Without the stereotyped charge against the Republicans of beiDg in favor of Negro Equality, what would become of Copperhead logicians, orators, and editors? For the last ■i x years it has been utterly impossible to convene with any of tbem on the status of K.-litical parties, for any length of time, with out being defiasily told that the Republican ; party was i*r filtor of Negro Equably. Nor | onld yon take up one of their numerous journals and look "it on* without havingyour sensitiveness shocked by the Utifhiroess with which your views were tortured, to prove vi tor party were the ardent supporters of this Negro bug-bear. It is just as impossible to 1 get anything but Negro Equality out of their ordinary stump orators, as it is to get com mon seuse out of a maniac. Why. you wiH ask. is tie constant and labored effort made to prove that the Republicans are in favor of Vegro Equality? If they are. it ought not ! to exhaust all the logic and third-rate brains in toe land to establish the fact If they are not, then all the argument in the world will not make them be. But that is not the secret of the matter, they know as well as we do, that Social E j uality is one thing, and Politi cal Equality quite another. That the former is a matter of taste, while the latter is the mandate of the law. The former is the indi vidual estimation, the latter the judgment of civilisation. The one is discretionary, the other is the mandate of Justice. The tree i >iut is this: Slavery prostituted every taste ' and interest k He aggrandizement. It pre n.diced the masses of the ignorant world against the poor enslaved, it fed the mor b d scnsibil; y of superiority which pervades ■i, ir. qority of mankind and it created a i antagonism between the two great systems of labor. The engenderings of these great , Mipposed to be still lingering in the breasts of the loyal masses, and at this last dreg of slavery those who bat e been Wedded to th- ine!tntion are constantly Stirrfeg- This is why the Copperheads are so incessant ly bellowing Negro Equality in every sen tence they utter, and in every line they write. I There was a time when this ciy might have j beer, very effective, but it has lost its force, i" L itr gave us any concern, iu fact it has Hihur pleased us that the charge baa been constantly reiterated. We have always be lieved that it would produce the very result tha; these demogogues appear most to fear — the deration of the Negro race from the posi tion of bondmen to that of enlightened, reli gious and industrious freemen. There is nothing in this world like agitation: what may appear obnoxious and unpopular to day. by constant agitation, year in and year out, whether it be affirmative or negative, IR THE tarts UK atom, will educate the people up to it. ** sure as to-morrow's sun will rtse.

This is no sophistry. As the violent waves dash age after age upon the rock causing detrition, so the violent storm of feaaUcistn directed year after year to the prejudice against the poor Negro, will wear away, and the long prayed for era of Civil and Political Liberty will be, in the end, ac corded. without a murmur, to ail maukind. Then let our Copperhead friends continue the g >od work, and they may rest assured that they have the best thanks of every lover of Political and Civil Liberty in the land, it is not only educating our people up to the progressive standard of the age, but they are accomplishing what anti-slavery men could not accomplish in any other way, unless they were placed under the same circumstances. Republicans have nothing to fear from this cry of Negro Equality. M AP P HALT OCA PIT At,.

' "OVER THE SEAS. The successful crossing of the Atlantic by our lit n Clad Monitor, the Miantooomah, has aroused the British people to a vivid realisation of their position as * naval pow er. The presence in their own harbors of an American war vessel which the London Time* admits to be more than a match for anything in the whole British Navy, or per haps the whole navy combined, is an inci dent calculated to make snobbish John Bud feel anything but comfortable. The sufo arrival of the Monadnock at San hraucisco, in the best of fighting trim, aAer a trip from Philadelphia around Cape Horn, a voyage of two hundred a®d forty days, through all kinds of weather, fully confirms the safety and seaworthiness of our monitors Lite se are disagreeable facts for John Bull. Mat hew Arnold told the British people some time ago that was no longei a first class power. That'•Britannia" no longer "rules (be kkvg ' ha.-' become evident to the most stolid of beef-eating Englishmen. The Tendon Examiner acknowledges this, not in-so many words, but in fact, when in view of the Alabama claims and Fenian raids it pats Unrie sam on the baek and patronizingly declares that we are not only blood relations, but arc and ought always to be friends, in the follo wing style : 1 The M-kndonomah and her consorts have we hepe, received such a welcome on their well-timed visit as may go some little way towards the removal of cherished American jealousies and prepossessions, tor well-nigh the first time tbe government of the United States has appeared of lateto remember that we are cousins but once removed. Let Amer ica keep her favorite word of self-designa tion- "Anglo- Saxon RR however improperly used, as she bears in iind. though she will not avow, that it means simply English. If she will but say over her readily offered cup, "fn this I bury all unkindness. Britain," trho so ready as England to answer. My heart is thirsty for that noble, 'pledge.?" She- i* a-great member of a peat family, anil she eannot change her blood though she changtr her name.' The tables are turned. John Bull didn't talk so three years ago. Wouldn't the present be a favorable time for settling that little score known as the "Alabama Claim. AT TUBUS U TRICKS. The rebels encouraged by Presidential treachery cannot even annulate loyalty long enough to gain admission foe their represen tatives into Congress but are returning