Temperance and Politics.
The self-styled democratic papers are,
almost without exception, continually
charging the Republican party with in
troducing temperance into polities, just as
during the war of rebellion they charged
L T niou men with Introducing religion into
war. In their eyes it was all right for a
wolf-minister in sheep's clothing to advo
cate and justify treason, secession, and
rebellion, but when patriotic Union min
isters denounced those crimes and justi
fied the strong arm of government in
putting them down, every copperhead
hypocrite turned up the whites of his eyes
and yelled out "polities." It is so now
with temperance. The last reviled Leg
islature put upon our statute books a better
law for the regulation of the sale of liquor
than had ever been passed in this State,
one which, even if partially enforced,
would do much towards rest raini ngdrun k
enness, but "democracy" is not satisfied
with it, and is already calling upon its
cohorts to put it down. To effect this,
they ask every tavernkeeper, every drunk
ard, every drinking mop .-y ' ltJil fer
Yv un'thai party, and thus restore
the grog shops to full sway. That what
we assert is correct, we need but quote a
single sentence from a paper of that stamp.
The Democrat, published at Indiana in
this State, of July 4, after reviling the
i-ourt for not granting licenses which the
law prohibits, says:
"To rebuke this species of Jesuitism,
we call upon the people of the county,
without respect to party, to turn out at
the polls this fall and vote down the spe
cial anti-license law, which is now at
tempted to be forced upon the people."
Now if this is not an attempt to intro
duce temperance into politics, and make
democracy the whisky party language no
longer lias any meaning; it may do with
a certain class, just as the cry of "nigger"
does with another, but how sensible tem
perance democrats who desire to lessen
instead of increasing the evil will receive
such counsel, remains to be seen.
We advocate temperance because we
consider intemperance a great evil, and
especially because too many men have
neither the strength nor resolution to re
sist temptation, and because too many li
quor sellers, who are or were liquor sellers
only, and not tavern keepers, wilfully and
kuowinglysold liquor to such men in plain
violation oflaw. If we understand the Good
Templars, we believe their desire is to
keep out of politics, and to do so ask of
both parties to nominate men for office
who are at least free from the stain of
rank intemperance. If democracy how
ever will follow the lead of its organs and
nominate men who will vote fortherepeal
of all good laws regulating the sale of
liquor, it is democracy, and not Good
Templars, nor those that wish them well,
who are introducing temperance into pol
itics.
Southern Destitution.
W. Gihnore Simms, of South Carolina,
an author of some note, but who slurred
his fair fame with treason, lately acknowl
edged a donation from the North, and as
is usual wound up with with the follow
ing silly trash :
" The South, unless the government
shall rise to that highest wisdom in gov
ernment, which is magnanimity, is des
tined to le the incubus of the Union."
The magnanimity here referred to is the
restoration of fill the rebels to their civil
and jxditical rights which they forfeited
by rebellion. It is passing strange for
sane men to hold the idea that such a
restoration would either till the soil or
raise crops, but Mr. Simms, like his north
ern copperhead allies, seems to think that
if the rebel element could only vote, hold
office, and have a hand of bowie-knife
bullies in Congress, corn, wheat, iotatoes,
eotton, tobacco, <fcc. would grow sponta
neously. Republicans think differently
here. They imagine that if southern
men and women would havegone to work,
instead of blustering, they might by this
time not only have had enough to eat but
something to sell. Mr. Simms evidently
has not read /Csop's fable of the wagoner
whoso wheels stuck in the mud-hole, and
who while calling on Jupiter to help him,
failed to put his own shoulder to the
wheel.
Congressmen Pomerov and Jud<i t
were arrested and fined in Washington
on the Fourth, for "shooting" fire-crack-,

i
Death of Maximillian.
