The reports by telegram are meagre and
most of them from Abolition strongholds.
The towns are generally against us, which
places are the first to be heard from ; bat so
fr the returns from the towns ani cities
come in very alow, which alone is a good
indication of Democratic gains. We will
note down a few of the returns from this
coonty: ' :.i
In Bloom township Hartranft received 342
Votes, Davis 180, Republican maj. of 62,
and a falling off from last Fall's Abolition
maj. of 24 votes.
In the Borough of Berwick Hartranft has
a maj. of ,27, as reported by telegram ; an
iacrease of a few on Shoddy's msj. of last
ejection.
In Briarcreek twp. the democratic maj
is 70. This is not quite np to former msjor
iiies, although a good report.
In Centre twp. Davis has 160 rotes, and
Hartranft 76, Dem. msj. of 84, and a gain
ol 8 in favor of the white man's ticket.
' Montour twp. gives Davis 53 votes, Hart

I . IFrce Fight
Catawissa, on Saturday evening last,
' upon the adjournment of the democratic
meeting, which the abolitionists bad been
riotously disturbing and endeavoring to
break np, during its progress ; some of the
more drunken and lees decent of the nigger
loving pari) came in, and concluded they
would indulge in "a free fight." It was
but a little time however until several of
them got their noses handsomely skinned,
and lost a portion of claret, that would
- greatly tend to lessen the next morning's
fceadache, from the bad whiskey tbey bad
' imbibed.
The meeting was held at a democratic
house, under a previous call, and persons
who did not intend to behave themselves
quietly and peaceably, had no business
there. The attempt of some drunken row
dies to break it op, only reacted opon them---'aelvet
; the democrats rery soon clearing
the house of their presence, and remained
' masters of the field. Three cheers for
' McClellan were called for and given with
a will " by the boys in bine" who were
at the meeting, and the lovers of the blacks
soon subsided.
The democrats behaved with great for-
bearance and only asserted their manhood
' when the demontrstions became unbeara
ble. If lie Catawissa republicans have
any shame, there is now a fine chance for
the exercise of that sentiment of modesty.
We are glad to. add that every man of the
oUcoaaand of Col. Ent, without respect
lo party, eneqoi?ocal!y condemned the ac
tina of their friends and neighbors, in this
thin '
thill.
Tut negro sofTrage party dared not hold
a meeting; in Columbia county during the
campaign, to diocuss and defend the
principles, (if they have any,) and the pol
icy (opposed as it is to President Johnson's)
cf their party : But at Catawissa, where the
democrats were .exposing their positron,
x'zzj tri?d to break op the meeting ud failed;

A REPORT
Of a distussiori between CoL WtLUSOTON H7
ET . and Capt. Michael Whjtmoter o-a
the question : "1$ negro suffrage an issue
tetwten the Dtitiocralic end Republican partus
of tin day V r
Crr. WatTMotca, of Colombia County,
agreed with Cot. Cot for a public discussion
of the question above stated. The meeting
was neiu in me Academy, in BloomiburJ,
oa Friday evening. Oemhur fith isr
Wesley Wirt Eq., was chosen President.
m wmb w w v.
and Andrew Madison and Elijah R. Ikeler,
Esqrs., were Secretaries. It was arranged
that Capt. Whitmoyer, who took the nega
tive of the question, and also announced
himself as opposed to the whole doctrine of
negro suffrage at present ; should open the
discussion in a speech of fifteen minutes.
CoL Ent, who took the .affirmative of the
question, and insisted that the republican
party was committed to the doctrine, was to
follow in a speech ol one hour. To that,
Capt. Whitmoyer had one hour to rp!y,and
Col. Ent rejoined in a speech of thirty min
ntes; and the discussion closed by a fifteen
minute speech from the Captain.
The. chairman announced the arrange
ment, and called upon Capt. Whitmoyer.
Cspt. Whitmoyer said that he had but a
few points to make, but he thought they
were conclusive npon the question main
taining as he did the negative, he would re
serve them until Col. Ent bad stated his po
sition, and substantiated it by such authori
ties as he proposed to rely npon.
