trp or Down
It is no easy matter for an individual
to gaud still, in this world of conflict.
Everything incites to action. Inertia is
at a discount. People cannot remain
stationary; all must move one way or an
other, forward or backward, up or down.
Financially, the world is constantly
ranting either towards opulence or bank
ruptey. Politically. there is an unceas
ing, wild eommotion that becomes inten
sified as time rui'.s on, and gathers in
its all-conquering embrace even those
who would fain stand aloof as silent spec
tators. Morally the world is a foam of
excitement, and every body is progress
ing or retrograding, according, to the
manner in which they are affected by the
elements that are at work. Socially,the
world is on fire, and no individual or
class can escape the issues pending.—
Everywhere, on either hand, in all de
partments of society, we see action,uction,
ACTION. And the machine has aequired
such momentum that it can never stop
running till the whole human ;family
have been thoroughly ground up and!
bolted. Some will come out genuine
Hour, others bran and shorts,while many
will prove to be nothing but smut.
Amid the universal unrCst,the conflict
of opposing elements, it becomes every
one to institute a close investigation, and
ascertain whether he is moving forward
or sliding backward—going up or down.
We are none of us stationary; we move
by an irresistible impulse ; we are pro
gressing or retrograding. Let us see
that we are moving in the right direction
—towards purity, perfection, happiness
and heaven.

The President declines to appoint
General Steele, of Alabama, as Provis

ground that he has served iu the rebel

appointed to au office when there are
plenty of decent men to fill them.
Dick Turner,the rebel who had charge
of the Libby prison when the Federal
soldiers were so br.dly treated, and who
escaped from that place, was recaptured

