THE CAINE OF TEMPERANCE.
No man will deny that the intemper
ate use of intoxicating liquors, is hurt
ful as well to the community as to the
individual. Drunkenness has long
been a besetting vice among mankind,
and, we think, is not more extensively
practiced now than formerly. Never
theless, it is a subject which properly
attracts the attention .of every man
who would be a benefactor to the hu
man race. It is a moral disease which
philanthropists have long since tried
to cure, but which has thus far baffled
their good intentions. Societies have
been established for this purpose,
pledges have been administered, lec
turers have harangued the people upon
their short-comings in this regard, but
all have proved comparative failures.
The last cure proposed is prohibitory
legislation. This has been tried in a
number of States, but, we are sorry to
say, the statistics on the subject, show
that there is more drunkenness, now,
in those States, than there was before
prohibitory laws made it a temptation
to engage in clandestine drinking and
contraband liquor selling. Prohibitory
laws in regard to articles of diet and
drink, have always been defied by
man. Even the Divine edict, "Thou
shall not eat of the fruit of the Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil," was
disobeyed. As God's own command
failed to restrain man before the fall,
how shall human laws restrain him, in
his fallen estate? All experience teach
es us that sumptuary laws fail to reach
their purpose. But there is one cure
for Intemperance. It is the same that
must be applied to the healing of every
other sin. It is the proper moral and
religious education of the people. Pa
rents, guardians and religious teachers
are responsible, in a great measure, for
the prevalence of drunkenness. As
aids to the education of which we
speak, t<. mperance societies are, doubt
less, of great use. So long as these con
fine themselves to the implanting of true
moral principle in the minds and hearts
people, they ean do much good.
Tor the principle itself must be rooted
in the understanding and affection* of
man, before his life will be in conformi
ty with such principle. But when such
societies des. rt their legitimate mission
and seek to force upon the people, by
positive law, what they should incul
cate in the mind and plant in the af
fections, by the efficacy of moral teach
ing, they not only fail in their purpose,
but cause the people to add to. the sin
of drunkenness, corruption, evasion and
secret breaking of the law, and even
the heinous crime of perjury. Hence,
we are sorry to see indications that the
present temperance movement, of
which we had hoped so much, is about
to end its career in a struggle for polit
ical power. It is with unbounded re
gret that we feeJ constrained to write
these words, but we feel it our duty to
warn the true friends of temperance
against the fatal mistake which ambi
tious and unprincipled men are leading
them to commit, and only hope that
our warning will be as kindly received
as it is honestly intended.
YATERLAXD!
TheGermansarecoming! CarlHein
zer, editor of the Boston Pioneer , the
most ultra Radical paper in the country,
has cut loose from the so-called "Repub
lican" party. The Pittsburg Volks
blatt, an influential Radical daily, says
that the German "Republicans" must
form an alliance with the Democracy.
The lowa German Republican papers
take similar grounds and Carl Schurz
himself, recommends, in the St. Louis
Westliche Post, that the German Radi
cals vote for the Democratic candidates
for legislative and municipal offices.
The Germans left their Vaterland to
seek a land of liberty, and they will
never assist in establishing a worse
than Austrian tyranny in America.
A HAPPY FAMILY.
Senator Fessenden, of Maine, and
drunken Zach. Chandler, Senator from
Michigan, had a sparring-match in the
Senate, just prior to the adjournment.
The lie was given by Fessenden to Chan
dler, but the great blood-letter didn't
attempt to open Fessenden's veins. A
happy family, those Radicals, to be
sure!
TM AD. ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN!
A correspondent of the X. Y. Herald,
who visitedThad. Stevens,at Lancaster,
a short time ago, gives an account of
his conversation with the Radical lead
er, in which Stevens is represented to
have been very severe upon Butler,
Forney and other prominent men in
his own party, and to have acknowledg
ed that Pensylvania would be lost to
the Radicals at the appioaehing elec
tions. Stevens took notice of this let
ter, in his place in Congres'i, a few days
ago, and whilst he disclaimed any in
tention to censure Butler A Co., he did
not deny the authenticity (if the state
ments of the Herald's correspondent
and failed entirely to contradict that
portion of those statements in which
he is reported to have admitted the
prospective defeat of the Radicals in
Pennsylvania. We, therefore, give the
following extracts from the Herald's
article, with entire confidence in their
truthfulness.