He occupied in his openiog about ten
minutes.
Col. Ent in opening said That the ques
tion for discussion was to be viewed in its
broadest sense. That it was national in iis
tendencies, and bad to do with the political
parties into which the people of the whole
coontry were divided. That while he be
lived, and should maintain and endeavor to
prove, that the republican party was actual
ly committed to iLe doctrine of negro suf
frage, it was nevertheless denied by some
of them in certain localities, on account of
its unpopularity ; and particularly by John
Cessna, Chairman ol the State Republican
Committee, for the purposes of this cam
paign. To that denial of Mr. Cessna, Col.
Ent pot in answer, an extract Irom the New
York Tribune of Sept. 26th, 1865, in allusion
to Mr. Cessna's Address and denial, in
which Mr. Greeley said "Inegro suffrage
it not an issue in Pennsylvania, toe should like
to know what is." He followed this.by read
ing extracts from the speeches ef leading
republican?, the men who give direction
to the party, in favor of negro suffrage.-
From a speeeb made by Gstnsha A. Grow,
in the republican Connty Convention ol Sus
quehanna coonty "The worst troubles
are yet to come. Slavery is abolished, bat
that by no means settles the question. The
only true policy is, the equality of all col
ors, the enfranchisement of all men, while or
black." From a speech of Hon. William D.
Kelly, M. C. from Philadelphia-" There skill
be no poW.icttl peace nntil it can be made on
such terms as will place the negro on an
equality with ike while man." Farther from
Mr. Kelly, in a speech made in Congress in
reply to Mr. Cox ol Ohio, in which Mr. Kel
ly delends the mongrelism and miscegena
tion of Ceutral America. From a petition
now circulating through the State, signed
by John Cessna, Thadens Stevens, John
Hickman, Morton McMichael, John Covode.
Edward M. Davis and many other leading
Republicans, asking Jhat the following be
adopted as an amendment to the United
States Constitution. "No state shall make I
any distinction io civil rights and privileges
among the naturalized citizens of the Unit
ed States residing within its limits.or among
persons born on its soil of parents permant
ly resident there, on account of race, color,
or eVcn." He next alluded to the opening
of the Hartranft and Campbell campaign in
Pennsylvania, by Senator Wilson of Mass.,
and read from a speech of his, stating the
past actions of the party in favor ol the
equality of negroes. Then from a speech of
Morton McMichael, republican candidate
for Mayor of Philadelphia, which he said:
"I pledge myself to know no creed, nor
sect, nor color, but the truly loyal man shall
always find in me a friend, whether he be
rich or poor, black or white : and he would
not give office to acy man who would not
co-operate with, him in the furtherance of
union principles." Whereupon the N. Y.
Tribune of Sept. 26th, 1865 says: "If Mr.
McMichael should be elected, as we trust
he may, and finds a good capable colored
man for polieeman, let him appoint him."
Thus far Col. Enl had been mostly quot
ing leading republicans of our own State.
He next referred to speeches and writings of
Wendell Phillips, Theodore Tiltoo, Henry
Ward Beecher, Henry Wilson, Charles Sum
ner, Gen. Butler and others ; quotiog from
each, such extracts as committed them fair
ly to the policy of negro suffrage.
He next took op the republican press of
the State and quoted from the Sunbury Ga
xetteot Jane 30th, 1865, from the Johnstown
Tribune May 5th, 1865,from the Bedford In
quirer June 2d, 1865, from the Central Press
Jane 23d, 1865, front the Columbia County
Republican February 16,1865, Jane 29tb, 'f5.
and July 20, 1865; this latter issue contain
ing, an editorial specially endoraingand eu
logizing a 4tb of July Oration of Thomas J.
Ingham, of Sullivan County, Penna ; from
which we make the following extract.
