This veto is sustained by Seward, Welles, Me- Culloch and Stanton, yet Congress, as suming superior wisdom, passed the bill over the veto and the people are now called upon to decide whether President Johnson and his cabinet, or Thad. Stevens and company,are in the right; nay, the so-called "Republican" party is now required to say whether it will endorse the judgment of its old and trusted leaders, Seward, Welles and their confreres, or whether it w.ll fol low the ignis fatuus of the Lancaster lunatic who imagines black white and white black. Therefore, let people as certain what this Negro Bureau is for, whether it accomplishes as much good as the evil it produces, and whether, in short, Hie government should longer l>e i burdened with a subject which proper ly belongs to the consideration of the States concerned, in their individual capacity. Generals Steedman and Ful lerton, by direction of the President, have fully investigated the operations of the Bureau, and report them a com plete failure, except in one respect, to wit, the enriching of the Agents by stealing from the government and for cing negroes to work their saw-mills and plantations for little or nothing. Congress, in defiance of the President and his cabinet, has forced this mon strous Bureau upon the country for three years longer. It will not cost less than twenty millions of dollars per an num, to keep it going, making an ad dition to our debt (in three years) of sixty million* of d*Mars! The only sal vation for the people is to elect a Con gress which will repeal this law and a- bolish the grand government Negro Poor House system. It is now one oi the main planks in the "Republican" platform to maintain this Negro Poor House plan throughout the South. Those who are in favor of doing so will vote for GEARY and the candidates on the Radical Disunion ticket. Those who are opposed to it will vote for (T.v- MER and the candidates on the conser vative ticket. All w ask, is, that peo ple will examine this matter for them selves, and having done so, will not permit their partisan feelings to inter vene between their judgment and the right. THOSE hundred dollars in gold to be paid to the chairman of the Disunion Suite Committee, if we cannot show that CLYMER voted, in the Senate, for the Amendment to give the soldiers the right to vote in the army—what "Re publican" wantsthe" hiners?"

The endorsers of Congress in the "Republican" party, as against the policy of President Johnson, held their conference to nominate candidates for Representatives in the Legislature, in this place, on Friday and Saturday last. The candidates before the con ference were Mes.-rs. Weller, ofSomer set, Stuckey, of Bedford, and Richards of Fulton. After protracted balloting, Messrs. Weller and Richards were nominated. Somerset voted for Rich ards, in order to "kill" Duffield for Senator, so that the chances for Stutz- man, Somerset's candidate for Senator, might be improved. This was a nice little game on the part of our Somerset friends and was beautifully played.— What cared they for a one-legged sol dier when he stood between them and the point they were trying to make?— Not a whit! The "machine" was run right over him, crutches and all, with the whole weight of Richards' burly body on the vehicle. Meanwhile, the Senatorial conference was in session, balloting and adjourning, by turns, a waiting the action of the Representa tive Conference, the candidates voted for being Messrs. Stutzman, of Somer set, Householder, of Bedford, and Duf fleld of Fulton. Finally the trump card in Stutzman's hand was played; Stuckev was "thrown" and Duffield laid on the shelf by the nomination of Richards and Wei'er for Representa tives. This happened on Saturday.— The Householder men then began to make demonstrations upon the confer ence by threatening that Bedford County would give "800 or !)00 Copper head majority," if Somerset got the candidate. It was also reported that Stutzman would vote for Cowan, if elected, but Stutzman characterized this as an invention of the "cooper heads." At noon, on Saturday, Berg ner, of the Harrisburg Tekattle in the way of balloting, the Conference adjourned until Mon day at one o'clock, p. in. Ad interim the Householder men were struggling, against great odds, to make an impres sion upon the Fulton conferees. They proved, however, that they were "sold to the Dutch," and when the confer ence re-assembled, Stutzman was nom inated "in a jifi'y," Fulton going for him solid. Thus, after a three days' -truggle, Bedford County came out minus , all representation on the legis lative ticket being denied her. We shall see whether the Democratic con ferences cannot do better for "the old mother." If not, her daughters had better select