“RAVE WE A GOVERNMENT
During the war this question was fre
quently asked by Radical editors and
speakers. After asking it, they gener
ally followed it up with an appeal to
our young men to fly to' arms and “pre
vent a dissolution of the Union.” This
was all very right—very proper; but if
the question was pertinent then, with
how much more force can it bo asked
now. Have we a Government f Aye,
that’s the question. For our part wc
don’t think we have. W’e see ten
(States without representation in Con
gress,without pow6r, and trampled un
der foot by vagrant negroes and hire
lings of an illegal, condemned and infa
mous Bump Congress, The men Yih'
own these States--whl to monks’ -
btvjtQ three deprived of ft ■ '& v m their
management, and b ; acks who
have been living on Ed” . emment rations
for years, are to ro»^ e |!UV3 and Consti .
tutmns for their govcrnment:
c, . - arrangement the paupers
of the Ste_ ie —black paupers at that, and
as they are black —are to
the laws for the government of
the whites. Was there ever on earth a
system of seoundrelism equal to this ?
Was there ever a despotism that ap
proached it in villainy? What would
the people of Pennsylvania think should
Thud Stevens’ Bump Congress attempt
such an ontrage upon them? Would
they submit to it an hour? No, they
would not. “But,” answers the “loy
al” stay-at-home Radical, “these people
of Jtho South were rebels, and we are
now punishing them for the sins they
committed; they tried to break up the
government, and they must be punish
ed for their treason.” Timt’s the talk
of a fool and a coward. God knows the
people of the South have.already been
punished as no people ever before were.
From affluence they have been reduced
to want—from a proud people to a peo
ple of mourning. Every household has
its vacant chair, every township, its
scores of widows. Desolation is stamp
ed wherever our troops set foot, andthe
owi and the bat are the occupants of
charred churches and half-destroyed
seminaries. Persecute such a people!—
Who says'that ? Not the soldier who
fought them; no, no, hut your Sumners,
your Wilsons, your Wades, your Bill
Kelleys, and your John Forneys—men
who never smelled powder, but who
made their piles of gold-bearing bonds
out of the necessities of our people—
these are the men. who continue to cry
out for vengeance; these the creatures
who are urging on the military satraps
and the hirelings of the Freedmen’s Bu
reau to place the Southern States in the
keeping of brutal negroes.
And this is the " reconstruction”
about which we have heard so much.—
Are the people blind that they cannot
see the object of Sumner, Stevens* to?
They desire to see the negroes placed in
power in ten of the Southern States,
merely that they (the Radical conspira
tors,) may capture those States for their
party at the coming Presidential elec
tion. Should the negroes be the con
trolling power in those States they will
of course cast their electoral votes foi
the Radical candidate for President
for negroes and ignorance, brutality and
corruption are the natural allies of Radi
cal treason and villainy.
The question then recurs—have we a
Government? If this state of affairs is
permitted to go on; if our taxes—and
there never was a people on God’s foot
stool taxed ns we are—if our taxes, we
repeat, are to be swallowed up by a
Freed men's Bureau and upstart mili
tary satraps, merely that a thieving,
corrupt, condemned and festering Radi
cal Jacobin party may live, then indeed
we have no Government, no liberties,
no rights. If the President Ims no
powor to put a stop to these stupendous
wrongs, then we had better, with one
accord, acknowledge that our experi
ment at self-government has been a
failure, and that our forefathers made a
woful mistake when they placed this
country in the hands of white men, for
the benefit of themselves and their pos
terity.
"Bruns ov A Feather, jfre.—The DcmorrutM
of New York City imvu nominated ns their can
•illdule forHberllr. Jimmy O'Brien, a graduate of
the Now York Penitentiary. It is eminently
proper that the party which 1h represented In
Congress by a prize-lighting gambler, should ho
governed at homo bv u jail-bird,"— Otrlitlc Ihr
<i Id.
The “Jimmy O’Brien” spoken of
above, was in prison, a few years ago, It
Is true. .He was placed there by Hits
thieving minions of the thieving Lin
coln administration, not because lie had
committed any offence, but because bo
had said what ever// man now admits was
the truth, that the Lincoln’s were “ rob
bing the White House and the Govern
ment." Without warrant and without
law “ Jimmy O’Brien” was arrested and
cast into prison by the infernal villains
nf a corrupt and villainous administra
tion, and was released from confinement
in response to the demands of nn indig
nant community.
But a word to you about “jail-birds,”
neighbor. Is there not a “Jail-bird” in
Congress now? Was not the lion. Mr.
Culver taken from the jail of Venango
county lost winter and placed in his went
In the House of Representatives, at
Washington? He was a good Radical,
hut like many other Radicals, lie had
swindled the community in which ho
lived. Again, we notice that a Radical
State Senator of New York, was arrest
ed a few days since and is now in prison,
charged with bribery and corruption.—
The proof against him ’is positive.—
“Jail birds,” indeed! Why, if all the
Radicals who have fleeced the Govern
ment were in jail, as they should be, the
Radical vote would not count one-half
what it does.
