Htgro Eqnality is the Qncstion.
A few year? ago scarce an individual, even
among the Republican ranks, could be found
openly declaring in favor of Abolitionism.
Ministers of the gospel and thinking men of
all classes denounced the New England fa
naticism as not merely injurious to our sys
tern of Government, but tending to increase
and spread throughout the land infidelity,
and pnociples working against the Chris
tian bible. Time wore upon these soft
shells of Abolitionism and they soon became
the most earnest supporters of Puritanic
heresy and combined with infidelity, in cry.
'i rig for a new system of government, a new
tible and a new God. No oiher means were
t liken by the New England Abortionists to
accomplish this end; thaa that of working
their principles of false philanthropy into
political'measures, and offering to preachers
and leaders of other associations, not form
erly cur.ed with Abolitionism, pecuniary
benefits and official preferments.
At this time we find a similar ground
laid opoo which Puritanism intends to de
grade the while rice, to' an equality with
I lacks ; their idea of raising the negro to
equality with the whites is impossible;
equality "can only be established by' the
itegradation of the whiles. The ministers
nd masses of the Republican party are not
jet fully prepared for this. A few more
campaigns must be couducted; a greater
amount of haired toward the Southern peo
ple and the Democratic parly of the North'
must be aronseJ ; .the soldiers who have for
more than four years bteasied the storm of
leao, wttn true inspirations ot exalted pa
triotism, most not, at this early seasou, be
insulted by telling 'them thai the late war
was not waged, by the party having power in
the Norlb, for the , purpose of restoring the
Union, bat that it was waged to degrade the
vhile man. degrade the soldier, ad make
bim and all people of this country descend
to a political and social equality with the
negro. Nothe time has not yeicome for
aM this in Pennsylvania and many other
States ; it most be withheld for a reason, or
the fereat power' of the Republican party
will be forever crashed beneath the con
tempt of honest men, and the frowns of
patriotic soldier. In Iowa and Vermont,
where infamy is already ripe, and the Negro
Equality party are sufficiently ttrong to
carry an election over the vote of the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives combined, the Re
publican Conventions, openly and without
the least reservation, proclaim in favor of
ces:o eqaality and negro suffrage. And
this is the true platform of that party to-day
(hrocghoot Ihe whole country. Cloak it
as they may, the Republican Convention of
Pennsylvania have embraced it in. their
resolution, which says that the rebellious
States should be held in subjugation and "the
I iws which are lo govern them, should be referred
to the law making power of the nation." ' This
ireans that President Johnson is wrong
when he says that the Stales stall have
power to say whether the negro sball vote
cr not, and that Congress sbonld be allowed
to legislate for the States.
We say the question is fairly embodied
in the platform even of Pennsylvania, and
that although the masses are not yet ready
to accept it, New England will work it up
on the Republican parly of the' country iu
the same manner as they worked Abolition
ism upon them. Then let every honest
roan, of whatever party, beware of the ap
proaching disgrace. Degradation of the
white race to an equality wiih negroes is
.the object of Republicans, and they will
cpenfy proclaim it when policy will permit
then to da eo. . '

Aegro Saffrage.
Both Republican papers in Susquehanna
coanty advocate negro suffrage. The Mont
rose Republican says, editorially, "We are
in favor ol negro suffrage ;" and the North
em Permsylvanian, at Susquehanna Depot,
has a quoted editorial declaring that the
"naked issue" is negro suffrage ; that North
ern sentiment is right, and that Southern
sentiment roust be made right on the sub
ject. Montrose Democrat.
The above named Republican papers are
a little more honest than many other pa
pers belonging to their parly. They de
clare at once in favor of "negro suffrage"
do not wish to delude their readers and
folly meet the "naked issue." What has
the Columbia Counfy Republican to say upon
this question? Is that paper in favor of
negro suffrage or not ? - Why does the editor
not come out sqoarely upon the platform
like bis brother editors in Susquehanna
county, and tell his readers where be stands.
His patrons are acxious to know. If silence
gives consent, ne can oe sateiy marKeu
down as a supporter of "negro eqaality"
and "negro suffrage ;" although be does
not possess the pluck to stand op and say
so. But, 6bouId the Republican ticket carry,
(of which there is not much danger) he
will have the audacity to claim that the
election was carried upon the very issue
be has not the courage or backbone to ad
vocate before the people through his paper.
