We presume that the mpst of our
readers have read the messa P me of Presi
dent Johnson, and it is therefore not
necessary for us to take up space . in our
paper to, publish this unimportant, State
paper..
The_ document is, -as every body- sup r
posed it would be, a' rehash of" his.ac
cidency's policy," as set forth in his
great 22nd of February speech, and his
evolutions around the circle. The Presi
dent starts out with the stereotyped
thanks to God for his innumerable bless
ings in staying the terrible scourge
which we,as a nation,(especially its head)
were threatened with; and perhaps de
served., He soon glides into the theme
of reconstruction, and asserts for the
thousandth time, that the States lately in
rebellion, baying purged themselves from
all their iniquities are, as indeed'acnord
ing to his 'Views they always have been,
bonaficle States of the Union. Which
assertion on its face, according' to John
son (not Samuel, but Andrew,) is false,
from the fact that the. President in the
early part of his time—before Seward
had recovered from the wound of the
assassie, Payne---viewed them as,unor
gi,ulized territories ; and acting in his
capacity as the head of the nation, ap
pointed Provisional Governors for them.
What right had he to say to the people
of North Carolina, and Georgia, that
Worth and Bro - wn, the regularly elected
Governors, should not call the Legisla
tures together to reorganize the States,
and prepare them to resume the functions
of independent commonwealths, if these
States were never out of the Union ?
Why did lie send Holden and James
Johnson to them as provisional. Govern
ors, if these States were still in the
Union ? And the same may be said of
Sharkey, of Mississippi, Parsons, of Ala
bama,Perry,of South Carelina,and others.
What right would the p r esident have to
say to A. G. Curtin, the beloved Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, stand aside, I
will send Bill Bigler or Mester Clymer,
to take .charge of the affairs' of Cie State?
None whatever. If he had no such right
in Pennsylvania, 'surely he had no such
right in'any other State recognized as a
member of the great family of common
wealths. For no man of common sense
will doubt that the States embraced
within the folds of the Union, occupy
the same relation to the Federal Head 3
and if the President can appoint a Pro
visional Governor for one, he can do so
for each and all of them. And if, in
the exercise of his more than kingly
power be should attempt anything of
this kind and prove sneeessful,would not
this be a greater 'concentration of power
than any that hasbeen dreamed of since
the formation of the Federal Union ?
E4litor;
:'"Mr...tOhnSon'S - great boast.seems to be
that he is a " plebeian." Well, be
certainly is such in Statesmanship, if
that term argues weakness. .
It was very unfortunate for the Ameri
can people, that when Mr. Lincoln was
stricken down, when the nation was
flushed with the full tide of victory and
he about to consummate the grandeur of
his administration iu the success of his
measures for the overthrow of the-great
rebellion, that his mantle should fall on
one so unworthy to wear it.. . • 1
It is said of, a time, in holy writ -that
there were "Giants in those dals,'! and,
it may be said there are pigmies in these
days.
According to the message, "we are at
peace with all the worldand the rest-of
mankind," Our financial affair's are in a
satisfactory condition,our postal arrange
ments seem to be working well, both as
regards our home and foreign mail.
The army and navy seem to be working
admirably; and uron'tha whole, our for
eign and doMestic affairs are all that we
could reasonably, expect.
• The -whole is wisely submitted to
Congress, vi-bich 12to doubt will shape

Who shall be Senator ?•
IT is a remarkable fact that Pennsyl
vania has 'Veen misrepresented in the
Senate orthellnited. States for the, last
thirty years. ,Sometimes by men who
opposed her in' her material interests and
political. and ' . tuora . l 'principles,' and at
other times by men, although right in
sentiment, yet so weak as to be unable to
give the Commonwealth that standing
aniong the States of. the Union which
her• geographical, mineral; political; agri
cultural and intellectual position' would
seem-to entitle her.. This has sometimes
been' accomplished by combinations of
small calibred politicians,and it is feared
'at other' times by. the fearfully corrupt
ing influences of money. "It is time that
thse things should be remedied. The
vest Legislature will have an •opportunity
of giving character and . dignity to the
State ):?y elgctinga man who stands at the
head of the oatton,.to fill the place now
desecrated by the renegade Cowan.-

