We. are somewhat astonished to notice
that the Quaker city ot rhiladelphiu
puts forth a claim to being, not only the
greatest manufacturing city on this con
tinent, but, with the exception cf Lon
dou, the greatest in the world. Wo are
familiar with its advantages as a quiet
ar.d pleasant claim to be a great indus
trial centre, will be news to many. As
tlm nmttor is one, however, in which our
merchants are directly interested, and
the cousumers of goods indirectly, we

Dear AiIvochIc: Last week your
correspondent failed you owiug to the
fact of being " out ot sorts," lie will
try to do better hereafter.
Tho weather here for the past week
ha3 been exceedingly cool for this cli.
m.vto, just being cool enough to be picas'
ant.
In politics wo havo been rogalod
lately with news of a highly " paciiic "
character. Politicians assert hero that
the Democrats will carry the whole
ticket in this city; and if the fame
chango comes o'er tho spirit of their
dreams whinl; A4U)j hn poo.
plo of California, Maino and. Monlanj,
your correspondent has no hesitation in
asserting that there will not be a grease
spot of Radicalism left in this city.
California responded to Connecticut,
and Pennsylvania will but bo the re echo
of California's most noble triumph over
tho mongrel corruptionists.
Tho rowing-match which was to have
come off between IIammill,of Pittsburgh
and Myers, of this city, for 81,000 cre
ated fpuitc an excitement here yesterday;
and thousands repaired to tho scene of
action. They were, however, doomed
to disappointment. Owing to tho fact
of Hammill having objections to the
style of boat which had been chosen.
He, however, gave up all claim to the
stakes. Hammill is the nekuovledged
champion of the United States. He is
a man about 5 feet in height, thick set,
and with a cast of countenance, which
would not impress one favorably.
Tho Black Crook is now being pre
sented at tho Academy of Music. It
docs not meet with the success that was
expected. Tho fact is the people of
Philadelphia care more for tho legiti
mate drama, and have too high an ap.
prcciation for it, to allow such illegiti
mate representations as tho Black Crook
to drive them from their patronage of
the Arch, Chestnut, etc., where noth
ing but the most recherche dramas with
a good moral for a denouement are put
upon the boards.
But I am tired, and I suppose your
readers are also. So I will close.

Eacu day brings the time nearer
when the people will be called upon to
vote for a J udge of the Supreme Court,
and yet neither Judge Williams nor
his political friends enlighten the publio
with reference to his views on the sub
ject of repudiation. " This course is
unfair to the people of Pennsylvania.
A largo majority of the voters in this
State aro certainly opposed to repudia
tion. J. ney would not vote lor a man
who wished to disgrace the fame and
character of any portion cf the Common
wealth, if that fact was clearly Bhown.
Tho position occupied by Judge
Williams during tho repudiation move.
mcnt in Allegheny County, the fact
that ho was nominated by the leading
repudiators, aud that they are urging
his election, is sufficient to fix tho stain
of closo affinity with that parly upon
the candidato of the Radical party.
Judge Williams knows whether ho
aided or denounced the repudiation
movement. He could state in ten lines
bis opinion upon that important rjues.
ion. We have called upon him to do
so in order that the people may vote
understanding. But ho will not reply.
Under such circumstances the lauure of
a candidate to culiirhten tho public as
to his views aud opiuionsis equivalent
to a confession that such a disclosure
would confirm what tho pcoplo have
accepted as proven by circumstantial
evidence of the most conviuciug chara
cter. Aaiu wo call upon Judirc
Williams to givo tho publio his views
upon repudiation. Will he respond ?

