It is amusing: to'read the comments
of the leading: negrp-equollty papers on
the recent defeats of their rotten party.
They nearly all agree that their bad luck
is tiwlng to the “ insane policy pursued
by Sumner, Stevens and. other leaders
of the Republican’party.” To'use the
language of a Radical pap er before us i
«These men (tho lenders) *lmvo gone too fav;
they consumed the whola 'session or tho thlrty
nlntli Congress In talking About impending tho
’President, when It was Veil known by the whole
country that they never Intended to nut their
threats Into execution; Refusingdho Southern
etntes representation In Congress, was another
Impolitic step; was a denial that the Union
had been restored, and gave the Democrats an
opportunity to brand us as dlsnnlontsis. AVe
hone to ace no more of this reckless policy. If
out Republican friends In. Congress are wise, they
■will retrace their steps, pay mnreii tUmilon to tho
wants of tho country, adlnit the Southern repre
sentatives, and stop their everlasting talk about
the "coming man’’ the negro. Tho popple,aro
ilek-nnd disgusted with the domngoguelsm and
dishonesty that characterized the lost Congress.
ASoctlug distinguished officers of our late army,
rnorely because of their politics, and feeding tens
of thousands of Africans at the public expenso
will not bo put up with by a Just people. Let tho
Connecticut election and tho result of the hun
dreds of municipal elections all over tho country
serve as a warning to tho extreme men In Con
gress If thesd warnings aro not heeded, the
. Republican party has gained Its lost triumph.
The above is as sensible as true. The
people are “ disgusted with the dema
•gogueism and dishonesty .of the last
Congress," and they will make their in
dignation felt ns often as opportunity
offers. The Radical editor, whose lan
guage we quote above, speaks like a
prophet when he declares that “ the Re
publican party has gained its last tri
umph.” Most heartily do the yeoman
ry of the country respond “ amen” to
this. They have placed their feet on
the neck of the hydra-headed monster
which has been feeding on their substance
for the last six years, and they are de
termined to crush it to death.
Is it not strange, however, and al
most unaccountable, to see Republican
editors upbraiding their party leaders
now, after all their fanaticism, deviltry,
treason and negro-equality notions have
been foisted upon the people ? One-half
the Republican editors of the country
can now see that the people will not tol
erate the insane and treasonable acts of
the 39th Congress, arid they upbraid
•Sumner, Stevens and other demagogues,
and hold them responsible for'having
offended the people and destroyed the
Republican party. Why did not these
editors thunder out their condemnations
before, when these “reckless Radical
measures,” as they call them, were pen
ding and under discussion? They can
now find fault-and kick apd cuff their
leaders, but had the people endorsed
Congress these same editors, we opine,
would have been found eulogizing the
very men and measures they now con
demn. They like the radicalism of their
leaders, so long as radicalisrri wins, but
they like their party better, and are
willing to find fault with the extremists,
if by so doing they can save their infa
mous organization from going to pieces.
The people understand these gentlemen
perfectly, and have as little confidence
in the Republican editors who.now con
demn the treason of Congress as they
have for the men who stood foremost in
behalf of the measures complained of.
For some years many honest men have
been blind to the aims and objects of
the Radical-negro-equklity Jacobins, but
now that they have got their eyes open,
it will give .them great pleasure to throt
tle the rascals who have deceived and
betrayed them. Mark it!
New Assessor.— ln the confirmation
of Revenue Assessor for this (the loth)
District, there has been much difficulty
and delay, owing to the obstinacy of the
Rump Senate. First, Col. A. J. Fulton,
was rejected, then M? S. Eichelberger,
Esq., then Col. Levi Maish,andlast Hen
ry Latimer, all of York county. All are
good and reliable men, and no reason but
political malice against President John
son and the Democratic party, can be
given for the course of the Rump Senate.
On Friday last, the name of Hon. A.
H. Glatz, at present State Senator from
this District, was sent to the Senate for
this position, and he was confirmed.—
He is a firm Democrat and will make a
good officer.
The Connecticut Election,— The
official canvass of the vote at the recent
Connecticut election has been made and
Ihe result has just been announced. Jas.
E. English, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, received 47,570 votes, and
Joseph H. Hawley, the negro-equality
candidate, 46,583; English being elect
ed by a majority of 987: The Total vote
cast was 94,153, which is 3000 larger than
that cast at any previous election. The
Democraticmajority on the Congressio
nal ticket is 1394. Governor English is
to be inaugurated at Hartford early in
May, with appropriate ceremonies.
The Eads have it that upon the ad
journment of the Rump Senate there
was much harmony and cordiality ex
isting between tlie President and “the
traitors at the other end of the line,”
and it is therefore intimated that there
will not be a quorum of Eumpers to as
semble at Washington in July.
At the late municipal election the
Democracy of Chicago reduced the
Radical majority 1,691 on the vote of
1866, and 1,929 on the vote of 1865.
Besides this they gained fouraldermen.
The total poll of votes was 19,880. In
' 1865 the total poll was 16,537.
Wilson is down South threatening
that if the people do not accept the
military despotism bill confiscation will
follow. He tells the people that negro
suffrage will be established in the
Northern States in a year.
The women of Wisconsin are not to
vote until another Legislature has also
passed the amendment and it has been
submitted to and been ratified by the
people—contingencies not likely to oc

