The pirty that bids highest will geithe colored vote. Shall this element be introduced into our elections? CAICFS TYRANNY." The immortal Declaration of Inde pendence asserts this great principle: h Taxation without Representation is Tyranny!" The people of ten States lISU!r are now being taxed by the Mongrel V Caucus at Washington, without being P*,,. allowed representation in Congress. y J ocratic member voted against it. It will be remembered that last year, j | when this subject was mooted in Con gress, the people of the District held an j election at which they rejected the prop osition by an almost unanimous vote. | This alone should have been sufficient jto deter Congress from passing this j bill. Upon the very doctrine of Abra- j ! ham Lincoln that our system of Gov- ' i eminent is based upon the will of the majority, Congress should have re- , frained from enacting the measure. But the law has been forced upon them, in spite of their protest, and they are p compelled to submit to its execution. It can hardly be believed that a party l : which is so fastidious a stickler for the : . | most enlarged freedom, has deliberate-! j ly enslaved the white people of the j j | capital of the Union. We say enslaved, 1 for when the large majority of the vo- ; s ; ters of a State are forced by those who j make laws for them, to submit to s | measures which they loathe and abhor, i | those voters are reduced to political sla- \ f very. Congress is authorized by the j ' Constitution to legislate for the District ; of Columbia; but it has no better right j to set at defiance the will of the voters * I of the District than the legislature of r any State has to override the wishes of the people of such State. Suppose that _; a Constitutional Convention were cho t sen in Pennsylvania, and that the peo ple, by a large majority, would instruct that Convention that it should not strike the word white from the Consti tution, and in spite of this instruction, j that body would thus alter that instru ment, would not the Convention be j guilty of the grossest tyranny ? Well, the case of Congress and the District of Columbia, is precisely parallel. If it be tyranny for the law-makers of Penn "! sylvania to defy the will of the major ity of the people of the State, so is it equally tyranny in the law-makers for j the District of Columbia, to force an odious measure upon the citizens of the District. But let us remember that logic is love's labor lost with those who are governed by party feeling, and we know but few men who vote with the party which has thus enslaved the '' white people of the District of Colum i bia, who are governed by any other j motive. They are joined to their idols; ► > | let them alone. So, good bye, logic! and let the stern reasoning of results i j convince those who will not learn in ' any other school than that of experi ence. Let the corruption of the elec j tive franchise, the scramble for the votes of ignorant and degraded negroes, | the resultant elevation of these miser ' able creatures to office, and, finally, a t! * | war of races, teach the lesson which ' will not be learned even from the very : lips of Reason. > ARE YOF. OR ARE YOF NOT? 1 We. put this question to every man 1 who calls himself a Republican : Are -! you, or are you not, in favor of forcing > Negro Suffrage upon an unwilling peo ' | pie? Your representatives in Congress, > j the men of your choice, have done that ' very thing. They have given the ne * groes of the District of Columbia the , ; right to vote, in the face of the almost ' j unanimous protest of the voters of the • District. Now, if you are in favor of ' this business, say so; if you are oppo sed to it, say so, and what is more and better, act accordingly. You have "beat around the bush" long enough jon this subject. Be a man and show 1 the world that you are not bound to cling to your party when it does a great wrong. MT IT AT THU: I Democrats, you remember that du ; ring the last campaign our "Republic ■ an" friend.-.denied the charge that their i party is in favor of Negro Suffrage. ■ Now, both Houses of Congress have, passed the bill to force Negro Suffrage upon the people of the District of Co i lumbia. We want every man of you j to put this foci into the ear of his "Re publican" neighbor. You can nowjus- 1 tify fully all that you said in regard to this subject. The people are bound to acknowledge that you were right. You possess the advantage of having Truth on your side. Make use of that advan tage. Bring it home to every "Repub lican" in the country. DON'T NI.AC.-HEA' THE TRACES! It is the common practice of Demo- i cratsto cease talking politics as soon as the election is over. It is thought that j the time for work is only during the heat of the campaign This is all a • mistake. NOW is the accepted time. 1 | You can't reason with a man who is ! i excited, but you may reach his under- : i standing when his excitement has pass- 1 ed away.