"Justice requires that the men who aided us
in every position as servants, as informers
acd as soldiers, should have the right to
protect Ibeir liberties at the ballot-box." Of
which Dr. John says: "It is an excellent
address one to which we invite the atten
tion ef all our readers. Mr. Ingham is one
of the ablest men in this district, and what
is better he is trut " The italics are the Doc
tor's. Col. Ent referred at lenjth to the action
of different county and state conventions;
quoting from their resolutions and from
speeches made at them, by cdntroling re
publicans. That was followed by an exam
ination of the legislation of Congress, in fa
vor of negro voting and equality, in bills re
lating to the District of Colombia. And to
the action of the Pennsylrania State Senate,
where errry number of it roted io favor ef
passenger cars, and forty -two members of
the House all republicans, also voted in its
favor. While reviewing and commenting
on the above point, the hoar expired, and
the hammer fell.
Capt. Whitmoter in reply said That if
Col. Ent had. looked after his matter in the
Bible he would probably have found some
thing just as conclusive, upon this question,
S as"wbat be had read in your hearing. He
I HeninH thai H
i ...ww vaaww swiwl asavs mm r
to dictate an issue opon this question for
the State of Pennsylvania. That he was
pretty generally right on all questions, but
upon this he exceeds his bounds, and the
Captain averedthathe did not propose to
wed himself lo Horace Greeley as he is
not an exponent of that isfne in this State.
That the men of Massachusetts or New
England are no guides to the citizens of
this State upon this question. Said that
we, in the State of Pennsylvania, do not
need the negro rote. That the Colonel
charged him with hiding his light nnder a
bushel ; that we endearored to deceive the
voters into voting for negro suffrage, bat
that he was frank and fair, never hid his
light nnder a bushel, that the sentiments of
the republican party were inch as could be
approved of by every good citizen, and that
they were as bright and shining lights to the
world. That the democrats endeavored to
spring this issue upon the republican party
for the sake of deceiving them in their vo
ting that when they voted the republican
ticket at the po'.ls this Fall, they did not rote
for negro suffrage, directly or indirectly.
Deception opon this question is impossible
for it most come before the people directly
on an amendment to the Constitution. That
our platform did not contain any such doc
trine, that it mattered not what outsiders
may ssy upon this question, Horace Greeley,
Sumner, or any other man outside the State
of Pennsylvania, the question was still left
exclusively to the people of this State; and
that the representatives of this State, in con
vention assembled, passed resolutions de
claring the issues of the day, and among
which cannot be found any resolution in
favor of negro suffrage. That this question
is not a national question, but most be con
fined to the State. That the constitution of
this State declares who are the qualified vo
ters, and an amendment must be made to
that constitution before the negroes could
legally rote. That consequently, nergo suf
frage with as could not be an issue beyond
the limits of this State. No matter how
much other States may have made this an
issue, and still do so, it cannot in any way
become an issue in this State, simply by
the actions of other States. That it differs
(rgm the tariff and similar questions, in this,
that it is not a national question, but is con
fined strictly to each Stale ; and that he,
himself, opposed negro suffrage in this
Stale at the present day ; because he con
sidered the negro too ignorant to vote intel
ligently, and npon that ground he wonld
stand side and side with Cot. Ent on the
stomp and at the ballot-box against negro
suffrage.
He said that acknowledged leaders might
make mistakes, and often did make mis
takes; and that the men referred to by
Colonel Ent were now, in his opinion,
making a mistake npon this question. He
gain alldded to the resolutions of the Penn
sylvania State convention, and avered that
they contained nothing upon the question of
negro suffrage. That he was surprised Col.
Ent should branch out and refer to other
States -that miscegenation was as much a
question as negro suffrage, judging by those
references. That Col. Ent relied opon state
ments of speeches, and newspaper articles.
That Dr. John bad prioted the controversy
between Kelly and Cox as a matter of
news, in bis psper of Feb. 16, 1865.
The Captain summed op bis argument
by stating, that because we were not called
upon to rote directly or indirectly opon this
question of cegro suffrage, therefore it was
not in issue ; and objected to making an
abstract question, the prominent and leading
one. After amplifying this iJea, he closed
without occupying the whole of his hour.
