The Radicals of old Berks, not be.
ing satisfied with the terrible defeats
they get from year TO year, seem 10
have come TO the conclusion that they
can sfford q first.class quarrel among
themselves. at tho County Meeting
the other day the soldier element was
completely ignored. There was
deliberate purpose in that II seems
that the home brigade carried of every
important federal appointment in the
district The soldiers were utterly
ignored by Grant, and lot Of politi-
cal bummers gobbled up every parti-
cal of patronage. The Boys in Blue
were indignant, and at the County
Meeting they attempted to introduce
resolutions condemning tho appoint
ments. This caused grand row and
q lively fight. The Chairman Of the
meeting declared the resolutions out
of order, and adjourned the meeting
amid the widest confusion. The
soldier laddies appointed a Chairman
Of their own, the crowd tarried, and
the soldier resolutions were passed.
So great is the dissatisfaction among
the Radicals Of Berks that there is no
telling how big the majority for
Packer and Pershing will be.-LdR.

We heartily commend the following

Pennsylvania
"Now is the proper time for men
who are interested in the welfare aud
success Of the Democratic party TO
begin TO work. Our Stats has been
30 long subject TO Radical domination
that il will require vigorous effort
on our part TO overcome the force OF
tho tide. There is always a vast
floating vote which is cast upon the
popular side for that party which il is
supposed will be successful. Men like
to think that they have contributed
to the success of candidate, or a
party, ana naturally, too, for success
is always more pleasant than defeat.
In Pennsylvania there are great
many men who are utterly tired and
sick of the Radical programme men
who are sharp sighted enough to see
that the party In power is corrupt and
wicked, while il is also weak and i'm.
beetle and men hencst enough TO
turn from rotten party TO one which
will keep It's promises and stand by
its principles. Such men as these
want only the encouraging, kindly
words of advice and counsel to bring
them into the Democratic ranks.
Then, too, there are thousands oil
weak Democrats, men whose princi'
pies are sound, but who lack the en-.
crgy or courage TO maintain them
either at the ballot-box or in discus.

after and kept entirely within the

classes of men who will vote the Dem

we obtain these votes /? Generally
speaking, il is fact that public polit.
ical meetings are humbugs. Fuss and
feathers, band and orators, persuade
no one they are necessary, perhaps
to keep up the enthusiasm Of the peo-
pie, but it is well known by all who
have ever investigated the matter,
that they make no votes. Now, votes
are just what we need. OF what val

to elect our candidates, and this can
be done in but one way, viz: by per

guards. They went to Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and were going to put Lee
in Jail for safe keeping until they could
have a spree. About this time Lee

undisguised terror that he will become

has nothing TO follow except the pecu-

days Of power. These views he has
since ventilated on the stump and will
no doubt urge with sledgchammer

Andy Jonnson's presence in the Sen

for all that and we hope he will. A
little leaven Of Andy Johnson's spice
will do that august body no harm,
while his wholesome ventilation of
many public questions, such as the

appears that Senator Ramsey extorted
a position from Postmaster General
Cresswell, by virtue of his position as
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Post-ofiices and Post-roads A trip
to Europe and expenses paid, or my
opposition in the Senate, were the
terms offered by the Senator. Modest
and conscientious men, these Radical
Senators. Not content with dealing
in railroad stocks, and trading in
Offices, they force the heads of Depart
ments TO pay the expenses of them
selves and families while indulging in
a European tour. The President ac-
cepting houses, horses and lands, and
Senators standing upon the Ramsey
platform, is a sorry picture OF Re.

great struggle which is TO take place
in these two leading States Of the
Union, with most anxious solicitude.
The keynote Of the great campaign
Of 1872 will bc given in the result OF
the conflicts in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, between the cohorts of wicked
and corrupt party, utterly and ire
deemably infamous, and tho hosts OF
honest reformers, who take the field
under the banner of the Constitution,
and with the zeal and FIRE Of true pa.
triots. 1t would seem, after the expe-
rience Of the past nine years, that the
votcrsof Ohio and Pennsylvania should
have their eyes open, and their brains
clear to fairly see and understand the
issues. 1t is political and social crime
Of the gravest kind, huge taxation,
rotten finances, dying commerce, an
increasing national debt, and thiev-
ing and grossly extravagant admins
tralion on the one side, and it is Off
cial honesty, low taxes, q sound cur
rency, q restored business, and an
economical administration on the
other The results Of the Ohio and
the Pennsylvania elections will lead
to one or the other Of these great facts.
Those States, in the hands Of the De-
mocracy, forctell a glorious Demo
cratic sunrise upon this country in
1872. 1t promises redemption from
the present political evils, and resto-
ration Of general prosperity. Voters
