ANNA DICKINSON SPEAKS.
A woman, in the form of Anna Dickinson
devotee her talents to reiterating Liberal doe
trines, as so often before put forth by Car
Bchurz, Tilton, Whiteiaw Reid, Old Horace
and Ile rest of them. Anna says nothing new,
but what she does say she attempts to make
very impressive. Her lecture is the same old
combination of subterfuges, insinuations,false.
floods and appeals to prejudice, without one
single Incontrovertible truth to redeem 1.. She
rants about Injustice to the South, keeping up
the war, rte., just as though the late rebels of
the South were not now doing pretty much as
they please, being restrained in nothing ex
cept in their love for negro•killing and murder
ing the few loyal white men among them. In
Georgia they carry on the Government to sul
themselves. They accept the Amendments
etc., as accomplished facts, just as they accep
the fact that the Jews crucified Christ, but they
don't believe either was right. They accept
the Amendments, but they tax every nigger
ten dollars, which he must pay before he can
vote, and as negroes, as a general thing, are
pretty poor, this law is a very successful way
of defeating negro suffrage. Anna is nut sat
isfied that the late rebels have even this privi
lege. She wants Jeff Davis and those other
three hundred perjured traitors made eligible
to office. She wants no punishment at all to
be Inflicted, but rather that treason should - be
put at it premium. She was an old abolition
ist, but now that the Malden are free she thinks
they need no protection from the Government.
They have been given that powerful weapon,
the ballot, nnd, notwithstanding the Ignorance_
they have been kept in by us Americans, If
they do not know how to take care of them
selves, It is their o,vn fault. We think the
negroes are no more to blame fur being im•
posed upon than white, educated, Northern
men. 'We trusted Southern men in power and
we were deceived. The negrors entrusted
white ex-rebels with power in Georgia and the
former were disfranchised. They have learned
a sad, but useful, lesson there, and their race
In the other Southern . States will 'not trifle
with their dearly bought liberties by voting
for any secessionist, not even H. G.
Miss Dickinson makes the astonishing state
ment that the South will Vote for Greeley "he
cause It is quite ready to accept Republicanism
in Its best form. They are not willing to ac
cept the spurious Republicanism which has
been given them for the last fcur years." Miss
Dickinson cannot forget that the laws
which President Grant enforced in the
South during the past four years were the
work of a Republican majority in Congress.
No act of President Grant's has been contrary
to those hews and therefore lie has been in per
fect acc3rd w ith the Republicans in Congress
and the three and half million Republican
voters of the Union. There Is not one act of
the 'Executive that can be pointed to as spurious
Republican. Horace Greeley is opposed to
him, and therefore the Liberals charge that
our party, in nominating Grant, proved Itself
to be no longer Republican. They oppose
centralization of power, they say. 'Yet no
party ever existed that was so guilty of cen
tralization as the Liberals. They centralize
the right of opinion, the right of thought and
the right to be Republican in that one man,
Horace Greeley. They have made him a
King, and any one who does not bow down
to his crotchets, his profane denunciations,
his villiflcations and accept his falsifications as
truisms, is denounced as a spurious Republi•
can. They grant no honor to Grant's leimer
ship of our armies, but they soy Horace Gree
ley Is the father of the Republican party, that
he alonejulucrved the people to Republicanism.
Starting with this false assertion, they profess
to believe that this Father Horace, having
created one Republican party out of Whigs,
Native Americans and Free Soil Democrats,
can make a better Republican party out of cx•
rebels and the late copperhead party of the
North. Their mistake has been developed In
every election this fall, except in Georgia,
where the XVII) Amendment was nullified by
newly enfranchised rebels. They may believe
in Horace Greeley's superior Republicanism,
but on Tuesday of next week they will find
that the Republicanism of this one man Is im•
potent when arrayed against the Republican,
ism of those millions who united against the
extension of slavery, who fought the war for
the Union, brought order out of chaos in the
rebellious States, and gave prosperity to the
whole Nation.
AMERICA'S GREATEST LIAR.
For an unblushing, unqualified liar,commend
no to the New York Tribune. The following
paragraph, copied from Saturday's issue of
that journal, Is a fair specimen of the general
character of the paper :
Occasionally a bit of truth finds Its way into
a Grant organ. Here Is the Worcester Spy
speaking in this shockingly indiscreet way
about Simon Cameron's Wends in Pennsylva
nia: "York, Penn., seems to have a gang of
thieves as expert and unscrupulous In their
narrower field of operations as the more noto
rious scoundrels who have plundered the
larger city at the mouth of the Hudson." The
Spy is unmindful of the fact that the York
'gang Is only a branch of Cameron's Ring, and
that the last exploit of the whole organization
was the capture of an entire State.
The Tribune knows as well as anybody that
the thieves of Yon( county are what it calls
Liberals; and therefore cannot be a branch of
Simon Cameron'sßing. York county has been
one of the strongrst Democratic counties in
the State, and before the discovery of the au•
dacious robberies committed by Its Democratic
(or Liberal) county officials, it could always
1.41 depended upon for at least 3,000 Democratic
(Or Ltheral) majority. Even since the rob.
berlea have been brought to light the county
has given as high na 1000 Liberal majority.
It may do to tell the people of New York that
the York county robbers are Republicans, but
here In Pennsylvania we know them to be a
part of that great Liberal organization 'by
whose assistance Horace Greeley and his fel
low•reprobates tej; the people they expect to
reform the Goverrmient of the United States.
CONVERTED TO DEMOCRACY.
It was all welt enough for the Liberals to
talk of the Democratic party giving up Its old
principles, sinking its party out of sight and
joining In a new moral reform. That talk
was Used in the - beginning of the campaign to
seduce Republicans from their party allegi•
ance. Now that the Greeley managers have
all the Republicans corrupted that they are
likely to get over, the Tribune of October 26th,
says to the Democrats, "Unless you choose
to be out of power forever, the Whole Demo
cratic vote must be polled for Greeley and
Brown I" Who can say now that the object
of the Greeley movement is not to restore the
Democratic party to power? Certainly no
