TAE KEYSTONE STATE.
Prom the list of meetings arranged by the
State Committee, and the representations of
our exchange's, we are led to the conclusion
that the-campaign is-being conducted by our
party in Pennsylvania with a degree of ener
gy scarcely ever . witnessed. Accounts agree
that complete and thorough organization is

work is brought to bear upon the'canvass.

A maim necioszvr.
A little incident occurred at the Demo•
tratic National Convention, which has not
been mentioned before, and may possess
some interest. The grand hall where that
Convention met was full of patriotic men.
Upon its walli were poised the shields
of the whole thirty.seven States, and around
every shield was the American flag. Upon
the platform stood two bronze statues of no
ble soldiers, one leaning upon a great bronze
sword. The Convention had been in session
several days. Ballot after ballot had taken
place. First one was up and then another,
and preiently a gallant general whose name
has never anywhere been Mentioned bUt
with respect—Bancoek—was taking the lead.
No man knew whether en the next ballothe
was or was not to be chosen. Everything
was uncertain, when, suddenly, the great
bronze sword In the,statue's hand snapped
asunder at the hilt: It was not touched by
mortal hand. No human agency broke it.
Some mysterious, invisible, and irresistible
power snapped it at the hilt, and the word
went forth that the country was to have here
after a statesman and not a soldier for its
leader. •

ANSWER.
The. Gazette's self-confidence will wither
fomewbat, we suspect, when we come to ex
uninc Air. Colfax's record in the light of the
facts and the evidence, We affirm, in the
Taco of that gentleman's contradiction, that
he was a• member of the 'society generally
tutowtras the Know-Nothing order, that he
took an active and leading part in its deliber
atious,and thathe dare not come out openly,
and, over his own _signature, deny the truth
of what we state here or below.
The newspapers of June, 1855, show, and
Imlay living witnesses can testify, that he was
an active and prominent member of the
Know-Nothing National Council, which met
in secret st•ssion is Philadelphia, about the
Gth of June, 1.8•15, It was well known, at the
that only the most trusted members of
Cap order gained admission to that Cpunell;
That for several days nothing was riubliely
latawn of its proceedings, or who were dele
gates to it. A Philadelphia correspondent
wrote to the New York Herald: "A large
number of gentlemen of distinction arc here,
and the general impression seems to he that
they are intimate acquaintances of the mys
terious and übiquitous Sam." About the Ilth
of June, the organization was completed by
the election of the officers, and a committee
on a platform was announced. The second
name on that committee was "Colfax, of In
diana." The correspondent stated that "Mr,
Colfax, the member of Congress elect, wants
a platform to suit Northern Indiana." The
majority overruled Mr. Colfax, and reported
a platform that did not snit Northern Indi
ana. Mr. Colfax and the minority of the
committee made a minority report, which be
big rejected, he and others subsequently
abandoned the American party, as they then
called themselves (on account of their views
on- he slavery question), went off and joined
the radical abolitionists, and nominated re
rriont. This Is Mr. Colfax's record jest ante
rior to " the past tWelve years."
In the Convention herementioned Indiana
was represented by the following delegates:
DilliamCumback, Car SenryLv.u, CoisAx'
Godlove S. Orth, J. S. Harvey, F. 1). Alldn,
James It. M. Bryant, Thomas C. Slaughter.
The committee on platform, allotted to above,
was constituted as follows:" Gibson, of Illi
nois; rirCoLrax_all, of Indiana; Lyons, of
New York; Gambh, of Missouri; Colby, of
New Hampshire: Outs, of Indiana; Sperry,
of Connecticut; 'Ellis, of District of Colum
bia; L. Foster, of Massachusetts; tattling, of
Virginia; Deshler, of New Jersey.; Ricard, of .
Indiana; Matthews, of California." '
In consequence of the - difficulty - about a
platform, certain- roc:ushers of the National
Council seceded, and Set up an organizatton
to co-operate With the new Republican party,
holding their sessions in the Girard House.
We have before us a copy of the-Phihulel
phia Evening Post of the 23d of June, con
taining a detailed •report of the proceedings
and platform, Which would he enrions rind
instructive reading for those persons of for
eign birth who support Mr. Colfax's aspira
tions to the Vice Presidency. They attrilnde
oar national disturbances to the large foreign
element In the voting population, call upon
the people to place only Americans upon
guard; and demand a restriction of the right
of suft4e. ' These proceedings, end the call
'appended theretO, are signed by the follow
ing 'delegates from Indiana:
War. CUM/SACK, SCUCTLEII COLFAX,
CODE OVE 8. ORTN, J. 8. HARVEY,
F. D. ALLEN, JAS R. AL. literaisx.
The conclusion is related by a Trenton
(N. J.) paper:
"In 1856, Schuyler Colfax, Daniel Litman,
Renajah Deacon, and other then.prominent
Know-Nothings left Philadelphia, where the
Radical National Convention was in session,
on the Owl train, came to Trenton, knocked
rip William L. Dayton at midnight, and swore
him, in his shirt-tail, into the Native Ameri
can party.- The next day Dayton was nom
inated for Vice President. On the strength
of that ruittniatt oath, Commodore Stockton
'resigned his 'Native American nomination
for President, anti supported Freuiont and
Dayton ;'also supporting William A; Newell
for Radical Governor of Now Jersey. Colfax
held the bible and read the oath ; Deacon
laid the sword across the book, and litmus
ratified the business by drinks all around."
In the teeth of such positive evidence, bow
despicable must the - Radical candidate for
Vice President seem in the eyes of all honest
men, when he stands before the world guilty
of framing such a sneaking falsehood as that
by which he attempted to escape the de
served odium of having been a leader in the
Infamous and proscriptive Know-Nothing
party. The truth is, Mr. Colfax is a profes
sional politician, and a tricky and dishonest
one at that. Ile has boxed the political corn

