THE PEOPLE'S PROTEST.
In the Phllndolphin Press of the ,11th
Inst, is an editorial from the pen of Its
able and distinguished editor, 001. For
noy, under tho caption of “Tho People’s
Protest.” The object and aim of this
article ’is to expose the manner in
Which Hnrtranft was nominated for
Governor, and having donb this, To
compel him, by force of public opinion,
to “ get out 6f the way,” and permit a
now man to bo taken up for Governor.
Speaking of tho packed ring conven
tion that nominated Hnrtranft, at the
bidding of Cameron, 001. Forney says:
" Tho Hartranft- Slato Convention vroa tho
most scandalous body that had over assembled
at Harrisburg. A low mou mot In ono -of
tho upnor rooms of tho state capltol and at ono
of tho hotels in tho town, and cut, dried and dis
tributed resolutions, plana and oillcoa. They
thou hurried through their programme nud hur
riedly adjourned, louring to faco oven a vote of
ratification.”
True, every word. Forney then in
sists that if Hartrauft is not withdrawn
from the field, the state will be lost to
Grant, and ho continues:
“ Ever since the storm of dissatisfaction has
been increasing, until now, even In tho glow of
gratitude over tho happy selection of Grant and
'Wilson, It has Increased to such a degree that it
would bo madness to disregard It. Tuo expres
sions of tho Independent republican papers of
the Interior, cdpled into this Journal trom time
to time, ana again 10-clay, cannot and dare not
bo attributed to anything but an honest relloc
llon of the popular will lu tholr respective coun
ties. Ho Is certainly a poor or a very desperate
loader who would place any other estimate up
on tho able ami disinterested heads of those
tried republican papers.
A nother element adds to th Is deep-seated dis
satisfaction. Wo mean the choice ui a United
a tales Senator for six years Iroia tho *Uh of
Match, IS7R. The old game is sought to bo play
ed again iu utter dcUauce of public opinion.
Candidates for the legislature are to bo chosen
In Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chester, pledged
to continue the personal rule under which
Pennsylvania has audorod In both parties lor a,
quarter of a century. Tho determination lo
end this rule Is universal, and this Is tho year
to finish it unless we desire to yield unques
tioning obedience to a system of ostracism
that has no parallel since tho days of slavery*—
The chief of this local despotism! entrench
ed- in national and local patronage, shows
no mercy to those who resist his arrogance.—
The higher the object tho more embit
tered his hate. Had not Andrew G. Curtin
boon a genuine republican ho would long
since have been forced out of tho party, and if
he returns to Pennsylvania in opposition to
Grunt U will be solely because Senator Cameron
still dominates our state politics and dictates
tho distribution of patronage. 1 ’
Now, what ,we object to in Forney’s
course is He holds Cameron and
his ring of plunderers responsible for
the nomination of the two roosters,”
Hartranft and Allen. Right enough.
But whore did Cameron get his power,
his strength, to nominate, (against the
wishes of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania,) these two bad men?
Wtro gives Cameron tire right to 11 dic
tate the distribution of patronage?”
Who blit Grant? It is notorious, as
every intelligent man knows, that
Cameron has the absolute control of the
patronage of the administration in
Pennsylvania. He dictates all appoint
ments, distributes the money -raised
from office-holders .to carry on cam
paigns, and ■ distributes thin • aaoxtoy ,to
nominate his tools for Governor, Au
ditor General and the State Legisla
ture. By this means ho captures the
Legislature, and secures his re-election
to the Senate. But for Grant, Camer
on would have no more power in this
State than thousands of other Radicals.
Grant, then, is more responsible than
Cameron for the nominations of Hart
ranft and Allen. But for Grant and
hispatronage, Hartranft would not have
had a dozen votes in the Radical Con
vention. There were in that Conven
tion sixteen men who held office under
tyrant, and every mother’s son of them
voted for Hartranft and Allen.
We insist, then, that Grant is more to
blame for those nomination than Cam
eron, and he should bear the odium
with Cameron. Forney knows this
better than than we do, and if ho is the
bold and upright editor we take him to
be, he will finally conclude to place the
saddle upon the right horse. Suppose
Grant should be re-elected—which may
a merciful God prevent—don’t Forney
and everybody else know that Camer
on’s strength in this State will bo -in
creased? He will not only be re-elect
ed to the U. S. Senate, but he will con
tinue for four long years more to 11 dic
tate tile distribution of patronage.”—
And thou woo to the “ traitors” who
opposed the corruptionists, llartranft
and Allen! “ Woe to that man by
Whom the offence cometh,” for they
will bo scalped by the Winebago chief
without pity, and Grant will look on
and laugh and smoke and drink whis
ky, as the victims of his wrath writhe
under the official knife. Cameron will
continue to 11 dictate the distribution
of patronage,” and crime and villainy
and corruption will continue at a pre
premium.
