(Z" 114 , k- VOL. 16 Vallandigham . The sad death of lion. CLEMENT L. VALLANINGLIAM' t the particulars of which will be found in another col umn, has filled every heart with a great sob of sorrow? He was so good, so generous, so magnanimous, eo free, 'rank, cordial / and bold, that every man, no matter what his party prede fictions may he, feels that he has lost a friend and the country a great and rising statesman. All past differences are forgotten in the sorrow of the pres ent, and the "young man eloquent" goes down to his grave with the tears of millions to moisten hls way. Living, VALLANTHOLIAM had many enemies. Dead, he has nothing but friends. No man goes back now to think or speak of the days when lie braved the ire of the Federal Govern ment, by denouncing its usurpatioasi, in any but a kindly spirit. The pas sions of the hour have fled, and friend and be alike are eager to do justice to his memory. His friends avow their admiration of him—hie once en emies say that he was an earnest, hon est man, and they respect him. Thus he is even greater in death than in life, and his tomb is beautified and softened by the garlands of grief and femembrance that have been cast upon it by his fellow-countrymen of all parties. Had VALLANISIIIIIAM lived, lie would doubtless have exercised considerable influence upon the strangely-mixed politics of the day. Tie was an able man, comprehending the situation of affairs at present,and ready to meet and grapple with it just as it is. Where his "new departure" would have led him to or how lie would have manipu lated it to the advantage of the Demo cratic party, is not just now so clear ; but we have the assurance that his was a clear and most comprehensive mind, and that his integrity was above suspicion. Ile never would have be trayed his political friends, but, failing in, his own peculiar mode of bettering our condition, would have given in his adherenee, is lie always did, to any policy that would have secured the triumph of Democratic principles. But he has gone now. We weep when we say it, as the people ought to and do weep all over this land. For lie was their friend their friend arid advocate against tyranny, oppression and wrong. If he erred—and which of us does not err—it was for them, and because he was gealons in doing what he believed to be right. Like all other men, he has doubtless made mistakes, but the benefits lie has con ferred will make amends a thousand times over for all his trifling errors. No braver, better or purer man sleeps in the grave to-day, and may God give peace to his soul. Thus rest, VALLANDIGNAM I fia Jeff Davis F..jittens the Radicals. A great many northern and even some southern Radical newspapers are terribly ex ,,.;, - , 1 over some late speeches of ex President JZFVERSON tvis, of the Confederacy, as though that distinguished gentleman had no right to talk. As far as we know, Mr. DAVIS is a free man and has a perfect right to say what he pleasel. IVhat we Waal, just now, is a little plain talk,and it don't matter whether it come from a northern or southern source, so that the people get to hear or read it, Jim , DAVIS would be a craven hearted coward to wrap him self up in any excuse that would pre vent him front appearing before the people whet. they• , want, to see and hear him The truth in regard to the real condition of the country now, is more likely to tall from his lips than from tho' , of any other living mati A and it's the truth the people want, both North and South. They have had falsehood and deception enough—let them have a copious draught from the fountain of truth, bitter and nauseous though it be. As for the assertion that Mr. DAVIS said he would "not accept the situa , Lion" and advised the southern people not to accept it, that is only another Radical lie. Of oouree he don't ac cept the situation as right and without hope -of ever bettering It,•' and we would like to know what white man does accept it in that light 7 We don't., for one, and we don't know anybody.

