Thursday Morning, Jan. 31, 1867.
Tht .Vutional Crisis.
Tho people of lli is country seem to
profit but little by experience. Four
yonra of fratricidal war, with its un
told evils ond personal affliction, seem
to bo forgotten already. A portion of
tlio people seem as determinedly bent
on National ruin, as they wero in
1 &G0. Though warned timo and again
not to elevate a western political jay
luiwker to tho Presidency that dis
union would bo tho result they heed
lessly oust their ballots to put in power
those, who hud openly doclurcd it would
overthrow our union. They said they
did not want war, disunion mid an
urchy ; yet they coolly, in November,
1800, voted for tho very men who hud
promised all this. Whether fathers
preferred greenbacks and 5-20 and
7-30 bonds to their sons, we are not
able to say; but this much wo will
say: that many of them grasp nnd
caress their bonds to day moro affec
tionately than they did their sons in
war times. They lost them, through
the persuasion of knaves and dema
gogues, during tho reign of A. L.,and
we tell them now, that if they follow
tho counsel and advieo of tho same
men in tho future, they will not only
lose the price of their sons, Imt their
religious liberty. Ye loyalists to-day,
who voted and talked for war in 1800,
do you want tho same thing in 1808?
If 60, advocate and sustain the course
of Thad. Stcvons 4 Co. More drafts
and bounty taxes will bo your lot, if
you continue to voto for men who
bavo no more respect for the Consti
stitution than a hyena has for a corpse
Wo clip the following extract from
a late letter written by Mr. Raymond,
a very loyal member of Congrovn, who
seems to snuff danger from the breeze,
lleor him:
"The doom of our Government if on the brink of
elocution; and vet we are quiet! Will nothing
rouse u 1 Are wo an slnjrgish of apprehension
now, on the one hand, aa we were before the retal
lion, oa tho other t Our Government ii in peril
now, at it Ml then; not of disintegration, Itut of
murpation the usurpation of absolute power by
the temporary representative! of a majority of the
people of a part of the ouuulry. The men whom
the whole country, exeept a degraded though in
flucntiol part of the Democratic parly, trusted dur
ing the rebellion with the task of preserving the
lialion, are using their trust now to pcrjietuatu their
own power and preserve (heir own loirtv. Tliev
pursue the cource which they have taken, aa we
all Know, from tho fear of the return of the Demo
cratic party to power. 1 hat would indeed he
i-aiauuiy; nui mere If one pussidle whieb is so
much greater that the former dwindles into nothing
u comparison ine destruction, not ol the Consti
tution, which might be made better or worse and
little harm he done, hut of something much greater
than the Constitution constitutional rovenimrnt.
Of this we may bo aure that le nrrteaf courts of
""77" win, v eoaiianen, taa eiisrr in fe de
efrucrt'on of coHttitMiunal oorer.nrNf or the re
storation of Ike Democratic ixirtn. If thePn.il.
dent is impeached and sns)iendcd from offlct during
hif trial, and the power of the riuprcuie Court are
" .v i ongrost. me impending coup d etal
will have been struck, and the majority of an im
perfect Congress will Im alolute master of the
wbolo country, not only now, hut at any time
hereafter."
This alarm and advice comes from
a "loyal" signal gun, and ought most
assuredly to catiso alarm.
IIow cheap! Constitutional gov
ernment savod by merely putting tho
Democrats in power!
We also take an extract bearing
upon this point from tho Washington
Constitutional Union, which says:
"Events have already brought the Government
to the very verge of another revolution. If the
Radical majority of Congresf pursues its treaeona
bl oooree much longer, A bWraeieat, ,'. or-Ur
to maUtain if elf mil lav It arm if tiWorlers.
At the call of the I'residenl all hit friends, North
and South, and in the army and navy, will re
fpond. In such a contest the issue cannot be
douhllul. Congressmen may be valiant fighters on
the floors of Congress, hut wlien they come to lend
their cohorts into the Held, it will lie "another thing
1 he real armies and great soldiers of the HcpuMic
will he found fighting under the flag. We advise
the Opposition f ,!, determined and lived fact
that Audrew Johnson will arrve out hit const, lu
tional term of office,"
Should the prognostications herein
set forth be realized, no ono will
daro to say that it was not foretold.
Tho peoplo are compelled to put the
Democratic party in power in tho
States and nation, or our country will
bo irretrievably lost. To stifter much
longer under tlio afflictions of such
fanatics as thoso w ho now rulo tho
Ktato, will certainly produce a more
fatal disorder in tho body politic, than
cholera would in tho physical system.

