Thad. Stevens at Home.

The Lancaster MtelHgencer gives the
leader of the revolutionary cabal in Con-
gress frst-rate notice. from which We
make an extract:
An itinerant Yankee, he came to Penn
sylvania to better his fortunes. Embark
ing in politics, he carried into public life
the morality of the vagrant peddler, who
OF bis wares at an exorbitant profit
Dlsregarding every moral obligation, and
repudiating every social tie, he lived the
life Of man isolated from those about
him. Sating his passions where he could,
spurning all the humanizing associations
of domestic life, setting at open defiance
the deepest seated prejudices of race and
color, recognizing no obligations to the
community in which he lived to the State
which furnished him home, or to the
country at large, he cherished in his per-
verted mind and wicked hec..t q single
sentiment which, in the course of time,s
came TO control all other emotions Of his
nature. He hated the South. What
special cause he had for animosity against
the entire white race of that section we
know not.
We can only account for his bitter, un-
bending and unreasoning prejudice, by,
supposing that the innate malignity of
the cold-blooded Yankee was kindled to
unwontcd intensity by very close init,
macy with unworthy specimens of the
negro race Sure it is thatunreasonins,,
unrelenting hate of the South was the
controlling principle Of his whole political
life-the one infamous quality which gave
him public notoriety. Whatever he may
have been once, Thad. Stevens has long
since been rendered incapable of feeling,
or even of comprchcnding the emotion of-
patriotism, as it should exist in the heart
of every American citizen. He had 10
wife, no children whom he recognizedior
called his own, no friends in the accepta-
tion of that word. Ostracised socially in
the communities in which Ire lived, and a
foreigner in the State he made his home,
be has shown himself to be utterly inca-s
pable of comprehending his duty to bis
country. 3.

The STATE OF THE COUNTRY.-On Mon
day last, the Hon. James Farrow, our
representative elect to Congress, and 4
delegate to the Philadelphia Convention,
addressed an unusually large meeting OF
our citizens on the state of public affairs.
After reviewing the present position OF
parties in the North, and the necessity OF
a new party, based on the living issues OF
the present, he adverted to reasons why
he thought all the Southern States should
be represented in that Convention. con-
tending that as our people, by the reor-
ganization Of our State government in
conformity with the Presidents policy of
restoration, have accepted the result OF
the war rs Il final settlement OF all the
questions in controversy between the sec
tions. and that we might as we'll say so
in Philadelphia as in Columbia. He also
contendcd that there was no more aban-
donment of principle in our people, as
citizens, acknowledging their acceptance
of the 'situation," than there was in Gen.
Lees surrender, holding that both were
nccessitatcd by unavoidable and overpow-
erinc circumstances. He expressed a
hope that the Philadelphia Convention
would prove harmonious in its proceed
ings, in which event he thought there
would be probability that the Radical
strength would be diminished in the cleo
tions for Congress, which would take
place this fall in the North, which would
make Congress more conservative, and
MIGHT restore to us some Of the constitu-
tional rights Of States. He thought that
to secure harmony in the Convention it
would be necessary to keep an eye single
to the future, and let bygones be bygones
He said he accepted the appointment Of
delegate to the Philadelphia Convention
with which he had been honored by tho
recent State Convention at Columbia, and
would go with the determination to Co
operate in good faith, without regard tc
past differences, with any and all men

The Coming Civil War.

The Washington National Republican
has the following gstartling announcement
at will be recolIected by our readers who
have kept the run of this paper, that we
intimated suspicion several months ago
that the Radical members of Congress
had entered into conspiracy against the
Constitution to shut out the electoral vote
in 1868 of certain Southern States, and
that about month ago we stated more
clearly what twas. AS no Senator, Rep
resentative, or Radical newspaper has
presumed to deny the allegation, we take
it to have been true. Except so far as it
has since been modified by the ratifca-
tion of the proposed amendments to the
Constitution, we understand the Radicals
to be working up to that programme still.
"The present anxiety about the Presi-
dent of the Senate, to succeed Mr. Eos
ter, grows out of the plan to have man
in the Vice Presidents chair, in Februa-
ry, 1869, who will have courage enough
to refuse to open the electoral returns
from all the States then unrcpresented in
Congress. The letter writer's say that
Senator Wade is the candidate who is
thought to possess the most courage for
such a performance. 1t is unlmportant
who the Senator that shall undertake
that outrage may be, except so far as 1t
may concern his own personal safety, for
it is plot that cannot be carried out
with impunity We do not believe 1t can
be consummated without bloodshed. At
all events, if the electoral votes of the
States thus unlawtully excluded will elect
Il candidate for President who shall not
De elected without them, the people will
find a way to have them counted, by put
tlna the proper President elect into the
Executive Office and maintaining him
there by force il necessary
al we had any hope that anything we
nigh, say would cause the Radicals TO
desist from this revolutionary work, we
should besecch them, by their love of
countlv and its Constitution, by their
regard for the success of the experiment
OF free government, and by the dangers
of lighting anew the flames of civil war
in our country, to pause before they 60
any further 1t is most fearful under
taking. The exclusion Of ten States from
representation in Congress goes to the
utmost verge of forbcarance. No fur
ther outrage can, in our opinion, be SUI
peradded to it without breaking the pub
lie peace and exposing the country to the
horrors of another civil war, in which
the people of the excluded States would
have the sympathy Of the civilized world.
'sIt will be the first duty of the Nation
al Union Convention to denounce this
foul conspiracy in proper words to the
whole American people, to the end that
the people may do something towards
averting the catastrophe which is certain
to ensue from its consummation, at the
autumnal elections. We cannot think it
possible that the people at large are so
far demoralized as to send back to Con-
gress many of these conspirators against
the Constitution if they can be made TO
understand the nature ard enormity of
the DlOt"

