thought that there was sufficient old

termagants like Anna Dickinson and
Jane G. Swisshelm furnish the ideas of
the Thad. Stevens faction, and the"Re

emphatically under petticoat govern

Shout. Boys. For We've Got "Em !
W'e hate met the Enemy and they are
ours!
The Supreme Court of this State in
; session at Wiikesbarre, on the 20th inst.,
affirmed the decision of his Honor.
Judge King, of this Judicial District,
in the ease of Iluber vs. Rankin, the
issue being whether a Judge of Elec
tion can refuse to receive the votes of
citizens "marked" as "deserters." It
will be remembred that Judge King
decided that Judges of Election are
1 bound to receive the votes of such per
sons, on the ground that they (the lat
ter) had n°ver been tried and convicted
of desertion before the proper tribunal,
and that no citizen could be deprived
j of life, liberty or property, except by
I due course of law, upon a trial before a
jury of his peers. The Supreme Court,
jin affirming this decision of Judge
! King, have but given us another proof
that an upright judiciary i> the surest
safe-guard of the constitutional rights
of the people. Malignant legislatures
may trample their own constituents
under their feet; partizan governors
may attempt to rob the people (whose
agents they are) of the dearest rights
the law has left to mail; but, the Judi
ciary, sitting far above the reach of the
beggarly influences which move politi
i cians and demagogues, comes to the
rescue and delivers the people from the
grasp of those who would oppress them.
In the name of liberty, let us thank the
pure and fearless judges who dared to
proclaim the rights of the people as
against their would-be oppressors. Th is
is no party victory. It is the triumph
of the great principle which underlies
our whole political fabric. It is the re
assertion of the great doctrine that un-;
der our Republican form of Govern
ment, no citizen can be deprived of his
constitutional right*, without due pro
cess of law and a trial by a jury of his
peers. It matters not which party
gains by it. The principle is what we
contended for and the success of the j
principle, is what we exult over. e
helped to tight the battle for the sake
of the rights of "Republicans" as well
as Democrats. There are, perhaps,
nearly a hundred "Republican" voters
in this county, who would have been
disfranchised, had the demagogues who
lead the so-called "Republican" party,
succeeded in their infernal purpose.
They would have been no better than
negroes, to-day, if the men who control
their party had had their own way.
But the right has triumphed and white
men are still white men, in spite of the
Negro Congress, our malignant Legis
lature and —Gov. Curtin.
A I KU It I'l'OS THE PEOPI.E.
A most important change Is propos
ed to be made in the fundamental law
of the Republic. Congress has submit
ted to the State Legislatures an amend
ment to the Constitution, which, if a
dopted, will change the basis of popu
lar representation in Congress and
will give the blacks the right of suf
frage. These are momentous issues
and ought to be fairly, reasonably and
thoroughly considered by the people.—
Should the amendment referred to be
come a part of the Constitution, the
frame-work of our government will he
materially changed. Yet demagogues
like Gov. Curtin and the Radicals in
Congress are now striving to forestall
the judgment of the people, by hav
ing the old legislatures, elected with
out reference to the questions involved
in the amendment, pass upon this all
important subject. Shall the people l>e
thus defrauded? Shall the Constitu
tion Ih' amended in its most vital part,
our government altered in its great
feature of popular representation, our
Republican system risked in the hands
; of a new class of voters, without con
sulting the people, the source of all
governmental authority in this coun
try? Let Gov. Curtin and his Radi-
I eal gubernatorial co-workers try this
! business if they dare. If they and all
who side with them in such a fraud
upon the people, do not sink to the
lowest depth of political infamy, then
there remains neither self-respect, nor
sense of justice? in the popular under
! standing.
THE last hope of the Disunionists is
gone. They had fondly expected to
