Our Last Appeal We issue this number of the WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, in advance. It will reach most of our readers before Tues day. We have little more to say to them. The time for argument has pass ed. The hour of action has come. All the signs point to a great victory. With a full poll of our vote we cannot be defeated. We believe the Demo cratic vote will be out in every county in the State. Believing that, we think .we can safely promise that next Tues day night will be a time of greji,t, re joicing for us. We are confident that the Democracy of Lancaster county will do their full share towards aechieving the coming triumph. If the dillrent districts do as well as our friends promise the re sult will be a most agreeable surprise to all of us. We will greatly reduce the Republican majority. To that end let every Democrat labor as he never did before. Make next Tuesday a holiday. Devoteevery hourof the day to the great work before you. Let not a single vote be left at home. Remember that every vote will help to swell our majority, and to make the great work of next year's all important campaign ensue.. The motives to exertion are so strong that we are sure no Democrat will fal ter, no one be negligent in duty. Be lieving that we expect to hear a good report from every township on next Tuesday MOIL Bring In the Returns Let our friends from the country dis tricts bring in the returns as soon as counted. \Ve expect good news from all quarters on Tuesday night. Watch the Count Democrats be sure to watch the count ing of the vote. Our opponents are desperate and will result to any means to swell their majority in the county, in hope thus to I.ll'ect. the State. Let:strict watch*,bc kept on the ballot boxes until the last vote is counted. See to Naturalization. The Court will sit on Monday, the day before the election, l'or the purpose of granting naturalization papers to all who may be entitled to them. Let our friends in every district see if sonic votes cannot be thus made. Look into the matter carefully, and do not let a single case be neglected. Foreigners who served in the army are naturalized without ;my first papers. A Rainy Day Democrats of Lancaster couiity be fully prepared for a rainy day on next Tuesday. Let every vote be polled, no odds what the weather may be like. Remember our victory is absolutely sure, if there is a full vote. Vote Bolin the DisitiilOntsts There is hut one disunion party in the country. That is headed by Thad. Ste vens, Charles Sumner and the radical leaders in and out of Congress. They refuse to permit, any of the Southeru States to re-enter the Union unless the negroes are made supreme in them.— Vote down these in famous disu n ion ists and their negro e pire on Tuesday next' 'They Dare Not Deny It Voters of Lancaster county, remem ber that not one of the Republican pa pers published in this city has denied that it is the intention of Congress to Pass Stunner's Negro Equality , Bill at the next session of Congress - . Remember that not one of them has dared to (limey that Judge Williams is pledged to enforce suet au enactment, and to make it a crime punishable by fine and imprisonment to attempt to hinder a negro from voting. They Ca not, and dare toot deny these charg . es. Remember that when you go to vote next Tuesday. Worß for Young Democrats Let the young men of the Democratic party show their strength in the present all important political contest. Let them lead in the light. All their eller gies are needed now. Let them he ae• tive and untiring in their efforts to se. cure a full poll of the Democratic vote, and to them much of the glory of this coming - victory will be due. Young men go to work with a will. You are a power in the state, and should make your full influence felt. LET the young men who cast their first vote this full, vote for a restoration of the Union, for the preservation of the Constitution, and against the estab lishment of a negro empire on the ruins of the republic. Ir• bllSilleSS should compel you to leave home between this and Tuesday next, let nothing prevent. you from re turning in time to vote. Remember Pennsylvania and the whole country expects every Democrat to do his duty on that day. LET the Democrats of Pennsylvania make a regular Gettysburg light against the Radical Disunionists on next Tues day. The leaders of that infamods party are the worst kind of rebels. They openly acknowledge that they are acting "outside of the Constitution." Down with the traitors! THERE are Democrats who are dis posed to say : "My vote is not going to turn the scale." So some will stay at home, even at so vitally important an election as the present. The Democrat who does not vote on nexl.Tuesday will be recreant to true inat)!Aood—a slug gard, or worse. Let no Lach man ever after make a claim to patriotism or pro fess to love his country. DEmocnicrs and Conservatives of Pennsylvania, the whole country ex pects you to finish the great work so nobly begun in Connecticut, California, Maine and Maryland. Do not disap point the eager and hopeful anticipa tions of patriotic men throughout the nation. Let a full, vote be polled, and the Union will be restored and the Constitution of your fathers saved from further outrages. Work for a great victory on next Tuesday as you never did before. nE bondholders or *Lan caster county Know what party Ben. Butler belongs to. Let men read his letter in another column. Democrats of the Townships. On you will depend the result of next Tuesday's work in Lancaster county. There is a change in the sentiments of the people that will appear even in your bigoted districts. Apathy, or rather disgust, will materially reduce the vote of your opponents. Do what they may, the Radical leaders cannot bring all their followers to the support of Mon archy, Negro Suffrage, Impeachment and Corruption. The secret ballot will tell