Cheap Salvation. Henry J. Ray
mond, as perfect n dcmagogiio as ever
walked in shoo leather, now ono of
the loyal Rumpers, in a fit of reverie,
seems to realize tho hopeless condi
tion of our country. In a letter to bis
pnper, tbo X. Y. Times, after pointing
out somo of tho iniquities of his broth
er Itumpors, bo exclaims, "that tho
present eotirso of Congress will ifenn

of Constitutional government or the
restoration of the Democratic party."
Tho prophet Jeremiah never foretold
anything more true. Wo will add,
that just ns sure as tho sun rises and

thoso deiioininatcd such by our loyal , ,,, i ,in si..,-..t r ,i,
neighbors, is n itn-stion of vital im
portunco to every citi.cn. If tho title
. f , . ...
of American c.H.ensh.p held by ns
slight n tenure as our r.euhms loyalists
would havo us believe, wc hud better
cast about for somo more sure or safer
landing. Tho citizens of our county
are particularly interested in this
question, ttecuuso a very lengthy nnd
wiso (!) opinion bearing npon this
point, was promulgated through the
columns of the Journal, last full. If
plain Constitutional rights and pro
visions uro rendered nugatory by the
dcmagogiio and tho highwayman, it
becomes tho duty of thoso who still
have some respect for that old instru
ment, to have it properly interpreted
and udministcrod, or, failing in this,
to take tho last right wo possess rev
olution and thunder it into tho ears
of those hermaphrodite statesmen, wiio
nro now marching us over tho routo
to national ruin. Among tho few
substantial "hitching posts" we hop
pen to find by the wayside, wo lay be
fore our readers a synopsis of tho able
opinion of our townsman, Judge Jiar
rett. An election board in Wayne
county wus recently prosecuted before
him, for refusing to tako the bullot oi
a so-called desertor. Tho case was
brought up at tho last term of Court
in that county, when he disposed of it
by delivering tho following opinion :
Tho case has been made up, wc un
derstand, with a view of reaching the
main questions raised under tho act
of Congress and of tho Legislature of
Pennsylvania in reference to tho rtirht
of certain persons called deserters to
voto. r.verytlnng has been admitted
deemod nocessary to procent tho na
ked question.
Tho acts of Congress have been
passed upon by the Supremo Court,
n nd their ruling is with the pluiiitilf.
Until an alleged deserter has been
tried and convicted no election benrd
can reject his vote. This decides the
question raised by this issue, and wo
ueed not go further.
Tho act of 4th of Juno, 1800, passed
by tho Legislature of Pennsylvania,
was intended to acconmlish what the
act of Congress had failed to do. The
Constitution of Pennsylvania fixes the
qualifications of a voter within the
State of Pennsylvania in the following
words: "In all elections bv tho citi
zens every white freeman of the ago of
twenty -oucyeurs,huving!rcsided in tins
State one year, and in the election dis
trict whero ho oilers to voto ten days
immediately preceding such election,
and within two years paid a Stttto or
county tux, w Inch shall have been as
sessed at least tori days before the
election, shall enjoy tho rights of an
elector." Thus aye, residence and tho
payment of taxes are mado tho qualifi
cations, ond tho Legislature bad not
tho power to pass a law imposing the
penally oi aistranchisement upon a
citizen of the Commonwealth when to
enf'orco it must deprive him of a clear
constitutional right. Jn this broad
view of the caso wo nro called upon to
jironounco tho law void, because it is
in conflict with tho provisions of the
Constitution of tho State.
liut it is contended that tho Legis
lature may impose the penalty of dis
franchisement us a punishment for
crime. Admitting this, c an tho act of
June 4, IW, be enforced T I he Con
stitution declares that "trial by jury
shall remain us heretofore; and the
right thereof remain inviolate." One
of thoso rights is "to have a speedy
public trial by an impartial jury of the
vicinage." This act proposes to inflict
the penalty before trial of any kind,
either by jury or by courts-martial.
The board of election oflicers are not
a jury competent to try and decide
the question of desertion. Tho Legis
lature cannot clotho them with that
power. It would be submitting the
question of their guilt or innocenco to
a tribunal unknown to tho Constitu
tion, and upon cvidenco not even ren
dered under tho solemnity of an oath.
Kvery provision of tho act imposing
tho penalty of disfranchisement before
trial, conviction and sontenee. is in
conflict with the provisions of the Con
stitution pf the State of Pennsylvania,
ana uiereioro voiu.
Neither (he sc( of Conirress referr
ed to, nor tho act of the Legislature of
i cnnsyivama, were lunditig upon the
Iwiard of election oflicers in this cose.
Being in violation of the provisions of
tho Constitution, tho oflicers should
have obeyed tho latter.
The plaintiff was, therefore, entitled
to voto; and having been deprived of

