WATCH.
Already three bills have been intro
duced in Congress for the amendment,
or rather the addition, of the naturali
zation laws. Thus is clearly evinced
the purpose of the radical tricksters to
shutout immigrants from foreign lands
from the privileges of Ameaiean citi
zenship. It is the avowed purpose of
these scheming rascals 'o reintroduce
into politics the old exclusive ideas of
Know-nothingism, and to that end
Congress is to he made the principal
instrument.
Are the liberal, Democratic people of
America prepared to accept this nar
row-minded and aristocratic pro
gramme? Are we at last to retrograde
to that political level from which the
lowest in the scale of civilized nations,
China and Japan, are even now about
to emerge? Is this land of the free to
be wallet! in with laws which will ex
clude from the broad shelter of our
Constitution, the oppressed people of
other lands? What do we not owe to
the hardy and thrifty toilers who have
come over the sea to clear out our fo:-
ests, delve in our mines and build our
railroads? Nay, who are we ourselves,
but the sons and grandsons of foreign
ers who came here to be American citi
zens just as others are coming to-day?
And it is now proposed that we erect a
btrrier in the way of these men who
seek our shores that they may enjoy
the rights and immunities of a free peo
ple! It is proposed that we make them
travel the longest possible road to reach
the privilegesof citizenship ! It is pro
posed that we hamper, with averse
legislation, the refugee from foreign
persecution, who, as he first stands up
on American soil, Columbus-like,
stoops to kiss the earth, not, indeed, be
cause he has found a new world, but
because, under the generous spirit of
our Constitution and laws, he hopes
soon to call himself an American citi
zen ! Can it be that so illiberal, 30 con
tracted a proposition as this is to be se
riously entertained by the representa
tives of this noble, great and generous
people? Yes! radical demagogues are
ready to perpetrate any iniquity, no
matter how infamous, which, in their
judgment, looks to securing them in
place and power. It is even so. Con
gress is about to attempt to make a
nother Japan of this country. High
tariffs to exclude the cheap goods man
ufactured abroad, and anti-naturaliza
tion laws to exclude foreign born peo
ple from citizenship, are to do the
work.
Therefore, we say unto all people of
liberal principles, Watch ! Therefore,
we say to the German, the Irishman,
tiie Englishman, the Welshman, the
Scotchman, foreign-born citizens of
every nationality, Watch! 111 your
veins, in ours, flows the blood of the
men who are to be tabooed under this
new Know-nothing regime. They who
are to be proscribed are your kinsmen
and ours. Shall we sit with folded
hands whilst a policy looking to the
exclusion of your kindred and ours
from the rights which we enjoy, is a
bout to be established in this boasted
land of freedom ? Never, never! We
repeat it, then, Watch, and especially,
Watch the radical leaders in Congress !
THE celebrated McArdle case has
been up before the Supreme Court again,
and, 011 motion of Judge Black, the
first Friday of February has been set
apart for an argument as to whether
the court has been deprived of jurisdic
tion in the case by the act of Congress.
GRANT is said to be worth halfa mil
lion- When he entered the service,
during the rebellion, he was so poor
that his friends had to purchase an
equipment for him. The blotxl of the
slaughtered, and the hard earnings of
the workingman have made him rich.
Radicalism pays.
Gov. GEARY made more fuss about
the abuses of the pardoning power
than any other governor we know of,
and has reprieved- more murderers and
scoundrels for the time he has been in
office than any of his predecessors.
TIIE Radicals are inaugurating re
trenchment and reform by advocating
the advancement of Grant's safe try as
President toone hundred thousand dol
lars per annum. Better men would
have filled the office for twenty-five
thousand.
BEFORE the election :
I<et us have Peace.— U. S. Grant.
After the election :
Troops are stili needed in the South
ern States. U. S. Grant.
GEN. BITLEK has introduced a bill
to repeal the tenure of office act, passed
the 20th of March 1 St>7. He evidently
don't want Grant "bottled" after the
fourth of March next.
WASIIUURXE, Graut's keeper, is to
be Secretary of the Treasury. If we
are to take this as aspeeimen of Grants
Cabinet it will be a.sorry one indeed.
VR ENI HEX I S M ENSIE.
