IIKV ItV W. WILLIAMS,
The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon & 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 of the
peopl * 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 binds worth
no more than ordinary paper money. This is re
pvdiation. Who, therefore, will vote for H. W.
Williams, and become a repudiationist ?

The Great Reaction.
The elections in Connecticut, Califor
nia, Maine and Montana, foreshadow
the speedy downfall of radicalism. The
old tricks of the party, such as the cry
of "copperhead," "traitor," &c., have
lost their power. The crisis in public
affairs has come. Either the Radical
party, or the country itself, must ex
pire in the throes of dissolution. To
the extravagance,corruption,licentious
ness and want of statesmanship, mani
fested in that party, do the people owe
the intolerable burthen of debt under
which they groan. The taxation is
enormous, partial, injudicious. A
tariff devised by Yankee manufacturers,
paralyzes the commerce of the country
and heavily taxes the overburthened
poor. The South is cursed by an un
wise and unjust cotton tax. The
holders of bonds, who made fortunes
out of the miseries of the country, are
exempt from taxation, while the far
mer and laborer are made to bear its
heavy weight. Our revenue laws are
so framed that honest men are com
pelled to bear ever increasing burthens,
or abandon employments in which they
had invested their capital, while dis
honest ones escape their share of Fed
eral taxation. There is unpardonable
waste in collecting the revenues and
flagrant extravagance in their expendi
ture.
Under the unhappy rule of Radical
ism, we behold Disunion and discord
in the nation, liberty almost extinguish
ed, the Constitution of our fathers
trampled under foot, peculation and
plunder the order of the day, in State
and national legislatures, the revolted
States, after their submission, given
over to the despotism of the military
and to the domination of laws that
would disgrace the legislation of Apache
Indians. No wonder that an injured
and indignant people are rising on ev
ery hand to drive the money changers
out of the temple of American liberty.
Amnesty!
On our outside will be found the Proc
lamation of Freedom lately issued by
President Johnson. The half million,
or more, of white men restored to the
privileges of citizenship, can not be dis
franchised by any acts of Congress to be
passed hereafter. The chains put upon
them by Radical knavery, in order to
bind them hand and foot until after the
next Presidential election , have been
stricken from their limbs, and though
they may not be registered as voters at
elections to be held under the Recon
struction Satraps, they will all vote, and
their votes wilt be counted, for President
in 1868. Andrew Johnson's proclama
tion of amnesty to the people of the
South, will immortalize its author in
the love and esteem of the American
nation.
WE are indebted to the kindness of
a friend, for a copy of the great speech
of Henry Clay Dean, of lowa, on the
Financial System of the Country. We
will publish as much of it as our space
will allow, in our next.
ERECTION DAY, Tuesday, Oct. 8.
THE NEGROFj IN THE CAKS!
The Colored Brethren on Wheels!
THE SI .EEPI*G-CAR SMK UW!
!• , lon- Kunxllty. !"t of KIMIIWI PI
CM!
Our attention has recently been call
ed to the practical workings of a law
passed, last winter, by our State Legis
lature, imposing heavy penalties upon
railroad companies for refusing to per
mit negroes* to ride in assy of their passen
ger cars. As the law formerly stood,
railroad conductors could compel ne
groes to ride in separate cars provided
for them. As it stands now, they have
the same choice of seats, and berths in
sleeping-cars, as white people. A
friend of ours relates that as he was
traveling from Philadelphia to Hun
tingdon, a few nights ago, he took a
berth in a sleeping car, and when about
letiring, his attention was attracted by
loud talking and scuffling on the plat
form of the car. Proceeding to the
scene of the disturbance, he discovered
a huge male negro in a controversy
with one of the railroad officials about
obtaining a berth in the sleeping-car.
The ticket agent had refused to sell the
darkey a ticket, and the colored gen
tleman was trying to force his way into
the car without the requisite piece of
stamped paste-board. A policeman
came up, however, and settled the busi
ness, by telling the ticket agent that,
under the law, if he refused to sell the
negro a berth ticket, on acconsst of color,
he would beainenabletoafineofFlVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS, and subject
to pay a like sum to the ssegro upon an
action for debt! This had the desired
effect, and the African was handed the
coveted ticket. It so happened, how
ever, that but one berth was vacant,
and that was half of a double berth
partly occupied by a white man. The
negro divested himself of hat, boots,
coat and vest, and proceeded to appro
priate his half of the double berth.
White man, who had been dozing,
turned around, looked at the new-com
er, rubbed his eyes, looked again, and
then came such a kicking, tumbling,
sprawling, and mixture of white and
black generally as would have done any
amalgamationist's heart good. About
this time the conductor appeared upon
the scene, and the result was that the
negro, with ticket in hand, tumbled
into bed, whilst the white man, growl
ing anathemas at the party he himself
had helped to place in power, doggedly
put on his clothes and went forward to
sit with wrenched back and cramped
legs, in the passenger car, ruminating
over the beauties of Radical legislation.
We annex, below, a copy of the law
which gives the negro the privilege of
choosing his seat, or sleeping berth on
railroad cars:
AN ACT making it an offence for rail
road corporations, within this com
monwealth, to make any distinction
with their passengers, on account of
race or color, and punishing said cor
porations, and their agents and em
ployees, for the commission of such
offence.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Sen
ate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Gen
eral Assembly met, and it is hereby enact
ed by the Authority of the same , That on
and after the passage of this act any
railroad or railway corporation, within
this commonwealth, that shall exclude,
by their agents, conductors, or employ
ees, from any of their passenger cars,
any person or persons, on account of
color, or race, or that shall refuse to
carry in any of their cars, thus set apart,
any person, or persons, on account of
color or race, or that shall, for such
reason, compel, or attempt to compel
any person, or persons, to occupy any
particular part of any of their cars, set
apart for the accommodation of people
as passengers, shall be liable, in an ac
tion of debt, to the persons thereby in
jured, or aggrieved in the sum of five
hundred dollars, the same to be recov
ered, in an action of debt, as like a
mounts are now by law recoverable.
SECTION 2. That any agent, conduc
tor, or employee, of any railroad or rail
way corporation, within this common
wealth, who shall exclude, allow to be
excluded, or assist in theexclusion, from
any of their cars, set apart for the accom
modation of passengers, any person, or
persons, on account of color, or race, or
who shall throw any car, or cars, from
the track, thereby preventing persons
from riding, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, shall pay a fine, not exceeding
five hundred dollars, nor less than one
hundred dollars, or be imprisoned, for
a term not exceeding three months nor
less than thirty days, or both, at the
discretion of the court.

