Harrisburg, Jan. 9, 1866
- In Congress there is little else doing but
looting after the future political 'posN
tion of the blade man! The whte man is of
no account, to comparison with the black!
Since the Republican party went into power
the interests of the (poor) white man have
been neglected. It baa been the sole aim
and object of that party to elevate the black
race, .and place it opoo an equality wi:b all
- white people. Who dare deny it? They
have gone so far as even to declare in their
speeches and publish through their press,
that this is not a uhite man's government!
Now, what can be inferred from such Ian
gaage ? Would yoa not understand that
this, then, waa a black man's government ?
The Abolition party hold this doctrine, and
pabiicly advocate if. Their press, all over
the country, are howling loud and fierce
for bjack suffrage. They declare that they
must have a weapon, with which they can
successfully meet the Irish and German el
ement of this country, else their party is
doomed to a speedy political grave. In the
oegro rests their only hope. This being the
ease, they hang upon a very rotten thread.
It is bound to break, and they must fall
deepar into the vortex ol ruin, infamy and
disgrace, than any party known in the his
tory of this country or any other. '
, A ''t-OTiL" paper professes lobe exceed
ingly well pleased that Secretary Stanton
has declared bis intention to have a stand,
ing array ol 50,000 men, "with an organi
zation adapted loan increase to 80,000;'
which means, we suppose, enooeh dead
bead officers for 30, C00 men. Wilson's
bill, now before the Romp, provides for 60
regiments o( infantry ; and 10 of cavalry
an aggregate of about 80,000 men. As
each soldier costs the Government SI 000 a
year, such a force would require 580,000,
000 a year; and reckoning accoutrements,
munitions, &c, (be aggregate would be
swelled to not less iban one hundred million
dollars a year I Rather a costly "peace es
tablishment," that. If equally divided per
bead, it would be about three dollars for
every man, woman and child, of every
hade and hoe white, black, ring-streaked
and speckled within the boundaries of
of Uocle Sam's domain.

The Congress of the U. S. boastingly au
thorizes tbat the -already drained treasury of
the U- S. be drawn upon to the tune of $25,-
000, to be presented to the widow of Abra

act, considering that the Lincoln es'ate
amounts to bear one hundred thousand dol
lars, and that ber son, Robert, bas amassed
a very large fortune in bis iuf-ncy.

