Tfrgro Suffrage.
Ii is evident, if 8 may Wga om the
splurges made by certain ones In Congress,
that suflragu for the negro is becoming
plague to its inventor. Designed for poln
ical capital and party parposes, its origina
tors were indiffereni to the ii jury it might
inflict upon the 'country. But it is now a
-ssriaosabd alarming .p'ague to some ol the
"Ira'defs1 of the "Republican party. Its pass
age by the House ol Representatives, in the
bbape of negro suffrage for -the District of
Colombia, has committed the so-called
-Union party to the doctrine of universal suf
frage for the negro, in every S ate. And on
that question the Hon. U. MERCUR, of
t u is District, whom the .people of Columbia
County, mt least, looked upon as a conser
vative and -moderate Republican, votes
in the' affirmative'! 'He has row shown
bi hand, will yo sustain him 1 The
people of this county have assisted in
electing a man who declares by his acts
that universal negro suffrage shall be estab
lished in every State in this Union. Does
' this suit. your tastes:; or is he simply csrry-
ing out" your wuhe, 'long concealed from
- the masses' We should think not ; the
people of this'county who supported Mr..
-Mcfccua, are not in favor of negroes voting ;
neither are they willing to hare them sit
-irrthe jury box, in our Courts, or in any
manner placed upon an equality with the
whie people There are not ten negro suf
frage advocates in this couuty ; yet should
the question ever be brought before the
people there would be some poor, weak
minded, simple souls, induced 10 vote for it.
'We now have the beat kind of evidence that
-nugro suffrage was the issue in our last
campaign, notwithstanding certain would-be-leaders
of the Abolition party toatly de
nied that it was an issue, in tb-ia Slate or
any other. The little Cbair.-nan of the Re
publican State.Cntal Committee, of Pen-n-lvania,
hd the impudence and -boldness
to come out m a -circular letter, a few days
before fhe late election declaring 'negro suf
frage otit of tbe campaign, snd denying in
the strongest Urmt that it was an issue.
.Horace Greely, upon seeing (his, became
'disgosted in the manner politics were" being
-Ctwsua. He was o much surprised at
Cessna, evading the issue, that 'he earnest
ly inquired of the Chairman, through his
'Tribune, as follows ; "If negro suffrage is not
issue in Pennsylvania, pray tell as, what
is 1" To this interrogatory Mr. John Cessna
made no reply, but left every man to infer
ifurMr. Greely was not wrong and that ne
gro suffrage was the issue aod the only issue
in Pennsylvania, at that lime. Since that
election the question has been brought be
fore Congress and every Black Republican
Member from this Slate,- wi'.h but ex
ception, voted spang for negro suffrage ;
and after having sa voted they turn their
e)e homeward asking a hearty endorse
ment from the people. It is now to be seen ,
whether the people will sustain them. We
bope not. We cannot think the good sense
ol the people bare entirely passed away.

