To the bemocrac of as t e r. city and Gonnty of L ao In pursuance of a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Democratic County Committee, held on Saturday, August 31st the Democratic voters of Lancaster city and county are re quested to Meet in the several Wards of the City, and in the different Boroughs and Town ships of the County, on SATURDAY, the 21st day of SEPTEMBER, to elect not less than three nor more than five delegates to represent such district in the general Democratic County Convention, to be held on WEDNESDAY, the 25th day of SEPTEMBER, at 11 o'clock A. M., in Fulton Hall in the City of Lancaster, for the purpose of nominating a ticket to be supported at the ensuing October election. The Chairman would most earnestly urge the Democrats of the different districts, to take oc casion of the delegate election to effect a thorough organization of the party for the pending campaign, by the formation of au effective working club in each district. Township Conon ittieft are requested to give early and general notice of the time and place of meeting for the election of delegates. A. J. STEINMAN, Chairman B. J. McGRANN, Secretary. Organize! As wesaid in an editorial last week, we believe the result of the pending politi cal contest in Pennsylvania depends upon the activity of the Democratic leaders in the rural districts. Upon some two or three men in a township the labor of organization falls, and the work of their hands is always seen in the result. If they have been active and diligent• the full vote is polled. That is what we want iu the pending contest —all we ask of Democrats throughout the county and the State. Let there be a full poll of our vote and we shall achieve aglorious triumph. Of that we are absolutely sure. There is no possi bility of a defeat if we but do our whOle duty. To secure the victory which lies thus temptingly within our grasp, we must organize at once. Every Democrat and Conservative voter must be numbered and brought to the polls in good time on election day. That is thc work which remains to be done. Let business meet ings of the Democracy be held in each township in the county at once, and the work be apportioned out by school dis tricts. Let some one man be made re sponsible for each sub-division, with the understanding that he may employ all the aid he can secure, but that he must, be responsible for the fidelity and dili gence of those he appoints under him% This work can all be easily done. It must be done, cud done at once. In this State there are nearly three thousand election districts. The ab sence of one voter in each of them would be a serious loss. Let that be re membered; let it be constantly kept in mind, as an incentive to exertion. The present contest is one of the greatest huportance. Whit. , men alone will vote at the coining election in Pennsylvania. Should the Yankee Wil liams be elected ( 'ongress will at ()nee pass KU inner's Negro Equality kill, and in all future elections the negro will jostle the white man as lie approaches the ballot box, will take his place in the jury box, will claim and exercise all the privileges of a political and social equal. Then lei there be a full poll of the white vile on the sth of October. Let us see whether a majority of the people of Pennsylvania are really in favor of negro equality. The I.adical leaders claim that they are. The pending con test will decide the matter. If the Democrats in the rural districts organ ize perfectly we shall have 110 fear of the result. Remember the Lime is short, and that whatever is done must be done quickly. Organize then—or/f a / 1 1: . ORGANIZE! . - - The Origin of Pope's Newspaper Order. Since the war certain wandering Yankee scribblers have attempted to establish Radical newspapers at differ ent points in the South. At its last session the Radicals in Congress found it necessary to appropriate a million or so of dollars to keep the sickly things alive, The negroes down there cannot read yet, and if they could the more decent among them would be ashamed to be seen with one of these miserably vulgar and lying sheets in their hands. Not long ago that model military sa trap, Ito in bastes Furioso Pope, of hind and headquarters notoriety, issued an order that all legal and other public notices should be advertised iu such papers of that class as still survived in Iris district. The instigator of that or der has just been exposed. The Liv ingston (Alabama) Jou pnal confesses that it \Vas the innocent cause of the whole affair. It is a decent, eonserva. Live sheet, ably edited and well sup ported by the intelligent white popula tion of that section. Its editor believes, however, as all Southern gentlemen do, in giving even a negro fair play. A darkey pan - m(l.l°lin Thom, having been engaged in a slight light with an other of the colored sovereigns of the State of Alabama, was brought before a Court presided over by a certain JudgA. Abrams, and mulcted in the ruin of thirty dollars and costs, fifteen of which went to pay a clerk of the Judge, who had privatTly seen the negro Thom and advised him to plead guilty. A day or two after, two white nom got into a fight, and, not content with one i-et to, kept up a sort of running combat fora ....led., day. They were also brought his Honor Judge Abrams; taken care to grease the Judge's, they were discharged without any fine. John Thom thinking he had unjustly dealt by took a card to the editor of the Journal and paid the m-mal' advertising rates for having IL inserted. Judge Abrams took offense at the pub lication and demanded that an apology be made. The editor agreed to correct the statement whenever good reason could be shown by the judge and his clerk for their seeming partiality. The judge, no doubt well aware that b , • could make no proper explanation, swore vengeance, and at once appeale , l to the satrap t'ope. Tide military lin - bug and narrow-minded despot W:C glad of an excuse for aiding an al most defunct little radical sheet pub lished in the same town with ti,, J070'71(11, and so he at once proceededlo act on the suggestion of Judge Abrams, only making his order general instead of confining it to a single county or State. The above account exhibits the man ner in which the power of