Address OF the Pennsy lvania Liberal
State Committee.

The following address from the Liberal
State Committee Of Pennsylvania has been
issued.
To the People Of Pennsylvania:
The successful contamination Of measure
of fraud in this city, that must arpall alike
the guilty authors and their no lees guilty
respectable abettors. has made Philadelphia
appear to have gwen the unexampled ma
joTity Of over 10000 in favor Of continued
corrupt rule in Pennsylvania. With every
channel Of power ready to aid in executing
the systematic defiance of the popular will
with the debauched or plant canvassers to
register $4,000 fraudulent names with the
most desperate repeaters OF three cities to
vote the registry. with abundance Of money
plundered from the people to pay them; with
the election officers selected expressly to re-
ceive every vote offered in favor Of the ring
with police force to pilot repeaters to their
localities. and protect them in polling illegal
votes; with officers OF the law to guarantee
their immunity from punishment with q
large preponderance of our citizens who claim
to be the champions Of morality and reform
giving their unqualified sanction to what they
knew to be deliberately planned pollution
Of the ballot box. the result is but the logical
result Of the rule that is now supremacy en-
throned in our city and State. Nor was this
gigantic system Of fraud confined to Philadel-
phia. In the principal cities and towns
votes have been polled. The Liberal cause
was thus overwhelmed IN Reading, Chester.
West Chester. Columbia, Harrisburg. Pitts
burgh. and other localities. while the rural
districts give large and UNIFORM gains. am
warranted in announcing that the large ma
jority polled for Hartranft is wholly fraudu-
lent. Friends Of good government, let no
triumph Of lawlessness deter you frsm giving
your best energies to the cause. The highest
prerogative Of free people has been vio-
lently usurped by insolent and debauched
power, and the people must resent it, and
resent it promptly, or give unqnestioned Ii
cense to wrong. Now more than ever in the
contest is the election Of Horace Greeley to
the Presidency . supreme necessity, If peace
and honest government are not to perish
from the annals Of our history. Right will
triumph sooner or lat r, and it will yet tri-
umph in this desperate struggle il the peo-
pie shall prove faithful to themselves, to
their laws, and to their country.
A. &. MCCLURE.
Chairman Of Liberal Republican Committee.

A we'll informed Springfield correspondent
Of the Missouri Republican estimates that the
aggregate Liberal majority in Cook county
will not be less than 5000, and may reach
5000. Either figure will be satisfactory. In
1868 the Radicvl majority in that county was
S.313. This seems . large vote to overcome,
but there have been immense changes, in
Chicago especially. as well as in the country.
Both the German and Irish elements are
nearly units for the Liberal movement, and
q change Of sixteen thousand in q vote Of fifty
thousand need not be wondered at.
Many OF the strongholds of Radicalism
have been assailed by public sentiment. and
have yielded hundreds Of parttsans to the re-
form movement. DcKalb county gives
change Of $50 Republicans to Greeley and
Brown: Dewitt shows again Of 700: Iro-
quois, the estimated change il 1000; 10 Da-
viess, gain of LOO; Lake, gain Of !, 300
over 1868; McHenry, 1,000 Mclean, 1000;
Winnebago, nearly forty per cent. gained
from the Republican vote. Others might be
named.
1t is noteworthy that the principal gains are
in the extreme northern counties, and vet
this is not marvel. The great strength OF
the Republican party was there. In the
southern and central portions of the State
fewer defections are to be expected, the De-
mocracy being in the ascendancy. Yet in our
county. st. Clair. the estimated gain is over
Z, 200 votes, probably the largest in any coun-
ty Of the State.-Belierule (Iu.) Democrat.

purpose Of psrfecsing our elections have be-

It ever occur TO you thar, a. rule, the ofacers

The Political Outlook.

Liberals and Democrats have every reason
to feel encouraged at the political outlook
Notwithstanding the States of Ohio and Penn
sylvania. by means Of the lavish expenditure
Of money, the most stupendous election
frauds ever perpetrated in this country. and
the powerful influence Of vast army Of of
fce-holders, have been made to appear as
having recorded their verdict in favor of the
perpetuation Of the present corrupt Adminis-
tration in power. the prospects for the cleo
ton Of Horace Greeley are of the most fat
tering character. and our friends should Lot
falter in the good work, but press forward to
victory. The election in Georgia has virtually
settled the vote Of all the Southern States
wherein q clear majority Of the electors are
whites. Its influence goes even farther. since
it shows that the negro vote is ve-y far from
being solid for Grant. 1t may now be con-
sidered certain that thirty States will vote ~

passed at his own urgent and personal solici-
tation. But the 10th Of October, 1871, Ohio
and PENNSYLVANIA went Republican, and two
days thereafter Goody Two-shoes disappears
as in whirlwind, and with the grunt Of wild
hog Mr. Grant PUSHES forward to say that
most horrible and bloody-minded rebellion
was raging IN South Carolina. Five days later
he proclaims martial law in that unhappy |
State and lets loose Dragons, artillery, and |
infantry upon its wretched people. Follow |
ing the troops came an infamous array of |
Jefreys-liks judges, bloodhound attorneys, |
swift Witnesses, and purchased jurors as |
black as tar and ignorant as 80 many wild |
Polynesians. For nine weary months this
array Of military and civil force exercised as
coward violence upon part Of the Amer.

trodden Poland or England upon the Oppressed |

let-up. Prosecutions ceased. jures were dis
missed, witnesses paid their hire and sent of
subject to call. and the troops whJ had har-
ried every hamlet at midnight were withdrawn
from the chase. 1t was intimated that q
change of heart had come over the author Of
all this dastardly violence. He was even
about to pardon some OF his victims, and q
commission was sent to pick out the recipients
OF this gracious clemency.
What was the occasion Of this sudden cooling
and softness In August the North Carolina
election impended. 1t was important to carry
