The Abolition Tarty.
The Abolition party are only powerful as
they. conceal their real principles, and it it
because so many Democratic papers aid
them in this, (War Democrats of course) that
they are still enabled to deceive the people
to a certain extent. In Is63 Mr. Carlisle,
of Virginia said, and he had an opportunity
of knowing very much about Mr Lincoln
when the war commenced, that "Mr. Lin
coln is the cucningest man I ever knew ;"
and this, too, was the exact key to hi char
acter. ' He was hot a statesman, or a gieit
matin any respect. He was simply cun
ning, aud that oi not the first order. He
knew just how far to go, and just where and
when to atop. It he bad first proposed
measures that ha afterwards ei forced he
would never have got a soldier. It he had
not withdrawn Gen. Frknont's proclama
tion, Kentucky would have been, body and
breeches, in the Southern ConleJeraey ; bu(
ofler he had time to send an army there, he could
issue one, and Kentucky tens powerless. In
1861 Robert J. Walker, denounce i, at Wil
lards Motel, Washington city, the arming of
cegroes, in loud and boisterous language ;
and Mr Li-coln was compelled to strike
out Mr. Cameron's recommendation to that
effect, or he would have completely broken
op his armies. Toe time bad not yet r
rived ; enough Democrats had not yet come
under the influence of the green channel
Chase's shinplasters. Mr. Walker soon
withdrew his protest, and the people quietly
acquiesced. Mr. Lincoln cunningly adapt
ed the Abolition policy to times and cir
cumstances, tf a bold and reckless man
had been in bis place, t!e Derncoracy
would to-day be in power. Mr. Lincoln's
principles were those of Hamlin, Philips
and Greeley's ; the only differeuce between
them was in their policy of carrying them
oat. The disposition, in some Democratic
papers, as well as opposition, to fallow that
there was a real difference ol principle be
tween Mr. Lincoln and what they call
'Radicals,'1 was the greatest damage that
could possibly hare been inflicted upon the
Democratic parly. There was no danger in
tie "Radical." Let them have undertaken
to engineer the Abolition boat, aid it would
hare buret its boiler in lesi Uinn thirty days
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Skwabd, and Mr. Chase,
were the dangerous men. Hamlin, Pnilips,
and Greeley, would hare been as harmless
as children. The veil that blinded the eyes
of the great mass of the people North,
would have been thrown aside; and the
monstrous ami wicked end which all equal
ly bad in view, but jvbich they proposed to
. jeacb by different routes, would Lave Iain ex
posed to view in all its naked deformity.
This party hid its true purpose, from many,
for years, under the mask of Union and con
servatism Everyone to the.r tat;te ; but
we preferred a frank opponent to a sneak
ing one, and we knew ii was infinitely better
for tha country, bence our opposition to Mr.
Lincoln's re-election as well as his first.
. The Conspirators.
7ha Military Court is still in session at
Washington city, trying the" conspirators In
the Lincoln assassination. The evidence
against a portion of the prisoners is very
strong and will, in oar opinion, send them
to- the gallows. The alTdir is much thought
. of, and talked about by ever) body. The
- people are speculating over (he different
. parties, respecting their guilt or hicocence,
in expressing the probability as to which
of the prisoners will meet the death
- throes caused Ly the hangman's rope".
; There seems to be no chance for Mrs. Sur-
ralt; her guilt appears more plain the lon-
ger the trial progresses. The assassinatcr
of Mr. SevvaiiD A:zerott will be found
guilty and rtceive punishment accordingly.
t Under a fair, liberal, ami legal construc
tion of the law, we fail to see that tbe court
ran bring him in gu'.lty of more than having
committed an assault upon Mr. Siwaud with
intent to kill. Mr. Spangler r doub! was
an active and energetic accomplice of J.
Wilkes Booth. The evidence goes to show
plainly that be was in the- plot with Booth
to assassinate tbe President. There are
others equally guilty bo will be maJe. ex
amples of by the court. ' Harrold, who was
arrested in company with Booth, seems to
be having a pretty tough time in establish
ing bis innocence. He can't do it. Dr.
Mo el J, we think, tnir have to test this vir
.tw ot hemp. Points are being rained
hard to convict him as being parly con-
- cerned in the hazardous, wicked and on
paralleled plot lo assassinate the whole cab
inet. The evidence is so voluminous that
we can't tLink of publishing it in our paper.