how little regard he has for truth, and making
It 'plain to the people what a - contemptible
political trickster he is. - We close our testi
mony with the following extract from the
Louisville Journal, whose famous editor
Geo. D. Prentice, was one of the delegates to
the Convention in which Mr. Colfax partici.:
Fated
EEin
" I, Selmyler Colfax, or South Bend, In the
State of Indiana, a native-born citizen of the
United States, and of Protestant faith, in the

that I will in no case appoint such to any

This is Schuyler Colfax's recorded oath:

can hold and dispose of real estate, and per
form other acts of citizenship. But to ac
quire the privilege of voting, he must go be

present their discharge papers from such ser
vice, and bring two witnesses competent to

• The minor children of persons naturalized,
if the children are then dwelling in the Uni
ted States, become citizens by the natuml-,
ization of the parent. The act of Congresa
of Feb. 10, 1854, decided that the naturaliza
tion of the husband, made his alien, wife a
citizen: capable of holding, inheriting, sell
ing, or bequeathing real estate.
To entitle aliens to vote at the next Presi
dential election, they may procure their na.
turalization papers on or before the '2d day
of November next.
Who Pay the Taxes.
Mr. Scofield, in Lis speech at Walther's
Mit, told the people that they pay no taxes',
and that the revenues of the Federal govern
ment are mainly derived from ra compara
five!), few individuals. The statement was
received with a round of applause, showing
that a large portion of those who heard him,
believed the speaker to be telling the truth.
It may seem strange that in an age of news
papers, any class of men should be so Igno
rant as to endorse sucira sentiment, and it
shows how poorly informed the mass of vo
ters are, notwithstanding our boasted intelli
gence. The truth is, as we have often shown,
that every man, woman and child does pay a
tax on every thing ate, drank, worn or used.
The tax is not levied directly, as the State or
County tax is, liut is collected in the shape of
a tariff at the various ports of entry upon our
seaboard. So wide arc the ramifications of
this tariff system, that we will venture the
assertion that there is not an article of daily
use which does not in some shape pay its
proportion of fax to the support of the gov
ernment. In order to bring the point home
to all, we liaye compiled the following table,
stating the cost of some of the most common
articles delivered at New York, the tariff up
on them, and the rates at which they are sold
to the consumer:

A glance at these flares will satisfy any
voter who sees them that the election this
year concerns him to a very serions degree.
It is asserted by good authority, that for ev
ery hundred dollars expended by a citizen of
the United States, at rettit one•quartcr goes
to pay off the tariff tax, which would make
the average taxation of every farmer and me
chanic about two hundred dollars yearly.
This heavy tariff is rendered necessary by the
extravagant rule of the .Radical party, which
lies trebled the expenses of the government
since it came 'into power, andi is note using
the people's money to perpetuate its hold
upon the Treasury for four years more of
like wrong and mismanagement.
What to Do.
The New York Tribune, a few days since,
gave some advice to its party friends, which
is so pertinent to the occasion, that 'readopt
it as our own, with the slight exception of
changing the Dairies:

ATrou.NEr-Onstaaat Baswerrart andA
ator Cameron Were in the city on Tuesday,
stopping with Mr. Lowry. The Dispatch
says their business was " connected with the
.election," btat 'what particular election it for
gets to 'mention. We judge the one that
most concerned them is the election of a
United States Senator by the nest Legisla
ture, Mr. Brewster being the candidate of
Messrs. Cameron, and Lowry for that' posi
tion. It is to be presumed that our prospec
tive members of Assembly have been seen,
and " timed nil right" for the Cameron
ttomi. On Tuesday evening Messrs, Brews
ter and . Cameron were announced to address
a Radical meeting, and Walther's Hall was
about two-thirds full of persons gathered to
hear them. The opinion of all we have seen,
who were present, is to the effect that two
less interesting speakers have not visited
Erie during the canvass. Mr. Brewster's re
marks were mainly devoted to a denuncia;
Lion of the record of the Democracy pre
vious to the war, which sounded rather
strangely for a gentleman who was an active
member of our party until' after Lincoln's
election. Ho stated further that he would
rather the South'. had won its independence
than, that Seymour and Blair should be elec
ted,a sentiment so *revolting to . all patriotic
instincts that it is condemned as strongly by
Republicans as hy our own party. Gen.
Cameron said he-seas incapable of making a
speech, and atter a talk of about three_ m,irt- .
utei length none of the audience disagreed
with the estimate - he placed upon his own
talents.
IN order to close further inquales on the
subject, we take this opportunity to state
that no attempt to get up a larg4inass meet
ing will be made by our party. friends in the
city this Tear. The leading Democrats arc
of the belief that we can accomplish more by
indoor gatherings, at which all of both par
ties who wish to attend can be comfortably
seated, and listen without disturbance to the
arguments of our speakers, than by tho noisy
and flashy demonstrations that are suppoSed,
by some to be inseparable from political con
tests. In this View we fully concur, and the
experience of the present and past campaigns
bears us out in our position. With the
heavy preponderance of the Radicals, both
in numbers and in wealth, it is tin easy .mat
ter for them to surpass us in show, and an
-anointit ta compete with theca 'on)y
result in redoubled labors on their part to
raise the enthusiasm of their adherents in the
county. A considerable experience in the
political field satisfies us that the poorest
course a partisan organization can adopt is
to make much of a stir in a county where it
is in ,a minority. Steady, unceasing, quiet
work is what tells—having active men se
lected for the duties for which they are par
ticularly fitted, and seeing that all perform
their fair share of the required labor. If
there are any Democrats In the city or court•
ty who think more effective service can be
rendered for 'the cause than is now being
done, let them at once unite themselves with
their district organizations, and help to place
the party interests in their respective
locali
ties in a better condition.
Tau Republican reibses to inform us
whether or not Mr. Scofield did take the "ex
ha pay," but endeavors to, divert us from
pressing the inquiry by threatening to pub
lish some pharges against. Judge Brown, in
connection with the failure of the North
Western Bank. The dilemma in which our
cetemporary finds itself is well shown by
this attempt to escape the responsibility of
giiing a straight-forward answer to our in
terrogatory. Had Judge Scofield adhered to
his written pledge on that, subject, the Re-,
publican would have been eager to furnish
the proof, instead of seeking to evade the is
sue by. assailing the personal and - business
character of our candidate. The Republican
may as welt understand, fairly and explicitly,
that we are not to be driveti from onr-pui
pose by fear of any concoctions it may in
vent, or gossip it may rake up out of the
rubbish of events in which the people, have
no further 'interest. 'We shall 'know the
source whence its information is de4eti,
and advise it that there are too many salient
points in its candidate's record, ready for the
use of our friends, to make the experiment
either a pleasant or profitable one for it to un
dertake.

