Miss Anna - Dickinson, in her glowing
wrath, said at the assemblage of the so
called "Southern Loyalists" in Pitifadel•
phis. ebe •Itrould tell the men of the con
vehtion that their great party, from lit,ioe
to California, was devoted to black suf.
frage I" The white voters of this country
stood .in lit , le need of Vis . information
from Miss Dickinson. They already hail
an abundance of proof of the fact, and if
they bad not the convention would' have
furnished them all that was needed. The
sentiment of its members was pithibited
in the following resolution, offered ,by
Mr. Charles A. Moss, of Missouri, and
enthusiastically received by the
Gala :
Resolved, That the Clumittee on Item.
'lotions be instructed to prepere a report
and resolutions favoring the ennferriig nt
suffrage upon all citizens, teithout regard to
race or color.
This of Niel would be sufficient to
develop the real of jest of the convention,
but as if ti. make their purposes still rerro
clear, they issued an address in which
occurs thia passage : "There can be no
safety for the country, unless the govern
ment, by natural and appropriate legisla
tion, enforced by national authority, shall
confer on every citizen in • the Stales we
represent the American birthright
o im
partial suffrage and equality before the
law!" .
The animus rhich actuated the conven
tion will 'be seen by some extracts
km. the -speeches of a few of its, leading
participants. Parson. Brownlow, whom
our Erie city Radicals tendered a public
reception. , said '1 am the advocate of
negro suffrage ; if I have after death to
go either to hell or to heaven. I shall
prefer `to go with loyal negroes to hell
than with traitors to heaven." Fred.
Douglass demanded_ "a , thorough and
complete incorporation of this whole
black element into the American, body
politic, with a right to the jury -boa the
witness box and the ballot•box." Ben But,
ler, whom the Radicals of Erie have time
and agai invited to speak here, said: "We
armed the negro with the musket when
he was fit to use it ; shall we not and him
with the ballot ? As a matter of-self-pro
tection. as a' matter of economy, the
Deem must have a vote." Jack Hamilton
who was announced as one of the speakers
at the 10th of September meeting, con
tended that "we must give the freedmen
all the rights of other men." Referring
to the appearance. in the procession. of
Fred. Douglass linked with Theodore
Tilton, Governor Yates. of Moots. ex
claimed that he felt as if the sunlight of
Heaven glowed on his bead brighter than
before. He would be proedor. byer. to
Deuglass than with Andy Johnsen. The
convention in which these utterances
were made, it will be recollected. was got
up tinder' the auspices of the Re - Heals
,
amply to ndynnee their party ends. All
the leaders of that faction were present
;and lent their encouragement to the
measures of the convention. General
Geary was an honored guest, was received
witb.epplaulus. and. from that day to this.
Ifes never said' a word to show that he
r;nes.nnt approve of the hinettagseused in
his presence. On the contrary. during
Butler's visit to. Harrisburg a week or two
ago. he met him cordially. walked arm in
arm with hint nn the streets, end enter
tained him ma his guest.
Yet, lest anine of the _opposition might
be disposed to allege that the Convention
referred , toMiti not speak the sentiments
of- their party. we intend to wake the ev
ideas* so strong as to the positirn of their•
re4ty leaders. that 'none • can in honor
dispute it: H 're are some choice extracis
from- the speeles of men whom they will'
hardly deny to be • representatives of
the orgin;zation in Pennsylvania :
John W. Geary. lispnblican candidate
for Governor. said in a speech near Har
risburg: When the question of neer*
suffrage c9mes up. as it will probably in
three or four ye4re. I SHALL BE READY
TO ; MEET IT. AND I WILL PAY I AU
NOT PREPARED To. DENY THAT
RIGHT! OE VOTING TO THE COL
OREre 'MAN."
Theft Stevens, the Radieal leader in the
Federal
House of R.presentatives, said in
pre,och at Bedford " THE GREAT
ISSUE TO BE IiPZT AT • THIS BLEU
THE QUE 7 .TION OF NEGRO
RIGHT."
John W.Torney. their foremost party
editor. declared at Lebanon : " Enter
taininz very clear and definite opinions
on this subject. I do not hesitate to state
that I believe the true solution of all oar
complicats and the lastiog protection
-Your free institutions. is to confer
surrogt upon American ciiizens of whatever
treed: (der or nativity. If this makes me a
radical: I am a radical, and I glory in the
name."
Cot McClure, another of their most
pratinPot men in this State, lately PAM
"TFITS NATION CANNOT SURVIVE
THIS SBA HELFSS DISCRIMIvATION
AN ACCOUNT OF COLOR AND RACE;
THERE MUST BE PERFECT EQUALI
TY BEFORE THE LAW."
Sts.pht;n Congressman from
thelBth district, in a speech at Wellshoro.
said: "If I could make the NEGRO the
Equal of the WHITE MAN by voting hi m
the Elective Fr nchise I would do it so
quick it,would mitke your head swim I"
TOMWilliams. Congre.eman froth the
Pittsburgh district, said, a few Os ago
that " a negro has as much right to vote
as an Irishman, and more," for which he
wa; heartily applauded by his Radical
audience. Another ➢lember of Congress
W. H. Koontz, asserts that " the time
must comes _ion when all men, regardless
o► color, or race, must be • qual in every
respect." These men are the ex , onents
of Ridicalism in Penosylvanis, and the
etsctrin. a they promu'gate are those o 1
nine•tenths of the party.. G W. Scofield
'is their intimate friend, follows their lead
and undoubtedly endorses their position.
What sublime impudence must a paper
possess, which, like the . Gazette, with a
full knowledge of all the facts, has the
assurance to tell its readers that negro
suffrage is not an issue in the canvass?
Woo in the face of the utterances we have
furnished; will dispute that "every man
who votes for Geary or Scofield votes as
trstiocsly for negro suffrage and negro
equality as if they were printed on his
ballot ?"
The Maine majority is whittled down to
26037, 'and is still falling. The Demo

