Address, BRATTON 4 KENNEDY, Onrlialti JPenn'a. A Dejiocbatic Holiday.— The coming Fourth of July will see the grandest assemblage of Democrats ever convened on this-continent. It will be a gathering of the true and patriotic men of the nation in the great city of New York, to takecpurisel together for the good of the; peSple. And, while . 'our wisest men are thus spending the na tional holiday in patriotic deliberations, the Cincinnati Enquirer appropriately suggests that the masses of the Demo cratic party who remain at home, hold . meetings all over the country in their respective neighborhoods on Indepen dence day. ,We deem that suggestion eminently timely and proper. Let there be a gathering together of Demo crats all over the country on the 4th of July. It will bo an admirable method of inaugurating the most important Presidential campaign in which the American people ever engaged. Let arrangements be made for carrying out . the suggestion all over, the country,— Every election district- should have ah *• assemblage of the Democratic voters, With their wives and children, on the coming Fourth of July, it Is a Demo cratic holiday, and should be celebrated os such. The Chicago platform in brief-means the ballot for the negro and gold for the bondholder. TUB OMNIBUS BILL. I 'the latest Radical outrage is a bill ad mitting Uve of the Southern States in to the Union, on their adopting the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu tion. It has passed both Houses of Congress, and is the most infamous and insidious mensureof this infamous-Con gress. It is a measure which not only rivets more closely the fetters which bind the passive and helpless people of the South, but is a virtual repeal of the Constitution of the United States. If there is one principle more distinctly enunciated than another in the Consti tution, it is that of the equality of the states—that what is law for one is law for all. But these bogus state govern ments, erected out of negro votes, have provisions incorporated into their slate Constitutions, such as no other state governments have, and these provis ions are declared to bo forever irrepeal ablo. Every voter must swear, for in stance, that ho will never vote to inter fere with negro suffrage. Connecticut, Ohio and .Michigan may repudiate it, but in South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia it is irrepealable—the whites are bound hand and foot, anil their chains given into the hands of their ne gro masters. Are the stales of the Union equal ? If so, Congress has as much power and right to deprive Penn sylvania of her jurisdiction over the suffrage question, and to make it an ir repealable provision of her Constitu tion, as it has to do so for Alabama. It is a favorite cry with the Hadical party that the people are supreme; and yet they would deprive the people of their sovereignty on a question affect- ing all their dearest Interests. This omnibus reconstruction bill refuses to let the people ot the South make their own laws, and especially their own or ganic law, and imposes upon them laws ; made elsewhere and by people who do not live within their several states. If the people are sovereign, how could they either forfeit orsurrender the right of self government. It'was love for this very principle of self government which impelled our ancestors of Penn sylvania and South Carolina to go to war with England about the Boston Port Bill, in which personally they had no interest whatever; and it will he another evidence of the degenerateness of the race, if we suffer such wrongs to pass unavenged. . This “ omnibus” bill means treason — treason to the Constitution—trovson to the principles of republican gov ernment—treason to the Union as our fathers made it. When these men profess to be for the Union, they lie in their very throats—when they swear to support the Constitution, they perjure themselves in the sight of God. This bill strips their pre tended schemes of reconstruction of nil the soft words they have thrown around them, and shows the naked enormity and brutal cruelty of their scheme of party domination. Under this scheme States are to be made at Washington, and given into the control of ignorant negroesanddegraded whites—Congress men are to be declared elected; and their credentials, forged by. a bogus Governor, arc to emible them to vote down the representatives of the intelli gent whites of the North. The machi nery'of the local State governments is to bo erected on a similar plan for the suppression of the groans of the white people, and the hiding of the excesses of tile black rulers; and with a hypocri- sy unparalleled in all political history, this is done under a pretense of resto ring the Union. Cun it bo that “judg ment has tied to brutish beasts, 'and men have lost their reason Wil 1 tho white laboring men of tho North suffer themselves longer to be deluded by a partisan scheme which has for its object the erection of ten negro Common- wealths, which will elect eighty-three members of Congress, and thus control the legislation and the general elections of the country, against the expressed will of tho white people who made the country what it is? The Democrats of Erie County