ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC CEN
TRAL COMMITTEE.
IEocRATir STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, j
HARRISBCRG, March 27. 1866. j
To THE PEOPLE OP PBSSSTLVASIA :
A civic contest, laden with grave re
sults, has just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of
the State have announced their plat
forms and presented to you their can
didates.
The Democracy distinctly avow
their purpose to restore the Union and
to maintain the superiority of the
white man.
Their opponents refuse to restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the
policy of the President, and again at
tempt to deceive you in regard to negro
suffrage.
The restoration of the Union is an is
sue embracing and overshadowing all
others.
If it be postponed, and agitation con
tinued, you will deny that the war wa
"a war for the Union;" you will shake
your form of Government to its very
base, jeopardize the security of your
National debt, incur ttye hazard of fi
nancial revulsion, fetter the develop
ment of your industrial resources,
make a desert of the fairest portion of
the Republic and aid in elevating the
negro at the expense of the white men.
The period of reaction after great na
tional exertion is oftener fatal to free
institutions than the severest throes of
civil warfare, and radical disunionists
seize that hour to consolidate your Gov
ernment by amending the Constitution
and to perpetuate their power through
the political equality of the negro.
Prolonged agitation or prompt resto
ration are the alternatives presented :
MEN OF TIIF. KEYSTONE:
Look back upon your history, and in I
the light of that retrospect determine
whether you will be led to your ruin :
by a reckless disturber of the peace of j
your Commonwealth, or will you fol
low the President by the paths of the
Constitution to the haven of peace, or
der and security.
The Democracy present to you, with
pride, their candidate for Governor:
a Pennsylvanian by birth ; of revolu- i
tionary family; pure, honest, capable;
possessed of large experience, and gift
ed with the rarest qualities of the head
and of the heart, no man need biush to
follow where Hi ESTER CEYMKR leads
the way.
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA :
ALL IS WELL; YOUR CANDIDATE
WILL RE SUSTAINED; TRIFLING I'ER
30NALIT1ES GIVE WAV BEFORE THE
ONWARD MARCH OF GREAT PRINCI
PLES. BE ASSURED OF SUCCESS, AND
LABOR TO DESERVE IT.
By order of the Democratic State
Committee.

Chairman.
THE OUTRAGE I IM.\ NEW JEK.NET.
Hon. John P. Stockton was elected
a Senator of the Cnited States, by the
Legislature of New Jersey, at its ses
sion of last vear. The two houses of
the Legislature met in jointconvention,
and under the Constitution of New
Jersey, adopted a rule requiring only a
plurality of the votes cast to effect the
election of a Senator. Mr. Stockton re-
ceived a large plurality of the votes
cast, and had a considerable majority
over the "Republican" candidate. Mr.
Wall, another Democrat, received a
portion of the Democratic vote, and
thus Mr. Stockton, whilst he had a ma
jority over each of his opponents, did
not have a majority over lx>th of them.
But, under the plurality rule, which
the convention adopted, and which is
allowable under the Constitution of
New Jersey, Mr. Stockton was declared
to lie elected and was given his creden
tials accordingly. When < 'nngress as-
sembled in December last, Mr. Stock
ton took his seat in the Senate, no one
in that hotly demurring. Some of the
New Jersey "Republicans," however,
concluded that they would contest his
seat, and went to Washington for that
purpose. The case went before the Ju
diciary Committee of the Senate, of
which Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, is
chairman,and which is composed almost
wholly of "Republicans." This Com
mittee gave the case a thorough inves
tigation and reported unanimously in
favor of Mr. Stockton's right to hisseat.
Until the veto of the Freedmen's Bu
reau Bill developed the fact that the
Radiealshadnotthprequisitetwo-thirds
in the Senate to enable them to pass
their measures over the President's ve
to, nobody dreamed that the Senate
wouW not, as usual, confirm the report
of the committee. But the necessity
of the Radicals at once arrayed them
against that report and the right of Mr.
Stockton to his seat. In vain did Mr.
Trumbull, (who, by the way, is the au
thor of the Freedmen's Bureau and
Civil Rights bills, but who is also a law
yer and seems to have some honor left )
appeal to fellow Radicals to stand
by law and right. In vain did Lane,
of Kansas, (another radical) uttfr his
belief that Mr. Stockton was duly and
lawfully elected. The tyrant of the
Senate,theunscrupulousSumner, crack
ed his whip over the heads of his slaves,
who dared not act like men. but cow
ard-like, crawled behind hirn and crept
in his slimy track. Morrill, of Maine,
—eternal shame to his memory!—broke
his pair with a fellow Senator prostrate
upon a bed of sickness, and Stewart,of
Nevada, who had expressed his belief
that Mr. Stockton was entitled to his
seat and had once given his vote in fa
vor of the report of the committee,
slunk out of the chamber, like a dog,
not daring to meet the question. Thus
was Mr. Stockton deprived of his seat
in the U. S. Senate, and the state of New
Jersey outraged in one of her most -a-
cred privileges. Let the " Republican"
party settle this question among them
selves; for. more than one third of their
representatives in the I'. S. Senate de
clared Mr. Stockton entitled to his seat,
whilst the remainder were engaged in
voting him out of it.
a*o r a F.k * rrro.
The President, as was anticipated,
has vetoed the "Civil Rights Bill," that
is, the bill lately passed by Congress to
confer the same rights upon negroes
now possessed by white men. Let the
people bo thankful for this seeoml in
terposition in their behalf, by Mr. John
son. Lot every friend of the Constitu
tion rejoice that the Executive has thus
far shown himself possessed of the vir
tue and the courage to stand between
the charter of our liberties and the as
saults made upon it by the revolution
ists in Congress. We are not among
those who worship at the shrine of An
drew Johnson. We do not believe that
one eighteen- act. or a dozen good deed-,
make a man perfect, or render him
worthy of apotheosis. But we are
ready and anxious to applaud whomso
ever merits applause, and in this in
stance. as in the notable one of the veto
of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, we
most heartily join in the popular as
seription, Glory to Andy Johnson! We
publish, on our outside, the message to
the I . S. Senate, in which the President
states his objections to the "Civil Rights
Bill." It is a most ably written docu
ment. In point of legal acumen, as
well as in respect of literary merit, it
is an ornament to the catalogue of Ex
ecutive Documents. But criticism of
so important a state paper isoutof place,
for, of course, everybody will read it
and judge it for himself. Therefore, in
the parlance of the debating societies,
'we leave the floor for a better speaker,'
to wit: the Message itself.
SOMETIiiX; \VRO.\<i.
Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, Sena
tor Lane, of Kansas, and some eight
other Radical Senators, declared in
spH-ches made in the I'. S. Senate that
Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, re
cently ousted from hisseat in that laxly,
was duly and lawfully elected a Sena
tor of the United States. These Sena
tors also voted for the resolution decla
ring him entitled to his seat, which
resolution was vuanimouxly reported by
the Judiciary Committee of the Sen
ate. eompo-ed almost wholly of "Re
publican-." Now, then, here is a State
deprived of its lawfully chosen repre
sentative in the U. S. Senate, and ac
cording to Mr. Trumbull, Mr. Lane and
their fellow "Republicans" who think
as they do, that State is made thus to
suffer, most unlawfully and unright
eously. We address ourselves to men
in the "Republican" party who claim
to Lie honest, when we ask, is there not
something wrong in your party, when
your ablest men, even among the Rad
ical-, pronounce a man fairly and le
gally elected and yet your politicians
oust him in order to make rtxim for
one of their own sort? I oyou endorse
this kind of political brigandage? A
man who would rob a State of her
rights, or purloin a -eat in the U. S.
Senate to give it to one of his friends,
would certainly not hesitate to steal a
chicken, or clean out a banker's safe.
Now, isn't there something#wrong in
the "party of great moral ideas,?"
PEACE!

