"Whiskey and Lager."
The powerful influence of Democratic
principles "Whiskey and Lager" was
strikingly illustrated in a recent contest for
collector at Pittbaeld, Illinois. A German
Republican and a Democrat ,of the same
speech found themselves pitted against one
another for the office. The Republican
nromLsed to devote the proceeds of th3 of
fice to the payment of the church debt.
The Democrat, who wes a brewer, pledged a
reduction on the price of his liquor. "Whis
key and lager" won with an ease which sur
prised everybody. Christianity, morality,
intelligence, the happiness and amenities ot
life were left to struggle on as best they
could. . This ia but a reduced picture of the
great play which is being enacted on the
National stage. The influences which are
being wielded by the devil in the hands of
his imps, and to which the Democratic par
ty has been compelled to credit every one
of its late successes, is ever at work under
mining popular sentiment, pandering to the
basest passions, fighting with desperate fury
the advance guard of religion and morality,
prostituting patriotic emotion, checking
process, sapping the efficacy of our institu
tions, contravening law, tampering with
justice, and hastening a reign of confusion
and uncertainty which well nigh makes the
most ardent lovers of all good despair.
Our Candidates.
The Committee of the Chicago Conven
tion, appointed to notify Gen. Grant and
Speaker Colfax of their nominations, per
formed that duty on Friday evening. May
29th, at the residence of the General. K
large number of persons were present., Gen.
Hawley,' President of the late Convention;
addressed the nominees in a most felicitious
and pert manner, and the company respond
ed with hearty applause.
Gen. Grant replied .very briefly, stating
that he would in a few days deliver to the
Committee a formal letter of acceptance.
There was a genuine burst of enthusiasm
upon hi remark, "you may be sure, gentle
' men, that I shall have no policy of my
"own to enforce against the will of the peo
,: pie," and the crowd at once caught it up
as one of the apt and happy phrases fur the
coming campaign. ' :
The response of Mr. Colfax, in accepting
the nomination for the Vice Presidency,
was in his best style of speech, -and produc
ed a most favorable impression upon ail
present; after which Gen. Logan introduced
the members of the Committee to the nom
inees. . ' .
The whole proceedings were highly inter
esting and entertaining, and passed off to
the entire satisfaction of all who participated.
The example of the Chicago Convention
should henceforth animate the whole Re
publican party. A great prize was sought
by many distinguished men, and there were
not wanting rivalries, jealousies, and ambi
tions. But the duty of saving the country
made every delegate and every candiiate a
patriot, and from the beginning, the spirit
that animated the army against the Rebel
lion, controlled every heart, and marshalled
them to a eublime and harmonious close.
Model Address. The address of Hon.
Galusha A-Grow, Chairman of the State
Central Committee, to the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, which we print in to-days pa
per, is an admirable document forcible and
compact. It should be carefully read by
Republicans everywhere, and its suggestions
as to the importance of immediate and thor
ough organization acted upon forthwith. '

Democracy and Methodism.
The following extract, is from the La
Crosse Democrat, which has a larger circu
lation than any other Democratic paper in
the United States. We comuiend it to our
MethodUt friends : ' .
There is now in session in the city of Chi
cago, a nondescript, black-and-tan, rump
Radical, politio religious mob,known as the
Quadrennial Conference of the Methodist
Church. It is convened nominally in the
interest of the Methodist denomination, but
really in the interests of the mongrel rarty,
and with an eye to the interests of Grant,
who is a candidate of the Methodists. It
will remain in session until after the Chica
go Convention, and will add its nasal
whine to the chorus of damnable discords
that will hail the nomination of the azure
backed butcher. It is engineered by the in
famous Simpson, Methodist Bishop of Phil
adelphia, who, in collusion with Gen. How
ard, the other reverend ruffian of the Freed
men's Bureau, took possession of twelve
hundred churches belonging to the Metho
dist Church South, and turned them over
to. the niggers and convict preachers of the
North
Roost high, oh ye feathered beasts, for

