FOR PRESIDENT.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant,
Of Illinois.
Verily.
In out last issue we made some strict
ture« OD the assertion of our neighbor of
the Herald, that the negroes of Virginia,
at the late elaction, had taken possession
of the polls, and had driven the white
men sway from tho polls unless tlioy
would vote their ticket. This week, the
State of Virginia has been narrowed
«iown to the city of Richmond. It now
turns out that a single riotous demonstra
tion in the city of Richmond was a suf
ficient basis for the assertion that tho
polls in the State of Virginia were taken
possession of by the i \ayer. i hat will
do, Jacob! Continue to dilute your doss
es, and you will yet come to the verity of
the case.
The editor of the Ilerald descants very
eloquently on isolated outrages commit
ted by negroes, (which are condemned
by every individual that has the least
spark of the common feelings of human
ity and Christianity,) and stigmatizes the
Republican party as the instigator and
eause of these outrages. And, further,
the Republican patty i« charged by the
Herald as being the direot cause of tho
Slaveholder's Rebellion, and " costing .
tho country rivers of blood, and millions
of dollars."
J'robably the JJerald is not conversant
with the history of tho Democratic party
previous to, and during the war. It
might be well fer tho cause of ttuth "for
him to make an examination.".
Kvery body else Knows, if the Herald
does not, that long before the Rebellion
broke out, prominent members of tho
Democratic party, who are now held in
high esteem by tho modern Democracy,
had conspired to destroy the Union. —
Kvery State that sccedod and went into
the rebellion was Democratic. The arch>
traitors who instigated and wcro the head
and front of tho Rebellion, wcro Demo
crats. They robbed the Treasury, pil
laged tho Arsenals, had our ships of war
sent to Foreign waters, and precipitated
the country into civil war. Talk about
history ! Tall; aboutuegro outrages, and
endeavor to make tho Republican party
responsible for the same. As well might
you charge the Republican party of the
United States with the barbarities of
the Turks against the Christians ot Crete.
Go back to the teachings ot nlavery
»nd the conduct of white men towards
and with female slaves. Look at the
pale-faced negroes of the South, and then j
talk about isolated eases of negro outra- j
gos and tho responsibility of Republican j
editors. Tho editor says:
" The negro made the Republican par j
ty, and he will sink it so low, that while j
it may bo spoken of in history, it will j
only be with coutcmpt."
Ho forgot to tell liis readers that the Dera- j
ocratie party had been kept in power and j
had ruled this Nation for nearly half a !
eontury, through and by the balance ot pow '
er given to it through a representation fur J
the negro population of the South who wero j
treated as chattel property. Then, the j
Democratic party was kept up and enabled j
to rule by protecting and extending the Idol j
of Democracy—Slavery. When the exten
sion of slavery was stoppod and freemen
white men eaid, thus far shalt thou go, and
no further, —Democracy seceded, rebelled,
and plunged th» country into the civil war,
which '"cost the country rivers of blood and
millions of dollars." Your assertions, the t
the Republican party is lesponsilde for the
bloodshed and cost of the tqbellion, wont
answer, the people have made nn "exami
nation" of this subject and understand where
the responsibility rests.
This same Democratic party that ruled
ao long, aud when the sceptre was about Vi
depart from them, determined by Rebellion to
ruiu the fair fabric reared by our forefath
ers, is now marking great pretensions of
patriotism and love for the white laboring
man, whom they had reduced in the South
to a state of degradation and ignoranc9 be
neath even that of tho Slave ; and every act
of the party at present is construed by the
Southern wing of the Democracy as justify
ing them in their wicked eflbrts to subvert
and destroy the government. When Dem.
ocracy clears itself of the part it took in
Rebellion and sympathy with treason, it
will be time enough fur its editors to talk
about taxation, Negro Sutfrage, National
Currency &e.
elecctions in Massachusetts
Maryland, Minnesota, Kansas, New
Jarsey, N»tt York, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Michigan, aro over. New York, New
Jeray and Maryland have gone Demc

In Memoriiun.
Whereas, God in his allwise Provi'
dence has been pleased to remove by
death from our midat, Mr. Thomas Kel
ly, an aged and worthy member of the
Session of Unity Congregation in the
ISutler Presbytery of the U, P. Church:
Therefore be it,
Resolved , That in the death of Mr.
Kelly, this Session has lost a faithful and
worthy member, a wise and judicious
officer, and a trusty counsellor ; the
church has lost a useful and woiking
member ; and the family and friends of
the deceased have lost nn affectionate
father and loving husband.
2d, That in this dispensation of Prov
idence wo havo renewed admonition to
prepare for death, and another loud
knock at the door of our hearts—saying,
be ye also ready, for ye know not the
day nor tho hour wherein the Son of
Man cometh.
3d, That these resolutions be entered
on the minutes of the Session, and also,
that a copy be forwarded to the widow
and family of the deceased, and to the
United Presbyterian for publication.

