There are more important questions involved in the gubematorial contest in this State than the “Herdic" and “Calamity” acts; and alihough the Cemocratic press shuis its eyes to tuem, tue people wutrege, itis asserted, belongs alone to the Stat and the eutorcement ot tuo. faimous Afteenth amend ment nounced atrocious and subversive of the federal constitution.

The cy, in failing to have General Rosecrans as tandard bearer, have been somewhat disorganized, but they are now united and firm under the Pendleton flag. The repub- ltcans assert that the lengthy and caustic letter of General Rosecrans, giving his reasons why he could not accept the nomination and instructing the unterrified on some very important points, will be to them worth 10,090 votes, 16 democrats, how: ever, take the beeps goon in a philosophic way, and the more sultry and sulphuric members of the ey, think that the declination was a good thing for the party.

Such phrases as the “infamous lies of the radical,” “a le squciched,” the “lies of Governor Hayes and the various radical sheets” grace the democratic dic- Uonary, While the repubiicans pronounce the “ed- itor of the Crisis as a stupid head whom "twere base Mattery to call en ass,” and “this,’’ they add, “is not sarcasiu.” ‘The record of Pendleton 18 pronounced “d——abie,” and the “copperheads” are reviled wich rivers of gall and bitterness. The quotations from both parties are of the mildest and most soothing style, a3 Wo would not inflict upon the readers of the HERALD the genuine out-and-out classic and model specimens. It is to be regretted that in our political progress and power our public men and public journals will not discuss the grand and sublime question of free government in a manner more calin, dispassionate and forbearing, It would seem that the people of Ohio are in this respect in advance of their public men and partisan journals. Any two farmers or mechanics of opposing politics Will sit down and discuss with more calmness and dignity the great questions at issue than will eny stump speakers and party editors.

NEW PARTY MOVEMENT IN HEVIUCKY. chafter and hold back, any who are disposed to try to us [From the Lexington (Ky.) Observer, September 15.) ‘Tue recent reckiess and foolish attempt to create sympathy in Kentucky for a third party has met” with unanimous and crushing opposition from the democratic press of this State, and in order that our readers may fully appreciate the strength of fee and recognize them. One of these, whicli brings itwelf home to the business and bosoms” of all true Pevnsylvantans, is whether, by tue election of Geary, we shell guard the interests of the State, or, by the election of er, trausfer them to te control of New York, our great rival in trade?

Is it so with Packer? What assurance have we of it? What hag he done to prove ity in the first place he ts nota native of the State. Considered by iteeir we snonid nol make this an objection, But when we reflect that he has vast private interests outside of Penn- syivania, in New York and other States, the [act be- comes of some consequence, and may be fairly re- ferred to. We ail Know that a man’s heart ia where his treasure 19; and it ts eaid by those who pro- yess to “Know whereof they speak’? that Packer’s interest lie more outside than within tue boundaries of the State. We all know that New York manifested a deep interest in his nomination. We know that the notorious Brick Pomeroy was on the ground during the sessions of the convention that nomipated him, and used all the tofluence he could command in his favor; and we know that Pomeroy’s luterest# are identified with the interests of New York, and that he would not favor a candi date Who was knowa, or even supposed to be iniini- ca) totnem.
