Send in youi names. Every man who take* an interest ill the political affairs of the country, should trke a newspaper. Let every Democrat constitute himself e committee to obtain subscribers for the Campaign Gazette. The prospects of the Democ racy are flattering, and it only remain* for them to work to make their triumph overwhelming. The dissemination of political truth, is one of the most i-ficient means for the accomplishment of Demo cratic success. To this end, therefore, let every Dsmcrrat bend his exertions. The whole people Rave momentous interests at stake. The issue, fihall tie havi a mongrel government and become a mixed race, is being pushed upon os by New Eng land agitators ana already there are leading "Repub licans" in our midst who take the affirmative of this question. We must meet this issue and we must triumph. Rally, then, for the White Man's Gov ernment 1 The Enemies of Peace. The war is over. The effort to establish j a Southern Confederacy has failed. The people of the South, with a unanimity that is most creditable to their character, express j themselves willing to return to their alle- i gianco to the Constitution. But, though ! inen erv "Peace! r "Peace!" there is no peace. In the South newspapers are sup pressed for making the most trivial criti cisms upon the conduct of federal officers; Mayors of cities are removed for sending a vagrant negro to the lock-up: elect iqps are declared null and void, because those elect ed to office once tcere (though they are not now) rebels; and, finally, Union men like Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, are in carcerated in dungeons for the expression of their :>o!iti'.'a] opinions. >h, Freedom, thy lovely form has van is lied from our midst! and 'Reason, thou art fled to brutish beasts!* Russian serfdom is ihe doom of men born the heirs of liberty, and the Juggernaut car c.fa worse than Austrian despotism, crush es cut the life from the noble, the brave and good among the American people. The spirit of the time when John Adams* Alien and Sedition Laws were enacted, lias re turned, but more intense, implacable and savage than when it fell in battle with the immortal Jefferson. The party which is jojw in power is the same 1 hat rose and fell with John Adams. It was then the enemy of the publL peace and of Republican liber fv, ag it ie now the fcmcnter of discord and bitterness in the North, the agitator and re viver f the dying feuds between the sec tions, and tlm tyrant that strikes down free dom of conscience and freedom of speech, •be dearest rights inherent in man. Is this not true? Ave, it is the God's truth. Who can deny it ? Who haa the hardihood to say that the people are 11 ow free and restrained only by laws of their own making? For four years we have published this journal nd maintained our political integrity, at the peril of life and property. We have been threatened with mob?, at least a dozen iiGea for the expression of oar opinions, and only last week the blood-hounds were ,u our track, trying to bay up a riot for the deetrccticn cf our office. We tell the good people cf Bedford ocanty, that the errniws of jptaoc are the leading Abolitionists; that vhey wiit tu,t permit the people c the two p&rlie3 to live in harmony; and that if we ; are ever again to come together as Christian neighbors, the schemes and counsels of, these foul-hearted knaves must be Bcouted and rejected. What would you think of .him? Suppose, dear reader, that one who by his conduct had induced you to believe him your , friend, that, BO regarding Lira you took him in to your family circle, formed intimate associa . tiona with him, stood by his side at the table 1 of the Lord, in short, rendered him the fidelity lof a loving heart, and then, suppose that this ' man, without provocation on your part, witb ; out any outward rupture of the friendship be i tween you, would strive to ruin your good I name, to bring your neck into a baiter, in brief) I would nose around in every dark hole and cor ; iter to smell out witnesses to prove you acces j sary tea crime of which he knows you to be j innocent, what would you think of him? Is there any woriFin all the vocabulary of infer nal names, that is not too mild to Ire applied to a iiend incarnate such as this? Yet you need not go outside of Bedfmd borough to find the man who fills this description, ami the first person yon meet who winces at sight of this ; picture ii that man. Mark him well and be j ware of him! How About tlie Mock Case? | It was ull right with the liedford Inquirer i and the bloody minded dogs that feed upon the I garbage contained in its columns, when Fred ! erick C. Mock, a quiet and peaceable citizen of ,of St. Clair tp., was shot down in cold blood, jby a party of Abolitionists. The men indicted ; for murder in that case, were permitted to go jat large on hail and the Inquirer did not say a ! word when the Sheriff did not put them in ■ irons. Hadn't the murderers of Frederick C. ; iMock better be looked after a little more par- I