What a mockery it is to call this
country-of ourfj 'a Kepnblic," while
nearly one hulf of it is under the
hjels of a" pure military dospotism
administered by the greatest fools of
that persuasion.

new suspension bridgo at Niagara
Falls is progressing rapidly, and is to
bo completed by fall.' This bridgo is
to connect the Canada shore with the
American from ui point a little below
tho celebrated Clifton House to
point just below the International
Hotel on this Bido, and will undoubt
edly becomo moro popular than the
old bridge.
It is supposed by some that the
'Loyal," "Union," ".Republican," etc

and is bourne down with aliases, will
eoon bo baptized as tho "Blockhead"

the loyal members of the Now York
constitutional convention, named 11 is-
cox, has been indicted for murder
and is now confined in tho Albany
jail. He is a brother of U. S. Senator
Cole, of California. Ho charges His.

was absent iu tho army. Each of the
parties have a wifo and two daugh

states that Samuol E. Woodruff, Esq.,

re progoasticating terrible things
with refcrenco to their bell-wether
Greeley who they fear is about for
Baking his "blockhead" relations.
Horaco, during tho war, away down
in New York, where ho was safe,
shouted vehemently "on to Rich
mond," and, by his energy and real,
got more men into the field to com
plete the John Brown raid than Lin
coln himself ; yet, after all this enthu
siasm, Horace was tho first of all the
Radical leaders to get to Richmond ;
and for this heroism he is about being
crucified by his brethren, or perhaps
Lung on "a sour apple troo."
Tng Song Changed. Tho Black
Republican party is as full of didactics
as a dog is of fleas. During and since
the closo of tho war, every street
lane, alley, avenue, highway, parlor,
and many churches, in short, every
thing that was loyal, gavo utterance
to that well known melodious strain,
"We'll hang Jeff. Davit
On soar apple tree," eta.
which has resulted in hanging the
aforesaid Jefferson DaTis on the neck
of Horace Greeley, and they have
even went so fur as to cut every limb
off tho apple tree for fear they would
hang Horaco. This is another evi
dence that tho present Disunion par
ty are unable, or unfit, to carry out
anything they undertake, unless it is
to rob the treasury or tho people.
This they do as solemnly and as long
facrdly as their brethren, tho Thari
accs, did two thousand years ago.

Wbou.we read some of the mani
festoes which emanate from the mili
tury satraps in tho South, we some
times wondir whether we have been
transplanted to somo European do
minion, or whether somo monurch has
come to America and gobbled us up
wliilo wo slept. Before the advent of
Black Republicanism, Americans wero
controlled and protoctcd by law; but
now, a freeman is rendered a mere
machine whether he bo governor, or
acting in somo humbler sphere of life.
Wo are led to these, remarks after
rending an order issued at Now Or
leans, by tho Shonandonh Valley
raider, Shoridan, who has undertaken
to mako a Governor for tho Stuto of
Louisiana in tho following European
style :

A tool named Plunders was

quainted with tho present loyul mode
of making Governors, remonstrated,
and properly refused to vacate und
deliver up the records of his office;
honce the above "Headquarters," etc.,
from Sheridan. Gov. Wells, at the
point of tho bayonot, surrendered all
the records of his office, but informed
the military hero that ho would tost

after which Flanders was bavoneted
into the Gubernatorial chuir.
Some old fogy once mid, "Where
liberty dwells, thero is my county."
Were he back, and ablo to review tho
workings of Black Republicans, he
would no doubt paraphrase, his former
philippic into "Where Sheridan dwells,
there liberty perishes "
This military despot is only erecting
the milestones along the highway
over which the Black Republicans in
tend to lead tho American pooplo; and
unless they dismiss their present task
masters, they will bo as completely
Pulundized as that unhappy country
over winch despotism rides dry
shod, and its inhabitants rendered
tho meanest slaves on earth. Our
admonitions to tho people are, study
history, and comparo the lessons of
Black Republicanism with the historic
page.
Loyal P'beaks. Tho Washington
correspondent of tho Philadelphia
Mercury, in writing about the con
duct of the "pet lambs" on Sunday
before tho election in that city, says :
"On Pnnilay evening laat, the colored churches
weraall crowded to a jsm with the brethren and
sisters from all sections of the country, within a
radius of thirty miles, and the loud shouts of hal
lelujah that rent the air of the Sabbath night, in
dicated that the sons of Ham and fain imagined
that the day of jubilee was at band, and that all
were going lo glorr with the almost dispatch.
"Little Heaven," Beth.l," "Little Hell, and
those of the ilaptist persuasion, took the lead in
Iheso temporal matters, and election tickets were
served out to the negroes at the communion ser
vice, amid the singing of 'John ltrown'i bodv,'
and other ieeuliar and classical bymns, suitable
to the time and occasion."
The correspondent also states that
many "whito niggers" wero present
and assisted in making the election
arrangements. Administering tho
leading sacrament of tho church, dis
tributing tickets for tho election, and
singing "John Brown's body," etc., at
tho capital of a christiun tuition, seems
like blending tho subliino and ridicu
lous a little, but then it is dono by
"loyal" pooplo, and must of necessity
be right
"Victory." Thus have shouted
the negroes and loyal whites through
out the country the pnst week. Well
they may. Hell no doubt is tumultu
ous, too. 1 ho Capital of tho nation is
in tho handsof perjurers, illegal voters,
negroes and mean whites. Hence,
everything controlled by "grand mor
al ideas" shouts "victory !" We call
tho attention of our readers to an
artido taken from tho Waxhington
inUlhgcnccr, upon the lato municipal
election in that city. It was sup
posed that when the war would closo
legal voting would cease, but such
not tho fact. Those who stuffed
ballot boxes durinir tho war are at
tho samo loyal work still, and will
continuo their infamous culling until
the peoplo rcmovo them from power,
or send them to tho penitentiary.
Tho editor ol tho Venango Specta
tor, in passing along tho street on tho
day of tho Badieal county convention,
overheard An nnxioiis and excitable
mamma address her pretty littlo
dati(;hter in tho following stylo :
"AucaWa wjr drar, take your dull and star in
the huuw. I cannot rllow Toa lo s:n intn'tlis
ftrwl vbils an sissy nf those St England drrgj
men are running around."
The point will bo moro distinct
wiicn wo state that half a seoro of
oily clergymen were delegates to, nnd
three were candidates before that
"grand moral idea" body. Danghtors
seem to bn in as much danger in Yen
ango as horses aro in this section,
though not from tho samo causn.

