INDEED!
The Delaware Republican says of the
Radical party:
"No other party recorded in history,
can boast of having rendered such ser
vices to the civilized world."
That is true. "No other party re
corded in history can boast of" having
exhibited in so great degree as the
Radical party, the workings of hatred,
malice and revenge. In this its servi
ces to the "civilized world" are unpar
allelled. They will stand out on the
pages of history as a perpetual warning
to the nations, against fanatics, enthu
siasts and hypocrites. When the Brit
on reads of the banishment of Vallan
digham, the butchering of Bollmeyer
and the imprisonment of Wall and
Olds and thousandsof other citizens, for
opinion's sake, he will forget the bloody
history of the Tower, cease to brood
over the untimely fate of Raleigh and
think no more of that stain left upon
the escutcheon of England by the blood
of Mary, Queen of Scots; but, leaving
the dead of a dark age to bury their
dead, he will look around him to mark
those men who in this day of enlighten
ment, would fix a darker stigma upon
the name of his country, by treading
in the footsteps of American Radical
ism. When he reads of a bloody war
made, avowedly, to bring back into the
Federal Union a people in revolt, and
finds that after that war was ended by
the re&ellious people laying down their
arms in good faith, those people were
made to bear the burdens of govern
ment, without being permitted to par
ticipate in the making, or execution of
its laws, he may think of Ireland, and
see and appreciate the wrongs of that
down-trodden satrapy of Britain. When
his attention is called to the five thous
and millions of debt, weighing upon
the shoulders of the American people,
increased daily by the expenses of an
immense standing army, he may con
sole himself that Great Britain at last
has found company in her misery of
national indebtedness. When he finds
that in America the property of the
middle and poorer classes is taxed to
support the government, whilst the
bonds of the moneyed aristocracy, are
exempt from taxation, he will find a
parallel in his own country, and will
not wonder if the bread riots of Man
chester some day have their counter
part this side of the Atlantic. And thus
our British cousin is taught to look out
for that fanaticism which would level
only that it may rise. As for France,
when hersavans shall know the ex
cesses of Radicalism in the United
States, they will forget that their coun
try ever had a Robespierre, or that Ja
cobin fury once dragged the bones of the
dead Bourbons from their graves and
threw them in a ditch. Russia, when
she hears of ten States blotted from the
map of the American Union, will think
better of the dismemberment of Po
land, and Austria, as she learns that ten
millions of whites are made serfs of four
millions of blacks, will bear, with sov
ereign complacency, the reproach of
Hungarian slavery. In this wise, has
the Radical party rendered great ser
vices to liberty and civilization. In
deed, "no other party recorded in his
tory, can boast of having rendered such
services to the civilized world."

On Tuesday night last, the speakers
at the Radical meeting announced that
the Republican party is committed to
Negro Suffrage. W bat more do ltepu b
licans want to convince them that their
party is determined to make the blacks
their political equals ? Hereafter, you,
too , Mr. Republican, must acknowledge
yourself in favor of Negro Suffrage or
you must leave your party. Now what
will you do? Will you swallow all
you have said against this hateful doc.
trine, or will you show yourself a man
and cut loose from the miserable lead
ers who expect to pull you hither and
thither like a mere wooden puppet?

IIEMOCItATM' MEETING.
Pursuant to a call of the Democratic
County Committee, a Mass Meeting of
the Democracy of Bedford county, was
held at the Court House, on Monday
evening last. At an early hour the
Court Room was packed with enthusi
astic Democrats, and at seven o'clock
the meeting was organized, on motion
of B. F. Meyers, by the appointment
of HUGH WILSON, Esq., of South
ampton as President. The following
named gentlemen were appointed \ ice
Presidents, M. Reed, W. S. Fluke,
Reuben Smith, John Greenough, John
C. Black, Win. Mason, Geo. W. Horn,
Augustus Hildebrant, David Brallier,
P. F. Lehman, Geo. Rhoads, Jacob
Adams, Geo. Vonstine, Jolin Burket,
James Sill, S. McFeeters, Christ. My
ers, Daniel Smouse, Henry W. Rt:ed,
Win. Adams, John Cavender, Samuel
Beckley, Lewis Howsare, Win, M.
