What the Republican Party desire Is JCSTlCß— impartial and uoequmtcal to the BLACK NAB— and THAT it a ILL OA VK. Wyoming Republican. Why this extreme solicitude for the blacks ? What rights are denied them ? Are they not free to go and come when and where they please ? Are tbey not protected by radical laws in crowding themselves into our Ladie's cars—where white men are often excluded 1 Are they not fed and supported l>y the hard earned money ot the white men ? Ar<) not the millions expended yearly thiough the "Bureau" sufficient to satisfy them and their white- faced brethren ? Something more, it seems is wanted. — Our radical editor says "they know how to vote on the side of intelligence, freedom and right." Our State constitution give this right to "white men". Here is the rub with the tender hearted nigger, loving rads. The right to vote ss ''what they desire and will have" for their colored pets. Will the white men aidt bam in extending the rights of negroes ? Are not the white men of the country who support themselves and the niggers too-intelligent enough to make laws for themselves ? White folks let's try the experiment ! When we fail, it will be time enough to call on these intelligent niggers for help. Resolutions of Radical Co. Convention. "The following preamble and resolutions were offered by A. Hine and unanimously adopted. WHEREAS, The Republican party is a party of patriotism, decency, morality, and opposed to vice and crime. Therefore Retolved, That it is the sense of this convention tbat it would be wise and ju dicious to extend the law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drink throughout the State. Retolved , Tbat intemperance is a great evil, and that the sale of intoxicating drink should be prohibited by law, and tbat we are opposed to the repeal of any law now in existence upon that subject." A party that it the "party of Patriotism, decency, morality Ac" would not, among intelligent men, need to solemnly announce that there were such, A discriminating people, might, if there were any truth or justice in the claim, be able to discover the fact. Perhaps,however this is a recent dis covery, which the modest radicals are pro claiming to the world. They should have published it, by some other mouth piece, than a man who is so notoriously vnlgar and indecent in his every day talk as to be forbidden the store-rooms of party friends, in which to vent bis low vulgarisms. We have heard that the puritan progen itors of these "patriotic and decent" radi cals once got together and with like nDa minity resolved, Ist That the world, and avery thing there in belonged to the saints. Id. That they were the saints. No discreet man, indeed no person but the veriest fool, would stop to argue tbe question with such a logical set of self-styl ed saints and decent—cusses ? JIDATES—DRY PLATFORM built by the late radical ..vention for this County, upon which to run their candidates, when viewed in eon nectionj with the candidates themselves, most, to these not acquainted with the cir staoces, be an enigma. A strange piece of fpolitico-probibito-rum-jug-glery; by which those opposed to whiskey, are to go for the platform and the candidates, and those in favor of whiskey are to go for the candidates and the platform. It would be unjust in us to intimate that there is any tnck, any guile <o these "decent and moral 1 ' men. The explanation of this political paradox—this dry platform for wet candi dates is this: The rascally rum-sucking radt, had control of the convention against all corn er*—including snaiks. Hence on the first ballot they pitched the pot-bellied parson, the very apostle of prohibition, overboard, and he, literally "went down into the wa ter." Mace, another templar, was made to walk the plank, or figuratively speaking to take to water too. Ziba—good easy soul! who loves to see his friends wet their whistles with the beverage of their choice was the man for them. Then came the Co. Commissioner, Daniel the Ist, who lives too near a drug-store not to know that three scruples make one dram—and has no scruples when drams are to be bad.— By a simple rule in addition, he turns them into drams and then—he turns the drams into—DanieL Uncle Harry, lixe almost everybody else in his vicinity, drinks when he's dry , but isn't so seversly affected with drouths as some other men. Dr. Rhoads keeps and sells some of the "pure critter"—just for medicinal and me chanical purposes, and is out, "medically," so often "late o' nights" that his "machine ry" sometimes gets out of order. Of course he turns on a little more steam— No Templar there !