that it will hut multiply tho prccnt

not in my judgment loavo u a ehoico

that it contains tho "remedy that is so

would unite upon its provisions, they
would bo iound broad enough and

Each llouso is made tho "judge of the
elections, returns, and qualifications
ot its own members," ami may "with
the concurrence of two-thirds expel a

in tho admission of Senators and .Rep
resentatives from any and all the
States, there can be no just grounds
of apprehension that persons wlio are
disloyal will bo clothed with powers
ot legislation, lor tlnseouiu noi lumpen
when tho Constitution and the laws
ure enforced by a vigilant and faithful
Congress. When a Senator or repre
sentative presents his certificate of
election, he may at once be admitted
or rejected ; or should there be nny
question as to his eligibility, his cro
tlentials may bo referred for investiga
tion to the appropriate committee. If
Admitted to a seat, it must be upon
evidenca satisfactory to tho House Ot
which he thus becomes a inember,that

power and moral influence of Congress
aro thus effectively exerted in the in
terests of loyalty 10 tho Government
and fidelity to the Luion, aim is it
not far better thnt'tlio work of resto
ration should bo accomplished bi' sim
ple comphanco with the plain require

recourse to mo ""? which is cfl'sci

subversion of the General Government
All that is necessary to setllo this
simple but important question, with
out further agitation or delay, is a
.willingness on the part of all to sus
tain tho Constitution and carry its
provisions into practicul operation.
If to morrow, cither branch of Con
gress would declare that upon tho
presentation of their credentials, mem
bers constitutionally elected and loyal
to tho general Government, would be
admitted to scats in Congress, while
all others would be excluded, and their
places remain vacant until the selec
tion by tho peoplo of loyal, qualified
persons, cud it' tit the same time assu
rance were given that this policy
would be continued until all the Elates
were represented in Congress, it would
send a thrill of joy throughout tho en
tire hind, as indicating tho inaugura
tion of a system w hich most speedily
bring tranquility to tho public mind.
Whilo we are legislating upon sub
jects which are of great importance to
the whole people, and which must
effect all parts ol tho country, not only
during the lilo of the present genera

fays, that "Freedom languishes amid

It can only be secured by the calm
deliberation and skillful labors of men

Thursday Morning;, March 14, 1867i
Read It. We publish this week the
late veto message of t'.io l'resident of
the Rump act establishing a Military
Dictatorship in tho Southern section
of the Union. This bill fully estab
lishes that which Jefferson lavis and
his followers failed to do, after trying
for four years dissolve tho Union,
and abolish civil liberty in ten "free
and independent States." Wo would
like if some loyalist would tell us why .

