NEGROES IN OFFICE.

President Grant has appointed
number Of negroes TO fill important Of
fees, among Others a Philadelphia Af-
rican named Ebenezer D. Bassett as
Minister to Hayti. Secretary Bout
we'll has appointed several blacks to
clerkships in the Treasury Depart
ment, in the room of white men who
had served honorably in the federal
army, removed. These things are done
in order to hold the ''eolored" vote in
the South, as the fieid-hands in the
kingdom of Reconstruction are getting
tired Of the deception of the carpet bag
gers and are fast ranging themselves
on the side of their former masters.
But as the appointment of every ne
gro, disappoints at least half a-dozen
white expectants, it is difficult to see
how the administration will gain vo-
ters by this policy. 1t serves TO show,
however, to what miserable shifts men
are compelled TO resort, who dare not
rely on the justice of their cause and
the good sense of the people. Had the
President adopted liberal and gener-
Gus policy toward the Southern people,
had he Withdrawn the mailed hand of
military rule and permitted the civil
law to have its course, had he assured
the people of the 'Ioyal' states that
they should be protected in their right
to regulate the suffrage question for
themselves, instead OF asking them to
surrender that right, and had he select
ed his office-hOlders from among the
upright and worthy members OF his
party, he could have trusted to the in
telligence and patriotism of his coun-
trymen to sustain him in every emer-
gency. But he ehoss to do otherwise,
and now he is forced to temporize and
make terms with all sorts of dirty
trieksters and cannot even obtain the
support of the negroes without paying
for it by appointments to Office. Veri-
~, howare the mighty fallen
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-06-11

THE question now at issue before
the people of Pennsylvania is not
merely whether twenty thousand ne
gro ballots be added to the radical vote
in this State, but whether the ignorant
field hands of Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana shall make laws for the in
telligent white men of Pennsylvania.
The question is whether the ignorant
and brutal Voodoo worshippers of the
South, ignorant of the ballot, and
careless of its privileges, driven to
the polls in herds by carpet bag mas
ters, whom they have exchanged for
their overseers, shall dictate constitu-
tions and forms of government for
Pennsylvanians 1t is not so much
whether negroes shall vote in Pennsyl-
vania, as IL is whether the voice other
citizens shall by overwhelmed and
their constitution abrOgated by hurl-
ing the ignorant blacks of the recon-
structed States on the ballot box, at
the bidding of their radical owners.
If republican government can stand
this shock, in conjunction with the
corruption of the legislature, who shall
say that our political institutions.can-
not defy every assault? One of the
schemes by which the enemies of free
government seek its destruction is to
degrade the ballot by putting it into
the hands of ignorant negroes, who are
at the mercy of the designing and cor
rupt. When the people shall grow
weary of the evils thus engendered,
the radical enemies of the republic will
be ready to proclaim the failure OF pop
ular government. Those who seek to
destroy the Constitution of PennsyIva-
MIA by invoking theaid of the Negroes of
the South, are not the friends Of equal
suffrage, but they are the enemies of
free government.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-06-11

The Democratic party is getting
ready for mighty wrestle with the
giant eorruptions that tug at the vitals
of the nation. Radicalism, with all its
monstrous fallaeies, its grinding exae-
tions, its horrible despotism, is to be
overthroWn. To this end the Democ-
racy are rallying as one man to this
end we are TO be "a united party, frown-
ing upon every effort to disorganize
and closing our ranks in solid phalanx
to march against the common foe.
Wo be to the man who would bring
diseord where unanimity and concord
should and must prevail "If thine
eye offend thee, pluck it outr' If
there be traitors in the camp, if there
be men who gained the confidence of
Democrats only to betray them, if
there be those who violate their pledged
word, let their treason be proclaimed
from the house-tops, let all men know
them and beware of them. Verify,
their places shall know them no more
forever!"
There is no middle ground. He that
is not for US is against us. He that
gives aid and comfort to the enemy,
commits the overt act which places
him beyond the pale of the party. He
is JieJo de Sc : he has cut his own politi-
cal throat and those who approve the
act are accessory to his self-murder.
We are led to these reflections by the
muttering and grumbling of those dis
contented spirits who are never satis-
fed with party nominations. For
years their complaints found a sub
ject for their qaeruIous tongues in
what they styled the Borough Clique"
They hOwled and ragged until their de-
mands for the Crawford County Sys-
tenn" were complied with, and now,
after The very first trial of the system
they elamored for, they murmur and
fret as much as ever. Nothing but Of
fee can satisfy such men. They care
nothing for principle. 1t is only the
spoils they are after.
Stand from under, ye GROWERS and
grumblers! The Democracy cannot
wait to listen to your tales ofwo. We
have other work to perform. We are
tearing down the temple of Dagon
erected by the radicals, and if you are
buried beneath the rubbish it will be
because you stand on dangerous and
forbidden ground. Stand from under
If you will not help us, get out of the
way or expect to be crushed

WE call attention to the prospectus
for the GAZETTE for the campaign,
printed elsewhere in this issue. The
terms are so low that our friends
throughout the country will find no
difficulty in-giVing the paper a wide
circulation among those who are at
present without it. There are signs Of
a fierce battle in this county at the
coming election. Every Democrat is
expected TO be at his post and hum
dreds OF recruits can and will be made
from the other side. But thorough,
vigorous, and effective work must be
done, and in this the GAZETTE viii DO
its usual part.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-06-11

