their platibrtn'endorse negro suffrage
in the South, and dodge the question

V. rJ. GRANT.
Waahinirton, D. June 1, 1804.
We want our renders to give both
an attentive perusal, and contrast the
statesmanship of the candidates as
expressed therein. Gen. Grant is
without doubt the most incompetent
man that ever accepted a nomination
for President, and can never be quali
fied to discharge the duties of that
office, with all the training Stevens,
Washburne 4 Co. can give him. Mr.
Seymour tolls the people what be
designs doing, while Gen. Grant con
ceals everything from his constituents
in regular military style.

The Democracy propose to pay off
the debt contracted beJore the general
suspension of specie payments by act
ol Congress is coin, together with all
that part of the war debt wfcieh, by
the acta creating it, or the bonds evi
dencing it, is made payable in coin;
and all the residue ol the debt created
after the suspension of specie pay men ts
which was notice to the purchaser,
and notice to the world as to the law
governing its creation and controlling
its payment they propose to pay in
local-tender 1 reasury notes.
The policy of the Democracy is to
pay off the Federal debt ; and that
the taxesot 1im, with the circnla'ing
medium of 1806, were as easily paid
as the taxes of 108 will bo paid with
the amount of circulating medium of
18C8 ; and that with the taxes of 1S06
continued for eight years, with the is
sue of leiral tender notes as proposed. ;
every dollar of the Federal debt could
be paid, and paid with much less pres
sure on the people and general busi
ness of tho jountry than the Interest
alone can bepaid according to the
policy proponwd by our opponents.
The difference between our policy
and that of our opponents is simple,
clear, and fundamental. Our oppo
nents propose that the American peo
ple shall pay, in interest alone, in ev
ery sixteen years an amount sufficient
to pay every dollar of tho debt with
out really paying one cent of it.
All tho pretensions of the Radicals
in Congress and out of it are but shams'
and humbugs, and as illusory as those
of Mr. Pitt after the peace of Amiens.
They postpone the payment of the
national debt until the next century,
and in the meantime tax the people,
and make them pny, every sixteen
years, as much in interest as will pay
the whole of the debt, besides entail
ing upon them forever a horde of tax
collectors, spies and plunderers, when,
with great ease, tho Democratic poli
cy, if carried out, will pay off the
whole debt in eight years, and put an
end to Federal taxea, except duties on
imports, which yon pay when yon
purchase and pay for an imported ar
ticle But our opponent never want this
debt paid. On the contrary, they de
sire it to be continued forever, as the
great engine of the plutocracy, to con
trol and command the labor of tho
country. The great governing Kw
er, that shall enslavo through neccs
ty and grind to death without mercy,
perpetuate wealth to the wealthy and
poverty to the poor.
Lotal Newspapers. Tho carpct
bacgers down South have a cute way
of keeping up their newspapers. The
I liiladeliilua Jjcsayi: "Alone means
of carrying the State of Louisiana,
the Radical Lcgmlaure ha author
ized certain parties to establish a
paper in each parish in the State, to
have all the legal advertising of the
parish, and publish therein not only
all the laws of the State, at a dollar a
square, but all the useless journals of
ine two houses, which are hardly
worth publishing at all, and which, it
was seriously proposed in 100, to
give op publishing in the official jonr
nal of the &ate. This is on a par with
the manner in which the funds of tho
Federal government are squandered
in the South by publishing all adver
liscmcnla in "truly loyal" journals,
although a majority of them do not
circulate five hundred copies. But
these editors and conductors are
agenta, spies and tools of the Radical
parry; thev manipulate the negro
vote, and play second fiddle to the
Bureau managers, and this is the
manner in which ther are paid. In