ticiilarly? Don't Put it off. Hundreds of ''Republicans" agree with Dem ocrats, that npgro suffrage wouid be dangerous to the propriety of the Republic: but they put otf their opposition to it to "a more convenient season." If they are honest in op posing the political equalization of the races, they cannot consistently adhere Hny longer to the Abolition organization. Although the party with which they have hitherto acted, may not venture to endorse negro suffrage in its platforms, it leader* are nearly all in favor of it and openly advocate it. Therefore, if they should be successful at the polls, they will claim that the ptople have decided in fa vor of giving the negro the right to vote and will renew their pressure upon the President to compel him to take ground in favor of this new political heresy. Hence, we say, if yon would preserve the White Man's government, begin the work now. If you wait till the Ab ' olition party have fully shown their hand, you will have waited till the game is lost, or won. Don't put off your warfare against tins iniqui tous scheme. "What thou doest, do quickly!" t*The result of the Tennessee and Ken i tucky elections seems to be in a fog Bayonet rule, however, does not seem to have been en tirely successful. Reconstruction. A Beautiful Way to Restore the Era of ; Good Feeling—A Paper Suppressed Without til# Slightest Warrant. We regret to see as we do from the off rial! orders taken from the Macon Telegraph, which j we publish below, that indiscretion on the part i of the Journal "In twelve of the slave States, embracing | eight hundred and eighty-six counties, there is i in two hundred and forty-four of them an ex j cess of negro population! ! "Alabama contains fifty-two counties, in twenty of which there is an excess of negro j population. •'Arkansas has fifty-five counties, with an ex \ cess of negro population in six. ' "Florida has twenty-one counties with an e*- : cess of negro population in six. "Georgia has one hundred and thirty-two j counties, with an excess of negro population in j forty-three. "Louisiana has forty-eight counties, with an i . excess of negro population in thirty-three. "Maryland has twenty-two counties, with ; an excess of negro population in five. "Mississippi has sixty counties, with an ex- i cess of negro population in thirty-one. I "North Carolina has eighty-seven counties, with an excess of negro population in twenty. "Tennessee has seventy-live counties, with 1 ail excess of negro population in three. "Texas has one hundred and fifty-one coun ; tics, with an excess of negro population in i thirteen. ' "Virginia has one hundred and forty coun ; ties, with an excess of negro population in for | ty~four. "This would give the negroes a majority in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and South , Carolina. In these three States they could e ■ lect negroes enough to control the Legislatures, | ami elect six negroes to li e I'nited States Sen i ate. and three or four times that number of Representatives to Congress. In all the South ern States they could send negroes to the Sta|,e Legislatures, and in ;wo hundred and forty four counties control the local officers.' We are to have the Virginia and South Car olina of Cutfee and Sambo, instead ol the ir cinia of Washington and Jefferson, and the South Carolina of Sumter and Marion. The element of African barbarism is to be incor porated into our political system, and we are i to sir.k down into the condition of the degener ate countries of South America, where they have tried, to its fullest extent, this fusion of the races. This is the programme the white peo ple of the North are invited to sanction and ap j prove at the ballot. More than it Seems. The people of this country should not de ceive themselves. Negro Suffrage as proposed by New England Abolitionism means more than the simple fact of conferring the right to I vote upon the ebony fraternity. It means to place thern with you on the jury, beside you at the table, along with you in bed—to make them your father-in-law, your brother-in-law, your son-in-law, your uncle, your aunt, your niece, your nephew —your equal in everything and your superior in patriotism, blackness and scent. It dont mean to stop when you have marched up to the polls beside a big black con go arid deposited your ballot, but yon must take him to your home, have your wife wait upon him, let him kiss your sister, stay with your daughter—marry her if he wants to, and raise any amount of tan-colored grand children. Negro suffrage is but a means of enforcing the detestable doctrine of miscegenation. In it is covered up all the hideousnessof amalgamation. It is loaded with the foetid breath of mongrel ism, and carries with it the putridity that will blot from earth the white race of this continent. Whuie is the man that has any respect for hirn sell—for his fumi'y or his country, that can favor such an infamous doctrine? Yet there is a party —a party that controls the legislation of the country—a party that sprung from