Saturday, the 3d of October, is the last day when assessments can be made iu time to vote at the State election. We advise that in every district committees be chosen to ob tain copies of the AsseSsment lists, and see that no Democrat loses his vote on account of a failure to be assessed. The Assessors arc required to add the name of any one who applies in person to be assessed. .ag27-tf We have received a large supply of docu- ments for free distribution, which will be de livered to those of our friends who may call at the office. They are mostly intended for use among Reouhlieaus and doubtful voters, and we hope that pains will be taken to place them in the hands of that class of citizens. Democrats arc posted on the issues of the day, and need no additional fists to confirm their faith. Fifty Cents for Three Months. In order to accommodate Clubs and sub scribers who wish to receive the paper for a limited period, we have concluded to take three months' subscriptions from now until the November election. The price of sub scription will be fifty cents fur the three months, and the paper will be promptly dis continued as soon as the time expires. At this low rate, it ought to be arreasy matter for ditch one of our twenty-five hundred sub scribers to secure at least one or two addi tional names, and we hope to be able to boast of a list of tire thousand before the canvass is ended. jyl6-tf. Noturalizatioit Court. Two sessions of Court will be hell before the October election, the first commencing on Monday, the 28th of September; the sec 'ond on the first Monday of October. At each of these terms persons entitled to naturaliza tion can secure , their papers, and we recom mend'that the subject be brought to their attention before it is too late. The importance of having every Democratic vote polled in October cannot be too strongly pressed upon our friends. The State election will be an infallible index of the result in November. If Pennsylvania is carried by the Democracy, then Seymour will slimly be elected; if wo are defeated in that preliminary contest, the struggle will virtually be ended. We urge that those intending to apply for naturalization papers should endeavor to ap pear on the first days of court, as the length of the sessions Is always uncertain. By wait ing till the middle of the week or later, they may find the court adjourned, and have all their lime, travel and trouble for nothing. Senator Doolittle to be in Erie Sept-em. It affords us more than ordinary pleasure to announce that, through the efforts of Hon. Wm. A Wallace, Chairman of the State Com mittee, we are able to promise our citizens a speech from the able and eloquent Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin. He can only spare time from the campaign in the West to make five speeches in Penn sylvanin, one of which will be in Erie on Friday evening, Sept. 25th, and another at Warren, on the Saturday following, Septem ber 26th. Senator Doolittle made his first and last visit to Erie as a public speaker during the canvass of 1866, at which time he left an im pression that will not soon be effaced. Ile was pronounced by all who heard him to be the most efficient campaigner who had ever appeared before our people, and his reputa tion has since spread over the whole coun try. We risk nothing in promising all who hear him one of the most clear, courteous, candid, argumentative and convincing ad dresses they have ever listened to. As the attendance is expected to be very large, Farrar Hall has been engaged_ for the occasion. Special attention will be given to the accomthodation of ladles, many of whom having, heard him in iscri, express a warm desire that their sex shall have an opportu nity to listen to him on the prCSent occasion.

Scofield, "our Congressman," as the Radical organs of the district are in the habit of affwtionat4 styling him, delivered a speech in Walther's , Hall, on Wednesday evening. Mehl's band played some of their sweetest "strains from, the balcony, and a crowd of perhaps four hundred was collected, which would proba bly have Veen larger had there been sitting accommodations. The honorable gentleman wriggled and twisted in an extraordinary manner, dodging all the points at issue with his acenstomed skill, and befogging his hear ers with statements that none but an experi enced political trickster would have dared td palm off. It John Allen is the "wickedest man in New York," Glenni W. Scofield may very. appropriately be called the "brassiest man in Pennsylvania."— His entire harangue was a tissue of the most absurd and 16re-faced perversions, tricked out in a garb that Made them look plausible, and well calculated to deceive the ignorant and unreflecting. lie repeated Ins "whiskey" and "cat" stories for the fiftieth time since the canvass opened, with uproarious effect, and, true to his reputation, was always hap piest in distorting the utterances or misrep resenting the purposes of his political oppo nents. How any intelligent eitiOn could lam listened to such a mess of non Sense and rib aldry without a feeling of shai‘ne that a man like Scofield should be our representative in the highest legishOve ssl , emblage of the land, is a matter of the Profoundest wonder. 