"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. IPs opinion of us, as an
i individual, is of DO consequence. Only as it
affords us gratification that a man who
| promulgates the doctrines that he does,places
jus in opposition to himself and his social
I equals.
Are the people of Wyoming County pre
pared to endorse tbis new doctrine or the
man who promulgates it? Lot them answer
at the ballot box.

many a contested field will testify, and ther

APPROPRIATE.—The Radical prpss par
ty trenerally are urging a meeting of Radi
cal Governors, and one paper suggests that
the dedication of the Antietam Cemetery
on the 17th instant would afford an excel

place for a Radical gathering.
CoysisTRNCT.—A Portland correspond
ent of the Boston Txanseript states that he
was personally acquainted with sixtv-nine
members of the last Legislature of Maine,
and of these sixty-one kept spirituous li

and most of them favored prohibition.—
This has a bad look for the State that orig

TAXATION.—Some shrewd writer, who
had evidently studied the subject thorough
ly thus discourses upon our system of tax

•Now you see in the first place thev get
tbe amount of a feller's business. That is
taxed. Then they find out how much, he
earns every month, and that's taxed. Then
tbey find out all about his profits, and that
they tax. Then they manage to get some
tax on what he owes. 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

THE TRUTH CONFESSED.
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.

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,

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

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 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. —

sufficient to supply all their friends or set
up variety stores in the country. 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"

have been holding back their supplies in
the hope of raising prices, have, it is said
received advices to realize.

The now system of Advertising adopted by
Geo. P. Rowell k Co., Advertising Agenn,
No. 40 Park Row, New York, is attracting a
good deal of attention.
The following extract frcm a speech deliv
ered before theN. Y. State Editorial Conven
tion, (lately bclden at Penn Yan,)by a prom
inent Advertising Agent of N. Y. city, goes
to show that he at least acknowledges its
advantages.
From Jamestown. N. Y. Journal of Aug 2nd
Edited by C. E. BISHOP, Chairman of
Committee on ADVERTISING AGENCIES.
"Mr. Pettingill spoke in opposition to that
plan frotp 'he publisher's stand point alone.
He showed the publisher# that by ibis system
of contiacnng they were giving lower rates
than they gave their own home customer# or
others equally as prompt and good customers;
that they were selling one portion of their
paper to be used to compete with and under
bid the other columns; that the owner of the
space thus sold could cou.e right, in and beat
the publisher's prices and take his bosine#*
away from him ; that if the publishers, lully
understanding this, sull wish to continue
so irregultr and business like a system he
(Pettingill & Co.) should of course cease try
ing to get advertising for the papers at ihetr
regular rates and go into the other system of
contracting—which he could stand if the
printers Could."
The anxiety on the account, of newspapers
is uncalled for. There is not one in twenty
whico would not prefer to receive all their
foreign patronage on this plan, when it is
fully understood. It is too generally recog
nized as thoroughly beneficial to all parties
concerned to be injured in the least by any
thing which uiay be said against it by inter
ested parties.
Advertiser* should send for a circular giv
ing full explanations.
