iT PHILADELPHIA, Oeptv loCh, 1900,
EDITORS P1oNEER-Dear Sirs:: The
news from Maine, showing the election of
Hannibal Hanlin for Governor, by a
largely increased majority, fell like a.
thnndcrbolt into the ranks of the Sham
Democracy, and spread dismay through
all their borders round about the city
The handwriting upon the wall, they be-
gin to read with an unmistakeable dis
tinctness. The Pennsyl0anian, the organ
of the (" Platformists, sends up daily
"shrieks" for slavery, as if the g Union"
instead of the rotten party it represents,
is about to tumble to pieces. This cry of
" disunion," which is, like the idiots,
"full Of sound and fury, signifying no
thing raised by these traitors to the
doctrines of our fathers, is as selfish and
false as it is insane and idiotic. The I'm
ion is safe, insepara6le-but the party
which labels itself" democratic" snd has
staked its fortunes upon the unlimited ex-
tension of slavery, is not safe. 'Tis DOOM
ed to destruction, and like all basely cor
rupt organizations, will fall to pieces by
the weight Of its own baseness and depravi,
ty. The safety OF this, and not the Union,
is what these shr;ekers fear and the re-
suit in Iowa, Vermont, and Maine, show
their fear is well grounded After the
fall elections, this democratic party will
only be known as a thing Of the past, save
| in the land os scourges and whips, whence
all its life and vitality now come.
The Republicans feel confident that
Fremont will carry Pennsylvania. Yes
terday salute of two hundred guns was
fred in honor Of the glorious victory in
Maine. The victory there will accomplish
very much here, and has already effected
result greatly to be desired-the union
of the friends of Free Kansas in the Qua
ker City. There are, SO far as the State
Ticket is concerned, at least, but two par
ties in Philadelphia. The same may be
said, too, of fmany counties on this side of
tke mountains, as we'll as of the counties
on the other. In the very nature of
things, the antislavery sentiment of this
State, as in Maine, Iowa, and Vermont,
mast cohere. The outrages in Kansas
the murders, robberies and arsons COM
mitted there, connived at and sanctioned
by the overshad dowing swickedness of this
Administration. endorsed by the one that
,0ould be, must, in the Providence Of God,
overthro,o and damn it. The spoilers hold
upon power will surely be broken, though
it may cost :" the most precious blood OF
all this earth - to accomplish it. The
g Platformists 7" are becoming desperate
mad, and savagely vindictipe. AS an evil
dence of this, witness the late bloody rem
contre between the friends Of Fillmore and
the Platform at Baltimore, and the break
ing up of Republican meeting in the
same city, on the evening preceding
The, conflict is no longer one between ri
val parties struggling manfully for tri-
umph ofprinciples, in the great arena of
political strife, but it has come to be bat
tie between the people and spoilsmen-
between the enemies of Freedom and the
Union, and the fast friends Of both. =
The Americans in this city are deeply
incensed at this unholy and bloody sacri-1
ice of their brethren upon the altar of
shamocratic conscription. They will not
submit to these sacrifices of their friends,
but will forget past differences and strifes,
and make common cause with all who are
