FIFO CENTS FOR THERE MONTHS!
Press Forward the Column.
The . political campaign upon 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, for "as Pennsylvania goes, so goes
the Itnion.” '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 years. Thad
deus Stevens, the great Radical leader, says
Pennsylvania Is likely to go against the
Radicals this fall, 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 eon *in the victory if we use the right
ful exertion, and if Democrats are one-half
as earnest is the cause as they profess, they
will not allow despondency. and inaction
again to prevent the supremacy orour prin
ciples.
Determined to do our shaxe in the work,
we have concluded to furnish the - Observer
at the following low rate :
One copy, three. months - - $0.50
Five copies, ": " - - 2.50
Ten copies, " - - 5.00
Twentv coPies," " - - 9.00
These prices harely 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 further to promote the cause which lies
AO near to the , hearts of all true Democrats.
Stamcrihos can commence commence ang time prethotA to
the election, and may rely upon having the
paper promptly discontinued at the expiry
thm of the period for which theylave 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
go, to work at once to help on the move
ment. The emergencies of the crisis de

A traveler through a (lush: - road,
Strewed acorns o'er the - lea,
And_one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into adree ;
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe its Carly vows, •
And age was plenia4, in heats of nodn,
To bask beneath its boughs;
The donnonse loved Its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore,
It stood a glory in its place,
A. blessing evermore!
A Milo spring had lost its way - _
Among the grass and fern ;
A passing stranger scooped a well, -
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in, and hung with care,
A Wile at the brink—
lie thought not of the deeds he did,
But judged that toil might drink.
Ile passed again—and In. the well,
' HT summers, never dried,
lied cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
And saved a life beside.
A dreamer dmppeda random thought ;
"fives old, and yet 'twas new—
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong m being true. .
It-shone upon a genial mind,-
And lo! its light became
A lamp of life, a beacon ray,
A monitory flame.
The thought was small—its issue great ;

And clmers the valley !