JOY coMETH IN THE MORNING.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Oh, deem not they are best alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
For God, who pities man, hath shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears;
And weary hours Of woe and pain
Are promises of happier years.
There is day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may hide an evening guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
Nor let the good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny;
Though with pierced and broken heart,
And spurned of men, he goes to die.
For God hath marked each sorrowing day
And numbered every secret tear,
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here

People viii Talk.

We may go through the world but it will be slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we go;
Well be worried and fretted, and kept in stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have something to do
For people will talk, you know, people will talk;
o, yes, they must talk, you know.
If quiet and modest, you'n have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're a wolf IN Sleeps clothing, or else you're
fool;
But don't get exoited-keep perfectly cool.
For people will talk, etc.
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their spleen
YouH hear some loud hints that you're selfish and
mean;
If upright and honest and fair as the day,
They'll call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking way.
For people will talk etc.
And then if you show the least boldness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They'll call you an upstart, conceited and vain
But keep straight ahead and don't stop to explain
For people will talk, etc.
Some one, of course, will take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way;
But don't get excited whatever they say.
For people will talk, etc
If you dress in the fashion, don't think TO escape
For they criticise then in a different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tsors unpaid
But mind your own business, there's nought to be
made.
For people will talk etc.
They'll talk fine before you, but then, at your back,
OF venom and sland0r there's never a lack;
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter gall when you're out of the way.
| Fer people will talk, etc.
The best way to do is do you please
For your mind, if you have one will then be at ease;
| Of course you will meet all sorts of abuse,
| But don't think to stop them isn't any use.
For people will talk, you know, people will talk;
o. yes, they must talk, you know.

A Democrat On the Situation.
SPEECH OF GEN'L JOHN A. LOGAN
GEN. LOGAN TO HIS SOLDIERS.


General Sherman, General Logan
and Governor Oglesby addressed a
large meeting of their former comrades
in arms at Salem, Illinois, on the 4th
inst. General Logan's address is too
lengthy to publish entire in our col
umns, but we extract some portions
relating to matters of current interest
Our readers are aware that General
Logan was always Democrat, and an
ardent supporter of Stephen A. Doug
las when that lamented statesman was
a candidate for President During the
speech from which we quote Gen. Lo
gan said:
Would you have believed two years
ago, when certain great man of this
land said that treason must be made
odious and traitors must be punished,
and not only that, but that they must
be impoverished, and that their prop
erty must be distributed among the
loyal people, that he would declare that
they were entitled to representation
in the United States? mol If he did,
he had "A very strange way Of express,
ing himself That is all | can say on
that subject. Laughter. No, sir, the
| work Of restoration in this country be.
longs to loyal men and not to traitors,
and while loyal men are engaged in
performing this work and restoring
this country they must say to these
traitors: Gentlemen, we intend to
confer these rights upon you whenever
we are minded to. 1t is not for you to
say the time when it shall be done,
but it is for Us to say. 1t is in our
hands, in our power; we have the
right, and you have no privileges in
this country" ["Good, good, that's
so."1
But it is said that inasmuch as these
States have been recognized, and Ger
| tam OF them have acted on certain sub
Jects, that they are fully restored. -
why, my countrymen, that is a great
mistake. They are restored so far as
the act that they perform is recogniz-
ed by our Government as lawful 4;
whether it was lawful at the start and
at the inception or not, by the recog-
milton we made it lawful Hence, the
onl y acts that they can perform are
such acts as we recognize as being law
ful by our recognition. The acts that
we say to them they shall not perform,
they cannot perform until we say they
shall.
Let US, then, examine the question
a little further. Oh, but some of the
opposite say, why if you do not allow
these people to be represented thero is
one half of the Union unrepresentcd
and the laws that you pass in Congress
are unconstitutional because a portion
of the country is unrepresented.-
Laughter
Well, | presume upon the same hy-
pothesis all the laws that we passed
during the war are unconstitutional
because Jeff Davis part of the country
was not represented. Laughtcr.] Sc

we agreed, we have worked for YOU;

we dun you. Here are agreements
for job work, contracts for subscrip-

duns for deferred payment. Who is