We art- compelled to apologize
to our readers for not presenting to
them in (hi i tte the Prr sident's M< --
-age. We had intended to treat them
with an "Extra" containing the nic.--
sage, and had made an arrangement
with an eastern daily paper office to
send u- enough early copies to supply
our subscribers in advance of our regu
lar issue. We regret that this arrange
ment was not carried out by the par
ties who had agreed to supply us, and
we are therefore under the necessity of
going to pres.- with but a synopsis of
the great and comprehensive views of
the condition of the country taken in
President Johnson's last message to
Congress, We will give the message
it) full next week. The following is an
outline of what the President says:
First. Thai the Southern States re
main prostrated in industry, their re
sources cut off, a good portion of their
population disfranchised, their consti
tutional privileges denied through
Congressional enactment, and most of
them remaining under military rule.
Second. Commending the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, and in
dorsing its views fora return to specie
payments througim reduction of ex
jienditures, revising taxatiou, and
gradual contraction of the paper cir
culation, with suggestion for legislation
for one currency only, and that the
National Banks should have their
powers restricted.
Third. That our foreign affairs are
in a favorable condition. The negoti
ations with great Britian regarding
the Alabama claims, so called, have
not reached an end. Certain portions
of the proposed protocol of arbitiation
were not approved by this Govern
ment, and have been returned to
Minister Johnson. The resignation*of
the British ministry is regarded only
as a temporary hindrance. Many de
tails relative to these claims are not
deemed proper to communicate in the
message.
Offers of arbitration between Para
guay and Brazil have been declined
and the course of Paraguay is com
mented on, though there is an absence
of official detail aliout the late outrage
of Lopez. The government has made
new treaties for the protection of nat
uraiizad citizens abroad. It has recog
nized the new Provisional Junta of
Spain as a de facto government, but
has received no formally accredited
Minister for the same. The affairs of
Mexico are satisfactory. Arrange
ments for a mixed Commission to set
tle the claims of Americans in that
country are in progress. The Govern
ment has failed, so far, in its negotia
tions for the purchase of a naval sta
tion in the West Indies, and learns
that the French are trying to get the
Bay of Sainana from the Dominican
government.
Fourth—Official facts show enormous
frauds in tiie revenue, which must be
corrected or the revenue will fail and the
nation be involved in ruin. The mes
sage calls for strong legislation on this
subject, and urges the repeal of the civ
il tenure act, which is regarded as a
hindrance to the removal of corrupt of
ficials.
Fifth—The President rt fers to the
Indian troubles and views of the Peace
Commissioners,and fears that the mil
itary establishment expenditures will
be largely increased on the Plains.
Sixth—He favors the withdrawal of
troops from the Southern States and
the reduction of the army, and gives a
resume of the Land and Pension sys
tem.
it is apparent that Congress will
have work enough before it for a ses
sion, if even a moiety of the Presi
dent's suggestions are legislated upon.
There are three classes of evils from
which the people demand and expect
some relief: First. Enormous frauds
upon revenue. Second. Excessive
taxation resulting from these frauds,
and the burden of the national debt.
Third. The loose and wasteful appro
priation bills of Congress generally.
It must be done. Universal repudia
tion and chaos otherwise are threaten -
ed. __________
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.— The
Presidential electors met in their var
ious State capitals, on Wednesday the
2d insst., aa<l counted the Presidential
vote. Those of Pennsylvania met in
the Senate Chamber at 12 o'clock, M.
The electors selected Thomas M. Mar
shall as President. S. S. Rutan, of
Beaver county, was selected as messen
ger to carry the sealed report of the
College to Washington. The vote was
then taken and Ulysses S. Grunt, of
Illinois, was declared to have received
twenty-six votes for the Presidency,
amid applause. A similar vote was
given for .Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana,
for Vice President.
GRANT is in favor of a constitutional
amendment, establishing manhood, or
negro suffrage in all the States. So say
some of his radical friends.
I GRANT, in a late "speech," says he is
setting the public men of this country
an example worthy of imitation. So
he is. He is showing them "how not
to do it."
CONGRESS stultified itself by refusing
to have the President's Message read.
What else could be expected from that
remnant of an ill spent career ?
THE radical leaders are about to re
pudiate the Chicago platform on the
suffrage question, just as they have re
pudiated every profession they ever
made.
WENDELL PHILIPS wants more
blooodshed. He says:—"To-morrow
comes the fight!" Well you will not
be in it, oh, wretch ! with anything but
your ribald tongue.
GRANT despises oratory for the same
reason that the fox in the fable pro
n lunced the grapes unfit to eat.
1 irst-class New York residences now
contain a Billiard room, a chapel, and a
theatre or concert saloon.
