of 1870, and see how even manufactur• Ing industry has also Incr.:used rapidly at the south, notwithstanding the labor troubles. These southern manufactures owe their pro gress, under such extraordinary circumstan ces, entirely, to the Republican policy of pro tendon to home industry, without which southern manufactures would now be out of existence. When the war closed all the southern mall routes were re-established, at a heavy expense to the government, and places that had been wholly ignored by the confederate postal ser vice for four years had regular mails and post offices under the United States Government. Before this restoration our p stal service showed no deficiency of revenue to meet and balance expenditures; hut ever since the resto ration the deficiel cy has been five millions of dollars a year, thus showing that it is the Re publican north that willingly pays for Stores toration and maintenance of the lull southern mail service. The public lands in the south .helonging to the national government have been by an act of Congress, thrown open to settlers' inder the free homestead law, so that the poor white sandhillers, and landless pri vates of the confederate armies have been ob fered the opportunity of acquirlug permanent homes of their own, which many of them have embraced. Thelmmeese amount of rail- way materials, rails, sleepers, ties, bridges, ' engines and cars In possession of the national government at the close of the war,i was sold to the southern railway companies on credit whereby they were enabled at once to repair and stock their lines and resume active opera tions, the effect of which upon southern agri culture,mining, manufactures and trade can not be over estimated. The governMent has been the most lenient of creditors to these companies being most anxious that the roads should rise to a condition culculated to stimu late southern progress. Under the act of the redistribution of na tional banking, capital and currency, the large majority of the additional capital hes been al lowed to the south; and although the south has been slow about taking it up, yet consid- erable progress has been made, and the gov• Mum. nt leaves the act still in existence and the opportunity open for the south to accept all It can. Ae a eonsilueace of all these measures, banking, railways, manufactures and general trade at the Booth eithiliit a re markable progressive tendency. More miles of new railway have been Wilt and put in op• erasion than in any former period,ot the same extent. , As for the policy of vengeance, imputed to the Hepublicans, any one who looks for It will Beard' in vain. No one has beep executed for treason of rebellion. Not n man has been tried for it. Not a man has been imprisoned for it. The disabilities sn much complained of do not applp to more than three Imndreil of the worst cases—men who were in the Unit ed States army or navy, or in Congress or the Cabinet or other high official position, bound by oath to the national service, apd who de— serted to the enemy.

It has stood the test of ; years, with a con stantly growing rep utation, based on its A Widow nod Eight Children Burned. The St. Paul, Minn., Dispatch of the Bth says : A most terrible calamity', occurred be tween 10 and 11 o'clock Saturday night, in Reserve township, about three arida half mile from the city. Joseph Wessinger formerly lived and worked a twenty acre tract of laud in Reserve township. Three Aare .ago last lull he died, leaving his wife ,Madeltue and eight children. Up stairs there-was but one eroom. In the bed room down stairs the mother, William, Madeline and Mary slept. Up vdairs, Charlie, Catherine, Tracy, Joseph and Christina had their beds. They returned abo'ut ton o'clock Saturday night, and half an hour later Cath— erine was awakened by a stilling sensation which she found to be occasioned by smoke coming up from the kitchen below. The stairway from the chamber led into the kitch en, and she found opening the door that that means of escape was cut off. She aroused her brother Charles, and sprang through a window which opened upon a shed and 1-om the shed leaped to the ground. Charles Jumped to the ground 'front another window, thinking he ought arrest the pro gress of the fire and Catharine broke in the window of her mother's room rind roused her to her danger, but she and all . the children with her were considerably burned. Charles finding the flames could not be stayed, climbed back into the chamber to save the children. He found Tracy and dropped her out of the window. He could hear Chris tine moving about the room and groped about to find her but did not succeed, and finally af ter being to rrihly and it Is feared fatally burned, was compelled to aoaudon her and Joseph to the flames. During yesterday the charred remains attic. two children were found, and such portion,' DEATH IN THE FLAMES. as were not wholly destroyed were placed in a collie and buried In the Catholic cemetery. From the location of the body it is thought that Joseph never awoke, but was burned in his bed. The nearest neighbor was Henry Hern, who lived forty or fifty rods from the Wessinger place; The first alarm the Hems had was the firing of three guns which hung in the burn• ing building and were discharged by the tire. These and other neighbors went to th.• scene. but It was too late to save life or properly. 01 the live members of the family now suffering agony, It is thought three will survive. • Despatches from Huntaville, Ala., State that rains In that section have dono much damage to the crops.

