RECONSTRUCTION has been recon-

The RAIDS. are so hard up for some
thing to say in praise of their candidate

he once ruled in accordance with a we'll
settled principle of law laid down in
the reports of Supreme Court decisions.
Such conduct in Radical Judge is GER

NEGRO AssA sAssINATION.-Th hOrri-
BILE account of the butchery of an entire
family in Wake County, n. c., just re-
ceived, reminds us that atrocities of
this description, perpetrated by ne
groes, are coming from the Southern
States with alarming frequency. We
can remember nothing like it in former
years. In every instance, so Or as we
have observed, the crime is instigated
by desire to plunder or the gratiti-
cation of beastly passions. Nowhere
do these Outrages partake Of political
character. They do not proceed from
a spirit of retaliation or revenge, and
can only be attributed to growing de-
moralization among the negro pOpula-
tion consisting in a large degree of those
who lately were slaves, but now re-
leased from almost every form of re-
straint Not only this, but the negroes
are often the dupeS of mischief-makers,
itinerant lecturers and political orators,
who fill their weak minds with crude
notions concerning their personal
rights, the laws of property, &c. the
influences thus eXerted are incidental
to the change suddenly brought about
in their social condition, and are in
evitable. As all must have foreseen,
the transition state, while the simple
freedmen are being qualified for the
duties of citizenship, is fraught with
peril, not only to themselves, but to the
entire social fabric in which they move.
None can predict the end. Those who
anticipated a simultaneous revolt of
the whole slave population as insep-
arabic from the war with the South,
found themselves widely at fault, and
we may trust that all similar predic-
tiOns of wholesale massacres or other
atrocities, growing out of thenew-found
liberty of the race will be as complete
ly falsifed by time. Still, the signs
Of increasing social disorganization
manifested in the prevalence of the
worst forms of atrocity-lust, murder,
and rapine-cannot be regarded with
entire composure. The final destiny
of the black race now in America pre-
sents problem, of which, at this early
day, no definite solution is offered. N.

SHALL THE NEXT PRESIDENT BE E.
LECEED BY NEGROES?

Negro suffrage having been forced
upon ten States of the Union against
the wishes of the lawful governing
people and in violation of their inal-
ienable rights, no negro vote that may
be cast in the South for a preSiden-
tial candidate i'll 1868 can lawfully be
counted. The Conservative, people of
the North should therefore take early
action to checkmate the Radical con-
spirators in the Infamous design which
they are perfecting to elect a Radical
President with negro ballots. Let ar
rangements be made Immediately, un-
der the old State laws, to take the law
full white vote of those ten States, in
November, 1868, and if by that vote,
added to the Conservative vote of the
North, Conservative candidate shall
be in majority, let that man be made
President at whatever cost or sacrifices.
This Government was formed by
white men for white men and their
handful of grasping and ambitious
demagogues to say to the great white
masses-''You shall take the negroes
into partnership with you, and permit
them to dictate to you who shall be
your President, your Senators and your
Representatives" And this, in sub
stance, is just what the Radical leaders
are now saying to the laboring masses
of the country. The People will be
drones and cravens, indeed, to bare
their necks to such an ignoble yoke
without struggle-a death struggle,
even, to retain and perpetuate their
right to self-government. Let their
watchword henceforth be-This Gov
ernment was made for white men, and
it shall be ruled by white men only!

rmAD. ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN !

A correspondent of the ". Y. Herald,
who visited Thad. Stevens, at Lancaster,
a short time ago, gives an account OF
his conversation with the Radical lead
er, in which Stevens is repres ented to
have been very severe upon Butler,
Forney and other prominent men in
his own party, and to have ae.knowledg-
ed that Pennsylvania would be lost to
the Radicals at the app oaching elec-
tions. Stevens took notice of this let
ter, in his place in Congress, a few days
ago, and whilst he disclairned any in
tention to censure Butler & Co., he did
not deny the authenticity of the state
ments of the HeraIds correspondent
and failed entirely to contradict that
portion of those statements in which
he is reported to have admitted the
prospective defeat of the Radicals in
Pennsylvania. We, therefore, give the
following extracts from the Herdld'S
article, with entire confidence in their
truthfulness.
"Question-Is the Republican party
well united in Pennsylvania?
''Stevens-I fear that we shall lose
Pennsylvania this next election. | do
not think we have earnestness enough
in theState teand draw out the Re
publican strength, while the Republi-
can portion Of our Legislature has been
so openly, notOriously and shamefully
corrupt that all the honest Republicans
in the State are disheartened and dis
gusted.
"Question-YOu do not suppose that
you can beat New York in corruption,
do you?
"Mr. Stevens-I think we could
Cameron had his men with their hand
fulls of greenbacks working in the Leg
islature. He had not fourteen votes in
his favor at the close of the election, but
soon after he had forty. One man now
claims $780, 900 for services, and they re-
fuse to pay him. This corruption will
certainly beat us here next election un-
less we can draw out the Republican
strength by getting up furore and ex-
element on impeachment. Geary. too,
hurts US very much. Heisan unhappy
failure, and his nomination was an un-
fortunate thing for the party"
Take courage, Democrats! The file
leader waivers! We shall capture the
enemy, "horse, foot, Dragons and
Charles Sumner! Steady boys, and
charge them in the centre!

