WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1867.
Prepare for the Presidential Campaign
The Intelllgeneer for 1808.
On the first of January next, wo will
greatly enlarge the WEEKLY INTELLIGEN
OER, making it a nine column paper. It
will then be the largest Democratic Journal
published in Pennsylvania.
As we publish an evening daily paper,
we possess facilities for making up a first
class Weekly Journal, superior to those of
any other Demobratio office in Pennsylva
nia. With the proposed enlargement we
shall be able to give a very large amount,
and a very great variety of reading matter;
and we confidently anticipate a largely in
creased circulation.
Our subscription price is already low,
but, us a special inducement, we now offer
to furnish the WEEKLY INTELLIOENCEB
to new subscrthers, from this time until Jan
uary Ist, 1869, for two dollars.
We hope every reader ol the INTELLIOEN
OM will exert himself to increase our sub
scription list. The all importatit.campaign
of 1868 is already open. It will be the most
exciting contest the country has ever wit
nossod, and the most potent agency to be
employed is the Democratic press. It is
the bounden duty of every Democrat to
help us tight this great' battle Lot every
ono of our readers do his utmost to increase
our circulation.
The Elections
We publish to-day the official result
of the recent election in this State,
showing Judge Sharswood's majority
to be 022. Also the complexion of the
Legislature, in which the Democracy
make very large gains.
In Ohio full returns from the State,
all but eight counties being official,
show that Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes,
the Republican candidate for Governor.
has a majority of 2,853 over Judge Thur
man. The returns of the Ohio election
show an Increased vote as compared
with last year, and indicate that the
vote at the recent election was the
largest ever polled in that State. The
Cincinnati CI azette, says that this large
vote was not anticipated, and that at
least 59,000 more ballots were cast than
at the Governor's election in 1865.
In lowa, official returns from seven
teen counties show a fulling off of 674
in the total vote, and of 2,620 In the
Republican vote, whilst the Democrats
gain 1,915 votes. There are ninety-nine
counties in lowa, and returns, official
and unofficial, from seventy•two of
them, give Merrill, Republican, a ma
jority of 25,724 fur Governor, as com
pared with 35,412 Republican majority
in those counties at the election last
year.
In Indiana no State officers and no
members of the Legislature were elect
ed, the contest being oil ordinary county
offices alone. The Democratic gains
were large.
In Montana the election for Delegate
to Congress is officially reported to have
resulted in 6,004 votes for Cavanaugh,
Democrat, and 1,896 for Sanders, Ile
publican, a Democratic majority of
1,105.
In California the judicial election
which took place on the 17th instan
resulted in another Democratic victory.
The tide of •success is with us every

Its Mission Ended.
The mission of the Republican party
it.; ended. The war is over, and all men
of sense are anxious to see the country
restored to peace and prosperity. The
passions engendered by a tierce strife of
years are being rapidly soothed into
rest, and kindly feelings are Caking the
place of hatred in all use American
hearts. The people are calmly scruti
nizing the pollueul situation. They see
, the Republican party fully committed
to the doctrine of negro equality. It can
not and dare not abandon its favorite
theory. With the surrender of that one
idea the whole scheme of reconstruct'
011 which the leaders of the party have
staked the very existence of their party
would full to the ground, tumbling the
entice structure into ruins. There are
whispers of moderation, and a few tali;
with hated breath of a change of policy.
It is too late. The Republican party
dug its grave when it attempted to
establish its power on the rotten props
of negro republics in the South. The
American people will tolerate no such
thing They have spoken loudly in the
recent elections, and there will be no
end of the great reaction now going on,
until the corrupt, extravagant and
fanatical Radicals who lead the Repub
lican party are all hurled from power.
They cannot abandon the platform they
have laid down, and on that even Gen
eral Grunt would be defeated,
Treating Negroes Impolitely.
The Radical newspapers of this Slate
are making a terrible howl, because cer
tain, not very flattering, likenesses of
negraes appear iu country papers of hie
Democratic pursuasion, and on what
are called "Salt River tickets." We
hope these champions of the African
race will keep cool. The Democracy
cherish no animosity toward the negro
race. They are willing to guarantee to
every one of them perfect and complete
protection in every Hula, of person and
property, to make them fully equal
to whites In these important respects
under the taws of every State in the
Union. But we do intend to insist that
the negro shall not vote in any State
unless the white peoic. of such State
chose to confer upon that privilege;
that he shall not be fore d into the jur.

