of tht tudiom obferter of political
rtnt that th lUdlml membrr of
"v tb jrnt Cortpr? .r determined
not to ret until they bv overturned
onrprveentformof gnrernmant. Con
titutiontl right and gaaranteei hare
ceaied long Ince to be any obstacle
ia tbeir pathway. National incon
venience and national taffering they
have come to consider at "triflei light
at air" in comparison with the auocest
cf their infamous schemes. Controll
ing by the tyranny of a large majority
in both houses, although, in the light
of the elections last full they have
been condemned by a majority of the
voters of the North, tbey aspire to
become the master of the nation.
Step by step they have cleared one
obstacle alter another out of their
pathway. The constitutional doctrine
of State ilights was the first object
of their assault, and they have suc
ceeded by means of unconstitutional
legislation in prostrating this barrier,
and reducing SUtes to mere municipal
dependencies of the Federal bead ;
nny, in the case of the ten Southern
States, to mere tributaries to the pow
er and will of Congress. But then a
new obstacle confronted them in the
bape of Executive vigor and decision.
President Johnson, comprehending
thoroughly the aim and object of the
oongrevsional conspiracy, tbre' bim
if like a lion across their path. He
baa boldly attempted to defend bis
department against the usurpations of
the Kamp, and the excited traitors and
disunion itt ta of this "fragmentary body,
hanging on the verge ot the Govern
ment," are now moving down in solid
tohalanz upon this last retrenchment,
behind which stands the defender of
constitutional government. Tbiaonce
carried, and the citadel will be in the
bands of the enemy.
The Radical press, ever aince the
advent of Johnson into power and
, tbeir discovery that be could not be
; used to carry out their base purposes,
j have been ringing the changes on Ex-
ecutive usurpation. Lincoln clothed
. himself with the robe of a dictator,
I and, through his Secretary of State,
' rung men into bastiles, despoiled them
of their property, and, in the language
of the Suprome Court in the Million
case, "played the despot with a high
, hand ; and yet not a line then about
Executive usurpation. This country,
r in fact, has always boen in more dan-
ger Irora the many-headed tyranny of
' legislative despotism than from the
- power of one man and so the astute
writer iu the Federalist always appre
hended. Hamilton, in speaking of the
Executive department, says :
"Tht mm rate which UkIim Ik propriety of

,oo,oho likewise that this partition oaght to be so
Mvewtrived as to muter the ooo independent of tee

plo io a popaiar assembly seem sometimes to faocy
that tbey ara tbo pooplo themselves, aod strongly
betray symptoms of impatioaae aad disgust at the
teaat sign of oppotilioa fro to any other quarter."
But little did those great and emi
nently patriotic men who laid the
foundation of this Government ima-
gine that the time would ever come
when the legislative department,
spurning all constitutional right and
trampling down ever constitutional
' limitation and check, would crush out
' the rights of ten States in Union, es
tablish military government, give
' over nearly one-bait' of this Union to
' the reign of martial law, arrogate to
iUelf the right to strip the Executive
of all his constitutional prerogatives,
; threaten and bully the Supreme Court,
and declare itself openly and defiant
, ly the arbiter of the nation's will. .
The man must be instensely xtupid
and destitute of forcaet, who cannot
read clearly the interpretation of the
. aigns around him. A pamphlet is now
being scattered broad-cat over the
J country, bearing the ear-marks of
that notorious incendiary and traitor
on every page, advocating the wiping
, out of the Kxective office, "and the
establishment instead of an Executive
Dictatory, selected by Congress from
their own body." Capitalists and plu
tocrats, engaged in the narrow and
corrupting business of money getting,
.affect to sneer at these warnings, and
by their example and indifference
cause many honest, well-meaning peo
ple to close their eyes to the perils
that threaten the interest of the Gov
ernment and the country. They are
the same senseless, stupid, stolid class,
who encouraged the people to believe
that the late civil war was a war for
the restoration of the Union, and the
preeervation of the Constitution, who
believed In tbe existence of the most
unlimited and undefined despotism in
the Government during war. Thev

