WE are rather gratified that our cotem
poraries find so much of our editorial use
ful to them ; and, it would not offend us
If some of them would conform to the
custom of occasionally giving credit for
!what may be appropriated by them.
Tut Adams County Democrats are
against the Congressional plan of recon
struction, because it is unconstitutional.
They were in favor. of Az.lnnEw Jonx!;-
soNis plan, because it was Constitutional,
although he had no more right to enact
t law, or create a plan the the humblest
citizen ; and all his proceedings were, by
general confession, without any warrant
In the Constitution. Their justification
rested solely upon the War power. Since
that, the only law-making power which
exists, has regularly enacted a law 'pre
scribing the terms and mode of recon
struction, and Democrats can't support
it because of its unconatitutionalitg.
Could folly further go ?
HENRY A. ANISE sap; they are anxious
to get into the South whites froth New
England and the Middle States, and Eu
rope. ' If he means to encourage, immi
gration to the South, he should exit settle
the problem of Reconstruction in them,
restore them to the Union; and, secure
civil administration. Next, when they
get a civil administration, they should
discourage. the tarring and feathering,
shooting, burning, and other popular
modes largely in use all over the South
Tor getting rid of obnoxious inhabitants.
IT must not be supposed that Judge
SHARSWOOD did an un-Democratic thing
when he pronounced "greenbacks" to be
an unconstitutional currency. This was
the ground taken .by- all the Democrats
in Congress, when the bill passed; and
they. voted against it, to a man. SEARS
WOOD merely carried out the feelings and
views of the Calhoun party when he
wrote those famous Opinions which are
so greatly, troubling the leaders, and so
justly alarming the pOlCe.
Ali the "peace-sneaks" of the War,
are - , whining over our military govern
ment of the rebel States. These con
temptible people would colisent neither
to our puttingdown the reibllion, nor to
our guarding against the recurrence of
another. They would have been de:
lighted if ,the Rebellion had succeeded,
and the liatioricut in twain. All else is
galling to their tender semdbililles.
THE, Democrats affect to be very much
against Negro Suffrage. They never
hesitated years ago to vote as many ne
groes as they could get ; and they will
vote all they can get, if they have another
opportunity. In their view, all voting
that is Democratic , is right, "without re.
gerd to race or colbr."
THE Pittsburg Republic calla SHABS•
WOOD'S speech in 1834 in defenceof the
right of Nullification, a "youthful ndise
cretion." We suppose it considers 10
Opinion of 1864 denying the polar of
the Government to issue paper money;
or make it a legal tender, a "mature in
discretion."
Tux Adams County Democrats have
resolved that "this is a Whtte man's
government." But they were so much
in favor of having colored men help save
it, that in the summer of 1864 they sent ,
at least - one Democratic agent to the
Southern States to recruit negro.* and
have them credited to the County 1

