IT Is NOT all the Southern Democracy
who are incapable of taking° a practical
view of things. Nord than one of their
journals in_Tennewee are now insisting
• upon the maintenance of colored suffrage,
not only as required by good faith, but
because the State would thereby gain two

their ability to control the new element
in .politics.
Tan election of United States Senators
would be such a legislativ . e act as to come
within the restrictions stated by the'At

No suchelection can be legally held im

Either by taking the test oath, or by the

Tan ruler of the English law judges,
Chief ,Justice Cockburn, has made a
timely contribution for the adjustment of
a current atteation of great interest to the
two great nations speaking the English
.longuer, by his recent 'work on the law
relating to subjects and aliens. He urges
thee ivert- man should be free to de
nationalize himself when he pleases, and
to become a citliein wherever he prefers
to reside permanently. And he expressly
denies that the children of British parents
born abroad can legally be held to 'be
British subjects. If this be the law, and
if the right of , expatriationshall be legally
eitablished, it is clear that the two nations
have little now left - for'controversy upon
what has been hitherto regarded as a most
difficult question. •

ably vague, but enough of the truth seems
to have transpired to occasion the most
uneasy apprehensions. Between a tri
fling indisposition, and a sickness so ex
treme that its fatal end can no longer be
avoided, there is with'all crowned heads,
ant especially with an Emperor who is
himself the state, a careful exclusion, as
fel'oe riossitzle, - of the exact situation of
the thvelid' from the public InoWledge.

possible that the true condition of the
Emperor's health is far more critical than

may be probable, but a fatal end to his
illness would not, it is evident, surprise
Europe. And then, what?
MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
When the world shall have evidence
that the Cuban revolt is in the interests of
human freedom, in fact as well as in
name, it will then be quite dine enough
for our Republican Administration to
evince for them an active sympathy.
The Spanish Cortes and people have
adopted a Constitution which forever
abolishes human slavery throughout the
Sitanisii possessions. Were Cuba tranquil,
that Constitution would govern the is
land. \The rebellion stands alone in its
way. If that rebellion be not by intent
in the interests of African slavery, it Is
in fact the only obstacle to the complete
extirpation of ss that system of servitude.
It has been Stated that the insurgents
have proclaimed the freedom of the blacks
ou the island. HOw \ have they supported
this alleged proclamation by subsequent
acts? We hear nothing of any change
whatever in the existing condition of
things, in those large districts where the
insurgents have held an undisturbed au
thority for months. Every slave is a slave
still. No freedmen are reported as !idly
ing under the liberating banners. They
trust to the high-sounding promises of the
leaders of the revolt about as much as
we do. They have no reason to believe
that independence means ‘ emancipation,
and why, then, should th world believe
what nothing goes to prop
The American people rove liberty too
much to restrict its blessings to any color
or race. They have wiped away the
stain of slavery from all their own bor
ders,l and the champions of liberty.
among any other people on the globe,
have no title to our sympathy or aid, until
they prove the sincerity of their devotion
to human freedom by the sincerity Of
their deeds.
Until the Federal Administration shall
have more and clearer proofs—and now
they have not a scintilla of that sort—
that this Cuban insurrection is as faith
fully as avowedly a movement for the
personal freedom of every living indi
vidual upon the island, as well as for
their rights to govern themselves;
until we shall know that. African
shivery has been abrogated there
in fact as well as upon paper, we protest,
in the name of liberty, of a true republi
canism, of the rights of humanity, of the
immeasurable sacrifices which have at
tested the devotion of this people to
the dogma of universal freedom,
against any form of intervention, direct
or indirect, by an Republican Ad
ministration of this American govern
ment, in aid of either an abominable
institution, or of the delusive sham which
affects to disavow it but still maintains
and enforces every odious feature 'of
human slavery. _
We repeat; the adcursed Institution
which it has cost this people so fearfully
to abolish here, exists to•day in Cuba, in
every district, no matter whether under
Spanish or insurgent control, neither re
stricted nor alleviated, but with every
cruel feature known to the former history
of the island.
Words cannot express the shame with
which a free people like ours should con
template any ;possibility that our govern
ment could make the fatal mistake of
taking any part whatever in a slave hold
ing quarrel. When human liberty, un
chained• and universal, shall be seen to
march with either flag, we might find a
plea to justify intervention, but not now.
WHAT OF TO-DAI.
When the reputation of a man for truth
and- veracity is undergoing judicial inves
tigation, no , regard is besto wed upon his
professions or to special incidents and
episodes. The question is novas to what
is peculiar, but as to what Is general.
The worst man may and does utter many
truth's, and even a good man indulges in
exaggerations or falls into mistakes. The
character of a man is necessarily exhibit
ed by the gene . ral course and tendency of
his conduct.
This role holds equally true in dealing
in the aggregations of men, either under
the designation of sects in religion or of
patties in politics. If a wise man wants
to determine the excellency or turpitude
of a party, he will nottook exclusively or
mainly at its professiods of faith as em
bodied in national and State platforms.
However accurately these may sometimes
or oftimes embody the convictions and
purposes of a party, they are ;.not unfre
quently framed under the intention to
mislead; containing ideas and plans
Which are conceived to be popular rather
than those which will be executed should
power be conferred.
It Is fair, then, to maintain that the
Democratic party shall not be judged by
the professions which it now makis, or
the purposes it avows ? Of course, there
are to be taken into the account now as con.
stituting essential parts of the whole; but
only in this way. Nor, is it just or man
ly to deny that during the long period_ in
Which that party was In Dosiesslon of the

