Mayor of Baltimore, and recently Sheriff of
this city Thomas H. Moles, late Senator:
John Thomson, late member of the House

Der of the House of Delegates; Adam Kohl
er, Joseph Hawes, ex-members Of the Leg
islature; William H. Pearce and John H.

power. ] have determined not TO be fright
ened by the hobgoblin of negro equality but
shall vote for Grant We have not to be
afraid of these people whom we have lifted
up and tried to make men Of Our object Is

THADDEUs STEVENS.

The remains Of Thaddeus Stevens, the
Great Commoner, were inferred at Lancas-
ter, Pa, on Monday last, with appropriate
honors. The citizens Of Lancaster, with
many distinguished men from all parts Of
the country, together with the Governor and
Heads of Departments of the State, follow

last tribute of respect to the honored dead
In him the nation moums the loss of fear

scientious statesman, and an incorruptible
patriot. Pennsylvania has lost in him her
most distinguished citizen, and one to whom
her people owe larger debt of gratitude
than any other man who has ever lived
within her borders. Her Common School
System is the product of his far-seeing
craftsmanship, and was established alone BY
his fearless advocacy of it, when it was
fought with the most bitter opposition BY a
slave bound aristocracy. Whatever his
shortcomings, he has been a benefactor to
the state and the nation, and it will be long
ere we look upon his like again. whether
for great ability, sterling integrity, or far
seeing craftsmanship. One of the most
remarkable men of his age, his name viii

country's history. As the fearless leader of
Congress through the darkest days of our
history, he well deserves, and viii long be
known and honored by the name of the
Great Commoner. He died at the post of
duty. Full OF honors and of years he has
gone to his reward. A bereaved nation

A DEMOCRAT was overheard to ask a
Republican whether he knew the cause of
the adjournment ofthe Democratic meeting,
on last Saturday evening, from the Court
House to the front of Shoemaker's Hotel.
The Republican couldn't tell unless it was
feared that no person could be induced to go
to the Court House. ''No, no, y said the
Democrat, they adjourned to the hotel so
they would have the whisky handy. Ow-
ing to the smaIlness of the crowd, it is said,
the proprietor didn't realize a fortune out
of the speculation. The next meeting will
be held in front of the Mengel House, or the
County Treasurer viii bolt. The profits
of these meetings must be fairly divided or
there viii be a division in the camp There
have not been any meetings in front of the
Union, this may account for the decIina-

Yention. How much of a percentage do
the landlords pay the Chairman of the Dem
oeratic Committee out of the profits Of
these meetings?

The Democratic Party is engaged in the
small business of calling all persons, who
emigrate TO the Southern States, carpet
baggers, . however, it is but a short time
since they as etfectualy abused the 'knap-
sackers" who made incursions in the same
direction. The Democratic party has only
one idea and that is to eat dirt before the
Southerners and toady to them. 1t is the
same old doughface and dirt eating party
that it has been time out of mind.

THE system Of slavery has undergone a
change in this country A few years ago
none but negroes were subject to the South
ern masters, now the tune has changed, the
negro is a free man, and the whole Demo
cratic party Of the north have taken the
place of the negroes. and we are under the
impression that they are the more obedient
of the two to the rebel aristocracy of the
South. No Northern Democrat dares to
deny or dispute the right of the southern
rebel to domineer over him.
