You have polled a larger vote than over before ; have reduced the Radical majority of 1866 by nearly one-half, and have proven the immortality of your principles and the vitality of your organization. Radicalisth has carried the State by means of the grossest outrages ; by openly and cor ruptly buying thousands of voters; by driv ing from the polls foreign-born citizens reg ularly naturalized many years since ; by re jecting the votes of thousands" who were legally made citizens in the Court of Nisi Prins; by violating and trampling upon the seal of that Court—a recognized symbol of the law; by deterring legal voters from ap proaching the polls through threatening pea allies for imaginary offenses; and by the des potic and unscrupulous use of power by election officers in Radical Districts. Under the specious charge of fraud upon your part, Radicalism has perpetrated the vilest frauds. Thousands 'of voters have been colonized, paupers assessed, and voted, repeaters hired and voted five times in Rad ical precincts, returns of election altered and manipulated to suit their own purposes, and fraudulent naturalization papers• Issued by the ream. In the contest just closed you have learned their capacity for violence and wrong, you have tested the strength of their organization and discovered the weak points in your own. With the experience thus gained in the achoel of adversity, we will go forward to victory. The enemy are yet to be taught that 'out rage and fraud, violence and wrong cannot be perpetrated with impunity ; they have yet to learn that you are neither dismayed nor demoralized, and that in the . pursuit of the right you know no such word as fail. Arouse the people once.more for the con flict. Bring to the polls every Democratic voter. For right and justice give back right and justice For outrage arid wrong return the Dill measure of swift retribution. The work to be &one is no holiday sport. It Is the last battle for the salvation of the Republic, the preservation of the Constitu tion and the supremacy of your race. Work and fight as men engaged in such a fight should work and fight. By order of the Democratic State Com mittee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE, G. JOSEPR F. 'KNIFE, a gallant soldier in the late war,.has been defeated for Con gress in the Dauphin district by a stay-at home man armed Packer by a small majorl-. ty. This shows the honesty of the Radicals in their professions of attachment to %sol dier. 110 N. HENRI' D. Fosysn has been elected to Congress in the Westmoreland district, over John Covode by forty-one majority. "Honest John," hoWever, is dissatisfied, and true to his former profession is to contest the General's seat. Result,, another smelling conupittee with a large bill of eipense the taxpayers, but before .they get through theymay wish that they had let out the job, as the evidence will prove that a large ma jority of illegal votes were cast for the Radi cal candidates. Trim course of Ju'nice Read, of the Su preme Court of this State, has been such as to detract from 'the high estimation which we usually attach to the Supreme Justices. His undue haste in giving. an extra-judicial opinion before a case was brought before the Court, and the prompt concurrence therein of Judge Williams, who is not yet a member of that Conrt, but who seems to be in such a hurry to bring his name before the people, will at least not add to the character of those individuals.' Osz of the "trooly, loll" men of Georgia having recently stated in the Georgia Legis lature that one hundred and sixty negroes had been killed in Stewart county, in three months, the Coroner thereof certifies that for the last two years there have been . but fiye persons killed and ono drowned. One ne gro killed his wife, one by the Union League, one *hlte man killed by the Sheriff of Mar lon county, and the other two the jury did not know who did the killing. JUDGE PrertPorrr and A. T. Stewart, the ,merchant millionaire of-New York, sought to achieve immediately by sending to the treasury of the Republican club checks for• twenty thousand dollars each to help to elect the Republican ticket, when 11. T. ffelmbold, the patent medicine man,_proMptly offsetted this by sending his check to G. W. Langley, Esq., of New York, for forty thousand dol lars to be used in furthering the election of Seymour and Blair. In the accompanying letter Mr. Heimbold put some very pertinent questions in regard to the Wpublican finan cial platform whiCh: will puzzle the other parties to answer. RCDSTIONS NOR RADICALS TO AN SWRIt. 1. Can any State, once being SL.member of the Union, dissolve her relations with it ? 2. If so, how and by what means? 8. Were Texas, Virginia and lassissippi ever members of the Union, and entitled to all the privileges of the other States ? 4. It they were, when did they cease to belong to the Union? 6.gr Texas, 'akin* and, by thefrordinances of secession, put themselves righttilly out of the Union, by whit right did we make war upon them to return to it? 4 .lfTexas,ruginikand Mississippiiirenow members of the Union, how is it that Con gress, in 1882, when they were at war with the Federal Government, uslgned them Cob gresarnen and Presidential Electors in pro portion to their population? 7.