These is no use talking, Col. Campbell
can't beat Col. Linton for Surveyor General
of this State. The latter was a faithful and
brave soldier, while the former was all that
was necessary in the eyes of a Black Re
publican administration to hold a commis
sion and enjoy the emoluments of a lucra
tive pobition, without exposing himself to
any of the dangers incident to war. The
brave boys, as well as the old - Democratic
veterans at home, will give a good account
this Fall in favor of Democracy, constitu
tional liberty and rational freedom. The
people are fully alive to the Usues. Tbey
will vole (o have all the wrongs, which have
been heaped upon the Democratic party,'
redressed ; to have retributive justice meted
out to every scoundrel in the . land, who
abused his "little brief authority," by in
flicting punishment opoc Democrats with
out cause or provocation.
Patriot and Union. In another colomft
of (be Star will be found the Prospectus of
the Patriot and Union, for the campaign of
1865, published at Harrisburg. This is, so
far as our knowledge of newspapers goes,
the best weekly journal in all Pennsylvania.
Politically, it is soundly Democratic, and
rarely if ever advocates a measnre but what
proves to be in ibe right. It is the central
organ of the Democracy of Pennsylvania,
and at this time more than any other, (it not
being 'in the interest politically of either
Slate or national administrations ) needs the
earnest and hearty support of the Democrat
ic party. Every Democrat: who can afford
to take one paper besides his county pa'per
should send lor the Weekly Patriot and Union.
By all means give this yocr early consider
ation. Try it for the campaign, if not lon
ger. For terms fcc, read prospectus.-

B. L. ForMer, Esqn of Daephin, was
elected Secretary of the. Committee.
An interchange of views as to the con
duct oftbe campaign was had, and the
Chairman was empowered to perfect cer
tain preliminary matters.
The Committee adjourned to meet at the
Vigilance
Horrible Cntrae ia 3 ssonri. . ;
On Thursday afternoon last, 'Judge Lewis
F. Wright and four of his sons were cruelly
and inhamanly murdered by the road side,
on the rout from Roll to Houston,some five
miles southwest of the former place. The
murderers, as 'we are informed, were com
mitted by a squad of Miller counly militia,
some nine in number, under command of
Col. Babcoke, who reside in either Miller
or Cole county. .
It appears that this Col cnel and bis squad
of militia, on Tuesday last, went to the resi
dence of Judge Wright, in Pbejps county,'
about ten miles from Rolla. Tbey remain
ed there until Thursday. Ou that day tbey
arreMed Judge Wright and five of bis sons.
Some sort of an investigation' was made
into accusations brought against the parties
either fancied or real, when it was determ
ined to take them to Rolla, as it was given
out, for further trial. . Mrs.- Wright, the
wife and step-mother of the .Judge and his
sons, at first implored Co. Babcoke not to
take her family away. Finding that her en
treaties were o cavailing she then besought
him to permit ber to accompany them.
This was also refused, but upon her im
ploring bim to do something for ber protec
tion, as sbe was fearful cf being murdered
if left alone, the youngest son, a mere strip
ling, was released.
The Judge then mounted on a horse by
himself, and his four sons upon two other
horses, under guard of the squad of m ilitia
ostensibly to be taken to Rolla. Before
reaching that point , as above stated, they
were all inhumanly butchered and their
bodies left lying in the brush by the road
side. No less than twenty-six shots were fired
in the persons cf lhe"fivel Twelve of them
took effect in their heads. Before the bod
ies were reached by thefrantic wife and
mother and remaining son, four of the fire
were dead, and the filth insensible and dy
ing. About five o'clock Thursday evening
word came to Rolla that the murders bad
been committed, creating intense feelings
of sorrow and indignation. Nothing how
ever, was done in the matter that evening
Next morning, a wagou was sent ont, and
the bodies of the fire murdered men were
brought into Rolla. A gentleman who saw
ihem, says they presented a horrible appear
ance, their faces all ghastly with wounds
and blood, and blackened with powder.
Judge Wright had been shot in the side
lace, the weapon being held so close as to
burn it, and leave large blotches of powder
sticking in the skin.
