PUBLICATION OP THE LAWS
The Editorial Convention which. assem
bled at Harrisburg on the 25th ultoroted
down the resolution which had been intro
duced urging upon,the Legislature the pro-_
priety of publishing the laws in one paper of
• each party'in the different counties. This
proposition was negatived by a vote of 29,
against 29 in thd affirmative, and it was the
bangers-on about the State Capital, who re
now making a fortune out of the State print
ing; that secured the defeat of this measure
before the convention. These interested par
ties represented that the additional' empse
jncurredAY adopting thcrproteard°4Nr.pd
• of publishing the laws would he enormous,
and a startling array of figures , was pre
pared, to convince the skeptical that as a
matter of grave economy the measure should
be defeated. One of these interested gerttle•
men declared that while the Slate ptinting
, now amounts to only $20,000, the method
proposed would increase the, expenses , in
OAS' departMent to $135,000. This looks
yen - well in paper, but the facts do not bear
him out in his assertion. The Auditor Gen
eral's report for litst , year shows that the
State printing. for ISGS cost the immense sum
of $134,998. Add to this the amount paid
to pasters and folders—say $40,090, and
po , :tag.e :?•32,475 ; and instead of our printing
costing only twenty thousand dollars. it ag
gregates a.total of over two hundred• thou
and dollars. This stun, distributed among
one, hundred and thirty-six papers --two in
each county—would give them about $1,500,
each: It' wasthe editors of papers which
are now making double or treble this sum
who secured The defeat of this fair proposi
tion, in the tar that it -Would debar them
from having the pleasant and profitable re
muneration they now receive.

ARNT AND 'PRE RADICALS
fltc'ltidleat press and people are now mi
. derg,,ing a probation of suspense that is really,
I ludicrous to behold. They hive never" had
re.elon to place itnpliyit confidence in the

pelled to nominate, simply because of his
availability, and his extraordinary reticence
It ec bCiLlg chosen to succeed President John
son ha, not tended in the least to allay their
an xletY in regard to the possible Course he
may yet pursue. His declaration that he.
• Would have no settled policy of his oWn was
her:alded' tis a conclusive proof that he would
'•liow to the dictates of the party which multi
na.t,cd him, but notwithstanding extraordina
ry influences have been brought to bear, with
a design or inducing him to give some clue
to the course of his administration, or at least
to announce the names of those
,whotu he
'desi".tns 'calling around him to assist in the
great responsibilities soda to be assumed, he
perseveres in maintaining a mysterious and
perplexing silence. In all matters pertain
ing to his future course as Chief Magistrate
he i, as impenetrable as it he wet e a veritable
,phynx, and the Radical mind is filled with
vague alarm as the chances Mr an early rup
ture become more apparent. Witness the
following from a long article in the 'New
York Times, a full-dyed and leading Radical
ocean
= ;"That there, is impatience, discontent, on
the part of extreme party men—those who
are accustomed to consider themselves the
rightful leaders of the dominant party, and
therefore' entitled to dictate its policy—with
On': neglect Of General Grant to consult their
wishes or intorin them of his purposes, is
doubtless true. We have evidence of this
feeling on every side." .
Thilimpatience and dicontentedness also
extends among all (dames of the party. In
the courie of the article alluded to we hind
; an acknowledgment that Grant's antecedents
were such as to strengthen this growing feel
ing of uncertainty, and it is confessed that he
was 'not nominated as a choice, but simply
for the reason that the case 4.4.1 then resolv
ed itself into victory ivith Grant, or a terrible
iisteat with any other candidate. It; as the
iftilluwing extract says, they could have fol
lowed their personal preferences, Gen. Grant's
name would not have becial s teard in the ea,
cago conVentipn. ' The objections which'
were entertained 'by Radical party leaders .
are well expressed by the Times:
"It is quite true that Gen. Grant was not
the first choice of the self-styled leaders Of
the Republican party, as their candidate for
President. If they could have:followed their'
personal preferences, they would have, put: in
nomination_ another man. Their objections
to him lay in the filet that poletically he was
not one of them, th:i:l,:he had never been so
identified with tlair porpnses-and ~ lAns t war
so thnioughly in.sVmpstlty ultli'theif"senti
ments and oninitnisolint they 'could either
predict precisely 'what , be would do, ar,count:
with confideve ott hrs i doing): exactly what.
they might inivis and 'direct. The feeling
Unit he, was politically unknown, and there
fore politically unreliahlr, was very widely
entertained and very potent bribe Republi
can party before his nomination." .
In t = ies- of the peculiar attitude which
Grant occupies at present, the Times con
eludes that the new Presidents ill not govern
his official action' by the rules or. require
ments of party discipline.. Whether he will
undertake to set up his own will in opposition
to that of the present soulless' leaders of the
dominant party remains to be seen, Init iu
our judgment he will tind more di cult Work .
to throw off the shackles with-:w 'eh party
disciplirie will bind him, than hdever expe
rienced in his engagements with the army of
Lee. If he should, by a series of tortuitous
circumstances, be enabled to asseri Ms own
views, and his administration be conducive to
the general• good of the great body .of
people, then, indeed, the fears of the Radicals,
which maybe looked upon as' the , key-note
of all their anxiety and distrust, 'would be re,
alined, and their party, as a distinct organi
lion, would soon be disintegrated. The oc
cupation of the place-hinithg; and the horde
of corrupt Officials who arc now fattening on
the life-blood of the Republic; would be guile,
and with them would. &Raft the abuses
which.have well ffigh ruined this once glo
rious confederation of States: 2f Grant had
a tithe of the independence'and fearlessness'
which characterized the old heni who once
occupied the position to which he soon
be elevated, we might have strong hopes for
the future. Whether or no he posstses any
of the attributes which distinguished the im
mortal Jackson, time will determine.
SCHALL THE PEOPLE DECIDE I
• A proposition has passed the Senate,,at
'Washington, and is now before the House—
Where it will also be:pushed thrOgh-lwhich
is evidently intended as a deathblow at the
soyereignty - of the people of these United
States. It is proposed that au amendment
shall be eogratted upon the Constitinion, and
that oar titizens;shall have no direct voice in.
its adoption or rejection. , To. thrett ; fourths
of the different State Legislature, is to lie left
the deeisiun of this vital 'question of negro
suffrage ; a 4testiOn which affects the inter
ests and requires the judgment of the peo
ple,as 11 , body. It is proposed that the small
boroughs of Rhode Island, New Hatnpshire,
Nebraska and Nevada shall compel the great
States of Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
to enfraneldise .the blacks, and thus place
them on a petliticab - and social equality with
the whites. it is a dwell established truth
that where there are two races of men in
one country, whose habits, tastes, color and
whole orgardiation are different, a conflict of
races . the legitimate result, and one or the
other must succumb. The white citizens of
this Republic cannot be induced to recognize
the negroes as their equals, and a Radical
Congress have now taken a plan by which
they hope to force this distasteful amend:
ment upon us. Under the impression that
they can 'control a sufficient number of the
State Legislatures, they look for the ultith'ate
success of their scheme, and it only remains
kir the white citizens of-this Connuonwealth
to urge upon our Representatives the impor
tance of condemning a measure to which at
least two-thirds of the people are opposed.
Let all who object to this summary method
of taking front us our Constitutional rights
insist on being heard upon this grave and
important issue. Let the leading citizens
of every borough and township draw up
lAtests ihrtilar to the following, and
circulate them for signatures. Repub
licans who do not desire the success of
this infitmous scheme need Imre not hesi
tation in signing it, ilia it is not in any sense
prepared as a partian document. Men of
all classes are alike interested in the defeat of
this measure, and all should affix their names.
As fast as these remonstrances are filled
let them be inclosed in an envelope andtscnt
to some Representative at Hartislarg who
will present them. The Legislature dare 11 , 1

