IXMOCKITM STATE XOMIXATIOXN.
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
HON. CHARLES E. BOYLE,
of Ftyrtte County
FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL.
GEN. WELLINGTON H. ENT.
of Columbia County.
WE repeat—Andrew Johnson must
fight, rather than surrender his Consti
tutional rights at the bidding of the
packed jury now*tryinghim for. preten
ded offences. Mr. President, put in
your plea denying the competency of
the Rump Senate to try you, issue
your proclamation calling upon the peo
ple to sustain you, and all will be right.
Yield this point, and you are lost—not
only you, but the Republic.
A LEAFLET FROM THE SECRET HIS
TORY OF BEDFORD COUNTY
POLITICS.
It was a fine September morning,
in the year, 1%2, that a certain poli
tician of the town of Bedford,the first let
ters of whoso name are W. M. Hall,
might have been seen to cross Julian
na street, a few steps north of the Men
gel House, in said town, and to place
hi- hand upon the shoulder of a well
known "Copperhead," whilst ho said :
"You are right! Henceforth lam with
you. Lincoln's Emancipation Procla
mation has changed the purpose of the
war, and I will have nothing more to
do with it!" A few hours later, this
same Mr. Hall *at in his office, busily
engaged in drawing up a written re
quo.'r to a certain John Cessna, who was
then the Democratic candidate for
member of the Legislature, demanding
that the said John Cessna should either
publicly announce himself as opposed
to the Emancipation Proclamation, or
withdraw his name from the Demo
cratic ticket, at the same time threaten
ing that another Democratic candidate
would be put forward, in the event that
Cessna failed to do as he was bidden.
This written request was signed by the
said Hall and a number of other per
sons. Cessna assured the signers pri
vately that he was opposed to the E
maucipation Proclamation, and this as
surance squelched Mr. Hall. At a
Democratic Meeting in the Court
House, some time afterward, this same
man Hall came forward and publicly
acknowledged that he teas wrong in ad
vacating the prosecution of the war
and hoped that he would be forgiven
for making so sad a mistake. During
the following Spring, a meeting was
held at Fetter's School House, in Bed
ford tp., at which Hall made a speech,
in which speech he declar. d that "rath
er than give another man or another dollar
for the prosecution of the war, he would
have Pennsylvania secede from the Un
ion and cast in her fortunes with the
South !" Just about this time Mr.
Hall was it candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for member of the Leg
islature, which nomination he failed to
receive. The upshot of all this was
that at-the next election, he voted the
Republican ticket and deliberately swal
lowed all his and-Emancipation speeches
including the aufut dose he gave the peo
ple of Bedford township, at Fetter's
School tfouse, a few months previous.
And this is the fellow who calls Dem
ocrats "blind-bridledjack-asses!" This
istheereature that denounces men be
cause they cling to their traditional
love of the Constitution ! This is the
"Daniel come to judgment," who
fain would be the conscience-keeper of
the people of Bedford county ! A prop
er fellow, indeed, to teach the public
how to vote!
THE Chambersburg Repository of
last week, has the following:
HISTORY is repeating itself. Anoth
er Lyon is in the path of peace, and by
his 'side, 011 paper, are "forty-five"
valiant warriors ready to do battle for
Andrew Johnson. Bedford boasts of
this invincible Captain, and his prow
ess has been flashed by lightning to
tiie uttermost ends of the Union.—
Where this grand army has its tents
of war and its sulphurous camp-fires,
the trembling world lias not been ad
vised, but the retreats of the draft skc
daddlers in the mountain fastnesses ol
the Alleghenies are doubtless where
they are drilling for the shock of war.
They are valiant—they have their
monuments of valor, in the charred
ruins of the buildings of enrolling offi
cers, and they now pant to drink the
blood of the Senate and Congress. -
Why does not the unappreeiative John
son send the heroic Lyon tHe* long and
hogging brevets of Lieutenant General
and General, and hid him come? For
the forgetfulness of A. J. we beg the
roaring Lyon to marshal his forces,
fill their canteens and—forward march !
