DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Hon. HIESTER CLYMER.
OF BERKS COL'NTY.
SHI RACE FOR THE NEGRO.
Lot it be remembered that every
"Republican" Congressman from Penn-,
syivania, voted ior the bill to force No- j
gro Suffrage upon the people of the !
District of Columbia. These men will
return to their constituents for en
dorsement at the election in next Oc
tober. Many of them will be nomina
ted for re-election, and the places of
those who may fail to get such a re
nomination. will be tilled by men as j
radical as those discarded. The peo
ple must prepare for the is>ue which
such nominations will inevitably e
vokc. Politicians and demagogue
will do their best t > blind-fold their
followers, as they did last fall, by tell
ing them that no sue: i--ieis possible:
but they cannot deceive any one who j
is willing to see for hiins<*Jf. The fact
that all the "Republican" members of
Congress from this State, voted for Ne
gro Suffrage, makes thai tin platform
upon which our political opponents are
bound to stand in the coming canvass.
Had their Convention repudiated the
course of the "Republican" represen
tatives in Congress, they might claim
that they do not stand upon such a ,
platform. But this it failed to do, and
on the other hand, passed a resolution j
requesting Mr. Cowan, v the only "Re
publican" representative from Penn
sylvania, in either House of Congress, j
opposed to Negro Suffrage to resign, j
It i* plain,therefore, that the leaders of
the "Republican"party mean that Ne
gro Suffrage shall be an i--ue at the
coming election. They will not avow '
thisopenly, except in localities In which
their doing so will not do them any
harm. But covertly, they will make!
it an issue everywhere, -o tiial if they j
should succeed, they \\ ill lie enabled to |
claim their succe— is the triumph of
Negro Suffrage. Hence, it become*
t'.ie people to organize for the conflict, j
White men, of all parties, should pledg
themselves, one to another, to -rand by
their race. The question is coming up- j
on us, with a rapidity for which many
are as yet unprepared, XV/<7 the white
nun continue to (/oven h'onslfi We
cannot sec, why, upon this is*ue, men j
of all parlies cannot unite and act in I
harmony. For our own part, we are :
willing to fight by the side of any man, i
no matter what his political name, who •
is willing to do battle for the supremas !
cy of the white race. Let all who a
gree upon this main and vital i--ue, i
join hands in political fellow ship. This
is no time for halting, or higgling, a
bout past differences of opinion. Our
Union, our form of Government, civil
and religious freedom, domestic peace,
social tranquillity and all the blessings
of liberty regulated by law, hang m-oii
the decision of thi* momentous ques
tion. What will you do?
Tin; ts; \KIMSTS.
The great vindicator, Time, -e . all
things even. During the heat and pas
sion of our civil war, the fact that the
founders Ad leaders of the so-called
4 Republic-an" party, were the original
Disunionists, was almost totally ignor
el. It was forgotten that New Eng
land sent petitions to Congress, asking
for a dissolution of the Union; that
Banks was willing to "let the Union
slide;" that Garrison pronounced the
compact of the Union, "a league with
death and a covenant with hell;" that
Wade declared that he was not "one of
those who would ask the South to con
tinue in the Union;" that Lincoln said
"this Union cannot continue to e\i*t,
half slave and half free;" and that
Greely confessed himself willing—"to
let the South go." But with the re
turn of social tranquillity, come reason
and reflection, and the recollection of
these things is on *e more recalled to
the popular mind. At last the mask falls
from the faces of the men who have
simulated Uuionismand under the dis
guise of an intense patriotism, -truck
the most deadly blows at the life of the
Republic. Stevens, Sumner and their
compeers once more stand unveiled in
the native hideousness of thprr enmi y
to the Union. Even the men who sus
tained them during the war, point at
them the linger of scorn. Even the
President of their choice, deems it his
duty to lay aside the robes of office, in
order to pronounce them, publicly, Dis
unionlsts and Traitors. Thus is the
Right vindicated and thus will Truth
at last prevail.
THAT 44 Copperhead procession,"
which "Governor" Cessna prophesied
in his answer to Col. Jordan's circular,
will corne off as soon as the Chairman
THE PRESIDENT'S ORGAN ON THE
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
It is well known io Washington city,
that the Xational Intelligencer is the
personal organ of President Johnson.
We copy the following editorial on the
New Hampshire election, from its is
sue of the 14th inst.:
There is always a tendency to in
creased majorities for a party in power,
unless something happens in politics
that strongly arrests the public atten
tion. Thus, the majority of 7,4U0 last
year in New Hampshire for the Repub
lican candidates for Congress (soldiers'
vote included, would have been lar ;e
--ly increased this year had not the poli
cy of the Administration led intelli
gent and reflecting Republicans to
think that the warfare of Congress up
on the President required some consid
sideration as to their course in State
elections, even at this early period.—
Had this feeling been stimulated by
the idea that the friends of the Presi
dent desired reliable assurances from
Republican candidates for State offices
that they were in favor of his policy,
and opposed to the mischievous and
destructive course of the star-chamber
cabal in Congress, it is hardly doubtful
that Governor Smyth coutd not have
been re-elected. Seeing thin, the in
struments of the Congressional clique
or junto set to work to cajole the Re
publicans at home by the idea that no
*uch serious dificrence existed between
the President ami Uongre*- that might 1
not be calmed down at an early day.
Hence, they caused a resolution to Is*
pa-sod at the Republican Stab Con
vention. whi *h endorsed uie President.
Here at Y\ ashington it was given out
to the frieiuN of the President in pow
er. that then- wit- nothing but good
feeling for him among the Republicans j
at .home, and hence no steps were taken
hv the former t< procure a concerted !
movement in that Slate thai was b: t .*ed
upon adhesion to his great policy of
State restoration. Meantime the par
tisan Radical trickster- exhausted in
genuity, and effort, and means to get
every employe of the Government to
contribute f hi- money and time to go
home to east his vote in -ueh a manner
as to enable the enemies of the Presi
dent to announce a great victory of
Congress over him. t hat this will be
done we doubt not, but the facts that
we have stated will show that the re-.
suit would doubtless have been against
the Radical destructives had a distinct
issue hem made upon the President's
policy. In short, the result may be re
garded as a \ irtual Radical defeat.
THE GEARY PLATFORM.
Mr. Marshall, of llttsburg.one of the
most prominent members of the OM>]
veiition which nominated Gen'. G< arv
for Govt rnor, said, in the course of a
speech made by him in that conven
tion, that Gen. Gearv had told him
!
that b Geary) endorsed every thing j

