eljt 6lobt. HUNTINGDON, PA. Wednesday morning, Oct 2, 1867. WM. LEWIS, 1 EDITORS HUGH LINDSAY, all the State elections held this fall the Republican party has lost strength, and it is fair to suppose that in the elections yet to be hold that party must continue to suffor. U^" The majority of voters in the State aro opposed to the Democratic party, but they aro not willing to be used any longer to aid the radicals and corrupt politicians of the Republi can party in a continuance of the po litical strife and dishonesty that has existed during the past three years. air If the Republican party should be defeated on next Tuesday—what then Why the loaders of the party would' coMo to the conclusion that the honest mon who have followed them are no longer to be humbugged, and a change of programme from radicalism andeitravagance to Unionism and economy will be Made, that defeat in the future may be avoided. kier Our experience has led us to the belief that there can be no stand still'in parties.. Their majorities must either increase or lessen. When a par ty meets with the favor of the people its majorities will increase; but when it does not they will decrease. A fall ing off in votes cannot be explained away - by pleading the intervention of any "side issues;" it . aan be taken as nothing more nor less than that the conduct of the party, does not meet with the favor of the people. Wo hav,e only to look at the recent elections in California - and Maine to corroborate this view. These elections were the beginning lof the reaction, and the States-which follow will continue the echo. The people are tired of tho Bad icals;and tho coming elections, we pre dict, will show their weariness and dis gust. Erp STATE FAm.—We visited the State Fair at Pittsburgh on Wednes day.and Thursday last and found the exhibition very good in some depart ments. The stock cattle were very fine. The horses, fine wool sheep and Cheite'r hogs were good. Agricultural implements and machinery generally were very numerous. The fancy dis plays were magnificent. The poultry exhibition Was a failure—we have seen a better in any of our county fairs.— The fruit display was fine, but in veg etables there wail a failure. The crowd of people in attendariee on Thursday was the greatest'We ever saw on any occasion, and all present will agree that a shower of rain sufficient to have settled the dust would have been very acceptable. We have no doubt the Fair paid expenses, leaving a good bal ance in the Treasury. Thad. Stevens' Prediction. Some months ago Thad. Stevens, in a letter to a friend of his, wrote as fol lows : "I fear that we shall lose Pennsyl vania this next election. I do not think we have Earnestness enough in the State to unite and draw out the Re publican Strength, while the .Republi can portion of our legislature has been so openly, notoriously and shamefully cor rupt, that all the honest people in the State are disheartened and disgusted." If Thad. had also added, that the fanatical and revolutionary measures of the leaders of his party in and out of Congress would also aid- in the detent of his party ho would have given more good reasons why he feired defeat in this State. His public admission that Congress has been working outside of the Constitution has also aided in redu cing the strength of the Republican party, not only in this, but in every State in the Union. When the elee. tion s is over, and the Radical party de feated, as we believe it will be, tho Re publican masses will see more clearly the mistake they made by following in the footsteps of such dangerous men as, Stevens, Phillips & Co. A close con test, or a (dean defeat on Tuesday next, will; do more towards reforming the Re publican party than all the protests the - honest masses of the party can offer. The leaders of the party must receive a check before a peaceable Union with all the States can be estab lished, or economy and prosperity ex pected to prevail. -ser-We have received copies of late Southern papers. The tone of all of them is for peace: They advise their readers to abandon politics and to pay more attention to the business inter ests of that Section. The people of the South are following this advice. And we think from the signs of the times, that there is a growing sentiment in the North, in the same direction. We aro happy to see it. Show us a man who loves to talk about his party at all times, and wo will show you a political triekstor, a fool or a buffoon. A man who follows his party,when it is wrong, and ho knows it to be wrong, is a poor miserable creature at best. No one can respect birn for sacrificing bis rea son, and his manhood, on the contemp tible altar of his party. He is either a tool in the hands of others, or else he votes against his judgment in the hope of political reward. The New Orleans