I'KINIDDNr AOICVSON AT IMT'KALO.
On the arrival of the Presidential
Excursion Party at Buffalo, X. Y.,
they were welcomed by Ex-President
Fillmore, in an eloquent and patriotic
speech, to whicli President Johnson ro
-1 plied, saying among other things the
following:
it was truly said in the beginning of
the struggle," 1 placed myself behind
1 the Constitution of my country as the
: great rampart of freedom; (Cheers);
and by it i have stood umleviatingly to
! this moment. It itas been said that i
* have abandoned those who elected me,
and i am charged with treason, hat if
i the men before me look into the hearts
of my opjionents and into mine, they
j would see who the traitors to the Un-
I ion and the Constitution are. (Cheers.)
I started in litis struggle in opposition
! to tiiose who were trying to divide the
j government of the Coiled iStates, and
I u'iio made themselves the leaders In
the .South. There I haveslood. 1 was
determined that where this great circle
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 ii. 1 have stood against the at
j tack thai wits made from the South;
) L stood there until victory perched i:p
--j on our standard, until the army was
| disbanded and until the rebels came
forward to acknowledge their error and
confessed that the sword, the arbiter
which they had selected, had sytiicd
; the question against them. In a spirit
j of magnanimity they said to their sis-
I ter states anu to their fellow-country
! men, that they were willing to accept
i the terms of the government, to be o
bedient to the Constitution and to re
ceive theprotection of the Union. They
wanted to be a part and parcel of us a
gain. I -aid this: Obey the Coustltu
| lien, submit to the Jaws, an 1 lot lis ail
! become one people again. The work
progressed, the States met in Con veil-i
tion and revised their Constitutions, |
and their Legislatures assembled and !
diil the three thing- re quired of them, |
and in those three things the Cabinet ;
participated, and one of them was your i
distinguished fellow-citizcn, the Seere- |
tary of State, Wm. IT. Seward, and
what was then said to these people and ;
their error? We said to them—re
seind 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 amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States abolishing slavery, now and for
ever, within the jurisdiction of the li
nked States. They did it. Now that
; the apple of discord is removed—now
j that they are willing to accept of our
| terms —now that they acknowledge o
j bedienee to the Constitution and ihe
! laws —now that they are willing even
I to help in payment of the debt that ha.-.
! been incurred in the suppres-iouof litis
! rebellion—now that they are willing to
j take up the ting of the United Slates
j and the Constitution of the country,
| let us go together to the common altar
: and let all else parish for the preserva
tion of the government. It was not
i in my nature or in my heart to say un
i dor these circumstances that they were
! not a part of the government, i said,
• as others have said, they are the bone
; of ourboneand flesh of our tie.-fii. 'i h<-\
| are our kindred and \v theirs. We!
| area part and puree' of a great whole,
j The parts arc as essential to the whole
as the whole is tot-he parts. This great
: government cannot get along without
; the South, without-the .North, the Ea.-t
i and the West. Large a.- it is, it is not
large enough to divide. We should
I have no division, but go on with the i
work of restoration, and resume our
! career of prosperity and greatness.
Without distinction of party, 1 have
been made welcome here to-day.
| Thank (iod the time is coming when
! men are tearing loose from the shack-
It's of party. Thank Cod the time is
coming when we can see the greatest j
and iiest men of the country rally a
round this altar instead of their party,
and when we begin to see the country j
rise above party you may lie we!las-u
--! red that all is -afe. ! repeat, tlie Con
stitution and lite Union are in your
hands. ! know they will be safe. May
| (Tod's blessing rest upon you. Good
bye.

Calls were made for Secretary Hew
■ aril, who in the course of his remarks
said:
Fellow-citizens, one word: the l'res,-
j ideut struck the key-note of the polit
, ical argument of this day and this
time. It is that this Union ought not,
must not, can not remain divided. It
i lias been divided live years already.
| It must lie closed up. The circle must
i tie closed within the coming year.
Since the war, which left it dissolved
: and divided, this same Andrew John
i 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,
taxation, everything, is complete, ex
cept the one thing of representation of
ten State- in Congrc-s. The question
is between the President and the Con
gress. Of all tha iias been done, till
me what the Emigre men of the I ni
-1 tod States have done? Of all (hut has
been done To bring us so neir the con
summation, you see that lotbing has
• been done except through fie direct a
! gency, activity,and natriofsm of An
drew Johnson, President f the i ni
ted States. AYiil you staitl, then, by
Congress? (cries of "No, no.") o r will
you stand by the President? ' A voice
"We will stand by the Pi'sident for
ever."]
Then, you are New Yorkers. You
stand just where 1 purport' to stand.

I Meeting held in Miltiiutown, en l ues
j 1
i day niglit of last week:
Pit I LADKLI'LL! A, Aug. Jl, 18(5(5.

