Any one who will take the ttuuble to in vestigate the appropril:tions made at the late session of Congress wip discover that a large portion of - the amounts is for deficiencies in former appropriation•= for the laat fiscal year. The amialat voted at the first session of the Fortieth Congress was fabulously- large,-but there is an enormous deficiency in almost every department which hid to be provided for. Take, for iastanee, the *(aithera Mili tary Districts. The ltadicals appropriated last vt , ar what they claimed Would he suffi cient to not their roool,:truetion rirogranuue, but during this session they have made two or• three approprimio,, • to co , , cc th.fleiencie:.

Our readers should bear in mind that all tit* items under the head of deficiency are for expenses incurred during the last fiscal year, and arc in addition to the enormous expenses heretofore given for that year.

TILE RESULT IN KENTUCKY, I'tt wonderful increase in the Democratic Nuts in K entuc k y cosscs more significance than the Radicals.laie willing to admit, and may be taken as an index of the revolution M I political sentiment v,hich is going on iu every part of- the country. Wherever elec tions are held this year the same astonishing gains ate witncs;ol..and ne cannot he inis• taken in the opinion !kit tlwy are merely the presage of those that are to follow. The same causes which have produced these re sults in New I lamp , itire, Connecticut, Ore gon and Kentucky, will operate still more extensively in the States where elections are yet to be held. t, The State elections for a Presidential yearalways indicate the result of the Presidential canvass. They are doing so this year. The first election was a Radi cal defeat, and every election since has been as bad or worse for that party. Well may the World exclaim "what a fraud is Radical reconstruction" in the light or the returns from Eenttieky. "Here is a Stale free, orderly, independent, prosperous. And Why? Because She k governed by her iiwn eitiiens. Across the hoiden , : is a State - us large, as wealthy, and altnost` as populous —Tennessee. Rent by war, governed ; by a degraded, brutal race; who arc led Ly tate whites, her substance Ls eaten up by her own Soldiery. Race is : pitted' against race. Neighbor is armed against neighbor. The Slate is a hot-bed of violence. Her industry is .extinguished. Ihzr credit is Worthless. Her culture and xii'tue are disfranchised. There are no inducements for white men to live there. Capital is repelled. A minority governs, and in the nineteeenth century a Governor calmly proposes to exterminate the oppisition by force of arms. In Kentucky how different! A State army is unknown. Wealth multiplies. Labor thrives. The races stand in the relations in which God has created them.. Each 1311cgally equal. No unnatural political and social equality Li en forced. The governmcnOs based on the con sent of the people, whweheerfully contribute to its support. Kentucky honors statesmen such as Stevenson, Bramlette, Guthrie, and Wickliffe. Tennessee breeds such dirty dogs as Brownlow, Stokes, Mullens, and the like —who arc the reproach of their spe(Aes and of the civilization of the period. Kentucky is a Coustitutionah State. Tennessee is a Congressional State. That is just the differ ence, and the cause of the difference." TIRE FEDERAL DEBT The N. Y. Herald Misled us into stating last week, that the debt bad increased fifty-three millions during the month of July—the fig ures are just forty millions too large, and should have been thirteen millions, three hundred thousand, which, we do not doubt, Is abundantly large - satisfy the l most in quisitive tax-payer. - On the Ist of July the debt, less cash in the treasury, was $2,510,z 245,886; on the Ist of August it was $2,523,534,- 480, of which $410,302,801 bears no Interest. The increase was caused by the issue of $32,-' 210,000 of six per cent. bonds to the Pacific R. R. Cos., without which therewould have been a considerable reduction. The Radical financiers alwass have sonic plausible pre text to furnish the people for their tiansac. tien-;, and the hearo; increase of the debt is 110‘1" attempted to be softened down by the plea that the railroinis will redeem the bonds sonic day, and that, therefore, they will form no additional burden to the tax-payers of the nation. No one who knom the history' of public loans to .private eompanit s, need be tom that this is all gammon. The corpora tions will see a way in due time to eel rid of paying back their loan, and the dear people, a usual, will lie plucked for the principal and intere,t. The highest point of the public debt teas on the 3lst of August, ISets, when it amoun ted to $2,757,G;39,:i71 18.

