GOEONIZING.

In obedience to the command of Mr..
Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, the Democ-
racy have imported five or six voters
into our borough to vote next Friday.
This species of fraud is easily practiced
in cities where the registry laws are
not in force and where men are
strangers in a general sense, but here
ia community where all arc well
known, to attempt it shows up
the high-handed and cowardly sub
tcrfuges resortcd to by them to attain
their ends. Before the votes of the
aforesaid gentlemen are deposited they
will he required to swear to the fol-
lowing. We quote from the election

A New Orleans dispatch, dated
Thursday, says that the Republican
State Committee of Louisiana, in a
meeting tonight, resolved that they
were in sympathy with Congress in its
efforts to enforce the laws and compel
public officers, even the President
himself to obey them that the cheers
which were given for Jefferson Davis,
and the simultaneous recognition of
General Hancock by the rebel fire
companies yesterday, were insulting
to the flag Of our country and to the
brave soldiers who fought to defend
it; that we recommend to Congress
and General Grant, the immediate
removal of General Hancock, and that
we regard cheers for jeff. Davis by the
same men, a sufficient reason for re-
General Hancock and Jeff.
Davis were seen in the same carriage
tonight. The Democratic State Con
vention met to-day. Gen Steedman
made violent speech sustaining Mr..
johnson, and indicating force as the
only means of resistance to Congress.

his qualifications, and if he claims to
have resided within the State for one
year or more, his oath shall not be suf-
ficient proof thereof, but he shall make
proof thereof by at least one compe-
tent witness, who shall be qualified
elector, that he has resided within the
district for more than ten DAYS next,
preceding said election, and shall also
himself swear that his bona fde resi-
dence, in pursuance of his lawful call
ing, is within the district, and that he
did not remove into said district for the
purpose of voting therein"
If the parties we have in mind can
subscribe to the foregoing it will be a
case of hard swearing, aud the Judge
and inspectors ifmen of backbone and
conscientiousness, will have difficulty
in their decision. 1t is a question "if
their mothers know they re out p vet,
if they want to risk short trip "over
the river TO the stone mansion not
sin the skies" let them swear and
vote. Our friends throughout the
county should keep a sharp eye on
like proceedings in their own town
ships. Ifpossiblc let no Illegal votes
be polled.

An Exchange observes that Mr..
Pendleton's views on the greenback
question have essentially changed
since the bill to authorize their issue
was first under discussion in Congress.
In the course of that debate, Mr..
Pendleton said: fYou send these notes
into the world stamped with irredeem-
ability. You put on them the mark
of Cain, and like Cain will go forth to
be vagabonds and fugitives on the
earth" It's, nevertheless, with this
irredeemable currency that Mr. PEN
dleton proposes to pay the public
debt. stc j.

The expansion of our trade and the
return of former commercial activity
are Indispensable to our continued
vitality as a nation. Without it all
legislative contrivances for reducing
our burdens can avail nothing, We
have heard the question of resumption
and the schemes for adjusting the
currency discussed from every conceiv-
able stand-pointof financial ingenuity !;
but any measure adopted, however
wise, can never be one-half so potent
as that simple productive power which
grows with our annual growth and
expands with the development of our
resources. If We take the history Of
the past fifteen years as guide, we
shall readily perceive that time alone
may accomplish all that is required to
remedy present evils. Following the
like ratio of progress, the present
redundant volume of the currency
will all be absorbed by the business Of
the country at the end of fifteen years.
A nation, like an individual, can only
work his way out of debt by the slow
process of developing the value of his
property. Fifteen years hence our
greatly expanded resources, our in
creased productive power, and the
greater volume of our products seeking
exchange, will bring the value OF gold
and paper-money to a closeapproxima-
ton. Besides, our present annual
gold product Of $l00,000,000 would
of itself nearly suffice to pay Off the
national debt in fifteen years. The
volume of our currency will rest upon
no doubtful basis then, and resumption
must come naturally and necessarily if
not accomplishedsooner by extraneous
means but so long as the currency
continues disproportionate to the COM
mcrcial necessities of the country, we
must suffer financial disturbance.
Any decided Improvement in trade is
therefore to be hailed as a substantial
advance made toward the final accom-
plishment of the great national
purpose. 40,gt

PHILADELPHIA, MACH 4, 1868.
During the impeachment excite
ment Of the last few days the daily
papers have rcapcd a harvest. Their
bulletin boards were covered with ex-
clamation points resembling lines Of
soldiers standing on their heads, and
suggesting TO the crowds who stopped
to read, a country again in arms.
Notwithstanding the loud display Of
the boards, and the louder yells of the
newsboys it was evident that the agi-
tation was only on the surface. But
few believed thatany serious difficulty
would occur. That unerring barome-
ter of public feeling-the gold market
remained steady throughout the
turmoil. The paper which had the
most editions and presented the most
startling head lines, had the largest
"run." The sale Of paper depends
very much on the laoonic headings
which give the cue to the newsbo5s.
On cold morning one of these enter
prising youngsters was found crying as
if his heart would break. A gentle-

THE Charter elections were held in
New York State on the 3rd, in anum-
Der of places. In Utica the Demo-
Gratis elected their Mayor by 4S7,
about 20 less majority than they had
in November. In Auburn the Re
publicans succeeded by an increased
majority. In Elmira the Democrats
gained about one hundred over last
year. In Rochester owing TO peculiar
local causes, their Mayor was re-elcct-
ed by SSS majority, an increase of III
over the vote Of last November. In
Ithaca the result was-Republican
majority, III; gain since last spring,
%; gain since last November, 1l3.

