Dan Rice Campaign Song.
The supporters of Col, Dan Rice for the
Presidency do not mean to omit any appli
ance that is likely to accomplish their object.
They have alternately argued and threaten
ed, and last. but not least, the Muses have
now been appealed to. Iturrison, it is said,

bie once can be done again. We find in the,
1 , 1 , 1 N'cw Castle Champion, which files thO
Colonel's name at its m!st head, n piece of
rhyme detailing his claims upon the public
endorsement in a, manner at once so pathetic
and convincing that we cannot avoid making
liberal quotations from it. The writer, as a
true historian should, commences at his boy
hood, and thus appeals to the early recollec
tions of all "self-made" voters:
"I'll sin_ you a song of the famous Colonel
Dan,
Whose iiraise is heard from every lip through
out Mir hind.
A friendless boy he started, I'd have you all
know,
And he's now a wealthy citizen and runs the
greatest show."
lie then breaks out into a chorus which
?Milli the soul like a bugle blast: ~
-Come then, ye yeomen, aroumrhiistandard

The frikincl's first experience in the show
related, and the secret given of his
wonderful success:
"At Pittsitresh, Pennsylvania, some thirty
years ago,

We are delighted to see In late issues of the
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh papers, editortik,
articles calling the attention of the capitalisM
and business men of those cities to the im
portance of securing more intimate relations
with the North-Western section of the State, -
and especially . of fostering and identifying

It cannot be denied that there is a current
impression,'not only among the citizens of
Erie, but among those of the northern and
western tier of counties generally, that their
claims to State consideration have been cru
elly slighted by Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
and this has, to a certain extent, estranged
them from Pennsylvania interests, 'and driv
en them into sympathy with New York and
Eastern cities, that have been more prompt
to afford them co-operation than those upon
wheat they believed they had a stronger
claim. The records shOw that from a very
early date, this section has been treated by
the southern and eastern pottion.s of the State
ins spirit which led us to doubt whether
,they really regarded us us a part'of the same
community with themselves. When the
Commonwealth entered upon its extensive
system of Internal improvements, the votes
of our members helped to carry theme/12nm
They were given with the express tinder
standing that the canal would be constructed
to Erie, and as a &tills few hundred thousand
dollars were appropriated far the French
Creek leeder. This comparatively trifling
piece of work , was completed before. the
main line reached Pittithnr , h, and, to retain
the favor of our members for the latter, ope
rations on a small scale were commenced
upon the Erie Extension Canal., At last, af
ter a weary struggle, the main line reached
Pittsburgh, and about two millions of dol
lars had been spent upou the Eric extension.
when the business men of the "smoky city"
and their allies came to the sudden and ex
tra6rdintlry conclusion that Erie city was not
a point of any importance, and that their in
terest lay in the direction of Cleveland and
other places in Ohio! A hue and cry was
soon raised over the wasteful expenditure of
building a canal to Erie—the people of the
older counties were made to believe that it
was to pass through a bleak and uninhabita
ble wilderness--charges n were freely made
that "business enough could not be done to
pay the lock keepers"—and, in an unfortu
nate moment, the enterprise was abandoned.
The Citizens of the North-West, finding
themielves betrayed by those whom they had
trusted and befriended, resolved to complete
the canal themselves, and, after much diffl-
Csulty, a bill enabling them to do so was se
cured by our then Senator, Hon. Elijah Bab
bitt, after it bad been loaded down with nu
merous onerous provisions intended to defeat
its object. The final accomplishment of the
enterprise tivas due almost wholly' to the:en
ergy and liberality of the people of Erie and
the country which it traverses, and the , im
portance which the canal attained is a pre
eminent proof of their foresight and an ant 7
ple verifiestibn of their predictions. •
ZICI
Another Instance of the injustice with
which our section has been treated is found
in , .the conduct of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh relative to the building of. a railroad
along the southern shore ,of the* lake.. The
charter for this road was obtained previous
to the completion of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral, and soon after that road had reached
Pittsburgh the scheme was concocted of com
pelling all the Western trade to pass through
the State by that route. Accordingly, our
little charter was repealed, and the hopes of
Erie for the time crushed to earth. The in
genuity of Han. John Galbraith enabled him
to smuggle a bill through the Legislature al
inning a readlo he built from Erie to the
Ohio line, hat without a New York connec
tion it, would have been nearly valueless. An
application for a charter to secure the latter
purpose, in a direct way; would have been
ignominidusly rejected, and *is almost in
estimable result was only achieved after years ,
of toil and despair, by asking for the privilege
of building a line from Erie tO Elston(' quarry
ar North East, which happened to be in
convenient proximity, to the State, line!
Without this important thoroughfare, Erie
would have slumbered in obscurity for years,
scarcely known outside of the limited sec
tion by which she was surrounded, and
obliged to carry on all her intercourse with
the East by means of stages and lumber wag
ons. The well informed friend who furnish
es us these historical facts, pertinently adds :
"Contrast the treatment of Erie by Pennsyl
vania, with that of New' York to Buffalo,
and Ohio to Cleveland, and then say that we
have no reason to complain. 'The two latter
were pampered and fostered, while we, hav
ing better natural advantages than either,
have been kept down by the cool neglect and
hitter wrongs of our own State, that the sel
fish ends of other sections might be sub-
served."
We do not revert to these matters now for
the sake of complaint, but merely in the hope
that by recalling thent to the memories of our
sister cities they may be better enabled to per
ceive the errors of the past, and led to pursue
a more wise. generous and 'just policy in fu
ture. The citizens of Erie are disposed to
leave by-gongs be by-gones, if they can be
assured that their claims to State considera
tion will he respected hereafter. We feel
that our interests are linked with Pennsylva
nia, and that her's are to a considerable ex
tent identified with ours. To., Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh we reach out the right hand
of fellowship, and only ask that they shall
be one-half as zealotts_-to minister to their
own advantage as we are to co-operate with
them, to secure for all three a harmonious
blending of interests, which Will greatly pro
mote the prosperity of each, and enure to
the common advantage of the people of the
State.