Picayune says that the present cotton crop in the 'South will not reach 2,000,000 bales. The Election. The election in this State takes plaoo on Tuesday next, and we intend to be candid in giving an honest opinigh. We have boon a voter for thirty-two years—have taken an active part in politics for nearly the same length of time—have voted and' acted with the Whig, Democratic, and Union parties and now find ourself outside of all par ty organizations—froo to speak for ourself and for what we believe to be the beat interests of our distracted country. Tho election on Tuesday next will result, as we honestly believe, in the defeat of the Radical party—not that a majority of the people have any more confidence in the Democratic or ganization than they had during the war—not that they desire to endorse the principles of the Democratic party —not that they have changed their opinions from what they wore during the war—not that they. endorse the stand taken by President Johnson— not that they.gant,to see the Rebels again occupy publie'places in our gov ernment--;not that they are opposed to seeing treason punished, Or that they want rebels to rule—but because they have patiently tried the Radical rule 'for three - years "and find the country in a worse condition to-day than it was when the war closed. Millions are daily being added to our National debt—taxes must daily increase—and the industry of the Whole country must continue to suffer. Politics and politiciani in high places rule the busi ness of the country and the people with an iron rod, while thieves plunder the treasury of the hard earnings of thetax payers. A patient trial has convinced an honest people that no relief can be expected so long as radical and corrupt mon are sustained, and in hopes of be ing distinctly understood, thousands of independent voters will on Tuesday next, if they vote at all, vote against the Radical party. If we wish to live in Union, wo must act like Union men. If we wish our country prosperous, its enemies in all parties must be punish ed. If we wish our taxes reduced, we must give the party in power to under stand that we will not support extrav agance or corruption. A defeat of the Republican party on Tuesday next will not be a Democratic victory—it will be a victory of the voters opposed to Radicalism and in favor of reform and a Union. There never can be peace in this country under Radical rule. um. Perhaps the large majority of our patrons may not like the plainness of our editorial articles this week.— As an independent journalist, hav ing the prosperity and happiness of the people of a whole Union at heart, wo cannot refrain from speaking plain ly what we believe to be the truth.— Our readers know wo have no love for the Democratic party. We battled against it during the war, and although the Union party, of which we wore an earnest member, was destroyed by the radical influence in the Republican party, wo have not deserted its plat form and feel confident we never shall. The Republican party would receive our support to-day, if it was the same party battling for the same principles the Union party battled for during the war. Tho candid reader—the man who has watched the progress of parties, has seen the Union party destroyed I and with it the true Union principles of the country—and its place is now occupied by the Republican party, a party marshalled and controlled by bad men—by men who have no more respect for the Constitution of our country than Jeff Davis had—by men who, if the Republican party continue to follow, will destroy it, as effectually as they aid the Union party. Already the Republican party is losing strength in every State among white men, and popular public opinion will soon prefer the Democratic party as a choice of evils. If the opposition to the Dem ocratic party wish to continuo in the majority, the radical leaders with their radical notions must be repudia ted, and a faithful support given to genuine Union'principles. Wo have a desire for the success of a Union party at all elections, and . we hope the de feat of the Republicans in this and oth er States will open thd'oyes of 'all loy al mon to the importance of at once reorganizing without the membership, assistance or dictation of the crazy, fanatical disunion radicals and their corrupt. followerS. If we are over to be blessed with peace and prosperity again, Jeff Davis and his friends, and Wendell Phillips, Thad Stevens & Co , and their friends, will have to be kept on the background, to be remembered but not to he honored. la-The traps which are sot by the politicians to catch Gen. Grant are nu merous. Tho latest we hoar is that in which Sheridan is made to express the views of Grant upon radicalism. Wo consider it a more campaign sensa tion. Grant will do well to keep his mouth shut; for