Smart Dodge, Since the nomination of Dr. Shepard for Senator, by the arti Lsndon Republicans of Bradford, the Black Republicans, fearing that he will also be run by us, are industri ously circulating the charge, among Demo crats here, that '-he is even more radical on the negro sufltuge question than Landon." We have the rao6t satisfactory assurances, from the best democratic authority, thai Dr. Shepard, fully and cordially endorses (be restoration policy; and is con tent to leave the political status of the negro where it nuw is. On these—the only im portant political issue in this election—be stands where every democrat stands. Charges of radicalism, from men that can vote for George Landon —a man who baa praached the equality of the negro for a life time, come with very bad grace indeed ! The man whose vote, in the language of a brother preacher, "robbed'' the honest tax payers of the state of $10,000,000 will have to resort to some other artifice to get their vote* to suatain hitn in bis iniquity and corruptive. A Word to Democrats, Otte week from Tuesday next, the election for Statt, disirict, and county officers will be hell .The time is short. Much work is to b# done, By a proper iffbrt, success can and will bo secured. Loieveiy man do hie dutj*. Do not depend upon other's doing what you ought to do yourself. See that every man in your Township, who will vote against ne gro suffrage and negro equality, is assessed this veeK. See to it that alt returned sol diers, whom the Republicans would degrade to the level of the negro, are in position to vote against the infamous doctrine, that "COLOR IS NO TEST and must be no test of the rights of citizenship. 1 ' Ou this issue— the only one presented us by the opposition —white men mnst and will. succeed. Let every man go to work earnestly and ener getically. Get a pledge from your neighbors 1 that they will atleDd the polls, and vote and work with ynu. Thoae who arc unable to go themselves, mast be carried there—every Tote is important. Lawlessness, dishonesty, and corruption, are running rampant in the land. The evil tendencies of the doctrine of Black Republicanism are but too apparent, and must be checked. A pampered, o'er fed, naunied aristocracy is springing up, who al ready demand the fruits of your labor— your sweat and toil—in exorbitant taxes from which they are exempt. Let no man think the present election an unimportant one. It is important and worthy of your best and noblest efforts Let no man be caught napping. THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE PLATFORM ••Who according to Republican Prtoclcles are to eujoj the Elective Franchise I*' The Wyoming Republican of August 2d in discussing tbis question, under the above cap tion. says : "THAT COLOR IS NO TEST, AND MUST BE NO TEST OF THE RIGHTS OF CIT IZENSHIP. We are in favor of amending \ the Constitution of this State so far as to re move the disability now resting upon that prescribed class of t ilirens (the negroes) just as speedily as that Constitution will per mit. The State which discriminates against a tax payer or a brave defender of her rights f*r the simple reason that he is not so white as a NEWLY IMPORTED MASTER OF THE SHILLALAII, need not expect to hear the heavenly commendation, i Righteousness sxalteth a nation." Speaking of President Johnson's position on this question, the Editor, in the same ar ticles, declares in favor of bringing about his pet idea of negro equality by colonixing the Bouth with northern fanatics. The President,has defined his position up stl this matter so clearly and decidedly that us 0,.e can mistake it. If hit plan ofrecon♦ struction is the correct one, in the estimation of Congress,then the States lately slave States, will exclude negro suffrage until a new or der of things is brought about by the en trance into those States, of a NORTHERN ILBMEXT WH.CH CANNOT BE SHUT OCT." 0 Are you in favor of negro suffrage 1 roe the abolition ticket and It will be that jnnch towards securing it. If jot want to exempt the rich mana mon •3 from taxation, vote the abolition tiek#t. UXUUI and the Tonnage-Tax Swindle The following article from the Intelligencer, a republican paper printed here, bjr tha Rev. B. B. Emory-.now, a clerk in one of the De partments at Washington—shows how Lan don's vot#—by which the infamous "Sunburj A Erie R. R.," and "Tonnage* tax swindle" kills, were passed—was looked upon, even by his warmest supporters, and apologists at the time of their passage. Coming from a brother in the church—one of its minister*. sod a political friend ; who can doobt the truth of hts allegations, or the juatness of his conclusions 7 READ. "LEGISLATIVE —The Sunbory and Erie Rail R'ad bill, and the bill commuting the l tonnage tax, hare passed bo'h Houses of our Legislature, THUS TAEIMO $10,000,000 FROM OCR STATE TREASVRT AT ONE GRASP. We admit, that the passage of those bills was on ly a question of time, for there has not been n Legislature during the past thirty year* and probably not since ibe adoption of the Constitution, which could not have been bought, body and breeches, Governor and all, with a quarter of that sum. But while ad tnitting that, we say to these Representa tives and Senators who sopported those measures, yuib 7 The founders of our government intended that the white should