On the contrary, he just advised thou to wait until an opportunity occurred to do it peaceably and with that great est of all weapons, the ballot. But our Radical opponents are afraid of their own shadows, and no wonder they tremble at the voice of ,lErr Dxvis. ) "The wicked flee when no man purifueth," arid hence the con sternation in the Radical camp, al. though the ex-Provident quietly pur sues the even tenor of his way, only making his little speeches to his own admiring friends. With the whole !nighty power of the Government their own hands, with the army at their own disposal, with (Weir heels on the necks of the Southern people and an autocrat in the chair at Wash ington, the Radicals are nevertheless afraid of the voice of [hie one ran. This can only be accounted for by the fact that "conscience makes cowards of them all." We trust Mr. Davis will continue to talk when , wer he is asked. Ile has an undoubted right to, and`ll3 infinitel y better able to talk correctly than any man in the Radical party. We are hot apprehensive that any evil result will follow his counsels. On the contrary. we look for much good to flow from them. JEFTULSON DAVIS iS a patriot, a scholar and a statesman. If lie may not talk to the people, who may ? Is he Democratic Party Cemmi:ted to Negro Suffrage ? We unhesitatingly anevrer— Nol We assert, and defy contradiction, that there are not one hundred Demo crats in the three hundred thousand within the ktorders of the Common 'wealth, in f a or of conferring the elec tion franchise upon the negro. There has never been an expression on the part of the Democracy of the State that can be construed or even tortured into meaning any such thing. The distinct and explicit language of a score of conventions, backed by the unanimous sentiment of the masses of the party everywhere, puts to scorn the implication that the Democracy desire the negro as an ally. For the last thirty years the mn emphatic expression has oht-;r• against recognising, in any of its phases, the monstrous and alumni theories of the propagandiste of the social and political equality of the African and Mongolian races. For five years during the heat arid bad blood engendered by the war upon the South, the ,Democracy steadily, truthfully and consistently opposed the prosecution of the war for the pur pose of raising the negro to a forced equality with white men. Having survived that ordeal,strortger and more vigorous afterwaide than be• fore; having seen the correctness of its principles established and fully demon strated by the msrch of events ; Resin s thousands of those enlisted under its banner who in the past had opposed it, fully convinced that they were wrong and it was right, there can now arise no posaiblecontingency by which it will stultify its record and recreant ly abandon all it has fought for in the past. The Democratic 'party, then, does not desire the negro vote. It deairee and will accept no polit ical aid from the negro. It says to him—gland! or!' The Democratic party ever has been and by the grace of God will continue to be— 'The white man's Party.' Bowen and Bigamy One Radical rascal seems to have been at lent overtaken by justice, We allude to sx-Congresetnan Borax, the man with more wives than the law al lows him. This pretentious bleamist has been sentsuced to pay • heavy fine and to ekeliet a long term of impris onment in , the penitentiary. So far, so good. He has met with his just de serts, and cannot expect the public to pity him. With this example before their eyee, the people moot much longer doubt the character of toomany of their Rad ical representatives. When bigamists I -}r . - s • _1 k i i t itt tti ~ , Q like BUWEN, thieves like the two BUTLERS, niggers like ItAlßEs,and gen eral rascals like the greater proportion of the Radical lot, make up the con trolling power of the United 'States Congress, it would be almost a wonder even if a blind man should not see it. Thus, the Democracy have been vindi cated, and their protests against the election and retention in office of such men justified. This man, BONES, 'wore the livery of heaven to serve the devil in,' and flaunted his wretched hypocrisy in the very faces of chris• tows and moralists. Yet they didn't or couldn't see the leprous spot until it was laid hare by men who were not afraid to speak and show up the hide ous ulcer on lu 4 rotting and decaying character. Ile was a member of Con gress, and a Radical one at that. This was sufficient to cover a multitude of sins. Ilad lie been at Democrat, it would have been another thing. All Radicalism would have raised their pious hands in horror and 'M. C.' to los name would not have saved to bon his seat a moment. But justice has overtaken the man at last, and he will now have a chance to repent at his leisure, unless, indeed, Radical tenderness should bleed at his senteoe and Radical clemency inter fere - iii'save him from punishment. This, we should not be surprised to see, as the tavorites of that party do not often suffer for their misdeeds. Nevertheless, his trial and sentence have proved to the people what man ner of Wall lie is and have shown that lie is only one single representative of the claps of men who now hold the destinies of the country in their hands. If this knowledge should do the people any good, or teach them, hereafter, to exercise judgment and discretion in the selection of their representatives, why then the arrest and trial and expo sure of Bows,/ will not have been alto gether lost. friends of the Ilarrishimg Patriot, who are generally right, still keep telling of the great good that is to come to the Democratic party from the adoption of that meaningless ninth resolution in the Democratic plat forM. We have heretofore given the editors of the Patriot credit for " knowing a thing or two," but, since their continu one assertions ?atom the great benefits that are to be derived from the rassage of that resolution, we •have come to the conclusion that they know as little about the real feelings of the Demo cratic masses as it is possible for men in their situation to know. If they will submit their ninth resolution to decition of the Democratic voters of the State, out of the three hundred thousand,not the thousand can be got to vote for it; and the sooner they open their eyes to the fact that their efforts to crowd it down our throats as a "good thing," en "excellent move," is dnly creating more dissatisfaction and disguy, the better it will be for the cause fur which we all labor. The Patric/ iiad better place this matter nutorig its 'deaf issues.'