—Then we come to Dauiel A., who has come up to us from au age of honest whiskey distillers, and is too old to be afraid of poison now, but i s "awful" 'fraid of diseases. To k*ep the system right, he indulges in a 'jersey treat" when it's too cold, to keep out the frost — when it's too warm to keep down the heat. ID the fall, when the air is ''agerry"—in the spring, when the spring fever's around, and at all times to fortify the system against the ravages of small-pox, whooping ; cough, measles, diptheria, scarletini,mucnps and other of the ills which humanity is heir to —all of which, Daniel don t want to "ketch." Not a man on this platform, ever saw the inside of a Templar's Lodge-room.— All, have many times in their eventful lives, snuffed the inspiriting aromaa of the bar-room, and sipped from the cut-glass decanters* And now, strangely enough, tbey find themselves on the dryest plat form ever gotten up by mortal man ! Tbfe way of it was this: The Templars, confident of success, spent tbeir time in concocting ttrong resolutions in favor of a weak beverage. The rumites meanwhile, were busy treating up voters for tbeir del egates. The result was as expressed by one of the defeated ones " a triumph for the "rum-guzzling Republicans." About the close of the indecent proceedings of this "decent party," and about the time Jakey waR cooling bis rage in the "raging canawl," the rumite* had got very thirsty; and before Dick, whose throat had got pretty husky too, could say amen 1 tine die, or in any way stop the flow of "decen - cy" they were making 2-40 time towards the taverns and other dispensatories of cold poison. This hegira left a hole in the breeches—seat of this very decent party. Hine came to the rescue; and with caudal apendage of the nethermost garment sticking out, •'And tha wind a blowing," they preambled that tbey were "patriotic and dcceDt," and resolved to put down king AlcohoL Dick, dry as he was, courageously essay ed to speak, but was hissed down by tongues, if possible more parched than his. The good old Elisha who had just got over his scare from maikt tried to talk down the resolutions. The hissing of the water loving geese was more terrible to bim, even than adder's tongues* He dried up. and the preamble and resolutions were passed by an overwhelming majority. This explains the contradiction between candidates and platform—A platform which most if not all of thenuspit on and re pudiate; an! which, if not stained with whiskey-slops before they are elected, will give thtm a better title to "decency mor ality and temperance" than tliey now seem to merit. In an article opposing somebody's plan for paying off tbe federal bonds with a new issue of greenbacks, the New York Tribune says, "Such an act would sbame any swindler who ever'altered counterfeit money or passed off bogus checks," and that no one will countenance any of these devices tor evading debts instead of pay ing them, who is not in heart and soul a villain." What, then, does it say to the act of the Radical officials of Pennsylvania who, a couple of years ago, repudiated tbe con'ract which the State had entered into to pay interest on the State loan in coin, and gave its creditoas greenbacks ? Are they swindlers and villains? If it was constitutional and honest to pay good debts in greenbacks, it will be constitutional and honest to do it again. RADICAL THUNDER. The Radical State Coupnittee are circu lating through tbe State, endeavoring to place in the hands of Democrats, a lying document, appealing to the pecuniary in terest of the voter. We give it entire, and also annex some comments upon it. Read it and notice its falsehoods : FACTS FOR GOVERNMENT BOND HOLDERS. AND THE IIOLDERS Of GREENBACKS. READ, REFLECT—AND HAND TO YOUR NEIGHBOR. In 1861, eleven States seceded; and since then ooly twenty-three have been represented in Congress, until the admis sion of Tennesee in 1866. All the United States Bonds— 5-20', 7- 30's and 10-40's—all the greenbacks, and all tbe National Baoks, were created by this Congress ot twenty-three States. President Johnson calls this an "assum ed Congress" —therefore not legal. His supporters and the Democrats call it a u rump Congress " and a " usurping; Con gress," and beoce, not a lawful Congress; and tbe great effort has been to elect Con -1 gressmen in tbe North, and admit enough from the rebel States to enforce this"/ > o/- cy-* If a Congress, representing but twenty three States, be not a lawful Coogres, then every United States Bond, and all our greenbacks, and National Bank notes are worth nothing; because an unlawful Con gress could not make lawful Bonds or law Jul money. The mad effort, so recently made by the rebels and their sympathizers, to destroy this Government by force of arms failed. Thus far, the attempt to do the same thing through Congress, has also failed, because of the action of tbe loyal voters at the bal lot-box ; and thelast effort at destruction is now being made THROCOH THE COURTS. Witness the recent attempt by Demo cratic lawyers to induce the Supreme Court of the United States to issue an injunction, nullifying the Reconstruction Laws of Con gress in Mississippi, Georga, and other rebel States- Read also the opinion of GEORGE SHABSWOOD, the Demociatic nom inee forjudge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in