20G2. CLEARFIELD, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1868. NEW
TA True Character of tkt Jtfgro.
We clip tho following letter from a
late number of the Mow York Day
Book. It is without doubt as correct
a delineation of free negroism as can
be found :
Colombus, Texas, Feb. 1. 1SG8.
Gchts I was once a reader of your
paper, and from it learned, before
emancipation tho true character of
tbe negro. At that time I had never
seen a "free" negro, and hoped, though
facts of every chnracter impressed mo
differently, that a negro, "free," would
work ; consequently, I pave him s
fair trial, and am now satisfied out of
so-called slavery, us is a curse to him
self and to society, and will ruin our
government if mete partisan fueling
shall bold bim up much longer. God
has certainly made bim of a different
nature, and no legislation can ever
make him think of a provision for the
future. He has do oare for the mor
row whatever. He lots every day
provide for itself. Such is true of
more than ninety in a hundred, and
you cannot teach thorn otherwise.
They seem prone to destruction, and
the United State government cannot
prevent it. For tbe sick; even of their
own offspring, they are wholly tana
froid, but in case of death they will
assemble irora around Tor miles, and
show great regard for the dead. A
funeral seems a matter of grand im
portance, but not a moment will they
spend with the sick 1 Tis strange,
but true, and any honest man who
will come here will find it so. The
Congo reol thev cannot forgo. One
aight they will dance, though the next
day they will spend in praying and
singing. From dark till sunriso they
will indulgo in both. They are leav
ing their wivea in innumerable in
stances, and alwav abandon their
young when too lazy to work for
tbem. Each year increases these
case. To say they have not had any
opportunity is infamously false. They
have been provided with provisions,
team and tools, free of cost, and
allowed one half of what they make,
and yet, are daily becoming poor;
whereas the Germans and foreigner
and working white men are fast be
coming well-to-do in fact, rich. In
truth, the German lands in Texas
without s dime, and in three years
buy himself a comfortable home. A
negro rarely ever docs this. WhyT
Because he will not work, and will
not (rather what be makes. The re
sult is plain to be seen in our country ;
white man coinir back lo the older
state of bis birth, believing he there
can have a irood time without work.
The Mongrels must import wild Afri
cans to Texas if they want them in
the ascendancy. It will require a
largo expenditure to keep it up, but
it must be done very soon, for I tell
you the whit immigration from the
North, South, and Kuropo will soon
fill up Texas.
Congress ought to pass a law to
change tbe negro' disposition to go
back to his old home. It Is certainly
Constitutional, and highly politic in a
partisan sense. By the way, you
and all tbe Democratic papors North,
who hove a feeling for the poor, hard
working man, both mochanio and dai
ly laborer ought to point tbera to the
South, especially where, in a year or
so, they can make a rise. Tell thorn
to bring their wives and little ones,
and tbey will be welcomed with open
bands, if they come, to become a part
and parcel of our people. Never,
never, was there such a good time for
poor working men as now exists in
Texas. I speak of Texas so favorably
because 1 have traversed the whole
United States, and know in anil, cli
mate, and production, the equal of tbe
Colorado region is not to be found in
North America. Men of capital, skill
and enterprise have innumerable fields
for fortunes. A few are finding it out,
and making it pay largely. The Mon
grels down hero write lies North, so
that they can have all to themselves.
But if capitalists would come here,
buy up largo tracts of lands, and set
tle them with whites, they could moke
from 1,000 to 2,000 per cent. Beef is
only worth two cents a pound ; pork,
five cents; cattle $2 per head) land
from $1 to $5 per acre I There are
many places which are offered for cul
tivation , froe of rent or charge. W bore
else is it sof Tbe negro is "lying
round" town and will not work.
While such is the fact, as a matter of
course, white mon do not fail to occu
py land na fast as they come, and
God send a million a year I The white
man is up at day-break ; the negro
after sunrise, and, if cold, he gets up
at 8 or 9 o'clock. Tbe while man
work till sunset; the negro begins
some day at 0 o'clock, some day not
at all, (and Saturday never,) and quit
two or three hour fofore, and would
ralb sleep than work I U doatroys
everything placed in hiscaro-ploughs,
gates, or what not burn up fence
rail before h would get wood, and
make about 15 bushel of corn to the
acre sometimes, and a halo of cotton,
and gets it picked by Christmas. The
white man makes from forty to fifty
bushels of corn to the acre, from five
to eight bales of cotton, and houses
both before tbe last of November!
Can Congress change that f In the
country, the white women is up at
daylight, cooks breakfast, and aften
works in the field, though "raised
rich," but tho negro woman gets
breakfast at 10 o'clock, and sometimes
goes to the field, but docs nothing.
But they will pass away, Congross to
the contrary. As to children, tbey
have them, but rarely raise one beyond
a year old. Such i "fret" negroism.

