West C'iif.ster, Sept. 21,15(W. During the last wet k the people of West Chester were treated to two Gea ry meetings, one upon Wednesday by the 11 nasi-white wing of the Republican party, and the other upon Saturday by the ultra-black wing. The former was the regular County Mass Meeting. It was addressed by Curtiu and Geary; was smaller than usual, aud devoid of enthusiasm. The latter was ostensibly called for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, but really to impress up on the negroes that they are entitled to political and social equality, and that they must obtain it, even at the point of the bayonet. It is this latter meeting, addressed by the Rev. Highland Garuett (color ed), of Washington, D. C., and the Hon. John Hickman (white), of this place, ol which I desire to give you an account. Early on Saturday morning, "the free Americans of African descent" be gan to flock into town, and by noon there were several thousand present. The parade was then formed and, head ed by a colored brass band from Phil adelphia, marched through the princi pal streets of the borough, and out to the Agricultural Fair Grounds. Along the march handkerchiefs were waved and cheers given by many of our white citizens, persons who make great pre tensions to respectability and good standing in this community. After reaching the fair grounds the meeting wtts organized by calling tmeof our ne gro barbers to the chair. The Emanci pation Proclamation was then read, and after the singing of "John Brown's Soul is Marching On," by the colored population, the Rev. Highland Garnett was introduced as orator for the uvea- | sion. He denounced President John son in unmeasured terms, intimating in his address that he should like to see him assassinated. He told the ne groes that they deserved and were en titled tothe right of suffrage, and warn ed the whites to beware, should they stand in their way of obtaining it. Af- i ter abusing the copperheads and rebels, j he wound up with a glowing deserip- | tiou of how the negroes, provided the right of suffrage should be given them, would rush to the field of battle, should there be another war, and ask that the "Stars and Stripes should be their win ding sheets. The applause having subsided and the band having played "Rally Round the Flag," the Hon. John Hickmanap peared upon the platform, surrounded by negroes, and was introduced as the next speaker. The following is the substance of his speech: MR. (TUBMAN: I have In-en asked why I am here to-day, and [ propose to answer that question by saying that I am here because I want to be. I am j here to lend you my countenance on this occasion, and to say a word in be halfof your right to suffrage. I would like to call you ' fcltoic-citizens, '' but the Supreme Court has said that you | are not citizens. I should like to call you fellow-voters, but, as yet, the law will not permit me to. If, however, I were a young man of twenty, I believe 1 should live to see you enjoy the right of suffrage. In times gone by it was | customary to question your humanity, but that, I believe, is no longer ques tioned; it is now conceded by every one that you belong to the human fam ily. And, had it not been that Andrew ; Johnson is controlled by had and wick ed counsellors, you would to-day on- j joy the right of suffrage to which you are entitled. I am in favor of giving equal and impartial suffrage to the no- i gro, because he is entitled to it, and be- j cause I believe that God Almighty has j decreed that justice must lie done to all j men. Many of the colored people here before me have a better right to vote than 1 have; for 1 have but given of my money to sustain the govern ment, whilst they periled their lives to protect it. If the Irishman is entitled to vote af ter a five years' residence in the conn- j try, why should not the negro, who has ! lived here till his life? It is said he is not intelligent enough. I say that if the Irishman is intelligent enough, so is my friend Mr. Garnett. If lam in telligent enough to vote, then so is Mr. Garnett, for he is my equal, ft has been customary to say that the negro who has intelligence derives it from the white blood in his veins. I deny it. Stand up brother Garnett. [Brother <stood up amid great applause. | Show me where there is any trace of white blood in him, (patting brother G. on the shoulder.) There is none; he is a genuine negro. It has taken four years of bloody war to destroy the body of slavery, audit will take four years more of war to destroy the spirit of sla very. When that war comes, you will be railed upon to fight, and mark me! if /hen you do not' obtain'your right to rote, I trill never again exercise mine. But 1 did not come here to make a : speech; I came here to show you that I 1 am in favor of equality before the i law, and 1 now boldly declare that 1 am in favor of political and social equal- BEDFORD.

