A. J. GERRITSON, Proprietor. i
A Negro Government.
There has been for many years a negro
government "in full bloom" in the Island
of Hayti. It was carried on for a time as
a Republic, but some years ago au ambi
tious and extremely ugly old nigger,
named Faustin Soulongue, aided by a con
siderable number of colored military offi
cers of a Sickles and Sheridan turn of
mind, suddenly converted it into:an em
pire and proclaimed himself Emperor._
By " mildly confiscating" the property of
the unfortunate niggers who grumbled a
little at this change of affairs, and by im
posing a rate of taxation almost as high
as that imposed by the Radicali upon the
people of the United States, Soulouque
managed for some years to keep up a
style of living nearly as sumptuous as that
of a shoddy contractor. Santbo was
pleased with the •show till its novelty
wore off, and then he arose in his might
and chased the Emperor, out of the coun
try and set up the RepubliC again, with
Geffrard, a better looking negro than
Sonlouque, as President.
But Geffra.rd had barely time to get
warm in his eeat when the Haytien
gers put in force the only system of pop.
ular sovereignty that they appear capable
of understanding, and ousted him too.—
They assembled at the capital with guns,
pistols, knives, axes, hoes, scythes, forks,
and other formidable weapons, and noti
fied their President that it would be we'l
for him to leave those parts if he did not
want to be shot into a sieve or chopped
into mince meat.
•
It is needless to say that he left. Sal
nave, who headed the outbreak against
Geffrard, as the latter had done against
Soulouque, assumed the Presidency. This
was only a few months ago, and now we
gel the following news from-the African
ized Island of Hayti :
HarANa, Ang. 3L
According to a late correspondence re
ceived from St. Domingo, we are assured
that President Cabral was on the Ilayti
ep frontier, where various towns bad ris
en against the Salnave government, and
proclaimed Cabral as President of Hayti.
Up to this moment, says the writer, Ca
bral has not thought fit to accept the call
of the insurrectionims,whose object seems
to be the union of Hayti to St. Domingo,
under the Presidency of General Cabral.
It is currently reported that Salnave is a
fugitive.
The negroes of Hayti had advantages
of education which their brethren in the
United States have not enjoyed. They
have long been independent and have had
ample time to learn the art of governing
themselves ; and. yet the only law they ajo
peal to when they wish to change thir
chief magistrate, is the law of physical
force !
We present these facts for the consid
eration of the white people of Pennsylva
nia. What reason have we to expect the
Diggers of the Southern States, just
emerged from slavery, to surpass those of
Hayti, who have been free for genera
tions, in the art of self-government ? Is
it not plain that the Radicals, in sudden
ly laing these ignorant negroes to the
level of intelligent white people of the
country, are making au experiment full of
peril to our peace, prosperity and happi
ness? If the negro character is so unsta
ble and savage in Hayti that nothing
short of revolution and bloodsbed every
few months will satisfy it, can the ne
groes of the United States be depended
on to await the verdict of the ballot-box
when they are desirous of a change of ru
lers ?
How to Reduce your Taxes.
The increased taxation and reckless ex
penditures consequent upon Radical rule
are pressing heavily on the workingmen
of this State. A large proportion of their
wages is swallowed up by the growing
demands of the War Department, the,ex
penses of which are increased by the
admission of the Southern States, and
drafts made by the Freedmen's Bureau
fur funds to support idle and worthless
negroes.
It the Radicals are continued in power,
the expenses will be`auginented and the
taxes increased. If workingmen wish to
be relieved from the burdens imposed up
on them, they must drive the Radicals
from power. In that manner only can
they bring back the good old times when
taxes were low, and prices of articles of
every-day use within the reach of labor
ing men.

