THE LATE MEETING.
The proceedings of the Democratic
Vounty meeting, held in the Court-House
on Tuesday evening last, appear in anoth
er column. Entire harmony and good
feeling prevailed on the occasion, and the
Resolutions were adopted with singular
unanimity.
HEALTHY INDIOATION.
'the large accessions made to our list of
subscribers during the past week assure us
that the Democracy of little Greene are
alive to their duties and responsibilities in
the present crisis, and are determined not
only to maintain their organization, but to
extend a generous support to their old and
long-tried organ.
WAYNESBURG COLLEGE.
It was our pleasure to attend the Liter
ary Entertainment given by the young la
dies of the College on Thursday Evening
last. The performances throughout were
creditable to the participants and the in
stitution, and were listened to by a very
large audience. The only imperfection
was a failure on the part of some of the
performers to read loud enough to be dis
tinctly heard. Itiss C. C. PErricitsw, the
amiable and accomplished Teacher, added
mach to the interest of occasion by the
judicious selection and execution of appro
priate music.
We are gratified to learn that the pros
pects for the Summer session are very flat
tering. The Faculty seem determined to
spare no labor to render the institution in
all respects worthy of its patrons.

FOUND DEAD,
The dead body of a man, supposed to be
that of a German who taught a class in
the French and other languages in
Waynesburg last Fall, was found on the
farm of SILAS Cog in Centre township in
this county a few days ago. The body
was discovered by a son of Mr. COE, and
was so decomposed as to render it impos
sible to identify it.
OBJEOTB OF THE WAR.
In the House of Representatives, a few
days ago, Mr. Holman, of Ind., offered a
resolution that in the judgment of the
House, the unfortunate civil war in which
the United States has been forced by the
treasonable attempts by the Southern Se
cessionists to destroy the Union, should
not be prosecuted for any other purpose
than the restoration of the authority of
the Constitution, and. the welfare of the
whole people of the United States, who
are permanently involved in the preserva
tion of our present form of government,
without modification or change.
On motion of Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois,
the Resolution was laid on the table by a
vote of 60 against 58. This is the second
time since the beginning of the present
session that Congress has laid on the ta
ble a resolution declaring the true pur
pose of the war. What does it mean ?
sir The vote on the resolution to expel
Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, from the U. S.
Senate for alleged disloyalty, was taken
O a Thursday.

WHAT PBMITIOE THINIEL
There is no man in the country who ut
ters more loyal setiments or acts a more
loyal part than the editor of the Louisville
Journal. He says, "the war for the Union
is a holy war, for it is waged in the cause
of national vitality and enlarged conserva
tism. If a peace cannot be conquered
within constitutional limitations, it is not
worth securing. It would be of no avail to
lavish men and money to restore the mere
forms of nationality without preserving at
the same time its constitutional vitality.—
We must have the glorious old structure
without a single column taken from its
proportions, and without a single stone re
moved from its solid foundations. If it is
to be broken or desecrated or altered, it
makes very little difference whether its
entirety is destroyed by Southern Seces
sion or Northern Abolition. The States
which make up the Union can never be
decreased except under the forms of the
Constitution, and the ultraisin which de
termines that South Carolina can with
draw from her compact with the other
thirty-three States upon her own whim,
caprice or volition, is the very twin to the
monstrous doctrine that the thirty-three
States can withdraw from South Carolina,
or blot out her State sovereignty."
THE EMANCIPATION RESOLUTION
IN CONGRESS.
The House of Representatives has
adopted the President's emancipation reso
lution by a vote of 88 in favor to 31 against.
We cannot close our eyes, says the Har
risburg Patriot, to the obstacles in the
way of the consummation of this project.
In the first place, supposing the consent of
the Borde r States to be obtained, the ex
pense to the General Government would
be enormous, and in addition to the ex
pense of the war, overwhelming. In the
next place it does not seem just that the
Northern States (for upon them must fall
the main burdens of taxation) should be
taxed to pay for property which they can
not use and do not want ; and then after
purchasing the freedom of these Border
State slaves, the Government could not
turn them loose upon the country, but
would be compelled to provide for them,
either by colonization or otherwise, which
would add fearfully to the total cost. We
presume that the President did not over
look these objections, and can hardly
suppose that either he or any man who
voted in favor of his recommendation, be
lieved that it would ever be practically
adopted.
If the reception of the offer embraced in
this resolution by the Border States can be
anticipated from the action of their repre
sentatives it will not be accepted ; and
then Congress and the Administration
stand pledged against forcible emancipa
tion.
THE VOTE.
The resolution presented to Congress by
the President, in relation to the emancipa
tion of slaves, passed the House finally
op Tuesday, by yeas 88—nays 31.
All the yeas but eleven are Republicans
--seventy-seven Republicans in its favor,
and two Democrats, and nine Unionists.—
Among the nays there was one Republican,
and all the rest were Democrats, and so
called Union men.

