READ! l'onnsylvami" (o be Reconstructed ! Her Government Xot Kefiiibliean ! Tlie Su in 11 or-K el ley Negro Equality bill to be I'axsed at Once. Judge Williams to Enforce It. The East Disguise Cast Aside! If there is a man in Pennsylvania who still doubts that the Radicals are determined to force Sumner's universal negro suffrage and negro equality bill through at the next session of Congress, to him especially do we commend a pe rusal of the account of the "Equal Rights Meeting" at Wilmington, Dela ware, as reported at length in Forney's Press of yesterday. The assemblage is said to have been large, and the special reporter of the Press exhausts tiie vo vocabulary in describing the exciting scenes of the occasion. We make the following extracts : (Special Correspondence of the Press.] WILMINGTON, September 4. The largest political meeting ever held in the State of Delaware assembled yesterday at Wilmington, to demand the recogn it ion by law, over all the country, of the entire equality of all American citi zens in all civil and political rights, with out regard, to color , and to appoint dele gates'to a Convention of the Rorder States, to be held at Raltimore on the 13th instant, to solicit the passage by Congress of the Sumner- Keiley bill estab lishing impartial suffrage throughout the whole Union. The vast assemblage convened in and overflowed the large hall of the Wil mington Institute, and was called to order at twelve o'clock. After the appointment of a long list of officers, part negroes and part white men, the Press goes on to say: A list of a hundred delegates to the coining Convention at Raltimore was then read by Samuel Bancroft, Jr., Esq., and unanimously adopted, a third of the delegates chosen being colored men, about six hundred of whom were present at the meeting. The following resolutions as read l>y Mr. Harrington, were received with the greatest enthusiasm, and adopted by acclamation, the whole audience ris ing to their feet: Resolved, That the theory of our gov- j eminent, the claims of impartial jus-! tice, the equal rights of citizens, and the j loyalty and faithful services ot the col ored people, demand that the right of j suffrage shad be extended to them in com mon with alt other hnjal citizens ; and we ' respectfully petition Congress to confer and secure this right at the earliest possi ble period, by siu'lv legislation as they may deem right and appropriate. Resolved, That in the Stale of Dela ware there does not exist a Republican form of government because of the exclu sion of a large number of her colored citi zens from participation in the enjoyment and exercise of political rights, and be cause of the gross inequality of repre sentation in the Legislature, whereby less than one halfof the citizens wield the power of the State. We hereby call upon Congress to assure to us the guarantees of the Constitution of the United States in every particular. Resolved, That we demand (he recogni tion by law of the entire equality of all A merican citizens, without regard to color, in all civil and political rights and privileges, and the protection and en couragement of the Government to en able every man to occupy whatever position his virtues and intelligence may qualify him to hold. John Andrew Jackson Cress well, of Maryland, an ex-United States Senator, made a long and exceedingly Radical speech, demanding that the Sumner- Kelley bill be passed at the very begin ning of the next Session of Congress. He took the ground that no State which refused the negroes a vote or the right to hold office could be said to have a republican form of government, and expressed the firm conviction that the next Congress would at once pass a law abolishing every distinction between the races in every State of the Union. A prominent Radical Congressman from Pennsylvania followed the blus teringex-Senator from Maryland. We give the Press, report of bow he was re ceived and what he said: The colored band of Wilmington then played "Hail to the Chief," when the president, amidst a perfect storm of i enthusiasm, introduced Hon. William | D. Kelley, member of Congress from j Philadelphia, the colored portion of the ] audience especially rising to their feet \ and giving nine cheers for the Judge, whom, since his Southern tour, they seem to consider their especial spokes j man in the halls of Congress. The Judge said he cou Id nothelpthink iug how rapidly the world does move I and how good old John Brown's soul is leading it on. He hoped that some one of the distinguished delegates just appointed to attend the Border States' Convention would bear to it a message Irom him, viz: that he endorsed every j word of the admirable resolutions re ported by his friend General Harring- ! ton. He saw early in the war that it j was the duty of the Government toral- ' ly all of its citizens around its flag, and to allow all to peril their lives in its do- j fence. From the beginning of our great j conflict he saw that an imperilled coun try needed the aid of four millions of its j most robust citizens, and felt that the Almighty would not allow victory to j perch upon our banners till we at last did justice to our American citizens of African descent. And now we need the political power of these four millions of people, as we needed their military power before. Without their aid we cannot reconstruct a single loyal State in theSouth. Some ti me a state govern ment must be organized there. We can not send;white men there because they do not want to go,and ifthey did 11 °y would hasslly be welcomed by the.r white j brethren. But in all those States there are brave and true men, who all , through the war perilled their lives in gallantly serving their country in their humble way. But it is said these black heroes are ignorant. How many of the "white gentry" (?) of theSouth are the reverse? The last census shows that j in Virginia alone7o.ooo whites don't no B. from a bull's foot." So in all the other States of the ex-Confederacy.