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 ?

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

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF DU. 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—

and don't like it. The following is a descrip

pen :

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.

' How the Peopie are Deceived.
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. As a pretext lor continuing ihe
sys'ern of bayonet government to the South,
hired falsifi -is are sent tlier - fur the express
purpose of keeping alive a feeling of sectional
hatied and distrust.

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.

And put sway her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deer.
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-'
