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

especial care of oor influential citizens. In
no way have they been unfavorably situated

Does their style of living indi

they enjoying more comfort, and is vagran

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 consolidation, cf the Democrat and
Star gives os a reliable combative forje,
and in the language of the day wn will "go

The Late Elections. v
At do lims in ill cor political experience

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

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

The Express, speaking of the letter writ-

himself as "a life long Democrat," attempts
to break the force of that utterance by
showing what kind of a Deraccrat this re

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 !

the policy of President Johnson, but they j

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

rapidly adapts itself to tbe form . of the
wearer and allows of any amount of doub

shape. These skirts ara unquestionably

and economical ever made

This company has been chartered by the

own one thousand feel on on the Barker

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

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

by the officers of the company. The chares

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.

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. Typo.

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.

A Good Example.
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

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.
