Ijif Democrat, HARVEY SICKLER, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA Wednesday, Jan* 3, 1866 . Change of Ir. John, his political God-father, con cluded to send liim up into this benighted region as a sort of missionary. Alter he had arranged to tome, the Draft struck him. In violation of the law, he was all owed to sneak out,under the paltry and false pretext that "the cause of education might otherwise suffer !" His boastful annouuee ment to u- heathens that he "could write," his bogus enrollment lists, are apart of the history of the County. Having been al* lowed to go thus far, through the corrup tion and connivance of partisan office hol ders, we fear he will not forget their teach ings and example; and that, as he is now, "Drest in a little brief authority," he w ill show himself an apt pupil in the mat ter of prostituting official position to the basest and vilest of partisan purposes. The sneaking planner in which he wormed himself into the position, with the fact that three fourths, if not seven eights of those having business with the office prefer Mr, Miller to him, is enough to satisfy us that in thase matters Billy and his clique have but little regard for the feelings or interests of the public. But then it is said that this long-haired apostle of Dr. John"can write." Wonderful man ! Let all the people how down in adoration and biing forth their offerings. Make straight the paths of this man "preaching in the wilderness." Final- Jy, like other priest-ii Idea societies, lets take the matter philosophically ; and now that we cannot help doing so ; let's try kirn. fW Gov. Ftr e - °f Jamaica, in his re port af the late insurrection in that island, MTS that the design of the negroes was a general revolt and massacre of the whites, and that nothing but the premntureness of tha outbreak and the promptness with which it ■vas met by officials prevented its full consumption. He charges Dr. I nd-r --bill, a Baptist missionary, who visited the island two vcars ago, with having kindled the seditious spirit and other missionaries and a portion of the press with having fos tered it. Among the atrocities perpetrated by the blacks at Mutant Bay, he mentions that Rev. Mr. Ilerschel's tongue was cut out while he was still alive; Mr. Charles I'rice was tipped open and his bowvlstorn out; Lieut. Hall wars roasted a!ive; Bar on Von Kettlhoidt's fingers were cut off for trophies; and the eyes of a number of others were scooped from_iheir sockets. Why.is it, with these facts before the world, that the so-called Republican party •f the dis United States (accorrding tc the radical view) do not put J-A-M-A-I C-A as the base course of their political victories •s more than we can comprehend, unless it i§ because the insurrection wa put down. But, rtfjf have done- the next best thing — tbey have justified the negro fiends and ooaderaned the officers of justice who me ted oat to them condign punishment. "X am astonished, my dear young lady jonr sentiments; you make me start. "Well, air, I have been wanting yon to atart for the last balf hour." '•Von do tvroog to fish on Sunday," Mid a clergyman ft bid lie saw eo doing "Well, sir," replied the boy "it can't be aaach harm wh*n 1 ha'at coteUd soth r Secretary MeCulloch.a Report, The Secretary of the Treasury begins hi* report by exhibiting the evila which we are suffering, and the othsr evils with ; which we are threatened, by the inflation of our currency, lie remarks that "the plethora of paper money is not only un dermining the morals of our people by en couraging waste and extravagance, but it is striking at the root of our material pros perity by diminishing labor." The paper j circulation,on the 31st of October, was over seven hundred and thirty-tour mil lions of dollars ; and it has daily increased, since then, by the reason ot the further is-, sue of national bank notes. 'lf disaster; followed the expansion, unless speedily ! checked and reduced ?" asks the Secre- J tary. He strongly advocates contraction, does not believe that any measure which can he passed bv Congress can cause embarrass— > ment, either to the government or people I or a crisis worse than is inevitable if we continue as we are. The Secretary reconi- j menus, therefore : First, that Congress de- j clare the compound interest notes no long era l.gal tender, after their maturity Second, that the Secretary be authorized to sell six per cent, bonds to redeem compound , interest and United States notes. He does j not think contraction by these means will! be injuriously rapid, but holds that it will i not be necessary to retire more than one,or j at most two hundred millions to reach the j desired result. The national debt will reach three thous- j and millions on July 1, 18GC. "Nothing ' but revenue, 1 ' says the Secretary, *'will sua- j tai'i the national credit, and nothing less than a fixed policy for the reduction of the public debt, will be lik -ly to prevent its in crease." He proposes an act of Congress that, beginning with the next fiscal year two hundred millions per annum shall be j applied to the paynffent of the principal and j interest of the public debt. He suggests also that Congress shall declare the priuci- j pal as well as the interest of the five-twen- ! ty bonds payable in coin. I'e opposes the taxation of government l>onds by states, j As to internal revenue laws, he with holds recommendations until the Commis sion reports. REFRLSUINOLT COOL. —The Cameron Telegraph organ is showing how