We have had several inquiries as to
geepresent position of these two gen-
Osman,. whether they are satisfied with
tbelete defeat of the Democratic party
itithts State, or anxious for further op
portunities to slgna4o their hatred ler
the party, its principles and organiza
tion. The answer is that both Col.
Feeney and Dr. Nebinger are still affil
iating with the Black Republicans, and
aiding them by all the means in their
power. The Black Republicans of
Cumberland county hold a meeting at
Carlisle, on Tuesday of last week, "in
honor of the victory achieved at the
late eliction ' " at which Col. Forney
and Dr. .Nobinger were present, and
made speeches on the same stand with
Mesirs. Todd and Penrose, two of the
most bitter and violent Black Republi
cans io this State. The substance of
tho addresses delivered by Col. Forney
and Dr. Nobingor was the intense
gratification felt by these gentlemen at
the defeat of the Democratic party, and
their hope that the entente cordial of the
allianee would be preserved, as a means
4 by which future victories for the great
Lpsrty of the NortA could be - secured.--
!hie whole tone and spirit of the speech
es were most thoroughly Black Repub

The. &now Nothing managers here
are exceedingly sensitive in regard to
the moans employed by them during
the late campaign. Although it was
notorious—uot denied, we believe—
that they used stosay without stint, and
sometimes even without ordinary dis
cretion, to carry their point; now they
gainsay everything of the, kind, and
pretend to bo virtuously indignant at
the mere mention of the odious fact—
but Liar it remains! •

districts of the county midnight dark

ly previous to, and with a' view to or
gsnizing for, the recent election, does
not admit of doubt; and that the bal
ance- of the districts wore aroused by
influences and means also secretly em
ployed, may be inferred from numerous
developments. The 'managers, how
over, vehemently pretend that they
"know nothipg " of such dark. arrange
ments—that the talk about them is
mere " twaddle "—and so on to the and
of the chapter of 'lying denials. But
that secret manceuvres were made, is
assuredly true, and they must, hereafter
be more closely watched for.
- 7 - There were six hundred Demo
crats in Adams county not at the
at the late election—rutiping from, say
eight back in the smallest township, to
nearly ninety in ono of the largest. On
the other hand, the Opposition vote in
Lilo county not polled was hardly ono
hundred and fifty, and cannot bo hon
estly figured out more. This settles
the Democratic majority in Adams
to be from four to five handred—and
we entertain the confident belief that a
year hence it will be fully brought out,
to the total defeat and overthrow of
proscriptive Know Nothingism and dis
union Black Republicanism.

IbTlt is a &mown resort of tho Star,
when driven to the wall, to "got out
of the scrap() " by bold falsehood and
downright cowardly abuse. Last Fri
day's issue says the Complier of Monday
was "ontircly reckless of the truth"
when it stated that a banner had boon
carried in the Opposition Jolificstion
procession bore which "gloried" over
the Baltimore "election "—and seeks
to give foreo to this denial ny indulging
in language gUite complimentary of the
editor of this journal. Now, our an
swer to all this is the Iblloviing naked
Question : If the Baltimore mockery
was not "gloried " over as stated in

Intended, as a "crow " Over that result.
Can the very veracious and gentlemanly
editors of the Star explain theta away
—or will they resort to tho game
of denying oven tho carrying of any
such banner in the procession? Wo
shall see.
And when they are through with this
point, wo -rhall bo very apt, (for the
take of prolonging the amusement,) to
ask for an explanation of the two small
bells carried, and occasionally rung s
near th.o centre of that notablo pro

sir Mr. McParnsori must already be

give the following " /sigh falutin " from

standing the eleereess of the law upon
this point, an attempt was made yes
terday, in the Board of Rettirn Judges,
to throw out tho returns of some of the
precincts of the Fourth Ward, on ac
count of alleged frriudu:ent
The object of this, it was well under
stood, was to defeat the election of Col.
Florence, or, by giving the certificate
to his opponent, t,b compel him to ap
pear in the next Courtin; as a contest
ant for the seat. This attempt, which,l
it is rnitiorett; was planned by some des

failed of its purpose, for when the Court
was ap . p ea l e d to, It decided that the,
return Judges .hadiho power to go be

fraud were for the Criminal Court to
investigate. 'Though baffled by the in-,
terrention of the Court in this scheme,
the attempt was not the loss dishonest
and reprehensible. While professing
to be shocked by the illegalities alleged