such unscru pulous military despots as the despica ble humbug Pope isconstantly employed to gratify the personal malice of such fellows as this Judge Abrams. Of course he is a Radical ; and, like the whole of his crew iu the South, he is ready to do auy mean act from mercenary or other ignoble motives. Such fellows will swarm in office throughout Ala bama and other Southern States for some years to come. The Courts will be presided over by corrupt and vindic tive men destitute of principle, the Legis latures will be made up of mean negroes and meaner white men, the Governors will be of the Brownlow pattern, and their will be great insecurity of life and property, and a reign of terror, anarchy and confusion HO long as Radicals rule and negroes do the voting. LET every voter remember that Judge Williams is pledged to decide Sumner 's negro equality bill to be constitutional and binding on the people of Pennsyl vania. The only way to prevent such a catastrophe is to defeat him at the polls on the Bth of October. On the Anxious Seat. Here and there, even in Lancaster county, are to be found intelligent and prominent Republican politicians, who may be said to be on the anxious bench. A few days since an ex-Sheriff of this county, a man well-known as a Repub lican politician, was talking to a friend whom he supposed to be sound in the faith. Of his own accord, the ex-Sheriff brought up the question of negro suf frage. He expressed a conviction that the leaders of the party were going too far in that direction, and declared that if ever that question was brought up fairly before the people of Pennsylvania, Lancaster county would give a ma jority against conferring the right to vote upon the negro. He as serted that the young men of the party were bitterly hostile to any such movement, and that he himself would oppose it openly. That gentleman is evidently on the anxious bench, but, like many a sinner under such circum stances, he still clings to his idols, and is willing to risk the future danger which he professes to dread. He says that his party is committed to the doc trine of negro equality, and is not a little disgusted; but he cannot quite make up his mind to abandon the or ganization. We fear his fate will be similar to that of the rich young man in the Scripture, who would willingly have 'done what he knew to be right, had no sacrifice been demanded of him. What his fate was all Bible readers know. But some Lancaster county Republi !ans have been convicted and brought o the anxious bench by other conside ations. The other day, as we were riding in the ears, we overheard a con versation between two of them. One of them, evidently a man of consider able intelligence, addressed his com panion in substance about as follows: "I am begin:Ling to believe that politicians are all corrupt, and I Jun convinced that the people are being badly swindled by them. Just look :it the extravagance of congress :mil of our Legislature. The peo ple :are being' robbed as they never were before. I know it, and I ant not afraid to say so. JOllll Stehnian, a member of the last legislature heard that I had been talk ing in that way, and he culled to see me. I asked him what I had been reported as say ing. Ile told me; and instead olattempting to excuse myself I gave him to understand that I know it to be true. I pointed him to the corruption of the Legislature of last Winter, and to their awful extravagance. Ile tried to excuse it, but I shut him up by rcniinding him that about fifty thou sand dollars had been appropriated for the publication of documents, and nine thousand dollars for post a g e to send them all—and that instead o f being for warded to Ulu people they had been left in the capitol, and stolen and sold by our officials, tons upon tons of them being found in a paper mill above Carlisle. That is true, and neither Stehman nor any one else can deny it. The people :ire being robbed shamefully, and I tell you they are beginning to tind out that our party :is neither lioni,t nor economical." Here was another country politician on the anxious bench. The conversa tion was interrupted at an interesting point. John Stehman can tell whether such an interview ever occurred, and who the party was. 'l'lle voice of the speaker was so loud we could not help hearing what he said, and we do not think we are violating any rule of pro priety in publishing it. We have re ported it with entire accuracy so far as the suliAance is concerned, and almost, 'if not quite, in the exact language used. We Shall pray heartily for the com plete conversion of the ex-Sheriff, and of the gentleman who has such correct views of the corruption and extrava gance of Republican politicians. May neither of them leave the anxious bench on which they now sit until a better and purer political faith is vouch-safed unto them, and may multitudes be brought to see the error of their ways, even in the dark region of Lancaster county. Maryland and Penns)lvanla Ever• since Maryland esicaped from mulcr the disgraceful rule of a set of corrupt and thieving political despera does, the Ihelleals in Congress and else:. where have been ln•eathing vengeance against the devoted State. Congress men and Senators fairly elected by the people have been refused admission to their seats ; and, at the instance of such unscrupulous demagogues as Joldi An drew Jackson Cresswell, the white men of that State are threatened with the mis erable fate of having their former• slaves converted into their political masters. That the Ihulicals really intend to carry out that project there can be no doubt. They :u•e preparing the mind of the North for it by a concerted promulga tion of a series of lying and inflamma tory reports. A cock and bull story has been started in regard to rebel military organizations, and such papers as the Ph i ladel ph i a Er, ning L'ulklin, and the Lancaster _Err/tiny Li.rpccss, profess to be terribly frightened. The Maryland militia are to march upon Washington, to disband Congress, to declare Andrew Johnson k ing, and to Malign rate a grand slave empire. Terrible! Isn't it? The truth of the matter is not that the people of Maryland are likely to commit any unlawful act, but that the Radicals are. In Baltimore, a day or two since, we talked with several leading Conser vative citizens, some of them residents of the city, and others from the rural districts. They all inquired most anx iously as to the political prospect in Pennr-tylvania, and they all gave it as their opinion that ;-;uinner's negro suf frage hill would lie at once passed by Congress if the Radicals carried this State. The Iladieals in :\ larylaml open ly avow 1113( there is no doubt about its ly pa,-:;!i., and they assert that wi Lb the help of the negroes they will at, once iiroceed to disfranchise a large number of the whites. The importance of the coining elec tion in this State cannot be over estimated. A Democratic majority will prove to be a barrier to the mad wave of Radical revolution. With Judge Sharswood on the bench of our Supreme Court, Congress will not dare to pass Simmer's bill. 