Tau Pitfsborgh papers give an account Of
a bold confidence game perpetrated onSatnr
day, at the railroad depot in that city, upon
a man named Brown, who was on his way
'to Ede with his family, from Maryland:
"Shortly after noon a gentlemanly looking
man whose acquaintance he bad , made on
the train, approached the party, and after in
quiring about the health of the family, pro.
poised to Mr. Brown to take a walk and see
the city. The latter agreed, and the two
walked down to Irwin !greet.. According-to
Brown's statement, when they were near the
corner of this street and Spring alley, they
met a man who stopped Brown's 'companion
and told him that he . had "shipped those
goods, and wanted the money for them."
The amount reqUired, he said, was sixty dol
lars. The wan addressed pulled out of his
pocket a handful of what appeared to be ten
dollar gold p i eces, saying he had no money
but gold, and did not wish io spend that in
this numner: Then turning to Brown he re
quested him to lend him fifty dollars. The
latter replied that he had not that amount.
Ills companion insisted that ho surely had as
much money as that. To convince him to
the contrary Brown pulled out his pocket
hook and openipg it showed a twenty dollar
bill and a ten dollar bill, which be insisted
was all the money he had. His companion
caught hold of his hand and took the bills,
apparently to count them over. As soon as
he got theta in his hand he let go of Brown,
and with his colleague disappeared at s rap
id rate, up Spring alley, since which nothing
has been seen or heard of therm e Brown re
turned to the depot, and told his story. A
purse was made up for him - there, and the
family lett in the afternoon train for Erie,
where they have friends living."

[From tho Phila. Prem.]
Just now the Western section of our State
is considerably agitated over the proposition
to unite by a grand canal the waters of the
Ohio and Lake Erie. This pioject, which Is
not new, it is now proposed to carry to
completion. That this should be a - vital
question beyond the Alleghenies any one can
understand, but it can hardly be considered
a local one by any intelligent observer. The
country at large cannot fail to be deeply In
terested lu the three great commercial cities
of Pennsylvania---Philadelphht at the head
of Delaware Bay, Pittsburgh at the head of
the Ohio river, and Erie upon the great
lakes ; and the necessity and sound policy of
rendering their interests identical is obvious.
It does not require argument.
flow thorongbly this enterprise will tend
to consolidate and identify the interests of
the Western portion of the Commonwealth,
we can understand when we hear Erie
spoken of as an outlying ward of Pittsburgh.
And what is the' interest of one section
of the State is the interest of the whole.
The little rivalries and petty jealousies
that now and then Invariably come to the
surface in the demand for sectional candi
dates, and the occasional bickering's of aec
ond-rate papers, are the relics of a village
and provincial civilization. In the better
days coming we shall wonder at the patience
which tolerates them to-day. -

,of the country testimonials °are pouting in
like an avalanche , upon the _proprietors of
Mishler's Celebrated Herb Bitters. The de
mand Is really unpreeedented,--donble what
it, has ever been heretofore, and among the
cures it has made and Is now effecting, are
scores of cases which baffled the skill of the
best ph ysicians. 'Recourse-was had to Mish,
let's Herb Bitters as a last resort, and iu
many Instances it seemed like hoping against
all hope, but the sure and steady and ever
reliable powers -of Misbler's Herb Bitters
were soon discovered to be operating with
their usual pungency, and *leans - after vic
tim. to 'disease has been raised from sick
couches and restored again 4 to ,perfeet and
OCent health. This wonderful career of
.'s Herb Bitters.l4 only the beginning
of its, triumphs. For all diseases rising from
imptiritles of the blood, it is unquestionably
the most positive anti pleasant cure dis
covered. JIB dyspeptics ought to possess a
bottle of Mishler's Herb Bitters, and if every
one who may De afflicted with any of the
symptoms of dyapepala, or ascidity of the
stomach, or general debility, would itumedi
ate), take these Bitters, a very few days
would answer to core them up. For liver
complaints, scrofida, and similar trusessts,
these Bitters have never been known to fail
in efibcting a cure.' 7hese Bitters may be
taken as a tonic, and are very pleasant to the
taste and Invigorating to the system. - All re
spectable Druggists sell these Bitters, but be
sure you ask for Mishler's and do not take
any-other kind. Branch House, 20 Market
