GAS STovEs.-The use of gas for cooking
has become quite common, especially for
light work, and stoves for that purpose are
now for sale at most of our stove stores. The
rage for gas stoves has also extended to heat
ing stoves, and we now find rooms warmed
quite comfortably from one common gas
burner few evenings since We called upon
Mr.. Hafer, the patenter of the celebrated
Cone Radiator Stove, and we found his room
at the Island City Hotel quite comfortable,
from little bit of gas stove he had just
manufactured, on the principle of his patent
Call and see it, and you will be convinced
that gas can be proftably used for heat as
well as light.
MIR, Hafer's patent is winning golden opin-
ions every day.

To the Democracy or Pennsylvania
The events of the last political canvas
arc yet fresh in your minds.
You announced your unequivocal en-
dorsement of the restoration policy o
Prcsiden, johnson, and denounced the doc
trine Of negro suffrage.
Your opponents affirmed their supper
of the President, aud evaded the issue up
on the question OF suffrage.
A powerful organization, large offoia
patronage and an unscrupulous use of mon
ey, secured to them the victory.
The record of The past month strips the
mask from the face of the victors.
They treat with derision the declared
policy of the President They have placed
tho Government Of the Constitution in
abey ance, and its legislative aud executive
functions are usurped by cabal of meu,
who, in obedience to Caucus, govern the
nation through the forms CT a directory.
The right Of each State 10 regulate the
qualifications Of its electors is denied the
will Of the people Of the District Of Colum-
bia is overriddeu, and by an almost unan.
imouns vote. The Republican party in
Congress and the State Legislature accord
to the negro equal political rights with the
white man.
The initial step toward war OF races
has been taken, and a consolidated gov.
ernment looms up in the distance.
The tenets Of the President upon these
points are our cardinal doctrines. In
sustaining him we vindicate them.
Organize in every nook and corner Of
the Commonwealth.
Organize to sustain the President, tc
maintain your princiges, to restore Tie
Union, to vindcate the supremacy OF your

men who have been false to the Union

Of their blood, and true alone to their mad
ness that rules The hour.
