in.;Radinal mass meeting on Thursday

Senator Doolittle at Farrtir Ball.
The efening of Friday last was one of the
most disagreeable we have had this season,
bat in spite of rain and storm, and without
any extra exertion to get out a crowd, Far
rar Hall was packed from top to bottom with
as attentive and respectable an audience as
we have ever seen, to hear Hon. J.R. Doolit
tle, the justly distinguished and admired
Senator from Wisconsin, explain his views
tipou the present campaign- A considerable
portion of those present were Republicans,
most of whom listened with the utmost in
terest, and not a few appeared deeply im
pressed by what they heard. Knoll's Band
furnished the music, which it is unnecessary
to say, was capital. The Democracy of
South Erie, to the extent of several hundred,
formed a procession, and marched to the
Ball headed by the band, receiving many ae
cessionsralong the route, and astonishing the
Radicals by their earnestness and numbers.
It was not expected that on such a dreary
night the people would turn out so largely
and promptly, and in consequence the ar
rangements had been made to commence the
meeting at eight o'clock. When Senator
Doolittle arrived, about a quarter of eight,
the hall was found to be as full as could be
accommodated, and the audience being im
patient fur the proceedings to begin, the
meeting was opened without reading a full
list of the officers. The Colton ing are the
gentlemen who had been previously, selected
by the Committee :
President—Dr. Geo. C. Bennett.
Vice Presidents—James Lytle, L. B. Chev
alier, John Casey, C. Kolb, It S. Hunter,
John McCloskey, Selden Marvin, Capt. Frank
Wagner, Dr. C. Brandes, Wm. Henry, J. H.
Neill, John Boyle, W. C. Warren, D. Marks,
E. Macumber, John B. Gunnison, I. H. Neu
berger, C. Englehart, W. E. Leonard, B.
Schlaudetker.
Secretaries—Robert J. Saltsman, Geo. P.
Griffeth, Louis Rosenzweig, P. McGinnis,
Isaac Baker, Capt. J. H. Welsh, Frank Mess
mer, 3L A. Quinn, F. A. Weber, W. W.
Lyle, Homer Hill, Jas. H. Smyth, Andrew
Jackson, Charles Fox, Eugene Metz.
The name of our popular and skillful med-'
ical friend, Dr. Bennett, for President, was
received with a round of applause, and gave
especial satisfaction to the host of "Boys in
Blue" in the Hall, who - remembered his ser
vices in the army, and knew that through
all their privations the soldiers and sailors'
had in the Doctor a true friend, to wham
they could always apply for assistance with
the assurance of being kindly and manfully
treated. The Doctor's speech on taking the
chair was, graceful and appropriate, and was
cheered at every sentence. His introduction
of Sehator'Doolittle to the audience was done
in a manner that shows the Doctor would
have made as able a political tactician as he
is acknowledged.to - be talented in his profes
sion.
It was impossible for us to secure a full
report of Senator Doolittle's remarks, and
we cannot do justice to it in an abstract. He
spoke for about two hours, in a vein of elo
quence that has never been surpassed in our
city, and seldom, if ever, equalled. With an
extremely fine presence, a voice as rich and
powerful as the tones of an organ, a manner
that indicated honesty and earnestness of
purpose in every word and action, and a
bearing that comes up to the standard every
one looks for inn statesman, Senator Doolit
tle is undoubtedly entitled to stand in the
very front rank-of our country's orators and
sages. The audience listened to his forcible
sentenses in wrapt attention, and';at the end
of the two hours, would have gladly remained
to hear him as much longer. A striking pe
culiarity of Senator Doolittle's oratory is the
fact that while he never uses any but the
purest language, his diction is so clear and
simple as to be as distinct to the comprehen
sion of the plainest persons as well as.the best
educated. A workingman, who had never
been at school a day in his life, remarked :
"I would give more to hear that man than
all the speakers I have seen," and another
of the same class came to the committee and
offered ten dollars towards securing the
speaker's return before election. While the
Senator was describing, in terms that thrilled
all present, the struggle which ended in the
Radical party deserting the policy of Lin
coln that had been almost unanimously sus
tained by them during his life, a venerable
and prominent member of that party was
moved to tears. We regret that all of our
readerA could not have been present, and as
sure those who were not, that they missed a
treat seldom to be obtained. The Contrast
between Senator Doolittle's temperate man
ner and dignified bearing, and the rant and
hypocrisy exhibited by the Radical speakers
who have been brought here, has evoked
considerable comment His visit lots been
of incalculable service to our cause, not less
in strengthening the belief and determina
tion of the Democracy, than for its effect
upon those of the opposition whci are open
to reason ; and -we but express the senti
ments of all classes in saying that the Sena
tor will meet a warm welcome whenever he
may find it convenient to return to our city_
In - response to urgent calls, W. A. Gal
bmitjt followed Senator Doolittle in a brief
but forcible speech, which was received with
that favor which always attends Air. G.'s ap
pearance before an audience anywhere in •
this section. A serenade was given to Sena
tor Doolittle, at the residence of air. Gal
braith, abbot •eleven o'clock, to which the
distinguished gentleman responded in fitting
terms.
•
Wri arc happy to inform our readers abroad
that the Democracy of this city and South
Eric have at, last a compact, energetic and
efficient organization, which promises- to
bring out 'the strength of the party more
thoroughly than in any previous Campaign.
Instead of spending our means in nselegs and
costly display, they have been applied to the
forMation of district clubs, which reach the
people directly, and have created an interest
among the masses never before realized in
this section. The time Was when our lead
ing men were obliged to strain every energy
in order to secure an interest among their
supporters, but this year the people are
ahead of their leaders, and have taken hold
with a spirit that is encouraging beyorul all
precedent. A great portion of the zeal they
evince is doubtless owing to • the politic
course of our speakers, who have aimed to
show them how the outrageous legislation
of the Radicals affects their immediate wel
fare and that of their families. We are quite
confident that the vote of the city in October
will exhibit an increased Democratic strength
that will send dismay into the camp of the
Pharassaical and over-confidentßadicals.
BETTING ON ELEcnoss.—Wagers upon
elections are positively prohibited by the
laws of the Commonwealth, and all contracts
founded Thereon "declared to be entirely
null and val." Any person making a bet
upon the result of an election, either direct
or indirect, ettn be prosecuted for a misde
meanor, and fined in a sum three filmes the
amount set up as a stake, provided that the
prosecution must be commenced within six
months cater the offence. The law requires
officers knowing of a bet to - commence pro
' nnedings against the parties, and the Judges
and inspectors of elections are prohibited
from receiving their votes. The officers hav
ing charge of the poor are directed to com
mence suit for the amount bet within two
years after the offellee, uud if the stakeholder
has paid over the seats placed in his hands,
he is individually responsible, as well as
either of the parties having property that can
be levied upon. It will be seen that betting
is rather a dangerous business, and our ad
vice to both Bides. is to refrain from it en
tirely.
THE Gazette says the official majority in
Maine is 20,302, instead of 18,807, as pub
lished in our last issue. The former figures
are the Litest received, • and are probably
nearly correct.

