A though the proposed Fifteenth A
rne oiment can not legally become a
pa;: of the Constitution, so long a J
Its . ideation depends upon the enfor
ce! , ction of State legislatures, there
cr eno doubt t hat the piesent revolu
lul iury Congress will pr u'laiin itsa
do on and provideforitsenforcenient.
Vi _ .da, Mississippi, am! Texas were
hei ' >nt of the U li >n. until their leg
islatures gave their assent to the A
rnet.driienl, and their ratification was
com ced by the threats from Congrt s
thai unless they ratified they should
no- be admitted. Georgia, after hav
ing been admitted into the Union, was
( xj elled because she refused to ratify,
and her legislature is now being manip
ulated so as to secure ratification. We
apj cal to the candor arid good faith Of
the reader, if this Is a fair or law
ful ratification. It certainly is not.
It is a bold and shameless fraud;
a swindle practiced not only upon the
Democrats, but also upon Republi
can •. We are now to have Negro Suf
frc e. IF V are to have if without being
(ilh.iced (he privilege of voting upon the
proposition to establish it. The Repub
lican leaders have deliberately, inten
tin ally and fraudulently violated
their pledge to their own party follow
ers, that Negro Suffrage should not be
established in Pennsylvania without
firs 1 submitting the subject to a vote
of too people. If they had lived up
to tliis pledge, if the people bad been
pei mitted to vote on the Fifteenth A
mei uuieut, there could be no cour
plaiut from any quarter. But they de
ceived the public, they betrayed their
own follow < rs and all that remains to
to toe victims of their treaclu ry, is for
the while men of both parties to unite
together and rebuke their faithless
ness.
There is hardly a doubt that persons
of Alrican descent will vote in many
pat s of tiiis State at the next elec
tion. The Constitution of the State,
iiuv ver, limits the right of suffrage to
free white male citizens, of the age of
ttt'tntj one years and upwards. This is
in <• :tft coiiflict vilii the fraudulently
ad" ted Fifteenth Amendment. Un
til t clause in our State Const itu
tio .art jtcaled, it is the supreme Jaw
so f. r as Pennsylvania is concerned. —
'Tii. Fourteenth Article of the Federal
Constitution provides a remedy lor
thi- eoi diet. It declares that whenev
er a Stale shall deprive any of its citi
zens of the elective franchise, except fur
participation in rebellion or other
crime, its representation in Congress
slia l he curtailed in proportion to the
nu: ' ST of persons so disfranchised.
Th lefore, if Pennsylvania refuse to
strike tie word "while" from her con
stitution, her negroes will not be coun
ter! n the apportionment of represen
tatives in Congress. Hut she will not
10-< a single member if they are not
counted. They do not number votes
orio tgh in the whole State to entitle
th -mi to one representative in Con
> w, we doubt not, an issue will be
ni.t'.oon the point just stated. Shall
Pennsylvania strike the word "white"
out of her Constitution f If we really
intend to give the negroes the elective
franchise, that little hut potent word
must lie expunged. If they are to vote
by mere sufferance, and their right to
toe allot is to be controlled by regis
ter- and election officers, according to
thei ■ various views of State and Feder
al sovereignty, the State Constitution,
net ii not IK? altered. That this ques
tion will soon he pressed upon public
attention, there can be 110 dwubt. —
Whatever may be our individual o
pinl ois on the a! stract question of Ne
gro Suffrage (we know some negroes
who would certainly vote more inde
pendently and intelligently than cer
tain white radicals we wot of;) it le
--coni us, to unite in repudiation of tin
men who have deceived and betrayed

