4 Bitter Aboliiionist and a Confessed Negro
.SteaIer Editing the Leading Douglas Or
GAN in Ohio.
The Ohio statesman and Cleveland Pldin-
dealer talk fippaniiy of boiiers, aud clam
that they are the very embodiment Of DemOe-
racy. No paper in the State. the Cincinnati
Enquirer not excepted, is filed with more of
bitter and vulgar abuse of life long Demo
Gratis Why it is so with the Piaindealer we
know; why it was so with the Statesman, We
were at a loss TO guess. until the whole mat
ter was made clear by letter from from an
old friend in Columbus, who says:
''You do Manypenny injustice in attribu-
ting the articles in the .St0teSRsdh TO his pen.
They are not his-bad as they are, he could
not write them, for TO save him he cannot put
ten lines of common sense together DO you
recollect little diminutiye AbolItionist, by
the name of Franklin Gale, who used to hang
around the Abolition Office here. and who
drew scanty support from what he could
collect from the old Liberal party? Without
PROCESSING a single charge-he is now the
writing editor of the Ohio .Statesnldn-is the
man that puffs Douglas, and the unnurtured
shelp that Manypenny employs to abuse life
long Democrats"
We rather think we do know this Franklin
Gale. He once lived In Monroe county
was terrible Democrat, and wanted TO 60 TO
the Legislature, but couldn't. He then turn
ed Abolitionist, aud has been among the most
ultra of the class to which he belongs He is
very 'broth of a boy,"-a John Brown
..irrepressible coufict' AbolitioDist- to do up
the abuse of Democrats for Manypeany-a
pretty dog to be set upon honest men by an
editor who lacks the brains but not the Will
to DO the dirty work himself.
Verify the Douglas organ are well manned
The Statesman by an open and avowed Abo-
litionist of the GddingS school-;he PLAIN
iedler, by an editor, G.. A GTay,) who
within the last six months, at a Johu Brown
sympathy meeting in Ashtabula county boas-

Old A3olitionists aud avowcd negro steal

Letter to Andrew G.. Curtin.

MIR. CURTIN:-As you are now pIOmine Mt
candidate before the people of this Common
wealth for the highest Office the people of a
sovereign State alone can confer, aud as you
doubtless desire every man in the State to
vote for you for Governor. | take this season
able occasion to give you, well as the peo-
pie. my reasons why L cannot and will not
vote for you. When you were Secretary of
this Commonwealth. circumstance occurred
in Bellefonte. the place where you reside,
showing satisfactorily to my mind that you
possess too malicious spirit to fill, with any
creditable degree of dignity. the honorable
position of Governor, over free: civilized
and enlightened people. The circumstance
was one of too serious a nature to be lost:
and as told you then, that L would on some
future occasion remind you of it, shall now
proceed to do so withou, the fear of your re-
roller in my mind.
l viii here first state that am only poor
man. and by profession am a huckster AT
the time above referred to, | came to Belle
fonte on busineness. l had au excellent dog
with me to guard my wagon. A number OF
boys began teasing the dog by running at him;
aud some went so far as TO throw stones al
him. Soon as the dog would defend himself
against these unj Just attacks, the ungodly boys
ran into the houses, but no sooner had the
dog again returned to his wagon, than the
! boys would also return and repeat the insult
| Among these boys was the sou of A e. Cur
tin, who being little tardy in reaching the
! house, was caught by the dog at the leg o!
| his pantalOons. The dog was at once recall
| led and tied In the stable belonging to the
| hotel, so as to prevent the boys from teasing
him. Soon after that you came TO me and
asked me whether it was my dog that had
caught your boy. ! told you that you should
keep little cool" and | would explain the
matter; but you would not hear me aud walked
off greatly excited, and returned with a re-
CoiOer in your hand and a crowd following
you. You walked up to me aud drew your
reU0lUer aud said: - You d-n son Of a J-h,
! If you say one ,rord, ri shoot yoHr Cd
J id Dutch .Son-of Dds brains Olt!''
That MIR Curtin. was my introduction to
our Secretary of State. II was a loud and a
| strong introduction to any official gentleman
! Cd so well remember.
You then turned to the poor dog and shot
/ him three times, aud said you had another
ball left for me!
The subscriber is ready at any time, when
| called upon, to verify these statements by
good aud reputable citizens who were present
! and witnessed the scene.
These, then. Mr. Curtin are some of the
reasons why l really and honestly think you
are unfit to be at the head of free. Dutch
aud sovereign people like that of Pennsylva-
MIA. You seem to have 4 very contemplate
opinion of Dutcbmen; but allow me. Sir, Il
tell YOU that the Dutchmen of Pennsylvania
will show you by next October that they have
an equally contemplate opinion of you
They will shoot you, not with revolvers, bu
with something more effectual and honorable;
paper balls!

a Biography.

