know these measured of Congress
have done much to wound, nothing to I
heal. Yet, notwithstanding all that Con- I
grew has done to embitter their hatred
toward the kladiral policy, there is neith
er thought, nor wish, nor hope to restore I
slavery, nor to separate from the Union,
nor of rebellion agninst the authority of
the government; all evidenee proves the ,
contrary.
In the whole rebel army which surren
dered I challenge any ;Senator to point I
me to a single Instance in which the I
rebel officer has violated his par
or ole; or
to a single man, of any position prom
nence at the South, who after taking
the oath of allegiance has violatert
his
plighted faith.
No man can more deeply feel than I do
the great and monstrous folly and crime
of tiniloll4o4llon, which brought so much
of ageng,..and of blood upon 'all parts of
vet' belbeed land, which robbed us of
our sons and dearest kindred, and threw
a shade of sorrow over our hearts which
will never puss away until they cease to
beat. But now that blood has ceased to
tins ;UOW that three years of peace have
elaphed ; note that the whole South has
surrendered, and every interest they
have or east hope for is to be found under
the Comithution; now that they
in good faith pledged anew their elle-
Orifice, and desire to join with us in,
building the waste places overrun by this
demisting war; now that they have, ha
fact, ceased to be rebels, why shall we
continue to denounce them as rebels,
and to remain rebels , and enemies forever?
Is that the Way to restore prosperity? Is
that the course of wise statesmanship."
Will that bring permanent peace?
What do the great examples of history
teach us in dealing with rebellions If not
that, after force has been subdued by
force, magnanimity Is more powerful
than revenge; that love conquers what
hate never can—the hearts and affections
of a, people
When Latium, one of the Roman pro
vinces, revolted, and the revelt was put
down by arms, the question ahem in the
'Wallin Senate, what shall be done with
lotium and the people of Latium ?—t
There were some then who cried, "dis
franehise them ;" - Othere said, "collate
caze their property." There were none
who said, 'suoject them in vassalage to
thsir slaves."
13ut old Camillus, in that speech which
revealed his greatness, and made hie
name immortal, said: "Senators, make
them your fellow-citizens, and thus add
to the power and glory of Rome." In
this high place, in this Senate of the
great Republic of the world, outgrowth
of the atvihwtlon Of all the ages, cannot
we, Sedatore, rise to the height of that
great 'argument ?
At present, what dq we behold? Now
that the war is over, now that every re
bel has laid down his arms, now that the
people of the South have unanimously
agreed to abolish slavery forever, to obey
the Censtitution, and discharge every
duty as citizens of the United States, the
Radicals of the North have morally be
gun a new rebelliou Reenlist the Union
and the e.ristitution ; tor, raising anew
the old crY of the Radicals of the.idouth,
they now :litre that the States of the
South are o side the Constitution, and
that Congress, chug outside the Consti
tution, has un fled power over them
as over eonque territories. In , their
blind zeal for t e advancement of the
negro they p 'to overthrow the
Const Retro
ject the wi ite race to the domination 'of
the negro.
As men : ho claim to be tholriends of
liberty, we have no right to do that.
As Christians who claim to have learn
ed something of forgiveness from the
teachings of our Savior, we have no right
to do that.
As members of that great Caucasian
race which has given the world its civi
lization, we have no right to do that.
As statesmen who desire to restore the
hienedugs of peace, we have no right to do
titat which would inevitably make eight
Millions of our own race and kindred in
our own land eternal enemies of the gov
ernment. •
AS statesmen ;who, with ordinary sa
gacity, should look to the futurt and pos
sible-wars with foreign powers, we ought
to make baste to restore sentiments of
affection and - patriotism in all that vast
region, Urger and richer by far in natur
al resource:, than England, France, and
Pruseia all combined.
And I ask, Mr. President, with all the
De80:14198 of which the soul is capable,
an any la umaifbei ng conceive of a mess
re so well calculated to make the whole
bite people of the South, men, women,
ud-ebildren, hate and loathe our govern
ent, to hate it with a perfect. hatred, to
ather around the family altar upon their
aided knees to curse it, and in the
ony of prayer to call upon God to curse
t, as this Radical reconstructiou which
asks to disfranchise the heart and brain
I the South and to subject at the point
Li.
f the bayonet the white race to the du-
Minion of their late half-civilized Afri-
Can slaves? Instead of peace it gives
them a sword; instead of hope it fills
them with despair; instead of civil liber
ty! it gives them military despotism.—
White disfranchisement and negro domi
pation was the idea which inspired and
roYoked the riot at New Orleans. It
has arrayed everywhere the blacks and
whites in hostility to each other, of
ten resulting in bloodshed all over the
South. It tends directly to bring on
that war of races which in the West
Indies enacted scenes of horror to sicken
and appal the world.
That war is now impending over all
the South—it is only the presence of the
Federal Army which preventejta out
break upon a gigantic scale--a war
which, once begun, will end, I fear, In
the exile or extermination of the blacks
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
I know the Senator from Ohio (Mr.
'Wade,) in a speech in the late canvass,
had no fears of such a war or of its results.
Be is reported to have said, "let that
war come; let-them light it out." God
grant that war may never come] But,
if it does come, no amount of military
discipline can compel the white men of
the North to tike part to the massacre of
their own race and kindred.
Mr. President, having considered at
some length the second answer to my
question, and finding that it is not sus
tained by the facts, that it is bad in prin
,ciple and worse in policy, I repeat the
question a third time—why press this
negro supremacy over the whites of the

