The Democratic County Convention which assembled in this place, on Tues day last, came up entirely to our high expectations, and behaved in a most prudent, harmonious and patriotic manner. Of course, all could not have their Jirst choice nominated, but j the nominations give very general sat- j isfaction. The candidates for county ; effi -esare all good men and will make ; an excellent canvass. We shall refer | to them individually in the future. — Considering the number of candidates, there is less dissatisfaction with the ; nominees than we have ever known before, and we have no doubt whatev- | er, that, under any and all circumstan ces, the ticket will be elected by an j overwhelming majority. Democrats, you have a good ticket; go to work and sustain it with all your energies! DEATH OF CiEV. I.E.AVIS C ASS. The last of the compeers of Clay and Webster, Mr. Buchanan alone except ed, has passed from earth. Gen. Lewis ; Cass died at his home in Detroit, Mich- j igan, on Sunday last, at 1 o'clock in the morning. The whole country will mourn the death of this venerable pa triot, and mourn the more because s> few are left to occupy the position he held in society and in American States manship. Gen. Cass lived to the good old agepf 83 years. AT a recent fair in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county, (Geary's home) a vote was taken for Governor, ten cents being the price of a single vote. The whole number of votes east was 3.700, and the result was as follows: Clvmer, 2,300 Geary, Idol' Clymer's majority, 000 And this in face of the fact that Me chanicsburg has heretofore been strong ly "Republican." Ax informal meeting of the soldiers of the State will be held at Harrisburg, on the 28th inst., for the purpose of call ing a Sta e Convention of Soldiers fa vorable to the election of Mr. Clymer. The Pittsburg Geary swindle doesn't go down with the "boys in blue." "Climber" Clubs.— We are receiv ing some large accessions to our list of subscribers to the "Campaign Clim ber." Wood berry, Cumberland Val l y, Union and Juniata report large oubs. Let our friends iu tAinar ditwjcia jaunt by L&.'tr Csiaiip*:. 1 THE NEW TRICK TO I*ORCE N'EORO , SUFFRAGE 1 PON THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. j The Disunion Congressional Diree j tory have at last agreed upon their plan [ |of "reconstruction." It consists of an i ; amendmentto the Federal Constitution I the principal object of which is to es- i J tablish Negro Suffrage. We publish j the amendment entire in another col-,' j umn. Let us examine it for a momeiV-. Section first declares that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the j jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Xo State ahallmake or en forceuny taw which shall abridge the priv ilege# or immunities of citizens of the Uni ted States; nor shall any State deprive any person of li/e, liberty,or property, with out due process of law, or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Observe; "Alt persons born, or natur alized in the United States," are made! "citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Certainly and indisputably this means that Ne groes, Mulattoes, and every body else (alljtcrsous) shall Ik- citizens. Now, the leading Disuniouists in Congress argue that citizenship embraces every right that can be enjoyed under our form of Government. They tell us j that one citizen is as good us another, I and, therefore, that a white citizen can j have no privileges which do not equal- J ly attach to the black. Thus they in tend to compel the people to accept No gro Suffrage. First, by this amend ment to the Constitution, they propose to make " all persons," including Ne groes, citizens. Next, the Negro be ing a citizen, they will demand for him the same rights as are exercised by oth er citizens. Should any State attempt to interfere against their scheme by legislation, they will say, "You dare not deny to any person within your j juiisdietion the equal protection of the j laws." To carry out their programme, i should they have a majority in Con- j gress, they will pass such laws as will suit their purposes. In order to enable them to do this they have added a sec tion to the amendment under consider-; ation, which reads as follows: "Section 5. The Congress shall have j power to enforce, by appropriate leg islation, tlie provisions of this article.'' Again, Section second declares that' whenever the right to vote is denied to 1 any of the male inhabitants of a State, being twenty one years of age and cit- j izens of the United States, the basis, of representation shall be reduced in proportion to the member of such male ; inhabitants excluded from the right ol suffrage. For instance, Pennsylvania has a Negro population sufficient to give her one member of Ooii'-rt—.. 1Im1 not the Negro inhabitants been count ed in the last apportionment, Pennsyl vania would have had but twenty three instead of twenty four members of Con gress. Now, if this amendment be a dopted, Pennsylvania must either give the Negroes the right to vote, or lose one member of Congress. This rule would operate still more severely upon ! the Southern States. They would be i compelled to lose one third, at least, ol their present representation in Con gress, if they declined to confer the | right of suffrage upon their Negroes, i On the other hand, if they choose to : give the Negroes the right to vote, they would gain largely in representation, | <ts but three-Sfths of the late slaves were counted in the last Congressional ap • portionment. Ilence, this section of ; the Amendment compels, on the one hand, and bribes, on the other. Its whole purpose is to induce the States, North and South, to give the Xegroex the right of Suffrage. This, even "he i who runs may read." Such, then, is the plan of "recon j struetion" presented by the Stevens and Sumner Disuniouists of the so-call ed "Republican" party. It is NEGRO ; SUFFRAGE, or it is nothing. The | people must choose between it and the unconditional Union policy of I'resi dent Johnson, advocated and supported : by the Democratic party. —ln Toronto, Canada, it is believed ; that the Fenians have not given up their schemes for invading Canada. It i is now reported that an attack is ex pected from them somewhere on the Western line. Canadian officers and men on leave have all been ordered to return to their regiments at once, and 1 the troops at Stratford, Canada West, had been put in marching and fighting j trim. The Fenian prisoners in Canada ; are to be sent to Ottawa, where the At j torney General will determine upon ! his course in regard to them, and soon j afterwards the mode of trial will be | settled upon and the time and place I indicated. —Large trains of emigrants, mostly i farmers and laborers, are reported to t be arriving in Colorado Territory daily. —A murderer in West Virginia was | banged on Friday, and another will be j similarly treated in Kentucky on the 31st of August. —Last Saturday was observed by the Charlestonians as the anniversary of the battle of Secessionvilie, in honor of the confederate dead. —W.

