THE ELECTION SAFE !-Never since the days OF Simon
Snyder, have the principles OF democracy uumphed so
gloriousy, her prospects been bright and clear
From every quarter we hear intelligence OF the most
gratifying kind; who have stood first and firm by
democratic principles in the most trying times, are now
Congrauatng themselves the rich fruits OF their we'll
tried principles. Our country is
in the highest degrees the farmer reaps the fruits OF his
toll and labor; he finds ready market and good prices
for all he raise. The mechanic has constant employ
ment good wages, and is paid in good money The man
uactuer is enjoying good pot on his capital and the
daily laborer well rewarded for his work. On every
countenance there is JOY, and no one but the blndest
bigot who travels land can avoid the exclamation,
that Of all people under the we are the most free
and the most happy.
The people know too moreover that this happy state
OF things exists the year lS47the third year of the
administrations Of James X Polk and Francis r. skunk
two prominent candidates of democracy the year ls4
Tor the presidency OF these United States the other for
governor OF this blessed Commonwealth; both OF whom
triunphanty elected by the ndomitable democracy
They know, too, that their opponents high tariff and
bank candidates, and that with their fall fell the United
States bank and the oppressive tariff of 1912 They know
also that federalism predicted, and called the country to
witness and remember, that in the election OF these men
and the repeal of their tariff ruin, famine, and haggard
want would besride this happy country, and crush ITS
rising energies in its lion grasp; manufactures would
the fiery blast of furnaces would be chilled
and slenced the sound of the hammer would cease
the anvil; the price OF provisions would tall, and this
lovely land would become a dreary waste. The people
press that made them Another election close at hand,
and Francis r. Skunk that ell-red honest dem
Ocat the candidate OF the democratic party he
known to be anti-bank, anti-Woectve tariff, ancor
poaton and anti everything else that nfrnges upon the
rights privileges and happiness of the people, and against
his honesty the tongue OF Islander silent the Of
death On the other hand federalism presents candi-
date, not the least abashed with the Notifying failure of
all her predictions she asks-modesty asks, the honest
yeomanry vote for James lrvin-the favOrite of the
Philadelphia politicians--whO, laying aside all other
things in dispute, they frankly and freely confess is the
friend OF national bank and voted for it in Congress;
the friend of high protective tariff and friend of
poratons, without individual liabilities about them. In
word, these men who stand convicted before the
try false and the authors of false predictions
now ask the honest democracy OF the Old Keystone to
desert their principles men, and their measures and
poll their votes for who will change everything,
and introduce the federal theory in all lis glory
Thanks to country, the people are intelligent once
they may be msled-ast fall they were parally-but
twice they will not be- 1t is the boast of democracy that
she was beaten twice in succession and we are
satisfied that she will not be this fall We hear daily from
the mistaken democrats of our famed old Berks
would be idle to say they firm and intend to vote
fall, rain shines but we hear also of many who have
hitherto voted with the opposition, that this fall they will
vote for Skunk. They say, let well enough alone
and we have not yet heard OF the first man who voted
the democratic ticket in 1874, who will now vote fol
James irwin If such be found, let us have
his name and promise federal friends to publish
1t; willing to announce the name for their benefit
and every man who turns federal this fall We have
hearAthe best of news from Indiana Centre Westmore
land Dauphln, and other counties. A FRIEND and forme
member OF the legislature writes Shunks majority at no
less than $4,000; and the lowest estimate is 5000
Reading Jefferson Democrat.