Pearson, Henry Fluke, Tosiah Ritchey,
Caselton Ake, with the following gen
tlemen as Secretaries: Dr. W. Van
Ormer, Henry Boor, John Feaster and
Emory Berkstresser.
On motion, Hon. A. 11. Coffroth, of
Somerset, was called upon to address
the meeting. Gen. Coffroth responded
to the call, in a most able and effective
address, which was frequently inter
rupted with loud cheers.
Hon. F. M. Kimmell, of Chambers
burg, was then loudly called for, and
made his appearance in the midst of
much enthusiasm. The Judge made a
clear, calm and searching exposition of
Radical doctrines and purposes and
was listened to with profound atten
tion.
Col. J. H. Filler was next called out,
! and received with bursts of applause.
The Colonel made an eloquent and im
pressive address, putting his points
with that peculiar forcibleuess which
distinguishes all his speeches
< ). E. Shannon, Esq., was then intro
duced. Mr. S. discussed the financial
question with great ability, pointing
out with great clearness and force, the
blunders and rascality of the fiscal sys
tem which now curses the country.
The following resolutions w re then
read and unanimously adopted :
Resolved , By the Democracy of Bed
ford county, that the fiat of tiie people
has gone forth that the Equality of the
States must he restored, Equality of
Taxation must be established and
Equality of Representation must be
granted* to all the people of the Union,
and to tiiis end, that the unconstitution
al, fanatical and tyrannical legislation
of the last Congress must be repealed.
Resolved, That the Congressional
plan of reconstruction, as confessed by
its framers, wholly outside the Consti
tution, is a revolutionary usurpation,
and that the attempt by Congress to
establish the practical supremacy of
the negro race, is a most atrocious
crime against the principles of republi
can government and the civilization of
tlie age, and deserves the severe and
indignant denunciation of every true
American citizen.
Resolved, That thebitter fruits of legis
lation outside of the Constitution are
seen in the practical disruption of tiie
Union, the demoralization of the pub
lie conscience, the stagnation of all
legitimate business, the depreciation
of the public credit, the enormous and
still increasing burdens of taxation and
the grave apprehension of business
men and statesmen that still greater
calamities are impending over the
country.
Resolved, That tiie so called Recon
struction measures have been repudi
ated by the people at the ballot-box,
and that the Congress which enacted
them, is solemnly and emphatically
called upon by the popular voice to
repeal them.
Resolved, That the attempt of the
Radical party to fasten the supremacy
of the blacks upon eleven states of
the Union, through the instrumental
ity of a military despotism, and to
equalize the races politically through
out the remaining States, has received
a merited and overwhelming rebukein
the verdict of the people at the recent
elections.
Resolved, That we extend our hearty
congratulations to our brethren of
New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and the West, for the signal victories
they have achieved in behalf of the
Constitution and lie Union ; and that
we cordially invite ail conservative
men without regard to past political
designations, to unite with us in an
honest and earnest efi'ort to emulate
these noble examples to achieve the
crowning victory in 1S(J8, which will
restore the Union, re-establish domes
tic tranquillity, and bring the people
back to the paths of peace and pros
perity.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
The Democratic Brass Bund was in
attendance and enlivened ihe occasion
with several spirit-stirring airs. The
meeting was a grand success, and will
leave a marked impression upon the
politics of the county.
\o Chanw for <r:tui as a Itiiilical Can
didate.
The New York Herald, which has
been the most devoted advocate of the
claims of General Grant as a Presiden
tial candidate, has a very strong edi
torial on the "negro Conventions in
the Southern States, and their effect
on the North," in which it emphati
cally declares:
IfGeneral Grant accepts the Radical
nomination up nsucha platform as the
Radicals now tread, he will be beaten,
despite his national popularity and his
masterly reticence. General .Scott was
defeated when similar but minor prin
ciples were involved, and President
Pierce, with all liisimbecility,then step
ped into power.
The llerald sees what is in the future.
Any candidate whom the Radicals may
put up will be defeated. The people of
this country are not prepared to turn
the greatest nation in the world over to
the wild rule of a set of barbarian ne
groes, just freed from slavery.