lot him open it but once and a train of difficulties will fol low which he little expected. * Gon, Grant is watched closer by the politi cians than any other American on the Continent. The reason is that the pol tic:ions fear he will spoil their pro- gramme. After the elections are over the people will bear less of the Gener als the politicians arc now using. Cotton is being raised with saccese the Sandwich Islands. David Paul Brown for Sharswood, The groat criminal lawyer, David Paul Brown, E s sq., of Philadelphia, has just published a pamphlet in,which ho advocates the election ,of Judge Shars• wood. Mr. Brown is a most promi nent Republican, but goes for Stint's wood as the best man that could be named for Judge of the Supreme Court. In'the course of his pamphlet ho says : "The fact of Judge Williams being but forty-six years old, may be the ground of a presumption that he, by due efforts, may live to be an eminent Judge, but we are to rely rather upon facts than fancy. We have in Judge Sharewood, the assurance of qualities that in the case of Judge Williams, at the best, we have only the promise of. Which, then, let me ask, would be the more reason able choice ? It takes twenty years to make a lawyer, and even then he has something to learn. A good Judge would require nearly all that time on the score of mere legal coin petentcy, and ho should necessarily improve during that time,in his aptitude for business,in his self-con trol,in his temper and dcmeanor,for ' all these things enter into the formation of his judicial character. Now, can it be supposed that with the few years that Judge Williams has occupied the bench at Pittsburgh, having comparatively limited jurisdiction, that he could have derived those advantages in the I formation of a Judge, which were necessarily acquired and fully exhibited on the pert of his antagonist during more than twenty years? In conclusion, allow me to say that for the reasons suggested, I shall vote for Judge Sharswood. In doing so Ido not feel that I should compromise my principles as a thor ough national Republican—in acting 'other wise, I should carry with me the conscious ness of doing injustice to a Ineritorious man, of inflicting a causeless and cureless wound upon the purity, permanency and integrity of the Judiciary. 31y torus of life is short, but the lessons of this day may last—in their pernicious and corrupt influence—unto the latest posterity. Lot the people, then, think of this, do what they believe to be Right, and stand firmly by their moral as well as their political faith. _ _ DAVID PAUL BROWN." Mr. Brown is not tho only prominent Re publican in Pailadelphia who will vote for Shorewood as the best man. The majority in the city for Shorewood is expected to reach not less than five thousand. The most objectionable plank in the plat form upon which Judge Williams, tho Radi cal candidate stands is the following resolu tion adopted by the nominating convention : "Resolved, That warned by past misfor• tunes, we ask that the Supremo Court of tho State be placed in harmony with the political opinions of a majority of the people." As often as tits political majority in the State may change, the political opinions of a Judge must change—that he may be a mere political Judge to give an opinion to suit the notions of the political party in power. Wo hope no seals tools of a political party will ever be elevated to a seat upon the Supreme Bench. AEU' Tennessee is a "reconstructed" State after the fashion of Radicalism, All elections held there must be held at the point of bayonets. Wo want no such reconstruction in Pennsylvania and yet wo may have such reconstrue. tion in a very few months, if the radi. cads are encouraged by the voters at the next election. )3et-The Republicans are very mush afraid they will not get out their full vote this year, and without it they ex pect defeat. What else can any party expect whose leaders act so corruptly, set aside the Constitution and override the people's will? [Front tho I'ittoburg Commercial, Sept. 20 J Mr, Johnston--He Goes to the Peni tentiary. Wm. Johnston, familiary known as "old Billy Johnston," well known to the residents of Hollidaysburg and Al toona, was yesterday convoyed to the Western Penitentiary, by Gen. Row ley, United States Marshal, to which place he was sentenced by Judge Me 'landless for the period of seven years, having been convicted of dealing in counterfeit money. The trial was ono of the most exciting ever witnessed here, and was conducted with great, ability on both sides. The defense al leged that, the accused was the victim of a most wicked conspiracy, and that his conviction was accomplished by per jury. 1-b proved an excellent reputa tion for honesty, covering a period of over forty years, but the testimony against him was of such a