"Question —Is the Republican party
well united in Pennsylvania?
"Stevens—T fear that we shall lose
Pennsylvania this next election. Ido
not think we have earnestness enough
in the State to uniteand draw out the Re
publican strength, while the Republi
can portion of our Legislature has been
so openly, notoriously and shamefully
corrupt that all the honest Republicans
in the State are disheartened and dis
gusted.
"Question —You do not suppose that
you can beat New York in corruption,
ilo you ?
"Mr. Stevens—l think we could.—
Cameron had his men with their hand
fulls of greenbacks working in the Leg
islature. Ho had not fourteen votes in
his favor at the close of the election, but
soon after he had forty. One man now
claims $50,000 for services,and they re
fuse to pay him. This corruption will
certainly beat us here next election un
less we can draw out the Republican
strength by getting up a furore and ex
citement on impeachment. Geary, too,
hurts us very much. Heisan unhappy
failure, and his nomination was an un
fortunate thing for the party."
Take courage, Democrats! The file
leader wavers! AYe shall capture the
enemy, "horse, foot, dragoons" and
Charles Sumner! Steady,' boys, and
charge them in the centre!
ANOTHER GLORIOUS VETO.
The President has vetoed the recon
structed supplemental supplementary
Reconstruction bill, and Congress has
again shut its eyes, in wilful blindness,
and passed the bill over his veto. The
veto message is an able document and
makes the President's position impreg
nable. We shall lay it beJoreour read
ers in our next issue.
SHOUTS—POLITICAL AND PERSONAL.
RECONSTRUCTION has been recon
structed and yie ten excluded States
have been turned over to the tender
mercies of the late uegro # slaves. Sam
bo and C'uflee tvill soon run fur Con
gress and the Rads. can count on ten
states (if not States, ten somethings ) for
any Negro they may nominate. Al
ready the colored brethren sing:
"Who dat lives in de White House yonder?
Jang mailing go lay !
De white trash musn't rule no longer,
Jang malang go lay !"
THE Rads. are so hard up for some
thing to say in praiseof their candidate
for Supreme Judge, that they boast that
he once ruled in accordance with a well
settled principle of law laid down in
the reports of Supreme Court decisions.
Such conduct in a Radical Judge is cer
tainly no recommendation with his
party.
THE Democratic State Committee
met at the Merchants Hotel, iu Phila
delphia, on Wednesday, 16th inst, and
organized with Hon. AY\ A. Wallace
as Chairman and Pearson Church and
W. Strickland, Jr., as Secretaries. J.
O. Kimmell, Esq., of Somerset, is the
member of the Committee for this Sen
atorial District.
THE Boston Post thus tells the whole
story of the Radical opposition to a res
toration of the Union:
"Why don't they reconstruct the Southern States,
Who stand repentant, knocking at our gates ?
"It seems to me," says Simple, "tis a sin,
Now they've repented, not to let them in."
"It would not do," says Wade; "for past a doubt,
If they come in our party will go out."
Six thousand voters have been reg
istered in Nashville Tenn., of which
number only 1600 are whites. About
400whitesaredisfranchised. Brimstone
Brownlow ought to be able to win, un
der such circumstances.
JOHN L. GODDARD, Esq., Grand
Master of the Masonic Order in this
State, died, at his residence in West
Philadelphia, on the 16th inst. He was
widely known and highly esteemed.
THE Treasury Department estimates
the cost of maintaining the troops used
by the Five Monarchs in the "recon
struction" of the South.at forty millions
of dollars , for the next year. Go in

THE Valley Spirit , the organ of the
Democracy of Franklin county, has
been sold by Messrs. Hamsher and
Keyser, late proprietors,to Messrs. John

of the strongest newspaper teams in
the State. We send greeting to them
and tender our congratulations to the
retiring publishers on their release
from the yoke editoiial.

.SUA 1.1. THE NEXT P RES in EXT BE E
LECTED BY XEGBOES?
