deceased institution, Being now upon the same footing as' that of the white man, the negroes must become More loyal and true to each other, for apps - ently they have as much conjugal anti parental attachment as the whites, and are ever ready to assist , each her, although unconnected, or strangers, at least to an equal extent with the poorer classes of whites. "Many of them learn to read and write rttpidly, and well. For instance, Heater has learned to write in less than two weeks, and that at night when I am not busy. "Reading and writingj being novel to them; they delight in lehrning, and by nature being more imitive than original, they learn the rudiments more readily, than they can apply them in new com binations. + "They are contented upon almost nothing, provided that "nothing" is their own ; but if you have the task of furnishing them, they are constantly grum.bling, as the condition of slavery has made them auspicious of the white man, and they are inclined to mistrust anything he may do or say, but onceget their confidence and attachment, , and they will abide by you faithfully and strenuously • for being unaccustomed to protection, they realize its value, when once obtained. "Above all things they do despise a poor white man. It is most ludicrous to see the turn of the nose, and to hear the scornful tones of their voice, when they express their utter alihorrenCe ,of "a poor white man". "Oh ! he. is nothing but a poor white man" is enough to turn up an hundred noses, and toss an hundred heads. "What they exactly mean by the ex- . 1 pressiori is difficult to explain ; but it is more expressive than any oath in Chris tendom. "Damn it" is nowhere, tho' generally applicable as an ,expletive, ' though no one exactly could fellits . in- tent. "They love assemble and sing and pray, and tell their experience as chiis tans ; and if one of their members gets into a scrape, they will join to assist him out, for "is he not a brother in Christ ?" and many a white professor of christianity mightherein learn a profit able lesson. "They make a great many slips but do, I suppose, what they think to be right, which is about as good a criterion as any man can conform to. "They a7e noted for their propensity to sleep, yet can pad it all night, and work the next day •, but let them have no work Co.do and they will lie down in the broiling hot sun and sleep, with out a particle of shade, all day long ; two hours of which time would pro duce sun=stroke in any of us. _Hence are they peculiarly adapted to to roit in the cotton fields." SirtguLar Love A.dvontiarc The annals of Cupid, says the St. Louis Democrat, record many romantic inciklents ; but we doubt if they contain anything stranger than the story we are about to relate. Did not sober history bear us out, we should hardly hope to be delivered in telling' how a trio of knight•errants—one of whom was after wards to become a grave prelate- of the church, another already a world-re nowned philosopher ana sage, of the ripe age of three score-years, and the. third soon to be distinguished as an eminent jurist—conspired to liberate an imprisoned damsel, and unite her to a lover three thousand miles off—that lover himself a rising artist, and de stined to be acknowledged in a few years as one of the great historical pain ters of modern times. Yet such are the facts, and they afford another illustra tion of the adage that "truth is stranger than fiction." At a meeting of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, held in Philadelphia in 1858, the _Corresponding Secretary read an interesting letter from the yen eiable Joseph K. SwiftM. D., of Easton, Pennsylvania. The granduncle of Dr. Swift was Stephen Shewell, a wealthy merchant of Philadelphia, more than a century; a proud, imperious man, of strong passions, whose wife was a de-. scendant of the aristocratic Bickley family. One of his two sisters also mar ried a Biekley ; and the other (Eliza beth), after the decease of her parents, resided with her brother. This Miss Elizabeth Shewell became acquainted with Benjamin West cafterwards pain ter to his Majesty, Sing George III), and they fell in love with each other. West, at the time, although descended from agood family, was poor and little known. • Stephen Shewell wished his sister to marry another suitor, which she refused to do, in consequence of her attachment to West. Her brother objected to West on account of his property and obscu rity and he was forbidden to come to the house. Miss Shewell. however, contrived to see him elsewhere, and they became engaged to be married. West then determined to go to Europe, to prosecute his studies and profession there and Miss Shewell promised him that when he notiAed her of his ability to maintain her, and of. his wish for her to come to him, she would proceed to join him in .any'cpart of Europe, and marry him! Her brother was informed of the lover' meetings and of the en gagements between them ; so, to pre vent any further intercourse, he con confined her to her chamber, and kept her underloek and key until after West's departure for Europe. West pursued his studies and profess ion for some time in Italy and other places on the continent, and finally set tled at London, where he soon estab lished his