Just before going to press we receive
the intelligence that the President has
issued a proclamation declaring the in

I.ETTF.R FROM REPRESENTATIVE
BOSS.
In accordance with our custom of giv

themselves aggrieved by any thing we
may print (always, however, provided
they address us in a respectful manner)
we give place, with pleasure, to the fol
lowing letlter from Gen. Ross, explain

time for the construction of the Con
nellsville and Southern Pennsylvania
Railroad:
HARRISBURG, March 20, 1866,
EDITOR BEDFORD GAZETTE: —Your
correspondent, "Lex," thought it ne
cessary for my colleague and myself,
to explain our votes on the Uonnells
viile and Southern Pa. R. Road bill,
and appeared to be somewhat surpris
ed at my vote on said bill; neither of
which remarks do I object to, as I rec
ognize the right of the people to enquire
into the votes and doings of their rep
resentatives; but 1 do not concede the
right of any person, or persons, as has
been done by others, to abuse, and use
epithets, such as are not used by one
gentleman to another. Not agreeing
with you politically, and having uni
formly been spoken of with respect in
your p:q#T, 1 am under obligations to
you for your kindness, and will ven
ture to trespass on your columns to give
the reason for my vote on the bill spok
en of, so that your readers may still re
gard me in the favorable light in which
you have represented me. My action
was based on the following: The peo
ple in tin Southern section of Somerset
County, nearly all of them, are under
the belief that the persons having con
trol of the Connellsviile and Southern
Pa. Road never intended to make a
road, and only had that as a pretext to
kill the Pittsburgh and Connellsviile
Road. I came to the Legislature, feel
ing it to be my business to advance the
interest of the Pittsburg and ('omie! Is
viile road, but, of course, not expecting
to interfereasagainst the < '.A- S. Penna.
road. In conversation with Senator
Householder, my colleague,aud others,
who, I supposed, were, and ought to
be, more immediately in favor of the
<'. As. I'. EL K.. 1 declared I would
vote for whatever reasonable privileges
they might want, as there was no need
of antagonism between the two roads,
and therefore expected them to vote
for the repeal of the Jaw repealing the
charter of tile P. A ('. R. R. I under
stood from both of the gentlemen, that
they would favor our road, the P. A ('.
I, therefore, suppo-ed that those who
were more intimately connected with
the ('.A S. P., if any legislation con
trary t<> the interests of Bedford and
Fulton, was introduced, would turn my
attention to it. and if nothing was -aid
it might be supposed to be all right. A
bill was read in place, Jan. 30, extend
ing theC. A- S. P. R. R. from Uonnells
ville to Pittsburg; reported on Feb. 14,
and passed on Feb. 2Kth, with no note
of alarm from either of the cn-nci.
representing the interest of the road in
the Senate, or those who now give the
great alarm in Bedford. 1 therefore,
in accordance with my previous decla
rations, voted for the hill, or let it pass
without objection; as I thought it to
he what it- friends wanted, and I be
lieve i did right. It was afterwards
taken to the Senate. Mr. Householder
and others undertook to amend it, as
to the time of beginning the construc
tion, and completing it, with very
little success, until, it is said, an out
sider made an arrangement with the
Railroad power of the state to fix the
dates. Your publication of the above
will oblige vours. Arc.,

