Shall the Union be restored, or UiilU- ; nion perpetuated? Shall eight mil lions of pcqple be made slaves, by en forcing upon them Taxation without lit cto ber. ANOTUKK war! A correspondent writing us from Cumberland, Md., 'see another column informs us that Mr. John Cessna, of this place, made a speech there recently in which he said there would be another war! Who wants war ! If any body desires to see this country deluged with blood a sec ond time, let them vote the Radical ticket! COUJUADO has gone Democratic! — Another gain. Hurrah for the "Earth quakes!" "lIESTORIXCi RFBEIjS TO POWtR." This is theeonstant out-cry of the np- > I ponents of I President .Tohnsr >n. Well, ; the question is just this: &/>< dt tkepeo pie of the South he made slaves? Shall then he taxed and pet not be rep)'esented in , the Government ? Shalt they h-e govern ed by military satrap* at the erpemeoj the whole country? or shall they beper mitted to govern themselves as the people j of other States do ? •Thev have submit j ted to the authority of the Govcrn | ment; they have not only given npaP ' idea of resisting the Government, I but they have s irrendered their doc ! trine of the right of secession andhav e | yielded up their f nstitution of slavery . Their leading tnen declare that the.v arc loyal and swear that they will foi - j ever remain so. Gov. Orr and Sonata r j Perry, of South Carolina, declared ii i i our own hearing, at a meeting at th e | National Guards Hall, Philadelphia, a ! few days ago, that the South has forever ! ahandona!Secession and X-'gro Slavery / i that those questions had been submit ted to the arbitrament of arms, and the I trial hp buttle had decided against Sere-'- I slon and Slarcn/. Let that decision, said Messrs. Orr and Perry, be final and eternal. Now when these leaders of, the South thus publicly proclaim the I defeat and submission of their s -etion ; ; when tliey declare themselves and their people more ardently attached to the Union than ever before; when they ask the pardon of theGovernmeut and i desire once more and forever hereafter I to live with us as friendsand brother-; | shall Ave repel them, saying, "We wili j have nothing to do with you Rebels and Traitors?" Would such a course, i !on our part, be just? Nay, would it be ostriotic? How could we ever have that true peace which flows from the hearts of people who respect and love each other? .Such a course would damn us in the eyes of the civilized world. The oppression of Hungary by Austria, the trampling under foot of I' Poland by Russia, the thraldom of Ire land beneath the yoke of Britain, aM would pale into insignificance before • the inject slavery to whieh the po! cv of the Radicals would reduce ten State - : and eight millions of people. For no such purpose was oar Government es tablished. To no -- jeli end wits the war for the maintenance of that. Gov ernment waged. Our civil polity rests : upon the theory of united, co-equal and , Independent States. The war was wa ged to maintain that polity, and in or der to accomplish that end, to hrinp | htm': Rebels to the discharge of their du \ lies as citizens. .Vrr, irh ai repentant Retxds p< l down upon their /.awes and ask i to he adow d to discharge the duties of fiftze. w, are we to say they shall not be I permitted? Shall we say to them, j "Though you desire to be loyal, though you anr willing to live with us as broth-j ers, we will not sulfer you? Though '■ you have repented in sack-cloth and ashes, we wii! have nothing to do with ; you?" Never' Never! If God has j implanted one charitable feeling in our | bosoms, if one spark of love for the , good of our common country animates ; our hearts, we will scout from our l minds every thought of so great injus tiee, so contempt'hle an exhibition of ; malignity. liXAJ.

The great- j est and best men from all sections of the country, the wisest statesmen and the purest patriots, took part in its ! councils. If was a true Union Conven tion. * It was ana-emblage of tin-rep resentative men of every State, men determined to re-unite in the bonds of fraternal love, the broken sections of our country. The work of the Con vention is crystalized in the Address and Declaration of Principles which it put forward. AVeshall lay the Address before our readers at an early day.