A pretty friend of rlie soldier, is ibis
same scribbler for the lleposi'ory! The
G. A. R. (which letters, we presume
stand for Greedy Army Rot?} may pile
up their kegs of villainous saltpetre,
and stack in tiieir Judges the arms they
have surreptitiously obtained from the
Government, with the treasonable
design of forcing the Constitutional
Executiv'eoutof the Presidential chair;
hut when brave and tried soldiers of
the Union propose to defend the Presi
dent against the attacks of such usur
pers, the Repository sneers and snarls
at them as though they were monstrous
criminals. The editor of that sheet
| forgets that Capt. Lyons and his gal
| lant boys of the twenty second cavalry,
stood many a day and many a night
between the enemy's torch and the
beautiful "Norland." Shame on such
! ingratitude! Rut nothing better can
be expected from the valiant fellow
I who once upon a time "skedaddled,"
not to the "mountain fastnesses of the
Alleghenies," but to the classic fence
corners of historical "Rutherford's
j Lane." *
PANIC FEAR AMONG THE RADICALS.
It appears from our Washington
news that some malicious or waggish
individual has been persuading the
radical that nitro-glycerine (a new
explosive agent of terrific destructivc
ness) had been sent from New York,
and placed in the basement of the Cap
itol at Washington to blow up both
houses of Congress. While Speaker
Colfax, pale with fear, was reading the
ominous message from New York,
theconscienoe-strieken radical members
gathered in knots to take counsel in
the moment of sudden danger, and
many of them left the hall in trepida
tion, before tho trembling Spaulding
could put a motion to adjourn. In
their fright they noticed that the Dem
ocratic members wereabsent in unusual
numbers, driven from the hall by fan
atic speeches, and not the fear of nitro
glycerine. The few who remained did
explode—with laughter at the expense !
of the poor radicals whom conscious
guilt had made the victims of credu
lous terror. Having deliberately viola- j
ted the laws and constitution of the
country, having established despotism
in ten States of the Union, having just
attempted to destroy a co-equal branch
of the government, it is no wonder that
they should tremble, Belshazzar-like,
at every phantom.
Rut it turns out that a suspicious j
looking package taken to the Capitol
the other day, was not nitro-glycerine (
at all, but merely some articles of luxu
ry for chevalier Forney, Secretary of
the Senate, a list of which may be
found in a forth coming volume of
miscellaneous expenditures. There
were French soaps and Night Bloom
ing Cereus for the dainty Wilson ;
Gents' Kiel Gloves (Forney's own se
lection) for the exquisite Conkling;
foreign reviewsand magazines forSnm
ner; "Old Overholts'* and Bourbon for
Yates and Chandler. Not nitro-glyeer
ine, but wines, perfumes, bergamot,
ottar of roses, the last sensation gold
pens, Wilkes' Spirit of the Times,
cork-screws, pen knives, pomade and
pocket books.
The rttdical congressmen need not
anticipate their fate and thejust anger
of the people in unmanly dread of be
ing hoisted from their seats by nitrous
explosives. Cumberers as they are,
politically, no man is criminal enough
or fool enough to crave the mean im
mortality that such a deed would con
fer. At the next election they will be
blown into political annihilation by the
wrathful breath of a deeply injured
people, more terrible than nitro-glycer
ine or any other agent of destruction
yet invented. Then will they see a
Guy Fawkes in every honest plowman,
an Orsini in every hard handed me
chanic, a Brutus in every intelligent
citizen, armed not with the stiletto of
the assassin, nor infernal engines of de
struction, but with a pellet
"Which executes a freciaaa's will,
As lightnings do the will of God."
A KUAFF. OF IIKAFTIFS.
The Radical Rebels had a meeting
in the Court House on Wednesday
night of la>t week, which was address
ed by W. M. 11all and John Cessna.
We are informed that Hall said that
the Democrats are "jack-asses with
blind bridles on, and push straight
ahead without looking to the right or
to the left." How long Is it since
Hall and Cessna belonged to this same
class of "blind-bridled jack-asses?"
