When Mr. Seward, eighteen months ago, gave passports to negroes as '' American cit izens"—when, at the instance of Mr. Sum ner. a negro was recognized as Minister from Hayti, and diplomatic intercourse was, for ihe first time, opened with those who com mitted the St. Domingo massacre—when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued un der the plea of " military necessity," and when negroes were enlisted and drafted, and when they were styled by the President " American citizens of African descent"— successive steps were taken towards the ac complishment of a long-predominated, deep design That design is negro suffrage, negro equal ity : and on the 13th of October next the pe<ple of Pennsylvania are to pronounce their decision on the question. To make tae issue clear and fair, the De tnocracv have nominated Judge Woodward, who, in the S'ate Convention which framed the present Constitution, advocated the in sertion of the word " WHITE" in section one of the third article, which provides that— " Every WHITE freeman of the age of twen ty-one years, having resided in this Slate one year, and 111 the election disstrict where he offers to vote ten days immediately preced ing such election, and within two years paid a State or county tax which shall have been assessed at least ten days bef iVe the election, shall enjoy the r%hts of an elector." The Republicans have nominated Judge Agnew, who was also a member of that Con vention, and who strongly opposed the in sertion of the word " white" and earnestly advocated negro suffrage, and Governor Cur tin, a metnbtr of the Altoona - Conference of Republican Governors which urged the Emancipation policy upon the President. The freemen of Pennsylvania should ex amiue the r ecord, and remember well that the same men who have advanced thus far to the attainment of their purpose are the same who brought the " enormous pressure" to hear upon him, to secure the Emancipa tion Proclamation, of which the President complained in his address to the Congress men from the border States and to the Chi cago Committee—the same who, in the States of Massachusetts and New York, have permitted negroes to vote—the same men with whom the*® National Union party" are identiCed in Congress and at the polls, and the same who cloak their ulterior object un der the pretence of" military necessity." 3 hey ascribe the fall of Yicksburg and Poit Hudson to negroes, forgetting the ser vices of white volunteers. The next argu ment will be, Those who fight shall vote—as suming that negro troops are the equals of white soldiers, and that negro voters are the equals of white Ireemen. That this is their real design is certain. Let theus speak for themselves. They declared it once, and are now carrying out their project in secrecy, by gradual advances, to avoid suspicion and di rect opposition. Ou the ICth of October, 1353, Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at Beoria, Illinois, in which he used the following language : " What Ido say is, that no man is good enough to govern another man without the others consent. 1 say this is the leading principle, the SHEET ANCHOR of Ameri can Republicanism. Our Declaration of In dependence says : "' We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, LI HERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.— That to secure these rights, Government are instituted among men, DRIVING THEIR JUST POWER FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOV EREND." " I have quoted so much at this time, merely to show that, according to our an cient faith, the powers of Government are derived from the consent of the goverend Now. the relation of master and slave is, pro , tenia, a total violation of this principle | The master not only governs the slave wt li mit his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes f<>r himself. Allow ALL the governed an EQUAL VOICE IN THE GOVERNMENT, and that, and that only, is self government— Howell's Lile of Lin coln, page 2i"9. Again, in a speech in Chicago, during the last Presidential election, which we lind pab lished in the Illinois State Journal , the State organ of the Black Republican party of Ill inois. on the 16th of September, 1856, Mr. Lincoln said : " That central idea, in our political opin ion, at the beginning was, and until recently continued to be, the equality of men. And, although it was always submitted patiently to whatever inequality there seemed to be as a matter of actual necessity, its constant working has been a steady progress toward the PRACTICAL EQUALITY OF ALL MEN: " Let past difference as nothing be ; and, with steady eye ou the real issue, let us re inaugurate the good old central ideas of the Republic. We can do it. The human heart is wth us; God is with us. We shall again be able not to declare that all the States, as States, are equal, nor yet that all citizens, as citizens, are equal, but renew the broader, better declaration, iucluding both these and much more, that all men are cre ated equal." again, in his speech at Chicago on the 10th of July, 1858, Mr. Lrneoln said • '• I should like to know if, taking the old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal tipon principle, and making exceptions to It, where will it stop I If ONE MAN -AI 1 - II Don MOl MEAN A NLGR9, "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 1863. WHY NOT ANOTHER BAY IT DOES NOT MEAN SOME OTHER MAN ? If that declaration is not the truth, let us get the statute-book