since O'Clock Saturday up to midnight of
Sunday, were the R. c. Gray, St. Louis to

The Gray had considerable freight. Up

Business i'm New York.

The New York Comaercsal says of the
revival of business. e WTN
- New York has been remarkably full OF
country Merchants for the last few days.
The hotels are crowded to overlooking,
and some OF the large establishments are
as popular as towns of considerable magni-
tude. The merchants find themselves
overrun with buyers, and trade springs up
into fresh life and activity. If prices were
vnOtsornewhat relaxed, and If there was
pota feeling of doubt as to the fu ure, the
immediate trade done here would be be-
yorsd ali preceden While the business, is
large, 1t is, however, kept down BY these
circumstances. There Is a disposition on
the one hand 10 make small purchases for
cash, and on the other the old system OF
credits is sought to DE re-esta blished.
q In one thing all these strangers agree,
and that is that a large crop rewards the
labors of the farmer in ali parts of the
country. The Southern merchants es j.
mae the cotton crop at a half more than
tha5 OF last year, while the South has, at
the same time. not been unmindful of
other crops, and has laid mp store Of
grsin and provisions for itself. From the
West comes similar tale of abundance.
Ont OF this abundance will come the pros
perity of the country and return of con-
fideiace. Debts aud Ia xes w Ill be paid. con-
SUM ptiOn will be increased and the entire
country will feel the Stimulus, and there
will continue TO be a certain demand for
all The products of our manufacturers and
alfthe cargoes that come TO our importers.

THE State election in Louisville and
throughout Kentucky, as far as heard
from, passed quietly. The result has
been Rebel triumph, by majority
yariously estimated alto, 900 to 60,0O0.-
Inquirer.
We ask the attention of the Demo
Gratis of Bedford county, to the peculi-
arity Of the language employed by the
Bedford Inquirer, in announcing a
Democratic victory. According to that
sheet Democrats are rebels. Stick pin
there, boys! When sly Mr.. j. r. Jor-
dan and other candidates on the Radi-
cal ticket, come sneaking around to beg
your votes, you'll remember that they
are entirely too 'loyal" to thank rebels
for their support.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE Rooms,
CLEARFIELD. Pa Auoust z 1887

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE RooMs
CLEARFIELD, PA, August 7, 1867. !
TO the People Of Pennsylvania.
The Democratic organization, devo-
ted to the maintenance of its immortal
principles; conscious of its duty to
them, and to the Republic; proud of
! its years, its triumphs and its herUiom
| in disaster, and remembering that in
the face of persecution, ofofficial frowns,
of corrupt appliances and of successive
defeats, its numbers have steadily
increased again presents to you its can
didate for your suffrages.
The Republican party has controlled
the government for six years and we
accuse it before you, because:
In the sacred name of Union, it has
perpetuated disunion;
In the room of the blessings of peace,
it has given us hate, discOrd and mis-
cry;
1t has violated the plainest princi-
plies of government, broken the writ
ten Constitution, and only yielded obe-
dience to the behests of party;
The people are denied the attribute
of sovereignty the military subverts
the civil power; generals remove gov
ernors elected by the people, and des-
potism resigns in ten States;
Congress assumes the right to say that
negroes shall vote in Pennsylvania,
and denies to us the right to regulate
our own rule of suffrage;
The negro, is by law, made the equal
of the white man in all public places,
and authorized to hold Office and sit on
juries in the capital.
The destinies of ten States, and Of ten
millions of white people therein, are,
by Congress and the military power,
placed under the control of four mil
lions of blacks.
Their reckless expenditure of the pub
lie money in their conduct of the gov
ernment, in the support and organiza-
ton of hundreds Of thousands of idle
negroes, in the employment of hordes
of unnecessary spies and officials, and
in maintaining military power over the
submissive ~Outh, endangers and delays
the payment of the public debt OF twen-
ty-seven hundred millions of dollars
to which the public faith is pledged;
Their gross mismanagement causes
taxation to bear heavily upon the peo-
pie. In 1860, one dollar and sixty cents
per head were paid by the people thro'
the customs; in 1866, fourteen dollars
per head were drawn, mainly from the
consumption and business of the poorer
classes, through the customs and inter-
nal revenue. In 1860, each individual
owed two dollars and six cents of the
public debt; in 1867, each owes seven
ty-nine dollars and fifty cents thereof
In 1860, the expenses of the govern
