OBSERVER FOR. TUE CAXPAIGN I
Now is the Time to Nubsesibe!
FIFTY . CENTS FOR, THREE NIONTELS
Toren Forward the eolitema.
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.

One sweetly solemn thought,
Comes to me o'er and o'er—
I'm
nearer home today,
Than I have ever been . before
Nearer my Father's home,
Where the many mansions he ;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the Jasper sea..
Nearer the bounds of life, -
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross, -
- Nearer gaining the crown.
Blain darkly between,

Is the dim and waknown•atjeam
That leads tae at last to tight. •
Closer, closer, my steps
Come to the dark abysm,
Closer death - to my lips
Presses the awful crism.

Let me feel, as I would when I stand
- On the rock of the shore of death.
Feel as I would when my feet
Are slipping on the brink, . -
For it may be that I'm nearer Lome,

AN ELOQUENT EXTRACT.
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.

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

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.

screaming, "Oh , what a man ! Oh, what a

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

and rushing to tbetocrm, she ened the door

Some years ago, in a town not far from
the shore of Lake Erie, in the State of Ohio,
lived a shoe maker named A.,.and a carpen
ter named B. The shoemaker was a know
ing man. He knew so much about every
body's business that he didn't have time pro-
perly to attend to his own, and he was otter
a witness at court. It was his custom to
promise faithfully the completion of work -at
stated times, only to disappoint his customers -
when the day came around. The carpenter,
8., ordered a pair of boots, with the usual
promise from A., that they would be done on
a certain day. The day came, and with it
came B. He didn't get the boots, but re
ceived another good promise. The next, and
repeated visits, brought a repetition of the
promise, but no boots. Finally, one day the
carpenter happened in at the court roomiest
as the unreliable shoemaker was being
sworn as a witness; in some case. The mag
istrate had hardly pronounced the Womb,
"You solemnly swear that you will tell the
truth, so help you God," when the carpenter
sang out at the top of his voice : "Now, old
fellow, I've got you where I want you. Now,
i 3
sir, tell me when my boots will be done."
His boots were ighed the next - time he
called. •