The Judge is represented lo us ss being
about 60 years of age, and an estimable
citizen. For the past 25 years he bad resi
ded in Phelps coun'y, and held the office
of County Judge for a number ot years prior
to the war. Ever since the beginning of
our troubles in Missouri he had enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of the military in
command in his neighborhood, his bouse
being frequently the stopping place of offi
cers whose men were camping at the
beautiful spring on his premises and near
bis residence. Two gentlemen intimately
acquainted in Phelps, assure ns that no
more honorable or more respected citizen
lived in the county. '
-It is said that two of the murdered sons
had been in the rebel army, and had return
ed since the surrender of General Dick Tay
lor, under whose command one of them
had served. It may be that this was the
cause inducing '.he cold-blooded murder of
nearly a whole family. To their credit, and
to the credit of the whole neighborhood, it
should be said, however, these young men
were behaving themselves with becoming
propriety, thdrr conduct gaining the confi
dence and good will of many Union soldiers
and citizens in that comunity. So indig
nant were some of these soldiers at Ibe bru
tal outrage perpetrated io their murder, that
they at once expressed a willingness to
volunteer and "clean out" their cowardly
murderers. And it is all the more damning
to the lawless brigands, at whose hands
this atrocity was perpetrated, that they
should travel many miles from their bomes
to perpetrate it, while the loyal and law
abidieg of thai community were willing to
afford them countenance , and encourage
ment. We understood that some daya previous,
this Colonel Babcoke started either from
Jefferson City, or the northern part of Mil
ler county, with a detachment of forty or
more men. on bis errand of blood. From
thence they traveled through Miller into
Pulaski county. Near Waynesville, Ibe
counly seat of Pulaski they arrested W.
Stewart, Esq., a respeoiable citizen, former
ly Deputy Sheriff of the county, whom they
cruelly put to death. They also arrested a
number of men and women on their route,
and a woman is said to be stil! missing,
whom these red-banded outlaws are believ
ed to have made away with. Si. Lewis Re
publican, August 21st.
Shoddy Opinion or Soldiers. The Phila
delphia News, a shoddy organ, says that
General Hartranft went into the service "im
bu'ed wiib a religious sentiment," and "de
voted all the energies of his soul to the
cause," but that Col. Davis only marched
forward to "draw bis pay, "and to "seek the
hoaors which' the Government might be
stow." It is strange, however, that Hart
ranft cot all the honors' and Davis all the
wounds Davis having been wounded three
times and left his right hand upon the bat
tle field, while Hartranft bears not a single
scratch !
Harper's Wetkly publishes a large wood
cut, representing the Goddess of Liberty in
the act of -apparently trying to hug a on-
tegged negro boldier. Wepurchased a dozen
copies of Ibis interesting picture, designing
to present them to some of the returned white
soldiers of our town. Bat the first one we
exhibited to a soldier causeJ bim to curse
and swear ao horribly, that we hid the o ther
eleven in our own house, not wishing to be
the cause of so much furious profanity. We
recommended the Republicans to purchas
fifty thoosand copies of thia excellent picture,
and circulate them through New Jersey
in the present campaign, for Governor. 0i
Guard.
Iht Cnconstitatioaal OaUi in Sissaarl.
. " From the Illinois State Register
Matters in o&r neighboring State are rap
inly approaching a crisis. . The Oath requi
red by the late convention, in their so called
Constitutional Convenliou, is being gener
ally refused by both clergy and laity, by
lawyers and people; neither will take it.'
Able articles have appeared in the St.
Louis papers denouncing the requirement
to take the oath as tyrannical, indefensible
and unnecessary. A masterly letter, writ
ten to the Attorney General of the State by
G. L. T. Davis, one of the ablest jurists of
Missouri, appeared in the Mvtmiri Republi
can, on Monday last, and attracted general
attention. The vie its taken by the writer
are masterly and unanswerable. He at
tacks the action of the convention with great
severity, and shows that the object of that
body in fulminating the oath is to disfran
chise the lawyers and take from them their
profession. Oiher writers have also ex
pressed their opinions, and the utmost dis
satisfaction is held regarding the obnoxious
oath. . .
As with the lawyers, to with the clergy.
A determined opposition is evinced to tak
ing this unnecessary oath.'' The Catholic
clergy have agreed unanimously to refuse
it, we are informed, and other denomina
tions. The bishop of the Methodist Church,
Kavanaugh, recently delivered an address
to his people, in which he' c ounseled them
to abstain from taking the oath, adv'uing
them that to take it would be at variance
with their obligations and relationship to
God.