John Hickman, in the morning, the name of Wayne McVeigh was mention ed in connection with Hickman's as one of the.speakers of the day, but for some reason he failed to make his appearance. There can no longer be any doubt but that the Republican party is commit ted to negro suffrage and equality, at least in this country; for you will rec ollect that in the Press of Friday, Sept. 1-1, lsiiti, Mr. Hickman, in a letter in an swer to one from many of the leading Republicans of West Chester, "announ ces himself a Radical," and gives his "views upon the great questions of the times." The letter to Mr. Hickman concludes in these words: "We have heard them expressed (i.e. your views) too frequently and strongly to leave us in any doubt as to their character, but we wish to give them publicity, as your many friends value them highly."— Thi£ letter is signed by Dr. Wilmer Worthington, Republican candidate for theStateSonatein thisdistrict; J.Smith Futhey, Chairman of the Republican <'ounty Committee; Addison May, Win Darlington, a prominent lawyer and great Anti-Mason; Washington Town send, a member of the Bar; E. J',. Moore, editor of the American Repub lican, and David Meconkey, a wealthy banker. They all fully and unreserv edly endorse Mr. Hickman's views, ac cording to their own statement, so that further comment by me is rendered un necessary. (>ur readers may see t< i what a depth of degradation and shame per sons of supposed respectability and character will descend to further ambi tious projects and low party ends.

Geary, with his narrow in tellect and bigoted nature, we have no doubt, made a most acceptable member of that infamous political organization which proscribed men on account of their birth or religious belief. His ha tred of Catholics did not end with the short-lived triumph of the Know-Noth ing party. It adhered to him, and was afterwards displayed in the most offen sive manner possible. One of the most intelligent, wealthy and respectable citizens of Frederick, Maryland, sends us the following state ment of an occurrence, which shows in its true light the bigoted and tyranni cal character of the vain upstart who is the Radical candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. We give the facts in his own language: To the. Editors of the Intelligencer: DEAR SIRS:— It occurs to me that justice demands that the rude and bru tal manner in which some Sisters of ( harity were treated by John W. (Jeary, should be known, in order that the Catholic citizens of Pennsylvania may understand the character and the spir it of the man who appeals to them for support at the coming gubernatorial e lection. The facte will besuflicient with out any comment, though you are of | course at liberty to use them us you see j fit. In the fall of 1861, under protection! of a pass from General Scott, some four j or five Sisters of Charity left the St. Jo-1 seph's House ;H Emmitsburg on their ; mission to nurse the sick and wounded f soldiers of both armies. They had per mission to visitany point along the line j of contest from Winchester to Rich-! mond, as theirserviees might he need-j ed. While traveling on the cars of the ! Baltimoreaiul Ohio railroad, under per- ; mission from the commander in chief i tit Washington to go where they pleas- ! ed in discharge oftheduties of theirsa- j rred mission, they were arrested at j Point of Rocks by Col. John W Geary. In a rude manner they with their bag gage were removed from the cars and j left among crowds of soldiers and rough camp followers, sitting without shelter on their trunks by the roadside. It was ! not until after repeated solicitations that Col. Geary consented to grant an inter- j view to the principal sister, a lady of! education and refinement, as were her i associates. Finally this military digni-j tary gave orders to have her led into j his august presence by a guard. Ln vain did she explain fully the chitr-' itable character of her holymission; in vain didshe exhibit the general and un restricted pass given her by the Com-1 mander-in-Ciiief at \Y ashington, au thorizing her togo, with her associates, wherever their holy mission might call them, or wherever they might lie need- 1 edto nurse the wounded and console the dying; in vaindidshe beg to be allowed to proceed as several parties of Sisters had been allowed to do unmolested be fore, over the same route; in vain did | she speak of the crying wants of the J wounded, the sick, the dying soldiers ! of the Union army, to relieve and suc cor whom was a great part of her mis sion; in vain did she assure this petty tyrant (Geary) that she had nursed the sick and wounded soldiers of all parties in the Crimean war, without molesta tion or hindrance, receiving from Turk and Russian no less courtesy and kind ness than she did from Frenchman or Englishman; in vain did she protest with tearful entreaties against such u sage in her native land, after having traveled on a similar mission all over Europe unmolested. John Yv. Geary, a bigot by nature and a petty tyrant in his position, thrust herttnd her compan ions into the cars and sent them back to Frederick City, on their way to the I louse of