I'ltFXl!>i;.\T JOHNSON AT 111 iUI.O.
On the arrival of the Presidential
Excursion Party at Buffalo, X. V.,
they were welcomed by Ivx-President
Fillmore, in an eloquent and patriotic
speech, to which President Johnson re
plied, saving among other things the
following:
It was truly said in the beginning of
the struggle, I placed myself behind
the Constitution of my country as the
! great rampart of freedom; (Cheers;;
' and hy it i Jum stood undeviatingly. to
1 this moment, ft litis been said that 1
have abandoned those who elected me,
and I am charged with treason, but if
the men before me look into the hearts
; of my opponents and into mine, they
would see who :he traitors to the Un
ion andtheConsiitutiun are. (Cheers.)
I started in this struggle in opposition
to those who were trying to divide the
government of the United States, and
who made themselves the leaders in
the South. There I havestood. I was
determined that where this great eircie
; of the Union, this magic circle of free
dom, was attacked, whether from the
North or the South, my business was
as far as in me lay to protect and de
fend it. i have stood against the at
tack that was made from the South;
I stood ihere until victory per"bed up
on our standard, until the army was
! disbanded and until the reltels came
forward to acknowledge their t riorum!
confessed that the sword, the arbiter
which ihey had selected, had settled
the question against them, in a spirit
| of magnanimity they said to their sis
ters;ates and to their fel low-con ntry-
I men, that they were willing to accept
j tlie terms of the government, to be o
hedient to the Constitution and to re
i eeive the protection of the Union. They
i wanted to he a part and pared of us a
j gain, i said this: Obey the Constllii
! tioii, sulunit to (in- 'aw.-, and let n- all
become one people again. The work
progressed, the States met in Conven
tion and revised their Constitutions,
and their Legislatures assembled and
did the three things required of them,
and in those three things the Cabinet
j participated, and one of them was your
distinguished fellow-citizen, the Secre
tary of State, Win. ii. Seward, and
what was then said to these people and
their error? We said to them—re
scind your ordinance of secession. They
did it. We said to them, abolish all
obligations in the shape of debts con
tracted for carrying on the rebellion.
They did it. We said to them, fur
thermore, we must have a great nation
al guarantee that no one State could
touch or interfere with—what Was it.'
It was the ratification of the aniend
' irient to the Constitution of the United
; States abolishing slavery, now and for
ever, within the jurisdiction of the U
nited States. They did it. Now that
the apple <>f disc (ru is removed—now
that they are willing 1;# accept of our
terms—now that they acknowledge o
i iictlience to tiic Constitution and tin
i laws— now tiiat tiiey are willing even
j to help in payment of theth Lt line has
1 been incurred in the suppression of this
reltellion—now tiiat they are w tiling to
; take up the liag of the lotted Slates
and the Constitution of ihe country,
I let us go together to the eoinmoii altar
j and let all else perish lor the preserva
tion of the government, if was not
; in my nature or in my JicarLtosay un
j tier these circumstances that they were
i not a part of the government, i said,
as others nave said, they it re tin Gone
of our hone and tlcsh of our llcsh. They
: are our kindred am we rheirs. We
area part-and parcel of -a great whole.
The parts are as essential to u hole
as the whole is tothe pa? ts. This great
i government cannot get along without
the South, without the North, the Jv.-t
| and the West. Large a.- it is, it is not
: iarge enough to divide. We should
have no division, hut go on with the
work of restoration, 'and resume our
career of prosperity ami greatness.
Without distinction of party, I have
: I>een made welcome here to-day.
i Thank (od the time is coining when
! men are tearing loose from the shack
les of party. Tnauk U.MI the time is
coming when we can see the greatest
and best men of the country rally a
round this altar instead of their party,
and when we begin to see the country
rise above party you may he well assu
j red that all is safe. ! rejteat, the Con
stitution and the Union are in your
hands, i know they will he sale. May
j (God's blessing rest upon von. (.rood
bye.
SPEECH OK ME. SEWARD.
Calls were made for Secretary Sew
ard, who in th • course of Ids remarks
said:
Fellow-citizens, one word : the Pros
' ideut struck tin- key-note of tiie polit
ical argument of tliis day and this
time, it is that this Union ought not, !
must not, can not remain divided. It
lias been divided live years already.
I It must la*, closed up. iiie circle must
be closed within the coming year.
