Mongrel Corruption—Luxury of the
Freedman’s Bureau—How do you
Like It P
Give the people, the honest portion
of them, light—show them how rotten,
liow thioving, how devilishly wicked
the scoundrels are who have tho reins
of Government In their lmntjs—and
wo bolieve they will hurl those infa
mous creatures from power. A knowl
edgo of the enormity of their crimes
—of the manlier In which they. art?
squandering tho people’s hard earn-’
lugs—is all that is wanted to insure
the triumph of democratic principles,
and a return of tho Government to its
former prosperity and greatness.
Never, since tho thirtcou colonies
doclnred their independence of British
oppression, Dave the pcoplo been made
to groan tinder such weighty and un
warranted taxation. Thu tax or duty
on tea, which produced the difficulty
between tho fathers of tho Republio
and the mother country, was light in
comparison to the tax imposed upon
the peopio of Amerioa by the plunder
ing, thieving Mongrels. This “ Ged
and morality party” that prates so
lpudly about “economy," keeps up on
army of 60,000 men at ait expense
to tho Govornmont—to the honest, hard-
working tax-payers I—of $140,000,000,
and all for wlmt ? To serve tho infa
mous purposes of tho nigger bureau
system 1—to keep in existence an in
stitution that fosters laziness, theft and
every spocies of crimo among the lousy,
trifling niggers of the South, by giving
them rations and paying them money
to vote with the Mongrels I Yes, this
negro bureau curso “is made the osten
sible reason for supporting a military
force of twice the size and three times
the cost of that which was sufficient
to conquer Mexico.” Think of this,
ye tax-payors of tho nation when you
go to the polls, nnd voto for Seymour
and Blair who will free the country of
this and ovory othor Mongrel curse.
But wlmt does this infernal institu
tion, called the Freedman’s Bureau,
cost the Government f—how much
money is taken from tho Treasury to
pay tho agents, clerks, surgeona and
othor hangers on of tills rascally con
cept? Lot us see. The number of
agents, iic., employed under that plun
dering institution, numbers 111, and
the yearly amount, in salaries alone,
paid to .these leaches is $931,459.—
Just think of it, laboring men of Am
erica 1—$981,459 yearly paid out of
tho public treasury in salaries alone to
this army of 111 idle, non-producing,
wealth-consuming drones I Add tho
above figures to tho cost of running
the bureau mnehine, together with the
expense of the liugo army of 60,000
men whi eh this diabol leal concern keeps
in the field to enable its infernal prin
ciples to live, and the total yearly cost
of this national curse will foot up $200,-
000,000. Oh I tho scoundrelism of the
Mongrels!—what will they not do in
tho way of squandering tho people’s
hard earnings to keep their rotten,
thieving party in power ? These fright
ful expenditures must lie reduced—
this nigger curBc must be broken up—
this army of 60,000 men disbanded—
the ruins of government must bo taken
out of the hands of the wicked party
in power, or the country will soon be
hopelessly bankrupt.
Bard in Lov6 Again I
Bard has fallen in love with Gen'l
Young, our gontlemanly and patriotio
Representative. lie says, “the fact
is, wo lilio him and we don’t try rauoh
to help It" We do not wonder that
all honest white men admire the Gen
eral, but wo do not see how Bard's
sort can like him—he is too brave,
high-toned and chivalrous for that I
Cropping Oui
Gonorat GnrfloW, member of
gross from Ohio, made
other day, in whloh he'said:
11 General Grant trill bo elceted the noxt P.-ca-
lilont of tho United SISUu. When thus denied,
he Intends, with tho aid ortho Radical tnnjiirltv
In Congresa, to rulo tho country by tho help of a
little triangular pleco of atool called a b-yaneU” ,
That’s it I Tito opponents of your
infamous party—tho good and truo_
men of tho country—are tYcli awaro
of that fact. Tbs Mongrels have boon,
and aro now, ruling the country “ by
the help of.tlint little triangular pleco
of steel I” and wo are satisfied that if
Grant Is elected he will' continue to ilo
tho same thing, with this dlffcronoa,
that his' rulo will ho moro after tho
fashion of European despots. But this
declaration of Gen. Garfield is clearly
revolutionary, and as such wo denounco
It. We are satisfied that tho Mongrels
intend, by the aid of its army Qf 60,-
000 “ bayonets,” to uso tho most'dls--
honornblo moans on the. day of elec
tion—by cheating, fraud, swindling
and intimidation—to thrust their man,
Butcher Grant, on tho peopio of Amer
ica as their next President. They
mu9t bring into requisition that “ little
pleco of triangular stool ” where It can
bo done with Impunity, or they are
lost—utterly and forever defeated,
wiped out of existence, as a party.—
This they soo and feel: and wo further
believe that should they fall at the bal
lot-box, they will, If tho majority Is not
too groat against them, attempt to in
augurate their man President “ by the
help of that little piece of triangular
steel I”' But should they do this—
should they practice fraud, swindling,
etc., in order to place Grant iu the
Presidential chair—the N. Y.DayBook
tells his lt backer, Gen’l Garfield, M.
C., that the Democracy also Understand
the manipulation of the triangular
pleco of steel he alludes to, and inteod
to protect their liberties with it if ne
cessary—that tho right of tho ballot-
box !e one thing, but the abuse of its
privileges is quite another; and the
democracy will not supinely allow the
shackles of slavery to bo placed upon
their limbs, through any thimble-rig
ballot-box game.”
Another civil war would bo a terri
ble horror! J' 0 * 1 such declarations as
tho above looks very much like the
Mongrels Intend to plunge the country
Into this horror of horrors In the effort
to obtain control of the Government
for another four yours. Fair play is
nil tho democracy ask—give them this
nnd they will nbida the issue liko hon

