Upon taking tbe cbair Mr. Tiatt, in a few

| the two great political parties—admonish- ,
i ing all to stand by the Democratic party >

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.

plicit obedience to the Constitution of tbe
; United Stales and of the State of Pennsyl
vania, each supreme within the spheres of

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.

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."

When we gaze oa the cold and motionless form,
Which Ho in his mercy has saved from tbe storm,
I We bow our heads meekly, and said to that one,
Let thy will.O.our Father,not thy servants,be be done.
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.
