The Presidents Advisers.

1he. present President of the United
States is more fortunate than any of hi,
predecessors in the number of his advisers.
and numbering them not only among his
political friends, but among his political
opponents. This is right, and in the true
spirit OF representative government The
President Is the representative, for the
time being, of the whole people of the en-
tire Union, endowed with certain functions
defined by the Constitution, to be exercised
for the general good of all. His being
also the representative head of party,
which any President must be, does not
deprive him of that higher position, when
placed In the executive chair, being the
representative head of the nation. In
that capacity all have an equal right to
his attention, whether they are political
friends or political opponents Political
enemies, we do not regard as an appropri-
ate term in q free Republican government.
1t is the mere doing of demagogues. We
observe at this time in our exchanges a
great disposition, very commendable. we
think, on the part of our political oppo-
nents to give good advice to the President
and also to the people of the South. In
general, it is certainly proper to encourage
amendment, either in man or a people.
but there is political thing going about
the country just now under the name
amendment which is only an amend
ment in name. Certainly it is not an
improvement upon the established forms of
representative government as arranged in
the present Constitution of the United
States. Nevertheless many of the leading
editors of the Radical party strongly ad-
wise the President TO change his views re-
specting this same amendment, and they
also advise the Southern people to change
their views and accept it. This is all le-
sitimate and the President is fortunate
indeed. In the multitude of counsel there
is wisdom. And if wisdom should be a
thing determined by majorities, it might
be the part of wisdom for every Democrat
when defeated at the polls, to repudiate
every principle he had ever advocated and
adopt those principles against which he
had been contendins. But wisdom is not
regulated by majorlties, although the poll
tlcai action OF our people is. We think
that the President and the people of the
South ought to weigh we'll the advice of
their political opponents as representing
part of the whole people-and every con-
sidera:e part; and if they find anything
good therein, follow it by all means.
At the same time it is no more than
natural that the President and the people
OF the South, and of the North too, should
also pay some attention to the advice of
those friends who agree with them upon
the general principles of government in
this country. These political friends do
not happen to believe that it is good for
our people to add more power to the Con-
gress branch Of the Government therefore
their advice is let that Amendment slide,
for the present-give the people little
more time to think it over.

TIE CHICAGO TINES Under the start
ling caption of ''the Democracy of Illinois,
they favor universal suffrage" telegram
arrived here yesterday afternoon from
Washington city, which runs as follows :
"WAsHINGroN, November 13.-One of
the morning papers here has special tel
gram from Chicago, announcing that the
Democracy of the State have declared for
universal suffrage through their principal
organ, and call upon all their adherents in
the late elections to organize under their
new banner"
The ''principal organ" alluded to, is
the Chicago Times that it speaks the sem
timents of the Democratic party of that
State, which until 1860 never cast any
other but Democratic electoral vote we
DO not believe, but it now lies PROSTATE
because of the teaching of the Chicago
Times That paper, during the war was
all the time opposed to its prosecution; it
was in fact pro-Southern in everything.
Now, like Ben. Butler and all other
| insincere trimmers, it suddenly espouses
| the extreme doctrines of the extreme Rad
cals.-PoSt.

GEORGIA AND THE AMENDMENT
Georgia has acted, and acted right. She
has acted precisely as any sensible North
ern State would act under analogous cir
cumstances, supposing the Southwestern
States TO have the power now held by the
the Northern States.
Men have but to reflect, and put them
selves as it were in the place of their fellow
men in the South, and reason calmly, and
they will see that this action of Georgia is
right. The millions in the North
amounting to nearly half of all the people
of the North who have endeavored to stay
the hand of undignified and cowardly
oppression, inaugurated by the present
Radical majority in Congress, are entitled
to this action on the part of their brethren
in the South. The noble stand made in
Pennsylvania and New York, by the
friends of law and order, and of true and
honorable Union, now know that they did
not underratc the good sense of the people
OF Georgia. That the people whom they
wish to unite with them in the bonds of
brotherly love are worthy of the effort
that has been made worthy Of the Union
that will yet be formed.
Patience, and firm adherence to RIGHT.
and determination to remain peaceably
out OF the Union till she can enter it with
honor, is what is left for Georgia. Honor
10 her for the consistency of her conduct.

