tion as gold had been before. By the act of Febuary 21,1853, much more con siderable reduction was made in the weight of silver coins, less than the dollar, but evidently only for the pur pose ofsupplyinga subsidiary currency, for small payments; for by the same act it was provided that the silver coins issued in conformity thereto should be legal tenders in payment of debts for all sums not exceeding five dollars. I have no doubt that all this tampering with the coin was unwise and unjust. Whatever may l>e the advantages of a double standard they are too dearly pur chased by the frequently recurring ne cessity for these changes. But I do not see that there was, in any of these instances, a criminal breach of public faith or an intention to interfere with private contracts. In 1834, the public debt had been recently liquidated in full, and at the period of none of these measures was anything to be gain ed by the government from them, but rather the reverse. 11. There is another important differ ence between the two measures of de basing the coin and issuing paper mon ey. When an act is passed debasing the coin, all the mischief is done. On the day following, the prices of all market* adjust themselves to the new standard. Commodities, real or personal, lands or chattels, are exactly the same ex changeable value as before; the only difference being that their value is ex pressed in different figures. An ounce : of gold will still buy the same number of bushels of wheat whether it is coin ed into twenty pieces called dollars, or forty pieces. True, debtors are richer at the expense of their creditors. But that gross injustice also is finished. Every man, creditor or debtor, capitalist or laborer, knows exactly where he stands. Not so with paper money. As to all j existing contracts, the same and even worse injustice is done, if the paper depreciates, than when the coin is de based. All equality is at an end. To- 1 day an.an pays at onediscount, to-mor he receives at another. There is in truth no standard of value whatever. The pa per money varies like the mercury in the barometer acted on by thesuperin cumbent column of air, swayed to and fro by the tides of the atmosphere— j now high, now low —now rarefied, now condensed. Thus, as confidence J rises or falls,but more certainly as issues are increased or contraeted, the value j of every man's property —and the real price of his labor, what he can procure for it of the necessaries and comforts of life, fluctuates from day to day. This was just what the men of the Revo lution who met in the Federal Con vention— who assembled in the State j Conventions and ratified the constitu tion, had not merely heard with their ears, but seen with their own eyes, ! touched and handled with their own hands, and felt in their own pockets. They had not the ad vantage of reading the same history repeated in the paper ; money of rovolutionary France. But they needed it not. They had quite e nough in their own experience to make them determine to deal an effectual death blow a' paper money. On the whole, then, I am'of the opin ion that the provisions of the act of j Congress of February 20, 1862, declar- j ing the notes is ued in pursuance of that act to be lawful money and a legal ; tender is unconstitutional. This renders it unnecessary that I should consider the other question, which has been made as to the effect of 1 the special agreement to pay in lawful ; silver money of the United States. J atn in favor of entering judgment for : the plaintiff, but as a majority of the ' . Court are of a different opinion, judg- j ment for the defendant. 1 W&t iUulfcml ißmttt Friday Morn in;-.....

HENRY IV. \VI 1.1.1 A MS. The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands upon a platform, in which occurs the following language: "Resolved , That warned by past misfortunes, we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be placed in harmony with the political opinions ot a m jority of the people." Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar biter between the weak and the strong, between minorities and majorities, is to be swayed by polit ical bias against the rights ot that portion f)i the people who may happen to be in the minority. Have minorities no rights which majorities are bound to respect ? Nay, are not the fewest num ber of people lawyers, or jurists, and is not often the smallest minority right, on questions of law, rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju dicial education ? Who, therefore, could trust a man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude opinions of the mob ? Again, HENRY W. WILLIAMS is the candidate of a party which holds that a man may repudiate his contract to pay a debt in gold and silver, by paying the same in paper money, thus actually making Government b.uds worth no more than ordinary paper money. This is re pudiation. Who, therefore, will vote for 11. W. Williams, and become a repmliatiouist ? iH H H THE Gettysburg Compiler has been en larged and typographically improved.