The .Rump Hoase Select Committee on
Freedmen has reported a bill authorising
the setting apart of three million acren of
good land ia Arkansas, Mississippi and
Florida, to be allotted in parcels of not rver
forty acres each to freedmen. This would
make 750,000 parcefs.and at least that num
ber of families, representing about half a
million ol negroes, would be accommodated.
What is to be docs with the remaining
negroes, amounting to about two and a half
millions, is not stated, but it is likely that if
thia bill shall'pass, another one wilt be of
fered granting about fifteen- million more
acre of good land to them, in some of the
other States.
It is bad enough to have an expensive
Freedmen'a Bureau burthening the pecple
with taxes to support idle and worthless
blacks; it is bad enough to be compelled
to maintain an extensive and cosily military
armament for the double purpose of backing
op the" edicts of that Bureau and protecting
the whites from outrage and insurrection' in
regions where the black race predominates;
1 it is bad enough to have thousands of fanat
ics and villains, in and out of office main
taining that the blacks most be made equal
to the whites, "before the law," at the ballot-box,
in the jury-box and in the balls of
legislation. But, when" it comes to such
favoritism as has neverbeenshown to white
men to the selection and almost free gift
to them of the best lands, in the very heart
of the nation it is impossible to find words
sufficiently expressive aod forcible with
which to characterize the infamy of those
who are attempting to carry out such a
scheme.
It is, perhaps, needless to say that the
mass of the people of the country will not
approve of such a movement. Those who
most earnestly with tbe negroes well, and
who would be willing to make extraordina
ry exertions to benefit tbem, whenever and
wherever it can be done without sacrificing
the vial interests and welfare of the whites
have all tbe time been looking forward to
emigration and colozination of the blacks
elsewhere, without tbe boundaries of this
country, as the only proper and possible so
lution of the negro future. .
It is but a little while since one of tbosa
veryStates (Florida) was ''cleaned out" of
a gigantic stumbling-block to the develop
ment of physical resources and civilization.
There are many living witnesses to the
long contest with the Florida aboriginals
and the vast cost, in lives and treasure, of
removing Billy Bowlegs and his .remnant of
Seminoles from tbe everglades and hum
mocks to beyond the Mississippi. Do the
projectors of this negro colonizing scheme
contemplate a renewal of such troubles, in
after years, when it shall be found impera
tively necessary, to, remove by force or
purchase an equally gigantic stumbling
block to progress ? Whether they design
such trouble for future generations or rot,
they should know, if they possess a parti
cle of common sense, and if the negro is
what they represent him to be, that to that!
complexion it must come at last, or the!
dread alternative of amalgamation and ho-
mojeneity of races; which, God forbid. If
the negro is what radicalism says he is, thia
is the future in store for the country.
But, there is another aspect of the case.
To other than radical view, the negro ia not
the brave,, tbe thrifty, tbe good aod progress
ive creature represented, Those who have
studied the negro character, and who take
into account the undeveloped state of tbe
race, know tbat those tbree million acres of
land would remain in tbe possession of the
recipients for but tbe briefest possible time.
Northern radical capitalists tbe "true
friends of the colored race" would gobble
it op byj'hook or crook," for a tithe of its
value, before Sambo could realize tbat ho
waa a landowner; and then the duped
black would be granted the distinguished
privilege of cultivating cotton at ten cents
a day, to supply the mills of his Northern
master.
The bill irr question has probably no
higher object than the opening up of
another wide and rich field for "loyal"
speculation ; but, according to any of the
views we have presented, the matter is de
serving of reprobation. If it must be tbat
tbe negro race snail be fostered and sup
ported entirely at the expense of the white
laboring masses, let there be land sufficient
purchased for them somewhere under the
tropics -their natural pobition and let tbem
be colonized there at once. If speculators
choose to follow them, no one will object,
unless it be the negroes. But let there be
no more fields for "loyal" speculation open
ed, nor a Pandora's box of evils prepared
for future generations. Patriot Ir Union.
The Rump Congress, it seems, is deter
mined to force the right of suffrage upon
the negroes of the District of Columbia.
Upon leaving tbequesiion to the people to
decide, the Abolitionists were defeated. Nor.
being satisfied with the decision made by
the people of the District, the fanatics bzre
just learned that tbey, in Congress, have
