Why did you do it, then, in an attempt to give a part of a sentence in the Declaration of independence ? "New and Enlightened Views." The editor of the Radical organ for this county, in reviving that paper, said it had been "established to promulgate" among ns ■'new and enlightened views Ac.," We pro pounded to him the following question ; Are we correct Mr Editor in the supposition, that yuur new and enlightened views "embrace the doc trine of the POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY of the NEGRO and the WRITE RACES 1 In his last issue he copies the above ques tion and very frankly answers ; "YoC ARE CORRECT " He follows this by saying that we are not . equal to anything.

Next comes what they call income, and that's taxed. Then if anything is left, the preacher calls ronnd and gets it to sustain the church and con vert the brcthern. Radicalism Run Mad. The Radical convention held at this place on Mondav last, was one of those gatherings that could only occur in a par ty made up of the odds and ends, the rag tag and bobtail elements of all creation gathered in one incongruous mass, whose only cohesive quality is a bigoted fanat ical hatred of Democrats and democratic principles And whose one idea is thai; they are the saints, the party of progress! j intelligence, purity and piety. This spiritualistic convention was call- i ed to order by R. P. Ross, Eq. chairman 1 of Republican—not radical—county stand ing committee. After a little filibuster ing, in which outsiders, including the Rev, Jakey, participated, Mr, Ross assumed the Presidential chair— ad interim. The im peachers forthwith made an attempt to impeach the president and drag him down from his high estate. This was manfully resisted by the Administration party- Richard was all himself. He had exchang ed his kingdom for the presidential horse. He was determined [to exhibit his equestrian skill on that pony, despite all the secret, oath-bound organizations in the County. Pick showed that be had been drilled in the dragoons, and notwith standing the loud and hoarse bellowing of the "bull-baggers" from Northmorelaud and Eaton, kept his seat undismayed. One of these chaps that in financinl circles sometimes plays hob with the bears, and whose "tightness" has become proverbial, just at this point was troubled with a looseness and offered S2O for a three min utes speech. He declared that ail the Templars were drunk and would doubtless have secured silence (except a sound of gurgling fluids,) if instead of the S2O, he had offered bis private bottle; but the rul ing passion was too- strong with Lim for that. "The good old Elisha" about this time began to see snai/cs "copperheads" of every imaginable shape size and hue were loomiog up to his diseased vision; In or der to secure security, these venomous rep tiles must be banished the house. Every loyal man felt bound to vote against "sar pinta"—The house was cleared, leaving none but the cxeme de /a crerne inside of this golutn circle. (The proceedings from this time to the opening of the doors again, were of that knownothing close commun ion, dark lantern, loyal league, character which is peculiar to the party of progress, r< fineinent and civilization ; and which pro fane not allowed to portray.) Eli sha. though charged with being a wooden nutmeg state-man, indignantly denied the imputation. We could hardly trust our of these j3wre~meri~tliat some of the sacred band had been guilty of fraud and corrup tion. These charges were so numerous, from so many source! and so persistently reiterated, that, though we have.but little faith in what they say, we began to Lave a faint suspicion that there might be some truth in their assertions. A committee to investigate frauds and decide upon credentials was appointed du ring the secret session. One Joseph, a Me boopanyite, who for many months past had been making a determined fight for the nomination, on casting about found that he was not like Joseph of old a ruler in the land. Benjamin and Samuel had come down with him to seek the flesh pots of Egypt. These three hungry children struggled hard to get a morsel for them selves or for their famishing father Jakey They were empty. Farewell Joseph, a long farewell to all your great- DCSS ! After the lapse of an Lour or more the "pizen'' which had infused itself into the Delegates having subsided, the doors were opened and the ntmination for Representa tive was made. Ziba Lott, who it was charged, had run on both the wet and dry sides, on the tempcrancelquestion, but who was known to be most in favor of mois ture, was nominated on the first ballot.— The thirsty rads. made his nomination unanimous ! Jakey had been rather too "snddent" they thought in turning the spiggot on them. Cold water wasn't con sidered a healthy beverage. Jakey was thought to have a call to preach the nig ger and him crucified. Building a monu ment to the virtues ol the departed Afri can deserter was thought to be a proper business for him. lie was consigned to cold water and d>-ad nigger, without a pang of regret for the present, a throb of sympathy Tor the past, or a smile of hope for the future.