State Convention should be called to meet at Har
ruburg on Wednesday, the 21st day of June inst.—-
But, having since learned from a majority of the

The Devil let Loose.
Our readers will please excuse us for lack
of editorial and local matter in this week's
paper. We are not much in the habit of
writing editorials, but, as the editor and pro
prietor, has, after a long imprisonment in the
office, concluded to recrute himself, and gone
off to the city, we have concluded to try our
akill in making an apology, and taken up that
potent instrument, the quill. We can scarce
ly say, with truth, that we are sorry that
our Boss has gone, as it leaves us independ
ent of control. Having read somewhere
about Satao being chained for a thousand
yeara, we feel probably very much the same
aa would Old Clouty, if he were released
from his schackles. We do not wish it to be
understood, however, that thero is the least
consanguinity between Clouly and ourself.—
Caesar may be the name of an emperor or of
a nigger, and as near a relationship may ex
ist between them as between Nicholas and
ourself, viz; the name is alike, but the par
ties ate different ; we don't love brimstone,
he does, we love fun, he misery &c. &c. All
we have to say ir. the summing up, is. read
the heading of this article; and make the ap
plication to us. Printers Devil.

The Retirement of Stanton.
The New York Tribune says it may be
asserted with entire certainty, that Secreta
ry Stanton i 6 to retire from the Cabinet just
ao soon as the military trials are finished,
aod the armies disbanded.
This retiring is an old dodge which has
become perfectly transparent. Every ob
noxious official in these days, when he is
satisfied thht he is sure to be displaced in a
abort time, procures such announcements to
be made through the press. Stanton is now
the moat prominent relic of despotism left|of
the accursed four years reign of Abolition
ism. Let him be resigned.
DOWN ON NEUR O PIC-NlCS. —Lately an
application was made to President Johnson
for permission to hold a negro pic nic on th
grounds belonging to the White II .<use. It
was refused on the ground that "the locality
should be kept free from such assemblages.,'
Farewell negro pic nice. Two years ago
when President Lincoln threw open the
gates of the White House grounds to a ne
gro pic nic, Occasional (Forney) of the Press
spoke very favorably of it, and thought it
was a move (, in the right direction." Infor
nation is wanted of what he thinks about
negro'pic-nicß now. Has his mind under
gone any change on this subject ? Please
let us know. We need not remind Occas
ional that it is disloyal not to support the
"government."- -Doylestown Dcm.
The Public Debt,
S>me of the New York papers propose pay
ing off the public debt by subscription. The
Maysville (Ky.) Bullet in, says : "A belter
way of discharging our public debt, would be
to compel the National Banks to surrender
the interest they have made upon the busi
ness they have done since their establish
n ent. Tbty have wrung millions from the
public by loaning the national credit, with
out risking a dollar, and drawn interest at
the same time, from the public Treasury, up
on the bond 6 deposited as their capital.
'lhe whole system is a stupendous swindle,
and it would be a righteous retribution if
they couid be made to relieve tbe burdens
of an overtaxed peopls, by surrendering
their profits to pay the national debt."—
These Banks not only upon the government
and the public, but they are exempt from
paying any portion of the taxes. Republi
ttaniam takes care of tbe rich.
A rumor has been current in Frankfort,for
several days, that a large pond, included in
the grouads of Camp Nelson, was drained'
last week, and nearly one hundred dead
bodies of infant children-,the offspring of
negroes—were found in the mire at the bot
tom. The atory seems too monstrous to be
traa.—Nayesriffe Byfletiri.
