TO OUR ADVERTISERS.
We publish, from week to week, a number of
advertisements of Real Estate, Executors' and
Administrators' Notices, Orders of Court, Sze.,
for which the parties interested could just as
ire't pay the mrsh as not but witch, from the
habit of the thing, they tell us to charge to their
accounts, where they generally remain from three
to six and twelve months, and often longer, be
fore payment. Now, when we state that all our
expenses have to be met with cask—tbsti not a
sheet of paper is used in our office until it is paid
for—and that those who wort: for us nerd their
wages every Saturday night; it may be imagin
ed that we often stand in need of the money that
this advertising should bring us. Acy one wilt
understand that it is no easy matter to comply
with the •• cash system" in what he buys, and at
the same Limo allow the credit system" on
what he earns. In these days of universal cash
payments, it will not be considered unreasonable
in the printer to remind his friends that he is no
exception to the rule. We therefore hope our
customers will, in all cases where it may lie con
venient, favor us with the ea,b for their adver
tising favors, instead of having theta charged.
We have no disposition to be doss-fisted or die
obliging; but mulie this request simply es a
.business necessity," of which all should see t be
force.
I.I . SOOusTI'MPIONALITIt OP TEM CON.CR!PTION
ACT.—lmportant Dceifion of Cie Supreme Court of
Pennxyluania.—ln the Supreme Court of Buie
State, at Pittsburgh, on Tuesday last, Chief Jim
Lice Lowrie rendered a decision in the mn.ter of
the application of three drafted men belonging
to Philadelphia, who filed bills in Equity to test
the constitutionality alba Conscription act. The
applications were for injunctions to restrain the
Government officers from sending the complain
ants into the military service. The Chief Justice
decided the act. of Congress unconstitutknal, and
granted preliminary injunctions in each case.
Concurrent opinions were read by Justices Wood
ward and Thompson, and dissenting opinions by
Justices Strong and Read.
Justice Woodward sums up his opinion in the
following words
" I rest my objections to its constitutionality
upon these grounds:
" lst. That the power of Congress to raise and
support armies does not include the power to
draft the militia of the States.
..t2d. That the power of Congress to call forth
the militia cannot be exercised iu the forms of
this enactment.
" 3d. That a citizen of Pennsylvania cannot be
subjected to the tules and articles of war, until
lie is in sternal military service.
"4dt That he is not placed in such aClnat
service when his name has been drawn from a
wheel, and ten days' notice thereof has been
served upon him.
" For these reasons I am for granting the in
junetion."
As a majority of the Supreme Bench makes its
decisions, this settles the question of the consti
tutionality of the Conscription Law, unless it be
over-ruled by the Supreme Court of the United
States, or by—the " higher law" of Federal Pio—

DEATH OF AN OLD MERCHANT.-Mr. Thomas
Diehl, who died in Philadelphia on the 7th
at the advanced age of 88 years, was one of the

of business. He reached the extreme age of 88
years. For sixty continuous years ho was a
subscriber to this paper. His friendship was
lasting, and very many now in prosperity owe
to his helping baud the foundation of their for

will lament him, though to him death is a gain."

Mir WE ARE BERRY that the figures we pub
lished last week, to show how Curtin was re
elected, have had the unlooked for effect of riling
our friend iiiestand, of the Lancaster Ervnziner,
to such a pitch as to make him forget his ordi—
nary courtesy toward us, and take to calling
maraca. John ought to be in a better humor
after the successes of his party in the late elec
tions, and not allow himself to get savage just
because a poor Democrat attempts to find conso
lation in cyphering out how the votes should
have been counted. John kdows as well as we
do that tt figures won't lie," and if these we
printed happen to show that Curtin's vote was
by far ton large to be accounted for in any rea
atonable way, why the fault is in the fact they
disclose, and net in us. Cheer up, John You
have every thing your own way, now, and

