®tu £azettt. Friday Jtorui l ijj........Xoveiuber 17, IMtJ. A PORTEXTOrN HOl'R. Col. A. K. McClure, editor of the Franklin Repository , has been making apilgrimagetotho Negrophilist's Mecca and has had an hour's interview with the successor of the Abolition Mahom et. That hour's talk between Johnson and McClure, if correctly reported by the latter, gives awful portent of a com ing hegira of the faithful from the of fices at Washington. For the informa tion of our readers, we quote from Mc- Clure'slettertothe Franklin Repository, of last week: '•However reticent he (Johnson) may be on some issues, he seems to have 110 reserve as to the pol icy he conceives to be the true one to bring back the insurgent states. He discussed the position of those states and their people with great interest and occasional warmth, and with a frankness that left no doubt as to his purpose. lie holds that they were never out of the Union ; that secession, however accomplished as a fact, connot be accom plished in law ; that the supreme authority of the government in those states was not overthrown by rebel'"""* l" abeyance and. of course it logically follows his premises, that since Die ie bellion has ceased, the States icsnoie their prop er place in the Union and restoration is accom plished." Now, mark you, this is just what the men who control the so-called "Repub lican" party mostemphatically deny.— They aver that the "insurgent states" did go out of the Union and were eon queredas foreign communities and must now be governed as subjugated pro vinces. Such is the theory announced by Thaddeus Stevens and entertained by nearly all the "Republican" leaders in Pennsylvania. Such, too, will be the view of a large portion, if not of a majority, of the "Republican" mem bers of the next Congress. Here, then, is a great dividing principle and either the President, or the 'Republican' lead ers, must basely and ignominiously sur render, one to the other, or there must be a division between them, organized, on both sides, with a determination to be successful. We quote again: "I shall not soon forget the emphasis with which he declared that the South must come back and be a part of us and 'it must come,' he added, '-with all its manhood—l don't want it to come eviscera ted of its manhood.' " •■The President is clearly adverse to confiscation and that question is practically settled. What ever might be the views of Congress, confiscation is not possible with an Executive determinedly hostile to it ami with the pardoning power in his hands." What say those magnanimous spirits who, at the late election voted for con fiscation, and for the general humilia tion of the Southern people, to these positions of the President ? What says that wonderfully warlike extermina tor of rebels, Gen. John Cessna, (who advocated confiscation so loudly during the late campaign) to these views of the man he professes to support? Will these fellows cling to the doctrine they preached hut a month ago, or will they trim their sails to suit the steering of Andrew Johnson? We shall see. But, turn we to McClure, once more: "I believe that the President will wield all his power to effect the admission of the representatives of the rebellious States into Congress during the next session. The Senate being organized, the question cannot come up there until it is brought up i J order, but there will be a strong pressure to force tho admission ef the Southern members, by placing their names on the roll when the House meets. This Mr. McPherson will not do, and on all votes of instructions, he will call only those who are returned from States clearly entitled to repre sentation. The law forbids him to do otherwise, and he will be faithful to it. [Honest McPherson 11 The question of their admission will then agitate the House, and 1 fear, make a sad breach between the President and Congress "The President will wield nil his 1 low er to effect the admission of the repre sentatives of the rebellious States into Congress, during the next session." — Can this be possible? Can it be that the President, who is exclusively the prop erty of the "Republican" party, will be such a mar-plot as to overturn the darling scheme of that party to keep those representatives out of Congress? Does not Andrew Johnson know that if he succeeds in his effort to "effect the admission" of the Southern represen tatives, he will destroy the "Republi can" party? And knowing this, ought he not to be ashamed thus to insist up on the restoration of the Union, at the peril of the political organization which claims him as its chattel? Just think of it! Horror of horrors! "A sail breach between the President and Congress!" How many bright hopes of men born for the special adornment of the guber natorial chair, the Senatorial seat, or the Congressional hall, will be dashed to the ground ! How many McClurcs and Ketehums and Cessnas will be nip ped in the bud of their usefulness to the state! How many hungry "Republi cans" will lie barred out from the public crib and how dull and tedious will be the columns of the