Abolition Paw-Wow at Harrisburg. !
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, repre<in'inE the
loyei .people of Pennsylvania, recogiiiia thecl?.ini
cf our citiz-0 soldiers on its coulioence ami grati
tude, an -uperior To Tho-e of all others, and trit in
token of the sincerity of this declantion, it will '
•o.Tiinate none ts candidates for office except those
s, ho have proven their loyally an J patriotism by
services in the neid, against the enemies of our re
liable. 1 '
The defeat cf thin resolution v.as the
work of Thaddeiis Stevens and the Negro
Suffrage Radicals, who hate the soldiers
localise the "boy&" refuse to acknowledge
the darkey to L>c 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. A ie<v more shots from the Dem
ocratic ta? tones will demolish it. Like a ;
decayed cheese, it will fall to pieces, exhib
iting within it a living corruption that will
turn the stomachs of the Loyal League it
self.
John Cessna, Thimble Kigger
"Now you see it, and now you don't see
it!" Such is the exclamation of the three
penny prestidigitateurs who go about the
country cheating people "out of their eyes,"
at ten cents per head. The political slight
of-hand performances of 31 r. John Cessna,
of this place, are of the same character.—
Now you see John's hand, and now you
don't see it! But this time we do see it,
every body sees it. When trying to persuade
people to vote for Lincoln, John used to say,
•"Oh! lam as good a Democrat as ever! I
only want to have this war fought through
and after that I will act with the Democrat
ic party, as I have always done before!"
That was tiie time some people couidn't see
iu But now John has become the chief
cook-and-bottle-washer in the Abolition par
ty and nobody can be deceived by his posi
tion. For the benefit of those innocent Ab
olition lambs whom John expects, some of
these days, to lead to the slaughter, we
will, by and by, ventilate his public career.
For the present suffice it to say, that the
appointment of this renegade to the chair
manship of the Abolition State Committee*
will only nerve Democrats to greater exer
tion for the. success of the good old party
which nurds him what he Li ami which lie
has so basely betrayed. Democrats of Bed
ford county! Strip for the content! Lay
aside every personal and individual consid
eration, and show the people of the State
that John Cessna does not and cannot, as
he has so often, boasted, carry Bedford coun
ty in his pocket
e#Tn ad the divisions of ihe people during
the pn'i four jers, who have been the aggress
ors? Who inched the mobs that destroyed
Democratic printing offices? Who pointed out
Den: >cr;tic citizens to strange soldiers, as Sc-
I .
ccssionists? Who introduced political subjects
into the churches ? Who stopped volunteering
and passed a harsh and uncalled-for eonscrip
'ion law ? Who executed that law so as to ex
•Hnp i '*11: •?iU:eaas w atul to force Democrats
into the army '< Who placed ihe nv!ita:y at the
polls, to thprive freemen of the r: e ht of suf
frage? 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,

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
<ne field. But 1 would advise them not to i>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. Yours <4c.,

An Anti-Republican Doctrine.
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. Congrcr::. T ,*.• c~ •;{ >' 'his w.m1.l lr
' to render the union of the Stairs at ali times
! dependent up. n a partisan mid a'i.e ques
tion to-day upon which puriti ation of the
oral State Constitutions is demand J is sin .cry.
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? Suppose proK-t
'or free trade, or the currency question .i.uuld
• he the dividing line between parties, woo. i it he
| constitutional, fair or just for a p trM an maj -r
--| ty in Congr"sq to refuse the admission of a
1 State into the Union unless its Constitution : -
greed with their ideas upon these questions!
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.. These suggestions ns to radical ac
tion to tne future are from a JPennsyhntM p'lpsr.

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. The whites wmrM wreak then- vt-nge- !
ance upon the negroes, and in destroying them, j
would destroy the labor of the country. Cul- i
tivatior. would cease far a long time to coma,
field? would be barren, and the producing pow- j
er o% the country, which constitutes its chief
1 and real wealth, would be, in the rice districts
at least, not only cheeked, but prostrated. It
is cot only tbe duty, but the manifest interest |
of the government, to see that the whites are i
; protected :a tht.ir lives at least, if nut in their i
I property, and that the negroes are kept under J
| wholesome restraint. So soon as this is under- j
(Stood, su soon as the local authorities are al-f
lowed to proper control and to or?atu

tion of things, capital wi.i bo raised to repair