truthful man can say so, and while we do not
believe in reading men out of the party—while
we accord the right to every citizen to vote for
which party he sees fit—we warn Republicans
that they must notregard so-called Liberals as
anything else than Democrats. When these
deluded men went out atter Greeley, they did
notiutend to become Democrats. but their con.
version to that party has been en gradual that
they have become Democrats almost without
knowing it anti In spite of themselves, and In
that party they will be found in the future.
Trill San Juan Boundary question once more
assumes importance. It was fixed by the
treaty of 1810, the line between the United
States and British America being run along
the 40th parallel to the Gulf of Georgia, where,
in order not to cut off from the British posses-
EfIZA
• .
eons the most important part of VancouVer's
Island, a concession was made by the United
States in agreeing to run the line southerly
through the Channel de Hero, thus giving
Great Britain all of Vancouver's Island, and
maintaining our right to San Juan and adja
coot islands. Through the machinations of
the Iludedn Bay. Company, England chnceived
that she had aright to San Juan and proceeded
to establish civil authority over the people,
nearly all of whom, few in umber, were
Americans. General Barney, about this time,
to protect the settlers from the incursions of
Indians, sent Capt. Pickett with a company of
United States infantry to establish a post on
the island. Soon after, In 1859, the forced
attempt of the British to exclude Americans
from the soil came near involving both Nis
[ions in a war. The British had several war
vessels, with one hundred and sixty-seven
guns and two thousand men at their disposal,
and the Americans were reinforced by three
companies under Lieut.• Col. Casey, one cons
pany and eight 32-pounders from the steamer
Massachusetts and four companies from Fort
Vancouver. Orders bad been issued by Gov
ernor Douglas to take the island, and the fatal
blow would have been struck, but for the
opportune arrival of Admiral Baynes, of the
British Navy, who countermanded Douglas'
orders. Afterwards, by agreement, England
stationed a company of marines at the northern
end of the island, and the Americans had a
similar force at the southern end, both coun
tries to this day maintaining a joint military
occupation. England claimed that the bouo
dary line ran between San Juan and Nash•
Ington territory, while. the United Elates has
adhered to the intent and meaning of the Treaty
of 1840. By the terms of the Washington
Treaty this disputed question was referred for
decision to the Emperor of Germany, who
called together some of his most learned and
trusted jurists to examine into and decide upon
the merits of the case. It is•understood that.
the gentlemen babe finished their labors and
have decided in favor or the position assumed
by the United States. This does not suit Eng
land's avarice and pride, and already emissa
ries of John Bull are hard at work endeavor•
ing to use means of favoritism to prevent the
Emperor from sustaining the decision of his
advisers. There is not much principle to tak
ing a case to Court and then refu4ng to accept
the verdict, but these are John Bull's tactics.
Be may not kick after the decision is made,
but his efforts to enlist the•go-operation of the
Crown Princess and Bismarck In opposition to
the decision of the Emperor's advisers is any
thing but fair. This question, like the slave
holders' rebellion, is one which James Bs
chat:lan's timidity left us to settle. If, while
Secretary of State under Polk, he had stood up
manfully for American rights, the question
would not now be a live one. Still, if we are
now victorious, which the proverbial fairness
of the Emperor of Germany leads us to hope
or, the settlement of this long disputed ques
tion will add another laurel to the tame of our
honored President.
Since writing the above we learn that the
following gratifying intelligence has been re
ceived at our State Department :
To Hon. - Hamilton Fish:
The three experts to whom the American
memorial on the Canal de Barn and the Brit
ish case were referred, have made, each for
himself, a very elaborate report on the ques
tion, supporting their opinions by reason:
slated with technical precision and exactness
The Emperor has also, with the highes
sense of °facial duty, given his p , rsonal at
tention to the subject, and after the most care
fut study and deliberation he has arrived a
the conclusion satisfactory to his own sense o
justice.
The reports of the experts, with reasons,
have not been communicated to us. The de
cree of the Imperial arbitrator,which has been
comtnunicated,has the form, not so much of
decree in council as of a Cabinet order. It
dot s not enter into any elaborate exposition
of the decison, but, without diverging in the
least from the point presented for arbitration,
decrees that the claim of the United Suites of
America is most in accordance with the true
interpretation of the treaty of June 15, lt-Tl.
I shall forward the official copy of the decree
by a special messenger. BANCROF r.
We, publish elsewhere accounts of rebel out
rages, under the cover of Oreeleyism, Wilie
do much to forshadow what would result fro'
the election of Greeley and Brown. If those
who were Republicans during the war are
prepared to see such a state of things inaugm
rated—if they have become indifferent us to
which flag shall wave over Southern towns—
we say, by all means, endorse the restoration
of the Lost Cause by voting for Greeley &
11rowp. It is not a question of personal com
petency, personal preference, or Reform—it
is the same old (ph Mimi decided by force of
arms, now placed before the people bo a de
cision at the polls. The American people so
easily forget past sacrifices, that we are not
surpriSed that the question should HO soon he
brought before- 11w people after the close of the
war, but it Is strange that the advocates 4)1
secession should have selected a wavering win
like Horace Greeley, a secessionist and war
man combined. And it is stranger still that,
having selected a man of this character to
cover up the real nmiivrs of the southern wing
of Liberalism, they shouid not be able to keep
their people from talking out of Sc , ' sot and
thus plainly Showing to the timid people of
the North the danger that inevitably would
result front their triumph. We have not much
right to expect any exhibition of patriotism
upon the part of those who have arrayed them
selves against the Union party, but we hope
their interest in their own individual pros.
perity will prevent them front dolt; that
which will endorse the outrages committed
against cur National flag, and which will only
give encouragement to the South to hope that
the day is not tar distant Com they w ill again
be able to control the Nation.