Massachusetts lias already had nine
snow storms.
Nebraska removed its capilal to the
city of Lincoln last week.
The cattle plague continues to ravage
Western Wisconsin.
tTfjc 3ScMort( pUctifoxTf,
I.E'L' IS HATE L'EUE.
Among, the olive branches which
have lieen promptly held out upon the
reassembling of Congress, in response
to the maxim of (ieneral Grant, "Let
us have peace," is the hill introduced
by Senator I lice upon the first day of
the session, requiring the Secretary of
War to deliver to the Governors of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and
Arkansas, at the seat of Government
of each of said States, for the use of
the milita tberof, us many serviceable
Springfield rifled muskets of calibre
fifty-eight, with accoutrements, and
serviceable field-pieces with equip
ments, as the Governors of each State,
respectfully, shall require, not exceed
ing two thousand rifled muskets and
two field-pieces for each Congressional
district in those States. It is also re
quired that the arms are to be deliver
ed only on certificates of the Gover
nors showing to the satisfaction of the
Secretary of War that the regiments
and companies for which they are re
quired are organized of loyal citizens.
It will be remembered that the States
for which this extraordinary military
provision is asked for the preservation
of order are all reconstructed States.
This is the working of a dangerous pro
cess of restoring the Union. This,
moreover, is the peace which was to be
assured to the country by the election
of General Grant, but which '.ve hard
ly think is of the sort meant by him
when he coined his famous expression.
It is only in the hands of "loyal citi
zens" that it is proposed arms shall he
placed. It is well enough known what
is meant by that designation. By
"loyal citizens" is meant the black
and white radicals of theSouth, all oth
ers being considered "rebels," now and
forever. The proposition, therefore, is
simply to arm one party in the recon
structed Htates against another, and
hold down the mass of the Southern
white population by the bayonets of
their former slaves.
What use these so-called loyal men
will make of their authority is not dif
ficult to divine from the experience of
Tennessee and Arkansas. Populations
which would cheerfully submit to the
soldiers of the United States, will only
lie goaded into revolt and resistance by
the arming of a paity among them
selves, and that party composed of the
most ignorant and reckless part of the
population, to stand sentry over them.
"Let us have peace!" The derange
ment of business and labor which
must follow protracted disorder and
strife in the South cannot fail to affect
injuriously the interests of the whole
nation. If ultra partizans care not for
the peace or welfare of the Southern
States, let them at least care for the
prosperity of other sections and take
heed lest the steel they plunge through
the South reach the vitals of the coun
try.—Baltimore San.
The Supremo i'ojior of Congress.
In view of the fact that Congress has
virtually declared that the constitution
al requirement that the President shall
communicate to Congress "informa
tion of the state of the Union, and re
commend to their consideration such
measurers as he shall judge necessary
and expedient," is no longer to be re
garded, it has been suggested that in
future Presidential messages be wholly
dispensed with, and Congre-s allowed
to learn of the state of the country
from such sources as it may have at
its command. Mr. Johnson in his
message clearly and forcibly points out
the evils which have followed Radical
reconstruction, a- well as those which
are certain yet to be entailed by it.—
This, in Radical estimation, is nothing
more nor less than rank treason.
What right has the President of the
United States to hold or express an o
pinion if it do not coincide to thejvery
letter with the views and opinions of
the Radical majority? True, the Con
stitution requires that he shall give in
formation from time to time of the
state of the country, and recommend
for the consideration of Congre-s such
measures as he shall judge necessary
and expedient. But what of that?—
Andrew Johnson should have known
that, shorn of nearly all his other
prerogatives as President, he would
not he allowed t • retain this one. It
was not so in the days of Jackson,
whose famous "Protest" embodied
language far stronger and more object
ionable than any employed by Presi
dent Johnson, and yet the Senate gave
it a respectful hearing. But times
change, and men change with them. —
Our country is not what it once was
Our President has been stripped of
his constitutional powers, the func
tions of the supreme Court have been
abrogated, and Congress is now to l.e
regarded as the supreme controlling
power in the land. It has usurped the
powers of the three departments of
Government, and woe betide the man,
however high his official position, who
dares to say it nay.— Evening Herald.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 11—Mr. Douglas
Love, foreman ofthe Detmold coal mine
on George's creek, about 8 miles from
Frost burg, was murdered at bis house
on Sunday night. He was called to
the door by two strangers, and as
soon be appeared was fired at from pis
tols in the hands of each. One ball
entered the door, aud the other one
penetrated his brain and killed him al
most in-tantly. No clue to the mur
derers lias been obtained, but it is
thought they were men who had re
cently been discharged from work by
Mr. Love.