Negro suffrage having been forced
upon teu States of the Union against
the wishes of the lawful governing
people and in violation of their inal
ienable rights, no negro vote that may
be cast in the South for a presiden
tial candidate in IS6B can lawfully be
counted. The Conservative, people of
the North should therefore take early
action to checkmate the Radical con
spirators iu the infamons design which
they are perfecting to elect a Radical
President with negro ballots. Let ar
rangements be made immediately, un
der the old State laws, to take the law
ful white vote of those ten States, in
November, 1868, and if by that vote,
added to the Conservative vote of the
North, a Conservative candidate shall
be in majority, let that man be made
President at whatever cost or sacrifices.
This Government was formed by
white men for white men and their
posterity forever. It is not for a mere
handful of grasping and ambitious
demagogues to say to the great white
masses —"You shall take the negroes
into partnership with you. and permit
thera to dictate to you who shall be
your President, your Senators and your
Representatives." And this, in sub
stance, is just what the Radical leaders
are now saying to the laboring masses
of the country. The People will be
drones and cravens, indeed, to bare
their necks to such an ignoble yoke
without a struggle—a death struggle,
even, to retain and perpetuate their
right to self-government. Let their
watchword henceforth be—This Gov
ernment was made for white men, and
itsAaftbe ruled by white men only!
—Patriot and Union.
THE a sistant commissioner of the
Negro Bureau at Nashville, Gen. \V.
P. Carlin, has issued a circular for cir
culation among negroes, in which they
are informed that in case they lose em
ployment on account of politics they
will be provided for by the Bureau un
til they can find work, and that all ex
penses so incurred will be paid out of
the "special relief fund" appropriated
by Congress. Here is a most excellent
opportunity for lazy darkies. No doubt
hundreds and thousands of them will a
vail themselves of the opportunity to
to get fixed in the Bureau as political
martyrs, until they can get work. But
how 'will this sort of business suit our
Northern hard-working tax-payers, out
of whose pockets is taken this 'Spe
cial relief fund" appiopriated by Con
gress ?— Pat. & Union.
THE DESPOT MET. "PASSED" OVER
THE VETO.
WASHINGTON, July 19.—The Presi
dent's veto message was received in the
House at 2p. m. The President says
he has the same objections to this bill
as to the previous one, and the bill was
passed over the veto promptly.
There is no foundation for the report
that the President intends to call an ex
tra session of the Senate to consider the
foreign treaties, which were only sub
mitted at this session as*a matter of fa
vor and it was expected that they
would be immediately acted upon.
The President's message, vetoing the
reconstruction bill, besides taking up
the bill xer'uitim, which it is intended
to disprove, embraces an argument
to show that the resuit of the bill, if it
shall become a law, must be the repu
diation of the debts of the Southern
Spates existing prior to the rebellion.
This argument is based, not upon the
hypothesis that the States are to be
treated as conquered territory, but up
on the theory of the reconstruction act,
that there are no legal State Govern
ments existing in the ten Southern
States.
The President maintains that ifthese
State governments are destroyed by
act of Congress, the legal and logical
consequence must be the repudiation of
the debt- of these States, since the gov
ernment which incurred the liabilities
is wiped out.
The veto message on the reconstruc
tion bill was approved by all the Cabi
net except Secretary Stanton.
THE LOST PLANK. —We are told that
some of our Repubican brethren, upon
reading the platform promulgated by
the Williamsport Republican Conven
tion, and finding 110 plank upon the
subject of "Manhood Suffrage," inquir
ed of the delegation from this county
why it was, and received for reply:
"You see, we found that plank con
siderably shattered and broken by the
manifestations of the people at the
elections,and we feared to give it place
lest it would break the entire platform
.down. , That plank has cast rather a
dark shadow over us in Pennsylvania,
and it was thought best after considera
ble and warm controversy to keep it in
the shade for the present. We managed
to keep the debate in committee, but
some how it has leaked through some
fool that they had a thundering hot
time of it."
This is the only account we have
heard of the missing plank. It may
turn up in some of the more rabid
county conventions, where its advo
cates have no gag on them. It is evi
dent that tne Republicans are frighten
ed at the dark shadow.— Sunbury Dem
ocrat.
