Whichever party caused the war, is the party with which the tesponsibility for these things rests". In 1860, the Demooracy, defeat ed at the ballot-be" resolved to with draw itself. from 'Atte control ,of, and fealty to the United States Government. - United States forts and arsenals were seized by- them, ri large and •• powerful army organized', with the.avowed purpose of enforcing at.the point of the_ bayonet .and at the mouth of the cannon the right cation an secession open, avowed, 'and overt rebellion, and it was the clear and unmistakable duty of the Government to put it.dovvii. The effort was a long and bloody ono, lasting through more than four years, and 'cost ing the lives - of hundreds of thousands of patriots and.thousands of millions of dollars, and oven - after the war had closed, the conduct of the'rebel Democ racy was of so violent a description that it was necessary for the proteotiop of Union citizens to keep in their midst a standing army, thus greatly increasing the expenses of the Government. What then are the facts 7 They are these : The Democrtia party involved the country in she War, and in so doing gave to the northone million of widows and orphans; took the lives of three huS dred thousand as brave patriots as the world ever knew ; crippled for life three hundred thousand more; expended three thousand millions of - dollars, and Owed. upon the country the necessity of paying the - annual - interest upon the same: This great debt was therefore created to put down. a Demeeratic•rebellion„and, therefore, is that party directly responsi ble for the burden of tpxotion now im posed upon the country; and, also, is it responzible for the high prices of all the necessaries of life; and, yet in the face of these facts the journals and orators of this party have the hardihood and inso. lence to charge the responsibility upon the Republicans. Even lioratio Bey- moor, in writing to his friend C. M. _lngersoll _of Now Haven, under date. of July 24th 1868, says, " They (the Democratic papers) must push the debt and taxation • upon public aiteetion." Mr. Seymour says his friends have plunged him into a sea of troubles, and if he expects to get out of it by urging - his / party papers to "push the debt and taxation upon public attention," we think be will be greatly deceived. The people ha - ve not forgotten„and never will forget that it was he and his—friends-that—made the necessity for the creation .of this .very delu . oxid - the consequent: taxation. The np.rt• the public is reminded of it, the iti“ - ! . • itrovly will Mr..

These are facts, qnd well the people know them. Nor have they forgotten these other facts, that the Republican party saved the nation, that it is the only party that is pledged to equal rights'for all—poor - and rich, ignorant and learned, weak and strong—and it will restore peace and pros perity to the country, while the Democ racy is pledged to revolution and repu diatcti, 'omore blood and - more debt, and to the consequent grinding down of the poor and the ultimate 'ruin, of the country!. - _ - _ Governor Geary. Governor Geary has been making quite an extended campaign tour through the Western part of our State. In loss than a week he delivered some sixteen speeches to large and enthusiastic au-' diences. , We learn 'from our exchanges that his addreesea were everywhere re ' eived with applause, and tilak he did much to convince many wavering Demo crats that the only way in which we eau se cure lasting peace and prosperity to, the' country, is to °loot GRANT add COLFAX by a majority_so overwhelming that' we' shall no loner hear of rebelAietationv or Copperhead threats.

We are prepared for a similar result in Maine, some nine days hence, and for correspond ing republican successes in the October State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio - and Indiana.

