WASHINGTON, D. Oct. 14, '93i I am in receipt of a letter from one of the most reliable public men in your State, a resident all his life of has just returned from-New York, where he was called for consultation in the politcal outlook. Intensely Republican in his convictions, his conservative sagacity bar served to carry many a forlorn hope in your State, for the benefit of his party, and whenever he has solicited public favor, in his own behalf, he has never yet been defeated and it has frequently happened that both parties gave him a unanimous vote. I merely mention these facts to show the kind of man, from whose letter I propose to quote a few lines, and ominous as they may seem, I still think they will serve to show that what has been taken for apathy among the people, during the present political campaign, waa nothing more than a qniet conclusion on their part to follow the line of their own judgment, independent of the usual methods and influences, recognized heretofore as essential to party success.

But to the particular lines of my correspondent, in reply to my direct question, "what he thought of the political outlook?" he says: "Politically somebody Caught a Four and a Half Pound 3 Black bass fishing at Hutumii has not been as good as many of fishermen expected it would when we take into considers dreds of people who are fishing banks of the Swatara prisiug that any fish remain to bed Yesterday Mr. Jonathan freMe! the Swatara, at Ilummelstown, 1 ceeded in lamling A black basal four and a half pounds.

To me there is nothing so ominous in these lines, nor were they written to convey any such meaning, but rather to show that the people are thoroughly in earnest, and that their verdict in November next would be a stronger endorsement of the Republican party than it ever received. Let us examine the conditions as they now appear, and I apply them to all the States, except those south of the Potomac river, because these States, politically speaking, are as much outside Federal jurisdiction as they were during the rebellion; hence the conditions I propose to briefly discuss, do not apply there, for the simple reason that they would not be allowed to exert any influence.

The Southern people may talk tariff, finance, but there is but one issue among them, viz: "the dread of so-called negro domination," arid under the cover of this specter the Democratic party holds full sway, at the sacrifice of nearly one-third its voting population. It is not neces- for the purpose of this letter, to state anything more than this bold fact, and it seems to me this should be sufficient to influence the judgment of every intelligent voter in the North as to which of the two parties is entitled to his support. I mean this in no sectional sense, bnt offer it only as an argument in tavorof good government, aud as one of the remedies against the usurpation of political power in the South. It' there is any spirit of patriotism left, any sense of fairness, any regard for the sacredness of the ballot, among the people of the North, this oneconditionalone.it seems to me, should make up their judgment as to the right aud wrong side in the campaign. The next condition is the relative declarations of the two parties on the financial question.

Bierman. Music was rendered by the choir. Rev. I. Baltzell next announced that this was the evening devoted to the celebration of the Church Extension Society.

Mr. Wisler, treasnrer of church extension, then gave a statistical report showing the disbursement and reception of money. Thia is at present in a good financial standing, there being at present in the treasury. Bishop Castle commented very favorably on the preceding report and spoke of the necessity of ample church room for the accommodation of its people. Rev.

I. Baltzell gave an able talk on "What has been done and what shall be done for the unoccupied territory." Much has been well applied in the building of houses for the homeless ones. The Church Extension and the Missionary Society go really hand in hand and should give each other mutual assistance. The unoccupied territory should be occupied as soon as possible. Begin with the Sanday school and then work np to the ohnrch.

Rev. J. R. Meredith spoke on the "Proper use of our home mission funds," and made some fitting remarks on the proper appropriation of the money collected and donated for the missionary cause. There are a number of excellent places where there might be churches, yet it is advisable to ao expend the money where it will do the moat good.

The choir next sang an excellent anthem. Rev. E. L. Shuey was called forward to speak of the power and influence of the young people.

There are atill some old folks who think that young people have no work to do in the church. In looking over the history of the past we find that some of the noblest deeds and some of the best counsel have come from young people. So in the church, the young people can and are equally influential as wall as instrumental in the salvation of precious Train the young how to use the word of God in saving souls and bcilding up every -church interest. Good instruction and organization among the young become a power hi the church. We never will know what an influence we may have.

ment. The same pledges of security wheu it supplied the grandest tinaucial system the world ever dreamed of, to meet the demands of the rebellion, and has so marvelously demonstrated its wisdom and success ever since, has been again renewed in its platform and accepted witb such distinguished ability by its candidates. What more should be required of any party and its candidates? Now, then, contrast this with theileclarations of the Democratic party and its candidates. Its platform is a mere bundle of generalities on the whole question, particularly in its promises on silver, and like its action in the House of Representatives, at the last session of Congress, when it had the opportunity of fulfilling some of its pledges, it ran away from it. In its hatred of the National banks, however, it showed its bands by promising to repeal the tax on State banks, so as to allow a restoration of the "old wild-cat" system of other days, and that everybody knows, who is old enough, was about the worst ever devised.

Their candidates, without even the courage to attack or even criticise its danger, swallowed it without the slightest compunction. Is capital prepared, are the friends of our National banks ready, to run any risks with a party, pledged to such a financial heresy? There can be no mistake as to the position of the two parties on this qnestion, so that voters need make no mistake. The tariff cornea next, and this condition is more clearly presented than all the others involved in the contest, he- cause never before have the pledges of both parties been more clearly defined. For the first time, the Democratic party has thrown aside all disguises. There is no more straddling this qnestion; but a plain declaration, without the least that a protective tariff is fraud and without the shadow of justification, either for revenue, or for the benefit of American industry.

This is substantially what the Democratic platform asserts, thus repudiating the doctrine of all parties, from the first administration of Washington down to old Jackson's, wheu the Democratic party commenced evading the qnestion, and wheu the slave States, under the leadership of Calhoan, opened its war of nullification of Federal jurisdiction, and that finally culminated in open rebellion. There is no escaping the issne this time, nor can the most ill-informed voter fail to draw a proper distinction between the two parties, as to the ceuc mortttuff-s. $1.000.

To point ont or discuss the evils of the present Democratic side of this question, aa compared with the benefits of the Republican aide, is unnecessary for your readers, as they have been too long since educated as to the difference. Whatever evasion may be attempted by Democratic writers and orators on the other issues of the campaign, it is not likely any will be attempted on the tariff, excepting perhaps in localities where there are neither free schools nor newspapers representing both sides. The power of Congress to levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises has never been questioned heretofore, and that such power was granted by the Constitution, is equally clear and well- defined, and that the purpose of this right was aa ranch for the protection and encouragement of home industries as for the support of the Government.
