INDIAN COEN.
Fur many a mile en every side
I see the golden corn.
And hear the cricket's rotes around .
Sound like a fairy horn.
Id concert with the wild be"i drone,
In elfin monuara.borne.
Long, long ago, as legends tell,
The Indian Fairy Queen
Unto the antient Delawares
Came down upon the green.
An siure robe around her head,
liar robes a vapory sheen. .
And where she sat tobacco soon
a bitter fragrance flung,
And where her left hand touched, the bean, -
Kose bowering fresh and young ;
And where her right hand swept, the maize,
IsgoMeB glory sprung.
Aml.whether you do eat it roast,
Or take it baked in pone,
Or like it best as Johnny cake,
Still let this truth be known,
That corn first name from tairy-land,
And was by fairies grown

SHAES WOOD OIT LEGAL TENDERS.
Extract from His Opinion in the Ga3e of
Borie vs. Trott.
"On the whole, then, I am of opinion
that the provision of the act of Congress of
February '2oth, 1862, declaring the notes is
sued in pursuance of that act to be lawful
money, and a legal tender, is unconstitu
tional." -
"This renders it unnecessary that I should
consider the other question which has been
made, as to the effect of the special agree
ment to pay in lawful silver money of the
United States. I am in favor of entering
judgment for the plaintiff, but as a majori
ty of the court are of a different opinion,
judgment for the defendant." Copied from
the Pniladelphia Age of February 23, 1S64,
where the opinion is published in full.
It may also be found in the Legal Intelli
"ncer of March 18, 1864, pagej)2.
In the same copy of the Age is a carefully
prepared eulogy of the Judge and this
opinion, in which is the following :
"Judge Sharswood reasons upon and de
cides the ca?e as if he were some lofty spir
it sitting far above and out of the conten
tions and strifes of the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Gevcrnment bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and etherial for such
earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme
Bench.
JUDGE SHARSWOOD IS SYMPATHY
WITH THE REBELS.
The Rebel Congress Prohibits th Circula
tion of Greenbacks ! '
From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. 25. 1S64
The following bill, to be entitled "An act
to prohibit dealing in the paper currency of
the enemy," has passed both Houses of
Congress. It originated in the IIou.ee of
Representatives, and was amended in the
Senate, by the insertion of the words itali
oW in the first section. The amendment
will, of course, be concurred in by the
House. The act will, doubtless, receive the
approval of the President, and the country
will then be relieved of the pernicious ef
fect of a traffic which it is surprising any
person professing to be identified with the
South should ever have engaged in :
1. 1 he Congress of the Confederate States
f America do enact That no broker, banker
yr dealer in exchange, or person concerned
in trade as & merchant, or vender of mer
chandise of any description, or any other
I erson, except tcithin the line of the, enemy,
(shall buy, sell, take, circulate, or in any
manner trade in any paper currency of the
I nited States : 1-ovtdal, That the purchase
of jostage stamps shall not be considered a
violation of this act.
. 2. That any person violating the provi
sions of this act shall be subject to indict
ment and prosecution in the Confederate
Court holden for the district within which
the offense was committed, and shall, upon
conviction, forfeit the amount so bought,
fold, circulated, or used, or a sum equal
thereto ; and shall be moreover subject to a
fine of not more than twenty thousand dol-
iars, nor less than five hundred, and be im
prisoned not less than three months, nor
Wore than three years, at the discretion of
he Court ; and it shall be the duty of the
judge of the several Confederate Courts to
give this act specially in charge to the
grandjury.

