The difiele imp at our elbow is flaking

that we don't kmiw anything. about.
The political ground has been gone over

threadbare: -The war ifl no longer a mat
ter of interest for two reasons; fast, be
an* it is all over, and second, because
the people —the' sovereigns—are hearti
ly siok, and tired of it. They have had
enough of blood, they are saddled with
gore. "The Nigger" is so diagatting a
subject flint nobody wants to hear any
thing more about him. Our people hero
in the North have had - "nigger on the
brain" so long, • that they are getting
tired-of him, and manifest a disposition
to be..!slet•tilone" on that subject, The
miscegenation and nigger suffrage pre
seriptionn of Thad. Stevens St Co., don't
seem to lie well on their stomachs,
,and
their frequent gaggings and gaspings
indicate that they Italie already taken too
much of that sort of medicine. The
symptom's are that they will; ere long,
"throw up'" the vile stuff entirely, and
thus relieve the body politic of the dead
ly poison that has so insidiously been
sapping at the life of the Nation. Well,
we sincerely hope that this ,excess of
treatment by the negro doctors, Sum
ner, Stevens R. Co.; will have the effect
of so completely, sickening our people
that . they will hereafter refuse to swal
low any Inore
trilheir abominable nos
trums. In tees the safety of the
country.
And, speaking of the country, what - a
devil of a time we have had for the last
four or five years We have astonished
everybody, not even excepting ourselves.
Itie have played "Hail Columbia" gen
erally; and kicked bp an immense dust.
Admit, too, that we couldn't see through;
which choked us and maddened us,
and blinded us to our own interests and
the welfare of mankind. Impulsively
and angrily we rushed out of a state of
profound and prosperous pence into a
vortex of anarchy and civil war, oblivi
ous of the fad that our best interests lay
in unity and fraternal regard. We mar
shalled' immense armies on both sides,
and went at the work of cutting throats
with . a gusto that shocked the moral and
religious , sense of the Christian world,
and wen for us a fame, beside which the
bloody' celebrity of the primitive savage
pales into,insignificance: For the time;
we forgot that we . were brothers, and
threw to the winds all the glorious asso
ciations of the past, ,The "bonnie blue
flag" and the "aide spangled banner"
were arrayed against eaoh other in dead
ly eonfliqt, and the strife of desperation
raged long and fearfully. On the part
of the South the war at length assumed
the attfttide ophonorable - defence, while
the Mirth fought for glory and the sub
jugation of her sister section.
And whitima all this, immense conflict
been about? An ideal a shadow The
notion on the part of the North that the
black race were intended by God to be
freemen, and that they were foully op:
pressed by the Solthern , Oaten" which
made them subservient to white mas
ters, was seised upon, by aspiring politi
cians, as the pretext for plunging the
country into civil war. "Where there
is a will there hi a way," and these men
soon, found an opportunity, to, provoke
the tiouth into ants which were looked
upon by the ,deminant party in 'the
North es ltostile
,the Governmedt ;
and, taking advantage of the inflamed
and unhealthy state of the public mind,
they pilled. hundreds of thousands of
soldiers into the field, and at once open

of things convinces us that we were not
mistaken. The chance that the' people
have been so long watching for, has at
length arrived, and wo feel encouraged
to hope for much good in the future..
That the people aro becoming nauseated
by the radical attemptd to impose upon
them the social and political equality of
the negro, is a joyful fact, in which we
think we see the final and complete re