carry Pennsylvania by disfranchising
enough voters to give their ticket a
majority. The Supreme Court has
spoiled that little game and Pennsylva
nia will now repudiate them by 20,000
| majority.
IT is estimated that if Gov. Curtin
should call an extra session of the Leg
islature, for the purpose of ratifying
the proposed Negro Suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution, the job will
cofct the Stsato tliL neat little jum of
DISUNION COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Thad-ite faction of the late "Re
publican" party, met in County Con
vention, in this place, on Tuesday last.
The machine was run principally by
our friends Maj. Washabaugh and C.
\Y. Ashcom, Esq. After much wire
working and button-holing, a tick
et was put up to be knocked down
in October. The candidates selected
for the sacrifice are as follows: Pro
thonotary, J. W. Lingenfelter, Bed
ford bor.; Sheriff, N. C. Evans. Cole
rain; Commissioner, Samuel Shafer,
Union; Poor Director, H. H. Fisher,
South Wood berry; Auditor, J. it. O'-
Neal, Monroe. Our friend Maj. Di
bert had thirty-four dele<mtes instruct
ed and pledged for him for Sheriff,
whilst his opponent had but fourteen,
but the wire-workers soon "fixed up"
enough of the thirty-four to give Evans
a majority of four. But such is the
way of the world. "Surely all flesh is
grass." But the grand fight was for
the nomination for Representative.—
The candidates were Col. John H. Fil
ler, ('apt. John S. Stuekey, J. R. Bar
borrow, Esq., and Hon. G. l>. Trout.
As in the case of Mr. Dibert, Col. Fil
ler had a clear majority of the Conven
tion pledged to him, but on the first
ballot received 21 votes—necessary to
a nomination 23. The Convention in
structed for Mr. Householder for
Senator, bv what vote we did not
learn. When we say that there
never was so much disappointment
and bitterness among the "Repub
licans" of this county, as was pro
duced by the conduct and nominations
of this Convention, we only say what
every man in this community knows
to lie true. But be the nominations
bitter or sweet to our opponents, they
are destined to be beaten by an over
whelming majority. The "dead march"
played for the benefit of the Conven
tion, by the "Republican" Brass Band,
was very appropriate to the occasion.
WE learn that there is still consider
able discussion in the ranks of the Dis
union Thads, as to whether Geary
ought not to withdraw. The prospects
of Clymer's election are very bright,
whilst every day brings renewed evi
dences of Geary's unpopularity, hence
the Thads are seriously cogitating up
on the subject of Geary's withdrawal,
and we should not be at all surprised if
the redoubtable General were soon to
receive a written request to get out of
the way for a new candidate. Of
course, we hope IF' will insist upon re
maining on the track. The hero of the
Harper's Ferry spittoon, is the very
man we can whip the easiest, notwith
standing the fact that he made a very
dean run from Snickersville, when he
imagined Stonewall Jackson was after
him. Besides he is a "Democrat with
out a prefix, or an affix," and if he
should happen to be elected, we can
| easily show him a good reason to imi
tate Andy Johnson. Therefore, we
hope the Thads will not think any
more of withdrawing him.
How DO YOU LIKE IT, SOLDIERS ?
You who fought for the restoration of
the Southern States to the Union , how do
you like the programme adopted by
Congress to keep those States out of the
Union? How do you like the expen
diture of millions to keep up the Ne
gro Bureau, whilst you and your fam
ilies must eat your bread by the sweat
of your face? How do you like the
continual, persistent and endless legis
lation by Congress for the blacks,
j whilst not a single enactment is made
for your relief? How do you like the
: doctrine of the Radicals that you
: fought for Negro Suffrage and the E
' quality of the Races, instead of for the
Union and the Constitution? If you
I like all this, vote for Gen. Geary. If
not, cast vour ballot for Hiester Civ
| mer, the candidate of the Union men
of Pennsylvania.
THE Congressional contested election
ca.-e of Fuller vs. Dawson, luvs resulted
in Dawson's retaining his scat. The
i ease of Koontz vs. Coffroth is now un
; der consideration by the committee on