The Soldiers Voting.
The Age eayS: That old lie about the
the Democracy opposing the soldier vote
is vamped up afresh for this occasion. It
is contradicted by the records of the
courts, by every memorial of the facts, by
the personal knowledge of every man who
knows the ,truth—but what of that ? It
is a political maxim with some people
that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the
truth." "
The Press, of Saturday, ended a piteous
appeal to the soldiers with a reference to
the now almost obsolete question of army
voting—" the Democracy were opposed
to your voting at all," seys the Preel.
Now, We do not intend to discuss, at
present, the question of camp voting; we
merely ask the Radicals to state it truth
fully. It was they who raised that ques
tion against the soldier; their judges de
cided it against him, both in the Quarter
Sessions of this city, and in the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. The question was
first raised to defeat the election of Rob
ert Ewing,, the Democratic candidate,
who had a majority for the office of Sher
iff of Philadelphia, if the votes cast for
him in the army could be counted. W.
13. Mann, the Republican District Attor
ney, made up a case by indicting a Ger
man soldier named Kuntsman, fbr fraudu
lently voting at a camp in Virginia. It
was in this case that Judge Allison, a Re
publican, decided that no legal vote could
be given by a soldier beyond the limits of
his State.
When the case came up before the Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania, in the case
of Chase and Miller, all the Republican
judges on the bench joined in the decis
ion that the absent soldier had no right
to vote. Only one judge dissented from
that judgment. Who was he—a Repub
lican ? No, he :was the staunch Demo
crat, Judge Thompson ; the same that
vindicated the right of our citizens to the
writ ot habeas corpus, which the Radicals
were anxious to keep " suspended" after
the Avar was over. Thus, as all men know,
who know anything of the matter, it was
.the Radicals who first raised and decided
the question in the courts against the sol
.diers' right to vote. Afterward an amend•
ment waS made to the Constitution, giv
ing to soldiers absent in the service the
privilege ot sending home their votes. To
this amendment no party onbosit ion was
made. Many votes were cast against it,
however, by men of all parties, on the
ground that it afforded too wide an op
portunity for frauds in elections: The
Radicals made baste to prove the truth of
this objection.
We will refer now to facts beyond all
doubt established by judicial proof, and
undeniable in this community. They ex
hibit the infamous frauds practiced against
soldiers and citizens, by the Radical poli
ticians, who made up their " soldier vote"
from names on tombstones and the list of
killed in battle. No one can yet have for
gotten the electit4n of City Commissioner,
in which the gallant Colonel Weaver was
the Democratic candidate, and Mr. John
Given was the fit representative of the
Radicals. The citizens elected Colonel
Weaver, and the result of the election
Ras officially announced.
Then was enacted a piece of Radical
villainy which was without parallel in its
insolent contempt of law and decency. A
stream of "soldier votes" was poured in
to the Prothouotary's office. "Soldier
votes" of which none were for the gallant
soldier, Colonel Weaver, but all for his
Radical opponent, Mr. John Given !
The Radical Return Judges reassem
bled in hot haste, and declared that these
notoriously fraudulently manufactured
votes had elected John Given. We need
not rehearse all the particulars of a ease
familiar to our readers. The courts re
versed the action of the Return Judges,
and gave the office to Colonel Weaver.
Now, this was a specimen of the "sol
dier voting" that the Radicals favor. The
votes for real soldiers for Robert Ewing,
they rejected ; but the spurious soldier
votes manufactured for John Given they
admitted, and did their best, by means of
them, .to cheat the soldier of his office.
Soldiers, think of these things ; they
are thus, proved and known, and beyond
denial.
The Democracy in Motion.
The good news of recent Democratic
successes in different parts of the. coun
try, has given much zeal and vigor to the
Democratic ranks in this State. Cam
paign clubs are being reorganized and
new ones formed. The star of hope is
seen at last, and with a new life all are
pressing forward to the mark of triumph,
Let the work go vigorously on, and the
second Tuesday of October will be a day

and constitutional law.

MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, OCT. 1, 1867.
The Negro Question.
It is now the avowed determination of
the Radical party to so alter, modify, and
change the laws of the State and nation,
as to force negroes upon a full social and
political level with white men. The evi
dence of this can be seen in the recorded
acts of that organization. The late war
between the States was so managed by
Mr. Lincoln and his associates as to inure
to the benefit of the negro. Their eman
cipation and enfranchisement took prece
dence of the union of the States under the
Constitution, and the real interests of
white men. Reconstruction has been im
peded and delayed in order that the ele
vation of the negro might be put upon a
broader and more secure basis. In defi
ance of the teachings of history, the igno
rant and prejudiced negroes of the South
have been elevated to the full rank of
American citizens, and the welfare of
three States of the Union placed entirely
in their hands, while in seven others they
hold the balance of power. This will en
able them to eleot negroes as governors
and members of Congress, to fill the legis
latures with men of that race, and bend
local laws in the direction of their inte
rests and in opposition to those of white
men.
'What has been done with reference to
the South will be attempted in this section
also. Mr. Wilson's bill enfranchising the
negroes of the North, despite any imped
iment that may exist in the Constitution
of any one of the States in this section,
distinctly marks the onward course of the
current of negro equality. Mr. Sumner
declared in his place in the Senate that it.
was the intention of the Radical party to
force negro suffrage into the Northern
States. Such an act, he said, would "se
cure the Radical party three thousand
votes in Connecticut, and fifteen thousand
in Pennsylvania. It was needed in New
York and Indiana, and, in fact, in,.every
State." The movement headed - iSy Mr.
Wilson has the entire support of all the
leading men of the Radical party. Sena
tor Cameron, of this State, moved to pro
ceed to the consideration of the bill in
order that it might be passed at the close
of the last session of Congress. Mr. Ste
vens endorses it in a most hearty and en
thusiastic manner, and no word of oppo
sition to its passage has been beard from
the Radical press in this Commonwealth.
ph-
be
-
be looked upon as endorsed and adopted
by the dominant party in this State, to be
carried out at the earliest possible mo
ment. If the Radicals succeed at the
coining election, negroes will vote in
Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the prohi
bition in tho Conotitutivn, and Judge
Williams wi l decide that such a law is
binding .because it is in " hartiaiiny with
the political opinions of a majority of the
people."
This is the negro question from a na
tional standpoint. But in our own State
there are abundant evidences that the
Radical party ara in favor of negro equal
ity. Look at one instance. On the 22d
of March, 1867, John W. Geary approved,
the following bill:
SscrtoN 1. That on and after the pass
age of this act, any railroad or railway
corporation, within this Commonwealth,
that shall exclude or allow to be excluded,
by their agents, conductors, or employes,
from any of their passenger cars, any per
son or persons, on account of color, or
race, or that shall refuse to carry in any
of their cars, thus set apart, any person
or persons on account of color of race, or
that shall, for such reason, compel or at
tempt to compel, any person or persons,
to occupy any particular part of any of their
care, set apart for the accommodation of
people as passengers, shall be liable in
action of debt, to the person thereby in
jured or aggrieved, in the sum of five
hundred dollars, the same to be recovered
in an action of debt, as like amounts are
now by law recoverable.
Sscriox 2. That any agent, conductor,
or employe, or any railroad or railway
corporation, within this Commonwealth,
who shall exclude, allow to be excluded,
or assist in the exclusion froutany of their
cars, set apart for the accommodation of
passengers, any person or persons, on ac
count of color or race, or who — shall throw
any car or cars from the track, thereby
,preventing persons from riding, shall be
deemed guilty,pf misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof, shall pay a fine not ex
ceeding five hundred dollars, or be im
prisoned for a term not exceeding three
months nor less than thirty days, or both
at the discretion of the court.
This bill was passed in the Senate by'a
vote embracing all the Radical Senators,
with a single exception. The Democratic
vote in that body was solid against it. In
the House every Radical voted for the
bill; every Democrat against it. By the
provisions of this act white men, women,
and children are compelled to occupy the
same seats with negroes in all public con
veyances. 'No distinction can be made.
Sleeping cars are also open to the en
trance of negroes, and white ladies and
gentlemen are compelled to accept the
company of negroes, or deprive them
selves of the enjoyments and comforts of
thisiatest improvement in railroad .tray-
Wog- In our city care the. operations of
tbialaw oan be seen every dap Negroes
occupy sate while aged white tabu sod
invalid white ladies are compelled to
stand. White girls going to and return
ing from school are forced into close con
tact with negroes, and insulted if they
even express a preference for a seat by
one of their own color. This is the man
ner in which the law forcing negroes into
the cars operates here. That law was
passed by a Radical Legislature, approved
by a Radical Governor, and that party
should be held responsible for the outrage
upon the rights of white men.
But this bill will be followed by others
of a like character if the Radical party is
successful at the coming election. Ne
groes will be forced into our public
schools, into hotels, boarding-houses, the
atres, into the opera, side by side with
white men and women. Bills to carry
forward these "progressive movements"
are now being prepared, and the more
honest of the dominant party do not hesi
tate to declare that they will all be enact
ed into laws if they carry the next Legis
lature. With Buell issues involved in the
contest the white men of Pennsylvania
should labor to make the defeat. of the
Radical party complete and overwhelm
ing. There is no middle ground to oc
cupy at this time. The Democratic party
are for the white man and his interests.
The Radical party are in favor of negro
equality, both politically and socially.—

The Judgeship is not a political office,
and the higher we can raise the Bench
above the influences of party politics, the
purer it will be. The Judges of our
Courts are the sworn guardians of the
life, liberty and property of suitors, and
the people can have no security that these
will be protected, unless they are always
careful to place upon the Bench men who
will be governed in their decisions by the
fixed principles of law and equity, and
not by the capricious will of the party
that happens to be, for the moment, In the

