Raymond, member of Congress from New York city, and editor in chief of thcX. Time*, has written a letter announcing the start ling fact that the Radical Disunionists are preparing to inaugurate another rebellion. They mean to impeach the President, and if possible, by force of arms, Usurp the government of the country. Coming from a leading "Re publican," as is Mr. Raymond, who has been able to obtain an inside view of the Radical p'ot.thisannouncoment is of the most startling and alarming character. 31 r. Raymond declares that it is the purpose of the Radical rebels to get up a war of neighborhoods, such another as the English people fought out under the distinctionsof the White and Red Roses. If they should suc ceed in electing a majority of the next Congress, this step will certainly be ta ken by them as they are determined to get rid of the President. Let the people, therefore, raily to the support of the Executive; let every man and every woman who desire to avert the calamity of another civil war, take lite field against the Radicals and help to put them down at the ballot-box. Shall the history of thepast four years he re peated'.' Nay, shall neighborhood be arrayed against neighborhood, family against family, son against father, in bloody and deadiyconfiict ? <)h ! men of Pennsylvania, will you not throw yourselves between this Radical Con spiracy and the friends of law and or der, and swear that there shall be peace in the land, even unto its utmost bor ders! THE REAIIIAH 51 ASS CONVENTION. The Democratic Mass Convention held at Reading on the 18th in-t., was the largest and most imposing popular assemblage in the history of the past ten years of Pennsylvania polities. From twenty *o thirty thousand peo ple were present. Eight stands were erected to speak from, and yet the vast audieuee could not be fully reached by the speakers. Among the distinguish ed gentlemen who addressed the peo ple, were HON. HI ESTER CLVMER, Democratic candidate for Governor; HON. GEORGEH. PENDLETON, of O hio, and HON. MONTGOMERY BLAIR, late Postmaster General under Mr. Lincoln. The best feeling prevailed and every body present came away sat isfied that the Democracy will sweep the State at the coming election. ( lIAKtiE! DEMOCRATS. CII VUOE !; Brothers in a holy cause! Freemen, patriots—sons of illustrious blood ! Side by side, hand in hand —arm to arm, "with a bold front, let us charge upon the fanatical element of our coun try, the history it has made. Shoulder to shoulder— Hearts film, .ttrong find true ' We never will be conquered By a I'uion hatiug crew ! Would to God that some men with the eloquence of inspiration might now step forth to rivet home upon the Ab olitionists of the laud the nails they drove through our national _\vain scout ing and paint the tragic history of ne groism as we have seen it through years of bloody suffering, and dark hours for the Republic. Who are traitors'/ Who are the original disunionists? Who are now making war upon the Government Z Wiio are insulting a fallen foe? Who are they who tribe with the <lp-tinies of God—given America, and seek to cloy their fiendish hate on the mangled corpse of an attempted t 'on federacy V Who are the ones who stand tip in the rump Congress and insult the sol diers who fought the rebellion back o its lair, by saying the Union is not re stored, and that imbecile gutter-snipe legislation can do what the powers of American soldiers failed to accomplish? Let these questions be asked those who wallow with the rump Congress in its treasonable infamy rather than stand like men by the President in . up- port of tiio right. Let us stand true to the sacred prin ciples of Democracy, and charge home upon this fanatical element, winch is at war with the Union, that the only traitors now existing are the fanatical members of the Rump Congress and place hunters who endorse their infa mous acts.

They meddled with that which con- BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, ADGUST 3, 1866. eerned them not. They trampled the laws under foot. They elected tyrants and cowards to office. They turned a war of patriotism into a crusade of plunder. They put innocent men into prison and guilty men in office. They sacrificed thousands of brave men on the altar of diabolism and mil itary incompetency. They took men and money from the people under false pretences. They killed our men, destroyed our property, and squandered the money we furnished them. They mobi ed people for opinion's sake. They murdered people in cold blood here hi the North for speaking their honest belief. They have stolen of the poor. They have protected the rich. They have lied to the nation, and in drunken glee danced on the coffin lid of their country until the corpse has been awakened to a new life, and a life that will deal in vengeance mo- terrible if j the murderous dance he not stopped at | once. They have draped the land hi mourn ing, pnjruhticd deep grave yards, made prostitutes, piled billions of taxes upon the workingmen, and now Haunt the | shame of their cowardly insolence in j the face of a people that fought while: our rulers rioted in drunkenness; that j died on the battle field while our rulers | werestuffingballot boxes in the North! j Let these crimes, and others,wehave i not room to mention, he charged home j upon the element now at war upon the President, and upon the honest indus try of the country North and South.

