Ignorance and Malice.
Thero is a man in the Legislature from
Tioga county, named Williston, who makes
great pretentions to ability, legal knowl
edge &c. ; and loses no opportunity to
abuse the Judges of tho Supremo Court
fof deciding to bo law, what in his wisdom
Is uot law. To illustrate. A few days
ago Mr. Williston was, as usual, making
speech. A bill was up to erect tho
""Point Bridge,'' at Pittsburg j in this
ppeceh he asserts his contempt for tho
opinion of tho Court in tho celebrated
Wheeling Bridge case. It is evident Mr.
Williston never read that case, and he
displays his ignoranco and malico by tho
following remark :
" Now, it is something I never knew
before that tho chimneys of steam boats
were so constructed as to admit of lowering
and rising at the hands of those having
chargo ot tho boat. '
Now wo aro well satisfied that Mr. "Will
iifton not only never read the Wheeling
Bridge case, but that he never even saw a
.steam boat ; for it is not possible he could
havo been so ignorant, if either of those
accidents had happened to him. And to
e, ,
gravely and contemptuously denying the
li'gal conclusions of tho Supremo Court of
tho United States, would bo supremely ri
diculous, were it not so sad.
Bat it is in this way and by such law
yetlings, that the decisions of that learned
and august body havo been abused, de
nounced, misinterpreted. It i3 by men
who havo not even read, much less digested
and comprehended tho facti and reasons
who takos thoHead in this raid. To them
bo the honor and the credit.
REMINISCENCES OF THE CONVENTION.
Tho man who can, with equal temper,
bear the extremes of fortune, may in tho
end, command his place. It Is not easy to
face a defeat, nor in tho first moment to
check the bitter risings of a disappointment
lie. who does not feel ffiem ii less or more
thaw man ; he who ean control them is
greatly to be envied.
At the late Democratic Convention, after
tho nomination of Qcn. Foster, a call was
mado for tho gentlemen who had been can
dfcTatcsfor tho nomitation. Moat prompt
ly responded. They made cxccllent.warm
hearted, magnanimom speeches acqui
esced cheerfully in tho action of tho Con
vention eulogized the character, abilities
and qualifications of Gen. Foster, and
promised a cordial and earnest support.
But no man, in our judgment, on that
occasion, acquitted himself witli moro cred
it, in all respects, than Geo. Sanderson
of Lancaster. lie made a most capital
tpeceh, in excellent temper and great good
taste. His fricrwls have just cause to bo
proud of him, and tho good old county of
Lancaster, if truo to him, will yet, at no
distant day, be ablo to chronicle his suc
cess.
SST Gov. Wm. H. Bissell, of Illinois,

was admitted to praetiee, and removed to
Belleville, St. Clair County. Thero the

I go ahead of the distinguished and elo

to say a lew words to show you that 1 am
for Andy Curtin all the time, loud cheers
most zealously, most earnestly. And why

I am not ready to uphold.

8Thorois important news from Mexi
eo. Tho Mexican War-Steamer General
Miramon, has arrived at New Orleans, as
a prize to the United States, under com
mand of Lieutenant Micor, who left Vera
Cruz on the 13th instant. No particulars
as to the seizure havo yet been received.
Vera Cruz was besieged by' Miramon on
tho 5th. He notified tho representatives
of tho foreign Governments that ho should
shell and cannonado tho city. On tho
night of tho 9th tho attack was made, in
full force, but Miraman was repulsed by
tho Liberals. Tho sloop-of-war Preble
was to sail from New Orleans on tho Mth.

hibited commerce by transit between
Aneona and Romagna. Tho merchants
protest against it. Tho agitation continues
in the Marches. Tho landed proprietors
refuse to pay taxes. Thousands of citizens
are signing addresses to tho great Powers
in favor of annexation. Soldiers enlisted
in Austria continuo to arrive in tho States
of tho Church and at Naples.