sometimes been painted much blacker than
he is. Milton pictured him in speech and
bearing as a gentleman. Most of the
great wits of literature have done the
same.
Excluding, therefore, all that is special,
in the Democratic party, whether of good
or evil, the important question. to be de
cided by the voters of Pennsylvania In
the canvass now progessing, is, what has
been the general drift of Democratic teach
ing and practice during the last thirty
years and particularly daring the latter
portion thereof, under the dominancy of
the men who are still acknowledged lead.
ere? This appeal is to the personal recol
lections and consciousnesses of the voters.
Has the Democratic party been loyal to
the government? devoted to the doctrines
of universal liberty? and anxious that the
just rights of all classes of the population
should be asserted and maintained? was
its bearing during that long and fierce de
bate which preceded the rebellion, friend
ly to Justice and Humanity? what was its
attitude while the war raged? we do not
ask what individual Democrats did,
but what the party, as an organization,
and through its accredited representations
did. Individuals can always be singled
out who are worse:or better than the mass
with which they act and are identified.
Did the Democratic party steadily help
those antecedent influences which brought
on the Rebellion? Did it by protest, and
cavil, and vote, endeavor to embarrass the
government in the prosecution of the
war? Was it hostile to all those amend
ments of the organic law, designed to
bring that instrument into harmony with
jstablished facts, and so to guard against '
he recurrence of 'fresh struggles? It is
Of no consequence what pleas were set
9 for holding on to old errors or abuses.
Tihe life of each man is a progress. Some
gh at middle life because they cannot
ietain the buoyancy of youth, but this is
ooliatiness. The stream of events rolls
n, and each one must go with it. Each
nation follows the same immutable law
of change. Stationary it cannot be. Eith
er it must go on rigorousli adapting its
institutions to all fresh emergencies and
ameliorations, or it must sink down sn.
pinely Into that slow decay which results
' . disintegration and death.
What position has the Democratic party
• ccupied since the Rebellion ended? Has
i recanted its- former wrongs? Has it
anifested a disposition to accept the,
s tuation as it stands, and to make a new
-parture in accordance with the facts of
to-day? < or is it animated by a strong
reactionary tendency, which, left unim
peded, would conserve and restore as
much of the old abominations as possible?
Our readers will• bear witness that from
the surrender of LEE, we have constantly
insisted that it does not comport with
republican ideas to hold large districts of
country and masses of population for
leingthened periods under military rule.
We have been anxious to obliterate the
past; not by trying to throw a mantle of
oblivion over it—for that is simply im
poissible—but by educing from it the
salutary lessons inculcated by its stern
events, and then reaching out into the
future for the wise and benificent accom
plishment of a common destiny. But
this cannot be done so long as the effort
is all on one side, and especially while
the endeavor on the other side is all the
other Way. -
, There is but one rational set of answers
to the
.gitestions we have propounded.
The Democratic party has not evinced,
and is not evincing, a spirit and purpose
which makes it safe to allow. it to regain
tike seats of Power from which it was
ejected. It still faces the past, and longs
for the restoration of all or most of the
things that were overthrown - at infinite
cost to the nation. It has recanted abso
lutely nothing; but is as full today of
pernicious thoughts and designs as at any
former moment. Many Democrats see
and deplore what we assert. They know
and affirm that most of their leaders have
learned nothing, either by the discipline
to which they have been subjected, or to
the agony of suffering into which they
Plunged the Republic. e-
There is only one safe course, and tha
consists in keeping the political power in
the possession of that party that sustained
the Government through all the vicissi
tudes of the war, until all 'the laudable
ends of the contest shall be achieved. If
this shall not be done, immense damage
must ensue.
We know, that a very large part of the
Republicans s / re weary'of the excitements
forced upon tirm through a long succes
sion of years; and they long for repose.
This.)ti natural. One extreme necessarilly
follows another. But, we earnestly ad
monish them that rest now is perilous in
the extreme; that It play node much that
has been well done; and that it may
bring on fresh convulsions that may prove
_quite as grievous to be borne as those
which recently swept over the land. A
grand work is nearly accomplished.'
Its colossal proportions are already
assuming place in the history of
the age, and dwarfing into com
parative insignificance what was before
esteemed thajestic. But this work needs
completion. The top-stone is still lack-,
ing that shall impart symmetry and per.
rnanence to the whole. Till this is pro
vided, we 'urge every Republican - to stifle

