spoken in tones oft bonder in favorofthe

The Radicals are preparing to rebel

NOW, YOU CAN SEE:
i The mouth-piece of the Radicals,
> Tom Marshall, at their meeting on
Saturday night of last week, declared
that his party is in favor of compelling
the people of eleven States to have
Negro Suffrage, and that it must also
be established in the Northern States.
! Now, Republicans, you can see what
' your leaders are driving at! They
have riveted their odious policy upon
the Southern States, and now, with
I Grant as an instrument to deceive you,
they want to fasten it upon you ! They
j are getting bolder. They imagine the
j people will tolerate any thing they
| choose to do. They think Grant's
j military cloak will cover their infa
mous purposes from your sight. Even
now, there is snugly filed away in one
' of the committee rooms of Congress,
| Sumner's bill to legislate Xegro Suffrage
into all the States. Elect men like
John Cessna, or, in fact, any Radical,
i to Congress, and they will pass this
bill at once. Should Grant he elected
and veto it, they will pass it over his
| veto. If they carry the election, they
will say the people endorsed Xegro
j Suffrage at the polls and demand such a
law from Congress. This is plainly
. foreshadowed in the speech of Tom.
Marshall. The Radical party is openly
committed to this purpose. Grant
stands upon their platform and accepts
their doctrines. He is tarred with the
same stick as Sumner, Kelley, Wade
and the rest. Let every Republican
who is opposed to Universal Negro
1 Suffrage act out his principles, and
J either not vote at all, or vote for Sey
i mour and Blair.

"The Republican party has been la
boring since the close of the war to es
tablish firm an 1 stable civil govern
ments in the Southern States and re
store them, to peace and prosperity."
| —lnquirer.
A deliberate, naked and shameless
falsehood! In 1865, there were "firm
and. stable governments" erected in
those States, upon the plan of A. Lin
coln, carried into effect by Andrew
Johnson. [See testimony of U. S.
Grant before the Military Committee
of Congress.] The people of the South
elected representatives to Congress, the
same year, and asked to be recognized
as in the Union. The "Republican"
party, the infamous, devilish Radicals
into whose control that party had fall
en, refused admission to those repre
sentatives, turned them away from the
doors of Congress, passed the Recon
struction Acts, divided the South into
military districts, established an armed
despotism over the Southern people,
and forced Negro Suffrage and Negro
Supremacy upon them at the point of
the bayonet. They banded the blacks
together in sworn leagues, and, as Sena
tor Doolittle aptly and truthfully ex
! pressed it, "organized hell in the
South." They "labor to establish firm
and stable governments in theSouth !"
They "labor to restore to those States
peace and prosperity!" So Lucifer
"labored to establish a firm and stable
government" in Heaven! So the
wolf "labors to restore peace and pros
perity" to the sheep-fold ! Out upon
the mendacious knave who thinks to
palm off such a bald and tawdry lie
upon his readers! Why, if the "Re
publican'' party "labored" so hard to
establish firm and stable governments
in the Southern States and restore them
to peace and prosperity, how comes it
that their labor lias been unsuccessful ?
j Nobody hindered them. Nobody
could hinder them. They rode rough
shod over all opposition to their policy.
They handcuffed the President with
their two-thirds vote in Congress, they
gagged the Supreme Court, and they
had their bayonets constantly at the
throats of the Southern people. Now,
whose fault was it that they have not
succeeded? Nobody's but their own.
Their policy is unequal, unjust, corrupt,
wicked and diabolical and cannot be
carried out. They have failed because
they are wrong. Let them not complain
when they bring ruin upon their own
heads.

THE gushing love for the soldier that
fills the soul of John Cessna, prompted
him togotoChambersburgon thedaybe
fore the meeting of the Franklin coun
ty convention, to lay the ropes that
would slaughter the gallant Col. Whist
ling, in the house of his friends. —
What arguments Cessna used to con
vince the delegates that he was more
entitled to the conferees than the sol
dier who was clearly the choice of that
county, has not yet come to light. But
he succeeded. John's motto is,—and
in fact it is the motto of the i radicals
everywhere—never sacrifice your own
interests to enhance those of the sol
dier. Thus we have another instance
of the great love which that party pro
fesses to have for the soldiers. One
after another they are crushed as they lay
themselves down before this Juggernaut
of Radicalism. First, Capt. Stuckey,
now Col. Weistling, both had to be
slaughtered to appease this new god
who has set himself up to be worship
ped by the Radical party in this district.

