mmM: & bABIiI9i' E *. PA., Thnndny Horning, Jan- 3*. 18 ° 7 - A lwtiTwr Fonj>ENN.sri.VANiA , Tuesday, January 15,18G7, was a dark day for Pennsylvania—a day that wi l bo long remembered by honest and well disposed men residing nt the State Cap : ital. On that day the Badiud-disun lonista hold their political carnival. AH classes and conditions of men belonging ' .to “ the party" were there by thousands • from all sections of the State. The'(a ■ contractor, who had made, his mi lion " during the war, was there, looking hap py as a lord, and as “loyal” eyer - 'pi ie “leaders” or, as Forney calls them, the “ earnest and progressive men of the ago," were all there ; the scruff of Philadelphia and Pittsburg-the men who receive their pay and their whis key from the corruption fund of the “Loyal League—were there; pugilists and shoulder-hitters were there; pick pockets were there; and last and least, the political preachers—those prowling cats whoso whiskers are still white with stolen government cream— they were there, too. All were there to partici pate In the buzzard feast that was to ■ come off. It was a gathoringof carriou hirds over the bleeding character of - Pennsylvania. The programme for the grand occasion was .under three heads, ns follows Act first, —Geary, the great burly no body, after riding up and down the principal streets, followed by detach ments of military, a few llremen, and a motly crew of office-seekers, proceeded to tho Capitol, whore he was sworn in as Governor of Pennsylvania. He' de livered an Inaugural Address—to be found on our first page—’which is about the longest and weakest production that was ever delivered on a similar occasion. It is the silly vapor of a silly mind, put into readable shape by Ben Brewster, tho new Attorney-General It is “rad ical” in sentiment, of course, for Hew England demands this much of every man clothed with official power. It is not necessary that we should comment at length on this disgraceful address.— It is the production of John W. Geary, a man with the largest body and small est mind that ever occupied the Execu tive chair of this State. That is all that is necessary to say of it. The “Inaugur ation ceremonies," we learn, cost the State some ten or fifteen thousand dol lars. By reference to the Auditor Gen eral’s Report for 1811, wo see that hon est old Prank Skunk’s Inauguration cost two hundred dollars. Such is the difference between Democratlcand Rad ical ideas of expense. . Act second.—Thu two Houses of the oought-up State Legislature assembled at 2J o’clock, to elect a United States Senator. A vote was taken with the ■following result: Senate—Cameron 19 ; Cowan 10. House—Cameron 02; Cowan 37—81 to 47. The great infamy was consummated, and Simon Cameron, the “great corruptionist,” the man who ac cording to Republican authority, nev er occupied a public position that was not obtained by bribery and the use of money,” (a rather severe reflection on the “martyr,”) was declared elected Senator for six years from the 4th of March next 1 He takes the pi ace of that pure patriot, that man of giant intellect, Edgar Cowan. “Oh what a fall was there, my countrymen 1” That ho cor rupted the members who supported him, that he bought his election for a stipulated sum, is as universally be lieved, and is just as sure as that a just Cod reigns. When the Speaker of the House announced the result of the vote, honest men of all parties hung their heads in shame, and the bronzed Amer ican eagle over the Speaker’s chair fell from its perch with a crash. Pennsyl vania had been disgraced, and her name and her character had been bartered, like a harlot’s, for a price! Act third, was a prize fight between two bruisers named Collier and M’Leod. After indulging freely in Radical whis key, at Harrisburg, the two bloods, ac companied by hundreds of other roughs from the city, repaired to Goldsboro’, York county, to tight for a purse of $l,OOO (greenbacks.) Alter brutally punnneling each other for forty-six rounds, which occupied fifty-three min utes, the seconds of' M’Leod throw up the sponge, when Collier was declared by the umpire to be the victor. A largo number of roughs, who followed the party, when the fight was over, re turned to Harrisburg, and not a few of them found their way into the loek-up. It is due to ;the; authorities of York to say that they used every exertion to prevent this exhibition, hut for want of sufficient force were prevented from do ing so. Such was Tuesday-n-week at Harris burg—the inauguration of Geary, the ■Lilliputian, the election of Simon, the ‘great corruptionist,” to the Senate, and a prize-fight between two Republi can roughs. 'With the fight the day’s fun ended, and our once proud old State reeled under the load of infamy that had been placed upon her escutch eon by the political gamblers in whose keeping she is, and whose brazen au dacity enabled them to violate her hon or. “ God save the Commonwealth.” “ Where was Curtin duringall this dev iltry?” asks some one. He was quietly seated in the Executive chamber—his last day of official power—making out and signing pardons for such of Ids partizans as happened to occupy felons cells. It was his last chance, and hede termined that no man who had suppor ted him for Governor, should remain in the penitentiary, On that day he par doned murderers, burglars, thieves and pick-pockets, and set them at liberty to prey upon the people. It was the wind ing up of an administration that stank in the nostrils of a deceived and be trayed people.