which he gravely denies the constitutional power of Congress to make paper money a legal tender. ~ ( Doric ' us. Trotl, Legal Intilligencer of March 18th 1864, page 92.) Judges WOODWARD and | TAOMPSQN ot the same Court, announced iroin the bench the same alarming Doctrine jin 1865. ( See tier vine vi. Sailor, et al., 1 Legal Intelligencer of June 16 <Sc 30—1865 pages 188 A 205.) And this, too, in the face of the fact. ' that the Superior Courts of every loyal : State in which the question has been rais— • ed, have sustained the power of Congress, j •- It requires, therefore, but little koowl ' edge of either arithmetic or,law, to estimate j the imminent danger of putting any more J men of Judge SHARSWOOD'S opinions on i the Supreme Bench of the State ! I If you believe the present Congress to ! be unlawful, or desire our National curren cy and Government Bonds to be declared I unlayful, vote for GEOKOE SHARSWOOD. If you believe the piesent Consress to , unlawful, or desire their action on Curren cy and Bonds to stand good, vote to sus i tain thern, —for the party that created the j Greenbacks and the Bonds. LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE. When secession came, Democrats sus tained the Government, shed their blood, invested their money in 5-20's, 7-30's, and 10 40's sent their members to Congress, and obeyed the laws that a Congress of twenty-three States enacted. That was their Government and they loved it, they defended it, and many of them, died for it, During the war, eleven States were not represented in Congress, and they refused to be. That was a lawful Congress, all obeyed it and all of its laws are binding under the Constitution. When the war was over the South sub mitted, th*n the Radicals kept them out to give the negro power. They w acted out side ot the Constitution," as Thaddeus Ste vens says. i If it be true, that the Democrats are try ing to destroy this Government, how strange it is that they should bold its bonds and notes, and fight and die for it. Their object is to preserve it, to bring it within the Constitution, to govern according to law, to economise its resources, and to pay its debts. Are your Bonds and greenbacks safer inside the Constitution or outside of it. If we have no Constitution, as Stevens says, what security bsve yon for your debt.— The Constitution is the title deed to the property that your debt is a lien upon. In the case of Borie agaiDSt Trott, Judge Sharswood decided that a man who agreed to pay a debt in gold should pay it in gold, Was not this right ? He did not decide the question of the power of Congress. You hold a 5-20 or a 10-40 bond, the interest is payable in gold. The Govern ment agreed to pay you in gold. The Radicals and their Judges say the Gov ernment may pay you in paper. Judge Sharswood holJs that a contract to pay in gold should be enforced, which best suits yon ? Which is the more honest? Do you see where this Radical doctrine leads you f They already say that the principal of the Bonds may be paid in pa per. If Judge Williams decides that your interest is payable in paper, is your con tract with the Government carried out?— Will he not so decide? They will pay in paper if their extrava gance makes it necessary. The iuterest on our State Bonds was payable in cold, thejlaw made it so, [See Act of 1810.) In 1864, when gold was 166 the Radicals in the Legislature passed a law making it payable in paper, on the ground that they could save money, [see Legislative liec. '64.) Are you any more secure than the Bond holders of the State ? The expenses of the Government are more than its income. The Radicals are expending two hundred and twenty-five millions of your money for this year.— The Democrats spent sixty-two millions the last year they were in power, for the same purposes. Can you sustain this ex travagance ? Does not the security of your debt consist in prudent management, economy in public business, and in nour ishing and developing onr resources ? Are the Radicals pursuing this course 1 If you wish your bond and its interest paid in paper and your contract with the Government violated, vote for HENRY W. WILLIAMS. If vou want contracts between man and man, and between the Government and yourself carried out, vote for GEOBGK SHARSWOOD. * ADDRESS OF State Central Committee. To the People of Pennsylvania: The Radicals attempt to evade the practical issues of the canvass and to de lude you into the support of their candi dates* They alone are accountable for the prostration of your business interests.— They have deliberately sacrificed tbem in order to place in tbe bands of Southern Negroes, the balance of power in tbe lie pnblic)and thus preserve their own rule.