be the governing race in the countr) , and it will be a calamitous day for both peo ple when the black man is given the political franchise, and entitled to hold office. lam opposed to any change in the State C<>nsti tu:ion in this respect ; and deny to Congreae all right whatever to fix the qualification for suffrage in any State. lam in favor of President Johnson's poli cy of restoring the States, lately in rebellion, to thoir constitutional obligations. I cannot admit that their ordinances of secession took any of them out of the Union. For a time an armed force interrupted their eonstiiutior.al (unctions,but did not destroy their ideality ss Stttes. Hence the States, in their polit ical signification, not having been destroyed, they need no reconst'action bat simply to be reetored to their reciprocal rights and duties ; when the Onion will be made whole a* before. Whenever they shall send repre sentativee to Congress who are qualified by the Constitution, and the laws of the respec tive States, there is no rightful power in that body to refuse their admission, f appreciate the peculiar and trying situatien of the President, and think he should be treated with forbearance by all parties. His plan ••f restoration gives evidence that he does not intend to ignore the rights of the States, and be led esptive by the radical doctrine of con aolidation. The Convention did well to demand an immediate and complete restoration of all civil rights in the loyal States. If there was an excuse for withholding them in the days of actual rebellion, there certainly can be rone now. You ssy to the President firmly, but kindly, restore to us the habeas corpus, and trial by jury, as fully ss they were en joyed before the rebellion, and abolish milita ry courts except for trial of persons in the military courts except for trial of persons in the military service of the United States These things are granted to the people by the Constitution, and withholding them vio Istea in spirit and in fact. W ben we ask tbat they be restored, we only demand what belongs to us. I am in favor of the most rigid system of eomomy in the administration of public af fairs. In view of the heavy taxation there should be retrenchment in every possible way, All officers civil and military, whose, services a state of peace does not absolutely require, should bo ji-pmsed with; and our systom of taxation should be so amended an d equalised, that every man will be obliged to bear his share of the public burden according to his ability. 1 am pleased that the Convention took ac tion on the subject of equalising tbe bounties of soldiers. There is every reason why the patriotic men who enlisted in 1861 should be placed on an equality with those who enlist ed at a later period. Should I be elected, whatever influence I may possess, official or otherwise, will be exercised in obtaining jus. tice for the early defenders of the government. Whatever honor others may have acquired in the eontest just closed, the private soldier who bore tbe heat and burden of tbe day, will always remain tha true hero of the war and he is entitled at all times, to our consid eration and gratitude. My peat history is sufficient guarantee that I shall not overlook hie claims. I remain, very respectfully, your obedisot servant. W. W. H. Davis. Letter ef Cel. John P.

Stan ton, Secretary of War is justly chargable with tbe long detention of our prisoners in tbe Southern stockades, he having refused persistently to exchange them, on tbe ground that tbs rebels would not exchange whites for negroes. Thus on account of Stanton's whim in regard to the status of the negro,thousands of the unfortunate braves who le|i into ibe hands of the rebels, perished in the prisons of the South. This is substantiated by Mr. J. H. Browne, the corre-pondt nt of the N. Y. Tribune, who was, himself, a prisoner at Andersonville, and who has always been an ! ardent "Republican." In a letter dated Aug. 8,1865, Mr Browne uses tha following em phatic language; "That they (the Union prisoners at the South) wre not saved, i s due J alone to Ediein M. Stanton's peculiar policy and dogged obstinancy ; and, as 1 have re marked before, HE IS UNQUESTIONABLY THE DIGGER OF THE UNNAMED GRAVES THAT CROWD THE VICINI TY OF EVERY SOUTHERN PRISON WITH HISTORIC AND NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN HORRORS." This monster, who held in so light esteem the livea of the men who were fighting to save his very neck, haa been endorsed in tbe most unequivocal manner by tbe late Abolition State Conven tion. The resolution of approval of his offi cial conduct is as follows : REVOLTED, That we recognise in Edwin M Stanton, the present honest and able head o tbe Department of War, a public servant who hss deserved well of his country and has borne himself so clear in hi a great office as to merit the earnest gratitude of all loyal men ; and we tender to bim and to his divtinguivh colleagues in tbe Cabinet, our thanks for tbelr valuable service# in tbe uae of liberty and law. AH his despotic acts, his violations of lsw, his open defisuce o.' (be Constitution, bis ar bitrary arrests, bis shameful violation of the liberty of tbe people, and bis outrageous ef fort to override the ballot-box by force,are all endorsed by the late abolition Convention Shame !

