SALUTATORY.
Having pureiiasjil the materials on
which the Democka r and Sentinel ii
published, and entered upon the publica
tion of the same, we feci it our duty to
Fay a few words to our patrons thremgh
out the county and elsewhere. We come
amongst you not as a stranger to battle
for the rights of Democracy, nor as a
pleading supplicant for your smiles ai d
approbation.. Claiming little Cambria as
the land of our nativity, there is no neces
sity that we f-hould ask for a continuance
of the patronage heretofore extended to
the Dr.Mooi: vt and S::ntin""i. While
we will u.-e our utmo.-t cxeriioi.s to please
our Democratic fiicuds and vender satis
faction to all. Still we will not be impo
sed upon by part' cliques who often con
trol country newspapers, and use them
for their o-.vn political purposes. The
Sentinel will be published without fear,
favor, or (lis! i net ion. The frowning walls
of Fort Lafayette and MIfilin no longer
are opene 1 to receive us. The IJl of
Seward no longer demands incarceration.
The garments dyed in blood have passed
away. The reijn c' irrov is tit an end.
The midnight plumbers of our citizens
will no longer be disturbed by the tramp
of the press gang or the defiant yells of
the " truly loyal." All these scenes have
b,en enacted, kind reader, with;n the last
six years. And v. hat has been the re
sult ?
The question can be answered by the
nust illiterate amongst you. A few
words will embrace all, namely : Taxes,
Niggers anl a divided Union.
With these few words intended r.s an
introduction where nor.e is needed, we
enter upon the publication of the Demo
crat and Si-sriNM, hoi big that it will
receive the support and approal i f our
Democratic friends, as long as it upholds
Democratic principles and no longer.

The Freedrr.en's Bureau.
We are too much restricted in space to
allow the publication in fall of the final
report of Generals Steadman and Fuller
ton, upon the condition and practical
working of the Freedmen s Rureau in the
Southern Sules. The report is replete
with interesting statements of facts, that
are stueh' sufficient to convince the most
sceptical advocate of the Rureau, that it
has not only long ago ceased to be of any
practical benefit to any one whatever, ex
cept dishonest llureau officers and their
partners in speculations, but that its con
tinuance in nearly every locality in the
South, is a positive curse to both whiten
and blacks. The Commissioners have
male honorable mention of the honesty
and cfiicicm-y of the very few officers of j
the l'urcau who were found entitled to j
such commendation ; but for the most
prut in fact, in nine-tenths of the cases.
investigated the Commissioners have
been compelled to report a criminal reck
lessness iu the transaction of business, or
positive and apalling frauds upon both the
Government and the freedinen.
The report shows, beyond cavil, that
whatever of good there may have been in
the oiiginal establishment of the liureau,
it has long ceased to be useful, and has
degenerated into. a simple instrument for
the enrichment of unscrupulous agents.
It is shown to have become a pregnant
.source of local strife, a serious obstacle
to the' social advancement" and self-dependence
of the freedmen. and generally
a means of impo-:ng upon them a system
of oppression infinitely worse and more
onerous than the slavery from which,
through the lire and carnage of civil war,
they have been emancipated.
This statement of the condition of the
liurcan is calmly and dispassionately
made by officers peculiarly competent to
form a correct judgment in the premises.
The careful perusal of their report must
carry conviction to the mind of every
honest ftleiid of the freeelnien, that the
discontinuance of the JJureau is impera
tively demanded by every consideration
'of ri -Jit justice and humanity. It was
already apparent to every true lover of
"bis country uninfluenced by partisan blind
ness, that the institution had become a
fiigh;frd incubus upon the Government, a
source of plunler to greedy and dishonest
officials, arid a curse more withering than
slavery itself to all classes of people in
the South, without distinction of color,
but particularly to the Freedmen, whose
benefit is tnade the pretext for the rnain-
i tenar.ee of the Feireau.

