PuiiAfELPIiIA
To THE DEMOCRACY OF PENIS.4IYLVANIA :
You have fought a good fight.
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. Can Congress by law, exclude or admit
what States it pleases from voting for Presi
dent?

ting its statement of the vote in thelTousi3 to
'be Correa, and the question one of any im
portance, the' tiazetee's figures show that
nearly as many Republicans as Democrats is
that body were instrumental in filing the
gold standard of interest.' 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.
And that it maybe seen that Democratic
'members of Congress who voted for the gold
interest are among the present leaders of the
Democratic party—even the very men who
to-day lead the greenback interest—and "one
currency for all" movement r -we append

PEACE, PEACE!
"Let us have peace."

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? Is it the way to soothe the South ?Is
it the way to bury resentments in the North ?
Is it the way to insure impartial, equitable,
fair and noble dealing from one end to the
other of this republic ?
No
Is it the way to intensify and perpetuate
hatred, so Out' peace shall be no longer pos
sible. _
"Let u have peace "
By, all means. There is need enough. Let
us have a solid peace. Let us h4ve a just
peace. Let us have'peace that will be en
during. The nation 'has been on the rock
long enough. The„ cut-throats have ruled .
long enough.. The homes of this great, bud
have been filled with anxiety
.and sorrvv.
long enough. •The hard earnings of the sons
of toil have been stolen Tong enough. There
goes up From the cotton fields of the South,
from the golden prairies of the West, from
the fertile fields of the diddle States, and
from the mountains of the EN, one wild,
earnest, despairing cry Of peace. Thereintni
up from the gulches and slopeiof the Pacific,

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.

eighth day of our lourney we reached Green
River, a fine stream of 'water of a dark green;
color,from which the ricer derives its name.
Here Ni`e found another railroad town, Green
River City, though,, 'far in advance of the
rag, a large
,and promising settlement. A
walk about town convinced tis that Its pros
'parity, for

doubtful fou'adation, gambling httintea tuid.li

FORT BRIDGER.
On the 11 th day of August we .readhed
-Fdrt Bridger, one of the finest posts in the
western country. Fort Bridger was located
at this point In 1859, and Is situatedon Mack
Fork, a fine stream of water running through,
the center of the parade ground: ..The old.
mountain guide, In whose lienor the fort is
named; is, still living ,in this ' vicinity, a
wealthy and -respected. citizen. :',Scattered
around - the Fort are numerous' types of the
Smoky Indians, who are ranked among the
friendliest. • Their friendship was gained by
coercion, they having tested the power, of the
white man to avenge wrong doing and feUnd
Lim abundantly able. They are to-day ex
isting on terms of peace, a living example of
• the only, feasible plan for keeping titer red
man under control. , •

for the first time the domestic life of the fol

two wives, the eldest 'some forty-five years
,and the youngest
,bordering on thirty. 'All

the two ladies who had the honor of sharing
the affections of onc`man, and I must say
that they seemed very content and happy,
the elder seeming more the mother of the
younger than an cgnut partner a thr , house

Leavibg this happy hually we pursped our

our present camp, as tine a situation for a
three months' residence as we could wish.
A short distance from my tentis a fine spring
of cool water, proving most acceptable to a
thirsty man these warm and sultry days.
The adjacent hills abound in rabbits and
grouse, while a ride of half an hour brings
us to the Muddy, whose waters abound with
mountain trout. A fine string of those
delicious fish have just been brought
in, twenty-five in number, the smallest one
weighing one pound. What pleasure would
it give us to deposit a few specimens Within

vote of 1806 was 3,051, and in 1868 it was

years of 180, showine a DemOratie gain

be redeemed from Radical rule. Our Radi

yet their majority of Tuesday, the 13th, was
more than one hundred less than that of
1806. We say to Democrats do not be dis

A PROCLAMATION
In the year which is now drawing to its
end, the art, the skill and the labor of the
people of the United States have been em
ployed with greater diligence and vigor, and
on broader fields than ever before, and the
fruits of the earth have been gathered into
the granary and the storehouse in marvelous
abundance. Our highways have been length
ened and new and prolific regions have been
occupied. We are permitted to hope that
long protracted political dissensions are at no
distant day to give place to returning harmo
ny and fraternal affection throughout the re
public. Many foreign States have entered
into liberal agreements with us, while na
tions which are afar off, and which heretofore
have been unsocial and exclusive, have be
come our friends.
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. . .

REMA/t&A.BLE DETECTION,OF A . 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. HarringtOn is under arrest, charged
with murder in the first degree., •
.Tern Cincinnati Times is answerable -for
the follbwing: On the first day of April, .at
evening, the door bell of it Cincinnati mer
chant rang, and on the steps was found a
basket with a beautiful baby in it, end a note
signed "Cora," addressed to the man of the
house, saying, that as she was unable to sup
port the child without his aid, and as heWas
tO nearly 'related - to it as she was," the babe
Wits sent to him for good treatment and edit
cation. 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.