WHERE FHI? MONEY GOES.—Nig
gers throughout Poland in America,
are paid $3 per head for registering and
voting the Mongrel ticket. The Mon
grels do not raise this money out of
their own party, but satraps command
ing the different districts pay it out o*
the appropriated hy nprrp<j to
meet the expenses incured by their de
struction bid. As all the niggers are
not yet registered, another appropria
tion of one million, six hundred andJif/y
thousand dollars has been made. This
amount will no ddnbt induce the bal
ance of the darkeys to become radicals
at once. What a glorious thing for the
white tax-payers of the country mon
grelism has proved itself to be? They
are not only taxed to feed Mr. and Mrs.
Cuffee and the little Cuffees, but are
compelled to raise money to purchase
their votes for the party that is loading
them down with taxes. Glorious coun
try ! Free people !— Belief ante Watch
man.
NEGRO ASSASSINATION.—The horri
ble account of the butchery of an entire
family in Wake County, N. C., just re
ceived, reminds us that atrocities of
this description, perpetrated by ne
groes, are coming from the Southern
States with alarming frequency. We
can remember nothing like it in former
years. In every instance, so 0r as we
have observed, the crime is instigated
by a desire to plunder or the gratifi
cation of beastly passions. Nowhere
do these outrages partake of a political
character. They do not proceed from
a spirit of retaliation or revenge, and
can only be attributed to a growing de
moralization among the negro popula
tion consisting in a large degree of those
who lately were slaves, but now re
leased from almost every form of re
straint. Not only this, but the negroes
are often the dupes of mischief-makers,
itinerant lecturers and political orators,
who till their weak minds with crude
notions concerning their personal
rights,the laws of property, &c. Tne
inlluences thus exerted are incidental
to the change suddenly brought about
in their social condition, and are in
evitable. As all must have foreseen,
the transition state, while the simple
freedmen are being qualified for the
duties of citizenship, is fraught with
peril, not only to themselves, but to the
entire social fabric in which they move.
None can predict the end. Those who
anticipated a simultaneous revolt of
the whole slave population as insep
arable from the war with the Houth,
found themselves widely at fault, and.
we may trust that all similar predic
tions of wholesale massacres or other
atrocities, growingout of the new-found
liberty of the race will be as complete
ly falsified by time. Still, the signs
of increasing social disorganization
manifested in the prevalence of the
worst forms of atrocity—lust, murder,
and rapine—cannot be regarded with
entire composure. The final destiny
of the black race now in America pre
sents a problem, of which, at this early
day, no definite solution is offered.— JY.

A CARD
FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,
Of Waltham, Mass.
This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than a million dollars! and employs ov
er 700 operatives. They produce 75,000 Watches
a year, and inake and sell not less than one half
of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this : European Watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity a lack of that unitormity, which is
indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of tho most skillful operative
must vary. Bat it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches aro the
product of the cheapest labor of Switierland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres, Lcpines and so
called Patent Levers—wliioh soon cost more in at
tempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, lay tho rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
How AMERICAS WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Walthain Watch is made by no
such uncertain process—and by no such incompe
tent workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under one
roof, and under one skillful and competent direc
tion. But the great distinguished feature of their
Watches, is the fact that their several parts are
all made by the finest, the mist perfect and deli
eate machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one of the more than a hundred
parts of every watch is made by a machine—that
infallibly reproduces every succeeding part with
the most unvurying accuracy. It was only neces
sary to make one perfect watch of any particular
style and then to adjust the hundred machines
necessary to reproduce every part of that watch,
and it follows that every succeeding watch must
be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A BETTER ABTICLE FOR THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fash'ioned handicraft sys
tem. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from a good, low priced, and substantial article
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chron
ometer; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIME-KEEPERS. It should
be remembered that except their single lowest
grade named'-Home Watch Company, Boston,
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by a special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the Company or its agents.

CONSUMPTION* CURABLE BY DR
SCHENCK'S MEDICINES. —To curetonsumption, the
system must be prepared so that the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
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. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or inucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connt ction, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, and, by using the threo remedies, all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good,
wholosome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take theie medicines ac
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action.—
Tako the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It docs not follow that because the bow
els are not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhoea they are necessary. Tho stom
ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created
to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respir
atory organs properly and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform a permanent
cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise ah,out
the rooms as much as possible, eat all the richest
food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; but be particular and ma.sticato
well. 2d w
