STANTON.
We have heard of mean people, of
low, contemptible,despicable, crawling
dirt-eating wretches, of people who
would suffer themselves to be spat up
on, pulled by the nose, kicked as to
the seat of their pantaloons and cuffed
as to their auricular appendages; we
have heard of dogs licking the hand
that struck them, of swine feeding on
slops dispensed to them by the man
who had just driven them with the
goad, nay, we have even read of one
Uriah Heep, who was so " 'umble" in
his rascality that he would roll in any
sort of dirt to accomplish his purposes;
but it remained for Edwin M. Stanton
to achieve that sublimated refinement
of the infamy of meanness, which con
sists in forcing himself, as a Cabinet j
adviser, upon the society of the Presi
dent. The long and short of what we i
refer to, is this: President Johnson, the j
other day, requested Stanton to resign
the place he holds in the Cabinet as
Secretary of War. A gentleman would
have delivered the port folio of office to
the President, imtanter. Stanton didn t.
If there is anything meaner under the
sun, than this unmanly and ungentle
manly course of the Secretary of War,
we should like to be informed what it
is.
P. S. Bully for Andy Johnson!
That "foot" has come down at last!
Mr. E. M. Stanton has just been sus
pended from office, and Gen. Grantap
pointed Secretary of War in his stead.
Stanton died hard, but he had "to sur
render," as he said in his reply to the
President, to "superior force." What
is particularly gratifying, is the fact
that Grant had no hesitation in accept
ing the "surender."
THE SURRATT CASE.
The trial of John H. Surratt, charged
with complicity in the murder of Abra
ham Lincoln, has been concluded. The
jury were out seventy-three hours, and
at the end of that time, reported that
they could not agree upon a verdict.
The Court then discharged them. They
stood tight for acquittal, and four for
conviction. Surratt was remanded
to prison, probably to be tried on
some other charge. Mr. Bradley,
one of the counsel for Surratt, was
dismissed from the bar by Judge Fish
er (the principal counsel for the pros
ecution) on the ground that Brad
ley had insulted him outside of the Court.
Bradley afterwards challenged Fisher.
There is great excitement in Washing
ton, over the action of Judge Fisher.
The members of the har appear, almost
unanimously, to sympathize with Brad
ley.

Con%ytriM > y to Involve President Jolin-
MMI in the Lincoln Astaswlnatlou!
Cofclesnlon of One or the Conspirators !
J. M. Ashley and B. F. Butler the
leaders In the plot!
The Attorney General of the United
: States has recently come into possession
of documents which show, beyond dis
pute, that J. M. Ashley, member of
Congress from Ohio, and B. F. Butler,
member of Congress from Massachu
setts, the leaders of the impeachment
party in Congress, had entered into a
conspiracy, with one Charles A. Dun
ham, alias Sanford Conover, to pro
cure suborned witnesses to prove that
President Johnson was implicated in
the assassination of ex-President Lin
coln. This man Dunham, orConover,
is the same who was recently convicted
of perjury, and who is now incarcera
ted in the Albany penitentiary. From
' the documents in possession of the At
torney General, it appears that Ashley
was quietly at work to secure the par
don of Dunham, with a view, doubt
less, of qualifying him as a witness a
gainst the very man who was asked to
pardon him. To this end, at the sug
! gestion of Ashley, a letter to the Presi
, dent recommending such pardon, was
, drawn up and signed by Hon. A. G.
Riddle, of Ohio, and endorsed by Jo
seph Holt, Judge Advocate General.
