Hon. ASA PACKER.
We wotice a movement among the Dem
ocratic masses of this state, favoring the
nomination of the IION. ASA PACKER, FOR
PRESIDENT, at the Democratic National
Convention to be held at New York, on
| the 4th proximo. Judge Packer is a man
not without fame neither abroad nor in
his own country. One so intimately con
| nected with the working, industrial mass
es—with whom he has always been a friend
and co-worker—one who has spent the
best years of his life in improving and de
veloping the resources of state —
and withal, one who, while yet in the vigor
: and prime of life and in all probability has
many years in which to nsc and enjoy his
hard earned fortune —deals it out with such
a wiliiog heart and open hand—must needs
I have a strong hold on the confidence and
affections of the people. Judge Packer as
the candidate of the democracy would car-
I ry Pennsylvania by an overwhelming ma
! jority ; and by bis great talents and nnas
-1 suming manners v.ould honor and dignify
| any position in the gift #f the people.
We most cheerfully second his nomina
tion to the Presidential chair.
Judging the capacities of Grant, by
the history of his early exploits and pred
ilections as recorded, by bis doating dad,he
would make a first rate hostler for a third
rate hotel, if his habits acquired since be
has grown up, would not make it neces
sary for him to occupy too many of the
stalls, himself. The country requires a
man with more brains and less boss; more
statesmanship and less whisky drinking,
for its chief magistrate, (as to the whisky
drinking propensities of the great smokist,
sec numerous radical papers of last win
ter).
£3T The nigger equality ticket is made
up on the Kangaroo principle. It is very
decidedly the biggest behind, Colfax, at
the tail, though lacking in statesmanship,
has bad some experience in the political
affairs of the country. Grant, at tbe head,
is as innocent of ideas in governmental af
-1 fairs as a real animal of the class represent
ed by him and his tail-piece. It cannot
be doubted, that the Kangaroos down
[ South and elsewhere will stand by tbe
ticket.
MRS. LINCOLN'S IDEA OF GRANT. —In
the book recently issued under he sanc
tion of Mrs. Lincoln, purporting to be
i written by a colored seamstress long in
her employ, the following estimate of Gen.
Grant appears in a domestic colloquy be
tween Mrs. Lineoln and her husband :
" He is a butcher, and is not fit to be at
the head of the army." And when the
President said, byway, of defending tho
General, " But he has been very success
ful, " she replied; •' Yes, be generally man
ages to claim a victory ! He loses two
men to the enemies one. If the war
should last longer, he be in power, he
would depopulate the North. According
to bistactics, there is nothing under the
heavens to do but to march a new lot of
men up in front of the rebel breastworks, j
to be shot down as fast as they lake their
position. Graut I repeat, is an obstinate
fool and a butcher."
Impeachment and conviction of the
President were to bring success to the
Chicago ticket. Said old Thad. Stevens ;
"If the President is not convicted, the Rad
ical candidate will carry but two Northern
States—Masaacbusetti and Vermont."
The Interest of the White Toilers of the
North in the Presidential Election.
To tbe unemployed poor of New York
a Presidential election, with all that it im
plies, is a matter of life and death. To
the wealthy it may be an exciting stimu
lus ; the well-to-do, a holiday, pastime ;
but to the unemployed poor it is virtually
and actually a matter of life and death.—
It is a battle which is to decide the fate of
millions, but it is well to rerrember that
it is a battle in which the rich have no ad
vantages over the poor in point of weap
ons. The ballot is as effective in the
hands of a mechanists in those of a mil
lionaire. The one thing necessary is to
use it- Another point well worth remem
bering is, that in elections numbers is the
only thing that tells, and the advantage of
numbers is ever on the side of the Democ
racy, for the toiling millions always out
number the men of leisure, and the De
mocracy can truly say, "the poor are al
ways with us." A Democratic victory is,
therefore, emphatically the triumph of La
bor, and is a matter of as vital interest to
tbe poor woman who sews and stitches
fourteen hours out of the twenty-four, as
to any Presidential candidate. There is ;
not a dweller in a miserable attic in New
Yoik whose hard lot would not be render
ed more endnrably by the overthrow of
the accursed party that" for eight long
years have been practicing on tbe life of
the Republic, that reaped a profit from
every blow the artisan struck, and every
stitch the needlewoman sewed ; that drove
the poor into miserable tenements, in or
der <liat room might be made for their pal
atial mansions, and force them to pay tax
es, not on their incomes—that would be a
slight matter—but on every morsel thy
ate and every rag they wore, that the
bonds of the rich may go untaxed and their
interest be paid in gold.