in your favor, and many a sturdy Republican will quietly lend you a help ing hand. It was so in California • and Maine, and it will be so in Pennsylvania. The people will not keep step to the music of negro melodies. The old na tional and patriotic airs are nearer to their hearts, and will win them back to the support of the Union and the Con stitution. The Republican spirit of 76 is reviving, and will crush out the Rad ical spirit of 67. Then, rouse to action. See that every Democrat is at his post, and ready for the contest. Visit every Democratic voter before election day, and pledge him to attend the polls. If he fails to come, go to him and urge him to dis charge his duty to his suffering country. Appeal to him - by his patriotism, his in terest, his manhood, his love of liberty, his pride of race, to aid in averting the deep degradation that threatens the American people. Strain every nerve to poll the full Lonocratie vote, and if you succeed, depend upon it, you will achieve a splendid victory. Even in Lancaster county you will make an impression that will surpriseyourselves. In the city we are ready. Old Lan caster will speak through the ballot box, as she has not spoken for years before. We will cut the first slice from the huge majority of the county, and you can trim it to moderate proportions. And when the victory is won, as we doubt not it will be, we can exchange congrat ulations with the triumphant De.moc lacy of our sister counties, and boast that Lancaster county contributed her full share to the result. • Millstones Judge Williams is swimming a race with millstones around his neck. Some of these are: • Negro Suffrage at the South. Negro Supremacy in the Union. Military Despotism. The Five Tyrants. The Black Republics. The Freedmen's Bureau. The Tenure of Office Act. Impeachment and Revolution. Debt and Oppressive Taxation. The Bounty Swindle. Ben. Butler's Repudiation. Thad. Stevens' Miscegenation. Simon Cameron's Corruption. Negro Equality in Pennsylvania. Legislative Extravagance and Ras cality. The New Liquor Law. Prohibition. Allegheny Repudiation. The Williamsport Seventh Resolu tiou. If he wins with these weights about Lim, he will deserve wore renown than Leander who swam the Hellespont. ouNde of the Constitution Forney is bold and outspoken. He knows that Ii iseh;ulce for stealing many thousands of didlars annually depends upon his keeping in with the extreme Radicals who elected hint Clerk of the United States Senate. lie not only openly advocates making negro equali ty the universal law of the country by COD grenional enactment, but is ready to back up his masters in any revolu tionary design. That further and great er outrages are contemplated he openly admits. Speaking of the coming elec tions, he says: it is i, ii•v,•,l ow ill Will ill tcrpri , l itot. a ',hill:, 1,, llii•ir policy, u. hcir ri•ccilt the her 11:111 , 1, car wit/ tiecncocrttget wiiit/cac their :cork ou CoN That para_raph is sent to the Phila delphia Po 4 i , as a special telegraphic despatch. It is not only an open con fession that (',ogress has been act ing " oldsidt y the Conslihdion," but a bold boast that they will continue to do so unless checked by the people of Pennsylvania. Are the Conservative and thinking men of the Republican party prepared to endorse such a wild and revolutionary programme? If they are not, let them say so at the polls on 'Tuesday next. There is no telling what ruinous measures may be inaugurated by a party which i thus openly boasts that it intends to.tfct in the future out. Nidc t t the The Keystone Eat Dirt The Legisltiture of Pennsylvania has adopted tile Radical amendment to the Constitution of Lhe United Stales, which proves that if any race or color is denied the right of suffrage in a State, the peo ple of that race or color shall not be counted in adjusting the representative population of the State. This deprives Pennsylvania of one Member of Con gress. The amendment was adopted in the belief that the Radicals were sin cere in supporting it, that it would be forced upon the South, and that as the Southern States would not permit negro suffrage, tile Amendment would great ly reduce their representation in Con gress. IL was specially recommended to the people of Pennsylvania for that reason. lint mark the result! Congress forces the Amendment and Negro Suf frage together upon the South at the point of the bayonet. Every individual iu the Southern States, white or black, male or female, will therefore be counted in adjusting representation. In rebel South Carolina every body will be numbered for representation, in loyal Pennsylvania negroes will be counted off. Even the disfranchised rebels of the South will be added to the repre sentative numbers, but the disfran chised negroes of Pennsylvania will not. Verily, the Keystone has taken a big mouthful of dirt! Douglas and Lincoln on Negro suffrage. In one or the last speeches he ever delivered, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS de- " I hold that this t;orernment 11'0.3 Made 01, the 11101 e 1, 1 1501,101 Irllll, men, for the benefi, iJ (h wh et(' 111e0 (1)01 their posterity forever and Nhoubl be mint, niAh.yed by white men, am 11011 e Other,. I (1 , 1 1101 bet„ieue that (he AI mighty ,naele the negro capable of self you eeklinent." In a speech delivered at Charleston, 111., on the 18th of September, 185 S, du ring his great debate with Douglas, ABRAHAM Ll:veims said : "/ e 11 .vay that lum not, no• CVO' have been in focur of inaking caters d 1• jurors of negroes, or quancynnz them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this, that there is a physical dillerenee between the white and black races, which I believe, will forbid the two races living together On teems of social and political equality. "' as n o tch as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." Take these two items with you when you go to