. In Maryland the new "Democratic"
Constitution is to wipe out their Free
School system. In the Southern States
generally,"there has never been a system,
of education provided by the State, be
cause it has been deemed unfavorable to
the ,health of the Democratic party to
have the people *trained to think for
themselves, and enabled to investigate
P3i themselves. All know the struggle
we had in Pennsylvania to overcome this
„preludice, and from the same class, and
for the same reasons. The feeling still
est*, and recently manifested itself in
Indiana, where MILLIGAN, the Sons of
Liberty martyr, and Hon. JoRN B. COI
FROTH, Democratic candidate for Attor
ney General last year, made speeches re -
centlyi in which. they violently assailed
the Free Schiibl 'system as pernicious.—
The report states
said thasnwe -year& ago he was
the only man in 'Mntington Township who
cast a vote against,the free school system, and
he was proud of that vote. The books in
vogue in the common schools are averse to
Democracy, and are filled with infidelity, and
no parent who is a Democrat could trust his
children in a free school. They would, from
the very nature of the lessons therein taught,
become infused with the dogmas of puritan
ism, and doctrines of religion inconsistent
with the belief and teachings of their natural
protectors.
..tdr. Coffroth announced himself
as one of the pillars of the Old School Pres
byterian Church, but he opposed free schools,
and said he would shrink from them as he
would from a viper's den."
The meeting was not sectarian, but was
Democratic. Every parent who wishes
to give his son the blessings of an educa
tion, should "make a note" of these facts.
They indicate the existence of an un
friendly feeling - which may, some_ day,
take shape and seek the 'destruction of
our entire Educational system.
AT LOW PRIC
THE atrocious attacks made by the
Democratic press upon Generals SHERI
DAN and SICKLES, reveal clearly the vin
dictive spirit of their authors. SHERI
DAN was among, the most brilliant and
successful Generals of the War, and wax
the only one who cleared, and kept clear,
the Shenandoah Valley, and made us of
the Border secure against Rebel raids,
invasions, and plunderings. SICR.LES
came to Gettysburg with his Corps,
fought like a true man, and left a leg on
;the field of battle. To throw out of the
account the respect always due to a man
who has suffered for his country, grati
tude for services rendered, should seal the
lips of these shameless clamorers.
From the spirit in which the same pa
pers refer to Lee, Beauregard, and
Semmes, we cannot doubt that, if oppor
tunity offered, they would gladly excuse
all their errors, cover all their faults, and
even utter words of sycophantic adula
tion. The, circumstance will not be lost,
if it be accepted as an illustration, of the
base and malignant hostility which ran
kles in the hearts of the Democratic
leaders, towards those who crushed their
Rebel friends and brought them under
e rightful domination of a preserved
Nation.
IF the Republicans of Philadelphia
appreciated properly the exacting, arbi
trary and merciless policy of the Demo
cratic party where it is a confirmed ma
jority—as in York, or. Montgomery, or
Berks—they would hesitate long before
they would agree to re-el need
Democrat to their Bench ey sup
pose he will shii his partisan character
because of a re-election without regard
to party, they must be wonderfully igno
rant of the spirit of the .organizEition to
which he belongs, or the City wing must
- differ essentially from that of the Coun
try.
With positions reversed, the Democ
racy would seize all the places available ;
and itliour judgment that these are not
the times for fighting fire with flax. Be
sides it is well to remember, as Col. JOR
DAX has strikingly said, the Courts are
the "last ditch" of the Rebellion.
J),Eraiscnenc papers insist that Judge
W 11,1,74303 ought not to be elected to the
Supreme Bench, because. he was born in
Connecticut.
We never understood until the' other
day why so absurd a reason was so pas
sionately urged. But it is all plain now.
The Democracy have taken. this means
to deal' a side blow at Judge STRONG
of the Supreme Bench, also a native of
Connecticut, for having dared to pursue
an independent and patriotic course du
ring the War. "His casting vote affirmed
the Constitutionality of the Conscription
act, and the "Legal Tender" act. Of
course, after that, the contempt and ha
tred of the Democracy knew no bounds.
They are now hitting at him wildly, over
the shoulders of Judge WILLIAMS. All
this will tend to draw to ),both these gen
tlemen,. the sympathy and respect of the
People. I •
Ex-Gov. WISE of Virginia has &my
ered that we ail owe a "natural allegiance
to our country." As he once renounced
his allegiance, and.went into rebellion
he must be an unnatural son. He has
also diedevered that "any oath to support
the Constitution," Or any "oath of regis
tration was a violation of the Constitu
tion." Probably the reason why he has
prejudices against the; former oath is be
cause he took it several times and then
_broke it ; and against thi latter, because
he cannot take it. He is certainly in a
bad way , ; but he. is a full-grown men,
and he, put hiximelf where l he is by, his
own act. He will know better, and we
hope do bettg, when neat invited to
lift his arm against the flag of the Union.