Ward, the parties whose moral sonsibil

tempt to violate tliye one and disregard
the other, by usurping a power that
does not.. belong to thorn, and endeavor
ing to defeat a candidate who, accord

illegal votes? Morally and legally
there is not the toast difference between
ballot-box stuffing at an election, and
the illegal throwing out of votes after
it. The purpose of! both acts is to de

have them punished by fine and impris

on the rights of our citizens, and haring re
peatedly spoken of them to no avail, I had de
termined to let those whieb were committed at
the last municipal election pan unnoticed, so
far as Jens Commented. This determination
•Ilhould still govern me, bat for the fact that a
large portion of the coatafrunity look upon the
persons who ofliciated'aeijudges at that elec
tion as guilty of the terrible crime of perjury.
Tot being willing to be thus classed, justice to
myself inducts toe to staid publicly my course
on that day, ellattl3r reilliens therefor. I will
,proceed to state some agile acts which occur
red to which I could not{ give my sanction.
Before the hour for opening the polls there
wee eoegregated about the window a croirdet
men and boys, , openly sainting that no one
should vote who did not vbte•thn Swann tick
et; and several gentlemen, of known respeelabili
ty and standing,- who were suspected of ea In
tention to vote differently, were pushed out
and driven 'off.. The thin for opening the
polls arrived, and the Toting earmfaCilced•-••
(and 1 am compelled to say I never before wit
nessedkuch scenes at an election }-- men and
boys v otlbg as often as they pleased, both seen
and unseen by the judges, who took their
ballots.
I strenuously protested against such proceed.
ings, but to no avail. This sort Of voting went
on for about half an hour, wheaoheret was
added to it another mode, via; that of voting
from backs and omnibuses—a means by Which
.more gross outrages are perpetrated on the
elective franchise than brobstbly any other
that could be adopted, for in nearly every case
two or three times as many ballots were taken
as there were persons in the hacks, and there
can be no doubt of the illegality ofahnost the
entire number of those that were in them, to
say nothing of the repetition of voting. This
mode of voting was carried on to an extent in
credulous to state. While those who wished
to rote • ticket other than those marked on the
back, except in a few instances, were not al
lowed to vote at all, I saw in more than a doz
en instances a person come to the fence in the
front of the window holding a ticket in either
hand, both of which were taken and put in the
box, the person giving some names, no doubt
assumed, as they voted. Men from other
wards, known to the judges, came up and bad
no difficulty in voting. I determined to leave
the window and have nothing more to do with
the election as judge.
I took a seat in the back part of the room
*ad witnessed a continued repetition of voting
by the same parsons until their faces, which
bed never seen before that day, became as fa..
scalier as the sun. From notes taken then, I
sm sure I would not. exceed the bounds of
truth were I to say that the same person voted
io the eighteenth ward, on that day, eighty to
one Misdeed times, and certalaiy as often as he
wished. I know the people pretty well in my

"Outpouring"—"Over the Lisa!"
We bear a great deal since the else
tion from the Opposition, about the
election in Pennsylvania having been a
grand, mighty, terrible, overwhelming,
majestic (gracious only knows how
many more big words they use,) Our.
VatTelno of the people. It rather
strikes us (says the . York Press,) that
the position is anything bat a logical
one. We would call it a staying at
hone of the people. The Opposition
have Amoy ideas of an outpouring of
tbo people, we must confess. When
ever there is a large oleotion, stud al
most the entire vote is out, and the
poinownoy, as la invariably the case on
those occasions, are victorious, nothing
is heard from the Opposition then about
its having been a grand, majestic out
pouring of the people l Oh, no I But
whoa an election is an onustialty small
ono— as On the 12th inst., and they are
vidijniOne, it le then only a grand, ma
jestio antponring of the people. This
rather clashes with our preconceived
notions of an outpouring of the peoplo,
for wo had always thought( that a full
vote was an indication of an outpouring
of the peoplo, not an unnenally s call
ono. But as our Opposition friends
seem to think it "a good enough Mor
gan" for them, we will not quarrel with
them any longer about it,
The Administration will pursue the
oven tenor of its way, regardless of
this tempest in a teapot, aboat which
we hear so much since the election. It
will not cause the groat Pennsylvanian
to deviate from the previous policy of
his Administration one hair's breadth.
.110 has marked it out and ho has the
courage and the nerve to follow it out
through good and ill repute, unmindful
of the idle clamor ,of the day, being
well assured that bo sober second
thought of tho American people, after
the passions and prejudices of the hour
are buried and forgotten, and his Ad
ministration is examined, and fairly
and impartially judged by its fruits,
that they will write approval upon it,
and say, well done thou good and faith
ful servant.
Then and Now.
Previous to the late election, tho or
gans of the Opposition party harped
continually upon tho idea that the bus
iness of the country was destroyed-that
the iron manufacturers had been ruined
by Democratic policy; and that Presi
dent Baehanan's Administration had
wodaced nothing but ruin and distress.
Now, when the election is over, and
the end desired by those who publ6liod
these charges is accomplished, the tune
is changed, and whole columns of their
papers are filled with glowing accounts
of tho prosperity of business—of large
iron establishments going into opera
tion, and of the good time dawning
upon us generally. What has produced
the sudden change ? Certain!) , not the
policy of. the Republicans, for they aro
not yet in power. But the fact is that
the hue and cry about distress, and the
proitration of business, was raised
merely to deceive the people into the
support of Republicanism, Dad that
object boing secured, the facts flood nu
longer be perverted. how long will
the people be deceived by these dishon
orablo tricks of scheming politicians I