You stir it with a spoon, squint one eye; gulph it down, and put the spoon in your pocket. THE 41,1 1 ESTION OF THE DAY. The Radical leaders may wake up ere long to the conviction that the stale epithets with which they seek to droWn Democratic argu ments do not keep the people from noticing the startling firt that in three years of pCace the Radical party has wrung fifteen hundred millions of money in taxes from the pockets of the people, and has borrowed eight hundred millions inore. That party may he "loll" till it is sick frorri.excess of "lenity ;" but' Thai no return for tbe money. "What have you done with our money ?" That is theTteople's question. Why are the expenses of filo Army and the Navy for the year.lB67, W 3,522,585, or mitre money than was required to carry on the Mexican war? Why does it cosh in ex act figures, $44.413,151 more to support the army and navy ; in the year of peace 1867 than it did in the year of peace 1866? Such lanes-, thins cannot be answered by c Ming Denis erats or their candidates "copperheads" or "traitors ;" they are questions of figuiles, not filth. Throwing the dust of dead issues into the eyes of the people fails to blind them to tho ha that eleven millions more were ad ded to the public debt in the month of June. " What has Radicalism done with the pen ' plc's money? Ring this question in Radi cal ears front now till November. It' means something. The campaign* is a question of dollars, mot "vipers ;" of hard money, not hard words: _The attack on Fort Sumter has passed into the history of the year 1861; the people want to know about a n ti. Radical attacks on the public treasury and the people's pockets to-day. "What has Radicalism done with the people's money ?" That is the question ;. that is the issue; and next Ntivember the people will decide whether they can afford four years more of Radical corruption and extravagance. Guy. CURTIN ENDORSES SEYMOUR. One of our exchanges gives a report of a conversation between Gov. Curtin and a per sonal and political friend of his, which recent ly.occurred in the Union League club llouse in Philadelphia. The inquiry was made; "Well, 'Goverrlor, what is your 'Opinion of the Democratic Convention ?:' "I think,' said the Governor, "that a stronger ticket might have been selected, such as Hendricks and Hancock, for example." "But," cautio ned the questioner, "what is your opinion -of Governor Seymour ?" Mr. Curtin replied: "Well sir, if I were asked to mention a' man who, in my estimation, possessed the attrib utes of a perfect gentleman, a cultivated scholar, a thorough statesman and a sincere Christian, I could, without hesitation, name Horatio Seymour, of New York." "How about Seymour's loyalty ?" ; "Alter the dis patches that I sent Seymour at the time of the rebel raid into Pennsylvania," replied the Governor, "it would hardly become me to impugn his loyalty; the filet' is,l have never doubted it. I understand that Belmont is having all the dispatches sent by Stanton and myself printed, and I have no doubt they will be in the hands of every Democratic stump speakei through the campaign. We had bet ter give up attacking Seymour's loyalty, for the opposition hold the trump card in that matter." LINCOLN'S CABINET. The fact is no less noticeable than augges live, that but one member of Lincoln's origi nal Cabinet is now acting with the Republi can party, and that one is the notorious cor-. ruptionist, Simon Cameron, of Pa. William 11. Seward, Secretary of State, has long been pronounced unsound by the Republicans; Mr. Chief Justice Chase, Secretary of the Treas ury, has been read out of the Radical party, Ind is now with the Democracy; 31ontgom. t.ry Blair, Post Master General, has ceased to be a RePublican, and now supports the Dem ocratic ticket; Edward Bates, Sttomey Gene ral, is now a ConServative ; and Secretary Welles, of the Navy, has followed the for tune, of Mr. Johnson, who is'now more (AC crated by the Radicals than any other man, in the United States. The best men—tfle very braizN—of the Radical party have left ax.d it is now being run entirely by such men as John A. Logan, Ben. Butler, WaSh burnc & Co. That they have so managed it as to disgust hundreds of theasands of Radi cal, i, a Let that e; ca )body knows. MR:Republican Governorpf A/absow has vetoed the bill to take , the election of Pre*i diloid electors-out of the hands of the rico ph•, I:sd, his n.rtion ii• iustUined by the hou oroble portion of has party in the.

