OuTRAGE.-On Friday last, some one
placed an obstruction on the track of the
Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad be-
tween Milford and Guinea station. Fortu-
nately, it was discovered in time to be re-
moved before the train came upon it. 1T
will be seen that the company-through
the advertisement of Captain Bragg, the
Supcrintendcnt,-otfcr reward OF five
hundred dollars for the conviction of the
person who placed the obstruction on the
track. The motive for such an outrage
must be the most diabolical if its author
was not dcrangcd, and it would be a good
thing if an example could be made of some
one who is guilty of this crime. 1t en-
dangers the lives Of many; and this is not
the first time that the trains on this and
other roads have been put in such peril.

charmingly. Tonight, the Daughter of

WOOD MEMORIAL AssoCIATIoN.-Mr. Plea
SAINTS delivers his lecture on Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock, at Trinity Church,
corner of Broad and Twentieth streets.
His subject il" 7" Richmond Forty odd Years
Ago" When he delivered the lecture
two weeks ago, it was heard by one of the
most intelligent audiences ever assembled
I'D Richmond, and the house was crowded.
Everybody was pleased, as indeed every
one must be, by composition of such
elegance and simplicity, so rich in narra-
tive and incident, so enlivencd by wit and
humor, and occasionally so exquisitely pa-
thctic and eloquent. Mr.. Peasants is a
mimic of rare powers, and uses this faculty
with much Judgment and fine effect in
some of his representations of distinguished
men.
We need not say anything about the OBJ
iect of the lecture. TIE lakewood Associ-
alton is near the hearts of our people. Ii
needs money, and we shall be greatly dis
appointed if this lecture, and every other
entertainment it may provide for the public,
is not literally patronized. Pecunary
encouragement now is essential to the
vigorous action of the Association. 1t
willgrcatly cheer the hearts and strengthen
the hands of those patriotic ladies who
have undertaken vast and almost ap-
palling work. Nothing but love for the
undertaking, and the sympathy and co-ope-
ration of their fellow citizens, can give
them the courage to prosecute it against
all the difficulties that lie before them.

Address of the Democratic State Central
Committee.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE Rooms,
HARRISBURG, Pa, Mar. q, 1866.
To THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
A civil contest, laden with grave results,
has Just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of the
State have announced their platforms and
presented to you their candidates.
The Democracy distinctly avow their
purpose to restore the Union and to main
tain the superiority of the white man.
Their opponents refuse to restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the
policy of the President, and again at
tempt to deceive you in regard to negro
suffrage.
The restoration of the Union is an is
sue embracing and oyershadowing all 9th :
ers,
If it be postponed, and agitation contin-
ued. you will deny that the war was "a
war for the Union = you will shake your
form of government to its base, jeopardize
the security of your National debt, incur
the hazard of financial revulsion, fetter. the
development of your industrial resources,
make desert of the fairest portion of the
Republic and aid in elevating the negro at
the expense of the white man.
The period Of reaction after great ma
tional exertion is oftener fatal to free in
stitut1ons than the severest throes of civil
warfare, and radical disunionists seize that
hour to consolidate your Government by
amending the Constitution and to perpetu-
ate their power through the political equal
ity ofthe negro.
Prolonged agitation or prompt restora-
ton are the alternatives presented.
MEN OF THE KEYSTONE
Look back upon your history, and in the
light of that retrospect determine whether
you will be led to your ruin by reckless
disturber of the peace of your Common
wealth, or will follow the President by the
paths of the Constitution 10 the haven of
peace, order and security.
The Democracy present to you, with
pride, their candidate for Governor; a
Pennsylvania by birth; of revolutionary
family pure, honest, capable; possessed
of large experience, and gifted with the
rarest qualities of the head and of the heart,
no man need blush to follow where HESTER
CLYMER leads the way.
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA:
ALLIs WELL; YOUR CANDIDATE WILL
BE SUSTAINED; TRIFLING PERSONALITIES
GIVE WAY BEFORE THE ONWARD MARCH OF
GREAT PRINCIPLES. BE ASSURED OF Sue
CESS, AND LABOR TO DESERVE 1T.
By order of the Democratic State Com
mittee.

