ADDRESS
OF THE
DEDIOCRATIC STATE COIIEMITTE.E.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE RoON! 8
CLEARFIELD, Pa., Aug. 7, 180.
To the People of Pennsylvania : -
The Democratic organization, devoted
to the maintenance of its immortal princi
ples ; conscious of its duly to them, and
to the Republic; proud of its years, its
triumphs, and its heroism in disaster, and
remembering that in the face of- persecu
cution, of official frowns, of corrupt appli
ances and of successive defeats,its num
bers have steadily increased again
presents to you its candidate for your suf
frages.
The Republican party bas controlled
the government for six years, and we ac
cuse it before you, because :
In the sacred natne of Union, it has per.:
petuated disunion
In the room of the blesSings of peace,
it has given us hate, discord and misery;
It has violated the plainest principles of
free government, broken the Written Con
stitution, and only yielded'obedipnce to
the behests of party ;
The people are denied the attribute of
sovereignty ; the military subverts the
civil power ; generals remove' governors
elected by the people, and a despotism
reigns in ten States ;
Congress assumes the right to say that
negroes shall vote in Pennsylvania, and
denies to us the right to regulate our own
rule of , suffrage;
The negro is, by law, made the equal
of the white man in all public places, and
authorized to bold office and sit on juries
in the Capital ;
The destinies of ten States and of ten
million of white people therein, are, by
Congress and the military power, placed
under the control of four millions of
blacks ;
Their reckless expenditure of the pub
lic money in their conduct, of the govern
ment, in the"support and organization of
hundreds of thousands of idle negroes; in
the employment of hordes of unnecessary
spies and officials, and in maintaining mil
itary power over the submissive South,
endangers and delats....the-ika4eut.ptitla
is pledged ; ,
Their gr 3ss mismanagement causes tax
atioNto bear heavily upon the people. In
1560, one dollar and sixty cents per head
were paid by the people through the cus
toms ; in 1866, fourteen dollars per head
were drawn, mainly from the consnmp
•ion and business, of the poorer classes,
:nruugh the customs and internal revenue.
la IS6O, each individual, owed two dollars
and six cents of the public debt; in 1867,
Pact' owes seventy-nine dollars and fifty
'cents thereof. In 1860, the expenses of
the government, were sixty-two millions , ;
in 1867, the Treasury estimates them at
ITO hundred and twenty-five millions, in
dependent of the interest on the debt, loth be
nip periods of peace. Pennsylvania's share
of the public debt is two hundred and sev
enty-five millions, her own debt thirty-five
and a half millions, and her city and coun
ty indebtedness will swell the total to
tour -hundred millions. Twenty-five mil
lions annually come from your earnings to
pay the interest thereon. In 1860, R_ur
Mate government cost you four hundred
and two thousatid dollars ; whilst in 1866'
:t cost you 4tix hundred and sixty-nine
thousand dollars;
The pressure of these exhausting bur;
likens, and the suicidal policy of Congress,
have caused uncertainty , and depression
to pervade all branches of trade and -man
ufactures ;
Our commerce is suffering, the enter
prise of our people is repressed and busi
ness interests languish ;
The revenues of the government are less
than its interest and expenses, and the fi
nancial officer foreshadows an increase of
the public debt;
They plot the destruction of our form
of government, by destroying the hide
-I,plidence of the Executive, attempting to
, übordinate the judiciary and by concen
trating all power in the, legislative branch;
Robbing the people of sovereign
„pow
er, they have united it, with the govern
ment in Congress, and dealt a fatal blow
at our libetties, for tyranny may be as ab
solute in a number of persons as in an in
dividual.
Unblushing corruption stalks through
every department - of the governmental).
der their control.
For these and kindred wrongs we ar
raign theta, and 88 the represeutative, of
antagonism' to eaisb'of theni we - piesent
to yGn our candidate for le Supreme
Bench:
GEORGE SnAuswoop—a Pennsylviug
an, a man of pure morals, a profound think
er, a sound lawyer and a jurist of nation
al reputation: It has been the rule of his
Official conduct to yield obedience to writ
ten law, and neither party
~necessity nor,
corrupting influence can sway him from;
his duty to fearlessly proclaim it.
His opponent, Henry W. Williams, is
a native of New England, and is numpar
alively unknown to our people. Prior to
Ina nomination he was said to'be a: Wot
thy gentleman and an "able lawyer. He
has accepted a nomination upon . a-rplitte:
furm by which he is pledged "To PLACE
THE: SUPREME COURT IN HARMONY WITH
THE POLITICAL. OPINIONS OF TILE MAJORITY
OF TILE PEOPLE." This destroys his inde
pendence andi" holds the Judge accoun
" table to apolitical party for his con
" struction of the law, and inevitably
" tempts him' to sacrifice his integrity ; to
" become the meanest of all creatures—a
" sworn minister of justice obedient to
" the dictates of politicians."
The independent and fearless judge pro
tects your life, your liberty and your pro
perty. With which of these men will you
trust them ?
DF3IOCRA'43 OF PENNSVINANIi. :
We call ution you to organi*in every
section of tho State. Act for yeirselves,
promptly and vigorously. Wait for no
The government you love is in
danger, its great cardinal doctrines are

