Under the above caption Ve notice il.at
tbe Abaction paper are lifting particular
pains to frighten certain persona from at
tending the election. Let no man be fright
! ened or deterred from attending the election
by any threat that the Abolitionist! may
I make. Persons who fled the draft, if they
be otherwise qualified are jnst aa legal
voter under tbe Constitution and law of
Pennsylvania aa any other persons. Aa the
Abolitionists bare published a 'great deal
and talked a great deal about preventing
'skedsdlers ' as they call them, from voting
at the coming election, -we desire to give
notice that if any Jodge, or Inspector, or
election board shall reject tbe vote of any
qualified voter,' he or they will be pro-ecc-ed
to the foil extent of the law. We do
not mean this as any idle threat, but as
That we know to be firm and settled reto
latiorto And io order that no man may
plead ignorance on the subject, we give be
our the law regulating the qualification of
voters and the punishment f jr rejecting the
rotes of qualified electors :
Section 1. of Article 3J, of the Constitution
f Pennsylvania reads as follows: "In elec
ions by the citizens every white freeman
f the age. of twenty one years, having
sided in this State one year, and in the
lection district where be offer a to vo'e, ten
Jays immediately preceding ancb elections,
nd within two years paid a State or Coanty
ax, which shall bare been assessed at least
sa days before the election, shall enjoy the
jhts of an elector."
This is the supreme law of Pennsylvania
sgnlating the qualification of voters. Now
it the penalty of rejecting the vote of a
ualified electors ' .
i Trie 103rd Section of the Aet of Assembly
f Jaly 2d, 1839, "Pardon's Digest, page 381,
;ads as follows: "If any Inspector or Judge
f an election shall knowingly reject the
rote cf any qualified citizen, raeb of the
ersons so offending shall, on conviction, be
ned in any sum oot lets than fifty, nor
aore than two hundred dollars."
The law is clear, and Judges and Inspec
ts are required to lake notice ofitspro
isions. We say to every man who is
ualified to vote tinder the Constitution of
ennsylvania, go to the polls and offer your
ota. If it be' rejected the election board
ill be'indicted and punished according to
ivr. This may be depended o,ion and all
fsona interested are requested to take
oiiceofthi announcement. -
Wlsile Sea! ;
Remember that Henry Winter Davis, one
the leaders of the Abolition party, said In
speech oa tha Foonh of July last, at Chi.
WE NEED THE VOTES OF ALL THE
CLOSED PEOPLE. IT IS NUMBERS
Or INTELLIGENCE, THAT COUNTS
T THE BALLOT-BOX."

