Iht lietlfota O Friday Warning, April a, I*>W. THE WORD "WHITE." The Convention of IS3B, which formed the present Constitution of Pennsylvania, numbered among its members the Hon. J. M. Russell, and Jacob BarniloUar and A. J. ('line, Esqs., as delegates from Bedford coun ty. These gentlemen were prominent members of the Whig party and were elected to the Convention in opposi tion to the Democratic candidates. It will, perhaps, be interesting to the present generation to learn how these old Whigs voted upon the question of suffrage, which was fully discussed and deliberately settled by this Conven tion. On page 100, vol. 10 of the Proeeed- j ings and Debates of the Convention, is recorded the vote upon that article of the Constitution which confines the ! right of suffrage to white male citizens above the age of twenty-one years. The yeas upon the proposition were 77, the nays 45. Among the YIuAS are recorded the names of RUSSELL, BARN DOLLAR and CLINK. These three Whig representatives of Bedford county in the Convention of 18:18, voted to insert the word WHITE in the Constitution, or, in otlrer words, to confine the right of Suffrage to the White People of the State. Besides, this Convention contained a Whig ma jority, was presided over by a Whig and controlled by Whigs. But, now, Mr. STUTZMAX, Mr. LOXUEXEC K>*.R and Mr. WEI.I.EK propose to strike out of the Constitution what Messrs. Russell, Barndollar and Cline inserted in it. The latter submitted their work to the people, not diving to call it fin ished until it had passed the test of the ballot. But Btutzman, Longeneeker and Weller, though sworn to support the Constitution which Russell, Barn dollar and Cline assisted in framing, uudertake to repeal that Constitution, without aa much as saying to the peo ple, by your leave. The "Republican" party, too, as a body, are trying to un do what was done by the Whig Con vention of 1838. They are plotting and striving to strike out of our Binte stitution the Whig word WHITE. There are at least one thousand voters in this county who honestly believe that in voting the "Republican" tick et they are still carrying out "old Whig principles." This most singular hallucination will probably be dispelled from their minds when they find that the old Whig party deliberately ex- eluded Negroes from the ballot-box, whilst the so-called "Republican" par- ty is now exerting all its energies to force them up to it as voters. The Whig and Democratic parties were al- ways in accord upon the Negro ques tion. It is only the desperate leaders of the "Republican" party of to-day that are striving to make voters of the blacks. They want them tools to do their dirty work for them. They want to use them as voting cattle in order to keep themselves in power. They mean no good to the black man. They desire to enfranchise him only in order to make of him a stepping stone to new heights of ambition and power. James M. Russell, Jaeob Barndollar and A. J. Cline, the representatives of the old Whigs of Bedford county in the Convention of 1838, were above such artifice and trickery. Men of Bedford county! You who are still proud to call yourselves dc- scendants of Whig ancestors! Where do you stand ? Are you with Stutz inan and Ixingenecker and Weller? or do you still believe in the "Whig prin ciples" of Russell, Barndollar and Cline?" Let your future political af fiiliations decide the question. OXE of the "organs" of the Snap Judgment party in this county, says we declare that "it is not right to a rnend the Constitution." Of course this is a lie. To wholesome amend ments, if any be needed, we have no objection. What we oppose, is, the drat ruction of the Constitution. This may be done under the guise of amend ments, us well as by direct abrogation. The XVth Amendment is destructive of the Constitution, for it takes from the people a right which the Constitution reserved to them, viz: to regulate and con trol the. question of suffrage, for them selves. Suppose Congress would pro pose an amendment to the Constitu tion making Brant Emperor, and three fourths of the State legislatures would ratify it, would that be amending or destroying the Constitution? But what is the use "casting pearls before swine" or asking conundrums of a jack ass? THE mulatto Lieut. Governor of Loui-iana, Drsw, made his appear auee, the other day, upon the floor of Congress, and was the recipient of the most obsequious attentions from the "Republican" members. It is said that John Cessna was so completely awe-struck by the commanding pres ence of ids colored brother, that out of sheer reverence for him, he forbore ids habitual picking and scratching for the space of just two minutes. AT liSt. Both of the organs *f the so-called ! "Republican'' party 'f this county, j have declared in favcr of the Negro j Suffrage amendment'to the Consfitu-1 tion. As it has lioon made a party measure by the "Republican" leaders, of course these partisan sheets are bound ;o endorse it. To them it is not the XVth Amendment, but the XVth Commandment of the!r j party. Nothing better than abject sub mission to this now decree of the "Re publican" leaders, could be expected from such cowering, crawling slaves to power as the editors ofthese newspapers. Before