The Democratic organization, devoted to
the maintenance of its immortal principles ;
conscious of its duty to them, and to the

and its heroism in disaster,. and remember

The Republican party has controlled the
government far six years, and we accuse it
before you, because:
In the sacred name of Union, it has pa.-
pet rated disunion;
Ia the room of the blessings of peace, it
ha , , iv& 11 us hate, di word and misery ;
It has violated the plainest principles of
free government, broken the written Con
stir ntion, and only yielded obedience to the
I, of pirzy ;
The poople are denied the attribute of I

The destinies of ten States, and of ten
millions of white people therein, are, by
Congress and the military power, placod
under the control of four millions of blacks;
Their reckless expenditure of the pub
lie money in their conduct of the govern
ment, in the suppoct and organization of
lunched , of thou.:opts of idle negroes, in
the employment of hordes of unnecessary
spies and officials, nod in maintaining mili
tary power over the submissive South, en
d:ow:ens and delays the payment of the pub
lic delbt of twenty-seven hundred millions
of dollars—to which the public faith is
pledged :
Their gross itti management. causes taxa
tion to bear heavily upon the people. In
1860. ono dollar and sixty cents per head
were paid by the people through the cus
toms; in 1866, fourteen dollars per head
were drawn, mainly from the consumption
and business of the poorest classes, through
the customs and internal revenue. in Ise)°,
each individual owed two dollars and six
cents of the public debt; in 1867, each
owes seventy-nine dollars and fifty cents
thereof'. In 1860, the expenses of the gov
ernment were sixty-two millions ; in 1867,
the Treasury estimates them at two hun
dred and twenty-live millions, indepembot
of interest on the dad, loth bei n g period s of
pence. Pennsylvania's share of the public
lie debt is two hundred and seventy-five mil
lions, her own debt thirty-five and a half
millions, and her city and county indebted
nes:, will swell the total to four hundred
millions. Twenty-five millions annually
erne flOin your earnings to pay the interest
thereon. In 1840, your State government
cost you four hundred and two thousand
dollars ; whilst in 1866, it cost you six
hundred and sixty-nine thousand dollars;
Toe, pressure of these exhausting butth*-
ens and the suicidal policy of Congress,
have caused uncertainty and depression to
prevade all branches of trade and manufac
tures ;
Our Commerce is staling, the enterprise
of our people is repressed and business in
forms languish ;
The revenues of the government arc lo b s
than its interest end expenses, and the
tin officer foreshadows an increase or
the public debt ;
They plot the destruction of our form of
government, by destroying the independence
of the Executive, attempting to subordinate
the judieiticv and by concentrating all power
in the legislative branch ;
Robbing the people of sovereign power,
they have united it with the government in
Congress, and dealt a fatal blow at our lib
erties, for tyranny may be as absolute - in a
number,of persons as in an individual.
Unblushing corruption stalks thro every
department of the government under their
control.
For these and kindred wrongs we arraign

WILLIAM A. IVALIACE,
NoNsr.NsE.—lmmediately after the as
sassination of Old Abe the radicals declared
the removal of Mr. Lincoln to bean interposi
tion of Providence, because, as they raid,
Lincoln was too easy towards the rebels.—
Johnson was designated as a special instru
ment in the hands of God to punish the
South. They wanted a man of "backbone"
and they said Johnson was just the man.—
If this was true, why then do they now so
bitterly oppose God's minister? But if
God designed the remota! of Old Abe be
cause he was too easy, why did he allow
Seward to escape, who is just as bad a man
now as dohnson? In the Surat t trial the
other day, Carrington said of Seward :
"By a miraculous interposition of Provi
dence his life is spared." Now, if it was a
sin to kill Lincoln why did not Providence
interfere in his ease and save him as Seward
was saved? On the other band, if God
was really the author and instigator of the
conspiracy and death of that "good man"
Lincoln, why then punish those who were
merely his obedient and innocent instru
ments? There is a contradiction involved
in this case somewhere, and it is a question
of importance to know whether God or the
Republicans are the authors of it. They
generally pretend to know moreabout God's
business than their own and they ought to
be able to make this matter clear. If they
can't, we must set them known as "narrow
minded block-heads.''—&linsurore Mies.
A VERY HASTY V. EDDINO.—A somewli tt
novel and romantic marriage took place in
Milwaukee. Wisconsin, recently, which may
interest the lady portion of our readers. .1
wedding was 111111111111e1.1 to take place in the
evening at one of the ehurelo. , , and or
course the rents were crowded—fir Otero
are thousands of persons who will go to , et'
man married or hanged who would net
venture on any other ordinary or estin,ar.
dinary ocmsion. Among the spectators
were a widower and widow, both in the
noonday of life, who happened to sit togeth
er in the same pew. They hall a slight ne
quaint:lnce, and very naturally whispered
talrether upon the appearance of the bride
and bridegroom at the altar. At about the
conclusion of the ceremony the gentleman
sighed very audibly and whispered to his
companion, "Poor things! I hate to Noe
them start out in the world alone ; I'd like
to keep the poor erentures corn pony to-night. "
"80 would I," sighed the widow. "Say we
do," said the widower, a bright idea strik
ing him, "Agreed," responded the widow.
The first ceremony was no sooner through,
accordingly, than up marched the hero and
heroine of our`story to the altar, and in less
time thus a thrice were made one flesh, to
the utter bewilderment of the assemblage.
war- We are informed that, on,, Tuesday
of last week, a named I)nek, in
Dry Valley, Nordo'd Cota.ty was killed in
attempting to creep under a gate. The
gate, whieh was heavy, was standing up
right off its hinges; and while atteu►pting
to pass under, the boy threw it down upon
himself, breaking his neek.—.North'd Cann