Look well to your wallets, oh ye who trav

' Look well to your mustard cups and

Brethren let us pray.
A Democrat on Grant.
Some months ago the Pittsburg Pest, one
of the most respectable of the Democratic
papers of Pennsylvania, contained a leader
under the caption of "The Duty of the
Democratic Party in a Certain Event,"
from which we excerpt the salient paragraphs
without any farther comment. They speak
for themselves : . ' .
Sunnose that, contrary to the wish of
some of the leading Radical Black Republi
cans, who want the oliice themselves, (.ren
Grant should be nominated for the Presi
dency by the Republican party, what course
oujiht the Democratic party to pursue?
Ought wc to nominate a man in opposition
toGeneral Grant f Uughtwe to charge him
withbeiasr an enemy to his country, or iu fa
vor of unjust measures, merely because he
may have received said nomination t . . . .
We are inclined to believe (hat more de
pends upon General Grant now than upon
any other individual in the United States.
We believe him to be far superior to the
majority of the far-sighted politicians who
have been ruline the nation without bring
hit peace or economy to our legislation. He
is known to all the people as a straight for
ward man, and, so far as can be judged, a
man well disposed to deal tairly wilb the
people of all sections ot the Union. ....
What better thing can we do in case of
General Grant's nomination by the Repub
lican party than to vote for hint for tcel res
idency'i Our aim should be to strengthen
bis hands ; to render him as much as.possi
ble independent of party, and to elect him
as the 1 resident oj thepeojue. It unanimous
ly, so much the better. .
Wo solemnly believe that if the people
generally of the United States cau come to
gether with real unanimity on General
Grant, in regard to the Presidency, it will
be tho happiest thing for our country that
could possibly occur. I he future good ef
fects of this course arc almost incalculable.
We earnestly ask our Democratic friends
everywhere to consider this subject careful
ly., Presi dent Johnson, now an uuwilling wit
ness, in his message to Congresslast Decem
ber, says of Gen. G rant's administration of
the War Department: "Salutary reforms
have been introduced by the Secretary ad
interim, and great reductions of expenses
have been effected under his administration
of the War Department, to ' the saving of
millions to the Treasury. " If Grant could
eo much improve the War Department,
which was conducted by a sober, a compe
tent, and an honest man, how immensely he
can improve the whole administration which
is now conducted by a drunkard, an imbecile
and a traitor. ';
Shots From Behind. The New York
Tribune closes a severe article on the recre
ant Senators with the square shot : "The Re-,
publican party proter.ts against these shots
from behind. True, it lost its beloved Pres
ident by such a one ; but ' Wilkes Booth
never protended to bo a Republican as its
present aisailauts have dene. If there be
more traitors nestling in its bosom, is it too
much to ask them to come to tho light.!'

THE CAMPAIGN. .
Address From the State Central Committee.
Philadelphia, May 27, 1868.
To the Voters of Pennsylvania: The Na
tional Convention of the Republican party,
with a unanimity aud enthusiasm unprece
dented, has nominated auidates for Presi
dent ani Vice President and anuounced the
principles upon which they appeal to the
people for support. As to the individuals
selected no word of commendation is neces
sary. Their deeds form a part of the his
tory of the country. .
No matter who the candidates in opposi
tion may be, they must represent an organi
zation that was unfaithful to the country in
the hour of its direst peril and false to liber
ty and the rights of man.
For four years the Republic shook with
the tread of armed men in a struggle to de
termine whether the will of the majority
constitutionally expressed should be the law
of the land till changed in the mode pre
scribed by the original law. In that strug
gle three thousand millions of treasufewere
wasted three hundred thousand liero mar
t3Ts found in our ransomed soil their graves,
and sorrow sits to day at almost every fire
side, mourning for the unreturning brave.
This waste of treasure and legacy of woe
was caused by the minority, in a fair elec
tion, refusing to submit to the will ot the ma
jority constitutionally expressed. Suspended
on tbe issue Lung the lite of the Kepubhc
and the hopes of mankind. ;
The only political organization to give aid,
sympathy, and encouragement to that mi
nority in its attempt to dismember the Re
public and thus destroy our liberties, was the
party calling itself democratic At its last
National Convention, while , half a million
of men' were in arni3 for the overthrow of
the Government, it declared the war for the
Union a failure, and demanded an immedi
ate cessation of hostilities.
"Wo were ai-ked to spike our guns wbetv, the
: foe was at bey.
And the fags of hia. black banner were dropping
away, , ...
To take down the proud name our nation had won,
And strike her brave bird from his home in the
sun."
Had the policy of the Democratic party
been successful, the genius of impartial his
tory would have written on the tombstone
or the present generation an emtauh ot in
delible, unfading and endless disgrace that
it preferred the ItCpubhc should die rather
than endure the sacrifice necessary for it to
live. -
The men and the rartv that saved the
Government in war can preserve and pro
tect it in.peace. The great captain of the
age will lead the loyal hosts of the Repub
lic to victory ia November next, as he led
its armies at Donelson, Vicktburg and Appo
mattox Court IIou.
Republicans of the Keystone State, effi
cient organization secures certain victory,
Your rartv in its infancy saved the territo
ries of the Union from the blight and cirso
of human bondage, and consecrated them
forever to free homes and free men. In its
early manhood it has grappled and crushed
the most gigantic conspiracy ever formed
tor the destruction ot liberty and free gov
evnment. Treachery of public servants or
apostacy of trusted leaders cannot stay its
onward march.
With truth and justice for wcarons. and
the hearts of the people for a bulwark, if
true to yourselves a certain victory awaits
you.