FEXW .OF STORMS
,
'At the season in which Nature presents
to our view the most delightful scenery,
and everything abroad conspires to pro
cure us joy and felicity, there are some
people who still murmur and complain.
They say the 'summers would be very
pleasant if storms did not so often disturb
the harmony of nature, and stifle every
sen4ment of joy in the heart.
Ills fear 'of storms and thunder is prin
cipally founded upon the opinion that
they are the effects of the wrath of heav
en, and the ministers of an offended God.

from the .dreadful effects of thunder;
storms would lose their terrors and would
be regarded as benefits, more calculated
to inspire gratitude than terror.
It may, however, he objected, that
thunder and lighting often occasion great
devastation ; that - have often 'struck men
and animals, and destroyed towns and
villages. o this we may reply, that in

increases the danger, and magnifies the
To be convinced how rarely it, hap
pens that pelvis 'are by lightning,
we have only to be informed that out of
750,000 persons who died in Louden du
ring the space of thirry years, only two
were destroyed by lightning.
We may also, observe that during a
thunder-storm the generality of people
prolong their fears without any real ne
cessity. Ile who has time to fear and be
alarmed at the effects of lightning, is al
ready out of danger; for as that is the
only thing which?can be fatal to us, the
moment we have seen it, and remain un
hurt, we are safe ; as the roar of the
thunder which soon follows, whether roll

ears, or bursrmg`With a squad that seems

If by reflecting upon 'the cause of these

surest means of preserving our firmness
and strength of mind, is by endeavoring
to acquire a good conscience. The soul
that is jug, and pare, and firmly relies up

