BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MARCH 9, 1866.
FOR GOVERNOR.
GEN. JOHN W. GEARY.
OUR STANDARD BEARER.
We have received the gratifying intelli
gence that that tried Statesman and genuine
soldier, Major General John W. Geary, of
Cumberland County has received the nomi
nation for Governor of this Commonwealth.
The action of the Convention meets our
hearty approval, and we enter the contest
with unusual ardor, feeling that in General
Geary, we have a candidate who combines
all the elements essential to success. The
campaign opens auspiciously and the Lnion
party true to their promises, and consistent
with their former professions, have with
•singular unanimity rallied around those,
•vho rallied for the Union, in its great strug
gle for existence, and constitutional liberty.
In view of the stirring events through
which we are now passing in our transition
from a Stateof revolution to a period of peace
and looking to the treason of the past, and
the treachery of the present, we feel proud
that in this trying crisis, we have one who
never bowed to the slave power, or yielded
to the blandishments of traitors. Such a
man is Gen. Geary.
He has won bright laurels both in the
cabinet and in the field. From being a
Lieutenant he progressed to be a Major
General, and from the plain surveyor and
engineer, he is now a prominent candidate
for Governor of this Commonwealth—the
-econd in point of wealth and population in
the Union. The great secret of his success
is to be found in his industry, perseverance,
constancy and virtue. He has fought the
"battle of life" onmanya hardly contested
field, and he can to day point to a record
without a stain or a blot to mar its beauty.
His splendid recoi d upon the fields of Mexico
caused President Polk to appoint him Post
Master at San Francisco,believing that he
was capable of organizing that branch of the
public service. Once in California, his abili
ties were quickly recognized and rewarded
by his elettion to the office of First Alcalde,
and then being unanimouslv chosen first
Mayor of San Francisco. The name of Gen.
Geary is identified with many of the stirring
events in that land of adventure, and the
annals of California furnish many evidences
of his activity and success, in shaping that
policy which has given the "Golden State"
that distinction she now possesses.
The record of Gen. Geary in the present
war, is that of a successful chieftain, afford
ing a fruitful theme for the historian and
the brilliant adornment of many a page of
military glory. There is not a soldier in
the Republic, thai does not feel the blood
of patriotism stir within him, at the recital
of the blood stained fields, on which he in
common with our soldier candidate contended
against the hosts of treason. For Gen. Geary
our State should poll at least thirty thousand
majority. What say you vets? A voice
like that of the mighty deep, comes rolling
from the plains of the North, meeting the
swelling chorus sweeping from the boscftn of
the lakes, and commingling with the rap
turous shouts of freemen from the East, and
proclaims in majesty, that the people of this
noble Commonwealth, the land of Penn,
and the birthplace of American Liberty, are
determined to stand by their Country's De
fenders.
THE COPPERHEAD STATE CON
VENTION.
The result of the Copperhead State Con
vention, which assembled in Harrisburg on
Monday, is known in every city in the Com
monwealth. Hon. Heister Clymer, bom
and bred a Whig, according to the strictest
tenets of that ever glorious party, but who
went into decay and Democracy at the disso
lution of that organization, was nominated
for Governor. We are completely and fully
satisfied with this nomination, because it is
not of an equivocal character, as Senator
Clymer has a record. He is perhaps, to
day, the soundest Democrat in the country.
He was among the fint apologists of seces
sion—the last disapprover of rebellion. In
his official capacity, as a Senator, he voted
for ail the strong subterfuges of his party
to embrarrass the Government in the effort
to crush rebellion, and against all the im
portant measures deemed necessary success
fully to combat and defeat treason. In Berks
county, where organized copperheadism
openly vindicated the justice of organized
rebellion, Mr. Clymer was looked up to as a
copperhead leader. If he did not eneour
age resistance to the draft, he denounced
the unconstitutionality of the conscription
laws. If he hesitated himself in question
ing the right of the Government to put
down rebellion by the force of arms, he ap
plauded those who aided and defended reb
els as having done no wrong. When it be
came necessary to put the State in a condi
tion of defence—when traitors threw off
their disguise and proclaimed their purpose
to invade the North—Senator Clymer was
among those who considered the measure
precipitate, as calculated to irritate the peo
ple of the South. In fact, we may safely
write, that Senator Clymer was among the
best friends the avowed traitors had in the
North. He was their faithful ally until
such alliance involved personal danger.
