TIE BERLIS Brass BASD.-We had the
pleasure of listening to the eloquent music dis
coursed by this excellent company of musi-
clans, at the Union Celebration on Mann's
Hill, on independence Day. Although all the
members of the band were not in attendance.
in common with all the people who heard their
performance, We can testify that they aequit-
ted themselves most handsomely. Besides be-
ing good musicians, the gentlemen composing
this band are all clever fellows and their COM
panonabe disposition and gentlemanly beha-
yior has made them many friends in our town
and county. AS they did the people who par
ticipated in the Manns Hill Celebration, spe-
cial favor, by giving their attendance, we feel
it our duty to print their names, SO that the
gratitude of the public may be rendered to
them individually, as well as collectively. The
Berlin Brass Band is composed as follows !:
Lea der, Gershom i. Helaey; Second Soprano,
VIM. Iefley; Solo Alto, II. Meyer; First Ten
or, d H. Fisher; Baritone Bass, c. A. Heffloy:
L. Bass Tuba, J. c. ardill; Snare Drum

NEGRO Suffrage.

The Republican" State Conventions of
Iowa and Vermont, have adopted resoIu-
tions in favor of negro suffrage. The Leg
isIatures of New Hampshire and Connect
icut have done the same thing. Wherever
the so-called Republican" party, is pre-
sumed, by its leaders, to be strong enough,
this question is made the issue. In this
State they fear defeat, and, therefore, will
hardly venture to insert the ''black oak"
plank in their platform. Many Of the lead
nag spirits, however, are in favor of doing
so. In Allegheny county they have adopt
ed it; at Blairsville they have started a
journal expressly with view to sustain
the white and black equality; and many of
their papers throughout the State, including
their organ in Bedford, have published ar
ticles favoring it. It is just IS much the
issue here now as anti-slavery was a short
time ago. Every man who viii vote the
Republican" ticket this fall, will, Indirect
ly, if not directly, assist in building up a
negro suffrage political party. What say
the old Democrats who went with Mr.. Lin
coins administration, only, as they said, to
strengthen the Government? Now, that the
rebellion is suppressed, they are thrown
back upon choice between the two parties
the one, conservative of the Government
and all IFS institutions, the other radical
andreyolutionary, threatening opposition to
President Johnson's restoration policy, and
aiming at the leveling of the white and black
races, from which must result social ANAL
gamation and hybridizing and degcnera-
ting Of the people. The ''war democrats, .
so called, can certainly never affiliate with
this latter organization. No man who has
at heart the peace and prosperity of the
country can mingle with them. We, there
fore, look for all patriots, especially all
Democrats, by whatever name they style
themselves, to rally to the standard of the
conservative party.

VERMONT,

The "Republicans" of Vermont have just had
their State Convention, at which they resolved
in favor of Negro Suffrage. This makes the
third State where the Negro has been formally
established on the Republican platform, Con
necticut by Legislature, and Iowa and Yer
mont by convention. OF course theIiatter state
will give Sambo full welcome; they scarely know
what negro L. up among the Green Noun
tains, and they want something to worship aud
swear by. The Republicans of Ohio dodgel
the question, as a stroke Of policy, but made
it the party issne by nominating candidate
for Governor from the Western Reserve, who
IS not suspected of any sympathy for the white
man.

IMPORTANT DECISION. Miller, of the
United States Supreme Court, rendered very
important decision the other day, in St Paul,
MINI. He discharged a man who aided in Sc
curing fraudulent exemptions, and who was IN
dicted therefor, on the ground that the provis-
ION of thesdraft law was void, as it did not fix
certain term of punishment The penalty pro-
vided was imprisonment during the existence
of the rebellion, and the court held that it was
impossible to ascertain any definite length Of
time of imprisonment under such law

SLIGHTLY MxED.-Our old St. Clair
friend, who was for many years the only
SIMON pure Abolitionist in the county, and
who used to be a conductor On the 'tub-train'
on the Underground Railroad, was convert
ed TO the true Union, faith, on the Fourth.
OF course his conversion didn't last long,
but he worked hard for the cause whilst at
taehed to it, The thing happened in this
wise: benjamin drove into town Just as the
grand procession was forming to march to
Mann's Hill, and having heard his party
talk great deal about the soldiers and the
flag, nc at once looked around for these two
features peculiar las he supposed) to the
Abolition "Splittefs," and seeing an inter-
minable string of carriages, with a long col
umn Of returned soldiers in front, and sol
dFers on horseback, and the stars and stripes
waving over them, he at once concluded that
these must belong to the Abolition process
SION. So in he wheeled and drove his team
along, little dreaming Of the company he
was keeping. After considerable driving
around, he happened TO get glimpse of
that old St. Clair banner, when, presto!
around went his horses heads and he struck
a ''bee line, in procession by himself,
Tor the "SPlitters' F" stamping ground. How
sad that so white spot should have acci-
dentally gotten upon his political record

trage men IL the woods, the other day, that he

PRAcrrcAL AMALGAMAuoN.-The political
meeting held in Defibaugh's woods, on the
Fourth, was especially devoted to the interest
Of the negro. The speeches, we are informed,
took ground in favor of negro suffrage, the
crowd was composed in great part Of negroes,
whites and blacks mixed together at the tables,
and the soldiers were compelled to stand back
until after the negroes had eaten. Such IS the
practical effect of Abolition radicalism.

e-Among the thousands who were in at
tendance, at the grand Union celebration,
on Mann's Hill, we observed many crippled
soldiers, representing the true and solid pa
triotism of the army. Their appearance
was characterized not by mere ''fuss and

swagger, bat their Inaimed limbs and scar
red faces, spoke Of that stern business the
performance of which alone seals the title
of true COLDER. There were at least two
hundred returned veterans on Mann's Hill
We printed one hundred and thirty soldiers
badges and they were not near enough to
supply the demand. The rank and file, the
bone and sinew, Of the soldiery of the coun-
Try, are conservative and true to the Con-
stitution for the supremacy Of which they
shed their blood