Thank fortune for that. I TOE 1IEBAU) K!VDOnSF-S tVI.V- I XEnAoft. ( The Carlisle Herald : of hist week in forms its readers of the election of the “ great corruptionist,” Simon Cameron, and makes a cjuasi-argumeht in his fa vor. When we consider that in this county the Republicans were almost a unit against Ca>»eron, and spoke of him ns one of ‘Tit scoundrels our country evert Z}d, it.seemsstrange that the orga f .neir party would dare speak in attempt to remove from his name the odium that attaches to it. The Herald says: “During tho exciting canvass much was said by iho enemies of Gen. Cameron, of bribery and corruption, ami charges wore freely made that money had been used to control the votes of members. It Is no now thing in Pennsylvania to hear talk of a similar character made against a successful man on the merest minor, by his de feated competitors, and thofuctthatajolntcom mlttec of both houses of the Legislature, appoint- ■ od for the purpose, have reported that no evi dence of corruption or bribery could bo found by them, should forever silence this charge." That “joint committee of both houses of the Legislature,” appointed ostensi bly to investigate the charges of corrup tion which had boon made against Cam eron, was a rich affair—a most cunning dodge of tire old Winnebago chief. The encmiosofCaraerou had threatened that they would ask for a committee of inves tigation, but the “old corruptionist,”as ■ Forney called Cameron, headed them off beautifully. Before ins enemies knew what they were about, Lowry in thoSenntQ.andStumbaughin the House, (both Cameron men, notwithstanding both were instructed to vote for Curtin,) moved for the appointment of a joint committee to ferret out the members who bad been bribed by Cameron! “A thief to catch a thief.” The Speakers of the Senate and House were Cameron men, and they appointed a solid Cam eron committee, not to investigate Cam eron’s villainies, but to whitewash and cover them up 1 Was not that “ cute ?” Lowry, the meek Senator from Erie, was chairman of the Senate Committee, and Stumbnugh of Franklin, was chair man of the House Committee, and eve ry man on the committee was a Camer on tool, and under strong suspicion.— Lowry and Stumhaugh especially, it was universally believed, received the lion’s share of the corruption money! These beauties made a mock report— which had been cut and dry before they over met together as a committee —in which they said they had investigated the charges of corruption, and found nothing. Of course! It was not prob able that Lowry and Stumhaugh would report against their paltron, Cameron, and themselves. And this is what our neighbor of the Herald points to and says that “ no evidence of corruption or bribery could be found.” Xu conclusion we call attention to the following re marks of our townsman, Lemuel Todd, Esq., made at a little meeting at Har risburg, of the opponents of Cameron. Tliis meeting was held a few hours be fore the assembling of the Republican caucus that placed the old AVinnebago in nomination. Quito a number of speeches -were ilelivoml. From Mr. Todd’s remarks we take the following extract. Mr. T. said : " I have no ‘hesitancy in saying that the elec tion of Shnon Cameron would bo the WORST ; CALAMITY that could befall the .State. It would bo a DISHONOR, not only to the State, but to every member o t the Republican party.— Roller, ton thousand times, that no election should bo made than that Cameron should I)!S -GRACIi us.” Who tolls the truth about Cameron, the Herald or Mr. Todd ? Perhaps wo can accountforthisdiscrepancy of views, however, by stating that Gov. Geary was and is a Cameron man, and that lie Las the oilico of Superintendent of Pub lic Printing to bestow on some one.— Who knows but that that'office may be tendered to a good Cameron man of this founty ? “Those who have traveled through the South since the Itebellion ended, with but few excep tions, speak of the bitterness which exists among Us people against the North.I’—Phil'a, 1 ’— Phil'a, Im/uin-r. What a falsehood. Wo have seen and conversed with scores of men—Demo oralsaud Republicans—who “ have trav eled through the South since the Rebel lion ended,” and without exception they all declare that they were received kindly and treated with true .Southern hospitality by all they met. They are a subdued and almost ruined people, who feel and acknowledge that the war ended with their defeat. They are wil ling and anxious to resume their former relations to the Government, and instead of feeling “ bitter,” they are ready to defend the old flag with their blood.