Since the war, which left it dissolved
and divided, this same Andrew John
, son has been President seventeen
months. Your Congressmen have been
Congressmen eighteen months. The
Union, in nine-tenths of its parts, is
already restored ; law, order, justice,
1 taxation, everything, is complete, ex
cept tin; one thing of representation ol
ten States in ('ongress. The question
is bet ween the President and the Con
gress. Of all tha ha been done, tell
| me what the Congressmen of the Cni
* teil States have done? Of all that has
been done to bring us so near the con
summation, you see that nothing lias
boon done except through tlio direct n
genev, activity,and patriotism of An
drew Johnson, President of the Uni
ted States. Will you stand, then, by
Congress? (cries of "No, no. ') or will
you stand by the President? j A voice
"We will stand by the President for
ever."]
Then, you are New Yorkers. You
stand just where I purpose to stand.
(Cheers.) Mr. Reward here introduced
.Secretary Weiles. Ex-President Fill
more introduced Admiral Farragut, re
marking, "lie couples his ships togeth
er, and don't mean that the States shall
be separated."
General Custer said, "he did not in
tend to mak a speech, but he fought for
the Constitution and the Union for four
year-." lie was warmly applauded.
M r, Seward introduced Seuor Romero
as the Minister from Mexico, whey
three cheers were given for that reoub

The following letter of ex-Governor
WM. F. JollNstuX, was received by
WM. M. AI.MSOX, Esq., and read at
the great Democratic National Union
Alerting held in Milllintown, ou Tuos
day night of last week:
Pill AHKM'IIIA, Aug. 31,
JU/n. M. Ailison, /£>•</.
My i >ear Sir—Pressure of official du
ties will prevent a:i acceptance of your
kind invikdion to address the people
of Juniata county, at their meeting on
the 4th of September. I regret very
sincerely ihut the pleasure is thus de
nied to me of again meeting many old
and esteemed friends, and conferring
with them upon the i*-ues now agitat
ing our country and dividing in senti
ment-our people. It would have been
a pleasing duty to have been permitted
to say to my old acquaintances that the
same cordial and undying love for the
Union of the States and the supremacy
of the Constitution of our fathers still
controls, as ii lias in all times past, my
political action. I desire no imp-row!,
remodeled or better Constitution and
Union than that under which the coun
try has prospered in peace, conquered
in war, and triumphantly vindicated
American liberal institutions at home
and abroad. The present contest for
political power involves great and sa
cred principles and truths, and upon
its decision much of the future peace,
prosperity and progress of our country
depend, in this contest, 1 shall faith
fully and with what small ability 1
possess advocate and maintain "the
unity of the government" the "nation
ality of the people" of the United
otatcs. i shall ask no "shibboleth" of
party, know no sectional schemes of
war cries, but enter upon, continue,
and end the light under the glorious
banner ofthe national Constitution, i
shall most cordially unitewithall men,
irrespective of former party associa
tions, who are willing to defend these
principles anu war under this banner,
a is aileged, i am aware, the there is
no design upon the part of any politi
cal organization now existing to de
stroy or bnak up the Union ofthe
ntates. Tiie allegation is thus made,
and many good men, no doubt, believe
in this truth. If no such design is in
tended, ii is manifestly true that the
practical effect- ofthe action ofthe last
Uongres- is in that direction, v. d must
result, if persi vcred in orpermiited by
the people, in the e.-tah!is iment of a
system <>; laws and regulation- viola
tive of tie- of an equal Union of
• be ;ki;te-, and subversive of the fun
damental .ruth* of American institu
tion*.
To bring us back to the purer feel
in_r of tin' bit"public was the purpose
of the late Philadelphia convention. —
The acl and sayings of that assemblage
are befos* I'ne people, and submitted to
tin-in for approval or rejection. The
result of that decision there is little
doubt will be rendered in such form
:md/osn- as to settle forever the supre
ma'-y of ih Chris'bin f(cling of broth
erly ki.idic-ss that must exist, if we in
rend to live together as one people, un
der one government.
To ud rse, as you propose, the ac
tion of President Johnson in relation
to his courageous, patriotic and wise
(•(forts to restore at the earliest moment
the late rebellious States, now in full
submission to the laws, to their rights
under the Constitution, is so manifest
ly the duty of every citizen, untram
melled by unmeaning bigotry, and free
from parti/an malignities, that 1 shall
be sadly mistaken in the character of
my old neighbors and friends if they
do not the work effectually.