When he could no longer approve and de
fend treason, he resorted to the subterfuges
of his clique to carp at the Government, to
exagerate its vigor and denounce it as bru
tality— to depreciate its humanity and ridi
cule it as cowardice. These are Senator Cly
mer' s political qualities—on the force of
these he was nominated—and on the odium
of these we expect to procure his defeat by
the people with such a majority as was nev
er cast against any man in Pennsylvania.
CABINET rumors are still in circulation but
they have mere foundation in the eager
hopes of the Copperheads, than in truth.
One of the rumors is that Simon Cameron
has asked for the position of Secretary of
War, premising his support as a considera
tion, to the administration. In the mean
time, the same Cabinet that was left by the
lamented Lincoln hold the seals of office.
Without expressing confidence in all of
them, it may be safely assumed that as long
as Stanton, Harlan and Att'y Gen. Speed,
remain the Constitutional advisers of the
President, there is no danger of his going
over to the Copperheads.
A THREAT.
Mr. Garrett Davis is a Senator af the Uni
ted States from Kentucky, sent there by
such of the Democrats of that State as did
not go into the rebel army. He has been
the most violent of Copperhead, outdoing
even Saulsbttry of Delaware, who should long
ago have been expelled. Mr. Davis in the
debate the other day, finding that Congress
could not be bullied or cajoled from its posi
tion in regard to the admission of represen
tatives from Southern States, used the fol
lowing treasonable language as found in the
Saturday's telegraph report. Mr. Davis
said.
That the Southern Senators abd those who
were in favor of receiving them in the Sen
ate constituted a majority of the whole num
ber of Senators. If these two wanted the
President could communicate with them or
the constitutional body, and by the Eternal!
he M ould ail vise him to do it to-morrow. He
would be clearly right in doing so. He
would sooner trust the Southern Senators as
the friends of the country than those who
were for keeping them out, The President
had the remedy in his hands and ought to
use it. There was no plainer principle of
law than that the President would have the
right in case the Southern 'Senators came
here and went into session with those who
were in favor of admitting them to decide
whether it was or was not the Constitutional
Senate.
Treasonable as the sentiment here avowed
is, it will be re-echoed by the copperhead
press, throughout the country. It may be
that such a purpose as indicated above is
cherished and that this Senator Was put
forward to feel the way. It is said that Sen
ator Cowen favors such a proposition,
fraught as it with disaster and wo. If he
should support it, bold as he is, he will find
Pennsylvania too hot to hold him. And if
any vulgar imitator of Napoleon and Crom
well should attempt to put these canons of
statesmanship into practice, he will find the
Tarpeian rock a little nearer the city of
Washington than it is generally supposed
to be. The people are jp no humor to be
trifled with.
THE COPPERHEAD NOMINATION.
The telegraph brings us the news that
Heister Clymer. was nominated on Monday
by the Copperhead Convention assembled
in Harrisburg. for Governor. Mr. Clymer
has been a member of the Pennsylvania
Senate throughout the war. and has signali
zed his legislative career by voting and
speaking on every occasion that offered,
against the Government in its efforts to put
down the slave-holder's rebellion. Such a
nomination was naturally to be expected
from them. Nothing can better exhibit the
unrepentant, uncbastened temper of the
Copperhead party. After passing resolu
tions of fulsome flattery of the President of
the United States, they have nominated a
candidate, who denounced Andrew John
'son in violent terms, when his friends asked
for him the poor privilege of addressing
the Pennsylvania Legislature in behalf of
the Union. We find room for the following
extract from the speech of Mr. Clymer in
the Senate on that occasion. In view of
passing events the speech of the Copperhead
candidate deserves perusal:
"What is the question presented? It is
a proposition to invite Andrew Johnson,
the so-called Governor of Tennessee, to ad
dress the people of Pennsylvania from the
Senate chamber of this State. I have vari
ous reasons for opposing this proposition.
