perfectly, even 70 its most subtle refinement
of drawing, However, the Bunglebgtt family
perceive in 'the left-hand eyen of their great
papa-the real live eye--onlY "a stern express
sion of deep meditation, combined with a pro-
fundity of philosophical thought" Upon that
Bunglebutt cuticizes, in three pages of closely
written notepaper of the largest size, the refine

calls "the lett hand eye;p all of which I'M

After doing all this, there are more journeys TO
the steel and copper-plate printer, and more
finished proofs TO be submitted, to be followed
by more criticisms: for the Buuglebutt family
think great deal of the 'profundity of philo-
sophICal thought" which they perceive in that
parental 'lett hand eye," most evil eye to
Pickpeck. But all this monstrous long time the
painting public are clamorlng with frenzy for
the twenty-second and much-augmented edI-

Consequently, finished proof has to be sub

finished proof which, although the Bunglebutt
family still think the eneraver has not quite
entered into all the depths of expression TO be
observed in "the left.hand eye," is happily nc.

admit the engraving to be very nice engraving,

The State Banks.

1t seems very probable that before long
the notes of the State Banks viii go out of
circulation. The act of Congress of March
3directs thatthey shall be taxed ten percent
if in circulation after the first of July next
1t is, therefore, necessary that they should be
redeemed before that time, and the nation
alhanks, which must suffer the tax if they
hold the notes at the date mentioned, are
relieving themselves of their liability by
throwing out the State hank notes, or by re-
ceiviBg them at small discount sufficient to
pay for the cost cf sending them home for
redemption. This action viii soon hurry
them out of sight, and there win be no cur
rency IN circulation but greenbaeks and the
notes of the national banks.
In view of the above, We advise all our
friends to get clear Of State bank issues as
rapidly as possible ;fby payingStheir debts.

selves to be caught mapping, and thereby
lose 10 cents on each dollar.

Democracy of Columbia, are we
Organized !?

The Importance of the great political con-
test upon which we have entered cannot be
oyerestimated. We are not only calledupon
to elect Governor of this State, which, OF
itself, is all-important to the interests OF the
State, but other important yacancies are TO
be filed. ess
There are twenty-four members OF the
National Congress to be chosen, there are
eleven new members of the State Senate to
he elected. and an entire new House of Rep
resentatives. These latter, at all times OF
vast moment to the prosperity of the Com
monwealtb, have peculiar value to the peo-
ple at this time. The two branches OF the
Legislature have at their next session the
election of one United States Senator to fill
the position now occupied by Hon Edgar A.
Cowan. 1t is important that supporter of
the present Presidential policy, not only in
the interest Of wholesome legislation, but
for the safety Of he nation itself, beelected-
1t is too plainly apparent that the radicals
intend, If they cannotrule this Government,
to complete its subYersion. BIO adf
There are, also, important local officers to
be chosen In our county; Prothonotary
and Clerk of the Courts, Register and
Recorder, two Associate Judges, one County
Commissioner, and one Auditor. Tothese
J positions, of course, Democrats viii be chosen;
! but, at the same time, let us see that none
Z but true, reliable, and staunch Democrats
are placed in these positions.
Let us not lose the victory by over-conf-
dence in men who aspire to these positions
without some guarantee that they viii con-
tinue to maintain and support Democratic
principles and measures, and not at any
time or place give aid and couutenance to a
plot or project which has Hr its sole object
the destruction Of the great Democratic
party. This is matter to be looked after
before our nominations
In view, then, of the significance of the
struggle and labor to be eperformed through
out the State, are we organized? Are our
people 50 thoroughly awake as to act wisely,
vigorously, and IN unison? IF it is impor-
tant to lessen taxation, to reduce the expen-
ditures Of the Government, and thus i'm
prove its financial condition, if it is impor-
tant that this Government be not ruled by
the worst men whom the clemency of Om-
impotence has spared to exist, the Democra-
cy must be organized more perfectly, and
labor more unitedly and vigorously than ever
In the past. This is no time for Indifference
or inaction. Why viii not our children
merit as good Government as we have en-
joyed? IF we would transmit it to them
unimpaired, we must fight its assailants, we
must organize.

FelloH-D Democrats Do you remember
how a few years ago, Military necessity =

Of Provost Marshal, Lieutenant the
President is the Government, " Union"
and the like, over-rode Constitutions; tram
pied Individual rights and personal liberty

night, and submitted them to the most hu-
initiating taunts and virulent abuse, and even
incarcerated them in gloomy dungeons, be-
cause they possessed the honesty and man.
illness to say that they differed with the adj
ministration? Do you remember how short
a time since the sounding. OF one OF the
above titles was sufficient authority for ar
resting and imprisoning Democrats For
mobbing printing offices, for bridling the
press, for smothering free speech and indi-
vidual opinion. for closing the mouths of
the people and even then for executing pun
ishment upon them as traitors for their 81
lencc Do you remember that it is but
little more than one year since the man who
became the object of suspicion by Lincoln
officers was treated as the worst of criminals
or demons and made to suffer all the vio-
lence and consequences of an infuriated mob?
Who can forget the day when certain emf
nently loyal people declared that every
man who opposed the President ought to
be hung2" men who said it was treason"
to point to the abuse which had been piled
upon former Democratic administrations !?
Who can forget the bitterness which char
acterized the leading Republicans of this
county in their. indignation meetings." in

speeches, in our Courts, in the streets, in
the hotels, and in every social and business
intercourse whatever; men who delighted
in calling Democrats TRAITORS ''Southern

and boasted that they knew all about it, that
they were the means of, and responsible for,
the welding of the rod of iron, with an I'M

backs of Democrats in this county? Friends

of the Constitution, Friends of the Union,
Friends of the Republic, of law and order,

united and glide merrily along.

