The State Convention of honorab 'y
discharged Soldiers and Sailors which'
met at llarrisburg on the first inst., >
was the largest body of the kind ever
assembled in Pennsylvania. It far ex
ceeded the Pittsburg Radical concern,
both in point of numbers and in the
soldierly character of its members.
There wore upwards of three thousand
soldierspf€Knt, about one thousand of
whom were delegates, the remainder 1
attending for the purpose of helping
forward the cause of "I nbroken I n
ion." These representatives of the pa
triots of the late war, came from every
county in the State. The oid leaders
of the glorious Pennsylvania Reserves
were there, the officers who led brig
ades arc I regimentsinthedeadly charge;
the men who bore the banners of the
Union against the embattled ho>ds of
Leeand Jackson; the Cap ainsand Lieu
tenants who left a leg or an arm upon
Southern soil, a sacred pledge of their
devotion to the Union, the rank and
file, who marched to the cannon's
mouth in defence of a Government
which is now sought to be perverted in
to a central despotism, by Thaddeus
Stevens and hisco-workers in Congress.
These brave men, the flower of the
Pennsylvania soldiery, declare that the
Pittsburg Convention misrepresented
the political viewsof tire soldiers of the
State, that they regard General Geary
as committed to the Disunion doctrines
of the Radicals,and that they will -up
port Hon. Hioster Clynier, because he
represents theprinciplesfor which they
fought, the Union of the States and the
liberty of the people.
THE Indiana Rerjbtfer, the old organ
of the "Republican" party in Indiana
county, declares that it cannot support
the nominations made by it> party for
members of the Legislature. This is
only another indication of the fact that
the "Republican" party are falling to
pieces. Dissension is rife in their ranks,
and defeat niu-t inevitably be the fate
of their organization. Let Democrats
organize and work. The enemy is di
vided. Now is our opportunity.
bo you want another war? Ray
mond, the distinguished editor of the
New York Tivuv, and "Republican"
member of Congress from New York
says, that it is the design of the Radi
cals, if they succeed in the coming e
lections, to impeach the President,
with a view to inaugurat another civil
war. Who wants another bloody con
flict between American citizens? If
any such there bo, let them vote the
Radical ticket, beaded by John W.
Geary.
Tuii President is rapidly making re
movals of all office-holders who act
with the Radical Disunion party. There
will be a clean sweep of ail such, with
out regard to persons.
THE SF.GBO RIOT IN NEW ORLEANS.
The effect of the revolutionary meas
ures of the Radical party, is now, as it
always has been,and ever will be, law
lessness, riot and bloodshed. Mem
phis, Norfolk, and New Orleans are the
I latest witne-ses to the truth of this as
sertion. These cities have, within the
last year, b< en the scenes of bloody
mobs, all resulting from attacks by ne
groes upon whites. The Freedmen's
Bureau and Civil Rights Bill have given
the negro the idea of superiority to the
whites, and he loses no opportunity of
showing that this idea lias a firm pos
session of his mind. Hence his insults
to and attacks upon the whites. In
New Orleans, the other day, a Radical
Convention assembled for the purpose
of usurping the State Government, in
the interest of Negro Suffrage. A pro
cession of blacks was marching along
the street, in honor of ,the Convention,
j when a white man was tripped and
i thrown down by a negro. A poliee
j man attempted to arrest the negro, and
was fired upon from the procession.
I Tliis immediately led to a tremendous
riot. The Convention was dispersed
by the populace; about forty persons,
whites and blacks, losing their lives in
thecouflict. The police finally succeed
ed in restoring order and the city was
placed under martial law. Gen. Phil.
Sheridar!,coinmandingat New Orleans,
has telegraphed Gen. U. S. Grant as
follows concerning this riot:
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 1, 1:30 a. m.—
To Gen. IS. Grant, Washington: You
are doubtless aware of the serious riot
: which occurred in this city on the 30th.
A political body styling itself the Con
vention of 1804, met on the 30th, for,
as it is alleged, the purpose of remod
elling the present Constitution of the
.-state. The leaders were political agi
tators and revolutionary men, and the
action o the Convention was liable to
produce a breach of the public peace.
1 had made up mv mind to arrest the
head men, if the proceedings of the
Convention were calculated to disturb
the tranquility of the department, but
! had noca use foraction un'll they com
' mitted the overt act. About forty
whites arn 1 blacks were killed, and a
boutone hundred and sixty were woun
ded. Everything is now quiet, but I
deem it best to maintain a military su
. premacy in the city for a few days un
til the affair is fully investigated. I
, believe the sentiment of the general
community is a great regret at this un
' necessary cruelty, and that the police
could hav 3 made any arrest they saw
tit withou tsacrificing lives.
