Smoot CAMERON is again in the field as a candidate for President. Ilia friends-are industriously at work orgimizing their forces to secure his endorsement by the Radical State Convention in 1868. Tus importance whiCh has been given to the negro by hie admission to the priv ileige of suffrage in the South, through the action of Congress, andthe attempt being made to grant him the same "blessing" in the North, gives premier Significance to tire following table, showing the propor'- tion of whites and blacks in the several :Antes of the Union. It is _taken limn the census of 1 . 860, and may be relied upon as being very nearly accurate: ,iOBTIIIIICg lITATFO one negro to 472 whites .1 659 " •" - 443 " _ itt 52 " 127 ' " gl 77 " 25 ". 50 11 . 4 " . 63 116 " 223 " •• 108 " " 445 " 732 " 674 " 152 " 349 " • 151 " 43 " Maine.

In moat of the large States there would be a 'powertnl enough negro vote to more than make up the difference between the two parties, as now' constituted on a white basis, and the organization which would bid , the highest for their suffrage, would be assured of cer tain success for a time. In that event the negro would , virtually dictate the policy- - of' the nation s 'and , the con flict of races, so long continued, would re sult in the mastery of the African. This argument is on the presumption that pub lic opinion Will always remain' as at pres ent, but nothing is surer than if the negro once secures an equality of political rights, his natural arrogance soon create a revulsion against him. that will' react against any party that dependa upon his co-operation for. success. We seta it stated that Speaker Colfax has recently written a letter to some Fenians' expressing great sympathy with their movement, and. giving his views es to the value of "sympathy" to people who are struggling for liberty. He thinks our sym nathy.was of great- service to the Poles, tee Hiingariane, the Cretans anctthe erals of Mexico ; and he infers, therefore, that il l will atm aid the Fenian cause. This; is all very tine • talk, but' not much else. Expressions of symnatby are always grati fying to people who are struggling or suf fering, but in contests for freedom they are worth but little, except as they may in spire hope of more substantial aid, and all such hopes thus inspired generally lead to disappointment. We expressed a great deal of sympathy for the Hungarians, but it never brought them an hour nearer in dependence. The Poles have had the sympathy of the world, but they are mote *roughly the victims of tyranny now than ever.before. Our sympathy for the Fenians has probably encouraced a good many patriotic Irishmen to rash into Can ado, and to attempt a rising in Ireland ; but all they have got by it has bean long terms in the Penitentiary and a still more rigid enforcement of English rale.' 'These resolutions of sympathy are generally nothing more than the tricks of dente iogues, by which they hope to wheedle the credulous into giving them their votes and keeping them in office. We are sorry to say they succeed but too often. TAE Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature which has, been occupied for msny weeks in taking evidence upon the workings of the State Priihibitory Liquor Law, has made its report, virtually re. commending a return to the license sys. tern. The CoMmittee say that all the evidence went to shop that there was mor.'drunkenness,especially in the cities, under the prohibitory law than under the old license system. The experience of 31assach usetta is but another addition to the many proofs previously existing that every endeavor to regulate the public morals, tastes or .passions, by legislation will result in_failure. We have never had much faith, and daily grow more confirm. ed in our belief on the soh' in ,in that I system of governent which p roses to make men more upright . r true patriots by cmpulsory means, whether, as in the case of strong diink, 14 prohibiting its use, or, as the instance of the South, by setting up a standard of !loyalty" against which the instincts of the people revolt, rind forcing them to bow down before it. as the Swiss were obliged to worship Gear ler's hat. TuE Southern papers are naturally-very much rejoiced over 'the :release of Jeff. Davie, and as - a general thing ti matter in a _commendable spirit. 