The political campaign upon which 'we
are about entering is one-of the most impor
tant that boa ever occurred in the State. It
virtually decides the Presidential contest of
next year, for "as Pennsylvania goes, so goes.
the linim." The in4ationa on , every able
point to a more, encouraging prospect for
the success of Democratic principles than
we have had in a number of years. ' Thad:-
dens Stevens, the great Radical leader, says
Pennsylvania is likely to gO against - the
Radicals this fall, and he is the last man who
would utter such iv prediction unless the
sins of the times were so untnislakeablY
clear its to allow of no other "conclusion.
We roe win:the victory if we use the right
ful exertion, and if Democrats are one-half
as earnest in the cause as they profess,: they
will not allow despondency and inaction
again to prevent the supremacy of out prin
ciples:
Determined to do our share in the work,
we have concluded to furnish the Observer
at the following low rate: -
One copy, three months - - som.
Five copies; •- " - " - - - 2.50
Ten copies, " • " - 5,00
Twenty copies," • ' " - - - 9.00
These prices barely - cover the expense. to
us, trail we are only induced to offer them in
the hope.lhat by the wider circulation which .
the paper may secure; we shall be enabled
still further to promote the cause which lies
so near to the. hearts of all true Democrats.
SuborrZerx eon tommence any time prcrioni to
Me Artion, and may rely upon baying the
paper prtimpthr discontinued at the expira
tion of the period 10 which they haVe paid.
At these moderate figures it ought not to
he a difficult task to secure a subscription of
two thousand extra copies for the Observer
between now and the day of election. We
hope our friends in every part Of the dis
trict will see the importance of obtaining the
widest possible circulation for the paper, and
go to work at .one to help on the move
ment. The emergencies of the crisis de
mand the individual effort of evert- man and
woman who tiels an interest in hernocratic
principles. See, that your neighbors are
supplied with sound doctrines, and let them
obtain an understanding of •the issues In
volved in the contest. If there is a luke
warm Democrat near you, who does not
now receive his county paper; induce him
to sulAcribe for it three months at least. It
will revive his zeal in the cause, and may ,
make of him an earnest and effective worker.
Furnish Your Republican neighbor with a
copy, and let him see what the measures of
his party leaders have done and are doing
to damage MI - interests. There are hosts of
Republicans who stand hesitating as to their
duty, end who only need to become thorough
ly acquainted with Democratic principles
and arguments, to become hearty adher
ents of our cause. .

Did the black then arise as be ought,

All his masters were far from hbi track; •-;

NEGRO SUFFRAGE..
We make thelollawing extracts from the
able and convincing speech of Gen. Geo. W.
Morgan. at Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday
night„August 31st. After referring to the
campaign in Ohio as of surpassing Import
ance, he adds:
"It is tree, :indeed, that Radical leaders
seek to consign the white people of ten States
to negro domination. But, my countrymen,
while our own homes are-on tire, we cannot
stop to rescue those of our neighbors, which
are being consumed by the flames. It is of
Ohio that. I propose to speak ; it is to the
reason and patriotism of Ohioans that I ap
peal. •
PEOPOSMON TO PLACE MUTE MEN UPON AN
• EQUALITY W/ITLI NE:URGES.
Shall our government he changed? .Shall
Ohio cease to be a government of white men!
Shall the Constitution be so amended as to
make a white-negro--a mulatto government!
These are. the questions, . citizens, yon are
called upon to answer. This is the issue you
must decide on the second Tuesday . in Octo
ber. The issue is grave. The result may be
doubtful. - Order Is breaking into chaos.
Wrong is triumphant. Corruption is en
throned in power ; and more dangerous than
all, the people evince a certain indifference as
to the dzsorderi which threaten them. Every
evil can be guarded against; every crime
can be punished except that of suicide; for
if the people desire to destroy themselves
they have the poWer to do so, and there is
neither preventive nor cure. This; - men of
Ohio, is the issue you are called" imott to de
cide. If ctilsbed,.lt will be by - the work of
.your own lands; and if impoverished, it will
be by your own votes. For, if bent upon
your own degradation, no limier - can save
you. If unequal to being free, you wish to
surrender your manhood;' if unworthy of
being white, you wish to adulterate your race
you have the power to do so.
'SUFFRAGE A POLITIC AL AND NOT A NATURAL