entire jurisdiction over the matter, and now
are doing all in their power, against all law
and reason, to establish tbe right of suffrage
to that ignorant and inferior race of people,
known as the American Citizen of African
descent. Wonder if it would be necessary
to keep op a Freedmen'a Bureanany longer
in Washington city, at the expense of the
general Government, should the Abolition
party succeed in' making the negro a legal
voter! It might be necessary to enlarge
rather than lessen the facilities for maintain
ing the blacks in tbe event of the Aboli
tionists accomplishing what they are so in
dastriously laboring for. The hope and
prayer of the people is that tbe fanatics L
may learn wisdom yet ere it ia too late.
The safes of the Adams Express Com
pany en route from New York to Boston, on
Saturday night, January 6, were rifled of
all their contents, with the exception of two
parcels which the thieves in their hurry over
looked. The extent of tbe loss bas not yet
been ascertained, but is supposed to be not
less than half a million of dollars in money
and bone's.
i The PuUc Debt. ,
A Mr.. Raotial!, a Democratic Congress
man from Pennsylvania, a few days ago,
introduced a resolution in the House of
Representatives at Washington, to the ef
feet that the public debt created during the
late rebellion, is sacred and inviolate, and
must be paid, principle and interest, and
any attempt to repudiate and impair the
same should be universally discounte
nanced, &c.
Why the introduction of this matter into
the political arena at this early day, we
cannot divire. There has been no attempt
.made yet by the people, in any quarter, to
impair this debt. We are opposed to the
intermeddling of Congress with this matter,
and more particularly by the Democratic
party. The people will attend (o this debt
in time,., and in a manner to suit them
selves, as tbey generally do with all thinga
relating to their welfare. -We are opposed
now, and hope will continue to be, to any
attempt to repudiate or impair any honest
debts contracted by the Government at any
time. Every dollar contracted by the gov
ernment. honestly, should be paid honestly,
principle aod interest. Bat there have been
debts created by our late corrupt administra
tion which the people will hardly be wil
ling to recognize as honestly contracted
dtfbts, and may not be willing- to be taxed
to pay the principal and interest too.
Among millions upon millions of the same
kind, the McKinstry carbine fraud, which
carbines, having been condemned by the
government and sold in New York for two
dollars and fifty cents a piece, were after
wards old back to the government for
twenty-two dollars a piece will be fresh in
the memory of the people.
Bat we cannot see any use in tbe Democ
racy taking this uncouth abolition offspring
into their keeping. It belongs to the abo
litionists. It is a child of their own creation.
The Democracy had nothing to do with it.
The abolitionists, for upwards of thirty
years past, have been trying to create a
difficulty between the North and South.
No efforts were left untried to make life and
property insecure in the South. Emissaries
were constantly sent to the South in order to
create insurrection among the blacks, and
with what success tbe newspapers of that
period gave only too sad a tale. The mails
too were loaded down with publications of
an incendiary character and distributed
in tbe South for the same purpose. And
petitions, couched in the most insulting lan
guage possible, were forwarded to Congress
with a view of firing the Southern heart.
The consequence or effect of this was the
rebellion, and the debt referred to, was the
result of the rebellion. Hence, the aboli
tionists are exclusively responsible for tbe
debt, and to them the Democracy will leave
the whole management of its liquidation.
Hanover Citizen.
Cheering Signs.
Negro suffrage has been defeated every
where: in Connecticut, in Minnesota, in
Wisconsin, in the District of Columbia and
in Colorado. Upon thia issue the hopes of
,he Abolition party depend. It is the only
P'ank left them upon which to aland. If
lne7 cannot accomplisn the enlranchise
ment of the negro, their parly must go to
pieces. Since the results just referred !o,
elections have been held in a number of
the large cities and towns of the North, ev
ery one of which gave gratifying evidence
of Democratic recuperation. A few days
ago an election for Mayor was held in
Pittsburg, which resulted in the choice ol
the Abolition candidate by only 53 major
ity! Pittsburg almost invariably gives a
"Republican" majority of 1,500 to 2,003.
Soch results show tbat tbe Democratic party
is fast recovering its former vigor, and that
all that is necessary to success is thorough
organization. Let these cheeriog signs ira-
spirit us with renewed hope and cause us to t
go to work with a determination to win. In
(bis connection we would repeat our former
soggestoin to establish clubs. Every school
district should have its organization. Bed

