THE TRUE REMEDY.-The news from all parts
of the State is. that the Sheriffs of the various
counties (by order of the courts have been strip
ing the backs of rogues, black and white, in the
old style-from 30 to 80 lashes being the amount
administered. This old fashioned way of admin

good effect. Those who consider it 'barbarous"
may leave the State if they choose.

A WAKNING.-If the radicals whs control
Congress really had the good of the country at
heart they would stop in their mad career and
listen to the voice of reason and common sense;
but they rush on, nctuated by partizan motives.
hatred and spite. without the least regard for the
welfare of the Union at large. The New York
Herald dagucrrcotypes the situation in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"A crash is impending. Imported goods Or
dered long ago. in anticipation of an immense
Spring trade. are pouring in upon our merchants.
but no goods are sold. What is the reason of
this stoppage in business! 1t is the Radicalism
of Congress. Our merchants counted on large
influx of buyers from the South as soon as the
war and the Union restored. The war
Is over: but Congress persists in keeping the
South out of the Union. consequently there is
Southern trade. The Western merchants ar
rive here, look about, see no business doing,
rivalry, no competition, and conclude that they
will wait awhile before purchasing. until things
get settled. There is now no sale for the goods
produced by our manufactures. Presently the
manufactures will have to stop work. Then we
shall see thousands of people thrown out of en-
ployment. starvation staring them in the face,
their children crying for food. Riots will follow.
and perhaps revolution. Why is all this =
Not because of the high price of gold for gold is
lower than at any time during the war. Not be-
cause of the tariff. for that has not been changed
since the No; it is because few dozen rad
icals in Congress have made up their minds to
ruin the country, or carry the next Presidential
election by negro votes, or by the exclusion OF
all votes from the South. 1t is because another
rebellion. more. wicked than the last, is tugging
at the vitals of the nation. 1t is because a few
men at Washington prefer their party to their
country. Let the people mark them well and re-
member them in the future.

The following is the Address of the
State Central Committee of the Pennsyl
vania Democracy. 1t is admirable for its
strength and its brevity. We
publish it as suitable for all ATTITUDES and
for all men who sincerely desire the res
toration of the states to equal dignities
and rights under the Constitution of our
fathers. ....
We shall keep it standing some weeks
The issues of the canvass arc made up.
The restoration of the Union and the
preservation of your form of government
are the vital questions that now confront
you.
Secession is dead, but Disunion still
lives. Slavery is extinct, but Fanaticisu
survives. i@a "N "

power upon the ruins Of the Constitution,

charity and national concord. ~ 'j.'@
Congress refuses to nourish the resources

Their work has passed into history. To
the impartial mind that work is perfect
answer to the charge that the South is not
ready for restoration.
Composed of men of every section, hold

CORRESPONDENCE.

llALLowELI, May 9il, 1866.
DEAR JoURNAL:-Stepping from the ears
ut this place was met by a freud with the
abrupt exclamation, "Wmt arc you down
here i6r-not to work for Spring, arc you p
"Mr. Spring will make good Governor, and
so will Gen. Chamberlain, hut neither will
ever show his Gubcrn,torial fitncs, unless
clcc,cl;" AMI will, this lucid explanation we
dropped tho subject Sobcrly. while tho
eastern counties yield the location Of the Gov
crnor to the western, they arc somewhat nc
tive in the choice of the candidate. As pop
ularly represented, re. by the Press, | should
say that Chamberlain would have greater
strength in tho eastern portion Of the
State, than Spring. But there are those wl,u
shake their heads, and say, during these peril.
Gus financial times we nccd n sound fnancier
like Spring, aud perhaps WE do; in return it
is asserted that the State Treasurer is elected
for that purpose. Not much stir being made
about either Sheplcy or Perry perhaps they
will not be prominent candidates before the
Convention, unless the contest between the
first two gentlemen named shall he close.

To one familiar only with the present con.
,liton OF this ancient little city it will be some
what of surprise to state that, thirty years
ago llallowcll did more business than both
Gardiner aud Augusta. 1t was in the enjoy.
ment Of very large wholesale trade, and as a
sample, gentleman informed me that ono
year 100000 bushels Of grss seed were sold
but now the old place has itself gone to seed,
and it is superstition entertained by outsd.
es that ut every midnight hour in every house
ghostly shadowy forms chant rquicms to
departed Days" But our abrupt friend loves
to state how some persons Of more or less
note once here lived, moved and had their
being. Down there in that unpretentious and
homcly block Judge Rice learned the print
ers trade with Glazier Masters and Smith,
subsequently he edited paper at Augusta,
his friends by being admitted to the
Bar, and in a very short time was appointed
one of the Justices Of the Supreme Bench.
