DEMOCRATS
Remember that ONE VOTE may decide
the fate of your party in a county. Hun
dreds of examples might be given, to prove
the effect of one solitary voter remaining
away from the polls on the day of election.
Well wishes amount to nothing. Do not in,
dulge in the fatal delusion that our ticket is
safe enough without your vote. Put your
own vote in the ballot-box, and see that your
Democratic neighbor does the same. WATCH
-WORK-AND BR VIGILANT-AND THE VICTORY
WILL BE OURS
THE XXIII) DISTRICT
The prospects of Capt. Birmingham, the
only
_Democratic candidate fur Congress in
this district, are hourly brightening. He can
be elected with ease if the Democrats give
him their united vote. It is reasonable to
suppose that Williams will take enough of
the Republican vote from McKnight to reduce
the vote of the latter below five thousand.
There are in the district upwards of five
thousand Democratic votes, every one of
which Capt. Birmingham ought to receive.
Neither Williams nor McKnight are entitled
to a single Democratic vote. Let the Democ
racy be true to their faith and turn out to a
man and vote for Capt. Birmingham. It will
be a glorious triumph to elect him.
The Proper Feeling
As the day of election approaches, the de ,
termination and enthusiasm among the Democ
racy steadily increase, and the party, which
was recently distracted by the base treachery
of some its members, is again rapidly as
suming a healthy and harmonious condition.
Those who have deserted ns, have detracted
nothing from our strength ; but, on the con
trary, we have gained an honest man for
every knave who has left our ranks. From
all quarters of the State we hear the same
report—the steadfast yeomanry are falling
into the Democratic column—and iu six
months from this time, we honestly - believe
that oar party will be as powerful as it ever
was.
When the United States Bank was rechar
tered by the Pennsylvania Legislature, it will
be remembered that there was a perfect scam ,,
pede from the Democratic ranks. Men who
had been elevated to office by Democratic
votes, left the party which had been a benefac
tor to them, to rush ibto the arms of the
money power. For a time our strength was
weakened in consequence of this desertion,
but soon the honest yeomanry began to rally
around our standard, and Democracy rose tri•
umphant over all opposition.
So it will be now. We may be weakened
by the unfaithfulness of some whom we havo
trusted and favored, but soon, like Sampson
of old, our power will return increased and
augmented, and will be able to overthrow the
temples of t'se slave-worshippers and die.-
union agitators, and bury the mongrel congre
gation under its falling ruins. The future
looks bright; the clouds which obscured it
are breaking -away, and the day will soon
dawn when we can defy our open enemies and
despise all secret traitors.

GOOD N lEEWS
A letici Iron) a very intelligent Democrat
in the Intel 'or of the state, iMorrus 113 that
the eleeti , :n of Cyrus L. Pershing, EN.,
in the Blair Congressional District, is almost
certain. Our readers will be pleased to learn
this, as Mr. Pershing is not only a good Dern
oetat, but a gentleman of fine talents and am.
quirements.
We also learn that Gen. Henry D. Foster
has every prospect of success in the West
moreland District. The people there seem
weary being, represented in the councils ~f
the nation by a man of less than media:we
ability, and now that they have a chance , to
secure the services of a representative who
will he an honor to them and to th entire
Commonwealth,
th ey will avail themselves
of it.
From other Portions of tbe State, we have
equally encouraging information ; and as the
election approaches, tin prospect brightens.
Push on the good work, fellow Democrats. A
glorious triumph awaits us.
We have it in our power to elect two lteroo•
orate in tie hitherto Black Republican Twen.
ty.first and Twentyr , second Districts. In
each of these Districts, a candidate of the
most unexceptionable character is presented
for your votes. Andrew Burke from the
Twenty first, and John Birmingham from the
Twenty-second District, with Pershing from
Cambria and Foster from Westmoreland, will
make a delegation in the next Congress from
Western Pennsylvania, of whom -the De
mocracy may be justly proud. They can be
elected—every man of them, if every Demos
crat doe= his duty.

question might helve been ceeclusively settled.
Indeed it was not until the Atlantic ca bl e cease d

now Mr It does not drily it. Mr Caree, who

who seems as ready ae his distinguished father,
the late Mathew Carey, to renaer aid to pereons

lutione, with ten editorial Iv ritioe by one
of the Coriloettee far the North American, are
gotton il7.lwedly to he snot in a circular to
the iron masters of the State.. The public will
ask weere is the statement of Mr. John F. Read,
who is so particularly referred to as residing
No. 240 Madison street. Where is Col. Forney's
statement, for his name •oras certainly appended
LO the IPttcr, below that of Mr. Read, and al
though he pribliqbes Mr. Corey's editorial, he is
careful not to say whether Mr. Read signed ilia
document or not. Above all where is the mlee.,
ment of Mr. John M. Reed, written over his
own proper head. Was the F printed for M,
I and will the letter in Mr. Dallas' pesseesion at a
future day show this, and therefore dare Mr.
