A IASKAL BEBELUOX.
Hon. Henry J. Raymond, member
: of Congress from New York city, and
editor in chief of theN. Y. Times, has
written a letter announcing the start
ling fact that the Radical Disunionists
tire preparing to inaugurate another
rebellion. to iinpetteh 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
lias been able to obtain an inside view
<f the Radical plot,thisannouncement
is of the most startling and alarming
character. Mr. Raymond declares that
it i.- the purpose of the Radical rebel
to get up a war of neighborhoods, such
another as the English people fought
out under the distinctions of the White
and Red Roses, if they should sue
ceedln elating 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, rally to the support
of the Executive; let every man and
every woman who desire to avert the
calamity of another civil war, take the
field against the Radicals and help to
put them down at the ballot-box. Shall
the history of the past four years be re
peated? Nay, shall neighborhood be
arrayed against neighborhood, family
against family, son against father, in
bloody and deadly conflict ? Oh ! 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 REAUIM; MASS COYVKXTIOX.
The Democratic Mass Convention
i held at Reading on the lsth inst., was
the largest and most imposing popular
| assemblage in the history of the past
; ten years of Pennsylvania politics.
! From twenty *o thirty thousand peo
ple were present. Eight stands were
erected to speak from, and yet the vast
audience could not be fully reached by
the speakers. Among the distinguish
; ed gentlemen who addressed the uoo
were llua. v ,
&
Democratic candidate for Governor,
HON. GEORGE H. PENDLETON, of O
hio. and HON. MONTGOMERY HLAIK,
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.

Brothers in a holy cause!
F reetnen, patriots—sou?? of illustrious
blood!
Side by side, hand in hand—arm to

upon tiie fanaticai element of our coun
try, the history it has made.
Shoulder to shoulder—
Hearts firm, strong and true
Wo never will be conquered
By a IJuioti haiiug crew !
Wou'd to God that some men with |
the eloquence of inspiration might now j
step forth to rivet home upon the Ah- 5
olitionists of the land the nails they
dove through our national wainscoai
ing and paint the tragic history of lie- j
groism as we have seen it tliruugli
years of bloody suiferiug, ami dark I
nours for the Republic.
Who are traitors?
Who are the original disunionists?
Who are now making war upon the
Government ?
Who are insuiting a fallen foe?
Who are they who triile with the 1
destinies of God—giveu America, and j
seek to eloy their fiendish hate on the ;
mangled corpse of an attempted C on
federacy ?
Wilt) are the ones who stand "ttp in
the rump Congress and insult the sol
diers who fought the rebellion back o
its iair, by saying the I'nion is not re
stored, and that imbecile gutter-snipe
legislation can do what the powers ol
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 yien by the President in sup-
It >rt oftlie right.
Let us stand true to the sacred prin
ciples of Democracy, and charge home
upon this fanatical element, which i
at war with the Union, that the only
traitors now existing are the fanatical
members of the Rump Congress audi
place hunters who endorse their infa
mous acts. Charge home upon the el- j
ement which is opposing the country J
that they sou eh t first and last to di
vide the Union, and but for the De-
I r run-racy 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 oflic-e.
They perjured themselves before Hod
and man.
They meddled with that which con-
BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3. 1866,
I cerned them not.
i 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
properly, and squandered the money
we furnished them.
They mob' ed people for opinion's j
sake.
They murdered people in cold blood
here in 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
drunki-n glee danced <m the coffin lid of
I their country until the corpse has been
awakened to a new life, and a life that
| will deal in vengeance most terrible if
the murderous dance be not stopped at
i once.
They have draped the land in .mourn
ing, populated deep graveyards, made
prostitute-, piled billions of taxes upon
the workingmen, and now flaunt the
shame oft!n*ir cowardly insolence in
the face of a people that fought while
our rulers rioted in drunkenness; that
died 011 the battle field while our rulers
werestuftingballot boxes in the North!
Let these crimes, and others;we have
not room to mention, be charged home
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
thrust negroes, political Generals, ar
my contracts and dishonest legislation!
Let these tilings be charged home to
those who rode into power shouting—
Free Speech !
Free /Vw/
Free Kansas !
A Free People !
RKTUKNCHMKNT AMD REFORM !
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 off to-day than
it ever was before.
Our debts are a thousand times great
er than ever before.
Our ability to pay is less than ever
before. vvicKea

I low do you' like the working of Ab

Answer, and tell us, ye once happy j
and prosperous workingmen, to whom |
we are now talking through the pen.
Tell us, farmers, mechanics, sons of i
the forest, men of toil, and brother vic
timsof this "great" God and morality
party, which did so much good 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 j
their proscription, walked unbanned j
through attempts at assassination, held j
aloft the banner of Democracy, and j
I gathered javelins to hurl in the faeeof j
i our common enemies til! the last tv- 1
| rant or apologist for tyranny and wrong j
■ shall be driven from power.
I God hates cowardice!
We have the right on our side—we j
i have law, justice, equal rights and the i
1 record of honest acts.
What more incentives do we need?
If these are not sufficient-, look ahead
j to the millions who will bless us for
; wresting the sword from the hands of j
j those .who murder innocents.
Open wide the gates of the
—open the doors of Democracy.
Hang out your glorious old banner of:
Democracy.
Appeal to the people.
Defy our enemies.
Stand like men of nerve in defense of'
i our liberty, and charge upon those who 1
I will not forsake the errors of their way, j
'the truths of the history they have!
I written in blood and pinned up with
j bayonets!
This is no time for abject crawling
to cross the foot of usurped power.
The future is to be bright, united and
happv, or dark, bloody and terrible, as
we choose.