strong the South was in men and resources, and how weak the North was, and consequent ly what a hard time "our loyal party" had in putting down the rebellion, It says : "The n-bel population of the South was 6,500,000, and they controlled the lnb-r of 3,000,000 of slaves giving them 9.500,000 of population, from which to draw tln-ir resources of men. The copperheads of the North represented a population of 7,000,- 000 out of 21.000.000, thus leaving but 14, 000,000 to afford the loyal resources of men." The "loyal" organ don't pot it strong enough. In 1864, when the 4 loyal 1 party was at its strongest, the 23 loyal states g ve Lincoln a little over 300,000 in majorities —New England alone aggregating 101,- 000. These majorities represented a popu lation of about 1,500,000, so that the "loy al' men, women and children only out numbered the "copperheads" to that ex tent —no more. This would make the number of "copperheads" in the North 9,- 000,000 and the "loyalists" otdy 12,000,- 000, Thus there were nine million "cct|>per heads" united to six and a half million "rebels," and three million negroes, mak ing eighteen and a half million pepl',(18,- 500,000,) who were pitted against tlie twelve million (12,000,000) "loyal" fel lows ! What a hard time of it the "loyal" fel lows must have had —especially those who fought with contraband and jailbird prox ies ! How brave they must have been ! Just think of it—the "loyal" fell short of the numler of "disloyal" by six and a half milliou, and it will never be definitely known perhaps, how many of that small band of the elect were required to take care of "the necessities of the Government." But, worse ever than this. In 1863-2-1 the "copperheads" were vastly more strong than in 1864, so that then the "loyal" pa triots were but a mere handful. No won der, that that band of braves was forced, by drafting, to drive the "copperheads" in to the array "like bullocks to the slaughter pens;" no wonder ttjpy were forced to ra tion, clothe and arm two hundred thousand Southern slaves as a sham ; and no wonder that so many "loyal" fellows felt it a duty to get themselves substitutes from among the criminals and lunatics in our jails.— Even supposing there were 14,000,000 "loyal" people ; that would be only 7,000,- 003 males, of all aires ; and as there • ere at least 2,000,000 men in the Federal ar mies, it must have taken 1 out of every 3| of the "loyal" males, from "muling and puking" infancy to the "shrunken shanks" of seconJ childhood. What a terrible time therefore, our "loyal" brethren—especially of the press —must have had in putting down the rebellion ! Literally "the cradle and the grave" must have been robbed (as well as the Government) "to affbred the loyal resources of men."— Patriot & Un~ Ma President Johnson and Mr, Suttnar. | The Washington correspondent of the New York Herull report* as follows : A Rich interview took place between the President and Senator Snrancron the eve ning after the Message was read in Con gress. It lasted for several hours. There were tluee or foui persons present. Sum ner is represented as having been very ner vous Soine of those present thought he would go into a fit at two or three different periods of the consolation .At any rate his ac tions justified the application of the term of being amonomaniae in regard to the ne gro. Finding himself unable to move the President, l.e finally broke out as follows : "Mr President, 1 notice that the white rebels down in Alabama and other localities in the South are talking very strong a ga>nst the Union, and denouncing it in strong terms ;car. you not do something to put a stop to it ?" The President cooly replied : "I see, Mr. Sumner, that the white rebels in Boston are talking against the Union. Can't you put a stop to it tliere ? " This confused the Senator for a short time, but after twisting in his seat for a short time he again btokc out as follows : "Mr. Johnson, the reports from the South show that the white rebels in almost every section are insulting the freedmen. Don't you think that Congress ought to do some thing to coirect this evil ?" The President, with a significant wink to the other gentlemen present, replied; "Mr. Sumner, I notice by the papers that the white rebels in Cincinati have be en re cenilv insulting white people there and knocking down one or two. Can t t Con gress do something to crrct that evil ?" It is need less to add that the stay of the Massachusetts negr monomaniac at the White House was of short duration after that thrust.

Something like the above would suit ua perhaps a little more severe on some points, but after that style. short time ago, paity of proprietors of landes on the James Island, South Car olina, started from Charleston in a boat for the ida'id, accompanied by two officer of of Gen. Sickles' stuff, but were unable to effect a landing— some, sixty uegroes having appeared on the shore and theratend to fire on the first man who should attempt to laud. The negroes refused to listen to the officers, and threatened to kill the negro oarsman if the boat should not iiumediatly leave. The boat was followed for two tniles along the shore. Two companies of the 6th Rc.'iilars have been ordered ovei to arrest all who offer resistance. These are some of the results of Gen* Saxton s in cendiary teachings To those.and others of the same kind of lawless blacks, Senator Sumner proposes to donate all the coast is lands and the. fetile lands along the rivers for thirty miles inland.