the polls on Tuesday, and vote a white man's ticket, as both Lincoln and Douglas would do, if they were in your place. THE Radicals of Philadelphia have advanced sufficiently in their ideas to admit negroes into thisir political pro cession. There were many in the line the other day. If Judge Williams is elected they will be adirkltted into the schools, will sit on juries, // will vote and be declared qualified to hod office. The Radicals of Philadelphia are only courting them in advande. What a Tote for Williams Is Every vote cast for Henry W. Wil liams on next Tuesday will be : A vote to keep the Union divided. A vote to encourage violations of the Constitution. A vote in favor of Military Despotism. A vote to overthrow the Republic and establiSh a Negro Empire on its ruins. A vote to Disfranchise White Men. • A vote for Negro Suffrage throughout the Union. A vote to apply Sumner's Negro Equality Bill to Pennsylvania. A vote to place upon the bench of our Supreme Court a New England Yankee, pledged to enforce that Infamous Enact ment. A vote to make the decisions of our Supreme Court depend upon the shift ing ideas of a political party, instead of well settled legal maxims. A vote in favor of Negro Congress- men. A vote in favor of Negro • Judges and Negro Jurors. A vote for conferring superior privi leges on Negroes in Public Conveyances. A vote to admit Negroes to the Public Schools. A vote to subject the nation to Negro Domination. A vote to enable Negroes to elect the next President.' ' A vote to Impoverish the South. A vote to destroy Commerce. A vote to Prostrate Trade. A vote to prevent the South from paying its share of Taxes. A vote to increase the burtheu of Tax ation on every Northern Man. A vote to prostrate the Finances of the Nation. A vote to render repudiation almost certain, by committing the destinies of the nation to a negro balance of power. A vote in favor of the most extrava l gant expenditure of the public money. A vote to keep up a standing army in the South at au expense of one hundred millions a year, oil. monE. A vote for the Freedmen's Bureau at a cost of Twenty Five Millions. A vote of millions for negro schools. A vote ofltuillions for Registering Negro votes. A vote of Millions for other election eering purposes. A vote to keep in office many thou sands of useless officials, at high sala- A vote to eneourage wholesale plun der by Congress and the State Legisla A vote to increase the salaries or Um gresstnen, Legislators and all Railici officials. A Vote to wring the mone• to pad• fo all these things from the toil and swea of the laboring men of the _North. A vote for.dmpeachment of the l'resi dent. A vote for a new revolution. A vote in favor of class legislation. A vote to endorse the New Liquor Law. A vote for Prohibition. A vote for Allegheny County Repo diatiou. A vote for Thad. Stevens' doctrine o Miscegenation. A vote to endorse all the enormities, all the crimes, all the follies, all the revolutionary schemes and designs of a set of crazy fanatics. In view of these things, how can any citizen of Pennsylvania vote for that representation of New England ideas, Henry W. Williams? how can any one decline to cast his ballot for the great Pennsylvania Judge, lteorge Sharswood. H Ist ory Repeats Ilse!! When Thaddeus (properly'l'ha , ldaeus) Stevens, as the arch-traitor of Pennsyl vania, controlled Gov. (Rimer, lie had the military called out with buckshot and-ball cartridges, (whence the Buck shot War), to intimidate the people, and shoot them should they attempt to prevent his defeated candidate, Eimer, from usurping the Governorship ; and in a similar manner, the same Steven: with his Ruin p Congress and military satraps, undertakes to give seats to de heated Governors and Congressmen from the Southern States. Thad. Stevens, LL.D., (of the infa mous University of Vermont), says than Congr,s, is acting osiNith qf Ger, Cunsti Wiwi. Thus the dog returns to hi. vomit, the Abolitionists having loin since formally burnt that sacred docu meat, having previously pronounced i "a league with hell and a covenan with death." Negroes In Public Schools In Springsoorol, Warren County, Ohio, where the school directors are all Radicals, seventeen negro children have been placed in the public schools,• and sandwiched between the children of poor white parentage. The children or the directors and wealthy Radicals 9re sent to a select subscription school. The same thing will be attempted in Penn sylvania if the Radicals succeed, for it has been stated that should the next Legislature be Radical, a bill will be pa, sed to make it compulsory upon all directors to admit negro children into the white free schools upon perfect egality with the .white children. The Democrats of Pennsylvania should re member this threat when they are vo ting for members of the Legislature. GREELEY denounces the honest and temperate citizens of Teutonic descent as "THE SCHOOL-HATING, RCM LON' I NG BREED OF LOW DUTCH." But is not their education far in advance of that of de Shuddrn bruddrit' who go for the Registration with hags anti baskets to pot it in, anti who think the cotton tax tht INFERNAL REI,NOO oh de NOO RERS.' Go to! as the men of Shiner used to say. TII E Phil ad el ph i a Ii , j says that Congress seems to have established the Department of Education as much for the purpose of creating new ollices as anything else. The imiaior is good Radical authority, and if it will only. look sharp it will be able to discover that a similar game has been carried on by Congress to an extent which is cost- ing the country many millions of dollars every year THE New York Tribun, recently de nounced the honest Germans of Penn sylvania as "THE SCHOOL-HAT ING, RUM LOVING BREED OF LOW DUTCH." The Yankee Greeley is too ignorant to know that, being a Yankee drink, rum, NEW ENGLAND RUM as it was called forty years ago, is scarcely known in