Bear In Mind

That the result of the election in Pennsyl-
vania will have a telling effect, for good or
evil, on national affairs
That it will effect the price of gold if
Sharswood is elected, which Will seriously
interfere with the living of every working
man, farmer and mechanic in the State, BY
increasing the cost of dry goods, groceries,
grain and meat. Judge Sharswood occu-
pies the position that the national securities
and issues of notes reillegal. If he is cleo
ted. the result will be claimed as an approv-
al of this position, the consequence Of which
will lie to depreciate the value of the nation
al currency, requiring three dollars to pur-
chase what now can be had for one dollar
That failure to maintain a Republican
majority in the Legislature will result in the
relieving of the tax on real estate, repealed
by the Republicans of former Legislature
As usual in all measures ofreform and relief
to the people, the Democratic party, through
its leaders, opposed the repeal of the tax on
real estate. Give these men the power, and
that tax will be levied, by which the reuts
of mechanics and laboring men will be doub-
ly increased.
These are plain facts easily comprehend
ed by the yoters-the man who votes for
Sharswood puts himself in danger of bank
ruptcy and straps load on his back in the
shape of increased taxation.

The Democratic Record.

While the despot at Washington is plot
ting our country ruin, in response to the
appeals of the Democratic leaders, keep
your eye upon their dark and terrible record,
and remember
That they are responsible for the war
which attempted the destruction of the Re-
public, not only because they supported John
c. Breckenridge for President. but because
they refused to employ the powers of the
General Government under James Buchan-
an to enforce obedience to the laws;
That if they had rallied as earnestly to
the support of the Government as they raj
lied earnestly against it, the war would have
ended in the first instead of the fourth year
OF It's existence;
That while they are predicting universal
bankruptcy and now claiming to be the
friends of the public credit, let it not be for
gotten that ley never subscribed dollar
to the national loans, and never paused in
their efolts to depreciate the national cur
rency;
That while they are asking the votes of
the soldiers of the Union, keep it in eternal
remembrance that in public and in private
they denounced these brave men as hire
lings, and never contributed by word or deed
to the great charities organized and main
tanned for the benefit of the defenders of
the Republic
That until they induced Andrew johnson
to turn upon his own record, to pro-
scribe the rurest patriots in the land, and to
set his face against the brave soldiers who
overthrow the rebellion, the national credit
stood firm; but the moment, under their
counsels, his desperate hand was raised
against the reconstruction policy of Congress,
reviving business was instantly arrested, and
our national currency began to depreciate ;
And finally, that if our debt and our tax
alton were treble what they are, the Ccp-
perheads would be responsible for both, as
the guilty associates of the traitors from
first to last.

Oopperhead Responsibility.

The Copperhead leaders are responsible
for the late rebellion and all the horrors of
the war-they are responsible for the hun
dreds Of thousands of noble young men who
were killed by rebel bullets-they are re-
sponsible for the tens of thousands of brave
soldiers who were starved to death in rebel
prison pens-they are responsible for the
thousands of Union men, who were hung in
the South, by the minions of rebellion, be-
cause they were loyal to the old fag-they
are responsible for the sufferings of the
widows and orphans of our brave soldiers
who died to preserve the Union from de-
struction by traitors-they are responsible
for the almost countless millions of property
destroyed during the war-they are respon-
sible for tie two thousand seven hundred
millions of our national debt For had
there been no Copperheads-or semi-rebels
in the North, there would have been no
secession, and hence no rebellion or war.
And the same leaders are responsible for the
prolongation of the war. in that they en-
couraged the rebels in their rebellion by
discouraging enlistments-by opposing the
draft and declaring it unconstitutional
encouraging desertions from the army-by
advising their followers to flee from the
draft-by telling their party friends to resist
the officers of the Government-by encour
aging the rebels to carry the black fag-by
expressing satisfaction when the rebels set
fire to our Northern cities-by rejoicing
over rebel victories and the defeat of the
Union army-by welcoming the rebels on
their invasion of Pennsylvanla-and by de-
ciarlng our national currency and national
bonds as worthless. Yea, for these, and
countless other wrongs, are the Copperhead
leaders responsible; and yet, in the face of
this array of wrong-doing, they would have
you believe they were the friends of the
Union. Do you believe them? Nay! Then,
how can you adhere to their party? How
can you vote for their candidates? How
can you conscientuously support George
Sharswood, who decided the 'greenbacks''
unconstitutional All the leaders who are
responsible for the great crimes we have
enumerated will support him, because he is
enc OF them. But the honest Democrats
and Republicans will oppose him, because
he is unworthy of their confidence and op
posed to the best interests of the country.
Yea, all patriots will vote for Hon. Henry
W. Williams, the friend of the Union. the
friend of the soldier, and the friend of the
people. Remember these facts when Won
go to the polls on the Second Tuesday of
October next, and vote accordingly |

California O. K.

