is apparent from the very general dis

(tunmitteJ the error of Wing to hasty
in trie matter ot electing our nominecf.
More than one third of the delegates
pruaenl camcuninbtructed or impressed
with the belief that the selwling ot
ndida'.rt whs premature, and, how
ever untrue it may bo, the belief can
not Lo dispelled that undue influences
were used iu the matter of instructing
delegates. That almost in every in
stance two meetings had been held iu
each township; the first time delegates
were not instructed, (the true intent
of the call being recognized) the tecond g, or wonn by which they may ao
time instructions seem to have been complish their end?. Defure the war
given. Considerable excitement was
produced in the Convention by one of
its members broaching what we have
just stated, and loud denials made. !
Yet for all thi, there was a chafing j
among certain of the managers that !
faid plainly "It is of no use, gentlc-
tlemen, wo are in the majority and
will do as wo like I" We aie disin
terested concerning tho claims of can
didates but would have preferred to
had the nomination more unanimous
and entirely free of suspicious designs.
The fear is abroad in the party that our
ooufereea are instructed for a teond
man and, if so, all hopes of Greene
County getting her dues are lost.
It is a virtual acknowledgment of not
being able to carry our point, which
we are far from acknowledging. If
the action of the Convention is to
stand and Capt. J. B. Donley is nom
inated in District Conference for Con
gress, well and good. If he is not
it is o well and good ! Time will
toll.
Tue Governor, and the Republi
can members of the Legislature of this
State have signed a do'cument.addrcss
cd to Senator Cameron, instructing
him, in the event of Mr. Wade's
succeeding to the Presidency, to recom
mcncT the transfer of Mr. Stanton from
the War" to the Treasury Department.
In reply Mr Stanton announces it to
be hia purpose, as soon as his successor
is confirmed to retire from active life.
He declines any office cither of honor
profit. This determination Ave deeply
regret. No public man has served the
eottntry more nobly, and his retirement
will be regreted by every patriotic
citiren. The name aud services of the
great "War Secretary will live in history
along with thoso of Lincoln, Grant
and Farragut.
In defiance of the many hindrances
thrown ia the way of reconstruction
by Democracy the 6outhern States are
one by one falling into line. Arkansas
Jias adopted tbo constitution by a
large majority, and the entire Republi
can Uoket hu been elected by a major
ity of over 30,000. Her Sonatora arc
chosen and will aoon be admitted.
Thus it would Lave been throughout
the Sooth if her people bad not listened
to the advioe of Andrew Johnson and
the Copperheads of the North.
We print elsewhere Mr. R. W
Downey's card declining the duty of j
Count Committee man daring our
coming campaign. Mr. Downey ia

There is an influence at work on

vent it, that the education of the
American people is agaiuet it; all this
may be sound reasoning, but your true
Democrat can't sec it. Ho knows the
negro is after amalgamation he sees
the abolitionists and radicals want to
force Democrats to marry upgros, and
no one can deceive hiiu because he is
satisfied the negro is bound to make
himself as good as a white man, and

constant fear and abhorrence abjut the
negro. Hate of the black man under
lies and animates all that is Democrat
ic. Without this hate, Democracy iu
the north would be an inaniiuata car

to rattle ita dry bones and make a show
of life.

The Copperhead worn to have tho
wurc as well a the nam? of the snake.
With them nothing is too low, or vul-
the parties were nearly equal in respec
tability mid influence, but ihc course of
hat partv during tho rebellion was
1J'"''1 " draw into its ranks all the
vile and bad of the country. Now
the nto-piincipie of modern democra-
cv is hatred.
1. Hatred ofthe ncgr), Not hatred
of him as a criminal, a rebel and ene
my, as one whom it is our duty to
hate, but ne simply a negro, because
his skin is black. They eay tlierc in a
naitrahutred of the African in the
hearts of white men. This we wholly
deny. The only hatred is that engon
ilcicd by ignorance aucl the passions.
To keep this alive appeals are made to
the ignorant ofthe country, Tories arc
invented and wide-spread of "outrage
by negroes," p. ml that inevitable bug
bear, "a war ofracw," is kepi constant
ly as a midnight tpectre to frighten
tho (un)terrifiod. What is the pur
pose of every democratic speech and
editorial but to increase tho prejudice
against the black man ? Men profess
ing lo have the love of God iu their
hearts, and with deadly hatred for
their fellow naa in their bossoms!
But some go farther than this and
claim the Hygro is not a human being,
Thus Brooks, l'layford H at, prate