CORRUPTION IN THE NEW TORK I.EO
-ISI.ATUKE.
According to tlio tenorofobnrge‘4 made In tho
newspapers of New York, the Legislature Of that
State has been, for several years-past, composed
of very dishonest Individuals. A Writer upon
this subject states boldly that since 1868 one of
tho railroad companies of that State has paid
half a million of dollars to Insure the stockhold
ers against Injurious and aggressive legislation,
and to protect Its stockholders. In one case spe
ckled, the members of a certain committee re
ceived twenty thousand dollars each for making
a particular report, and woro promised each live
thousand dollars moro when tho bill became a
law. One Senator demanded twenty-live thou
sand dollars lor his vote ond got it. This start
ling statement is received amTcommented upon
without any seeming doubt of its truth, and tho
company which thus yielded to thfc supposed ne
cessity Is said to be Justified In its action, upon
the argument that not being able to get Justice
for the sake of Justice, it was forced to buy It. In
one year it Is stated that 8100,000 was paid by this
single company to members of tho Legislature.
Of nineteen votes finally recorded for a certain
bill in tho Now, York Senate, it is said that only
six were given upon principle, and without any
pecuniary consideration.. Tho constancy and
boldness with which those charges are made
against the'Legislature of Now York, ought to
cause a general excitement in that State. But It
does not. It seems to bo received by tho people
ns an actual verity, while tho members assailed
sit quietly under it, asamailer of no consequence.
Tho evils which thus exist must continue to do
so as long os tho people are careless. They, can
control the actions of the political! parties, and
obtain tho nomination of honest men, or If not,
they can vole against dishonest Nominees. But
they do neither. Hence, Instead of this mon
strous evil-and wickedness decreasing, It seems
likely to Increase.— Phila, Inquirer.
Tho above article appeared in the
Radical, negro-equality Philadelphia
Inquirer a few days since. To see a pa
per of that party complain about corrup
tion's something new and quite re
freshing. The Inquirer might have sta
ted, in its comments, that the Radicals
are in the majority in both houses of the
New York Legislature, and that wher
ever this is the case corruption, bar
gain and sale, and bribery are sure
to be found. Bad as is the New York
Legislature, it :s-not a whit worse than
the Legislature of Pennsylvania. It is
notorious that of late years corruption
and bribery have procured nearly all
the legislation for this State. Let a
measure be ever so necessary and meri
torious, no action can be had on it until
the cash is paid down to members for
their support; and no matter how infa
mous another measure may be or how
injurious to the people and the State, it
will be made a law provided those in
terested agree to pay a good pile of bri
bery money. • This is notorious.
From the very year the Republican
party obtained power, bribery, corrup
tion, fraud and perjury commenced, not
only in all departments of the National
Government, but in all the State Gov
ernments. Until this treasonable and
pestiferous faction gained a majority
in our State Legislature, no such thing
as bribing members was thought of.—
Formerly, before this negro-equality
disumon party obtained control of af
fairs, a member of the Legislature was
respected by everybody, and by every
body regarded an honest man, for none
but honest men could then receive the
votes of tile people for this responsible
and then honorable position. Not so
now. The greater the rascal, the more
is ho worshiped by the leaders of the
Republican party. The whole country
is alive with corrupt and mercenary
men. TheLincolnadministration,back
ed up as it was by dishonest Governors
and by “ Loyal Leagues,” corrupted
the people from one end of our land to
the »ther, and no public man of the Re
publican party is considered “ smart”
if he does not make his “ pile” inside of
a year or two. Corruption rules the
land, and thus far the people have sus
tained it because party tactics required
them to do so.
We agree with th a Inquirer —this state
of affairs “ ought to cause a general ex
citement.” May we hope that such will
be the case ? Many of the Republican
journals of this State, we notice, are
speaking out boldly against corruption,
and several of them have even gone so
far as to express the wish that the Demo
crats may carry the next Legislature of
Pennsylvania. These are good omens.
And now that the people have been con
vinced that they have been sustaining a
set of rascals, let them be zealous in
assisting to remedy the evil as far as
they can.
STIUWS.
It is an old saying that “ straws show
which way. the wind blows,” and the
following letters, received during the
present week —and which indeed are
but a sample of a dozen others we have
on hand—show very conclusively that
there is a change taking place in the
public sentiment of this county, in ref
erence to the political issues of the times,
such as has never been witnessed before.

