Cjjt gkmocrat HARVEY SICKIiGR, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA Wednesday, Dec. 5, 1866 At the recent annual masonic elec lion ofofficers, for the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, the following officers were chosen : John L Goddard, R. W. G. M., Rich ard Vaux, I>. G. M, R. A. Lamberton, S. G. VV., C. L. Perkins, J G, \V., John Thompson, G. S., Peter Williamson G. T. The President's Message, published in the daily papers of yesterday, on the question of a restored union, is a reaffitm ancc of his former views on that subject.— He makes no concessions to the disunion negro equality faction, as it was hinted he would do, We shall publish what it Con tains on this subject, in our next. Old Thad. Stevens and his disunion co adjutors have already commenced making open and virulent attacks upon him.— Whether they will carry out their threats of impeachment remains to be seen. llow THS CARLE WORKS —An illustra tion of the revolution which the cable is working in the business relations of the country, is afforded by the fact that Eng 3i>h orders upon the San Francisco market, for the fine wheat of California, have pass ed through New York by Atlantic Caole, and thence by Overland telegraph. We are informed that "these orders were promptly executed, and considerably within limits, and advice of purchase returned to and re ceived by the London merchant, who sent the orders in the morning of the same day. Orders have also gone to San Francisco for grain to be shipped to the New York market by the steamer of the Pacafic Mail Company, and the necessary rail facilities across the Isthmus furnished by the Pana ma Company. The Pacific Mail Company are also reported to have favorable eviden ces that an immense direct trade between the ports of China and Japan, and San Francisco and New York, will soon follow the establishment of the Oriental line of the Company. CATHOLICS IN MARYLAND. —The first permanent establishment of Catholic reli gion in th s country, was by Lord Balti more's colony in Maryland,w here some two hundred, mostly catholics, and many of thein wealthy, settled in 1633, and the first mass there was celebrated by Father Al thane, at the Indian village of Potomac,now New Marlboro, on the Virginia side of the river. At the opening of the revolution in 1 775, the number of Catholics in the colo nies and territories was estimated at 40,0ut) over one-third of them in Majylaud. The first bishop, Carrol, was ordained at Balti more in 1793. Now the Catholics have 2,550 church edifices in the United States, which at an average of 300 to each church, would give* 765.000 communicants, representing a pop ulation of 5,000,000 The Catholic Register of 1866 gives 15 archbishops, 34 bishops, and 2,505 priests, making a total of the priesthood 2,554. — Tie Catholics have 2# colleges, 26 theolo gical seminaries, 177 male and female aca demies, and 624 parochial schools, making a total of 858 educational institutions. Be etles these they have 171 convents, which are usually in.-titutions of learning, and 139 hospitals for the sick, asylums lor the aged, the indigent, and the destitute youth. The Christian Brothers and Sisters of- Charity labor in these with no other compensation than food and clothing and the satisfaction of doing good. JsFt DAVIS' QUARTERS. —A Fortress Monroe letter to the New York Iltruld says : The very fine rooms, four in number,be sides a kitchen, fitted up in Carrol Hall for Jeff Davis and family, have at length re ceived the finishing touches of carpenter mason, glazier and painter. Vacating his old quarters, which were limited to two casemates, he was moved into his new and more commodious apartments ; so that now baring his deprivation of ttie freedom of the outer world, he is snugly and as com fortably situated, has rooms as airy, as lib eral supplies of lucl,as numerous attendance of servants, and as complete and elaborate cuisine auxiliaries as any officer in the fort. His health hus recently improved most materially. He can walk unsupported, his spirits are more elastic, his conversa tion i* in much lighter ai d gayer tone, and the world generally has for him less auster ity and r< pulsivcnese. lie repines less at ihe past, is more patient of the present, and more hopeful tor the future. He now enjoys facilities not only for making himself and comfortable, but to extend be comingly hospitality to his numerous call ers and friends. In his own nnnd and that of most ot his friends, the conviction is now very firmly settled that he will re main here a prisoner all w inter. Whatev er fate may betide him he will show him self, firm and resolute in meeting it, g3T An old man of CO and a young girl of 20 are now on trial at a L'Original, O W., for the murder of their ilh gitmate off spring. e Dr..Jenks, a well known clergyman, died at Boston, on the 13th instant, ag.d 88 years. The Falsehoods o r Aholltlsnlsts What a forgetful people we are. The giddy whirl of four years of civil strife, the mad intoxication of the feast of blood upon which we have supped, seems to have driven reason, common sense, even memo ry, from herihrone! Let the reader pot on his thinking cap for a moment, and re member, if he can, one of the ten thous and diatribes which the Abolitionists have inflicted upon the country during the past twenty years to show the advantage of freed negro labor over that of the negro un der a master. Has it not been said and sung in ten thousand shapes and forms ? "Free the negro," cried these blatant "re formers," "and you shall see the South even outstrip the