Stand 10 Your Guns.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
1t is estimated that Pennsylvania has
gone Radical by q majority ranging from
fifteen to twenty five thousand. The in
dlca:ipns are that Indiana, Ohio and Ne
braska have gone the same way. OF
course the figures contained in our dis
patches, which are meager at best, will
be modified, aud in some instances
varied. But there is no reason to expect
a mn aterial alteration 10 the general result
1t is an uuequivocal success for the Grant
party:
We therefore say to our friends every
where, be firm and defiant, give not an
inch of ground, and hold yourselves
ready for any emergency. This is the
first time We have gone into action, and
we have met repulsc That repulse
should inspire our energies and our
courage. 1t should unite US against the
enemy. 1t should bring accordance and
unity Of sentiment to our much divided
ranks. A defeat of this sort is often the
medium through which great aud pows
full organizations are formed. The Re.
publican party itself was thus repulsed
in 1856. Our Liberal movement is
hardly two years old. 1t is the natural
antithesis of Radicalism and If free gov
ernment is to continue in America its
principles must prevail in the admins
tration Of the national government. The
old parties will pass away with the con.
test. The party of the future is the
party of Liberalism, Reform and Peace.
What may lie in the immediate present
will develop itself from day to day
But nothing is clearer than this; that we
have only to be firm and steady, to main
tain the integrity of our convictions, to
repel the suggestions of the time serving,
and scoru the seductions Of the corrupt,
holding fast to our faith and standing BY
our colors and our guns. There is safety
only in this plain and open course. We
shall for our part pursue it, neither
daunted nor despondenl; but hating Rad.
icalism only the more as it shows itself
the more corrupt, powerful and danger
Gus. We sincerely believe it to be the
essence Of all corruption in the state.
We are honestly in the belief that its
leaders are body Of unscrupulous des.

Grants Election Means Imperialism.

The defeats in Pennsylvania, and say
in Ohio and Indiana, do not in any re
spect assure the election of General
Grant. The supporters of Mr.. Greeley,
as we'll as those of the present admins
tratiou, are apt to regard the October
elections as decisive. 1t should, how.
ever, be recollected that these elections
have turned mainly upon local issues.
and that, however they may have resulted,
the future of the Liberal Democratic
ticket is in no manner fully tested
There have unques,ionably been out
ragoous frauds perpe,ra,ed in the Pen
nsylvania election, with the knowledge e
aud direct connivance of the admins.
tration, and had the full Democratic vote
been polled, there is no question but that
the result would have been far different
This proves what we have often asserted
that Democrats who refuse to support
the Cincinnati and Baltimore nominees,
must regard themselves as neutral agents
Of the Grant party.
We regard the election of Hoaace
Greeley as q duty We owe to the despoiled d

for the whole country of the authorizes d

present centralized government.
We believe also that General Grant &

make up our minds that an emperor 1,

1t is high time indeed that the people

present corrupt administration will only
prove 10 Us that American citizens have
lost their confidence 10 self.goverument
and propose, at party dictation, to es-
tsblish an olgarchy which shall have
the liberties of all entirely within theil
control. Again We say that General
Grants election means imperialism, and
we urge all Democrats TO withdraw thei,

Chicken Thief.

Jim Brown. alias John Henderson, colored
man, was brought before Esquire Jourolmon,
charged with stealing chickens from Mr.. David
Lee on the night of the TIN OF November.
Quite number of witnesses were examined for
the State, but none for the defense. The evil
dence was sufficient to warrant the Justice in
binding him over to court inthe sum of $500.
We left him in search of security, but hardly
think that a man who could not get single
witness to speak a good word for him, will find
a man to put his name to FIVE hundred dollar
bond Among those present there were not
less than five or six who had lost chickens IN
the last month, and all over the town the cry j:
against these sneaking thieves. The most eff
fectual way we know of to put stop to this, Is
by sending few of the rogues to place where
chickens roost too high to be taken down by

through which the Company has passed, it must
be gratifying to note that the cash aud available

securities of the Company speak for themselves.
This Company sustained no loss at the Boston
fire, and is prepared to take risks at former
rates. The Company bases. its claims to pat
ronaee: first the desirable class of Its invest
ments second, its large available resources, its
stock being held in small amounts and by the
most influential business men in the West J.;

of itself is sufficient guaranty of security. The
