THE PARTY OF PERFIDY.

In considering the purposes of the
Abolition party and the probable results
Of its policies, says the Crisis, the i'm
portant fact cannot be too often recalled
that that organization has advanced to
the accomplishment of all its purposes
continually and persistently disclaim-
ing those purposes. Knowing that an
open and candid declaration of its objects
would be the signal for the reputation
of the people, its leaders have been as
bold in denying their real purposes in
public as they have been earnest and
INSCRIPTIONS in promoting them in
secret or when opportunity offered. It
cannot have escaped the attention of
any rejecting man that at the organi-
cation of the Black Republican party,
its founders declared its object to be the
prevention of the extension of slavery
into the territories, and Indignantly dis
claimed any intention to interfere with
that institution in the States. Thepeo
were begulcd by the first proposition
into giving the Black Republicans the
power, and they Immediately set to
mcddling with slavery in the States.-
The war resulted; and the Black Re-
T publicans became "the Union party -
they still declared in the most solemn
manner that it was not the purpose Of
the war to destroy State institutions;
but scarcely had the ink dried with
which their oaths We're signed, than
they violated them. They Indignantly
repealed as SANDER the imputation that
they proposed to arm the negroes as
soldiers; yet in the second year of the
war, without the plea of necessity to
palliate the perfidy, they armed the
blacks. They as Indignantly swore that
it was no part Of their purpose, in arm
ing the negroes, to give them a chance
to set up a claim for the right of suffrage;
! yet the same treacherous leaders began
to plot and agtate the suffrage question
before single negro had lost his life in
the army. Two years ago they still

FIENDISH.

The following is an extract from a
speech Of John w. Eorney, at Lacka-
wanna, Pa, on the 18th inst:
If the Southern people do not ratify
this negro equalization amendment, or
if they defeat it, what then? ! think |
see by the glitter of your eyes, and
know by the throbhing of my heart,
that if they should ever be guilty of
this new intatuation, the war that would
ensue would establish this fact, that that
which has passed was but child's play
or as a picnic to that which will come.
The army that will go to the Southern
country will go there to stay; it will
not be an army of invasion, but AN army
of migration it will not go there to re-
venge but to eXtirpate. Brownlow's
remedy will indeed be tried; there will
be three cOlumns-the one to kill, the
second to burn, the third to divide the
plantations among the men that goodwin

resolve III the glitter of Your eyes, and
| feel it in the throbbing of my heart
| feel it everywhere-i hear II in the
trumpet voice of destiny That we shall
not prevail against these men is to eX-
poet that God is dead.
Language breathing more malignant
anu tiendish spirit was never uttered by
human lips. This leading exponent of
radicalism, threatens the Southern
States, that unless they ratify the
amendment to the United States Consti-
tuition, which proposes to make their
negro population politically equal with
the whites, war of eXtirpation shall
be waged against them-a war, COM
pared with that which we have just
passed through "will be but a child Is

can cherish so fell a purpose as is here
revealed is fit abode only for the black
est spirits from the bottomless pit. And
yet there are those calling themselves

JUDGE HARRISON ON THE REGISTRY
ACT.
ACT.

1t IS with 40 little satisfaction that we
present to the readers of the New Era,
the decision Of Judge Harrison, recently
rendered at Romney, upon the appli-
cation Of James d. Armstrong, ESQ.
for Writ Of Mandamus, to compel the
Board of Registration of Hampshire
County to register his name as voter.
Aswe publish entire the communication
OF Mr.. Armstrong to the voters of that
county, in which he sets forth all the
facts of the case, it is unnecessary for us
to state them. Judge II. has decided in
the most positive manner, that the
Registrars have no right to require the
test oath of any man as a condition of
registering nm as a voter--that so much
OF the Registration Act as requires Regis
trars to administer that oath to any ap-
pleant tor registration, is g a11coasti-
tWioaal, null and eoid,o-that no man
who IS entitled to vote under the Consti-
tuition Of the State, can be prevented
from doing 50 by any authority derived
nom the Registration Act-and that if
any Registrar and Board of Registration
refuses to register any such man, who is
an applicant fer registration, they can
be compelled by proper legal process,
duly to enter his name on the Registry
as legal voter. The relations of Mr..
Armstrong to the Confederate govern
ment had been such, that he could not
and would not, as he states, take the
oath rendered him-but 50 far as appears
from the record of the case, he had all
the qualifications which the CoNsr1-
TUITION required, to entitle him to vote.
There are hundreds of similar cases in
this county,-and we hope that they
will all demand their rights, and Il

