Henry Ward Reeeher’H letter to Uon erul Halplue having created some dis satisfaction in his congregation, he lias written another, justifying the first. This second- letter was read in Ply mouth Church after the morning ser vice on Sunday last, and published In the "Now York papers on Monday. Air. Beecher says lie lias not left, and does not propose to leave, or be put out of the Republican party. He avows himself “in sympathy with its alms, Its great principles and its army of noble men.” Jlut lie “took the liberty of criticising its pulley in a single point, and of doing wliat lie could to secure what lie believed and still believes to lie a better one.” Hu is of opinion that tliu Constitu tional amendment proposed by Con gress In just; Iml man the present con dition ui' thu public mind, ami from the president's attitude, lie UiinltH a plan of adjustment based upon that aniend liicnit amounts simply to a plan of ad journ lUK reconstruction for years,“ with all the liabilities of mischief which are always to la* e.\pccLcd 111 tile fluctua tions of polities ill a free nation.” lie holds that if the advantages of union are not fallacious, “the continu ous exclusion of the South from il will breed disorder, make the future reunion more dillleiill, and, especially, subject thu freedmnii to the very worst condi tions of society which ran well exist." r l'he Itadleals, then, under his view of tlie matter, by retiii'clhig reunion, are doing great injury to the poor negroes, whoso friends amt benefactors they pro fess to he. If Mr. Ih-ochcr U right, Thuddeus Stevens, whose Red ford *peeeh abounds in expiv-Moii* of uond will to tin* freed mi'ii, will do them grievous harm by the course In* propo-es to pursue ut the next meeting of Congress. Instead of admitting the representatives of the lately rebellious Slides, which dearly have reused (o be in rebellion, and thus setting the nmebiiieiy of the whole I'nion in harmonious motion again, be proposes to introduce a bill to enable those ” (I'/ini'-t Stales” to form State Governments preparatory to their ad mi-don into the I’nion. 'rids would involve the culling of State Conventions and the election of members thereof; the formation of new Stale Constitu tions am! the rutllleution thereof; the election of new Slate oHleers and llidr installation, and divers other matter-', all tending to produce excitement and to cause delay. All this Mr. Reedier objects to, believing that “ the longer the South Ik loft in turmoil, the worse it will l>e for the negro.” He says on this point: “If there were no other reason; if the while population were notour feUow-eitizeus; if we had lost all-kindness and regard for them, and all pride for the Cnion, as in part repre sented by Southern States, and confined our attention exclusively to the negro, the case would he strong, beyond my power of expression, for an early re sumption of federal relations with all the States.” Mr. Reedier says he is not a “John son man” in any received meaning of w the term. Heacuepts, withmodification, the President’s policy ; but with this his agreement with the President ends. He censures him for some things, but says "we must, us Christian citizens, credit him with his real excellencies— his original horror of secession, his bold resistance to treachery, his persistent and self denying heroism in the long dark days of Tennessee;” and “we must not forget that he has jealously resisted a centralization of power in the federal government; thathelias sought to dignify and secure a true State Rights; that lie has maintained simplicity of manners and a true love of the common people,” Air. Beecher expresses some surprise at the turn which the public mind ha taken on his letter. He asserts that for a year past lie has been advocating the : very principles of the Cleveland letter in all the chief Eastern cities—in Ros ton, Portland, Kpringlield, Albany, Utica, Rochester, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg and RrookJyn. These views were reported, discussed, and praised and blamed abundantly* His recent letter condenses those views. He is not surprised that men dissent, but “this sudden consternation, and this late discovery of tlie nature of his opinions, seem HuHiciently surprising.” The “sudden consternation” that sur prises him grows out of the fact that lie has repeated the conservative views he expressed last winter in the cities above mentioned, on the eve of an important election. The Radicals fear the effect of this renewed expression of his views upon the pending canvass in New York, Pennsylvania and other States, and hence their “sudden consterna tion.” Air. Beecher does not back down from his Cleveland letter. Pie deems its views sound, and he is not sorry that he wrote • it. He intends to keep straight on, no matter who may follow or who fall off. The Great Tailor. The Radical journals have expended a good deal of righteous indignation over the remark said to have been made by President Johnson at Philadelphia, that the Great Lord of the Universe, or the Great Father of us all, was a tailor, which they have construed into an in sult to the Almighty. Some of the con servative journals have maintained that the President had reference to our first parent Adam, of whom and Eve it is Baid that after they had eaten the for bidden fruit— “ And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked • and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons." (Genesis, chapt, M and 7th verse.) We presume it is true, as asserted by the Press and other Radical journals, that the President did say the Great Lord of the Universe was a Tailor. He certainly had good authority for saying so. If the reader will turn to the 21st verße of the 3d chapter of Genesis, he will find it recorded that— “ Unto Adaih also, and to his wife, did the Loud God make coats of skins and clothed them." This, we take it, was the first job of genuine Tailoring ever done in the world. Radical False Pretence. The more politic of the Republican leaders deny that they are In favor of negro equality. They even deny that the question of negro-suffrage 1 enters into the present 1 These leaders are not a whit lees Radical at heart than the bolder spirits who proclaim themselves in favor, of putting the negro oil the same level with the white man. They are Blmply more politic and more hypocritical. They know that the doctrine of negro suffrage Is unpopular, whilst that of negro equality Is utterly detested by the great body of the people* It Is fear of the consequences that deters them from an open declaration In favor of these doc trines. They would not