With this week begins the tenth year
of our publication of the GAZETTE,
and the second of the firm of .Meyers

public for their patronage and hope to
merit a full share of the same in the fu

nish the GAZETTE at adcu/ux rate
all who will pay by tb;; lAt period we
can t anora to do so. i'o those In ar

of expostulation. You an- required to
pay your arrearages within three
months from this date. After that time
we will be compelled to use the most
sttingent measures to enforce collec

purpose long enough. There is also a
large sum of money due us for estate
printing, for which we have waited
several years. We desire to remind
Administrators, Executors, Ac., that
our terms for such printing, are rash,

We hope that there will be no necessi

THE Rump Congress adjourned on
■Saturday. Honest men, everywhere,
will draw a long breath of relief. The
country will thank God for a deliver
ance greater than that of the Jews from
bondage, or Egypt from vennirt. The
policy of the ruling faction has been
fanatical,tyrannical and revolutionary.
Their legislation has been the mos
reckless, extravagant and dangerou.
ever known in the history of the coun
try. Millions were spent as flippantly
as though money had no value. Tin
appropriations reached more than six
hundred millions,nearly&s much a- any
year during the war. Scarcely a bib
was passed without the negro in it :
and the sums spent to support the vast
national scheme of negro pauperism
were almost fabulous. They passed
the bill to pay liberal bounties to negn
volunteers by the usual party major
ity; hut when the bill for the equuliza
tiou of bounties of white -soldier- raun
up, the increased pay at first proposei
per month] was reduced nearly on
half, and even then it only passed bj
a vote of 51 to 50, every Democrat, ex
cept two, voting in its favor. As a fit
finale of their proliftgatc career, tie \
increased their own pay from $3,000 to
$5,000 per session, making the snug
little sutn of SIO,OOO to every member

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
The National Union Convention which
will meet in Philadelphia, on the 14th
inst., promises to be a true representa
tion of the people of the entire Repub
lic. It will be the first convention ••(im
posed of representatives from all the
States, that has assembled since the
meeting of the Democratic National
Conventipn in 1860. In this respect, as
well as in that of diversity in political
opinion, it will he truly national.
Whilst the "Republican" party will
be largely represented in its councils,
Democrats from every section of the
country will sit bv their side; whilst
the "war men" of the North will take '
part in its deliberations, theStephenses, .
Johnsons and other prominent South
ern men will join hands with them in
furthering the long-hoped-for restore-1
tion of the Union. It is meet that such !
will be thecase. Weremenofonepoliti-•
eal party alone to assemble in such a con
vention, no good could possibly result, j
as there could he no opportunity of
harmonizing diverse interests in be
half of a common cause. We are wil
ling to regard any man as a political
brother, who will work with us for the
attainment of the grand purpose for
which all patriots should strive, (he
maintenance, unbroken, of the I hion of
the Slate.*. Hence, we are glad that in
this National Union Convention, men
of various and widely different politic
al antecedents, will meet and exchange
opinions. The result of the delibera
tions of such an assemblage, will prove
I like that of the Constitutional Conven
tions of the fathers, who, though divi
ded on great public questions, so har
monized their conflicting views, as to
erect a government under whose sway
the march of empire has been unlim
ited, and which, except during its tem
porary perversion by corrupt and am
j bilious men, proved the unfailing safe
] guard of popular liberty for nearly a
; century.
THE RAOM'AI. HF.BELMO\.
The letter of Henry J. Raymond,
"Republican" member of Congress
from New York, exposing the scheme
of the Radicals to dt pose the President
and inaugurate a .rebellion in the
North, has produced much alarm a
mong peace-loving and patriotic peo
ple. Mr. Raymond has been in the
caucuses of the Radicals, and knows
whereof he affirms. He declares that
they mmn war; that they are quietly
arming themselves with a view of
forcing President Johnson from the
Pa-a -Ttnrjof tty' ru 17ft. Northern mem
bers of the next Congress, impeach the
President, and attempt toturn him out
of office. They calculate that the Pres
ident will recognize the members of
Congress elect from the Southern States,
and the Conservative memiK'rs from
the North, (provided these constitute a
majority of Congress) as the lawful
Congress; and they will then -et them
selves up as aii opposition Congress,
andappeal to arms to sustain their au
thority. This, it is alleged, will occur,
if they succeed in electing a majority
of the Northern members. Now, then,
the question arises. Shad the people, (>y
voting for Radical candidates Jor Con
gress, run the risk of another war.' There
can be no doubt as to the fact that the
Radical leaders have determined to in
volvetheeountry ina revolution, rather
than permit the Southern States to be
restored to the Union without Negro
suffrage. Let the people he warned.
Remember that a leading "Republi
can" member of Congress, charges the
Radicals with this scheme of a new re
hellion. It is no idle tale gotten up
f>r the purpose of making political
capital. If Radicalism is successful at
.he coming election, we fear for the
aeace of the country. Again, we say,
oeware!
EX-PBISIDEVT RI CH L\ A\.
The venerable ex-president, James
Buchanan, is at present.staying at Bed
ford Springs. On Saturday last he
paid a visit to ourtoVn, stopping for a
short time at the Mengel House. Mr.
Buchanan looks well and seems to bear
the weight of years without any visi
ble effect upon his constitution. His
numerous friends in this section will
Sedelighted to know that he is again
in their midst, the same true friend ol
he masses, as when in earlier days he
ningled with them in the public af
fairs of the country.
Tin: New York Herald, of July 26,
•ontains a number of sharp things on
;he "job" work done by the present
ongrcss. We take pleasure in trans
ferring these "hits" to our columns,
ind desire our readers to givft credit to
he Ih raid for every line in this issui
.hat has the word "job" in it.
A VERY SEIUOCS JOB.— With a rev
nucof over two hundred millionsa

