Urinorraiit' Paper*.
Browniow threatens to retire to private
life—with a cart-load of brimstone and a
chunk of lire. By all means give hiin a
chance. Judging from his experiments
in Tennessee lie is well calculated to ear
ly on a first-class hell. If Browniow and
Stevens would makes joint stock concern
of it they could beat the devil at his own
business clean out of sight.— La Crosst
( Wisconsin) Democrat.
The above is from a paper whose editor
was lately caught in forging letters pur
porting to be from Gen. Butler, who re
joiced at Abraham Lincoln's death, and
not long ago addressed a meetingof South
ern negroes at which he asserted that
"democrats" were their best friends!
Now, if this circular bad told the truth,
we might publish it—for a very large con
sideration. If it had told us that this is
simply a scheme for a set of villains to
make money, and that their diamonds,
rubies, pearls, &e., instead of being pur
chased, had been stolen from t lie .South
ern people —as any man withlnreegrains
of common sense knows thev were—then
wo might have commended its frankness,
while we condemned the rapacity of its
authors. As it has told an unmitigated
falsehood, however, we will have nothing
to do with it, as we should dislike very
much to become possessed of any of the
prizes thus baptized in the blood of the
South, and stolen from their owners by a
horde of thieves and vandals, who hung,
like a curse, on the rear of the federal ar
my, and sucked, with a vampire's eager
ness, the last drop of life from the pros
trate body of a desolated country.— Lock
Haven Democrat.
The above are comments on the scheme
devised for raising funds to secure a home
for disabled soldiers. Tlieeditor talks quite
knowingly about the diamonds being
stolen.
The Templars' Pa rade —The Good Tem
plars' parade at this place last week was
not a very imposing affair. There were
quite a number of strangers in the pro
cession, yet with all these the number in
the parade amounted to only 13d—a num
ber less than the members of this lodge.
The large majority of those present were
females, and to look at the males it had
the appearance more of a political meet
ing than a Temperance Convention, for
we do not believe there were live demo
cratic voters in the whole procession. 11
was made up almost entirely of Radicals.
All the speakers were Radicals of the
blackest dye, and no one who has any
knowledge of the hypocrisy of the Radi
cal party, of the leading spirits in this old
aud oft repeated species of fanaticism, can
for a moment be humbugged by such a
palpable deception as is here attempted to
lie practised upon the honest masses of
the people for the indirect promotion of a
set of political seallawags. No true friends
of the democratic party or of democratic
principles, be they male or female, will al
low themselves thus to be made instru
ments in the hands of their political ene
mies against their own political friends.
The political issues before the American
people are of too much import to be suf
fered to lie thus tampered with. We arc
not fool enough to be inveigled by such a
palpable imposition as this sudden tem
perance movement gotten up by Radical
politicians and by blood-and-tliunder war
clergy. The same men who got up the
war are the same men who arenow at the
head of this temperance movement, and
we to see that some of our warmest
friends have allowed themselves to be
made cats-paws to build up their enemies
at the expense of their true friends.—Se
litusgrove Times.
This is a strange attack on temperance
men, afid taken in connection with other
movements on foot among the democracy,
looks as if that party intended to make a
general onslaught on that question. We
soon expect to see t lie democratic papers
head their " victories" with the cut of a
whisky barrel, labeled " The Eagle of
Democracy."
Oavis anil towan.
The New York Day Book, the leading
organ of the Democracy in the United
States, is out in a strong article favoring
the nomination of Jcf Davis and Edgar
Cowan, as the Democratic candidates for
President ami Vice President of the Uni
ted States. The Day Book says:
Mr. Davis's imprisonment has been cru
el and infamous, but on the whole, its re
sult has been a great triumph to himself
personally. He has vindicated his posi
tion most nobly and heroically, and comes
out of his prison without a stain upon his
honor. If lie will now come out for a
restoration of the Union upon the whit*
basis we do not see how the Democratic
party could do better than to nominate
him for President in 18(58. Puton Edgar
Cowan, of Pennsylvania, for Vice Presi
dent, and we do not see why this would
not make a White Man's ticket that
would sweep the North, restore the Union,
anil at once inaugurate "the era of good
feeling." The idea of nominating Grant
and Lee has been suggested in some quar
ters, but Davis and Cowan would be infi
nitely more appropriate.