In discussing the bill the Governor says: "It cannot be hut regarded as remarkable that the first Republican Legislature con vened in Alabama shall, iu the face of the principles of its organization, which every Republe.,an professes to hold dear, deny not only to the colored, but the white man, the tight, by his vote, to indicate his choice for. Pre.ident and Vice-President of the United States, and take the matter in. its own bands, What exem,t , can there he ror it? it mere party expediency? If so, then it is an aban donment of principles, or an ackdowledg mem that the material out of Achieb - the Re publican party iscomposed cannot be trusted. In other words tt is to say that the colored men will not tki to be trusted." TAXATION OP BONDS The people are rapidly awakening io the knowledge that upwards of two blithe:and millions of dollars of property in LT. S. Bonds are tmtaxed, the interest upon which is paid in gold out of taxes upon other property and the industry of the people. At least five hun dred millions of this property is held by British and other foreign capitalists. The Demo cratic platform proposes to tax, these bonds /LS other property is taxed: Is not this right ? Is it not - fair? Nay, is it not necessary in or der to assist in the payment of the public debt? .The Radical party exempt the. British bondholder, and make the farmer, the mer chant, the meelmnic and the laborer pay, taxes out of whirl the is Paid his interest in gal. ' Let every man, Detumirat and RiTublfteau, vow that he will vote for no candidaV: - 4vtio will not pledge himielf in favor of i taxing the bonds and paying off the the public debt as speedily as practicable, in the-inwfur currency of the country. THE MEANEST OF ALL. , Sufficient publicity has not been given to the bill passed by the House of Represents. lives, near - the close of the Congressional ses sion, punishing with fine and impris snment any person Nrlio offers to vote or set as au Election officer at the coming Presidential election in Mississippi, Virginia. or Texas. These, three States are thought to have a Democratic majority, and the object of the bill is to prevent theta from Laving a voice in the selection of the next Chief Mag istrateof the Union, though that right con ceded to all the States where the negro vote preponderates. It was passed by a strict party vote of 112 to 23—among the yeas be ing our immaculate Scofield. Can a baser Piece of partizan trickery and malice be imagined? Bad as it is, the impression prevails' that it will pass the Senate at the September session. THE ELECTOILAL• VOTE SWINDLE. The new revolutionary Radical plan to Dave the Carpet-Bag Southern Legislatures cast the Electoral vote for President it 'as met with a serious obstnretion, not only in the Fourteenth Amendment, which provkl es that where a State 'prohibits any class of itt citi zens from voting for FeJeral or State c flees, its representation in Congress shall be I United in proportion, but'in the reconstruction i Con stitutions themselves. Forinstance, the South Carolina document, cared a Coast' tution, says in Section 9, of Article Eight : "Presidential electors shall be elect, 11 by the people." Other Constitutions in the 'South c the =DC provision. PERTINENT EIRIIIIRIES. Now that Congress has "admitted" the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor cia; Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina, we have a few questions to ask : 1. 14 the Army to be withdrawn? g 2. Is the Freedmen's Bureatl to be discon tinued? 3. Is it , safe Cnr Nortbrri . trove • 4. Will investment pay To rill of which we can only answer, The f umy 4.011 ricit h hcr withdraw,, beeatise these rotten governments: begotten of the bayonet, would fade into nothingness were the bayonet but once taken away. -The Bu reau will not be discontinued, because .the negroes, into whose hands these States have been committed, need that institution in or dtittl44 fef intilict. their, CM /1 4kfor them, and teach nein" thtir Ls not safe for Northern men to move there, because the great majority of Northern yoti.n3 are disfranehiqsl there, and, even if they were not, there is tlev;ver'present danger of ft A , * of rae.i l s. Investment will not pay because earpet-bag government bankrupts - States. We have spent hundreds of millions to "re construct" these Biates,qad whet:the finished, find it absolutely worthless. IN March, 1866, gold was selling at 124. Af ter more than two years of peace it is now Selling at 147, or about twenty-three per cent. Itigher. Thus Radical ruleits, in two years, -reduced the valite of the greenbacks, the cur rency which the soldier is paid his pension iu and the laboring man receives fol. his pay, from eighty cents on the dollar qntil it is now only worth sixty-eight cents on the 'dollar. [COMMUNICATED.) Republican ConsistenY. EDITOR OnSERVEIL—As a person who has been quietly watching the course of the Re publican party in Erie county for some time, I beg to be allowed to allude to a few facts which have been so prominent in the affairs of that party as to lead one to conclude