plurality Ol races and tne
like, and that too, when there are black
men far their superiors iu all thai
makes a man. The more ignorant,
degraded and brute-liko a person is the
stronger is Ins hatred of the negro,
But this, like other offsprings of ig
norance, ia giving way before the
power of education, and cvendemoeri
cy must toon aboudon it.
2. Hatred and vituperation of their
opponeul. This displays itself par
ticularly in the names used to denote
the Republican party. Inacopv of
oue of their papera we find the follow
ing term?, "mougrcls, nigger worship
ers, nigger lovers, thieves, robbers,
murderers, tyrants, monarchists," to
gether with names too vile to be men
tioned here. Lincoln, Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan are ouracd with epithets
that would seem to iudieate their
authors had lieen raised in tho "Five
Points." Truly, "if you want to bam
to swear read a democratic paper."
3. Hatred of Religion. A loading
paper of this party has a columa head
ed "Religious," in which arc given
all the cases that can be beard of or
invented, of misdeeds by ministers and
other christians. A politician, a lead
er of their parly, said, "I would rath
er trust tho Democratic party in poli
tics, than God Almighty himself." . It
is well known there is not a christian
society in tho whole North composed
j of Democrats, and nothing is more J
'tS.ie liSajmcsbiirg
eommoa than for thuir journals to
raook Religion. For proof, I refer
to tho paper published not a hundred
milofrom hero. 'What kind of arti
cles are giveu in its ,:Ldie3' Col
umn ?"
4. ITatred of everything good. I
care not what question of right or
wrong presents itot-lf, Democrats will
take tho side ijf wrong as instinctively
as a duck to water. I learn that at
the late election a Democratic town
ship in Fayette Co., voted against tlie
common school law. Any reform, any
measure, any law that is intended to
glorify God and benefit man will
find iU opposersamoug the Democrats.

A CARD.
Editor Republican: I hereby
decline serving as a member of the
Greene County Republican Committee
the cnmiing year. The reason is that
I am of opinion the whole proceeding
of the Convention which appointed
the Committee is a magnificent swiii
dle the initiative of "a sell" of the
equality and manhood of tho Repub
licans of Greene- County. To this I
cannot consent, either directly or in
directly. I hope I may be mistaken
in this view of men, their actions and
combinations. Time and results, how
ever, will show whether I am correct
in my conjecture.

Democrats generally denounco the
the uew election registry law, which
is the very best evidence of ita utility.
They admit its many good qualities but
growl over the extravagant sum it will
cost tax-payers. Really there is no
excels over what it has hitherto co3t
bul supposing there is, if the law proves
itself by purifying the ballot box, the
will of the people is subserved . and
many thousands, perhaps millions, of
dollars saved from passing into the
clutches of those whose greed of office
is only excelled by that of money.