! obtain the seat, hut the Democracy have
i had the vote and influence of Gen. Cof
froth during the last six months, and
evffn should the Abolition majority fi
nally rule him out, they will gain but
i iittle by it, as the important work of
the present Congress, the Reconstruc
j tion business, has been disposed of.
NEBRASKA has gone Domoer&tie.—

Democratic, and there is a Democratic

one elected by the State. The bull is

STILL they RONE! The Selinsgrove
Post informs usthat a large meeting
was held in Bealer,on the ">th inst., by
the friends of President Johnson in the
Republican partf, at which lion. Arch
ibald Robinson (a life long Whig and
"Republican" presided, and Maj.Chas.
H. Shriner, of IJhion county, delivered
a lengthy and alio address. The meet
ing adopted resolutions endorsing Pres
ident Johnson aad complimenting Sen
ator Cowan. Maj. Shriner, who spoke
at the meeting, is the same who made
speeches for Curtin in this county, in <
1868, and who ran as the "Republican" !
candidate for Senator in the Lycoming,
Union and Snyder district in 18(14. As
the "Republicans" in this county ap
peareil to be greatly delighted with
Maj.* Shriner's speeches in 186-1, we
hope they will send for him to stump
the county this fall. Let us have Shri
ller by all means.
GOLD at 81.50! Gold at 81.00! Gold
at si.7o! What is the reason of the
rise in gold? The question is easily
answered. Thud. Stevens' obstructive,
destructive Reconstruction Committee
has reported and the Dissolution of the
Union is to be continued until the Con
stitu ion can he cobbled into the shape
the Disunionists want it. As long as
we have eleven Irelands, eleven liun
garys, eleven Rolands in the South,
governed by the satraps of the Negro
Bureau, we cannot get things into their
normal condition. Just so long as
Thad. Stevens' policy keeps up Disu
nion, just so long will we have an in
flated currency, disordered finances,
oppression of the consumer and the
poorer classes and death to trade and
legitimate business of all kinds. The
people have it in their power to help
themselves, if they wili but do it.
As nearly as we can compute about
eight motions were made yesterday, in
the house, to increase the salaries of as
many officers, and most of them were
agreed to. Will there never be an end
of this? We suggest tliat some mem
ber propose to reduce somebody's sal
ary. He would be sure to create a sen
sation if he did not save anything to
the treasury.—.V. V. Daily Tribune, of
June 10, 18(56.
Even Horace Greeley, the most in
satiable old vulture of all the flock that
have glutted themselves on public
plunder during the last five years, is at
last becoming alarmed at the profligacy
of his associates. An unsophiscated
reader might suppose the above para
graph to have been prompted by an
honest desire for public economy.—
Those who are acquainted with Gree
ley will understand that it was prompt
ed solely by a desire for radical success
at the elections. Horace sees the "hand
writing on the wall,"and is constrained
to warn his fellow plunderers that they
must be more decorous in their plun
derings or there will be "earthquakes
about."
COL. FILLER had, on the last ballot
in the "Republican'' Convention, a
clear majority of all the votes cast, as
follows: two votes from each of the fol
lowing named districts —Bedford bor
ough, Bedford township, Colerain, C.
Valley, Southampton, Londonderry,
Harrison, Schellsburg, Coaldale, Hope
well, Juniata, Liberty; and one from
Broad Top and one from Union ; ma
king, in all, -6 votes, or one more than
