The Rev. Henry Wurtl Beecher litis
written the following letter in reply to
the request from a special committee
that lie would officiate its chaplain of
tlie Soldiers'ami Sailors' Convention,
to lie held in Cleveland, Ohio, on trie
17th in.st:
PKKKSKIISL, Aug. ;5(, lsi;t;.
Charles G. I Tat pine, Brevet Brigadier
General; If. IV. S/oritm, Major Gener
al; Gordon Granger, Maj. General,
('ommiller:
Gentlemen —l am obliged to you for
the invitation which you have math; to
me to act as chaplain to the Conven
tion of Soldiers and Sailors about to
convene at Cleveland, i canhot at
tend it, but I heartily wish it and all
other conventions, of what party soev
er, success, whose object is the restora
tion of all the States lutein rebellion to
their Federal relations.
Our theory of Government has no
place for a State except in the Union.
It is justly taken for granted that the
duties and responsibilities of a State in
J Vdera! relations tend to its political
health, and to that of the whole na
tion. F.ven Territories are hastily
brought in, often before the prescribed
conditions are fulfilled, as if it were
dangerous to leave a community out
side of the great body politic.
Had the loyal Senators and Repre
sentatives of Tennessee been admitted
at once on the assembling of Congress,
and, in moderate succession, Arkansas,
Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina
and Virginia, the public mind of the
S nth would have been far more heal
thy than it is, and timsg States which
lingered on probation to the last would
have been under a more salutary influ
ence to good conduct than if a dozen
armies watched over them.
livery month that we delay this
healthful step complicates the case.
The excluded population, enough un
settled before, grow more irritable; the
army becomes indispensable to local
government, and supersedes it; the
Government at Washington is called
to interfere in one and another difficul
ty, and this will be done inaptly, and
sometimes with great injustice—for
our Government, wisely adapted to its
own proper functions, is utterly de
void of those habits, and unequipped
with the instruments which fit a cen
tralized government to exorcise author
ity in remote States over local attain*.
Every attempt to perform such duties
has resulted in mistakes which have
excited the nation. lint whatever im
prudence there may be in the method,
the real criticism should be against the
requisition of such duties of the Gener
al Government.
The Federal Government is unfit to
exercise minor police and local govern
ment,anil will inevitably blunder when
it attempts it. To keep a half score of
States under Federal authority, but
without national ties and responsibili
ties; to oblige the central authority to
govern half the territory of the Lin ion
by Federal civil officers and by the ar
my, is a policy not only uncongenial to
our ideas and principles, but pre-em
inently dangerous to the spirit of our
Government. However humane the
ends sought and the motives, it is, in
fact, a course of instruction, preparing
our Government to he despotic, and fa
miliarizing the people to a stretch of
authority which can never be other
than dangerous to liberty.
f am aware that good men are with
held from advocating the prompt and
successive admission of the exiled
States hv the fear chiefly of its effect
upon parties and upon freed men.
It is said that if admitted to Congress
the Southern Senatorsand Representa
tives will coalesce with Northern Dem
ocrats and rule thecountry. Is this na
tion, then, to remain dismembered to
serve the ends of parties.' Have ue
learned no wisdom by the history of
the last ten years, in which just tins
course of sacritieing the nation to the
exigencies of parties plunged us into
rebellion and war?
Even admit that the power would
pass into the hands of a party made up
of Southern men, and the hitherto dis
honored and misled Democracy of the
> North, that power could not he used
l just as they pleased. The war has

We {five above a portmit of Ex-President Pierce. We do this to revive the
recollection of old times, when the Union was not dissolved, when the country

changed, not alone institutions, hut
ideas. The whole country has advan
ced. Public sentiment is exalted far
beyond what it has been at any former
period. A new party would, like a
river, he to seek its channels in
the already existing slopes and forms
of the continent.
