thing is not speedily done to tighten the
awful misery which this mob has brought

". Y. Times.
The attacks which were made upon the
poor negroes during the recent riots were
altogether unjustifable. But they are the
legitimate consequence of the Abolition
policy; and the best way to "lighten the
awful misery which has been brought
upon the colored race, and the white pop
ulntion also, is to get rid of the Abolition n
party rs soon as possible.

THE Philadelphia North american, in
speaking of the riot in New York, said,
"we owe nothing to Democratic leaders
and newspapers" While the history Of
the past few days proves that the leaders
ofthe Democratic party struggled with all
their pSwer to suppress the riotous demon
strations in New York, the record of the
past few years clearly establishes the lact
that the inccndiary aud infammatory
teachings of the Abolition leaders and
newspapers originated the present fearful
disregard OF law and order which prevails
throughout the country.

FASHIONS EXTRAORDINARY.

The daughter sits IN the parlof,
And rocks in her easy chair;
Shes clad in her silks and satins,
And Jewels are In her hair;
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And simpers, and giggles, and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than sho thinks
Her father goes clad in his russell,
And ragged and seedy at that;
uis coats are all out at the elbow
He wears a most shocking bad hat.
He's boarding and saving his shiilings.

While she, on her beauI and her poodles,

Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint
Remains Of her last nights blushos.

Reasons for Opposing Wood
ward.

WOODWARD, the Copperhead candidate
for Governor, is opposed to allowing our
brave soldiers vote. Any man who dares
peril his life in defence of the Govern
ment is considered by him and the party
he represents as being totally unworthy of
havinga voice in the control of that Gov
ernment. The moment man shoulders
his musket, no matter whether it be in
the defence of the National Capital or in
protection Of his own home from invasion,
that moment, contends MIR. Justice WOoD-
WARD, he becomes, to all intents and
purposes, foreigner Under the old
Democratic regime, the Southern Slaves
were represented in Congress under the
new regime, which Democrats hope to
establish, our armies are to be debarrad
the privilege. With such record against
WOODWARD and his party, will any sol.
der or the friend of q soldier vote for
him for Governor
No father who has son in the army,
entitled to the exercise of the franchise,
can vote for GEORGE w. WOODWARD,
because by the decision of the said WooD-
WARD, all who enlist and peril their lives
in defence of the Union have been dis
franchised.
No son who has father in the army
can vote for WOODWARD or LOwRIE,
because the joint action of these men put
the American soldier on level with the
American slave, deprivlng him OF his
manhood by denying him the glorious
privileges of freeman.
No adopted citizen, who has any love
for the home of his birth or who is really
devoted to the land of his adoption, Will
vote for the Copperhead candidate for
Governor, because GEORGE w. WooD-
WARD has constantly, industriously and
persisteptly labored to deprive all foreign>
ers of enjoying any of the political ri ghts,
immunities or privileges of American
citizenship.
On these points GEORGE w. Woop-
WARD stands fairly convicted on the

Destruction, Of FEr. Stevens Fur-

a correspondent of the Tribune writes
from lancaster:

MIA. destroyed the extensive iron works in
Adams county, owned by the Hon Thad

made report to Mr. Stevens Of the doings
of the rebels. and the manner in which
they destroyed his property.
1t appears some personal enemy aud
rebel sympathizer took special care to in
form Gen. Jenkins that Mr.. Stevens had
three very 6ue saddle horses Soon after
the enemy had eucamped on the premises,
the rebel general demanded of the mana
ger the delivery of the horses, which he
described, and which the manager had
hidden away. After some parleying, Gen
Farley said if these horses were not
brought forward he would burn the
entire works to the ground ssDo under
stand, then" said the manager, "that if
the horses described by you are delivered,
no further damage viii be done to the
establishment Z" General jenkins replied
in the affirmative. The horses were pro-
duced and taken away by the General
This occurred on tuesday, the 23d of

