DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.
The most bare-faced piece of in
consistency, ami sliameless tergiver
sation, which the democratic party
have exhibited for a long time, (and
it is ever and anon exposing itself to
censure and ridicule for its practices
in this line,) is to be found in the ef
fort it is uow making to secure the
negro vote in the South. After hav
ing for thirty years contended that
the negro was only a step removed
from the ouraug outang, that God
made] and intended him for a slave
to the white man, that he was fit for
nothing else ; and by laboring in
season and out of season, striving to
educate the American mind to these
notions, this party, uow, without any
apology, or show of excuse, calls on
the negro to vote the democratic
ticket, appealing to his reason, and
higher manhood, in order to persuade
him, and declaring themselves the
only fi iends the black race ever
had in this country.
One would suppose that shame
would blister the faces of such beg
gars for negro votes, and would, if
they were not case-hardened by long
practice of such shameless inconsist
ency. While we remember that this
party has even made it a special bu
siness to advocate and condemn all
public measures to suit localities ;
that it was for a tariff in Pennsylva
nia, and against it in South Carolina,
and that during the rebellion, it was
for the Union, or against it, just as
it happened t(T be in a union or rebel
district ; and that now, when demo
crats are with rebels, they belch out
the most infamous treason, and when
among union men their loyalty tras
cends that of everybody. While we
know all this, we repeat, we did not
expect to see this hypocritical, false
hearted, union-hating party, under
take to cajole the negro into the sup
port of the democratic party. This
caps the climax of democratic ter
giversation. We always knew dem
ocrats would steal ; but who ever
thought they would try to steal abo
lition thunder ? Democrats taking
the negro by the hand, calling him
friend and brother democrat! Dem
erats smiling on the negro, asking
him to drink, and take a walk arm
in-arm, to the polls ! ! Well, if this
is not a new era! "Misery will
take strange bed-fellows," but who
ever expected to see democrats make
bed-fellows of low, wooly-heady, ba
boon negroes. Yet such is the fact
now. Hoar what the Southern Herald
says :
" We make too much unnecessary
; fuss about the right of suffrage be
ing conferred upon the negro. Let
the poor darkey vote and hold office,
too, if he is qualified, and we are
sure that we will be the gainer there
by, for what Southern man would
not rather see our offices filled by de
cent and respectable negroes than by
the Puritanical and hypocritical Yan
kees V
SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN BRAZIL.
England, Russia and the United
States, within the last few years,
successively abolished Slavery. In
England and Russia the aristocracy
—in the United States, the democra
cy—resisted the movement,las at va
riance with the laws of nature and
the inculcations of revelation, as
prejudicial to the welfare of the peo
ple emancipated, and as damaging to
social and industrial progress. Croak
ings did not avail to stop the pro
gress of the age. Even Brazil has
caught the infection. The Emperor
of that country has abolished Slavery
•the only limitation being that chil
dren shall be free on reaching ma
jority. An enlightened man and rul
er, he comprehends that liberty
means elevation and improvement,
and he unites his name and dynasty
with the best aspirations of the age.
Spain remains, in Europe and Ameri
ca, the champion of that domestic in
stitution which the democratic party
of this republic venerate as the corn
er stone of law and order.
Some misapprehension exists
throughout the County, in reference
to the increase of the pay of Mem
bers of the Legislature, many per
sons believing that ,the pay was in
creased to £1350. Such is not the
fact. The pay of members of the
last Legislature was not increased
over the amount paid the previous
session. The House passed the Ap
propriation bill with a section increa
sing the pay to £1350. This section
was strongly opposed by our mem
bers in the House. It passed, how
ever, and went to the Senate. A
caucus of the Republi -an Senators,
resolved to reduce the pay to the
original sum, at all hazards, and in
sist upon the reduction, even if the
Appropriation bill failed by reason of
that amendment. This course was
suggested and supported by Mr.
LAXDON, by whose efforts the increase
was stricken out, and bill went back
to the House, where the reduction
was sustained.
Our members in both branches are
entitled to the credit of having
sistentiy and strenuously opposed
any increase of their pay.
The U. S. Supreme Court on
Monday, dismissed the Georgia and
Mississippi Injunction cases.
Neros of tl)f tOtek
A defalcation was discovered
some days since in the office of the City
Clerk, of Qoincy, HL An examination has
resulted in finding thus far $4,700 in fraudu
lent vouchers, which he had issued to hide
his deficiencies.
A collision occurred on the Belle
fontaiue and Indianapolis Railroad, near De
Graff, Ohio, on Wednesday night, between
two trains. The Two engineers were killed.
One fireman was also killed and two injur
ed.
—A negro burglar, named John
McEwen; while attempting to break into the
house of J. B. Svnnot, in Memphis, on
Wednesday night, was shot through the
heart by Mrs. Synnot. who was alone in the
house at the time.
—Francis Denn, a colored man,
fell from an engine on the Lebanon Valley
Railroad Thursday and was run over by the
train. His head was completely severed
from his body.