that there is no sincerity or honesty in it. I refer particularly to its conduct towards Scofield and LoWry. The latter gentleman has been repeatedly taboixl by almost• every leading Republican in the county for u series ofyears in regular succession, at all times except when the final struggle came. Then their names were at hia service, and his beck and call their law. It will be remembered that previous to the last canvass, in which that gentleman proved the victor, and in which Crawford county was concerned, um Republicans of Erie de clared emphatically, "We will no longer be represented by this man, who is a disgrace to the State, the party, the county and the Leg islature." It might have been supposed that if this feeling was genuine, some effort would have been made to defeat him. But not a man in The party, except the then editor of the Dispatch, consulted with the Republi cans of Crawford county or Visited Ahern for -the purpoife of organizing a defeat the field was open,, and Crawford awaited Erie for the guiding move. But none was made. Con claves of from five to twenty Republicans were held, at which it wag declared Lowry should not be the choice of Erie county, and that Crawford being willing "-tostbide the de cision of Erie, would do nothing less than repudiate him, particularly that the Republi cans or that-county ware :v?illirtg, arid anxious to do so. Bet what was the result? While Lowry was in Crawford county, shedding tears over the grave of John Brown's wife, planning new county fe'r the Titusville people, and displaying the wonders of a gunboat canal, the Itelinblicans of Erie, who bad pledged themselves 'to defeat him, who had _declared their shame and humiliation from being rep resented by him, stayed at home, and let him plow the field, and sow the crop and reap it I will leave it to any earnest, zealous man, if this &cies not look as though - the Republi cans of Erie were "weak-kneed, bow-backed, and sunken-eyed"—if It . does 'not look as though they had no strenzth but Lowry's, no force of character beyond that furnishFd by whippers-hi employed by-him to manipu late the party. The canvass this fall is but a repetition of that just alluded to. While it was intimated a few months ago that he should not have a voice in the management, or a share in the spoils, it will be observed that he is lord of the field., The Dispatch, Gazette and Repub lican-dare not oppress or oppose him, for by so doing they would oppo.c the party—i. e., spoil the programme which has been fixed upon to carry out the campaign. In abort, These Tapers, n 5 well as certain leaders of the party; seem waiting for an opportunity to toady' to him. Certain astute Republicans, who arc not willing to acknowledge themselves Mr. Lo w slaves, will say that he has nothing to do with this campaign—thy it is iu the limits of Mr. Scofield's friends—that Scofield and Lowry are personally itt_ enmity, and that therefore what is intended for flue benefit of one cannot benefit the other. Do not, dear Republican, allow any such shallow notion to take root in your head. How much can . or dare Mr. Lowry or Mr. Scofield do, one against the other, v, hick will not create trou ble in the ranks and injure the author of the trouble. Both are too wise for this. Both nntlershind theniselyes . better. Both must work together. So that, however much the canvass may 'look like a -Scofield arrange ment, it does not destroy Mr. Lowry's hold upon the party or his influence with the Re publicans of Erie county. Sustaining Mr. Scofield as the Republicans have done, is about on a par with their con sistency with themselves in their treatment of Mr. Lowry. "„Scofield must not be re elected, shall not be re-elected, can not be re-eleoted," was the cry a few months ago. "Let us . do justice to ourselves and our coun ty by sending an Erie county man; no other am have our support!" continued the valiant men of honor and consistency who fear noth ing but political gods: Whereupon, out they come, one, two, three, four of them for the position they don't want Scofield to hare. The Deacon says the field is his—he is fairly en titled to it from long possession, and he will not be driven or scared from the track. But by the time the split is- extensive enough to ashait Scofield with,a.rair show of ruccessr the ex-prcachbr leaves' the track. Walker withdraws, as he has a habit of doing, and Cutler don't seem to be supplied with the back bone to fight it out. Insfead of stand ing by King, and vindicating their honor and, promises, it is all Scofield's, as any ninny knew ft would be as soon as the carididateS became so thick as to defeat themselves. Was there no Republican paper to advo : 1 cate the right of Erie county, or are they all muzzled by this detestable power, vested in a few who run party and people, and in five i , - cases out of six do everything dishonest mi l< der pretext of defeating dishonesty ? Thtse are some of my reasons for agreeing 4 - Me the eminent senator, that too many member's of the Republican party in Erie county arc "weak-kneed, bow-backed and sunken-eyed." ANON.

