The political campaign Own which we are about entering is one of the most impor tant that has ever occurred in the State. It virtually decides the Presidential contest of next year. far "as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union." - •The indicationt on every side point to a more encouraging proimmt for the success of Democratic principles than we have had in t number of years. Thad deus Stevens, the great Radical leader, says Pennsylvania is. likely to go against the Radicals this fait, and he is the last man who would utter such a prediction unless the signs of-the times were so unmistakeably clear as to allow of no other conclusion. We can win the victory If we use the right thi exertion, and if Democrats are one-half as earnest in the cause as they profess, they will not allow despondency and inaction again to prevent the supremacy of our prin ciple& Determined to do our share in the work, we have concluded to furnish' the Observer at the following low rate : One copy, three months - 40.50 Five copies, " - - - 2.50 Ten.copies, • " " - • 5.00 Twenty copies," " - - - 9.00 These prices barely cover the expense to us, and we are only induced to offer them in the'hope that by the wider circulation which the paper .may secure,, we shall be enabled still flarther to promote the cause which lies so near to the hearts of all true Democrats. Subscribers can commence any tiros precious to the eketient, and may rely upon having the paper promptly discontinued at the expira tion of the period for which they have paid. At these moderate figures it ought not to be a difficult task to secure a subscription of two thousand extra copies for the Observer between now and the day of election. We hope our friends in every part of the dis trict will see the importance of obtaining the widest possible circulation for the paper, and so to work at once to help on the move ment. The emergencies of the crisis de mand the individual effort of every man and woman who feels an interest in Democratic principles. See that your neighbors are supplied with sound doctrines, and let them obtain an understanding .of the issues In volved ,in the contest. If there • is a luki warm Democrat near you, who does not now receive his county paper, induce him to subscribe for it three months at least. It will revive his zeal in the cause, and may make of him an earnest and effective worker. Furnish your Republican neighbor with a copy, and let him see what the measures of his party leaders have done and are doing to damage his interests. There are hosts of Republicans who stand hesitating as to their duty, and who.only need to become thorough ly acquainted with Democratic principles and arguments, to become hearty adher ents of our cense. Who will be the first to send us a club of ten or twenty campaigner' 7 . We intend do• lug our hill &lay in the campaign, and look to oulfriends to perform theirs. 13uoineso /Directory. 1 far Business Cants inserted in this depart ment for ono year, at a dollar per line.

The following eloquent extract is front the speech of Hon. 8. 8. Cox, delivered at the dedication of the new Tammany Hall, New York, oi the 4th of July: " A great war has made desolation and the Radicals call it a new order. They made at knee and sorrow—signs of death—all through the land,_ and call it peace, but It is the peace of terror; or again, they call it God's Provi dence when it is the organization of bell; [applause;] or again profillessive govern ment, when it is as old as the despotism of the Orient.. They gave us a debt, which drawing on posterity to pay, they, as Is usual with such deferred debts,, squandered in riot ous prodi,galityr. They gave us a credit which goes a begging through Europe at over 8 per cent when even England borrows for 8 and Russia for 4 cent. They , have disenchant ed us of the belief that Republican paths were usually the paths of prosperity and peace. Leaving the track of exwrienee they have endeavored hi consolidate power hi a Congress, and perpetuate it in a party, to the dishonor of all our traditions, history and constitutions. Instead. of repairing the breaches in our system made by the war, they have widened them by questions which engender strife. Blisters and poisons are ad-• ministered instead of anodynes. Erecting as law, that which is martial law; or the exlino tion of all law save the will of the comman der, they have cheated-the people out of their liberties by one pretence or another, until the moral sense of the nation is numbered, and the en g .inery of the State paralyzed. Their mailed band throttles nearly one-half of th •%' nation: - (Cheers.) They are endeavoring to make a people take, if not love, a system un der which they re at once loaded with odium and taxes. They threaten to divide estates, to reward a se mi -barbarous rice lb? their Ig norant suffrages, registered by the point of the bayonet. Not only do they assume to give vigor to their acts by constructions of the I Constitution, but when that instrument Ls an obstrriction, they trample on 'its provisioffs. They both poison and stab. The express reservation of powers to the States and the people, as well in matters of suffrage as in the very existence of the States is blotted out, of their editions of the Constitution. The I Very names of States are destroyed, and mil itary districts substitaled. No page in histo