Gen. Locian, who desorbed the De
mocracy to serve the Radicals in Ohio,
and who was loudly praised by them
while they wore using him, is now
coolly told by his new associates that
“ his much speaking” was only prompt
ed by a selfish design to be choseirSenn
ator. Logan has rolled in the mud for
nothing. At one place, while Logan
was making a speech against the De
mocracy, it is reported, a lady arose,
and said substantially;—“Did you not,
John, offer my husband money if lie
would go and join the Southern army?
Hid you not offer to equip him out for
that purpose?” “ No,” replied Logan.
You lie, John,” was the response of
Hie lady, “lam your sister, and the
man you tried to get to Join the rebels
was my husband.”
HRS. LINCOLN THREATENS!
Mrs. Lincoln, widow of the 41 late la
mented,” says she has in her possession
the means with which to crush the Rad
ical party; and she intimates that if the
proposition to raise for her one hundred
thousand dollars by subscription fails,
she “will a talc unfold” that will as
tonish the natives, and particularly na- \
tive Radicals. She says she made thou- j
sands of beggars rich during the fouf |
years her husband was President of tb r 0
United States, and she demands a s»: lUl u
return from these men for the erv k-es
she rendered them.
Mre. Lincoln's threat ’ nas evidently
alarmed many of tl.r iqovnl thievejs «
who hovered nbo- jt , ho Piffle House
during tho wh' jle four year 3 Qf thc war .
Some tIK in | lO p o to silence die widow
by as*a her Ju the public jiress and
.ying to her the epithets so much in
. ogue with Radical slansrwhangors.
But others, more cautious, have opened
a subscription paper for her in New
York, and they invite all who revere
the name of “Lincoln,” to come for
ward and “ give something” in aid of
the widow of the “lamented.” At last
accounts six dollars and two cents had
been gathered in this way. At this rate
we fear it will be a longtime before thc
hundred thousand dollars will be raised.
Beyond question Mrs. Lincoln has
good cause to complain of the “base in
gratitude” of those who are now bask
ing in affluence through her influence
and kindness. Luring the four years
of the Lincoln reign she was the power
behind the throne greater than the
throne itself, and thousands, aye, tens
of thousands of hungry, grasping, un
principled politicians, were made com
fortable for life through her. Some of
those very men are now abusing her.—
We have on our table before us, a dozen
different articles from Radical journals.
One Radical editor says:
“ Mrs. Lincoln was always regarded as a coarse,
vulcar woman, and was not a suitable compan
ion for Mr. Lincoln.”
Another says:
“This woman was more than suspected during
lier occupnncv of the White House, Her desire
for gain and for appropriating Government
properly to her own use was known to many.”
Another says:
<‘Sho (Mrs. Lincoln.! was a pilferer from the
hour she entered the White House to thc hour
Hhelefllt.”
Another says:
“Mrs. Lincoln sympathized with the Rebels
during the whole war, and always shut herself
up to weep when a Union victory was en
ounced.”
From another
“This JndvfMrs. L.) muni be hinnue. Perhaps
she ‘hns in her posscHKlon the means with which
to crush the Radical party,’ for It mom lw>. admit
tod that our party has been a refuge for a great
number of Kcoundrels, but •wore not these scoun
drels her confederates, and can the expose them
■without exposing hersel/f”
Another Radical editor says:
" Mrs. Lincoln did rob the White Uoute both
before and after her husbaud’n death.”
Another says:
“ Later than those daysof herprideand power,
when supposed to be mourning the martyrdom
of Iter husband, the horror of which shook to Its
centre the heartof the nation, Mrs. Lincoln man
aged by circulating the report that she trasubout to be
come u mother, to retain for many weeks the pos
session of the presidential mansion, excluding
Mr. Johnson and his family whilst she was pack
ing up and appropriating to her own use all the
portable valuahles the house contained, Includ
ing the gold forks, spoons, etc., which were no.
more the properly or the President's widow than
the crown jewels of England are the property of
the Queen of England. To so great an extent
was I he plunder curried on that It became neces
sary to'refurnish the executive mansion entirely
upon Mrs, Lincoln's evacuation of It, to render It
tit for the occupuney.of the present incumbent.”