NO. 733 SANSOM STREET.
Philadelphia, Sept. 9, 18G7.
To the Peoi'le of Pennsylvania.
The Radicals attempt to evade the
practical issues of the canvass and to
delude you iuto the support of their can
didates. They alone aro accountable for the
prostration of your business interests.
They havo deliberately sacriBced them
in order to place in the hands of South
ern Negroes, tho balanco of power in
the Republic and thus preserve their
own rule More than two years havo
passed siuco peace was restored, and we
still look in vain for increased products
from the South to aid us in paying the
interest on our debt; and lor uer prosp- j
erous customers to buy our woolen, iron
other manufactures.
Instead of receiving aid to pay our
debt, we are taxed to maintain a freed,
man's bureau and a standing army in
tho South. Instead of prosperous cus
tomers to increaso our trade, every busi
ness intest languishes.
Radical mismanagement, a negro
policy, and a Radical extravaganco,
weigh down our energies aud fetter our
resources.
Tho whole expense of tho War De
partment in 1800 was sixteen and a half
millions, whilst in 1807 it is estimated
by the Treasury at forty-seven millions,
both Jieiiuj period of peace . To givo
tho Negro the power to rule us, thore.
fore, costs the nation annually thirty
millions. Of this amount, Pennsylva
nia's share is at least ono-tcnth, aud
your industry must annually pay three
millions of dollars to support a policy
that closes your woolcu mills and stops
your factories.
In your State affairs, mismanagement,
corruption aud extravagance aro tho
rulo. In 1800, under Democratic pow
cr the whole amount of money appro
priated and expended, independent of
funded debt and vulttary expenses, as
shown by the Treasury, was nine hun
DREDAND NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND
dollars. In excluding tlie same
items, the Radicals appropriated and
expended ono million three hundred
nid scxeuty nine thousand dollars. In
1805, excluding the same items, the
Radicals appropriated aud expended one
miliion five hundred and nineteen thous.
nud dollars, aud iu 1806, excluding the
same items, they appropriated and ex
pended TWO MILLION8 AND ELEVEN
inousAND DOLLARS. Tho reports of
the Auditor General show these facts,
and prove that in six years of radi cal
RULE, YOUR CASH EXPENSES HAVE
MORE THAN DOUBLED.
The meu who have thus warted your
substance, prate of their loyality and
their socriiiecs, and would maintain
their hold upon tho publio treasury by
fixing your attention upon their Issues.
You are oppressed by taxation
through internal revenuo and other
machinery, (ks no othei people ever were.
It takes from you, your legitimate
profits and gives you no customers. It
compels you to stop manufacturing and
to discharge your workmen. Your
goods remain unsold and your operatives
suffer. Can you expect relief from this
grinding taxation, so long as these
enormus expenditures continue. Relict
can only come through economy in pub
lic affairs, a reduction in your expenses,
and tho discharge of corrupt and ex.
travagant officials.
It is their purpose to violate the
great principle, ' that each State has
the right to dctermino tho qualifications
of its own clcotors.' and givo tho negroes

TnE Journal of Commerce recently
publ ished a letter from a correspondent
in ono of tho Southern States, the writer
of which says : " If the politicians will
" only let the South quietly reconstruct
their soil, tho crops, instead ot being
worth four hundred millions of dollars
" per annum, will in a short time be
" worth a thousand millions ! Wha!
" we want, above all things, is peace
" Political anarchy is ruinous." This
is undoubtedly true. But the Radicals
will not allow peaoe to visi t tho South
ern States. They desire to keep up agi
tation. When one law is accepted by
the Soushern peoplo, they follow it
with another still more stringent and
exacting. In tho meantime, the pcoplo
aro denied representation In tho National
Legislature ; the labor system of ten
States is broken np and rendered com
paratively unproductive, and the whole
country menanecd with untold disasters
of a business and financial character.
The Radicals are determined to continuo
"political anarchy," although they
know that such s course is ruinous to
all the material interests of the nation.
This point is important in the present
contest. If Congress is sustained Ly a
verdict from the people, they will con
tinuo agitation to the ruin of business,
both Ncrth and South. On tho con.
trary, if the Radicals are defeated, peace
will be restored, and prosperity onco