ry, nothing on this Sfax for three thousand years can match this sit of giving unbridled power to. the military arm over an area equal to half of Europe, displacing judicial tribunals- and.Btate governments, a bill of at tainder, and of pains and penalties which crimsons the cheek with shame at its enormi ty and at the abjectness of our submission to its yoke. (Applause.) The rights of the State, to jury trial in the vicinage t to habeas corpus, to freedom from ez post facto laws, to security for property, person. life and, liberty—all re served to the States in their own bounds and Constitutions, are swept away by the recon struction bill. The President gave the right reasons for its veto. It was a grant of un limited power to the military: and if the At torney General has, in the interest of the citizen and of liberty, seemed to interpret the law as if some power was reserved, it is cer tain Congress intended to make the bill as vindictive, proscriptive, tyrannical and dila tory as possible. This act was passed in a passion, as 31irabeau said of hasty will-mak ing : ab irato, ab izsbecffli, a territo,a Mr. Stanberry's opinion must be repealed by the Congress which meets to-day, lest his mi tigating interpretations prevail, the nation be organized, and ten States vote for President in 1868! A venerable statesmau, insurveying these acts of atrocity, told the Supreme Court that he had traveled through Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Russia, and that he found no such despotism as that which was-established by these acts.- These 'countries all had courts of some description, and allowed a hearing and an opportunity for defence. The sword was not the only arbiter. But here an act of Congress sweeps ten States out of existence, and subjects every one of their ten millions of people, of all ages, sexes and colors to the' despotic-will of military conunanders. We shrink from such legislation as from a moral epidemic, with horror and dismay. . "What a spectacle fuithis era ! Ten States disowned, at a time when even Francis Jos eph, of Austria, moans Hungary, and as sures to her an autonomy o f government with liberal righti ; when Germany consoli dates her power by the extention of her lib end Zollverein; when Napoleon accumes the liberalizing speech and press 1 We have four States that helped to make the Ccinsti laden sorrowing with their six young sisters, at the bier of their liberties.

A MARRIED WS REVERIE. What a blockhead my brother Torn is not to marry or rather, perhaps I should say, what a blockhead not to marry some twenty five years ago.. I suppose he'd hardly get any decent sort of a body to take hint as old as he is new. Poor fellow, what a forlorn kind of a life he leads, no wife to take care of him, no domestic enjoyments, nothing snug andcomfortable in his arrangements at home, no social dinners, no pleasant faces at break fast By the way, what the deuce is the rea son my breakfast does not come up, I've been waiting for the last half hour.. Oh, I forgot, my trash o wife sent the cook to market to get some r other for Dick's cold. She coddles that boy to death. But, after all,' ought not to find fault with Tom for not getting a wife, for he has lent me a good deal of money that came quite convenient and I suppose the young ones will have all lie's worth when he dies, poor fellow. They'll want it, Fm afraid, for although my Wildness does very well, this house-keeping eats up the profits with such a large family as mine. Let me see, how many mouths have I to feed every day. There's my wife ad a her two sisters—that's three, and the four boys—seven, and Lucy, and Sa rah, and-Jane, and Louisa, four more,—elev en, then there's the cook, and the housemaid, and the boy—fourteen, and the woman that cornea every day to do odd jobs about the house--fifteen, then there's the nursery maid —sixteen. Surely there must be another. I'm sure I made it out seventeen, when I was reckoning up last Sunday morning at church; there must be another somewhere; let me see again—wife, wife's sisters, boys, girls,— oh, it's myself. Faith, I have so many to think and provide fur that I forget myself half the time. Yea, that makes it seventeen. Seventeen people to feed every day is no joke, and somehow or other they all have most fit nous appetites. What a havoc they do make with the buckwheat cakes of a morning, to be sure. Now, poor Tom knows nothing of this— There he lives all alone by himself in a boarding house, with nobody near him that cares a brass farthing whether ho lives or dies. No affectionate wife to nurse him and coddle- hint up when ho is sick ; no little prattlers about him to keep him in good hu mor; no dawning intellects whose develop ments he can amuse himself with, watching day after day; nobody to study his wishes and keep a ll his comforts ready. Confound it, hasn't that woman got back from market yet I feel remarkably - hungry. I don't mind the boy's being coddled and nursed, if my wife likes it, but there is no joke in having the breakfast kept back for an hour. 0, by the way, I must remember to buy all those things for the children today: Christmas is close at hand, and ms' wife has made out a list of the presents she means to put in their stockings. More expense, and their school bills coming in too. I remember before I was married I used to think' what a delight it would be to educate