Now, whatever may lie thought of
Mrs. Lincoln, we contend that the’ men
who are now availing her in the coarse
language wo have quotcd.ahove, should
feel ashamed of themselves. Wcshould
all remember that she is a woman and
a widow, and is entitled to the courtesy
due her sex. If she is the bad woman
her rovilors make her out, her husband,
the “late lamented,” was not a whit
i better. He knew of all her doings, and
endorsed them. Ho dismissed a mem
ber of his Cabinet because that-officer
refused to pass a fraudulent bill that
Mw Lincoln had patched up. He
knew that his wife was receiving $5,000
shawls, $3,000 diamond pins, and $l,OOO
dresses, in consideration of her influence
with him (her husband,) in obtaining
swindling contracts and sinecure offices,
lie knew itall, we say,and when Radi
cal editors assail Mrs. Lincoln because
of her delinquencies, they at the same
time assail the character of her deceased
husband, and stamp It as corrupt. If
Mrs. L. was a Rebel, so was A. L. Per
haps this will account for the base be
trayal of McClellan when he was about
to take Richmond, an net of treason
which should have cost every man of
the then administration his head. If
Mrs. L. was robbing the White House
of Government property, and making
money by letting contracts, so was her
liege lord, for he it was who carried Ids
wife’s plans and bargains into execu
tion. The fact is the Lincoln adminis
tration was venal and corrupt to the
core, but we never supposed that Re
publican editors, many of whom shared
in the stealings and corruption, would
assist to expose its rottenness. But so
it is, and unsuspecting people stand
amazed as they contemplate the vil
lainy of a debauched administration.
A Free Countty, where “ Colored”
Men Vote.
They have a government of mixed
races in Mexico—such a govermneut as
Stevens, Sumner and Greeley are striv
ing to force upon this country. How it
works there, it is well to observe, and
profit by the lessons presented. Tlio
following is co Rained in the last news
from our sistr r Republic, where negroes
and Indians ire ns good ns white men,
and whore die blessed “colored” folks
all vote with the whites : , '
“ Robberies and murders are on the
increase everywhere throughout the
Republic; all the roads are unsafe, and
even the people residing in cities are
compelled to watch all night with arms
in their hands to drive'off the bandits.
A band of fifty entered the town of San
Andros, and only owing to the suppli
cation of a relation of the rohber-ebief
residing in tbe settlement, the robbers
.were prevented from sacking the place.
No object is too small for the robbers,
they having stolen miles of telegraph
wire, interrupting the working of the
lines.”
** Th«*ro will be one thousand sermons prone
od in Massachusetts, wo luive boon told, on I
Sunday previous to tbe election, In order to 1
lluenee the voting on the Tuesday following.’
Ncwburyport (Afa-t-t.) Jicrald,
To preach politics and pray for Radi
cal success at the polls, is about all that
churches are kept up for in Massachu
setts. The so-called clergymen of that
infidel State long since adopted the Sa
tanic principle which
■ —-‘‘hart rather reign In Hell than servo In
Heaven."
Horace Greeley declares, through
the Hribune of the ICtli, that “the Repub
licans are bound to go under if they
don’t enfranchise the blacks;” and that
“the Republican party will enfranchise
the blacks or die in the effort.” This
“spitting against the wind” of tho
popular voice is ludicrous. There will
bo no tears or regrets, however, when
the Radical party comes to “ die in the
effort.”
VIEWS OP A RETIRED STATESMAN.
The Hon. 'Thos. Kwing, a well known
Whig Statesman of the past, h: is written a
letter to the. Cincinnati Cbm mcrciat , on
“the cause of Republican hoses at the
recent election in Ohio.” He has never
belonged to thc Democratic party, nor
has he, for some years* take 11 an active
part iu political aflair>. His views are
from ;m elevated point of observation,
o jove the prejudices and passions which
too often warp the judgment of younger
men. With mental powers in full vigor,
whilst ago has removed ambitious aspi
rations, he surveys tho situation of the
country with the calm disinterestedness
of one who has no interest but in the
preservation of its free institutions, and
draws his conclusions in the spirit of a
sincere patriot. His letter is full of wis
dom, divided in its lone, and disinteres
ted in its statements.
There must be many who belonged to
the same political school, and who would
reverence the opinions of one of its most
wise and influential members. To such,
this letter will be especially acceptable at a
time like the present, when the political
atmosphere is obscured by rising clouds,
dark, and ominous of storms and convul
sions. And to all who wish to see the
condition of the country, as it appears to
a retired Statesman, who has heretofore
taken important parts in its attains, the
letter of Mr. Ewing will be perused with
interest. We regret that we cannot print
it entire; we have only room for the fol
lowing concluding paragraphs:
lUwould he a much smaller conces
sion by us to tile African, and more rea
sonable and just’, lo give each negro in
Ohio ten votes than lo give the negro in
the power over us, in the union
involved in this plan of reconstruction.—
It may be said, and truly, that this ine
(jualiiy will be hut temporary; that but
one generation of proscribed white men
have’to the off, and nil will bo right; .a
while man iu the North will at length
become equal to a negro in the South. —
This is true; even leas than the truth ; it
is impossible that these proposed uegro
republics shall, by their own action ever
come into being; or, if created by exter
nal power, shall stand alone for a single
moment. There will be no attempt to
carry them out, or any pretense of the
kind, beyond the next Presidential elec
tion. In the meantime, there will be
war to* Uur knife of black against white,
of barbarian and poverty and power com
bined against intelligence and properly,
which can be restrained only by military
power; and the United States will be
compelled to keep up standing armies in
all the reconstructed States until they
shall be again reconstructed. During this
process, the live Brigadier Generals will
nob only be autocrats each of his district,
but will control the vote of the nine
States, and send-to the Senate eighteen
Senators, to the House eighty two mem
bers, and give, in the electoral college
one hundred votes for'President. This
will be better than the proposed negro
supremacy, as our military olllcers are
generally human and intelligent men,
and know how to govern; but It were not
well to invest even them with such ex
horbilaut powers.