the witch burning—quaker hanging—blue light puritans of New England, that is now seeking to implant it in the public mind. Where it is strong enough to have no fear of defeat—in such states as Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and lowa, it ie made a plank in their political platform. Here in Pennsylvania, where their hope of carrying the State has al most died out, it is only hinted at—vaguely approached in order to feel, and not startle the public mind. The nogro suffrage plank in their 1 platform in this state, will be covered up with a verbosity that will render it capable of a don en different constructions, yet it will neverthe less mean "negro suffrage"—and amalgamation with all their horrid results. And if the white men of the State are in favor of those, they will i vote the abolition ticket at the next election.— i BtlUfonU Watchman. Letter from Gen. McGlellan. The anniversary of our National Independence wag duly celebrated at Geneva by the Ameri can travelers among the Alps- Among the let ters from invited guests was the following, which was received with the greatest interest: HOTEL BIRON, LAKE GENEVA, ) TUESDAT, July 4, 1865. J MI DEAR SIR—I have received your very polite invitation, on bebalf of the citisens of the United States of America, who are in Ge neva, to Mrs. McCleilan and myself to join them at dinner to-day. I regret that it will not be in our power to do ourselves the pleasure of meeting with you ,in the oelebration of this most interesting an givers*;? of the aoit sacred day is the Amer ican calendar. Although I cannot meet you in person, I hope that you will permit me to erf press the intense joy and pride with which, in common with all Americans, I look upon the recent glorious successes of our gallant urinies under Grant and Sherman. As these victories have finally crushed the armed opposition to the General Government, and have brought back the whole of the nation al domain under the folds of our flag, I trust that this anniversary of the nation's birthday will be the opening of a new era in our history I —when brotherly love will once again prevail between the people of the once contending sec tions— when all the causes of the late war shall have disappeared—when the idea of secession shall be regarded as a thing entirely of the past —never again to be revived, and during which wo shall become a stronger, more united and more prosperous nation than ever before. I most sincerely unite with you in the teel ings of sorrow and indignation which have been so universally expressed for the cowardly mur der which deprived the country of its Chief Magistrate, and in the desire to afford the most loyal support to his successor. I trust, too, tlmt you will unite with me in the hope that, since we have completely vindicated our nation al strength and military honor by the entire de feat and ruin of our laie enemies, our people i w ill pursue a magnanimous and merciful course ' towards n fallen foe——one that will tend to sot j ten the hitter feeling inevitably caused by a long | and earnest war, and to restore the confidence ! and kind feeling that should exist between those who owe allegiance to the same government and belong to the same people. Hogging that you will convey to the commit tee, and to the gentlemen they represent, my sincere thanks for their very courteous invita tion, | am, my dear sir, very truly and respect fully vours. GEO. B. MCCLELLAN . The Conspirators. Incidents of the Trip to the Tortugas— | —What they say as to their Sentence—' --Spangler Protests his Jnnocence. The Washington Star has some interesting! particulars of the trip of the United States steamer Florida, Lieut. Commander lludd, > which conveyed Dr. Mudd, Spangler, O'Laugh- j lin ind Arnold to the Dry Tortugas. They ; wt J in charge of Gen. Dudd, and to Surgeon Potter was assigned the medical care. Accom panying the prisoners were Captain Duttor., of 1 the Veteran Reserve Corps, with a guard of 28 men. Colonel Turner, Assistant Judge Ad- j voeate General, was also a passenger, and went out to examine into the mode of keeping and J treating prisoners.at the Dry Tortugas. The Star's account, after stating that the prisoners, when they left Washington, and until after their arrival at Fortress Monroe, were entire- j ly ignorant of their destination, proceeds as j follows: The prisoners were allowed to he together at times during the trip, and they frequently en gaged in a game of draughts , during the day, bu.t at night they were place 1 in separate state-rooms, closely guarded. The weather during the whole nip was plan sent, and but one on board (Mudd) was sea-*iek, and he on the first day at sea only. Tboy were consider ably depressed in spirits soon after starting, and when informed of their destination by General Dodd", after leaving Port Royal on the 21st, they became quite gloomy, but on reaching tlie Tortugas, and finding it an island of about tliir- j teen acres, enjoying a line sea breese and com paratively healthy, they expressed