Prepare for the Presidential Cainpainn*
The Inielllgeneer for 1868
On the first of January next, we will
greatly enlarge the WEEKLY INTELLIGEN
cER, 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 Democratic 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, as a special inducement, we now offer
to furnish the WEEKLY INTELLIOENCER
to new subscribers, from this time until Jan
uary Ist, 1009, for two dollars.
We hope every reader of the INTELLIOEN
CEP. will exert himself to increase our sub
scription list. The all important campaign
of 1868 is already open. It will be the 'nest
exciting contest the country has ever wit
!tossed, and the most potent agency to ,be
employed is the Democratic press. It is
the bounden duty of every Democrat to
help us fight this great battle Let every
ono of our readers do his utmost to increase
our circulation.
Tim Chaplain's work In the coming
session of the Senate will be performed
alternately by Parson Brownlow and
old Ben Wade.
Jr is authoritatively asserted that B.
F. Wade has no intention of retiring
from public life. If he can't be Senator
he is willing to be a driver on a city
car, a calling for which he is well fitted.
THE Radicals have been put on trial
for the many crimes of which they
have been guilty during the past six
years, and the verdict of the people has'
been guilty—gall/Lb
TIIE Virginia papers should publish
a short biographical sketch of each of
the Radical delegates to the State Con
vention. The lives of these -12 whites
and '25 negroes would be read with in
terest.
Til E Democratic majority ut the re
cent Judicial election in Califor
nia is ascertained to be over 3,000.
That is enough. The vote polled was
light. Had it been heavier the majority
would have been proportionably greater.
THE Radical journals, which are pub
lishing so many stories about the absurd
and improper conduct of Mrs. Lincoln
during her husband's lifethne, are doing
their best to prove that Mr. Lincoln was
either a knave or a fool to allow such
things.
THE Radical Chicago Tribune sets
down the ten Southern States as certain
to cast 213,00 majority for Grant next
year. Good Lord, is the nigger vote the
only cure thing the Rads have to go
into the Presidential contest With ?
What. a whittling down of a big party !
Jolt's Ali Nou Bon's has come to grief.
He was beaten 69 votes at the recent
election. IL is said only one native
while Virginian voted for the man who
prided himself on being the intimate
personal friend of Henry Clay. John
Al. will have to devote himself the more
assiduously lo the horse business.
"MANY men of loose ideas," says the
J'rc.ss " and weak hewls, when they get
into debt propose to extricate them
selves by giving a note, and when that
note is due they feel happy In giving
another." Surely Forney is not disloyal
enough to allude to Chase and Secretary
McCullough, for that is what these
worthies have been doing all the lime.
IN the nourishing town of Charles
town, West Virginia, only fifteen votes
were cast at the recent election. Before
the war over live hundred- votes were
polled there. Now only twenty•three
voters are registered, and of that num
ber only fifteen voted. What a cot,
inentary that is on Republican institu
tions.
A It Amt.Ai. (;ennui paper in St.
Louis concludes that since slavery is
abolished there is no longer any identity
of interest between the Germans and
the Radical party. So it proposes a
general transfer of their voles to the
Democratic party. Let thew come.
They will he just in time to swell the
sweeping majority by which we will
elect, the next President.
IT is decidedly refreshing to hear Re
publican papers talk about intelligence
when the only adherents their party has
in ten Stales of the Union are a set of
barbarian negroes, many of whom have
not intelligence enough to give in their
mains Intelligibly when they go to
vole. Let us hear no inure talk about
the superior intelligence of the Repub
lican party.
THE New Yorkers who are employed
as Clerks at Washington have made ar
rangemenla to go home awl vote next
Tuesday. quitem number of them are
acid to have voted at the municipal
election in Washington City, and now
propose to go home and vote again.
These ltiolical olllce-Holders seem to
believe in voting often, it' not in voting
early.
rni;vlinAL more citizens of Richmond
have been ordered to leave Richmond
for speaking disrespectfully of the grea
Hunnicutt. He has an armed guard of
negroes stationed In front of his office,
and they prevent any white man from
passing on the side walk. in the mean
time (funeral Schofield Is looking after
his/clrdices of election to the United
States Senate. Surely this Is the very
milenniu in day for negroes, and white
demagogues of the baser sort,
TIIE Philadelphia Daily Noah+ Hayti
we are credibly informed that in a eel ,
Lain educational Institution, under the
Peculiar guard inn ship ot' this city, the
gentleman in control cuts down the ap
pie trees and outs the blossoms from the
grape vines on the grounds of the lost i
tution over whlolt he presides, lu order
to prevent the pupils under his charge
from eommltting the sin of stealing
fruit. If the Creator had thought of
this He might have prevented the fall
of man.
Tip x newspapers, and especially those
of the Radical persuasion, continue to
.publish stories going to show that du•
ring Mr. Lincoln's Presidency the
While House was a sort of broker's
Shop, for the selling of fat contracts anti
other favors. Mrs. Lincoln presided
over the business, and her profits were
certainly considerable. It is not possible
that Honest Abe could have been iguo

have known all about it. The Radical
journals, which are abusing his widow,
are covering the name of the Martyred
President with shame andobloguywhich
will never be washed out. History will
deal harshly with these late develope
meats.