'That is the only thing which c:in prevent it. A full poll of our vote will save the country from these thieatened ills. Will any Democrat ale“ himself from the polls at such an eleci ion '.' We should think not. iii I minty Convention A, 'A, ill 1, '- , +ll by the call which ap pear, at the head of our columns the Denciiiratic relegate elections will be Lehi on .-iatinday the 21st inst., and that the County Convention will as• stanble on W.lne,day, the 2:ith. Let there he a full turn nett at the delegate elections for the purpose of perfecting the organization of the party in the different districts. We expect to see full delegations of our best men from every district at the Convention. We believe the Democracy of Lancaster county will give a good account of themselves at the coining election. LET the bondholders of Lancaster county remember that the decision of Judge Shurswood is calculated to render their investments secure. If one con- tract to pay a debt in coin can be legally discharged by a tender of paper cur rency so may all others. Every attack upon the decision of Judge Sharswood is an argument in favor of making both the interest and the principal of the government bonds payable in green backs. If the bondholders wish to make sure of having the contract to pay in coin declared valid they should all vote for George W. Sharswood. It would not be safe for them to vote for a man who has no record on that question. Judge Williams has none. The Republican County Convention—The Thugs Defeated. Bubble! Bubble! How fiercely the political cauldron of the Lancaster county Radicals has been boiling for days! Of course there is no lack of dirt in the pot. It is no wonder much filthy scum has come to the top. If one half of what the different factions say of each other be true, the Republican party of this county must be rotten inside and outside, from its very heart to the outermost cuticle which contains but fails to cover its corruption. We have never read more disgusting • and dis graceful exposures. The Express of Monday had about a column of correspondence, showing how the Thug faction managed to carry cer tain districts. Here is a picture of a Radical Senator for you. The sgene is in the town of Columbia : EDITORS Ex PRESS Our delegate election, with one exception, passed off finely. The "Crawford County System" was carried in the North Ward by 46 majority; in the Middle Ward by 23 majority, and in the South Waid it was defeated by 6 votes, ()Wing to the fact that our sober Senator, who was a candidate, by some means (I will not say by the free use of money and whisky, but any one can ascertain the fact, perhaps, by making inquiry at Jim Leece's [copperhead] lager beer saloon), induced a number of drunken copperheads to vote against it. As a "specimen brick," I give you the names of two: James McLaughlin and William Cobey, who openly avowed theircopperh •adism, and yet the individual alluded to could encircle their waist with his arm, and drug them up to the polls to vote, when he knew, or ought to have known, that he was perpetrating a great wrong upon the true Republicans of Colum bia. But he will not more misrepresent them in convention than he did when in the county committee, where he asserted that there "was but one man in the Id ward in favor of the new System" and two in the Upper Ward. Ile there voted for two wards, and was not a duly appointed committee-man for either. Of course we do not pretend to say how near the truth thatis. We do not suppose the correspondent of the Ex pres•s lied, however. If the Senator alluded to does not take care he may have occasion next winter to ask for another investigating committee. Under the significant and perfectly appropriate heading of "A Dirty Trick," we find the following exposure of an other of the dodges practiced by the Thug wing of the "God and morality party" in the Washington district: A Dual - Tutcr4 : Messrs Editors: The Republicans of this place have been en couraged by you to reform the present corrupt system of making nominations. We have talked over the matter amongst ourselves, and agree with you hilly that a change is needed. On Saturday we made no distinct issue, but agreed to support 13. U. Shuman, lleury S3lple and C. B. Sim man without instructing them, for we knew that the two tatter persons were for, and expressed themselves in favor of a relbrm. Accordingly they were elected ; when the officers came to count the ballots, it was discovered that under a small fold on the back of the tickets, for " the old system" was written in such a manner that no one would suspect the fraud, unless he was in the plot; and who do you suppose was the ;maim of this thirty trick? Why, itu aspi nutt for a seat in our Legislative halls. (30031 Lord deliver the Republican party from such brats as this one. If we were sure that some better man than the "brat" alluded to would be chosen we would say Amen ! most heartily. But, if Brubaker and his organ are to be believed the corruption and rascality among the faction which opposes his Thug organization are fully as revolting. Of course such a mass of political corruption could not be drawn together without attracting attention. It would not require a nose educated to discrim inate between the "nine and thirty dis tinct and separate stinks" discernible in Cologne, to inform any one that material for a buzzard feast was being collected at the Court 