Our readers aro well aware that in eomc

reigns supremo, negroes etijoy rights and

is not. and to assert it as tho Times docs,
is simply begging the whole question. Is
ITTROVED Oil RENDERED rnORAHLE THAT
the Africans cannot live in this
country on an equality with whites?
WE SAY IT IS NOT, and that no man
who assorts it has ever yet demonstrated
tho truth of his assertion by auy conclusive
reasoning.
" It is not at all pertinent to instance the
condition of the black man as a condition
to permit tho testing of tho question. Be
cause Wisconsin is mean and narrow
MINDED ENOUOII TO REFUSE TO ALLOW
A NEOUO, HOWEVER INTELIOE.NT,TO VOTE,
it by no means proves that tho negro does
not deserve tho privilege, nor, because
Wisconsin at tho same time, permits A
RAW IRISHMAN AND AN IGNOR
ANT DUTCHMAN to vote, when he
neither knows his own polities nor that of
his candidate, does it prove that Wiscon
sin is either just or vise in making this ar
bitrary discrimination! Let us bo just
and sensible, as well as critical and patri
otic, Mr. Doolittlo. Tho only fnir test of
the capacity and disposition of the black
man to dwell, SIDE BY SIDE, ON
TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH THE
WHITE, is to take him where ho docs
enjoy that equality. Unfortunately thcio
is no place whore this is tho case to tho
full extent, for prcjudieo docs much, oven
in the most favored localities, to oppress
tnc colored man.
" But supposo we take ttio frc'o colored
men of Massachusetts, where' thoy are ro
spected and treated as citizens, and what
is the result I Why, we venture the as
sertion, without fear of successful contra
diction, THAT YOU MAY TAKE THE TIVE
THOUSAND NEOROES AS THEY COME, AND
A THOUSAND IllISHMAEN IN THE SAME
WAY, AND YOU WILL FIND THE NEOROES
SURPASS THE IRISHMEN OF BOSTON IN
INTELLIGENCE, MORALITY AND INDUSTRY,
AND OOOD CITIZENSHIP, THEY ARE MORE
THRIFTY, MODE ORDERLY, AND EVERY
way superior ; it is the tamo in the city
of Philadelphia, as facts will abundantly
prove. Now what right havo wo to say,
with such a preliminary lesson, that the
black man could not prove himself worthy
of freedom and citizenship !"
It will bo observed that this Black Re
publican organ speaks of tho State of Wis
consin 03 "MEAN AND NARROW MINDED,"
because sho refuses negroes the right to
vote. Reasoning from the same premises,
minded, becauso like Wi-cou-in, she denies
tho negro the right of suffrage.
Will decent whito people, says the Bed
ford Gazette, boar this Black Republican
insult unrc-sented ! We ask the question

Let the ballot box repty.
On tho appearance of tho articlo above
quoted, tho Cincinnati Enquirer, a Demo
cratio papcrtook occasion to mako somo
strictures upon tho positions taken therein,
whereupon tho Black Republican Atlas
replied : j
"Ifvouwill como hero wc will show ,
iyou any day, our coloied Jtttow citizen
riding in tlie curs on tie same seal wim
the aristocrat of Beacon streit and Chelter
Square, and neither tho negro or tho whito
man appears in tho least disturbed or
harmed by tha proximity. And as for
political franchises, wc will just inform our
friend that, in Aaisaciusetls, a black
man's vote is just us good and counts just
as much as Mr. Winllirop's or Everett's,
and that there arc now no political disa
bilities imposed upon any man on account
of tho color of his skin."
Such aro the practical results of Black
Republicanism, boasted of and heralded
forth by an accredited loading Black Re
publican organ. And these results are at
tributed to the fad that the Black llcpub
lican party ivanis negro votes for its candi
dates, as tliey Hcount as much as Mr.
Winlhrop'sor Edward Everett's." The
truo aim of Black Republicanism is tho