In 18C4, Montgomery Blair wns a

holding tbo position of Postmaster

diflorod with tho; President on many
important subjects connected with tho
administration ot tbo povernment, and
did not hesitate, to muko those differ
ences known both to the President and
to the public. When these differences
of opinion between tho President and
his Constitutional adviser came to the
knowledge of certain Senators bclonir
ing to Mr. Lincoln' party, they caused
to bo drawn up and atlorwarus signed
and presented to uo i'resident the lol

Accepting the theory tbua advanced
a a sound one, and actios on tbe ad-
vioo of hi party friends, Mr. Lincoln
ignified to Mr. Blair that his resigna
tion would be accepted, and it was at
once tendered.
In 1807, Edwin M. Stanton was a
member of Mr. Johnson' Cabinet.
holding tbe position of Secretary of
y sr. i no President and Mr. btanton
did not agree upon many subjects con
nected with the administration of the
government, but upon this tbey did
agree, via t That the Tenure of Oflice
bill was and is an unconstitutional
enactment, and that the object of its
passage was and is contrary to the
established "thoory of our govern
ment," and to "the early and uniform
r radical construction thereof." In
ins tnuy were ugreuu ; utr mi. o.-
ton heartily endorsed tbe message
vetoing tho act, which was sent to the
Senate. That body, however, as did
also tbe House, passed the act over
the veto, and it becamo a law.
In tbe course of time the differences
bctwoon the President and hi Secre
tary became irreconcilable Never
dreaming that the man who volunta
rily furnished an argument against
the constitutionality of tbe Tenure-of-Office
Act, and who doclarod privately
that it was a most unwarrantable
assault upon tbe prerogatives of the
Executives, would avail himself of its
provision to retain his seat in the
Cabinet after he bad been informed
that be was no longer wanted, Mr.
Johnson signified to Mr. Stanton that
his resignation would be aocepted.
Wbat did Mr. Stanton do f Did ho
follow tbe example of Mr. Blair, and
resign? Not a bit of it. With an
impudence that is surprising, and with
a meanness thnt is disgraceful, even
to bim, the Secretary refused to relieve
the President and the Cabinet of his
hateful presence. II o was suspended.
The reasons for tbe act were sont to
the Senate to the some men who,
just three year previously, had as
serted that "the Cabinet should be
exclusively composod of statesmen
who are tho cordial, resolute, unwa
vering supporters of the President
to the same men who urged the remo
val of Mr. Blair, and nflixed their sig
natures to a paper affirming the right
of tho President to secure "unity of
purpose and action" among hi con
stitutional advisers. What did they
do f They basely, and, we may any,
wickedly interposed in favor of Stan
ton and forced him back into the Cab
inet. Snob a plain act of double deal
ing shows that they ar bound by no
principle, restrained by no precodent.
It shows that they are ready to follow
any road that promises to advance
their party ends. It proves beyond
doubt that bitter pnrtizans now occu
py the sosts where formerly sat states
men and patriots where formerly sat
men who were governed by principle
and who bad only the interests of the
whole country in view. Republican

Waggs went to tho depot of one of

finding the best car full said in a loud

Of course these words caused a gen

In the midst of the indignation Waggs
was questioned :
"You snid this car wasn't going."
"Well, it wasn't then, it is now."