Gear\ platform contain- among its
broadest plank-, Xrgro S>>frnge, The

and blacker than all the rest. DUvoion.!

Hon. A. 11. Coffroth, M*. C., from
this district, introduced, in t ongress, a
few days ago, the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on
i Military Affairs be, md are hereby, in
) sum ted to inquire in o the expediency
| of reporting by bill or otherwise for

df died and paid commutation money
j or put in sub-titutes, and were subse
quently drafted and a second time paid
i commutation money, put in *ub.*ti
tutes. or went into the service.
We hope that Uongr.*-- will at once
! act upon this matter and give relief to
those who stifle red from the severity of
i riie Conscription. t ongrt — gave the
wound and Uongre— ought to try to
i ha I it.*
THE Democratic gain in this county,
j on the vote of last fall, is 101. and the
: proportionate gain to th. number of
j votes polled, i- 527. For this re-ult, we
| have to thank the good sense of many
: conservative Republicans, who have
| tired of the radical folly of their party
leaders and have determined to cut
t loose from their desjierate leadership.
We do not exult over the defeat of our
j opponents, for our help came from their
ranks. We only thank th<>-e who as
sisted us, for taking their stand on the
j side of the right! The energy of the
Democrats throughout the county, is
j alsoemincntlypraiseworthy. Theydid
i thi i.r duty nobly.
THE Democrats, of Middle Wood
berry and Union townships, made
! an excellent fight, on Friday last, car
rying the greater portion of their tick
ets. Last fali, these townships gave Iff!
[ "Republican" majority. We arc sorry
! that we cannot say the same for the De
, mocracy of South Wood berry. Our
friends in that district fail to get out
their vote almost invariably, whilst
their "Republican" neighbors make it
| a point to bo at the polls. The other
■ districts of the county look to South
: Woodberry for a hotter return iu the
; future.
—
WE are informed that Col. Er. Jor
' dan ha- been appointed Chairman of
; the Disunion Geary State Committee,
vice John Cessna kicked out. This is
"the most uukindest cut of all." The
"Governor" will now have to take his
place as a private in the ranks, and
"forward march," "right dress," "left
wheel," "mark time," ''company,
halt," according to the command of

