"The Eepnblican Losses."
The Democracy, poor fellows, are tryina
to figure up,by a new mathematical process,
the ''heavy losses" sustained by the Repub
licans in Vermont and Maine. Well we
must acknowledge these ''heavy losses" are
hard to bear without being jubilant over
them, but wa will have to endure the inflic
tion, if it is merely to gratify the feelings
of our "victorious" (?) opponents, and for
their benefit we recapitulate the result:
In ISoT the Republicans carried Vtrmont
by-0,lS4 majority this year they sweep
the State by only 2G,9Gj majoiity. In 107
they carried Maine by a majority of 1 1,014
this year they roll up a majoi ity of only
21,(100. Our condition is, indeed, appalling
in the extreme, and a party that continues
obstinately to lose in this suicidal fashion
will certainly envelop all the States and
elect Grant to its own great distress, and to
the uiibouiuleil jny of the Democracy gener
ally. And when we "lose" Pennsylvania,
by giving our State ticket about 20,000 ma
jority, and Graut about 30,000, the Democ
racy will rejoice with exceeding joy and il
luminate in unrestrained ccstacy. Yet.not
withstanding these "heavy Josses," it must
be said to the credit of our party friends,
that they seem to bear them with commend
able fortitude and resignation, and some
even forget their martyrdom so far as to
smile over the yieat triumphs achieved by
our political opponents. Well, so let it be,
for we know that it is folly to question the
new political arithmetic lately introduced
by the Deniociacy, and yet it is ciueer that
the Republicans refuse to ha disturbed by
these great misfortune, which are pouring
in upon them, "Not in single spies, but in
batteries." Yea ; they acc.pt the result in
Vermont with heioic endurance, and bear
from Maine without heaving a sigh or shed
ding a tear, and some even were jolly
'enough to hurrah over the calamity that,
had overtaken our political brethren in the
Pins Trea titaid.
If the Uepublicaris can be so exhuberant
over their losses, what will they do when
their gnix come in? If they are so full of
glee in the midst of disasters, what will bo
their exultations when they achieve rri -uruphs?
If they feel so felicitous over
their defeat ia Vermont and Maine, to
what extent ill they rejoice when they
once hear of their real victories? But we
presume these recent disasters have been in
flicted upon us for some wise purpose p.r
haps to admonish us to endure patiently
other similar defeats that aro near upon us.
Notwithstanding, we would say to our
friends, that a.s men and parlies improve by
beins chastened, let them come ! Let these
"heavy losses" continue for a little while
longer, iy until after the November elec
tion. They will be useful in testifying" to
the great "re action" which h is set in.
They willa.lmiiii.-ter a timely rebuke to that
eharlatan soldier. Grant, who never won
a victory although he was a tolerable f4ir
"azure-imcked butcher." They will show
livrly appreciation of the "constitutional"
oratory of Hampton, Toonibs,Forrest & Co.,
and of the gentle and humane ministrations
of the Ku-Klux-KIan. Yes, let losses like
those in Vermont and Maine continue to
rome! Tliey seem to Might the jocund
Democratic heart, while they do not in the
least grieve the obdurate liepublican bosom.
Certainly; keep them ap. The Republi
can can endure them.if our opp meat can.
Worth Remembering Oue vote for
Hartranft and Campbell in October is worth
two for Grant and Coltax in November.
If we carry tho first election the second
grand and final vktoiy is sure to follow.
' A Sew Copperieai Trick.
' It has been evident for sonie time pat,
that-ttfae leaders' of the: Seytiiourite , party
"were egaj:ed in colonizing voters from Ma
ryland and other adjoining States into Penn
sylvania, as an auxiliary to their fraudulent j
coffee Colroc'l naturalization papers, to carry j
the State, if possible, at the October elec-
tiiin. But it ecms these do not comprise j
their only schemes of rascality the oiuis-
sion of the names of Republican voters from
the assessments lists beinc another.