—Two young girls belonging in
Fall River, Mass., ran away with some of
the circus company that performed there on
Tuesday, 30th ult. They have been tracked
to Providence, but have not yet been found.
On Friday night a formidable tor
nado visited Council Bluffs, demolishing the
temporary depot of the Northwestern Rail
road and other private buildings. Omaha,
four miles west, felt nothing of it.
—Ex-President Pierce arrived at
Fortress Monroe Thursday. His visit is re
garded as having some important connection
with the trial of Jefferson Davis.
—The ice which the late gale had
blown in front of Buffalo harbor has broken
up. A large fleet of vessels arrived at that
port on Wednesday.
—Continued accounts of Indian
outrages reach us by every Western mail.
They are the interest and profits of our
Government and citizens on the gifts and
sales of Spencer rifles and choice ammuni
tion, with which it is our custom to plenti
fully supply our savage neighbors.
—Maximillian is resolved, at least,
to die like a king, if all accounts are true.
The Liberals, at last advices, were undoubt
edly driving everything before them, and
the Franco-Austrian empire is practically
ended ; but the unhappy monarch faces his
fate manfully, and will command the respect
and sympathy of all. He will, at all events,
never make his exit from history in gown
and shawl.
—One of the principal objects of
the visit of the Japanese commissioners to
this country is connected with the purchase
of vessels of war. As Russia will probably
receive iron-clads in payment for Russian
America, and as various European govern
ments have shown their high appreciation
of the improved fire-arms invented in this
country, the nation appears to be in a fair
way to become the arsenal of the world, as
well as its granary and cotton plantation.
—The contemplated new railroad,
from Sunbury to Wilkes-Barre, byway of
Danville, is an improvement of the utmost
importance. A corps of engineers, under
Col. F. C. Arms, late of the Northern Cen
tral railway, has commenced a survey of
the route from Sunbury. This road, we
presume, is intended to connect with the
Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western road
in Luzerne county, and with the Northern
Central at Sunbury. Its construction is
designed to develope the extensive coal
lands through which it passes.
—Attorney-General Brewster, has
officially given his opinion respecting the
lottery scheme, ostensibly in behalf of the
Gettysburg Asylum for Invalid Soldiers.
The plan was agreed upon by a minority of
the Board of Corporators, Generals Meade,
Beaver and Pennypacker not being present.
Mr. Brewster declares their action therefore
to be illegal, and that even if the meeting
had been legally held, the scheme proposed
would be criminal unless specially author
; ized by law. He also says that if persisted
I in he shall institute legal proceedings against
| those concerned in it.
—On Thursday night last a bold
I attempt was made to rob the National Bank
of Marlborough, Mass. An entrance to the
banking-room was gained and the burglars
succeeded in striking off the iron mouldings
of the safe and boring a small hole. In
reaming out this hole the bit broke : as it
could not be removed, it was left in the hole.
This accident, it is supposed, defeated the
plan of robbery.
—Two men, named Henry Breene
and John Casey, got into a quarrel at Water
bury, Conn., ou Tuesday, over the collection
of rent money due the latter forjthe occupa
tion by the former of a dwelling-house.—
From high words the parties came to blows,
which resulted in Breene's seizing an axe
and striking Casey} upon the head and crush
ing his skull and inflicting other horrible
wounds from which he died. Breene then
made his escape.
—There was quite an excitement
in Cleveland on Sunday over the hauling
down by a number of Irishmen, calling
themselves Fenians, of an English flag fly
ing from the Toronto schooner Elk. The
Tara Circle Fenian Brotherhood met on
Monday evening and denounced the act as
"foolish and insane," and Collector Garniss
promptly sent anjexplanation of the affair to
Washington.
—Three boys, named respectively
Henry Fitch, Arthur Bennett and Thomas
Quirk, sons of respectable citizens of Roch
ester, were detected on Tuesday in commit
ting a burglary, and were arrested. They
confess to having committed numerous
burglaries lately. They were all sent to the
House of Refuge.
—Quarrying for the bridge over
the Ohio River at Louisville has been com
menced. The stone work to be done con
sists of two abutments, each eighty feet
high, and thirteen piers, each from 120 to
110 feet in height. The engineer promises
that the bridge shall be ready for use by Jan.
! 1, 1870.
—Rev. Drs. Fairburn, Pcnham and
Hall, and Rev. Mr. Wells, a Scotch and
Irish Presbyterian delegation, received a
formal welcome in Philadelphia on Tuesday
evening at Dr. Wylie's church. They start
immediately upon a tour through the prin
cipal cities of the Union.
—Thomas Gebhart was taken
from the jail in Taylor County, Ky., on
Monday night, and hung to a tree by a mob.
The reason given for this summary proceed
ing was that Gebhart was a murderer, a pest
to society, and that there was little prospect
of his being legally executed.
—William Lord Garrison sailed
for Europe Thursday from Boston in the
steamship Cuba. A number of friends ac
companied him on board the ship, and he
was informed that $30,000 had been collect
ed and placed to his credit in partial recog
nition of his services in the anti-slavery
cause.