— The Inquirer's assertion, therefore, is a manufactured falsehood, and its object is to strengthen and give plausibility to the doings of the Rump Congress. By lies and fraud and perjury the Radicals obtained power, and they hope-to re tain it by a resort to the same means. Tim Valley Sentinel. —A press of office duties for the last few weeks lias prevented us mentioning, as wo had in tended, the change of editors in the Valley Sentinel, at Shippcnsburg. B: J. Coffey, Esq., now occupies the editorial chair, Mr. Bippey having retired from the establishment. We extend the right hand of fellowship to brother Cof fey, and express the hope that his new duties may bo attended with plenty of greenbacks and general prosperity. The Sentinel is a sprightly, well-conducted Democratic paper, its editorials and se lections give evidence of fact and ability, and we hope to see it wall patronized by the sterling Democracy of the upper end. The Patriot and Union.— The Har risburg Patriot and Union, since it has been in the hands of our old and val ued friend, Boas, is one of the ablest and most energetic Democratic journals in the State. Its editorials are bold, /earless and to the point, and it handles the Jaeobin-disunionists without gloves and without mercy. It deserves and should receive the support of the De mocracy of the whole State, for we con sider it of vital importance that the State organ should be placed on a firm and solid foundation. The Reading Gazette. —Our young friend, Alfred Sanderson, Esq., son of Mayor Sanderson, of Lancaster, has 'as sociated himself with the Hon. J. Law rence Getz, in the publication of the Reading Gazette, the English organ of tho Democracy of old Berks. Mr. S. is a vigorous writer, and promises fair to become a very able editor. Tho Gazelle is one of the ablest Democratic journals in tlie State, and wields a powerful in fluence for tho good old cause. Most sincerely do we wish the Gazelle and its energetic editors abundant success. • Our thanks are due to Senator Buok alew and Representative Glossbrenner, for Congressional documents; also to our member of Assembly, Mr. Long, for his attentions. arcLimE oar camero^ Moai ol‘ the Radical editors \vho op-’ posed the election, of Cameron, aiid) spoke of Mm ns “ the most corrupt man in America,” have “caved in” since his election. Some are quiet; others are at tempting to holster up his infamous life and character! Rut Col. M’Clure, the veteran editor of the J?nlnklin Jtcposi tori/} don’t belong; to that class of politi cians. He was at Harrisburg when Pennsylvania was disgraced by the elec tion of Cameron, ami in a letter to Ids paper he thus discourses: All o/Torts to avert the blistering dis honor of the election of Simon Cameron to tbo ilrst legislative tribunal of the na tion, have proved utterly futile. The people believed that they had precluded the posibllity of such a result, for in no single Senatorial or Representative dis trict in the State does a majority of tho. Republicans desire his election. On thb contrary, nineteen-twentieths of the faithful men who have by noble, patriotic efforts given victory to our cause, are Ear nestly, imlacably opposed to him, and de mand the election of a tried and trusted statesman to the responsible position of Senator. To me this result brings no personal disappointment, and calls for no personal resentment. Of Mr. Cameron, I have no reason for personal complaint. That I believe him unfitted, alike in integrity anti in capacity, for high official trust, is shbwn by twenty years of earnest resis tance to his boundless political preten sions. If I hadaoughtprefennentorprofit, I would have accepted tho repeated invi tations to become Ids partisan. Since the organization of the Republican party, I have labored ami sacrificed for its suc cess to the fullest extent of my humble ability and means, and its honors and emoluments I have freely accorded to others. It has bad tho highest and holi est mission ever committed to any politi cal body of men, and X have steadily look ed above tho strifeforindividualadvance ment to the banner that told the sad story of my country’s woes and appealed to pa triotism to rescue the Now world from man’s crowning inhumanity to man. I therefore turn from tills success of un mingled wrong in sorrow—not for the no ble men who have fallen wounded in the circle of their friends, hut for the fate I fear it must irrevocably decree for the Re publican organization. How it is to sur vive such a wanton slaughterof its proud est attributes, I have not tho faith to com prehend. It may hurl the polluting par asites from its throne and thus maintain its ascendency to the full frution of its great work, but it mnstenter future strug gles with its colors stained and its integ rity questioned. I go from its gaping wounds, inflicted by unworthy ambition and unbridled venality to do battle forks vital principles as before, but not for its betrayers, or