DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Hon. HIESTER CLYMER,
OK BERKS COUNTY.
A POLITIC tl. ISTiUTWX.
We are in the midst of a great polit
ical revolution. The Southern people
who lately strove by force of arms to
dissolve the Union of the States, are
now striving to renew their former re
lations to the Federal Government,
whilst many of those who were loud
est in demanding the coercion of the
South, are at present engaged in the
most determined efforts to prevent the
re-union of the broken Republic. In
this strange political revolution, men
who but recently differed on leading
issues, find themselves suddenly thrown
together in party fellowship. Truly,
"politics make strange bedfellows!"
The Democratic party finds itself call
ed upon to sustain President Johnson
against the assaults of the party that
elected him. The "Republican" mas
ses find themselves carried by their
leaders upon a Disunion platform,
which can stand only upon the doc
trine that a State can lawfully secede
from the Union. The true Union men
in the "Republican" party find them- i
selves driven into the ranks of the
Democracy, unable to discover any
other organization to which they can
go. For instance, Robert J. Walker,
the fast friend of the late Mr. Lincoln,
is constrained to denounce the leaders
of the party with whom he has so late
ly acted. Edward Baton and Mont
gomery Blair, respectively Attorney
General and Postmaster General under
Mr. Lincoln, have openly connected
themselves with the Democratic or
ganization. Eli Thayer, late "Ilepub- |
lican" member of Congress from Mas
sachusetts, and E. S. Cleveland, Post
master at Hartford, Connecticut, are j
now engaged In stumping the last na
med State for the Democratic ticket.
It. I>. Carnahan. U. S. Di-triet Attor
ney for the Western l)i-lriot of Penn
sylvania, and a delegate to the conven
tion which recently nominated Gen.
Geary, recently addresseda large meet
ing at Pittsburg, and during the course
of his remarks, denounced the conduct
of that convention, and said that in
less than six months the men who eon
trolled that body would find themselves !
in a miserable minority. Thus the po- !
litical revolution progresses. Mean
while, the Democracy stand firm.
Earthquakes are thundering all around
and the Northern Disunion Con-piracy
of Stevens, Sumner and Phillips, is
shaken to its very centre: but Demo
cratic Republicanism, ba-.-d upon the j
rock of the Constitution, is untouched i
by the political convulsion. Men and
brethren! Build ye al-o upon that
rock, so that when the rain corneth and
the storm beateth upon your house, ;
you will know that your political edi- :
fice rests upon a sure foundation.
DEMOCRATS, keep your clubs open!
There are lots of political sinners on
the anxious bench, who need but a
hearty invitation to join the Democrat
ic church, to save them from their par
ty sins. Invite them all to come and
help to save their country. They need
not be ashamed to do so now. And* w
Johnson, \V. 11. Seward, Edward Rates,
Montgomery Blair, Robert J. Walker,
and other great leaders of their party,
have cut loose from Sumner, Stevens,
Forney A Co.! Why. then, should not
the masses of their party do the same?
THE opposition to the Democracy
daily furnish a mo<t excellent reason
to some persons for belonging to the
Democratic party. They nominate
broken down Democrats for the high
est offices in theirgift. Therefore, dear
reader, if you are an office-seeker, be a
Democrat, and if you cannot get of
fice from the Democracy, the "Repub
licans" will be sure to give it to you
after a while, just because you have
been a Democrat. Your chances are
just as good as Geary's.
THE FrankUn lie/wi/ory, one of the
leading Geary newspapers in this state,
is filled with denunciations of Presi
dent Johnson. Its editor, Col. McClure,
said in the convention which nomina
ted Geary, that the President's name
ought not to be mentioned in that con
vention. Yet, we presume, this Geary
organ expects Ihe friends of Mr. John
son to vote for its candidate. How is
this Col. McClure? Do you repudiate
Johnson's friends also?
THE Abolition convention which nom
inated John W. Geary, refused to en
dorse President Johnson's policy and
compelled Mr. Carnahan, of Pittsburg,
to withdraw his resolution expressing
in the President. How,
then, can any friend of the President
vote for Geary, on an anti-Johnson
platform ?
A xoni.r SOLDIER.