WILL the Dispatch, which has so much to
say about Democrats being intemperate,
please give us a short chapter descriptive of
the conduct of its friends at the Cony mass
meeting ? I
" WizoEvEn;" says the Clearfield Republi
can, " votes for Glennl W. Scofield for Con
gress, casts his ballot as emphatically for ne
gro suffrage in Pennsylvania as though it
was printed on his ticket."
WILL the Republican, which Isunderstood
to be Mr. Scofield's special organ, be kind
enough to give us a direct answer to the all
important question : Did he or did he not
take that eitra pay, afire promising that he
would not? •
Tim Democrats 'and Radicals of Edinboro
will hold a discussion on political Issues on
Friday afternoon and evening. The speak
ers on the Democratic side will be Messrs.
Taylor, Wilson and Allen; those on the Ra
dical side, 3lessrs. Burnkam, Twichell and
others.
Compt,..knyrs are universal of the poor
quality of the butter brought to our market.

no excuse either, for

supply of the article. It ought to be a pun

THE Williamsport Standard comes back at
the Dispatch with the following "retort cour
teous:"
Williamsport is highly tickled over the no
velty of having a Nicholson pavement.—Erie
Dispatch.
And Erie is highly tickled over the pros
pect of yet having a street passenger railroad.
TELE Clearfield Republican has been en
larged to the extent of one column on a page,
making it the same size as the Observer.
The Republican is one of the best of our
Democratic exchanges, and we are heartily.
pleased to see that under brother Good
lender's management it is securing the pros
perity it so well deserves.
Tam editor of the Gazette endeavors to
create the impression that he is on terms of
so much intimacy with Commodore James
Stewart, that the latter reveals to him his
special sleeping arrangements. The Com
modore indignantly denies the " soft im
peachment," and threatens to commence
proceedings for defamation of character.
TEM Clearfield Republican is informed that
in Warren county, Jadge Brown will re
duce Scofield's majority of a thousand in 1866
to almost nothing. We hope its information
may be correct. The Republican says the
Democrats of Clearfield county warn nover
so active as now, and that they will give
1400 majority for the State and Congressional
tickets. •
Tun Radicals at Fairview, some time since,
challenged the Democratic club of that place
to meet with them for the purpose of having
a public discussion. The Democrats prompt
ly accepted, and it was agreed that each side
should choose its own speaker. Hon. J. K.
Hornish has been engaged to represent our
side, and the opposition have applied tolir.
Scofield, but it is understood that he declines
on the ground that Hornish is not a fit anta
gonist. Those who have met the two men
will easily guess the true reason.
HON. Sairnsal COLFAX, Radical candi
date for Vice President, reached this city
about midnight on Friday, stopping at the
Reed House, and remaining until the depar
ture of the Pittsburgh train. His arrival
was unannounced, and as soon as it was
known in the morning, created great com
motion among his admirers; who called up
on him by the score. A number of them
saw him safely.ensconced in the cars, bat,
strange to say, not one offered to pay his
hotel bill, and in the presence of a half dozen
Radicals he was compelled to pull out his
pocket-book, and defray' the charges him
self. Such is Radical hospitality.
Pranca.—What has become of
the corn stalk hero that used to flourish
around here, rejoicing en the borrowed hon
ors of a "General?" He certainly cannot be
the Pearce who is leading the insurrection in
Georgia, because he was adverse to-gunpow
der.
The above is front the Norfolk (Vs.) Jour
nal. Is the "Gen." Pearce referred to the
same person who flourished about this coun
ty some weeks ago, thrilling the public with
his perils and devotion as a Union man in
the South, and heaping coals of fire upon the
heads of the terrible Copperheads ? If so,
perhaps the Republican, of which he was at
one time to be the purchaser, can answer the
Journal's inquiries !
TUE contrast between the speakers whom
the Democrats have brought to our city, and
those on the Radical side, is so glaring as to
be a subject of coinmen remark. The high
standing, dignified runner and argumenta
tive speeches of our orators are so striking
in comparison with the Sickles', Flowers',
Barkers' and others who have addressed the
Radicals, that the most respectable men
among the opposition freely acknowledge
the fact, and express their regrets at the dif
ference. We have examined our exchanges
on both skies with care, and knowing, as we
do by reputation; nearly all the prominent
speakers in the country, can assure our
friends that in nearly every section the same
creditable 'distinction prevails that is wit
nessed in our own city.
BUT give us the equal taxation for which
the Democracy now clamor, and what will
be the result? We answer, the levy of a di
rect tar on every farm in the country. Thisis