My Dear Sir—Pressure of official du
ties will prevent an acceptance of your
kind invitation to address the people
i of J uniata county, at! heir meeting on
, the Ith of September, i regret very
j sincerely that the pleasure ?s thusde
i nied to meofatrain "meeting many old
I and esteemed friends, and conferring
| with them upon the issues now agitat
: ing our country and dividing in
; ment our ]>eop!e. !i would have htrti
| a pleasing duty to haw been]>ermitt(aft
j to say t:t my old attquaintanws that Illy
' same cordial and undying love for
; Union of the Stat: and the supremacy
i of the Constitution ol'our fathers still
controls, as it has in all tunes past, my
| political action. I desire no
i remodeled or better Constitution and'
I Union than thai under which theeoun-
try mis prospered m 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, I shall faith
fully and with what small ability I
possess advocate and maintain "the
unity of the government" the "nation
ality of tin- people" of the United
BUvtes. 1 shall ask no- "shibboleth" of
party, know no sectional schemes of
war cries, but enter upon, continue,
and end the fight under the glorious
banner of the national Constitution. I
shall most cordially unite with all men,
irrespective of former party associa
tions, who are willing to defend these
principles ami war under this banner.
It is alleged, I am aware, that there is
no design upon the part of any politi
cal organization now existing to de
stroy or break up the Union of the
.States, ihe allegation is thus made,
and many good men, no doubt, believe
in this truth, if no such design is in
tended, it is manifestly true that the
jiractica/ efiect of the action of the last
Congress is in that direction, and must
result, if persevered in or permitted by
the people, in the establishment of a
system of laws and regulation- viola
i: ve of the npirif of an equal Union of
'lie States, and subversive t>f thefun
dam> ntal .ruths of American institu
tions.
To String us back to the purer feel
ings of tin- Republic was the purpose
of the late Philadelphia convention.—
The acts and sayings of that assemblage
are before the people, and submitted to
them for approval or rejection. The
re-nit of that decision there is little
doubt will he rendered in such form ,
and/o/ve as to settle forever the supre- I
iiiacv of the Christian feeling of broth- j
eriy kindness that must exist, if we in- j
tend to live together as one people, un- ;
der one government.
To endorse, as you propose, the ac
tion of Pre-ident Johnson in relation •
to bis courageous, patriotic and wise
efforts to restore at the earliest moment
the late rebellious States, now in full
submission to the law-, to tliejr rights
under the Constitution, is so manifest
ly the duty of every citizen, untram
melled by unmeaning bigotry, and free
from partisan malignities, hat. ! -ball
be.-sully mistaken in the character of
my old neighbors and frienus if they
do not the work effectually.
If national unity, for which our sol
dier.- fought, ami the 'preservation of
the Constitution which our fathers
framed, constitute your platform, count
me in the tight, in spirit, if not bodily
nresent in your councils and warfare.
Very truly yours, Ac.,
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON.