calmly reposes amid the convulsions of

he loves and adores; directs it ; and

MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, AUG. 20, 18-67.
Why It Was Left Out.
Among the more outspoken of the
mongrel papers in this State, there seems
to be quite a' disposition to find fault with
the proceedings of their State Convention,
for not incorporating the negro suffrage
plank in their platform. In explanation
of why it was left out, the Village Record,
a leading mongrel journal published at
Westchester, says:
"The subject was thoroughly discussed
by the committee on resolutions, the mem
ber of the committee from Bucks county
making an argument in favor of the adop
tion of such a resolution. The expediency
of this action, however, was decidedly
opposed by some of the delegates from
the interior, who thought their constitu
ents were not yet quite prepared to face the
music. It was suggested that the subject
would at any rate be acted upon by Con
gress, as soon as the pending constitu
tional amendmen;,s would be ratified, and
that the States themselves would be re
lieved of the responsibilities of fixing the
qualifications of citizenship in this respect.
Thus it came about that the suffrage
plank was Omitted from our State plat
form."
Here is a very honest and candid con
fession, and one, too, that should open
the eyes of the thousands of white men,
who have heretofore been voting with
mongrelism, but have so often asserted
that they will no longer vote for that
party when they aro convinced, that it
favors negro suffrage. It is not because
they are not in favor of negroes voting,
not becaMie they would keep the ballot
out of his hand, and preserve the superi
ority of the white. man, that - their . platform
says nothing about it, but for the sitnple
reason that they fear that the masses of
. their party are not yet quite prepared to
face the nuoic ! Not yet prepared to ac
knowledge Sambo as their equal ; not
prepared to give mine the reigns of gov
ernment; not yet prepared to march arm
in arm to the ballot-box, with these sweet
scented "American citizens of Afridan de
scent." And yet, knowing, feeling and
acknowledging that even a majority of
their own party, together with the hun
dreds of thousands of noble democrats
throughout the State, are bitterly opposed
uesfr'e uht Aloff gT4girwirr'ntlfOte - file
State of,fixing the qualifications of its citi
zens," or in other words, force negro suf
frage upon us, in opposition to the wishes
of three-fourths of our white voters. It is
to accomplish this that their candidate for
Supreme Judge is pledged to make his
decisions in accordance with the "wishes
of those electing him." And if the white
men of l'ennsylvania feel that they "are
not ready to face the music," and march
arm in arm to the polls with an ignorant
and degraded race, they must vote for
those who will oppose any interference by
Congress, with our laws regulating the
"qualification of citizens." 'WILLIAMS has
pledged himself to decide that Congress
has the right to make negroes voters in
Pennsylvania in opposition to the wishes
of our people. SitAnswoon will decide
that it is a question that the white men
of our State alone can` settle.
Shameless Duplicity.
The editor of a radical organ, the Pitts
burgh Gazelle in referring to the bill
passed by the Fortieth Congress author
izing the negroes to hold office in the Dis
trict of Columbia, admits the shameless
duplicity of the Radical party in this and
other Northern States upon the negro
question, and continues:
" Many Republicans seem inclined to
pass laws for other people to observe, the
spirit of which they are not willing to live
up to in their own States, counties or cit
ies. Thus, the civil rights act, declaring
black to be citizens of the United States to
as full a degree as whites, is forced upon
the South„ while every application of the
doctrine here in Pennsylvania is resisted
by prominent Republicans who went into
ccstacles when that bill was passed over
the Presidential veto. We have not the
profoundest respect for this sort of thing.
If Republicans are not willing themselves
to except the citizenship of the blacks they
have no right for party purposes, to com
pel the people of the South to accept it
If they will stoutly profess one thing,
while airing their rhetoric against' their
opponents, and with no attempt at con
cealment, put the very opposite into prac
tice where they are individually con
cerned, they ought to expect ultimately to
reap .the wretched. consequences of . their
SDAMELESS DUPLICITY.

