For Cougreas, from Si.rth District, MOSES i ) I'NN.

It is admitted on all hands that Grant's ndministrnf ion is a failure. It has failed to bo as extra vugant as Jolin.soH'ti, as Tierce's, and us obstinate as Jackson's. But it can't be denied that the President smokes cigars. He has saved the country a hundred millions of money, but lie continues, to puff! Let the Democracy make :i note of this horrible iaet. It is about the only consolation tl.ev have got.

Voorhees professed in his speech to be a well-wisher of the colored man, and in favor of him having his "rights." As he was bitterly opposed to the Emancipation Froelama"tion, and the throe last amendments ts the Constitution, it is clear that the only rights he is in favor of the colored man having are those he had before the rebellion viz: the right to be bought and sold and held as a slave. If he (Voorhees) is sincere in his present declaration, he is compelled to repudia-e his speeches and opposition to those amendments, without which the colored man would have no rights. If he still holds to the correctness of those

speeches and that action, his present profession is false and hypocritical,

and he is in real ty in favor of the return of the coloied man to slavery ! The logic is inexorable and inevitable. e s Voorhees has been repeating his speech in the Firt District, and has thad the audacity to reiterate the statement that ":aot one dollar of the public debt had been paid since Grant came into power." In doing this, says the Express, Voorhees is simply guilty of saying tehut he knows to be false. And the asinine character of the act is the more conspicuous from the fact that every intelligent man who hears him knows that he is listening to a lie. We again publish evidence from official sources that proves Dan's

statement to be a mean and wicked fabrication. Here are the figures : Public debt decrease for July $17,034,123 74 Public" debt deciease since March, 1S70 69,004,001 17 Public debt decrease during Grant's Administration .. 156,138,784 01 Average montl.ly decrease for 18G 7,201,231 90 Average monthly decrease for 1870 13,800,823 70 The one of the recent Amendments to the National Constitution that seems to give the "tall Sycamore" the most unhappiness, is the abrogation of that part of the State Constitution which prohibits negroes coming into the State. His waitings over it were long, load and pitiable to behold. The State was to be overrun with tb.3 black "vermin," and the result would be that in the competition white labor would be debased, and depreciated in value to a point that would bring ruin and starvation to the poor white man ! Dan. might have hoped to make somebody believe such clap trap four years ago, when, by the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, his darling State black laws were made null. Ent he earns only

the contempt of every person of

common information by suchcroakings now. It it a notorious fact that the immigration of blacks into this State during those four years has not affected the demand for, or price of labor in the slightest, and with the continually increasing demand for the rnore congenial labor of the South there isn't the slightest probability ihat the future increase of blacks in the States North of the Ohio will be as rapid as heretofore. And Dan knows it, as well as anybody, but cannot resist the temptation to lie about it if a vote for his party is likely to be made thereby.

Voorhees made the statement here, and seems to hava been in the habit of making it, that the National debt had not been diminished during tinpast year. A more bare-faced and unpardonable falsehood could hardly be conceived, and the man guilty of it, for the purpose of deceiving the masses, deserves the execration and

contempt of every one who holds honor or honesty in any cstejm.

'Ext ravagnn cc." The Democrats of Men roe oourity arc beating the busho9 in every di

rection, sitting on the top rails of

fences, and following men as they work in their fields,in a determined effort to change enough votes to carry Monroe county at the approaching election. Their principal hobby is "extravagance." Let us see if Republican counties are as extravagant as counties controlled bv Democrats. Here are six Demoeratic counties and si s Republican counties, that lie all around us convenient to those who may wish to investigate the matter for themselves :

In Prussia, while the men are at war, the women perforin field and farm labor, and arc gathering the crops, guarding the flocka and doing field work. For manyyears women have been employed in Prussia as station agents and signal officers on the r .il roads: and, if necessity re

quired, women, no doubt, could act

as conductors on the trains. Great as has been the drain on the male population, a still greater one conld be incurred without interfering with the usual pursuits to anything like the extent would be the casein most ot her countries.

