Wh.0 are the real Friends Of the Negro? . Upon this question we believe there is a great deal of quackery and hypocrisy among the blatant Radical both in and out of Con gress. The chief theme of tbe Disunion journals throughout the land is tbe abuse of every one who will not adrr.it that the ne firo is in no respect inferior to the white man. For rears they have been engaged in this work, but they have never yet pro duced a single facr,nor a sensible argument to sustain their theory, and yet they de mand that they shall be called the special friends of the negro race becanse they talk a great deal to convince the people that white and black are precisely alike. They denounce the President because he will not shut his eyes and say "amen" to every silly thing (hey utter. They stig matize every individual ns a "copper head," "rebel" or "traitor," who take ex ceptions to their abominable theories. Now we know that this cheap philanthropy, this agitation for the political equality of ihe negro, is a piece ol hollow hypocrisy. So far as onr knowledge extends, we can say that those who raake tbe most ado about the welfare of the poor negro, really care nothing for him, only so far as be serves as a hobby to enable then: to retain the posi tions they occupy. Doesot every intelli gent man know that there is not a single Abolitionist in this county willing to admit negro into hia family on terms of social equality? And to this we challenge con tradiction. Now we earnestly ask a'l friends of humanity whether cr not it is doing :he African race 'any good to ignore facts, to hunt out excuses for a condition ol life which is plainly the result of the infe rior intellect of the "poor African.' The negro is by nature indolent; and will the assertion that the negro is intellectually the equal of the white man, do the former any good 1 Will it elevate him in the social or intellectual scale? Will it assist him in his present condition ? 1 it' benevolent to this helpless and improvident race ? Let us eS.

In Pennsylvania, for in stance, they have been free for tbe greater part of a centory.generation after generation has grown up in freedom, and under the especial care of oor influential citizens. In no way have they been unfavorably situated before the la;v. Bufwnat is their condition, morally, so cially and intellectually ? Are tbey engag ed in employments requiring superior in--lelligence? Does their style of living indi cate late or refinement ? Are their morals improved 7 Have they learned anything from our civilization, except its vices ? Are they enjoying more comfort, and is vagran cy and pauperism less known among them than it was when they were careJ for by masters? We answer, no! And anyone who will examioe the statistics of those parts of the State in which most of them dwell, can readily, and wtll most assuredly i corroborate onr statement. f Time wiil show that tbe worst enemies of the "poor Negro" are those who have taught him to demand perfect eqaa".;ty wuh those upon whom he depends lor employ ment and protection. The New Paper. , At last the mystery, which has enveloped the three words beading this paragraph, is lowly desolving and we are enabled to learn something of the purposes of the en terprise, ' It is well known to all oar readers that a furious fight bas been raging among the leading Republicans ot this town and coun ty, and that the editor of the Republican is the Generalissimo of one of the factions. It is also known that he bas been vindic tively abusive of his old party friends, striv ing by every possible means to degrade them in the opinions of (he masses of their party and exalt himselt. The result is that the faction opposed to the editor of the Ri' publican are about starting an organ of their own, to be styled the Columfn'an with Capt. Mco&E, late of the Washington Chronicle office , as editor. We learn that their first edition will ap pear on the lO'.h of April, or that after that date we shall have three newspapers in Bloomsburg, two Republican and one Dem ocratic. .'.. .