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30,1872.
WE venture to assert that there Is not on
man in a thousand In this country who hold
an Intelligent opinion on the subject of na
tional finances. Ono class is climoring for
a re-issue of the $44,000,000 grenbacks re_
called by Secretary McCulloch. The press
ing'needs of a great many of the Western
farmers make them believe that such an In-,
nation would be beneficial to the county. The
opponents of a re-issue &chile that any inns
lion of the Currency would place us back
ward instead of forward and would In a short
time make us worse off than we are now.
They contend that it would also make a re
sumptiou of specie payments more difficult
This class of financiers acknowledges that the
increase of thu business of the county requires
more currency and therefore advises h reater
banking facilities. Thus there appears to be
a ,universal opinion that we need
more money. What puzzles the unini
tiated Is what d ifierence would if
make as far as the resumption of specie
payments is concerned, whether the currency
to the country is increased by the issue of
more National Bank notes or by the Melon
of the greenback currency ? Those who uses
both kinds of currency In business transac
tions do not care whether they are handling
greenbacks or National Bank notes. Both
possess the same value and aunwer the same
purposes, ane therefore the people believe
there is a good deal of meaningless twaddle
In the endless discussion upon the results of
an issue of $44,000,000 of greenbacks at this
time. Suppose the Government made such au
issue quietly, without letting, the bankers in
to the secret, and the newspapers, created no
excitement over it, how could it affect general
confidence ?. It would only be about a dollar
apiece all around, and there is no reason to
suppose that that much money would turn the
brain °fatty one who received it and that on
account of that dollar he would rush into
all sorts of extravagance, which would
eventually involve him in ruin. When bank
currency was based on specie, the banks hod
the power to manufacture almost as much
money as was wanted, and as more gold was
discovered the bunk currency was increased
year alter year, and sucli a thing as too much
money was not thought of. Now the only
causes•a stringency are, first—the bulls and
bears of Wall street, whom the Government
could well I.lf, trd to transport to Alaska ; and,
mcond, a lot of unscrupulous newspapers op
posed to the success of the Republican party
and who are determined to lay every stone in
the way of the Government, to prevent the
successful currying out of every policy It may
adopt. When the people become wise enough
to pay little or no attention to the whimperings
of such editors, they will find that the Secre
Lary 01 the Treasury, whose heart and soul is
in the matter, can better tell the wants of the
people titan those fellows who pray that his
works may be a failure.
Tun News mistakes our position. We
not wink at or excuse frauds in elections.
Nothing do we condemn more. We have fre
quently said in these columns that a man who
commits frauds at th. , ballot-box, strikes a
deadly blow at lb., foundation of Republican
institutions. I3ut although such is our posi•
lion we are not, therefore, prepared to believe
implicitly in every st ttement that our oppo•
nents may choose to manufacture merely for
,the purpose of keeping up the courage, the
animosity and hatred of their followers against
the Republican party. We have no doubt that
thend were some frituds committed lu Phila