Which of the two candidates for the
Supreme Judgship of this State comes
nearest to these essential requirements ?
If any are in doubt, let, them refer to the
testimony of impartial witnesses, such an
one, for example, as the Hon. F. B. Pen
niman, editor of the Pittsburg Gazette—
who, although a Radical, is honest en
ough to speak the truth. The conscien
tious voter can desire no better endorse
ment of Judge Sharswood, than the fol
lowing:
" In nominating Judge Sharswood as
their candidate for the Supreme Bench,
the Democrats have made a wise selec
tion for themselves during the progress of
the canvass, and for the people of the
whole Commonwealth in case he should
be elected. He is as -suitable a than for
the place as they could have brought for
ward. Naturally of sound and discrim
inating judgment, his faculties have been
matured by thorough study and a large
and varied experience. His reputation
as a man is unblemished. As a =gig
trate, a suspicion of unfairness or partial
has never been raised against him."

Democratic Organization.
The drift of the popular tide in all por
tions of the Union is decidedly in favor of
the Democratit party. The people desire
a change. They are oppoSed to the prin
ciples and acts 'of the party in power.
Legislating outside of the ,Constuntioa
has alarmed those who have interests at
stake in this country. They are afraid
that frauds, peculations, robberies, in
creased debt, and augmented taxation
will be followed by repudiation and agra
rian division of property. The business
men are thinking over the past acts of the
Radicals, and comparing them with what
is promised in the future by Senator
Wade s General Butler , and Thaddeus
Stevens. The fast declining business of
merchants, the stoppage of orders for
manufactured goods, the closing of fac
tories and quenching of fires in rolling
mills, furnaces, and similar establish
ments, are all circumstances of a character
well calculated to make a deep impression
on all classes of the community.
That an impression has been produced
is evident from the elections in Maine,
California and other States. In California
the Democrats have gained 26,000 votes;
they have grained 5,000 votes in Vermont;
16,000 in Maine; 1,000 votes in Connec
ticut; 20,000 in Kentucky;' 2,000 in
Rhode Island; 5,000 in New Hampshire;
and 1,000 in Montana—in seven States
and one Territory, 86,000 votes. These
are not mere accidental changes, result
ing from local causes. They arise from a
deep-seated conviction in the public mind
tbat unless the party now in power is
beaten the liberties of the people will be
sacrificed on the altar of political ambition
and partisan prejudice and hate.
The same causes for discontent with
the Radical party exist in this State.
They have injured all the business inte
rests of Pennsylvania and reduced the
proud old Commonwealth to a mere bob
tail for the New England kite. This fact
is telling with great effect in all parts of
the State. The masses are determined to
banish from place and power the men
now in authority, and pat in their posi
tions individuals who will look after and
take care of Pennsylvania, her honor,
credit, character and material interests.
This they will do through the agency of
the Democratic party, and hence the im
portance of having that organization in

tion is progressing in all parts of the
State, and in this city with zeal and in

must be, "nothing is done while anything
remains to be done." Victory is certain
if a full Democratic vote is polled. The
recruits will swell the majonty to such a
figure as will cheer the hearts of the
friends of the Union, and appal with dis
may the enemies alike of the people, the
States and the nation. Let all aid in this
important matter of organization.
Sharawood vs. Greenbacks.
Judge Sharewood has been before the
people of his native State three months,-
as a candidate for a highly responsible
office, and the only fault that his political
opponents have been able to find in him,
during all this time, is his decision in the
case of Borie vs. +rott. The point he
there affirmed was that an Act of Con
gress, Cannot impair the obligation of a
contract, and that, therefore, an agree
ment, under seal, for the payment of
money "in Spanish Milled Dollars,' binds
the obligor to payo in that coin or its
equivalent. This decision so clearly in
accordance with law, justice and common
sense, has been lately affirmed by the Su
preme Cour‘of this State, in the case of
Dutton vs., Pailaret et al., which will be
found on page 109 of Set:pita Smith's Re
ports. By a singular coincidence,, this
case went up from the District Court of
Philadelphia, (Judge Sbartiwood's Court)
and the opinion in it—affirming the iden
tical principle that was decided by Judge
Sbarswood in the case of Borie vs. Trott
—was delivered by Judge Hare, a Radi
cal politician. The gist of the decision is
that a bond conditioned for payment in
gold of a certain fineness, cannot be liqui
dated by payment in "greenbacks." Thus
has Judge SbartiWbod's ruling been vindi
cated,as sound law by the highest judicial
authority of the State, and if there is any
question of repudiation involved in these
cases, the burden rests upon the Radicals,
who, in a desperate strait to manufacture
political capital, are taking exception to
Judge Sharswood's decision For, is not
the man who obligates himself to pay a
debt in "Spanish Milled Dollars,' and
then tenders depreciated paper currency
instead, a would-be repudiator to the
amount of the difference in value between
coin and greenbacks . ? Judge Sharswood's
interpretation . of the law is a shield for
the people against repudiation, and not au
thority for it.-- 7 #eading Gazette.