Geary hasjnst made a speech nt "Lochiel Iron Works," in which he j ■ ' took open ground in favor of NEGRO SUFFRAGE! He declared that he ': was "ready to meet the issue of Negro Suffrage, and he was not prepared to | deny TH E RIGHT OF VOTING TO ! THE CO GO RED MAN!" Hitherto; some people have thought that Geary was not in favor of Negro Suffrage. Now he has settled all doubts on that subject. Let every body know that Geary says he is not prepared to deny i the Negro the right to vote. THAT cock won't fight! We mean the answer which the organ of the Dis unionists makes to Col. Filler's allega tion that he was "counted out" in the "Republican" County Convention. — The blame cannot be shifted upon the Secretary of that Convention who is now residing in Baltimore, to whom Col. Filler does not attach any blame for his defeat. Nor can it shield the fraud which was perpetrated upon Coll Filler, behind charges against Demo cratic candidates or the Democratic •County Convention. Votes were not called out for one man ami tallied for another in the Democratic Convention, as Col. Filler alleges and says he can prove, was done in the "Republican" ; Convention. But the fraud upon Col. Filler is east into the shade by the trickery which was used to floor Capt. Stuekey in the Republican Legislative Conference. In order to defeat all 1 chances of Dr. Dufiield's nomination for Senator, the conferees from Somer ' set, at the instance of Mr. Stutzman and his friends, voted for Richards, thusdefeating Capt. Stuekey, in order ; to give Mr. Stutzman a show for the nomination. If there was any other reason for defeating the one-legged sol dier, Capt. Stuekey, we would he glad to have the organ of the Disunionists ; state it. KOA. NOXTUONERA HI.AU:.

Ifo !)<><■ l;<' Hie Kqiiiiis of ] White Foreigners! ■ Thaddeus Stevens was re-nominated for Congress, by the Radicals of Lan j caster county, one day last week, and upon acceptingthenornination he made a speech from which we make the fol lowing extract: '•We have not yet done justice to the oppressed race. We have not gone its far as the Emperor of Russia, when In ordered the freedom of thousands of his oppressed peopleand endowed them ; with the right of citizenship. We have ! been too much governed by our preju : dices. We have listened too much to i those whose cry is "Negro Equality" i | —"Nigger" "Nigger" —"Nigger!" 5 ! He are influenced too much by those per- I j sons from foreiyn fatal* trho, irhile in I search of .freedom, deny that blessed boon j i to them trho are their equals." The man who uttered these words , i stands in the fore-front of the Radical 1 faction. He is its Jupiter Tonans, and 'as iie winks it nods. lie speaks for it and his utterances are accepted by its | members aspartsof their creed. Hence i , the Radical faction, through Thaddeus ! Stevens, formally andsblemnly declare , j that y cymes are the equals of white foreiyners! Foreign-born citizens! De seendants of the pioneers who came j I from the hanks of the Rhine, from the j vine-clad hills of France, from the ; green fields of Erin, from bonnie Eng land and from glorious Scotland! Do, j you believe in such doctrine, and j | will you march under the banner of: I such leaders? IIIIIHI iwi | |in ill ii n IITI .*.>■ VBFSE OF THE SOLDIERS. Henry in a recent speech at York, s.iid that the soldiers who assembled at Harrishurg on the first of August, | were "Shyster- and Cowards, Skulker* and Hospital Bummers." To say the . least of it, such language was very tin-j becoming in one who aspires to the dignified position ofGovernorof Penn sylvania. But what shall be said of a ; man who applies -uch epithets to the bravest of the brave, simply because they do not choose to cast their votes for him? For instance, take the rep resentatives of our own county in that Convention. Who wili dare to repeat what Geary has said, in regard to i Tims. 11.