Missus. Bkatton & Kennedy—
Dear Sira: I take pleasure in sending
you two duliars widen wus given me by
one of my Republican friends wishing
you to send him the “ Volunteer" in re
turn. He has been reared under the In
fluence of such papers ns the New York
Tribune , Carlisle Herald nud American
and Shippensburg News, and lam happy
to state he has “ fallen from grace” to the
doctrines preached by those papers, or in
other words has got enough of negro
equality; Prom henceforth he intends
coming out boldly for the great principles
set forth by the Democratic party. Please
send the “ Democratic Almanac’’ to each
address.
Yours, respectfully,
Newville, April 22J, 1867.
. Messrs. Bratton & Kennedy: You
brag so much about your Newville list,
may be you would not mind to add a few
more names to it. I send you eight dol
lars, to send your paper, the Volunteer, to
the following persona: ******
* * », * * .*,, * Their P. O. is New
ville, and one of them used to be a red
hot Republican, but the negro business
fixed him and be swears he will vote the
Democratic ticket. What he says he'll
do. And be is not the only one who has
been on the fence. I know of three oth
er changes. They are men you can trust.
I think one or two will take the “ Volun
teer.” Don’t fotget the Almanac.
Your obedient servant,
How many more of our friends in
Cumberland county can send us the
name of a converted Republics#!? Four
such in every township will increase our
county majority two hundred in the
next election.

address to the negroes in Washington,

How do the Radicals like the response?