'They say that the act has done more to a spirit of kindness and good - will - hetween the North and South than anythiniwbicli has occurred since the close of the war. Nearly all of them speak warmly of the conduct of Mr. Greeley and Gerritt'Smith in manifesting so much interest io the matter; and in coming foiward persiOnally to give bail for the late Confederate Presi dent. -They ea . y it .ebowd a generosity of heart on the part of two men toward whom the South' has cherished, the most bitter hostility heretofore, as unexpected as it is gratifying. . 'Under Radical rule it fakes 158estae to make one dollar, and twentmine donate to purchase one barrel of flour; -In Dem ocratic times, all .the States were repre sented in Congress, 100 cents made a dol . - lar, and Eve dollars would purchase a bar rel of flour. . I A BODDBR - TURN OP TUE WEIBEL. The Buffalo Courier calls attention to i the fact--equally significant to. Democrats and-Radicals—that since the passage of the Military Reconstruction bills 'scarcely an-election, however petty,hasoccuried, that did not indicate the rapid, decadence of Radicalism. The . New Hatisishire State election took place ad soon . , after the arbitrary legislation- of Ccingress that a proper sense of the total revolution of Re publican principles involved_tilerein did not penetrate the minds of the people. RadiCalism was rebuked even there,. our party gaining - fifteen hundred or 'mole votes over the etection of the year before; but Still the State was not redeemed, nor was the solid Radical - representation in Congress broken. But in Connecticut and: Kentucky the elections were held later anti the significance of the result Cannot be mistaken. In the last, - or Thirty. ninth Congress, these two States elected representatives ns follows : DEll. RAD. Connecticut Kentucky - 5 In the Fortieth or present Cmgreas, the following is the result': DEL RAD Connecticut 3 - 1 Kentucky 9 We need not look fir for the explana tion of this - wonderful change of senti ment. When the elections were held in these States for the Thirty-ninth Congress, the constitutional amendments were ad vertised as the ultimatum of the Radical party, by its orators and by its press. Democrats as persistently pointed out that the disuttionists 'would not be con tent with so mild,a measure, and demand el that Congress, if the amendments were .a finality , should declare them so, in order : that the Southern States might see the -groupd before there. But, while no such pledges were given,the people were hood winked into believing that no severer conditions would he required, and by this chicanery the Radicals secured the Thfr ty.eieth and Fortieth Congressea. The mask was 'then immediately thrown aside ; the miserable pretence set up that the South had rejected the amendments— which had never been offered it as a con dition of admission ; and the infamous system of military rule inaugurated. It-is fortunate that the elections of Connecti cut and Kentucky have occurred at this time. Had these States chosen their rep resentatives last fall they might have also been duped by Radical treachery. Now they have voted.with their eyes open, and the result is a complete reversal of their formerverdict, a thorough condemnation . of the' course of Congress in creating mill :tary satrapies in this -once free country. 'The Radicals have played their cards well in not exposing their bands until the game was secure. The Fortieth Congress is theirs, for which the consolation is that they are responsible for.its Could the voice of the whole Northern peOple be heard to-day, it would tell the same tale of the coming downfall of the mushroom of Radicalism. We must bide our time. The People will not forget and the opportunity will come. • 744 " 3 arhiteg 9 4 .. 3 6. 1,1 " lf wegr's 11 whites s. If ~ CATCH WORDS. . The Cleveland Plak,deater. is right in . saying that the influondas the Radical fac tion has gained over• the popular mind is more owing, to,the ingenious use of catch words than to.the - strength of their argil ments. The latter are weak and superfi cial ;. but their Catch-words and smooth phrases about liberty, and! equality often take with men who, if they rightly under stood the designs these words and phrases are intended to cover upi: would turn from those with whom they now asso elate politically, with disgust and abhor- Ten oe. ,Such epithets as "copperhesda," "rebel sympathizers," Cc., applied to men simply because they were in favor of maintaining the. Union Ond the guarantees of right in the Constitution, in opposition to the Rad ical destruotives, have frightened many from the support of the men and