P. H. Sheridan,
Maj. Gen. Com'g.
It will be observed that Gen. Sheri
dan prone unces theleadersof the Rad
ical Coilve ntion political agitators and
rei'otutiona ry men , and declares that
they con,'in died the. overt act of breaking
the peace. The testimony of Gen. Sher
idan is strong additional evidence a
gainst the 6 'adical conspirators now on
trial before the court of popular opin
ion. Of eou rse the Radicals will de
nounce and vilify him, but those who
followed his ,'eadin the army and those
who in their 1 mines admired the gal
lantry of his military services, will
-upport and honor him in his emphat
ic condemnation of Louisiana Radi
calism.

.3,00(1 Soldiers From all Paris of the
Male, declare, for Clynu'r and
(he I n ion !
The great Union Soldiers' Conven
tion announced to meet in Ifcirrisburg,
on the first of August, was held ac
cording to announcement, upwards of
3,W) soldiers being in attendance ! A
mong the incidents of the Convention
were the following:
The Beaver County delegation was
composed of twelve delegates, nine of
whom are wounded men , formerly Re
publicans, who never voted the Demo
cratic ticket, hut are now enthusiastic
for Hiester Clymer.
Among the Cambria delegation was
Capt. Jolm Humphreys, who served
with distinction during the Mexican
war, and for three years in the late
war. When Geary was made Lieut.
Colonel, at Pittsburg, on the way to
Mexico, Humphreys was made Captain
of his company, and commanded it
throughout the struggle and at the fi
nal charge at Chepultepec. llumph
erys knows Geary and can't support
him.
The delegation from Berks county
carried a banner on which was inscri
bed "Old Berks, 8,000 majority for Cly
mer."
GEN. J. B. SWEITZEIt, of Pitts
burg, was made temporary Chairman
of the Convention. GEN. WM. Mc-
CAXDLESS,of Philadelphia, was e
lected permanent President, Gen. W.
W. 11. Davis, of Bucks, was appointed
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions. After the adjournment of the
Convention, the immense throng form
ed in procession and marched to Bol
ton's Hotel to pay their respects to Hon.
Hiester Clymer, who, upon repeated
calls, and amid the wildest enthusiasm,
appeared and addressed the assembled
heroes in a speech which drew forth
round after round of applause. Beck's
Brass Band, from Philadelphia, and
other bands, enlivened the occasion
with the most splendid music. The
following are the resolutions adopted
by the Convention. They are the sen
timents of three fourths of the soldiers
of Pennsylvania:
Whereas, The Convention managed
and controlled by politicians, which
-assembled in Pittsburg on the -t11 of
June last, pledged the officers, soldiers
and sailors of Pennsylvania to the sup
port of the Radical disunion members
of Congress, and as opposed to the just
and constitutional restoration policy
of President Johnson; and
IVtuTeas, The members of the said
Convention falsely styled themselves
the representatives of the soldiers and
sailors of Pennsylvania, and presumed
to speak for them without authority;
and
I Wherem, The proceedings of the said
i Convention misrepresent the true sen
timents of the great muss of the return-
I edsoldiers and sailors of this State, and
; do great injustice to the late defenders
I of the Constitution and the Union;
j therefore be it
i Resolved, That we, the authorized
| representatives of our late companions
j inarms, do repudiate the proceedings
of the Pittsburg Convention of the sth
of .June, because they do not represent
j the true sentiments of the officers, soi
| diers and seamen of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That we hold the same ho
lief now that we did when we took tip
arms in 18(51, that the war was a war
| for the Union, and for no other pur-
I pose; that the agreement we made
| with the government when we took
I up arms to defend her against armed
rebellion is found in the joint resolu
tion of Congress, adopted July 22,
I 18(51, which declares that this war is
I not prosecuted on our part in any spir
; it of oppression, nor for any purpose of
| conquest or subjugation, hut to defend
and maintain the supremacy of the
| Constitution, and to preserve the U
| nion with all the dignity, equality,
and rights of the several States uniiii-
I paired. This is the liond many sealed
i with their lives, and many others sign
j ed in blood.
