FOR AUDITOR, SAMUEL WHIP, of Cuinb. Valley. KIP VAX WIXHLE AWAKES! Fr. Jordan—the Hon. Francis Jor dan, Secretary of the Commonwealth and Chairman of the Radical B. H. State Committee —has issued an address to the people of Pennsylvania, direct ing them how to vote at the approach ing Judicial election. Jordan is the Rip Van Winkle of Pennsylvania pol itics. He started out hunting (that is, office-hunting) one bright morning some twenty years ago, with all kinds of ammunition for the rusty old fire lock with which he calculated to bring down Democratic chickens, and fell asleep on the dunghill of Abolitionism whilst waiting to get a pop at the old cock that was wont to crow so lustily from the GAZETTE office. He has been asleep ever since and just now awakes to the fact that every thing is changed about him. His rusty old gun has faHen to pieces, his shot-pouch containssome old ammunition, much spoiled by age and exposure to the weather, his coat, turn it as he will, does not keep out the wind, which, in its Democratic way— aequopulsatpale —strikesall with equal force. He is wonder-stricken, yet unlike his great prototype, he does not seek to unravel the mystery which surrounds him, hut ties together the parts of his crazy fowling-piece, loads it with his antiquated and weather spoiled ammunition, and proceeds with his hunt of Democratic game. Fizz zip—bang! goes the old blunder-buss and the dogs that slept with him on the Abolition dunghill, run in tosecurethe trophy of the hunter's sportsmanship. Nix kumm heratis! The ammunition was too old ; it had lost its strength ; the gun "burnt prime" too long; and chan ticleer, at whose breast the shot was aimed, flaps his wings ut triumph, and crows lustily, Vic-to-ry! Vie-to-ry! Rip Van Winkle Jordan, will, doubt less, learn, if he has not learned al ready, that if he is compelled to go back thirty four years to And an objec tion to Judge Sharswood, the people will conclude that there is no objection at all to that most excellent jurist. .Just think of it! Here are Jordan and his committee, looking through the whole record of Judge Sharswood's life, scan ning with eager eyes every page of it, and finding nothing until they have j gone back thirty four years, and then | they find him at a States Rights ban- j quetat which toasts were given to John C.Calhoun! Isn't it wonderful! Oh, yes ! they find, too, that in a certain case in Philadelphia, in which a con tract had been made (about seventy years before "greenbacks" were ever thought of) that certain interest was to be paid in "Spanish milled dollars," he ! decided that the party who had stipu lated to pay the "Spanish milled dol lars," must fulfill his contract, and that he could not do so by offering to pay in "greenbacks" instead of Spanish milled dollars, and this, because the contract was a special one and made long before the passage of the "greenback" law. From these two facts, Rip Van Winkle argues that Sharswood is a Secessionist, a traitor, and everything that is naugh ty. But he forgets to say that Shars wood was a Whig until that party was destroyed by Abolitionism, and, there fore, must have acted with Webster and against Calhoun ; and, what is still more significant, he fails to notice the fact that the "Republicans" of Phila delphia, endorsed the nomination of Judge Sharswood for President Judge of the District Court of that city, and voted for him in a body, and this too, during the midst of the late civil war. With such facts to rebut the silly charges of the political antiquary who presides over the deliberations of the Radical B. 11. State Committee, the friends of Judge Sharswood can well afford to rest secure of victory. SELA II ! THE Baltimore Sun thus disposes of the Tennessee "election," so-called: "Four fifths of the white voters of Tennessee have been disfranchised and the black men have taken their places. * * In some counties there were not as many white voters as there were offices to be filled, and in others the Governor set aside the registration where it was not agreeable to him." Shout, O ye glorious sticklers for free dom and equality! Bellow till your throats crack! Such a triumph is wor thy of such a party! BETTER NEWS!! Kentucky Speaks!! Immense Majority for the Dem ocratic Candidate ftfr Governor! The glorious old State of Kentucky h'eld her election for Governor and Members of the Legislature, on Mon day last. Hon. John L. Helm, Demo crat, was elected Governor' by an im mense majority, estimated as high as 60,000 ! The Legislature is almost u nanimously Democratic. Following immediately upon the heels of the Tennessee diabolism, this result may he taken as an expression of the indig nation felt by the neighbors of the out raged citizens of that State, in regard to the Brownlow usurpation. Here is the difference: Kentucky is governed by