The Radical Candidates The Radical candidates for Auditor and Surveyor General, Dr D tvin STANTON and Captair. ROBERT B. HICATII, have, of course, been put into the field under the delusion that the people can be deceived again by the cry of soldier. 4.Tesrurr is a nephew of STANTON of in famous memory, and owes all his suc cess in the military line to the influ ence of his uncle who was then Secre tary of War. However, hie services consisted in acting as a sawbones, and not in facing the enemy with sword and musket upon the field of battle. In this capacity, lie was probably more useful than i lie would have been had he undertaken to carry a musket or lead a battalion amid the horrid din of conflict. The fact that Ire was a burgeon during a portion of the war, in the army, is, we believe, the only thing that is urged in his favor. In deed, lie is such an obscure personage, that nobody knows any thing about him, which, perhapa, is to ills (Vivant age. He is said to look like the late Secretary—a fact that will certainly militate agairlst him. The firepubhcarr assures us that Dr. STANTON is an old time abolitionist. That means, of course, that he is one of the kind that below in the absolute and perfect eiplEity of the negro with the white man, and of hie undoubted superiority in many respects. He believes in ne groee voting; in negroes holding office; in negroes sitting in the jury box; in negro Senators and Representatives; in negro judges and in negro intermar riage with the white race. An 'old-time abolitionist" is, in fact,about the mean set thing on top of ground, arid, if this man STANTON is one of these ; the best thing the people can do ie to et , er'clear of him. Let him remain in the obscuri ty to which he belongs, arid do not force him into a position in the light of which he would be unable to hide hie moral deformity. Of Mr. ROBILKT B. Beim', we are told that he was the Captain of a com pany of nigger troops and an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau. These are certainly uodoubted proofs that he is qualified for the important office of Surveyor General ter which he aspires. Any man who could comntadd a hun dred darkeys and receive it salary alter- tri) 1( Aro ,v 7 VOL. 16. wards for serving them with hard tack as a Freedmen's Bureau officer, surely manifests a high degree of administra tive talent and ought to be at once elected to a lucrative station. At least, this is the way our Radical friends ar gue the matter, and who ever knew them to be on the wrong side of a ques tion? But, after the election, Captain BZATU may dispose of the "h" at the end of his name, for we solemnly as sure him that the Democracy will then give him an opportunity to write him. self down "Beat." We have probably as much admiration for captains of nigger companies as any decent man can have, but with all this we can't bring ourselves to admit that this par. ticular captain •ought to be elected. Nor do we believe that the people can be induced to believe so, either. The fact is, they have had a little too much nigger, and now isant to try sows oth ercolor—white, for instance. So, our two Radical candidates must look to their own pot-complexioned associates for support. The Veto of the Law Library Bill For some years past there has been maintained, in the court house here, a Law Library for the benefit of the lawyeN of Bellefonte. This library has been kept up at the expense of the hard-working people, who, getting tired of the arrangement, solicited our mtwber at Harrisburg to pass a bill reling the act which created it. This he did, passing it through both Houses of the Legislature with but little opposition. The lawyers, alarm. ed at this, made haste to petition Gov ernor Gassy to veto it, saying the bill was not in accordance with the wishes of the people, and that our Representa tive had no authority to pass such an act. The Governor, anxious to oblige the lawyers, and not caring a picayune for the people, gave in Its veto ui ac cordance With the desires of the legal gentlemen, and hence the hill to re peal the Law Library Act has been detested.

The Presidential Election Both great political parties are bu sily engaged in maturing their plane of campaign for the great contest next year. On the one side is the party for the Constitution and civil rights; on the other side, those who favor a strong government regardless of consti tutional restraints. The maneuvering is now, on the one side, to strip the contest of all minor and sham issues, on the other to cloak their designs and to avoid a square tight. The overshadowing question to be decided by the election is constitution al government or imperialism. As between the two, put fairly before the American people, there is not a doubt as to the result. It is to be hoped that the candidate of each party will be a fit standard-bearer. The Radical party will doubtless re nominate Grant, for he is personally the best embodiment in their ranks of ignorance and force over intelligence and right; besides, if the Govern ment is to he chrystalized into the im perial form, he has the best claim to be the first Emperor. =I The Democratic party will have no difficulty in selecting a candidate who will fully represent them. Its ranks are full of statesmen of ability, compe tent to guide the nation hack to consti tutional legislation and the re-en thronement of the civil over the mili tary power of the Government. The Democratic leaders and masses arc wisely refraining from discussing the merits of any one for the exhalted po sition. They feel that the most im portant part of the contest is in pre paring for it, in stripping the false pre tenses from their foes, that the main question shall be brought fairly and openly before the people. The paramount object on_their side will be to elect a President who will conscientiously regard the Constitution, one who will not over-ride and over awe the Supreme Court; one who will not he the eager tool cable faction in suspending the sacred right of trial by jury, and sending his army and navy wherever freemen will not vote for his party. The election of a conservative statesman to the head of the Govern nient will be the first great step to wards a restoration of our liberties. After that point is gained all others will speedily follow. The South has been the greatest stir (erer by the harsh anti unconstitutional legislation of the Radical party, but it can still exercise patience and forbear ance, confident that when the people of the other sections become aroused to the danger of also being denied the rights, the dominant party will be quickly driven from power.--Kr.