what equal taxation means.—Warren Mail.
The Mail has probably forgotten that plank
of the Radical platform which says: "It is
due to the labor of the country that taxation
should be equalized." If the construction
which it places on the Democratic theory be
correct, the same result must inevitably fol
low Grant's election, in case the party 'hon
estly carries out its declarations, of which
there is room for doubt. This attempt to
pervert our purposes is one of the silliest
and most contemptible of the shifts to,which
the Radicals have resorted, and adds one
more to the many proofs that their sole reli
ance in the campaign is upon the prejudices
and ignorance of their followers. .
A DEMOCRATIC procession out West, and
not a very big one either, was about three
hours passing a given point The "gives
point" was a saloon.—Diapoted.
The Dispatch:ia very fond of slurring -par
agraphs like the above. Almost every day
it has something intended to create the• im
pression that Democrats are peculiarly ad
dicted to strong think. We presume the two
parties in this city area fair sample of what
they are throughout the country. Will any
one have the boldness to say tlutt the Demo
crats of Erie, as a mass, are not as respects- .
ble, as influential, and as well behaved as
their opponents? How much , better Col
ducted are their meetings than ours? A con
trast, we suspect, would be anythinc but cre
ditable to these who are so fond of setting
themselves up as superior to their neighbors.
Will the Dispatch have the kindness to till
us something of the conduct of its friends at
the big Radical meeting in Cony? Up less
this prattle about drinking is stopped :soon,
we may be tempted to relate a few facts that
will not reflect very creditably upon Dla•
Patch's PclittQat friends.
TUE grandest gathering of the campaign
in Northwestern Peansylvaalawill take place
at Erie to-day, Thursday.—Conneautra/e Re
curd.
The " grandest gathering of the campaign"
cable off, as advertised, and turned out to be
" not much of a shower after 2111." The splen
did procession we were promised, consisted,
by the highest count, of 65 conveyances, con
taining, perhaps, five hundred" people, 40
horsemen (mcluding Dr. Germer), and 600
nondescript individuals, calling themselves
Tanners, but most- of whom would be
ashamed to have it known that they worked
at the business, if such had ever been the
fact. A sharp
,rain coming Up just as the
procession reached the Parks, dispersed this
motly crowd very summarily, and at the fair
est calculation, those who remained to hear
the speakers never numbered over seven
hundred. The meeting In Walther's Hall
was attended by about five hundred people;
,that in 'Farrar Hall by a few more ; and at no
time during the proceedings was there a
Vetter turn out than could be got in the city
upon any occasion of an ordinary character.
"The grandest gathering of the campaign,"
by the interposition of Providence and the
inefficiency of the managers, resulted in the
"grandest" fizzle.
Ws notice that -Sheriff Swan inserts the
law disfranchising deserters in his election
proclamation, although it is known to every
body that the Supreme Court has pronounced
It unconstitutional. We are not acquainted
with the reasons for this act, but it looks
much as if it was designed to give the Radi
cal election officers an opportunity for dis
regarding the decision of the Court. Those
acquainted with legal proceedings are famil
iar with the fact that when a law is once
pronounced unconstitutional by our highest
legal tribunal, it is of no more force than if it
had been adopted by a town meeting, and
hence it is clearly the duty of the Sheriff and
all other officers to trait the deserter act as if
it had never been engrafted on the statute.
book. Th 6 law has already given rise to
more annoyance and bad feeling titan any
enacted by our State Legislature, and we
hOpe the Radicals do not intend to involve
the people in more difficulty regarding it.
Miami ANDREW Scarr, one of the most
widely known. citizens of Erie, died - at his
residence on Peach street on Friday morning
last, in his tiSth year. Hewes elected Sheriff
in 1837, was appointed Postmaster in 1811, and I
was for many years a leading member of the
opposition party. Firm in his opinions,
and a determined antagonist, he was never
theless a man of generous impulses, and many
delightful incidents are mentioned of his
kindness to the unfortunate and needy. His
funeral, on Sabbath afternoon, was one of
the largest seen in Erie for many years.
Amour the pleasantest thing that can be
conceived of, when one is laboring day and
night, without pecuniary reward or expecta
tion of receiving any, for the welfare of MS
party cause, is to have some surly old scav
enger, who never gives a penny or renders a
particle of assistance, incessantly barking at
his heels and perverting his actions and mo
tives. If the Democratic party of Erie city
is unfortunate enough to be cursed with such
a creature, which we hope It is not, the mass.

