MOSSTROI'N!
The hideous features of Congressional
Reconstruction, are, at last, being un
veiled. It is now certain that eleven
States of this Union are placed under
theabsolute domination of the blacks.
These are Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, i-lorida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennes
see, Louisiana, and Texas. In these
States there are ten millions of whites,
and about four millions oj blacks. The
Reconstruction Acts disfranchise at
least three-fourths of the whites, whilst
they enfranchise all the blacks. Thus
four hundred millions of blacks are
permitted, my compelled, by the Radi
cal party to rule more than twice their
number of whites. This, in itself, is
horrible enough. This alone challeng
es the condemnation of every thinking
mind, and stirs with indignation every
patriotic heart. Nor is the monstrosity
of this fact lessened by the reflection
that an immense standing army, main
tained at an estimated cost of two hun
dred millions of dollars, annually, to
the people of the United States, is the
engine with which this diabolical
scheme is enforced. But there is an
other consideration in connection with
thissubject, which increasesand intensi
fies the disgust and indignation at this
Radical plot whict* are now upper
most in the breasts of the Northern peo
ple. It is this: Four hundred mil
lions of Negroes, ignorant, degraded,
semi-barbarous, not only rule ten mil
lions of whites in the South, but are to
overbalance, by representation in Con
gress, twelve millions of white people
in the North. To illustrate: The e
leven States placed under Xegro control,
will have CO Representatives and 22 Sen
ators in Congress. Xew York, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio, with a population of up
wards of twelve millions of whiles, will
have (>4 Representatives and C Senators
in Congress. Thus, the twelve millions of
whites in Xew York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, will be out-voted in the Xutional
legislature, by the four hundred millions
of blacks in the South ! We mistake
nothing in making these assertions.
Figures will not lie. Let the reader
turn to the census tables and make the
calculation for himself. Finding our
statements to be true, if he be a "Re
publican," what does he propose to do?
Will lie continue his allegiance to a po
litical organization which has estab
lished this monstrous engine of politi
cal power and now seeks to fasten it
upon the country forever? Will he
cling to a party which thus aims to
crush out the practical good sense and
political virtue of the Northern people,
by overbalancing their power in thegov
ernnient with the votes of brutish Ne
groes? It cannot be. Party ties were
never so strofig that they could bind
men to measures at which their better
nature revolts. Prejudice and pride and
fear cannot restrain intelligent Ameri
can freemen from breaking the shack
les of party and rushing forward to the
rescue of their country, even if it be in
the company of former political oppo
nents. Oh ! men of the North ! Free
Aleii! White men! Ho you not see
the black storm that is gathering a
roundyou? Be ye prepared, for even
now the red lightning plays along the
sky, and the approaching thunder
mutters in the distance. Let the ark
of the Constitution be made strong, lor
it must outride fierce gales and rough
seas, ere it land once more upon the
Ararat of safety.
THE BLACK ART IX POLITICS.
By the disfranchisement of three
fourths of the white men of the South,
and the enfranchisement of the eman
cipated slaves, the Radicals hope to
elect the next President. They fear
the loss of the Middle States, most of
the Western States, the Pacific States,
the "Border States," and a good portion
of New England. Hence their black
Reconstruction scheme. So long as the
Southern States could not be controlled
in their interest, through the black
vote, they affected to regard them out
of the Union. So soon as they can man
age those States, through negro voters,
they will pronounce them in the Union.
This may be fairly styled the black art
in politics. It is the miserable thim
ble-rfgging of desperate political jug
glers. With them the Union is the
Little Joker. "Now you see it, and now
you don't see it." But some of the
people who have attended the Radi
cal show, and paid dearly for a back
seat in the pit, are beginning to be
"among the missing."
THE Radicals are anxious to repeat
the experiment tried by the Whigs in
1852, when Gen. Scott was nominated
011 the "Hasty Plate of Soup" Platform.
They want to nominate Gen. Grant on
a Negro Suffrage Platform.
Til AO. OX THE RAMPAGE.
We call attention to a letter of Thad.