CHE I.ATE RAIHCAI. I.EOISEATIJRE OF
THIS STATE.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the
Franklin Repository, a leading Radical
organ of this Slate, under date of April
15, thus speaks of the late Legislature
of Pennsylvania:
All hall, Pennsylvania! Day has ln on
tho starless midnight that has encircled our ven
erable Commonwealth. The people can breathe
again. The Legislature of 1887 is no more. It Ims
fought its last light—lt has won Its last stake—it
has brought gladness to over three million hearts
by Us adjournment. The gallant roosters have
closed their legislative miction, and gone homo
with heavy hearts to settle their accounts with
tho people who in an evil hour entrusted them
with brief authority. They have passed sixteen
hundred laws, "pinched” others by tho score,
and finally, after'over three months ol legisla
tive noting, rotating, pinching, plundering and
pocketing, their time has come, and they go out,
as a rale, to return no move forever. Public bills
wore not considered. A few, perhaps a dozen in
all, unimportant in their character, were passed,
but sixteen hundred private bills have been ad
*led to our statutes, and tho hugest of volumes
Will ho added to-our pamphlet laws. Just’whnt
has passed nobody kuows, and none pretend to
know. Governor Gcury has had hundreds of
bills to dispose of during tho lost hours ol tho
session, ana how many of them had snug little
serpents, hissing vipers, or regular anacondas,
colled up in theme ho will leuru only when their
fangs sink In to some luckless victim and ho prays
for relief. Tho Senate has gradually degenera
ted until it rises but little above tho House In
fiolnloi tho dignity of legislation. On .Tuesday a
argo calender of private bills was to bo disposed
of, and tho first legislative tribunal of tho State
sat for hours passing bills by their titles, no one
knowing what the body of tho blits contained.—
True, they had passed committees, but who know
what hud dcoii interpolated by a stray word
or line? or who knew what hidden serpents
wriggled In them under tho color of fairness?*-
There sat Blgham and Rldgway, In front of tho
Clerk to hear tho titles rend,•and qb fast as pro
nounced by tho lUferk they were declared passed.
Occasionally some obstreperous Senator would
interpose an objection, but ho would bo bawled
down by a score of voices, saying—" let it go—lt's
all right—don’t stop the machine 1” and, lest his
little ulll mightfall a victim to the retribution of
some defeated associates, ho would quiet down
and the farce would go on. - Thus were hundreds
of bills passed in. the Pennsylvania Senate, and
they now stand upon our records nssolemnly en
acted laws. In the House It was tho sumo, only
ailttlo more so, Instead df reading bills by their
title, they read and passed many of them- mere
ly by their; numbers, Neither title or body of
the bills woro read. Colonel Quay at one time
Joculqrly suggested that they Ifad better pass the
calender of oills by the page, but it was deeomd
necessary to read the numbers, and thus they
were rushed through. Ofcoursi in such a whirl
wind of legislation the roosters had a good time,
but often it would be discovered that there had
not been a fair understanding or a fair divide:
that some rooster sharper than his follows, had
snaked a "gopd thing” through without giving
the rest a show. Immediately upon the discov
ery of such u mistake, amotion would bo made
to reconsider, and as such - a motion was always a
notice to all the roosters that there was some
thing wrong,-it always carried. A hasty consul
tation would fallow—a little knot of first-class
dealers would bob their heads together In a cor
ner, tho objectionable bill would appear dll right,
and go kiting through again. Thus rushed leg
islation for days, ami especially the last few days
of tho session, until the enormous number ol
sixteen hundred bills were passed, and nearly all
of them have been approved.
This, says the Philadelphia Age, is a
humiliating picture of the Legislature
of a State like Pennsylvania, but it is a
faithful one in all respects. The Radi
cal party has introduced corruption into
al 1 branches of the public service. During
the war the cry of “ loyalty” was quite
sufficient to lift into power a man desti
tute alike of honesty and intelligence,
while the opposite allegation, unsup
ported by a particle of proof, woulu de
feat the most upright and well-informed
citizen in the Commonwealth. The
trading material in the country took"
advantage of this tide, and were floated
into legislative bodies and other posi
tions of honor, profit andresponsibility.
Once there “ rings” were formed. The
ins and outs joined hands. One party
drove the game into the pen ; the other
slaughtered it. When nominations were
to be made the same influences were at
work. Bad men returned old officers
who had “ done the right thing” while
in place, or new ones who had been
measured and found willing to do the
bidding of the managers of the Radical
party. Under such a system it is no
marvel that the Legislature should take
a lower place, year by year, in the esti
mation of honest, men, until Radical
writers are compelled to present such a
pen and ink portrait of it as that given
from the -Repository.
The increase of taxes, the multiplica
tion of offices, and the general stagna
tion of business-, will compel the people,
at no remote period to effect a reform in
this matter. Better men will be de
manded to fill all places in the gift of
the public. The Democratic party must
be prepared to answer that just demand.
The officers belong to the country, not
to individuals. It is not the policy of
the Democratic party or the country to
make office-holding a trade or occupa
tion in this land. The man who has
no regular calling, or is too idle and
worthless to make a living in any legi
timate way, is not fit to go to the Legis
lature. These facts must form the basis
of action on the part of the Democrats
of this State, if they wish to rescue it
from the grasp of the reckless men who
are now in power. , If we put in nomi
nation the best men of the State this
fall for the offices' to be filled, a change
can be effected.
The Working Classes.— ln New
York the “ Eight-hour bill,” has passed
the Legislature, and now only needs
the Governor’s signature to become a,
law. An eight-hour'bil I has been in
troduced into the lower House of ihe
Massachusetts Legislature. The strike
of the Iron-workers at Pittsburg has
ended, the men going to work at the
old prices, thus yielding to the employ
ers. This strike began in January last,
and at one timo7ooo operatives wore en
gaged in it. The strike among the iron
workers at Dover N. J., is also at an
end, the men abandoning their demands
and going to work at the old prices. In
New York some of the carpenters now
on strike have started a co-operative
carpenter shop, and will work hereafter
on their own account.
At the colored meeting in Richmond,
on Monday of last week, to commemor
ate the death of Mr. Lincoln, one of the
whites made a Radical speech, caution
ing the negroes to, beware of the politi
cal designs of the whites, and insist on
equality before the law and in the
schools. One of the colored speakers
made a Conservative speech. He said
he was reared at the South, these were
his people, and he wanted to be at peace
with them. A Radical meeting was
held at the theatre in the evening, and
a large crowd of negroes stood outside
dissuading others from going inside.
During the speeches, when the ques
tion, of peace between the whites and
blacks was named, there, were loud
cries for peace.