Harper's Weekly says: One of the most common arguments in favor of the election of Mr. Greeley is that it will reconcile the South. It is time, we are told, that the war should be forgotten, and the people of the Southern States made to feel that they are brethren. Come, then, cries the sage, Let usclasp hands over the bloody chasm, and lift me into the White Boum—Simultaneously with this cry we sea that Betiuregard, Wade Hampton, Raphael Semmes, and other well known late Confederate chiefs declare for Mr. Greeley. The Virginia Convention elects Fitz Ilugh Lee, Bradley Johnson, Robert Ould, John B. Baldwin, Thomas S. Bocock and others—all of them conspicuous military and civil officers during the rebellion—delegates to Baltimore. In the city of Baltimore the First Greek} , Club of Maryland is addressed by Colonel Harry Gilmore, the lender di the rebel raid around that city, and Colonel Verger, of most latnentablo fame in connection wills the Geer gift assassination. Beriah Magoffin, tacky, who defied President Lincoln's proc• 'foliation, pronounces for Mr. Greeley ; and ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina, tells the story of " Old Grithes." and declares that, if it be in the hymn-book, It must be sung ; that Mr. Greeley, nominated at Baltimore, be supported as the regular 'Democratic (date. must catt.li Now what we are all concerned tp know is the significance of this Southern support of Mr. Greeley. Four years ago the support of these same persons, given to Mr. Seymour, who was then the regular Democratic candl date, watathe argument most strongly urged againSt Him by Mr. Greeley, the preirat Dem ocratic candidate. If that support, then, was an ar i gnment against the success of the Demo. cmtic party, less so now Y It was then said, allic4iittry; that the Republicap policy towordsrthcfStiuth was. harsh and cr4el; and thal l the - puccess of the Democrats would he eeearnest of fraternity and peace, and would . e oncde# South. But in what way was it . dp. , it?''Ry restoring to power the political party to which the leaders of the rebellion had always belonged. And that was the very reason why Mr. Seymour was defeated. The loyal American people did not believe that Democratic success, or an Administration elected by Democrats, was the true method of conciliation. FM they knew that a Demo. cratic "conciliation of the tioutia' ! ironeant the modification and repeal of itle Republican .01Iey. And In that they saw only confusion nd danger. lapis situation changed because the candi date is different 1 Not at all. It lb not fra• . terulty, nor rec mcilintinn, nor unity which the representative Southern leaders desire. flay wish power, and their way to poWer is the success of the Democratic party. The Southern support Is given to Mr. Greeley be. jukl.lle Democratic candidate, not be• ,stunie ereproents an abstract policy of fra• 'teriiiti , or redonentation. The speech otGov ernor Vance shows the exact Southern 'posi• tion. Ile says that " the South," meaning the littarehels, have an earnest desire to forget the Itail'ess Of the past, and that the Cincinnati n V . ftnt,ton has proved that a large body of its tprinePtiv i mies are desirous of shaking hands ; there ore, ho says, the South will cheerfully support Mr. Greeley—if the Bald Convention nominates him ! Precisely. It Is not Cincinnati, it is not Greeley, it is not fraternity, etc., it is the regular Democratic candidate, that they propose to support. It tie-re were three candidates In the field—Gen• eral Grant, Mr. Greeley and a "straight" Democrat, regularly nominat«l—does any body suppose that Governor Vance and Wade Hampton and Beriah Magoffla and Harry Gilmore and Yerger and Beauregard and Ra phael Semmes,or those whose sentiments they represent, would vote for Greeley and Repub lican fraternity and reconciliation rather than for the " straight" Democrat ? Let us look at facts, not sentimental theo ries. The desire of "the South"—in Gover- nor Vance's sense—is to shako hands with the loyal North by securing a Democratic return to power, beams° the Democratic party op. posed the war and the settlements of the War, and while it " acquiesces," does not believe. 111 r. Wade Hampton, for instance, has al- ways represents I the most perilous oilmen in this country. But he is a man of courage character and convictions changed since his attendance upon the Tam many Convention in 1808, Width nominated Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair. He sup• ports Mr. Greeley In '72 for the same reason he supported Mr. Seymour In '6B ; not be cause he is anxious for what is called reconcil •intiou, but because he wishes power. And if it mere otherwise, what then I If these gen tlemen had abandoned their theories of the government, had conquered the feelings of their defeat, and had acquiesced in the settle• merit of the Union, do they represent Mild efices which it i is desirable to introduce into the administration ? Are they more devoted to the principles to which they yield than those who have always maintained them ? Are they more likely to protect the colored citizen to pay the debt honorably, to keep the peace with loreign powers than the Republicans? In the minority they are valuable, in the ma- Priv they would be dangerous. The sectional aspect 'of our politics is de plored by every . good citizen. But it is the result of circumstances for which wo to•day are not responsible, and it is not to be reme died at bitrarily, mechanically, or sentimen tally; Reconciliation will not result from taking the control of the government from New England, tho Middle States and • the Northwest and giving it to the South and border States, The power must remain where it is,because there the principles of tho new Union are is living fa alt ; and that power must ho exercised with exact regard for "equal justice." This must be demanded But it is not to be expected of Republicans who are Intelligent and believe In the policy of equal rights, still less Is it to he expected of Democrats, whose traditions despise equality. If there have been laws that seem hard, it Is because in the presence of the great organized Democratic party at the North in alliance with " The South" the equality of all citizens could not otherwise be secured. The float defeat and dissolution of the Democratic party at thin election will open a way for a perfect and ftlendly reconciliation. For it will show "the South"—by which we mean a sentiment rath er than any' persons—and nothing else can show it, that old things have passed away. "The South" will not believe It as long as the present Democratic party exists. And there lore the success of that party, whether its can didate be Horace Greeley or Governor Vance; would merely open a vista of endless confu sion, doubt and peril.