Let those independent Republicans—
those Reformers who desire to root out
• theCaraeron ring; go to work in earnest.
Let them strike at the heart of tho
monster, if they desire success. Lot
them array themselves against the
most corrupt' man this country ever
produced, Grant, and then they will
make it appear that they are honest
when they say that the Cameron- ring
must be put down. Grant is the head,
heart and tail of the Cameron ring.—
Defeat him, and the Cameron ring and
corruption will be gone forever in
Pennsylvania.
Honest Men Against Thieves,
Prom what we have noticed, over
one half of tho ropulicau papers favor
the Cincinnati nomination, and tho
fight appears to be narrowing down to
the single issue of honest men against
thieves. Strip Grant of his official posi
tion and tho patronage he has to be
stow, and he would ptand no more
chance of being elected President or
oven of being nominated thau he does
of ever going to Heaven. His govern
ment officials travel around like fright
ened sheep dogs, they have but little to
say, and tho height of their ambition is
simply “ to be lot alone.” Every one
wants a change, the days of the thieves
are numbered, and they are all well
aware ef tho fact. - Live issues and
honest live men appear to be on the
lips of every one, and tho present ad
miuistratmn will receive a greater rout
during the present campaign than any
political party over received since tho
organization of our government.—
Fighting the battles of tho war over
and over again, which ended seven
years ago, lias played out, and freeing
the nigger over and over again who
was freed ton years ago, has also play
ed out. This campaign will bo carried
on to free the country from the rule of |

WILSON ALIAS JERRY COLBATH,
Tho convention of Grant’sollico-hold
ers have thrown Smller Colfax over
board and glvon his place to a Massa
chusetts trimmer, who calls himself
Henry Wilson, but who happens to be
somebody else. It is a fact, although
not yet generally known, that Henry
Wilson was originally named Jeremiah
Colbath. He was born in Now Hamp
shire, and did not become Henry Wil
son until ho emigrated to Massachu
setts, about the time he obtained his
majority, where and when he had his
name changed. What hIS motive was
we are not correctly informed, though
we have been told that it was to get
rid of a name which its owners had
failed to make honorable, if they had
not made it the reverse.
This Wilson alias t Jerry Colbath is a
genuine Yankee, a whining pretender,
who speaks of his rotten, thieving trea
sonable party as the “ God and moral
ity party,” and who during* the war
talked a great deal about
the stars and stripes,” hut was too care
ful of his own precious hide to face dan
ger when fighting was to bo done.
At the commoncemunl of the war he
arrived at Washington at tho head of a
regiment. Ho was going to “ play the
d—l and break things,” and well do we
remember with what warmth Radical
papers spoke of the “ heroic Col. Wil
son of Massachusetts.” Up to this
time tho “heroic Col. Wilson of Massa
chusetts” had nursed the idea that the
“South would not fight.” How he got
that idea nobody knows. He had been
led to believe that a big show- and bus
tle, a beating of waving of the
old flag, and a big steal on the part of
Northern “ loyal” men -was all thai
was wanting to frighten the “ rebels”
and send them howling to tlieit homes.
With these ideas in his head, he enter
ed the service “ to save the Union.”—
Some friend presented him with a
beautiful, spirited black stallion (Wil
son, like Grant, accepts all presents,)
and, mounting his chargor, he placed
himself at the head of his regiment and
in a stentorious voice ordered "march!”
The long bridge at Washington was
crossed, and onr hero in a few hours,
was in the land of live “ rebels.”- He
soon discovered, too, with amazement,
lhat these infernal fools of rebels in-
tended to fight like wild cats. This
was more than Colonel Wilson expected
—more than he had bargained for. He
was equal to the occasion, however,
and arrived at a conclusion what to do
at once. He believed his presence in
.tiro Senate .was* a necessity ; there he
could make speeches about “ loyalty”,
and the “ God and morality party,’!
and urge other men to go to war. The
next morning Wilson alias Colbath,
was in his seat in the Senate, in citi
zens dress, cool a. cucumber, and his
regiment was left without a Colonel.—
Such wore the “services” in war of the
“heroic Col. Wilson of Massachusetts.”