sensation journals,) without a daily account of robliories of the Treasury and frauds upon the Gov ernment! Oh! Andy Johnson, for Shoddy's sake, never let it come to this! Yield up your restoration policy! Go in for confiscation ! Help Congress to shut its doors in the face of the South ern representatives! Eviscerate the South of its manhood! Nay, give us continued disunion, rather than the destruction of the Republican party! "Takeany shaj** but that!" But we fear the President has been l>eguiled •by the "copperheads," for McClure tells us, "It would be fcoluh to disguise the fact that the President, both by word and deed, disclaims the position of a partisan Executive, and that he is not insensible to the flattering approval of hia xtlmin- IstraUQ" hv the Democratic n.. t y, I do not mean pathy against them; and he will, I feel warranted in saying, adhere to the political fortunes of th e Southern States, without regard to political cv.r sequenees." A portentous hour, truly, for the fu tureof the' Republican' party, was that spent by Col. McClure in conversation with the President. Deeply as yve com miserate our political adversaries upon the gloomy prospect that is before them, if our appeal to the President iu their behalf, should prove in vaiu, we will cheerfully accept the issue. What else can wc do? Surely the "loyal men of the country" would not ask us to op pose theadministration at Washington! Therefore, if so be that Andrew John son will stubbornly refuse toyieldtoour entreaties, as above expressed, and will persist in demanding of Congress ad mission for the Southern representatives we will very likely support him, even if his policy should be the death of the '' Republican" party. HOW IT WORKS. They have just been having a negro insurrection in Jamaica. The British government, mpved by the saipe false philanthropy which built up a section al party in this country and overturned the civil institutions of fifteen states, abolished the system of negro slavery which once was in vogue in that island. The result has been, idleness, crime and misery as to the emancipated blacks, and corresponding injury, distress and ruin as to the whites. The experiment of the social and political equality of the Caucasian and the African, has been fully tried in Jamaica, and the inevita ble result is a war of races. The ne groes have risen against the whites and have committed the most horrible mas sacres. This uprising is not a rebel lion against the British government; if in an effort to destroy the white inhabitants of Jamaica. It is not an attempt at revolution, conducted on civilized prin ciples, but a bloody butchery worthy only of the darkest regions of barbarous Dahomey, or the farthest wilds of black est Ethiopia. But it is only the out cropping of the eternal principle im planted by the Creator himself, in the very nature of his creature man. It is the great divine law, written by the finger of God, upon the face, the form, the color, and upon every distinguish ing feature of the representatives of the different races, re-asserting itself, in spite of the puffed-up wisdom of hu man philosophy. The races were ere- i ated distinct and separate for great and wise purposes, and political fanaticism, even though it urge its purposes under the garb of philanthropy, cannot thwart the will of the Almighty. Let this solemn truth give pause to every man who dreams of that Utopia in which all races, kindreds, tribes and tongues, shall be socially and politically equal. Let the news from Jamaica, showing us at the same glimpse, the irreconcila ble diversity of nature between the Caucasian and the African, and the cer tainty that the latter, as the inferior race, must go to the wall, teach all who would do good to both races in this country, to beware how they trample under foot the plain and irreversible de cree of the Creator. THERE is a delightful scrub-race, just now, between the various aspirants for the Abolition nomination for (Gover nor. In this county the contest is be tween Cessnaand Jordan, butif Jordan stays on the track he will be shameful ly beaten. His party are completely disgusted with the airs he assumes and intend to teach hini a little good taste by flattening out his pretensions. This is truly gratifying to the Democrats. They want to see the man who vilified and abused them for years, defeated by a man whom they raised up to be the leader of the "Republican" party in this county! Only think of it! Fr. Jordan discarded by the party for which he did all the dirty work for years, to make way for arenegade Democrat, the best part of whose life was spent in un doing what Jordan did! Isn't it glo rious ! Francis had better take our ad vice, which is that he withdraw from the lists at once. No matter if he does wear shoulder-straps, in this ease "dis cretion is the bettor part of valor." PRESIDENT JOHNSON does not want, he says, "the South to come back eviscerated of its manhood." Some of the Southern Conventions do not relish the idea of repudiating the debt, con tracted by their states, or of ratifying