enisiohlen them to renewed opposition to the

The services of Gen. Thomas in battling for

He has repeatedly entered his protest against

Gen. Hancock ought not to be removed

EXECUTIVE
Wasiiwrrox. I). C., Aug. V),1667. i
GENERAL—I have received your commit
ideation of the 17th inst., and thank you for
the promptness with which you have submit- I
teil your views respecting,the asslgements
directed in my order of tha j
date. When I
stated. in my unofficial note of the 17th, that
I would be pleased to hear marsuggestiona
you might deem necessary upon the subject,
it 1 , 1 : a4 not iffy. intention., to_ ask from you 'a
formal report, but rather to invite a verbal
statement of any reasons affecting the'publie
interests which, in your opinion, would rut
der the order inexpedient. Inasmuch, how
ever, as you have embodied your suggestions
in a written communication, it is'proper that
I should make some reply. "
' You earnestly urge that the order be not
insisted on, remarking that "it is unmistak
ably the expressed wish of the country that
Gen. Sheridan should not be removed from
his present command:" While I am copn, t
aunt of-the efforts that have been made to re
tain Gen. Sheridan in command of the Fifth
Military District, I am not aware that the
question lets ever been submitted to the peo
ple themselves for detennination. It certain
ly would be unjust to the army to assume,
that, in the opinion of the nation, he alone is
capable' of commanding the States of Louisi
ana and Texas, and that, were he the any
cause removed, no other general in the mill,
tary service of the knifed States would be
competent to fill his place. Gen. Thomas,
whom I have designated for Lis successor, is
well known to the country. - Having won
high and honorable distinction in the field,
he has since; iwthe - eseentiorrnt the respon
sible duties of a department commander, ea
hibited "great ability, sound discretion and
sterling patriotism. He 'pig dot failed, under,
the moot-trying eircumstances, to enforce-the
laws, to preterre peace and order, to encone
age the restoration of civil authority and, to
promote, as far as possible, a spirit of recon
ciliation. His adteinistration of the Depart
ment of the Oamberland will . ceitalnly cum
parerupst favorably with thatorGen. Sheri-.
dartin - the Plink Anitfdrf Dlitrict There at
fairs - appear to be in a disturbed condition.
and tv bitter spirit of antagonised tieemy to-
have're".4ulted front Gen. Sheridan's manage
ment. Ite,haa renderad hintself,exeeedurgly
obnoximii. by 'the manner, in which .be .bas
eierdsekeven thepowera`c;onferredAycoe- ,
.1 greg;insd atilt nuire so, by a resort lo slack
ity not granted by law nor necessary to its .
faithful and efficient execntioe. Ms rule has,
in fact, been - orieTireliOliti tyranny without
refereacatwthe principles of onegovernitent
or the, nature of our free institutions. The
state of .affairs which has resulted ;front-the,
course he tins pursued has sericiedy inter
fered with a harnionlons, aatisfiictory and
. speedyexecutiois of the acts of Congress, and
is alone sufficient to justify a change.. His
removal, therefore, cannot " be . regarded as
an effort • to defeat the laws of Congress ;"
fur the object is to facilitate their execution,
through an officer who has never failed to
obey the statutes of the land, and to exact,
within his jurisdiction, a like obedience from
others. It cannot " ire interpreted by the un
reconstrueted element in the South—those
who did all they conld to' break up this Gov
ernment by arms, and now wish to be the
only element consulted as to the method of
restoring order—as a triumph ;" fur, US intel
ligent men, they must know that the mere
change of military commanders cannot alter
the law, and that Gen. Thomas will be as
numb bound by itsrequiremeu te as Gen. Sher
idan. It cannot "embolden them to renewed
opposition to the will of the loyal masses, be
that they have the 'Executive with
them ;" for they are perfectly familiar with the
antecedents of the President, and know that
he has .not obstructed the faithful execution
of any act of Congress.
No-One, as'you are aware, has a higher ap
preciation than myself of the services of Gen.
Thomas, and no one would be less Inclined
to assign him to a (multiunit not entirely to
his wishes. Knowing hint as I do, I cannot
think he will hesitate fora moment to obey
any order having in view a complete and
speedy restoration of the Uniuu, In the pres
ervation of which he has rendered such im
portant and valuable services.
Gen. Hancock, known to the whole coun
try as a gallant, able and patriotic soldier,
will, I have no doubt, sustain his high repu
tation in any position to which he maybe as
signed. • If, ns you observe, the department
which he will leave is a complicated one, I
feel confident that, under the guidance and
instructions of Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan
will soon become familiar with its necessities,
and will avail himself of the opportunity nit
forded by the Indian tumbles for the display
of the energy, enterprise and daring which
gave hint so enviable a reputation during our
civil struggle.
In assuming that it is-the expressed wish
of the people Gen. Sheridan should not
be removed from his present command, you
remark that this is a republic where the will
of the people is the law of' the land, and beg
that their voice may be heard. This is indeed
a republic—based, however, upon a written
Constitution.. That Constitution is the com
bined arid expressed will of the people, And
their voice is law when reflected in the man
ner which that instrument prescribes. While
one of 'ita provisions makes the President
Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy,
-another requires that he shall take care that
the laws be faithfullii executed. Believing
that a change in the command of the Fifth
Military District is absolutely necessary-fora
faithful execution.of the laws, I have issued
the order which is the subject of this cones
pondence, and in • thus exercising a power
that inheres In the Executive under the Con
stitution,-as Commander-jn-Chief of the mili
tary and naval forces, I am discharging a du
ty required.of ins by the will of the nation,
as formally declared in the supreme law of
the land. By his oath the Executive is sol
emnly bound, " to the best of his ability, to
preserve, protect and defend the Constitu
tion," and although in timcsi of great excite
ment it may be lost to public view, it is his
duty, without regard to consequences intim
self, to hold sacred, and to enforce any and
alt of its.provisions. Any other course would
lead to the destruction of the republic; for,
the Constitutien once abolished, there would
be no Congress for the exercise of legislative
powers, no Executive to see that the laws are
faithfully executed, no Judiciary to afford to
the citizens protection of life, limb and pro
perty. Usurpation would inevitably follow,
and a despotism fixed upon the people, in vi
olation of their combined and expressed will.
In conclusion, I fail to perceive any military,
pecuniary or patriotic-reasons why this order
should not be carried into effect. You will
remember that, in the first instance, I did not
consider Gen. Sheridan the most suitable offi
cer for the command of the Fifth Military
District. Time has strengthen - Jai my convic
tions upon this point, acid hasled me to tltb
conclusion that patriotic considerations de
mand that he should be supercedill by an of
ficer who, while he will faithfully execute the
law, will at the same time give more *ever al
satisfaction to the whole people, white and
black, North and south. I am, General,
very wspectfully yours. .