We have entered a new era of liber
ty. The style of thought is freer and
more noble. The young men of our
times are regenerated. The great ar
my has been a school, and hundreds
of thousands of men are gone homo to
preach a truer and nobler view of hu
man rights. All the industrial inter
ests ot society are moving with increas
ed toward intelligence and lib
erty. Everywhere, in churches, in
literature, in natural sciences, in phys
ical industries, in social questions, as
well as in politics, the nation feels that
the winter is over, and a new spring
hangs in the horizon and works through
all the elements. In this happily chan
ged and advanced condition of things,
no party on the retrograde can main
tain itself. Everything marches and
parties must march.
I hear with-wonder and shame and
scorn the fear of a few that the South
once more in adjustment with the Fed
eral Government will rule this nation!
The North is rich—never before so rich;
the South is poor—never before so
poor. The population of the North is
nearly double that of the South. The
industry of the North, in diversity, in
forwardness and productiveness, in all
the machinery and education required
for manufacturing, is half a century in
advance of the South. < 'li arches in the
North crown every hill, and schools
swarm every neighborhood; while the
South has hut scattered lights, at long
distances, like lighthouses twinkling
along the edge of a continent of dark
ness. In the presence of such a con
trast, how mean and craven is the fear
that the South will rule the policy of
the land! That it will have an influ
ence, that it wiil contribute, in time,
most important influences or restraints,
we are glad to believe. Rut if it rises
at once to the control of the Govern
ment, it will he because the North, de
moralized by prosperity, and besotted
by grovelling interests, refuses to dis
charge its share of political duty. In
such a case the South not only will con
trol the Government, hut it ought to
do it.
It is feared, with more reason, that
the restoration of the South to her full
independence will he detrimental to!
the freed men. The sooner we dismiss
from our minds the idea that the freed
men can be classified and separated
from the white population, and nursed
and defended by themselves, the bet
ter it will be for them and us. The
negro is part and parcel of Southern so
ciety. lie cannot be prosperous while
it is unprospered. Us evils will re
hound upon him. Its happiness and
reinvigoration cannot he kept from his
participation. The restoration of the
South to amicable relations with the
North, the reorganization of us indus
dustry, the reinspiration of its enter
prise and thrift will all redound to the
freed men's benefit. Nothing is so dan
gerous to the freed men as an unsettled
state of society in the South. On him
comes all the spite and anger and ca
price and revenge. He will lie made
the scapegoat of lawless and heartless
men. Unless we turn the Government
into avast military machine there can
not he armies enough to protect the
freedmen while Southern society re
mains insurrectionary. If Southern
society is calmed, settled, and occupied,
and soothed, with new hope- and pros
perous industries, no armies will be
needed. Riots will subside, lawless
hangers on wi.l be driven off or better
governed, and away will be gradually
opened up to the freedmen, through
education and industry, to full citizen
ship, with all its honors and duties.
Civilization is a growth. None can
escape that forty years in the wilder- j
uess who travel from the Egypt of ig-'
n oral ice to the promised land of civili-!
/ation. The freednien must take their
march. I have full faith in the results.
If they have the stamina to undergo)
the hardships which every uncivilized ;
people has undergone in their upward
progress, they will, in due time, take i
their place among us. That place can
not be bought, nor bequeathed, nor
gained by slight of hand. It will come ;
to sobriety, virtue, industry and fru- j
gality. As the nation cannot be sound
until the South is prosperous, so, on I
the other extreme, a healthy condition i
of civil society in the South is indis- j
pcnsable to the welfare ot the freed- j
man.
Refusing to admit loyal Senators,
and Representatives from the South to
Congress will not help the freedmen.— j
It will not secure for thein the vote.—
It will not protect them. It will not j
secure any amendment of our Consti
tution, howeverjust and wise. It will
only increase the dangers and compli-j
cate.the difficulties. Whether we re
gard the whole nation, or any section
of it or class in it, the first demand of
our time is, entire reunion.