There was a pretty sharp contest between
the two wings of tbe Nigger-Lovers, penJ
ir.g the late abolition convention ; and'lbe
heroes of the combat ere Isaac S. Monroe.
"The Old Fharisee," on the one side ; and
Di Pee John; who runs the "Smut Ma
chine." on the other.
The Dr., it seems, had determined to carry
h deleeaies and ose Isaac op, ami The
Old Phariseedid not mean to give i: op an.
JuM before the meeting of tbe convention,
a leading republican member of the Bar
sent word to the Dr , that if the convention
went out of its way to compliment Mercor,
merely for appointing a Post Master in
Bloorosborg against the express with, of
most of tbe business men of the place, he
would himself go into the convention, and
make tbe deleat of auch a resolution a per
sonal matter.
The Dr., trembling in his "Old Boots,"
faithfully promised that uo snch (hint;
shonld be done.
False to his promises, howeer, when the
convention as-embled ; the Pr. krd it 10
pass a resolution laudatory of Mr. Mercur,
and very 'modestly instructing him to hte
Isaac S. Monroe removed, an A.eior of
Iterral Revenoe iti ibis District, and Dr
Palemon John appointed in hi stead.
This was loo much lor the convention ami
they snubbed the Dr. short off, by refusing
to pass a resolution of tbe ki.id ; and to
make the rebuke still more pointed, ano
give the Dr. to understate! that be is about
played out, offered and passed a Resolve,
which, according to the recollection of one
of the delegates reads aa follows
"Fesolvt't, That we heartily endorse the
appointments of the President ol the United
States in this district, aa efficient and able
officers, true to the government and ita in
terests." This Resolution, passed by the Convention.
Dr. John svppresstdl Thus in effect con
demning tbe President, and his appoint
ments, Assessors, Collectors, Assistants and
Deputies.
It is contemplated now, to bring the mat
ter before tbe Abolition Standing Commit
tee, and eel a vote of censure asainst Dr
John for thua trifling with and insulting the
convention. This lover of fairness and
honesty garble the proceedings df a county
convention, because they do not suit him,
and dares to do so because some republi
cans who would force bim io deal honestly,
are out of town.
We have no interest in this quarrel. Ii
makes no difference to us wheiher Taxing
Babiea" is done by the 0 d Pharisee" or
bv the pinder ot "Thomas Donn." But the
foregoing facts having come to oor knowl
edge, we are anxiooa hst our own friends
should see the union and harmony of ihe
Nigrer-eqoality people. Dr. Joho baa dis
graced himselt most thoroughly by this
despicable business He has shown that
he is capable of any meanness, that he
would falsity the record to carry his own
point, and thai bis jftper is wholly unrelia
ble. We do not wonder at the indignation
and disgost of his party he deserves their
contempt, he has fallen beneath their pity.
Or. John and .Vgro Snrfrage.
Dr. John would have his readers believe
that "negro equality and negro aoffrage' was
not the issue in this campaign. He told his
readers in 1860 that Abolitionism was not
ihe question before the people in that Pres
idential campaign ; but no sooner than the
result wa known he declared in blazing
rapitals that Abolitionism was the issue.
Tbia was unfair and only showed the despe
ration of his cause. He date not meet ihe
people upon the true Ssne now, for the very
same rear-on that he did not meet the true
issue in 1860. Then bad he dclcred free
dom ot the negro one of the objeca ir e
result would have been different. A Dem
ocrat wool J have ocenpied the chair that
once wa graced by a Washins nn, a' JriTe--son,
and a Jackson, bnt more rcinly by a
man destitute of miny of the reqxisne quI
ities needed to make a paatly fair. .Presi

The lesser lights, snch as Dr. John, sav that
negro suflrage ji not ihe issue. fth lend
ing Abolition editors of the State, declare
that the work of the Republican party is
r.ot completed until the right of suffrage i
extended to the blacks! What does this
sound like? la ibis not pretty conclusive
evidence what they mean lo do if they
continue in power? Yet this creature of
the Columbia Co. Republican in tbe moit
insinuating manner, and in spite of what
some twenty fioe of the leading Abolition
journals of the State advocate, tells his poor
dupes tbst negro tvfiagt is not ihe. issue t
Pray, what is, then? If negro suffrage is
not the issue in the present campa-gn, will
yon please inform your readers where rro
etand upon that question, in order thatthry
may understand you in the future. It w iW
be expected of yon to show your colors ;
yoo cannot travel thus disguised much
longer ; as your party are becoming disor
ganized, disheartened, anJ disgusted, with
your course. Tell them at once whether or
not yoo sustain Andrew Johnson in bis re
construction policy ; whether yau endorse
bis address to those Mississippians, and
)our reasons for not publishing it; and
whether joe mean to give tbe President, to
wit, the "government," yoor earnest and
beany suppnrt throcuhoot, and say amen lo
allot the Federal appointments. To yoor
people these are important matter ; and
upou reading jour paper they tail to dis

The political condition of the country is
one cf the most important considerations
that should occupy the thoughts of oar
young ..-rfen at the present time. They
should determine which course to pursue
in helping lo effect the restoration of ihe
Unions and bring I: oot of the chaos in
which four year of intestine war has left it.
No young man should eo to the polls to
deposite his vote without first considering
what, and who, he is voting for; and in
looking at men should not forget principles.
Men are elected by our votes to represent
principles. Then, whom should we elect?
Shall we give our votes to men who have
adhered to the teachings of thoe whose
wisdom, statesmanship, and political lives
hae been pointed oot as examples by the
who'e world for a century? or shall we
chase the political shadows cl the day; the
demagogues whose views extend only ;n
one idea ; the partial illustration of which
has already nearly blotted out our Repub
lic's name from the proud place it held
npon the roll of nations ?
Cm i joon; man look at his country'
history and ignore the counsel of a Wash
ir ttnii, a Je fieri. on, a Franklin, and a Jack
son ? Does be-not admire their ereainess