TAR OF THE FORTH
The Situation of Sorilt Carolina.
" The follo wing paragraph is taken from the:
North Caro ina I.nej, " and we would direc
special attention of the authorities to the
.Mate ol affairs as they appear to exist there..
Some ol oar cold hearted Republican neigh
bors may think that these people in the des
olated and devastated portions of the South,
justly merit what they are experiencing and
that tbe treatment is not too severe. It is
the result of. a wicked and causeless war.

is riot lar distant when all things" will be

history of the war, have suffered most. Tt;e

without provisions, and in many cases with

how ihey are to survive the great calamity,

rrfsidect Johnson on Kcgro Suffrage.
President Johnson gave yesterday a proof
of bis sincerity and circnmpectne.s with
which, in his frequent addresses daring the
first lew days after his accession, he declar
ed tha; his past record was the key to bis
future course. In reply to a delegation
who called on him, yesterday, the President
said that the qnestion of negro suffrage ought
to be left 'to the decision of the loyal
white population of the States interest
ed. This is consistent both with bis rec
ord as a State rights Democrat and his ac
tion as Military Governor of Tennessee.
The new Constitution of Tennessee formed
under bis auspices, and in tbe adoption of
which he had the rights of a citizen of the
Stste, excludes negroes not only from the
suff a e Lot fron testifying in courts of
janice. Oat of Tennessee, and as Presi
dent of United States, he can speak only in
the character of a Federal officer ; and as a
Federal officer, bound by the Constitution,
he had no choice but to dispose ol the gen
eral question of negro suffrage pricisely as
his speech yesterday shows that he has de
cided to do. It is a matter not within the
tbe Federal Government, and President
Johnson remits it to the State.
The ouly argument wbich seems even
plausible in favor of the federal Govern
ment transcending its authority and confer
ring the electiva franchise upon the negoes,
is, that their votes are needed as a counter
poise to the disloyal proclivities of the
Southern white. We deem it a fortune that
we bave a loyal Southern man, thoroughly
acquainted with his section, for president.
He is competent to judge what will do in
the South, and what will not. But his sound
judgment and resolute patriotism are still
better guarantee that the South will not be
surrendered lo disloyal role. Negro suf
frjge is not needed as a counterpoise to
white disloyalty, for the entirely sufficient
reason ihat disloyal whites are to be allow
ed no access to the ballot box. If the loyal
whites admit negroes to (be suffrage it will
probably be for some other reason than as a
check upon their own dangerous proclivi
ties. A murderer Escaped
Andrew McGinley, who was convicted
ar-oni : five years since of the murder of
Thomas Shaveland, and under sentence of
death, broke from the jail ol this ca.inty on
the night of Mosday last. He m inaged to
escape from the cell in which be was con
fined, by sawing off six iron bars of the
window, Tlris most have taken him a con
siderable time, as two of the bars were
three-qoar'.eri ol an inch square, whila the
remaining bars were half an inch in thick
ness by two inches in width. From the
window of the cell he lowered himself down
io the jail yard by making a rope out of the
sheets of his bed. He cot out of the jail
yard by digging away the ground beneath
the stone sill tin Jer Iho gateway, there be
ing no stone foundation to impede him in
his work. He has not been captnred yet.
Tbe Sheriff, as will be seen in another col
omn, offers a reward of fifty dollars for his
apprehension.
McGinley was corvicled of the crime of
murder in the first degree, and seutenceJ by
the court, in accor lance with the verdict, lo
be hung. Wa believe the day of execution
had been fixed by Gv. Packer, but he was
afterwards twice respited for a specified
I ime, and finally, an indefinite respite was
granted by Gov. Curtin, at the instance we
learn of the Court and most of the members
of the bar of this county. Since bis convic
tion, he has been confined in the jail of
this county awaiting the action of the au
thorities in his cae: Bat it seems that ow
ing to mitigating circumstances which were
developed daring the progress of the trial,
the death penalty was regarded as too se
vere a punishment for the offence in his
case. Hence the execution of the sentence
of the court was deferred.
Would it not be an improvement if the
Governor was vested with power to com
mute the punishment in cases of this char
acter? It seems to ns that society would be
better protected in that way than by keep
ing the convict four years in the county jail,
and then suffering him to escape, to go else
where, it may be to commit the same dep
redation. -Danville Intelligencer. '

