Radical Usurpation.
Now, 60 way white trash !"

The attempt of few radicals in Lou
siana to usurp the Government of the
| State, was the cause of the late riots in
New Orleans, by which several human
| lives were destroyed and when we reflect
upon the enormity Of the designs of the
usurpers, we are surprised that the loss
| of life was not greater than it was. The
idea of the people remaining quiet, while
| a few Northern adventures were engaged
in filching from them their rights, and be-
slowing suffrage upon herds of debased
negroes, was not TO be expected. Had
| they remained quiet, under such provoca-
ton, they would have shown themselves
utterly spiritless, deserving the places OF
their former slaves.
In Missouri the spirit of Radicalism is
rampant it has been revelling in power
fer four years, and should its tyranny and
usurpations arouse the people Of that
State to rise in their anger, we would not
at ali be surprised at it. The course of
the Radicals have this tendency. In that
State the tree of Radicalism was planted
| four years ago and the people, as the
Cincinnati Inquirer remarks are now eat
ing the bitter fruit which it has produced
What it is there it would be everywhere,
if it had the same opportunity for devel-
onnent There have been for the last
four or five yecrs condition of things
there that is only par@Geled by the scenes
in the worst part of thc French reign of
terror in 1898. At an e.,riy period IN
the war, although the State I'D notse-
cede, il passed entirely under the control
of military satraps. These satraps were
themselves the organs and champions of
political faction which was detested by
large majority in the State. They
lent their whole endeavors to make the
rule of small bnt active minority per-
petual. They seized the ballot-box at all
elections, and only persons who were
their creatures were allowed to approach
it. They surrounded it not only with
bayonets, but with annoying and disgust
ing test oaths that were repulsive to the
feelings of a great majority of the people.
When finally installed in power by mill
tary violence, they called Convention,
which framed a Constitution which they
ratified in the same manner, by the bayo-
net and by the use of bogus and fraudu-
lent returns, purporting 10 be cast by SOL
diers in the army stationed outside of the
State. This Constitution is one of the
most shameful political documents, and
would have been disgrace to any coun-
try or any age. 1t was worthy of its
miserable origin. Under it, for instance
the preaching of the gospel is crime,
unless the minister consent to a certain
political test in the form of an oath =

An Exciting Canvass.

The political canvass, in this county,
upon which we are just entering, while it
will be very brief in its duration, will be
a hotly and bitterly contested one. The
Radicals are already in the field, marshal
ING their forces, counting noses, and using
every appliance to accomplish their de-
signs. 1t is boldly affirmed that General
Moorhead has pledged all the money re-
quired to meet the extraordinary expenses
OF the campaign. We have already had
striking proofs of the power of his gold to
get rid Of formidable opposition. 1t Is
the boast of his satellites that he made,
through channels well understood by the
initiated, million Of dollars during the
progress of the war. He can well afford
to part with a large sum of this ill-gotten
gain, to corrupt the voters OF the county,
if by this means he can buy his way back
to Congress. He is an unscrupulous,
willy, adroit demagogue, and is constant
ly on the alert. Still, we think his
shameless practices have become so noto-
rious, that he will be most signally re-
buked at the ballot-b box. These efforts
of the radical disunionists must be met by
equal vigilance, prompt organization and
thorough canvass of every district on the
part of the National Unionists. We have
a County Executive Committee composed
of good men. Let this committee 90 to
work and elect regular committees in
every election district in the county. Ii
is by such an organization alone we can
hope to succeed. A party, like an army,
without organization is nothing better
than a mob, and is powerless to accom-
plish any good. What is to be done
must be done quickly. There is scarcely
six weeks left in which to work. If our
friends will begin the good work, there
need be no fears as TO the result. We
have an incomparably better ticket than
our opponents our platform of principles
is unexceptionable, AID all that is now
wanted to sweep the county by a tTium-
plant majority is systematic canyassing.