CI - merest appropriated NO 110 . N . AT to pay
it."—,Di patch
Immediately upon reading - the.editorial
of which the ttboie is a portion, we set to
work at hunting up the facts, with a view
of mwking the proper correction, if it
eh - pld turn oat that we hwd published a
misstatement. We find. hitrever. that.
ir stead of the anserver having made any
error. it is the Dispatch- that 'Wes " Wan
dered." MIA that in a Moat " ridiculous"
manner. - •
The first enitstmentof negroes was mad‘
is 1864, when they were admitted into
the service without bounty, and without
the
_expectation of receiving - any. In
July. 1866. Congress pissed a law giving
them $300; in addition to their regular
pay. Whether this is properly lo be
styled as. ."extra bounty" is a
mere matter of taste, and we' eave it
for the public to decide as it • onny ace
fit. The white soldlers who entered the
army in 1861. .also enlisted without honntits. a
did•sonie of those of 1802. - In August
last Congress adopted a law for 'The ex
pressed purpose of equalizing bounties, in
which those who bad enlisted in the
early . part of the war, and bad served
for three years, were given $lOO, and for
two years. $5O.
This is a concise statement of the twep
laws, which the Dispatch will not dispute,
after it has read them.. Now let us see
the precise nature of these measures
The blacks served at - the most no more.
than two years, end in some cases not
that long. For this they get the liberal
sum of $3OO, besides their regular pay.
The "veteran" white soldier: who served
three years is to receive only $lOO., or
$2OO less than the negro who was a
shorter period on duty. The " veteraa"
who served two years receives only $5O,
or $250 Jets than the negro. We put it.
to our eotemporary to answer, without
quibbling or tergiversation, whether this
does not, show the rankest injustice to
wards the white, and discriminate in favor
of the black ? -
The Dispatch says further :
"The second blunder is in the assertion
that Congress appropriated "no money to
pay the extra bounties to white soldiers
It did not appropriate any specific sum
but it appropriated whatever amount
might be necessary , from funds io tho
Treasury not otherwise appropriated " _
Our neighbor in this paragraph virtually