already to their o'd tricks. Not the least mischievous among these is that of tamjier ing with the mails. Andy Johnson s post masters, deliberately appointed with the knowledge that they could not take the oath of office, feeling safe under his protection, nre already practicing the old trick of refusing to deliver such papers as don't happen to suit their own peculiar notions as to what is proper reading tor Southern people. Most prominent among the papers thus proscribed by Southern Postmasters are the Rirjhl Way, Harper*' Weekly, The New York Tribune, &c. Why don't, the copper head papers, that so eagerly upheld the freedonrof the press to spout treason during the war, now use their influence with the President m the interest of a free press. Is freedom-oC the press more dangerous in peace than iir war ? Are copperheads and rebels afraid to let the Southern people hear both sides of the question of reconstruction t Is the South fit for restoration while it muz zles the press ? QUEER MATERIAL FOR A UNION PARTY. The Randall Convention proposing to or ganize a 'National Union Party finds it self in possession of some very queer mate rial out of which to construct a "Union" party. Called together by an executive committee composed of such men as Cowan and Doolittle, each of whom having deser ted the true Union party, has been request ed to resign his seat as no longer represent ing his constituents, supported by every rebel leader and Northern copperhead, the character of its work may be easily predicted. When the leading delegates are such men as Fernando Wood, James Brooks, George H. Pendleton, George W. Morgan, Judge Woodward, F. W. Hughes, H. (I Dean, A. C, Dodge, W. H. Packer, Wm. Bigler, Jerry Black and a host of more or less noted rebels from the Southern States they, can have but one aim, to elevate rebels to power. Such men ma.? unite, and "stealing the liv ery of Heaven to serve the Devil in" may call themselves a a " National Union Par tybut it will be neither more nor less than a National REBEL Union. LATEST NEWS. The news up to the time of going to PRESS is highly important. A great riot TOOK place in New Orleans on the 3(>th ult. , head ed by the rebels and "My Policy" men. Quite a number of negroes were shot. The riot grew out of the awewbling of the Con vention which is to inaugurate steps looking to the adoption of the Constitutional Amend ment. The city has been placed under mar tial law and the riot suppressed. The State of Georgia has also been placed under mar tial law, owing to the conduct of the recon structed. An indiscriminate murder of ne groes is given as the cause of this important step. The news from Mexico confirm the critical condition of the Empire. The Em press is represented as on her way to Europe. The liberals have had a number of success es. From Europe we learn that peace ne gotiations were still in progress. The At lantic cable appears to be working splen didly. L®F*THE indiscriminate copperhead and rebel rush for the Philadelphia Convention will satisfy the mind of any unbiased man that the copperheads grasp at this opportu nity as a dying man grasps at straws. It is a question of 'live or die, survive or perish" with Iheiu. ■i-JUHLI..—J I J. One James Buchanan, who, it is said, asserts that he was once President of the United States, arrived at the Bedford Springe one day last week. The individual in question is wary old and his hallucination of mind may be attributed to dotage. lOrAs amusing story is told. which wJH mil US iijßiiW to illustrate Democracy, of a lady, who being loved by five seductive young men. was advised to "'jump over board and marry the man that jumped in after her.'' Accordingly, the next morning, the five lovers being,on deck, looking very devotedly at the kefe S,K; plunged into the sea head foremost. Four of the lovers immediately jumped in after her. W hen the lady and her four lovers were out again, she says to the captain, "What am I to do with them now. they are so wd? "fake the dry one,' was the prompt response. The live ardent lovers of Democracy are Slavery, State Rights, Secession, Rebellion and Treason, the four former plunged into the war vigorously and Treason is left for the old lady Democracy, the bonds are to be connected on the 14th of August, at Philadelphia, with unwsuak pomp and fes tivity. ffi3fc_"Should the Radicals carry the elec tions lu October, the result would lie the es tablishment of two and two Con gresses, for the Radical sectional majority would then immediately impeach President .Johnston and turn hint out, while on the eth er hand the Democratic members of Congress would unite with the regularly elected mem bers from the South." The reader of ten year's standing cannot tail to reoognixu ia the above the usual swagger of the plantation. It requires no labeling to tell us that this extract einenates from a Southern braggadocio. It was thought that the war hid taken the swagger out of this class of creatures, but it is all a mistake. Montgomery Blair eomes on the Copperhead stand at [leading and i'uhni uatOßthe above threat in the usaai vein. But we tell him that the Northern people have had their last scare, and cannot be bullied in the future THIN SKINNED. —The copperhead admi rers of Andy Johnson made a great parade of his allusion in Presidential slang to Col. Forney as a "dead duck" esteeming it a brilliant witticism. Bat they are terribly exercised at (iov. Bmwnlow's compliments to the "dead dog" of the White House. Brownlows compliments arc sometimes a little vulgar, though we had scarcely expec ted him to lower himtclf to the level of the .President's -dang, in doing so he has cer tainly stooped to conquer. The President is beaten at his own game. "The dead dog" of the White Hoa.se will take its place along side the "dead duck" with the differ ence that the "dead dog" is decidedly the sharpest dig among the T). D's. The G'tzetle essays to be sarcastic at the expense of the Republican party be cause Col. John 11. Filler and ('apt. John S.

