We have the satisfaction of tuanoun-. sing Ist our readert that we have at length got comfortably fixed in our new office, specially hunt at a heavy expense for our accommodation. We now claim to have a Printing office unsurpassed by any in the State, in firdematic arrangement, and capacity for general work. With a large Campbell Power Press, two &st rata Hand Presses, and a full and com plete asestment of Job Type of all kinds, we are prepared to execute Job Wbrk of all descriptions, from large Posters to the smallest Cards, including Addresses, Pamphlets, &c., as neatly and cheaply as the same class of work can be done in any once in the State. Our friends, as they some to town are invited to give us a call. Quir heavily. increased circulation—be- lug largely in excess of that ever reached by any newspaper in the county, and exceeded by •few papers in the State— makes our advertising column a desira ble and almost indispensable medium for Business men, Executors, Administra tors, and others who desire to reach the public in connection with sales of Real Estate and business generally. The STAR AND SINTINEL is read weekly by not less than term thousand persons in Adams and adjoining counties. As ad vertising pays the advertiser just In pro portion to the number of persons reached, business men will at once see the impor- tance of availing themselves of our ad vertising columns. • The Improvements and ine.eased ta eilities thus introduced in our office have necessarily devolved on us a heavy out lay of money. We have cheerfully in curred this largecxpenditure in our de sire to furnish a first-class family journal, and meet the wants of this community. Nor shall we spate additional expense In the future fully to meet every reasonable demand upon the office. We acknowl edge our indebtedness to those friends who have manifested their appreciation , of our efforts by prompt pre-payment of their subscriptions, and shall be glad to twelve a similar recognition from 'our subscribers generally. Quite a number of new names have been added to our list during the last two months. effort on the part of each subscriber wo largely increase eth subserip • t, e able us to improve thie paper, promote the circulation of soutid Republi principles.

We will not argue this point. We never believed in the right of a State to nullify a law of Congress, or to secede from the Union. We do not now. But Judge SHABSWOOD is on record, in his own words, in favor of both thasepropo sitions ! No man can deny that. On the other ian' ,read what AlinnEw JACRB6N sitid on it z point.

THE CONTRADICTED EXPRESSLY BY THE WIT TER OF THE CONSTITITTION, UNAUTHORIZED BY ITS SPIRIT, INCONSISTENT WITH EVERY PRINCI -PLE IN WHICH IT WAS FOUNDED, AND DXSTRIIO TIPS OF TTY GREAT OBJECT FOR WELDOR IT WAS FORMED." SHAMWOOD'S eentimeut is the essence of Disunion, and Anarchy ; JACKSON'S, of Union, frnd Order. Let the people judge. BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, an avowed sympathizer with the Rebellion, who re presented the Fifth Distribt of Maryland in the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth 'Congresses, has recently written a letter on general politics, which contains some statements of value. He was elected $ Democrat in the fall of 1863, 'And was one of seventy Demo cratic members of the House. He thus commenis on the action and views of his Democratic colleagues : "While in their hearth .they did not wish the success of the North in their nefarious and urtjustifiable war uperi the South, they yet discovered wonderful_ policy in pretend ing to wish it. They shrieked for the Union made the strongest war speeches, while they whispered to the knowing ones of their party that deception was the surest means of getting power, and when power was obtained, then—they would do the expedient?' We put this statement on record, as boldly made by a living man, a member of the last Democratic National Conven tion, and a conspicuous member of the Democracy of Maryland, who is among those named for the next nomination for Governor. He convicts of the grossest hypocrisy and dishonesty, his Democratic colleagues in Congress ; and squarely charges them with not wishing to see the South con quered, with pretending .to be for the War and the •Union, and yet admitting that they were engard in a stupendous conspiracy to deceive the people--prom ising secretly that, when they got in • power, they would act in harmony with .their real feelings. The People could not be induced to trust the men who had betrayed them but a few years before; and these shame less gamester never got power. As +a result, the South was conquered ; Slave ry was killed and buried ; the dignity and rights of the Union were asserted and vindicated; and HARRIS whines over his calamities, and tells how faith less and truthless were the Democratic Representatives in the Thirty-Eighth Congress. • Tam party ' of re-action in the South are straining every nerve to thwart the COngressional plan, and thus indefinitely postpone Reconstruction. Of this party, BENJAMIN H. HILL, of Georgia; .a lately pardoned Rebel Senator, BENJAMIN F. PERRY of South Carolina, and ROBERT Towels of Georgia, are great lights. That our people may understand the argumen l sed, we quote the following paragrap from the last letter of Govern or Per . : `,'Let us remain as we are, under a tempo raiy military government, and waitor a re action at the North. The Oonservative party North are as much opposed to the Oppressions and tyranny which have been imposed on the Southern States as . we are =selves. They are daily pinink strength, and will be soon in a majority, and then our deliverance will come." Whoever therefore votes with the "Conservative," or Democratic Party (for they are the same),-will cast a vote against Reconstruction,and will strength en the hands of the leading Rebels of the South who hear in the adoption of the Congresslonalplan, their death-knell. IV-is complained, that the present mil itary govermient of the South is expen sive. PERRY ad his friends