Hard on the "Critters."
"Between Andrew Johneon or any of his peculiar
viewe and the Wyoming' Republican there ii no
chord of sympathy."—With any of his creatures we
care to have no affiliation. Wyoming Republican
las: week.
Andy's Revenue Assesors,Collectors and
Post masters in this region must have read
the above with feelings of profonnd sadness..
To be at once, without a moments warn
ing, cut off from all sympathies and affili
ation with Mr Yost, was indeed "the un
kindest cut of all," How very contempti
ble they all must feel ? What a dilemma
are they in? To secure this sympathy
this affiliation these official "creatures"
must relax their strong hold on the gov
ernment teat ; to do this, will be inviting
hunger and want; to hang on, is to be de
nied this kiodly'affiliation, and treated as
one of Andy's "creatures" a parasite, sat
tellite and sucker.
Better let loose, "mites and instead of
the "official pap" "accept the assurance of
the distinguished regards of the Editor"
"New and Enlightened Views.
The new fledged editor of the lately de
funct, but now resuscitated, Republican , of
this county, starts off with the following
grand and imposing sentence ;
Deeming it essential to the great and continually
increasing interests oj the nation that * journal re
presenting the progressive spirit ot the age should
be established in Wyoming County, we have purchas
ed the Wyoming Republican in hope that it may
aid in the overthrow of antiquated prejudices and
in the promulgation of ntir and enlightcnci views
upon all the vital topics of the day.
Of course, Mr Editor, the "interests of
the nation" require jou to "establish this
progressive journal" for the overthrow of
''antiquated predjudices" and
gation of new and enlightened *ie%" up
here, in Wyoming County !
But. "Let there be light". What are
these new ideas! These "new and enlight
ened views" ?
A little further down we get-—a glimmer.
He says that be "will maintain against the
" most malignant opposition the self evi
"dent tiuth, that all men are created free
"and equal, and are endowed with certain
i "Unalienable rights."
This he believes is one of those great
"axioms that never become obsolete." He
quotes it, as if it were the emanation of the
brain of some other great man who prece
ded him, in this matter of "promulgating
new views"
Thomas Jefferson used tome, but not all
of the language here quoted in writiog the
Declaration of American Independence.
With the sentiments of Jefferson, tlfe
founder and father of the Democratic party,
all Democrats agree. As to these princi
ples, Mr Editor, the "malignant opposition"
you speak of, will confront you from other
1 sources than the Democratic party.
But, we are inclined to the opinion that
our editor by At* axiom, means something
more and different than did Thomas Jeffer
son, the Virginia Statesman and slavehold
er.
Terhaps, he quotes another man than
Jefferson and from a document which is
not the Declaration of Independence. We
are confirmed in this opinion, from the fact
that the language used, is not identical.
We are therefore obliged to resort to other
portions of his paper for evidence as to
what is meant by his axiom—these "new
and enlightened views" with which he is
scatter the "antiquated predjudices" of the
people of this benighted region.
At the head of his columns we find that
his paper is a' Radical Republican Journal•
In Ills salutatory he says: "we ate radical in
our convictions."
Political radicalism can best be explain
plained by examples : Wendell Phillips,
Lloyd Garrison, Theodore Tilton Cheever,
Thad. Stevens and others of the north, arc
by common consent denominated, "radic
als." On the other hand, Jeff Davis, the
Yancys, Rhets and others are the radicals,
south. Sp far as their influence goes,
tbey all seek the saire end ; the destruction
of the union, and of the liberties of the peo
ple. There is, therefore, but little |to
choose between them. They have been
and are the worst enemies of our common
country. But let ns pursue this matter a
little farther and learn, it we ean, under
which wiog this radical editor sails.—
The northern wing of the radic
als make negro suffrage, negro equality, so
cial and political their rallying cry—their
distinguishing doctrine. Our editor, (we
refei* to another article in his paper)
says:
That the colored man know* how to fight many a
well ooDteated field will testify, and their victories
are emtlasoued by the impartial historian. That
they know how to vote is equally evident. Their
ballote are Cait on the aide of Intelligence, Freedom.
and Right. That'smore than can be aaid of the
Democrat* of Ka stock7.
We conclade from this that his radical
ism is the same kind of Philipps' Stephens'
and others, north.
Are we correct Mr Editor, in the sap
position that your "new and enlightend
views" embrace the doctrine of the politi
cal and social equality of the negro and the
white races f If this be, as we supose, let
your dark lantern shine. Don't dodge the
question, by garbling and misquoting Jeffer
son. If you sincerely think that you are
no better than a bigger,out with it. Perhaps
on that qnestion you will not meet with
the "malignant opposition" yon have an
ticipated.—We pause for a reply.