Harper's Weekly," a journal of civiliza
tion," (?) recently contained the subjoined
"growl" on the.condition of the country. i
This weekly belongs to the ultra Radical
school, and helped as much as aus other
journal in the Union to bribg about the
tery deplorable state of things it now
complains of. What does this " loyal "
sheet mean by the startling announcement
that the public "sooner or later will rebel
against this load?"
" We cannot help thinking, and saying,
too, in strict confidence to the readers of
this journal, that - stupid, imd — dull, and
voiceless as the' public may be, he has
some rights which politicians will sooner
or later have to recognize. He is now
paying tax at the rate of seven per cent.
more than is paid by the most heavily
taxed people in Europe, and at the same
time he is payirig for commodities of all
kinds and labor one hundred and fifty per
cent. more than any other people in the
world. In England the taxes are heavy,
no doubt, but food, clothing, and rent are
cheap. In Russia living is expensive, but
the taxes are light; but here in the United
States the public groans under the simul
taneous burden of heavy taxes and high
living. We have a notion that, sooner or
later, he will rebel agairl this load, and
that the party that laid it iOu his shoulders
will itself be laid pretty loW."
The quicker the radical party, which
keeps up the high taxes, is laid low, the
better!
The Daily American Union, published
at Chattanooga, Tennessee, gives the fol
lowing account of the manner in which
the late election was conducted in that
place under the orders of Brownlow :
"No opposition was made on the day
of the election by the Conservative party
to the manifestly fraudulent manner in
which it was carried on. It is a noto
rious fact that the negroes were imported
from Georgia, furnished with certificates,
voted, and seat home again. '
It is well known that the polls were
opened nearly an hour before the time
appointed by law. It was patent to all
he' diter— LAIn/irtr -ivratnitrtil
were taking from the negroes all tickets
not stamped with the sign of John An
derson, and cdmpelling them to vote the
broad-axe ticket.
The whitB men made no opposition,
however. Previous demonstrations had
convinced thorn that the column •of ne•
groes standing before the polls, whofn the
police were enfranchising by every means
in their power, were like a powder maga
zine, and needing only the slightest provo
catkin to blaze forth in riot and bloodshed.
Being peaceful citizens and having the
Food of the city at heart, knowing the
inevitable result of any interference with
the well-laid plans of the Metropolitan
Police, they preferred a peaceable defeat
at the ballot-box, to incurring any danger
of a disturbance.
Nevertheless, the election was illegal
and fraudulent, as can be proven by the
poll-books. The same frauds were doubt
loss committed elsewhere, and were pass
ed over for similar reasons. We are
powerless to resist, but we can, at least,
publish abroad to the world how the
boasted triumph of Browulow was se
cured."
Mr. Mc/lwland, well known to our
people, and a highly respected citizen,
formerly of this city and latterly of Texas,
has arrived here. We believe he thinks
Texas need up as a place for white men
in the future. Before he came away he
saw a jury in the court house composed of
eleven negroes and one white man. This
was now nothing uncommon.
Mr. McAusland brings the correct ac
count of the atrocities now practised upon
the whites by the negroes, instigated by
the troops. He gives the full particulars
of the burning of the town of Brenham,
in Washington county. The first trouble
occurred at a private invitation, ball given
by .a party of young men, who had taken
their sisters and sweethearts to the hall
hired for the purpose. In the midst of
their enjoyment the officers of the troops
stationed m the vicinity attempted to gain
admission, and afterwards brought in five
negro wenches, whom they insisted on
baying admitted promiscuously in the
dances. Of course this produced trouble.
The young men protested, and declared
the negro wenches must not only keep
out of the,quadrilles but leave the room,
as it, was a private ball. The officers de
clared they, should keep their black part
ners,,in the room, and also that they
should. be, admitted indiscriminately to
the dances. The white girls declined to
dance quadrilles with the negro wenches,
and were about to retire when they were
insulted by the officers; this produced a
rumpus—the,young men of the town ral
lied, a fight commenced, and the result
vFat3 that tha.nfficers and wenches were
cleared out. Th,c next day
,the,tremis re
turned, and, in . revenge burned up the
business part of the place and gave the
whites 'mice' to leave, as they would
come back and finish the job. This they