Alarmed at Their,Saccess and Ashamed.
of Their Victories.
' The newspapers of the Repulican
party do not rejoice over their victories
in the Southern States. We have yet
to hear the first loud note of exultation
over the result in Virginia. The truth
is the Radicals are alarmed and dis
gusted at their triumph. They shake
with illy concealed terror as they con-.
template the work of their barbarian
allies. They feel and know that such
an unnatural condition of affairs can
not continue to exist under a republi
can form of government. With the
most reckless desperation they resolved
to perpetuate the power they have so
shamefully misused, by committing the
destinies of ten States of this Union into
the hands of barbarian negroes and such
white men as they supposed would vote
witb.them. No doubt they expected a
considerable minority of whites would
give respectability to this movement.
Their calculations in that respect have
been utterly at fault. To the honor of
their manhood be it spoken, the whites
of the South have stood up as a body
for their constitutional rights, and have
united as one man to preserve the honor
and the dignity of their race. The
negroes have crowded to the polls, and
the scenes there witnessed have covered
the Radical instigators with shame and
confusion.
We think it is perfectly safe to say
that a large majority of those who have
habitually voted the Republican ticket
in Pennsylvania, are filled With disgust
as they read the accounts of the Vir
ginia and Georgia elections. They can ,
not help being ashamed of the party
with which they have acted. They
have sense enough to see that there is
nothing but danger and disgrace to be
expected from such proceedings. They
cannot help knowing and feeling that
the States which are thus subjected
to the rule of the most Ignorant and de
graded specimens of an inferior race,
must be a dangerous element in the
Republic. It needs no argument to
show, no array of facts to demonstrate,
even to the most thoughtless, that the
political and material interests of the
entire nation are being imperiled by the
mad course of the fanatics in Congress.
No one Slate can be stricken without
the wound being felt by all. Ten States
of this Union cannot be given over to
the rule of barbarian negroes and the
rest remain free and prosperous.' As
well might we expect the human body
to continue in health and vigor with an
arm crushed or a leg paralized.
Every great interest of the nation
must inevitably suffer so long as this
state of affairs is permitted to continue.
Our trade will languish ; our manufac
turers will find no market for their pro
ducts; our commerce will continue to
shrink into still narrower limits; the
balance of trade will be largely against
us; one half, the richest and most pro
ductive half of the country will lie
waste; the burthen of taxation will
press with ever increasing force upon
the toiling masses of the North; and
the South will be a prey to the wildest
anarchy, while negro barbarians and a
few mean, low-lived, selfish and incen
diary white men repeat the wild scenes
of the French Revolution, or engage in
a second St. Domingo massacre.
It is not strange the Radicals fail to
rejoice over their recent victories. It is
no wonder the result of the elections iu
the Southern States fills them with
alarm rather than exultation. They
know there is danger in the course they
are pursuing. They feel that an ava
lanche of horrors hangsover head,which
may speedily be pier iyltated by the
policy they have inaugurated. It Is not
to be wondered at that their tongues are
tied by terror, while their cheeks crim
son with blushes of shame. Over such
victories, so won, no white mall with
sense enough to east an intelligent vote
could, or would rejoice.
►What Thaddeus Stet ens Thinks
In another column we publish all that
is material of a very lengthy communi
cation from Thaddeus Stevens. The N.
Y. Tribune, and other pa_ ers, announce
that publicity is given to this document
at the present time because Mr. Stevens
doubts whether he will ever be aide to
he heard again on the floor of Congress.
The document is published in full in the
Philadelphia Prcss, and is said to have
been reported exclusively for that paper
and Forney's other daily, the Washing
ton Chrunick.
Mr. Stevens, in the first part of his let
ter, lays down the sweeping proposii ion
that the ainendinen I to the Constitution
of the United States, recently passed by
Congress, gives that body full LIU wee to
regulate the right of franchise in every
State. Front th.at, stand point, of course,
It is easy for him to argue, us he does,
that Congre,,s should at once pass laws
enforcing the right which he claims for
the negro to vole at all elections, and to
be placed at once on a perfect equality
with the white race in all respects.
No one who reads this letter of Mr.
Stevens can fail to comprehend clearly
the designs and purposes of the party
by which he is regarded as the leader.
The question is one on which thepeople
of the Northern States have been loud
ly expressing their opinions in the re
cent elections. The result of these may
cause some attempts at dissimulation on
the part of certain politicians in the Re
publican party; but they will seek in
vain to dodge the issue to which they
are so irrevocably committed by the sys
tear which they have inaugurated in the
Southern States, One of two things
they must do. Either they must ac
cept the doctrines advanced by Mr. Sle
yens, or they most abandon thelrscheme
of reconstruction and allow the white
men of the South the same liberty to
regulate the elective franchise which Is
concer,led to them In Pennsylvania and
other Northern States. They can take
just which horn of the dilemma. they
choose. Either will be fatal to them.
We hope all our readers will carefully
peruse this the latest production of Mr.
