The Senatorial Contest.
The last issue of the Repostiory and Tran
script contains an article, under the head of
"the Senatorial contest" in which we find the
following in reference to Mr. Douglas :
" The active leaders of the party in every
section of the county, who have labored al
most yearly to keep ham off the ticket, except
ing when defeat was inevitable, will allow
him to make his own struggle."
The evident desi gn of thi s a r ticle is to cre
ate the impression that the qualifications of
Mr. Douglas are not such as to inspire the
party with confidence in him. Such nn effort
must prove worse than abortive. Connected
as we are in politics with that gentleman, we
have the satisfaction of knowing that such is
nut the case. We know that the members of
the organization have a high appreciation of
the political sagacity, the character and the
talents of their candidate for Senator. They
know him to have a mind of no mean order,
to be an unimpeached and unimperichable
Democrat, and to be as true as steel in hon
esty and honor. And not only do his politi
cal friends unite in this opinion, but men of
all parties pay tribute to his worth, and agree
in saying that those who know most of Mr.
D., are his warmest friends. As a proof of
this we cite the following from the ladepen
&el of March 25tb,1859:
"Mr. Douglas, by the way, has always been
to our mind a type of a fair, manly politician
—sate who makes up his opiniuns - from sin
core reflection, and who speaks them fear
lessly and ably. We can always put our fin
ger right down on hint, and we can nut catch
him in equivocation or evasion."
8o much for the general tent
. sif the arti
cle referred to. Now fur the [matron we have
selected. The assertion that bite leaders of
the party have yearly labored ho keep Mr.
Douglas -of
the ticket is simply untrue. In
1850, when defeat was not inevitable, Mr. D.
was nominated by a full Democratic Conven
tion, without a dissenting voice, as a candi
date for District Attorney. The leaders of
the party did nut then labor to keep him off
the ticket; but labored faithfully fur his :mini
natiou and election. In 1857 Mr. Nill was
in the field as a candidate for the Legislature.
Ilia claims were certainly superior to those of
Douglas. Ile was an older man, and an older
member of the party. Douglas saw this, and
withdrew his name before there was a single
ballot in the Conveotion. In 1858 the nomi
nation, according to custom, was due Mr.
Nil!, through courtesy, as an endorsement of
his previous career, and, again, Mr. Douglas
did not suffer his name to come before the
Convention. This is the history of the mat
ter. And whatever was done,, was the act of
Mr. D. himself, to contribute to the harmony
of the party—an act which shoiild endear him
to the party, and bring out fur him a full par
ty vote at the October election.
The second statement that the leaders of
the party "would allow hint to make his own

A Word in Behalf of the Dem
ocratic State Ticket!
We have before called the attention of OAR
numerous readers to the excellent ticket that
was nominated in March last, by the Demo
cratic State Convention Ncilleh assembled at
that time in Harrisburg. We earnestly de
sire AGAIN to present this matter to our breth
ern in Adams county ; and we beg they will,
not permit themselves to lose eight of the im
portance of the State struggle, in the discus
sion of any other issues that may be roused in
our midst in the present contest.
RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT and .Isiv Rowe,
the nominees of the Democrao party, are
gentlemen in every way wor by of our sup
port and confidence, an they should be
heartily and enthuasti sustained by the
entire Democracy of Peonsylva.nia. Mr.
Wright, our east& e for Auditor General,
has served for a g period in the Legisla
ture of this Sta , where by his untiring in
dustry and unbending integrity, be won the
admiration of his collenguee, and the applause
of his constituents.' The unanimous re-nom
ination of Mr. Rowe, as Surveyor General, is
a high and well merited tribute to the talents
of an eminent and useful public officer. His
abilities have given him a wide-spread and
deserved reputation—and his services as a
public officer have contributed much to tbe
prosperity and progress of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
Here, then, is a ticket which must satisfy
all our people—and its isneeessary, in order
tu preserve the present glorious organization
of our party, to elect it by a handsome ma
jority. A defeat might open the way to fu
ture disasters, and place the good old State of
Pennsylvania under the malign influences of
the enemies of Democracy. The ticket is
worthy, eminently so, of the confidence of
every true Democrat ; and certainly it should
be triumphantly sustained by the indomitable
Democracy of the Keystone State. In Adams
county it will receive the cordial support of
our party, and from the manifestations of sat
isfaction that reach us every day, in regard to
our county ticket, we are assured that a full
vote will be pulled in this• county on the
Second Tuesday of next October, and that
will, unquestionably, be a Dwnocratie vic

Purity of the Ballot Box.