Congratulatory Address of tho Bonn-
eylvania Democratic State Com
mittee Upon the Glorious Gains in
Maine.
2'o the Democracy of Pennsylonnia
Tho sturdy Democracy of Maine
have covered themsolvo9 with glory.
In tho very citadel of Radicalism
they have demonstrated that yon aro
upon tho eve of n magnificent victory,
Tho two parties were last arrayed at
tho polls upon national issues iu 1366.
Maine then polled a vote nearly equal
to her voto in 1864, whilst Pennsylva
nia polled her largest vote.
Iu 1385 Radicalism received in
Maino 69,631 votes. In 1868 it re
ceived, as they themselves cstimato,
15,009. Tills is an inorenao of eight
por cent, upon the vote of 1866.
In 1866 Democracy there received
41,941 votes, and in 1868 it received
65,125 votes. This is an increase of
thirty-per eont. upon tho voto of 1866.
In 1866 Radicalism received in Penn
sylvania 301,214 votes, and Democra
cy received 300,000 votes.
Apply tlie tost of Maine to tills vote,
nnd Radicalism will receive in Penn
sylvania an incrense of eight per eont.,
24,581 votes, makings total of 331,855
votes, nnd Democracy will receive an
increase of thirty per cent., or 81,028
votes, making n total of 811,124 Dem
ocratic votos, showing That wo will
have a clear Domocratio majority of
45,269 votes,
Whilst tho totals shown by this esti
mate aro too large for tho voto that
will be enst in October, no man wlur
knows the condition of public sent!
rnentj in Pennsylvania will assert that
tho relative proportion will bo lessened.
Maine voted for John O. Fremont,
yet James Buchanan was elected Pres
ident, aud Pennsylvania led the column
of States that mado him tho Chief Ex
ecutive of tho nation.
Tho hope of the Republio is in the
Democracy of tho Keystone.
As in 1856 the responsibility of de
termining the contest now rests with
you.
Maine has proven that you can
ngniu bring triumph to the principles
that you love.
Let us arouse to renewed energy nnd
more determined effort.
By order of the Democratic State
Committee.

Chairman.

Pendleton appeared, nnd was greeted
With three times tlireo cheers by the

hold the audience spell-bound by its
eloquonco and impressiveness.
Tlie torchlight procession now par

that of the meeting to-day. Not less
than six or seven thousand torches are

OttEATEST MEETING SINCE 1846.
CAMBaiDQE City, Wayne County,1
September 11, 1868. J
The Democracy of tho Fourth Di»-
trlcl lieltl tut immense mass meeting in
this place to-day. Delegations were
present from Hagerstown, Oonnersville,
Milton, Gcrmnntown, Ac., aud nearly
every county in the district was large
ly represented. In tho forenoon a pro
cession,emuposod mainly of the “White
Boys in Bluo ” of Cambridge and ad,
joining towns, waB formed in the prin
cipal street, and marching nnd coun
ter-marching through the town, pre
sented an imposing appearance. Tlie
line which appeared to bo about three
miles iu length, occupied ubout one
hour in passing the gates of tho enclos
ure wlicfe tlie meeting was hold.
Tlio number of persons present was
no doubt greater thau-lind ever before
been assembled iu Cambridge. As
Judge Reid, candidate for Congress in
this district, remarked, in respouso to
a call for n speech, “There had been
nothing like it sineo the year 1846, and
even that great meeting which was then
held at COnnersvlHe, and which was
considered tlie monster of tlie times,
was not so large as this meeting now
at old Cambridge."
In the afternoon, after enjoying a
plentiful lunch, the crowd gntliered
around the speaker's stand, when Sen
ator Doolittle waB introduced, and made
a great speech, lasting two hours—
His extensive and powerful discussion
of tlie question of reconstruction was