— Yet these ignoramuses are to be cloth ed with all political privileges, rebs as i tlu-y are, because tliey are white. Judge Keiley logically reviewed the present State of Southern society, illus j trating by the experience of his late i tour, through the reconstructed region, the necessity of impartial suffrage as the sole remedy for the political evils now afflfeting the Southern people.— llv believed that, in the logical con me of j events, the colored man would, hi/ the gear 1870, vote in both Mary/and and Delaware. He refered to a speech made by him as long since as February, 1866, advocating the constitutional right of the Congress to regulate suffrage in all the States, and supported the positions then assum ed by him with ample legal arguments, i He next took up and considered the re j lations of the labor question to that of I suffrage, showing their intimate con ! nection and the importance to the I Northern laboring man of the adoption jof principles of civil justice. Ry his well-known mixture of wit, logic and sarcasm, the Judge carried con\ iction to many previously doubting minds on this important branch of the suffrage question, and was repeatedly greeted" with loud applause, lie then resum ed : The hour of triumph will come to the loyal men of the Rorder States long before it is expected. The tine arts, the mechanical arts and religion itself, are all the on side of right. No poet ever sung the praises of slavery; no painter limns on his canvas the gran deur of tyranny; no sculptor perpetua tes in marble the wrong-doer or the op pressor. God and nature are on our side. 1 1 e have de/ermined that the bond man ', his broken shuc ■ les yet clinging to him, shall vote, shall eider /he jury box, and shall hare all (he rights of a citizen. The North and South have alike en tered on a new and grander march of progress, but our work is even greater than the regeneration of our own bright land. The eyes of all Europe are upon us, and the struggling millions of the Old World begin to realize that what A merica is doing, England, France and Italy may do. Let us then cheer and gladden the hearts of the oppressed ev ery where, and make our land in the future, as in the past, the lode-star to which all lovers of liberty will be at tracted. The Judge closed amidst great enthu siasm, and after three tremendous | cheers for Keiley, the convention, on motion of General Harrington, adjourn- I cd sine die. Comment upon the above account i would he superflu' >us. None is needed. The resolutions speak for the Radicals of Pennsylvania as well as for those of 1 Delaware. The Keystone and the little Diamond State are in the same boat. In the estimation of Congress neither of them has a republican form of gov ernment. They will both be recon- j structed by the Sumner-Kelley bill, unless Radicalism receives a check in this State at the coming election. The Yankee Judge Williams is a firm be liever in the high-flown rhapsodies in- 1 dulged in by Hill Kelley. He is pledged to decide the Sumner-Keliey bill to be constitutional and binding on every election officer in Pennsylvania. He will not deny that charge. No Repub lican paper dare deny it for him. It is i part and parcel of the plan of the pres ent political campaign. The Republi can press in different parts of the State have so announced it. The issue is fairly and squarely made up, and it must be boldly met. Nothing can pre vent the passage of a biil making all the negroes of Pennsylvania the full political and social equals of the whites, except the election of Judge Shars wood. Even that may not be sufficient to deter Congress;-but with him upon the bench of our Supreme Court the j obnoxious law could not be enforced. We hope every Democrat will put this article into the hands of his Re-j publican neighbors. They might not believe what we say, but they cannot i refuse to credit Forney's Press and 1 Judge Kelley's speech.— Lancaster In- \ telligencer. INUiITICA I. KKACTIOV. The conservative triumph in Califor nia, which in 1804 gave a radical ma jority of 20,000, evinces, we trust, the beginning of a reaction from the un founded assumptions and excesses of j ultraism which it is to be hoped will j extend throughout tlie country. It is true that the radical party was divided | on the Governor, but the general result, j including the Legislature and Con j gressmcn, cannot be ascribed to the split upon the Governor, or even if it ; be admitted that personal issues and ! discords are already obtaining such as cendancy over party discipline in Hie radical ranks as to produce such results as we see in California, it is a symptom i of elements of disintegration and de cline within itself which is of hopeful augury to the best interests ofthecoun ! try. Itisevident, however, that broad j er issues than those of a personal char | acter hav<? revolutionized this impor ! taut western State, and that whilst the j ' result is not indicative ot a mere party j reaction, or of any tendency to revive | ! political ideas which belong to a state j 'of things that has passed away, it is a j | distinct and emphatic condemnation ■ by men of all parties of the false politi-1 | cal theories, extravagant assumptions j i and wild experiments in government which ultraism has endeavored to build on the changed state of things brought about by the war. No State has ex hibited or can claim greater devotion