Friday Morniuj, April 13. !*. DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. FOR GOVERNOR, Hon. HIESTER CLYMER. OF HERKS COUNTY. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE NEGRO. Both houses of Congress have passed the Civil Rights Bill, notwithstanding the veto of the President. That this law is unconstitutional, we have theas suranee of the most eminent jurists in the country. Senator Cowan said a few days ago, in his speech in the Senate, that lie had but one word to describe it —atrocity . There can no longer Ik l any question as to the designs of the men who made this law. By its provisions they have conferred citizenship upon the negro and made him the political equal of the ichife man. Nay, they have discriminated in favor of the black and against the white. On this point Pres ident Johnson and the majority of his cabinet, including Mr. Seward, are our witness. In his me-sage returning the Civil Rights Bill to the Senate, Presi dent Johnson says: "The bill in effect proposes a discrim ination against large numbers of intel ligent, worthy and patriotic foreigners, and in favor of thf* negro to whom after long years of bondage, the avenues to freedom and intelligence have just now been suddenly opened. He must, of necessity, from his previous unfortunate condition of servitude, lie less informed as to the nature and character of our institutions, than he who, coming from abroad, has to some extent, at least, familiarized himself with the principle of a government to which he voluntar ily entrusts life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Vet it is now proposed, by a single legislative enactment, to confer the rights of citizens upon all persons of African descent born within the limits of the United States, while persons of foreign birth, who make our land their home, must undergo a pro bation of five years, and can only then become citizens upon proof that they are of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same." As to the extent of the "civil rights" which this law confers upon the negro, let Mr. Bingham, one of the leading "Republican" members of Congress from Ohio, speak. In a speech upon this identical bill, in the lower house of Congress, Mr. Bingham said : . "What are civil rights?" "Why, sir, the very origin of the term 'civil' ought to satisfy gentlemen on this point, that it h&s relation to the rights and all the rights of the citizen. I submit that the term civil rights in cludes every right that pertains to the citizen under the ('(institution, law and Government of this country. The term ' citizen ' has had a definite mean ingamong publicists ever-inee theday of Aristotle. He interpreted and ren dered that term to signify a person who was a partner in the country. I .sub mit, with all respect, that the term 'po litical rights,' is only a limitation of the term 'civil rights,'and by general acceptation signifies that class of civil rights which are more directly exerci sed by the citizen in connection with the Government. Blackstone, whose, commentaries on the common law are so exact in definition, uses in that clas sic of the law the terms 'civil liberty" and 'political liberty' everywhere as synonymous. It never occurred to him that there was a colorable distinc tion between them." "If eiv.irightsh ivethi-extenf, what then, is proposed by the provision of the first section? Simply la strike down, by congressional enactment, every Slate Constitution which makes a discrim ination on account of ran or color, in ti ny of the civil rights of the '■i'izen. I miirht say here, without the fear of contradiction, that there i- -sanely a State in tin.-- i un>n which doe- not. by its Constitution or by its statute laws, make some discrimination on account of race or color between citizens of the United States in respect of civil rights." Thus, it will be seen that the reserv ed rights of the States have been stricken down, the Constitution over ridden and the will of the people as ex pressed in the laws adopted for their domestic government, set at naught, in order to place the negroes of the United States upon a political equality with the whites. But, happily for the coun try, the present Rump will not fx 1 the Congress of the United States after the 4th of March, 1867. Happily, too, the "Republican" party have at last thrown off the mask and by their enactmentof this law now stand upon the platform j of Black and White Equality. The peo ple will settle the hash of the men who forced this odious law upon the coun try, by c l.X'ting those in their -toad who will vote for its immediate repeal. Henceforward, Repeal is the watch- j word. EX. (iOV. W. F. JOHNSTON. He Denounces the Civil Kiurhts Bill. On Thursday night, sth inst., there was a large meeting of the "Republi can" friend.