This class of American citizens are
deeply interested in the coming cleo
tion for President of the United States
They are the originatOrs of all wealth
| They dig the canals and construct the
railroads, build the houses and csltl'
vate the land, make capital productive
infuse life into trade, commerce, and
manufactures, and thus become the very
foundation stones of the social, polltl
| cal, and industrial fabric OF the nation
Whatever system ofgovernRent or rQl(
of political action initiates against the
lust and equitable rights of work,
| ingmen, Injuries the country and
binders its progress. They want
an economical government in order
| that taxes may be low, rents mod
crate, and food and clothing cheap
They need such distribution of the
money burdens of the nation as Will
make those best able to do so carry the
heaviest load. None of these wants OF
the workingmen are recognized by tho
Radical party. They are in favor OF a
strong, expensive government, fashion
ed after those of the Old World. That
fact is proven by the experience OF the
past eight years. Such rule Is eX'
pensive. But the money comes from
the earnings of the workingmen, and
the Radicals care nothing for their in
terests. The cost of maintaining the
government has Quadrupled during the
short reign of Radicalism. a large
standing army is maintained in time OF
peace millions of negroes are fed
clothed, and housed at the expense OF
white workingmen the number of Of
| fee holders has been increased to
ruinous degree; while at the same time
laws have been enacted fastening the
chains of taxation upon workingmen
and releasing certain kinds Of property
! from all liability in the shape OF dues
for the support and maintenance OF the
government. This is what Radicalism
| has done and is doing for the workingmer
of this nation. They are ground dowr
by taxation and its attendant evils, mgr
prices. Each year the support OF a
family by honest industry becomes
more difficult. Uader bad laws fasten
ed upon the nation by the Radicals cap
ital is accommodating in the hands OF :
few, and the many are losing the posi-
tion they used to hold in this Republic
A continuation of power in the hands
of the Radicals by the election of Gen
eral Grant, is an endorsement of the ru
inous policy of the party which sup
ports him, and hence workingmen
should protect their interests by cor
dial support of the opposite doctrines
held and avowed ny the Democratic
l party.-iJe.

No Surrender

The real political significance of the
late elections is not in the general re
suit, but in the increasing Democratic
strength shown IN the vote. The re
turns prove large Democratic gains
which, it is confidently believed, SO fal
as Indiana is concerned, have actually
given us the State. The conclusion il
irresistible that Pennsylvania and OAit
as well as Indiana, will go for SEYMoUI
and BLAIR should the gains betwcer
now and November be in proportion tt
what they have been of late. 1t was
not until very recently that the canvass
was actively entered upon, and we see
what has already been accomplished.
The Presidential election is not far OF
but there is yet ample time to
bring the Northern mind to Il
lust appreciation of the momentous is
sues to be decided. We urge tho Democra
cy everywhere to renewed effort IN arous
ing popular sentiment against the de-
basing and fatal heresy of Radicalism'
We call upon them to take courage
from the fact that the lavish expehai'
ture of money, and fraud and corruP
tion in every conceivable form, coul(
not prevent brief and partial discus
sion of the political issues from result
ing in the triumph of our ticket in lndi
ana, and in large and general Demo
cratic gains in Pennsylvania and Ohio
Even if Democrats knew they woulC
be defeated next month, il would still
be their duty to be active and untirlns
in the present campaign. 4 powerful
and organized minority could do mucl
toward holding the Radicals in check
But. as we before remarked, nothing
which has thus far transpired shoul'
chill our our hopes of achieving sig
nal victory for SEYMOUR and BLAIR, 70

A Rat Story.


A miner Of the Imperial Mine of Gold
Hill, Nevada, publishes in a paper OF
that locality, the following rat story.
He says:
It is not generally known, except in
mining localities, that rats inhsbit the
mines, but such, however, is the fact.
From the top ground down to the low
est levels they are to be found in our
mines. Seine time since, the Imperial
Company stopped work as the lowest
level for several days to repair the shaft
lust above il. After resuming work,
the carman, whe was the first to 60 be-
low, went down alone to run out the
ore from the chutes, and as soon as the
rats heard the old familiar sound of the
car rumbling along the track, they
rushed out from behind the timbers to
welcome the presence of man once
more. They ran up to the carman in
SQUADS, climbed all over him, then down
to the station floor again, and scamper-
ed and gamboled around in ecstacies OF
unmistakab able delight. When he started
for the chute again with the car, they
ran following and playing around him,
and when he had filled his car with ore
and started back again for the shaft, they
(the rats) sprang upon the car and ran
all over it, and jumped and leaped as If
mad. The carman sat down a moment
to see what they would do, when they
all huddled around and ran over him
without the slightest apparent fear,
and without offering to bite him. He
did not hurt any of them, as he said II
thew could live in such place he felt
in duty bound to let them have the

A Punny Incident.