her County tickets for her, likewise, and make a clean job of it from Congressman to Auditor. THE GERMAN WAR. No great battle has been fought m Germany since that near Skaiiez, call ed Sadowa, in which the Prussians gained an overwhelming advantage over the Austrians. Prague had been abandoned by the latter, the Austrian army of the North being in full re treat, closely pursued by the Prussians. The Austrian army of the North still numbered about two hundred thou sand men. Field Marshal Benedek had been relieved from the command and was succeeded by Prince Albreclil. The Italians had again been defeated by the Austrian army of the South, but Cialdini, the Italian general, was again advancing with an army of one hundred thousand men, forcing the Austrians to abandon the line of tiie Adige. Italy refuses to acknowledge Yenetia as French territory,hut Prince Napoleon was to take possession of it in the name of the French empire, and a French iron-clad fleet had sailed fur Venice to aid the Prince in this busi ness. The armistice proposed to Prus sia and Ilaiy by Napoleon, is likely to prove a failure, and the emperor of France has, it is said, determined on "armed mediation." It is now thought that a general European war is immi nent. OREGON. The Democracy of Oregon have giv en their Disunion opponents so close a race that they haven't breath enough left to teli us how the State really has gone. About a month has elapsed since the election, and it is not yet cer tainly known which party has carried the S ate. At last accounts, however, the Democracy were slightly ahead. The Oregon Jltyortur savs that "Kelly, the Democratic candidate for Gover nor, is probably elected, in spite of the frauds practised in many counties, and that if all the illegal votes are thrown out, thoentire Democratic ticket is e lcctod.*' >0 MORE O THAT, HU! The "Soldiers' Friends!" Ha! ha! The "Soldiers' Friends" have been playing the old Diabolus with the cal culations of the "boys in blue." The "Soldiers' Friends" have stolen a march upon, out-flanked and completely sur rounded the soldiers. It only remains to be seen whether they will succeed in capturing them, or whether they (thesoldier.-.) will "cut their way out." By the way there i> a siugular peeu- I liarity in the selectnere with which these "Soldiers' Friends" choose the object upon which to lavish their friendship. They are very shy of sol diers who suffered imprisonment in rebel jails and they have a positive a version to men who have lost a leg in the service of their country. For in stance, they defrauded Col. Filler out of the nomination for Representative, in their county convention —positive- ly counted him out after a majority of the delegates had voted for him. In order to defeat Col. Filler, they had to use the name of Capt. Stuckey, and having succeeded in their purpose, j they found Capt. Stuckey upon their hands, whose sacrifice was also neces sary to secure their own seliish ends. — J So they proceeded to immolate him in the most summary manner, giving his place on the ticket to a burly, "thick, fat, round, oily man of"—Fulton conn- j ty—a glorious old home-guard who never in his life handled a weapon j more formidable than the corn-stalk i of an old-time militia training! "Soldiers' Friends!" No more o' that Hal, an' thou lovest me! Ha! ha! j ha !, "Soldiers' Friends !" It is enough | to kill one with laughter to hear a ! "Republican" talk about "Soldiers' Friends!" Stutzuian, Welter, Rich-: ards! What a noble set of veteran.- ! Lo! the crutches upon which they limp, the honorable scars upon their! bodies, the record of their imprison ment in Southern dungeons, their j deeds of valor under Sheridan, their j charge over the ramparts of Fort Wag ner! Do YOU sav you can't see them? ! Oh! well, they are reflected from the military career of Col. Filler and Capt. j Stuckey, which makes it all the same, i Still it i* funny, very funny, isn't it? j UHAT !>!! THE SOI.OIERS Kllilll' FOIt ? What did the soldiers of the Union army fight for? A Republican news paper asks that question. We will try to answer it in a few plain words. Says the Lancaster fnte.ltk/eneer, when the flag, the symbol of the U nion as formed by our fathers under the Constitution, was fired upon at Sumter, thousands of brave men rt: -h --to arms. .For what? Was it to free the negroes? Let the Radical l>isu nioniststell the returned veterans that, if they dare. When President Lincoln issued his proclamation freeing the slaves, what was the ground on which be professed to stand? Was not the act justified because it was believed soldiers fought for the restoration of the Union under the Constitution. That was t.:e one great, grand, holy object which they kept singly in