OB Thursday evening, Oct. 24th inst.,
the inhabitants of Butler and vicinity
were permitted to enj oy a rich feast in
listening to the soul stirring strains of
sweet vocsl music. The occasion is one
that will long be remembered by all who
were present. In accordance with pre
vious arrangements, Rev. R. B. Robert*
son of Freeport, and twenty»five ladies
and gentlemen of his Binging class vis
ited our quiet town for the purpose of
giving a musical Concert for the benefit
of t}ie furnishing fund of the
splendid new U. P. Churih of Butler,
Pa. Expeotationa run high and anticis
pation was on tip toe, for those who
were privileged to know the Musical
ability of Mr. Robertson and his class
felt satisfied that we would have a rich
entertainment; and when we say, that
the expectations of those who were best
informed, wero more than realized, we
but faintly express the deep seutiments
of admiration and ecstasy which were
kindled in the hearts of all lovers of mut
sic who were permitted to listen to the
rich, sweet and elegant musio of the oc
casion.
The class did credit to themselves and
their worthy teacher. So well did each
and all perform their parta that we would
not be excusable if we were vain enough
to undertake to particularize. These
lections were good, and of aufficient va
riety to make the entire performance en
tertaining and instructive- The lady,
who performed upon the Piano is an ex
cellent player and deserves great credit.
The two leading, Soprano singers a>-e
deservedly held in high estimation for
the part they took in the performance.
This Concert haa given an impetus to
ths musical talent ot Butler, which was
very much needed and it will no doubt
do us good.
It has been intimated that we may
possibly be favored withjSnother visit by
this class shortly. Come, one and all.
"Friends, of my youth," bring your
rich apparel, and we will welcome you
to our "old Fireside."
THE question of reconstruction is no
longer an open ene. It was settled by
the people in their elections one year
ago. Their decision was rendered after
a careful examination of the cane; they
heard both parties, considered the plana
proposed and weighed the arguments ad
vanced by each. The isauo was clearly
defined as between the President and
Congress, and the people understood it
as well, if not better, than any na
tional question they had ever voted upon.
They decided in favor of Congress aB
•gainst the President. The;, ultcted a
Congress strong enough to defy the
President's opposition, and committed to
it the work of teconnstructing the gov
ernment. To that Congress slone tiicy
look for the restoration of the States
lately in rebellion, and they hold it re
sponsible for the manner in which it
shall be done. The plan it has determ
ined upon, and which it has submitted
to the Southern people for their adop
tion, is the only one that need be ex
pected from that body. Its rejection by
the South may delay the work of recon
struction but it» final consummation on
this basis cannot be prevented by any op
position they may offer. The Congress
that offers these terms must remain in
power for two years to come, and it is
idle to suppose that any of these States
can or will be allowed to remain in their
present status for that longth of time.
It is just as idle to suppose that Con
great will iin any respect yield or
recede. Even should there occur that
reaction in Northern sentiment which
the enemies of Congress so ardently hope
for, but which today is as far removed
as ever, it could avail nothing. No rev
olution in public sentiment could change
the political character of Congress within
the next two years, and without this, it
would amount to nothing to far aa re
construct!: n is concerned. The policy
of Congress has been finally determined,
and resistance to it can accomplish noth
iug but—delay— Franklin Repository.
FROM the Yankee Dokotian, of the
12t'n inst., we learn that the returns from
the various counties on the Missouri
slope of Dakota Territory indicate a Re
publican victory in the recent election
Yankton county gave a handsome major
ity for the straight Republican ticket
Clay county did the same while Union
county elected one Councilman from tho
straight Republican nominees, the re
mainder being both Democrats and Re
publicans running upon what was called
the Union ticket. No political issue
was made in th« upper counties. Re
ports from Bon Homme are to the effect
that the election was carried by the votes
of the Nebraskians imported for the pur
pose, and it i®"*imored that the election
will be contetifed.
WE do not tear General Grant in any
emergency. So says the Cincinnati tn
qnirer. So said the Rebel General Bragg
at Mission Ridge; and half an hour af
ter his army of seventy five thoussnd
men were beaten and fleeing in every
direction.

MB. KDITOB :—Pennit me through
th« columns of your paper on behalf of
Mr. R. B. Roberston's Music class tore
turn to the citizens of Butler our heart
fait thanks for the kind attention shown
us and the hospitable manner in which
we were entertained during our shert stay
with them. They seemed to Tie with
each other in Diking our visit a pleaeant
one, and they more than succeeded. I
once heard a celebrated divine remark
that "Butler" was famous for talents and
starvation, the former we sndorae ; but
the latter we do enter our protest against.