The bill pasied the Senate by Republietin Totes and Waa'aigneti by a Republican President, sboring;the main resionsibility for its adoption to rest upon the shoulders of that party!) • DEtfoCnATtO Vartns, you approve the law that makes the Inter est on the National Debt payable in gold ? Will you Tote to sustain the party that, made the interest pa yable in gold? . Do'you know what party.it is that made the interest payable in gold? Did the Democratic party in Congress make the interest payable in gold ? If you answer either "no," or 'don't know," to the last, question, we ask you, as men wishing to be intelligent and truthful, to, read these indisputable official records prov ing that the Democratic party, through its members of Congress, made the interest pay able in gold. ' • February,6, 1862,1 he House of Represen tatives, at Washington, passed'a bill author izing $150,000,000 Treasury (greenback) notes, and making them a-legal-tender" for all debts and demands due the U. S., for all salaries, &C., due torn U. S., and for all debts, public and private, within the United States. On this bill, all the Democrats in the House, hut sir, voted No. Bear this in mind. The bill went to the Senate, where it was amended so as to make those notes a legal tender for all demands to and from the Uni ted States, "except for interest' upon bonds and notes, which shall be paid in coin. The vote (February 20, 1862) on thi.4, was as follows : For gold interest. For Greenback in terest. . 45 Democrats 43 Republicans Majority for gold interest 31. The two Democrats who voted in favor of greenback interest, were "war Democrats"— Joseph Bailey, of Pa., and Thos. E. Ncell, 'of 310. The other forty-five (45) Democrats present voted to make the interest payable in gold. These figures show that -Ist., The Democratic party in Congress voted en masse against paying the interest on the National Debt in greenbacks. 2d. - That the Democratic party in Con gress voted en masse for paying the interest on the National Debt in gold. Sd. That as the majority in favor of gold interest was 33, and the Democratic vote for gold interest was 45—the Democratic vote for gold interest was as large as the majority, and 12 votes larger. 4th. That, while more Democrats' than Republicans voted for the gold Interest-27 timesmore Republicans than Democrats • eted Tor the greenback interest. sth. That while 22 times as many Demo crats voted for.gold as for greenback inter est-12 more Republicans voted for green back than for gold interest. Bth. That if even one-half of the Demo crats had voted against the gold interest, it would have been defeated. 11. h. That the Democratic party is there fore far more responsible than the Republi can party for the law making the interest payable in gold. Bth. That every Democratic orator,paper, or voter, which charges the Republican par ty as responsible for the law requiring pay ment of gold interest to National bondholders —lies, wilfully and disgracefully. • 9th. That the only way to censure the party which made the interest payable in 'gold, is to vote down the Democratic ticket. 10th. That the present brazen impu dence of the Democratic lenders—in charg ing that the gold interest is a Radical meas ure, is without a parallel in the record.; of political dishonesty. 11th. That every vote cast for the Dem ocratic ticket counts as an endorsement of the law making interest payable in gold—for that law was passed by Democratic votes in Congress. And now as a matter of reference the full official records of the facts upon which we predicate the above conclusions, will be found in the Journal of the House of Representa tives, 2d sees. 37th Con., 332 ; or Congress ional Globe, 2d sees. 37th Con., part 1, p. 900 ; or McPherson's Political History of the Rebellion, p. 358.

Why then should we elect the General of the armies, to the Chief Magistracy ? Is that the way to ensure peace? Is that the way to erase the soul harrowing memories of the war?

CITATILOTTE, N. C., July 80,1868. To ad Editor of 1 4e Nero York Citizen. SIR :-411 your Ivo of the 18th inst., ap pears the following paragraph : "Ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina, said in his speech—or is reported to have said, and has not contradicted the report— that what the Confederacy fought for would be won by the election of Seymour and Blair,' adding that 'secession is notdead: his more alive than ever.' It there _be any truth in ibis - story, we set down Vance as work ing for the Radical ticket even harder than Mark M. Pomeroy in his La Crosse Demo crat, a paper, the immense energy and rough talent of which we have no disposition to deny." I desire to say that there is not one word of truth in this statement. I made use of no expression In the remotest degree like it. The reports of the speeches delivered en the occasion referred to, were all very meagre, but none of them, I believe, attributed such a remark to me. Not only did I' not utter such sentiments is my New York speech, which l i suppose to be the one alluded to, but / have never on any other occasion done so.- I never was a secessionist, and only fought during the war at the command of my native State, and to resist a policy of cmrcion and consolidation worse and more ruinous by far than secession. My denial of the truth of the statement is made made just so soon as - your paper con taining it meets my eye. Very respectfully - your obedient servant, •• ; Z. B. VANCE. .