FOR REPRXSKNTATIVK.—The Record of
the Times publishes a characteristic letter
from Thos. P. Hunt, from which the follow
ing is an extract;
I have been requested, by gentlemen of
different political parties, to serve in the
next Legislature. My reply was :"I seek
no political office If the people demand
my services they shall be obeyed. But I
will not consent to be a partisan represen
tative. In all matters, moral and material,
in which the good of the State and of the
whole are concerned, I must be left free to
vote for the good of tne whole, and not for
the interests of 'party. In all scrambles
for the loaves and fishes, and allfights for
the bones, I must be only a looker on." I
suppose that it was in view of this declar
ation that I was called conservative in a
communication you published last week.
In that sense I am conservative. Igo
or the rights of man and God. lam sick
at heart at beholding the time, the treas
ure and mind of my country exhausted in
party strife and legislation for party ends.
It is time for Pennsylvanians to remem
ber that the wifes and children, the mines
and manufactures, the commercial facili
ties, the laboring and educational and mor
al interests of their State require the undi
vided and radical attention of the Legisla
ture. If the people were to send me there,
I should be radically a Pennsylvanian. In
every measure I advocated, or every vote
I gave, I would respect the rights of all.
Even the liquor sellers and their advo
cates, the moderate drinkers and their vic
tims, the drunkards and the tax-payers,
should find in me a radical defender of
their rights. And I am satisfied that I
could aim to be a radical conservative of
the righs of all; regarding more the appro
bation of my own conscience than I dread
any swipes from man. Yours respectfully.
THOS. P. HUNT
Assassination of Lopez, the Betrayer of
MaTimlllinn.
A letter gives the following details of
the assassinnation of Lopez, who betrayed
Maximilian; I arrived here to day and
learned the startling news of the assassina
tion of the traitor, Lopez. The particu
lars of the assassination are as follows:
Lopez was staying at a hotel in Poebla,
where his wife-spurned him from her pres
ence, Early one morning a Mexican ar
rived, and familiarized himself with an os
tler in a livery stable adjoining the hotel,
General Mignel Lopez was inquired for,
but not being in, the stranger was told that
the General would be at dinner. Before
the dinner hour Lopez returned, and was
pointed out to the stranger, who made
special note of his man. When dinner
was' called, Lopez and bis assassin occupied
opposite seats at the table—after
some minutes duiing which time the stran
ger called for and drank a glass of wine,
he deliberately rose, drew a concealed
knife, and sprang upon Lopez, and stabbed
him nine times. The stranger then took
his bat, and as be started to leave, said:
"This is the way all traitors should be paid.'
No one interfered or prevented the as
sassin from leaving- Thus was the blood
of Maximilian, Miramon, Mcjia, yes ! and
thousands of others, avenged.
RIDICULOUS.—A fashion that is absurd
has come into use of late in certain circles,
and the rising generation will Mush for the
fo ly of their progentors when they grow
older and wiser It is not practiced so
much in the naming of boys, but in respect
to girls it has run to the extreme of senti
mental silliness. Thus girls, instead of
being baptized with such sensible, old fash
ioned names as Matilda, Margaret, Char
lotte or Sarah, are christened "Tillie,"
"Maggie," "Lottie,''"Sadie." Ellen dwin
dles into "Eilie;"' Susan shrinks into "Su
sie Caroline is made ridiculous by being
cut down to "Liunie;" Emma becomes in
sipid in "Emmmic and, most wretched
of all, the beautiful name of Mary is frit
tered into ' Mamie, 4 t or "Maze," This
sickly sentimcntalism is about as foolish as
the poetic lubrications of bereaved fathers
and mothers who inform an unapprecis
tive world that "dear Johnney" has left
them for that the skill of physicians was
unavailing to save "Billy" from the fatal
consequences of the sore afflictions which
he bad borne so long. Ex.
"If the constitution is tbe supreme law
of the land, North and South' as the Pres
ident says, (in his last veto message) then
all we are doing here, in Congress, is rank
usurpation."— Thaddtut Stevens.
"This Constitution, and tbe laws of the
United States, which shall be made in
pursuance thereof , and all treaties which
shall be made, under tbe authority of the
United States, shall be the supreme law of
the land" and tbe judges of every state
shall be bound thereby, any thing in the
constitution or laws of any state to the
contrary notwithstanding." Constitution, U.