1-louse. Where the car cass was, thither the vultures flocked. On Monday our streets were full of rumors. First the Thugs were beaten and then they were not. The Thug Chief looked grim and a little uneasy, but he brazened the thing out well, and bore himself with the air of a man who knew the material he had to deal with and who was sure he could mould it to suit his purposes. Late in the evening we saw him walk down the street and dodge into the Examine/ office, follow ed by "Jolly J ack ." What that meant we did not know then. Events which have since transpired have enlightened On Tu,sday evening the delegates be gan to come in slowly from the rural districts. Here and there we noticed one who seemed full of importance and self-complacency, and on inquiry we found that these were invariably hon estly for the Crawford County System. They felt that they had the masses at their back, and that they could af ford to swell a little. The majority, who appeared thus early, were not of that class, however. They were principally of the set which have made up former conventions, the adherents and place:nen of one or the other of the rings, the fellows who have long been in the habit of making merchandize of their positions, political hucksters who had votes to trade. Of these a majority were outspoken Thugs, and opposed to the Crawford County System on no less than seven distinct principles—viz: the five loaves and the two fishes. Others were willing to adopt the system,— thought it would be well to try it ; but were inclined to put it off for a year. They wanted just one more dicker con ducted on the old system, and then, being compelled to do so, they would be virtuous forsooth. Between In and Id o'clock we took a stroll around the city. In most locali ties and at the hotels people all seemed remarkably quiet. In an eit quisitely apportioned and very retired drinking saloon we not iced the chief of the Thugs bowing over a smiling glass of J. B. to a crowd of apparently devout worship pers. As the last drop of amber colored liquor was drained slowly from each glass, we heard a singular guttural noise proceeding from the circle of tickled throats, which sounded much like the conclusion of some such mys terious oath as is administered by guns of gamblers, smugglers, pirates' and other unlawful associations to the dar ing neophyte who seeks admission into their order. Passing round a corner into the main street of bur city we found quite a crowd in front of Jolly Jack's sanctum all slightly eleva ted, as usual, with good news or good whiskey, and while an ex-Sergeant-at- Arms of the Pennsylvania Senate, pat ted Juba, the dancing was done with a shuffle and toeto-heel and heel-to-toe movement that would have done credit to the original JUMBO Jum. Things were lively all around on Tuesday night. Ou Wednesday the excitement about the head quarters of the two factions was intense. The clans were being marshaled, and evidences of the pend ing contest were sufficiently apparent. The Convention met at 11 o'clock, and the choice of a presiding officer soon showed that the Crawford County Sys tem had a large majority in its favor ; Brubaker finding that he was nowhere in the Convention, was very willing to take another chance to control the nom inations through this celebrated System and therehore he and Joe Fisher and others voted for Ile adoption, while the other faction had he, deeply committed themselves to Ow (saw ford System to oppose It when room' they had a Convention which Nava nettled their friends. 'The elate.: were all badly smashed and the work hiss tic hill done over again. General Joe to it bombastic speech withdrew the name of a cer tain Roberts, who wan a candidate for Treasurer, because an Joe said, Roberts had that morning fur the first time heard that a soldier who hadn't any arms or legs desired the position, and God forbid that he thould stand in his way. A certain Mr. Eshleman got excited during the pro ceedinga and also made a speech. He would be d—d if the people were not able to select their candidates them selves ; they didn't want by J— C— to be bought and sold in such corrupt conventions as this ; George Brubaker the prophet, and the Thugs must be put down by G—d ; and he'd . go to H—, if he wouldn't say what" he pleased, &c., whereupon Mr. S. A. Wylie wanted tO know whether there was a President in the chair and if so, why su chvirtuous men as himself and father-in-law were allow ed to be abused by a blackguard, when they (he and pap) "were his equals and perhaps his superiors !" Altogether it was a funny convention,aud its adjourn ment has left the Republican party in an exceedingly demoralized condition. A Case in Point The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindcalcr publishes the following account of acase almost precisely similar to the one which gave rise to the decision of Judge Sharswood, which the Radical papers of Pennsylvania are all assailing, but which they dare not publish in full : "In July, 18131, a poor man in this city, having on hand four hundred dollars in gold, which he desired to deposit in some safe place for a short time, handed it to a friend for that purpose. The gentleman to whom it was given placed it iu a banking house in this city and received a certificate of deposit, of which the following is a true copy : "SEO. HENRI" Wrcx S Co.. BANKERS, , CLEVELAND, July 5, laid. j "'1" homes :McMahon, Esq., has deposited with us Four Hundred Dollars COIN to the credit of himself, payable to his order hereon in like funds in 1 mouths with interest. Nu. a a E•. D. CHILDS, Teller. •` Indorsed THOMAS MCMAHON." "When this certificate was presented for payment, the holder of it was inlormed that he could not get gold for it, because Congress had passed a law that " greenbacks" should be a legal tender. The holder of the paper, thinking this was rather sharp practice on the part of the bank, ou the 1-Ith of Novem ber, 1562, brought his suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga county, to enforce the contract. The defendants in their answer admitted receiving the gold, and set up the law of Congress in defense. A tender m Court of four hundred dollars in greenbacks was made. The case was tried by the court. .1 udge Foote, now a