The Late Elections. v At do lims in ill cor political experience bare tbe Spring Elections resulted'so de cided! in favor of the Democracy. Districts that hava heretofore given decided Repub lican cisjorities are now put down as bavin gooe Democratic j and in all the counties heard from, oor vote has been largely in creased. Thia is a strong indication how the State will go in the coming gubernatorial j c0Dt9Sl ' h 19 lhe expressed sentiment of the great masses, brought oat by their own no nest convictions. The people are be ginning to see the great error they have too often committed in supporting Republicans lor office, men who have carried out Aboli tionism and exerried tyrranny over the tyrranny over people to its farthest extent, men who plunged us into an unnatural war, burdened the people with taxation, and are to-day, save tbe President, using their ntmost pow er to plunge the whole country into otter ruin. All of which is the result of elevat ing the present dominant party to the po sition they hold. In the eyes ol mauy, our country is irretrievably lost. It is plainly to be seen that the people are again returning to common sense and reason; that they are regretting the heavy loss of blood and treasure, through the mis rule and reckless management of the Abo lition party, and now are, though late the hour, endeavoring to bring the unsettled difficulties between the North and Sooth to a, peaceful and final adjustment, by the complete overthrow of the Abolition party. By placing the reins of State and Nation into the hands of the Democracy, under the rule ol which this country prospered sec ond to no oiher, the Union would soon be restored io its once prosperous condition and former greatness. The Fall election? will have much to do with restoring the Union. The new Congress may stand po- Llitically in favor of the Constitution and the Union, then Stevens &: Co. would be obliged to abandon their present ruinous policy. This is the sincere hope and be lief of ihe Democratic tarty in-day. A change is working it is bound to come thej have prepared medicine for us that will be forced down their own throat, and it will work mt its core in favor of the country and Democracy. Oar party is in the ascendancy the bright day is appear ing from noder the black, heavy cloud that has been hanging over the land, for the past foor years. Peace and prosperity will again be established over the whole coun try at tbe hands of the Democracy, and that at no distant day. Support the "Government." We observe by the Culumbi i County Re- ' publican, that oor very loyal postmaster is a member of the Abolition executive com mittee. We observe also, that the Aboli tion Slate Convention sustains tbe Con gress, and refused to pass a resolution sus taining the President. We observe also, that the same Convention asked Senator Cowan to resign ; and it is well known that he is the only Pennsylvanian in Congress, belonging to the lite RepuMican party, who supports President Johnson. And finally we observe also, that the only resolution offered, sustaining.the President, was forced to be withdrawn, and the mover of it was taunted by being told that he arrived two days too la'.e that a resolotioo of that kind was in it proper-place, in the late Democratic Convention, but not in a Re publican one.- Now then, does the postmaster intend to resign his place on the committee; or his office of Postmaster doe he intend to support Congress, or the "Government V "He who is not for the Government is against it," tide Columlix County Republican back a year or tvo. The kind of a Democrat Geary is The Express, speaking of the letter writ- ten br Gn- Geary in which 1)9 aJQunces himself as "a life long Democrat," attempts to break the force of that utterance by showing what kind of a Deraccrat this re doutable General is. It says : General Geary is a Democrat in the sense defined by Webster "One who adheres to a government by the people, or favors the extension cj the tight of suffrage to all daises of men." We cannot help admiring the boldness with which ocr opponents meet tbe issues in the present campaign. They not only agree upon that part ol the platform which commits their party to the support of the ! .1 r : radical revolutionists in Congress, as against the policy of President Johnson, but they j accept all the consequences of the pos'uion they have thus boldly taken. Knowing they can no longer dodge ihe question ot negro suffrage they have concluded io meet it squarely.

Soniflhing New. We call attention to the advertisement of the Dnplex Elliptic or double Spring Skirt. Though a recent invention, it bas become very popular, and is rapidly obtaining the preference over other kinds in use. The odd in it are composed each of two delicate and well tempered steel springs, which are ingeniously .raided together edge to edge, the lower rods heavier, and having a dou ble covering. Tbi peculiarity of construc tion makes this skirt ver strong and dora- bIe and aIsQ M exceed-mSF flexible that it - . ..j -r...- rapidly adapts itself to tbe form . of the wearer and allows of any amount of doub ling and crushing without injury to its shape. These skirts ara unquestionably the lightest, most desirable, conjfottabla and economical ever made These are j advantages which ladies I.. . . 1 , tits U1IO CJL 1.