Like the ostrich, they imagine that
when they stick their heads in the
sand, they can't be seen, because they
can't see. The truth U that when they
were with and of the party which they
how vilify and denounce, they were so
greedy that they gnawed through the
bits of their "blind-bridles," and be
coming unbridled in their ambition,
they "looked to the right and to the
left" and finally went to grass in the
Abolition pasture-field. This brace of
beauties can't understand how it is that
men can go straight ahead, in tin* path
of principle, without "looking to the
right or to the left." But It is the pride
and the glory of true Deiiioeiuts, that
they go iteaiyht fnein-wd and avoid the
devious windings and crooked ways of
those who turn aside for the limb-pots
of Egypt. We are not at all astonish
ed that straight-forwardness ami devo
tion to principle, are not appreciated
by such chape as Win, M. Hall and
John Cessna.
LIMPY IXT2
The dapper little chap who now
I struts about as straight as if he had a
ramrod for a back bone, but who, dur
ing the war, when a draft was to be
made, used to limp and hobble around
1 i ke a spavi ned jack-ass for fear he would
have "to go for a soldier," or, what
would have hurt his feelings just as
much, to pay for a substitute, says in
the last Inquirer , that "we (that is the
Radicals) have negroes enough in Bed
ford county who have seen service and
been honorably discharged who can
whip a division of such fellows,"
meaning the white soldiers who are ready
to sustain the President! Of course
a white-livered coward like you would
fall back on the poor negroes, who are
to be your tools! Oh ! yes! If any fight
ing is to be done for the Radical rebels,
you'll gel the "limps" again, and most
certainly the negroes will have to do
your share of it, for no white man
would so degrade himself as to become
a substitute for a fellow like you.
PARAGON'S OF CHRISTIAN' GENTLE
NESS.
The editors of the Bedford Inquirer
profess to be christian gentlemen.
They are, truly, paragons of christian
gentleness. Their several articles, last
week, contain these words as applied to
their neighbors in Bedford: "Misera
ble Cowards," "Worthless Hides,"
"Meanness and Selfishness"—"unscru
pulous Knaves"—"St ringfellows of
Border Ruffian fame"—"No Souls"—
"No Character"—"Peeksniff"-"Would
strip the dead"—"Rob the orphan of
his ccust of bread"—"Would betray
his God"—"Doomed spirits"—"Black
guard"—"Fools" "Cops" "Par
ty hacks"— I "Asses"—"Pusillanimous
Reptiles"—"Slunk away"—"Burned
Barns"—"Bah !"—"lnfamous lie"—
"Miserable, contemptible Cowards"—
"Small Fry"—"Drunken maudlin"—
"Lecherous Manikin," Ac., Ac. If this
sort of warfare is to continue, we shall
be obliged to go to the "Inquirer Book
Store" and purchase a copy of the
Fishwoman's Dictionary which is evi
dently among the "excellent hooks"
for sale at that repository of elegant
literature. There is another Book,
however, that might he of some service
to the Pharisees who talk about other
people's "piety," if they would only
read it.
THE Bedford Inquirer has the effron
tery to say that President Johnson
(whom it styles "drunken maudlin,"
boori h tailor," "lecherous manikin,"
Ac., Ac.) has "attempted to force out one
and /orcein another cabinet officer with
out the advice and"eonsent of the Ren
ate." It is hardly worthwhile to cast
the pearls of truth before such swine as
the author of the Inquirer ' article, but
for the benefit of the decent men who
read that sheet, we ask the Inquirer to
say in its next issue, whether all
Presidents who preceded Mr. Johnson,
did not remove Cabinet officers when they
chose so to do ? Did not Andrew Jack
son remove some of his Cabinet officers
and was he not sustained by the people in
so doing? Now, answer these ques
tions and let us have no dodging !-
The Constitution provides that the
President shall, "with the advice and
consent of the Senate," appoint certain
officers, among which members of the
cabinet are included ; but it does not
say that he shall ask the consent of the
Senate when he decides to remove such
officers. The Act of congress of 1789,
which is unrepealed to this day, settles
this matter in the most explicit man
ner. Now, President Johnson sent
his appointment of Mr. Ewing as Sec
retary of War to the Senate for confir
mation, as all other appointments have
always been sent, and that body can
reject Mr. Ewing whenever it pleases.
Therefore, he has not attempted to
force any body into his cabinet "with
out the advice and consent of the Sen
ate." The Inquirer simply and flatly
lies. As to the appointment of Gen.
Thomas, every body but the ignor
amuses of the Inquirer, knows that he
was only to act as Secretary of War
ad interim, (he being the Adjutant
General of the Army) that is, until the
President and the Senate could agree
upon the appointment of a permanent
Secretary.