Jackson C. H.„ Ohio, Sept. 13,1868.
—One of tlio largest mootings ever
held in Jackson couuty assembled to
day, and numbered fully 15,000. The
day was fine, and tlio people from the
country pbnred jq .by thousands. A
procession of two miles in length, head
ed by a large wagon, containing thirty-
seven young ladies dressed in red,
white, aud blue, marched through tho
town.
The mooting was organized in ahenu-
tiful grove near tlie town at 1'o’clock,
and was addressed by Mr. Vnllutulig-
ham for two hours and a lmlf in the
most forcible; mauner. Many Repub
licans were convinced by the facts he
presented. Tho Radical lenders were
uwe-strickeu at the demonstration made
to-day.
Tlio Democracy of Jackson county
aro all alive and will give a glorious
account in Ootobor and Novomber.

IVo hear, says tho Albany Argus, en-
conrnging accounts fron tlie Keystone
.State. ‘ Ttje following will give tlie
•render shnfe b|eiV of the direction of
the current there:
Hx-Governor.William F. Johnson,
of Allughnny county, formerly a Rad
ical of:tile strongest kind, has come
out strongly for Seymour.and Blair.—
lie made a Democratic speech in Pitts
burg a few nights since.
Tho PittBhufg Dost says it hits the
names - of oiglity-two Republicans of
that city who hnve joined Seymour anti
Blair clubs, nnd will voto tlie entire
Democratic ticket at tho next election.
Tim Erie Observer says : General
W..H. Irwin, a gentleman familiarly
known to many of our citizens, 1ms ta
ken tlie stump for Seymour and Blair
in the lower counties of tho State.—
He supported Lincoln in 1864 ; but
having been connected with General
Hancock’s administration in New-Ur-
lenns, lie had nn opportunity of learn
ing the practical workings of Radical
reconstruction, nnd is now one of its
most determined enemies.
Uubeit S. Morrison, Esq., a young
nnd briilinnt lawyer, son Of the ex-May
or of Alleghany city, Pennsylvania
made a stirring speech tlio othor day,
renouncing Radicalism, and giving in
his adhesion to tlie Democratic party.
The Loyal Lengtio of Philadelphia
have expelled eigl.ty-two of their mem
bers for non-paSneht of dues. They
liavo united with Seymour and Blair
organizations.
Colonel \V. B; Thomas, of Philadel
phia, Collector of tlio Port under Pres
ident Lincoln, lias renounced Radical
ism, and supports Seymour and Blair
Mn Win. K. King, n very intelligent
cilizeii of Bedford, Pennsylvania; wlio
was a member of the Republican par
ly from its foundation, and who vot-
ed for Fromont, and twice for Lincoln,
has deylareil himself in favor of Sey
mour and Ulnir.
Seymqur Confident.—The Now
York correspondent of tlio Mobile
Register writes: “Gentlemen in cor
respondence with Gov. Seymour say lie
has'the utmost confidence iu the siie-
tVhloli liavo agltitod tlio country for a
number ofyears, have beon determin
ed by tlie arbitrament of tho sword,
aud us practical questions, liavo passed
from public attention. At tiiu olbso or
tho late war, tho poopto of Godrgia, iu
uoramon with the people of other States
composing the tU facto dovoritirioht,
known as the Confederate States of
Amorlua, acquiesced In tile unavoida
ble eonsequuncus of the strngglc.—
And while belioviiig It to be the right
of thu Stato to return to tho American
Union, upon terms of equality With
other Hiomborsof that Union, and with'
the privileges and immunities ofitll its
citizens unimpaired and protected un
der the mglsof tbu Constitution of (he
United Status, the ponjile of the State
acquiesced in a plan of Recniistrito-
tlon, thought to be necessary, and pro*
set. bed by tho President of the'United
States, although' that plan imposed
pains and penalties upon nnthy of tlie
best citizens of tho State, which were
regarded as unjust and oppressive, yet
the State did not assume it to bq bur
prerogative to question tho authority
of tho President to net in tlie premises,
much less to offer any opposition to
his proposed plnn. Passively yielding
to the Executive authority of tho Uni
ted States, the people of Georgia pro
ceeded to organize n State Govern
ment, in harmony, with, and in oliedi-
eucu to, tlie terms of tlie President’s
plan of reconstruction—scrupulously
complying with every condition of that
plan, including the ratification of,the
emancipation of their slaves, by sol
emn enactment, the repudiation of the
lugul liabilities of tile State, aud tho
recognition of tho validity of tlie pub
lic debt of the United States.
In nil honest effort to accommodate
Itself 8o tho new order of things, re
sulting from tlie war, and to make its
government productive of tlie great
est attainable good to all. the people
of tho State, including the three hun
dred thousand persons, who had.been
liberated from slavery, and to whom
their, former dwnors entertained .reel
ings of kindness, and whom they hold
in nowise responsible for their altered
condition, the Legislature of the State
conferred upon porsons of color civil
rights, by an not nppr'oyed March 11th,
1866, a section of which wo beg leave
to quote: “That 'persons of color shall
have tho right to make and enforce
contracts, to sue and be sued; to he
pnrtiesand give evidence; to purchase,
lease, bold, ana convey real and per
sonal property, and to have full and
equal benefit of nil laws and proceed
ings, for the security of person uud
estate, and shall not be subjected to
any olhorordifferent punishment, puin
or penalty, fur the commission of any
act, or offense than snob as are pre
scribed for white pursons committing
like ads or offenses.”
It.will ho remembered that this lib
eral legislation was in advance of tlio
passage of tlie Civil Rights .bill, by
tho Congress of tile United States,
which in lauguage singularly coinci
dent, with that above quoted, confer
red upon freedmeu the same rights mid
privileges. It is further true, that tlio
Congress of tlio United Stales, for
nearly two years, took no action tend
ing to overthrow tlio Stato Govern
ment, organized and established iiniler
the auspices of tlie President. Yet
Oongresss. for reasons satisfactory to
itself, enacted, over tlio protest of tlie
President, what are known as tlie Re
construction acts, prescribing other
and diHuruut terms for the restoration
of certain Southern Slates, including
Georgia, to tho Union ; denying tlie
nutliority of tlie President to lake such
action iu tlie premises as he had taken,
and setting at naught all that had been
done by our people under tlie former
plan. We refrain from any discussion
of file relative merits of these two
plans of reconstruction, or as to their
conformity with the organic law of the
land.
Our people watched with passive,
but deep interest, tlie struggle of two
co-ordinate departments of tlio Feder
al government, over their respective
politics of restoring our State to prop
er federal relations, and tlie successful
efforts of each contending department
to secure the eo-opuration of the third
departinentof the Federal government,
in the enforcement of tlie one or tlie
other of those politics. It was a Strug-
gle in which our people could take nn
part, though it Involved their most vi
tal interests. As tlie result, our State
was subjected to a sccoud reconstruc
tion, in which new conditions and dif
ferent cxuclions were imposed. As in
the former insluuce, it was not in tlie
power of the State effectively to ques
tion, much less to resist the action of
a department of the Federal govern
ment. This second reconstruction wus
administered by thy,,mailed hand of

