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

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

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. Montgom
ery Blair as President. Such "Repub
licans" as Senator Norton, of Minne
sota, Marcus J. Parrott.of Kansas, and
Senator Van Winkle, of Wsst Virgin

bers.
—The Washington correspondent of
N. V. Tribune, says that the President
has ordered the Heads of Departments
to withhold all advertising from For
ney's C/i/'O/oVWandall other papers that
oppose the policy of the Administra
tion.
—The radicals of Milwaukee called
a convention of "the people" a few days
ago, to further some of their pestilent
schemes, when the parties invited
gathered in such force as to completely
rout the callers of the Convention.
—Hon. Hiester Clymer, the Demo

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.

The great gain for the Democratic

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.

The result shows a gain of two Con

Abolition district needs only 15,776.

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

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.

lease of Bradley Johnson, was issued at