If national unity, for which our sol
diers fought, and the J reservation of
the Constitution which our fathers
framed, constitute your platform, count
me in the light, in spirit, if not bodily
present in your councils and warfare.
Very truly yours, Ac.,
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON.

SPEECH OF HON. HIMSTKit ( I.VUKR.
AT UNIOXTOWN, I'A.
Oil Friday, Ainrnsl nisi. IN(><>.
Mr. Clvnier eommenced by stating
he would not turn ressurreetionist, and
dig utt the dead issues of the past,—
The fearful war through which we
have just passed has wiped awav the
old questions of slavery and secession,
and left us with living issues, upon the
proper settlement of which depends
the prosperity of the Union. The war
was waged for tilree purposes: First,
to preserve the Union in m •! : -eeond,
to sustain the Constitution ; am!, I bird,
to enforce the laws. (Cheers.) It was
to accomplish these purpose- you gave
your sons tothe bloody harvest. Sup
pose three years ago, you had been told
it was to give a social and political e
quality to four millions of negroes,
would any bodv of men—would the
Democratic party—have supported the
war had such been its declared purpose.
[Cries of "no," "no."; Certainly not,
nor would the Republicans, for they as
a party have never been known as a
war party. [Laughter.l fte Grant ]
received iiie sword of lav, a yankee-j
peddler could have travelled from the j
Penobscot to the Gulf without being !
disturbed. There was pence through- j
out thy length and breadth of the land. j
Why I lieu has the Union not been re
stored in it* pristine glory? it is be
cause the radical Republicans have ta
ken the place of armed rebels in the !
field. [Uproarious cheering.] The on
ly traitors in the country to-day are ;
those who travel under the disunion
flag of the Radical Republican party. — ,
|Continued cheering.]
With the surrender of Lee and John- !
ston, the objects oflhc war were accom
plished. Rut just at the close of the ;
contest, one of those rare and horrid i
crimes occurred, around which gather
in history the circling events of centu
ries—the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, j
If, under his administration, harmony |
should again come to the laud, who.
will not see in the auspicious event the j
spirit of God moving over the troubled ,
waters. Educated in the laiih ol Jef
ferson, and brought up at the feet of
Jackson, Andrew Johnson when lie
took an oath to support the Constitu- j
tiou, and enforce tiie laws, meant to j
keep that oath, and most nobly ha* he ]
done so. [Loud cheers.] The speaker I
then traced the reconstruction policy of
the President, and showed its identity, j
in the formation of provisional govern- j
ments for the late rebellious States i
with the policy inaugurated by Presi- j
dent Lincoln in the case* of Louisiana
and Tennessee. Was not that his du- j
ty? What else could lie do? Was he J
not bound, as the Executive ofthe na- j
tion, to reconstruct the State govern- '
meats and establish law and order a- ]
mong the people? [Uiieers.J But he I
even went beyond this; he required of
the reconstructed States that they |
should ratify the( '(institutional amend
ment abolishing slavery, and repudiate '
tile rebei debt. The State* acceded to j
these conditions; and no one at the ;
North gain -ave;! the act - of the Presi
dent at this time last year, when his !
policy had been fully developed. Ev
ery one—Democrat and Republican—
united in saying he had done hi* duty, j
and done it patriotically and judicious- j
ly. Tile Demot rats not otuy earnestly .
endorsed him, but went farther and
proclaimed from every stump in the
State that the Republican endorsement
of the President was a sham and a
fraud. |"ii was."] We were d* ion ne
ed by the opposition for pointing out
their deceit; ami that party wen. into
power a year ago upon their endorse
ment of the ''resident's policy. They
won the October elections in this State
by a clear ease of false pretence*.—
(Che- rs. j It wa* not the tirst time they
had carried eh ction* in that way, lair
he trusted in God it would be the last.
[Tremendous elveriug. I They were
no sooner seated in j ower, than Hie
radical leaders falsi tied their pled ,
and declared thai the President's re
construction plan would not suit them.
The only reason in tli world for Ibis
change in their view* was this: If the !