Can the friends of Clymer who are organizing soldier clubs say as much ? SegfThe last Gazette contains a number of lamentations over tke failure of several Re publican soldiers to receive nominations at the hands of the Republican party. Out of eleven names standing at the mast-head of our paper five of them are soldiers. This is within a fractitu of half of toe whole number running. How is il with the ticket at the head of the Gazette * We have no knowledge of an agreement on the part of the Republicans to give all the offices to sol diers ; if there is aty such arrangement, we have never heard it it, nor do the soldiers ask it. they simply desire their legitimate share, which is eeri&iuJy not more than half. JriyA Southern paper has been con gratulating itself upon the result of a suit brought in Cincinnati by a colored man against a Judge of election for refusing to receive his vote, in which the damages were laid at one cent. It infers from this that if the South must extend the franchise to to the Negro, that it will be a very cheap luxury at tbat price, and it intimates that they can afford to purchase it. All we ask is for them to "try it on." The South should not hesitate a moment if this is to betaken as a basis of the price to be paid.

The Pittsburgh Commercial comments it the following style upon the cry raised by s certain class of Newspapers tbat complair bitterly about the board fence advertising nuisance, but are not at all offended at see ing the same objectionable advertisement) in their own columns : "We, however, quite agree with oui cotemporaries in what they say about suet advertisements. But we confess that wt are not able to see, why they are so mucl worse when spread upon n board fence, than when presented more legibly in the coltnnns x a newspaper. Board-fence -crawls might -tand a year and not be seer ly the gentle and chaste eyes of twenty ladies in the city. But the daily paper which admits filthy advertisemants, design i;<| to pander to vice and erime, enters th boose, displays its offensive contents in the parlor and nursery, is read by the young o1 both sexes, and suggests no one can tell what amount of low, obscene and debasing ideas. The board fence, from the nature of the case, can afford advertising facilities onh to if very limited extent. The names of t few articles is all tbat can be given, or per imps a reference to some quack doctor's or fortune teller's rallying spot for fools. Bui the daily or weekly paper that deals ir. nau seous wares can give minute directions, and ,-pread out all the incentives to vice, and ear detail and fnrnish all the data for a caloula tion of the chances of escaping the conse quences of it. And such papers are intro auced by parents into the bosom of theii families, to be the daily reading of then unsuspecting and virtuous sons and daugb tflfcs. . The class of advertisements to whicr we refer, and which we cannot, withoui impropriety, more particularly describe, is utterly repugnant to taste and injurious t( morals, whether on the fence or in the new> paper. But if they are to shamefully stars a virtuous community in the face, let them by all means be scrawled on the fences, ant not be exhibited with displayed and illus trated squares in respectable nowsparers. We have no quarrel with the board-fen ccs on the score of corruption. On prinei pie, and out of respect to the character anc wishes of our readers, the Commerciai refuses advertisements of the kind referrec to. They encourage vices of the most de basing and ruinou* kinds, by holding on l hopes of exemption from the inevitabh consequences. They are disgusting to re fined taste and mora! principle, and they are utterly deceptive and false. as is well known by cverv respectable physician in the conn try. We have no desire to participate ir the profits derived from such advertising and they are not small, but are quite willint that the board-fenocs and their competitor should share it between them. We cannoi see, however, the