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."

PUIL'A., 31areh 31, 18G!).
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 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.
