o the Great Struggle between Liberty
and Despotism for the last
Ilaadred rears.
THE REPUBLICANS TRUE TO FANNY WRIGHT,
TH EIR LEADER,
Miss Fanny Wright, the social reform
er, the first public preacher of negro equal
ity in America, the founder of the "party
of progress, and of grand moral ideas,"
delivered her parting address to her dis
ciples in July, 1830. The scene is thus
described by the New York Inquirer
" The parting address of Miss Fanny
Wright at the Bowery Theatre was a
singular melange of politics and iniquity.
The theatre was very much crowded—
probably a thousand persons were pres
ent. When Fanny first made her appear
ance in this city as a lecturer on the new
order of things, she was very little visited
by respectable females. At her lecture in
the Park Theatre, about half a dozen ap
peared but they soon left the house.—
There was a good deal of theatrical dis
play in her proceedings. In opposing the
sacredness of the Scriptures, and with
holding that volume from the hands of the
people, she has shown some knowledge of
human nature, by substituting something
in its place. On Wednesday evening, a
copy of the Declaration of Independence
on a single sheet was spread upon the ta
ble. When she reached that part of her
address in which her scorn (and it was
bitter enough) was expressed against the
Bible, she exclaimed "this is my text
book," slapping the Declaration of Inde•
pendence, ' this is my ho'y bible—theholy
bible of American independence,and must,
soon be the holy bible of all' the earth."—
This was received by a tremendous_shout
of applause. The bitterness towards
priests, clergy, politicians, colleges, and
the present order of socity, is bold and
palpable. She declaimed with vehemence
against everything religions and orderly.
The great red harlot of infidelity is stalking
over the city, and making rapid progress
her work of ruin. '.Two years ago,'
•ay her followers, twenty persons could
scarcely be found in this city who would
openly avow infidelity,—now we have
t wenty thousand.' "
Americans ! You here behold the lea
der of the " party of progress," every step',
of whose path has been "progress in a
work of ruin." The "great red harlot of
infidelity" was the pitcursor of this great
war, which a pious English divine of the
last century describes as a " fiery dra
g,,n,.a full figure of Satan broke loose,and
fighting against every redeeming virtue
of the Lamb of God."
These infidel lectures in the Park and
Bowery theatres of New York, and the
Fanny Wright societies formed in the
Eastern states, were the' forerunners and
direct cause of the assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln in Ford's theatre in the capi
tal of the nation. The negro school of
Fanny Wright in Memphis, Tennessee,
was the foundatidn of the freedmen's bu
reau, all over the South, and the war of
races at Memphis and New Orleans, are
but the outbursts of the second scene of i
St. Domingo—the natural and sure re
sults of the teachings of the French phi
losophy.
Fanny Wright, the infidel reformer,
threw away the Bible with bitter scorn,
and took the Declaration of Independence
as a subMitute therefor. The Republi
cans are true to her teachings. They de
clare that this war upon the South was to
compel the Southern people to receive the
Declaration of Independence as the stand
ard of all truth ; and they claim to be in- I
fallible interpreters of that truth. The es
tablishment of the Republican party over
this nation is the establishment of the
great dogma which they will force the
whole nation to accept—that of negro
equality. This dogma they do not pre
tend to find in the Bible, but in the Dec
laration of Independence, which says "all
men are created equal."
Hon. Benjamin Wade, who is to take
the place of President JAnson, if the im
peachment managers win the victory, says
to bps great speech last October :
" How is it that the Republican party
to-day are reigning triumphantly over the
once proud Democratic party ? It is ; be
cause God is just, and because the Reptib-'
lican`party have traveled (progressed) ac
cording to the dictates and principles laid
down by Him, while the Democratic par
ty have served the devil. Now that may
be a harsh expression, but it is literally
true."
Thiiitif.glaihe at/demi:mil is well fitted
to serve the' ptrpolie 64 . - the
,Republicans,
who will use him gamy as au instrtan - ent
to consummate their designs. The Dem i
ocrats have served the devil, and of course
are heretics worthy of death, 'because
thdy don't believe in Fanny Wright. 111 r.
Wade says, " Why don't the Demo
crate try to find but what: has dwindled
them down to nothing, and bUili . us up a
power ?"
The true answer to this question was
given two years ago by ThaddetniStevinif.
He said if the Union was restored the
Democrats would come into p,conrer; and
the Republicans would be • driven' out, , a.
therefore the Democrats mtlirt be actin
L'.4l r.f.'
chised, and the negrpes tabs their plice.