Tho circumstances attending the
Adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence by the continental Con
gress, are as follows : The vote wns
taken by tbe delegations of the thir
teen colonics. Six of tbem voted in
favor nnd six against the measure.
These delegations sat right and left
of tbe President, John Hancock. In
front or him the Pennsylvania dele
gation were seated. '
hen the delegations from all tbe
colonies, except Pennsylvania, had
voted, and it was discovered that they
..v.a uquuuy aiviauu, joiin uauun-e,
perceiving that John Morton, one of
the Pennsylvania delegation, was not
in his scat, and, seemingly aware that
the latter held the casting vote in the
said doiegation In favor or the meas
ure, aroxe, and made a speech, urging
the Pennsylvania delegation to vote
tor independence. . lie continued his
exhortation until he saw John Mor
ton enter the ball when he sat down.
The Pennsylvania delegation stood
equally divided upon tho great issue,
until John Morton gave the casting
vote in favor of the Declaration.
Thus John Morton decided the vote
of Pennsylvania, nnd thus, Pennsyl
vania, by giving the casting vote, de
cided that important question ; and,
from this circumstance she received
the nam e of the "Keystone State,"
tho thirteenth State the block of the
Arch.
Tbe reason why John Morton was
delayed in the occupancy of bis scat
on that occasion was, that a number
of influential persons visited him on
that morning, urging him to vote
against the "Declaration." But they
could not prevail ; and many of thera
did live to soe the time when they had
to acknowledge it was the best thing
be could do, and "the most glorious
service that he had ever rendered to
his country." I
AH honor, then, be ascribed to the
memory of John Morton, of rcnnsyl

The much talked-of long race from
Boston to Worcester, between the
horses Empire State, of this city, and
lvanboo, of Boston, came off recently
and as the result shows, was one
of the most extraordinary and cruel
that has ever taken place in this
country. Tho terms of the match
were to trot from tbe Mill Dam, Bos
ton, to Worcester, for .r00 a aide,
each horse to carry 400 pound, slciv bo
or wheels, rain or shine, play or pay,
Owing to the bad condition of th
road at the Mill Dum, tbe start Was
effected from the Charles Uiver Hotel
in Brighton. Both horses were at
tached to sleighs. Empire State nas
driven by George E. Wesson, and ac
companied by William A. Eager, his
backer, both of this city. The word
was given to go at 10:40 o'clock and
both started off at a moderate gait,
with Empire State loading. From
Brighton to Watertown the road was
bad, the sleighit.g having worn away
to bare ground, nnd progress was
necessarily much impeded. At Water
town the sleighing became good, and
Empire State wo still lcadiog
about fifteen rod, under a strong and
steady pull. He then commenced the
long and powerful stroke for which he
is noted, and trotted with clock-like
precision up hill and down, drawing
his heavy load behind him with ap
parent ease, and trotted so well with
in himself that ho was allowed to go
a be pleased until Northboro was
reached at 12:37. Tbe distance thus
far traveled was twenty-eighty mile,
and t'-io time one hour and fifty-one
minutes, nearly four minute to the
mile. A rest of seven minutes was
here taken, and gruel, wine water and
bay offered the horse, but he refused
and wa with difficulty kept from run
ning away. Once more given hi
bead be eeemed to be possessed, and
trotted mile after mile at a three min
ute gait, and all the time within him
self under a steady pull. This he kept
up until he reached Long Pond, where
he stopped trotting and walked into
me city, arriving at Washington
Square at 1:19 o'clock, having come
tbe last ten mile in 85 minute, and
we whole distance, 88 m.les, in two
hour and thirty -three minutes, which
is a little Ices than a mile in four min
utes for f ho whnU distance.

came sick, and although every effort
was made to savo bim, tbe over-driving
killed him.and hedied at midnight
of spasmodic cholio. Ivanhoe, his
competitor, wa last seen at Water-
town, but arrived at Northboro long
after the winner had left, and finding
it no use to follow, his driver wisely
wunarow irorn ine race ana put up
tbe horse. Empire State, the winner,
was one fourth thorough bred, 16 band
I inch high, weighed 1,050 pounds,
10 year old, and a light bay color.
H was raised in Kentucky, and at
one timo was owned by Dan Mace,
and called tbo "John horse." Hi
temper wa not of the best, and it is
said that he could not be usod for any
thing but racing purposes. This most
noted and fatal race is without par
allel for speed, power of endurance
thorough gamenesa, and is fully ex
traordinary a feat as that of trotting
twenty mile in an hour. Humane
and sensible mon will wish it to re
main without a parallel. .
