po,ygamy and slavery,

The Platform adopted by the Black lie
publican Party in 1856 denounced Polygamy
and Slavery as twin relics of barbarism, and
Senator Seward in the speech be recently de-
livered in the U S. Senate reechoed the senti-
ment. Polygamy in every Country where
Christianity is the predominant religion, is
regarded as high and Infamous crime
Those who are guilty cf it are regarded as
enemies of and outcasts from society, unwor-
thy 20 miugle with the virtuous portion of
their fellow men. According TO the Black
Republican Platform. the Polygamist is not
guiltier or more infamous wretch than the
Slaveholder-in word that Washington,
Jefferson. Madison. Henry. Lee. Monroe
and jackson, were the equals of Polygamist
in guilt and infamy, and 10 better than Brig
am Young and the other deluded disciples Of
Joe Smith.
This doctrine of the Black Republican Par
ty is direct insult to nearly one half of the
American people, and bold attempt to render
them infamous in the eyes Of mankind. The
man who believes that it is correct, must of
necessity regard Southern Stakeholder as no
better than a Mormon or Turk, and must
therefore loath and despiss him from the bot
tom of his soul And yet We almost ev-
cry day hear Black Republicans assert, that
their Party las nothing to do with Slavery
in the abstract, and that its only object is to
prevent its introduction into the Territories.
| That this is not true that portion of the Plat
| form of 1856 to which we have referred clear
ly proves. It is no wonder that John Brown
holding such doctrine, planned and attempt
ed to carryout servle insurrection in the
South, and that 6S Black Republican MEM
bers of Congress believing that it was correct,
signed paper recommending Helpers infa-
nous book to the patronage of the public.
Would net the people Of the Southern
States have good reason to fear that their
rights would be endangered by the triumph
next fall, of that party which holds as cardi-
nal doctrine of It's creed that they are al! guilty
of high and infamous crime, and that once il
power, it would 90 its utmost to abolish tha
which it regards ''reiic of barbarism?"-
The total abolition of Slavery would be the
greal object it would have in view. ifit should
succeed in obtaining the reins of govern
ment and lis myrmidonc would never rest sa
isfed until in the language of Seward. th'
Southern States had all become free labo
States.

ssa- Nearly all our Republican exchanges,
states that Gen. II. D. Faster was defeated for
Canal Commissioner in 1916 by James NJ.
Power, and that, ''in 1855 he ran for Con-
gress in his district which Is strongly Demo
cratic, and was defeated by John Covode TO the
tune of eleven hundred" OF course all our
Cambria County readers know that both these
statements are false. Gen. Foster never was
a candidate for Canal Commissioner. 1t was
William b. Foster late Vice President of the
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, who died a
few weeks ago, who was the Democratic Can
dilate for Canal Commissioner in 1916 and
was defeated by aIr Power. The Westmore
land, Indiana and Armstrong district 10 which
Gen. Foster run for Congress in 1858, is
strongly Republican, instead of being strong
ly Democratic. The Democratic Candidate
for Congress was defeated i'll 1856 by ma
jotity of 1885. The majority against Gen
Foster IN 1858 was only 9.5 Such open bare
faced falsehoods cannot possibly injure Gen
Foster, but they show how anxious the Black
Republicans are to commence the work o.
maligning and misrepresenting him. We
hope they viii hereafter endeavor to confnt
themselves to facts. If they do this, thei
stock in trade will be small indeed. Gener
al Fosters record a public man is withou
a stain. and his private character untarnishec
by any act for which he or his friends peeC
blush. In all the relations Of life he has eve
maintained the dignity of man with soul cree
and this is one of the principal reasons for hi
remarkable popularity with the people of hi
native State

ES The editor of the Spirit Of the Times
writes from Charleston the following deserip-
ton of the Hall where the Democratic Con
vention is to assemble:
The visitor at Charleston regards with no
little interest The Hall of the South Carolina
Institute, in which the Democratic National
Convention Is to be held or the 23i of April
next. The audience room Is spacious, aG-
mir2biy lighted by long windows on three
sides, and is capable of seating =, 500 persons
4 stage occupies the end, and there are gal
leries upon three sides. There arc also con-
venient private rooms on both floors, and easy
access is had 70 all the different apartments.
The ceiling is beautifully painted IN fresco 10
less an artist than the brother Garabaldi.-
The entire hall bas been recently fitted up
with special reference to the meeting OF the
Convention. Where the muliitudes who viii
be lodged and fed. is question of considera-
bic interest. The greater part of the availa-
bic space Of the principal hotels and boarding
houses has already been engaged, and those
who apply late will fare badly. Neverthe-
less, extensive preparations have been made
for the accommodation OF visitors, and ali
that can be done for their comfort will be.

.ES- Our friend Mr.. Edward d. Evans,
closed the winter term of his School on last
Friday. with public examination of bis Iu-
pills in the various branches of an English
Education taught them. We were present
for short tims, and were much pleased with
the good order preserved As the examina-
ton had already closed and speech making
was then the order of the day. We cannot say
anything as to the acqriremepts Of the pupils.
However, NJ. d. Magellan, Esq., who was
present during the entire examination, in
forms us that all the pupils acquitted them
selves in highly creditable manner, and
that their teacher had reason to feel proud of
them. He examined class in Geography,
and out of about one hundred difficult ques-
tions selected at random, not one was answer
ed incorrectly. Mr.. Evans is certainly an
excellent teacher.

Republican Doctrine.

The FreepOrt Oll) Journal of recent
date, Republican paper, thus defines the
Republican creed:
We believe the negro is human-be has
a soul-he has an iutellect-and in 50 far as
the right of suffrage OF any other right OF ci.-
izenship is concerned, he should be placed on
equality with the rest OF mankind We
further believe that the negro is superior, in
all the requirements necessary for citizenship,
to a majority of the Irish cattle who dis
grace our soil.

A 1t is said that strong effort viii be
made at Charleston. to nominate Hon. R. NJ.

would be strong candidate: S. A Douglas

everything in their power to secure his NOM
ination. It,is highly probable however, that
he will not -.make the lanaing.s'> The Cali
fornia delegates are instructed to support
Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson. of New York
The friends of Gen. Joseph Lane are not
without hope that he will be the nominee.
From the condition in which matters are at
present, it is higly probable that the nominee
will be new man, who being fresh from
the ranks of the people, will. when nomina-
ted, stand before the Country as an indepen-
dent Statesman, and not as the object from
which is suspended the hungry hopes of hall
the needy politicians of the Country.