Wilson alias Colbath, has always
been a man of contracted ideas. , He
was one of the fathers of the infamous
Know-Nothing party, and there .is no
man in the whole land who did more
to proscribe his fellow-citizens on ac
count of birth and religion than this
same Wilson. He is a narrow-minded ■
bigot. Let every lover of liberty re
member that, when he is ask;ed to vote
for the ticket act up hy the office-hold
ers’ convention at Philadelphia. His
nomination will prove a failure. The
man with an alias should have changed
his name a second time before presen tv
ing himself to the'American people as a
candidate. The High-Priest of Nativ
ism is not the man to address his
claims to the American people at this
day. What the Chicago Tribune (good-
Republican authority) says will find an
echo everywhere. “ This ticket, ’ says
that paper, “ presents all the evils of
Giant’s administration, and as if the
inted prejudices, bitterness, proscrip-
tion, and disfranchisements of late
years were not enough, there has been
revived the old and mast senseless of
all hates and principles, the proscrip-
tion of naturalized .citizens, and their
political disfranchisement in the .addi
tion to tho ticket of Henry Wilson—at
one time the High Priest of Nativism
in the States.”
To think of such a man proscribing
his fellow-citizens on tho ground of
birth, ho who renounced his father and
mother and discarded their names.
They may print ballots for such men,
mt who will vote them?
Another Witness.
Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, was
'Stanton’s assistant secretary, and of
course was in the closest relations with
him; and he says: "After Grant had
entered upon hie office as President, and
had developed the charaoterand policy of
his administration,' Mr. Stanton, in con
versation with hisiutimate friends never
made any secret of the low opinion he
held respecting the President and his
system. The essential thing in his re
marks to Mr. Sumner—we mean that
General Grant could not govern’ this
country—be expressed to other persons,
and sometimes In the same words. We,
for one, have heard this same sentiment
from his lips at a considerable earlier pe
riod than that of his conversation with
the Senator from Massachusetts; and no
doubt there are others who can give the
same testimony. That Mr! Stanton’s
dying judgment was-just what he said
to Mr. Sumner, there can be no dispute,"
This more than sustains Mr. Sumner,
and there can be no question hereafter
as to what “the great war secretary'!
thought of Grant. And we may now ex
pect to see Grant’s toadies go zealously to
work to destroy the reputation and de
preciate the merits and services of Stan-,
ton. Well, let them proceed. He was
never so great nor so good a man In our’
opinion, as he was in Mr. Sumner’s.
Ghant off Again.— Congress ad
journed on Monday night, and Grant run
oil to Bong Branch on Tuesday morning.
The etfect is thus stated* in a Washing
ton dispatch ;
Washington, June 11.—The Presi
dent’s departure for Bong Branch this
morning created a feeling ol bittrrdisup
palntmeu t among Senators mid members,
delegates to tbe Philadelphia Conven
tion and others having business with tbe
Executive. The ante-room of the White
House was full roost of the day with cal
■ lore, who very generally were under the
‘'lmpression that tbe President would
not desert the White House quite as soon
as Congress deserted the Capitol.” Some
indignant Republicans who had Impor
tant business to transact, and could find
neither tbe President nor either of his
secretaries, declared that there was more
truth than they had supposed in Mr.
Sumner's o urge that the Executive
speut ipospof his time In “seaside loiter
ings,” A great rjiapy had purposely de
layed pressing their matters on the Pre
sident until Congress had gone, hi order I
that, he might have more time, ■ I
OUBP JUSTICE THOMPSON. \ ,
The following is the. correspondents I
between the Hon. Helster Clyraer, Pres
ident of the Democratic Convention, and
its nominee for the Supreme Bench, the
Hon, James Thompson : j
Hillside, Beading, Pa., i . '
June 4, 1872./ \
Hon. Chief Justice Thompson.—
Dear &'ir. —I embrace the earliest oppor
tunity, after disposing of the immediate/
duties Imposed upou me by the Presi
dency of the late Democratic State Con'-
voution, to inform you officially of yodr
re-nomination for the.office of Judge of
the Supreme Court- . ■ j
It .was with great pride and high per
sonal satisfaction that I received and or
dared to be recorded the unanimous ver
dict of the Convention. “ Well done,
thou good and faithful Servant!"
In rendering this verdict, the delegates
assembled but re-echoed the voice of
their political supporters, and that also
of thousands of good men outside of their
own political pale.
