ishing Female Seminary. Prof. Koi.be, the
principal, is a ripe scholar, and admirably
qualified for the position. Persona having
daughters to educate cannot do better than to
send them to the Tuscarora Female Seminary.
The Fair. —Wo urge our readers to pre
pare their articles fur the Fair. The premi
um list is larger than over before, and the re
csipts must bo increased, or they may not
meet the expenses. We should all take pride
m making the Fair as grand an affair as pos
*iblo ; -and the way to do this is for every
man, woman and child to come themselves
and bring a dog, cat or calf with thorn. We
want to have a big thing of it, and we must
have the help of our country friends to do
this. Get your articles in readiness, then,
friends, and bo on the ground early and ro
-main all the time. Our citizens will do all
in their power to render your stay pleasant,
for without you the Fair will be a failure.—
The Committee on Premiums made a great
mistake in not offering a good premium on
tho best looking baby , for this would have
brought all the mothers to town, each one of
whom thinks her own baby the prettiest, and
tho mothers would have brought tho fathers,
and thus wo would have had a crowd, and—
our baby would have gat tho premium. No
doubt about that.
Silter Spring Awakb I—The Democrats of

* IP NEGRO-SUFFRAGE IS NOT AN ISSUE IN
PENNSYLVANIA, WE SHOULD LIRE TO

So says Horace Greely, editor of the Ncvr
York Tribune. There ia one thing about
Ohkelt that we admire, and that is his sin
cerity, . Fanatic as ho ia, ho is no dissembler.
Sink or swim, ho advocates boldly the meas
ures tlmt ho is favorable to. As leader of
tho Abolition party ho cracks his whip over
the heads of the more timid of his followers,
and bids them fall into line, or if they arc
too cowardly to do so, ho commands them to
get out of the way altogether. Ho wa.its no
half-way mon, and will have hobHo i»*
captain of tho Abolition-disunion host, and
demands implicit obedience, ' |
A few days ago tho IVtbrmc contained an
editorial (from Mr. Greely’s own pen,) on
the subject of Pennsylvania politics. He is
much disgusted with tho position occupied by
tho Republicans of this State, and does not
hesitate to denounce their timidity in at*
tempting to shirk the negro-suffrage issue.—
That little sniggering, sniffling, bought-up
traitor, John Cessna, Chairman of tho negro
equality State Committee, is reminded by
Greely that ho must toe tho mark, and come
out openly for r.egro-suffrage, and make this
Mequestion before the people. Greely savs—
“ If negro suff rage is not an issue in Penn
sylvania, tec should like to know what isP So
say we. If negro-suffrage and negro-equality
ia not tho issue, what else are our opponents
contending for ? ,_For the last four years they
have labored foi the overthrow of slavery.—
To accomplish this object they bent all their
energies. They succeeded —they abolished
slavery, and also abolished a million of while
men, who sleep in bloody graves. The abo
lition of slavery broke up tho Republican
party—it was thei r whole stock in trade.—
Why then do they still publish papers ? Why
tien do they attempt to keep up an organi
zation against tho people if they have noth
ing to contend for? Greely tells them that
they have something to work for, and he tells
them also what that something is— U is nc
gro-sitjfragc I Many of the Jacobins of this
State, little humbug Cessna among the num
ber, are attempting to shirk the question.— q
They would keen the people in the dark, pull
wool over their eyes, and gain a victory for
! their negro-suffrage candidates by deception
and fraud. The people, however, understand
these lenders in the Jacobin ranks, and they,
with Greely, repeat the question, “ if negro
suffrage is not an issue in Pennsylvania, we
should like to what is ?”
Negro-suffrage, then, is tho issue. llart
ranft and Campbell, are pledged to carry
out, if elected, this negro-equality idea. Da
vis and Linton arc opposed to it. a 0 )1. Da
vis, in his letter accepting the nomination fur
Auditor General, speaks out like an honest
man, as ho is, when ho snya—“ I am opposed
to granting tho elective franchise to negroes;
tuis ia tho white man’s government, and
white men must govern it.” Col. Linton
endorses these words of his colleague, and thus
the issue is made up. Jons Cessna, the lit
tle traitor, may attempt to hide the issue, but
his low cunning will not avail him, and he
had better take Greely’s advice and avow
tho object he.and the rotten, infamous, steal
ing party lie represents bayc in view and at
heart.