issues:
• SCOFEEED S - URIIENIDERS.—IIon. J. X. for
nish„ofolyurren,7sept.- our loyal member: of
Congress a challengB tcYcanvhis Warren
county together, but the negro aflvecate re
fuses to enter the ring, intimating Writ he flies
too high.. _Thin is a.cowaraly 4094, worthy
- of those Ruitipers-who love the-abgro -above
the white man. Scofield is known to be one
of the most unscrupulous demagogues around
Washington, and devotes three hours of, his
time to the interest of the negroes in the
Southern States to one he spends in the in
terest of the white people of his district.
ONE of the main stocki3 in trade of the
Radicals is the assertion that if Seymour and
Blair - - are elected there will be war. Who,
pray, will make the war? If there is any
thing ,of the kind it will have to be brought
about by the Radical Dlaunionists who alone
would have an interest in creating trouble.
Duinocrats would not be likely to war upon
their own administration, and much less the
South. The rebels went to war and failed.
The tta - dieils will fail too if they try the
same game.ElecfSeymour and we will have
pence and tinion 4 inch ns the Re:volutionists
fear. War?J The "loyal 4 thieves made so
well out of kho iebellion that perhaps they
think they can make something by "another
war."
A LErmn, from Wendell Phillips appears
In last - week's Anti•Slacery Standard, in
which he repeats his declarations of Grant's
incapacity and intemperance. , The follow
ing extract, coming from the source it. does,
is Mirth }he consideration of the , public :
"We have little confidence in Grant. Ile
is devoid or any statesman-like instinct.' The
nation recognizes him as a tool. Ile has
been drunk in Um public streets since Janua
ry first. The thct is patent as the noon-day.
Only those unfit ho trawled with public
journals, hats passing therusiAves off for owls,
can deny it. He is our King Log, of our
own - choice. The lavishness of labwhood
cannot claim any qualities tit him for
a leader: , . •
Ex-Gov. CURTIN thinks that Pennc.ylvania
will,give Grant a heavier majority than was
ever - Wire ast tor a Presidential candidate,
and that SeymoUr will not get a single North
ern State if the tide keeps °wising. He be
lieves the vote or Vermont will be the key
note of the final result.—Erehange.
In so far as Governor Curtin believes the
vote of Vermont to be the "key-note of the
final result,"he shows himself a man of sense.
That is a reduction of the Radical
majority in 1804 of over two thousand, and
an increase in Cite DemoCratic vote,as com
pared with that of 1864., Give us such, key
notes at the October elections, and Grant
may as well lay in his winter stock on Lis
Missouri farm..
Now that the followers of Radicalism have
had their spree over Maine, and - nothing can
be gnined by keeping uP the delusion, the
leaders are beginning to undeceive the dupes
- aorto the Maine victory. the Ice)* - roe:
Tritnnie
"If our vote should fall off like that of
Maine,,eight pi''r cent. of the total vote of 1860,
we would lose New York by 48,718 majority.
Therefore we must do aix per cent: better
than Maine, compared with 1800, or we lose
the State"-'•