You have ever been true to the duties
and euds of your high office—the ermine
on -vourshouiders has never been soiled
by contact with partisan politics—in you
the partisan has been sunk, so that thro'
you the stream of justice might flow
pure, unsuspected and untainted.
You have your great reward In the con
fidence and esteem of good men, and in
obedience to their will, I pray that your
life and services in the future, as in the
post, may be consecrated to the discharge
of those great and important, duties,
which, for fifteen years, have engaged
your attention.
With every expression of personal re-'
gard and esteem, believe me, your friend,
. Heister Clymee.
Piiilai ELPHIA, June 8, 1872.— H0n.
Heister i lyUier, President of the-Bead
ing Convention— My Dear Sir.—l am In
receipt of your note of the 4th inst., of
ficially informing me of my re-nomina
tion to the office of Judge of the Su
preme Court of this Commonwealth, by
the Democratic Convention, held In the
city of Heading, on the 30th ult.
The unsolicitated and voluntary ten
der of a re-nomination to this high and
responsible position, after lung service in
it, is peculiarly gratifying, as it Implies
a general approval of my official conduct
during the term about to expire, in which
1 have bad the honor to hold the posi
tion. That I have endeavored to dis
charge the responsible. duties incident
to it with entire impartiality, I feel ful
ly conscious, but when in addition to this
I have the satisfaction of receiving the
unanimous endorsement of my efforts of/
so distinguished an assemblage of my/
fellow-citizens as met in Convention In'
the city of Beading, it is, indeed, a re
sult to ne proud of. In this connection,
I will oul y say further, that should the
people of this Commonwealth see proper
to ratify the choice of the Convention, it
will be my earnest endeavor in the dis
charge of ail my duties to deserve a con
tinuance of their confidence.
I beg to thank you, my dear sir, for the
very kind terms In which you have been
pleased to communicate the action of the
Convention, over which yon so'ably pre
sided, and reciprocating all your good
wishes for me personally.
C.T.am, vary truly, your friend and obe
dient servant, James Thompson.
BELMONT ON QEEELET.
August Belmont, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, has,
written to a friend as fallows in relation
to Horace Gtree ley :
Long Island, May 21,1872.
My Dear Sr—Your klqd letter of the
17th Inst, reached me here, and In reply
I beg to express to you my warm thanks
for the flattering confidence which you
manifest for ray judgment and sincerity
of purpose. I may err in my apprecia-
tion of the difficulties which surround us,
but 1 can say without egotism that I
merit your good opinion as to the sin
cerity of my intentions. So much am I
impressed with the fatal consequences in
store for our common country by the re
election of Grant that I would willingly
vote for my deadliest enemy in order to
prevent such a catastrophe. The nomi
nation of Greeley is one of those stupen
dous mistakes which it is difficult even,
to comprehend, but it is how an accom
plished fact, and we have to deal with it
as best we can. I take it for granted that
-ail thlnkinir men hava° oo a° th the con
clusion by this time that the nomination
of a straight Democratic ticket at Balti
more will either elect. Grant by the peo
ple, in case of Greeley’s withdrawal, or
throw the election into the House if
Greeley- should stand; and ' then also
Grant will be sure to be elected. If the
Convention can be got to nominate
Greeley at Baltimore with anything like
unanimity, the large body of the Demo
cratic party throughout the country will
vote for him, and we shall have enough
Republican voters to make the election
more than probable, even 11 we should
lose one-tenth of our vote by defection
and apathy. Whether this nomination
can be brought about, remains a serious
question, and I am not able to form a
Judgment on tins point at this early day.
At present many leading men and party
organs, besides a large portion of the
German vote, are bitterly opposed to
him. Between now and the 9th of July,
Greeley's strength must show and in
crease or decline, and it will then be for
our Convention to adopt what course
may bo wisest. Though he is to me the
most objectionable person whom the Li
berals could select, still I am decidedly
of the opinion that" our best policy will
be to endorse the Cincinnati platform
and ticket. This is the general feeling
in this Stale, and our delegation to Bal
timore is, by a largo majority, composed
of Greeley men. As our delegation votes
as a unit, you may set the vote of New
York down almost certain for Greeley.
I was not at Rochester, and have been
left off the list of delegates, most proba
bly on account of the hostile position of
the World and &taats Zeiiung against
the Cincinnati nominees, as the delega
tion was undoubtedly selected with that
one idea of making it sure for Greeley.—
A moat absurd story has for years past
been started and generally credited, that
I am n large shareholder in the World,
and control its tendencies. I have never
held a single share In it, and do not ex T
eroise any influence over its editorials.,
Should circumstances shape themselves
so that the Liberals desert the Cincin
nati ticket, then I hope that the choice
may fail on Groesbeok. He, with Ban
ford Church or J. Q. Adams, would
make a-stronger ticket than any other
combination. Ydufs, very truly,
Aug. Bepmont.
