notions Of ''higher laW' might at any
| time lead him to substitute his own
! opinions in the stead of the State Con-
stitution. A person holding such views
is Pennsylvania only in name he is
New England political transcendent-
alist; a restless, malignant reformer,
who is unwilling to hold fast that
which is good, but advocates "pro-
gress,' though he stupidity progresses
backward, like a miserable crab, and
succeeds onlyin disturbing and destroy
ing civil society. In order to show
that Mr.. Williams is really this sort of
man, we give the following, which
comes to us as having been first pub
Iished by the Salem Mass Journal:
"The nomination of Judge Williams
for theSupreme Court, in Pennsylvania,
by the Radical Republicans, is another
acknowledgment on the part Of the stolid
Dutch elements Of the superiority Of NeiC
England men. Judge Williams is a
native of Connecticut, and received his
early training in the higher law doc
trines of our section. We have been
reliably informed that he has in nOWiSe
apOStatized from his fathers or the true
principles governing the rights of man,
but that he SteadfaStly retains his af-
fection for New England institutions.
Those are the sort of men whom we
love to see elevated to power in the
Dutch Middle States and over the half
civilized people Of the West. They
constitute the ark Of sgtety for the mater
idI interests Of Our section, and IN no IN
stance, 1Cj5ere money can effect anything,
should the people Of Nea0 England be
spG1illg Of their means IN securing the
nomination and election Of such men as
Judge Williams.
"Pennsylvania-pOOr, ignorant, stu
pid, old Dutch state-regardless Of the
Kissing of fcopperheads, is now pretty
thoroughly 'Yankeeized' Thaddeus
Stevens, native of Vermont, and
man true to his faith, holds the political
elements Of the State IN the hOLiOlC Of his
hand, and, on a fair ballot of the rank
and file of the party, would have been
made United States Senator. The
Superintendent of Common Schools is
by birth and education New England
er, and it is fair to persume that the
meet crop Of Dutch UOters 1CW6e as COM
pletely Yam RfeeizeP as 1t is possible to ef-
feet 0m Of such a0lprOmising neaterjM
We understand, also, that each annual
legislature is composed of New England
men, and that more than One-half the
present delegation in Congress are ma
tives of our section, but of this we are
not quite positive. Taking matters
on the whole, the ont look IN PejAasylrG-
MIA is dstaUOr05le for Nel0 England ideas
and supremacy as could be a0iShed."
Reader, do you prefer a Supreme
Judge, who will decide questions of law,
according to New England Yankee no.
tions, or one who will determine such
questions agreeabIy to the Constitution
and Laws ofPenn5ylvania? Your vote,
at the coming election, will be the
answer to this question.

"A train ofemigrants who went to

Oregon is great wheat and vegetable

there is no market for farming pro-

n CHANCE To MAKE MONEY
FIVE HUNDRED AGENTS WANTED TO
SELL THE "YOUTH's OR PEOPLES
HISTORY OF THE WAR" ."-ThiS is the
only history from Democratic stand
point, and can be relied on as truthful
in every respect. No family should
be without it. Also, 800 agents are
wanted to sell work entitled "No-
.jOQue," written by Hinton BOlCara Hell
per, author of the 'Impending Crisis" !"
This work, although written by Re-
publican" and one of Mr.. Lincoln's
own pets, is worthy the careful perusaI
Of every Democrat and honest "Repub-
lican." 1t stigmatizes the ruling ma
jority in Congress as the "EXecrable
two thirds majority of The Black Con-
gress' that ought to be despised and
spurned by every genuine lover of the
pure Caucasian race. The Negro equal
ity and Negro Suffrage question is
handled in an able manner by the au-
thor. Let every man in this county
who is opposed to Despotism, and also
the social and political equality of the
white and black races, secure a copy of
each of these works, at the first oppor-
tunity. With these works you will be
prepared to combat successfully every
argument of the White and Black Ne
gro Party in favor of the despotic
measures passed by the Black Congress,
and Of its negro equality doctrine
Those desiring agencies for either of
the allowed named works will please
call on Mr.. E. w. MILLER, who can
be found at the Mengel House, in this
place, from this time until the 25th of
this month. Both works are meeting
with very rapid sales, and no young
man out Unemployment can do better
than to secure an agency at once.

