Kr In another column we publish
an article from the Now York Jour

indicates the objects and motives of
the opposition in their clamor for ne
gro voters, and, in general, the state
of parties in the future. We have
seen the same ideas put forward of
late in other Republican papers, and
particularly in the Philadelphia
Daily News of last week. There is
a great deal of encouragement .for
the Democracy in these articles.

PITTSBURG, June 23.—The venera
ble William Wilkins died this morn

Station, at the ripe age of eighty-six
years. Mr. Wilkins has filled many
important positions. Ile was a Sen
ator in Congress from 1831 to 1834,
Minister to Russia in 1834, Secretary
of War while John C. Calhoun was
Secretary of State, and was on board
the Princeton when the "Peace
maker" exploded and Secretary Up
shiur was killed. Mr. Wilkins also
filled the office of Judge of the United
States District Court for Western
Pennsylvania.
sm.. There are some mean people
in this world, in high places as well
as in low. The Republican newspa
per press has made a great ado for
the last week or ten days, about evi
dence given before the star-chamber
military commission sitting in Wash•
ington, in regard to a $25,000 check
received from Canada, last fall, by
the Hon. Benjamin Wood, of New
York. They have twisted it and
turned it so as to make it appear that
Mr. Wood received the money from
the rebel agents in Canada, and that
it was used for electioneering pur
poses by the Democrats. Although
the fact of the money having been re
ceived was known at the commence
ment of the trial, no attempt to
bring it officially before the commis
sion was made, (unless it was in secret
session,) until the very last day,
when the scandal was given in evi
dence, and the reception of testimo
my immediately closed thereafter,
thus debarring reply or explanation.
Mr. Wood immediately telegraphed
to Stanton that if he wax wanted he
would immediately proceed to Wash-
IFlorada
ington. But no reply from Stanton.
He then telegraphed to Hunter, the
President of the commission, who
was also kind enough not to .reply,
such is the eharaqer of the men now
sitting and deciding on the life or
death of their fellow men at Wash
ington. The money that Mr. Wood
received was merely a business trans
action with Candada, such as takes
place every day between wealthy
and enterprising men, and had noth
ing at all to do with politics or the
rebellion, and Stanton, Hunter and
their clique knew it, but the chance
was too good to injure a political op
ponent not to take advantage of it.—
They did, and meanly enough too.
A party that requires such bolster
ing and trickstering to keep it up
should speedily go to the bow-vows,
as it is going just now.
Kr A few days ago an English..
man went to Paris to take out a pat

nibus and eat by the side of an (di
gantly dressed lady, with a very
charming face. Soon the English
man saw an expression of distress
and dismay come over that face, and
felt a tugging at his pocket. With a
cruel smile he looked at the fair crea
ture, who, crimson with shame, im
plored him to let her go. With true
gallantry he released her hand, and
she thereupon stopped the omnibus,
leaped out and ran down the street
with most unfeminine speed. The

A GRAND JURY INSTRUCTED AS TO I

there, thus charged the Grand

guilty ;" and to state that it has come
to my knowledge that • here, where
the United States Court presided over
by Chief Justice Chase, has always
been unimpeded, and where the Mar
shal of the United States, appointed
by the President, selects the jurors,
irresponsible and unlawfill military
commissions attempt to criminal ju
risdiction over citizens of this State,
not in the military or naval service of
the United States nor in the militia,
who are charged with offences not
known to the law, o; with crime for
which the ririode of trial and punish
ments are provided by statue in the
courts of the land.
That this is not done by the para
mount authority of the United States,
your attention is directed to article
V. of the Constitution of the United
States, which says : "No persons
shall be held to answer for a capital
or otherwise infamous crime unless
on a presentment or indictment of a
Grand Jury except in cases arising
in the land or naval forces or in the
militia when in actual service in time
of war or public danger.
Such persons exercising such un
lawful jurisdiction are liable to indict
ment ,by you, as wet! as responsible
in civil actions to the parties injured.
Judge Bond has put the case most
admirably, and there is no man of
candor - and sense who will not admit
the correctness of his positions. The
manner in which he proposes to ap-
ply the remedy is the pt-oper one.—
Let some of these officials be regular
ly indicted and put upon trial for
a violation of the law and we shall
see whether the Supreme Court of
the United States has any decency
or dignity left. If it has, it cannot
help but sustain the State Courts in
their efforts to save the fundamental
law of the land from further open
and shameless violation..

