flit Bcniocrat. ll .t-?- -i\—~ a' : J—^=^r= HAUYEY SICKLER, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA Wednesday, Oct. 18, 1865. JCT We acknowledge ourselves under obligations to the editor of the Republican. for quoting so liberally frotn the old flies of Democrat , for the past three or four weeks. He will doubtless find it greatly to his advantage, and far more satisfactory to I s readers, to tnage up his paper hereafter entirely f rnm the Democrat. We protest, however, against his mixing up and diluting our articles with his natuby parnby milk and-water nonsense. - By pub lishing thetn without comment, he would avoid the contrast, and appear less ridiculous. Besides, the associatt on is rather too humil iating to us. zzsr The nincompoop editor of the nigger equality organ of this place well knowing that ou p sense of propriety forbade us to al vocate claims to the suffrages of the people, through the colums of our own paper, for the past few \Mckspresious to our elect ion attacked us with impunity. Oblivious of the fact that there were t ther candidates equally opposed to his infamous doctrines, he p tired out all the via's of his wrath and invective upon a -'Northern Rebel aspiring to office", as be styled us. It is difficult to estimate exactly the influence exerted over the result by his frantic appeals to the people, to defeat us. Judging of it by a standard he would doubt less fix himself, we do not hesitate to declare that our majority was thereby reduced hundreds —perhaps thousands. Being so reduced, we received, a* will be seen, no greater vote than the rest of our candidates. Shame on you, Billy ! How could you do so uau'hty a 'hi. g ? r. - - " . _ The Election. So far as we have been able to learn, the entire republican vote, not only in this coun ty, but throughout the State, was polled al the recent election. By means of their se cret leagues, or some other instrumentality, they are enabled to make sure ot the attend ance of every member of their party at the elections, while we have the most indubita ble evidence of unaccountable neglect on part of democrats to turn out. This neglect seems even more apparent in some other couniies of this State than in Wyoming ; and yet, in soma of the townships in our own county, nearly or quite one fourth of the democratic voters failed to attend the recent election. Acting under the impression that it was not an important one, they have al lowed the republicans to carry the State, by a comparatively small majority, when by doing their duty to themselves and the Country we should have triumphed by a much larger one. This was a terrible mis lake, while the miserable issue of negro suf frage con tnues to agitate the country.no election can be unimportant. The denial of the republican State Committee that negro suffrage was involved in the contest will be found to have been a cheat. Indeed, Greeley so declared it before the day of election; and rebuked the Committee on account of its dishonest attempt to disguise the real issue. That attempt, however, will not pre vent thetn from insisting that Pennsylvania has decided in favor of Negro Suffrage; sod yet, had the republicrns placed themselves fairly and squarely upon that issue no sane man believes that they coul.l have carried the State. The democratic par yof this Siate may thank itself for its recent defpat. Little Wy oming is all right yet ; hut the vote was 100 close to justify such neglect in the future a* characterized the action of the democracy in some of he townships at the late election. THE New York Tribunt ' affects to speak as an oracle of the abolition party, and en deavc rs to throw obstacles in the way of the peaceful restoration of the Southern States. It does not endorse the policy of the Presi dent. From an at tide which appeared in its colums a few days ago,we cat the following pssagu ; "Now we reject to the scheme of recoil atruction which the c< {p- rheads and the un converted rebel- are crowding upon tlie pub lic as President Johnson's that it puis thi. large majority of Unionist completely in the power of the rebels, whose actual maj rity it converts into a virtual majority it converts into a virtual majority by vullify'ing rhe black Unionists politically, and thus reducing the White ones to impotence." The pretense that 'Copperheads" and *'rebels are "crowding upon the public" a scheme of reconstruction," is insiduous and shamelessly untrue. What the Tribune mis represents and denounces is the measures of the President for restoring the southern State..-) on the basis of the Constitution. The-'scheme" of rici-n-tructiou is distaste fulto Greeley, Stevens, Sumt er, et id omne QtraiM because they desire the eMghlii-hed North as well as South of a despotic oligar chy, which will allow thetn to rule the coun try in the same manner in which the Itifa-* mous ' Couuc.l of Ten once ruled /Venice They tli not dcsiie to see consiitutional rights established any where, and will oppose , H win to have the republic uni ted .— Philad.