shall not be elevated to office over the
heads of white men, 104 Is cow dolitt lu

now the ease In this State. There is no
danger that the negro will beabu4ed by
the Denim:racy when they curve into
power. Ile will only he politely asked
to step out or tile political arena, and to
stay out of it until such time as the
white people of the different States
shall agree to admit, him to the ballot

behalf. And that time will be long In

The election In Ohio Healed that quell

Tin•: Radicals of Philadelphia are
making an attempt to treat the election
in that city as if it had not been held.
Without the slightest grounds for so
doing they are engaged in an attempt
to throw out the votes of several strong
Diinmratic districts. We sometime'.
think there will be need for a second
Buck Shot War berm" we get things
fairly settled. Let the Radicals take
Care tiny do not provoke it.
T E thew York Times says there are
practiced reasons why uegroes should
vote in the South which do not apply
to Ohio. The only practical reasons of
the Mild we know are the necessities of
the Radical party. They can only hope
to maintain their hold on power by set
ting up a negro empire on the ruins of
the Southern States, and that can only
be done at Lhe most enormous cost to
the people of the North.
CALVIN T. HuLnAlto, the Radical
nominee for Controller of the State of
New York, has declined to be a condi
date. No doubt he is wise in this, as
the Round Table honestly admits that
the Democracy will sweep the State at
the coming election.
An Attempt to :Make Slaves of White
For years past the bloated capitalists
belonging to the Radical Republican
party have assumed to control the votes
'of those who were in their employ. An
nually, as elections have occurred, they
have issued their orders, with the air of
a master dictating to his slaves, and
poor men have been forced to vote
against their conviction, or to lose their
situations at a time of year when labor
la scarce and difficult to obtain. They
have established a system of espionage,
and have set pimps and spies to watch
the laboring man as he went to the polls
to discharge the duty of a freeman. We
have had many instances of that kind
in Lancaster county, and from time to
time our attention has been called to
these constantly recurring outrages.
Only a day or two since we published
the certificate of two respectable men,
stating that they had been discharged
from the Farnum Cotton Mill of this
city for voting the Democratic ticket.
This morning another comes to us with
a similar complaint.
If there 1y one duty which every
American citizen should be permitted
to discharge freely and without intimi
dation, It is the sacred obligation to vote
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. To deprive a citizen of that
inalienable and Inestimable right is to
subject him to the most galling and de
grading species of tyranny. No man
with a spark of the spirit of a freeman
in his breast would consent to be thus
controlled. He who could be so influ
cooed would thereby -show himself to
be unlit to exercise this, the highest
and moat precious prerogative of Amer•
lean citizenship. He who would attempt
to browbeat any laboring man into
voting against his political convictions
by threatening to discharge him from
employment, is actuated by a base dis
regard of all the nearest and dearest
rights of the citizen. At the ballot box
every voter is on a perfect equality. The
rights and privileges of the humblest
are equal in all respects to those of the
very highest. The secret ballot has
been provided to protect the poor. It
should be a perfect shield to them. No
man has a right to know how another
votes, unless he chooses to vote an open
ticket; and the proscriptive capitalist
who would set a spy to watch his em
ployees, deserves the contempt of all
honest and right thinking men.
There is a way to deal with that class
of people. The Democracy have it in
their power to protect the laboring men of
their party, and they should not hesitate
to do so. The method is simple and
easy. Hereafter let no Democrat buy a
single dollar's worth of any one who at•
tempts thus to interfere with the sacred
rights of the citizen. Let them make
this all inexorable law, never to be de-
parted from under any circumstances,
and there will be an end to this species
of mean spirited and rascally tyranny.
Generat Grant Nominated by the Radi