—Good bye, Jake ! For County Commissioner there seemed to be a great dearth of candidates. Col. Marcy was brought out by Elisha in a neat and complimentary speech ; but the Col. was too old a bird to be caught. He smelt a large-sized mouse—with a long tail—and rather than test his popularity with the brethren as abridge builder, con cluded to take his chance for the Legisla tive llall9 in '6B. Daniel Wright, it was thought could pay for the tickets, for the honor of seeing his name in print. lie was therefore nominated to do so. When the question of Jury Commission er came up the candidates flocked in as crows around an old boat horse after the close of canal navigation. These buzzards were too numerous to mention in detail Among them we noticed S. L. Tiffany, who we believe received one vote. The convention acted wisely in keeping Tiffa ny for a position where an election would depend upon a majority vote, and not up on the mere matter of nomination, as in thiscase. In the nomination of Henry Roberts they will secure for this office a good man, who though aged and feeble, we sincerely hope may outlive the term of the office to which he will be chosen. Dr. J. W. Rhoads was placed iD nomi- , nation for Coroner and Daniel A. Bard- I well for County Auditor. They can pay I for tickets, too. Towards the close of the convention, when the ratsbane had died out, the mem . bers who before had frothed and roared like lions, were as quiet and harmless as sucking lambs. Everything was lovtly and the web-footed aquatic hung high. ) Whitney was on hand to represent the j 'wearers ot the blue' in the late struggle for I social and political equality, but (ailed to get a recognition of his eminent fitness for a Legislator. Of course his friends will have an opportunity to testify their ap preciation of his virtues, for he is the man that proposes to run any way. Mace, though be threatened to kick out of the traces if whipped, made a square stand-up fight—was whipped—took the matter gracefully and will have the next two years in which to*peck his flint for an other triaL Jakey, this time, paid for his dinner Ac j beforehand, in anticipation of a hasty de parture. At the close of the convention he left, vowing vengeance on the Tem plars, to whom he, attributed his defeat. In crossing the canal, which he did on a timber raft, to save a short walk around by tbo bridge, he pitched head long into the canal. He floated up like a dead horse, and finally succcedeJ in get ! ting on the other side of Jordon, This strange mishap to the elder is attributed by some to the fact that he had indulged to freely in the "&c.," kept at the tem perance hotels in town. Others think be must have inhaled too much of the breath of the delegates. The more general opin ion is, that he hastily concluded to aban- , don politics ; and in returning to the min istry thought baptism a saving ordinance. Certain it is that though thoroughly disgust ed with the temperance men he takes kindly to cold water. We entreat him to give Lis god-forsaken, corrupt partjMhe benefit of his prayers. If he cannot give i them any more of those S3OO supplica tions, in which he indulged last winter, he I can at least put up some cheap petitions for the ungrateful wretches. The Alleged Treasury Frauds. entirely genfcraT3emafof ! Mr. Dunbai's allegations touching the Treasuiy frauds. It says : "We have not seen any special evidence of dishonesty, but tho carelessness with which the whole business vas conducted during the war, was patent to all intelligent observers. When the hank note compan ies here were printing the greenbacks, a | package covering a large amount, and com pletely finished save the addition of the lit tle red stamp, was missed at the Depart ment. The company here declared that they had forwarded the bills as stated.— The officials af Washington insisted that I the delivery was short* The difference was a largefortune. The ; method of transmission was for the com pany to send their sealed packages to the Sub-Treasury here> where they were pack ed in handsome leather mail bags, deb locked and forwarded by the mail to Washington. The empty bags were then 1 returned for a fresh supply. The very in tclligent young man who superintended I the work of packing for (he printers here, on being informed of the deficiency, pro ceeded to the office of the Assistant Treas urer, and asked to see the returned bags. They were pointed out in a pile on the floor ; taking tliem by the bandies one af ter another, he soon shook out the missing packages which had made the jonrney back f'Om Washington in an open bag without even the protection of a tow string at the mouth ! A part of this history passed un der the personal observation of the writer hereof, and wt do not beleive, in view of such manifest carelessness in the Depart ment, that all of the millions issued at Washington will balance to a cent, even it there had never been a single act of fraud.'

