The reception of the flag- ot the
Pennsylvania regiments was celebrated
with great eclat, in Philadelphia, on
the 4th inst. This was .all right and
proper, but, of course, the demagogues
of the Disunion party had to mar the
beauty of the occasion by the intro
duction of political pariizanshi p. It
seems that Gen. Hancock was selected
by the Committee of Arrangements to
assign the command of the parade to
such officers as he might choose. Gen.
Hancock made his selection of officers,
but omitted in his list the popinjay
Geary, which gave great offence to the
Disunion Committee. Gen. Hancock
was at once overruled and Geary was
given the post of honor. Gen. Han
cock insisted, however, that as Geary
was a candidate for public office, his
opponent, Hon. Hiester Civmer, who
was the author of the resolution pass
ed by the Legislature under which the
flags were presented to the regiments
and by which the very reception wa
auihorized. should be invited to Re
present during the ceremonies. But
the Committee feared that Clyiner's
presence would not leave Geary.any
advantage, and, therefore, refused to
permit his invitation. How contempt
ible such an act must appear in the
eyes of all men who have any respect
for gentlemanly (leeenev, or who know
in the slightest degree what constitutes
an honorable motive. Let the soldiers
remember how the popinjay Geary j
W.LS foisteil upon them at Philadelphia,
against the wish of the hero Hancock,
and how Clymer, the author of ihe
Flag resolutions, was prevented from
participating in the celebration,
through the petty partisan jealousy
andspiteof the Negro-party politicians.
TltK Disunion Geary County Com
mittee arejust now engaged in hurling
bushels of documents at the heads of
the people, expecting, doubtless, to
frighten them out of their propriety
by this ink and paper bombardment.
Look out for white-washing pamph
lets by the ton, for the Stevens-Gea
ry party know full well that they
need a good deal of bleaching to make
t lem look comely in the sight of tie
p ople. Use the lime plentifully, boys!

"KEI'l KI.K .ANN."
An informal convention of the John
; son Republicans of this Sjate, was held
I at Sansom street Hall, Philadelphia, 011
the third inst. Robert L. Martin, of
Delaware county, acted as temporary
chairman. IIQN. HENRY W. TRA
! CY,of Bradford, was elected permanent
chairman, supported, by a long array of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries.—
! Among the delegates present we notice
the-names ot Ex-Gov. Johnson, N. P.
Sawyer, Colonel S. MeKelvy, and Hon.
James Lowry, of Allegheny; Hon.

Central Committe was appointed, with
Col. J. It. Flanigen, of Philadelphia, as
Chairman. Hon. W. F. Johnson, Col.
J. It. Flanigen, Hon. 11. W. Tracy and
Senator Edgar Cowan were elected
delegates to the National Convention
which is to assemble in Philadelphia,
on the 14th of August. A resolution
was also adopted fixing the 14th of
August as the time, and Philadelphia
as the place, for holding a Convention
tion to determine what course to pur
sue in regard to a candidate for Gov
ernor.
A nick little dodge, gentlemen, we
catch you at, but it would lie more
creditable to you, though not so ser
viceable, if you would have a little
higher regard for the truth! The re
cord of Mr. Civmer which you are cir
culating, 3lc--rs. Dis'unionists, is a pre
varication from beginning to end. —
Your object is to prejudice tlie soldiers
and their friends against Clynier, by
misrepresenting, his course whilst in
the Senate. 3lr. Civmer, in no in
• tance, voted against the interests of
the soldier. He voted for the amend
ment to permit soldiers to rote in the ar
my. We will bind ourself to pay to
the chairman of the Disunion State
Committee, one hundred dollars in gold,
if we cannot show Mr. Clymer's name
recorded in favor of that amendment.