can success. We know of strong, active,
weldknown Republicans who were personated
at the polls, and there is no doubt that their
personators voted the Democratic ticket. We
believe that there were also similar frauds on
our side, but to believe that they were per
petrified to the extent charged by such irre
soonsible pub , s as the Sunday Mercury is
preposterous. We have had the candid
opinion of•leadlog Democrats upon this sub
ject, of inm who had the opportunity of pass.
ing a correct judgment, and they laugh at the
idea that they were cheated to the extent of
1.1,000, or even 0,000 in the city of Philadel•
phia, while they acknowledge Inc election in
e balance of the state to have been a lair
oue, so that off setting frauds of one party
against the other, Hartran Ws legitimate ma
jority in the State cannot be much less than
33,000, which is sufficient to make him legally
the Governor of Pennsylvania.
TuE late cletion Montgomery count 3,
in which nearly the whole of the Republican
county ticket triumphed, was one of the most
just that tuts ever been held there. For many
years the major portion of the county, that
Which paid nearly all the taxes, has been un
der the rule of a small tyction of the county,
that supplied - very little of the county r. venue.
The Dein. e.ratic party of that county made a
terrible outcry against the Republicans as he
in g a a! elional party, but at the same time
their party in that county owed its success en
tirely to its overwhelming predominance iu a
few townships. In the last election Ilucka
iews majority In the county was seven, yet
he had 1827 majority in eight contiguou s
townships of the "upper end," which coin
prised not near one-fourth the population of
the county, while the balance of the county
paying at least four•fifths of the taxes, gave a
Republican majority of 1920. The eight
townships referred to have done little to ad
vance the Inters sts of tho county; they have
been behind the age In school matters; igno
rance has always predomluated—yet they
have always been enabled to control the elec
lions iu thit county, to choose its officers and
direct its policy. It was but just In this year
of progress, that the advanced, tax paying,
intelligent portion of the county should have
their despotism lifted from them.
IT behooves, all Republicans to he active
and vigilant from this time on to the Presa
dentist election. Spare no effort to make the
election decisive. We carried Pennsylvania
by a overwhelming majority. This should
not cause us to bcconie apathetic, as that was
only the preliminary contral. Our opponents
still wriggle and it Is our duty now to crush
them nut of existence as a political organiza
tion. 'Their party was conceived at Cincin
nati in. deceit, and Inplized at Baltimore in
the waters of treason. The thing is too dis
gusting, top cart opting to exist In a land of
free, independent, honest and straightforward
men, and it should be buried out of sight to
teach others a lesson that no party can suc
ceed which attempts to foist corrupt inep op
the country under the guise of Reformers.

