TIIE INDICATIONS AT TIIE NORTH.
1 bo election in Connecticut resulted as was
anticipated in a marked triumph of the De
mocracy. This is only an intimation of the
determination of the people not only in that
State but throughout the North to drive from
power the profligate party of destruction
which has already produced more misery and
wasted more treasure in lose than eight years,
than any other party ever was j'uilty of in a
century. Immense and unprecedented mass
meetiugs of the Democracy are being held
throughout the North and West. One at Indi
anapolis the other day caused the Radicals
almost to despair of even carrying Indiana,
the home of Colfax." On Monday night the
largest and grandest demonstration ever seen
in America was held in New York, at which
it was estimated there were half a million
people present; and the most intense enthusi
asm was manifested. The signs arc truly
cheering and the dark night of Radical misrule
and oppression is drawing to a close. Fanati
cism is giving place to reason, and the corrup
tion of the Radical leaders can no longer be
concealed from the sight of the poople they
have so long deceived and plundered. Let
our people he true to themselves, suffer none
of tho outrages of our wily enemies to betray
us into violence, and above all, give no sanc
tion to their iniquity either by word or vote,
and the election in November promises to be
the death knelLof Radicalism, and the dawn
of restored Constitutional Liberty to all sec
tions of our suffering country.
Although the Radicals have made a great
noise about their victory in Maine, they have
actually lost since the last general election
therein 1806, over 7,000 of their majority.
A proportionate loss in the great States of New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana will
give them to the Democratic nominees, and
elect Seymour and Blair overwhelmingly.—
Indeed, it is not at all doubtful that the popu
lar vote will he largely Democratic. The only
question now is, will the vote he sufficiently
overwhelming to deter the Radicals from at
tempting by force and fraud to perpetuate
their power? Under ordinary circumstances
this attempt would involve too much risk for
any party to venture upon it. But it must be
remembered that the extravagance and reck
lessness of this party have been such that
even holding all the branches of the govern
ment in their own hands, they cannot conceal
frauds and peculations amounting to hundreds
if not thousands of millions. To allow the
Democratic party to take charge of the gov
ernment, will enable them to expose all these
villanies, and of course, forever sink the party
perpetrating them under the condemnation of
all honest people. Thus they have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by holding on to
the government, even at the point of the
bayonet, if they can so succeed in shielding
themselves from exposure. The people on the
other hand have everything to gain, and can
possibly lose nothing by driving them from
the offices they have so shamelessly perverted
to base and selfish purposes, as a worse set of
men cannot be found in the country to take
tlieir places. Any people is unworthy of
freedom who will quietly allow their constitu
ted government to be subverted without an
effort to sustain it. The American people
will make that effort in November and
woe to that party which shall dare to re
sist their will! They may provoke a terrible
civil war. but in the end the adherents of
Radicalism will pray for the cold mantle of
oblivion to hide them from the merited execra
tion of all virtuous and intelligent people.
Will they he Counted ?
In the name of impartial suffrage, Congress
has forbidden Virginia, Texas, and Mississip
pi to vote at the on-coming election, and it is
now desired to know whether the votes of these
States are to "be counted as making up the total
vote of the Electoral College. If so, that total
will be6l7, and 169 neeessary to elect. If not,
the total will bo 294: necessary to elect, 148.
The point seems to have been left open a 8
plating a discrepancy of eleven votes at the
disposal of Congress, to manipulate according
as, in the light of the election returns, the
interests of moral ideas may require. If Sey
mour should get 148 votes, it would be no elec
tion and must go to the House; if Grant
should get 148, it would be all right, a fair
elect ion,'will of the people, glorious triumph,
ar.d soon.

Realty and Personalty, and for tho valua

Df.l mar’s Expose —llovv it is Received nv
the Radical Leaders.— Telegrams to Secre
tary McCulloch announcing the publication to
day, in Boston and New York, of an expose
of the true condition of the Federal Treasury,
from the pen of Alexander Delmar, the Direct
or of the Bureau of Statistics, has rested a
great storm in the Department, and political
circles here are in a perfect foment. Who is
Mr. Delmar, that he should thus assume the
task of exposing the condition of our resources ?
Mr. Delmar in reply, asks, why allow the
Radical politicians to blind the people by false
statements, nnd make them believe that the
national debt is being diminished when, in
fact the Government is not meeting its expen
ditures by upward of or.e hundred and fifty
millions of dollars per annum, which most he
made up by on increased taxation upon the
people? Other subordinate officials have at
tempted, by well written articles, to prove the
Treasury to he in a most healthy condition.—
Director Delmar lias used his thorough knowl
edge of facts and figures to expose its rotten
ness. and the Radical wire-pullers at Washing
ton are made to howl over this unexpected blow
which they admit is a stunner, it is under
stood the article alluded to will also appear in
the columns of the National Intelligencer to
morrow morning. The lion. Robert J, Walk
er, tlio recognized financier of the country,
has read this exposure, and pronounces it
perfectly overwhelming, lie thinks it will
arouse’ the whole country to a lively apprecia
tion of the reckless extravagance of the domin
ant party, and lead to the annihilation of the
Radical party. — Wash. Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.