those who would follow in their footseps. While the timid, tho time-serving, and the unprincipled will cringe that thrift may follow fawning, let it be known of me that I was not of the victors in this blotted triumph, and that in and about the very temple of pow er, I shall dare to be just, alike to the faithful and to the faithless, for Free dom’s cause. At tho same time, Colonel McClure pays liis respects to Governor Geary in this wise: That General Geary threw his whole personal and official power in favor of the election of Cameron, bartering his offices ns Cameron directed, can no longer be concealed, and his administration starts with this stain stamped upon it. Gover nor Geary may soon learn how easy it is to wreck an administration, but he will prove himself a wise man if he demon strates how it can he rescued and restored to the confidence of the people who cre ated it. BEFOKIf IJIS KIECTIOX Two days before Cameron’s election to tire Senate, the Pittsburg Commercial —the leading Radio d organ of Western Pennsylvania—thus spoke of him; t ' The letter !of Thaddcns Stevens—published In the Commercial yesterday—in every line of which the Inflexibility and boldness of the man are in fused—and the able article wc copy to-day from the Philadelphia Press, are prominent indications of the public sentiment touching the corrupt and demoralizing arts which In former times have been practiced to send Simon Cameron to the United .States Senate, and which, with still greater unserupulonsiicss, have been renewed In the present canvass. One tiling is certain, If Simon Cumoron is elec ted to the Senate by the present Legislature, thousands of honest men all over the State will hold to a fearful account those who, in disregard of ihoir instructions and popular sentiment as sisted to do it. Mr. Stevens does not hesitate to declare to what In former times Mr. Cameron has resorted to gain support. We might point to this distinguished witness to prove all, mid even more than >vo have said, of this man. The aUmly old Commoner does not hesitate to speak out the whole truth.— .So to speak, ho takes the hull by the horns, and tells the people that the cjnestlon Is not sim ply who snail bo Senator, hut whether corruption shall prevail. For the sake of virtue—the fame of the Stale and their own—we hope the Allegheny delegation will he found, when the time shall come, united shoulder to shoulder with anti»corruptionlats from all parts of the State, acting In such a way as will most effectually rebuke the man who re lics on the length of his purse to place him In the United States Senate. The “ Allegheny delegation” liked Cameron’s greenbacks more than they feared the threats of the Commercial, and most of thorn cast their votes for the old Winnebago in the Radical cau cus. Again. Pending the struggle for Se- Senator, the Radicals of Delaware coun ty met in mass meeting and, by a unani mous vote, adopted the following reso- lution: Resolved, That the Republican citizens of Dela ware county, in county meeting assembled, not only heartily endorse the action of the delegate convention in expressing Us choice for United States Senator to bo: llrst choice, Thaddous Ste vens; second choice, Andrew G. Curtin; but de clare that in no event do they wish their repre sentatives to vote for Simon Cameron. The members of Delaware voted for Cameron in caucus! They too thought more of greenbacks than they did of their constituents. Tin: Condition of thk Fukkd Pkoflk Adopt Foutrkss Momioe.-A person Just returned from Fortress Monroe describes the condition of the freed people In that region ns heart-rending in the extreme. Thousands of this class have crow ded thither, during the war, for Government protection, and since then for rations. Now the rations are stopped. The resident white popula tion wore driven away during the war, and the whole country about lias gone to waste. There is. no way for theso poor creatu res to get work.— They herd together in their mud cabins, ou bare doors, often without tire, with insulllciont cloth ing and precarious food, and become easy vic tims of disease, from which they do not rally, but die by hundreds In sheer despair. The above we cut from the Philadel phia Press of a recent date. What se verer commentary could' be published on the “Emancipation Proclamation” and the Radical agitation on the negro question ? Although the poor emanci pated wretches are dying by scores from the effects of starvation and cold, the Radicals have nothing to offer them but the ballot, as though that would feed the hungry and clothe the naked. We are indebted to Gen. John Era ser, of the Pennsylvania Agricultural College, for a catalogue of the officers and students for 1860. We are pleased to know that the institution is in a flour ishing condition, and bids fair to prove an entire success. It is located In Cen tre county, near the pleasant town of Bellefoute. This is an institution where young men who intend to cultivate the soil can acquire an'education that will make them intelligent and scientific far mers. A Radioad paper says it will tax the wisdom of Congress heavily to undo the mischief done by the President. Where upon Prentice retorts that the wisdom of Congress can’t bear a heavy tax. Asiit.ey, of Ohio, said in Congress, the other day, the Eighth of Janu ary “is about played out.” Prom the way things look now, it will outlast the Union, w/mnw'** an onATon, ■ilTß' —— - VMen-’ Tlie;ia(U4' oirtho “ WhmebagbfMef,” ieebiiir-.