THE OHEQHEEED OEOWD,
A sharp correspondent who witnessed
the sittings 8f the mongrel black and tan
Grant Convention at Philadelphia, writes
thus:
As the eye ranged over the body of the
theatre, in which the delegates were
seated, a queer scene was presented to
the sight. Cheek by .jowl with the car
pet-baggers and scalawags sat the negroes
who were their ’ compeers. Here beside
the attenuated form of some Yankee,
who had abandoned, the peddling of
wooden nutmegs for the more profitable
business of manipulating sable suffrages,
was jammed In the burly form of some
black Hercules, who bullied his race In
a close district; yonder, towering above
the bald pate and greasy scalp of an ex-
Pennsylvania quarter master, rose the
kinky head of a popular negro exborter,
Ex-Governor Orr, of South Carolina, was
sand-wiched in between two mulaltoes,
one of whom hud brandished the favorite
weapon of the modern Southern states
man in a barber shop, while the either
hud picked up scraps of knowledge and
some degree of refinement ns he waited
at an intelligentmaster’s Iqblo. Someof
the whites seem to appreciate the degra
dation to which they submitted for the
sake of ofiloe, but mast of them were
insensible to a touch df shame. The
convention was a motely gathering, and
its members were actuated by sordid mo.
tives. ft was a horde of oQlce-bolders
and expectant place men, convened for
the express purpose of keeping in power
the man who has made merchandize of
the Presidency, and disgraced the high

to be free.

cious adventurers have temporarily con
fiscated a State of the American’ Union
to their private use and emolument.—
They have found a" few native-born ras
cals as unscrupulous as themselves, and
taken them into partnership. They have
secured the ignorant negroes by a system
of secret, oath-bound societies; by skil
fully appealing to their resentments and
their fears—in which the Ku-klux insan
ity has, of course, been of invaluable as
sistance to them ; by the magio of the
Republican name; and by dividing office
and plunder with their leaders, always
reserving lor themselves, however, the
lion’s share. The history of their shame
ful rule is known to the American peo
ple. . Yet these fellows call themselves
Republicans, hold up their heads with
the best, and cheer for Grant with the
loudest. They come into the National
Convention, their hands reeking from
corrupt Jobs, their pockets heavy with
stolen money, and sit' down on equal
terms with the representatives of Massa
chusetts. They are quite right in-regard
ing Greeley’s election as “something dla
■Aotrono." ■it wuuKl no an irreparable dis
aster to them, as, for that matter, would
he, the election of Adams or Groesbeck,
or 1 almost any one who has.been named
—except Grant- It would be a formal
notice tp quit; a warning that their time
was up; in fact it would be,rainy day
pome in very truth. No wonder that
they are fpr.Grant “ enthuslastlcaily.”-
They have good reason to be.— Spring ;
field Republican. '
This is aj vivid and-Jife-like picture of
carpet-bag rapine, in the South, and an
awful prefiguratlon of the fate of the ob
scure and rascally crew on the overthrow
of Grant and his myrmidons/
H. G. Smith, esq., of the Lancaster
Intelligencer, announces himself as a
candidate for delegate to the constitu
tional convention. In his card to the
democratic voters of Laucasteroounty he
says:
■ “The questions which will be brought
before that convention have constantly
.engaged his attention, in his capacity as
Jin editor, for ten years. Ho con say with
truth that in seeking the position or del
egate his ambition is to aid in correcting
abdses which have crept into our state
government. Powers improperly em
ployed by great corporations should be
limited, special legislation should be out
up by the roots, reform in representation
should be secured, and rights which the
people are in danger of losing should be
assured to them by explicit declarations
embodied in the fundamental law of the
commonwealth."
Mr. Smith would make a useful and
efficient member of the convention. As
ho gracefully withdrew! from competi
tion as a delegate at large, there la no
doubt his nomination will be cordially
made by the democracy of Lancaster,
whom lie has served with ability and
fidelity, for many years,— Harrisburg Pa
triot.
The above appeared In the Harrisburg
Patriot of Saturday, and we copy it for
the purpose of giving it a cordial endorse
ment. Mr. Smith, as an editor, stands
at the head of the profession in this
State, pnd is eminently qualified for the
position he seeksi As a general rule,
editors are pushed aside when positions
of honor and profit are to be conferred,
and those not half as deserving or half
as capable are foisted upon the people.—
We hope Mr. Smith may be successful.