But look further to consequences. If
there shall be a majority of constitution
al votes for one candidate for the Presi
dency, and if the 100 military electors,
added to the minority, make a majority,
of the whole, (here will arise a ques
tion which cun only be decided by the
sword ; and the army of the South, if
united under their live Generals, will set
tle the question of legitimacy at Washing
ton, as the Prrelorian guard were wont to
do at Home, and the Janizaries at Con
stantinople.
For these reasons, I concur with the
President in disapproving this Congres
sional plan of reconstruction; and the
vote at the late election in Ohio has
strongly proumineod the disapproval of
the people, and their objections will not
he removed when they consider it in con
nection with its attendant consequences.
On the whole, I do not think il will he
practicable further to inllame the public
mind against Hie President, or longer to
retain party power by waging war against
him. Whether he betrayed his party .in
the absurd hope of thereby perpetuating
ids own power, or sacrificed power and
party on the altar of his country, ceases
to be a question of national importance,
ft is a question on which opinions dilier,
and can he better settled when the coun
try iB relieved from its present disturbed
condition.
And on reviewing theground, us far as
my limited observation extends, I see no
reason to anticipate a reactionary excite
ment in favor of extreme Radical men or
measures. The tide is setting against
them and cannot be suddenly checked.—
The more conservative Republican lead
ers, if they would retain power, must
learn to know that there is a public opin
ion not created by themselves or change
able at thefr pleasure, which, when it
spunks—as It has spoken—is entitled to
tlieir respect. In obedience to this they
must dethrone their Radical despots, and
conform their action iu Congress to the
expressed public will, and legislate like
rational men, with calmness and consid
eration rather than with passion. It is
hard to ask a political party to acknowl
edge, error and retrace their steps, hut in
thin case the good of the country requires,
and the expressed will ot the people de
mands it. The correction must ami will
be made, either by them or those who
will succeed them, and it were better
done in a conservative spirit by them than
by the Democracy, who will bo otherwise
called to the task under more difficult
complications.
If the Republicans will do this prompt
ly and cheerfully, they will probably re
gain and retain tlieir ascendency, ami
they may rely on the Democracy to ren
der them all needful aid in restoring it.
That party, wherever in power, will un
less they have learned wisdom from hard
experience, adopt objectionable measures,
or bring forward obnoxious men, such us
will destroy tlieir ascendency, if the Re
publicans have conservative wisdom
enough to profit by their errors.
Copperhead vn. Nl^rhcnd,
General Tiios, E. Bowric in his speech
at the Laurel Factory, drew a parallel
between the sobriquet of Copperhead
and Niggerhead, which was received
with applause. He said:
“ Who would not sooner bo a copper
head than a niggerhead ? The Radicals’
had applied the term copperhead to the
Democrats in derision, and as a term of
reproach; but they little knew, when
they did so, that it was symbolic of
great and glorious principles. If it had
reference to the old Continental or Rev
olutionary copper cent, they would find
the head of George Washington on one
side, and the cap of Liberty on the other
—signs and sylbols which inspired our
Revolutionary fathers in the darkest
hours of their struggle from the bonds
of British tyranny. If it had reference
to the coppei head serpent, they forgot
< hat the serpent was God’s emblem of
wisdom, and was pronounced to be the
most subtle of all created animals. The
rod of Aar6n was changed into a serpent
to smite proud Pharaoh's impious hosts,
and so it would be now, this serpent’s
sting would yet destroy the enemies of
constitutional liberty, and overwhelm
the advocates of military despotism, as
it did the Egyptians of old, in one great
gulph of infamy and despair. The coat
of arms of the mother of States was that
of a serpent striking with ids fangs the
crown of a despot, with these words
flowing from his mouth, “ tiic Semper
Uyrannia .” And so will it ever be.—
This copperhead serpent will continue
to strike at the glittering crowns and
royal trapping of military satraps and
would-be monarchy as long as there is a
spark of liberty remaining in the hearts
of an oppressed and down-trodden peo
ple. Democracy is the copperhead that
will perform the glorious work, and let
us all take cheer and be proud of the
name our enemies have given us. The
name of “ niggerhead” is quite as sym
bolical of the political fcclingsand opin
ions of the Radicals. It is truly a rep
resentative ensign, and let it, like the
shirt of Nessus, stick to then), in all
tirao to come, and become as indelible
as the black skins of their proteges.” I

SENATOR BROWXLOW AGAIN. ,
It is marvellous how corrupt and un
scrupulous men, everywhere, step into
the Radical party, and assume its leader
ship. It is probably owing to, tho fact,
that in that party, no profligacy or base
ness appear to injure the standing, or
hurt the influence, of anyone who adopts
itsmaxims, sustains its policy, and says
he believes tho negro is as good as a
white man and equally entitled to take
part in the conduct of our government.