in which we find it, and tear it out. Who is so bold as to do it ? It it is not true, let us tear it out! [Cries of 4 No! no !'] Let us stick to it then ! let us stand by it then. * * * * Let us discard all this quibbing about this man and the other man—this race and that race and the other race being infe rior, and theaefore they must be placed in an inferior position—discarding the standard that we have left us. Let us discard all these things, and unite, as one people thro'- out this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that ALL MEN are created equal * * * I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms UNTIL THERE SHALL NO LONGER BE A DOUB'L THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL." See the volume of the debates between Lincoln end Douglas, which have been re vised by Mr. Lincoln sine his nomination for the Presidency, pages 23, 24. Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, twice elect ed Governor ot Ohio, and elected Uuited States Senator from that State, by the Black Republican party, was presented with a sil ver pitcher by the negroes of Cincinnatti on the 6th of May, 1845. In response to the presentation, he said : "In what I have done I cannot claim to have acted from any peculiar consideration of the colored people as a separate and distinct class in the community, but from the simple conviction that all the individuals ot that class are members of the community, and. in viriue of their manhood, entitled to EVERY ORIGINAL RIGHT ENJOYED BY ANY OTHER MEMBER. We feel, therefore, that all LEGAL DISTINCTION between individuals of the same community, founded in any such circumstances as color, origin, and the like, are hostile to the genius of sur institutions, and incompatible with the true theory of American liberty, SLAVERY and oppression must CEASE, or American lib erty must peiish. " In Massacnusetts, and in most, if not all, the Eew England States, the colored man and the white are absolufely equal before the law. " In New York the colored man is restrict ed as to the right of suffrage by a property qualification. In other respects the same equality prevails, 9 I embrace with pleasure this opportuni ty of declaring MY DISAPPROBATION nj (hat clause, of the Constitution which denies to a portion of the colored people the right of suffrage. " True Democracy makes no Inquiry about the color of the skin or place of nativity, or any other similar circumstance of condition. I regard, therefore, the EX CLUSION oj tfye colored people as a body from the elective franchise as INCOMPAI IDLE with true Democratic principles ** The Hon. lit Pry Wilson United States Senator from Massachusetts, in a speech de livered in the Senate on the sth of May, 1858 said: '■ Now, Mr. President, T live in a Common- WEALTH that recognize* the ABSOLUTE AND PKKVECT KAOAJ.TTT of all men of all races.— A mulatto or negro in the State 1 represent is not only a citizen of the State ; he not on ly has the right to vote, but, if the people choose to do it Ihey may elect hiw to any of fice in theii giit.^—Cong. Globe, Ist Scss 35/A Cong , page 19GG. Iu 185G, Senator Wilson said: '•Sir, lam proud to live in a Common wealth where every man, black or white, of every clime and race, is recognized as a tnan, standing upon the terms of PERFECT AND AESoLL'Ty: EQUALITY before the laws."— App, Cong. Globe, lsL Sess. 24(h Cong page 393. Senator Wilson made a mistake when he stated that there was perfect equality in Massachusetts. Such is not the case. By the laws of that State, A FOREIGNER CANNOT VOTE IN IT FOR TWO YEARS AFTER HE HAS BEEN NATURALIZED AND A CITIZEN OF THE STATE, WHILE A NEGRO, UNDER THE SAME LAW, ACQUIRES A VOTE IN ONE YEAR J AND what they have done in Massachustts they will do in Pennsylvania, if they have the power. On a former occasion, (page 18G4,) Mr. P r*ssondon the Black Republican Senator run Mayne, held forth in this wise : , "By the laws of Maine, and under the Constitution of the State of Mayne, free ne groes are citizens— .just as muth citizens in he Stale of Maine a a white men. It has been so solemnly decided bv the highest tribunal of our State since the decision of the Dred Scott case. The Supreme Court of Maine has decided that they aie entitled to all the privileges—that they stand upon a PERFECT EQUALITY with white men —under 'he Constitution and laws of that State.— They are voters, and recognized as citizens under the terms of the Constitution, which allows any citizen to vote." Here we have the Black Republican su preme Court of Maine actually nullifying the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, so intense is their love for the negro ! Is this not enough to startle and alarm every lover of his country ? Now, listen to Cassius M. Clay, who was the chief competitor against Ilamliu for the nomination for the Vice Presidency in the Chicago Convention, and now Minister to Russia : " Our Legislatures, State and Federal, should raise the platform upon which our free colored people stand ; they sh uld give to them full political rights to hold office, to vote, to sit on Juries . to give their tesimn y, and to make no distinclio • between them and ourselves. The INSTRUMENT called the Constitution, after pronouncing all men equal, and having equal rights, suffers slavery to exist, a free colored person to be denied all poliitical rights, and after declaring that all persons shall enjoy a free Intercourse with the States, suffers the free negro to be driven out of all, and excluded from such rights.