the Constitution and to the Union in the cleo

The Attempt TO Catch Republican Otes
fnr "a he nnlnnrnfir Nnnninnn

The Attempt to Catch Republican Votes
for Democratic Nominee.
THERE never was a more impudent or un-
founded claim put forth in behalf of any
Ofice-seeker than that which assumes that
Judge ShaIswood is in any possible sense
non-partisan candidate. On the contrary, he
is partisan candidate, pledged to partisan
platform, and bound to carry out on the bench,
so far as he may, the political sentiments of
the party whose standard bearer he is. His
nomination was so arranged that no man could
vote for him without giving moral endorse
ment to the platform upon which he stands
and the party with which he acts. Suppose
him to be elected, does not everybody know
that his election would be claimed all over the
country as triumph not of an Independent,
non-partisan candidate for Judge, but as that
of the Democratic party? We are aware that
it has been weakly claimed for Judge Shars-
wood that he does not endorse the platform
upon which he stands; but such claim is
evidently unfounded. When has he ever
denied his endorsement of the Democratic
platform! Whom has he authorized to make
any such denial for him? How many Demo
cratic votes would he get, were he authorita-
lively to repudiate the platform? What was
the platform for, except as recognized and
formal expression of the political views of the
party and the candidate? What sentiment in
the platform is repugnant to the political
record of Judge SharswoodY A fair answer to
these various questions shows that no con-
sistent Republican can vote for this Demo
cratic nominee. Nor is there the slightest
excuse for doing so. The Republican nomi-
nee, Judge Williams, is in every respect as
worthy candidate as any party could desire.
His ability is unquestiOned. His experience is
ample. His integrity is above suspicion. His
moral character is irreproachable. In every
element necessary to the high position for
which he has been nominated, he is not only
competent, but he ercejS. Why, then, should
any true Republican refuse to support him d?
Why should any Republican stultify himself,
and strike a fatal blow at principles dear to
every patriotic heart by supporting an out
and-out Democrat upon an avowed and pur-
posely made offensive platform? Democratic
support of Judge Sharswood is appropriate
He is Democrat, and the candidate of Demo
Gratis, but he has not the slightest claim to the
support of any honest Republican. Nor do we
believe he will get it.

"REwARD YOUR ENEMIES. The people of
Philadelphia have their votes claimed for Mr.
Joseph n. Peirsol for City Treasurer entirely on
the ground of the scriptural injunction TO love

now to be rewarded by being made City Trea-
surer. good opportunity is afforded for the
doctrine of the Sermon on the Mount. Let Mr..
Peirsol present his own claims for our votes,
expressed in his letter on the report of League

and believe, League Island has been wholly
reclaimed from the river Delaware and is only
prevented from overflow by large banks OF
stone and earth 1t is surrounded, except upon

The DEMOCRACY of Boston have little more
common decency than their party friends of
this city, and therefore are quite willing that
General Sheridan should receive at the hands
of the people the full reward of his gallant
services in the country's behalf The Boston
Post, referring editOrially to "Little Phil's"
proposed visit to the Club, says:--
1--WE are glad our municipal authorities are
taking such measures as will insure proper
manifestation OF respect and gratitude towards
General Sheridan for his eminent military ser
vices. He was a brave and faithful officer
during the war, and deserves all the honor ms
country ireely accords him as military COM
mander,"
What sad contrast is presented by these
frank words and the following ungenerous
assault upon the hero of the Shenandoah from

Mr.. MuIlen's speech.

ON Wednesday evening young Mr.. Mullen,
who aspires to Legislative honors in the Fifth
District, made speech to his future constitu-
ents, which, taken altogether, is by far the
most brilliant electioneering document put
forth by the Democracy during the present
campaign. Peter Lyle's TRADE against the
''radioal rascals, +" and Joseph N. Peirsol's
affected letter on the League Island question,
were completely eclipsed by the maiden effort
of the youthful Mullen. The effusions of Lyle
and Persol are both characterized by their
excessive modesty but even in this respect
young Thomas excelled them, as in the course
of an address which fills only two-thirds of
cOlmmn, he referred to himself, by the use of
personal pronouns, in one way and another,
sixty seven times. 1t is true that Mr.. BrOokes
young man became somewhat muddled in the
course of his disquisition, especially when he
attempted to quote from a celebrated English
statesman, and talked about the election of
members of the next Congress during the
coming fall election. But it must be remem-
bered that this was Mr.. Mullen's first effort on
the stump, and that he himself expressed at
the outset the fear that he might "not come
up to the expectations formed of him. And
if all this sufioes not by way of an excuse,
the naive manner in which he closed his re-
marks by apolOgizing for spreading himself
out" should certainly satisfy his future con-
stituents. If any of our readers have not had
the pleasure of perusing Mr.. Mullen's address,
we would advise them to borrow cepy of
yesterdays TELEGRAPH, and glance through
that luminous discourse.