The record which you produce i that
of 18(54, when the Democrats refuses I to
vote for the nnnslde ration of any m ea
rn n introduced in the Senate, baau<
the Speaker of the last Senate had usurp
ed the chair, and those mho voted to pro
ceed with legislation, rcetynized h is usur
pation as a righteous act , which the
Democrats would not and could not
do. Hut after the election of a new
speaker, the very same measures which
the Democrats refused to consider so
long as the chair was occupied byau
surper, were voted for by Mr. Clymer
and his associates. Let if be understood,
now and henceforth, that the record of
Mr. Clymer, published by the Disunion
Slab Committee, and now being scattered
over the country, is u m< re garbling of
the proceedings of the Senate, and fails,
in any instance, to inform the reader
that it was only during the rs i n CA
TION* or THE CHAIR by the Speaker of
the former Senate, that Mr. Clymer re
fused to vote for the consideration
(mark you, not on the merits, but sini
\)\y for the consul-ration > of any matter
introduced in theSenntc; and that after
tbetognrpation was at an end, he (Mr.
Clymer) did vote for the interests of
the soldiers throughout, and even call
ed some of the '"Republican" Senators
to account for not doing the same.—
Gentlemen, we want to and will have
fair dealing in this matter. You are
trying to play an unfair game and you
trust to popular prejudices to bear you
oJ t in the trick. But we appeal from
you r false and garbled statements to
the record itself. We say that we will
pay *>ne hundred dollars in gtj/d, to any
man who asks us, if we cannot show by
the record, that Hie-ter Clymer voted
for the amendment to give the soldiers
the right to vote in the army and that
he also voted to increase the pay of sol
diers in the service. Here is a stand
ing offer, that will not be withdrawn
during the campaign. What "Repub
lican" would'nt make a hundred dol
lars in gold, if he could, especially at
the expense of the BEDFORD G A/.KTTK!
Conic, now, don't be bashful, gentle
men !
WE ask attention to the call for a
Johnson-Clymer Soldiers Convention,
published in another column. The
names of the most gallant officers in the
service, are appended to the cail. There
is no doubt that the elite of the Penn
sylvania soldiers will repudiate the
popinjay Geary. Soldiers, read over
the list of signers tothHcall and satisfy
yourselves as to whether they are not
worthy of your following. For in
stance, what say the 2(JSth to the n .me
! of Gen. A. B. AfcCAiimont ?,
THE skies are brightening! The
blackness of darkness that obscured the
political horizon, is fading into light;
the rumbling of Thad. Stevens' patent
thunder is dying away, and the light
ning-hugs of Sumner's eloquence no
longer flash their coruscations over
Radical ignorance. The Abolition
clouds that lately lowered so threat
eningly overhead, are breaking into
gentle and refreshing showers of John
sonian Unionism and the grand old
tree of Democracy, re-invigorated l>y a
grateful political atmosphere, is taking
a new growth, and will soon again
shelter the people under it- protecting
branches. The opponents of Democra
cy are distracted and divided. The
followers of Stevens pull one way, the
adherents of Johnson another. Now,
in "the winter of their discontent," it
is "glorious summer" with the Democ
racy. Let us not fail to take the ad
vantage of circumstances. Let us not
be idle and indifferent, when nothing is
wanting but exertion, to insure our
triumph. Oh! Democrats, will you
not work for victory, now that it is
within your grasp?
Next week we will publish the opin
ion of Judge Strong of the Supreme
Court, in the famous '"Conscript" case,
in which it is decided that Judges of
Election arc bound to take the votes of
"dose rters," if such "deserters" have
not been regularly tried, convicted and
sentenced by a court martial. Judge
Strong and the majority of the Su
preme Court, take the ground that elec
tion boards cannot try the question of de
sertion. This is exactly the ground
upon which we insisted, last fall, that,
the votes of non-reporting conscripts
must he taken. But the Abolitionists
made a great out-cry against the right,
of "deserters" to vote, and succeeded
in getting their election hoards to re
ject the votes of all whom they chose
to charge with "desertion," whilst by
their clamor and threats they frighten
ed the timid .-o that they did not ven
ture mar the polls. Now, let it iu:
understood that the LAW protects
these men; and above all, let it he

Tyn Disuniouistsarc now circulating
a document that undertakes to prove
that the Southern people are not yet
"tit for restofation." It is only neces
sary, in order to refute the -lone- pub
lished in tills puuiphlet, to refer the
reader to Gen. Grant's report to the
President, in which the Lieutenant
General says aiat he before* the tScndh

to resume th ir duties us citizens. Let
this/cw< be industriously circulated by
every Democrat, that GLX. IT. S.

