"Itetolced, 13y the Senate and House oi Repre sentatives of the United States of VmerUa, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following article be propose d to tho Legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution ot the United States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Lee.statures, shall lie valid as a part of the Constitution, namely: "ARTfCCK —, Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in tho United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizers of ' the United States. Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal pvntection ot the laws. Section 3. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their res pective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not tax ed; but whenover the right to vote at any election for electors of President aDd Vice-President, or for United States Representatives in Congress, executive and. judicial officers, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is defied to any of tho male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the T nitcd States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representa tion therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of sucu male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in that State. "Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, elector of President and Vice-President or hold any office, civil or military under the U. S., or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to snp port the Constitution of the United States, shall nave engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof: hut Congress may, by a vote of two-third 3 of each House remove such disability. "£eefion 4. The validity of the public deb* of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for service in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned, but neither the United . tatcs nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrec tion or rebellion against tho United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave, but all such debts, obligations, and claims shall be held illegal and void." THE UNION PARTY vs. TIIE PRES IDENT. It is sometimes asked by the unsophistica ted or hypocritical why docs the Union party oppose the President? That, tho President long ago deserted the Union party, repudiated its platform and his own former words and deeds and cast himself into the arms of the copperheads and rebels is too plain a proposition to admit of a doubt, or require an argument for its demonstration. A more pertinent question is why do they direct their main force against the President and not against the Copperhead party. To ask is to answer in this ease also. The Cop perhead party without the assistance of the President and the use of the public patron age is so utterly incapable of making a res pectable contest that the alliance with the President is the only hope of keeping up its organization. All hope, that the rebels and copperheads have of restoration to po litical power centres in the President. It is, therefore, the business and duty of the Uuion party to expose the perfidy of the President, to de monstrate his complicity with rebels and traitors, to warn the people against his hyp ocritical professions of loyalty and to appose him and his policy as the bulwark of rebel and copperhead hopes. Andy Johnson demolished, and coppcrheadism falls to the ground a hopeless, helpless, unwieldy ma-s of treason and corruption, so disgusting to all true men that they will shun it as a pesti lence. It is Andy Johnson and his policy that have warmed into life once more the spirit of rebellion, that have winked at the persecution of Union men throughout the South, that have aided and abetted the in discriminate massacre of Union men at New Orleans and arrested and imprisoned the loyal Governor of Louisiana and placed in authority over him a pardoned rebel. It is Andy Johnson with his satellites that now essays to unite the copperheads of the North with the unrepentant rebels of the South in the Philadelphia Convention and thence to inaugurate a crusade throughout the North against the very men wno through the fearful struggle of five long years pre- our national integrity. It is through the assistance of Andy Johnson that the Southern rebels hope to inaugurate a civil war in the North and to deluge our own peaceful, happy homesjwith fraternal blood, as already openly declared by various South ern papers and reiterated by their copper .liead allies in the North, [t is through the connivance of Andy Johnson that Union blood has flowed like water in the streets of New Orleans and remains to-day unavenged. It is through the coi nivance of Andy John son that the attempt was made to massacre a portion of the Union men attending the Convention at York, Pennsylvania. With facta such as these staring us in the face, who can donbt the necessity for a determin ed effort of all loyal men by word and deed iu every lawful way to oppose the President's Policy. A policy, whose only and legitimate result will bo to restore to authority with increased power and privilege the men who - two short years ago were leaders in the effort 'estroy our Union, whose hands are yet rocking with the blood of our brethren and who still defiantly declare that they are ready to precipitate upon the country another ci\ il war for ihe purpose of establishing Southern supremacy. Such facts as these roust sot*. •• the mo t incredulous that in a determined opposition to and thorough defeat of Andy Johnson and his policy, as the head and front of the tripartite coalition ot copper heads, doughfaces and rebels, is our only hope of future pcaje, prosperity and happi ness. _ _ ... . _ Tg 'i. Thc Secretary of the Radical county ( oncention. has not yet dared to make any exolarration of the manner in which Col. Filler w;c counted out of the