But it is said that the want of superior. in
telligenee in the negro is the result of slave
ry. Notio. His condition as a slave was
better than that of his kin in Africa--the ne
gro slave in Carolina was the superior of the
idng in Congo, for to a limited degree he bad
improved during his residence of eight gen
erations in America. It Was not slavery but
nature which'made the black man inferior to
the white. The Romans held slaves, but they
were white men made slaves by the fortune
of war. In intellect, In manhood, they were
the peers of their conquerors, end many of
them were distinguished as men of-letters,
and when made free and admitted to the rights
of eitizenship,they were the equals of the Ro
mans:in fact as well as in name.
Since the existence of his race there has
never been a negro historian • and in all jime
will there ever be? but than ks tolhe inscrip
lions on the pyramids of Egypt; to the re
searches of the archeologist, we can trace the
negro back dining a period of four thousand
years, and as he was in Africa then. so he is
in Africa to-day- l -a benighted savage, a cruel
barbarian who makes a barter 'of his own
- race and blood. His government is and al
ways has been despotic ; and -the best evi
dence that he Is incapable of self-government
is the fact that in his native country he never
attempted its exercise ; and his experiment in
Hayti liasbeen an ikeillationfrom anarchy to
despotism.
It may be a misfortune, but it is not a crime,
nor even a fault, for one race to be inferior to
another; but it is a serious faet, a practical
truth, Which we, a people who claim to be
capable of. self-government, cannot safely dis- .
regard.
AYSICA AND Eunors.
Only two gun shots distance separate the
coast of Africa from that of Europe, and yet
what a moral intinity divides the one front
the other. From the creation of its inhabi
tants, the greater portion of Africa has been
sunk in savageism, without one ray of civili
zation to soften the monotonous gloom. Tyre,
Egypt, Carthage, were the - homes of fair
skinned faces of men, who attained a high
civilization ; but south of the deserts there
always has been barharie.darknm. On one
side of the straits of Gibraltar, religion, the
arts and sciences flourish, while•to the south
ward of the opposite shore, heathenism is su
preme the Christian's God is unknown, and
the most enlightened of the negro kings com
memorate': his birthday by bathing icy a pool
.of human blood.
AND WUAT OF HAITI? -
Let us for a moment, my friends, leave the
negro in Africa, and glance at his condition
on the beautiful islander liayti; where under
The auspices of mulattoes who had been ed
ucated in Paris, he attempted to establish a
Negro Republic, based upon the ideas of the
Freneh Revolution. The mulattbes combined
-with the pure negrces to extirpate the whit°
race, who formed but a small minority of the
population. A war of races followed, and
the whites fled from the island or were ex-.
terminated.
But the war of races had only commenced:
The mulatto, who bad hair on his head• and
the blood of the white man in his iteins, de,
spised the negro, who had-neither. And cui
his side the negro hated the mulatto because
he was no longer black. War ensued. • The
mulattoes were in the minority, but their su
perior intelligence gave them the advantage
over the negroes, although the latter excelled
them in physical strength.
At length peace was made on the. basis of
separation. The island was divided the
negroes on one half, the mulattoes on the
other. And what of the black Republic ? It
became a Republic ruled by an-Emperor.
Republican_with a titled nobility—despotism
succeeded anarchy, and the indications are
that the negroes of Hayti will by degrees re
solve themselves back into the barbarism of
Africa.
This, my countrymen, is not a question of
mere speculative philosophy, but one of stern
and practical reality, r 4atestion which no
statesman should dts
- If it be true that the negm i 3 incapable of
self-government, shall we deliberately confer
upon four millions of blacks rights they can
not comprehend and Privileges they cannot
safely exercise?
DO you believe, my friends, that the black
and White races can live together in the same
country on terms of equality?, If you do so
believe, permit me to invite your attention to
the opinions of some of the most eminent
of American statesmen. You are all aware
that Jefferson and.3ladison, as. well as Clay
and Lincoln, deprecated the existence of
slavery, and that they all declared that the
kings of England, and not the people of the
United States, were responsible for its exis
ence. :Mr. Jefferson said: " I regard nothing
as beirig more certain in the future than that
slavery will be abolished, but it is not less
certain that the blacks and whites can never
live together on terms of equality." * • •
"Their remaining in the State on terms "of
equality would - produce convulsions which
would probably never end but in the exter
mination of the one race or the other."
Elindlaiviews were entertained by 'Madi
son and Clay, and were aftervkards indorsed
by Abraham Lincoln.
In his reply to , Judge Douglas, in the Otta
wa debate, Mr.' Lincoln said (see debates
page - 14), " What next? Free the blacks and
make *bent socially4md politically onr equals ?
My oik'n feelings will not admit of - this; and
if mine would, we - all, know that those of the
great mass of the people would not ; wheth
er this feeling accords with justice and sound
judgment, is not the sole question, if, indeed,
it is any part of it. A universal feeling,wheth
er well or ill founded, cannot safely be disre
garnet]. We unnuor; loco, nzgah,- .
equals." ' '
And like sentiments were proclaimed by
Mr. Lincoln. in his debate from Lake Mich
igan to the Ohba. river. In Ma -speech ,at
Charleston (debates, page littl), he forcibly .
said: "I am not, nor ever have been in favor
of blinging about' in any way, the social and
political equality of the black and white
races" .
"I sin not nor ever hSve been in favor of
making voters or jurors of negroes."
" Nor of qualifying theni(negroei) to held
office!
"Nor of having them (negroes) intermarry
with white : people.".,
"There is a physical difference between the
black and white tacos, which 1 belieVe
FOREVER forbid the two races living together