This profession is followed by unlimited
license in every species of abuse and in
famy. Butler, Cameron and Forney are
notable specimens of this kind of men—
their records.arc blurred and blackened
all over with inconsistencies, corruptions,
knaveries, and every thing which honest
men abhor. Brownlow is another of the
same class of men, by nature unscrupu
lous, and without the slightest concep
tion of moral uprightness. The Balti
more Gazette thus presents his portrait
drawn from his own sayings and acts:
A little book containing extracts from
the Knoxville Whig of ten years ago lies
before us, and it is carious to note with
what savage vehemence Brownlow was
then pouring out against the North the
same rage and hate that lie is now direct
ing against the people of the South. In
October, 1857, he was raving fearfully
against “pious freedom shriekera” and
the “ big buck negro Douglass.” If the
latter should venture to reply to him “X
would serve him,” he says, “ as Rusk of
Arkansas, did Greeley in Washington for
his violence. I would wear him out on
the pavement with a big stick.” He
writes to the New York Times an account
of a crime recently committed by a negro,
and says : “ For this the negro was burn
“ ed alive, ten or fifteen hundred of the
“beat citizens of the county attending
“ and aiding and abetting. I repeat it was
“ all perfectly right.” He cites Scores of
Scripture texts to demonstrate the law
fulness of slavery, and reviles the “ vaga
bond philanthropists of the North” for
denouncing it. He searches - the records
of crime to prove that the New England
btates, including that of New York, are
so many “ nurseries of all that is wicked,
immoral, demoralizing and dangerous, so
cial and political, which now threatens
the overthrow of virtue and religion in
the Union.” He says “ the course of the
Northern people,” if continued “ five
years,” longermust resultiu a war, which
would end in the destruction of the Re
public. He terms the “ villainous aboli
tionists” “slave-stealing people,” “pious
thieves,” and “ God-forsaken hypocrites.”
He tells the Northern people that there is
not a runaway slave north of Mason’s and
Dixon’s line “ who is not as honorable
and worthy of confidence as any Black
'Republican editor, politician or preacher
in all yoiir ungodly dominions.” He ex
presses a strong wish to meet Theodore
Parker “ on Northern soil and to spit up
on him before a public audience,” and is
especially disgusted with that low-down
demagogue and third-rate “ man,” Hen
ry Wilson. Such was Brownlow, ed
itor and parson, in 1857. Six years after
wards he said of the Southern people:—
“.Let them be punished—let them be im
poverished-let them be slain, and after
slain, let them bo damned.” Ho is par
son still, he says, but ho is also Governor
and Senator elect. What he will next
say or do in the new and congenial sphere
into which ho is about to be translated
time must show. But it is safe to predict
that oven amidst the powerful rivals by
wnom he will find himself surrounded ho
will achieve a pre-eminent reputation as
a master of brutal billingsgate.
The Reading Gazette declares that
the Radical newspapers are preparing
the public mind for an outrage at Har
risburg, in January next, similar to the
one inaugurated by the same party, un
der another name, in December *1838.
The outrage then commenced with the
attempt “by means of fraudulent re
turns, to countout the Democratic Sena
tors and Representatives from Philadel
phia County, and thus obtain control
of the Legislature. This accomplished,
their next step Mmuld have been to de
clare Governor Ritner re-elected, and
thus set at defiance the will of $ large
majority of their fellow-citizens, as ex
pressed through the ballot-box. But
the infamous plot failed, thanks to the
stern and determined Democrats who
had assembled at Harrisburg, and the
guilty originators were glad to make
their escape from an indignant people
through a back window of the Senate
Chamber.”
The Gazette continues: - ’
T, Ewing.”
“The outrage contemplated at this
time is, by means of cooking up fraudu
lent returns, to cast out the two Demo
cratic Senators elected in the Ferry dis
trict, and the Democratic Senator elect
ed in the Lycoming District, and thus
reduce the Democratic strength from
fourteen to eleven. They well know,
that notwithstanding the rascally gerry
mander of the Senatorial districts
throughout the State, they will lose the
Senate next year, ns well as the House,
and they are seeking to prevent this by
means of fraud and perjury.