In the first place, I here boldly proclaim
that he is not, at this hour, and never has
been by the Constitution or under the laws,
the Governor of the State of Tennessee,
except when years ago he was elected to
that office by the people. I say, sir, that
his appointment by the President of the
United States to that position, was a usur
pation of power on the part of the Presi
dent, and that there is no warrant under
the Constitution, no authority in the laws
for his appointment And that very act
which he has assumed to perform by virtue
of his unconstitutional and illegal appoint
ment, has been in derogation of the rights
of a sovereign State and in flat violation of
the Constitution of the United States. I
say, sir, f'uthermore, that no such position
as military Governor of a State is known to
the Constitution of the United States; that
there is nothing in that instrument which
authorizos the President of the United
States to appoint a military Governor of any-
State, and that to make such an appoint
ment was to create the State of Tennessee
a military province, and that s his appoint
ment was made to carry out and subserve
the purposes of the present Admiuietra
i tion, which Is to reduce all the States of
this Union to the condition of mere depen
dencies of a consolidated oligarchy or des
potism. That is my position, so far as con
cerns this pretended Governor of Tennes
see. Adrew Johnson has not been for
years, and is not now the Governor of that
State; and I will never recognize him as
such by voting for this resolution. But, sir.
without regard to any question of his official
position, take Andrew Johnson as an indi
vidual. assuming that he is rightfully cloth
ed with the robes of office, ana may consti
tutionally exercise the duties of that high
posidoh; even then I say" to you, Mr.
Speaker, that I never, by my vote, will al
low a man to come into these halls and from
this place speak to the people of this great
State in support of what 1 know to be ille
gal, unconstitutional and tyrannical acts of
the Federal Government. I know, sir, that
Andrew Sohnson has gone as far as the far
thest, and is ready to go still farther, to de
stroy, to uproot, to upturn every principle
upon which this great and good Govern
ment of ours was founded. I know that he
has bent with suppliant knee before the
throne of power. I know that, for pelf or
some other consideration, he has succumbed
to every measure presented to him for ap
proval or disapproval; and I know that in
speeehes delivered capital of other
States he has enunciated doctrines which,
if adopted by the people of the great North
would be subversive of individual freedom
and personal right Sir, by no vote of
mine can aoy person holding such views
address the people of Pennsylvania in this
chamber. Never, sir, never, so long as I
have a right to forbid him.
Again :
"But, in this particular case, I have my
distinct personal and general reasons for
voting agamst hearing Andrew Johnson in
these halls. They may not be satisfactory
to others; they are, sir, to myself and they
will he to those whom I represent. Sir. I
do not recognize Andrew Johnson as the
Governor of Tennessee. I say that he as
sumes that title without warrant of the
Constitution, or warrant under the laws of
the United States. I say that his appoint
ment to conduct the affairs of the State of
Tennessee, was but a portion of that gener
al system by which it is attempted to con
solidate this Government and make it one
great machine to be wielded by the power
of ONI! MAN."
THE Boston Journal remarks that the let
ter of Governor Cox, communicating an
authentic statement ot the President's poli
cy, leaves no reason why Mr. Johnson and
Congress cannot cc-operate in the great
work 0} pacification.
THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
Some of our readers will doubtless ask
why we do not publish the President's
speech of the 22nd, of" Feb. The true ver
sion we with the whole country are ashamed
of, and we know that our readers will not
thank us for publishing as the President's
speech a liaethed up report of things the
President never said. The following state
ment in regard to the speech is made by the
correspondent of the Boston Daily Adver
tiser.
"Three versions of President Johnson's
speech were given to the public,—one re
ported verbatim, one toned down in some of
its harshest points by a reporter, and one
revised by thoaPresident himself. It is rath
er amusing as well as instructive to note the
differences between these reports. Taking,
for example* the last sentence of the speech
the following were the exact words of the
President, printed in papers as widely dif
ferent in opinion and character as our own
and the New York Daily News:—
"When our country is gone, if you are a
bout that place, look out and you will find
the humble individual who now stands be
fore you weeping over its final dissolution."
The following is the same passage after
going through the "toning down" process
at the hands of a judicious reporter, and as
telegraphed to the New York Times, the
Boston Journal, and to about half the papers
of the country: —
'■l thank you for the respect you have
manifested to me upon this occasion, and if
the time shall come during the period of my
existence when this country is to be destroy
ed, and the Government overturned, if you
will look out you will find the humble indi
vidual who stands before you there with you
endeavoring to avert its final destruction."