Stevens. It contains the doctrines of
the Republican pally boldly and clear
ly stated
Hunnicutt and Brownloiv.
These individuals are the two best
representatives Or their play—the ne
groes. Brownlow Is already hooked for

Ashley, of 01110 ; Nye, of Nevada;
Chandler, of Michigan, and ]Colley, of
Pennsylvania? Certainly, for these are
the most puissant champions of the new
dispensation at the South.
The Georgia Election
The Georgia election is still progres
sing, Satrap Pope having ordered the
polls to be kept open until Saturday
night. In very many cities, towns
and counties not a single white vote
was cast; in none of them more than
from one to twenty-five. The figures
as reported tell their own story. The
people of the North are looking on at
this spectacle, and a vast majority of
them are disgusted at the performance.
The Virginia Election.
The official vote of the State cast is a
follows: Whites, 75 924; colored, 93,-
656. For a Convention, 14,835 whites,
92,507 colored. Against a ,Conveution,
01,249 ; 638 colored.

. The CaußeAtihe,rollilcal Reaction.
All_ the elections which have taken
place this year have pointed in one di
rection. They have all, without excep
tion, foreshadowed the downfall of the
Republican party. In the North there
has been the most wonderful exhibition
of a complete revolution in public sen
timent.
When the war closed the Republican
party claimed all the credit of the vic
tories which had been won. They un
generously ignored the vast mass of
Democratic soldiers whose brains and
muscle had contributed so largely to the
result; and being in power were able to
bolster up their pretentious claims with
some show of plausibility. They ap
pealed to the people, and urged that it
would be exceedingly appropriate for
them to allow the party which had
been in power during the war to perfect
the terms of peace. To this the masses
seemed to assent. They were anxious
for a speedy restoration of the Union,
and desirous of a perfectand permanent
peace.
They watched and waited for the
promised result. It came not. With
each succeeding month the affairs of
the nation only grew more complicated.
Trade was prostrated; our commerce
was almost destroyed ; in spite of the
most enormous tariff duties our manu
factures languished; the industry of
the South was almost annihilated; the
great staples no longer crowded our
marts, and our best customers were
dead broke and unable to buy.
In the midst of this general distress,
the masses began to inquire into the
causes which produced such results.
They found the Republican party im
peding a restoration of the Union, and
delaying the return of peace ; while its
leaders in Congress were devoting all
their time to perfecting a scheme whiCh
would ensure a continuance of their
power by putting ten States of the
Union completely under the domina
tion of ten millions of barbarian ne
groes, just freed from the shackles of
slavery.
So soon as the masses of the North
began clearly to see what were the real
designs of the party in power, they be
gan to desert its ranks. Thousands who
had always promptly voted its ticket,
absented themselves from the polls,
while many squarely and openly voted
for the nominees of the Democratic
party. The result was first seen in
Connecticut, and the great reaction
there begun has swept over the entire
North, with a rising tide of tremen
dous and unabated force.
The losses of the Republican party
have been enortnous. The presentmonth
promises to be still more disastrous
to it even than the one which has just
passed. There is scarcely a doubt about
what will be the result in New York.
It will follow the lead of Pennsylvania,
as it has almost invariably done hereto
fore. With that great State lost to them,
the Radical leaders of the Republican
party will have nothing left on which
to depend in the coming Presidential
contest, except a fragment of New Eng
land, possibly one or two of the extreme
Northwestern States, and the votes of
the ignorant and degraded negroes of
the South.
\Ve care not who may be the candi
date of the party. Even the name and
prestige of General Grant would fail to
save it in such a struggle as that upon
which we are now entering. The issues
are too plain to be misunderstood by the
masses. They cannot be Induced to vote
for a continuance of the insane and
utterly ruinous policy of Congress. The
passions excited by the war have cooled
down; the animosities engendered by
that struggle have subsided; the time
has gone by when elections can be car
ried by a hitter outcry against the white
men of the South. They are our breth
ren. \Ve are bound to them by a myriad
of sacred ties of common kindred and
commingling blood. We fought them
and whipped them fairly. We com
pelled them to return to the Union, and
o consent to live under the old ilag.—
rhey say they are ready and willing to
do so. They Inive shown that they are
by the most indubitable and unmis
takable evidences. That is all we ask
of them; all any white man with a
spark of manhood in his bosom could
or would demand of them.
We will not undertake to sustain a
few desperate Radicals in the effort to
subject the white men and women of
ten entire States of this Union to the
domination of ignorant and degraded
negroes. Ohio, whichso gallantly stands
up for the supremacy of the white race
in her borders, will never vote to es
tablish negro supremacy In the South.
The Republican party, being irretrieva
bly committed to that most infamous
design, must necessiarily be completely
annihilated in the coining Presidential
contest. Its doom is sealed by the recent
elections. And It is certain that the
elections in Virginia, and other South
ern States, will only be found to render
more certain the inevitable result.—
The spectacles thus presented will not
be speedily forgotten by the people of
the North. They will thunder out their
disapproval of such mockery of elections
in tones which will convince all the
world that the white men of the United
States are still tit to be trusted with the
conduct of a Republican form of gov
ernment. The very schemes on which
the Radical fanatics rely for success,
will only render their defeat more cer
tain and more complete,
How Any Rebel May Become a Loya
The E,i - p,'cse publishes with especial
marks 01 approval extracts from a
speech, recently delivered at Raleigh,
by W. W. Holden, of North Carolina.