reputation, and .met with sufficient patronage to justify him in calling on Miss Shewell to fulfil her promise. He then made arrangements for her to come to him in the same ves sel that conveyed his request to her, and also that his father should accom pany her on theivoyage. Upon the re ceipt of his message, Miss. S. prepared for her departure; but her brother was apprised of her intention and again con fined her to her ,chamber. The engagement between West and Nfiftg S. was well known in Philadel phia, and Mr. Sbewell's. tyrannical treatment of his sister excited great in dignation against him, and strong sym-. pathy for the lady. In this state of thfrigs, the late Bishop White (who was Dr. Swift's guest on his /ate patriarchal visit to Easton, about the year 1833) told him that he, the Bishop, then about eighteen years of age, Dr. Franklin, in his fifty-ninth year, and Francis Hopkinson, twenty nine years of age (afterwards the cele brated Judge and author of "Hail Co lumbia," &c.s,went for the captain of, the vessel when it was ready to sail, with old Mr. West and engaged him to set sail as soon as they had brolfght a lady on board. They then procured a rope ladder, went at midnight to Ste phen Shewell's house, attached the lad der to a 'window ih Miss Shewell's chamber, and Fot her safely out to the - ship, which sailed a few minutes after she entered it. Mr. West was in wai ting for his betrothed when she arrived in England, and they were soon married --Sept. 2,,1765. Neither of them ever returned to this country. Stephen Shewell never forgave his sister, and, although she made many efforts to con ciliate him, he refused all counnunica- tion with her. Bishop White was about eighty4ve years old when he related this youthful adventure to Dr. Swift, and on the latter's observing that no one Who knew him then would suppose that - he had ever been engaged in such 'a romantic affair, the Bishop replied that "Miss Sheivell's ease Wa', a hard one, and her friends were indignant at the treatment she received ;- that be had done right ;" and he added, with warmth, "if it were to do over he would do it again, for it was evident that God had intended they should come together, and man had no right to keep them asunder. tht WELLSSORO, PENN'A WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 14, 1866 With XILICE toward none, with cnearre for ALL, with firmness in theft/IMT. let as strive to finish the work v.e are iu, to bind up the nation's wouud. , , to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for its widow and orphans. and to do all winch may achieve and cherish a just and' lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.—A. LincoLts—*,Lacs 4, 1865. CIRCULATION 8 2 0 - .BIIPFRAGR-A WAR OP RACES Just one week ago to-day a delegation of colored men, representing the colored people of New York, New England, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, and)Vir ginia; had an interview with the Presi d'ent. The object of the interview was to urge upon the President the justice and proikriely of giving the ballot to the people without distinction 'of color or race. Prominent among the delegates were 'Frederick Douglass and Lewis H. Doug his son. Geo. T. Downing, John L. Cook, William Ripper, and John Jones; all men of the highest respecta bility and standing as citizens, as jell as of superior intelleck and scholastic at tainments. The President received them as be eame,hito., with kindness and respect. The address of the delegation was made by Messrs. Douglass and Downing.— They stated, iu brief, that without equality before the law the negro could not subsist at the South, and that there fore theycame to urgethe Executivp to establish such equality in the 'District of Columbia where there ' could be no question as to the jurisdiction of the General Government. The reply of the President was to the general question of .universal suffrage rather than to the question propounded ; so that we can gather no just notion of what his views may be as regards the establishment of no-distinction suffrage in the District of Columbia. But as to the general question he spoke definitely to the effect that it was a question for the several States to decide each for it self; and in this we agree with him. Farther than this, he said that giving the ballot-to the freedmen would, in his judgment, lead to a war of races ; and iu that respect we most decidedly disa gree with him. • Our views upon the question of uni versal suffrage are well known. From the beginning-dating back to 1850, when we entered upon political labor—we have never concealed our decided op position to universal suffrage. It has brought us ,in conflict with valued friends; lout experience only Confirms us in i that early-formed opinion. ' •But in advocating limited suffrage we have never failed to state; that neith er color, race nor condition in life, should be pleaded in bar of tl;te enjoy , went of the right. To that we adhere, and shall continue to adhere ; because it is so plain thatnciman can successful ly controvert it. Intelligence; majori ty, allegiance, these are, he only quali fications which reason and common sense, enlightened by experience and. , obsprvation, can be brought to sanction. So much, briefly for our individual views relative to - suffrage. We now turn to the objection put- forward by ' the President—" a war of races-T--" in . which according to his words, " either one race or the other must disappear." It is to be regretted that any man in 'vested with public position, and espec ially of the first position in the land, should take this view of the subject. We regret that the President did not leave this objection to be put forward by the small . politicions who swelter, into notoriety at local hvadquarters.