fpyFor the especial benefit of the Re*
publicans who may be bleaaed with accom
mo doting memories, let us examine the rec
ord of their President. On the 21st of May,
1860, he voted in fcvor of certain resolutions
in the United States Senate, declaring, "7 he
States free and' independent sovereignties
* He voted in favor of a resolution declaring
that ''interference with slavery in the States
is a breach of faith." He voted in favor of a
resolution which declared "that the Union
rests on the equality of the States." He vo
ted in favor of the resolution which declares
that "Congress oas no power over slavery in
the territories." He voted in favor of jhe
resolution declaring that "new States shall
be admitted with or without slavery, as the
people may.decide." He voted in favor of
the resolution declaring "the provisions of
the Constitution in relation to the rendition
of 6laves must be carried out." On the sth
of February, 1861, Mr. Johnson delivered a
speech, in which he said he was "opposed to
war on the South—that the General Govern
ment has no right to coerce a State—that the
Abolitionists are disunionists— secessionists
are nullifiers."—On the 12th of December,
1859, he delivered a speech in which he de
clared that "negroes are not included in the
Declaration of Independence." In a speech
delivered at the Fair Ground, in Springfield,
Ohio, in 1861, he expressed a wish for "a
rope large enough to hang the Abolitionists
of the North aßd the secessionists of the
South at one swing,"
A few days since, Presideut Johnson, in
reply to a delegation which called upon him,
with the almighty Human Freedom strategy
under their arms, very explicitly gave them
to understand that in his opinion the ques
tion of negro suffrage might be left to the de
cisions f the loyal white • population of the
States interested. The now Constitution of
Tennessee, formed under his auspices, and in
the adoption of which he held and exercised
the right of a citizen of a State, not only
excludes negroes the right of suffrage, but
from testifying in courts of justice,
Breaking Ground,
The radicals after having contended for the
past four years, that opposing the Adminis
tration was evidence of disloyalty, have at
last proved their inconsistency by breaking
ground against President Johnson, because
he will not accept the new plank in the radi
cal platform, negro suffrage. In New Eng
land, the negro worshippers, led by Wendell
Phillips, have denounced bis North Carolina
policy, which is nothing more or less than
the Democratic doctrine of State rights,—
Sumner, Boutwell, Ashman, and others of
the leading spirits of that section,have lollow
ed in the same track. The Abolition radi
cals of Pennsylvania having no original ideas
of their own, always wait for New England
idealists to give then the cue, and hiving re
ceived that, have also broken ground on thi*
question at the Republican Convention of
Allegheny County. Ther there dee'ded very
emphatically in favor of negro suffrage. They
also very mildly complimented President
Johnson, and at the same time dealt in any
amount of laudation of Secretary Stanton
An exchange alluding to this movement says
truly,- that the latter individual now consti
tutes the only link between radicalism and
power. Should he be lost, by resignation or
ticket of leave, radicalism and negro suffrage
would be sent peremptorily to "the hub,"
from whence to report, like Banks and But
ler, only when called for.
There is evidently great fear exiating among
the radicals—especially the office-holders and
contractors—lest they be Tylorized in Presi
dent Johnson. His repudiation of the negro
suffrage abomination and his declaration in
favor of State sovereignty, added to the Dem
ocratic endorsement and commendation oi
his reconstruction policy in North Carolina
have so infuriated the radical element that
they caD fiud no other relief than in declar
ing for negro suffrage in opposition to his pol
icy and views and throwing Stanton in his
face as their champion on that plank. How
ar the Stanton whip ia to be applied. and
how effective it may prove is yet to be deter
mined Ex
MILITARY DESPOTISM—MR Johnson
pledged himself to be true to his record
We hope so: Bead the following from a
speech, made in 1858. against the organiza
tion of a new regiment to operate against
the Mormons.
"Go to the governments that have risen
and fallen before us, and what has been the
cause of the downfall and decline ? ft has
resulted from.the influence of armies and na*
vies. Standing armies and navies, sustained
by money drawn from the people, are the
two arteries that have bled the nations be
fore us to death, I tell the States to bewaie,
for their sovereignty is at an end if you per
sist in your career. If we do not commence
the work and srrest the expenditures of
this government, the time will come when
this government will be overthrown ; the
time wilj come when the sound of the hoof
of the cavalry horse will announce to the
Sovereign States the approach of a usurper ;
the legions of the government in advancing
column announce a despotism ; when the
goddess which presides In the Temple o f
Liberty will descend, and the last expiring
hope of free government go staggering from
our land through carnage and through blood!'