Ar„ Ac. ■ Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 1866. MR. EDITOR: —The insane asylum : in the Capitol is still working away, I raging and roaring like a true bedlam, tearing the Constitution to tatters and trampling it under its feet. Could the people but look in upon the doings of their M. C's (Mad-Caps) for a single day, they would agree with me in pro nouncing Congress a collection of in sane revolutionists, or a pack of knavish politicians, plotting for their own su premacy, at the risk of the destruction of republican government. Such a set of political desperadoes as compose this Congress havn't got together since the , days of the Long Parliament, and if l they undertake to imitate that histori cal legislature, as they talk of doing, by making themselves perpetual, the love of Liberty will have died out in the hearts of the American people, if not another Cromwell be found to check their usurpation. Yesterday was signalized by the pas sage of the bill to force Negro Suffrage upon the people of the District of Colum bia. It was attempted to amend it by confining the right to vote to those who can read and write. But even this lim itation was not allowed by the Mongrel Radicals. Senator Cowan proposed to amend the bill so as to confer suffrage upon women, but as this included white persons, it was summarily voted down. The bill has now been passed by both Houses, and wants but the signature of the President to become a law. It is naked, flat-footed Negro Suffrage , with out limitation or qualification, and under this law any negro, no matter how ignorant or degraded, becomes the political equal of any and every white man, and the political superior of any white woman in the District of Columbia. Your Representative , Mr. KOONTZ, voted for the bill. 1 am glad to find that he is honest enough to stand up for the doctrines of his party. Every "Republican" member from Pennsyl vania, present when the vote was taken, voted for the bill. I wonder whether in the next canvass in your State these fellows will deny, as they did last fall, that they are in favor of Negro Suf frage? The President will, doubtless, veto the hill, but it will be passed over his veto. The vote, upon its passage, stood in the Senate, 32 to 16; in the House, 117 to 46. The Democrats all voled against it, and also the "Repub licans" in the House from West Vir ginia and Kentucky. Old Frank Thom as, of the Allegany district, Maryland, voted for it. Thad. Stevens declared in a speech in the House, the other day, that Jeff. Davis is not guilty of Treason, and might not to be tried for Treason ! Now, oughtn't Thad. to be hung for this dis loyal utterance ? I wonder what people will begin to say about Mr. Stevens! Will they not set him down as a traitor, too ? What! Jeff. Davis not guilty of treason! And here we have been lis tening for six years to the thunderings of Mr. Stevens and his friends against Traitors and Treason, and even in the late campaign we heard them proclaim from every stump that "Treason must be punished and Traitors madeodious!" Who will not be disloyal after this sum mersault of Mr. Stevens ? Who cannot turn "copperhead," now that the leader of the "loyal people" pronounces Jeff. Davis innocent of Treason ? But Thad. and his co-workers care not a huddle about Jeff. Davis. The game they are after is of a different sort. They want to emasculate the Stales that will not vote the Radical ticket for President , or, if that cannot be done, they aim to kill them altogether. Their effort to deprive the Southern States of one-half of their representation, by the adoption of the proposed Constitutional Amendment, having failed, they now talk of re manding those States into a territorial condition. In order to accomplish this last, they must proceed upon the ground that secessiota was lawful, and that the secession of the Southern States made them independent foreign govern ments, wh|>se territory the United States Government holds by right of conquest.

The bill suspending all payments for services of slaves enlisted in the United States army until the a war d of the Commissioners has been appro * r ed by Congress was reported from the Co m mittee on Finance. The bill providii 'g for negro suffrage in the District of Co 1- umbia was then taken up, the questioi' being on Mr. Cowan's amendment al lowing females the right of suffrage. A long debate ensued, i n which a number of members participated, Mr. Wil liams, of Oregon, made a vi olent speech in favor of negro suffrage, in which he said that "he wished the descendants of those proud and haugh ty familiesof the District to goto the { polls with negroes." He thought all j males should be allowed to vote, but did j not favor female suffrage. Mr Morrill declared that sutfrage was not a natu ral right, but a privilege, which could betaken away at any time. Mr. Cowan, the author of the amendment, made several humorous speeches in favor of it, and Mr. Wade advocated female suff rage. Without finally disposing ofthe amendment the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. —A bill requiring the Secre tary of the Treasury to sell fifty millions of dollars of gold, or m< re if necessary, was introduced but was; Afterwards with drawn.

The consideration of the bill providing for negro stiifrage in the District of Columbia was then resumed, the question being on Mr. Cowan's amendment giving females the right of voting. After a very long discussion a vote was taken on the amendment, and it was rejected—yeas 6, nays :!7. An amendment was offered by Mr. Dixon, requiring all persons who have not heretofore voted in the District to be able to read and write be fore their ballots shall be received at the polls. The Senate then adjourned. HOUSE. —The credentials of Hon. B. H. Epperson, representative elect from the Western district of Texas, were in troduced and referred to the Committee on Elections. The bill reported from the Committeeon the Judiciary repeal ing so much of the statute of 1790 as prohibits prosecutions for treason from being made after a longer period than three years from the commission of the crime was taken up. A long debate ensued, in which Mr. Rogers, of New Jersy, argued with great ability against the repeal of this law. A number of other members also participated in the discussion, some favoring and others opposing the bill. It was finally recom mitted to the Committeeon the Judici ary. A bill was passed allowing the President to confer brevet rank on offi cers in the regulararmy, who havebeen brevetted for gallant and meritorious actions while serving in the volunteer forces.