last fall's election they did not dare to print a word in favor of Negro Suffrage. Why? Because they feared, if they did, their ticket would be dam aged, sad because the party leaders in Congress had not yet commanded their dogs throughout the country to bark. ! Now being in possession of a new lease I of power, they impudently display the i cloven foot and openly avow what j they before studiously concealed and ■ persistently denied. With such tools of party, it is not worth while to hold controversy. If conviction wore forced upon them, by facts and logic the most irresistible, they would not dare to ad mit themselves in the wrong. T'nei: I bread and butter depend upon their ! adhesion to their party loaders, and • bread and butter make thciu towards | and slaves. We only refer to their endorsement of the infamous XVth | Amendment, iu order to prove that j what we always said they would do, ; they ha ve now done. We call the at i 'ceotion of the masses of the "Republi l can" party to this fact , and now tri umphantly claim that what we asserted, j time and again, and what "Republi cans" as persistently denied, is true and verified , viz: that it teas and is the purpose of the '' Kepubllean" leaders to force Negro Suffrage upon the people.— With both of Congress, the ' President and the State Legislature, endorsing and recommending the | scheme, and the "Republican" news : paper press sustaining it, there can be no longer any doubt upon the subject. Let honest men act accordingly. SAYS one of the "organs" of the .Snap Judgment Negro Suffrage-ites: "God made of one blood all nations to dwell together on uie far-e of the earth," and "All men are created free and equal." Well, then, why don't you advise Grant to recall Custer ana Sheridan and the rest of the Indian butchers, and let the Red Man, as well as the Black, "dwell" with you "on the face of the earth?" And what about the Chinaman, whocan besworn to tell the truth only by bleeding a living chicken-cock in his presence? Is he of your blood, too, blatherskite? Nay, to come back to the race upon which you are a libel, how about young men eighteen, nineteen and twenty years of age? They are created free and are equal at least to such fools as scribble in favor of Negro Suffrage. Why don't you burst yourself a little a howling for the rights of these "men and brethren"? God, doubtless, made every body, white, black, yellow, red, of "one blood," but He divided them into races and diluted the blood of which some of them were made by substances that produce thick skulls and very little brain. By a proper classifi cation the writer in the "organ" would belong to the race or class jus' describ ed. "On the gloom of more than thirty years of night, the light of a better day tias dawned, and Pennsylvania has re deemed the bright record of her earli er days. May she take no backward step. The Republican Legislature of ISU9 has wiped out the stain of the Convention of 1836."— lied ford Inquir er. Such is a portion of the editorial re marks of the Inquirer upon tberatiflca tion of the infamous XYih Amend ment by the State Legislature. So it seems that those old Whigs, J. M. Rus sell, Jacob Barndollar and . . J. Cline, who voted in the Convention of 1838 (not 1S;)(> as the bungler of the Inquirer has it) to confine the right of suffrage to the White race, were guilty of caus ing a "night," which had a "gloom," that overspread the State for thirty years! How wicked they must have been! But it is very strange that it required just thirty years for the Bed ford Inquirer to discover the "night" and "glooin" produced by the votes of Russell, Barndollar and Cline. THE legislature of Missouri, wanted to be a notch ahead of all loyal States, and passed what was thought to be the X Vth amendment on the receipt of a telegraphic dispatch. The opera tor forgot to send the whole of the amendment, and the whole thing falls to the ground. The legislature ad journed sine die, so the whole matter goes over till next year, when It is thought there may be something more to say about It, In the meantime let us have peace. THE "Republican" papers are just now very much afraid of what they style "copperhead howls about the XVth* Amendment." The guilty conscience would fain l>e quiet. Verily, "the wicked tlee when no man pursueth." jsrsaforti atettftirv* iteu SOME of the Soap Judgment organs say that tlio legislature could not sub mit the XVth Amendment to a vote of the people. This is not true. But if it were, the legislature could have post poned action upon it until next winter, which would have enabled the people to express their will in regard to it, in the election of Senators and Represen tatives. THE appointment of the ex-rebel LONHSTKF.KT, by Gen. Grant, to be Collector of one of the districts of Louisiana, has been confirmed by the "Republican" Senate. The office is worth $30,000 per annum. Now, let "Republican" blatherskites shut their mouths in regard to "restoring rebels to i>ower." W HOA ! TIX K LE-1X KI.