The peroration as revised by the President
himself, and as printed by the entire South
ern press, is as follows: —
"Accept my thanks, gentlemen, for the
indulgence you have given me in my extem
poraneous remarks. Let us go on, forget
ting the past and looking only upon the
future, and trusting in Him that can con
trol all that is on high and here below, and
hoping that hereafter our Union will be re
stored; and that we will have peace on earth
and good will towards men.
"The President then retired, amid a
storm of applause and congratulations."
With differences in the text so radical as
these, —which are quite as marked in other
portions of the discourse, —it is not surpris
ing that the comments on the speech should
be of a varied character.
It is worth noting that the allusion to
'dead ducks' appears in all the published re
ports."
WHO VOTED FOR IT.
Four members of the Cabinet—Messrs.
Seward. Dennison, Mc Culloch, and Wells—
voted in favor of the Veto Message, and
three —Messrs. Stanton, Harlan, and Speed
—opposed it. Mc Culloch is a Democrat,
and was never anything else: Seward's mor
al obliquity and utter untrustworthinass have
been well known for five years. He under
stands the art of concealing truth with lan
guage, but not the more simple and infinit
ly higher one of being an honest and patriot
ic man. As for Messrs. Dennison and Wel
les. having little reputation to lose they suf
fer only to a limited extent.
When the bill came up again in the Sen
ate on the quastioH—Shall it pass, notwith
standing the President's Veto?— Messrs.
Cowan, of Penna.; Dixon, of Conn.; Dooiit
tle, of Wisconsin: Morgan of New York;
Norton, of Minuesota; Stewart of Nevada;
and Willey, of West Virginia, all elected as
Republicans, voted nay. It is gratifying to
know that not one of them all will go hack
to the seats they have dishonorod. Cowan,
the first of the list, has not a corporal's
guard of supporters in the whole State of
Pennsylvania. The Copperheads may use
but they thoroughly despise him, while no
Union man would touch him with a pole.
WASHINGTON REPORTS.
Our private advices from Washington all
concur that the President's demonstration
at the theatre on the 22d instant, was most
indecent and disreputable. The volunteer
counsel of the assassins of President Lincoln
were head actors in the performance.
Wretches who deplored the escape of the
Vice President from the knife of the assas
sin were there to applaud. Berret, the ex-
Mayor of Washington, who was in Fort La-
Fayette; one man who was in the old capitoj
on suspicion of being one of the assassins;
every one of the leading secessionists; and
their feliows of high and low degree were all
on the side of the President. Mr. Thomas
B. Florence was Master of Ceremonies, and
the tickets of admission to the theatre bore
his signature—a name, in the judgment of
all republicans saved from being infamous
only by being contemptible.
The speech of the President at the White
House, in its matter and surroundings, ap
palled the Conservatives. They telegraph
ed to Mr. Seward, at New York, to take
care and not commit himself, and this ex
plains why his speech was tame, spiritless,
and in part incoherent. —Pittsburgh Gazette
THE PRESIDENT'S EXPLANATION.
e publish on our first page the letter of
J. D. Cox, of Ohio written in explanotion
of the veto message, by the consent of the
President As a matter of course every
one will read it for himself. It is unfortu
nate that a message from the President
should need explanation, it ought to ex
plain itself. If the President had made
the statements in his message that he
authorizes Mr. Cox to make, it would have
saved hi* from a great amount of severe
criticism and his friends from mortification.
To be sure the rebs and cops would have
been deprived of a good deal of jolification.
As it is the President has elicited a pretty
free expression of opinion, from those who
placed him in the Presidential chair. An
expression by die way that requires no let
ters of explanation to define its meaning.
RESOLUTION PASSED.
The concurrent resolution in relation to
the adfnission of the States lately in rebel
lion, has passed both branches of Congress.
As it is a joint resolution it does not, fortu
nately, require the signature of the Presi
dent, who would have taken great pleasure
in intervening with his veto, if we may
judge by his action on the Freedman's Bill.
