# Hurrah for the Negro.
Wbile ex-Governor Morton, of Indi
ana, was addressing a Republican meet
ing at Concert llall, on Thursday ev< u
ing last, some enthusiastic Radical crt d
out ; "/ want to see if this meeting is pre
pared to give three for those twenty-jour
colorei members excluded from the Georgia
Legislature.'" The cheers were given, of
course. But what are the facts ? The twen
ty-four negroes alluded to, were elected to
the Georgia Legislature in violation of the
Constitution of that State, framed under
the auspices and passed by the vote.- of
the Radical party there. As they w-re
not legally eligible to seats in that Legis
lature, they were, very properly, not al
lowed to occupy them, and if anybody is
to blame for their exclusion, it is ihe Radi
cals in Georgia themselves. And now let
us ask whether the Radicals, who are so
very jealous of the political rights of the
negroes in the South, care at all about the
same rights of the white men in the
North ? Whin a Radical House of Rep
resentatives excluded the delegates of
Kentucky and other States from seats in
Congress, to which they had been duly
elected by Democratic majorities, and
when a Radical majority in the Federal
Senate turned a Senator of New Jersey,
Mr. Stockton, out of his seat, in order to
create a vacancy for his Radical successor,
Mr. AlexanderCattell, did any Republi
can protest I Not at all. To disfranchise
white Democrats and Democratic State.*
is all right in Radical eyes. But to keep
negroes out of Legislatures to which they
are not lawfully eligible, is, in the judg
ment of the same men, the highest politi
cal crime!!— l'hila. Sunday Mercury.
fef" To all the Radical agencies for
carrying the Presidential election, the
army with its candidate at its head, the
Freedmen's Bureau, the swarms of gan
gers and excisemen, they have added nig
ger insurrections. Georgia is reconstruc
ted. The Radicals arc in a minority in
the legislature, and there is no way of
preventing her people from voting f r
Seymour and Blair, than by letting slip
the sleuth-hounds of civil war. This ac
counts for the movement inaugurated ai
Camilla the other day. Though for
tunately suppressed, these disturbance
are liable to break out at any moment. —
They will afford a fine pretext for Grant
to send reinforcements of regular troops
into the State, declare it tinder martial
law, and prevent an election. What it
the State should be wrapped in the
flames of a nigger war, with all its horri
ble concomitants, from the Atlantic to th

Farmers and Mechanics of Wyoming Co.
You have often, heretofore, without re
spect to party declared your honest senti- j
ments, founded upon voi.r cool and unbi
ased judgements that :
"Our laws were an enigma, because they
"were devised bv cunning lawyers; that
"too few of the plain, practical everyday
"business men and farmers found their
"way into the Legislature; that the laws
"were too much mystified and obscured
"bv law ver phrases; that these often
"serve a> snares for the plain citizen;
"that uuptincipled lawyers always make
j"a haul when mm fall, into the traps set
! "by these cunningly devised laws."
Ihese and similar declaitions have been
made by most of you, at some time of
your lives. They were your honest opin
ions founded on experience —experience,
j often, dearly purchased by you. They
i were made not in the heat of a political
| contest —not when passion ruled hut when
I sound and unbiased reason controlled
your minds.
I We 1 iave no prejudice against the iegtl
| profession, nor its professors, (having at
one time, dabbled a little in the pool—but
| not deeply enough to spoil us for a print
i er) We judge of men's fitness for otlicial
positions by the Jiflersonian, Democratic
rule; "Is he honest ?" "Is lie capable ?"
Y\ bile our opinion of lawyers inav some
-1 times be better than they deserve, we are
free to admit that the criticisms of our
fanner friends are often too just, too true
And we are glad that they now have an
opportunity to manife>t their faith in them,
by their works, or, by rather, their votes.
On the one side, is presented, on the
'Democratic Ticket, for Congressman,
State Senator and Representative*. PIOL
LET, LILL. LINGS, GEOKUK OI'STEKHOL'T, C.
C. MILLS —ALL FARMERS all honest,
plain practical and capable men—Men who
j sympathize with you, and know your
i wants. Men, w ho. if elected, will enact

\ spend their time in devising ways to filch
, from you under the forms of law, your hard
earned money. Men who ere solemnly
! pledged to retrenchment and reform, and
who will themselves practice what they
| preach.
ON THE OTHER SIDE —the radical tickets
: both for the National and State Legisla
tures, are headed by TWO SCHEMING, WILY,
WIRE-WORKING L AWYT.It POLITICIAN'S,
than whom none can more oa-ily make
white appear black, or black appear white
1 —though they both incline strongly to the
sambo side—and who can convert two and
sixpence into five shilling!, a little quicker