uternal revenue tax thirty eight rtiil
ions, and raises the compensation oi
nembers to five thousand dollars per
session.
Eqi'AUZATIOX OF BOHSTIES.
The contest in Congress over the bill
to equalize the bounties, was prolonged
from the beginning to the end of the
session. The House passed the bill;
the Senate defeated it; the House in
sisted upon its passage; the Senate per
sisted in its opposition; finally, on the
last day of the session, a committee of
conference of the two houses agreed to
hitch the bill to the Civil Appropria
tion li.-t and to tack it to the tail of the
proposition to increase the pay of
Members and Senators to $5,000. This
plan pulled the bounty bill through by
a majority of one in the House, the
vote standing yeas ql, nays 50. The
Democrats voted for the bill, as they
had always done before, and had it not
been for their almost unanimous sup
port, it would have been lost. More
•Republicans' voted against than for
it. Among those voting against it,
are Messrs. Lawrence, Koontz .and
Wilson, of this State. We have not
seen the hill, as it passed, hut it is re
ported that the amount of bounty orig
inally proposed was considerably re
duced. The vote upon the bill was as

THE Radical leaders here are sending
out documents by the bushel. They
have a complete registry of the voters
of the county, each being marked "Re
publican," "Democrat,"or "Doubtful."
Such Democrats as they imagine they
can wheedle into their views, are mark
ed "Doubtful," and supplied plentiful
ly with electioneering pamphlets filled
with falsehoods of the basest character.
Among these is one entitled, "Is the
fill.-if wltfl - exTracV<
Scrap Rook and Stevens' private let
ter-, with garbled extracts from news
papers and speeches, which, if true, a
mountto nothing, hut most of which
have no existence except in the fanat
ical fancy of the writer. Send out your
tra.-h, gentlemen! Your movements
are watched and your labors will be
fruitless.
THE Timdites of this county who, a
few years ago, engineered Know Noth
ingism, and were ready to cut a for
eigner's throat, seem to have fallen
wonderfully in love, lately, with the
"sweet German accent, and the rich
Irish brogue." How they love th°
foreigners! They have even gone to
the trouble to prepare a pamphlet which
they say is intended to "capture the
Dutch," thus jeering the men they are
trying to cheat. We expect they will
next have a pamphlet which they will
boast is to "capture the Welsh" and
distribute it among the honest miners
of the coal region.
II A HI,AX has resigned the port folio
of the Interior Department, and the
President has appointed <). H. Brown
ing, of Illinois, as his successor. One
by one the radicals drop from the side
of the President, and the Cabinet will
soon lie a unit in favor of the Constitu
tion and the Union. The resignation
of Harlan will put an end to the ship
ping of clerks from Washington for
the purpose of making votes against
the President. Tiie appointments oi
Mr.. Randall, as Postmaster fjeneral,
Mr. Stan berry, as Attorney General,
and Mr. Browning as Secretary of the
Interior, have all been continued by
the Senate.
THE hypocrisy of the Disunion lead
ers was completely unmasked by their
action on the bill to equalize bounties.
They have been tried and found want
ing. All the Democrats except two
supported the measure in every stage
of its progress; but a majority of the
"Republicans" opposed it from first to
iast.
FliOM every quarter we have cheer
ing news of the coming contest in this
county. Many who have heretofore
voted the "Republican" ticket are at
aist disgusted with the extravagance
and miscegenation proclivities of their
.eaders, and openly avow their deter
mination to he led no further on the
road to negro equality and national
bankruptcy.