"YOUNG AND PURE."
Out in Kansas, there is a muss on hand
which serves still further to illustrate the
boasted honor and honesty of the "young
and pure" Republican party. The Legis
lature by a unanimous vote, has presented
articles of impeachment against the Gov
ernor, Auditor and Secretary of State, all
of them being Republicans. The impeach
ment is based on a charge of fraud prac
tised against the State in the sale of State
Bonds to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars. The allegation is that
these bonds were sold at 40 to 45 cents on
the dollar, with the understanding that
the purchaser should divide all profits with
the officers who made the sale. We hope
for the honor of all concerned that there is
not sufficient ground for the allegation.--
Newark (0.) Advocate.
BorStealing and swindling are the dis
tinguishing characteristics of a great many
Republican officials now-a-days. They
hold the purse, and seem determined to
empty it. May the Lord send the country
a speedy deliverance from the unscrupulous
scoundrels who are robbing her of her
treasure and substance in this dark hour
of her history !
Se-. The Detroit Free Press thinks the
rebellion will soon be at an end, but, it
well and truly says, "the causes of future
insurrections will linger in the body politic
just so long as in any part of the country
the doctrine of secession or of abolition are
tolerated. There can be no permanent
pe ace when men are allowed to preach the
"higher law" and "irrepressible conflict,"
or the right of States to defy the General
Government. All these are treasonable.
They have bred civil war, and were in
tended to breed it. They are unclean
spirits which possess the nation, and must
be cast out if we would return to our old
happiness and prosperity."
MOORATIO VICTORIES.
The returns of the Spring Elections in
the State of New York, as far as recorded,
show immense gains for the Democracy.
The cities of Troy, Utica and Rochester
have elected Democratic Mayors, and the
gain of Democratic Supervisors throughout
the State has been very large.
In every place where a district issue has
been made between the two parties, this
Spring, the Democratic vote has largely
increased. The success of our armies and
the rise of Democracy go hand in hand.

should receive some consideration
from their brethren throughout the
State; and that in presenting, as they
do, their fellow-citizen, Wm. T. H.
PAULEY, Esq., for a place on the next
Democratic State ticket, they do it
in the confident hope that the ap
proaching Convention will do justice
to the claims of the county and of a
life-long and zealous Democrat by
making him one of our standard-bear
ers in the coming campaign.
Resolved, That our Delegates to the
State Convention be and are hereby
instructed to support Mr. PAULEY for

and incorruptible public servant,
fearless and independent in the dis
charge of his public duties and obli

On motion of JostPH G. RITCHEY,
Esq., it was unanimously
Resolved, That tho late message of

country.

men, and quicken our hope of an

Constitution of our fathers.
On motion of A. A. TURMAN, Esq.,
it was unanimously
Resolved, That we regard the at
tempt by Congress to reduce States
of this Union to the condition of
Territories, as a principle as danger
ous as the dark and damning doctrine
of secession itself; but that the Dem

by the legally constituted authorities
in every constitutional effort to hold
in the Union every State, as hereto
fore, without the loss of a single right
as a State of the Union.
On motion, it was