j to the Union or a firmer purpose to j abide by the legitimate consequences of the war than California, but thesignifi c.iyice of the late surprising revolution is in its expression of the idea that the interests of country are superior to those of party,andthatany party which jeopards and sacrifices the welfare of the country for political purposes is un worthy of public confidence. The result in California is the more remarkable because it was achieved not only without, but against, the oi fice-holding patronage and influence, s Without and against the action of these VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5,410. powerful agencies, and with very little of disciplined organization, the people of California have overcome the hereto fore large radical majority in that State, and emphatically declared against the destructive spirit which has so long pre vailed in the national legislature, and which is threatening to go to still great er extremes. The diminished radical majorities in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and now in Maine, the conservative triumph in Connecticut, and the signal political revolution in California, encourage the hope that a turn of the tide of popular sentiment has begun in the North and West which will end in the redemption of the country from the ruinous coun sels which have hitherto been iu the ascendant. It is to be hoped that these results will animate conservatives in the elections about to come off in the TTiddle States to jnake a powerful struggle for the deliverance of those States from radical misrule, and for the consumamtion of a triumph which will preserve the constitution, restore the Union in fact, as well as in name, and give peace and prosperity to the land. The people of the United States are heartily tired of turmoil and dis order and the paralyzing effects upon all the great interests of the country, which bid fair to become chronic, un less the popular voice shall be heard in such tones of condemnation as will compel Congress to change its destruc tive policy.— llattimove >Snn. EKV V ! K:lifiil l'.liort (> iluiubiig; lax-jwj'i'rs! lip) Ihe I'pojdc Road! The Ilarrisburg Telegraph makes a "big blow" abdut a reduction of the Slate debt. It claims that $1,794,644 have been paid in one year without collect ing one single dollar from the farmer and mechanic in the shape of tax on his Ileal Estate. It neglects to state how ever, in what other shape the tax has been levied and collected. Geary, Kemble and Ilartranft have not paid that amount from their private pock ets,and there is not the remotest proba bility that the shoddy thieves advan ced the money, it is not true, howev ever, that not a doliar of this amount was collected as a tax upon real estate. In 18GG an act was passed remitting the real estate tax, but there is no evidence that it has been discontinued. There is abundant evidence, however, that the taxes upon the people—the "mechanic and farmer" included—have been more than doubled during the past year. These same parties—who now an nounce this reduction of the State debt —lately sent requisitions to the various county authorities for amounts of mon ey aggregating (judging from the a mounts claimed from Berks, York, Fayette, Allegheny, Indiana and West moreland) fully two million dollars (s2,ooo,lThis, they said, was to be paid in lieu of the real estate tax for 1 SOU and ISG7. Theadditional sum thus demanded amounts, for each of those years, to nearly the total of the origi nal levy, and the whole sum for both years will have to be paid during the present year. To do this a new tax levy will have to be made. The State otli cialscan well pay off $1,704,041 of the .State debt out of the $3,000,000 in the Treasury, when they have so good a prospect of getting $2,000,000, before the year is out, by means of an extra tax levy. By that time, however, the people will have learned, to their cost how State debts are reduced under itadical otiiciuis. Those who paid real estate tax from 1805 to the present time know that there has been no reduction in their taxes. When they come to pay during this year, the extra levy for ISGG and ISG7, they will discover, al so, that their taxes have been more than doubled over 18(44 and l$G~. Not only are the people required to pay in extra taxes the whole sum thus denominated a "reduction of the State debt," but they are required to make up, in the same way, about three hund red thousand dollars lbr increased sal aries authorized by the late corrupt Legislature; about one million dollars for sums squandered in contracts and donations to political favorites by the same body, and about half a million dollars lost to the State on the twenty thee million loan, by paying six per cent, interest on untaxed bonds to take up taxed bonds of the State bearing live per cent, interest. It is entirely too late in the day to set up a claim of good management in fi nances for Radical officials—State or Federal. The people have a constant refutation of the claim in the vast bur den of taxation under which they are wearily plodding, and, whilst comforts are abridged and all luxuries are de barred the majority of the working classes, it will require something more tangible than words to convince them that the Radical State administration is a success. When the people feel re lieved, they will not need to he told that their burdens have been lightened.—Pa triot & Union.

