Democratic Club Meeting. Pursuant to notice the Democrats of Tunkhannock Borough and vicinity as j sembled at the Court House in this place 1 on Saturday evening last for tbe purpose \ of organizing a Democratic Club for the ensuing Presidential campaign. In the . absence of the Chairman of tbe Democrat- I ic Standing Committee, Hon. Wm. M. 1 Piatt called tbe meeting to order, and ex- j plained its object—he: was also called to the Chair to preside over its deliberations. Upon taking tbe cbair Mr. Tiatt, in a few brief remarks, revieweJ in a candid and impartial manner the issues which divide , | the two great political parties—admonish- , i ing all to stand by the Democratic party > if they wonld preserve constitutional gov ernmcnt, and transmit it to posterity, as handed down to us by our fathers. A, Day and Harvey Sickier were chos en Secretaries. The following Preamble and Constitu - tion were read and adopted by the Club: PREAMBLE. I We, the Democrats of Wyoming Coun ty, of the State of Pennsylvania, believing that the perpetuity of Republican Institu- ! tions depends upon the maintenance of Democratic principles in the administra-1 tion of the Government, State and Federal, and that upen the Democratic party main- , ly must we rely to check Radicalism now ; threatening to overthrow the Constitution al Government of our fathers, blot out sovereign States, and subvert the libei tics of the people; in order to secure such thorough organization of the Democratic ' party, as will make it efficient in promul- j gating its principles, and to defi-al the evil machinations and purposes of its enemies, whether sought to be accomplished at the polls or by fraud and violence elsewhere ; j I hereby pledging each to the other and to | the world to devote ourselves to the work :of reclaiming our beloved country from the misrule of a band of desperate fanatics, corruptioiiLts and conspirators, and in this , sacred cause mutually to support and pro (tect each other, do associate ourselves and adopt the following CONSTITUTION. ARTICLE 1. The name of this Association, is " THE CENTRSL DEMOCRATIC CLUB OF WYO MING COUNTY." Its Officers shall consist of a President, I i Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and , an Executive Committee, composed of three members of the Club. ARTICLE 11. The objects of this Association are : FIRST —The attainment of a perfect knowledge of the character of the institu tions of our country, and SECOND —A complete organization of the Democratic party, to insure the suc cess of its principles. PROMINENT among those principles we DECLARE TO BE, im plicit obedience to the Constitution of tbe ; United Stales and of the State of Pennsyl vania, each supreme within the spheres of powers granted or reserved to each ; the ' right of each State to regulate the qualifi cations of its electors ; the exclusive right of the white man to govern tbe ration through tbe ballot; strict subordination of the military to the civil power ; trial by jury ; free speech and a free press ; just and equal taxation upon all descriptions of property ; economy in the expenditures of i the public money, and a speedy return to a i specie paving basis. ARTICLE IIL Any qualified elector of this State may become a member of this Club by"siguing I I this Constitution. The President, Vice President, Secreta- I ry, Treasurer arid Executive Committee 1 ( shall hold their offices for one year, and , ' until their successors are elected, if they , shall so long behave themselves and main | tain thcii standing in the Democratic party. 1 Tbe Secretary shall correspond with the > head of the State and other CouDty Com mittees, i . ARTICLE IV. ! This Association is declared to be a sub ' ordinate branch of the Organization of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, and will act as an auxiliary thereto. AND WE, ITS OFFICERS AND MEMBERS, DO HEREBY PLEDGE OURSELVES to aid with all our 1 j power and energy in the spread of Demo . cratic principles, by the perfect canvass of our election district; by regular meetings I and discussions; by the circulation of ; newspapers and documents, and by vigor ous woik on and before election day to get out and poll our full vote, On motion a Committee of three, con sisting of A. Day, O. L. Parrish and Thos. ' Osterbout, was appointed to draft a set of By-Laws to be presented at the next meet [ ing of the Club for consideration. The same Committee was empowered with ! authority to secure a proper room for the ' regular meetings of the Club. O. L. Parrish, Esq., was called for and 1 made a few pertinent remarks which were were well received by the audience. He particularly urged the importance of cir- , culating Democratic newspapers especial ly our local organ, the Wyoming Democrat, ' as efficient aids in converting the people to aoond Democratic principles, and there- j by build up and strengthen the great con stitutional party of the country. Harvey Sickier, being