THE Wiiliamsport I nion Rtpullieua r
edited l>y 1). S. Dunham, and flaunt
ing at its mast-head, the name of John
\V. Geary for Governor, declare- that
Thud Stevens is a Disunionist and in
favor of Congress giving the negroes
the right to vote. The I'nion Jit',publi
can is at present engaged in a contro
versy with the West Branch Bulletin, a
radical paper, and thus speaks of that
journal, and its beau ideal of a states
man, Thad Stevens:
Thaddeus Stevens says: "with my
consent the union never shall be re
stored."
The West Branch BuVelin supports
Thad. in all his acts and sayings. This
paper denounces all such traitorous
sentiments.
Thad. Stevens says: "that eleven
states are out of the union and must
remain out."
The Bulletin repeats and endorses
Thud's sentiments.
The I'nion Republican says no state
can legally secede from the union, con
sequently all the states remain in the
union.
Thad. Stevens is in favor of Congress
I giving all negroes the right of suffrage,
thereby increasing the representation
in Congress from the South, (if those
states should ever be restored) and de
j creasing it in the Xortn.
The Bulletin cries amen to Thad's

This paper says\h. )r
constitutional rlglit 'AsSauwir negro vo
ters; that that right belongs to the in
j dividual states, and opposes the idea
; that negroes should be endowed with
the right of franchise in Pennsylvania.
That is very go< d, Mr. I'nion Re
publican! But what business has John
W. Geary's name at your mast-head, if
you hold such sentiments?
\E(iKO RIOT AT NI.W ORLEANS.
A terrible riot lias just occurred in
I the city of New < irleans, growing out
off a demonstration of the negroes in
; honor of the re-assembling of thede
funct Banks State Convention of
A procession of negroes was passing a
longoneof the streets, when a white
man was tripped by a negro, and a po
: iieeman undertaking to arrest the hit
ter lie was at once fired upon by the
j negroes, whereupon a row ensued which
; soon assumed the proportions of a most
j fearful riot. The Mayor and police ft
i nally succeeded in restoring order, but
j not until a number of negroes and sev
| oral whites were killed, and many of
' both colors wounded. This is another
episode in tiie history of black and
whiteequality. Such are the workings
of the Civil Rights Bill. Riot, blood
shed and anarchy are its legitimate re
suits. Who would vote so as to en
dorse it?
TIIE AI SlItOI'ltlSNiAA nut.
The latest news from Europe is to
the effect that a treaty of peace has
been signed by Austria and Prussia.—
What is the nature of this treaty, we
are not informed. The news was re
ceived by the Atlantic Telegraph. The
Prussianshad still continued their vic
torious march and hail entered Ihtrm
stadt. The main Prussian army was
within fifty miles of Vienna. A five
days armistice, commencing on the
23d ult., was agreed upon between the
two powers. The Italians had taken
the "Borgo Fort." The Austrian
commander in the Tyrol claims to have
driven the Italians across Caffara riv

Lissa, the Austrians claiming the vic

Ciink he deserved some consideration;
but this serves to show the differ

for stealing: "Make money my son,'

opponents. Thee must buckle on thy
armor and light against this corrupt
scheme of Negro Suffrage. It is the
key to all our troubles. The opposi

they did before. The "Freednien's

We have already noticed a call for
a sni(Umttl Southern Radical Conveu
dfcntion, of men of all parties, from all
sections of the Union. The New York
Xrics thus gives the lives and history
of some of the signers to Jack Hamil
ton's call:
"Three of them profess to be citizens
of Texas. Not one of them is a resident
of that-state. 'Governor' Hamilton left
it some time ago, declaring that he nev
er exjxcted to reside there again, and
I he is now in Washington. George W.
i Paschall, whose suspected treason to
| the Confederacy was magnanimously
j over-looked by its government during
: all the war, is now living in Washing
j ton and practicing law there. Lorenzo
j Sherwood resides in the city of Brook
; lyn, and has a law-office in this city,
i These are the Texans.
Two Georgians sign the call G. W.
I Ashburn and Henry C. Cole. Neither
| of them is known to a hundred men
outside of his county. They are both
' Northern men by bifth and education.