HARRISBI HG, March 10, 1-SCii.
Editor Gazette:— The Legislature still
"drags its slow length along." I doubt ;
not, however, that it will soon bring its
herculean labor* to a close. That it
would have adjourned ere this, had not
a certain sinister purpose kept the par
ty in the majority front consenting to
such adjournment, is a fact well ascer
tained in legislative circles. That pur- :
pose was to pa—an unconstitutional en- j
actment disfranchising some timity thou
sand citizens of f he Slate , and to do it in
such a manner that the Supreme Court
would not be likely to get a chance to
knock the bottom out of it before the
October election. Only think of it!
Twenty thousand free white citizens of
Pennsylvania to be degraded, by a sim
ple act of the Legislature, to the level
of negroes! Yet a bill of this kind has
passed the Senate, every "Republican"
in that body voting for it, and will in
evitably become a law, unless vetoed
by the Governor. This infamous bill .
proposes to disfranchise every man
whose name is found upon the books of j
any provo-t marshal, a* not having re
ported when drafted, or who i- marked
upon such book.* as a "deserter." An
amendment offered to the bill, that .
"only suMi person- as, after due trial, j
-hall hn\ been oon ictcd of desertion,
shall be subject to the penalties of this
act," wa* voted down by the "Repub
lican .S' icitor*." This -how-that they
do not seek the end- of justice, by this
piece of legislation, but, on the contra
ry, that they want to punish Jinn for
crimes of which the? notbeeaeon
victrd, and of which hev may he a
guiltles.- as any of the*e pestilent legis
lators. What d cent white man, no
matter what his polities, will endorse
this shameful legislation? I lave not the
fools who are thus trying to enslave
their fellow men,<had enough of revo
lution and blood? If not, let them dure
to enforce the provisions of this law.
Tin: first Judge of election that shall be
imprisoned fr receiving the vote of
one of the pr/iserihed twenty thousand,
will be the proto-niartyr of a new rev
olution which will teach these mad-ap I
knave* to respect the Constitution and j
the right- of the people thereunder.— !
Shad twenty thousand u hite m> n, citizens '
of the fve Common tr <dth of Pennsylca
?i?Vq t>c made slaves by a simple net of tin
Legislature? No! by all that i* sacred i
j in the history of our country; by al! ;
that make* liberty holyniid life de-ira- i
ble; by every instinct of manhood, ev
ery aspiration for freedom, every inspi
ration of patriotism, let it be -worn
that this infamy shall not be accotn
j pi i-bed. The conspirators a gain* t the .
lilx;rty of the people would have had
this iaw passed long ago, but they fear
ed to do so le*t at some of the local elec- I
tion* case* might arise under it, which
might result in the judicial determina
tion of its unconstitutionality prior to
the fUroh-r election. Such a re*ult
1 would have thwarted their purposes,
1 and 1 suggest now that some local offi
i cer resign, *o that a special election mu.v
be immediately held and the question
of tho constitutionality of this law
brought before the Supreme Court of
j the State. The devilish design of the
1 trickster- in the Legislature! must, can
! and will lie defeated and their chicanery
put to shame.-
The elections in this neighborhood,
on Friday last, show heavy Democratic
, gains. Oliver Edwards, Democrat, was
i electwl Mayor of this city, by 147 ma
jjority; and John T. Wilson. ! H-inocrat,
Treasurer, by 212 majority. Last Oc
tober, the "Republicans" carried the
j city by 3 majority, -bowing a Demo
; cratie gain of 245! The enemy made a
fierce tight, but we routed him, "horse
foot and tiragoons." So mote h ever be!
1 understand that the "Republican"
paper in your town, i- very severe upon
Messrs. Ros* and Armstrong, for their
vote in favor of the extension of time
totheConuellsville and Southern Peun
| syivania R. R. Co. I confess my aston
ishment at the vole of Gen. Ro.*-. but 1
expected nothing else from Mr. Arm
strong. He i- a mere dancing-jack
moved by w ire* that ire pulled behind
the scenes. But what right have "Re
publicans to complain of the shortcom
ing* of men like Armstrong, after they
vote for them deliberately and with
their eye* open? The leaders of the
"Republican" party in Bedford, must
! have known the calibre of the man
whom they selected a* their represen
tative in the Legislature. But "chick
en* will come home to roost," and the
fraud which we all here so well remem
■ ber. by which Armstrong got his *eat
in 1835, is now recoiling upon tho heads
of the men who sustained and advoca
ted it. It serves them right, but their
inter<-ts and the interests of the people
should not suffer together. More anon.