Resolved, That we believe now, as we have always maintained, that the Union consists of alt the States, and not ut any pari of them, and we recognize no ilag as ours save that oil whose tokls the stripes are illumined by '1 htrty-six Sburi unniutilated by tjio hand of , ddutfiiAn LxLUirton JscaM umnarrWd Uy the heel of Northern Disunion. Resolved , That we deplore the con tinued agitation of the Negro question, so fruitful of evil in the past, and so portentous of troublein the future; and we hold the Disunion party in Con gress, led by Sumner in the Senate and Stevens in the House, responsible for whatever difficulties may result from that agitation hereafter. Resolved , That we are for the whole Union, as our fathers established it, as our soldiers fought for it, and as the patriot Andrew Johnson is now striv ing to restore it, and we hold all men to be enemies of the Union and traitors to the Government, who believe in a dissevered country and a mutilated tiag; a country such as Thaddeus Ste vens and the radical* in Congress would make for us. u-ith eleven Slates stricken, from lhe Union, & ties; with eleven Stars blotted out of the constellation. Resolved , That the uninterrupted and persistent legislation by Gongress, in behalf of the negrr , to the neglect of the interests of the v bite people, and es pecially of the soldi >rs of the country, is an outrage to be tolerated only by the lunatics who vould reverse the laws of Nature ant of God, by mixing the races and makiig white black and black white.

B. F. Meyers and hereby authorize him to appoint hi- own conferees. R,solviti , That W? call upon the pco ple of this Senatorial and Representa tive District, to elect the Democratic nominees fur Senator and Representa tive, it being acknowledged by the "Republican" presses that the "Repub lican" Senator and Representatives sold the people ill the last Legislature on the Railroad question.

In Nebraska, we learn from the Tribune of yesterday, i the Democrats have gained eonsidera ; bly on last year'- vote, though that | journal still claims the success of the ! Radical disunionists"beyond all perad vonturc." The have been joy ously appropriating Oregon, and some of their journals have been quite ecsta tic over the result on the Pacific coast. I Yesterday, however, a brief telegram ! ! came over the wires which greatly dam-: poned their hopes in that distant region, i the news is as follows: The remit of the, Oregon election re mains in doubt. Roth parties claim the tS'iih la/ a m ojor if;/ of abend, sis' hunt!red. While this performance was going : on in Oregon, the "copperheads" were | hard at work a little further north, in a ! Territory called "Washington," and the result of their labors. "<ts far as j heard fruin," is thus pleasantly an j nouneed: The returns of the elect ion in Hashing i ton Territory show barge Democratic gains. The entire Democratic ticket in nine counties is elected, and it is believed to be so in four others. We commend these fellows to "Con gress." They certainly need "recon structing." If tlie news should be con tinued by subsequent intelligence, there is but one thing left for the Rumps to do, and that is to pass some constitu tional amendment which will prevent tlie inhabitants of these benighted re gions forever hereafter from voting the Democratic ticket. — Age. —Hon.

SENATE.— A bill was passed provid ing for the appointment of Paymaster in the United States navy. It was a greed that to-day be set aside tor the. conside. ationof business relating to the District of Columbia. The bill regulat ing the numberand appointment of of ficers in the United States navy was taken up. It will be found elsewhere. It provides for the appointment on the active list of one Admiral, one Vice Admiral, ten Rear Admirals, and a proportionate number of other officers. It fixes the salary of the Admiral at ten thousand dollars a year. After some disco—ion the bill was passed.— The Senate then resumed the consider ation of the joint resolution providing for the proper representation of the U nited States at the Paris Exhibition, to lie held in IH<>7, the question being on the amendment of Mr. Grimes, which provides that no officer shall be ap pointed or money paid out under this resolution, until the Imperial Govern ment shall give proper assurance of the immediate withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. A long and ani mated discusion ensued and a number of speeches were made, some for and others against the amendment. Tliea mendment was finally withdrawn by unanimous consent. Amendments wereolfereil declaring that no member of Congress or person holding any Gov ernment office, shall be appointed as one of the Commissioners, and provid ing for an appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars to erect a building for the proper display of American goods. Pending discussion tlie .Senateadjourn ed. HOUSE. —A bill was reported from the Committee on Military Affairs in creasing the regular army of the Uni ted States to a maximum of fifty thou sand men. It was recommitted to the committee to beagain reported on Tues day next, to be considered by the House. The credentials of Mr. \V.