- of President Johnson, held in Washington city. Among the speak ers at this meeting, was Hon. W. F. Johnston, of Allegheny county, this state, former y Governor, who sustain ed the President in all his vetoes and other public acts. Ex.Gov. Johnston was lately a Radical, but has seen the error of his ways. He spoke of the Freedmen's Bureau and Civil Rights Bills, in the following strong and em phatic language: 'Against that iniquitous law I raised my voice, and I raise my voice against the Civil Rights Bill now being debated in the Senate, arid which no man who feels his State should be independent will ever cast a vote for. [Great cheers. J GLOKY ENOUGH! SHOUT. OH, YE PEOPLE ! LIBERTY, LAW AND JUSTICE! The U. S. Supreme Court has decided that Military Commissioners and mili tary tribunals cannot try citizens not in the army, or navy of the United States. In the eases of Milligan, Bowles and Horsey, known as the Indiana conspiracy cases, the Supreme Court of the United States, has decided that the writ of IlabeasU\rpvs should issue to take the petitioners from military cus tody. These men, Milligan, Bowles and Horsey, it will be remembered, were feaders of the Western order known as the "Sons of Liberty," and were given a mock trial, by a kind of drum-head court-martial, which sen tenced them to death. The President | commuted their sentence to imprison f | ment for life, but the Supreme Court, . j thanks to the supremacy of law, has I now liberated them, upon the ground that the court-martial which tried them . j had no right to do so and that they are . entitled to the benefit of the Ilaheox , j Corpus. Chief .Justice Chase himself delivered the opinion of the Court.— Thus out of the mouths of their own greatest men. are the Radical conspira tors against tin- liberties of the people, ; confuted and condemned. Glory! < ilo * ry! Glory! The day of bastiles is over. ,' The light of liberty once more illumines the land! Law and Justice once again shed their genial influences upon all alike. Blessed be God, for these His great mercies! SOMETHING WRONG. Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indiana. Mr. Baldwin, of Michigan, Mr. Brooks, of ! New York, and Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, all leading Democrats, have been expelled by the Radicals, trom their seats in Congress. The in fluence and votes of these men, were insuperable obstacles in the way of the ! Radical conspiracy against the Presi dent and the Union. Hence, they had ■to be gotten out of the way. No mat ter hoir their removal was to be accom plished, only so that it would he ac complished. was the secret reasoning of the Radicals. The crime against the people which the conspirators commit ted in driving the people's representa tives from their seats in Congress, is, morally, not a -hade less black than the murder ola man in his own bouse in order to posses- his treasure. It bear- j a wondrous similitude to the bloody i baseness of that soulless bea■> who be came King of Denmark by slaying his j own brother. Perhaps the diabolism i of the Radicals may end likewise as did the conspiracy by whiuh Hamlet lost his father and Denmark right ful king. Surely, the people uimt see that there i.<something wrong in the morality of the so-called "Republican" party. The most prominent men in that party in Congress, have found it! inconsistent with their honor, to sup- j port the schemes by which the Kadi-' cai power in that laxly is maintained. Trumbull, the author of the Civil j Rights Bill, and a great Radical him- j self, spoke for hours against the expul-; sion of Senator Stockton. Some ten i Republican Senators supported him in this attitude. In the House, in the I Brooks case, some twenty "liepubli-1 can," with Washburne, of Illinois, at their head, stood by Mr. Brooks. This -hows conclusively, to every reasonable mind, that the majority in Congress are certainly doing some things of very i questionable propriety, lie rail those things by their right names, and de doniinate them crimes uyainst popular ] liberty. But, those who see through a different political medium, must, at least, recognize .ww ethiny tcrony in them, if their eye- are honest. THE <;itr:\T VMTOKV IV <O.V.M:TI (IT. In our last issue we stated that Ilaw ! ley, Radical, was elected Governor of Connecticut, and that the Democrats had gained 8 or 4 senators, Are. The official returns show that Hawlev's ma jority is only 509! Last year Bucking ham, Abolitionist, had 11,085 over Seymour, Democrat, showing a net Democratic gain of 10,526 since last April. Instead of gaining Bor 4 sena- j tors, the Democrats have really gained i 8, whilst in the House of Represents-! ti ves they gained 85. They also carried two of the four Congressional districts | now represented by Radicals, and came within 122 votes of carrying another. New Haven, which gave an Abolition majority last year, gives this time near ly 2,800 Democratic majority. Hart ford, which gave Lincoln a small ma jority and last year gave Buckingham a large one, this year goes Democratic by 825! Fairfield county, hitherto Ab olition, also gives a handsome Demo cratic majority. We consider this a j great triumph over Radicalism, and with the "Republican" Senator Lane, of Kansas, exclaim, "one more such victory as that in Connecticut and the ! 