WEST PROVIDENCE, I
March 5. lW!. |'
Mil. MF.VHRS:—WiII you be so kind
' and obliging as to print tlase few lints,
in some corner of your paper. 1
haven't got much learning; if i had,
' I could write better. 1 la-long to the
common people, anil they don't write
, much; but I took a curious notion in
to my mind to write something about
Greely'* opinion of President John*on's
! putting his heel on that costly Bureau
that they got madeayearsinceat Wash
ington. Something about it has got
broken so bad that they can't use it to
suit everything they want to put in it.
So some of Mr. Johnson's used-to-lie
i friends, took a notion to have it mend
ed and made bigger, but it would have
cost so much money to have it fixed to
suit the fancy of those that used to hol
loa, "Hurrah for Johnson !" So John
son vetoed it. Greely thinks that
Johnson made a mistake and relieved
those who elected him of a great re
sponsibility, by taking it on lias own
- u * ■ ™ - - --• - i
Greely; he thinks that the responsibil
ity for attending to this costly Bureau,
would In- more than the Constitution
will allow him to accept. And he has
sworn to support that Constitution.
Johnson wants no kingly powers to he
put on his shoulders. He wants peo
ple to have the right to appeal from a
nvthingthat isn't just. He thinks that
this Bureau bill would have given him
to much power in appointingso many'of
ficersto attend to its drawers and keys.
Everybody ought to shout for Johnson
for not wanting Congress to give him
more power than the Constitution gives
him. Six Senators who voted for this
Bureau, voted to sustain him in put
ting his heel upon it. Their doing so
looks like they had done wrong and
Johnson right. Greely grumbles at
these Senators; the vote of Gov. Mor
gan amazes him greatly. I would like
to know whether he thought the peo
ple wouldn't get amazed at him when
lie said : "Tear clown the flaunting lie,
half ma-t the starry flag, Inult no sun
ny sky. With hate's polluted rag!"
He claims to be a union man, but such
language show- him to be a disunion
ist. Greely further says, that the "Reb
els" will be enraptured with Johnson's
veto. That's w Let Johnson wants ; lie
wants them t<> '*• willingly united to a
eonstitutionalgovemment. He further
says that every resident of the North,
who rejoiced over the Union defeats,
blesses Johnson for t his veto. To bless
a Union man andaednstitutional man,
will lie no disgrace to any body. There
are men who fought for the Union that
will bhss him ; fathers who have lost
sons, fighting for the Union. The ac
cusation about rejoicing over Union de
feat .is a falsehood. Some people nu
see the mote in their brothers' eve. but
they cannot see the beam in their own.
Greely advise- his friends to take this
veto moderately and temperately. If
they can't get a whole loaf, take a half,
a quarter, yes, a crust, to make this a
land of equal rights. If Greely and
his Radical friends had acted moder
ately and temperately in former days,
it would have been better for the coun
try. Fanaticism cannot reason, or lis
ten to reason. It is only the thunder
of this veto that makes it tremble. May
it shake it till it gets common sense.