Tin: Takii r. The new tariff law,

cision of the Secretary of the Treasury,
on Friday, August 10th, and not the 1st
of August, as heretofore reported, .besides
sp.'ciiica'.'y advancing the duties on cigars
and all articles into which spirits cuter,
increases the advalorum duties on all kinds
of goods, by adding to their value. At
present these duties are calculated upon
the actual cost of the goods, but the new
law provid. s that to the nc'ml cost in de
termining the value shall be added "the
cost of transportation, shipment and
transhipment, with all expenses included.
From the place of growth, production or
manufacture, whether by land or water,
to the, vessel in which shipment is made
to the United States ; the value of the
sack, box, or covering of any kind in
which such goods are contained ; commis
sion at the usual rate, but in no case less
than two and a half per centum ; broker
age, export duty and all other actual or
Usual rates for putting up, preparing and
packing for transportation or shipment."
The only exception to this rule is ''long
combed carpet wools, costing 12 cents or
less per pound, unless the charges added
shall carry the cost above 12 cents, in
which case one cent per pound is to be
levied.

Resignation of the Chairman of the
Republican State Convention of Illi

Committee oj lll'mois :
Gksti.i:mi:n : After a careful review of
the political situation of the country, I
feel that justice alike to you and myself
requires me to resign the position of Chair
man of the Uepublican Union State Cen
tral Committee.
l'rofesssonal engagements rendered it
impracticable for me to be present at your
meeting held May 10, when tne call was
made for a State Convention. Soon after
the call was published 1 wrote to James
I. Koot, Esq , Secretary of the Commit
tee, pointing out what I regarded as an
objectionable restriction, whereby a large
portion of the Kepublican voters of Illi
nois were excluded from a participation
in the Convention.
The manifest design of that call was
fo exclude those who approved the Presi
dent's plan of restoration, and to include
only those who approved the Congression
al plan of reconstruction. As between
the two dans I am emirwly in favor of
the President's and against the Congress

assumes that a State once in the Union
cannot voluntarily go out, nor be involun
tarily thrust out by Congress the latter
denies the right of States to secede, but
assumes that Congress may ratify secess
ion by holding States as "conquered prov
inces." I was opposed to secession in 1 SGI ,
and I am just as much opposed to expul
sion in 1'StiO ; therefore I cannot act har

Tin: New Internal IIkvkm y. Law.
Under the ameruled Tax law the govern
ment will receive a large increase of rev
enue from the advertisements published in
guide-books, almanacs, catalogues, direc
tories and other publications, which have
heretofore escaped taxation on account of
the indefinite wording of the old lasv.
The Commissioner of Internal Keveuue
calls attention to the fact that the new
law makes the word "money" to include
checks, drafts and othej instruments ol
writing given for the payment of money,
and therefore the receipts for checks, draf ts,
fcc. , are to be stamped as if given for
money.
The Secretary of the Treasury has is
sued an order establishing new regulations
for the collection of the tax on salaries of
government officers. Paymasters and
disbursing officers who withold these du
ties arc directed to render a true state
ment of the amounts and details thereof,
and in lieu of d -positing these sums them
selves, it is made the duty of the First
and Second Comptrollers, t lie Commission
er of Customs and the Auditor of the
Postoffice to do so.
Imi'Oktant Po&tal Chances The
law of Congress, approved June 13th,
1SCG, and which went into operation on
the 1st inst., makes several important
changes which we note below :
1. Letters sent, on which there is an
order to return, if not called, arc returned
to the writer free of charge such let
ters have been charged three cents hereto
fore. 2. Letters forwarded from one post of
fice to another aw net charged additional
rates of postage, and are returned to the
writer from the dead letter office free of
charge. Heretofore letters forwarded
were charged a single rate of postage from
each post office from which they were
forwarded to him from the dead letter
office.
3. The sum for which money orilers
can bo issued has been raised from $30
to .0, and the rate hereafter charged
will be 10 cents for all orders under $20,
and 20 cents for all over S20 and under
$.30. Also, that any money order shall
be valid and payable when presented to
the deputy postmaster on whom it is
drawn within one year after its date, but
for nolonger period, and in case of the
loss of a money order, a duplicate thereof
shall be is3Aicd without charge, on the ap
plication of the remitter or payee, who
shall make the required proofs ; and post
masters at all money order olfices are
hereby authorized and required to admin
ister to the applicant or applicants, in
such cases, the reqnired oath or affirma
tion free of charge.