NEGRO SUFFRAGE —The Abolitionists of
Allegheny county, here officially declared in
favor of negro suffrage. That will be the is
sue in the comming election, understanding
ly if not openly avowed by the Republican
"loyalist."
The Pittsburg Gazette is in favor of strik
ing tbe word uhite out of onr State Consti
tution. The matter will be brought before
the next Legislature in the form of . propos
ed amendment. Thiaia the ffrtt step to

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER HARRISBURG, >-
June 10,1865. J
To the People of Pennsylvania:
The bloody struggle of four yesrs is ended.
Tbe fires of rebellion sre quenched. Tbe
supremacy of law and right is re-established
The foulest treason recorded in history has
been beaten to the earth. Our country is
saved.
These blessings we owe—under God—to
the unequalled heroism, civic imd military, of
the people. Tn tbe darkest hour, under the
heaviest discouragements, falter who would,
they never faltered.
They have been inspired with the deter uri
nation to maintain the free government of
our fathers, the continued union of our whole
country and the grand republican principles
which it is their pride and duty to defend for
the sake, not only of themselves, but of the
humaD race.
I glory in saying that the people of Penn
sylvania have been among the foremost ift the
career of honor. Their hearts have been in
the contest ; thftr means and their blood
have been poured out like water to maintain
it.
The remnant of the heroic bands that left
her soil to rescue their country, are now re
turning, having honorably fulfilled their ser
vice. They have left tens of thousands of
their bro .hers on many a bloody field.—
Their memories will be preserved on our
rolls ofhonor. For their widows and fami
lies, a grateful country will provide.
Let the survivors who are now returning
to us, have 6uch welcome as befits s brave
and Patriotic people to give to the gallant
men who have saved the country and shed
new lustre on Pennsylvania.
I recommend that in every part of the
State on the approaching anniversary &I in
dependence, special observances he had of
welcome to our returned defenders, and of
commemoration of the heroic deeds of them
selves and their oomrades who have fallen.

Governor of Pennsylvania.
New Idea ef Freedom.
The Philadelphia Bulletin , a bitter Abo
lition paper, bass letter from Richmond, Va.
which 6ay>:
"Swarms of negroes havo come to the city
from a distance, knowing that they are free,
and expecting to be fed and clothed and have
nothing to do. But General Patrick has de
termined to teaah them better, and a bureau
is organiz inp, at the head of which is Cap
tain George Gibson, of the 11th U. S. Infant
ry which is to organize all the idle negroes,
and set them to some useful employment."
In the paragraph above is written the his
tory, or rather the result, of negro emanci
pation. ft comes before the beclouded vision
of tbe emancipators, that the negroes must
hare masters of some tort. Tbe question
as to their capacity to compete successfully
with the white race in the battle of life, is
beginning to solve itself, giving evidence that
they must have a directing and governing
mind over them. Government ia endeavor
ing to supply this necessity by its Freed
man's bureaus, and military organizations.
They must be attended to n some way or
tney will starve and rot. It bas become a
serious question with the. truly philanthropic
what will become of the negro? It cannot
•be answered by an assurance that he will
flourish sod erj"j tbe blessings of his liberty
uuder tbe aurvillance of a government official
who has ro interest in Lis welfare, and who
cares not what really becomes of him so
long as it pays. The negro is either quali
fied for liberty and competition or he is not.
n be is there can be uo propriety in appoint
ing military overseers over him, if he is not,
it was folly to break up his old relations be
fore providing • better system for him Ex.
PLANTER FOR CURRANT WORM".—Hon
VTm. J. Turrell informs us that he uses plas
ter as & remedy for the currant worm. lie
tried it last year successfully, and applied it
this year to gooseberries and some currant
bushes, with marked success. Other bushes
in the same row, to which Dqthing was ap
plied, have been entirely stripped of leaves.
