The history of the measures of the Cop perhead party for the last ten years is slim med up in that euphonious little word of five letters— NEGßO. It will not require an elaborate essay on our part to sustain this position. We might it is true, ante-date at least twenty years, but the last ten are suffi cient for our purpose. The generation that preceded us was almost entirely in the interest of human bondage, and apparently only lived to rivet the chains of that bondage. No efforts were spared to make the free white ican be lieve that the Negro was his greatest social antagonist. All the vices and deficiencies of the Negro were portrayed and arrayed to his disadvantage, until the vast m ljority of the illiterate and ignorant of the land ac corded him only the rights and privileges of the brute. It was to tlae interest of the slave-breeder and slave-driver that this should be the prevailing public sentiment, and ten thousand different interests in op position to freedom seconded this spirit of evil. All this had a tendency to create an overwhelming prejudice against the poor, weak, ignorant and helpless black man. And let it be said to the everlasting shame and eternal infamy of a party that strives to rule this God-given land of Freedom, that for the lest ten years it has from day to day, from week to week, and from month to month appealed to no other prejudice than this bell-born spirit of opposition to him, who, by the foulest inhumanity that ever cursed this green Earth, was condemned to to serve as a bondman, and for no other reason than in confi nuitv to God's law, the inhabitants of the torrid regions of the globe, do not have the same peculiar fea tures. color and intelligence that our fail skinned Caucasians have. The people, from the oldest down to the youngest, have infused tihis prejudice against the bondmen until the great majority of them are Negro haters, we cannot denom inate them anything else. Not that the kind, generous, and hospitable Negro has ever molested them in the least; oh no, but •imply because he has a dark skin ; fot which he is no more responsible than those who hate him. He manifests every char acteristic of humanity prominent with the white race, he worships the same God, ex pectß to go to the same Heaven, and it i.- generaliy conceded that he will, yet in this world he is shunned and cursed by those, who in the next might find it advantugeoui to take a Negro's quarters. This prejudice, the great Copperhead par ty, has cultivated with most assiduous care. It has been their constant concern, their entire stock-in-trade. Rick up a Copper head newspaper, of any date since 1856, ruu your eye over its columns, and our word for it, the most striking headings, will stand out in bold relief, emblazoning to the mas ses the fact that the Negro is at the bottom of something. "The Negro and Abolition ism 1" were standing heads for many years, now it is "The Negro and Universal Suf frage !" The opposition have so long worked upon the prejudices of the ignorant that they cannot refrain from appealing in this man ner. It has become a second nature to them. At the outset of a campaign the first matter to be determined is what use they can make of the Negro, or in other words the prejudice against him. They know that the Negro is harmless and that no one desires to give him more than the rights of a citizen, yet the moment they wish to carry a point, storm a redoubt, if you please, they set up a furious shout against the black man as if he were the hosts of Sennacherib. If they desire to carry a township election, a clerk, or an auditor, and that, too, in a district which has not a Negro within ten miles of it, they set up this Negro straw man and pummel away at him until they fill the eyes of the ignorant with a sufficient amount of dust to enable them to affect their purpose. From Gov ernor down to auditor the tactics are the same, Negro! Negro this, and Negro that! \Y hen, we ask, will those Copperhead demagogues learn that the people cannnot longer be deceived by their hypocrisy ? For the last four years defeat has Btared them in the face and overwhelmed them at every point, nevertheless they hold on to the same old tactics with a fondness that would be commendable were it for the ad vancement of a sacred cause, But we are happy to say intelligence is rapidly dispel ling the dark mLts and the advocates of in farny will learn to their discomfiture, that the prejudice will soon have disappeared and that the last hobby upon which they have for so long based their ail will have de parted. CONNECTICUT SENATORSQIP.— Gen. Orris S. Ferry, radical Republican, was on Wed nesday last elected U. S. Senator ior six years by the popular branch of the Connec ticut Legislature. The vote stood: 0. S. Ferry, Rep., 132 ; R. D. Hubbard, Dem., 93; L S. Foster, present incumbent, 7; Thos. H. Seymour, Dem., 1. The election in the Senate has been postpone i for one week, and the Democrats are Keeking to induce three or four Republicans to unite with them in voting for Mr. Foster, with what result we shall see. City Election in Williamsport-Grand Union Victory, WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 17. The charter election held here yesterday resulted in the election of Major James Woods, the Union candidate for Mayor, by a majority of about owe hundred and fifty— a Union gain of nearly three hundred. The Republicans also elected eighteen out of the twenty-four members of the City Council. Heretofore the Copperheads had a majority of the officers and entire control of the af fairs of the town.