Reunion. —As the reunion of tlie Old
and New School Presbyterian Churches
seems probable, we append the official
statement of their synods, presbyteries,
members, churches and preachers, for the i
year 180(1:
O. School. K. School. Roth.
Synods, 3d 23 38
Presbyteries, 170 100 280
Ministers, 2,25)4 1,730 4,033
Churches, 2,608 1,028 4,130
Members, 230,306 130,401 389,707
This, it will be observed, is less in the
aggregate than the array of the two
Churches in 1800, before the rebellion had
severed the Southern Church. We lie-!
licve that the Southern Presbyterian
Church has still over 40,000 members,
iwhich would about bring up the general
Jtggregate to that of 1800 for the whole i
BTtepublic.
Tlie Huntingdon Monitor.
The writer inthe Huntingdon Monitor,
who storms and blusters through nearly
two columns of tergiversation to vin
dicate his preposterous assertion that Mr.
Morrell wrote a note to bargain with other
parties after he had knowledge that Mr.
Miller had been or certainly would be
confirmed as Postmaster, or that he would
bargain in such a matter for any consid
eration, may be a man in stature but must
be a baby in intellect if he is monomaniac
enough to believe what he asserted. Called
upon to disprove what we pronounced a
FORGEKV, and do yet, he is compelled to
acknowledge that he made a mistake of
three days in the date, that he can pro
duce no such note, and his honorable wit
-11 ess 1.11. II i 1 del >ra nd, it seems nei t her read
nor had the note, but saw a piece of paper
from which was read what he says he
b< /ieees it contained. Not having seen it,
how docs he know that Mr. Morrell either
wrote or signed it? Your proof, Mr.
Monitor, is worth just about sis much as
Baron Munchausen's History would be in
a Court of Justice —a copy of which book
ought by all means to be furnished to the
Monitor for the edification of its seven
d 'vils. the number usually allotted to cop
journals in the North by IDs Serene
Highness, Jef Davis.
Whether Mr. Miller hud been confirmed
when Mr. M. left Washington we do not
know, nor is it very material; but we do
know that Mr. Morrell addressed a letter
t > a citizen of this place, after his arrival
home, which we did not hear read, but
read ourselfin Mr. Morreli's handwriting,
staling that the arrangement had been
made as published last week, that it was
the best be could do, and that he had left
oft a note to that effect at Huntingdon, at
the ri ey lime the Monitor alleges he left ojf
ITS production. This shows that he had
knowledge of Mr. Miller's appointment,
either through the copperhead clique
who held the Huntingdon post office but
not the man, or else through the Senate
which cou'd confirm or reject the man
when named. He made repeated efforts
to have a republican nominated, hut even
a one-armed soldier would not answer
Johnson. Reduced to a certainty that
the Kitchen Cabinet would suffer the
President to send in no name except one
of the "elect," Mr. Miller became their
; choice. Whether the Tyrone conclave
kept the office for sale, —which we sup
pose is the "other quarter" the Monitor
alludes to —we do not know; nor do we
know whether that paper and its witness
are particularly pleased at Mr. Mill r's
appointment—perhaps neither would have
had much objection to being the man.
Politically, the offices of right belong to
the republicans, and if previous to this
other parties were endeavoring toj rocure
.i share in the post office, they were doing
no more than the copperheads of Hun
tingdon were doing themselves, not only
in time past, but in this very case, and if
we felt so disposed could give names that
night cause some squirming in the camp
followers surrounding the Monitor.
For a number of years, as is well known,
Members of Congress of the same politi
•tl faith as the administration exercised
i controlling influence in their districts
in appointments to office. This was the
ease with both parties; and consequently
when Andrew Johnson sought to manu
facture a party of his own, the bread and
butler portion of the patent democracy
endeavored to make up in flattery ml
ondyism for their bitter assaults on him
it the time heb -came President, and thus
created an anomalous state of things in
appointments to office almost unknown
m our history. Johnson had heen elected
as a Republican and his condemnation of
the rebellion went beyond what even a
large portion of that party desired; in turn,
.ie became equally bitter against tlie re
publicans, and in many instances placed
,n office and sought in council the very
aien who had most bitterly assailed him.