Read not deny this*: On this point the public
want not the stetement of the political econo
mist or philanthropist, or even a candidate for
the Gutiernhtorial chair, but of the man himself,
who cif all others, ought to know whether he
signed the paper.
Now for the truth. Three (Laity ewers have
said that there in such it men as John F. Read,
and that he lives at No. e4O Medison street. --
So there is, and just as respectable a citizen its
any on the Committee. It is said he approved
the conduct of Mr. Dallas in giving the casting
vote, and so be did, just as much so as Mr. John
M. Read ; but not one of this Committee, and not
one of our Black Republican contemporaries heel
ventured to say that John F Read ever signed
that letter. They knew Letter, fit they or their
candidate had caused an inquiry to be made of
Mr. John F. Read, at his house, No. 240 Madi
son street, and were emphatically told by him
that after having taxed his memory to the ut
most, he had no recollection whatever of having
signed the letter, or ever having seen it. He
has several times given Lilo came answer to
others who have called on him, wad La Will res
pond similarly to any ono who may choose to
call, now or in future. This will not be contra.,
dicted by any Committee or by any editor In the
city of Philadelphia. Is it fair, honest, or
truthful, in this state of things, to give the im •
preseion that John F , and not John M. Road
signed the lette , T
But really, the report of Mr. Read's Commits
tee he a piece of miserable prevarication. It re
minds ns of the criminal who confessed the mur
der, but pretested vehemently ageinst all knowl
edge of the spoons. The Committee deny the
signature of the letter, but freely ailipit that
their candidate was once a Free Trade man
' Could they have done otherwise ? Dare they
deny, that, when a member of the Legislature,
he was the rankest Free Trede member in that
body I Dare they deny, that, when the famous
resolution of 1R24, to instruct oar Senators end
request our members to favor a tariff, was of
' fered, Mr. Read violently opposed it, and that,
when' passed by a vote of 61 yeas and 18 nays,
Mr. Reed voted against it (See House Jour
nal of 1823 and 1824, page 448.) Can they
point out one line from his pen retracing these
opinions? Will they deny that in every politi
cal speech on the subject, for thirty years afters
wards, he reiterated them Y Witi they deny
in the face of the record, that, when he assented
in the most cautions terms, merely to the
"general scale:tents of policy" expressed in
the doings of the Convention, but declined to
say one word in favor of the tariff ? Above all
will that Committee deny, or will Mr. Read deny,
that, in very recent yearn, he has written the moot
ultra free trade articles that have nypsared in the
columns of a leading daily joarnal of this State.
Oa this point we wish to touch lightly, until we
are compelled to go further. A denial of this
fact over Mr. Read's own signature will produce
a broadside.
Finally, it seems, from the report of Mr. Road's
Committee, that the excuse for his free trade sen
timents is, that he held them in common with
Webster. Not ao, gentlemen. Mr. Webster aban
doned them in 181.5 Mr. Read advocated thetu
for forty years afterwards. Mr. Webster was
the main advocate of the tariff policy in 1824,
when Mr. Read wee speaking and voting in the
the Legislature of Pennsylvania against it. fo
deed, forlmauy years Mr. Read's chief business
was to answer on the slump the speeches of Mr.
Webster and Mr. Clay, and to those who know
~ta temper, we aecd not say that; hese worthies
were handled without gloves. Said a prominent
member of the opposition to us recently, •' 1 do
wish that when our party will insist on going to
yours for its leadeu, iley would occasionally find
borne one who is not in favar of free trade, and
that they would not invariably inO.at on having
such men as Judge Wilmot and John M. Itead."
S,a4ttndreds of prominent men in the opposite
rank. , think, and to this sentiment they will not
fail to give expression by their votes.

REMARKS OF HON. P. C. SHANNON.
F'.110,, Denim-rots of Mal, —After what has been
so ably and el, quentiy spoken, there is e l perhaps, lit
tle, it any thitig, ~. he pr, bly added. Yet, if you
give me your patient attention, I shall consider any
labor ot mine well be-towed, provided I can be, in
the least degree, instrumental in strengthening your
convictions ot duty to the great Democratic party.