THE plea that "this is a white mail's
governments" is intended to cover a de
mand for the enfranchisement of the
Rebels of the SOuth s and the disfranchise
ment of the loyal negroes ofthe South.
As for the enfranchisement of the guil
ty leaders of the rebellion, the time may
come when they may be safely trusted
with the elective franchise ; but • that
will be after the restoration of those
States to theplaces from which they were
thrown by rebellion. The 'time is not
yet.
As for the 'disfranchisement of loyal
colored citizens who stood by the Union,
who served it, who were in its armies,
and who deserve well of the couutry, we
hope the creel purpose of the Democracy
may never be accomplished. These men
are citizens of the United States, and of
their States. They are part of the pro
ductive force of the country. They are
an important and 'valuable class. They
are taxed for the support of the govern
ment of - the States and Nation. And
if it be true, as Democrats are so fond
of asserting, that "taxation and rep
resentation go hand in hand," upon what
principle ottjustice can this class be ex-.
eluded from the right to have a voice in
the selection of rulers? ' •
Once, thiS right was undisputed. Sla
very required that it be abandoned ; and
it was, in large part. The destruction of
slavery has made all these persons citi
zens, and' their exclusion from the polls
would be dangerous, unjust, and in vio
lation of the fundamental maxims ou
which free, republican government rests.
IT was very natural that the Demo
cratic Convention should claim( for Mr.
HELTZELL great credit for the passage of
the Bounty bill through the House, and
should thank him for his "indefatigable
efforts" In connection with it. It all
sounds very well, but the fact is, Mr.
HELTZELL had very little to do with get
ting the bill through. The bill was in
troduced by a Republican, was got out
, of a Republican Committee by a Republi
can, was engineered through the House
by a Republican, and would have been
passed by a Republican Senate but for
an unfortunate delay of a few days at the
close of the session -in the House. Mr.
HELTZELL undoubtedly supported the
bill, and assisted in its passage. But if,
as the representative from this County,
he had been one of the majority of the
House, he would have been more influ
• ntial than he was as one of the minority.
We would not detract from Mr. HELT
ZELL'S merits in this matter; but be
knows as well as we, that it is altogether
a mistake to attribute the passage of the
bill through the House to his influence
and exertions. A Republican Assembly
man, co-operating with the Republican
majority, ought to be elected this fall,
to make sure the re-passage of the bill,
,at the approaching session, aa we can
hardly hope to have, again, some out
side aid which was thrown for the bill at
the last session.
THE Rebel Democracy of Tennessee
made a concerted and vigorous effort to
control the vote of the freedmen at the
recent election. They resorted to every
form of intimidation,threatened to throw
them out of employment, turn them out
of their homes, to force the payment of
debts, &c., but all failed. Upon some,
they tried blandishments—appealed to
them by the old ties between them, offer
ea bribes, &c. These were equally una
vailing. And after finding themselves
thwarted 'and beaten at all points, the
Democracy of Tennessee suddenly got dis
gusted with Universal Suffrage. Had it
worked otherwise, they would have
thought it very fine. Whatever may be
said of its effect on parties, the principle
of Universal Suffrage is as old as this
government, and would have always ex
isted under it, but for the baleful influ
ence exerted by slavery, which was, al
ways, the enemy of all truly Democratic
ideas.
THE Democracy of Adams, in the cri
sis of the war, gave a cowardly cry for
peace, which, if obeyed, would have re
sulted in the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, and the destruction of our
Union. Now, in the crisis of Recon
struction, when the Rebel States are on
the high Way to restoration to their pro
per places in the Union, the same De
mocracy utter a feeble protest against
the congressional policy, it being the on
ly plan which can restore civil govern
ment in the Son th,and bring to the coun
try the blessings of a permanent peace.—
In war, these men wanted peace. In
peace, they want quasi war. In both,
they are short-sighted, and unpatriotic.
THE Democratic newspapers complain
of extravagance of the last legisla
ture, in raising so many committees of
investigation. They forget to tell how
many of those Committees were Demo
cratic inventions, got up by hungry and
corrupt Members of their party, to squeeze
motley out of large and rich corporations,
and "smell around" generally' for purpo
ses of black-mail. The names of Demo
cratic members of some of those commit
tees, are very suggestive . of this ready re
sort of ravenous "roosters."
THE richest joke of the season is the
appeal byl Democratic politicians to elect
a Democratic legislature in order to get
an honest one. Who ever' heard of a
Democratic legislature which was not
bought and sold, at will? Unfortunate
ly, there is too much corruption in legis-
Wares, without regard to party. But to
turn out the 'Republicans and, put in
Democrats to Secure an honest legislature,
is like jumping into the fire in order to
gut out of the frying-pan.
BUT for the obstructions Rut in the way
of the restoration of the Rebel States,they
would all be back in their old places be
fore the first of next April, in time to
take part insthe next Presidential elec
tion. The aim of Prssi4ent Jourzsox
and the party Who support him, is mani
festly to prevent the carrying out of the
'law of the land, in the hope that "some
thing may turn up 4, to help their sink
ing Ortunes.