Car Financial Conditoaflow to EcUru t)
Specie Paymtnts.
The diScutiiea which- appear to. surround
tbe question of national finance will prove
more imaginary than real wften we spply a
little common ene to their solution. The
greatest trouble is that the subject has be
come mystified and complica'ed by the
thousand nostrums of would be financial
doctors. It is an inviting theme, and ev
ery little banker or accountant takes it up
and thinks bis limited experience in local
business enables him to treat it in a national
point of view. 'This is a mistake. Neither
soch men nor the lawyers and politicians
who have attempted to solve the problem
have succeeded. Their'views generally are
too contracted, or they indulge in theories
that have no practical value. The conse
quence is that, with boundless resources in
the country to promptly meet our liabilities,
or to discharge them, and to return to specie
payments, we are floundering about in a
sea of uncertainty, and may end in a uni
versal wreck.
The original catse of our financial troubles
was Mr. Chase. Being Secretary ;J;;
Treasury when the government reqnirsd
large sums of money to carry on the war,
and not understanding the subject of finance
be flooded the country with paper money
and laid tba foundation ol tbe national bank
system. This lawyer- Secretary ' of the
Treasury was followed by a politician from
Maine, who knew as little as bis predeces
sor. Then, came tha present Secretary, a
respectable banker, who onderstood Wall
street operations, bank -discounts and bank
circulation, but seems to have got beyond
his depth in the mazes of national finance.
He adopts the old theory of the bollionists,
enunciating it, however, with many quali
fying expressions, and brs practice, from
necessity, is contrary to his theory. As to
Congress, judging from what we have teen
ot the capacity of that body, there appears
to be a lamentable lack of ability to treat
this or any other great question in a states
manlike manner. We have litife hope that
our representatives or officials, apart from
the President, will take a broad common
sense view of tbe matter unless pressed to
do so by tbe people. Tbe importance of
the question cannot be overestimated either
in its immediate or remote bearings; and
it is necessary that the press should take ii
op with earnestness and that the people
should. urge such measures as the country
requires.
One of the first things to be done is to
take steps to break op the present system of
national banks. Tbe principle on which
they are founded h radically wrong. The
credit of the government is being U6ed to
the extent of four cr five hundred millions
for private -benefit, or to enrich private com
parries, and neither the government nor rbe
pe oj'le receiving any profit whatever.
These banks are allowed to do business on
gorerneient securities. Their issues are
breed on theee securities, the government
furnishing them with currency, or notes for
circulation, nearly" to the full amount depos
ited. The deposited securities, however,
are active or productive capital as well as
the notes issued upon them. Thus tbe na
tional banks draw six or seven per cent
from the government as interest on the se
curities deposited, and make as much, or
wore than that, on the notes for circulation
given to them by the government, fa other
words, tbe banks are making at least from
twelve to fifteen per cent on their capital by
the favor of the government, without reck
oning tbe profits of their business in other
respects. Now, who pays this? From
whom is this profit drawn? Tbe people.
The circulation of these banks will reach,
when distributed all over the country in re
quired proportions, five hundred millions.
From this tbe bankers will draw at least a
clear yearly income of sixty to seventy five
millions independent of other profits aris
ing from the banking business. Never were
capitalists so favored by a government be.
fore. It is impossible that socb an enor
mous tax upon the industry of the country
can continue without the moat serious con
sequences ; for, after all, this sixty or seventy-five
millions annually has to be drawn
from the industry of the country. But thin
will not be the only, or perhaps the. least,
evil. This national bank sjstem will build
up au oligarchy, a moneyed power, far
mofe formidable than that of tbe old na
tional bank which Jackson strangled. I:
will keep our finances inflated and disar
ranged, and in the end will bring upon us
both financial and political trouble. The
people ought to become enlightened a9 lo
its dangerous character, and Congress ought
at once to begin to apply a remedy either
by taxing thoae banks out of existence, as
the old banks have been, or by some other
equally efficacious measure.
Instead of withdrawing the legal tenders
lo make way for the circulation of these
enormous private companies the govern
ment should have the benefit of its. own
circulation. Cocgres3 ha? power under tbe
Constitution to coin money, and if it had
power to issue legal lender, or to issue notes
to the national banks, it has power to make
and establish a fixed currency of its own.
A bureau could be established at the seat of
government, with exclusive control over the
subject of national finances. It should have
power under provisions of law, to contract
or expand" operations according to tbe
rate ot exchange abroad and the balances
of trade. It could be made to operate
something like the manner in which tbe
Bank of England operates, only ia a more
extended and powerful way. Oar. legal
tenders (and under this system we suppose
there would be no other national currency)
would soon be like the Bank of England
notes at par with gold everywhere. This
country, then, from its van resources and
geographical position, might become, at no
distant day, the money centre of tbe world.
At ail events, something must be done soon
to correct and establish our moneyed system
upon a sound basis or we shall be in dan
ger ol both financial and political troubles.