Arcbbie bop 'Kenrick, of the Roman
Catholic Church, has written a letter to the
priesthood of Missouri, informing them lhat
they cannot take the oath . in question with
out sacrificing their religions liberty. The
venerable prelate promises -in case the civil
power does not abstain from exacting such
an oath, that he will give such counsel and
assistance as may be required.
The main objections io this infamous oath
are stated to be in this, ibat it proposes to
hold the people subject for their sympathies.
Human laws never heretofore considered
the cherishing of a sympathy as criminal
Thus the lawyer or preacher is required to
swear that he has never held sjmpathy
with the Southern rebellion. Again, retro
spective laws are inconsistent with our pol
icy and Constitution. All ex post facto pen
alties are void. That which is not criminal
to day cannot be punished as a crime by a
law passed to-morrow. And yet tht oath
claims the right to make an action of verier-
day what was not then crimnal, to-day to be
a crime. Another objection to the oaihT
arises from its partial and invidious distinc
tion. Why should preachers and lawyer
be required to take an oath before they can
pursue their profession, which is not exact
ed of doctors or otber?
Every indication points to a speedy break
ing op of the political elements in Missouri.
We pity that unhappy people. As if she
had no: suffered sufficient during the rebel
lion, a party of rabid fanatics are now seek
ing to plunge her in a "lower deep" of hor
ror and suffring. As the obnoxious oath
must be taken by lawyer, preachers and
others bythe first week io September, and
as the period is rapidly approaching, we
look for exciting limes shortly in the over
ridden State.
The Tennessee Election The following
is given as the result of the recent election
of Congressmen in Tennessee:
1. Nathaniel G. Taylor, Abolitionist.
2. Horace Maynard,
3. Col. Wm.- B. Stokes. "
4 Elmond Cooper, Democrats -
5. Wm. B. Campbell, "
6. Dorsey B. Thomas, "
7. Col. Isaac R Hawkins, Abolitionist.
8. John W. Leftwich, Democrat.
Four 'Abolitionists; four Democrats.
There has, of late, been a great mortality
among the Loyal Lesguers in every North
ern State, a large number baring been inhu
manly murdered by returned soldiers, lor
having -been too attentive to their wives
while the brave boys were absent in the
army. And this is the way the Loyal Leag
uers fi.no to armt in the service ofMheir
country.

' BE31RXS OF Til 02 AS CDALFlT, ESQ.
At the Nob Mountain Meeting, on Wednesday
Evening, August ZOth, 1865.
Thomas Chalfant, Esq., of Montour Co.,
(in response to repeated calls from the au
dience came forward and said : '
I did not come to this meeting to speak;
I came to be a listener. I came over into
your county to day to hunt op a camp
meeting, and then as a chronicler of tews I
thought I would take a look at the Fishing
Creek Confederacy ground, and perhaps go
op to the great fountain of the conspiracy,
Rantz'a barn. .(Great Laughter.) And per
haps if 1 continue my peregrinations I may
see where the famous General Cadwalader,
flanked ibat mountain. (Renewed Laugh
ter.) , I was struck with amazement to-day,
when I saw march upon your platform some
30 ot the men who it was said got up a re
bellion in this vicinity so that Lincoln had
to send a part of his army here to suppress
it. (Continued Laughter.) 1 was surpris
ed to find that tbey were all quiet, plain far
mers ; and yet tbey were taken down to
Uocle Sam's boarding boose at Fort Mifflin
No doubt, Gen. Cadwalader was right when
he said that whole thing was a farce ; but
nevertheless it had an object. These troops
were sent here because your county is full
of that peculiar growth called Democarts
men who will not yield to tyranny, though
it be backed by Loyal Leagues and by
large armies. The object waa to arouse a
conflict so that they might have a pretext to
ravish your homes, desolate your fields, and
imprison your persons, or else frighten you
from your ancient faith and make you mere
vassals of that ephemeral crew who have
crawled into "the seats of patriots at Wash
ington. The party now oppressing us has
had but one object since its inception. One
oi it great leaders, Alexander Hamilton,
said in the Constitutional Convention, that
the British government was the be: form of
government that ever existed. The expe
dition np Fishing Creek last year failed.
They could not succeed in getting np a con
flict between you and the military arm of
the government, nor could they qaell that
unquenchable spiiit of Democracy which
has burned brightly in this region from the
days, of ihe Revolution to the present lime.