wish it in definitely continued till a "Nortitorn re action" wa* which cannot possibly be for several years, if at all. Vote as you 'feet THE great ignorance which is a marked characteristic of the Seuthern States, is illustrated by the fact that of 631 white voters in the mesa intelligent county of Arkansas, It 4, or more than one-fourth can not write. The cause of this is, no Slave State has ever had e system of .Common Schools. The poor had no opportunities of educa tion. The ruling class were able to edu cate their children at prIG - e schools, or by private teachers, and were unwilling to be taxed for a genera l Jstem of schools. And all this disre 'of duty, and denial of facilities for education to the pocir of. the State, were done in the name of Democracy ! • We are glad ;to see that, in every South ern State, the I ftepublicans have pledged themselves to, AI system of Common Schools. An edneatfd youth are the glory and the 'strength of a State. Let the South make haste to wipe out the stain of shame.

Opinion in the case of ItesviriE vs, SAI LOR (published in the Legal Intelligeneer of May 6, 1864), he went further, and de nied the right of Congress to issue Treas ury Notes; much less make them a "le gal tender" in the payment of debts.— His lapguege is : "I am of opinion that Congress had no Constitutional power to invest the Secretary of the Tretumuy with authority to issue bills of credit intended to circulate as money— much less to make them a lawful tender." The Philadelphia Age of 28d February, 1864, publishing the Opinion in Bolus us. Tim.; highly eulogizes the Judge, saying : . "Judge iIIIABSWOOD reasons upon and de cides the ci4te as If he were Some lofty spirit sitting far shove and out of the contentions and strifes pf the world." Will not the holders of greenbacks and GoVernpient bonds consider the judge as quite too elevated and ethereal for such earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme Bench ? A Qu*rrioN has been raised as to the power of President JoHNsoN to remove Secretary STANTON. This is clearly set tled in the following paragraph from the Chicago; Tribune : "The law provides 'That the Secretaries of Sate, of the Treas ury, of War, of the Navy, and of the Inte rior, the Postmaster General, and the Attor ney General, shall hold their offices respect ively for and during the term of the Presi dent by whom they may have been ap pointed,' or for one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate.' "Any Opinion :Mr. Senator SHERMAN may have expressed during the debate on the bill, has no bearing as against the language of the law itself. Messrs. SEWARD, WELLES and STANTON were appointed by Mr. LINCOLN, whose 'term' commenced March 4, 1865, and will end March 3, 1869. Mr. Jolts sox himself is merely serving out the unex pired portion of the term of Mr. LINCOLN.— The law fixes that term, as the term of the Cabinet officers ; and the President, by law, is prohibited from the removal of either one, unless by .and with the advice and consent of the Senate. That disposes of the question of the power of removal." Two years ago. the Democratic pa pers were loudly in favor of prompt Re construction, in the interest of peace, of industry, and prosperity. Congress is about to restore these States on a loyal basis; and the active efforts of the Dem ocratic politicians, North and South, are now exerted to vote down Conventions in the disloyal States, and thus prevent the taking of the first and indispensable step, vik : making a State Constitution. The reason is, the Southern States are pretty sure to come back Free, Republic an States ! This was not in the pro gramme. Hence, the change of policy. The Republicans have always been in favor of loyal and early Reconstruction. They broke down the PB.ESIDENT'S plan because it restored the rebel leaders to power, and put down the Union men of the South. They have substituted a plan of their own, which reverses this posi tion. They will carry it out, notwith standing all obstacles; and the country will yet find peace in the complete ac ceptance of the Congressional plan. Ix XentllCky, it is considered adisbon or to have been in the Union army ; while it is such a merit to have been in the Rebel army, that two of its Colonels were considered worthy of election the other day, to important State oftbses by the Secession Democracy. And it is such a victory the Democratic newspapers of the North are now rejoicing over. In confirmation of our statement respecting public sentiment in that State, we ask attention to this paragraph: The Paris .True Kentuckian of June Bth, contained a significant card from Dr. W. J. Teutarr; of Centreville, Ky., who - said: "As I am informed through reliable sources that it is reported in this community that I was with the Federal army during the war, I wish to pin the lie to it by making a public denial through your paper ; for I was not associated with that army in any capacity during the war, and defy any one to prove the contrary. I am only anxious to deny the reports because I know that they were promulgated by some maliciously diapoied person or persons, with a view of ptejudicing the public against me." Evidently, Kentucky needs "recoil itructhig" very badly. It is very natu ral t4t in a community so devoted to the "lost cause," the Republietm party should be in a minority. land"— of a Reform bill in Eng ,householder, which every and most o the renters have become voters' deserveif to be marked as an event of great significance. It will work a revo lution in the politics of that Nation, and ultimately in the Government of it. It is the first great fruit in Europe, of our conquest of the Rebellion. Thus, a saved and regenerated America is to be come the power for regenerating Europe and opening an Era which will be con spicuairi for its amelioration of the po litical condition of mankind. Every day, it becomes plainer that the Rebellion was a giOantic crime against human Lib erty everywhere; and that its authors and abettonf were the enemies of all man kind.