The tcmocrartc ' State Convention. .. -ij
venea upon the 5th of March nest, and us
most important business will be te nom
inatiou of a candidate for Governor. If'Ao
should be the nominee? "First and foremost,
he rnu.t te a man of 'unquestionable integ
rity and firmness. "Second, he must te a
thorough Democrat, bbld "in the avowal of
his principle?, and he should be a schooled
statesman ot high ability as' such, a logical
reasoner and popular speaker, and a man of
such' commanding talents generally as to
leave no doubt of bis ability to discharge
all the duties of Governor of this the great
est Commonwealth in America. Without
these qualifications no man can at present
be a strong candidate, but with these secur
ed other elements of availability should also
demmand attention.
In our view, the Hon. Hiesier Cltmer,
of Berks county, combines all the qualifica
tions desired to an eminent degree, nd
that in every phase ol tbe question he
would be the most proper as well as most
popular, and by great odds ranch the
, cesi caocliJale that could be put in the field
at the present time. Of an unimpeachable
personal aud political character, he is a
thoroughly schooled statesman schooled
especially in those things which relate to
the affairs of tbe State and the duties of a
Governor. Long a State Senator, and from
the hour he look bis seat the leader of his
political faith in that body, he has for years
been ably discharging the very duties that
the Governor is called on to perform, No
man will question bis personal integrity, his
great ability, or his thorough experience.
As a logical reasoner and public speaker be
has few equals, and in personal popularity
he will prove a full match for any man. A
thorough representative of that stern and
patriotic, frugal and thrifty, thoughtful and
firm old race popularly known as Pennsyl
vania Dutchmen, he would command their
confidence and votes to a degree that few
other men can. A retrospective view of
rbe history of the Slate will convince any
mac that the candidates which represented
tois class were always peculiarly strong,
and, with the single exception of Rimer,
always made tha best of Governors. Rep
resenting in the blood of bis veins loth
those grand old re-volntiooary families of '76,
the CxvMEtt aud the IIiesteks ever men
of patriotism, courage, fidelity, activity, and
and firmness he is .at this time peculiarly
fifed to be the representative of that system
of the moot complete free Government es
tablished by them, and which is now if
ever to be re-established ,bj the Democrat
ic parly.
In additon to these there are other com
manding reasons vbybe should be the nom
inee. Berks is the mother of Democracy
in Pennsylvania, and its sternest and most
powerful upholder. She deserves ho cor
and consideration a! the bauds of the Dem
ocracy of the State. She has often asked
but never received tbe Democratic nominee
for Governor, except Muhlenberg, who
died before the election. She now, and
again with entire unanimity, presents
Hiester Cltmer. An unexceptionable man,
peculiarly fitted, why will the politicians
refuse her request? As the noblest aud
bravest of men will fight with more vigor
and power for those who gave him natural
life than for others, so will the Democracy
of tbe. State fight for old Berks tf their Con
vention gives them the opportunity. Let
Berks no longer be contemptuously treated
She deserves honor tat an honorable party
give her that it owes her a thousand fold.
We write no eulogy or panegyric for
either the man or the county. We have uo
personal advantage to gale aside from the
public good. We have only in a plain
way given Teasons wich we most sincerely
believe should actuate the party and the 5:h
of March Convention. Our faith is strong
that such reasons as we have given will
prevail, and then victory must come Clinton
Democrat.
One of tbe Instruments.
The proposed amendment lo the Consti
tution of the United. States, which is found
in another column, with the vote by which
it passed the Hoose of Representatives is
one of the instruments to be used in pro
crastinating a restoration of the Union.
This is easily understood, when we notice
where it comes from and how it passes. It
is a resolution from the so-called Recon
struction Co mini1 tee. This commi'.tee is
composed, chiefly, oi the most radical Ab.
olitloniste, who are directly in opposition to
a speedy restoration of the Southern States
to their rights as States of the Union. The
committee was formed lo suit the caprices
ofSumoerand Stevens and is controlled by
them. The resolution passed the House
npon a strict radical vote, the moderate in.
ion Republicans voting in the negative. It
will probably pass the Senate, then be sent
to President Johnson, who will veto it. It
will again return to be discussed and passed
by a two-thirds vote in both Homes ; and
being then ready for action by the several
States, Congress will leisurely await the de
cisiorwof :he States, and during all the time
thus spent, restoration will be procrastinated.
Thus the Republican party may sustain it
self by forbidding Southern Representative!
ontil the amendment may be ratified by a
sufficient number of States :o make it a
proper amendment to tbe Constitution, whict
ratification will never be made.

