This body at the late session Of
their General Conference, at New Or.
leans, passed resolution, nearly
unanimously, changing tho namc from
&" Methodist Church South = TO that Of
Episcopal Methodist Church. This
question, as we'll as that of Lay Rep
rcsentation, has received considerable
attention since the adjournment of the
General Conference. Both questions
were submitted to the district confer
ences, when they should meet. Five
of these bodies have met, and the
change OF name is being adopted by a
three-fourth vote, while the vote for
Lay Representation is nearly unani-
nous.
The adoption of Lay Representation
by the Southern branch of this de-
nomination, will popularize it very
much in the minds Of the people, and
it will also infuse more talent and cir
cumspecton in the ranks of the clergy,
and remove one Of its anti-democratic
features.

Among the other shams and false.
hoods of,ho Republican party is their
assumption OF representing a majority
of tho citizens of the United States.
They have never been anything but a
minority, aud are so TO this very day.
Claiming that the principle Of our
system is the number of noses, not q
written Constitution, they have never
had the noses for them any more than
the facts Of the law. A party which
gets the rcins of power simply through
the State sovereignty principle, and
then terms that principle hcresy,
will naturally enough claim the SUI
premacy of the Constitution over
others, and deny the supremacy over
itself
If a vote OF citizens could have been
taken at any time in The last ten years
4 in the United States, irrespective OF
lStates-thatis, the vote of the people,
not the vote as the vote Of separate
lpeoples--wo should never have heard
Of the martyr lincoln, Or the asserted
assassin Davis,
Take the constitutional amendment
now claimed as panapea. There is
a clear halfmillion majority against it
in the United States il we are one
people ana vote as ctizens of one ma
ton but if we are an1Union, there
are more than two States to one in
favor Of it. Our system Is very
good system il men are honest about
Iit-lf they either take it as it is, and
practice upon that theory, or if they
take it as it is not, and practice upon
that theory; but the juggle and the
swindle Of the. Republican party is
taking it when it suits their purposes
as it is, and when it suits their pur-
poses as it is not.
There is no wonder that the Repub-
lican party rolls up such majorities in
the Eastern States ard is so dear
to Mr.. Raymond, for it is simply a
"Yankee trick" with half continent
for its exhibition and fifteen millions
of citizens Of the United States for its
victims, viz all the Southern States
and all the citizens of the other States
who are not Republicans. 1t took
the nineteenth century to exhibit to
the world the astonishing fact, that in
Democratic America little more than
one-third of the citizens could
violate the Constitution at pleasure,
force a great war, hold power eight
years, and brag all the time about
equality loyalty, patriotism ard that
the roice Of the people Uas the uOice
of Cod World.

The CoTToN TAx.-Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, and number of other Con
sttutional lawyers, have decided that
the three cent per pound tax imposed
on cotton, by late act of Congress,
is unconstitutional. II Congress has
the right to tax cotton growers, they
certainly have the same right to tax
wheat and corn growers. If they do
not possess the right to tax the latter,
they can not otimpose upon the former.

The President, by his proclamation
of the Sth instant, has designated the
last Thursday (29th) of November
next as a day of thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God" A number
Of the Governors have also designated
this day to be observed by the people
Of their respective States.
This will afford a rare opportunity
to those loyal clergymen, who have
for the past five years manifested such
enthusiastic zeal for "the Govern
mcnt," to again offer up their prayers
to Him who rules among the children
Of men, for special aid to assist the
Chief Magistrate in defeating the de-
signs Of wicked men.
In no particular is the hypocrisy Of
modern clergymen so manifest to the
public, as the Withholding of their
prayers for "the Government" since
Andrew Johnson has concluded to ad-
minister the laws according to the
Constitution and his oath.

