Jay Cook, at the beginning of the
late war, was a bankers clerk in q
small town out in Ohio, and lived
on small salary. After becoming
the agent Of the Government to sell
its bonds, he made about twenty
millions of dollars in about three
years. And in view of this fact, it
would be exceedingly difficult to
make us believe that the man has a
particle Of personal integrity. Jay
Cooke signs his name to letters on
finance, not line Of which he ever
wrote, or could write. He would
evidently sign anything involving
a swindle Of others, provided the
proceeds went into his own pockets.

'Vermont's Republican Victory
Was Won by Hard Work.

friend writing from Montpelier, glori
flying over the result of the election in Yer
mont, makes the following important and
instructive statement:
"Our victory was a signal and decisive
one, but the result must not be accepted as
an achievement secured without a contest.
TeymOnts Republican oictory tcds c0n By hard
ao0rk. doubt if ever a similar thorough
organization was had in any State prior to
an election. Every district, ward, borough
and city had their active Republicans clubs,
which were in turn divided into vigilance
committees, that operated with the precision
of men trained for that peculiar work.
For two months before the election every
Republican voter was a Redublican orator !;
ano the men thus inspired were unceasing
in their work. Whenever a Democratic
speaker from abroad traversed the State the
meetings which he addressed were attended
by committees of Republicans who mingled
with the people who composed such assem-
bages. observing all that was said and tax
ing special care that no man was imposed
upon by falschood. In this manner the
sophstries, dogmas and lalsehoods of the
enemy were controverted, exploded and re.
futed as soon as they issued from that throat
of Democratic orator. In fact, there was
no resisting the efforts and the influence of
these sub. committees as they made their ap.
pearance at a Democratic meeting. They
were composed of men of influence and
worth, who were fully able to converse on
all the issues of the campaign. Still other
committees were on duty, visiting voters at
their residences, in the workshops, the bust.
ness mart and the social circle, until the
masses Of Vermont were actually made a
continuous political meeting, at which the
influence of Republicans took the lead. An
conversations become a debate of political
issue. Business for awhile infused its vigor
and its integrity into politics, and men of
respectaOility, business worth and moral
| influence, threw their weight into the oon-
test, not merely to elect certain candidates
to Office, but to shape the course of the State
in a political line of duty which would
ensure it the best government, and thus con
sequently secure its prosperity. Hard work
won us Vermont, and now that the contest
is over, the work will be redoubled to in.
crease the lustre of the victory we intend to
win in November"
What is uttered by our correspondent in
! reference to Vermont, may be applied to
Pennsylvania. Hard work is what we want
in the Keystone State. We have the moral
force, the native talent, and the large inter
cst W lliHhc u WOTkcr anu All OTHtOr Ol every
Republican. IF all these are aroused we can
| make our October victory success which
will render doubly glorious in our favor, the
triumph of November. Hard work-aggres,
sive work-incissive work-incessant work
the work that appeals to conviction and
arouses pride in personal inerest and general
welfare, is what will! win us great Republi-
can victory in Pennsylvania in October and
! November.

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.

Last Saturday evening we stepped into
the Court House to hear what the oracles of
Democracy had to say, OF the affairs of the
nation. The Democratic Club was in ses-
sion, and our neighbor, T. H. Pur6y, Esq,
was on the rostrum. Mr.. Purdy's speech
was evidently made up to order, and con-
tanned number of statements that required
vast amount of credulity even in Demo.
cratic audience to listen to, without a broad
grin. When Mr.. Purdy eulogised President
johnson for his honesty and patriotism, we
could not help thinking how greatly he diff,
fered from the editor of the Northumberland
County Democrat, who only few years ago
denounced Andrew johnson as a drunkard
and one of the greatest political scoundrels
Of the day. But this, We presume, he con-
sidered matter of little Importance, as
Democrats generally are supposed to have
very short, if not very convenient memories.
Another of his flights of fancy was, in add
ing about five hundred millions to the pub
lie debt. Mr.. Purdy said it was not true
that the Democrats were opposed to the war.
True Democrats, such as Daniel S. Dickinson,
Of New York, Gov. Todd, of Ohio, and
others, were certainly not, but the Copper
head portion of the party most assurcdly
did oppose the war, fact which Mr.. Pur-
dy's own paper will abundantly show. But,
perhaps, his most extravagant fight of fancy
was on the negro question. He declared
the Freedmen's Bureau fed, at the expense
of the government, three millions Of lazy
negroes, which we of the North had to pay
for. If so, this institution must cast into the
shade even the miracle of the five loaves
and two fishes" According to the report
of Gen. Howard, the Commissioner, the ex-
penses of the Bureau were about three mil.
lions per annum, and in some of the States
more than half was expended on poor whites.
This, according to Mr.. Purdy's logic, would
allow one dollar per year, or two cents per
week for boarding lazy negroes who certain
ly can eat if they can do nothing else. Such
is the material which constitutes a large
portion of the speeches of the Democratic
orators, and this stuff they cram down the
tbroats of their too credulous hearers, with.
out regard to consistency or truth.

That Annual Reduction Of tlc
STATE DebI.

There are two sublime result, before which
the Democracy are now utterly dumbfound-
ed. One is the election in Vermont, which
overwhelms the conservative with some
thing like the effect produced by Union
victories during the war The other is the
fact that while John + Hartranft has been
Auditor General, the State debt has been
reduced at the rate almost of million and
half annually. There is on escape from
such results. The Democracy may iterate
and reiterate charges of mismanagement
against the Republican party, but figures
show that the debt of Pennsylvania has been
annually reduced Sl,344, ,O92 IA. This is
historical. 1t is part of the official record.
Why don't the Democracy give the figures
