Committee.

| DsM0cRATic sT,Ts COMMITTEE hooxs, I
| ool Arch Street, Philadelphia, Aug. 81, 1868 !
To the People Of Rsansylcania:
| The Radicals reproduce the stale ISLANDERS
Of the past, and try to ignore the grave
questions Of the present.
They prate Of their loyalty and make il
the excuse Of their corruption, their extrav'
agance and their misrule.
They imagine that you have slept during
three years Of their iniquitous mis.govern,
ment, and lhatyo will forget that taxation
oppresses you, that your commerce Ian
guishes, and that your business is broken
up.
They have proven themselves powerful to
destroy and powerless to restore.
Their only policy is hate, and upon this
they ssk q new lease Of power, forgetful that
thinking and practical people require
them to answer:
Why is the national debt greater now than
when Lee surrendered, and why does it still
increase?
What has become Of the fifteen hundred
millions Of dollars they have wrung from
the comforts and necessities Of the people
since June, 1865?
Why are more than one hundred millions
of dollars annually wasted on the unrecon.
structed South, and why is it not made to
yield us as much, to relieve us from taxa.
ton, and aid in paying our debt?
Why is the white man made the inferior
of the negro in every Southern State?.
Why is ono class Of men totally exempt
from taxation whilst all others groan beneath
the load they should aid in bearing?
Why shall the 500 bonds be paid in gold,
when by the express terms of the contract,
they were made payable in legal.tender
notes?
Why is tie Constitution violated and the
Union not restored, and why are our re-
sources wasted, the people oppressed, the
cost Of living trcbled, and our trade de.
stroyed?
Democrats Of Pennsylvania, arouse the
people. Organize speaking canvass in
every locality. Go into the strongholds of
Radicalism, and teach the people.
Direct your arguments to reason and not
to the passions. Confne them to the living
issues of the present and Of the immediate
future.
Parsue tie enemy
Our grand old State moves steadily but
surely into her true place in the Democratic
line.
From every section comes the glad news
of defiant and united Democracy, and Of a
torpid and dispirited foe.
Organization, energy and united effort
will bring you glorious victory.
Arouse the people. Teach tho people.
Pursue the enemy.

mittee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE,

REMEMBER TINES GONE Y.-Some Of the
Republicans really have the impudence to
approach Democrats for their support for
Grant and Colfax Just look at the un.
bounded impudence of these men No less
than four short years ago, these same Re.
publicans, when speaking Of Democrat
who had independence sufficient to defend
his principles openly, would say, "never
mind, he will soon be put where the dogs
won't bark at hint will only cost three
cents to send him there-a letter to Mr..
Seward, will be all suficient-Seward will
ring his little bell, and off the secessionist
goes" Democrats, you all remember thi,
sad time yet; and take our word for it, the
same times will be reinstated should Grant
be elected. Now is the time to act.

ANOTHER JOURNALIST GoNE.-John D..
Mendenhall, Assistant Editor Of the Doyles-
town Democrat, died at Doylestown Pa, on
Monday, 18th ult., aged 81 years. Mr..
Mendenhall acted as editor Of the Democrat
during the three years that Gen. W. W. FL.
Davis, the proprietor and present editor,
was in the army. Mr.. Mendenhall was an
able and energetic journalist, and conducted
the paper. which is one of the best weekles
in the country, with much ability. His
health has been delicate for q long time
past. He was originally from Chester coun.
ty. The West Chester Jefersonian says Of
him: ''.''.
"Mr. Mendcnhall was naturally Of a kind
and amiable disposition, and . man OF
sterling integrity. No one could know him
without respecting him. He had for years
been faithful and sincere member Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and he died
as he had lived truly christian man."

Democratic Prospects North
and South.