An amendment was adopted providing for the punishment, by tine or imprisonment, of all persons who shall presume to hold office after being rejected by the Senate. The bill was finally laid over and made the spec ial order for to-day. A resolution was adopted calling on the President for all information" in his possession in relation to the New Orleans riots.

The paragraph appro priating one hundred and seventy-five thousand live hundred and eighty-two dollars for the deficiency for work done on Government property by the corpo ration of Washington was stricken out. A number of unimportant amend ments were then adopted, after which ; the committee rose and reported the bill to the House. The bill was passed by the House as amended. Among the principal items is one of two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, to sup ply deficiencies in expenses for foreign intercourse, by which is meant the ex - expenses of bringing Surratt to this ! country and for those of his trial after ! wards. The House then went into Committee of the Whole and took cip I the President's message. Mr. War d, | of New York, made a long speech d e nouncing the President.

SI:XSII!I,K T ILK TO DEMOCRATS. We find the following sensible talk in the Philadelphia Age, and we coin mend it to the attention of those Dem ocrats who see tn to think that printing a Democratic j >aper is an easy and pro i fitable bu.sines s; to those, also, who, i being in position to assist the editor, ! neglect to do it; and, especially, to ! that more numerous class who sub j scribe for theii • paper but are negligent ) about paying f or it: " It is no m ore than justice to say that every nn in who now publishes a Democratic p. i per, does a self-sacrificing work, and, ta ken as a class, we know of no truer oi • more patriotic men than the Democrat ic editors of the North ern States, iVs n body, they are far in advance of the politicians, who, in j many instances, are dead weights upon them. We say, therefore, that if there is any class of r.aen who deserve well of Democrats , it is, taken as a whole, the Deinocn itic editors. We urge, therefore, th at Democrats generally I should try t y understand the difficul ; ties under v Inch their editors labor, | and when 1 ney see what advantages the Aboliti > n press have over them, they will let ( like taking hold and aid ing them with material aid in their unequal fight. As the Nt nv Year approaches, let systematic efforts be made to give a wide exte isi' Dn to Democratic journals. Active Dcni ocrats should commence ; early making out lists of those who ! ought to, ar d probably will take (if ' called upon) either a city or local paper, jor perhaps b< jth. Let it be the busi i ness of some one to see his Democratic neighbors, a> id urge upon them the ne cessity of sust fining their papers. Dem ocrats must be doubly vigilant if they would perpetuate their principles and .save republic an institutions from com plete overth row, and their children 1 from the cru filing taxation of a money | ed aristocrat :y and monopolist's des potism." i mmm '• - PLTTSBUKC 1 AM) COXX ELLSVILLE • RAILROAD.- -An item published a few | days ago, re.'erring to the Sand Patch i Tunnel on th e line of the above road, j concluded as follows: "As soon as the j legal questio tis concerning the Pitts ! burg and Connellsville Railroad shall ; have been d ecided, the work on the ; road will be pushed rapidly forward to j completion." The "United States ! Railroad and Mining Register" replies j and makes tl ic following suggestion: j "As the questions' referred to j have been appealed to the Supreme j Court of the United States, at Wash | ington, it would seem as if a final de i eision had been indefinitely adjourned, ; for, as the case stands before the pub j lie, it is not clear that either of the j two great interests that are the real | parties in the suit, are very urgent for i a conclusive adjudication. * i Meanwhile the development of the ; Southwest portion of Pennsylvania is I postponed. In the progress of events, j however, it is made more manifest from j year to year that the Pittsburg and 1 Connelsville Railroad Company must , look upon Harrisburg rather than Cu m berland as the principal eastern point in its plan and programme.

To accomplish this, the liver and stomach ) I must first be cleansed and an appetite created for > good wholesome food, which, by these medicines • will be digested properly, and good healthy blood " ! made; thus building up the constitution. Sehenek's ~ | Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious " ! or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea ! Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Scbcnck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well " r as medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all J. | impurities are expelled from the system, ami good, 4 (i wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis j : ease. If patients will take thete medicines ac j ! cording to directions, consumption very frequently s i in its last stage yields readily to their action , j Take the pills cleanse the liver and I , stomach. It does not follow that because the bow - j els are not costive they are not required, forsome -0 | times in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stora - ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created J|| to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on tho resnir- fl - atory organs properly and allay any irritation. tjH| 1 Then all that is required to perforin a permanent 1 ' cure is, to prevent taking cold.