To the Senate of the United States: _ | I return to the Senate, in which House it originated, the bill which has passed both Houses of Congress, entitled "An Act for t';e admission of the State of Colorado into the Union," with my objections to its be coming a law at this time. First. From the best information which I have been able to obtain, I do not consider the establishment of a State Government at present necessary for the welfare of the peo ple in Colorado. Under the existing territo rial government all the rights, privileges and interests of the citizens are protected and secured. The qualified voters choose their own legislators and their own local officers, and are represented in Congress by a dele gate of their own selection. They make and execute their own municipal laws, subject only to revision by Congress—an authority not likely to be exercised unless in extreme or extraordinary cases. The population is small, some estimating it so low as twenty five thousand, while advocates of the bill reckon the number at from thirty-five thou sand to forty thousand souls. The people are principally recent settlers, many of whom are understood to be ready for removal to other mining districts, beyond the limits of the Territory, if circumstances shall render them more inviting. Such a population cannot but find relief from exces sive taxation. If the Territorial system, which devolves the expenses of the Execu tive, Legislative, and Judicial Departments upon the United State*, is for the present continued, they cannot but find the security of person and property increased by their reliance upon the National Executive power for the maintenance of law and order, against the disturbances necessarily incident to all newly organized communities. Second. It is not satisfactorily established that a majority of the citizens of Colorado desire, or are prepared for an exchange of a Territorial for a State Government. In Sep tember, 1864, under the authority of Con gress. an election was lawfully appointed and held for the purpose of ascertaing the views of the people upon this particular question; 6,192 votes were cast, and of this number a majority of 3,152 was given against the pro posed change. In September, 1865, without any legal authority, the question was again presented to the people of the Territory, with a view of obtaining a reconsideration of the result of the election held in compli ance with the act of Congress, approved March 21, 1864. At this second election, 5,905 votes were polled, and a majority of 155 was given in favor of a State organiza tion. It does not seem to be entirely safe io receive this last mentioned result, so ir regularly obtained, as sufficient to overweigh the one which had been legally obtained in the first election. Regularity and conformity to law are essential to the preservation of order and a stable government, and should, •is far as practicable, always be observed in the formation ef new States. Third. The adtuis-ion of Colorado at this time as a State into the Federal Union ap pears to me to be incompatible with the public interests of the country; and while it is desirable that Territories, when suffi ciently matured, shoald be organized as States, yet the spirit of the Constitution -eetns to require that there should be an approximation towards equality among the everal States comprising the Union. No State can have less nor more than two Senators in Congress. The largest State has a population of four millions, several of the States have a population exceeding two millions, and many others have a population exceeding one million. It this bill should become a law, the peo ple of Colorado, thirty thousand in number, would have in the House of Representatives one member, while New York, with a popu lation of four uiill!on„ h-ta hut thirty -one. Colorado would have in the Electoral Col lege three votes, while New York has only ihirty-three. Colorado would have in the Senate two votes, while New York has no more. Inequalities of this character have already occurred, but it is believed that none have happened where the inequality was so gTeat. When such inequality has been allowed, Congress is supposed to have permitted it on the ground of some high public necessity, and under circumstances which promised that it would rapidly disappear through the growth and development of the newly ad mitted State. Thus, in regard to the several States in what was formerly called the "Northwest Territorj'," lying west of the Mississippi, their rapid advancement in population rendered it certain that States admitted with only one or two representa tives in Congress would in a very short pe riod be entitled to a great increase of repre sentation. So, when California was admit ted on the ground of commercial and polit ical exigencies, it was well foreseen that that State was destined rapidly to become a great, prosperous and important mining commer cial community. In the case of Colorado I am not aware that any national exigency, either of a political or commercial nature, requires a departure f>om the law of equali ty which has been so generally adhered to in our history. If information suhmitted in connection with this hill is reliable. Colorado, instead of increasing, has declined in population. \t an election for members of a Territorial Leei-lature, held in 1861, 10,580 votes were east. At the election before mentioned, in 1864. the number of votes cast, was 6.192. while at the irregular election, held in 1865. which is assumed as the basis for legislative action at this time, the aggregate of votes cast was 5.905. Sincerely anxious for the welfare and pros perifv of every Territory nnd State, as well as far the prosperity and welfare of the whole T T mon. I regret this apparent decline : n population in Colorado ; hut it is mani fest that it L due to emigration, whieh is going on from th< t Territorv into other re gion* within the United States, whieh either are in fact, or are believed hv the inhabit ants of Colnn<!