We hear enough of equality now-a-days
to sicken ar.y one of the word. Of course
social equality between man and man no
one is mad enough to propose ; but social
equality with the Man and Brother is
quite a different thing. Now, there is one
species of equality that a Democratic vic
tory would be likely to secure—an equali
ty that every fair minded man would like
to see, but which these equality praters
never think of, ar.d that is equality of taxa
tion. We arc for equality of taxation;
let the burden be distributed evenly all
over, and let the rich man hear his own
I load. We had enough of the substitute
business during the war—more than
i enough, heaven knows ; but let it end
! with the war. The poor shouldered raui
j kets for the rich then ; must they should
! er the responsibilities now ?
This is the question the next Presiden
tial election is to decide. Before it every
other pales. In comparison with it every
question is of minor importance. A few
; months from now and we shall know
whether a privileged class is to be saddled
j on the country ; whether caste, under the
most insidious form, is to prevail, with the
taxpayer as pariah.— Metropolitan Record.
Something Wrong.
The individual who denies the right of
' voting to the negro in Ohio, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Kansas, or any other State
where the negro was born a freeman, and
by long association with his particular
friends, who are always controlled by
i "grand moral ideas," and from other stir
rounding circumstances, might possess
| some knowledge of q§r system of govern
ment, and then claims the franchise for
him in Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, and
| other States, where he was born a slave,
i and of necessity ignorant of the rights and
duties of a freeman, must be a fool, or ho
supposes his neighbors to be such, If but
half is true, with reference to the ignorance
and debauchery of the late slaves, that
their particular friends have for a quarter
of a century said about them, tbev are
wholly unfit to exercise the right of sufl
rage. Yet we see and hear those who
I claim to be honest, upright God-fearing
men, vehement and loud in their demands
to give the ignorant Southern negro the
ballot, while they deny it to their free
"brother" in the North. Can a man be
considered honest who reverses himself so
completely ?
In our view he must be as ignorant as
he would have us believe the late slaves to
have been, or he is a rascal of 4he first
water. The man who thus deals with his
neighbors' liberties lias but few scruples to
overcome until be is ready to rob him of
his property, and will, if the opportunity
offers, exchange his patriotism for "green
backs," — at forty per cent, discount at that.

A SENSATION—AN ELOPEMENT.— One
! Sterling, a white Yankee schoolmaster,
who has spent a year among the niggers
j of this town, with the pretence of teaching
, the young colored idea how to shoot, and
the old colored idea how to vote, has sud
denly committed a deed which creates
general remark among the citizens, and
removes him, temporarily, at least from
his sphere of his usefulness. He, of course
preferred the aristocratic society of the
darkies, and took up his bed and board
ing among them, ignoring the existence of
the white trash altogether. Not unnatu
rally. he foimed an attachment for one of
our buxom maidens of the copper colored
persuasion, named Alice, a very excellent
and useful aid to a most trusty washer
woman of this city. Miss Alice, it seems
reciprocated the passion, and on Monday
night the happy pair took their departuie
for parts unknown. The general feeling
among all classes of our people is, that
Miss Alice has made a bad bargain, and
married far beneath her station, as she was
a lady of fine appearance, with most invi
ting physical conformation. We are sor
ry for Alice.— Summit ( Mist.) Times.

Grant's Acceptance—Oral and Written.
