The Democratic County Convention
will meet in thi- place, on Tuesday,
Ju iel9th, for the purpose of nomina
t.ug a County ticket and transacting
such other business as may propetly
come before it. Tiii- body i- sovereign
so far as the affairs of the Democratic
party in this county are eoneerne .
Tn it has been solemnly delegated the
power to do what in its wi.-dom it may
dU'Viß }}if < J the party,
structed by the people. It will, there
fore, be the duty of the Convention to
at with the greatest possible prudence
and with entire fairness and honesty,
in all that it may undertake to do. In
order that this duty may be fully per
formed, thebest men in the party should
b? elected as delegates. Let it be seen
to ih.u no weak or vacillating men be
son? to the Convention. Let m abe
chosen as delegates who will not vio
-1 ite their instructions from the people.
This point being secure, there can to
no room fv>r complaint, or coolin—. on
the part of defeated candidate-. In
fact, there must be no such coolness.
The present is a time when Democrats
cannot afford to be cool. Kverv candi
date announced for nomination, pledg
es himself to abide by tin? decision ot
the Democratic County Convention,
and this Implies not merely that he
will vote the ticket nominated, hut
that he will do his duty as a Democrat
to assist in electing it. To this he lias
pledged his honor as a man. We mak<
these remarks not for the benefit of a
ny one man, but for Democrats gener
ally. Our experience in the past L
warning for the future. ✓
IT appears that our friend Thomas
Hughes, Esq., one of the Deputy A.—<•--
sors of Internal Revenue for this coun
ty, is published as one of the vice pres
i lents of the Disunion meeting held in
this place, on Tuesday evening of last
Court week, at which a resolution was
passed which declared that "in the pas
sage of the Civil Rights Bill, over the
veto of President Johnson, we find the
highest proof of their (Congress') fi
delity to the glorious principles of Re
publican government," Ac. <>f course,
Mr. Hughes, being an office-holder un
der President Johnson, had no lot. or
part in a meeung that would pass such
a resolution. In order to give him an
opportunity to repel the foul asper
sion upon his Johnsonian principles,
we have thought it projx-r to (-all his
attention to the publication of his name
as above stated.
CLYMER is the word! We must
climb over tiie Disunion breast-works
at the coining election. The "Cam
paign Climber 5 ' will show you how to
do it.

Theso-cailed "Republican" meeting, j
which was held at the Court House, on ;
i
Tuesday evening of last Court week,;
passed some resolutions which certain
ly cannot be swallowed by many "Re
publicans" in this county, and must go j
down likea dose of Limerick fish-hooks
with quite a number of others. We j
quote two of them, as reported by Col.
John H. Filler, and adopted by the
meeting:
Rewind. That the- Union Republican
party of Bed ford county, earnestly and
cordially approve of xhe efforts of the
majority in Concur#.* in re*oustruoting
the Government in accordance with
the principles of civil liberty : that in
the passage of the Civil Rights Bill,
over the veto of President-Johnson, we
find the highest proof of their fidelity
to the glorious principles of Republican
I Government, an are earnest that they
j will remain faithful to the end.
! Resolved , That the recent report of
: the Joint Committee of Congress on
Reconstruction afford- a basis upon
which ail true and loyal men can unite;
by which treason <-an he made odious
and traitors punished, and States lately
in rebellion n-tored to the Union at
; the earliest moment consistent with the
; peace and safety of the nation.
There you have it! Can you swallow
aqua fortis. masticate sole leather, or
digest India rubber". If you can, the
above resolutions are suitable diet for
your politicc 1 -tomaeh. .Mark, the fir-t
re-olution "earnestly and cordially ap
prove-of the ..tort-of the majority in
Congress in reconstructing the Govern
ment in accordance with the principles
of civil lib rty." Xow. in what do the
"effort- of the majority in Congress"
in reconstructing iheGovernnieni eon
j sisr ? Every body knows that the
; "majority in Congress" voted to force
Xtc/ro Suffrage upon the people of the
! District of Columbia. Thisisoneof their
: "effort-in reconstructing the Govern
ment in accordance v ith the principles
jof civil liberty." They passed the in
-5 famou- Freedmen's Bureau Bill.wliich
j \va> -o odious that* some of them who
had voted for it, vobd against passing
S it over the President's veto and it failed
ito become a saw. This i - another of
! the aforesaid "efforts." They also pas
sed the Civil Rights Bill, which rnak< -
biack.-and whit< - equal -before thelaw.'
