Radical capital in trade:

Radical Hatred of Catholics.

The spirit of hatred toward the Cath
olic Church which was so rampant a
few years since still exists. The other
night the Radicals of Bellefonte had a
procession to celebrate the victory in
this State, and when passing the Cath
olic Church of the town, they stopped
and deliberately gave hideous groans
for it and its pastor. Here was the
same spirit which excited the Philadel-
phia riots. The will to burn the church
in Bellefonte existed. Yet, strange to
say, there are Catholics who vote with
this despicable party. We have no
doubt enough of them gave support to
their mortal foe in this State to make
up the majority that party received at
tho recent election. Some of these
days they will see their folly, but II
may be too late then for them to arrest
the evils they have brought upon them
selves.-LdRcaster (Pd) Intelligencer.

III. "Outrngen Business.

Choice rebel Outrages" have been in
serious demaad with the Radical party
for some time. Something stirring,

Insult Added TO Injury.

The Pittsburgh Post says when del
egation of Hebrews called upon Presi-
dent LINCOLN to urge the resembling of
the infamous order of General GRANT,
expellng the Jews as class from his
Military Department, the President said
that he had already demanded that the
order be revoked, and that he had re-
ceived reply from GRANT saying that it
should be done and that reply, adding
insult to injury, he read as follows;
"Mr. President: As you have directed
me, | will rescind the order; but wish
you to distinctly understand that THESE
PEOPLE ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF THOSE
WHO CRUCIFIED THE SAVIOUR; and from
the specimens have here, the race has not

CIub Meeting To-Night.

The Central Club meets at Head
quarters tonight. LIT us have full
meeting. The last battle of the cam
paign is to be fought on Tuesday. Ev-
cry preparation for the fight should be
made this evening. We want to poll
our full vote in this county. At the re-
cent elections the Democrats fell short
several hundred. The Republicans
seem anxious to know in how hopeless
a minority they stand in Ohio county.
No effort should be spared to satisfy
them on this point.
We can poll majority of five hun
dred for SEYMOUR and BLAIR, with
proper exertion. This done, we put to
rest etfrctually the noisy boast of the
Radicals that they are able to carry
Ohio county. Every man who feels an
interest in the success of the great
Democratic cause.-the cause of good
and honest and free government -
should now put his shoulder to the
wheel. General and concerted action
will make our triumph emphatic. Let
US have it.
In other States the Democrats are
working with vigor and determination
such IS tley have never shown before,
They intend to redeem Pennsylvania

Tie next President. Democrats of West

out our reserve strength in Ohio county

The Test Oath OF Missouri md the

From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. 20


"The treaty of Limerick was signed

guilty among the Catholics" 1t prom
ised them such privileges in the exer-
else of their religion as they did enjoy
in the time Of Charles H., and the King
promised them further security. But,
October %, 1871, the English Parlia-
ment excluded Catholics from the Irish
House of Lords and Commons by test
oath. In 1895 they were prohibited
from educating or being guardian to
their own children. In l704 any son
who would turn Protestant was made
owner ofhis fathers estate. A Catholic
was forbidden to marry Catholic, or
hold any office or vote. In 17O9 a
Catholic was prohibited to hold annuity
for life, or keep - --h~o', % "'O ." d
;nrv And hy the same act rewards
We're offered for the discovery of any
popish priest.
Sydney Smith says: "This code of
laws reflects indeliblc disgrace upon
tho English character, and explains bat
too clearly the cause Of that hatred in
which the English name has been so
long held in Ireland. 1t would require
centuries TO eflace the impression"
This is the way in which honest and
intelligent minds in England now view
the Irish test oath government set up
by Parliament after the surrender Of
Limerick.
But what has been the test oath gov
ernment of Missouri What has been
tho policy of the Clovors, brakes and
Strongs in Missouri They copied this
infamous Irish code. They have fixed
the same disgrace upon Missouri which
blackened the name of England. They
not only disfranchiSed voters, but they
filled the public jails with Catholic
priests and Protestant ministers, and
young girls who committed no crime
but teaching school. They have made
government moro essentially and
thoroughly corrupt than any ever
known in all North America. The test
oath policy in Ireland had the effect to
taint the public heart and conscience to
the core. 1t offered its daily rewards
for hypocrisy and perjury and the re-
wards were eagerly swallowed. The
system is true to itself. 1t is in Mis-
souri, just what it was in Ireland.

Turning the Table.

The MtelligeHcer man is getting int6
deem water with his table" of Radical
maiorities in this State. Yesterday he
was compelled to make another "cor'
rsctjon." and confess that the majorities
in Greeubrier, Mercer and Fayette
credited by his table" to the Radicals
sbopld have been set down in favor OF
the Democrats. His explanation is that
"these counties appear to have got
mixed" in the tclegraphimg. 1t is much
more likely that the brains of the
"R,adv ReckOner who couldn't work
ont a siugle sum in two column addi-
ton. have got mixed in his under
taking to cipher out an unprecedented
Radical victory in West Virginia. 1t

GEN. BLAIR i'll his speech at Chi
cago made this allusion to the Radical
lie that he had threatened the assassi.
nation of Gen. GRANT, in case of his
election:
"I said that General Grant and III,

Sassinate the liberties Of the country. [ Ap

potism in ten States would not hesitate

had stricken down all civil government

Take the Ballot from the ForeigDe'
aud Give if TO the Negro.

The Meadville (Pa.) Daily Republican,
few days after the election, had
this attack npon the Irish because they
would not fraternize with the negro.
The man who wrote it made a great
mistake in not being born without even
visible admixture of white blood in
his veins:
"That portion of our Republican pol
iticians who hoped to gain voters
among the Irish at the late election
ought to be satisfied that efforts in that
direction are in vain. As a class the
Irish voted against us. With few ex-
ceptions they belong naturally to the
negro hating, Copperhead Democracy.
fIn this city they were the most ac-
tive men on election day. The ink was
hardly dry on the naturalization papers
of several of them before they were the
noisiest politicians in the ranks of the
opposition. They are the most clam-
orous of all men against Niger
Equality" but majority of them are
neither as intelligent, nor as good citi-
zens as the negroes.
"To disfranchise our colored citizens,
and give the ballot to the ignorant
Irish is reproach to our civilization.
The ext battle we have in Penasylva-
MIA must be to give the right of suffrage
to the black men,"

The Indiana State election will be
contested. The nominal 1000 majority,
it is believed, was secured by 2OOO Rad
ical fraudulent votes. The Indiana
Sentinel says:
"The contest will be made, and it is
due to public morals and the vindica-
tion Of the right that it shonld be. And
to this determination the voice of all
good citizens, not blinded by party
prejudice and passion, will respond
amen"
In New York the Radicals are seeking
to cover up their own intended frauds
by crying oat fraud against others. The
game of "Repeaters" is one of their
plans. 1t is brazen impudence in the
face of facts to hear Radicals deuouuc-
ing frauds. By denying the franchise
to thousands of legal yeters in Pennsyl-
vania, they carried the State, and the
Radical Judge is elected by % in Phila-
delphia when l27 paupers, taken from
the almshouse, gave him their votes.

in Indiana by a majority of 1858 votes,
and the Radicals claim Pennsylvania