Col F.mt began by saying that when be
was looking up the policy and aims of the
republican party, he nerer resorted rv the
Bible. (Laughter.) That be was also rery
happy to learn that bis young friend did
not propose to wed himself to Horace Gree
ley, that though the Captain bad arrired
at that age, at which matrimony is consid
ered necessary to comfort, he bad not yet
passed the period, when he should despair
of securing a younger and more acceptable
companion and bed-fellow, than old granny
Greeley. (Laughter)
To the first point the leadership of New
England Col. Enl replied : that though
these were the opinions of individuals,
these individuals are the leaders and mouth
pieces of the republican parly; and as
socb, entitled to be quoted as authority. In
this connection Col. Ent reviewed the his
tory ol negro agitation, and showed that
New England ideas and men, made, con
trolled and directed the republican party
be showed that with many of them, negro
voting was not a mere question of numbers,
but humanitarian and philanthropic, and
commented on the doctrine of New Eng
land of the negro being "a man and a
brother." Col. Ent was glad lo find Capt.
Whitmoyer asserting the sovereignty and
independence of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and repudiating and denounc
ing and denying the right of New England,
or ol Congress, to interfere and settle ques
tions of suffrage and other domestic regula
tions of our Slate. It was a sound position,
and a vast adrance on the late doctrines of
bis party. He called the attention of the
aodieoce lo the promise of Capt. Whit
moyer to join him on the stump and at the
ballot-box, in opposing negro suffrage in
Penncsylrania.
Col. Ent argued that a fair construction
of the Pennsylvania republican convention
resolutions favored negro suffrage, and that
the attempt to confine it to our own State
was dodging the question in debate, which
be re-stated, showiog that it was general in
its terms. That statements of speeches, and
newspaper articles, acts of legislative bod
;. flotations of conventions, connty and
the sentiments of the party using them.
There is no other method by which tbey
can be gathered. The reference to one
copy of the Columbia county Republican
did not explain the editorial endorsing the
Iowa State resolutions and the Ingham ora
tion of July 4, 1865; and fastened upon the
psper the teaching and holding of negro
suffrage doctrines.
While combatting the notion that those
questions only were in issue, which were
directly to be voted on, and showing the
utter absurdity of the argument, bis half
hour expired, and he gave way.
Cipt. Whitmoyek in reply said: That
he thought it was singular that the Colonel
entertained the idea, that because a few
radicals in other States and this, had talked
about negro suffrage, that therefore it was
an issue at present with us. That these
same men and others, had spoken and writ
tea as much upon miscegenation and a
war with England and similar questions,
and yet all were free to acknowledge that
these questions were not at issue. He de
nied that there was anything iu the resolu
tions of the republican State convention in
favor of negro suffrage that the resolutions
spoke for themselves on that point. That
in his former speech he told the Col. that
if this question in debate was an issue now,
that we'd stand side by side in opposing it ;
but wben tbe time came that, in his opin
ion, the negro should have that right, he
was then willing to grant to him tbe right
to vote. That Col. Ent said that that ques
tion would probably come up within four
years, to be voted upon in this State, which
was a virtual acknowledgement that it was
not an issue at present.
Daniel Webiter on "Greenbacks."
"The very man," said Daniel Webster,
of all others, who has the deepest interest
in a sound currency, and who suffers most
by mischievous legislation in money mat
ters is the man who earns his daily bread
by his daily toil. A depreciated currency,
changes of price, psper money falling be
tween morning and noon, and falling still
lower between noon and night these things
constitute the rery harvest-time of specula
tors, and of the whole race of those wbo
are at once idle and crafty; and of that
other race, loo, the Catelines, of all times,
so as to be known forever by one stroke of
the historian's pen, men greedy of other
men's property and prodigal of their own.
Capitalists may outlive such times. They
may either prey on the earnings of labor by
their cent per cent., or they may hoard.
Bat the laboring man what can he hoard.