A RADICAL PLATFORM.
A c ~ vention of Fe-called " radical Gent - ISMS"
assetubled at Cieve,land, Ohio, on Saturday, the
17th of last month, nod eat (including Sunday)
until 010 fell wing Wednesday. The. Abolition
newspapers tell us that "the preeuediugu weru
very harmonious, and the debates showed the
most onion! and patriotic zeal. Fifteen States
were represented, including three slave States."
The lel:ening platform was I t :trete , ' by the eon-
vention:
1. I:o.i:why of the Union and subordination of
Itat several States under the sovereignty
of the people of the United States.
2. Ut,eanttitional euppreseion of the rebellion.
At3.2ntlon of slavery in the entire territory
of the United States in the shortest any
4. Revision of the Constitution in the spirit of
the Declaration of Independence.
Trettuteut of the reconquered rebel States
as territories for the purpose of recoil—
struction.
G. Cmion of the confiscated lands in the spirit
of the Homestead Bill, as well as dona
tion of portions of land to the defenders
of the country, of whatever color, and to
the liberated slaves
7. Re-Ai:Allot) of the Monroe doctrine.
S. Alliance with European revolution opirtit
foreign interveni ion.
t. Proreolion of the foaalont of the press and
speech against military usurp:idol.
10. Estatit.liroont of a national military eyr,tera
mih, to the 5 wieft nycicin. Universal
obligatiou for military tervico.
I]. Support of such candidates for publio offices
as stand nearest to the principles laid
down in this platform.
This platform is certainly '•radical" enough
to suit our American statesmen (!) of the Sum
ner, Phillips and Greeley school, to a hair. It is
ns thotottgbly revolutionary in its sentiments
and aitn as the Southern rebellion—and even
more so. Let us scan, for a moment, its several
proposit if/Ile—taking each one separately:
1. This inecus, if any the obliteration
of Skate limes, and the erection of a consolidated
centralized empire, titer Ito modtl of the Euro
pe:le despotisms ; contrary to the idea of Koostil
the I:anarian patriot, wito taw, in our system
of local self-government, at once the secret and
and safesnard of the libolies we enjoyed.
2. This is mere bravado, or else it means war
to the extent of exterminating the whole South
ere people; for no civilized belligerent powers
can mak., pease without agreeing to 80111,C sort of
terms or conditions. Even in our wars with the
Indians, we attempted to enforce no such savage
doctrine as thzir unconditional subjection.
3. This the present Administration is endea
voring to do, as far as Executive Proclamations
and .rbltrrAri milltars orders cam an if. To
sure, the Cons.hoi ion from which it derives oil
the power it possesses, gives it Ur,;ynitiorit y far
any Rich proceeding. But, 'what of that? The
man who rates about obedience to the Consti
tution now, has Leen declared n "tr4 - .3tor" by
11)01 . e than one of Pregitisut Linooln'o mouth.
MZEI
4. After the preceding, proposition, something
like this became iz,cliztpcnsahle. Our "radicni t3er•
tuAtt " Itotteut than many of their
American Abolition allies,—tlefl plainly enough,
and cmfess that "the Cons itation as it, ie "
gives no warrant to Abolitionism, and therefore
they desire its revision " to snit. the times." But,
did it never strike (hero that, as some of tho
men who signed the Deep - ation of Independence
also aided in framing the C.nstilution, and all
the framers of that instrument were the com tem
poraries and fellow-laborers of the signers for
our freedom and intivrendence, they were likely
to have coder Mond •• the spirit of the Decla
ration " petty welt ° It would not ba a violent
prl!.9111111111.11 to think so.
5. That's Stunner's docttine—and radical and
revolutionary enough it. is. Old fogies may argue
that Stater oatet rebel, and mast therefore retain
their municipal existence ; but what of that? In
these war times, " might makes right."
G. Aba! Now we sea the object of the pre
ced kg proposition ! A premy scheme of plund
er and spoliation, truly, for a civilized and
Christian people to engage in ! Why it beats
ail to pieces Alextioder, and Atilln, and Cortez,
and William the Norman, and the whole line of
freebooters whose history is a recold of pillage
and conquest on a scale hitherto considered un•
appreachable by modern Kings and Warriors.
But there is one redeeming, feature in this plan
of wholesale robbery—it admits no distinction
of color in the distribution of the spoils t
7. When the Democratic party held power,
and, acting upon the conviction that in Union
consisted our national strength, made all
other questions subordinate to the preservation of
the Union in its entirety, the Monroe doctrine
was recognized and respected by all foreign pow:
era_ It. will never be realized again, until the
American people are one—art in mere form
of government—but in sentiment, feeling, inter
est, and nationality.
8. Washington and Jefferson, who were gener
ally supposed to know something about what was
best for the seenrlty and perpetuity of the free
dom and independence they assisted to achieve,
taught. a very dffernnt. lesson in regard to Euro
pean alliances. But then, their ideas are not
progressive enough for the present age. And,
after the rebellion is put clown. how shall we em
ploy our big armie.t . , and our immense munitions
of war, if we don't mix in with European revolu-
tionary movements?
9 If the t , radical Germans " are sincere in
This proposition, they must have inl.ended it as
a direct slap at the present Lincoln administra
tion ; for its policy ilati been liter:lly " Suppres—
sion of the freedom of the press nod of speech
by military usurpation."
10. This proposition becomes a necessity if the
Bth be adopted, an d pot in practice. We shall
1144(1 " A hational military system " even more
sorely than we do now, when our "alliance with
European revolution " transforms us into a light
ing- nation.
The "radical Germans" will not bind ;any ex
isting party in this country that. embodies all the
principles laid (town in their platform. But. it
is easy to perceive what party stands nearest
to them. To that, they will doubtless give their
support, as they have done in times pest. Can
any one tell us, though, hew the integrity of the
Union is to be t•eototed, nod free government
preserved and perpetuated, by the success of
principles so diametrically opposed to the tradi
tional American school of politics ?—principlee
which, in their very essence and design, are
agrarian and destructive,when the country now
needs, of all things, a spirit of wise moderation
and conservatism.
A DP:310011AM CoNaltnet3l4l7 ELECTRD.—At
the recent election in New York, the pemnerata
elected John V. L Proyn, Eoq , one of the ablest