ter,an4 secondly because of his. long con
tinued and unwavering efforts against
the colossal wrong of human . :slaverY.
No man in Pennsylvania or
. elsewhere
has ever charged Mr.' Stevens With' 'a
dishonest act. His character for honesty
is, therefore, unimpeached, and however
'much abuse has been heaped on hie
'head, (and no man has hada larger share
of,that,) even his enemies will admit his
sterling integrity, while his ability as a
.statesman will at all times be readily ac
lknowleclged. has been battling
against slavery for more than thirty.
years. When Joseph Raper was Govern
ior of . Pennsylvania Mr. S. was charged
by our enemies with Writinc , the Govern
orts
- messages, arid however false, the
charge may have b .e , n and undoubtedly
was,
,yet that he sympathized fully in their
doctrines is very true, and I remember
very well that a sentiment of. one of them
lost Mr. Ritner his re-election in 1838,
and that was where the Governor spoke
of " the' base bowing of the knee 'to the
clark spirit of slavery." Mr. Stevens
has for many years been battling the
party called Democratic, because that
party, when it had life in it, made
slavery its very lungs through which it
inhaled its brgath, of life. And now that
slavery is dead, and with it died the old
"Democratic party, it is fitting that its
executioner should be placed in a position
where he could properly administer ot.
its effects. I therefore trust that our
Legislature. now that they have an op
portunity to.nlace a man in the Senate of
t' e 'United States, will give us a repre•
sentative whom we may be proud of.
They need not be afraid of his - being
too radical, inasmuchas the late elections
have demonstrated the fact that the
people are fully up 'with Congress on
the living issues of the day, and have
sustained, by noble majorities, the men
who were true to principle, while they
have vetoed every weak-kneed republican
who bowed down the policy of Johnson;
Seward Bz, Ca.
I have no doubt that the delegation
from Lancaster County will sustain the,
"old radical," but we want more than
this: Let the leading men of the party go
to Harrisburg on the third Tuesday of
January, and show our representatives
that they are in earnest in supporting
him. Much can be accomplished in this
way, and if successful they will be
amply •repaid f..r their trouble.
The outside influence of Pennsylvania
prevented-the nomination of • Seward at
Chicago, in 1800, and who now-regrets
having gone to the Convention for
such a purpose? A RADICAL.

- This is an article for washing without rubbing, ex
ttupt, i n very dirty places, which will require a very
slight rub, and unlike other preparations offered for
a like purpose, will not rot the clothes.but will leave
them much whiter than ordinary methods, without
the usual wear and tear.
It removes grease spots as if by magic.and softens
the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will in ordinary
cases entirely remove it.
This powder is prepared in accordance with ahem,
teal science, and upon a process peculiar to itself,
which is secured by Letters Patent. It has been in.
use for more than a year, •tnd has proved itself an
universal favorite; wherever it. has been used.—
Among the advantages claimed arc the following,
It saves all the expense of soap usually used on
cotton andliuen goods.
It saves most at the labor of rubbing and wear and
tear. . .
Also, for cleaning windows it is unsurpassed.—
With one quarter the time and labor usually re
quired it imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre, much
superior to any ether mode, No water required ex
cept to moisten the powder.
Directions with cacti package,
And can be readily appreciated by n single trial.—
The cost of washing for a family of five or six per
sons•will not exceed three cents.
... . ... _ ___. . .
The manufacturers of this powder are aware that
many useless compounds have been introduced to
the public which have rotted the cloth, or failed in
removing the dirt, but 'knowing the intrinsic excel
lence of this article they confidently proclaim it as
being adapted to meet a demand which has long ex
isted,aud which has heretofore remained uncap
plied. .