ERIE, PA., Sept. 30, 1803
Editor Oliserrer :—la the last issues of the
Republican and. Dispatch of this city, I no
ticed a - communication from the "Irish Re
publican Club," over the signature of its
;earthy president, (purporting to be the pro
lihcliori of some of Its members, but in reali
ty that of the party to whom they crouch in
abject servility, in hope of receiving some of
the falling crumbs from their political table)
in which au attempt is made to deiltme the
character of that pbrtion of thelrish - who
-vete the Democratic ticket, and more especi
ally to injure Any reputation in this commun
ity. The- malice in which such calumny is
conceived, and thelanguage wl ich clothes it,
truly characterize its authora beneath the
notice of decent wieldy. I r t the neces
je
shy which compels me to reply to Mich vile
slang, and malignant vituperation, as, "servile
herd, votaries of crime, ignorance, intem
perance, and Copperheadism," which, in the
.communication referred to, hiss been applied
without stint to those Irish Ameneari citizens
who - propose to vote for Democratic candi
dates atthe ensuing elections, but duty to
myself and my countrymen constrains me
eery reluctantly to hurl back those foul,biase
epithets in the teeth of the utterers, as appli
cable to them, and them alone. Lest there
nifty& tlidso whose Credulity may lead them
fo "believe - ibis slander 'oh Irish Democrats,
coming as it does from such n' respectable
source as the "Irish Republican club" of this
city, I propose to show what degree of respee
tability,should be attfflted to the members of
this so-Callisdlrlshlleriublicah club. Out
side the rinks of this diminutive party, it
would betill;ticult, if not impossible, to find
a wretch • fiefdom:tan 'tbrm so lost to the in

these so-called Irigt Republicans. I ask, in

ADDRESS TO TOE NElt Otiti fi . ND
• DEBILITATED, ,
whose sufferings have been protracted from
hidden causes, and whose eases require prompt
treatment to render existence desirable: It
you are suffering, or have suffered, from Invol
untary discharges what effect does it produce
upon your general health? Do you feel weak,
debilitated, easily tired? Does a little extra
exertion prodnee palpitation of the heart?
Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kid
neys frequently get out of order? Is youriffine
sometimes thick, milky or docky, or is it ropy
on settling? °Or does n thlek scum rise to the
top? Or is a sediment at the bottom atter It
has stood awhile? Do pun have spells of short
breathing or dyspepsia.? Are your bowels con
ifflpated ? Do you have spells of fainting, or
rushes of Mood to the head? Is your memory
impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling
upon this subject? Da you Teel dull,
moping, tired of company,• of life? Do you
wish 'to be left, alone, to get away from every
body? Does any little thing make you start, or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless? Is
. the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom;
on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy your
settle' society no well? Do you pursue your
business with the same energy? Do you feel
as much confidence In yourself? Are your
spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of melan
choly? If so, donor, lay it to your - liver or dys
pepsia. Ilse° you restless nights? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but Little ap
petite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or
Liver complaint.
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal 'diseases
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capa
ble of producing a weakness of, the generative
organs. The organs of generation, when in
perfect health, make the man. Did von ever
think that those bold, defiant, energetic, perse
vering, successful business men are always
those whose generative organs are In perfect
health? You never hear such men complain
of being melancholy, of nervousness, or palpi
tation of the heart. They are never afraid they
cannot succeed In business; they don't become
sad and discouraged; they are always polite
and pleasant in the company of ladies, and took
you and them right in the face—none of your
downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the or
gans inflated by running, to excess. These will
not only ruln their constitntions, but also those
they do business with or for.
How many men, from badly cored diseases,
from the effects of self-abuse and excesses; have
brought about that state of weakness In those
organs that has reduced the general system so
much as to Induce almost every other disease
ldlotcy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections,
suicide and almost every' other form of disease
that flesh is heir to, and the real cause of the
trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have-doc
tored for all but the right one. ...