To bo forewarned is to be
and it will bo well for the Democracy
of this State to prepare in time to resist
the villainous attempts of the bold, bad
men who are again seeking to deprive
them of their just rights. The Radical
lenders will resort to anything—any
scheme, no matter how dishonest and
base—to retain their hold on the Legis
lative power of the Commonwealth;
and it is absolutely necessary for the
people to rise in their might, and give
the scoundrels to understand that the
sanctity of the ballot-box shall not be
invaded, nor the election of 18G7 treated
as though it had not been held. The
men of 1838 set us a praiseworthy ex
ample, in their resistance to the con
spiracy of that day; let us not fail to
profit by their determined and success
ful eflorts, to prevent revolution and
bloodshed at the next meeting of the
Legislature. We have discharged our
duty to the public by giving this timely
note of warning. Let the people be
prepared to do theirs when the proper
time arrives, and all will bo well.”
The Democracy of Pennsylvania are
preparing for just such a contingency,
and will bo ready to maintain their
rights in a proper wanner,
Later.
THE SEGBUniSO OF VIBOIXIA.
The following article, copied from the
Baltimore jSlm, of Friday last, will give
our readers some idea of the working of
Reconstruction in Virginia;
The Suffrage Spectacle in Virgin
ia.—Whilst Ohio has refused, by an im
mense majority, suffrage to the compara
tively small number of colored men in
her population, Virginia, with her vast
body of emancipated slaves, has just been
subjected to the experiment of enforced
negro suffrage in an election for a con
vention to form the organic law of the
commonwealth. We are much mistaken
if the parade of returns from that election,
and the figures, facts and incidents con
nected with it do not greatly accelerate
the reaction at the North which has been
manifested in the late elections in North
ern Slates, The spectacle which has been
exhibited in the Virginia election may
well cause all men of any capacity of rna
souand forecast,evenin the radical ranks,
to pause and rellect what is to be the end
of such things. What wo have just seen
in Virginia is solid organization of blacks,
as completely under the control of their
leaders as an army under its gen
eral in time of war, not only marching to
the polls to vote down conservative intel
ligence, but to vote down all moderate
nieh including those well-known os the
prominent Union men of the £tatc, and
literally to hunt down, to pelt with stones
and threaten to hang those of their own
collor who attempted to vote the conserv
ative ticket, and furiously to assault the
police wheu they endeavored to protect
Conservative men of their own color Irom
their violence. One illustration, out of
many, of the blacks in Virginia have
compelled their followers to draw tholine
between white and black, and make al
legiance to one Hunnicutt, an aggrnrian
white radical, instead of Union princi
’ pics, the standard of qualifications in the
lute election of delegates to the conven
tion, is the defeat of Stearns,
Esu., in the county of Henrico. Mr.
Stearns is a Northern man by birth, lin
original Union man of thestrougestkiud,
a gentleman of high character, great en
ergy, and line business talents, and has
large interests identified with the welfare
of Richmond and Virginia. This gentle
man recognized as one of the most infiu
cntial republicans of Virginia, has been
beaten by the president of a local negro
league, who is understood not to have re
ceived a white vote in the county. Mr.
Stearns has been altogether disinclined
to go to the convention, and only con
sented in order to save the county from
being represented by a man thoroughly
incompetent. Another case is.that of a
well-known leading republican, Lewis
McKenzie, Esq., of Alexandria, a gentle
man of talents and political experience,
formerly justly acknowledged by the col
ored men.as their “ best friend,” who re
ceived only ninety-nine votes whilest the
selected chief of the extremists received
one thousand four hundred and eighty
seven.
The frauds in registration ; the injus
tice of the apportionment, which, with a
large white majority in the State, so ar
ranged the district as to insurea majority
to the blacks in the convention ; the con
temptuous arraying of the blacks against
old union men; the infuriated and blood
thirsty assaults upon those of their own
color who declined to vote their ticket,
and whose lives were only saved by the
interposition of the military and the po
lice, furnished ample food for reflection of
ail in the North who read the returns of
the Virginia election, and will intensify
the reactionary tide which has already
set in so strongly from Pennsylvania, and
other Northern States, and has compelled
radical leaders like Chief Justice Chase
and the Governor elect of Ohio, feeling
the ground giving away under them, to
abandon an untenable and impracticable
position and seek safety in more conserv
ative ideas.
The reaction which has begun in the
North, and which thescenes just witness
ed in Virginia will greatly strengthen,
arises, from no animosity to the negro,
and from no desire to interfere with.that
improvement of his condition and char
acter which under a healthful law of pro-,
gression, must take place, and which all
men of just and benevolent dispositions,
both North and South, desire to promote.
