Giving it Up.

We have said that dispassionate Demo
Gratis give up and concede the election OF
Grant. OF certain class. the Round Ia
bic is an exponent. The last number OF that
paper comedies the whole case, as follows;
Now that the question of the Presiden,,
cy is virtually decided, let US hope that good
men of ali parties will accept the situation,
resolve TO make the best of things, and unite
in hearty effort to restore the prosperity
and accord of the country. We have been
among the minority who have thought that
the best roads to national restoration, either
in heart or purse, did not lie in the direction
our Republican friends would have US pur-
sue /; but when it becomes manifest that,
through lawful means, We are constrained to
go in that direction and 10 othsr, we are dis
posed to do so with i willing spirit, and to
hope that the consequences may be better
than we have anticipated"
In another article the Round Table says
''the Democratic leadership has been so dis
astrously bad that it deserves to be dwelt
upon, and, if possible, burnt into the mem
ory of the country.

All-Hail. West Virginia.

The State election in West Virginia on
Thursday last, October 22d, resulted in
grand Republican triumph. The vote
from q counties. casting four -ffths of the
vote of the State, indicates Republican
majority of about 5000. We carry every
Congressional district, and elect three fourths
of the members Of the Legislature, on JOINT
ballot, which secures US a United States
Senator in place Of Van Winkie, who, we
trust, will be a firm Union man. West Vir-
ginia is the Seventh gun against the new
rebellion. She will give largely increased
majority for Grant and Co,fax. Then, all
hail free Virginiat the worthy scion of the
land of Washing gton and Jefferson. Nav
your bright star of freedom never shine less
brilliant than it does at present.

"The New Rebellion" I"

Certain arms, purchased for the State of
Arkansas, were recently shipped from Mem
phis for their destination. They had been
kept on the wharf several days; numerous
threats had been made that they should
never reach Arks snsas; and the ku klux
Democracy of Memphis had kept close
watch upon them. Shortly after the boat
carrying them had left Memphis a tug was
seized by an organized party, thoroughly
drilled and under strict military discipline.
They proceeded down the river-in pursuit
getting ready meanwhile for fight, their
surgeon taking out his instruments for work,
and everything indicating . thorough prep
aration for their piratical undertaking. Con-
trary to their expectation. there was no re-
sistance to their attack; they held armed
possession of the boat until all the muskets
had been destroyed, and then abandoned it.
The full particulars of this extraordinary
occurrence are given, but the above are the
essential facts. Some innocent persons OBJ
ject to the phrase sometimes used, ''The
New rebellion Will they please tell US
under what more appropriate heading an
occurrence like this could be classified? And
when they have made that explanation, per-
haps they may be able to dwell with the
pleasing JUNCTION that always marks their
performances in that line upon the long suf
fering, meek and peacable character of our
prosecuted Southern brethren of the Sey-
mour and Blair Tor Chase and Adams, or
any other NAM persuasion.

Blair Ignored.

Seymour, Belmont, and all the Tammany
leaders, entirely ignore Blair in their speech
esIaddresses and proclamations Poor Frank,
he's dead weight. His revolutionary let
ter, and atrocious threat that Grant should
never leave the White House alive" are
too much even for Democratic stomachs,
though their mucous membrane. are like the
hide OF the rhinoceros. Hence they put
him entirely in the back ground, and Sey-
mour devotes himself to the hopeless task
of convincing the people that it is not the
Democratic intention to do anything violent
or revolutionary. But the people are not
to be deceived by Horatio's specious prom
ises to get votes. They know perfectly well
that it was Blair's letter that secured him
his nomination, and that his threat of Grants
assassination was applauded to the echo by
his Democratic auditors. They know, more
over, that Wade Hampton, and the other
Southern rebels, who made the platform and
nominated the candidates, boldly declared
that the lost cause would be redeemed by
the election of Seymour and Blair, and that
the whole South has been resonant during
the entire canvass with the threats of these
traitors. Horatio is too late with hi. prom
ises. The blatant Blair ought to have been
repressed sooner. Hampton and his rebel
crew ought to have kept quiet until after the
election. "Forewarned is forearmed," and
the people will see to it, that no risk is run
by placing either traitors or their friends"

The Election Frauds in Philadelphia.

A mass meeting of the Republican citi-
zens of Philadelphia, under the auspices of
the Union League, was held at Concert Hall
on Friday evening last, to unite In an ex-

late election. Mr.. Samuel Fl. Perkins pre-
sided, and pertinent speeches were made by
Henry D. Moore, Esq, ex-Gov Pollock, I.

and Frederick Fraley, Esqrs- Resolutions
were adopted denouncing the naturalization

ruffians from other States, and the course
of the Sheriff in stationing deputies at
the polls, and declaring it to be the duty
of the Republican candidates to contest
the election, pledging them support in
doing So On motion of Mr.. Brown, com

