Sharswood and Calhoun.
We have been looking over that interes
ting volume called "The Exaininer and
Journal of Political Economy, Devoted to
the Adcancment of llie Came of State Rights
and Free Trade."
This, it will be remembered, says the
Press, is the book from which the Union
TtpmiMiran State Committee retvmtlv enn-
ied Bundry proceedings of a State-rights
meeting, including part of George Shars
wood's oration and some of the toasts given
on the occasion. This meeting was held in
the Commissioners Hall, in the Northern
Liberties, Philadelphia, the next year after
the attempted nullification by South Caroli
na. " Andrew Jackson was then President,
ing, as the following toasts drank on the oc
casion will show:
"The Executive and his servile retainers
touch but a bristle of the royal prerogative,
and the whole stye is in an uproar. Let
them learn by the signs of the times that
the people know their rights, and knowing
will detend them. ...
This was an emphatic blow at Old Hick
ory and his friends, but not more so than
the ninth regular toast i on the occasion,
which was as follows : ..'...
"The Proclamation it bears no semblance
to the Creed of Jefferson."
. This referred to the celebrated proclama
tion of President Jackson, in which he warn
ed the nullifiers to desist from their treason
able practices, to abandon their State-rights
heresies, and to submit to the laws of the
United States. . -
George Sharswood figured largely at this
meeting. As "the orator of the day," he
delivered a lengthy eulogy on the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions of 1798 and 1799.
lie was one of the vice presidents of the
meeting, and he was also one of the commit
tee on invited guests. In this latter capaci
ty ho invited John C. Calhoun to be pres
nt on the occasion. This distinguished
free trader and nullifier could not attend,
but sent a letter of regret, enclosing a senti
ment glorifying "the Virginia and Ken
tucky resolutions as the rock of our political
salvations." ' , "
The Tennessee Election. Full returns
6hows that the Republicans have not only
.elected all their eight members of Congress,
but every State Senator and Representative
in the Legislature but three, while Governor
Brownlow's majority is nearly or quite 50,
000. The Republicans not only had a major
ity of some 35,000 of the colored vote, but
they had not less than 15,000 rcajority of
the white vote. ' In East Tennessee, which
was loyal to the Union all through the war,
and where there . is a comparatively small
colored population, the vote was well nigh
unanimous for the Republicans. For in
stance, in Cumberland county, . the Knox
ville Whig states that there were but five
colored votes altogether, yet the vote stood,
for Brownlow 250, for Ethridge (Democrat
ic), 4 : and it is substantially the same in all
that loyal region of the State. The Whig
exultingly remarks that never was a party
so overwhelmingly defeated as the Conser
vatives since the formation of parties at the
crossing of the Red Sea !
Forest County. The Republicans of
Forest county have nominated the following
ing ticket: For Assembly (subject to decis
ion of conferees,) F. E. Allison; Associate
Judge, John A. Dale ; Commissioner, Wm
Fleming; District Attorney, W. E. Lathy;
Auditor, H. H. Stowe; Coroner, Dr. W.
F. Hunter. -

The Danger of the Hour.
Repudiation is the coming danger of the
hour. Right and left the Democracy . are
showing their hand. Under the pretence of
immediate payment by a flood of greenbacks
or of taxation by inimical State Govern
ments, they are all over the country laying
violent hands on the credit of the nation and
sapping its foundations. The most direct
manner in which repudiation can now be ef
fected is through the courts by a series of
hostile decisions against the national cur
rency and securities. Nothing can be done
through Congress and the" State Legisla
tures as long as they are controlled by large
Union majorities. But to the courts we
must look. They must be guarded with
watchful fidelity. The best eafeguard is to
fill them with lawyers who honestly and
conscientiously believe that our Government
currency is 'constitutional. A lawyer who
honestly and conscientiously believes our
notes or bonds, or any of them, to be uneon
stifntinnal. is at least a ouestionable candi
date at such a crisis. Credit is a flower of
too tender bloom to be tampered with. V e
can afford to run no risks in this matter,and
we cannot too easily take alarm.