The Word "Willie" lo lie Stricken from (lie Constitution! -\egr SnfTrase to be FORCER | 1,011 Our I People, without their Consent ! The Harris!.urg Telegraph, of a re cent date, has the following significant anil startling editorial: "a general act of congress ox the SUFFKAGE QUESTION. "The opinion of thinking men, of statesmen and philanthropists, is fast closing strongly on the subject of se curing (he passage of a general law of Congress, regulating the suffrage question in all the iStafes of the Union. Congress fixes the status of citizenship—the period at which a native born arrives at the rights of citizenship—the period for naturalization—and Congress an questionably, is the proper power for de- 1 Jiuing the rights of (he black num. to the | elective franchise in the several States. — j j Congress, in order to promote harmony j of action in political contests, and do | away with the unjust discriminations, ; which are practised by the States on : this subject, should at its next session j | act upon its unquestionable Const it ut io- j ! not authority by adjusting this vexed ques tion throughout the nation, by doing jus j tice to men who add to the productive j wealth of the country in periods of j peace, and who in time of war have j shown their ability and willingness to peril their lives in the defense of the : Government. j "At the session of Congress last Spring, Mr. Sunnier introduced a bill in the Senate providing for the adjust ment of the franchise question insever :al States. There is no doubt whatever ! that Congress, when it meets next Xovem ! her, will pass at an early day a general net i applying to the whole country, and estab i fishing throughout the nation the right of ' ad American citizens to rote, without any i exclusion on account of complexion.— I This will be a most potent and prompt remedy for the di rticu I ties in all North | ern States. In several the Republi j cans hesitate to raise the issue in behalf of colored suffrage. It is a question which, ifdebated, State by State, must ! arouse all the old and buried prejudices ' of the vulgar and ignorant. To achieve justice for all their citizens, by local ac tion, mpst be slow, tedious and uncertain: But when Congress exercises its pow er, the effect is prompt and unimpeded. A general law will cut the Gordian inot ami settle the issue finally." The Telegraph is the central organ of the Radical party in this State, and, | I therefore, must be taken as the mouth- : ! piece of that organization. Hence, we ; I learn from the above quoted article, j that it is the purpose of the Radical leaders, to FORCE Xegro Suffrage and the Political Equality of Whites and Blacks, upon the people of Pennsylva nia, WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, j The editor of the Telegraph knows, as well as he knows that he lives and breathes, that Congress has no right whatever to do this, and vet he talks i of the "unquestionable Constitutional \ authority" of that body in the premi ses! Are the people so blind and be sotted that they will hearken unto so deliberate and shameless a falsehood? For, it is not merely a perversion of the meaning and intent of the Federal Constitution, but wilful and cold-blood ed misrepresentation of the language and spirit of that instrument. WiU the people, then, vote for HENRY j W. WILLI A MS, who is pledged by his party platform, to decide in favor of] the Congressional usurpation which is to force Negro Suffrage upon our Com- . monwealth ? To be fore-warned is to ] be fore-armed! Let every man who is ' opposed to the political equality of Whites and Biaeks, who would not j stand by the side of Negroes at the Polls or sit with them in the Jury Box, ; cast his ballot against the candidate of the Radical party. The Board of Commissioners, Audi tors and Directors are now ail Demo crats. We call upon the honest masses to rise above party this fall, and vote for the good of the public for the Re publican nominees, it is time to have a change.— lnquirer. You "call upon the honest masses to rise above party this Fall!" Eh ? Do you, indeed? You call upon them to vote your own party ticket! What a sacrifice you must have made when you uttered that "call!" Do you ask them to "rise above party," when they come to cast their ballots for members of the Legislature? Do you tell them now, as you did three months ago, that the last legislatuie, was the most cor rupt body that ever assembled, and tiiat "another such a legislature would sink us?" Do you tell them, that in view of the acknowledged corruption of that body, they should rise above party and vote for honest men? Do you tell them that your candidates, Weller and Richards, were members of that body and voted for almost ev ery one of the corrupt measures which have rendered it infamous? Oh! no! The quietest of quiet little mice could not be as still on that subject as the ed itors of the Bedford Inquirer. But they will discover after the next elec tion, that, with all their quietness, they can't nibble themselves into the public cheese. The people cannot be hum bugged by their great pretentions to honesty. Mr. Gutfy, of Westmoreland county, once said of John Cessna, when the latter was boasting of his Democra cy," 1 have always observed that the cow that bawls the loudest forgets her calf the soonest!" The public will apply Mr. Gutfy's observation to the profes sions of the Inquirer in regard to coun ty affairs, and will, doubtless, come to the c inclusion that that cow bawls a little too loud to care much about its calf. MOCCASIN TRACKS! A Mi:nicies* Trick of the Radical State Committee! j Judgrc Sliar-swood's <;■-,( Decision tiar blcd ami Misrepresented! We