"REGONSTROCITION" AGAIN !- ITS
IMPORTANCE!
We gave our renders, last weesk, a !cm
ark role On "Reconstruction " We are
vol ell frirna "Itecov tartlet ion." We
think tt is n thing4t,i .,,, lt t:ty, that ought to
be done, but lb:0, , Lie, must be dot,
--a thing flint must re' done, so far as p

We hinted, lost week, that a new putting

construction" of an old marble one ! Ito-
eonetrnet ion supposes a reasonable eon
furtnity, in material, and form, lo the thing
of which it 99 I reeonetruet ion
We noted, moreover, that, with a elect
surprming immunity, the people of the
South are in favor of "reconstruction ,"
And that it is a minority of the whole peo
ple, token North and South, that are againat
a "reconstruction" of the Union, on its old
trbite stifTsoge basis, inoluding V troinia, the
Carolinas, licorgin, and the rest,now damn
ed as a Herten of military perfect ores
IV° intimated, moreover, that President
Johnson was not a merry-Androw, only be
cause he wne a very sad Andrew—and that
he was FIN seeing the lams executed, accord-
Ingle his oath Well, we think it best to
leave our last week's article to be digested
a little longer, before giving a new tattle's

.• reconsleuetion" that we jktvp a large option

as to whore to begin
For this number of our paper, we think,
pm hops, it will be enough to show how our
finances ought to be reconstructed." As
to restoring anything like our old happy
tones, under Democratic rule, with a huge
paper debt banging over the people, it is
out of the question
We must get rid of the debt, but don'

their lanocens!, ask if this Is not a "nem

it Is simply an old war of paying new
debts!
here are proofs:
e idow of au honorable olilsen of New
York Slate, her deceased humbeeda estate
having been sett. ed Up in 1859, found her
self in possession of about twenty thoueand
dollars. She wished to invent It safely,so a

IMPORTING NEGROES TO. GOVERN
PENNSYLVANIA
When the Rid nchninisirs.
lion commenced negro emancipation upon
the ridiculous plea of "military neliesnity,"
it was urged as an objection that Northern
States would soon he over run with negroes.
The Radical looters. organs nod preachers
decarred in reply thatefraSoutherti negroes
would forever remain in South—that
it was the I{uly climate fitted for ibeni,ko
No sooner was the Freedmen's Bureau es-
Almhed, however, than the tliipment of
negroes into the Northern Stales commenc
ed offices wero established in all the prin.
:ilia' Northern cities, and agents were sent
out in every direct ion therein., to virtue
places for the sorplun dark!. who rOllll.l
their sly into the Federal Capital. For
nearly two years past the Burt au has been
quietly driving this buisness The weekly
chil , went has perhaps averagfli two Mind
red—distributed 111 await lots to each of the
Northern States, and ench lot so divided
and placed that the people have never Ell,
petted the llll.vement During that period
not less than fifty thousand negroes have
been scattered over the Eastern and Miadle
Statee—generally ste hotel and house tier
rants The numberdistributed throughout
Westmn and Sortharstern Slates is largely
in excess of that number. Philadelphia
Pitleborg and Ihri burg have had hundreds
of Southern negroes added to their popula
tion, whilst there isnot a town or village in
the Stole that does not contain one or more
' strange dark ies
The new Itadical programno Ly which
negro eulirage in to be forced upon nll the
Border and Northern Slates Through an ac t ,
of the Rump ingress, next winter, requires
the presence of a large number of "colored
citizens," if the Radical party are to reap
any benefit (tom the measure ,The native
negro population of itself is not sufficient
111 any one of the Northern Slates to com
petiolate for the loss of white •otes which
the Radical party is continually sustaining
hence agrent influx from the South is ali•
solutely necessary to ensure Radical sup
remacy. New York, according to the cen
sus of 18G0, (and it,lian lost in negroes
sjoc
then,) can All ofil? 1000,1 black votes of
native growth ; Pennsylvania, about 11,
000, Ohio, about 7,600 • and Now Jersey
opout 6,000 These figures, provided every
vote ikeast for the Radical party, would
ii balance the losses. The necessity for
er importation. is therefore rendered
imperative, and we are assured the Bureau
is using every exertion to induce Southern
"colored citizens" to locate in the North,
assuring them that,.after one year's resi
dence, they will certainly be allowed to
vole, hold offices, ail on juries, and be in
vested with every other civil and politi
cal right and privilege poscased by the
white citizens of the Northern Staten.
The rdlotre Record, An influential or
gan of the Radical party of this Stale, late
ly stated that the Williamsport Colhintion,
which nominiated Ilenry W Williams for
the Supreme Court, did not declare ID favor
of en amendmentOkking the word "while'.
from the Stale Constitution because, the
Radicals of Cuogres had come to an under
standing to pass a bill nest winter to en
force negro suffrage upon all the Northern
States Not a single Radical leader or
organ has denied the statement of that
newspaper The platform erected for Judge
Williams hears internal evident of this ne
farious, underhanded scheme In not one

to the majority which elected him. The plat
form further pledges him to make the Su
premeCoart "a faithful' interpreter of the
liberal spirit of the ago, "(the ruling negro
mania,' and "an impartial and fearless ex
ponent of the equal rights of men." These
declarations and pledges to ntgroiem, in the
abacence of all obligations to suelain the
State Constitution, need no elutidation
They chow moat unmietakahly that Judge
Williams is a party to the base plot to de.
etroy our Stale Constitution and to sub
merge the white role of the State beneath
that of a horde of ignorant Southern blacks
who are sent into the State by the Negro

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
The radical lenders just now in (rookie
They hardly know how to meet the finan
cial question agitating the country —The
proposition to phi AT the entire debt with
greenbacks was nssailed as impratienble,
and denounced as indirect repudiation
But when they fi,nd the Democratic" and con
servative masses are in favor of abolishing
the Notional Banks, and thereby saving
twenty millions per annum, and substitu
ting greenbacks to the full extent of the
requirements of a circulating medium, and
by that means eventually absorbing the en
tire funded debt, they have no objection
to urge, but Ignore the fame, and attempt
o create party projudioomoffioleut to scours
