revolution as dangerous as the rebellion
itself
When fifteen States can be more unified
by the shotgun aud the bludgcon than they
were by armed secession itself, and when
this combination is enforced by the sup
preston of free speech, Il free ballot, and
free schools, its success must end our re-
publican experiment. These men tried to
fight their way out of the Union at IN
incalculable sacrifice of human life, and
now they are trying within the Union, by
new forms Of violence and fraud, to re-
establish the dogmas supposed to be destroy
cd on the battlefield. All they ask is a
sufficient contingent from the free States to
complete their programme.
1t is in this Centennial year, when Penn
sylvania is inviting all the nations to her
hosplta!lties, and proiiering encouragement
and kindness to her Southern sisters that
the Contedcrates advance upon her borders
to make another effort for the heresy which
originated and prolonged the rebellion.
Pennsylvania demands ''pcacc and unity"
but she demands them as the result of
cheerful obedience to just law, and not as
the sullcn submission compelled by the
officers Of the law.
Pennsylvania demands industrial and
commercial prosperity but she knows that
these are the fruits of peaceful and orderly
society, based upon honesty and right, and
cannot grow out Of the anarchy and chaos
threatened in Solid South Pennsylvania
will first have justice, then prosperity. Has
the country no road to prosperity but that
which disgraces the scars of the living
soldiers and dishonors the graves of the
dead ?
Pennsylvania will have purity in public
administration, but she wants none of the
illusiye promises of ''reform" made by Til
den and illustrated by Tweed and the
disciples of Tammany Hall.
Men Of Pennsylvania, upon you rests
the responsibility-yours is the absorbing
obligation. viii you "Hold the Fort ?"
BY order of the committee.

Hayes, Tilden, and the American Alliance

The latest campaign lie set on foot by
the reform party, charging Gov. Hayes with
indorsing the principles Of an obscure or
ganization styling itself ''The American Al
lance has already tumbled to the ground.
The following letter is conclusive on the
subject:
| wish to correct some mistakes made
by persons in commenting upon the letter
sent to the American Alliance by Mr.. 4.
E. Lee, Gov. Hayes secretary. l. Gov.
Hayes never was a member of the Ameri
can Alliance. ,. He never saw the consti
tuition or bylaws of the organization. 3.
No committee Of this order ever at anv
time called on him, either at PHILADELPHIA.
Columbus, or any other place, for any pur
pose. We simply informed him by letter
that we indorsed his nomination in answer
to which we received the letter from his
secretary. That letter was taken from NV
Office, and L was as much surprised as any
one can be to see it in print.
| am at a loss to see why Democratic NJ
pers should find any fault with the pro-
ceedlngs, as We indorsed Mr.. TiIden for
Governor two pears ago, and he found no
fault with 1t, but on the contrary was very
greatetul for the assistance only he reuues-
ted that it be kept secret, as. if it should
become public, he learned he would lose
the 1orelGn vote. Respectfully yours,
LEMUEL S. TYLER,
Secretary American Alliance.

common habit with this fish in marshes OF
the Delaware when the tide is up and rail
shooting is in vogue. One has to be quick
in picking up the birds when Slot, as we
have known eels to seize and make off with
them. This is particularly the case with
fiuttering wounded birds. Water snakes of

When this old hat was new, boys,
Sam Tilden and Bill Tweed,
Were bosom cronieS in New York,
And mighty well agreed,
The tricks one did not think OF, sir,
The other surely knew;
And so they sweled their bank accounts
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
Oh. how the money went;
They scooped the city treasury up,
And vt were not content,
by plans that Sam invented, sir,
Known but to very few,
They counted Hoffman Governor,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
And everything serene,
While Sammy ran the railroads,
The Boss ran the machine"
With Hoffman up the Hudson, sir,
Oh! how the money flew;
Reform was what they did not want,
When this old hat was new.
when this old hat was new, boys,
Great scandals were ahoat;
The Tamny ring was broken up,
The Boss was made scape-goat;
Ungratcful sam at last began,
Though still one of the crew,
To cry "Stop thief" and keeps itup,
Since that old hat was new
When this old hat was new, BOYS,
If we have learned the facts,
Our Sammy made a false return
Upon his income tax;
And had the law but reached the fraud,
And dealt him justice true,
Like Tweed he'd worn striped suit,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new, boys,
\ funny thing to see
Was little sam a figuring
The President to be.
He pardoncd convicts great and small,
And Tweed to Cuba flew,
For Sammy had use for him,
When this old hat was new.
Although this hat is old, boys,
And bleached by the sun,
III wear it like an honest man
Until the victory's won;
I'll swing it in the air, boys,
For Hayes and Wheeler true,
And next November I will win
\ dozen bright and new.

" fail to accomplish the public good anticipated
by its advocate" because the style OF construc-
