It virtually decides tho -*Presidential contest of next year, for "as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Dnion." The indications on every side point to a more encouraging prospect for the success of Democratic ,principles than we have had in a number of,yearaz Thad deus Stevens, the great Radical leader, says 'Pennsylvania is likely to go against the Radicals this fall. and he is the last num who would utter such a prediction unless the signs of the times were so unmistakeably clear as to allow of no other conclusion. We eon win the victory if we use the right ful exertion, and if Democrats are ono-half as earnest in the cause as they pm&ss, they will not allow despondency and inaction again to prevent the supremacy of our prin ciples. Determined to do our share in the work, we have concluded to furnish the Observer at the following low rate: One 'copy, three months - Five copies, " u - - - 2.50 Ten copies. " " - - . - • 5.00 Twenty copies, " " - - - 9 -00 These. prices barely cover the expense to us, and we are only induced:to effpr them In the hope that by the Wider , -'ett*tion .w the paper may secure, we. shall be enabled still further to promote the cause which lies so near to the helots of all true Democrats. Naturriberx ran mummer any time previous 4i the election, and may rely upon haying the paper promptly dbcontinned at the expira tion of the period for' which they have paid. these,rnoderate 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 Meath in every part of the dis trict will see the importance of obtaining the widest passible circulation for the piper, and go 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 lake-. 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 hint 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 cause. • Who will he the find to send Os tt club of ten or twenty campaigners?

The erieetkon of :ridge Willismi : es MO Radical candidate for the Semi:nib - bench gave rise at the start to some inquiry why a native of Pennsylvania tom' not have been found in the =Asks, that party who would have been competent to perform- the duties of the position If elected." The reason has never been -given by any of our Radical State,ergtuas bat !may be attributed to the fact, perhaps, that no Pennsylvanian was willing to debase himself so ltek , as to stand upon a platform Which virtually pledges him to decide as the party dictates, instead of act ing ns judgment and the Constitution would sequin of him. However this may be, we are assured that Judge Williams' nomination Las given great delight to the law breakers of_ New Englaid, in whose view • the greatest mrit that a man can ,possess is to be able to stretch Lis conscience to any extent that may be needed for perpetuating Radical party schemes. The Salem (Masai Journal thus goes into eestacies over his selection as the Mulled standard-beater: " The nomination of Judge Williams for the Su renie Court, in Pennsylvania, by the Ikpnblicans, is another acithowlz edgement on the part of the stolid Dutch ele ments of the superiority of New England men. Judge Williams is a native of Connect lent, and reeeived his early training in the higher-law doctrines of our section. We have been reliahhi informed that he has in no - wise apetatellzi.il from the faith of his fathers or the true principles governing the Tights of man, but that he steadfastly retains his affection for New England Institutions. Those are the sort of-men wtriove to see de leted to power in the Dutch Middle States and over the half civilized people of the West. They constitute the ark of safety for the material interests of our section, and in no instance, where money can effect any thing; should the people of New England be sparing of their mean** In securing the nomi nation and election of such men as Judge Williams. " Pennsylvania- 7 -prior, ignorant, stupid old Dutch State—regirdless of the hissing of Copperheads, Is now pretty thoroughly "Yanketized.," Thaddeus Stevens, a native of-Vermont, and a man true to his faith, holds the political elements of the State its the hollow of his hand, and, on a fair ballot of the rank and file of the party, would have' been made United States Senator. The State . Superintendent of Common SchOols is by birth and education a New Englander, and it is fair to presume that the next crop of Dutch voters will be as completely "Yan keeized" ns it is passible to effect out of such unpromising material. We understand, also, that each annual Legislature is largely Item pased of New England men, and that' more than one-half the present delegation in Con gress are natives of our section,' but of this we are not quite positive. Taking matters on the whole, the out-look in Pennsylvania is as favorable for New England ideas and supremacy as could be wished." The "stolid Dutell'element,"whO comprise so large.a portion of the voters in this Com monwafith, will read the above with min gled emotions of revenge and contempt. Two-thirds of them have heretofore given their support to the party of which the author of the above is an exponent, and they have now an opportunity to see what the real sentiments of. the men are who have been cajoling them for their votes the last seven -years. It may open• their eyes to the base ingratitude of Radicalism, and awaken them to atconscionsnes.a that all it cared for was to obtain their support, Having secured that, and obtained a•foothold which it imagines to be permanent, It hi ready to dispense-with their'services, and substitute' that of the ne gro in their stead. We suspect that they pill not be long in taking the hint. WILY•DOES TRADE Lmiavisu The great depress:on of businessthrongh out the country.is the subject of much re mark. It is not confined to any one section, or to. any one branch of industry, Com merce, navigation. shipbunding. Manufac tures of all kinds are almost at 'a stand-still, and jobbers and retailers of goods are no better off. The cotton, woolen, leather and shoe trades two all declining. Collieries and ' iron founderies in Pennsylvania have stopped work, as well as the eastern cotton mirk In the South,--.as is well known, there prevails an utter stagnation of business. Cotton Ls very low nearly one-half lower for some grades than the price - of last January—and the growing crop will not be remunerative 1 to the planter, though it will be smaller by one-seventh than the crop of last year. - 1 When we inquire into the causes • of this extraordinary depression of trade we will tlad that political uncertainty is the most active and ' influential of aiiy that can be named. Congress has seen fit 'to quarrel with the President In regard to Southern re construction, 'and has sought to keep the South out of-the Union' until it could be ad mitted without danger to the continuance of the Radical party in power. - Congresa en deavors to perpetuate disunion until Intusur pations of the whole power of the govern ment shall be confirmed and upheld. That is, Congress says: We Will retain our two- ' 1 thirds' power, and will not admit the exclud ed Southern States until they embrace our volley, and send Radical; men 'to Congress to unite with us, in support of Radical measures. There is no prospect before the country but that -of disunion, anarchy, pro fligate and corrupt appropriations of-pablic money, the final obliteration of State gov ernments, and the establishment of a great central despotism. The North has much capital yet, and much enterprise, both of which would be emf ployed in the South,..to the advantage of both sectioni, if Congas would give us peaceund restoration of the Union. This is necessary to give the country confidence in the future. Trade will not revivewhile Rad teal rule prevails. ,That is a business and a political fait. 'That a fair crop of grain will put starvation from our &ins is very true ; bat it will not be sufficient of itself to set in motion the Capital, labor, sad Ludairtries of the ceunstry. • Tim WAR or um EMPRESS 0331PABIER.— The opinion exists quite extensively that 'there is not room Air mom than one Ex press Company on any on e , and that the result of the present.quarrel.sll he that the weaker of the companies meat go to the wall. Our impression is that there is room for two companies on any line, and that the public will be the gainers by "healthy crap *What. Let the Merchant's Union and Whichever company is competing with it charge fair and uniform rates and get what business they can. It is not far the interest of the public that either should kill the other. The Merthant's Union was established and Is in lime part owned by swan proprietors, who went into the business- with Mir eyes open, and appearances do not indicate that they Witold to abandon the fight. The -Ad ants, the 4yneriam, am' the United States Express COMFAUtini have done, in years past, a very profitable business The public corn; phhard that their chines were sometiosi too high; and.the Merchants Union was err ablittral. They fixed a lower tariff than the old companies, bat at rates which they thought would pay a fair profit. -The old curies reduced their rates stall timer, and it is said that none of them are now making money. We advise the old com panies to charge fair rates, and abandon the idea of killing the Merchant's Union.