positive character, that the jury felt constrain ed to believe it—the inference being that his good character was only a cloak that he might the more readily deceive the honest and suspecting. The case was, in some respects, an extraor dinary one, but wo have not the slight est disposition to take exceptions to the verdict, as the defendant had a fairand impartial trial. Johnston is a man of considerable means—not wealthy, but in good circumstances. He has a fam ily, and is very respectably connected. He is now in the winter of life, having attained the age of sixty-five, and to a man in his position a term of seven, years in the penitentiary is only sug gestive of misery and death. In view of his situation, and upon the possibil ity that ho might never get out of pris on alive, time was allowed him to set tle up his affairs as though ho were preparing for death. Ho seemed to feel very keenly the hardship of his situation, and as ho left the car in front of the prison, and walked up the pleas ant avenue, so delightfully shaded and embellished with shrubs and flowers, he wept like a child. The big tears coursed down his aged cheeks, and his whole frame was convulsed with an guish. It was a sad sight indeed. We need scarcely add that an effort is already making to procure the par don of the old man. He has influen tial gentlemen enlisted in his behalf, and they will do all in their power to secure executive clemency at an early day. —Last week a hotel keeper in Lancas ter "smelled a mice" in this wise: Two countrymen took lodgings at his place, and fared sumptuously, drinking throe bottles of wino daily. The last day, and before they had settled their bill, a dispute arose about the speed of their horses. They at last settled upon a race, and appointed the landlord judge. When they wore ready the judge, like those of the Olympian games, gay() the word--one, two, three, and go. Away they went, and have neither boon seen nor heard of since. No doubt they are running at this moment (a bill in some other place) leaving this landlord fully compensated by having had the honor of being judge. [From tho Now York Iferalll, (Republican.) The Approaching Political Campaign North and West, Our Cincinnati and Cleveland cor respondence, published on Thursday; our correspondence from Pennsylva nia, published a few days ago, as well as that which we are receiving daily from other parts of the North and WesE, all show that a great and wide spread reactionjhas commenced against the dominant radical party The peo• ple, who gave the Republicans their votes and support, during the war and since, did so fin• quite a different object from that which tho party is now pur suing. That was placed iu power, first, to prosecute the war for the Union to a successful issue, and, second, to har monize and restore the country, as it promised to do, upon the basis of the Constitutional amendment. When it went beyond this and cre ated a military despotism over the South ; when it attempted to subvert the Constitution, or rather to ignore it altogether, its leaders boldly declar ing the country in a state of revolu tion, and when its object to establish negro supremacy and a negro balance of power became apparent, the people saw they had been cheated. Had the members of the present Congress, when candidates, gone before the peo ple 'with such a: revolutionary pro gramme, they would have been de feated. They have played a confi dence game upon the public, and act ing as the masters rather than the ser vants of the people, have defied the sentiment of the country. This infa• mous conduct has produced its fruit. The public mind is becoming enlight ened, and a general reaction has set in. The radical press, though evidently much alarmed, attempts to explain away the true cause of the Republi can losses in Maine and California; but that is a hopeless task. Every one knows the cause is general ; that local issues have had little to do with it, and that it lies in the dissatisfaction of people generally with the negro su premacy policy of the radicals. It is found, in fast, in the common sense and patriotism of the mass of the peo ple revolting against the faithlessness and destructive measures of Congress. But our correspondence shows beyond doubt that an extraordinary reaction is going on in all the great Central States and in the West. The general issue as regards negro suffrage and ne gro supremacy is the same every where—the same in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and the other States, and the same as entered into the elec tions in California and Maine. In those latter States, however, the contest was : tame compared with what it will be, from all appearances, in the elections to come off during the next two months. There is another important question looming up pro minently in