AT I'NIONTOWN, PA.
On Friday, August :11st. 1808.
Mr. I 'lyiiKT commenced by statin";
ho won id J■. -T turn ressurroetionist, and
di.K uf tho dead issues of the past.—
The fearful war through which we
have just pas ;od has wiped away the
old questions of slavery and secession,
and left ns with living issues, upon the
-proper settlement of which depends
the prosperity of the Union. Tho war
was waged for three purpose-: First,
to preserve the. Union intact: second,
to sustain the Constitution ; and, third,
to enforce the laws, j; 'in • ] 11 was
io accomplish these purposes you yave
your sons to the bloody harvest. Sup
pose three years ;v_p>, yot: had been told
it -was to give a social and political e
quality to four millions of negroes,
would any body of men—would the
Democratic party—have support"d 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 keen known us a
war j tarty. [Laughter. Ado: I rant
received the sword of Lee a Yankee
(teddier could have travel.ed from the
Penobscot to the Gr.P wiicout being
disturbed. Them was peace through
out roe length and bread n ofliie land.
Why th ii lias lite Union not been re
stored in its 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
.ting of ihe Radical Republican parry.—
[Continued cheering.]
Yv'ith the surrender of Lee and John
ston, the objects of the war were accom
plished. But jn-t at the close of the
contest, one of those rare and horrid
crimes occurred, around which gather
in history the circling events of centu
ries—the as-assination of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United State.-.
If, under his administration, harmony
should again come to the land, who
will not see in the auspicious event the<
spirit of God moving over the troubled
waters. Educated in the faith of Jef
ferson, and brought up at the feet of
Jackson, Andrew Johnson when he
took an oath to support the Constitu
tion, and enforce the laws, meant to
keep that oath, and most nobly has he
done so. [Loud cheers.] The speaker
then traced the reconstruction policy of'
the President, and showed its identity,
in the formation of provisional govcrn
meitfs for the late rebellious States
with the policy inaugurated by Presi
dent Lincoln in the cases of Louisiana
and Ten nes .see. Was not that Is is du
ty? What else could he do? Was he
not bound, as the Executive of the na
tion, to reconstruct the State govern
ments and establish law and order a
mong the people? | Ciieers.J But la
even went beyond this; he required of
the reconstructed States that they
should ratify the( lonstitiitionai amend
ment abolishing slavery, and repudiate
the rebel debt. The States acceded to
these conditions; and no one at the
North gainsayed the acts of the Presi
dent at this time last year, when his
policy had boon fully developed. Ev
ery one—Democrat and Republican—
united in saving lie had done Lis duty,
and done it patriotically and judicious
ly. The Democrats not only earnestly
endorsed him, but went farther and
proclaimed from every stump in tin-
State that the Republican endorsement
of the I'resident was a sham and a
fraud. ["lt was."J We were denounc
ed by tho opposition for pointing out
their deceit; and that party went into
power a year ago upon their endorse
ment of tin President's poiicy. They
won the October elections in this State
by a clear cas - of false pretences.—
[Cheer.-.] It was not the first time they
had carried elections in that way, hut
he trusted in God it would he the ia-t.
[Tremendous ch"or:ng.j They wer.-
no sooner seated in power, than the
radical leaders falsified their pledges,
and declared that the President's re
construction plan would not -nit them.
The only reason in tie world for this
change in their views was this: i f the
Southern States wore adimtted mihcir
just and constitutional snare in lite
Government, the liepr.bm-au party
would he driven from power. iUiieers.J
The radical leaders seeing this, deter
mined that the States should not be
admitted until they efi'ected a perpet
ual insuraneeon their own retention of
power and patronage. Mr Oymer the.ll
exposed the programme of the radicals
in Congress, from the hour thai Colfax
declared it, prior to his election as
Speaker, through all its varied phases
in the action of (he Committee of Fif
teen. In forming this Committee, they
erected inside of the government a se
cret tribunal that finds its parallel a
lone in the Directory of the French
revolution. [Cheers. j From this tit-
ling beginning the radicals started on
a career of outrage and treason that can
only he corrected by the people. They
had been eight 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 tin-Constitution. ( Laughter, j
But there was one thing yet wanting,
and that something io give immortali
ty to a party rotten at heart. [Cheers.]
For this they schemed and plotted
eight months, and finally, when it
came to the dog days, they were driven
to the adoption oi what, is know n as
the "Congressional plan."' He then
VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5.365
proceeded to analyze the proposed < *on
stitutiona! amendments. The second
amendment regulating, or rather at
tempting to tube the States into negro
suffrage, he -how • I was to benefit 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
negroes, would lose :i member of Con
gress. The amendment proscribing
ail the people of the South who parii
patod in the re!>e!lion he branded as an
attempt to drive all the heart, the
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 iiitiuentiai class of its population,
j Cheers.]
Mr. Ciymer then quoted at length
from Wendell I'hillipps' at Framing
ham, Mass., in Ju'y ia.-t, to show thai
after ail the amendments was nothing
but a cheat and a lie, "to bridge over"
the October elections. When the peo
ple had been again humbugged the
real purpose of tie- Radicals would be
expo-.1. That purpose was to coatis
cate the lands at the South, and divide
them among the negroes. The read
ing of Wendell i'oillipps' siKS'eii and
| Mr..Chiiier'scomments on its infam-
I ous character, Jiad a most decided ef
; feet upon his hearers.
If Andrew Johnson had been a eor
| rupt and wicked man, all he had to do
| was to fall in with the radicals, and
I they would have rejoiced to make him
| their candidate for a .second term. lie
; showed that the policy of Congress was
I framed merely to save the life of the
j Republican party by deceiving the
j people into again trusting that party
; with power, when other schemes of
'j the Radicals, now kept quiet to "bridge
i over the October" elections, would be'
; thrust upon the country.
Mr. Ciymer said by the will of the
/Democratic party of Pennsylvania, lit
l-hud been put forward as the exponent
/of their principles in this canvass. —
/ (Cheer-. J He iiad nothing to conceal,
shut would frankly state his principle-,
pile had been nominated because he
! was supposed to have illustrated by his
life, his devotion to the principles of
the Democratic party. He didnotask
the support of any man 011 personal
grounds, but claimed only the votes of
those who agreed with him in princi
• pie. Men die, but principles are etcr-
I nal. He then examined the platform
i of the Republican State Convention,
and -bowed that it contained tin doc- j
trine of negro suit rage, sugar-coated, so I
that incipient radicals could swabow 1
it. J It* also referred to the statement)
made by Mr. T. M. Marshall, of Pitts- i
burg, that General Geary had express
ed to him tiis hearty concurrence in tlie
policy ami principles of Tliaddeus Ele
vens, the disunionist. Bat deeitledly
the richest part of Mr. Clymer's -peei'h
was his withering ridicule of the at
tempt being made by the old Know
Nothing leaders to wheedle and blar
ney the Irish into the support of the
Kadical ticket, by a professed desire
that the neutrality laws should be re
pealed. __ |
NEGRO SUFFRAGE. —'WhiSt Senator
:>oo!it!ie w;e making a speech, al Jin tr
ain, a few evenings ago,a radical ex
ciaiineti, '-Why not let the negroes
vote.
"The reason they should not vote, I
teli them, is simply this: in the South
ern States there is a mass of colored
population, among which nine-tenths
of the men have no sense of famiiyand
family ties —(tremendous applause)—
and i i:e women have 110 sense of virtue;
and Pie man who would buiid the foun
dations of human society upon a popu
lation liko 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- 1
cut condition would nigkc a burlesque
o'' republican institutions —(laughter ;
and applause)—and weour.-cives would
be tiie laughing stock of the worid. j
(Loud cheers.) Lean understand how, j
in the Northern States, where thereare j
a fcAV colored men brought up as freed -
men among freemen, una file habits
and ; bought- of freemen, with families
like freemen—l can understand how in
some of the Stales sue!) a population
may be admitted to smfrage. Hut in
the .States of tiie South -'touted a tliey j
are now, with this population in its;
present-condition, there is no man in hi.-
senses, in my judgment, who would get
up to defend negro suffrage. There is
still another and more potent reason
than the on- i have stated, 1 told it last
fall—General Grant mid me ami au
thorized me to state it—that the at
tempt-to force negro a : rage upon those
sr.tes now would in. \vably lead to a
war of races." ("Thai - so.")
GK.VKY AND NKoUo SI'PKKAOK.
General Geary in his late speech at
York, said:
"1 have already said that I am in fa
vor of universal justice and freedom; and
I claim to be a sincere and earnest
friend of ABO men, in whatever clime
or country, without regard to caste or
condition, who are struggling for a
higher and nobler state of monyi, politi
cal and religious freedom—andeplarge
ment of their natural and inalienable
rights."
The right to vote is the only "higher
state of political freedom" which the
negro is.-;niggling for. (learv is there
fore in favor of .wtjro but he
might have said it in fewer words.