The Committee appointed by thcNa- . j tional Union Convention to present a copy of the Address and Resolutions 'of the Convention to President John- i ' son, performed thai duty at the White 1 louse, on .Saturday last. Senator Rev- Crdy Johnson made the presentation speech. The President made a most excellent and patriotic reply, which we will lay before our reader-- indue time. . During the ceremony, GEN. l\ S. i GRANT stood by the /'resident's side, ! and at the close of the proceedings the ' two retired together. The President ■ made some patriotic allusions to the services of Gen. Grant, which were loudly chi ered by the audience. Here is another opportunity for Geary. Is I Grant a "Shyster and a coward, a skill- i j korandall" pital Bummer,"too? A Si'CCK OF WAR. ! - . | : Prince Maximilian, ol Mexico, hav j ing proclaimed the port of Mntamorns and other Mexican ports closed to for- J eign and coasting trailic, President Johnson ha- i -ueda proclamation do- . daring the manifesto of Maximilian null and void, because the blockade j proclaimed isnot upportod by sufficient ' naval or military force. The Presi i dent's proclamation concludes hysav : ing that "any attempt which shall be j made to enforce the blockade against | the Government breitizens of the Uni- : ted States will be disallowed." This ! may lead to a - rious dispute between i our Government and Louis Napoleon and the Emp ror of Austria. But the ! !

The ranting and blustering of these pestilent creatures serves only to keep up discord between those who should be united in feeling and senti ment. if we are ever to have peace and concord in this land of ours, such public nuisances as the Franklin lle yository must be abated.

The Great National Union Conven | tion assembled at Philadelphia, in the grand Wigwam prepared for its sit l tings on Tuesday, 11th inst., and was I called to order by Post. Master General A. W. Randall. Delegates were pre ; sent from every State and Territory in , the Union. The best men of all par i ties weie present. Republicans and Democrats sat side by side in its ooun ' cils. Nortiiern war men and Southern 1 war men met and shook hands in token :of re union. Massachusetts and South Carolina clasped hands, and as the band struck up the air of "Auid Lang Syne," many a manly heart w..-touch ed and many an eye filled with tears • of joy that the friendship of the past was about to be restored, never again to be broken. Pit 11. A DITLA ii IA , Aug. la.—The Con : vention was organized yesterday by the temporary -election of Gen. Dix as President. After the delivery of his opVuing address, and a prayer by Rev. i Mr. M'Donough, committees on cre dentials and organization were ap pointed, and the Convention adjourn ed to meet at noon to-day—l">. lion. ('. L. Vailandigham, George Francis Train and 11. Clay Dean sent in letters of withdrawal its delegates, in order to promote harmony. The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following incidents: At a quarter of twelve o'clock the band . struck, up the "Star Sjiangh d Banner," followed by the "Flag of our Union : forever," and a few minutes before twelve Senator Cowan, Senator Duo!it tie, Orvihe 11. Browning, Secretary .;* : the Interior; A. W. Randall, Esq., Postmaster General and Chairman of the Executive Committee; HOB. Mont gomery Blair, Mr. Wendell,and other prominent light-of the National Union Convention, walked up the main aisle and took their seats on the speaker's platform. Shortly after these gentlemen were seated, a novel - 'one took place, the like of which has not been witnessed j since the first agitation of the slavery question. The Hon. A. W. Randall •announced that the delegates from j those two ultra sections of the Union, Massachusetts and South. Carolina, | would enter the building arm inarm. ; The effect was electrical. The dele gates rose to their feet, and sent forth j cheers upon cheers, making the welkin i ring with their huzzas. The delegates alluded to entered and 1 marched arm in arm up the eastern 'aisle of the Wigwam. The South Caro lina delegation was headed by Gover nor J. L. Orr, and the Massachusetts party by Gen. Couch. Amid the most tumultuous applause these gentlemen took their seats. The hand then struck up a national air, which was greeted | with great applause, after which the air so popular with the rebels during | the war, "Dixie," was performed, when tlie entire delegation vociferous ly applauded. General Custer led the applause when "Dixie" was played.