THE New York AlOgniettitutiotud - Otate
Oonvention has adopted ir provision `d
daring that no corporation, exeept for
municipal purposes, should be treated in
that State t otherwise than under general
laws enacted for the purpose, and that no
Bipedal:charter should hereafter be altered
or =ended. If this provision could be
inserted into every State ConstitutiOn,
a long stride would be taken in thgdirw
tion of honest legislation. Large .corpo
rations, of gigantic capital and resources,
are the sources of most of the corruption
which pollutes legislative bodliti. When
they ask favors, they expect to pay for
them andare "bled" freely. , When they
don't ask favors, they are often sot upon,
and "investigated" by hungry legislators
and lobbyists. To protect themselves,
they generally employ legislative agents,
who handle the money of their employ
&Si and distribute it to purchased law
makers, and are themselves at once a
temptation and a scourge. In this view
we consider the enactment of a free Vail
road law a great moral benefit, as well
us a great political blessing. We trust
that the •next Republican Legislature
will pay proper and emphatic heed to
the demand of the party and country in
favor of this measure.
THAT our friends may be at no loss to
understand the purposes of the Southern
Democracy, we quote the following from
a recent number of the Louisville Jour - -
nal, which has grown to be a violent
Democratic paper :
"Kentuckywears in her diadem no bright
er living jewel than Gen. William Preston,
and she knows it. She deems hini her pride
and a goodly portion of her glory. Gen
eral Preston fought on the side of the Confed
eracy in the war, and no crusader that won
renown in Palestine ever fought more brave
ly, or deported himself with a nobler courte
sy. We wish that he were in a position
where Kentucky in all her exigencies might
have the benefit orhis great services. She
will not willingly permit him to remain
in a private postion."
Whenever the people of this country
desire to fall under the administration of
the officers and men of the Rebel army,
there is a quick way to reach it. Pat
the Democratic party in power. Their
Kentucy organ gibes fair notice of their
purpose in that State.
TIIE Montgomery (Ala.) Mail is dick
ering for the colored vote of that locality,
and to prove worthy of it, asserts that
Slavery was not in the War, and that
the "attempt of the Radical party to
stamp the Confedetate war for Indepen
dence as the `Slaveholders' Rebellion' is
the most colossal lie of the century."—
We refer the Mail to Vice President
STEPHENS' speech in which he declared
Slavery to be the corner-stone of the
Southern Confederacy ! The Mail may
deserve to get for its candidates some of
the colored voters of Alabama; but we
venture to assert that the most ignorant
among them understands the object of
the Rebellion better than lie appears to,
and to predict that they cannot be misled
by any such flaunting falsehood. Fight
ing the facts of history is always a hard
undertaking, and generally unfortunate
for politicians.
TILE Republicans of Adams county are
in favor of legislative reforms, and op
posed to extravagance and corruption.—
And thly have nominated as their Candi
date for Assembly, Dr. GEORGE H. Jon-
DY, a man who, if chosen, will throwldl
his influence and his votes for the pro
tection of the people, and for honest leg
islation. Morever, he will give his votes
for a genuine Free Railroad law, which
is a necessity for the proper development
of the resources of our great Common
wealth.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune, from Winchester, Va., says that
the former home of JAS. M. MAsoN, one
of the Secession Conspirators, is a total
ruin, and that his estate has passed into
the hands of others. He is at present,
in Canada, ready to return to the United
States, whenever the people grow insane
enough to restore his friends to power in
the Government. He and Jeff. Davis
are companions in exile,and expectations.
The Philadelphia Age of 23d February,
1664, publishing the Opinion in BdBIE
va. Titorr, highly eulogizes the Judge,
saying
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the Judge as
quite too elevated and ethereal for such
earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme
Bench 2
In Judge SHARSWOOD'S dissenting
Opinion in the case of MAB.viNE vs. SAI
LOR (published in the Zegal Intelligencer
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 tenderk' in the payment of debts.—
His language is ;
IT is pretty well determined that Pres
ident Johnson recently offered General
Howard's position at the head of the
Freedmen's Bureau to Mr. Langston, a
colored lawyer in Washington. The ap
pointment was declined ; but the Presi
dent, it is announced, in determined on
General Howard's removal.
WHERE is Mr. HELTZELL on the Free
Railroad question ? The County Con
vention was as silent as the Democratic
State Convention, on this great question.
Is Mr. HELTZELL for, or against, a Free
Railroad Law? Who can-tell?
THE Adams county Democrats think
it unconstitutional to govern the South
by military power. This is consistent.--
They thought it unconstitutional to Whip
them, and put them where they could be
ruled by Union armies.
THE resolutions of the Democratic
County Convention endorse SirenswooD ;
pad thereby ratify his Nullification and
Secession record, and his decision against
the legality .c;if "greenbacks."