VATERLAND!

The Germansare coming! Carl Helm
zer, editor of the Boston Pioneer, the
most ultra Radical paper in the country,
has cut loose from the So called "Repub-
lican" party. The Pittsburg VOIfS-
6Ldtt, an Influential Radical daily, says
that the German "Republicans" must
form an alliance with the Democracy.
The Iowa German Republican papers
take similar grounds and Carl Schurz
himself, recommends, in the st. Louis
WestLiche Post, that the German Radi-
Gals vote for the Democratic candidates
for legislative and municipal offices.
The Germans left their Vaterland to
seek land of liberty, and they will
never assist in establishing a worse
than Austrian tyranny in America.

THE a sistant commissioner of the
Negro Bureau at Nashville, Gen. w.
P. Carlin, has issued circular for cir
culatiOn among negroes, in which they
are informed that in case they lose en-
plOyment on account of politics they
will be provided for by the bureau un-
til they can find work, and that all ex-
penses SO incurred will be paid out of
the especial relief fund" appropriated
by Congress. Here is a most excellent
opportunity for lazy darkies. Nodoubt
hundreds and thousands of them will a.
vail themselves of the opportunity to
to get fixed in the Bureau as political
martyrs, until they can get work. But
how will this sort of business suit our
Northern hard-working tax payers, out
of whose pockets is taken this "spe-
cial relief fund" appropriated by Con-
gress ?-Pdt. q Union.

THE LOST are told that
some Of our Republican brethren, upon
reading the platform promulgated by
the Williamsport Republican Conven-
tioD, and finding no plank upon the
subject of Manhood Suffrage, inquir-
ed OF the delegation from this county
why it was, and received for reply:
"Y0u see, we found that plank con-
siderably shattered and broken by the
manifestations of the people at the
elections, and we feared to give it place
lest it would break the entire platform
down. That plank has cast rather a
dark shadow over us in Pennsylvania,
and it was thought best after cOnsidera-
bic and warm controversy to keep it in
the shade for the present. We managed
to keep tie debate in committee, but
some how it has leaked through some
fool that they had a laundering hot
time oft"
This is the only account we have
heard of the missing plank. 1t may
turn up in some of the more rabid
county conventions, where its advo-
Gates have no gag on them. 1t is evil
dent that the Republicans are frighten-
ed at the dark shadoW.-S,ue6erY Dem

not yet registered, another appropria-
ton of one million, sic hundred and fifty
thousand dollars has been made. This

ANOTHER GLORIOUS VETO.

The President has vetoed the recon-

Reconstruction bill, and Congress has
again shut its eyes, in wilful blindness,

veto message is an able document and
makes the Presidents position impreg-
nable. We shall lay it before our read
ers in our next issue.

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

No man will deny that the intemper-
ate use of intoxicating liquors, is hurt
ful as we'll to the community as to the
individual. Drunkenness has long
been a besetting vice among mankind,
and, we think, is not more extensively
practiced now than formerly. Never
theless, it is a subject which properly
attracts the attention 4of every man
who would be benefactor to the hu-
man race. 1t is moral disease which
philanthropists have long since tried
to cure, but which has thus far baffied
their good intentions. Societies have
been established for this purpose,
pledges have been administered, lec-
turers have harangued the people upon
their shortcomings in this regard, but
all have proved comparative failures.
The last cure proposed is prohibitory
legislation. This has been tried in a
number of States, but, we are sorry to
say, the statistics on the subject, show
that there is more drunkenness, now,
in those States, than there was before
prohibitory laws made it temptation
to engage in clandestine drinking and
contraband liquor selling. Prehibitory
laws in regard to articles of diet and
drink, have always been defied by
man. Even the Divine edict, "Thou
shall not eat of the fruit of the Tree Of
knowledge of Good and Evil" was
disobeyed. AS Gods own command
failed to restrain man before the fall,
how shall human laws restrain him, in
his fallen estate? All experience teach
es US that sumptuary laws fail to reach
their purpose. But there is one cure
for fntemperance. Tt is the same that
must be applied to the healing OF every
other sin. 1t is the proper moral and
religious education of the people. Pa
rents, guardians and religious teachers
are responsible, in a great measure, for
the prevalence of drunkenness. AS
aids to the education of which we
speak, tt importance societies are, doubt
less, of great use. So long as these con-
fine themselves to the inplanti'1g Of true
moral principle in the minds and hearts
Ofthe people, they can do much good.
For the principle itself must be rooted
in the understanding and affections of
man, before his life will be in conformi-
ty with such principle. But when such
societies dess rt their legitimate mission
and seek to force upon the people, by
positive law, what they should incul-
cate in the mind and plant in the .af-
fections, by the efficacy of moral teach
ing, they not only fail in their purpose,
but cause the people to add to the sin
of drunkenness, corruption, evasion and
secret breaking of the law, and even
the heinous crime of perjury. Hence,
we are sorry to see indications that the
present temperance movement, of
which we had hoped so much, is about
to end its career in a struggle for polit-
ical power. 1t is with unbounded re-
gret that we feel constrained to write
these words, but we feel it our duty to
warn the true friends of temperance
against the fatal mistake which ambi-
tious and unprincipled men are leading
them to commit, and only hope that
our warning will be as kindly received
as it is honestly intended.