have just unearthed a circular of the Radical State Committee, which makes garbled extracts from the great decision of Judge Sharswood, and di rects the Radical papers of the State to publish them as standing matter until the election, thus intending to deceive the honest citizen into voting against the eminent jurist who is the nominee of the Democracy. The circular is as follows: IN lON REPUBLICAN STATE COM. ROOMS. ) No. 22 iV. 2 d Street. .' HARHISBUKG, PA., August 10, 1567. ) j Dear Sir:—The enclosed slip has been prepared by direction oftheCom mittee;and itisearnestly recommended : that every Republican paper in the I State shall give it a conspicuous inser | tion, and keep it as standing matter itn ! tit the election. We are unable to pay i for this; but hope our papers will con form to our wishes, out of love for the j \ cause. We expect you to confer with the i publishers in your county, and so far j as practicable, have the desired puhli-j cation made. F. JORDAN, Chairman. Geo. W. Hamersly, ) 0 „, , . j J. Rorley Dunglison, j ' metanes * The "enclosed slip" will be found at the editorial head of the Bedford In- quiver of last week, and will, of course, 1 do duty there "until the election," as ! directed by Fr. Jordan. By such j tricks do the Radicals hope to influence public opinion. If they want t lie peo ple to know and understand Judge j Sharswood's decision, why don't they publish it entire? It will be found on our outside, this week, in full. Let the Inquirer copy it, if it dare, and a tone, in some measure, for the mean trick of which the Radical Committee is guilty, in publishing a "prepa-ed slip" intended to deceive the people. XIXiKO STATES. Did any decent "Republican" ever i dream that his party would make NEGRO STATES often States of this i once free white Republic? Incredible |as it may seem, this has been done! Tennessee is now ruled by a Governor elected by Negro votes. Every South ern State under the rule of the "re-con struction" Satraps, is negroized, the greater portion of the whites being dis franchised and the blacks, to a man, made voters. Negroes sit on juries in those States, to the exclusion of the most intelligent of the whites. This is the God's truth, and no "Republican" of ordinary intelligence will attempt to deny that it is true. Is this what "Republicans" expected at the hands of their party? Did they vote for Xe gro States f Did the two hundred thous and white soldiers who went from Penn sylvania to risk their lives and their all in the late war, fight for a BLACK EM PIRE IN THE SOUTH? Let these questions be pondered and answered by the fair-minded and honest masses of the "Republican" party, before they cast their votes once more for the men who have betrayed them. THE Negroes of Pennsylvania recent ly held a "State Convention," at Head ing. That white Nigger, E. 11. Rauch, editor ofa Radical paper in Reading, addressed the "Convention," and said in the course of his remarks, that he "thanked God that not one-tenth of the criminals of the State are colored men!" The dirty knave did not stop to tell his sable heare.s, that the "colored" popu lation of Pennsylvania, is not the one tenth part, nor tiie one-fiftieth part, either, of the entire number of the in habitants of the State, and, therefore, couldn't well furnish the one-tenth part of its criminals. Was there ever a meaner, slimier, fouler traitor to his own race and blood, than the man who could utter a sentiment like the above? The Negroes, under the dictation of fellows like this Rauch, passed a reso lution recommending the blacks of the South to vote as a body with the Radi cals. Do the Africans of Pennsylvania want to array the Democrats against their race? Do they want to make enemies of three hundred thousand vo ters in this State, many of them their protectors and friends? If so, let them stick to their Reading resolution. Just think of it, if by reason of over sight, and errors in the accounts of the Poor House, eight or ten thousand dol lars can leak out, in spite of all the ef forts of three Democratic Directors and three Democratic Auditors and a Dem ocratic Poor House Clerk, Ac., how much may have leaked out in the Coun ty accounts?— lnquirer. "Still harpingoll my daughter!" It so happens that between THREE and FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS "leaked out" during the time of Messrs SHUCK and TROUT, Republican Di rectors, part of it during the time of Henry B. Mock, as Auditor, who now leads the Radical party in St. Clair tp., and that the Poor House Clerk was ap pointed by a Republican hoard. By all means, let the dear people accom modate the Inquirer by ousting the pre sent Democratic board who discovered and corrected the "leaks" which com menced under the Republican Direc tors. That would only be Radical jus tice. '•SOI'XD. PRACTICAL MF.X!" Tlicy ••Will Make Simml and Reliable Offi cers J" The Bedford Inquirer, of June 21, 18- 07, in an article criticising the Demo cratic County Ticket, thus spoke in re gard to the gentlemen composing that ticket: "The Copperhead County Convention assembled in this place on last Tuesday and put in nomination a ticket to be supported by them at the coming elec tion. The nominees are for District Attorney. E. F. Kerr, of Bedford; Treasurer, Isaac Mengel, of Bedford ; County Commissioner, Peter M. Bar ton, of East Pjroviclenee; Poor Director, John I. Noble, of South Wood berry, and Auditor, Samuel Whip, of Cumberland Valley. This is about the best ticket that has been put in nomination by that party for some years. All the men are sound practical men and will make good and reliable officers. It is evident that the country for