GRANT AND WILSON, oven without New.
York, will receive two•thirds the electoral
vote of the Nation. Thr t is pretty well settled,
but we hope every Republican of the Keystone
State will go to the polls and help swell the .
majority in Pennsylvania and thus add to the
majority of the popitlar vote of the country.
Let it be said hereafter that Grant and Wilson
rolled a heavier majority In Pennsylvania
than was ever before given for anybody.
Lehigh should do her share to accomplish this
result. In October our noble Republican
party of this county did more than the Repub
licans of any other county in the State. Here
we found the picked men of the enemy,
thoroughly Intrenched behind their Ring or
ganizatlon, and better drilled and disciplined
than in any other locality. So much depended
upon was their hard work of the campaign
that they expected to give Buckalew 2200
majority. In spite of their skillful tactics, to
the face of detections from our own ranks, we
not only prevented them from realizing their
expectations, but we reduced their majority
below what it was at the last Governor's elec
tion. Republicans, you have done nobly.
Considering our bold, energetic and well-or
ganized opposition, we are entitled to the
name of the Banner County of the State. It
now remains to follow up the victory, by re-
ducing their majority still more. The greater
our work now the less our labor will be in the
future. We have entered upon the high road
to success. Let nothing prevent us from
gaining a signal advantage in the coming elec