It does not remind its readers that this
Holden Is the self-same boasting South
erner who startled the whole country, by
announcing In the Democratic Conven
tion at Charleston that he was then
working on his plantation negro slaves
imported direct from Africa, In viola
tion of the laws or this land and of the
whole civilized world. It does not
seem to remember that he It was who
urged the re-opening of the African
slave trade. Holden was an original
secessionist but is now ready to subject
the whites of North Carolina to negro
domination ; and of course he at once
becomes a loyal hero,
It Jeff. Davis should assume a similar
position to-morrow, and would settle In
Lancaster county, we verily believe he
would be the most formidable rival for
Thad. Stevens' seat in Congress. All
that is necessary to constitute the bitter•
est rebel an idol for the worship of the
whole Radical fraternity is for him to
turn his back on his own race and take
to extravagant laudation of the negro.
We used to hear of political whitewash .
lug, but since black has become the
loyal color, the operation has reversed.
The nearer any candidate for public
favor brings himself to the level and
complexion of the negro the more en•
thusiasticaily he is supported by the
leaders of the Republican party.
THERE is no abatement of the ex
citement and alarm which prevails in
Richmond. The incendiary Hunnicutt
made a speech to the negroes the other
night, in which he advised them to
apply the torch to the house of any
white man who discharged a negro for
voting the Radical ticket. More of the
whites have been ordered to leave the
city for speaking disrespectfully of Hun
nicutt, on penalty of death if they
§hould disregard the warning.
The Dethronement of King Cotton.
Prior to the war we had a monopoly
in cotton growing. The South furnish
ed thematerial which clothed the world.
England had tried in 'vain to stimulate
the production of cotton in her East
India possessions and elsewhere. All
her efforts to compete with us. were
completely abortive, until by blockad
ing the Suuthern ports of oar own
country, we compelled the world to
look elsewhere for its supply of an in
despensible article. Under the spur of
high prices, the rich fields of India and
-Egypt were successfully put under cul
tivation. When the war ceased, they
were yielding largely, but even then we
might have regained our ascendency
had we acted wisely. Under proper
fostering care the industry of the South
might have been speedily revived, and
to-day we might have rejoiced in the
recovery of much of what we had lost.
The insane policy of the Radicals in
Congress prevented that. They turned
the attention of the negroes to politics,
rendered them lazy by the lavish alms
of the Freedmen's Bureau, and placed
insurmountable barriers in the way of
establishing a new industrial system on
the ruins of the one which had been de
stroyed. The result is the cotton crop
of the South for this year is scarcely
one-third what it was in 1860, and what
has been raised has been produced at a
cost which renders its culture unprofl.
table.
Before the war our vast cotton exports
kept the balance of trade from being
largely against us. Now the want of it
is most grievously felt. Much of the
depression in trade, and a great part of
the diminution in our commerce, can
-be traced directly to this source. The
balance of trade is now overwhelming
ly against us, and we have no means of
making up the deficiency except by the
exportation of specie. Is it strange,
then, that gold rules high, and that
the prices of all products are kept at a
proportionate rate?
If the people of the North will not
study purely political questions, we are
sure they will be eventually forced to
give attention to such as are intimately
connected with the material interests of
the country. They will yet be taught
by harsh experience how completely
ruinous are the schemes Of the,Radi
cals. The time will come when we
will gladly leave the Southern States to
adjust their industry pursuits to the new
f
order of affairs ; and whe , instead of
encouraging the negroes in heir absurd
ideas of political and social quality, we
will gladly leave them to e employed
at fair wages by the owners of the soil,
thus adding vastly to the bulk of our
material products.
Never was their such an exhibition
of absurd folly as this country has wit
nessed since the conclusion of the war.
Congress has acted as if its members
desired to annihilate the industry of
the most productive half of our territory,
and it has pretty effectually succeeded
in doing it There are multitudes of
people in the North who refuse to listen
to the political truth. They will have
to be taught wisdom by sharp appeals
to their pockets. We have dethroned
King Cotton, but he has dragged our
trade and commerce down with him.
Dying Fancies
One of two things is certain. Either
Thaddeus Stevens is as much enfeebled
in mind as he is in body, or what he
said to Mr. Pfeiffer has been horribly
mangled. There are unmistakable In
dications of weakness and decay in this
last production of the "Old Commoner."
'Puke the following samples from the
conclusion :
"IPe must remember that most of us are
separated from the dread tribunal occupied
by a Judge who cannot be deceived by the
narrowest isthmus that ever divided time
I rout eternity."
Here is another specimen of rhetoric
which takes our breath as we read it.
