It will no longer•be denii , d that we live in revolutionary times. The whole coun try is rocking and reeling as if an earth quake in its terrible course was passing over it. The government, framed by our lathers, and cemented bythe blood of the bravest men and the Entreat patriots the world ever "kavrT no longer eommands tiiti love, respect and veneration of .the whole American-people. A party has obtained possession of power which ranks Stevens and Sunnier above Washington, Jefferson and Madison, and is willing to barter the priceless inheritance`: of constitutional rights, civil law, and :-nationat prosperity, for the idle. fancies of humanitarian dream ers. Old laws, ancient customs, prece dents made precious by the accumulated wisdom of years, are scoffed at; the decis ions of wise, learned, and pure judges treated .as the babble of gossips, and the history of other countries unheeded. The whole land is cursed , witn thisTevolution , ary spirit, and Congress is leading the , connate and pushing on the attack. In order to measure the full force of the revolution which, is. upon tthe country, let us look at some of the iunovatoins already made upon the Constitution and our re publican form of government. The Con stitution declares that the house of Rep resentatives shall be eutntiosed 'of mem bet s chosen every second year by the peo ple of the several States. This :provision of the fundamental law ofthe nation is en tirely ignored. Ten States have no rep resentation at all. The Constitution says the Senate shall be composed of two Sen ators from each State. dThe, revolution has made a nullity of this plain provision of the fundamental law of the land. Rep resentatives and direct taxes, shall be ap portioned among the several States. So says the Constitution. And yet this duty is ignored by the revolutionary body which has usurped the whole government of the United States. According to the Constitution, the President is the Com mander in Chief the army and navy of the United States. The revc,luiion has blotted out this portion of that instrument and reduced,the President to a mere sun ordinate. The Constitution says the ju dicial power of the United States shall be vested in the Supreme Court. But Con (Tress is about to assume the functions of that branch of the government, by put ting it in the power...of two judges topre vent any law passed by the National Leg : . islature from being declared unconstitu tional. The United States is required by the Constitution to !guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of government. Instead of doing this, the: 0 revolutionists in power havedeprived ten States of a republican form of government entirely, and erected amtilitary despotism in its place: - These are soni4: of the foot prints of revolution, ; and yet the people slumber, and will not heed the warning of those who proclaim the danger by which the ohtion is'stirrciunded. 'What are the present •effecta of this revolution ? A divided country, States' denied theit just and'eouttitutional rights under the Federal compact, civil courts broken up, governors of States driven from power by Federal bayonets, negroes elevated to seats of trust, honor, and re sponsibility; constitutions forced upon the majority by the pets of a minority, busi ness destroyed, trade blotted out, the products Of the South redneed, and the people of that section starving. - '''A'step further, and we meet a war or races, ne groes murdering white men, outraging white mothers.' and .

MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, JAN. 28, 1868. Angling for Dog I Brick Pomeroy tells the following: Another time we were traveling on grounds., we had no right to tramp over. The only excuse was like that of military necessity--rit was better fishing through thelarins Where the trout had been pre served than in the open lots where all could fish. It was early morning. We had risen at three, ridden ten miles, and struck the creek as the trout were ready break fast— Lookiug carefully for a mbeltered pine to hitch our horses, we slyly crept. on behind fences, etc., till we reached the part of the stream not generally fished. A farm house stood a quarter of a mile away. We'riaii , the morning smoke cur ling lightly from a stove pipe—saw a man and two boys come out to do chores—saw two women busy about the door, and a ferocious bull dog wandering about the yard. ever we fished close, it was then. Not a whisper to disturb the birds, or the owner of the land. We crawled through the-grass—dodged behind clumps of al ders, and lifting large speckled beauties out of the water till our basket was full. This was the time to have gone ; but the trout were so large and bit so readily, that we could not withstand the tempta tion, so we decided to string and hide what we had, and take another basketful. So at it we went. No sooner would the hook touch the water than we bad a trout. We forgot the house, the man, the boys and the dog! Suddenly there was a rushing through an oat field, as if a mad bull were coming! We looked towardthe house, and saw the farmer and his two boys on a fence, the women in the door, and the hull dog bounding toward us. We saw it all—we had been discovered. The well trained dog had been sent to hunt ns out, and, as the matter appeared, it was safe to bet he was doing that thing right lively. To out run a dog was not to be thought of. There was no time to lose. He clear ed a fence, came fur us just as we reached a front seat on,a limb above his reach. Here was a precious go ! A vicious bull dog under the tree, and a farmer and two big boys ready to move down upon our works. It was fight, foot race, or fangs The farmer yelled to his dog—" Watch him, Tige !" Tide proposed to that little thing, and keeping his eyes ou us, seated himself un der the tree. Then spike ^this ugly farmer man— " Just hold on thar, stranger, till we get breakfast; then we'll come and see you ! If you are in a hurry, however, you can go now ! Wa.ch him, Tige I" We surmised trouble—quite much; for twice had that bold man of bull dugs and agriculture elegantly woTloped innocent tourists fOr being seen on his suburban. • • prefnises. His reputation as a peace man was not good; and there arose a large heart toward onr throat ! Time is the essence of contracts, and the saving ordinance fur those in :trouble. We had a stout line in our coat pocket and a large hook intended for rock bassif we failed to take .trout. And, as good luck would, have it, we had a nice sand wich and a piece of boiled corned beef in our other pocket f .' 'e called. the dog pet names, but be wasn'i'on it I ,Then we tried to move down whenhe'd move up! At last we trebled our basi line, fastened the great limerick to k, baited it with the corned beef, tied the end of the line to a limb,, and angled fur dog ! Tige was in appetite. He smelt of the 'beef; it was very nice. He swallowed it and sat still with his 'eyes on us for more, but with no friendly look beaming from his countenance. Not any ! When- we pulled gently on the line—it was fast ! Tige yanked and pulled, but 'twas no use ! The''attention of the ca • nine was diverted from us--his business was being done by another line ! We quickly slid down the tree—com ing near blistering our back doing it— seized the basket and pole, and straight. way went thence somewhat lively. We found our string of fish, and reach ed the buggy and a commanding spot in the road, in time to see the sturdy yeo man move forth. We saw him and his cohorts, male and female, move slowly, as if in no haste. We saw them look up the tree. We eaw an anxious group engaged abdtit the dcg. We came quickly home, and kindly Jett the bass line and hook to the farmer. A Trap for a General. The new amendment to the Recon struction acts, which have been, ~so often amended before, proposes to put aside the Supreme Court as an interpreter of the laws, and the President as the executor of them, in order that Congress may ab sorb into itself all the functions of Gov ernment. It has therefore evinced such superior wisdom,in the restoration of the late insurgent States, and in the manage ment of finanee and taxation, that it thinks nothing less than universal power its due. While it proposes to forbid the judicia ry to pronounce an opinion on certain subjects, it also declares the number of vote&firbeach by which any 'opinion' is to -be held as valid. Twothirda or judo RIM es—not a majority of them—must concur in pronouncing upon the constitutional merits of any law; that is, two thirds this month, but, as ongress regulates the matter, it may be three fourths next, month, and the month after unanimity. In other words the decisions of the high est judicial tribunal will be made to'take their complexion from the politics of the legislative department. By the organic law, the President of the United States is made the Comman der in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States; but that is an antiquated law, and Congress proposes to set it aside by enacting a law of its own " sovereign will"—as the impeachment report would say—conferring the power upon our prin cipal general. Asa soldier of great dis tinction and merit, he is ordered to begin with an act of insubordination towards his chief whose authority he is to disre gard, and assume the character of milita ry dictator in ten at least of the States of the Union.—N. Y. Post, Radical. Naturalized Citizens.—Position of the • Democratic Party concerning their Rights. Meetings are being held in vartotts-cit ies fur the purpose of asserting the - rights of naturalized citizens. There is nothing new in the claims made for the protection of this class of persons. The Democratic party has always maintained that ,the government was in duty bound to pro tect them wherever found. A happy allusion was made to the po sition of the Democratic party and of the United States government under Demo cratic control by Hon. Marshal B. Cham plain during the debates in the Constitu tional Convention. While speaking against the unjust and odious discrimina tion against adopted - citizens contained in . Greeley's report on suffrage, in alluding to Governor Marcy's demand of Martin Koszta, while held by a foreign power in the port of Smyrna, - he said : " 'What is this sacred right of citizen ship imputed the power of this Constitu tion ? Is it a right that can be hawked at and torn away by State authority ? Sir, in the better days of the Republic, there was a man who wawa political ex ile from his own country where he had followed the flag of liberty until it 'went out in the night of despotism. He made this country his asylum. He aftewards wandered abroad, and in the port of Smyr na ho was seized by the tyrannical hand of Austria for his political offense. He had then done nothing, but declare his in tention to become a citizen of the United States. But what was the notion of our government ? In tones as clear 415 the notes of a silver trumpet, which thrilled and electrified the nation, the right of nationality was asserted. His cry, though feeble and far off, fell upon the quick ear of a great people, and the arm of this . mighty republic was stretched forth Vi succor him, and at the mouth of the can non he was surrendered from the prison ship in which he was confined. The prin ciple of this nationality, with which the citinnisinvested, is, that 'as long as he can discern every Star in its place upon the ensi n , be cannot wander so far from his country and his home in any legiti mate pursuit, but that he carries with him and , is protected by his panoply of nation ality, and the ruthless hand of tyranny and oppression 'Cannot be laid Upon him with impunity. It is kindred to that other great national principle that tholleck of an American vessel is as sacred as the soil of the Union, and the 'colors that float at the mast head are the credentials of our seamen !" This covers the whole ground. Marcy's great manifesto settled the whole ques tion and all that is now necessary, is for the government to act up to the noble precedent established in the Koszta case.— Albany Argu;i. Systematically Sold. Two gentlemen from New York, one of whom had been in California nearly a year, and the other just, arrived, were an cidentally overheard in the following con versation at. the Sutter House, Sacramen to. The new corner was lamenting his condition, when he asked the other if he had a family. " Yes, sir, I have a wife and six chil dren in New York, and never saw one of them." After this, the ,couple sat a few mo ments in silence, and then the interroga tor again commenced : " Were you ever bliud, sir ? "No Fir." Another lapse of time. "Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in New York and had never seen one' of them ?" "Yes, sir; Iso stated it." Another and a long pause of silence. Then the interrogater inquired : " How can it be, sir, that you 'never saw one of them ?" 41 Why," was the response, -if one of them was born afterneft." Oh ah !" and a general laugh fellow ed.

It was at one time the purpose of Brigham Young to turn a neighboring river to the quarry and thence build a carral on which to transport the atone. _ Quite as interesting as the temple.is the Mormon Tabernacle, which is built for the use of the immense Mormon congre gations which meet every Sunday to hear preaching froth the Prophet Brigham Young and his associated apostles. It is in many respects the most remarkable building on the continent of America. It stands on the Temple Block, west of the Temple.

Each rib has a rise in the centre of 55 feet. The entire Tabernacle consumed 1,500,- 000 feet of lumber in the buildin g . It will seat 10,000 people.