Suonivr after midnight, on Sunday last,
a tire broke out in the "Welsh House," situ
ate on the Buffalo Road, just beyond. the city
limits. The engines were on hand as soon as
possible, but not in season to
. be of much
service ; in fact, the building was so - -rapidly
consumed, it was with the greatest difficulty
that any portion of its contents could be
saved.. Mr. W. had about eighteen boarders,
some of whom had just time enough to make
their escape. Total loss $7,000. Insurance
on Building, Stock and Furniture about
$4,000.
Werra B. LLOYD, an old-war Democrat
of Wattsburg, has taken the Seymour and ,
Blair ensign' from the pole in front of his
house and replaced it by a Grant and Colfax
streamer, and intends to "fight it out on that
line."—Dispatch. •
Mr. Lloyd is not a resident of Wattsburg,
he hasn't hauled down the "Seymour and
Blair ensign" and "replaced by a Grant and
Coltax streamer"—and he will not "fight it
out" on the -Radical "line." In all other par
ticulars the Dispatch's paragraph is correct.
IT was a grand spectacle to look upon the
thousands of patriotic men, women and chil
dren, standing in the drenching rain for up
wards of two hours, to listen to the man
who, at the commencement of the war, en
rolled Idinself bravely under the Sag.
The above is an extract from the'Nerth
East Stir's report of the "grandest gathering
of the campaign," at the time Gen. Sickles
was speaking. Those who were present will
know how to appreciate it.
A oxirmatarir from the country last week
made the rounds of all our book stores and
news stands, to purchase a copy of the Con
stitution of the United States, and could not
find one for sale in any of them. At one
place the proprietor looked up in astonish=
ment at the inquiry, saying ho had never had
a call for the document before. Is it any
wonder that Radicalism should prevail here,
under such circumstances?. •
HERB is a mysterious paragraph from the
last Corry Telegraph. What does it mean?
Perhaps it will help to explaht the reason
why there was no delegation present from