"Effort" number three of the faithful
majority in Congress. Finally they
rushed through the lower house, the
report of the Committee of Fifteen,
which provides indirectly for Xegro
Supra ye, and which dee/an.* the Union
dwotred until 1870! Thi- is I he grand
climacteric of the tremendous
of the majority in Congress to recon
struct the Government in accordance
with the principles of civil liberty!"
r (uok. iw>Uv o Kpniihl
icnn. oufsuip of the chrotifr r
tioni-ts, who assume to rule the j;:ifK l j
that endor-es the resolutions we have
quoted? We know many "Republi
can-" who have per-istently declared
that they would*cease acting with their
party whenever it committed itself to
X. ftro Suffrage, or the Eepudity of tin
It ewes. If Mich men can now ee.fkvse
the resolutions reported by Col. Filler
and adopted by the late "Republican"
meeting, tliey mu-t eat their own
words arid acknowledge rhut. after all.
their political action does not depend
si much upon their word of honor, or
upon ihfir hornet belief a.-u> what is
right, as upon, what their leaders in
Bedford tell them they must do. Why,
the re-olution- referred to, coiiimit the
Republican party of Bedford eoumy
riputri'ly (twl n/tee/uireman'y hj a full en
dorsement of the actum of < ongrees in ro
tiny to force Xretro Suffrage upon the
District of Col urn hi a. Xay, w hat is
worse, they pledge the Republican par
ty of Bedford county, to Disunion—-to a
dissolution of tin- I 'nion until 1 -7b! Thi
is not mere inference. It is fart. Let
"Republicans" read the resolutions o|
which we -peak, and then let them
look at the proceedings of Congress du
ring the pa-t five months and say
whether we <lo not tell "the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth."
HARD UP, indeed, are the Disunion
i-t-. for something to crow over. Dis
aster after disaster has befallen them,
until they snatch at the very smallest
crumb of comfort imaginable, it ,-eoni
that William-port, in this State, h
elected the Disunion ticket by 1?9 ma
jority. This is heralded abroad as a
Disunion gain of 2bo!! But the tele
graph fails to tell the public, that since
the last election. Williamsport ha- been
erected into a city, the old borough
limits being extended so as to take in a
large voting population which has al
ways given immense anti-Democratic
majorities. The truth is that the Dem
ocrats gained largely in this election,
their majority in the old borough
ward- being 178, the Disunion Aboli
tion ticket having had a majority in
the same ward-last fall. So much for
thi- little crumb of consolation to the
Disunlonists.
CIRCULATE the truth! The "Cam
paign Climber" will be an indispensa
ble document during the approaching
campaign. Our friend-throughout the
county are respectfully requested to get
up clubs for it.
THE XEff ATrZTror OF PARTIES.
j A complete change has taken place
; in the views of the leaders of the s<>
i called "Republican" party. We leave
it to the candor of every "Republican"
who may chance to read this article,
j whether he did not always understand
! his party to hold
1. That a iSiate cuienot lavjally wedt
/mm the I a ion.
2. That it >.* the duty of tin <iorern-
I
ment to put down rebellion .> that State.*
j takenout of th( I nioti hy force, may fw
restor> dto fin ir places in tin t 'nxou.
Was this not lately the doefrine of
th" "so-called "Union" party? ii can
not he denied that it was. Now, then,
if "a Statecan not lawfully secede from
the Union;" how come- it that a ■Re
publican" Congress regards eleven
State- wliieh tried to secede, as lawful
ly out of the Union ? 1- this not a
complete change of front".' Originally
"Republicans" told us that a State can
not lawfully secede; now tliey tell us
that eleven States did secede and are,
intheeyeof thelaw, out of the Union!