are inon in mlr midst, who basely nnd
falsely assert, that it Is the purpose of
a majority of tlio white 1 peopio of tlie

We deprecate tlio fact, that there
aro men among us,'Who persistently

upon their imagination- for material

that any portion of obr people en

In conclusion, we would state, that
wo see no reason to apprehend that the
State Government, under the present
Constitution, in its legitimate rtlipra
tion, as directed luiil-ailiniiiistercd by
the several departments, ns now con
stituted, will he more restrictive tii'the
rights of any class of our citizens, than
Is alisii'utely neeussary to harmonize it
with, and conform it to tlie require

the United States; and we trust, thn
Stato Government will adhere to, nnd
make effective, tlie first section in tlio
declaration of Fundamental Principles,
embraced iu our Constitution—“ pro
tection of person and property, is the
paramount duty of government and
shall bu impartial and complete."

New YorkiPress on the Maine Elec
tion.
The Herald says a political earth
quake swept oven Maine .yesterday.
The 'fillies says tint Maiqp.election
shows the people lmvo miido tip tlioir
minds to elect Grant and Colfax, and
is important ns indicating the drill of
popular sentiment. [We don't believe
a word of your proplieoy, Mr. Tillies.]
The 'lribt.ne considers tlie Maine
election as a commencement of the ti
dal move of honuBly wliieli will sweep
over tlie country.- [True, old “ White-
Coat," lint the “tidal move of hones
ty.” judging from the greatly decrcus
ed radical majority in that State, is
democratic /]
Tlie World says tlie Republican ma
jority is a reduced one, end congratu
lates the Democrats oi Mtiinu on the
sturdy light they made.
The Still-says the Democracy have
met serious reverses in Mnihe;' nnd
considers teat, the Influence on the
coming elections will bo great. [Tlio
Suu has made a miscount—the " re
verses” fool up the other w y ]
The Express says nobody expected
Maine to go otherwise than it did, lint
if the Democrats gain ns heavily else
where, suverul States muy bu counted
sure for the latter.
Tho I'ost considers tlio election ns
complete a triumph for the Republican
parly ns ever before attained. 1 [l’os-
sibly, but we can’t see it that way 1]