nlont.n- Comtti-tition, escape his notice? or
would he rather look aside into tf.e fanati
cal pool Irom. whence Salem witchcraft,
tifur.ion, miscegenation, abolitionism, free
love, and a thousand other national evils,
ba ve sprocg ?
The political complexion of our country
has teen vividly painted during the past
lour years. Corruption and vice, clotlsed
in national garb, have boldly walked thro'
the land. Their venomous course could be
traced from the battle field to the fireide,
their voices hear! in the echo of the fiend
ish laughter of their voteries, over their 1
victories ol blood. And who were their
voteries? VVho were ihey that won'd pull

Will any young man commence his po
litical lifj by voting lor the exponents of
such a policy a the Abolitionists have pur
sued in the pat ? How can any reflecting
man, with ordinary intelligence, consent to
be Ihe diip of these tricksters? The des
tinies of the coontry are in ihe bands of its
younz men. It is a sacred trust bequeathed
to them tor their safe keeping. To preserve
the integrity of onr Union, the Constitution
must be respected and the Laws obeyed.
There are but two paths. One was mark
ed out by Thomas Jefferson and bears the
tread ol the invincible Democratic millions
who have marched over it to victory. The
other is the illusory way, where yoo may
follow the dark phantom.

The Convention kicked Dr. Jo'Ai and his

endorsing Isaac S Monroe and Ihe other
appointments ot the President, all ol which
however were made by "O d Abe"; and Dr.

givet a lalse account of the proceedings.
Is that forgery ? It certainly is a fraud on

All who desire high prices to continue,
no abatement in the present taxes, and ne

The party in power are the parei.ta of all

TO 1 DO ECS STEVENS-
Thi hoary-headed sinner has recently de
livered a speech at Lancaster, which on ac
count of the extraordinary and nnchnsiain
sentiments it contains, is attracting the at
tention of the country. He contends tlrat
the Southern States, by reason of their ordi
nances of secession, are no longer States of
the Union that the people of tbe South are
subrogated alieca and their territory, for
eign territory, conquered by force of arms.
He argued that as such we have a right to
demand satisfaction. He advocaied the prop
osition to cor.fi'cate the property of all rebels
worth over S10.000. This, he estimated,
vtonld produce a sum of over S3 000 000,000,
which be proposed to apply to compensating
these loyal men wnolot property in the war
(probably SoO 00) lo bimsell for tte !
destruction ot his iron-works in Adams
count) ,) the balance 10 be expended in
providing homes for the negroes and pay a
par olihf national debt. This would turn
out of houe and home about 70,000 South
ern families, including women and children,
but Mr. Stevens contends that we muM not
be influenced by feelings ol mercy. He
lavored the most rigorous enforcement of
his doctrine, even if it should drive all upon
whom it operated into txile. He notd)
avowed his belief that the very existence ol
the Republican pary depended upon the
rebel States being kept out of lie Union lot a
while; their admission would render the
speedy triumph of Ihe Democracy inev
itable. This revolutionary and devilish program
me is worthy of Thddeus Stevens. NV
man possessing a spark of h'imani y or an
iota ol fine teeling, would advocate such
mcitM'rnii doctrine. I; won d di;r..ce a
nation id heathen. To carry ft oi-f o il.l
require a s anding army
ol fi.e htindred
thousand men tor itie i.exi quarter ol a cen
tury, at a sacrifice of nnlimu. ( more ttetn
which Stevens admits is now. over lour
billion.
This speech may be regarded a a sort ol
prelude to a general attack upoirPresident
Johnson and all his plans for the restoration
of unity and concord to the nation, on ihe
part of the radical Aboli'ioniste. So soon as
Congress meets their batteries will be open
ed. These miserable fanatics see that onles
the South can be trodden down and kept un
der foot for long years lo come, their present
political supremacy is gone forever.