<i to liclirr In mineral wealth and aprienltural resourees. If. how ever. Colorado has not really declined in population, another census or another elee tion under the authority of Congress would olaee the ouestion beyond donbt, and cause hut little delav in the ultimate admission of the Territory as a State if desired by the people. The tenor of these objections furnishes the reply which may be expected to an argu ment in favor of the measure derived from the Enabling act, which was passed bv Con cress on the 21st day of March, 1864, al though Con cress then supposed that the condition of the Territory was such as to warrant its admission as a State. The result of the two years' experience shows that every reason whieh existed for the institu tion of a Territorial instead of a State gov ernment in C olorado at its first organization still continues in force. The condition of the Union at the present moment is calcula ted to inspire cantion in resard to the ad mission of New States. Eleven of the old States have been for some time and still re main unrepresented in Congress. It is a common interest of a ! l the States, as well those represented as those unrepre sented, that the integrity and harmony of the Union should be restored as completely as possible, so that all those who are expec ted to bear the burdens of the Federal Gov ernment, shall be consulted concerning the admission of new States, that in the mean time no State shall be prematurely and un necessarily admitted to participation in the political power whieh the Federal Govern ® j nt , w l esdß ' not ft)r tte benefit of any indi vidual State or section, but for the common safety, welfare and happiness of the whole country. ANDREW JOHNSON. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15,1866. THE VIRGINIA UNION CONVENTION. Substitution of Votes for Bayonets. ALEXANDRIA, May 18. The Union Convention re assembled to day, Hon. John M. Botts in the chair, when Mr. Hill offered the following: Resolved, That accepting as the settled policy of this Convention, the resolutions and reports agreed upon, we organize our selves into a permanent political organiza tion, to be known as the Union Republican party of Virginia. Resolved, That a State Committee, con sisting of nine members, be appointed by the Convention, to act until the meeting of the next annual convention of this party. Resolved, That the State Central Com mittee be authorized to proceed, as soon as in their judgment it be deemed advisable, in forming County Central Committees in each county of the State, the members of each County Committee to be appointed for the first year by the State Central Commit tee, and afterwards by the County Conven tion. Resolved, That the State Central Com mittee be invested exclusively with the pow er to call State Conventions of the party, and the County Central Committee be in vested exclusively with power to call County Conventions of the party. After some little debate the resolutions were adopted. The following were reported by the Com mittee on Resolutions, and adopted. Resolved , That while we rejoice that both the executive and legislative branches of the National Government desire the establish ment of the great principle of equality of civil and political rights, we regret that they differ in opinion as to the legitimate means of gaining the same end, and we ? whose in terests are so much affected by this question, deem it our duty not to remain silent; there fore, as we are unable by any representation in Congress to take part in the national councils, we will do all we can to bring about the mutual wish of the President and Con gress by initiating State action in favor of impartial qualified suffrage, which, in our opinion, is one of the requisites of a Repub lican form of Government. Resolved, That the accountability of both the legislative and executive branches of the Government of a State to the whole people is the only safeguard against the enactment of partial and unjust laws, and the only sure protection against tyranny and oppression in the execution of all laws, so that if any con siderable portion of the community is denied a voice in the election, that portion of the people will be denied such perfect protection as ought to exist in the right of person and property. Resolved, That the doctrine of the right of secession was the principal issue of the late civil war, and that no policy of recon struction is safe which does not provide against the possibility of that issue arising again. Resolved , That while the late rebels affect to accept the situation, they not only hold the same opinions still, in regard to that is <ue, but openly advocate their views in that respect as the basis of party action in the future, we believe, for the purpose of ac complishing with votes what they have failed to accomplish with the bayonet Resolved, That the Chairman of this Con vention be authorized to appo nt a commit tee of five or eight persons, whose duty it shall be to visit the President to ascertain hi" feelings with reference to the objects and action of this Convention, and that this committee be requested to get from the President and Congress their indorsement of our action. Resolved, That the Union Republican party, of Virginia, believing that knowledge is power, and that an enlightened and virtu ous people can never be enslaved, and that the uiaiateuauce and perpetuation of repub lican institutions depends materially upon the education of the masses of the people, therefore we are in favor of a system of free school-, whereby universal .education may be disseminated. The True Reason for the Veto of the Colorado Bill. The apologists of' the President are en deavoring to convince the people that he vetoed the bill providing for the admission of Colorado as a State, because the territory lacked the necessary population, and because the people thereof have given no clear or constitutional expression in favor of a State organization. If it were true that Colorado is deficient in population, and that the peo ple of the territory did not apply for a State Government, the veto would be right But the facts are against the President, and the developments since the communication of the veto to Congress, show that Johnson, in this act, as in almost all his other official acts, has been controlled by selfish and cap tious motives. It appears that the Senators elect from Coloaado were summoned, the night before the veto was sent to Congress to the White House, where they were mani pulated by one of the President's private secretaries, who slyly informed them that if they pledged themselves to support "my policy," the act admitting their territory as a State would be signed. To this offer