The Republican Party and the Tran
quillity of the Country.
THE triumph of the Republican party is essen
tial to the tranquility of the country. The
organs of Mr.. Johnson, awed by the uprising
of the people, have for the moment ceased to
vex the public ear with their infamous threats
against social order and the integrity of the
Government; but the purpose doubtless re-
mains. 1t only needs Democratic triumph
in Pennsylvania this fall to encourage these
reckless plotters against the public peace to a
renewal of their reasonable plans and sugges-
tions. We have no fears of the final result,
even should Mr.. Johnson be encouraged to
attempt the revolutionary role urged upon
him by his COpperhead advisers; but the tenn
porary distress inflicted upon the community,
especially upon the laboring classes, and upon
men in active business, would be very great.
Such convulsion is to be avoided, ifpossible.
The peoples only safety is by standing to.
gether in the Union party in such an array Of
power as shall carry dismay to the hearts Of
the miscreants who would pluck down the
social fabric, that they might plunder and rot
amid its ruins. Let every man who value;
peace and tranquility, the preservation O
order, and the regular administration of law
vote AGAINST Andrew Johnson and the Demo
cratic MARTY

Judge Allison would now be were he at home,
and saw the Democrats exulting over what
they prophesy will be a party victory, we feel
confident would be the reverse Of his views, and
would be in favor of our able candidate,
Hon. M. Russell Thayer AS it is now,
Judge Ludlow sees fit to advertise the letter
received by him from Judge Allison, which
really has no application or force. 1t was
written when the Judge was pretending to be
a no party candidate. To-day the mask is
thrown aside, and he is as much Democrat
as Clymer or Vallandigham. The force of the
letter is broken by the change of the position
Of Judge Ludlow, and its tones will fall idly
on the ear, without any weight, for all its
application is destroyed.

The Value of our votes.

The success of the Democrats In this State
next Tuesday might, in its future oonse-
quenOes, be as serious public calamity as
would have been Union defeat during the
war. II would give new heart to the enemies
of freedom, and would fan into flame tho
smOthered and smouldering embers of treason
throughout the South. II would nerve the
arm of the present false Federal Executive,
and encourage him in his purpose of practi-
cally annulling the reconstruction laws of
Congress, and Of restoring to power the seoes-
sionists of the South. 1t would go very far
towards undoing all the good that the war ac-
complished, and that Congress has since been
endeavoring to secure permanently to the
country. 1t would not only strengthen An
drew Johnson and his secession supporters
but it would tend to discourage the friends of
the country in Congress and throughout the
North. In short, it might, as we have already
said, lead to the election of a Democr attic Pre-
sident and Democratic Congress in 1868.
And who can estimate the magnitude of such
national calamity?
Let such Republicans as may have been half
low, or Lyle, or any one or more of the Demo
cratic candidates, from personal motives, ina
gine what would be the condition of the
country in case of our defeat next year,
and let them decide, instantly, that they
will not be guilty of contributing in the leas;
possible degree to such a calamitous event
Imagine Andrew Johnson President for another
four years, or some man like Vallandigham or
PendletOn in the Presidential chair, from
March 4, 1869, to March, 4, 1873, with
a Congress of revived and restored
Rebels and Northern sympathizers to
support him Will any honest and intel
ligent Republican in Pennsylvania be guilty of
contributing to such direful result? In fact,
is nert gears battle are fighting now. The vic
tory of Gettysburg, though fought over hun
dred miles away from us, saved our city, and
the battle of Tuesday next, though a year in
advance, will have a weighty influence on the
Presidential election.
But we will not lose this battle 1t is only
necessary for Republicans to stand true to
their colors to assure triumphant victory to
the right, and we are convinced that
no true Republican will vote for any
man. however dear friend personally, whose
name is on the Democratic ticket. The
mere question, per Sc, who shall secure
the local offices, is of no consequence in COM
parison with the great national issue at stake.
Those who fought, those who have freely
given of their treasure, those who have
lost sons, or brothers, or fathers, or
friends in the war to save the country
they love, will not now so act as
to practically annul our blood bought
victory over rebellion, but will march to the
polls united, strong, and determined to carry
into complete execution what they have thus
far preserved.

% JUDGE ALLISON'S OPINION
JUDGE LUDLOW.

In Il s62 A. d. Poeau arrested by the United
States authorities for reasonable language Judge
Ludlow instructed the Grand Jury mad true bill
against the Unted States officers aud promised
all the force OF the Court their arrest. Upon
hearing this Judge Allison hAstened TO toe Court
Room, counter handed the order and gave his opinion
ottts propric auu loyalty. He sald:--
Il would be derelct in my duty as u Judge lf
TINS Court, IT, hy my silence 1 niight even seem TO
sanction II, and IT, ia speaking, did place upOn
IL my most emphatic condemn nation. 1t
was unWlse NJ cause it places this Court In false
poslon before the country, as anxious for and of is
own motion seekln- cause OF difficulty win the
Government, AID because the legitimate result OF
states and general Government, wheu such collision
should by all proper means and to the last possible
extremity be avoided, that the true ana constitu-
tional Government of the lana may be upheld and
strengthened ia IFS fearful struggle with infamous
Rebellion which detes its authority tramples on It's
flag: imperils It's existence and which has tiled th
land with lamentation and woe. L have
thus, at some length, gentlemen, expressed my views
upon matter Of great public moment; L could not

peril that as citizen and magistrate 0g personal anf
oUctdt support shall be given to It,"
The inference is natural so tar was concerned
that Judge Allison determined place his loyalty
on record but could colleague whose
action he reversed. Which is of the most import
the tardy and solicited In 1867 the sponta-
neous rebuke in 1862?