haveconcluded to try the “Crawford County system' l of making nominations. — JSxchange. The “Crawford county system” of making nominations is the true system. Under this mode the Democrats of the several townships and boroughs express their choice by- voting directly for the candidates, instead of for delegates to represent them (and sometimes to mis represent them) in County Convention. By this system bargain and sale,' the influence of money, and other corrupt appliances are to a great extent pre vented. Tlie venal and corrupt rich man who would attempt to carry his point by a lavish expenditure of money, is checkmated, and his personal popu larity and fitness, and not his money, decides for or against him. AVe have, on many occasions, advocated this sys tem for nominating candidates, but thus far it has met with opposition from those who feared the people. A few more lessons may perhaps open the eyes of well-disposed Democrats, and induce them to regard tho “Crawford county system” as the best and most honest. $ so 4 CO 8 1)0 10 CO 16 00 25 00 Their Great Concern.— We have never known a time in twenty years, when our adversaries have exhibited so profound an interest in all that concerns the Democratic party, or lavished ad vice upon it so profusely. We are the more surprised at this, as they have so often announced solemnly and official ly the stunning fact Hint the Democrat ic party was “ dead.” Now, as they are not all “spiritualists,” why so anxious about the departed ? The truth is they have a secret premonition that it still lives, and will certainly conquer in the comingstruggle, and a “ fearful looking for” the event. And they are right.— Nothing but extreme folly and madness at the New York Convention can bring about the defeat of the Democratic tick et. Left to their own strength, Grant and Colfax will be very badly beaten. The Good Book says: “The prayer of the righteous availeth much.” As a day was set apart, by the general con ference of the Methodist Church, at the recommendation of Bishop Simpson, to pray for the impeachment of the Provident, and as the President didn’t happen to be impeached, we can. only conclude that the “ righteous” portion of that conference did not pray as the “loil” Simpson and his admirers ad vised. “ Let us have peace,” says General Grant. Shall wo make another deserl at the North and call that “ peace J” fill: REOINTUV tAAVi It will" ho atl item of interest for the tax payers of Cumberland county to know what they are paying for the luxury ol a “Registry Law.”, In this county-there are thirty election dis tricts, and consequently thirty election boards. Each of these boards is consti tuted of live persons, one Judge two in spectors,-and two clerks, and there is also an assessor to each election district. The number of election officers, includ ing the assessors. In the whole county is one hundred and eighty. These men receive for their services $1 50 per day, making in nil $270,00. Under the reg istry law, the Judge, Inspectors, and Assessors of each district constitute the board of registry, and they are required to meet at least five days in each year. Therp are also to be made out duplicate copies of the .Assessors return, for each election district, from the Ist to the 15th of September, which'will necessitate the employment of additional clerks at a probable cost of $BO, and the blank books which the Commissioners have already been compelled to purchase have cost ?G2,00. The additional expense may ho sum med up as follows: Cost of blank honks, ? JUSO Kxtra Assessors pay, Uojjlstry board any four days, <1 mom bom at 51 ft) por day—4so districts, lUsO 00 Additional labor in Comm's. Oil*. 00 There are to bo two elections this year, In other words the people of Cum berland county have to pay an additional sum of 12G24 00, and to undergo great trouble, vexation and personal expense to meet the requirements of this new radical law, which is in direct violation of the State Constitution. Uadi cal Patriotism at a dis count. —Mr. Muugen stated in Con gress, a few days ago, that a proposition was made by the Confederate govern ment during the war lo pay three times the price in cotton, gold and tobacco for medicines for our soldiers at Ander souville and oilier Southern prisons that those medicines should be put un der charge of Federal surgeons, and be by them in person taken to the different Southern prisons and used and distribu ted for the use of Union prisoners alone. No response was made to this by the Federal government. He said he could prove this if the House would allow an official inouirv,. Mr. Garfield objected. Alarming Increase of the Na tional Deiit. —We learn from the published statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, that during the month of May the national debt was increased nine millions, seven hundred and seven teen thousand, fifty nine hundred dollars I Is not this alarming? Just think of it 1 In time of peace the debt to increase at the rate of nearly ten million of dollars per month. This is radical rule, mis management and stealing. Why, if these cormorants are kept in power much longer they will steal tire capital, Goddess of Liberty and all. Are not the people convinced that it is high time to hurl the scoundrels from pow er? He Told too Much.