.for the disfranchiseenf of traitors and
the reconstruction iof the rebel States
upon, the radical plan. The Constitu:
tions enjoins submiSsion to. this decree,
Upon the whole mass of the people.—
The question, is, can there be a just
government by th; majority If "yes"
then this verdict must pa
.expected ; if
" no" then let us 'be told by, these
'northern traitors that, republicanism is
afallure, and freedom of the- ballot a
cheat. .
-The paper above quoted plainly de
clares that the ballot 'is not filial; that
an appeal from, the ballot to the- bullet
is one of the' tenets of Democratic doc
trine. .
F e ,This is to say r---If the ballot fails us,
tlin war.' •
We confess that the bullet alluded to
does not alarm us at all. -That party
appealed from the balint_to thy bU.O
in 1861. The result is historical. The
appeal was not entertained by the arbi
terof battles, and the appellant perished
in the struggle. Its troubled ghost,,for
gettingthat." worse come to worst" up
on , which it made its rejected appeal,
now arises and walks . about to menace.
Good people, do ,not tremble. The fel-,
ow who wrote that sentence is either a
fool or a I. kn i ave ; and NI hieh does .not
much matter. For in a free country
fools are privileged to babble folly, and
knaves to kindle . fires to illuminate
the path of their retreat from danger.
But we Must not forget the moral of
the lesson. It is this: Up to 1860, ;to
party had the hardihood to appeal from
the ballot to the bullet. The whig par
ty had accepted dipat with a grace
worthy of imitation. The Democratic
party, occasionly defeated, had accept
ed defeat with 'dignity.. But in that
Year the Democratic
. party broke loose
from the Constitution and declared ,w_ar •
against the General Government. For
this they had no excuse. The Republican
party hadnotassumed the reins of power
when eleven Democratic States with
1-drew from the Union, and set up a goy.:
ernment by themselves. 'The leaders
were known as Dernociats, leaders of
that party. War followed, and follow
ing war, the-death of that party. The
'wise profit by experience; but fool's for
-get the past, and are caught in the slip
noose of their own folly.

To entourage an *Outlaw to hope for
reinstatement as ti member of society
before he has paid the penalty for crime
committed, is not only,unwise but pos
itively cruel. ;'We Can see the justice of,
the remark of a Virginia paperef a late
date when it declares that; " until the
"Democratic party disappears from the
"stage, there can be no peace for the
"South:" Such is the language of an
intense Southern paper in comment
ing uPon the Connecticut election, ov
..er which it rejoices, of course, at the
same time repudiating the claim set up
for it'aS 1' a Democratic victory."
No party—not even 'the old Federal
party: 7 -ever sunk so low in public es
teerti,• and "attracted 'to . itself so great a
measure of scorn anal contempt as the
party calling - itself 6he " Democracy."
The appearance of its leaders upon the
Veld" always etisurea its 'defeat ; and it
-is a notorious fact that during the late
campaign in Connecticut Tom Seymmir
`and his kind never once appeared on
'the field. It is 'also a notorious fact'
that ;English, Governor elect j was put
foFward as a War Democrat, having as
a member of Congress during the war,

"What will you do with Canada?"—
writes a friend who goes in for purchas
ing .. what 'we have not ,already, of the
North American continent. We reply:
Canada is destined to be - come an inde

spices. We are opposed toile absorp
tion, of Canada, were the ,absorption by
consent of the parties interested, and
without the expense of a dime ; to the
absorption' 9f Mexico under any cir
cumstances. This country is, large
enough. Lust of dominion is the bane
of nations." It so diffused the strength

Vie hold that every man should have
a fan, chance for his life; and to afford
the I P ed . ple of Tioga an opportunity to
judge of the standard of "spotless repu
tation" elevated by the Lycoining Dem
ocracy, we publish the following from
the Standard published at .Williams
port;
A. Guantistv. Esq., as was announced in
Wit week's STANDARD, has been appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Sonata, as Col
lector of Internal Revenue, for this Congressional
District. We need scarcely' say, this selection
gives general satisfaction and the appointment
was omineatly St to be made. The fact that such
Dia-Union (Radical) journals as the West
Branch Bulletin; and the Tioga County'fistitator.,
have been horrified at Mr. GUERNSEY'S appoint
meat; and confirldation, and as a consequence, are
unseating in their abuse of his good name and
unsullied reputation, is—we repeat,—the most
irrefragable evideace they could possibly give
this community 'oflis eminent qualifications, for
that responsible and arduous position.