Trur. Gazette complains because we did
not accept an offer it made last week to print
- an editorial from its columns, in return for

the condition that in both papers the articles
shall appear on the editorial page, and that

Dunz&o the session of Court this week, a
young Irishman applied for naturalization
who had a discharge from the army. As he

Tun deflinct North East Herald his been
succeeded by a new paper, entitled the North
East Star, of which Messrs. Brainard &Cush
man, two young attorneys, are the editors
and proprietors. The Star is not a "snake in

most " advanced" Radical dogmas. Its ap
pearance is good, and its editorial depart
ment well sustained.
Orrn of the first measures to which the next
Legislature, should direct its attention is en

they can be found, on certain hours, to be

the Assessors, at great inconvenience, and

DEW Elk Co. Railroad and Mining Gazette
is the =Me of a new paper et•tablished at St.
Mary% of which E. F. Hodges, Esq.,"ii:the
publisher. It is Democratic in politics, well
edited and neatly printed, and promises to be
a valuable aid to the local interests of Elk
county, as well as an efficient advocate of the
principles of constitutional liberty.
Tire :Fair of the Crawford Co. Central Ag
ricultural Society will be held at Itea dville
on the GU, 7th, Bth and 9th days of October!
How does it come that we cannot hold one

GEN. &Cuss, who was brought ort to en
lighten the :Radicals of Elie county at the
"grandest gathering of the campaign," is the
same "bloody-landed rebel" against his
country's laws, who, some Years ago, shot
Hey dead upon the streets of Washington,
for being too familiar with his wife, whom he
separated from upon that oceasion,end af
terwards took back to his nuptial couch.
The whole press of the country, Including
the pious old Gazette, rung with denuncia
tions of him as a murderer at that time, but
he has since expiated his crime at the altar
of "loyalty;' and come out fiom the test
pure enough to be an accepted leader in the
house of'" great moral ideas." Verily, bath
it been said, " loyalty " " covereth a multi.
tilde of sins." Sickles holds aCommigdon as
Colonel in the United States army, and
draws his pay regularly while he travtls
around making speeches in favor of the elec
tion of Gen. Grant to the Presidency. Does
the General know that be is absent from his
post on such a mission!
Tim Dispatch admits that Senator Doolit
tle is " a good speaker," which is a great deal
for that paper, but objects to his "cry of the
Constitution." The Democratic parts it
adds, has been guilty of the awful crime of
bandying that word about " on all and every
occasion, during anti since the war." Shock.;
ing thought) Just to think what a "disloy
al" set of fellows they must be, to hold In re
verence a document that has been pro
nounced the perfgetion of 'human wisdom,
and which every officer in the nation, high
and low, is sworn to protect and obey!
Tun Gazette is greatly rejoiced because, as
it claims, the Radical loss In Maine is only
7,500 instead of 9,000, as we stated last-week.
Whicheter figures may be correct, the result
ought to be anything but encouraging to the
Radicals, whose constant harping over the
Maine and Vermont elections shows how
thankful they are for small favors. The vote
was the biggest ever polled in the State, and
a similar. loss to the Radicals, compared with
the vote of 1866 in this State, will give Penn
sylvania to the Democrats by 40,000 major
ity.
HON. Gso. RELSDLETON is to speak at
Pittsburgh on Monday next, the sth inst.
Our . friends there request us to urge upon the
Democrats of Erie county to get IP an excur