Speaking of the extent of this country
he says :
Traverse her twenty thousand roles from
the Russian posessions around the Isthmus
ut Darien, up the gulf stream to the bold
shores ut the Granite State, which the
Islands of the Gulf, soon, I hope and be
lieve, will be added to this mighty nation,
to which they naturally belong; thence up
to where the Esquitnaux roam, and where
we have lately employed the protection of
the mighty walrus, on the strait which Ito
hostile lout will ever attempt to tread,
around to where the herring, the codfish
and whale are seeking to find a permanent.
refuge.
We shall repose with perfect confi
dence under "the protection of the
mighty walrus," but we sincerely hope
the herring, the codfish and the whale
may not succeed in finding a perma
nent refuge. \Vhut would become of
the Yankees lu such a case? Think of
their beim.; deprived of their codlioh
diet? These flights must be the dying
fancies of Old Thud.
Impeachment
The Radicals who think of suspend
ing the President from office, pending
the impeachment trial about which they
talk so much, should study " Madison's
Debates In the Federal Constitution."
There they will ilnd the following:
"FRIDAY, Sept. 11, 1757.
"In Convention
"Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Gouverneur Mor

The Radical Design In Maryland
The Radicals have not given over
their mad scheme of revolutionizing
the Government of Maryland. In spite
of the overwhelming popular vote
against them they are determined to
persist in their designs. The following
circular, which has been largely dis
ributed among their followers in the
State, shown the revolutionary spirit of
the party. It says:
"We (n.twat urge upon you too strongly
the impornmoo of bringing out our whole
strength at the election In November,
" The rebels are making use of the ma
chinery prepared lo their Infamous eonstl•
lotion to pot down the caumeol equal rights,
but they will fall; Congress will give to
litryllind a Republican form of govern
i/.IrOIT Lilo first day of Marsh next,
and Judge Bond will as certainly he (tor
ernor of the State by the nrst day of May as
that the sun rises on that day and lie lives

"The rebellion will be put down in Mary•
land as It hits been in the -South, and In or
der to aid In it as much its possible it is
necessary that the largest vole possible be
given Ihr the Stale ticket, in order to show
Congress that equal rights and equal justice
would givens a large majority in the Slate.
'I he committee of Congress, now in session,
is convinced already that this is true, but
a failure on our part to demonstrate It might
endanger the cause.
" Let nothing, therefore, bel left undone,
and the victory will be ours,
THE Radical Congressional Commit
tee who have been inquiring whether
Maryland has a Republican form of
government, have made but little head
way in that matter. But they have
been convinced that Baltimore City
had a Republican Mayordurihg the war.
It was clearly proven before the Com
mittee that Mayor Chapman bad been
guilty of practices usual with Republi
can officials, and that the City Treasury
had suffered largely in consequence.
We do not suppose that part of the testi
mony will appear in the published re
port. It will most likely be smothered.
.t.The Downfail.of ithencan Liberty.
It is now abOut eighty years since the
Constitution of the United States was
Adopted, and in the formation of that
instrument the greatest men of the
country were engaged. They were pure
patriots, they were experienced states
men, and they were learnedmen. They
examined all forms of government, they
studied the history of other lands, and
framed a system of self-government,
resting upon the intelligence and virtue
of the people, which has made us ereat.
The corner stone of this system of gov
ernment has been the virtue of the peo
ple, the selection by -them of compe
tent officials, and their thorough obe
dience to laws which operated equally
and fairly upon all. Tue system seem
ed destined to last forever. Yet six years
of power given to the Radical party
have made our liberty a by-word and a
reproach. To say nothing of the shocks
sustained during the war, we see today
an effort by the party which controls
our Congress to reorganize ten States
upon a basis which is, in every respect,
the reverse of that which the wisdom of
our forefathers found to be the safest
and best. The purest and best of the
Southern citizens are disfranchised,
and every efibrt is made to throw
all the poWer into the hands, not of the
white race, instructed and able to gov
ern, but into the hands of the African
race, whose grandfathers, in many in
stances, were imported slaves. Robert
E. Lee cannot vote; his former slave
can. While Light Horse Harry was
routing the British, the grandfather of
the slave may have been bending the
knee to his fetish, or practicing the
dark rites of Obi in some African jungle.
It has been charged that slavery de
graded the negro, made him brutish
and lowered his humanity. Yet set him
free and he becomes the statesman, ca
pable of ruling the great American na
tion. Our race has learnt self-govern
ment by many a hard and bitter lesson.

land, by the overthrow of the Stuarts,
by our own Revolution and the late ter
rible Rebellion, has the white race
learned how to govern itself. Look at
our Constitution and read English his•
tory, and it will be seen that every pro
vision, for the security of the individual,
has been bought with the blood of pure
and patriotic nieu.
Where does this abject race, so broken
down by slavery, learn the art of gov
ernment? France cannot govern her
self! Spain grovels under a despotism !
Russia is under au autocrat—even in
Germany, the 1.1u,d of learning, music
and poetry, the people have not achieved
self-government; but here the African,
once emancipated, stands forth a states-
Into the hands of such men are en
trusted the destinies of these States. In
Virginia Hunnicutt and Underwood,
represent Richmond, and they are men
who could not be elected Constables in
a Northern city. A slave, live times
convicted di larceny, represents another
county. Yet these men will make the
Constitution of Virginia. These men
can enfranchise and disfranchise whom
they please—they can parcel out all the
'land in the State, and, in the name of
liberty, commit any crime they please.