Facts have come to our knowledge within
a few days, from which we are led to believe
that, in snme'of the clcet'on districts in this
county, if not in all where there are Demo
cratic Assessors, and where the Assessors
could be be induced to do so, the names of
Republicans have b?en systematically omit
ted from the A.esmi'rit li.ts, i. e. they
have not bei n assessed. If this Le so,;t is one
of the most despicable tricks ever gotten
up to make votes, and one which should meet
the just execrations of all honorable men in
the county. In proof of these alienations,
it is only necessary to say, that we have been
shown lists car.tattiing a poodly number of
names of persons, many of whom were born
an raised, and in some instances have here
tofore voted, in the districts where they now
reside, and yet their names do not appear
On the assessment lists. That mi-takes may
occur, we do not deny ; but when they oc
cur by the dozen in l iealities wheie the As
sessor in all probability knows nearly every
man. such a plea cannot be urged with any
degree of plausibility.
In view f the facts hero presented, we
urge every man, who reads this, to examine
the "List of voters" stuck up in his dis
trict, to see it Lis name, or that of any one
of bis neighbors,, has bon left off ; and if
he fin is such to be the case, to immediately
go and have his iiaine entered, and see that
his neighbor does the same taking the As
sessor's certificate as to his ha vinf; been pro
perly assessed, so as to enable him to pay his
taxes to the collector before voting. This
is your light ami your privilege, your duty
ti yourselves and your country. Then, once
more we say, attend to this matter ere it is
too late, and you be defrauded out of your
votes by the negligence or collusion of un
faithful and venal officers.
Jr.ST Co.VE TO LmirT. Hon. Leonard
Mvers.in a speech in Philadelphia on Tues
day evening, made the following statement:
"The vilest thing yet is the attempt to fast
en on General Grant the responsibility for
the starvation of our prisoners, and to do
it they call on the rebel General Ould. who
even intimates that their prisoners were
treated no bettor. Now, I want your atten
tion to a statement which has never bciore
been made public. When Jeff. Thompson
the rebel, was exchanged, he passed through
Andcrsonville. He had the heart of a man;
he had been treated by us wich great kind
ness, and he waited upon Jefferson Davis to
beg Letter conduct toward our prisoners.
Davis replied : We can kill tfient that way
much quiiksr than in battle.' He is the
stern statesman who was fed on fried oys
ters; has been cheered iu England by our
"lree trade' friends, and stands about as
much chauud of hanging as John II. Sur
ratt. Let modern Democracy call up Jeff.
Thompson as their next witness.
Their "Policy." Had those who framed
the fourth demand of the Democratic Plat
form been the professed advocates of the
interests ot the bondholders and bankers,
to the neglect of the mechanics and farm
ers , they could not have devised a better
method to prove their sincerity. "Equal
taxation of every specie of property, accord
ing to its real value," will relieve the Na
tional banker of $2,1 (K) of the $4,000 taxes
he pays on every $100,000, and place the
other half on the fanner. The farmer who
is now exempt from everything save a lax
on his income. according to the Wade Hamp
ton Democratic Platform, wii! be taxed to
relieve the banker. The banker not the
farmer, should be thankful for the prac
tical opera; ion of the . "cqualir.irg" propo
sition. This is the legitimate result of the
theory advocated by themodern Democracy,
who pretend to sympathise with the labor
ing classes.
A. Item ma. Farmeks. The Democra
cy demand that the real estate of Pennsyl
vania, which was? valued in ISCJ at SI, 416,
')01,SlS,and which the Republicans have ex
empted from State taxation, shall be placed
on the duplicate .-gain and be subject to
State and Federal tares. The National
Banks of this State, with fifty millions r.f
capital, paid over two hundred thousand
dollars of taxes last year, while the real es
tate paid nothing. Cn ler the new Demo
cratic scheme of taxation, the barks
would have only one twcnty-r:inth of this
sum, say $7,00-1, to p.-iy.ai.d the othei $193,
iiO'J would be assosud on the farmers and
lot-owners. What say the people to that?

A Letter from Pk.tku Ci-im.m -rr, rr
' RATIO SEYM.Tit.- On the first, pae of this
paper, will be found a letter from Peter
Cooper to Horatio Seymour. Mr. (V.oper
has been a prominent Democratic Vader in
New ork, and hence his letter possesses
unusual interest. We hone our Ker.nhlie.in
, friends, after a careful perusal, will hand it
I to their Democratic reiahbois.
Are Yoc Assessed ?-If you are not
certain, examine the List of Voters" stuck
up at the election honse in your district. If
your name is not on the list go to yonr Asses
sor and have it entered on his book at once
taking the Assessor's certificate, setting
forth that you were properly assessed oth
erwise yon may I defrauded out of your

' - Giving it TJp.