The Senate at first confirmed quite a num
ber of prescriptive nominations to impor
t mt offices, hut finally took the undoubt
edly correct stand that they were a part
of the appointing power, and thenceforth
began to reject these Muwworms. The
howl raised by the hungry pack of cor
morants at this righteous proceeding ex
ceeded anything we rememfier politically,
and those papers which had been a stench
t > the nostrils of all loyal soldiers, whether
lemoerats or republicans, for their advo
e u-y of treason and traitors, were foremost
in this hyena pursuit. Home of their
keepers had spent hundreds of dollars—
perhaps thousands—in buying the empty
honor of a nomination for office, and fair
ly gnashed their teeth when they found
themselves minus both money and office.
This condition of affairs led to comprom
ises of various kinds, of which the Hon.
Edgar Cowan, late Senator from this
State, could no doubt give an accurate
history, for, from appearances, whoever
bore his recommendation, needed no other
either with President Johnson, Postmaster
(jcueral Randall, Browning and many
other officials. The result was that the
offices were frequently divided, a republi
can Senate confirming a republican for
one office and a democrat, or even copper
head, for another.
In tHis congressional district, which is
noted for tricky copperhead politicians,
an attempt was made to secure every
office worth having in it, many of the
nominees being men as destitute of polit
ical principle as mountebanks could well
be. This was frustrated by Mr. Morrell,
and consequently lias aroused big dogs,
little dogs and all to bark at his heels.
They are silly enough however to com
mence their assaults by attacking his in
tegrity as a man, a position from which
the combined wealth of all the old canal
and Portage Railroad robbers in Hun
tingdon, Blair and Cambria could not
move him.
A local preacher, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, was recently shot and

by remarks made at those meetings.
Truth Well I'lll— The Right to
Reconstruct.
Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, of Ga.,
comprehends the situation of the defeated
Rebels —and the dilemma in which the
Rebellion bus placed the South. His
words of counsel are worthy of the seri
ous consideration of political leaders as
well North as South. Whatever claims
the Rebels may have upon the clemency
of the government, he utterly repudiates
the doctrine of the Copperheads of the
; North that the government has no right
to impose upon them the terms of Resto
ration to tiie Union. He says the gov
i ernment has both the power and the right.
In a speech delivered at the city of Augus
ta, Ga., on the 27th of April, he answers
tiie arguments of those who oppose the
Military Law of Congress, as follows:
None of us can claim consistency in this
matter, unless it be the man who was from
i he start a perse Union man, and one who
.stood to it. I fear none of us were very
j consistent. Gentlemen, we failed upon
. tiie issue that we made, and when wedid
i we were left in the condition where we
must expect to return to tiie Government
jof tiie United States, in good faith, or
: leave the country. At the end of the war
110 man who was not under arrest was
; obliged to remain in Georgia if he did not
; want to. If you were so much wedded to
I the doctrine of State sovereignty (and 1
j confess I was wedded to it.) and so bitter
ly opposed to the Government of the Uni
j ted States that you could not atl'ord to live
| under it, you had an easy way to get rid
|of it. All the avenues were thrown open
at the end of the war, and you could en
list under any Hag you pleased, and live
under any monarchy. Why did you re
main here, then? Some did go, and those
who have gone have most of them return
ed to their native land. After the war a
1 man had no right to remain here disloy
al, and yet claim the protection of the
Government.
It is not honorable. If we remain here
| and become citizens, it is our duty to try
; and build up this Government again, be
cause we have readopted it. We lost our
I rights by tiie war, and an appeal to the
<word, and as we did not leave the eouti
; try, we are bound to accept such terms as
i are ottered us. Suppose we now adopt the
i rule we then stood upon, and if wen re out
| of the Union, we have no lights, and they
I have the right to re-admit us upon their
| own terms. Now take that horn of the
i dilemma and how do westand? Having
failed by the sword, we become a con
quered people, and the Government had
a right, according to the laws of nations,
to dispose of us as a conquered people, by
imposing such terms upon us-as the con
queror chooses to put upon the conquer
ed. They might keep us under Military
Government for years to conic. Tin re i
where we stood out of the Union an inde
pendent State, said Georgia. Then tliex
k-oiiquered Georgia. What right has.she,
then, to claim as a right, or to appear be
fore the Supreme Court, or any other
privilege of the Union? None. We will
now take the other horn of the dilemma.