Two merchants of Richmond are warn
ed to leave the city, because they des
pise Hunnicutt. A white man is ar
rested near Charleston, by a vigilance
committee of negroes. The military in
terfere and he is safe. No wonder the
Southern people prefer even the five
Satraps, and take no interest In the
elections, for when the military are re
moved and the new Constitutions are
in force, with Underwoods, Brownlows,
Hunnicutts and other black and white
men of debased character at the head
of Miltirs, no decent white man will be
safe from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande.
The great issue of to-day and of the
Presidential election, will be the en
dorsement of these things. If they are
endorsed, then, indeed, is American
liberty dead. If ten States are to be
Africanized, merely that the Negroes
may vote the Radical ticket, though
the States themselves relapse into bar
barism, then, indeed, may we despair.
But we wait for the verdict with in
creased confidence. The elections this
fall have shown u reaction against the
twin brothers, Radicalism and Treason,
and we pray to God that 1808 mayprove
their eternal Waterloo.
Thanks to the Soldiers
The great victories over Radicalism
which have been won In this State and
elsewhere at the recent elections have
been largely owing to the intelligent
votes of the soldiers. , The "boys in
blue " fought to restore the Union.—
They did not expose their lives to es
tablish a negro empire on the ruins of
the ten States they fought to save from
secession. They are as manly as they
are brave, and very few of them could
be induced toaid in subjecting the white
men and women of the South to the de.
grading domination of barbarian ne
groes just released from slavery. All
the frantic appeals of the Radicals to
the soldiers were unheeded. They
were bound to vote as they shot—for a
union of States to be ruled by white
men.

THERE is some talk of mortgaging
three of the Sandwich Islands to the
Milted Sluice, for the purpose of se
curing to this country a coaling station
and harbor In the 'Pacific. Tide mort
gage, if It should be effected, will prob
ably result In the annexation of the
whole Sandwich Island group to the
United States. There is not enough
territory nor population to make up and
maintain a separate and independent
sovereignty in those Islands, so the end
of them will be to fall into the hands
of some other nation, and if the United
States do not take them France or Eng
land will. In this alternative it will be
best for the United States to annex them
politically to this country.
SIDNEY SMITH used to say that he
never knew a man who refused to angle,
because he could not bear to hook a
worm, that did not whip his wife, and
these sentimental beings are generally
the most insensible to all kindness and
humanity. Lawrence Sterne could
shed tearsover an ass, while he ieliber
ately broke his wife's heart. The Radi r
eels of the North have shown them
selves to be possessed of that same spirit.
They expend an immense amount of
sympathy on the negro, while diligently
cultivating a spirit of hatred toward
the whites of the South.
The Germane and-thenDeMeeratleTSKY.
We give the following article from
the Anzeiger des Western*, of St. Louis,
a conspicuous place in our columns. It
shows how the whole vast German ele
ment of the great Northwest are
moving :
Tip to the Presidential campaign of 1856,
nine tenths of all our fellow-citizens of
German descent belonged to the Democratic
party. They looked at that party as the only
progressive party in the country, as the
representative of the principles of popular
government iu the interim, and of a policy
which commanded respect for our country
abroad. The Whigs and their successors,
the Know Nothings, bad made ita standing
reproach to all adopted citizens that they
were sedu' ed by the mere name of Democ
racy; that they, in a mass, voted with the
Democratic r arty without understanding
the true tendencies of parties at all, thereby
turning the scales in many important
elections against the Whig candidates for
the Presidency. No rer:roach could have
less foundation than this. The accessions of
the Germans to the Democratic party was
the result of a perfectly correct estimation
of the tendencies of the various parties with
the educated among them, and of sound
instinct with the masses of the immigrants.
From the time of Thomas Jefferson down
to a very advanced epoch of this country,
the Democratic party was, in fact, what its
name indicated, to wit, the representative of ,
the principle of popular government, and
the promulgator ()fall progressive measures.
From its commencement we pursued a
liberal policy towards the immigrant, creat
ing no; only our tolerant system of natural
ization, but defending it afterwards against
the attacks of the Federalists and Natives.
The extension of the right of suffrage to all
the whites 01 age, which, at the time of the
acceptance of the Federal Constitution, was
still limited in many respects, was the work
of the Democratic party. Its leading prin
ciple was confidence in the capacity of the
people for self-government, whilst the lead
ing principle of the opposition was distrust
against the people, and doubts in the sue
cess of that "experiment." On the question
of the acquisition of new Territorie•t, that
difference of opinion appeared in all its
keenness. The Democrats, trusting to the
vitality of their principles, always ad vo
rated territorial aggrandizement, proving
by the result that a Confederacy of the
States, reaching from one ocean to the other,
could slice. ssfully be established under the
Constitution created in 1787. True to their
principle, the greatest good for the greatest
number, the Democrats were the warm ene
mies of all monopolies, defending the prin
ciple of free trade against the protectionists,
the hard money system against the paper
currency swindlers, the mass of the people
against the ascendency of corporations, and
the individuals against the unjustifiable
and pernicious encroachments of the State
and Federal power. The Democracy favored
a strong people, and not a strong govern
ment, and it always opposed centralization
and the mania for rule in everything. To
enter such a political combination the Ger
mans did not need to force themse; iis in
any way ; they only had to develop their
native instincts politically, and their posi
Lion in the ranks of the Democratic party
was naturally their own.