white men, Tennessee is ruled by Negroes; Kentucky goes largely Dem ocratic, Tennessee B. H. Radical. Glorious Kentucky! Poor Tennessee! ttREAT RADICAL VICTORY! Tin* Xigsers Carrj' Tennessee! Beelzebub llrownlimN Itnyoncls Tri umphant. One IlitiMlred and Twenty Five Thous and White Hon Disfranchised ! tiiorious Specimen of Radical Recon struction. Shout, O ye miserable Radicals! Sound the hew-gag! Bang the banjo! Ring the cow-bells! The cloven-foot of Beelzebub Brownlow is again on the necks of the white slaves of Tennessee! As Louis Napoleon "elected" himself Emperor of France, so Brownlow has made himself King of Tennessee. Bay onets in the hands of Negroes, have enabled him to convert his ill-gotten power into a permanent and unlimited despotism. Only 50,000 of the 175,000 white voters of the State, were permit ted to be "registered", whilst 57,000 negro voters were put upon the rolls.* Brownlow's "majority" is less than the Negro vote, showing that the blacks, controlled by bayonets and corruption, are the ruling power in Tennessee. Of course, this was a foregone conclusion. Radical reconstruction must end in the complete Africanization of every State in which it succeeds. Let those rejoice, who can, over such a result. The man who takes pleasure in such a prospect must have a heart as black as the skin of Brownlow's janissaries. Such a man is a traitor to his race, to his country and to his God. "THE OI.D FLAG'S RACK IX TFXXF.S ,NFF!" We find an article on Brownlow's eoup*(Vetat in Tennessee, in a recent number of the Philadelphia Prefix, un der the above caption. The "old flag!" The flag which protected negro slavery in Tennessee, the flag for which Jeff. Davis fought in Mexico, the flag which Massachusetts refused to defend against the British in 1812, is that "old flag" back in Tennessee? Nay, is that "old flag" which has thirty-seven stars up on its field, emblematic of thirty-sev en free and equal States, back in Ten nessee? Alas! no! There is a new flag floating in Tennessee, a flag under whose baleful shadow the tree of liber ty bears no fruit, the black flag of Ne gro supremacy, upheld by the Swiss guards of that worst of Gesslers, the brutal, beastly blackguard Brownlow. Talk about "the old flag!" The edi tor of the Prefix must imagine his read ers to be great fools, indeed, if lie ex pects them to believe that Brownlow ran as a supporter of the "old flag." His banner is black as night, and the skull-and-eross bones of Death consti tute its only emblem. Under such a flag, Old Beelzebub will some day mar shall the supporters of such men as Brownlow, and march them to that nethermost hell, which hot as it may be, ought to be seven times heated, to be a fit receptacle for such ice-hearted traitors to their race and to their coun try. _ TRAITORS! The Radical B. I I'd are just now re joicing over the Negro triumph in Tennessee. They rejoice' that 125,(XX) white men are disfranchised, reduced to slavery, whilst 57,(KM) Negroes are made free and rulers of the State. Re publicans! do you share the fiendish malignity of these Radical demons in human shape, who thus would degrade and destroy your own color and blood? It cannot be! The men who glory in the enslavement of white people through the political elevation of the blacks, are traitors to their tothelr country and to their God! Traitors to their race, because they crush out the political privileges of the whites, whilst they enfranchise the blacks; traitors to their country, because they know that the African race is not capable. of self-government and their supremacy in a large portion of this country will prove its destruction; traitors to their God, because the Creator formed the Negro the intellectual inferior of the White Man, and, therefore, God's pur pose is violated in forcing equality be t.veen the two. Who would be a trai tor to hi 9 race* XOTHISG SURPRISING. Some of the Radical journals seem to be greatly dissatisfied with tne address recently issued by Mr. Jordan, chair man of their State Committee. They are disgusted with the stale cry of "Secession" set up by If? 111 as an argu ment against Judge Sharswood, and regard the whole address as a kind of pitiful twaddle which can result only in injury to their own candidate. The character of Mr. Jordan'saddress, does not astonish us a whit. We be- came acquainted with his style, years j ago, when he was wont to issue his pro nunciamentos to the faithful in this county. Did the Radical editors who complain of his crudities know the man, they would be willing to forgive him. As a matter of news we give the following opinions of Radical newspa pers, in regard to slr. Jordan's address: From the N. Y. Tribune. We cannot endorse the address of the Republican State Committee, in which I Judge Sharswood is attacked with more zeal than discre.ion. He is denounced