On Friday evening, of last week, the
committee appointed by the Chicago Con
vention to inform General Grant of his
nomination, waited on him at his residence
in Washington. The committee wa9 head
ed by General Ilawley of Connecticut, and
among other notabilities who made up the
body, was one of the negro delegates to the
Convention, a full-blooded African from
North Carolina. Colfax was present, and
about two hundred persons witnessed the
ceremony. General Hawley made a rad
ical speech to Grant, assuring him that the
Republican party were fully resolved to
carry out the doctrines of negro suffrage
and negro equality. To this, Gen. Grant
replied as follows :
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the
National Union Convention: I will en
deavor in a very short time, to write you a
letter accepting the trust you have impos
ed upon me. [Applause.] Expressing
my gratitude for the confidence you hare
placed in me, I will now say but little oral
ly, and that is to thank you for the unani
mity with which you have selected me as
a candidate for the Presidential office. 1
can say, in addition, I looked on during
the progress of the proceedings at Chica
go with a great deal of interest, and am
gratified with the harmony and unanimity
which seem to have governed the deiibera
tions of the Convention. If chosen to fili
the high office for which you have selected
me. I w ill give to its duties the same en
ergy, the same spirit, and the same will,
that I have given to the performance of all
duties which have devolved upon me hith
ertoforc. Whether I shall be able to per
form these duties to your entire satisfac
tion, time will determine. You have tru
ly said, in the course of your address, that
that I shall have no policy of my own to
interfere against the will of the people.
The candidate for Vice President, Col
fax, having more brains, made a more ex
tended speech.
The letter of acceptance was immedi
ately forthcoming, and for its verbosity is
about equal to the speech. Here it is.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29, 18113.
To General Joseph R. Hnwlcy, President
of the National Union Republican Con
vention.
In formally accepting the nomination of
the National Union Republican Conven
tion oftlie 21st of May, inst., it seems
proper that some statement of views he
voml the mere acceptance of the nomina
should be expressed, The proceedings of
the Convention were marked with wisdom,
moderation and patiiotism, and 1 believe
express the feelings of the great mass of
those who sustained tlie country througfl
its recent trials. I endorse their resolu
tions, and if elected to the office of I*r *si—
dent of the United States, it w ill be my en
deavor to administer all the law s in good
faith, with economy, and with the view of
giving peace, quiet and protection every
where. In times like the present it is im
possible, or at least eminently improper, to
lav down a policy to be adhered to, right
or wrong. Through an administration of
four years new political issues not foreseen
are constantly arising. The views of the
public on old ones are constantly changing,
and a purely administrative officer should
always be left free to execute the will of
the people. I always hare respected
that will and alwais shall. Peace and
universal prosperity, its consequence, with
economy of administration, will lighten the
burden of taxation, while it constantly re
duces the national d-.bt. Let us have
peace.
With great respect, you obedient ser
vant,
U. S. GRANT.
Beyond Grant's endorsement of the
Radical platform, the letter is meaningless,
and shows that he undoubtedly intends to
play a dummy game through the campaign.
Colfax's letter is lengthy and enunciates
the most radical views, which he promises
to adhere to. — Ex,
ANOTHER OUTRAGE —On Tuesday, of
last week, the House Radicals expelled
General Morgan (Democrat), of Ohio,front
his seat, and gave it to the contestant, De
lano, a Radical. This is another of those
outrages on the right of the people to be
represented bv representatives of their own
choice, which has made this Congress and
the last so infamous. General Morgan
was fairly elected to the seat he held, and
the Radicals on the Election Committee
who signed the majority report against
him knew it. lie comes from a district
(the Thirteenth) which has uniformly gone
Democratic, and will no doubt return him
next fell, by two or tbrcc thousand major
ity.
STANTON.—There is great rejoicing all
over the country at the final closing of the
Court of Impeachment, the acquittal of the
President and the failure of Stanton to re
tain possession of the War Office. The
hero of the Andersonville murders will now
retire to private life, and may, possible,fall
a victim to remorse, as did Preston King,
and Jim Lane.
A Russian tutor recently killed the
whole family where he was engaged. He
beat out his pupils' brains, shot the father
and mother, and finished by killing the
cook, the footman and the housekeeper.