candidate for re-election as Judge of that Court, presiding, held that, although there was a contract to return gold, yet the law of Congress, passed since the making of the contract, had declared greenbacks to be a legal tender, the plaiutill must receive that kind of money in return for his gold. A judgment was rendered against the defend ants four hundred dollars and interest, and as the amount had been tendered to the plaintiff, he had to pity the costs." Here was all express contract to re turn coin as deposited. It would seem to be more binding, if possible, than a promise to pay any ordinary debt in specie. Yet a Radical Court decided against the right of the poor man to enforce the contract. For attempting to protect the right of a creditor in a similar case Judge Sharswood is being bitterly assailed. Yet the very same newspapers which attack his decision insist that both the interest and the principal of the Government bonds must all be paid in coin. Here is a specimen of Radical consistency. They forget the old saying that it is "a poor rule which won't work b6th ways." If a poor man is bound to take greenbacks from a bank when the expresscontract is that he is to receive gold again for the gold lie deposited, why should bond holders be entitled to be paid gold coin for the greenback paper they loaned the Government? In many cases their bonds did not cost them Inure than fifty cents to the dollar in gold value. Is there to be one kind of currency for the rich and another for the poor--gold for those who pay no taxes, and depre ciated ragged shinplasters for those whose daily toil furnishes all the rev enue of the nation. I fJ udgeSharswood's opinion was wrong in law, or false in principle, then tile sooner the rule laid down by the majority of the Court of which he was a member is applied to bondholders, the better for the country. If his decision was right, and the prin ciples laid down by him are sustained, then all contracts made to pay coin can and must be enforced. Itadical law and Radical logic are alike lame on this question. A Question of Vowel Judge Lawrence, one of the Radical Congressmen of Ohio, in a late speech at l - rhana, gave the following exceed ingly statesmanlike reason why he was in favor of negro suffrage. He said : " But, my fellow-citizens, this is a ques tion of power. Now, I would rather hilVe tell blisek 111Q11 cote fur me than OM Copper head against tut. This amendment, if pass ed, Will gi-e us ten thousand snore votes is Ohio, eight hundred more in this Congres sional District, which, if we had had in ls;3, we would have carrietl it, and we would not IlaVe been represented by that Copper head who represented, or tuisrepreseuted There is no higher motive, therefore, in this agitation for negro suffrage than the desire to have the negroes as voters to swell the ranks of the Radical party. It is with the Radical leaders a mole " question of power," as Mr. Lawrence admits. If they thought the negroes would vote the Democratic ticket we should hear nothing about "their in• alienable rights." They are assured that a majority of the latter will vote against them, and they want negroes to overbalance the white Democratic pre ponderance. In their mad thirst for power they are willing to ruin the country. Fearful that the white South will vote against them, they have made it into a negro South, and vested in the degraded negroes the entire political control of half a dozen States. With these negro States they expect to neu tralize iu the Presidential election the voice of the great commonwealths of New York and Ponusylvania. A. R. SHARP, one of the loyal thieves against whom a true bill was found for stealing valuable books and documents from the State Department at Harris burg, has been dismissed from the po sition lie occupied under the adminis tration of Governoroeary. Ile threatens to wake disclosures that will implicate parties holding much higher positions. There is quite a quaking among Radical officials in consequence. The proba bilities are that Sharp will be furnished with substantial reasons for holding his tongue. That is the way such things are managed by " the God and morality party." WnERE, asks the Pittsburg Post, were the Jack Cades in the Pennsylva nia Legislature, when the proposition was presented by Governor Curtin to repeal the law for paying the interest on the State bonds in gold? Every Re publican voted to pay in greenbacks; every Democrat against it. The State Treasurer, Hon. W. V. McGrath, a Democrat, protested against the viola tion of the contract. He said he had plenty of money to pay the interest in gold or its equivalent. There was no necessity urged—and the Republican authorities of Pennsylvania now boast of the reduction of the State debt by means of violated faith. Was not that barefaced repudiation ? Let the bond holders of Lancaster think it over. LET the white men of Pennsylvania remember that the Republican leaders are pledged to secure the establishment of negro equality in this State by a gen eral act of Congress. Let them vote aye or no on that issue in October.— Every vote for Williams will be a vote In favor of Sumner's bill, "The Progress of Justice." Under the above heading we find the following article in the editorial col umns of the Harrisburg Telegraph: In New York the State Constitution, now being framed, provides for impartial suf frage. In New Jersey, a State Convention of the Republicans met at Trenton a short time ago. and the party formally insisted on a like modification of their Constitution, besides soliciting the action of Congress. In Ohio the campaign this fall will be con ducted on this distinct issue. In Michigan the Constitution just framed also contains impartial suffrage. In New England none of the six States, except Connecticut, make any distinction in voting rights on account of color, Considering that all the slave States, except Kentucky, Delaware, Mary land and West Virginia, already have im partial suffrage (Missouri is in process of amending her Constitution), and that, for some time at least, the bulk or the Repub -1 lican party in the South will be colored, it is easy to see that day is not likely to be long deferred, when national action will Clll ran - ch ise all