Tiiehe are between ten and twelve thou
sand nejjro voters in Pennsylvania. Per
haps this, in a groat measure, accounts for
the "ninth resolution" of tha recent liar
ri.sburg convention. How is it, Mr. Wal
lace ?
It IS A significant fact that the '''Demo
cratic victory" in New Hampshire, such us
it is, was effected by the votes of original
and life-long Abolitionists, under the j.'U!.e
of "Labor lt'jfonneri." Will the Southern
Democracy stick a j.i; there?
The feud in Mexico boteen the d'.uVr
ent competitors for the Presidency continue,
and have assumed the proportions of a civil
war. The movements airaiu.-t the Govern
ment are increait in strength, and there
is momentary danger of a general insurrec
tion. The New York Sun starts the exceeding
ry unreliable rumor that England proposes
to guarantee the payment'of one hundred
million dollars for Cuba, provided the Cu
bans wiil pledge themselves not to become
annexed to the United States. This is rath
er thin.
TilB Bedford county V asks : "Will
the Democracy of Berks, York, and other
counties under their control divide their lo
cal offices with the black man and soldiers?
They never did it heretofore. It is to be
wn whether they will da it, now that they
want their votes."
It IS rumored that Minister Washburne
has leave to return home for a time, this
summer. He richly deserves the reward of
rest, and of an honorable reception on his
arrival in thf country. lie has made a
good record in France, and hi reflected
honor on the country.
The Deaioeratic leade.o having acknowl
edged the correctness of Republican princi
ples and policy by adopting the Ninth reso
lution, what is to deter clie honest and well
meaning portion of that party from uniting
fully with the liepuV.icaus? Step in gen
tlemen, there w still room.

General McCandless ! General Mc
Cook I Every other Democratic candidate
bee ins to be a General. Who, then, said
the war was a lailure ? Was it the Demo
crats, and did they mean it ; or, are these
General merely "accepted but not endors
ed," like the amendments? What do you
say, George ?
The young Iowa Democracy unite with
their friends in Ohio and Pennsylvania in
the "new departure" stampede. It wut be
a very trying business on the old hard shells
of the party, to swallow these new-fangled
notion platforms. Kvidently, the Democra
cy are in "a bad fix," and will find "Jordan
a hard road to travel."
The Democracy of Northumberland are
divided into tactions, each of which throat
en open revolt. It is probable tiint two
tickaUt will be nominated, and an interne
cine war waged which shall help us not a
little. It is the same all over the State.
The Democratic party of Pennsylvania nev
er entered a campaign more dispirited, dis
heartened, or utterly disgusted with itself.
The New York Tammany politicians, it
is currently reported, have in view the send
ing of a committee to Jefferson Davis, to
endeavor to dissuade him from the rebel
lious courses in which ho is cn:i;,'eJ. IlaJ
they thus rem mstrate 1 with Davis in lfiOl,
instead of "iv-tiu" hiai on to treason and
to war, thousauds of lives and millions of

The New IIamphire Der.ioc-r-its have
determined to irM the Granite iSule fcr a
few years if po.-.".i.le. The pLn is to con
test the seats and turn out twenty tive lle
publieans of the pre-eut htislature, anl
then re distriet the State f ir Congressmen
and members of the legislature, upset tha
judiciary, and genywanJer to the iurthet
limit of partisan calculation. And why
not? Rascality is a cardinal doctiiue ot
Democratic faitb.
The difference between our plain Repub
lican style of government and that of mon
rchial Kng'and is illustrated in the fact that
Earl de Grey and Ilipon Ls to be made 51ar
quis of Ripon, as an acknowledgment of
his services in connection with the treaty of
'Washington. Secretary Fi.-h is generally
conceded to have done n re than Earl de
Grey in developing the treaty. He will
probably newr receive so much as a vote of
thanks from Congress.
Whatever else may be said of Colonel
Forney, it must be admitted that his ap
pointment as Collector -of the Port of Phil
adelphia has been a good thing for the bus
iness of that city. He has induced the
Treasury Department to give its atu.uiion
to the work of removing all difficulties in
the way of the transit in bond of foreign
merchandise arriving at the port ot New
York destined for Philadelphia. The iup
licate lee business has been overcome, so
that now the goods only have to pay one set
of fees, which is an important reduction of
the expanse to the iuijioiter.