The Senator from Massachusetts ;Mr.
Wilson), as if by authority, says: "We
will take no step backward." Mr. Col
flax, In his recent letter, re-echoes: "Not
a hair's breadth." 'Such, I fear, is the ,
fatal reaolutiou taken by the majority.
The moult of the recent elections, show
ing that a rottFrrity in the Northern and
Western States is opposed to that policy,
so far (ruin changing a resolution from
which the Radical party dare not retreat,
pushing it 011 to the buidneee of despair.
It sepi that Be majority in the North
and West is already lost. It dare not
exclude the South in the next election.
The South must be forced at the point
of the bayonet, 'by white disfranchise
ment and negro suffrage, to vote for the
, Radical, or he will be beaten. ' The um
, jorlty in the Northern and 'Western
States against -hint must, therefore, be
overcome by -the negro 'votes of the
South.
Sir, we shall see if the people of the
United States will allow the regular army
which now controls this ignorant negro
vote in the South, to hold the balance of
power lu the Republlc'and tb elect to the
Presidency the candidate of negro snore
macy, upheld by military despotism.
Shall -Pretoriah hands control the Presi
dency, as in the degenerate days of Rutile

no prophet; but, if not mistaken in the
signs of the times, the American people
are not prepared for that. The Demo
cratic party, everywhere freeing itself
from the errors of the past, p.lahtlug itself
upon thi , living issues of the hour, wel
coming into Its ranks all who are opposed
to this radical and barbarian policy of
subjecting the States Of the South to
negro suprernagy by military dictator
ship, all who ere In favor of maintaining
the integrity of the Union, the rights
of the iiitatee, and She liberitiee of the
people Odder the Constitution, and all
who neither admit the doctrine of South
ern Radicalism which brought on this
rebellion, that a State may secede from
the Union, nor admit that other doctrine
of the Northern Radical, no less revolu
tionary, that, Congress may exclude or
distranchise ten States-from the Union,
are now comipg together upon the plat
form of the fathers of the Constitution,
and iu the same fraternal spirit in which
it was formed, and by which alone it
can be maintained
Sir, there are times when public opin
ion is like a placid stream gently flowing
within its banks, when slight obstacles
may for a time arrest or change or divert
its course. Then, it may be said, - the
voice of the people is the voice of politi
cians ; the voice of the people is the will
of, a party. But there are other times
when the heavens are overcast., there:us
have descended, and the floods have
come that its majeetio current rolls on,
emblem of wrath and power, when resis
tance maddens its fury and increases its
strength. Then it overflows its banks.
The barriers of partylcaucuses and poli
ticians are all swept away and become
mere flood wood on the surface of the
troubled waters. The voice of the people
then is no longer the voice of politl della ;
then it Is that the voice of the people is
the vioce of God.
And now, sir, what do we behold? A
dominant majority iu this Senate and in
Congress, under the lead of Northern
Radicalism, at the point of the bayonet
forcing negro suffrage and negro govern
ments upon ten States of the Union and
six millions of people against their will.
What was the outrage upon Kansas, com
pared to that? We see them practically
disselving the Union by excluding ten
States from the Union, thus doing what
the rebellion could never do, and what
we spent $5,000,000,000 and five hundred
thousand lives of our best and bravest to
prevent. For long months we have seen
them euroiising steadily and persistent
ly upon c
