“ You rejected the Constitutional amend-

rnulfflßaV reject it when they were not
ClulfMrrb — is a strange Inconsisten
cy abed! our modern Radicals. In
some things they desire to see the States
of the South exercise the rights guaran
teed them by the Constitution, but in
the next breath they deny that they are
States, but mere “divisions,” to be
governed by military satraps. They are
States to pay taxes, and if a foreign war
was on hand they would be States to
furnish their quota of men to the army,
but they are not States when they ask
to be represented in Congress—they are
“ military divisions.”
The extract above, taken from Wil
son’s speech, is a fair sample of all the
speeches, that have been delivered be
fore the people of the South by the
Northern slnngwhangers whose pres
ence now afflicts the people of that sec-,
tion of our country. Taunts, jeers and
threats compose the speeches of Wilson,
Kelly,' Hunnicutt, “ Gov.” Hamilton,
and other Imported mischief-makers. —
We have read several of theirharangues,
and wo can say candidly, that we have
not found a logical or statesman-like,ar
gument in one of them. All is defama
tion, abuse and sneers. It must be evi
dent to every man of sense that these
political colporteurs visit the South for
the express purpose of exasperating the
people, black and white, and to prevent,
if possible, the “ reconstruction" about
which they prate so constantly. “The
array is at my back, and 1 bid- defiance
to those who do not agree with me,”
shouted the valiant Kelly at Mobile.—
He might‘have told his audience also
that during the war he had no army
either at his back or at his front. He
preferred to occupy a cushioned chair in
Congress and deal in fat contracts. He
did hot want to go South then; nor
did Wilson, or Hunnicutt, or “ Gov.”
Hamilton. Oh, no—they had other fish
to fry at that time, and they fried them.
It is a matter of congratulation, that
with the exception of the riot got up by
Kelly at Mobile, no serious disturbance
has followed any of the speeches deliv-;
ered by these Northern vandals. The
negroes, it is true, have become demor
"alized, turbulent, and worthless in the
cities where these incendiary harangues
were made, but the white men of those
localities put up with the inflictions
with a noble forbearance, being deter
mined, it appears, not to be goaded into
violence by anything these spouters
would say or do. They (the Southern
people,) knew perfectly well the object
Wilson, Kelly and their associates in
mischief and crime had in view in ma
king a raid into the Squth at this time,
and they determined to disappoint
them, jf possible. In most countries

and anarchy, they are taken by the
throats and hanged or sent to prison.—
But the people of the South, subdued,
ruined, and almost starving, resolved
to treat their tormentors with civility
and at the same time with contempt.
What an outrage upon decency—what
a burning disgrace upon Northern char
acter 1s it, to see men calling themselves
■ the representatives of a party, visit one
section of their country to foment dis
cord and angry feeling. Such men are
cravens at heart, and have the will but
not the courage to commit murder, if
feat were necessary ti save their wick
ed, festering, corrupt and God-forsaken
party or faction from going to pieces.
mijisictrr.
Among other long-haired bipeds who
have been sent down South to stir up
bad blood between the two races, is the
notorious and infamous Hunnieutt.—
This fellow is known to be one of the
worst and most degraded men in the
country—a man who could calmly look
on and seethe whites and negroes of the
South indiscriminately butchered pro
vided it would make him money. A
few nights ago this wretch made a speech
to the darkies of Petersburg, which
brought out a letter in the Index, writ
ten by a former acquaintance, showing
up this vile,old hypocrite. What a por
trait for a “loyal” man! It says:
“ Hunnicut married Miss ,o( Luenburg,
some thirty years ago, becoming the owner, by
his marriage, of a comfortable farm and quite a
large number of negroes. Ho was a Methodist
preacher at the time, but was subsequently ex
pelled from the Conference for doctrinal heresies,
and became tbe founder of a new sect—a branch
unrecognized of tbe Baptist persuason. He was
known for miles around as a cruel master, was
~. undoubtedly a negro trader, and for the slightest
would buck and gag bis slaves, and lay
out In the sun for hours. Finally he sold
all bis negroes, and invested' the proceeds in a
stock of groceries, aud carried on a small country
business (the usual routine of cheating negroes,
hud encouraging theft,) until he failed. |
11 The closing act of ms residence in Luenburg,
and your correspondent’s acquaintance with
him, was In this wise; He had taken Into, bis
house, os a servant, apoorwhltegirlof the coun
try, whom be seduced, Concealment becoming
impossible after a while, his wife made discov
ery and complaint, whereupon this model Chris
tian and philanthropist horsewhipped the Injur
ed woman, and ran off with tbe girl bo had min
ed, leaving his family perfectly unprovided for
and dependent upon tbe charities ox the people
he now abases so roundly.”
- He is Just the man to advance “ great
moral ideas.” . None better.
Petitions have been presented to the Mayor
of Mobile, urging him to appoint one half of nls
Bollcei from the freedraen, It is understood that
i®, Mayor will comply with the request of the
petitioners.” —Radical paper.
So 1 The “ Mayor” of Mobile holds
his office by appointment of the milita-*
ry satrap for that “ district,” and is, we
learn, an imported Yankee. Of course
he will “ comply with the request of
the petitioners,” and appoint one-half
of his police force from the negroes.—
Anything calculated to outrage public
opinion and create ill-feeling will be re
sorted to by the satraps and the hired
tools under them. Appointing negroes
on the police to arrest and browbeat
white men, is about the best plan yet
concocted by the Radicals to create riots
and engender deadly hate and heart
burnings. How would the people of
Carlisle like this kind of government? /
How long would they permit negroes to
act as police officers? Let any white
man ask himself these questions.