FATAL EXPLOMON.—On Wednusday morning,
4th inst., an explosion occurred or the powder

a short distance below Norristown, Pa., resulting
fatally to Mr. Henry Leihort, and 'William P.
Reiff, both well known and respected oitizens of
Norristown.
A MOCKERY OF FREEDOM
Tie late election iu Maryland airorda a glaring
instance of federal disregard of Slate rights and
interference withfree elections. Bach voting
place was surrounded by soldiers, Who were un
der orders to prevent all persons suspected of
" disloyalty " from giving in their ballots; I'M
a test oath was also prescribed, which every
voter was obliged to take. The soldiers acted
se judges of the t , loyally " of the. eitimur, ! Of
course, under such a regime, only one side voted,
and the consequence was, the election of four
out of the Sic Lincoln candidates for Congress.
In one district there would seem to he no •loyal"

Maryland, Mr. Bradford, an undoubted Union
man, wrote a letter of remonstrance lo the Pre
sident. against this exercise of tyranny, but ra
dioed very little satisfaction; and at length,
unable to do anything else, ho solemnly protest
ed against it, in the name of the people of his
State, by a stirring and sensible proclamation.

Maryland, forbade the publication of the procla
mation, food sent Ms soldiers, with bayonets
fixed, to prevent freemen from voting. If it
were not so serious a stretch of arbitrary power
as to amount to a gross outrage, we should cad
the Maryland election, under influences lilts
these, a farce.

Mijf:DER IN CARMN CoctTr.—On Thursday
evening, sth inst., Mr. George K. Smith, a mem
ber of a coal firm operating , at Yorktown, in
Carbon county, was deliberately murdered in his
own house, at that. place. It appears, from the
best information that we have been able to oh
toia, that four men called at bis house and stated
that they had a letter which they were required
to deliver in person to Mr. S. On his coming
down from an upper room, he was fired upon and
instantly killed, One of his clerks then made
his appearance and fired upon the assassins,
wounding, as he supposed, one of them. In turn
he was fired upon and wounded. Several bails
also passed through Mrs. Smith's dress. The
party then tied. It is said that Mr. Smith had
provoked the hostility of the miners by giving
information to the Provost Marshal which en•
ebled him, with the military under Captain
Yates, to find the drafted men.
A.:3 it wz,s feared a riot would vomit from this
trouble, a large number of soldiers were imme

operators closed their mines, but up to this time
no further violence has been committed.

etaughter." The substnee of the evidence in the cape, to
thus given in Mr. Louie Itiebardr's report for the Time;:
The defendant was esperintendent of iron mines near
Wornertiville, in bower Heidelberg township, and boarded
at Speegter's tavern, in that place. Ou the svenhig of the
21th of April Met, ou returning from, work he found a
crowd at toe tavern. Among than woe a man named Jo
lieph Pow, who was considerably intoxicated- Fox com
menced an altercation with lisanpman, alleging that he
owed him twenty live cants, which Datupman denied.
Datupmee, to quiet biro, at last dlstoted tne landlord to
pay him Z. 5 cents, which he did. Foir:"howevr, continued
bin abusive le ague go, and on going towards uninfman in
a menacing manner, the latter raised a pistol and warned
him to heap oil or be would blow hie brains out. The
landlord then interfered. Fox thereupon went back to the
bar from a neat neer the window where Damffman was,
threw off his hat, coat and vett, advanced towards him,
flouriabi on his hits, struck him a blow ou the forehead and
grasped him by the throat, nearly throwing him from hie
chair. Dam puma regained lila feat end the parties scuttled
°ace or twice around the room. One Solomon Siegfried—
a friend of Datopmao—advanced to separate them, and
caught hold of Fox At that moment, the platol held by
Dempinan was discharged. The hell grazed tux and Ca
tered Siegfried's right side below the ribs. From the ef
fects of this welled ;deeded died upon the worth day

The defence allowed in evidence that Thunman had al
ways been a sober, peaceable awl ittettenW,ve MOM,
The rote wee tiled by Marlin Attorney Ermoatront and
Henry Van heed, Req., for the Commonwealth, and by J.
S. Eichaide and John Beeke, Detre., for the defence.
Judge Woodward charged the jury shout 9 o'clock ou
Saturday night, and half an hear afterward they came in
to Court with the verdict above elated.
A motion fors new trial was made by Dampman's coun
sel, and argued oa Thersda , .. Thoy took the ground that
the evidence was not of such a character as to warrant a
conviction, as it clearly allowed that the plepol was tired
in self defence t and it was admitted that defendant bad
na intuition of doing Siegfried any Injary, and that the
'rag should have acquitted the defendant under the law
of the case as laid down by the Court. The motion was
overruled, and Jacob Dareprnan was then sentenced to pay
a floe of $lOO tviih the coated prosecution, and to undergo
an imprison meat of 2 years, In solitary confinement at