consistency of the news papers taking the fences to task on theseori of morals, while their own columns ar< reekin? with tb< name kind of ndvertiwo ments in a lorni much more effective foi evil." ■NEW INTERNAL REVENUE LAW The new internal revenue law exempt.' from taxation many articles which shouki speedily be reduced in price ir consequence of its provisions, even to a much greater extent than the tax heretofore paid to the Government, inasmuch as that virtually formed an element of cost of production, upon which a profit was charged by the middle men intervening between producer? and consumers. The current expenses nj hou-"keeping should be diminished by the abrogation of the tax upon animals slaugh tered, including cattle, calves, s4.eep and -wine, beeswax, coal, flavored extracts for cooking purposes, molasses made from beets, i-orn, sugar, maple, sorgum or imphec, sab ratus, soda, saltpetre, soap not above three rents per pound, starch, sugar and syrup, pickles, vinegar, wine and yeast, as well upon articles of apparel and of furniture, such as brooms, baskets made of snlints, pillows, parasols and umbrellas, repairs ol all kinds, steel hoop-skirt wire, silver spoons, stoves, tin cans used for preserved meats, fish, vegatabks, jams, jellies and Spi oes. wooden-ware, etc. The expenses of house building should be reduced by the abrogation of the tax upon bricks, freestone marble, rock, stone and soupstone (foi building purposes), lime, putty, roofing, slates, slabs and tiles, paints, whiting, win dow glass, &e. The expenses of farmer will be diminished by the abrogation of the tax upon fertilizers of all kinds, cotters ol .straw and hay, cultivators, corn-shelle is, cotton and hay presses, wagon spokes, fel lows. hubs and wheels, harrows, the WIXKI en handles of ploughs and other agricultural implements, mills for the manufacture ol sugar, syrup and molasses, from sorghum, winnowing mills, threshing machines, mow ers and reapers, horseshoe nails, horse rakes, hand-rakes, ploughs, planters, shoe? for horses, mules and oxen, Ac. The expense of patriotic displays will be dimin isolid by the abrogation of the tax on bant ing, banners maac of bunting of domestic manufacture, and flags of the United States. Municipal expenses will be reduced by the abrogation of the tax on iron bridges, cast ings for iron bridges, pipes, drain and sow er &c The tax on intelligence is abroga ted by exempting books, book-binding, offi cial documents, issued by United State? officers, or officers of any State, county, town or corporation, the productions of electrotypers, engravers and lithograph ers, and printing paper and printed matter of all description. Educational, charitable and patriotic associations will be benefitted by the exemption of manufactures for deal arid dumb, machinery and mounting of tel escopes for astronomical purposes, and mon uments erected by public or private contri butions to commemorate the service of Un ion soldiers who have fallen in battle. Man ufactiifes of many kinds will be relieved from the taxation heretofore imposed upon the raw materials thoy use, and their chan ce- of successful competition with foreign riva'gwill thus be materially increased. Con siderable relief has been extended to the maootanturer# of iron and steel, as well as to those who make textile fabrics and to mcflitiiiics and ship builders. These impor tant exemptions should speedily exert a salutary influence in diminishing the cur rent expenses of every family and of every important business. —, •'Washed Overboard." Mr. Seward, in his Auburn speech, speak ing of the difficulties between the President and Congress, said the Republican party wopld not be broken up or materially dam aged. Herein he was probttMya true proph et. But he admitted that a few persons might bo washed overboard by the waves that had been raised. A correct ratiocina tion also. We wonder, if Mr. Seward hiy? diiteovered who the Unfortunates unl. i 4 the pilot at the wheel safe?— ComT/iercinl.