The Disunion principles of Thaddeus
Stevens, John W. Geary and the present
leaders of the so-called "Republican"
party, are becoming so well understood,
that the danger of their success is not
near so imminent as it wasa short time
ago. The soldier-citizens, upon whose
sympathy and support the Radicals are
wont to rely so implicitly, are among
the first to perceive the fatal tendency
of doctrines based upon the idea of a
severed Union. The men who periled
life and limb in the late unhappy strife,
know that they fought to restore the
South tothe i 'nion, not to give Thaddeus
Stevens, Gen. Geary, or any other Rad
ical leader, an opportunity to keep the
Southern States out of the Union. Many
of them had no objections to the eman
cipation of the blacks, as a military
measure, but few of them ever dreamt
that the war was intended to give the
negro the right to vote, or, that until
the South consented to enfranchise its
blacks, the Union should remain broken
and unrestorod. Hence, like President
Johnson, they regard men like Stevens,
Sumner and Phillips, as Disunionists,
and feel con-trained to oppose all men
who, like Gen.Geary,permit themselves
to be placed upon a platform endorsing
the course of those Northern enemies
of the Union. We find one of these
soldiers even in the Paymaster Gener
al's Office, at Washington. Hi- name
is E. B. JOHNSON, of New Hampshire.
Tiie political world was thrilled, a few
days ago, by a letter from this young
hero, in reply to a circular from a New
Hampshire Abolition electioneering
club, begging funds from the clerks in
the Departments at Washington, with
which to purchase the principh - and
honor of the Granite State. We give
this letter below, with President John
son's noble commendation of the eon
duct of the soldier-clerk, and a!-o his
indorsement by the Paymaster General:
PAVVASTER GENERAL'S OFFICE. \
WASHINGTON D. C. March 2. ISfifi. (
Hon, E H ROLLINS, United States House of Kep
resentotires :
SIR: I bnve just received a circular of the "New
Hampshire U( ion Cluh." requesting me to remit a
sum equal to -'one and ahalf percent." of my an
nual salary for the purpoeeof • defraving" the ex
penses of the approaching election.
The circular states that "such pent MIS as go home
to vote at said election are hereby excused from
complying with this request As lam not a voter,
I must, according to this circular, remit a sum equal
:• one and a half per cent, of my annual salary.
I am against all measures which ten I to destroy
the purity of the ballot-box : and this 1 regard as
one I have never given a cent for the purpose
bribing voters to rote contrary to their judgment,
and T never shall. Any man who sells his vote de
serves to be disfranchised.
I have watched the doings of Cong res- Turing the
present session, and. in so doing, have noticed that
you have acted with that disunionist. Thaddeus
tsterens. and. therefore, f am led to believe that you
and your company partake of his cup. which con
tain-' the essence of disunion.
Upon the principle that "like begets like." f am
led to believe that this money, so raise.l. will beex
penTed for the purpose of elevating more disunion
ists to power. As a student of the Cofis-iiuilon. I
have been taught that nil efforts made for the pur
pose of procuring powernnd office by unfair means
are contrary to the spirit of liberty and ju-'iee.
I do not believe, that you have, .luring the pres
ent session, acted in accordance with the willof the
mnj irity of the people of New Hampshire, and f
I 001 Slently hop- that you and your digni ion co
partners will, at this next election, meet with that
| rebuke you so justly deserve.
Your appeal for funds argues the weakness of
' vour cause. I am, sir. fours respectfully.

' Paymaster General's Office. March 14, lstiti.
The soldiers of Pennsylvania have
I also been watching "the doings of Con
gress," and they must iitivo noticed that
| every "Republican" Congressman from
this State, lias acted with "that disun
| ionist, Thaddeus Stevens." Like the
i brave young hero from New ilamp-
I shire, they will scout the Northern I>is
' unionists when they emnc to ask them
; to vote for the Disunion nominee, (Jen.
I Geary, and in doing so, they will be
| assuredof theendorsement.by Andrew
i -Johnson, of their "just estimate of cor
| reet principles."
GEN. GEARY wrote a It tter last Au
gust, to Mr. S. Maguire, a leading Dem
ocrat of the city of Philadelphia, in
which he said that he was a Democrat,
"without prefix or affix," and that on
ly "the wealth which it seemed neces
sary forthe candidate to possess," pre
sented him from becoming an appli
! C4int fnr the Democratic nomination lor
Governor. As Geary hits not since re
nounced his Democracy, nor even a
! dopted "a prefix, or affix," had not the
"Republicans" better see to it that he
does not Johnsonize them as soon as
the election is over?