TEE RAILROADS, THE LEGISLA
TURE AID THE COURTS.
In my last article I had reached
that portion of the history of the
Railroad in which it had carried
through the Legislature of 1857, a
law which looked only to the interest
of the road, and totally disregarded
the rights and interests of the tax
payers of the State. The question
arose as to how this wicked legisla
tion could be got rid of. That the
treasury of the State would be robbed
by permitting it to remain, was clear
to everybody. Finally, it was deci
ded by the State authorities to test
the constitutionality of the law be
fore the Supreme Court. That Court,
without hesitation, decided that a
law which attempted to relieve any
portion of the property of the people
of the State from paying its share of
the expenses of the Government—
much less the property of a wealthy
corporation—was unconstitutional.—
Thus again was defeated an effort to
get rid of the payment of the tonnage
tax.
Its next effort, for the same pur
pose, was more daring than any it
had yet resorted to. It was to square
ly refuse to pay the tonnage tax in defi
ance of the Courts and the people!
Accordingly it withheld the payment
of these duties for the years 1857 and
1858; in truth it has paid nothing
since 1856. This, of course, again
brought this defiant corporation into
the Courts. The State Treasurer
sued the Company for this money,
and after all the delay that legal
ingenuity could interpose, judgment
was bad and execution issued. But
another delay was effected by suing
out a writ of error to the Supreme
Court, which, after considerable ad
ditional delay, confirmed the judg
ment of the inferior Court. Of course
the Company did not expect any
other result. It had no hope of re
versing the judgment, but by these
protracted delays it bad staved off
final action, and given itself time to
manipulate the Legislature of 1861,
which was then about to assemble.
The previous intercourse of this
Company with the virtuous gentle
men who represent the people in the
Legislature, had been of such an
encouraging character, as to give it
great hopes—nay, almost an assu
rance—if properly 'approached, that
the rights of this Company would be
respected there, whatever other rights
might be disregarded! The result
showed the accuracy of this opinion.
A law was passed—nay, two laws—
just such as were dictated by the
Company and as suited their inter
est, but with the usual disregard of
the interest of the tax payers of the
State.
A brief extract from a speech late
ly delivered by the Hon. Thomas
Williams, a member of the present
as well as the last Legislature, will
give the reader some idea of the
character of this legislation :
Mr. WlLLisms, of Allegheny, agreed with
the gentleman from Philadelphia, that the As
sembly of 1861 was "dead ;" and more than
that, it was in the condition of Lazarus, foul
and repulsive. When the tonnage tax bill was
about being passed, he had stood up in the hall
with the minority of the members, and declared
that those who voted for the iniquity should be
known no more as members of the House. He
would now point to the members around, and
ask if the prediction had not been fulfilled.—
The giant corporations of 1661 might subsidize
the press, but the voice of the people could not
be stifled. He cited a legislative case in Geor
gia, to show that it was legal to enter into an
investigation. If it was urged that a contract
might be vitiated thereby, let it be understood
that fraud vitiated any contract. Two bills
alone of the Assembly of 1861 took $12,000,000
out of the State treasury, and benefited the treas
ury of Philadelphia proportionately. Not only
were these two acts sanctioned, but a third one
was approved, which allowed the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to own all the railroads in the
State. In tact, the entire duty of the last Leg
islature seems to have been to execute the bid
ding of the corporations so prominently
brought before it.
The two bills referred to by Mr.
Williams as having
taken twelve
millions of dollars from the treasury
of the State, are the bill for the "com
mutation of the tonnage tax," and the
bill for the "completion of the Sunbury
and Erie Railroad." These bills en
velop their purpose in an immense
amount of verbiage, but the plain
English of the first is to release the
Central Railroad from the payment of
the tonnage tax, and the second to
forgive to the Sunbury and Erie Rail
road the debt which the State held
against it. Most persons would un
derstand the term "commutation,"
when applied to a debt, as a change
or substitution of one mode of paying
a debt for another. But this bill
merely provides for the payment of
the purchase money of the Canals,
(which the Central Railroad Compa
ny bound itself to do by the act of
1857,) that it will thereafter pay to
the State the taxes assessed on its
property, (which the Court had de
cided it was bound to do like any
other owner of property,) and that
it would not, for the future, discrimi
nate against our own citizens in its
charges for freight, (which the Courts
had decided it had no warrant for
doing in its charter!)
The amount of the tonnage tax due
the State at the time of the passage
of the act of 1861, amounted, with
interest, to the snug sum of eight hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. This
sum this law of 1861 coolly appro
priated to ten branch roads—feeders
to the Central—passing through some
twelve or fifteen counties, most of
whose Representatives were thus
(and perhaps otherwise) secured for
the passage of the law!
These two bills ponstituted a giant
job on the part of the Legislature.
They were introduced together, con
sidered together, and passed togeth
er, at a night session, convened for the
special purpose.
The Senator from this District
voted against the former and in favor '
of the latter, and, doubtless, expected
that his constituents would be de
ceived by this shallow dodge. It is
barely possible that they will, but if
it should turn out otherwise, when
he tries his strength in the new Con
s isia distriet, .(faire which the
Dolonernts of Washington and Greene
are so mnA. indebted to hiss) he
mast it rne me.
This is & + et AO& tiatie at* the
operations oftloi emit _Railroad cxi.
poration in osa. Legislature and
Courts.
I trust that the future may present
a different history, and that the at
tention of the people may be thor
oughly awakened to the necessity of
arresting the rapid progress of this
overshadowing corporation to su
preme power. I am rejoiced to see
the many and convincing evidences
of this, not the least of which is
glanced at in the extract from the
speech of Mr. Williams, already quo
ted. It is true that but one member
outside of the city and county of
Philadelphia, who voted for these
bills in 1861, has been returned to
the present Legislature. Early in
the present session a resolution was
introduced by the upright and watch
ful member from our neighboring
county of Washington, Col. Hopkins,
looking to the repeal of the repealing
law of last session, which has received
favorable attention, and will doubt
less pass. Again, the same member
introduced a resolution calling for a
committee of inquiry as to the means
and appliances by which those meas
ures
were carried. This was adopted
without a dissenting vote, and an able
committee has been raised and is
about entering upon the duties as
signed to it. It is to be hoped that
this investigation will be searchingly
and unflinchingly pursued, and that
the people may be informed who of
their pretended Representatives stood
quietly by and permitted this gross
sacrifice of their interests, or, worse
yet, profited by this treachery. if
such false Representatives shall be
found, they should be mercilessly
gibbeted by public opinion, as a lesson
to those who may hereafter aspire to
legislative position with such unholy
purposes. CITIZEN.

