Assessmeits.
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 Iti ERIE.—Hon. G. W. 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-,

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. The trou
ble in the Radical , ranks making it possible
that the Democratic nominee maybe elected,
led to a vigorous competition over the candi
date, and each county presented a namo4ts
follows o Mercer, R. M. Derr:Meet' Clarkin:
James B. Knox ; Venango, S. C. T. Dodd ;
Crawford, W. R. Bole. Ninety-two ballota
were 4d, vilwn. Mr. Dole'a mune was. with-
drawn. The ballots then runup to one 'hun
dred and twenty-two, when Mr. DeFranco
received a majority of the votes, and his
nomination' was at once made unanimous. Ho

Tuc old saying, "Go abroad for news? is
powerfully verified by the folkwing from the
Conncautthlc Record:
"The Irishmen of Erielave a strong Grant
and Colfax Club, which is doing great good
in the campaign."
Tuk sale of the Poor House farm was con
summated on Wednesday of last week. The'
former purchaser, Mr. U. Bchluraff, of West
Mill Creek, was the highest bidder; and it
was' knocked down to him at $270 per acre
—an advance of $l5 per acre overYll3 former
rice.
TUE number of line and substantial build•
ings going up in South Erie is remarkable,
and indicates that the citizens are prospering,
to a gratifying, extent. At the rate of ins
provement for the last threcycars, it trill not
be long until South Erie can lay formidable
claims to riralship with the city proper.
THE Radicals crow loudly" when some
poor, weak-kneed Democrat surrenders his
principles to their clamor, and consents to
support their candidates. Of ono thing we
can assure• • them, that for every change to
Radicalism we will show ten in favor of
the Democrats, even in this dark section of
Pennsylvania.
Tim Coriy Teleraph, which floats Grant's
name at its mast-head,.pronounces Mr. Lew
is, our candidate for Assembly from that city,
"a•nma of butiiness and of good standing iu
society." It alsd calls attention to the fact
that the Radical County `Convention has
twice refused the claims of Corry to a candi
date f.)r Assembly.
Tuc . Girard Crisis has purchased a new
Hoe power press, and its next issue will ap
pear increasefl to double its present size,
with a proportionate amount of reading mat

Democratic paper, and we congratulate
brother rields upon the proverity which en
ables him to indulge in three costly improve

very effective service, and all who wish to
contribute their aid to the cause should give.
.them their hearty co-operation. We hope
that every Democrat' in the city will at
once enroll himself as a member of his dis
trict club.
THE Dispatch says the names of twenty
seven active members were last week placed
upon the list of the Irish Republican club.
We hope our cotempomry will not fail to
publish the list of those twenty-seven immor
tal men; so 'that .the public may judge for
themselves what claims they have to being
called sons of the Emerald Isle, and to what
extent they represent the sentiments of our
citizens of Irish birth. .
"YE local" of the Dispatch estimates the
attendance at the Radical pole raising in
South Erie, on Monday evening, at three
thousand! Good gracious!—just td think
what a stretch of the imagination it must
have required•to convert a few hundred peo
ple into that immense number! We hope the
eTort will not prostrate our neighbor for the
balance of the6ampaign.
"Ile must have optics sharp, I wean,
To see what is not to be 'seen.",
TUE Dispatch informs us that Mr. Gara,
Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth - , left .
for home on
. - Friday evenhig of last week,
"after eleven days' absence—not a 'month or
more,' as the Olerver etionconsly states."
The •exact period is Of little importance,
neighbor; the question of propriCty is the
one under consideration. 'ls it right for
Messrs, Gara Or McCreary to receive large
pay from the State for dtiing certAin,work,
and then employ their time in attending' to
party or personal interests? It makes little
difference in purpose whether the period
eleven days or a whole year. ;
.;
t.P.Trun from a correspondent at Edin
boro gives us the following:
"It is truly encoain,ging to the honest Dem
ocracy to witness the daily increase of our
namhers at the expense of the Radicals. The
efforts of our party have never been crowned
with the same success as at the present time.
The good effects of our meetings can be no
ticed ih the downcast looks of the Radical
"carpet-baggers," who; thmngli a spirit of
revenge, on last Monday evening, attempted
to tear down the pole - which had been reared
nti the Saturday pre4lous,-and were 'partly
successful. The rascals cut the rope attached
to it, and broke off about.tbirty fast from the
top of the pole. Some of the most prominent
Republicans in the, town. arc to