measures they knew to be right and really conserv ative of liberty and equality. And now, the Radical leaders and journals, in order to impose negro suffrage and white dis franchisement, are making a great parade of the catchwords 'manhood suffrage," "impartial suffrage," and the like, when their proposition to invest the blacks with the suffrage and deny it to thou sands of whita.nien, is, most degrading to true manhood,, and, both partial and upjust. Another trick is,to.pretend that to make a distinction between:whites and blaolorin regard to the suffrage, is , to perpetuate caste in this country. This is utterly false .and shows the Weakness of the came that - stands in need of such falsehoods to sus tain it. There is and never was in this country any such thing as caste as com monly understood, and as it exists in In dia. As well might it be pretended that •it is perpetuating caste to denythe suffrage 'to women, • to minors, and to aliens' until after a residence of five years in the United States. Civil law bas not made, nor can it abolish, the distinction of race—the wide and impassible gulf that - nature has fixed between the white and black racer. Ilu man laws that attempt to override those which nature has established. are fraught with infinite mischief, even to those they are made to benefit.- Ora DEBT AND TAXES .—The New York Evening Post, Radical, has an interesting, article under this head, showing the taxes which individuals and families must pay this year. As oar share of the na tional indebtedness is the same in Penn sylvarda, in proportion to population, and our State and municipal burthens also in equal proportions, the-same figures giv en by the Post will apply here with equal correctness, The post says of New York, ."tbe population of the State in 1865 was 3,831 4 727. Estimating The present' popu -lation„in rotted numbers, at four millions, every man, woman and child in the State muat pay this year $20,50. The largest vote,ever polled in this State was" 731,010. Estitnatin`g the present number of electors at 750,000, each . elector must pay this year $146,66. Th enu ml:)er of land owners in the State in 1855 . was 373,998. It the numb ,bas now reticha 400.000, every larid ow er is taxed this yeailS27s. The last camas gives the number of families "in the State tsa 780,031. If there are now 800,000, each family. is taxetl, this Year V 47.50." Tut Clearfield Republican is,""disloyal" without a parallel. It actually bits the annuance to speak of-Jeff.- Davis as "This 'gentleman: o • Enectriged this daring ant of treasoniwil Audi nett enpect to see some vile Capperhead'ehei3t- coniudt 'the unpardonable' dime of speaking' of 'him as Mr. JeirersonLiayir,:okJeffrosenPavir i Eft. Sons paper is - expressing surprise that Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, after his unmistakable - services to , the "causo of progress;" should be denounced with such unmeasured, vituperation because uf his opposition ‘to the,proldbition poliey;', 'But, this'involves a strange fergetfulrietts of the uintit course of tarmac - ism. There it but 'oriii`sin a man can commit in the.minds of thew thorough-going extremists,—and that is to -differ from them in opinion. All past services pass-for nothing. - Argument, howevcr cogent, is worse than wasted. Any man who questions their policy must be hunted down and 'silenced. No matter how it its done—the-end will justify any means that may be used for attaining it. Abuse, slander, denunciation,--impeach meat of motives, are among the usual re- sorts of this class - of crusaders, and they wean employed with ruthless recklesinews and ferocity. Gov. Andrew is only Gape riencing the fate of all who have dared to withstand the march of eltraism.: The first article in the creed of extremists is that they are abselutelyind unmistakably rigid; the second i 9 that every man who differs' from them- must necessarily be hopelessly and culpably wrong. The only consolation in the matter is that it is only on rare occasions that this class of men come into the ascendent and get control of publics affairs. As a general. thing the mass of men are governed by reason,.prio tical wisdom and common sense. - A WORD, TO. BozmnpLnzßs.