-Negro Suffrage.
Ma. Eorroul--The great questioa) or
"suffrage" will be a prominent splii,ject
in future political campaigns. AkEi it
forme the basis of all civil goyerntoOts,
it cannot be regarded as a . neutral or
party qUestion, because in it is introl - ed
the interests o f every individual throtigli-
EDITOR
out our national domain.
You therefore deserve the thanks of
your patrons for allowing the sublett, to
be introduced by your highly respecta,
ble correspondent, "Local," who -With a
laudable and patriotic desire for the fu-
tune welfare of' his country, has entered
on the task of enlightening the coaarna•
nity on the effect of " negro suffrage"
but bas been too modest to pointoitt the
evil of a "black man" depositing bis rote
for either of the distinguished statesalen
who may be selected to execute the laws
of this great repablic. It is saki tlat
they will vote ignorantly. In formal pe
riods this has proved no disqualiGention
for the sacred trust. This is a st,erco
typed accusation among white moo who
are political opponents, and we ought,
not to expect that " negroes" 010.41 ho
more intelligent and pure than viluites.
But how can they err in this matter,sirice
that we can prove by the leading intelli
gent men of both political partieu, that
both of the candidates for high public
' trusts arc fitted fur the positions aisiistied
them.
Local says, it cannot be denied. that
capital to a great extent controls the votes
of those it employs, in all the Stales"—
It he means to convey the idea thatcap-
italists are 'despots,' and laborc-s, 'tools,'
I will not quarrel with him, but leave it
to those who arc interested to settle the
question. I can assure him that the re
lation of capital and labor is likely to con
tinue for an indefinite period. There is
one thing morally certain that if there is
corruption at the polls it will be through
the agency of white men, not nep.oes,
and the latter ought not to be disfran
chised for the white man's trangression.
It is passing strange that negroes are ex
pected to be better than white men,
Local refers back to what he terms a
" fabulous age" (not particularly fur the
purpose of multiplying facts, but con
cealing them.) Ile aims at producing
an ethnological argument about the
" Celts, Negroes & C 0.," which for the
present I will pans over as being; irrele
vant to the subject under consideration,
and test the probable truthfulness of his
historic argument by his statements about
the negroes in our own borough.
Ile states "that a few years ago we
had fifteen hundred ncgroes in (,:lokm
bia," certainly not black ones. The cen
sus of 1850 was taken in the month of
Julie when the colored population was
larger than at any other period of her
history soutotwo or three hundred being
transiently here engaged in the lumber
trade and the census report was 913. Ile
says, " the negroes had the same oppor
tunities for moral and mental improve
ment as the whiten," I would like to
know how many respectable and intelli
gent white men will endorse that state
ment. I freely admit that the ne, ,, ,,,r0cs
have not impreved their limited oppor
tunities as they ought to have dune, but
does that justify the asserticn that they
were on an " equality with Whiles."—
Take care, Mr. Local, the democratic
party will ignore you for :inset-61g that
the negroes are on a hvol with the whites
in this borough. Ire says about 500 re
main, one-half of whom do not earn their
own living That may possibly he true
of the blacks, and it is just as true of the
whites. The children, the sick, aged
and infirm constitute about one half of
every community, and I mskrt lhat if
from no other cause than necessity, that
a larger proportion of the colored popu
lation labor than the white. It is known
that they labor hard, and care a great
dcal of money, and by their prodigality
of expenditures do more to build up the
community in which they reside,Accord
ing to their numbers, than why other
\
class of inhabitants. As compared with
the Irish and German population, they
expend one-third more for their support.
IFor the truth of these assertions I tip
, peal to the experience of the storekeep
ers, butchers, market people and rum
sellers, (if you choose) for the last thirty
years. If they are to be disfranchised
for promoting other people's interests
and neglecting their own, why not, in
the name of justice and humanity, make
a common standard of suffrage in accor
dance with the spirit of ehristiva eiviliza
tion,and not in opposition to the ‘-decrees
of nature."
Local, in lthempting to call public at
tention to the rapid decline of the colored
population in this borough, is either ig
norant of the true cause, or ns patriot- 1
is motl‘es tries to conceal it. Ilence he
, refers to the Indian, and then says that
i
i the negro race banish before -eivilization ,
i for the same reas , on. Such is not the O
,
ifact. The negro is the creature of civil- I
ization, and is to be found in m largest
numbers in the great commercial centres,
where the combined elements of luzury,
1 prompt, power and fashion revel iii all
I
their dazzling beauty, wealth :rod gran
deur. The true cause of the rapid ac
cumulation, and dispersion of negroes in
this borough was not from the influence
of civilization, but from the potency , and
` barbarism of the slave power from Islo
to ISSI. The celebrated Prigs case of
1846, in New York was followed by leg's-
Ation at Harrisburg in 1847, refusing
the use of our Jails to secureingitia - es.—
That made Pennsylvania free- territory,
which soon brought an influT of fugitives
who felt secure as soon as they had cross
ed the Susquehanna. This all occurred
when Columbia was at the zenith of her
prosperity. Labor was in great demand,
they all found plenty of employment, and
security iu their new homes. The slave
power grew rampant, and made new de
mands from the North, and secured the