IF..HO('RATII' STATE COWKMIOX.
This body met at Harrisburg, on the
Ith inst., and did its work in an emi
nently harmonious and proper manner.
The nominees for State offices, are both

lint year, affcl is universally acknowl
edged to be a strictly honest, as well
as very able man. Gen. W. H. Ent, of

spotless. Ills name is a household word
with the hard-fighting Pennsylvania
Reserves,whom he led in manyabloody

should be pondered by oyery thinking

The Democrats of Napier tp., have
nominated an excellent ticket for twp.
officers, and every Democrat in the
township should make it a point to go
| to the election 011 Friday, 20th inst.,
and vote the whole ticket. The Radi
; cal tricksters are busy iu trying to sow
; the seeds of dissension in this gallant
! old township. Their latest dodge is to
set the Democrats by the parson a local
j question in regard to the schools of the
township. John Cessna boasted the
other day that "Napier would be put
through." Democrats of glorious old
Napier ! Be 011 the alert and show
the tricksters who are trying to destroy
you, that they "are reckoning without
! their host." Turn out to the election and
; give the Radicals such a defeat as will
! teach them hereafter to mind their
! own business and to let yours alone.
THE PHARISEES !
There is no reason why a man should
| make a black-guard of himself, because
I he desires the success of his party!—
; First editorial column of last week's In
quirer.
"Pusillanimous reptiles," "miserable
contemptible cowards," "cowardly
tricksters," "skedaddlers," "Cupper-
Johnson," "copperhead," "barn-burn
ings," "cops," "Bah!" "Drunken
Maudlin," "boorish tailor of Tennes
see," "lecherous manikin,"etc. — Second
and third columns of last week's Inquir
er.
Judging from these "specimen
bricks," there must be some reason
"why a man should make a blackguard
of himself" who "desires the success
of" the Radical party !
There are some men who have
hitherto acted with the Radical party,
whom conscience tells that Radicalism
is wrong and that they ought to dis
card it. In fact, they say as much to
Democrats. But they hunt around for
something to smother the outcries of
conscience, and they are willing to
accept any thing, imthis line, no mat
ter how ridiculous, that isolfered them
by Radical politicians. They know
that their party is perpetrating outra
ges unheard of in all the history of
politics, but when John Cessna tells a
story about "butting a bull oft' a
bridge," or some other leader of their
party, yells "Copperhead" at them, or
when they read the flimsy lies of the
Bedford Inquirer , they think, "Oh!
well, if a poor excuse answers for oth
ers it will answer for us!" not remem
bering that they will some day them
selves be called upon to give an account
of every unjust act they perform and
to suffer for every instance in which
they set conscience at naught.
"The Dutch have taken Holland a
gain." The Radicals have carried New
Hampshire by about their usual ma
jority—perhaps a little less than last
year. New Hampshire is joined to her
idols.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON', March 5.
SENATE. —After disposing of some
unimportant business the resolution
in relation to the issue of tickets for the
galleries during impeachment was tak
en up, but the expiration of the morn
ing hour cut short the debate, and
Legislative and Executive business
was ordered to cease for the purpose
of attending to the.businessof impeach
ment.
Court of Impeachment.
At the expiration of the morning
hour the Chief Justice and attendants
entered the Senate. The President
pro tern, vacated his chair, and the
Chief Justice advanced up the aisle,
clad in his official robe, assisted by r.
Pomeroy, Chairman of the Committee,
with Judge Nelson, of the Supreme
Court, on his right, .he Chief Jus
tice having ascended to the President's
chair, said, "Senators, in obedience to
notice, I have appeared to join with
you in forming a court of impeach
ment for the trial of tho President of
the United States, and I am now ready
to take the oath." The following oath
was then administered to the Chief
Justice by Judge Nelson: "I do sol
emnly swear that in all things apper
taining to the trial of the impeachment
of Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States. 1 will do impartial jus
tice, according to the Constitution and
laws, so help me God." The Chief
Justice then said : "Senators, the oath
will now be administered to the Sena
tors as they will be called by the Sec
retary in succession." The Secretary
called the roll, each Senator advancing
in turn and taking the oath pre
scribed in the rules. When the name
of Senator Wade was called, the ques
tion was put whether he, being the
person who would succeed to the Presi
dential office, was entitled to sit as a
judge. The question was argued at
considerable length by Messrs. Hend
ricks, Sherman, Johnson and others.