North." "It is slavery that depresses her energies"slavery is the cause of her being behind the North ; but give the negro the boon of liberty, give him something to labor f<>r, and the waste places of the South shall bloom as the rose!" Volumes were written, of which this is the briefest epitome. All that art, rhetoric or eloquence could bring to bear upon the subject, was reiterated to show how great a curse, slavery, so called, was both morally and economically. Especial lv were we to have tiemendous crops of cotton, sugar and rice, as soon as the shackles were taken from the poor crushed who, touched by the magical wand of universal emancipation, was to spring like another Minerva, full fledged, from the brain of Jove. But this was not all. Millions of white men were standing, arms akimbo, waiting for the incubus of "slave ry" to be lilted from the South, that they might rush in and aid in developing her resources. The crop of cotton, under the combined efforts of black and white strug gling in the grand arena of "freedom," was, according to General Banks, to rush incontinently up to ten millions of bales in no time! The wonderful Colonel Conk ling, of New York city, a most profound thinker, and as deeply read in commercial wisdom as the renowned IFbnter Van Twilier was in the intricacies of the Dutch Grammar, delivered an address just pre vious to the close of the war, b- fore the Statistical Society, of New York city, in which, with the utmo:t gravity, he pro pounded the following : "No sooner w ill "the national flag be unfurled lr. the South, "than millions from both the North and "Europe, who have shunned her slave trod "den fields, as they would the shade of the "Bohan Upas, will rush to occupy her de "serted but enfranchised lands,and will de "velope her resources as they never were "developed before. Even the blasted "wastes of slavery, revived by the touch of "Liberty, will again be made to blossom as 'the rose. The first year of peace, in all "human probability, will witness the ac cession of a million of freedom to the "population of ine South, bringing with "them, at once, the economies, the im proved processes and greater producing "powers of intelligent labor. Before two "years shall have elapsed, it is safe to pre "diet that America will resume her former "supremacy in the cotton market of the "world, never more to be deprived of it." As the renowned Captain Cuttle declared of his friend, Bunsby, "There is wisdom for you? Wisdom in solid chunks!"— And yet it is just stuff as this that readers of Abolition papers have been swai'owing for the past thirty years. Robespierre and St. Just preached it in 1780, before llayti went down, never toeome up again. Old Mr. Channing, simple soul, declared that the same result would follow n- gro freedom in Jamaica, and yet it didn't!— Our Abolitionists said the same thing, and yet, strange to say, found people to believe them. Every pig, it is said, w ill burn his nose before lie will be convinced that the swill is hot and people seim to be just as smart as the pigs, and no smarter. Here is Colonel Confidence Conkling predicting that a million of freemen will rush Southward the first year of peace.— How many have gone? We bear now ami then of Northern men going South, but we will make an even bet that two Southern men come North for business, where one Northern man has gone South. New York city is fuil of Southern men seeking a living. Such a thing was never known before. "In two years," savs this great Colonel, "America will resume her former supremacy in the cotton market." Well, the two years have nearly passed and what do we see? Where is the cot ton? All that this year will show is five or six hundred thousand bales against over four millions before the war. 'O, the negroes w ill work for wages This is all that is needed to stimulate Southern indus try " And it has been stimulated with a vengeance ! Already the Abolition press is trying to explain awav their falsehoods and let down their dupes as easilv as pos sible. The New York Tribune, after ex plaining about bad weather, poor seed, Ac. Ac., is forced to confess that the crop will, in the future, be insignificant, and then savs: "From these statements. Norther.) "farmers should barn that they must de "pend more upon themselves for a part of "their clothing. They must raise flax and wool, and provide improved spinners and "looms which save immense labor and "cloth at home, A half an aere of flax "the wool of ten or fifteen sheep worked "up every other year, will give cloth "which will gladden their family, and even "their grand children. We have never "seen a wife have such bright eves or such "rosy, beautiful ebeeks, as when she un polled a piece of flannel before her hus "band and Iter children. If one will look "closely at this cioth, and with a view to "estimate its value, he will fancy that ma "ny of the threads are of pure goM.' This is a pure specimen of Aminidab Sleekism, an insult to every person of common intel ligence. The people asked for fish and yon gave them a stone. You told thera that freeing, the negroes wao to make cot ton cheaper, but how is the promise kept ? IFhy, you tell them to go raising flax ! Tell them to return to the condition of* their grandfathers, when men pulled flax until their hacks broke, and women spun until the distaff fell trom the wearv land ! Roll back the car of civilization a hundred years, deprive poor men of cheap clothing cheap books and cheap newspapers, and call it progress! Over sevpn hundred millions of the world's inhabitants dress in i cotton alone. Cheap