It can ,he shown that members of Congress own stock in the street railroads of Washington for which they never paid a eent,or rendered any other re turn than their votes for the acts of incorpo ration. and their subsequent votes to author ize the increase of fare from five to seven cents. It can be shown that 'the two Houses have been, time and again, influenced by the Paltry consideration of free passes in their votes upon matters affecting the greatest railroad monopolies in the country. It can be proven that members of Congress have • appeared in their seats as the attorneys for railroad eorporations. It can be proven that the members of the two Houses were directly bribed for Their votes on the whiskey tax two years ago. -It cart be proven that Senators positively tt,„need to confirm Mr., Cowan as 3finister to Austria last winter,ithe would get Mr. Johnson to appoint their relatives to of fice. All these things and a hundred more can be proved to the satisfaction, if not of Con gress, at least of the country, if _the opportu nity be but presented." vsr~sn. ~. LL To AcurEvE success In Pennsylvania this fall, the Radicals will bend all their energies. Already tit r e key-note of the campaign lues becn*unded. It Is an appeal to passion and. prejudice. The old war issues are revived, and the people are called upon to act as -if time had stood still for the pait two years. To meet this stratagem of the enemy the DemoCratii party must pre - pare inlime. All the facts are in their hands, and 'they must use them in such a manner as to make the most decided and lasting impression upon the people. Passion and prejudice, and the old feelings engendered during the war, can be overcome by' facts - and arguments. Each monstrous act passed by the Radical party li - as been so much gain for the - Democracy. It has served to remove the scales from the eyes of some portion of the community, and ought to make them willing to co-operate with the real Meads of the country in an effort to save - it from anarchy and nib'. The prostrate condition of business is also a standing argu -ment against the policy which .has been adopted by the Radical party, and upon_ this 1 line the Democracy can push their attack • with most positive and telling effect upon the eneink, alike of Pennsylvania and of the nation.

" Tun Chicago Times says ." the people are weighed down With a burden. of debt and taxation that has no parallel in the history of the world. What measure of relief do the Radicals pmpase? What do their conventions declare for? What does their press advocate? Nothing but negro suffrage? They seem to think that this will pay the poor man's taxes -and remedy all pecuniary sufferings and af tliCtiOlLS. Their only panacea fuethe troubles of white men is the bringing of the negroes to the ballot box, and to the social circle. That Is the cure-all with them of everything. "What if the poor man is made a slave to debt and taxes,if the African votes? Looking at it in this light, the Republican papers talk of noth ing but the negro and his rights .

