"Down with the accursed institu
tion!" "Away with the 'relic of bar
barism!'" "The curse and sin of Slav
ery must be removed!" Such was the
chorus of the yelping hounds unken
neled from the infidel pulpits of New
England, until civil war abolished the
institution of Southern Slavery. Oh!
how they whined about humanity,
how they prated about philanthropy, j
how they preached anti-slavery Chris- I
tianity! The poor oppressed Negro;
the overseer's l&sh, the auctioneer's ham
mer, the blood-hounds' bay; these :
were their texts, the burden of their
songs, the subjects of their prayers or
the objects of their maledictions. How
the gullible noodles who pinned their j
faith to the skirts of these pious phil
anthropists, shrank from the very men
tion of the name of slavery ! How the
men groaned as thev listened to there- !
cital of Sambo's wrongs! How the wo
men wept as tney heard the story ol
Dinah's saie upon the auction-block!
Oil! it was pitiful, it was sad beyond
expression, it was horrible above all
that could be conceived of crime, that
the poor Negro, 'a man and a brother,'
should be doomed to pine in the chains
of Southern Slavery. The Rev. Mr.
Fitz told his congregation so from time
to time. The Rev. Mr. Fitz said so in
the annual meeting of the Boston An
ti-Slavery Society. The Rev. Mr. Fitz
repeated it in a hundred stump speech
es delivered in the disguise of lectures.
So slavery was abolished, the Freed
men's Bureau was erected, and the
great christian philanthropist, the Rev.
Mr. Fitz, was made a Superintendent
of the Freedmen in the State of North
Carolina. Hail, glorious Freedom! No
more hard work for poor old Ned! No
more lash lor lazy young Bill! No
more auction-block for lovely Dinah!
No more bloodhound for swamp-fox
Sam! Every thing goes "merry a.-, a
marriage bell." But by and by, Pres
ident Johnson, meddlesome man,sends
two fellows with star* on their should
ers, Steedmanand Fullerton by name,
to inquire into the condition of Bro.
Fitz' portion of the Negro vineyard.
Alas and alack! not a frmlman did
Steeduian and Fullerton find within
the bounds of Fitz' jurisdiction—not a
-ingle freed man, but lot.- of slates! Ne
groes hung up by the wrists; negroes
shut up in prison whilst their wives
and children were dying from small
pox; negroes compelled to burry their
children in the cradles, in which they
died; and to cap the climax negro chil
dren, inoffensive little picaninnies,
thrown into dungeons for playing in
the streets on the Sabbath! And all
this by order of the distinguished a
postle of the new dispensation of Afri
can liberty, the great New England
humanitarian, the Rev. Mr. Fitz. But
what boots it to multiply words? We
can oniy ask the negrophilists which
system of slavery they prefer, that
which was lately abolished by the Itev.

THE HERO OFTHF. HARI'ERSi FERRY
SPITTOON RF.PI UI.VTED!
The Soldier* (Ml Stand Xeyro Suffrage !
A few days ago the soldiers of York
! county met in convention, nearly three
hundred in number, and passed resolu
tions in favor of Clymerand the White
Man's party. Thesoldiers of Cumber
land followed and elected five delegates
to the Geary Pittsburg Convention, but
instructed them to vote for Clymer, by
a vote of 132 to 21. Cumberland is
Geary's adopted county and his repu
diation by the soldiers of his own
home, is a blow that will tell upon his
prospects all over the State. And now,
to make matters still worse for the he
ro who captured the Harper's Ferry
spittoon, the soldiers of Perry County,
tuo hundred and fifty-sir in number,
with Major Robinson, Capt. D. L. Tress
ler, Capt. B. F. Miller and other dis
tinguished officers at their head, have
formed themselves into a "Clymer
Club," declaring that they cannot sup
port Geary because he belongs to the
Negro Suffrage party, led by Thaddeus
Stevens and other Disunionists. The
following, among other resolutions,
was adopted by the Perry county boys:
Rusolred, That as white soldiers we
cannot support any party which favors
negro suffrage and negro equality—that
refuses to admit new territories while
the word white remains in the declara
tion of qualification of voters—which
sympathizes with negro interests in
preference to the cause of the poor of
our own color—which wastes all its time
in providing for the freed men and can
not be induced to equalize our bounties;
and believing that John W.Geary, the
Radical candidate for Governor, i- a
follower of Thud. Steven.-, and i- fully
committed to the cause of the Disun
ionists in Congress, and is the enemy
of the conciliatory polity of the Presi
dent, we cannot and will not support
him at the poll-. We call upon our
fellow soldiers everywhere to remem
ber that the party that Geary is a can
didate of,has repeatedly declared in
Congress, through it- p:v-- and on the
stump, that the war could not have
been ended but for the bravery and a—
-istanceof the blacks, giving to the ne
gro the credit which alone was merited
by our white soldier-.
EVERY township should have a club
of twenty or thirty copies of the "Cam
paign Climber" circulated among its
people. Will not some of our friends.;
take contributions for the "Climber"
at the coming Delegate Elections?
THE SLAVERY OF THE FBCKJWEXA,
ItIHEAI.
Where is Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe? The country needs another;
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." To be sure,
Leg roe Is dead; (he was hung by the
Confederates as a spy ; Topsy, too, has
been taught by a Yankee "school
inarm" to know where she came from
and she doesn't "spect" any more that i
she growed;" and I "note Tom's de- i
scendants are free to starve, or to die j
by any other process. But then the
Rev. Mr. Fitz, Superintendent of the
Frecdmen's Bureau, has taken the place
of I.egreeand Topsy's saddle-colored !
offspring iCapt. , Agent of the
Bureau, knows best how that "growed)"
iaquiteasgood a subject for Mrs. Stowe's
pathosas her maternal ancestor; whilst
Uncle Ned, hung up by the wrists by
; order of the aforesaid Rev. Mr. Fitz,
! answered just as good a purpose as did
his much lamented cousin, Uncle Tom.
We would call the special attention of
Mrs. Stowe and the writers for the!
New England Magazines, to this fine
field of romance opened up by the phi
lanthropy of the Freedmen's Bureau.
! A dozen of novels founded on facts,
might be worked up from the report of
Gens. Steed man and Fullerton. For
j instance the following extract from
that report, might be made the ha.-is of
a second Uncle Tom's < abin:

DEATH OF JE.Y. WI\FIELD SCOTT.
The sudden demise of Lieut. Gen.
j Scott, has cast a gloom over the country
i which will not soon be dissipated,
i Gen. Scott's name is deeply interwoven
j with the history of the country and is
dear to every man, woman and child
who loves American Liberty. He has
lived to a good old age, and is gathered
to .his father* in the ripene® of his
timil Place d) adbeß!
TW O PHI'jr.VY PHEUOWH.
The Patriot A Union says that Cly
mer is already at the top round of the!
ladder of popularity and asks us what
more there is to "climb?" The Hol-j
lidaysburg/Standardthinks this is a po
ser. We might with the same propri- j
ety ask, what use is therein having any j
more Patriots , or any more Unions, or j
any more Standards, since every body .
considers himself a patriot, a I T nion man
and a standard citizen. But, seriously
speaking, we fear our friends of the
Patriot A Union and the Standard will
tind, as usual, quite as much Abolition
ism to "climb" in Blair and Dauphin j
counties as will be agreeable to their :
taste. Sharpen your claws, boys!
SERIOUS apprehension (says an ex-i
change) of a general European war has
been created by the announcement, re
cently made by Louis Napoleon, that
he detests the treaties of 1815. This
declaration is supposed to imply, in
connection with various significant oc
currences, his intention to encourage
the outbreak between Prussia and Aus
tria, and while Vtetor Emmanuel is
striving to gain the Quadrilateral) to
extend the frontiers of France to the
Rhine. The Empire is at this moment
believed to typify war, not peace.—
Some writers allege that a few months
hence Europe will resound with the
tread of a million of men under arms.
BE CAREFUL! The Disunionists in
this county always base their hopes of
a reduced Democratic majority, upon
dissatisfaction engendered by the Dem
ocratic county nominations. We know
that there is not a man who is an
nounced as a candidate before the
coining Democratic County Convention
who would willingly minister to the
gratification of tne wishes of our polit
ical opponent. But ungarded words
and too zealous partisanship, frequent
ly result in heart-burnings and personal
estrangement Be on your guard,
friends! If you are to be nominated
you should be able to unite the party
in your support, and to do this thor
oughly and with the proper spirit, you
must treat your follow candidates fairly,
kindly and generously.
GEARY has been asked by the Phil
adelphia Daity Sews to repudiate the
platform adopted by the Disunion State
Convention which nominated him.
That platform endorses Congress, and,
in so doing, sustains the efforts of that
body to force Negro Suffrage upon the
District of Columbia. But the hero of
Harper's Kerry, is mute,and continues
to upon the Congress-N'egrO
Suffrage platform. Therefore, the lxidy
.Veics aiid a number of other "Republi
can" papers in the State, refi;-e to sup
port him. Geary must repudiate Ne
gro Suffrage, or lie will tie beaten at
least OO,MU).
KVERV third"Republican" you meet
prpf< to be opposed to Negro Suf
frage. So far so good. Now, who is the
representative of the Negro Suffrage
party in Pennsylvania? Who will he
supported by Thtlddeus Stevens. Win.
1). Keiiey, John M. Broomall and the
balance of the Negro Suffrage Con
gressmen, for Governor of Pennsylva
nia? The answer is, without the
shadow of a doubt, John W. Geary.
How, then, tan those '"Republicans"
who are opjiosed to Negro Suffrage,
vote for Geary for Governor?
We have been asked who.her "The
Climber" will bo. a reprint of the GA
ZETTE. We answer, not wholly so. It
will contain much original matter, and
will be illux'rafeil with '"Jfx and rtngrw
ings which alone will be worth more
than the subscription price.
WE call tiie attention of the reader
to tlie President's nmssage vetoing the
bill for the admission of Colorado as a
state of the Union. The message will
be found on our outside. It proves con
clusively that Colorado is not at pres
ent entitled to admission.
Br;toi ßE any 'Republican' who claims
to voteintelligenlly, rnak sup his mind
to east hi.- ballot for John W. Geary,
we ask him to read and consider t.:e
resolutions of the Fayette county sol
diers commanded by Geary in the Mex
ican War. Those resolutions will he
found on our first page.
MOKE TREASON.— The New Lisbon
(O.i Jinckeyt State, a Republican paper,
closing an article on the political situ
ation, says: 'Oh, that the hand of Booth
had been paralyzed, and the heart of
Abzerot more firm." Abzerot was the
man who was charged with intending
to kill Johnson.
A SEVERE PARODY.— In a recent ad
dress to the"uuterritied," at Tamma
ny Hall, Captain itynders, referring in
his neeuliar and sarcastic manner to the
Disunion party, said its motto was from
Pope, and was:
"Honor and shume from no condition rise,
Steal all you can, ther* all the profit lies.
MODERN" patriotism is a queer thing.