as the orator of a States rights celebra tion held in the dark ages of 1834, as if an act of 30 years ago could have vital meaning now. The very toasts offer ed by others at the dinner in 1834 are quoted to show that Judge Sharswood is not fit for the office of Chief Justice, and t lie editorials of obscure Democrat ic papers are copied in capital letters, as proof of his sympathy with the rebel lion. The case of Borie against Trott, in which Judge Sharswood decided a gainst the constitutional power of Con gress to make paper money, is also ad vanced as an argument against his elec tion—a purely legal decision, which whether right or wrong, was made sole ly upon JudgeSharswood's understand ing of the law. • We submit that this is not the way in which Pennsylvania should elect her ( chief judicial officers. Such a canvass j should be conducted on the highest ■ ground possible in party rivalry, and i especial care should be taken "not to j drag in the dirt the ermine of justice. The formal decisions of eminent judges upon points of law ought not to be bandied about in appeals to popular passion. The purity and honor of the judiciary are more than a party tri umph. If the decisions of a court are to be the subject of party strife and de bated in stump speeches, we may bid farewell to an independent and fearless judiciary. Hold thejudgc accountable to a political party f >r his construction , of the law, and we inevitably tempt j him to sacrifice his integrity; to become! that meanest of all creatures—a sworn minister of justice, obedient to the die- ; tate of politicians. It is precisely this"i tendency which we fear the Republican i State Com ill it tee of Pennsylvania un consciously encourage, ar.d we would bid them take warning by the wretched j and degraded reputation of thejudica- i ry of this city, in which the courts have become the mere tools of political • clubs. From the Pittsburg Chronicle. It is insulting to the intelligence of | the people of Pennsylvania to say that j in this judicial contest the Democratic party has secession inscribed on its ban ner. We warmly support Judge Wil- ! Bums in this contest, but we will not | even by silence, lend our indorsement to so utterly shameful and unwarranted a charge as the one above quoted. It | is a sign of bad party demoralization when such means are adopted to a- i ehieve success. It is uuerly wrong | and utterly unnecessary. Such things recoil against the men who practice them, aiid cloud even an honest cause with suspicion. Whatever may have been the views of Judge Sharswood thirty-three years ago, it is both absurd , and criminal to say that the right of secession will be an issue in the np proaching election. The Republican : party can go into a canvass upon its own merits and upon actual issues, j without compromising itself by these shabby devices, and we trust no respec table journal in the party will lend itself to such a style of warfare. It is a veritable Mexican business. A CHANCE TO MAK E MONEY.—FIVE HUNDRED AOENTS WANTED TO .SELL THE "YOUTH'S on PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE WAR."— This is the only his tory from a Democratic stand-point, and can be relied on as truthful in every respect. No family should be without it. Also, 500 agents are wanted to sell a work entitled li jVojoque written by Hinton Eou-an lie/per, author of the "Impending Crisis." This work, al though written by a "Republican," and one of Mr. Lincoln's own pets, is worthy the careful perusal of every Democrat and honest "Republican." It stigmatizes the ruling majority in Congress as the "Execrable two thirds majority of the Black Congress" that ought to be despised and spurned by every genuine lover of the pure Caucas ian race. The Negro equality and Ne gro Suffrage question is handled in an able manner by the author. Let every man in this county who is opposed to Despotism, and also the social and po litical equality of the white and black races, secure a copy of each of these works, at the first opportunity. With these works you will be prepared to combat successfully every argument of the White and Black Negro Party in favor of the despotic measures passed by the Black Congress, and of its negro equality doctrine. Those desiring a gencies for either of the aboved named works will please call on MR. E. W. MIL LER, who can be found at the Mengel House, in this place, from the 12th to the 18th of this month. Both works are meeting with very rapul sales, and no young man out of employment can do better than to secure an agency at once. Home and Around. AGENTS FOB THE GAZETTE. We haYe appointed S.

BASE BALL—MATCH GAME.— On Thursday last, first inst., a match game at base ball, was played by the first nine of the Resolute Base Bali Club and the first nine of the Bedford Base Ball Club, both of this place.