The Republican Party and the Young
Men of the Nation.


Men of the Nation.
ONE of the strongest elements of success in the
Republican organization is the hold it has
upon the young men of the country. A very
large proportion of the new voters who each
succeeding year come upon the stage of ac-
tion are Republicans. The explanation of
this significant fact is to be found in the libe-
raj and progressive character of the Republi-
can party and its doctrines. Young men are
proverbially radical. Their sympathies are
generous; their impulses are liberal; their ten
denotes are all progressive. How can con-
servative, reactionary, old fogy party expect
to win recruits from such class of citizens
1t must look for its supporters rather to those
who have lost the generous fire and enthu-
siasm of youth, who have become hardened
by contact with the world, and who, grown
selfish and insincere themselves, have lost all
faith in their fellow-men. There is nothing in
the doctrines or present attitude of the Demo-
cratic party that can attract the sympathy or
support of the young. Hatred of the negro, a
desire to oppress him, to thrust him down
into degradation and misery, fear of
of life, a constant spirit of denunciation and
injustice towards him-these are the alpha and
the omega of the Democratic faith. Deprive
that party of the negro, and of the prejudices
against him growing out of his former condi-
tion Of slavery, and its stock in trade would
be gone. 1t would have no working capital
left. But what basis is this for a great
rfN af c;o n =,
kicking poor fellow mortal who is down and
can't help himself What laurels must crown
the victor in such a cause
The Republican party, on the other hand,
is the party Of true progress, Of broad and
unselfsh humanity, of a trust in the people,
of belief in the dignity and worth of human
nature itself. 1t abhOrs all class rule, all
class privilege. Itbelieves in the rights of the
people, without regard to color, race, creed.
1t is the counterpart of the Liberal party in
the Old World. The fight is essentially the
same here as there-equal rights against class
| privileges. Such party must in the nature
of things attract to it the young, the ardent,
the enthusiastic, the progressive, and the
liberal 1t stands to-day as the only repre-
sentative of the distinctive political principles
upon which our Government and our free in
stitutions are founded. The principles of the
miscalled Democratic party are the principles
of aristocracy; those of the Republican party
are those of true democracy.
If we add to all this the proud record of the
Republican party, its splendid defense of free
dom and free labor against the assaults of
slavery, its championship of the Union and
the Constitution against traitors and rebels in
arms, the achievements of its great leaders in
the field and in the halls of legislation, we
have a sufficient explanation of the hold it
has upon the young men of the nation. 1t is
the popular party, because it deserves to be
because, in short, it is the great organ Of
American progress, of American ideas, OF
American power and glory

Judge Sharswood, the Democratic candidate.
He may be the glass of fashion and the mold of
form-he may be one Of the very ablest and
best men in the Keystone State; but the can
vass is in such position that men, whether
willing or not represent Ideas If Sharswood
succeeds, the exultatioD will be not over the
choice Of the man. nor over the success of the
judge, but the air will be vexed with the ululs-
tions of the Johnsonized Democracy over the
success of "My Policy" This we deprecate.
"And we most cordially hope for the success
OF Judge Williams, because he is not only our
lawful standard bearer, but by the vote cast for
this, the only State ticket will the political
standing of Pennsylvania be assured. II the
Democratic candidate shall be successful, the
great and important-it may, indeed, be said in
some sense the ooutIolllng-inhuence of Penn
sylvania in the national political arena will be
counted as being against Congress and the
measures of the National Legislature for recon.
struction, and in favor Of President johnson
and his views How strong an influence will
it have upon the elections In November in
the great State of New York! What shouts of
exultatlon and triumph will be echoed and re-
echoed from one end of the country to another
If Pennsylvania has given q majority for the
Democratic candidate on the State ticket!
What new life and energy will be infused into
the unrepentant and dunreconstructed Rebels of
the South II the telegraph shall announce TO
them Democratic victory in Pennsylvania!
1t will be the sole cause of rejoicing which will
be heard of after the election, should the De-
mocratic candidate be elected, that he is o De
mocrat and of the straightest sect
"Friends in Pennsylvania You attach vast
Importance to the action of your State. 'As
goes Pennsylvania. SO goes the UAion,' is an
old and generally truthful saying Yet we
ardently hope the Keystone State may go right
next Tuesday, and that the Union may follow
the excellent example. The hours for work are
few; let every man be up and doing, and there
can be no reasonable doubt that, II proper
exertion is made, we shall record on Wednesday
morning grand victory for the right side."