case a considerable delectation attend from
this section.' -
Tar. damage occasioned to the ReCd
House by the fire of last week was more than
most persons would imagine. Nearly all
the fine glass windows in the East end we?e
rendered useless, and it will require , the ex
penditure .of nearly a thousand dollars to re
place theui. The insurance companies, of
Course, will have to foot the hills.
IN the procession on Thursday was a re
presentation of the Ku Klux Klan, including
a figure with a human skull attached.
"Where did they -get that ?" asked one of
the bystanders. The reply was cruelly ap
propriate: "Oh, it is the skull of Key, which
Sickles carries around to loan out for such
occasions !"
Tun Girard Crisis came to us last week
enlarged to an eight column paper, as prom
ised, and brim full of interesting reading
matter. The title is illustrated with a pic
ture of the soldiers' monument at Girard, and
the general appearance of the paper is equal
to that of any of our local exchanges.
SENATOR WrLsos, of Massachusetts, wrote
that he would certainly attend the " grandest
gathering of the campaign," " Providence
permitting." As he failed to appear, we pre
sume," Providence" didn't permit. "Provi
dence" seems to have interfered •in every di
rection.
SICIATOR Doc:ll.mm. had four appoint
ments in Pennsylvania, after leaving
Erie
at Warren, Williamsport, Lewisburg and
Pottsville. His engagements in the West
prevented him from speaking more than a
week in Pennsylvania.
THE members of the Irish'National Demo
cratic club are requested to attend at...tus-.,
tin's Hall, on Saturday evening, to select the
necessary committees. Mr. Donahoe, of
Buffalo, a famous Irish orator, will make a
speech.
Tits State and county tickets will be prin
ted at this office by Thursday next, and per
sons in the different districts will confer a
favor by informing us-to whom they should
be sent in their respective localities.
A LARGE Democratic mass meeting is to be
held at Comieautville on Thursday next, at
which Hon. Heister Clymer and Hon. C.. W.
Carrigan will speak. It is expected that
half fare tickets will be sold on the railroads.
PERSONS who were summoned to attend

in our advertising columns, that they need

Wittu the Plantation Bitters were first
made known to the American people, some
seven years ago, it was supposed they were
an entirely new thing, and had never beibre
used. So far as their general use in the
United States is concerned, this may be true.
It is also true that the same Bitters were
made and sold in the Island of St. Thomas,
over forty years ago, as any old planter,
merchant or sen captain doing business with
the West Indies will . tell you. Itis distinctly
within my recollection that on the return of
my father, (who was a sea captain, and do
ing an extensive trade in the tropics,) ho
would invariably have the Bitters among the
ship's stores, and our gamily sideboard was
never without them. For any sickness, it.

Flexible Ilarrow," the right of which for this
County is owned by Capt. John H. Welah, and
find that I can accomplish one.third more with
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 Corn
and any boy large enough to drive a team can
readily and easily take It apart and put it to
gether again. I most cheerfully recommend
my friends and uaintances to buy this ma
chine, as I coasfder it altogether the best in
use. No risk is incurred by the purchase, as the
buyer will have ample opportunities of U-brig
before paying for it. I have purchased a Mar

LETr4tt FROM DR. JO= S. CARTER.
Hllving witnessed the operation of this Har
row at the trial on the land of Oen.
on the IBili of June, I have no hesitation in say
ing that I believe it to be a very superior imple
ment of its class, and quite worthy the Mien
lion of all who have occasion to use such en ar
ticle. Its flexibility—which causes it to adapt
itself closely to the surface of the ground, how
ever rough or uneven it may be, is a feature of
much importance, and one that distinguishes
this from all other Harrows. There are also
other peculiarities in its construction which
will be readily perceived by the intelligent far
mer, and which will doubtless tend,-ere long, to
bring it into general use. I have purchased one
of these Harrows for use on my land.