country, H. Greeley, said as recently as
i860: "Ail nations have their supeiVti

LATER.
NEW YORK, June I.—The Herald
contains the following account:
BUFFALO, June 2—*7 ?• M- —An eye
witness of the engagement near Bridge
way says the Fenians were one thous
and strong, under O'Neill, and had
reached a small village about ten
miles from Waterloo Ferry when their
scouts announced the approach of a
large force of Canadian volunteer-.
The Fenian- tore down a fence and
went into an adjoining field and form
: ed in line of battle, Geli. O'Neill being
! assisted by Colonels Starr and O'Brien
: in making a disposition of the troops.
The volunteers .Advanced upon the Fe
nians, and the action commenced, the
skirmishers on cither side exchanging
a brisk aire. Th ornier was then given
for the Fenian skirmishers to fall back
to the main body. Both parties fired
several rounds when the Fenians ad
vanced on the double quick with fixed
bayonet-, but as the Canadians were
pressed in an on-hard on either side of
a swamp, ami were separated from the
Fenians by a thick bru.-hwood, G'Xeil
deemed a charge useless and gave the
order to halt and fall hack. The Cana
dian.- believing this a retreat advanced
from their shelter on a run, but wen
met by the Fenians with a counter
charge and were instantly routed, the
Fenians pursuing them for two miles
when '' M ill ordered a halt. The ( an
- adian- were completely demoralized
and continued their flight to Port Col
borne. The Fenians lost (> killed and
15 wounded, and theCaiiadian-21 killed

with fixed bayonets when the volun
teers broke and ran in every direction,
I throwing away hats, belts, cartridge
boxes, ETC. At 1 P. M.the "field of Wa
terloo" was in possession <>f the Fe
nians. Col. Dennis is said to be wound
i ed. Two Fenians were killed, and the
British had five orsix wounded. Rein
forcements for the Fenians have cross
ed at Frenchman's Creek. The opera
tor at Port Coiborne reports a large
bodv of Fenians crossing into Canada.
LATEST.
THE F.NI> OF THE FORT ERIE AFFAIR
BUFFALO, June B.—The Fenians e
vacualed Fort Erie last night, and most
of them attempted to reach this shore
but only a small number succeeded.—
About seven hundred were gobbled up
by the United States boats guarding the
river, and are now prisoners under the
guns of the United States steamer
Michigan at Black Itook. Th© Cana
dian ftntiß, undor Cbkteft Peal tick, arts
now in possession of Fort Erie with- j
out a skirmish. The ultimate disposi-;
tion of the prisoners is uncertain, hut |
the British Minister has been telegraph-1
ed to.
Colonel O'Neill and staff are captured.
The only Fenians captured by the Eng
lish appear to be thirty-two pickets,
who were left by their friends in the
hurry. By order of General lfcyry all
communication is forbidden with the
Canada shore. It is reported that a
small Fenian force left this neighbor
hood last night, destination unknown.
Those that attempted to reinforce their
friends at Fort Erie were prevented by
the United States picket boats. We
have conversed with some escaped Fe
nians, and they say, having no artillery,
and they positively assert they have
had none, and finding the Canadians
had Armstrong guns and were closing
around them, with no prospect of rein
forcementandnosupplies, they conclud
ed not to be gobbled up, so they "ske
dadled" as best they could.
The men were completely worn out,
having fought two battles (though the
Fort Erie affair they regard as only a
skirmish), and have had nothing to
eat and no sleep.