hesitate a mo ment If they did not know that such n declaration would lose them thoußauds of votes, The Radicals have tholrforcesdlvlded Into two parts Tho advance, led by Kumncr, (Stevens, Greeley, Wade and Fred. Douglass, boldly proolalm that the ballot box, the jury box, the sohool room and the halls of legislation, both Ktuto and National, shall be open to the negro. These hold the more fanatical Republicans with hooks of steel to the Radical organization. Rut as a large portion of the party revolt against the doctrine of negro equality, a “rearguard” lias been formed to look after stragglers. They carry a different bunuor from that of tho “ad vance,” though both have the same “objective point.” They light on the same line, hut with somewhat different weapons, it is their business to deny wliat the advance ulllrm on the subject of negro suft'rugo negro equality. Whenever they Unit a member of their piu'tylstraggl I rig on t on account of disgust with the negro sentiments of Kumner, Slovens A Co., they assure him that those sentiments are peculiar to Hum nur ami Stevens, and are not entertained by the Republican party In general. As a fair sample of the hypocrisy and dishonesty of tills brunch of tho Radi leal pui'ty, we call the attention of our readers to the following telegraphic account of the meeting held by Gov ernors and Kx-Govcmors of Northern Status at I’hlludolphlu on Tuesday : !’ll 11. ai>ki.in■ i A, Sopt. -1. -The mooting of lln> (iuvci'iioi'H and ux-llovurnors In tho l.eiigue House to-duy was private. Thoro, lin ri ers were excluded. Fuougli ol’thepro eeeillngs, however, transpired to warrant llie follow ing aeemiiit boingpilblislied. The ipiesLinns ilis ussed wore: First, whether it wns desirable licit tlie Northern oouven tL,m should .meet again; and second, whet tier, ill lie .Soul hern convention adopted the priiu'ipleol'negro sutVragoin its plattorm il would he wise and puliLie In endoi'HO it. Tlie general expression of siMilililulH was in llie iiegallve of both these propositions, tlie i inventors goiierallj’ la king the ground t lint, while individually they were in favor of negro HiiilVage, tlie people of lliuir .Slates were not educated up to iliuLpoint, and that therefore, to avoid tills dlllhuilt i|uesllmi, it was ilesira 1 ile that there should lie no regu lar eoiivoealloli of [lie eonvullLlon. It Is tiiidei'siood llml Miieli is thu course resolved upon, Here wo have the Radical Governors ami ex-Govcrnoi's of Northern Htiitcs confessing to one another that tin// art lii/mw of iii.j/ru huffrum , hut deciding not to make a public declaration to that effect for the reason thut “ the people of thiir Shiti s arc not yet educated up to that jiniit/.” Murk tho words “ not ykt educated up tif that point.” They 'attend to educate them up to that point, ami whenever they consider it safe to do so, they will throw oil'the mask and proclaim as a cardlniil doctrine of the party wliat they now put lit tlie shape of individual opinion only. Hut, unless wo are greatly deceived,a polnthus been reached In political affairs where It Is no longer possible for ally iiinii to ho Imposed upon who Is blessed with even a moderate share of common Thu action of Congress, which spent the whole of its lute session In legislating for the negro, and the con duct of tliu Radicals now assembled from nil quarters In Philadelphia, in as signing Tin-: nkgro Fkku. Douglass n plnee in their procession, and inviting hint to speak from the same stand oc cupied by (senators of the United States, are conclusive of the ultimate intention of the Radicals to place the negro on a footing of perfect equality with the white man. This the Democracy and the Johnson Republicans will never consent to; and here is the issue, clear and straight. Let every white mail who wants to keep his blood pure vote on tlie right side, and let every white woman who prefers the beautiful color of her owu cheeks to the smutty hue of the uegress raise her voice against the Radicals and their revolting doctrine of negro equality. Negro Suffrage. Remember that the House of Repre sentatives of the present Congress pass ed) a bill to impose universal negro suf frage on the District of Columbia. Every Republican member of the House voted for it. Thu bill was not acted upon in the .Senate, because the cunning Sena tors feared its efFect upon Northern elections. But almost every radical Senator has publicly or privately ex pressed his opinion in favor of negro suffrage, and the Senate only awaits political success at the North to put the measure through. Remember that tho great feature of he Constitutional Amendment pro posed by Congress is a bribe to the Soutli to adopt negro suffrage. The State that allows negroes to vote is to have negroes counted in its basis of representation. The State that refuses tlie ballot to liegroes is only to have its white population represented. If half tlie population of a State is colored, tho State will get twice as many representa tives in Congress if it adopts negro suf frage as if it docs not. v Remember that the delegates from “the unreconstructed States” in the “Southern Loyalists’ Convention” at Philadelphia, have declared in favor of unrestricted negro suffrage; and the whole of that Convention were only de terred from taking the same position by fear of political consequences in the North. For this weakness they were soundly berated by Miss Anna Dickin son and Fred. Douglass, whose ha rangues received the enthusiastic plau dits of tiie assemblage. Remember that at the caucus of loyal Governors just held in Philadel phia, almost every onepresentexpressed himself in favor of negros uffrage, but the majority concluded not to commit their party to the doctrine, because the sentiment of the North is "not yet edu cated up to that point.” They asserted in debate that if the elections were lost, all would be lost; but that if the elec tions were gained, all would be gained, including negro suffrage. Remember that last week in Phila delphia, for the first time in the history of the United States, whites and blacks commingled in what purported to be a representative Convention of thepeople; and that John W. Geary figured in that Convention, was invited to a seat on the platform with its officers, and was enthusiastically cheered by its members! Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, who made a speech lately in favor of negro equality, is a native of Massa chusetts. We doubt whether anybody that ever saw him supposed for a mo ment that he was a white man. He looks like theproductof a crossbetween a Pequod Indian and a mulatto. Instead of a Republican gain in Wil mington, Delaware, there is a Demo cratic gain of 266 since last year and of nearly 700 since 1884 Negro Equality. The people of Philadelphia have had a practical exemplification of gusting doctrine of Thad. ner&Oo., In the motley convention which haaheen in session there fO?;the ittst three or four days. Amongst all the delegates In attendance, there, no one elicits as much attention eo< Itkuch feted and caresapd as 'FItED.. Douglass, the celebrated, negro orator from Rochester, New York, and who represents that district in the Conven tion. Indeed, not even the reverend blackguard, BrQwnlow ( fromTennessfe«i ( hus the same attention paid to him by the Loyal Leuguo gentry of the city os this burly negro. AH this, however, is consistent with the principles of the Radical party, not only In Philadelphia, but everywhere else. The doctrine of negro equality is one of their favorite dogmas, and lias been presented to the people in every conceivable shupo by their orators and newspapeas for the last two years. Not only so, but they have made it, either directly or indirectly, a plank in ull tbelr party platforms, arid have even insulted the memory of the great Jeffer son by attempting to prove that he meant equal rights, socially and politi cally, to the Muck aud white races when he penned the immortnl Declaration of Independence. We find no fuult with Fred Douglass and his dusky colleagues In the Con vention formaking the most outof their elevation to an equality with the de based white men who meet with them. Wo rather think that, hi point of Intel lect, lie is Urn superior of the most of them; and, ns to respectability, he 1h far above the Rrownlows and Hamil tons and Kelleys uml Korneys who crawl at his leet. We are, therefore, inclined to the opinion that it is a great condescension on the part of Douglass to lower himself so far as to meet with such fellows, whoso skins are a little whiter than his own, but whose hearts are fla black ns Krebus Itself. 1 Now that negro equulity is practically endorsed by the Radical Disunion party, through the admission of Fred Douglass aud other negroes Into their so-called National Convention, we hope to see tlie white laboring men, mechanics and fanners of Pennsylvania, assert their manhood and supremacy at the polls by voting for the conservative candi dates from (inventor down, and In this way squelch out the infernal and dis gusting doclriue of negro equality, po litically and socially, which is sought to be fastened upon thecountry by these traitors to the Constitution uml the Union. Dignity. The Radicals profess to lie shocked at tlie want of dignity displayed by Presi dent .Johnson, who has tlie bail taste to defend liliUM'lf against their foul and false attack;-! Hut they bestow no eon suro upon the Radical Convention now In session al Philadelphia, whoso pro ceedings are not as dignillud us the be. havlour of a gang of plantation negroes at a frolicsome corn-busking. To show the levity and llttienessofmlnd abound ing in tills Convention, we clip the fol lowing from its proceedings on Wed nesday : Mr. Rrunsr.uije, of Missouri, ofibiod a resolution for u mmniillce of live to he ap pointed to proceed to St. Louis, Missouri, “ by tlie Hiiuiu roulu adopted in tlie Presi dent's electioneering lour,’’ except Allmny, New York, p « real upplnuse.) Mr. Strong, of'Missouri, moved to strike out the words “except Albany,” oil the ground that they needed light there more than anywhere else. The amendment was adopted, and the resolution us amended was adopted with great applause, Tills resolution does nqt define the duties of the Committee to be appointed under it, except that they are to pro ceed to St. Until* hy the same route udopted by tlie President. They are to convert themselves into hounds ami smell the President's tracks and follow them—for what purpose is not slutod. Gov. Iloremun, of West Virginia, who was appointed on the committee, had the good sense to decline. Rut he ap pears to be the only member of the Convention whothought it unbecoming any one wearing the upright form of a man to follow the President with his nose to the ground. After the Convention had aired its dignity by passing tbe foregoing reso lution with “great applause,” it pro* ceeded to give tlie following additional evidence of its regard for decorum : Mr. Negley, of Maryland, offered the fol lowing, which created great uppluuse: Whereas, Al!properinstrurnentuhtiesfor complete success of the principles of tho Republican party ought to bo employed and made use of; therefore boil licsolvcd , Tom one of the most potent in fluences to senire this end will be to induce President Johnson to travel all over the loyal States, and make political speeches such as lie has lately made ut Cleveland, Ohio. I’he “great applause” that rewarded tlie brilliant wit of Mr. Negley encour aged another member of the (Jonven vention to let loose a flash of intellect. He scintillated us follows : Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, offered tho following: Resolved , That if General Grant and Ad miral Farragut have* indeed abandoned the President in his electioneering tour, that they be requested to join this Conven tion in ils loyal journey through tlie land, This was received with laughter and ap- plause, and referred. No wonder “this was received with laughter and applause.” Polished wit lias been scarce for some time. Tom Hood has been dead a number of years, John P. Hale is in Spain, aud the American National Joker lias gone “out of print.” Rut with such pungent wits us Negley and Patterson, and such an “ appreciative audience” as the Radical Convention, we arc in no danger of dying from want offmi. At Hu 1 same time the lofty example nrthis Conven tion, and of such high-toned public journals as tlie Philadelphia Press aud the Harrisburg 'Telegraph , and such well-bred gentlenieu as Parson Brown low, will enable us to preserve the national reputation for dignity. The Bedford District. Col. John H. Filler, of (Bedford, is an nounced as an independent candidate for the Legislature in the Fulton, Bed ford and Somerset district. He served gallantly in the late war and was one of the brave fellows captured by the rebels at Fort Wagner, who held him aprison er for the long period of nineteen or twenty months. Col. Filler is a Repub lican, and his friends in that party brought him out for nomination on the Republican ticket. They allege, and we believe it to be true, that he was the choice of a majority of his party in Bed ford county, but was defrauded of the nomination by political wire-workers— those perspiring