A horrible outrage was perpetrated
at the toll-gate house between Royal
Oak and Birmingham on the Pontine
road, on Sundav night. The house
was occupied by a family named Pul-
len. The Only mule member ol the
household, Wm. Pullen, went away
from homo a short time since, leaving
his mother, an aged lady, and his wilo
and sister at home. About S o'clock
on Sunday evening two cinnamon
colored negroes called at tho house
and asked for a drink, which Misa Lo
rinda Pullen procured tor them. They
w ithdrew reluctantly and as they went
soomod to examine tho door and ob
serve the windowd very closely. At
ha f-nnit ten tue lamny wa butrueu
by a heavy rap on tho door, and one
of tho womon on looking out Ot the
window recognized tho two negroes
who bad ieon thoro for wntor in the
early part of the evening. ' They were
very much alarmed, and tho old lad)'
and Mrs. Wm. Pullen went up stairs
for safety. Misa Lorinda tried to in
duce them toremninund defond them
selves with an axe and a batAiet, the
only weapons of defence in tho bouse.
Tho negroes were at this time trying
to effect an entrance at ono oi ine
windows, and Misa Pullon propoded
that her sioter-in-law and liersoll sta
tion themsolvos on either aide of the
window and as the nogoes entered
deal them blows with the axe and
hatchet, but before she could overcome
the fears of ber timid comrade the
scoundrels effected an entrance to tho
room, and seizing hold of Miss Pullen
demandod all the money in the house.
Sbo told them she hadn't much, and
betrgred them to spare lifo. She went
to the drawer where the gate money
was kept and rave them the contents,
about sixteen dollars. They were not
satisfied with this ; they must have
more money, they said, or they would
kill all in the bouse. Misa Pullen
then produced two five dollar notee,
which she also gave them, and they
went up stairs and seizing 31 rs. v in
Pullen. subjected iior to the most
wanton outrage. She finally escaped
from their grasp and succeeded in
trotting out of the house. She ran
with all her speed to the nearest neigh
bor, whom she aroused and with sev
eral others returned to the toll house.
The negroes became alarmed after she
cot out or tho house and ned.
We cannot learn that any efficient
steps for their capture have been La
ken, in fact but little was known re
garding the affair by our police au
thorities till last evening, when some
one from tho neighborhood .reported
the affair to an officer. It soems
strange that the officers, if there are
any in that vicinity, should let two
days pass without some active efforts
at securing the perpetrators of so
groes an outrage. Detroit tree tress

A circular from the office of the In
dustrial League of Pennsylvania at
Johnstown, Pa., has been forwarded
to this office, with the request that
we will "urge upon Congress tho pas
sage of the short tariff bill reported
by the Com mi t tee of Ways an d Means."
It further informs us that from the
reports and correspondence in pos
session of the league, "but one halj of
the manufacturing capacity of the Utate
is now emvloyrd.and there is consequent
suffering and loss in all the walks of
industry: I rocisely so. And who,
pray, is responsible for this suffering
and loss? Let the Industrial League
answer. Have we not again and again
charged the Radical majority in Con
gross with having triflod with the in
terestaof the people ? What does that
majority care lor the white working
men of Pennsylvania ? They can log'
islate for the worthless negrooa of
the South appropriate millions of
dollars to keep them in idleness while
tho white workingmen of the North
are suffering at every point. Our
friends of tho Industrial League ought
to know by this time that Democratic
appeals to Congress in behalf of the
interest or white men are or no ac
count. Their efficacy has been tested
again. It amounts to nothing what
ever. If we were to advocate tho
claims of the negro; encourage the
operations of tho rrecdmcn's Bureau,
and sanction tho maintenance or an
immense standing army in the South
perhaps they would listen to us, but
anything wo could say in bchnlf ol
the white workingmen or I ennsylva
nia would be time and argumcnU
wasted.
If the Industrial Lcaguo would have
the vhole of the "manufacturing capa
city of the State" employed let its
me miters turn inand support the Dem
ocratic nominees. If the white work
ingmen of the State desire a restora
lion or the prosperity of ten years
ago, let them do likewise. The cir
cular before us is a broad, open con
fession that Radical legislation has
prostrated the industrial interests of
ihn State of Pennsylvania, and that
it bas entailed suffering and loss upon
all classes ol the community, and
more especially upon the white work
ingmen. Let this fact not be forgot
ten by those who afe most interested
the laboring classes. 'Ada. Herald.