as to read this Committee shall have

County Committee and then passed.
A number of names were offered as
Chairman of the County Committee.
Quito a discussion ensued as to the
propriety of selecting a man outside of
the previously appointed Committee,
as Chairman. This was settled by
electing J. II. Wells, Chairman. .
The following resolutions expres
sive of th sense ofthe meeting, on the
questions of the day, were then read
and adopted:
Iietohed, That we believe "honesty
is the best of policy;" and that this
ra&xim applies as well to nations as to
individual men. The nation that re
pudiates its honest debts, forfeits the
respect and confidence of its sister na
tions, and, dishonors ita own character..
This great republic is an imperial
power; it excels in resources tlie an
cient monarchies of Europe, and has
before it a career of grandeur, a more
splendid history than that of Rome,
Republican, 'ebnesfcrtji, "TsVCprU 22, 1808.
That this career may be honorably
won; that this history may bo fully
wrought out, we must be empowered
with a noble ambition, to pay our hon
est debts, our government bonds iu
coin, as stipulated at the time of their
issue; aud repudiate The Democratic
doctrine of repudiation or "grecu back
issue system.
l'enolved, That we have the most
unbounded confidence in the dedtiuy
ofthe Republican party. To the pa
triot, the lover of law and liberty, and
to the thoughtful man, it presents a
record anterior to and daring the re
bellion, full of deep interest; and as
page after page of its future history is
unfolded, we will read the progress of
its great mission in removing the diffi
culties in which our nation bccanio in
volved by Democratic rebellion which
it took four years of war to conquer.
It will bring tho revolted States back
to their proper place in the Union,
purified and purged of their treasona
ble democracy which drove them to
the verge of rain, and place the gov
ernment in moorings provided for it
by tlie fathers oud establish in it the
reign of justice, humanity and equal
rights.
Hrgofced, That we endoi-s tho ac
tion of Congress upon the impeach
ment of the. President, and approve
its legislation in general as wise nud
patriotic.
Resolved, That we offer our grate
ful acknowledgements to the eallant
soldiers ofthe Union army; it is their
meed that we should do so. J heir
privations, dangers and noble patriot
ism displayed in, opposing and con
quering rebellion, entitles them to the
respect and confidence of every true
man and woman in this great repub
lic. On motion, the convention proceeded
to the nomination of candidates for the
district atnl county offices. An ani
mated discussion here sprung up us to
the propriety of putting the candidates
in nomination at the present conven
tion. A division was called for 27
yeas, 11 nays. The persons put iu

Mr. I.'oiiley being informed of the

nancial snd reconstruction policy and
for arranging taxes so Ilia! the burden
falls upon labor and industry ; favors
the payment of the national debt so
thht the national honor may be pre

money, and the debt should be paid
therewith, except when the law pro

abolition of national banks, and that
their issues be replaced with green
backs, favors tho protection of natural

Wednesday ended the documentary
evidenco of the defense, and when it
was got through with it was the
opinion of the managers that the day
had in reality bceu wasted, for there
has been nothing admitted which
strengthened the President or weaken
ed prosecution. Mr. Curtis took
charge of the case in tho absence of
Mr. Stanberry, who is still suffering
from an attack of pleurisy and general
debility, caused by tho toil and worry
consequent upon tho trial and the
sharp verbal engagemonts into which
he has been forced by General Butler,
who proved too much for him. Col.
Moore, the President's Secretary, swore
that be carried certain messages ofthe
President's to tho Senate on the 22d
of February, and again on the 2 Ith.
Gen. Butler watched him closely, and
when ho was turned over for cross
examination,he directed a few questions
to hitu that be had to answer, that he
really did not know what was in the
envelope that it was sealed, and that
hehad neitherseen the contents placed
in or taken out. "You can go uo-v,"
said Gen. JJtiller, as be turned to the
Senators with an air of triumph, that
clearly said, just bring along u few
more such witnesses. The President's
counsel held a long consultation this
morning over General Sherman's case,
and finally concluded not to put him
upon the aland again, but to call (Jen.
Grant and put such questions to him
as tha Sjuate had allowed to be put to
General Sherman, and then follow it
up by further questions in the same
direction. Tho Managers had nothing
that they cared to ask Gen. Sherman,
and so they released him, and he start
ed to-night for Fort Laramie.
Very much time Wednesday was
occupied indiscussing theadmifcsability
of certain portions of the evidence of
Walter S. Cox, of the Washington bar,
in relation to the efforts made by the
President and his counsel to get the
Thomas-Stanton exsa before the Su
premo Court.
After the reces, Mr. Cox was put
through a critical cross-examination
by Mr. Butler, which tended toagreat
extent to destroy the value of his evi
dence. Tho next witness called was a
Mr. Merrick a lawyer here, who
defended the ussossin Surrat when
recently tried. 1 le testified to having
been employed by the President to act
with Attorney General Stanberry in
making a case to test the constitution
ality of the Cival Tenure of Office bill.
Mr. Butler objected to Merrick's
testimony, on the ground that all he
knew ocotired after tho House hud
impeached the President. The Chief
Justice and Senate, however, overruled
the objection and declared the tcstiony
admissible. Merrick then went on,
and made a regular stump speech,
giving ids opinionsand ideas asexpre.sj
ed lo tho President and others. Mr.
Butler further objected, but fourteen
Kt'pulicuns voting with the twelve
Democrats, the Senate ruled against
him, and Merrick -.vent on uninterrup
tedly for half an hour.
This testimony is known to bo
irrelevant and could not bo admitted
in a common police court, but Messrs.
Sunnier, Morton, Sherman, Fcssenden,
Grimes, rind other Republican Senators,
pretended to think that unless every
thing Johnson's counsel ask is admitt
ed that they will hs treating him un
fairly. The President's counsel sec
this and arc taking due advantage of
the same.
It was now 4.21 p.m., and Mr.
Evarts rose aud said they had no more
witnesses ready, and would ask for an
adjournment. To this Mr. Butler
objected, ond made a fifteen minutes
speech that startled everybody. He
spoke with tremendous force, calling
upon tho Senate to prevent further
delay. lie said that all legislation was
stopped ; that tax bills, appropriation
bills, the tariff, tho currency were still
to bo acted on ; that Union men were
being murdered daily, and the South
and thocountry generally in a depress
ed state all owing to this miserable
wretch, Andrew Johnson. The speech
brought forth a burst of applause from
tlie galleries which was checked with
difficulty. This was something un
usual and produced great c-citcmcnt.
Mr. Evarts replied briefly, and then
Mr. Sumner offered a resolution that
hereafter the Senate meet at 10 A. M.,
and sit until C p. si., but under the
rules it goes over for one day. The
Court then adjourned.
Thursday, counsel took evidence to
prove the Presidents speeches provok
ed by the crowds in "swinging round
the circle" mitigated the offence. The
testimony was of no importance.
Members of counsel have said they
expect to finish the case next week.
On all questions which have arisen
Mr. Wade has refrained either from
voting or taking auy part. Patterson,
of Tennessee, never failed tovotoon
the side of the President.