! Stevens, written recently to one Pfeiff
er, published in another column. Thad.
savs that Negro Suffrage must be en
forced everywhere ; that suffrage is an
inalienable right, and, therefore, all
men are entitled to its exercise, and no
man can be deprived of it. If this be
so, how comes it, then, that 700,000
white men are at this moment denied
this inalienable right? How comes it
that 25,000 white men are not permitted
to exercise it in Pennsylvania, under
the plea that they are alleged to be
"deserters?" If this right be inaliena
ble, how could the white people of the
South have parted with it? Mr. Ste
vens says that since the amendment of
the Constitution proposed last year, has
been adopted, Congress has the power
to legislate for the regulation of Suff
rage in the States. But that amend
ment has not been adopted, as Mr. Ste
vens very well knows. However, as
he informed us on another occasion,
Congress acts outside of the Constitution,
and we presume it makes but little dif
ference whether the amendment was
adopted or not. \\ e hope every Re
publican in this neck of the woods, will
read this last sermon from the super
annuated apostle of Radicalism, and
learn whither he Is leading them.
HOW ABOl'l' THE TARIFF
Radical Reconstruction will give the
eleven Southern States, controlled by
Negro votes, 00 Representatives and 22
Senators in the next Congress. Under
the next apportionment, which will
be made immediately after the census
of 1870, those States will add at least 80
to the number of their Representatives,
for, then,aW the negroes will be count
ed, whereas, heretofore but three fifths
of them were counted. Now, the in
terests of the South, of the Southern
blacks, particularly, demand low tar
iffs, in fact ,free trade. A tariff on iron
and coa 1 , will be the last measure in
the world, which any of their repre
sentatives will support. On the other
hand, they will oppose it to the bitter
end. Will the "Republicans" who
pretend to be the "tariff' men" par ex
cellence, please explain how Radical
Reconstruction can fail to injure Penn
sylvania interests ?
lIEMEM RKR !
We remind the people that the Rad
icals, prior to the late election, declared
most solemnly that if Judge Sharswood
would be elected, "greenbacks" would
be abolished, government bonds would
become worthless, and that the Mary
land militia would invade Pennsylva
nia. Sharswood has been elected.
Gold is lower than it was, "green
backs," consequently, better, bonds
worth as much as ever,, and nothing
has been seen or heard of the Maryland
militia. Those who were fooled by
these ridiculous Radical tricks, will,
perhaps, remember these things and
not be quite so credulous next time.
When the tricksters of that party, ham
mer their Chinese gongs, in future,
some people will, in all probability, be
less easily alarmed.
THE Radical party relies for success,
mainly upon the lately emancipated
slaves of the South. What must be
the condition of a political organiza
tion, which can succeed only through
the help of several millions of ignor
ant, debased and semi-barbarous ex
slaves ?
THE election is over, and nothing
more is heard about "mismanagement,"
"extravagance" and "corruption," at
the Poor House, and in the Board of
Commissioners. "All talk and no
cider," will sometimes do well enough
for electioneering purposes, but didn't
come to much this year.
TWENTY-FIVE negroes have been
elected members of the Virginia Con
vention, which is to frame a new form
of government for that State. What
do "Republicans" hereabouts think of
this?
"REPUBLICAN !" Your associates in
your party organization, are Sambo,
Cuffee and Squash, late of the tobacco,
cotton and rice-fields of the South.
I low do you like your company?
BROWN LOW has beeen elected U. S.
Senator from Tennessee. As this is a
Jladical victory, will not the Inquirer
"bring out its gun?"
GEN. POPE, finding that he could
not carry the "Convention" in Geor
gia, after two days' voting, continued
the election for Jive days. This enabled
him to get the needed re-enforcements.
What do you think of it?
THECurtin men of this State, are
trying to head off Cameron by tying to
Grant. Simon will show them a trick
or two, before that game is played out.

on Radical Reconstruction, see Geor
gia election returns.
TIIADIIEIS STEVENS' LAST LETTER.
Nftfro Suirrajro to bo Enforced by toil- j
grew*.