J udge Sharswood decided the circulation

platform with his Southern brethren. Vo

WHAT AH OPPOSITION EDITOR SAYS
Of Our 'Worthy' Candidate.
The loyal voters of the Commonwealth
afrk no higher tribute to the worth and char
acter of Judge Williams than the following
neat compliment paid him by the only daily
Democratic paper of Western Pennsylvania
the day following his nomination. It said :
The nomination of the Hon. Henry W.
Williams . as a candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court is a good one. He was the
best man named before the Republican con
vention, and possesses legal and moral qual
ifications for the responsible position to
which hf has been nominated. Both par
ties have now presented their candidates.
An important duty has been faithfully dis
charged by the respective conventions. The
campaign may now be conducted without
personal aspii-ations, and decided upon the
principles of the two great parties. This is
as it should be. It is an auspicious sign of
the times, and if the county conventions
are equally fortunate in tha selection of leg
islative candidates, there will be a stop put
to the deplorable corruption at the seat of
government under a new reign of honest
men and conscientious legislators. ltts
burgh Post, June 2$th, 18G7.
The Post, in referring to the above, on
the 29th of August was pleased to say :
"We have nothing to take back or mod-'
ify. Of Judge Williams' private or legal
reputation we have nothing but words of
praise, and however it may suit some pug
nacious and beady politicians, we cannot
bring ourselves to view personal assaults as
either wise or politic. ' '
The Post, no doubt, speaks the truth in
regard to the "legal and moral qualifica
tions" of Hon. Henry W. Williams, the
Republican candidate for Supreme Judge ;
and yet, in the face of this positive testi
mony of a candid opponent, the "pug
nacious" small fry'Copperhead papers per
sist in denouncing Mr. Williams as a "hig
gling, fanatical, curly-headed, sour-faced
adventurer," "with "no reputation." All
honest and well-meaning voters will view
these "personal assaults" on the "private"
reputation of a worthy man in their proper
light ; and, on the Second Tuesday of Oc
tober, thousands will vote for Hon. Henry
W. Williams, who, otherwise, would have
supported his opponent. Let the people
remember these facts, and go to the polls
with the assurance that Mr. Williams will
be elected by an overwhelming and trium
phant majority.
U. S. BONDS AKD GREENBACKS.
REPUDIATION THREATENED.
In 1S61 eleven States seceded ; and since
then only twenty-three have been represen
ted in Congress, until the admission of Ten
nessee in 1S6G.
All the United States ' Bonds 5-20's, 7
39's and 10-40's all the greenbacks, and all
the National Banks, were created by this
Congress of twenty-three States.
President Johnson calls this an "assumed
Congress" therefore not legal. His sup
porters and the Democrats call it a "rump
Congress," and a "usurping Congress," and
hence not a lawful Congress ; and the great
effort has been to elect Congressmen in the
North and admit enough, from the rebel
States to enforce this "Policy."
If a Congress representing but twenty
three States be not a lawful Congress, then
every United States Bond, and all our
greenbacks, and National Bank notes, are
worth nothing : because an unlawful Con
press could not make lawful Bonds or law
ful money.
The mad effort, so recently made by the
rebels and their sympathizers, to destroy
this Government by force of arms, failed.
Thus tar the attempt to do the same thing,
through Congress, has also failed, because
of the action of the loyal voters at the bal-lot-box
; and the last effort at destruction is
now being made through the Courts. Wit
ness the recent attempt by Democratic law
yers to induce -i.hc Supreme Court of the
United States to issue an injunction, nulli
fying the Reconstruction Laws of Congress
in Mississippi, Georgia, and other rebel
States. Read also the opinion of George
Sharswood, the Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia, in which he gravely denies the consti
tutional power ef Congress to make paper
money a legal tender. Borievs. Trott, Leg
al Jtelligencer of March 18th, 1864, page
92. ) Judge Woodward and Thompson of the
same Court, announced from the bench the
same alarming doctrine, in 1865. (See
Mervine vs Sailor et aL Legal Intelligencer
of June 16 & 301865, pages 188 & 205.)
And this, too, in the face of the fact, that
the Superior Courts of every loyal State in
which the question has been raised, have
sustained the power of Congress.
It requires, therefore, but little knowl
edge of either arithmetic or law to estimate
the imminent danger of putting any more
in en of Judge Sharswood' s opinions on the
Supreme Bench of the State!
If you believe the present Congress to be
unlawful or desire our National currency
and Government Bonds to be declared un
lawful, vote for George Sharswood.
If you believe the present Congress to be
lawful, or desire their action on Currency
tnd Bonds to stand good, vote to sustain
them for the party that created the Green
backs and the Bonds, the party that sus
tained the war, and compelled submission to
the National authority, and that stands
pledged to keep faith with the Bond-holders,
and to maintain the National credit vote
for Henry W. Williams, the worthy and
honored nominee of this party.
Sharswood and Calhoun. .
We have been looking over that interes
ting volume called "The Examiner and
Journal of Political Economy, Devoted to
the Adcancment of the Cause of State Rights
and free Trade."
This, it will be remembered, says the
Press, is the book from which the Union
Republican State Committee recently cop
ied sundry 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 ia
the Commissioners' Hall, in the Northern
Liberties, Philadelphia, the nest year after
the cttempted nullification by South Caroli
na. Andrew Jackson was then President,
and it was essentially an anti-Jackson meet
ing, as the followiug 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 defend theni."
This was an emphatic blow at Old Hick
ory and his friends, but not more so than
the ninth regular toast ou the occasion,
which was as follows :
"Tha Proclamation itbears 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 ot 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.
He 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 he invited John C. Calhoun to be pres
ent 0i) 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 rook of our political
salvations'
Sharswood vs. Jackson.
In his fatuous proclamation against the
South Carolina Nullifiers in December, 1S32,
General Jackson 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 jet 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 aud 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
for the Supreme Judgship. After nullifi
cation was crushed he remained the same,
and in an oration delivered in April, 1834,
be re-affirmed the cardinal doctrine of nul
lification, secession and rebellion in the fol
lowing emphatic teims :
"We come back to our starting place,and
finding 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 efficient 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 sincerely
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 1860
we should have had no rebellion.