ATER'S SARSAPARILLA.
I S a concentrated extract of Pam Sarsaparilla, so
combined with other substances of still greater al
terative power as to afford an effective antidcte for
diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to core. Su ch a reme
dy is surely wanted by those who suffer from Sim
mons complaints, and that one which will accomplish
heir cure must prove of immense atrvice to this large
class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely
this compound will do it has been proven by experi
ment on many of the worst cases to be found in the
following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints, Eruptions and
Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors,
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or
Tic Doloresz, Debility, Dyspepsia and Indigestion,
Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, and indesd
the whole class o f complaints arising from Impurity
of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul
Iw more which fester in the blood at that season of the
year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling
disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the
endurance of tout eruptions and ulcerous sores, through
which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this through the natural channels
of the body by an alteiative medicine. Cleanse out
the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or
sores ; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and your feelings will tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is telt, people enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep
the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the pabu
lum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the
great machi., ery of life Is disordered or overthrown.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little,
if any . Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappoinunent
has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsa
parilla which flood the market, until the name itself is
justly despised, and Las become synonomous with
imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound
Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as
shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be
lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordi
nary run of the diseases it is intended to cure.

TO THE PUBLIC.
WE, the undersigned Commissioners of Greene
County, impelled by a sense of the obligation of our
oaths and of our duty to the public, and in obedience
to the law requiring us to "carefully examine and cor
rect the assessments as returned by the Assessors of
the several townships, and to raise or reduce the
same if they find improper valuations have been
made." do hereby make known that we have made a
full and complete examination of the assessments of
the several townships, and find. that whilst all are far
below the actual cash value of the real estate assessed.
The assessments of many of the townships are so
grossly below the real value of the property assessed,
that to suffer them to remain would inflict great in
justice upon the other townships whose property has
been more correctly estimated. We have, therefore,
raised the valuations on assessments of the real es
tate of such townships, so as to equalize them with
the other townships of the County, as follows :
Wayne township increased 10 per cent.
