In Bad Condition,

The condition of things in the Fayette-
WestmorelaRd-G Greene congressional dis
trict does not seem TO have been improved
by the intervention of the state committee,
and its amounting Rafferty, as the regular
candidate. They buried Latta, but
the dissatisfied voters have put up Don
nelly in his place, who is wealthy physi.
clan of Latrobe. 1t is not to be presumed
that either of these candidates will be
elected, and the strong probability is that
this Democratic district will be represented
in Congress by Republican.
This is little less than crime upon the
part of the selfish interests that are respon-
sible for it. There does not remain ques-
tion that this responsibility chiefly rests
upon Rafferty,, who should have declined
the nomination when he found how unsat-
isfactory it was to the voters. His stubborn
ness loses the district, which he says he
can stand If the people can. The devotion
to party which such declaration shows,is
of the very thinnest kind. There is hardly
veneer of the thing on Rafferty,. If he
should be chosen by the Democrats of the
district to Congress, they may expect him
to vote Rafferty's politics right along,
whether Democratic or otherwise, and
then to ask the people what they are going
to do about 1t.
It's lamentable that the sensible course
OF nominating Democratic candidate who
can command the party vote has not been
possible In this district but when passion
drives folly rides.

The value of Uackbon in the state depart
ment has again been emphasized by the sud
den collapse o: Spain on the discovery that
such thing existed in America. For many
years the policy of the United States in deal
iug with European governments has been
c1nciliatory in the extreme, and foreign diplo-
mats had come 10 believe that we could be
dealt with like the Chinese and were
as little to be feared SO that the
presidents proclamation imposing dis.
criuhnsting duties must have been
a startling eye opener for the Dons.
Diplomacy is proverbially slow aud Spanish
diplomacy the slowest of them all, but the
rspidity with which the Spanards were
brought to terms by this firm, aggressive
measure is truly startling. 1t is an acknowl.
edgement of the value OF our concessions
to Spain and provokes regret that for so many
years we have received no equivalent for
those concessions, simply because former
administrations lacked the nerve TO adopt
President Cleveland's manly course.

LANCASTER. OCTOBER %. 1856.
A Great Meeting.

There was lesson for all citizens in the
splendid outpouring of the people at
M@nnerchor hall last evening to hear the
discussion of the issues of this campaign
from Democratic standpoint. 1t was
no mob of wild partisans ready to cheer to
the echo party cry. But it was calm,
deliberative body of men who had come to
get the fullest possible information on the
questions of the hour in order that they
might most intelligently vote thereon.
The mechanic, the laborer, the farmer,
the business man were all there, and as
the speakers touched upon the questions
that affect the hearts and homes of
audience showed that a responsive chord
had been struck. For this is peculiarly a
peoples campaign. Labor every day is
made to feel that its fate is in its own hands.
Never will the ballot be more potent for
the workingman than this year, when the
Democratic party is making the fight i'll
his behalf. Shall it be said that the great
party of Jefferson in so doing labors in vain !?
We much mistake the temper of last
nights audience, if such is shown to be the
case on Wednesday next. The cheers that
greeted the forceful remarks of the speak
ers had the true ring in them, and the
tremendous enthusiasm that shook the
walls OF the building when the name of
Henry Drachbar, for assembly, was men,
toned, shows that the Democratic party
in this CITY is safely anchored in the lahor-
ing mans heart and that great victory
next Tuesday is certain.
But let no Democrat lag because of this
grateful assurance. The enemy are pre-.
pared to contest every inch of ground
Sleepless energy is required in order to win,
and from now until election day let every
effort be made to bring out the Democratic
vote. For eternal vigilance will this year
be the price of liberty.

existed, II would be an evil of such menac-
ing character as TO outrank all other
national issues. II is simple question Of
fact; John Sherman and his friends assert
It, but have only their assertion 10 sustain
them, which is lamentably insufficient.
The South is Democratic, though a large
body of the voters have received the ballot
from Republicans. Therefore II is argued
that the gratitude Of these voters has been
suppressed by force. This conclusion
reached, the partisan becomes deaf TO rea.
soning and blind 10 fact. and will continue
sincerely to believe that terrorism prevails
over the will of the people in that section.
Many of the colored people of the South
are intelligent enough 10 see that if the
gift of the ballot carried with it the condi-
tion that 1t should only be used as ordered
by men who might claim the credit of the
gift--if its price was political bondage-it
was privilege too dearly bought.

Why They Were Angry.

The Republican leaders are SO much dis
turbed at the thought of damaging effect
upon their cause of the assault made by their
partisans upon the Bellefonte IVdtchmau
Office, which was placarded with the Belle
fonte Iron company's store order and with
Grand Master Powderly's denunciation of
such means of paying workmen, that they
hasten to send out by the telegraph afti-
davits declaring that p. Gray Meek, of the
Watchman, had arranged the placard with
express intent of provoking to violence the
friends of Beaver in the procession which
welcomed Blaine TO Beavers home. 1t is
not very apparent wherefore this affords an
extenuation of the Republican violence
and as the allidavits show that the obnoX-
ious paper had been posted in the Watch
mans window for some days before the
procession 1T is not clear how they prove that
Mr.. Meek put them there TO provoke the
ire of the procession. The fact doubtless
is that they were posted for the general
information of the people of Bellefonte
as they passed the Watckmdn'S window
and that Mr.. Meek declined to take them
down when the procession came along. OF
course, he was right in that. The men in
the procession were entitled to the benefit
of the knowledge of Beavers doings, even
if they were determined to vote for him
anyway. If the store order and Grand
Master Powderly' denunciation aggrieved
them SO as to incite them to stone the
Watcl,man's windows, it is fair inference
that they believed them to be damaging to
their candidate or else they would not have
been SO angry.

ARBoR DAY seems 10 be losing its grip.
Its observance in Lancaster was only in one
school, and the reports from the state DO not
show that it was recognized. 1t was a mis-.
take to have an Arbor Day in the spring and
also in the fall. One would have been enough
for all purposes, and it would have stood
some chance of general recognition. In
Philadelphia, Superintendent MscAlister re-
ports that the parents take no interest in the
movement and the pupils pass Arbor Day in
idleness. 1t would be great pity If this
most excellent project should he allowed to
go into decay.
