A Convention cf the Abolition party of this State, met at Harrisburg, onl iiuisdav, 17th ins!. There was considerable spar ring between ibe Gamercn ami Curt in wings, ur.d also between the soldier und anti-sol dier elements in the Convention. The fol lowing resolution offered by Mr. Todd, of Cumberland, >t substitute for the milk wnd water platitudes adopted by the Con vention, mus usUd down, receiving but 17 votes to 111 against it: "Resolvttl, Ths" tti's vol vpr.tioft, reprec their superior. When Tedd offered his resolution, Thaddeus at once moved to refer it to a committee, ex pecting by that process to smother it and keep it from being passed upon by the con vention. Thad. made a little speech on this •nbject, during the course of which he said, that, "although he recognized the claims of those who had died in battle, he also recog nized the claims of those who had spent their money in the prosecution of the war." But Tbaddeus' candidates had not a very good show in the Convention, and he was compelled to yield his first choice for Audi tor General. He agreed to compromise up on Gen. Hartranft, the hangman of Mrs. Surraft. and whose radicalism is entirely satisfactory to the advocates of Negro Suf frage. Generals Albright and Selfridge, both gallant soldiers, were also named in the Convention, for Auditor General; but they had never officiated AS hangmen, and, therefore, were no? acceptable to Stevens and company. Hartranf' was nominated. He hails from Montgomery county. For Surveyor General, Col. Jacob M. Campbell, of Cambria county, received the nomination. Col. Campbell was a candidate for the nom ination ot Senator in ins own district, but was defeated. He was very sore over this disappointment, and threatened ail kinds of vengeance. Hence the Convention found it necessary to propitiate him with the empty honor of a nomination for Surveyor Gene ral.—-As to the resolutions adopted by the Convention, tve can say but little, not hav ing seen them in foil. But the synopsis of them given in the Associated Press report, shows them to be of the aqueous-lacteal kind, very watei y and just tinged with a 2-* ie coloring of skim-milk. The policy men have the platform and the* radicals tiie candidates, whilst "Gert." John Cessna fthe telegram to the A. P. dubs him "Gen*") was made chairman of the Stale Committee, i order to satisfy the demireps and govern ment thieves who live upon the pap which oozea from the Federal Treasury just before the transpiring of important elections. Thus patched up, the Abolition organization in this State, Wiii try to make one more fight, hoping that Andrew Johnson may yet be Moduced, or coerced, into co-ojuration with Ifcvui in their efforts to Africanize the Amer ican Union. Bat that organization is rot to the oore and the "cohesive power of public plunder" Winch now holds it together, j cannot long sustain trie corrupt and fester ing anasa.

Ar. j, finally, who refused to ccLbrate the National Anniversary with the Democrats* , ' .Republican" reader, you know w ho— the lead erg nj your parly.' Whatever violence, whether of language, or ot physical torce, has been re sorted to by Democrats, was used in self-defence. This paper has printed some strong articles on the subjects above referred to , but they were printed se defendendo. Had the "Republican" leaders abided by the law, had not the sacred rights of the people been invaded, had not Dem ocrats been mobbed, their property destroyed, and their lives taken in cold blood, we would never have said one word about protecting our rights. They were the aggressors, not we ; and all the lied ford Inquirer's perversions of our ar ticles, cannot lessen their guilt and bhatae. CyThe Inquirer quotes a number of extracts from the Gazette , which are so garbled that i their real meaning is not at all conveyed. But take them even as the Inquirer prints them, they are not so far from the mark. For in stance, the Gazette is represented to have said that uules* a Democratic President was elect ed in 1864,. the ar would not be ended final ly for the next four-years. Very well. The fighting ft#ms to be over, but the Abolitionists themselves teiS us that the war is not "finally ended " They give this as a reason for keep ing up military courts, for refusing to restore the Habeas C'orpus, and for keeping up a stand ing army of 300,009 men. The Gazette's prophecy ie sustained by the present policy of ■ the Abolitionists, for, the wur is not finally end- Ed so long a* a standing army is required to | keep peace in the South. Better wait, Mr. Inquirer till your own party acknowledge that the war is over, l>efore yen refer again to the prophecy of the Gazette. H AHVFST HOME FESTIVAE —On Friday last wc had the pleasure of attending a "harvest home pic-nie" near the residence of Mr. David Kcontz, in Bedford township. The affair was well attended and passed off very pleasantly. The people of that neighborhood arc clever ; ar.d gonial and know bow to make themselves j agreeable. On the occasion referred to, a most excellent dinner was served up, to which the . guests did ample justice. After dinner the time was spent in dancing, pitching quoits, and other pastimes. A more quiet and orderly party we have never attended. It was a real hearty old fashioned peoples pic-nie. As we saw persons of all parties, sects and denominations, ming ling together, we could not h'lp thinking how easily and how beautifully the late anniversary of the Nation's birth, could hive been celebrated in the same manner, if a few demagogues had net thrown a K>ne of contention among the people. A number of persons visiting the springs were present at the festival, prominent among whom wse Judge Daly, of New York, accom panied by his excellent lady. We are under nut obligations to our rural friends, for their kind attentions on this occasion, and shall long remember the happy day we spent with them last Friday. Until wa ahull again meet them to "shout the harvest botae," we can only think with the poet, '•Elcw blest tbe farner's turpi* lif*, HsW pure the jo ' it fields; ftos l ?bs loan's ts opes'uaua strife, Fiso 'm!i tbe ectots 54d.' frWlli the 1 leaked Miq>nrtr please copy the following from the Legislative Record, page 414 or forever hold its peace on the subject of giv. ing souliers the right to vote in the army.