honorable bodies, of the propus.ed amend

denied or abridged by jiie United States, or
any State, by reason of race, or color, or
precious condition of slavery of any citizen
or class ut citizens of the United States."
We du pretest against the ratification of the

the question of suffrage, and the people have
not been consulted as to whether they are

-lewd that "the people of Hayti. altd the
mis - ed'rates of Mexico and South America
owe all their yocs to the accursed system/3f
slavery that has imbruited them for centu-,
ries." Now, while these negroes w ern in
bondage, it is proven by incontestable evi
dence, that' tinV:were prosperous aud happy,
and it was only. when, emancipated that the
woes, wk:Fli were broUght upon themselves,
followed:. In 1790 Hayti was in the heyday
of its prosperity. The number 'slaves, in
bondage was nearly half a million, and• the
exports of sugar, coffee,.&C.,reached V8,000,-
000. Three yeais later slavery Was abolish
ed, and her former prosperity began rapidly
to decline. Mr. E. B. Underhill, in his work
h-s.ied in 18tH, entitled "The West hullo—
Their goral and Social Conditlmi," says that
"the once rich fields teeming with cotton,
sugar. tobacco, spices and tropical fruits, now
lie unoccupated,. uncultivatedigtud desolate.
AU is decay and desolation, and the tendency
of the negroes is a rapid return to the original
rwjei.ii of their African anceeors." Mr.
Underhill, is a member of the (Baptist Mis
sionary Society, of _London. an is an aboli
lionist of unquestioned orthodoxy.

In 1829 slavery was abolished in 3iexieo,
but the negroes and - mixed races were'rupid
ly relapsing into barberism, and it was found
neca,sary to return them to a state of servi
tude worse than slavery. The Dispatch can
point to no living fact in the world's history
here the granting of the rights and immu
hitles of citizenship to the negro resulted in
anght but ruin to the race. His intellectual

No negro has ever acquired any distinction
in the arts which belong to civilization,-
There is no example of a negro artist, a ne

neat:. and famous of all negroes was Tous
saint L'Overture, but lie was a mere war
rior,.and no barbarous nation has ever been
deficient in that quality...
_ lithe Dispatch insists that the negroes are
not inferior, either in vigor, or courage, or.
-intelligence, to the Europeans, how comes it
that for 6,000 years they have remained in
the savage state? -'Mighty empires - have
risen ou the banks of the Euphrates, the

cratic voter, at the !went election, by
thieats of discharge, unless he would vote
the Radical ticket. When the case
came np for trial, and. after `a' portion
of the evidence had been given in, the coun
sel for•the defendant triumphantly produced
& pardon from Gov. Geary, and thriller
proceedings were ended. Is there any
law or justice in thus furnishing, a man who
is on trial for a - grave charge with a ready
madespardon, simply bee.iuse he may have
been aleading Radical ? If this is not en
couraging crime, by shielding criminals, we°
would like to know ?