It appears upon invcntifatlon that
the must stupendous (minis ever nt
leinnlvtl to bo perpetrated wero used
in tlio recent election in this city.
They wero so stupendous that no hon
est man in the city ever dreamed they
would bo attempted. It was not sup
posed that tho judical adventurers iu
our midst could possibly bo so lost to
every Benso ot justice, truth, anil pro
prirty iTn to bo guilty of such enormi
ties. It was canceled that election
frauds would bo pcrpctrnted. It was
expected that hundreds of negroes
not, cniuicu to vote would uo pltiecd
upon tho registry; but the manipula
tors of tho schomo wero not sntistiud
with contingencies. They had the ro
sun all arrangod. P.ven it the Con
servative voters had lircsontod an ar
ray of votes otiual to three thousand
majority upon a laij vote thoy wero
prepared to ovoreoina it. This result
was provided for weeks ago. Tho ev
idences of it will bo forthcoming at
tho proper timo. They wero not
known until too Into to bo acted upon
during tho election.
Tho frauds perpetrated aro so glar
ing as naruiy to need exposure. Up
on tlio morning alter tho election
thero wero crowds of country negroes
lound waiting lor transportation to
ineir Homes 111 ilarylund any V irgiiiia
who had voted, here. .Thsv had been
brought from all quarters outside of
the city, and wero indignant that af
ter having complied with, their con
tract to vote in tVaNhiiiirton, thoy
were not provided, as slipulutud, Willi
transportation to their homes. It
may bo that some of theso samo no
groes will bo swill witnesses against
their employers, and help to show
that tJso election here was an enor
mous fraud, and tho result attributa
ble to tlio perjury of uegrocs suborn
ed by tho manipulators of tho negro.
It may bo well for gentlemen who
deem their sociul position libovo ro
proach to congratulate themselves
upon the result of the election, but it
would be better for somo of them to
prepare themselves against a criminal
prosecution under tho election laws
lor subornation of perjury and in-
terference with tho election.
Apart from the frauds, the manner
in which the Radicals thrust obstacles
in the way of polling tho whito voto
is simply outrageous. In somo of tho
wards, in winch tho voto to bo cast
was greater than oould be possible un
der tho arrangements made, tho com
missioners of election had agreed toa
programmo to havo a fair election.
They hud arranged among themselves
that there should be two lines of vot
ers, one of whites, the other of Mucks,
and that each should bo allowed al
ternately to put ia four votes. This
was a perfectly fair and satisfactory
arrangement, but our information is
that the Superintendent of Police
broko up this arrangement, and com
pelled the whito voters who wero pre
pared to voto under tins arrangement
of tho commissioners, to take position
in tho rear of tho negro voters. Na

Tho utartlin-r announcement is made
that tho internal revenue has fnllen off
for March ar.tl April, of tho current
year, at least 40 per cent., and that,

entire year, the falling off in tlvo ag

southern States, supporting the In

ditional bounties, &c., a considerable
increase on tho publio debt is inevita
ble, it was liio rulo or tlio military,
and lhecxessivo taxation required to
support them, that stumped out every
vestsgo of civil liberty in Jiomo, nod
wo aro following her bad example.
Tho masses of tho pooplo must bo
ground year by year in o denser and
more hopeless ignorance and slavery
in order to eke out tho payment of
tho taxes. Already an Abolition pa
per admonishes "the working people"
thnt they "must be content with plain
er clothing, oat loss meat, abstain
from the use of beer and tobacco, and
all luxuries." This is, of course, what
they will have tocomo to, if tho debt
and its attendant evils aro fastened
upon our country. In all debt-ridden
countries, tho object of tho bondhold
ers is to reduco the laboring classes to
the minimum of food to support life,
and sccuro the requisite labor. In
somo districts in Europe, luborers
sleep in burns, or under ricks and
hedges, have no lodgings nt all, and
get but a few penco per day. Thous
ands of families, who are considered
well tiff, scarcely know tho taste of
meat. This is tho condition to which