Bat Mr. Wade says :.
k, It is the great spirit of• righteousness
permeating and pervading the Republi
can party. The Democrats don't seem to
understand why they have becomea hiss
ing. hnd ft by-Word among men. Why is
it ? It is becanse they have departed
from every principle of Republicanism.—
They pretended to act upon the principles
of Thomas • Jefferson—glorious old patri
ot. I revere him as much as the best of
them. He laid down the principles we
have taken up, and carried forward so tri
umphantly (slaughtering a million of hu
man beings in the progress), because they
were founded in 'righteousness, and with
the favor of Almighty God; that is why
we are triumphant, and why we shall not
fail. If the Democrats gain the victory,
they must plant their batteries very high
—they Must storm the Sebastapol of the
Almighty, and shell Him from His throne,
before their principles 'can: predominate."
In the next number ^we will prove that,
if Thomas Jefferson's, principles were car
ried out there would not be a negro left,
in the United States ; that he repeatedly
declared that if they were set free and left.
among the people of the South, a war of
races would begin, which would never
end but in the extermination of oneor the
other race. If Thomas Jefferson's princi
ples were founded in righteousness, as
Mr. Wade affirms ' then he and his party
are committing blasphemy in such asser
tions as the above, and are the followers
indeed of the "great red harlot, of infidel
ity," which appeared in the form of a fe
tna.e named Fanny Wright, who came to
preach the gospel of Robespierre to the
benighted Americans, and indoctrinate
them with the "idea" of negro equality,
discarded by all the patriots of 1776.
What Hinders Them.
• What binders the Radicals in Congress
from thrusting
,ne.,, , rro equality upon us in
the North precisely as they do with the
aid of the army in. the South ?
Nothing else. They encounter no dan
gers, :it present, the South, with the
Southern whites disarmed and military
and nemro power guided by Radical can
ning, holding down and preventing all
attempts of white men to free themselves
front a hated thraldom. Give these Rad- .
icals au inch they Will take an eel. -Give
them the apparent support of Northern
people iu favbr of their extreme measures
and they will do precisely the same in the
North as they are now doing in the South.
The remedy is iu the hand of the people of
the 'North. Let our reprehension of this
vile unconstitutional tyranny go on as it
has commenced, and• the cowardice of
Radical tyrants will soon show itself, and
the cure for the present misrule begin, and
never cease till Radicalism is buried.
JOSEPUINE.—So far as the intrinsic in
terest of the facts is concerned upon which
Miss Muhlbach bases her story, this la
test production of her pen may be said to
rival any of its predecessors. Nowhere
in all history is there a tragedy so sweet
and sad as that, of Josephine—woman,
wife, empress, and worse than widowed.
The skilful romancer has gathered the
facts from all known sources, and woven
them into a• compact and glaaming web.
Miss Muhibach is accused of high coloring;
but what tints can be too bright or too
dark by contrast for the light and shade
of such a marvellously chequered career as
Josephinif's? This tale isrwell translated
and the graceful, characteristic style of the
author duly preserved. In the art. of gen
tly beguiling the reader from page to
page by the charm of style, Miss Muhl
bach has no superior living ; though, in
this instance, the dramatic arrangement
of the stirring incidents is so ingenious
and captivating that a more barren style
would still have left the work highly in
teresting. We are glad to see the " Em-
Tress Josephihe" worthily illustrated.
here can be no disputing about the
claims of such lovely designs as the vig.
nette. Marie, Antoinette, the night be
fore her execution, the beautiful Hortense
meditating in a garden, the divorced Em
press, and, Josephine's stolen interview
with the little Napoleon. Gaston Fay is
the author " these exquisite sketches,
and, unless we mistake, he has the stuff in
him for the making of a first class reputa
tion.

MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1868.
The Cannibals of Africa.
M. du Chaillu gives the following sketch
of a cannibal tribe of Atrica, called the
Fans : •
I never before saw snob wild men. They
were all armed to the teeth with spears,
poisoned arrows and knives. Their bod
tee were tatooed all over, their teeth were
dyed black, and they looked more like
ghosts than men. On the ground were
skulls of dead men, and bones were scat
tered all through the streets. The women
were the ugliest I ever saw, and were
smaller than the men. The king did not
want to see me, being afraid that he should I
die if he saw a spirt. The men did not
seem afraid, but the women did. I saw
one of the latter run into one of the huts
with the leg of a man just cut off. This
made me feel uncomfortable, and my on
ly consolation was, that I was very thin,
and not worth much for eating. At length
the king came to me, surrounded by his
warriors. He was dressed with the skins
of wild beasts, and held a spear in his
hands. He looked at me with wonder,
and I did the same with him. He said he
was not aft-aid of me when surrounded by
his warriors. I put a bold face on it., and
said that spirits were never afraid, also.
