"Some people call it 'Ku-KIux.' I, 'wild

honest Detroerat. He admits the existence
of the Ku-Klux ond endorses their lawless

Northern Democratic dough-faced friends.
THE Louisvilie Courier-Journal makes
the following cheerful declaration ; "Never
was a political organization exposed to Fuch
disadvantages as the Democratic party has
to encounter upon the threshold of the ap
proaching national campaign." The editor
knows.
T,"IE Republicans of Clearfk-ld county
will bear in mind that they are requested to
assemble in Coutity Convention, on Thurs

purpose of nominating a county ticket. A
full attendance is urgently re lucstcd. Come

TlIE Democratic pres-s hesitates to wel
come Alexander II. Stephens into the walks
of journaliui. Secretly they admire lihn,
but his recently expressed rebel-Democratic
sentiments in opposition to the "new de
parture"' fraud is a rather bitter pill at this
juncture, and hence their hesitancy.
The wonderful political progress being
made in Kentucky is evidenced by the fact
that our contemporaries Republicans and
Democrats alike are actually discussing
the probability f a Republican Governor
being elected this fail. Everything looks
favorable for a Republican success; and if
the 75,000 Democratic majority is not en
tirely overcome, it will be at least greatly
reduced.
The Louisville Lvhjcr a straight Dem
ocratic paper sys that the new departure
of the 1 emocratic party is an unconditional
surrender to the Republicans. That puts it
about as plainly as the facts warrant, for it
is ccitainly a pretended adoption of the fun
damental doctrines of the most radical abo
litionists and Republican-!.
Oh. where, tell mo where.

A hand of Ku Klux entered the town of
Rutherfor Iton, Rutherford county, North
Carolina, the other night, beat and mal
treated a member of the Legislature, theu
destroyed the office of a Republican rews
paper, and threatened the lives of two Re
publican editors. The Democratic papers
of that State admit the occurrences, but de
ny that they grew out of politics. We p it
the facts alongside of their assertions.
History affords instances of the immense
calibre, of snakes fetich as the Boa-Con-
stnetor swallowing, at one gulp, a man, a
lion, or a ti.'er, etc, but we challenge his
tory to furni.-h a parallel in that line with
the political snake called the "copperhead."
It ha swallowed in at one breath, at leat
two Northern States, three odious amend
ments to the constitution, and a ten years'
record so foul with villainies as to turn the
stomach of a vulture,
that snake is.
Immense swal'.owcr!
The legislature is the grand oljcctive
point of the Democracy of Pennsylvania,
in the et suing campaign. Kvcry effoit will
b; made to elect a majority of the members
in the lower house, and thus secure the se
lection of the next United States Senator
a year hence, and control legislation for par
tisan purposes. The selection of first-class
men as candidates, and a vigorous an 1
vigilant campaign on the part of the Re
publicans, will frustrate ail their plans.
Let our friends throughout the State re
member this and govern themselves ac
cordingly. The 7V says : "The essential differ
ence between the Republican asd Demo
cratic parties is revealed tu the reception of
Yallandighatu's death. So far as onr ob
servation goes, we have as yet to see a Re
publican journal that speaks unkindly of the
dead man. Nothing bat adinirathn tor
his talents, pity for his untimely end, and j
regret that lie could not live to reach the
goal of his auibition. How different this
from the treatment by the Democratic press
of Lincoln, Stevens, Stanton, Thoni'is, and
others of the patriot dead of the Union
men, who had never faltered in their devo
tion to the cause of their country ! It is
the fashion among the Democratic press to
revile these men to apply to them the
most brutal epithets, and to tarnish their
memories by the revival of the worst fclan
ders. Robert K. Lee received more consid
eration from the Republican pnss than did
Kdwin Ji. Sianton from the Democratic."
The Tariff -The Two Conventions.
It will be enough for the Democracy to
convince the colored voters that they admit
their right to vote during the present cam
paign, anJ we are strongly of the opinion
that it will ;rove too uiti;h fur the New De
parturists. Rut, says the Telegraph, not
withstanding the troubles with which the
Copperheads are surrounded, we are forced
to add to their complicated difficulties.
There is one point touched in both the
Democratic and the Republican platforms
which is of signal importance to the voters,
white and black, of I'emisylvaiiia, upon
which nothing has as yet been written. Rut
its overshadowing importance demands its
exhaustive discussion. We place in paral
lel columns the Tariff resolutions of the
Republican convention and the resolution
assailing the'f tri!f passed by the Democrat
ic convention, and ask the attention of our
people to the contrast :