A petition for the same purpose, sign
ed by Dunham himself, was also pre
sented to the President. The recom
mendation signed by Riddle, is dated
July 23, 1867, and its endorsement by
Holt, the day following. Dunham's
petition is dated July 2G, 1867. Three
days afterward, when Dunham dis
covered that he would not be pardoned
and that the order for his transfer to
the penitentiary had been given, he
wrote out and forwarded to the Presi
dent, a statement revealing the diabol
ical attempt of Ashley, Butler and oth
ers, to procure persons who wouldswear
falsely to the connection of President
Johnson with the plot to assassinate
Lincoln. With this statement, Dun
ham also sent certain memoranda of
what the suborned witnesses were to
swear to, and a number of letters writ
ten to him by Ashley. Dunham's
statement, sets forth among other
tilings, that at the instance of Ashley
and Butler, he had persons brought to
the prison in which he was confined,
who were willing to be suborned ; that
Butler and Ashley met them there;
that Ashley instructed them in what
they should testify ; in short that Ash
ley and Butler, in connection with a
Rev. 31 r. Matchett, conspired with
him, Dunham, in his prison, to pro
cu re perj u red witnesses to test ify aga i nst
President Johnson before the Judicia
ry Committee. Among the things
which were to be proved by this subor
nation, were, that J. W. Booth visited
Mr. Johnson when Vice President, at
the Kirkwood House; that Booth and
Mr. Johnson corresponded by letter;
that Booth, just after the 4th ofMarch,
stated to intimate friends in New York,
that in his design to assassinate Lincoln
he acted with the knowledge of Vice
President Johnson. These things were
actually put in the mouths of the per
sons whom Dunham had brought to
the jail, at the instance of Ashley and
Butler. Such is the account given of a
most atrocious attempt to form a most
infamous conspiracy against the Chief
Executive of this Government. As to
the truth of the statement, time will
tell. Dunham, who makes the con
fession, was a tool in the hands of Holt,
Ashley, Butlerand the leading Radicals
in Congress. Holt and Riddle recom
mend his pardon on theground that he
rendered great service, "without solici
tation, in the interests of truth and jus
tice,'''' in the Surratt case, and Holt
says, "a principle of public policy leads
governments to encourage, by all hon
orable means, those charged with
crime, to make disclosures which may
and often do result in unmasking even
greater offenders than those who make
them." Whether Charles A. Dunham,
alias San ford Conover, has, in his dis
closures just made, unmasked "even
greater offenders than himself," let the
people judge.
YANKEE VS. DI Tdl.
We object to no man, as a candidate,
for office, on aeeoun t of his place of birth.
So far as that is concerned, we only
ask, is he now a citizen, and does he
!
bear true allegiance to our Federal and
State Governments? Hence, we .do
not oppose Henrry W. Williams, the
Radical candidate for Supreme Judge,
because he was born in Connecticut;
we go beyond that fact and inquire
whether he is a citizen of Pennsylva
nia, and whether, as such, he believes
in Pennsylvania laws and institutions.
Our inquiry in this regard results in
this: We find Mr. Williams to be a
Yankee in political opinions and op
posed to the theory of our State Con
stitution. He believes in that vague
and uncertain doctrine, "the higher
law," and, therefore, is unfit to sit as
an arbiter of questions arising under
the fundamental law of the State. His
; notions of "higher law" might at any
time lead I)iin to substitute his own
I opinions in the stead of the State Con
stitution. A person holding such views
is a Pennsylvanian only in name; he is
a New England political transcendent
alist; a restless, malignant reformer,
who is unwilling to hold fast that
which is good, but advocates "pro
gress," though he stupidly progresses
backward, like a miserable crab, and
succeeds only in disturbing and destroy
ing civil society. In order to show
that 3lr. Williams is really this sort of
man, we give the following, which
comes to us as having been first pub
• lished by the Salem (Mass.) Journal:
"The nomination of Judge Williams
for theSupremeCourt, in Pennsylvania,
by the Radical Republicans, is another
acknowledgment on the part of the stolid
Dutch elements of the superiority of Xeio
England men. Judge Williams is a
native of Connecticut, and received his
early training in the higher law doc
trines of our section. We have been
reliably informed that he has in nowise
apostatized from his fathers or the true
principles governing the rightsof man,
but that he steadfastly retains his af
fection for New England institutions.
Those are the sort of men whom we
love to see elevated to power in the
Dutch Middle States and over the half
civilized people of the West. They
constitute the ark of safety for the mater
ial interests of our section, and in no in
stance, where money can effect anything,
should the people of New England be
sparing of their means in securing the
nomination and election of such men as
Judge Williams.
"Pennsylvania—poor, ignorant, stu
pid,old Dutch state—regardless of the
hissing of copperheads, is now pretty
thoroughly 'Yankeeized.' Thaddeus
Stevens, a native of Vermont, and a
man true to his faith, holds the political
elements of the State in the hollow of his
hand , and, on a fail ballot of the rank
and file of the party, would have been
made United States Senator. The
Superintendent of Common Schools is
by birth and education a New Englanil
er, and it is fair to persunie that the
next crop of Dutch voters witl be as com
pletely ' Van keeiz(xV as it is possible to ef
fed out of such unpromising material, j
We understand, also, that each annual
legislature is com posed of New England i
men, and that more than one-half the
present delegation in Congress are na
tives of our section, but of this we are !
not quite positive. Taking matters
on the whole, the out look in Pennsylva
nia is asfavorable for New England ideas
and supremacy as could be wished."
