IAN honest man the moblcst work Of God"

'Au honest man the m0blCsi work Of God"
We take the following from the Philadelphia
Public Lcges which fully exempliies the sonti-
ment Of Col Johnson at dinner given him By
the citizens of Harrisburg, Pa. The sentiment
reads thus:
"1He adopted Etshmdn--A good and honest
man wherever you find him."
The Lcscr says "a singular case of honesty
took place this day, which ought to be made
known to every body and serve as an example.
A poor journeyman baker lost his pocket book,
and advertised it in paper, stating that 1t
tanned from Sl1 to SIS, and an order for Groceries
to the amount of 81. Mr.. Robert Doyle, an Irish
man, private Waterman between 4th and 9Th, in
Market street, returned it, but with $50, conse-
qucntly 81 more than the loser knew himself
Robert Doyle lives in Johns Court, between
Market aud Arch Street, and is President of a
Democratic Association, called the "O'Connel
and jackson Hickory Club" numbering about
$50 members, May every member be as homes,
as is their presiding officer"

early on Saturday morning, with a terrible cXplo-

which settled down in the chasm made by the cx-

We have been favored by u friend with the iol-
lowing extract from letter written ny gentle
man in New York to an OM Connhyman in Pc
ru, which we take pleasure in laying before our
readers. The letter was dated August 81, 1910.
II trust.you are making good use of the
.'Truth Teller" which contains Mr.. Rey-
nolds' Letter to his Constituents.
"Illinois has done well, and we shall
cndeavour in November next to rccipro-
cate the compliment by giving strong
vote for Van Buren, and kicking out the
Wing Gov. Seward, who has so ungc-
nerously endeavoured TO tampcr with our
adopted citizens through their religions
feelingS--thus cndcavoring to connect
politics and religion, and introduce that
horrible state of feeling and party that now
exists in Ireland.
81 have every reason TO hope he will
be signally foiled in his infamous attempt.
No good American citizen but ought TO
wish to see Inn out of office. do not
know any thing SO pregnant with evil as
the attempt to introduce religion into poll
tics ; and shudder to think of the conse-
quenccs to our children if such scheme
were successful. In truth, the Wings, or,
rather, to give them their true name. the
FCdcrallsts, are reckless set of uBpriu-
ciplcd politicians, and, like their proto-
types, the Orangemcn of Ireland, they
care not what are the means, provided
they gain their ends. They are now bu-
sy in building log cabins, and buying up
as far as they can, illegal votes, and drin-
king hard cider, not at their oacn cspcnse,
but at the expense of British Spectators,
with British money sent here for the pur,
pose, and should Harrison unfort6dstelv
be elected, all the wise and prudstssmea.
sures of the Government which are now
only beginning to work, would be ihwar-
ted, and ruin would inialibly overtake us.
Paper moncy--lresh spcculations would
commandments would be incorporated,
and all the evils of bloatcd paper system
would come upon us. AS for us adopted
citizens, our fate would be sealed. A
repeal of The naturalization laws, amount
ing to a prohibition of ever becoming citi-
zens--a qualification law for those in the
country, and, to crown the whole, we
would be marked as a distinct race of be-
ings for the scorn of others.
81 trust in God, however, that the de-
mocracy of the United States will remain
firm, and true to their interests as well
as their principles, and by decisive vote
fling back upon the Tippecanoe actors,
clowns, singers, and performers the hum
bug they are endeavouring TO pass off up
OH democrats. have no reason to doubt,
Notwithstanding all the money they are
spending, that Van Buren, will poll lar
ger vote than he did last presidential cleo