a gun, he fired without dismounting, bring
ing the bird to the ground. It proved to be
an Eagle, and being only wounded in the
wing, made battle.. Being rather an ugly
customer to capture alive, it was necessary

ACQUITTED.—The last Legislature pass

prosecutions instituted by Ambrose Hair, of
Berwick Borough, against Henry Stevens,
Judge, NO Jacob Harmon, Inspector of elec

the vote of the former on the ground of be
ing a deserter from tho army. The cases
came up last week in Dauphin, when the
prosecutor failed te appear, theidefendanta
were azquitted, and'•the prosecutor,Ambrose

as a crime to be stigmatised and, punished.
Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, in betray

GOOD STORIES.--Messrs. Ticknor and
Fields have issued the initial number of
GOOD STORIES, under which title they pro
pose to publish, in cheap and attractive form
a valuabk collection of Shot lE:k_i)ries, Tales,
and Skettrhes. The need of such a collection . 40 ,
has long been felt; for while numerous col
lections of poetry have been made, no gen
eral repertory of good stories exists. It is
not intended to limit this collection to Eng
lish literature. It will embrace, by compe
tent translations, the best ?ad most char
acteristic short stories of all languages.—
While having in view the idea of making
this collection valuable as a repertory of
choice fiction, the Publishers have in mind
•
the'great need of the travelling public for a
class of reading that shall answer for amuSe
me: tin the rail-car or on the steamboat. 'A
largo volume or a long story often .becomes
wearisome to the traveller on account of the
disadvantages to which he is subjected, while
the type of many volumes renders the read
ing of them impossible to not a few travel
lers. 'ln good Stories all of these difficulties
are overcome. Each number is a small quar
to, appropriately illustrated, and easy to the
hand ; thci stories are 'choice, and demand no
too continuous attention; tho type ix large
and can ho easily read, and the price, Fifty
cents per number, will place good Stories
within the reach of all.
2 will be issued in August. Ad

