PREPARE!
The rank-and-file of the Radical par- j
ty can now make up their minds to
meet the issue of Negro Suffrage in a
shape that is without disguise. It is
authoritatively announced that Wil
liam D. Kellev, member of Congress
from Philadelphia, will at the next
session of Congress, bring to a vote his
measure to enforce Negro Suffrage
throughout the Union. This is exact
ly what was predicted by us Democrats ;
during the recent campaign. We call
to witness every man, "Republican"
or Democrat, who listened to theeditor
of this paper when on the stump, pri
or to the late election. Did we not
tell you that if Grant would be elected,
such would be the case? And what :
was your answer? "Oh no! we can't
believe it. But if it -houkl turn out
as you say, we will certainly vote with
the Democrats!"
Now, mark our words, oar prediction
will be fulfilled, is vow in process of fid.
fitment.
A Convention of Negroes was held
at Han i-burg, on Friday last, which
was addressed by Morrow B. Lowry,
State Senator from the Erie district,
oneof the most prominent and able
men in the Radical organization, lie
advocated the propriety of at once con
ferring the right to vote upon every
uegro in the country. A committee
of darkies waited upon Gov. Geary,
who assured them of his sympathy
with the objects of their convention. —
Isaac I>. Gara, Gov. Geary's Deputy
Secretary of the Commonwealth, wrote
the following letter to the convention,
which we copy verbatim from the State
Guard of last Saturday :
STATE or PK.NSSVLTAXIA,
OFFICE OF SECRET ART OF COMMONWEALTH. -
HARIIINBLRO, PA., NOV. 13. IS6B. J
To Merryman Cupit and others, Com
mittee :
GENTLEMEN : Accept my thanks
for your kind invitation to visit the
Convention of Colored men now in
session in the Wesleyan Union Church
ofllarrisburg. Although I cannot be
personally present, yet I shall be with
you in spirit, heartily sympathizing,
as I do, in your struggles for full re
cognition as citizens of this State in
common with your brethren of other
States. Trusting that the day is not far
distant when the ballot will be put into
the hands of everij colored, man in Penn
sylvania,
I am, yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC B. GAKA.
Is any additional evidence needed to
prove that it is the purpose of the Rad
ical party to enfranchise the negro
throughout the whole country ? Are
you prepared to endorse this move
ment, "Republicans" of Bedford coun
ty ? Are you ready to degrade anil de
base the franchise by extending the
number of ignorant and licentious
voters? Is there not already enough
corruption, purchased voting, intimi
dation and fraud in our elections? If
you are not, prepare for i as soon as
possible! Prepare to resist it, or you
will lie forced to acquiesce in its accom
plishment. The election is over. We
have no part izan purpose to subserve,
no voles to make for any cadidate, by
an appeal like this. We only state what
we believe to be the God's truth, and
only ask you to consider it in a spirit
of candor and fairness. We ask you to
watch Congress, which will soon again
be in session, and see for yourselves, if
what we say turns out to be true or
false.
HOLDING THEM TO THEIR PROMISE.
A convention of Negroes was held at
Harrisburg, the other day, which adop
ted a series of resolutions demanding
the right of suffrage and perfect equal
ity, in civil condition, with the white
man. These resolutions were evident
ly written by someofthe white negroes
in the Radical party, and the conven
tion was, doubtless, gotten up by the
ultra Radical politicians, for the pur
pose of forcing Negro Suffrage on their
party, and through it, upon the coun
try. We are assured in the preamble
to the resolutions adopted by this con
vention, that "the Rebpublican party
"have given us additional assurances
"from time to time of their determina
"tion, when once they had the power,
"to carry out every line of the Declar
"ation of Independence,and make good
"every promise made by the party in
"the complete elevation and enfian
"chisement of colored men wherever
"they may reside within the national
"domain."
fn view of these "assurances," the
resolutions demand that the Radical
party shall now confer the right of suf
frage upon the blacks in all the States.
The "colored brethren" have deter
mined to hold the white Radicals to
their promises. We think that, for
once in their history, the latter will be
true to their pledges. They want the
negro as a tool, and will, therefore, try
to enfranchise him.
4 A EI FORMA.
The telegraph is very mute iu re
gard to the result of the election
in the Golden State. The Democrats
have elected two of the three Congress
men, and it may turn out, in the end,
that Seymour has carried the State,
The vote is very close.