St. Joseph, from which they came. The Surgeon General at Frederick, a high-toned gentleman, and a native of Philadelphia, hearing of the manner in which the Sisters of Charity had been treated by Geary, and fea-ring the dam aging effect which such brutal conduct would have upon the many thousands of Catholic soldiers who were fighting in the front ranks of the army, at once despatched tin orderly to Gen. Ranks, at headquarters near Poolsville, with a let ter containingastatement of the conduct of General Geary, which letter will be found officially recorded on the books of the Medical Director. The Adjutant af ter riding all night, returned to Freder ick with an imperative order, command ing General Geary to escort in person and place safely on the Southern side of the Potomac the said Sisters oft 'hari ty, and to give to them every assistance to aid them in the discharge of their sacred mission of mercy. With what grace he could after his brutal conduct, Geary did escort them beyond the Potomac after having endeavored to -et himself upas superior to the Commander in-Chief, Any soldier who was under Geary at Point of Rocks at the time alluded to will remember his treatment of these Sisters of Charity. He will not dare to deny one word of the above statement. If he should the Medical Director and j the Sisters will testify to the entire ! truthfulness of what is here written. The above facts have been furnished j in the shape in which they appear, as j we have stated, by one of the wealthiest, I most intelligent and honorable men in j the City of Frederick. They show what a mean and miserable bigot John W.! Geary is. We hope our cotemporarios | will give the statement a wide cireula- | tion. ISlnrliiig: thi' Truth. The editor of the Independent % who has been in full consultation with his party, says: "Wo lead in// Republican in Congress means to admit the ten trailing Statex simply on the adoption of the conxtitn tionat amendment. These States are to be admitted on no conditions short of the equal political rights of their loyal citizens, without distinction of race. A reconstruction of the Union on any oth er basis would be a national dishonor. Until the rebel States can come back on this basis, thegxhall not come back at all." This is a frank and free admission.— TheSouth may adopt forty constitution al amendments—but can never be read mitted into the Union until negroes vote there.—A. V. Expresx. — GEN. (>KA.\T <> THE WITNESS STAXIt. ! A lioarbnt It Squplclnsl. The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury has the following among ii- special tel egrams from Washington: WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Gen. Grant ! denies the reports put in circulation j concerning his preferences as regards a j vote in your State. The General savs ! "his record is that of a soldier, and he j has condemned the practice of officers i making capital off of the ree- ! ords of the army." it is not in accord ance with his way of doing things. The General regrets exceedingly that his name has been mixed up with local politics. The report, as published, is a t issue of falsehoods. Gen. Grant never made use of the language attributed to i him. He is a warm supporter of the i President's policy, and is doing all in his power to influence every one to the same way of thinking. Tilt? Oisiliiioui-ils. Henry Wilson, United Slates Sena tor, addressed a Radical meeting in In-1 diauapolis on Saturday night, and said 1 that the promotions of such men as Granger, Custer and other soldiers who attended the Cleveland Convention would not he confirmed by the Senate. A preacher named McMullen followed ' in a speech in which he -aid, that the j axxaxsination of Prex'ulent Johnxon would • not be a trey xerionx calamity. This is the precise style of the Rev. Mr. Hunnicu'tt, one of the Southern i loyalists, traveling with Hamilton and \ Brownlow. Mr. Brown low, by the way, ! in his Cleveland last week dis coursed of his future state sis follows: If God, in His providence, should! call me orf, I have no fears of the con sequences beyond the grave. If the books have been correct ly kept In the upper world, as 1 have no doubt they have been, there will he a small bal ance in my favor. And such is the blasphemy which finds applause among the Radicals.—A*. T. Expresx. Spirit of the Radical* toward* "i'orcifyiiers." The real spirit of the Radicals tow ards theadoptedcitizens, though of late hidden for a few weeks under their at tempt to curry favor with what they call "the Irish vote," is developed in till its natural beauty by a recent visit of an Irish delegation to the President. Says the N. Haven Journal (Radical): "This is the lirst attempt in our his tory of a foreign organization to rule America, aud the meekness of the Pres ident, under the insult offered him, will only hasten his ruin." TIK'J- Must tv Ethnatc* to it. The working men who vote the Re publican ticket—at least many of them, cannot be made to believe that their leaders really intend to place them on an equality wiih the Negro. They will come to it by degrees. Their leaders I are good "levellers," as witness this j speech of Horace Maynard, at Athens, Tonn., on the 21st August : And 1 toll you, gentlemen, that in a : short time all this complaint about ne- I gro equality will be done away with. VOL. 61.