DECLARATION
oY THE
INDEPENDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES,
JULY 4, 1776
When, in the course of human events, it be
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume, among the powers of the
earth, the separate and equal station to which
the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of man
kind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal; that they are'endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;
that among these, are life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness. That, to secure these rights,
governments ate instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the govern
ed; that, whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it, and to insti
tute
a new government, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing its powers in
snob form, as to them shall 648111 most likely to
effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, in
deed, will dictate that governments long estab
lished, should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly, allexperience
bath shown, that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves,by abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But, when a long train of
abuses and - usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same object, evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is
their duty, to throve off such government, and to
provide new guards for their future security.—
colonies, and such is now thefferance
necessity
f which
constrains them to alter their former system:es of
government. The history of the present Bing
of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over.these
States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to
a candid world:
has . refused his assent to litws the most
He has' forbidden - his Governors to pass laws
of immediate and pressing importance, unless
suspended in their operation till his assent should
be obtained ; and when so suspended, he has ut
terly neglected to attend to them.
lie has refused to pass other laws for the ac
commodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right f repre
sentation in the Legislature; a right inestimable
to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
Hehme called together legislative bodies at pla
ces unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from
the depository of their public records, for the
sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
with his measures. •
He has dissolved representative houses re
peatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his
invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dis
solutions, to canes r thers to be elected; whereby
the legislative towers, incapable of annihilation
have returned to the people at large for their ex
ercise • the State remaining, in the mean time,
exposed to all the danger of invasion from with
out, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population•
of these States; for that purpose, obstructing
the laws for naturalisation of foreigners; refus
ing to pass others to encourage their migration
hither, and raising the conditions of new appro.
priation of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of jus
tice,
by refusing his assent to laws for establish
ing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will
alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their salaries.
He bee erected a multitude of new offices, and
sent hither swarms of officers to harass our peo
ple and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace,
standing armies without the consent of our Leg
islature.
He baa affected to render the military inde
pendent of, and superior to, the civil power.
Ile has combined, with others, to subject us to
a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent
to their acts of pretended legislation ;
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us :
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from
punishment, for any murders which they should
commit on the inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the
world :
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us, in many MSS, of the bane
for pretended offences :
For abolishing the free system of English
laws in a neighboring provinces, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and" enlarging
its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ex
ample and fit instrument for introducing the
same absolute-rule into these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally,
the powers of our governments :
For suspending our own Legislatures, and de
claring themselves invested with power to legis
late for us in all eases whatsoever.
He baa abdicated government bore, by declar
ing us out of his protection, and waging war
against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our
people.
He is, at this time transporting large armies
of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of
death, desolation; and tyranny, already begun,
with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarce
ly paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the bead of a civilised nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become the executioners of
their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves
by their bands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst
us, and has endeavored to bring an the, inhabi
tants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian , sav
ages, whose known rule of warfare is en undis
tinguished destruction, of all ages, sexes and
conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have
petitioned for redress, in the most humbe terms;
our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince, whose character
is thus marked by every act which may define a
tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our
British brethren. We have warned them, from
time to time, of attempts made by their Legisla
ture to extend ac unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded them of the circum
stances of out emigration and settlement here.—
We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we base conjured them, by
the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
ur connections and correspondence. They, too
have been deaf to the voice of justice and con
sanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce,
In the necessity, which denounces our separation

We, therefore, the representatives of -the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in GENERAL CON
GRESS assembled, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the World for the rectitude of our in
tentions, do, in the DUDS, and by the authority
of the good people of these colonies, solemnly
publish and declare, That these United Colonies
are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDE
PENDENT STATES • that they are absolved from
all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the State
of Great Britain, is and ought to be, totally dis
solved; and that, as FREE AND INDEPENDENT
STATES, they have full power to levy war, con
clude peace, contract stilettoes, establish com
merce, and to do all other acts and things which
INDEPENDENT STATES , may of right do. And, for
the support of this declaration, with a firm ro•
liance on the protection of DIVINE PROVIDENCE,
we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor.