Once united, we can, by schools,
churches, a free* press and increasing
free speech, attack each evil and secure
every good.
Meanwhile, the great chasm which j
rebellion made is not filled up. It j
grows deeper and stretches wider! < )ut i
of it rise dread spectres and threatening j
sounds. Let that gulf he closed, and j
bury in it slavery, sectional animosity j
and all strifes and hatreds!
It is fit that the brave men, who, on
sea and land, faced death to save the!
nation, should now, by their voice and j
vote, consummate what their swords
rendered possible.
For the sake of the freedmen, for the j
sake of the South and its mil l ions of j
our fellow-countrymen, for our own :
sake, and for the great causeof freedom j
and civilization, I urge the immediate j
reunion of all the parts which rebellion i
and war have shattered. I am, truly

The New York Tribune lias a fling at i
a "cart loadof'rich men" in New York,;
who lately came out from the Radical.-, j
and took active part in the l'hiladel-!
phia Convention and in the reception ;
of the President in New York. Now,
we do not suppose that A. T. LEWIS,!

HKRTS, the VAXDERHIETS, and the
rest composing the "cart load" need
any defence from any one, or that they
will make any apology to the Tribune
for their conduct. But people will in
quire, why did they take the course
they have taken!
The answer is easy, and should be
well pondered by other men, rich and
not rich, who hold the bonds of the
United States Government, and their
answer is:
1. This "cart load of rich men" are
large holders of the securities of the
United States.
They live and move at a centre
where they see and know all the ef
fects, accomplished and probable, of
the policy of the Radicals upon those
securities.
3. They are justly alarmed at the
proposal to keep the Uniondi vided for
three years or indefinitely, for if the
Radicals succeed in this the interest
cannot be paid, and anarchy may pos
sibly.ensue, in which case our bonds
would be worthless.
Now these rich men may be very
poor politicians, but they are very good
financiers anil those who own the
bonds, or desire to maintain the public
credit right, do well to take the advice
ot # STEWAIIT, and TAYLOR, and HU
BERTS. — Pittsburg Post.

it has hitherto been supposed that
<Jen. Early, who ordered the burning
of Chambersburg, and General Mc-
Causland, who executed the order, had
inscribed their names so high on the
roll of the world's greatest scoundrels,
that for ages to come, and perhaps for
ever, they would be without a rival to
come near them. Hut should the Rad
icals succeed in the attempt they an
m iking to bring on another civil war.
and should Parson Brown low be given
the command of their forces, which h<
aspires to, he would write hi* name so
far above the names of Early and M<-
Causland, that no eye save the All-See
ing could pierce the space between
them.
This miscreant, who is pretending t<
represent the loyal sentiment of tin
South in the Fred. Douglass and Thad.
Sieveus convention now in session a
Philadelphia, proclaimed the following
plan of campaign from the steps of tin
Loval League building:
1 would divide your great army into
three grand divisions. Let the first g<
armed and equipped as the laws of tin
army require, with small arms and ar
tillery. Let that he the largest divi
sion and let them do the hiHimj. Let the
second division be armed with pine
torches and spirits of turpentine, and
let them do the burnhuf. Let the third
and iast division he supplied with sur
veyors'compasses and chains, and we
will survey out the land and settle it.
We will first sell it out, pay the expen
ses of the war with the proceed-,and
then settle it with men who will honor
tliD glorious banner. [Great applause, j
It is almost incredible that anyone
wearing tlie human form would 'give
utterance to such unchristian senti
ments; hut as the speaker belongs to
the school of clerical fanatics who pre
fer the bayonet and torch to the Bible
and prayer-hook, it is, perhaps, not to
he wondered at. The pity of it is, that
in Philadelphia such language should
be greeted with "great applause." If,
however, that army should ever he or
ganized, the reverend orator who pro
poses it will not lie found in the first or
second division. His place will he in
the third brigade, by the side of Butler
—not at the post of danger, but where
the spoils are gathered.
