Since the Adjournment of the Leg.

press of the State has denounced il
without stint. No term has been too
harsh to be employed. The whole
vocabulary has been ransaked for
terms of opprobrium. This whole

the majority was largely Republican,
has show of honesty, but the virtu-

men whom they pronounced TO be all

the canvass of last fall. The Phia-

Republican, but not professedly y par

the matter. 1t says:

The conductors of the press knew
what they were about. They knew
that many of the candidates were not
good men, nor honest, nor able. They
knew that the nominations were made
through corrupt bargaining in some
cases, and barefaced lying in others.
They did not, generally, urge the
people to put forward their best men.
The Republican press deliberately
furnished an unreliable majority In
attacking it after adjournment they

GEORGE B. GooDLASDKR, Editor,
.T,,sl as U-ns Predicted!

The Democratic party have, ever
since the war began in 1861, told
our political opponents that they
would never be satisfied with the
abolition of slavery alone, and now
that fact is fully demonstrated. Not
outstanding the Constitution of Penn
sylvania expressly declares that none
but the free ,ohite citizens Of this Com
montpedlh shall be uoters, the Radical
party who have had control of the
rcins of government since that time,
have at last succeeded in foisting
Negro Suffrage upon the country
without the consent Of the people.
Upon this subject the Bedford Gazette
In Iatu Issuv, saJs.
nOh. how they used to deny it
The negroes would never vote in
Pennsylvania, at least not without
leaving the question of their right to
the ballot TO the voice of tho people
Such was the positive and solemn
assurance given by the Radical leaders
TO their trusting followers. But now
the scales are falling from the eyes
of the betrayed and outraged masses
of their party.
Many Republicans" who came to
Bedford on Tuesday Of last week, be-
lieving the talk about the adoption OF
tbe Fifteenth Amendment to be mere
"copperhead lies" witnessed with
their own eyes, the negro paradein
honor Of the consummation Of the
stealthy trick by which the whites
are compelled to stand on the same
political level with the blacks. The
unbelieving are at last convinced
Democratic prophecy has been fulfilled
TO the letter. The assertion that the
Radical leaders intended to force ne.
gro suffrage upon the people was not
u "copperhead lie" after all, but the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. There can be no denial
now. There can be no blinking a
fact which slares all men in the face.
The negroes of Pennsylvania, arc now
by the action of the Radical party
the political equals of the white men
Of the State, and they have already
been taken in full communion by the
leaders of that party The amalga-
nation of white Radicals and negroes
is now an accomplished fact. 1t only
remains for the white men who for
merly voted the so called Republican"
ticket TO decide whether they really
consider themselves no better than
the negroes whom their leaders have
thrust upon them as their political
associates"

A VIVID PIcTURE.-Mr. Marshall,
Of Illinois, is said to be one Of the
-.---~ 5.H--A -------~--- - O--5---
lie is a man who SETS his face squarely
against the iniquitous tariff which
Radical leaders have imposed upon
the people of tho country. The
following paragraph is from a speech
made by him in the House the other
day, and fully attests his ability, as
well as his adherence Of this scheme
to plunder the people;
The farmer starting to his work has shoe put
on his horse with nails taxed 6T per cent driven
by hammer taxed "a per cent; cuts stick with
a knife taxed so per cent; bitches his horse to
plow taxed 80 per cent, with chains taxed
81 per cent He returns to his home NJ night
and lays his wcaried limbs on a sheet taxed IS
per cent. and covers himself with blanket that
has paid $50 per cent. He rises in the morning
puts on his humble flannel shirt taxed so per
cent, his coat taxed SO per cent, shoes taxed 35
per cent, and hat taxed 20 per ccnt; opens
family worship by a chapter from his Bible taxed
rs per cent. and kneels to his God on an humble
carpet taxed $50 per cent. lie sits down to his
humble meal and cats from plate taxed 40 per
cent, with a knife and fork s5 per cent, drinks
his cup Of coffee taxed q per cent or tea IS per
cent, with sugar 70 per cent, and seasons bis
food with salt taxed loo per cent, pepper 297, or
spice taxed 397 per cent. lie looks around upon
his wife and children, all taxed in the same way,
takes chew Of tobacco taxed 100 per cent, or
lights cigar taxed $50 per cent. and then thanks
his stars that he lives in the freosi aud best Gov
ernment under heaven. II on the Fourth Of july
he wants to have the star-spangled banner on
real bunting he must pay the American Bunting
Company Of Massachusetts, 100 per cont. for this
glorious privilege. No wonder sir, that the far.
mer is struggling In poverty, and conscious Of a
wrong somewhere, although he knows not whence
ehe blow comes that is ehaining him to a life Of
endless toll, and reducing bis children to beggary

r,ocs,ro, or Republication.