cals or Lancaster County on the
Platform of Universal Negro Suffrage.
The Radical County Committee as
sembled in this city Monday, and we
find the following report of the proceed
ings in the Erprcss, of Monday eve
ning:
ine,ting of the Republican County
Committ.., of Lancaster county was held
in this city to-day, at which the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Wit ERBAS, The llon. E. 13 \\ash borne,
of Illinois,. hits declared that General C. S.
Grant " believes there is no protection or
safety to the colored people and the loyal
white people in the rebel States, except
througn impartial suffrage. The recon
struction acts having recognized the entire
equality of all American citizens in the
States badly in rc hel lino, he believes that
consistency, as well us impartial justice,
demands t .at there should be no distinction
against. any class of persons in any of the
States."
And, NVlatres, he has also declared that
Gen. Grant's " sympathies, Ms convictions
find hi hopes are 71011', Hs they ctifito,ys hare
been, with the great patriotic and loyal peo
ple that carried the country through the
lie is in favor mut upholding the 111/nor
and cretin of the 1111111111 U government, and
holds that all tffir.bligations u. tua be dis
chnrged in conformity to the terms on
which they were contracted. Ile thinks
ttucre should Ito exercised by Congress and
by all depart melds of the government, a
more rigid and searching economy in the
expenditures of the public money, turd
wheret er he has had control he has struck
mull every useless expense and reformed
every abuse." Therefore,
Eesoired, That we, the Union Republican
County Committee of Lancaster county,
having full faith and confidence in the Re
publicanism of General U. S. Grunt, re
commend his nomination as the next Re
publican candidate for President of the
rutted Suites, and lieu eby pledge to him the
curd iul, earnest support of the Republican
party of Lancaster county.
Rosoleed, That a copy of these resolutions
be fitrwarded to lien. Grant, by the officers
of this committee.
No other business seems to have been
done by the Counnittee, and we are
therefore at liberty to infer that the
sole object of the meeting was to con
sider anti pass the above resolutions.—
They were offered by John A. Hiestand,
Esq., of the Examiner, and passed with
out opposition.
We do not know how General Grant
will receive this expression of opinion
from the home of Thaddeus Stevens.—
By it he is given to understand that he
isonly to reeei ve thesupport of the Rad
icals on condition of his fully endorsing
not only the establishment of negro
States in the South, but the most entire
equality of the two races in every State
in the Union. If General Grant con
sents to be the nominee of the Radicals,
anti 'they run him as their candidate,
there can be no doubt about the position
he will occupy. lie will be fully and
completely committed to the most ex
treme noctrines of that party. An at
tempt may Ire made to gull the people
by die adoption of a platform which
will be capable of two Interpretations,
but we do not think any man, can be
found at this lute day stupid enough to be
deceived by such transparent trickery.
Should General Grant permit himself
to be made the pliant tool of the corrupt
politicians of the Radical party, he will
at once line the respect of the people to
a great extent. Instead of being a very
strong vantlidate, he would under such
circumstances be a very weak one, and
would certainly be beaten. In the
el/Ming Presidential election no man
can be carried through On military rep•
utation alone. 'rile people know and
feel that there Is too much at stake to
allow their votes to be controlled by
mere personal eonsiderations. Measures,
not men, will be the rallying cry of the
successful party In the coming contest.
A Coward's Fate.
Old Thad has written another letter
In which he sap :
as I am, I truer this occasion to
thank gad for oar late (bleat. The hepub
licuns bare been aet , bll a cowardly part, and
have Inet a coward's fate."
What will the leaders in Pennsyl
vania do about It? Will they come up
to Mr. Stevens' standard, or will they
stilt act the part of cowards, and be
beaten next year, as they deserve to
be? It is a question which will require
careful consideration at their hands.
Frauds In Registration.
Perfectly reliable reports from the
different Southern States continue to
