oulk OF these immigrants, who are mostly from
the Southern States, are in the neiehborhood
of Orizaba in a destitute condition.
We have repeatedly advised our Southern
friends TO stay at home and develop the re-
sources of their own fertile and magnificent
country, aud warned them against lending too
ready an ear to the seductive promises OF the
colonization agents. 1t was evident, TO those
who knew anything oil Mexican affairs, that
Maximtllans Government was In no condition
to furnish transportation to the colonists, much
less to advance them the capital necessary to
establish themselves in business. And when we
have seen, as we often have, promising young
men investing their last dollar in purchasing
transportation TO Vera Cruz firmly persuaded
that, on their arrival at their destination, their
expenses would be reimbursed, that land would
be granted them, and that sufficient capital
would be advanced to them to enable them to
commence operations with a fair chance of
success, we could not repress a sigh of regret
over energies misapplied and hopes destined to
prove lllusOry.
1t would be foreign to our present purpose to
discuss the question as to who is responsible for
the Misrepresentation of which these people
have been made the victims. Whether the
fault lies with the authorized agents OF Maxi
milan, or with outside Seeculators who daZzled
the Imagination of these Colonsts with promises
as deluslve as they were splendid, is practically
unimpoItant What we desire is TO warn the
Southern people against needless emigration to
Mexico. FOR those that are there we feel the
liveliest sympathy. Strangers in a strange land,
disliked by one party, and dIstrustcd by the
other, without resources, IGNORANT, generally,
Of the language OF the country, and exposed to
the deadly diseases which scourge the coast
during the summer and fall their position
would seem to be desperate far more desperate
than it could by any possibility be at home.
There they were at least surrounded by
friends, and there was always the chance that
energy and patient industry might retrieve
their shattered fortunes. The toll they would
have to undergo in Mexico would prove more
surely remunerative at home, and they would
be cheered and encouraged by the sympathy of
their kinsmen, their friends, and their neigh
boTs. The noble hearted Hampton gave ex-
celIent advice TO his people when he urged them
10 stand by their homes and their State, and
we earnestly commend his wise and patriouc
counsel TO the consideration of those who con-
template emigration to Mexico. 1t is eminently
a case in which it is

The Arrogance and Presumption OF the
Fenian Leaders.


From the Times.
II anything were wanting to justify the pro
clamation of the President for the arrest and
suppression of the Irish raid upon Canada, it
would be found in the Court and Cooper Insti
tute proceedings of last Thursday. Here we
have party, in the very heart of the great city
of New York, defying our laws, refusing to sub
NIT to the proceedings of the Federal judiciary
to punish their "Head Centres" and haranguing
their ignorant and infatuated followers at the
Cooper Institute, where the very name OF the
President is Missed and the performance of his
highest official duty openly denounced as the
work of "a dirty tool of the British Govern

he ADDED, 81 take his place." He then con.
tinued:-

II is difficult to comment with patience upon
81 superlatlve specimens of assurance, accus.
toned as we have long been, tn this city, to thai
quality, and from the same quarter-in the
shape OF clustering, bullying and burning. The
anlmus OF the July riots appear in every line OF
the above extracts. The spirit that demands the
right 10 involve this country in the wild and
WlCked raids OF Irish Fenianism; TO openly vio-
late Its neutrality and defy IT'S laws, Is only
equailed by the insults heaped directly and per-
sonally upon the President OF the United States
and Though his administrator upon our whole
people. These things may possibly be endured
ior season longer, but II they ore not in the
sequel Indignantly resented Ly our own country

Mr.. Roberts forsooth cannot give bail for his
good behavior to the United States of America,
because he has O higher "duty as an Irshman"
IN the open violation of our neutrality laws,
and the impudent and notorious abuse of our
hospitality. Mr.. Gibbons goes beyond this, and
claims the right to cali President Johnson "a

mention of the Presidents name mad been re-

Negro Sufrage.