The following is the resolution:
Be it Resolved by the llonsc oj Represen
tatives, the Senate concurring. That in Ol
der to cause agitation do in a question which
seems likely to disturb the action of the
(government, as well as to quiet the uncer
tainty which is agitating the minds of people
of the eleven States which have been de
clared to be in insurrection, no Senator or
representative, shall be admitted into either
branch of Congress from any of said States
until Congress shall have declared said States
entitled to such representation.
THE MANNER OK THE PRESIDENT'S SI'IKCH
—We have had a variety of editions of the
President's speech from the steps of the
White House, and a still greater variety of
comments upon it from all sources., hut
hitherto we have had no account of the man
ner of its delivery and reception, except
what could be gathered from the bald reports
of the stenographers, The Washington
correspondent of the Worcester Spy, who
says he stood in the portico close behind the
President throughout, supplies the want.
Of the aufiience he savs:—
"linmeiiately in front I counted over two
hundred confederate jackets. I have seen
the dirty Arb in the battle smoke or on the
march too often to be mistaken now."
After minutely describing Mr. Johnson's
personal jtresence, the writer proceeds as
follows: k
■'His vtfce is clear, harsh, powerful and
penetrating When he seertie spalling with
most excitfljneut he is evidently the coolest
man in the world. I watched him with the
awakened interest of one who felt the magni
tude of'thecrisis the speaking was creating,
and am convinced that all he said was weigh
ed and measured, and meant to bring about
certain results. When the tumult of ap
plause which greeted his strongest denuncia
tion and most virulent attack was surging
around, those cold eyes and that crafty smile
could be seen calculating the entire scene
and its acoeisorie."
PARSON BK<VNLOW DEFINES HLS POSI
TION. —The last number of the Knoxville
Whig, printed before the news of the veto
or of the speech, contains an editorial in an
swer to questions as to the position of the
paper on the ijuestious of the day. Gover
nor Brownlow says lie fully indorses Andrew
Johnson's policy, as developed by him when
Military Governor of Tennessee, but as to
his present policy neither the Whig nor "the
loyal and true men of Tennessee" are ready
to indorse it till they know precisely what it is
The closing lines of the article however place
the views of the writer in a very clear light:
"If he intends to pardon and turn loose
upon the country all the had men that led
off in this rebellion; or if he intends to recon
struct the late rotten democratic party, and
to force upou Congress the rebel delegates
talking treason, and boasting of what they
did to destroy the government, we are not
with him nor are the true men of the nation
If he holds to the principles of the Balti
more platform, upon which himself and Mr.
Lincoln were nominated, we are with him.
If he Las crawled off of that platform, we
will not go off with him, nor will the loyal
men of the country."
THE FENIANS. —Our exchanges are stil
filled with accounts of Fenean meetings, for
the delivery of Ireland. An immense meet
ing was held last Sunday in Jones' Woods,
A. Y. One hundred thousands persons are
said to have been present. Arch-Bishop
Ilnghes issued an order against the meeting
on that day. which seems to have been dis
obeyed, if there is any correctness in the
statement concerning the immense numbers
present.
THE FELL MOON. — The circumstance
that there was no full moon in February this
year, was mentioned a few days ago. The
statement sn the article that 1 it is said astro
nomical computation shows that this result
has not occurred before and will probably not
occur, again which was copied from an ex
change, involved an error. A February
without a full Wioon, though rare may come
more than once in an ordinary lifetime.
IT is positively asserted that SENIOR Wal
lace had written a letter to Gen. Meade, re
questing him to accept the nomination of the
copperhead party for Governor, and Gen.
Meade peremptorily declined the proffered
honor, and intimated to Mr. Wallace that
he was the friend of Gen. Jno. W. Geary.
\Y ill Mr. V allace give the letter to the pub
lic?
THE Pittsburg Gazette, speaking of the
strikes at the rolling mills there, says:
'•The iron manufacturers held a meeting
yesterday and resolved not to resume work
until their pen would accept the reduced
schedule of wages. The workmen seem
equally determined, many of them having
already gone to work at such employment
as they can find, while others are casting
about for something to do."