confirm the statement that the most
gigantic frauds are being perpetrated in
the registration of the negroes. Not
only le the number registered evidently
out of all proportion to the negro popu
lation, but multitudes of negro boys are
registered, and many have been regis
tered twice or thrice in different wards
in the cities and in neighboring dis
tricts to the country. This is part of
the systematic effort which is being
made to turn all the Southern States
over to the domination of the negroes.
The Dirty of Congress
We know no name which would so
appropriately describe the political or
ganization which stands opposed to us
as "The Party of Congress." In the
tecent campaign in this and other States
the Republican newspapers and orators
all took especial pains to identify them
selves with Congress. They incessantly
repeated the declaration that the only
live issue was the endorsement of the
acts of Congress since the close of the
rebellion. That body was lauded to the
skies, and the measures it Lad adopted
were all most unequivocally endorsed.
What these acts have been the people
know. They have seen what is appro
priately styled "The Rump" setting at
naught the Constitution, refusing to
permit a restoration of the Union, set
ting up a negro empire on the ruins of
he States recently in rebellion, estab
Ishing a military despotism to subject
he white race to the domination of the
ignorant and barbarian blacks, spend
ing all the vast sums wrung from the
sweat and toil of the North to manipu
late the votes.of the late slaves, ruining
the industry of the entire South by the
most unwise policy, crippling trade by
cutting off one-half the resources of the
country, destroying commerce by the
most unwise legislation, fanning the
flames of hatred between the two sec
tions of a common country, usurping
the powers rightfully belonging to the
Executive, interfering with the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
and with all the courts of one-half of
the country, expending many millions
of the peoples' money in the most reck
less schemes, plundering the public
treasury so as to increase the enor
mous and crushing public debt, pre
venting a return to specie payment,
keeping prices of everything up to an
exhorbitant figure, and doing other
wrong acts innumerable to preventthe
power from passing out of their hands.
Every one of these acts was fully en
dorsed by the Republican party in every
State where elections have been held.
The people have so understood it. And
it is against the Republican party, as
"The Party of Congress," that theover
whelming popular verdict has been ten
dered. The masses are tired of it. They
see how it is ruining the country and
preventing the return of peace and
prosperity, and the elections of this
year are but the mutterings which pre
cede the great storm of popular indhz
nation which will sweep over the whole
country next fall. The people have
decided that they will no longer be
ruled by such men as Thad Stevens,
Charles Sumner and their followers in
Congress. Revolutions like this one
never go backward.
The Liquor Law
The stringent' liquor' law passed at
the last session of our Legislature has
remained a dead letter on the statute
book. In no single instance has an
attempt been made to enforce it, not
withstanding it has been openly vio
lated in almost every tavern and bar
room in the State. This shows that the
people of Pennsylvania are not pre•
pared to countenance the fanatical ideas
of -New England Puritanism. The truth
is all such legislation has proved to be
utterly abortive whenever tried. It is
vain to attempt to enforce sumptuary
laws in this country. Every such effort
has been a failure, A nd the only result
has been to impair that regard for law
which should be constantly cherished
in the minds and hearts of the people.
There is every reason to believe that
the evils of intemperance have only
been intensified by the unwise attempts
thus made to control it. No respectable
liquor dealer objects to a stringent
license law; but they have a rigut to
feel aggrieved at tin enactment which
brands every man in the business as a
felon. We presume the law will be re
pealed at the coming session of the
Legislature, and we hope a wise and ju
dicious license law may be substituted
in place of the justly obnoxious one
which now stands as a dead letter on
the statute book of the State.
The begklature