LAcoNIcAL. A. Wallace, hav-
ing retired to the depths of his inner con-
sciousness for six days subsequent to the
last election, has conceived and brought
forth an address 1t is without date, but
characteristic, photographic, jerky, exclama-
tory, and supposed to be stimulating.
''You have fought good fight" ex-
claims the sensational leader to his shatter-
ed hosts, but in his usual disjointed style,
or perhaps for want of thorough acquaint-
ance with scriptural literature, he neglects
to give the remaining and really opposite
portion of the quotation: You have finish
cd your course" If Mr.. Wallace is going
to resort to biblical language in this extrem-
ity we suggest in view of the late riot and
murder, st. James, chap. 4, verse 2: "Ye
Kill, We fight, and war yet ye have not" 1t
sums up the whole campaign on the part of
the desperate and worsted democracy

arranging another raid on the ballot boxes
in this State on the Sd prox. They have
abandoned all hope of carrying Chic, and
now intend to bring over enough Democrats,
with what they can spare from Delaware
and Maryland, to carry Pennsylvania for

naturalizations, it will prove failure The

ish the great work they have in hand-the
utter overthrow and annihilation of the de-

The Result in Pennsylvania,

Despite the large number of fraudulent
naturalizations, and the immense COLOMBIA
tion from neighboring States, the Republi
can party has elected its State ticket By
9,677 majority-sixteen of the twenty four
members of Congress-eighteen of the thir-
ty-three members of the State Senate, and
sixtyone of the one hundred members of
the House of Representatives This is truly
. grand and complete triumph, and a glo-
rious victory over desperate and unscrupu-
lous political foe, who resorted to every
species of fraud and rascality to defeat the
will of the people. But. let there be no
relaxation of effort to secure the victory at
the Presidential battle in November, for we
have still to contend against the same willy, cor
rupt and desperate party which confronted
US in October, and who will resort to any fair
or unfair means for success. Then, close up
the ranks and press on the Union column, so
as to make our majority for Grant and Col
fax, on Tuesday next, as large as possible.

Horatio on the War Path.


As last resource the demoralizeG and ter
| ror- stricken sachems of Tammany have got
| Horatio on the stump in person. he began
in Buffalo on the 22d inst: and Is to speak
| in this State during the present week
Speech making killed Gen. Scott when he
was candidate, and if anything had been
wanting to render certain the overwhelming
defeat of Seymour, it would have been this
stumping tour.
There is an mate sense of propriety in
every man, that is shocked by Presidential
candidate travelling over the country solicit
ing votes. The thing in itself is bad
enough, but when the candidate descends, as
Seymour has done, to the use of billingsgate,
characterising u S. Senators as ''vagrants.'
''miscreants, &c, it is not only shocking
to the sense of propriety, but disgusting TO
every right minded man. Following the
example of his friend, Andrew johnson,
when he Swung around the circle" he be-
gan in Buffalo, by the use of epithets and
hard names, and he will end in New York,
by being the worst whipped and most uni
versally despised candidate that ever ran for
an office in America
With the exception cf these epithets, the
speech contained nothing new. In argument
it was a simple re- hash of what has been
often and better said by the Democratic
stumpers on the subject of Reconstruction
and Finance. He especially complained
about the distribution of capital under the
National Banking Act. He is the last man
to complain that too many bonds were taken
by Eastern capitalists. He boasted that he
never held Government bond, and having
refused to aid the Government IN its extrem-
ity he ought to be ashamed to find fault
with those who did. The Government had
enough to do to put down the Democratic
Rebellion, and take care of Mr. Seymour
and his New York friends, without enter
ing into nice mathematical calculations as to
how many bonds ought to be taken by East
ern States and how many by the Western.
1t was glad to get money to pay its soldiers
and sailors, their widows and orphans, with
out inquiriDg too closely whether more of it
ho 10 ~
over, the thing regulates itself The cur
rency naturally goes wherever it is needed
most, and being of equal value East and
West, North and South, it distributes itself
Just IN the proportion that production and
labor require it. His financial argument is
simply piece of sophistry, too transparent
to deceive any man of ordinary intelligence
The more he speaks, the fewer votes he will
get. We have neither time or space to an
alyze his speech, nor is it necessary. His
record is familiar to the people-the plat
form on which he was nominated has been
thoroughly ventilated and discussed. and the
majorities in several States have condemned
both it and him. His sophistry comes too
late. He has, in truth, been caught up
by the whelming tide" aud on the 3rd day
of November he will go down so deep in his
sea of troubles that nothing but the |
mighty blast of GabriePs trump will ever
reach him. Good bye, Horatio.

The oldest tannery in this country is at
Bethlehem, Pa. 1t was built originally by
Moravians in l743, and rebuilt and enlarg-
ed by them in 176l. They sunk eleven vats,
which have teen repaired, but are still in
use. The building is of stone, three stories
high the walls on the first story are thirty
inches thick, and on the next two stories
twenty-six and twenty inches respectively in
thickness The Moravians who settled in
Bethlehem, under the leadership of Count
Zinzendorf, erected this very substantial
structure to tan the hides and deerskins
used by them.

Seymour is not addicted to making enthu-
siastic speeches. There is nothing encour-
aging in him or his speeches On the con-
trary, there is vein of misery running
through all the speeches he has delivered
This fact has been remarked more than once
tpuzzles some people. But it is quite nat
ural. He feels as he speaks-mournful
downcast, downhearted, disconsolate 1t is
not in the nature of things for man who is
utterly hopeless to get off sparkling, hope
tul, encouraging, enthusiastic speech, and

declinss,the Government bonds go up. The

next gold will be lower than it has been
since 1862, and goods of all descriptions will
