The Radical Meeting on Wednesday
Night.
The Radical meeting at the Court
House, on Wednesdry evening, Nlll4
hell istendeil, lots of democrats being
present, attracted by curiosity to hear
Itucuaa Swoca, the renowned Clean
field county blowhard.
A. B. II L'IVU NSON occupied the
chair, previous to taking which, lie
"spoke a piece" in his peculiar eti le,
illustrating it with an unknown quan
tity of those frightful grimaces which
have made his collate f 11111CQ the curios
ity and wonder cf R ublic nn.ii-aces ever
since his advent to the tsohucnl rue
truni. His speech was made up of his
usual stock in trade, "copperhead,"
"traitor," "orphan children," a in nier
able and must unfortunate attempt to
justify the enormous expenses of
( - laxity's administration, sonic spread
eagle stuff alimit Gassy, and, lastly,
an open and hold admission that the
Radical party were "devoted to negro
suffrage," and that we would linie it
in Pernimylyania "before six months."
Swore then got up aunt such a lin
rangue wits probably never heard lietore
in the Centre comity court house
There is one thing that Seuii.it posses
ses, and it is all lie does possess—the
grace of oratory. Ile is a line speaker
--a duelling, brilliant sa)er of itisiguiti
cant nothings, but is utterly devoid of
logic and is so poorly booked up in
political matters as to lay himself open
to refutation by the merest tyro He
attempted to reply to Mr. CUTTaIi. L and
Mr. W•l4.xcr., but the universal verdict
was, that, while he got oft' some funny
things and made the people laugh, he
failed to upset a single position of either
of those gentlemen. Especially was lie
in the woods when he undertook to
overthrow Mr. WA LLACE•II figures.
'flits part of his speech was a most de.
cided failure, arid no -persons felt it
more forcibly or are more willing to
ilickowledge it than the members (Whig
own party; He sailed around and
hovered over Mr. WALLACE'S position,
but, like the hawk that was riot alto
gether certain whether his anticipated
prey was a lamb or a lion, he was
afraid to pounce upon it. 130 lie sailed
and sailed and chattered and gnashed
hie teeth, but finally drifted-away from
that subject,- and took up negro suf
frage, whichiiilie lititchinson, he swore
"rig come, saint come, shall come I"
And in case negro suffrage was denied
by the people, he said "another rebid
lion would occur treater than the
,one which has but recently closed."
And this was about . the substance of
his speech. With the exception of some
anecdotes,a deal of 'hifalutin,' is which
we sometimes found him "out on the
ocean sailing" and again "up in the
ether blue," and some lowdown abuse,
wherein he lingered on the confines of
helband in which Saroczerught to have
more sense than to indulge, considering
the disgraceful antecedents of his past
fife, it was all he said. But his nature
is i naturally coarse, and it is only by
gtiarding himself most carefully that
he is able to conceal from the public
eye the innate depravity of his mind.
Of this man, to the public
"We could a tale unfold

"The Most Unkindest Cut of All."
If we were the Radical candidate for
Sheriff of t his 'count% , ne don't know
that we slo old feel ourself particularly
under obligations to that parr. Tu
nominate a 111211 10 office, and then at
tempt to trade hum for the benefit
a some other candidate On the smile
ticket, isn't, in our estimation, exactly
on the square. Rut this little game is
HOW being played on Jcillt lit ITS, b%
the friends of Mr 13 \IIR, the Itailical
candidate for Prothonotary, and b)
Mr BUM himself, as we understand.
Frequent propositions hate been made
to ffetnocntts by Riuheals to tote for
WOODRI so and Olttstoll.l. If they (the
Democrats) would only vote for fit as.
This is making a bridge of Mr BI ITS*
nose for the purpose or enabling Mr.
14•Ril to crews the stream in safety /it'd
land high and dry on the prothonotary
office shore. The Radicals of this
county have no hope of electing their
whole ticket, but they imagine that by
playing what they call a "sharp game,"
they can work 'Mr. lL cc into the court
house. 'fo do this, it is necessar% do
sacrifice somebody, and Mr Ili art,
their candidate for Sheriff, has been se
lected for the holocaust. lilt die flung
is beginning to leak out, and, as Mr.
Burrs hue his friends also, the matter
is stirring up a very loud stink in the
Radical ranks.
Now, as far an we are concerned, ti e
don't care a sixpence what arrange
ment our OppUnelltS make in regard to
their political affairs, nor who the}
sacrifice. But we just wish to caution
our Democratic friends once more
against being caught in any such de
ceptive and plainly to be discerned
trap. Don't trade! yore, fora 4,1 , 1•4
Twit ET, and vote no °Met. We hat e
no need to trade ui order to get %iises
for WOODILING or ORKNOBLE—they will
get enough without that, and by no do
ing, we would be risking the ruccess or
our other candidates. Besides, it
not ptinciple, and the Democracy have
always claimed devotion to ineasure4
not men. Vote, then, the whole Dein
ocratic ticket., and let the Radicals
light out their own squabbles!
----If the radicals of this county'
welted to give BARR, their candidate
for Prothonatory, who was unlucky
enough to loose an arm, somewhere
down Booth, an office, why didn't they
give him the Bellefonte Post office,
which they gave to Jourt T. Jonstrion,
a stay-at-home °yenta, or• ooe of
the assistant &meow-ships, of collec
torships, or one of the other positions,
that they could have given him, in the
county, but which were bestowed on
men who stayed at home to howl
"copperhead" at,the white men of the
county because they wouldn't worship
&mho or support is war for the de
sitritcti.m of our government and the
degradation of our rime.
Why RoseoransDepflned
The Radical exultation over the de
clination of Gen. ROSLCRANS to be the
Democratic candidat: for Governor of
Ohio, has been loud and long. The
papers of that party have attributed his
declination to his disinclination to run
on the "copperhead" ticket, but the
New York Herald knocks the talk out
of them all, and shows what causes the
" milk in the cocoa put " by publishing
the following little article:
ROStellol,l' LITTLZ 311.—W0 have t‘,l go to a
Western paper to irorn that General Roserrans
little game In declining the nomination for
Governor of Ohio was founded upon an inten
tion to proceed tn. New York, and, If possible,
from n grand company for the purpose of con
structing a railroad from the city of Melleb to
Acapulco, on the Parifle roast. thitt Is A auk!,