We have heard of mean people, OF
low, contemplate, despicable, crawling
officiating wretches, of people who
would suffer themselves to be spat up
on, pulled by the nose, kicked as to
the seat of their pantaloons and cuffed
as to their auricular appendages we
have heard of dogs licking the hand
that struck them, of swine feeding on
slops dispensed to them by the man
who had just driven them with the
goad, nay, we have even read of one
Uriah Heep, who was so '''umble" in
his rascality that he would roll in any
sort of dirt to accomplish his purposes; !;
but it remained for Edwin NJ. Stanton
to achieve that sublimated refinement
OF the infamy of meanness, which con-
sists in forcing himself, as a Cabinet
adviser, upon the society of the Presi-
dent. The long and short of what we
refer to, is this: President Johnson, the
other day, requested Stanton to resign
the place he holds in the Cabinet as
Secretary of War. A gentleman would
have delivered the port folio ofoffice to
the President, iastanter. Stanton didn't.
If there is anything meaner under the
sun, than this unmanly and ungentle-
manly course of the Secretary of War,
we should like to be informed what it
is.
P. S. Bully for Andy Johnson
That "foot" has come down at last !!
Mr.. E. NJ. Stanton has just been sus-
pended from Office, and Gen. Grant ap-
pointed Secretary of War in his stead.
Stanton died hard, but he had ''to sur
render" as he said in his reply to the
President, to superior force" What
is particularly gratifying, is the fact
that Grant had no hesitation in accept
ing the surrender"

THE Philadelphia Press is decidedly
astute. 1t says that the Democrats re-
perfection of human reason" but think
it "terrible crime for judges to be in
accord with the political sentiment of
the age" The Press and other Aboli-
ton journals have always told us that
the Dred Scott decision was contrary
to 'the political sentiment Of the age"
If they told the truth in this regard,
how can there be any parallel between
the attitude of the Democratic party
toward that decision, and the position
in which the Abolition party are placed
in respect to the Judiciary, by the Will
Transport Convention? Surely the
Democratic party never, in any plat
form, demanded that any court should
decide any question of law in accord
ance with the opinions held by that
party. Democrats acquiesced in the
Dred Scott decision, because the high
est Judicial authority of the country
pronounced it to be the ldlC. But they
never asked that such a decision should
be made because it would be sin accord
with the political sentiment of the
age" This is the Gods truth and we
defy the Press to controvert it.

DEATH OF EX-GOV. PORTER.

EN-Governor David r. Porter died,
at his residence in Harrisburg, on the
fifth inst. Gov. Porter was native OF
Huntingdon county, which he repre-
sented in the Legislature several years.
He was the first Governor under the
amended Constitution, and held the
Office six years. The name of David
r. Porter needs no eulogy. Pennsyl-
vania has lost a noble son, but our loss
is, doubtless, his gain.

THE SURRATT CASE.

The trial of John H. Surratt, charged
with completely in the murder of Abra-
ham Lincoln, has been concluded. The
jury were out seventy-three hours, and
at the end of that time, reported that
they could not agree upon verdict.
The Court then discharged them. They
stood eight for acquittal, and four for
conviction. Surratt was remanded
to prison, probably to be tried on
some other charge. Mr.. Bradley,
one of the counsel for Surratt, was
dismissed from the bar by Judge Fish
er (the principal counsel for the pros
ecution) on the ground that Brad
ley had insuIted him outside ofthe Court.
Bradley afterwards challenged Fisher.
There is great excitement in Washing
ton, over the action of Judge Fisher.
The members of the bar appear, almost
unanimously, tosympathize with Brad
ley.