called for, review ed the political situation of affairs, con trasting the Republican party of six or seven years ago with modern Radicalism, showing a wide departure from the princi ples upon which they elected their Pres ident and the doctrines laid down for the suppression of the rebellion and preserva tion of the Union with the rights and dig- ; nity of the States unimpaired. In the hour of their triumph they ignored the , Constitution and were endeavoring to in corporate into the body politic the negro element in order—as members of Congress had already boasted—to perpetuate their j . party power. Tin States of the Union had already been put under the doroina | tion of the negro race with this view, by ' the arbitrary and unconstitutional acts of i the Rump Congress. Not even General , Grant or any person nominated by the Radical revolutionary party should receive the support of a single friend of Constitu- I tional liberty—for it is well known that he or any other man cannot become the can didate of the Radicals without first sub scribing to their doctrines. On motion, the Club adjourned to meet at the Court House one week hence— Saturday evening, January lltb, at 7 ! o'clock. WM. M. riATT, Tres. A. DAY, ) c , H. SICKLEK, j' tC - S ' . General Hancock An intrestiog interview between Gen'l Hancock and the Chief of Police of New Orleans,is described in the Picayune of that city. The latter official, it appears had certain prisoners in his custody, and had determined to disobey a writ of habeas cor pus issued from the civil court. The account in the Picayune thus refers to the inter view ; General Hancock stated to Major Will iamson. Chief of Police, that he haa learned that a writ of habeas corpus had been isued and that owing to some illegaliiv it was probable that it wonM not be obeyed.— That writ Mr. Chief of Police, [remarked General H.,]mnt be obeyed. 1 will hold you responsible in tbis matter. Those | prisoners must be produced. I believe you will produce them, but I will myself take the necessary precaution that they be pro ! duced. I have issued an order tbjit the writ of habeas corpus is to be observed, and lit shall be, I ainjhere to protect the digni ty of the government, and the rights of the ! people as to life, liberty, and property, must be preserved. So long as I am in power | here, the law shali be respected. I know nothing Mr. Chief of Police about ! this case ; do not know what these men are i charged with, but it is sufficient for roe to know, and you to know that a writ of hale as corpus has been issued and that writ shall be respected I will sink the boat in the middle of the river with cannon that takes these men on board, and intercept any train of cars that caries them. If the law is not observed, who and what is safe ? I may be taken away, you may be, any of us may be Justice must be upheld. I hoW you there fore, Mr. Cbiet of Police, responsible for the delivery of these men before J ndge Thearb, in obedience to that writ. DENIED ADMITTANCE. —John Hickman of West Chester [Pa.], Jacohin Member of Congrcs elect, is about on a par wiih Tiiad. Stevens in his admirtaion for the negro.— On that subject he is a little insane. A few weeks ago, Fred. Douglass, the negro orator wa3 invited to West Cheser to make a speech to his sable brethren. To show that he practiced what he preached Hick man extended an invitation to Douglass to be his guest during his stay in town, which invitation was accepted. The best chamber in HickmanV elegant mansion was put in tiim, and the large parlors thrown open for the accommodation of the Boston negro. Mrs. Hickman, however, had no stomach for all this ; and, when Douglass arrived and was about to set foot in the elegant parlors, she confronted him and gave a per emptory order that he should leave pointing at the same time, to the lront door. And leave he did, to find quarters with some one of his own color. This is another evi dence that however much some men may prate about "equality of the races," white women cannot and will not become the advocate* c.f the detestible doctrine. Mrs. Hickman is a Carlisle lady, and deserves credit for her determination to resist the at tempt of her husband to make her home a negro rendezvous. — Carlisle Volunteer. X3T The " Herald " is analyzing the speeches, etc,, of the negro delegates in some of the mongrel conventions, Sonth, to show the spirit which animates them. For instances : "In the Louisiana Reconstruction Conven tion the ignorant and fanatical negro Jaco bin delegates seem to be making considera ble trouble. One of them, in a debate the other day—Cromwell by name, and Crom well by nature, on a small scale —declared himself ready for a war of races. "We don't intend," said he, "to git down on our knees and beg for our rights," but "we will rule till de last one ob us goes down forcb ber. Gentlcmens, much is said of anudder rehellntion. 