THE Democratic Rebels of Missis-
sippi are preparing to defeat the new
Constitution, even before it is COM
pleted. A letter from jackson says:
"Rebels have been sending the ne
groes out of the State, scattering them
in every way, and | do not believe we
couldpoll onehalfof there registered vote.
Our friends at the North must stand
by us now in our hour of trial. 1t
requires stout heart for a loyal man
to live here. If the State should be
admitted into the Union, | would re-
main otherwise / would quit in an
hours time, for under such circum-
stances the life of no Northern man
would be safe, and no power save that
of the Almighty could shield the
Southern Republicans from outrage"

The Court Organized

An exchange of Saturday says. tho
High Court of Impeachment COM
pteted its organization yesterday and
issued its summons to the President to
appear and plead to the Articles. On
Friday, the 18th, he will come per-
sonally into the Court and make his
answer. With the service of the sum-
mons he is held to be technically in
Court within the meaning of the law.
The case may 60 on at the appointed
day, even if he fails to render himself
before his judges. But that is not
looked for.

WASHINGTON, March Z, 1861
The President took decided position
to-day relative to the status of Gen.
Thomas and has invited him to hereaf-
ter attend the Cabinet meetings. Such
business as reaches the Executive rela-
tive to the War Department will be
turned over to Gen. Thomas as Secre-
tary of War ad interim. Those who
favor impeachment say that this course
will necessitate another article against
the President.
INTELLIGENCE reached here from
Richmond to-day that Judge Under
wood has released the bondsmen of
JEFF. Davis. IL is believed that this is
done owing to the extreme improba-
bility of Davis ever being brought to
tIial.

Was ita good deed to rsbele Was It
bad one to encounter and suppress
rebellion The people of New
Hampshire had their opinion upon
these questions during the war, and
have they any reason to change that
opinion? Chauncey Burr say they
have, and so says Franklin Pierce,
and so says Henry Clay Dean. Pray,
what has occurred to make New-Hamp-
shire alter her mind? No soldiers
were braver on the battlefield than
the soldiers of that State, and here
comes a gentleman by the significant
name of Burr, andtells them that they
were fighting for nothing, and that
the South really conquered them,
while another gentleman proposes to
burn all their battle flags, and to de-
molish the tombstone of their compan-
ions dead upon the field of honor! A
very curious way this of winning votes
although it seems to be based upon the
assumption that New Hampshire SOL
dier left his brains at the South, and
came home non cOmpos meatis, andre-
iolcing in spurious and delusive glory.
These are arguments to offer to men
who sllulked, or men who deserted, to
towards and to bounty jumpers, and
not to those who served honorably and
and valiantly. Having been tried in
in New-Hampshire, they will next be
tried in Connecticut, and upon
broader and more general scale during
the Presidential canvass. They show
a sort Of bad candor, for which we are
duly grateful, and which we bave
nothing to fear.

The suppression of indecent pic
torials in some of our cities, has sug-
gcsted a new field wherein the corrupt
in heart and vitiated in morals are
working and pandering to the vulgar
mind, Democratic papers, so-called,
have taken up the cue, and from the
venal press of the city we see the ball
returned by the least respectable of
the country journals of that caste.
This artistic fondness for creating
lcwd and wicked thoughts among the

both classes ofjournalists, alike shocking
to good taste and chastc manners.
Would it not be well if Democratic
journalists cannot regulate the matter

A CORRECT POSITION.

The N. Y. Tribune says "When-
ever the Republican party, or any other
party sees fit to advertise in the
Tribune we expect pay therefor, though
we frequently make deductions when
our own party is the customer. This
is the correct position for a newspaper
to take. We hold that party journal
is bound by its good faith to advocate
the principles and support the candi-
dates Of the party, but when it uses
the advertising space of paper for
its own purpose, it becomes matter
of business, and the party should be
charged as any other customer, Then,
on settlement days, if the proprietors
of the journal choose to abate a part,
or all of the account, that is their
business. A party has no legitimate
claim upon its newspaper, except that
itshall sustain its principles and tickets
editorially. Advertising meetings,
&C., is quite another thing.-We have
adopted this as our platform in the
coming campaign, and shall eight it
on that line !"