themselves us agreeably surprised, and became more buoy- ' aut in spirits. On landing and seeing conifor- ; tatye quarters inside the fort, and a clump of ; cocoanut trees and other vegetation growing, , and noticing the other prisoners confined there i in good spirits, they soon became quite cheerful ! There are about 550 prisoners confined at the Dry Tortugas at this time, who are well | treated, and seemingly enjoy life as well as they 1 could in confinement anywhere. At present i lucre are but nine persons on the sick list, a fact which speaks well for the treatment of the ; the prisoners. The 110 th New York Volun | tcers, Col. Hamilton, has been on duty here for I the past sixteen months. The Florida reached the Tortugas {about G<> j miles from Key West) at noon on the 25tn of ; July, and Gen. Dodd, with his charge, immed- j iately landed. Sam. Arnold was immediately > j assigned to a desk as clerk in the engineer de j partment, he being familiar with such work.— j Spongier at once noticed workmen shingling j 1 some of the buildings, and expressing a wish ! to take a hand in his own business, was per mitted to resume the hatchet and Saw. Dr. S. | A. Mud! arrived just in the nick of time, the j i surgeon of the post, who has been there for j ! six years past, stating that ho wished an assis-j j tant. Dr. Mudd was notified that he would j in future be expected to follow the practice of | medicine among the prisoners. O'Laughhn had i not. when the Florida left, on the morning of j the 26th, had his work allotted to him but ; would no doubt be assigned some suitable oceu- j pation On the trip Dr. Mudd acknowledged to Cap- j tain Budd, General Dodd and others, that he j knew Booth when he came to his house, with Ilarold, ou the morning after the assassination, ' j but that he was afraid to tell of his having been J there, fearing the life of himself and family would be endangered thereby. He knew that Booth would never be taken alive. He also acknowledged that he had been acquainted with Booth for some time, and that be was with Booth at the National Hotel on the evening re ferred to by Weichman ; that be met Booth in the street, and Booth said he wanted him (Mudd) to introduce him to John Surratt; that they started up 7th street, on their way to Mrs. Surratt's houso, and on their way they met John Surratt nnd Weichman, and returned to Booth's room at the National, where he and John Surratt had some conversation of a pri vate character. He said that the military com mission in his case had done theii duty, and, a6 far as they were concerned, the sentence in bis j case was just; but some of the witnesses had sworn falsely and maliciously. [Quert. How then could the sentence have been just O'Laugblin acknowledged that the court had done its duty, and said that he was in the plot to capture the President, but that after the in effectual attempt in March, when the party hoped to have captured the coach containing " the President, be thought that the entire pro f ject was given up, and it was, as far as he was conceroed. He denies positively that he bad i any part or knowledge in the plot to assassinate the President, General Grant or any one else Satn- Arnold made about the same statement as be did before the trial—that he was in the plot to capture, but not to assassinate; that bad failed, nnd be considered himself out of it, and never knew anything about the assassination, j which, he thought, was gotten up by Booth only a few hours before executii git He j 1 thought the court could not have done other- ( wise than it did. He expressed his sorrow that he had been led into the plot to capture by t Booth and others, und expressed him-elf thank ful that the punishment was no worse. , ►Spangler talked considerably during the trip, but, like the others, was despondent at times, in the uncertainty about their place of destina tion. While on the voyage he express.' I some impatience at his own stupidity in not having recollected, while on trial, a circumstance in connection with Booth's escape from the stage, ; that would have told materially to his (Spang- i ler's) advantage. Some of the testimony went j to show that Spangler had slammed the door to after Booth's exit, in away to hinder ira- I mediate pursuit. Spangler say* it quite eseap- | ed his recollection that some time previous to the assassination a patent spring had been put on the door for the purpose of closing it wheti . left carelessly open. He says however, that he 1 supposed the court had done right, and if they gave him plenty of work and plenty to eat lie ; was satisfied ; although he was not guilty, and j knew nothing of Booth's intentions H • says i that he did say to Booth *'l will do all I cm* j | for you;'' but that it wo* in reference to a-II- i ; ing his (Booth's) horse a-.d buggy, and that it ; j was thfee days before the assassination. He j says that some of the witnesses lied in their : 1 testimony, especially about his slapping any j one in the mouth and telling him to itecp Ins j mouth shut. i FSo it seems that the prisoners, although con i victed 011 false testimony, acknowledge thejus ; tice of their sentences. 