COMPARE THE Two. Kentucky gave
two-thirds Of her SONS to the rebel cause, and
Democratic majority this year of nearly
10000. This out of population of / 200
600. Vermont gave three-fourths of her
sons to save the Union, and this year a
majority of 10000 to sustain Republican
institutions. Her population numbers
| $4,000. In Kentucky there are thousands
unable to read and write In Vermont,
fifty would cover the number In Kentucky
a man IS hung if he declares that treason
should be punished. In Vermont, free
speech IS tolerated on any subject not filed
with obscenity or profanity, and even to
suppress that the greatest moderation is
always exercised. In Kentucky obscene ex-
presslons and profane words are encouraged:
for proof Of which see the paper lately con-
trolled BY Prentice, and notice the large
circulation of Pomeroy's weekly in that
State. Vermont is land of steady. in
teligent people. Kentucky is a State. full
Of vice, and where crimeis seldom punished.
Vermont receives her full share of emigrants
from foreign countries. Kentuckyis avoid

closely watched and guarded all through the

pledged itself 70 the preservation of peace,
law and order throughout the land. On the
contrary, the Democratic party, after having
by cruel, bloody and causeIess rebellion
involved the country in war and loaded the
nation with debt and the people with taxes
now proposes to repudiate the debt and to
inaugurate new rebellion. Who, when he
considers the records of the two parties can
hesitate as to his duty? On the one hand
is Seymour and Blair and the Democratic
party, after having loaded the country with
debt and taxes, already proposing new
war and more debt and taxes. On the 9th
er hand is Grant and Colfax and the Repub-
lican party, after having putdown the rebel,
hon and paid half of the immense debt,
pledged to a continuance of peace, the hon
est payment of our debt and the rapid re-
moval of taxes. Who can help but vote for
Grant and Colfax? 1t is the nations only
hope of peace, security and prosperity.

The Tribune states that it has been in
formed of an incident which occurred at the
New York Convention, which is full of sig
nihcance, and shows that from the first it
was determined to force upon the party
the adoption of Frank Blair's ''wiping on"
policy. 1t gets its facts from an entirely
trustworthy source, and heirperfect authen-
tlelty may be depended upon. After PEN
dleton defeat became assured his friends
In the Convention took counsel as TO whom
they should cast their votes for as second
choice Ii was determined that all West
ern names should be ruled out in order to
preserve Pendleton' chance in 1879 v arr
oas names were suggested, and among the
rest that of Reyerdy johnson 1t was con-
ceded that he would make a strong candi-
date-probably the strongest that could be
put up. 1t was urged, however, as fatal
objection to him-not only by the PendIe-
tonians, but by the Rebel Delegates that
he had voted for the Reconstruction bills in
Congress, and that The party syus pledged to
undo all that had been done aRder those
Jaaos. Reverdy Johnson's name was drop
ped for that reason alone. No question was
raised that that was to be the leading issue
of the canvass. Subsequent events have
proven that it is the real issue, and that all
others are subordinated to il. Southern
leaders insist that it shall be openly ayow-

TIE copperheads profess to oppose taxa
ton, yet they advocate free trade, which
would give us no revenue at all from duties
on imports and luxuries, aud, instead of
light taxes on few things ike whisky, to-
baeco, banks, incomes &c, would necessitate
direct taxes on everything. Such system
would give equal taxation with a vengeance.
1t would tax equally the poor mans bread
and butter and the rich mans luxurious
carriages and rich furniture 1t would send
the tax-gatherer into the widow cot and
the poor mans cabin as well as the rich
mans palace. Such is the policy of Sey-
mour and Blair and the copperhead party.
If the poor man wants his bread and but
ter taxed and the widow, her pig and COW,
let them all cry until they are hoarse for
Seymour and Blair. IF they wish to be
exempt from the visits of the tax-gatherer
let them use all their influence for Grant
and Colfax.

a WORD TO TAX PAYERS.

No better test, Of the fitness or unftness
Of party for governing State or country,
can be found, than the economy with which
it manages the finances. Let us examine
the two parties in Pennsylvania by this test.
Previous to 1860 the Democratic party had
ruled the State time out of mind, and when
Gov. Curtin was inaugurated the State was
about S3s, ,0OO, 900 in debt and every foot Of
land in the State was burdened with State
tax. How does it stand now? After eight
years of Republican rule, though in that
time nearly $6,0OO,OO0 we're expended in
arming and equipping men to put down a
Democratic rebellion, the debt is reduced
about S., 900 and not foot of land in
the State is any longer liable to taxation.
Farmer, who is your fiend2 Taxpayer,
who is your friend2 Is it the Democratic
party, that continually increased your State,
debt and burdened your lands, more and more
each year, with taxes2 Or, is it the Repub,
lican party, that has reduced the State debt
almost at the rate of million of dollars q
year, even in time of war, and removed
the State tax from your land entirely
Have you any doubt? If you want this
policy of paying off the State debt anG
tightening and removing taxation continued
vote for Hartranft and Campbell, the candi.
dates of the party of retrenchment and re
form. II you want the State debt increased
and your houses and lands again burdened
with State tax, by all means vote the cop
perhead ticket from beginning to end, and
you will get debt and taxes to your heart,
content A word to the wise is sufficient.

THE Democrats have fshed up fifteen
Union generals who, they say, win vote for
Seymour. But two Of them have publicly
pronounced for Grant; one Of the others is
dead; one was punished by court-martial;
two never saw battle, and FIVE left the
army in disgrace. OF the remaining four,
no name has any weight but that of Slocum.