'Republican' party is unhorsed." ANOTHER OUTRAGE. The Radical Directory at Washing ton do up their work of iniquity with such reckless speed, that it keeps the journalist busy to record their deeds of infamy. But a few days ago, they ex pelled Mr. Stockton from his seat in the U. S. Senate, against the protest of one-third of the Senators of their own party and against the vote of nearly one half of the entire Senate. This black and damnable tyranny luis just been repeated in the lower house of Congress, by the expulsion of Mr. .las. Brooks,of New York. In this instance, a- in that of the ousting of Senator Stockton, a number of leading "Re publicans" refused to assent to theper- petration of the outrage. Such men As Farnsworth and Washburne, of Ills., Dumont, of Indiana, and Loan, of Mis souri, all of them Radicals and leaders honored in their party, spoke and voted in favor of Mr. Brooks. On the final vote some tmnty "Republican" mem bers voted against the right of 31 r. Dodge (Mr. Brooks' opponent at the election) to the seat of Mr. Brooks.— But the low and contemptible parti sans whose presence in the halls of Congress, smothers every impulse of fairness and blight- every influence that is honorable, could not afford any longer to tolerate Mr. Brooks as a fel low representative, 'lie was a leader of the peopie, a friend oft he President and a Democrat. These facts were enough to damn him in the eyes of these mannikins, and, therefore, his fate was settled. But, what think you, of such conduct on the part of your representatives in Congress, <) ye "Re publican" voters of the country ? When your own leading men, the most high toned and honorable gentlemen in Con gress, protest against such conduct, what do you say up*m the same subject? Do you, like so many thoughtless school-hoys, applaud the course of mean and dishonorable men in Congress, who expel a member from his sent because he is a prominent Democrat-, or do you stand with Washburne, Farnsworth, Loan and the honorable men who have soul enough to do justice to a political opponent? IF the GAZETTE will |x>int out to iss;uiysup|>ortersof President Johnson's policy this side of reheklom, who do ! not support Mr. Clyiner for Governor we'll think of the question of repudia ting them.— Franklin R<jsjsi/ary. Well, sir, for instance, the editor of the Somerset Herald. A- Whig, who is the Collector of Internal Revenue for this district, and who supports Johnson, i and Cowan, too, but abuses Clyiner like a pick-pocket; what do you say about his ease, Colonel? Don't you want the votes of the Johnson and Cowan "Re publicans" of Somerset county for Mr. Geary? Will you "think of the ques tion of repudiating" /firm ! They don't support Clyiner, but they do sustain Johnson and Cowan. Now, you must either get down into the dirt and crave the help of thee men, oryou must think of "repudiating them." But, we opine you will think a good while on that question, before you come to a conclus ion. Again, there is Mr. It. B. Carna han, C. S. District Attorney, for the western district of Pennsylvania, who is a firm supporter of the President, but who has not yet announced himself I in favor of Mr. Clyliter's election.— What do you propose to do with him ? The late editor of the Wayne-burg Re publican, who has just retired from that concern, because your party organiza tion lias given President Johnson the cold shoulder, is a similar instance.— Hon. Joseph R. Flanigen, of the Phil adelphia Dadg .Yen's, may also he placed in this category. These are friends of the President whose influence in Penn sylvania is not to be sneered at, and if Col. McCluredoes note-are to have them support Mr. Geary, he can't be very deeply interested in the success of that candidate. At any rate some people! would like to know whether the Colonel repudiates Scull. Carnahan, Flanigen &Co ? _______ QUACK! QUACK! Don't you hear the Dead Ducks? Oh! whata squawk ing there is among them since the pas sage of the Negro Civil Rights Bill o- j ver the President's veto! How tliev I stick their dirty hills, full of garbage gathered in the gutters of Radicalism, into thegesse who think they can lie Johnson men and yet vote the Radical ticket!