S., Article sth, Sectioned.
It is a singular fact that although Judge
Sharswood has been on the bench for twenty
years, the Radicals can only find fault with
but one of his decisions. This is a virtual
admission that all the others are right. As
to what that decision was, we refer to anoth
er column, and every candid man must say
it was right If a man contracts for wheat
he cannot be paid in bran; if be contracts
for gold or silver he cannot be paid in
greenbacks at forty per cent, discount. If
so, the provision for the payment of 5-02
bonds in gold, may be revoked by a d act of
Congress.
Judge Shenwood and Legal Tenders.
Some of "the little creatures" whom
Greeley says "an inscrutable Providence
permits to edit some of the minor Rept.b -
lican journals," have undertaken to make
a little capital for their bankrupt organi
zation out of a decision once rendered by
Judge Sharswood, which they attempt to
torture into a declaration that greenbacks
are unconstitutional and not a legal ten
der for debts.
The facts of the case are simply and
briefly these: A man held a ground rent
mortgage, given in 1732, in which it was
stipulated that the annual rent should be
paid in Spuftixh milled dollars by weight.
After the passage of the law making green
backs a legal tender for Jebt, the holder
of the ground-rent mortgage agreed to ex
tinguish the mortgage for a consideration,
and the purchaser, (the owner of the
ground) tendered both the principal and
interest in greenbacks. The holder agreed
to accept greenbacks for the principal, but
insisted that the contract demanded the
payment of Spanish milled dollars for the
interest. The other party maintained
that the greenback law made greenbacks
a legal tender for all debts, whether con
tracted since the act was passed or before.
The case was taken into court and Judge
Sharswood decided that the interest upon
the ground rent mortgage of 1732 would
have to be paid according to the demands
of the contract.
With their usual unfairness, the Radical
journals decline to publish this opinion in
full, but confine their attacks to inuen
does. If tbev did publish it, we venture
the opinion that the soundness of that de
cision would be endorsed by every intelli
gent man of their party. In fact promi
nent Repblicans declare that that decision
would be the very best electioneering doc
ument the friends of J udgc Sharswood
could use. It is not true that opinion pre
tended to vitiate greenbacks as a legal
tender for debts contracted since (be en->
actment of the national currencj law, nor
in any case of indebtedness contracted
prior to the passage of that law, except in
cases where a special contract stipulated
tbat payment should be made in a certain
prescribed manner,
If the Radicals of Pennsylvania desire
to make this an issue in the coming judi
cial contest in this State, the friends of
Judge Sharswood will have no objection.
Let us see how it will work. The United
States Government has agreed to pay cer
tain of its bonds in coin. Judge Shars
wood says it must abide by its obligations.
This is the essence of the contract, and it
must be performed to the letter. The
Radicals say the doctrine is treasonable.
They assert that an individual can dis
charge his indebtedness by offering to pay
in currency, when he has promised to pay
in coin; and why cannot the Government
do this as well as an individual. Thev
tried this game, two yeais ago, in regard
to the State debt. The faith of our State
stood solemuly pledged tbat tbc interest
on certain bonds should be paid in coin.
The pledge was deliberately violated and
the interest paid in paper money. So
may the pledge of the national Govern
ment be violated, if the Radicals find it
convenient to do so; and under Radical
law the bondholder will have no redress
in the courts. What do the holders of
national securities say to this? Are they
willing to endorse the doctrine that an
agreement to pay a certain sura in gold
or " Spanish milled dollar s" may be can
celed by the tender of paper currency !
If they do, let tbem vote for Henry* W.
Williams, and submit to a discount of sl,-
39 OD the interest of their, bonds, at the
hands of the Radical Party.
The Radicals denounce this decision as
a stab at the credit of the nation. If this
be so, the Radical leaders are responsible
for the first stab themselves, for they have
set the first example of repudiation of
their own currency, by declaring that it
would not be acknowledged as a legal
tender in payment of interest upon cer
tain of its bonds The principles of Judge
Sharswood's' decision will keep the nation
al taith inviolate with the nation's bond
holders, and will maintain the national
credit. It simply endorses that plain
principle of common honesty, upon which
rests the credit of the w hole business
I world—that a man shall do what he agrees
! to do, and shall not be released by the
law upon doing less than he has promised
to do. It simply declares that a man who
has agreed to pav one hundred dollars in
I gold, shall not have fulfilled his contract
: by payment of one hundred dollars in pa
per, which is only worth sixty-one dollars
in gold. This is what Judge Sharswood's
decision means and we are willing to ac
cept the issue in all its length and breadth.