Pennsylvania, ex cept among Yankee emigrants like Judge Williams. The Republican Platform Hbrace Greeley lays down the Repub heat) platform in these words: "HENCEFoRTII,'FIIE REPUBLICAN PARTY, FROM ST. JOHN To TIIE PACIFIC, IS A UNIT FOR UNIVERSAL, LIBER'T'Y AND IMPARTIAL SUP FRAUE, RD;ARDLESS OF cAsTE. RACE OR COLOR. TH OSE WHo ARE HOSTILE TO TH IS PRINCIPLE, WILL (Io TO THEIRO WN PLACES AS JUDAS DID." All who do not stand on that platform will vote for Judge Sharswood next Tuesday. LET every remaining hour of the campaign be used to advantage. Let the whole of Tuesday be given up to the great work of getting out our full vote, and so surely as the sun shall rise on Wednesday morning, it will shine on a redeemed State. Deserters. To perpetuate their power, the Radi cals have conferred the elective fran chise on every class of creatures who are expected to support their party, and taken it away from every class of per sons, who are expected to oppose their party. In pursuance of this policy, the Radical Legislature 0f1.866 disfranchised under the name of deserters, all persons who failed to respond to the drafts, and all persons who left the military ser vice without obtaining a discharge. In order to enforce their construction of this law, the Radicals last year dis tributed large printed volumes con taining lists of alleged deserters, and most of their election officers refused the votes of all whose names appeared on those lists. Now, the Supreme Court of this State as decided that nothing short of the trial and conviction 'by a court martial, and the production of the record of such trial and conviction, will suffice to dis- franchise a man as a deserter. 'We in vite the attention of Radical election officers to this decision, because the Democracy mean to hold them to it. For disregard of its authority the Democracy will not seek redress in Criminal Courts, where Gov. Geary's Pardon will relieve the offender.— But they will bring civil actions fot damages, to teach some of our solid elec tion judges how much it may cost them to reject aqualified freeman's vote. And iu this connexion we remind these judges that our juries are about to be selected by an impartial board, to con sist of a member of each party and the President Judge of our Courts. Here after partizan juries will not shelter dis obedience of law. Last year a soldier who had served hrough the war and been wounded in he service, offered Lis ballot at an elec ion district in this county, and the udge refused it, because his maw ap wared on the printed list of deserters. file soldier went home and brought his eerti licate of honorable ( - a:charge, and presented it to the judge. The latter still rcluscd the rote. And it was only after the wounded veteran came to Lan- caster, procured the written opinion of a Radical lawyer that he was entitled to vote, and carried it hack to the judge, that he was permitted to exercise the right of suffrage. If this performance is repeated by any of the judges of Lan- caster coolly at the cowing election, we promise that they shall sweat for it. Perchance our Radical election offi cers may expect protection under the seventh resolution of the Williamsport Convention, which proposes to place the Supreme Court "iu harmony with the political opinions of a majority of the people." That the resolution of a partizan convention should encourage any such expectation is damning proof of the infamy of the convention and the party it represented. The people of Pennsylvania will spurn the candidate who was selected for the avowed pur pose of converting the Supreme Court of the State into a political machine.— T his resolution alone would defeat Judge Williams; and Radical law breakers are welcome to all consolation they can derive from the hope of elect ing him. They will realize the value of the hope on Wednesday next. 300,000 Lives—S:3,o6o,oooAo of Treasure. Cialer the above heading the Harris burg lb. lcuruph begins an editorial as follows: Three hundred thousand brave men lought, bled, ;Uhl died—for what? Threo thousand millions or dollars expended—for what? Those are questions which the people are seriously asking themselves and each other ; but they do not believe with the T, iyit«p/t that it was all for the negro. The soldiers who died, offered up their lives in defence of the Union tint' the Constitutiou. They did not make that last treat sacrifice for the purpose of establishing a negfo empire on the ruins of the republic. The peo ple did not freely ,proffer all their treasure for any such base purpose. The lion;.•st masses of Northern white men see how all the b‘melits which were expucted to be derived from the war are being frittered away by a Radi cal Congress in their attempt to subject the country to the rule of Puritanical New England Yankees and barbarian southern negroes. They did not give :loo,ouo precious lives and .., , d,0110,000,000 in treasure to enable the Radicals thus to maintain the power they have so shamefully abused. On Tuesday next Pennsylvania will record her verdict, and by the election of Judge tiharswood will speak to the insolent Radical leaders in terms which they would do well to heed. Dow Geary Is Pay Ing l Off the State Debt. "Bub, I have just paid off that note in bank, and I feel good." "Where did you raise the money?" "Why, you see, I gave them a new note at ninety days, paid the discount, and lifted the old one." IL is On that plan Geary is paying off the State debt. He borrowed largely last spring, paying six per cent. inter est in gold, and now lie is paying off the bouds which only command five per cent. in pap with the money he thus raked. That is a fairspechnen of Radi cal financiering, and the fuss that is being made over it shows that Radical newspapers consider their readers to be very stupid and ignorant. The Public Debt Increased. The New York Tribum; says the forth coming statement