A joint resolotioo bas passed both branch es the Legislature fixing Thursday, tha V I20i of April toi fiaal ajoninraent. ,. 11 on tan and Colorado Gold Mijjisu" Co. This company has been chartered by the State Legislature of Pennsylvania. They own one thousand feel on on the Barker lode. Thia Barker lode is lbs discovery claim and the most valuable in the Terri tory. They also own two hundred feet on the Bureau county lode, which is a very de sirable property and will be profitable. The manager, Woo. Blue, Esq., spent last season in this Tertitory, improving the property. The necessary improvements are already made lor the working of sev eral lodes. Tbe Company will declare dividends on July next, at not less than from four to five per cent. quarterly, in coin, or otherwise it ordered, unless iu case of un avoidable accident. Tbe capital stock ol the company is five hundred thousand dollars, a sum not unreasonable; and the number of shares for sale is limited to one hundred thousand dollars, at five dollars perthare. Subscriptions will be received by the officers of the company. The chares are nearly all sold. The Prospectus of the Company appears n another column of to day' paper. Subscriptions will also be received at this office. The editor of the Democrat and Star brings out his big cannon o:i the result ol the un important township elections ot this county. Because they have "ons Democratic, a they always do, he oimoi-i tr.e with joy ! But he hadn't a word to hay about New Hampshire; Set he Republican. Now, we fay that the above i an in excusable, wilful and deliberate false hood. You cowardly, craven, sneaking hypocrite you. You know bitter, aud if there is the least spark of honesty about you, you will make the proper correction. When you know, as well as you know you live, that we gave iu our last issue an exact and detailed account of tho New Hampshire election, and in tbe same column with the report of other elections of which you speaii. We ask our readers to examine this matter for themselves by referring to our last week's issue. 1 Your knees begin to shake, do they ! Well they may, (or depend upou it sooner or later jour hypocrisy, your machina tions :md your trjM.non will be laid bare t the indignant gaze of rvery American who know you. We call the especial attention of the editor of the Jit publican to the follow ing The chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee authoritatively denies the statement which has appeared in the New York paper?, that any committee of tbe late Demacratic Convention, or of the State Central Committee, has waited upon President Johusou. The report that he had been waited on by such a committee, and that he told them to go home and chaDge their ticket, is another Abolition disunion lie, gotten, up for electioneering purposes. There can be no truthful objections to the lals candidate, nor o the platform of the Democratic party. TiiE Democratic party of this county is a J unit. It wilt remain united. The attempt to distract and divide it will fail. From every part ol the county we have but one opinion I and it is emphatic "vie will sustain the Democratic party, and stand by the princi ples lor which it has so consistently and corageocsly battled.'' 7 he "disorganizerV' hope of division and dissension will not be realized. The true spirit is manifested the right sentiment is operating. The rank and file ol the .Democratic party and God b!es them, for they are always tree and can be relied on were never more encouraged and in earnest. T&e prospects were never more aopicious. Tie above is a plagairism but mere ap plicable in our form than in i:a aathora. Isn't it Doctor ? Uaviso bt en foiled in their attempt throughout the com try to combine Church and State, the political preach ers, and "Loyal League' lecturers, of Bloomsburg i are carrying on what they call ft ''Union Prayer Meeting," work, which would, hd it proper men to lead it. redound to the benefit of the commu nity, and to the advancement of the christian religion. . But it is thought by mopt people that j the same hypocrisy, and insincerity chnr- cte-ire s their "Union payers that i?M their ''Union speeches and that tbe result will he another quarrel and a btill, greater reduction and dissatisfaction in their congregations. The preachers of Bloomsbarg, with but one or two exceptions, and we be lieve all who are in this new scheme, so shamefully desecrated the pulpit, curse but to father it.

Reported for the Democrat If Star. Pennsylvania Legislature. Harrisburg, March 19, 1866. Mcssrs. Editors: The present session is rapidly drawing to a close, and every member having bills yet to be acted upon is pressing them. As is the case every session, there will remain in the hands of the different Committees rrany bills. Tbe legislation done last week was nearly all of a local character. A very heavy private calender was disposed of, occupying the whole attention of the House for two days. On Tborsday pnblic bills were the order of the day. The first bill on the calender wms "A further supplement to the act approved December 14, 1963, entitled an Act relative to landlords and tenants." This bill was laid over. "An act regulating the opening of the Polls at elections, except in the city ol Philadelphia and county of Allegheny," was next taken up and passed, requiring that from and afier the passage of this act every ganeral and special election shall be opened at the hour of eiht orclocK in the forenoon. "An act extending the jurisdic tion of alderman and justices of the peace in certain cases" was defeated in the corn m'utee of the whole. 