Below will be found the important
part of a letter written by Thaddeus
Stevens to M. I). G. Pfeiffer, a German
scholar, who is said to have been in the
habit of frequently consulting Mr. Ste
vens on public affairs for many years :
Whatever construction shall be given
to the Constitution in its present condi
tion by this Congress, and those near
est the great events which have modi
fied it, will be likely to be accepted,
through future time, as its true mean
ing. It is important, therefore, that
the most beneficent interpretation
should be given to it, and that it should
be most liberally construed, so as to se
cure all human rights.
In the changed condition of our coun
try and of that instrument, which,
while it, as to the old States, may not
be perverted, is not so inefixible as to
be incapable of yielding to the chang
ing necessities of humanity.
Before the constitution was amended,
I could not agree with some of my
learned friends that Congress could in
termeddle with State laws relative to
the elective franchise in the United
I States. The of slavery
i seemed, while it was submitted to, to
prevent it. Alter the amendment a
; bolishing slavery I still doubted, and
; proposed a constitutional remedy, on
! the sth day of December 1865, in the
: following words: "All national - * *
laws shall be equally applicable to eve
ry citizen , and no discrimination shall
i lie made on account of race or color."
Since the adoption of the fourteenth
1 amendment, however, I have no doubt
I of our full power to regulate the elee
; tive franchise, so far as it regards the
whole nation, in every State of the U
nion, which, w hen tried, I hope will be
so formed as to be benificial to ihe na
tion, just to every citizen, and carry out
the great design of the trainers of the
Government, according to their views
expressed in tic Declarationot Indepen
! dence.
The lawgivers of America arc now as
free to act as Samson when the fire had
touched the flax. May they never a
| gain he beguiled by any conservative
Delilah—suffer their locks to he shorn,
and their limbs to be bound by the
withes of a twisted Constitution. The
laws which were intended to be univer
sal, the principles which were inten
ded to govern the whole American na
tionality, must now be made to cover
1 and control its whole national action
, throughout this grand empire. Towns,
; corporations,and municipalities may be
allowed their separate organization not
I inconsistent therewith, hut must not
incorporate any principles in conflict
with those great rights, privileges, and
j immunities.
What are those rights, privileges and
! immunities f Withoutexeludingothers,
three are specifically enumerated: Life,
| liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. —
These are universal and inalienable.
It follows that everything necessary
for their establishment and defence is
within those rights,
i You grant a lot or easement in the
i midst of your estate, you thereby grant
! the right of way to it by ingress and e
j gress.
Disarm a community, and you rob
| them of the means of defending life.—
j Take away their weapons of defence,
I and you take away the inalienable
; right of defending liberty. This brings
1 us now directly to the argument by
j which we prove that the elective fran
j chiseis a RIGHT of the Declaration, and
i not merely a privilege, and is one of
I the rights and immunities pronounced
by that instrument to be " inalienable."
! If, as our fathers declared,"all just gov
ernment is derived from the assent of
| the governed if in Federal republics,
J that assent can beascertained and estab
! lished only through the ballot,it follows
that to take away the means of commu
nication, is to take away fiom the citi
zen his great weapon of defence and re
duce him to helpless bondage. It de
prives him of an inalienable right. This
clearly proves that the elective fran
chise ranks with 'Vi/e" and " liberty"
in its sacred inalienable character.
But while the Declaration clearly
proves what the intention then was,
the action of the convention in framing
the Constitution of the United States,
it seemed to me, bartered away, for
the time being, some of those inaliena
ble rights, and instigated by the hel
lish institution of slavery, suspended
one of the muniments of liberty. Hav
ing thus shown that the elective fran
chise is one of the inalienable rights of
man, without which his liberty cannot
be defended, and that it was suspended
by the arbitrary Constitution of 1781),
let us see if that suspension has been
removed, so as. to leave our hands un
restrained in restoring its full vigor,
while still acting under the Constitu
tion. That right appertains to every
ciiizen. But while this suspension ex
isted, the natural love of despotism in
duced communities to hold that each
State might fix the qualifications,
rights, and deprivations of its own citi
zens.
The fourteenth amendment, now so
happily adopted, settles the whole
question, and places every American
citizen on a perfect equality of rights,
so far as merely national rights and
questions are concerned. It declares
that "all persons born, or naturalized
in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State where
in they reside. No State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges and immunities of
citizens of the United States ; nor shall
any person be deprived 01" life, liberty,
or property, without due process of law;
nor deny any person within its juris
diction the equal protection of the
laws."