Ido nut exaggerate when I say, that to sea hint eat—if sue has already eaten, and suffers no. danger from loss of appetite—is "better than a circus," or any other harmless but enabling amusement, for which one may haven weak ness. He treats his food as tie cloven nomina tion he doesn't like—he "bolts" it. When he lunches the waiters become nemented'; when he takes full meal he throws the Slaughter of the Innocents completely in the shade. his upper and nether jaws constitute a huge crushing machine, the capacity of which is only limited by the extrentest culina ry possibilities of the most extensive hotel— they part and meet again like old friends from a long journey.

THE SODA WATTLE QUESTION. After the arduous duties of opening the con vention, we remained long at table, and wish ing to feel the negro pulse relative to live po— litica) issues or the day proceeded to formally intervievi William, our colored boy. We opened our C01:10113Uti011 in tie following cautious manner : Well, William, what do you think of all this toss, and who ure you for '1" Tell you, sah. l'se for de man dat settles do soda water question," responded our sable friend. tt What soda water question ?" we inquired.

Toe Southern States, which bad been sauteing their votes on Cease Brown, and Trumbull, hurried. to change them to the winning man, and the announce-. meats were made amid loud cheers and storms of bases front the floor and galleries. Crirs of " shame l" and yells of delight were min gled In the common discord. Every man's face was a study. hundreds of delegates stamped their feet and swore. Judge flottlly of the 01110 delegation, shook with rage. Stan ley Mathews swelled until it seemed as If he would burst. The pig Iron arrow which he shot at McClure the night before had been turned, and'now pierced his own side. The face of the " independent journalists." which had a few moments before been aglow with joyful hope at the splendid vote of Adams, tom grew black under the overspreading clouds of disappointno.nt and disgust. The countenance of Schurz was a fresh study for the facile pencil of Nast. The audience seemed to become enraged and delighted by turns flats flew wildly, while anathemas and maranathemas were hurled at the heads of tile tricksters who had effected the con summation. During the intermission the ace. e was changed from the appalling to the ludicrous. The men at first stunned at the result began to realize the length and breadth of the farce, and then to laugh immoderately. Among the jourualista the comments were vs. rious, as they telegraphed reserved comments or lubtructionsto their papers. Samuel Bow lea was asked what he was going to do about It, and replied that he - .vas "going to think about it." Halstead, the Murat of " Inds pendon t journalists," swore with an omphat , c oath ; Watterson, of the Louisville l ourier Journal, surveyed his wrecked hopes with a sickening sensation ; while Bromley, of the Hartlord Post.at once bought a ticket for the Mammoth Cave, remarking, with Unit characteristic se— verity which never permits him to Spoil a joke, even at the expense of his friends, that having seen one " mammoth cave," he desired to see the other in Kentucky. • VOTE FOR ME I To the Republicans : • • Am I not the first and only "original Ja cobs?"