-WHOLE No. 5,367. Some monthssince.it was said that the negro would not be suffered to testify in your courts —that, his oath would not 'be granted him. But how stands the matter already? He is not only permit ted to testify in your courts with impu nity, hut there is every evidence that he will soon he on a social equality with the white man in your State. Yes, gen tlemen, in a short time he will marry and intermarry in your families. It is a little.objectionable to-day, but you will soon get over this, and the perse cuted negro will be welcome in your parlors. This will be the result of the political and social changes of the next few months. All DRESS OF 111 E DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRA!. CO MM IT TE E. DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTER ROOMS. ) 828 WAI.N"I T ST., PHILADELPHIA. ) To the People of Pennsylvania: The Democratic party in its platform of principles, adopted at Harrisburg, on the sth day of March, 1866, resol ved 1. That the States whereof the peo ple were lately in rebellion are integral parts of the Union, and are entitled to representation in Congress, hymen du ly elected, who bear true faith to the Constitution and laws, and in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation is tyranny, such representatives should he forth with admitted. 2. That the faith of the republic is pledged to the payment of the national debt, and CongresssTiould pass all laws necessary for that purpose. 6. That the white race alone is enti tled to tiie control of the government of the republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. Upon this platform we placed our candidate for Governor, and with these principles we confidently look for suc cess in this contest. Our opponents in their Convention, held at Harrisburg, on the 7th day of March, 1866, also, adopted a platform, and nominated a candidate. The prin ciples they enunciated appear to be lost sight of, and the proposed constitution al amendment takes their place as the rule of Radical orthodoxy, and to it their candidate gives his unhesitating support. Negro equality and negro suffrage arc the essential elements in that amend ment. By it the negro is made the e qual of the white man in all his "priv ileges and immunities." The right of Pennsylvania to make laws to regulate the migration of negroes into the State is denied and she is deprived of her just share of representation in Congress i unless her Constitution be amended j and the negro allowed to vote. The Radical candidates for Governor and for U. S. Senator; their leaders of ! public sentimeht; their speakers and j their newspapers are open advocates of j this amendment, and their practice ac- j cords with their profession, for they j mingle with the negro in social inter course, in political conventions, and in put >l ic processions. We hold that the negro is not the e qual of the white man, and, whilst we | accord to him freedom and protection j of person, with the right to enjoyment of the fruits of his labor and aid in in tellectual advancement, we affirm that : our own race is entitled to control the entire machinery of the government. ; Sustain this amendment, and you give the negro the right to aid in gov- ] erniug you; defeat it and you maintain j your own right of sovereignty. Every man who votes for deary or for a Rati icat candidate for Congress, votes as distinct'//for negro suffrage and negro equal ifg as if they were printed on his ballot. DEMOCRATS OE PENNSYLVANIA ! Power is no longer against you, but ranges itself upon your side. Oppor tunities for fraud do not exist. Aid comes to you from the ranks of the en emy. No Democrat who voted for Mc- Clellan votes against you now; your brethren are aroused from the Lakes to the Delaware. A chauge of five per cent, upon the vote of 1864 will sweep your opponents out of existence. You can count it in every election district in the Commonwealth : aiulif you will but execute the details of your organi zation, success is certain. Faith in your principles, courage in the contest, and a determination to poll every Conservative vote, are the only requisites to an assured victory. By order of the Democratic State Committee. WM. A. WALLACE, Chairman. GEN. BUTLER, who, we believe, in tends tostump Pennsylvania for Gen. Geary, indicated his preference for ne gro suffrage, last week in this emphatic manner: "Had the negro been armed, the re sult would have been far different. We armed him with the musket when he was fit to use it; shall we not arm him with the ballot ? There is a preju dice against the negro on the question of labor. When M.be labor-saving ma chinery was introduced into England, the laboring classes rose and destroyed it, because they thought it would take away the work that brought them j bread. "Suppose we were only looking for ; expediency. The States must come hack. Wo want a loyal constituency in those States. Where will they come from ? As a matter of setf-protection, us a matter of economy,tin