A-BARICAE OPINION.
The Johdstown Tribune (Radical) has
the following to say about tho late Cam
eron Legislature:
“Tho fyiputylican press of tho State, with few
exceptions, is outspoken In Us condemnation of
tho course of the Legislature which has Just ad
journed. There seems to be no ground for doubt
that unblushing corruption—the buying and soi
ling of votes—cnumcierized much of the impor
tant legislation of the session. Of course, mem
bers oi both parties tool: the bribes. If bribes
they were, but tho llepubllcnu party Is shamed
tho must by tho conduct of Its representatives,
for wo have heretofore been somewhat loud in
tho utterance of tho boost that wo were holler
than our opponents. Wo have no advice to oiler,
but a blind man can boo. that if the Republicans
of this Stale deslro to retain power they must
purge their party of tho contamination winch
comes of dishonest leadership."
Wo agree with the Talriot & Union,
when it says that this denunciation of
corruption at this time, amounts to lit
tic. It is tho cringing courtiers’ excla
mation—“ the King is dead—long live
tho King I” A dead legislature cannot
reward or punish—a new one can do
both. It is the custom of the Radical
press to denounce their corrupt officials,
congresses and legislators, after power
has departed from them, but never be
fore.' Each new officer, and every suc
cessive legislature is to he an improve
ment on its ignoble predecessor, but the
promise is never fulfilled. All turn out
to be of the same corrupt class, and are,
in turn, virtuously, denounced when
forced to abdicate.
The people have had enough of such
practices, and no longer put faith in
Radical promises of amendment. The
only way to bring about a thorough re
form Is for tho voters of Pennsylvania
to select their public officers from that
party which for years has been in mi
nority . They can rest assured that men
who stay by a minority party for as long
a time as the Democracy have been out
of power cannot certainly be actuated
by corrupt or selfish motives—more es
pecially when the fact is taken into con-'
Bideration that the Radical party lias
always been ready to reward Democrat
ic renegades, and does reward them be
yond their deserts and over the heads
of the original Radical leaders. The
people can safely confide" the destinies
of the State and country-to the keeping
of present leaders of Democracy,
who have so steadily resisted Radical
blandishments and the temptation to
sit down to “ buzzards’ feasts” with
those who have fattened on the necessi
ties of the country. Let them elect a
Democratic majority to the next Legis
lature, and corruption will cease.
Radical Pkosoeiption in Connec
ticut.—Since the Radical defeatin Con
necticut the workingmen who support
ed the Democratic ticket have been most
shamefully proscribed by Radical capit
alists and employers. At Portland, it
is said, one thousand men are now out
of employment. The quarry owners
notified the Democratic workmen that
their services would not be required for
a year, whereupon the Republican wor
kingmen, disgusted with such infamous
proscription, struck and declared they
would work no longer if their fellow
workmen were to be proscribed for their
political opinions. In Rockville the
Radical managers have discharged fifty
workmen for voting the Democratic
tfeket, and in other places the hunt for
and discharge of Democrats is rapidly
proceeding. In addition to these facts,
the Radical factory owners, as if out of
revenge upon the whole working class
es—at whose door, mainly, the defeat is
laid—have added an hour to the day’s
labor, making it twelve hours, and cut
down the wages ten per cent. These
tacts show tnnt tiie HaUlcai politicians
love the workingmen only so long ns
the latter make themselves the tools of
their employers. The workman must
be the thrall—the slave—of his Radical
employer, or be denied the right to earn
bread for himself and family. This is
true of the leaders of that party in eve
ry State.
The tariff lias been changed eleven times In the
last live years.-~.Er.
And every change has been to benefit
the rich and oppress the poor—to make*
millioniaresofmanufaoturersand pover
ty ridden paupers of farmers, mechan
ics and day laborers. Eleven changes
in the tariff! eleven advances in the
price of goods 1 eleven dollars into the
pockets of rich men—eleven dollars out
of the earnings- of poor men; rich men’s
wealth increased eleven times—poor
men sunk eleven times deeper into pov
erty and want. Such is the result of the
eleven changes. Will our people over
come to a sense of justice? Will they
learn before it is too late, that tariffs
are but the tributes of the poor paid in
to the coffers of the rich ?
Radical Senator Perry declared in a
speech, the other day, that the Connec
ticut victory was owing to the fact that
all “the. ignorance and superstition of
the Oid World arepbured into the Dem
ocratic party.” And how are the Rad
icals trying to carry the elections in the
Southern States and some of the North
ern? Why, by pouring into the Radi
cal party the ignorance and superstition
of the negro race—ignorance and super
stition beside which Old World ignor
ance and superstition would seem to be
the brightest intelligence;