Again, in accordance* with their former
theory that "it is the duty of the
Government to put down rebellion, so
that Stabs takenout of the Union by
force, may he restored to their places in
the Union." the reliollion in the eleven
Southern States I uis been nut down, yet
the "Kepuhii* on" O 'i.gre-s • 1-• - not
regard those St a tes as restored to the
Union. Strung?tergiversation! "The
war," -aid our "Republican" doctors,
: "is waged to re store the Union; if our
armi ■■ whip 11: e rebel-, it- restoration
will be achieved." But now we are
told by many who formerly taught
u-1 his doetrin that the Union is not
restored ; in other words, tliat the ob
ject tor which the. declared the war
wa- waged, has not been attained. How
clear, then, i- it that the "Republican"
Congress has abm.doned the platform
lof the late. "Union" party and that
r they have, fallen back upon the origin-
:il position of such Abolitionists as Gar
rison, Phillips. Banks and Greely. who
time and again decluredthat they were
willing to "let the Union slide!' ? Pres
ident Johnson, Secretary Seward, and
those who think with them, -til! stand
upon the Un\on platform; but Sum
ner, Wilson, Wade and Stevens, and
their followers, have returned to their
firstand true love, DievnUui. We make
thi stateim rd with all possible solem
nity and earnestness. It * the GoeVs
tenth! —On the other hand the Demo
cratic party stand- upon the platform
of theC'oiv-titution, where it has always
stood, anrl thus it stands, aPo, upon the
Stevens and company, but still occupi
ed hy President Johnson : for the ( On
stitution is the bond of the Union
and the two are convertible terms.
These are facts which none dare dis
pute. Su'h i- the true attitude of par
ties. Will intelligent, patriotic and
upright men change front with Stevens,
Sumner and their confrere-, o." will
they hi consistent and stand where they
stood with Andrew Johnson durin;? the
war, ayuin-i the lawfulne-s of Secession
and for a restored Union?
TAX I:S ! TAX KS ! TTX E* !
What a bargain the people made in
18(50. when they swopped Democratic
i
rale for Disunion Abolition slavery!
B -fore that pitiful mistake, no one
knew what a Federal Tax-Collector
looked like, or what it was to \\ rite on
- amped pap'v. But now, says the
Crawford Democeat, there are certain
taxes to be paid annually—taxes every
month—taxes every week—taxes every
day—taxes in the morning -taxes at
noon—taxes in the evening—taxes ev
ery hour—taxes every minute—taxes
on all that is worn—taxes on all that is
eaten—taxes on all that isdrunk—taxes
on what you consume—taxes on hous
es—taxes on Jand—taxes on horses —
j taxes on cows—taxes on sheep—taxes
on hogs—taxes on ducks—taxes on the
child as it comes into the world—taxes
| on every class and condition in life—
taxes on the last stroke of the hammer
that drives the last nail into the coffin
1 of the dead—taxes on the shroud that
envelopes the lifeless body—and taxes
! on the verv grave itself that is free
.
from all intrusion, save the remorse
; less grasp of Radical taxation. We
i were taxed to set the. negro free, and
are now taxed to feed and clothe and
educate him in his state of freedom.
Taxed to make paper money, and then
; taxed to pay the loss when bank offi
| cers steal Government funds. If a
| man makes jCiiUi a year, In* pays that
much in taxes—if lie makes the
result is the same. White men now live
I and labor to pay taxes. This is what
the so-called ttepuMican party has done
for the country. Surely, every man
! ought to vote for the candidates of such
a partv!