an indignant refusal was given. The Senators were next ushered into the august presence of the President, when the same offer was made them. The President of the United States did not hesitate to make the open bargain of crushing or elevating the people ofa territory, giving or withholding Trom them a State Government, as they concluded to support or oppose the policy of the Ad ministration. The Colorado Senators again rejected the humilitating offer, and, cus a consequence the Colorado hill was vetoed!. —We doubt if there is a fact in the history of the corruptions which have attended the career of all Democratic Administrations, equal in despotism and effrontery to the one above stated. — Harrtsburgh Telegraph. The Quacks at Work on Cholera Preven atives and Cures. The appearance of the cholera at New \ ork has aroused the inventive genius of the quacks, and we have now advertised in every newspaper of the country, all sorts of potions, pills, liquids, powders and astrin gents which are recommended as either po tent preventives or positive cures, igno rant people and timid housewives will be certain to be impressed by these deleterious decoctions and compositions. They will first quack, pill powder and drench themselves, and after they have thus shattered their sys tems and invoked the attack of a prevailing epidemic, patients will call in a regular physician, and their friends will grumble if they are not instantly relieved and cured. There is something senseless in all this, which must either be provided for in time, or death will desolate many a household, cairy panic to many a community, and deci mate the count 17 in spite of the efforts of the best quarantine regulations. As we advance into the summer season to be tempted with its crops of' indigestible vegetables and diarrhoea producing fruits, let the people learn to reject all deleterious food and rely on their regular physicians for relief in case of sickness. Abhor all quack ery. Swallow no medicine unless it is pre scribed by your regular family physician. Exercise judgment in the selection of your food, abstaining from gluttony, practising temperance, observing regularity and main raining cleanliness. These are the simple preventives of disease. It is not what is not eaten and drank, but what a man eats and drinks which engenders disease. Ex posure to night dews and damps—the almost contemptible frivolities of fashion in dicta ting the style of dress, irregular hours, habits of indolence and their consequence, filth of person, are sure to bring persons within the reacn of a prevailing epidemic. Regular habits, regular physicians, temper ance and cleanliness are the best preventives of all disease.— Uarrisburg Tdegraph, THE STATE PRISONER.

CHANDLER, United States Attorney for the District of Virginia. A MONITOR TO GO TO EUROPE. The continued carpings of the foreign press, especially that of England, against the American or monitor system ol iron clads. and their assertions that such vessels coula never cross the ocean, and were en tirely useless in a heavy sea, are about to be disapproved by a practical test. An op portunity has been afforded by the passage of the joint resolution congratulating the Emperor and the people of Russia on the escape of that sovereign from assassiuation, and Capt. G. V. Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, has been deputed to convey the resolution to Russia and present it to the Czar. He will proceed thither in the monitor Miantonomah. sister ship to the Monadnock, which has recently made such a successful trip round Cape Horn to Val paraiso, on her way to San Francisco. The Miantonomah is now at Halifax, awaiting the arrival of Captain Fox, and will soon start on her voyage. After performing his errand to the Czar Captain Fox will take the Miantonomah to most of the principal European seaports for the purpose of ex amining the present condition of the navies oi the Dowers. It is easy to imagine the utter amazement that will be created by the advent of this iron monster in Europe, not only at her armament and complete impreg nability, but at the refutation of the proph esies so foudly indulged in by the friends of broadside iron clads. The sight of such a vessel will do much to create a wholesome appreciation of the power of the American navy and the genius of the American peo ple in conceiving and eonsumatitig such a work. It would lie well were her conmiau er allowed to demonstrate the power of his guns by a shot or two atone of the uu wield ly broadside iron -clads ol England or France. Were hf allowed to do so, the fate of the ship would be forever sealed, for it would quickly be sent to the bottom. There is little doubt, however, that the opinion held abroad concerning these vessels will be rad ically changed by the trans-atlantic trip of the Miantonomah.— Philadelphia P-ess. Outrages in the I-'reedmen's Bureau. NEW YORK, May 14. The official report of Generals Fullerton and Steadman upon the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau in North Carolina, is published. It is quite lengthly, and reviews with vigor, the action of some of the agents who are accused of robbery, cruelty, and fraud. The report concludes: Complaints have been made to us by plan ters, that these agents of the Bureau use the power of their position to obtain the control of the best labor in tbeStato. There is no doubt that some of the ill-feeling man ifested toward the Bureau on the Dart of the planters, is attributable to this fact. The arbitrary power exercised by the officers and agents of the Bureau in making arrests, imposing fines and inflicting punishments, disregarding local laws, and especially the statute of limitations, creates prejudices against the United States Government. If the officers were all honest and intelligent, with even limited legal information, it might be safe to trust them with this extra ordinary power, but in many instances the officers do not possess the slightest knowl edge of law. We are satisfied that the re commendation which we made in reference to the withdrawal of the officers of the Bu reau in Virginia and the transference to the officers commandings the troops of such duty as it may still be necessary to perform in connection with the freedmen, is equally applicable to North Carolina. •SL.lt has been asked, when rain falls does it ever get up again ?