They gave me a hut to sleep in, but I did
not sleep that night—the woman with the
leg depressed my spirits. In the morning
when I arose and went out at the back
door, I met with a grand reception. Can
nibals from every part of the country had
come to see me. They got accustomed to
me iu time, and I to them, and we became
the best of friends. After a few days the
queen came to see me. She was a lovely
creatnre—teeth sharpened to a point—
body tattooed all over. Cooked plantains
were brought me to eat. I told them I
never ate cooked food, for I was afraid
that men's flesh had been cooked in the
same pot before. The cannibalism of
the people is of the worst kind. They
eat the bodies, not of their enemies only,
but also of their own people. A man,
however, does not eat the body of one of
his own family, but families exchange
their dead with each other. In one case
that I knew of, a corpse, five days dead
was sold for food. They like their game
high. They all agree that a woman is
tenderer than a man—not the heart mere
ly, but the whole body. Boys, too, are
tender, but. old men very tough. I my
self could see no diffeence in the appear
ance of the flesh of the men and that of
the gorilla, except that it was a little fin
er in texture.
But in spite of their cannibalism, they
are in many respect& the finest tribe in
that country. Their houses are built low,
not more than five feet in height, on ac
count of the tornadoes. The Walls are
made of the bark of trees; they have a lit
tie door in front and a back door, but no
windows. Polygamy is common among
them, and the more wives a man has the
happier he seems to be. Slavery is known
but is not much practiced, because men
are scarce, and they prefer to eat them
rather than make slaves of them. They
work iron in the most beautiful manner,
make knives, spears, and very sharp axes.
They are exceedingly given to fighting,
hence their fondness of working in iron,
and their aptness at it. Nothing from
the coast reaches them, except a few
beads and pieces of copper. They cover
the handles of their knives with skin ta
ken from the bodies of men. On parting
the King had made me a present of one
of these; it had belonged to his father, and
was covered with human skin.
One day, as I was lying in a forest, I
got waked up by an army of bashiquas—
a strange kind of ant. I was so. much
bitten by them that I was half dead. An
antelope had been killed the day before
by King Bongo, which I had intended to
eat. But it was now covered with, oh,
millions of ants ! They are the most won
derful insects in the forest. They are the
plague and dread of every living thing.
When they attack a village the people
have to light fires, pour hot water around,
and strew burning ashes around to get
rid of these little beasts. They are real
ly wonderful—always in single line, and
sometimes the line is miles upon miles in
length. The line is generally two inches
in breadth, there are officers-throughout
the entire length keeping watch, so that
none of these ants get out of line. I
watched a line passing one particular
spot, and it was twelve hours before the
last of those ants had passed. And as
they go through the forest, at a certain
signal they spread themselves out and at
tack everything that comes out in their i
way. They will even go to the tops of
trees; and the insects and everything else
fly away before them. Elephants, ante
lopes, gazelles, snakes,' scorpions, all run
away as fast as they can. In fact, many
a time have I been warned ofqbe coming
of these bashiquas by the insects and oth
er creatures flying away in an opposite
direction. I got ready , for them by hay- I
ing the fires lighted. They are the most.
voracious little creatures you can imagine.
If they found a dead elephant on their
line of march they would attack it, and in
a very short time nothing would be left
but the bones. Sometimes the chiefs will
have a man tied up to a tree, and in an
hoar or two nothing would be left of him
but the skeleton. They certainly are the
most voracious creatures I ever saw. One.
singular circumstance connected with
them is; that they are afraid of the sun.
If they come to a part of the forest where
the sun is shining, they dig a tunnel un
der the spot and pass it by that means,
and so continue their march through the
forest, in a single file, as before.
Is General Grant a Drunkard ?
This important and interesting conun
drum is now going the rounds of the rad
ical press—"ls General Grant a drunk
ard ?" The Independent says he is : the
Anti-Slavery Standard says he is; the Rev
olution declares that-he is a drunkard; all
of which is direct-testimony that General
Grant is a drunkard. But the Tribune is
the most willing of all these witnessss.