Reader, do you prefer a Supreme
Judge,who will decide questions of law,
according to New England Yankee no
tions, or one who will determine such
questions agreeably to the Constitution
and Laws of Pennsylvania? Your vote,
at the coming election, will be the
answer to this question.
AIJ>KESS OF THE DEMOCUATIC
ST ATE COM MITT EE.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, J
CLEARFIELD, PA., Ausjust 7, 1867. J
To the People of Pennsylvania.
The Democratic organization, devo
ted to the maintenance of its immortal
principles; conscious of its duty to
them, and to the Republic; proud of
its years, its triumphs and its heroism
in disaster, and remembering that in
the face of persecution, of official frowns,
of corrupt appliances and of successive
defeats, its numbers have steadily
increased; again presents to you its can
didate for your suffrages.
The Republican party has controlled
the government for six years and we
accuse it before you, because:
In the sacred name of Union, it has
perpetuated disunion;
In the room of the blessings of peace,
it has given us hate, discord and mis
ery ;
It has violated the plainest princi
ples of government, broken the writ
ten Constitution, and only yielded obe
dience to the behests of party ;
The people are denied the attribute
of sovereignty ; the military subverts
the civil power; generals remove gov
ernors elected by the people, and a des
potism resigns in ten States;
Congress as- nines the right to say that
negroes shall vote in Pennsylvania,
and denies to us the right to regulate
our own rule of suffrage ;
The negro, is by law, made the equal
of the white man in all public places,
and authorized to hold office and sit on
juries in the capital.
The destinies of ten States, and of ten
millions of white people therein, are,
Congress and the military power,
placed under the control of four mil
lions of blacks.
Their reckless expenditure of the pub
lic money in their conduct of the gov
ernment, in the support and organiza
tion of hundreds of thousands of idle
negroes, in the employment of hordes
of unnecessary spies and officials, and
in maintaining military power over the
submissive -muth, endangers and delays
the payment of the public debt of twen
ty-seven hundred millions of dollars—
to which the public faith is pledged;
Their gross mismanagement causes
taxation to bear heavily upon the peo
ple. In 1860, one dollar and sixty cents
per head were paid by the people thro'
the customs; in 18(5(1, fourteen dollars
per head were drawn, mainly from the
consumption and business of the poorer
classes, through the customs and inter
nal revenue. In 1860, each individual
owed two dollars and six cents of the
public debt; in 1867, each owes seven
ty-nine dollars and fifty cents thereof.
In 1800, the expenses of the govern
ment were sixty-two millions; in 1867,
the Treasury estimates them at two
hundred and twenty-five millions, in
dependent of interest on the debt, both be
ing periods of peace. Pennsylvania's
share of the public debt is two hundred
and seventy-five millions, her own
debt thirty-five and a half millions,
and her city and county indebtedness
will swell the total to four hundred
millions. Twenty-five millions annu
ally come from yourcarningstopay the
interest thereon. In ISGO, your State
government cost you four hundred
and two thousand dollars; whilst in
18GG, it cost you six hundred and sixty
nine thousand dollars;
The pressureof these exhausting bur
thens and the suicidal policy of Con
gess, have caused uncertainty and de
pression to pervade all branches of trade
and manufactures.
Our commerce is suffering, the enter
prise of our people is repressed and bu
siness interests languish;
The revenues of the government are
less than its interest and expenses, and
the financial officer foreshadows an in
crease of the public debt;
They plot the destruction of our form
of government, by destroying the inde
pendence of the Executive, attempting
to subordinate the judiciary and by
concentrating all power in the legisla
tive branch;
it ibbing tli3 people of sovereign
power, they have united it with the
government in Congress, and dealt a
fatal blow at oar liberties, for tyranny
may be as absolute in a number of po -
sons as in an individual.
Unblushing corruption stalks thro'
every department of the government
under their control.
For these and kindred wrongs we ar
raign them, and as the representative
of antagonism to each of them, we pre
sent to you our candidate for the Su
preme Bench:
GEORGE SIIA us WOOD—A Pennsylva
nian, a man of pure morals, a profound
thinker, a sound lawyer and a jurist of
national reputation. It has been the
rule of his official conduct to yield
obedience to written law, and neither
party necessity nor corrupting influ
ence can sway him from his duty to
fearlessly proclaim it.
Hisopponent, HENRY W. WILLIAMS,
is a native of Now England, and is
comparatively unknown to our people.
