Thuredhy Morning, May 2, 1867.
SlrrntM on ittcomlrurlion.
Senator Wilson, Judge Kelly, and
a lot of other loyal humbugs, are
tamping the Southern States in favor
of nogro suffrage, declaring to the
pooplo of that seolion that if they ac
cept the conditions of the Military
Despotism bill and send loyul Aboli
tioniets to Congress, they will at
onco be restored to their original po
sition in the Union. To this pro
gramme the club-footed Jacobin (Sto
Tens) objects In the following plain
style:
Such articles as thif are calculated to da much
harm. They throw obstacles in the war of future
reconstruction, being quoted and relied on as
pledges by the Hepubliran party, lleuce much
trouble arose from certain expressions contained
in a bill which waf reported by the Reconstruction
Committee of the Thirty-ninth Congress, though
never panted. It was perverted b.r faction ud
folly iutn an argument againat the whole pan?
and Congress.
Ihia generally arises from the carelessness of
the reporteri, and sometimes, douhtless, from the
inadvertence of the speaker. No man should
make promises for the parly. By what authority
doet any one aay that by the election of loyal del
egate! they will be admitted ? By what authority
does anyone aay that Virginia will eleot two loyal
Senators, while in truth there is no Virginia?
Much il to b done by the people and Congress
before any representatives, or benators, or rotate
can be recognised. Who authorised any Senator
to tay there would be no confiscation, as in anoth
er place J
These things are too flippantly said. I thinh
they had better be gravely pondered. Who is au
thorised te travel the eonntry and peddle out am
nesty? I would say to the moat guilty, expect
punishment and then quietude, bat first a mild
confiscation to pay those who have been robbed
by disloyal men. These are my wishes, and mine
only, perhaps.
Thus the people have another reve
lation on reconstruction from the
commander-in-chief. Thad. had bet
ter withdraw the pickets, 'Wilson,
Kelly k Co., and give them their or
ders. The old h3-ena is crsty on con
fiscation, lie, under this title, would
as soon rob the widow and orphans
of their farm in "Virginia as a common
horso thief would his neighbor of bis
borso, with this difference : lie would
get t lio Rump to authorize him to
steal by promising to divide the plun
der, while a horse thief might not be
so successful because of the in6lgni6
cance of the business, and would
thercforo be compelled to suffer if
caught by the civil officers of the law.
Under the tutelage of loyalty larceny
is rendered respectable by terming it
confiscation getting your neighbor's
property without paying for it. This
is what Stevens and his backers arc
at, and if they fully succeed it will be
joke on "grand moral ideas." Un
til the Southern people consent to
give all thoir property to Thad. Ste
vens and tho negroes, there will be
no Union. lie is as crazy on confis
cation as John Brown was on eman
cipation, and if be does not soon tack
about his soul will march along too.
It seems very strango that while sen
sible men are alive, a fanatical fool
like Stevens should be the loader of a
party. Yet, this is tho fact, however
unpalatable it may be.
GrrTiNO Liberal. AVe observe
that the loyalists of Marylund,in view
' of tho approaching Slato Convention,
are issuing calls for County Conven
tions, inviting everybody, "without
distinction of race or color," to attend.
The hop-step-and-juiiip leaders of the
Disunion party in this country seem
to be as full of changes (none, howev
er, intermediately) as the leopard is of
spots, but always of an oxtremo char
acter. It is but a few years ago that
these samo buffoons allowed "none
but Americans to be put on guard j"
even their fathers and grandfathers
were excluded from their conventions,
if they hnppcncd to be "filthy Irish
or Dutchmen ;" but now they arc
ready to alTiliato with negroes, bub
boons, or anything, for the purpose of
continuing their rulo and power, to
tax and rob the people. This gignn
tio swing around the circle should
attract the attention of all patriots,
and establish to their view as clear as
the noonday sun, tho fact that the
Radical leaders are as subject to dis
honesty as they aro to changes, and
that which is to-dny transpiring in
Maryland will be adopted in Penn
sylvania before October next. The
white voters must either submit to
negro equality or vote tho Democrat it
ticket in the future, in order to save
their offsprings from mongrel isin.
A Little -Mixed. We olxwrvo by
our loyal exchanges that there is to
be a Stato Convention held at Wil
liamsport, on Wednesday, tho 20tb
day of Juno next, for the purpose of
nominating a loyal randidato for Ru
preme J udgo. The Black Republicans
travol tinder a great many aliases.
Some of their journals call it a ''Union
Slate Convention," others say "Re
publican Stato Convention," while
wlme blend both and call it a "Union
Republican Convention." If an indi
vidual were to travol through the
country under two or three different