CORRY, Aug.1001:1869 EDITOR 0138ERYKR :—Dcar Sir your paper now has ala rger circulation in this city than that of all other newspapers com bined, I presume an occasional jotting of our local news will not be objectionable to your numerous readers. Cony still continues to' grow, and is bound to do-so. Her merchants, artizans, manufacturing men, and people generally are noted for industry and enter prise, and all thrive except the lazy man who finds this th o wrong pew for him, and leaves us after a taw days Uhl Oni mann fitetnring ea tabliamente are all doing a thriv ing business, I%ihile the merchant finds steady and promising; increase of trade.' some future time I will, make an extended, notice of our principal mercantile and manu facturing establishments. w , , • During the week past e had" a visit and speech at the Academy of Music from the Hon. Gleuhi AV. Scofield, mentioned some-. times as the modem Demosthenes. There was fair turn ont of the Inio"ple, say about cld/hlrati , Fut. a man who has occupied the position of Rep resentative and,cjijoyed,,, the chances for ar gin6nntlii9,aulptre ocyd.fyears' experience in the National house of Representatives, the Hon. Scofield, jutigingsfrOm Ins speech on this occasion, is a most lamentable failure as a statesman; and we must confess our sur 'prise that n party numbering many thou Sand intelligent workers, in the 10th district, could PoksibiV. thtnli of prcisenitial 1V man for I Congress: when they have - se) much better utlier. Mr. Scotch' entirely failed to en lighten his hearers upon any of the great is sues which now agitate the whole country. The tenor of hid !Teeth was that of a con vict, purely on the thlensiye, in order the better to cover, np the .errorz of his party in Congress for the past year, with an occa -404 atte)iptat wit, • Here i 1 prig Jar them : • A little boy, the other day; said to his pater nal sire, " wlig, Pa, I ace a tannery way off yonder." "Well, my son, what of it?" " , Why, I think it is full of Grant men!" This brilliant effort was entirely too much for Esq. Wilson and the balance pf the Union League, inclading some of n?enagers of Post No. 70 of the b. A. R., who, as if by spontaneous combu f stion, gave thepeaker three hearty cheers, it being considerel as a squelcher on the Cops, and ,will doubtless annihilate the whole Deinoratie party. Viva la Scofield! As his spa - eh here made five Democratic voters, I would suggest to the Democratic. Execittive . Committee the propriety .of immediately - engaging this promising bpd of eloquence, satire anti wit, to makd a speech in every school district in' the county, as it would make a clean Demo cratic gain of 1,000. In the meantime, Mr. Scofield has a little unsettled account to set tle with the Soldiers of this county, of which I will speak more fully on sonic future occa sion. ' Logal news at this point is ,quite dull for 'the . week past, with the exception of an occa sional row in a first class whiskey mill not far from the passenger depot ; but these are so frequent that it would 'not be considered an itenkof sows. ' The result of the last one, we learn, was that '25 men, headed by the Mars of the establishment, whipped one man. It is rumored that upon the return of Mr. Downer from Europe, the Downer Oil Works will resume business on a more extensive scale than ever before. The Corry Machine Company are so pressed with orders for Mowing Machines that they are 'compelled to refuse all custom work. There is a splen did opportunity offered here to any man who is familiar with the Foundry and Machine business, and has from $1,500 to $2,509 to invest in the same. For further particulars, parties Wishing to invest can address your correspondent.. - - OCCASIONAL. Letter from North'East. NOUTU EAST, PA., August 12,156$ Thlitor CAserrer follower-.t. and ssl tuirera of the man without "a poliey," , and who said he 4 'would deem it a great misfor: tune not only to. himself but to the country should he be nominated and elected 'Presi , dent," assembled a few weeks since in Union Hall, in this place, and formed what they call 'a "Grant Club." The novelty of the thing hrpught together quite a number of the admirers of Hiram U. Grant at the first meet ing, but there being no enthusiasm manifes ted at the birth of the "Club," its succeeding meetings,have been lamentable failures. - Two weeks ago, last Saturday, the second meeting of thenforesaid"Club" was called, and, notnithstanding the fact that 31 B. Lowry, of your city, was announced with fkoning pOsters as the orator of the evening, very few could be brought togethdr. For some unaccountable reason, Mr. Lowry failed to make his appearance—perhaps he thought it would be "love's labor lost" to come this. far for so little. The President of the Club deemed it necessary to make a few remarks, and endeavored to impress upon the small number present the, fact that there was work "to be did," if they expected to succeed, and invited all present to come forward and pay into the - treasury the sum of fifty cents initia tion fee, to defray incidental expenses. It this unexpected announcement by the President, quite a stampede was made for the hall stairs, After order was restored, the remaining few listened to some rambling and desultory re marks from a young "limb of the law," who expatiatei upon the superior