the canvass, particularly in Ohio and other parts of the West, and that is the financial queStion. This threatens to prove as disastrous to the radicals as their nig,gerworshipping policy. The Chase radical' policy for perpetuating a moneyed oligarchy and despotism is viewed with as much dis favor in the West, among all parties as negro supremacy. The mass of the Republicans, as well as the Democrats, are bitterly Opposed to the national bank monopoly, to contraction of the currency, to the bondholders being exempt from taxation; and to all the other measures of Chase, McCulloch, and their friends in favor of a money ed oligarchy. The industrious classes —the farmers, laborers, mechanies,and tradesmen—sco ruin staring them in the face• if this wretched financial sys tem be perpetuated. They see that an enormous debt will be fastened up on them, their labor taxed beyond for bearance, their means of paying their taxes and debts greatly reduced, and the prospect of universal bankruptcy; and all to fluor the national bank monopoly, the bondholders and capi talists. Looking at the rapid growth of public opinion in opposition to the radical financial policy, there is reason to believe the party will be defeated in the West on this issue alone. The whole tenor of our correspondence in dicates such a result. But the main question occupying the public mind at present, is that of negro suffrage and a negro balance of power in the republic. The prospect of the South being governed by the ignorant and uncivilized nrgroes, of those benighted blacks . holding th e . balance of political power in the re public, of taking their seats in Con gress, ar.d of dominating over the peo ple of our own superior race, with the . degradation and ruin that must follow, these aro the thoughts so repulsive to the mass of the Northern people. It is this fearful prospect, brought before us by radical rule, that has created a revulsion in the public mind, and that will surely overwhelm the party that has brought the country to such a de• plorable condition. ' Thu great react ionary movement of the day is not one in favor of the - Demecratio party, and least of all in Tavor'of the Copperhead faction. The question at issues are new; old party dogmas and platforms have become obsolete. The masses of the people which have voted on both sides are now coining together as the groat constitutional party. They are disgusted with the disorganizing and revolutionary conduct of the radicals, and with the infamous attempt to if ricanize the republic by creating a ne• gro balance of power. That is the real state of things• and if we mistake not the signs of the times; the radicals will be defeated in the great Contrail States, as well as in the West, at the coming elections. The moderato and conservative Republicans shotild throw off their destructive leaders and unite with others to form the great constitu tional party of the future. Hen. Sherman made a speech to the Indians in the council on the North Platte last week Ho told them the Pacific Railroad must be built, and that they could not be permitted to in terfere with it. A proposition was sub mitted for the Indians•to accept homes on the new reservations, and they were given until the let of November to an swer at the council to be hold at the North Platte. Oakes Ames, of North Easton, Mas sachusetts, has contracted to build nearly the whole of the remaining por tion of the Union Pacific Railroad— some six hundred miles, passing through the Rocky Mountain region— receiving therefor over forty-seven mil lions of dollars. (From tiro N. Y. Evening Exprema The Constitution of the United States. This instrument was done in con vention, and signed by George Wash ington, President of that body, on the 17th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1787. Tuesday was the 80th anniversary of that great transaction. That Constitution constituted not a confederation of several States, not a league between States, but a govern ment for the whole people of the Uni ted States, made by the people. It reads, "We the people do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Uni ted States of America," It ordained a government of limited powers ; the exercise of the powers granted through a period of eighty years has made us what we are—a nation second to no ether in the world in power, en terprise, and intelligence. Are not the people of the United States hound, by every consideration of duty and patri otism, to cherish the COnstitution; and defend it against all violations ? Has it been violated ? There can be no more dangerous violations of the Con stitution, than when the agents of the people in any department of the Gov ernment exercise powers not granted to them—this constitutes usurpation. We endeavored to show on Thursday last that the Congress