The Convention called by Gen. Har

Fitz is the very personification, the

of the demi-devils that have used the
pulpit to instil into the public mind

.ui article copied from a D. D. pap r
called the Harrisburg 'ft ihvyrttpb, tie
substance of which a.aide i-the v< .o
by President Johnson of the bill ad
milting the Territory of Colorado as a
state into the IJnion. It accuses the
President of proffering to the .Senators
of that Territory admittance into the
iTiion, provided they would support
bis policy. The article says they be
came indignant at the President'- prop
osition and that he then vetoed the
Bill. Let "all the world and 11> • rest
of mankind'' read the President's veto
message and they will lind that ir was
on some other account that tiie veto
was made. The President's policy is
not for trade, or sale, like that of the
Radicals. They are willing to swop
Amnesty to the late rebels for Negro
Suffrage so as to keep themselves in
power. The President's objections to
admitting Colorado as a State into the
Union, areas valid as any objections
to any thing wrong could possibly be.
1. The last election held in that Terri
tory to ascertain whether the people
were willing to become a state, was uot
held in a legal manner. Ataforruexelec

ity against its becoming a State, whilst .
at the hisE eleetion held illegally, ">,WO i
and some odd votes were east and only '
150 majority, oolled in favor of becom- (
ing a State. 1. The decrease of popu- j
iation is another reason against its bo- i
coming a State. Such are the reasons.'
the President stands upon, lie:- a
law-abiding man; ho dee-n't make <

II? March. 1546, the rirs: ,-ection- of the
bridge, 1 -el ween the then borough and