"What'i in a Same ?"
An exchange suggests that instead of call

call them Oligarchy. Well, oligarch j is
literally government by a few. But we can
suggest a better name for that party, though
we have to make it, and thai is Nigrarchy.
Thre word we compose ol m'-, black, and
arche government, . e, 'government cfbluckt;
the word should be pronounced nig raichy.
Is it not a sood and proper name for the
party in power ? It is far more appropriate
than Republican, for these nigrarchisie are
in no respectable sense 'republicans there
is still ctiOlher name, which is uered by Aris

lo work on tbe Sabbath if they had consci

had, since his connection with the road
been discharged for declining to work on the
Sabbath. Mr. Welles replied that his state

he thought he had a right to consider relia

representation of the middle, Western and
Southern States, generally, by courting out
the large non voting foreign population and
ne2roes ; and, al the same tune, not to
prejudice the representation of New Eng
land where few foreigners resida and where

commenced a very respectable woman, and
mother ol several children, left her hoose.
with the youngest child in her arms, to go
to a neighbor's adjoining. Nothing more
was thought of it until bed-time, when, r.ot
returning, her husband sent to the place lor
her, and not finding her there, the remain
ing families in the vicinity were enquired
of but she could not be found.
The alarm was given and immediate
search in every direction was made by the
neighbors. The storm in the meantime bad
become violent and now was falling- very
fast.
The search was continued during the
whole night, and the nest morning a much
larger number of persons continued the
search until Friday morning, when she and
her child s lifeless remains were found im
bedded in the soow, within three or lour
hundred yards of the house. Esquire Mc-
Hugh of Foster hefd ati inquest irpon the
body, and from the evidence elicited, the
inquest brought in the verdict "That she
was laboring under ia aberration of mind,
and in consequence was frozen to death."
The unfortunate and distressing character
of the case, has thrown the whole neighbor
hood in gloom and sorrow" lor the bereaved
husband and motherless children, the more
so as she was a woman much respected
and highly esteemed by all who knew her.

maikably dpprojxiaie. John Brown's sonl
is marching on. It with these men in
Menling horses, and it is running through the
whole land. Immorality, murders, robber
ies, larcenies, delali-ations. attempted insur
rections of negroes, and Crimes of all de
scriptions unite in proving that ' Joh:i
Brown's soul is marching on." Congress
in the Negro Suffrage act, as aUo in other
acts, declares it :s true. And JVDGli

this district says so, in voting for that act.
Ye, 'tis true, but the lime will soon come,
when that accursed soul will be sent back
to its eternal abode, and when evil creatures
who have been possessed of John Brown
alias the Devil will have been left upon
the earth condemned, despised and avoided
by humanity, or will have been taken into

1 il stands at the head of all lite tonic and

celebrity has evoked many imitation Lut

oslt safe TiMt't.AT thai ha ever been
introduced inio the sick cl amber. In the
Hospital of the Army and Navy, the sur-
geons find it the very best tonic lor convalescents-,
and report it as invaluable for
sustaining the vigor of troCps on the march,
as a remedy lor scurvy and all scorbutic
affection, and ai the oniy specific for fea-f-ick
ite?. California and Australia have
emphatically indorsed it as ihe Miner's
MkDicimc pit fxallence, and in Spanish
America and all ihe tropi Cal clima'e, it is
considered the tniy reliable antidote to ep
idemic lever.
There is no mystery about the causes of
its success. It is the only stomachic and

The Bitters have this dislincllve quality,
which is not shared, it is believed, by auy
tonic, tint-lure or extract in the world;
they do not excite Ihe pulse, though they

It is alo proper lo stale that the Bilters
are sold exclusively under glass, and nev

guard the public has against them is 10 see
that the Bnters they bny bear the engra