tee lias Axed on the ; 2Sth of June as the

vention,
THERE IS NO SUCH VVOIfR AS “ FAIR.’:
There is a maxim in tho code of rules
which Dr. Franklin prescribed for the
regulation of ins own conduct, which
the Democratic party ought to store up
in their hearts and try to understand.—
‘‘Do what you resolve to do.” The
practical benefit that would arise from
an unshaken adherence to this principle
is certain and important. Within the
range of possibility, ail tilings can he
effected by the exercise of time, faith
and energy, in defiance of whatever
difficulties may besot them. Tho De
mocracy of this country are emphatical
ly tho bone and sinew, numbering in
its ranks the young, enthusiastic and
generous, while among the veterans
live tho wonted fires of by-gone days.
“ In the lexicon of youth, there should
b*e no such word as “ fail,’ ” because the
mental and physical capabilities of the
sanguine and persevering admit of no
limit. If a man entertain even a faint
idea of defeat he had better at the very
outset, retire from a contest, which will
' inevitably result ingloriously. What a
dragging anchor would bo to a vessel in
a race, is this retarding doubtfulness of
success in any undertaking. Never for
an instant, did a dark doubt dim the
bright prospect of a Now World, which
Columbus saw, with the truthful fore
sight of genius, beyond the trackless
blue expanse. In his bosom all was
buoyant hope, while discontent and de
spair rose in mutiny against him. But
CoLmbus, firm in his resolve, and rest
ing his life upon his faith in the little
pointer of the ocean, aforded another in
duction to establish the proposition,
that success will finally reward the res
olute and brave. Not until with a fat
alist’s perception, “ the conqueror of an
hundred battles” saw the star which, he
supposed, controlled his destiny, dimin
ish in lustre, did the possibility of defeat
enter ins mind, and herald the downfall
of—
“Tho Arbiter of others' fate
A suppliant for his own."
A firm determination on the part of
tbe Democratic party to regain po wor,
will secure success and tho propagation
of those principles of freedom which are
based upon the natural rights of man
kind, even, though there may bo “a
divinity that shapes our ends, rough
how them how we will.”