once got theadvan tage of the town, and the leaders here were foiled in their efforts to secure the usual creatures who are entirely sub servient to them. We claim some cred it for this deviation from the usual course of nominating men without bus iness (pi I ideations for the offices of Commissioner, Poor Director and Aud itor. It will be acredit to the candi dates putin nomination by the Repub lican party to defeat or be defeated by such men." * Yes, you may well say, Mr. Inquirer, that the Democratic candidates are "sound, practical men and will make good and reliable officers." Such men as Isaac Mengel, Ik F. Kerr, Peter M. .Barton, John I. Noble and Samuel Whip are eminently worthy of the compliment you bestow upon them. And as you think it "a credit" to your candidates to be defeated by them, the people will take great pleasure in con ferring that "credit" upon your whole ticket, from top to bottom. Of course, the worse your ticket is beaten, by our candidates, the more "credit" will at tach to the persons composing it. Hence, as we have a great desire to do those persons much "credit," we shall do all in our power to beat them as bad ly as possible. Hurrah for the "Sound, Practical" Ticket, say we! TIIE Radical papers are in a great stew over the article said to have been published in the Salem (Mass.) Journal, denunciatory of the "Pennsylvania Dutch," and deny that the article ap peared in that paper or any other pub lished in Salem. Well, itdoesn't matter whether that article was published in a Salem paper, or in some other New England sheet, and since the New York Tribune has taken up the cudgels a gainst the "Pennsylvania Dutch," it matters but little whether it was pub lished at all. We will substitute the Tribune for the "Salem Journal." That organ of Radicalism (the Tribune) re cently had an article in which it spoke of certain counties of Ohio, as having been settled by a "school-fading, rum loving breed of Pennsylvania Dutch," of whose politics it professes a holy horror. If tli cPennsylvania Dutch in this neigh borhood love the Radicalism which thus brands them with ignominy, so much as to swallow such insults, they will get plenty of that sort of diet in due time. WHENEVER you hear of a man grumbling about the ticket, objecting to this candidate or that candidate, you may be sure that his Democracy isn't skin deep, and that he only wants an excuse to serve the enemy. In these times, when the Jacobin conspirators against the liberties of our country, are busily plotting to make slaves of all who will not worship at their po litical shrine, the Democrat who stops to higgle about personal objections to Democratic candidates, who halts to throw his own private grudges into the balance against lus party ticket, cares more for the gratification of his own little spite than for the success of the principles he professes. The ballot is a sacred thing. It is not merely a slip of printed paper. It represents principles. It is the embodiment of ideas. Shame 011 the man that would permit his private grudges to interpose between him and the principles which he professes before all the world ! Is it not time that there should be some change? For eleven years they have been running the trains, would it not be well to switch off and try a new set of engineers? At least a few Republican brakesmen would not do any harm. They inightstop the con cern somewhat when it is running out very fast. —Inquirer. Yes, indeed! A few "Republican brakesmen" like the editor of the In quirer, wlio wanted to pay olf his tax duplicate as Collector of Middle Wood berry township by borrowing the mon ey out of the County Treasury, would be very apt to "stop the concern some what." They would be "brakesmen" with a vengeance! They would break the "concern" in less than no time. UNCLE JACOB ZKIGLER, whilom Clerk of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg, after many years' ab sence from the editorial chair, has re turned to his ancient vocation, and is now the senior editor of the Butler Ilerahl , a paper of which, we believe, he was the founder. "Uncle Jake" is a spicy editor and will make Radical ism tremble in old Butler. Good luck to you, Editor Zeigler! TO H'OKK ! We are informed that the enemies of the Constitution, are secretly at work, through committees appointed by the chairman of the Radical County Com mittee, organizing their forces for the coming election. They have selected throe men in each township, whose du ty it is to collect money for campaign purposes, talk to the doubtful and wa vering and make arrangements to get their voters out to the polls. By working (juicf/y they expect to steal a march on us. Democrats must not be thus caught napping. Organize your townships and election districts! Do not wait for meetings and speeches, hut begin at once! We must increase the majority of last Fall. Every year should add to our strength. Let every district be or ganized and ready to contribute its share to the increased majority. THE Bedford Inquirer will have it that Democratsare rebels, and publishes some manufactured statements about individual Democrats in Kentucky, to sustain its opinion. Well, we pre sume that such "loyal" folks as Mr. J. It. Jordan and other candidates on the Radical county ticket, don't want "reb els" to vote for them. We advise some of these candidates not to link arms quite so much with the pesky "rebels," lest they come under the ban of the Inquirer. WE call attention to tin; great deci sion of Judge Sharswood, in the case of Boric vs. Trott, published in this issue. No man can read that decision without being convinced of its soundness. Read it and hand to your neighbor.