COOPER, the Democratic candidate for Surveyor General, from the New Castle Gazette and Dernocratone of the best and ablest journsle in the State edited by W, S. 111,sca, Esq. It is one of the fullest and most complete that has yet appear ed. The Captain has a high reputation in army circles and is one of the most devoted and conscientious Democrats in the country. The Gazette and Demo. erat says : 'Captain James Itlrvey Cooper was horn in Ross township, Allegheny county, Pa., March 6th 1840. fie lost his parents when quote young, and re moved to Lnwrence county in 1853. He attended the common schools until ho receiveil as good an education as could be obtained by such means. lie then engaged in - mercantile pursuits with his brother in Mount Jockson. At the breaking out of the reliellion,he unhesitatingly made tip his mind to en list, his love of country overcoming the persuasions of his friends and hut pros. lects1 ects in business. He was elected order. -sergeant of the Mount Jackson Guards,whicli afterward became known as Battery B, of the first Pennsylvania Artillery, but more frequently taking his own name—Cooper's Battery. To write of what he did during hie term of enlistment, wotild only be to re-write the history of that gallant orga roza -11011 of men. He wax a active participant in the battles of Drainsville, Mechanicts ille, God ns'Mi 11, New Mark et X Roads, Malvern Hills,Gainesville,Second Bull Run, Ch anti Ily,South Mountain,Antie tam, Fredericksburg first, and Fred ericksiniarg second,Chancellorsvire,Get• tysburg, Mine Run, Rapidan River, Wilderness, Laurel Hill,Spottsyl Yania Court House. North Anna River, and in frunt of Petersburg from the middle of June, 1864, until the Bth of August, when after having served for over three months more than the time for which he enlisted,he was honorably discharg ed. Before learning, all the officers of the regiment serving with the army of the Potomac, signed a petition to the Governor for his appointment as Colo nel of the regiment. It received %ere strong endorsements from General Wainwright, Commander of the Artil lery Brigade, Gen. Hurl, Chief of Aril lery of the Potomac, and Gen Mead. 'This petition he never presented. Goy. Conlin afterwards in conversa tion with a mutual friend, regretted that Captain Cooper hoe not presented it, an lie said it would have been a pleasure to him to promote so gallant au officer. The Governor commission: ed him Major without any solicitation. We feel sale in asserting that no man in the army was more esteemed by his brother officers, for those noble and manly qualities which make the true gentleman, than was Captain Cooper his reputation as a soldier was with out a blot. Ile was the special favorite of that other gallant sorldier, Gen. John F. Reynolds. Words can scarce ly convey to the reader the high esti matron in which he was held by all those with wlioni he came in contact. At the first battle of Fredricksburg, when Battery B. stood immovaole—the only opposition on the left of the line to the enemy's marching to the river in the rear of our army—Gen. Reynolds said, 'Captai 'Cooper is one of the brav est and coolest men under fire I ever saw.' His name is known all over the State. As to integrity of character, he is known sufficiently well to our readers generally, to make it unneces sary for us to say more than that hie straightforward. open,frank disposition is only equalled by his modesty and MT• assuming yet easy manners. His kind. ly beanung eye is the index to a noble, benevolent heart, and the casual ac quaintance is won to fast friendship. Ilia business qualifications are of high order, and the ofilceoftiurveyor-Gener al could be placed in no better bands. He is also a self-made man, Ent a rep resentative of the laboring men of the country, having for the past four years worked day after day in a saw-mill, where, with coat oIT, he has labored to regain his business fortunes, unfortuna tly butcompletsly sacrificed while bat tling for his country. in this too he shows the true spirit of the gentleman, adverse circumstances being powerless and in vain to discourage and defeat him in blindness life. For all these and many other reasons, hundreds of voters througout the State, without respect to patty, will cast i heir ballots for Captain Cooper, The Democracy, in placing our favorite on the ticket, expect a good report or Law rence county at the nest election, and we are assured she will do her duty. Let ue all go to work now, and take a !waive pride in oas who eo nobly sus tained the reputation of our calvary in the 'time that tried men's souls.' General McCandless, the candidate for Auditor-General, is a favorite in Philadelphia and the eastern part of the Stele, sad tomealter;bLuestileee and Cooper make one of the strongest and best tickets the Democracy has ever seLsoted.