If by the amended Constitution eve
ry American citizen is entitled to equal
privileges with every other American
citizen; and if every American citizen
in any oneofthe States should be found
entitled to impartial suffrage with eve
ry other American citizen in any State,
then it follows as an individual conclu
sion that suffrage throughout this na
tion is impartial and universal, so far
as every human being without regard
to race or color shall be found concern
ed, and so far as it affects the whole na
tion.
Can he who swears to support the
Constitution in all its parts refuse to
aid in carrying this into effect without
clear direct perjury? a worse perjury
than would have been committed by
those who, under the old Constitution,
could not agree to that construction,
and thus refused their aid to their fel
low-men.
What a grand compulsion have these
despots, rebels, and murderers finally
forced upon the American Republic by
their impatient, rash, and bloody acts!
How they have aided the just men of
the nation in producing this great good!
It were well if they could claim some
merit as a compensation for so great a
crime. But if evil must come into the
world, "but woe unto him through
whom it cometh," I fear that if good
does come into the world through com
pulsion, no merit will be attributed to
>he unwilling actors. Let no man now,
then, who belongs to this great Gov
ernment, dare to stand up in the face of
high heaven and longer deny to God's
immortal beings the high, the inaliena
ble, the God-granted rights which his
immortal Father gave them. Let no
one in the past or in any future age at
tempt to palliate his offence, either be
fore an earthly tribunal which is to de
cide between God's creatures, or who
is to plead his cause at the bar of a high
er tribunal, venture to insult Divine
Justice by longer pleading his inability
to excute that justice.
We must remember that most of us
are separated from the dread tribunal
occupied by a Judge who cannot be de
ceived by the narrowest isthmus that
ever divided time from eternity.
. If every citizen of any State is enti
tled to all the inalienable rights, priv
ileg 's, and immunities of this Govern
ment, and if one of those inalienable
rights is the right to east his ballot for
every man who is to take part in the
government, show me the man who is
so impudent as to deny that suffrage
by the ballot is due to every being
within this realm to whom God has
given immortality. He must be an
impudent citizen, and ought never to
profess to believe in the existence of a
Deity ; for that a world could be crea
ted and governed without an overrul
ing cause, is more feasible than such a
proposition.
THE ELECTION FARCE IN GEORGIA.

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION.
Another morions Deinorrntir Victory !
The municipal and judicial election
in the city of Baltimore took place on
Wednesday last, and resulted in a
glorious, sweeping Democratic victory.
The rule of toe "plug uglies," and the
worsoneofthe Radical bayonets, have
ceased, and the people of that down
trodden city proclaim in thunder tones
their detestation and abhorrence of
Radical measures, which have well
nigh ruined the country. A few more
such victories through-out the country
and the reign of Radicalism will forev
er be at an end. The good news is thus
briefly told*i
BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.—The municipal
and judicial election passed off very
quietly to day. The entire Democrat

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.
Radical Programme of Territorial Al-
Norption—(iratii Juki I tint over the Ohio
and Pennsylvania Elections-- file Forty-
First Congress.
WASIIIGTOX, October 39, 1867.
The fact has for a year past been no
torious here that the Radical program
embraced for the future the incor
poration of Hayti into the "Union,"
the absorption of Cuba by invasion of
negro filiibusters, and the settlement of
the "Alabama claims" by the purchase
of Jamaica from England. It is under
stood that a proposition for annexing
Hayti was made to Mr. Sumner, Chair
man of the Senate Committee on For
eign Affairs, last winter, by ihe Diplo
matic agent of that Government, but
at the instance of Republican politici
ans of more prudent instincts, the pro
ject was laid aside untill after the re
sult of the next Presidential election.
1 scarcely believe that the visit of Mr.
Seward to San Domingo was intended
to he in furtherance of this programme.