—Speaking of the probable effect of negro suffrage upon the financial interests of the country, Henry Clay Dean recently said : "I could wish bondholders no worse' luck than to fall into the hands of ne 'gratis, who want cheap foal and raiment, who will' vote dovin tariffs and taxes. Then-what becomes of the public debt ?" There is a pregnant moaning in those few words which holders of bonds would do well to ponder carefully. With the in corporation of the vast mass of ignorant negroes among the vptericif this country, there will be serious danger of repudiation, whdnevir ate time'of financial depression the burthen of taxation shall press heavi ly upon the poorer classes: , It cannot be• expected that the negroes be re straiised by any fastidious sense 'of honor from voting to shift the burthens of the gov ernment from their shouldsirs. The cry of cheap clothing . and,cheap goods in gen eral will be what, Viey will' listen to most eagerly. Let the bondholders seriously reflect upon the effect which unrestricted negro.suffrage will have upon their seouri , • ties. WHAT IT COBTS.—The sYsteto of milita ry government which the • Radicals have introduced. into the Sttuth ern States, in defianes of all constitution al law P and to the destruction of our the ' ...ork of government, costs,according to their own figures, the enormous Sum of $150,- 000,000 a year. When the country was under a Democratic admiuititration, also in time of peace, its whide expense Was but an average per year of some $60,000,- 000. CAu the people long be blind to the significance of these : figures ? When we were engaged in war, it was no time to :count the cost. Ilut now the war is over, ,the ideas of those who held the purse ,strings of the nation shonledeacend to the moderate requirements of peace. It is monstrous that the War Department should consume two anti one-half times the amount necessary for our total expens es, when nothing is gained thereby but aggravation of old sores, the overthrowof just law, and our disgrace in tbe'•eyes of the world. - Tae Cleveland Herald,, Radical as it is, is down on Thad. Stevens In a late num ber it thus pitches into him : - 'Stevens has come to he a mere marplot. The country-could pardon him,on account Of his age, if his mischievous intermed dling affected only individual. interests ; but when the peace of the country and the honor of Congress are at' stake, the offense becomes so heinoui ae to demand 'the indignant protest of every man who is honest in his endeavors at reconstruction, or who, believes in the fulfillment of a de liberate pledge. Stevens has become a sour old man seeking confiscation. of rebel property In revenge for the loss of his iron mill, and thoroughly embittered at the re ception of his last speech on confiscation, Which Congress granted a reading at the Clerk's desk, but which fell on the country 'venerally as noiselessly and as flat as a rotten squash." This is all very well, but we are afraid that when the Rump convenes and Ste vens clacks his whip, the Herald will crouch beneath the lash, and meekly fol low italeader: The Cincinnati Enquirer keeps it be- fore the people that 2,500;000 Union votes have 216 members of Congress, while 3, - 500,000 Democratic votes have but sixty Members- Well, what of it ?—rrmes. There is this about it : . I. It storm or should stop, - the assertion of ignoramuses that the people of the eciuntry ern opposed to the President's restoration policy. They are not ; but a majority of a million. are in favor of it. It ahow4 that the pretended . repre sentatives of the people no longer rep resent their will, brit flagrantly misrepre- sent it. 3. It intimates that there is something rotten in Denmark ; something that must be corrected ; or else we must abandon all claim to he considered • a country under Democratic institutions. If '2,500,000 votes are to rule 3,500,000 votes, the sootier it is understood the better. • - DEMOCRATIC Vicroarcs.--At, the munici pal election in Williamsport, Lycoming county, on the 15th, Dr. W. P. Logan, the Democratic candidate for mayor, was elec ted by 78 majority- r -a gain of 207 votes since last spring. This is a most signal triumph,' and entitles the Democracy -of that little city to unbounded praise. On the -same day the Democracy of Wilkes Barre, • Luzerne- county, elected FB ark J.-B: Stair to the mayoralty, over ' I. E. B. HarVey„thepreserit mayor, by 'majority—a gain of 408., Last year Harvey's majority was' 40u. This is car:, tainly a surprising and gratifying result, and from it and similar vietories.eliewhere in the State,'we feel confident that Radi calism will fall irrecoverably at the next general election. . .

This is the first time' since its incorpora tion-that the Democracy have carried the town.

