THE RESULTS OF ONE ADMINISTRATION
A RECORD FOR THE PEOPLE.

1t is one thing to boast of thrift and econ
omy, and another to practice these virtues.
when in power With the Democratic lead
ers it has always been the custom thus to
boast. but when they managed to foist them
selves on the people and achieve power, their
promises of economy where like their profes
sions Of patriotism, all false and trnftiess
In comparison with such men, the action of
Gov. Curtin, dnring his present administra-
tion, stands out ia bold reief, the evidence
not only of a wise course followed by the man,
but the proof OF enlarged statesmanship
adhered to by the Governor.
In two years Gov. Curtin sent into the field
nearly t,ro hundred thousand men, to aid in
crushing a causeless and wicked rebellion.
In one year he reduced the ordinary expen-
ses of the Government ninety fire thousand three
hundred and serenteen dollars, acually saving
that amount of money to the tax payers of the
State.
In one year he Increased the receipts from
ordinary sources one million, thirty thousand,
one hundred aud seventy sir dollars. This in
crease was effected by forcing payments from
the old debtors of the State-from men who
had postponed paying their honest dues to the
Commonwealth for years, and who imagined
they conld escape, and who would have repu-
dated their indebted ness, had it not been for
the sleepless vigilance of Andrew G. Curtin.
Tax payers OF Pennsylvania, the election OF
Andrew G Curtin, Governor OF the State,
will secure three years OF similar economy,
thrift and vigilance in the State Administra-
ton. Ii is for you to decide that election.

THE WAR FOR THE UNION.


" hat was Accomplished in one Week.
The suppression OF he rebellion is progress
ing with rapidty that cannot but be appre-
ciated by all trne lovers of peace. The record
of events of the past week is as follows
Capture Of Forts Wagner and Gregg. with
the whole of Morris 1sand.''
Capture cf Knoxville
"Capture of Chattanooga.
Flight OF Bragg's Army
sCapiure of Cumberland Gap, with ?, 900
rebel prisoners.
ssCapture of Fort Smith,
'sRebel Evacuation OF Little Rock, the Cap
ital of Arkansas"
To these may be added that the events OF the
week have sealed the doom of Charleston.
Surrender or destruction are the horns of the
dilemma from which the valiant propagators
of the rebe liion must now make their choice
quite speedily.
In an assault upon Sumter on the night of
the 9Th our troops were, however, repulsed,
with loss Of 80 killed. wounded and prison
ers. This viii only retard he final result
for few days. The rebel stronghold must
fall ere many days.

LUDWIG SSYDER.-In Victor Hngo's great
work, Les Miserables," is described the out
break of 1882. The author depicts, in glow
ing language, the commotion that prevailed
ou the 5th of June in the streets of Paris--the
uueral procession of General Lamarque-the
display of military-the throng in the boule-
r4ris-the anxious faces peerng out of win
dows-the halt of the hearse at the Bridge of
Auslerliiz, and the remarks of Lsfayette-the
appearance of man on horseback, dressed in
black with red iag and the predictions shouts
which hurst from the multitude. The hook
then goes on to say
'S6rn- yopng men, amid the cheers ~ the
throng. haTncssed themse Ives, and began TO

Snyder. who afterwards died ccntenarian,

ANOTHER SHOT FROM THE ARME
The soldiers Of Illinois and Indiana are
boiling over with rage and indignation at
the disunion peace proposals OF the Copper
heads in the Legislatures ofthose Suites. An
officer ofa cavalry regiment writes, Saying,
Our regiment will unanimously agree to
cxtcn d their term Of enlistment twelve
!" months, for the privilege Of being sent
"to Illinois ono moEth to help cut the
"throats Of the Internal Copperheads who
"arc opening tlre-in-the-rcar on us. The
"Dcmocrats in our regiment are even
"maddcr at them than the Republicans" !"
In another column We print the outspo-
ken and patriotic resolutions Of the brave
and loyal sixty~secoud regiment, command
ed By Col. True. Like the name ofits gal
liant Colonel it is true-blue 10 the old flag.
Thercgiment is now at jackson, Tenn.
The sixty-secord was raised in South.
eastern Illinois. Two-thirds Of the officers
and more than half the men were Demo
Gratis when they enlisted. But so far as
known there is not Copperhead on the
muster rolls. All the officers who were
with the regiment at the time the rcsolu
tions were prepared, signed them and or.
dcred them published. Many of the names
will be recognized as those Of leading, re-
spcctcd. and influential Democrats in the
counties from which the came.
TIE sentiments expressed BY the sixty
second Regiment reflects the universal voice
Of Tic Western soldiers. There is 4 fearful
reckoning in store for the Coppcrheads,
when the volunteers return home, after the
war is over. Tic Fate Of the Blue Light
Fc1eralists Of the War Of 1872, and Of the
Tories of the Revolution, await them.
They will be scorued and Stunned while
living. and e1ecraled rs vile wretchcs,