THE pulpit has teemed with anathe
mas against the "sin of slavery" and
the infidelity of slave-holders. "Why
don't the preachers say something a
bout the infidel chaplains to Congress
which have been selected by that body
for some years past? We have never
heard a word uttered by the "loyal"
ministry against the courseof the House
of Representatives in electing Unitari
an preachers to do its praying and
preaching. Has Congress a special in
dulgence upon this subject ?
A. JOHNSON VS. T. STEVENS.
O ye people! are you for "honest
conviction," the Constitution and An
drew Johnson, or do you believe, with
Thad. Stevens, that Johnson is a usur
per and that two centuries ago such u
surpation as his would have cost an Eng
lish king his head? On which sideare
you? that's the question. Read the
following extracts from Stevens' re
cent speech in Congress and that of the
President 'on the twenty second of
February, and makeup your minds :
Honest conviction i> my courage, the
Constitution is iny guide.— Andrew
Johnson.
Such usurpation two centuries ago
would have cost an English King his
head. — Thaddeus Stevens.
Is it usurpation to stand between the •
people and the encroachments of pew-;
er? Men may taik about usurpation j
and beheading, but when 1 am be- i
headed 1 want the American people to ;
be the witnesses. — Andrew Johnson.
There are earthquakes beneath us j
and 1 dare not yield.— Thaddeus Ste- .
reus.
Yes, fellow-citizens, there is an earth- '
ouake eoniing; there isa ground—wcl-1
ling of popular judgment and indig
nation. The American people will
speak, and by their instinct if not nth-:
erwise, they will know who are their
friends and who are their enemies.— ;

* The rrriiiieiil'* Speech in Europe.
The English papers praise in the
strongest terms the Pre ident's speech
delivered on Washington's birthday.
That speech has put before the world
the true, clear view of the state of par
tic- here,and ha- extorted, for he lead
er of the people, expre— ion- of the
most earnest admiration from quar
ter- hithert > content to eavil and sneer
at all that originates on this -ido the
Atlantic. The speech that the radi
cals denounced as horrible, vulgar, un
fortunate and outrageous; that -ome
of the President's friends even were
inclined to excuse and explain, and that
the //. raid declared to lie greater and
.finer than anything in Demosthenes,
leceivcs from Europe the highest pos
' siblo meed of praise for it- energetic
! simplicity, and for its sentiments—de
clared to he "not unworthy the great
, founder of the American Republic.
"Such a speech,*' says the London
!• Timer, "has not often been heard in
iAAmeric a speech entirely free from
i tawdry ornament or ambitious meta
phor, but conveying the firmest deter
mination and the most enlightened
' principles in the plainest and simplest
| language." Ana the same paper-ays

In conversation, a few days ago, •
with'a friend from Harrisburg, we re- j
ceived the gratifying information that
the name of' HIESTER C'LY.MER
was a powerful auxiliary to the De
mocracy of that city, in carrying their
late election. No one, indeed, can vis
it Harrisburg, where the candidates of'
both pariiesare personally well known, j
without becoming cognizant of the j
fact that the citizens of that city gen-,
erally, irre-pective of party, hold Mr.
('r.YMKit in the highest esteem, and j
look up to him with thatrespt ct which j
an irreproachable character. ever com- j
mand-. They were almost unanimous j
in desiring his nomination for Clover-j
nor, and it is not going too far to say '
that those who do not publiely advo- j
cate his election, hope for it at heart.
In illustration of tin - strong feeling in
his favor, the editor of the Krit Ob-\
W/', who was on the ground when j
the S ate Convention met, relates the
following incident:
"In private life, Mr. I LYM tut is one l
of the most genial and unassuming '
men. In his home in Berks county, j
his popularity is unrivalled, while at:
the State Capital, among officers and,
citizens, he scents to he without an en
emy. One of the best instances that
we can relate on this point is the fact
that on the evening of his nomination
most of the Republican members call
ed at his room to congratulate him up
on his nomination. Senator LOWRY
appeared especially gratified, and, clas
ping Mr. CDYMER'S hand, exclaimed:
"lam your political enemy, hut am
proud to in l your personal friend, i
congratulate the Democracy on having
nominated an honest man. L shall op
pose you on party grounds, but 1 shall
everywhere proclaim it that you are
an honest man."
Men of Pennsylvania, such is the
candidate the Democracy have presen
ted for Governor ! Can you fail to sap
port him? Let no narrow-minded
view.- or political prejudices prevent
you from looking ioyourbo-t interests
and those of The country!