A bill was passed, after some discussion, es tablishing assay offices in Oregon and Idaho. A joint resolution was agreed to, extending the benefits of tbeact re stricting the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims to the State of West Virgin ia. The House then took up the bill restoring the Southern States to their full political rights. A long discussion ensued. Mr. Harris, of Maryland, made a speech against the bill. He sta ted that he believed in the right of se cession, that by that act the Southern States were outof the Union, and would have to lie admitted by net of Congress. He said he was opposed also to Presi dent Johnson's policy, and said that as theStatc from which the President is sent is out of the Union, he is only President defacto. He warmly eulo gized the bravery and patriotism of Southern men, and said, in conclusion, tlie Southern people would never de grade themselves by freely accepting conditions from whose benefit their chosen leaders were excluded. A long discussion ensued. The House finally adjourned without taking any action on the bill. SENATE.— The Tax bill, with amend ments, was reported from the Commit tee on Finance. The bill regulating tlie occupation of mineral lands and extending the right of pre-emption thereto was then taken up. A number of amendments were proposed anda dopted. Mr. Saulsbury rose to a per sonal explanation in regard to a state ment which appeared in the New York Tribune, from its Y ashington Corre spondent, that he (Mr. S.) was present at the caning of Mr. GriuneU by pen. ■Ruetj&au ad a backer for Gen. Rdasuau; and that he (Mr. S.) had been waiting for the attack. Mr. Saulsburvsaid that the statement was false and denounced the author as a wilful liar. The Com- t mittee of Conference on the bill mil king appropriations forthecompletion, preservation and repair of certain pub lic work already in process of construc tion made a report, which was agreed to. The previous discussion was then continued, but without taking a vote on the bill the Senate went into execu tive session, and at its close adjourned.

A resolution was passed requestingthe President to com municate to the House all information in his possession relating to the impris onment of United States citizens by the Canadian authorities. The House then took up the bill providing for the restoration of the Southern States to their full political rights. Mr. Raymond made a long speech against the bill. After some further discussion the bill was laid aside. Messages were receiv ed from the President .transmitting certain diplomatic correspondence re lating to the transmission of Austrian troops to Mexico, and also transmitting copies of the laws of the Southern States in relation to the Confederate debt. The House then adjourned. J JtOM EUROPE. Virtual Commencement oftlio W ar—Tiu' Cast nope of I'eaee Dispelled. By 4 he arrival at New York of the steamships llansa, Palmyra, and City of Paris we have advices from Europe to the Gth inst. The news is most im portant. The proposed Conference at Paris has been abandoned, owing to the refusal of Austria to bind herself to a bide by the action of the Conference except upon certain conditions. There is now no longer any hut the very faint est possible hope that peace will be maintained. The London Times be lieves that the first blow will be struck in the S'h les wig-Hols tein Duchies.— Austria who, from her geographical po sition, is powerless to prevent Prussia from seizing anil holding the Duchies, will, in all probability, make a counter move into Prussian Silesia. The J tail- It/ News intimates that Prussia is about to issue a warlike manifesto or a direct declaration of war. Prussia charges Austria with violating her pledges, anil Austria, on the other hand, justifies her acts. Military preparations are continued on ail sides. The Italian volunteers number ninety-five thous and men. The typhus fever is said to have broken out among the Italian troops on the frontier. Martial law lets been declared in Venetia. The Aus trian army is now eight hundred thous and strong. The lTussian army con sists of four hundred and fifty-two bat talions of infantry, three hundred and twenty squadrons of cavalry, and over a thousand pieces of artillery. LATER. Bv the arrival, off Farther Point, of the steamship Peruvian, we have one day's later advices from Europe. The lirst step In at .ive hostilities has been taken. On the 7t li the Prussian troops entered the Duchy of Holtein, and the Austrians were concentrating at Altona, where a collision was expected. The Steamship China was telegraphed ofi' Halifax yesterday. The Continental news co; tinued to be warlike. Austria has declared the ports of Pola. Caltaro and the Island of Lissa ports of war. Austria regards the Prussian invasion of Hoi.stein a casus be//i. The Emper or of France has sent the Duke of Gram tuont to Vienna, to make a last effort at conciliation. Austria maintains her position relative to the Conference, and it is said at Berlin to have determined to settle the dispute by the arbitrament of tiie sword.