— When Thur luw Weed was before Ben Butler’s Im peachment Committee the other day, on an effort to draw from him some ad mission ns to the tampering with Sena tors ns to the President’s acquittal, But ler asked: ” 1)6 you know of any mon ey contributed for political purposes?” “ I do, sir ; I helped to raise 530,000 not long ago for such a purpose.” (The ears of the Committee pricked up at once.) “ You will state to the court what use was made of it?” “It was used,” replied Weed, “to enable tho Republicans to carry the New Hamp shire election.” It is unnecessary to say thafWeed was permitted to go cut with the apple blossoms.” A Friend of Senator Fessenden, who has always been a Democrat, has com municated for publication the follow ing passage from a recent private let ter of the Senator’s; “ X thank you for kind words. When friends are de nouncing mo in all quarters for the one act of my life for which I deserve the most credit, putting at hazard, as I did, all my own honor and interests from an imperative sense of duty, it is a consol ation to know that some few yet believe in my integrity of purpose! I shall take what you say ns earnest and true, therefore, even if you are a Democrat.” General Schofield, the new Sec retary of War, is perhaps, with one ex ception, (Mr. Calhoun) the youngest man who lias ever occupied that po sition in our Government, being not quite thirty-seven years of age. He graduated at West Point in 1853. He was made a Major General in 1865, and was subsequently raised to the full rank. In May 1867, ho was assigned to duty as General Commanding the first mili tary district, consisting of the State of Virginia. He is, said to be a man of considerable executive ability; but whether he is a true friend of the Pres ident is doubted by many. A short time will determine Ida course. jgy- So I—Before the acquittal of the President the Church Union, a thoro ughly Radical organ, said: “Let the Republican party make its will, and let this nation prepare to see the seventh seal opened upon this continent, if the Senate of the United States refuses to convict the traitor at Washington.” It was in accordance with ttiis request, evidently, that the late convention at Chicago avoided all “ living issues.” As far back ok the days of the Apostles, tills ■world was blessed with those whom “ copper heads” bo delight to abuse—Radicals.— Mongrel JSxchaitpe. ' We believe they did exist about that time, and the Apostle Paul seemed to know them about as well as the people of the present day have reason to, when he described them*ns “those whose end, is destruction, whose God is their belly, arid whose glory is their shame.” , No man who favors the equalization of taxes—who opposes negro suffrage, and would see the Union of our fathers restored, can vote for Grant and Colfax. They are the candidates of bondhold ers, niggers and dlsunlonists. The drunken General who paved his way from Washington to Appomattox With the skulls of his own countrymen, now asks the friends of the thousands his drunkenness murdered, to place him In the Presidential chair. is bAtHi fn fi>B tiik pnianDEstir r Grilht lias made two speeches and written one letter in accepting the nom ination of himself for the Presidency by the Radical Republicans. His speech es; were .unworthy* in point.of literary, and intellectual merit, of a school boy. His letter, though prepared with much more care and labor, is no bettor in this respect than his puerile orations. In one of his speeches, he said lie would have “ no policy of his own that would Interfere with the will of the people.” That, meant, first, that he would bo a most pliant piece of clay lii the hands of the political potters Whij may mould him ns they please, to any measures and plots, however iniquitous and disas trous. It meant, secondly, that, as the Radical majority in Congress claim to represent the people, he would comply with any-demands of theirs, however unreasonable, unlawful and destructive to the national peace, unity and welfare, on the ground that' whatever a faction of scoundrels in Congress, may demand, must be interpreted and accepted and curried out by him, as the will of the people I Gen. Grant evidently does not know that the will of the people of the whole country, ns expressed in the Con stitution, is the supreme law of the land, and that the will of a part, and that a minority, too, of the people who may elect him, and who elected the present Congress, is not that will of the people which he, or any other citizen is legally bound to respect. If such an ignoramus in statesmanship—such a sciolist in the fundamental law of Con stitutional government—shall be placed in the Executive chair, with a revolu- 11112 00 Si.2l (XI tiouary Coiißrcss to use him, the peo ple of this country may ns well bicl.n final farewell to their civil liberties. Truth From n strange Source ! Don Piatt, a radical writer in the Cincinnati Commercial*, who seems to have more honesty than generally falls to the lot of mongrel politicians, says of his party: ••We have developed more rascality than any organization called Into existence. Wo have Ailed the offices with th.eves and their pockets with stealings. We haveorgunlzed rings that In turn create office-holders and control the gov ernment. Men go in poor and come out mil lionaires. For one dollar paid to the government from hard earned taxes, hundreds stick to the drv lingers of official scoundrels.” If this is not the trtith, wo hre at a loss to know where to look for it.