Gen. Hawley has been renominated
by tho loyalists of Connecticut for
Governor. Tho platform upon which
ho was plated advocates negro guf-
frflg for South Carolina, but not for
Connecticut. Tho New Englanders
have always manifested a remarkable
taste for attending to other people's
business. Is it not downright deviltry
for a convention in Connecticut to say
what laws shall bo passed for the
Southern States, while they refuse to
adopt them for their own use? If a
citizen of our town would attempt to
regulate tho domcstio affairs of his
neighbor in a similar manner, be might
expect to hear a noise, if ho did not
feel a brick bat.
As in our Slate, tho loyalists in a
number of other States, whero U. S.
Senators were elected last week, ap
pointed corruption committees to in
vestigate and explodo the bribery re
sorted to by the "moral idea" candi-

past month. In a number
of States, United States Senators of
tho loyal persuasion bavo been elect
ed, but "nary" soldier secured a seat
in that body. In our own .State tho
soldiers' chief friend was assassinated
to make room fur tho most corrupt juy
hawker within tho bounds of tho Com
monwealth. This is no "Copperhead
lie," because wo can prove it by loyal
testimony. In Illinois, whero three
eminent (ienerals were candidates, the
position wus given to Trumbull, a slay-at-homo
widoawako. In Kansas, In
dinmt, New York, Wisconsin and New
Jersey, tho soldiers wero crowded out
of tho ring, und tho pluco assigned to
shoddyites. It is as truo as tho needle
to tho pole, that thoso who decoyed
tho soldier into tho field, nnd then
robbed and plundered him, will, with
few exceptions, continue tho same
work when tho battle is over. Simon
Cameron, Thuddeus Stevens, Aleck
MeClure, John W. Forney, and their
associates havo about as much respect
for a soldier, sinco tho armistico, as
tho Devil has for a christian seduce
and plunder him tho first chance he
gets.
"Honest John." They tell a story
of John Covodo, the member of Con
gress from the Westmoreland district,
which bus not yet been in print. Dur
ing tlio lato campaign. Governor Cur-
tin was addressing tho peoplo of Co
vodo's district. In his speech, the
Coventor, who is about as honest as
Covodo, was denouncing frauds, and
stated that the Democrats had colon
ized somo hundreds of voters in Westr
morclund and Indiana counties. Co
vodo, sitting behind the Governor,
pulling tho skirt of his coat, handed
him tho following noto:
"Uuvucr. I guena ii t best not to aar much on
that tuhjiek. Iff corn loppin' time, and I think
I can brat 'cut at eolonitiu', accontin' to mr fig
gcrf, about lure bundrrd vote." l ew. .Vf-ecfotor.
This is bad orthography for a man
cdueatod in tho school of "grand mor
al ideas." Somo of tho loyal journals
allege that Common Schoolsoro hard
on Democrats, but produce no proof.
Wo should Bay that Covodeis certain
lv hard on schools and Webster. Tho
"soldiers' friend" lias no doubt re
ported Li in correctly. We were

A Fali.sv Hero. Leonard Iluyck,
tbo President of tho exploded National
Bank at Washington, I). C, who du
ring tlie war rcguled himself on loyal
ty and greenbacks, has been indioted
by tho grand jury for eniher.r.lemcnt.
Ho was ordered by tho Court to find
bail in tho sum of SJO.OOO, and after
bumming around tor several days and
offering about twenty different per
sons, all of whom tho Court refused,
he was sent to jail. Wo suppose the
Rump will get up a committeo of in
vetUigation. Hayek is a good match
for Culver, whom tho loyalists released
from the Franklin jail. Huy ;k, but a
short timo a;,ro, numbered his friends
by thousands and his money by mil
lions, now neither will keep him out
of tho penitentiary.
A Compliment. Tlio Eric Di? patch,
tho loyal organ of that county, in
closing a pathetic appeal in reference
to the election of Senator, and warn
ing tho loyal members of tho Senate
and House againnt voting for Camer
on, said : "(.iivo us a fool, like Geary,
but lor (Jod's sako do not give us a
knave." How tho man is going to
get the kniivo off his hands, is not for
us to advise ; but wo shall seo. We

As lioston is understood to provide
brains for tho parly of great moral
ideas, it is respectfully suggested that
these principles ho incorporated in the
plotform tho Radicals are to adopt at
their next Suite or General Conven
tion. The eternal fitness of tho thing
must bo upparent, at a glance, to the
most superficial observer. The spirit
mil unity of nature, might be person
ally exemplified in tho lilit and char
acter of Nat. P. Hanks. The co-relation,
ciitiulity ami universality of law
has its living expositors lu the iron tele
mob, that turned out at tho cannon's
mouth, in tho streets of lioston, to
prevent the surrender of Anthony

soul, wo arc not so certain. Thcro is
not much, if any, soul among these
Vankeo spiriluu'lists, and that plank
in tho platform, therefore, may as well
bo dismissed as mat apropos. The
moral equality of tho sexes and the
moral equality of the sexism may be
left to the anialganiiitiouists and the
colored gentlemen who represent lios
ton in tho State Legislature. The
hnrniony of progress will find appro
priate expression in tho Hig Orrnn
while tho eventual fraternization of
nations may appropriately base itself
upon tho tradition which tells how
the descendants of tho puritans were
no sooner "planted" in New Kngland,
than they commenced robbing, killing
and exterminating the original posses
sors of the soil tho poor Indiuns
in a spirit and stylo that admirably
foreshadowed the magnanimous aen
