The Last President of the United States

| In 1862, gentleman, then, but not now'
a resident of Chester county, paid visit to
Wheatlund, Ian. county. He said on re-
ceiving the hospitalities Of Mr.. BUCHANAN,
that she had come to pay his respects to
the last President of the United States" To
q pointed negative from the Ex-President,
he replied--'I am firmly convinced that
America has seen its last Republican Presi-
dent in the person OF JAMES BUCHANAN.
Whatever may have prompted the re-
mark, so far it has proved prophetic. We
have had no President of the Unied States
since that period. The original thirteen are
not now united The administration of
ABM. LINcoLN commenced with acknowl-
edged usurputions upon the Constitution
which was the bond of Union, and it closed
leaving the country governed, not by the
Constitution and civil law, but by tyran-
nical "miiitt0y necessity"
His successor, ANDREW JOHNSON, made
effort, but failed to restore the Union and
civil rule. The despotic twe-thirds of the
Senate and House, welded to pldnder, rob
berry and corruption, were too strong for
him, and endeavored to parcipitate the
country into anarchy or despotisn.
president GRANT, entered upon the du-
ties of Executive officer aOm6tdNy. He is
shorn of many of the high duties and re-
sponsibilities of his Office, and, however
brave as soldier, lie manifests cowardice
or seniGty as a civilian. He is emphatically
tool of the money-power of the country !;
and his cupidity leads him to imagine him
self Caesar. -E-
The rapid progress made in the destruc-
ton of the Republic, has emboldened the
bondholders, who hope to secure unlimited
sway, and they have started a leader in New
York.
1t will be seen that Radicalism has at last
made its appearance without disguise. The
time was when advocating Il monarchy i'll
this country would scarely be tolerated.
But that was when the people were Domo-
cratic and put their trust in the wisdom of
that great and old party organization
The first number of 'The Imperialist"
makes its appearance to-day. 1t advocates
the abrogation of a republican of democratic
form of government for the United States
and the substitution of q monarchy, on the
assumption that the former il a failure.
The name Of the editor or publisher does

tablished to give expression to opinions
long held and cherished by thousands of in
telligent men and women in all parts of the
country, who will hail its advent as the be-
ginning of new era III the political histo-
ry of America" 1t is in form quarto, con-

AWHTTE GIRL STOLEN BY NEGRO MAN.
Mr.. Alexander Carson, a respectable far
mer living in Talbot county, Md, near
Hillsborough, came to Easton on Friday
night, in search of his daughter, who had
mysteriously disappeared from her fathers
house on Thursday night We learn the
following facts in connection with the mat
ter: A mulatto man named John Hall
sometime ago was lodged in jail by officer
Dillen for gambling. Mr.. Carson baiied
him out, and took him to work on his farm.
Since then his daughter, who is nearly
grown up, has been teaching him how to
read and write, in consideration for which
service he has been practicing his arts on
his innocent and unsuspecting preceptress,
to induce her to leave her home and follow
him to the city. On Fridry at noon, they
both took passage at Miles River Ferry for
Baltimore on the steamer Isaac p. Smith.
1t is said that the negro's mother lives in
Baltimore 1t is needless to say, the young
girls family are in great distress about her.
She is bright, intelligent girl, and it is
great pity that she should be ruined in this
disgraeeful manner.-EttSto. Stctr. .r
Mr. Carson is former citizen of Della
ware, having moved to Talbot about two
years since His daughter will be ID years
old sometime in Apnl-Dento" Union.
P. S.-Sipce the above was i'll type both
parties have been arrested. They were
found in Baltimore and brought over on
Wednesday. The negro was placed in jail,
and the girl returned to her parents.
Ras~Gen. Grant is credited with the fol
lowing remark upon the threatened Indian
war in Alaska:
I've been thinking about that country
good deal. The newspapers say we are in
danger of an Indian war up there think
I've settled on plan for stopping that. If
one breaks out, believe 1 viii withdraw all
the troops, and then there won't be any
thing there for the Indians to fight
And Radical papers copy this as an evi-
dence of wonderful sagacity-never stop
ping to think that the same principle is
quite applicable to the South, and that if
the South is disturbed" and if the Ku-
Klux-Klans are rampant things in that Sec
ton would be far more quiet if the troops
We're withdrawn, and especially if such
