The Negro above the Mechanic.
oP BERKs COUNTY

"But there is still another class for
"whom no one has ye. spoken on this
"foor, who have contributed TO your
"success not less than the soldier or
"thc creditor, / WAS ALMOST ABOUT TO
"sAY, NOT LESS THAN THE FREEDMEN,
81 MEAN THE MECHANICS OF THE couN-
rRY."-(Senator Sumner in the q. 5.
Senate, April l8, 1866. See Congress
nonal Globe.)
The soldier the creditor, and the
white mechanic of America have in
the estimation of Senator Sumner,
borne equal burthcns in the salvation
of the nation. lie ''was almost about
to say" that the freedman was equal
with each, but he fails to enunciatc
the sentiment, and we fairly infer
that in his opinion the sacrifices and
privations Of the former surpass those
OF all others. This is the deliberate
language Of the Senator, in studied
attempt to hatter and praise the me-
chanic. 1t was called out during the
discussion upon bill for the relief OF
certain naval contractors, in which
the theme chosen for his elaboration,
was the value Of the American me-
chanic in the recent civil struggle.
Ho believes the Negro is equal to any
white man, and here he expresses his
conviction that his services are great
er than those of the men who bore the
brunt of the fight for the Union. The
Negro above the mechanic, the Negro
the equal of all white men, the Negro
entitled to vote, to sit on juiics, to
travel with us, to eat with us, to sleep
with us, to cnjoy every social and po-
litical right that we enjoy, are the
Alpha and Omega ofhis daily thoughts,
they are the prominent traits Of the
Negro-loving disunionists. White men
protect yourselves by your ballots.

harpmg on the necessity ofdcmanding

B. Tancy as one who should cxpiatc

race in very warm place, Gen. Geary
thought it in bad taste
The speech alluded TO has been ex-
tensively published, extracted and
commented upon. 1t was grossly
treasonable to the Union throughout;
contained the most arrogant demands
for negro "rights ts"-includn negro
suffrage and equality; and was an nm

be kept out OF the Union until they
should make voters of the negroes and

CONSISTENT In DISUNIUN.-- In CUu-
grcss on the Sd day of March, 1862,
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, Democrat
offered the following resolution;
Resolred, That in the judgment of
this House, the unfortunate civil War
into which the Government Of the
United States has been forced by the
treasonable attempt of the Southern
Secessionists to destroy the Union,
should not be prosecuted for any other
purpose thnn the restoration Of the
authority OF the Constitution; and
that the welfare of the whole people
of tho United States is permanently
involved in maintaining the present
form of government under the
Constitution without modification or
change"
The disunionists defeated this res
olution by vote of 60 to SO. Every
Democrat voted for the resolution.
Thaddeus Stevens and Mr.. Speaker
Grow, by this bold act avowed their
deliberate intention as carly as 1862,
to carry out their radical and revolu-
tionary programme of disunion.-

future, is going to save all the waste
paper and cancelled bonds and vouch-

for government use, by which the de-
partments expect to save $4,000
annually. This is something, but
while tho authorities scatter money
by the 100000 ncedlessly, $4,000
would not last long. Last week Con-

number ever confined there before at
one time, from three to six each at
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago,
two men were hung in the adjoining
county of Cambria last week, eight
persons were murdered in Philadel-
phia a few weeks ago, and suicides are
being committed almost daily, through
out the country, while robberies and
burglancs are being perpctrated in
every community, and this too after
the country has been governed, for
the past five years, by party "con-
troled by grand moral IDEAS" Either
the teachers or morals must have been
of the bad sort, to produce this carni-
val of blood and outrage.