view. They did not fight to conquer equal rights for the negro, and in the coming electh nsthey will show their scorn of that political party which would delay the restora tion of the Union until the odious con ditions of negro suffrage and negro e quaiity are forced upon an unwilling people. The soldiers read and think for themselves now, and they cannot fail to see that the party which nomi nated Geary is unequivocally commit ted to all the hifamous schemes of the Radicals in Congress. Whatever the soldiers may think of Geary's military record they cannot-endorse his political position. They cannot and will not vote with any party which makes the Union for which they fought subordi nate to negro equality. The soldiers fought for tin 1 Union, not for the negro; and they will vote as they shot. A. W. RANDALL, First A-distant Postmaster General, has been appoint ed Postmaster General, rice W. 1) uni son resigned. Mr. Randall Is the Pres ident of the National Johnson Club of Washington city, and was formerly < iovernor of Wisconsin. The President has also appointed Henry J. .Tanber ry, of Ohio, Attorney Genera., instead of James Speed resigned. Thus two conservatives are added to the Cabinet, whilst two Radicals have been driven from its councils. The good work has at last commenced; may it go on until the President's advisers area unit in fa vor of the Constitution and Restora tion. HOKN TOOKK gives some singular derivation of words, but a friend who heard Judge Kimmell address a jury, not long since, derives the Judge's name ns follows: Give-ern-hell. whence Gimuiell, whence Kimmell! FA HEW ELL, G EA BV ! A not her Sn iek - ersvilie awaits you! Run! run! or you'll be captured! HOW THEY LOVE THE SOLDIER. The "boys in blue!" the "boys in blue!" Oh! how sweetly sung the syrens of the Disunion Abolition par ty, as they gently drew the returned soldier into their loving embrace. It was Col. This, and Maj. That and C'apt. T'other, and nice little ovations were given to these gallant officers, and the "Republican" politicians hob-nobbed with them over their wine, speaking fiercely, and glaring savagely as they spoke of "copperheads" and "buttev nats" and "Knightsof the Golden Cir cle," and with finger on side of nose they whispered to the returned heroes, "Go with its and we will fake tare of you. You shad have the offices." And the soldiers doffed their uniforms and don ned their citizen's garb and went cam paigning for the "Republican" party. They fought the battles of "Republic anism" and returned to their homes a mid the plaudits of the gentlemen whom they helped to elect to of fice. But finally "pay-day" came. Of course the "boys i n blue" expected to find their names on the roll, and that they would be called out in due time to take their places in official station. But what was their astonishment when they found that the names of but few of them were upon the roll, and that for theirs were substituted the names of the very politicians who had made them such large promises. They dis covered then, that they had been sold by the very same men who got the greater portion of their bounty when they entered theservice. And it came to pass, that, the "boys in blue" waxed wroth and said, "Ys'cll, the Democrats, whom we have opposed, never made us any lying promises, anyhow, and we sec now that one political party doesn't care more for the soldier than another. We'll voteas we please here- HOW THE TISE IS Ut S.VI\. Since the so-called "Republican" j party have assumed a position of open hostility to the restoration of the U | nion, thepopulartide has set in against ! them, and now the waves of public o pinion roll mountain-high against the i course of the piratical craft in which they are embarked. The late elections i in Connecticut, Oregon and Nebraska show howoverwhelming are the break ers that are bursting over and threaten ; to make ship-wreck of the Radical crew. In Connecticut the Democratic I gain averaged about i2O votes to every : thousand votes polled. A higher av i erage than this was shown in the gains in Oregon and Nebraska. There can I be no doubt that Pennsylvania will show ; thesarne average Democratic gain at thecominggubernatorial election. Now ! taking the Connecticut average of 12b to every thousand votes polled, and cal culating that Pennsylvania will poll at i least 500,000, the aggregate gain over j last year would he (50,000, leaving the State Democratic by 40,000 majority. ! This is a reasonable estimate, made from data that are indisputable. Hence, we predict the election of HON. IIIESTERCLYMER, as 1 he next Gov ! emor of Pennsylvania, by an over- I whelming vote,and call upon all good Democrats and Conservatives to fall in to line and march forward to vic- I tory.

