. DAVIS AND BEEcHER.--lt is unnec-
essary for us to tell our readers who
these two eminent men are. They arc
know to all over twenty-one years OF
age in this country. The former was
recently invited by the officers of the
Winnebago county, lll.,) Agricultural
Society to deliver the annual address,
but this raised such a"hub- b-bub" among
the "loyal millions" that they forced
Mr.. Davis to cancel his appointment,
and he was therefore driven from the
field. As an Offset TO this granger
move, we have an affair on this side of
the White Mountains. Parson Beech.
er has been summering at this famous
place, and on his way home to Brook
lyn, last week, he was invited by the
leading Christians of Montague, Mass,
to tarry with them and give them a
preach last Sunday, This brought
something less than 1900 New Eng
land clergymen to their feet. who pro-
claimed against having the "Church
of God" desecrated and defiled by the
said Bcecher. The result was that
the Parson had TO cancel all his en-
gagements between the White Noun
tains and Brooklyn. Reader, think of
it. The extreme statesman and the
most popular preacher placed on the
same plane, and completely ignored
by the people. The whirlI-gig of
time makes some strange revolutions.

Wuo CAN EXPLAIN ?-For fifteen
years past Radicalism has held this
nation by the throat and compelled
all men to pay tribute to its Golfers and
obey its mandates, and yet we have
neither peace nor prosperity. We re-
joice that star in the west and anoth-
er in the east indicates that the days
of public plunderers is at an end. The
people have gone to the school of ex-
perience long enough TO learn the true
cause Of our commercial disasters, and
have had their eyes opened wide
enough to see that, instead OF patriots
having been placed at the helm Of
government, band of public plum
derers have enriched themselves, and
have successfully impoverished the
whole country. This is our view of
the case. Perhaps some Radical econ
omist may be able to fix the cause of
our commercial dilapidation upon some.
body else. There is good opening
for few experts of this kind just
now. Let them come to the surface,
because recent results in California
and Maine-the extreme points-in-
dicate that the people are going to
strike heavy blow in October and
November, and what has happened to
the dominant party in the States indi-
Gated will befal them in Ohio and
Pennsylvania within forty days and
forty nights.

A GOOD WITNESS editor OF

Judge Pershing, the Democratic candidate for

How different that editors opinion
is from that Of those scullions who
have never seen Mr.. Pershing, and
yet take the liberty of tradncing his
private character
Here Is another Radical witness
which wc put on the stand. The edi-
tor of the Pottsvillc Miners Journal
in alluding to our nominees, says:
As to the candidates, they are the best men
their party could bring forward, but we need
scarcely say that We trust they will hardly be
elected. Judge Persbing Is too badly needed on

Our Radical exchanges notice Judge
Peshing's recent purifying effort in
this way
"The county comm mssioners Of Sehuylkiil coun.

twenty-five thousand dollars, VIII ich tho sctual

been renominated, had not Judge Per-
shing sent him to the penitentiary.
When his Honor becomes Governor he
will serve tho Treasury robbers in a
similarway, Powerful influences were
brought to bear upon the Judge during
the trial and after the conviction Of
these parties by their numerous friends
and relatives with the intention of de-
feating the ends of justice but the up.
right Judge nevertheless discharged
his duty nobly, and gave those public
plunderers the full benefit of the vic.
lated law.
The individual who assumes the
duties of an office, with no higher mo-
tives than to "leatber his own nest" is
a knave, and wholly mistakes the pur.
poses and designs of his position, and
il is public misfortune that so few of
that class reach the penitcntiary An
officer is entitled to the honor and all
his legal fees, but he owes society and
his friends something far more sub.
stantial, If he proposes 10 FIJI the measure

How CONSERVATIVE notice that
several of our Radical exchanges are
pitching into Col. Mcclure, the editor
of the Philadelphia Times, and calling
him n renegade, because lie has aban-
doned the Radical party This mode
of abuse is o little sarcastic under the
circumstances. The same journals
who manifest their wrath in this
manner fly the names of two rene
gades, Hartranft and Rawle, at the
head Of their columns. 1t is said that
the latter never voted Radical ticket
until last fall, and is therefore one of
the newest Radicals on the turf. What
a jewel consistency is with some pco-
pie, anyhow.

