How England Loved Us During tho War.
Ex-Secretary Stanton delivered q rather i'm
portant speech in Carlisle, Ohio, on the Sd in
staht. In reviewing the question as to whom
the government was indebted for the sinews of
war to enable 1t to fight the rebellion, Mr..
Stanton stated that cit was known in official
circles in Washington that house in London
that had been dealing to the extent of millions
of dollars with our credit believed our cause
80 hopeless that on the sacred Sabbath day
their agent presented to the head of the Trea-
sury Department bill for o small balance that
was due them" and, as the speaker believed,
invested it in Confederate bonds. 1t was for
tunate for the country that we had not to 60
abroad for money to carry on the war, and,
more than ALL to trust to such hereditary and
treacherous foes as England and her banking
houses for assistance. We have seen how the
government Of Great Britain permitted the
building and fitting out of piratical cruisers to
prey upon American commerce during th e
war, and have taken into consideration the i'm
mense depredations they committed; for all of
which "little bill" against the British gov
eminent remains outstanding, and the liqui-
dation Of which We hope Mr. Seward will take
early steps to secure, provided he does not
select any sacred Sabbath day" in the hour
Of England's tribulation to do so; but it re-
NAMED for this disclosure in an obscure town
in Western State to all the cup Of British
meanness and hypocrisy. When the day Of
settlement comes what an enormous balance
Uncle Sam will have to present against John
Bull

THE gushing love for the soldier. that
fills the soul Of John Cessna, prompted
him og0toChambersburg on the daybe-
fore the meeting of the Franklin coun-
ty convention, to lay the ropes that
would slaughter the gallant Col. Weist-
ling, in the house of his friends
What arguments Cessna used to con-
uiace the delegates that he was more
entitled to the conferees than the SOL
dier who was clearly the choice of that
county, has not yet come to light. But
he succeeded. Johns motto is,-and
in fact it is the motto of the radicals
everywhere-never sacrifice your own
interests to enhance those of the SOL
dier. Thus we have another instance
of the great love which that party pro-
fesses to have for the soldiers. One
after another they are crushed as they lay
themselves down beforethis Juggernaut
of Radicalism. First, Capt. Stuckey,
now Col. Weistling, both had to be
slaughtered to appease this new god
who has set himself up to be worship
ped by the Radical party in this district.

This means that we called him "a

but brutal biackguard. Besides, he
threw the first stone. He said in his
first speech in Bedford, that the Demo-
Gratis had sent to Harrisburg for the cd
itor of this paper for the purpose of
having him ''fix up" some young Dem
Gratis who were dissatisfied, and that
when he could not do it otherwise, he
made them drunk! Now, this was not
only an atrocious falsehoOd, but it was
uttered in regard to one who was, at
the time, an utter stranger to Mr.. Mar
shall. a man who could DO so ungen-
tIeman!y thing, must not complain
when he gets rough usage. But moth
ing else could be expected of a fellow
who prefers the society ola negro boot
black to that of decent white men.

Now. you GAN SEE!

The mouth-piece of the Radicals,
Tom Marshall, at their meeting on
Saturday night of last week, declared
that his party is in favor of compelling
the people of eleven States to have
Negro Suffrage, and that it must also
be established in the Northern States.
Now, Republicans, you can see what
your leaders are driving at! They
nave riveted their odious policy upon
the Southern States, and now, with
Grant as an instrument to deceive you,
they want to fasten tupon you! They
are getting bolder. They imagine the
people viii tolerate any thing they
choose to do. They think Grants
military cloak will cover their infa
NOUS purposes from your sight. Even
now, there is snugly filed away in one
of the committee rooms of Congress,
Summers bill to legiSlate Negro Suffrage
into all Tie States. Elect men like
John Cessna, or, in fact, any Radical,
to Congress, and they will pass this
bill at once. Should Grant be elected
and veto it, they will pass it over his
veto. If they carry the election, they
will say the people endorsed Negro
Suffrage at hep0l{s and demand such q
la,0 from Congress. This is plainly
foreshadowed in the speech of Tom.
Marshall. The Radical party is openly
committed to this purpose. Grant
stands upon their platform and accepts
their doctrines. He is tarred with the
same stick as Sumner, Kelley, Wade
and the rest. Let every Republican
who is opposed to Universal Negro
Suffrage act out his principles, and
either not vote at all, or vote for Sey-
mour and Blair.