"fit forrestoration." Gen. Grant made
a tour through the South, at the re
quest of the President, and therefore
ought to know what he is talkingu
bout.
Tit !•; Constitutional Amendment
makes rather slow progress among the
saints of the radical church. < tov. ('ur
tin'scircuiar doesn't seent to have the
desired effect. Gov. Cox, of Ohio, and
Gov. Morton, of Indiana, have permit
ted it to leak out that they are not in a
hurry about convening the Legisla
tures of their States for action upon the
Amendment, whilst Gov. Swann, of
.Maryland, contumacious fellow, refus
es flatly to convoke the Legislature of
that State, ho being opposed to the A
mendment unci to the Radical policy
generally.
SENATOR .JAMES H. LANK, of Kan
sas, attempted to commit suicide,a few
days ago, by shooting himself through
the mouth. Upon the receipt of this
news, a writer in the A". Tribune,
byway of obituary, stated that Lane
had "died of Andy Johnson." As there
is some prospect of Lane's recovery,
the perpetrator of that ribald jest may
someday have for an epitaph, "died of
Jim Lane."
THERE is now scarcely a doubt that
another "Republican" candidate for
Governor will be put in the field in this
State. The Johnson "ftopublicans"
vow that they will not support Geary.
Many of them will vote for Clynier,
but others prefer to support a candidate
of their own peculiar stripe. This ren
ders Clymer's election morally certain.
GKAUY is the candidate of the Ne
gro Suffrage mcmbersof < 'ongress. Jie
is the pet and tool of Thad. Stevens.
I£e who votes for Geary, votes for Ne
gro Suffrage. No "Republican" can
now say that he does not vote with his
eyes open oil this question. Geary and
Negro Suffrage are inseparable,
CKACK ! Don't you hear it breaking?
The back-bone of the Disunion Aboli
tion party. Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle,
Ex. Gov. Johnson and other leading
"Republicans" are hard on the radical
spine.
COFFBOTH OUSTED.
Tlie Comnittee on Elections in Con
gress, Imv made a report giving the
seat now ield by Gen. Co (Froth, to his
opponents the election, Gen. Koontz.
It was aliays admitted by the Com
mittee tht Gen. Cofl'roth had a major
ity of thoegal votes cast in thedistrict,
but the <jurse of the General during
the preset session did not suit the pur
poses of he Radical Disunionists and
they detenined to get rid of him. All
right, geijleinen. The people will be a
your case, hext October.
Gen. CoflVtii will probably hold his
seat till \Mi)iu a few days of the ad
journment, The following is from the
Washingtu correspondence of the Age:
"The Cofmittee of Elections agreed
this inornitr to report in favor of oust
ing Mr. {(Froth, and giving his seat
to the co i lis taut (Koontz). I under
stand thatl is admitted that Mr Cotf
rotii had ajnajority of tiie legal votes
cast in theßistriet, but the committee
decided agiast him on a tchriicat ob
jection. 'icy hold that the proof was
insufficient" show that certain illegal
soldiers' itcs for Mr. Koontz were
counted li the return judges, when in
fact thertjvas ample proof of fraud in
that partijlar.
In reputing against Mr. Cotfroth,
the conn lit'e simply follow the prece
dent established in the cases ofVoor
hces and SNooxs, and in addition to
that, tluy v>r* influenced, no doubt
by a delfgnt.on if Radical leaders who
have b<4n litre vithin the last ten (Jays
demanding the expulsion of Col Froth
for pot it hi' i items. Their argument
was, thai if M. '. was permitted to re
tain his s -at, h- would carry the Dis
trict next fall,lid therefore in orderto
secure the elec,(in of the 'Radical can
didate, he ('.must be ousted. Tin;
House will prqably adopt the report
of the < 'omiuitl', hut the people of the
Sixteenth Di.-tt-t will surely rebuke it
at the ballot bo in October next."

"UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE, UNIVER
SAL AMXKSTY," is the platform ofthe
X. Y. Tr'huue. That is, every late rebel
in the South shall be restored to all his
ante-rebellion rights, provided every
negro in the United States is permitted
to vote. In view of this proposition,
isn't it a little inconsistent on the part of
the 'Tribune and its Radical co-adjutors,
to insist that the South is not "tit for
restoration." If it is "tit," with all the
darkies voting, it is certainly tit with
only the white people as voters.

—Letters from Vera Cruz state, ou
what is said to be trustworthy author
ity, that General Bazuine has concluded
n agreement with the Emperor Maxi
miliian, by which the latter is to re
cieve from the French Treasury half a
million of dollars a month for ids most
urgent expeuses, besides having his
Austrian Belgian troops paid by the
French Gefvurmnent.
Special despatches, with attractive
headings, announced in the Democrat
ic journals with pride and rejoicing,
that deserters cannot be disfranchised,
and the same journals appeal to the
"boys in blue" to vote the Democratic
ticket. Can soldiers espouse the cause ;
of deserters and vote for the active |
friends of deserters ? — Franklin Re pari- j
tory.
Now, what's the use to lie, Colonel!
We rejoice because no man can be pun
ished asa "deserter" without trial.—
We rejoice because the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania has escaped the stigma
you and your co-workers strove to lix
! upon her by striking down thousands
of her best citizens simpiv because they
I were charged with {not convicted of,
' mark you) the offence of "desertion."
The "hoys in blue" art; the champions
of liberty. They have no heart in such
j
j oppression as Cot. McClurc would have
visited upon thousands of his fellow
citizens. Besides, had persons charged
i with (not convicted of ) "desertion," I
i
been, disfranchised, the "boys in blue" |
i would have suffered, for many an lion- I
, orably discharged soldier is not now
; in possession of his "discharge," and
; the want of that at the election would I
; haveenabled any knave to deprive hiin
! of his right to vote by simply cliarg-j
| ing him with "desertion." There- j
fore, the "hoys in blue" will vote the j
Democratic ticket "and espouse the !
| cause," not of "deserters," but of those I
who saved thousands of honorably dis- j
charged soldiers from being disfran- i
chisedby McClure A- Co.
The Franklin Repository , edited by
Col. McClure and that other old gran
ny, Mrs. Swisshelm, takes us to task
for defending the rights of citizens
whom the Radical Disunionists tried
to disfranchise because thev weree harq-
I
ed with being "deserter.-.' Did the
j editors of the Repository never learn;
j that "a man is always presumed inno
cent until proved guilty ?" If their
: ignorance hath this extent, it were use- j
' less to discus- the matter with them.
We never defended any man who was |
convicted of "Desertion," we have on- 1
ly insisted that those who were charg- j
ed with that offence, should not he pun- I
ished without trial. We have defend- j
ed a large class of citizens against the ,
charge that they are "deserters;" we j
insist upon it that no man is a "deser- ;
ter" until lie ha- been convicted as such
before the proper tribunal. We have j
defended citizens, not "deserters." But
what has Col. McClure been doing?—!
He has tried his best to brand thou-j
sands of as good men as himself, with
the foul word "deserter." He has lent ■
iiiuiseu loaseneme 10aoriuge me no- j
ertie- of the people, anu tins wniist |
professing to favor universal citizen- j
ship. Out upon such miserable kna- j
very! Who so blind that he cannot j
discern the glaring hypocrisy of a man
| who bellows for universal suffrage and
yet would disfranchise thousands of j
i citizens of hi- own State.