Prior to his nomination he was said
to be a worthy gentleman and an able
lawyer. He has accepted a nomina
tion upon a platform by which he is
pledged "TO PLACE THE SUPREME
COURT IN HARMONY WITH THE PO
LITICAL OPINIONS OP THE MAJORITY
OF THE PEOPLE." This destroys his
independence and "holds the Judge ac
countable to a political pariy for his
Construction of the law, and inevitably
tempts him to sacrifice his integrity;
to become the meanest of all creatures
—a sworn minister of justice obedient
to the dictates of politicians."
The independent and fearless judge
protects your life, your liberty and
your property. With which of these
men will you trust them ?
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA :
We call upon you to organize in ev
i ery section of the State. xYet for your-
I selves, promptly and vigorously. Wait
| for no man. The government you love
j is in danger, its great cardinal doctrines
I are daily attacked, and "treason in
peace may prove more deadly than
treason in war." Individual exertion
is the duty of every man. Canvass
your school districts. Form clubs.—
Circulate your local papers. Teach the
people. Counsel with the aged. En
courage the timid. Arouse the slug
gish. Stop talking and go to work.
The enemy are vulnerable at every
point; attack them for their misdeeds.
YOUR PRINCIPLES ARE ETERNAL
AND MUST PREVAIL.
By order of the Democratic State
! Committee.
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman.
THE Philadelphia Press is decidedly
astute. It says that the Democrats re
garded the Died Scott decision as "the
perfection of human reason," but think
it a "terrible crime for judges to be iu
accord with the political sentiment of
the age." The Pee&s and other xYboli
tion journals have always told us that
the Dred Scott decision was contrary
to "the political sentiment of the age."
If they told the truth in this regard,
how can there be any parallel between
the attitude of the Democratic party
toward that decision, and the position
in which the Abolition party are placed
in respect to the Judiciary, by the Wil
liainsport Convention? Surely the
Democratic party never, in any plat
form, demanded that any court should
decide any question of law in accord
ance with the opinions held by that
party. Democrats acquiesced in the
Dred Scott decision, because the high
est Judicial authority of the country
pronounced it to be the law. ' But they
never asked that such a decision should
be made because it would be "in accord
with the political sentiment of the
age." This is the God's truth and we
defy the Press to controvert it.
DEATH OF EX-GOV. I'OKTER.
, Ex-Governor David It. Porter died,
at his residence in J larrisburg, on the
fifth inst. Gov. Porter was a native of
I Huntingdon county, which he repre
sented in the Legislature several years,
j He was the first Governor under the
amended Constitution, and held the
| office six years. The name of David
j Tt. Porter needs no eulogy. Pennsyl
-1 vania has lost a noble son, but our loss
is, doubtless, his gain.
TIIE State election in Louisville and
j throughout Kentucky, as far as heard
from, passed quietly.' The result has
been a Rebel triumph, by a majority
; variously estimated at3O,(HK) to Go,oo<>.
I Inquirer.
We ask the attention of the Denio
' crats of Bedford county, to the peculi
arity of the language employed by the
Bedford Inquirer, in announcing a
Democratic victory. According to that
sheet Democrats are rebels. Stick a pin
| there, boys! When sly Mr. J. R. Jen
dan and other candidates 011 the Radi
cal ticket, come sneaking around to beg
your votes, you'll remember that they
are entirely too "loyal" to thank rebels
for their support.

I3ROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR
QUALITY OF THE
A M ELTLC A N WA T CII
MADE AT
WALTHAM. MASS.
The Amoriean Watch Couipauy, of VValtham,
Mass., respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura
ble, better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in struc
ture, and therefore stronger, and less likely to bo
injured than the majority of foreign watches,
which are composed of from 125 to 300 pieces,
while in an old English watch there are more than
1 00 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY,
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT, I
~ , ALTOONA. Pa., 15 Dec., 1806. (
(.rentiemeu . Ihe watches manufactured b\' you
have been in use on this railroad for several years
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watches
as part of our equipment. There are now some
three hundred of them carried on our line, and we
consider them good and reliable time-keepers.
Indeed, I have great satisfaction in saying your
watches give us less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in use on this road As
you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of
English manufacture, of acknowledged god repu
tation ; but as a class they never keep time as cor
rectly, nor have they done as good service as
yours.
In these statements I am sustained by my pred
ecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience extended ov
er a series of years.
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. WILLIAMS,