Rarely do we see Easter dawn so bright and warm as it did here. A natural consequence was that the churches, street cars and pavements were crowded. Every body was out, and saint and sinner observed Sunday fully in away peculiar to each. The evening drew on with a cloudy sky and Monday set in with the old fash ioned rain and storm. Good Friday was observed with sacramental services and appropriate ceremonies by the Catholic, Episcopal aad the Lutheran churches belonging to the General Council. As the Lenten Season has closed, places of amusement will take a fresh start. We are pleased to say that Good Friday was also respected by many business places closing, as all ought to do; and wo cherish the hope that the day is not distant when it will be made a legal holiday all over our country. Church festival seasons are certainly as important as the birth days of some of our statesmen. WHAX wiu, YOU DO WITH THEM? Politics must be thriving on your side up there: for the GAZETTE pre sents quite an army looking toward of fice. Now those names are all worthy and solid, but not more than one for each nffico win, on nomination (lay, be able to say, "A fine day gentlemen, splendid!" but the rest won't see it on that side by a good deal, and think it exceedingly disagreeable. We heard of a nominee once, who after an elec tioneering tour settled himself down by count on being elected just exactly. When the election was over he was five hundred votes short. On being interrogated as to his defeat, he said that he would have been elected, but he found out after the election that there were five hundred liars in the dis trict—^just exactly ! Now, the moral is pointed. If everybody is going to "do something" for every candidate, a very broad conclusion will be drawn after the nomination. Let every tub stand on its own legs. (That's the quotation, ain't it ?) At any rate, those who are not successful understand political philosophy sufficiently well to he able to say, "It's all right," even while they think it would have been quite as right il it had taken a slightly dif ferent turn. "According to my no tion," is every man's rule of right. Other people's take a different direc tion sometimes. BIRDS. Since our last we have seen an article on taking care of Birds which is in ac cordance with the views we then gave, and which we sheuld love to see entire in every paper. Whatever may be the faults of your correspondent in oth er respects, tie has a pleasing conscious ness, in his old days, of never having robbed a bird's nest of any kind, nor taken a single life of a bird for the apart of it. And now as the "time for the singing of birds lias come," a fresh in terest exercises our mind in their be half. This, we hope, will become gen eral, not alone on account of their inno cence and beauty, but also for their economic value. Especially should all those in agricultural communities turn their attention in this direction, and seek to put an end to the indis criminate destruction of these little creatures which are the very best friends the farmers have—except their wives. We cannot, therefore, forbear giving you a short extract, as the wri ter of the article speaks by the book. And if it be true of a single bird, what must be the aggregate estimate of the many thousand species? The robin is generally regarded as the pest of fruit growers, and he cer tainly does plunder to a large extent the smaller fruits, but it has been dem onstrated by a careful examination of the contents of his stomach that dur ing six or seven of the months in which be is in this region he is exclusively a benefactor. During the early spring months insects in different stages of de velopment form his sole toed. The larvie of two hundred insects of a most destructive class have been taken from the stomach of a single robin. It has been proved that a young robin will consume forty-one per cent, of animal food more than his own weight in twelve hours, and this food usually consists of earth worms, cut worms, and other destructive insects. "The measure worm" or "span worm," it is said has been driven from the Central Park by the English spar ruw, recently introduced there, a pair of which will destroy four thousand caterpillars weekly. Researches show that every species of bird lias its particular use fn the de struction of the injurious insects and vermin, which constitute the greater part of their food. Birds are in gener al far more useful than hurtful, mid the popular desirp should be to take career, instead of exterminating these beautiful little allies of the farmer and fruit grower. BRIF.F MENTION. Another mysterious murderoccurred last week. No clue whatever yet, al though the strictest investigation lias been instituted. The name of the mur dered man is Jos. W. Smith, single, and 22. Independence Ilall has been refitted and painted. The Germania is to go on a musical trip to Pittsburg. West Philadelphia has an elegant new market house. The spring trade is opening up, and hotels filling. Eggs went down—on Easter Sunday. White lace sacques are to be the rage. Large finger-rings are the vogue. Litt'e bon nets and big prices the style. Every thing is the fashion. Hoops are not. But sugar i sugar. Ever, LINDEN. A COMMUNITY WITHOUT LAW.