BRIGHT, then of Indi ana, was expelled from the U. S. Senate in the spring of 1862 for having given "ald and comfort" to the enemy. He has since removed to Kentucky, and, at the late election, was chosen to the State Senate by the Democracy of Carroll and Trimble counties. He made a speech in Carrollton, on the 3d of August, of which a synopsis is as follows : "He started off by saying he-had always been a States Rights Democrat. He de nounced Mr. LINCOLN,- DOUGLAS and ANDY Jormsox in the most bitter terms ; said that the Democratic Senators from the South did wrong in vacating their seats at the beginning of the war; said. Mr. LINCOLN had no power . under the Constitution to call out any troops; was opposed to paying , the public debt; that Kentucky ought not to pay another dollar un til her Representatives were admitted, and that if the , South ever regained her rights it would be by the sword; and said if that was treason, the Government might make the most of it; was in favor of returning every slave to his original master ; was in favor of a law in Kentucky that every one who lost, anything in Kentucky during the war, or by the war, should be paid, and that the General Government should refund it to Kentucky; *as in favor of Gen. W. 0. Brnix (who was present) for the next President ; said that the national laws were notto conflict with the State laws, but were only auxiliary to them." The first and the last remarks prove that he and Sfraitswoon are in full polit ical sympathy. The views expressed in the body of the speech, are undoubtedly Kentucky and Maryland Democracy.— Let the people beware lest by nurturing such men they encourage such opinions i and make another war necessary to com plete the work of the last. Tip.; Berks county Republicans have "given no uncertain sound." At their recent county meeting they resolved that "it is absolutely and indispensably ne cessary for the Republican party to main tain a majority in Congress, and to elect a President and Vice President, whose past life, whose public record, whose open and public declarations in support of radical Republican principles aid mea sure*, and whose sobriety, political and moral honesty, can be trusted in and re lied upon as a guaranty against subse quent desertion of friends, spostacy to principle, and treason to country A* humanity, to succeed the present 'acci dental incumbent." The Republican Party owes it to itself and its principles to elect, as the next President, a DISTINCTIVE REPUBLICAN, one who has a nucortp, who has been TRIED and has proved FAITHFUL, and upon whom the voters can RELY as true to their convictions and purposes. The Party cannot afford to run the risk of another betrayal. And it dare not outrage the - confidence of the coun try as in 1864, when it threw overboard a tried and true man,' and nominated ANDREW JoitxsoN who never even called himself a Republican ! The his tory of that act of shame need not now be written; but the result of it should remain a monument of folly, and a warning against the recurrence of like injustice and Impollcy. THE Berko county Democrats recently resolved "that this Union is composed of separate, equal, sovereign States, and that no right, or shadow of right exists, under the Constitution. - for Congress to hold sovereign States as subjugated prov inces under military rule," 4i.c. This is the language of Secession, whatever be the meaning they give to it. This claim of Sovereignty in the States; if true, justifies Secessiqn, and proves the .Rebellion to have been the exercise of a rightful power by dissatisfied States.— We suppose, this is what the Berko coun ty Democrats meant to say. Their hearts and hopes were always with the Rebels, and are now. Had the Rebel armies whipped the Union armies, the Rebel States would have been an independent power, by vir tue of the verdict of force. As the Union armies defeated the Rebel, the Rebel States are not an independent power, but are subject to the will of the conquering power, which is the Congress of the Union—and this, by virtue of the same verdict of force to which both pia -ties appealed for the settlement of the conflicting claims. Nothing can be plainer than this ; but l3erks county Democrats are wholly un able to see it. Their love of Slavery, their sympathy With the Rebellion, and their hatred of progress in the direction of Enlightenment and Liberty, blind their eyes, and pervert their judgment. THE Harrisburg Telegraph makes a sharp point on Hon. Wilmer& A. WAL LACE, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee.' It states that he prOcured a negro to go into the army as his substi tute ; and it argues that it is indecent in him to abuse the race, one member of which had the courage to stand between him and the bullets of a common enemy. The Telegraph thinks if Mr. WALLACE considetod a colored man good enough to be hie military substitute hr war, he ought to consider him good enough to be his political equal in peace.