"Ihe UCtr betaoeea the States, its Causes
Character, Conduct and results, by Hon
Alexander III. Stevens, is the title OF 2
valuable work just issued by The Ma
tional Publishing Co., Philadelphia
Pa.
Histories of the late civil war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they
can now be numbered almost by hun.
| dreds, but all who are desirous of arri
/ wing at correct understanding of the
causes, and clear history OF the events
of the lamentable war, have felt the
want of reliable history of the same
from Southern standpoint, by some
representative man Of the South This
want is about to be supplied by Alex
ander II. Stevens. Mr.. Stevens was
a most earnest protestant against re-
bellion. and only succumbed at the last
moment, when his State, in spite OF
his warning committed the great error.
The bare announcement that this
distinguished Statesman had deter
mined to write book, would, of itself,
be sufficient to kindle a lively and
widespread interest in all sections of
the country; but when it is known
that he has chosen as his theme the
| one so fruitful as the late American
War, the absorbing interest of the
subject, together with the evident and
singular fitness of the author for its
treatment, unite in awakening curl
osity entirely unparalleled in the an
mails of American literature.
1t presents careful political analy-
sis of the past, separating real from dp-
parent causes of the late unhappy con-
tiiCt, and gives those interior lights
and shadows Of the Great War, only
known to those high officers, who
watched the fiood-tide of Revolution
from its fountainsprings, and which
were so accessible to Mr.. Stephensfrom
his position as second officer of the Con-
federacy.
TO public that has been surfeited
with apparently similar productions,
it presents a change of fare, both a
greeable and salutary, and an intellec-
tual treat of the highest order. The
Great American War has at dtst found
a historian worthy of its importance,
and at whose hands it receives that
moderate, candid and impartial treat
ment which truth and justice so ur-
gently demand.
This most valuable work is sold only
by subscription, and the publishers
want an agent in every County.

THE New POST OFFICE LAW.-The
post office law just passed by Congress
contains some important changes in
the mode of conducting the business of
the department, and as all our readers
are more or less interested in sending
and receiving letters and newspapers,
we publish some of the provisions of
the new law for their information
The law provides that all letters on
which the name of the sender is endors-
ed shall be returned to him if not call
for within thirty days; it doubles the
compensation of pOstmasters for the
payment of money orders, but reduces
the fees on the same. 1t permits
weekly newspapers sent to regular
subscribers in the county where pub
lished to be delivered free of postage
from the post office nearest the place of
publication it also authorizes the issue
OF duplicate money orders. This law
also makes it felony of high charac-
ter to use postage stamps second time

master General to prescribe a uniform
for letter carriers, and makes III misde-
meanor for any one else to wear the

Pertinent Questions.

The New York World propounds the
following pertinent questions. What
Radical can answer them?
If reconstruction is success, why
isn't the army withdrawn?
If the Radicals mean to economiZe,
why didn't they begin three years
ago?
If the negroes can vote of them
selves, why pay the Bureau to teach
them?
If the Radicals want peace, what
are they running their candidate on
his military merits for?
Ifthe Radicals mean equal rights,
why one currency for capital and an
other for labor?
If the Radicals want impartial suff-
rage, what does their platform say one
suffrage North and another South for !?
If the Radicals want peace, what
are they arming the negroes for?
Is it impartial suffrage to enfranchise
the black and disfranchise the white
man?