-- - Because it is an objection which has no counnance ( either in history or in phi losophy. If there was ever a time for this sort of objection it was when Con gress armed 160,000 negroes and put them in the field against a rebellious - white race. There can be no war of races on this continent; betweeni_ the white and the negro, except the white man begin it. This is not mere assertion, but statement of fact in the past which directly bearij upon the future of the whole question: In the awful pauses of the hate war; when the rebellion ,waned and flickered; and the hearts .of the Southern people sank down in despair, there was ample opportunity for the negro to work out, the' purpose of that hate, which Presi-' dent Johnson lays so much stress upon as the insuperable barrier to the cal equality of the races. ' i President Johnson can turn to a single - page of listory on which the fact of " a war of races" (caste), originating in political equality is recorded, that will be ad mitted in evidence so far as it goes. A " war of races," being only a - war of --" class" in reality, culturally, and logic= ally, arises from political inequality rather than from any equality before the law: For it ia a fact that few will be bold enough to dispute, that the es tablishing of justice everywhere must give peace to the world. - A better reason for opposing the no tion of giving the ballotto the freedmen indiscriminately is, that ignorance is not a safe custodian of popular liberty/ This fact constrains us to say " no" to the proposition to give the ballot to all. But the test of fitness lies - deeper than the color of the skin, or the brogue of the tongue. Intelligence—the abili ty to read the Constitution and the laws understandingly should be the test; not color or nativity. Of course the technical demands of the law are grant- ed in advance The - President's suggestion that the colored race ',should emigrate from the country does:not strike 'us very happy. We have more work than hands to do it, now : and_above all things it is necess nary that the immense resources of the county should .be developed at once. This cannot be done without labor. The South, especially, can ill afford to lose a laboi7er. The proprietors there have ruled arbitrarily over the labbrer for so many - , generations that they are unfit to direct, the labor of German or Irish workejs. It is hardly probable that immigration could supply the pla -ces of the colored people were they to leave the country. ' What we all need, and the P_ resident as much as any, is more faith in Eter nal Wisdor.n. We have only. to do right and trust in.' Providence for the right ing of all wrongs. We see that the copperhead papgres of this District are greatly distressed be cause of theivote of Hon. S. F. WiLsorr, for the district of- -Columbia Suffrage Bill. They may dry their-tears. • Mr. Wilson is not indebted to flint - sod of people for his position, nor does his fu ture preferment depend upon their favor. we know, as does every man who knows S. F. WILSON, that he would have voted for the measure in question though convinced that it would defeathim foranything he might ask for thereafter. Those acqsaluted with the people of Washington know this fact: Tbat•the respectable colored people of that city are in greater in pro to;the whole number of colored, than the respectable whites to the whole' number •of whites. We know very many coliired men, citizens of the Die trictof Columbia, who aremore wealthy, intelligent, .and better bred than the avrage of whites. And we guess that fact holds good in every southern, city. CORRESP . oN DENCE.-We cheerfully give place to the following acknowledgment of the receipt of an address of the Penn sylvania Association, (Welsh) by the President of the United States : • Dept. of State, Nov. 15, 1866. Rev'd Sir: I had ' the honor to re ceive thadetter of October 3, in which you communicated to me the ' Address to the President of the United States, of the pattors and delegates of the Welsh Congregational churches in the State of Pennsylvania. The address has been submitted to him, and 4 l and directed to thank you most sincerely for the loyal, patriotic and Christian sentiments which that association has so felicitouslyexpressed. I am dear sir, with much respeot, your humble 4ervant, Wm. H. SEWARD. Pel;nsylvaWa Legis;ature. The Law authorizing the township of Jackson to increase the bounty tax has passed both houses and is in the hands of the Governor for his signature. • Both branches of the Legislature have had a wirin debate upon the joint reso lution relative to "suffrage in the Dis trict of Columbia, and the resolution was, in'iboth , houses recommitted to the CoMmittee onFederal Relations. Houst. Jan. 31.