HENRY WARD REI CH! It U. IIVST
THE RADH'AE HiSI VIOMMS.
Every body has heard of Henry
Ward Beecher the distinguished 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 the
Presidency in 1800. Whatever.may be
said of Beecher's fanaticism, we be
j iieve no one ever charged him with
j dishonesty. He was an Abolitionist
| from principle, and took theboid posi
j tmn that slavery must be abolished or
the Union dissolved. No man in our
country had more influence over Mr.
Lincoln than had Beechcr. Indeed,
his opinions were all-powt rfu! 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 party." They owned
it, as they owned the President repre
senting its principles. They had one
object in view—the abolition of sla
very.—That object they accomplished,
after a monstrous sacrifice <>f life and
treasure. These two representative
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 contested
field, and what did they see? Nearly
tiie 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
head—the Forneys, Iveilys, 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 t he Rump t'ongressand its trait
or defenders, and with voice and pen
denounce the conspirators in language
not to he 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 lias become a friend of
peace, ready to meet the enemies ol
restoration who urge a warfare agains
the people of the South, lie denoun
ces Stevens as a dangerous man, up
holding the worst conceivabiedoctrims-.
In his opinion we should adopt the
prineiplesof the New Testament, rath
er than the Jewish rule that required
an eye for an eye and a tooth fora tooth.

HOW BKARVS 'HIMTAKY Itiil'i'TA
TIOX WAS MA 1H:.
The following 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 in amostdelightfuistute
of preservation. I see by the papers,
and hear by many of my friends who
came down yesterday, that you "haul
threat times" in "old Philly" on the
Fourth. 1 don't envy you! 1 dislike
all that sort of thing, and witnessed
enough "pomp and show" during the
war to last me the balance of my days.
I was amused though, in reading the
graphic accounts of how thetliing went
off. 1 should have been glad to have
been present for one thingand that was
to have noted how Master Geary be
haved. [ suppose though he kept his
vanity down a> much as possible—that
it did not stick out more than a foot. J j
have met Geary upon several occasions.
I met him at the "Race Course," he'uw
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 him just, what he is. Who,
during the war. sung Ids praises in a 1
of the Phiiapclphia papers, including
the Sunday Mercury, and who spent
days and nights in writing up evry Ut
ile one horse or X Roads skirmish and
for what? To glorify the vanity of this
man Geary. Eiliott has gone to his long
home, and I never see Geary's name in
print but what I think the honors belong
jfA'l A\ (,< t
Elliott's devotion. < )no Saturday cve
ning- there came a rumor to Y\ asliing
tou that Geary had fought a great bat
tle and won a great victory. This was
the Saturday preceding Me(';el!au"sfirst
march on to Manassas. AN asliingtou
was full of newspaper indefatigables,
who desired to telegraph what few i
tems they had gathered concerning it
to their respectivejournals North. Your
correspondent was at that timeeonnect
ed with a New York paper, and along
with others went to the telegraph shop,
scratched oil our "startling,' 1 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."
San ford, of course, was wished some
where else,and a number ofcorrcspond
ents still carry him a grudge that will
be paid >ome day with interest.
On Sunday morning—a bright and
beautiful morning it was—myears were
assailed with the cry of " Philadelphia
Stuulcy Mercury! Sunday Dispatch!.
Full accounts of the great fight!" 1
invested of course,and then found that
Tom Elliott had commenced the work
that was to make a great man out of
Geary.
"How did they get this news in Phil- |
adelpliia?" asks one corn-pom lent.
"How did they get u ?" replies)
George Bower, whom you saw interred ,
a few weeks ago—"why Tom Elliott i
telegraphed it to the Associated Press,
of course." And so did.
I last saw Geary in the flesh at I
Gettysburg, one year ago last Wednes
dav. There was a number of distin
guished peopie there. <iuPe a num
ber. Meade wa-'there, and made a
speech. Howard was there, and so
was Doubleday and Fyk< s.
Geary rode a splendid black charger.
His uniform was the brightest, and liis
; gauntlets just the thing for show. His
beard was newiy blackened and oiled,
I and he was, a- 1 have hinted "galius"
' looking.
Anil Geary, he was Master of ceremo
nies. lii' was splendidly gotten up for
the occasion, and lie e-rtaioly looked
very line, but .-till resounded anything
but a Major General. Governor Cur
tin introduced nie, ami Geary, hearing
that 1 was eonneeted with so loyal a
journal as the Mercury, remarked that
he had ju.-t parted in Washfngton with
I Tom Florence, Jo Severn* and other
good fellows. Still I did not, could not
like the man, and so tuid our amiable
; Governor.
My distaste to Geary arose partly
from a prejudice created in my mind
towards.him by Weill Forney, Esq.,
: the brains of the Harrisburg /'efff/rup/i.
; Geary, it appears, some time previous,
had been wounded and was taking
things "easy" down the Cumberland
Valley. But Forney related now air
i-h every thing was about his eastle.
and informed me that he had a guard
marching front of his house, and was,
as might be supposed, the "laughing
sock" of the good people of the Valley.
Think of that for a Major General, rest
ing home wounded, having a guard
posted in front of \\U boudoir. Stylish,
rather, you say. Very much so for
J plain people to swallow easily.

speedily closed, but they were doomi d

at the bar, and for two hours a flow of
eloquence poured fortii upon tiie ears
of the jury, evidently convincing them

gestures denoted that ail they waiitul

piled it on thick; he showed tliem law
