Tng Philadelphis fress ssys truly (:
Another splendid showing is made in
the statement Of Secretary Boutwell,
for July. Gradually but surely the
burden imposed on the country by the
Democratic rebellion Is being tighten
ed under the administration Of the
Government by General Grant The
red uction Of the debt during the pa ast
month amounted to the large sum Of
sS, S,70l,976, making total decrease
since President GRANTS inauguration
Of over s240, 200, 900.
These monthly reductions are prac.
tical arguments Of the strongest kind
10 proof Of Republican ecou6my and
sound financial management. Let
every voter contrast them with the
notorious rnd sfupcndous robberies BY
Democratic rulers Of New York city
The Republican rulers Of the nation
are reducing both taxation AMI the
debt. The Democratic rulers Of Now
York are increasing taxation and the
city debt at an alarming rate, and
have been proved by their own books
a set Of outrageous thieves.

"Will yoa be kind enough TO ask
tho following questions OF Colonel

votes Of the soldiers, on the ground
that lie served during the war 10 the

"Did you, Colonel McCand less. vote
for tho soldier, j. 4. Owen, for Rec or
der of Deeds Of Philadelphia
Did you vote for General John

Did you vote for General John

did you vote for u. S. Grant A.?
All these soldiers ran against we'll

styled you and the res: of the soldiers
OF the Union army "Liucoln hirelings
and murdsrers y who said we, had no
right to murder our dear Southern
brethren" who said we, bad no right
to coercs the South !" who said we,

If the post of honor was the pri-

the votes Of the soldiers who said, by
their acts, that the post of honor was
where deaths brief pang was quick

{" This plea Of " Because I was a

plea from men 1ho hare stuck TO their

by his writings in Scribaer'. Monthly

The Kentucky election was q solid
Republican triumph, Democratic pro-
testatons to the contrary notwith
standing. The fact TINT the Repub-
lican vote has been nearly doubled,
while that ofthe Democracy Increased
but very slightly, is substantial gain.
Eighty Thousand Republicans to a
hundred and fifteen thousand Demo-
Gratis is O much better showing than
thirty thousand Republicans to hun
dred thousand Democrats. We have

A Labor Union Dodge.

A Harrisburg correspondent writes
to a Blair county paper as follows
A nice scheme has como to light
whereby the Democratic leaders hope
to secure control Of tho lower House
Of the Legislature this winter. Wall
lace carry secured the service Of sew
eral smooth-tongued werkiugmen to
go around among the furnace men,
forge men and rolling mill men and
enlist them in II labor movement--a
Labor Union, they call 1.-THE main
features of which, as il has been told
the workiugmen, is TO protect them
In their rights. The real object OF
Wallace is to secure tho votes OF this
organization for the Democratic AS
sembly nominees, and in case that
cannot DO done, then to have them
run q distinctive Labor Union candi-
date, and thus take enough Republi-
can votes to allow tho Democrats to
slip in. The Dauphin and Perry dis.
trict, tho Huntingdon District, and
your own, are specially marked out to
be carried by this move. Wherever
there is furnace or forge, il 10 pro,
posed 10 institute lodge Of these La.
Dor Union Relormers. They exist al
ready in this city, Millersburg, (among
coal miners), Duncannon, Perry couu.
", and other places That an orgaui.
zstion will soon be started in your city
i an satisfied The money to rent
rooms. procure books, send out stool
pigeons, &c, comes right square from
the Democratic party, and tho organ
izaLion is fraud in fact and cheat
in practice. The purpose is to induce
good, honest Republican mechanics to
join, by pretending to care specially
for tho rights Of tho laboriug classes,
then get in enough Democrats to con.
trol the lodge and vote tho whole or
ganization in tho interest of the Dem.
ocratic party. The plan is well laid,
and only wants to be known to be cx.
posed. l will give you some facts
and statistics 10 my next, which will