The worst wisb we have for this diviDe is
that he may fall into the hands of the
Buttorians sometime after having fatted
ten (10) or twelve (12) hours and if he
don't change his mind I am not a Proph
et, that's all. And now in closing we
thank you "gain, peopie of Butler ; and
our earnest wish awd prayer is, that, you
may not only be blest with an abundance
of the geod things of this life ; but that
you may always "be characterized by the
same generous spirit which was shown to
us. Yours truly,
Friends of my Youth-

MAJ. ANDERSON, Dear Sir : —I wish
some of your readers wbo have been dis
gusted with the way in which the good
old Agricultural Society of Butler Co.,
has been turned into a joint Stock, Horse
racing Association had been here last
week to see how we do in the back*
woods. If they had, there would have
been a very sudden rise iD Heal Estate
in this vicinity. Our Fair passed off
very pleasantly, the weather was vory
disagreeable but we had a very creditable
turn out. Two hundred and Eighty
nine entries. One n>an brought a wagon
load ofvegetablis &c.. conspicuous among
which were three Squashes weighing re
spectively 111, 115 and 116 pounds, as I
was on the Committee of arrangement I
saw them weighed and assisted in car
rying tliem in. They were about two
feet in diameter- We had Turnips and
Beets weighing 8 or 9 pounds a piece.
Potatoes of nearly two pounds and other
things in proportion. The show of fruit
was small but of excellent quality. Dv.
Walker exhibited ten varieties of I'ears
and also some very fine Plu»s and Apt
pies. Several persons exhibited Apples
Peaches and Grapea equal to anything
I ever saw elsewhere. The Floral Dei
7'«rtmcnt was beautiful. Such Parities
Aators and Dahlies you nover saw. It is
said that the Dahlies run out hero. I
took a diploma for one tliat ha' 1 , rua out
to the height of Seven feet nine inohes-
Next year I intend to select some good
roots put them in a well-prepared bed
and take care ot them and see if they
wont run out a^ain.
I wish you could tako a sail on Crys
tal Lake now, when the Jforests are in
their full glory. The dark Green of the
Hemlocks, the lighter shade of the Ce
dars and Fir Balsams interminglsd with
the Crimson and yellow of tho Maplos
and Beech trees, and below the water
like a huge mirror reflecting and setting
off the tints of the Forest. I am no en'
thuaiast, but such a scene as I saw to
day, auch as I see every day is worth go
ng for to see. Michigan abounds in
fair and beautiful Lakes bat ours is the
most beautiful of all.
We have had very little frost here yet
My Potatoes arc still green and*growing-
Some of them don't show a aign of the
Frost yet- Back from the Lake it is
more frosty. But I must close for the
present*

JOHN \V. GEARY.
Now, while we think the above law
should be considered by a christian peo
ple as a credit to a legislative body, that
had the honor to represent them, we still
thiuk tho Legislature and tho Republi
can party, acted very injudiciously in
passing any such act. What we want
to be successful (without which our or
ganization is a dead letter), is, that every
Republican volar should know that this
question of Temperance, Good Templars,
or bad Templars, Good Whiskey or Rad
Whiakoy, License of%o License, Rot Got
or no Rot Gut, has nothing to do wilh lhe
political istues of the present day. When
that Whiskey Question becomes a polit
ical issue, we shall expect every man to
take whatever side pleases him.
Uow foolish to quarrel about a
little whiskey, and repel lrorn the Re
publican party a few men whose customs
aud habits partake of the oldeo times
when it was a virtuous habit, and partic
ularly a social accomplishment to know
how to treat. The Republican party
was organized to save this country. Th»
question of Loyalty was the only question
put to a man upon bis initiation, and the
badge of treason was the only target of
our league. But now, a few men who
forget that "All things that are right
may not be expedient," have sought to
make this party a battering Ram to bat
ter down th# walls of every Tavern, Sa
loon and Distillery io the land. They
think to break th* Devil's head end drive
sin out of the world at one grand blow,
and like the old hen that laid the gooso
egg, they would kill themtelves an I the
party in the operation. The true way to
look at the question is, that the Demo*
cratic party is the Devil , aud if its head
was eutirely broken, the way would be
open to every reform. We defeated
treason and rebellion by defeating the
Democratic pany ; and now, we wish to
defeat the cunning conspiracy between
the Rebels, the Democrats, and Cana
dians, to rob our country and posterity of
the priceless jewels bought by the blood
of our brethren, we must throw every
thing aside but that one question.
Vi e have tried this side issue to our
sorrow, and must now take a leison from
our misfortune, and re'urn to those days
of 'Ol, when the on'y question was, wil'
you fight for the Stars and Stripes Do
you love the t Uniou of our fathers? When
the Tocsin of Wnr was sounded, and the
recruit presented himeeif, there no ques
tion of Whiskey, or License, or any thing
of this kind was atked. Let it be so
again, and eay, as a party, to every legal
voter, that our only motto is, that "the
loyal shall rule." If you believe that
whiskey should be free as water to every
man that has 10 cents, all right. If you
only believe iu)tbe t ruth of thoso great
principles oflluman Freedom, that were
sealed with the blood of Four Hundred
Thousand, Republicans, that is all we
ask. If you, on the contrary, believe
that a mm should never indulge more
than 0 cups of coffee, 3 cups of tei. 4
ounces of tobacco, aud half a dozen ce
gars in a day. that Apple outter should
be made without oider, and whiskey
should never be sold by less measure
than 10 gallons, to be kept in the cellar
for the daily colic, all right if you can
only vote to keep the murderers of your
fathers and brothers from place and pow
er over us.