The resolutions adopted at our late
j county meeting are receiving the most
flattering commendations from our
brethren of the press. Even away out
in Ohio they admire the tone and tem
per of Bedford county, a> witness the
j following from the Hancock Courier,
| edited by Lewis (Ressner, Esq.:
To THE POINT.—At a meeting of the
■ Democracy, and other I'nion men, of
Bedford county, Pa., the following
: pointed and admirable resolution was
j passed:
| /l(si>/re<l , That we are for the irhnte
i I'nion, as our fatiiers established it, as
i our soldier- fought for it, and as the
| patriot Andrew Johnson is now stri
; ving to restore it: arid we hold all men
a- eTiemies of the Union and traitors to
I the Government, who believe in a dis
severed country and mutilated flag; a
country such as Thaddeu- Stevens' and
the Radicals in Congress would make
for us, with (/cent Stnfex ulrieken jroui
the Hepubtio, a flag With eleren star*
blotted out of the conxtellotion.
That evpre-.-e- our views fully, and
we heartily endo *se it in every line and
I Word.
\Y i respectfully request tiie Demo
cratic vigilance committees in thesev
♦•ral'election districi- of this county, to
take subscription* for ilit- "I •Jiipaign
<'limber."" Each district can surely
raise sjt). Let the matter be presented
to the attention of the liemocratic vo
ters at the Delegate elections.
IN quite a number of townships in
this county, Democratic club- were
formal last winter. Are they being
kept open? Regular monthly meet
| ings should he held by each of these
I clubs and new members should oeao
| ded whenever they can be o-taincd.
Bedford county can easily give (KM) ma
jority for Clynier, if the friends of the
Right exert themselves. Our political
opponents are so clearly in the wrong
at present, tliat we should have no dif
ficulty in swelling our ranks with rc-
I eruits from their organization. Be
i sides, they are divided and distrae
i ted by the irreconcilable difference Ixv
| tween the President and Congress.
Now is the tunc to work. Put on the
harms — and let u.- all pull together.
EVERY township in this county
should have a package of fifty copies of
the "Campaign Climber" distributed
weekly among it- people. The sum of
S2O will get the fifty copies. What dis
trict cannot raise that sum lor so laud
able a purpose?

PIIII,AOKLI'IIrA, May 10.—The V
cadeiny of Music was crowded to night
to its "fullest i xtent by an enthusiastic
audience of ladies and gentlemen, to
listen to speeches by Senators Cowan
and Doolittle in support of President
Johnson. ! lenrySimons, Esq., occupied
the chair. Senator Doolittle after treat
ing the subject of the rebellion and the
present issue before the country, de
clared that the man who denied the
Union of the States under the Constitu
tion, j- himself a disunionist. (Enthu
siastic applause.) He refuted the many
calumnies that had been raised against
the persona! character of the President,
and expressed his firm belief that no
man living, was more assiduously and
conscientiously engaged in the dis
charge of his duty to his country than
Andrew Johnson. (Loud Applause.)
He illustrated the policy of President
Lincoln in the reconstruction of Louis
iana and Arkansas; its admission into
the Union, which policy had been en
dorsed at the Baltimore Convention,
and by a majority in both Houses of
('ongress a year ago. to show that the
policy of President Johnson was not a
new one, but that it was in obedience
to the wishes of the Union party, in
stead of the President proving falsp,
the men who were now leading the
Union party were perverting its grand
objects and intentions, the restoration
of the Union and the enforcement of
the laws.
Senator Cowan followed in an elo
quent argument in defence of sustain
ing the law, by virtue of which the
the rebellion had been crushed. The
, President'a plan of reconstruction re ;
I lied alone upon the authority of the <
Constitution, the law of the land.-
(Cheers.) If the Southern people had
not forgotten their obedience to the •
Constitution, there would have la-en no
rebellion. He was opposed to any
amendment of tin- Constitution at the
present time. iflreat and eontiuued
applause. ) As endorsers of the Presi
dent's policy, la- would ni"ution Se
ward, Stanton, Welles, Grant, Sher
man, Meade, Hancock and others.—
(Vociferou cheering. On the <>ther
hand, in opposition, he placed the
names of Stevens, Butler and others.
' < Mingled hisses and slight applause.
In conclusion, Mr. Cowan said that
his hope was in the virtue and integri
ty of the people, both North and Soutn.
The Southern people had suffered se
verely, and now was tin time to extend
mercy after they had -urrenoered to
the law.
After other speeches by disiitigtusn