The first speaker this evening, (Judge Shaler) is a
gentlemen, yet erable as well in the grandeur and
weight of his private and public reputation, ca in the
more than three-score years which have whitened his
head. In former years, he was the associate of your
fathers, and for a considerable period oceepied, in a•
able and dignified manner, the pe,itien of President
Judge of your county yurte. the years of active
life have not been mord signalized by the talents he
has displayed, than by his firm and consistent advo
cacy of Democrat c principles. It was pocu iarly
appropriate that he should be hoard hero eo-night;
and the I laudite with which he has been greeted,
show, most significantly, tho hold he has upon your
hearts. lie has addressed you in the vmee oI v: art, -
leg, arid in the accents of wisdom. He has iculd,.red
you to stand firmly by you party and its prtnciple,
and to resist the seductive influences which would
lead you to abandon your organization. Think you,
that with the Tamo ho has acquired, and the years
that fling their mellow autumnal fruits around him—
think you, that with the glorious position he occupies
amongst the ablest loaders of our tarty, and the natu
ral desire ho must have to leave to hie children and
to posterity—an escutcheon uoeullied—a political
history unstained—that he,would, at his Line of life,
sacrifice all ho has won, by advising you to take a
course against the party he has su faithfully served,
and against the organization he has so long zealously
labored to build up ? It cannot be. It is rank folly
to imagine it- Old .go commends respect, and more
especially when its possessor has, with each advauce
ing year, left on the mile-stoner of time, the indeli
lie marks of probity, honor and virtae. He is 'nee. ,
patio of giving you bad advice, and if you regard
him yen will refuse to follow the false lights gotten
up merely to lead you astray.
We ell recognize the binding authority of the last
State Convention. It was legitimately constituted,
and obeyed, in its whole action, well established
usages. When it adjourned, it loft, as its regular,
active agent and organ, the State Central Commit,
tea. Tho chairman of that Committee, Mr. Roberts,
has addressed you this evening. He felt it to be his
duty to do so, because be is solicitous that our high
erto compact organization shall not ho broken. Be
wishes quite properly—as I wish—that there shall
not be discord or faction or dissension among the
Democrats of the Twenty-seaond Congressional Die
tiled. He has raised his vitae r ght manfully to
night, asking, nay demanding, with the broad seal
of authority in his hand—as the chairman of the Cen
tral Committee—that every true find faithful Demo
orat in the District shall octet his vote for, nay, give
his earnest support to, Capt. John Birmingham, the
only Democratic candidate in the field. The report
et tile proceeding of the Conferees, at Bakerstown,
has gone forth over the Commonwealth ; and every ,
where, by every sound party man—by every ortbo
des Democratic editor, have theca proceedings been
ron cue get' farcical, unjust and rebellieus. The
thin veil el outward dung ever thee°
pregeedings, w a s a veil woven by a cunning hand.
It is, hoau; era too transparent. But the master
weaver of the rotten we'd belongs not to the county
of Butler. You may be thankful for that, and you
may feel somewhat proud that your own conferees
(for whom I entertain high respect,) had Li, hoed in
originating the scheme. If Mr. Graham, Mr. Mitch
ell. or any other worthy Democrat EA Batter county,
had ecoesteatoci to fun. the matter would have been
plain. He could easily have teen elected. And
with just as much ease can yen now elect tlapt Bir
mingham, if you will all be true to your allegiance
to the party.
The history of this political aflair is a brief one.
From the formation of the district you were °cense
temed to nominate. You did so in 1852, when .la.a.
A. Gibson ran; you did Po in 1654, when 0. D.
Palms, was your candidate; and you followed the
usage in 1858.
In all those contests you did deem it proper, fit
and eirpedient to make nominations. Then why , was
it resolved to'be iir. r ethsiir in 1808 Can any man
give you a reason ? I will ge further —ran even a
plausible excuse he rendered
In the first three cotteste, you never dreampt of
winning, with a solitary opposition candidate. Yet
you nominated. Why? Because, as Democrats, you
desired to teen up en organization, through which
to give expreeeion to roe : prieeitiles, and to gain
Converts to your 0a.1130, I r on well'isnew too potency
of constant organization; and your adversaries
knew it, likewise. For through that medium have
you not now Eve thousand votes to count in any
State or National election? Look at your weight
and position in the Presidential struggles of 1852
and 1856, and you will correctly enpreeiete, if yr.o
do not already, the value of unrelasing organisation.
it net marvellous, then, that in 1858 w.th your
opponents split by faction, the product of their in
herent corruption—with two of their candidates en
tared for the race—and at a time when the election
of a Democrat would be a certainty—is it not wen.
derful, I repeat, that the conferees at Bakerstowa
should declare it to be inexpedient to nominate ?
They did so, and left you without a candidate.
Thus, without cause, without reason--for a sin star
purpose, and in an anti-Democratic spirit, were your
organization broken up, your forces disbanded, and
yourselves handed over to your enemies. You were,
moreover, disfranchised, so far as those conferees had
it in their power, or thought they had, to do so.