The Nine Million Steal!
.The most outrageous scheme of rob
bery ever attempted to be perpetrated on
the tax-payers of this Commonwealth,
was the passage of the Jersey Shore,
Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway bill, by
a majority through both Houses, and
which was prevented only by the veto of
Governor Geary. The scheme was sim
ply an attempt to rob .the Treasury of
$9,500,000 worth of bonds In the sinking
fund, for the benefit of certain corpora
tions and speculating lobbyists. On the
final vote on this bill in the Senate, the
yeas and nays were as follows
Yeas.—Messrs. Allen, Beck, Connell,
Duncan, Findlay. Heneszey, Kerr, Lin
derman, Lowry, M’lntire, Mumma, Na
gle, Olmstead, Osterhout, Perman, Ran
dallj Robinson, Wallace and Watt. 20.
Ways.—Messrs. Billingfelt, Brooke,
Brodhead, Buckalcw, Davis,- Graham,
Howard, Rutan, Turner, Warfel, White
and Stinson,, Speaker— l 2.
It will be seen that Harrison Alien,
now the Bing candidate for Auditor-
General, whom the Harrisburg Journal
eulogizes as f'a tower of strength," and
" whose personal popularity awakens an
enthusiasm wherever he is known r whlch
no amount of Democratic lying can af
fect,” led the-list In voting for the con
summation of this huge iniquity, In
which he was simply consistent with his
previous course in championing the bill
through the Senate, while Mr. cßucka
lew. like an honest man, stood squarely
with our Lancaster county Senators in
voting against it. This is a record which
our over -zealous Harrisburg cotemporary
will scarcely be able to make the people
credit to “ Democratic lying I Lancas

Not Too Late.
It la not too late to save the Republi
can State ticket from utter defeat, and
' thus continue the salutary rule of the
Republican party, prompt action is,
however, absolutely necessary—aye 1
peremptorily demanded. The 'success
;of the party is too saered to be Impeded
by the gratification of any one man or
clique. The only way by which the
entire differences can be healed and per
fect unanimity can be restored, is to
make a clean sweep of; the mongrel'
.ticket'foisted upon us at Harrisburg on
the 10th of April, and of theequaliy im
becile State Central Committee. Weed
them all out. Call a new State Con
vention and allow no delegate a seat,
who does not come fresh ffom the peo- ,
pie; and give us a ticket of the people..
No mongrel half breeds—no cross with
Tammany. There' is but little differ
ence between the nine million bill and
the Evans grab; both,are nttempts.to
steal the people’s money ; and their
effect is settling down day by day like
an incubus upon the party. It is useless
to close our eyes to it. It is thesheerest
nonserice to whistle to keep our courage
up* It is hypocrisy to advocate that
which we have no heart for. It is
cowardice not to sound the alarm when
the fire is raging.
General White , has had the good
sense to decline the Congressmanship
at large. Would to fortune Hartranft
and Allen had a tithe of it, and would
withdraw too. With these two men
out of the road the skies would be clear.
The balance of. the ticket is good, al
though it .is the offspring of the most
infamously organized convention that
ever disgraced our party.
The reason assigned by Hartranft for
not withdrawing, that it would look
like an acknowledgment of his connec
tion with the outrage, is childlike.—
Better a thousand times he should
openly so declare, than to have forty
thousand voters of Pennsylvania de
clare so by their ballots. They have
already formed it in their minds, and
it is but waiting tho 2nd Tuesday of Oc
tober to ring it out upon the midnight
air, in tones that will reach from the
Delaware to the lakes. If there was a
drop of Republican blood flowing in
his veins, it would: animate him to do
an act that alone can save his party—
and that will save every member of it
the' mortification, of either violating
cnnHcionwl.iu h .w., cvou-j—
-plice to the steal, or assisting directly
or indirectly In the election or his oppo
nent. If he was not actuated by the
basest selfishness, the coldest, snakellke
aggrandisement, he would at 'once ad
mit his unfitness for the position, pud
get out of the way of the progress of
the party. He never was a Republi
can at heart—he was only such in names
made so by the accidence of the Rebel
lion—his affinities have ever remained
with his first love; and the only abili
ties he brought to the party, was his
thorough knowledge of .“ addition, di
vision, and silence."
We again say, clear the track 1
ai.ooo.