cotton has done more to elevate mankind than all other agencies of modern civilization combined. And yet this "party of pi ogress," this par ty of "great moral ideas," plunge the masses into poverty by increasing the costs of all the articles of prime necessity, and inflicting upon them burdens too grievous to be borne. All these calamities have been brought upon the country by syste matic falsehoods ; by persistent and often times intentional lying, by shutting the eyes to historical facts, and by a cold and calculating policy of using a popular delusion to overthrow the principles of frue republican institutions. — Banner ot Liberty. Negro Suffrage. The question of raising the negro to full political equality with white men, cannot be detached from the general one connected with a speedy arid satisfactory adjustment of the issues now dividing the States. — They are indissolubly associated. So long as the Radicals insist upon making the ac ceptance of the doctrine of negro snlfrage bv the South necessary in order that their claims for political fellowship may be con sidered, so long will they act in a manner calculated to keep the States apart and al ler.atb the people. The negro question is one full of danger in the future. It is so recognized by all the leading soldiers and statesmen of the countiy. The following sentiments expressed in General Sherman's well-known letter to Chief Justice Chase, written just after the close of his great march, are important as bearing upon this point, the General writes as follows: STEAMER PRUSSIA, BEAUEORT HARBOR,) May 6. IHGS—S o'clock, A. M. ) I am not yet prepared to receive the ne gro on terms of political equality, tor the reason it will raise passions and prejudices at the North, superadded to the causes yet dormant at the South, that might rekindle the war whose fires are now dying out, and which, by skillful management, might be kept down. As you must observe I propose to work with known facts rather than to reason ahead to remote conclusions ****** We can control the local State capitals, and, tt may be, slowly shape political thot's but we cannot combat existing ideas with force. I say honestly that the assertion openly of your ideas of universal negro suffrage as a fixed policy of our general government, to be backed by p'lysira 1 power, will produce a new war sooner or later, and one which .from its desultory character, wil be more bloody and destructive than the l ist. I think the changes necessary in the future can be fast er and more certainly made by means of our Constitution than by any plan outside of it. We rather justify the rebels in their late attempt, whereas now, as General Scoficld tells us, the people of the South are ready and willing to make the necessarv changes, without shock or violence. I felt the last war as bitterly and as keenly as any man could and I frankly confess myself afraid of a new war ; and a new war is hound to re sult Irom the action you suggest of giving to the enfranchised negroes so large a share in the delicate ta-k of putting tiie Southern States in practical working relations in the general government. A REMARKABLE CASE OF PETRIFICA TION. —On Thursday last, as a party of gentlemen were about removing the body of Mrs. Uaynes, who had been buried for seven years in the grave yard near Centre Church, (distance about four miles from Boont-ville,) for the purpose of deposing the body in a new grave, beside her hus band, Mr. Joseph IJaynes, who died on Wednesday last, they were surprised at the unusual weight of the coffin confin ing the corpse, and concluded to open it. Upon doing so, they discovered that the body had become putrified—having li'eral ly turned to stone. The features, body aud limbs were quite hard and stone-like, retaining their natural size and appearance. Ihe breast, stomach and lower limbs were quite bard and like marble, aad the fea tures were *o lite-like that persons former ly acquainted with the deceased could readily recognize the familiar expression of her countenance Even the grave clothes, and the lining of the coffin ap peared as fresh as on the dav the body was deposited in the grave. This is the first case of the kind, we believe, ever discov ered in Warrick county, and has caused much excitement in the neighborhood.— The corps i is said to have weighed about j six hundred pounds or more, requiring the united strength of three strong men to lift it from the grave. Tins truly remarkable case of petrification was witnessed by sev eral of our most reliable citizens, who will vouch for the correctnessness of this re port — Booneville Indiana Enquirer. What follows is from a Glasgow paper and illustrates the bigotry which is far from extinct: A pious, church-going compositor, em ployed on a daily newspaper, a man who was conspicuous among the congregation to which he belonged for the zealous per formance of all his religious duties, was solemnly excommunicated because he wrought at case on the Sunday evening to earn his daily btead. He pleaded the necessity of his labor, and justified himself by the New Testament, it" he could not by the Old But his plea was vain ;be was expelled from communion, declared un worthy of Christian fellowship,and disgrac ed in the eyes of his people.