— We gave some account a few days since, from a Petersburg, (Va.); paper, of a father (Mr. A. B. Bradshaw, of Luen berg) killing his son, a young man twenty-five years of age, by shooting him, as the son left the house, on ac count of some dispute at the breakfast table. It was added that no arrest had been made, as, on account of the recent removals under congressional law, there was no officer in the country au thorized to make an arrest. General Stoneman, the military commander, was telegraphed to in regard to the course to be pursued, or to appoint some one to act under the law. His reply was as follows: "RICHMOND, Va., March 2 5, 18G9. To P. M. Hatched : The people must act as they may think the circumstan ces demand." ' 'GKOHG E STOX KM A N, "Brevet Major General." Thus it is that reconstruction has brought tiie people of a portion of the Old Dominion clean hack to the state of nature. Now if Gen. Stoneman could only give the people of all Vir ginia the permission he has extended to those of Luenburg—to act towards all wrongdoers "as they may think the circumstances demand"—there would be about as refreshing an exhibition of retributive justice, untrammeled by legal technicalities and delays, as the world has ever seen. What a reflection is suggested by this order of General Stoneman ! In this nineteenth century, in the land which claims to be the mo-t civilized, in the State on which the seeds of civilization in the western world were first plant ed, and among a most law-respecting people, the legislation of Congress has stripped the people of the means of punishing the most horrible of crimes; and the amazed and confounded in habitants, not knowing what to do, ap peal to the military commander, who can only tell them, in substance, they must do that which is right in their own eyes—that which they would do if there never had been such a thing as law or human society ! Happily there is re' o "" to believe the peopl# of Vir ginia may be trusted to do the best that is possible under such circumstances, but no people ought to be subjected to such a trial.— Bait. Sun. A Man Hoteliers his Wife and Chil dren mid then llruuns Himself. A horrible murder was commited, in Philadelphia, on Tuesday of la-t week, under peculiar circumstances. Early in the morning a man threw himself into the Delaware river and was drowned. Subsequently a hand kerchief was found in the water bear ing the name of Blaekstone. In the af ternoon the body was recovered, and found to be that of Blaekstone, of the firm of Eunston & Blaekstone, picture frame makers at 912 Market street. The body was sent to his house in the extreme northwestern part of the city. On arriving there the par ties found another party of police in posession, and that Blackstone's wife and two small children were dead, chopped to pieces with an axe. It ap pears that previous to committing the murder, Blaekstone wrote a letter to his wife's father in Connecticut, say ing that he had killed his wife and children and would kill himself. The party in Connecticut telegraphed to the police authorities here who went to the house and found the dead bodies as before related, and were investiga ting the case when the dead body of the father was brought in. On Blackstone's body was found a pa per stating that lie had been robbed and was a ruined man, and giving this as a reason for the deed. llis wife appears to have been killed while lighting a fire in the stove, as the neigh bors heard a noise at that time. The children were killed in bed up stairs and carried down and laid at the feet of their mother. Itlaekstone was prob ably insane. NATURALIZATION.— The New York Sun, a republican journal, cordially confesses, in regard to naturalization frauds, that "in this respect one party is as bad as another," and that if more of this cheating wuodonoby tlio demo cracy in New York last fall than by the Grant men, it was "simply because the foreigners were more inclined to go for Seymour and Blair. Had they been for Grant and Colfax, the repub licans would have put them through the mill just as fast. When we say this we don't mean the honest republi cans: neither do we suppose the honest democrats had anything to do with the fraudulent naturalizations that were practiced so extensively in the interest of their party." This is the truth, fairly spoken. The remedy, in the opinion of the Sun, is to prevent the frauds by removing the occasion. Fix a shorter term for residence pre vious to naturalization. The general diffusion of newspapers enables the emigrant now to learn as much of our institutions and laws in one year as ho formerly could in live. lii Georgia there arc in process of erection seventy-two mills for the pro duction of cotton and woolen goods alone, and attention is turned in the direction of calicoes and printed fabrics. This is a surprising fact; but it is the natural consequence following on the events of the last five years. At Au gusta one factory has turned out the last year 6,410,000 yards of cloth, and has a capital of SM),(WH). Sixty-three vessels are now on the voyage from San Francisco to Great Britain, their cargoes aggregating one million seven hundred thousand sacks of wheat; eight vessels are en route for domestic porta with one hundred tnd sixty-six thousand sacks of wheat, and ten vessels for liio de Janeiro with fifty-one thousand barrels of Hour.— The value of California wheat and flour now afloat for China and other coun tries is four millions of dollars.
