THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
Republican Gain Over 5000.
CALIFORNIA REDEEMED.
Large Majority Oh Joint Ballot

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13, 1871.
The Hon. Russell Errett, Chairman Of
the Union Republican State Central Com
mittec of ofPennsylvania, received the follow.
ing from Maine:
upon the fairest calculation based on
all returns thus far received Governor
Perham's majority will be between 10,0 900
and 11.000. We think we have carried
every county but one. We have elected 30
out of 81 Senators and more than three
fourths of the House Of Representatives.
The three largest cities of the State-Port-
land, Bangor, and Lewiston-electcd nine
anti-Rcpublican Representatives, last
year. We have carried tlrem all this year,
and have reclaimed Lincoln county, which
the Democrats have carried for several
years.
The aggregate vote in the State will
be considerably larger then last year, and
Governor Perham's majority will be near
ly 5000 greater than last year.
j. e. BLAINE"
AUGUSTA, Sept. 12.- Indications here,
derived from careful footing of returns re-
ceived to noon to-day, are that Governor
Perham's majority will be nearly eleven
thousand. The exact official majority for
Perham last year was S,23S.
Androscoggin county complete gives Il
400 last year. Republican majority against
Il little over 400 last year. The two Re-
publican Senators and the nine Representa-
tives in the Legislature from this county
are all elected.

WHY should free people be forbidden
to read the public newspapers? Suppose
President Grant would issue an order to
all the people not to take or read public
newspaper, and denouncc punishment tenn
poral and spiritual on all, who dared to
disobey his order. The whole nation would
rise up against him.
But this very outrage the Pope of Rome
docs this day, by late order. This is the
man the Irish rioters of New York, would
have rule over this free land, and would
murder all freemen who dare to celebrate
the great battle of the Boyne, which secur'
ed to us and all the civilized world tho
right to publish and read the public news
papers.

WE notice iii last weeks Democrat that
the editor is determined to bring all oppos-
ed to frauds and corruption into the bar
ness, to vote for the ticket nominated by
the fraudulent votes OF The Irish Catholics
in the coal regions and in case of refusal,
to have watches set, with book or paper in
hand, to keep notes of those who do not
support their ticket. He threatens all who
refuse to come into the Ring calling them
boilers and disorganizers. This we pre-
sumo, is considered modern Democracy, for
we have never seen yet where Thomas JEFF
ferson, the founder of Democracy, ever ad-
vocated fraud and corruption through the
sures to restrain any man from free eXer-
else of his opinions. When our forefathers
combined together, and entered into n COM
pact to make this free country, allowing
every man the liberty to exercise his own
Judgment of his political rights as an
American freeman, they did not intend to
prescribe any particular sect or party.
Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the
Democratic party proclaimed the principles
of the iarty, which is quoted in the address
of the Standing COMMITTEES in the same
paper. equal and exact justice to all
men of whatever State or persuasion, re-
ligious or POLITICAL" he did not declare
that every man who would oppose fraud
upon the party was bound to support tha!
ticket, because it was called Democratic.
Now, whether Jefferson Was right, and the
editor wrong, or the editor right and JEFF
lcrsou wrong, is matter that cannot
puzzle the mind of any one very long. 1t
looks very inconsistent for any editor to
publish in one part of his paper the princi-
! pies laid down by the founder of Democracy,
and in another part advocate the punish
ment of all who are favorable to it. 1t is
very certain that if the honest Democrats
do not now try to suppress the fraud and
corruption in their party, that it will not
be long before they are compelled to connect
themselves with another party. Men who
have been consistent Democrats, aud who
advocated the purity Of the ballo. box, will
not stoop down and lOrsake their principles
by supporting men who make 1t a study TO
work themselves in power by fraud, after
they lind that they are not wanted, and
caunot gain Il by honesty, Norwill honest
men Of any other party, The threats ofan
editor to bring them 10 the rack or tortures
II they do not comply with his wishes will
avail nothing, This il free country, aud
eYery man is privileged 10 act as freeman
aud exercise his own judgment as 10 who

The Middleburg Post 7.h says On
Tuesday morning bewecn and O'Clock
a. M, the covered bridge across the west
branch of Mddlocreek, on the public road
leading from Selinsgroye to Ereeburg near
Kantz, was discovered TO be on fire.
When discovered the inside of the bridge
was n sheet Of flame, but had not COM
municated to the roof those who first
reached the scene Of conllagration are OF
the opinion that it was the work Of an in
cendiary, aud that the appearance would
indicate the use offan inllammablc agent.
1t was unqucsiionably the work of some
committing the diabolieal act. The eoun.
try sustains loss of about $4,000, besides
being great Inconvenience to the travel

'RoLL up your sleeves, working men
of pennsylvania, take another breath
60 on with your back breaking, hand
blistering labor. Make all you can-earn
every penny within your power-live
saving, for the tax gatherers will be after
you soon for your share of the three thou
sand SIC hundred and thirty, fire dollars that
the radical embczzler Evans has stolen
from you. --NorthUm6Gldnd Co. Democrat
AS there arc several blatant politicians,
who are now circulating that direct tax
has been levied by the State to pay Evans
embezzlcment, it strikes lis that if the
amount is only ''ttrce thousand sir hundred
and hilty.frc dollars," the money sent to
California little better than year ago,
by one Of our County officials, with an Irish
woman, would, if returned, almost liqui-
date the amount referred to.
The ditlerenc &C between the Republicans
and Democrats is this. The Republican
Attorney General is after Evans with a
sharp stick, and will bring him to punish
ment. The Democracy never punish the
embczzlers of their party, but cover up
their tracks and deny their guilt, as they
are now doing in New York.