For a period iqual to the ordinary life time of a generation of reen Cana'dii has enjoy cd an honorable reputation for the magnanimity aud wisdom of its policy in regard to those who have broken its laws under the influence of political motives. Thirty years ago that justly distinguish ed statesmen, Lord DURHAM, then Gover nor General of the Canadas, in language as forcible as was compatible with the digni ty of his high office, expressed his disap probation of the vindictive course adopted to wards the prisoners taken in the then re cent rebellion, referring particularly to the executions of LouNrand MATTHEWS two Canadians, whose fault evidently was not any deficiency of attichinent to their country, but that they had loved it unwise ly, ami thus committed acts for which, un der'the dominion ot a weak and short-sight ed Governor, Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD, they paid with their lives the uttermost penalties prescribed by the laws they had broken. The memorable report of Lord DURHAM imitated a new era in the colonial policy of Great Britain. Instead of urging the exe cution of offenders and the costly system of repressing disloyalty by force, he recom mended the redress ot colonial pricvances and the development of that system of self government under which political ofininun ities are usually ready to endure, because they are self mfiicted, burdens ten-fold as onerous as those against which they are ready to rebel when imposed on them bv extraneous governments, giving them no just or adequate representation. With the introduction of this change, the removal of the causes of complaint, disaf fectio-. ceased in Canada. The result was in na degree owing to the deplorable execu tions of political offenders. The Canadi an people, through their Parliament, did all that remained in their power to atone for irretrievable acts. They passed laws to idemuify the rebels of those days for their losses. The surviving leaders of the rebellion, who would have hen brought to the scaffold if they could Dave been appre hended in Canada at an earlier date, were permitted to return to the Province Wm. LYON MACKENZIE the chief inciter of the movement in Upper Canada,became again a member of the Colonial Parliament, fully satisfied with the existing sy.stem of govern ment; and CARIIKR, of the Lower Province became the Minister of tne United Provin ces, and was the guest of the Queen at Windsor Castle. Men of less distinction in public life returned again to their homes, and the career of Canada since the adop tion of such a policy has beeu one of the most progressive and instructive known in history . Her friends in the United States would regard with apprehension and the deepest regret her return to a sanguinary pobcv, initiated by the execution ot the Fe niau drisoners now under sentence of (Path. Repression by these means will fad. If the evils sustained by the Canadians can ever be remedied, it is by a liberal policy on the part of the home government toward the suffering aud disaffected members of the British Empire. The course of the Canadian government should be determined no more by tempora ry feelings of exasperation among their own people than by boasts of revenge from their encmii-s. Those who know the people ot the Provinces will concur in ihe opinion that they are more likely ohe goaded by threats, into tin* acts which the friends of humanity will regret than that they will he influenced by cowardly fear. Their dange- is that they may pay so much at tention to bluster as to retaliate by acts wh it h are beyond remedy or recall, and forget how well they can aflord to over look any temporary triumph of a few un reasoning individuals among theii enemies, if they win a well-deserved esteem by such a policy ot wisdom and magnanimity as other nations will at once appreciate, and the cooler verdict of future historians will further sanction. What Newspaper? djfor Nothing. The following article should be read and pondered well by every man who takes a county paper without paying for it : My observation enables me to state, as a fact, that publishers of newspapers are more poorly rewarded than any oriier class of men in the United States who invest an equal amount of capital, labor and thought. They ar<- expected to do more a piece for less pay, to stand more sponging and "dead heading,'' to pnfF and defend more people without fee or hope of reward, than any other class. They credit wider and longer, get otten er cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are oftener the victims of misplaced confidence than any other calling in the community.— People pay printer's bills with more reluc tance than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on a valuable news paper than ten on a needless gawgaw ; yet everybody avails biinselt of the use of the ed.tor's pi n and the printer's ink How many professional or political repu tations and fortunes have been made by the unrequited p< nof the editor? How ma ny em pry e towns and cities have been bro't into notice, and puffed into prosperity by the press? llow many railroads, now in successtul operation, would have foundered but for the "lever that moves the world?" In short, what branch of industry and ac tivity lias not been prompted, stimulated and defended by the press ? And who has tendered it more than a miserable pittance for his service? The bazaars of fashion, and the haunts of dissi pation and app. tite are thronged with an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the commodities there vended are sold at enormous profits, though intrinsically worthless, and paiil for with scrupulous punctuality ; while the counting-room of the newspaper is the seat of Jewing, cheap ening trad- , orders and pennies. It is made a point of-honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dishonor to repudiate a printer's bill I i Beneath Jav Cooke's banking house in Philadelphia, a free lunch is served .