— Quack ! Quack! goes the edi tor who "lives and moves and has his being," in the agitation of the Negro. Quack! Quack ! responds the scurvy politician who changes his party coat oftener than 'live ducks change their feathers. Quack! Quack! repeats the chronic office-seeker who thinks every thing is right that tends toward giving him political position. Go it, Dead Ducks! though you needn't be so as siduous in making the noise peculiar to your kind, for the people will have no trouble in setting you down as Quacks, anyhow. THE glorious proclamation of Peace and Re-llnion and of the restoration of the Habeas Corpus, will he found on our first page. Read it, every ou p, and rejoice. THE REPUBLICAN' PARTY "CRIMB TO PIECES!" It is not the editor of the BEDFORD GAZETTE whomakes this startling,but gratifying announcement; it is the Hon. James H. Lane, U. 8. Senator from Kansas. In the Senate, on Friday last, Senator Kme offered some resolutions, upon which he made a speech. In the course of that speech, he made use of the following language: MR. LANE— I have noassuranee from the President on that or any other sub ject. (Referring to the acceptability of his resolutions to President Johnson). But this I do know, that the Repubti can party, of latieh / am a member, is crumbling to pie-ex, and that every day we postpone the reception of these States, insures the destruction of that party. Here is one of tlie most prominent and activeleatersof the "Hepublican" party, openly •oul'sssing that his party is "crumblingto pieces;" and what is more, he says that the reason of the "crumbling" ;s their refusal to admit the.Southern dates into the L'nion. In other words, i is Disunion that is ki 11- I ing the "Republican" iarty. When men like Jim Lane give the alarm, the ship must surely be in danger of sink | big. THE passage, !>,- the U. S. Senate, of the Negrd (-ivil Rights Bill, notwith standing the veto d' the President, is a stride toward the social and political equality of the whitt and black races .in this country. Thir.gs are tending so rapidly in this direction and events in thi- connection are so sudden, that there is scarcely time for argument, or appeal to the reason and judgimnt of the pop ular masse*. In fact, it k not necessa ry to argue this question with the peo ple. They are right in rcgudto it, and only lack organization to make their principles successful in politics. Such organization must be instituted at once, or it will be too late to catch and crys taiize public sentiment. Xovv is the time to do it, and it can he done right now. Some one asks us, How? Well, you have heard of the society of the Cincinnati, of the Union League, and other -amiiar institutions. They were successfully organized, in a brief peri od, and so can a White Mi ore ( ition be organized in a still briefer period. It is now time that all who believe in per petuating this as a White Man's Goc ernment, unite together in bonds supe rior to any ties except those alone of family and religion. < >ld party lines must not stand in the way. If you would save your country from the fate of San Domingo and Jamaica, throw party to the dogs and unite with those men whoare in favor of preserving this Government as it was handed down to us by it- founders. Ask no questions as to the political antecedents of those with whom you may be called to act. If they be Democrats, no matter; if they have been Republicans, no matter again. All who are willing to stand up for a White Man 1 * (ioeerninent are worthy to be associated with you, re gardless of their former political affili ations. That such organization must and will he resorted to, in order to check the revolutionary proceedings of the Radicals, seem- certain to our mind. The sooner, therefore, that it is established, the better. THE GREAT KI'.CISUO. We find in the t'onstitntionat Cnio/i of Saturday last, the following decis ion of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, in the "Indiana conspiracy Case," liberating from the Ohio Peni tiary, Messrs. Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, which decision was delivered by Chief Justice Chase: Ex parte. —Jn the matter of Lambdin P. Milligan, petitioner: The following order is directed by a majority of the court to be entered in thi- cause, and the like order will be entered in No. <*!