Keen Them Out.

"When men ask me how long would keep
those men out, | say keep them out upttI tie
hearel,s melt sotth ferrent heat, until they
will allow free speech and free press through
out the land. And if it should not come in
this generation, we will swear our sons to
keep them out until they are fit for a repub-
lican form of government.
So saysthe woman torturer woman-insulter
and woman-humiliator When he uttered
the foregoing he was in agony over the death
of Dostie, and took from his side-pocket his
moral handkerchief and wiped the tears
from his dubious eyes. In Indiana, Missouri,
and some other States, the Beast will find,
if his distorted optics will permit, outrages
against law and order, peace and security,
the freedom of speech and the press, as any
where at the South. Passion, revenge and
thirst for power are confined to no locality,
North or South. We see that in Radical
atrocities upon their opponents wherever
they have the power to inhict them. But
what we wanted to say was, simply, that
BUTLER represents the true Radical party.
There can be no Disgusting this fact They
would keep out the South until the heavens
melt with feryent heat, unless the people of
the Southern States allow the blacks to vote,
and even then they would not be admitted to

Thad. stevens on Foreigners.

After having been re-nominated for Con-
gress, last week, at Lancaster, Thad Stevens
made speech, from which we make the fol-
lowing extract, to show in what estimation
our naturalized citizens are held by the head
of the great moral reform" party:
''We have not yet done justice to the op-
pressed race We have not gone as far as
the Emperor of Russia, when he ordered
the freedom of thousands of his oppressed
people and endowed them with the right of
citizenship. We have been too much gov
erned by our prejudices. We have listened
too much to those whose cry is NEGRO
Equality Niger =" Nigger" -" Mig
gerT ne are Influenced too much by those
persons from foreign lands tcho, aeItite an
them WHO ARE THEIR EQUALS.
There is plain manifestation of the real
feelings of the Radicals toward the foreign
population Of this country If they could,
they would deprive every adopted citizen Of
the right to vote, and confer that sacred
franchise on the negro instead. While some
men are trying to deceive few simple
hearted Irishmen into the belief that they
are the friends.of green Erin. "Old Thad
comes out at his own home and speaks the
honest sentiment of the Radical wing of the
Republican party. He boldly declares his
preference for the negro over the foreign
born white citizen, and avows his belief that
the negro is superior to the Irish or the
German races.
Is that enough for naturalized citizens?
Do they need more convincing proofs that
the internal spirit of Know-Nothingism still
exists in the hearts of Thaddeus Stevens and
all his followers? If they do, let them vote
for Geary, himself an original Nnow7 Moth
ing, and they will repent of their folly when
it shall be too late. No foreign-born citizen
can vote for a radical candidate unless he is
willing to be reduced to condition below
the negro. That is what Stevens and all the
Radicals wish to see done.

cordance with the action Of the Democratic
Standing Committee. and in conformity to
the wishes of the people of Columbia county,
the name Of the Hon. LEVI L. TATE, the
nominee of Columbia, as our Candidate for
Representative. This action has been taken
after mature and serious elaboration by the
masses of our people, in vindication of their
injured rights, and to redress the broken
faith Of the people of Montour-which has
been both deceptive and perfdious and for
the consummation of which measures, the
confding, noble-hearted people of Old
Columbia" and In the District, have our
concurrence and heartysupport. We there
fore, place the name Of Col. Tate upon our
Ticket, instead Of that of Capt. Chalfant,
referring tho public to the correspondence
Of our people and the action Of the commit
tee and conferees, published elsewhere in
this journal. as full justification of our
course in the premises, and have no doubt

State Senator.

The nomination of Hon. GEORGE D.
JACKSON, of Sullivan county, for State Sen
ator gives entire satisfaction to the Democ-
racy, so far as we can learn, throughout the
district Of the three candidates before the
Conference we preferred the choice of our
own county, but unable to see that choice
placed upon the ticket we shall labor asear-
nestly ond diligently for the success at the
pollsof the more fortunate candidate, Mr..
JACKSON. He is social, clever man, has
had considerable Legislative experience, ahd
will make, as he has heretofore, safe Leg

Vile SANDER.

DIsumon stump speakers have commenced,
in their desperation, vile SANDER upon the
President, bycharging him with participating
in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. The in
famous Jack Hamilton, lately driven away
from Texas, made this charge at a disunion
meeting IN Luzerne, a few days ago, and we
have since heard the charge reiterated.
Now, it is patent to almost every reader,
that, according to therevelasions of our most
pious divines whose special mission is to re-
veal the will of God, President johnson
came into power by special act of Divine
Providence. 1t was so announced in public
prayers in nearly all the churches, it was
made public in sermons, many ofwhich were
published, and are now on record. That
these pious divines could be mistaken, is to
doubt their veracity or the faithfulness of
their lives to the Masterwho made them the
exponents of his doctrines and truths.
We ask, how is it possible, in the light of
truth and history, that you can find any di-
vine, any respectable clergyman, and they
ought all be such, who can now deny the po-
sltion they so solemnly took, and promulgated
in ''the very hour and article of death. 4"
when nation was mourning in one and re-
joicing in the other.
As an earnest that the clergy are impress
ed with knowledge of this divine, truth, we
have but to remind the pious reader, that
he may go into any church, where prayers
were so profusely made for President Lin
coin, who stood so eminently inneed of them
and he will hear none uttered by President
johnson, for ''the Divinity which shapes
our ends has made it unnecessary.