|ljiisd at his election to thie; U. iS. toinplimented him ,i with a serenade,-at'one of the hotels itrHarria burgj Immediately after his election.— Simon, thereupon, “spoke a piece,” which “ out-Herods Herod” in its radi calism. He also speaks of President Johnson as a “bad man,”and says Hint ho “joined the Democratic’ party long ago.” We very much fear that the President’s slumbers will bo disturbed of nights by these bold assertions of the valiant General, who, unlike his protege, the doughty “hero of Lookout Moun tain,” never “set squadrons inthoiield,” but has confined his exploits to deter mined onslaughts on the cruel Winner hagoes and the “ Scotch Ale, Herring,” &c., of the saintly Cummings. As a history of the times, and that this re markable rhetorical effort may be added to the literary productions of the day, we give it in extenso below: Your greeting is very kind attd cordial, and I thank you for it. I thank God In spite of the slanders my enemies have heaped on me for twenty years, my fel low citizens, who have seen my life from day to day, have always stood by my side and helped to repel them. This last strug gle of my political life has ended in vic tory. . C. ; ' I desire this aSVhh answer to vindicate my honesty, tO' my children and my friends. I nqw propose to put these slanders behind me, and to forget alike the liars who concocted them and the fact that good men in some cases, by the repetition of them, were induced to be lieve aud repeat them. Of cighty-two Republican members of the Legislature, my friends assure mo that sixty-three of them preferred me to any other candidate, and would have voted for meratherthau have witnessed my defeat. Tho charac ter of my supporters Is ns gratifying to me as their numbers. Any one who knows anything of our politics, who will read the list of those who voted for me will find names as pure and honorable ns thatof the purest Chris tian moralist among my rivals, and quite as unlikely to descend to any corrupt pro posal. Just there I leave the whole mat ter, putting all party feuds, and animosi tiesand prejudices together under my feet, and go forward to the honorable duties to which my native State has called me for the third time. Six years ago I thought that slavery was the strength of the Rebellion, and ought to be destroyed without delay. I wished also to arm all black men who would volunteer. Of course, I thought that clothing a black man in the Ameri can uniform, clothed him also with the rights of an American citizen ; and I am al ways sorry to see a black soldier, and then reflect that even Pennsylvania de nies him the ballot, tire only weapon whereby ho can protect himself. I hope to live to see the word “white” stricken from our own Constitution, and the spirit of caste based upon color utterly destroy ed. The South, however, is more controlled by social influence than by political prin ciple. If you are wise and Arm you may possibly educate the rising generation in to loyalty : but there is no method of statesmanship which will make this gene ration of the South loyal to the Union and tlie flog. The poison of thirty years cannot be eradicated by the subserviency of the President, or by the statutes of Congress, Let us look the truth in the face. The Southern territory is disloyal. Tiro loyal men of to-day must guard their children against another treasonable re bellion. The Constitutional Amendment and A. K. M. impartial suffrage will help to do this, but universal amnesty will help to undo it. Of Andrew Johnson I said long ago that ho was a traitor to his party, and an enemy to his country, and a bad man. He has done many bad things, but nothing worse than offering the offices pf the country to those few unprincipled men who agreed to desert and destroy the great Republican organization for his patronage. He Join ed the Democratic party long ago. Ho lias a right to give them the offices, but he has no right to dispose of them at auc tion to weak-kneed Republicans. The pauper labor of Europe is again competing with our labor, and our manu factories languish for want of protection against it. Pennsylvania needs no assur ance of piy devotion to her interests in this regard, which is the interest of the whole country. I will continue to labor in season and out of season to protect our manufacturers from ruin, and their work men from befhgthTown out of employ ment or their wages reduced to the starva tion point, for I hold that the true wel fare of any nation depends on the true Welfare of its laboring class. Gentlemen—l trust that this Is my last political struggle. I have nothing more to deserve, and I hope that wo will all forget the bitterness, the unjustifiable bit terness, I think, of.the late contest. For my part, I will try to act as a representa tive of all the Radical Republicans of Pennsylvania, without regard to past dif ferences or dissantions. With my tem perament, I cannot forgetmy friends who have stood by me so nobly, but I will try to forget and forgive the unjust calum nies and the political opposition X have experienced. THE TEST OATH BSCONSTmiI lO.VAI. 