In -short, become po litical l'useyitea, and 'always when they pray to Mara their faces to the Asst." Thelappearance of a dozen 'Democratic members of Congress from Kentucky and Connecticut, at the next session, will be a most seasonable reinforcement in that body, and will be a*deelded earnest of the change of sentiment which is going on all over the country. . If the late Congress had done one-fifth as mubb to restore the Union as it did to keep it in its present wretched condition, the restoration would now be complete and the country comraratively happy and prosperous. _We could not, by any possibility, so far insult - the people of the South as to inti mate.or even suspect, that they 'are capa ble of breaking their oath of allegiance as remorselessly as the Radical members of Congress violated their oaths of office in voting for the military law. The New York Journal of Commerce, representing the-great commercial inter ests of that city, has the following concise reference to Mr. Thaddeus Stevens "This man is a nuisance to the whole country, North and South." It is said that Governor Hawley, of Con necticut, for several days, after the elec• tion, had crape upon his door-knob, to which was attached this fine stanza, not from Byron : ..To all my friends I bid adieu ; A suddener death you never knevi ; While leading the Radical muleto drink, Ile kicked and killed me:quickera a wink." The annual per capita tax in Great Britain and Ireland IR 89.50 ; New York 22 75 ; in Indiana 25.77, and in Pennsyl vania 33.231. •It will be seen, the refore, that our citizens -pay more than three times and a half heavier taxer than the subjects of 'Queen Victoria. We can no loner point to the people of England and call them a tax-ridden people. Our bur den_is nearly four times as heavy. - Suicides of prominent men have been very frequent of late years. Within two years Preston King, Senator James 11. Lane, of Kansas, and Collector Stone, of Columbus, all leading and influential Rad.. icals, holding high official positions, have passed out of life through the dark &tor of self-slaughter. Hon. Elijah Rise, mem ber of Congress from Kentucky, is now added to the catalogue. . ' Thurlow Weed, in the Commercial, is telling us how and why he quit the Radi cal company. He says : "We were weary of and disgusted with the men - who had *risen. in diecordent and disturbed times, to the management of public affairs. It was a day of small, cheap men—the saplings and hoop-poles of party--;thrown to the surface in a storm. Our State Con ventions were controlled by secret leagues, whose manipulators lay around Albany during the winter, dispensing offices and debauching the Legislature," &c. There are two aorta of villeink who seem to us deserving of special reprobation : 1. Those who•made money by fleecing the Government during the late Civil War, and whose crime aggravates robbery by treason ; 2. Thode whn say they know where and by whom such villainies were perpetrated, yet have never denounced them to the proper authorities, and do not now accuse them distinctly and by name. —N. V. TriLune. A few days ago the Philadelphia Ledger, in an able article oti the "Exteniiioti of the United States," said : "The dreams of universal monarchy have been a' success in the United States, so far as they are' founded on military force, instead of the "natural love and good will of voluntary agreement," We think the success has been remarkable. Ten' States of the Union are governed by the sword and bayonet, and volut4 wry agreement has no more to do with the government than it has with Aviatrix or Russia, nor is there a particle of good will towards this grincl4ng Ilepotism.—Doylatown Democrat. AN I/ mimosa Law.—The New York Wcirld calls attention to a most important law passed by the late Congress, as an amendment to the 19th section of the In ternal Revenue act, in the - following words : "No suit for the purpose of re straining the assessmeht or collection of any tax shall be maintained in any court." This virtually subjects the pro perty of all chinos to he confiscated by exhorbitant taxation. Assessors and Col lectors are relieved from all restraint and can levy their exactions without control. Saab vast power, conferred in a form so absolute and irresponsible, is truly alarm ing, and cannot h but lead -to much oppres sion and injustice. it may, and most probably will be, ,converted into practi cal The New York Times, in the course of an editorial upon the prevalence of cor ruptioniats at Albany has the following : "If corruption for the next ten years gath ers strength and impunity as it has for the last ten, we might just as well put up everything with which law-making has anything to do at public sale. A Legisla ture conducted on the basis of an auction room would be quite as honest and more useful than one where everything is don trolled by secret bribery and Corruption." Perhaps the question may be an "imperti nent one, when confession is so nahesita latingly made, but we would like to en quire of the Times by what party, and under the administration of what set of ideas, the change has been effected ?