The Eneflphiecar stink Law I
Glorious'Equality, First' of • Radica
Graces.
Our attention has recently been, called tn.
the practical workings of a law passed, last
winter, by our State Legislature, imposing
heavy penalties upon railroad companies for
refusing to permit negroes to ride in any of
their passenger cars. As the law formerly
stood, railroad conductors could compel ne
groes to ride in separate> cars 'provided for
them. As it stands nowi they have the same
choice of seats arid berths in sleeping:cue.
as white people. A friend of ours relates
that as he, was traveling from Philadelphia
to Huntingdon, a few nights ago, he took a
berth in a sleeping car, and when about 're
tiring, his attention' was attracted by loud
talking and scuffling on the platform of the
car. Proceeding to the scene of the disturh
ance, he 'dlsbovered a bugs trade negro in' a
controversy with one of the railroad officials
about obtaining a berth In the sleeping-car.
The ticket agent had - refused to 0 4,t1p.dar-.
key a ticket, and the colored, gentleman was
trying to foke his way into the"car without
the requbtite Piece of - stamped • paste-Ward.
A policeman came 'up, however, and settled,
the business. by telling the ticket agent that
under %helme t - VIM refused to sell the negm
s; berth ticket, oil account of color, he would
:be - afflemibteto a tine' of live hundred del
,larsoisd subject to pay a like sum to the ne
gro upon an action for debt 1 This had the,
'desired effect, and the African was handed
the coveted ticket. It to happened, hiswev
,er, that bit one berth was -vacant,- and that
was half of, a double berth partly occuplo
by a - whito man, The negro divested him-,
' self of hat, boots, coat and vest, and proceed
ed to appropriate his half of the double
-berth. White man, who ' had. been dosingt
tanned -artauld,• looked t at the new comer.,
t'Ul.:11)0 his eyes, looked again, and tlimacnme,
such a kiekirtg, - Annblin'g, sprawling, - and
mixture of white and black generally as
would have done any arnalgastustimmErs
leart, good. About this time the conductor
appeared, upon the scene, and the result was
that the negro, with ticket in hand, tumbled
into bed, whilst the white man, growling an
athemas at the party' be himself helped to
place in powei, doggedly put on his clothes
and went forward to sit with wrenched
back anderamped legs, in the passenger car,
fuminating over beauties of Radical leg
islation.