A negro named Jones, was, on Mon
day last, elected Constable for the town
of Blackstono. Mass. This is putting
the right man in tho right place; be
cause no people on earth aro better
adapted to the scent nnd manners of
tho negroes than tho "mean whites"
of Massachusetts. Whenever a white
man attempts to ignore his place in
nature, and thinks himself no better
than a negro, it is perhaps proper thut
ho should bo allowed to run hiscourse,
because it is a species of fanaticism
that will cure itself, although the re
sult is extermination. If an individu
al commits self-murder ends hU life
with a pistol, knifo or poison he is
denounced as a criminal by his fellows;
but if ho produces tho same results by
an unnatural cohabitation and alliance
with an alien race he is eulogized as a
philanthropist. This is the result of a
Massachusetts education.
A community that, years ago, was
educated up to tho point of commit
ting murder in tho name of tho Lord,
and of banishing their brethren bo-
yond tho borders of their dominions,
aro indeed well qualified to degrado
themselves to the level of the barba
rous African, who has never been
cither tt christian or a mechanic, ex
cept while an American slave. While
New England is engaged in a war
ngninst nature trying to ignore the
decrees and laws of G'od, in reference
to tho races the people of other sec
tions should be warned ami given to
understand that this is not tho first
time that tho people of that section,
at tho instigation of tho I'levil, hnvo
committed crimes that caused even
half civilized communities to blush, and
if they desire the future happiness and
peace of our country they must not
foll jw either tho theologians or politi-
ticians produced by a Plymouth Rock
er. Turo and unadulterated Puritan
ism, as promulgated by Roecher and
Sumner, is as fatal to religion and tho
civ il liberties of a free people as striek-
uino is to a dog.
Ssniunn. Tho "pasters and fold
ers" of tho Pennsylvania Legislature
got old Simon wig-wag to get up a
special train by which all loyal dis
posed members of that body should
proceed to ashington to seo tho old
Chiei sworn in on tho 4th. They
turned up a littlo Into in the morning,
and when they got tl tho Senate
Chamber tho galleries wcro all filled
with "Lincoln's pet lambs," and feel
ing a littlo modest about crowding
lheir"colorcd brethren" they attempt
ed ft flank movement, and had a mo
tion made to allow them seats on the
floor, but when tho officer put tho mo
tion but two Senators voted for it.
Horrified and chagrined, they turned
upon their heels and put for Harris
burg. Soon after their arrival a series
of resolutions wero introduced and
passed in tho Senate bitterly denounce-
ing iho treatment of their colleagues
by the Rump. Tho next morning,
however, on a motion of Senator Big-
ham, of Pittsburg, tho wholo proceed
ings wero expunged from tho journal.
Simon had telegraphed that night
tho servant compelled tho master to
devour himself.
Alarmed. On Friday lust, whilo
tho Washington Rump were discussing
the question of the Kingdom of Cana
da, tho old Winnebago Chief, moved
by honest tindires, stepped to tho front
with tho following inquiry :
Nr. CAMLRON introduced a resolution In
Mrii'iii'R the Committee cm Foreign llelatinna to
inquire what ptept are ncccMaty to prevent foreign
government from introducing upon Ihir eonlmcul
hittitutiont and gnvernmente contrary to Ihoae
e.talilirhrd by the founrli-raof tlnr ItcpiiMte, Ac.,
which wn referred lo the Comioilloe on Foreign
It fin linn a.
That is nil right, but why did he
not extend his inquiry a littlo farther
and also iuquiro why governments
and institutions established "by the
founders of this Republic," aro wiped
out by a miserable Rump, and a Mili
tary Hespotisin established in their
stead ! Simon, watch your own lib
erties a little closer, and don't bother
yourself quite so much about tho busi
ncsj of your neighbors ; at least until
rou arrrrp rotir own donr rlenn.
The .tVir 1nnrlran IHnfilom.
A bill is before the Hiilieh Parlia
ment for tho confederation of the
Hrilish Provinces, to iho north of the
United States,
under the name and
stylo of "the Kingdom of Canada."
This new government is to bo simi
lar to that of tho mother country
tho supremo authority to ho exercised
by tho Sovereign, through tho repre
sentative of tho Crown, and there is
to bo a Senuto, corresponding to tho
llouso of Lords, nnd a Popular Cham
ber, corresponding to tho llouso of
Commons. Our northern journals
und politicians are terribly exercised
over this contemplated Kingdom. In
tho New England States tho move
ment is fiercely denounced. Tho
Muino Legislature has passed a series
of resolutions, amounting nearly to a
declaration of war against England.
Poor souls! They don't appear to
comprehend the fact that civil liberty
is crushed out in a largo portion of
their own household, und a new des
potic Kingdom established in ten free
' "
and independent Stat
'
cs. Theso hypo
crites novcr say a word about the dev
iltry going on at their own hetrths,
but they set up n tremendous howl if
their neighbors happen to do some
thing unsuited to their tastes. The
peoplo of Canada ought to be thankful
that they are under so benign aud se
cure a government as Englund, instead
of an hermaphrodite concern liko ours,
where we loudly clamor for everything
pertaining to liberty, freedom, free
speech and a freo press ; but all prac
tically crushed out, and a Military
Despotism substituted, and that ad
ministered by a set of ignorant, do
bauched jackasses who are about ns
fit to Eovcrn whilo peoplo as a wolf
would be to raiso lambs. Ye hypo
crites ! how can yon expect to escape
tho wrath and vengeance of a onco
free, but now betrayed people.
2s early Wound Up. The great im
pcachcr Ashley together with his
project, nearly camo to grief on the
4th instant. Rut for the clamor of
some of the members of Rump No. 2
Butler, Logan, and a few others,
who wish to make themselves ridicu
lous also ho would hnvo been com
pelled to return his bill ignoramus, nnd
liromulguto himself an ass. Thero is
no doubt but that a largo majority of
tho old Rump aro ashamed, becnusoof
their miserable failure, and opposed to
contiuiio further proceedings, but the
demands of tho new members brought
about a continuation of the farce.
Theso conspirators cannot, and they
dare not if they could, impeach Tresi
dci.t Johnson. It is only done to draw
public attention to a focus upon this
point, while greater crimus are com
mitted by them, but excite no alarm.
Starvation. A dispatch from Wash
ington says :
Further account from Alabama and Georgia
reprenint the rirntitution greater than beretotore
stated, licathn are reported from atarvetioa in
Alabama, while a leading prprr in tieorgia enti
matia the total number atarving there at fill,0HU.
Who cares for starving "rebels?"
Such frivolity can receive no attention
from "loyal" minds while tho great,
questions of reconstruction and tho
upbuilding and strengthening of the
Radical party aro on hand. Such old
fogy clap-trap as starvation is nothing
in comparison with tho good work of
loyalty and freedom. Ah !
"A Good Beuinmnu. Messrs. Selye
and Stewart, two Independent Iemo
crats elected from New York to the
4l th Congress, attended the first meet
ing of the Republican eaucus."-.ouTH(.
The points in this sensation joko is
that there is no such member as Selye
from that Slate, and so fur as Stewart
is concerned it is not true. It would
be ubout as truthful for "old nick" to
say that ho was a Christian, as for a
man who attends Disunion caucuses
lo claim thai ho is a Democrat.
Awm. ! A wrt L 1 ! Although tho
loyal Rump at Washington hns run a
prayer meeting aud a temperance
leaguo for three months past, yet Sen
ator Wilson, tho houd of tho former,
stated in his seat on Friday last, that
tho committee rooms in tho Capitol
wcro littlo better than grog shops.
This is awful, when wo reflect thut all
things are just now adjusted on the
"grand moral idoo" plon, and in tho
interest of loyalty.
The celebrated loyalist, San ford Con
over, tho perjurer, has been denied a
new trial, ond hns been sentenced to
tho penitentiary. Wo suppose that
Holt and Stanton will try hard for his
pardon. Poor loyal soul ! Forsaken
by nil his associates in the hour of
need nnd distress !
A Loyal Ca.nuidatk. The Demo,
crals of New Hampshire aro literally

