THE OCTOBER ELECTION.

Takes place two weeks from last Tuesday.
The campaign has slipped away so quietly that
some do not realize the fact of the election being
so near at hand
Two weeks is but short time to work Re
publican reader ! Is your district thoroughly
organized Has it been canvassed Do you
know your friends from your enemies and are
you fully prepared to bring out the Republican
vote
Do not shirk these questions and turn them
over to your neighbor or some one else, but an
swer them yourseif, If you cannot answer
them affirmatively, consult at once with your
political friends and do what has been too
long left uudone.
The great secret of success, in politics as in
war, is in organization. Providence helps the
heavy battalons SO Napoleon said, and be
had some experience in that matter. A scat
tered army, without head, never yet won a
battle and never will. Success lies within
our grasp, at this election, but it can be won
only by straightforward, practical, organized
tcork. See to it, in time then, friends, that the
one thing needful is not waiting.

ARE YOU ASSESSED.

The law requiring electors to be assessed
ten days before the election Saturday, Sept
%, will be the last day, and it is time that
some attention was directed to the matter
Look to your own names Republicans, and then
those Of your neighbOrs Let not a vote be
lost by inattention to the assessments
1t should be known that to entitle a man
to vote at the coming election, it is necessary
that he shall have been resident of the State
one year, and of the district or township where
he offers his vote, ten days aud that he has
paid State and County tax which was asses
sed at least ten days previous to the day of
election
Young men, however, between twenty-one
and twenty-five who are qualified in other re-
spccts are entitled to a vote without payment
of any tax.
AID for the persons who have once been
voters in the State and removed therefrom and
returned a residence of six months in the State
Is sufficient but in all cases where the payment
of tax is necessary, it must have been assess
ed ten days previous to the election.

ANDREW G. CURTIN.

The enemies of the Republicans party, and
consequently the foes of the best interests, the
progress and prosperity of Pennsylvania, are
devoting their entire force and fund of false
hood to the injury and impeachment of Andrew
G. Curtin Failing to appreciate the energy
and indomitabe courage of the man, they can,
not fully comprehend the perseverance with
which he is contesting the election, nor can
they understand the zeal and enthusiasm with
which he is welcomed in every part of the
Commonwealth. They hear of his success in
the North, and sneeringly attempt to combat
it with assertions Of his unpopuarity it the
West. When he passes through the West,
eIcIting the admiration of the people of that
locality, bis opponents proclaim his weakness
in the Ea5t-but there again they fail, as he
is welcomed by the people, and recognized in
the metropolis Of Philade phia as the defender
OF their rights, and the advocate of all their
interests. The friends of Henry D Foster are
dismayed at these evidences of the popularity
and strength Of Col. Curtin and therefore seek
to arrest his progress by Strewing his path with
all sorts of unmauly faIsehoods, bitterly com
planning, the while, that the Republican press
retOrt with the truth against Foster, corrobora
ting their assertions by the fairest reference to
the record
No candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
since the days of Simon Snyder or George
Wolf, ever presented fairer name, o more
spotless character, than that which Andrew
G. Curtin presents to the people Of this State.
And the people understand and appreciate this
presentation of ability and integrity. They
have had the opportunity to Judge for them
selves within the past two months. Along the
Schuylkll and the Delaware, in the North and
the West, through the counties of the centre
Of the State, Col Curtin bas been challenging

ARE THE VOTERS READY ?

But few days now intervene before the
October election Are the voters of this
County aware of the great Importance of sue
cess on the second Tuesday in October? We
urge upon our friends thus early to make pre-
parations for a FULL VOTE In the strong
Republican towns of the County, there is great
danger that the votes will not all be out Let
arrangements be made TO poll every vote. Your
opponents will net lose an available vote We

their admiration by the boldness with which
he enunciateS his convictions and the perfect
fearlessness with which he defines his position
on all the questions affecting the prosperity OF
the country and the interests of the Common
wealth he is destined to govern. He is OF
Pennsyvana-for the protection of her inter
ests and the elevation of her labor, for the
development of her resources, and the main
teGance of her power and influence in that
confederation of States TO whose past glory
she has contributed large share, and il whose
present strength she dispenses a most import
ant influence Because this is true, the eenemieS
of RepublicauiSm turn all their batteries on
Col Curtin. Because he is brave end perse-
vering, enthusiastic and determined, frank in
the expression of his opinions and unhestatng
in the avowal of his preferences, the press sup
porting the desperate fortunes of Foster, con-
vnced that they are degraded by their divis,
ions, seek to drag down to their own level all
who boldly stand up in defence of Penusyl-
vanas real interests, honor and glory.
October will demonstrate the popularity Of
of Col Curtin through his election by ma
jority of Twenty Thousand. The result is
already fixed fact in the conviction and de-
termination of the people of Pennsylvania.

broken from their pasture At the approach of the

to the bridge and were into by the engine before

PENNSYLVANIA THE BATTLE GROUND.