'A further supple ment to an act io enable the governor to ap point notaries public, and lor other purpos es therein mentioned" was considered and passed finally. "An act for the relief of certain Banks of this Common wealth" was recommitted and the probabilities are that the bill will not be beard of again this ses sion. "An act relating to city passenger railways," requiring them lo pass on the right hand track, the same as vehicle on common roads, was passed to third reading. "A joint resolution in reference ot the trial ot Jefferson Davis:' was taken np and passed. The resolution read as follows : "That we, the Senate and House of Repre sentatives cf the State of Pennsylvania, do hereby declare our solemn conviction, that j treason menta the severest panUhmen!,tbat the penalties incurred by the chief partici pants in tho late rebellion, should by no means be abated. and that ihe people whom we represent, steraly demand that Jefferson j Davis, chief instigator of and leader in trea- i son, be brought to a speedy trial before the j k i 1 1 iiiu ri, ur it zimiidi) tu;iiiiiirMi);if una 11 found guii:y thai he should be speedily ex ecuted." Considerable diccunsion was had upon this resolution, and on its final pas sage tha yeas and nays were called ; the Republicans all voting for it aod but twelve Democrats voiing aeainst it, the balance dodged, with two or three exceptions, who voted wiih the Republicans. On Friday the visual order was gone throogh wiih, ihat of reading bills in place, presenting petitions and remonstranc85(and reporting bills from committees. In the af ternoon the heads of the Executive Depart ment and Members ol both branches of the Legislature were entertained by an exhibi tion given by lhe,,!Mocn: Joy," "Paradise" and "McAllisterville," Schools, from Lan caster county, composed of Sol.leirs' Or phans', some three hundred in number.- These little fellows acquitted themselves with credit. Their einging was most ex cellent as well as was their martial music. They were dressed in cniform clothing making them ill look alike. Out of all that number only one was left at home unable to attend, on accoaat of ill health. This speaks well for their sanitary condition ,and argues in favor of ihe present system of ed' ucating the Soldiers' Orphans. We i;ever saw a more beahy, robust lot of children.- Tbe bos wore neat blue caps and blue roundabouts, and the little girls plain calico dresses and black cloaks. They all 6eemeJ pleased to think that the State was educa ting them, and if these schools are fair sam ples they are improving their time. The exercises continued some three hours; speaking and singing being Ibe order of the exercises. At the close Gov. Cartin addressed the audience in a patriotic and telling manner, appealing to ihe LegL!a'.cre in strong terms to nrt neglect these little Orphan children. The Governor has warm feelings far thee litie ones, and is deter mined lo stand by the pledges made by himself and the btate that they shall be pro tected. The House adjourned to meet on Monday.

J Editor t Democrat $ Star : GcNTLtntN; ily at- lion has been directed loan article ic the last issue o! the Bloomsburg Republican, over the signature of "A Soldier, which I wish briefly to analyze. It contains three unmitigated falsehoods. I shall give tbem tbe benefit of a re-publication and thorough ventilation. He says : ''IIikster Clym Eitj of Berks county, is as far as we know a man ol inte; rity and a good citizen, if a copperhead can be such. From the commencement of the war to its close, he has voted while in he Senate against every measure or - resolution for its support, retused to tender to those in the field even as much as a vote of thanks for their deeds of valor." The latter part of this assertion is fslse io fact and is contradicted by the Journal of the Senate. Mr. Clymer voted for all lezal appropriations to support the Government and never withheld "a vote of thanks (to the Soldier) for their deeds of valor." In fact, he never gave a vote in the Senate, that was not strictly for tho support of the Union. "He never drew a sword or carried a moskeiin defence of his Slate when i was invaded by Lee and his rebel horJas." . Everybody knows this charge u untrue, Mr. Clymer "thoulJtied his mitsk'.t," with the Berks County Volunteers, and marched in the Fourteenth Regiment, to the front at ill Battle of Antielam and South Mountain. I encamped and marched with him over many of the bills and vales of Maryland. "Ha always been an ctiscrupulous ene my of Union soldiers-" Mr. Clymers voluntary enlistment in the "Union Army," gives this last bold slander a most emphatic contradiction. He is the right kind of a "Union Soldier." And so we will demon6!rate, by the overwhemling vote we shall give him on the second Tues- day of next October, when he will be tri umphantly elected Governor of Pennsylva nia. But who are these pitiful creatures, that thus attempt to manolacture public opinion and defame (ty malicious falsehood,- the good name of the Hon. Hirsrert Cltmkk. The writer who has the audaci'y to sign himself "A Soulier" is no: worthy of that title, and most shamefully di.raced the bine he wore, and is now attempting to do injustice to the respectability ot tbe citi zens of Catawissa. Tbe publisher of his pusillanimous slanders, is the veritable Thomas Dunn, who never did, or never will "shoulder a gun" to defend our country, bo, had no scruples about changing his name for the pcrpose of destroy in the good char acter ol his neighbor's wife.