Hlllea and Hounded.
New York, April 15. One ofthe
mo3t terrible railroad disasters on
record occurred early this morning at
Carr's Rock, on 'the Hue of the Erie
Railway, sixteen miles above Port
Jervia.
At the scene ofthe accident, the bed
of the road is cut iu the side of the
bluff overhanging . the river. The
ledge on which the track runs is very
narrow, ond the consequence was that
the cars, wmoh were thrown off the
track by the breaking of a rail, and
down an embankment twenty feet.
thereby greatly increasing the loss of
lite.
T add to the horror of the scene
which ensued, one of the cars took fire,
and it is said that several passengers
were bnrned to death, This report
has not been verified, tho remains not
; having yet been taken from the ruins.
-I- ui
Tho following report of the disaster
has been made by tho officers of the
ErieRailroad at Port Jervis:
Thirteen dead bodies tire at Port
Jervis depot, fifty-two wounded are at
I ort Jervis hotels, and two more
wounded not yetarrived. Mr. Lvnch.

marked thnt "ho had lost his rear cars."
They ran to tbo platform of tho ear
when the four rear cars wero seen roll
ing down a precipice from seventy-live
to one hundred feet high.
The scene of the accident is thirteen
miles beyond port Jervis, on the Dela
ware division oT tho road.
Tht! sides of the precipice are formed
0,,jftpgp'J rock, and in the decent the
the ears were broken to pieces. At
the bottom is a culvert, through which
flows a stream of water emptying into
tho Delaware.
The impression prevails that tho
disaster was caused by a broken rail
which threw the rear car from the
track. This displaced the three cars
immediately in front, and the connec
tion breaking, the wdiole were precipi
tated down an embankment.
The cars in going over the embank
ment turned several times before the
bottom was reached, and wero neatly
demolished. The sleeping car was
entirely consumed by fire.
Th.e passengers of the ears, left stand
ing on the track, immediately began to
rescue the wounded and remove the
bodies of the killed. Many of the
latter could not be recognized.
Seven persons were burned tode.ii.Ii
and six others were killed by coming
in contact with the jagged rock, etc.
Nkw York, April 15, Ilk A.M.
By the latest dispatches at tho Erie
Railroad office in this city, it appears
that twenty persons are dead and fifiy
wounded.
The number of bills passed by the
Legislature at the session which has
just closed, is about eighteen hundred.
This, wo believe, is unprecedented.
Of course, among so many bills, there
must l)o good, bad and indifferent.
.Not a few, probably, will fail to bo of
the slightest use, and some, no doubt,
will bo found to be worse than useless
and nbsohitely pernicious.