rendered the administration their supper.
aud CO operation in crushing the rebellion
aud restoring the Union. Many of them, like
HALLEcK and DICKINSON and BUTLER
and BURNSIDE and SHEPLEY, have proved
their professions honest Where are the
leaders cf The so-called democratic party
to-day? Engaged an giUing all the aal and
conafor: IN their 1Do,ccr to .he rebels. This
is the plain, unvarnished truth, and it is
time it should be boldly proclaimed. The
so-called democracy of Pennsylvania,
stands upon this platform. A vote for
GEORGE w. WOODWARD is a vote for
JEFF DAVIS and rebellion and against the
administration, the Government and the
Country.
The democracy of Pennsylvania to-day
would rejoice to see Washington taken by
the rebels, and JEFF. DAVIS put in the
W hite House and declared Military Die
tator over the whole country. The proof
is found in the fact that they are pledged
by their Convention, if WOODWARD is
elected Governor, to withdraw the Penn
sylvania troops from the Federal Army, a
policy which would place the lives of all
the citizens and the property of the whole
North at the mercy of that prince of pi-
rates, JEFF DAVIS. Here is where the
Pennsylvania democracy stand, and upon
this platform they are to go through the
coming campaign. The leaders of the
Pennsylvania democracy are traitors. We
denounce them as traitors, and posterity
will denounce them as traitors. They are
enemies to their country. If they had the
manliness and courage to go down South
and enlist under JEFF. DAVIS, and take
the chances of war in fighting out this
rebellion, they might possibly command
some respect, but instead of this they are
sneaking round here in the North, froth-
ing and raving against the Government,
the Administration, and the laws, and
ventilating their vulgar profanity and
treason in the presence of the loyal men
engaged in efforts to crush out the rebell-
ion. The leaders of the WOODWARD
democracy are a nest of traitors, and
richly deserve traitors doom.
While our brave sons are in the field,
sacrificing the comforts of home and the
society of friends, and many of them lay
ing down their lives to save their country
these miscreants at home are in full sym
patty with the rebellion, affording ii all
the 'aid and comfort" in their power
Could these traitors be struck out of ex-
istence, this war would not last sixty days
The last lingering hope Of the JEFF.
DAVIS conspirators is aid and sympathy
from the northern democrats If this was
they would at once give up.
Let the cry of docn ,oith the northern trai-
tors ring throughout the land.

A little Plain Talk about Dem
OcraCy.

The time was when it was an honor to
belong to the democratic party 1t was
once patriotic party organization, stand
ing by our common country through veal
or woe, bravely defending the old flag
against internal, as we'll as foreign foes
1t was the party of 1872, which war
secured to US our national rights, and
guaranty that our hardy and heroic sailors
ehould be free from arrests and imprison-
nent into the British service. After tEe
heresv of secession entered the head OF
John G. CALHOUN, and he determined to
seize upon the slavery question in order to
unite the South against the North, he
and his followers very well knew that if
they effected their reasonable designs, it
would have to be done through the agency
Of some party organization. The old
democracy was then strong in might and
power, and it was then determined, by the
secessionists of that day, to operate through
that medium, conceaiing their real designs
as far as possible from the public eye
Col. BENToS's sagaci'y detected the plot,
and more than thirty years ago he warned
his countrymen of the dangerous intentions
OF the CALHOUN conspirators. But the
people were slow to believe that statesmen
protesting SO much patriotism could have
concealed beneath their bosoms such dead
" treason. Time passed on. The Catl-
lines Of the South watched with intense
interest every movement having a political
hearing. Secession, and a disruption of
the Union, was in their eye continually,
Notwithstanding al. this the people were
little aware Of this atrocious plotting against
the government and the Union. 1t was
but short time before the secession
leaders in the South obtained i controlling
influence ia the democratic party. They
began cautiously aud by degrees to dictate
its policy. They knew very we'll, that If
sll their obnoxious measures were to be
forced upon the North at once, the people
would rebel against them and the party
would ba overthrow ; hence, stealthily
they opened their plans and from year to
year strengthened their outposts, fortified
their positions and prepared the way for
the inauguration of final and complete
rule or open armed rebellion. The
defeat of the Wilmot Proviso, the repeal
Of the Missouri compromise, the introduc-
,ion of the Leeompton swindle and the Dred
Scot decision were all leading measures of
.he democratic party, dictated by south
ern leaders aud nequiesced in by the
northern democracy. Failing to obtain
all they demanded at the Charleston Con-
vention, the secessionists split the demo-
cratic party in twain, to permit the election
Of LINCOLN, and then turned round and
made this an excuse for inaugurating
rebellion. When Sumter and the old flag
we're fred into BY the rebels, the democratic