— From the days of the patriarchs down to the times of plundering montrrelism, “history furnishes no parallel to the un* mitigated swindles, the barefaced rob beries, and outrageous official thiev ings, that have marked every foment of the reign of the party in power. And yet, with their purses overflowing with the peoples money—with their long fingers clasped full of the'taxes wrung from the toil and sweat of the laborer— with their hotises furnished with fine goods, bought with greenbacks filched from the public treasury, and their families clothed in silks and satins that belong to the tax-payers of the country —they have the effrontery to ask those they have robbed almost to the verge ‘of poverty, to give them a longer lease of public positions, by electing Grant and Colfax, the candidates of the private thieves and public plunderers. The New York World states that the Cooper Institute In that City was on Tues day secured for the National Soldiers* and Sailors’ Convention of July 4, ami among the distinguished gentlemen to be pres ent are Major-General Wm. 13. Frank lin, Major General F. P. filuir, Jr., Ma jor-General Gordon Granger, Major-Gen eral Hancock, and others of equal emi nence. General Franklin Is expected to preside. General Ewing will head from Ohio alone 500 genuine veterans, and hundreds of real soldiers from all parts of the land are coming to rally again for personal rights and the Union of the Slates; The demonstration will be with out precedent; and the contrast it will ex hibit to the sutlers’ side-show.at Chicago will do much to relieve our military and naval services from theodium which that crowd of place hunters and bummers was calculated to cast upon them. Colfax" a Know-Nothing. —Colfax, the .Radical candidate for Vice President, Is a politician by trade, and has always been notorious in Indiana as a- chronic office-beggar. He was an original Know- Nothing, and as such, was elected to Congress, being one of the most bitter and loud-mouthed detainers of Catholics, and ©four foriegn-born fellow-citizens.— Like others of his class, he naturally al lied himself with the Republican party,* when the fusion between the Know- Nothings and the Abolitionists took place. The resolution in reference to naturalized citizens adopted by the Chi cago Convention was merely a tub thrown to the whale; and when that is quoted every naturalized citizen will recall the antecedents of the party and of Its nomi nee, Schuyler Colfax, the Know-Nothing, Democratic Candidates.— A corres pondent of the New York World says the following are at present prominent as Democratic nominees for President: Horatio Seymour, of New York ; Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana; George H. Pendleton, of Ohio; Gen. George B Mc- Cienun, of New Jersey; Qeu. W. S. Han cock, of Pennsylvania; Chief* Justice Chase, of Ohio; Admiral Farragut, of New York ; Janies A. English, of Con necticut. Out of that list of names, it is quite certain that the candidate wilt be selected. Inasmuch as there are three weeks from Saturday' yet before the Con vention assembles, there is a chance fora greatchange insentiment, and thatcaudi dute who now appears to have the most strength may by.that time be the weak est, and vice versa. Ip a negro in the South Ib supposed or imagined or conjectured to have been killed or wounded or even badly scared by a white man; the Northern Radicals can find no words half potent enough to express their indignation and horror. But if the Southern negroes, who are all armed and whose worst passions are Influenced by their greed of land and political power, take it into their thick and woolly heads to murder fifty, or a hundred white men, the Radicals con tend that It is all the fault of the white men in having kept the negro so long in bondage and no\V objecting to share their possessions with him and to be subject to his political domination. The first party Colfax over joined, it is said, was the Know-nothing party.— This is a fit candidate for the present Republican party. Somebody having stated that Grant has no will of his own, Prentice thinks be had better make one ns soon os pos sible, in-view of his political death. xutl ttECTonii to*S. Wo have sot down the number of States under The respective, hetidS, De mocratic.and Republican, with, a view, of ascertaining the chances of electing a Democrat to. the position of .President of the United Slates this fall: REPUBLICAN. Illinois,...A lowa, Kansas, Maine 1 Massachusetts, Michigan.....; Minnesota Missouri Nebraska, Nevada, - New Hampshire 3 Rnodo Island 2 Tennessee, H Vermont 3 West Virginia, 3 Wisconsin 0 DEMOCRATIC. California Connecticut, Delaware, ... Indiana Kentucky,. • > Maryland i- New Jersey, New York, Ohio Oregon, Pennsylvania, u ...... 