names ho would bp denounced as a,
scoundrel. Jf this is so, bow can the
Black Republican party escape a like
diumr
"Hm- frotrfi."
The Philadelphia Ycaa, and other
loyal journals, occasionally set lip a
terrible howl over tho numerous mur
ders and other heinous crimes com
mitted throughout the country. Tho
Dead Duck and his aids seem to bens
ignorant as a female dog wo onco
heard of "so dumb that she did not
know her own pups." Theso lcllows
are jio ignorant that they do not
recognize their own crimes. Tho
seed they sowed from 18ii8 to 1H04 is
just now springing up, and tho coun
try Is gathering tho harvest. Tho
impudonce ahd hypoerucy of thoso
loyul blood hounds exceeds that of
the Devil himselt. Although they
kept a school open at Washington
and beyond the Potomac for four
years for the education of thousands
of thoir subjects in tho scienco of
murder, arson, robbery and confisca
tion, thoy now exhibit symptoms of
mortification and regret at the horri
ble crimes daily committed around
them. The sheaves, in the shape of
taxos and crime, tha, tho people are
gathering, are tbo practical results
that flow from a republican form of
government, whon that government
is administered by knaves and fools.
The law-mukers who confiscate, an
nually, ten per cent, of our property
to keep up negro bureaus and "loyal"
office holders, aro no better than those
of Europe; and the diabolical attempt
to iguoro the distinction between
races as set forth by the Creator,
by blending the white and black, is
as wicked as tho practico of boring
holes through the tongues of Quakers
on Boston common in 1058, by the
Puritans of that day. The leaders of
the Black Republican party are not
the first men who became alarmed at
their own crimes; and if their lives
are spared they will fare much better
than their brother oppressors in other
ooun tries.
Our neighbor of the Journal, we
presume, accounts for the evils with
which we are afflicted, as being in
strict "accordance with enlightened
propriety."
Poor Fellow ! Sanford Conover,
'he co l.tborer of Stanton, Holt & Co.,
late of the "Bureau of .Military Just
ice," was, after a long delay, on Thurs
day last sentenced to the Albany Pen
itentiary for ten years. If ever justice
takes placo and the law is enforced
aguinst his confederates in perjury
and crime, thoy will have an oppor
tunity of concocting and rehearsing
more testimony, but this time to
shield their friends from the pains
and penalties of a violuted law and nn
outraged pooplo. Loyalists, wo have
no doubt, will sympathize with their
unfortnnato brother, and should be
die before his term expires a move
ment will no doubt bo mado to erect
a monument to his name and fame.
John Brown, Lincoln, and Conover,
th roc links tho gallows, theatre, and
a penitentiary lost out of the loyal
chain and lineage of devoted patriots,
statesmen and heroes! Our Devil
thinks the country cannot long sur
vivo the loss of this mighty talent.
We could weep over tho thoughts if
we had an onion at hand.
Another Humuuo: Shelved. The
Journal last week announced that the
Now York loyalists, "strictly in ac
cordance with enlightened propriety,"
had nominated Barnum's partner
Rev. Henry Ward Bcechcr for Dele
gate to tho Constitutional Conven
tion, but "in accordance with" some
other "propriety" tho Rev. humbug
has been defeated, running far behind
his ticket. It might not be in accord
ance with "enlightened propriety,"
but Brother Beecher and his loyal
friend Barnnm, lato of Connecticut,
had better invest their joint religion,
loyalty and humbuggery in one con
cern, and get up a religious museum
in some loyal locality, where their
friends of tho "grand moral idea"
persuasion can patronize them to
their hearts content.
At Work. We observe by our loy.
al exchanges that tho white bureau
agents in the Sonth aro busily at
work among their "colored brethren,"
instmcting them in the rights of free
men. The bureau men aro calling
loyal meetings "without distinction of
race or color," in all the Southern
Slates; none but loyal pussuns are
permitted to participate in tho pro
ceedings. We also learn fro.n our
Southern exchanges that theso large
meetings aro usually mado up of from
twenty to thirty negroes, wbo have
been clothed and fed at tho bnreau
crib for tho past throe years, and one
or two while agents of the Plymouth
Rock persuasion. A bully mix !
Statr Convention. Tho Demo
cratic State Convention will meet nt
llarrisburg on Tuesday, tho 11th day
of Juno next, for the purpose of nom
inating a Judge of the Supreme Court.
At this distance from the Bceno of ac
tion it looks as though lion. Georgo
Sharswood, of Philadelphia, would be
the choice. There is not a more com
petent man in tho Slato for that posL
tion.
A Bor in Ulack.. The boss of the
negro bureau General Howard ha
appointed Charles, son of Frederick
Douglass, the negro, to a clerkship in
the best drawer of the concern. IIow
ar you, "boytin blusr '
. tHmpcr bf hind Hit .rfnsA.
A colored Baptist minister at Beau
fouit, S. ('., writing to the Christian