the report of the Re-Auditing Committee.
The only wonder Is that the rogues left the

by their usual Liberal majority.

What does the Tribune think of itself in its

who ever ran for President. His curses made
Gov. Walker shudder when he was on his late
campaigning tour. We can prove this.
GREELEY'S paper sees no hope in Pennsyl

no insult too gross to heap upon our Common
wealth. Pennsylvania ought to give a hun

every It-publican vote in this county. It would
be dangerous to Iv back upon our October
majority and let the November election take

Remember OW Borace Greeley, through his
New York Tribune, is the first man in this
campaign to mix religion with politics. Tit
Tribune has been pershtent in its endeavors
to incense the Catholics Against the Republi•

one of Rorace's datighters was educated in a
'Catholic Institution and is now a Catholic,
such intelligent Catholics as Bishop Wood and
other prominent men We could name In this

party, and can not be forced away from it by
any lies the New York Tribune may get up.

Judge by the dogmatic'tone of positive asser
tion and supreme contempt for all opposition
that is universally affected by them- Thus a
Paris correspondent of the New York Finan
cier relieves himself in this style :
"The financiel policy of the United States
government meets with the open derision•of
every banker I have spoken to, even from
those interested. The idea of paying off the
deld'whlle the country is comparatively poor.
and draining her resources to du itis regarded
as the height of folly. Whenever I stated the
amount of taxation raised In the t oiled States,
. . . .
the invarinb'e reply was either 'frightful,' or
'ruinous.' The corruption that exists in the
departments of government Is well understood
here ; and the cause assigned is the want of a
st.ong minority in Congress to check the ex•
Ceases of the majority."
These Paris bankers, who are alleged to re
gard with derision the government of the
Coiled States for reducing its debt, gooff Into
raptures over the government of the French
Republic, which goes on increasing its debt
with the certainty or Its reaching $5,000,000,•
000. It is the trick of the trade. It is the
business of the banker to deal in bonds, and
hence the tnore there are of them the more he
toms. The deeper a government gets into
debt the more need It has of the banker's ser
vices. And when a government like that of
France agrees to let the banker have Its bonds
at 82 on the 100, and the banker sells them nt
near par, of course his opinion of the sagacity
of that government corresponds. If the
American government had no new loan to
place, we should hear nothing nothing of this
"derision." It conics up now as a a means
of depreciating our bonds sufficiently to ena
ble the bankers of London and Paris to step
in and gobble them up and sell them again a
a heavy advance.
This is about the size of the aforesaid ready
made derision. It Is the old .trick of el
money lenders who want to drive a sharp bar
gain with a customer whom they presume to
be in sore need. In our case, however, we
are in no such need, and hence the measures
necessary to depreciate our credit must be
holder and more energetic. This will account
for the peculiar, tone in which. the financial
policy of our national government is always
spoken of by the free trade organs and all
their European correspondents. It is an at.
tack upon our credit. and has solely in view
the depreciation of our bonds and the'com•
pelting of our government to accept the depreci
ation, and sell the new loan at any low price
that the bankers of London and Paris choose
to fix for it.
Now, as regards the nation being "compa
ratively poor," let us see for a moment. The
wealth of the Republic, as shown by tire cen
sus of 1870, is $30,000,000,000, about equal to
that of the British Isles. New England has
never been accused of being "comparatively
poor." On the contrary, she is supposed to
be one of the richest countries in the world.
For can any one traverse the United States,
and see the actual condition of things, and
conclude that this is a poor country. The
overage condition of our people is decidedly
ahead of the average of spy nation in Europe,
and our cities and towns bear all the evidences
of immense and rapidly expanding wealth.
And, what is of more consequence, this wealth
is not of the evanescent kind, that takes to it.
self wings and flies away. It is mostly solid
and permanent, being in fixed and enduring
forms. But, doubtless the reply will be that
by "comparatively poor" is meant that, we
have great and congant need of capital to de
velop our resources, and that we had better
borrow the money than to allow the resources
to lie undeveloped. Let us see about that.
If we borrow constantly of Europe, we shall
have to pay to Europe a constantly increasing
amount of interest, and by that sort of pro.
cess, instead of improving our condition. we
shall become more impoverished and needy.
The benefit of our enterprises will inure to
foreign owners, and we, in fact,overburdened
with interest, will become mere tenants of
foreign landlords. This is exactly the aim of
those who affect to treat the American fiscal
policy with derision. It Is to impoverish the
great mass of the American people, under pre
text of relieving them of the immediate pros
sure of taxation.
And here we come to the next point, being
this question of taxation. It seems that these
Paris bankers, who are so ready to term our
taxation frightful and ruinous, take no thought
of their owip, which is rolling up to smith an
extent as to astound all Europe. This won
derfully sagacious French school of finance
has not yet solved the problem of making
both ends meet. Titters has gone on piling
tax upon tax, and loan upon loan, just as his
friends and bankers told him, and still there is
a tit ficit, anti a very serious one, in the gov
ernment budget. On the contrary, we have
not only made both ends meet; we have pro.
diced a large annual susplus revenue, with
I which we reduce the principal of the debt
while at the same time we steadily lighten the
load of taxis. This Administration has ex
tinguished $338,000,000 of the debt, and re
duced the taxes $170,000,000 per antrum,
Yet such is the elasticity of, tile revenues
and the prosperity of the country, that the
money still pours Into the treasury in a steady
stream sufficient to warrant the further month
ly reduction of the debt. Where is the ruin
that thirse Paris. bankers.talk of as .character
'zing our policy ? Our commerce is greater
than was ever known before. Our maniac
turies have incretrited enormc usly. Our rail
ways and our telegraphs have become the
world's wonder, and the splendor of our cities
is such as fairly to enable them to rank among
the worlds capitals. The rubbish about the
corruption imputed to our government comes
oddly from a city that has just seen its empire
humiliated to the very dust by the sheer rot
tonness and unparalleled corruption of the im
perial goyerntuetrt, which with appropriations
for a paper army of 050,000 men, could not
muster 1100,000 when war came. —North Amer.

THE HORSE DISEASE.
The horse disease still prevails tq an alarm
ing extent in I`.ow York, Brooklyn, Boston,
Bochester, and other Cities, and the epidemic
promises to he nearly as great a disaster as
the Chicago fire. In the cities mentioned it
illirnposeible to transport freight except by men
and busnless Is therefore seriously interfered
with. The disease has not yel appeared In
Philadelphia, and if the precautionary meas.
twee to keep it away are successful it will be
an ill wind that will blow Philadelphia a great
deal of good.