thejust rights of the Exectutive ;
and now, to rivet their chains upon us,
and to crown the whole of their usu a
tiona, they propose to subjugate the . -
piente Court; to overturn justice in he
sacred seat lu this tribunal of last resort.
They would compel the Court whale
office It is to hold an even balance be
tween the States on the one hand and
the Federal government on the other,
and also between the several departments
of the government, to place false weights
in the balances. They would make the
weight of the opinions of three judges in
favor of the usurpations of Congress more
Until equal the weight of the opinions of
five Judea in favor of the rights of other
departments, the rights of the States, and.
the liberties of the people.
Sir we are in the midst of a new rebel
lion, bloodleas as yet, hut which threatens
to destroy the Constitution, and with it
the last hope of civil liberty for the
world. But let us notsurretider our faith
in the people nor our faith in republican
institutions. The people everywhere are
coming to the rescue. They are again
rising above party and the clamors and
denunciations of partisans. Hundreds
and thousands of the earnest Republi
cans who supported Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration have already severed their
relations to this revolutionary party.—
Hundreds of thousands more are ready
to do so and to strike hands with the
great mass Of the Democratic party to
rescue the Constitution fron this new re
bellion against it.
They are organized everywhere, from
Maine to California, not upon the dead
issues of the past for inglorious defeat.
There is too much at stake, and they are
too tembly in earnest for that. lint
with living men, upon the Living issues
of the present, they will organize for a
victory so complete and overwhelming
that the votes of the negro•States of the
South cannot hold the balance of power
and decide the election against them?
That came patriotism which led hundreds
of thousands of Democrats to sustain the
Republican party in putting down the
rebellion of the tioutkiern Radicals, will
now lead hundreds of thousands of Re
publicans to act with the Democratic
party to overcome the no less .dangerous
doctrines of the Radicals of the North.
They are Lighting in the same cause of
the libion and the Constitution, and for
the spirit which gives them life.

CThe Lancaster Intelligence 7, iu an aril
cle on General Grant, says : The revul
sion in popular feeling le wonderful.
The man whom all men respected but a
short time ago has fallen very low in
pOpular estimation. The recent conduct
of Gen. Grant cannot be defended. No
man who is prepared to estimate what is
truly honorable can help feeling that he
hailcted the disreputable part of a po
litioal The reputation which
be won as a soldier has been sadly
tarnished, and, if he should be the can
didate of the Radicals, he cannot expect
to be treated with any greater considera
tion by his opponents than Chase or
Wade a ould be. He will carry the
votes of those who approve of the plat
form on which be stands, and not one
more. The Democracy do not fear him.
I They feel perfectly confident that he
I can be beaten, and they wilPhave the
advantage of having him pretty well
peed up before the campaign is formally
opened. All that is needed to secure our
aticcess Is the exercise of proper sagacity
in selecting candidates. The coming
battle is to he fonght upon the living
issues of the present pax, and we should
take care that nothing be dope by us to

to-day to the masterly •-peech delivered
by Ijvatar putitito9, _the
States Senate, on the 2341 ultimo. Radi
cal Senators have endeavored to answer
it, but withont effect. The distinguish•

on his Side, and Is therefore Irrefutable.

