At Their Old Tricks Again
When Buchanan in 1857-58 undertook
to change the principles of the Democratic
party and commit them to the eupp:rt of
slavery', bribery, corruption and public pat
ronage were resorted to,and he found but lit
tle opposition among tho leaders, office
holders and office-hunters of the old organ
illation, and was enabled to increase the
aumbormaterially in the Middle and South
ern States from the dissatisfied money and
power-loving adherents of tho old Whig
party; and when a paper refused to sup-
Jon WM it was bought out and placed in
the' hands of a renegade who, without
either character or talents, was ready and
willing to ampt of a bribe, and, if nerd
.bit v publish hislown.ehame and disgrace in
the columns of the paper superintended but
not onirolled by him.
Having secured the leaders with the
tarty organisation, it was still a trait he
.was not capable of performing—to Demi
pate his own successor and elect him; but
be induced a large portion of his followers
to yule for u• man that he must ha- e known
was at the very time plotting treason against
the Constitution. Dexocratio leaders and
papers are a purchasable commodity and
not very high in price to start with, but
exceedingly expensive to keep.
After the results of the experiment of
Buchanan & Co., ono would naturally sup
pose that a sufficient length of time would
be allowed to elapse to permit their evil
deeds, to be , partially forgotten at least be
fore another attempt of the arme kind
would be made; but, judging from our ex
' thatiges, the same men who ruined the old
Democratic party are again at the same kind
of trick.: Why, is not so easy to explain,
'unless it is !or want of capacity to invent
'another and better one.
The Johnson club in loran the President.
We do.not complain of that. Then all the
little whiffets of the Democratic party take
op the endorsement and at the same time
continue the same whining snarl against
every man who has been appointed by the
President who favors the eleotioa of Gen.
Geary as Governor of Pennsylvania. Can
- not a man approve of the acts of President
Johnson, or at least ot tho majority of
them, for instance, his speeches in favor of
emancipation,'punishment of assassins, his
conduct of the Freedmen's Bureau, his cir
cular in favor of the appointment of ,sol
diers to office and many other things he has
done, and still advo.:ate the election of Gen.
Gamy. Surely, Clymer nor his platform
are not the , choice of the President ; and
if Geary is not then no candidate new be-
Jere the people is. And we have a right
to ohoose between the two without render
ling any offence to the Prosident—partiou

RIOT IN Minims, tz ot,—Thero was a

ind . ' blanks, commencing on tho Ist inst.
and continuing until the 3d, and in which
i tiwenty-five'or thirty negroes were killed,

direllinge burned. It is said to live.origi
wated on account of a quarrel between a
col-red and a white eartman. But it is
:DiTIOUII that this was merely the occasion
`:sad not the cause of the trouble. Does a
Street fight ia Allentown, or Reading, or
'Philadelphia, whatever the color of the
somtuttaote, sprawl through an entire cota
, suuttityi and lead to a score of troubles, nod
the burning of dwelling houses, school
houses and churches ? Tho truth of the
IDStter is too obvious for question. The
sinie 'spirit that led the Southern people
into insurrection and rebellion, the hatred
of an oppressed lace, and rage at seeing
them in the partial enjayment of theiraights
have long been rankling in the hearts ot
_ the majority of the population of Memphis.
- The Indulgence of the government towards
traitors , of every degree seems to have kit,-
dled thesis instincts into deeper intensity.
Surely, we need no further evidence to
convince us of the real animus of this no
_ .tottunste,riet than the fact that every schwa.

ot the blinks were burned to the ground.