/(em!red, That the failure of Con
j gross to carry intoetfect thisjjoint reso
lution after the war is over, and to re
| store the Union with all the dignity e
! quality, and rights of the several
| States, unimpaired, is a gross violation
of a solemn compact made with the
defenders of the Government at her
time of greatest need and peril.
Ilesolced, That we repudiate the ac
tion of Congress, which is an insult to
every officer, soldier and seamen, who
served in the Federal army during the
Rebellion. Their policy asserts that
our victories accomplished what the
enemy could not, divided the Union,
j and the fruits of our toil and blood
! bought victories turned to ashes in
their hands.
Ilemlced, That we cordially endorse
\ the r storation policy of President
Johnson, as announced in hi*fsnual,
i sjiecial and veto messages, and as fur
ther madeknown to the country in his
treatment ofthe States lately in rebei
: lion. We believe it to be just and hu
mane, and better adapted than any
! other known policy to restore those
| States to their constitutional relations
to the Union, and bring renewed peace,
j and happiness and prosperity to the
I country, it is in keeping with the
I generous treatment which a tnagnani
i mous victor awards to a brave foe.
Resolved, That the act ion of Congress
in refusing seats to the Senators and
| members from the South, who bear
! true allegiance to the Constitution and
: laws, whilst tiiat body is engaged in
changing the fundamental law of the
country in an important particular, is
revolutionary in Us action; whik*. their
conduct in taxing the South without
her consent strikes at the vital princi
ple of constitutional liberty—that there
can be no taxation without representa
tion.
Resolved, That we are opposed to ne
gro sufl 'rage, and all legislation that
has for its object the raising of the ne
gro to social and political equality with
the white man, or tomakenim the net
of the nation, meets our unqualified
disapproval, lie and his friends should
be satis tied that the war has given his
race the-boon of freedom, and should
not airn toeontrol the destinies of the
country.
ReM.itred , That we return thanks to
God ior giving victory to the Federal
armies over armed insurgents, and we
congratulate the country upon a return
of i'jeace. It is as much our duty now
to use our best endeavors to heal up
the wounds of the rebellion, as it was
to take up arms in defence of the U
nion.
R,uiotrc That we deny that John
W. (jeary is the soldiers' candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania. He is the
choice of the Radicals, who are seeking
to de stroy the Union we perilled out
lives to preserve. The men who plac
ed him in nomination and who are
now his most active supporters, repu
diate the objects of the war by declar
ing th e South out of the Union, and by
accepting their nomination, he as
sumes their principles, which violate
every thing he contended for ji tiie
field.
I Resolved, That we endorse the nom
ination of the Hon. Hiester Clymer,
the De inocratic candidate for Governor
of Pen nsyivania, because he is a man
of integrity and a statesman of experi
ence, and approves the principle- we
advoca e. We call upon our late com
panions in arms in this State to rally
to his support, for his election will be
an endorsement of the cause for which
we fought and bled, while hi- defeat
will be a defeat of the cause of the U
nion.
Jii'suiced, That the Radicals in Con
gress, professing to speak for the ma
jority of the people, have recently tes
tifc'ed their preference for the negro by
appropriating money to support liim
in n llem -s-, by the payment to him of a
bounty t >fs3oo, and their repudiation of
the wiii te soldier and his claims by the
pa-sa;ge, of a bounty, bill allowing but
§lOO to hint, without even a provision
appropriating money for the same,
thusdL regarding his faithful and pa
triotic services, demonstrates to the
country their belief in the assertion
that the nesrro hears the palm.
Result rd, That we, the soldiers of
Penusy Ivauia, in Convention assem
bled, dr. return our sincere thanks to
the lion-. Edgar Cowan and Charles
Buckak'W, our representatives in the
.Senate of the United States, for their
noble conduct in sustaining the Presi
dent's policy of restoration.
'JPiiE Radicals are running a rene
gade "loco-foeo" fur Governor, and are
compelled to import two other rene
gades, Jack Hamilton, of Texas, and
John A. Logan, of Illinois, to stump
for h iin. The old wheel-horses of the
Whig and Republican parties, men
like Kx-Gov. Johnston, Henry W.
Tracy, Gen. Irwin, and Col. J. It.
Flanigan, will not pull in their team a
ny longer.
WHO are "disloyal" now? Who are
the "Copperheads" of to-day? A few
years ago the Democrats were styled
"disbynl" and denounced as "Copper
heads, because they would not support
tlie President. Now the Radicals, the
Geary party in ibis State, are engaged
in the In terest opposition of the Pres
ident and the vilest abuse of his name
and character. They are "disloyal;"
they arc the "Copperheads" now!