The Issue MADE UP.--J. w. Forney,
the Republican leader, the bitter enemy of
the President, the Union and the white
race, announces that negro suffrage is the
issue before the country. Read what he
writes:
"When the question of Universal suf-
frage came up in the House of Reprcsen-
tatves on the 18th instant there were 1l6
votes in the affirmative and 81 in the neg
ative, of which there were only fourteen
Unionists the balance being so called
Democrats. The issue is thus made up
between the great Union party and its ad-
rersaries, Shall these l16 patriotic repre-
scntatives be discarded and disgraced, be-
cause of their vote in favcr of universal
suffrage in the District of Columbia?
Geary was nominated for governor by
the influence of Forney and other negro
equality radicals.
Remember the issue they make for them
selves.

fire. With this comforting assurance we
were left without lights for the remain
der of the night.
You can doubtless imagine that our re-
fections now were not of the most pleasing
nature nor such as would be conducive
to sleep; yet strange to say we did sleep /;
although we were fairly benumbed with
cold and even in our dreams we were not
wandering "neath Tropic Suns" but
rather to "Greenland's icy mountains
About day-break we werc reused by an
unusual commotion around us; and cur
rent of cold air which was far from desira-
bic just then; however on learning the
cause, "that we had at last run across that
acood," and that they were throwing it in
at the open doors, We felt far more like re-
joicing than murmuring. And now with a
good fire and daylight, we could only
laugh at our forbodings of the night before !;
and indeed we soon found that we had
been really fortunate in our nights adven-
ture for at ten o'clock A. NJ, we came
upon a train which had left Macon several
hours before US; their Locomotive had
run off the track, and they had spent most
of the night in vain en!eavors to replace
it. We could not continue our journey
until this obstacle was removed; conse-
quently the gentlemen turned out en- naosse,
to help our neighbors and in about three
hours we were again moving onward, and
at three o'clock P. M. entered the city of
St. Joseph.

EE- The Connecticut Election, which
took place on Monday last, to the result
of which, the whole country have been
looking with such anxious solicitation,
plainly exhibits tie fact that"John Browns
SOUL instead of of'marching on" is, in the
nutmeg state at least, on a most disastrous
retreat. The thousands Of abolition maiori-
ty of last Fall, has been diminished to
hundreds this Fall. Hawley, the anti-ad-
ministration candidate is elected by about
1000 majority.

ALL THE LEADING ABoLlTIoNisTs IN
PENNSYLVANIA IN FAVOR OF NEGRO SUI
FRAGE.--Not a "Republican" Senator,
Representative. or leader in Pennsylvania
has denied being in favor of negro suffrage
the majority of them, in fact, have spo-
ken freely and feelingly in favor oft. And
yet, forsooth, the Republican party is not
in favor of negro suffrage! What gam
mon. What are leaders but the pioneers,
the thinkers, the spokesmen, the rulers and
lawgive7s of party? Such subterfuges
won't do. So surely as deadly poison
is concealed behind the fangs of the rattle
snake, ready TO do the fatal work ofthe rep
tile, so surely is the negro suffrage heresy
held in the background by the Re-
publican Headers, who are awaiting the
propitious moment to strike that social and
political poison into the body of society.

G The President has just issued a
proclamation declaring the rebellion at an
end-That all organized resistance to the
government has ceased-Tfat the states
lately in rebellion, are as before, integral
parts of the union, having never severed
their conncxion with it. They are to be
treated as states in the union and not as
territories. The sword from this time on
is to be sheathed-The right of the writ Of
babeas corpus, to be respected-Peace, law,
liberty and prosperity, triumphant over
war, anarchy, despotism and ruin.
All hail Andy johnson.