In the worltl'd bro*d field of battle.
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dnmb driven cattle,
Be a htro in the strife.
If the nian recently elected President
of the United States ehooes to mark
out a course for himself, independent
of the Republican party, he has the
opportunity to do so. We are not a
ware that he has given any pledges
which hold him to an observance of
Radical policy, and if he goes into the
presidential chair with hea i and heart
devoted to constitutional government
and the best interests of his country, ;
however Radical politicians may howl
and threaten, he will find himself shs
tained by a power that all the influ
ences and appliances of that party can
not shake. If the hero of Fort Donel
soti, Pittsburg Landing and the Wil
derness, has the .-tuff in him, the mor
al courage and patriotism, to serve his
country instead of a party led by gradu
ates in the schools of fanaticism and
sectionalism, he has a glorious chance
to do so. He is pledged to "no poli
cy." He gave no broad assent to the
Chicago Platform. He once declared,
long before his nomination, that he
did not desire and would not accept
the office unless as president of the
whole people. Let him recur to those
early utterances and conform his con
duct to the policy they imply ; let him,
in his administration of Fedefal af
fairs, consult, not the wishes of the
politicians and demagogues of the par
ty that elected him, but the substan
tial interests and constitutional rights
of the masses North and South ; let him,
in short, be a moral "hero in the
strife," and he will find himself sus
tained by the people of the country
and win a renown before the glory of
which all his military exploits will
pale.
LIARS OK KMUA.
Suppose the country take the Radi
cals at their word—suppose that they
are taken asa truth-telling party, and
that they mean what they say—sup
pose, in short, that when they charter
ize us as a disloyal party, as the rebel
Democracy , as the party in sympathy
with reliefs and traitors, they speak
their deliberate convictions, and desire
to lie so understood by the American
people, what an all-powerful and in
vincible army of rebels and traitors we
would have in our midst!
If Radical editors know the plain
meaning of plain words, they are eith
er a pack of graceless liars, or else they
judge their readers to be fools.
The recent Presidential election
shows that nearly five millions of votes
woro actually polled. Of those the De
mocracy cast two and a quarter mil
lions. But in Viginia, Mississippi and
Texas elections were not held. Had
the people of these three States been
permitted to vote, they would have
given a majority of at least 1 ">O,OOO.
Then take the number disfranchised in
the States of Missouri, Tonne-see, West
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Alabama, Arkansas and Florida, ag
gregating at least and we find
that if Radical editors tell the truth , the
rebel army will outnumber that of the
| loyal army by at least a quarter of a
million.
THE FORTY-FIRST IHMiRKSS.
The Congress which will date its ex
istence from the inauguration of Gen.
Grant, will contain at least ninety
Democrats. The present Congress
musters but fifty Democrats and Con
servatives. This destroys the Radical
two thirds in the forty-first Congress.
II ence as much villany as possible may
be expected to be crowded into the ex
piring session of the fortieth Congress.
Kelly will at once bring up his Negro
Sutfrago bill, for he dares not trust it to
the Congress elected this year. Snap
judgment will be the Radical order of
the day. Mark it!
THE Radicals of Georgia have held a
meeting, at which it was resolved to
exclude, if possible, the participation
of negroes in politics, they having be
come fully satisfied from the results of
the late election that negro suffrage
will not work. Had these scalawags
arrived at this conclusion twelve
months ago, much of the trouble that
now prevails in the South would have
been obviated, and that disturbed sec
tion would have been in the enjoyment
of comparative peace. We have, in
this action of the Georgia Radicals, a
striking contrast with the proposed
action of the Northern Radicals.—
Having had a fair opportunity of prac
tically testing impartial suffrage in the
South, the "carpet-baggers" are going
dead up against it, while in the North
the leaders of the party are making it
a pet measure.