Westmoreland counties show that R.

denounces the people of Ohio as 'selfish,'
and says Pennsylvania is "always in

exclaims this madman, and he answers
himself by laying down a programme
for the Jacobins, the principal features
of which are thus expressed : " Im

"Hang out the banner of impartial

The Radical Governor of Ohio Elected by
Negro Totes.
There is no doubt that a very large
number of negro votes were openly cast
for the Radical Governor of Ohio, in
direct violation of the Constitution and
the laws of the State.
The Fayette county Register says :
Twenty-three negro votes were polled in
this town on Tuesday, notwithstanding
the protestations of white men, and we are
glad, we rejoice to say, that through this
NEGRO V OTE, which never before was
polled in this township, the men who were
instrumental in bringing it to the polls,
have been " hoisted with their own petard;"
and the white men of the township have re
buked the advocates of negro. suffrage and
cast their ballots against the amendment
and the men in their midst who advocated
this monstrosity.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, comment
ing on the above, says :
What transpired there, took place all over
the State. Not less than 600 negro votes,
we are assured, were cast in Greene county
alone, in defiance of the law. They were
taken In Cleveland in considerable num
bers, and largely in the Western Reserve.
Some even were taken in Cincinnati. If
General Hayes is elected, he probably owes
it to this fraudulent negro vote. Our Dem
ocratic friends owe it to themselves to ob
tain v list ot' all these negro voters, and if
they amount, in magnitude, to Hayes' ma
jority, the election should be contested, and
the Governor's office given to Judge Thur
man. •
A letter from Xenia to the New Lis
bon Patriot, says :
" I have often heard that full•blooded ue
groes voted here, and I stopped to see if that
wns the case. I have been around the polls
inostall day, and haveseen full-blooded, jet
black, thick-lipped niggers go up and put
their vote in, and not be challenged. I was
told the reason why they were notchalleng
ed was, that it dare not be done. There has
been from two to three hundred niggers
around the polls all day. It was impossi
ble for u white man to get there."
That paper adds:
Frank Johnson, a colored brother, voted
in Salem last Tuesday. Ile is not half
white, and the Trustees who received his
vote ought to know it as well as anybody.
If men of the color of Frank are permitted
to vote, there is no use in the constitutional
amendment. Where Trustees determine
to do wrong, there is no remedy against
them. The good sense of the people must
regulate their conduct, find when they do
what they know is not right, the conse
quences must !allow.
The Mount Vernon Banner has the
following account of the doings in that
city:
Five negroes were taken to the polls in
the Fourth ward in this city, by their Abo
lition friends, on Tuesday, and their votes
there received, in opposition to the earnest
protest of the Democratic challengers. Ne
groes voted in every part of !he State where
their sympathizing whit friends had con
trol of the ballot box.
We make the following extract from
the Stubenville Herald :
It is estimated that at least 3,000 negroes
voted the Radical ticket in Ohio last Tues
day. Their names have been taken down
and returned to the proper authority.
the next Legislature of Ohio, which is con
ceded by all parties will be Democratic,
only does its duty, these negro votes will be
excluded from the total result, by that body
in counting the result for State officers in
the different counties. We have no doubt
but that that body will also pass a law that
will hereafter prevent negroes from voting
in Ohio, they will make the penalty so se•
were to receive negro votes that Judges of
elections, who may have easy consciences,
will not venture hereafter in the experi
ment of receiving negro votes. Three thou
sand negroes voting in Ohio, or any number
of then' doing so, is not only a disgrace to
the officer who received their votes, but
also to the great State, whose purity of the
ballot box these officers were sworn to
protect.
The Cleveland /Nab/dr:a/c/ declares
that :
In the City of Cleveland in the first, sec
ond, third, fourth, and sixth wards full
blooded negrocs voted against the protests
and challenges of Democrats. In fact, no
attention was paid to law, and the votes of
negroes were received with smiles and jests
by the judges. Wn have a Democratic Leg
islature now, and it should pass a stringent
law which will forever prevent a repetition
of such shameful and deliberate outrages
us were perpetrated in this city on Tuesday
last. We intend to refer to' this matter
again, and give -once Picts that will make
the cheeks of some men tingle with shame.
What do the people of Pennsylvania
think of such conduct'."rhe election
for the present year is over, but the in
famous Radicals will lie appealing to
them for their votes a year hence. Let
them remember these things, and not
suffer themselves to be hoodwinked
and blindfolded by any specious proni
ises which will be made on the eve of
the Presidential election.
THE members of the Maryland t-ynod
of the English Lutheran Church called
on Ueu. Grant a day or two ago, and on
one of theta saying, "when we come
to see you again, General, we hope to
find you in a larger and whiter resi
dence than this," he replied, "I have
no deire for any higher position, or
any increase of power or duties."
Many Radicals are eagerly desirous of
capturing General Grant, and making
him the candidate of their party. If
he is wise, he will not permit himself
to be put in any such position. Not
even the name and prestige of Grant
could preserve that party from defeat at
the coming Presidential election. The
campaign will be fought on great prin
ciples, and no man who permits him
self to be made the representative of
the policy of the present corrupt and
fanatical Congress, can hope to be
elected.
BOSTON gossip appears to have settled
it, among themselves at least, that the
separation between Senator Sumner and
his new wife is wider than the ocean
that rolls between them. They say
the case resembles that of Judah P. Ben
jamin, whose wife took early refuge iu
Europe, greatly to the "talk" of New
Orleans, some years ago. That is rather
an ugly joke on Sumner, coming as it
does from a Radical source. A crack
brained fool mentally and an impotent
creature physically is the idOl of the
Yankee Radicals.