The Political Situation. Over all this -vast country general prosperity reigns. Every hamlet, village and city gives evidence of growth. Countless new buildings are everywhere rising, and farm improvements go on ceaselessly, in connection with all the other gt eat developments in the material interests of the people at large. A vast aggregate crop is the revaid

ot this yea.-s' industry. Business of

all kinds has been free from speculation, and though comparatively slow, has been safe. If, on one hand,fortunes have not been rapidly jnade, on the othsr they have not been speedily last. Prices of crops have risen high enough to give a fair margin to the producer, so that labor has generally received its just reward, and the promise for the future is all favorable to a sound, healthy growth of the country, and reasonable expansion of all of its great leading interests.

A lloi't iblc Death. The Mexico (M o.) Le dffer says : "One day last, week, a most horrible accident occurred some ten or twelve miles south of this city, which terminated in the death of a highly respectable young man named Greer.

e give the particulars substantially as we received them from a source that we deem reliable. Mr. Greer, it seems was cm top of an oats stack, whether engaged in stacking or for what purpose we did not learn. He had a small well-seasoned hickory pole, sharpened at both ends, which was intended to be run clown in the center of the stack, to prevent the top from beiig blown off by the wind. He accidently let this pole fall, one end of which stuck in the ground, the other cad pointing upward and leaning against the stack. From some cause which we failed to learn, he slipjM.'d down from the stack precisely where the pole was standing, the upper pari of which entered his groin. He clung to the stack and gave the alarm, but the only person

withu hearing was a woman, who came promptly to his assistance, but being unable to relieve him from

his terrible situation, she ran off

and called for help. When the help arrived, the unfortunate man, it seemed, had become exhausted in his hold upon the stack, and the polo had passed upward through his bowels and chest, coming out at the top of his shoulder, from which it protruded more thai a foot. "It was more than two hours before medical aid could be had, during which time the young man was horribly impaled on the pole. He lingered, we understand, several hours after the pole was extracted, before death came to his relief. "We learn that Mr, Greer was a worthy and industrious young man,

at the New York Medical Univer

much human misery. The treat

Specimens of cancers thus carbonized were inspected by a number of physicians present, which had the appearance oi;' charcoal, and were easily pulveri2ed between the fingers.

A considerable number of ctaneers have been cured by this means, and an agent of such marvelous efficacy must ere long be adopted by the entire profession. New York Commercial Advertiser.

The above table shows the amounts levied for county purposes alone, and from which it will be seen that while the average levy in Democratic counties is $1.22 on the hundred dollars, the average for Republican counties for the same purpose, is but 82 cents ; aud yet the Democrats of Monroe county, who in 1865, piled a debt of 83,000 on the tax payers by one transaction, and at one sitting, are endeavoring to get into power by crying cut "extravagance." It is the old story

There is one "gem" in the political record of Voorhees that should never hi omitted when hi3 friends attempt to sum up their jowels. We allude to that celebrated speech which is believed to have haci great influence in inciting Booth to the mnrder of Abraham Lincoln. On that ocesaion he said; "Iftiieevil hour must come, if patiiotisrn is fio be humiliated, if the schemes of the seditious; citizens are to triumph,aiid civil strife andcom motion are to cumber this fair land, then may some

Brutis (.Booth) avenge the cause of

liberty is the capital; and may the authors of our ruin be the fibst TO SUP t'ULL OF IT3 HORRORS ! !"

It is proper to occasionally remind the public that Voorhees, who spends so much of his time howling about thu "enormity of paying gold interest on the bonds," was one of the meu whose votes fastened that policy on the government in oppo

sition to the votes of a majority of

lvepubacan Congressmen. "Democratic economy," so far ns this Statu is concerned, in splendidly illustrated in the fact tint the average tax, lor purely local purposes, in the Democratic counties;, is $1.20cn the$100,while a Repub

While the affair! at Saarbruck, appears in the reports and dispatches as the battle of "Saarbruck," "Forbach," and "Spichen Hills." One who does