The Democray Dead.
Not only is the teeesMon eaure dead beyond the
possibility of revival, but all in original adviser
and leading abettors are equally dead and dis
credited in a political sense. itu York World.
If all the "original advisers and leading
abettors" ot secession are "dead and dis
credited in a political sense," where, we ask,
is the Demoeratlo party ? Did they not give
aid and comfort to the South during all the
long and bloody years of rebellion ? They
declared the South could never be conquer
ed, and in deliberate national convention
pronounced the "war a failure." No jour
nal in the land took a more active part in
aiding and abetting secession than the one
from which we clip the above. If it had
not been for the aid rendered by such pa
pers as the New York Worltl, and almost
the entire rank and file of the Democratic
party, the rebellion would have collapsed in
a few short months. The only reward they
have for their ill-advised and suic dal con
duct is the melancholy pleasure of writing
their own epitaph as above. Never did the
World utter truer words than thos-e which
stand at the head of this paragraph. The
Democratic party which advised and abetted
secession is now "dead beyond the possibil
ty of revival." No new departure can give
it re-animation, so tays the World, and it
knws.
TllE sorrows of the Democracy in Ohio
are some-thing fearful to contemplate. It
seems that the proverbial rascality of the
organization is beginning to turn on itself,
just as a serpent is said, when perplexed, to
bite its own body. It is freely rumored that
the nominations made at the Democratic
C .invention in this Slate, and more especial
ly the plalfoim adopted, were carried by
false counts of the votes on the part of the
Secretary. In Ohio, an open rupture has
been reached for the ame rca.ion. It is now
claimed that the nomination for Governor
was secured to the announced candidate by
a double count ot votis. So serious is the
trouble that tiu Sta'e Committee has deter
mined to meet and settle the trouble. This
is not all indicative of a suceesfnl cam
paign. Out of the misunderstanding will
eome heart burnings which, added to those
already engendered by the difficulty over the
platform, will scatter and disperse the party
and give to the Republicans an easy and
triumphant victory.
Pi tThEM TlinOl H. William Lo -khanm
of New Haven, was found guilty, by the
superior court, of fraudulent votiug in the
Fourth ward of that city at the last State
election. The petmlty is one year's impris
onment and a fine of if 100. The Democratic
leader, "Baron Sehleigel," is under bonds
to answer to the charge of aiding this man
in voting illegally. The ward was where a
hundred Democratic votes wete slipped in
and counted ; and, when it was discovered
there were one hundred too many, one hun
dred Republican rotes were stolen to" make
the number of votes correct! That made
a change of two hund.ed votjjs. It is a
good sisrn to see the actors in that fraud
hunted out and punished.
TtiE new departure of Democracy and
the motive with which it is accpted, remind
ns of the story of Uncle Sam, a down east
farmer, known far and wide by his patriotic
title, who had a neighbor addicted to the
habit of working on Sundays. After awhile,
however, this Sabbath breaker joined the
church, shortly after whieh occurrence our
friend met the minister to whose congrega
tion he belonged. "Well, Uncle Sam,"
said he, "do you see any difference in your
neighbor since he made profession of reli
gion?" "O, yes," replied Uncle Sam, "a
great difference. Before, when be went out
to chop in the woods on Sundays he cariied
his axe on his shoulder, but now he hides
it under his coat."

Thtf Bradford Reporter, in reference to
the Republican candidates and platform
says : ' ' ' "
The candidates placed in nomination are
men of moral worth and political integrity.
Doth of them served in the army during
the rebellion Dr. Stanton as a surgeon,
and Col. Beath enlisted as a private and
came out with a colonel's commiseion, earn
ed by gallant service in the field. "The plat
form is all that could be. desired. Every
plank is of sound timber, capable of any
test which our opponents may apply to it,
and broad enough to accommodate every
man who is a Republican from principle. It
is the doctrine of the Republican party to
do what is right for all men and all inter
ests. But that we have triumphed hereto
fore and by it we will be victorious as long
as we are faithful to its noble teaching.