Opinion of Gen. Pope. The letter of
General Pope to General Grant, describing
the progress of reconstruction in Georgia,
Alabama, and Florida, says: I he party
which is in accord with the Northern Dem
ocracy "are bitterly opposed to reconstruc
tion under the acts ot Congress : opposed
in fact to any reconstruction whatever ex-
"cent such as would leave them in precise-
" ly tJie same political condition as f there
luxd been no rebellion and no war.
Their only reliance for this restoration is a
revulsion in Northern sentiment, and to the
efforts of their allies in the loyal States they
look for a return of the period when they
can rule the nation they struggled so despe
rately to rum, when they can command the
armies they strove in vain to conquer, when
they can control the great national interests
they endeavored to destroy, and guide the
destin3 of the Republic which withstood
their vindictive assaults.
The Baltimore American says: The ans
nouncement that the committee has discov
ered something which implicates the Rebel-
of Maryland in the assassination conspiracy,
ha? produced quite a sensation in this com
munity, and those who sympathized with
treason already wriggle and squirm. But for
our part the news only proclaims that there
13 tantnble Drool ot what we always believed.
Ever since we read the evidence taken in
the trial of the assassins we have thought
that there were lanre numbers of men in thi?
State who have a share in Booth's evil spec
ulation. -
-A Republican Congressional committee is
now sitting to investigate the horrors of An
dersonville, Libby, Belle Isle, Millen, and
the other rebel prison pens, and to prove
and publish to the world the habitual viola
tion of the laws of nations practiced by the
rebel government. At the same time the
Democratic papers of Pennsylvania are la
boring to show that these murder pens were
rather pleasant kind of places ; that no one
had any right to die in them, and that all
that is alleged of the death and starvation
in them is mere Radical lying. -
Arthur Wellesley conquered the most for
midable enemy that ureat Britain ever cn.
countered, and a grateful Government made
him a duke, gave him a splendid fortune,
and covered him with honors all the rest of
his life. Phil. Sheridan beat the most dan
gerous enemy of the American Republic,
and his Government disgraces him in the
hour of his triumph, andstrikes off the lau
rels in the first blush of victory. Shall re
publics always be ungrateful 1 .
One Capt. McNelty has just been made
to pay the penalty of his too close discrimi
nation in the character of first class passen
gers he carried on his vessel. He refused
Miss Eannie Rollin a first class passage from
Beauforfto Charleston because she was un
fortunate enough to be black. A court
martial found him guilty of an offense and
fined him $250 for his bad example, a sen
tence confirmed by Gen. Sickles. -

When Gov. Curtin had served the first six
months of his term, the Copperheads pro
fessed to be very indignant at reports man
ufactured by themselves that, that he was
drunk half his time. Before Gov. Geary
has been a year in office, the same men com
plain that he is too temperate, and gives
too much countenance to the temperance
cause. How are the Copperheads to be
suited in men?
The other da', as a bank messenger was
passing through Pine street. New York,
with a bner nf r-nin nnnn his nliniil(1r snmn
scamp cut the bag open behind, letting the
gold fall in profusion to the pavement. The
immediate cause of the disaster then en
deavored to escape, while doubtless, his con
federates were ready to join in the scramble
for the money, but he was captured and
locked up.
m Copperhead county nominating conven
tions, as usual in their strongholds through
out Pennsylvania, are repudiating the sol
dier ; and what is singular, the same bodies
refuse to recognize or praise Andrew John
son. They only want to use him, not praise
him, for mercenary purposes.
The Gettysburg Sentinel says: "The De
mocratic State Committee think Judge
Sharswood ought to be elected because he is
a Pennsylvanian by birth. We think he
ought to be beaten, because he is a South
Carolinaian in his opinions."
The Jerseyville (111.) Democrat in crowing
over the suspension of Stanton, comes very.
near the truth when it says that the coun
try would be better off if Johnson with his
entire Cabinet leaving out Stanton were
suspended by the neck."
A fello w by the name of Gahegan has been

V Sharswood vs. Jackson.'
In his famous proclamation against the
South Carolina Nullifiers in December, 1832,
General J ackson said :
"I consider, then, the power to annul a
law of the United States, assumed by one
State, incompatible with the existence of
the Union, contradicted expressly by the
letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by
its spirit, inconsistent with every principle
on which it was founded, and destructive of
the great object for which it was formed."