It is thrown over the bushes with the hand,
when they are moist, and renewed after tbe
rains have washed it off. Three application!-,
have been made, and another becomes neces
sary after the late rain. The plaster should
reach every part of the bushes and leaves, as
far as possible, to be most effectual.
We have found fine soot and ashes obtain
ed by cleaning the pipe of a wnod-stove, to
be much more effectual than any thing wa
have as yet tested. It is so fine and light
that it adheres to the leaves for a long time.
One thorough dusting, with a slight addition
at tbe end of about ten days,and after a rain'
proved sufficient to entirely remove the
worms and prevent a future attack. Bushes
treated in this way are bearing and growing
as well as if never attacked by the worms.
HORRIBLE THOUGHT !—President Andrew
Johnson, in 1860, advocated the election of
and voted for John C. Breckinridge for Pres
ident of the United States. He endorsed the
Breckinridge Platform. This must be a hor
rible thought to the loyalists. A Breckin
ridger for president ! Worst of all, he was
elected by themselves ! These facts must
now rise up before them and stare tbem in
the face like some terrible ghost. A Breck
inridger, President !

General Halieck—the Halleck--our Hal
leck—the only living Halleck, who will be
remembered in history as the hero of Cor*
intb, and the enemy of Shermaß, has ordered
the Richmond Whig to take down the motto t
which, for perhaps fifty years, stood at the
head of its collumns—tbe coat of arms of
Virginia, adopted daring the revolutionary
war of 1776. The paper is now a '"loyal"
paper, edited by a gentleman, who, at the
commenctßent of the civil war four yeats ago,
belonged to its editorial corps, but who then
left and coming North, remained faithful to
the Union. < The pretense for Halleck's order
is that the assassin, Booth, uttered it just af
ter the murder dT President Lincoln. Whe
ther he did utter it is doubtful. It stands
upon the statement of an actor who says that
he heard Booth repeat it while in the bos,
and before he leaped upon the stage. Now,
Major Rathbane, who was in the box at the
time, and was immediately grappled with
Booth, say 6 under oath, that the exclamation
was something about "freedom/ 1 and he say 6
not a word about Sic Semper Tyrannia.—
This ought to be sufficient as to the exclama
Hon in the box. And in the nature of the
issue it is not probable that the assassin wu'd
with a broken leg, step to quote Latin to the
spectators while upon the 6tage, as the tele
graph first reported him. As to the kni e
which he is said to have "brandished," he
had it in his hand when he leaped down, hav
ing drawn it to stab Majot Ruthborn. The
fair presumption is, from the Major's state
ment, that Booth repeated, or attempted to
repeat, the line which Shakespeare puts into
the mouth of Cinna just a* Ceasar fell;
' Liberty ! Freedom ! Tyranny is dead."
But suppose that Booth did also ixclaira
S\e Semper Tyrannis, is therefore the proud
motto of the Old Virginia of the Union, to be
prescribed ? Then for bid the word 'free
dorn." But do not stop there—cut the ton
gues of all men lest they should speak some*
thing that the assassins sometimes may have
uttered. Let the holy word "mother" espe
pecially be forbid*n, because it was the last
word he spoke. How far is this folly to be
carried And how long is it to last I—Dayton

Politics in the Pulpit
Our Savior lived in days of violence and
tyrranny. He recognized the powers that
heathen Rome had usurped over his native
iaud. He taught his countrymen the duty
of submission to those powers. We livo in
better times by far, and '.be world may rea
sonably look from those who now profess to
be liis mtDibters, if not for a greater, at least
to aa great a degree of support for constiiu
ted powers, and of non-ioterference with
th Jr coniinnence or changes. The clergy
man, as such, 18 in this country no part of
the State. In his official capacity he has on
ly to serve the interests 01 a kingdom that is
not of this world. 11 is his care to see that
every sonl committed to his charge shall
conscientiously fulfil i's duty in its appointed
sphere. He has to watch for the spiritual
and eternal interests both of the ruler and
ihe ruled—of those who havo pol.tica! aud
civil rights accordeJ them, aud of those who
have them not. To them that are in office
it is his duly to preach equity au I self re
straint, and an ever present sense of judg
ment; to them that are their subjects, con
tentedncss, submission and moderation.