IL Is interesting 10 look over the Re.
publicnn journals and detect all
through them their fears that their
party is "going to the dogs" The
Press is particularly nervous on this
subject. II says; "The Republican
party gives evidence that it is com
posed of elements not calculated TO
give strength to great political or
ganization." And the reason assign
ed is that there is not enough submis-
sion to the Republican leaders. There
is too much free thought, too much
personal independence, and too many
delight in displays of "magnanimity,"
which in such cases means little more
than allowing opponents to take ad-
vantage. The Press secs the question
clearly, no doubt. During tho war,
they could by force of military hon
ors, profitable positions and power OF
tho 6ayonet force men into the Re
publican party, and hold them there
but since the strong military arm has
relaxed q little its hold, men are be-
ginning to think independently and
the moment they began to reason
among themselves, that moment the
Radical party began TO decline, and
soon, very soon the country will wit
ness its fall. Although the Press may
consider ita duty for Republicans to
nurse their hate and passion, and
blindly follow Radical leaders, they
have Forney's history to back them
in leaving a party that believe TO be
wicked and corrupt. lie was once an
honorable leader of the Democratic
party, respected by all; but he trans
| ferred himself from Bnchnnnn's ad.
ministration TO the enemy out of spite
to Mr.. Buchanan; but be hopes to see
his party perpetuated but he fear.
and probably knows its near dissolu
tion and be sees the time when he
will stand "a noble wreck in ruinious
perfection" in dilapidated party
Therefore he tugs and strains both
fibre and brain to arrest the tendency
to abandon the party without much
age, and no history, but of blood, tur,
moil, debt and dishonor. But he
asks TO have the party saved only
from personal motives. He breads
to stand as centre pole the negro
party. He sees his white associates
leaving him alone in his glory, and
he cries out in anguish not to be left
alone. But his party will wane faster
than the years, nevertheless, and il
he lives but a few moons he can sur
vey himself a wreck on the Radical
shore. His followers of yesterday
will have been taken up by the party
with an honorable history, and of q
bright and vigorous future, the good
old Democracy.

NEGROES Now DEMAND OFFIcE.-
A negro orator from Washington talk
ed very plainly to the white Radicals
of Chambersburg at the celebration
of the Fifteenth Amendment. He in.
formed them that the colorcd voters
held tho balance Of power in Frank.

mand a share OF the Offices. II is
likely that they will insist upon being
represented both upon the borough
and the county tickets. That is no
more than was TO have been expect.

The american .yarv.

For all our great expenditure dur
ing the war, IL seems we really have
nothing TO show but some iron. clad.
that are only valuable to defend our
ports, and are worth nothing to main,
tain our rights at sea. So says the
Secretary of the Navy; and Wash.
burn, Of the Committee on Apprupri.
ations, recently said that our navy
was the derision of Europe.
Mr.. Hale, in recent speech, com.
pared the American navy with that
of other nations. The British navy
had a total of 7l9 vessels of all classes
with a tonnage TO its commercial of
one eighth. The French navy con.
sists OF 430 vessels, including so ar.
mored ships. The Russian fleet in
the Baltic alone consists Of 81 vessels.
with tonnage Of ll2,637, nearly
double the force of the whole Ameri.
ean feet in all its squadrons. Spain
had l2S vessels, and had now in the
Cuban waters alone 6l vessels mount
ing 800 guns-fve per cent. more OF
naval power than the United States
could bring against her if all our
squadrons were scoped together
Even Prussia, which had no naval
outgrowth or ambition until recently,
had navy Of SO vessels. carrying
547 guns-twice the number Of YES.
seis, and one and a half times the
number ofguns Of the American navy.
Even little Denmark, n fifth rate Eu-
ropean power, on the verge of ami
hilation, bad a navy of SO vessels,
carrying 400 guns.
Well, if we have not as big a navy,
We have at least as big debt as any
OF them. And We can pay as much
money in taxes every year even if we
can show very little for the taxes.