SIX YEARS MISRULE.
No civilized country has ever been
cursed witli such a set of corrupt and
reckless rulers, as has this Republic since
the advent of Radicalism in 1881. It re
ally seems as if the American people were
given over by Providence to work out
t heir own destruction, or else they would
not have been led, thus long, to endorse
and continue in power the men who are
controlling the destinies of the country.
What the patriotic and sagacious states
men of other days built up, the men now
entrusted with legislative power are pul
ling down. They havelaid rutblesshunds
upon the great structure erected by Wash
ington and ids illustrous compeers, and
have bound the people hand and foot in a
more galling despotism than ever was at
tempted by the King of England upon
tbe American colonies.
Tho Federal Constitution is no longer
regarded as having any binding efficacy
in conducting the government. The
Radical leaders have torn that sacred in
strument into tatters, and its mutilated
appearance is all that is left of what was
once the organic law of the nation. If it
were possible for the statesmen of 1787 to
rise from their graves and revisit the
hoHo ofOongrcou and our State .Leglsia
cures, they would no longer recognize the
work of their own hands, but turn away
in disgust from tbe destructive doings of
their sadly degenerated successors. And
all this has been the work of the last six
eventful years.
Can it be that this state of things is to
continue much longer? Shall thbso en
trusted with power be permitted to go on
in their mad career until the last vestige
of liberty is wrested from us? Is there
no redemption from the thraldom which
is sought to be impojed upon us? Have
we so far degenerated from the splrltand
Catrlotlsm of other days, as to meekly
ow our necks to the yoke of despotism
which is being fastened upon, ua? Wo
believe not. We think the time has ar
rived when' the people are beginning 'to
look at the existing state of things in its
true light, and we feel strengthened in
the belief, judging from the recent elec
tions in Connecticut and elsewhere that
a healthy reaction in popular sentiment
lias set in, and that the six years of Radi
cal misrule will soon come to an end
May heaven speed the day when we shall
again be a united and bappy nation and
enjoy the blessings of a Constitutional
government administered by Democratic
statesmen.— Reading Gazctt.
“Tlio State la U'lilto.”
The above motto is significantly put
forth in capitals in the Hartford Times,
m referring to the lateeleetions. and these
four simple words contain a platform of
principle within themselves, “ The State
ie White!" If we could divest the whole
question now before the country of all
extraneous matter and just getthis sim
ple platform before the people, we might
hope for deliverance. For six yearn a'
party has been working with all the pow
er they could command, to blacken, to
mongrolize the country. The people
most directly affected, resisted but unfor
tunately in resisting set up the issue of
disunion. Thousands who would, not
have fought to niggerize the country, felt
compelledtoresistthateffort. Thatphase
of the question is now past, but still this
party is just as fierce toearryoutitsamai
gamatiou ideas as over, indeed fiercer for
they now assume that because large mases
of the northern peoplesupported them in
the war, to prevent disunion, they are
equally as - earnest in a desire to niggerize
the country.
This we doubt, and, indeed we feel sure
if the real question could be put before the
people, “Do you desire this lo be a white
or a mongrel country ?” the result would
bo an overwhelming verdict for a while
country. Can we not get the issue sim
plified to this. Let ua lift the Democrat
ic party out of its old.ruts, as seems to
have been the case .in Connecticut, and
combine all who want a White country,
on one side, and all who want a Mongrel
country like Mexico on the others The
white party would sweep into power like
a whirlwind.— Day Seek. ,

What they Grow Over!
Our mongrel exchanges, are trying very
hard to suck consolation out of the fact,
that Rhode Island, a little State, not
much -larger than a good sized, potato
patch, and - one that has not elected a
Democratic Governor, from the “ time
that the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary,” did, a few weeks, since,
succeed in re-electing Blundering Burn
side, thenbolltlou candidate. These jour
nals, are very careful not to givtf the par
ticulars of that election. They don’t tell
that Burnside’s majority was 1,200 less
than when he was first elected! they
dod’t tell that the Democracy could have
carried the State, or have reduced his ma
jority at least 1,000 more they made
proper efforts to do so; they don’t tell
that they lost six representatives, neither
do they state that a fair, square fight in
“little Rhody,” would have given that
little pinched up corner of creation to the
Democracy. And yet, such are the facts.
A loss of 1,200 votes, and six representa
tives, to a party, in a state that polls but
11,013 votes, is-certainly a big thlng.for
that party to come over I Ain’t it? Abo
litionism crows because it didn’t loose it
altogether! It feels like the, man
crippled for life—thankful that its no
worse.
But why donlt . these papers tell us of,
the other elections, that nave lately taken
place? Columbus, Milwaukee, Detroit,
and the hundreds pf other towns and
cities throughout the west whore the De
mocracy have swept everything before
them, electing their Mayor and council
men, in places where they have never
had an officer, and Increasing their ma
jorities by hundreds, where they have
been successful before. These facts would
notperhrps be as palatable to some of
their readers. Tbey-show that the "so
ber second thought" of the people is re
turning. That is breaking in upon the
benighted portions of this country, and
that the white.man U bound to be triumph
ant at last —that constitutional liberty
will yet ,be victorious, and that press
mobera, bastile-keepers, wonoh-huggers,
public-robbers,., -Union-destroyers, ana
the whole black brood that Puritanism
has hatched and sent fourth' to curse the
country, will be burled beneath the scorn
and contempt of an Outraged people, so
deep that their whiskey-soaked-carcasses,
will not even scent the air.— Bellefotne

“ My worst fears Of Sheridan hove been

class of the medicantßadicai demagogues,
who are seeking to monopolize the offices

al of them entire strangers to our people.