patriots who busied themselves about “the traitors in our midst” while Col. Filler was fighting in the midst of the traitors. The Colonel has a mind and a will of his own, and he not the sort of man who could be used by certain scurvy Republicans who are intriguing for the United States Senatorship. We are glad to see that the Democra cy of the Bedford district have given Col. Filler a clear field. They have nominated but one of the two Legisla tive candidates to which the district is entitled, thus leaving it in the power of Col. Filler’s friendsto right the wrong perpetrated by his enemies. Of course hundreds of those who stood by him at the primary elections will, by the mere force of party drill, be restrained from voting for him as an independent can didate ; but we mistake the mettle of the bold mountain boys in blue, if enough of them do not rally to the sup port of their old companion in arms to -put him through successfully at the polls. Col. Filler is one of the most talented men of his age in Pennsylvania. Specimen of Radical Hißtory. From the outbreak of the rebellion a very recent period, General ;3Dix his been the constant object of Re-' :publican flattery. .Hls'order to otfp of Jiis subordinates, when he was a mem tier of;the Cabinet of President^Bu chanan, to ” shoot on the' spdtjany, manViyho should attempt to haul down' American made him 11 the hero they loved and the chief they ad mired.” But the General Is a strong endorser of the principles laid down by the National Convention tbatassembled In Phlladelphla on;the 14th of August, and is, moreover, strongly talked of for the Democratic and National Union nomination for Governor of New York. “Circumstances alter cases,” and these (to them) unpropltlouH circumstances have rendered It necessary for the Rad icals to pick some Haw In the patriotic reputation of General Dlx. The fol lowing, which we clip from the Pitts burg Commercial of Monday lost, Is tlieir first effort la this line: A Pahsauk in History Coiiiiectkd.— <femoral Dix Ims hud tho oxclusivo orodit of the famous dispatch to the* naval command er at Now Orleans: “If any man hauls down the American fiag, shoot him ou tho spot I” The Philadelphia Bulletin says: At the time tbe dispatch was written, Gon. Dix was Secretary of War.itnd JudgoHolt was Attorney General. Wlion Gon. Dix received tho nows of tho rebel demonstra tions at New Orleans, ho went to Judge Holt in much perplexity, hooking his ua vloo. In answer to his anxious question, " Wliul shall 1 do?” tho bold und patriotic Attorney General at once dictated to him the words of the luinous dispatch. It seem ed too strong to the Wocrotury of War, and in* remarked: "Would you really send that order?” "Yes, sir!” firmly ropliod Judge Holt, and tho noble dispatch which has made General Dix so famous, was sont. Hut tlie credit ot it belongs to Judge Holt uml not to General Dix. 'The man who sits down to write his tory ought to have at least a slight ao* quuintance with notorious facts, aud tlie man who undertakes to “correct” a “ passage in history” ought not to ex pect the public to excuse him for dis playing a degree of ignorance that would disgrace a twelve-year-old school boy. Rut ignorance, malice and recklessness are the leadlug characteristics of Radi cal writers, who lie no less awkwardly than persistently. Whether General Dlx wus or was not really tlie author of the order above re ferret! to, and whether lie did or did nut consult Judge Holt about it, wo will not undertake to decide. Our impression always has been and Is now, that Gen. Dix himself wrote IhuL order, without dictation from any other person. He did not write it or send it as Secretary of War, however, for he never held that office! Nor could lie have consulted “ Attorney General ” Holt about it, for Holt never was Attorney General! Nor could it have been sent “to the naval commander at New Orleans,” for it would have boon tlie duty of the Sec retary of tho Navy to communlcato with that officer, and neither Dlx nor Holt ever was tlie Head of tho Navy Department. We have at hand noauthority to con sult about tills matter, but we have some recollection of the events of that period, it was tho closing half of tlie last year of the Administration of Pres ident Ruchauan, who was earnestly but vainly struggling to avert the impend ing sectional conflict. Howell Gobi) had retired from the Treasury Department and been succeeded by Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, who in turn hud retired und been* succeeded by General Dix* Thu # “ rebel demonstrations nt Now Or leans”,gnvo great anxiety to the Ad ministration, and General Dix, as Hoc* rotary of the Treasury, sent an oilleor or agent of that Department to New Orleans, to see wlmt could bo done for the security of tho property commuted with the Customs brunch of tho public service In that quarter. There was a fine Revenue Gutter lying at Now Or leans at tlie time, uml the Treasury offi cer or agent was directed to get posses sion of her if possible, her commander being suspected of intending to join tlie impending rebellion ; and if we are not mistaken, it was in relation to the apprehended hauling down of the fiag of this vessel, that General Dix sent the emphatic despatch that lias become so famous. Whether the actual authorship of the despatch be credited finally to General Dix or to Judge Holt, or, like the Let ters of “Junius,” be left forever in doubt, one fact is beyond dispute, though the Radical Republicans would gladly conceal it. The order to “ shoot on the K}>ol any man who attempt** to haul down the American flog ,” was given by a Cabinet officer of a Demo cratic Administration. It ought to be remembered in connection with this fact, to which it stands in strong con trast, that tlie Republican Administra tion which succeeded this Democratic Administration did at one time resolve to “ haul down tlie American fiag ” that waved over Fort Sumter, which the Democratic President had firmly re solved never to do. The only Cabinet member of this Republican Adminis tration who opposed this resolution, (Montgomery Blair,) is now stumping Pennsylvania for Hiester Glymer. Mat Stiucict.kk, the new Golloclor, is edging around very uneasily. Report says that tin* redoubtable und valiant Matthew’ is by no means sure of his "berth.” Tin* bail is heavy, and in these limes of politi cal summersaulting for the sake of office, friends are u little shy of placing their names on official bonds.