Now, Good Templars, Read the above
circular ami let it satisfy you that no
liquor issue can save our country. This
Circular was a regular campaign docu
ment, aud at the B<tinc time an argument,
direct in favor of indiscriminate and un
res train/ed traffic in ardent spirits; an sr.
gUinpnt in favor of disorderly houses,and
of Habbath breaking-, nevertheless, take
that to (he private roim of your Demo
cratic Deacon, on Sunday morning, aud
pray with him until the Tuesday mom
ing of the election, and he still will vote
the Democratic ticket aud laugh at your
foolishness The above document should
be sjfficieut io repel every christian man
from the Democratic patty, but loug ex
perience has proven that party spirit will
often overcome moral convictions. The
country and the interest of humanity
demand that a Republican President be
elected in 1868. This is work enough
for one day, and to this every other pur
pose muet be subservient. All are wel
come to give to loyalty a crown, and in
the lauguage of Andy, tho Apostate,
once more "Make Treason Odious "
And in this, let all be assured that they
shail be protected in their rights, and
that they support a party pledged to one
and only purpose, immediate salvation of
our country from the hands of its ene»
mies. They have won by fraud a tem
porary victory. The hosts will bo mar
shalled for November, '6B. Then shoul
der to shoulder let them be met, and a
2ud Gettysburg w:ll send them reeling
to tho Rapidan, or son} 6 other dam.
MONITOR.
TALLEYRAND ouce gave as his opin
ion that lauguage was intended not to ex
press but conceal ideas. In American
politics this theory seems to have been
accepted as correct. For instance we
have in this country a great national par
ty advocating the doctrin that the goverm
ment belougs to a particular class of its
citizens, and that none outside of that
class should have any voice iu its dire
roction or control, and it is called the
Democratic party. Now either Talley«
raud was right or else this party is guil.
ty of an unwarranted pcrvisione of lau
guague. We don't adtn tthe correctness
ot the theory, the party may and most
likiily does. According to our notion it
is an improper use of tne English lan-»
guajie, a prevision, a fraud. Democracy,
as we have been taught, don't signily the
rule of any particu.ar class of the people,
but of ill the people. .Literally and hisi
toricallf it means the same thing. A
careful study of its derivation aud its
historic meaning will salsify any one of
this fact. It implies the right in those
who are governed to say of what c tar»
j actcr their government shall be aud how
! it shall be directed. This very party
admits all this, and until recently Was
accustomed in its mass meetings and
contentions to declare in solemn terms
that all governments, derive their ju-t
powers from that consent ot the govern-,
ed. Yet in seeking power it combats
this veiy theory and resists every effort
that is made to reduce it to practice
It calls itsrlf Democratic and advocates
| just what its name does not imply. Ins
stead of being Democratio in it* ideas i»
is jnst the opposite ; it ignores the people
as a mass ami would restrict all power to
a paiticular class To uall it democratic
is to disregard all propriety, call virtue
vice, or black white. Wo seldom thijk
of this when speaking of the party, be
cause wo have become aceu touted to
the provision ; just as wo would to any
other abusive lauguage frequently in-,
dulged in and long continued. Democ
racy way answer as well as any other
word ot au equal nnmber of letters merely
to designate a praticular party, bat as
for expressing or in anywise indica
ting the principles of the party that is
now called by that name, it is worse than
worthloss — Frank fin Rejmri'ory.

"WASHINGTON, October 22, 1867
DEAR JUDGE UNDERWOOD:—On re
flection, I think it best that you advise
the District Attorney, Mr. Chandler, thai
I will join you in holding court in Rich
mond on the 13th of November, if any
important business is to be transacted.
Mr. Chandler, I think, ahould notify the
counsel for Jiffcraon Davis of this, in
order that he may appear and tako hit
trial, if he sees fit. As his bail was ta<
ken for bis appearance on the fourth
Wednesday of November, he is not, it ii
true, bound to appear earlier, but as il
is not possible for roe to be present ex
cept during 6rst week of the term
commencing on *he fourth Weduesday,
because of the term of the Supreme
Court commencing on the following Mon>
day, it may be that Mr. Davis and his
counsel will prefer the trial to tuke place
at the oarlier period, It is understood
that they wish that the Chief Justice
may be present.
"Yours, very truly,
"S. P. CIIASE.
"To Hon. J. C. Underwood, District
Judge."
A gentleman just returned from Ijon
don, Va., says this letter was yesterday