1 hat story can b ' told the marines, but old sailors can t swallow it.J The Animus of the Late War. Almost every reader retains a remembrance of the Helper Book, which was issued in 1850 j under the auspices of the Abolition party. It was a most incendiary affair, a mixture of fact 1 and fiction skillfully garbled and compiled, and j ?o colored as to enlist sympathy for the color- | id race in the North and to irritate and einbit- I ter the people of the South against the Aboli tionists, who were justly considered the impla- j cable enemies of the Southerners and their in- j stilulions The Valley Sentinel lias taken the ! trouble to gather from that book the following j leadin" and abominable sentiments. First "Th it it is a solemn duty to abolish j slavery in the South, or die in the attempt." (Page *27.) Second —"That no man Can be a true patri ot without first becoming an abolitionist" (Page 119.) Third—"That against slaveholders as a body we wage exterminating war." (Page P2O ) Fourth —"That the present is the time to try the strength of arms, and that now is the time to strike." (Page 121-2.) Fifth —"That slaveholders must emancipate the ncroes, or we will emancipate them for you." (Page 109 ) Sixth —"That slaveholders are nuisances, and that it is our imperative duty to abate nai ces. We ; repose, therefore, to abolish slavery, than which rtrvchnin itseif is less a nuisance." (Page 133.) Seventh —"That slaveholders are more cruel than common murderers." (Page 140 ) FigPtl,—"That all slaveholders are under the shield of a perpetual license to murder." (Page 141 ) Ninth —"That, if the negroes had a chance they would be delighted to cut their master's throats." (Page 1+8) Tenth —"That we are wedded to one pur pose, from which no earthly power can ever divorce us. We are determined to abolish sla very at all hazards." (Page 510 ) Eleventh —"That there is scarcely a spark of honor or magnanimity among slaveholders." (Page 151.) Twelfth —"That now is the appropriate time to strike for freedom in the South." (Page 153.) j The Helper book, f rom which • hose atrocious : sentiments are gathered, was endorsed by the j whole Abolition party, and, in addition, receiv- i ed the approving signatures of sixty-eight Re publican members of Congress. Under such i circumstances is it wonderful that the South ern States should desire to go out of the Un ion—away from fellowship with a people and their legislators who declared them to be ' nui sances, more cruel than murderers" and against whom it was necessary to "wage an extermina ting war?" When it was declared that "the present is the time to try the strength of arms and that now is the time to strike," was it like ly or possible that the Southern people would patiently wait to be struck and exterminated by the Abolition party and their Congressional Republican upholders and endorsers? In these extracts the whole animus of the late war are clearly portrayed. Every decla ration therein contained has been most faith fully adhered to by tne Abolitionists and their Republican allies. At the very outset of the war—the "war for the Union," as self-deceived patriots persisted in calling it—it was declared that the war was "for the negro and his race," "to destroy slavery forever," to exterminate the aristocracy of slavery," &c., and every measure and policy thereafter was steadfastly bent to tbiit purpose and none other. The Abolition- Republican party fought the South for no other purpose t! an to overturn slavery and to destroy the Democratic party. They refused to com | promise or make peace on any other conditions than the abandonment of slavery, and so con tinued to drag our Northern eons, husbands, brothers and fathers to the slaughter-pens, and to plunge tho people hopelessly in debt. Hut the South, much to Abolition regret, a bandoned the contest before the slaveholders were all exterminated. Nothing now will sat isfy the endorsers of the Helper book but the disfranchisement, banishment and execution of ail who favored or assisted in the attempt to secede, and the immediate enfranchisement of the blacks. These Northern incendiaries and double-dyed traitors will be satisfied with noth ing short of the complete extermination of the 'ate slaveholders, the destruction of popular 'democracy, North and South, and the concen tration of all the reserved rights of the States in a consolidated, centralized government, under the control of Abolitionism and maintained en tirely and forever in tbe hands of their own par ty leaders. We have never defended or justified bnman i slavery, but we candidly believe that all our d i tional and many of oar individual woes are 1 clearly traceable to tbe deleterious acts and teachings of tbe endorsers of the Helper book. We believe, too, that years will be required to recover for the people that prosperity which has ' been lost to them through the usurpations of those men.