— More than two years have passed since peace was restored, and we still look in vain for increased products from the South to aid us in paying the interest on our debt, aod for her prosperous customers to buy our woolen, iron and other manufac tures, . Instead of receiving aid to pay our debt, we are taxed to maintain a freed raan's bureau and a standing army in the South. Instead of prosperous customers to increase our trade, every business in terest languishes. Radical mismanagement, a negro policy, and Radical extravagance, weigh dowD our energies and fetter our resources. The whole expense of the War Depart ment in 1860 was sixteen and a half mil lions, whilst in 18G7, it is estimated by the Treasury at forty-seven millions, both being periods of peace. To give the Negro the power to rule us, therefore, costs the nation annually thirty millions. Of this amount, Pennsylvania's share is at least one-tenth, and your industry must annual ly pay three mifhuns of dollars to support a pohcy that closes your woolen mills and stops your factories. In your State affairs, mismanagement, corruption and extravagance are the rule. .In 1860, under Democratic power the whole amount of mon<y appropriated, and expended, independent of funded debt and military expense, as shown by the Treasu ry was nine kuvdred and ninety-eiyht thou sand dollars. In 1864, excluding the same items, the Radicals appropriated and expended one million three hundred and seventy-nine thousand dollars. In 18C5, excluding the some items, the Radicals ap propriated and expended one million five hundred and n neteen thousand dollars, anl in iB6O, excluding the game items, they appropriated and expended TWO MILLIONS AND ELEVEN TIIOL'SAND DOLLARS. The reports of the Auditor General show these facts, and prove that is six YEARS OF RADICAL RULE, YOUR CASH EXPENSES HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED. The men who have thus wasted yonr substance, prate of their loyalty and their sacrifices, and would maintain their hold upon the public treasury by fixing your attention upon other issues- You are op pre.-sed by taxation through"intenjal reve nue and other machinery, as no other peo ple ever were. It takes from you, your legitimate profits ai d gives you no ens- tomers. It compels you to stop m mufac ttuing and to discharge your workmen*— Your gords remain unsold and your oper atives suffer. Can you expect relief from this grinding taxation, so long as these enormous expenditures continue. Relief can only come throngh economy in pub lic affairs, a reduction in your expenses, and the discharge of corrupt and extrava gant officials. It is their parpose to violate the great principle, "that each State has the right to determine the qualifications of its own electors," and give the negroes of Penn sylvania the balance of power between the two great political parties. Negro suffrage is to be forced upon you by Congressional enactment, and your "Supreme Court is to be placed in harmony" with that law, by electing Judge Williams, who is relied up on to decide that the negro is entitled to a right which you and your organic laws deny him. In the Senate of the United States, in Jnly last, the recognized leader of the Radicals of this State, voted to pro ceed to consider a bill that was introduced by Wilson of Massachusetts, to effect this infamous purpose. DEMOCRATS or PKNIVSTLVANIA ! Let the result in California arouse you to to renewed exertion. Work is to be done, and you must do it. Committees may plan and order, but the resnlt depends upon youiselves. Individual effort is the road to victory See your neighbor, en courage him, bring him to the polls. Per fect your organizations. Block your wards and townships. Subdivide the la bor and perform it with energy. Press home upon your adversaries the reabissues of the canvass. Demand of them that they shall answer: Are you for or against the Radical pol icy that destroys our business and closes our work shops, mills and factories, to give the negro the balance of power ? Are you for or against continued cor ruption, mismanagement and extrava gance ? Are you for or against conceding to Congress, the right to allow the negro the power to rule Penhsylvania. By order of the Democratic State Com mittee. WM. A, WALLAGE, Chairman. Patriots look at this fact: Tenne see seceded from the Union and now gives a Radical majority of 30,000 ! Kentucky remained true to the Union, sent 83,000 men intothe Federal armies, and now polls .60,000 Democratic majority ! What more is necessary to prove that Radicalism is really treason, and that the men now fight ing President Johnson and Grant are "traitors at the other end of the line ?" Ponder this fact. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. —Some fellow writing to the New York Times, says that afitr having a conversation witK Gen Grant he thinks that Gen. is loyal. Just think of the impertiuence of a man doubting the loyalty of Grant, the general in chief. It is because Grant is the Secretary of war to President Johnson, that Radicals doubt his loyalty and would destroy him. Ac cording to the Radicals nobody is loyal except themselve.— Ex, GSNERA.X.