Thad. Stevens' Dream.
Thad. Steven after the vetoing of the
Freedman's Uurc.u Dill, laid down to rest
and had the following visions :
Feeling sad and dreary and tossing weak
and weary
In the land of dreams I wandered full half
nn hour or more :
I had a frightful vision, I thought the dead
had alt arisen
To await the dread decision, on Caanan's
happy slioro ;
To await the Jude who rules Supreme on
Caiman's happy thore,
Who rules ibreverniore.
Wh ile Gabriel the trumpet sounded many
a heart with horror bounded,
As thoughts of sins committed on old Co
lumbia's shore,
Caroe fearfully a gushing and with dreadful
horror rushing
For the angels were all blushing behind the
entrance door.
Blushing fir the sins of freemen behind the
eutra: ee doer.
Hushing there and nothing more.
Although much irritated with great sus
pense I awaited
The comir-g of one that I ne'er was taught
to adore.
For niggers were my God, and for them I j
would defraud
The poor soldiers who have trod from At
lanta to the sheiie.
Trod from far Atlanta to the Atlantic shore,
This I'd do and nothing more.
Presently the Judge was ready, and with
step both firm and steady,
He walked across that never to be forgotten
floor;
And he summoned me before him and I
knelt down to adore him
With all the marked decorum, used in the
saintly days of yore.
With all the marked decorum used by Saints
in days of yore,
This I done and nothing mofe.
I pleaded all in vain, but the black and
. deadly stain
Of the mgger blocked my entrance more anel
more :
For he told me to go with Sumner, Wade
& Co..
To a region far below and to knock loudly
at the door
Knock loudly for old Satan at IladeS accur
sed door.
And there remain forcverrcorc.
Then I pondered o'er my fate and thought
(if native State,
While the sweat adown ray brow did freely

I cordd net then repent so away to h 1 I

While a sweet negro scent brought ma head

I had not long to wait soon hinges began to
grate,
And the d 1 made his appearance at the
door,
He welcomed me with pride and asked me
when I died.
And. said he would me guide t a cell on
the first floor.
To a cell on the first floor just opposite the
door. more.
Where I should remain forevcr-
I asked to see the place that I might see a
familiar face.
And for awhile 1 was afraid my claim he
would ignore.
But he repie's rd his vising ire and he grant
ed my desire.
And his form I di 1 admire in the garments
which he wore.
In garments black as Afric sons which the
old d 1 wore,
I admired this and nothing more.
He led me around each cell and a sickening
damning smell,
Emanated through the grating of each door.
It seemed like burning shodd' at the cell of
every body,
And I hinged for a glass cf toddy at every
dungeon door,
Longed for a glass to cool my frame at every
dungeon door.
For this I longed and nothing more.
So now to your dungeon traitor and he
ordered a black waiter
To conduct me to my quarters and no more
favors to implore,
Get ye oiU, why do you tarry, soon a wench
I'll let you marry,
Hero devils, 'inps. come, carry this traitor
to yon door.
This traitor you must carry and lock the
entrance door, '
To be opened nevermore.
His imps they quickly caught me, and with
lurried steps they brought mo
To a dungeon deeper, daiker than the cells
on my native shore.
Where those who would not fight were de
prived of life and fight.
For I always thought it right that their
blood should freely pour,
For the Union and the Freedmnn their blood
should freely pour.
This Ptlfought and nothing more.
Quickly from the darkness springing, as they
stood arounel me singing,
" We ?.re coming, we are con.iug three hun-
ilred thousand more,"
I made ens fearful leap into the darkness
deep.
And awoke from a troubled sleep.
To find myself a lying on my chamber floor.
Lying with the sweat from off me pouring
upon my chamber floor.
This U all and nothing moro.