AKOI.ITIOX ASSASSINS.
The fury of the Abolition press gen
erally, because of the popular uprising
of the people to welcome the President
of the United States as hejoyrneys to
wards the tomb of Douglas at Chicago,
is perfectlyawful. Forney, alluding to
Mr. Seward, speaks of the "mistaken
stabs" of the assassin Payne. Hear
what the vile inciter to assassination
says:
"Mr. Seward, bearing the ghastly
marks of Payne's mistaken stabs"
looked out upon the scene with a glare
very much like Mephistophilcs, as he
is understood by the later students of
that cold and relentless fiend."
This monstrous language prompts
the Age to inquire "what exactly is
meant" by "Payne's mistaken statist"
A mistakeisan error,ablundera wrong,
is kindred toa fault—is always to be re
gretted, sometimes to be condemned. I
it is not Payne's stab that the I'rcss \
condemns and regrets. It is the "mis
taken stab," and if we comprehend the
force of words there is hinted here a
hope that the next blow may be more I
sure and the next assassin strike like
Booth and not make a mistake like
Payne.
President .Johnson in ids response to '
the multitude, there being a Tailors'
Association among them, alluded to
"Adam being the first tailor; this For
ney perverts in this way, for which the
rascal should receivethirty-ninelashes,
well laid on:
"Fellow-citizens, let me say that our
great Father in Heaven, the Lord of the
world, was a tailor by trade. [ Laugh
ter and applause. | And when you re
f"r to a historical account of this thing,
you find that my remarks are literally
true."
The Gazette of this city copies For
ney's forgery and breaks out in the fol
lowing manner, obenly suggesting the
President's assassination. It says :
" It is a comparatively light thing
that this demagogue ami ruffian should
viiiil'y Ids fellowiften; but when he un
dertakes to drag the Almighty down
to a level with such men as himself, it
is about time he himself was dragged
down."
The malignity of the baffled conspira
tors is utterly reckless. The leading
rascals commit forgery by repeating
lines the President never uttered, and
then the rabble are appealed to "pull
him down" for uttering them. If such
mad fanatics had their way, there would
he no more "mistaken stabs" by their
hirelings; and yet these same despica
ble wretches are the same men who
but a few months ago declared that op
position to the President was treason to
the Government.— Pittsburg Post.
SIGNIFICANT. —The man who stood
at President .Johnson's right hand,
when he received the committee from
the Philadelphia Convention, on th
18th inst.,and made a speech denoun
cing disunion radicalism —was Gen.
Grant. After thespeech,the President
and Gen. Grant "walked away arm in
arm."—The General, it is said, endor
ses .every feature of Johnson's policy,
and will president a meeting of officers
and soldiers in a few days in Washing
ton to pass resolutions to that effect.
Is Gen. Grant a traitor, too'.' Ouly Gea
ry seems to be "loyal."
GENERAL, CUSTER— in a scathing
letter to John W. Forney, Secretary of
the Senate, makes use of the following
|K>inted language: —
"I will not refer to the seditious and
i nflammatory epithets you applied to
that convention, of which I am proud
to have been a member, but will only
•lass them with your insidious and
wicked harrangues pronounced in the
city of Philadelphia during the sitting
a'the convention, in which you en
lea vored to stir the passions of your
-uppo-ed mob to deeds of violence and
blood. Neither will I occupy time in
exposing your baseness in character
./iing those gallant soldiers of the Ln
on who took part in the convention as
>eing influenced by any but the high
est, noblest, and most patriotic impulses
which govern the human will. Much
ess were they, as you insinuate, tinc
tred with disloyalty. Such unwar
■ mted. unjust, and unprovoked asser
ionscome from you with bad grace
vheii directed against those who, dur
rig tile entire war, have freely and un
dfislily perilled their li ves to restore,
lefend, and perpetuate the principles of
i constitutional government which you
ire laboring to destroy. What have
•on done or accomplished to justify
•ou in maligning and traducing those
•hose patriotism has undergone the
■st of battle and is beyond impeaeh
nent ?"