The condition of the negro in many seetions
of this once prosperous land is well Pet forth
in the !Wowing paragraph which fulls under
our eye:
A negro sat on the curbstone hare, brood

kinkly his hair, his gizzard feet were expos
to the air, and exceedingly seedy his clothes.
And as he sat in the cutting blast, we had
to pity the cuss : ho wishfully looked at each
person that passed. and we heard hint sortie

able discussion in the House, Mr. El

I offend cal ly in August to deliver all the
sick and wounded prisoners we had without
requiring clods alcum fbr them. I would
have made the offer earlier, but liar the fact
that some considerable time befine t had
made an offer of exchange, man for man,
to which I could get no response. I waited
far a response until early in Arulot, and fail'
ing to receive one, I then made the offer
a bove named, at the same time urging haste
on the part of the United States govern.
went, as the mortality among the Federal
prisoners was %cry groat. During the fall
again and again urged haste, giving the
same reason. I informed the Federal au
thorities that if' they would send transporta
tion flu- 15,000 men to the mouth of the Sa
vannah River I would furnish that number
of skit and wounded, and that I would till
up any deficiency with well prisoners. I
did not require a corresponding delivery of
our prisoners, thOUVII I expressed the desire
that they might be sent. Front early in
August we were not only ready, but anxious
to make this delivery. It was our purpose
as well as our offer, to continue the delivery
of the sick and wounded at all the depots of
prisoners, and upon the terms mentioned;
that is, without requiring equivalents.—
Transportation was not sent until December,
The United States authorities brought in
that mouth some 3,000 prisoners to the
mouth of the Savannah River, and rceciv
ed overl3,ooo in return many of whom were
well men. Thu 3,01 delivered presented
as melancholy spectacle as Andersonville ev
er Most, it not all of them, had
been brought front Elmira. Some died be
tween Elmira and Baltimore, many between
Baltimore and Savannah. Ido not believe
ton per cent. of the number are now alive.
All these facts are known to Federal officers.
Rebels-, may lie, tut yet the feet is fully es
tablished by other evidence that the Folera
authorities sent :;,eoo and received 13,01t0.
They would have received more it' there
had I been me no tuodations. Why was trans
portation sent to Savannah fin. the prison
ers unless I had agreed to deliver them.
Why were 13,000 delivered and only 3,0013
received if I insisted on receiving equiva
lents? There is nothing in the published
correspondence refitrred to by General But
her which, in any manner, contests any one
of the facts I have mentioned. General
Mulford trill sustain everything I have here
in written. Ile is a man of honor and
courage, and, I do not think, will hesitate
to tell the truth. I think it would be well
for you to make an appeal to him, as it has
become a question of veracity. General
Butler says the proposition was ma d e i n the
fall, and that 7,000 prisoners were delivered
It was in August. and over 13,000 were de
livered. If' you will get Pollard's "Lost
Patue," and refer to theehapter on exchange
there you will find the whole question accu
rately stated. Every word of the chapter
is true, so far as it pertends to give facts.
You can make public any portion of this let
ter. I defy contradiction as to any state
ment I hare made, and challenge scrutiny
I will prove every word by Federal testi
mony. Who, then, is responsible for the
suffering of Andersonville during the peri
od of . its most deadly mortality, from Au
gust. to January ? Yours truly,
R. Oct!).