The New York St ir, a Seymour organ,
evidently sees the "drift of the tide'' since
Maine has spoken. It says :
"The truth bad better be spoken at ail
tines.and those Democratic pajers that are
try""!? to torture the figures of the Maine
flection into a Democratic triumph might
just as well speak out honestly and say what
they really believe. We said before the
Maine election was held that the re-uit
would fairly indicate the prospect in the
Presidential content. We adhere to that
opinion now. The result in Maine clearly
shows, in our judgment, that there are not
enjugh straight Democratic votes to elect
Seymour to the Presidency. Ve mean this.
A "comparison of the vote in Maine with
that ol .other States, shows that the Demo
cratic party is not gaining strength fast
enough to win. by its own votes,in the com
ing Presidential election."
It then makes an appeal to the wniking
men to "come to the rescue of the Demo
cratic j arty" as its only hope of success.
But, we presume.tbis appeal will be in vain,
lor the workingmen of Maine have said, in
unmistakable language, that they know their
friends, aud that they will support (iraut
and Colfax in preference to such enemies of
the country as Seymour and Dlair. And
the workingmen of Pennsylvania, knowing
the situation of our country too well, will
heartily respond to their brethren in Maine,
on the Second Tuesday of October, by an
overwhelming majority for Hartranft and
Campbell, as a precursor to a still more
gloiious victory in November. Surely the
result in Maine "fairly indicates the prospect
in the Presidential contest." The Slur says
so. Let the people not forget its admonition.
Coxuressioxl Vacancy. The death of
Hon. Darwin. A. Finney, at Brussels, Bel
gium, whither lie had gone for the benefit
of his health, creates a vacancy in Congress
from the Twentieth District of this State.
Mr. Finney was a native of Vermont, but
chose Pennsylvania as his adopted State
when quite a young man. lie graduated
at All gbeny College, in Meadville, about
1S41, and soon after commenced the prac
tice of the law in that place, lie was
originally a Vhig, and on the demise ol
that party was an early champion of the
Republican party. He represented bis dis
trict two terms in the State Senate, serving
one term as Speaker. After a protracted con
test ho was nominated and elected to Con
gross in I SCR. He was a man of strict in
tegrity aud generous impulses, and his
death will be sincerlv lamented.
Testimony of a Soltiierxer. The
following extract from a private letter is
published in the Cincinnati Cnmmercial.
Its author is a Mississipian : "I am, sir, a
Southern man by birth, education, and feel
ings. and wih only the peace, quiet, and
prosperity of my country, and as such feel
no hesitancy in s iying that the election of
Grant and Colfax can alone give us these,
while the election of Seymour and Blair
will bring greater discord and a more un
settled state of affairs with us than now ex
ists. With Grant and Colfax elected our
people will cea ,e to follow the behests of
our wild politicians, and realize that- it is
wise to accept the situation, which they
will cheerfully do, and our peace and pros
perity will certainly follow."
A Pointek Answer. The Cleveland
Herald thus replies to a carping copperhead
orator, who triumphantly asked why the
revenue W3S not s.-fficient to diminish the
public debt; why it was no; collected and
properly appropriated: "The fact thatsev
en eightsof the revenue causes now pending
in the United States Courts of Northern
Ohio are Democrats on trial for swindling
the Government may partly answer the
question. lhe further fact that Andrew
Johnson and his officials, in many parts of
the country, have been in league with the
whiskey ring to enrich th emselves and ere
atean imn en-e Democratic corruption fund,
will ausv er pretty much the whole of it.
The r Hope is in Fiiahd. The Demo
crat have no hope of carrying the elections
aside from Fraud. They elected Shars
wood in Pennsylvania, last fall, by illegal
votes, and after he got on the bench he pro
nounced a law for the protectirn of the pu
rity of the. ballot-box unconstitutional.
Honest men of all parties are interested in
fair elections. With Democratic frands
succeeding, elections area farce and utterly
fail to express the wishes of the people.
What the IJvnks Pay. The Nationa:
Banks in Pennsylvania paid List fear a State
tax of 2. o2 per cent., and a Federai tax of
2.211 per cent, in all a tax of 4..GI per
cent, on their entire capital. With the
new Democratic doctrine of equality in tax
ation, this "oppressive burthen" upon the
banks would be largely reduced, a part of it
being shitted over ou to farmers' and work
imimens' h omes.