us from the ruin which we ourselves
have made. Thitigs look bright and

—Hon. George Bancroft, the His
torian, delivered the eulogy on Presi
dent Linooln, in the House . of Repre
sentatives, at Washington, the other
day. An immense concourse of people
were present,including President John
son and the foreign ministers: We have
nob yet read the oration, and hence can
not speak of its chart/der. We pre
sume, however, that it is strongly tinc
tured with "abotiik." From some ex
tracts we have seen, we nevertheless also
presume that ho said seine things not
altogether palatable to tho radicals. 'lt
matters but little, however, N 5 hat he said.
The records of Abraham Lincoln's life"
arc fresh in the minds of everybody, and
the words of Mr. Bancroft will neither
whitewash nor blacken his character.
That he did some good thiiigs, it is fair
to prestune ; and that he did some very
bad things, everybody knows. ' 'knee
forth, we hope the dead President may
be allowed to rest peacefully:in his un
timely grave. With his death, all en
m:ty has ceased.
—A delegation of negroes, claiming
to represent the colored population of
the United States, called upon Presi
dent Johnson lately to express their
sentiments on the negro suffrage ques
tion and to ascertain tho views of the
PresiciAnt in relation to the utile sub
ject. The delegation was headed by
Fred. Douglass and another darkoy
named Downing, the latter acting as
principle spokesman, assisted occasion
ally by the former. The President re
ceived them kindly, and listened pa
tiently to wlinkthoy had to say, the sum
and substance of which was that, the
negroes pught to be 'gated- to social
and political equality with the white
race, and be` allowed to participate in
or the privileges which are the natural
birth right of tho white -man.
President Johnson very condescen
dingly considered all the sentiments
presented by the delegation, and replied
to them in kind' but positive terms,
giving them to understand that he was,
in noCase, favorable to negro suffrage,
Or to the equality of the tacos. While
he professed to be the friend of the ne
gro race in everything that was actually
necessary to the adiancomont of their
moral and physical condition,' he could
not commit himself to the _pernicious
doctrine of universal suffrage. Ho be
lieved that the will of the majority
should be respected; and until a majori
ty of the legal. votes of the,
should declare' themselves in favor of
giving the full rights of citizenship to
the black lona, be could give, no counte
nance to the measure. Cedtress .had
no power to settle this matter.• It must
be done by the people of the different
States, and it wasp i` ppt at all likely that it
ever would ho doneby them., Per con
sequence, the dem must do without
vote,.and he content that his condition
is no . worse than it is. ,
The , aboVo is about the Preoldent'a
position on the negro suffrage question,.
and from it the radicals.have but little
to hope. The triumph of heir pot doe;
trine, even in the District of Columbia,
is iudefigitoly.postpoued, • if not entirely
put "beyond" all possibility. The
firm 'posititiii which I:Ffieldent Johnson'
has taken on - this question; falls like a'
Wombshell into the abolithin camp, and
scatters .their well-arrinied sehenica

Tne Next Governor
In political circles, in4his city , and
throughout the State, the name. of the_Hon.
George W. Woodward had been frequently
Mentioned in connebtion with the approach
ing selection of a candidate for Governor.
His eminent'personal 'Worth, his patriotio
record and eouservativepoli Goal seu,timents,
have induced a widespread , desire among
his friends that he should be placed - in noml
natiOn again r when military power and offi
cial patronage cannot; .as in 1868 control
the election. This desire has been commu
nicated to Chief-Justici Woodward from
numerous and influential sources, but, in
replying; ho has uniformly declined to allow
his name to be brought before the nomina
ting convention; and ,this declination, we
are authorized to say, is absolute and' final.
The Stale Conuntion, which meets on the
Oh of blared) nett, at Harrisburg, will, we
doubt not, place before the people of Penn
sylvania a candidate In every way•worthy
•of their suffrages. .We trust the selection
will merit and receve the general applause
that greeted the nomination of Woodward
three years ago, which alike encouraged the'
friends and dismayed the opponents of the
Constitution and the Union.
How the general expectation was then
defeated, is well known. During the can
vass, the mismanagement that marked tbat
period of the war allowed Its ravages to
extend over a large portion of the State,
suspending political organization and dis
cussion, and spreading everywhere mistrust,
excitement, and alarm. This sToid..:(l both
the opportunity and the excuse to the men
in power, under the plea of qmilitarrneces
oily," to avert their own condemnation, by
allowing to the election scarce the semblance
of freedom er fairness. Under that plea,
every available engine of power or influence
—military and civil, social, pecuniary, and
eeolesiastical—was pressed into the politi
cal service to continue the rule of the party
in power. . But now, times are changed.
The act of Congress that took from incompe
tent politicians the direction of our armies,
to rest it in a Lieutenant General, ended
the blundering that protracted the war. It
is over now. It can no longer afford a
pretext _for invading the freedom of the
ballot-box. Piesident Johnseh has forbid
den the use of the Federal authority for
partisan purposes. The radicals have thrown
off their disguise ; and while etruggling
with all their might' and main, against a
restoration of the Union, they will not be
able to come masquerading to the next elec
tion as—the Union party I Every augury
of success invites the true friends of the
Union to a wise selection of candidates for
the next election. If they emulate the
discrimination exercised by our last eon,'vention that nominated a candidate for Gov
ernor,. they may rest assured that now
success is not only probable—it is certain.

