THE latter-day soft money converts Of
the Democracy have, as usual, stolen the
livery of Republicanism to serve their
demagogical purposes in. Now that green
backs have become a popular necessity
they rcpudiate their past opposition to
their issue, and propose TO turn the Govern
ment into n moncy-printing machine, with
limtless power to print irredcemable rags
by the ton. There is no halfway measure
in their policy. They proposed to adhere
to hard money when the necessities Of the
war demanded an extraordinary strain
upon the public confidence; and now they
propose to abuse that confidence by plung-
ing the nation into the depths Of irrede cm-
able currency obligations. There is, of
course, no consistency in such q diversity
of attitudes hut they are characteristically
Democratic.

EVERY Republican clerk from Pennsyl-
vania should ascertain or see If his name is
properly recorded on the regstry-listS.
Under the new constitution persons in the
service of the United States cannot he de-
prived of their vote on account of their alb
sence from the State. However, he shall
have paid within two years state or
county tax which shall have been assessed
at least two months, and paid at least one
month before the day of election, in order
to properly qualify him. 1t becomes the
duty of every Republican clerk from Penn
sylvania, from this day until the ith of Sep
tember next, to apply to the assessor in his
district, ward, division, or precinct, if he
wants his name placed on the list. 1t is the
duty OF every assessor 10 remain at the
clection-housc inss his respective district on
the Sd and lth days Of September next
when those not registered eau find him and
have their names put on the registry OF
voters. There is penalty of line and i'm
prisonment where an assessor knowingly re-
fuses to assess person who is qualified, and
all the Keystone clerks here are certainly
qualified under the new constitution. Brace
up, brothers, and attend to this.

The idea that the Southern Democracy
by the logical operation OF the fifteenth
amendment Is now enjoying in an illegal
wav, and as the result Of political murders
and prescription, an increase of representa-
tion in Congress and the Electoral College
is beginning 10 take strong ioothold in
the Northern mind. The Hon. CHARLEs
FOSTER, of Ohio, in his late speech at
Springfield, in that State, alluded 10 the
| subject as follows:
By the adoption Of the fifteenth amendment
| the political power of the South iu the Elec.
toral College and in the House Of Representa-.
tives was increased about 20 per cent. The
Republican party to-day can poll, II permitted
! to do so, 30 per cent. Of the vote of the south.
| Yet. IN the coming elections, do not believe
that We can carry Que in five of the district
that we know to be reliably Republican. BY
force and fraud the political power of 30 pei
cent. Of their people Is exercised solely by the
10 per cent, thus making solid Democrsti,
south. The right of the citizens Of ssvera
States to enjoy the privileges and immunitiei
of all the States is not respected in any local
tiles. 1t Is said condcsccndingly that Repub
lcan can live in the south without trouble, /
he will keep paddock on his mouth.

publican Congressional nomination in the

ability to all concerned. The convention
will he held tomorrow, and the chances are
apparently in favor Of Mr.. BURR. If nomi-
