Wise,s SAnhisfries.

Ex-Governor and rebel Henry A. Wise, in a
speech delivered at Richmand few days ago, is
reported to have said
1--WE all owe natural allegiance TO our country
and any test-oath to support its Constitution or
oath of registration is violation of that Constu-
ton There is an effort TO make white freemen of
the South subject to the domination of the black
freemen. Against this we must appeal to the white
masses of the North who will not permit the sacr-
fee of natures laws to political prejudice The
whites of the New England and Middle States and
of Europe, must not be kept out of the South by
black rule This is the white mans land, and must
be kept open for white men,"
And yet while owing this anatural allegiance TO
his country, Wise rebelled against it and traitor
ously attempted its ruin. Having thus been guilty
of treason, BY what right does he presume to die
tate to those more loyal than himself what means
they shall adopt to preserve the country from sirni
lar attempts to destroy it in futuref Men who
have been true to the Constitution and still intend
to be So do not regard test-oath" 70 support that
Constitution as imposing any hardship upon them.
No loyal man feels that such an oath is any mora
restraint upon his legal rights than are the laws
against murder upon the rights of a man who never
expects to commit murder Only rebels feel il 10
be an invasion of their rights as the murderer
breads capital punishment.
Mr.. Wise is guilty of q shameless peryersion of
fact when he asserts that there is effort to make
white freemen of the South subject to the domioa
lion of blsek freemen;" but it is q perversion in
which he is sustained by President johnson and
Conservative politicians generally. By the aid of
such men as Gov. Wise himself for several genera
tons past the black race in Virgins and other
Southern States were kept in state Of subiection 70
the white The war broke their letters and it's IN
prevent their reduction to slavery again-to secure
equality of rights and equal protection Of the law
to all elasses-that the freedmen are now clothed
with the right Of suffrage. But even if black DOM
nation were the object as falsely alleged Governor
Wise would have no right to complain. He would
be merely receiving, in milder form, what he has
heretofore meted out to others-and receiving it as
the direct consequence of his own treason. What
the Republican party aim attn the South is reither
white domination nor black domination, but the
domination of loyal men, regardless of color con-
altlon and according TO the true spirit Of cur re-
publican Institutions. The fear Of "black rule in
the South will never do half 50 much to keep out
the whites of the New England and the Middle
States and of Europa as pro-slavery intolerance
and the rebellion have done in the past, both of
which Governor Wise sustained

Judicial Elections.

We publish this week, among our new advertise
ents, on the second page, two brief Proclamations
from the Governor. One orders an election in the
First Judicial Circuit to I'll the vacancy for Judge
occasioned by the resignation Of Hon. R. 3. Butler.
The other for Judge in the Sixth Judicial Circuit
to I'll the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Hon. Andrew McClain Both Of these elections
are to be held on SATURDAY, the 18th day Of
October Bext.
Let tae loyal men and loyal Leagues of these two
Circuits unite upon some unAinching Unionist for
these Offices and avoid such division in their ranks
as wouli make possible the election of traitor of
the Conservative party.

Mr.. Editor: If there is a place in the United
States that needs a /" Phil. Sheridan or some of
Brownlow's melesh TO reconstruct il, that place
is Montvale Springs in this loyal East Tennessee
county, for traitors come here from all parts of the
South TO give vent to their reasonable sentiments
and to denounce men who served in the Federal
army during the rebellion, provided they are not on
their side of the question. 1t amuses me to think
what disaster the so-caed Conservative party will
meet with, and especially the men who served in
the Federal army during the rebellion and profess

Union and then deserted to the Conservatives, will

original rebels las they now in Kentucky when
they all fail together. Even if this Radical army
was not arrayed against them-which is as numer-
Gus the sands of theplains-they contain the ee-

LANCASTER, Pa. August &c, 1867.
Col. Samuel Schoch, Colombia, Pa
DEAR SIR You are right in supposing that
Congress made mistakes it is the Inevitable lot
of man; but you mistake in supposing that there is
any law to prohibit the removal of the district
manders without the consent of the Senate
Soon after the commencement of the last session
of Congress reported bill from the committee of
the House of Representatives, which contained a
provision prohibiting the removal without the con-
sent of the Senate. 1t passed the House, and was
sent to the Senate. The Senate struck it out, and
returned it to the House. who refused TO concur in
the amendment. The result was q committee of
conference, where an animated contest ensued.
There were several other questions of controversy
between the House, which the House offered to
yield If this could be granted. The Senate perse-
veringly refused declaring that they would sooner
lose the BILL AS that would Illustrate sll our legis
lation, it could not be allowed. The House yielded
with warning of the evils it would infict upon
the country. Some Of the members of the Senate
seemed to doubt their power under the Constitu-
ton, which they had just repudiated, and wholly
outside Of which all agreed that we were acting;
else our whole work of reconstruction was usurpa-
ton, or perhaps they had desire to be thought to
be gravely conservative and msgnanimous.
These ideas seemed to control the action of some
half dozen Senator'S who preferred trusting to the
President. My dear Colonel, few Senators of
great ability, undoubted patriotism and purity
have become SO saturated with what they are
pleased to call conservatism, (whose meaning con-
TESS | am unable to understand that 1 fear they
will forget the monster that was slain in 1875 and
again in 1861 and will thus do great damage to the
creation of government now so capable of being
converted into political paradise. This is liable
to happen, not SO much by direct and pslpable at
tack upon its frameworks as by gradually forget
ting the vital principles of the Declaration of In
dependence.
Strike out one of the living sparks which give
life to our Goddess Of Liberty, and the mysterious
and intense heat whose welding fires, near centu-
ry ago. and at present. are fusing the principles of
freedom and reducing despotism to a cinder, will
gradually COOL until the most conservative despot
could thrust his sword into it without affecting its
temper.
have said above that did not know the mean
ing of conservatism. l have since seen the report
of speech said to have been msde by an Ohio Sen
ator at Canton, Ohio, which, if be truly reported
and is to be considered as definition OF that doc
trine, then it. to me, is very alafming-worse than
copperheadism. It is Legislation. without authori-
ty, and reconstruction by usurpation.
am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Mr.. Editor The time for the meeting Of our
Legislature is approaching and as the first and most
important duty devolving .he new Legislature Is
the election of Speaker of the respective Houses,
we beg to suggest to the Senate the name Of Joseph
Eckle, of Hawkins county, as the man for this i'm
portant Office. Mr.. Eckle has the full confidence of
the Radical party in sections of the country where
he is known. His integrity and patriotism cannot
be doubted His ability TO discharge the duties of
the Office of Speaker of the Senate viii not be ques
toned by any who knows him. He is a man of
much general information; more thorough read
man cannot be found in the Senate and though it
may DO objected that he is young member-this
being his arst term, and his inexperence in parlia-
mentary usages and rules may be urged against
him-but this objection, 1 satisfied, will not be
urged by any one who is well acquainted with Mr..
Eckle. We would like TO see Mr.. Eckle in the Office
of Speaker Of the Senate, and we thus present his
claims to that body and respectfully ask that this
Office be given TO him. 1t win be but act of JUS
tice, and we viii have Speaker that viii do honor