of the public debt will show that it has been inercascd during the month of September. Do you hear that bomll,olden? The thieving of the corrupt party now in power, and thier gigantic expenditures for establishing a negro empire, are increasing the public debt. How much will your securitie s soon be worth at that rate? Workingmen what do you think of the party which is thus wasting all the enormous sums of money which are wrung by taxation from your toil ? Can you vote for it on next Tuesday? If you do, you will soon be ready to vote yourselves chains, in addition to slavery. The Currency of a Negro Republic. The news from Hayti by the Cuba Cable, states that commerce is utterly paralyzed in that model government, and that the popular currency has fallen so low that forty Haytian dollars sell for one Spanish one. Here is food for Lancaster county bondholders. If the finances of Hayti are that low to day, what will be the condition of ours after a few years of negro rule? Let every bondholder get out his favorite securities and try to cypher out that political problem on the back of them. ON . last Wednesday night, Hon. Mr. Shanks, a Republican member of Con gress from Indiana, made a speech to the negroes in Richmond, and assured them that no Southern State would be readmitted to the Union,,which did not fully recognize their political and social equality. That is the rule which is to be applied to Pennsylvania. Unless the Radicals are defeated on next Tuesday, our government will be reconstructed by Congress. THE Radicals in the last Legislature refused to ; incorporate a German sing ing society, called the Mtennerchor, because the membership was confined to white citizens. This is a phase of fanaticism which the "stupid Dutch" (as the Radicals stigmatize our German fellow-citizens,) will be able to appre ciate at its fall value. TUE BADS GIVE IT tp. And Admit they will be Defeated. Capture of the Enemy's Despatches. A Wail of Despair Bead, Democrats, and then Rally to the An enterprising Democrat in the Southern end of the county captured the following circular, which is being distributed among the faithful through out the county. It will be seen thatthe Radicals are terribly frightened. Their County Committee virtually give up the contest, and admit that their defeat is inevitable, and a Democratic vic tory absolutely certain. They are " weeping, and wailing and gnashing their teeth" in advance. The following circular is proof strong as holy writ that we are right when we claim that a full poll of the Democratic vote will ensure us a magnificent victory. Read it, and then go to work with renewed energy UNION REPUBLICAN CO. COAL Roo3ls, LANCASTER, PA., Sept. 23, 1567. ) CA., Sept. , SIR: Knowing you to be an active and influential member of the Republican party, I take this method of addressing you on the subject of bringing out the full Repot,- lican vote at the approaching election. The importance of securing, beyond per adventure, the success ofJuhun WILL[A]s, can scarcely he;over-estiniated. Should our party triumph this tall in Pennsylva nia, Congress will be vindicated, the traitor, Johnson, arrested in his mad career, and the Nation saved. On the other hand, should the Democratic party triumph, we may look for fresh Executive usurpation, and a bold, determined effort to loist the rebel element of this nation into power, I will not attempt to conceal front you the fact that we need every Republican rub , in the State. We lIIUSt. have A 1,1, our votes out, OR WE WILL IIE DEFEATED. We look to you to exert yourself in this matter, and see that every Republican vote in your district is polled. The time is short, the result 'Vitally important. Ito not, as you value the Nation's safety, permit a sin gle Republican voter to remain at home where it can possibly be prevenied. Yours Respectfully, MA E.TIN S. FRY, 01,6/Jaw/. Repubilcuu(_baney Comm/lice. Taxation and Confiscation An election was recently held iu Richmond to decide whether the city should subscribe two millions of dollars to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company. The negroes voted :2,972 in favor of, and 9 against the subscription. Thus the almost solid vote of the blacks added $2,000,000 to the debt of the city. This vote should be a warning to the advocates of Negro Suffrage, North and South. Possessing no property them selves, the blacks will be ever ready to squander the property of others. The mere advantages to them of the circula tion of money, will tempt them to in crease the debts of cities, States and the nation. Never before, in any government, was the control of all property public and private, vested iu a class who had no interest whatever in the protection of property. This, however, will be the situation of the South, under the Con gressional system of government. And one-third of the Congress of the United Staes will' hereafter be chosen by, and and represent the views of this pauper class. What can the tax-payers of the coun try expect from a government thus con trolled, but extravagance, waste and ruin? The representatives of negroes will have but one motive in legislation, to plunder the whites for the benefit of of the blacks. Southern negroes already express themselves in favor of severe taxation upon land, in order to compel owners to part with it, and thus bring about a more equal distribution of property• What is this but confiscation, or agrari anism? And if the system is intro duced in the South, how much time will elapse before it is applied to the North? The Freedmen's Bureau is the first step in the appropriation of public prop erty to the support of a particular class of people. Its sphere might readily be extended until it consumed one-half of the income of the country. The doc trine of agrarianism has already found a public advocate in Mr. Wade, whom the Radicals intend to make President, by the impeachment