An Expensive Law.

If the Radicals are not soon put out of
power, there will not be money enough in
the country to pay the expenses of our
State and National Governments. They
are constantly inventing new ways 10
spend the peoples money. The Registry
Law passed at the last session of our
Legislature turns out to be an expensive
thing, Tho City Commissioners Of Phil
adelphia have made application to the
Councils for an extra appropriation of
eighty-one thousand dollars to carry out
the law in that city. eat this rate it will
take half a million dollars to execute it
throughout the State! Thus while trade
in all its branches is languishing and
business men have hard work to keep
their heads above water, our Radical
Congress spends millions on the Freed
mems Bureau and our Radical State Leg
isIature spends half a million u put in
execution an unnecessary and vexatious
Registry Law. Is it not time to have a
change ?-Erchange.

Hon. ASA PACKER.

We notice a movement among the Dem
ocratic masses of this state. favoring the
nomination of the HON. ASA PACKER, FOR
PRESIDENT, at the Democratic National
Convention to be held at New York, on
the 4th proximo. Judge Packer is man
not without fame neither abroad nor in
his own country. One so intimately con-
nected with the working, industrial mass
es-with whom he has always been friend
and co-worker-one who has spent the
best years of his life in improving and de-
veloping the resources of BIZ. native state
and withal, one who, while yet in the vigor
andp prime of life and in all probability has
many years in which to use and enjoy his
hard earned fortune-deals it out with such
a willing heart and open hand-must needs
have strong hold on the confidence and
affections of the people. Judge Packer as
the candidate ofthe democracy would car
ry Pennsylvania by an overwhelming ma
jority and by his great talents and unas-
suming manners would honor and dignity
any position in the gift Of the people.
We most cheerfullv second his nomina-
tion to the Presidential chair.

WHAT WE MAY ExPEcT.-The Her
aid is showing what the country has TO
expect in the event of the election of
Grant and Colfax:
" Military despotism, supported by an
immense taxation and ruling at the will
of an oligarchy of arrogant politicians in
Congress, is what the Republicans have
Iabored for in the past Within this sim,
pie and comprehensive programme lie all
their principles. all their political ideas );
and for this programme they will labor
more ebergetically and with more resolute
persistency in the future. They will ex,
tend the sphere of its operation Also
Grant accepts their programme fully, un-
reservedly, slavshly, and deliberately
promises beforehand that he will oppose
no obstruction to it, that no "policy Of
his stands in the way Of the prcarranged
policy of the men who pull the wire, of
his political existence. If such a party
succeeds in electing such President, the
country can Judge what must be the re-
suit. What is the conduct of the impeach-
ment Managers in their present investi-
cation but foretaste Of what would fol-
low with such men in power? Here we
have all the personal rights of the citizen
invaded at once. Without any process of
law whatever, a man is deprived of his
liberty and thrust into cell at the mere
bidding of political bully. The secrecy
of the telegraph and post office is violated
as no man would dare to violate it in des-
potc France Men who do such a thing
merely because they have the power, will
know no limit but that of their power in
enforcing their will

RESULT OF THE WASHINGTON MU
NICIPAL ELECTION.
Niggers Take Possession of the Polls and
Drive Away the Whites.
EVIDENCES OF A DAsTARDLY swINDLE |!
BALLOT BOXES LEFT UNsEALED IN THE
HANDS OF THE RADICALS.

On Tuesday June 2nl, the following
dispatch appeared in all the daily news
papers: -
Washington, D. c., June 1st, 1861
At the municipal election to-day, Given,
Democrat was elected over Bowen,
Radical, by about 500 majority "a gain
of 5000 over last year, when the Radicals
aud Diggers carried the election.
But on Wednesday contradictory dis
patch appeared-the Radicals having,
between two days, " changed. the result.
The special correspondent of the Age at
the niggerized Capitol makes the follow
ing expose of the way it was done:
The municipal election which was held
in this city yesterday, was one OF the
most exciting contests ever witnessed in
the Federal metropolis, and when the re-
turns from every precinct in each Of the
seven ward, reached the police headquar-
tiers last night it was officially nounced
that Mr.. Given, the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, was elected by one hundred and
thirty eight majority-the Democrats
Carrying four out Of seven wards, and Sc
curing a majority of the city Councils on
joint ballot. This, result was telegraphed
all over the country last night and was
considered as well settled as anything can
be. 1t turns out to-day, however, that
the balIot-boxes, after the counting of the
votes, were left unsealed, and this NOM
ing the Judges of the Election met at the
City Hall, where a recount of the votes
was made. The result of this recount of
ballots in unsealed ballot-boxcs and in the
hands of Radical politicians, is that Mr.
Given is cheated out of his election, and a
majority Of seventy-four declared in favor
Of the Radical competitor, Sayles j. Bow
en-. This is cousi dered one of the most
dastardly election swindles ever perpetra-
ted in this part of the country, and has
given rise to the greatest Indignation on
the part Of the respectable citizens Of
Washington. In addition to this a large
number OF white voters were prevented
from dcpositing their ballots yesterday by
the niggers, who took possession of the
polls in some OF the precincts and by the
counivauce of Radical police, held them,
throughout the day. In spite of all tAls,
however, the Democrats have secured the
City Council. .and annIhilated a Radical
majority of Two thousand five huudi ed
last year.