JOII.V t'F.SSX\'H MODFXTi'.
Seldom have we witnessed, says the
| Chambersburg Valley Spirit , such an
outrageous violation of all the rules of
decency as that of which the Itadical
County Convention was guilty last
week. Col. George I>. Weistling had
heen announced by his friends as a can
didate for Congress. No other person
was named for the position from this
county. It was supposed by Democrats, !
who are accustomed to the observance j
of the rules of etiquette in their Con
ventions as well as in social life, that
the Conferees from this county would
be conceded to Col. Weistling. But
not so. For weeks prior to the assem
bling of the Convention, the Colonel
was subjected to the most virulent a
buse published in tiie columns of the j
' party organ. He was bitterly tie- j
nounced for presuming to claim the re
commendation of this county. The ;
| Repository gave all the space that was
asked for to those whoseemed to delight
in traducing Col. Weistling and bis
friends. But when his friends rallied j
to his support and sought to defend
him against the attacks of an anony
mous scribbler, they wore denied the
opportunity. "All our columns to
traduce, but not one square to defend,"
was the magnanimous motto of the ;
Editors of the Radical organ, who seem
to have fallen in love with little John !
Cessna.
When the delegate election in the j
North Ward of this Borough resulted
! in the choice of Weistling delegates,
the Cessna men got up a small secession
: movement, and bolted. They threat
ened to elect other delegates.—ln some
way, however, the matter was arranged
and the Convention was spared the an
noyance of a contest between rival sets
of delegates for seats in the Conven
j tion.
On the night before the Convention
; assembled, John Cessna, with his char
| aeteristic modesty, appeared upon the j
ground, brought here by invitation, j
to assist in slaughtering Colonel Weist
; ling in his own County. His friends j
' had been active and had succeeded in J
having the Convention "set up." And j
on the ballot being taken, Cessna was
declared to be the choice of this Coun- j
j ty for Congress.
Then came the riehsst part of the |
! whole performance. Mr. Adams, one
; of the avowed friends of Cessna, intro
, duced a resolution which was intended
as a healing salve for Colonel Weist
; ling. It eulogized him in glowing
language, complimented him upon
his services in the field, commended
his fidelity to his party and gave him
credit for commanding talents. But
Colonel Weistling was not in a humor
|to be "soft-soddered." With the in
stinct of a gentleman he spurned the
proffered compliment, knowing well
the hollownessof the friendship which
prompted it. Eloquently, earnestly,
and with masterly skill, he dissected
the resolution and exhibited its total
inconsistency with the former action
of the Convention. The Cessna dele
gates, who evidently felt that they had
been guilty of a mean trick quailed
under the manly words that fell from
his lips. Another effort was made to
press the resolution, but, with an ear
nestness and significance that could
not be mistaken, the Colonel uttered
another vigorous protest, and it was
withdrawn.
John Cessna regards it as a crime
for any one to oppose him. Possessed
of more impudence and self conceit
than it would be safe to entrust any
| ten men with, he supposes that people
everywhere have the same opinion of
him that lie has of himself. It would
be a mistake too, to charge him with
having any keen sense of honor, or
any of the notions of propriety which
would have kept a man of refined sen
sibilities away from Chambersburg
during the session of this Con
vention. He came here to ride rough
shod over Colonel Weistling, to crush
his opponents beneath his feet and to
teach them that they must never be
come refractory on his hands hereaf
ter.
But the Convention was not satis
fied with slaughtering the only candi
date from this County for Congress in
order to satisfy the demands of the
little Bedford God, but it must needs
add insult to injury. Out of all the
gentlemen of the Radical party in this
County, the President selected two con-
ferees who must be specially obnoxi
ous to Colonel Weistling, one of them
being the reputed author of the articles
which assailed him so bitterly, and
the other, one of our neighbors of the
JieposUury who refused to let the Col
onel in to a defence.
This is a Radical quarrel and of
course with it we have nothing to do.
But we have felt it our duty as journal
ists lo thus publicly call attention to
the shabby treatment which the sup
porters of that little demagogue, John
Cessna, extended to Colonel Weistling,
who, however Radical he may be in
polities, is nevertheless a thorough
gentleman.
John Cessna has thus succeeded in
securing the conferees from this Coun
ty. We congratulate him on his suc
cess. We have been wishing for him
to run at a time when it would be in
the power of the Democracy to "lay
him out" and we opine that he has hit
| the right time. We propose to move
immediately upon his works.
To the deep mortification of being \
misrepresented in Congress by illiter-
I ate, nasal-tongued. carpet-bag adven
turers, there is yet a heavier weight of
humiliation for the Boi#hern people to
bear in the election of their Presiden- j
| tial electors by the pretty carpet-bag
gers and Freedmen's Bureau clerks,
who comprise their Legislatures.
The negro and scallawag members
of the Texas Convention have voted
themselves fifteen dollars a day for
their valuable services in making a con
; stitution. Thus, says the Louisville
Journal, they have out-niggered and 1
out-seallnwaged even the niggers and
seal la wags of the other Southern con
ventions.