Dean Swift said "all plots begin in
talk. " A Greek aphorism has said the
same thing substantially before him. It
may havo been eaid, .a hundred times by
persons, independent and ignorant of
each other's sayings. It is according to
the operation of the human iniqd, as that
of Shakespeare, akin to this, is :
"How oft tlieeight (iftho rneaDs to do ill i)etd«
JluKm til iloo.l, don#."
And as doing and thinking aro often
expouents of each other, we naturally
and fairly infer from tho quiet exhibi
tion, three or four days ago, of the
thoughts of th# New York WWW, that
they have some parallel in the design and
doings of tho party of which it is the
ablest and truest representative.
The U'olrti shows how tho the Reptib
ticau members of Congress might or rath
er how they will, in a certain contigency
be superceded by the action of the Pres
ident, aDd a Congress composed of South
ern and Northerh Democrats take their
place. This scheme we gave to our read
ers yesterday morning. We now give
bolow the Southern aspect of tho same
case, from the Richmond organ, the 7wt
quirer, with its owu italics :
"Northern sentiment will sustain us in
resisting to tho. lust ixtre.mity that vile
scheme of Co igressional Reconstruction
which anna at the supremacy oj the ne—
l/ro. i hat most infamous conspiracy to
degrade and dishonor the white race, we
must now resist to the last gasp utterly
regardless of the malignant efforts of a
moribund effete Congress to precipitatu
the debasement and ruin of :hc white
race*; provided we keep before the North
ern people the fact that we are wiHiug
to return to the Union upon any condi
tions which do not require the Africani
zation of the South."
The reader will Hotieo that the only
essential 'differences between this rant
and nonsense, and that which was uor
long ago applied to the United States
Government is, that the nejjro now oc
cupies the same position, in the antipa
thy and the railing, that all Northorn
people did then, and that tho "last gasp"
is the ultimatum, iustead of the "last
ditch 'of the rebellion era. But the in
telligent reader knows that in neither
case was there any disposition on the
part of Northern people or Republicans,
to place she Southern people under the
domination of either Yankee or negro,
but simply to maintain the Union on the
basis ef' law and loyalty. Nur is it like
ly, that the fuiy of those, who are with
out loyally aud who openly proclaim or
covertly betray their intention to resist |
law, will frighten them from the position j
and purpose which they have already
msiutaiued at so great a sacrifice.
The backward movement of violence
the World and u.euaced by
the Enquirer will not greatly alarm auys j
body in the North. But it involves re- I
suits, which the blaeks will bo likely io j
legarJ with apprehension, that may lead
to consequences which no man North or
South can contemplate without deep con
cern. The best way for all is to keep to
the course prescribed by law. We have
seen enough of the coutrary course to
make us at least cautious about menacing
ot abetting either violent resisatnee or
violent usurpation.— Pittsburgh Com

MR WELLS, Special Commissioner of
the Revenue, has written a letter to Kug
•ish bond holders, in which he answers
th; question "whether the interest as
well as principal of the five twenty bonds
will b« paid in gold" as follows: " I
would h-ty that I have no doubt whatev
er that all such payments will pe made in
gold. 11 th? law does not beyond a doubt
express this lact, you must remember
that there is no such expression in the
British con. 1 .ol« ot in tho French rents;
and it would be absurd to suppose that
a g r cat nation like the United States is
going to conduct itself, in regard to
principal and interest of its dobt. other
than in accordance with the recognized
laws of commerce and morality "
—Several cases of alleged illegal
voting were before the Courts of New
York on Saturday. George Pox was
convicted and sentenced one mouth to
the penitentiary. Two w«re discharged
one of them showing that he was an hon
orably discharged soldier, aud by act of
Congress was authorized to vote.
The Southern Clontl.
The Worcester Spy makes the follow
ing 4ug; restive extract froin a letter re*|
■ ceived In that city, from a gentleman in
A la bant i :
* * * :: The e'eclions North have
made rebeldom jubilant. Already the
programme is announced that in two
years no Union man will be pormit'ed to
live in the Sollth; that negroes will be
remanded to slavery ; that negro schools
will bo abolished ; that the South will
yat govern; that-repudiation will cer
tainly foltaw ; that New-England will be
reduced to a single State or left out in
the cold ; that New York and Pennsyl
vania, unless they behave, will be requir
ed to accompany New England ; that the
South must be remunerated for her sac
rifices ; that there aro us disunionists ex
cept in New England ; that Southerners
will—as an eminent seeesh physician said
tome —lie, perjure themselves, or do
anything to defeat the Union party.—
Such is the sentiment hero to-day.—
Northern Copperhead journals arc cau
tioning Southern people to have no riots.
The advice is acted upon. The pro
gramme i»-to ofier no personal violence
to white or black until they get the su
premacy ; but if one aunounees himself a
Union man or a Republican, patronize
him no longer; starve him out; ostracise
him ; isolate him ; and if that does not
bring him into subjection, kill him as
soon "as the Presidential election is over.
Northern people, being incapable of such
hatred, cannot conceive such to be the
nature of things, and will not believe it,
but it is truo nevertheless. I will defy
any conscientious Democrat to live one
year in —> — and not change his opin
ions. * * The whites held aloof from
the election here, chiefly on accouut of
the negroes voting; but Union meu l did
not voto for fear of losing their means of
support. Notwithstanding there were so
many negroes in tho city, yet it was the
most quiet election over known hero."