The Interest Of the White Toilers of the
North in the Presidential Election.

To the unemployed poor of New York
a Presidential election, with all that it i'm
plies, is a matter of life and death. To
the wealthy it may be an exciting stimu-
lus the well-to-do, holiday, pastime -
but to the unemployed poor it is virtually
and actually matter Of life and DEATH
1t Is a battle which is to decide the fate of
millions, but it is we'll to remember that
it is battle in which the rich have no ad-
vantages over the poor in point of weap-
ons. The ballot is as effective in the
hands of mechaniesas in those of mil
lionaire. The one thing necessary is to
use it. Another point well worth remem-
bering is, that in elections numbers is the
only thing that tells, and the advantage of
numbers is ever on the side of the Democ
racy, for the toiing millions always out
number the men of leisure, and the De-
mocracy can truly say, "the poor are al
WAYS with u.s." A Democratic victory is,
therefore, emphatically the triumph of La
Dor, and is matter of as vital interest to
the poor woman who sews and stitches
fourteen hours out of the twenty four, as
to any Presidential candidate. There Is
not dweller in miserable attic in New
York whose hard lot would not be render
ed more enduraby by the overthrow OF
the accursed party that for eight long
years have been practicing on the life Of
the Republic, that reaped a profit from
every blow the artisan struck, and every
stitch the needlewoman sewed; that drove
the poor into miserable tenements, in or
der that room night be made for their pal
atial mansions, and force them to pay tax
es, not on their incomes-that would be a
slight matter--but on every morsel they
ate and every rag they wore, that the
bonds of the rich may 90 untaxed and their
interest be paid in gold.
We hear enough of equality nowadays
to sicken any one of the word. Of course
social equality between man and man no
one is mad enough to propose; but social
equality with the Mar and Brother is
quite different thing. Now, there is one
species of equality that Democratic vic.
tory would be likely to secure-an equali-
ty that every fair minded man would like
to see, but which these equality prater:
never think OF, ard that is equality Of Taxa
tion. We are for equality of taxation >
let the burden be distributed evenly al
over, and let the rich man bear his owr
load. We had enough Of the substitute
business during the war-more thar
enough, heaven knows; but let il end
with the war. The poor shouldered mus.
EatS for tho rich then muSt thev shoall

This is the question the next Presiden-
tial election is to decide. Before it every
other pales. In comparison with it every
question is of minor importance. a few
months from now and we shall know
whether privileged class is to be saddlcC
on the country whether caste, under tht
most insidious form. is to prevail, with the
taxpayer as pariah -NetropOlitan Record

A SENsATIoN-AN ELoPEMENT.-On
Sterling, a white Yankee schoolmaster,
who has spent year among the niggers
of this town, with the pretence of teaching
the young colored idea how to shoot, and
the old colored idea how to vote, has sud-
denly committed a deed which creates
general remark among the citizens, aud
removes him, temporarily, at least from
his sphere of bis usefulness. He, of course
preferred the aristocratic society of the
darkies, and took up his bed and board
ing among them. ignoring the existence of
the white trash altogether. Not unnatu-
rally, he formed an attachment for one of
our buxom maidens of the copper colored
persuasion, named Alice, a very excellent
and useful aid to a most trusty washer
woman of this city. Miss Alice, it seems
reciprocated the passion. and on Monday
night the happy pair took their departure
for parts unknown. The general feeling
among all classes of our people is, that
Miss Alice has made bad bargain, and
married far beneath her station, as she was
a lady of fine appearance, with most inyi-
ting physical conformation. We are sor-
ry for Alice.-Smmmit [ Mss.) Times.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE-On Tuesday, of
last week, the House Radicals expelled
General Morgan (Democrat), of Ohio, from
his seat. and gave it to the contestant, De-
Iano, Radical. This is another of those
outrages on the right of the people to be
represented by representatives oftheir own
choice, which has made this Congress and
the last so infamous. General Morgan
was fairly elected to the seat he held, and
the Radicals on the Election Committee
who signed the majority report against
him knew It. He comes from district
(the Thirteenth) which has uniformly gone
Democratic, and will no doubt return him
next fall, by two or three thousand major
ity.