necessary toa choice. Thin con be estab
lished on oath. We understand that
the tally was kept by but one of the
Secretaries of the Convention. The
friends of Col. Filler would like that
gentleman to explain bow, under this
state of facts, a majority was figured up
for ("apt. Stuckcy ?
THE decision of the Supreme Court
on the law disfranchising deserters
will make hundreds of thousands of
hearts beat high with hope and confi
dence. Patriotic and law abiding peo
ple of all parties, will rejoice that there
is still one barrier between them and
ruin, which fanatical legislatures can
not sweep away. All hail to an un
corrupted and incorruptible judiciary!
It has always been the strongest bul
wark of liberty, and we trust it will
remain so until the end of time. The
courts, thank God, both State and
Federal, are dealing heavy blows at
the intolerant and unconstitutional
legislation t .at blackened American
history during the last four years.—
May they continue their work until
not a stain remains.
THE Rockingham Register, published
at Harrisonburg, Va., has been greatly
enlarged and improved. It is now
printed on a Potter ('ylinder Press (same
as that upon which the GAZETTE is
printed) and is a perfect specimen of
typograpical neatness. It is edited with
great ability and spirit. Should any of
our readers desire a paper from the
Valley of Virginia, we recommend the
Register.
THE "Republican" party is now di
vided into Thad-ites and Andy-crat^. —
What new division there will be a
moDg them by the time they are Gca
ry-izdd wfe are unable tb foretell.
Do Democrats ever think of the;
value of one vote, and how easily they
may make that one vote if they but
determine to do it? Every grain of I
sand is a part of the shore; every wave
is a portion of the deep; as the momen
tum of one wave carries others with it,
and finally encroaches upon the shore,
sweeping away one grain of sand after
another, so may each one of us by
ceaseless exertion, encroach upon the
ranks of the enemy and build up De
mocracy upon this "bank and shoal of
time."
WHAT small matters are our indi
didual grievances when cast in the
scale against principle. Yet how few
of us are philosophers enough to weigh
the two fairly and abide by the deci
sion of the balances.
WHO shall decide when doctors dis
agree? Thad. Stevens says all rebels
ought to be put "in the penitentiary of
hell." Horace Greely offers to go se
curity for Jeff Davis in order to obtain
his re'ease.
31 u. REPUBLICAN, do you belong to
the Thad-ites of your party? If you
do, vote for the hero of the Harper's
Ferry spittoon, vote for Major Gener
al John Wiggle-waggle Geary.
THE OLD GUARD. —One of the
most original, spicy and interesting
monthlies that we know of, is the
"Old Guard," published by VanEvrie,
Horton and Co., and edited by the
noted C. Chauncev Burr. It contains
the most fearless and trenchant arti
cles on the political lunacy of the day,
and exposes with an unsparing pen
the foibles and fallacies of the present
rulers of the American people. It
should be in the hands of every man
who loves soundness of reasoning,
boldness of speech and patriotism of
the true and catholic sort, not, "cab
in'd, eribb'd, confined," to any sec
tion or political class.
GODEY'B LADY'S BOOK.—We have
before us the July number of Godey,
and are constrained to say that it is an
excellent one in every respect. The
fashion plates are very fine, whilst the
other illustrations, as usual in Godey,
are in excellent taste and the highest
style of art. The present is a good
time to subscribe, as the July number