Democracy and Rebel Officers.
It will be remembered that James Bu
chanan went to Harrisburg and bal d a levee
shortly aftei"':,tite nomination of',Hiester
Cllymer for Governor.. From whatlbas
transpired it appear. that the proprtoty; ol
procuring the eervieee of is many promi
nent rebel Generals as possible to take the
stump, was ono rf the plans proposed and
accepted. The old public funotionary had
his circulars prepared' and sent out; but
few responses have as yet been receis , rt—
One which has appeared in the papers is
cry severe up( n the lip service and empty
left EBiooll of the craven-hearted brawler,
(Clymer) and tells theold man, in plain
terms, that if the Democracy of Penns, I
vania had possessed the courage of the
sew York rioters in 1863, when they met
tt Harrisburg in that year in the face of
Jee's army, the South Might have succeed
d in compoLing the government at Wa.h7
ngton. to sue for peace, and enabled them
o make J. fferson Davie President, ants
eeenando Wood Vice President. But now
t is too late ; all is lost, including con&
demi° in men who have violated theiroaths
and fixed the stamp of porjuiy upon their
soils.
There can be no doubt that the plan of
the Duchanan-Breckinridge Democracy was
to get up aid and assist the people of the
South in overturning the Constitution and
oeolaring in favor of a dictator, and finally
ending in a monarchy, with titles of nobil
ity founded on wealth and political services
rendered, which required the sacrifice of
honor, character and trust. Ilene° their
resolutions at every township and county
meeting, State and National convention, in
opposition to the measures adopted to com-.
pel the people of the Southern States to
obey the laws; and their vile ca'umny and
vituperation of every man engaged in the
service of his country in subduing rebels.
They aro consistent in only one thing,
that is, in the candidates fbr office.
1860 they ran a traitor for President, and
over since that time they have solectcd as
their candidates men who were in full sym
pathy and accord with traitors for every of
fice, groat or small, Clymer has never said
one word against the men who wore engaged
in the rebellion, but always spoke and acted
as their friend and a'ly. Not a ward of en
couragement ever fell from his lips in favor
of Union soldiers and officers, but invaria
bly abuse and mum.
If Pennsylvania had followed Mr. Cly
mer's load; if she bad adopted the line of
policy he mapped out and pertinaciously
ri commended ; not only wculd her territory
been overrun, her fieldsolaid waste, her
towns given to the names, and her railroads
torn up, but the government would have
been so pale pied that theplion would have
been lost. It absolutely monstrous to
talk of electing such a man to the Chief
Magistracy of the State. There ought to
be such a sentiment among the masses of
the people as would make his aspirations
hopeless, as would consign hint to private
walks for the remainder of his days. Tha
there is such a• sentiment among Repubh
inns we feel and know. The people have
to choose between a gallant soldier, who
freely perilled everything for the cause,
and a politician who did all he could to
serve the rebel leaders.
The Danger of Speedy Restoration
Our population is perhaps 80,000,000;
of this population about 5,000,000 are dis
loyal. This disloyal poiulation, when u'-
ly restored to the Union, the Constitution
and the laws remaining unamended, will
hold more than one-third of its representa
tive power, and the supreme ecntrol of at
least thirteen States. These disloyal States
will be interested to use that power for the
division of the Union ; and, failing in that
for the rep'idiation of the military and II
uncial obligations of the country.
Now, what is to he done I Ir these
states are denied representation, it violates
the fundamental principle of republican
government. If allowel a double and bee.
tile representation, the Union itself must bo
destroyed or preserved at the expense of
another war.
The President insists that the rebellious
States be admitted immediately with a dou.
blo representation and without guarantees ;
that all the barriers which his predecessor
and Congress have hereto:ore erected to pro
tect the country and the loyal people, shall
be thrown aside, and endeavored to force
views upon Congress and the peoplo,wheth
er they approve of them or not.
Congress has said "lot us stop to consid
er, and endeavor to find a remedy." Three
remedies wore proposed : 1. Disfranchise
some portion of the rebels ; 2. Allow all
he rebels to vote, but neutralize their dis
union sentiments by enfranchising the
blacks in those States; 3. Equaliz3 repre
entation by taking as its basis either the
number of voters, or the population minus
the disfranchised classes; so that these
States shall have no more representation in
proportion to their represented people than
the old free States have.
After a fu'l and free discussion, Congress
has oonoluded to recommend the first I.nd
thi•d propositions as an amendment to the
Constitution. The first proposition was in
corpo:ated at the carin.at solicitation of the
Union Men of Maryland, West Virginia,
Missouri, Tennessee, et.t. : and is in Jut al
ready a law in those States.
Now, then if the rebel States are noxious
to be represented in Congress, they have
only to subscribe to these colditioos. We
Ann afford to be magnanimous, but wo must
also be just to ourselves ; and in proposing
, his simple and equitable solution of thi
question, Congress has faithfully reflected
be sentiments of the people.

One of Mr. Johnson's Appointees.
Frank. 11• Blair was recently appointed
collector for the St. Louis district, ta.place
of a German of superior talents ind'eduoa
den, who was remo7ed because ho was a
ifradical." - Mr.-131air's new found friends
held a grand reunion a few week since, and
although he could not be present, ho tot
warded a letter on the political situation,
in which ha says :
"What civilized nation on earth would
hesitate an instant, it the opportunity cffer
ed, to incorporate with themselves the brave
'end heroic people of the South 7 W.n
France or England or any other power,hes
time to give such men the full and eqiial
rights according to all other citizens ?
Would they tail to honor and cherish as a
part of their own glory the 3101130' y of the
illustrious throng of the dead, led by Stone
wall Jaeksm 7 Would not those nations be
most happy to claim as their own euoh men
as Leo and Johnson and a host of others,
and to confer upon these living heroes the
'rewards which genius and courage have al
ways commanded ?"
Are we to understand this us part of
President Johnson's "restoration policy Pv .
for ho no doubt knew his man when he ap
pointed him. It these "living heroes" aro
to be "rewarded, 4 then it follows, as a ma - -
ter of course, that our living heroes, the
"boys in blue," aro to be correspondingly
disparaged. After these rebel heroes arc
"rewarded" with pensions, etc., it would
only bo a step turther to advocate the re
pudiation of the national debt and the as
sumption of the rebel debt ; for it follows,
as a natural consequence, that it these "liv
ing haves" arc to bo "rewarded" for mak
ing war upon the Government, it also 11.1-