passage of the "Fugitive Slave Bill,"
which opened up a dark page in their
history, and they flew before it as through
they were followed by fire,and pestilence.
Thus in a single year they were reduced
from 943 to 378 souls. Some Vent to
the Eastern, others to the Western States,
with the hope they might escape the
jaws ef slavery. A tew. went to the
Pee*, while a large number in order
that they might escape the despotism of
a republic in its youth, sought shelter
and protection in a Monarchy that was,
growing with age. At the period of
the late census in ISGO they had in
creased to nearly GOO. Thu history of
the last four years is too fresh to require
the public to be reminded where they
have gone. The alacrity with which
they obeyed the call of the Governmen,
which had hitherto denied them a claim
to the protection Mitzi flag,would have ex
torted praise from the ancient despotism
of Europe, and ought to secure the dear
ly purchased right of citizenship with
all its prerogatives from any country that
claims to be civilized and christian.
For the ..Sle
31n. EDITOR:—The excitement of civ
il war is over ; our borough is out of the
draft ; almost every person has a little
surplus, and now is an excellent time to
look about and see what can be done fur
ourselves, in the shape of such industrial
pursuits, as will ploy° a benefit to our
borough and the surrounding country.—
This can only be done, by getting up a
reciprocal interest and trade. Farmers
want a good market and the borough
wants trade, and no one branch of indus
try would do as much towards accom
plishing such wants as an extensive ag
ricultural implement manufactory..
We have one establishment of the
kind, confined almost to one kind of im
plement, which furnishes more trade to
our shops and market than is furnished
by all our lumber and coal trade, along
our wharves. It must be expected, that
any and all improvements, proi - oscd for
Columbia, will receive but a plaintive re
sponse from the old and young fogies,
whose battle cry, eammeneing, with,
“llark tram the tombs a dolrtul••ound;'
is alt•ays heard as the death keel] of all
modern improvements, who always com
pare everything with themselves, and
believe that the world has only kept up
with them, during their lifetime, and
must necessarily decline back into chaos,
when they leave it. Our politicians and
priests frequently tell us, that in "Union
there is strength," but both parties have
SO peculiar a way of reducing their the_
()ries to practice, that the strength of
their followers, is usually wasted in con
tests which produce very little of the
necessaries of life, and a still smaller
quantity of Union. We have a general
manufacturing law under which, we will
suppose that an association may he form
ed under the name and title of, The
Agricultural Union of Lancaster County,
with a capital of $lOO,OOO, divided into
ten thousand shares. of $lO each ; that a
a large portion of the stuck be subscrib
ed by farmers in small subscriptions of
from one, to five . shares. I do cot be•
lieve there are ten farmers within ten
miles of Columbia, who can not be in
duced to take one share ; and the greater
the number interested, the greater the
I advantages to the company. Such au es
tablishment would employ at least, two
I hundred and fifty mechanics and labor
lers at an average of $O9O, each, per year,
making $150,0J0, which would be spent
annually at our shops, stores and in mar
ket ; would require one hundred and fif
ty more houses to rent, and in fact would
nearly double the trade of our town.—
Will the stock be taken ? I answer, yes,
provided it is started under the influence
of brains and bread and butter, without
courting the rusty influence ofuld fogeis
the knavish influence of politicians, or
contesting influence of our so-called pro.
lessors of religion, and is managed for
the mutual benefit of all parties concern
ed. The first lesson of life is independ
ence, and yet there is not a man in Co
lumbia who can bake or boil a potato • or
iron his own shirt, wituout using a stove,
a kettle, and a flat iron, made out of
town. The farmers about us, are in the
same boat, they can not plow, plant, nor
reap with an article made here. If an
enterprise of the kind is to be started, it
would be necessary to enlist the influence
of all the farmers, for ten miles around ;
then they would came here for their im
pietnents, and at same time, make other
purchases, which they now :make where
they purchase such implements. The
project is feasible ; the trade would be
itnmense, and the benefits, reciprocal.—
Shall the enterprise be prosecuted or
shall idiotic smiles of distrust, control in
this, as it has in all other projects of int
LocAL.

Lee retitione for Pardon—Stephens
Among the petitions received by the
President, Ma the 16th inst., asking spe
cial pardon, is that of Robert E. Lee, late
commander of the rebel forces and that
of Aleaatider F. Stephens, late Vice-
President of the late Confederacy. Mr.
Stephens enters at length into au apology
or vindication of the action he has taken.
Among the reasons which led him to es
pouse the cause of the rebellion, he re
fers to the fact that the Tribune, known
to be a powerful and influential support
er of the Republican Administration,
openly advccated the right of the South
ern people to independence. Mr. Ste
phens inferred from this that independ
ence would be conceded to the South
without war. Ile acknowledges that the
question has been decided forever, and
he desires hereafter to be; and to be con
sidered a good and loyal citizen of the
'Culled States. Mr. Stephens' document
covers some seventy pages.
The Government has received docu
mentary proofs incontrovertable, of the
guilt of Jeff. Davis, in the matter of in
human and most brutal treat ment of
Union prisoners. When disclosed to the
public, as the facts will be in a few days,
they will astound the civilized world.—