Worcester, Mass., Dec. 12.—'To-day

the head. Mrs. Enwright received one
shot through the head and two through
the right hand. She is expected to re
cover. Tully will die.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s._the third sos
! sion of the Fortieth Congress com
menced at Washington yesterday, with
i a full attendance in Imth houses, in
the Senate the credentials of the Hon.
j Joshua Hill, one of the Senators elect
from Georgia, were presented and ob
jected to by some of the extreme rad
icals, and were finally laid upon the
j table. A number of bills and resolu
tions were then introduced and order
ed to be printed, among them two or
, three providing for universal -suffrage
| in all the States.
In the House, Mr. Menard, the col
ored me in hi r elect from Louisiana, ap
peared on the floor, but bis credentials
were not presented. A resolution was
adopted directing the committee on
the judiciary to inquire into the state
of political affairs in Virginia, Missis
sippi and Texas. Mr. Eliot introduc
ed a bill continuing the freedinen's
bureau in Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas. Mr. Kelley introduced a bill
proposing an amendment to the con
stitution providing that no State
shall deny the elective franchise to
any citizen on account of race or color.
Mr. Morrill, of Pennsylvania, offered
a resolution declaring that Reverdy
Johnson's conduct in England was pre
judicial to the interests and dignity of
the United States, and requesting the
President to order his recall at once.—
This gave rise to some debate, but it
was finally referred to the committee
|on foreign affairs. The resolution
j seemed to meet with very little favor
. among the members. A resolution
was adopted instructing the cornmit
; tee on ways and means to inquire into
the expediency of providing by law
for the resumption of specie payments.
I Several other bills and resolutions re
lative to the currency, specie payments,
the elective franchi e, etc., were intro
duced and referred. A joint commit
tee'having been appointed to wait on
the President, reported that he would
send in his annual message to-niorrow.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.
The Senate had a brief session, yes
terday, an 1 transacted no business of
general interest. The House passed
a bill to Increase the tariff on copper
yeas 107, nays 51. A bill was introduc
ed and referred to repeal the tenure-of
office act, and a bill passed to restore
the bureau of Indian affairs to the
War Department. After a long speech
by Mr. Robinson, of New York, in
relation to the imprisonment of Ameri
can citizens in Ireland, the House ad
journed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.

relieve the political disabilities of Chief
Justice Moses, of South Carolina. A
similar bill also passed the House.—

Pending the motion to suspend the
reading, the Senate adjourned.
lu the House a bill was passed pro
viding for an wlevtion in Virginia on
the fourth Thursday of May next, on
the question of the ratification or re
jection of the State constitution adopt
ed in 1867, and also at the same time
to choose members of Congress, State
officers and members of the Legisla
ture—the Legislature to assemble in
September next. The President's mes
sage was received and read. After
some debate it was laid on the table.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.
In the Senate yesterday, after choos
ing the regular standing committees,
an interesting debate took place on the
bill from the House to transfer the
Indian bureau to the War Department,
after which it was referred to the com
mittee on Indian affairs. Several bills
were then introduced and referred.—
The unfinished business pending on
Wednesday, being the motion to sus
pend the reading of the President's
message, was then resumed. After
some discus-Jon the message was read,
laid on the table and ordered to be
printed.
In the House, the bill which passed
the Senate at the ia*t session for the
sale of the government property at
Harper's Ferry was passed, as were
also several others of less interest. A
bill was introduced, to regulate the
issue of legal-tender notes and to pro
vide for their redemption. Both hous
es adjourned until Monday next. The
House, previous to adjourning, adopt
ed a resolution to take a recess from
the 21st instant until the sth of Jan
uary. The Senate have yet to concur
in this resolution. The object of the
recess is to enable the several commit
tees to prepare business for final ac
tion.
On Wednesday, in the House, Mr.
Broomall offered a resolution denounc
ing the financial sentiment of the mes
sage, and declaring against all forms
and degrees of repudiation. Mr.
Schenck, of Ohio, proposed that the
message be simply laid on the table,
without reference and without print
ing, and desired to submit a motion to
that effect. Mr. Washburne modified
bis motion so as to have no extra cop
ies printed, which was agreed to—yeas
128, nays 28.
A lady recently advertised in a city