speeds at Lima, Athens county, Ohio, sums
up the inconsistencies of the flatlicalsin thli
scathing and unanswerable manner:
- In 1820 they opposed the establishment of
the Missouri compromise line. In 1854 they
opposed its abrogation. In 1850 they opposed
its re-enactment. '
In 1846 they refused the use of State jails
and State magistrates to execute the fugitive
slave law, on the ground that the retnrn of
fugitives was the duty of the Federal Gov
enament. In 1830 they refused. to vote a more
stringent Federal law, on the ground that the
return of ht; fives was the duty of the State
governments.- In 1866 they passed personal
liberty, bills, on the.ground that the State
should not assist the Federal Government;
and in 1861 they repealed all laws on the
subject, on the ground that neither State not
Federal Governments should execute the
Constitution.
In 1858 they had possession' of" the State
go'vernments ; they magnified States' rights,
adopted rho - resolntions of '9B and '69 At their
conventions, exalted the idea of confedera
tion, as agaitist unity, and prepared to array
the States in armed conflict with 'the Federal
authority. In 1862 they had• possession of
the Federal Government, they denounced
States' rights, called the Kentucky resolu
tions treason, and have, as far as in their
powerAy mere brute force, as well as legis
lation, reduced and degraded the State. gov
ernments.
In 1856 they declared that "no war could
be right, and no peace couldbe wrong:" that
Waite South desired to change their political
relations and forin of government, their rights
could not be denied. In 18132 they declared
that the trinity of our salvation was " taxa
tion, emancipation and war."
In 1854 - they declared that the interests of
the emmtryrequi red the restriction of suffrage,
and that the Germans, and Irish, and English,
and French,ought tO be disfranchised- 1t 11867

.1111859 Mr. Chase, then the Governor of
Ohio, asserted : "We have rights which the
Federal Government must not invade; rights
superior tojts power, and on which our sov
ereignty depends; and we mean to assert these
rights against all tyrannical assumption of
authority." In 1867, Gen. Hayes, who aspires
to be Governor of Ohio, asserts that the States
have no sovereignty whatever. • .•
In 1864 they asserted that the President
had the,power, by proclamation, to emanci
pate four millions of slaves. In 1867 they
deny that he has power to remove a member
of his Cabinet.
In 1882 party purposes required them to
consider the Union unbroken. In Louisiana
the Federal Government had possession of
New Orleans alone. They admitted Halm
and Flanders to theirseats as Representatives
from that State. In ISM it had possession of
every foOt of the State; OMR, same men pre
sentthemselves as Senators. and they are re•
jetted because the State of Louisiana ceased
to esist
In 1803 they desired to create West Vir
ginia—they must have the consent of the old
State—they elect Governor Pierpont and a
Legislature, and take their law as the solemn
act of the State of Virginia assenting to its
own dismemberment. In 1866 they set up a
military government over Pierpont and
his Legislature, on the ground that prior
to his election secession had destroyed the
State.
Tn 1861, and 2302, and 1883, and 1884, and
188.5, and 1888, during the war and after the
war, they admitted Representatives from
Kentucky, and now they reject them until u
committee can inquire whether Kentucky has
a republican government. _
In 1863 they estiddished military commis
sions iu Ohio for the trial-of citizens, and by
their judgment sent them to death or exile.

In 1801 they *wetted to the patriotisiat, of

They have been true to their passions: true
to their desires ; true to their partisan inter
ests: hat never: true to the Constitution.
They go not understand what it is to "stand
by the Constitution." They proclaim loudly
that the Constitution does not exist either in
theory or practice in ten States of the Union;
and their nose trusted and able lesder,in the
fullness of his contempt for that instrument,_
and-for the few Republicans who are willing
to obey it, declares in his own choice lan

Tux REVELATION OF PILOPHEEY.L-In

The National Intelligencer pats in the
mouth of the fallen Secretary of War the
words of Woolsey. As he surrenders his
portfolio to General Grant, we imagine Stan
ton saying:
Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness ;
This is the state of man: to-day ho puts forth
The tender leaNes of hope; to-morrow blos
rOnts,
And bears hts blushing honors thick upon

The third day comes a frost, a killing frost;
And—When ho thinks, good easy man, full
surely
His greatness is a ripening—nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do."

what the result may be. I fear the worst,