0 . r, 6 Democratic mnj. The following are the States not yet admitted, which cast fifty electoral votes. Should the Republican party control all of these States Grant would bo elected by seventeen of a majority in the electoral college: .... 0 Mississippi, ..... S North Carolina,. 1 South Carolina.. 7 Texas, 5 Virginia,-. Alabama,.. Arkansas,.. Florida, Georgia Louisiana,. The whole number if all the States are fully represented make 243. Neces sary to a choice 122. The Democracy need to add just 9 votes to the above 113 to make up that number. With a half a chance more than double that number can be acquired from the Southern States, say, nothing about the chances of the Democracy carrying a number of the States put down above on the, Re publican side., Tho N«sro Sulfrajp Plank in tho Chicago The second resolution of the Chicago platform reads os follows: “ The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was.demanded by,every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; while the ques tion of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States.” We have already declared our convic tion that the above resolution would prove entirely satisfactory to the moat extreme advocates of negro equality, and we bad not to wait long for the clearest proof of,oUr assertion. The Philadelphia Post of Friday has the following com mentary upon it: "There is nothing in the Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, which we cannot heartily, approve, for even the sec ond article, which is the only one open to objection, pledges the party to main tain Impartial Suffrage in the South.— THA.T. MAINTAINED, IT IS INEVI TABLE THAT IMPARTIAL SUF FRAGE WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE NORTH, for it is impossible that the Republican party can divide its principles and hold to d two faced policy. It is certain to lose the colored vote in the South, unless it gives the ballot to colored citizens in the North. And if it refuses to become the champion of free dom every where, it will deserve to be dis graced and defeated. The right of the loyal States to decide for themselves the suffrage question docs not, in our opinion, give thempower to prevent citizens of the United States from voting for officers of the United States j ami here it is (hat Con gress should interfere. Wo trust Mr. Stevens will not forget his bill prohibit ing Slates from disfranchising citizens of the whole country. And it is to be re gretted that the Convention did not more explicitly declare that the people of the loyal States ought to grant the ballot to their lellow-ottizeus, without respect to color. BUT WE REPEAT THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONFER FULL CITIZENSHIP ON THE MILLIONS OF COLORED PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES, AND TO CON TINUE TO WITHHOLD IT FROM THE THOUSANDS IN THE NORTH. Now we ask every Northern man who is opposed to negro suffrage and conse quent negro equality, to look this propo sition squarely in the face. H«re we have it asserted by one of the tfblest Re publican papers iu the country that the, platform on which General Grant has voluntarily taken his stand, if carried out by bis election, renders negro suff rage and negro equality au inevitable ne cessity in every State iu the Union. The Post very, truthfully declares that " it is impossible to conjcrfull citizenship on the millions of golorcd people in the Southern States, find to withhold it from-ihe thou sands in the North." Another Specimen of the “God and Morality Party.”— We see by thb Lebanon Advertiser that Daniel Gerberich, radical Treasurer of Lebanon county, Pa., has absquatulated, pending and indictment against him for using $17,000 of the county funds for ills own business. Tbe prominent radicals of Lebanon endeavored tocov* r up his crime by keeping back legal ,prnpo«<ii ago Ai r nearly two years "In order that ho might wind up hie afiairs and escape punish .ment. Perhaps other radicals shared with him in the stealings. This is anoth er radical triumph. It is a wohder the radicals do not liowl Ku Klux to cover it up. . How Generalship Saves Sol diers 1 Lives.— ln the campaign from the Rapkian to the James, Grant had three soldiers to Lee’s one and 12,000 oyer, .222,000 to 70,000. Grant used up six times as many men as Lee and 3,000 over, 117,000 to 19,000. . Grant used up as many men as all Lee had, and 12,000 more than half as many again, 117,000 to 70,000. Grant used up 63 per cent, of his en tire force. Lee used up but 27 per cent, of his force. This wasteful butchery being finished, Grant was still far from conquering his antagonist. They .had yet to meet in front of Petersburg and Richmond, where the.deadly game of swopping off six Northern Soldiers to one Southern soldier proceeded until Lee’s inferior force was used up. Would that be gen eralship in checkers.— N. K World, Odd Thad declared that if Johnson was not removed Grant would carry but two Northern States, Massachusetts and Vermont. Does the old infernal still bold to that opinion? He is awfully, maliciously silent. “ Let us have peace,” says Grant. But It is yOu Radicals who for three years have denied us peace. The coun try means to have peace, and won’t trust to men to procure it who for three years have kept us from it, .