Laboring men ! Farinets and mechanics
of Wyoming County, on which side will
you cast your votes? ANSWER AT
THE POLLS ON TUESDAY NEXT.
One of the Bat Breed.
One Dr. Pdakeslee, a shinning light "in
I the Lodge" a? Nicholson, in this County,
it seems from a communication published
|in the Scrunton Republican, a few weeks
sine-', took a trip to Galena to assure him
self and his fellows as to the habits of the
man who made that profound arid claboiate
speech, "Let us have peace"
' The Dr. on his return, published to the
world with a great particularity a
I dialogue between himself a Galena land—
j lord, which ran as follows: (we quote from
memory,)
Dr. 13. (at) Do you know Gen. Grant ?
Landlord —"Yes—intimately."
Dr. 13. (at) "Is lie a drinking man ?"
I L. —"I have never known hiin to take a
I drop of liquor in iny life,"
Dr. 13. (at) "Do you intend to vote for
I him V
L.—No, I'm a Democrat."
This according to the Dr. puts an end to
j the much mooted question as to Grant's
habits —makes him just the candidate for
temperance men; and stamps all these ma
| licious stories put afloat by Tilfon, Cady
[ Stanton and Wendell Phillips as false—
; worse than Ku Klux, copperhead lies.
As Wendell Phillips, the great mogul of
i niggerism, "temperance morality and de
j cency"— the man who leads the radical
I party on to its triumphs, had been silent on
: this subject for some time, we concluded
that he must have seen the Dr's. convin
cing. knock down article, and acquiesced
lin its solid reasoning. It seems we were
mistaken in this supposition,
j In Phillip's organ—the Anti Slavery
: Standard of Sept 24 th and republished in
the Daily World of same date. Mr.
! Phillips after declaring that he will vote
i for Grant; (which of course everybody e.x
pectsj over his own signature says;
I " have little confidence in Grant.* * *Ue teas
< drunk in the public streets since the Ist day of January.
i This is a fact as patent as the sun at noonday ; none
; but those too dishonest to be trusted irith public jour
nals (bats passing themselves off for otrls) deny it."
According to Dr. Phillips, Dr. Blakes
lee is "a bat passing himself off" for anoth
er sort of bird.
Those best acquainted with the wisc'Dr ,
at Nicholson, will not take issue with the
great leader of radicalism on his classffiea
tion, in this case.

Certain Units to which 1 wish to call the
attention of a certain class. 'I here is i'i

and religion, ihey support parties that
embody these principles and candidates
that are graced with these virtues. If the
eyes-of these pious gentleman should tall

(Republican paper.)
The above I deem sufficient for any can
did enquirer sifter tnit.'i in thin matter. —
It will be seen that the charges of incom
petency and immorality against General
Grant, are made by bis warmest and most
aide political friends. The proofs to sub
stanoiate the justice of the above charges
are so abundant and public, that any candid,
intelligent person who is familiar with
current events, will not hesitate to admit
their truth. While on the other hand the
noble, dignified and Christain virtues that
adorn the character of Gov. Seymour have
prevented las most implacable enemies
from utteiing a word against his private
life; hnt when referred to, has uniformly
received that meed of praise wiach virtue
always commands even at their hands.—
We have no enmity toward Grant as an
individual. We deplore his failings and
rejoice in his virtues. As an American,
it would excite our national pride to be
hold in hira the elements of heroic great
ness and goodness of morality and virtue,
but as patiiots we love our country and
Iter benign institutions above parties or
individuals; therefore we are anxious, as
momentus questions effecting the organic
law of the land are involved in the issues
of the canva9- that truth of men and par
lies, striped ot the foliage of error may be
presented to the people, who will soon be
called upon to discharge tbeir duties as
sovereigns of a great country in this im
portant particular. Then iet the cobwebs
of falsehood be brushed from the lace of
truth. Let corruption in high pb.et she
exposed. Let the principles of parties
stand in fair contrast, viewed in the light
of the Constitution and then I t an i itelli
gent people judge winch will lies! promote
the interests of the country, maintain the
securitv of Xhe Union and perpetuate
the blessings of liberty to the present ana
rising generations.
This communication has already run to
an unexpected length, but we cannot close
without answeiiug a few questions that our
friends of pious proclivities are constantly
asking us.
Is Gov. Seymour loyal? We will dis
cuss this question by {living one from a
number, to the same iffect, of the dis
patches to Seymour from Lincoln and the
Sec'y of War.

We will pass the above without com
ment, except to say that in view of the
amount of testimony similar to the above
from both Lincoln and Lis Sec'y of War,
confirming the "loyalty" and effective "sup
port of Gov. Seymour, which rescued the
nation in its hour of the greate>t peril, If
there are those who do not believe the
charges of "disloyalty" against him lobe
false then it were useless to reason with
them.
Does the Democratic party of which
Gov. Seyrriour is a member, favor the re
establishment of Slavery ? In reply to
this question we quote from the National
Democratic platform, adapted at New Yotk
City, July 4th, last: "The Democratic par
ty in National Convention assembled *

very and secession as having been settled
for all time to come by the war or volun

General Grant, although he lots no confi