It would loud us altogether too far away
front our objects to write the history of the
defection of great, it not the greatest part of
the Germans from the Demecratic party.
For our present purpose it Is sufficient to
state that it resulted exclusively from their
views on the slavery question. Moro mid
more the Democracy bad indentiffed Itself
with the experiment of extending slavery
over our Territories, partly in consequence
of a pernicious weakness in respect to the
Southern wing of the party, partly in con•
sequence of conscentious but unfounded
scruples regarding the power of Congress
in th.• Territories, partly by fear of exces•
sive measures threatened by the ultras.
The consequence of that policy was the
hurtful legislation about the Kansas Terri
tory, the formation of the Republican party,
secession and civil war, which terminated
the original a ilia between the two sec
tions of the col. try.
It was the sla :ery question which pushed
the Germans into the ranks of the Repub
licans. 'There never existed any other po
litical tie between that party and the Ger
mans. Well, the slavery question is decided
for ever; decided by the verdict of a four
years' civil war, and formally decided by
an amendinent to the Constitution. No
reasonable man in the country desires the
re-introduction of slavery, nobody holds it
oven to be possible. The universal human
rights of the colored rice are acknowledged,
and ifsome other measures or constitutional
enactments should be required for that pur
pose, they certainly will not be opposed by
the people. The negro is free, he is pro
tected by the laws ; ho can acquire property
and do business just as the WiJito 0100 can.
There Is only one civil and criminal code
for both, and the few exceptional measures,
equally existing South and North, for in
stance, in regard to the admission of the
colored people into our public schools, are
only temporary and not of a sufficient sig
nificance to serve as the basis for the crea
tion of national parties. In fact, of the
whole negro difficulty, nothing remains ex•
cent the question, Whether or not the
negroes in their present state of culture are
quid laud to participate In the government
of this country, to exercise the right of suf
frage, and to hold public offices.
This is a question differing altogether
and in every respect front the question of
the propriety of their emancipation. The
abolition of slavery was one thing; die
participation of a semi barbarous nice—
naturally inferior to our own, deficient in
culture find education, and barely freed
from the bonds of slavery—in the govern
ment of this country, and their exclusive
rule over one-thii d of the States in this
Union, Is a question of an entirely different
character. We have not the least doubt
that an immense majority of the Germans
are opposed to the uneouditional. right of
suffrage to be given to the negroes. At all
events, ft is certain that only a very imper
ceptible fraction of the Germans would, for
the sake of the success of the negro-suffrage
programme, take into the bargain all the
other follies and crimes of that party, which
they entered exclusively for the purpose of
abolishing slavery and preserving the
Union
As far as it could be done by the force of
arms, the 'Union is restored. Slavery is
abolished forever. The question therefore
raises itself very naturally, whether there
is any other principle and any other inter
est which could retain the Germans in the
Republican or Radical party. Wu are con
vinced that there does not exist tiny further
community between the present tendencies
01 the Radical party and the Germans; that
their connection therefore is unnatural and
pernicious, and that the only correct policy
after the solution or the slavery question
Iles in the return of the Germans to the
l),mocratic part V.
This view of the case is fully endorsed
by prominent ocm:ens in Illinois, Min
nesota, Michigan, Ohio, and, Indeed, in
all the States. They all aver their op
position to slavery, but, at the same
time, protest against negro suffrage and
equality, and declare they will not ac
cept it or act with a party which wishes
to make the negro their equal at the
ballot-box and iu the halls of legislation,
The Illinois Slants Zeitung Is very plain
and emphatic in Its repudiation of the
whole negro scheme of the Radical
leaders. It,says :
Never will the people permit themselves
In be forcibly dragged to the standpoint of
the Phi I I pins and Stuvensem, and
if those gentlemen should insist on making
the negro quest 100 the principal plank of
their platform in ISGS, even General Grant
would not be strong enough Co curry the
thus disorganized Republican party to vic•
tory.
In thus declaring against the Radical
party, the Germans fix the status of the
Western States for the Presidential con
test. They must carry him for the race;
and thus weighted, their defeat Is cer
tain.

The click of the telegraph tells us that five
hundred miles of this magnificent work are
now completed, and that the whistle of the
locomotive can be heard on the Rocky
Mountains. Their very base, at Cheyenne,
is but seventeen miles further, and in an
other week, the track will be at this em
bryo city on the western boundary of the
great plains. It is but thirty-one miles
more to the highest summit of the line be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and
to this point, the roadbed is nearly ready
for the rails. It may be quite possible for
you, reader, to travel by a first-class car ell
the way, and eat your Christmas dinner
among the peaks of the Black Hills, eight
thousand feet above tide water. A thou
sand laborers are on their western slopes
and other thousands are joining them. All
winter long, the gorges and defiles of these
grand old mountains will resound with the
miner's blast and the crash of the tumbling
rocks, as they are thrown out of their beds,
where they have laid since the world began.