The treason-mongers, under the
guise ofloyalty and philanthropy have
made gigantic strides towards nation
al ruin. They have not been satisfied
with nearly abrogating the written
Constitution Of the nation, and of the
several States, which they were sworn
to ''protect and defend y but they
have also directly, through numerous
channels, assailed both the lives and
liberties of the people. They have,
however, in their Wild crusade, sue
ceeded in removing the course of sla-
very" as they termed il, and substi-
tuted in its stead the humane process
of starvation and physical death. This
is the legacy these humanitarians have
bequeathed to the negro race in the
South. While they have instituted a
System by which they entail death
and destruction on four millions of
that race, they have not been idle in
reference to the rights and liberties Of
white men. To illustrate this a little
we need only present the facts and
figures in reference to the apportion.
ment Of members of Congress, Sena-
tors and Assemblymen in our own
State-and we know in many other
States the partizan discrimination is
worse than in Pennsylvania
The Democracy of this State, at the
recent election, polled 100000 votes,
while the enemy polled 100000. The
former party elected Sir Congressman
while the latter elected eighteen. The
majority against us was but 1875,
by which our opponents succeed in
electing tpelUe. If29O,000 Democrats
can only elect six members Of Con-
gress, why should 3O7 900 Union-slay-
ers elect eighteen? If we live in a
free country, why has one Abolitionist
as much power in Congress as t,oo
and half Democrats (? Why can
$4,000 John Brownies send a repre-
sentative to Washington, while it
takes 900 Democrats to do the same
thing? Isthis Constitutional liberty |?
or is it slavery in new form. To il
lustrate this still farther we will be-
come more domestic, nearer home.
The next Legislature will be composed
OF tUelue Democrats and tgeRty.one
Opposition in the Senate; and thirty
eight Democrats and sirty-t,oo Opposi-
tion in the House yet the majority
against the Democrats is but 17,135
Is it possible that this meagre major
ity can elect 0 Senators and "a mem
bers ? We are compelled to confess
that, when our laws are administered
by demagogues, our boasted freedom
becomes a mere sham. The minority
has ruled this country for the past
five years as effectually as it does in
Russia, but in far more expensive
manner Under the sway Of this mi
nority, it takes 23,666 white Demo
Gratis 20 elect Senator, and 1900 to
elect an Assemblyman, while it takes
but 1890 loyalsts to elect the form
or, and 1870 the latter. Glorious
equality These are some ofthe out
RACES imposed upon the people, by
those conscientious individuals who
believe and declare so implicitly that
all men are created equal.

AS an illustration OF the manner in
which modern loyalty administers and
controls popular government, we need
but refer to the recent election held in
Baltimore, for mayor and city council
men. The local laws of that city have
been so manipulated during the past
Ave years, by the loyal and heavenly
minded Plug Uglies, Rip Raps, &c,
chat an election amounts to farce
An insignificant, mean, degraded mi.
nority now controls the affairs of that
city. Although Baltimore contains
$4,000 voters, at the late election but
1879 votes were polled-2,574 for the
Conservative candidates, and 5,405 foi
the loyal candidates; thus demonstra.
ting that, although tho city contains
$4,000 voters, less than sir thousand
control its affairs; and they are the
men who formerly shouted themselves
hoarse over "free speech" "frec press

The returns of the late election
show that the light of Democracy, in
some Of the darkest sections of the
State, begins to illuminate the hori-
zon. The Judicial District composed
of Clarion, Jefferson, Mercer and We
mango, was last winter cut in two, by
the Disunion Legislature, for the pur-
pose of electing another loyaIist Judge;
but their scheme failed. The new
district, Mercer and Venango, has just
elected John Turnkey, of Mercer, an
uncompromising Democrat, Judge, by
nearly LOO majority. The Democ-
racy in Lycoming, Union and Snyder
have elected Capt. Charles d. Roush
to the Legislature, from that benight-
cd district. In 1864, Lincoln's major.
ity in the State exceeded 10000, and
last year Hartranft, the Disunion
nominee for Auditor General, carried
the State by 22,6GO majority, while at
the late election the hero Of Smokers.
vile has carried it by about 1900.