Alihough they dragged off your hoary-tead-ed
old men, your middle aged men, and
your young men, and ibrust them into fihhy
dungeons, the mighty phalanx of freemen
here present is an evidence thai. like the
Christian church we gather strength by per
secution. I am sorry to say that there are
men in your midst who are responsible for
thii proceeding, as there were men who led
Ihe stealthy Indians lo-ihe Massacre of Wy
oming, and as there were Tories in the
Revolution, and these men are their regular
successors. They are opposed to you on
principle and always will be, for at heart
they favor a monarchical system of govern
ment. The) have disguised it in a thou
sand subtle forms, but the speech of Ham
ilton to which I have alluded was the key
note. They were defeated in the Constitu
tional Convention, and lor many years our
country was guided by the principles of
Jefferson, until in an evil hour our people
listened to the voice of the syren and plac
ed in power at Washington those who have
persecuted ns for the pat four years ; but
the blood of Democratic martyrs is the seed
of the American Republican church. True,
they have put an iron harness on you which
will bear you down and your children after
you for years to come a heavy load o! debt
contracted in the effort to make Sambo free.
Are the white race to be slaves in order to
confer a doubtful boon npon the negro
which may perhaps finally result in his ex
amination ?
The party now in power seem almost to
have accomplished what they have been
aiming at since the days of Hamilton , they
have row the purse and the sword united,
and we have felt their fearful power. Paris
is said to be France, and they have sought
to consoldale power here so that Washing
ton shall be the United States ; tbey have
sought to destroy the reserved rights of the
States. You must nnw brinz about a reform
in Ihe practices that have crept in during
the last leur years; ou must cleanse the au
gean s able at Wa9hinton;bol before we can
do that, we most commence nearer home
and purge this state oi the meo who are and
have been robbing us. The darkness that
has ob-cored the country ia breaking away;
peace has descended once again upon our
land. The Democracy are looming up
in every direction. We hive the disci
pline, we have the nerve, and if we are on
ly true to ourselves, true to the memories of
the past, true to oor country and to her his
toric renown. we shall yet succeed in bring
ing back the government to its ancient and
honored land marks. (Great applause.)

THE WEEKLY
FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1865.
The political campaign- just optninz in
Pennsylvania is destined to be one of great
importance, and io have a powerful influ
ence upon ihe future of the country at la'rge.
In a great measure it will determine lh
gubernatorial contest of 1866, and hare an
influence upon the presidential election two
years thereafter. But, more important, it
will probably determine Ihe choice of the
next U. S. Senator from thi State and thus
affect the legislation of ConjjrfFf and the
restoration of peace to the land. It is,
therefore, of vital importance that every
exertion should be made by every member
of our party io secure the vic ory. Not
only stioulJ eveiy local organization be put
to work, but every honorable means should
be adopted to stir up the apathetic and
lukewarm, and to make new votes by con
version. It can only be throuah the im
mutable and golden principles of Democra
cy that the cooutry can be redeemed from
Ihe thraldom of fanaticism, degradation and
taxation. Outside the Democracy theie are
no principles. The rule of action of the
opposition is ever changing one thins to
day something else to-morrow. It is held
together merely by expedients the la'est
and most outrageous of all being the mod
ern, six-months political trick of necro
suffrage. To defeat this, and all other
sc!. ernes of the Abolition-shoddy hordes
who live only to plunder and tyranntze, let
every Democrat arouse and gird on the
rusty armor of his fathers in Democracy
of Washington, of Jefferson, of Jackson ;
and march to battle and to victory !
THE WEEKLY PATRIOT AND UNION.
As the Central orjran of the Democratic
party the Weekly Patriot and Union has
acquired a lar-e and more diffused c'ueu
latiyn than any other Democratic journal
in the. Slate. , It has heretofore occupied
an influential position as an able and in
dustrious worker in the cause of Democ
racy, and its friends say that it still contin
ues to be a valuable organ of the party.
It is not for us, however, lo pnff our own
work. If we have been faithful to the
cause of the party and the country, we
hope every Democrat will make it an ob
ject lo extend our field of operations, by
adding lo our list ol subscribers. The low
price of the Weekly in comparison with
the amonnt of matter furnished, makes it
one of the cheapest of newspapers. We
hope every good Democrat who reads ihi
will send his name and S2 50 for a copy for
one year. If this is too much for those who
are very poor, let ail - sucti send us nny
cents each, and receive the Weekly
and Union for ihe campaign. The