—Greensburg Republican A Democrat.
"Absurd and Criminal."
The PitUburg Chronicle, a Radical daily
paper, is unable to submit to all the vile
utterances of its party. It quotes from the
address of F. Jordan, chairman ot the Sta(e
committee, the following shameless sen
tence:
"The Democratic par*y, with Judge
Sharswood for its leader, and with Free
Trade, State Rights and Secession on its
banner, is again marshaling its hosts, and
now summoning us to the field of political
combat on these same issues."
Disgusted with such infamous falsehoods
put forth by its own friends, the Chronicle
SH( s;
"It is insulting to the people of Pennsyl
vania to say tbat in this judicial contest the
Democratic parly has secession inscribed on
its banner. — We warmly support Judge
Williams in this contest, but wc will not
even by silence lend our endorsement to so
utterly a shameful and unwaranted a charge
as the one above quoted. It is a sign of
bad party demoralisation when such means
are adopted to achieve success, it is ut
terly wrong and utterly unnecessary. Such
things recoil against the men wbo practice
them, and cloud even au honest cause with
suspicion. It is both absurd and criminal
to say tbat the right of secession will be an
issue in the approaching election. The Re
publican party can go into a canvass upon
its own merits and upon actual issues, with
out compromising itself by these shabby
devices, and we trust no respectable journal
in the party will lend itself to such a style
lof warfare. It is a veritable Mexician
! business."

Chairman Standing Committee:
W ELL PUT.— To those who are so clam
orous for the maintenance of the faith of
the nation, an exchange very pertinently
puts the following questions and gives an
swer :
Wasn't the faith of the nation solemnly
pledged, Ist, that the war was not waged
I for the purpose of interfering with the
'domestic institutions of the South? 2d,
1 that it was not waged for the subjugation
lor conquest of the South ? 3d, that the
| States of the South should be re-admitted
■ into the Union with their sovereignty,
| rights, and even their dignity unimpaired?
- Wasn't the faith of the nation, we ask,
pledged to each of these propositions, and
|in each of thein broken ? And by whom?
• By the vety brazen political rascals who
, are now appealing to the betrayed and
beggared toilers of the land, and in the
name of the nation's faith, forsooth, asking
tb< m to pay the bonded Shylocks their uo
| bought interest, and this, though their own
, little ones shall go hungry and in rags !
The Radical State Convention of
South Carolina, at its recent meeting, adopt
ed a resolution demanding that the uegrqes
shall be represented by one of their own
race ou the next Presidential ticket of that
party —whether as President or Vice Presi
dent is not stated. This is a cold bath to
the Radcials of Pennsylvania, who were
afraid to put even a mild negro suffrage
resolution iu their State Platform. But,
Sambo in the lead or at the wheel, they
they will have to go in the wagon when
Stevens and Summer start the team.
WOKTH KNOWING. —A poison ot any
conceivable description and degree of po
tency, which has been swallowed intention
ally or by accident, may be rendered al

Let's hear from you, friends!
A NEGRO STATE. —Sheridan's report of
■ registration in Louisiana shows 127,588
j registered voters —white and black. In
i 1800 the total poll of whites was 50,510.
' The negroes have 38,142 majority, which
j shows a voting force ot 44,<23 whites and
| 82,865 negroes. If all the whites were
' registered they would have a small major
ity over the blacks. In ten parishes out
i of fortv eight the whites have from three <
! hundred to five hundred majority. In all |
. the others the blacks are dominant.
Such is the despicable stale of affairs
breiM;hL.4ibout by the iufamous leaders of j
party, and all to secure power !
aud vfealth for themselves. The Northern
working masses are to be crushed beneath ;
the expense of registration and the support ;
of a standing army and military govern- j
ments. and hereafter, in elections for Pres
ident and members of Congress, their votes
and influence at the ballot-box will be held
in check or entirely destroyed by these hor
des of ignorant negroes, the majority of
whom are not more worthy to vote than
| the beasts of the fields. Arc these the re
sults for which Pennsylvanians gave their
, lives and limbs, poured out their wealth
; and burdened themselves with an incubus
of debt ? Let the rank and file of the llad
| ical party consider this question calmly for
a moment, outside of party bias and pred
: judiee, and say, candidly, whether all this
is as it should be and as ihev desire it in
i the Government which they hope to leave
j for their children.— Pat. Jc Union