A Soldiers Opinion.
General 1. 1'. Flair, in a conservative
Union speech at St. Louis, a few day s ago,
paid the following compliments to the
Southern States :
They have evinced courage and endu
rance ; by their gallantry and long suffer
ing; in this cause, so mistaken, and so
tTr- "ous, and so criminal, they have
sF f f themselves to be the equal of an
equal number of any men 'upon God Al
mighty's globe. (Applause.) Those who
have contended against them are those
whe are readiest tei admit that they have
shown themselves to be the equals of any
other people in the weirld. (Applause.)
Not only have they shown themselves the
readiest to overlook the past, and forget
what there is need of forgetting; and to
receive these men back into the govern
ment, with all the rights and dignity of
their respective States unimpaired, simply
requiring from them upon the pledge
which they will give, that they will re
new their allegiance to the government of
the United States. (Applause.) Can
not we trust that pledge if these men will
give it to us? Have we not reason to
believe that they are men of sincerity ?
Can we not confide in these brave men ?
I say that we can. (Applause.) I say
that this is the only way in which they
can be brought back into the Government
and bound to it by the links of gratitude,
stronger than any links of steel that can
be wrought. (Applause.)
And now I will ask. what foreign na
tion is there on earth that would not be
proud and happy to receive these people
and give them all the rights of citizenship
enjoyed bv any of iheir citizens ? (Ap
plause.) Would not France be eager to
elo it ! Would not Great Britain be too
proud to extend her dominion over that
proud country, sharing her government
with those gallant, noble men who have
vindicated their right to manhood in this
contest unparalleled in the history of war ?
Would not any foreign nation on the face j
of the earth be willinr to receive this
people ? Not receive them on degrading
terms, but receive them in open arms'up
on an equality with her other citizens.
Tin: Portsmouth N. II.) Journal says
that Mr. John Seaver, of that dace, for
a wager of SoOO, last Thursday, com
menced walking one hundred miles in as
many consecutive hours. How he was
effected is thus relateel :
On Wednesday afternoon, at the close
of the first twenty-four hour5, he became
weary anil felt a stronger disposition to
sleep than he afterwards experienced.
This was driven off, but the effort pro
duced a severe headache, which continued
through the remaining days. . On Thurs
day he felt drow.-y, but was so excited he
would sit down without napping. Fvery
hour the circuiting the room forty-two-times
was regularly performed, in times
ranging from twenty to thirty minutes.
On that morning he began to be discoura
geel, and expresscel a wish to abandon fur
ther ellort. His aelviser persuaded him,
ami he renewed his efforts, and, as he ex
pressed it, with a determined will to suc
ceed. Friday, the third day, he was more
wakeful, his nervous excitement having
increased probably by the strong tea,
which was his only beverage. I lis head
was bandaged and bathed with rum anel
alum frequently. lie stumbled from
weakness ami weariness, but got up with
out help. Saturday, the fourth and last
day, was erne of weariness, aching limbs,
aching head and prostration. lie ivepaired
to be supported as he went his hourly
rounds. In the ninety-ninth hour he
again fell in faintess. The last hour
at length arrived, and with his assistants
lie completed his forty-two circuits in thirty-three
minutes. He now rece ived fresh
energy from the idea that he had accom
plished his feat, and, unaideel, he literally
dragged his limbs once more arounel the
hall, to show that he was awake, and
amid the cheers of a large audience, he
retired after nine o'clock.
lie did not recover from the sickness
that ensued for several da vs.