While the absence of any excitement
elsewhere than in Philadelphia was the
cause of a very small vote being polled,
nevertheless the reaction was sufficiently
marked to cause a loss to the Radicals of
five Congressional districts now represent
ed by Republicans, and '.to reduce the
majorities in three or four other districts to
mere nominal numbers. It will be observed
that two of the districts gained by the Dem

only fifteen majority andthe other only
one. The following is the vote:

A New York Republican Snubs the Com
The Radicals of New York seem to
be having a hard time of it, and there
is no possibility of their escaping au
inevitable and overwhelming defeat.
The state Central Committee has been
making a levy on all oll9ce•holders for
money, but they do not seem to be
meeting with much success. One J.
F. 'Wilson, of Chautauqua county, re
pudiates their bill, and another, Mr. IV.
F. Bement, of Alleghany, responds to
the levy in the following unmistakable
manner:
I acted with the Republican party in ar-
resting the spread of slavery and e'll'ecting
its entire abolition. I was proud also to
devote my eneruies to carry on the war fur
the Union and Constitution; but the sharp
ing of the government with the illiterate
emancipated biacks, the establishment of a
military despotism over one-third of the
Union, and by arbitrary military power
serrating the government of Slates from
white men and forcing it into the hands of
semi-barbarians, and taxing the laborers
of the North to uphold it in the amount uC
two hundred millions of dollars per year, is
an entertainment to which I had not been
invited. I therefore cannot comply with
your request.
Tax mirjority ofJudge Sharswood is less
than one thousand votes. And yet it is a
fact universally conceded that owing to his
high character as a lawyer and a Man ; to
sterling integrity and ability us a Judge he
received at least live times that number of
Republican votes.—lnquircr.
Here is an admission by one of the
Republican papers of this city that all
the abuse which was heaped upon
Judge Sharswood by the Radicals was
utterly false. They now compliment
him very highly. Let the readers of
such journals remember how they lied
during the recent contest. The Demo
cratic press of the State neither abused
nor misrepresented Judge Willimus,and
they have no occasion to take back a
single word of what they said.
THE Radicals of this State are trying
hard to break the force of their defeat
by claiming that it was entirely owing
to a falling Win Ihrir vific. This stay
ut•hotne dodge Is all old oily with that
party. The opponents of tho Democ
racy have always made It a selpe gout
to bear their short comings. The truth
is the result In this State and Ohio is
owing first to actual changes, and
secondly to a deep sense of dissatisfac
tion which will manifest itself in still
greater changes next year. There Is
ample encouragement for the Democ
racy In this very thing. With the full
vote they can carry both Pennsylvania
and Ohio next. year wore easily than
they did In the recent election.
FOR:s;ENS Prem seems to be utterly
reckless since the recent elections. It
lies with a recklessness surpassing all
its former well-known disregird of the
truth. Speaking of the Maryland elec
tion it says :
There is not a man upon the Democratic
ticket who at any period of the war was
suspected of loyalty.
That base falsehood Is uttered with a
full knowledge that one of the princi
pal nominees for a State office was n
Colonel of a regiment in the Union
army who did gallant service through
out the war.
The Trial of Surratt
A dispatch from Washington says that
"John H. Surratt will be kept in jail till
after Congress meets, when application will
be made for the enactment of a law to
transfer him to some adjoining State for
trial, or to authorize a jury to be drawn
from some loyal State to try him hero, as
it is impossible to obtain an impartial, un
prejudiced jury In Washington."
Of course everybody knows that means
that a jury. is to be packed to convict
him, regardless of the law and the facts
in the case.
THE Democracy of Reading and Har
risburg had grand torchlight processions
and illuminations in those cities on Sat-
urday night. Ali over the State there
have been similar rejoicings oyer our

The Radical Fraud at Fort Delawarel
John W. Geary is either a rascal or an
ass: He can take just whichever horn
of the dilemma suits him best. Either
he deliberately meditated the perpetra
tion of a rascally fraud in regard to the
votes of the United States soldiers at
Fort Delaware, or he can not under
stand the plainest provisions of a law.
The following correspondence will speak
for itself without any further comment
from us:
WAR DEPARTMENT, Oct. 15, 1867.
William L. Hirst, Esq., 211; South Sixth
street, Philadelphia:
In reply to your letter of October 12, re
ceived yesterday, General Grant directs me
to send you the following copy of a telegram
just received from the commanding officer
at Fort Delaware :
FORT DELAWARE, Oct. 14, 1867.
General E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant
I was in Philadelphia when the election
occurred here. Colonel Howard, who was
in command, reports that a citizen pre
sented himself here with a commission
from Governor Geary, under the seal of
Pennsylvania, appointing him to take the
votes of Pennsylvania soldiers at this post.
Colonel Howard told him that he was under
the impression that such an election was
not legal. But as the man had a commis
sion from Governor Geary, he allowed him
to take the votes. I add, on my own au
thority, that I have ascertained that a large
proportion of the men voting had no vote
in the State under any circumstances. It is
said only thirty•three (33) votes were polled,
while over a hundred (100) were returned.
No officers were concerned one way or
other in this election ,