(>a, ex parte, in the matter (if William A. Bowles, petitioner, and No. ex parte , in the matter of Stephen Horsey, petitioner. This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the Circuit Court of the United States for the dis j trict of Indiana, and on the points and j questions on which the said judges of i the Circuit Court were opposed in opin : ion, and which were certified to this court for its opinion, agreeably to the j act of Congress in such case made and | provided, and was argued by counsel. I On consideration thereof the court is of j opinion: First—That on the facts, as stated in | said petition and exhibits, a writ of ha beas corpus ought to be issued, accord to the prayer of said petition. Second—That on the facts stated in the said petition and exhibits, the said Lambdin P. Milligan ought to be dis charged from custody as in said petition prayed, according to the act of Congress passed on the :Jd of March, ISGd, enti tled an act relating to the habeas corpus and regulating judicial proceedings in certain cases: and, Third—That on the facts stated in said petition and exhibit, the military commission mentioned therein had no jurisdiction legally to try and sentence said Lambdin P. Milligan in the man ner and form as in said petition and ex hibits are stated. And it is thereupon now ordered and judged by this court that it be so certified to the said circuit court. The Chief Justice said he was instruct ed to say that the opinion of the court in these eases will be read at the next term, when such of thedissenting judges as see tit to do so will state the ground of dissent. The petitioners, it will be recollected, were found guilty by a military com mission of the charge of conspiracy and condemned to death, but the sentences were commuted by the President to im prisonment for life. They tire now in the Ohio penitentiary. The case was heretofore argued bv Judge McDonald of Indiana, Gen. J. A. Garfield oft fiiio, Hon. Jeremiah S. Black of Pennsylva nia,and Hon. David Dudley Field of New York, for the petitioners, and by General B. F. Butler, Henry Stanbury, Esq., of Ohio, and Attorney General Speed for the United States. SACRILEGE. The devilishncss of the men who have been taught in the school of Rad ! icalism, is showing its cloven foot more i distinctly day by day. In the House of Representatives at 1 larrisburg, on Thursday, April •, Mr. Sturtevant, a "Republican" member from Crawford county, declared that George Washing t ton was not a greater or.a better man | than Thaddeus Stevens, or Thomas j Williams! It is a wonder that a just ! God does not visit the punishment of ; Ananias and Sapphira upon such sacri j legious lying. We give the debate be ' low in which this infamous declaration I was made: Mr. Sturtevant argued that the Con i stitution was too weak, and the late | war proved it to he so, therefore it | should he amended by the loyal men of the country. Me said the Democrat ic jwrty were in favor of taxing the United States bonds out of existence, : thereby creating repudiation, lie said i the Union party demanded that the j Constitution should lie amended to pre i vent another rebellion. There has been I a great deal said about the amendments j to the Constitution being as plenty as I resolutions at a town meeting, as'was • said by our accidental President. He I would lie unwilling to admit any of | the Southern States in full fellowship j until all the children, black and white, j would have an education. He did not i believe any govern men t could exist for j ever if all men did not have the right jto vote. He was in favor of the Chi ■ nese in California having the right to J vote. | He said, 1 believe, that the Congress | now sitting in Washington is the ablest | that ever sat there. 1 believe that no l Congress since this Government began S to exist ever possessed so many able! s men as that in session at the present | j time. Mr. Lawrence. Will the gentleman j ! allow me to ask him a question ? ! Leave being granted— Mr. Lawrence. Did the gentleman say that the present Congress embraced more wisdom than any previous Con | gress, and that they were wiser than tiieir forefathers? Mr. Sturtevant assented. Mr. Law rence. Will the gentleman j name four men of the present Congress i a- great as four I can name, and who lived in the same age, and acted in the ; same year? Mr. Sturtevant. Name them. Mr. Lawrence. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. Mr. Sturtevant. Yes, sir. I believe there are twenty-five men now in < 'on tnv.-- abler, or as able, as any one out I of the four mentioned by the gentleman from York. Mr. Lawrence. Name them. A Voice. Take both parties. Mr. Sturtevant. (With hesitation. I Weil, sir. I believe, Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner and Thomas Williiam ; are abler men. Aye, sir, every one of them abler men than the four specified, i George Washington was a great man | and a good man ; but not more so than ! Abraham Lincoln, than Thaddeus Ste j vens, than Thomas Williams,and many j other men.