"The Republican party has been la
boring since the close Of the war to es-
tablish firm and stable civil govern
mentS in the Southern States and re-
store them, to peace and prosperity"
Inquirer.
\ deliberate, naked and shameless
falsehood! In 1868, there were ''firm
and stable governments" erected in
those States, upon the plan of A. Lin
coin, carried into effect by Andrew
Johnson. See testimony Of L. S.
Grant before the Military Committee
of Congress-. The people Of the South
elected representatives to Congress, the
same year, and asked TO be recognized
as in the Union. The Republican"
party, the infamous, devilish Radicals
into whose control that party had fall
en-, refused admission to those repre-
sentatives, turned them away from the
doors of Congress, passed the Recon-
struction Acts, divided the South into
military districts, established an armed
despotism over the Southern people,
and forced Negro Suffrage and Negro
Supremacy upon them at the point Of
the bayonet. They banded the blacks
together in sworn leagues, and, as Sena-
tor Doolittle aptly and truthfully eX-
pressed it, "organized hell in the
South" They "labor to establish firm
and stable governments in the South !"
They "labor to restore to those States
peace and prosperity" !" So Lucifer
''labored to establish a firm ana stable
government in Heaven! So the
wolf ''laborS to restore peace and pros
perity" to the sneep-fold! Out upon
the mendacious knave who thinks to
palm off such IA bald and tawdry lie
upon his readers! Why, if the Gre
publican" party ''labored" so hard to
establish firm and stable governments
in the Southern States and restore them
to peace and prosperity, how comes it
that their labor has been unsuccessful ?
Nobody hindered them. Nobody
could hinder them. They rode rough
shod over all opposition to their policy.
They handcuffed the President with
their two-thirds vote in Congress, they
gagged the Supreme Court, and they
had their bayonets constantly at the
throats Of the Southern people. Now,
whose fault was it that they have not
succeeded? NObody's but their own.
Their policy is unequal, unjust, corrupt,
wicked and diabolical and cannot be
carried out. They hare failed because
Mey are ,crong. Let them not complain
when they bring ruin upon their own
heads.

& RADICAL REBELLION THREATEN
Ed
JohnSna. of Missouri. Declares that Scy-
n1Our-s Inauguration Shall BE
Prevented by Force!

The Radicals are preparing to rebel
in case any Of the Southern States are
needed to elect the Democratic candi-
date. Johnson, their candidate for At
torney General of Missouri, made a
speech at Saline, in that State, a few
days since, in which he said, repeating
the sentiment several times:
"There could and should be but one
result to the election this fall-that
General Grant, backed by the army
and supported by the whole Radical
party, would prevent, with the bayO-
net, the Inauguration Of a Democratic
administration at Washington, and
that the Radical State Government at
Jefferson would resist and put down in
the same way any attempt to inaugu-
rate the Democratic party into power
in this State.'
Such is the revolutionary and bloody
purpose of these desperate Radicals
The only way to settle them, is, for the
people Of the Northern States to over
wheIm them at the polls. Conserva-
tive Republicans should understand
that if they would prevent the threat
ened Radical Revolution, the vote for
Seymour and Blair must be made de-
cisjUe IN the Northern States. Moder-

ferees who must be specially obnoxi-
Gus to Colonel Weistling, one of them
being the reputed author of the articles
which assailed him SO bitterly, and
the other, one of our neighbors of the
Repository who refused to let the Col
onel in to a defence.
This is a Radical quarrel and OF
course with it we have nothing to do.
But we have felt it our duty as journal
lists to thus publicly call attention to
the shabby treatment which the sup
porters of that little demagogue, John
Cessna, extended to Colonel Weistling,
who, however Radical he may be in
politics, is nevertheless a thorough
gentleman.
John Cessna has thus succeeded in
securing the conferees from this COun-
ty. We congratulate him on his sue
cess. We have been wishing for him
to run at time when it would be in
the power of the Democracy to clay
him out" and we opine that he has hit
the right time. We propose to move
Immediately upon his works.