How the Election was Carried in Ala
bama.
The N. V. Herald has full details
from its special correspondent in Ala
bama, in regard to the manner in which
the recent election in Alabama was con
ducted. It says editorially :
" Equal rights" in Alabama evidently
means that tln is to be no room in that
State for white men it' the niggers can keep
it. For this election the niggers were or
ganized by Loyal League machinery. They
came to the polls in military array, every
particular voter being subject to punish
ment at the order of his captain if he should
be guilty of any delinquency. His ticket
was placed in his hand by the captain, and
of course, the greatest delinquency would
have been to have voted any other. And in
this manner the newly made citizens
availed themselves of "a freeman's proud
est privilege." The voter got the ticket
from his captain, the captain had it from
the colonel, and he front the general, mai
the general iu his turn, of course, had it
from the owners and managers in Wash-

ington of the grand plan to secure political
supremacy. No plan ever before devised
for securing majorities can compare with
this in situplicity and certainty.
The Right Kind of a Democrat
A Democrat of Ohio came all the way
from Chili, in South America, to vote
at the recent election. That is the right
kind of a Democrat. He deserves to be
held up as a modfl, and his patriotic zeal
should be imitated by every one of the
sluggards who allowed themselves to be
kept away from the polls at the recent
elections.

Radical, who :s feebly crowing over

was to pardon inn out of the peniten•
tiary, and that the Radicals had much
more need of his services than the
Democrats. The Governor of Ohio has
no veto, and in gaining the Legislature,
the Democracy have gained nearly
every thing worth having in the Bud:-