Tho opposition editors seem to be some-
what "exercised" in their minds just now
touching the future policy of the Democrat-
ic party. Thoy affect to see n great diff-
orenco of omhiou n tho Domocratio ranks
i . ..i(fr, ml ..in
ft...,.! i 11 .i:rrL., in t .
more formidable .difference ,n egard to
men. 'llicso dillercnccs, thoy ten us, aro ,
every hour growing wider j anu tuoy aro
puzzled to know in what sort of a "disrup
tion" they will end.
In our lifetimes wo havo moro than onco
found this opposition party in its present
dilemma. It has been very sure that tho
Democratic party was in a very sad con
dition ; that it was hopelessly divided ;
that it couldn't agrco in regard to measures,
and didn't want to agree in regard to men ;
that it was completely disorganized, and
irretrievably ruined. But there was al
ways this failure to preceivo in precisely
.... . i.
. "
what direction tho biggest pieces oi wo,""-i"-y -
nartv aro coin to tumble.
" . .
Now wo liko to render our enemies a
service when wo can, and Wo think wo can
render them ono just at this moment. Wo
can best do so by narrowing down tho
points of differcncQ. which thoy see or think
thoy sec in tho Domocratio ranks. Them
selves always divided on all or nearly all
matters upon which they should agrco, they
are apt to imagine that ouv differences aro
equally numerous and important ; that if
wo disagree on a iinglo point, wo have left
no stronger bond of fellowship, and must
tumble apart at the first assault of the
enemy.
This wc might very easily demonstrate,
is a sad mistake a mistake which has
frequently led to sad consequences no
less sad than the blasting, in a single hour,
of tho highest of the opposition hopes. It
is no uncommon thing for tho Democratic
parly, prior to holding its national con
vention, to differ in regard to men; but
these differences aro always disposed of,
and satisfactorily disposed of, at tho prop
er time, by their representatives. They
sometimes differ in regard to measures!
but a free interchange of opinion always
works a euro for this evil, if indeed it can
bo called one. Tho secret of this is, that
there is a bond of union botween all the
members of the Democratic organization.
They may sometimes differ in regard to
one or two matters, but they aro always
united, we might say indissolubly united,
in regard to many others. They stand
firmly togethiir,in storm as well as in sun.
shino, on the great principles which un
derlie all Democratic republics ; they know
what Democracy means, and love it for its
intrinsic worth ; they are united in a com
mon bond of patriotism so that when their
i. .-, lm.ti.ura, run a i.ir i , tueir
hearts run together. Thoy have not been
drilled to hato each other, or to reeognizo
scitional linos. If the leaders should de
cree sepuratiou to-day, tho masses would
come together to-morrow, and in threo
days tho lino of separation would bo trod
den out. Would it not be well for our en
emies, in casting about for signs of tho fu
ture, to take this into consideration!
A few things the opposite editors may
as well, wo think, take for granted. In
tho fiit place, wo shall not chango our
name. Small or large, or party will bo
known as tho Democratic party. It will
wear this namo in Rhode Island, and it
will reeognizo no other in Texas. It is
charged with all sorts of corruption and
mismanagement by its enemies, but it has
j never yet found it necessary to change its
namo, or attempt to hide itself from public
gaze. Certainly it will not steal any of
tho names of its opponents. It will not
claim to bo a Federel party, or a Nation
al Republican party, or an Anti-War par
ty, or a Whig party, or a Bank party, or
a Tariff party, or an Internal Improve
ment party, or a Frccsoil party, or a Lib-!
jsiacK iieputjucan party, it win aear

sition." It will hoist the old Democratic i
banner, and will respond to tho Demo
cratic roll-call.
Another thing : it will preserve in its
platform all its ancient landmarks. It will
not deny its faith. It will not resolve that
it has mado a mistake in asserting this or
that principle, or adopting this or that
policy. It never travels backward
will not try to steal Republican or Ameri-
can thunder by endorsing tho old mea-
surc3 of cither of thoso parties. If tho
leadcrs of theso organizations think thoy
i L ii i 1 1 :., i.:
have got something very valuable in t ie r
platforms, they may rest assured that it is
in uodangcr of molestation. They needn't
cmploy a watch dog to keep guard over
it. Tho Democratic tub will stand upon
its own bottom.
In regard to our norainco for President,
it is safo to say that ho will be a man of
the party, aud not outside of it, and that
.. . i .
from tho moment ,1m namo.s announced at
Charleston, all differences in regard to men
will havo nn cud. Tho nomiueo will stand