The Copperhead managers are trying
their best to win over Republicans to their
reasonable cause by keeping up a continual
cry of Nigger!- Nigger!-but it
won't do. Republicans may differ on the
question of negro suffrage, but they all
know that it is not now an issue in this
State. The Union Republican State Cen
tral Committee in an address just issued,
meet this question fairly and squarely when
they say;
''The Constitution of Pennsylvania per-
mits only white men to vote. By its terms
it can be amended only once in every FIVE
years, and having been amended in 1864.
allowing the Soldiers the right to vote, it
cannot, in conformity with its own provi-
sions be amended again until 1869. 1t is
hoped, therefore, our Democratic friends
will restrain themselves, and not press ne
gro suffrage upon us before authorized by
the Constitution of the State "
When the Republican party adopts negro
suffrage in their platform they will let the
people know it. In the meantime the Cop
perhead charge that it is an issue in this
campaign is an insult to the intelligence of
the people of this State

Our Congressional Candidate.


We this week place at the head of our
columns the name of Hon. GLENN w.
SCoFIELD, as the nominee of the Union Re
publican party, for Congress in the 10th
district. Mr.. Scofeld was re-nominated by
reclamation in the Convention at Ridgway,
on Wednesday, September 5th, and that he
will be triumphantly reelected there is no
doubt. The Warren Mail in noticing the
denomination of Mr.. Scofeld, says:
I'VE have only time now to say that this
is well-done tribute to Representative
whom we can trust Having seen him at
his labors almost daily during the most try
ing session of any Congress, we know that
no ian labored more faithfully, earnestly or
successfully in the line of duty than he did.
We have thought his reelection the very
best possible rebuke of iaithless Execu-
tive, and the best possible guaranty that
our people are determined to fight the bat
tie with rebellion all the way out to final
victory at every hazard and any cost Now
is not the time to surrender. Justice to the
North aud justice to the South alike, should
and must be meted out, by the people of a
redeemed Republic

A Contrast,

The Carlisle Herald says that ''Postmas-
ter Zinn, for the sake of retaining his pet
ty Office, appeared before meeting of the
Clymer Club in the Court House in that
borough, and made remuneration of his
former faith.
The Chambersburg Repository, on the
other hand, contains a card of Postmaster
John W. Deal, of that place, from which
it seems he was asked to contribute money
to the Cewan- Randall movement, but he
positively refused to do so, and declared
himself in favor of Gen. Geary and the
whole Union ticket.
Here, one man sacrifices principles and
manhood for the sake of a petty post office
while the other retains his manhood and
independenceedespite the emoluments of a
better position. Which of the two has the
most honor? And which of them will COM
mand the respect of political friends, and of
political opponents? We. opine there will
be no difficulty in deciding these questions.

Revolution Again Threatened.
Montgomery Blair has been speaking

Montgomery Blair has been speaking in
Maine. In speech in Portland. on the
25th August, he is reported by the papers
as saying
That the breaking up of Government
by denying representation TO ten OF the
States of the Union leads as certainly to
war as secession itself; that 1t was only an
other form of secession, and, if continued,
would inevitably produce civil war at the
North He advised his hearers to concen-
trate all their energies on the election of
Representative He said the Radicals now
had I20 members out Of 240, the number
when all the States were represented; that
they could not get that number again; that
if the johnson party would rally TO the sup
port of conservative principles 1t would,
with the aid of the Representatives of the
Southern States, control majority of Con-
gress But, he said, the Radicals will not
admit these members from the South. They
will then Join with the Northern Democrats
and set up by themselves as the true Con
gress, and the President will recognize them
as the true Congress of the United States.
The Rump will then impeach the President
and elect another. We shall then have two
Presidents and two Congresses, and this in
sures civil war in every town and county
throughout the North, while the South will
be a unit on the question. The only way to
avoid bloodshed is to accede to the demands
of the South and support the policy of the
President. IF the course of the Radicals
was not checked, if they were permitted to
carry out their policy, the streets of Port
land Would run with blood, and devasta-
ton, to which that of the South was nothing,
would overwhem the entire North. -