'The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Test Oaths that Hie rump Congress required certain men to take, are unconstitutional. The decision of the Court, which is most able, was pronounced by Mr. Justice Field. Promptly at 11 o’clock the court was opened, and Mr. Justice Field proceeded to deliver the decision of the majority of the Judges in the test-oath case of Cummings, a clergyman from the State of Missouri, on the constitutionality of the test-oath law of that State. In an elaborate and learned opinion, the Court held the law to be nneonstitvlional, be cause it was ex post facto, and in the na ture of a bill of pains and penalties, whicli is contrary to the Constitution of the United States, and in the case ex parte Garland, application for admission to practice before the Supreme Court, it was held by the Court that the test oath prescribed by act of Congress, for prac titioners at the bar, was illegal and there fore void, and the rule of the Court re quiring them to take it was, by order, rescinded. The people of the District of Colum bia have at last had negro suffrage for ced upon, them against their expressed will. The veto of the bill by the Presi dent contained able and solid reasons why that should not become a law, and he was sustained by the conservative minority in Congress, and by General Grant, who expressed himself as deci dedly opposed to the measure. But the Executive negative was fruitless in the face of the Radical two-thirds, and the bill Was hastily re-passed. All classes of people await now with anxiety to see how this “experiment” will work. General Philip 'Sheridan emphatically denies that ho Is a candidate for the Presidency,— Me. Unnecessary. We don’t think any one but himself ever supposed that he would be spoken of for the Presidency or any other civil position. As burner of the barns, dwellings, pig pens and chicken coops of the Shenandoah Val-, ley, he did admirably, but that is the only kind of work the people consider him fit for, ■ Senator Cowan.— The friends of. Senator CoWan will be glad to learn that he has been dominated Us Minister to Austria. Wb, presume the Radicals in the Senate will scarcely refuse to con firm his appointment, “THE LARGEST VERSE MUST WIN, THAR. STEVENS. .’.The, Sunday Mercury thus truthfully ; speaks of the nomination of Simon Cam eron for U. S. Senator: i,. “ Simon Cameron has triumphed.- ' He has, In a Republican caucus, carried the election for the Senntorship over all Ills competitors. There will, of comae, bo a howl of indignation, in bis own party, over his success. But wherefore ? Is he not as virtuous, as honest, ns patriotic, as “loyal,” os either Forney* Curtin, or Ste vens? It ho has not as much brains as the others, Is he not, on that very account, the least dangerous man of the five? Bet tor have, In times like these, an incapa ble fool In the National Senate, than such an arch fiend of revolution ns Stevens. — In a choice of evils, Cameron Is the least. But how did he win In the contest?— Forney and Stevens both say that money decided the controversy. They allege, In plain words, that tho Republican mem bers of the Legislature sold the high of fice of the Senatorship for gold. They ought to know, and no doubt do know, tho truth of what they assert; and though they are “ dirty birds that foul their own nest,” their, charge of corruption in this matter Is against their own party, and must, hereafter, recoil upon It with crush ing effect. But what assurance have the people that Mr. Cameron was more corrupt in this struggle for office than either of his competitors? Stevens iSald, In his letter to Col. Harry Whltp;„that “ it is prover bial that the largest pursers sure to win,” and after declaring,,in‘.the same letter, that “ his purse is too'.mea’gre to contest the election with Cameron," ho went to Harrisburg and engaged, personally, In the very fight which he had averred must bewonhy “ the largest purse.” Whatlh fercnoe.but one can be drawn from such confessions? We are no.t only satisfied that Cameron's superior, erfmmand of “greenbacks” carried him through In tho canvass, but. it would not surprise us to learn that he bought'the whole party opposed to him In tho eiectionXjjlorney, Stevens, Curtin and all. There never was in this country a moro\venal and purchasable set of men than the of the “ Republican” faction. They have not only sold out their own constituents, over and over again, in our elections-and legislation, but they are even now, sacri ficing the union of the States and the peace, honor and prosperity of the nation, for the sake of power and its spoils. How long a deceived and abused people will suffer such wrong, remains to be seen.