undertaking should be paid Another

CONFESSION!
Anton Probst, the murderer ot the Deer
ing family, confessed to his spiritual advi
ser that ho had no accomplice in the late
bloody tragedy, but that he committed the
eight murders himself.
lie says he murdered the toy Carey first,
and then , enticed all the others, one at a
time, to the barn and murdered them by
hitting them on their heads with an axe
and cutting their throats. Miss Dolan was
the last. She came to the barn in search
of the family, when she shared their terri
ble fate.
Probst says ho found very little money,
but ho expected a considerable amount.—
He says he attempted to kill the boy three
Limes, but his heart failed him; but when
he finally . killed him the sight of the blood,
ho says, produced in him a devilish feeling
and he resolved to murder the whole fam
ily. His confession relieves the question
of all its doubt, but throws no new light
upon the horrible details already published.
On Wednesday morning the Sheriff re
ceived the death warrant from Harrisburg,
r.nd read it to the prisoner, informing him
that the time fixed fur his execution is
Friday, the Bth of Juoo, between the hours
of 10 A. M. and 3P. M. lhe culprit re

THE POINT.—The issue, alter all, in this
state is so simple that no honest Union
man eon mistake ii.
Is there ono Union man who is willing,
considering the recent record of the cop
perhead party, to trust them with the goy.
ernment ? It is not a question in this elec
tion, what measures shall the Union party
pursue, but shall there be any Union party,
and shall it rule, or shall it surrender to
those who have fought the Government of
the United 'States for five years ?
During the war, wo constantly differed
on measures,but stoutly stood by the Union.
We have yet to see ono ream advanced
why the copperheads nro fit to have power.
TUE STATE OAMPAIGN.—In a few weeks

then , ' minor U. S effioitvis in ho county, are in as
ord with the Pr.'s' hint ? We understand that thus
are against him and doing all they can to destroy
tl.m If this be so. we trust their heads will be
lopped off at a short notice, and that glad Johnson

Dem:orats when we sly that
,no Democrat want ,
under Johnson, but what we du want is white
mon in office who will honesty and sincerely accore
with the President. Will the gentleoun armed
rake notice that "an earthquake is coming," or
must they be hustled out.
MESSRS EDITORS: The above is from last
week's Allentown Democrat. Did impudence
and assurance over equal this? When out
country's destiny was vibrating—aye, when
the keenest vision foiled to see how thin glo
!was fabric, reared by Christian sages in be
half of humanity, could withstand the sheek ;
when every knee that will bend in solitude
was , bowed to implore Ilim who alone decider
with justice; when every noble spirit in the
land laid aside all—Leone, friends, party pre
judices—and rushed to the strife fur the pur
pose of preserving those eternal principles of
Right which were transmitted to us all by our
fathers; when nearly every household was a
place of mourning for the lost loved ones—l
say when all these things took place, hut a
few years ago, where was the Democratic
party 7 Catalina had hie adherents • so had
Nero, and so had every scoundrel that ever
yet disgraced humanity. How could the slave
holders rebellit n fail to haye them ? Every
one calling himself a Democrat sympathized,
aided and abetted it. A defeat of our bravo
army, so long as led by traitors, was to them
an occasion of joy and mirth ; but when suc
cess crowned the bravery of our noble officers
and soldiers ; when It became evident that the
accursed rebellion must fall, they went into
their holes,'and it' they did slimy themselves,
they looked like whipped spaniels, and ho.
frayed evident signs that they comprehended
their degredation. If they knew now, they
certainly would have prayed that our brave
soldiers might all be killed ; but they neither
knew how to pray, nor was there a God—even
in the follies of heathen mythology—who
could have an attribute to favor such a cause
as this.
And it is such who talk and advise about
the removal of " disloyal" men front office !
So far as I know, every one of these offwere
stood firm, when firmness was of some account
When those who would advise their removal
would have prayed, if they could, for the de
struction of tho country, these men, now tt
ho ousted; had Ifni: whole soul in the contest
lam not their apologist. If I knew but a
single, solitary Democrat that sided with hie
country in its peril, I would be pleased to see
him bait° his re sant ; but I know none.
Therefore, if these officers do their duty, I
am for having them retained. If they do not,
I would advise them discharged and others
put in their places. But nu circumstance
could make me sanction the appointment of
my ono to any office, who forsook his coun
try in her hnnr of need. These craven things
it is impossible to class them as men. Ages
siz could not do it (though by their peculiar
fins he has placed every fish in his proper
class,) hove, for the sake of an office and Enqn
ey, for the past thirty yours, licked the spittle
of the South, without producing nausea. and
are ready to commence their noble occupation
again. Their " sudren bredren" judged ths
great North by them, and reckoned on uni
vernal cowardice and spittle•eaters —but alas!
When the real spirit of our people was arous
ed ; when that spirit compelled the Deviocrat
to hush, (and did'nt, it hush!) and bore down
all' before it then it would not hay been sale
to advise the removal from office of men true.
to make room for those false. 1 hat • spirit is
alive yet, and it will crush all in its path.—
That spirit echoes the noble words of John
eon, " Treason must be made odious ; traitors
must be punished." The President may fail
no perlorm his duty, hut the people will not.
If Mr. Johnson had kept his word wherry
would his present advisers and supporters be 7