A SOI.IMEK TO Tiuc "INQUIRES," GREETING: —The following letter is in reply to one of the Impart rs insults to the soldier : RcDEtKtD Tr., Aug. 19, 18bo. MR. EDITOR : I see by the last issue of the Bedford Inquirer, that the editor of that delightful sheet has discovered that there are eonae "copper head soldiers." 1 will quote his language : "The Curette has lately made an addition to its editorial department. An individual has been engaged to hunt up Copperhead soldiers and to write letters for them, lip to this date three or four have been found.'' Now, this is a pretty piece of blackguard ism to come from men that profess to be the exclusive friends of the soldier. I presume the writer of this precious tit-bit intended it for my benefit, as I was rash enough to publish my views in the Gazette Very well. Let him go ahead with Ins abuse. 1 will leave it to the people, "Republicans" and Democrats, whether the editor of the Inquirer who sneaked out of the draft by pleading that he bad litj veirm in fus legs, or myself who served honorably my term of enlistment in the army, must deserves the name of "copperhead." The poor, miser able, chicken-livcrc-d old granny that he is!- Why, all that he could do was to stay ut Lome and abuse his neighbors for staying at home like himself. * He talk about "copperheads !" lie ought to put on one of his grandmother's petticoats, and travel about showing his "big veins" at 5 cents a sight. Ho could moke more at that, than by lampooning returned soldiers. As for writing for the Gazette, there are many of us returned soldiers who arc sick and tired of the Inquirer's falsehoods and of Niggerism generally, arid we find the Gazette the only medium through which w" can express our sen timents. What's more we intend to write just for what paper we please and whenever ;ve have a mind to. The Black Copperheads of the Inquirer can't deter us from doing onr du ty- at home, even if they did sneak out of Fath er Abraham's call for their assistance to us in o too free in applying that word copperhead to returned soldiers. Some nigger-heads might lose the last syllable in their names, if they dor.'t learn to be a little more polite. Bo a lit tle rtreful, my sweet friends. Big veins wont save yen ah the time.

The following article appeared in the Press of this city, under the title of "THE NATIONAL POLICE—THE STATES NOT ULT OF THE UNION, BUT THE TRAITORS ARE." "Now that the doctrine is nowhere directly Controverted that secession did not take a sin gle State out of the Union, we may meet on a satisfactory and solid platform, as we come to consider the question of admitting the Senators and Representatives from such States. Con gress may, and in our opinion should, insist upon such a purification of the several Southern State Constitutions as would free them of the poison of slavery; but even when this condition is fulfilled, no impenitent traitor, an 1 no leader of the rebellion should be permitted to take his seat in either House, at leasi not for a lung period of lime. Suppose the inhuman guerrilla, Mushy, should be elected to Congress from tl ,n Alexandria (Va.) district —if Virginia were as sacredly and as strongly a member of the Un ion as Pennsylvania, *.ve should deny his right to a seat, and enforce his exclusion. Nay, if Pennsylvania or New York, fur instance were to elect such a man, it would be the duty of the majority to refuse him admi on. Last year President Lincoln was most a, rous for the admission of the Louisiana claimants. At Ijie pitS<"" t Congress, doubtless President John ! sou will expeCf- to sec Tenucssee represented; ; but it does cot folloS' that claimants of doubt j ful loyalty, or elected by rebel votes, w'l be permitted to take or hold th?.' r seats Does j any one suppose tiiat Eiheridge wo"*J be al j lowed to enter the Capitol as a racmbCf* I matter how great the majority that returned | him? Undoubtedly nut. W" hold the power of Congress over this subject to be unquestion able—established not alone in the law and the , Constitution, but by abundant practice and p.c- I cedent. Ii is with them to say who shall be ; Senators and Representatives. They can de j ci.le as to t!ie "qualifications" of the claimants, and tb°v can exclude them for a !iort time, or for a whole Congress. This, it seems to us, ' clears the way of many of the difficulties ser --• gested in the course of the discussions on this i important subject." It must be apparent to all that jf the <1 c trine set forth i:i this article be adopted, it wi'l I change our whole firm of government as coai i pletely as did the coup d'etat of Louis Nap >- Icon that of France. The power is here claim ,ed for Congress, a mere legislative hodv. with iis duties and the boundaries of its power oloar >ly set forth in the Constitution, to say * hul i kind of a Constitution the people of - f ver j cign State shall adopt, and to dictate to t J effectors who shall and who shall not rcpr>?"i j tlicm ir.

