A KABICAL KEBELUM.
Hon. Henry J. 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. Charge home upon the el
ement which is opposing the country
that they sought first and last to di
vide the Union, and but for the De
mocracy of the North would have suc
ceeded:
These men sought to—
Break up the Union.
To make the South and North hate
each other.
They warred upon the Constitution.
They ignored laws.
They broke their oaths of office.
They perjured themselves before God
and man.
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.
Democrats have not broken laws, ig
nored oaths of office, and made a sieve
of the Constitution, through which to i
thrust negroes, political Generals, ar-!
my contracts and dishonest legislation!
Let these things lie charged home to
those who rode into power shouting—
Free Speech
Free J'ress !
Free Kansas !
A Free People I
RETKEXCHM EXT AMD It KFORM !
How about Free Speech ?
And a Free Press?
And a Free People?
And how do you like the arithmetic
al illustrations of the Black Republican
retrenchment and reform ?
The country is worse offto-day than
it ever was before.
()ur debts are a thousand times great
er than ever before.
• Our ability to pay is less than ever
before.
There is more mourning and wicked
ness now in the land than ever before.
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.
God hates cowardice!
We have the right on our side—we
have law, justice, equal rights and the
record of honest acts.
What more incentives do we need ?
If these are not sufficient, look ahead
to the millions who will bless u- for
wresting the sword from the hands of
.those who murder innocents.
Open wide the gates of the Republic
—open the doors of Democracy.
Hangout your glorious old banner of
I )cmocracy.
Appeal to the people.
Defy our enemies.
Stand like men of nerve in defense of
our liberty, and charge upon those who
will not forsake the errors of their way,
the truths of the history they have
written in blood and pinned up with
i bavonots!
This is no time for abject crawling
to cross the foot of usurped power.
The future is to bebright, united and
happy, or dark, bloody and terrible, as
we choose.
If Democracy, in the great struggle j
now upon us, is successful, the country %
is saved. — /.eeco.w i H w.) I)enif>cr<(f.

! HENRY WARD REICH 111 AGAINST
THE RADICAL ITLSLMO.VLMS.
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

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

that our Constitution shonld rt present

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.