" 9i
—Previous"to“'Mp7 ’Lincoln's first elccfumT’
there were nut one hundred men in all Penn
sylvania who emild be got to avow themselves
Abolitionists. How was it immediately after
tho election? Every mother's son of them
changed front, espoused the Now England
Abolition cause, and openly avowed them
selves Abolitioniots. They found that Lin
culn himself was an Abolitionist, and that
he had tho spoils to dispense.' Their conduct
now is a similar deception. About one-half
of them arc attempting to keep quiet on tho
subject of negro-suffrage, and would, if they
could, hide this issue; but should they elect
their State ticket, they will then come out
openly and claim a victory for tho negro
equality principle. As we have remarked,
however, tho people understand these despe
-1 rate demagogues, and od’NEXT TUESDAY
! they will speak out in a voice of thunder
against tho men and the objects of tho Jaco
hiu-shoddy-coppcr-thicves party. Mark it!
THE HERALD AGAINST THE PRESIDENT,
The Carlisle Herald has at last come out
boldly against President Johnson and bis
plan for the immediate restoration of the
Union. It sides with that old mischief-ma
ker and bad man, Tiiad. Stevens, and pro
mises to publish the treasonable speech which
he delivered recently at Lancaster against tho
President. The Herald had no room fur
President Johnson’s speech to the Southern
delegates, in which he explained his policy
fully and gave his views at considerable
length. But it has room for Stevens' reply
to tho President. This shows the bigotry ai.d
unfairness of that paper, and is evidence of
its deep hostility to the President.
A few months ago the Herald was ol opin
ion that opposition to the President was trea
son to the Government. It denounced as
“traitors” those who found fault with Presi
dent Lincoln’s unconstitutional and revolu
tionary acts. We therefore feel justified in
branding the Herald a traitor; it is opposing
President Johnson, and, according to its own
teaching, is guilty of treason. “Down with
the traitors and up with the flag,” say we.
The Weather. —The nights and mornings
are getting decidedly cool, and give us a lit
tie idea of October weather. Autumn has

«< LOYAL THIEVES. 1
Tin Era of Robbery and Ctimo.
A Now York colcmporary of Republican
proclivities declares that it never know a
time when there was shell lawlessness every
where, nnd adds ;
“ Sooietv seems to bo resolving itself into
its original element, and every man is be
coming a law unto himself. Murders, riots,
outbreaks, drunkednoss, rapes, garutings rob
aeries, thefts, rowdyism, et.e., are of daily oc
currence. A spirit of hate and vengeance
seems to pervade the land. The teachings
of the liist four years have educated a gener
ation of cut throats. Pulpits and piracy are
synonymous terms',-and there is not even -an
intermediate stage between diapers and dos
peradoism. It is estimated that during the
last four or five years the Government has
lost by defalcations, robberies, and breaches
of trust, ovei one thousand million of dollars 1
This is frightful, and as disgraceful as fright
ful.”
Ono thousand million of dollars ! A snug
sum of money, this—quite a large pile. But
largo ns is the amount mentioned, the New
York editor might have added several hun
dred thousand millions more, and been near
er the mark of truth. What a confession is
this? By their own showing, the Jacobin-
Republicans have stolen from the Govern
ment, in four years, one thousand millions of
dollars ! And it is to make up these defal
cations that the people are taxed and stamped
to death. Let honest men think of these
things as they pay over to the Oovernmant
(tax collector their hard earnings. Lot them
ponder over these startling facta when the
U. S. Assessor interrogates them as to the
dumber of chickens nnd eggs, - and lambs nnd
pigs they sold during the year. Aye, let the
people think, and they will be convinced that
nearly if not quite half the amount they are
compelled to pay in the way of U. S. laxes,
ia to make good the defalcations of a set of
scoundrels who live in high-priced houses,
every brick of which is moistened with wid
ows tears and stained with white men’s
Uood!