citizens, everywhere. The concluding words, which we have alicised, are decidedly significant. Not long ago the Telegraph had a leading editorial in which it openly demanded that Congress should, at the beginning of the next session, pass a general law making the negroes of Pennsylvania voters, and conferring upon them all the privileges of entire political and social equality. The Telegraph is the central organ of the Republican party in this State. That it speaks for the leaders of that party there can be no doubt. It calls upon Congress to take speedy action upon the question of ne gro suffrage, it urges the passage of a general law on that subject; and in so doing it only speaks out the sentiment and reveals the purpose of the leaders of the Rfpublican party in Pennsylvania. The masses of that party have fol lowed the leaders so closely that they believe they will go with them to any extreme. The Tacgraph and other Republican journals are acting with concerted design. The intention is, in case Judge Williams is elected, to claim the result as an endorsement o Suwner's plan for forcing negro suf_ frage upon this and all other States which have declined to adopt it. In such a case Congress will not hesitate to pass the bill at once. We will then have only one of two things to do. We must either submit quietly to see the Constitution of the United States au the Constitution of Pennsylvania open ly violated, or we must prevent the ex ecution of the attempted outrage by a resort to force. Henry W. Williams stands pledged to declare such a law of Congress to be binding upon the peo ple of Pennsylvania. Shall he be put in a position to do so? That is the great question of this campaign.— Reader, how do you intend to vote on it? Rough on "Pao." The bitter contest between the Thug and anti-Thug factions in th is county has led to some very fierce quarrels and some remarkable estrangements between friends. The controversy as conducted in the different Radical newspapers of this city, has been most acrimonious and the sharpest personalities have been indulged in. It 'a as, however, reserved for the Thug organ, in the hour of its defeat and humiliation, to give tile most notable instance of that kind of thing. George Brubaker has always been re garded as the real owner and controller of the iiviuir,e. 5..1. Wylie, its ostensi ble proprietor, is Mr. Ilrubaker's son-in law, and in public and private, has al ways exhibited the greatest affection and the most obedient reverence for the old gentleman whom lie lovingly styles g pap.' 'l'heLzgnir , r has heretofore been only the echo of Mr. Brubaker's voice; but a change scenic to have come over its editorial columns. One Elwood (heist, the County Treasurer, a gentleman who seems to find time to do much scrib bling, but who has not been able to spare a moment or a line of space to in form the people of Lancaster county what amount of i.clra fa.' they are expected to pay, has had his name placed at the head of the columns of the Invirrr as chief editor. What the ar rangements between Mr. Driest and his assistant editor, Mr. Wylie, mad ; be, we know not. But it is sure that the allc tionate and chubby faced son.in-law is powerless to protect the reputation of his revered "pap." In the of this morning, prominent in a heavily leaded leading editorial, we find the fol lowing bitter personal assault upon Mr. Brubaker: some of the delegates to t h e Convention, who had 1 , 011 id.ell.ed as _lhti-Crutvlitrd Inen, when they found the new system would he adopted, east their votes in its favor. Prominent among these were gen eral Fisher and George Brubaker. Such a performance as this may seem very smart to ,onto people, but we confess our to see it. llad we been a member or that Cenventioh, elected as :111 0111/011(..III of the new system, we should have opposed it though not a single vote were cast with us. This much we think is always due from a representative to the people who elect him. It a delegate may advocate a doctrine when he is a candidate for election, and after wards vote in direct opposition to his own professions, merely because lie wishes to be with the party which happens to lie strong est, the whole representative system is a farce. That is the language of Mr. Driest. It could not be the language of Mr. Wylie, because he was a delegate to the con vention, and he voted aye with " pap" in favor of the Crawiord System, after having perskteutly opposed it, and after being " elected as an opponent of the new system." We are aware that Mr. Wylie denies that he did so vote ; but it is just simply impossible that both the tellers and all the reporters present should have been decnved. The only way we can account for this bitter assault upon Mr. Ilrubaker is, by concluding that neither lie nor Mr. Wylie haveanylongeran interest in the Luptire r. t: lest must be not only the chief ostensible editor, but the real owner of the concern. In view of the turn aflliirs have taken we call not safe ly presume to congratulate him on his purchase. The mission of the impip, is ended. With the defeat of the Thug faction it virtually gave up the ghost. Perhaps kicking the dead chief of the defunct Thugs may be regarded as an appropriate linal act. We Call not, however, help reminding the fat little son-in-law that it was very rough on "pap." If he can not protect his near relation and best friend from assaults of such a character, he had better admit at once that he is neither owner nor ed itor of the iinjui,,r. If he is only at liberty to defend himself in the In (parcr by a note at the end of a report, he surely can not have any control of its columns. We have never seen a pre tended newspaper proprietor reduced to such a ridiculous position. LET the laboring men of Pennsylva nia remember that they and their fel lows of the North are being taxed at the rate of more than ppy millions of dollar 8 a year, for the purpose of estab lishing thesupremacy of the negro in the Southern States. Let them say whether they desire a continuance of that sys tem when they go to the polls ou the Sth of October. Dauphin County The Democracy of Dauphin county have put in nomination the following ticket, which the Patriot and Union pronounces a most excellent one : Assembly—Dr. John B.