After all the result in California, over
which the Cops crow SO Justify, shows that
the Republicans have a majority of TWO
VOTES on joint ballot, which secures the
election of a Republican U. S. Senator.
And Haight, Dem, for Governor received
~, 300 votes, while in 1864 Mcclellan had
1854 votes-a loss of l,oo4l. Then, it is
clear that the defeat of the Republican can
dldate for Governor was the result of apathy
and not because the Cops have gained.
On square contest we can carry the State
by 10000 majority. So let the Cops crow
over their barren victory.

A Word to Republicans.

8 If anything like apathy exists in your
.smidst shake it off, and go to work at once
by work alone will you insure the trium-
sphant election of our candidate for Supreme
Judge. See that every Union voter in your
district is assessed Visit every such voter
in your precinct. and-urge him to be out at
the election. A negleet@of this highly re-
sponsible and important duty, on your part,
may be the means Of defeat. Then dom t
delay another day-nay, not another hour
but 60 to work at once and work earnestly
and faithfully, from now to the election, and
victory, glorious victory, will crown your
efforts

The Way to Do It

The sole hope of the Democrats in this
State, says the Commercial, is based on the
apathy of the Republicans arising from over
confidence. Their plan of campaign is to
do nothing to awaken Republicans into ac-
tiveity. AT the same time measures are be-
ing taken to bring out the Democratic voters
in fact they are always out. These facts
should awaken Republicans to do their
whole duty. There is no change among the
people-no conversions to the standard of
Andrew johnson. There is no pretense of
the sort. The people are as determined to-
day as they were last year, when the State
gave seventeen thousand Republican major
ity. There is just one thing to be done,
therefore. The Republican voters must be
brought out. To this end our efforts should
be redoubled and constant. 1t is not a
question of strength but its use The sew
eral election districts should be thoroughly
canvassed. There is time enough for that.
Practical nissi0nating among the mass of
Republican voters is what is needed.
NeighbOrhood meetings and frequent con-
ferences should he held, less for discussion
with the view of converting the enemy than
to insure full Republican vote on the day
of election. 1t is not necessary to wait for
the action ofcommittees.. Five-eyen three
Republicans in neighborhood meeting
together will constitute just the kind Of
committee that is required for the occasion
There is not an election district, in which
our friends cannot make clean work of it
within the next week. Friends will you
do it2

Facts for the Soldier.

Soldiers who think Of casting their votes
with the Democratic party says the 7ele-
graph, should not forget that when the bill
giving them the right to vote in the field
was presented in the State Senare, Senator
Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. said; Il vote against
this bill from principle A voter disfranchi-
ses himself and ceases to be citizen when
he takes upon himself the duties Of a sol
der Let them remember also THAI the
Democrats pohed one hundred and six thous-
and votes against the Constitutional Amend
ment comforting the right of franchise upon
them. This is the party that now Processes
an ardent and exclusive affection for the
soldiers.

Elated and Ohaprinad.

When the Southern people, after reading
or hearing of the amnesty, are elated with
the news that it seems to bring to them,
their first thought is, now for the voting. -
And when, to make the hope an assurance,
they send message of mixed adulation and
inquiry, to Washington, to know whether
they are to have free scope with the ballot,
and receive MIGHT'VE answer, it is not diff
cult to imagine their modification and disap-
pointment. The amnesty, therefore, while
bringing them no relief, as it ought not and
could not, with reference to enfranchise-
ment, Only tends to increase their exaspera-
ton, and to prolong the bad feeling which
they uniustly entertain against Con-
gress and the Northern people The docu-
ment itself is deceptive one, and it is DIFF
fcult to discover a rational motive for its
PRONUNCIATION.

Amnesty-Pardon.

Amnesty and pardon are two things as
different as day and night. or Democracy
and loyalty. Pardon is remission ofa SEN
tence after trial and conviction before le
gal tribunal; amnesty is an indemnity gran
ted before trial. Pardon is the remission of
penalty; amnesty immunity from trial.
Under the Constitution the President has
the power to grant pardons and reprieves,
but nothing more. He might as well at
tempt to grant absolution as amnesty. The
one would be usurping the power of the
Church the other of the people. Andrew
johnson would unquestionably usurp both
If he could, ard might assume the one pow
er with as good grace as the other.

THAT GAIN.-The Copperheaeds claim
that they have gained $4,000 votes in the
serea states in which elections We're held
this year. The official figures show that in
the same States in 1864 they polled 268, ,664
votes, and in 1867 they polled 26S, ,254-a
loss of 4l0. Where is that gain of $4,000 ?