Ten thousand Chinamen, under American
engineers, have already dug and pounded
their way over and through thogreat Sierra
Nevadas of California, and are rapidly
pushing forward to meet the great army of
builders from the east, and we are told that
in 1870, the traveler may seo the sun rise
out of the Atlantic on Monday morning,
and set in the golden glories of the Pacific
on Saturday night.
The locomotive is coming! Clear the track,
Messrs. "Hole -in-the-day," "Cryinu Wolf,"
"Dancing Grizzly," "Jump-off a log,"
" Spotted-tail," " White-man-kilter,'' and
all your ragged race. It is your manifest
destiny to stop scalping white folks, and
you must either be absorbed by the new
tide of civilization or be drowned in it.
Messrs. Antelope, Buffalo and Beaver, you
have been very useful animals in your
way, and have done the world service in
your day; but really now—we quite regret
it—but we must have a few mote faring
out there in your direction, and will trouble
you to move on, or off, as you find it most
convenient. The logic of events is not to
be resisted; the race of barbarism is draw
ing to an end; the world moves, and the
people thereof—and generally westward.
But really, the public have known very
little of the gigantic proportions of [ids Pa
cific Railroad. To build it eighteen hun
dred miles through a wilderness, and over
the highest mountains on the North Amer
ican Continent, was something, the like of
which had never been attempted. The
Appian Way of Rome was nothing to it,
and modern engineering furnished no pre
cedents fur it. The certain profits of the
immense business between the two grand
divisions of the continent were a great prize
to capitalists; but no Company could be
formed that would dare venture more than
a hundred millions of money to secure It.
But necessary as the road was to individu
als and to commerce generally, the people
as a government—as a nation—needed it
more. Tho United States Treasury was
annually taxed to an immense amount to
pay for transporting troops and supplies
to its mountain forts, to keep the peace
among Indian tribes, that nothing but ad
vancing civilization could keep perma
nently quiet. The Pacific States and Ter
ritories were so isolated that uneasy spirits
already discussed anew plan of disunion
in a future Pacific Empire. The govern
meat lands of a vast region were worthless,
because they could not be reached ; and
only the richest pockets of the great, gold
field were opened, because of the impossibil
ity of profitable transit. And here, Congress
acted wisely Intending the Pacific Railroad
Companies fifty millions in its six per cent.
bonds, apportioned out as the work pro
gresses, to secure the speedy construction
of the line, for they mom than pay the in
terest in the services they render. XlO other
internal improvement by the general gov
ernment has ever promised to add so much
to the wealth of the country. It will be the
means of opening a vast region to a popu
lation that we shall be only too happy to
welcome to the national tax-list ; and be
sides, in the event of future wars, it would
be very well to have our neighbors so con
venient, that they could do their share of
the fighting.
Just now, when our California relatives
are anxious to come home to thanksgiving,
it Is pleasant to know, that more than one
third of the work on this Pacific Railroad
is done ; that more than one third of the
whole lino Is in running order; hut, ac
customed as we are to large figures, It seems
a little surprising to know, that over forty
million dollars in money have already been
expended upon it. The Union Pacific Com
pany's contracts for the first 914 miles run
ning west from Omaha, amount to sixty
two million dollars; but this is only sixty
eight thousand dollars per mile Including
equipments of all kinds. We can see no
reason why this Union Pacific Railroad
should not be finished within two or three
years. Thu government aid, in bonds and
lands, is munificent. The Company's own
first mortgage bonds have a ready market,
and the stockholders freely invest their
millions, so that ample means are not lock
ing. The business of tae completed road
will be enormous. Probably nothing like
it will have been known In the history of
railway traffic. All the passengers, mails,
and treasure of the Pacific States and Ter
ritories, and most of the frebffits of the
great mining regions of the Rocky Moun
tains most go over t, and for many years to
come it can have no rival. The twenty
seven thousand "prairie schooners," as (Ina
white-topped ox wagons were call , d that
once traversed the great plains, aro already
laid up, or have gone to more remote points,
and their burdens are transferred to the
railway trains. Indeed, the Weill traffic of
this Union Pacific Railroad Is remarkable,
and Its business increases as lire mining
districts are approached. Its earnings for
the quarter ending .July were officially
reported at over a million ; and after all
expenses were paid, a net sum remained
which proves that the road would ho profit
able If not another mile should lie built.—
"'The way they do things out West " has
always been a synonym of energy, but this
last Illustration of it is certainly tin) most
impressive of all.
Wu would add that the Union Pacific Is
built under the supervision of ay() Directors
appointed by the U. S. overnment, whose
duty it is to Se() Lind all the Company's
affairs are prudently conducted,:and three
I fovernment Commissioners who inspect
the road in sections of twenty miles ' as It

sited only as these sections are accepted, and
pronounced to belthoroughly built and fully

We can sue no reason why they are not
thoroughly sound 1111(1 safe security. We