A Deathbed Confession. Thaddeus Stevens, being on his death bed, has just confessed a truth which should alarm the fears and arouse the at tention of the people everywhere. In a letter te his friend, Samuel Schock, dated Lancaster, Pa., August 20, 1867, he dis tinctly declares that the whole legislation of Congress, in the matter of "reconstruc tion," was contrary to, and outside of the Constitution of the United States, and that the Radical majority in both Houses of Congress knew that they were acting total ly without constitutional authority- Speaking of the refusal ot the Senate to concur with the House in a bill introduced by himself, prohibiting the removal by himself,prohibiting the removal of the Dis trict Commanders without the oonsent of the Senate. Mr. Stevens says: "Some of tbo members of the Senate seemed to doubt their power under the Constitution, which they had just repudiated, and wholly out side ot which all ayrced that we are actiny, else our whole work of reconstruction was usurpation!" This is a bold and bald avowal that the Radical party of the coun try, acting through their representatives in Congress, has knowingly and by con sent, overthrown the fundamental law of the nation, usurped Dnlirnited power, and ever since the war ceased, been pursuing a corns entirely despotic and revolutiona ry, The Conservative press have asserted and re-asserted this fact duriug the last live years, but without awaking the people to a conviction of its truth: But will they not open their eyes and behold how tearfully their liberties have been and are yet being violated, now that the leader of the Radical party in Congress, speaking as a dying roan, and in presence of the terrible judgment to which he is hurrying, plainly and explicitly confesses bis trea son ? Not content with acknowledging'simply, that he and his confederates in crime, have delibetately treated the National Constitution, which they we'e all sworn to defend and preserve as if it were a dead thing, he declares finally, in the very last lines of his letter, that " legislation without authority and reconstruction by usurpation, is very alarming—is worse than Copper headism." This confession, Mr. Stevens, may be good for your soul. The country thank you for having made a clean breast of it even at this late hour. (Special Despatch to the World.) Confession of Bridget Durgan--a Horri ble Story. New Brunswick; N. J., Aug. 29. —This afternoon Mr. Herbert, the District At torney, called upn Bridget, at the jail, to bid her good-by. She said that she hail no feeling against him whatever ; that he had done what he thought was his duty and then added. "You must kt Mary Gilroy go." Mr. Herbert assured her that he would do what was his duty in the case. Bridget replied that Mary Gilroy I was "entirely innocent." In answer to a question from Mr. Herbert, if Mary did not know that something was going on, 1 she said that Mary did not know any ! V UOVUI lU\.

Mr. Herbert then asked her if Marv Gilroy Wi.s not there that. ; night, and Bridget replied, "Not at THAT time." Shu further stated that she did not know Mary Gilroy until she came to 1 Newmarket, and that the story ot the po -1 liceman Dennitt cn the trial, about seeing i her in New York with Mary Gilroy, was not true. During this conversation she remarked that she would do her best to save Mary Gilroy. bridust's confession. ID regard to Bridget's confession, her i statements made from time to time to the jailor, and bv him detailed to Mr. Her bert, the District Attorney, are substantial ly i.s follows: Bridget denies that her motives in com mitting the murder was robbery, but says in effect that she wished to attain a place in the household that she could not reach while Mrs. Coriel lived ; and to succeed in hsr wishes, she determined to remove her. With the purpose fixed in her mind, | she heard that the Doctor was going away that night, and would not rctLrn until morning. In the evening she got the ! butcher-knife and placed it in a convenient j spot on the table, and then sat down to talk with Mrs. ('oriel, who changed her | clean dress she had had on during the day, and threw herself on to the lounge.— I After conversing for awhile, Mrs. Coriel ' fell asleep. Bridget then got up and seiz 'ed the small chair and hit her over the ■ head. Mrs. Coriel jumped up from the lounge, took up a large chair to defend ! herself and struck at Bridget breaking a ' piece off the top of the chair, which was ; afterwards found ; Bridget then grasped the knife and rnshed upon her; Mrs. ' Coriel run to the door to escape, and suc j ceeded in getting outside, but Bridget caught her and drew her back, and as she came into the room she saw her little ! child, and stooping and kissing it cried ! out, "Oh, my poor baby !" In the strug- I gle the knife had been drawn through her hand, and when Bridget forced her through the sitting-room door she seized hold of the jamb, and also the knob, leaving the bloody marks of her hands, which were, noticed the following day. Bridget then succeeded in forcing her into the bedroom, and there stabbed her with a knife and beat her with a chair until she supposed she was dead She then poured the con