The Village Record of Chester coun ty, a well-known and leading Republi can journal, thus explains the failure of the State Convention which nominated Judge Williams to insert in the platform it presented a resolution endorsing negro suffrage. It says : "The subject was thoroughly discussed by the committee on resolutions, the mem ber of the committee from Bucks county making an argument in favor of the adop tion of such a resolution. The expediency of this action, however, was decidedly op posed by some of the delegates from the interior, who thought their constituents were not yet quite prepared to face the music. It was suggested that the subject would at any rate be acted upon by Con gress, as soon as the pending constitutional amendments would be ratified, and that the States themselves would be relieved of the responsibilities of fixing the qualifica tions of citizenship in this respect. Thus it came about that the suffrage plank was omited from our State platform.'! The Cincinnati Commercial, one of the most widely circulated Repallican paper in the country declares that: " Sumner says he has positive assurance of votes enough to pass his universal suffrage bill next winter. lle says it must be passed before the Presidential election, to secure the negro vote of Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, otherwise these States will go Democratic." The programme of the leaders of the Republican party in Pennsylvania is too plain to be misunderstood. By their own confession it is clear that they expect Sumner's negro equality bill to pass at the next session of Congress, and they are assured that Judge Williams will, if elected, declare it to be consti tutional and binding. There is no doubt that he would enforce such au act of Congress most rigorously, visiting all the penalties of the law on any election officer who might dare to violate it. He would not hold it to be a violation of either the Constitution of the United States or of that of Pennsylvania. We do not ask any one to take our word for such assertions. The evidence of the truth of what we say comes from the highest Republican sources. Let any one who doubts read the extracts which we give above, and then let him vote for Judge Williams and negro equality, if lie can do so with his eyes wide open. The Philadelphia Radicals A pretended love for the soldiers has been one of the chief methods adopted by the Radicals for humbugging the masses into a support of their ticket in Pennsylvania. They have prated about honoring and rewarding "the boys in blue," and passed resolve after resolve, all testifying their devotion to that de serving class of men. Very many of the returned soldiers have taken all these pretemles l'or just, what they have been all tli time, the mere dishonest claptrap talk of a set of selfish and de signing political demagogues. Last week these professed friends of the soldier were put to tile test in Philadelphia. There are several very lucrative local offices tb be filled at the corning election in that city. Among the candidates presented were a number ,f honorable and compe tent veterans- men who had received wounds and w(n distinction on more than one battle held. The old political hacks were opposed to them. The re sult was, the soldier's were all slaugh tered in the house of their pretended friends, and a set of corrupt political traders carried Milan the prizes. Not a single soldier was nominated. The lie ocratic ticket will be largely made up of true soldiers, and the "boys in blue" will take care of them at the polls. Signs of a War of Races Throughout the South the negroes are beginning to show marked evi dences of a most lawless disposition. They have armed themselves, and seri ous trouble is apprehended. In some parts of Missouri an absolute reign of terror exists among the white popula tion, and white people residing in the rural districts have flocked into the towns for protection from au anticipated uprising. In Hanover county, Vir ginia, an investigation conducted under the order of General Schofield, reveals the fact that a secret military organiza tion exists among the negroes which is spread throughout the State. This cre ates no little alarm among the whites, who are alike destitute of arms and or ganization. Our telegraphic reports of Saturday contained all account of an Open \var between the negroes and the whites in Rhea county, East Tennessee. These things have a very ugly look. There is no doubt that the Radicals, unless they-are speedily checked, will stir up a war of races of a bloody and revolting character. The Fat Candidate Mrs. Swisshelm, who is now writing editorially for the .Piti'..dAtry C winatrch 11, the leading Republican organ of West ern Pennsylvania, was last April a correspondent of the Erma:tin tory . . At that time Judge Williams, the present candidate of the Republican party for Supreme Judge, was spoken of in Pittsburg as a candidate for that po sition, and Mrs. Swisshelm in one of her letters Lo.the _L! , _po.sitory alluded to him in the following terms. Thesketch, coming from the pen of one who is now an editress of his home organ, we can not doubt, does full justice to tile Judge; but if so, he has reason to exclaim, "Save me front my friends:" It appears to be an acknowledged fact that the Pittsburg bar is to-day as little burdened with Drains as at any period since it was a bar—and no better evidence of its appreciation of eexpeetable medloerily could be offered than its selection of Judge fur the :Supreme Bench.

The Radicals who carried the election fu Tennessee by driving hordes of drunken negroes to the polls, have turn ed their attention to the white German population. A Radical newspaper an nounces that the Grand Jury at Nash ville have indicted over a thousand of them for drinking lager beer on Sud day. It adds, "the Germans are indig nant." We suppose they would be. The action of the Radicals of Nashville is only of a piece with their conduct everywhere. In Maine they -imprison farmers for selling a glass of cider ; in Massachusetts they employ an army of spies and informers to entrap offenders against the prohibitory liquor law ; in this State our humbug of a military Governor swills beer when he is elec tioneering at Erie, and after having joined the Good Templars, declares he never drank a drop—not " since he was seven years old." The party is a com bination of Yankee deceit,' corruption, cupidity and fanaticism, and the best interests of the country demand that there should be a very speedy end to its rule. Fish Baskets to be Removed from the Susquehanna. The Harrisburg Telegraph says : Yesterday, upon the occasion of the trial of Jacob layman, for obstructing the pas sage of fish ni the river by placing therein a fish basket and dam, in the vicinity of Dauphin. Ills I lonor, Judge Pearson, fully expounded the law relative to the removal of obstructions front the Susquehanna. Itt the course of his remarks, the J edge assert ed