ty, tells Of a negro woman of that re-
gion leading her people to idol-dances,

Rev. DIR. Marshall, Of Mississippi, says
hundreds of negroes n that State have
adopted what they call the New Re
ligion. They teach that God is dead,
and that the Savior has been superse-
ded by two old negro women, whom
they worship in His stead"
We know of some preachers in this
region that act as if"God asdead and
the Savior superseded by an ebony
eolored idol, "whom they worship in
His stead" Some of them may be
seen at all the large gatherings of the
Jacobin party cheering, laughing and
stamping in approval ofthe grossest
profanity, black guardism and false
hoods of drunken ard debauched speak

In Malta, last Friday evening, the
Democratic meeting was frequently
disturbed by the outrageous conduct of
drunken rowdies-put forward and
countcnanced by some men claiming
to be respectable, and would like for
their neighbours TO think them pat
terms of morality and possessing all the
christian virtues. In this rowdy dem
o%nstration, a preacher was to be seer
greatly enjoying, and seemed TO act as
though the demonstrations and rowdy
conduct ofhis friends was all right
For the present we will not mention
the names of these drunken rowdics
and their aiders and abcttors, but
hereafter, their homes in full will ap.
pear in print with appropriate remarks

Speaking Out In Meeting-Thc
Radical Doctrine Boldly Pro-

The Hon. John Hickman, n leading
Radical of Pennsylvania, has taken the
stump in favor of the political and So
cial equality of the negro. He made a
speech last week Mt West Chester to an
audience of blacks, in the course Of
which he uttered the following senti-
ments:
~ am in favor of giving equal and
impartial suffrage to the negro, be-
cause he is entitled to it, and because |

that Justice must be done to all men,

warning.

Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, in
a speech at Indianapolis. recently
spoke with great bitterness Of the
soldiers. who met in convention in
Cleveland, and threatened them in this
way:
"He would say to the Gordon
Changers and Clusters, who had sold
themselves for unmerited promotions.
that they may find a Senate which will

We rather suspect that there is too
much pluck among the soldiers who
met at Cleveland TO be scared by any
threat.

The New York Evening Post, a
leading Republican paper, says that
the party controlled by such men as
Thad, Stevens, Sumner, Greeley 4 Co.
ought not to live. Here is its Ian
guage:
with a laundering and chaotic
policy such as that imposed upon it by
Messrs. Morrill,, Stevens, Summer, and
the Tribune; a policy which seeks 10
do everything through the Government
and leave nothing to private ingenuity
wisdom and effort; which declares the
President to be a traitor, and in the
same breath quadruples his powers;
which declares he contemplates usur-
patton, and insists on a course which
alone makes such crime legal-with
such a policy the Republican party can
not hive, AND OUGHT NOT To
LIVE. IT'S SUCCESS WOULD BE
A CALAMITY TO THE COUNTRY"
The Radical party has been govern
ed by just such men, and, if IL is sue
%cessful in the approaching election, It
will be entirely under their control.
Wherever members ofthe present Con-
gress have been set aside by the Radi-
cal constituents, IL was done that men
of stronger Radical tendencies should
take their places. Should the candi-
dates now supported by the Radicals
compose a majority ofthenextC Congress,
the calamity to the country feared by
the Post will be fully realized.

snIdiers, Re-Union.

Tho so-called "SoldIors' Re-Union"
meeting held in this place last Friday
was a failure a fizzle. There was some
considerable display of borrowed flags,
banners, &c. Take out the people of
M'Connelsville and Malta in town on
that occasion, and there was not over
three hundred voters present. The
long array of speakers advertised to
address the people, failed to come to
time. Disappointment and despair was
strongly depicted upon the countenance
Of every n of the faithful. Bad
liquor flowed profusely, and the night
season was made hideous by the Bac-
chanalian orgies of all the decency
party. uH
Those present in the grove were in
tc~leetually entertained by a slang
whanging scallawag, by the name of
Stinchecomb. He abused, villi6ed and
slandered President Johnson and the
Democratic and Conservative party.
He was the only speaker that was in
the least interesting and entertaining,
If abuse, &c, can thus be called.
In the evening a Mr.. Stafford, late Il
Col. ola Niger Regiment, made the
wool fly, to al appreciative audience
in front of the courthouse, as far as he
could be heard-thc noise and confus-
ion was great, he went the whole figure
for negro suffrage and equality. The
orator had besn in the black army, he
had commanded black troops, ho had
cat, slept and smelt the niggcr, and he
therefore spoke from experience; that
the negro, was as good as the white
man, in every accomplishment, virtue
and physical and mental organization.
THIS speech wal a little more than
some of the Radicals bargained for,
He was rather too PLAN spoken in
favor of negro equality, to suit some of
the more fastidious and cautions of the
party and was by his own party litter
ly hooted down, and compelled to sus-
pend his remarks. o