The Fuluoi'Dernectal in an editorial arti
cle, published in July last, states that Col.
McClure "has done more than any other per
son to corrupt the ballot boxes of Franklin
county with money. and will one day reap a
crop of retributive justice that will consign
him to oblivion. The day may not be here,
but it will come." It will be seen, from the
above extract, thnt the reputation of McClure
fur corrupting the ballot box is not confined
merely to his own county. It has exteuded
abroad and brought reproach upon his name,
coupled with the prediction that his discred
itable transactions will one day "consign him
to oblivion." No man among us has dune
more to disgrace the palladiyni of our liberty
than McClure. Ile was the first man, in our
county, to introduce money in elections, and
mute his triumph by the mere dint of bard
club. ,The man has no popularity :reyond
his mosey, and no one is better acquainted
with that tact than himself or he would not
be so lavish in its use.—Cltamb. Spirit.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
The Republican Creed :
As Gathered from the Declarations of Re
publican Oracles.
Up with the BLACK MAN and down
with the WHITE!
If any sane man yet doubts the end and aim
of the Republican
,party—particularly in
those States where itt-4 power is firmly estab
lished—to be to make the negro the equal—
and in seine cases the superior—of the white
man, we commend to the consideration of
such the following amendment to the consti
tution of Massachusetts, adopted by two suc
cessive Republican Legislatures, and also, by
the
Republican voters of that State:
NO PERSON OF FOREIGN BIRTH
SHALL BE ALLOW ED TO wrE. NOR
SHALL BE ELIGIBLE TO OFFICE. UN
LESS HE SHALL HAVE RESIDED WITH
IN THE Jl, RISDICTION OF' THE STATE
FOR TWO YEARS SUBSEQUENT TO 1115
NATURALIZATION, and shall be otherwise
qualified according to the Constitution and
laws of the Commonwealth."
Whilst such is the policy of Massachusetts
Republicans towards foreigners, they accord
to the negro—the fugitive slave fresh from
the °Wen fields of the South—rights and
privileges equal to thosJ posseimed by native
born whites.
The same spirit that prompted the adoption
of this amendment actuated the Boston Ike,
the organ of the Massachusetts Republicans,
to the utterance of the following:
" Why, we venture the assertion without
fear of successful contradiction. that you may
take the five thousand negroes as they come,
and a thousand Irishmen in the same way,
and you will fiud the negroes surpass the
Irishmen of Boston in intelligence, morality
and industry, and good citizenship ; they are
more thrifty, more orderly, and every way
superior; it is the same in the city of Phila
delphia, as facts will abundantly prove."
" Because Wisconsin is mean and narrow
minded enough to refuse to allow a negro,
however intelligent, to vote, it by no means
proves that the negro does not deserve the
privilege, nor because Wisconsin at the same
time, permits A RAW IRISHMAN AND A N
IGNORANT DUTCHMAN to vote, wheu he
neither knows his own politics nor that of
his candidate, does it prove that Wisconsin is
either just or wise in making this arbitrary
discrimination. Let as be just and sensiule,
as well as critical and patriotic, Mr. Doolittle.
The only fair test of the capacity and dispo
sition of the black man to dwell SIDE ISY
SIDE, ON TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH
THE WHITE, is to take him where he dues
enjoy that equality. Unfortunately there is
no place where this is the case to the full ex
tent, for prejudice does much, even in the
most favored localities, to oppress. the color
ed men."
Nur k this feefing of affection for negroes
and hostility to whites cuntiued t, Mint/gin:llu
setts. The Cleveland /Loa/if—the Republican
organ in the Western Reserve—a paper ad
mired by the Republican party and sustained
by Republican patrollers...gives utterance to
its sentiments as follows:
" We unhesitatingly aver that SEVEN
TENTHS OV THE FOREILINERS IN OUR
LAND, WHO BOW IN OBEDIENCE TO
THE WILL OF THE I'OI'E OF ROME,
ALE NOT AS INTELLIOENT AS THE
FULL BLOODED AFRICANS OF OCR
STATE—WE WILL NoT INCLUDE THE
PART BLOODS. Yet,' rhould a more be
made to curtail the naturalization laws, mei'
to extending the residence ut the mart illite
rate, ignorant foreigoer tint Lunde on our
shores, SL'CII A DIN WOULD BE RAISED
BY THE DEM JC RATS AS WOULD DEAF
EN TUE STATE."