The late emperor of Mexico, Maximil
lian of Austria, who during our troubles
was installed through French interven-
I tiou, was shot on the morning of the 10th
| June, after having been tried and con
demned by a Mexican court-martial. The
event has naturally produced a profound
sensation, and all Europe, where nobility
is regarded as a sort of demi-god, stands
aghast at the news. The act however in
some respects is defensible, for as he came
as an usurper and denounced native Mex
icans as traitors to him whom he would
and did kill when taken, the same meas
ure was meted out by those he so de
nounced. It is barely possible that Eu
ropean monarehs may combine to revenge
the act; and if so, we should not be sur
prised if the Uuited States becomes a par
ty to such a war, for however much we
might dissent from the execution of Max
imillian, it is full time we give force to
our rejieatcd declarations that European
interference in the affairs of American re
publics will not be tolerated. Mexico
needs but the strong arm of tiie United
States to be thrown around it for protec
tion to become one of the greatest coun
tries in the world.
Our Candidate lor Supreme
Judge.
Hon. Henry \Y. Williams, the Repub
lican nominee for Judge of the Supreme
Court of this State is sjsiken of in the
highest terms by the western papers. The
Pittsburgh Commercial says that the
nomination will be " hailed everywhere
as an eminently judicious selection, back
ed as it is by elevation of character, solid
acquirements, freshness of intellect and
tried capacity. We think we may say
without fear of contra fiction, the decis
ions of no Judge on the Bench have been
so uniformly sustained us those made by
Judge Williams, our candidate. They
have come to !>e quoted in and out of the
State as good law, and it is doubtful
whether it could have been possible to
bring forward another name more accept
able to the bar. In placing such a man
as Judge Williams in nomination the Re
publican party has honored itself; and we
are entirely confident that hundreds and
thousands there are in the State, who,
though not usually voting with us, will
esteem it a privilege to contribute to his
elevation to the Supreme Bench."
The Pittsburgh Post (Democrat,) has
also a good word for our candidate. It
says: "The nomination of the Hon.
Henry W. Williams as a candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, is a good
one. He was the best man named among
the candidates before tiie Republican Con
vention, and possesses legal and moral
qualifications for tiie responsible position
to which he has been nominated."
Meeting o!" Congress.
Congress met oii_tJ.ig- jTily, wFtfi'a
jli' iftim iii'each house. It was determined
to confine the business to reconstruction,
for which purpose committees were ap
pointed. A bill was probably reported
yesterday, defining the law it is to be
hoped so that a pliant Attorney-General
nor self-willed President can fail to un
derstand and carry it out, or if he does to
take that step which will end in his im
peachment, as it may truly l>e said the
only enemies the Southern people now
have, are the northern copperheads and
the administration at Washington.

The Republican Platform.
Adopted at the XVUliamsport Convention.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania ap
pealing again to the people, take pleasure
in recalling the repeated occasions on
which the voters of the Commonwealth
have sustained and ratified their candi
dates and principles, and strongly im
pressed with tne importance of theissues
in vol veil in the ensuing election, make
this declaration of their opinions aud pur
poses :
First. That, in the name of the nation
saved from treason, we demand security
against its repetition, by exacting from
the vanquished such guarantees as will
make treason so odious as to be forever
impossible.
Second. That, as in the past we cordial
ly justified the administration of Abra
ham Lincoln in all necessary acts for the
suppressing of the rebellion,* we record it
as our judgment that the administration
of Andrew Johnson lias Iteen chiefly
faithless, in that it has failed to try to
gather up and fix in the organic and
statue law the great principles which the
war has settled, and without whose adop
tion as a rule of action, peace is but a de
lusion and a snare.
Third. That, iu the completion of the
task of reconstruction, so firmly as to he
l*erpetunl, it is indi.-pciisible that traitors
beaten in the field shall not find a sanc
tuary in the courts; that the law shall not
be tortured to justify or palliate the crimes
of which the country's enemies have been
guilty, and that the law of the war shall
be so distinctly declared by the courts
that no disturbing and paralyzing doubts
may ever be raised, as in Is'il, affecting
the essential rights of the Government or
personal duties of the citizen.