It will kbe recollected, that immedia'ely
after Ihe reception of General .Sherman's
treaty with Johnston, at Washington, Sec
retary Stanton, in bis usual impetuous and
ill considered manner, issued a bulletin se
verely reflecting on the former officer. Gen.
Halleck commanding the Department at
Richmond, with his customary zeal to toady
lo the Secretary of War, followed with a
dispatch adding insult upon the brave and
able officer whose deeds oi heroism have
made him ihe idol of hia soldiers and Ihe
pride of the country. The sequel is con
tained in a spicy correspondence between
Sherman and Halleck, on the occasion , of
ihe passage of the former's army through
Richmond, ibe substance of which is thus
given by a correspondent of ihe New York
Herald :
HALLECK TO SHERMAN.
As you will be in Richmond in a few
days, allow me to offer you the hospitalities
of my bouse here, where I shall be grateful
to receive you and contribute to make your
sojourn here agreeable.
SHERMAN TO HALLECK.
Your proffered hospitality is respectfully
declined. I had hoped lo pass through
Richmond without the painful necessity of
meeting you. Yonr recent advisory dis
patch to the War Department is sufficient
explanation.
HALLECK TO SHERMAN
I regret your declining my invitation and
the unfriendly spirit manifested in your
note. If you knew ihe leeling in Washirig
ton and at the War Department, in refer
ence to your agreement with Johnston, you
would appreciate the motive of my dis
patch to which you refer. Permit me 10
assure you of my kind feeling toward you
personally and my high admiration for your
services.
SHERMAN TO HALLKCK.
I think I understand both the circum
stances and ihe mn sufficiently well to ap
preciate the motives of your dispatch. Both
you and Mr. Stanton sent me warning to
beware of assassins, bui I did not then
know that the authors of the warning were
themselves the assassins I had to fear.
Manly and truthfully spoken, noble Sher
man !' You have proven that you have the
mettle which men aiways admire in their
public favorites. Tbe whole nation will
applaud your independence. .

the future is plainly laid oat. Tbe story of
Dr. English is continued. A sketch by a
new contributor, an ex-army officer, con
taining a graphic account of a scene in tbe

Tbe other articles will be ,'onnd readable
and entertaining. Tbe one entitled "Presi

Bridges Swept Awat. The passenger
trains over the Catawjesa railroad from
Philadelphia, was delayed on Monday last,
in consequence of a break in the Little
Schuylkill railroad near Ringold. One or
two bridges were swept away by a freshet
in the Little Schuylkill occasioned by the
heavy .rains of Monday night last. This
branch of the line between here and Phila
delphia, is controlled by the Reading rail
road, and from the well known energy al
ways displayed by officers of this road we
are assured that the bridges will be rebuilt,
and freights and all other trains pass over it
by Saturday. There has been no delay in
the arrival of Philada. Passenger trains