But all sensible and right-feeling people
cun only see in the foolish and unnatural
process which is producing such fruits of
license and brutality as have been borne
in the Virginia election, great injury and
ultimate ruin, not only to the whites, but
to the bracks of the South. The more re
flecting of the blacks themselves in Vir
ginia appreciate the danger of this state
of things to their own race, and a promU
nent mail amongthem, Solon Johnson, of
Richmond', issued a card on the eve of the
election in which he warns the colored
men that the political slavery to which
they are-reduced by designing lenders, is
a worse slavery than it was before, be
cause it is of the mind ; that they ought
to avoid lines being drawn between the
white and colored people; that the gov
ernment was made for the good of all,
white and black, and If they persist in
supporting the extremists of that S.tate,
their friends at the North, who will* not
permit them to vote among them, will
not permit them to vote at the South.—
The colored men of Maryland, who have
enjoyed greateropportunities of education
and elevation than their race in more
Southern States, cannot fail to recognize,
with all intelligent men elsewhere, the
force of the exhibition which has been
made in Virginia, and the utter futility of
such disgusting procedures to theadvauce
ment of their race. AnytWng so ridicu
lous and monstrous cannot stand—the
evil must in time cure itself.
TI»o Negro "Victory lu Virginia—The Rads.
Becoming Alarmed.
Some of the Radical papers are be
coming alarmed at the results of their
military negro-suffrage policy-which
they have inaugurated by brute force in
the South. They fear the effect of such
so-called elections upon the North as they
have lately had ip Virginia, where the
negroes have carried everything by ter
rorism and ruffianism at the polls,—
Thus the Cleveland Herald , the leading
Radical organ of Northern Ohio, throws
the following anchor to the windward.
It says;
“If the telegraphic accounts of the
election in Richmond are correct, and
no satisfactory explanation is given why
the polls were, in some instances, kept
open beyond the prescribed time, the
Radical victory is one of which the Re
publican party lias little reason to be
proud. It were better for the Conven
tion movement to be defeated, and the
State kept under military rule for anoth
er twelve-mouth, than that it should bo
carried by means savoring of artifice or
force.
“The election to the Convention of
such extremists as Hunnicutt and his
confreres, of itself bodes no good'; lor
they will be apt to put forward meas
ures si) violent and proscriptive, as to
be offensive to the great mass of Repub
licans themselves. The inflammatory
• harangues of Hunnicutt to the negroes
during tlie past few months, and his re
ported violence in the election, seriously
damages the Republican cause in Vir
ginia, and stamped him a demagogue
of the worst and most dangerous stripe.
Hie disorderly conduct of the negroes
at the polls was a natural result of suoli
appeals, and went far to justify the sol
id opposition of the whites to a measure
that looked to subjecting the State to
negro rule.
“There may bo another side to the
story, which Is not yet told, but on the
present showing it would be better—if
the Virginia Convention has been car
ried by a bare majority, obtained by
such practices as are alleged, in Rich
mond—that the Convention be declared
defeated, or the entire election procood
mgs. in Richmond, at least, beset aside
ns illegal. Congress which sends com
mitteoa to investigate the election pro
oeedings in Kentucky, and to ascertain
whether Maryland has a fairly devised
Constitution, can scarcely accept a Con
stitution for Virginia about the origin
of which clings even a taint of dishon
esty, or a suspicion of violence.”
An exchange says: “General Grant
deserves the thanks of all honest men
for exposing Governor Geary’s attempt
ed fraud upon the ballot-box at Port
Delaware.” Yea he does,
THANKSGIVING.
The Governor has issued the following
proclamation:
From tbo creation of tho world, in all
ages and climes, it has been customary to
set apart certain days for special religious
observance. This has not always been
influenced by the light of Christian
knowledge, nor by any proper conception
of tho character of that Great Being,
“who ruleth the earth in righteousness,”
and “whodaily loadeth us with his bene
fits;” but by an innate sense of the exist
ence of an over-ruling Power, by which
tho world and all it contains are govern
ed and controlled. Aided by the dictates
of cultivated reason and tho teachings of
Divine revelation, wo, however, are
taught to recognize in that Supremo Ru
ler a Heavenly Father, to whom wo are
indebted for existence and all the bless
ings we enjoy, and to whom we owe con
stant and fervent thanksgiving and
praise. It is He who “ visitetli the earth
and watereth it;” who “setteth the fur-,
rows ami blesscth tho springings there
of;” who “crownetli tho year with His
goodness, and whoso paths drop fatness;”
who “ clothest the pastures with iiocks,
and coverest the valleys with corn who
“maketh tbe out-goinga of the morning
ami of tho evening to rejoice;” who “ is
our refuge and strength ;” who “mnketh
wars to cease,” and “ saveth us from our
enemies;” whoso “throne is forever and
ever,” and who “blesseth the nations
whose God is the Lord.”