Southern States were adm : :ed hitheir
just and constitutional *nn;v in the
Government, the Republican party
would be driven from power, j Sheer*.J
The radical leaders seeing this, deter
mined that the State* should not be
admitted until they et'scted a pen fi
nal insurance oil their own retention of
power and patronage. Air Ciymer then
exposed the programme ofthe radicals
in congress, from the hour that ( olfax
declared it, prior to his election as
Speaker, through all its varied phases
iu the action ofthe Committee of Fif
teen. In forming this Committee, they
erected inside of the government a se
cret tribunal that finds it* parallel a
lone in the Directory of the French
revolution. [Cheers.] From this fit
ting beginning the radicals started on
a career of outrage and treason that- can
only be corrected by the people. They
had been eigiit months in maturing
their plans in Congress. The proceed
ings of Congress showed that they
deemed it a necessity that at least once
a day some tinker from New England
or the West should present an amend
ment to the Constitution. (Laughter, j
Rut there was one thing yet wanting,
and that something to give immortali
ty to a party rotten at heart. [Cheers.]
For this they schemed and plotted
eigiit months, and finally, when it
came to the dog days, lhey were driven
to the adoption of what is known as
the "Congressional plan." lie then
VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5,365.
proceeded to analyze.the proposal Con
stitutional amendments. The second
amendment regulating, or rather at
tempting to tube the States into negro
suffrage, be showed was to l>cnefit the
New England States, in which there is
no negro population, by cutting down
the representation of States with a
large negro population. Under it Penn
sylvania, with its hundred thousand
4iegroes, would lose a member of Con
gress. The amendment proscribing
all the people of the South who parti
pated in the rebellion he branded as an
attempt to drive all the heart, ti.es
brain and the manhood out of the
Southern States, if this government
is to exist it cannot exist with the mark
of degradation on the brow of a large
and influential class of its population.
[Cheers.]
Mr, Ciymer then quoted at length
from Wendell Phillipps' at Framing
ham, Mass., in Ju'y last, to show that
after all the amendments was nothing
but a elicit and a lie, "to bridge over"
the October elections. When the peo
ple ha i been again humbugged the
real purpose of the Radicals would be
exposed.' That, purpose was to couii.—
eate the lauds at the South, and divide
them among the negroes. The read
ing of Wendell Phillipps' speech and
Mr. Clymor'a comments on its infam
ous character, had a most decided ef
feet upon his hearers.
If Andrew Johnson had been a cor
rupt and wicked man, ail he had to do
was to fall in with the radicals, and
tin y would have rejoiced to make him
their candidate .'bra second Urn.. lie
showed that the policy of Congress was
framed merely to save the life of the
Republican party by deceiving the
people into again trusting that party
witis power, when other scheme.- of
the Uadieals, now kept uuit't to "bridge
over tiie October'' elections, would be
thrust upon the country.
Mr. Ciymer said by tlu will of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania, iie
had been put forward sis the exponent
of their principles in this canvass. —
[Cheers, j Ile had nothing to conceal,
but would frankly state his principles.
He had been nominated beeau- > lie
was supposed to have illustrated by his
life, his devotion to the principles of
the .Democratic party, ile did noia-k
the support of any man on personal
grounds, but claimed only the votes of
those who agreed with him in princi
ple. Men die, but principles are eter
nal. He then examined the platform
of the Republican State Convention,
and- bowed that it contained the doc
trine of negr< • suffrage, sugar-coated, so
that incipient radicals could swallow
it. He aiso referred to the statement
made by Mr. T. M. Marshall, of Pitts
burg, that General Geary had express
ed to him ids hearty concurrence in the
policy and principles ofThaddeus Ste
vens, tin di-unionist. But decidedly
the richest part of Mr. Clymer's speech
was his withering ridicule of the at
tempt being made by the old Know
Noiiiing leaders to wheedle and blar
ney the Irish into the support of the
Radical tide t. by a professed desire
that the neutrality laws -houhi lie re
pealed. _
N EC? iniSCFFIM.G E. —While Senator
poo'.Hde was making a speed:, at Buff
alo, a few evenings ago, a radical ex
claimed, "Why not let the negroes
vote.
"The reason they shonai not vote, 1
tell them, is simply this; in the South
ern States there is a mas- of colored
population, among which nine-tenths
of the men have no sense of family mid
family tics - (tremendous ap> lauso
and the women have no sense of virtue;
and die man who would build tin foun
dations of human society upon a popu
lation like that knows nothing of repub
lican government. (Great applause.)