— Examiner. We know our friends of th e Examiner would sympathise deeply with “Mat thew ” if he should miss his berth. One of their number had the bad luck to miss the berth be had marked for him self on the Radical ticket, and of course he is in n sympathetic frame of mind. His case reminds us of the tipsy fellow who tried In get in to ilia own house with the aid of a night key. After many vain attempts, lie swore it was a most extra ordinary circumstance, but somebody had stolen his keyhole! The predica ment of our aspiring friend of the Ex aminer was quite as embarrassing. He had it all nicely fixed with Simon, but when the Convention met and he at tempted to put in his auger, he found to his utter astonishment that somebody had stolen-his auger-hole ! “Matthew,” we are gratified to say, is not in poor “Jack’s” unhappy situation. Hisauger hnle is there, and he can command ten times the amount of bail required to fill it. The Lancaster l'ostofflce. Public opinion in Lancaster city was too powerful for the newly appointed P. M., Cadwell. He has discovered that however favorable he may be to A. J., he is in no favor with the decent men of Lancaster, and therefore has been forced to decline the post office. —Harrisburg Telegraph. The Radicals in Lancaster city were extremely anxious to have Mr. Cadwell decline the Post Office, and they resorted to the most disgraceful means to effect their object. They did not succeed, however, and in due time Mr. Cadwell will enter upon his duties as Postmaster. His withdrawal from the Stevens party is a seriouslosstoit. Wedonotwonder that the Radicals made tremendous efforts toget him back. They know his value to any party with which he may act. They know to what extent they used to lean on his arm in critical emergencies, and they justly fear the power of that arm, now that it will be exerted to crush them. As for Mr. Cadwell’s being “in no favor with the decent men of Lancaster, ’ ’ we have only to say that he has always been in very high favor with the Re publicans of this city. If their character for decency is in need of defence, we shall modestly permit the Examiner and the Express to take precedence of us in defending them. The“ Southern Loyalists.” The bitter Radicalism of the so-called “Loyalists of the South” who have met in Convention at Philadelphia is easily acoonhted for. They were original Se cessionists —the earliest and tile noisiest olamorers forseparatlon from the North. Bbt they were men of no standing, and. when the “Confederate Government” was formed, they were allowed no share in its administration. Their fellow-citi zens would not honor them with an elec tion to either State or National repre sentative offices, and they were left out in the cold, to their infinite disgust. They took their revenge, when they found it safe to do so, by deserting the rebel cause, and they have ever since proclaimed their undying devotion to the Union with a loudness and an ap parent earnestness nover surpassed by any drunken fellow swearing to his own sobriety. In proportion as they had been violent in their advocacy of se cession at the outset, have they been vindictive towards their former rebel associates since disappointed ambition caused them to desert to the Union Bide. Politically speaking, the struggle these men are engaged in, so far as it concerns them personally, is one of life or death. If they can get all the decent white men of the South disfranchised and confer the right of suffrage on the ig norant negroes, then they may have something to hope for. They could ride Into comity offices. Into the State Legis latures and into Congress on the backs of the negroes. This Ih what they nro struggling for; and to secure tills ad vantage to themselves, they would, If they could, keop the whole country In an uproar for the next ten years, and tin ally subject it to the horrors of another civil war. If the Southern people would consent to let these fellowaflll the offices, they would clamor for “ universal am nesty” usloudlyas theyare now clamor ing for vengeance. Xogro (Suffrage In the ltndlcal Con von Cousldenible disposition Is manifested In the Radical Convention at Phllndel. pliln to shirk the question of Negro Suf frage. Like the “Loyal Governors” who, though not members of tho Con vention, huvo gone there to do honor to the negro Fred. Douglass, all of this congregation of Radical mean white men aro lit favor of Negro Suffrage. They are, however, as their African brethren wouldsay, “ mighty unsartln " about tho policy of making a bold and open declaration to that effect. Most likely they will shirk tho question nnd try to lie tills campaign through on a false Issue. Rut the real fueling of the Convention Is shown by tho manner in which It receives resolutions having reference to Negro Suffrage. Witness the following In tho proceedings on Wednesday t W. 8. Pope, of Missouri, ollurud the fol lowing resolution: Hc.iohie.tl, That while we may and do doom Impartial sutl'rngo necessary tolliuadhsum illation of tho most perfect form of Republi can government In every State, yet wo aro opposed to raising any general Issue on tills or on any other subject. Mr. Tucker, of Vu,, offered n scries of re solutions Indorsing tho action of Congress on the constitutional amendment, but ex pressing no belief 111 permanent puace with out universal suffrage. (Applause.) Mr. Pinkerton, of Kentucky, otferod the following: llcaolticti, That It would bu eminently In judicious now to urgo the question ol uni versal suffrage on tho attention of the nation. Mr. Kelsey, of Washington, D. C.,offored the following: Ilemtvcd, That this Is tho hour for the declaration and inalntonattoe of principle versus policy, undfthat Impartial suffrage Is the sign In which \vu must conquer. [Ap plause,l 1 It will bo observed that those resolu tions which proposed a stuvlng off' of the question of Negro Suffrage wero uniformly received In dead silence, whilst those of thu opposite character were invariably greeted with “ap plause,” The sumo Is true of the speeches. The orator who was silent about the negro was rewarded with si lence on the part of Ills auditors, but wltoever was bold enough to declare that in negro suffrage lay the only sal vation of the country, was applauded to the echo. But notwithstanding these plain manifestations of sentiment, there is every probability tlint.Cameron, Cur tin, Geary, and other Radical sneaks, who are doing the outside engineering of the Convention, will have Negro Suffrage passed over without a formal endorsement, though at heart they are warmly in its favor. Can the people be deceived by their artful dodging ? Brownlow Proposes Bobbery, Arson and Murder, and the Radicals Applaud It has hitherto been supposed that Uen. Early, who ordered the