THE Washington Star says Mrs. Jane G.
fcwi:-shelm was dismissed from her position
as clerk in the Quartermaster General's
Office on Monday, by the Quartermaster
General, with the approval of the Secretary
of V :ir, for disrespectful language against
the Preside at of the United States in Satur
day's edition of the newspaper which she
edits-— The RecwutTuetionnt.
EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. —Ma-
jor General Howard, Commissioner of
Freedmen's Affairs, has received a number
ol telegrams from assistant commissioners
in the so-called restored States. They rep
resent'that the veto is hailed by the ene
miss of the Government with much jubila
tion and enthusiasm; and that they had be
come troublesome. Also, that disorders
and outrages are increasing. They state,
generally, that civilian agents of the bureau
are paralyzed, and request the commissioner
to detailj as agents, true and tried officers
of the I nion army. The freedmen, since
the announcment that Government protec
tion is to be wiilidrawn, are uneasy, and
disposed to leave the States. Every loyal
man finds that he cannot expect sympathy
from the Government, and expresses the
hope that Congress will remain firm in its
resolve, strengthen their hands, and dis
comfit the traitors, who now predict that
they will dictate to the north.
ANOTHER WITNESS FROM THE SOUTH.—
A \\ ashington correspondent says that Gen
eral Grant's most trusted aid. Colonel Eli
Parker, the Indian chief, has just returned
from a pmonged tour through the South,
and thus reports his experience there:—
"He, wemnghis uniform was struck by
the redundint professions ofloyal submission
winch everywhere greeted him. These
were so frequent as at last to excite his sus
picions. lie clothed himself in citizen's
garb, and thereafter passed as a member of
the Choctav nation, well known to the South
as a rich, veil educated, and intensely pro
slavery trile of the Southwest. This dis
guise unloosed the latchstrings of their se
cret thougits, and thereafter he heard not
one loyal wird except when in pursuance of
his duty he was with our own officers. The
most malignant disloyalty, the most vindic
tive hatred the fiercest, though suppressed
detenninatbn to bide their time, yet wreak
revenge, was everywhere made visible to
the man t hose color and stated relation
made theui confident of sympathy.',
A despatch from Cincinnati states that
the number of lives lost by sinking of the
steamboat Nannie Byers will not exceed
twenty.
The lowt Legislature according to des
patches received in Washington, has appro
ved the acton of the majority in Congress
by an overwhelming majority.
A VIVACIOUS DESCRIPTION,— Even the
present political crisis has its comic aspect.
Tie Norwich Bulletin has discovered it and
speaks as follows of the Hartford Times and
other democratic papers:—
' ;r fhey wriggle and twist with delight.
The Hartford Times, whose subsistence for
the past five years has been on funeral baked
meats, bobs around the arena in perfect
ecstaey of pleasure. It slaps the President
on the back, calls him 'Glorious old Andy,'
says he is a tower of strength against the
assaults of disunionists,' calls on the people
to rally round him," and pirouettes about
him us though he was a long lost brother, left
in bis infancy on a desolate island, but now
discovered and recognized and identified by
the wart on his elbow and the elegant voice
he has for whiskey. The Times acts like
an elephant that's been taking chloroform.
Who cares for broken crockery when fun like
this is going on?"
NEW VERSION OF A FAMILIAR ADAGE.—
Mr. S. S. Cox, in his speech at Washington
on the 22d. gave a new version of the familiar
saying. "Scrape a Russian "and you will
find a Tartar. ' "When a man has "once
been a democrat," says Mr. Cox, "his demo
cracy shows out all over like the small pox.''
We admire both the profound truth of the
saying and the exceeding beauty and fitness
of the simile.
THE NEW YORK TIMES AND ITS POLICY.
—A New York correspondent of the Spring
field Republican gives the following little
story, which is perhaps worth reproducing:
"A joke is going round certain circles at
the expense of Henry J. Raymond, which
is too good to be kept private. Report has
it that Mr. Ganson, an cxmember of Con
gress from the Buffalo district, the other
day introduced Mr. Raymond to Ex-Gover
nor Parker of New Jersey, who is, as every
body knows, a pro-slaverv democrat. ,Ah,
says Judge P., 'l'm very glad to make Mr.
Raymond's acquaintance. I take the Times
because I like to see both sides.' 'Yes,'
says Ganson, and you get both sides in the
Times,'