THE EEECTIOX.
It is now conceded that Seymour and
Blair have carried the State of Oregon
by a small majority. This renders it
certain tiiat Gen. Grant has been elec
ted by military violence and fraud.
The Electoral vote, if constituted ac
cording to the will of the people, would
stand as follows:
FOR SEYMOUR.
i New York 33
New Jersey 7
I < )regon 3
AH the old slave States 116
Total 169
Whole number Electoral votes 317
Of this Seymour and Blair have se
cured a majority upon a fair and honest
vote. Who supposes that North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mis
souri and West Virginia are for
; GRANT? It is safe to say that no one
man in five, unobstructed by any out
i side interference, would vote for him ;
yet, by military violence and by the
sending to the polls, under its auspices,
of hordes of illegal negro voters, these
| States have been declared carried for
; him. Their votes, together with those
of Mississippi, Virginia and Texas,
which, by a pure act of military des
potism, were not allowed to vote at all,
! decided the contest. The result of all
; may be summoned up as follows:
SEYMOUR was elected by the legal
J electors and white people of the Uni
ted States.
GRANT was not elected, but by the
power of the bayonet, sending several
hundred thousand negroes to the polls,
and keeping hack several hundred
thousand whites, he was declared
chosen. This is all there is of it.—Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
THE Lancaster Intelligencer contains
some very judicious observations in re
gard to the National Democratic Com
mittee, and suggests that the chair of
the committee he filled by a more effi
cient incumbent than the present one.
Democrats generally will agree with
the Intelligencer. Mr. Aug. Belmont,
doubtless, is a very shrewd financial
operator in Wall street, and is a faith
ful agent of the Rothschilds and other
foreign hanker-, hut he is totally out
of place as chairman of the Democratic
Committee. He is more concerned
about his per cents, than about the in
terests of the Democratic party, or of
the country at large. A successful
coup among the bulls and the hears of
Wall street, is of more consequence to
him than a Democratic triumph.—
While he is attending to the sales of
his stocks and bonds, he has very lit
tle of his valuable time to devote to
the cause to which he professes alle
giance. He has hchl the po.-' iin far
too long already. He does not pos
sess the confidence of any considerable
portion of the Democratic party. At
the same lime his personal excellence
and amiability are freely owned, as
well as his orthodoxy.
The number of children who attend
school in the United States is about
5,000,000, and the number of female
teachers is about 100,000. The pupils
use 20,000,000 books, which cost $18,•
750,000.
England's experiments with so-called
improvements in fire-arms havecost her

TOI ABE TO PAY THE PKH'EX.
A New York Mongrel organ, an or
gan that leads the "conservative" wing
of the poverty-creating party, says, in
a late editorial, that "the sum of $25,-
000 per year is too small to support the
President in proper style ; it should be
at least SIOO,OOO to meet the necessary
expenditures as Chief Executive of the
nation. President Grant should not
be compelled to live in the cheap
boarding house style." How do you
like this talk, tax-payer? This is the
idea of the New York Time*. This
is a specimen of "Republicanism," the
plain, unpretending simplicity which,
we have all been told, was the strength
of all good governments, and which
the leaders of the great reform party j
pretended that they desired to restore. I
The sum of §25,000 per year is only
sufficient to enable the newly elected
to live in cheap boarding house style.
In other words, the style in which Mr.
Johnson now lives, the style which
tlie "late lamented" enjoyed, is not
good enough for General Grant, and
the now groaning tax-payers must
prepare to sweat out bigger drops of
blood, that the new idol shall roll in
the luxury of a pampered monarchist.
Go ahead with your "reforms" gentle
men ; not only give your new idol the
$100,(KM) per year, but move to give it
tj him for life, and move also to keep
him in office during that life. I)o not
bother your white slaves, who are to
pay the price of all this in bigger taxa
tion, with any more election farces.
Bet up at once a permanent despotism,
increase your army, and then apply
the screws to the thirty millions of
white population, and see how much
they will stand.— Day-Booh.
WEST VIRGINIA uesrotEsx.
[From the Greenbrier Independent.]
We have been surprised more than
once at lite want of information abroad,
even ;n the adjoining States, concern
ing West Virginia despotism.
it is a fact of easy demonstration,
that even the Southern States, ruled as
they are by the sword, are more free
to-day than the always loyal State of
West Virginia.
In this State there are not less than
twenty-five thousand disfranchised
citizens. No, not "citizens!" for the
amended constitution of the State de
clares that they can never become citi
zens; although they were horn on her
soil, have lived here all their lives, and
are heaviiy taxed to support the muni
cipal, State, and national govern
ments. They arc aliens on their na
tive soil, as lai as the State constitu
tion can make them aliens.
In this county alone there are 1,400
disfranchised men, comprising the
wealth, intelligence, public spirit, and
moral worth oi Greenbrier.
In this town, with a population of
1,200 there are only eight voters ; and
yet in this county there is not one dis
loyal man, excepting the iiadicals, who
are all disloyal, in West Virginia
there are not less than 25,000 men who
cannot hold any office, sit on a jury, or
teach a public school.
In West Virginia there are not less
than 25,000 men wiio cannot obtain
judgment on old debts due them, or
enforce contracts.
In West Virginia the taxes fur coun
ty and township purposes are eight
times heavier than bofr©tho war.
In West Virginia we have five paid
officers now lor one before the war.
In West Virginia the salaries of
county officers are double, and s me of
them treble, of what they were before
the war.
In west Virginia, especially in the
border counties, the offices arc, with
few exceptions, filled by the most ig
norant and vicious of the population.
In West Virginia three men in each
county, known as the County Board
| of Registration, are actually licensed,
by an act of the Legislature, to enter
on record that their fellow-citizens are
: perjurers!
In West Virginia, the County Boards
j of Registration have entire control ol
1 every office in the State. The Board
j of Registration of Ohio County can
unseat Governor Boreman by merely
| scratching his name from the list of
| registered voters. The Board of lteg
i istration of Monroe County can unseat
Judge Nat. Harrison in the same
| way. No man can hold office unless
j he is a voter. No man can be a voter
■ unless he is registered. No man can
• register, or remain registered, without
i the consent of the county hoards of
| registration. Scratch Boreman's name
j or Harrison's name from the registry,
| and the sceptre of power drops from
i their nerveless grasp.
Did such a state of things ever before
! exist in any civilized community?
i Has as mean, contemptible, sneaking,
; cowardly, brutal a despotism as that
i of West Virginia ever before rejoiced
! the hearts of devils, or called for the
| avenging bolts of heaven?
"Mountaineers always free!" Oh,
what a mockery of a noble sentiment!
What a brazen-faced lie! There is no
freedom in these mountains, except
the freedom of ignorance and villany
to lord it over intelligence and honesty.
WANT OF TOLERATION.--Gen. But
ler, in his late speech at Lowell, in ac
knowledgment of the greetings of his
fellow-citizens, after dealing in the
most truculent menaces to the South,
wound up by saying: "If the Repub
lican party is true to the great Demo
cratic principles of Jefierson and oth
ers, it will hold the government for a
generation to come." In theinaugural
address of Mr. Jefferson, at his first
term of office, is this passage: "If
there be any among us who would
wish to dissolve this Union, or to
change its republican form, let them
stand, undisturbed, as monuments of
the safety with which error of opinion
may be tolerated where reason is left free
to combat it." If the Republican party
proposes to act on the "Democratic
principles of Jefferson," it will exer
cise at least as much toleration towards
those whose only offense is voting for
the Democratic ticket as he proposed
towards those whoseaiins wore against
the Union and a republican form of
government—which no one charges
against the South in the late canvass.—