Her skin was fair, her admit hali, Was blown about her pretty forehead, Her tad, white bee wore sorrow's trace, And want and woe that were not bor rowed.

Bite softly said, "We have no bread, No wood to keep the Eire burning ; The child was 111, the wind so chill Her thin cold blood to Ice was turning But men well fed and warmly clad, And ladies robed in richest fashion, Passed on the side where no one cried To them for pity' or compassion. Fled that long night, and then the light Of rosy day in beauty shining, Set dome and spire and roof on fire, And shone on one heyond repining. Asleep —alone-as cold as stone, Where no dear parent ever sought her; In winding sheet of snow and sleet, We found the drunkard's lifeless daughter A Christian Wife. A married woman was effectually called by divine grace, and became an exemplary Christian, but her husband was a lover of sinful pleasure. When spending an evening as usual with his jovial companions at a tav ern, the conversation happened to torn on the excellencies and faults of their wives ; the husband just mentioned pronounced the highest enconiums on hiti wife, saying that she was all that was excellent, only_she was religions. "Notwithstanding which," said he, "such, is the command she hn,s of her temper, were I to take you gentlemen home at midnight and order her to arise and get your supper she would be ail submission and ten• derness.", • The company regarded this merely as .a Cain boast, and dared him to make the ex periment by a considerable wager. The, bet was made, and about midnight the company adjourned .as proposed. Being admitted, " Where is your mistress!" said he to the maid servant, who sat up for him. " She has gone to bed, sir." "Call her up," said he, " Tell her I hive brought some friends home With him, and that I desire her to getup and Prepare supper." The good woman obeyed the unreasonable summons, dressed, came down and received the coittpany with perfect' civility; told them she happened to have some chickens ready fiir the spit, and supper would be got as soon as possible. It was ac cordingly served up, when she performed the honors of the table with as much cheerful ness as if she expected company at the pro per hour. • - After supper the guestS could not refrain from expressing their astonishment, One of them, particularly, who was more sober than the rest, thus addrftAßl himself to the lady : "Mariam, your civility fills us all with sur prise. Our unreasonable visit is in conse quence of a wager, which we have certainly lost. As you are a very religions person and cannot, therefore, approve of our conduct, give me leave to ask what can possibly in duce you to act :with so much kindness to us r • " Sir," she replied, " when we were mar ried, my husband and myself were both un converted. It has pleased God to call me out of that dal:6_ ,, erous position . My husband continues in it I tremble for his future state. Were he to die as he is he must be miserable forever ; I think it, therefore, my duty to ren der his present existence as comfortable as possible." This wise and faithful reply affected the whole company. It left a deep impression on the husband's mind. Do you, my dear," said he, "really Walt I would be eternally miserable ? 1 thank you for the L warning. the grace of God I will change my conduct" From that time he became another man, a serious Christian, and therefore a good hus band. Married Christians, especially you who have unconverted husbands or wives, receive the•admonition intended by this fileasina an ecdote. Pray and labor for their conversion ; for " what knowest thou, 0, wife, whether thou shalt save thy huslguid? or how know est thou, Oman, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" What Royalty Costs. In few respects does this government con trast more distinctly with those ofEurope than in the salaries paid to our rulers., The Presi dent of the Umted States receives twenty-five thousand dollars` a year, rind thd free use of a rickety White House, situated oit the borders of a malarious swamp. Although .lent of people are anxious to secure the on ce, even at this low salary, yet it is a fitetthat, In tithes like these, no one but a rich than ought to wish to be President ; for if the national tos pitalities are properly administered, the in cumbent soon finds himself greatly in arrears, and if he endeavors to practice economy, the country is disgraced in the opinions of for eign representatives and of the more intelli gent of our own countrymen. The Etri pap,i eror Napoleon, besides the use of a dozen which are kept in tho most superb order at the public expense, receives a salary of five millions of dollars a year,' The Empress has an allowance 'of one million per annum. The Prince Napoleon receives three_ hundred .thousand dollars. The Princess Matilda is - paid the same sum. The Queen of England is paid a salary of about two and a-half mil lions a year. The Prince of Wales receives halls million, besides his private revenues. Prince Alfred is paid one hundred thousand dollars per annum the Princess Royal forty thousand; the Prin cess Alice thirty thousand; the Queen's aunt, the Dutc.hess of Cambridge, thirty thousand ; the Duke of Cambridge, the Queen's cousin, one hundred thousand. The national palaces are at the disposal of the royal family, free of cost, and are wholly maintained at the public expense. This is whiz it costs to have the luxury of an Empe ror or a Queen. - While none in this country would be willing to see extravagant outlays like these appropriated for our Presidential incumbents, it must be confessed that the sal ary we pay our Chief Magistrate is too beg garly to comport with the honor of a great nation.

The wife promised compilance with his wishes and on the husband telling the house, she put everything in the most exact and neat order.