nomination. Is the matter inexplicable? — Gazette, Aug. 10. The Secretary, that our complaisant co euiporary refers to above, ami to whom ho has referred frequently lately, in uls o\cr anxiety to irritate a sensitiveness which he supposes might have annoyed Col. Filler, who was unsuccessful in his Legislative aspirations, left the county a few daysaftea the Convention, and has located in Balti more. Maryland, lie, of course, does not see the G (i&cttc, and is, then fore, unaware of the awkward position in which this self consritutod vindicator of the rights of gen tlemen who are before the public for office, With equal claims and unsuccessful, would place hnu. No one has felt sufficient itilci est in the aosurd statements of the Get -< tte -to explain that Col. Filler received a less number of votes than Capt. Stuckey, and was consequently not declared nominated. It was thought that even the editor of the Gazette might comprehend this ; however, since it appears that he does not, we will try- to relieve his obtuseness, by giving him to understand that if Col. Filler had receiv ed all the votes on the second ballot that he received on the first, with several additional, without any ot those who voted for him on the first ballot deserting him, he would have been nominated, but here is where the secret lies. The vote was taken rica voce, and the tallies of the President of the Con vention ami others corresponded fully with the votes announced by the Secretary. It is not our business to say who transferred their votes from Col. Filler to Capt. Stuck ey ; it is enough for us to know that it was done. Will the Gazette now in return for the information which we have given be kind enough to tell us who defeated WILLIAM KEVSEB, who teas a candidal' before the last Copperhead county Convention for SheriJJ ? Do tell us. PERHAPS MIT SHANNON COULD TELL. It might he possible that Thomas Reighard and severed others, icho were candidates, would Vice to know who beat them. Please explain. DO. LION. WM. 11. KOONTZ. The counties comprising the 16th Con gressional District have unanimously decla red in favor of Hon. Wm. 11. Koontz as the candidate of the Republican Party, for this distinguished position. This is an honor of which any individual might be proud. It is a just tribute to one of our best men. This action of the entire district obviates the necessity for a conference, and we place his name at our mast-head accor dingly. We have every assurance that the General will carry the district by at least one thousand majority. If Mr. Sharpc has sought the nomination with the expectation of being elected, his friends should at once undeceive him. There is no more prospect for him than there would be for B. F. Mey ers, or O. E. Shannon, or any other repre sentative man of the Copperhead Party who has served the rebels long and well. The man who claimed to he a supporter of the Government, during the rebellion, and at same time acted with that Party, particu larly if he were a man of character and standing, and controlled its organization, will be held equally responsible with rive who resisted the measures for the overthrow I of the rebellion, as Mr. Sharpe will learn before the close of the canvass. The last Repository has the following comment upon the action of Franklin coun- "THE official declaration ot the Union men of Franklin county in favor of the re-nomi nation of Gen. Wm. H. Koontz as the Un ion candidate for Congress, obviates the necessity for a conference, and we according ly place his name in the list of Union nomi nees. '•His voluntary re-nomination by the united voice of the Union Party of the district is indeed a rare compliment, and it clearly fore shadows the fixed determination of the loyal men to elect him by a triumphant majority, lie is a faithful, industrious and in all res pects, a most creditable representative, and he well merits the high distinction the party ha-: conferred upon him." The Gettysburg Star speaks thus in regard to the action of Adams county : '•Hon. "WM. H. KOONTZ, of Somerset, was nominated by acclamation for Congress, and the nomination, no donbt, will be ratified by the district Conference, the other coun ties having already declared in his favor. We need say nothing in regard to Gen. KOONTZ. He is known throughout tho dis trict as a man of marked ability, high-toned and honest. He was fairly elected two years ago to the same position, but through intrigue and conspiracy he was kept out of his seat 11111.11 n few wecLo before the adjournment of Congress. We congratulate our citizens, as well as Gen. KOONTZ, upon his re-nomina tion. Let either McSherry. Sharpe or Cot froth be pitted against him and the result will be the same. The outraged citizens of the district will have a chance to vindicate justice and administer a scathing rebuke to the advo cates of treason, and the defenders of deser ters, and our district will once more be repre sented by a gentleman, a scholar and a loyal man." fzjjrThe old-fashioned caricature of Brother Jonathan, with pigeon tailed coat, too short in the waist, sleeves hardly passing the elbows, and pantaloons scarcely forming a connexion between waist coat and hoot tops, formed a picture well calculated to excite one's risibilities. But if some happy delineator of comicalities would give us an illustration of the desperate exertions of the modern Democracy to compress the conti nental proportions of the United States of 1866, into the narrow limits of the unamend ed Constitution of 1789, the Brother Jona than of ancient days Would be cast entire ly iu the shade. Won't the Comic Artist of Harper's Weekly try his hand? I£ir"Thc elements composing the Phila delphia Convention now in session, consists of rebels Copperheads, and Place Hunters. Soldiers and those who supported the gov ernment during the rebellion, do not not mingle in the miserable conglomeration.