This was in 1832. Many yet living re
member how the country rocked with ex
citement and trembled with alarm at the
audacious pretensions and ' the treasonable
measures of John C. Calhoun and his fol
lowers ; and they remember how all parties
exulted when Jackson crushed that incipient
treason under his heel. Democrats and
Whigs clasped hands and united their voices
in support of the brave old man and his
proclamtion.
But there was, even in Pennsylvania, a
small band of politicians who drew their
inspiration, not from Jefferson or Jackson,
but from John C. Calhoun, and of this small
band was Judge Sharswood, now a candidate
tor the Supreme Judgship. After nullifi
cation was crushed he remained the same,
and in an oration delivered in April, 1834,
he re-affirmed the cardinal doctrine of nul
lification, secession and rebellion in the fol
lowing emphatic terms :
"We come back to our starting place, and
hading nothing in the Constitution estab
lishing any final judge of tho enumerated
powers, prohibitions, and reserved rights,
it must rest upon the admitted principles of
general law, in cases of compact between
parties having no common superior. Each
State has the right to judge for itself of the
compact, and to choose for itself the most
proper and erhcient remedies.
Is it safe at a time like this to entrust su
preme judicial powers to a man who enter
tains such opinions as these? ( We grant
that he may hold them honestly and sincere
ly ; but the more honestly and sineerely
they are entertained the more dangerous
they are. Jackson was honest and sincere
in his opposition to such views, and his
honesty, more than anything else, gave him
power to put those down who attempted in
1832 to carry them into practice ; and had
Jackson been where Buchanan was in I860
we should have had no rebellion.
Grant on Stanton. The journals which,
in refering to the recent change in the War
Department, in one breath laud General
Grant and in the next denounce Edwin M.
Stanton, should remember that in the letter
in which the former announced to the latter
his acceptance of the position occured . the
following paragraph:
In notifying you of my acceptance, 1 can
not let the opportunity pass without ex
pressing to vou my appreciation of the zeal.
imtriotism,firmness, and abilitu icith which
you have discharged the duties of Secretary
of War.
This testimony from the leader of the
national armies ontweigh3 a thousand cal
umnies ot rebel organs.
More Removals. By late advices from
Washington, we learn that Gen. Sickles has
been removed from the Carolina districts,
and " Gen. Canby appointed in his place.
Gen. Hancock has been ordered to the Fifth
district, and Gen. Sheridan to Kansas. The
correspondence between Gen. Grant and
the President, relating to the removal of
Gen. Sheridan has been published, in which
Grant strongly protests against the change,
We will give the correspondence next week.
A Figut Wmi Indians. Capt. Ames,
with 125 men, had a severe fight with 800
Indians, at their village on Republican river,
The fight lasted three hours, when Captain
Ames was compelled to retreat and leave
his dead in the hands of the enemy. Three
of Capt. Ames' men were killed, twenty
five wounded, and thirty horses were lost
The Indian loss was heavy. Reinforce
ments have been sent forward, and another
desperate battle is expected.
Cabinet Changes. Every member o
the Cabinet, except Stanbery, has intimated
his willingness to the President to resign
and will formally write out their resignations
if solicited. It is said the resignations o
Seward. Browning. Welles, and Randal
will be accepted by the "President, while he
will retain M'CulIoch and Stanbery in the
Cabinet.
There are again symptoms of an imminent
insurrection in various parts of Spain, and
the Government therefore has declared a
state of siege in every Province. The Des
potism of the . Queen has collected a vast
amount of explosive material, and it is not
probable that the explosion can be staved
off nuch longer.
The new submarine cable from Key West
to Havana, just laid a day or two, signalizes
its opening by the transmission of the news
from Mexico of the election of J uarez and
a Liberal Congress. The new cable, which
it is reported is working most satisfactorily,
is one hundred and ninety-one miles in
length. : .. . .
President Cabral, of Dominica, has sent
a messenger to Washington with instruc
tions to accept the offer ot the United States
for the purchase of the Bay of Samana, and
the adjoining peninsula, 43 miles long and
8 miles wide, in the Island of Hayti, for
five millions of dollars."
It is proposed to give General Sheridan a
warm welcome to Washington. He will
have it wherever he goes.