It has been truthfully remarked, that the old man had measured well the public. lie bad calculated the capacity of the lines he had to fill, and he knew what each one would hold. The public have not changed much. While one man tea& a moral essay, a dozen will drown his voice with laughing over an absurdity. A majority of the peo ple don't take the papers to learn ; they take them to laugh, to enjoy the music and 'mirth of a hearty guffaw ; they want something to provoke it, and that something they must have or they won't take the paper.

The annual period of , rest which we have reached In health and tranquilityond which is crowned with so many blessings, is, by universal consent a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and prac 'deal public devotion. I therefore recommend that Thursday, the 26th day of November next, beset apart and observed by all the people of the United, States as a day for public - praise, thanksgiv ing and prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of thb universe, by whose over watchful, merciful and gracious guidance alone States no less than families and indi vld►ssl men, do live and move and have theft' being, -•- In ekriOm whereof, I have hereunto set my beW and caused - the seal of the United States to be affixed. . .

MIL7RDFTWn —An inquest of three days length, held •in consequence of. a murder of 'a most percher nature, terminated at Toledo ; rn Thursday: On Monday morning the body of a murdered man was found in a lonely, place on the east side of the Maumee River. An Inquest be leg held, a young man by the name of Hai rington voluntarily plrented hireeself, and testified to the identity of the.body as an ac quaintance of his, and that he Was the last person wrth the murdered man on the night preceding the murder s " On account of some irregularity lulls testimony he was detained, but other evidence was brought forward, practically amounting to an alibLL-1 O 4 Wednesday night pleas - .4 - paper, Which had evidently been firedfrom a gun, were found on the Riot where the body was discovered, and these.pieces were found to fit exactly white tom paper that was taken from Harrington's room. ',The detectives ..who made this discoitery gave their evidence before ,the inquest, and a verdict *as found that the deceaSed was murdered by Harring ton. The name of the murdered man was Sharpe, and he formerly lived in Hyannis, Mass.

The appearanceof the child, and'ex ,tittordinary:note; profitioed a domestid pCepe more easily conceived than described... The husband fell on hie knees,, protesting by all the Saints that the child was net . his; while the wife as earnestly protested her full belief that it was his, and nobody's but his. • In the midst of these protestations, thej husband's eye chanced to fail on the. &WY cradle of his own babe in one - cornerof the room, and the whole thing 'flashed at once On bim-,—and he was sold, perfectly sold ; and declared at once that he would father the child and any other that his wife Might 'charge him with. lIIISORPOZEIENTATION OP THE SOUTH. Hon. B. 11. liill r of GeOrgia, bas written a letter to the New York. Times, in which he thus notices the diabolical system of sustain ing the Radical party by fomentinesectional hatred: •. ":. "I shall return home ‘a mortified if-notit wiser• man." Mortified only because I find in the North a bitter, systematic, adriot and persistent misrepresentation of the temper, desires and views of the Southern whites, far exceeding my anticipations. I have stood in the fight and been the target of this kind of warfare before. It was practiced by many of the Secessionists in 1860. The people of the South will comprehend my meaning when I say that the plan of misrepresentation is practiced here with a shrewdness, a persis tence, and in a manner to excite distrust and sectional hate to an extent unknown in the South in the most intemperate days of seces sion. The very same means that were em ployed in 1860 at the South to. Induce the people to leave the Union, arc now employed at the North to keep them from coming back to the Union. •The South did have cause of complaint against the North, for their inter nal affairs had been persistently intermeddiecl with.. But the South does not now, and never has desired to meddle with the inter nal affairs of the North. The Smith concedes to the North what the North denies to the South—the right to regulate the franchise, each State for itself. THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEHATION IN THE NEXT CONGRESS. 1. 'Samnel J.