Miraculous Escate4 The following in
cident which happened in this vicinity we
deem worthy of record : On Saturday morn
ing last, a cow belonging to Henry Hagen
bucb. of Briarcreek township, and tenant
of Mr. Jesse Bowman, of this place, while
grazing in tbe yard ailjiining the house,
broke through tbe plank which covered the
well, and was precipitated to tbe bottom, a
depth of thirty feet. She remained in the
well some two hours, when, by ihe help of
6000 neighbors who had congregated with
ropes and pulleys, she was extricated from
her perilous position, alive I She had sus
tained some pretty severe injuries by the
fall, but soon recovered upon pmper treat
ment, and in a few hours resumed her graz
ing, as usual as if nothing had happened
her. The pump stalk was broken near the
top, and inclined to one side which we
presume broke the fall. There was also
about six feet of water in the well at the
time, otherwise, she would doubtless, never
bave been brought out alive. Tha above is
vouched for by some of eur most respects
ble citizens. Berwick Gizelle.
A Novel Sale. Yesterday afternoon an
auctioneer collected around hira in the low
er market house, a mixed and varied group
to whom he disposed a lot of tia cups, tin
plates, spoons, knives, &c, sold by order of
tae Government. Tbe tin cups were pu
op and sold iu ropes like the market peo
pie sen onions. Acer ounutes contained a
dozen to Oiie hundred aud fifty. There
was some spirit manifested by tbe bidders.
The sales ranged from 2j to 3 cents per
cup. Tbe plates 'sold at 3 to 5 cents a
piece, but tbey were in large qrtantities
The spoons sold at 8 cents per dozen. The
knives and forks brought from 30 to 65 cts
per dozen. AH the articles sold were put
op in lots, and reminded one very much of
the Yankee's razor strops "thai were made
to sell." Patriot and Union.
Mad D004. The season for mad dogs is
at hand. We see by our exchanges that
rabid dogs are to be found in many locali
ties and a number of persons have been
bitten by them. We bave in town a whole
regiment of doga from tbe smallest whelp
to the largest ball dog, and it is difficult to
imagine what injury might ba dona should
the hydrophobia break oat among them.
The subject if certainly ona worthy the at-
Com for the Patriot If Union, Ihrrisburg. J
Ii is no part of my disposition to be eter
nally carping at railroad companies. They
are great institutions, and ween well con
ducted, indispensible to the comfort and
convenience ol the community ; and it is
but joBtice to the company, as well as the
traveling public, ihal attention should be
called lo abases that are an imposition op
on the public.
Within the past two weeks I have twice
passed over the Lackawanna and Blooms
burg Railroad connecting with the Sunbury
and Erie Railroad at Northumberland, and
each time, at ihat point, have seen what
warrants the most earnest complaint. Yon
reach Northumberland at 9$ p. m. It is
dark as Erebus, and not a lamp it rains,
and you have no shelter you grope your
way in darkness over an unguarded board
way with the chances largely in favor of
being precipitated some fifteen or twenty
feel to the ground. A nighl or two ago, in
passing from the train io the station a kind
hearted man relieved a poor lone mother of
her babe, and with it in his arms was pre
cipitated to the earth below. The cries of
the child were fearful, but the injuries re
ceived were not very seriougj?" Query How
many broken legs would irrtake to consume
the damages what would pay for a suitable
accommodations 1 Then you pass to the Sta
tion House (?) shades of loud smelling
smoke pipes what a heaven for delicate
ladies and infants, to say nothing of gentle
man !
We heard a poor woman complain that
her trunks containing everything valuable
she had in the world, were in the rain, and
would be ruined I The obliging employee
cooly remarked that the company was an
swerable in damages ! But enough I Lei
us have safe transit from one train lo anoth

women and children are not compelled to
breathe an atmosphere of poison, and, if

Volunteers for Mexico. The news
paper are alit e with excitement about vol
unteers going to Mexico to help tha Mexi
cans drive their Austrian Emperor from his
throne. Recruiting offices are already
opened, and large bounties offered. Those
who go are to be known as emigrants, but
something of the same kind that Massa
chusetts imported from Germany to fill her
quota with. The thin gaaze thrown around
the transaction does not prevent the public
seeing the real nature of it. Thousands
will go, no doubt, and the country will be
glad to know that Maximilian is driveryout.
He is an usurper, and his rule will'soon
come to an end, if a few ihoujands of tbe
"Uimersal Yankee Nation" get after him.
Our government does not recognize the Em
peror.but the republic of Mexico why.tben
should we trouble ourselves about a breach
of the neutrality laws ? If Mexico waiits a
few thousand of our volunteers to help
drive away the usurper, why let her have
them, and doii'i stand on the "order of their
going." Doyhstoion Democrat.

Gentlemen. About three years ago our
daughter, now twelve years of age, waa
severely afflicted with croup. A general
irritation ol the lungs followed, producing
a nectic cough, which became almost con
8ani. swelling of the temples and othft
indications of Consumption were alo ap
parent, and her life was despaired of by
her physician. At this critical moment we
were induced to give Dr. VVi.-t ir's Balsam
of Wild Cherry a trial, and after h had
taken one bottle fwe found her sojmurh re
lieved that it was thought nnneressary to
continue its use. iSinceihat time we have
used the Balsam in our family in (cases of

superior remedy lot all diseases of the

for Mrs. Lizzie Shepherd, of Brooklyn,

it thoroughly. I needed something for my
hair, it being short and thin had used one
half dozen bottles when I could plainly,
notice an increase tn its length, strength,
and beauty. An experience ol about twy
years has proved a complete success. Mo
hair is now by measurement, four feet ten