Fourth. That thisconventiou,speaking
for the Republicans of Pennsylvania, un
reservedly endorses the reconstruction
measures of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth
Congresses as based upon sound princi
ples, essentially just and wise, and prom
ising an early legal and permanent resto
ration of the rebel States to their share in
t lie government of the Union; that we
denounce and condemn the eflorts of
President Johnson, through liis pliant
Attorney General and a majority of his
Cabinet, to evade these laws by interfer
ing to obstruct and prevent their enforce
ment iu the spirit in which they were
enacted, and that we call upou Congress,
soon to meet, promptly and decisively to
dispose of this new nullification.
Fifth. That the thanks of the loyal
men of this Commonwealth are hereby
tendered to Major General Sheridan and
Major General Sickles for their puhliely
deeiared unwillingness to be made instru
mental, in the startling and truthful
words of the former, "in opening, under
Presidential dictation, a broad, macada
mized way for perjury and fraud to trawl
on," to tiie coveted repossession of politi
cal J lower in the rebel States; and that
this convention confidently expects that
General Grant will vindicate bis past re
cord by cordially sustaining them in their
patriotic efforts to execute the law.
Sirth. Flint President Johnson further
merits our condemnation for ids reckless
pardon, and attempted restoration to po
litical rights, of many of the chief con
spirators against the Union; and that
especially his persistent eflorts to compel
the release of Jefferson Davis without
question for his crimes, are a reproach to
the administration of justicpand gn inodt
to the hole iuytu "people of the nation.
Seventh. That warned by past misfor
tunes, we ask that the Supreme Court of
the State be placed in harmony with the
political opinions of the majority of the
people, to the end that the court may
never again, by unjust decisions, seek to
set aside laws vital to the nation, nor im
peril the safety of the public securities,
nor impair the operation of the bounty,
pension and tax laws, which were required
for the public defence; nor in any way
thwart measures which were essential to
the public protection; but that, on the
other hand, it may become and remain a
Fit and faithful interpreter of tiie liberal
spirit of the age, a bulwark of public faith,
and an impartial and fearless exponent of
the equal rights of man.
Eighth. That protection being a cardi
nal feature of the Republican creed, we
trust that such legislation will be secured,
at the earliest practicable period, as will
afford adequate protection to American
industry.
Ninth. That, in conformity with the
pledges given last fall by both candidates
for Governor, we now demand the enact
ment of a free railroad law, bv which the
enterprise of our people may be stimulated
and the resources of the Commonwealth
developed.
Tenth. That iu Gov. John \V. Geary
we recognize an honest and courageous
public servant, who, in the chair of State,
is adding freshness to laurels gallantly
won in war.
Eleventh. That the gratitude of the
! people to the soldiers and sailors, whose
lira very met and overthrew the slave
holders' rebellion, should have repeated
and emphatic expression; and that we
heartily disapprove of and condemn the
course of the Secretary of the Treasury
in po-t j loiiing and ignoring the just claim's
ot our brave defenders upon the bounty
of the Government, awarded to them by
the National Congress.
Twelfth. That in the Hn. Henry W.
\Y iliiams, of Allegheny county, we pre
-cnt to the people of Pennsylvania an
eminent jurist, one in every way well
qualified for the responsible duties of the
office of Judge of theSupremeCourt: able
as a lawyer; impartial, prompt, and thor
ough as a judge; honest, upright, without
suspicion as a man, and loyal and unwa
vering in his devotion to the cause of his
country.

Letter from (irn. Jeflf. Thomp
son.
LOUISVILLE, June 16,1867.
George D. Prentice, Esq.:
MY DEAR FRIEND :—You desire me to
write you my feelings and opinions un
der the existing political condition of the
country. Your friendship to me in the
dark days of the last war, while we were
jsilitieal enemies, gives vou the right to
command niv services in any way that I
can return your kindness, and therefore!
will comply with your request, and iu as
few words as possible express my senti
ments. I might cover the whole ground
when I say that I heartily concur in the
sentiments of General James Lougstreet,
but General Lougstreet was a profession
al soldier, who fought like a hero, aud
surrendered like a brave knight who was
unhorsed, and he may not go far enough
in his language to place himself right be
fore the world; therefore I, who was a
civilian before the war, and only buckled
on my sabre to contend for certain ' rights'
(as was the case with the armies on either
side, i I can go further than General Long
street, for 1 have resumed my social status
and have not changed my occupation.