Occupation.
What a glorious thing it is for the human
heart. Those who work hard, seldom yield
themselves entirely up to fancied or real sorrow.
When grief sits down, folds its hands, and
mournfully feeds upon its own tears, weaving
the dim shadow, that a little exertion might
sweep away, into a funeral pall, the strong
spirit is shorn of its might, and sorrow becomes
our master. When troubles flow upon you,
dark and heavy, toil not with the waves, wres
tle not with the torrent; rather seek, by occu
pation, to avert the dangers which threaten to
overwhelm you. Before you dream of it, those
waters will fertilize the present, and give birth
to the iresh flowers that they may brighten the
future—flowers that will become pure and holy
in the sunshine which penetrates to the path
of duty, in spite of every obstacle. Grief, after
all, is but a selfish feeling, and most selfish is
the man who yields himself to the indulgence
of any passion which brings no joy to his fellow
man.
An Alton letter says it seems impossible to
control the mouth of the Missouri, it has so
many outlets and covers such a large area of
country. Already has more than two hundred
acres of farms fallen in at the Edwardsville
junction, above Madison, and still it goes on
each day, with only a narrow rim loft to keep
the river in its present channel. Engineers
have thus far failed to find a remedy, and the
fiver will, at its present action, probably throw
in the last few acres which keeps it out of the
American Bottom lakes during thccoming year.
llow .11 utters Look.
From our latest exchanges we get tho fol
lowing intelligence as to tho aspect of the
canvass in the States of New York and Penn
sylvania. Tho New York correspondence of
tho Cincinnati Enquirer says :
“Grant’s friends, profane and otherwise
have given up all hopes of carrying New
York. They do not stand a ghost of a chance.
The prospect for Seymour and Hoffman im
proves daily, .and will grow brighter till along.
But if the Radicals have given up the State in
one way, they still Hope to secure it in anoth
er. A successor to Senator Morgan will he
elected by the next Legislature, and the whole
strength of tho party will be put forth to
change the complexion of tho Assembly, so
that Morgan may lie succeeded by a man of
his own stripe. The Radical managers are
trying to bargain for un exchange of votes in
the Assembly Districts. They offer Radical
votes for Hoffman in exchange, for Democratic
votes for Radical Assemblymen, and they offer
money besides. There is not the slightest
probability that they will succeed in this
scheme. Tho Democrats have been warned
and are wide awake, and the next Assembly
will probably he even more strongly Democrat
ic than the present one.
Despairing of carrying New York in No
vember, the Radicals arc working hard to
secure Pennsylvania in October. Money,
speakers and documents are sent oft’ daily for
service in the Keystone State. But from all
appearances they might as well be kept at
homo. The advices from Pennsylvania arc of
the most cheering character. A Democratic
majority of from ten to fifteen thousand is
confidently predicted by prominent Democrats
there.
Radical Lies.
The Radicals arc so hard pushed that they
resort to lies on prominent Democrats. The
Cincinnati Commercial recently sent a special
correspondent to Tennessee to lie about Gen.
Forrest. That same journal and others have
published and commented on a letter purport
ing to have been written by Mr. Pendleton to
a gentleman in Texas, in regard to the vote of
that State. Mr. Pendleton nails this last lie
down in tho Commercial of the 26th, as follows.
Columbus Enquirer.
CiRCi.EviLi.F., Ohio, Sept. 29, 1868.
Editor Commercial : The letter in the Com
mercial of to-dav, as being from mo to Somers
Kenny, of Texas, dated Bangor, Maine, Sept.
21, 1868, is a forgery. Your friendly com
ments conveyed the first knoweldgc I had of
the letter, or of the person to whom it is ad
dressed.
Geo. 11. Pendleton.
The Campaign ia Ohio.
The vote in Ohio was so close at the last
election that the change of one vote in each
township will give it to the Democracy. To
prove that a far greater change than this is
going on, the P’aindealer gives the following
items :
The Statesman says it has tho names of ono
hundred and thirty-three men who voted the
Republican ticket in that city last fall, hut
who will vote with us in October and No
vember,
A letter from the 4th District says the de
feat of Lawrence, Radical Congressman, in that
district is sure.
A correspondent from old Seneca say - that
county will give from 800 to 1,000 majority
against Gibson.
Dr, Sainpscl and IV. S. Spencer, heretofore
prominent Republicans in Ashland, Ohio,
have conic out for Seymour and Blair.
_ -- ———-
Pennsylvania.
From accounts which reach us from Penn
sylvania, it is evident that never were such ef
forts put forth by the Radicals to carry this
State on the 13th of this month. Tho wealth
of eight vears’ plundering is poured out lavish
ly. The scheming, unprincipled, devilish
spirit which has grown up in the disturbance
of war is let loose there. The harpies are sent
from every quarter of the country to plunder
the old Keystone table. And the evidence is
overwhelming, that, while no corresponding
outlay of effort is being made by our Demo
cratic friends, enough is being done to secure
a working majority. The people were never
before so extravagant in the enthusiasm for
the unadulterated, red hot Democracy. With
out effort, and without outlay, they are rising
in legions to hurl hack tho usurping tyrants
which oppress the land. Wc have the fullest
confidence that Pennsylvania will do her duty.
— N. Y. Democrat.
Figures Do not Lie— Mu. Delmar Sustain
ed. — Wo are enabled to state, upon reliable
official authority, that the expenditures last
month were $28,485,000. There was no in
terest to pay last month on tho public debt.
Nothing for “Alaska.” Army transportation,
of course, formed a large part, but it will be
much heavier when the winter season sets
in.
The average monthly interest upon the na
tional debt is about $11,000,000. Add this to
the above sum of current expenditures—S2B,-
485,000 —and we have near $40,000,000 as the
expenditure that falls upon September. This
sum multiplied by the number of months in
the year, gives $480,000,000 about the sum
estimated by Mr. Deltnar. The average for
the last three years lias been $400,000,000. —
and yet Congress denies payment to public
creditors, and refuses to make proper appro
priations for many of the ordinary objects of
legislation. Principal and interest on the
public debt are thus forcibly kept below their
natural figures.— Nat. Intel.
W hat “our” Army Costs.— lt is demonstra
ted from official reports that the United States
Army cost $11,800,000 during the tnonth of
August, 1868. The cost in September and
October will not be less than SIJ ,000,009 for
each month, and lias averaged this in a time
of peace. In three consecutive years of peace
the expenses of our military system reached
$6(5,000,000, and even Mr. Wells is forced to
admit that the cost of the last year was $123 -
000,000.

