The Situation in Pennsylvania.
Senator Wallace, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Comaiittee, seems to
understand "the situation," so far as Penn
sylvania is concerned, in reference to the
next Presidential election. At Pittsburg
the other day he made a speech at a Demo
cratic meeting in the course of which he
said that the Democracy had a hard job be
fore it to carry Pennsylvania against Grant
and Colfax. lie demonstrated this witb
figures, showing that last Fall, when Shars
wood was elected by less than one thousand
majority, the Democrats polled ninety-four
per cent, of their whole vote, while the
Republicans cast less than seventy-five
per cent, of iheirs. This year the whole
vote will be brought out,and the Democrats
will have to do some very tall cheating to
overcome the odds against them. With a
radical Democrat like Pendleton for a Pres
idential candidate the Cops will be beaten
by at least 30,000 majority, and he is by
odds the strongest man the Democrats can
trot out.
A Prompt Vindication. Some of the
Copperhead papers having asserted that
Mr. Colfax had during the war told a sol
dier that he had no time "to fool with sol
diers," Mr. 0. prompt y denied the story.
But another witness has come on the stand,
who fully vindicates Mr. Colfax from this
foul Copperhead aspersion. Chaplain Lo
zier, writing to the "Indianapolis Journal,"
after referring to the above, says that Mr.
Colfax, on one occasion, gave the Indiana
Sanitary Commission $100, at another time
sent the same bum .and once on the adjourn
ment of Congress during the war, gave his
entire mileage, $6'j0, for the relief of sick
and wounded soldiers. When the Soldier's
Home Association we're needing contribu
tions for the support of the hospital, he lec
tured all over the couutry for its benefit. .
. ' .
Falling into Line. In various places
the Btampede from the Democratic ranks to
the staudard of Grant, has already com
menced. Seventy-five voters of the Denio
sratic persuasion came in a body to a Re
publican caucus at Auburn, Maine, a lew
evenings since, and announced their inten
tion to work and vote with the Republican
party in the future. In the town elections
held in .Richmond county, New York, last
week, the Republicans increased their vote
2'JS, while the Democratic majority of the
whole county stood 150 to 1 ,'2G2 last year.
General Mahone has taken the slump for
Grant and Colfax in Virginia, and his ex
ample will undoubtedly be followed by many
other ex-Confederates.
"Saying: the Country." The Whis
key Ring appears to be engaged in the lau
dable task of "saving the country." One
of the concern testified that during the im
peachment trial he placed to the credit of
Woo ley, for that praiseworthy purpose, the
modest sum of twenty thousand dollars,and
promised as much mora as was necessary to
make the thing sure. "Saving the coun
try" is the cloak onder which the Ring op
erates. It seems that certain Senators about
that time became deeply exercised about
what they should do to bp saved. Wooley
drew for the twenty thousand and they
were saved 1
The First Gun From Ohio. An elec
tion was held on Monday last in the judici"!
district composed of the counties of Athens,
Gallia, Meigs and Washington, Ohio, for an
additional judge. Loomis, the Republican
candidate, was elected by 1,815 majority a
gain of 237 over Hayes' majority of last fall.
Washington county, which elected two "vis
ible admixture" Copperheads to the Legis
ature, cave Loomis 300 majority.
The Cops aretwitting the"Rads," for not
commencing the campaign with more vigor.
Let them possess their souls in patience.
There is no glory to be obtained in fighting
a dead organization without a leader. As
soon aj their Presidential candidates are in
the field they will find the republicans ready
and eager for tho fray.
The fruit crop in New Jersey is said to be
very promising this year.
Judge Ye.
The Republican party stands before the
country again in 18G8.saysth3 North A mer
icaa, just as it did in 1860 and 1SG4, simp
ly upon its record. It asks to be judged by
what it has done, and relies upon no uncer
tain promises of the future. In 1800 it ad
vanced no new principle. It took its stand
upon its well known advocacy of unceasing
hostility to slavery in the Territories, aud
the people approved of it and elected the
Republican candidate to the presidency.