In the true and noble sense, that is
the way to express ii. But to view
it from the standpoint of the bigot, il
is burlcsquc on truc and undefled re-
ligion. That our country is accursed
with religious aud political incendi-
aries, as well as in the fire line, needs
no special proof They arc to DO found
among the Protestant and Catholic
clergy, as well as mong the laymen.-
But they are not as dangerous to So
ciety us the bigots who control secu-
lar public journals. Harpcrs' Journal
Of Cipiiisdtion % stands at the head Of
this class of inccndiary organs follow
eddy afew weak imitators. We arc led
TO make these remarks after reading u
"blood and thunder" article in tho
Harrisburg Telegraph on the "Roman
Democracy and approvingly copied
into the RgftSmdn's journal last week.
The editors of the journals indicated
have clasped hands for the purpose of
getting up another bloody war on ac-
count of the lack, or excess OF reli-
gion o which they possess. They as
sumo to dictate to their ncighbors the
views they should embrace, and the
kind of life they should lead, in the
most offensive form.
1t must be plain to every thought
ful man that certain class of agita-
tors have undertaken the task OF get
ting up another war; far more bloody
and sanguinary in its effects than the
late crusade against slavery. Why
men who profess to be Christians
should engage in schemes to bring
about war, has always been incompre-
hensible to us, and we have never
heard a fanatic Of any kind give the
true reason for his wicked actions ;
hence we will not ask these modern
zcalots to give one, because they are
as incompetent to do so as their pre-.
decesssors, who have deluged every
corner of Gods footstool with human
gore.
1t becomes the duty of every Ameri-
can, who loves his fellow man and his
country, to watch these new crusaders,
who propose to get up a war for the
purpose Of improving their religion. -
They are dangerous reformcrs, and
few as they may seem to be, at this
day, they are on the increase. Society
must treat them as tho farmer does
the cookie and chcat--weed them out
so as to prevent the weeds from
choking the grain. If this is done

"HAT TE YOU HEA RID THE NEWS
EROH MtINEpr

FROM MAINE?r
Tho Independent editor, Col, Me-
Clure, of the Philadelphia Times, hay
ing "hcard from Maine" goes off in
this style:
"And now comes Maine and initiates
imitation In tho most tangible and
practical way. 1t initiates Democracy
and grccnbacISs, collapses Grantism
and tumbles the political playthings of
Blaine. The pine tree boys were
charged with the responsible duty of
re-acting tho political reaction, and
they soem to have ihrlcd their flag,
thrown down their arms and declared
that they didn't care whether school
kept or not. IL is u crushing blow to
the hopes of the leaders who have per-
verted and debauched the once patriot
ic and brave Republican organization,
and it teaches that public trust in their
administration is ended. Following
Connecticut IN April and California in
August-two OF the dcbatablc and in
dex Statcs-with nearly an utter an
Inhalation of the Republican majority,
it points tho tide of popular opinion
unmistakably. 1t was u fair, open,
face TO face contest, and on honest is
sues. Both parties declared for
specie resumption as the remedy for
our financial troubles, and the once
vital political issues between tho or.
CARNATIONS so clearly defined and
understood, were canvassed and passed
upon. Morton and Dawes and Hoar
and Blaine and Hamlin and Morrill,
and Hale, the ablest of the Now

a regular Ney charge Of the old Re

Democrats OF Ohio and Pennsylvania
should have been grist to the Rcpubli-
can mill, il there is any sincerity in the
professions of the people of both par
ties for assumptions but there, as else
where, the under-current was doubtless
for more money, and honest men
felt that Republicanism, as manipu-
lated by its assumed leaders, had worn
its virtues more than thread-barc while
its vices had grown like noxious weeds,
to pollutc both local and national au.
thority. A nominal majority of four
thousand, where twenty thousand was
once certain in such contest as that