I say that to base suffrage on the negro
population of the .South in their pres
ent condition would make a buries'..ue
of republican mstitatiiais —(laughter
and applause)—and we our.-dve.- would
be tiie laughing stock of the world.
I Bond cheers.) I can urn! .stand how,
| in lit .' Northern States,where thereare
a few colored men brought up a.- treed
■ aum amongfrcemea, v c.h tiie habits
ami fiiotjgiits ,f fret men, with families
'ike freemen -1 can understand how in
-nine of hie States sum a ]-.puiation
, may be• admitted to suffrage. Rut in
: the States of the South situated as they
are now, with this population in its
present condition, there 1- no man in his
senses, in my judgment, who would get
j up to defend negro suffrage. There is
i still another and more potent reason
than the on. 1 have staled, I told i! iast
; fail—General Grant told me and au
thorised nit! to slate it—that the at
tempt to force negro sail rage upon thost
States now would Inevitably lead to a
' war of races." ("Thaffs so.")
GEARY AND NEGRO SI I EKAOE.-
General Geary in his late speech a!
! York, said:
"I have already said that I am in fa
vor ufuni versa! justice and freedom; and
I cialm to i>e a sincere and earnest
friend of ALMnen, in whatever dime
or country, without regard to caste or
condition, who are struggling for a
higher and nobler state of-unyal, politi
cal and religious freedom—and enlarge
ment ol'their natural and inalienable
rights."
The right to vote is the only "higher
state of political freedom" which the
negro is struggling for. < Joary is there
fore in favor of negro but he
might have said it in fewer words.
—The Hungarian Constitution >l
11840 is to he restored.
I TIIF, RADICAL CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
The Civil Rights bill makes the negro
the equal of the white man before the
law. No State can ever mukea distinc
tion between them.
It destroys State laws, and fines a
judge who decides according thereto.
If a negro murders a white man or
ravages a white woman, he cannot now
be tried before a State Court, without
his consent; lie is only liable before the
United States Courts.
The negro is made a citizen whether
he Mitor unfit, the intelligent foreign
er must wait five years.
Perfect equality between the races is
created by it. The negro may marry
the white woman. No State can pre
vent it.
They can force themselves !>v it into
our company in the hotels, in the cars,
in the lecture room, and in the public
assemblies.
The power exercised in it can allow
the negro to vote, to sit as jurors, and
to hold office contrary to the will of the
people of the State.
('ongress has al. udy given them the
right-to vote in all tiie territories.
i i createst! swarm of officers to eat out
our substance. The white man pays
then: to take care of the negro.
It creates a public prosecutor who is
paid by the < ioverumeut as a spy upon
the white man for the benefit of the ne
gro. — Exchange.
Tin: WAY TO RAISE TAXES.— The
Soions of the Nation being hard at
work lorevise and modify the revenue
laws of the country, and apparently
havingtaxed their precocious minds to
the utmost to know what to tax. 1
assume the responsibility of suggesting
to Congrc— tlm following list as addi
tional items for taxation, believing
that if adopted it w ill prove an invalu
able source of revenue to the General
Government:—
A tax on all plans and schemes of re
construction that are introduced into
Ctehgrfts, wiiiili, if pfopogated in the
future aS rapidly as in the past six
months, would yield at lea-1 live hun
dred millions during the remainder of
Lhe present Congress.
-A tax on a'i Radical dead ducks. A
very large revenue would be derived
from .his source within the next six
months,, but if delayed longer it would
be of no avail, as it may be safely as
serted that after that period there will
he !io uiore of these pasti-xsd lowls lei I
alive.
A tax on all lying and slandering
Radicals, which, on an average of only
();:■: in a thousand being a man of truth,
would yield a sum not le-- than sufli
cieut to pay the national debt in two
years.
A tax on cheap patriotism, comput
ing the number of intensely "loyal"
persons who didn't fight when they
had a chance, and who have now such
an itching desire to "clean out" all the
rebels in the land, when they are a
ware they can get no chance, at an av
erage of nine out of ten would yield
fi! y millions annually. This class
would include ail clerks and oflice
li eiders during the war, who were nev
er 'ii the army, and who will not now
give their offices over to the soldiers:—-
A burdensome tax should be levied on
such disinterested patriotism.
