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.

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.

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 tintied, vnd cither in the destruction 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 sets, if tho peoplo of this country con tinue to elect men like John W. Geary Governor, nnd send such men as Ste vens k Co. to ("ongrcss, national sui- t'ido will be our fate. unfit to administer free government, j debaucheries were considered a dis ni tho Devil would be to lead a prayer grace ; but now it is n mark of re mooting.

Tlio loyal l.rngpirts ho The right of desert-!- to vote, or,!lVo l,.-i,-tfie ,-ivni Mich excessive 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 ll.nl ...1.

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- j dates and their friends. Until loynl 1 ists succeeded to tho throne, such cor- They ore asjruptions were unknown, and political ......n in !,. r..H..l. I " '" ' , ' 'J I .'j'i".

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.

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 would not bo surprised if he would do liko Forney take tho knare to his bosom. Lucy Stone nnd Elizabeth Ctidy Stanton, (who ran for Congress last fall,) two ho lomalos of tho Becchor persuasion, arc running over the conn try making stump speeches in favor of "womanhood suffrage." It would bo muoli ballot for iLoao woman tft loctnro on and practico "womanhood decencies," or go homo ard mind their names. Skttleii Down. Thoso bombastic loyal editors and letter writers, who three weeks ago threatened to split their party from tho Di-luwnro to the Lakes, in tlio event of the election, to tho U. S.

As tathc spirituality of the 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 timents towards other races and kin dreds nnd peoples w hich are now ha bitually promulgated by their sublimo and beautiful descendants.