A NEW LIFE OF GNANT--Wasbburne has
given one Denning permis-ion to write a
lile of Grant. We hope it will prove more
satisfactory to his- political keepers than
that written by his father. Old Jesse
knew too much about Ulysses to be al
lowed to proceed with his biography and
so he had to be rudely cut short in his
literary labors.
General Grant dare not deny that lie
stated in Washington, during the early
days of impeachment, that unless Presi
dent Johnson was impeached, or words to
that effect, he would not and could not
rema" in Washington.
Query ; When will Grant begin to
keep his word.
RESULT OF THE WASHINGTON MU
NICIPAL ELECTION.

Drive Away the Whites.
EVIDENCES OF A DASTARDLY SWINDLE!
BALLOT-BOXES LEFT UNSEALED IN THE
HANDS OF THE RADICALS.
On Tuesday June 2nl, the following
dispatch appeared in all the daily news
papers :
Wasliingtan, D. C., June Ist, 18G8,—
At the rrninieipal election to-dav, Given,
Democrat , was elected over Bowen,
Radical, by about 500 majority —a gain
of 3,900 over last year, when the Radicals
and niggers carried the election.
But on Wednesday a contradictory dis
patch appeared—the Radicals having,
" between two days, " changed the result.
The special correspondent of the Age at
the niggerized Capitol makes the follow
ing expose of the way it was done :
The municipal election which was held
in this city yesterday, was one of the
most exciting contests ever witnessed in
the Federal metropolis, and when the re
turns from every precinct in each of the
seven wards reached the police headquar
ters last night it was officially announced
that Mr. Given, the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, was elected by one hundred and
thirty eight majority —the Democrats
carrying four out of seven wards, and se
curing a majority of the city Conncils on
joint ballot. This, result was telegraphed
all over the country last night hnd was
considered as well settled as anything can
be. It turns out to-Uay, however, that
the ballot-boxes, after ibe counting of the
votes, were left unsealed, and this morn
ing the Judges of the Election met at the
City Hall, where a recount of the votes
was made. The result of this recount of
ballots in unsealed ballot-boxes and in the
hands of Radical politicians, is that Mr.
Given is cheated out of bis election, and a
majority of seventy-four declared in favor
of the Radical competitor, Sayles J. Bow
en. This is considered one of the most
dastardly election swindles ever perpetra
ted in tiiis part.of the country, and has
given ri-e to the greatest indignation on
tii# part of tiie respectable citizens of
Washington. In addition to this a large
number of white voters were prevented
from depositing their ballois yesterday by
the niggers, who took possession of the
polls in some of the precincts and by the
connivance of a Radical police, held tin in,
throughout the day. lu spile of all tois,
however, the Democrats have secured the
City atindtilaud a Radical
majority of two thous.iud live huudied
last year.

An Expensive Law.
If the Radicals are not soon put out of
power, there will not he money enough in
the country to pay the expenses of our
State and National Governments. They
are constantly inventing new ways to
spend the people's money. The Registry
Law passed at the last session of our
Legislature turns out to be an expensive
thing, 'iho City Commissioners of Phil
adelphia have made application to the
Councils for an extra appropiation of
eighty-one thousand dollars to carry out
the law in that citv. *At this rate it will
take half a million dollars to execute it
throughout the State ! Thus while trade
in all its branches is languishing and
business men have hard work to keep
their heads above water, our Radical
Congress spends millions on the Freed
men's Bureau and our Radical State Leg
islature spends half a million to put in
execution an unnecessary and vexatious
Registry Law. Is it not time to have a
change ?— Exchange,
A scandalous copperhead story

Unabrigcd Dictionary, "'Frost's Original

the keyhole whether Chicago was Cht

• .Greenbacks For Bonds.
Tbe resolution offered by Gen. Carey
of Ohio, in the House of Representatives
at Washington, on Monday, was rather
startling to tbe privileged classes who
imagine that tbe peeple are willing to pay
them in gold what they purchased for
greenbacks, and that at a time when gold
was at a far higher premium than it is at
present. Cun. Carey was elected by the
workingmen of Ohio, and in offering this
resolution he has no doubt been influenced
by the wishes of his constituents.
