ROBERT B, LIEATH, of Bahl.Cylkill WHAT 'IS TO BE DONE -- AND WHEREFORE. - TGo ,Yatinteir, afi in days of yore,; opens the campaign with ' the bugle call for a charge. It desires the DemoCracy to win, and for that reason it wants MC- Candless and Cooper elected. It calls on every one. to rally, _ and do everybody ' to, push on column for various rea sons, which shall be glv%en in its words. "PUSH ON THE COLUMN, then, all yo who are opposed to the, liing can didates placed in nomination by the joirit influence of Simon Cameron and Grant's obsequious office-holders. Lot the people elect to the positions of Audi tor .and Surveyor General men who will discharie their duties in the interest of the State, and riot in the interest of the State, and , not in the interest of a cor rupt political ring." We aro not aware that the Republican candidates were nominated by the joint influence of the office holders' of the President and Senator Cameron. • On the contrary, neither of these eminent gentlemen cared who were nominated, provided they had the qualification's nec essary WAR . the office, and could com mand the confidence of the people. The men nominated by' the Republicans,' were chosen for their fitness and availa bility, and for nd other reason whatever. But oven had their • nominations been dictated as aforesaid, wo think all san men will admit, that the men chosen .y such influence, Would bo in as good a position at least, as those nominated by the dictation of Bill MthMullen, Johnnie Ahern, Bob Lester Smith and Sam. Jn sephs, who notoriously controled the Convention that nominated McCandless and Cooper. If these fellows do not constitute a political ring, and if they are not corrupt, then we- don't compre hend what rings and corruption °are. But - to the next blasts: "PUSH ON TIE COLUMN, young mon, and let your voices and your votes mingle with the voices and votes of the old fathers who feel that k their taxes have been squandered, that 'a set of po litical vampyres might bicome rich. Young men I—especially you who, in October, wily vote for the first time, think well hefore,you cast your ballots ; and--- , We feel satisfied you will assist to thrSle the men who have revelled in luxury at the expense of. a tax-ridden We don't quite understand all this as applied to Pennsylvanian politics. If any Republicans in this State have be come rich, it wasn't at the expense of a tax ridden people, for a Republican ad ministration took off nearly all the State taxation from the people years ago, and now propose to remove all that is left. If it refers to National affairs, wo suspect that the party whose treason was the cause of all the taxation of the country, isn't just in the shape to ask either young men or old to join it in order to secure honesty. or reform. But there is miffta of it like this : "PUSH ON THE COLUMN, work ing men, you who represent the brawn . and musble of the State. Yon must know by this time that the bioated shoddyite, the man who has bebome suddenly .. rich-- by pandering to the devilish sentiments of devilish men, can have no sympathy with you. The Demo cratic party has ever been watchful of the interests of the hard-fisted working man, and we have a right, therefore, to ask the man of toil .to stand by our candidates this fall." Well, who are bloated shoddyites ? The Volunteer can't surely mean, Asa . Packer, Franklin B. Gowen, and those other monopolists who have only lately been doing their utmost to oppress.anfi defraud both rich and poor, in order that their untold wealth might 'be doubled. We believe these gentlemen are Demo crats, and will help push on the Volun teer's, column with the " sinowsof war," which they have filched from honest labor. And when was tho Democratic party watchful of the interests of the hard listed laborer? Was it when they sproitfi slavery over three-fifths of the area of the Nation, and thus hemmed free labor up in the small remainder? , Was it when they voted to take away protection to American industry, t 2 stop our furnaces, and allow • our vast resources to remain undeveloped, in order that they might make the rich men of other countries richer, while our laborers starved. God help the brawn and muscle of the State, if ever a Dethooratic policy is allowed to rule it. The Southern States have boon for half a century purely Democratic, and what a paradise that section hap always been for poor mon I—But "PUSH ON THE COLUMN, all who are opposed to the Radical schema of giving -- away the' public lands to rich corporations.• Democrats advocate. the policy oCfilviditig these rich • lands into convenient farms, and then selling them at a nominal sum 'to the poor man who yearns for's home for himself and fam ily." • : Radicals gave away great quantities ofland to corporations it is true. This was done in order that great lines of railroads should to built, which would emplOy thousand and tens of thousands of laborers in their Constrnotion, and bring untold wealth and. prosperity to ovary section ef, tho country. Tho lands wero valueless to tho nation until those railroads aro cninploted. They would have been just as worthless had they 'ikon parcelled out.to,indiVidual settlers, and would have remained so for a 9 7 tury‘toi come. It was giving away just what was ofno use to keep, and what no One would tiny., giving them away has, enriched the country . , and added to the 'Chances of the prosperity of every man in it: But - theFßadicas did more.Fiore than ton years ago, they gave min Fltlcl3 Cal', 160 acroki . of laud to every man who ,would go and'!ettiO on it, and vary lately thoy gave the linr9o quantity to every soldier, without requiring settlement.