MFDD The offioe rs of the steamship Daniel Webster,frm New Orleans oti the 221 ult., report that dur ing the landing ot priaoners at Dry Tortugas, Dr. Mudd attempted to escape, and was found in the coal bunkers of the steamer Thomas Scott, and put to hard labor wheeling sand. The quartermaster of the Scott arrested for aiding Mudd in his effort to escape. The Tribune has the following particular The prisoners at the T<>rtngas are allowed the liberty of the island, except on the day •if a. vessel's departure. At night they are expected to sieep within the fort. The night previous to the return of ihe Thomas Scott, Dr. Mudd slept outside the fort, in a shed and the nexi morning he quielly walked on board the s'eamer, burned ately disappeared into the lowest deck and sent a firemen lor Quartermaster Kelly. This was the last that was seen of him. Soon after he was missed fnun the fort, and an officer and squad sent down to search the vessel, On the very bot tom of the vessel lay a pla'fo'm re-ting on two cross-beam-; the • fficer thrust his swotd under one side, and a colored soldur inserted his bayonet under the other. The roar of pain that immediately rose told that both sword and bayonet had reached their mark ; the platform was rai-ed, and Dr. Mudd aro-e and returned to his status of a captive prisoner. lie was immediately taken to the fort and the thumb crews applied to him, and under the prns.ire of pain he ac knowledged that Keby, with whi m he had formed an acquaintance within a lew ..ats, had agreed to help htm to escape on the pro mise of receiving Mudd's gold wa'ch. Kellv was thereupon marched to Ihe fort, a diutn nead court martial held, and he was semen ced to six years' imprisonment arid haid la bor in the Tortugas. The ves-el then sail -d without Mudd or Kelly,and the papers were forwarded to Washington for confirmation. Crowding the Mourners. The heavy majority in the new State of Colorado against putting negroes on a ctvi and political • quality with white men, fol lowed by the refusal, by a decided vote, of the people of Connecticut to admit negioes to an equality with themselves, is crowding the Radical mourners ra'her hard just m w. The people are determined that thi- shall re main a white man's government., and hat' there shall be no civil and political equality of the white and black races in this country Colorado and Connecticut have applied, two breaks to retard the progress of the Radical negro-equality locomotive. The ac lion of those two States will result in great good to the country. It will encourage ['resident Johnson to press to Consunitna- ' tion his restoration policy, while it will, at j at the same time, give the Ridica! to under stand that the people will not submit to their scheme for governing the S uth, and placing whites and blacks on an equality— Cincinnati Inquirer.

Connecticut Against !fegro Suffrage. Connecticut has voted on the question of striking the word "white" from her Con stitution, and the popular verdict i* against negro suffrage and equality. The amendment is defeated by a large majority. There was no mistaking the issue in GiatSiate. The Republicans took open ground in favor of m j gro suffrage. Their journals all urged the adoption of ihe amendment as ~f vital impor tance to the success of the party in the great ' struggle for negro suffrage and equality. They were assisted in the canvass by a large ma jority ofihe clergy, who appealed to their con gregation# to vote for the amendment. All that wealth and influence could no, was dotii/ in favor of the measure. The politicians de clared that if Connecticut withheld the elec ive franchise from the A'"new, it wis io v\ in tto insist upon negro suffrage in the Southern States, preliminary to the aitnission ~f their representative# tn Congress. Ihe voters of Connecticut turned a deaf ear to the ß e appeals, and refused to s:rike , the word "white" from their Sts'e ConMi tuti< n. , By so doing, they endorsed the Pres I ideni s restoration p"licy, and took ground in favor (>f reunion with the Southern Sates under the Constitution. It is plain that the people are disgusted with the radicals. TVy wish for rep<>se, that the country may recoy er fiom the flf~c's of the struggle fr<>m which it is emerging. Hence the defeat of the ne i gro p p ty in Colorado and in Connesticut. WYOMING COUN TY •- _ OFFICIAL. __________ • * 7 f s ' r - * r . — ; —-N ; —li—t-tqwntlllPS .. -* f 2 ? 2 2 3 I r 7!?! ?!