For the Citizen.
".Blind Veritas."
In the days of Veritas tho people were
often troubled with pars onalities, which,
while they may be a relief to the malig
nity of his little soul, yet they are dis
gusting to a reading public. Our policy
has always been to leave such malignity
to itself; by the laws of nature it kills
the possessor ; and no better specimen of
the evil effects of intemperance in this
respect could be found than in the, pcr
sou of Veritas. We will not become the
defender of our Landlords and llestau
rant keepers; they need none. They
are just as good as can be found else
where. Veritas knows he tells what is
not so when ho says they kept houses of
" dissipation." Veritas knows he tells
what is not so when he says the people
remonstrated without regard to party, —
This would be very good party policy and
help to put a face on the anti-license par
ty if it were true, hut there is the "if."
Veritas we presume lei's the truth when
he says he saw people cat rye.brawi and
shorNcake, and if be iutends to travel
of course he will take his ryc-breal and
short cake a'.ong. Certainly such a man
of truth would not call at one of these
houses of "dissipation."
His Honor, Lord Privy Counsel,
should remember that we have a law in
the land that was designed for all, and a
Court to enforce this law. And many
people fail to sec why it is that any thing
that is good in Harmony, Zelienople, and
Saxonburg, shouldu't be good in Butler.
That is what takes us to these places
sometimes. Veritas pities us, but we doa't
suffer much inconveuicnce, we can send
to any of these places, or to Bakej-stown,
and get our bottle filled any day in the
week. The only thing it amounts to is a
matter of private revenge on some of our
j best citizens, who have at great expense
1 complied with the law in furnishing their
; houses for the entertainment of the pub
. lie. The people have got about tired
' paving taxes for tho two week's Court —
ereiy quarter—the principal business of
which is to spend dajs and weekg in lieaiN
ing testimony and petitions of ladies
and gentlemen totlecido whether a man
has room enough, lieds enough, hired
girls enough, stabling enou h, and moral
courage and religion enough, to engage
in what the Honorable Court calls au
" infernal traffic," and then decide that
certain localities shall have the tpecial
privilege of supplying the whole county.
It injures the business of iiutler. Wc
could have had a Democratic jubilee here
if we had ljad license. The Republican
party have bean in power too long not to
be responsible for this state of things.—
Tax-payers thiuk they should be relieved
of this burthen of unnecessary taxation.
Applicants and their Attorneys come in
to Court with the statute book, but are
answered, " Vox populi, vox curia."
But we do not wish to follow after
blind Veritas and be insulting in our
style. The reason why we call him blind
is, that with the law of last Session then
before his eyes, he could exclaim: " H'Adf
position has the Republican party taken
on either side of this question ?" The
people need not go back to platforms It
Veritas were not blind, he would see that
it is better to be honest and not deny any
thing as plain as daylight. Tho blind
creature reminds us of an old woman
hunting her spectaclea when they were
on her nose all the whilo. Hut Veritas
seems to be enraged because a good-heart
ed, honest wounded soldier got Restau
rant license from the last Court. Surely
the Court erred : they should hfivo cons
suited their private counsel,
But " When the blind lead the blind,
both fall into the ditch." And thu3 a
feW reformers who are really good men
(only blind) have led the Republican
Legislatures aud Courts on these wde is.
sues, which we mautiancd in our last,
until we have lost Pennsylvania and New
York,, to say nothing of siballer States ;
this should be monitor enough to all (but
tho bliud) that we are not able to carry
everything. AVe protested six months
ago against tire agitation of this qucss
tiou. Now we see the result. If the
Republican party was organized lor no
higher purpose than to Nationalize the
Constitution aud By Laws of some old
wouiens' tea-pot association, then would
the party be a martyr indeed, for the tea
pot has been badly broken-—(even in
Massachusetts). The say so of self-eon
stituteu Privat* Counsel cannot change