We find in that journal yesterday an ac
count, of an interview with the President,
whetein General Grant's habits, in respect
of inebriation, were fully discussed, and
from which we learn that the President,
in his trip to the West, "didn't drink as
much as one or two others about whom
nobody" (excepting the editors of the
Tribune, Independent, Revolution, and 8o
on) " dares to say a word." The Tribune
further intimates that when General Grant
left the Presidential party at Cleveland it
was not because the General was disgus
ted with the President's politics, for in
fact" he wasn't in condition to know much
about politics just then." To besure, the
Tribune has heretofore taken the other
view of this affair at the West., but then
it has expressed diametrically opposite
opinions in the same week with regard to
its own circulation in that region. But in
respect of Gen. Grant's drunkenness the
Tribune is explicit; it publishes the state
ment that the General has called on the
President "so drunk that he couldn't
stand on his legs; bpt that is nothing;
Grant_at the head and front of the Cran
berry patch party " couldn't stand on his
legs" in Connecticut last Monday; only it
is cruel for the Tribune to mention it.
But it is magnanimous in the Tribune to
come to the defence of the President
against like charges, though it cruelly
stabs Grant in this very defence. " Some
men," says the story in the Tribune," will
be amused like the devil" (the Tribune
might have drawn it a little milder, but
its loss of subscribers in the " Land of
steady habits" has made the journal reck
less) " for drinking a glass of whisky and
water, while others in equally important
stations may almost roll in the gutters,
and not a word is said about it," excepting
in such journals as the Independent and
Tribune. " Some" means the President;
"others" is an allusion to General Grant.
But seriously, is this fair warfare on the
part of the Tribune against General Grant?
If he is really the staggering and gutter
rolling drunkard the Tribune shows him
to be, ordinary charity should cover the
shame with silence.— World.
The Radicals Exposed.---Speech of
General Carey.
Ron. Sarpuel F. Carey, of Ohio, has oft
en been heard on the stump in this State,
in opposition to the Democratic party.
He was one of the most popular and ef
fective Republican speakers in the coun
try, drawing large audiences wherever he
went, and arousing to a high point the
enthusiasm of his hearers.
Last, fall be was elected Member of Con
gress from the Cincinnati district, on au
independent ticket. His course in Con
gress has been such as to meet the appro
val of the masses who voted to send him
there.
On Monday he was in Cinncinati, on
a flying visit, and his friendsgave him a
splendid ovation at the Opera louse. The
immense hall was filled to overflowing
with earnest men, anxious to express their
satisfaction of the course of their faithful
representative.
Mr. Carey's speech was a scathing ex
pose of the radicals in Congress. He glo
ried in the fact that he voted against im
peachment—a measure that was carried
through by Caucus dictation, as were all
the other measures affecting the interests
and character of the nation.
"Let the result be what it may, the
time will come when every man, I care
not to what party be belongs, will see that
this is a terrible wrong and fearful prece
dent. It so happened that I was the on
ly Republican member who voted against
the impeachment.' This, I suppose, was
because I was not in caucus, and I don't
intend to be while I live; and I am happy
to know that there were men who were
in the caucus and voted for the impeach
ment, who are now heartily sorry for the
act. One of the best and purest men in
the House, after the articles were passed,
came and sat down by me and said : 'Ca
ry, your vote on the question was right.
I would rather have given my right arm
than vote as I did." Oh, thetyranny and
despotism of party 1"
He said if the people could have seen
the indecent haste with which the impeach
went resolution was hurried ehrough, how
like a mob it was carried in the house of
Representatives, they would have felt
ashamed of our National Legislature.
Alluding to the fact thdt President
Johnson is impeached for trying to follow
the advice given to Mr. Lincoln by Sum
ner, Wade and others, in the case of
Montgomery Blair, General Cary said;
" I say he ought to act upon their ad
vice- For no matter whether the'Presi
dent is a Democrat or Republican, his ad
visers should be in harmony with him.
He should not have a man in his Cabinet
who refuses to speak to him, and who
will not sit in the Cabinet council.
The President had not violated the ten
ure of office law. He did not appoint
Stanton. He had only done what every
President before him had done, and if An
drew Jackson had been President, Stanton
would have been kicked out of the war of
6ce long ago. Stanton ought to have re
signed when Sherman and Grant both ad
vised him to do so. But Sumner and
Wade said stick !"
The Radicals sought not only to strike
down the President, but to destroy the
Supreme Court, and build up an oligar
chy. They were already distrusting chief
Justice Chase, and some of them were
saying if Chase did not " stand up in this
hour of trial, d n him, we will im
peach him." .