The New York Herald which has unit
recently been a powerful advocate Of The
election Of Gen. Grant to the Presidency
publishes the following despatch from Wash
ington, showing the utter hopelessncss oi
the Radical party.
"All the adviccs received here recently
from the South represent carpet.bagism a,
on its death bed. With the exception oi
Florida and South Carolina all the Southern
States are conceded as certain to go for Sey
mour and Blair. The radical organizations
in the reconstructed region are dwindling
away rapidly, and detection has reached
their very stronghold with such alarming
results that the carpet bag heroes see moth,
ing but ruin ahead. They have discovered
their great weakness in the very spot where
they looked for an impregnable tower Of
strength. The negroes whom they relied
upon as their right arm Of power have be.
como disgusted and proclaim that the white
radical is greater enemy IT, them than the
white rebels who were lately their masters.
The most intelligent blacks, therefore, have
determined to join hands with their old
masters and thus drive away the carpct-bag
adventurcrs from the South to their native
element. This reputation of radicalism by
the colored citizens is overwhelming the re-
publican leaders Of the South, and consc-
qucntly they are beginning to realize that
they have been caught in their own trap.
Several shrcwd republicans who have just
returned from different parts of the South
admit that Sambo has turned the tables
upon them completely and that now their
only hope Of success is in the North. This
last hope seems not to have a very firm
hold Of them either, judging by the manner
in which they write to their friends in this
city. The correspondence sent here from
different States in the East and West by
radical stumpers and managers is Of the
most desponding character. They admit
that Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio are
lost to Grant and Colfax beyond redemption
and one of them decairs that Illinois will
go the same way unless strong efforts are
made to save it. Logan's defeat as Con-
gresham at large from the State is spoken
Of as certain, but the electoral ticket it is
urged, may be carried by clever engineering
The most sanguine republican have seen
here from Colfax's State only figures up q
republican majority Of three thousand in
Indiana. This republican is one of the
most shrewd and influential politicians in
the State of Indiana In fact the impress.
sion IS very general here now that Seymour
and Blair will be elected by very decisive
majority, because the people of the country
are determined to have change anyhow.

Give us Old Times

Give us back the days when the husband,
man sa. by his cheerful evening fire, or rested
on the ground beneath the tree planted by
those long since dead, and read not of the
chickering's, dissensions, strifes and plunder-
ings, but Of great and glorious Union Of
States, each one peaceful, industrious and
happy.
Give us back the days when the dignificd
and contented matron sang olden and light
hearted ballads as she made the spinning
wheel hum so lively, and had no care and
anxiety as to how her husband could pay
the taxes, or the children be educated.
Give us back the days when the crafts
man merrily whisted at his labor, knowing
that whatever he earned would come to him
in clinging, yellow gold when the week
closed.
Give US again the days when our rulers
drew an honest balance sheet with the pco-
pie who placed them in power, and spent
not their time in studying how to plunder
and cheat the hard-working ax.rayers-
when great and good statesmen raised thei,
voices in the halls Of the nation and spoke
gratefully and truthfully of the bone and
sinew Of the country.
Give US the days when the rich were taxed
as we'll as the poor-when wealth was made
to contribute to the fulncss Of the people
treasury, and the few could not overreach
the'many.
Give US back the long, long years that
glided by so smoothly and evenly under the
rule Of Democratic statesmen-when no in.
ternal struggles brought brother in contac,
with brother when father was not pitted
against son--wlen America was respected
for free government, and feared from the
bravery of her sons.
They will soon come back The people
are tired Of blood, and turmoil, and high
taycs-have tired of the robbcrics and mur.
ders engendered by fratricidal war and
they again wish peace and contentment. -
They are rising in every town and hamlet
shaking off the public leeches that have
drained their blood and money, and arc
wondering why they slept so long. Tho
present party has reached the length o.
its rope-it can so no further. For eigh
long and weary years it has never raised ,
voice for the people-never cared aught but
to til the pockets Of its leaders sought
to lessen in the least the enormous burdens
Of the struggling Taxpayers. A new sur
will dawn in November, and the old-timt
party will again be trusted and honored b,
the people whom it ever protected and
cherished. ..'