oontrovorsy in regard to him will cease.
We cxnect to be ablo to sav of .him, that
his antecedents are Domocratio; that ho
antecedents are Dcmocratio; that ho
has supported Democratic moasuros and

groat principles which havo governed tho

Tho Legislatlvo Record.
The State Legislature havo much trou
ble with the printer of their Legislative
Uccord, for which they contract to pay
sivcn dollars per page, but which is so
managed as to cost a much greater sum.
The Committee appointed to investigate
the matter reported to the Senate on Mon
day, that tho contractor, Mr. George
Bergener, of tho Harrisburg Telegraph,
Republican, had entirely disregarded his
contract, filling the " Record " with dead
and unauthorized matter, for which he had
boon paid by tho State four, six, eight, and
even nine times, at tho rate of seven dol
lars per page. Thoy say :
From tho beginning of tho iirescnt ses

hundred and tlurtysix pages Wcro publish

present year of one hundred and forty pa

vate bills on tho lilos of both Houses havu
been published, without tho authority of
either branch of t.'io Legislature. The
exact number of pnos of unauthorized
mutter it is impos-ililn t'"t; vour Committee
to determine ; but had ali the matter pub
lished by tho contractors boon ordered by
the Legislature, thero would still bo an
excess of about fifty pages mado by the jt
publication of various bills and resolutions
in different portions of tho Record, (her
sixty five bills have been duplicated, and in
some in-tanecs they have been published
thrce,four and Jive, times. Tho act rela
tive to proceedings on mortgages and re
cognizances is inserted six times ; the sup
plement to an act to enable joint tenants,
tenants in common, and adjoining owners
of mineral lauds to manage and develop
tho 8,11110, seven times ; and tho act to
authorize the lease of the llempfield rail
road, nine times.
Your Committee also find that tho contrao

Speech of President Buchanan al tho Raising of tt.o
Statue of Washington.
The President made the following ad
dress at the ceremonies in Washington Citv
on tho 22d :
Fellow Citizens I accept the aus
pieious omen now presented to us in this
calm sunset almo-t without a cloud. Tho
early part of tho day was boisterous.
Many accidents also occurred to delay tho
progress and the completion of these cere
mouies. But these occurrences havo ter
minated as, thank God, always has been
the case in the history of our country. If
storms and tempests beset us in tho morn
ing, the end of the day is still clear, blight
and animating. Such, I trust, will ever li
the issue of the gloom and darkness tli.it
for a season appear to envelope us. (Ap
plause.) The honorable and importiu.t
duty has been assigned to me of dedicating
this statue of Washington, which is a no
ble production of native American genius.
This welcome and grateful task I now pro
ceed to perform. Standing hero on this
beautiful and commanding position, sur
rounded by tho Senators and Representa
tives of all tho Status of the Confederacy,
and by a vat assemblage of our fellow cit
izens, civil and military, and in full view
of tho noblo Potomac, which Washington
loved so well, and of the shores of the an
cient Commonwealth which gavo him birth
I now solemnly dedicate this statuo to the
immortal memory of tho father of Lis
Country. (Applause.) I perform this
act of pious devotion, not in tho namo of
the people of the north, or tho South, tho
East, or tho Wort; not in tho namo
of thoso who dwell on the waters of the At
lantic or of the Pacific, but in tho namo of
the whole American Pcoplo of the United
States, one and indivisible, now and forev
er. Loud applause, and cries of "Hur
rah for Old Buck." -May tho God of our
fathers preserve tho Constitution and tho
Union for ages yet to come. May they
stand like tho everlasting hills, against
which tho tempests from every quarter of
tho heavens shall beat in vain. In a word
may they enduro so long as tho namo of
Washington shall bo honored and cherish
ed among tho children of men. Renewed
and prolonged applause. May Washing
ton city, which he founded, continue throgh
out many generations to be tho seat of gov
ernment ot a great, powerful aud united
euiueueraey. ououiu it ever occome a ru-