When Horatio Seymour was Governor
last time, negro was travelling the
country to procure aid for suffering ne
groes in the South. He came into oHe
of oar central New York cities, and
sought an audience to address. A
prominent lawyers wife there was IL
Istrumental in getting up q large su-
6ience for the charitable object. This
lady was Jealous and active co-laborer
in the Episcopal Church, and knowing
Gov. Seymour well, having met him sew
eral times at various Episcopal assemb-
lies, she always advocated, though an In
tense Republican, the election OF Abra-
ham Lincoln and Horatio Seymour as
being her beau ideal of public worthy
men. The negro orator, in the assem-
bly, gotten up for him, detailed a long,
rambling and incohersnt statement OF
the sufferings of the colored people down
South, and then paws-ed to receive csn-
tributions. The said lady came for
ward and gave literally to the cause
After awhile, the negro, not seeing the
plate heap up SO high a pile as he
wished, commenced: Bruddeh and
sisters, dis won't do. You mnst come
down more dan dat, as it won't psy my
'spenses. Why, brudden. l was to Al

cided sensation, when the good lady,
who got up the assembly, bolted out,
saying as she left the house, 81 wish l

cent" Her husband, staunch Demo
crat, she forgot to take along when she
went. He says he was very much an
noyed at the slight, and that his wife
ought to have paid some respect to his
feelings, if she had none for the darkey.

Mr.. PENDLEToN, in one of his recent
and powerful speeches, presented the
following picture of Radical rule, and

their interest. He said: "The Radicals

Prepare straight slcRder poles, two or
three inches in diameter, of proper
length, say eight feet; clean off yolr
ground, and commence as though you
were going to build plain rail pen,
three cornered, using two poles instead
of one, so as to make each side or wall
double, with q space of eight inches
between the poles. At one corner an
opening is left two and a half feet wide,
for door or entrance. To close and
make secure, a cheap batten door may
be made and hinged to posts or jambs
fastened to the wall of poles, after the
fence is completed.
The first tier or floor of poles having
been arranged, put on a row OF cab
bages, the roots occupying space be.
tween the poles, and the heads turned
in and pressed compactly together
Cover the roots with friable sell, and
place on another tier of poles and cab
6ages, and continue filling up space
each time with soil, until you have
gained the requisite height. A few
poles thrown across the top, and a
heavy covering of corn stalks or any
litter that will furnish secure cover
ing, is all that is necessary to complete
the house. Corn stalks, or some other
protection, should be placed against the
outside for fear of severe freezes.
A trench should be dug around the
outside, and the dirt thrown against
the cornstalks. They will serve te
render the floor or inside dry.
The cabbages thus housed will be
very convenient of access in mid-win'
ter, and will continue as fresh as il
buried underground. All that is neces'
sary is knife, with which you sever as
many heads as you want at time
leaving the stalks to give you supply
of early coleworths in spring.
In the interior you may stow away
potatoes, turnips, &c, &C., which will
keep, retaining all their freshness

They are such as are made up of two
parts of equal shapes. Look carefully
at these and you will perceive that the

so little that an ordinary eye will de-

the page upside down, and without any
careful looking, you will see that this
difference in size is very much eXsgger-
ated-that the real top half of the letter
is very much smaller than the lower

a tendency in the eye to enlarge the up,

The Washington Express says: "About
thirty men and boys are now and have
fSeen for the past four weeks employed
in the Senate folding room, at an ex.
pense of over one hundred dollars a day,
putting up Radical campaign docu-
ments for distribution throughout the
country These documents have been
forwarded at the rate of 10000 per day
and the expense of folding them is paid
out of the contingent fund of the Sen
ate. All applications for folding Dem
ocratic documents have been refused as
yet, the pressHre of the Radical Senate
committee being so great on the fold

is being sent Quits an immense placard
embracing in kthe four corners carica
lures of Seymour addressing the New
York mob, General Forrest at the Fort
Pillow affair, Admiral Semmes as the
destroyer of American commerce, and
General Wade Hampton hanging Union