Hon. p.li Thayer, of Massachusetts, baa separated himself from the so-called Re publican party, jnd takes a bold and decid ed Maud in favor c( the Democracy. He has taken the stump in Connecticut against the Republican caudidate for Governor, and in his lengthy speech on last Thursday eve ning, at New Haven, he said : 1 say that the only Uoion party I know of now is the Democrat.c party. (Applause ) 1 have asked no man's advice about tb standard 1 was to take iu this crisis of th ration; 1 desire no man's counsel; your State Commitiee nor any one else ever asked me to come to Connecticut 10 make a speech I volonipered my services in (be work. 1 told the Chairman of your State Committee I would be here, and that I would spek every night onttl the election, and even of ener if it were desirable. Hav ing entered into this fight, I intend to con tin ua in it until this issue is fairly decided by the American people. Turning from ''rhis subject, Mr. Thayer entered into a scathing exposition of tbs Bureau Bill. He alluded briefly to other topics and before closing, said : Now, gentlemen, I bave touched opon some of .the important points which are pending betore you in this cause. It is be-cau-e 1 believe you are unanimously in favor of the policy ot President Johnson that 1 come before you aud acknowledge you lo be the only Union party in the coun try. (Applause.) I have no confidence whatever in a party which professes to tos uin at the same time the policy of the President and the ac'ion of Congress. I was in the Siat of New York, though 1 made no speeches, during the campaign last Fall, and there we had a party that professed to stan I by the President, and denounced the Democratic Convention at Albany as ihe Albany swindle, because tbey professed to enMain the policy of Pres ide.il Johnson Wendeil Phillips came. during th-j campaign, made a speech at the Cooper Institute, and when he insulted the President mosi energetically, then the rafters were almost elevated from their places by applause. Whose applause? Not by the applause of Democrats, tor there were none there. The applause came from the same men who pro!eed to sustain ihe policy ot the President. Only a tew weeks ago, William Lloyd Garrison came to the Academy of Music, in Brook lyn, and was mere insulting to the President than even Wendell Phillips bad been, and be was enthusiastibally applaoJ ed. that was a meeting of Republicans. But when they ceme to make their next piatfurm and ihey believe that success de pends on ii they will all profess to sns tain .both Congress and the President. (Laughter.) But this is a trick that cannot r ' 1 1- o r j r I 'j t o 1 I ri " r ' s m ) fBcri jm,,:eions now ihat men can sus-ain both lhB President and Concress anv mom 1 J " both '.he President and Congress any more than they can serve God and mammon. If a man favors Congress, why not let him say so and come out in favor of the bureau biU ? These cowardly men who have post poned ihe questions relating lo ihe admis- sion of tLe Southern Stales Dn.il af;er ionr election, are waiting to see what Connecti cut says of tha coarse they have taken. Let them hear and understand that there is no endorsement here ot those who wonld overthrow tha principles laid down by the fathers of the country, and who defy and insult the good sense, patriotism and mag nanimity of the people. (Lood applause.) Every man who is sincere in bis objec tions to ih policy of the Radicals will join the Democratic party, the only Union party ever in existence. There is nu middle groond in this matter, "be that is not fur cs is 8zaint us" and all efloru t I hni!.l nr a "l.ihnadn roflo" has nn.l mt-ki 1 vtJii- u. uuuu.i wly llV BUM im vri r,; I ui-ci4 Like Mr. Thayer, we say that tbe only i ' Union parly," we know of is the Demo cratic party which ta-day, more than ever, is flushed with victory. The Democracy never aked President Johnson more than any other man to come to their standard, or endorse their principles, or carry oat their policy. But as an American, as a man hav mz respect for the Constitution, for law, order, peace and a revival of national re spect for legal government, and a national lova lor liberty, is compelled to assnme Democratic measures. Should he even de- sire it, he can never regain the confidence i of the Radicals. All true and sincere con servatives will follow the coaree of Mr.' Thayer. Attempted Abortio.v L38t eye ning efficer Biugh received a dispatch frcm Sunbury to arrest a man and wo man named respectively, Dr. Ilollocbach and Mary Eveland. The dispatch was signed by John B. Bird. Upon the ar rival of the train offiicer Baugh arrested the parties and took them to the station house, where a search was made, and a paekage of money containing -2,100 was found on the woman, together with a gold watch end other valuables. She gave her name as JIary GiUinger, but it was certain from the description given in the dispatch from Sunbury, that she was tbe woman referred to in the eazne. John P. Bitd, the writer cfthe dispatch, arrived at an early hour this morning acd a hearing was had before Mayor Edwards. The testimony showed that in conse quence of Bird's intimacy with the wo man she became with child. Dr. Hol lonbach testified that be was going to Philadelphia to purchase surgical instru ments of which to procure an aborlioa for the woman, and he also stated that Bird and him bad arranged the matter, and that Bird had given the woman$2,00tf to proceed to Philadelphia to accomplish this object. Bird, however, on the ad vice ol his attorney, refused to answer any questions, not even claiming tha money, and the Mayor was therefore compelled to dismiss tbe case. We be lieve all the parties concerned in tbe case belong to Shamokin Kortnomberlaai county. Poltcime-, John'k'. MaUhews, aa Stewart J.