Aside from the merits ol our candidates,
and they arc well established, we eo into the
campaign animated and controlled by the
absorbing truth that it is necessary for the
Republican party to succeed, because such
success is essential to the well-being and the
perpetuity of the Republio. There can be
no good government in this country unless
it is administered by good Republican states
men. All that we are as a ftate and a na
tion we owe to Republican policy. Had the
Democratic party been continued in power
in ISliO, we would have cea-ed to exist as a
united nation in ISTO. These are the prin
ciples on which we i;o into the contest, and
on the single issue that the people cannot
do without the Government administered
by the Republican party, we will win uuoth
er great victory in October.
The Lincoln Intitnte of Jefferson City,
Misouri, is one of the proudest monuments
to the colored people in the country. Some
six yeats ago, deeply impressed with the
importance of education, a number of col
ored soldiers sub.-cribei six thousand dollars
towards the establishment of a college in
Missouri. The money was invested and a
fine college bui!ding worth 20,000 is the
result, and besides the State has endowed
the Normal Department with an annuity of
$5,000. The new building will be dedicated
on July 4th next. The trustees are anxious
to secure well qualified instructors for the
coming year, and in order to accomplish
that end have issued a circular stating that
a Principal (male) and assistant, either male
or female, are wanted. Applicants may be
white or colored. The salaries are $2,000
for Principal and ? 1,200 for Assistant.
Axi now comes the appalling announce
ment of another most terrible calamity at
sea, whereby five hundred kidnapped coolies
were literally roasted alive. It seems, from
the accounts, that these unfortunate human
victims to the avarice of man were entrap
ped aboaid a slave tfeamship at Macao, a
Portuguese city cn the coast of China, at
the mouth of the Canton river, and were
being carried off in bondage to some market.-
They were contined in the hold, and
when out at sea one of their number fired
the vessel. The officers and crew at once
closed and fastened the hatches, and left the
ship and their victims to the flames. The
fate of the five hundred was a terrible one,
and calls for a wift and certain vengeance
on their cruel murderers.
Karl RrssEi.i, moved an address to the
Queen from the British House of Lords op
pugns tbo Treaty or W..I,inton. Earl de
Grey and Ripon merely mentioned the pro
gress of free trade in America, and Earl
Russell withdrew his motion. Now Earl
Russell is notorious for his- dislike for this
country ; nor, indeed, are Englishmen, as a
body, believed to be in the habit of acting
against their own interests. Why then does
the prospect of free trade with this country
quiet them so completely, if we are to be
benefitted thereby ? lias true Christianity
so imbued the House of Lords that the
prospect of the prosperity of a rival nation
will induce them, like the wicked, to "cease
from troubling."
IiOchefobt is reported seriously ill, in
prison, in France. Can it be that there is
an attempt to quietly kill him off without a
trial? His trial has been postponed from
time to time tor the alleged reason that it
might involve some very uncomfortable de
velopments for the Government. His con
nection with the first Government after the
fall of the Empire seems to have given him
an inside view of matters, and to have plac
ed in his hands some evidence thit saves
hiiu from suiuuiaiy trial and execution. If
he will be so kiuJ as to die U nil! doubtless
greatly relieve the Government. .
The free trade Democracy tactics are thus
exposed by the Reading Tlnwt :
. "The Democratic party has always been
opposed to the policy of protection, as their
votes fully atte.-t. Of course there aro a
few Democrats (as in the ease of the last
session ot Congress) who voted tor a low
tariff, but the bulk of their party are now,
and have always teen, committed to free
trade, which, in other words, means the de
basement of the labor system of this coun
try, the contraction of wages, and the ine
vitable ruin and bankruptcy of every mat)
whi is compelled to toil with his hands for
the maintatnance of himself and family."
En. Scull, of the Somerset JIcruld,thaa
plants a stunning blow iu the tenderest spot
of his neighbor the Democrat :
"A few years since the Somerset Demo
(.rat was embellished with a cut of 'Scull
swallowing a negro.' We suggest that it
again be produced lor the edification of the
Democrats of this county who are now, by
their State platform, ordered to attempt the
same feat. It would happily illustrate the
immutable and unchangeable principles of
the Democratic party, and at the same time
prove, as Sam Patch did, that some things
can be done as well as others."