Why there wasn't over a decent number of the deser ters out. Alas. Poor Clvmer ! these sig nificant signs of the times must be most embarrassing. ______ Tat organs of the Copperhead party are very much coaecfued in regard to the iuture of the Negro. These jealous creatures ap pear to fear that under the judicious control of the philanthropists of the country the poor Negro will supercede them in the affections of tho people. It may be even so. And if the Negro should come out a little ahead in the race of the next generation the Copperheads will not have very far to go to adapt themselves to a system of sla very. They have been down to it politically long aift. The Negro will not bo a harder master fe> them,, we feel confident, than their southern masters have been for years. At present, wc must confess, the prospect for the Copperheads is not any too good, and if we were betting characters, we would feel disposed to bet ; on the Afri can. INO (U.ASIN'J —Copperhead thirst for the blood of loyal men. Emulating the exam ple of their prototypes, the New Orleans rebels, the Copperheads of York county embraced the occasion of the late Union Soldier's Convention at York, as a favorable opportunity, to try their hands at mobbing and murdering Union men. The Cops did their best, but there were too many of the hoys who wore the blue in attendance, who soon compelled them to skedaddle. Though no one was killed, several persons were se verely wounded, The Cops lacked not the will ; the power alone was wanting to re enact the massaere of New Orleans. Is the reign of terror, threatened by the Cop per-Johnsons and rebels to be inaugurated already ? Union men beware! Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, always and everywhere ! is a genuine flag, not the Stars and Bars, but the Stars and Stripes,elevated over the wigwam in which the Philadelphia Convention is holding its sessions. This is certainly a great concession to the few orig inal Johnson men in attendance. It is a notorious fact that many of the Con federate delegates have not had the morti fication of seeing one for the last four or five years, save in the hands of the cursed Yankees, and it is, therefore, a great con cession to meet voluntarily beneath its folds. It is equally as notorious that the Copper heads refused to display the aforesaid ban ner during the rebellion unless the potent argument of a lamp-post was introduced in the background. Truly, the world does move ! E®r-At the time of the adoption of the present Constitution, Uncle Sam was ten years old. Ten of the twelve amendments, added previous to the rebellion were made pi the same year that it was adopted, one in 1794 and the other in 1803. Since then it has not been amended. What would be thought of the mother who would under take to clothe her full grown son in the habiliamenta of a ten year old. Yet old mother Democracy, in her dotage, would keep Uncle Sam in his manhood in the bib and tucker of his youthful tenyeais. Who can wonder that there are vents in the old garment- that sadly need repairing ? But Grandmother Democracy keeps vehemently Crying the Constitution as it is if it kills the boy. ON the oatsjde of this paper will be found a lengthy correspondence of an eye witness of the late horrible massacre in new Orleans. Since putting the article in type we have received the address of Governor Wells, of Louisiana, which fully confirms the report which wi publish. Since then we have also received a correspondence of an eye witness to the New York Times which is still more elaborate than the statements of the writer in question. All fix the responsibility of the riot and massacre upon the late rebels. It was a preconcerted movement to murder all the Uniou men in the city. Philadelphia Convention has but one main object, the establishmud <,f o parti/ which will consolidate aU Ilit i?bcl element at the South and to divide tin North ; AND BY A r NIT in Soi'TIT AND A DIVIDED NORTH TO UCI.E THE COUNTRY. Citizens of the Northern States, are you prepared for such a state of affairs ? The rebels and Copperheads unite on these grounds. Will you stand idly ly and see traitors and their allies rule the country ? THK latest evidence of returning reason that it has been our pleasure to witness, is a letter from Hon James M. Scovil, Senator froui the Camden district, to Hon. Marcus L. Ward, Governor of New Jersey, asking him to convene the Legislature for the pur pose of ratifying the Constitutional Amend ment. We hope the Governor will adopt his suggestion, and New Jersey will retrieve herself from all the odium that was formerly heaped upon her for stupidity. fta?" The Copperheads attacked the car in which Governor Curtin and Gen. John W. Geary were returning from the great Union Soldier demonstration at York. In the car were a number of women and children. Such is the spirit that controls the part}' with which the Republicans have to con tend. Oh degenerate Democracy, where, oh where is your once boasted liberality. 1 here appears to be only a remnant of the once mighty party left and that is no longer Democracy but Mob-ocracy. The allied Copperheads and rebels have gained a splendid victory in Kentucky, fhe Confederate flag floats in triumph once more over the "dark and bloody ground." Citizens of Pennsylvania, the same flag is prepared for you should you so far forget your dutyJo the eountary as to permit the allied forces to gain a victory. Give them another Gettysburg! ; '■ —=r- A NEW REBELLION I'ROJBCTED.

It is said that the Copperhead candidates for Congress have been promised all the patron age in their districts by the President.