Five thousand voters, who believed in the Democrat •
is faith, and trusted in the honest application of its
eastiens and usages, were thus suddenly and most
unexpectedly, by a species of legerdemain, deprived
of the regular medium througn widen they were ap•
customed to express their sentiments on National
questions.
The news no sooner spread around, than the party
stood aghast, amazed, bewildered. It was univer•
sally felt that a monstrous wrong had boon perpetra
ted—a foul stab given to the integrity of our disci.
pline ; and in the short time left, it was determined
to do, what little could be done, to repair the mis
chief. The movements thee made have resulted in
the presentation of the name of Capt. Birmingham,
as the only Democratic candidate for Congress.
Of his private virtues, public position, and eminent
fitness, I shall not speak. All those have boon pore
trayod by the gentlemen who have addressed you.
It is oncugh to repeat, that he comes up to the
Jeffersonian standard, and is, terefore, worthy of your
hearty support. If you give him the party vote, ho
will be elected. Of this fact, there can be no doubt.
But why, in this posture of affairs, can any man
among you, prefer to vote for Mr. Williams or for
Mr. McKnight? They are haters of our organiza
tion ; foes of the Administration, and revilers of all
the glorious Democratic statesman, whose counsels
and acts have shed effulgence upon the pages of our
history.
They have maligned the Administrations of Jack
' son, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan. Mr.
Williams, in his intensified denunciations against the
Democracy, has gone further than perhaps any other
opposition orator in the State. With all his scholas
tic attainments, his fanciful turn of mind, his pecu
liar idiosyncrasy, leads him into fanaticism. His
enthusiasm often gets the better of his cool judg•
ment, and once embarked in a cause, be is the
rankest, wildest pilot that ever stood at a helm. He
is sure to run his vessel on the breakers. Perhaps
the best proof of this is- that although his whole re
cord is one huge pile of enmity to Democratic men
and measures, ho nevertheless now implores you for
your votes. When his own party rejects him, (and
a shame it was they did, a disgrace upon them) he is
entieely willing to go to Congress by the aid of Dem,
ocrats. His proud spirit must have been humbled to
toe dust; his lofty genius must have felt rebuked;
the memory of his pest services to the opposition
parties, must have been " gall and wormwood" to
him; when he found all forgotten, ell laid aside, and
his claims eozeidered of no account when weighed
in the scales with those of both McKnight and Mures
head.
In view of all this, what reason can you adduce
for voting for either of such men ? If ybulo, you
virtually approve of their views on national ques
tions, and sanction their past politicel acts. If you
do, you thereby declare that you aro tired of your
own organization, and wish to destroy it. Finally,
if you do, you proclaim to the world that you are no
longer Democrats, but Black Repahlicans—voters
who, dissatisfied with our party, ignobly turn their
backs upon it, and join forces with the enemy. Let
no man professing to be governed by sentiments of
honor or manliness, truth or charity, dare to say,
when our backs are turned, that we have come hither
for the purpose or with the intention of playing into
the hands of either of these Republican candidates.
Lot no such false charge be uttered. We, thank
Heaven, have entered into no league with tre enemy
—have formed no conspiracy against the integrity of
our party I We value constant, compact organiee*
tion too highly, to see it frittered away in this mis
erable way, end not raise our voices against it. We
are Democrats publicly avowing that we shall vete
for none but Democrats; and we entreat you by the
memory of every achievement in the past, and by
all the hopes ot political prosperity in the future, to
do likewise. We beg you as Democrats not to vote
at all for Congress, rather than to sully your connec
tion with the party, by voting for either of these
Black Republicans. For myself, I assure you, I
have no preferences between them. They aro both
political fees, and, therefore, I care nothing about
them, politically. .T would not give the value of a
pin tokecure the election of either.
It is said, however, that you Suffer under local
grievances, and that you should support Mr. Wil
liams in order to retirees them. This is the lure
and the bate to draw you fromyour party allegiance.
This is the cunning snare to entrap you. This is the
Syron song to enchant you. But remember that in
the history of political parties, the first false step—
the first deviation from established usages, when
once taken, has, most generally, led to soCession and
opposition. Side issues are always dangerous to the
Democracy. They are frequently glittering, tempt
ing, fascinating. With such weapons our opponents
usually fight; their old rusty armory is full of such
broken lances and exploded cannons. Yet, some.
times, they have been used with fatal effect upon our
party. tt is wise, therefore, as a general maxim—
always a 'safe one—to beware of them.
But really are your WO grievances of such a na
ture, that, in point of feet, they can be remedied, in
the slightest degree, by tho action of .Congress ?