The esse of Seal and Find'ay in tie
State Senate, says the Pittsburg Past,
is somewhat, remarkable for several
reasons, and not the iea-t of which is
the allegation set up by Mr. Scull in
his petition, that there were certain ;
paupers voted for Mr. Findlay,there
fore ho ought tube ousted from his
seat, and Mr. Scull installed.
Whether certain paupers did or did
not vote for Mr. Fit (Hay we neither
know nor care. It is altogether pos-i- [
hie that a- many voted for Mr. Scull as j
for Mr. Find lay. We w ere not awan
before that to hp poor im| bo d a lack of
intelligence to such an • .vent as to de |
liar a man of the privilege of casting a |
ballot. Intelligence ought to go no in
considerable distance in determinit g
j; man's eligibility to vote or hold < f
fice. *
Taking this view of it, we suggest ■
that a competent phrenologist be sent
to Ilarrisburg to take a uiushand milk
east of Mr. Scull's skull with a view
to a critical phrenological examina
tion, to see whether he possesses the i
requisite bumps to act in the capacity
of a Senator of the Commonwealth.—
If he don't come up to the standard, j
let his aspirations be snuffed out.— j
We have known legislators, and even !
members of Congress, who were fa !
less intelligent than numbers of their
poor constituents.
Mr. Scull evidently thinks that men j
have no business to be poor, and If they j
are, so grave a penalty as disfranchise- |
ment should be inflicted upon them. —
lie: should bear in mind that riches of- j
teu iak3 unto themselves wings and \
I
fly away, and titut some time in the j
future, he may have the misfoitune to j
be placed in the same category so far
as money is concerned with the men
whom he wants disfranchised.
iu! look at it in another light. Mr. |
Sculi and the party to which he be- !
longs, insist upon conferring the right
of franchise upon every negro by the j
operation of the Fifteenth Am nd !
meat. But, says some one, the right
of suffrage may be r< strieted by prop- !
erty qualifications, &c. True, it may
be under the Fifteenth Amendment,'
as to white men, but not as to negroes. I
Their right to vote "shall no; be a*
bridged," under any circumstances.— !
Is it better to be a poor, but intelligent !
white man, or a Guinea negro? Would
Mr. Scull and hi- party have the kind
ness to explain?
DEMOCRATS w ill take supreme de- J
light in attending the elections next
fall to observe with what grace lb pun- j
lieans will vole alongside of Negroes, j
As Democrats have always predicted
that Negro Suffrage was near at hand,
and as Republicans have always denir d
it, the former will go to the polls like
men, feeling that they have btc u fully
sustained in their predictions; but
how will the latter approach the bal
lot-box? What sbatne and confusion j
of face, knowing that they have been
hood winked and betrayed by their
•
leaders, by whose false promises they
were led to deceive their friends and
neighbors.
AT last the "Filteeuth Amendment" i
is to bo represented in the United
S.atos Senate. A negro named Revels i
lias been elected to represent the State j
of Mississippi in that body for the
term expiring March 4th, 1871. The \
Radicals are playing a Utile shy of j
their "man and brother" and it is e- j
ven hinted that further legislation w iil
be necessary before the Senators and
Representatives of Mississippi w ill be j
permitted to take their seats in Con- j
gress. It will be remetntiered that the |
Radicals managed to keep out Me- I
nard, the Louisiana negro, last term, 5
by various pretexts, and it will be seen j
now whether they will serve Revels in j
the same way.
A FEARFUL state of affairs exis's a

supporters of Grant was their promise
I of rigid economy in the administra-

hardly play it again.

and let daylight into that inflated con

ter his con v< r-ion to Radicalism. Af
ter iii is episode, which creased sume
laughter ami more excitement. the
consideration of the bill was resumed.
Messrs. S. S. Cox and Morgan, on the
Democratic side, made vigorous pro
test s against the passage of a measure
which so unneccs-ariiy degraded the
Did Dominion. The Bingham Radi
cals expressed their abhorrence of the
bill also, tint proposed to vote li r it to
avoid keeping Virginia out inlhvcoid

a strict party vote—l-Mi to 07. In sub

that the State Constitution shall never

business of the House consisted in a
debate on the outrages of General
Terry in Georgia, the presentation of
petitions by Mr. Mitogen from 100
citizens of Worcester, Massachusetts,
praying for the repudiation of the pub