In plainer words, the negro could get
his bounty at once without trouble, btu'
the whit• "boy in blue" was compelled
to run the risk of obtaining his when the

the matter knows that for gme time it

Treasury would be able to pay the errs

determination that other indebtedness
should be left unpaid rather than the
soldiers should be kept out of their clues.
that he has been 'able within the past
few weeks - to announce his.readiness to
meet their claims. -
Our readers wilt.perceive dist the mat.

negro bounty. Of this, we leave, as we
said befoie, each -one ti judge for him•
self, though we cannot resist • the hug•
gestion that as the bounty in each,case
was additional to the sum originally
agreed to be paid, at is difficult to under
stand why one kind of bounty does not
deserve to be denominated " extra" quite
as well as the other.
The tenor of the. Dispatch's article was
designed to create the impression that no

mate to our neighbor that perhaps it
will be as welt hereafter to refrain from
imputing " ridiculous blunders" and
"mischievously false assertions" to its

whether its own porposted " corrections"
will not themselves need correcting.

SAVE THE HEPUBLIC.
A Radical triumph at this fall's election
in the great Middle and Western States,
the Lancaster fatelngmar says, would
be followed by the impeachment of Presi•
dent Johnson at the next meeting -of
Congress. This would be hailed by the
Kings E rrinces and Aristocracy of Europe
as the first step towards the downfall of
Republican government. The Emperor
of France would find some fresh excuse
for keeping his troops in Mexico, whence►
they cou.d readily be
.moved into Texas
and-other Southwestern States ; and Eat
land-would embrace she favorable opttor
tunity to give us trouble on our Northern
border. With 'our Chief Magistrate a
prisoner in the hands of malignant
Radicals who are intent only upetr:ids

from Foreign Powers who would gladly

strike the name of this Great Republic
from the list of rations. The Conserva
tive voters have it in their power toaave
the R.publto. Let every man of them in
Pennsylvania vote for Helmer Clymer
and it will be raved.
While cheers were giveit frequently at
Pittsburg, for Butler, and the Radical
Congress, it is not, recorded that any
cheers were given for Gen. Grant. The
fact- that the great chieftain accompanied
the President in his Western tour kills
him in the estimation of the " Rad.cial"
heroes. Butler, of course, would attempt
to prevent any detnonstration in favor of
Grant. lie never can forgave Grant for
giving him the title of •• Bottled. up"

First lot us see about the voting business
Who first denied the soldiers of Pennsylvania
the right-to vote in the field? Durirg the
Mexican war, which wait conducted by a Dem
ocratic Natioual and State admiXlstration.
the soldiers• of Pennsylvania voted in the
field, and no objection was made to their voles
being received and counted. When the war
which lately ended began, no Democrat ques
tioned the • validity of the Law under which
the soldiers of Pennsylvania had heretofore
voted.' in the first election which was held
in this State after hostilities commenced there
were two candidates for sheriff in the city of
Philadelphia as usual. .0n the home vote 41
the city the Republican 'candidate had a ma
jority, but when the Hoye in Bine," who
werebattling fur the Union down in front,
were heard`fram, it was, found that they hal•
cast votes enoogh'for the .Democratic candi
date to elect him. Wh•t did the Republicans,
who clamor so much about the right of the
solders to vote, dot They went to work
straightway, to procure $ decision of the en