burning of I'hambersburg, and General McCaus land, who executed the! order, had in scribed their names so high on the roll of the world’s greatest scoundrels, that for ages to come, and perhaps forever, they would be without a rival to come near them. But should the Radicals succeed in the attempt they are maxing to bring on another civil war, and should l’arson Brownlow be given the command of their forces, which he aspires to, 1 he would write his name so far above the names of Early and Mc- Causiaml, that no eye save the All-See ing could pierce the space between them. This miscreant, who is pretending to represent the loyal sentiment of the South in the Fred. Douglass and Thad. Stevens convention now in session at Philadelphia, proclaimed the following plan of campaign from the steps of the Loyal League building: 1 would divide your greatanny into throe grand divisions. Let the lirsi go armed and equipped ns tho laws ot the army rc tpiiro, with small arms and artillery. Let that be the largest division and let 'than do the killing. Let Lhe second division bo armed with pine torches and spirits of tur pentine, and let them do the burning. Let tho third and last division bo supplied with surveyors' compasses aud chains, and wo will survey out the land and settle it. We will lirsi sell it out, pay tho expenses of tho war with the proceeds, and then settle it with men who will honor this glorious banner. [Great applause.] It is almost incredible that any one wearing the human form would give utterance to such unchristian senti ments; but as the speaker belongs to the school of clerical fanatics who pre fer the bayonet and torch to the Bible aud prayer-book, it is, perhaps, not to be wondered at. The pity of it is, that in Philadelphia such language should be greeted with “great applause.” If, however, that army should ever be or ganized, the reverend orator who pro poses it will not in the first or second division. His place will be in the third brigade, by the side of Butler —not at the post of danger, but where the spoils are gathered. Chance for Ambitious Mean Whites. The negro Fred. Douglass, who is at tending the Philadelphia Convention along with Curtin, Geary, Forney, Cam eron and Beast Butler, in the speech he made on the same stand from which Senators Chandler and Yates addressed the mean white men there assembled, made the following demand for the ne groes in the United States: “A thorough and complete incorporation of this whole black element Into the Ameri can body politic, [cries of ‘‘Good!”] with a right to the jury-box, the witness-box and the ballot-box.” [Applause.] Every white man in Lancaster county who would like to be incorporated with niggers, and sit with them in the jury box and the witness-box, and vote with them at the ballot-box, ought to support John W. Geary for Governor. Geary’s election would bring all this about. Mr. Stevens' ontte Stamp. Thaddeus Stevens made a speech at Bedford on the 4th inst., which we publish if it were worth the space it'would occupy. But whilst it is full of tiie venom whioh Mr. Stevens always displays, it is not marked by the ability that usually distinguishes hisspeeches. In bad health, and soured by the defeat of his pet schemes for ruinlngthe South ern people and elevating the negroes, he has degenerated to the level of a common scold. He rallsatthe President, as a matter of course; and Congress whioh he says was for a time perplexed and paralyzed by "the Jesuitism, the Imbecility, the impudence and vacllla' tion shown by the Cabinet ministers,” comes in for a sharo of his denunciation, Vha Cablnot ministers hero roforred to are those President Johnson inherited from President Lincoln, for Mr. Stevens is speaking of what occurred at an early period of the late session of Congress. Members of his own party who support the President he politely colls “scurvy, mercenary, apostate Republicans.” In one breath he charges the President with vetoing the Colorado bill because It would have given two more Senators opposed to hls policy, and with signing the Tennessee bill because it admitted his son-in-law as Senator. Ho does not admit that the Chief Magistrate of tho United States was actuated by higher motives than these 1 Mr. Stevens holds “that while but few of the belligerents should suffer tho extreme penaltyof the law, yet that a sufficient fund should be levied out of their property to pay the expenses and damages of the war.” The whole white population of the rebellious States was about eight millions. How many of this number he would regard us “but few” (to lie hanged) he does not Inti mate. Perhaps the strangulation often or twenty thousand might satisfy him, especially if that stretch of Radical clemency were followed up by the re duction of all the rest to such a condi tion of poverty that they would he sure to starve to death. He avows hls inten tion to renew at the next session the bill he brought In early In the late ses sion of Congress, to enable "the mere territories conquered from tho Confed erate Btates of America ” to form State Governments; nnd he also says that, God willing, ho will again try to have tho property of the rebels confiscated. Of course Mr. Stevens did not finish his 111-tempered discourse without pros trating himself at thofeet ofhlHAfrlc.au Idol. In doing so lie traveled out of his way to repeat tile insult ho had hereto fore offered to our citizens of foreign birth. AVu quote from Ills Hpeouli as furnished to the Tribune: The most effective argument (Ifiirgimiciit it call be culled) which will be Issued by our opponents is tho effort liuido by thu Republicans to give equal rights to every human being, even to tho African. Wo shall hoar repeated, tell thousand times, the cry, " Negro liquidity I" The Radicals would tliriiHt the negro Into your parlors, your bedrooms, and tile bosoms of your wives uud daughters. They would even make your lemetant daughters *huirry black men. A.id then they will send up tile grand chorus from uvury foul throat, “nigger,' 1 “nigger,” “ nigger 1” “Down with tiie nigger parly, wo aro for tho white man's party.” Tliuso uiiansweraljlo argu ments will ring In overy low bar-room, and bo printed 111 every black guard sheet throughout a land whose fundamental maxim is “ Ar.t. mi-:n ahi-1 riu:atmo uqrAi,,” Tiie chief pro moters of this slang consist of two or threo different classes, Thu unprincipled brawl ing domagogue, possessed of some cunning blit no conscience. Among those who have an unequal mixture of rogue and dupo, are Lite low, ignorant, illiterate natives, as well as foreigners, who dwell about thepurllous ol'our towns and olLlos, ami live by pilfer ing and “odd Jobs.” The Protestant will Ilstun to adovoutser mon from tho text. “Of ono blond made lie all the nations of tho earth,” and go forth to tho next political mooting to shout “down with tiie negro I” Tho Catholic will listen aiiniinlly to tho reading from tho altar of tho Pope’s Hull denouncing slnvory, and go forth to support tho slavery party, and shout “ Down with the negro." Ah I Hiiid before, tho great issue to be met at this election is tho question of negro rights. 