It is known "that the Stab- con veil- ,
| t ion-. and gen
eral limitation of the South in IS6O-'6l
i wore manufactured here by -eei-ssjon- i
istr. in lioth Houses of Congress and
great number- of eo-ojierating politi
eians from all the disaffected localities,
besides many from the North, who had
• congregated here to distract counsel,
intimidate the Executive, and inflame
popular passion. Few persons famil
iar with the natural history of dema- i
i gogites need be convinced that the
| great rebellion, duly diagnosed, was
! simply c. ctwe of detprrate hold(f poic- j
! er nnd mod umhit.ton for mart by selfish
I leader-. The present case is precisely j
j analogous. That the persons are dif
[ ferent is only becayse the eireumstan- i
! cos are, but the cause in both cases is I
, the cause of selfish demagogery. Should ;
tin reader, therefore, be surprised to
find now the same species of instru- !
I mentalities —professions that the old
I'nion had been broken, erection of
novel standards of patriotism, proscrip- j
! tion of conservative majorities, etc. — I
employed by the conspirators of 1 siX!?
Hut both the peculiarsituation of the
j .Southern communities now. and the j
i strikingly different mettle of the pres- ;
ent Executive of the laws, render the j
i particular scheme described below , of I
j whieh we profess no personal knowl
edge, of little moment, beyond proving
j the treasonable purposes of the revolu
j tionnry cabal. It i- hardly to be sup- i
! posed tintt the public order, under the
i pre-ciu restored governments of the
• Southern States, which hag cost so much
j anxious care, is to be exposed to the
lea-t|risk of disturbance by tolerating
assemblages of any class of citizens of
the Smith of a character to retard the
; tendency to repose, or evolve new el
ements of contention. We thus intro
; duce the following from the Washing- j
ton correspondence of the New York
i Tribune: A
SOOTH EH N STATE GOVERNMENTS.
-The question of the recognition of
ihe State governments in the lately re
bellious States will -hortlv be brought |
|to a practical t~t. M*asures have la-en
| taken by prominent loyalists in the i
j South, and are now l>eing perfected un
; der the advice of leading men in Con
gress. to bring this piuation to an early
| decision. Tie* plan is as follows: Loy- j
al men, and they only, l>oth black and
, white, in the States of Arkansas, \
North Carolina, Louisiana, and else
where, have taken steps toward the
formation of new State governments.
! These loyal men, without respect to
I color, will shortly issue calls in their i
j respective States for State Conventions,
; and elect delegates thereto ; the eon- !
i ventions so formed will frame State j
; constitutions embodying the principles j
| of loyalty, freedom, and equal rights;
! will pledge themselves to the payment
of the national debt, the repudiation
j of the rebel debt, and thedisfranehise
| inent of the rebels. This being done, j
| they will then proceed to elect Gover
| nors, State Mirers, Representatives,
j and Senators; the latter of whom will 1
! at once demand admission to Congress.
{ The question thus being thrust upon
j that body, there is no doubt of the :
) recognition of the governments so for
j med, and the admission of the loyal
|meh 1 hers so elected. A number of true
I and loyal men of the South have bem
| here for some days consulting and de-
I ciding upon the best method to be a- I
i dopted, and having determined upon j
! tlie plan presented above, have left for
! their homes to carry the same into ex
! ecution. The matter has been kept
j very* quiet up to this time, hut as the
I movement in most of the States is now
j well under way, no harm can, and pcr
! haps much good may, he done the I'n- j
j ion cause by giving the facts to the pub
i lie at this time.

C., to Liverpool, via Quetsntown, was
introduced and referred to the Postal
Committee. The House then again
! took up the "loan bill." Mr. Garfield
made a speech advocating the passage
i of the bill as reported from the Ways
and Means Commit tee, and Mr. Lynch,
jof Maine, read a speech protesting a
gainst allowing the Secretary of the
Treasury so much power. Mr. Morrill
made a speech favoring the passage of
j the bill, which closed the debate on
this subject. A motion was made by-
Mr. Stevens to lay the whole subject
!on the table, and was lost by a vote of
j yeas 37, nays fls. Mr. Stevens' amend
ment was rejected. The bill, as agreed
on by tiie Committee on Ways and

TIIE Boston Port , in the following
paragraph, presents an unpleasant di
; lemma for the admirers of the two
Senators from Massachusetts:
That Messrs. Wilson and Sumner
j should vote against each other in the
United States Senate, and that Mr.
Wilson should sustain a measure which
, Mr. Sumner pronounces "a coin promise
ihe most shameful, indecent and utter
; ly immoral of any in our history, as
1 bad as bad can be," proves one' of two
things, namely: either Mr. Wilson is
not worthy of holding a seat in the
; Senate, or Mr. Sumner asserts what is
not true.
