Tho Political Situation.

As the season advances, the people in all
sections Of our State are becoming more and
more interested in the political contest which
is now in progress. Undoubtedly the ad-
vantage ground will be hotly contested the
faction that now rules the Commonwealth
will strive vigorously for a continuance Of
its supremacy, and those whose highest
hopes are In the peace OF the State and the
prosperity of the nation will have ample op-
portunity for activity and vigilance. Those
who calculate upon an easy victory do not
correctly discern the signs of the times. 1t
is undeniable that in Pennsylvania the sol
id sentiment is Democratic. The mass Of
her people have too much latent love for the
old Union and for the prosperous time that
accompanied It's administration, to be duped
into support of a revolutionary faction, with
out the exercise of fraud. Even this favor
able condition Of the public mind does not
necessarily indicate successful termination
of the canvass, for that fraud will certainly
be brought into use 1t is impossible for a
miserable faction, the child of misrepresent-
alton, led on by the worst men Of the ma
ton, to move itself In any direction without
carrying with it It's native fetid atmosphere
of corruption and disorder.
There is success ahead, but nothing other
than the most thorough watchfulness and
vigilance can cause 1t to perch upon either
standard.
The people have had thorough com
mencement of Abolition rule, with Its reign
of terror, its taxation and its oppression
If it seem savory to their nostrils let them
bow their necks, till the g fire-eaters' of the
nation saddle the yoke upon them.
Not only has the contest IN Pennsyl lvania
great interest to our own people, but the en-
tire Union, from Maine to California, stands
watching the conduct of Pennsylvania, and
in her action theywisely see the future des-
tiny of our great Republic.
Pennsylvania must change her record, or
abandon her claim to precedence among the
States of the Union, and she viii change.

How to Become Unhappy.

In the first place, if you want to be miser-
able, be selfish. Think all the time OF your
self and of your own things. Don't care
about anybody else. Have no feeling for
any one but yourself Never think of enjoy
ing the satisfaction of seeing others happy.
but rather, if you see smiling face, be jeal-
Gus, lest another should enjoy what you have
not. Envy all who are better off in any re-
spect than yourself think unkindly toward
them. BE constantly afraid lest some should
encroach upon your rights be watchful
against it, and if any one comes near you,
snap at him like mad dog. Contend earn
estly for everything that is your own, though
it be not worth pin for your rights are
just as much concerned as if it were pound
sitiye. and take everything that is said to you
in playfulness in the most serious manner;
Be Jealous of your friends, lest they should
not think enough of you and if at any time
they should seem to neglect you put the
worst construction upon their conduct you
can

The Louisville Journal and the
Democratic Party.
FREEPoRT, H., July 29th, 1866.

The Louisville Journal, for third Of q
century the able and consistent opponent of
the Democracy, now, in the present aspect
of affairs, makes the following confession Of
Democratic faith. 1t says:
eve heartily indorse, so far as We have
seen. every platform laid down by the De
mocracy in the North, Middle, Western and
Northwestern States. We are for the OBJ
liberation of the Freedman's Bureau Bill
everywhere; we are for the disbanding of
the last negro soldier; we are for the cessa-
ton of all military law and the universal
restoration of the great writ of freedom );
we are for theannulment of all confscations; /;
we are for the equal powers and rights and
priveliges of the whole people of the old
Union; we are for the unconditional pardon
of all the paroled Confederates who have
kept their faith we are for the immediate
unlocking of the prison doors of all prison
ers held in captivity upon the charge of trea-
son; and we are for the re-establishment Of
the Republic upon the plan which our noble
President has recommended and is exerting
all his energies TO carry out. If TO be in IA
vor of all these things is to be Democrat,
then We are Democrat, an earnest and
jealous Democrat, all the time Democrat,
and ready to cooperate with all who are
willing to cooperate with us.

andrew Johnson on Tariffs.

The New York Ecening Post quotes An
drov Johnson on tariffs as follows. In a
sneech against the tariff of 1912, Mr.. John
son said:
at is a departure from the principles of
equity to tax the many for the benent OF the
few, under the plea of protecting Angrlcan TI
labor, as is done by the tariff OF lo42. lie IN
sisted upen it, that while Congress was con-
s;derino the interests of the manufacturer, 1T
had no right to neglect or forget those oil the
agriculturist, as high protectionlsts were
notoriously too apt to do, and rephed to Mr
Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, by Sc
ries of circumstantial details, showing that
SO far as protection applies to protecting
mechanics proper, there is no reality IN 1t !;
for if all are protected alike, the protection
paralyzes itself and results in no protection
at all. Protection operates, said he, bene-
ffcially to none, except those who can man
ufacture in large quantities, and yend Their
articles beyond the limits OF the immediate
manufacturing sphere.
Onposing the same tariff Of 1912, In the
House ofRepresentatives, he said:
Sat the head of the taxing power STANDS
the General Government.
"It taxes almost every thing we cat, drink,
wear and use,
1ueSc Id&cS3 anu cliiliOoO
ers, are imposed on US through an lnstru,
mentality of a tariff of duties on imported
products and merchandise. The whole
amount paid however, does not go into the
treasury of the United States. The tariff OF
duties increases not only the price ofimport,,
ed articles, but of articles of similar kind
manufactured or produced within our own
country and while the Government obtains
revenue on imported articles, the favored
manufacturer and producer obtain an equal
revenue on their fabrics and products It's,
in effect, a partnership between them and
the Government to get money out of the peo-
pie.
''The time has now arrived when the peo-
pie, the laboring people ofthe country. must
inquire into these things more minutely than
they have hitherto; the expenses of the
Government must be reduced the people
must be relieved from their burdens; re-
trenchment and reform must be begun in
good earnest. /, for one, though the hum
blest Of the peoples representatives, will be
found voting against and speaking against
| this oppressive and nefarious system of plum
dering the great mass of the people for the