Ami those nrc the men whose wide throats
have been made sore from their incessant
yelping about “ Icyilty” nn.l “ copperheads,”
for the lust four veins. It was Senator ll.vu:
(Republican,) who nrst named them ttic
“loyal thieves,” and it was a most suitable
appellation, for a greater set of robbers and
villains never went unhung. They were in
tensely “ loyal.” however, and their depreda
tions uo<m the Treasury were winked at if
nut directly encouraged by those high in pow
er. Let the people, wo repeat, think of these
things, and then vote.
A, IHESTAXD GLATZ.
In our last \vc mentioned, briefly, that the
Democratic Senatorial Conferecaroprecenting
this District bad presented Gen. A. 11. Gi.atz
of York, as the Democratic nominee for State
Senator. Col. Chestnut, after 308 ballots,
yielded in favor of York county, and the
nomination of Gon. Glatz was made unatii-
mous,
Wo have all along; contended that Com
berland county was entitled to the candidate
and wo had hoped that our just claims 1
would not ho overlooked by the conferee^, —
But, after all, principles are everything and
men nothing in the present struggle, and we
rejoice that the long contest for Senator has
and good feeling prevails.
Gen. Gi.atz is a gentleman of high charac
ter, and will make a very intelligent and use
ful Senator, He lias already served the peo
ple ot York five years in the Legislature—
three in the Senate, and two in the House,
and during all this time ho has retained the
full confidence and respect of his constitu
ents. As a Democrat, no man can show a
better record than Gen. Glatz; and his char
acter for integrity ia nnimpcached and unim
peachable. Ho is, indeed; admirably quali
fied for the important position of Senator, and
it will give us pleasure to assist to give him
aeVen or eight hundred majority in this coun
cy. Full into line, Demociats, and give a long
pull, n strong pull, and a pull altogether for
the ticket, tko whole ticket, and nothing but
. the ticket.
ESy" The Herald Ima n way peculiar to
self of m -.k ng a point--but no one can see
the point but its editor. In our paper of two
weeks since we stated what every one knows
to bo trnc, viz—that tho Lincoln adminia-
trillion was the must proscriptive wo have
ever lnui in this country, and tlmt no man,
civilian or military, could expect sountonance
or employment “ who did not first swear al
legiance to the Black-Abolition-faith.*' The
Herald replies to those allegations, and in
doing so proves them (rue. It reminds us
that Generals M’Clellan and Fit/. John
Porter were Democrats, and in the “ employ
of the Government.'” So they were, but
were thev not both ousted because they re
fused to bow down to the black god put up
before them?' The removal ol these two dis
tinguished officers was little else than trea
son, and neartyevery officer in the army will
aly so. They were removed because of their
politics, and for nothing else. The Herald
pays also that such Democrats ns Butler,
Slocuv. Logan and others, were in the army
—“ in Government employ.” Oh, yes, and
they, poor,devils, - turned their political coats
to be retained in the high military positions
that they ditgraced. Just what we said in
our former article. But. the Herald makes
another str'king point. It reminds, us that
Colonels Davis and Linton, our State candi
dates, wer & permitted by Mr, Lincoln to re
main in the army at big salaries 1 Well, |
rvell—that teas magnanimous, certainly.— !
Col. Davis Oamo out of the war, after fight
ing at the front for nearly four years, minus
bis good right hand. Col. Linton- returned
fmme, with two ribs less than when he loft.
But both got “bigsalaries” and Mr." Lincoln
permitted these two “ copperheads” to remain
in the army, and enjoy themselves fighting
rebels I "Was there over such nn argument
made in behalf of an administration ? Why,
it is the most ridiculous nonsense we over
heard. What we said concerning the mean
proscription of the administration, was true,
and the Herald admits everything wo said.
Wo have nothing more to add.
BlT*'Why don't the Carlisle Herald and
others of the negro-suffrage class of shoddy
organa publish President Johnson's speech
to the Southern delegates? Say, why don't
A HERMAPHRODITE PARTY.