Look Upon This Becobd,— Let the
taxpayers of the country look upon these
facts, and ask themselves which they
prefer should menage the affairs of the
Government—the Democrats or the Rad
icals :
For six years prior to the war the ex
penditures of the Navy Department were
$80,070,824. For six years since the war
the expensesof the same department have
been $101,307,088, and the navy has been
rapidly going to decay during the
whole time.
For six years prior to the war the ex
penditures of the War Department were
$110,070,430. In the eix years of peace
following the war they wore $673,583,
398.
The same facts are evident in the man
agement of the Indian Bureau. The
expenditures for six years preceding the
war were $21,231,585. In the six years
since the uyir they were $07,907,000, and
yet the Indians are constantly diminish
ing in numbers.
An increaseof expenditures is observa
ble iii every department of the govern
ment when compared with the days of
Democratic ascendency, and it is about
time the people decide to dispense with
thfc costly luxury of Radical rule.
.President Baez, -he who. was to have
been tho first Territorial Governor of San
Domingo, had the administration annex
ation-scheme succeeded, Is never out of
trouble. His facility for -getting into
hot water is only equalled by the Presi
dents of our sister republic—Mexico, who,
one and all, possess this faculty ih an ad
mirable degree of perfection. Just now
Baez is embroiled with his neighbor
Hayti, and the Haytiens threaten to
make war on San Domingo because, as
they assert, Baez is the,instigator of the
recent invasion of Haytien territory.
War against San Domingo by Hayti
means half a dozen revolutions against
Baez within his own domain ; and a de
feat in the field by- bis moat formidable
enemies may bring to him the fate of
Salnave, a drum-head court martial and
swift execution by the hands of his own
countrymen. What pleasant uprisings
and embroilments would these Haytien
and Dominican wars and insurrections'
have been for the United States Govern
ment to palacate and disentangle.
Straddling, the Fence,
Boruey’s Press gives the following ac
count of the singular conduct of a Radi
cal country editor: ;
In one of the Interior counties of this
State the Republican paper published at
the county-seat and largest town, and a
smaller journal printed in a village in
same county, and only four miles distant
from the "court-house,". are both owned
and edited by the same gentleman. The’
first paper supports the entire ticket nom
inated at Harrisburg on the 10th of Ap
ril, and the other rejects a portion of it,
and calls upon the honest Republicans to
vote against it.
That fellow would make a good acro
bat. Bew editors are capable of balanc
ing themselves astride the political fence
in such a fashion-
Hartrdnft Will Stick.
Hartranft and Allen can not be forced
off the Republican State ticket. The
ring which nominated them are deter
mined to elect their tools or to-defeat the
party- The Philadelphia Union League
passed resolutions endorsing Grant and
Wilson and the whole Republican State
ticket as it stands.. Honest Republicans
all over the State must vote for the Dem
oratlo candidates, if they desire to save
the State from the clutches of the most
corrupt and greedy Ring that ever dip
ped fingers into a public treasury.
Organize a Buckalcw club in every
town and township in the county,
Public Bights f(fr Negroes.
The negro delegates to the Grant
Convention.numboredAer fifty, and
they, imperatively ddjPinded that’ a
declaration of complete equality should
be made in the platform. The white
delegates felt the necessity of conform
ing to the wishes of their sable allies,
and the ingenuity of the committee on
resolutions was taxed to the uttermost
limit for the purpose of mufacturihg a
plank' which would be acceptable to
the blacks without proving too offen
sive to such white Republicans as
still revolt at the idea of perfect social
equality between the two races. Fi
nally the difficulty waa solved by the
invention of a new phrase. The sec
ond resolution read as follows •:
Complete liberty and exact equality
in the enjoyment of all civil, political
and public rights should be established
and effectually maintained throughout
the Union by efficient and appropriate
State and Federol legislation. Neither
the law. nor its administration should
admit of any discrimination In respect
of citizens by reason of race, creed,
color, or previous condition of servi
tude.
The term “ public rights” is entirely
new, and it will need to be defined.—
On its face, when taken in connection
with the accompanying language of the
resolution, it would seem to be a de
mand for the admission of negroes to
hotels, schools, churches, places of
amusements, and all public institutions
or assemblages on terms of perfect
equality with the white race. That is
as mild an interpretation ns this second
clause of the platform upon which
Grant stands will bear, and it might he
stretched beyond that. .
Adjournment of Congress Disgraceful
Closing Scenes, .