Negro Equality.
The "Border State Republican Con
vention," held at' Baltimore on the 3d,
made no distinction on account, of race or
color: White men and black men met on
its floors on terms of perfect equality,
and, as we read in a Republican news
paper printed in this State, "letters were
read from white and colored distinguished
politicians." That mean white Tennes
seean, Horace Maynard, anted as Presi
dent, and that mean white Yankee, Cbas.
Sumner, wrote a letter to the ring•streaked
and speckled assemblage, in which, after
stating his inability to be present, he says;
Congress will leave undone what it
ought to do if it fails to provide promptly
for the establishment of equal rights,
whether political >or civil, everywhere
throughout the Union. This is a solemn
duty which cannot be shirked or post
poned. The idea is intolerable that we
may, tinder any pretension of State rights,
set up a political oligarchy within its bor
ders, and . then call itself a Republican
government. I believe with all my soul
that such a government must be rejected
as inconsistent with the requirements of
the declaration of independence. Frater
nally' yours, •CHARLES SLIINER.
Resolutions in accordance with the
views expressed by Sumner,were adopted
by the Convention. They declare it to be
"the duty of Congress to protect the
equal voting rights of al* .loyal American
citizens, without regard to complexion," and
suggest "the presentation to the States of
a constitutional amendment providing
that no State shall disfranchise any citizen
because of race or color."
The rank and file' of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania are loth to believe
that their readers intend to bind them
Laud and foot with the negro. The pur
pose to do so has been concealed and even
denied. But what, let us ask them, will
result from holding such black and White
Conventions as the one that met in Balti
more, if they do not pronounce at the
polls against the Radical proposition to,
break down all distinctions founded on
color? They may rely on it that if Sum
ner and his negro-loving associates are
not rebuked by the popular voice of Penn
sylvania in October next, Congress will
do just what, Sumner says it ought to do,
and the white men whose brains and
muscle have elevated the "oid Keystone"

on the same level with negroes.
It is time for all to look this question
squarely in the face; and it is time for
those Republicans who profess to be op
posed to negro equality—who say they
don't want to sit on juries with negroes,
and don't want their children to have ne
groes for companions at, school—we say
it is time for all such to act up to their
professions. The question of negro equal
ity is upon us. Blacks and whites have
met together in Convention on our very
borders. Every member of that Conven
tion is the friend of Judge Williams, and
would hail his election with joy. Those
who are determined never to submit to
be put on a perfect level with negroes,
have two courses open to them. One is
to voTE against negro equality—the other
is to submit to it hereafter. Brlieving
the former mode of settling the question
to be infinitely preferable to the latter, we
exhort every white man who believes in
and desires to maintain the superiority of
his own race, to come out and vote for
Judge Sharswood.
Negroes in Office.
The New - Orleans Times, a Ri'idical
paper, thus pictures the effects of negro
equality in that section of the Union :
It is undeniable that a strong feeling of
caste—of exclusiveness—is growing up in
the breasts of the colored people, and that
the tendency to ignore white men as coun
sellors and leaders—even though they be '
of the most Radical type politically—is
constantly on the increase. Even at this
early day, long before tin election for new
local governments can be held, there is
scarcely a State or municipal office that
can be named for which a negro candidate
has not already been put forward, with
strong and active supporters at his back.
A colored man, now holding office by ap
pointment of General Sheridan, boasted
on a leading thoroughfare, in tones to be
beard by passers, that be would be the
next Sheriff elected, if it cost him fifty
thousand dollars. He is confident of suc
ceeding without any such liberal expendi
ture; another is quite as confident of being
the next Mayor. The negro member of
Congress from theFirstDistrictisdecided
upon, and so on to the end of the list. •
. If the white
,men of this State are in
favor of making• a Hayti of the United
States, let them vote the Radical ticket at
the coming election.
—White men should recoollect that
every vote east for Henry Williams the
Mongrel . ' candidate for Supreme Judge,