lii Wil, among other things,' says :
" Some of otir while ministerial friends
" do more In tho way of procuring
" farms and keeping our poor race in
" ignorance than anything clso. They
" pretend, when they aro North, that
" they would como down and do any.
" thing for our raco in the way of en
" lightening them ; but instead of this,
u whon they sco tho cotton gag, they
" forget all about Christ and Him cru-
" cifled, and tho savins of souls." Of
certain Northern merchants, lio says:
" All they wish to do, is teach what
" President Lincoln has done, pat tho
" colored man on tho shoulder with
" tho left hand, whilo with tho right
" hand they catch hold of his pocket
" book. And when they havo got the
" last cent from him, their friendship
" suddenly ceases. Then, 'ho is only
" a nigger.' " Wo suspect that the
"colored brother" in this instance ro
vcals more trulh than poetry in refer
ence to tho practices of Rovcrend poli
ticians. They aro Satan's vicegerents
on earth, and go about like roaring
lions, seeking to devour somebody.
"Pet lambs" and cotton balos bad
better bo kept under key whilo they
are about.
nis Associates. John W. Forney
is about sailing for Kuropo, for the
purpose of investing his plunder more
safely. Ho has publibhed in "my two
papers, both daily," a card to bis
negro associates, announcing his de
parture in the following style:
"This notice is published for the Information
particularly of the frreiiiaeti and other I nnm em
sens of the Houth, with whom Col. Forney has
been in close and onetant correspondence, lor
several Tears part. Their suggestions and wishes
will not be neglected, although he may nut be per
sonally present to altend to them."
This is lovely, if not divine! yet
this political hypocrite is only doing
this menial work for the African
for his own aggrandizement, the in
terest of tho negro being of a second
ary nature. No respectable white
people could claim such attention at
tho hands of this celebrated loyalist.
Over. The war speck in Europe
has blown over. Congress of all
tho great Towers is to assemble in
England, on tho lulli of May inst., to
adjust tho diiTiculty between Napoleon
and Bismarck, arising out of tho Lux
emburg cmbroglio. We presume the
backers of theso celebrated loyalists
havo realizod their millions of dollars
out of the slocks they bavo reduced
and secured. Europe seems to be in
more danger from her stock gamblers
than from any other sourco. Green
back Chase is the father of all the
stock gambling fraternity in this
country, and the Prussian despot,
Bismarck, in Europe. They both use
tho liberties and property of their
subjects to enrich their friends. They
are not literally highwaymen, but
they get their riches in tho samo way.
Post Orrcc RoniituiEs. The post
office at Lock Haven was broken into
on last Saturday night, and robbed
Tho letters were all torn open, the
contents takon out, and scattered
all around the neighborhood of the
post offico. Thero seems to be a sys
tematic attempt lately to rob post
offices. It must be done by the friends
of the "late lamented," who have been
dismissed by "tho Government," but
think they ought still to control things
as they did in the days of Old Abe.
During his reign, posimastors were so
addicted to oponing letters in search
of treason, that now the perpetrate
burglary in order to get letters.
Wo neglected to slato last week
that the Rump Sen a to bad adjourned
the Saturday previous, much to the
joy of all true Union men. What
happy results would follow if, by some
miraculous event, the "nine men would
never meet again on this continent.
Since the Rumpcrs have gone home
tho war against tho Union has closed
in a measure, and the man must bo
very blind that "can't soe it." . The
peace, property, and harmony of the
Republic is as much in danger while
tho Rump is in session, as the treasure
in a bank would bo if tho building
was surrounded by a band of burglars.
A Lotal Featliik. We observe
by tho Mcrcor rrrss, that tho Grand
Jury of that county, at their last
term, condemned the practice of con
fining black and white, and malo and
female prisoners in tho samo room in
tho jail of that county, but pnllintc
tbo conduct of tho Sheriff, and the do
moralizing influences arising from the
practice, by stating that the prisoners
are more plentiful than tho rooms.
This county is exceedingly loyal, en
joys tho felicity of a prohibitory
liquor law, has a temperance bdge in
every borough and township, and yet
seems to bo very much demoralized.
Tin Lincoln Hounk. A number
of enterprising negroes have opened
a first class hotel in llsgerstown, Md.,
and honor it with the name of the
"late lamented." If any of our loyal
friends from this section should bnp
pon to turn up in Hagerstown, they
will of course patronizo tho "Lincoln
House." A roso by auothor name
may smell as sweet, but a hotel under
this name, and kept by "Ameiicaa
citizens of African descent," dares not
be shunned by loyalists. We make
no charge for advertising this loyal
enterprise.