A MEMBER, Horse Thieves Captured.— Two young men who represented themselves as just discharged from the army, stole a pair of horses from th* stable of Robert Myers a few nights since Tbey were traced as far as Sterlingville, where all elue to the course they had taken, was lost. S. II Jenkins our tress urer, went to Binghamton a day or two after, and found that the thieves had passed through that place but a few hours before. Procuring an assistant with a pair of fast hrses he gave chase. After several hours drive they came up to the tbieTes who, sns peering they were pursued, leaped from their stolen horses and ran across a field for the woods. One,was immediately taken. The other, being fleeter of foot was about scaling toe last fence and entering the woods when ''Baui," (who by the way, seems not very well adapted to a long race) nabbed bim and and he surrendered, "unconditionally." They were brought here, lodged in jail, and the horses returned to iht-ir owner pretty well jaded and worn down by tbeir journey. The thieves gave their names as Charles and William Thompson say that tbey are brothers, and they were robbed in Balti more since their discharge from the army. They look rather green, and hardly como up to our ideal of professional horse thieves. It is to be hoped that this is their first offense, and that its results will warn them not to repeat it. TOWN TAI.K. "If there's a hole in a' your coats I redeye tent it : A chiels aiming you taking cotes, And, faith, he'll prent it." vw It affords Town Talk much gratification in having nothing of a riotous and disagreeable nature to record duiing the past week. Intact, within the time of our sojourn among the good people of this town, there bus not been a week as-free lrom rowdy ism as the one jost past. Another thing that adds to our gratification is, that we understand that quite a number of our young men who have hitherto been fervent devotees of the god Bacchu"-, have concluded to eschew the flowing howl altogether. This is well. We feel like patting every individual one of them upon the b ick, and exclaiming "htinky boy." If they only have the necessary stick-to-it, in this case, there is not one of them bti* > : •• t - , sse# the qual ifications to make gooi' .: ; i.-n> :aa valuable mem bers of society. There is a good many worshipers of tho rosy god still left, however, who occasionally offer sacrifices of broken carriages, barked heads skinned noses i.nd swelled hands. We prepared last week, a report of a very interesting and amusing law suit, which came off before Esquire Dewitt, but the editor rejected it. alleging that its publication would bring a perfect ■warm of enraged men and women about bis ears. That already Town Talk's - suss" hud placed him in serious jeopardy, and visions of black eyes and bloody noses were constantly float ng through his imagination. Although he had disclaimed all re sponsibility in the matter, threats bad been made by a number of young men. who considered themaelres a grieved by some of Town Talk's gossip, to make an application of s.le leather to a pnrt of his person that it would be somewhat indelicate to mention. He therefore respectfully requested Town Talk to "draw it mild." We thought we had been doing So. We have noticed a nuuibsr of incidents that have occurred, with th- utmost delicacy, as we supposed, not wishing to wound the feelings of any person ; while at the same time they were deserv ing of the highest con lemnation. Now, it would grieve us sorely to see the classical countenance of the editor disfigured by a bruised eye, and we there fore, with the great magnanimity that is character istic of our disposition, take tho whole responsibili y upon ourselves, and behind the entrenchments of our incog , are waiting with becoming meekness and resignation for the kicks and cuffs which these pugnacious gentlemen are disposed to visit upon us. The evening breezes waved a curl, Of Carrie's glossy, raven hair ; It lingered o'er the shoulder white, Then lodged upon the bosom fair. Oh, happy ringlet ! wanton wind* ! That thus can stray mid virgin treasures If happiness like yours were mice, I'd envy not the gods their pleasures. NOT* —We duly appreciate "Town TnlkV' con- I siderjtion and charity, for any endangered portion ! of our 'corporation,' ' and hope that his or her— | whichever it mhy be—kindly assumption of 'the resjonsibility," will at least save us from a 'setting up" in the boot and shoe business until after the election. Such an addition to our already over taxed body, might interfere materially with our running We're a candidate, and don't want to be plated hors de combat before the final struggle. When that comev, we expect to tike what comes with it. While expressing our gratitude for the ex hibition of such a superabundance of "the milk of human kinduess," wt, think "Town Talk's" "buz lum" contains something even more worthy of com mendation than thia. We allQdeto ' Town Talk's" modesty, in taking no credit for the "great moral reformation ' effected in so short a time in onr midst. Under the fostering care of hosts of Temperenee Lecturers, Ministers of tho Gospel, Ministers of Justice, High Constat)las, Low Constables, Tavern keepers, UDd other moral reformers generally, the morals of the town have grown frightfully less, year by year. "Town Talk," by a few adroit quiv ers of the pi ngent pen, pierces the heart of the wicked and shameless sinner, fills it with reinerae j for past offences, and high and noble resolves tor the future, wraps the penitent in the cloak of charity and stnds him on his way rejoiemg. In short, "Town Talk" has set the town all right in "the twinkling of a lamb's tail." And for all this, takes no credit to him or herself! What modesty ! What humility ! Nothing, but this innate modesty, wil! prevent Town Talk from being the next President, or what smM bejtlll be ttsr—the President's ü belter half."- E Married.