Address of the Democratic State Central
Committee.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMIT: ICE ROOMS,
HARRIEDURG, Feb. 9, 1866.
To the Democracy of Peensyluania :
The events of the last•political canvass
are yet fresh in your minds.
You announced your unequivocal endorse
ment of the restoration polio) , of President
Johnson, and denounced the doctrine of ne
gro suffrage. _
Your opponents affirmedtheir support of
the President, and evaded the issue upop
the question of suffrage.
A powerful organization, large 'Anita
patronage and an unscrupulous use of mon
ey, secured, to themtthe victory.
The record of the 4. past month strips the
mask from the face of the victors.
They treat with derision the declared
-policy of the President. They Love` placed
the government of the Constitution in abey
ance, and its legislative and '..eseoutive
functions ar6 usurped by a cabal of men,
who, in obedience to caucus, govern the
nation through the forms of a directory.
The right of each State to-regulate the
qualifications of its electors is denied; the
will of the people of District of Colum
bia is overridden, and by an almost unard
mend vote. The Republican party in Con
gress and thVeState, Leirsiature accord to
the negro equal political rights with the
white man. "
The initial step toward a war of races
has been taken, and a consolidated govern—
ment looms up in the distance.
'TIM tenets of the President upon these
points aro our cardinal doctrine,. In sus—
taining him'we vindicate them.

the spots once hallowed as the seat of wis
dom, patriotism and law. •
The constitution of the country, which
the President is manfully struggling to
replace ' and which once was held as a sa
cred
palladium of liberty to which people
looked up with a reverence bordering on
devotion, is not only being treated with ,
.contempt by these infatuated ndvocates of
`anarchy and ruin, but is daily Using so mu
tilated as not to be recognizable by the
mod: careful student of passing events.
There was a time when an amendment to ,
the constitution was a subject itf universal
excitement, criticism and comment so care
ful wore the statesmen of other daytteif anytl
innovation upon our organic laws. Now
every rat tlebrained fanatic seeks to distin
guish his audacity ,by engrafting upon it
resolutions that ten years ago would scarce
ly have been applauded In Beecher's church
and which would have been ;ejected Its
impolitic at an Abolition primary meeting.
As if no constitution existed nt all,. and . 1
Congrees was espediallY employed to frame
one and the President endowed with pre-
roghtives subject only to the diotations of
an absolute assemblzge, they indolently de
mand of him the exercise of powers denied
him by his - oath of office and' traduce him
if he does not comply with their selfish or
party schemes. What a shameful, humilia
ting spectacle this should be to the Ameri
can people?
But this is not all. As if bent on dra
gooning the President into their violent
ideas and measures, they summon negro
committees to annoy him with insolent de
iiiindecf7i, Ihterferenue in matters beyond
his legitimate spherg; who after insulting
him with their gratulOtts advice as to what
his official policy should be, slink from his
moderate; just and unanswerable ;rebukes,
and fill the public press with replies to
propositions *doh at the timff they failed
to respond to, and set up a yell and howl of
dieappointment and rage because 'he will
not descend to be a tool of every peevish
