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

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

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-

battle-flags there, and the whole work
of taking the funs was done by my

mentioned."
IT is now said that the Federal Ar

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!

I can say that the President endorses
the statement of Gov. Perry, of South
Carolina, concerning his (the Presi
dent's) views as to the admission of
Southern representatives to Congress.
The President holds that the mass of
them can take part in the organization
of the House, i need not repeat the
usual arguments in this behalf, which
he fully agrees to.
A proclamation may shortly be ex
pected from the President declaring the
insurrection or rebellion in the South is
at an end.
It may be remarked concerning Werze,
that his sentence could not be legally
commuted. It astonishes many clear

Tlie Outbreak in Jamaica.
It seems difficult, from the tenor of
the advices from Jamaica, to ascertain
any justifiable cause for the melancholy
disturbances which have taken place in
that island. There was no apparent
reason for the outbreak; no grievances
to complain of, and the Government a
gainst which it is said that an insurrec
tion exists is that of the people who
have taken uparms. In Jamaica whites
and blacks enjoy equal rights, and the
officers are of both colors. The dispute
commenced in somedifficulties between
sailors belonging to the British Navy
and the local police. The rioters seem,
however, to have taken umbrage a
gainst the police, which has suffered
terribly. As usual, when mobs rule, the
insanity increases with opjiosition, and
the affair takes a different aspect at
the conclusion from what it had in the
beginning, turning its fury againstfresh
objects. FRANKLIN says, "Poor Rich

: now to pay the bond-holders, assessor.-
and collectors for carrying on the civil
war to make the negro your equal— for
j that is what is claimed by the radical
Abolitionists who have been ruling the
country for the last four years. J n 1860,
ten days work of a laboring man at 81
per day, would foot the hill; in is;.">, it
will require twenty days work, at $2
' per day (which very few laboring men
i get) to pay for the same bill of goods.
; In 1860, the fanner could come to town
and pay his bill of goods with twobar-
Irels of flour; in 186."), notwithstanding
| the high price flour commands, it will
take four barrels to pay the same bill,
i The above presents a plain statement
of facts which are brought home to ev
\ cry householder in the community,
j and especially every laboring man who
lias to provide for himself and his fam
ily by bis daily toil and industry, and
this state of things will continue just so
i long as the govennental policy of the
last |few years is continued. If the
■ masses want a change, they will have
; to dispense with the services of their
| present rulers. There is no hope for i
: the country but in a speedy return to j
the old Democratic policy of former !

WASHINGTON, NOV. 12. —.Senator
Sumner, of Massachusetts, acts as if he
were master of the situation. He is
constantly sending on here messages
and directions to men in position as to
what shall be done. Negro suffrage is
in his budget.
The course of some Southern States
in refusing to adopt the President 's pol

constitutional amendment, has greatly
embarrassed him and impaired his in
fluence in relation to the immediate
recognition of Congressmen in theSouth
in time things may get better—much
depends on the South itself.

The fury of the blacks seems to have
reached its culminating point on the
lltli, when a mob of some four or live
hundred of them assembled at Morant
Bay, and supplied themselves by force
with arms and ammunition from the
police station of the town. They at
tacked the court-house, whither the
loeal authorities had betaken thein
selves for safety, and had gathered a
few of the citizens. An assault ensiatl,
which was unsuccessful until the as
sailants fired the building and the in
mates were forced out by the fianics.
They were alll sei/ed by the rioters and
slaughtered and their corpses outraged
in every way that the devilish ingenu
ity of the mob eould devise. Some
were disemboweled; others beheaded;
arms and legs were torn ofF; tongue
and eyes plucked out. In some instan
ces those things were done beforedeiith.
Fourteen wliites are known to have
been killed—among them some of the
most influential ami esteemed residents
of the town, ami twenty-five, inclu
ding" one woman, severely wounded.
The local military force was called out,
and a number of the leaders of the mob
had been caught and tried by court
martial. Over one hundred blacks are
said to have been executed. No fears
were entertained of a fresh outbreak.
The following places had been burn

WASHINGTON, NOV. 9.—1 hear in
several Republican quarters that in ref
erence to the admission of Southern
Congressmen, there are plenty eJtnein
bers elect of the dominant part- who
intend that there shall l>e no summary
action against them. There must be
examination and consideration of the
subject. If need be, there will be, it
is said, an organization of Republican
member- in aid of the President's poli
cy, which may bringnien into the field
for the offices of the Senate, and candi
dates are already mentioned.
Reports as to what Secretary McCui
loch may recommend concerning the
internal revenue law are premature.
The report of the Commissioners ap
pointed in conformity with a resolution
of Congress to examine into the tax
subject, will be awaited with anxious
interest. In high Congressional quar
ters, learned on the subject. I have heard
decided objection made to that feature
of the law which taxes a person who
uses in business a hundred thousand
dollars so as that it yields ten thousand
| profit, double what would he the tax
upon a like sum that would yield five
thousand when invested in securities.
In the same quarter objection is urged
against that feature of the law which
increases the rate percent. It is thought
i that a uniform rate per cent, should be
: fixed and paid upon incomes, whether
j large or small.
The Freedmen's Bureau, by order of
the President, has returned a large

Our daily experience confirms their very superior

plies fur one, who. by entanglement in the shaft of
machinery, had both his legs broken, spine severe
ly injured, and was for nearly a yeur entirely help
less. This man found relief very soon by the ap
plication of a plaster to his spine. He was soon
enabled to work, and now he labors as well asever
He would cheerfully pay $5 for a siDgle plaster if
they could not be had at a lower rate. I am sur
prised that surgeons do not make use of these per
forated plasters, to the exclusion of all others, as
their flexibility and adhesiveness are greatly in lU '-
vance of ail other plasters with which I am ac
quainted; while the perforations peculiar to them
rendered them greatly superior to all others for or

so useful, I have no scruples that my sentiments
should be known. J. YV. JOHNSON. J1 D.