On all who have the ordinary civil rights
it is his duty to inculcate their enlightened
and conscientious exercise ; while , such as
for (my reason have never had or been de
prived of them, it is his duty, if he can, to
make them Christiana, and leave it to the
State to make them free. But to presume
from the pulpit to inflame the bondman to
rise against his master and the laws, or to
direct the freeman for what or for whom he
should use his influence and vote, or to de
nounce what may be just resistance in the
ruled, or to question what may bo the right
ful prerogative of the ruler—these things the
Christian minister was sent to do.—
IJis mission is to preach fhe gospel, and not
political conservatism or political radicalism,
or any othet 1 political ism or set of isms
that is or is to be. Ilis care and his prayer
should be that the affairs of this world may
always, by the government of God, be or.
dered peaceably. And in this peacable or
dering of secular affairs, the only professional
interest he has is this : that so the Church
whose interests far more concern him, may
serve her master in godly quietness.— Church
mon'a Monthly Magazine.
Negro Suffrage
The great political batile of the time, and
upon which will hinge the ultimate defeat of
the Republican party is yet to be fought, the
issue being that of negro suffrage. In accor
dance with its in keeping with
the recurd of its grea' leaders, and in con
sotiancc with the teachings of expcrier.ee tl e
Democratic party will oppose in every sense
the admission of the negro to either social or
political equality with the white roan.
The people of this country will never per
mit the occupation of any of the offices with
in their gift by negroes, nor will they suffer
those who are thus thrust from political con
sideration to have a voice in the selection of
their rulers. Equality to the npgro is a theo
ry, but the practical operation of the equality
system is a failure.—l hose who are now
working so zealously to insult the reason
and intelligence of the people by lifting the
negro to the level with the white race, care
as little for the welfare of the African as they
have in times gone by for peace and amity
between the North and the South. The'r
motive is a selfish one. They hope to gain a
longer lease of power, and gorge themselves
with plunder. Political supremacy is the
real object of this endeavor to thrust negro
suffrage upon the nation. Without the ne
gro yote in the Southern States, and in two
or three of the great Northern Common
wealth s, the Republican party cannot hope
to win another election
Startling Fact,
The protestant churches of this ccontry
are in a deplorable condition. Everywhere
clergymen are beginning to complain ofth
absence of christian lovo and fellowship.
They look to their congregation for au exem
plification of that which tbey have not them
selves. It is not strange that such a slate
of affairs should exist, The clergy them
selves are at fault. Abandoning the truths
of the Bible to fraternize with the Infidel
Abolitionists of New England, they have
lost the faith, and have led their people after
false gods. Love and - charity with thorn
have turned to gall and wormwood. £ And
now, with a weakened, demoralized people,
they are casting about for a remedy, and
foolishly think that in order to save their re
ligious faith from utter ruin, it is necessary
that the negro should vote, or the Roman
Catholics will becoma the stronger. No
doubt the negro element would be advanta
geous to these churches, at any rate, under
existing circumstances, it would do them no
harm. Any element that promises improve
ment is better than none. Were it orthodox
we would suggest to these Abolition war
clergy, the propriety of reptn'ance and a
new heart. God will not abandon the right
ous. — Ex.
&sr "Whv," said a country clergymen
to one of his flock, "do you always sleep in
your pew when I am in the pulpit, while
you are all attention to every stranger I in
vite ?" "Because, Sir, when you preach,
I'm sure all's right ; but I can't trust a stran
ger without keeping a good look out,"

from the first perversion of Sunday Schools, and the