The Consequence of Ferro Ascendency
In the Routh.
We begin to realize the evils in this coun
try which all other countries have experi
enced where the colored or inferior race
have acquired power. Insurrections, con
flicts between the races, revolutions, and
decline in material prosperity, ending in
the destruction of constitutional government
and the establishment of despotism, aro the
inevitable results of placing the balance of
political power in the hands of the ignorant
masses of an Inferior race. Universal
equality is a fine thing in theory, and
might be practicable if nature had =Wean
the races of mankind equal. But it has not
done so. Physiology, history and all ex
perience show there is great difference in
the intellectual and moral character of the
races, and, consequently, in their capacity
for self government. Yet we are endeavor
ing to form an equality, against the laws of
nature, between the lowest and the highest
types of mankind—between the negro and
the Caucasian races—between a people who
have never shown themselves capable of
government or even of emerging from bar
barism unaided by a civilized people and
the most civilized race. What monstrous
. _
folly ! What an absurd experiment! What
a dangerous policy!
History teaches by example, it is said,
but not to the Radicals of this country, nor
to the Radical revolutionists of any country.
Fanatics are never taught. They have but
one idea. Theory, with them, usurps the
place of reason and ignores the lessons of
experience. The lufortnaton we are receiv-
tug from the South, andparticularly from
our Virginia correspondence, shows that
the negroes are becoming, under the lead of
unprincipled white demagogues, revolu
tionary and brutal. In Eastern Virginia
there was, the other day, a serious mettle,
among the negroes to hold possession of the
lands on which they had squatted. They
trifled themselves to resist tho agents of
the Freedmen's Bureau and the rightful
owners from taking possession of these
lands. At another place, near Norfolk, the
negro squatters refused to evacuate the
property they took unlawful possession of.
Some three hundred of them were
armed for resistance, and one of them,
in a speech to the government agents,
said they did not care a fig whether
the President had pardoned the owner
of the estate or not; that the recon
struction acts of Congress did not recognize
pardons by the President; that this property
was theirs now, and that they were deter
mined to hold on to it iu defiance of all
opposition. lle said "the Indians were
driven off these lands by the whites, and
that they (the blacks) would now take them
from the whites." "We have suffered
enough," he exclaimed ; " now let the white
man suffer The days when the white man
could say, ' Come here, John, and black my
boots,' are passed. The times have changed,
and now the time will come when I can say
to the white man, ' Come here, John, and
black my boots,' and he will have to come."
Receiving frequent applause from his audi
once, he warmed up and declared that " he
would never be satisfied Limit the white
.. .
man be forced to serve the black man, that
the whites must be driven away trout the
lands or must remain as servants, and that
neither secesh nor Yankee should drive
them (the negroes) off the land."
Such is only a specimen of the harangues
itt\
and co ersations of the negroes in this and
other pi is of the South. These ignorant
and deli[ ed people have been excited to the
point of re istance and insurrection by the
teachings of Radical emissaries in I heSouth.
Hunnicutt, who ought to have been arrest
ed for his incendiary language a few days
ago, not only told them to arm, but went
so far as to tell them to take the torch in
their hands. The speech delivered by this
revolutionary incendiary at Richmond on
last Monday night, together with the
speeches of other white and negro orators,
were full of the same sort of mischief.
Truly, these wretched demagogues are tiring
the negro heart, or, rather, the negro pas
sions, for a terrible purpose. Negro supro
inaey is determined on by the radicals, or,
failing in that, the ruin of the South. In
this the Southern radicals are aided and
encouraged by the radical party of the
North. They are resolved to maintain their
political power in the republic through the
ignorant blacks, though the white people of
the North may defeat them at the polls.
Since the late elections they avow their
main reliance to be on this negro balance of
power. Even the Times, the lesser organ
of the radicals in this city, which pretends
to be conservative, declares it as necessary
now to secure this negro balance of power.
Let insurrection come, let a war of races
take place, let the South perish, rather than
lose political power and the spoils of the
trovernment, is the cry of this infamous
party.
Si. Domingo, with all its horrors; Ja
maica, with all its desolation; the South
American republics, with their everlasting
revolutions—all the result of elevating an
interior race to hold the balance of political
power• -afford no instruction to our Radical
revolutionists. They will destroy the coun
try rather than give up an impracticable
theory or the power they hold. This is the
prospect before us, and unless the people
of the North loudly demand the suppres
sion of these modern Jacobins we shall cer
tainly be involved in terrible scenes of
bloodshed, a vast military establishment,
enormous expenses, a deficient Treasury,
and the risk of a military dictatorship.—N.

Talk With the President
The Washington National Republican
gives what purports to be the substance of
a conversation with the President on the
recent elections. The report says:
"The President's attention was called to
an analysis of the recent election in Ohio,
where two great parties presented each its
ticket. The people looked at them both
discriminately, and took the soldier stand
ard bearer (h ayen) of the Republican party
—thus seemingly rebuking the Democrats
for nominating a Vallandigham man like
Thurtmin, instead of a soldier, and accepted
and elebted the Legislature of the Deino•
cratic and Conservative party, and to pre
vent the re•election of u Radical like Mr.
Wade,ithus repudiating the two extremes
n politics, and then, at the same election,
they buried the diwurblng question of
negro equality beneath a majority of 50,000
votes. The President listened to this state
ment, and said:
"'lt is a remarkable fact. It is the logic
of events. It is the true lesson of the elec
tion. And what makes the fact still more
remarkable is that this wonderful discrim
ination was made by the people themselves
at the polls, and that these extraordinary re.
sults were obtained In the face of mlsrepre•
said idiot], that were constantly made In the
pruvi end tip,m I liestunim and furthet more,
that the Government of the State was in the
hands of the Radicals, and the treasure of
their wealthy men was poured out like
water to aid them in currying the State.
Tho people have conquered in spite of theidi
appliances, and have pointed out the right
way for others, disregarding the two dan
gerous extremes, and taking_ the sale, high,
conservative ground as lai ddown in t he
August • Philadelphia Convention of hill
upon the Constitution, for the preservation
of the States, and in favor of pure loyalty
and a united and free country.'''
"The President said that the thousand
and one reports set afloat about what ho
was about to do In reorganizing his Cabinet
avers unauthorized and untrue. Whatever
ho did in that direction would be thenubject
of careful thought and tor the best interests
of the public good so fur as It was in his
power to reach such a result."