The slave power chose to stake its essence
upon the defeat of the principle of freedom
in the Territories, and it lost the stake
slavery was obliterated. This was the page
of events to which the Republican party
pointed in 18G4. Again the people endorsed
it. The reactionists unable to maintain slave
ry,but regretting to part with it, attempted
to establish caste in its place, and the strug
gle thereon has lasted until the present time,
but is now closing upon a record of the Re
publican party, in which is included the full
establishment of the civil and political rights
of the oppressed race, and the reconstruc
tion of the South upon a free basis.
In this contest many other things have
been settled. The Presidential power has
been restricted, Congressional authority
vindicated, and the Supreme Court retained
within bounds; the banking system reor
ganized on a sound basis.the currency made
national and reliable, popular liberties pro
tected at the South,-the supreme authority
and power of the republic itself forever
fortified against assault from the spirit
of sectionalism, the State governments pur
ged of oligarchy, and the foundations laid
for a ,ysteui of small landholdings at the
South. Thus the Republican party in
trenches itself for the ensueing campaigfi,
and acts upon tho defensive, as it 'did in
each former case. It asks to be' trusted on
account of what it has done. It has made
the nation greater and more respected by
the civilized world. It has built up domes
tic manufactures on an immense scale by
means of a protective policy. It has intro
duced at the South free common school ed
ucation. It has built the greater part of
the Pacific Jiailroad, brought in four new
States, brought everything back to a peace
footing, and has steadily reduced taxation at
all points. If, then, we are asked why the
National Convention did not declare in fa
vor of this thing or that, we answer that
the party has hitherto made its claim for
support always upon the ground of what it
has accomplished or essayed, and asked to
be judged by the spirit of that. There is
very much yet to do, aud the Republican
party is the only one competent for the
work.
Just Like Them.
The venemous spleen of the Copperhead
journals, says the Pess, will not allow the
soldiers of the Union to be honored in their
graves, nor any display to be made of those
objects which they revered when living. A
Democratic sheet in, Mauch Chunk, a paper
as slanderous as it is rebellious, -disparages
the ceremonies over the graves of the na
tion's soldiers which recently took place in
that town, by proclaiming the wrong of
placing among the decorations likenesses
of Liueoln and Grant. , While the editor's
feelings may have been shocked by the ex
hibition, there is not a dead soldier who,
had he been living, would not have said,
"It is well; the former .we Tionored aud
loved as a faithful magistrate, the latter as
a patriotic commander." liven the able
and appropriate address of the orator of
the day is besmirched with the traitorous
abuse. Is there nothing sacred from such
vandals ? The beautiful and holy rites of
that floral occasion are as dear to freemen
as their religion ; and the names of Lincoln,
whom the rebel's friends assassinated, find
Grant, against whom their hosts" were hurl
ed in vain, occupied a place in the true sol
dier's heart alongside of his love" Ibr the
flag which he followed. We venture the
assertion that cowardice only prevented this
disloyal scribe I'rom denouncing the propri
ety of hanging the stars and stripes over
the gate through which the flower-bearers
passed to pay their rebpects to the sleeping
braves. ! '
We sympathize sincerely with the De
mocracy in their troubles. Up to this date
they have not decided whether to nominate
a Republican or a Democrat for President ;
whether they will stand on the platform of
gold or greenbacks ; whether their battle
cry will 'be "Universal Suffrage" or "A
White Man's Government." Of course
Democratic principles are immutable when
they decide what they are.
The Democracy are Just now engaged in
the extraordinary equestrian feat of riding
two horses careering at full gallop in two
precisely opposite directions White Man's
Government, represented by Pendleton,
and Universal Suffrage, represented by
Chase. The Ring Masters need hardly be
told that that game won't work.
-There are as many Democratic candidates
for President as there are States ; and the
number increases, not because there exists
any tlmnce of electing the successful nomi
nee, but because of the difficulty of getting
one who wUl not be disgracefully distanced
by General Grant.
"Some liquor dealers are absorbed in
their business. Cop Exchange.
No doubt; and much liquor is absorbed
in the dealers.
Look at it.