“LOYAI. LEAeVE.”
A Tart Reply. From Him.
That immaculate organization of pa
triots yclept ,the “ Loyal League”' of
New York, composed mainly If not en
tirely of public-spirited citizens ibho
didn't make anything out of the war (?)
assembled, in special meeting on the
evening of the 23d inst., “ for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the
conduct of Horace Qreely, a member of
the Club, who has become a bondsman'
for Jefferson Davis, late chief officer of
the rebel government.”
Mr.Qreoly had notice served.on him
to appear before the League on the eve
ning named, and defend-himself if he
could. If unable to satisfy the patriots
belonging to the organization, he was
to be expelled'from the concern. Gree
ly, the old philosopher—the brains and
father of the Radical faction—on receiv
ing the notice, roused himself like a
lion from his lair,"rubbed his eyes, and
concluded that as the well-fed patriots
of the League were “narrow-minded
blockheads,” he would treat with_the
contempt it deserved their impudent
summons. He replied to them, howev
er, in the Tribune of the day following
—the 23d. His letter is the most caus
tic tiling we have ever read. We have
only room for the concluding portion of
it. Greely says to the Leaguers:
“ Gentlemen—l shall not attend your meeting
this evening. 1 have an engagement out of town,
and shall keep It. Ido hot recognize you as ca~
pable of Judging, or even fully comprehending
me. You evidently regard mo as a weak sentf
mentallsl, misled by a maudlin philosophy. I
arraign you as narrow-minded blockheads, who
would like to bo useful to a great and good cause,
but don’t know how. Your attempt to base a
groat, enduring party on the hate ana wrath nec
essarily engendered by a bloody civil war, Is as
though you should plant a colony on an Iceberg
‘ which bad somehow drifted into a tropical ocean.
I tell you here, thatbut of a,llfe carnestly devo
ted to the good of humankind, your children will
select my going to Richmond' and signing that
bail-bond of Jefferson Davis as the wisest act.
and will fool that It did more for freedom and
humanity than all of you were competent to do,
though you hod lived to the ago of Methuselah.
I ask nothing of you, then, bat that you proceed
to 3’our end by a direct, frank, manly way. Don’t
sidle off into a mild resolution of censure, but
move the expulsion which you purposed, and
which I deserve If I deserve any .reproach whab
ever. All I care for is, that you make this a
square, stand-up fight, and record your Judg
ment by yeas and nays. I qpre not- how many
vote with me,nor iiow many vote against me;
for I know that the latter will repent it In dust
and ashes before three years have passed. Un
nderstund, once for all, that I dare you and defy
you, and that I propose to fight It out on thoJmc
that I have held from the day of Leo’s surrender.
Horace Qreely.”
Good for Greely. He replied to the
impertinent “ blockheads” just as they
deserved. It waa a piece of unmitigated
presumption for them to threaten Gree
ly. They, forgot that the old philoso
pher owned every mother’s son of them
—that he was the head and front, the
master of them all. -They to threaten.
him, indeed! The Radical party was
organized, made and christened by,
Greely, and he was not to be threatened
and browbeat by the little whiffets who,
by Greeley’s permission, hod been al
lowed to grow fat, sleek and rich from
the patronage and stealings of his party.
He calls them “ narrow-minded block
heads,” and so they are. He might
have, with equal force and truth, brand
ed them ak dissemblers, who. cried out
“ loyalty, loyalty,” during the whole
four years of the war for the express
purpose of attracting attention from the
real object they had in view—robbing
the Government of hundreds of millions
of dollars. Greely threatens them, how
ever, and intimates that he may yet ex
pose them. He knows all about the do
ings of these “ Loyal League” patriots.
He has a good knowledge of the sums
they made, and the way they made it.
Greely, himself, fanatic as he is, has a
reputation for honesty. Ho has. per;
■iimron omer-men-or-ftis-party to steal
as muclfas they pleased, but. he never
stealsjiimself. He is rich as cream, but
he made his money with his Tribune, —
He can, if lie will, make a revelation
that will astound the country, but whe
ther he has the back-bone to do so re
mains to be seen.
tATEB-“ TRIAL” OF GREELY t
Ityly Inquisition by the “ Narrow-Mind
ed illoclthends.’*
TRIUMPH OF MR. GREELY.
The Loyal League of New York con
vened in special meeting on the evening
of the 23d, according to the call. We
learn from the New York papers that
the arrangements for the inquisition
were more than ordinarily extensive,
and the interest it created was increased
by the bold and defiant letter of Mr.
Greely, which evoked intense chagrin
from his opponents. It was determined
to so organize tire nucleus of the assem
) binge that the friends of Davis’ bonds
man would be comparatively powerless
when a vote should be taken. Accord
ingly, only the red-hot Radicals of the
League received special invitations, but
many of those who favor conservatism
appeared in the hall, and the tactics of-
Greely’s enemies were thus nullified by
unexpected opposition.
A long and windy discussion ensued,
on points of order and various efforts to
adjourn, to adopt substitutes, and to
eject Horace from the Club. The whole
affair was finally settled by the adoption
of the following resolution :
REaoi.VED.That there 1b uotblng in the action
of the Hon. Horace Groely relative to the bailing
of Jefferson Davis which calls for any proceeding
on tbe part of this Club.
The resolution passed by the following
vote—yeas 106, nays 89. Greely was
therefore “ acqui(t7d,” and the Radicals
of the League sneaked home feeling that
old Horace was still trump. The “ nar
row-minded blocklfeads” had been dis
astrously defeated, and the philosopher
of the white coat continues, to,lash them
soundly. Good for them.