, SEPTEMBER. 7,1-1869.
Geary and our State Debt
While everybody is delightediwith the
financial out-look at Washington, let us
look' at home, and note how closely.' the
economy of Geary resembles the econo
my of Grant. Hon. H. Bucher Swope,
at a Republican meeting' in Bellefonte,
Centre county, on the evening of the 25th,
made this telling point:
1
He showed that for a period of hirty
years—from 1829 to 1859—with t ex
ception,of three Gubernatorial to s, the
Democratic party held the Exe utive
power of the State, and with the xcep
lion of three or four years, perhap en
tire control of the Legislative br ch of
the State government. During th a pe
riod, he said, including the ligh debt
contracted previously under Dem cratic
Administrations, the `State was s ddled
with a debt of $40,000,000, and State
tax of three mills on real estate, p oduc
ing annually about $1,800,000 was
levied in 1844 to pay the i rest.
This was purely Democratic licy.
1 That party is fairly chargeable with the
$40,000,000 debt and the $1,800,000 tax.
And this is not all. They are responsible for
the war of the rebellion; and, being re
sponsible for the war, they are responsi
ble for its consequences, among which
we may reckon $5,000,000 extraordinary
expenses, which the State was obliged to
incur, to enable her to act her part in the
war, and subsequently a sum which will
probably, reach $10,000,000, to house,
feed, clothe and educate the orphan chil
dren of brave soldiers and sailors, who
perished in combat, or died of disease or
exposure in the service of their country.
With these $15,000,000 the Democ
racy .are, therefore,
also chargeable,
their expenditure being the legiti
mate result of the rebellion and
the rebellion being the legitimate fruit
of. Democratic doctrine. Carrying out
these, ideas, and this same train of
thought, Mr. Swope went on to show
that by' the close of Governor Geary's
administration the regular State debt will
have been reduced fuly ten millions, and
the war debt, and for soidiets' orphans'
education expenses about eight millions,
and there will remain in the State Treas
ury railroad bonds of the Pennsylvania
company, or guaranteed by it, some
twelve, millions more. To make it clear,
said Mr. Swop% let usreeapitulate. And
to substantiate his position, he stated the
case as follows:
State debt, created by Dem-
octets
War oebt, created by Dano
crate
Soldiers' oephaas, created by
Democrats...--.."•

Debt tinprovlded for *15.000,000
The Democratic party by the act of
April 29, 1844, had fastened upon the real
estate of the tax-payers a State tax from
which about $1,800,000 annually was re
alized. This was repealed by the Repub
lican Administration of February 28,
1866. - The thirty years' policy of the
Democratic party may be summed up in
fighting corporations and taxing the masses
of the people. Tne Republicans have re
pealed' the tax upon the masses of the
people; and put it, upon the the great cor
porations that have grownup. Railroads,
banks, and manufacturing corporations
now pay the taxes which sustains the
State government.-
A Democratic View of the Rights of
Labor.
The principal stock in trade of the party
calling itself "Democratic," has been for
years past a pretended regard for the
rights and Interests of the poor—the
laboring class. They have wasted much
breath and oceans of ink in their endeav
ors to impress this idea upon the public,
especially about election time. They de
nounce their opponents as bloated aristo
crats, who have the will, and but for a
lack of power, would make absolute
serfs of the laboring community. One
of this chats of Democratic patriots, who
runs a one;kortie journal down in Ala
bama, the Tuscaloosa Monitor, we' be
believe, was a candidate for the Legisln
ture at the recent election in that State,
and the following is the kind of Demo
cratic musie which he ground out of his
organ the week following the election:
"Dan White voted right. He Is a first
lass carpenter—is an honest freedman—
. d deserves the patronage of the white
.. en. Give him work, and let him know
hat he who votes with the white man
-hall have the white man's patronage."
"Cornelius Ormand, the black scamp who
.übllalied a Defriocratic card last year,
• oted the Radical. ticket, therefore, the
white man who patronizes him, glies
support to the serpent that turns once a
e ear and stings him. Starve him out."
"The negro, Nat. Lawson, who was men.
timed in the last Montfor, as having elec-
tioneered strongly for the Radical ticket,
.as satisfied us that our informants' were
letaken. He works in the foundry, and
as absent therefrom only during the
-pace of one hour on election days, con
sequently, he could have had no time to
work against us, if he had been so dis.
sed. He admits that he cast his vote
for Hays alone, but did nothing else for
lm."
"LET THE GOOD WOllB PEOGRESS."--

they have quit him, and advise all others