OUR STATE FINANCES.

Years io J Have Paid off Neerly
Twenty-Eight Millions of the State
Debt I
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
MONEY?
The history of the State Debt of
Pennsylvania, ,says the Itsr . risburg
Patriot, may be told in a few words.
it was created principally in building
up and keeping up the public works.
These works were eventually sold in
order that the debt might be reduced.
In 1858, a democratic legislature, in
accordanCe with Section 4 of Article
XI pf the State constitution, enacted a
law providing finr the creation of a
Sinking Fund. This Sinking Ftmil
wax to be a receptacle of certain reve
nues which were to be applied only to
the payment of the interest on State
loans and the extinguishment of the
State Debt. The act erecting it (see
Pardon's Digest,. page 914) provides as
follows:
" For the purpose of paying tho pres
ent Indebtedness and Our interest there
on, and such further indebtedness as may
hereafter be contrwa ted on the part of

nues and incomes are hereby specifically

A Negro Who Could Vote Intelligent
ly.
At an educational convention hold
recently, in Louisville, Kentucky, P.
H. CLARKI, a negro with an education
above the common run, and a degree
of common sense that does him infinite
credit, made an address, in which he
boldly maintained that "this a white
tuan's government." lie said :
I trust that I shall shock nobody's preju
dices, alarm no person's fears for iny sanity,
when I, a colored man, and a life-long agitator
for colored men's rights, declare, as I now do,
that this is a white man's country. In all its
wide:spread grandeur of mountain, valley and
plain, of river, lake and ocean; of densely
crowed city and uninbahlted wild, from sterile
frozen Macke to the warm shores of the Gulf,
this country belongs to the white man, to him
and his heirs forever. It wan a white man's
ship burst through tho gloom which had
shrouded thiscontinent from the eyes of the
M
Old World forgo many centuries, and it was a
white man who leaped first upon the shore,
claiming the nett land ter himself and his
brethren. White men have conquered this
continent. its teeming fields, its !ninon, its
wealth-pralueing industrien, its thousand cit
ies belong to them. This in a white man's
civilization We gain enlightenment from a
endure, which in all its varied departments—
philosophy. theology, physics, mathematics
poetry and the &ems—white men have been

of States, our guargnteen of free thought and
free speech, our method of enneting laws by
men selected by the people—all these are his
peculiar modem, and are the crystalised results
of his politlosl experience. In numbers, in
intelligent energy, the white man stendsat the

That darkey could vote with a prop
er understanding of the franchise. lie
is a man of sense, and if there were a
few more like him. they could do an
immense deal of good among the igno
rant and benighted of their own color.
The above honest utterances of an in•
telligent negro ought to put to shame
those infamous Radical teachers who
are endeavoring to instruct the black
race in the doctrine of political and
social equality with the whites. As
he truly says, this is indeed the white
man's country, and white men are
bound to control its (4..6,6,5. The

When Judge Packer was in Congre. , ,
bill was introduced to reduce the duty
on : Iron, and repay that which had been
paid by importers. The Judge's
then an extensive rally', ad man, and had
taken a heavy contract to supply rah,
amounting to several millions of dollars.
The repeal of the duty would have add
ed enormously to his profit, and every
motive Of self interest, added to the ar
guments of his friends, would have ln
duced him to favor the bill. Ile felt it
to be his duty, however, to vote against
it, and the bill was defeated.
When his vote had been recorded he
turned to ono of his colleagues, and said •
" The success of this bill would put half
a million dollars into my pooket
"Why didn't you vote for it, then
was asked. "Bemuse I cannot conot
ently with my principles. I know fteft
W ill
Pennsylvania needs a thrift', and I
not vote to cripple my tftate."