They had a splendid opportunity offered them in July to flank the republi etins,„and in admirable_ candidate nt their service in Chief Justice. Chase, a candidate competent to carry off the republican bal ance of 'power in State; but the *National Democratic Convention threw this golden opportunity away and fell back into the old apperbead gronves of their Chicago anti war and Southern rights expounders. Not only was the Chase movement of the pro gresssvo democracy leouted by the Tamma ny Convention but rejected se treacherously and contemptuously as to drive over at once to General Grant every honest and indepen dent supporter of the claims and cause of the Chief Justice. Half a million of votes were thus stupidly thrown away. We mny say, - too; that the tortuous course pursued by Mr. Seymour to secure his own nonitnation by pretending that ho did not want it, and by professing to be the chief engineer of the Chase movement l by speaking against Pen dleton's platform and then accepting it—has diminishedlhis friends and increased bis en emies oven in his own party camp. Cer tainly by withdrawing as a candidate end by declining and protesting and professing, and then by accepting with tears in laiseyes, what he had denounced, and with all the affectations of injured innocence, he has ad ded nothing to the general public estimate of his character as a scheming politician. His nomination gave no strength to his cause; but when coupled with the platform of Pendleton on the finances and of .Blair on Southern reconstruction it became a dead weight to his party.. It changed the whole complexion of the political field. It was a Movement backward,'not only to - the demo cratic situation 0f1864,rt back to the con stitution 'of).800 and the outhern expound ers there'd'. Pendleton on the finances may be more than halt right; but coupled with Bleir's.letter on reconstruction the position occupied by SoymoUr as the „democratic candidate is accepted by the Union party of the war4is an appeal to the , ballot-box against - Grant in the battle-field.

In conclusion, the political situation from the: standpoint of the :Vermont _election teems to be this: In the nomination of Grant by the 'repnblicans ,they did much' towards placing-this Presidential contest on the issues ofthe war for the Union, and the temo'crats have done the - rest, in their tick.; et tiled platform, and in, their leaders and meringue, :journals and orators conducting the CIIIIVaBB, From all the, signs of-the times, therefore, the Presidential election of 1888. will be a repetition' of the election of 1864.

Capt. J. D.:ADAIR, Mr. SA'MIIDL ENS-. MINTER and ann. J. M. ALLEN wero ap pointeJn,committoo to escort COIN JORDAN to the Hall. During the absence of the committee, on motion of W. F. SADLER, Esq., a eommit tee'of five was appointed for the purposo of reporting permanent 'officers for a GitANY and COLAX Club to be organized to-mor row (Saturday) evening. The committee consists of W. F. Sadler, William Vance, Sainuel Ensminger. John Boslor and James Campbell. Col. F.'TORIMN was then announced, and having , been introduced by the Chairman, pr6ceeded to deliver one of the most inter esting and.convincing arguments it has over been our good fortune to hoar". Going bacic to the origin of the party in '5O, ho carefully -and succinctly - - reviewed — its - history up to the present moment, proving-Indisputit bly that it was the party of loyalty, pro gross and good government, and that it stood to-day upon the same broad• plat form of universal justice, truth and-lion or, which has ever characterized'it. On the other hand the spurious Democratic part4has beon_the.party of ono thing. to-day and an ontirely different ono to-morrow. In TonnsylVanift - and Now York it, is the "white man's party,'" while in Georgia and South Carolina, according to its journals and orato__,rs "the Democracy have ever been theitrionds 'of the black .man and aro - that ho shall have the right to vote." In reviewing the New York, Wade Hampton-Pendleton platform, Col. JORDAN fully exposed the tricks and traps in - which _that document -- aliodffil.S. In showing how utterly false and `con temptible Democratic professions are, lie instanced the plank in their platform which declares for "equal taxation for all species' of propprt3 , -.". The records -- show - that - up to the year '66 Cumberland County Was paying a tax up,cin real 'estate aniount, ingin rdund'nurisbers to $35,000 per annum In 1866, the legislature- of Pennsylvania, -finding that under' the previous years of 1I rule the expenses of the State and its funded - debt bad been sufficiently reduced to admit of the entire abolition of State taxation upon real estate, abolished it, and since that time bur citizens have not paid one dollar of State tax upon that ' , species of property." The speaker_ . yery__aptly_and 7;. l"f 7 tli n CT - pertinently j_nquit le v ipthor_the___Pßmpc, racy proposed, in the event of succoss upon thiS New York 'platform, to re-impose this $35,000 per annum upon our Cumberland County farmers and property owneric, in -order to ;'equalize taxation upon all species of property." The speech was a succession of just such telling hits as this, and we ven ture the assertion that every man present who was honestly desirous of learning the truth, left the Meeting on Saturday night feeling that the only safety for our govern ment and country is in the election of Grant and Colfax.
