Meeting in the Six,h ward.

There was a large and enthusiastic meet
ing held at Laurence Schneider's in the
Sixth Ward on Saturday evening. There
were from five to six hundred persons pres
ent who we're addressed by I. G. Thur
man, of this city, in an able, argumentative
speech, of some three quarters of an hour
in length. The audience listened attentive
ly and with deep interest to his statement
of facts and reasons for the support of the
President in the choice OF the Democratic
candidates the ensuing election. Cheers
and shouts of approval frequently inter-
rupted the speaker.

To Foreign.Born Citizens.

You have been accustomed to regard the
elective franchise of vast Importance, and
were justly indignant at'the efforts made
some years ago by the Know-N Nothings to
deprive you and your friends of It, You
never complained because you were not in
every respect made the equal Of the native
born citizen, aud were satisfied with the
existing laws, although by them you were
ineligible to certain important Offices
But now it Is proposed TO make the negro
not only your equal, but your superior, for
by the adoption of the proposed Constitu-
ti0nal amendment he is made eligible to
these very Offices for which you are not.
It-is true 1t is not probable the people
will very soon elect negro President or
Vice President, but that does not change
the case. He is eligible, you are not, and
SO far he Is politically your superior. Is it
then prudent for US to degrade ourselves 90
far as TO vote for those who would thus ele-
vate above us race Of beings confessedly
our interiors inevery respect. except per-
haps IN respect to descent. Whatever po-
'lltical opinions we may have held hereto
fore, this should not be done BY any foreign
born CITIZEN.

When 1he Southern States Shall
be Admitted To Their Rights.

when The Southern StateS snail
be Admitted 10 Their Rights.
The Ne,O York Independent RadicaL con-
tains the following:
"No leading Republican in Congress
means to admit the ten waiting States
simply on the adoption of the Constitution
al Amendment. These States are TO be dd-
ntted on no conditions short Of the equal polit-
zeal rights of their loyal citizens, ,othoH dis
tincti0n of race. A reconstruction of the
Union on any other basis would be ma
tional dishonor. Until the rebel States can
come back on this basis, they shall not
come back at all.
This is the Radical programme SO far as
the Southern States are concerned. They
shall not be allowed to resume their rights
as States in the Union, until they shall
have agreed that the Negroes resident in
them shall be politically the equals of the
Whites. 1t don't matter one particle
whether the Southern States shall adopt
the Constitutional Amendment with the
understanding that it does not make voters
out OF the Blacks; that will not entitle
them to resume their rights as States. They
musb hNoS maho NOS0iS ONO Vi buO NOkIOcs,
and then II the Radicals shall be fully sat
isaed that the votes of the Negroes will not
be controlled to the disadvantage of the
Radicals by the old masters of the Negroes,
they may allow the Southern States to ex-
ercise their rights as States; but not one
mOmeht- of time before that Oh, no,
they are not in favor Of Negro polite il
equality. M tq tf1

HiRh street.

A correspondent who gives himself the
significant appellation of Lookout" sends
us list of six buggies and three wagons
that were broken down during the past
week on North High street, between the
crossing of the G. & [. Central railway and
the northern terminus of the Street rail-
road. 0ne'of the buggies met with COM
plete smash-up, the occupants narrowly
escaping without the loss of life or limb.
One of the wagons that broke down, was
that of a. countryman, loaded with pota-
toes, who was in consequence obliged to
sell out on the spot at half the market
price.
Lookout" afflrms that these accidents
were owing to the wretched state of
the roadway in that part Of North High
street. In some places, even in the Street
railroad tracks, there are large holes from
ten to fifteen inches deep, and numerous
smaller cavities besides. He advises people,
before they venture to ride in that locality,
to get their. lives and limbs insured, as well
as their horses and vehicles.

A Radical Soldier Meeting FlzzIe
al ChIllicOlhe.

Saturday week the Radicals of Ross uu.
dertook to hold a Soldiers Convention at
Chillicothe to electdelegates to Pittsburgh.
Eyery preparation was made that could be
made TO. o.makeit alarge meeting. Speakers
from abroad were invited. The county
was placarded with flaming posters. A
band was procured But it would not do.
The soldiers of Ross county propose to
vote for wiIGt they fought-the Union. The
AdOatiser says there were not twenty SOL
dlers at tthe-rneeting, and that desperate eff
forts to get up q meeting in the evening
were made, but no audience could be se-
cured. That looks healthy. r

Large Market.

The market on Saturday morning was
one of the largest ever seen in the city.
The number of market wagons and vehi-
cles was immense. A friend Of ours says
he counted over thousand Of them at sew
en- o'clock in the morning, and thinks he
missed considerable number, besides sew
eral that came into market after that hour.
The display OF butter, fruit, vegetables po-
tatoes, and other garden and farm products
was in like proportion. This large mar
ket was owing in great part to the fact that
the long continued rains and consequent
high water and dilapidated state of the
roads and bridges had prevented many Of
our country friends from coming to market
with their supplies for city consumption.
And it will be some time yet before the
roads and bridges will be in as good order
as they were before the late rains.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN.-The Citizen,
(edited by private Miles O'Reilly,) has an
article laudatory of the Fenians, and urg-
ing Irishmen and Americans to contribute
to the Fenian funds We quote single
ominous passage:
We tell the American public-and
they have heretofore found us pretty ac-
curate prophets in everything relative to
the Fenian cause-that before tea, aoeekS
there ,0iU be son,e,0here-Gn Irish Repu6-
lic existing on the face of the earth, with
flag, an army, port of entry and exit,
a navy of privateers, and the tacit en-
couragement, both of France and the
United States in the prosecution of bellig-
erent rights against Great Britain. Let
no one ask us for the present where this
Republic will be located, for we cannot
answer. 1t must be called Republic, to
warrant The flag and feet, but will really
only be used as an immediate basis OF
operations for the transfer of active hos
tilities to the Canadian and Irish soils
a word to the wise is enough. And, now
while the quid nuncs grow excited, the
wise will await developments, giving libe.
rally Of their means to aid the cause nor
will they have to tarry long for the fulfil
ment of all that we herein foreshadow."

The following bill, presented TO the
House of Representatives, by Hon. Geo.
+. Miller, of the Dauphin Congressional
District, proposes to do az act of justice
which has been delayed too long. The
defenders of the national honor, with
those who lost natural supporters By the
casualties of war, have a claim on the Co
vernment which they served, and we are
glad that the Representative has thus
early moved on this subject. The bill
which we print below needs no further
comment. 1t deserves to become a law :
" BE 10 enacted by the Senate and House
IF Representatives Of the United States Of
InaerTcs az Congress assembled, That the
surviving commissioned and non commits
ed officers, musicians, and privates of the
army and navy of the war Of eighteen
hundred and twelve with Great Britain,
who have received an honorable dis
charge, and are now In necessitous CIR
cumstances, and the widows of such as
are deceased, who are in like circumstaD-
ces, shall have their names placed on the
pension list of the United States, and be
paid, out Of any money in the treasury
lot otherwise appropriated, the sum of
eight dollars per month, during their
natural lives, to be computed from the first
day of April, Ammo Domiui one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-fve.
SEC. ,. Ind be 10 further enacted, That
proof that the applicant comes within the
provisions of this act shall be such as is
satisfactory to the Commissioner of Pen
sIons."