Copperhead Proscription. The ten
der afiucrion of the Democratic, party for
the boys in blue is shown by the fact that,
on Monday la-t, Sept. 14th. eighty five
workmen, all Republicans but' two and
among them f.iur one-legged and three one
ariued soldiers, were discharged from the
Portsmouth Navy Yard by the new Demo
cratic incumbents there.
GLAD TmiNns. Judging ly the intelli
gence from New Jersey, New York, and
Connecticut, and the healthy reaction pro
duced by the Republican victories in the
North aid the rebel excesses in the South,
it is a reasonable calculation that Horatio
Seymour will not get an electoral vote out
side of Mar land, Kentucky. anbDelaware.
Republicans. Remember! that Friday,
October 2d, i the last day 'on which you
can be assessed for the eoming election. But
don't delay the matter until the last day,
lest by some unforeseen circumstances you
may fail to be properly assessed. Attend to'
it in person, and at once! Delays are al
ways dangerous ! Remember this!
Question for Democrats. If a major
ity of IS, 077 for the Republicans at the
State election in Vermont, ii 1S64. would
give them a majority of -9,108 in Novem
ber of that year, what will their majority of
6,065 in September of thia year give them
on the 3d of November next?
"THE DEIFT OF TEE TIDE" . -J
The "tide" towards Grant seems to be
"driftiogr in upon us like an avalancbe
witness our increase in Vermont and Maine"
so that it is hardly necessary to particu
larize. But, nevertheless, we give below a
few isolated sample for the edification of;
our readers :
The Princeton (Ind.) Hereille, hitherto
neutral, has hoisted the banner of Grant
and Lolfax.
In one township in Wabash mfy, III., ,
thirty Democrat a recently called a meeting,
and every man signed a pledge to vote for
Grant and Colfax.
The ball keeps rolling on. There is an
Irish Republican club in Troy, New York,
numbering over one hundred members, more
than one-half of which were never before
identified with our party.
The Philadelphia Daily AWnr.the leading
representative of Andy Johnson in Philadel
phia, and rn organ of the Democracy since
1S64, last week took strong grounds iu favor
of the election of Grant and Colfax.
In a single club that paraded on Tuesday
night, Sept. ljth, in Philadelphia, at the
Union League meeting,there marched t treaty-five
men who voted the Democratic ticket
last fall. Big straw, that, for Philadelphia.
Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, of cavalry fame
(hiring the rebellion, lately United States
Minister to Chili, arrived in New York on
September Nth fiom Chili. He is in the
best of spirits, and is speaking in behalf of
Grant and Colfax.
"From present indications," says the
Baltimore American, ' Seymour will not
carry a single Northern State. The tide is
setting in stronger every day for Grant and
Coltax. Kentucky and Maryland are the
only States to be relied on even little Del
aware wavers. It looks as if the Democra
cy would lie distanced in the race in Novem
ber." Just so !
Donald .J. Warner, Esq., of Salisbury,
Conn., a prominent member of the Litch
field county bar and a life-long Democrat, is
out for Grant and Colfax, and addressed
the Grant Club of Cornwall last Friday eve
ning a-week, giving his reasons for support
ing Grant and Colfax in preference to Sey
mour and Blair. His speech was one of
remarkable candor and effectiveness. He
showed conclusively that to be consistent
ev ry war Democrat must vote for Grant
and Colfax.
The "tide" is increasing in Kentucky.
Among the Democrats who have lately re
pudiated Seymour and Blair and now hear
tily support the election of Grant and Col
fax, ate the following prominent names not
herctolore published: Gen. W. E. Hobson.
late Brigadier General of volunteers, and in
I.SGG the Johnson candidate for Clerk of the
Court ot Appeals; John E. Newman, Esq.,
until lately Circuit Judge of the Baid.-town
Circuit, and who voted lor McClellaa iu 1.S64 ;
R. B. Boiling, Esq., first nominee of the
Johnson men in Ib'GG for Clerk ol the Court
of Appeals, and novv'Surveyor of the Port
of Louisville; Dr. J. B. English, of Owen
county, State Senator from JSGl to 1SG5 ;
W. W. Gardner, Esq., of Union, State Sen
ator from ISO I to 1865 ; and Col. J. II.