the Abolition amendment. But Pres ident Johnson tells them they must do those things before they can be fully restored to their former relations with the Federal Government. So, if they want to l>e "restored," they must swal low those Presidential doses. It strikes us that if those pills are not strong e nough physic to'eviscerate themoftheir manhood,' theirentraiis must lie made of iron. HON. JACOB COLEAMER, U. S. Sen ator from Vermont, died a few days ago. Hewasan able practical statesman and the body of which he was so long EXETFTIttS OF ( APT. WERZE. On Friday last, at half past ten o'- clock in the forenoon, Capt. Henry Werze, late commander of the Ander sonville prison, was launched into e ternity, having been condemned to death by a "military commission." He died, protesting his innocence, and let it be recorded of this unhappy, friend less fellow creature, that he died like a man. The South has now given a "scape-goat for its sins." Would it not be well for some of our Northern ad vocates of justice and the conditions of civilized life, to have a "military com mission" try the scoundrels who burn ed churches, stripped women, and rob bed and murdered non-combatants in theSouth? (vide Dr. Bachman'sletter). We append the following account of the final scene, in the execution of Werze: After the reading of the order was finished, he stood up with remarkable calmness, and a placid expression of countenance. Major Russell asked him wheather he had anything to say before the drop fell. He replied very unconcernedly: "1 have nothing to*say to the public, and to you, Major, 1 will say J die in nocent. I have but once to die, and my hope is in the future." Major Russell then asked him if he i forgave him for the part he took in the matter. He answered: "I do: I know,as an officer, you have to act according to orders." The reverend gentlemen continued their words of consolation as the noose was put around his neck by the hang man. He maintained the most stolid indif ference, and smiled as the black cap was drawn over his head, and main tained the erect posture without flinch ing a moment, nntil the fatal signal was given, andthedrop fell. The whole affair was very brief, and passed off more promptly than any of the many previous executions here. Mr. Sehade says he was called upon by several persons last night, as was also Father Boyle, who communicated information, purporting to come from a member of the Cabinet, to the effect that if they would acknowledge that Jeff. Davis was connected with the a trocitiesat Andersonville, his sentence should he commuted. Although Mr. Sehade did not place full confidence in these reports, he considered his duty to relate them to the prisoner, at his last conference with him. Capt. Werze, in reply, said, "Mr. Sehade, you know I have always told you that 1 do not know anything about Jefferson Davis. HP had no connection with me as to what was done at Andersonville, and if I knew he had I would not become a traitor against him or anybody else to save my life." The following letter was written by Werze before mounting the gallows: OLD CAPITOL PKIHOX, Nov. 10. '65. Mr. Sehade, Dear Sir:—lt is no doubt the last time that I address myself to you. What I have said to you often and often, I repeat, accept my thanks ft >r all you have done for me. May God reward you, I cannot. Still I have some thing more to ask of you, and lam confident you will not refuseto receive Hiy (it/in/y rtajUC^i. Please help my poor family. My , dear wife and children. War, cruel war, has swept everything from me, and to-day my wife and children are Iteggars. My life is demanded as an atonement, and I am willing to give it, and I hope after a while 1 will be judg ed differently from what I am now. If any one ought to come to the relief of my family it is the people of the South, for whosejsakes I have sacrificed all. 1 know you will excuse me for troubling you again. Farewell, clear sir; may God bless you. Yours, thankfully, H. WERZE. A CONGRATULATORY MEETING Of the mixed spirits which compose the present opposition to the Democracy, is called for next Tuesday evening, at the Court House. What these fellows have to congratulate themselves upon, we don't know. They said Negro Suffrage wasn't an issue in the late canvass.— They refused to endorse President John son's policy in its entirety and recom mended confiscation, which the Presi dent opposes. Are their rejoicings to be over the defeat of President John son's policy and the "rebuke" they ad ministered to his anti-confiscation no tions? Mayhap they mean to glorify over the frauds lately committed by their party in Philadelphia, or, perhaps, what is more likely, they intend to jol lify over the prospective wiping-out of that old hack of theirs, Col. Francis Jor dan, whose aspirations for gubernatori al honors, are about to have the breath knocked out of them by that great pa triot and blood-stained hero of the late war, Gen. John Cessna! But, noius rer rons. THE State elections held last week, are "considerably mixed" in result. The Democrats lost New Jersey, the | only Northern state held by them dur -1 ing the war, their candidate for Gov i ernor being beaten about 2,500 votes, j To balance this, the Abolitionists lost Louisiana, a state under their control i ever since the capture of New Orleans; Democratic majority too large to be counted. New York went for the John son ticket nominated by the Weed men, by 25,000, the Democratic Johnson tick et not having quite so much "shoddy" in it. But, then, Wisconsin defeated Negro Suffrage and the Abolition ma jority of 20,000 last year, is cut down to about 5,000. In Maryland about one fourth of the vote of the state was cast, the Registry law excluding two thirds of the voters. Baltimore city cast 5,- 000 votes out of a voting population of 30,000. Of course, under such circum stances, Abolitionism triumphed. The Democrats carried New Haven, Conn., j Detroit, Mich., and Milwaukee, Wis-1 Tin; The Fulton Democf, of last week, makes some excel lei suggestions in I ' regard to the proper ode of organist- ' ing, for the next campaign. We are glad to find the orgi of the gallant, Democracy of Fultonso fully alive to j the necessity of a though drill of the j party forces. liot jedford and her J daughter Fulton trii&heir lamps and j keep them burning, no matter what j may he the course of he "foolish vir-j gins." We quote a art of the \ crafs suggestions: But without furthi descanting upon the importance of stress to the Demo cratic party next yir, we would, at present, simply rune the following suggestions: Let uj this winter, or ganize a Democratic ub in every town ship. Let the clubfeet every week— not always necessity, in the same plaee, but in variouparts of the town ship, so that all mabe accommodated. Whenever possibleet the best speak ers the county can ford, be procured to address the club put, as it will be impossible thatspeaers should be pres ent every night, ineu thereof, let the speeches of distingifhed men that will from time totimeppear in the news papers, or be districted by Congress men, or the KtatlGmniittee, be read. By adoptingsoe such course as this, good, wholesoiin Democratic doctrine will be dissemiited into every nook and corner of thcountry; many will lie aroused froi that ill-boding in difference that suns to have possessed the masses; a pasant and profitable winter will be psed; and we will have the satisfaction if knowing that we have done our aty. Our party will then be united ad aroused for the can vass that will bopened out early next season.—lf theother counties of the .State do likewit, as we trust they will, a spirit of such nvincible power will he evoked, that . ecannot but triumph.

Get Thomas H. Benton, Jr., the lowa oldier's candidate for Governor, at be late election, in a speech deliverd before the election, j after describingthe capture of a rebel j battery at the little of Jenkins' Fer ! ry, Arkansas, h* his own men, said: ! i "What was he indignation of my j men when they saw in the printed let i tersof these correspondents a glowing | account of the bravery of the colored I troops in storming this battery, and ignoring the very existence of my reg | iment, who really captured it, by not 1 even mentioning its presence there. But this indiglation was still further increased when, by some one's orders, these very guns were sent up to St. Louis and exhibited there at a soldier's fair, with eertiin battle-flags, as tro phies of the brivery of certain colored troops, who were said to have stormed i and taken then at the battle of Jenk- ins' Ferry, whtn in fact there were no battle-flags there, and the whole work of taking the funs was done by my own regiment which was not even mentioned." IT is now said that the Federal Ar my numbers I SP, ooo men, of all arms. What is the meaning of this immense standing army ? The forces hostile to the government laid down their arms six months ago, and we are ostensibly at peace with the whole world. It seems as though the Chicago platform, in asserting our four years of war to have been a failure, is not so far wrong after all; for, it is acknowledged by our political opponents that the Union has not been restored, and the very fact that a standing army of 180,000 men is required to keep the peace, itself proves that the war, though successful in brea king the military power of the South, has failed to settle the troubles of the country. Thus is the Democratic doc trine verified. GEN. FRANK BLAIR EXCLUDED AS A VOTER. —Recently there was a local election in St. Louis (M 0.,) when "Frank Blair refused to take theelec tor's oath prescribed by the new State Constitution, in consequence of which his vote was rejected. He would take an oath of allegiance or oath of loyalty, but the constitutional oath he would not take. He has brought suit against the Judges of Election for $lO,OOO dam ages for rejecting his vote, with the view, lie says, of testing the matter for the courts." Thus it will be seen that one of the most gallant generals under Sherman, who did the great successful fighting of the war, cannot vote because of the wretched test oath in Missouri!