WILL the Bedford Inquirer please
copy the article in the Franklin lie- j
posUory on the "Status of Deserters?" j
It is not right that the readers of the ;
Inquirer should, from sheer ignorance, '
be permitted to follow the example of |
the ostriches of that paper who, when j
hard-pressed, stick their heads in the ;
sand and fondly imagine that because I
they cannot see anybody or thifig, |
neither can others see them. There
fore, let the article, written by Col.
McClute, who argued the "Deserter"
question before the Supreme Court, be
laid before the readers of the Inquirer,
so they may learn that he (McClure)
says that under the decision of the Su
preme Court, those persons called "De
serters," are on a perfect political and
civil equality with other citizens. Ln
plainer words, let the Inquirer tell its
readers that the Attorney for it- side
ofthe "Deser er" question, gires up (he
ruse. Will ir dare to have the fairness
to do i t?
TREASON ! TREASON !—The New
York Tribune has been converted to
the "sympathizers with treason" in
the person of Jefferson Davis. This is
really alarming. Doubtless, before
long, the whole ".Republican" party
will be clamoring for the release of
"Mr. Davis." Loyal men, look out for
breakers ! The following is the article
from the Tribune:
We welcome the news from Fortress
Monroe of the assignment of spaeious
and comfortable apartments for the
house-keeping of Mr. and Mrs. .Jeffer
son Davis. By-and-by, the farce will
have become too glaring, and then he
will be let go. What is the use of per
sisting in a ehoat whereby nobody is
cheated? Mr. Davis is not to be tried
—at all events, not with intent or ex
pectation of convicting him—then why
is he longer subsisted at the public
cost? Let us have an end of the sham.

The Soldiers Convention which met
in Pittsburg on the sth of June last, I
and which pledged their c<intrudes in
tliis State to the support of the radical
measures of Congress, in opposition to
the just and constitutional policy of
President Johnson, and which promts-j
ed their votes to John W. Geary, the
radicitl candidate for Governor, mis
represented the sentiments of the great I
mass of the officers and soldiers of I
Pennsylvania. In order that a true
! expression of opinion might be had j
from the late defenders of the govern
ment in the field, and to counteract the j
injury f attempted to be done to the j
cause of the Union, it was deemed ad
vis ble by the late officers and soldiers]
of the Federal army in this State toj
hold another Convention.
A preliminary meeting of returned
officers and soldiers, with this object in
vieAv, was holden on Thursday, the
28th of June, when it AVUS resolved to
hold
A Staff Convention at SlarriKliiirg. on
AVi'ilni'sila.v. the lirvt <lay of Au
gust proximo,
at 10o'clock, A. M., to be composed of
such honorably discharged officers,
soldiers and seamen of Pennsylvania,
as subscribe to the following doctrine,
viz:—
1. Who are in fa\ T or of carrying out,
in good faith, the joint resolution of
Congress, adopted July 22d, 1861, which
declared that, "This war is not prose
cuted on our part in any spirit of op
pression, nor for any purpose of con
quest or subjugation, but to defend and
maintain the supremacy of the Consti
tution and to preserve the Union, with
all the dignity, equality, and right- of
the several States unimpaired." These
Avere the conditions of tiie bond the
soldiers signed and sealed in blood with
the government, and a refusal HOAV to
carry them out is a gross violation of a
solemn agreement:
2. Who are in favor of restoring the
States lately in rebellion to all their
constitutional relations Avith the Feder
al Union as they stood before the Avar
broke out, according to the humane
anil constitutional policy laid down
by President Johnson;
•k Who are in favor of representatives
from tli South, loyal to the Constitu
tion and the hiAAs, being immediately
received by Congress;
4. Wiio t a; prove President Johnson's
vetoes of the Freedmau's Bureau and
Civil Rights Bill:
•". Who are opposed to any interfer
ence, by Congress, Avith the rights of
tiie States reserved by the
and who are opposed to the right of
suffrage being conferred upon the negro:
(j. And AVhoare in favor of the elec