CLYMEB AND TIIK PRESIDENT.—A correspondent of the New York Trib une recently stated the nomination of Mr. Clymer was received with marked dissatisfaction by the President, Per haps the statement was not overdrawn. Be this as it may, we have excellent authority for declaring that Mr. Cly mer has been a frequent and welcome visitor at the White House during the last six months.— -Pittsburg Gazette, Itep. —The Missouri Democrat of the 27th ult., says: "Within two weeks from to-day, two thousand passengers, prin cipally miners, and three thousand tons of freight, will have left this port on steamboats for the Montana and Idaho mines." —Surgeon General Phillips, of Penn sylvania, has resigned. POLITICAL SEWS. —The Conservatives have carried St. Louis, Mo., by 3,(Mm majority, electing their candidate for Mayor and three fourths of the members of Council. St. Louis was hitherto a Radical city, but the influence of (Jen. F. P. Rlair and other prominent men who have recent ly left the "Republican" party, has brought it to its senses. —At the recent election in Connecti cut, the Democrats carried two of the four Congressional Districts. At pres ent all four are represented by Radi cals. Had an election for members of Congress taken place, two members would have been taken from the Radi cal column and added to that of the Democrats. —A Johnson Club has been formedat Washington city, with Hon.

THE SUM TAEIT* OF tl Vim'AI.INU. < n day before yesterday, says the Age, ot Saturday last, Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Cowan, Mr. Guthrie, and others, in the most respectful and earnest manner, asked a postponement of the vote on the Civil Rights billinthe I "nited States Senate,on theground that certain mem bers of tiiat body were absent, detain ed by illness. They solicited hut ashort delay, and promised to ask for no exten sion of it, if the sick men were unable to be present at the time fixed for the vote; whereupon they met with this retort from the Senator from Ohio: Mr. Wade opposed any postponement. If this was an ordinary question he would have no objection. The Presi dent had no right to veto their acts, and assuming to do so ho was playing the part of a dictator. So far from its Iteingany reason because members were sick who desired to uphold the despot ic assumptions of the President that a postponement should be agreed to, he (Mr. Wadei was for taking every ad vantage which the Almighty has put into their hands. The President had picked this quarrel with Congress, and for the sole reason that he wanted the rebels back here occupying their seats, if he (Mr. Wade) did not oppose this u surpati<m and take every advantage which the Almighty otiered, he would be censured by the people whose repre sentative he was. He was willing to sit here all night and all to-orrow if neces sary. The infamy of this declaration defies comment. It is based on the maxim that the end justifies the means—a max im which embodies the logic and the ethics of the assassin, but falls with an ungracious sound from the iips of a Senator. Our in ConiHM'tient. The great gain for the Democratic ] party in Connecticut can only he realiz ed bv taking the count by Congression ; al districts; and considering the fact j that the State is at present represented by four Abolitionists, the vote by dis i tricts is as follows: FIRST DISTRICT. Counties, Hair lei/. English. \ Hartford, 8,(518 8,937 Tolland, . 2,878 1,9.17 10,996 10,K74 Abolition majority, 122 SKI'ON l> DISTRICT. !