HARRISBI'RG, March 28, 18GR.
To the Editor of the Age.
About ten (lays after the adjournment
of the late Democratic State Conven
tion, the following statement appeared
in the Washington correspondence of
the New York Tribune:
"It will he remembered that the late
Copperhead Convention of Pennsylva
nia, after nominating Mr. Clynier for
Governor, passed a resolution indors
ing the President's policy. A subcom
mittee was appointed to come on here
and present the resolution in person.—
This grateful mission w as essayed a few
evenings since. The committee were
admitted to an audience with the Pres
ident. and were proceeding, after the
most approved fashion, to assure him
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
had designed no empty compliment;
that they had watched his recent action
with noordinarygratification; and that
they shoe Id standby him and his ad
ministration so long us he so nobly ad
hered to the sacred Constitution. Be
| fore thepcrratiou was reached, thePres
i ident broke in upon them with the sug
gestion that 'the wisest thing they could
do was to go home and change their
ticket.' ile believed that they had
made a fatal mistake in nominating
such a man, especially at this particular
time, with much other remarks of a
i similarly encouraging character. The
; last seen of the Pennsylvania Commit
j teemen they were making for the Bal
-1 timore depot in a fearfully demoralized
i frame of mind."
The false and unfounded assertions
contained in the above extract have
I been reproduced, in various forms, in
I the Republican papers of the State. —
Sfi long as the statements were of a gen
eral character it was deemed unneces
sary to make any reply, but within the
! last lew days 1 have received letters
j from valued friend-, informing me that
I am referred to as having been one of
i the alleged "sub-committee," and mak
ing enquiries of me as to the truth or
' falsity of the above allegations. In re
ply, therefore, to these inquiries, and
to the end that the unfounded charac
ter of the whole extract may fully ap
■ pear, J submit the following state
ment:
1 had the honor to preside over the
: deliberations of the Democratic State
i Convention which nominated Hiester
Clynier for Governor.
it is false that any committeeorsub-
I committee was appointed by the Con
vention or by its presiding officer to
proceed to Washington to present to
the President its resolutions approving
his policy, or for any other purpose
! whatever. No motion was ever made
; in the (Ymvention, nor was any adopt
ed of that nature, nor did any commit
tee or sub-committee, or any individ
uals, authorized by that Convention,
or in any way representing it, go to
Washington " any -neb • rnutd. The
whole statement of the Tribune corres
pondent is one of unmixed and una
dulterated falsehood.
Towards tin-end of the week in which
the Convention assembled, i, in com
pany with other Democratic Pennsyl
vania Senators and members, visited
Washington, and, while there, i and
the Hon. H. 15. Iteardslee embraced the
opportunity of satisfying a long-cher
ished desire to pay our re-pects to the
President, and of assuring him of our
j cordial approval of his restoration poli
cy, and of his veto of that iniquitous
measure, the Freed men's Bureau bill.
During the interview, the proceedings
. (> f 4 '••!> volition wei*" ■ ><". .-*-< <! to,
and I tiwik occasion to assure the Pres
ident of the sincerity and unanimity
with which his policy was supported
by its members. The resolutions of
our Convention were alluded to by the
President—he remarking that they
were clear, pointed, concise, and that
they could not be misunderstood.
The candidate of our party was not,
at any time or in any v ay, directly or
indirectly, referred to by the President
or ourselves. Nothing occurred during
the interview which rendered it proper
or necessary; nordid the President, by >
any expression or suggestion, lead us !
to suppose that he was unfriendly to
Mr. Clynier. The visit was truly grat- j
ilying to ourselves, and we have 110 j
reason to doubt but that it was accepts- j
hie to him. •
1 may here state upon the very high
est authority, thtit the President him
self emphatically repudiates and denies
that he has ever, to any one, made any
statement in reference to the noniina
| tion of Mr. Clynier, which could by
possibility be tortured into the expres
sion of sentiments attributed to him in
tin* foregoing extract. It has been left
lor the malice and mendacity of disap
pointed and chagrined disuniunists to
give a version to an interview of pri
i vate gentlemen with the President,
which would be most in accordance with j
their hopes and desires, hut which u- j
4 fortunately for them and their aims,