The Democrats appear to have abandoned
all hope of carrying New York, and Pennsyl-
vania is now the object of their attention. They
will concentrate all their energies upon it,
lavishing what money they have to spare, to
carry it, and will try to re-enact the scenes of
1850. Pennsylvania is to be the battle
ground Of the campaign, and the great struggle
will take place in October, over the election
for Governor
1t is well, therefore, that our people are ap
prised Of the fact in season Now that they
know it, they will have the greater incentive
to work their hardest for success in the pre-
liminary but decisive contest.
Much, if not most of the money contribut-
ed in New York to corrupt ana carry Pennsyl-
yania, will be spent in Philadelphia. Fortu-
nately for the friends of Freedom, however,
things are not now as they were in 1856
Then, ever officer in the State House row was
a Democrat and it was consequently easy to
issue forged naturalization papers by the trunk
full now, every officer but one, in that row,is
a Republican and that game is blocked. Then
too, they had all, Or nearly all, the election
officers, the Republican party not having been
organized until after the choice Of those Of
fcerS, and it was perfectly easy to make eec-
ton returns to suit the necessities of the party,
now there is representative Of the Opposition
party in nearly every election precinct IN the
city, and that the party has the coutrol of a
majority of them. In addition to this, law
of last winter gives them full power to prevent
frauds at the election, if they choose to exer,
else it, as they will undoubtedly do.
In this view of the case there is not 50
much reason to dread the advent of these
mercenary Democratic politicians from New
York, who go upon the principle that every
man has his price" particularly every man in
Pennsylvania.
On the other hand it will be of great ad-
vantage to the Peoples cause, if it stirs up, as
it should do the workers Of the Opposition to
watchfulness and zeal. All that we need now,
is activity that insures our success.
We not only can, we must, elect CURTIN i'll
October He has gallantly and triumphautly
borne our standard throughout in the State,
and we must not see it stricken down in his
hands We owe it to the cause to elect him
by an overwhelming majority, and he is no
true friend of LINCOLN who refuses both to
vote and to work for CURTIN
Friends The election of CURTIN will effect
ualIy settle the November contest. Our sue
cess in October will deprive the enemy of all
hevrt for the Novembr; fight. Up, then, and
to work with a will, and all the more eagerly
that the enemy has acknowledged his weak
ness by recourse to the last resort-the cor
rupt use of money.

By The Prince of Wales on Thursday
evening, at Detroit, experienced very decd-
ed foretaste of the receptions which await him
in his brief tour through the United StateS.-
He reached Windsor at Soclock, and went on
board the Detroit aud Windsor ferry steamer
Windsor, where he was received by the Gov
ernor OF Michigan, the Mayor ard Councilmcn
of Detroit and number Of prominent citi-
zenS When the steamer reached American
waters, the Mayor welcomed the Prince, as
Baron RENFREw, to the United States The
river and the city presented a magnificent
spectacle the steamers and other vessels iu the
former being hung with yaregated lamps, aud
decorated with banners and emblems, and the
latter being spenddIy Illuminated. Rockets
and other fireworks were let off continually,
and the river was blaze of light, the whole
forming the grandest display witnessed by bis
HighnesS during his Soiurn in America The
crowd was so dense at the landing place that
it was found impossible to form the procession
which had been arranged to escort hi-2 to his
hotel, and after several Intellectual attempts it
was found necessary for him to enter private
carriage and proceed through by-Streets. His
suite followed him shortly afterwards, escorted
by the firemen of Detroit The enthusiasm of
the crowd was something tremendous, and
found vent in cheer upon cheer Friday, after
drive through the city with Mayor, his pro-
gress being impeded at every step by enthuSi-
astic crowds, the Prince with his suite pro-
ceeded to the Railroad depot and took his de-
parture for Chicago, where, after somewhat
tedious journey, he arrived at l-2 o'clock in
the evening Here, as at Detroit, an immense
concourse awaited his arrival, though through
the admirable regulations of the Police, every
thing was done decently and in order"

ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE /!

We are satisfied that the proper spirit is
aroused amongst our Republican friends to en-
sure q full vote if the proper means are not
neglected 1t should be remembered however,
that it is impossible to poll every vote without
great effort There is class of voters, who
cannot be got to the polls without being visit
ed and brought out The most efficient way
to ensure fnll poll is to appoint School Dis
trict Committees, whose business is to see that
every voter is assessed, and on hand when the
day of election arrives In many of the towns
this has already been done. We trust our
Republican friends, where such action has not
been taken, will delay no longer.
Have your Townships thoroughly organized,
and Committee appointed to take charge of
each School District, who will attend to their
business, and see that no voter is left behind
on the second Tuesday of October. Such ac-
ton will give US a rousing majority, and aid
materially in the election Of Curtin, and the
victory to follow in November.