APPROACH OF THE CHOLERA The steam
er England from Liverpool to New York put
into Halifax for medical assistance having
on board one hundred and sixty cases of
Cholera. Forty of the passengers had died
of that dread disease during the voyage.
The vessel was not allowed to proceed on her
voyage but ordered into quarantine. 1t is
altogether probable that the Cholera will
pervade through the United States during
the coming summer, and it behooves people
to make every necessary preparation for it

The Radicals are not altogether pleased
with the nomination of General Geary for
Governor. They declare that they are not
willing to support renegade Democrats any
longer, having given Andrew johnson their
suffrage for President, and become so com
pletely Tylerized they are unwilling to place
their feet in any more such traps. Another
Convention has been talked of in different
quarters for the purpose of taking up rad
ical, or In other words, man who desires
more blood and has always been an ardent
Republican. Had the Disunion Convention
which met at Harrisburg on the 7th of
March, nominated Hon. w. w. Ketchum,
of Luzerne, we would have heard nothing
of this second Convention movement. Mr..
K. was decidedly the best man named before
that Convention. He may be thankful that
he Is not the nominee; as he will not be
subjected to defeat, which he most surely
would have been, had he been placed on the
ticket. For Gen. Geary, there is not
shadow of chance for his election; he has
not one single genuine merit to entitle him
to our suffrage, and is doomed to signal
defeat.

B@. We are aware that the enemies of
Democracy are sowing the seeds of discord
and contention; but let the friends of the
party frown down all such evil efforts We
ask to be Judged by our own acts and words,
and casting aside all prejudice or personal
interest we shall, in the future, as in the
past, labor, as we believe, for the good of
the whole country and the advantage of the
great Democratic party. We know that ito
err is human and at times it may be our
misfortune, but remember, friends, that it
will be mistake of the head and not of the
heart.

THE INTEREST Built was our impress
sion that this bill had passed both branches
of the Legislature, at its last session, and
became law, making per cent the legal
rate of interest in this State; but upon ex-
amining the Record more closely we notice
that the bill fell in the Senate. This bill
was at first defeated in the House by ma
jority of seven, but afterwards the vote was
reconsidered, and the bill passed. The bill
allowing Banks to charge per cent inter
est on discounts was also defeated in the
Senate. The legal rate of interest still re-
mains at per cent, which to us seems am
ply sufficient. Those having money to loan
may not agree with US on this point, but
nevertheless we would not consent that they
should receive over per cent. That is our
record. 9ef

STEP BY STFP-'The Iowa Legislature
has passed joint resolution amending their
State Constitution so as to extend the right
of suffrage TO the negroes. The Supreme
Court of Wisconsin has stretched an old law
so as to allow every woolly head to vote. In

voted for the first time, havin been but re-
Gently admitted to the right Of suffrage So

negro suffrage and negro equality, without
which the disunionists in Congress declare
they viii never allow the Union to be res

MIA have the audacity to declare that negro
suffrage is not an issue before the people.
Such liars would shame Tom Pepper.

MURDER AT BRADESBURG, KY.-We
have learned, says the Louisville Democrat,
of an unfortunate occurrence, in which Allen
Stanfeld was killed by his own brother,
Kendrick Stanfeld The difficulty occurred
in Brandenburg on Eiday afternoon. Itap-
pears, from what our informant was able to
learn, that there was an old feud between
the two brothers, who were partners in a
blacksmith shop in that place Friday evea
ming they met at the shop for the purpose of
having a settlement and closing the partner
ship One word brought on another, until
the parties became greatly enraged at each
other; upon the lie being given, Allen drew
his pistol, which was no sooner done than
Kendrick seized a slelge hammer, and with
one blow Knocked his brother scnseless to
the ground. He then seized the pistol which
his brother had drawn upon him and shot
him through the body, which shot caused
almost instant death.

The SPIRIT OF THE DARK AGES Pre-
vAILs.-The cry of the Disunionists of the
North IS to-day, as ever, against the men
who are earnestly and faithfully laboring to
restore and preserve our form of Govern
ment. President johnson, Senator Cowan,
VIM III. Seward, who, in performing their
sworn, official duties, are compelled to take
stand on the side of Democracy, now hear,
from the Northern traitors, the cry of '.cru-
city theml' ''crucify them!" We still see
in those Northern Radicals, the same spirit
of persecution that prevailed in the days of
the Roman Empire, same spirit that
cruciied Christ, that burnt John Rogers
at the stake,-that manifested itself in loud
hosannas around the shrieking victims at
Smithfeld, that prosecuted Gallileo, be-
cause they ventured to declare sacred and
important truths, truths which, then as
now, would dethfone tyrants and impostors.