Preying on nobody, he becomes the prey of
all. His property is in his hands. His
reliance, his fund, his productive freehold,
his all," is his labor. Whether he work on
his own small capital or another, bis living
is still earned by bis industry ; and when
the money of tbe country becomes depreci
ated and debased, whether it be adulterated
coin or paper without credit, that industry
is robbed of its reward. He then labors
for a eountry whose laws cheat him out of h's
bread."
Catawissa Republicans.
On Saturday evening, the 7tb, a Demo
cratic meeting was convened, according to
previous announcement, at the house ol
Jacob B. Kistler, in the town of Catawiisa.
The meeting of Democrats was large, com
prising many oi the most respectable and
intelligent men of the township. The as
semblage was called to order and Mr. Solo
mon Shuman chosen President.
Cou Wellington H. Ext, late of tbe
Sixth Reserves, was then introduced to tbe
audience as the first spesker.
He stated the proposition upon which he
was abont to address the meeting to be
this : "Is negro buflrage an issue between
the political parties of the day?"
Tbe house was filled, and among the an
dience, near the door, were a few negro
equality Republicans. As the Colonel was
proceeding in bis usual happy and gentle
manly style to prove and demonstrate the
affirmative of his proposition; showing by
extracts from speeches, by resolutions of
County conventions, by proceedings of State
conventions, and by the action of the Penn
sylvania State Senate, and of the Senate of
the United States, that tbey were favoring
negro equality and negro suffrage, their un
easiness visibly increased. A lew of them,
wbo had most likely been made drunk for
tbe occasion, began lo interrupt tbe speaker;
by entering into conversation, and others
began making some noisy demonstrations
out of doors. The fire was getting too hot
for them.
The Col. then began a review of the part
taken by tbe division of colored troops iu
Bornsides' corps, from the time they join
ed Grant in his celebrated campaign, down
to the explosion of the Petersburg mine.
His scathing exposition of the military ex
ploits of their black pets, so aroused the
indignation of tbe negrophilists, thai one of
them at the window-outside asserted that
the negroes were tbe persons who won
Sherman's battles, and another, also out
side, claimed all the hard fought battles of
Grant's campaign, and his victories to hare
'been won by negro troops.
Je IO I. promptly and indignantly repell
ed the assertion, claiming to know whereof
be spoke, and reiterating that the black
troops did not participate in any of the great
fights from the Wilderness to Petersburg;
and at last when permitted to try their cour
tage and efficiency, failed t most ignomini-
ously.
If anything were wanting to prore that
all the Abolitionists were in faror of negro
equality and suffrage, their howls at Cata
wisse would make it conclusive.
Col. Faxizc followed in a speech upon
the policy of reconstruction of President
Johnson, and showed that tbe President and
tbe Abolitionists differed ; and dared the op
position to now come forward and "support
tbe government," according to their teach
ings of tbe last four years. Tbe point was
pressed bome upon them by quotations of
passsges from the New York Triiune and
Philadelphia Daily News, and their wry
facea and hpwls and grimaces, showed how

' What's Ike use.'1
The advantages ef the course I have sag
gested would be many and various.
To the mind it would give an opportu
nity for concentration and continued appli
cation of thought lo one subject, circum
scribed by the demands of this one object,
like (he waters of a lively stream, held in
by the dam, it would deepen and strengthen.
One subject familiarized to the mind would
train it to study, one idea cherished and
nursed would exceedingly grow, until
though small at first it would resemble
the one idea of the old Dutch Governor
mentioned in the Knickerbocker, so large,
that it would take a whole year to turn it
round, and not as it is now, an elastic sub
stance, made to stretch over a large space,
exceedingly thin, or hills of potatoes too
much crowded, exceedingly small. Farmers
would have one thing particularly to think
about, and they would have lime and op
ponnnity to do so. They could read also
on tbe subject and by inquiry, gather to
gether the scattered light in converging
rays, until the whole subject would be thor
oughly illumined.