On ail aides we have increased assur
ances of tho “loving-kindness” of an
All-wise Parent of Good, who has con
ducted our nation through a long and ter
rible war, and permitted our people to
repose once more in safety, “ without any
to molest them or to make them afraid.”
The monstrous sentiment of disunion is
no longer tolerated. Tho Flog, the
Union, and the Constitution are esteemed
as the safe-guurdsof the rights and liber
ties of the people and arc revered and de
fended as the ark of their political safety.
A kind Providence has notgrown wea
ry of supplying our continuous wants. —
A bounteous harvest has rewarded the
labors of tho husbandman. Flocks and
'herds are scattered in countless numbers
over our valleys and hills. Commerce is
uninterrupted, and vessels laden with the
products of nature and of art, speed, un
molested, over the trackless deeps. Nei
ther pestilence, famine, political or sucial
evils, financial embarrassments or com
mercial distress have been permitted to
stay tho progress and happiness of the*
people of this great Commonwealth.; but
peace, health, education, morality, relig
ion, social improvement and refinement,
with their attendant blessings, have filled
the cup of comfort and enjoyment to ov
erflowing.
Recognizing our responsibility to Him
who controls the destinies of nations as
well os of individuals, and “from whom
cometh down every good and perfect
gift,” and to whom we are deeply indebt
ed for all these and the richer blessings
of oqr common Christianity, let us uni
tedly give our most devout gratitude and
hearty thanksgiving. •
I, therefore, do hereby recommend that
THURSDAY, TUB 2STII DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT,
bo set apart as a day of praise and thanks
giving, that all secular and worldly busi
ness be suspended, and the people assem
ble tn their various places of worship to
acknowledge their gratitude and offer up
prayers for a continuance of Divine favor.
Given under my hand and the great seal
of the. State, at Harrisburg, this thirty
first day of October, in the year of our
’ Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-seven, and of the Commonwealth
tiie ninety-second.
John W. Geary.

F. Jordan, Secretary of State.

The following extract from a letter late
ly addressed to a citizen of Wisconsin by
Postmaster General Randall will bo
found interesting:
“ You ask me what you ought to do
about supporting the Republican ticket.
I hesitate to give you advice about your
own action, but I have no hesitation in
telling you what I would do, if there to
vote this fall. I would never vote for
any man, on any ticket, State or local,
who endorses the resolution of the Re
publican State convention favoring the
inneachment of the President. There is
neither reason nor excuse for this war up
on President Johnson. All investigation
uml researches have failed to dlaeoverany
•' high crimes or misdemeanors”' commit
led by him. There is no case to bo found
where ho has violated the Constitution.
He has endeavored to bring about, upon.,
just terms, a complete restoration of the
Union, He has followed the policy of
Mr. Lincon, which all Republicans once
approved. He has had no other policy,
lie never has made a speech, or said a
word, or done an act favoring disloyal
representation in Congress. Ifhla policy,
which is tho same as Mr. Lincoln's was.
had been carried out, to-day there would
have been perfect peace: the Union would
have been fully reatoreii, and representa
tives, loyal all through the war, from the
southern States, would bo filling the va
cant seats in the House of Representa
tives. Tho Republican party of Wiscon
sin, to-day, does not favor a single princi
ple upon which tho government carried
on the war suppressing tho rebellion. —
Southern rebels said they could take
States out of the Union. Tho govern
ment said they could not. The Republi
can party said they could not. We had
a war to prevent States from going out. —
The government was successful, and now
tho great Republican party, through
its leaders in Congress, sftys that the
States did get out, and are outand by leg
islation,so treats them. Leading Repub
licans openly avow that the restoration
acts are outside of tho Constitution. In
other words they admit that, with their
oaths fresh on their lips to support the
Constitution .of the United States, they
violated these oaths and passed laws out
side of the Constitution. Because Presi
dent Johnson is opposed to such a course,
he is denounced as a renegade and traitor,
and threatened with impeachment. He
■is to be impeached because ho is opposed
to violations of the Constitution, and the
Republican party of Wisconsin- favors
this. If a majority of the people of Wis
consin are not mad, they will follow tho
example of Connecticut ami - California
and Ohio and Pennsylvania, and join
New York in rebuking this wild mis
chievous course. If our people want ten
States of the Union put into the hands of
men unfit to handle the machinery of
government, all business prostrated and
all rights of persons and property, destroy
ed, they will continue to uphold the.
; course that has lately been pursued by
tlie dominant party of the country. It is
time such work was stopped, and tho
country restored, as it ought to have been, -
long ago, if the Republican party had not
abandoned its own principles and made
war upon the President because he was
true to the principles upon which the peo
ple elevated him to his high office.