churches, again ordering all whites to
leave. They next, aided by a drove of
negroes, destroyed every building in the
town. Not a single house was standing
when Mr. McAusland left, to mark where
stood so recently the flourishing and
happy town of Brenham, Washington co.,
Texas.
RadiCal Financiering.
The Harrisburg Telegroph r a most un
scrupulous Radical paper printed at the
capital, recently published the following:
Moreover, under Democratic adminis
trations of former years, from 1841 to
1860, large amounts of the debts of the
Commonwealth had been falling due from
time to time, and no provision made for
its renewal, much less for its payment.
In 1866 the aggregate of these overdue
loans of the State was some twenty-three
millions of dollars. The present adminis
tration promptly determined that this re
proach should be taken away, and in Jan
uary last advertised for the redemption of
all these overdue obligations, and suc
ceeded in effecting .an exchange of new
securities for the whole at par.
Upon which the Patriot and Union has
the following to say :
We are glad our 'Radical neighbor has
ventured to notice this matter, And. we
may on some future occasibn Ventilate one
of the boldest swindles that has ever been
practiced upon the tax-payers of the State.
At present we would only say that the
impression designedly conveyed to the
reader by the _Geary_ organ that these
overdue obligations had ceased to bear
interest, and that the State- creditors ur
gently demanded payment bf tho•tprin
cipal, is wholly false. The time • had
simply expired when the State bad: a
right to pay, but the interest had not
ceased, and as the security was ample,
the creditors were abundantly content.
The practice has for years uniformly
been for the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund to advertise for proposals from the
holders of State loans, and to , use the sur
plus money not otherwise required for the
purchase of them, and thus save, many
• times,- a large per eentage for the State.
Now what was done by these .Radical
- of"rtreseovtliiinkroang - r L c) :"'i. l h
was no money to be made by that, besides
the drippings from so large a sum in the
Treasury would aid largely in electing
another such handy Legislature as we had
last winter.
But what did they do? Wo will tell
you, honest reader. They borrowed
twenty-three millions of dollars at six PER
CENT., and made the loin free from State
and other lazes, to pay off a:loan of a simi
lar amount at FIVE. PER CENT., tozahle!
They merely enabled certain parties to
put hundreds of thousands of dollars into
their pockets at once, and made an ad
dition to the State debt of at least $450,-
000 per annum! The names of the
parties to this transaction are known to
us, and may bo made the subject of a
future article.
If this is what the Radicals call finan
ciering, then the sooner the State -can be
relieved of such operators the better for
the tax-payers.
Negro Industry.
In a late number of the Lynchburg
Virginian, we,find the following: --
A friend who has been residing in the
peninsula fdr some mouths past, informs
us that, there are about; 28,000 negroes
between Williamsburg and Hampton—a
distance of thirty-six miles. These people
are sustained with rations furnished by
the government, at a cost of 460,000
monthly, while five companies of cavalry
are required to patrol the country to pre
vent depredations. Every effort has been
made to induce a portion of ,them to re
move to Florida, the ofiicera'of the gov
ernment offering them free transportation.
There is a standing offer of this nature
made by General Armstrong, of the
Freedmen's Bureau, to convey the men
with their amilies, to any point they may
select, with the view of engaging m use
ful labor. But they have persistently re,-
fused every offer of the kind and rejected
every overture made to get them employ
ment. Under the provisions of the civil
rights bill it is impossible to do anything
contrary to their wishes, and so tlic3r.re
main huddled within Oki limited area and
are a heavy tax upon the government.—
Some of them have taken to highway
robbery, and, but for the presence of a
largo cavalry force, a residence in that
country would be intolerable. How long,
we wonder,aviH the people submit to this
enormous tax to support such idle and
worthless pets of the Black Republican
party? Verily! Radicalism is a dear ex
periment, taxing the patience and pockets
of the people to a degree unprecedented
in the history of any country.
The facts speak for themielves; seven
hundred and twenty thousand dollars taken
every year, from our heavily-taxed peoPle,
to support in idleness twenty-eight thou
sand negroes, who will not, accept work
when offered. And, if the people sustain
the Radical policy, how many more thou
sand idle negroes iu the Southern. States
wi!l they be compelled to maintain, to
furnish Radical voters ?
VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER
" Traitors " Ought in the Act.
A number of prominent Conservatives
of Itiobroono„Virginia, (some of. whom
had 'bee& 'ades'stonists,) . went several
Miles 'into"the country with their fatailtes
on the Fourth'of July, and proceeded to
the enjoyment of one of those old-fash
ioned celebrations Which have become so
rare, of late years. Their proceedings i
hoWever, lied been carefully watched from
the start by one of those vigilant military
guardians of "reconstruction," a dapper
little Lieutenant, who evidently smelled
treason in the wind. Following unob

conspirators mounting a platform and
commencing the delivery of what, of

speech, ho quietly made his way toward
the assemblage and listened. His sus

a written sifeech in the following treason