priced of having been placed upon the ticket

subserve the interests of the Democracy and
the country faithfully, with fidelity and to the
best of my ability. Thanking you, cordially,
gentlemen, for the distinguished honor con-
ferred, l am,
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

Economise and Pay Your Debt
Restore the Union and increase your Resour-
ces.-Our National Debt is to be Paid.

An individual upon whom debt presses
VIII curtail his expenses and econo1nise in
order to free himself from the incumbrance.
Is not this the true course of the nation p
The President afirms that it is, and he
vetoed the Civil Rights and Freedmen's
Bureau Bills, and refused the immense pa
tronage they bestowed upon him; among
other reasons, because they were enormously
expensive to the people Congress votes
money without regard to the payment of the
debt.
The President has always been known a.
an advocate of economy in the administra-
ton of the Government.
Congress, under the lead of Stevens, is
extrayagant and reckless, and VIII load the
people with additional debt.
He, who would have a productive farm.
must keep up the fences, nourish the soil.
and strengthen and invigorate it where it is
weak. So the Government, if it would be
rich, mighty and prosperous, must encour-
age industry, develop It's resources and in
every section stimulate the people to coin
"Os'ith Aioih u4liCidlS, Agriculture, OO0l-
merce, Trade and Manufactures.
The President would develop the great
resources of the South and cause them to
aid in paying the National Debt, by admin
istering the Constitution and the laws.
Congress imposes new conditions, and will
not allow those enormous resources to be
fostered, but from love of power and spirit
of hate, retards the growth of wealth in
that section, and by renewed agitation en-
dangers the security of our debt
Which is the better policy?
Shall we economise, and increase our re-
sources or shall we be extravagant, and
continue TO agitate?
The President says the former; Congress
says the latter.
Stewart, Vanderbilt, Astor, and other
New York capitalists, who hold more of the
National debt than the same number of men
anywhere, are for the President and against
Congress.
They are business men, and believe that
the same rule applies to the Republic that
applies to the individual if he would get
rich, he must economise and foster his re-
sources.
Do you hold Government Bond?
Is it safer under Stevens and agitation, or
johnson and the Constitution?

ciude that the people of the county, in gen
eral Convention assembled, By their repre-
sentative delegates, did not desire that the

should concede the nomination of the cardi-
date from Montour, unless Mohtour countv
should aid Columbia in the maintenance &C
her rights to the nomination of the choice of
the Columbia Convention for State Senator
Therefore, believing that we are acting in
accordance with the viii of the people as
expressed in the resolution appointing the
Representative Conferees and by and with
the concurrence of said Conferees, we
place Hon. LEVI l. TATE before the peo-
pie of the countyas the Democratic candidate
for the Office of Representative in the State
Legislature, from the district composed of

GEN1IEEN I'VE deem it our duty as
Democrats to call your attention to circum-
stances connected with the recent nomina-
tons for State Senator, and Representative
in the Districts indicated, with which our
county Is connected !; and we do this with q
view especially to the interests of the great
Democratic Party in general, and Of the In
terests of the counties with which we are
politically connected in particular
At the recent Democratic Convention of
this county, John Snyder and r. C. Fruit,
Esqrs', were appointed Representative Con-
ferees on behalf of said county and iustruc-
ted by the Convention, as follows:

with instructions to support the choice Of
Montour county. Prortded, said county use
her influence in the support of a candidate
fer State Senator from Columbia county.
This resolution was unanimously adopted
blythe Democratic Convention of Colunbia
county; but at the meeting of the Repre-
sentative Cenfereees of the counties of Co
lpmbia and Montour, Mr.. Thomas Chalfant,
the candidate for Member from Montour in-
sisted that the prOviso contained in said res
olution was uncaIled for and unnecessary, for
the reason that the nominee for State Sena-
tor was already concealed to Columbia ooun-
ty and Mr. Chalfant himself, as wellas his
Conferees, Joseph H. Campbell and John
McWiIliams, Esqrs., as also his personal
friends who had accompanied him from
Montour to bloomsbury, pledged themselves
to be "on hand, at the time of the coming
Senatorial Conference. to secure, beyond the
possibility Of doubt, the nomination of Hon.
LEVI L. TATE, as candidate for State Sena-
tor, In the spirit Of the above resolution
After this pledge, the Representative Con-
fsrees of Columbia county, gave the nomi-
nation Of Member to Mr. Chalfant. But
what happened at the Senatorial Confer
ence? (It was held, as all know, after DIR.