and removal of Mr. Johnson.' Pennsylvanians and others are deterred from purchasing land in Virginia and elsewhere in the South, by a well grounded fear that the negroes will tax the property away from them. Thus the recovery of the South is retarded, its means to share the public burdens are reduced, and the general prosperity of the country is im paired. Northern tax payers should soberly reflect on these matters, before voting to extend the lease of the party in power. ONE of the lies which the Radical papers of this State have been indus triously circulating for the last week is a report that the President was inter— fering to prevent the trial of Jeff. Davis. The New York Tritooo thus disposes of that story. A Washington telegram to that paper says: It has been telegraphed hence that the .Jest. Davis case was considered in the Cab inet yesterday. I am authorised to say that the statement is untrue. The trial a Davis is whully under the control of the United States Circuit Court of Virginia and the District Attorney, The Administration has not intervened in the matter in any furor recently. Look out for all manner of lies ou the eve of election. The Radicals, rendered desperate by the prospect of a crushing defeat, will resort to the basest false hoods to stem the great reaction which is sweeping their corrupt party out of existence. Beware of last cards. Radical Extravagance The Radical Legislature of last year increased their own pay, doubled the number of their employees, raised the salary of time Governor from 5-1,(H00 to 3.1,000, the salary of the Secretary of the Commonwealth from 52,000 to $3,500. Mr. Francis Jordan, Chairman of the Radical State Committee, is the gentle man who receives this snug increase, and spends his time in Philadelphia running the Radical machine. The salary of the Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth was increased from SLIM to 52,500, that of the Surveyor- General from $1,1;00 to 5'2,100, and that of the Attorney General from S:1,0110 to $3,300. Such is Radical economy. The Yankee Williams, We objeiit to Judge Williams, as a Yankee, notsimply because he was born in Conuiicticut ; but because it is well known that he is a slave to all the fan atical uotions and narrow•minded pre judices of that section. He has brought his Yankee ideas with him to Pennsyl vania. They are part and parcel of him ; and if elected they will be found to control him in his decisions. The people of this State want no such men on the bench of the Supreme Court.— They chose rather to take one of Penn sylvania's own illustrious sons, the man without a superior in his profession, George W. Sharswood. A Qt;Elm fluo.—lt appears from Prof. Haldeman's ' first rate notice' of some worthless Yankee reading books (issued by the Harpers as Wilson's Readers,) that, according to Greeley's Tribune, " The Clam is a prolific insect" ! THE only way to prevent repudiation is for the people to take financial affairs in hand. If the Radicals are permitted to squander the public money at the present rate, we will soon be in a con dition of absolute bankruptcy. Heavy as the taxation is, the public debt is be ing increased. Let bondholders re member that, What Does the Republican Party Do ? Under the above heading the Harris burg Telegraph attempts to defend the Republican party from the charges made against it. It says : Our opponents have no other attack to make upon the Republican party but such as charge it with being exclusively devoted to the interests of the negro. When such as these make this charge, let all Republicans reply that the Republican party has for its objects and its principles such measures, as follows: It maintains the inalienable right of all men to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness. The answer to that is that the Repub• lican party now constantly makes dis tinctions in favor of the negro and against the white man in every South ern State, and that during the war it deprived men in the North of both life and liberty without form or warrant of law. It is opposed to discriminatiOns at the ballot-box fuuuded on property, birth place, creed, or color. In every Southern State a vast ma jority of white men are disfranchised, while every ignorant negro votes. It insists upon liberty of speech and of the press, as the best guarantees for the security of Republican institutions. It tore down Democratic presses in the North during the war, imprisoned Democratic editors, denied Democratic papers circulation iu the mails, ordered Democratic newspaper offices to be closed, and since the war has repeat edly committed similar offenses in the South. It is the friend of free schools, and earn estly urges the diffusion of intelligence among all classes of people. That means it is in favor of annually expending several millions of the pub lic money, on the pretense of educating the negroes of the South to vote the Radical ticket. It ro l uires the just subordination of State and local authorities to the authorities and interests of the nation. Meaning thereby that every State or municipal government not in confor mity with Radical ideas shall be de stroyed or reconstructed. Witness the declaration of leading Radicals that no State has a Republican form of govern ment in which negroes do not vote, sit on juries and enjoy all the social and political privileges of white men. It imdsts upon prompt acquiescence in the decision of the people at the ballot box. Witness the refusal of Congress to admit the Maryland and Kentucky members to their seats. It demands the maintenance inviolate of national faith its pledged to the nation's creditors. Yet when itsuited its convenience the Republican party of Pennsylvania de liberately repudiated an express con tract to pay the interest on the State debt in coin. It requires a proper distribution of taxa tion, that its burdens may fall upon proper ty equally. • By a law of its own enactment all United States bonds are exempt from every description of taxation, while the laboring men of the country must toil wearily to make up the huge deficiency thus created. And it insists ,on economy in the ad ministration of 1 public affairs. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, an hon est Republican, declared on the floor of Congress that loyal thieves stole more during the first year of the war than Mr. Buchanan had expended during his entire administration, and other Repub licans have openly avowed the belief that at least one-fourth of all the vast public debt went into the pockets of public robbers. We need not instance the honesty and economy of the Re publican Legislature of Pennsylvania. Its object in resisting the Detnocratie re bellion was to maintain the Union. Its okjeet now is to restore and reestablish it upon such solid foundations that the Demo crane party cannot again endanger its ex- In plain terms that means that the Southern States are all to be put com pletely under negro domination, and the negroes of Pennsylvania to be ad mitted to the ballot-box. It Nas triumphtutt,in war. It will be temperate in peace, atfininistering the Gov ernment with sincere determination to pro mote the interest of the greatest number toil do equal justice to ail, regardless of ontlition, tatt especially regardful of the interests of the poor, who stand most in need of the protection of law. That is a modest way of declaring the Republican party to be " especially regardful of the interests of the poor" It condemns the policy of Andrew John son and the Democratic party, because it niiinifestly tends to the restoration of the doctrines which animated the rebellion. That is one of the bold lies of the Tticgruph, which is without sense or meaning. It sit talus the COTIgIT'SS of the nation, he eause it is manifestly intended 11l the United :.states upon the enduring prin ciples or equal rights to till men. means that Congress is expected to force negro equality upon all the States. And it asserts the rights or all men, re gardless to color or previous condition of servitude, to participate in all the political rights that are now enjoyed by white item because it is a right founded in human nature and in Christianity. That is a more general and still broader assertion of the doctrine of negro equality, as the great fundamental principle of the Republican party. We have thus very briefly viewed every claim for the Republican party as put forward by its central organ in this State. We ask no one to regard our comments. Let any one take the as sertions of the Telegraph and examine them for himself. Some of them are slightly disguised, but most of them are plain ; and if tho_hegro is not the most prominent object throughout,we can not understand the English language. If, according to the Telegraph itself, the object is not to place this country under loinination we cannot tell what the Republican party proposes to do. Luislathe Corruption and Meanness. Last year's corruption at Harrisburg is acknowledged to have exceeded any thing that ever preceded it, even among Republican Legislatures. Every office, from United States Senator down to clerks and pages, was sold to the highest bidder. .Every charter, from grants to mammoth railway companies down to the incorporation of hospitals and churches, was made matter of merchan dise. Every salary, from that of the members themselves down to the lowest employees, was increased. tinder this system of Republican plunder, the ex penses of the State government have been augmented from two to three fold within the last six years. While thus plundering the people, this Irregislature, under the pretence of economy, committed a deed of ineffable meanness. It repealed the trilling pen sions of the aged and infirm veterans of the oar of 1812, amounting altogether to but $7,000 per annum. Shame that a mighty State, which prides itself in generosity to its defenders, should thus be disgraced by the miserable creatures that infest its capital! The pensioners of 1812 were robbed of their pittance, so that there might be a few more dollars in the treasury for the Legislature to steal. • THE Harrisburg relcgraph, the cen tral organ of the Republican party in Pennsylvania says : The great question before the people this year is the Congressional plan of recon struction. There is no other question afoot. That is a plain avowal that the party has but one object in view, and that the establishment of a negro empire on the ruins of the republic. Let every voter remember that when he goes to the polls on Tuesday next, Aid for "Bleeding Kansas." We have received the following cir cular from the office of "The American Equal Rights Association," with a very polite and pressing invitation to pii lish it : The American Equal Rights Association. To the Editor of the Intelligencer SIR: The Legislature of Kansas has sub mitted, separately, the questions of "Suf frage for Colored Men," and "Suffrage for Women," to a vote 01 the electors of that State, the coming autumn. Our Association wishes to send Tracts and Speakers into the State, to make a thorough canvass of every School District, during the month of October, feeling sure that with such an agitation, both questions may be easily carried at the November election. To do this work money is needed! Wil ing hands and hearts are ready, and only wait the means. We ask the Friends of Equal Rights to to send us contributions—each according to his ability—the rich, of their abundance, and the poor, the "widow's mite." If every man and every woman who wishes to see the experiment of Universal Suffrage tried, will help us now, the morning utter the Kansas election the Telegraph will an nounce to the world that in Kansas at/ wo men as well us all Men are equal before the law.