virtues and in telligence of the my, , c,! race, and their exceed ing great fitne.s to make laws forthe govern ' meat of white men. Suffice it to say, that his extreme laudation of the ni'gro disgusted the small proportion of Hiram's supporters who remained in the hall. - On Saturday. cycuing .last, Aug. t;, their regular semi-monthly meeting was held again. The North Ea , :t Band was called into reipti sition to 1n leg "the faithful" together, and af ter considerable druthming throe fTh the prin cipal streets, they were succes, , ful in congre gating jive men and t+-0 small boys! The hall was brilliantly lighted early in the evenipg for the reception of the ra:q multitude they expected to pill together, bait was like "Calling spiritg from the vasty deep." They would not come. Like the preceding tine, the meeting proved, as a German friend termed it , . "one Gran—t fizzle !" and very soon after the hour for assembling, HAI af ter light went out, leaving but one dusky' lamp burning, the dim light of which seemed emblematic of the last. flickering rays of Rad icalism in our beloved country: Whether they will attempt to Iq>lo' another meeting of the "Club," remains to be seen. Some of the knowing ones among them' assert that it is useless to hold any more meetings - unless they can prpcure the services of some "big gun" in the Radical party to address them, whose presence will inspire confidence and infuse a little life into their "lost cause." To this end there is some talk of sending for Andy—not Johnson—G. Curtin. When 'he comes, may we be there to see. More anon. Yours, Another Letter from P.M. Hilts. NonTu Misr, PA., Aug. Bth, 1868 Editor Ob.qerrer.--The sagacious editor of the Eric Republican, who uses very chaste and elegant language to', express his ideas, does not seem to be-pleased with my reply to the "Republican National Committee" at Washington, in nastier to their application, to me "for aiiimmediate contributiortof $:25," to help save the sinking fortunes of Hi ram U. Grant and the Radical party. 'lle endeavors to make his too credulous readers believe that the circular I received from the Washington Committee is a "hair," and as he is further pleased to term it, "a scheme of some lazy individual at Washington who thinks it easier to fleece country postmasters out of their money than to earn ap honest living by working for it." In thus oudeavor ing to be smart at myexpense, he overshoots his mark, and dgals his Washington friend, the Secretary of the Republican National Com mittee, a terrible blow betw6en his "peepers," for I am inclined to think the "lazy individ ual" (Mr. Thomas L. Tullock, Secretary afore 7 said), is quite busy abotit these times receiv ing and reading letters, riot only from Demo cratic but Conservative postmasters all-over the country, politely refußing -to grant his modest request. The "stupendous" portion of my letter "the fellow at Washington," (as the editorof the Republican is also pleased to term his friend, the'Seeretary of the National Republi can Committee,) t was simply a quotation from Chief Justice Chase, which does not set well on the stomach of the aforesaid editor and g itho bottle who %ha with him; and fux• RAT, he and they are Welcome to all the con solation their perturbed spirits can &five from' the foolish idea that the circular i.; "a' hoax" or the "scheme of some lazy individual at Wtisbington."

After the usual business of the evening, addresses were delivered by Esq. Caslin, of Ohio, and Rev. W. B. Lloyd, of this place. One gentleman, before the closed, asked perniission to make a few remarks, which request was granted. Said he, "I have always been a Republican, was brought up a Whig, and have never vo ted otherwise in my life; but now; seeing how affairs are moving, I am at this time a true Democrat, and from the bottom of my heart am in sympathy will; their principles." COMMITT En. OlisEUvEn:—The Democrats of War ren are pleased to see the kindly feeling with which Erie county has received the sugges tion of Judge Brown as a _candidate for Con gress. We believe that he is one of the ablest men of the district, and his amiable personal traits, combined with his conservative dispo sitibn, redder him, in .our opinion, the most available. here he will receive Many Re publican votes, and the Democrats entlnisi astieally summit him. He ,is well known over the district, and will command a larger vote than any other loan who can be named. Warren county has not had a candidate for Congress since the district was formed Twice we have voluntarily conceded the nOrnination to Eric, and once to Clearfield. We now feel that our turn has come, and ask that Erie shall rally to the support of our candidate iu the same generous spirit V. Lich wehave shown towards her in the past The Deb - leer:icy of Erie and Warren have always wcirkedb together harmoniously, and the same good feeling cap prevail in future if etcli continues' to act towards the other in a spirit of magnanimity and patriotism.

The report of the Dispatch of August I nth is anything but reliable. Mr. George Tabor, of the lien nett Hou,e, informed us that the receipts of his bar on August :Id did not exceed one dol lar, although the pole was raised in front of his house. -The Democracy ut' Union 3lill, arc wide awake, and will make a good show for our ticket this fall.