11% speech on Wednesday proved him an ru - rant demagogue and a deliberate falsifier. MEE ACCORDING to the Crawford Denlotrat poor men stand i a slim chance of being seal to Congress from that district. It thus re capitulates the result of the three last con tests for the Radical nomination : "Four years ago Culver beat Richmond, because Culver had more money. Two years ago Finney beat Pettis, because Finney had more money. And now GiltiHan beats Pet-, tis, and McAdam, and Lathey, because he has more money than 411 of them com bined P Documents. bet 25th. City Meetings. Thu Democracy of the city and South Erie havehecome fully awake to the *lmpottmaCo of a more active campaign, and, from indica tions now, promise to excel their Most de termined efforts. Clubs have been formed or arc being formed in eyery district, a full and careful canvass is being made, documents are being circulated by the thousand, our leading men promptly respond to calls Tor speeches, and everything is being done neces sary to secure the poll of our utmost strength at the October election. The evidences of a great change in public sentiment are -mani feSt in all directions, and we are daily bur prised and gladdened with information of some person who has heretofore, voted with the Radicals, but now aVows his resolution to act with the party that is pledged to -re duce the public expenses and remove the odious class discriminations that hat a grown up under Hailical rule. The laboring people, as a general thing, arc unanimous in support of Seymour, and, as the issues of campaign come to be better under stood, their zeal increases to an extent that surpasses all past experience. On Saturday evening a meeting was held for the Second District at Collard's Hall, which was largely attended, and most en thusiastic in character. A club organization was effected, with J. 3L Kuhn as President, P. A. Becker as Secretary,and ayinancial and Executitaa Committee comprising some of the most efficient men in the district. A stirring speech was made by W. A. Gal braith, which evidently left a good impres sion. Ile was followed by BenJ. Whitman in a brief address, when Jac,ob Bootz, one of the most intelligent German citizens in the district, was called upon and delivered a speech in his native language, which sur ,prised all present by its fluency and ability. Mr. BOotz is capable of rendering great ser vice in the cause, and we hope he will feel called upon to enlist for the campaign. The meeting adjourned with loud cheers for Our candidates, and if the spirit shown is a fair index, We way safely predict a largely in creased Democratic vote in the Second Dis trict.. The Democracy of South Erie, always alive to their duty, and never behind-hand in performing it, organized a club some weeks ago, which is in splendid working order. A hickory pole-was raised last week in front of the National Hotel, the proceedings on which occasion we have already reported. On Saturday evening, another pole Irak raised in front of the public house of Wm. Lo'sch, in the presence of a large audience. Knoll's band was in attendance, and every ono of its metkbers being staunch Democrats, they played with es-en more inspiring effect than usual. Speeches were made by Col. Thompson, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Galbraith in English, and by Mr. Camphausen in GernuM. They were all of a very happy nature, and the crowd evinced a degree of enthusiasm rarely seen. Our friends in South Erie re port a large gain, and are confident of in creasing the Democratic majority. The Democracy of the Fourth District as sembled in large numbers at Streck's corner of Sixth and Cherry-streets, on Mon day evening list, and effected a permanent organization by the election of Wm. G. Ar buckle as President, Wm. E. Leonsnl and Martin Weindorf as Vice Presidents, Horace L. White as Secretary and Edwin J. Kelso as Treasurer. An Executive Committee, to have the general supervision of the party in terests in the district, n - as selected as fol lows Jacob Dresigaker, James Touhy, 'John Hanley, Andrew Stronk and David Burger. The meeting was addressed by Benj. Ayhitman and Horace L. White, each of whom sought to bring the issues to the practical consideration of their hearers, and apparently with good effect. Most of those present were .working men, and we have . never seen a more orderly, attentive, earnest and well behaved audience. Another meet ing will be held on Tuesday evening, Sept. 15th, when speeches will be made by one or two gentlemen. A meeting of the First District Democracy was held in Bray's Hall, on Wednesday even ing, which, in consideration of the brief notice, n'as well attended. The following officers were elected President, Gates A. Bennett ; Vice President, Dennis Fogarty ; Secretary, It. S. Hunter. A constitution for . a district club was adopted, atter which Mr. Whitman was called upon, and spoke of the value of organization, and the need that every member of the party should contribute his personal exertions to the success of the cause. W. A. Galbraith followed with tho,, main speech of the evening, which was one of the best he ever delivered, and enthusi astically received. Some fifty persons signed their names to the ConStilution, and the meeting then adjourned to Wednesday even ing of next week, when a permanent organ ization will be secured. Speakers will be provided for a meeting n the Third district as soon as our friends here secure a hall and fix upon an evening. The Campaign in the City. Our irrepressible Radical brethren are mak ing almost superhuman efforts to aivance their cause in this city. They long ago en gaged Walther's Hall as their heatipmsters daring the campaign, and nearly every even ing have it in use 'for their club, ward or gen eral meetings. The main purpose seems to be to get up as much excitement, show and noise as possible, thus covering up the real issues at stake, as generals often make their most important moves behind the smoke of the battlefield. ln this way the young men, who arc too often led Betray by flashy demon stations and the desire to be on the strong'' side, are sought to be entrapped, and the political experience of" the war is expected to be repeated. It would seem as if the time had 'come when men of sense would turn away from such a system of tactics with dis gust, but the Radical leaders may, after all, have a better appreciation of the popular in telligence than our friends give them credit for. They have also divided the city into districts, with a canvasser in each, to ascer tain the political standing of every citizen,. and exett his influence in having doubtful. voters array-themselves on the Radical side. . mass meeting is to bo held on the 24th inst., which half a dozen of their most effec tive speakers are expected to