Now, farmers have so many things to
think about, and to attend to, that they have
neither time nor opportunity, nor disposi
tion to think deeply and thoroughly about
any of them. In consequence of the pres
ent coarse, it is not at all astonishing that, our
farmers generally, have hardly any scientific
apprehension of the nature instincts and
requirements of the animals and vegeta
bles tbey are trying to raite. As a matter
ol course, the work is done poorly, com
pared with what it might be. Nor can any
thing supply the deficiency, so long as the
mind is distended, distracted, acd scattered
over such a wide field, and such numerous
and diverse objects.
Wbo would think of beicg, at once, a law
yer, physician and theologian? While he
might shine in any one of these, he must
make a sorry figure in them all, and yet,
the knowledge Becessary to excellence in
either of these vocations, is not a wbit
more diverse from that requeired in the
others, than the various forms of knowl
edge required, to carry on scientifically and
successfully, the various branches of what
is called, now-a days, agriculture. The
present mode of carrying on farming, not
only reduces tbe knowledge of the farming
population in regard lo their own calling,
bul also in regard to general information.
They have too many things to think about,
and loo many things to attend to, to give
much time or attention to improviug the
mind.
It seems very clear to me, that if, instead
of burdening the mind with so many things,
farmers would confide themselves more
particularly to some one thing, they would,
not only, acquire a more accurate knowl
edge of that, but the mind would be in bet
ter trim for general cultivation. This is one
of the advantages. I shall mention some
more next week, if you are not tired.
Hosteller's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters. READ JIEV. W. B. LEE'S LETTER.
Brooklyn, N. Y., May 28A, 1863.
Messrs. Hostetter & Smith : Gentleman
I hare used your Bitters during the last six
weeks, and feel it due to yon and to the
public to express my hearty approval of
their effect upon me. I never wrote a
"puff" for any.one, and I abhor every thing
that savors of quackery. But your Bitters
are entirely removed from the level of the
mere nostrums of the day, being patent a
like to all, and exactly what they profess
to be They are not advertised to cure ev
ery thing, but they are recommended to as
sist nature in the alleviation and ultimate
healing of many of the most common in
firmities of the body, and this they will ac
complish. I had been unwell for two
mouths, as is usual with me during the
Spring. I was bilious, and Fcffiring from
indigestion, and a general disease of the
mocuous membrane.and though compelled
to keep at work in the discbarge of my pro
fessional duties,was very weak, of a yellow
complexion, no appetite, aud much of the
time confined to my bed. When I had
been taking your Bitters a week my rigor
relumed ; the eallow complexion was alt
gone, I relished my food, and now I enjoy
the duties ol the mental application, which
so recentlv were so rery irksome and bur
densome to me. When I used yoar Bit
ters, I fell a change every day. These are
facts. AH inference must be made by each
individual for himself.
Yours, respectfully,
W. B. LEE.

the Philadelphia AGE, which is steadily
and rapidly growing, makes it at least as
valuable a medium for advertising an any
other commercial and business newspaper
in Philadelphia; and the fact thai it reach
es a large clas of conservative readers
scattered over a vat extent of country, who
do not lake any other Philadelphia paper,
commends it, to an extraordinary degree
as a means of communicating with the pub
lie not possessed by any other Journal pub
lished in ibis city.
The AGE is now established on a snre
and permanent foundation. The publish
ers could easily fill their colomns wuh ihe
unsought and most liberal commendations
of the press throughout the country; but
they prefer that it ehonld stand altoe.th-rr
upon rlairrs to public cot-fidence well
known and established. It will be, as here
tofore, the supporter ol the National, Con
servative, Democratic, Union Principles,
opposed alike to radicalism and fanaticism
in every form, and devoted to the main
tenance of Good Government, Law, and
Order. The revival of all the business
relations of ihe coontry, consequent opon
the suppression of the rebellion and lha
restoration cl peace, will enable the pub
lishers to make a number of improvements
in the various departments of this Journal,
and they, therefore, respectfully solicit lh
support of all who wish to secute one of
in-? best Commercial, Literary, Bosinessr
and Family newspapers in the country.
