The political campaign upon Which we
are about entering is one the most impor
tant that has ever occurreTin. the-State. 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

widest passible circulation for the piper, and
go to work at once to help on the move

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

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

his party leaders have done and are doing
to damage his interests. There are hosts of
Republicans who stand hesitating as to their

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. •

railroad monopolies in the country. It can
be proven that members of Congress have

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

Out in the street with tusked feet,
• I saw the thtmkard'i little daughter ;
n, gurgi wasjhbi and small ;
I* --,- /bleotboaititte_litighther.
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.
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled. •
Hope promised her no bright to-morrow ;
Or if its light flashed on her night,
Then up came darker clouds of sorrow.
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

• " 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 ;

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.
Row A Grimm = WAS* 13e.nvEn.—Ar hus
band was continually finding fault with his
wife forher want of neatness—that his house
was not always kept liken bandbox, nor his
tables polished like mirrors. This was one
.day very warmly expressed, and comparisons
were instituted between her management and
that of a neighboring Quakeress, whom the
husband bad seen on that day. The wife
promised compilance with his wishes and
on the husband telling the house, she put
everything in the most exact and neat order.
The husband returned rather later than usu

with him. To his surprise he found the front

Going about her silver house,

I don't wonder," says a lady correspond
ent of a California 3lel'etuT, " that some wo
men are old maids, they are so wonderfully
squeamish and particular that the very prox
imity of anything masculine makes them
nervous. One of this sort lately took passage
on one of the river steamers for Sacramento.
I will tell you the story as it was told to me.
The young lady desired a stateroom for her
self, but, unfortunately, they were all, taken.
She was so pertinacious in her desires, how
ever, that the mmtlemanly clerk of the 'boat
gallantly concluded to give tip his fin her use.
(./n being conducted to tt she started back to
utter horror,- the trunks, coats, boots and' et
cetera: of the masculine occupant so shocked
the poor creature!
"Oh, I never could sleep here unless these
Mints are removed:'
Oft went the chambermaid to the clerk. •
"Oh, yes—take 'em out, of course."
The chambermaid proceeded to do so, but
by accident left a pair of pantaloons hanging
behind the door. The lady was again sum
moned and entered the stateroom - without
perceiving them, and the chambermaid shut a
the door: No sooner had she done so than
she heard a scream, and turning about saw
the lady emerging from the room in great
agitation.
"Oh ! take them out—take them out r' she
exclaimed, " I cannot sleep In that place with .
those things hanging there r
" The chambermaid, who was almost burst
ing with suppressed laughter, removed the
last vestige of masculine apparel, when the
delicate and sensitive young lady took pos
session, • turned in,' and no doubt slept with

The Esperanza, of Queretaro,7 - published
on June 20th, gives a detailed and affecting
account of the last hours of Maximilian.
The substance of it, however, has appeared
in the Observer from other sources, except
a copy of thd.last letter the Emperor wrote
to his wife. This was penned, togetner with
- ohe to his mother, on the night preceding
his execution, and both were entrusted to the
Bishop of Queretaro. After the death of
Maximilian, the letter to Carlotta was opened
and copied by General Carona. It was writ
ten in French, and read as follows:
31Y BELOVED CARLOTTA God permit
that your health get better and yon should
read these few lines, you will learn the cru
elty with which fate has stricken me since
your departure for Europe. Iron took along
with you not only my heart but my good
fortune. Why did I not give heed to your
voice. So many untoward , events! Alas!
so many sudden blows have shattered all my
-hopes, so that death is but a happy deliver
ance—not an agony—to me. I shall die
gloriously, like a soldier, like a king van
quished, but not dishonored. If your suffer
ings are too great, and God should call you
soon to join
_me, I shall bless his Divine
hand which has weighed so heavily upon us.

Tim Ilmus Fiamm—The "portions of
the human figure are strictly mathematical.
The whole figure is.six times the length of
the foot Whether the form be slender or
plump, the rule holds good ; any deviation
from it is a departure from the highest beau )
ty of proportion. ' The Greeks made all their
statues according to this rule. The face from
the hintest Duhrkati t.bc fcrrase•a---ortscre en,6-
flair thuis to the chin is one-tenth of the
whole stature. _ The hand from the wrist to
the middle fmger is the same. From the tap of
the chest to the highest point on the fore
head is a seventh. If the len., ,, th of the face
from the roots of the hair to the chin, be di
vided Into three equal parts, tip first division
determines the place where the eyebrows
meet, and the second the place of the nostrils.
The height from the feet to the top of the
head is the same as the distance from the
extremity of the fingers when the arras are
extended.
To Fort %%Gowns Mrs - D.—Let every
youth settle in his mind that if he ,would
ever be anythin", be has got to make Idin
self; or, in other words, to rise by personal
application. Let him always try his own
strength, and try it effectually, before he is
allowed to call upon others; sending hint
back again and again to the resources of his
own mind, for Indust)* and perseverance
will accomplish it. In his early and timid
flights, let him know, that stronger pinions
are near and ready to sustain him, but only
in the case of absolute necessity. When in
the rugged paths of science, if difficulties im
pede his progress which he cannot 'sur
mount, let him be helpM. over them ; but
never let him think of being- led, when he
has the power to walk without help; or of
carrying his Dre to another's furnace, which
he can melt in his own.
A TarE LADY.-4 was once walking be
hind a very handsoinely dressed young girl,
and thinking as I looked at her beautiful
clothes, "I wonder if she-takes half as much
'pains with her heart as she does with her
body ?" A poor man was coming up the
walk with a - loaded wheelbarrow, and just
before he reached us, he made two attempts
to get into the yard of a small house; but
the gate was heavy-, and would swing back
before he could get through. "Wait," said
the young girl, springing
.lightly forward,
urn hold the gate open." And she held the
gate open until he had passed in, and' re
ceived his thank- with a plelcant smile as
she-went on. "She deserves to have beaud
fulslothes," I thought, "for a beautiful spirit
dwells in her breast."
Tnna.Es.—Whoever Wrote the following
hail read one page or the book of Human
Nature to some purpose; "There is, alter all,
something in those trifles that friends bestow
upon each other, which is an unfailing bad,
cation of the place the givers hold in the af
fections. I would believe that one who pre
served a lock of hair, a simple rose, or any
trifle of my bestowing, loved me, though no
Show was made of it, while all the protesta
tions in the world would not win my con
fidence in one who set no value art- such
little things. Trifles they may . be, but it is
by such that character and disposition are
oltenest revealed."
Trm little I have seen of the world, and
know of the history• of mankind, teaches me
to look upon the errors of others with sorrow
not in anger. When I take the history of one
poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and
represent to myself the struggles and tempta
tions it has passed through ; the brief pulsa
tion of joy ; the feverish inquietude of hope
and feu; the pressure of want; the desertion
of friends ; the scorn of the world ; threaten