Tho Milwaukee (Wieoomiu) Sentinel, a Re
publican shoot, observes:
'■ The Union party should bo honest and
manly enough not to dodge every question ot
any political significance before the ooun ry,
but should take one side or the other of these
questions, so that its position maybe mr
oughly understood. If it favors a tan o
negro-suffrage, let it say so without prevart
cation. If it opposes a tariff and negro suf
frngo, lot it say so without equivocation, bet
it be a bird ora boast, and not hover between
tho two, like tho contemptible bat in the ta
ble. If there is anything that ought to bo
buried under the weight of public condemna
tion, it is a hermaphrodite party and norma
phroditc politicians*--- -—~ ------ - -
When the organs of the A'bolitionizod Re
publican party talk in that manner, what as
surance can the honest working masses have
that there is any fixed policy or settled
principles within the self styled “ Union par
ty ?” In one State that party has a platform
before tho people which is totally ignored in
file State just adjoining. 'ln another State it
has a platform differing from both the others.
.Vnd so the party of “ grand moral ideas
?nos —pandering everywhere to, local preju
dices. but never definitely fixing upon any
sure lino of policy or cast of principles. Will
. the people trust a lot of politieans who have
tssumed to themselves the name of Union,
but are united in nothing, except to bo in a
light for the spoils of office? Irust them
not. Men who are not “ honest and manly
enough”'to come before tho people and de
clare"their sentiments and the true issues of
the times, should be suspected, shunned and
ostracised by the people everywhere.
First Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry.
History of the First Regiment Pennsylvß
niu Oavulry, from its organization, August,
18(3), to September, 1804; with a list ol
names of all officers and enlisted men who
have ever belonged to the regiment. Phil
adelphia; King & Baird. _
We have read the a'jovo neat little work ol
210 pages with much interest. The suffieien
cy of tliis record is vouched by the fact that
it comes from the pen of our talented young
friend and folluw-citizen, Wu. P- Lloyd, E'q.,
of Lower Alleu township, who was adjutant
of the regiment. It was recruited under the
provisions uf the law authorizing the Gover-
nor to recruit fifteen regiments, in various
parts of tho State, and assembled in July,
1801, at Camp Curtin. The defeat at Bull
Run caused tho incomplete regiment to he
sent to Washington, under Captain Hastings,
U. S. A., as Colonel. Lieutonat Geo. D. Bay
ard succeeded to tho colonelcy in September,
when the organization was completed, and
Captain Higgens chosen Lieutenant Colonel,
I’ho horses were excellent; tho material uf
tho regiment choice. It wintered at Pier
punt in 1861, having had a skirmish at Druins-
ville in November. Winter quarters wore
broken up in March, 1862, and the regiment
advanced to Manassas, having a skirmish on
the way. It then participated in McDowell’s
advance, in Pope’s advance and retreat, in
Cedar Mountain and Bull Run ; camped near
Washington ; accompanied tho advance in
October, 1862, shared in Fredericksburg— I
| when General Bayard was killed —and went
1 into winter quarters at 801 l Plain Landing,
lafthe close of'December.
Tho regiment left its winter quarters in
April, 1863, ftnd did picket duty for some
time._-It £u.ught_ftt JBoyorly
Station ; from Aldic’s to Ashby’s Gap. June
20, 21 and 22, and then took part in the fight
at Gettysburg; returned to Virginia and
fought at Shopherdstown ; crossed the She-
nandoah and fought at Culpepper, at Auburn
and New Hope Church ; then it was at Rich
mond Heights, Cold Harbor, Barker’s Mills,
Trovillian Station, White House, Malvern
Hill, Lee’a Mill? and Ream's Station, Aug.
25,1864. It shared in 28 battles and 30skir
mishes, and travelled 4339 miles in three
years. It had three colonels, five lieutenant
colonels and eight majors. Eleven of its of
iicers were killed and thirteen wounded
while the men suffered heavily in killed and
wounded, and by deaths from disease.