what has been doue, he had better there
fore luakc no more apologies, for all men
are not born blind. But we will not
presume to advise the Blind Counsel.'—
His clients might take umbrage. We
have not done so heretofore ; no word of
Monitor was meant for " Veritas, it is an
old adago that " The King needs no Mon
itor."
We felt that wc were right long before
the eloetions ; and now every person can
see it, (save the blind). Our purpose
was to warn against the sacrificing of the
Republican party (the guardian angel of
American Liberty) upon the altar of this
every perplexing Liquor question—aa old
as Noah's Ark. Since tho Northern
elections tho Rebels have become jubi»
laut, and declare that the Democratic
party will soon bo in power. Some have
gathered up the old manacles. Others
have made out their bill for thciT chat
tels ; and shall we continue to make
them rejoice in tlieir treason ? Lot the
Republican party say to every voter, "wc
have nothing to do with any of these
secondary questions. We repel no man
from our ranks on account of Birth, Re
ligion, Temperance, or any thing of this
kindßut blind Veritas says it was the
citizens, irrespective of party, that made
this issue. There is no use in contradict
ing this, for no person believes it. The
Remonstrance from Butler borough and
vicinity contained Three Hundred and
Eight uamcs —and perhaps One Hund
red Voters among this number. Veritas
mentions four Democrats—and the list is
about exhausted. Good Templars will
never follow the blind and trust their
cause to the Democratic party We only
wish that what Veritas says were true,
and then there could be no party capital
in this question. Veritas saya in conclu
sion : " Let us leave this license question
where we found it—in tho hands of the
citizens and the Court."
In this the self-constituted apologist is
right; and had this been done by our
lust Republican Legislature, and by the
Courts and party generally, we would
have saved boih New York and l'enns
sylvania. All the Democrats in Butler
county that would vote an anti-whiskey
ticket wouldn't make a stool pigeon for
the party. This was proven in tho elec
[tiou for Associate Judgo; and such is
the case throughout the State. The Leg
islature was Republican ; the Court was
Republican ; and the llemonstrators were
Republican. The editors that always
carried a Remonstrance in their hats were
Republicans. We state this because it is
true. Some may glory in it; others feel
•ore. But let no man deoy it. No man
knew it better than Veritas. And as we
have whiskey on the brain, of course we
see snakes ; aud we have often seen them
after running all summer, go blind in the
i fall like Veritas; and then they would lay
i in ambush in the dime of the gutter, and
with the hiss of " dissipation" upon their
tongue, they would snap at every thing
they heard pas« by ; but they wero so
low the poison of their fangs injured
nothing. MONITOR.
A NASBY VERSION OF THE SCRIP
TURKS. —Nasby, writing from his " milii
tsry and biblical institoot" iu Kentucky,
records one effect of the defeat of equal
suffrage in Ohio:
The l-'akulty of the Institoot met next
mornin' for the purpus uv rovisin' the
Scripters. It wuz desided that the word
white shood be inserted wherever necessa
ry, and that the edishen only be yooscd
by the Democracy and Coservatory Re
publikins. Wo made progress, the foler
in' bein' a few uv the change".
"So (Jod creatid a white man iu his
own image."
"Whosoever, therefore, shall confess
me before white men," &o.
"Suffer little white children to come
unto me, for of such is the kingdom uv
Heaven."
Wich last is comfortin', ez it shows
that the distinoshen is kept up through
all eternity. I give these merely as sam
ples. We she! have it finisht in a few
days, aud, ef funds can be raised, shel
publish it. Sich a vet-shun of the Scrip
turs is needed.

For sixteen year* the Humor Doctor l«an been manu

in New Hampshire, where it originated, no remedy for
humors Is so highly prized. Ah eminent physician

:my hands in any kinds of wet Work, and WHS
I obliged to wear gloves in sawing to avoid getting blood
J upon my work. The humor which a > afflicted me was
J probably a combination of Erysipelas and I Salt Rheum.

to use the Humor Doctor I could perceive signs of heal

into ship chandlery stores, that It may find its way to

never be willing voyage without it.