Suppose the Northern view of it was
right. Our act of secession was void. If
we were still in the Union, we were in
'rebellion, and each of us who took up
,arms was guilty of treason and liable to
be hanged. This is so if we are still in
the Union. There is no escape from it.
Not only so, but being guilty of treason,
our property would be subject to confis
cation—our personal property at least. —
Then, if this is true, what right have we
to dictate the terms upon which we are to
return to the United States? We either
did go out, and the Government had the
right to deal with us as a conquered peo
ple ; or else wedid not secede, and we were
Rebels and liable to be dealt with as Re
' be Is.
In contrast with the Northern Copper
head position on thesamesubjeet, the dec
larations of the Charlotte N.C. Democrat
are very instructive. Rend what it says:
" The Radical party at the North, in
and out of Congress, look upon certain
class of men in each Southern State as pe
culiarly loyal, and believe that they are
the proper ones to carry on the work of
reconstruction. We do not claim to he
long to this class—we cannot do so, for we
heartily sympathized with the Confeder
ate cause during the war—we make no
claim to having been a Union man—we
can only claim that since the surrender of
Gen. Lee we have favored a settlement ol
dilliculties on the best terms we could get
from the conquering power. But we have
said, and will continue to say. that it
would be better for us all if the work ol
reconstruction was left to tb>- party or
class that is considered " loyal'' by those
who control Congress."
\\ e clip this very forcible argument
from a late editorial in the Charleston iS.
C.) News:
"An idea prevails that because Con
gress passed a resolution in lHil that the
war was not then waged " for anv pur
pose of conquest," but "to preserve the
Union," therefore, when we surrendered
in lHtt") we surrendered under the protec
tion of this resolution, which had not
been altered by the events and changes of
as mighty and varying a warns the world
had ever seen. Now, there is not an ex
ample in history in which two parties at
war have kept open a standing set of
terms upon which the war is to bcended.
'* * * When we surrendered our ar
mies and closed the contest, the final
terms were dictated by Grant and Sher
man, and every sensible man knows that
(/use arc the only condition* to which irt
have the right to appeal. What is the
use of trying to delude ourselves into the
\ belief that thecourseof a great war, "shat
tering that it may reach and shattering
what it reaches," can be governed and
limited by the law of special contract?"
The Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle is
not so thoroughly reconstructed as to be
radical in its views, but it is able and sen
sible. It has no idea of the South joining
the Northern Copperheads in order to ob
tain power, for the sufficient reason that
j the latter would lie sure to cheat them. —
To use the language of the Chronicle,
j " the Northern Democracy not only killed
j them the Southerners) during the war,
and bragged that they furnished all the
I Union soldiers, but they deceived them at
!the Philadelphia Convention. '' The
| Chronicle thus puts its testimony on the
record in the following terse and truthful
language:
"We apprehend the most serious conse
quences if the South hoists the Democrat
ic Hag. The Northern Democracy are ex
tremely violent in their language, and
j talk pretty much as the South talked be
| fore the war. They can afford to do it,
because they know it is only talk, and
' that they are in no danger. But suppose
! the South gets on their platform, and Hies
j their banners, we shall rece've the wrath
|of the North —on the head of the South
will their vengeance be wreaked. The
I great majority of the Northern people re
gard the continuance of the Democratic
party as a continuance of the rebellion;
and they will certainly regard the reoe
cupation of the South by that party as
tHe manifestation of a rebellious spirit on ,
tiie part of the .South."

A ) bung Man of Seventeen Guilty of

speaking of his arrest, says: "The prem

in a short time he was discovered emerg
ing from an open field, endeavoring to
reach the woods, some distance off". He
was hotly chased, and was captured after
having been struck by a pistol ball from
one of the pursuing party, which made
aslight flesh wound in bis face and brought
him to the ground. He was carried to
Noxubee county, the scene of his last
crime. It seems that young Fitzgerald

NOTICE.
The beautiful Piano Fortes of GROVESTEEX A Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thulc of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make A tnti
• sieal instrument more perleeL although we are slow
■ to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they hail submitted them to compe
tition w ith instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but just ice to SAY trial the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." novli-LV