Dn,,,,bT,cooo of Do1,a1 o,II,.r,,;r,

COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA,
LA PIERRE HOUSE,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept IL, 1871.
To the Republicans Of Pennsylvania
We tender you our hearty cohgratua-
tions over the glorious victories recently
won by the Republicans of California and
Maine. In the former State has been
won, after four years of Democratic misrule,
by an overwhelming majority, and in the
latter the firm hold of the Rpublican party
upon the people has been maintained with
a tenacity that cannot be shaken.
The victory in California has been gain
ed after an arduous and exciting struggle.
1t is the result of systematic acork, and it
demonstrates the value of organization and
well directed political labor. The victory
in Maine has been won by keeping up the
admirable organizations perfected in past
years, under the operation of which the
Republican vote has been thoroughly
brought out.
Both these victories show to us the value
and the necessity of thorough organization.
They ought to inspirit us with the most
ardent zeal and with determination to
initiate the example so worthily set us.
We appeal to you, therefore, while rejoic.
ing over the victories of your brethren else
where, to do as they have done, and secure
by your systematic labors victory as COM
plete as theirs.
The steady stream of Republican success
with, setting in with Connecticut, has since
| flowed on without interruption, must not
be checked in its onward flow by a Repub-
lican defeat in Pen nsylvania. We owe ii
to our friends in the States which have SO
CALAMITY upheld our banner to stand by
them, and keep Pennsylvania in the pha-
lank of Republican States.
| We can DO this only by cultivating a
spirit of union and harmony, keeping up
our local organizations actively, and work
ing steadily and with will to bring out
every Republican vote. Everything de-
pends upon organization and work.
Our intelligence from all parts ofthe State
is cheering and encouraging. All that is
wanted now is a little close attention TO
the details of local organization. No poll
tical victory was ever won without atten-
tion to these details and we rely upon
your spirit, energy, and zeal to carry them
out Systematically and render them effec-
tive.
Let the Republicans of the State be true
to themselves and 10 their cause, stand
firmly by their State nominees and local
tickets, and put their ward and township
committees into vigilant activity, and we
shall be able to send back TO Maine and
California, and their sister Republican
States response as cheerful and gladden.
ing as their messages of triumph have been
to us. RUSSELL ERRETT,

THE BIDLE.-Suppose all the ministers
and churches should proclaim, that they
were infdlible, and could no more commit
a mistake in judgment than God Himself.
that they alone could determine what
the Bible taught, that it is sealed book to
all peoples. and that no open Bible should
be found or read in any family or any
closet, through the length and breadth OF
the land
The Bible, so dear and precious to the
millions of our race that it has sustained
in trouble and solaced in the trials Of life
and then led to Hcaven-that is the great
bulwark and foundation stone of all civil
liberty, without which the world would b.
IN slavery to-day, that first taught the great
truth, that all men are equal, that this book,
the great charter of civil and religious free
dom, shall be sealed up forever from the
great masses of the people! What a mighty
revolution, would such an edict from the
churches produce What tempest Of
wrath and indignation
Yet under Romish rule this is the order,
and in Rome, before Italy became free,
Bibles were burned at the public stake
and men and women were punished and
imprisoned who dared 10 circulate or dis
tribute the Bible.
The great Dutch King William Of Or
ange, freed England of Papal tyranny
and despotism, and gave to the world il
all time to come, the open Bible, and free
dom of religion and Of speech, of thought
and completed his great work by the vic
tory of the Boyne ; one of the greatest
victories of freedom the world ever knew
Yet the Irish Roman Catholic rioters %
New York would not allow this great vic
tory for the Bible and Religious freedom,
be celebrated in this free land, and woulC
trample down the cause Of open Bibles
free thought, and free speech, and free con
| science.

ANOTHER FALsEHooD NAILED.-The
Democrat of last week contains the follow
ing
"We have a letter Fl omy yMontour county
stating that Newbaker, lthc independent
Republican candidate oriAssembly in this
county, has promised Bright, the Republi-
can candidate for Assembly in Montour
county, that he canand will give him sir
hundred Democratic votes in Northumber-
land county, and thus secure his election.
He claims to be able to control the Ger
man vote in Northumberland county
This, taken in connection with the decara-
tions of certain influential Republican of
Shamokin, that Newbaker was and is
pledged to so with the Republicans in all
party measures in the next Legisla-
ture, ought to convince the people of the
Importance of electing CEallant and Gal
lagher, the Democratic nominees"
Now for the facts. DR.. Newbaker au-
thorizes us to say, that he has not been in
Montour county since the nomination.
That he is not personally acquainted with
Mr.. Bright, and has never written or spo-
ken to him on this or any other subject,
nor authorized any one 10 do so. Nor has
he written or spoken to any other person
in said county on the subject. That the
whole thing is fraud and falsehood, and
worthy only of a party who obtained their
nominations by frauds, and will not there
fore hesitate to perpetuate other frauds to
deceive honest Democrats and secure their
own election. .a.

many honest Democrats are disgusted and
will not vote the ticket.
If they nominateby fraud, they will elect
by fraud if they can, and if they elect by
fraud, then their official conduct will be
fraudulent and corrupt. Let Mt. Carmel