In one of her letters to the Chambers burg depository, (Radical), Mrs. Swiss helm gave the followingas her estimate ot the Radical candidate for the Su preme Court. It may be premised I that Mrs. S. is a thorough-going Radi cal, a shrewd observer, and probably as good a judge of mental abilities and stamina as any one of her sex in public life: it appears to he an acknowledged fact that the Pittsburg bar is to-day as little burdened with brains as at any period since it was a bar—and no bet ter evidence of its appreciation of res pectable mediocrity could beollered than the selection of Judge Williams for the Supreme Pencil, in '4l and '42, when he was a law student in the office of Judge Cowrie, 1 had some business in settling my father's estate. Judge Lowne was my attorney. Going to the office one day, 1 found him explain ing to Mr. Williams and another stu dent a point of law, and he asked me to sit down and wait. T silt down and had the benefit of the explanation; heard the questions propounded by Mr. Williams and the other, and the going over and simplifying the case by the teacher. I sat in tffank amazement, wondering it that little man ever, ever, EVEN, would get enough law into iiis head to make any kind of living by letting it out in quantities to suit cus tomers; but he is sober, industrious, patient, and plodding, and after all bis dullness of comprehension, did learn a good deal of law, and I think that iu any case which was well established by precedent, and which had been care fully and lucidly explained, and sim plified, lie could understand it, and would decide according to the best of his knowledge and belief. When be comes to a new field of investigation, the saints have com passion on the poor, fat, short, puffy man. What a time lie would have wading, floundering— and what a muddle he would be likely to mukeot it! A man of active brains would not bo likely to run quite as much to that substance most valuable in whales, and ifthe Republican party of Pennsylvania have no Utter material out of which to manufacture a Supreme Judge than Hon. W. W., or H. W., or W. something of Pittsburg, they hail Utter rote J'or the Democratic candidate, whoever he may he, on the (/round that they cannot be worsted. In contrast with this notice of Judge Williams, of Connecticut, from one who, like him, is attached to the prin ciples of the Radical party, we present the following tribute to Judge Sliars wood, of Pennsylvania, from the pen of Hon. F. B. Penniman, of the Pitts burgh (iazetle, a leading Radical organ in the Western part of the State: . In nominating Judge Sharswood, as their candidate for the Supreme bench, the Democrats have made, a wise selec tion-tax themselves during the progress of the canvass, and for the people of the whole Common wealth in ase he should be elected. He is as suitable a man for the place as they could have brought forward. Naturally of sound and dis criminating judgment, his faculties have been matured by thorough study ami a large and varied experience. His reputation as a man is unblemish ed. 1 mleed, he is a consistent and hon ored office-bearer in the Presbyterian church. A* a magistrate, a suspicion of unfairness or partiality has never been raised against him. Who auk the Rkuels.'— The Radi cal journals think it is a very smart thing 1 to speak of the forty or fifty thousand Democrats and Conservatives who have just voted against Republi canism in Kentucky as the' rebel" ma jority, but they may rest assu ed the day has gone by when that silly dis play of partizan malice will deceive anybody. The truth is, there are no rebels in this country except the Radi cals. Jeff. Davis never was a worse rebel at heart than, for example, the members of the Rump Congress who voted the other day to exclude Ken tucky members from their seats. The rebels, in arms, fought to dissolve the Cnion, but they did their work openly and above-board—not in the sneaking, hypocritical way affected by the Radi cal rebels, who, with eulogies of the Union eternally upon their lips, are ex erting all their energies to keep that Union divided. —JV. )'. Repress. That's so! TAX PAYER! your attention to the following figures, the correctness of which cannot be truthfully denied nor -uccessfully contradicted : Co.-l of the Legislature of 1807, 8-0.3,801 10 Cost of the Legislature of ISI7, 42,270 1!) $223,584 97 Behold this difference, tax payers!— Your Legislature of 1807, with John W. Geary as Governor, has cost you just $223,4 M 97 more than did your Legisla ture of 1847, with Francis R. Shunk as Governor. Think of it, ye tax-burden ed voters of Bed ford county, and remem ber that Wellerand Richards, who now seek a re-election at your hands, voted for this enormous increased expendi ture of your hard earned taxes. To KEEP POTATOES.—A correspon dent of th e Scientific American says tli.it he has tried the following method of keeping potatoes for years with com plete success, though in some instances the tubers were diseased when taken out of the ground :—"l)ust the floor of the bin with lime, and put in about six j or seven incfies of potatoes and dust with lime as before. Put six or seven inches of potatoes and lime again; re i peat the operation until all are stow ed away. One bushel of lime will do for forty bushels of potatoes, though more will not hurt them—the lime rather improving the flavor than other ! wise." | LAW FOB LADIES. —In the year of I grace 1770, a law was enacted by the English Parlament: "That whoever shall seduce into the bonds of matrimo ny any of ids Majesty's male subjects, by the use of scent, cosmetics, paints, washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Span ish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, or bolstere i hips, shall be prose cuted for witchcraft, and the marriage declared to be null and void." How would such a law work in these latter J days—in this year of our Lord 1807'. I Think of it, oh, ye women !