Secretary of the Navy lias ; addressed the following letter to Sena-: tor Doolittle: WASHINGTON, D. C., I July 11, j SIR: Your note of the 10th inst. was ; received yesterday. 1 cordially ap- j prove the movement which has been instituted to "sustain the Administra tion in maintaining unbroken the Un-; ion of the States," and I recognize in the call which you have sent me the j principles and views by which the Ad ministration has been governed. The attempt made to destroy the na tional integrity by secession, or the voluntary withdrawal of a State from j theFnion, has been defeated. War has j forever extinguished the heresy of se- j cession. On the suppression of the re- j hellion measures were promptly com menced to re-establish those fraternal j relations which for four years had been I interrupted. The policy initiated by President Lincoln to restore national unity was adopted and carried forward by Presi dent Johnson; the States which had been in rebellion were, under this be nign policy, resuming their legitimate ; f Mictions; the people had laid down j their arms, and those who had been in ; insurrection were returning to their al-! iegianee; the Constitution had been j vindicated and the Union wassupposed j to be restored, when a check was put j upon the progress to national harmony ; ami prosperity thus dawning upon the j country. On the assembling of Con gress ail efforts toward Union and na- { tionality became suddenly paralyzed ; the measuies of reconciliation which the President had, from the time he | ntered upon bis duties, pursued with I eminent success, were assailed, and j their beneficent purpose, to a great ex tent, defeated ; attempts were made to i imposeconditions precedent upon States before permitting them to exercised heir constitutional rights; loyal Senators; and Representatives from the States; which had been in rebellion were refu- . sed admittance into Congress—the pen- j pie were denied rightful constitutional ; representat ion—and eleven States were 1 and are excluded from all participation in the Government. These proceedings ; which conflict with the fundamental j principles on which our whole govern- j mental system isiounded, are genera ting and consolidating sectional ani- j mosity, and if long persisted in, must; evemuate in permanent alienation. 1 j rejoice, therefore, in a movement which j has for its object the union in one bond of love of the people of our common! country, and which invites to council | and to political action the citizens of every State and Territory, from the At- j luntie tot-he Pacific, and from tiie Lakes to the Gulf. The centralizing theory I that the loyal andqualiiiedSenatorsand Jtepresentatives from eleven States shall be excluded from Congress, and that those States and the people of those States shall not participate in the Gov ernment, is scarcely less repugnant than that of secession Itself. Propositions to change the Constitu tion and unsettle some <*f the founda tion principles of our organic law—to j change our judicial system in such a manner as to destroy the independence j of theStatesby insidiously transferring ! to the Federal tribunals all questions relating to the "life, liberty and prop erty of the citizen"—to change the ba-, sis of repre-< ntation, which was one of j the difficult and delicate compromises ! of the convention of 1757, when no States were excluded from representa- ; tion— to change the existing and wise-; ly adjusted distribution of powers he- j t'weeii the different departments of the ; Government by transferring the par-' doning power ineertain cases from the j Executive, where it properly belongs, j to Congress or the legislative branch of j the Government, to which it does not i legitimately pertain—to incorporate in to our Constitution, which is to stand through all time, a proscription of citi zens who have erred, and who are lia ble to penalties under existing enact ments, by disqualifications, partaking of the nature of CJC post /ado laws and hillsof attainder —these propositions or ] changes, aggregated as one, and called i an amendment to the Constitution, j designed to operate on the people and j States which are denied all representa- i tion or voice iu tin* Congress which o-I riginates them, are of a radical, if not •revolutionary, character. These and other proceedings, and the political crisis which they have tended to produce, justify and demand a con vocation of the people by delegates front till the States and from the whole country. The President has labored with de voted assiduity awl fidelity to promote union, harmony, prosperity and happi ness among the States and people, hut lias met with resistance, misrepresenta tion and calumny where he had a right to exnect co-operation and friendly sup port. That thegreat body of ourcoun t ryinen a re earnest ly and cordially with him in his efforts to promote the na tional welfare 1 have never doubted, notwithstanding the hostility of ma levolent partisans, stimulated by per verted party organizations; tynl 1 re joice that a convention which shall rep resent all true Union men of our whole country has been called to sustain him.