The disconsolate and dilapidated
remnants of the ripped-up Rads in this
county, had a gathering at the Court j
House, on Tuesday night last. The;
Court room was about half filled, and at j
least fifty per cent of the assemblage
were Democrats. The hour for organi
zation arrived and passed, and after
; some time, J. 11. Longnecker, Esq.,
Chairman of the Radical County Com
mittee, announced the President and
other officers of the meeting. Mr. J.
It. Durborrow, of the Inquirer, then
took the floor. He said that though
; he had for a long time been prominent
ly identified with the politics of Bed
ford county, tins was the first time he
had had the honor of appearing in pub
lic as a regular speak"/*. He then ex
plained how it came that the meeting
was so immensely small, and, doubt
less, satisfied himself entirely as to the
reason of "this thasness." He, also,
referred to the recent Democratic vic
tories. Besides, he gave a youth's his
tory of the war which was evidently
very grateful to the weak stomachs of
those of the brethren who have been
nauseated with Radical disunionism.
Moreover, he came out, fiat and fair
for Negro Suffrage and declared that
the Republican party were pledged to
stand by it. [Here Esq. Metzgcr was
heard to ejaculate, "If that's the doc
trine of the party, I'll be if I'll go
with them any further]. Mr. Points
followed, saying that he had suddenly
waked up to the discovery that tlie
Democrats had carried everything be
fore them. Mr. Cessna then took the.
stand, asd bellowed for about thirty
minutes abou' "Copperheads" and
; "Whisky," and "Whisky" and "Cop
perheads," "hands red with blood,"
"rebels," "traitors," "blood-hounds,"
i etc., and wound up by a most Iflmin
; ous exposition of the great political is
; sues involved in the administration of
i the affairs of the Bedford county Poor
House. John sneaked around questions J
of national politics, like a hungry cat
around a hot skillet. But much as he j
desired to ventilate his opinions on:
those questions, lie dared not touch
them, but taking counsel of his fears,
contented himself by assailing the ab
sent ex-District Attorney, which was
about as brave as running away from
Bedford, when the rebel cavalry, once
upon a time, were supposed to be ap
proaching the devoted town. If John
persists in this kind of warfare, some
body will be hurt, sure. Mr. Cessna
was followed by Mr. F. Holsiuger, of
Woodberry, who said that the negroes
of the South are more intelligent than
the whites, and the reason that the white
people are afraid of them (the negroes)
is, that the negroes are their superiors !
At this juncture there was a sudden
skedaddling of the faithful, and Mr.
Holsiuger was left to discourse to "a
beggarly account of empty benches."
The meeting was then compelled to ad
journ, lor want of numbers, and the
chairman and speakers slowly and
solemnly retired from the scene.
Tin: UXfOX PACIFIC KAII-ROtO—AI.L
KAIL IO THK IIUCIiY 'tiOl'A 11 iSi.N.
Not even this country of great achiev
ments, has ever before undertaken any
industrial enterprise so important as
the building of a railway to the Pacific
ocean. Less than twenty years ago,
Col. Benton advocated in Congress a
railroad, "where practicable," across
the country from the Mississippi t6 the
Pacific coast; but his moderate propo
sal was considered to be far in advance
even of this progressive age. And yet
to-day, more than one-third of this vast
work has been finished. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company, organized
in 1863, began to build in 1864, had only
fairly got to wore in 186-3, and in Octo
ber, 1867, have completed tive hundred
miles of road which has been pronoun
ced by Government Commissioners
first-class in construction and equip
ment. This Company is constructing
the eastern end of the line, beginning
atOmaha, Nebraska; while the Central
Pacific Company is building the wes
tern end, beginning at Sacramento, Cal
ifornia.
The peculiar and impressive features
of the Pacific Railroad, are: Ist, Tts im
portance as a national enterprise; 2d,
The especial privileges granted to it by
the Government; and 3d, The unusual
care taken by Government enactments
for the safety of investments 111 its secur
ities.