— Mr. John Hogan, of Missouri, then rose, and in stentorian tones proposed 'three cheer- for the thirty-six United States, which were given with consid erablc vim. Some delegate then pro i posed three cheers for President John sou, which were met with a rather : spirited ri spouse, and these were fol lowed iiv three cheers for the Union, and also three cheers for the Red, White and Blue. When the name of General John A. Dix, of New York, was proposed a temporary chairman, the lute rebel j General "Dick Taylor" rose and pro : posed three cheers for him, which were ; given with con id< rable zest. Tlie deliberation- of the Convention were opened by a speech from General Dix, after he occupied the chair. The speed! was very conservative in iis cnaracter, and was delivered with great emphasis and expression. A number of the sentiments uttered by theGener i al found a ready response on the part of those assembled, and be was fre quently interrupted witn applause.— i The General is a very finished speaker, ' and he was listened to with great at ' tention. The seeneduring the prayer that fol- I lowed General Dix's speech was very | impressive. The entire assemblage j rose to their feet, and a deathlike still- I ties i prevailed, while the clergyman with a clear voice and distinct oiumci : ation, invoked ihe blessings of the Al mighty on the deliberations of the i Convention. Pin OADKLFHI.V, Aug. Hi.—The Com mittee on Permanent Organization yesterday (loth) reported lion. J. it. Dooiittie as permanent President, and a long list of Vice Presidents and Sec retaries. Mr. Vullatuligham's letter 1 of withdrawal was read. A committee of two from each State was appointed lon resolutions —Messrs. Cowan and | Bigler representing Pennsylvania- -the ! former as chairman.

An immense number of people were I present in the Wigwam, among them | many ladies. Great enthusiasm and | the utmost harmony prevailed. Hon. | Hiester Ci.vmer entered the Conven ! tion at a quarter of twelve o'clock, and I was received with deafening applause i from the whole vast assemblage. The Philadelphia Inquirer says : At Up'cioek yesterday the scene in side the Wigwam battled description. It becoming generally known that the Convention would assemble at the Wigwam, notwithstanding the report to the contrary, long before the hour announced for the commencement of business the spacious edifice was com pletely filled, not an available seat was vacant, and such a perfect sea of hu man heads as presented itself to the sight has rarely been seen in this city. The contractors for the Wigwam have informed us that the building will accommodate nearly fifteen thou sand people. If such is the face there were fifteen thousand present, for i while Senator Doolittle was speaking i there was not a nook or corner in the < vast, auditorium that did not display a 1 i human head. < THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. < PlI lI.ADERPH I A, Aug. l(i.—TheCon vention assembled in the Wigwam at ,; 10 o'clock a. in., pursuant to adjourn- j ■ I ment.

EDITOR: — For the last two weeks, the Radical Disunionists of this I city and county, have had their hopc -1 and expectations greatly excited at the pro-poet of the great Abolition gather ing that was to take place lust Saturday, the 11th of August. The faithful here looked with great interest to the ap proach of the day, as their leader- had taught, them to believe that they would hear the choicest orators of the Abolition faith. The names of Nye, of Nevada, Hamilton, of Texas, Stokes, of Tonne— see, the present congressman from this 1 district, Ex-Governor Francis Thomas, together with other le—or light.-, were ostentatiously paraded in the placards calling the inecting for the last two weeks. The audience fully expected to he regaled with the choicest hits of Ah ! olition oratory, but whatsv disappoint ment! Instead of the distinguished I Disunionists whom the leaders had promised their follower* to hear, tin y were forced to he content with two rcn i egade Democrats, who have been aho { litionized within the last five years, to ! wit : one Joseph Stewart, who made i little election district reputation during the war, a f John Cessna I can say some {:.;, a. I. have long known him and run , tinted wit I his political ant - cedents, hut before I proceed to pay my re.-poet- to this illu-tviotts eonver to the abolition caus u 1 wil: endeavor to convey *o you some idea of the charae ; ter and size of the meeting. 