The Contrast The Democratic journals throughout the country are very extravagant in their abuse of the Senate for refusing to confirm the re cent appointments of the President. We would invite their attention to the following extract which we take from a speech made byAnirew Johnson in the Senate of the United States in 1860: "How has Lincoln been elected, and upon what basis does he stand? A minority J'resident by nearly half a million votes; but had the election taken place upon the plan proposed in my amendmnet to the Constitu tion by districts, he would have been this day defeated. But it has been done accor ding to the Constitution and according to law. lam for abiding by the the Constitu tion; and in abiding by it, I want to main tain and retain my place here and put down Mr. Lincoln, and drive bacL his advances upon Southern institutions, if he designs to make any. Have we not the brake in our hands? Have we not got the power? We have. Let South (.■arolma and her Sena tors come-, and on the 4th of March next, ice shall have a majority of six in this body against him. This successful sectional can didate, who is in a minority of a million or nearly so, on the popular vote, cannot make his LaJ/inet on the 4th of March next unless the Senate will permit him." "Am 1 to be so great a coward as to re treat from duty? I will stand here and meet the encroachments upon the institu tions of my country at the threshold; and as a man, as one that loves my country and my constituents, I will stand here and resist all encroachments, and advances. Here is the place to stand. Shall I desert the cita del and let the enemy come in and take pos session? No. Can Mr. Lincoln send a foreign minister or even a consul abroad - | less he receives the sanction of the Senate? Can he appoint a post master whose salary is over a thousand dollars a year without the consent of the Senate? Shall we desert out posts, shrink from our responsibilities and permit Mr. Lincoln to come with his cohorts as we consider them, from the North to carry off everything? Yes we are defeated accor ding to the forms of law and the Constitu tion; but the real victory is ours—the moral force is with us." Andrew Johnson was then as now a mem ber of the Democratic party, and the advice he then gave Democratic Senators is as good now as then. He prides himself upon his record, and here is his declared purpose, when a Senator, to refuse his sanction to any of the appointments of Mr. Lincoln.— Exchange. Cough, Cold, or Sore Throat.

BEDFORD HOUSE, AT HOPEWELL, BEDFORD COUKTT, PA., BY HARRY DROLLINGKB. Every attention given to make guests comfortable, who stop at this House. Hopewell, July 29, 184. QROVER fc BAKER'S Sewing Machines WERE AWARDED THE HIGHEST PREMIUMS at the State fairs of New York, New Jersey, Ver mont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich igan, Wisconsin, lowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Vir ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Ore gon, California, at the fairs of the American In stitute, Franklin Institute, Maryland Institute, Massachusetts Mechanics' Association, Penn. Me chanics' Institute, St. Louis Agricultural and Me chanics' Associcn, and at numerous Institute and County fuirs, includidg all the fairs at which they were exhibited the pa*t thiee years. First prizes have also been awarded these Ma chines at the exhibitions of London, Paris, Dub lin, Linz, Pesancon, Bayonne, St. Dizier, Chalons. And they have been furnished by special com inand to the tm|iress of France, Dmnress of Austria, Emuress of KUSNIK. Empress of Brazil, Queen of Spain and Queen of Bavaria. The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines are superior to all others for the follow ing reasons: 1. They sew direct frem the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us , and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent ly washed and ironed until thoy are worn out. 6. The structure of the seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends of the scam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used utton the right or face side of the seam, cotton may he used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great sating upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in uddition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.