Senate debated Mr. Sherman's finance
bill, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Ilowe

of the Representatives were admitted
i:i the House after a debate over the
the admission of Porter, the Richmond
member. In the Senate the San
Francisco whisky trouble was indefi
nitely postponed by a vote of 20 to 15.
Tiie Senate continued the debate on
the finance bill, the leading speakers
being Messrs. llowe, Morton, Morrill,
and Sawyer, In the House of Repre
sentatives there was a sharp debate on
the admission of Charles Porter (Itadi
cat)as Representatives from Virginia, it
having la-en proved that he was disloyal
during the war, and had denounced the
saint'd Lincoln as a humbug. The
pemocrats made no opposition to the
admission, in order to establish a pre
cedent for the future. The Radical ex
rebel was therefore permitted to have
his seat by a vote of l.'M to 5. During
the Discussion Me—is. Cox and Wood
ward made an eloquent defence of the
Democratic party against the Radical
aspersion of disloyalty during the war.
The House took up the bill abolishing
the franking privilege, and passed it
by a vote of 174 to 14. It now goes to
the Senate where it probably will tie
killed. The House proceeding* wound
up with Dawes' rejoinder to B. F. But

interested audience. Mr. Dawes re
stated all his former points, and clinch

thoroughly convict the administration

again and refused to take back a word
of his denunciations. Today will be

X'olheseiureeuiedlcine&Dr J H. bchenck. of
Puiiadeiphia,owes his aunvalled success in the
trea tmeni ol pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup npeus tne morbid matter in the
longs, nature turows it ofl by an easy expectora
lion, tor wnen the pbiegui or matter is ripe, a
siigut cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and tue lungs begin to heal.
fo do tuis, tue oeaweed i'ouic and Mandrake
Puis must be treuly used to cleause the stomach
aud at er, so that tne Pulmonic isyru? and the
tood will rnuke good blood
aoheuck s Maudrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing ull oostructions, relax the ductf of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and .lie liver
is soou relieved ; tbe stools Hi show what the
Piliscaudo; uolbiughasevcrbiieu invented ex
ecs t calomel (a deadly poiseu which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock i he gall- bladder and starts the recretiong
ol the liver like Schenck t Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one ol the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
ooheuok s.Seaweed Tonic ig a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to m row out tne gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
iutogood olood wilhodttermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great re tson why physicians do not cure
consumption is,they try to do too much ; they
give oie ticiue to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
Stop night sweats, hectic fever, ind by so doing
tbey derituge the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secro'ions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr.Scbeuck, in his treatment,does not try to
stop a cough, uight sweats, chills or lever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord- No one can he cured ot Cousuuip
tion, Li ver Complaint. Dyspepsia . Cataarh, Can
ker, U Ice rated i'oroai, unless- the liver and stom
ach ire mate healthy.
i t' a person tias Consumption, of course t he I ungs
in some way are liseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, oronchialirritation. pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of iiitlaiumatiur and last de
caying fn such cases what must be done? It
is not only tue lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole body, luestomacb aud liver have lost
their power to make blood out o| food. Now the
uuly chance is to take Sehenck's three medicines,
which wi II bring up a toue to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it will digest easi
ly and in like go >d blood : then the patient begins
to gain in desh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungscommenoe to heal up,and the pa
tient gets tieshy anl well. This is the only way
to eureouneuuiption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint ind Dyspepsia, Sehenck's Seaweed
Tonic tnd .Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. s ;henck. who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasied away to a mere skeleton, in

4^Y El't'S CHERRY PECTORAL,
Fur Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping'
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything wonsowidely andsodeep
ly ipon the confidence of mankind, as this excel
lent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through
a long seriesof years, and among most of the races
of men it has risen higher and higher in their es
dotation, as it has become better known Its uni
form character and power to cure the various af
fections of vhe lungs and throat, have made it
known as a reliable protector against them.
While adapted to milder forms of disease XDd to
young children, it is at the same time the most
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
consumption, and the dangerous affections ot the
throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden
attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in ev
ery tamiiy, and indeed as all are sometime sub
ject to colds and eougns. all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases whire the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to s iund health by
the Cherry Pectoral, So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstiume of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, uuder the Cnerry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and public Speakers find great protec
tion Irom it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cur
ed by it.
Broncbitls. is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses
So generally are its virtues known that we neca
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
A V ER '8 AG r E CVR E,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chilt
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Peri
odical or Billion,i Fever, 4-r., and indeed alt
the affections which arise from, malarious,,
marsh, or miaima tic poisons.
As its name implies it docs Cure, and does net
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine. Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in no wise injures any pa
tient. The number and imj ortauce of its cures in
the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and wo believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies bad wholly failed
Unacclimatcd persons, either resident In, or
traveling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CUKE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arisiDg from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing mam truly re
markable cures, whereother medicines had filbd.