I\9ILTIT. EAST, Bept. 7,1868
Editor Obserro i—Notivithstanding the
very unfavorable weather of Thursday last,
Sept. ;‘.l, the day appointed for holding cur
out-door meeting, quite a large -and enthusi
astic audience assembled in Union gall to
listen to the very able . speeehes from llon.W
P. Jenks, member of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature from Jefferson county, and Wm. A
Gnlbraith, of yotir city.
The Democracy of this borough had made
catensive preparations for holding this meet
ing iu the !Mille park: We erected a large
stand-for the speakers and arranged benches
fur the,audienee under thd shadow of our
noble old hichbrypole,butanforitmately the
weather proved unfavorable, rain com
menced to fitll about the hour of noon:which
Lad the effect of deterring our friends in the
country from coming in with their wagon;
as promised.. Ilaimer, the speakers were
on hand. and the meeting, was fold in Union
tali, which was filled to r/yerflowing.., i'lte
speeches were excellent and welPtimed—es
pccially the one delivered by Wm. A. Cat, I
braith, who spoke with effect upon the finan
cial oliestiorti and; alnitked tip the etiormous
frauds practised upon the piatple by the
"twoly 1011, 1 7 and the immense expenditure
of the people's money caused by the Freed
men's Bureau. "Five hundred thousafid do l
iars," he said, "had :been appropriated to
purchase medicines for the negroes in the
South,' find 'thought -"then! mdse tettlairdt

also ventilated:the extravagance of modern
- Radical OpngressTen; in ; tie, .way' -- Ol
!drives, kid gloves, rictiti : u, - ceinfisdited by
them at the people's expense. Mr. G.'s speech
throughout seas a telling one, and by urta34 -
mous conualt of both Democrats and Radi
cals who heard it, it was cooncedetrto be the
ablest yet delivered in this place sincet the
campaign opened.
. .
The Grant club of this place held, its semi
monthly meeting on Saturday - evening. last,
and was addresed by a Mr. Underhill, of
New York City, reputed to be the author of
a "Life of Jame Buchanan." Judging from
the whole tutor of his remarks, it was plain
to sec that llr.. chikr-hill finds it an, up-hill
business to support the claims of the "no
polies." candidate for the Presidency. lie
told his audience that the three great States
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. would
decide the coining contest, but that two- of
these State were extremely doubtful—kat.-
ing his hearers in the dark as to which two
States he had reference to. The inference
was, that New York 'would go ovenvhchn
iney for Seymour & Blair. Mr. U.'s speech
did-not inspire !patch confidence in Hiram 's
supporters.
An effort is being made (With soul° Bhow
of success) to start a Radical weekly paper in
this place, on the ruins of the Herald. Messrs.
Brainerd and Cushman, two young lawyers
of this borough, are'to be the editors and pro.
prietors. It is thought that it will make Its
first appearance sometime during the last
week, of the present month.

PLATE.t., Sept. '7, 181.1
Dem. Observer :—The second regular meet
ing of the DemOcratic club of LOckport was
held at the hall of Mr.Andrews,on Saturday
evening last, and waS addressed billr; L.
W. Savage, of Springfield. his remarks were
chnracterized'hytandor; argument and abil
ity, and cannot fail of being effective, since
in our comparatively large audience we had
,a good sprinkling.of Republicans: Mr. Sav
age's personal . popularity, his knowledge of
constitntionftl law, and his candid reasoning
combine to render him a_ more effective
speaker than many others Whit have a wider
reputation for oknuence, bat who arc-more
violent and vituperative. ,
Onr club now numbers seventy-five active
meinbers, anti we expect soon to increase the
number to more than a hundred. We are
alive and in earnest and confidently expect
to poll a larger vote in Lockporfdistrict this
fall than we ever polled before, Ono geed
sign oftheilniesis tho-rtatlineis with which
the Republicans turn out to our political
gatherings, wherever they are, thus laying
themselves open to conviction while, at the
.same tine, their own meetings, as a general
rule, are sparse, anti seem to possess very
little vitality.: The laboring masaes . of the
' people take slight interest in the administra
tion of the. Government, aside from the ad
vantages they receive from that- administra-
I
tion • •
they neither leek nor expect any,of the
emoluments or profits of oilice,but they have
a love- of libertY inherent in, their 4tatnreq,
and will watch with a jealous eye any en
croaclunonfumnlhee privileges. Alt that
is needed in. the present campaign, isa . fair
presentation of tho teal live issues

I hereby certify that I have used the "Mercier
Flexible Harrow," the right of which for this
County is owned by Capt. John H. Welsh, and
lind that I can accomplish one-third more s liii
this machine than with any other I am ac
quainted with. It combines the qualities of
lightness, cheapness and durability, and Is the
most perfect harrow that I have ever seen. It
can be easily changed into a cultivator for COm
and any boy large enough to drive a team eau
readily and easily take it apart and put It to
gether again. I most cheerfully recommend
my friends and acquaintances to buy this ma
chine, as I consider it altogether the best in
use. No risk is incurred by the purchase, as the
buyer *lll haveample opportunities of trying