The national importance of a railroad
to the Pacific can hardly be overestima
te I. The Government is spending mil
lions of dollars annually in transpor
ting men and material to its frontier
posts; with a railroad in operation,
this expense will be reduced at least
three-fourths. The gold and silver
mines of the Western States and Terri
tories yield annually abyutone hundred
million dollars; With the increased fa
cilities for emigration, and for transpor
ting the requisite machinery for the
thorough development of the mining
region which a railroad will afford,
this production will heat least doubled.
The public lands in Nebraska, and in
the Territories west of that State, have
been comparatively worthless, because
they were inaccessible, and, consequent
ly, unproductive; the Union Pacific
liailread opens all the great valley of
the River Platte and vast regions be
yond to the occupancy of thrifty emi
grants, and has already established
such a succession of thriving towns as
will bring all land in the vicinity of
the Railroad into active demand. In
case of foreign war or domestic revolu
tion, the existence of a railway line, by
which troops could be conveyed from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, or vice versa,
in a week, would be of incalculable val
ue; while und T any circumstances of
internal trouble, necessitating a repeti
tion in kind of the Utah expedition,
the saving to the Government by
means of this road, would be enough to
construct the entire line. Gen. Sher
man has said that "The Government
could afford to buihl the whole road
rather than without it," and there
are abundant reasons for pronouncing
tliis opinion a sound one.
So great are the manifest national ad
vantages to be derived from a Pacific
Railroad, that the two powerful com
panies authorized to build it received
very extraordinary grants from Con
gress. Donations of land were made to
the companies to the amount of 12,800
acres per mile; and then United States
bonds, to an average amount of about
$30,000 per mile, were advanced to the
Companies, which have the privilege
of paying a large part, if not all, of this
indebtedness to the Government, by
the transportation of mails and war
and other national material. No other
industrial enterprise ever received so
liberal aid from the Government as
this.
Having made such special grants as
j indicated its entire confidence in the
j full success of the undertaking, the
! Government took unusual care that
■
! those who joined with it in assisting
! the Union Pacific Railroad Company
| should be amply secured against any
| probability of loss or failure. Thecom
j pany was authorized to issue its own
bonds to an amount equal to the ad
i vances of the Government, and these
bonds constitute the first mortgage up
on the road, the claim of the Govern
ment being made a second lien. The
Government appoints five Directors,
who shall look carefully after the man
agement of the road, and also three
commissioners, whose duty it is to
thoroughly inspect each section of
twenty miles, before the bonds can be
issued upon that section. Thus the
bonds represent, not a projected enter
prise, which may be completed, but a
finished and equipped railroad, earn
ing very largely in excess of its ex
penses, and with a future which can
not fail of being eminently profitable.
The future business of the only rail
road connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific states must be something marvel
ous, and we venture the prediction
that no single track will long accom
j modate the endless succession of trains
| that will crowd its entire line. Wes
tern Europe is waiting for it, as the
shortest route to Eastern Asia; and
how many anxious hearts in the old
j home states are longing for it, to join
i hands with friends a.id relatives, with
i out the cost and risk of a long, dreary
! and dangerous voyage in crowded
steamers across two oceans.
But if the business of the completed
line is to be something marvelous, the
| business on the sections already finish
ed is not less satisfactory. The earnings
011 three hundred and twenty-five
miles for a siugie quarter this season
are officially reported at one million
dollars, and iis the road goes further
towards the great mining regions, this
sum must be increased.
Every reader of this sheet is interest
ed in the rapid prosecution of this work.
Every new agricultural or manufactur
ing community established by the
opening of this road, will add to the
national wealth and aid in paying the!
public debt. Every acre of land hither-;
to unimproved, which shall not be eul- j
tivated, increases the store of food for j
'
our own population ol* for export.
Every additional toil of gold or silver j
that is mined puts money in the pub- I
lie purse. The road will be the great 1
agent in thedevelopinentof the Ameri
can continent, and its completion in
1870 will benefit an entire population.!
With such a future before it as the
finished line is certain to have, and
with so many guarantees for the pro-!
tection of the interests of those who
invest in it, we cannot but think that
its bonds constitute one of the best in-!
vestments now before the American
people. Their special advantages are
set forth elsewhere, and the character
of the financial officers of the Company
is sufficient guarantee that those ad
vantages are not exaggerated in the
slightest degree. J

so to see what is to come of the im- j
