GENERAL RosEoRANz, who has heretofore
been allied to the Democratic party by family
and other ties, made a short, blunt and SOL
dierly speech in San Francisco on the eve of
the late election in California He said that
he knew nothing whatever about the local
issues pending in the contest in that State,
but was present at the meeting because he
thought that the result of the election there
would have an influence on the approaching
elections in the Eastern States. If the hero
of Stone River had labored through two
column speech, he could not have shown him
self more heartily in favor of the success of
the Republican ticket throughout the country
than he did in these few words. The General
further said that, when certain Democrats
waited upon him for the purpose of ascertain
ing his views and gaining his support, he said
to them:-"What will you do with the power
when you get it ? You cannot do anything
with it, In conclusion, che thought the
people had better not give them the power
which they sought, and he did not think that
they would" In these last words he struck
the keynote to the present contest and it
remains for the ''Boys in Blue' of this city to
see to it that his words come true. Sheridan,
Sickles, Rosecranz Lyle, Leech Ballier
Soldiers, you have your choice between these
two triOs.

JUDGE SHARswooD AND SECESSION. Judge
ShaTS1Oood is a lifelong and conscientious believer
in the doctrine Of secession. We do not say this
for partisan purposes, but merely as fact which
would not be denied by the Judge himself. He
did not actually aid the Rebellionn or was he q
traitor, yet for years before the war, or the war
was thought OF by the people, he declared his
conviction that in theory and under our form
of Government State had the right to secede.
This is announced in his Commentaries on
Blackstone again and again, as every student
OF that work can testify. Those who vote for
him vote for one who is an original secessionist,
and who was so consistently, and we believe is
so still. Can any loyal man place in power one
who held this doctrine? Can any soldier who
has fought for the maintenance of the Union
vote for one who held and holds that in so doing
he crushed by mere force what was legal right?
A CLAIM TO BE SHERIFF-Mr. Peter Lyle pos.
sesses two qualities in marked degree and
these are an immense amount of arrogance and
a very bad temper. He has no courtesy, and is
evidently so passionate as 30 be utterly untitled
for the important duties of Sheriff. How this
modest and courteous gentleman thinks of
himself, and speaks of the Republican voters of
Philadelphia, we will let him show for himself
His speech to the Convention which nominated
him contains the following paragraph
LET us canvass our precincts, and stop This
colonization. II we stop this cheating. the lowest
man on our ticket will be elected by from 5000
to 5000 majority. We aOere not beaten last gear
WAS NOT BEATEN. 1 WAS ELECTED BY A
HANDSOME MAJORITY; but aOas counted
out. The right way is not 90 let those RAscALs
do it again"