PUBLIC SPIRIT IN ITALY.— Private I
letters from Italy describe in glowing.
terms of admiration, and not without j
surprise, the unanimous, concentrated, ;
anrl profound enthusiasm of the whole
Italian nation—an enthusiasm too deep 1
for idle show, hut rather expressing it
self by calm and resolute self-sacrifice, |
at the near prospect of the final battles j
for national independence. "War,"
we read in one letter which has been j
placed in our hands, "is now for us a ,
certainty—peace an impossibility. It :
is a question of lifeor death for the dy
nasty and for thecountry. 1 f you could
only see what life,what movement,
what energy, the settled purpose to
have done once for all, with the ruin
ous uncertainty and precarious incom
pleteness of the present condition of
the country inspires. Every man and
every woman seems to say, "Italy ex
pects all her children todo their duty."
In another letter from a Florentine geft
tleman to a friend in England we read:
"Ah, my dear friend, if you could see
Italy now—how beautiful inspirit, how
full of life she is. There are but two
i ways before us—war against the Austri
an, oracivil war; independence or rev
olution. How I wish those countrymen
of yours who cry out against us could
see' us as we are. No more parties;
no more factions; hut one single heart
•andsoul and strength. alike for
! war. All ready to make sacrifice to
j the last penny; nay, to the last child.
; I am not speaking the language of ex-
J eitement, but the simple truth. From
! the poorest peasant to the richest noble
! in the land there is the same will; the
same obedience toduty. All are ready
ito serve in the ranks. To see fathers
land mothers accompanying their sons
to t/ie offices of enrollment might move
the heart of a lionrsicr." —London Dai
ly Xeics.
NKGKO SUFFRAGE. —The Radical
Disunionists have now boldly declared
in favor of negro suffrage. They voted
in the House directly in favor of forc
ing this measure upon the people of the
Territories, without consulting their
wishes at all on the matter. They have
made up the issue at last, and the peo
ple know exactly where they stand.
The Radieal-disunionists, witn Geary
at their head, are in favor of negroes
voting and crowding around the polls
with white men ; the Democrats, with
('lymer at their head, are opposed to
negro suffrage, and believe that this
government was instituted for the white
race. This is the issue in the pending
eanva-s.— Genius of Liberty.
THE Hon. Reverdy Johnson, in a
letter to Mr. Slogan, one of the mem
bers of the House of Representatives
from Missouri, confirms the statement
of the latter in regard to the decision
of the Supreme Court on the question
of the "test oath." Mr. Johnson states
that a majority of the Judges of the
Supreme Court decided that the oath
was unconstitutional, and that the rea
son alleged for not making this decis
ion public at once was mainly owing to
the fact that the Judge select* d to de
liver the opinion had not time before
the close of the term to prepare such a
one as the importance and gravity of
the question required. Mr. Johnson
adds that he has no doubt that the o
piuion will lie delivered at the next
term of the Court.
G EN. STON EM A X says, in hi* report
of the Memphis riot*: "Very few Con
federates were mixed up with the riot
ers, the larger portion being registered
voters." Scarcely a person in Tennes
see can be a registered voter unless he
is "loyal" and i- a supporter of old
llnwnlow and his rascally "legisla
ture." Four-fifths of the bona tide vo
ters have been disfranchised bv the
lirownlow Disunionists, for their con
nection with the Confederacy. It ap
pears from Stonenian's report, there
fore. that it was the "Southern Union
ists r of the Brownlow stripe who pre
vented the darkies from again "hear
ing off the palm." This takes much of
the "pressure" off the "reconstructed
rebels."
Two hundred and thirty-live (235)
honorably discharged soldiers of York

risburg Telegraph discovers that////<< n

that the citizens of York were oblivi
ous to these facts until so informed by
the Geary Telegraph. Evidently to

—By the latest reports from New
York Quarantine it appears that since
the transmission of previous accounts
there have been received into the chol

fourteen deaths—making an aggregate
of persons now under treatment of sev

The Lynchburg Virginian says: "We
Understand that there are a great many

negroes in this city and neighborhood.
We even learn that they are forming

—.V boy, seven years of age, while
rummaging in a bureau drawer, at Al

discharged the contents of the same in

five hours afterwards.
—A grist-mill at Middleton, New

death around the land" by infusing
lead, with which crevices in the mill
stones were tilled, into the flour and
