Radicalism tn White TOysnpSIlip
"a Scrap Of Local History.

Radicalism, inconsistent as it is on
many questions, is perfectly consistent in
It's leading principles. These are: l. To
extend the right of suffrage to every negro;
2. To prevent every white man from
voting where it may possibly be done.
II will be recollected that lists of nom
reporting conscripts were to be made cut
and furnished to the different election
boards and those named on these lists
should be deprived of the right of voting.
The Supreme Court of the State, IN the
meantime, declared this law to be uncon-
stitutional and that no man could be
deprived of the right of voting, without
trial and conviction.
But what do radicals care for law?
The lists were made out and furnished to
the different districts. Every in.sligent
man looked upon them as a farce. Many
radical deserters were not on the lists at
all while the lists, as published to the
world, contain the names of CO.. Wm. X.
Carr, DR.. Kern, and other leading radicals,
as we'll as large numbers OF Democrats,
who are entirely innocent of desertion, or
any other offence. Nayl Upon this
list Col. Linton recognizes the names of
those of his brave soldiers, who instead of
deserving the brand of deserters, shed
their blood and gave their lives to their
country on the front of the battle field. -
Thus, besides being false in every partic-
ular, these lists, SO far as Cambria county
was concerned, were base libel on the
living and the dead.
The ''deserter' list of White township
contained no names Of actual voters except
ing those of radicals, and it was supposed
that they would want no list in that town.
ship; but list was taken.
The election board of White township
was Democratic. The radical voters
whose names were on the deserter's list
came forward and voted Afterwards a
Democratic voter presented himself at the
polls, but his vote was objected to as a
deserter the list was examined but the
name was not on it. OF course the board
received his vote. Another Democratic
vote was offered objected to on same
grounds, but not on the list, and received.
A day or SO after, a warrant was
issued for the election officers by young
radical But this was not enough!
A warrant was issued for A II. Fiske,
Esq, for the offence of reading the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Fiske is
q native Of New England, but has for
many years resided in White township
He is a gentleman of education and
refinement as pure and upright man as
ever lived; his only offence being that he
was law abiding citizen. George Wal
ters, Esq, one of the oldest and most
respected citizens of the county, was also
arrested for taking part in the election /;
also the two Democrats, who were not
deserters, for voting at the election.
These men were all dragged before a
justice, to answer foc the high crime they
had committed. When they desired to
be confronted with their accuser, they
were told Of an irresponsible young man
who had volunteered for that purpose
The name of his bail was announced as
entered on the docket
And who was this personage' Truly
great man in Israel, Bearing the name
Of Judge in England celebrated for his
cruelty and love of innocent blood, land
probably descended from a handed
branch of his family y this man is worthy
OF his historical name. He is man of
as many vocations as Proteus had shapes.
He is Doctor of Law, Doctor of Medi-
cine, and Doctor of Divinity-has inven-
ted new Pill and new Church, and
besides, runs a saw-mll He is the
inventor of the Panacea of Life and the
Church of Christ in America the former

latter 70 purge the soul of its sins. Be
sides he is one of the Bse's of real estate.
This parsonage appeared to father the
prosecution
The defendants entered bail to appear,
and prepared to meet their accuser. A
short time before Court, however, one of
them rec eived the following ''Order of the
Court -