Upon the second reading of this bill,
Mr. Boyle, of Fayette, (Democrat)
offered the following new section :
"SECTION' 3. Provided , That noth

So this Section \yas lost, the Repub
lican members, including Messrs.
WELLER and RICHARDS, of this
district, all voting against it, exeept
the five above-named. The vote of
Messrs. Weller and Richards thus
stands recorded in favor of cosnpelling
railroad conductors to admit negroes
into ladies'cars and sleeping berths.

Thus was this bill to force negroes in
to seats and sleeping-berths on railroad
cars, alongside of white people, ladies
as well as gentlemen, passed by the
Radicals. It is appropriately termed
the "sleeping-car stink-bill." Let
Messrs. Weller and Richards be held
responsible for their votes in favor of
this law.

a consequent reduction of taxation,
vote for Schell and Findlay. A few

Maryland Throws Off the Rad

THE SEW 1.1 UK HA I. ASD DEMOCRATIC
COVSTITCTIOX ADOPTED BY
23,000 MAJORITY!
On Wednesday, 18th inst., an election
was held throughout the State of
Maryland to ratify or reject the new
Consti ution framed by the late Con
vention. The Constitution of 1804,
was forced upon the people of Maryland
by a minority, assisted by federal bayo
nets. That instrument disfranchised
a large body of thecitizens of the State,
and gave the minority power to rule the
majority. The adoption oi the new
Constitution, repeals that odious and
tyrannical instrument, and restores the
power of the State government to the
hands of the majority. This is theendof
Radicalism in Maryland. Even the Al
legany district, which last year elected
Frank Thomas to Congress, by 1,500 ma
jority (owingtothe disfranchisement of
several thousand voters in the district,)
now gives upwards of 1,000 majority
for the New Constitution. Allegany
county gives about 000, Washington,
200, Carroll 200, and Frederick 300 maj.
Baltimore city gives 10,500 majority
for the new Constitution. The Radi
cals made a fierce fight against it, but
they have been routed, "horse, foot and
dragoons." Let us take courage from
this. Pennsylvania can, also, and must,
be redeemed.
A Prediction!
" I fear that we shall lose Pennsylva
nia this next election. Ido not think
we have Earnestness enough in the
state to unite and draw out the Repub
licah Strength, while the Republican
portion of our legislature has been so
openly, notoHr.ii.Ojr ohamofuiiy cor
rupt, that all the honest people in the
State are disheartened and disgusted."
Thud. Stevens.
Gives It Up!
The Chairman of the Radical State
Committee, Mr. Jordan, gives up the
State! We have this uponreliable author
ity. Now, Democrats, let us see how
large we can make our majority! Rol 1
up your sleeves, "put your shoulders
to the wheel, pray to God for success,
and push on the column!" Now, for
victory!

A BIOOTY FOR jrGE NHAMWOOD!
The (ircatrst Knilleal Ijiwjw in I'eiin
s.>l\aiiiu. DoolnrcH for ilie Uenioerntie
nominee.
The great criminal lawyer, DA
VID PAUL BKOWN, ESQ., of Phila
delphia, has just published a pamphlet
in which he advocates the election of
Judge Sharswood. Mr. Brown is one
of the most radical of Radicals, and
"spits upon" the Democratic platform,
but goes for Sharswood as the best man
that could be named for Judge of the
Supreme Court. In the course of his
pamphlet he says:
"The fact of Judge Williams being
but forty-six years old, may be the
ground of a presumption that he, by
due efforts, may live to be an eminent
judge, but we are to rely rather upon
facts than fancy. We have in Judge
Sharswood, the assurance of qualities
that in the case of Judge Williams, at
the best, we have only the promise of.
Which, then, let me ask, would be the
more reasonable choice? It takes
twenty years to make a lawyer, and
even then he has something to learn.
A good judge would require nearly all
that time on the score of mere legal
competency, and he should necessarily
improve during that time, in his apti
tude for business, in his self-control, in
his temper and demeanor, for all these
things enter into the formation of his
judicial character. Now, can it be sup
posed that with the few years that
Judge Williams has occupied the bench
at Pittsburgh, having comparatively
limited jurisdiction, that he could have
derived those advantages in the for
mation of a Judge, which were nec
essarily acquired and fully exhibited
on ttie part of his antagonist during
more than twenty years?
In conclusion, allow me to say that
for the reasons suggested, I shall vote
for Judge Sharswood. In doing so 1
do not feel that I shall compromise my
principles as a thorough national Repub
lican —in acting otherwise , I should car
ry with me the consciousness of doing
injusticetoa meritoriousman,and ofin
tlictingacauselessanda cureless wound
upon the purity, permanency and in
tegrity of the Judiciary. My term of
life is short, but the lessons of this day
may last—in their pernicious and cor
rupt influence —unto the latest posteri
ty. Let the people, then, think of this, do
what they believe to be Right, and stand
firmly by their moral as well as their po
litical faith.