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE, for Decem
ber, is already en our lable. It is a
splendid number, with two steel en
gravings, a mammoth fashion plate, a
colored pattern in Berlin work, and
nearly fifty wood cuts. The principal
steel engraving, "The Orphan's Christ
mas Eve," will touch every heart. We
do not wonder at the immense circula
tion of "Peterson," —said to be the lar
gest in the world—for it really giv< s
more for the money than any other.
Every body ought to subscribe for it.
Its stories are the best published any
where. In 1801), in addition to its usu
al quantity of short stories, four origi
nal copyright novelets will be given.

HOLIDAY NI MHEU.— GODEY'S LA
DY'S BOOK, for December, 1868, ha
been received. This fine old standard
periodical is the best, in point of liter
ary material and beautiful illustrations,
that we have ever seen. The fashion
plates are not only very elegant design-,
but unusually fine specimens of art and
colloring. A chief excellence and at
traction of the Lady's Book consists of
the morality inculcated by its reading
matter. No sentence is ever found in
its pages that would bring a blush to
the cheeks of the sex for whom it is es
pecially intended, and every portion
of its variety conveys a lesson of moral
ity that is calculated to teach its read
ers the beauty of virtue and goodness.
Now is the time to make up clubs for
1869. Terms: One copy, one year, 83.00;
2 copies $6.00; 3copies $7.50; 4 copies,
$10,00; 8 copies and an extra copy to

king nine copies, $21.00. Address L.

WE know of no musical instrument for
which there is a greater demand than
for the American Organ, manufactured
by S. D. A 11. W. Smith, at Boston,
Mass., the reputation of which is based
upon its solid merit. The internal
construction differs from all other in
struments, being on a superior princi
ple, while the absence of complication
renders it less liable to get out of or
der. The action is so delicate, that its
response to the touch is as ready as the
Pianoforte, making it desirable for light
and quick music as well as for that
which is connected and sustained. We
trust our readers will take early oppor
tunity to become acquainted with these
fine instruments, as no home is com
plete without a musical instrument.—

CAN it be possible that over Five
Million Bottles of Plantation Bitters
have been sold during the past year?
It is almost incredable, nevertheless it
is absolutely true, and is the most con
vincing proof of their wonderful medi
cinal and health-restoring qualities.
Every family should be supplied with
these Bitters, at whatevercostor trouble
it may be to obtain them. Be careful
that you get the genuine, and that you
are not imposed upon by a spurious ar
ticle.
