become the duty of the President elect to
overturn al the state governments in the
South and that if need be it shall be done at
the point Of the bayonet. Such is the reyo-
lutionary and disunion character Of the
Democracy at this time. They openly de-
clare that anarchy and civil war viii be their
first work if elected. No consideration is
made of the fearful cost Of human life and
treasure. No regard for the peace and
quiet the country so much needs. All
must be sacrificed for the purpose Of exal-
ting rebels to power once more and redeem
ing the lost cause. Democracy was the
sworn friend and ally of the rebellion and is
so still For the success of the rebel cause
her leaders are ready and willing again to
plunge the country into bloody civil war,
and declare their positive purpose of SO
doing. Can any good citizen, any lover of
law and order, can any one who has the vel
fare and prosperity of his country at heart,
for moment espouss such an infamous
cause Let all men remember that the cleo
ton ofGrant and Colfax means peace, pros

means reputation Of the national debt, and

pRoGREss IN MANUFACTURES.


In an article which we published in this
journal in December last, under the above
caption, we referred at some length to the
great soap manufactory Of Mr.. ]. B. Dob
bins at Sixth streets aud Germantown
Avenue, predicting that the soap which Mr..
Dobbins manufactures-a aniliarly known as
Dobbins' Electric Soap-was destined to
attain degree Of popularity never equaled
by any other manufactured article in this
country; and stating that alreaay the cupid
ity Of certain engious (would-he) rivals had
been excited by Mr. Dobbins unparalleled
success.
Il is to the latter Of these points that we
to day wish briefly to direct attention Asa
great economizer Of time and labor, we then
gave to Mr.. Dobbins' Soap the endorsement
which its merits deserve, believing that by so
doing we should promote the comfort and
happiness OF millions throughout our cities
and the country at large. But we are unwill-
ing that our endorsement of good article
shall be falsely used in order to give respecta-
bility and character to poor limitations Of it.
There are certain soap manufacturers of the
more INSCRIPTIONS class, who after vainy
endeavoring to foist their soap upon the mar
ket under certain names have simply changed
their names, without in the least improving
their washing properties, and are en-
deayoring to deude the public into the
adoption of these miserable shams. They
are pretty looking white soaps, but for
washing purposes are absolutely good for
nothing. Let the people therefore beware.
One concern has even gone so far in this
deception as to advertise Phladc5lhia
Electric Soap, very nearly initiating his
labels, with the evident design Of misleading
buyers into the suppositon that it is the
Dobbins article OF course no honorable
wellestabished firm would resort to such a
trick. In fact, we know Of respectable
firms in the business who denounco the
imposture more severely than does Mr..
Dobbins himself
We can hardly imagine more disrepatable
mercantile procedure than these played
out soap-makers, after their soaps have
become as played out as themselves en-
deayoring to resuscitate their dead failures
by resurrecting them ia ac,c Jores, or rather
in the old ones with ueig laJeLs, and paImng
them off upon unsuspecting dealers and
consumers as ''ELEcrRIC SoAP!" 1t is
wonder that their audacity has not impellcd
them even to the use Of Mr.. Dobbius name
to give currency to their worthless trash.
Again, we say, beware Of these limitations
Those who have not yet tried the merits of
the genuine Electric Soap have still a real
household blessing in store for them, and
we recommend all our readers to avail
themselves of it; but let them be careful to
buy no other than that manufactured by
Mr.. Dobbins at his immense works, corner
of Sixth street and Germantown avenue,
Philadelphia. -PziadeI,dia Press, ,,ly

HoT SHOT FROM CLERICAL BATTERY.
II. L. Cuyler, d. D., in his last letter to
the New York Ecaagelist, disposes of the
Democratic nominees in a slashing way. He
writes as one who knows-and we reckon he
knows whereof he afirms.
Our indolent and drunken college class
mate, Frank Blair, has been nominated for
that high Office which Andrew johnson
once disgraced by his intoxicatian. Poor
Blair's only distinction in college was his
amputation of classmate's nose with a car
wing knife IN a tipsy spree And now he is
nominated on the same ticket with the man
whose first prominent public act was to veto
the prohibitory liquor law of New York.
With the partisan politics of NIcssrs. Sey-
nour and Blair, we have nothing now to do:
but while one of these men has an unhappy
tendency to insanity, and the other is addic-
ted to strong drink, we submit whether
Christian patriots should be called on to
commit the mighty interests Of this Ropub-
lie into their hands.

How THE CoPPERHEAD REPUTATION
Policy WoRKs. On the 4th Of July Gold
was at premium Of 40 cents on the dollar.
Since the PRONUNCIATION Of the Copperhead
platform with its reputation and Bond tax
ing policy Gold has risen per. cent. Thus
to day we are made to pay four cents more
on every dollars worth Of tea, coffee or any
other necessary or luxury of life that we
import. Such is the result of even the
proclamation in party platform Of such
rascally and dishonest principles, if such a
term may be applied to any thing so un-
principled What would be the result Of
the triumph of such party in the coming
eIections2 Before Christmas Gold would
be up to 800 per cent and prices would be
higher than in the darkest days of the war.
Yet such an infamous party has the brazen
effrontery to ask the poor man and the day
laborer to vote its ticket, when the very
PRONUNCIATION Of its platform has already
taxed the poor mans bread and butter at
the rate of four per cent.