e. The issue before the people in the
present campaign is simply this: Can
any party, having majority in Congress,
exclude, during its sovereign will and
pleasure, States from representation in
the lawmaking body OF the country
There are three coordinate branches of
the governmeut-T'he President, the Su-
preme Court, and the Congress. These
constitute the Executive, Judicial and
Legislative branches.
The ten Southern States now excluded
from Congress have been recognized as
completely restored in all their practical
relations to the Union by the Executive
and Judicial branches of the government
Congress alone, for partizan reasons refu-
ses TO recognize them.
These three divisions of the government
constitute three great repositories Of
power. Thus two of those repositories
have accorded to the loyal people of the
South all the rights which law abiding
Americans are entitled 10 and one of
those great repositories, Congress, eonsti-
tuting the minority of the three, refuses to
do this thing upon that clause in the con-
stitution, which makes each house the
judge or the election and qualifications of
Its own n1enaberS.-While it has not ex-
amined into the election and qualifca-
tions Of single member from the South,
but has assumed to pass upon the right
of States to any representation at ALL
This is proceeding which has not the
shadow of warrant in the constitution
nor a precedent in our history, nor in that
Of constitutional government throughout
the World.
The President does not ask, the con-
servative men of the county, that single
man with an unpur@ed disloyal record,
should take his seat in Congress. But
they do ask that whole States be not
shorn of their inalienabe rights without
the slightest warrant of law.

The Kentucky Election.

DuvaI the Democratic Candidate for
ing Majority. The People Will sus-
tain the President. w hite Mem IN ust
Rule.
BY late advices from Kentucky we have
the gratifying announcement that De-
mocracy has triumphed in that State
Duval the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor has been elected over Hobson, (Rad-
icaD by at least thirty thousand of ma
jority. This is glorious news. Two
years ago the Radicals carried the State
by large majority. Last year the ma
jority was small, but now the Democratic
ticket is successful by an overwhelming
one. Bayonets no longer serve for bal
lots. There are no controlling spirits in
the shape of Provost guards to interfere
with the rights of her citizens. The des-
perate rule of the radical leaders taught
them a lesson. One which they have
profted by, not only for their own welfare
Int for the welfare of our whole country.
Can we not hope? Is not the adherence
of the people of Pennsylvania to Radical
ism as great as in Kentucky. Can we
not roll up similar majority! The an
swer will come in thunder tones on the
second Tuesday of next October, when
right shall triumph over wrong; and the
knaves be hurled from power who are
now attempting to revolutionize our
country.

c. The Radicals do not entertain the
high opinion of the s' boys in blue - that
they did year ago, and the reason is
that they do not follow the teachings of
Thad. Stevens, which are intended TO
keep the Union asunder; The Union
which they shed their blood to reunite
Because the "boys in blue" still stand by
the ii:ag of the Union-as the Aqe re-
marks-ihe Radicals are heaping upon
them the grossest ISLANDERS and are doing
all in their power to etface their faithful
services in the field from the reccollection
of their grateful counirymen. A few
months ago, they could not praise these
heroes too highly. Now they see moth
ing even in their military record to ad-
mire and applaud.
These soldiers have not changed one
jot or title of their principles. They are
for the Union now, as they ever were.
And this is the cause of the Radical
grief If they would only agree to en-
gage in the revolutionary and reasonable
schemes of their present defamers, they
would be spared the foul abuse that is
now heaped upon them by the followers
of Sumner and Stevens. But they did
not shrink from meeting the enemies of
of the Union when the country was con-
vulsed by civil strife, and they will not
do SO now. They intend to keep on ''ma-
king treason odious,' and, therefore, they
are now turning their attention to the
Radicals at '' the other end of the line. ="

A white man must have considerable
respect for himself and his race, who will
say by his vote that he is in no wise su-
perior TO a niger. The man who votes
for Geary says this, and if justice were
meted out to him, the rights of a ,rIite
man, in this white mans country, would
be taken from him, ard he would be
placed on perfect equality with the de-
bsuched beings he looks upon as his
equal.

The Douglass Accepts.

Fred Douglass, (negro,) was lately ap-
pointed DELEGATE by the ''Union League
of Rochester, n Y, to the Jack Hamil-
ton (s' mean white'') convention, which
meets in Philadelphia to-day (3d.) 1t
will be seen from the following letter,
published in the Rochester ElpreSS dis
union) that Fred has determined TO lay
aside his repugnance to white trash, .
and to shed the light of his countenance
upon that distinguished body of extempor-
lied outherners-Bergner's and ''Toots"
included:
ROCHESTER, Aug so, 1866.
sc Dear Sir =: Sensible of the unexpect-
ed honor generously conferred upon ne by
the Republican Convention of this city in
appointing me one of its delegates to
meet with the true Southern Unionists
about to convene in Philadelphia, l beg
to state that cheerfully and gratefully
accept the appointment, and will certain
ly attend that true National Convention,
provided | am timely put in possession of
| the proper credentials for that purpose
If this Convention shall receive me, the
event will certainly be somewhat signifi-
cant of progress; if they reject me, they
will only identify themselves with another
Convention, which, from mean motives,
turned its back upon its true friends
Yours very truly,
FREDERICK DOUGLASS"
In noticing the foregoing letter, the \.
Y. Tribune (Disunion) says:
"Frederic Douglass has accepted the
appointment of delegate to the Philadel-
phia Donvention, and will, no doubt, be
| welcomed bo all It's members. 1t would
be fitting recognition of the claims of
his people, not to speak of his own servi-
ces, to place his name in the list of Off
GERS"
Now, 60 way "white trash!'