Congress adjourned sine die on the
10th inst., and signalized its closing
by another attempted outrage upon the
rights of the people. The Senate,
which, instead ot maintaining its dig
nity and standing-as the ■ conservative
branch of the national legislature, has
become the undignified and radical
body, swayed alone by the most vin
dictive partisan motives and a desire
for the accomplishment, at any hazard,
of partisan ends, as a fittin g jinale to its
extreme measures during the session
passed the Enforcement Act, which
was intended to perpetuate the power
of. Grant at the point of the bayonet.—
The House, actuated by more magna
nimity, refused to lend its sanction to
this infamous scheme. This course is
due, in a great measure, to the out
spoken opposition to it, by Mr. Kelley,
of this State. Bingham, ol Ohio, the
hangman of Mrs. Surratt, was one of
m&' wnw'
work ,of an attempt to fasten; it upon
the country until after the November
election.
As passed by the Senate, as an
amendment to the Civil- Expense bill,
it extended the provisions of the orig
inal Enforcement Act to every election
district in the United States. As
amended by the Conference Committee,
and agreed to by both Houses, it is
ahomof its more repulsive features,
and the Supervisors appointed under it
are more official witnesses of the elec
tions, having no power except to make
complaint if there be any violation of
the election laws. This is the form In
which it passed. The XTemocrats and
and their Conservative allies made a
most gallant resistance to the iniqui
touss radical scheme to foist/Grant once
more upon the country, at all hazards,
as It came from the Senate, and com
ffelled the amendment, far less objec
tionable, by the House. There was but
one Badical Congressman who had the
hardihood to express his open dissatis
faction to the amendment—Farnsworth
of Illinois. Even hangman, Bingham,
and Ben Butler, who once denounced'
him as a murderer of Mrs. Surratt, but
who are now in all things radically in
famous, cheek-by-jowl, dared
the, open, bold denunciation pf vs at
tempted villiany. —Lancaster Intelli
gencer. .
Their Answers a Failure.
The speeches of Senator Logan and
Conkling, the two of Grant’s retainers,,
who were put forward to reply to the
scathing arraignment to the bribe-tak
ing, President, by Mr. Sumner, were
most unfortunate and imbecile failures.
We do not profess to be admirers-of
Mr. Sumner, nor do we accord all that
is fciairnetl'for him as a statesman or
logician; but it cannot' be denied that
his speech on Grant contains a most
terrible array of facta, which can only
be met as foots. No attempt to answer
it in any other way will amount to
anything. This was all the speeches of
Logan. and Conkling did, and hence
are pronounced failures. The speech of
Mr. Carpenter In reply to Senator
Schurz was a still more imbecile
effort; and without some more potent
offset to the two great speeches of the
anti-Grant Republicans, the effect upon
Grant and his chances for a re-election
must be most damaging.
; An Honest Election Secured, —
The praise of the bayonet election
law by negro orators in the Grant Con
vention drew forth rounds of applause
from the office-holders there assembled.
A delegate from Georgia, a carpet-bag
ger, was heard to declare: “It congress
will only give us that law we do not
care who the ballots.are for when they,
go in the box; we will make it all
right, when It comes to the count.”—
This atrocious sentiment was applaud
ed by a crowd of by-standers. Luckily
for the country the Democrats and the
decent Republicans. in Congress have
proved strong enough to prevent the
re-enactment of the infamous boyonet
election law.
Mr. Hartley at Home.
The Bloody Run (Bedford Co;) Press
pays the following.just tribute to our can
didate for Auditor General : The Press is
a thorough Radical journal, and will op
pose his election with all the power at
Its com mand:
The main strength of the ticket lies in
the nomination made for Auditor-Gene
ral. In plain Mr. Wm. Hartley, the dem
ocrats have a host. Honest, upright, con
scientious, and far above a mean act or
questionable movement, he is, indeed, a
perfect specimen of nature’s nobility. We
have known him for years; it was once
our privilege to dwell for a time beneath
his roof; we have partaken of his hospi
tality, and shared his bounty, and we
have learned to lyiow the man and the
citizen. In this respect nothing can be
truthfully said against William Hartley.
In speaking of, Mr. Hartley's wealth,
the Press remarks, “ Wo fear bis perso
nal popularity more than we do bis
wealth.” "
Tub nomination of Wilson for Vice-
President was partly made to spite Sena
tor Sumner and partly for the purpose of
enabling “Beast” Butler to secure a seat
n the United States Senate. It could
not be expected that a convention of of
fice-holders would be actuated by noble
or generous impulses.