How do you like the working of Ab olitionism ? Answer, and tell us, re once happy and prosperous workingmen, to whom we are now talking through the pen. Tell us. farmers, mechanics, sons of the forest, men of toil, and brother vie- 1 tims of this "great" God and morality j party, which did so much ejooel in theo- \ ry, so much evil in practice! Charge these truths home. We have charged them home for the last four years. We have defied their mobs, sneered at their proscription, walked unharmed through attempts at assassination, held aloft the banner of Democracy, and gathered javelins to hurl in the face of our common enemies till the last ty rant orapologist for tyranny and wrong shall he driven from power.

Every body has heard of Henry J Ward Bcecherthedistinguished Brook lyn preacher and politician. He has been a life-long Abolitionist, and we believe it was at his suggestion that Mr. Lincoln was nominated for tl>e Presidency in l.'-GO. Whatever may be said of Beecher's fanaticism, we be lieve no one ever charged him with dishonesty. He was an Abolitionist from principle, and took the bold jxisi tion that slavery must be liltoiished V the Union dissolved. No man in our country had more influence over Mr. Lincoln than had Beecher. Indeed, his .opinions were all-powt rful with the President, much to the chagrin of the smaller lights who hovered about the White House. Mr. Beecher, with the assistance of Mr. Seward, organized and christened the "Republican jiarty." They owned it, as they owned the President repre senting its principles. Tliey had one object in view—the abolition of sla very.—That object they accomplished, after a monstrous sacrifice of life and treasure. These two rcpreseiHativt men of the Republican party—the fathers of the party —we may call them—after having "fought the good fight" for what they considered a prin ciple, took a survey of the conteste d field, and what did they see? Nearly the whole of their party followers in open rebellion against the country and the President! Yes, the great Aboli tion party, with new captains at its bead—the Forneys, Kellys, Camerons and other late converts—was in open revolt against the Union! Beecher and Seward were amazed, confounded and grieved. But, they did not hesi tate a moment. They resolved at once to expose and fight the rascals who dar ed raise their impious hands against tin union of the States. Both are at work against the RumpCongressunditstrait or defenders, and with voice and pen denounce the conspirators in language not to be misunderstood. Below we give a few extracts from a recent sermon delivered by Mr. Beech er. It will be seen that ironi a perse cuting Saul lie has become a friend ol peace, ready to meet the enemies ol restoration who urge a warfare agains the people of the South. He denoun ces Stevens as a dangerous man, up holding the worst coneeivabledoetri nes. In his opinion we should adopt the principles of the New Testament, rath er than the Jewish rule that required an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We trust that many other ministers who, during our domestic troubles, ad vocated the old Jewish mode of treat ment, will repent and seek to win tin affections of the people by acts of christ ian love and forbearance. The brutal doctrines of Stevens are not in keeping with the teachings of Christ and Ili aposths, and should lie discarded by all who profess to lie governed ny the gol den rules laid down in the Gospel. Mr. Beecher said: "I do not know asit is best for me to make any furthernpplication. I ama ware that 1 have not been very popu lar among my people during the last year. My position in public affairs has not carried my friends with me. lam sorry for their sake. I have never had any trouble myself on the subject. 1 do not hesitate to say that whatever went into the Constitution on account of slavery ought, now tiiat slavery i.- dostroyed, to be taken out; and that whatever should have gone into the Constitution, hut was kept out hy sla very, ought to go in: but while I hold that these changes ought to ho made in the fundamental law of this land, so that our Constitution shonld rt present to its fullest extent the great doctrine ol natural and civic rights—while 1 hold this second to no man in breadth and intensity, and probably held it before most, of you held it—yet, on the other ' hand, Cod jorbidthat ishould attempt to take a position that would be in the nature of rendering evil for evil, and punishing according to the manner of the Jews. I abhor, with <iH the strength of Christian ton , (he doctrine.—Became the)t have burned others' /amies, barn theirs; ba aust the)/ hare plundered oth < rs,plunder them ; because the)) did wrong confiscate their property; because they were in rebellion, annihilate. them. The doctrine w/iif h has been propounded by J Mr. Stevens in Congress, I regard to be the doctrine of Belial. The worst doc-1 trine of which I can conceive, dwelling in ! a Christian bind, is the doctrine adcoca- | ted by him, and, I thank Cod, by only , a few others. The trueChristiuneourse j (which we have now lost the opportu- ; nity of adopting) was to have kept un- j ion between the President and Congress : and instantly to have made such prop- j ositioiis of change ; s c mid hive effeet ! Ed without delay, making the period as ; : brief us possib'e, restoring to their o | riginal status all parts of our Unjon, 1 and, by the amplitude of our helpful : ness, and the unmistakable disclosures ; of our sympathy, paying back into ! their bosom a thousand fold of love that i which they had given to us of trouble and mischief. The North should have been a thousand fold more eminently j Christian than the South. The people I here should have felt and prayed for the people there and should have long ! Ed for their well-being; while, though I know that hundreds and thousands have done this, theapathy of the com ! munity lias been that of a stern cold judge and they have favored paying ioia for iota, measure for measure. This lis my mourning and regret. And i VOL 61.