On the contrary, I have reason to be
lieve that the Conservative Secretary
rather favored a postponement, at least
for the present. The Radical calcula
tion is that upon a renewal of their
lease of power of four more years under
the very moderate and "conservative"
administration of General Grant, that
thiee Republican States may be carved
out of Hayti, tive out of Cuba and two
out of Jamaica, to say nothing of other
absorptions, which with the ten South
ern negro States, Massachusetts, Ver
mont, Nebraskaand Colorado, will form
an available working Congressional
majority, at least in the Senate. These
facts, although well known, have not
heretofore been susceptible of that sort
of proof upon which alone a careful
correspondent would promulge them.
But evidence of undoubted character is
daily accumulating, among which is
the following authentic expose of Hon.
Tliaddeus Stevens, in a very recent
letter:
"Before the time for action shall ar
rive, Cuba, the most fertile and pro
ductive spot of its size, except perhaps
the Delta of the Nile, will have become
so saturated and ripe with the bursting
principle of freedom and together with
St. Domingo, llayti, Jamaica, and
their cognate races will be ready to
leap to arms and defend their appropri
ate dominions, if such aid should be
needed in the cause of freedom, and if
they shall not then have been added to our
own dominion by our enterprising for
eign Secretary."
Dr. Bard, the editor of the Atlanta
New Era, whose recent exposition of
General Grant's political views has
been referred to, left town yesterday
hurriedly. He was fairly run down by
the sensational paragraphists. Besides,
General Dent, the next in military
command here to the General himself,
is understood to have been after him
with a big stick. The General's quar
ters have since been doubly guarded,
and I doubt if another word can be
got out of him for a week. 1 may say,
however, that it is susceptible of proof
under oath, that General Grant did
express in emphatic terms his gratifica
tion at the result of the recent elections
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but it was
looked upon at the time as simply
an exultation that thereby his nomi
nation by tiie Radicals was secured be
yond peradventure.
Speculation is rife respecting the
character of the Forty-first Congress.
It is hoped in observant circles that a
majority of Conservative Democrats
will be secured. "But," says a ju
dicious correspondent of a Southern
paper, "if the Radicals are to be rein
forced by a black army, there will be
no chance for this. Leaving out the
ten proscribed States, it is thought pos
sible to secure a Conservative majority
in the next House of Representatives,
and also a Conservative President.—
Could this be done—the South standing
aside—the Congressional reconstruction
plan would fall dead. The Radicals
would keep the Senate, and the acts
could not be repealed ; but the House
could refuse appropriations to carry
them into effect, and, further, could
admit the representatives of white
citizens of the South."
—ln eleven of the principal cities and
towns of Georgia there were 7,1)79 ne
gro votes polled, and only 107 white
votes. In Albany, Americus, Augusta,
Fort Gaines, Macon, Marietta and
Rome, not a white vote was cast, and
in Savannah and Lagrange only one
each. What a farce! What a shame
upon the Radical leaders.
—The Radical members of the Im
peachment Committee are anxiously
informing the public that they have
not expressed any opinion upon the
subject. In other words they are pre
paring to drop the matter, and want
the "narrowminded blockheads" to
quit agitating that impracticable meas
ure.
—Rachel and Mary Jones, the two
maiden ladies of Philadelphia, who
were lately arrested upon a charge of
killing a little girl named Annie Rich
ards, with a poisoned peach, were dis
charged upon a habeas corpus, the other
day, there being no evidence against
them.
—A Philadelphia Radical organ says
the Democracy of Baltimone refused to
appoint "Plug Uglies" to office, and
that they threaten to vote the Radical
ticket. Very well. Theycould't grav
itate to a plug uglier party, and feel
more at home.
—A Radical organ declares that the
Radical New York State Senator
Humphrey, ought to be prosecuted for
selling himself for the paltry sum of
s.3oo—thus improperly depressing the
market for Assemblymen.
—The following is given as the vote
of Virginia: Whites, 75,921; blacks?,
93,656. For the Convention, 14,845
whites; 92,507 blacks. Against the
Convention, 61,219 whites; 638 blacks.
—The Chinese Government has or
dered specimens of our fractional cur
rency. Can it be that "the Brother of
the Sun and Moon" has become afflic
ted with a collecting mania?
—Dr. Oliver Wendell Homes is in
Montreal, where he will tarry until he
secures a British copyright for his
"Guaruian Angei" aud other works.
Sound the loud timbrel,
o'er land and o'er sea!