Shooting Affair Between Jocbnaltsts.
Richmond, Jan. 5. An exchange-of pis
tol shots took place to-day at noon, in the
hall of the Capitol, between Henry Rives
Pollard, of the Examiner, and Nat. Tyler
and William D Coleman, of the Enquirer.
Six shots were fired without damage, except
the knocking off of half of the tassel on the
cane of the marble 6tatue of Washington.
Tbe parties were arrested by tbe Sergeant
at Arms and brought to tha bar of the
House. Pending a discussion on a motion
to refer the case to a committee, the House
abjonrned till to-morrow.
Tbe 'difficulty originated in an article in
the Examiner, on the public printing, to
which the Enquirer replied by calling oa
the former to name tbe person refered to,
or stand convicted ol falshood. The .Exam
iner made no editorial reply.

Answer. The school law expressly de
clares that.no common school shall be

Readers may be divided into four classes.
The first may be compared to an hour-glass,
their reading being as the sand : it runs in
and runs oat, and leaves not a vestage be
hind. The second class resemble a sponge,
which imbibes every thing, and returns it
nearly in the same state, only a little dirti
er. Tbe third class is like a jelly-bag,
which allows every thing that is pure to
pass away, and retains"only the refuse and
dregs. The fourth class may be compared
to the slave in the diamond mines of Gol
conda, who, casting aside all tbat is worth
less, preserves only pure gems. ', '
The American Educational Monthly,
published by Messrs. Schermerhorn, Ban
croft & Co., 130, Grand Street, New York
at Si, 50 per year, is a most excellent edu"
cational work, devoted entirely to popular
education. It contains valuable ideas in
reference to schools, and also, much gener
al literary matter.There is no other educa
tional journal published in America, that
affords as much nseful reading and stands
as clear from New England fanaticism .
The following criticism upon the recently
established journal, named " Our Young
Folks," published in Boston, by Massachu
setts radicals, portrays a little of the charac
ter of the Educational Monthly. The criti
cism is made by a correspondent of the
Monthly, yet we suppose tbe publication ia
an endorsement of it. The writer says:
"Thus guided, I have been pained to dis
cover, in that otherwise al most faultless lit
tle magazine, Our Young Folks, a drop of
poison, that most penetrate the young
minds and hearts which are learning from
its pages their lessons for life. I refer to the
articles concerning the treatment of oar
prisoners of war, and others of similar tone.
Tales of suffering and hardship are relat
ed with a bitterness tbat must make a deep
impression on tbe tender minds of youth,
and lead tbem to form and cherish senti
ments of hatred and retaliation.
Now, I would not object to children hear
ing of these things, if they heard both sides
impartially, for that would teach them lo
bate war itself, and to avoid whatever would
lead to it.
But children in the North, at least the
readers of ''Oar Young Folks," are never
told of the suffering that marked the track
of the conquering armies they know noth
ing of the miles of wasted desolated homes,
the throngs of starving, perishing women
and children, nor even of the hardships of
the miserable rebel prisoners who spent
dreary months or years on their own soil.
Ob, nol these things are not for their ears
and ihey are led to believe that the suffer
ings of our boys in Southern prisons was
unprovoked and nnparalleled.
This seems to me all wrong. If we are
to have peace in reality if the conciliatory
policy of our Government is to amount to
anything why embitter the 'minds of the
children by keeping continually before them
the wrongs of one side only! Better fa
instil lessons of pity and forgiveness.
It seems unwise, to say tbe least, now at
the close of one fearfal war, to sow the seeds
that must, come day, result in another war,
if they prodoce their legitimate fruit. But,
besides that, it is cruel to the children them
selves to foster in their hearts sentiments
and prejudices tbat can not elevate or refine
them, or prepare tbem for the duties of cit
izenship in a reunited conntry. My heart
aches for the cbildren.who, instead of bai ng
taught to forgive their enemies, are taught
to bate tbem with a bitter hatred."
Madame Demorest has made improve,
tnents in her valuable publication. She has
changed the size, making the magazine
more neat, and at the same lime it contains
as much if not more reading matter than
when primed in the' former style. The
fashion plates can not handily be surpassed
The ladiet all want this magazine; in fact,
we can't see how they are to get along with
out it and move in tbe most fashionable
circles. Published in New York city.
Ocr Abolition cotemporaries continue to
sing, as if it were a new sorrg, tbe dolelul

Notbwithstanding it is true that every indi

dishonor upon his name tbat we think they
should slop the cry. One, one hundredth
of tbe people lament" the loss of Lincoln,
and the other ninety-nine one-bundredths

Beware of Ambuscades.
Few people realize the fact that disease
lies in ambush everywhere, ready to 6eize
upon the weak. The strong pass through
many perils in safety ; the etrengtbless fall
by the wayside.
It is amazing that the feeble shoold tot
ter with uncertain steps over the face of the
earth in danger every day of falling vic
tims to the morbid influences by which we
are all surrounded, when a tested and prov
en vegetable tonic, capable of endowing
them with the vigor they need, is procura
ble in every city, town and settlement. It
might reasonably be thought tbat after the
twelve years' experience which the world
has had of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
all would know that its effect is to prevent
disease.
Tbe fact is notorioas that a dose of poi
son which will scarcely affect a vigorous
man ic perfect health will kill a weak one.
Now, what i9 the cause of epidemic dis

! the atmosphere is surcharged with the
seeds of intermittent?, remittent-, rheum

the physical energies then, with this poten

of the old medical dogma will at least ad
mit that a tonic and alterative, compounded

no harm, while the testimony of thousands
invites a trial of i;s virtues.