The Radicals carried the Eighth Con-
Kre . issional District of Ohio in 1806 by a
majority of 1,R52; and, last week, (to fill
the vacancy 'caused by the death of Mr.
Hamilton,) they carried it again, but
only by about 700 majority. The Cincin
nati Enquirer says an immense amonnt
of money was spent by them—and that
the friends of Vallandigham refused to
turn out to the election, through a feel
ing of bitterness caused by his defeat for
C. S. Senator. It way in addition be
stated that the Radical candidate, to
s'ave himself from defeat, ram' out open
ly in
,favor of paying Gov( rnment bonds
itt ortenbaeks ! The Radicals are indulg
ing In a crow over thimiesult, but it only
shows how terribly the popular revulsion
has frightened them when the carrying
atone of their own districts producesauch
au effect. Really, dying Radicalism is
•
easily consoled.
VIOWIN IT?
Wendell Phillips; the great Radical,
says, in the "Ina-Staresy Standard, "ru
mors reach us from Washington, coming
Pow different and trustworthy sources,
that General Grant has been .seen unmis
takably drunk in the streets of that city
's i thin a few weeks"-and calls upon the
National and State, Temperance Societies
to ".investigate these reports," and "give
us the facts." "It is," continues Phil
, lips, "perilous enough to give the Presi
dency to a man who was confessedly an
' inebriate drunkard two or three years ago.
But it will be the gravest crime to give it
to him if that vice still holds him In its
iron grasp."
But Wendell Phillips does not stand
alone in making this charge. Theodore
Tilton, occupying-one of the high‘stseats
iu the Radical church, says that "ocea
siodally a PreAidential candidate is seen
fuddled on the streets ;" that this happens
on Sunday ;. that "one glass poured down
the .throat of the next- President of the
United States, makings hell in Ids blood,
may give this whole nation the detfri, , ,),
teem( ns."
The Revolutiun, a vigorous Radical pa
per, says : "Tile talk is that a Cabinet
officer called General Grant a liar' and a
'sneak,' " and that "OZneral Grant is
drunk half his time, and has been seen
steadying himself on another's arm in
Pennyluania Avenue."
It is also said that Ben. Butler is ou
"the war path" again, and "is actively
engaged in gathering affidavits relative
to Grunt's before mentioned alleged 'un
steady'exhibitions."'
These reports cannot be set down m.
"Copperhead lies," because they are all
taken from the highest Radical sources ;
and thus started and fathered, Alurely
comment by Democratic journalsis ren
dered unnecessary. They must fall with
great gravity upon a large portion of the
"God and morality" party. How will
they act in the case? Honest people
must watch, and they will see. •
STARTLING DECLABATIONR.
Senator Sprague, of Rhode and,
made &speech in the United Stales Sen
ate recently, in which he said "that
ruin was staring the coun/y in the face
as the result of thepresent financial
policy, and if It was opt changed repudi
ation would follow, and he for one would
assist the movement !" What, asks the
Chambereburg Spirit, do — the Radicals
think of this, coming from a Radical
enator from New linglancl ? Are there
nit some thinking men in the Radical
raifiss who will conclude that it is about
time to have a change in Congress when
the financial policy of the dominant
party is thus severely denounced by one
of their own public men? Sprague is
the wealthiest man,-the largest manu
facturer and the heaviest bondholder in
either branch of Congress. Such is his
sense of the injury that is being done to
the commercial, manufacturing and
agricultural interests of the country, by
the unwise financial legislation of Ws
party friends, that he publicly declares
he would rather lose the bonds he holds
than have these great interests further
crushed ! What a commentary on Rad
ical legislation! We have seen nothing
else that gave us such a startling view of
the wretched condition to which Radi
cal misrule has reduced the manufactur
ing and industrial interests of the coun
try, as this speech of Senator Spragde's.
THE correspondence between President
Johnson and General Grant, on the con
duct of the latter in surrendering the
War Office to Stanton, was sent to the
House on Tuesday. Grant denies that
he promised to hold the office until the
President could appoint another, whilst
the President inalsta that he (Grant) did
so promise, and offers to prove it by the
other members of the Cabinet: The oor
respondence cannot but damage Grant in
the estimation of fair-minded people.
His true character is likely to become
known long before the next Presidential
election,
A LTIIO/70.11 the "late lamented" Lin
coln appointed five of the eight Supreme
Court Judges now on the bench, the
Radical Congress declares that it - will
not acquiesce in their decision touching
the Congressional military despotism
bill, unless six of the eight Judges con
col in tbe'deelsion. They are not wil
ling to trust even . Mr. Lincoln's court
with the decision of the muter. By
force and fraud they are determined to
cram the thing down the throats of the
people.
THE
,PhiladelphaStmday Transcript,
an original Grant paper, in speaking of
Gen. Grant, says that he has "forfeited
all claim to respect as a gentleman, or
confidence as a sojdier," and that "he
has suffered his lust for office to override
his manhood," and furthermore says. •.:a
candidate who commences his career in
deceit will not fail to find shame, if
nothing worse, in the end."
COMMODQRE yvißEßfin.z., of Now
York, withdraws from the Cooper In