— The “Republican” press will, no doubt, utter a sham lament over the disgrace of their party in the election of Mr. Camer on ; but we predict that time, and what Stevens calls ” Illegitimate arguments,” will speedily bring them round to. gentle acquiescence in, if not positive commen dation of the result.” Letter from Gen. llcanrciriird—lie Defines Ills Position. New Orleans, Jan. 10, 18G7.—W. H. C. King, Esq., editor of the New Orleans Times— Dear Sir: In your paper this morn ing youpublish an article from the Now York Herald, containing some remarks relative to a speech I am rported to have made at Canton, Miss., to the Congres sional excursionists lately in that city. The Herald is in error, for I made no speech at Canton or elsewhere to those excursionists, but conversed with them freely and openly told them the South had fought the North so desperately- because it was defending what It conceived, to be its constitutional rights: that having ap pealed, however, to theabitration of arms, it yielded to the decision which was given against it; that I believed that the peo ple of the South were now willing to ac cept the Constitution as made by the war and understood by the Supreme Court of the United States. I said, also, in my opinion, thoquestlons of secession and slavery were forever set tled ; and, so far as I was concerned, un der no circumstances, would I counte nance any effort to revive them; that we must now direct our energies and our vi tality. to repairing the damages of the war, and restoring to our homes some of the comforts and that prosperity which they formerly enjoyed. In answer to quesr tion of some of the excursionists,, if I thought the South would accept the con stitutional amendment, I replied, that es chewing politics, and attending strictly to the private busifaess and duties of my position, I had little opportunity, except through newspapers, to ascertain public sentiment on the subject; but, if they de sired to know my individual opinion, I would say the South would not or should not accept the amendment, even if pre sented as a finality, for its interests, and manhood forbade it; that we feel wo are now at the mercy of the North, but that the South would never do anything which its honor could not approve to protect its interests. I belive they would remain passive spectators of the struggle going on at the North, relying on the sober sec ond thought and sense of justice of both parties to protect us. Tlief efore, at the fall of the Confederacy, instead of going to a foreign country to swear allegiance tofts government, I pre ferred remaining in my. own, and swear ing allegiance to what I conceived to be its new Government, If, in conversation with the excursionists, I used the words consolidated government when speaking of the United States, Government, I meant of course, common Federal Na tional Government, operating under the Constitution as Interpreted by the Su premo Court of the United States. I remain yours, respectfully, G. T. Beaubeqabd. Democbats ! Remember thaMhe Mon grel Radical Congress has forced unquali fied Negro Suffrage upon the people of the District of Columbia, in face of the fact that nine-tenths of the people of the Dis trict expressed their opposition to itat the polls. If there be such a thing as Tyranny, we have it in its most monstrous shape in this act of Congress; Let this matter be talked over among the people. Call your neighbors’ attention to it. Above all, bring home the fact to your friends in the “ Republican’’ party. They must acknowledge, now, what they lately de nied, that their party is in favor of Negro Suifi'uge. and they must either endorse that doctrine, or they can no longer con sistently act with that party. Put it at them ?—Bedford Gazette, Habd on Geary.— The New York Ex press, noticing the prize fight which came off in York county-on inauguration day, says: , “The Pennsylvanians, doubtless, Will be saying the most severe things of us New Yorkers for thus letting our roughs re-invade their State; but seeing what a blood-thirsty, if not blood-letting Gover nor, is sending in his message to their Legislature to-day, the less they have to say about ‘M’Glade and Collyer’—for con sistency’s-sake—the better. Geary goes for punishing the South— ‘ the man who is down’—and who has ‘ thrown up the sponge;’ but the New York pugilists, when the fight is over, are willing to ‘shake hands again and be friends.’— Which, now, is the better way? which the better man?” HOP Mrs. Annie Ashly, the wife of Ashly, member of Congress for Nevada, has been arrested In Washington, charged with threatening to shoot a woman who gave the name of Martha Cunningham. The complainant alleges that Mrs. Ashly threatened to shoot her if she saw her walking with Ashly, M. C. and after wards said that she would shoot her wher ever she met her. It is alleged that the cause of the difficulty was a not altogeth er unfounded jealousy on the part of the M. C's wife. Mrs. Ashly gave bail to ap pear in police court and answer to the charge. Hon.