" The War bet weent he State*, its Cause*,
Character, Conduct and results, by Hon.
i Alexander 11. Stevens, is (lie title of a
valuable work just issued by The Na
tional Publishing Co., Philadelphia.
| Pa.
Histories of the late civil war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they
' can now be numbered almost by hun
dreds, but all who are desirous of arri
! ving at a correct understanding of the
causes, and a clear history of the events
i of the lamentable war, have felt the
want of a reliable history of the same
| from a Southern standpoint, by some
representative man of the South. This
: want is about to be supplied by Alex
ander 11. Stevens. Mr. Stevens was
a most earnest protestnnt against re
i hellion, and only succumbed at the last
I moment, when his State, in spite of
his warning committed the great error.
The bare announcement that this
distinguished Statesman had deter
mined to write a book, would, of itself,
| be sufficient to kindle a lively and
| wide-spread interest in all sections of
; the country ; but when it is known
| that he has chosen as his theme the
one so fruitful as the late American
War, the absorbing interest of the
| subject, together with the evident and
| singular fitness of the author for its
| treatment, unite in awakening a curi
j osity entirely unparalleled in the an
' nals of American literature.
It presents a careful political analy
sis of the past, separating real from ap
parent causes of the late unhappy con
flict, and gives those interior lights
and shadows of the Great War, only
I known to those high officers, who
watched the flood-tide of Revolution
from its fountain-springs, and which
| Were so accessible to Mr. Step hens from
his position as second officer of the Con
federacy.
To a public that has been surfeited
| with apjmrently simitar product km*,
it presents a change of fare, both a
greeable and salutary, and an intellec
| tual treat of the highest order. The
; Great American War has at last found
a historian worthy of its importance,
and at whose hands it receives that ;
, moderate, candid and impartial treat
ment which truth and justice so ur-
I gently demand.

THE NEW POST OFFICE LAW. —The j
post office law just passed by Congress
contains some important changes in
the mode of conducting the business of
the department, and as all our readers i
are more or less interested iu sending j
and receiving letters and newspapers, j
we publish some of the provisions of ■
the new law for their information.— ;
The law provides that all letters on 1
which the name of the sender isendors- ;
ed shall be returned to him if not call- \
for within thirty days; it doubles the j
compensation of postmasters for the
payment of money orders, but reduces
the fees on the same. It permits
weekly newspapers sent to regular
subscribers in the county where pub
lished to he delivered free of postage
from the post office nearest the place of
publication ; it also authorizes the issue
of duplicate money orders. This law
also makes it a felony of high charac
ter to use postage stamps a second time
knowingly and authorises the Post
master General to prescribe a uniform
for letter carriers, and makes it a misde
meanor for any one else to wear the
same. ______________
"'Tis the penalty of nature that all

Mr. Seth Boyden, the strawberry j

the course of twenty years he could
raise strawberries as large as pineap

now grown.
New York seems determined to beat

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor a copy. This i
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
| time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WoR
and put your Democratic newspaper in
the hands of every Republican who wit
read. If you will do this you will
| accomplish more good in six months
j than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
! ocralic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see to get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
| Now is the time to sow the seed. Af

and prejudice will beam upon the pub

and then seed-time will have passed.

A NEW REMEDY IN CONSUMPTION. -
A Physician who had Consumption for several
years, with frequent bleedings of the lungs, cured
himself with a medicine unknown to the profes
sion, when his case appeared hopeless. He is the
only physician who has used it in his own person,
or who has any knowledge of its virtues ; and he
can ascribe the degree of health he now enjoys to
nothing but ihe use of his medicine ; and nothing
but utter despair and entire extinction of all hope
of recovery, together with a want of confidence in
all others induced him to hazard the experiment
To those suffering with any disease of the Lungs