negro must have a vote." CASH FOR THE BEACH SOLIHEK. Broiiilaew for the Willi* Nolilfer. *3OO Extra Bounty forth* Black. SIOO Extra Bounty for the White Soldier. Congress, in 1866, voted the blaek soldier for extra bounty, and aj>- propriated the money to pay it. The white veteran gets $lOO extra bounty, and Congress appropriated NO MONEY to pay it. $2,000 KX'l KA PAY for Congressmen, in cash: no money for the white soldier. Seven millions IN CASH, forthe i- reedmen's Bureau, and no money for the white soldier. No white soldier gets more than sl<t as extra bounty. Every negro soldier gets $6OO extra bounty. Many of the white soldiers served three years. None of the negroes ser ved more than two years. GEARY IS FOR CONGRESS AND THE NEGRO. CLYMER is for the President, the Convention and the White man. Geary calls his fellow soldiers, "Shys ters and Cowards, Skulkers and Hos pital Bummers." Geary says: "1 am not prepared to deny the Right of Voting to the Col ored Man." Til* Torch and Turpentine- Way < ( onstiint ioital AmenHiiieiit*. From the New York World, Sept. 24. Greeley is making a feeble effort to represent himself and his fellows of the Radical party as having a civil war forced upon thein by President John son. I'our innocent lambs!—(sheep, perhaps, would he a better word for the "just once" hero) —see how the tender hearted and long-suffering disciples t>f the Torch-and-Turpentine gospel strug gle desperately to avert further fr< üble. Forney, at Lackawanna, there threat ened a Torch-and-Turpentine war un less the Southern States accept the con stitutional amendment—'which Xho Her ald joins in trying to force upon them. This is his language: "If the Southern people do not ratify this (negro-equalization) amendment, or if they defeat it, what then? 1 think 1 see by the glitter of your eyes, and 1 know by the throbbing of niv heart, that if they should ever be guilty of this new infatuation, the war that would ensue would establish this fact, that that which has passed was as but child's play, or as a pic-nic, to that which will come. The army that will go to the Southern country will go there to stay; it will not be an army of inva sion but an army of migration; it will not go there to revenge, but to extir pate. Brownlow's remedy will indeed be tried; there will be three columns, the one to kill, the second to burn, the third to divide the plantations among the men that go down the second time to avenge the insulted tlag of our coun try. I see this sublime resolve in the glitter of your eyes, and I feel it in the throbbing of my heart—l feel it every where —I hear it in the trumpet voice of destiny. That we shall not prevail against these men is to expect that God is dead." H:t<3i<-al Sentiments. At a Radical meeting in New York, last week, John Cochran said, "that those before him who had been mus tered out of service were now called upon once more to prepare to take up the musket forthe maintenanceof those principles for which they hail fought for four years." The speaker was loudly applauded by the audience, his warlike strains ev idently touching a sympathetic chord in the breast of his hearers. When he exclaimed: "Woe, woe betide that peo ple which forgets its debt of gratitude to the negro race," cheers and applause greeted the sentiment. The concluding portion of his remarks was to the effect that the service rendered to the country by negroes during the war entitled theni to the right of suffrage. Gen. Barlow, the radical candidate for Secretary of the State of New York, also declared in favor of negro suffrage, and demanded that the Republican par ty should come square up to that work. Horace Greeley addressed the meet ing, and said: He wanted a Govern ment under which all loyal men, re gardless of color, should have equal rights. He was going to fight it out on that line, and he hoped all true Amer icans would take the same stand. Mr. Greeley was loudly applauded. A series of resolutions were read and adopted. They were essentially a rep etition of the Syracuse platform, with the addition of one in favor of negro suffrage. The American lie publican says that "Black is the ten/at color at the South, a- white is the dbloyal." This is not complimentary toßrownlow andßotts. The same paper in a later issue ad vocates negro suffrage, and says that— "THE BUCKS IN AN EMINENT DE CREE SAVED THE COUNTRY DURING THE WAR." Let us see about this: White troops in service, 2,154,611. Negro troops in service, 150,600. There were just twelve times as ma ny white troops in the service as there were black ones, and yet the negroes, we are told, "saved the country." The white soldiers are asked to endorse this Infamous sentiment by voting for Geary. NEAR Bellviile, Texas, lately, three men had a desperate fight with a mon ster rattlesnake, fourteen feet long and six inches thick ! They killed him. lie had forty-two rattles, indicating that he was forty-five years old. A SQUAD of negroes was lately im ported into Bellefonte and put to work on laying down the water pipes. The disunion contractors refused to employ white men. Elect Gen. Geary, and that will be the result in all parts of the State.