which ho promised "shall bo strictly

First Xo pardon will bo granted

Mmplc minded people believed these
rules would bo observed, und many of
tho abuses that had heretofore been
'connected with tho exercise of the
pardoning power, avoided. Hut those
who were acquainted with tho vasoili
ating character of our new Governor
wero not deceived by his professions.
llo was tho first to violato his own
regulations, and tho manner in which
it was done is refreshing to the lovers
of consistency and honest dealing, viz :
Jonathan Richer, a Judge of Elec
tion in Herks county, was recently
tried in that county for misdemeanor,
in having refused to receive the vote
of Samuel Reiucrl, an alleged deserter,
at tho OuUibcr election, und on trial
was convicted. The fact wus laid bo
fcro tho Governor by tho political
friends of the prisoner, and when he
was called up for sentence, his attor
ney presented to the Court a full und
freo pardon from Governor Geary;
and Mr. Ilichcr was accordingly liber
ated. Ho has also pardoned Mark
Kceney und li. S. Thomas, two elec
tion ollieers of Wyoming county, who
had benn sentenced to pay a lino of
?oU and costs, each. Did he, in this " Crane, (IVm.) Ninth district, in

He exacted nono of tho testimony
which he declared to be necessary be-
furo tho issue of a pardon, nnd which
ho had laid down in the above regula
tions. He violates good faith lo shield
a partisan friend from punishment,
and treats tho decision of tho Supreme
Court with contempt.
With this instanco of Punic faith at

This anises, largely, out of tho polili

ol substituting government paper for

Ilutthero are somo special causes,
not sutliciently attended to, that aro

that tho greenbacks that are afloat,

Every man of fixed, property in this