1 did suppose from the size of the | hand-hill that decorated the lamp posts and corner* of the -treets, lor ti.e la-t two weeks, that it would be inipo i sihle to number the voter- that won! I be in attendance; indeed as! had some curiosity to see John Ces-na perfirm in his present character of Abolitionist, 1 ; was fearful that 1 would lie unable to procure a good position to see and hear ; from the unusual crowd that would be !in attendance. Rut 1 encountered no • such difficulty,for aside from the Pres ident,' Vice Presidents and .Secretaries, there were, all told, from iif y to seven ty-five j>er-on- present. A band of music paraded the streets for the pur pose of adding to the size of tiie meet ing, but it would not answer, and it was apparent and patent to every one, so far as numbers were concerned, that it was a ridic.ulou- failure. After the appointment of the officers i the performance was commenced by Mr. Stewart. His remarks were evi dently prepared with much care. It is only ncce—arc to-u.v that he wa-thor oughly familiar with the Abolition ! catechism, which is placed in the hands of every recreant Democrat who at taches himself to the Abolition Church. I lis speech abounded in all those trite plirases which are taught by the Disun ion school masters, Sumner, Stevens j and Wade, such as ffrcbeis," "eopper ' heads," "traitors," "the lite of tht na tion," A., Ac. i will content myself with Stewart by saying that theglib ! ness with which he used the choice and j elegant words that 1 have named, shows his thorough familiarity with the Abolition dictionary luul that alts r a time of furtln r probation, unless there should hea collapse of the party, he may expect some reward for his new-born zeal. But the grid speaker of the occasion was your townsman, John Cessna. As i am a Pcnnsyivanian and know John a* an old politician, I had some curios ity to see how he would perform in his character as an abolition speaker. I j can only say that he was entirely equal to the task and his speech won the un qualified approbation of hi- Abolition j audience. tie well kn< w the Disuniou : party with wiiicii he now affiliates ! and that nothing he could say would he too strong for their stomachs, lie ! .wasparticularly violent upon thewhoie | Southern people; predicted another ; war in 14168, when they wnuid be com pelled, with uplifted hands, to -no for pardon or lie driven into the Gulf of | Mexico. A-for General ixv. tiie iatch l et of whose shoes he is not worthy to unions:*, he consigned him to the-al lows. Bui that portion of Cessna's speech, with which his appreciative audience was most delighted, was that in which he laugh' his brethren how : they could retain their ill-gotten 1 < ne 'er. JR,trk :i,people of Jiydj'ord! HiD man, Cessna, here announced as his o ! jiinion, that the aboliiioni-ts, iri.'ii i!n j h>j/.d hsyro-constitute u majority of i the citizens of tiie United Stai—, ami | that if they, flit aioidiouists t/roes, oidy cling together and ri ruam i united, both in winterand summer, in j despite of color and scent, they the ley la! men, could always retain thegov ! crnment in their hands. The atinounce : ment of this opinion encouraged and j seemed to arouse the spirits of INS | brethren, wliich have been ratiier j drooping for the last month in this ! itude. It remained for this man j" point out the way by which the Abon iioti"sts could retain power, even in Maryland, to wit, a perfect union be tween the negro and white man. < hiiy let the white man eschew the .-jdrit < ; f caste ant! be regardless of the perfume that emanates from the hide of hi* black brethren, and the Abolition.-!* i will be enabled to retain their asccml ! aiicy ev. :t in Maryland, i know tin t | no white man in this State, however deeply steeped in the abolition pool, • would have been so shameless a- to I have suggested -ucii a coalition. !'. re mained for (hi- l'ennsylvania abedi tienist to suggest this union of white and black, to achieve a party triumph. As a nativeot" l'ennsylvania, I feel sat istiod that when this man Ces-nil, sug gestcd this infamous and liltliy eoali , tion between white and black, that lie j was speaking the opinions of hut few of the citizens of the Old Keystone State. In conclusion, I would suggest, m view of John Cessna's remarks, that when he again addresses the people, a specia Hag should be prepared to adorn the stand from which lie sinaks, in place of the red, white aal blue, a black and white Hagr tfic hlacK n.ie strongly preponderating a.-a fitetnhlem of his opinions. Truly yours. J. SNIDER.