—Mr. MANN read in place a jiill to further regulate proceed ings in'the several courts of the State and to provide fees in certain cases. Also ' 41, .bill to' provide for the pay ment of the soldiers of the war of 1812, and thOir widows, gratuities and annui ties. Mr. VUMP-HREY read a bill to author ize the supervisors of Charleston° town ship, this county, to levy and collect taxes to pay Bounty bonds. SErivrE. Feb. 2. Mr. COWLES repor ted, as committed, the bill to authorize the erection of a poorhouse in Tioga Count. - • [We. understand that in view of a decision of the Suprepae Court of this State touching the merits of the case, the section submitting the matter to a vote of the people next October" - has been stricken out, and the bill will doubtless pass without the provision. Ed.] The Legislation of the session thus. far has been mostly local and is without particular interest to the public beyond the localities where it is intended to operate. In the Senate, on theOth of February, a resolution was adopted authorizing, a joint Committee of the members of each House to conferwith the Maryland - authdrities concerning the establish ment of a national Cemetery at Antie tam., In the House, the bill making eight hours a day's labor, was postproned for one week. Quite a 'sharp debate took place in the House on the Ist. inst. between Messrs. Mann .and Quigley, relative to a supplement to an act relating to Land lords and tenants. The suppletnent in question repeals the " infanious Tioga act,'? as it is called. The supplement was reported with a negative renminen dation, because as stated by Mr. Mann, it gives only five days notice to tenants on non-payments of rent. Feb. 2. Mr, HUMPHREY presented a remonstrance from citizens of Tioga Ca. against the proposed new law of evi dence. Mr. MaDirt presented a petition, from 7000,G00d Templars for the suppression of liquor_selling. lILVIXth Congress—let Session.

Mr. Trumbull's bill for the protection of all persons in the enjoy ment of their civil rights was called up, and after several proposed amendments were voted down, passed. In the House tilke session was devoted to the discussion of the contested elec tion case—Wm. E. Dodge . vs. Brooks. No conclusion was arrived at. The bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau was also discussed but not dis posed of. Feb. s.—ln the Senate a petition was presented asking for the establishment of a Bureau of Fducation to have charge of the educational interests of the whole country. After the morning hour the resolution to amend the Con stitution was taken up, and Mr. Sumner offered a substitute providing that in all States lately in rebellion there shall be no privileged classes, either' before the law, in the Court Room, or at the bal lot-box. Upon this substitute he ad dressed the Senate in an eloquent speech until the hour of adjournment. The galleries were crowded. - In the House a bill to adopt the metric system of weights and measures was' referred. A resolution proposing an amendment of the Constitution so that it shall declare that any, State resisting the Government by three and arms shall revert to its Territorial condition, was offered. ' A resolution proposing to I levy contributions from the late Seced ed States to defray the necessary expen ses imposed by their crime, upon the General Government, was offered.: The Committee on Reconstruction was in structed to report upon the propriety of removing the seat of Govetnnient.- The balance of the session was consumed in discussion of the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Feb. 6.—ln the Senate petitions for universal suffrage were referred. The Qonstibational amendment resolution was discussed to the close of the ses- sion. In the-Honse the Freedmen's Bureau bill was passed finally. . This bill is in tended! to give ample protection to all colored persons in th e : South. ' It is most timely; jiist,Land - humane,-and the just and humane o pll. lends will be gratified by its passage. It now awaits the President's signature to become a law. - A passage-at-arms took place between Gen. Rousseau of Kentucky, and Mr. Grinnell, of lowa..Gen. Rousseau stalled in some remars, that were an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau to ar rest hina ori negro testimony, and take him intO•Court he would kill the offi cer. To this Mr. Grinnell took excep tion;dhartieteri2Vng it barbarous,,a dis grace to its utterer as well as to the State from which he came. To this "Gen. Rousseau took exceptions, declar ing lar . . - Grlnnell's remarks a slander.— So the matter stands. Feb. 7.--In the ~Senate the , session was devoted to the.scussion of the proposed amendment of the Constitu tion. The stibject was: ably discussed ' by Mr.' Fessenden. In the House, Mr. Brooks . presented, a petition signed by a large number of woman, asking the right of suffrage.— He thought it should go to the Commit tee on Post Offices and Post Roads, as committee related to mails. After some jocular reinark - s by various members the petition Was referred to the Commit tee on Reconstruction. 4 bill was reported extending the homestead law to public lands in the South, prdviding that color should be no bar to entry upon and pre=emption of such lands.