Who has been dreataing that his title to
'his real estate is, without a' flaw . ;., The

acres of land in Penns,ylvania, upon
which the f3tatticias a claim back-stand
ing as far as 17811, and , upwards,. -which
claim has been enlarging in amount
from year to year; by the interest accru
ing thereon. In 1864,, an act was passed:
authorizing. the Surveyor General to
make out lists of all lands held by loca
'Lions, or any other ;office right issued
from the Land Department of every
description, the holders or which pos
-1 seas no patents. It is in . jabedience to_
this act that the SurVeyor General
is now pushing forWardlith,,great vig

all such lands. It,', therefore, , becomes
very important fer,every owner of 'real
estate in Pennsylvania at once to ascer
tain Whether his land hoe been 'paten

standing dues against such land• in the
land . office.- The.law of 1864' requires
the amount due on unpatented lands
only to be made out arvi entered up.• It
is now ' proposed to pbris another law,
covering cases where a, patent has been
issued and a mortgage or lien been ex ,
ecuted to the Governor for the use of the.
Commonwealth, • Many acres have been
taken possessjon of, improved and held
without even the formality of an apii

purpose of the Legislature • at once to
provide the legal means for enforcing
the claims of the State against such

there are millions of dollars due the
State, as honest debts, from parties able

'We repeat onr admonition to the land
holders of Pennsylvania, whose duty! it
is at once to trace back the titlesto their

night, some months subsequent' le
the dreamer was , comfortably esconsed '
in swarm chair before a blazing fire,
he was startled by the sereamof a. female.
In a moment his overcoat was huiried
on and he' shortly arrived on the spot
whence the cries proceeded. In a deep
ditch by the side of the road, a horse
was kicking and - plunging in a fearful
manner, attached to a jaunting - emir,
which was turned upside down. Three
persona were quickly rescued from be
neath it, and, conveyed to the house.,
Where they soon recovered from the elm
leas of the accident. The gentleman
whohad saved their lives appeared all
at once struck with one Of the patty, a . ,
young lady, whom he felt certain he , had=
seen before. The dream" was brought!,
forcibly to his recollection, and on en
tering another apartment, his visitors
were more; thanastonished to perceive
the portrait of one of themselves sus
pended from the wall. , The mystery
was soon explained, and in two months
from that day the dreamer and the
fair young lady were married in Dub

opening its eyes to the virtues of the
negro-character. A recent leading ar
ticle begins as follows
There must be 'something radically
wrong in the, head or heart of any man
who could vie*, without much. admi
ration, the general demeanor of the col''
ored people of this commonwealth dur
ing and since the war. We merely ex-.
mess the feeling of every fair-minded,.
man when we pay a willing tribute to
/the fidelity, honesty and 'diligence with'
which they discharged their duties as
slaves, while their inasterayere absent
intielleld, and to the extrememodera.-.
thin With when let alone, they
conducted themselves, in the change
from their servile 'condition to their,
present 'state of freedom.
When we remember these facts, we
gather confidence that, in the discharge
of the new duties thrust upon them by
the late action of Congress, they
disapoint the hopes of those who are
now desirous to see that 'conflict of
races begun which the war failed to ex
cite. -
A LATE number of ate,. Washington
Press contains the folloWing in reference
to Wendell Phillips "When Emerson
was in town he said to us: 'Your a.sso
elation should hear Phillips.' On being
told that the-illness 9f his wife would
probably - prevent% he said; 'Mrs. Phil
lips-has been an invalid foi- many years,
but she is a brave woman ; site would
get all the nurses in the country round,
and let Wendell speak.' In thisconnect
ion he told' us that Phillips' develop
ment into an abolitionist was due to his
wife. Wjien he was courting her
she induced him to an hear Garrison
speak. He also told this story : In those
early days, Phillips was. advertised •to
speak in Boston. Tile, mob resolved
not:to suffer him. 'the elements' were
rife for an out break. Just .• as he was
about to face the mob, a - laconic note
from his' brave invalid wife. Was put in
his hand. Itread : "Don't shilly-shally,
Wendell."
