Ths Thugs The Stranglers of

Mr. VallaadiDgham, in a recent spsech

Thugs, only ihey have, in four years,
sacrificed more lives than their prototypes
did in thousands. The ancient Thug
held strangling his victim as a religious
'principle, and that same principle' gv-j
ems the modern Thug. They would
strangle all the constitutional rights of:
the citizen. . During the existenc of ourj
civil war they ctracglcd tbe rights of !
free speccb, of a free press, of free thought !
and of personal liberiy;and cow tba war
is ended, they are eflgaged in strangling
t!ie sovereignty of eleven States of this
Union,' and the rights of millions of free
white citizens in those States. The an

part of bis creed, that the ties of friend
ship, of country and of race, must give i
way before tbe claims of tbe over-mas-1

upon the highway as' a murderer and

Legislature reassembled, after an adjourn
ment of -some ten days, on Tuesday, the
27;b ultn at 10 o'clock, A. M. The special
order of the day iu the House was the.con
sideralioo of one hunditd and Jarty-six pri
vate bills, and the entire morning session
was occupied in the first reading of these
bills. . .The private, calendar, was continued
on Wednesday, and finished on Thursday
morning, after which the' general orders
wer taken up.
' Ia the Senate, on Tuesday, not much was
done, except the reading of bills in place.
Quite a number of ' Petitions, numerously
sigued, were presented for and against the
running of street cars, on Sunday, in the
city of Philadelphia.' 'This question is cre
ating considerable excitement among the
people of that city. '
' Among the bills presented in the Senate
were the following : A bill authorizing the
improvement of the upper pan of tbe Sus
quehanna. "' '
One reviving the old Military organiza
tions in the S ate, which had a continoous
organization for twenty years previous to
the passage of the act which virtually dis
banded them.
' In the 8i.me branch the House bill, giv
ing the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
Company the right to build branchescame
upon third reading, and a lengthy debate
ensued. Senators Hall, Landon and others,
spoke in favor of, and Lowry, Bigham and
others against tbe bill.
The fish bill came op among the ob
jected bills on Wednesday afternoon last
and was put opon its final passage. There
were but twenty six votes against the bill
The principal opposition came frm the
Slack Water Navisation Company. It wiil
i pass the Senate and become a law. The
: only objectionable fea are in the bill is the
! paying cf moneys out of the State Treasu
j ury to some person who shall be appointed
Commissioner to see that' the sluices are
erected and the law carried out.
.. Tfce infamous Railroad bill, which was
rnshad through both branches, a few days
ago, without 'scarcely any consideration,
givmg ihe Philadelphia acd Erie Railroad
Company the privilege ol builJiog branc ies
ia ' any county through which their ' road
now runs, or adj ining counties, was veto
ed by the Governor on Friday last. Many
Members voted for its title, not knowing
what was in the B.ll. as it had net been
printed, aad the title not seating forth
clearly the meaning of the Bill.
" On Friday last the bill relative to the
schooling of soIJiers' orphans received ihe
attention of the House nearly ihe whole
forenoon. Th's bill changes the present
system of educating these orphans. It
provides for their being educated in their
own localities. I a?n told that the Senate
wiil not pass this bill, but are s.roi'gry in

just entered, allow a plain Farmer land
old Democrat, tbe use of your columns,
as time may permit, to off -r a few reflec
tions upon that subject for tbe csnsidera
tion of politicians of all parties.
Hon. Hiester C'ltmer, has been
nominated by the Democratic Slate Con
vention. He is eminently qualiSe'd by
character, education and statesmanship,
for the faithful performance of all the
duties pertainin? to the responsible ofUce
of Governor. His bitterest political op
ponents, accord to Mr. Clymer purity
of character, able statesmanship,- and
great persoual popularity Hit clcciion
would bring back to the people their
Constitutional privileges and rights as
they were exercised during the Admicis
trationa of such patriots as ' Simon Sny
der, (ieorgc Wolf, Francis 11. Shunk,
David . Porter, and William Cigler.
Geo. John ". Geijr, has also been
nominated by the Abolition State Con
vention. He is unknown in political cir
cles, and beyond the fact that he was in
the late Negro IVar and is a rtmgadt
Democrat is without record in Pennsyl
vania. It was just such a man' as Mr.
Geary, tbat rhe . negro-suffrage - party
wanted for thtir candidate for Governor.
Forney, the ,iDead DtcA," printed in
his Prss. a fewdava before the meeting
of the Abolition Convention, "that ''Mr.
Geary, would stand upon any p'.atfoim
tbey might make.' They bave him now