PARTY INFLUENCES IN THE FUTURE
We observe that a great many su

as it has not proved true hitherto, so
it is natural to question whether it is
true now, and it may be asserted that
the Democratic party is very far from
being dead, and, whether for good or
evil, is likely to survive for a long
time to come. It is marvellous that
men who pretend._ to deal in politics,
and to teach it to their readers, should
be found asserting such a simply non
sensical idea as this. It does no good,
but rather does harm, by misleading
the reader and concealing the truth.

portance of knowing andestiMating
the truth in regard to the Denlocrat
ie party. During the past lout years
the opposition to that party bes been
conducted on the principle Oita the
Democrats were in sympatyy with
the rebels at the South: Now if this

But is not this idea rather dubious ?
What is likely to be the influence
over negroes voting? Who that re
members old times in New York, can
forget that negriies are very apt to
vote with their masters. Men who
imagine that there is to be a negro
paradise at the South, where the ne
gro will be an independent voter, act
ing on high moral principle, unsway
ed by sordid and worldly influences,
are very foolish men. If the issues
in the future wore to be the old is

might be an array of negroes on the

the negroes at.tbe South, if allowed
to vote, will be nd purer and no more

chances are ten to one that the ne

in the South, will vote the Democrat

the Democratic party exists, its or
ganization remains the same, its old
machinery is strong and active, its
wily operators are• wide awake, its
spoil-seekers are as'Vi Heinously shrewd
as ever, its honest.men are as firm in
their adherence to old doctrines and
principles as they were in the days
of Andrew
Jackson, and in short the,
party is a great element in the future
of the country.
How much depends on its' course

suggestion. We heard a converse.

THE GOLD OF THE RICHMOND BANKS.
PARTICULARS OF THE GREAT ROBBERY-
$200,000 STOLEN
[From the Augusta (Ga.) Transcript,'
A few days since two of the officers
of the Richmond banks, whose assets
were removed from that, city upon
the evacuation in April, - reached
Washington, in this State. They
were empowered by the authorities
to remove their effects, consisting of
$326,000 specie, to the capital of Vir
ginia.. Procuring teams and a guard
of twelve men these gentlemen set
out upon their return home, intend
ing to take the railroad iat Cheater,
At We - ends ofilie first day's jour-
ney they, encamped on the grounds
of Mrs._lllorse, eighteen miles from
Washington, and three from the Sa
vannah river. The officers retired
.and the guard fell asleep. About
midnight, a party of twenty mounted
men, who were evidently aware of
the value of the train, suddenly.dash
ed upon it; and the guards surrended
without firing a gun or making the
slightest show of resistance. The
freebooters immediately went to
work bursting open the specie- kegs
and helping themselves to the glitter
ing contents. One fellow it is related
had a large leathern haversack,
which he filled, but just as he was
mounting his horse, the straps gave
way, and the precious metal fell
clinking to the ground. He eagerly .
scraped up the gold and sand, leaving
a number of pieces, and placing the
coin, in a, .bag, rode off.. The ~ next
morning a negro teamster found five
dollar pieces scattered in profusion
_all about the ground.
Some - two hundred thousand dol.
lars were , stelen, leaving about one
hundred and twenty thousand. • With
this amount the bank officers journey.
ed on, sadder, but wiser men. Upon'
reaching Abbeyville, South Carolina,
they offered a reward of twenty
thousand dollars for the recovery of
the property. The robbers are sup
posed to be paroled soldiers, who fol
lowed the train from Washington.—
It is singular that, in the present de

RECONSTRUCTION.,—PreSideII tJohn
son shows excellent wisdom in ap.
pointing loyal Southern men to offi
cial positions in the South. Those
Northern citizens who think the safe
ty of the country depends on their
getting such pieces and enriching
themselves by speculation in cotton
and tobacco are naturally much
aggrieved, and will he among the
loudest howlers of the new radica
opposition. But the country is sat
isfied. Everybody aces that nothing
could tend more to perpetuate the
alienation of the Southern people
than to send a lot of greedy North
erners to rule over and plunder them.
The disappointment and vexation of
such men is the chief secret of thc;
present hullabaloo against the Presi
