The Democratic Campaign.

The Democrats are about organizing
tn cir campaign. Orators will be selected
with special regard to their fitness for
certain localities, and their adaptation to
the business of meeting and refuting Ger
tain Black Republican SANDERS.
1t has been charged that Seymour was
not loyal man-that he.did not contrib
ute to the suppression of the rebellion
Vallandigham will answer that charge
upon the stump in the North, and Wade
Hampton in the South. Both these gen.
tlcmen support Seymour on account OF
his loyalty.
1t is charged that he is in favor of pay
ing the interest on the national debt in
irredeemable currency" George III. Pen
dleton will be put upon the stump to
answer this. Pendleton supports him
because he is the bondholder's candi-
date.
1t is charged that Seymour is in favor
of paying the coupons in gold. Mr. Bel
mont, who is great sticker for equality
in taxation, and now supports Seymour
as plough holder against the bondhold-
ers, will put several speakers on the
stump to refute the charge.
1t is charged that Frank Blair is in
favor of overturniug the government OF
the reconstructed States by military in
reference. Henry Clay Dean, who is
emincutly man of peace, will throw his
whole intellectual "heit" on this Sian
der.
1t is charged that Blair drinks. Sauls-
bury, of Delaware, will reply to this ac-
cusation.
1t is charged that the platform is in
| favor of ofrcpudiation. Brick Pomcroy, an
eminent up-holder of the national credit
and honor, will devote himself to answer
ing this charge.
1t is charged that the election of the
ticket will "secure to the Confcderacy
what it failed to obtain in the field" In
answer to this base SANDER, such dstin-
guished patriots as Henry \. Wise, G. I.
Beauregard, Wade Hampton, Governor
Vance, JEFF. Davis, and 4 ii. Stephens
will take the stump.

Vallandigham says the New. York Con
vention was "imbued with the spirit
which went forth on the natal morn when
Christ war born" The operations OF
that spirit are described on unquestion-
able authority in these words:
"Thcn Herod was exceeding worth, and
sent forth, and slew all the children that
were in Bethlehem, aud in all the coasts
thereof, from two years old and under"
Imbued with this spirit, the New York
Convention chose as their candidate the
"friend" Of the men who roasted young
orphans in 1868, aud the man whose on
ly claim to Il nomination was in his pro-
posal to inaugurato another revolution at
the South if the Tammany ticket is elect

The funeral of Thaddeus Stevens took
place at Lancaster on Monday. The body
was conveyed from Washington on Friday
by special train, guarded by company y
of colored Iouaves. 1t was placed in the
parlor of his late residence in Lancaster,
where it was viewed by thousands of his
sorrowing friends and peighbors. The
interment was in Schreiner's Cemetery,
the only one in Lancaster that does not
make any distinction on account of color.
The funeral was attended by deputations
from many of leading political and legisla-
tive bodies of the country. Governor
Geary issued an address to the people OF
the State on Friday, setting forth the
public services of the deceased as a le
gislator and statesman, and declaring that
'to his wisdom and liberality we are iu-
debted for our magnificent system OF free
schools, by which the children of the
poor are enabled to reach degree of cul.
tivation beyond which the wealthiest and
most favored of other lands cannot 60"
The public departments were closed and
all official business suspended on the day
OF the funeral.
1t is estimated that $1,000 persons
witnessed the impressive ceremonies.

The Republicans of Carbon county have
presented Daniel Kalbfus, Esq for the con-
slderation of the conference soon TO meet in
this place, cs suitable person to be the
nominee of the Republican party for Con-
gress. Mr.. K. is thoroughly reliable Re-
publican, gentleman of fine talents and at.
tainmcnts, ready and eloquent speaker. a
sturdy DICTATOR, and, if elected, would repre-
sent US with greater ability, and more to our
credit, at Washington, than.it has been our
lot TO be represented in many years. We
opine that his nomination depends only on
the solutien of the question as. TO whether
Carbon county is entitled to the candidate.
There can certainly be no objection TO him
either personally or politically.
We observe, by the Mauch Chunk Ga
zeHe, that Mr. Kalbfus has challenged the
Democracy of Carbon to trot out its cham
pion, 70 take the stump with him, this fall
and discuss the issues of the campaign before
the people. This is, literally. boarding the
Democratic lion in his own den. We doubt
however, whether the Democracy will ac-
cePt the challenge. Somehow such work
ooh seem to agree either with its cham
pions or its principles.

A Dear Platform.

On the Fourth of July last gold was
quoted in the money market at 1873, with
in fraction more or less On the Fourth
of July last the Democratic Convention
assembled in New York and within day
or two promulgated its platform in which
Uuited States securities are threatened
with reputation. 1t is well known that
these securities regulate, by their price,
the price of gold. Steadily and daily the
price of gold has risen in the market since
the Democratic Convention adjourned,
until at this time the precious metal Is

PRONUNCIATION of Democratic financial doc
trine has raised the price OF gold se0e"
per cent.

of everything else. The currency which
we use daily is rendered incapable oi

Democratic Convention by say seven pei

Another Robbery of the Adams Express.

press Company was robbed of about ST.

Office on the second floor of No Ia, Sc

morning the package was delivered by
the messenger, who, while waiting for
receipt, was seized by the throat by a man
in the Office, while another applied chloro-
form to him. The messenger struggled
violently, and, not yielding readily to tho
influence of the chloroform, was struck
three heavy blows on the head with a
heavy iron bar. The robbers then rifed
the messengers pouch of the contents.-
The messenger, Isaac Cross, is badly hurt,
having three ugly wounds on his head,
and is severely injured on one hand.

The Dry Goods Trade.

: The Ledger. of Monday last says:-
"The dry goods trade still hangs heavy,
though it is now time that the fall trade
had commenced. We have rarely known
time when those in the trade in this
city have confessed to greater dullness.
Commission msn, iobbers and retailerss
are alike resting on their oars, aud al
most universally confess to the fact that
they arc not making expenses. Some Of
the more timid are becoming frightened at
the prospect, and are disposed to make
some concession in prices IN o5dcr effect

6rmness, are unyiclding in their dor.snrts

likely to be disappointed. In staple COT
tons prices average about the same. Here
and there a fraction has been yielded to-
crowd off temporary accumulation, while
low grades aud styles not very pleHty
have been sold at slight gain on former
quotations. The recent rise in gold has
aided in strengthening the market

their credits within the shortest possible
limit. What the future may bring forth
as regards the currency no one knows

payment of debts no easy thing. While

market for domestics, it appears to have

Dissatisfaction among the Hancock Demo


Gratis.
Gen. Boyton writes from Washington
to The Cincinnati Gazette:
Gen. Steedman was one of the most pro
minent men in the Hancock movement.
The day after the nomination Seymour
called on him at his hotel, the mission
being one of Cancellation. But, as the
result showed, very little comfort did Sey-
mour receive. Steedman told him plainly
that his nomination had been accomplish
ed by trick, which was but another
name for fraud told him that no hon
est soldier could support him that he
was representative of the Peace Demo
cracy alone and that, however much he
and his friends might attempt to distort,
conceal, or apologize for his record dur
ing the war, every soldier in the land
would scorn it, and desert the man or the
party which approved it. This was but
a part of Steedman's honest language
and Steedman, unlike some who feel as
he does, tells every one openly that IL