H. G. Buckalenr a Corrupt Public Officer, and a most tshameful Plunderer. From tho Miners' Journal The particular friends of Mr. Buckalew, Ineluding the Immaculate Forney, boast that ho is an honest man. We deny the assertion and can prove him to be one of the most shameful and daring public plunderers in the State, and we challenge any person to deny We have 33 Senators, and we find by the report of the Auditor General, that for the year.endiog Nov. 80, 1860, when that body had a majority of Republicans, the pay of the Senators for a whole session of the Legislature, Including their mileage and stationery, was as follows : Pay of members, Including mileage and statimery. --- $35,475. 80 At the last session of the Legislature a com mittee was appointed to Investigate the elec thin of Cray and McClure, which was composed of four Democrats and three Republicans. 01 this committee Senator Buckalew was chair man, and had the casting vote. This com a' ittee altogether did not sit, including all the sessions, more than five continuous days. It was.held in Philadelphia. All the members had free tickets by rail to travel backvitards and forwards. All their expenses for board and liquors, &c., were paid by the State for this comm Mee of seven, at the Washington House. They made the State pay a bill for their board and use of the committee room, of $2.804 85, equal to $342 for each member. All their assistants were paid heavily a7so, as the Items of the shameful hill - will show. The mem• hers of the Ce;mmittee were paid $lOOO for their services as Senators. As Senators they made this investigation, and all extra expenses they had charged to the State—yet this committee, of which Mr. Buckulew was chairman, vo•ed themselves $5OO each out of the State Treasu— ry in addition to their salary. The taking of this $5OO additional out of the Treasury was absolute stealing. But Mr. Buckalew took it and sanctioned it. It amounted to about $75 pay for each member for each meeting they held, which was open robbery—they stole it because they had the p,wer to take It, Just as a robber does when he has the pbwer. But this is not all—they stole for all their friends thousands'of dollars, and run up a bill to thq.amount of no less than $26,066.11 for this investigation, when the actual expenses need not that exceeded $6,000, and would not have exceeded it, If conducted honestly. We hero assert that convicted robbers, who are now servir g out their time in the peniten tiaries of the State;are not as guilty as this committee, because these persons were public officers, sworn to protect the interests of the people whom they represented, and the chair. man who approved of and sanctioned such wholesale thieving, is the most criminal of the whole lot. Public plunderers and thieves may sanction such conduct, and pronounce it hon est, because these men had the power to steal in their public capacity ; but no honest man, we care not to what party he may belong,can sanction such conduct, much less support such a man for Governor of the State, who would thus use his position to steal the public funds for himself and those around him. We do nounce the Republican members of that com— mittee just as much as we do the Democratic members ; but the Democrats had the control ling power, and they had the power to check it, if even'one of the members desired tb do so—but they dtd not, and the chairman of the committee approved of it. Here are the items of expenses of that swindling committee, which is 'unparalleled in the history of the State: • For reporters 11,1 their assistants $2,417 60 For priutlett evidence.

Reader, did you ever see such hems of expenses for a committee sitting altogether only about five continuous devil? Not one•fourth of these witnesses were examined. Every swindling charge that was presented by troth parties was accepted by this committee and ordered to be paid, it made no difference about the amount; and McClure served eighteen or twenty days, and they paid WM his salary fur the whole session, and paid him and Gray also extraor dinary expenses, each $2500. Now, recollect, reader, that honest man Buckalew was a mem ber of this committee, and chairman, wit% the controlling vote, and ho could have checked this infamous stealing of the public money, If be chose, by refusing to sanction it ; but did he do it ? An honest chairman would have said at once that he would not sanction such wholesale stealing of the public funds of the State ; and If that would not have been su9l• cient, he would have refused to serve in that position. But did he do It? If he did, we never heard of it before ; and, therefore, of course be sanctioned It, and, therefore, Is the meet guilty robber of the whole committee, for he professes to be, and his friends say he Is, an honest man. We deny It, and we have adduced the proof in the above swindling bill of an Investigating Committee of which he was a member, In session only a few days, and Which, wo repeat, Is unpamlleled In steal- Inge by members of the Legislature.

They did not pass the resolution to buy It, and it was not bought.—Buckalew, as chairnitirPO. this committee, if an honest man, could have done the same.