A Grand FizzIe in Ebensburg.
Renubiican Mass MeetinS.--Features $
of The Day & &c.--The Day.

Having had several changes of weather
within the last few weeks, every person
was eagerly looking for Tuesday the Sd
day of September. And why should they
desire that the third should be favorable +!
Was it because Court was in session and
an important case was to be tried which
would perhaps sentence some unfortunate
victim to the gallows or still worse, to a
life of miserable servitude. Oh mol The
cause was of greater importance 1t was
the cause of Geary, the Republican can
didate for Governor. A Mass Meeting
of the citizens of Cambria county was to
take place in our midst. Every person
desired favorable weather and thank God
they got it; and they are now getting a
favorable notice from the Democratic
press.
THE ARRIVALS.
At half past nine the Branch train ar
rived and with it the Brass Band OF
Johnstown and several understrappers of
Daniel J. Morrell, the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress besides some speakers
that will be introduced to the reader
when their time arrives.
The Brass band was received by a
number of small children, who escorted
them to the Hotel Of mine host Foster
where as Artemus Ward says, "they dis
coursed elegant music" After having
something GO to take - the band proceeded
to the lower end of town to meet the
Jacskon delegation, which consisted of ten
men, twelve horses, eleven boys and a
dog. BY some mishap the Beulah dele
CATION did not receive a reception. They
are highly indignant at the treatment they
received.

men, twelve horses, eleven boys and a

cation did not receive reception. They
are highly indignant at the treatment they
received
A SERNADE
After the Jacksonian delegation arrived,
the Brass band marched up in front of
our office and gave us sernade or at
least we thought it was intended as such.
While they were playing we were remind
ed of verse we used to sing when
child:
The elephant now moves round,
The band begins to play;
And the boys around that monkeys cage
Had better keep away"
The BALL OPENS.
AT precisely half past two O'Clock the
meeting was called to order by a little
"weasel-f4ced'' law yer called Singleton.
He drawed out few remarks unsuita-
BILE to the occasion, which did not even
produce a cheer from the little audience.
We will give short quotation from
this eloquent young mans speech ;
not that the people desire TO hear it, but
merely to give our readers an idea of
Radical eloquence. Hear him and judge
for yourselves:
'sStop fellow citizers. Do not 60
away. A speaker will address you.
One with whom you are acquainted l
will not mention his name. Heis bully
fellow. You must listen TO him. l will
not introduce him. / might as well in
troduce him to his own family. Do
stop and listen. He is hnlly speaker.
His name is John Scott &c. &c. &c.
After this, little Weasel-face sat
down and many an ardent Republican
was pleased that he did so.
JOHNNY SCoTr.
Johnny Scott came forward. He
spoke. We listened (I'hat is US Demo
Gratis, for in one sense of the word it was
a Democratic meeting, as the principal
portion Of the audience supported the
Democratic platform.) He denounced
President Johnson and the Philadelphia
Convention cursed Southern rebels, prais-
ed John Geary and belied Hester ely
mer; said nothing about the negro and
very little about anything else. He re-
t,roI ,xyI,1a ,,,aIn for tho
Democratic party.
A GUERILLA SPEAKS.
The next speaker announced was Hon.
alias General, alias Colonel, alias Captain,
ahas blackguard Montgomery from Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina and Tennesse.
His speech Gf the usages of public speak
ers will allow me to call it such,) abound
ed in nonsense, indecency, immortality and
blackguardism We have heard loafers,
bummers, scoundrels and villains speak
during our short existence but we have
never heard one of the above mentioned
class Of men that could compete with
Montgomery. His language was low;
his gestures disgusting and his whole
manner and appearance that of Balti-