under which they voted. Tapp carried their

Ideate to stive brietie and candidly the facts;
of the mall?, so that none need ho deceiref..
The first Act of Congress was passed in the'
spring of MIS. and went into operetioa in
the fall of that year. It provided that all
pens ns who deserted from the army, or
tailed to report, when .draffei, within o sped
fled time, ehould be. regarded as hazing for
feited the rights of citizenship; and be there
after di-qualified from extrel4ing the privilege
of suffrage. Under this law' a large number
of persons were prevented from • voting lasi
aqd several who regarded - themselves ws
aggrieved brought suite against the election
officers. Theme suits came np Vesaeoliveit
Wore 'the C.urts 'of Pranktili, Bradford,
Centre and Boboyllrill collage-, and in every
instanedit wa. &Gillet that the law is nom
stitogonal and inoperative. The Centro donnty
case was tried before a Republican Judge.
The R !diceis of the State soon became sat
isfied that the law of' Csegress was erne rains,
and, in the tripe of advancing their i tercets,
they last spring secured the passage of an act
by our State Legidatnre almost - similar in
nature. Tho Franklin county case bad in the
meantime been carried up to the Supreme
Court for final decision. and it was the coin •
mon opinion of the lawyers that its verdict
-would be rgalost the Congressional act. The
State bill was taken before Gis - v. Curtin for
his el - gesture. but he refused' to sign
giving at his reason that it •e, improper to
enact a - new law while the e thj•cte on which' it
treated were. pending in the Sturm° Court.
This rare act of honesty on his part drew
down upon him the denunciation of the Rad
icals. and he was at length relowantly forced
to give his assent to the bill before the Su
peens - 4s Court had rendered its decision. We
have always believed, and now believe more
strongly than ever, ' , that the golettpuroose of
the State bill was to aid the Radicals in this
eleciioo. They knew full well that-it was tin
-constitutional, but conidderins. that it Could
not be brought up for judicial examination
before the election,lthey determined to enact
it nevertheless, leaving its legtlity , to be deci
ded after its•pisrpose had been accomplished.
Shortly . after the State hill had become a
law, the Supreme Court decided the Franklin
county cue. The end is ctcmposed of five
members, two of whom• are 'Republicans and
three Demscrats. Its opinion was' unanimous
to the following ant :
L Officers' of election have'noauthoiity
to try _s question of alleged desertbn.
2. A person alleged to be a deserter from
the army.oan only be deprived f f his right to
Tote after a trial and conviction by a Court
Martial.
. .
The Court clone 'their opinion with :this
language: 4 . It folldis - that th , judgment of
the Court below instil° case stated,. (against
the law) was right. l The plaintiff not having
been Convicted of desertion andiailure to're
turn to the eervice, or-to report to a Provost
'Marshal, and not 'having been sentenced to
the penalties and forfeitured of the Taw, ;was
entitled to-vote " "
This decision, it mast be recollected, effects
the State law just the same as that of Con
gress. The qt:mations involved in each are
precisely the elms. .Both cenfeemi the election
officers the right to refuse the vote of an
alleged deserter; and both are in violation of
that feature of the • Csnetilution which Pro
vides that no person shall be adjudged guilty
i .
of an.offence without trial b foie a proper
Whims% It therefore follow that neither is
.binding in its character, so far imPennsylltanitt
is concerned, and for an electietOonard•to re
fuse the vote of a man upon the mere allega
tion of . another' that he in a deserter. or he
cause his name is iiinted as cinch, or appears
thus in the Provost ‘Marshal's books, will

The above our readers may lernd upon, as
being wholly reliable: and we challenge any
person to eowrovert its general featuree: We
understand that printed nets of altered de
peters have been sent from !burets` urg to our
county officers, for use on the day of e'ection.
No person can tell how many errori!they co,-
Min, and the probability is, that through them.-
thousands of ;raters will be deprived of suff
rage who performed their duty Vithfulry in
the
, war. It ie suffiCieni to say that they are
of no more legal value 1 than sir p i nch white
paper, and that all, 'persons deprived of their
votes because their' names are on the lists,
can have redress against the etc:UOll officers.
The latter cannot legally refuse - the vote- of
any person entitled to suffrage b e y the Consti
tution, without inctirring the risk of, punish
ment for no doing. ' We eineerely regret the
course which the Radical organSare pursuing
upon this question., Through their influence
many election boards will doubtless be led to
disregard the Supreme Court's decision, and
Lay themselves liable to prosecution and con