1 say if we can,t get our rights on a full equality wid de whites, let it come let de rebcllution come" And so goes on the work of reconstruction in I<oui*iana.— General Hancock's recent order, subordin ating the military to the civil authorities and the laws, has evidently taken something of the conceit out of the ultra Jacobins and given some hope to the conservatives of fair plav. To get rid of him as soon as pos sible the Jacobin convention will doubtless make haste with the work before them and try to get under the wing of Congress as a full-blown reconstructed State." The Strife Of Races. Tbe Convention to make a Constitution for Louiaiaua elected a negro for Its temp orary Chairman, and a like convention in Alabama by the vote ofa majority, compos- j ed chiefly of negroes disfranchised from forty to fifty thousand whitecitizens or that State. These are facts well fited to arrest the earnest attention of tbe white people of the country. They show to what length the unscrupulous and desperate Radical Republican party will go in degrading the whites and elfevatirg the blacks, in order to keep perpetual hold of political power in the land. But that is not all they show. They indicate something far more import ant. And what ? This : A purpose to pot into the hands of the negroes of the country certainly at the South—that balance of power that casting vote in our Presidential aud Congressional elections, which will enable the black race to be the actual dom inant and ruling element in our national politics, and, of course the Governing power in the Fedeial Government ! In other words thirty odd millions of white people in the United States, are by a trick of Con grcsg, to be deprived of all pratical control in the National Government, ar.d three mil lions of ignorant Africans are to be made, on the principle that the smallest and most worthless pebble will turn an evenly bal anced scale, the preponderate and directive power in our political system !!! This fact is coming out clearer and clearer every hour from the dim and fermenting ami slowly crystalized chaos of onr affairs, and if the white people do not rise in defence of their own sovereignty they will see it snatched away by a miserable minority of semi-civilized Ethiopians ! !— Ex Thad. Stevens stated one fact in the Rump, the other day. He said the condi tion of affairs in the South was "worse than during the rebellion." Persons who have traveled extensivly over the Southern States, during the past few months,declare that tbe Rump "policy" has prostrated every industrial interest; brought thousands of both whites and blacks to the verge of starvation and created the most widespread alarm among the defenceless whites, who have been given over as victims to the ra pacious, brutal and tyrannical blacks. Thousands of white men are sacrificing their lands and other property, and with their families, are harrying to tb® North and west, for fear of the blacks, who in every State are armed, drilled and leagued for insurrection and massacre of the white people. On y a few days ago a Radical leader [a Col. Moss, of Missouri] stated at a Radical meeting in Washington, that there were three hundred and ten thousand negroes thus banded and armed. The soldiers of the Federal army, during the war, were angels of mercy compared with the now dominant nigger horde aud the Radical Yankee cormorants who lead them. To the South "leconstruction" is fast prov ing itself a besom of destruction. — Jtffir sonian. THF. NECKO OR NOTHING.—The New York Independent gives the wLole program me of its party thus: •' Every national question, save the question of tbe negro, might be just as safely trusted to the Democratic party as to the Republican. If therefore, the Re publican party threw over board the negro, we shall straightway move to throw over j board the Republican party. "Let cowards say what they will," remarks a Philadelphia Jacobin organ, the ! impeachment of Andrew Johnson was a measure to which the republican party was | pledged. The republican party could not escape the responsibility, and had no way of preventing the issue except by flight. It chose cowardice as a refuge. The Capitol surrendered to the White House ! Andrew I Johnson is the hero of the day." Married, GILLSON—INGHAM—At the residence of the bride's father, in Meshoppen, Jan tat, by Her. E. F. Roberts, George D. GilUon of Athens, and Miss Jennie P.

The light of those eyes that we cherished most dear, Will shine in their softness no more on us here— , The tongue that ne'er spoke but in accents of lore, i Now joins in the choir of Angels above above. IWe would not be mortal—we would Dot be weak, Did the tear-drop not silently steal down onr cheek, For she was the bright sunlight that lighted our sky. And we groaned in our anguish when death hovered nigh. Our darling is gone but no more we'll repine, For we trost that in Heaven her pretence does shine, And we'll earnestly walk in the straight narrow way That thai we may meet her in God's chosen day.
