IN consecuence Of the fearful calamities which
he had predicted, the gentleman now very kindly
es;ied into 4 sea Of anecdotes. One Of which
vas about party of emigfants who met an un.
,utofed Indian, Of whom they enquired II It was
prac acticable to get over mountain In front Of
them with their teams. The Indian had seen its
massage attempted before, and had heard great
deal o. - Whoa -haws" and " Damn.yous, while
/, wa. in progress. He very innocently supposed
that :. whos. s.haw" stood for oxen. and damn.
ron for the wagons. He therefore replied that
the " whoa -haws' could get across, but that the
..damu.yous' couldnt. "But, fellow.coun,ry.
men" said Mr.. Montgomery, this anecdo,e is
ouly parable after all, which will now pro-
coed TO unriddle for you. The party of emf
grants represent the leaders of the Abolitionists;
the Indian whom they question is the Supreme
Court which the Aboltionists consult as to the
legality of certain measures they wish TO pass
the mountain before them 10 the monstrous doc.
,ripe of Universal Equality, on the other side
of which lies the vale of Social Degradation
the swhoa-h -haws, or oxen, are emblamatic of
the Purtanic mud-sils OF the North who are the
workers of the nation; the 'damn-yous,' or
wagons, persorify the Southern chivary, who.
although containing elements of great usefulness
within themselves, have never been able to make
any upward progress, socially or materially, un.
less hauled along by others, although, if once
started, they can roll down hill very rapidly uu-
iii they reach the bottom, as you all witnessed
during the late rebellion, which was forced upon
them by the Freesoil fanatics of the North And
here, my friends, is the moral The Thad Ste
vens emierant party may succeed in getting the
'whoa-haws,' or mud-sills, over that mountain
of monstrosity; but III just be id if they
ever get the 'damn-yous, or Southern Chivs.,
across it."
To illustrate the hoggishness of the Chinese,
he next informed his audience that On his way
here he called upon personal friend in Shasta,
one of WHOSE hogs had the misfortune to die a
natural death three days before. Just as he
called, his friend was endeavoriDg to remove the
carcase from the pig-pen, as it was becoming Of
fensive to his nostrils. Owing to modification
having set in, the task was somewhat difficult,
as the pig was disposed to fall to pieces. Just
at this moment an almond-eyed animal put in
his appearance, and, after little jewng his
friend disposed of the pork to the Chnaman for
eight dollars. And l. my friends,' said he,
was forcibly impressed with the truth of the re-
mark that history repeats itself, for, like unto
the swine of DID, of which we read, was not this
hog now possessed by devil ?" [Your reporter
is disposed to think that the white man who
charged eight dollars for the hog more hog
gish than the Chinaman who paid it,
AS no subject, however intricate or interest,"
ing, is sufficient to occupy the attention of man
of genius for whole evening, he would now
dismiss the Coolie question, with the hope that
his hearers would ruminate what he had said
and chew it with the cud of their reflection.

THE RESULT.

When a party whose principles have for
years received the hearty Endorsement of the
the people when such party has been uniform
ly successful in the election of its nominees, and
has adopted no new issues tending to ALLEVIATE
any portion of its supporters from the patriotic
ST. ndard under which they have marched to vic
tory when such party comes crushed and de-
feated from a field on which 1t has every right TO
expect different result, it is natural that the
thinking members of the party should cast about
for the causes which have worked such deep hu-
initiation. This is the position occupied by the
Union party of California to-day this is the
task devolving upon Union men for their guild
ance and instruction in the future. In search
ing for these causes We assume what is beyond
cavil-that there has been no great change of
feeling the part of Union men upon matters
of National policy,-no change which could car
ry them in such numbers to the ranks of Democ-
racy, and thus insure the defeat of Union prin-
ciples. We must trace out the primary causes
of the act which has arrayed loyal California
against the Government of the Nation.
The cause can be given in one word-corrup-
ton. Corruption in our own ranks because the
party was strong. Because a nomination was
deemed equivalent to an election, the will of the
people was overrden-the candidates of their
choice thrust aside, and men selected for high
position who were NOT the wish of one-ffth the
loyal element of California. The Union Conven-
ton of June last, instead of representing the
will of its constituents, degenerated into a mere
machine for the elevation of political tricksters
to leadership in the great battle to be fought,
and as candidates for high posts of emolument
and honor.
We need look no deeper or ask no farther for
the causes which have brought about this re-
sult-t is apparent to the most superficial OBJ
server. The wholesale lies manufactured by
Democracy, and circulated with untiring indus
try-its frantic appeals to the bigoiry, passions
and prejudices of the masses-its false issues rel
ative to negro and Chinese suffrage and equality,
would have fallen harmless had not Union men
felt that corruption and chicanery reigned su-
preme in their own ranks. Let the lesson we
have learned be remembered. 1t has been i'm
parted to US in the bitter school OF experience

The October Elections.

