PENNSYLVANIA. August. 1868.
EDIToRs LEDGER: The late Jewish
demonstration in your city is having
fine effect in this region, and gives an
impetus to q political ball that will grow
by accretion until its resistless power
will crush ont that "unclean thing"
that is now fostering upon the body
polite. There is no surer indication Of
the downfall of that monstrosi,y, Rad-
calism. than the stand taken by the Jews
of the United States in the approaching
election. No people prognosticate COM
ing events with clearer mental vision
than these clear headed Jews; and when
their fortunes and influence are with
drawn from n party or community, it is
the dcant courier of the dissolution Of
the one or decay Of the other have
been with them on the battle field, in the
military prison, and marched shoulder
to shoulder with them, and when devoted
to O cause, have found that their lives,
fortunes and honors are at its beck and
call; and it should he source Of con-
graduation to the Democracy of the
country that the Jews of the United
States have cast their lot with them in
the great struggle that is approaching
between Democracy and Absolutism
Your city is fortunatein ranking among
her citizens men of probity and courage,
as E. A. Frankland and A. s. Levy
capitalists like Loewenstine and Seessel,
and hundred others. They are true
men, and it was a glorious day for the
country when they espoused the cause of
constitutional liberty, in opposition to
the lawlessness of fanaticism, that would
inaugurate war Of races, thus delugipg
the South with blood. | have ascer.
tanned one fact since my sojourn in this
section-I have it from the best and
truest men of the party-which is this,
that the great Democratic party of the
North do not intend to let the Radicals
use foul play. 1t will be ballot or bullet
mark that And it behooves carpet-
baggers to keep shady, as on the first
blast of bugle from the Democratic
watch-tower, ringing in clarion notes
that the Radicals are playing foul, wo
betide the members of that party who
thus pollute the sanctity of the elective
franchise with their unholy hands. A
word to the wise is sufficient. nihn
"Charie" Carrigan, of Philadelphia,
one of the best extempore orators ever
heard, and gentleman, who won me, By
praising Major Cluskey, formerly of the
Apalanche, whom he knew in Washing
ton, made speech at this place some
nights since, in which he said, am
tired of being called copperhead and
traitor, and shall adopt in future plan
which l recommend all good Democrats
to imitate-the next man who applies
one of these epithets to me, / shall cram
the lie down his throat with this good
fst," which assertion one could easily
imagine could and would be acted on,
when Carrigan's fiery eye and stalwart
frame was viewed from the pigmy stand
point of Radicalism. The objective point
of the Democratic party is that Augean
stable at the Federal capitol, for the pur
pose of giving it hercuean cleansing
and they are going there l-by the ballot,
if fair play is the game; if foul is used,
they may take some other route The
South must stand firm-no shirking-but
if Brownlow and his myrmidons mean
to use those muskets, why, let your cor
respondent say, that forewarned is fore
armed" but not always, when guns are
scarce. The Northern Democracy is de-
termined that the vote of the South shall
be free and untrammeled, and let this
assure the Southern people--if the Radi-
cal party don't stop their deviltry, why,
there will be somebody hurt, that's all,
and it won't be q Democrat in every in
stance.
/ had the pleasure of an introduction
to Dick Vaux, formerly Mayor of Phila-
formerly an old line Wing, like your
humble correspondent, who was left out
in the wet by the objection of our North
ern brothers in 1861, but who is nov for
Constitution and the Union, who spares
neither money, time nor energy to assist
in carrying to its ultima thule the genius
of the great party whose cause he so ar
dently espouses. alude to Harry |
Coggshall, of ofGermantown, Pa, whose ex-
pressed sympathies for our downtrodden |
land is free and fearless 3 ~ !
| am not astonished at the refusal
of the Senate to confirm the nomi-
nation of ]. NJ. Heating, Esq, of
your city. He don't suit the |
Radicals. 1t is to be regretted, his failure
to obtain the position, as Mr.. Heating is
one Of the best business men in your city, |
and one whose administration would |
have given entire satisfaction TO your
citizens You can depend upon the es-
tabishment of principle by the Radi-
calls in power, that no person shall hold
Office vko ever sympathiged with the
South in her late struggle, 1. c.. If they
know ii; and none win question Mr..
Keatng's ardent feelings in this partic-
ular. To give you an illustration of the
men who have brought those truths
upon us, ! furnish an incident in rela-
ton to one Of the three thousand cler-
gymen who signed the petition to "abol-
ish slavery in the District Of Columbia."
On stepping from the cars some days
since, it was quite warm, bland gentle
man politely offered his umbrella. Not
being accustomed to such an article, |
declined, but drifting into conversation,
be informed me he had come 10 preach
at the village church" aud to kill two
birds with one stone, said be was solicit
ing for religious magazine that his
name was Taylor; and, says this self
abnegator: II am a New Englander,
and belong to the clergy Of that region,
whom / deem one Of the most intelligent
bodies of men on the earth, and / never
shall forget says this astuie member Of
the clergy Aforesaid, the weight Of our
voice when three thousand Of us signed
that bill, something about Kansas aud