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal. has
lately turned his attention to writing the BIZ
ogaaphies of some of his old political associ-
ates. The following graphic extract is from
that of Horace Greeley.
Horace Greeley was born in Oregon. near
the confux of the Astoria. Daring his in
fancy he subsisted entirely upon roots and
herbs, and was remarkable for wearing cop
per stock about his peck.-He sailed to this
country in the Galway steamer. He got en-
ploymeDt as a gardener. but in attempting to
root out large Weed, tore his linen. His
employer one Seward, forgetting TO pay him
bis wages. he left the weed and invented
..Greeley Corn Salve.' He discovered the
Slievegammon fund; was elected member ot
Congress, and Immediately after requested
his friends not to call him honorable -Re,i

-When prosperity was well mounted she
let 90 the bride, and soon came tumbling out

He is a fool who makes the doctor his heir

Elack RepubIicaD:sm and Negro
Equality.

In Massachusetts the Republicans have
eniraucbised negroes aud DISTINGUISHED all
foreign born citizeDs-that is, they extend to
the negro the right to vote after residence
of six months in the State, whereas they COM
pelI foreign white man to remain there two
wears after he has been naturalized before they
allow him to vote.
In New York the Republicans have given
Negroes the right of suffrage under proper
ty qualification. If negro is worth $3.50 or
over. he is equal to white Republican,; if he
is worth only S249,99 he isn't
In Ohio mulatto is allowed to vote, and
is accounted "a white citizen" under decl-
sion of the Republican Supreme Court OF that
State.
The Democrats in the Ohio Legislature
proposed an amendment to their Constitution,
last winter. which would efectually prohibit
negro suffrage, but the Republicans defeated
the measure.
In Cleveland the Republican Board of Ed
ucation compel white children to SIT with ne
groes in the public schoois-one OF the mem
bers of the Board declared that 'he would
rather his child should sit beside negro than
beside frizzle- headed Irish or bare headed
Dutch one."
Sixtv Republican members Of Congress
cordially endorsed" the following sentiment
IN Uelner's book: mot to be an abolltionlst
is to be wilful and diabolical instrument of
the devil"
TIE Freeport Journal (Rep.) says: we
believe that the negro is human-that he has
| soul-and SO far as his rights are concerned
he should enjoy al. the social and political
rights OF the white man
| When John BrowE was convicted OF muir
der and hung for his crimes, the Repubii'
cans held sympathy meetings in all their

adopted, the latter will go out also, with re-
spectacle minority-the anti-Douglas wing-from
various other nonslaveholding States; leaving the
rump to nominate Douglas, consisting wholly Of
delegates representing constituencies that cannot
possibly cast presidential electoral vote for any
candidate upon any platform that may be served
up to cheat the North as to the real issues that
should be involved in the contest
do not, however, conceive bolt on the part
of the South imminent as when telegraphinp
you few hours ago. Since then IL has become
so very apparent that under no circumstances can
Douglas get a two-thirds vote of the whole Con-
vention, that many Southern men who were then
most determined to bolt now favor having the
Convention hold together If the majority South
ern) platform be defeated tomorrow, the nomi-
nation Of Hunter, Guthrie, Dickinson, or Lane
upon it, and then to have that action followed by
the publication Of a very generally signed South
ern protest against the doctrines of the platform
but accepting the candidate cordially upon his
individual record
Alabama and Mississippi still kick against that
proposed arrangement, with portions of other
Southern delegations. Dispatches however are
arriving for them from Washington, urging upon
them that policy, which, trust may prove effec.
tive. But for the detection of Missouri, (whose
delegates are perhaps most deeply pledged against
touching any squatter sovereignty candidate, as
strange as it may seem, the South would have had
plain sailing from the beginning to the end as
the few Douglasites from other States, including
Maryland, though making tremendous noise
here, really amount to nothing effective, except in
the way of intensely increasing the hostility OF
their respective colleagues to his nomination
The status Of the New York delegation con
tinues to be the riddle of the times. Up to last
mig ht the Douglas leaders considered its majority
sold bought, and paid for-theirs, beyond perad-
venture. As you know, ! adopted this impression
from them with great reluctance indeed: and
am accordingly greatly gratfed in being able to
say that have seen cause to change 1t to-day
That is, am able to say to you, think positively
that New York-Richmond, Cagger & Col.
playing for Observation-Disclosures stake, al
yet unknown beyond the hearts of her players
At any rate, Mr.. Richardson and Mr. McCler.
nand, of Ill, evidently now place little confidence
in the boasts of their own followers that New
York will vote for Douglas. Nevertheless the
breach between Cochrane and Richmond is by
no means healed, it being evident to C. that ch.
mond designs deserving Douglas. as he previously
threw behind his back his pledges to the South
simply because satisfied that his support of him
does not now bid fair to pay.