I tell you, then, plainly, that I never
fought the United States because I hated
the United States. I never fought the
North because I bated the North. 1 did
not desire to be one iota freer than I was
under the llag of the Union; but there
were abstract political principles of States
l ights, and four thousand millions of dol
lars' worth of African slaves that I tho't
could only be saved out of the Union. —
From the first hostile gun fired by John
Brown at Harper's Ferry until the oth
day of June, lStsi, when I surrendered my
troops, I was a fair, square, and consistent
enemy of abolitionism and those who
fought their battles; but when desolation
came, and starvation and ruin stared our
women and children in the face, I follow
ed the example of my noble leaders —sur-
rendered all political rights and became
one of a conquered but still proud people.
Our war had been "no boys play." Our
surrender was no farce. No politician
had aught to do with the finale, and our
proudest and noblest simply received a pa
role saying, " he shall not be interfered
with by the United States authorities, as
long as he observes this parole, and the
laws in force where he may reside." This
then, was our actual condition on July Ist,
ISGS. Iu a short time a million of soldiers
-tacked theirguns and resumed the peace
ful pursuits of life. And iu two short
years we have taken giant strides in the
march of improvement and reconstruc
tion. We have not been asked to love the
dominant party, nor to kiss the rod that
smote us; but the victors have the right
to say, "shall we make tiie brave men
our friends through courtesy, or shall we
make the cowards friends through fear?"
And they, only, have the right to make
the laws, which we have simply the right
to obey or leave the country, or remain
aliens in our land.
The proper policy for the victors to pur
sue is not my province to discuss, neither
have I a right to complain, nor will I
pre-uine to advise. I can simply set my
soldiers an example of patience, industry
and enterprise, to build up our broken
fortunes and make the land bloom again
in peace, confidence and plenty; there
fore 1 will accept all courtesies and favors
that the law may grant me, and not let
my individual likes or dislikes interfere
with niy duty to my country in which
my children at least have an interest. I
can now but repeat what I had occasion
to write once before: " Apologies for the
past or promises for the future would isi
dicate a want of confidence in my own
integrity. I have simply done what 1
conceived to be my duty, and I propose
to do it now." The Confederate Govern
ment wiped out States Rights the first
year of its existence—a bloody war wiped
out slavery, and wiped out the Confeder
acy, so they areobsolete ideas. " Will you
accept citizenship under ourterms as con
tained in this law?" and I emphatically
answer Yes ! Let each and every white
man in the South say, " Abstract Ideas or
obsolete theories shall not govern me, for
I shall look facts in the face as they exist,
and make the best out of the future, with
out moping over the past. It is not to be
presumed that I shall be asked to com
promise my honor, or be false to my
friends, for I am compelled to obey the
laws, and being an elector simply gives
me an opportunity to make the laws more
favorable"—then will confidence he re
stored. aud plenty abound once more.
Yours most respectfully,
M. JEFF. THOMPSON.

LETTER NO. VI.
Crossing the Alps—.-1 lioman Padre—A
Sabbath in Turin—Genoa—lts Streets,
Buildings, Trade, etc.
GENOA, June, 3, 1867.