LETTER FROM THADDEES STEVENS.
Col. Schoch, of Columbia, recently.address
ed a letter of inquiry to Mr. STEYENS, as to
the power of the President to remove District
Commanders in the South. Mr. S. replies as
follows :
LAscAstaa, Pa., August 2C, 18C7
Col. Samuel Sehock, Columbia Pa
• DEAR SIR :—You are right in supposing that
Congress made mistakes, as is the inevitable
lot of man, but you mistake in supposing that
there i is any law to prohibit the removal of
District Commanders without the consent of
the Senate. Soon after the commencement
of tha last session of Congress, I reported a
bill from the Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, which contained a provision pro
hibiting removal without the consent of the
Senate. It passed the House and was sent
to the Senate. The,Senate struck it out, and
returned it to the HOLM, who refused to con
cur in the amendment. The result was a
committe of conference, where an animated
contest ensued. '
There were several other questions in con
troversy between the houses,which the House
offered to yield if this could be granted. They
persistently refused, declaring that they would
sooner lose the bill. As that would frustrate
all our legislation, it could not be allowed.
The House Yielded, with a warning of the
evils it would inflict upon the country. Some
of the members of the Senate seemed to doubt
their power tuider the Constitution, which
they had just repudiated, and outside of which
all agreed that we were acting, else our whole
work of reconstruction *as usurpation ; or
perhaps they had a desire to be thought grave
ly conservative and magnanimous. These
ideas seemed to control the action of some
half a dozen Senatbrs, who preferred trusting
the President.
My dear Colonel, a few Senators of great
ability, undoubted; patrotism and purity, have
become so saturated with what they are pleas
ed to call "conservatism"—(whose meaning I
confess that I am unable to understand)—that
I fear they will for:1.0 the monster that was
slain in 1776 and again in 1861, and will thus
do great damage to the creation of a Govern
ment now. so &spa))le of being converted into
a political paradise. This is liable to happen,
not so much by c t lircct and palpable attack
upon its framework, as by gradnalllforget
ting the vital prineiple of the Declaiation of
Independence.
strike out one of the living sparks which
give life to our GoddesE of Liberty, and the
mysterious and intense heat, whose welding
fires nearly% century ago—and at present are
—fusing principlds of freedom and reducing
despotism to cinddrs—will gradually cool
ill the most conservative despot could thrugt
his sword into it without affecting its tem
per. I have said above that'l did not know
the meaning of the ,word "conservatism." I
have since seen the report of a speech said to
have been made , by an Ohio Senator at Can
ton, Ohio, which, if it be truly reported, and
is to be considered a definition of that doc
trine, then, it to me is very alarming—
worse than copper-headism. It is legislation
without authority, and reconstruction by
usurpation.
I am, very respectfully, your ob't servant
THADDEUS STEVENs .
GRANT AND JOHNSON.
The difficulty between Gen. Gamer and
President JOHNSON continues—the former
being determined that the Congressional poll_
cy of reconstruction shall be enforced, and the
latter being determined to defeat it. Snam..
DAN and Sicarzs have been removed against
.
Gen. Grucrr s earnest protest—Gen. Has
t CK taking the place of the former, and. Gen.
CAlair that of the latter. It was generally
supposed the act of Congress gave to Gen.
Gearr plenary powers in enforcing the acts
and such was the intention. On careful ex
amination of the wprding of the act, however,
it turns out that such is not the case—his
power being simpl' supervisory, and limited
to removals, •
The President, eking advantage of this, in
announcing the appointment of Gena. HAN
coca and CANDY, directs them to assume.and
exercise all the poWers of Department ema
il:lender& As this might lead to the restora
tion of Gov. Watts, Gov. TrntomtatorrroN,
Mayer Mosnos, and other Rebel officials, dis
placed by Si:aim:hilt and Brower, Gen. Ga.k.wr
immediately "flanked" the new movement,
by issuing the following order: •

By command of r :,. • GRANT.
i E. D. TOWNSEND, ;
A.saistant Adjutant General.
The appearance orthis Order produced quite
a fluttering in administration circles. As it is
clearly within thepowers conferred on the
Lieutenant General by the re-construction acts,
it remains to be sees} what the President's nest
step will be.
Jur DAVIL —A Canada letter says :---Not

of the rich Canadituis here, he is not general

prominent mouth, grin which constantly
envelopes his countenance, his 'sunken eyes,

to make the people reverence or respect him.