The only reason these hot heads could
give for impeaching the President was
that he had betrayed his party—and that
he ought - to have been kicked out long
ago. The whole moyement was purely
political, and the nation was to be con
vulsed and disgraced to gratify the ambi
tion of designing and aspiring men ! Im
peachment, in any case, was a dangerous
precedent, and we might better bear the
ills we have than fly to others we know
not of—Johnson was not guilty of high
crimes and misdemeanors under the Con
stitution.
If Benjamin F. Wade recorded his vote
on impeachment, he ought to be spit up
on and hissed by all the civilized world.
" I believe there are Senators who will
not be willing to put their names on the
roll of infamy by impeaching the Presi
dent. They will not be willing for their
children to read in history that their fa
thers, Senators of the United States, sit
ting as a Court of Impeachment, convic
ted a President on mere political grounds
just for the sake of controlling a few of
fices and a little money."
Such was Mr. Carey's position and he
maintained that be was proud ofit. But
his friends had said to him : " Ah, Carey,
you are hopelessly lost—gone over to the
Democrats 1" His reply was : " I stand,
my countrymen, where I have always
stood, upon the side of the right, as an in
dependent man, and there I intend to
stand as long as I live. He said we were
standing upon the threshold of revolution.
ary times, and that whatever the result of
impeachment might'be, he called upon the
people to vindicate their rights and inter
ests. The workingmen of the country
must step forth and protect their own
rights.
Remarks of Rom, Chas. E. Boyle.
In order that the readers of the Demo
crat may understand the position occu
pied by one of the men selected as a stan
dard bearer of the Democracy, we give
the remarks of our candidate for Auditor
General, which he delivered at his home
in Uniontown, in response to a serenade.
With such men as representatives of our
principles, we cannot fail to command
success in October and November in the
old Keystone State. After a few local re
marks, specially designed, for his neigh
bors and friends, he said :
Gentlemen, we stand upon the thresh
old of the most momentous political strug
gle in which the people of this country
have ever been engaged. It differs from
all that have preceded it in this; that
while they involved questions of govern
mental policy, many of them, it is true,
vastly important, upon the result of this
depends the existence of the government
itself. It is not now a question what the
government shall do, but rather whether
it shall be preserved from destruction.
It is evident that the party which sup
ports Congress is carrying forward a rev
olution. The Constitution of our fathers
established a government of three distinct
branches—each supreme within its own
domain, and each intended to operate-as a
balance to the other. The powers of each
were clearly limited and defined; and un
til within a brief period, therights of each
were scrupulously respected by the oth
ers. But the party against which we are
contending, fatally bent upon its perpet
uation and aggrandizement, and finding
itself unable to obtain control of two of
the branches of the government, is at
tempting to concentrate in the one which
it does control, all the power which should
be distributed among the three. Con
gress enacts laws plainly unconstitutional,
and then undertakes to deprive the courts
of their clear right to so declare them. It
strips the President of powers conferred
upon him by the Constitution, and assum
es them itself,,or bestows them upon its
adherents. Not content with that,. it
prefers articles of impeachment against
him, puts him on trial for the commission
of no offence; and not improbably will de
prive him of his office and fill it with one
of its own members. It has even been i
proposed to abolish the office altogether.
It dissolves the Union by not of Congress,
after it was preserved by the best blood !
of the land. It destroys ten States, some
of them of the original thirteen, and
usurps the powers which belonged to
them alone. It refuses admission to Sen.
store and Representatives for the illegal.'
commission of offences, and
. immediately.''
thereafter admits its own partisans, noto
riously guilty of the same acts.
i VOLUME XXV, NUMBER 18. ‘
This, I say, is revolution—this destroys
the government of the Constitution, and
sets upon another totally unlike it. Shari
this revolution be consummated, or will
the people arrest it, and restore and4irel
serve the government of the fathers, the
establishment of which has always" been
regarded as the grandest achievement of
human wisdom ? There are other great,
questions in volved in this great struggle
—none greater have ever been passed up=
on by the American people—but this one
overshadows them alt. Shall the revolu
tion be arrested ? Shall the government
be preserved ?
I wish to speak with no unnecessary
asperity of those who hold opinions dif.
ferent from my own. There are good
men, and honest men, and men who love
their country devotedly who do not view
the coming struggle as we do. If we are
right let us hope that reflection will show
them their error, and the evils likely to
result therefrom, before it is too late,
The " Israelite," the Western organ or
the Jews, has dragged to the light, the
well remembered order of General Gratit
in relation to that class of people. It calls
upon the Jews throughout the nation to

who will give his support to a man wha