Grant. The reason asal,gned by the Gam.
modore is Grant's action In the Stanton
affair, and abundantly good reason It

bills were passed during Watt' period by
the House. The Senate is a little ahead.
Your Damage Dill is yet in the hands of
the committee. It seems to take agood
nap.
I see your Senator presented a bill in
the Senate last night, changing the time
for holding Courts• in Adams county. I
did not see the bill, but will embrace the
earliest opportunity to do so and ac
quaint you with its contents.
One of the members from York county
introduced a hill, on Friday, entitled
"an act, a supplemeutto the act incorpo
rating a company to make an artificial
road from the west end of the borough
of York to the borough of Gettysburg.'
This relates to your turnpike road from
Gettysburg to York. The bill has reve
al provisions—one to change its corporate
none—another to legalize; their former
elections for offteers—and art — other to au
thorize the company to collect toll for ev•
ery foot a person may travel on the road,
no matter whether he goes through a
gate or not. This latter clause seems to
me to be very ohjectional to your far
mers along the road. They would have
to pay for every foot they might travel
beyond the lines of their farms. The
clause legalizing elections of officers
seeing to have become necessary to the
company from the fact that] the same
men who own the road from York to
Gettysburg now own the road from
York to Wrightsville, and that their re
spective charters require them to hold
the elections on a certain day, and that
they come on the same day--hence one
of the elections must necessarily be
held on a different day from what the
Charter requires, and therefore illegal.
Some days ago a bill was referred to
the General - Judiciary Committee to re
peal the act of last sinter, compelling
rdilioads to admit negroes into any of
their cars, ladies' cars included. By the
majority rule, as adopted at the emu
inenclment of the session, and in the
absence ,of some of the Republicans in
the committee, the Democrats reported
the bill to the House for action as com
mitted. This would have compelled
the negroites to face the music, but by a
strict party vote, the bill, on motion of a
Republican, was re-committed to the
same conimittee. Now, in all- probabili

sold to a Lancaster county farmer, a colt
three months old, for US cash:
Prrsid , ne.—W. W. Kurtz, Esq., son
of A. B. Kurtz, formerly of this place,
has been chosen President of the North
American Life and Accident Insurance
Company, Philadelphia.
Wild Cate Shot.—Mr. Ephraim San-
derv, of Hatniltonban township, in Sep
tember last, shot a Wild Cat, which
measured four feet three inches, and on
the 27th ult., shot another, which mea
sured four feet two inches. As these
"varmints" are scarce, Ephraim's luck
may be pronounced good.
Ground-hog .Day.—Sunday last, the 2d
of February, was Ground-hog Day—
when, if the animal came out and saw
its shadow, it went back again, for an
other nap during six weeks of cold
weather. As the day was bright, "look
out," almanac fashion, for forty-two
rough days. The "sign" brings this'
consolation, however: whilst tt "pee
-
diets" cold weather, it also promisee a
year of good crops; and especially of
fruit. So that the Ground-hog's "shad
ow" may, after all, prove a rather good
thing.
Sudden Death.—We ]earl' that Mr.
Daniel Ratrenaperger Alled very sudden
ly, at his residence, in East Berlin,
Adams county; on thelat. inst. On the
morning mentioned,/ r. R. got up as
usual, went to the barn to feed his stock,
and returned to Ids house, and while in
the act of sitting down on a chair, he
was observed by some of the family to
fall to the floor. Modica] aid was imme
diately procured, but to no avall—the
spark of life had Bed. lila death is sup
posed- to have rebutted fmm a stroke of
apoplexy. The deceased was t 7 years 11

will have the bell elevated, with a view
to remedying the defect. The clock is
undubtedly a good one, and cannot but
prove a great convenience to the people
