THE lMPOSTORS OF THE LAST CAM
PAIGN,

We need not remind he readers Of this Jour
nal, that during the last campaign did our
best 10 warn the people against The frauds and
hypocrisy of the lralrrs Of thr Opposition. -
We prophesied that al! their ranting about 'Pro-
tection,'' all their out-cry for a revision OF the
tariff would prove but hollow prrt"nceS, and
that they would not faffil their promises 10 the
people, concerning the Tariff, should they be
elected. That We were right in our predictions,
is fully shown by the action OF the Opposition
in Congress, in endeavorng 10 stave off the
revision OF the Revenue laws, and thus 10
keep in force The present low Tariff, of which
they, last fall, complained SO bitterly. The
telegraph informs Us that the ''RepuJcan"
Senators and Representatives in Congress, 'have
come 10 the unanimous conclusion that parties
and politics are so shaped in the present Con-
gress, that nothing will be effected during this
session, concerning a modification ofthe Tariff"
This, being Interpreted, means that those Re
publican Senators aud Representatives, ''are
determined that nothing s4ak be effected du-
ring this session of Congress concerning the
modification of the Tariff" They reckon that
as they were able last winter, 10 defeat the Pres
ident's Kansas Bill, they will, (by con bina-
tion similar TO that by which they succeeded in
doing the former be alike successful in preven-
ting the establish mrnt of proper Tariff
Their object in opposing the revision OF the
Tariff, is 10 keep the question open for future
discussion. They found it useful to them at
the last election, and they suppose that having
blind-folded certain people once, they can do
it again. They want the Revenue 10 fall short,
so that the Government will lack The means Of
paying its debts, and then they intend TO raise
such howl about "eXtravagant expenditures"
OF the Administration, as will ing in the ears
of the Democracy for all time TO come. And
il, perchance, the ''hard times" should contn-
ue, they think to below as Justify as ever for a
high Tariff, and TO make the people believe that
il was not their fault that the Congress of 1855
8, suffered the Tariff of 1857 TO remain unchan-
ged. Such mpostors as these deserve to be
"whipPed naked through the word,'' and if
the people do not soon protect themselves against
thrir imposition, they may look TO be swindled
not only out of their votes, but out of their
rights as free and independent citizens.

Is twentyfour of the thirty-two States, ne
groes are allowed no political privileges what
ever, that place them on an equality with the
white race. Eleven Of these twenty-four States
are free. New York practically excludes them
by freehold qualification and long residence
before voting. Two more States Maine and
Rhode Island exclude them by requiring all
voters TO be citizens OF the United States.-
Massachusetts and New Hampshire are about
the only States that make no distinction of color
or race, and there they are not allowed to

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The State Legislature convened al Harrisburg
on Tuesday last, but at the present writing we
have no account Of its doings. The Opposition
members of the Lower House, have nominated
w. c. LAWRENCE, Of Dauphin, for Speaker,
flooring Cot. Mcclure, OF Franklin. Lawteuce
WILL of course, be elected, as there is decided
majority Of tue ring-sreaked and striped IN that
body. The Democrats have nominated p q.
Gritman, of Luzerne, for the same office, and
Jacob Zeigler, OF Butler, for Chief Clerk.
From the following which We take from the
Harrisburg correspondence of The Pittsburg
True Press tedted by Republican, one might
be led to suppose that "Simon" will soon point
up:
That distinguished individual, Gen. Simon
Cameron, is in town. | saw him on the street
to-day, in company with distinguished Demo-
crat, who has been in his pay for yeats. OF
course, Simon's mission is known. Some "hard
up" country editors, with an eye single to Mid
detown funds, have raised his name 10 their
masthead for President in 1860. He comes
here to feel the Republican pulse, and as there
are quite number Of Republican editors here,
and more daily expected, you NAV look out for
a similar arrangement TO thas made by Ford in
1856.

Wreck Of Inc Royal Charter.
Narrowing Scenes on Board and in Water.


Full particulars received by the Asia Of the
wreck of the Royal Charter, show that the di-
saster was one Of the most appalling on record.
An eye witness says;
The scenes on board during the last hour
painful beyond description. Wives aud
husbands, children and parents, lovers and
friends, were embracing each other with the
consciousness that they were about to meet in
eyitable death. The Rev. Mr.. Hodge, cler-
gyman from New Zealand, before this had COM
menced prayer meeting in the saloon, which
was earnestly participated in by most until the
crash and ruin, aud the flooding of water rem
dered panic universal. On the vessel break
ing open, numbers of people were to be seen
floating about for few minutes, but with the
strength OF the waves, the masses OF debris
which covered the sea aud struck many brave
and struggling mans brains out, but few were
able 20 gain firm hold of land Four hundred
and ffty-fve persons were killed and drowned

ealoon, tied two black canvas bags full of gold

Mr. Dowie, tue second officer, we're seen on the

shore, when boat fell from the dayits and struck
then both on the head, after which they were

when he captain had beer struck PROSTATE on
deck, exhausted, he saw the water steal child
from its mothers arms-a Jewess- and dash il
about tho deck, he cried out to the chief officer,
Mr. Stevens, TO give hand there, aud to lash
the child by rope, no doubt expecting at that
time that help would be soon available. On
shore, the villagers and tie sailors who had es-
capped unhurt linked hands, and the bragest
stepped into the surf to catch hold of those whom
the waves bore towards them on their crcsts be-
fore they were drawn back into the sea. Fore
most in one link was Geo Snaicsr, and he was

The Gazette Of last week says that the Lo-
cofocos of New York have gained since
1856, "two hundred and fifty thousand
rotss I" Instead Of that the Republicans
~ere beaten BY the united American and Lo-
cofoco vote some 10000! Let The Ga
zefts trg again bis claims to relationship
with Tom Pepper are certainly fully establish
ed. Here's tie Tribune's article:
The Express exults over the result Of our re
cent election OF this basis:
'The Fremont majority in this State,in 1856,
was so, 1876"
Hence it argues that our late election shows
q Republican loss. But Fremont's majority
aforesaid was a plurality only. The united
Democratic and American vote was mora than
forty thousand higher than Fremont's. Now,
the candidates who received the united vote Of
the Democrats ahd Americans are either de-
feated, or il elected, have certainly not thou
sand majority over those supported by the Re-
pubIicans alone. Never before did the Repub-
licans poll SO large proportion of the entire
vote of our State as at tbs election OF week be-
fore last.
