The Pittsburg Post, one of the ablest
Democratic papers Of the Union, takesa
correct view Of the New York riot 1t
thinks If those who deliberately planned
a parade with banners and music, celcu-
lated and intended to provoke riot and
murder-and those others who were
wicked and foolish enough to suffer
themselves to be thus melted to revolt
ing crimes, had utterly destroyed each
other, no general regret would have
been felt Nor would liberty, nor re-
ligion, nor society at large, have lost
anything by the sanguinary result. For
it would be doing great wrong to Pro-
testantism to allege that its maintenance
depended on the Orange order, and es-
pecially on the handful Of its members
who paraded in New Horkon the l2th
instant. And it would be equally I'M
just to assume that Catholicism IS re-
sponsible for the outrages committed
by savage and lawless crew,
who care neither for priest nor
shrine. And moi only are those riot
provokers and riot-makers outside Of all
religious Influences, but we venture to
say that nearly all of them are dl'ens-T
people who cannot or will not assume
and peform the duties of American citi-
zens. But, Notwithstanding all this, the
bowling dervishes Of Radicalism-7the
political preachers of the Priestley SORT
who made churches resound, during the
war. with rancorous abuse OF their own
neiuhbors, and reverend rabid political
writer's of the same quality, are seeking
10 make political capital for the Radical
marty out of this lamentable riot, and TO
stir mn our people to contention. For
Radicalism must have something to
tear" or it will droop and die and be
buried out Of sight. 1t is the same party
who prosecuted Masons and Odd Fellows
in ls36-who prosecuted Catholics, and
burned their churches few years after.

Under the D0ctOr'S Hands.

That the Democratic party of Cecil is
sick nigh unto death, is fact generally
known, and at length it was finally deter
mined to call in the services of a physician.
So on Thursday last the county Central
Committee assembled at Elkten for that
purpose, and were conducted into the doc
tors Office, over Mitchell's drug store, and
careful diagnosis of the patient made
This examination proved the subject to be
in even more critical condition than was
anticipated. Strong bilious symptoms were
developed, with manifest tendency to the
shakes. Disease of the spine was also
apparent, caused by a recent tussle with
two giants or Afrights, called 6. Facts !"
and I" Fair Play The gall was found to
be much affected too, and premonitory
symptoms of jaundice were plainly observ-
able. The skin of the patient presented a
mass of purifying sores, which careful
microscopic examination discovered to be
filled with ring aoorm. This complication
of diseases has been superinduced by
"riotons " or luxurious living at the public
table, without taking sufficient exercise.
The doctor prescribed blue mass and
castor oil and a tonic of something warm;
when it was suggested that something
warm" be whisky straight, that tonic
always agreeing admirably with the DEM
ocratic stomach. Profound quiet, and an
absence from all ringing sounds, was
enjoined by the doctor, till the 18th of
September, when the patient would be suf-
ticiently restored to attend convention to
determine whether the Crawford county
plan should be adopted, or the old system
of manipulating for the spoils, be adhered

CANDIDATEs.-Quite an extensive list of
names has been handed in, as suitable for
candidates for the various county Offices,
which are to be filled this fall, which will
be found elsewhere under their appropriate
head.
A strong ticket may be selected from
this list, which by proper efforts on the
part of the Republican party, should be
elected. All that is necessary to accom-
plish this desirable end, is earnest action
and devotion to the cause. By placing
good candidates before the people, we fur
nish an increased incentive to action and a
hearty unanimity of the party. The
Republican party should leave no stone
unturned to rescue the county from DEM
ocratic misrule, at the approaching election.

The Primary Meetings.

At the head of the editorial column will
be found the call of the County Executive
Committee for Primary Meetings, on Satur-
day afternoon next, to choose. delegates for
County Convention of the party. We
hope the request of the Committee, that
the meetings take up the question in rela-
tion to the mode of selecting ticket for
county officers, will not be neglected, and
that every delegation from the nine Dis
tricts will come to Elkton fully prepared to
decide the matter. With good county
ticket, reasonable degree of enthusiasm
and organization, on the part of the Repub-
lican party, in the present demoralized
condition of the Democratic party, the
county can be carried and redeemed from
the thraldom of extravaganza and inca
pacity which is acknowledged by the best
men in their ewn party to exist at present
in every department of the county service.
Let the people assert their independence
and sovereignty, and rise above being longer
humbugged by the arts and tricks of set
of "Ring" politicians of the Rebel De-
mocracy, and hurl from place and power
the men who squander, by miss manage
ment, the public treasure by tens of thous-
ands in the county, and by millions in the
State.
Twenty years ago the Democratic party
governed the county, and wasted among
favorites the public treasure by thousands,
when the people rose in their majesty and
hurled them from power, which they did
not regain till too forgetful public was
again lulled by deceptive promises and fab
rications against the Union party, and
allowed the same old foxy politicians to
steal into power. In looking back over the
last four years of county government, we
find the same reckless extravaganza and
heavy taxation, that aroused the hot indig-
nation of the people twenty years ago, who
then hurled from power these same wolves
in sleeps clothing. Will the taxpayers
longer stand to doubt and debate what
ticket to vote? If they still determine to
vote the Democrat ticket in sufficient num-
bers to keep that party in power, we can
promise them to certainty they will get
what they vote for-plenty of taxation
a1eu Latd on.

THE LEVY LIST will be found on our
first page this week, and will furnish ma
terial for the people to study. One omis-
sion we notice, that is particularly inter-
esting to the public, which is the absence
of detailed statement of the various sums
expended on the public roads. In place of
a statement of the amount passing through
Supervisors hands, the expenditures for
public roads is charged to the Board of
Commissioners. If it was deemed expe-
dent to curtail the statement it would
doubtless have given more general satisfac-
ton to lave the road expenses in detail
and condensed some other.

HARD ON HIS FRIENDs.-Pomeroy's
Democrat says: "Look at New York. One
hundred and one millions of dollars in
debt! And what have the people to show
for it? A steam yacht! An American
club house! A race track! A supreme
court owned by the Erie railway, with
Hon. George Barnard, toll-keeper! A pal
ace for lying, slippery Dick Connolly, the
comptroller, who went into office so poor
that he could not qualify in 81 200, who is
now millionaire. A fortune of $40, ,OOO,-
600 for Peter Bismarck Sweeney, who was
a poor man when first appointed city cham
berlain. A palace for Hon. William NJ
Tweed, the likeliest man in the lot, who
has only made twenty-five millions of dol
lars out of the city, by honesty and economy
in ten years. A fortune of seven millions
for A. Oakley Hall, the popinjay mayor,
who squawks when his masters pull the
strings, and pockets his per centage of the
plunder while angling for the nomination
for Governor. Six thousand harlots and
nineteen hundred dens of infamy, sup
ported directly from city stealings. These
are few of the exhibits for this enormous
debt which must be paid OF repudiated.