PETERSON'S M AGAZlNE.—Peterson's

very interesting and well written
story and "The Soldier's Orphans,"

An enthusiastic meeting of honora

President Johnson and Hiester Clymer
took place last evening at the public
house No. 10.South' Broad street,above
Chestnut. General Wilson McCand
lese was elected President, and Lieu

Captain Powers, Private Samuel F.

a Committee on Resolutions, and they
reported the following, which werea
dopted unanimously.
Whereas, A so-called "Soldiers' Con

citizen soldiers of the Keystone State
who have survived the perils of battle
and returned to their homes, on the
present condition of public affairs ; and
Whereas, Said Convention, with
some distinguished and honorable ex

who did not fight to alter our glorious

President Johnson isanxious to secure
for the people the prnot icat results of the
late victories won in the field, by re

of the Joint Committer to tlx- Stale
Executive —The President AOvlxex its
Kejeellea.
In the House of Representativesyes- '
terdav, the Speaker laid before tlie
House the following message of the
President, which was read and referred
to the Committee on Reconstruction:
To the Senate and Honee of Representa
tive*:
I submit to Congress a report of the
Secretary of State, to whom was refer
red the concurrent resolution of the
18th ilist., respecting a submission to
the Legislatures of the States of an ad
ditional article to the Constitution of
the United States.
It will be seen from this report that
: the Secretary of State had, 011 the Ititli
I inst., transmitted to the Governors of
i the several States certified copies of the
I joint resolution, passed on the 13th
I inst., proposing an amendment to the
! Constitution.
Even in ordinary times, any ques
! tion of amending the Constitution
j must bejustly regarded as of paramount
j importance/ The importance is, at the
present time, enhanced by the fact that
the joint resolution was not submitted
by the two Houses for the approval of
the President, and that of the thirty
six States which constitute the Union,
eleven are excluded from representa
tion in either House of Congress, al
though with the single exception of
Texas they have been entirely restor
ed to all their functions as States, in
conformity with the organic law ofthe
land, and have appeared at the Nation
! al Capitol by Senators and Represcnfa
j fives, who have applied for, and have
been refused admission to the vacant
seats.
Nor have the sovereign people of the
nation been afforded an opportunity of
expressing their views upon the im
portant qnestion which the amend
ment involves. Grave doubts, there
fore, may naturally and justly arise as
to whether the action of Congress is in
harmony with the sentiments of the
people, and whether State Legislatures,
elected without reference to such ail
issue, should be called upon by Con
gress to decide respecting the ratifica
tion of the proposed amendment.
Waiving the question as to the <'on
stitutional validity of tic proceedings
of Congress upon the joint resolution
j proposing the amendment, or as to the
! merits ofthe article which it submits
through the Executive Department to
the Legislatures ofthe States, I deem
! it proper to observe that the steps
j taken by the Secretary of State, as de
! tailed in the accompanying report, are
| to be considered as purely ministerial,
j and in no sense, whatever, committing
the Executive to an approval or a re
i commendation of the amendment to
| the State Legislatures or to the people.
On the contrary, a proper appreciation
| of the letter and spirit of the Constitu
! tion, as well as of the interests of 11a
■ tional order, harmony and union, and
i a due deference for an enlightened
l public judgment, may, at this time,
I well suggest a doubt whether any a
j mendment to the Constitution ought
! to be proposed by Congress and press
| edupon the Legislatures of the several
i States for final decision until after the
' admission of such loyal Senators and
Representatives of the now unrepre
sented States as have been or may
hereafter be chosen, in conformity
with the Constitution and laws of the
United States.
ANDREW JOHNSON,
Washington, D. C., June £2, 1866.
< I,VM KlfS PROSI'EI TS.
From all parts of the State, we con
tinue to receive the most cheering ac
counts of the rapid progress our distin
guished candidate for Governor is
making in popular favor. In the strong
Democratic districts, the people are
for him to a man; and in the counties
which have been hitherto carried by
the Republicans, he is making great
headway. The Democrats are united
and cordial in his support, while thou
sands of conservative voters among
the opposi tion, who are heartily sick
of the destructive and revolutionary
measures of the Radical Congress,
openly declare their intention to go for
him, as the best means of administer
ing an effective rebuke to the Stevens
and Sumner cabal of disunionists, —
Every where the name of CLY ME it
stands high in the confidence and af
fection ofthe people, and wherever he
goes, he is greeted with the heartiest
enthusiasm.
On the other hand, his opponent,
GEAKY, is as a dead weight upon the
party that nominated him. His name
awakens little interest, and kindles no
warmth in the popular heart. Even
among the soldiers, for whose votes
his nomination was intended as a bait,
he meets with poor encouragement.—
He has no military giory to attract
them to him, and they have no confi
dence in his administrative abilities as
a civilian. The organization of Sol
diers' Clymer Clubs in almost every
county, shows that "the boys in blue"
prefer an lionest and capable statesman
to a paper General who never won a
battle. With no Provost Marshals to
intimidate voters at home, and no sol
diers in the tieid to be tampered with
by their superior officers, CLYMEII'S
election by the unbiased verdict ofthe