The history of the regiment gives a con
nected and clear account of its doings up to
the hour when it was mustered out, followed
by a record of the battles and skirmishes in
vvhit ; h it was engaged ; a record of its march
es and scouts, and a catalogue of the commis
sioned, staff and line officers, and of the pri
vates, with a short account of the several
companies. The record contains the trans
fers, discharges, deaths and promotions which
took place. It will be seen that the history
is precisely what such an one should be
concise, definite and clear. After such-a re
ference, it is almost needless to say that this
history will remain another green leaf in to"
chaplet which our State troops have won for
themselves, and be cherished with regard'
through coming years. We feel a new pride
in our gallant State when wo road a narra
tive of connected and unbroken gallantry
through such a period and amid such trials.
The compiler has done his work well, and the
volume deserves to bo placed in-itll the libra
ries of the State.
OCT 5 * By a little notice of six or eight lines
in the last Herald , wo are informe 1 that Dr
Stewart, of Shippensburg, hua been nomi
nated for the Senate by the Republican Cm
feioes. How is this ? .Both York and Cum
berland had instructed for Col. Ege. Why
.ras ho discarded? lie did not decline, >vo
learn. What men then took it upon them
selves to cast him aside, to make room for
another ‘‘homo guard?" Really, this is
using the Colonel rather shabbily, and wo
sympathize with him. It is another evidence,
however, that the Republicans care very lit
tle for soldiers except to use them as tools for
unprincipled politicians.
Renegade Ddmocrats. —lt is a remarka
ble fact that the most virulent tyrants of the
present day—Stanton, Holt and Butler—are
renegade Democrats. Thus has it always
been. Benedict Arnold, after his treason,
led the British troops and tories against his
natiyc town in Connecticut, and burned the
houses over the women and children.
There are some few papers in the country
which arc edited and published entirely by
black men—veritable niggers.— Herald.
Judging them by the sentiments of their
columns, unsuspecting people might be led
to believe that all Republican pap era were
eiited by “ veritable .niggers."

Facts for White Vo-
ters.
No Republican newspaper in this State, so
far as wo have seen, Ims declared aßainot ne
gro suffrage. Most of the journals of that
party, have expressed themselves m favor o
The Republicans in their county conven
tions and meetings, have not resolved agams
making the negro the political equal of the
white man. Some of them have resolved,
openly, in favor of it. and others indirectly
The Republican State Convention, did not
utter a word against giving the right of suff
rage to the ndfero; but did say a word indi
redly favoring that doctrine.
No prominent Republican politician in tins
State, lias avowed himself opposed to putting
the negro upon the same platform with the
white man. Stevens, Kelley, and others of
them nro'known to bo in favor of it. The
Republicans in out last legislature, voted to
compel the Street Railroad Companies of
Philadelphia, to carry negroes in the oar
with while men and women !
Now, on (ho other hand, the Democratic
Newspapers, the Democratic County Conven
tions and meetings, the Democratic State
Convention, and the Democratic members of
the Legislature are put squarely, unmista
kably against the Republican plan for equal
izing the megro with the white.
Theae are FACTS.
What Beecher Says
Beecher's Independent says:—“ Two men
of color sat in the State Republican Conven
tion at Worcester last week,” and hopes that
New York will hurry up and “ got ahead of
Massachusetts by putting Frederick Douglas
on her State ticket, on his way to a scat of
Congress that he shall yet occupy.” So goes
Abolitionism. First the freedom only of the
slave was desired; then the right of suffrage;
now the right to a sent in Congress ; and
next the occupancy of the White House will
le demanded. At first the Abolitionists
were few and weak, and their demands wen
moderate ; but, since the Republican party
lias joined with them, their demands have
become more exorbitant, 'the Republicans
granted them what they first asked, and, if
that partyshall ho continued in power, they
will eventually he compelled to “ go the whole
hog.” Shall wo have a mosaic Congress and
a black President?

A Negbo Juror.— At the opening of the
September term of the Brooklyn City Court
yesterday, Mr. Robert Johnson, a colored
man, was called and empaneled as a juror.—
Ho served on one case and appeared to act
quite intelligently. The fact of the presence
if a colored man in a jury box, however, was
the cause of considerable remark.
Negroes in schools, upon the same benches
with whites: negro jurors, negro voters, no

Cabinet oflioers, negro Presidents ; in short,
absolute negro-equality with the white, is the
' aim of tho radical Republican party.