The; New York correspondontof tho Philadol-, phlaXedyersdyS: . : ... Another batch of suits for the recovery of damages were instituted against Gen. Butler, in tho Supremo Court Chambers this morning. The plaintiffs are In some cases of New Orleans, and In others, citi zens of Virginia, and all claiming to bo and have been loyal men. The most serious of those complaints or suits Is based upon the allegation that General Butler had, by virtue of his pow er in New Orleans, compelled a Mr. Honl well to transfer the steamer C'arlotta, worth $BO,OOO, to hlmsblf personally for $40,000, in a currency worth but $28,500; had through his agent sent this vessel on a private venture for his own advantage, which it was Insinuated was to supply the rebels with quinine, lf necessary -lbs strong and iron hand will be invoked to stay the course and prevent the consummation qf Radical treashn; Thogreatoathof tho President, to protect and defend the Cfonstl tutlon, will not bo forgotten, and tho people who sustain him with their five hundred thou sand majority of voting population, North and Sonth, will uolforgothlm. Events hove already brought the Government to the very verge of another revolution. If the Radical majority in Congress pursues Us treasonable course much longer, tho Government, In order to sustain Itself, will have to arm its supporters. At tho call of the President all his friends North and fyitth, and the Ar • tip and Navy, l oili respond, ' In such a contest the is sue cannot be doubtful. Congressmen maybevah lant lighters on tho floor of Congress, but whoa they come to load their cohorts Into tho field, It will bo another thing. Real armies and tho groat soldiers of the Republic will bo found fighting under tho fiag. We advise tho opposition of tho DBTBRSCINED AND FIXED FACT THAT ANDREW Johnson will serve out ms Constitutionai. term op office." Let the President strike! Ho cannot do so a moment' toosoop. If tho rebel loaders, of tho South had been arrested when they - were preaching treason and disunion, and with • drawing from tho counolls of tho nation, the great civil war might have been prevented. Let Andrew Johnson loam a lesson from the Admin istration of James Buahanan. Lot him crush treason and disunion In tho bud! and a million loyal hearts and sttang. right aims will rally around him, to fight under the old flog of the country. Tho fight must come some day. Tho Radical revolution must be metby force of arms as all othet reV/dutlons in the history of tho world have tho President but bo true to tho groat pdth-llbhaa taken, to protect and defend. tho Oonilitutlbn and tho people will bo true to him. Ayp.Jet the President strike, and strike at once f ThoProstdout has sout to tlio Bbuate'thename of Senator Edgar Cowan as Minister to Austria in place of J. Lnthrop Motley, who has asked to bo relieved. It is duo to Senator Cowaji to say lhat ho did not solicit the position and -did not know of his appointment until his name was sent to tho Senate. It is doubtful if. his other engage' meats permit him to accept.' This appointment has given tho Radicals a splendid opportunity of showing their contemptible littleness. It has been an invariable rule, when the name of a Bon*, ator or one who has been a Senator comesup for confirmation, to pass upon it at once; bat in this case, as an ihsuifrto Senator Cowan, bis appoint* mentwas referred to tho Committee, on Foreign relations; and as a further insult the Radical members of tho lower House from Pennsylvania have signed a remonstrance against hts confir mation. ' • On last Sunday the Chaplain of tho House preached a sermon In which ho declared that It was right to be Radical, because Christ was a Radical in the broadest sense:' knd ho further said that if under existing laws power was not given to punish traitors, the laws must bo over turned, and such laws passed and suoh .men placed in power os wonld meet the demands of the time. Isn’t ho a nloe specimen to call him* self a minister of tho Gospel. The Senate has passed a bill still further cur .tailing ; the President's .prerogative by taking from him the power of removal from office. Like all other Radical measures it will have to be test* eel by tho touch-stone of the Constitution before the Supremo Court; and will doubtless come to grief os ail the othdr Radical Innovations have done. I am glad to learn that a movement is on foot to oroot a monument over the grave of the late Chief Justice Taney. The members of tho Bar, of the District and of Maryland, have boon called on for contributions, and they have responded with their characteristic promptitude and liber ality. I have no doubt a monument will bo erected which will bo a fitting tribute to one of the greatest Jurists the country has produced. Caucasian.