tents of the lamp over Mrs. Coriel and the bed, and set fire to the latter, using as a torch a baby's calico frock wrapped up in baper. She then went and changed her clothin, and the baby's up stairs, and tip ped over and rummaged the bureau, to lead the neighbors to believe that a robbe ry had been committed. Coming down into the sitting-room, she heard Mre. Co riel raise the bed room window and open the shutters, and running round ontside of the house, saw her standing in front of the window. She dashed her back into the i burning building, closed the blind,and left with the child. The knife she secreted in 1 the outhouse in the morning. Don't Lake the Dutch. The York Tribune, is fearful of the Pennsylvania Dutch this year. Just hear it: The New York Tribune is fearful of the reeolt of the Ohio election. It is quite sure of the Western Reacrve portion of that State, because It was settled by the supori or countrymen of Mr. Greeley, from New England. But there are other counties peopled from Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky, which it distrusts. But most of all the Tribune fears another class of counties, for a reason to which we call the 'especial attention of our readers ; because tbey were settled years ago by a school hating, rum-loviog breed of Pennsylvania Dutch," fearful of amalgamation, aud 'can't abide Negro Equality.' This is no forgery—we copy it from the Tribune of Thursday, August 15. It equals in expressive contempt of l'cnnsyl vanians anything that purported to have been said by a Salem paper, and which was disclaimed as spurious. Such is the light in which our citizens are viewed by the insolent sons of New England, who esteem it a condescention to come into Pennsylvania and be made Congressmen, Judges, Legislators, A-c., by our"school -bating, rum-loving breed of Dutch. If Pennsylvania continue to vote for these proud, artogant adventurers, by whom they are thus rudely calumniated, they will deserve the contempt ot the world; and especially when they have better men among themselves to fill their offices. — Pittsburg Post. So look out for the 'Pennsylvania Dutch' as Greeley calls them, on election day, as tbey will send such an emphatic over the wires against 'Negro Equality,' and the Negro Equality candidates, as will astound old Horace himself, who muffs de feat in Pennsylvania and Ohio already. How Republican Congressmen Deplete the Treasury. The corruption of the Radical cabul, calling itself a Congress, at W ashiogton, surpasses all human understanding and experience. Not satisfied with creating new offices and increasing salaries all over the country, that body rai-ed the pay of its own members to 15,000 a year, which is at the rate of Si 4 a day for every day in the year, and probably more than S3O a day for the actual time employed. — 1 This is the exclurive of the plunder which ; every Congressman expects to secure du ring the session The character and amount of this plunder may be judged by the following item taken from the Senate Miscellaneous Document No. 53. Thir ty ninth Congress, second session, which is a detailed statement of payments from the fund of the Senate, for the year end ing December 3, iB6O, published in ac cordance with an act passed in 1642, and certified by J.

In the House the rule allows each member so much for stationery, to be paid in station ery or money, as be chooses, but statione ry is furnished in addition for all Commit tees, and ihe practice is for members to supply themselves from that furnished to Committers and then take the allowance. This is a fair specimen of the manner in which ihe people are robbed by a Radical Congress. Evt ry Congressman who lias twelve children of course wants twelve penknives, and pens and pencils in like proportion. The items enumerated would excite a lively sense of the ludicrous did they not provoke a feeling of disgust and indignation. WISCONSIN'. —The political reaction which is taking place in most parts of the country is likely to extend to Wisconsin. "In that State," says the Detroit Free Press "as in every Western State where the German compose the bulk of the Radical phalanx, the prohibition question is doing its work of disintegration. Sorre of the most influential politicians of the national ity have come out in favor of social and religions freedom, and against the Puritan doctrines of the Radicals. Upon this platform, a committee composed of ten Republicans and eight Democrats have lately issued an address to the Germans throughout the State which, if we judge from the howl set up over it by the Daily Wisconsin must be materially intefcring with the prospects of the party great mor al ideas and so little toleration. That sheet denounces the movement as a 'cop perhead committee,' entirely regardless of the circumstance that not only tho major ity of the committee are Republican, but that its secretary, Mr. Maschauer, who served with distinction as an officer during the late war, has also acted with the so called Union party. Wc have, therefore, every hope that another strongholJ of Radicalism may yet be redeemed before the next Presidential election comes off" —N.Y. World. There is good news for tea drinkers.