About tickets had been sold at Harrisburg to per son? who coniemplated visiting the Geary meeting in this place and some fifteen-hun dred passengers came to York, the reuiain der having absented themselves on account of the unpropitious weather. Thirty three ears were hitched to.The excursion train. On returning homo in the evening, before the tarin had started, a few stones were thrown, near King s tavern, and it was whispered that the passengers were to be assaulted at some point niong the road. On this intimation the strangers,picked stones frora the gondolas, and partially prepared themselves for what subsequently ensued. Some minutes later the train pulled out . and when the last car had Hun beyouu the car shop aforementioned, a volley of stones were tired from the riotous crowd of Yorkers and Walter lluby, of this borough, who had been employed on the extra police, and who is about twenty years old,discharged at the rear car, from a revolver, six shots, one of which took effect in the sholder of a strati gcr. whose name we have not learned. At the same time a groat many stones were thrown at the train by persons who were concealed in an adjacent corn field. The ear. whi h had been under a good head, came to a bait, and many passengers dismounted to seek revenge; but the crowd, including many women and children was so dense that it was impossible for strangers to distinguish friends from foes. Ruby fled, and although pursued, made his escape.—Daniel Piatts, however, was less fortunate, one of the ex cursionists having struck him with a stone above his eyes making an incision which led profusely. Platte is about 2f> years oi l. No other persons were injured seriously, but several of the oars were damaged materially. The intense excitement did not subside for n considerable time.

Komtz and others. A • pontaufcop* meeting' of the loy d n. ir of Allegheny city was held on fast Thursday evening, the 9th inst., which, though not * anticipated to be one of importance, assum ed the shape of a great Mass Meeting. Two of the principal speakers were Col. Jordan of this place and Hon. Wm. H. Koontz our able and efficient representative in "Congress. We find the -following synopses of their speeches in the Comn\crcta!: Colonel Frank Jordan, of Bedferd county, Chairman of the Republican Union Execu tive Committee of Pennsylvania was the first speaker. He said that to the' Superfi cial observer of men and things it might he supposed that after a hard fought war and the sufferings : t entailed, wo were entitled to rest from our labor for a season at least, and let the machinery of the Federal Gov ernment take care of itself, as we had be lieved when the war ended that it was fully capable of doing. For the common idea was that the issues of the war had been set tli d forever with the overthrow of the re hellion, and yet in all this we found our selves sadly deceived, and the adage that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," was brought home to oar understanding more forcibly than ever.* He alluded to the election of President Lincoln, to which, unfortunately for the country at large, a factious minority were not willing to submit, although they were compelled to admit its legality, and tiiey took an appeal from the decision of the people, and by the sword at tempted to sustain it. In 18o>>, those same men adopted in Convention at Cincinnati the Virginia resolutions, which embodied the dogma of State rights, and reasserted them when the late President was_ announced as the chosen ruler of the nation. War fol lowed, and the Democratic party found it self allied to the South, compelled to go with the South in its crusade against the government, or trample upon its action in Cincinnati. The result was a split in that party, for there were those in it who loved the country more than party, and these ral lied to the side of the Union and the Con stitution. The others followed the fate of the Sefies-ioni.ts, and found themselves ignominionsly beaten at last. If any issue was adjudicated by the power of the sword in the war it was the dogma of State rights. But the Democratic party, aided by the or iginal framers of that political heresy, were engaged in an effort to resusitate it, and if the campaign should by any accident result in the success of the Demo cratic party, he had no hesitation in predict ing that the great fight would have to be fought over again, no matter what was sac rificed by it. The Blairs said that if the rebel States were not admitted into the Union, war would be inevitable in the North. He believed that we had had enough of war and its consequences, hut at the same time he was unwilling to yield up his principles, because they were the foun dation stones upon which the Government was erected, and without which it could not be maintained. [Cheers, j The men with whom Blair affiliated were the enemies of the Government. They were the infamous Wood, of New York, Yallandighaui, of Ohio, Cl.vmcr of this State, and others of a similar ilk. These men were going into Convention at Philadelphia in a few days, to resume their crusade against the nation's 1 life, but he felt no uneasiness over it for he was confident that sueces awaited the Union party in this State and in the Union. He devoted some time to reviewing the political apo tacy of President Johnson, and presen ted n statement of the terms upon which the Federal Congress would consent to re admit the rebel States into the Union. Its I*>!icy differed from the President'.