The signers from Alabama are with
the exception of Mr. George lieese, so
obscure and unknown, that we venture
to say that they have never been heard ol
ten miles from their homes. We are
somewhat suprised that Mr. Re. se ap
pended his name to the call, if, indeed,
it was placed there by his authority.
The four Missourians who sign the pa
per are a part of the scum that was
thrown to the surface of the filthy po
liticai pool of that State by the terrible
agitations of the war. If there is a
man in all the land who can tell us any
thing about the two North Carolin
ians whose names grace the call, we
shall be obliged to him for the infor
mation.
Those are the men who have called
a Convention of* the Loyal Unionists

THERE is a paper in Mobile called
the Xutionalht, owned and edited by
blacks. It has a colored correspondent
at New Orleans, who expresses his ap
preciation of the Bureau in the follow
ing language. lie says:
"A thousand times better would it
be for the eoiored men were it abolish
ed, for, instead of beinga safeguard and
protection for the freedinen, it is only
a place in which freed men's rights are
bartered away; it serves only to engen
der bitterness and hatred in the hearts
of the very people with whom we ex
pect to live, die, and be buried."

has written the following letter.
Yes Sir:—l would hail Davis,oryou,
or any other culprit that the govern
ment* would shamefully keep in jail

truly. HORACE GKEEEY.

FEDERAL JUSTICE.— The Aye has
•idled the following from the volumi
lOUS testimony taken before the mis
ailed Reconstruction Committee of
Congress. It is part of the testimony
if Judge Underwood, before whom Jef
'erson Davis will be tried next tail. The

wer read any considerable amount of
die "testimony" taken by this com
mittee, that it has about as much to do
with the price of corn as it has with
the subject of reconstruction:
Q. What is the standing at present
in Virginia of Jefferson Davis in point
of popularity ?
A. He is not as popular as General
Lee by any means. He is however, re
garded as their representative man, hut,
1 know that ho is not really as highly
esteemed as many others.
(j. What are some of the principal
defects in his administrative career?
A. I think they have complained of
his want of firmness, as they called it,
and his teuieuetj to prisoners. He is cer
tainly not as popular as General Lee.
But now comes the most remarkable
part of all, as to which, reading in the
nineteenth century, we rub our eyes
and wander if it can be i eality:
(j. Could either Jefferson Davis or
Robert E. Lee be convicted of treason
in Virginia?
A. O no! unless you had a packed
jury- * * , .
(j. Could you manage to pack a jury
there.
A. I think it would be very difficult,
but it coup Ibe done. J could packet jury
to convict him.
This is the creature that Abraham
Lincoln appointed a judge in Virginia,
and this is he who now administers
justice. We have nothing lyore to say.

CHAFING THE GREENBACKS. —The
New York Herald and the Ledger pub
lished a statement that the Department
of the Treasury under Chase was minus
thirty millions of greenbacks. Why did
not the Black Republican Committee
!ou the Conduct.of the war investigate
this statement? Why did not some
v jij.iv.oourprlvO tit ihw
statement? Did the Senate agree to
adjourn so soon in order to pi event in
-1 vestigation? Is this statement, like
I that in regard to "cotton frauds,' 1 ' to be
i hush d up underthe Badieal cry of the
I negro is better than the white man, and
Ought to vote? Is the negro to elect
I Congressmen who will not investigate
I into the corruption of the "loyal" ad
j ministration? It seems so. This is
s the best way to pay the national

THE GREAT Qt; EST lON'.' ?— The great
question with the negroites is, how
shall we manage so that the MINO
RITY can RULE the majority ? How
shall we, the disunion minority, man
age to KEEP our hands IN the na
tional TREASURY ?
These are the two great questions in
one! The minority MUST RULE be
cause WE are the minority! The ne
gro must vote, because he will vote
with "WE" the minority ! The Un
ion must be divided, and usurpation
he resorted to, or else WE, the mino
rity will be out voted I—Xortluanber