The entire capital, the ouly stock-in-trade
of the Democratic party, is the crV it raises
about the saered obligations imposed by the
Constitution, and the alleged wrong com
mitted in imposing terms upon the seceded
States. This coming i'roui the party which
from first to last steadily supported the at
tempt to destroy the Constitution and over
throw the Government, is sufficiently impu
dent. The Democratic party is as directly
respoiisible for the rebellion, and the long
train of consequeuces, as the election of
Buchanan. Democratic leaders deliberately
planned it. The war would have ended
with its first year but for the support the
party gave to the South. Before the victo
ry was won, while the last blow was about
to be struck, the party, in national conven
tion assembled, declared that the war was a
failure, demanded that it should cease and
the independence of the South acknowledg
ed. Ever since the victory was won the
party has steadily sympathized with the
mourners for the lost cause, supported the
faithless President in resisting Congress in
its efforts to restorojpeace, and every way in
its power stimulated the spirit of discord,
lawlessness and violence. But for the sup
port which Andrew Johnson derived from
the Democratic party, in and out of Con
gress, every Southern State would have
been in its proper place in the Union two
years ago; and instead of wasting delay and
doubt, the country would for that period of
time have had peace and prosperity.
Whoever writes the history of the Demo
cratic party, must write against it the delib
erate secession of the States, after the army
and naw had been placed beyond call, the
arsenal of the North stripped and those of
the South tided with war material ; the ter
rible conflict which followed ; the steady
sympathy of the party with the rebels, its
defeat in the overthrow of the rebellion;
the resulting debt ; the more than inclina
tion of the party toward repudiation, and its
resistance to the purpose of the people to
reward with their confidence by electing
him to the highest position, the man under
whose leadership the final victory was won.
Whoever writes impaitially the history of
the last eight years, must inevitably write
these things down against the Democratic
party, which now insults the sense of the
nation by setting itself up as the defender
of constitutional liberty, the champion ot
the Union of States, and the only party to
whom the management of'the questions
growing out of the war, including the na
tional debt, can be safely entrusted. Let
these truths be kept in remembrance and
everywhere tojd. It is the destroyer that
presents itself as the preserver; the traitor
that has become the model patriot ; the
thief the only honest man.
Showing Its Colors. The Pittsburg
iW trusts that the Democratic Convention
at New York will manfully
Declare that it will aid and assist with the
whole power of the Government the w hite
men in the South to re-establish the State
Governments as they existed at the outbreak
of the rebellion. excepting only the existence
of slavery, which has been abolished by the
amendment We trust also that the
Convention will give fair noticfc that white
men's votes, and white men's votes alone,
are going to be counted at the Presidential
election. ' .
This is certainly a very "candid nn3
spoken" proclamation. The 1'ost wants the
old rebel State governments re-established,
and it advocates the exclusion of the recon
structed States from the next Klectorial
College. - Nothing more explicit could be
asked for. '
Republican Speakers. The Ilarris
burg State Guard says : The Republicans
of Pennsylvania will be ably represented on
tho stump during the canvass for President.
From what we learn, we can confidently
state that Ex-Gov. Curtin, William D. Kel
ly, John W. Forney, Wayne M'Yeigh,
Morton M'Michael, II. Bucher Swoope,
Benjamin II. Brewster, Gleni W. Scofield,
Hon. Thos. Williams, L. W. Hall, George
Landon, Prof. Wickersham, Frank Jordan,
A. K. M'Ciure, John Cessna, and other
able speakers will thoroughly canvass the
State. All that is necessary is organization
to make Pennsylvania give Grant fifty thou
sand majority.
To Soldiers. The following infamous
paragraph appears in the Belief onte (Cop
perhead) Watchman of June 12th :
"The drunken General who paved his way
from Washington to Appomatox with the
skulls of his own countryman, now asks the
Tiends ot the thousands his drunkenness
-murdered, to place him in the Presidential
chair."
Meek was a "Grey-back" during the war
for the Union, and he is as -much opposed
to the soldiers now as then.
The following resolution, adopted at the
Faneuil Hall meeting, Wednesday evening,
June 10th, tells the story, and is just what
the country will affirm at the election : '
llesoh-vd, That for the sake ot business
prosperity, aad national security, we must
have peace, and for the sake of peace, we
must have Grant and Colfax. Loud and
long continued applause.
The meeting was one of the very largest
kind, composed largely of the solid men of
Boston.
The Democratic journals which nrge
Grant's resignation of his military office,for
get that Judge Woodward did not resign,
while a candidate in this State Iat ycar,and
that M'Clellan,the Democratic candidate in
'64 for the Presidency, did uot resign until
Nov. 8th,the day of the election. We quote
these not as examples,but as admonitions to
consistency in tho Democracy.