Jurors were then drawn.”— Exvhnntjr.
It will bo some relief to our readers
to know that the “ Judge” who made
the above decision Is “ n Massachusetts
man by birth.”' None but a mouthing
Yankee and dishonest man could have
made it. Because the negroes were not
citizens, that,is, not voters, previous to
and (jiuring the rebellion, they are not
to be held accountable for their sympa
thies with the South, whether that sym
pathy was' voluntary or involuntary I
The negroes who Jiad been summoned:
as Jurors, felt that they could not, with
out committing perjury, take the iron
clad oath. “ Their sympathies, in the
late rebellion, had been with the South,"
they frankly said. But the Yankee
Judge at once met. tho difficulty by in
forming the negroes-that up to the’date
of their freedom' (18(10,) they were not
responsible even for voluntary, acta I—
“Three sable Jurors wore then drawn.”
Such is Yankee law and justice. In
theeyesof the advocates,
a black skin covers all imperfections—
Oven “ disloyalty.” Tho negroes of the
Southern States it is well known, were
“ loyal” to the South during the whole
four years of tho war. Not one in a
thousand was known to sympathize
with the North. Notwithstanding the
bribes offered and the promises made to
the negroes, they remained true ns steel
to the Southern cause, and assisted, in
every way possible, to advance that
cause. Wily Abolitionists, during" the
rebellion, tried their best to induce the
negroes of the South to rise in rebellion
nganist their masters and friends, and
butcher and massacre men, women and
children; but the negroes, more honor
able than the cowardly Abolitionists,
and being at the same time wedded to
.the so-called Southern Confederacy,
spurned the advice given them, and
clung to the people they loved. But
now that Southern courts are presided
over by imported Yankees, or bought
up Southern toadies, these “ rebel” ne
groes are to be considered good Union
men;, but white men who participated
in the Southern cause are to be ostra
cised, disfranchised, and declared ufiiit
to sit as Jurors. Was there ever, since
the days of Jeffreys," such unmitigated
scoundrelisro exhibited on- tho Bonoh V
A negro may have been a rebel, but no
matter, he is now to vote at all elections,
sit on juries, and have all the privile
ges that are enjoyed by Gem Grant; but
a white man who was a rebel must boar

Truly, the negro party is “ progressive.”