— Deliver me from such an instrument thus partial, thus unjust, that can be thus per verted, and made to sanction prejudices and party feelings, and note tbo accidental-dis tiuotiou of color. 5 ' - This BUck Republican maniac raves at the Constitutien because it dees not guaranty the equality of the negro with the white man ! Now, let us hear from Horace Greeley, " the chief cook and bottle-washer," in the Chicago Convention, whose efforts there brought about the nomination of Lincoln. As far back as the 17th of January, 1861, Greeley thus spoke in his Tribune : " We loathe and detefj; ali laws which give or withhold political rights on account of color. 4 A man's a man for a 4 that,' and ought to have the full rirhls of monhond, whether his ancestors were Celts, Goths or Hottentots, whether his complexion be ebo ny or ivory. * * * * All constitution al exclusions of any class from the polls, the jury-box, &c., because of color, are aristocrat ic, unjust and infamous." Again, in 1855, we see him proposing and urging the nomination for Congress of that uotorious negro, Fred. Douglas. Just listen to him: 44 Among the candidates put up by tne convention of the Liberty party at Utica, on Wednesday, is Mr. Frederick Douglas, of Monroe county, who is nominated for the office of Secretary of State. With respect to ability, a better nomination could hardlv be desired ; but we confess that we should re gret to see Mr. Douglas, elected. His prop er place is not a member of ihe State Admin istration at Albany, but as a member of Congress at Washington. For* the former office he possessed no qualifications that might not be found in other gentlemen, while for ihe duties of a representative of Washing ton he is particularly gifted. As an orator and debater he possesses both the force and the grace of a Virginia gentleman of the old school and one of the first families, to which a great depth of conviction and a resolution worthy of the best days of the R public and a persuasive and magnetic charms not often felt in the Federal Capitol. We trust, then, that the friends of Mr Douglac will not per sist in urging his election to the office for which he is nominated, but will makg every preparation to return him to Congress <>n the very first vacancy in the Monroe district." In the Tribune of September 17th, 1830, Greeley thus speaks in regard to the right of the negro to vote : " Understand clearly that the question of allowing or forbidding negroes to vote in our state U not before the people. Let the result this fall be as it tnay, negroes will continue to be voters in our Srate. The simple ques tion'to be decided bo the people is—Shall a very inconsiderate fraction <>f our people con tinue to be deprived of the right of suffrage f>r want oft* 150 worth of dirt ? If so. on what principle I Their black skins do not in any event disfranchise them. Shu I their poverty do so ?"* Now, hear the old apostle of Black Repub licanism, Joshua R Giddings. In his speech in the House, December 18, 1855, Mr Gid dings sa'd ; " ihis Government was founded for the purpose, design and end of'securing all men under iis jurisdiction in the enjoyment of life. liberty and happiness.', It is now placed In our hands. On this rotk the Republican church was founded,a nd I speak reverently when I sny the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' * * When we say'a//men are thus endowed,' we mean what we say. We do not refer particularly to the high or low, the rich or the poor, the negro the mulatto, or the white, but to all men who bear the image of God and are endowed with certain inalienable rights : that among these are life, liberty , and the pursuit of happiness." When questioned in the House of Repre sentatives, the Hon. N. P. Banks, afterwards elected Speaker of the Hosue, and Governor of Massachusetts, by the Black Republicans, declared his inability to decide whether the white or black was the superior race, but would leave the question to be decided by ab sorption or amalgamation ! He said : '• So far as he had studied the subject of races, he had adopted the idea that when there is a weaker race in existence, it will succumb to, and be absorbed in the stronger race. This was the universal law as regard ed the races of men in the world. In regard to the question whether the withe or the black race was superior, he proposed to wait until time should develop whether the white race should absocb the black, or THE BLACK, AB SORB THE WHITE." In this country the doctrine of negro equality presents itself in a two fold aspect. To the people of the North it says, " You must Rtrike down all laws which erect a bar rier between you and the black man ; he is your equal, entitled to vote, hold office sit at the satne table with you and marry your daughters. Y'ou must give him the same political and 6ocial rights you enjoy, fur he Is your equal, and entitled to them !" Are the people of the North prepared for this ? To the people of the South negro equality says : " You must free your negroes and give them all the rights you now enjoy, for they are your equals, and entitled to their freedom and the political and social privileges enjoyed by you." Jn regard to the Declaration of Indopend ence giving any color to this hideous doc trine of negro equfity, it is a sufficient an swer to say that when it was drafted every State fn this Union but one were elavehold ing Spates ; and it is