attenkand great efforts will be made to render it an im posing demonstration. In addition to this, the usual indoor meetings are to be held at frequent intervals, when the speakers will labor with all 'their paver to stir up the pas sions of their adherents, and secure the zealous co-operation of all the elements of the party. The Democratie. party, being mainly com posed of the poorer classes of our citizens, and having no (Alice holders or office expec ' tants to take the lead in their movements, arc obliged to conduct the campaign at a great disadvantage as compared, with their opponents. Those who have never been actively engaged in political operations can not conceive the amount of money it requires to hire halls and bands, to purchase hats, capes, 5:C., and to hold meetings, and the fact that we are unable to provide these on such a fulsome scale as the Radicals, in clines some to think that our managing men arc not doing their fnll share of the required work. We ask all such to remember the difficulties under which our party labors in this city, and assure them that any assist ance they can afford, either by personal 'co operation or financial contributions will be gladly accepted. In a contest like this no Democrat can excuse himself for delinquen cy on his own part, by attempting to place the responsibility on others. It cannt4 be expected that in a county with three thou sand opposition majority, where Democrats have no hope of reward, either direct or =- mote, a few men should eve their whole time to the Work, tUItl the rest do notbi; IVe all have common interests and motives, neon cOinnion'll - Z . NotwitlC-• standing. the di Iloulties alludedi to, /be!. cam paign on our side progresles' steadily and effectively, and we arc-much mistaken, if, in spite of the display and fustian resorted to by the Ratlicals,th - O vote in October doesnot exhibita 'gratifying Democratic gain. Our friends have adopted the plan of district clubs as the cheapest and most effective, and with good working committees will accom plish more real service than the showy par ades or noisy mass meetings of the other side. A canvass of all the wards is being made, which will result in the full party Stlength being Out on election day. After too long a period of apathy, the Democracy have !idly aroused to the requirements of the occasion, and before another week passes we hope to lie able to announce that there is not an influential member of our party in the city who has failed to enroll himself in the front ranks, willing to: do any part that is needed to advance the cause. How to be Asse , ,sed, &c. Eucron:--Pleasc tell me, for the ben efit of a number who have not long resided in the city, how we can be asst. - Itsed, and pay our taxes, iu order to vote, the Democratic ticket in October. B. Eric, Sept. 7, 1868. The Assessors in the city are as follows: Ist Dist., Thomas Evans, residence corner of Second and Holland streets; 2d Dist., J. J. Fuezier, 62 East Ninth street; 3d Dist., John B. Gunnison, 144 West Buffalo street; 4th Dist., Thomas Stewart, 144. East Eighth SL The law requires that upon the personal ap plication to au Assessor of any person who wishes to vote, he shall take down the name and enter it upon his list. It has been cus tomary for the Assessors to record all names furnished them by a responsible citizen, and as the object of the law is to give everybody entitled an opportunity to vote, and the offi cers of elections decide for themselves upon every applicant's. qualifications, without re gard to the assessment list ; we presume there will be no departure from the rule this - ear. . The Constitution provides that every voter must pay a State pr county tax within two yearn, which sh4l have been assessed tea days before election. This is irrespective of all other qualifications. The tax collectors for the city are : East Ward, George W. ltib ik residence on Eighth St., east of French; West Ward, Capt. C. Sexaur, residence on Fourth street, west of the canal—either of whom, we presume, will be happy to receive any sums due urn their ho ,, hg, whenever resented.

A DIRTSTED EDITOII.—The last issue of the Corry Telegraph shows quite plainly, what we have suspected for some time, that' Bro. Pain is pretty thoroughly tired of the doings of the party with which he has been identified for some years past. How a. man of ids independence of character and fairness of disposition could have supported Radical ism as long as he has, has long been a mystery to us." The Telegraph still keeps the Radical' ticket at its editorial head, but if the follow ing extract from its issue of last week, is a criterion, we suspect that its influence against Democracy will not be "enough to hurt." After favoring the Radical nominees for As sembly and Commissioner, it says: "The other nominees it don't matter to ns individually which is elected. Politics have got into such a darned . mixed up moss, that it's about like the woman when her hnkband and the bear were -fighting—it don't matter much which wins at the State election. The ticket at the Lead of our column shows our preference, but we are not interested enough either way to cure which gets in. "The country will go on about_ the same, whichever succeeds. If we have peace, so much the better; and we don't believe the men lice who would - inaugurate another war just vet. 'lf we have war, it will be no more than we-have been through. Taxes areabout as high as they can be and bear under them. If they get higher, the Republican party will then see that they have got to cast off some of the darned skunks that hang on its skirts because there's money in it; mad we may then feel a pleasure in supporting as of yore, with - all our heart and soul, hsnest Republi cans, such as comprised the party in the days of its first organization." Tux CRAINTORD DIST TUCT.—Tha conferees to nominate a Democratic candidate for Con gressin the district composial of Crawford,' Mercer, Venango and, Clarion counties, met at Franklin on the 31st of August.