Does any - Democrat feel aggrieved because theneW made voters prefer to vote, for ono of their own color to him ? It is not possible that any refined specimen of the Democracy would consent to represent this inferior race. And they don'Aappear to hurt Congress very much, at least our neighbor didn't appear to be troubled on that account a year ago. There aro col- . ored foreign Ministers at colored courts, and surely the 'Democracy wouldn't im pose on any white man the degradation of, going as Minister "'to some negro country and kneeling while he .presented his credentials to a negro sovereign. Oh, no, this thing's about right.: This' car business, .however, is pretty nearly con temptible. A negro man, strong scented Or otherviise, can't demand, a seat in a lady's car, as every man who has, brains enough tO read An Act of-Assembly knows, and it is nearly,tile_ for Demo cratic politicians to quit repeating suph an absurd falsehood. But here is More "PUSH ON THE COLUMN, one and all who favor equal taxation, and who are opposed to the policy of relieving rich monopolists, and placing the heavy load of taxation upon the farmer, the mechanic' and - the working man. Lot every man be taxed according to his ealth, and thus make taxation equal." Since Republicans have ruled this State, nearly every, particle of tax has been taken off the farmer, mechanic and working man, and placed right on the monopolists. Nearly the whole-revenue of the State is derived from the-tax on corporatienti, while not an acre of ground in the whole State pays a penny. Un. der Democratic rule it was just the other• way. - Don't the Volunteer know Allis? - We propose to push on the column. We Will keep the old Keystone in the hands of the party that has given full political rights to every man in her bor der ; that has fed and educated the or pliankof her soldiers ; that has fostered and improved her educational system ; thailias relieved hercitizens of taxation; that saved her property from being stolen by corporations, and that is rapidly pay ing her debt.' In order to do this pm propose to beat McCandless, Cooper and I the whole Democratic party. PUSH ON THE COLUMN. THE Democratic Convention, nt• Har risburg, " resolved" Itgain4 the intro. duction of Coolie labor. The is to be the talking plank, to catch tho votes of tiled:001-61 . g .men. This is all right— in itself, but from the past conduct of the Democracy, ilt would hardly be safe to entrust them-with this'Coolie, question. For quite a long series of years, that party, kept slavery alive, atql did its utmost to extend it into every inch of the territories of the ,Union. They had no fears- then that it Was working des truction to the interests of free labor, dud weren't at all auxihus about pro tecting -the laboring class. As a party,. they never fail to work against any pro tection whatever, to American industry. This day 'they would, if they had the power repeal every tariff in existence, and expose the American laborerS. to competition with the developed indtiB 7 tries of the old world aided by its pauper labor". And yet these follows have the impudence to attempt to take up the cudgel for the working class, and enlist their sympathies by.erying out against the coolies. Thisja too transparent to de ceive our working men. They know their interests aro safest in the hands 9f the party that has eradicated „slavery?, and has protecp . ftr labor always from foreign competi ion. SINCE the meeting of the Democratic Convention, it has become necessary for the editors of that party to drop the g! nigger" in their editorial allusions, It will cause lively swearing, among the "typos" in their establishinents, to have to handle so many additional type, in spelling out the, words necoisary to de. signate colored people, which they form erly set up with so much .zest in six letters. Well, the boys will learn it after whdo, and they may console them selves with the idea that their ontstors have expended more profanity over the innovation than they can possibly do, no matter how much they try. _ litawiTusTeurnNo am many rumors concerning the proposed changes' , in the Cabinet at Washington, It is now an nounced that there will be mo,changes made during _President arant's present Tkdsis right and proper.

INTERESTING MISSIONARY ADDRESSES. —Rev. Dr. Butler's addresses, delivered in the First M. E: Church, on Saturday evening and Sabbath afternoon last, were full of information concerning the re ligious condition of the people of India. The first lecture had special reference to the women of India, whose deplorable temporal and spiritual condition calls for the earnest sympathy- and assistance of their inure highly favored sisters of Christitin America. The Dr. said that to Christianize India, we must Christ ianize her women, for they are the groat teachers of idolatry Hindooism, while it deprives woman of the power to bless, does accord to her the p ,wer and righ Lo curse ; and thus the poor ignoran idolatrous mothers of India, do much to counteract the work of the Christian Missionary.