that the mere placing of a tish basket and dant in the river is a violation of the law, :fad a failure to remove such obstruc tions, would render their owner liable to prosecution and subject hint to all the pen ties imposed by the act referred to. Fish ermen should take warning from this deci sion, and :it once clear the river of all bask et and dams therein. If it is not attended to, suits will certainly be instituted against all offenders. This is a matter of interest to someof our citizens. Several of the dams erect ed along the river line of this county are large and costly, and they are a sources ofcousiderable:protit to the own ers. But we are assured that multitudes of young shad are yearly destroyed by the different baskets. If an arrange ment could be made by which that would be prevented the baskets would not be interfered with. Unless it is done they will all be summarily dis posed of by the Fish Committee. E Pittsburg Post, in a recent issue, placed Judge Williams, of Connecticut, the "nutmeg" candidate fur the Su preme Bench, in the following uncom fortable position : Now, during this trying and deep agita tion (repudiation), without making any "msinuation" or charge. we inquire, us we have It right to do, and :is it is respectful to do, where was Judge ? Did he step into the little band arrayed against repudiation, bear his share of the odium cast upon them, and assist them by his counsel and the weight of his mune and position? Did he join the repudiators in their folly, :uul unite with the multitude to do evil, presuming on the immensity of the 'nowt for escape frnni responsibility should the movement finally become unpopular? h tr did he choose the timid, unworthy posi tion of a neutral, when a great moral, political aunt pecuniary qin,stion was shak ing the society in winch ire resided front its centre to its cucintilicrence? All Adlllirable letter The following excellent letter from Janie: Shank, Esq., a gentleman wellknows throughout the Slate, will be regarded a: good Sunday reading by all honest am conscientious Christians. The paper ti which it k addressed is published at Cleve land, (hit) Volts:, Pa., July IStli, P.li/tor Christen/ .Ntatubtr//.. I observe in a recent issue of your paper you commenced a " Life of Abraham Lincoln, for the Sab bath School :ind the I Lowe I 'hrele - as a hook proper for your subscribers to introduce Into their families, and you refer to "the moral :mil religious characteristics of " the Ireat Emancipator, - as of excellent anti profitable example to l'hristians. There is nothing to indicate that Voll have a pecuni ary interest in the ho o k, ;Intl It is fair to presume that you have endeavored tospeed its sale front an hottest belief that its hero was a follower /if Christ. On this assump tion alone can you escape the grave charge of holding up the example of an unregene rate man, wilfully an,' knowingly, for im itation by young people inal the emulation or older disciples. thererla•, 1 can not, wain nit litipeaehing co art nh,:rity and Z.. 111 lor the I lospel, doliht that year truly regard the late Mr, Lincoln as hawing been an eminent and admirtdfle example of de voted piety. I shall really take iL as a kindness it you will be pleased, in an early number /tithe Eton/ta i l, to inform an anx ious inquirer on what ground you rest an opinion of such grave consequence, and which you avow with such boldness. The inquiry is especially pertinent in view of the fact that Mr. Lineoln never made any profession of fan in Christ lief/ /re the world, that lie was never buried with I lint in baptism, and neVer partook of any of the ordinances cr shared any Or the duties which Ile appointed to Ills disci:des—mid that while others, since his unhappy death, which took place in an edifice no; common ly regarded among Christians as an :into roolli to I leaven, have Wade large religious claims for him, he never in all his hie made any for himself. . . It will I, gratifying inde,d, and of sub stantial service to the 11112111,'y of the late President, if you can,,in the faie. of these unpleasant faets, show that his feet were planted on the Hoek of Ages, and that his walk with (loci waa close C,111,1,111t. It will lie or especial comfort to the unre generate if you can make it plain that the Scripture which calls for faith, repentance, baptism, and a godly life as the conditions of salvation, is obsolete, and that there are broad and easy ways to Heaven by which one may escape the narrow and thorny path which leads up to the door of Christ and which is the only one of which the word of (kid gives any account. And it will certainly tend to liberalize society, loosen the uneasy and conventional bands which restrain the tongues of men from smut, and promote general and boisterous mirth, if a class of jukes of which his late Excellency was notoriously fond and which are as yet confined to bar-rooms or worse places ' can be shown to lie proper studies for little boys and girls in Sunday School, and harmless chat for Uhristiah parents around the win ter tire.

Respectfully yourA, . MMtl!I:EI:IIIIr.M10;11:1 The truth in regard to the various rumors alloat relative to a rupture between 1.; rant and the President is that no rupture has taken place, that. the two are on the m o st friendly terms, and that (; mutt has not of cered lOW the Prl'Sillelq. asked hint to resign his So•retary ad atteran.

Ile also suggested that lie alone was empowered to control matters in the Southern departments; but after a lengthy interview with the President, Whiell was collfilletell in tin' most friendly and unimpassioned manner, he asked per mission to withdraw his protest, which was granted. The President in this conversa tion confessed that Congress had invested I ;rant with the control of the Southern dis tricts, but contended that his powers were neta,ssarily subject to the supervision of the supreme executive head. The tleneral, without venturing to offer any refuting arguments, assented to the President's views.—N. Y. 1 Terald. Not the Man, but the Office It is impossible for Congress to strike at the executive power, without giving a worse thrust at the vitals of the republic. So long its we desire to uphold the present form of of government wo must sustain the Presi dent in full executive authority. If he thwarts the laws made by the people through their Congress, then impeach the President. Do not go behind him to teach insubordination, and overthrow principles instead of the man; otherwise we kill where we would cure. Andrew Johnson, as a man, is of little consequence to our people. We may overturn and replace Inin ; but how are we to overturn ani replace the principles which we have voted that he shall protect? Therefore, let it be under stood that he sustains, not the man, but the executive principle. He who upholds the opposition which Congress would force upon General Grant, sustains a military dicta torship, and must prepare himself for its restilLs.—N. Y.