The reception of the Chinese embassy by
the House was a pleasant little episode in
our national history. The speeches of Mr.
Colfax and Mr. Burlingame were manly
straightforward, and business-like, and dif

high-sounding effusions incident to such occasions.

- Democratic Consistency.
The Copperhead Legislature of Ohio has
adjourned till November 23rd next. It
passed a series of disgraceful acts. One un
dertakes to nullify the decision of their Su
preme Court, made twenty years ago, as to
who may vote under the Vvtutdution vt O-
hio thus attempting to override a judicial
decision by legislative act on a subject of
which the legislative department has not
jurisdiction. Besides', they have prohibit
ed tue eupreuie Uourt irom taking up any
case arising under it ! We hear from Cop
perheads everywhere, fierce and hot denun
ciations of Congress for an alleged attempt
to interfere with the judicial action of the
Supreme Court of the United States, but
Congress dared nothing so reckless and rev
olutionary in principle as the.Ohio Copper
heads have not only dared, but actually done!
So the Copperhead piety on this class of
snbjects, is, by their own coniession, depen
dent upon the "circumstances of the case."
Another act was to attempt to disfran
chise all students and professors in colleges,
seminaries and academies iu Ohio. The
rea.-onis,studentsatid teachers generally vote
the Kepublican ticket ! The Copperheads
profess to have great scruples about the
temporary disfranchisement of leading Reb
els who were guilty of great crime ; but
they have no scruples about disfranchising
permanently whole classes of honest and re
putable citizens when so doing holds out to
them the promise of making political capi
;al thereby.
Another act, of like character but worse
malignity, disfranchises all tie worn and
wounded, battered and bruised, legless and
armless veterans who are in the soldiers'
Home at Dayton. This is done to help elect
Clement L. Vallandigham to Congress; for
whom it was reasonably supposed these 400
wounded soldiers would u6t cast their bal
lots. ....
This legislation is a sample of what would
be attempted in every loyal State in which
this abandoned party might get power. Its
infamous proseriptiveness, its malignant
wickedness, its defiant shamelessness prove
the real character of the Copperhead party
as essentially base, unscrupulous, and dan
gerous. In defeat, it is whining and hypo
critical. In victory, it is aggressive and in
solent. At all times, and in all places.it fol
lows false lights, seeks base purposes, uses
infamous means and deserves utter over
throw. Gettysburg Star and Sentinel.
It turns out that it wasto keep the whis
key tax at the highest rate, not the acquit
tal of the Provident, that Woolley and the
Uing,of which he is an active member, were
sending mysterious messages all over the
country, and raising large sums of money.
Now as money could be used in no other
way than to corrupt members of Congress,
we hope that General Butler's committee
will push their investigation and find out
who. got it. Ilngh Hastings, the expert
member of the Whiskey Ring, referred to
in Mr. Weed's testimony, avcrsjhat Wool
ley assured him that it ''took so much to
pay Butler and others for their support of
the two dollars tax that they could not do
omch to assist the President." .No doubt
this is a gross slander on General Butler,
but if there are those of whom the rtmark
is at all true, they should be exposed. In
petting Woolley to testify the committee
have evidently "struck a lead," and it is to
bs hoped that it will be industriously follow
ed, and the whiskey thieves exposed.
Gen. Grant and the Jews. The Cop
perhead papers are manufacturing lies
against Gen. Grant and Colfax by whole
sale. One of their last is a story that Grant
ordered the Jew peddlars out of his depart
ment during the war. A Mr. Isador Rosen
thal, a leading Israelite of Chicago, conver
sant with the facts "publishes a card in which
he nails this lie to the counter. He says :
"The whole thing is a manufactured false
hood, and got up to influence niy country-,
men against General Grant. I live here,
am easy to be found,and if any of my friends,
or others, wish to see me on this subject, I
shall be happy to see them, and disabuse
their minds of all such glaring misrepresen
tations, where my name is used. Again I
pronounce the article a base lie.

The average cost of transporting each

TOROUG II ORDINANCE. At a meet
JJ ing of the Town Council, May
the following ordinance, passed March 11, 1S46,
was ordered to be re-published :