Rut i-sues change, as do the minds of n n, i'. t 1 '* sentiments of enSu't communities subject to like revolutions; and how would this b r , I apply to a different issue?

Would the people sanction such a course? We need not stop here to urge tiie p.int that the late revolted States never were out of the L'u • ion, and that as a matter of course Congress i has nothing to do v.i'.h .Loir ConMitu.iunSk If is sulficicut for our present purpose to show that if Congress had a right tossy that the peo ple of a Suite shail exclude slavery by i. con stitutional provision on pain of noD-admission i to the Union, they would have the same light !to demand similar action upon the tariff, or banking, or any other question that may decide | the country. How long would the Union last —what indeed would it bo worth—under the practical operation of such a principle? But, look at this doctrine as a mea.iS of per petuating the life of any political party or fac tion that should happen to obtain the ascendan cy in the Legislature of the nation. Because the Houses of Congress have a right to decide as to the "qualifications" of their members re spectively, it is now claimed that this right ex tends to questions of "uoubtfui loyalty" and others of a kindred character,*the interpreta tion and understanding of which rest net on law, precedent or reason, but upon partisan feeling and political opinion. It is boldly sta ted that if Pennsylvania or New York elect men to Congress wiio do not agree with the rad icals upon the issues which tijey nave declared to be essential to the welfare of (he nation, it would be the duty of the majority io refuse them admission! This is going to the full ex tent of the doctrine at and telling the people that no matter may cluing; iheir opinions, and*indicate torn change by the election of members of Congress, the radicals mean to hold on to power, and exclude any member elect, North or South, who they think he troublesome to them in their exercise authority. It wiil be seen bv the extract given that there are no qualifications suggested in tiie exercise of this revolutionary and anti-republican doctrine. Even if men be elected to Congress who are eligible under laws passed by a radical Congress, and by voters qualified in the manner pointed out in the same enactments, still if each individual member does not come fully up to the requirements of the majority he "will not be permitted to take his seat in cither House." This is the pro claimed decision of the radicals; and the Presi dent is notified that no exception will be made in the case of Tennessee, notwithstanding his desire to see that State represented in the com ing Congress. This is certainly a most dangerous position to tic occupied by a political party in a free country. But it is the old do"trine of New England. That section has always clamored for a strong government; and now, when they are in the uecc nuaiSty sHl.4bey - desire to change the whole structure of our jgwrotftweut and make their rule perpetual. First, the South ern States are to be subordinated by the expul sion of all members of Congress who will not bow to the dictation of New England assump tion and fanaticism, and then, if necessary, the same, rule i* to be applied to Pennsylvania and New York. In this way the work of purifica tion" is to ps%res# until the task is complete, the union of the States under the Constitution destroyed, and a despotism fastened upon the people from which there is no escape, save by the sword..

Without the supervision and, in j deed, coercion, which is necessary to force him , to work, the tortile low lands, which can only i be eultivr: i by the African race, will soon rc : Icq, into a swampy wilderness, and fj il d't* b.- , os, broken dykes and shattered rice, mills, will j I>e all that is lett to ccark the presoncv: of once i fertile plantations. In the vice dKirccts of Sau'h Carolina great j alarm is felt at the growing insubordination usan j iff sled by the r.egtoes: Largely, outnumbered | and almost defenceless, the whites have till | now relied far protection upon the presence of j the white trumps quartered in their midst. The j announcement that these a:-.- to be withdrawn, ; and that they arc to he replaced by negro troops ! litis not only m-rKo.-l the greatest consternation I among the white inhabitants, but has not a lit- I tie astonished the olScers at present on duty, i These latter feel that there is much cause for ! alarm, atr', regarding the consequences of their { departure as serious in the extreme, have atlvi j sed the planters and their friends to prepare a ; memorial for presentation to General Gil more, stating the condition cf the districts in which they reside, and giving such evidence as tends to show that the. Wacks are ripe for insurrec tion. They have affixed their own signatures to this memorial, which has probably by this time rcac!ed its destination. General Giltnoro however, is not the man who has solo discre tion in this matter. General Meade commands the department, and there are still those over him whose duty it is to see that the lives of | citizens are not uselessly held in jeopardy, and whose aim should he to develop and protect the producing interests of the various sections of I the country. The consequences of an outbreak Among the negroes would be fatal—fatal to the wuite in- j habitants, fatal to the negroes themselves, and j fatal to the local agricultural interests. Though* largely outnumbering the whites or. the sea board, the negroes are still in a very decided minority in the South, and while, at the begin-1 nmg of an outbreak, there might be no force j sufficiently large to stay their blood-red hands, 1 organised bodies would soon be collected which ! upon them, with terribleretribution ,4l the crimes and massa xes they ruignt have com- . butted.
