Decrease.......... 40, ,45O 2.

decreased 62, 800, the falling off in the Repub.
lican ranks was 40, 450 and in the Democratic
ranks q, $50. This shows that 1S, 100 more
Republicans than Democrats kept away from
the polls in 1867, thereby giving the State to
the Democracy by the beggarly majority of
922 votes. Now, for the sake of the argument,
we will concede that the Democracy, by the
aid of alltheir traditional appliances, including
plentiful supply of coffee-colored naturalza-
tion papers, will be able to regain the full COM
plement of their loss, 22,350. To counter
balance both this and last years majority of 922,
and to give us the State by round majority
OF 250O, we must regain 25,772, still leaving
in reserve a Republican column Of nearly
Is, 600 voters who took an active part in the
campaign Of 1866. The vote in this year was
a remarkably full one, and it is not probable
that it will be, or can be, in the aggregate,
materially increased at either of the coming
elections. If such should prove to be the
case the struggle will be for the support of the
Republican reserve of $1,000, and to enable
the Democrats to cancel our assumed majority
of $500, and at the same time to offset the
votes of such of the $1,000 in reserve as re-
main faithful to their past record, they must
recover their lost adherents, over q, 900 in
number, and, in addition, succeed in prose
lyting at least 5000 voters who supported the
Republican ticket in 1866. In a population
which embraces nearly 6OO, 900 voters, this
may not appear very formidable task. II
the Republicans were entirely inactive, 1t
might possibly be accomplished. But they
are by no means lacking in spirit and energy,
and it is safe to say that for every Republican
who can be persuaded, through the instru-
mentality of torchlight professions and empty
platitudes about white mans government,
to desert his principles at this great crisis in
the nations history, there will be found at
least one man heretofore voting the Demo
cratic ticket who will regard Seymour as too
heavy a dose, when coupled with Hampton
and Forrest.
In short, II is evident, from careful and
candid examination of the figures given above,
that nothing short of great "reaction" will
avail the Democratic party at this juncture.
Such "reaction" has been loudly prophesied,
but wherever the lines have come together ON
the battlefield, it has been discovered that
the great bulk Of the party which sustained
the Government throughout the war has re-
manned true and faithful to its standard. This
fact was developed by the results Of the recent
elections in Vermont and Maine, and it needs
no inspiration to predict that in Pennsylvania
there will be the same termination to the con-
test. Putting 1t all together, the Cheering
pewsr which comes to our Democratic con.
temporary "from every portion of the State,'
is, despite the percentages OF Mr.. Wallace, of
a very oheerless character. Nothing short of
downright folly on our part, which shall fairly
rival that of the Hampton Democracy, can
cause the State to go against us. OF such
folly we have not as yet been guilty.

of each State respectively, and that any
attempt by Congress-, on any pretext what
ever, to deprive any State of this right, or
to interfere with its exercise, is fragrant
usurpatiOn OF power which can find no
warrant in the Constitutions; and, if sane
toned by the people, will subyert our form
Of Government, and can only end in a
single centralized and consolidated Go
vernment, in which the separate existence
of the States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism be established
IN place of q Federal Union of co-equal
States; and that we regard the reconstruc-
tlon Acts (so-called) of Congress as such
are usurpations, and unconstitutional, re-
voiutionary, and void; that our soldiers
and sailors,' who carried the flag of our
country to victory against most gallant

given in their favor must be faithfully car
ricd into execution.

When grants of, the public lands NAV be

That the President of the United States,
Andrew johnson, in exercising the power
OF his high Office in resisting the aggres-
sions of Congress uponHthe constitutional
rights of the States and the people, is en-
titled to the gratitude of the whole Ameri
can people, and in behalf Of the Democra-
tic party, we tender him our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
the conservative element and all who de
sire to support the Constitution andre
store tho Union, forgetting all past differ
present great struggle for the liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to what
ever party they may have heretofore be-
longed, we extend the right hand of fell
lowship, and hail all such cooperating
with us as friends and brethren.

GRECIAN BENDERS.

She stepped upon the platform
Her grace can't forget
For oh that Grecian bend OF hers
Clines TO my memory yet.
Her smile was like the sunbeam
Her bonnet "some," you bet;
Bu. that lovely GrccIsn bend oI hers
Was the "heavies" bend noi.
Her waterfall was gorgeous,
And all who saw contend
That her grace was never equaled
BY the Saraiogs bend.
But alas. for the maIden's beauty,
Dust will return 10 dust.
And the most enchanting bender
Is doom to moth and rust.
In stooplng to assume her seat,
hate to tell, but must,
Some wbslebone ihing thai stayed her up
Bent double-and then bust
She softly sighed. and sweeIly smiled.
And then in accents tender.
A, she rubbed her back, she gently said
Thank heaven, J. m of my bender