—WHOLE No. 5.358. say, not only in respect to Great Brit ain and but also in respect to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and the other States that rebelled, that, while 1 would have been aswilling and anxious to defend the rights of the < - maneipated, and to *hange the Consti tution so as to secure those rights as a ny other man, I would have done it*in connection with a policy that would have requited jtbod for evil abundant ly. I feel that it was a mistake that sue!) a course was not pursued, and I believe that we shall not have a nation al life unchecked and harmonious and generous until we learn to exercise our civil functions its well as our individu al functionsaccording to the injunction. "Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and piay forthem that despjteful ly use you." There,go and vote that; you have prated it long enough, try it. HOW UEAIIY'S MILITARY RKPIT.V TION WAS MAPI'.. The following 1 amusing description of the "no-prefix*' candidate for Gov ernor, we clip from the correspondence of the Sunday Mercury, written from Cape may: Dear Mercury— I'm anchored for the season and am inamostdelightfulstute of preservation. I see by the papers, and hear by many of my friends who came down yesterday, that you "had great times" in "old Phiily" on the Fourth. I don't envy you! I dislike all that sort of thing, and witnessed j enough "pomp and show" during the t war to last me the balance of my days. \ I was amused though, in reading the ; graphic accounts of how thething went off. I should have been glad to have i been present for one thingand that was • to have noted how Master Geary be- i haved. I suppose though he kept his vanity down as much as possible—that , it did not stick out more than a foot, i , have met Geary upon several occasions. < I met him at the "Race Course," below * Philadelphia, a day or two after Andy . Curtin commissioned him Colonel. 1 met Tom Elliott the same evening —waiting for him at the St. Lawrence ; Hotel, who introduced his pomposity. The same Tom Elliott, by the way, ' who made hinijust what he is. \\ ho, ; during the war, sung his praises in a 1 of the Philapelphia papers, including the Sunday Mercury , and who spent days and nights in writing up evry lit tle one horse or X Roads skirmish and for what? T® glorify the vanity of this man Geary. Elliott has gone to his long home, and 1 never see Geary's namein printbut whatlthinkthehonorsbelong to the former. Let me give you a reminiscence of Elliott's devotion. One Saturday eve ning there came a rumor to Washing ton that Geary had fought a great bat tle and won a great victory. This was the Saturday preceding McCiellan'slir.-t march on to Manassa a Washington was full of newspaper indefatigabies. who desired to telegraph what few i tems they had gathered concerning it to their respect ivejournals North. Your correspondent was at that tiiueeonnect ed with a New York paper, and along with others went to the telegraph shop, scratched oil'our "startling," and were politely.told by the clerks in attendance that the news "could not go." "Why?" of course was the next in terrogatory. "Mr. San ford, censor, forbids it." Sanford, of course, was wished some where else, ami a number of correspond ents still carry him a grudge that will be paid some day with interest. On Sunday morning—a bright and beautiful morning it was—my oars were assailed with the cry of "Philadelphia Sand'// Mercury! Sunday Ditspatehl I Full accounts of the great tight !" 1 ; i invested of course, and then found that ! Tom Elliott had commenced the work that was to make a great man <vet of Geary. "How did they get this news in Phil adelphia?" asks one correspondent. "How d'rd they get it ?" replies George Bower, whom yon -aw interred" a few weeks ago—"why Tom Eiliott telegraphed it to the Associated Press, of course." And so Tom did. I last saw Geary in the flesh at Gettysburg, one year ago lad W -dues day. There was a number of distin guished people there. Q.ii ; e a num ber. Meade was there, and made a speech. Howard was there, and so was Doubleday andSykes. Geary rode a splendid black charger. His uniform was the brightest, aud iiis gauntlets just the thing for show. His | beard was newly blackened and oiied, i and lie was, as 1 have hinted "gallus" I looking. And Geary, he was Ma- ter of eeremo i nies. He was splendidly gotten up for j the occasion, and he certainly looked ■ | very tine, but still rcsemoled anything ■ j but a Major General. Governor Cur tin introduced me, and 1 tearv, hearing j that i was connected with so loyal a ; I journal as the Mercury , remarked that • he had just parted in Washington with Tom Florence, Jo Severn* and other ! j good fellows. Still I did not, could not " j like the man, and so told our amiable i Governor. My distaste to Geary arose partly : from a prejudice created in toy mind towards him by Weill Forney, Esq., the brains of the liarrislam,' Telegraph. i Geary, it appears, some time previous, had been wounded and was taking things "easy" down the Cumberland Valley. Hut Forney related how air ish every tiling was about his castle, and informed me that he had a guard marching front of his house, and was, as might be supposed, the "laughing stock" of the good people of the Valley. Think of tiiat for a Major General, resi ding home wounded, having a guard posted in front of his boudoir. Stylish, rather, you say. Very much so for j plain people to swallow easily.