Ward, Colonel of the twenty-seventh Ken
tucky Infantry.
The New York Herald, of Thursday,Sept.
17th, fully realizing the "drift of the tide'
since the Maine election, makes the follow
ing significant declarations :
"Grant is now the nominee for President.
and Greeley, Phillips, and the Radicals, as
well as al the conservative Republicans hi
the fctate.are giving him an ardent support
The elections in Vermont and Maine have
shown its great strength, and the elections
in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Iowa,
will put his success beyond the shadow of a
doubt. Everv Seward and Weed politician
in t his Stwte.w ho last year voted a:aiu.tthe
Fenton ticket, will this year vote atid labor
for Grant and Griswu'd. The Geriuans.who
were bumbugued last year on the lagcrque
tion. and who have stain had to pay their
exorbitant license fee, will vote frrGrb wold,
the Gambrmus of free lager, who will give
them speedy relief. In til's city alone the
llepiiblican vote will be fully doub cd. and
everywhere there are unmistakable indica
tions that on the question of loyalty, on the
question of policy, on the question of moral
ity.and on the question ot whi.sky and lager
beer, the State ot New York will no back
to her old position an ! cast a heavy majority
against the Copperhead Democracy."
The Jiedord County I'ress, last week,
hoi.-ted the names of Grant and Colfax, to
itsmast-h. ad. Ttie editors in changing their
course communicate to their readers, in a
bold and frank manner, their position and
strike the nail fii-.Iy on the head iu the fol
lowing ientenees : .....
" e, with this issue, hoist to our mast
head the names of Grant and Coltax as our
choice tor President and Vice Pre.-ident of
tnc United States. 'e intend to devote a
portion of our columns, henceforth -intil No
vember, to the earnest advocacy. with what,
ever ahjlity we have, of l heir election. We
do this from no partisan motives. U'o be
lieve that Gen. Grant is tho lir.-t choice of
the great loyal mass of the people of the
country OK liOTH PARTIES; that less than
one year ago xink tenths of the voters of
the loyftl States, if left to the honest rxnn s
sion of their choice, free from the Misrepre
sentation and falsehoods ot party leadi-rn
and the unfair appliances of party dri.t
would have voted lor Gen. Grant ; that in
the 'eternal fntiess of things,' and for the
good of the whole country, there should
have been no nomination agaiti.-t him. Like
ashington at the inception of our Gov
ernment, he ought to have been elected with
out any opposition pvceot the suppressed
i hatred of rebels."
Significant It is -perhaps worth re
cording that the Bcpuhlican Senators who
voted to acquit the Presid -nt, are without
exception, for Grant and Colfax. In a
speech the other day.Sen.itor Fessenden re
f erred to the action of the Chicago Conven
tion, and remarked that he did ' not find,
much fault ; he supposed the thirty-five Sen
ators needed indorsement, while he needed"
none. Mr. Fessenden is doing good service.

STAR LIGHTNING ROD! '
The Best and the Cheapest !"
, The Stab Ouvasuku LiairrsiKo Rod is pe-
rior to any in use. and will last lor generations.
It is made from Magnetic Iron jths square
grooved, spiral-twisted and galvanised, and con
nected with pure copper couplings, renderimc it
equal to a copper rod. the whole surmounted with
a iioid-piated cluster point ol pure copper, tune
forming a continuous rod from the piim te the
ground the combination of metals forming a
galvanic battery in Ihe rod. ; .
It is WisiiASTtn always to remain bright and
clean, and will never corrode or rust, tnas pre
senting neat ornaiaeatal appearance ob tbw .
building, worth more than its cost as a n-alter of
ornament, to say nothing about its sura protection '
against lightiiiug.
To cshow the popularity of the Galvanised I? tar
Rod. it is only necessary to say that the propri
etors have pulled off more than one hundred tons '
of old rusty irons, within twelve months, from
college, academies, public buildings, barns, etc.,
and put up the Star Rod in their place.
As the "St n" is better and sold at a less price '
than any other rod. is more d arable and more or
namental, persons should eonsolt their own inter- '
ests and safety to life and property, before they "
have a rod erected on their building. '' '
All that is necessity tocoBvinee the public of
the superiority of the Star Lightning Rod. if