The Washington Qutnt-Uuihnvl I'- ll ion has the following cheering dis patch: LEAVENWORTH, Kansas, April 3. i The -igniflcance of our municipalelec- I tion is not, i apprehend, understood in Washington; the contest was clearly for the policy of President Johnson in re mitting the question of negro sutt'rag to the States, where it constitutionally belong.-, as against the interference of Congress upon that question, determin j iug universal negro suffrage. Hon. Thomas Carney, formerly Gov -1 ernor of the State, iadministration Lane candidate, was elected over B. F. A- kers, radical Pomeroy candidate, by 1.710 majority. This is a great Unkm victory and should he so hailed by ev ! ery friend of the policy of Andrew John ; son in the country. The Cincinnati Election. The Enquire)* of Tuesday, in noti cing the city election, which came off ! on Monday, after stating the result far exceeded the expectations of the I>e nioeracy, says:—The immense repub lican majority of one year ago has been reduced one-half. It has fallen off from ti.ono in to 3,000 in 18fit>, and even , far below this on a portion of the tick et. The republicans were fully erami zed, and had possession of the patron age of the Government, local, State and j Federal. The I )emocracy were but im i perfectly organized, and had no hope of success in most of the wards. They j have, therefore, done exceedingly well under the circumstances. The "result j affords an earnest that, with energeti. work, the county can be carried fortbe ! ! Jemooraey by a handsome majority. In the wards where the Democracy 1 made a contest, tlieir majority is ex t ceedingly large. Cljnicr iiud his Vole*. We cut the following from the Dem ocratic.STtfoulard, which is an explana tion in full of some of Mr. CLYMEK'S votes as published in the Republican papers. Voting against considering a resolution because the Senate i -not or ganized is a very different thing from voting against it on its merits. The votes published are all only on agree ing to consider the resolutions at that 1 time: It will be remembered that at the meeting of the Legislature of !>*>)>, the : two parties in the Senate were equally : divided, owing to the absence of Sena i tor White. The Republicans insisted j that the organization of the previous Legislature be continued, and that they could do business with the old Speaker, Clerks. Ac., all of whom were Republi ' cans. The Democrats denied this, de manded a new election, as had always i been done, and voted against every | proposition that was brought up for the | purpose of forcing an election and un ! constitutional organization. The Re puhlicans took advantage of tiff- and brought forward any quanity of resolu tions and motions so as to place the Democrat- in a false position. The lat ter voted against every such resolution and motion, not because they were op posed to it, but because all legislation was illegal until the Senate was prop erly organized. The Republican papers are now publishing some of the resolu tions that were then voted on, to make a bad record for Mr. Clymer. This ac tion we conceive to be about as mean a business as men can be engaged in, Dd not too mean for the party engaged in it. Mr. ('lyiner and his friends can and will defend his record when truthfully given, and also his action and votes in that disorganized and unconstitutional squabble of the opposition, butler the case be fairly and truthfully presented. That is all we ask. YVtiicSi is I Im> ITiioii Par!) ? President Johnson, on the 23d "it. •said to several Connecticut gentlemen: "TILE UNION' PARTY IS NOTTHE PARTY OF THE It A PICA 1*8."- "When I said the Union partv, i I*"' NOT MEAN THE MEN WHO ART ENDEAVORING TO BREAK L \ THIS UN'ION". BUT THE M EN WHO j STAND RY ME!" "I helieve the maintenance of this Union depends up on the policy which I have indicated to Congress, and those wiio sustain THAT I'tll.l.'A ARE MY FRIENDS, AN I' i THOSE WHO OPPOSE THAT rOLICY .'CERTAINLY HAVE NO DESIHE TO SEE ELECTED TO ANY OF FICE!" The Democratic party sustains Pres ident Johnson's policy, and the Radi cal party does not. Therefore the Dem ocratic party stands by the Union, and the other does not. Hiester Clymer supports the President's white man s course, and General Geary does not.— The President's choice between them is, therefore, plain.— Lancnster Intelli gencer. —The President's order for the re lease of Bradley Johnson, was issued at the request of Gen, Prant. m