of ttio, United States—the legislative department— had been guilty of usurpation. The argument to prove this averment is very brief; it has not been answered, and it shall be kept before the public until it receives an answer. Congress has no powers except those, granted in the-Constitution—the powers vested in that body, says the Constitution;are those herein granted: It follows, there fore, that the exercise by that body of powers not granted, is usurpation. What is the admitted state of facts? The loading member of the House of Representatives says:—"Some of the members of the Senate seemed to doubt their powers under the Consti tution, which they had just repudiated, and wholly outside of which all agreed that wo were acting, else our whole work of reconstruction was usurpa tion." The editor of the New York Times, in that paper of Tuesday, says —"So much of the strong effort of the last six years—military and civil— has been done outside of the letter of tho Constitution, that it is vain labor to appeal to any absolute constitution al guide, however earnestly moderate and conservative men may desire to make such an appeal." We aro here plainly told that it is in vain to appeal to any constitutional guide. Indeed ! has it come to this ? Have we no Government with defined powers 7 May Congress do what it pleases without any reference to the fundamental law I Can this be so ? We do not believe it, and we shall appeal to a constitutional guide over and over again, until we are heard, and the pnblio come to the rescue of their own Constitution. Lot us see how this doctrine of a repudiated Constitution will work—what will ho its practical operation upon the business of the country. If the Constitution can be repudiated by imposing military gov ernments upon the people of the States lately in rebellion, its charm will be dispelled—the reverence of the people for this funndamental law will be lost, and it will be loss difficult to violate it in other requirements. For instance, the Constitution strongly maintains the sacredness of contracts. Now it is well known, and comes to be sorely felt, that the Government has incurred an enormous public debt. Good faith, national honor, require that this debt should be paid. Tho morality which pervades every line of the Constitu tion requires the same thing. All can see that the time is not far distant when the payment of this debt will be come very inconvenient for the people. Can anybody doubt that a repudiating party will arise, when just such dema gogues as MOW rule in Congresti will seek to sweep away all the obliga tions of justice and honor, now em balmed in the Constitution 1 If it is in vain now that moderato and consider ate men appeal to the Constitution, what will it be then, after the people have•been taught not only to repudi ate, but to despise this instrument 7 Let us, fellow-citizens, cling to the Constitution—the people have boon taught through a long series of years to love and venerate it. Nothing can be more dangerous -than to impair this popular respect and veneration. MARRIAGE OF A. 1111E000 GIRL TO AN 1n0t..----The following curious account of the marriage of' a Hindoo girl 'to an 'idol is giCen by the Oude Gazette : "Some time ago a paper of the northwestern provinces announced the arrival of an old Deccan Brahmirn with his family in the town of Muthra, where Rungaoharee the high priest of the Ramanoojoe sect, greatly patroniz ed , The old Brahmim has two daughters, one a grown-up girl, and the other only nine years old. While residing at -Muthra 'the, younger girl gave out that Kriehnajee (one of the incarnations of Vishnu, the Hindoo god:. appeared to her in a dream, ar.d proposed a nuptual alliance with her. Next day the girl was, with great pomp, married to an idol worshipped in a Hindoo temple., The ignorant and, superstitious people rejoiced at this absurd marriage, and began to vene rate .the girl as an inspired being. Both the girls have learned by heart eighteen thousand couplets of the 'Bhagwut,' a work in the Sanscrit lan guage. They have now arrived in this city, and put np at a house in the vicinity of the 'Gole Dur: waza ' Every morning undoes of all ages and sexes congregate there to hear the melodious recitations of the two girls. Both the girls consider themselves as dedicated to the service of the god Krishna; and after their daily recitations are concluded they make no hesitation in accepting such presents of money and sweetmeats as their hearers may choose to give them. We have little doubt that they have already reaped a rich harvest from their deluded votaries." The Now York Independent calls Fred. Douglass "the greatest black man in the nation," and adds: "Mr. Douglass resides at Rochester, in a Re publican district, which we hope to see him representing in Congress."