And such we may regard the almost uni
w•al feeling of Republicans respecting the
relative capacities and rights of foreigners
and negroes. That party is composed almost
entirely of men who Nen:formerly Know No
things—and while their love her the negri
has greatly inert axed, their detestatiuu of
foreigners has in nu wise abated.
But it is nut alone from their journals that
we learn this warm Republican affection for
the negro. It is a sentiment amt precludes
the mass of that party, and finds utterance
un all occasions. Let us quote from the men
who moulded the Republican party, and who
breathed into it the breath of ble—men who
have always sustained it, and who have re
ceived from it high official favors. And as a
man by marrying a woman, In the language
of the law adopts her circumstances, so the
Republican party, by electino. r' these men to
,office, adopted and eudonedtlieir declare
political opinions. And first from Guicrnor
Chase, of Ohio, now a prominent Republic:tn
candidate for the Presidency. lie said:
" I enbrace with pleasure this opportunity
of declaring my disapprobation with that
clause in the Constitution which denies to a
portion alp colored people the right of suf
4rage."
Again . he said :
" The exclusion of colored children from
the schools is, in my judgment, a clear in
fri ngotnent of the Constitution and a p a lp a ble
breach of trust."
And now let the Ajax of the party, JOSHL - A
R. Gioutucs, declare himself. In the last
Republican State Convention of Ohio' 3lr.
Giddings said :
" The negro is a Heavenly Institution, and
it it Godlike in Mau to decide him lo an equal
ity with the while."
And ]lr. Giddings thus delivers himself
through the Ashtabula Sentinel. This is a
choice moreeau, and deserves attention :
"Some niggers are superior to some Dem
ocrats. ludeed they are superior to the great
mass of the Democratic party; while some
Democrats are superior to some niggers, and
perhaps to the Feuer portion of the African
race. Yet all Democrats, kowercr intellects
oily inlerior they may be to the nigger:, are
entitled to lire, and to eujoy their liberty, and
the fruits of their lalvir. And while we are
endeavoring to sustain Giese equal and uni
versal rights we ought nut to be drawn into
any discussion of the "oral ur tonal suprert
°ray of the nigger: over the Democrats.
Mr. Giddings, be it remembered, is the
Chairman of the Republican Ceiumittee of the
State at large, in Ohio. Such sentiments he
has uttered during his whole life, and he Ins
time and again, since their utterance, been
honored with high official position by the
Republican brethren.
Lot US now hear BiNJAXIN F. WADE, Black
Republican United litotes Senator from Ohio,
who in a speed' at Columbus said :
" I loath front the bottom of my soul, any
man who Misstate tuvltsieg in human shape,
all the rights and privileges he claims fur
himself. 1 know no high, no t0m..... me e k,

Death of the Origiaal of IFilller Scotea
" Madge Wildlire."—A Scottish paper con
tains the following interesting history:
•• On Sunday forenoon intelligence was
brought to Calashice that an old woman of
weak mind, well Ittown to the people of Oa
lashicle and Melrose by various cognomehs—
as Bl ac k B eb 4, het Grainsiey, and Daft Bess
—was lying in a dying state on the road near
Ellwood Bridge. The county police, with
medical assistance, went to remove the suffer
ing woman who had laikthere all night; hut
she yielded up her breath just as the doctor
approached. The body was conveyed to the
sick-house here, and afterwards interred in
the stranger's plot at Latlhope burying
ground. Fifty years ago Elizabeth

was the rustic beauty, pride and tuast• of
Mchose and the neighborhood, respectably
brought up, with health mantling on her
cheek, and guileless innocence in her heart.
Returning home ono evening, !tic was set
upon in the gloomy solitude of the Bogletarn,
and there ruined. She returned home, or
rathcr she immediately forsook the ordinary
haunts of man, having become a raving mant
ac, and henceforth she dwelt apart, living
along among, but not a responsible portion of
humanity. rho outward form of what .had
once been a gay and happy girl took up its
dwelling place in a rude case, in the old
Quarry Hill of Melrose. Here shu slept at
night in Summer and Winter, wrapped up in
a blanket, save when fur some wild and woe
ful weeks after the birth of her dead child,
when she followed it to the church-yard, and.
would not be driven away, but slept among
the tombstones to watch its grace. It was
from this unfortunate waif that Sir Walter
Seott drew the character of "Madgu
in the " heart of Mel-Lothian." The partic
ulars of the sad ease were quite well known
to him, residing in the neighborhood ; and
the reader will observe that there is a striking
coincidence between the real facts as we have