From The ". y. Tribune.
The States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Iowa
hold their annual elections on Tuesday, Octo-
Der s; while California holds a Judicial cleo
tion about the same time. Ohio and Iowa
elect Governors; a single Representative in
Congress is to be chosen from Pennsylvania,
in place of Mr.. Dennison, deceased, and one
from Ohio, vice General Rutherford B. Hayes,
who, having accepted the nomination for
Governor, has resigned his seat. The Demo-
Gratis tried to nominate candidate, but quar-
relled-part of them insisting on an out. and
out Copperhead, while the rest wanted to run
soldier; so they gave it up, and are support
ing General Samuel F. Cary (Repub ioan),
who is the independent candidate, against
Richard Smith, the regular Republican candi-
date. The simple fact betrays their weak
ness In Pennsylvania, ex-Judge Woodward
is running as the Democratic, against ex-
Senator w. w. Ketchum, Republican. The
district (Luzerne and Susquehanna counties)
is close, though carried heavily against us
last year by fraudulent votes in the coal
mining precincts of Luzerne. With fair vote,
Mr.. Ketchum stands good chance of election.
The Democrats have no hope of carrying
Iowa, though they expect to gain on a light
vote by attracting to their standard liquor
selling and liquor loving Republicans, on some
pretext of local dissatisfaction. In Ohio, they
virtually concede the election of General Hayes
as Governor, but cling to the hope of securing
majority in the Legislature by fomenting
iealousies between the friends of rival candi-
dates for United States Senator Their main
effort, however, will be to defeat the Constitu-
tional amendment, which extends the right of
suffrage to blacks, and that they confidently
hope to achieve We entreat every Republi-
can to consider that the defeat of impartial
manhood suffrage will be everywhere hailed
as Democratic triumph, and will thrill with
eestacy the soul of every unreconstruoted
Rebel in the land. Nothing that has occurred
since the taking of Fort Pillow-unless it be
the Memphis and New Orleans massacres--
mas reJoiced the heart of rebedom as it will
:s ne ennraptured by the tidngs that Ohio has de-
ol1eo ae that blacks have no rights that
N wni{es are bound to respect. It will be a
M lresh Dred Scott decision and exulted over
ascooIoln9ly. so eli9ly. We pray every Ohio Republican
~ s Vonssltate himself vigilance committee,
loL tne purpose of securing every possible
Dooe loG manhood s suffrage Itis the pivot Of the
canvass; and our adversaries viii plausibIy
lnsst II manhood suffrage be voted down
that they trinmph on their cardinal 'T% %G"n'
though defeated on their candidates. p''''''pt''
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-10-02

In Pennsylvania, the Democrats have the
advantage in that their leading Candidate
Judge Sharswood, mas long been on the bench
and, being iurist of undoubted ability as well
as experience will win some Republican votes
from Mr.. Williams, his Republican opponent,
who is comparatively new man. True,
Judge Woodward was beaten under like cir
cumstances in 1868; tut Governor Curtin's
name then headed the Republican ticket;
while Woodward's recent decision Gin which
we believe Judge Sharswood ooncurIed), null
lifying the Consumption act was reason
enough for his defeat. If ever a disloyal
opinion was read from bcnch, that was one;
for, if the people of Pennsylvania had not re-
versed it, ousting Judge Woodward, the war
for the Union stood paralyz zed, and the Rebel
lion must have become q successful revolu-
tion. TO elect Sharswood now is to uphold
Woodward, who is running for Congress, and
virtually decide that the Rebellion ought to
have succeeded. There are other local issues
that help the wrong side; so that we have
apprehended its success; but our later advices
are more cheering and justify hope of a
Republican triumph if a full vote can ba
drawn out. To this end, we entreat every
Pennsylvania who stands for justice and equal
rights to do his very utmost in the struggle of
next Tuesday.