We left Paris on the evening of the last
day of May, travelling by rail to St. Jean,
a small town on the French frontier, im
mediately at the foot of the Alps. Here
we took what is called a "diligence,"
(somethingof across between an omni
bus and a stage-coach,) in which we cross
ed these famous mountains. A railroad
is now in progress of construction, and a
tunnel being bored, so as to increase the
facilities of travel and avoid the tedious
journey in coaches. The road we travers
ed was an old military road, built by the
first Napoleon. We saw several forts,
also, along the route, which were con
structed by him during his wars'. We
found the tops of the mountains covered
with snow. The ascent was so steep that
we required a team of twelve horses and
mules to draw us up. The descent on the
other side being equally steep, it would
not have required any motive power to
take us down, but a span of the team was
reserved to act as brakes, and to keep the
machine on the road. The velocity with
which we descended was anything but
quieting to the nervous members of the
party. We had in our coach a number of
Catholic prelates, on their way to Rome,
to attend the great council meeting sum
moned by the Pope. On the seat next to
me was the Bishop of Nismes. He wore
a massive gold ring, set with a large ruby,
surrounded by eight brilliant diamonds.
I lound the "holy father" to be a pleas
ant, agreeable, kind old gentleman. In
proof of the latter good quality, he order
ed one of his attendants to hold the cur
tain of the diligence so as to shield my
face from the sun. At Lusa, a village on
the Italian side of the Alps, we left our
coaches, and again entered the cars. Af
ter a short ride we reached Turin, where
we stopped to spend the Sabbath, putting
up at the Hotel d' Flu rope.
I found as little sanctity attached to the
Sabbath in Italy as in France. The day
we spent in Turin was observed as a fete
day in honor of the adoption of the Lib
eral National Constitution. This event
was duly celebrated by a grand military
parade, which the populace turned out
en masse to witness, the whole very much
resembling one of our Fourth of July
occasions. There being no Protestant
church in the city, we visited an old ca
thedral, built about A. I>. 609, over 12-30
years ago. In the cool of the evening we
took a stroll through the priueipal streets,
and noticed many beautiful private resi
dences and elegant public buildings. Tu
rin is saiii to be one of the most attractive
cities of Italy. The people are a "gay
and happy"set, very much resembling the
Parisians in their dress and manners.
To-day at noon we arrived at the cele
brated sea-port of Genoa, and for the tirst
time my eyes rested upon the waters of
the Mediterranean. This is the most cu
riously built town T ever saw. It is situ
ated upon the side of a high steep hill. —
The streets are not more than six feet
wide, while the houses are exceedingly
high, many of them containing six and
seven stories. As the buildings overlook
each other, the inhabitants all enjoy a
splendid view of the magnificent marine
sceqery spread out before the city. The
hotels are immense structures, and are
literally "castles in the air." In some of
them t Lie ceilings of the rooms are twenty
feet high. Everything here is construct
ed with a view to the melting hot weather
which prevails during considerable part
of the year. Horses ami carriages are un
known except in certain quarters. In
the narrow streets all goods are carried on
trucks or on the shoulders of men. There
is more business in shopping done here
than in auv other place in Italy. I have
been astonished at the cheapness of arti
cles which bring extraordinary prices in
our country. For example, I bought sev
eral pairs of the finest kid gloves to-day,
paying for them only thirty-six cents*a
pair. We called upon a resident Ameri
can family this evening, at their country
seat near the city, and were kindly re
ceived and most* agreeably entertained.
This social pleasure, the first of the kind
we have enjoyed since leaving America,
strongly reminds us of " Home, sweet
home."
My letters are all written at night, day
light being spent in travelling and sight
seeing. You will therefore excuse the
brevity of the present epistle, and the
want of interest which may attach to my
correspondence in general. Yours,
HANS.

"V"OW is the time for every farmer to se
ll cure to himself a good, reliable Ba
rometer. A farmer may save several times
its cost in a single harvest, and then it
will last for a life time. It is estimated by
our scientific men, that many millions of
dollars are annually lost, which might be
saved by it general use of a good Barome
ter. Send for a circular. Also, the great
SASH DROPPER AND LOCK,
which should be on every window in the
land. Cheap, durable and easily attached.
All persons building houses would further
their own interest by calling to see the
model, before purchasing any window
spring i n existence. We have also a large
and complete assortment of
Dress Goods, Groceries, Queens

and a general assortment of everything
kept in a Country Store. All of which we
will sell at the very lowest rates.