“If this Is meant as an Insinuation that thoed-
Uor and proprietor of the Herald, or any one
having the authority to act for him or It, over
asked the editors of the Volunteer to speak a word
In behalf of any one holding or seeking office, we
pronounce It an utter, malicious falsehood.”—
Carlisle Herald,
We understand that certain parties
have recently had considerable difficul
ty in exactly Who is “ the
editor and proprietor of the Herald,”
and will not enter upon the discussion
of that question. There can be no diffi
culty, however, in establishing the fact
that the senior Rheera, who transacts
did ask the influence of one of the edi
tors' of the Volunteer to have his son re
tained in office at Washington. Nor
would there be any difficulty in estab
lishing the fact that this same gentle
man did tender the support of the Car
lisle Herald to the administration ol
President Johnson, on condition that
George Zlnn, Ksq.—who was denounced
as an infamous Radical—should be re
moved from his position as Postmaster,
and one of the Rheems appointed in his
place. Speaking for “ the, editor and
proprietor of the Herald,” this gentle
man declared that the policy of Andrew
Johnson S was identical, with that ol
Abraham Lincoln, and he was willing,
for the small quid pro quo of the Carlisle
Post Office, to - support. that policy
through thick and thin. It will also be
easily proven that it was only the reso
lute determination and conduct of cer
tain here and in
Washington, which prevented the Car
lisle Herald from selling out the Repub
lican party of Cumberland county, body
and breeches, for the moderate compen
sation of $2500 a year. Wo speak where
of we know, and testify that which we
have seen.
The idea of the Ha-aid faction having
their feelings hurt by any intimation of
ours that they had a strong inclination
towards government pap,/strikes us as
rather absurd... They should have thick
er skins by this time, for a more invet
erate pack of office seekers, from sire
to son, does not exist in the country.—
They are willing to take anything,
from ward tax-collector to Superintend
ent of Public Printing, and it will be a
lucky day for them when the public es
timation of their abilities happens to
accord with their own modest self-ap
preciation. ‘

others, who did not strike for their coun

two newspaper establishments, “both'
.dallies,” are sustained, and the exp apses;
of a summer, trip to Jiurupe are paid.—'
The Washington correspondent of the'e
'Express says: / • -
“It Is stated on good authority that the
franchise of the Baltimore and Potomao
.Railroad Company has been sold to the
Baltimore ana Ohio Railroad Company
forssoo,ooo. Of thlsamount John W. For
ney received $200,000, a Mr'. Jdoyd, from
Williamsport, Pa., now in the Clerk's
Office House of Representatives, $45,000,
and other persons connected with the so
cMed'enterprise the balance.”
’All we have to soy.obout this Is, thot If
\true, tho parties with Fornoy at their
lead, hove perpetrated a base fraud on
the public. During tbe last session of the
Maryland Legislature, the persons own
ingl, the charter of the “Baltimore and
Potomtq Railroad'' resisted what they
cubed tte ellort of the monopolists of the
Baltimore! and Ohio Railroad to .have
their charter repealed by the Legislature,
on tbe ground thattho Baltimoreaiid
.Ohio company was i huge monopoly,
con trolllngibe on ly road leading to; Wash
ington, auu if they were not Interfered
with they would build arlval road. The
Maryland Legislature believed them, and
refused tp repeal the charter. But. the
Legislature of Maryland had scarcely ad
journed, when these great champions of
the causepf the people,and anti-monopo
lists, win/ bad enlists <1 on their side the
entire press of tho country for a rival
route to jlVashlngton. sett out to the very
monopoly they professed to be contending
with, (ur a mUion of dollars. The
chief Speculator pedketa his two hundred
. thousand dollars and runs away to Eu
rope,
This, we say, if true , is a base, con
temptable fraud, which mightbeall right
for steak gamblers, railroad contractors
and speculators, who follow that sort of
business to make fortunes; but (orapub
lic man, the chief officer of the United
States Senate, a professed statesman, a
’loud-mouthed champion of the people,
and their rights and privileges, to bo the
leader,;. the principal receiver of the
“ black-mail,” is nothing less tbnn a dis
graceful pub. to scandal— Lancaster Hx
aminer and Herald.
This is hard talk from a Radical news
paper, It is said, that Forney received a
to hayg the bill passed through
the Senate. But Forney Is “ loyal.”