1 shall not deny, but admit, that a fundamental principle of tho Republican creed is that every being possessing an im mortal soul is equal before tho law. They are not and cannot be equal in strength, height, beauty, intellectual and inoral cul ture, or social acquirements ; these are ac cidents which must govern their condition according to circumstances. But in this Republic, tho same laws must aud shall ap ply to every mortal, American, Irishman, African, German or Turk. “The same laws must and shall apply to every mortal, American, Irishman, African, German or Turk,” says Mr. Stevens. That is, the ballot box, the jury box, tbepublicschoolsandthe pub lic offices, must and shall be open to the negro. Secure iu his heavy party majority in this county, Mr. Stevens does not shirk great issue,” the claim of the negro to be puton a footing of perfect equality with the white man. His position on this question is not doubtful, nor will there be a doubt about that of any man who votes for him. Every man who votes for Thad dcus Stevens voles to make the negro his own equal , and he will have himself to blame if he some day finds himself beaten by a negro for the Republican nomination for some office. The Brimstone Convention, Head the running debate in the Con vention of “Southern Loyalists,” which we copy from the 2 > ress. It shows that the members had very little respect for one another, whilst some had no re spect at all for themselves. Brownlow again, aud for the twentieth time, an nounced himself a candidate for hell, and other members used language but little less shocking. These raving, blas pheming madmen should have been ar rested by the police. We are glad to see that at least one member of the Convention has washed his hands of the whole concern. | From the New York Herald, Hepteinbcr 7.J General Rogers, of Arkansas, wishes it understood through the columns of the Herald that he withdraws from this mixed gathering of Hhittless, ambitious blacksand women in breeches. He states that he con siders the Convention with which he has acted at an end. Ho has gone with that body even further thnn his own views could justify, and ho washes his hands from this time forth of all its proceedings. General Rogers was incorrectly reported by tho,lYi bunc to have alluded to Andrew' Johnson as “a miserable wretch.” He never used such language. Ho may have been more emphatic in tho heat of debate than he in tended; but ho has proper respect for the office filled by Mr. Johnson, and only de signed to say that he regarded his nomina tion by the Baltimore Convention as a calamity to the nation. Gov. Curtin and Fred. Douglass. The following took place at a Radical meeting held in the “ Union League House ” in Philadelphia, on Wednes day : Theodore Tilton called attention to a larceny committed by one of the New York delegation many years ago, and stated that the property had been recognized to-day by tne owner. He alluded to the theft of hi mself by Frederick Douglass, who had to day met in the street his old mistress. He moved that Fred. Douglass be put on trial for the theft. Mr. Douglass being called for his defence, delivered a feeling and eloquent address. The meeting here took a brief recess, in order that Governor Curtin might take the chair, and call together the convention in formally. Governor Curtin, on taking the chair, said that the convention had adjourned yes terday to meet at the call of the President; that he had not deemed it necessary to make a formal call for its reassembling, but that he desired an informal meeting to answer a committee appointed by the Southern Convention, which had waited upon him this morning to invite the con vention to attend its sittings. We congratulate the people of Penn sylvania upon the profound respect shown to their Governor. After the negro Fred. had been called out and “ delivered feeling and elo quent address,” Curtin was permitted to let himself he seen and heard, Warning to Election Officers. The Bellefonte(Centre county) Watch man of September 7 records the con viction of two members of the Election Board of Snowshoe township, in that oounty,-for illegally refusing the vote of an alleged deserter at the election in Ootober, 1865. Thus, while Governor Curtin and the gangof Snlokersvillians who surround him at Harrisburg are sending out lists of alleged deßerterß, and instructing their friends on the va rious Election Boards throughout the State not to permit these porsons to vote, the Court of Curtin's own count//, presided over by a Republican Judge, convicts two election officers for re fusing to recolvo the vote of on alleged desortor. In hls anxloty to secure a scat In tho Senate of tho United States, Cur tin Is urging tho Republican election officors ovory whore to commit an ofl’oneo for whioh they may be tried, convicted and punished. It 1b a pity thu chlof Snlckersvlllalns cannot bo indicted and convicted along with their poor tools on the Election Boards, but If these latter will be dupes and victims, let them suffer. iFroiu tho Bellcfouto Wiitelmmh.)

Next to Henry Ward Beecher, Stephen 11. Tyug, of Now York, has been the moHt conspicuous of the so-calluil “ loyal" clergymen of the country, lie wan very strong In hiH denunciation of slavery, and very determined and un compromising 111 Ills hostility to the rebellion. Hls uttcranccson both these subjects liavo rung through tho country for tho last five years, and liavo had a powerful Influence upon public Huutl ment. When Mr. Beecher, whose loiter we published last week, found It necessary to decline the Invitation to take part In the proceedings of tho Soldiers 1 and SullorH 1 Union Convention ut Cleve land on tho 17th Inst., Rev. I)r. Tyng was invited to act In Ills stead. To this Invitation ho bus sont tho following re piy-1- St. Georges Rkctorv, Soph d, lsiiil, (r'en, ChnrlcH <l. Jla/jmi : My Dkah Sir My homo engnge immtH und personal iullrmltioH render it impossible for mo to givo tho time or effort which would bo involved in the journey uud duty you propose. I should bo glad to give youu different reply if it were In my power.