MY DF.AU SIE: 1 have received the call signed by yourself and others for a National Union Convention in Philadel phia on the 14th of August. I concur in its propositions, its reasonings, and its objects, and will do all in my power to carry them out. I long si nee expres sed the opinion that the Southern States were entitled to. their representation in Congress;that their exclusion was a vi olation of good faith and of the obliga tions of the Constitution, and tiiat a persistence in such a policy must lead to consequences most disastrous to the peace and prosperity of the country.

Secretary Seward is reported to have written the following letter expressing ; his views with regard to the Philadel phia Convention : 1 )K!'AHTM KXT OF STATE, I WASHINGTON, July 11, IS6G. ) "SIR: Excuse me for expressing surprise that you ask me whether 1 ap prove of the call of a proposed Union National Convention at Philadelphia. : Alter more than live years of disloca tion hv civil war, I regard a restoration of the unity of the country its most ini- S mediate as well as its most vital inter- i i est. That restoration will be complete j when loyal men are admitted as rep re-; sentatives of the loyal people fit the j ! eleven States so long* unrepresented in Congress. Nothing but this can com plete it. Nothing more remains to be j done, and nothing more is necessary. I Every day's delay is attended i>y rnul-j tiplying and increasing inconvenien ! ces, embarrassments and dangers, at: | home and abroad. Congress possesses j the power exclusively. Congress*, after j J a session of seven months, stil' refuses; to exercise that power. What can bei done to induce Congress to act? This j |is the question of the day. Whatever! is done must be done in accordance ! with the Constitution and laws. It is; ! in perfect accordance with the Consti- j | tution and laws that the jieople of the ! United States shall assemble by dele- j I gates m convention, and that when so I j assembled they shall address Congress i !by respectful petition and remon-i strance, and that the people in their i several States, districts and territories . shall approve, sanction and unite in 1 such respectful representations to Con- i I gress. "No one party could d<> tins eflec-1 tually, or even seems willing to do it, j alone. No local or popular organiza- ; tion could do it effectually. It is the; ! interest of all parties alike, of all the J ! States, and of ail sections—a national j ; interest—the interest of the whole peo- j pie. The Convention, indeed, may j i not succeed in inducing Congress to j I act, but if they fail, the attempt can I make matters no worse, it \> ill be a i lawful and patriotic attempt made in I the right direction —an effort to be rc ! membered with pride and satisfaction i whether it succeed or fail. The origi- I na! Union of the States was brought a j bout by movements of the same cliar '! acter. The citizen who ojeets to the convention is bound to propose a better j ' plan of proceeding to effect the desired j j end. No other one is offered, or even! thought of. Those who should oppose ; it would seem to me to manifest at best | unconcern, if not opposition, to all re construction, reorganization or recon ciliation between the alienated masses of the American people. Ttfltidmit that i the Convention will fail would be to admit that the people of tlie United ! States are deficient in either wisdom or ! ; the virtue necessary to continue the • j existence of the republic. I believe no j ; such thing. A gieat political writer says that government is a secular re j ligion, and that the people of every country are divided into two classes, each maintaining a distinct political j faith. The one class always fearing ; the very worst that can possibly hap i pen, and the other hopes, under every circumstance, the very best that can in any event happen. Without accept j ing this theory as absulutely true, 1 think that all men do generally act from a motive to guard against public i danger, or else from a positive desire jto do good. Both classes may, there lore, favor the present attempt to re store the unity of the nation, iam ; ! sir, vour obedient servant, WM. H. SEWARI). I "The Hon. J. R.

Cotfrotli's resolution would have been to give every negro in the coun try a pension, the Radicals would haw voted solid for it, but because the old ir/iifi veterans of IM2, ask this small favor for their support in their declin ing years, they are to be deprived of it because they are so unfortunate as to tie "w;/?<7c." Knowing the motives o) these political intrigues, and that their candidate for Coventor, John W .

The same par ty which denounced the war at that time, withhold their support from the few remaining patriots of to-day. Although your numbers are few, you have an influence which can be wield ed to great effect in advancing the principles of the party which has ever defended the interests of the soldier and the poor. In the coming campaign let your feeble voices he heard in giving coun sel and advice to the supporters of the great Democratic party, and by elect ing men of talent and honesty to ail positions ofresposibility,aud by chang ing the political aspect of our Congress, vein will he rewarded for your services.