Thus was this bill to force negroes into
seats and sleeping-berths on Railroad cars,
along side ofwhite people, ladies as well as
gentlemen, passed by the Radicals.
In the Senate, the bill was equally success
ful, and received the entire Radical vote.
Senator-lowry_was one of its ' , most active
supporters. •

The - Radical papers of this State keep out
of sight, as much as possible, the fact that the
Congressional legislation embodied in the
so-ealled Reconstruction acts, hand over ten
States to the tender mercies. of an ignorant
and degraded negro population. They have
reconstructed the South with a vengeance;
reconstructed ilby substituting for intelli
gent white rule, the absolute sway of planta
tion negroes. We ask the careful 'attention
of the voter& of Pennsylvania to the annexed
figures

It will be seen that in the, seceded States,
taken as a whole, there itiii•lartztt_nepo, a
-3...4 or nvnr Liao whitca• &aunt tArouna ,
the negro majority is more than two - to one,
and the same preponderance nearly exists in
Louisiana. In Florida the negroes are just
two to one on the voting list. In Georgia
and Alabama they have also majorities, and
'in Mississippi they will have 20,000 majority.
Even in Old Virgutia',' the land of Washing
ton and Jefferson, the negroes count nearly
one-half the voting population. Under the
operation, •therefore, of the Radical. negro
suffrage policy, the Southern States' have be
come completely Africanized. The majority
of the Cbhgressmen from the South will, be
negroes. • Negroes will fill the placses in' the
United States Senate which were once.occu
pied by Calhoun,and Preston,and King, and
Berrien. African ; rudeness and barbarism
will be thrust into what was once the most
dignified and intellectual body in the world.
In short, South of Kentucky, the negroes are
to be the rutting CIIIS4. The lives, liberty
and fortunes of the whites will depend upon
them. The negroes will have the. State and
local offices. They will have the Legisla
tures. They will have the Judges and the
juries.
Is it not time for the People of Pennsylva
nia to protest against this reign of negro do
mination, over the whole United States,
about to be inaugurated bf the Radical par
ty ?
UR EDITOR :—The following extract from
the Dispatch of August -80th, attracted my
attention : •
"THE BLACKS Anunto.—A telegram from
Illehmond on the 27th, states that a cora-
Mission of magistrates, ordered by General
Scofield, showed that a secret military or
ganization; of formidable strength existed
among the blacks. which ,is. believed to ex
tend into the counties' throughout the State.
If this be so, they are acting something like
the Fenians, rather more ambitious and
blood thirsty than practical. No necessity
-exists for them to arm to defend their pond
cal rights, for these are guaranteed to them
bythe GoVernment, and if they arm for so
ma and personal defence, they set an exam
ple of defiance to both their enemies and the
Government from which they claim protec
tion. •They must do as all well-behaved
- people , do, or father Greeley will spank
them.'
If our friend of the Dispatch thinks it pro
per to compare us with the blacks of the
South he may, but as a Fenian; and anlrish
man, I protest against such anjuatiflable
charges concocted by Motives of prejudice
or jealousy egabastour people and our na
tionality. If there is no necessity for the
blacks to arm to defend their rights, as they are
guaranteed to them by the Government, how
can he compare them with the-Irish. people,
. whose grievances.are legion, atrociously iai
posed upon them by the most unjust govern
ment on earth. And as for Fenians acting
more ambitious and blood-thirsty than prac
tical, ho might as well say the stone of theta
while:serving under our gallant heroes, Goa,
reran, Meagher, Mulligan, and Nugent, at
the bloody battlefields of the South, where