The Court, at half-past four, adjourned,
without deciding the question,
HOUSE.—In the House Mr. Eliot in
troduced a bill providing that in ease
the office of Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court becomes vacant from any
cause, the same shall devolve on the
Associate Justice of such Court whose
commision is senior in time, until
another appointment shall be duly
made. After disposing of some unim
portant business the consideration of
the case of Mr, Sutler, member elect
from Tennessee, wes resumed. After
considerable discussion the matter was
recommitted to the Committee- on
Elections. A bill was passed appoint
ing managers of the National Asylum
for disabled soldiers, and authorizing
the Secretary of War to furnish ord
nance for tiring salutes, and equip
ments for guard duty to the asylums.
The House then adjourned.
—The cotton spinners and weavei*
employed in the mills at Fall River,
Mass., on the 2d inst., struck for higher
wages. The mill owners refused to
accede to their demands, and stop
ped their mills. As a consequence,
over five thousand persons are out of
employment.
DEMOCRATIC STATE C'OJfTEXTIOS.
Harrisburg, March 4.
The Convention met at noon in the
hall of the House of Representatives,
the Legislature having adjourned ov
er. The delegates were seated in front
of the Speaker's chair, arranged in ac
cordance with their Congressional ap
portionment. In the rear of the dele
gates was a dense mass of outsiders,
comprising Democrats from every part
of the State, and the crowd extended
through the rotunda and out to the
steps of the Capitol, while every win
dow and doorway was. crowded with
interested spectators. At twelve o
clock, amid profound quiet, Colonel
Wallace called the Convention to or
der.
The list of delegates was called by
Secretary Brown, of Harrisburg. A
full roll answered.
At the opening of the proceedings
Hon. W. A. Wallace, Chairman of
State Central Committee,addressed the
convention in an able and eloquent
speech, which was received with rounds
of applause.
At the conclusion of Colonel Wal
lace's stirring address, Hon. S. E. An
cona nominated Hon. Win. M. Randall,
of Schuylkill county, as temporary
chairman. The nomination was unan
imously approved.
On taking the chair, Mr Randall ad
dressed the convention at some length,
setting forth the duties of the' Democ
racy in this national emergency and
counselling, in the strongest terms, the
selection of the very best men—men
whose public and private reputations
are spotless, and beyond the reach of
fault finding. Mr. Randall's remarks
were received with immense enthusi
asm, and that they were forcible and
convincing is shown by the fact that
his suggestions were adopted to the
letter, and men selected as standard
hearers, who can go before the people
of the .State, claiming their entire con
fidence.
At the afternoon session the commit
tee on permanent organization re
ported the following as officers of the

Mr. Hopkins, upon taking the chair,
was loudly applauded.
Mr. Deise, of Clinton, and General
McCandless, of Philadelphia, by special
request, addressed the convention, and
were followed by Hon. W. Hopkins,
the present chairman, in a neat, short
speech.
Mr. Cassidy, from the Committee on
Resolutions, presented the following,
which were adopted amid the most
vociferous applause:
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the happiness of the
people and the preservation of our
power as a Republic depend upon the
perpetuity of the Union and the pres
ervation of the Constitution, and the
prompt restoration of each and all of
the States to the enjoyment of their
rights and functions in the Union, is
essential to our progress, our prosperi
ty, and the protection of our liberties,
and Radical legislation is theonly barri
er thereto.
Resolved , That tlie Constitution of
the United States is the supreme law ;
it is binding upon the people and up
pon every department of the Govern
ment, and it is the highest duty of
those in and out of official place to yield
implicit obedience to all its provisions,
until It is changed in the manner pro
vided therein. That the recent at tempts
of the Legislative branch of the Gov
ernment to usurp the office of the Ex
ecutive, and to destroy the indepen
dence of the Judiciary, are deliberate
attacks upon the plainest provisions of
the Constitution, in utter violation of
its spirit, and tend to the overthrow of
the Government itself.