DEMOCRATS should groWl and grum-
BILE aud murDur and mutter about their
nominations as much as possible. 1t
will do their political opponents so
much good. We Democrats were drafted
and hunted and DISTINGUISHED and
mobbed and now the negro is to- be
made our equal and we degraded to the
level oftte negro. OF course we ought
quarrel now, jusl to let radicals get
more power and scourge US still more
severely. Adversity makes philoso-
pliers Of some people. 1t ought TO have
its lesson for disappointed Democrats.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-06-11
ANo POLICY"

Grant, in his letter accepting the
radical nomination for the Presidency,
declared that he would have mo pol
icy" He is fulfilling his promise in
this regard. He has no financial pol
icy. He has no foreign policy
He has no Reconstruction" pol
icy. His Secretary of the Treasury is
at his wits end trying to find policy.
But the more he seeks clew by which
to escape from the financial laby-
rinth, the more he becomes entangled
in its mazes. And the country be-
comes entangled with him. Gold
goes up. Greenbacks depreciate.-
Hard times, dull times, come. The far
mer finds no market for hisgrain. The
merchant sells but few goods. The
mechanic is at a loss for purchaser Of
the products of his skill. The laborer
is thrown out of employment or works
for reduced wages. The wheels Of
business stand still. Then the Secre-
tary of State gives instructions to Min
lister Motley, but nobody knows what
they are. The United States Senate
'breathes out threatenings and slaugh-
terri against England, and the fiery
fulminations of Sumner and Chandler
shake the continent to its foundations.
War is the word, but Grant accepts an
invitation to the "National Peace
Jubilee" at Boston, and the oracles
give out the pacific intentions of the
administration. "Grim visaged war
hath smooth'd his wrinkled front. -
Thus peace or war with England is to
remain an open question, for Grant
has "no policy" on the subject. Next
come committees from the Southern
states who represent to Grant that the
condition Of these states is thus or so,
and these are followed by other com
mittees who contradict the statements
ofthose preceded them. The Pres
ident had promised the first to do GER
tain things, but after hearing the last,
he is in doubt whether he will keep
his promises or not. Like certain
Justice of the Peace of whom we have
heard, he could decide the case very
easily when but one side of it was be-
forehim, but when both sides werepres-
ented to him he was exceedingly puz-
zled. 4 cabinet council is called. The
result is that Grants pledges are repu-
dated, for, you see, he has mo policy"
And in this wise the Ship of State
founders on, without rudder or COM
pass, her master trusting blindly to
luck to carry her safely through the
storms ard breakers which threaten.
Much ado was made about the policy
of Andrew Johnson perhaps it will
yet be found that it is better to have a
President whose administration of the
affairs of government is directed by
well-dehned principles than one who
has "no policy" and so little princi
pie that he cannot ever keep his pledge
of honor.

The New York san of the 1st inst.
says: Fhe friends of Cuba are using
every precaution to evade the little
host OF Spanish spies who have been
employed to watch their movements
and report them at certain office on
Broadway, and it is matter of sincere
con5ratulation that they kept their OPP
pcratlons a mystery until publicity
ceased to be injurious to their cause.
They have according to report pre-
sented yesterday by the agents of the
Spanish Government sent thirteen eX-
petitions to Cuba, all of which have
been safely landed. The largest num-
ber of men OH one of these expeditions
was $50 and the smallest 30
The materials of war shipped in
these vessels including six batteries of
artillery and an immense supply of
Spencer rifles and the whole number
OF men which they carried is estimated
at 1000. This full brigade of veterans

Cuban patriots who estimates, howev-
er, the accession to Cespedes' army
from the United States at eight thou
sand men. Seven Of the expeditions
sailed from New York, three from
Baltimore and three from Florida.
1t is said that all the volunteers who
left New York for Cuba are In the cav
airy arm OF the service. The use Of
sabres has been discontinued, the Spen-
Ger rifle being deemed more effective.
Another expedition is on foot and
the veterans, of which it will he
mainly composed, will consist of ex-
officers of the United States army.

New YORK TRIBUNE

NEW YORK, Nov. Is, 1868.
Ny Dear Sir: / have yours of the
10th. Its leading positions have long
been understood and appreciated in
this quarter. Now hear me.
Every year one thousand of your
rebels die, and one thousand or more
of their sons become of age. You can't
disfranchise THEM. You have now
five thousand majority. Six years at
furthest viii convert this into rebel
majority of one thousand. Then the
rebels will be enfranchised in spite of
you, and the black will be left under
foot-and you underestimate these at
two thousand.
Go your own way, and see if the
rebels don't have you underfo0t in tess
than six years.
/ speak from a wide experience
when | tell you that your house is
built on the sand. 1t cannot stand
Every year will see the passions of the
war cool aud the denaud for amnesty
strengthened. N0tC you can amnesty
the rebels. Soon The question will be,
Shall they amnesty yoas Lock at
Kentucky and Maryland, aud read
your certain fate in theirs.

SOME Of the radical politicians are
very busy trying to stir up dissensions
among the Democrats. They talk up
independent" candidates quite elo-
quently. They want monkey to pull
their chestnuts out of the fire. We
put Democrats on their guard against
these tricksters. Whenever a man
says independent candidate" to you,
set him down as an emissary of these
fellows.