If! ESTER CI.VM Eli's VoTES.— Tile
.adieu! [aipersare imposing upon their
•aders and making the latter appear
Veq neatly as falsifiers of facts, by asser
ring that Mr. Clymer voted against va
rious proper propositions in the Senate.
Upon reference to the Senate Journals
it will be seen that in every one of these
vises the proposition was not before the
senate, and that the question was sim
>iy will the Senate proceed to consider
he resolution? All the Democrats vo
ed No, in every instance, no matter
what was proposed, because tliey insis
ted that no subject could be properly
Miisidered, and none should be, unti'
a Speaker was elected, according to the
established usage. Wherever the vote
stood 10 to 10 this was the case. Let
every man who desires to be correctly
informed lie on his guard.
It is mean enough to lie under any
circumstances, hut to makeinvoluntary
liars of all who believe you and repeat
your statements, is infernally mean.
We saw a respectable Republican the
other day caught in the predicament—
o.ie who got his information from the
ilarrishurg Telegraph—a\v\ who, to
make the best vindication of his char
acter he could, stamped the paper 1111-
deu his feet. He had lost a pair of
boot i by repeating the statement of the
Telegraph. A paper that is lit to lie
read will not he guilty of such false
hood.— Clinton Democrat.
"You should vote as you shot," say
the Republicans tothesoidicrs. "That's
just what I intend to do," said one of
the gallant Logan Guards the other
day. "J shot down southern traitors to
preserve the Uhiou, and I intend to
vote down northern traitors for the
same purpose." This was a pertinent
and truthful answer, and no m.stake.
If President Johnson and those who
sustain him are not the true Union
party—are not striving to accomplish
precisely what the noble Union armies
fought for—why is it that three-fourths
of the distinguished officers, who com
manded those armies, are supporting
the President's policy? In fact nearly
all whose names were conspicuous dur
ing the war are doing so. Amongst
them are such heroes as Grant, Farra
gut, Sherman, Sheridan, Dix, Slocum,
McCook, Rosecrans, McCiernand and
Averill. If patriotic soldiers
don't know how to vote consistently
with the way they shot, we should
like to know who can tell tt.em! —
Lewistown Democrat.
LET TIIE PEOPEE CONFIDE IN THE
PRESIDENT.— 1 "If any man in the
country, to-day, is anxious to satisfy
the people, we believe it to be An rew
Johnson. And we believe the Presi
dent is impelled to the desire from no
purpose to play the demagogue, but
because be believes in a government of
the people and for the people.
"In the trying labors before the Pres
ident, he will look to the people for
his main support. Lot the people,
therefore, in all parts of the country,
look with confidence to the President.
Andrew Johnson established his devo
tion to his country in the fiery ordeal
of the rebellion. No man making the
same sacrifices for his country which
he offered, can he unfaithful now in
its support, when on his action depend
the future strength and influence of the
government he administers." — Ilurrin
hitnj Telegraph, Dec. Of h, 186a.
THE TUKKAI'ENED DESPOTISM.—
.Senator Goolfttle made a spieeh at
Madison, Wisconsin, on the Ist inst.,
from which we extract the following
telling truths:
Hut, fellow-citizens, I tell you and I
assure you it is as certain, in my judg
ment, as God lives and reigns, that nfi
.ess the people in this country sustain
Andrew Johnson now in his determin
ed ettort to sustain this Union and ar
rest the mad career of this wild ten
dency to centralization, your constitu
tional liberties are enguiphed in a vor
tex from which they will never rise.
; Cheers.) That tendency is to despot
.-ni, the despotism of a tyrannical cau
cus—the meanest of all despotisms
from the days of the seventy tyrants
lown. [Cheers.]
