the following: There is Democratic
rebellion all around the board Up il

Poucher, Delos De Volt, I. j. Smith, and

opposing Tiden, and they denounce him in
the bitterest terms. Albany supplements

Vosburgs, and Schuylers, led by the Albany
Eoening Times, an influential Democratic
daily declare that this 'reformer' is a fraud
upon the party and knavc generally. In
this section Hon. George j. Magee, i. p.
Hart, and Ausbuu Birdsall have deserted

it that at least So, 100 fell to Pike county
that 81 800 stuck to the fingers ola Monroe

no small load of Greebracks burdened the

evidence that she went home sore headed
because of her defeat, and mad because the

WHY TiEGen and the Ought
fO-RCEOE,l e Democracy
should be defeated.

1st.-Before the rebellion it used its in
fuence for the propagation Of the secession
States Rights Doctrine, which Gen. Jack
son made infamous.
2nd.-Bcfore the War it was controlled
by the same persons who became the leaders
Of the rebellion.
3d.-During the entire war the sympa-
thies of a great majority Of the Northern
leaders were in favor Of the South.
4th.-To-day It's policy is shaped by the
same men who rebelled in 1861.
5th.-Its whole influence during the re-
construction period has been used in favor
Of the ex-Rebels.
6th.-It has kept alive the prejudiees
caused by the war, and has encouraged the
persecution Of our negro citizens.
7th.-It IS the secret and open enemy Of
our free schools, and in many States has
openly allied itself with the Roman Catholic
Church and demands that portion Of the
school funds should be set apart for the sup
port Of Catholic Schools, III opposition to
ngn-sectarian schools.
8th.-It Is r.edged by the promises Of
It's leaders and sympathies of its follower:
to the payment oflosses caused by the Wal
to rebel property amounting to over two
billion Of dollars.
9th.-Its coming into power would be a
signal for ex-Confederate raids upon the
Treasury such as would add to our public
debt, depreciate our currency, destroy our
credit and bankrupt our nation.
10th.-It has shown its unftness tc
govern the Union by nominating Tilder
for the Presidency who at the breaking GU
Of the War publicly proclaimed his disap
proval of It's objects, and during its pro
gress secretly favored the Confederates
and at Chicago in 1864 signed a resolution
declaring the War for the Union failure

Brockway went home to Columbia county
terribly muddled in the upper story, and
our pussy friend Klotz retired to the wilds

serious consequence. There is some talk