That a conqueringarmy should desire this seems but accordant with the spirit of a generous victor. That they should assemble in a peaceful fellowship to avow and to promote It, is but exercis ing their rights as citizeus, and fulfilling their obligations as intelligent leaders of their fellow-men ; and that ministers of a religion of peace and good will should sustain and encourage a pur pose and movement so honorable to the nation, would appear to be the plainest dictate of duty m the position which .they sustain, and relate us to the people among whom they dwell. I cannot refuse, therefore, to approve and indorse the meeting which is pro posed, or tiie platform on which it avows itself to stand. Your friend and servant, With much regard, Ktkimikn H. Tynh A Shot from the Monitor. Capt. John I. Worden, the gallant commander of the “Monitor” in her celebrated and triumphant combat with the rebel rain “Virginia” in Hamilton Roads, has written the following letter in answer to an invitation to attend the Soldiers and Sailors Convention at Cleveland : United States Steam.suip Pensacola, ) New York Harbor, Sept. U, Ikm, My Dear General:—L am in receipt of your kind invitation of the -Uh inst., to par ticipate in the Convention of officers, to be held ut Cleveland, Ohio, ‘‘to upprovo the present plans of reconstruction and the President's policy generally.” Bo assured, General, the poiicy of sustaining tho Ad ministration ineoLs my hearty upproval, and nothing would give me greater pleas ure than uniting with my old companions iu arms in this effort; but as my ship will sail in a few days to join tho South Pacific squadron, I will not bo in the United Slates when the Convention assembles. During tho rebellion my whole heurt and soul were enlisted in efforts towards its suppression, and now lhal it is suppressed, I feel a plousunt duty to extend to our re pentiqit Southern brethren tho right hand of Generous mugnanimity Lowarda fallen foe is characteristic©! brave men, and this principle is eminently shown in tho sentimeuts so warmly and frequonlly expressed lately by tho bravo men who participated in subduing tho rebellion. Trusting that the Convention, by its wis dom, moderation and patriotism, may strengthen the hands of tho Government in its efforts towards reconstruction and recon ciliation, and meet the views and support of all patriotic citizens, especially those who served in the army and navy during tho rebellion, I remain very truly yours. John I. Worden, Captain U.X. X Major Gen. Ciias. G. llalimn. Radical Xcgrophoaia, It is proposed by some one, to have ex hibited m the Exposition, a model Ameri can school house, with the teachers and scholars engaged in their respective em ployments. It would show the old world how we raise men in thiscountry. It would be a good accompaniment to the guns of twenty-inch calibre. Perhaps the progres sive spirit of the age and the improving con dition of the country would be more impres sively shown if the school were composed of freedmen's children .— Express. We direct the attention of the public to the concluding sentence of the fore going article. The Express is so well pleased with the reception of the negro Fred. Douglass by its Radical friends in Philadelphia, that it is encouraged to suggest a negro exhibition on a grander scale. It is not content to have the schools of America represented at the Great European Exposition by white scholars. It thinks these would not sufficiently illustrate “the progressive spirit of the age and the improving,condi tion of the country.” It seems to think white children have not beauty and talent enough to representan American school with credit. It prefers to have us represented by the short-wooled, moon-eyed, black-skinned, blubber lipped, crooked-shinned, thick-tongued, gizzard-footed, skunk-scented little nig gers of the South, the best-educated of whom would make us the laughing stock of Europe by their mispronun ciation of the English language.

Which of these two men ought the Republicans to plueo the hlgheHtcondilence in V Mr. Beecher bun been an anti-slavery man for thirty years. What Jack Hamilton has been may be seen by reading the following proceedings of a meeting over which he presided in Texas, wltere he still re sides : At a meeting of the citizens of Travis county, assembled on the Kith of Juno, In tiie city of Austin, to express their appro bation of the late spirited conduct of Hon. Preston S. P.rooks, of South Carolina, thu Hon. A. .1, Hamilton was called to the chair and A. J. Lott appointed secretary. On motion of Wm. Byrd, the following preamble and resolutions wore unanimous ly adopted, viz: W ii iorkas, Wo lmvo learned with sincere pleasure of tho prompt and merited casti gation inlliclcd by the Hon, Preston S.

It happened, curiously enough, thut the tlieu “ hypocritical and slanderous enemies” of the South, whom he was then willing to whip with the full force of his arm, are his present friends and backers. Here is another episode in Hamilton’?* career, which we find iu the Houston Journal: Ckntkkvii.lk, Leon Co., Aug. It).

If you will com municate with Mr. Webb Kidd, senior, wlio was lute a resident of this county, but now r resides near Hutaw, in Robertson county, he can furnish you an interesting chapter, tending to illustrate the ruling passion of the hero's career. Mr. Kidd knew Hamilton in ins incipieuey in North Alabama. Thuv both resided, I believe, m the same county. Mr. Kind employed him as agent to sell a tract of land. Hamilton sold it, embezzled the money, and decamped to Texas. It was the money that paid tho hero's way to the Lone Star State. Mr. Kidd informs me thut he has never been able to get a cent of his money. Mr. Kidd is a reliable man, and will give you, should you desire it, the details of this transaction, besides various other circumstances ofau interesting nature, tending to show up the achievements of the giant in his younger days, all ol which will be instructive and necessary to tho truth of history. ~ KespeettulJy, .