-v --cry day to thirty five attachees of the bank. This is to keep them from going to restau- I rants aud learning to tipple. Mexico. The intelligence from "this distracted country during the past week is of unusual interest. • Telegrams from New Orleans (November 26th) announce that th Em peror Maximilian has at length taken the decisive step of abdication.. The rupture between himself and the Freach Govern ment being complete, he has left Mexico in the hand of Bazaine and C'astelnan, the lat- j ter of whom is understood to have full au- i thoritv from Napoleon to supercede the Marshal himself if necessary. The late i Emperor left Vera Cruz on Thursday, Nov. 1 22d, for Europe. The consternation of the Mexicans at finding the question of their future #biitted absolutely to negotiations | between France and the United States is j represented to be general, and confined to no party. Moreover, there is said to be the best authority for stating that all the preparations for embarking the French troops hsve been summarily suspended. In regard to this last statement, it may be as well to state that, about the middle j of October the French Minister of State 1 addressed this Government, proposing a change in the programme agreed on in j June last, between the American Minister ! and Diuyu de L'huys, for the evacution of j the French troops. Instead of removing j them in detachments, commencing Novem- ' ber. and ending within six months, it was proposed that they should all be removed in one body on or about the first of January. Mr. Seward replied through Minister Big elow, that be adhered to the original un derstanding made in June, and hoped there would be no delay in the sailing of the first detachment during the present month. On Monday last (November 26) the Marquis de Montholon communicated to Mr. Sew ard a despatch from his Government, inti mating that Napoleon desired more time for a general evacuation, promising to 'de fer it four months. • The President, after due consultation with the Cabinet directed the Secreiary of State to reply to the French Mi ister that the Government saw no good | reason for accepting any char.ge, but in sisting. on the contrary, on the terms com municated by Mr. Bigelow, on the sixth of June last, being fully carried out. This conclusion was communicated to the Mar q .is de Mon bdon. The inference from tins action as, our Government has no idea of tolerating a military French Protecto rate. in place of the " Empire." Maximilian having gone, Aazaine must go too, speedily as possible While, "diplomacy" is thus bringing things around light, we are advised ot tur ther " Liberal" victories in the interior.— The French are reported to have h- en driven out of the whole of Puebla road, with the exception of the road between Vera Cruz aud the Capital, Viewed from even tne most favorable stand point, these interlopers, now have nothing if no' a har ' road to travel, and they must be blind men, indeed, who cannot see that it is for their interest, and everybody's interest, that they should hurry out of the country, with as littie delay as possible. The Political Delirium. We are driving at a dangerously fast pace in national politics. Our nationality seems to have entered a phase of existence in which exaltation, feverish excitement, and experraentalism are the controlling pow ers, and quite overbalance tlie infiue; s of reason Even as our world, in its trav el through space, ha.° passed into the region of meteors and erratic heavenly bodies, so pei baps have we come into a moral atmos phere, creative ol the political phenomena, now apparent in the ideas and partisan action of great numbers of our countrymen. Our people will lose confidence in the virtue of their fot tn of government unless some of the old landmarks be speedily re stored. and, at least, the fundamentals of our republicanism be recognized and re spected. We do not as>ert that a political party is not privileged to adopt what c eed it will, even f hough to go so far as to op pose the spirit of our republican institu tion. But the wrong exists in the at tempt of the radicals to coerce others into the adoption ,of their doctrines, and to force measures upon the country by the application of the thumbscrew to those that otter opposition. It must he apparent to all that appreciate the nature and intention of our form of government that the South is not now in the fulfillment of its proper functions in the national household The Southern people are willing and anxious to assume their legitimate position in the political family, and their best interests, as well as the interests of the Commonwealth, re quire tbeir restoration to an equality with their fellow countrymen of the North.— There is nothing to prevent this, except , the extravagant and unconstitutional ac ! tion of the Radicals, in direct violation of the paramount principles of republicanism. The majority of the people of the Flitted States are opposed to the Radical dictator ship ; hut, bv the congressional usurpations of the Radical*, the will of a minority lias | become the ruling influence In such a condition of affairs, it is right and necessa j ry to confront usurpation with the physical power of the majority. If the South can not be represented in Congress, it will find the material for representation in some other arena. At the opening session of Congress the Radicals will do well to con | template the fact thev tannot legislate against the equality of the States of the i Union without provoking revolution.—JV.
