NEGRO EQUALITY"

Those small potato newspapers and politi-
clans who charge Abraham Lincoln with be-
ing in favor of negro equality, charge what is
notoriously untrue. In the course of the Lin
coin and Douglas debates, Lincoln in one of
his speeches makes use of this language on
the suhject:-
|. ssI am not, nor never have been, in favor of
bringing about, in any tcay, the social and po
litical equality of the white and black races.
| am not, nor never have been, in favor of
making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of
qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-
marry with white people; and L will say, in
addition to this, that there is physical differ
ence between the black and white races which
| believe will forever forbid the two races liv-
ing together on terms of social and political
equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so
live, while they do remain together there must
be the position of superior and interiors and
|, as much as any other man, am in favor of
having the superior position assigned to the
white race"
How dare any lying locofoco print charge
Mr.. L. with being in favor of negro equality,
in. The face of the above extract from one of
his published speeches.

ASSESSMENT FOR THE z REsIDENTIAL ELECTION.
By an act of Assembly, passed April II, 1S48,
[Purdon 293, assessors are required to open
their books Immediately after the second
Tuesday of October, and are required to assess
any white freeman making application to them
at any time within ten days of the period fix
ed 10y law for the President and Vice Presi-
dent, and to make cut lists fer the officers of
said election, and deliver the to them
on or before O'Clock on the morning of the
election. This is an important matter to
bear in mind, and all our friends should see
to it that every Republican who was not as
sesed in time to vote at the last election, is
now placed on the Assessors list. Young
men who voted on age at the October election,
but who become % before the 9th of Novem-
Der, will have to pc assessed to entitie them
to vote.

CITIZEN OF ILLINOIS HIPPED TO DEATH IN
TExAs.-The Chicago Press and Tribune has
a letter from Mr.. Frederick Anithar, who was
recently driven out of Texas on some frivolous
pretences. He gives the following accoGnt of
the horrible whipping of young man at
Henderson, in that State, which resulted in
death. He says:-ssA young man from Him
os, by the name of Evans, came to uender-
son, and while there was incautious enough to
say that he thought free Estates, were prefera-
BILE to slave States, and that he thought slavery
was wrong. These statements, as far i
heard them, he made in the miIdest manner,
and that only when pressed into the subject
by the yourg men about town. | am satisfied
that he never said or thought of saying any
thing, except when conversation on the sub
ject was forced upon him, | had but a slight
acquaintance with the young man, but | told
him that he ought not to allow himself to be
dragged into talking on the topic. But lie
was not careful. In December last, this young
man was taken out by mob, without a trial
of any kind and whipped to death. The Hen
derson NeW Era, paper published in Hen
derson, justified the infamous murder, on the
ground that Evans was-a common thief an
Abolitionist, &c. l was shown the whip
which was informed had been the instrument
of his death. 1t was covered with blood.
also saw what l informed was the dead
body of Evans, about three quarters of mile
from town. 1t decayed and swollen
that l did not recognize it. The hogs and
buzzards were eating it. 1t had never been
buried!''

BELL-EyERETr FIzzLE.-The Bell-Everett-
ers claimed from 10000 to 10000 votes in
Philadelphia, and some &c, 900 throughout the
State. The result, last Tuesday, knocks this
boast into the worst sort of cooked hat.
The Bell-Everett candidates on the City Tick
ct received, respectively, as follows:
Swearingen, for Clerk of Sessions, 4,544
Sharpeigh, 60 Coroner, 5,055
Sloan, " Prothonotary 1929
Freeman Recorder of Deeds 1854
This in poll of 81 900 votes, is what we
call rather slim. AS there are not probably
as many more in all other parts of the State
the whole Bell-Everett force in the Com
monwealth, before the October election was
not ten thousand. At the November election
it will be next to nothing-hatdly respect
able scattering vote.

THE REV. Mr.. BEwLEY iiUNG.-We publish
ed paragraph some days ago from the st.
Louis Christian Advocate. stating that the re-
port that the Rev. Mr.. Bewley had been hung
in Texas for abolitionism, was incorrect. He
was under arrest, but still living. The St.
Louis News, of the 18th, learns that Mr.. B.
was taken to Fort Worth, tried by mob and
hung 1t will be recollected that Mr.. Bewley
was devoted Methodist Minister who was
put under the ban by the pro-slavery ruffans
of Texas, that he escaped from Texas to Mis-
souri,, but was subsequently captured in the
lower part of the State and taken back. A
correspondent of the News in Crawford county,
Mo-, who knew Mr.. Bewley we'll, states that
he was anti-slavery in his views, but an hon
est, sincere, humble and devoted Christian.
Such is the ssBarbarism" of American Slavery

1t is a common observation that there are more
sufferers from debility, among Americans, than
can be found among any ether civilized nation
The reason is obvious We take too little exercise,
and forget the wants of the body in the absorbing
pursuits of business. In all such cases, ordinary
medicines can do but little good What is req uir-
ed is just such tonic and invigorator as DR.. j.
Hestetter has given to the world, in his Celebra
ted sBitters' The weak and nervous denizen of
the counting house, the exhausted toler upon the
shop board, and the prostrated student of the mid
night lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator
in the 'Btters' and prefer it to pretentious,
but less eficacious medicines. But it should not
be forgotten that the agent which is so magical
in its iniu encc upon frame which is merely de-
biitated. is equally powerful in assisting nature

THE FAIR.-The first exhibition of the Clear
field County Agricultural Society was held
last week on their grounds at this place. The
exhibition as whole was highly creditable.
The Ladies department was perhaps the best
supplied with articles of various descriptions.
or needle work, crochet and embroidery there
was plenty; of jams, jeIlies and preserves
there was profusion and of butter very
respectable quantity was on hand, The fruit
department was well filed up, and we have no
hesitation in saying that we never saw better
quality Of apples at any Fair we have ever WIS.,
tied. The mechanic arts, field crops, vegeta-
'Jles, &C., fell little short, nor was there as
good display of live stock as there should
have been, though there were several good
horses, cattle and hogs on the ground. Many
persons who had good stock did not bring it
because they we're fearful that they would not
draw premiums. In this they made a mistake,
that is not likely to be repeated at any future
exhibition. An interesting feature in the
Fair was the Zouaves, a fantastic company that
performed some very grotesque and amusing
manoeuvres on foot and on horseback. The
performances were also much enliyened by
the evolutions of Capt. Campbell's Mountain
Cavalry, and Capt Ogden's Riflemen. Not
withstanding the unfavorable state of the
weather, the attendance was large, the number
of persons who were present Oh Wednesday
being estimated at from 900 to 5000. Take
it all in all, the Fair was a decided success,
and surpassed the expectations of the most
sanguine. The President, Executive Com
mittee, Marshalls, and others who took an
active part in conducting the Fair, are deser-
wing OF much praise for the manner in which
they performed their several parts, and the
diligence with which they iabored to render
general satisfaction. The expenses of the
Society were necessarily very heavy, amount
ing in the aggregate to. $1,000, and yet enough
money was realized by voluntary subscriptions,
life memberships and receipts at the gates, to
square the books and clear the Society of all
Indebtedness. We hope the citizens of our
county will continue to encourage the enter
prize in every way they can, as its tendency
IS to advance an interest that has heretofore
been too much neglected ia this region. In
another year the Society will be enabled to
grant much larger premiums and make the
air more attractive generally.

IL EEP UP THE EXCITEMENT

IN movals always cause excitement, and since
the great excitement about the removal of the