the young rogues my self, but a man with a_large family has no time for that sort of amnsement. I wonder how old my young Tom is; let me see,Wheri does his birth day come ; next month, as I am a Christian, and then he will he fourteen. Boys at fourteen consider themselves all but en now-a-days, and Tom is' quite of that ' mind I see. Nothing will suit his exquisite feet but Wellington boots, at thirty shillings a pair, and his mother has been throwing out hints for some time as to the propriety of get ting a watch for him—gold of course. Silver was quite good enough. for me when I was half alscore years older than he is,-but times are awfully changed since my younger days. Then, I. believe in my soul, the young villain has learned to play billiards, and three orfour times lately, when he has 'come in late at night, his clothes seemed to be highly per filmed with cipt' smoke. Fathers have many troubles, and I cannot help thinking some times that old bachelors are not such wonder ful fools after all. They go to their pillows at night with no cares on their minds to keep them awake, and when they have once got to sleep nothing comes to disturb their repose— nothing short of the house being ea fire can reach their peaceful condition. No getting up in the cold to walkup and down the room for an hour or two, with a squalling young varlet, as my luck has been for the last five or six weeks. It's an astitnishing_ th ing to perceive - what a passion our little Louisa ex hibits for crying ; so sure as the clock strikes, then she begins, and there's no getting her quiet again until she has fairly exhausted the - strength of her lungs with good straight for ward screaming. I can't understand why the young villains don't get through all their squalling and roaring in the daytime when I am out of the way. Then again, what a de lightful pleasure it is to be routed out of one's first nap and sent off post haste for the doc tor, as I was on Monday • night, when my wife thought Sarah had got the cramp, and frightened me half out of my wits with her -lamentations and fidgets. By the way there's the doctor's bill to be paid soon, his collec tor always pays me a visit just before Christ mas. Brother Tom has uo doctor's to fee, and that certainly is a great comfort Bless my soul how the time alips.away. Past nine o'clock and no breakfast yet—wife playing with Dic,and gettin the three girls and their two brothers ready f or school. Nobody thinks of me starving all this time. What the plague has become of my newspaper ? I wonder if that young rascal Tom, has carried it off—l dare say to read in school when he ought to be pouring over his books. He's a great tor ment, that boy. But no matter, there is a great deal of pleasure in married life, and if some vexations and troubles do come with Its delights, grumbling won't take them away nevertheless. Brother Tom, I'w not very cer tain but that you have done quite as wisely as I, after all. • Hogged Against Ills Will. From the Louhreille Courier.] A most ludicrous scene transpired in a place not a thousand miles from the city of Louis ville, one night last week, which, though a little annoying to the parties immediately concerned, was yet. so innocent and funny, thnt we cannot refrain from giving the gene ral outlines, suppressing names, of course. Two sprightly and beautithl young ladles were visiting their cousin, another sprightly and beautiful young lady, who like her guests, was of that happy age which turns every thing-into inn and merriment. If the truth were told, we fear that we should Lave to re cord the fact that these three misses were ,iust a little bit fast. They were fond of practical jokes, and were continually playing all sorts of mad pranks with each other. All these occupied a room on the ground floor, and cuddled up together In one bed. Two of the young ladies attended a party on the night in question, and did not get home until half-past 12 o'clock at night. As it was late they concluded not to disturb the household, so they stepped into their room through the tow, open window. In about half an hour after they had left for the party, a young Methodist minister called at the house where they were staying and craved a night's lodging, which of course was cheerfully granted. As ministers always have the best of everything, the old lady put him to sleep in the best room, and the young. tally (Fannie), who had not gone to the party was entrusted wit up for the absent ones • of the change of zoo: in the parlor, e sleep overeamt excursion to th Wewill now dies who had gone into U • window.

They put their heads - togeL (Vermin ed to turn the tables on her. Silently they disrobed, and as stealthy as cats they took their positions on each side of the bed. At a given signal both jumped into bed ,one on each side of the unconscious person, laughing and screaming, "Oh , what a man ! Oh, what a man P' they gave the bewildered minister such a promiscuous hugging and tousling as few persons are able to brag of in the course of alife time. The noise of this Proceedingatioke the old lady, who was sleeping in'an adjoining room. She comprehended the situation in a moment, and rushing to tbetocrm, she ened the door and exclaimed: "My God, ga it is a man ; It Is a wan, surd enough l" There was one prolonged, consolidated scream, a flash .of muslin through the doer, and all was over.