an arrant humbug to say that these States would have thus made a declaration amounting to a virtual emanci pation of their slaves. INDUED, LEST THIS IDEA SHOULD RECEIVE ANY COUNTENANCE, THE WORD " FREE" WHICH WAS IN TIIE ORIGINAL DRAFT OF THE DECLARATION, WAS STRICKEN OUT. THE " ALL MEN" IN IT IS OF A PIECE WITH" WE, THE PEOPLE," IN TIIE CONSTIUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, AND REFERS ALONE TO WHITE MEN. NOBODY CONTENDS THAT THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE BLACK "PEOPLE" TIIE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE, OF HOLDING OFFICE, AND OF SOCIAL AND POLITI CAL EQUALITY. NO MORE DOES THE "ALL MEN" IN THE DECLARATION GIVE THEM THESE PRIVILEGES— THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A GOVERN MENT OF WHITE MEN, MADE FOR WHITE MEN AND REULD BY WHITE MEN, ALL OF WHOM ARE-EQUAL." This is the idaa expressed by Stephen A Douglas, when he *9l-1 : " I hold that this government rvas made on the WHITE BASIS, by WHITE MtN.fr (AP benefit of WHITF. MEN and their POSTERITY forever." This is the secret of the pretended, the boasted philanthr >pv of Abolitionism 1 of its sympathy with John Brown—to make blacks voters, and to secure power, in defiance ol the white men of the country—first emanci pation, and serviie war even at the expense of the Union ; then negro troops, and then negro suffrage. John A Andrews, Governor of Mass a chuselte. ■presided at a John Brown sympa thy meeting on the 19 November, 1859. at which Wendell Phillips and B. If. Emerson made speeches. He, too, made a speech, and from it we make the following extract : " John Brown and his companions i n the confflict at Harper's Ferry, those who fell there and those who are to suffer are mur tyrs to an idea. There ie an irrepressible confiic' (great applaus< ] between freed .n and slavery as old and as immortal a* the irre pressibie conflict between nght and wrong They ure among the martyrs of that conjfi'c JOHN BROUN WAS RIGHT.

We next quote from the Winstcad {Con necticut) Herald, a strong Republican paper: 1 " For one, we confess we l<ire him, we hun or him, we applaud him.

We quote from his pa per (the Tribune) of July 25th, 1854: "We contend that the Ab dition of slavery in the States is the real object of the Jlepub lican parly. 4 "Admit that Abolition in the Statts is what ail men ought to strive far. and it is clear to our mind that a large majority are not preparda for this, and the practical size is this ; shall we politically attempt what will certainly involve us in defeat and Jail ure 1 or shall we not ra'her attempt that which a majority are ripe for, and thu. by our consequent trumph invite that majority to go farther ? shall we insist on having all the possible eggs now, o be content to await their appearance daj' by d \!

If loyal leaguers are patriots, and patriots are the only Union uien in the cm ntry, had we not better have all tho loyal leaguers in the army? Let those who profess ALL the loyalty of the land, and want to hold ALL the offices, join the army at once, and thereby end ho infernal rebellion. ITEPIMS: $1.50 FEU A.^3MUM OCCASION AL TRUTHS PROM REPUB LICAN SOURCES. The New Haven (Conn.) Courier, a devot ed Republican paper, says: " Contractors have carried on the war.— The blood of our men, the graves of our kill ed, the tears ot our orphans and widows, have been coined into money. They hare swindled the government out of hundreds of millions. They have piled fortune upon fortune. As a distinguished efficer at Wash ington said " all the operations of this war are managed by political swindlers." The Harrisburg Telegraph, published by an office holder under Lincoln, says : " The lust of gain, the greed of power and temptation of position, which now prevail among a very large class in the free States, has had much to do with the prolongation of the war." Again : " Seven out of every ten officers now in the service deem it to their interest to pro long the war, simply because with the end of the war will come a suspension of posi tion and salary, such as these men never re ceived before, and never can receive in any civil position for which their talents fit them." * An 1 again : " Added to these are a large class in the mercantile and financial world, _ men of im mense influence, who are amassing colossal fortunes solely by the prolongation of the war." These truths should arrest the attention of all sober minded, well disposed citizens who desue the welfare of their country Corruption, dishonesjy and gross misman agement have been, and still are the promi nent characteristics ot the Liucoln Abolition Administration. Snail these things contin ue ? It is fur the people to decide. WHY IS THE DRAFT NECESSARY I In the wiuter of 18(32, Mr. Fessenden, Re publican Senator from Maine, in a speech in ttie Senate said : "In every Slate ol the Union there aro men who are paid from month to month, not caked in me held absolutely, for the ieason that G iverntnent has no occasion to use them, and yet no step is taken to disband these men. Why not disband them if they are n.t wanted? We have 250,000 more t.. '\e ever intended to have. It is exti va gi:.ce .f the ui si wanton Kind. I oSered a proposition to stop all enlistments." Senator \Y ileou, of Massachusetts, said: '• 1 have over and over again been to the War Olfice, and urged upon the Department to stop recruiting in every part of the coun try. \\ e have uad had the promise that it shcfuU be done.