DEMOCRATIC
12 '-That the present
tariff is, in many of its
Jilltlirts. OPPRESSIVE,
AND BHOI;i.l RE REVISED,
and that we herewith
request eur Hepresenta
ti-es in Congress, when
the tariff shall be the
subject of readjustment,
to ee that the immense
products of the Stat
and its industries are
properly cared for !"
jjet at y candid man examine these two
declarations, these embodiments of political
beliefs, and then give judgment on the rela
tive honesty and the statesmanship of the
two parties. The Republicans, recognizing
the necessities of the Government for rev
enue wherewith to pay the interest on, and
gradually reduce the national debt, say plain
ly that they are in favor of such measures
as shall bring into the treasury the necessa
ry moneys to sustain the credit of the na
tion. 1 hey go further. They say that these
moneys should be raised by Protective du
ties, in conformity with the well tested the
ory of the fathers; and that while we are
raiding money to defray the expenses and
obliterate the obligations of the country, we
shall, the same lime. protect the'labor of the
United States from ruinous competition from
the labor of the whole world. They are for
holding on to the present protective tariff
as the best to be had now and clearly indi
cate their desire to increase the duties
against foreign labor if we can.
On the other hand the Democrats declare
the present tariff ''oppressive," and demand
its revision. It is well known to every man
who knows anything ol the subject, that the
present tariff, which the Copperheads want
' revised," is the very best attainable for
the interest of our State in the present
condition of the public mind concerning the
policy of a Protective Tariff. They know
that Pennsylvania statesmen only saved
what we have by strenuous exertions and
by constant vigilance. They know that the
zeal with which this imperfect protection to
our products and iudutries was so Faved
made our representatives so prominent in
in their pertinacity that it bacame a slur
upon them and the people of the State that
we were clamorous for our own interests, to
the exclusion of the best interests of the
people of other States. Every man in the
Democratic convention who voted for the
resolution kuew that any effort now to force
an increase of protection to iron and coal
would only react against the present duties
we now enjoy. And yet they, knowing this,
and for the very purpose of breaking down
still further our protection on iron and coal,
coolly rerjucst our members of Congress to
further endanger what wc have by demand
ing what hits already been refused in anger.
Jesuitry can go no farther! With an at
tempt to hoodwink the people of Pennsyl
vania, and induce them to Inlievc that the
Democratic party is in favor of a protective
tariff, these double-tongued deceivers urge
a policy which must, ami is intended to,
bring the tariff into disrepute and overthrow
it. Ret ween the manly support of a tariff
on one hand and the assassin's stab on the
other the people must choose.
A "MEEK" Pie. The Democratic Watch
man, whose vigils have been unceasing and
whose light has shone from Centre all aronnd
the State (a rather mixed metaphor), a lit
tle while ago did declare :
We. never can accept the. fifteenth ainentlment,
ami ire say that it should ami o f right might to be
rta-alal. And we hold that it will be the duty of
the Democracy to repeal it whenever they et the
pviver to Jo so. If we thought tbey would not do
so at tLe proper time, our faith in the integrity
and purity of our party would be greatly shaken.
It now Meekly eats humble pie and obeys
dictation from Mr. AVallace as follows:
Democrat.-, mny differ as lou.-h aJ they please in
regard to the fcinih resolution, but our opponents
must not flatter thimseiveg that there is to be any
inharmonious action in the Deuioeratio party
in eontequenco. tt e believe that thn Democratic
editrs may properly discuss that resolution with
out any interruption of the harmonious relations
of the party. For our part, we don't endorse it;
we don I believe in it ; nor do believe there
was any sense in passing it. At the same time,
we intend that oar advocacy of our principles and
our candidates shall not bo the less vi"irim or
ardent because or it. We shall let it go, believing
it a imetuko that may bo remedied at another
tin. e.

There is n prospect of renewed trouble at

she is determined to cultivate friendly rela

to remove al! possible causes of collision,
and that she is gradually making prepara
tions to let her American colonies take care
of their own future, instead of encouraging
them to cling to her skirts for safety, as they
have hitherto been in the habit of doing.
Her sense of the imminence of the danger
which the treaty averted seems to grow upon

The Chicago Post is an "amusing cuss'
ot a paper. Hear it : Hie Democracy are
very much in the position of the cannibal,
Ami Bobiuson, of whom Barn um made
mention in his book on humbugs. After a
long debauch, he waked up one day in great
wonderment as to his exact localicy, and
inquired of the bystanders, 'Ami am I, -or
am InotAuii?' That is the question. Are
they themselves, or some other party ? In
Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania, where the
new departure has been recognized by con
ventions, full a third of the voters are rub
bing their eyes in utter UewiloWniiicnt. I:
it the old Democratic camp, or have they
eoneestray? After twelve continuous years
of denunciation, it is quite the thing to own
up point blank, and indorse the opposite
side? The Chinese puzzle is nothing com
pared with such a dclimma. If they hold
on to the old party post they will freeze, and
if they let go they are sure to fall into the
ditch. Most of them agree to eat the new
party owl, but it is perfectly apparent they
do not hanker after it.
Judge Stro.no has decided that the in
come tax is Constitutional. His opinion,
which was delivered in the United States
Circuit Court, Philadelphia, Friday morn
ing, is brief and direct. lie says:
"If it be true, as has been argued, that
the income tax is a 'capitation or otoer dt
reef tax, within the meaning ot the Con
stitution, it is undoubtedly prohibited by
the first and ninth sections of the tirst arti
cle, for it is not 'apportioned among the
States.' But I am not of opinion that it is
a Vapitntion or otherdirect tax' in the sense
in which the fratners of the Constitution,
and the people of the States who adopted
it, understood such taxes. The reasous for
my opinion it would answer no good purpose
for me to state at length, inasmuch as these
eases will doubtless go to the Supreme Court
for ultimate decision. It is sufficient for
me now to state that in my judgment Con
gress has a constitutional right to impose all
the taxes of which the plaintiffs complain,
and that none of them are such as must nec
essarily be apportioned. With the policy
ot such an imposition I have, as a judge,
nothing to do. "
The famine in Persia must be truly terri
ble. Men, women and children are dying
by the tens of thousands from starvation,
and to such great extremities for food are
the poor people driven that they are actu
ally consuming each other, and even robbing
graves of their ghastly contents to sustain
life. The charitable world should make all
haste to relieve their wants, and contribu
tions of food should flow in from all quar
ters of the globe. The famine arises from
the very general failure of the crops through
the long continued drouth of last year.
General Sherman, who has returned