pugilist to Congress, whereat the radical
organs set up a prolonged howl. We

NEGRO EQUALIrT.-In Massachusetts
three negroes have been elected to the
Legislature. One of these colored gentle
men, we learn, secured the nomination
from his brother Republican in opposition
to one of the ablest lawyers in Boston.
We must confess we rather admire the
consistency of the Massachusetts Republi-
cans in carrying their doctrines out prac-
tically.
Why can't our Republican friends who
are doing all in their power to bring about
like results in this State say SD plainly
The principles Of their party are the same
in Massachusetts as here. But while in
this State only few Radicals admit that
the negro suffrage doctrine enters into their
plans, there and in Vermont there can be
no reconstruction until negro suffrage is
granted. Here negro equality is denounced
or ridiculed there negroes arc selected as
representatives of the party for law ma
kers. The Yankee Radical by his consis-
tent acts convicts the Pennsylvania Re-
publican of falsehood in his inconsistent
words.

A NIGER CoNTEsr.-A few days since
squad of negroes were at work on the
streets of Bellefonte, while white men were
denied employment. A correspondent
from Port Matilda, sends the following
particulars with reference to this case

a contract of laying waterpipes. There
were many bidders, and among them a
negro and a white ,counded soldier. Their
bids were about the same, the white
soldiers being fraction less than the
negro's, but the black man got the contract,
and at this hour has twenty-five or thirty
negroes at work in the'streets of BelIefonte,
while white men are looking on without
employment.

Negroes Coming.

Gen. Howard, Of the freedmen's
bureau. has addressed letter to colored
clergymen seeking their cooperation in
trying to get md OF some of the surplus
freedmen in Washington city, who must
be sent away or supported by the govern
ment during the winter Gen. Howard
says that already about 5000 colored
people have secured employment else
where, that this class of the population
yet numbers $4,000, of whom not more
than 5000 can be provided with work,
leaving 900 who ought to 60 away. He
proposes to send them chiefly to Pennsyl-
vania, New York and New England
Here is fine chance for our Radical
friends to supply themselvs with sscolored
brethern." We should be disposed TO
beg New England to take .he whole of
them, if we did not fear that Thaddeus
Stevens supporters in Lancaster county
would be offended with us for doing So
But how are Mr.. Stevens supporters to
divide these negroes among them There
are fourteen thousand Stevens men in the
county, whilst Gen. Howard has only
seven thousand negroes TO send away.
Each Stevens man will doubtless be anx-
ious to secure at least one colored brother.
But as there is only one colored brother
for every two Stevens men, we fear there
Will be seven thousand fierce quarrels for
the seven thousand colored men. Mr..
Stevens will be distracted by the conflict
ing claims of his squabbling friends, who
will appeal to him. Let him take les
son from Solomon, whose reputation for
wisdom has come down to the present
day and is not eclipsed by that of any
Radical Congressman whose name we are
acquainted with. When two of his friends
lay claim TO the same colored man, let
him direct the living negro to be divided
and each of his two friends to have the
half. Then let him observe closely which
of the two sheds the biggest tears and the
most of them, and TO that one let him give
the niger.

THE SEASON OF SToRMS.-The blasts
of Autumn and the chill storms of ear
ly winter are apt to make sad inroads
upon the constitutions of the feeble. In old
times at the commencement of every season
was the fashion to take strong cathaItic
as a safeguard against change of tempera-
ture. 1t was worse than useless practice.
The people of our Cay understand the mat
ter better. Instead of depicting the system
they reinforce il. In the methcd they adopt
they exhibit wise discrimination. Instead
of resorting to the vitiated stimulants of
commerce, or any of the CONF pounds derived
from them, they put their faith in the only
absolutely pure invigorant procurable in the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES STOMACH BIT
TIERS. Their faith is we'll founded. Never
has any tonic medicine been prepared with
such scrupulous precision and conscientious
care. 1t is vegetable compound of which
every ingredient is sound, wholesome. and
medicinal in the true sense of the word.
Now we have three prominent national COM
plants. One-half of the adult population of
the United States suffer more or less, either
from diseases of the stomach. arrangements
of the liver, or affections of the kidneys.
In no other land under the Heaven are these
maladies so general as in this country, and
HosrETrER's BITTERs is specific for them
all, unless organic in their origin, and. there
fore. beyond cure. And let those who are
fortunate enough to be exempt from them
at present understand one great fact. viz ::
that an occasional use of this vitaliziue tonic
will as certainly prevent them as the sur.
will prevent the earth from freezing where
its genial beams descend Qmssuss: "a t.,1