Tax Mayor of Mobile, and Judge H. W. Thomas, of Alexandria, have been held to bail, to answer the charge of violating the Civil Rights bill. TIIE two citizens of Columbia, S. C., who recently assaulted two Northern men who were attending the Republican State Conven tion, ,were convicted before a Court-martial, and have been sent to Fort Slacon for six months' imprisonment. GENERAL SHERIDAN has removed Judge EDWARD DOrOEERIt, of Texas., for denying the supremacy of the laws of Congress, open ly denouncing the Government of the United States, and stating that he would not obey the laws of Congress when they conflicted with thelaws of Texas. PRESIDENT Joussos has directed General GRANT to issue an order, putting General THOMAS in SitsumAN's place; General HAN COCK in General THOMAS'S, and Gen. SHER IDAN in Gen. •HANCoCK'S. 'Meanwhile Gen. SHERIDAN has issued an order directing the election of members of a State Convention on the 27th and 28th of this month, in Louisiana. Is Rutland, Georgia, the colored people— men, women, and children—were holding a prayer meeting in a bush arbor on Sunday night of week before last, and the congrega tion had scarcely risen from their knees when they were fired into by a party of seven—or rather some seven shots were fired—which wounded fourteen or fifteen mea'and women, some of them severely. This is a type of the character of outrages occurring all over the South Is Charleston, Gen. SICKLES has issued an order in relation to certain monies advanced by South Carolina Banks during the war for the perchase of horses tor the Confederate service, but which not being expended. had been distributed since the war under a chan cery decree, among the banks and other claim ants.

TOE necessity for the laWs protecting the freedmen was never more strongly-illustrated than in the case of the brothers Wrrnaow, near Lebanon, Ky. A colored girl, aged 16, for a trivial offense, of which she was not guilty. was dragged out into the woods, tied up by the neck to a limb, and whipped un mercifully with green with. Fortunately. these barbarians have been arrested and bound over in $.lOOO bail, to answer at the District Court. Had they been brought before Ken tucky magistrates. it is probable that very trivial, if any bail would be required. These vindictive assaults are very common in Ken tucky—no less than sixteen arrests for the same offense having been , made within the last two weeks. Saystim. weeks ago, we published an ac count of the murder of a Mr. STAUFFER, of Natchitoches. Louisiana, by thee brothers na med .L.”tv:A—crne a judge, one a physician, and the third a planter. The murder was com mitted for political purposes. The planter Jones fled tc Texts, where he now is, but the other two brethets - were, with some difficulty, arrested, and the jail at Natchitoches being insecure, were taken to New Orleans and-im prisoned in the military jail. Last week Dr. Jones died in the prison, and on Saturday night Judge Jones, who had been attacked with cholera while in the jail, was removed to the house of a relative, but died before morning. The military authorities in Texas have been directed to, keep a bright look-out for the third assassin, and if he is.caught the murdered man will be tolerably well averted. P. S.—lle has since been caught. GEN. POPE has addressed an important let &tic? pen. GRANT, enclosing a speech made by Hon. B. H. Hill, late a Senator in the Confederate Congress, recently pardoned by the PRESIDENT and who represents a large class. Gen. Pora says this speech shows the hopelessness ot any satisfaztory reconstruc tion while such men retain influence. Gen. Pora thinks they should be silenced,and says it is better that the battle should be fought now. Congress did well by disfranchising the lead en, but Gen. Pora thinks it would have been batter to have banished them, and he is oppo sed to relieving the disfranchised classes of their disabilities. He says it is his duty to state that, in his judgment, the condition of affairs in the Southern States, even should re construction be satisfactorily accomplished, will, of necessity,be a reproduction in a more or less modified degree of what now exists in Tennessee, unless some measures are adopted to free the country of the turbulent and dis loyal leaders of the reactionary party. Whilst these persons remain in the country to exer cise the baleful influence they undoubtedly possess, there can be no peace. $ THE cholera is spreading in Italy.