MAILING MATTER OUTSIDE OF THE POST OFFICE. —The Post Office Depart men l at Washington is notifying i fie postmasters gen ei'aliy that ihe penalties fixed by law lor carrying letters outside of the malls, when not enclosed in G iVernment stamped envel -0 es, will be i igidly enforced heriahei in ev ery instance win re violations are known to eXi>t. Many persons have been in the hab it ol mailing their letters on the cars, on steamboats, omnibuses, harks &cbecause it yvs more convenient to do so tfiar to de posit them in the post office. Some'itneß it was especially convenient to do so, af'er it e mails a the post .-ffice had cl- 'Bed. But the law a ga'nst ifie practice is very plain. The reason 01 II is that, not only does the Government suffer from the loss of this carrying, but mail agent and mail carriers have ncancelling ap paraius to destroy stamp- wnh, ami neither l.ave they taung scales w.lh which to deter iiiitie the amount of pos'age that should be paid on a letter, and hence it flen happens that ihe uncanceled stamps have been used again and again by dishoocst persous- J ff.

Hon Montgomery Blair, in his speech at Clark-ville, Ml, on the 20 h ult., made the following statement, which shows the vile on ans made use of by the War Department to keep alive a spirit <1 hostility to the Union in the Southern Stales, and to prevent any thing like peaceable re construction Mr- Blair was formerly one of Lincoln's Cabinet and as pmol of the truth of his assertions : "Swasms of hireling writers are 6ent over the South, who go there as the English tour sts coine to America, with a foregone conclu sion against the country, inosl oj them in the j pay of the liar Depart me t, but of the non ! Ci mbaiant species, whose continuance in the se vice depends on making the impression that secession is not dead, but sleepe'h " This statement explains the s'ories oi "cru | city to the freedmen," "insubordination amongst the Southern people." &.C., which are ' continually published by "lujai" papers in i ilie N> nh.

THE "L >YAL" CLERGYMEN.—Pres ident Johnson has done nothing of late that we like be'ter than his notification to certain | revercned gentlemen of the Methodist persu i , sion, who went down to New Orleans sh- rt ! ly after Butler's occupation, and Coolly took | poa-e9sioii of such edifices there as suited them, that they must now give lhoe edifices ui to those who have a bettor title to them. The Northern gentleman seem to have been considerably astonished at this notice to quit but we guess they have no alternative but to obey. -A large amount of property libeled for I confiscation in Alexandria, Vu., is about to i bs restored to its owners. Gooil Authority, The provision* of the act of Cong reps dis franchising deserters were attempted to be embodied in our State laws last winter, and the election boards Were to be created tribo nals to decide who were deserters. The scheme failed through the rpposition of pr m inent Republicans. The Hon. A. K. McCiure of Franklin co , thus spoke in opposition to the measure : "There is no power in this Legislature bv which we can deprive a deserter of the right of citizenship ; and so long as he lias the r ght of citizenship he is entitled to al! its ad vantages. * * * I doubt not the gentleman from Butler is serious in his opinion that a deser ter is not a citizen* * But unfortunately the Constitution differs with the gentleman m iit materially. * * * J can rover consent to confer upon any election board in this Commonwealth the right to determine wh • ar-* and who are not d- ser'ers. and thus to disfranchise citi zens ft is a most dangerous precedent to entrust an authority of this sort affecting the exercise of one of the most sacred rights to anen'irely irresponsible tribunal. (See Leg islative Record, p 009 )" Mr. Brown, of Warren, the Republican Chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the House, also opposed the bill, and it was post poned and neveragain called up.

As b.ves first whisper, breathed a prayer. Her snow-white h .tic's together pressed, Her blue eves sheltered in the lid, The folded linen on the breast, Just swelling with the ch .rms it hid ; I And from her long and flowing dres, Escaped a bare and snow, foot, ! Whos step upon the earth did press ! Like a new sn w-fl.ike soft and mute ; And then, from slumbers soft an I warm, Like a young --piidr trcsh front Heaven-' Ahe bowed th it light and mat. bless form, ■ Arid humbly prayed to be forgiven." !■ j .