the negroes to the IteptiMican party,
but to excilo their passions ngainsit
tho whilo people of the South, by ap
pealing to negro ciipidily. Tho mew
of address is to tell the freedinen that
the lands of their old masters belong
to them, that theso lands ought to be
eonfisonted by tho Government and
divided among theni,nnd that the
condition of tho two races should be
altogether changed 1 This monstrous
doctrino of confiscation and of war
between tho two races finds numerous
advoentea among tho extreme Radi
cals North and South. It is pushed
right and lull, nnd its effect is both
injurious upon business, crops, people,
States, country, cvory body and every
thing.
Such missions as have been under
taken by Senator Vilson,nnd arranged
by Kollcy, of Pa., and other Radicals,
aro calculated to produce tho worst
fueling and the grcalest possiblo mis
chief. Tho avowod object is partisan
ship, not tho good of the negro, mor

do this, tho old planters and old mer

tho iconic themselves, uro to be puint

Tho negro is to bo taught to halo the

responsibility. What euro such men

or to society, or to the negro who, in
tho end, will be mado great deal

know they will not suffer, in their per
sons or property, by it.
It is diflicult to perceive of a more
pernicious purpose, or ono calculated,
accoidingto the measure of this influ

our hope is, that tho negro will see
his own interest and know his own
friends. When tho war closed, the