TIIE RADICAL CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
The Civil Rights bill makes the negro
the "equal of the white man before the
law. N'o State can ever make* distinc
tion between them.
It destroys State laws, and tines 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; he i- only lial.de before the
United State? ('ourts.
Th<' negro is made a citizen whether
he isfitorunfit, the intelligent foreign
er must wait t:ve years.
Perfect equality,betw< en the races is
created liv it. The negro may marry
the while woman. No State can pre
vent it.
They can foree themselves by it into
our cempany in tiie hotels, in the *ai>,
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 contrary to the will of the
people of the Stave.
Congress has already given them the
right to vote in ail the territories.
It create-a swarm of officers to eat out
our substance. The white man pays
them to take care of the negro.

TUTS WAY TU RAISE TAXES.--' The
Solons of the Nation lining hard at
work ton v' , and modify the revenue
! laws of the country, and apparently
having taxed their precocious minds to
the utmost to know what to tax. - I
assume the responsibility of suggesting
to Congress the following list as addi
tional items for taxation, believing
that if adopted it u 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
Congn-ss, which, if prop-gated in the
future as rapidly as in the past six
months, would yield at least five hun
dred millions during the remainder of
the present l ongn-.-s.
A tax on a!i Radical dead ducks. -V
very large revenue, would be derived
from this, 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
be no more of tin. s" j>astiifnt fowls left
alive.
A tax on all lying and slandering
Radicals, which, on an average of only
one in a thousand being a man of truth,
would yield a aim not less than suffi
cient to nay the national debt in two
years.
A tax on cheap patriotism, comput
ing the number of intensely "loyal"
persons who didn't light 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
vra-e they can get Ho chance, at an av
erage of nini out of ten would yield
fifty millions annually. This class
would include all clerks and office
hold rs during iWe war, wtw were nev
er in the army, and'who will not now
give ; heir offices over to the soldiers: —
A burdensome tax sin.mi 1 he levied 011
such disinterested patriotism.

I want you to have something to say
about the division of your forces the
ne.m time, i would divide your great
army into three grand divisions.
"Let the first go armed and equipped
as the laws of the army require, with
small arms and artillery. Let thai be
tin • largest division and let them do the