Resolved , That the Radicals in Con
gress have wrung from the people e
normous sums of money, which they
have squandered in reckless extrava
gance ; that their system of revenue is
ill devised, incongruous, and inequita
hle; that rigid economy in every
branch of the public service, a decrease
in the number of officials, a reduction
in the army and navy, and reform in
the collection of the revenue are im
peratively demanded. Only by this!
means can a reduction in the amount I
of taxation now imposed 011 theindus-;
trial and manufacturing interests be;
attained, and the payment of our in- j
dehtedness be assured.
Resolved, That the Republican party j
is responsible to the country for the!
delay in the restoration of the South
ern States to their just relations in the i
Union, and for the government of their !
people by military rule ; that the pur
pose of these measures is to perpetuate
Radical power through the votes of il
literate negroes.
Resolved , That in enacting the Ten- j
ure of Office law the Legislative and j
Executive branihes of the Govern-;
incut, each for itself, had a right to
judge of its constitutionality, and that
in thus exercising the right the Execu
tive was duly complying with that
portion of his oath of office which re-;
quired him to preserve, protect, and |
defend the Constitution of the I nited
States; and that it is the right of every
branch of the Government, and of ev-1
cry citizen, to have questions involv-;
ing the constitutionality of any law
speedily adjudged by the Supreme'
Court of the United States, and the
right of the people to have said decis
ions enforced.
Resolved , That the pending impeach
ment of the President ot the United j
Slates is a gross and reckless abuse of
partizan power, without justifiable
cause, and is intended for the attain
ment of party purposes at the sacrifice
of the most vital iuterests of the coun
try.
Resolved, That a return to# a specie
paying basis at the earliest practicable
moment is essential to the interests < f
the people and prosperity of the na
tion.
Resolved , That the national debt
should be paid as rapidly as is consis
tent with the terms of the laws upon
which the several loans are baskd.
Resolved , That the five-twenty bonds
I and the legal tender notes are compo
nent parts of the same financial sys
tem, and until the Government is able
to redeem the legal tenders in coin, the
| holders of these bonds should be re
quired to receive legal tenders in pay
ment.
Resolved , That every species of prop
| erty should bear its proportion of tax
ation and that the exemption of Gov
ernment bonds therefrom is unjust and
| inequitable.
Resolved , That we recognize with e
motions of deepest gratitude 11• e ef
forts of the gallant volunteer soldiers
| who so freely took up arms to protect
the flag and preserve the Union, and
we denounce as unjust to them, the ef
forts of the Radicals to prevent a res
j toration of the Union until negro su-
I premacy is established in certain States,
j and negro equality made the rule in all.
Resolved , That the naturalization of
foreign born citizens places them on
the same footing as those born in this
country, and it is the duty of the Gov
ernment to see that all the citizens,
naturalized and native, are protected in
I the rights of life, liberty, and proper
| ty, abroad as well as at, home, and that
! in the view of the Democracy the flag
of the country ought and mu*t be
made to protect all our citizens.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot for a candidate for Auditor Gen
eral. On the third ballot Hon.
Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette, receiving
a majority of votes, was declared the
successful .candidate, his nomination
being subsequently made unanimous.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot for a candidate for Surveyor
General, the choice in the second ballot
falling upon that gallant solder, Gen
eral Wellington 11. Ent, of Columbia
county. His nomination was also
| made unanimous.
Last in order came the election of
delegatesat large, resulting in theehoice
of
Hon. George W. Woodward,
| Hon. Asa Packer,
I Hon. Win. Bigler,
! Hon. W. E. Hiester,
I whose election was also made unani
i
mous.
Hon. W. A. Wallace was by accla
mation re-elected Chairman of the

DKMOKEST'S MODEL MOXTII
Ludics never weary of praising this
Magazine for its beauty and usefulness,
lis patterns are worth mure than the
price of each number, and, with the
admirable models furnished by its
illustrations, are invaluable to ladies
living in the country. We do not
know much about the "Household"
and other exclusively feminine depart
ments, except that housekeepers think
everything of them, but we do know
that the reading matter is varied and
unexceptionable, and that, altogether,
it is as welcome a visitant as can be
found in the parlor or family circle.—
Price, 8:5.00 per year, with a handsome
premium. Send for a circular.—\\ .