ON the Fourth of July Vice President Col fax delivered an interesting and able address to the citizensof a Michigan town,in the coure of which ho characterized the United States a " the h ;pe of the poor men of the world"-al. tributing its growing greatneseto the fact the' its institutions have gradually been brought Into harmony with the divinely enunciated principle " There shall be but one manner o' law for him that was born among you and the stranger." True. At least no thoughtful man can doubt that In the degree in which the institutions and practices of men and nation accord with the great primal laws to whiel, creation moves, serenity and safety come of such obedience. But how long would the United States remain "the poor man's hope," , should the following platform of one of the, strongest Greeley journals in the country— printed only three days before the assembling of the Baltimore Convention—ever be carried out? . _ " White supremacy and. dr/ r on. "Thy Constitution of 1860 and' .A - 1 . .of States!" "This is a white man'._made by white men, for white m.. • ir Postern) forever I" " Down with th Amend• meet 1" " The repudiation etfou Yankee war debt I—and that accure:. nett} stiinponal burden I accumulated by an uncon stitutional mob, styling itself a Congress, the, prosecution of an unconstitutional crusade, for the accomplishment of au unconstitutional and horrid purpose I" Through what unspeakable sacrifice and` suffering our country has lifted itself to fire and stable ground, the history of the past tan or twelve years shows. And the question which is fairly and squarely before the people is, whether, having put the life of their land Into harmony with the universe, they winnow become a party to its own and their own un doing. SO MANY people, Democrats especially, in slat that the Democracy as a whole will soon er of later fall Into the ranks and vote for Greeley, that we suppose they speak thdtruth. It may be that a large majority of the party intend thus to stultify themselves. At the same time we are well assured that many Democrats are not yet prepared for the deg— radation. The Philadelphia -Demokrat, the most widely circulated aid most Influential German Democratic paper in Pennsylvania, expresses, wo doubt not, the mind of a multi tude of American as well as German members of the party when it says : " Greeley Is no Democrat, and if the De mocracy set him up as their standard bearer, while Greeley himself declares that he is only willing to receive their voles without thinking of appearing as their candidate ; it the Democ racy thus make their opponent their candidate they act a political falsehood, they commit a crime against honesty, loyalty and truth, of which the righteous punishment will not fail to loliow upon both parties to the hypocritical compact. A party which, through such a compromise, which If honest ,and not a Ile from the beginning, stipulates the betrayal of its best principles ; a party which by means of such a lie seeks to attain to power, dues not deserve It and will not obtain it. Andaman, like Greeley, who through this compromise. - endeavors to gain the paim of victory,deserves it j-st as little,.and it is to ho hoped, will not, obtain It by whatever efforts. For nominated is not elected." In connection with this manifestly correct estimate of the morality of the partnership be tween Greeley and the Democracy, It is Inter• eating to see that Mr. Barnum makes his ap pearance before the'public as Greeley's formal panegyrist. He has known the sage for thirty years to admire and love him ; yea, the sage , is almost God-like, in his virtues. Barnum's admiration has evidently been led captive by the smartness which effected the Baltimore co alition. Still the laborer is worthy of his hire and the Tribune reciprocates the . favor ,by puffing Barnum's traveling circus. A LEADING free trade organ deflUes the po- Bitten of Mr. Greeley, on the question' of pro tection, in substantially these words ::Grant, while professing to have no polleyof hisown,r and promising to accept the popular Will for, his guide, has persistently sustained the tro tective policy with all the power of the admin. Istratien, and ho would veto a free trade bill, should one be passed. Mr. Greeley says the people are the beat Judges of their own inter ests, and whenever they uneqiivocally decide in favor of free trade, he would feel bound to respect their decision, whether he concurred in it or not. He would not use the Influence of the administration to defeat a free trade bill, and would not veto It if passed I Mr. Greeley, in order to bring over the free traders to the support of the Liberal movement,and to secure Lose reforms upon which, as he said, they' were all agreed, consented to leave the clues. lion of revenue reform to the people them selves. It is added : " Mr: Greeley felt con strained to yield the point, though greatly to the disadvantage of the protective principle." Thus, upon the testimony of a leading free . trader, did Mr. Greeley barter away his con victions on one of the most vital issues of the day. Not only so : but this same authority boasts that " the sacrifice at Cincinnati was wholly on the side of protection, which agreed to put free trade on a better footing than now, under the present administration, and under Grant, if re-elected, and give It fair play be fore the people." Thus did the great cham pion of protection stultify himself and surren der his principles. Ile Is bound now, if sleeted President, to do nothing whatever to defeat the purposes of the free traders. If a free trade bill should pass, he cannot veto it, al -1 though his lifelong convictions have been Wit free trade would bring ruin to our maqufactur. int; industries, starvation to our workingmen, and disaster to the whole country. Let the people of Pennsylvania remember these things. The Cincinnati Commercial, a Greeley or gan, says : Gratz Brown's little speech at New Haven is *rather the most remarkable effort since "the sympathies ofyonth" crossed the "elbows of the Minch)," and • exceeds Andy Johnson's great effort When ho was in augurated Vice 'President.