Inc hepuDucan State Cehual OOHlUllVee
of Illinois has received the following from
its late Chairman
FREEPoRT, H., July 29th, 1866
Gentlemen After a careful review of the
political situation of the country, / feel that
justice alike to you and myself requires me
TO resign the position as Chairman OF the
Republican Union State Central Committee.
Professional engagements rendered 1t i'm
practicable for me to be present at your
Meeting held May 18th, when the call was
made for State Convention. Soon after
the call was published, wrote JAS. p. Root,
Esq, Secretary of the committee, pointing
out what ] regarded as an Objectionable re-
striction, hereby large portion of the Re
publican voters of Illinois were excluded
from participation in the Convention.
The manifest design of that call was to
exclude those who approved the President {
plan of restoration and to include only those
who approved the Congressional plan of re-
construction. As between these two plans
| am entirely in favor of the President and
against the Congressional. The former ig-
nores secession, and assumes that State
once in the Union, cannot voluntarily go out,
nor be involuntarily thrust out by Congress
the latter denies the rights of States to Sc
cede, but assumes that Congress may ratify
secession by holding States as conquered
provinces.
l was opposed to secession in 1861, and
am Just as much opposed to expulsion In
1866 therefore / cannot act harmOniOusly
with that wing of the Republican party
which follows the lead of Congress.
With sincere gratitude for the kindly re-
lations which existed between us during the
campaign Of 1864, and with the assurance
of my high esteem for each and all of you
personally, respectfully tender my resigna-
ton of the position of Chairman Of your
committee.
I remain, very respectfully your obediant
servant, Thomas j. TURNER,
To the Republican Union State Central
Committee of Illinois.

SKATING WITH THE GIRLs.-A person
who has lived and suffered, thinks that
skating with the girls, is far ahead Of polkas
and cotillions. Bad place for lovers is the
ice.
The lady employs you to adjust the skate,
hold her in the right position, and stand
ready with open arms if she falls
Just stop and think minute. Think of
lover fooling away an hour about the pretty
foot that belongs to the pretty eyes peeping
out from under the warm hood.
Think how nice of moonlight night,
piping cold, to race that pretty one tar out
from the crowd, with an arm a bout her waist
to keep her from falling, and the gentle mo-
ton on skates fairly intoxicating you with
heavenly rapture Go away with your par
lor courting, when the house clock must be
mufied, and where the old folks viii keep
both ears open to catch the advance guard
of cupid-the stolen kiss
Give us the ice. the bracing air, and the
embracing arm to guard US from danger
As pipes the cold outside, 80 burns the love
within.
Away from the noisy crowd. with none
but the moon to look down and smile ap-
proval-who would not do their counting on

Address of the Democratic State
Committee.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE
Rooms, S2S WALNUT STREET,
PHILADELPHIA, August so, 1866.
To the People of Pennsylvania:

PHILADELPHIA, August so, 1866.
To the People Of Pennsylvania
The issues ofthe canvass are made up
The restoration of the Union and the pres
ervation of your form of government are the
vital questions that now confront you
Secession is dead, but disunion still lives.
Slavery is extinct, but fanaticism survives.
The rights Of the white man are submerg-
ed in efforts to elevate the negro, and the
black man is sought to bemade a controlling
elementin the politics of the Republic
Capitalization seeks to rear its despotic
power upon the ruins Of the Constitution,
andforeshadows war Of races for its accom-
plishment
Prescription and disfranchiSement usurp
the places. Of magnanimity and clemency,
and discord and hate combat Christian char
ity and national concord.
Congress refuses to nourish tae resources
necessary for payment of the debt of the
Republic, and loads with taxation the indus
trial interests of the North. Congressional
extravaganza is the rule; economy in public
affairs, the exception.
Il Convention of representative men from
each of the United States has metwithin the
past week; they have forecast the future
agreed in sentiment, and dispersed to their
homes.
Their work has passed into history; to the
impartial mind that work is perfect answer
to the charge that the South Is not ready for
restoration.
Composed Of men of every section, hold
ing every shade Of political opinion, they
have accommodated the eternal principles
that lie at the base of our institutions, have
renewed their vows of fealty and Of brother
hood, and have joined hands in an united
effort to restore the Union and preserve the
government created by the Constitution.
No man need err in this contest:
Support Congress and you sustain dis
union, attack your government, and elevate
the negro at the expense ofyour own race.
Support the President and you restore
the Union, preserve your government, and
protect the white man.
On the one side are Stevens, Sumner, agl-
tation and disunion.
On the other, the President, the Union,
peace and order.
By order of Democratic State Committee,

MEssRs. EDITORS Certainly radicals
must be admitted to be novel letter writer's,
and their letters prove them to be lacking IN
every reousite Of gentlemen. Ofcourse, no
body who knew the latest Post-Master OF
Bloomsbury, suspected him to be gentle
man. He came here endorsed by the whole
crew of radicals. Helwas by them quarter
ed upon our people as public school teach

prefix of Rsrerned; and how worthlly he suS-
tanned both characters, the criminal records
of our courts will answer He was forced
upon our people, against the.petitIon OF a
majority of them, as Post Master. That
duty he performed bytelling stories, false or
true. we know not, of which he could only
have knowledge officially, and which no gen
tlemcn would publish, much less sworn
public officer.
Having disgraced every position which he
occupied among US, he now tenders his res
ienation of the last, in letter addressed to
the Post Master General, the insolence OF
which can neitherbe heightened nor excused
We are glad to know that the late Post
Master is not native of Columbia County.
He aCas imported. We are glad too, to know
that his political principles and doctrines