was brilliantly illuminated by strings of lights
stretched to Tammany Hall. The streets in
the vicinity were literally on fire with calcium
lights, rockets, fire paintings, and balloons.
The main stand, facing Broadway, was tho
centre of attraction, outside of Tammany Hall,
although there wore six other stands at which
speeches were made to the immense throng.
The multitude was roughly estimated at half
a million of men, women, and children. The

Glorious News from the Northwest.
We had the pleasure of an interview yester
day with a gentleman who had just returned
from a long visit to tho States of Ohio, Indi
ana, and Illinois. lie has spent several weeks
in eltfch of these States—has traveled through
them very extensively—especially tho 1 after
two, and has had line opportunites for ascer
taining tho correct condition of the canvass
there.
As the result of bis observations, formed
after a careful of the whole field, he
says that Indiana is considered as almost abso
lutely certain for Hendricks, in the election on
the 13th, and that our friends claim that Illi
nois is as certain as Indiana. He says that be
did not hear of any changes, in his whole trip,
from the Democracy to Radicalism ; hut, on
the other hand, changes from Radicalism to
tho Democracy were frequent and general.
On one occasion, while riding on a train in
Illinois, the vote was taken with the following
result: Seymour, 35; Grant, 17. The Ger
mans in the West—and there are many thou
sands of them iu Illinois and Indiana—arc
withdrawing cn masse from the Radicals, and
re-aligning themselves with their old political
friends.
In Ohio, our friends arc hard at work, and
arc quite as certain of success.
Ho says that the Democracy were never more
hopeful and confident of a glorious victory, and
never, in the history of parties, have such Her
culean efforts been made to carry an election
as our friends in the Northwest are now mak
ing.
Our informant is one of the ablest, most elo
quent and distinguished gentlemen in the
South—a gentleman, whose means of deriving
correct information, and of ascertaining public
sentiment are, from the peculiar nature of his
profession and duties, most thorough and com
plete. If we were authorized to give his name
it would ho sufficient to command tho highest
respect for his opinions, without endorsement
from us.— Chronicle & Sentinel, 3 d inst.
At a recent Seymour and Blair pole raising
in the city of Evansville, Pennsylvania, the
speakers on tho occasion were three influon
cial citizens of that place who, a year ago,
were uncompromising red hot Radicals.—
There is a world of significance in such facts
as these !

lion. P. C. Brooks, of Boston, who left the
largest fortune ever amassed in this country,
on being asked what rule he would recommend
to a young man as most likely to insure suc
cess, answered : “ Let him mind his own bu
siness ;” and, to a similar inquiry it has been
said that Robert Lenox, of New York, well re
membered as one of the most distinguished
merchants ever known in that great city, once
answered, “ Let him be beforehand with his
business.” One answer seems to include the
other, as no man can he beforehand with his
business unless he minds it.
There is good sound sense in the following
paragraph from the New York Journal of
Commerce:
“There is no poetry in the situation, and wo
intend that it shall not be our fault if the peo
ple do not understand it. Hurrahing for party
will not fill the Treasury. Promises of imme
diate relief to burdened taxpayers aro all for
buncombe, and cannot be kept. The wheel is
setting heavily in the rut of debt, and only
sturdy shoulders can give it an onward motion.
This work must como upon the toiling millions
of the country, vote as they may in the election
now before us.”
Think of it.—The present cost of our
eminent is sl4, when the year before the
it was $1.60 per head. Where it costs