THE PRESIDENT, BY ONE OF HIS FRIENDS. "Maek," the Washington correspondent of The Cincinnati Commercial, who is repu ted to be a friend of the President, and has the run of the Executive Mansion thus writes of Mr. Johnson's present position: "What many predicted, and some feared in regard to the President and the constitu tional amendment, turns out to be alto gether too true for the reputation of the President and the good of the country. There is evidence which cannot lie disputed that Mr. Johnson has committed himself to the work of preventing the ratification of the proposed amendment in his own State. TheriTis also however, very satisfactory evi dence that he will not succeed; but that Tennessee will ratify that wise, just, and necessary measure and that, too, perhaps, before this letter sees the light of print. Mr. Johnson seems to have a penchant for the imitation of historic characters. First he was Moses, leading the colored race out of bondage to freedom, and showing them the promised land from the Pisgah top of the State House at Nashville. He got tired of playing Moses after a while, and. advan cing about two thousand years in a single stride appeared upon the public stage in the character of a Tribune of the people. He r-ccros to have abandoned the Tribune business, thinking it better in the hands of Horace Greeley than in his. and now he is enacting the role of the Danish monarch, who distinguished himself from his cotem poraries by the belief that he could make the waves of the sea obey him. And there he sits, like his great prototype, Canute, not exactly bidding the Atlantic to recede, but more foolish still bidding the waves of popular opinion, more powerful a thousand fold than those of the Atlantic, to keep away from him and the latest development of his policy. "Seriously, it is time for Mr. Johnson to tell the country just what his polieyis. There are grave doubts on the subject in the minds of his best friends. If it is sim ply to secure the right of representation to the Southern States, when they present thenrsolres in an attitude of loyalty, and in the pefsqns of men capable of submitting to legal tc.-ts as to their loyalty, then his policy ft endorsed by a great majority of the peo ple of this country, principally because it was the policy of Mr. Lincoln before him. If, however in order to be a Johnson man, one must indorse the present Executive in his recent efforts to give a posthumous re spectability to the administration of John Tyler, I take it that Johnson men in the Republican party will be found about as scarce as plums in a boarding school pud ding." -Chicago RepuMican. NAPOLEON'S DESIGNS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. A correspondent of the New Vork Her ald writing from Mexico under date of July 3. says : "The French continue very bitter in their feellings against Americans and especially the newly arrived officers are very free in their expressions of what is the design of Napoleon towards the United States. A prominent officer, a few days since, red in very offensive terms the French hatred of American progression, and decla red it to be the settled policy of both Eng land and France to prevent the United States from obtaining a foothold under any pretence, upon Mexico. His argument was that if the Federal Government should ever do so it would control the commerce of the world, dictate terms to France and Eng land,and. with the alliance of Russia, en danger the peaee of Europe; the states wouM soo# dispossess Spain of Cuba, thus acquiring the monopoly of the cotton, su gar, and coffee trade—the prime necessities of the world—and thus make all other nations mere tributaries to them. He also observed that so well was this understood by the two nations most interested ia prevent ing it. that tbo r plan of eo-operation was already ivreed upon. and the peace of Eu rope dnpe secured, the Mexican question wowkl fete solved, and that, too, not at all to tf*> liking of the United States- This may be alt bosh. but the officer's position enables him to acquire State secrets, and the H"* that it accord , with the expression* of a'l new arrivals is at least significant.* Need op Firmness.— There never was a period in the hiatory of our country when it pas more important for the people to be inn on a question of national polity, than jn this They must require from the late 'ebels somplete recognition of the freedom ind equality of the blacks: acceptance of the principles embodied in the proposed Amendment of the Constitution; tne estab lishment of sufficient guaranties for the iberties that have been won by war, and the entering rnto irrevocable obligations to surrender their pestilential dogma of State sovereignty, and to retrain forever from at tempted revolution. Until this is done they must understand that they cannot par ticipate in the Government, nor secure the ;ntrance of their representatives into Con gress.—PotUville (Pa.) Miner's Journal. The White Man's Government. In three Districts of South Carolina the r,umber of white peonle, by the census of 1860, was 120,000, and that of the blacks 223,000. The number of /oters, all white, was 19,400. These Di tacts had three Members of Congress and three Presidential Electors. That would be their number if it was strictly a white man's Government. But as the South depended for its political status on the darkies, it must have a ( presentation of them in Congress and in Presidential elections. One of the three in :he above Districts represented the white population and two stood in Congress for ;he negroes. A white man's Government should have things fixed in a different vay.— l Pittsburgh. Commercial. A Deserted C ITV. —A correspondent of he Boston Traveller writing from Germany :hus speaks of Antwerp: "It is melancholy to sec a city, once so wealthy and powerful as Antwerp, now so lecayed and deserted. Miles of streets are mptv and silent as the canipagna; the churches have half a dozen worshippers; shopkeepers all wear a depressed and hun gry look, as if customers were rare articles, md I certainly believe there were more streets than horses. I dressed myself for the table d' hote dinner at the hotel, exac ting to meet a large company, but to my istonishment I saw only a forlorn and •olitary Englishman eating his soup. He told me that for two days he had had the table d'hote all to himself, and was rejoiced to have some one to talk to besides the wai ter.

They would till Broadway six feet high, froui the Park to 4th street. Drake's manufactory is one of the institutions of New York. It is said that Drake painted all the rocks in the Eastern States with his cabalistic "S. T.—1840. X." and then got the old granny legislators to pass a law "pre venting disfiguring the face of nature," which gives him a monopoly. We do not know how this is, but we do know the Plantation Bitters sCLL as no other article ever did. They are used by all classes of the community, and are death on Dyspepsia—certain. They are very invigorating when languid and weak, and a great appetizer. Saratoga Spring Water, sold by aiidruggists.