This appeal should address itself with persuasive power to every man who is willing to vote for the Radical candi dates at the corning election. If they are honest in their convictions they ought to he willing to aid, by a con tribution of money, in establishing ne gro suffrage in Kansas. Some of them may hesitate about conferring the same privileges upon white women which they would rejoice to see granted to ne groes ; but we can ease their consciences on that point by assuring them that in Kansas it is regarded as certain that the woman suffrage amendment will re ceive very few votes, while there is every prospect that negro suffrage will be adopted. Every Republican in Penn sylvania, and especially every Repub lican in Lancaster county, who has voted for Thaddeus Stevens, ought to contribute something to the cause in Kansas. The principles of the party are the same everywhere, and the de feat of negro suffrage in ally State is a virtual defeat of the Republican party. We shall send a copy of our paper to "The American Etinal Rights Associa tion," and we hope the officers will let us know how much they receive from Lancaster county to aid the cause of ne gro suffrage in Kansas. Come, shell out gentlemen, Republicans! Brownlow In a Bad Box Brown low seems to have got himself into a had box with his horde of barba rian negro voters. He has disfranchis ed the great boily of the white men of Tennessee, only to find himself unable to manage the blacks. In the recent municipal election at Nashville, a Northern adventurer, who had not been in the State of Tennessee two years, set himself up as a candidate for Mayor against the regular Radical nominee. He and his friends appealed to the lie groes, telling them that it was to North ern men they owed their freedom. The darkies deserted the brimstone par• sons candidate on the regular Radical ticket went over to tile standard of the Northern adventurer ; awl the result was he was elected. Brownlow and the native Radicals are consequently in a bad way. The whites to the number of are disfranchised, and even if their disabilities were removed, Brown low and his faction could expect no aid from them. If the ex-rebels are not enfranchised the negroes will form party all over• the State similar to that iu Nashville, awl will elect blacks or Northern adventurers to orlice, thus bursting up Brownlow and his gang. On the other hand, if^tbe disabilities of the ex-rebels are removed, they will sweep from power the negroes and both classes of Radicals. liene is a nice fix, to be sure. It is a specimen of what may be expected as the fruit of the mad schemes of conferring the , right of suf frage on the ignorant black barbarians of the South. On Tuesday next the white men of Pennsylvania are to say whether they are willing to commit the destinies of one•third of the Stales to such hands.

That is history, and can not be successfully contradicted. The Radicals who sacri ficed the soldiers to their theory of negro equality, now say the Union shall never be restored until that doctrine is fully recognized. They are consistent in their devotion to this one idea of their party. Is every community there are some individuals who are disposed to under value their personal influence and force. They do not labor in elections because they imagine they can do little or noth ing. That is a great mistake. Every Democrat can help the good cause, and in such a contest as the present it is the duty of every one to put forth all his energies. Let each labor diligently until the sun sets on next Tuesday, and he will have the proud consciousness of having done something to win the victory. YESTERDAY we heard a prominent Radical denounce the German citizens of Lancaster as less tit to vote than so many negroes ; and that kind of talk is common with them in these days. Let the honest hard-working Germans of Lancaster remember that next Tuesday. The Intelligence of Negro Voters. The New York Herald has grouped various eviciences'of the utter unfitness of negroes of the South to exercise the elective franchise. The following facts are worth considering: The workings of negro suffrage in the Southern States are exceedingly curious, and if the parties who made the right of the negro to vote a part of the law of the land had not self-interest at. the bottom hf it, they would be heartily ashamed of the ridiculous results which have accrued. The latest opportunity which the negroes had to cast a vote was on the convention in Louisiana, where they exercised the fran chise for the first time during the past two days. The negroes do not appear to have come up to the polls, and fears were enter tained by the Radical leaders that a suffi cient vote would not he cast to make the call for a convention lent. The fact is that the poor negroes cannot he made to understand the purpose of their newly acquired privi lege. Their Radical wasters are put to wits' end to get it into the wooly heads of their colored allies that the franchise is a right to be exercised and not 11 material thing to be sold. Many of the negroes itt onto of the Into Southern elections brought atskets to the polls to carry home the elective franchise" which their instructors told them they were entitled to.

A REBEL !nay have waded in North ern blood to his knees, but if he will only write a letter endorsing negro equality, he will be instantly trans• formed into a Radical hero. Witness their worship of Longstreet. THE Itatlicals throughout the State are wonderfully disturbed by the able and convincing letters of the celebrated crimilutl lawyer David Paul Brown.— The newspapers of that party are abu sing him in unmerciful terms. If they did but know it the sentiments of Mr. Brown are echoed by thousands of Re publican lawyers in the Slate. W heard one of the ablest Republican Judges in the State declare that Judge Sharswood was of all men he knew, the one best fitted for the position of the Supreme Court.