SADNESS or lIeMoRIsTs.-One Of the
anenalis3 OF literary history is that il
has been the lot of those men who have
contributed largely to the mirth or recre-
alton OF others, to endure more than an
ordinary share Of the misery, and want
ol their own lives. The most enter
tanning portions Of literature have been
bowed down by sorrow, and at moments
When that sorrow has been the heaviest

deepened by his own poverty, that John
son penned the charming tale of " Ras-
selas; )" it was in the chill desolation OF
q bare and titless garnet, that poor Gold
smith, the beloved vagrant Of literature,
sketched the brightest picture of do
nestc happiness the world ever had
twas from sick bed, in some distress,
ana IN necessitous exile. that Tom
HOOD shook all England With laughter.

denied them will resort to the same
remedy which proved SO etfeetual III the
case of Mr.. Armstrong. We may add,
that Judge Harrison rendered similar
decisions in Hardy county, IN the cases
of Judge Allen and others. We have
always believed and maintained IN our
columns, that the Voters Test Oath, as
prescribed by the Legislature of this
State was from the beginning a nullity,
because in direct disregard Of the State
Constitution, and that the rights ofevery
citizen who has been denied the priv
lege of voting, because of his refusal to
take that oath, have been grossly out
ragged. We have also regarded the
Registry Act, passed last February, SO
far as it preseribes any qualifications for
voters, other than those embodied in the
Constitution at the time that Act was
passed, as equally nullity-and Judge
Harrison has SO decided-and the Court
of Appeals in the Brook county case,
has virtually decided the same thing.
Moreover, we believe the proposed
to the Constitution of this
S voted upon by a portion of the
people last May forms 10 part of that
Constitution, because carried by the en-
forcement of the provisions Of an act,
w / are unconstitutional, null and
Void This amendment was never
q submitted to the voters of the State
for ratification or reeetion,o as the
requires. The Constitution
decides who are voters-and to their de-
cision at the polls, any proposedamend-
ment must be submitted before ii can
become part Of the organic law Of the
State. Now, the constitutional voters
Of this State, at the time that amend
ment was voted upon, consisted of all
g the white male citizens of the State
who were not minors. nor Of unsound
mind, nor paupers, Dor under conviction
Of treason, felony or bribery in an elee
ton. and who had resided in the State
a year, and in the county When they
offered to vote, thirty days" All white
male citizens Of the United States re-
siding in this State at that time, and
not embraced in any Of the above named
exceptions, We're citizens of this State
and entitled to vote: and yet not one
half of them were permitted Il exercise
that privilege. The Registry Act, with
It's test oath Wis sternly enforced and
thousands Of constitutional voters were
denied their votes, enough TO have
given an overwhelming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the amendment. This subject we have
presented to our readers before-but il
is important that they keep fresh in
their minds the illegal acts of the I'M
principled faction that dominates over
the State with such wanton tyranny and
crime. Their conduct cannot stand the
test Of honest investigation when
fully exposed will reveal depths of base
ness and guilt, unsurpassed in the history
of Official corruption or individual degra-
dation.

portance to this language OF forhey, as
indicative of any danger to the south,

waoine WARRIOR he is, we think, as ar

such language can be uttered IN the

even applause, it is impossible to pre-
dict the fearful results to which the mad
ness of the hour may lead. The threats

Wilson, and other prominent radical
leaders. are of a similar character Will
they attempt to carry them into exc
-cutiono If successful in the approach
ing elections, we believe they will.
Their fanaticsm, united with their in
satiate greed of place and power, and
unrestrained by any principle of patriot
ism or christian morality, will stimulate
them to any deeds which they may
deem necessary to the attainment of
their ends. With them, the Consti-
tuition is nothing-the rights of States
are nothing-the opinions of the vene-
rable living, and of the honorea dead,
are nothing-the appeals of humanity
the claims Of honor are nothihg-but
the carrying out of their own false and
fanatieal philosophy, is every thing
and to this they are reaayte sacrifice all
that gives strength and unity and glory
to our Nation, and all that makes the
social relations among Us fountains of
peace and Of blessing.

THE radical fanatics are threatening
another war, unless their Ubiquitous
schemes can be carried out. That our
country may be delivered from the in
describable horrors of such a war as the
one threatened would inevitably be,
must be the earnest desire and prayer
of every patriotic and christian heart.
But sooner than see the radical disunion-
lists and negro sufirageites successful in
carrying out their degrading and ruin
ous neutrality-suspicious. the Gonsti-
tution Of the United States subverted,
and the rights Of States absorbed by a
central government, and that govern
ment made an instrument of tyranny
over portion of this Republic, as these
fanatical men propose, we say let war
come in any form it may assume, and
may God defend the right!