DF.MOCP.ATS OF BEDFORD COCN'TY!
Organize in your districts. The pros
pect before you is bright. The coun
try can now be rescued from the mis
rule of Radicalism. But we must nil
do our duty. We must charge along
the whole line. Let every school dis
trict have its organization.
TIIERI*. are now but two parties in
this eon dry; the Conservative, or Dem
ocratic, in favor of an unbroken Union,
the Radical, or Negro Suffrage, in fa
vor of prolonged Disunion. Ch<K>se ye
this day whom ye will serve.
' Th e Secretary of the Radical County
Convention, has not yet dared to make
any explanation of the manner in which
Col. Filler was counted out of the nom
ination. Is the matter inexplicable?
A mat the Hessian, Bergner, the
regular commissioned agent of the
Winnebago chief, had made his ap
pearance among the discordant and
stubborn conferees of the "loyai" men
at Bedford, a most apparent fluttering
ensued. A change appeared to come
over the spirit of the dreams of some
of them, with magic suddenness. The
wonderfully "winning ways" of the
Hessian were never more wonderfully
displayed.
X. B.—We are not to be understood
as hinting anything about Cameron's
presence at the Springs.— Fulton Dem
ocrat.
Tm; way the "soldier's friends" of
Bedford county signalized their attach
ment to the "boys in blue" was by
slaughtering two of them—one in con
vention, the other in the conference —
and then joining in the conspiracy to
surrender the spoils to Richards, a close
friend to the "boys in black." They
acted the same way in Fulton county.
Lieut. Moore and Lieut. Pott, (both
better men than liicnards, the resolute
stay-at-home), are well known to have
been candidates for Assembly and both
were defeated!— Fulton Democrat.
THE candidates before the respective
conferences were all strong men, and
the claims of each were strongly urged
by bis conferees. — Fulton llepubticun.
That is, until the appearance of the
Winnebago's agent, Bergner, when the
claims of some of them were not urged
so "strongly."— Fulton Democrat.
Tub Fulton County Conferees, who
met at Bedford (so we are informed by
a gentleman of their own party) lay
I the blame of Mr. Duffiehl's defeat on ;
I John T. Richards—the stay at-home
nominee for Assembly. They say that
Richards displayed an unseemly haste
| throughout to force his own nomina
! tion (contrary to the fair understand
ing upon conditions of which he re
ceived the instructions,) and thereby
in-ure Duffiehl's defeat; and that he
! finally did urge on his nomination and
thereby killed the Doctor. Prav, how
is this, Mr. Richards? Answer out
like a man, and don't be slow about it.
People will form rather Cameronian
1 notions of your fitness for a seat in the
Pennsylvania Legislature, if the sharp
little trick charged on you by the con
ferees be not met by a flat confutation,
j — Fa/ton Democrat.
—————i
THE "soldier's friends" of Fulton,
! Bedford and Somerset counties are a
i bout as sincere in their professions of
love for "the brave hoys" as the disu
nionists in Congress are, who dragged
to their bar and humiliated with a pub
lic reprimand a gallant soldier, Gen.
Rousseau, for thrashing (most deserv
edly, but not ha If enough,) a pitiful dog
from lowa, forcalling him a coward.—

—ln St. Domingo the Government
lias officially announced the fact that
hostilities with the rebel generals had
ceased bv virtue of an agreement with
them, i>y a degree of the 22d of June,
the Government had granted a general
amnesty to all the mal-contents who
had sustained the Government of Gen.

considered as a traitor, and prosecuted

Banner , of Wednesday, has an account
of an affair of honor that occurred at
Mosely's Ferry, on the previous Satur
day, between a Captain Birch and a ;
Mr. Knight, ypung lawyers from Si-i
herton, Georgia. The distance was i
eighty paces, and there was to be no
proposition of adjustment previous to
the third tire. At the second tire, how
ever, Mr. Knight was shot through 1
both thighs. The wound, though pain

dangerous. As usual, the tight we hear,
was about a lady.
—The post commandant at Savannah
has received orders from the General
commanding the Department, to use
judgment in enforcing General Grant's
late order, and to hold the interests of
the country ahead of private difficul
ties, believing that the reconstruction
of tlie State depends much upon the
moderate behavior of the military, and
that a too strict enforcement of Grant's
order will cause a complicated st te of
aifairs, as many persons would commit
transgressions for the sole purpose of
being arrested, which on their release
