Address Of the Democratic state Central
Committee

DEMocR ATTIC STATE COMMITTEE Rooms, }
HARRIsRURG, Feb. 9, 1856.
To the Democracy of Pennsylvania.
The events Of the last political canvas
are yet fresh i'll your minds.
You announced your unequivocal en-
dorsement Of the restoration policy of Pre-
sident Johnson. and denounced the doctrine
of negro suffrage.
Your opponents affirmed their support
of the President, and cvaied the issue upon
the question Of sufliage.
A powerful organization, large official
patronage and az unscrupulous use ofmon
ey, secured to them the victory.
The record of the past month strips the
mask from tie face of the victors.
They treat with deriSion the declared
policy of tie Pre>idept. They have plac-
ed the Government of the Constitution III
abeyaucc, ard lis Legislative and Executive
functions are usurpcd by a cabal Of men,
VINO IN 0oeu'ence 10 CAUCUS, govern lux
nation tIroug!, the forms of drt ctOry.
The right of each State to regnlat" the
qualifications Of its ell, ctors is denied; the
will OF the people Of the District of Column
bia is overridden, ard bv an almost unani-
nous vote. The Republican party in Con-
grcss and the State l., gislature according
to the negro eqGal political rights with the
white mau.
The initial step toward a war of races
ilas been taken, ard consolidated govern
ment looms up in the distance.
The tenetS of the President upon these
points are our cardinal doctrines. In sus-
tanning him we vindicate them.
Organize in every nook aud corner OF
the Commonwealth.
Organize to sustain the President, to
maintain your principles, to restore the
Union to Wind cate the supremacy ofyour
race, to bury in oblivion the men who have
been false to the Union false to their pledg-
es, false to the instincts of their blood, and
true alone to the madness that rules the
honr. BY order of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
WILIIAa a. WALLALR,
Chairman.

didate for Vice President, on he Doug

Ga A law imposing tax of one Per
cent on Bank stock; and threefourths of
one per cent on railway and canal receipts,
has passed both houses of the State Legis-
lature,' and will doubtless be approved by
the Governor. This law will go into effect
in 1867, when the state tax on real estate
will be removed.

deuses the negro equality question into a

tire social and political equality, can con-
sistently vote'the Republican ticket in sny
coming election No one can any longer
deny that the Republican party 10 fully
committed to negro equality"

Gen, Sherman VS.. the Jac0bins,

Gen. Sherman is as hopeful in peace as
he was faithful in war. At Detroit, he
just expressed the belief that he would
never again be called upon to lead an
American army in battle. We had no
wish to interfere with other nations, and
they would not dare attack u.s. He said
further:
"Our national affairs will be shortly re-
stored to safe and permanent basis.-
Congress, when it has finished a certain
amount of tak-as all popular assemblies
must-will speedily settle all questions
[Applanse. A year ago you were anx-
ious for the army which had the honor
to command 1t had disappeared from
your sight You heard nothing from it,
and knew not where it was nor where it
was going Exercise equal faith now, and
matters will come out as well. Cheers |
| know the man at the head Of affairs at
Washington, and all we have to do is to
trust him, [applause,l and give him our
earnest and hearty support. Applause.
We certainly have bright and prosper
Gus future before us.
Per contra to these well-expressed views
of the President from brave and intelli-
gent officer, VIC read almost daily in such
Radical journals as the Chicago Tribune
the grossest insults to the Executive
Here is specimen
"Who does not know that Fred Doug
lass superiority in logical power, in mem
ory, in wit in rhetorical eloquence, and in
every charm of .oratory, would leave his
competitor in the shade? Mr.. johnson
was talking with a gentleman who was, in
all but official station, his equal, and in ma
ny respects his superior. The dignifed,
brief, but appropriate words of the ex-
slave contrast forcibly with the rambling,
ungrammatical, disconnected haraugue of
the President, through which the mind
wanders in vain in the search for either
heart, intellect, logic or coherency The
contrast between the dreary twaddle of
such speech and the pithy utterance of
our late President, always keenly revealing
some jewel of principle or gem Of truth, is
painful in the extreme. Fortunately, as
| this is Government in which men of me-
docre abilities may by accident become
President, it is also Government which
the medirocity Of their abilities cannot de-
stroy."
The next day the same paper raves in
negro-mad strain as follows
"When black man boards white
President 10 his house and shivers his half
hour of argument in half. minute of COM
mon sense, it is ;ime to stop and consider
whittier we are drifting. We call upon
the Grams and Marctzeks and UImanns,
the singing schools and church choirs, to
muster their forces for combined suppress
sion Of this idiot, who accomplshes with
out brains more than they can with them,
before the sceptre slips from their grasp
and race of black idiots sing the "Bor.
gia" and "Trovatore" from our stages, and
"Mear" and "Boylston" fiom our choirs.

A good inquiry to-day. confined only to the
best grades. As there are but few bright
niddiings in market. of course but few trans
actions were effected. Cotton merchants ex-
press great fears over the seeming prospect Of
a war in Europe. The derangement Of the
money market effected thereby. together with
a large falling of of the export demand, must
necessarily tell upon the price of cotton. We
repeat our quotations Of yesterday:

at once at the Sanitary office, in order
that the disinfectant force may use the
proper means to disinfect the premises.
The owners of premises who let them by
the room to families, must lime, white
wash, and disinfect such houses twice
every week; failing to do which their
premises will be declared nuisance by
this Office, and closed up or torn down.
The Sanitary Police will see that all
rooms in which pestilential diseases oc-
cur are thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected. The Sanitary Police will report
to be condemned as nuisances, all houses
in which each room is occupied by more
than four persons. The Sanitary Police
will see that property holders and occu-
pants Of houses have the cutters in front
of their premises cleaned out at least
twice, week, and the offal from such
cutters placed at least two feet from the
gutter. The ward physicians are re-
quested to attend all calls of the poor
and INDECENT by night and by day, and
they will report all cases of cholera or
smallpox coming within their knowledge
to the Sanitary Office, and will send all
such cases as they find nearly destitute,
without attendance, to the pest-house,
and all such cases as take place in
crowded boarding houses, and in tene-
ments sub-let to numbers of families
Citizens are requested to report all nu-
sances, public or private, that may come
under their observation to the Sanitary
office, No. II Madison street
The committee appointed to wait upon
the Judge of the County Court after
consultation among themselves referred
the matter back to the Board, suggesting
the propriety Of dropping the matter.
In addition to the visiting physicians
appointed, a member of the Board for
each ward has been appointed, who will
constitute a committee of inspecting
physicians. A resolution was passed
ordering the publication of the names
and residences of physicians appointed
to attend upon the INDECENT poor.