Tbe heavy vote in favor of referring
the matter to the Committee ol Ways and
Means—74 to 27—was also startling to
the Radical aristocrats, and they will not
leave any means untried to have the bill
strangled in Committee. We are much
mistaken in our estimate of Gen. Carey f
however, if he permits th.s to be done
lie has worded his preamble precisely the
same as one of the resolutions adopted by
the Radical Convention at Chicago, and
we Lope he will persevere until he forces
the Radicals to define their true position
on the financial question.
The preamble and resolution are as
follows :
W heheas, The national honor reqirres
the payment of the public ind< btness to
creditors at borne and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but tbe spirit of
the law under which it was contracted,
therefore
Resolved , That ni itLer the letter nor
the spirit of tbe law under which tl.^s
were issued, requires payment of the prin
cipal in coin, and it will be in the uuno-t
good faith it bidders thereof be paid in tbe
same money which has been paid to the
soldiers who fought the battl sot the w-.i,
and with which the government settles the
claims ol the widows and orphans of our
fallen heroes—the same that laborers are
required to receive as wages, and that
which is a legal tender lor nil public and
private debts, except custom duties and in
terest on pudlic debt."
If the National II inking and Boudhold
ing monopolies imagine that the people
will submit to be ground into the dust for
their benefit, they are greatly mistaken.—
The national debt lias already been psid
twice over again. If the national drones
are aot willing to eat the same honey as
the national workers, they may perhaps
be stung out of the national hive. If the
people, in their poverty and dispair, repu
diate the national debt entirely, tiieir ra ii.
cal rulers, who fotced them to pay gold
for greenbacks, will be to blame for the
result, as they are to blame for the pres
.nt sad condition of our once prosperous
and happy country I —Reading E<yle.
Jt'ST LIKE THEM.—The General Con
ference of the nigger branch of toe Me
thodist Church Noith, which has been in
session at Washington for some time past
took a hand at impeachment on Friday
last. The day previous the Conference
passed a resolution to the iffect that the
members should assemble at 10 o'clock
on Friday, and offVr up an united prayer
for the conviction i.n 1 impeachment of
the President. Friday carne. and the
black prayers were bellowed heavenward
with Am. n ! succeeding Atnen ! but from
the results of Saturday we are led to be
lieve that neither t.ie Almighty nor the
Rump Senate, gave those prayers the.
slightest attention. The White Branch in
session at the same time at Chicago, play
ed the clown in a similar way on Saturday,
and with like results. Their prayers, like
tbe great conspiracy, proved a failure.
What We May Expect. — The Iler
uld is showing what the country has to
expect in the event of the election of
Grant and Colfax:
'• Military despotism, supported by an
immense taxation and ruling at the will
of an oligarchy of arrogant politicians in
Congress, is what the Republicans have
labored tor ir. the past. Within this sim
ple and comprehensive programme !>e all
their principles, all their political ideas ;
and for this programme they will labor
more energetically aed with more resolute
persistency in the future. They will ex
tend the sphere of its operation also.—
Grant acc. pts their programme fully, un
reservedly, slavishly, and deliberately
promises beforehand that lie will oppose
no obstruction to it, that no " policy " of
his stands in the way of the pnarranged
policy of the men who pull the w ires of
his political existence. If such a party
succeeds in electing sucli a President, the
country can judge what must he the re
sult. What is the conduct of the impeach
ment Managers in their' present investi
gation hut a foretaste of what would fol
low with such men in power ? Here we
have all the personal rights of the citizen
invaded at once. Without any process of
law whatever, a man is deprived of his
liberty and thrust into a cell at the mere
bidding of a political bully. The secrecy
of the telegraph anil post office is violated
as no man would dare to violate it in des
potic France. Men who do such a thing
merely because thev have the power, will
know no limit but that of their power in
enforcing their will."