®, because one was right and the other wrong* The rebel leaders broke faith with the Govern menf when they went out of the Union, and were nt to be trusted aeair until they had shown fruits meet for repentance. Their s wa a sorry loyalty, and would not stand the test. The terms prescribed by Congress were :u once honorable and liberal. We have enlarged our liberty, and we most en large our Constitution, by incorporating some of these terms : and the first Was. that for all future time, every man horn on our soil L a free man, and entitled to his rights as such, without distinction as to color. (Cheers.) Another one was to prohibit a rebel casting more votes than a loyal man. FtiJl another was that the leading intelligent rebels cf the South shall be punished and their treason made odious; and yet another wa that the war debt of the loyal north shall he paid to the uttermost farthing, and the debt of the rebel South repudiated and declare ! void. These terms were such as every pure patriot could accept without a single murmur, and the rebels would have to fake them or stay out in the cold. . t There terras, too, were essential to the -u'ety and permanent welfare of the national government. We had the right to ejrac-t the e of the South, and these only would open the door of the Union to them. Colonel Jordan here removed his coat, and proceeded to discuss the Gubernatorial ques tion. He reviewed the record of Senator Clymer, and' contrasted it with the perils and sacrifices made by Gen. Geary for the Union. His allusions to tho latter were frequently applauded, and at the close of his 'remark* the crowd gave him throe hearty cheers. SPEECH OK iJENHKAL KOONTZ. Hop. William H Koont'/. lteprosentative in fVn£ros from the 16th District in this Ftate, was the next speaker. He remarked that it was dne to himself to say that lie had not anticipated being requested to address his Allegheny county friends ou this occa sion, and he scarcely felt prepared to do so for his time had been greatly engrossed in contesting with Mr. Uoffroth, a seat in the lower House of Congress. Btill he felt a degr • of pride seldom experienced, in standing up before the -people of this ban ner county of the State, to speak to theui about the great questions of the day. They were loyal to the very eore, and he felt im bued with the principles of tho Union party on an occasion like this, but his remarks would nPCc '-urily bo brief. He deemed the present contest the most important one in the his'ory ot the nation. When the war desolated tho land, and we preset ted (lie singular spectacle here at the North ot a broken people divided upon the question as as to whether we should sustain the n itional life or not ; then he th tight that was the gravest struggle in which we could engage, but he felt hound to say that the present crisis was far move important. We could not discuss the issues which nowf 0 painfully divides the people, without recurring to the dark and gloomy past. The questions we arc now to decide have sprung out of the late war. whereas they should have been settled with it. The loyal men of the North met at Baltimore and resolved before (fed and the world that rebellion should go down at any cost. Tho foes of the Union gathered at Chicago and declared the war a miserable failure. What a contrast! Upon that issue the people appealed to the ballot box ami the decision was that the Union must and shall be preserved. (Cheers.) Thanks to our noble Generals and their gallant com rades in the field, as well as our brave blue jackets upon the wavo, the fight was nobly waged, and under their repeated sturdy blows, rebellion went down in utter disgrace and ignominy. We believed then that the power of the Federal Government was to be made use of in establishing liberty and jus tice within our borders. President Johnson said "treason must be made odious," and we looked to see him make good his express ed purposes in this particular. But who has heard of any leading rebel being pun ished for the great crime committed against the nation. President Johnson seems to have entirely forgotten that the element of i justice enters into the administration of Governmental affairs in this land. What ;do we see V These rebel leaders seeking to i instate themselves again to power.

Then of the late war, and rallied to the suppmt of their martyred I/tneoln. He believed that we should come out of the present con fliet the victors. In conclusion he oppos .1 the policy of President Johnson, and urged the Union men of Allegheny county to stand true to their principles. Soliloquy oe a Tennessee Unionist. ' Oh, President Andrew Johnson! you penned the sentiment on our banners, 'that treason ought to be made odious'-what treason did you mean? We poor Unionists stoo l by you when the proud dames of Na hville crossed the street and avoided meeting you, as if you were struck with the leprosy—when even the children sneered as you passed, because you were a Union man —we thought you meant treason to the United States. Under your leadership we were summoned to this fight—did you let us in the fore front to he crushed? Well we owe it to God and ourselves that we have found out one thing, that this Govern ment is in the hand of no one man, or half a dozeu men.—lts foundations are in the heart of a great people. The Richmond Enquirer admits that "that class at the South who claim to he 'Union men' in a peculiar sense, with much unanimity are throwing themselves into the arms of the Radicals and against the Presi dent. This is a candid confession that the division of sentiment which existed in the rebel States during the war is still maintain ed, Andrew Johnson receiving the support of the men who adhered to the fortunes of Jefferson Davis, and the policy of Congress beiug favored by the loyalists who sustained Abraham Lincoln.
