'•Jlrnotrat, By the Senate and Huu. o of Repre sentatives of the United States of Algeri a, in Congre..- a.-sewbled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following article he proposed to the Legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Legislatures, shall bo valid as a part of the Constitution, namely: "ARTICLE —, Section I. All persons born or naturalized in tho United States, and subject to tho 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 eilizcr* of the United States. Nor # diall 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 protection of the la ws. Section 3. Representatives shall be apportioned auteng the several States according to lb res pective numbers, counting the whole nil tuber of persons in each State, excluding Indians net t;ix ed; but whenever the richt to voto ot any c lee tit; u for electors of President and Vice-President, or for United States Representatives in Congress, executive and judicial officers, ot t.bc member of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United Htatcs, or in any way abridged, except fur participation in rebellion or other crime, tlio basis of representa tion therein shall be reduced in the proportion which tho number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizei,.- 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.

"RESTORING REBELS TO POM EU." So long have we, "a - occasional readers of the Bedford Gazette, patiently endured its gross perversion of facts, its specious, Jes uitical reasoning, and its frequent, and ludi crous attempts to make the wrong appear the better reason, that we generally let pass unheeded, the mass of absurdities and exploded theories with which its columns weekly teemed. But, gentle reader, have you ever observed, with what an air of affected piety, the complacent Editor of the Gazette, clothed in the garments of charity, surreptitiously taken from some meek disci ple, imitating his prototype mentioned in the fable, and full of pity, tenderness and compassion, humbly begs that the insurgent States of the South, whose people, as he assures us, have become submissive, shall be admitted into the Union, and have all their former rights immediately restored? Hear him, when no doubt, in deepest sinceri ty and anxious solicitude.hc asks the question, "Now when repentant rebels get down upon their knees and ask to be allowed to discharge the duties of citizens, are we to say they shall not be permitted ?" Now this story of "repcuiant rebels'' getting "down upon their knees," must certainly be a Iroax, at least we of no such instance. We do learn, however, from this same veracious sheet, that at the Philadelphia Convention, the band, forget ful that they were almost within the shadow of the Ilall of Independence, were willing to subsidize our beautiful national airs to the tune "of Dixie, so popular with rebels during the war," and that that reconstruct ed, white washed traitor, James L. Orr, of •South Carolina, entered the wigwam arm in-arm, with the notorious Gen. Couch, whom Massachusetts, last autumn, discarded by forty-five thousand majority. This is one example of contrite submission. But let the author of the address of the "Na tioual Union Party," the "Little Villain," Raymond, tell his own story, lie speaks by the book, and his imperious words arc invested with more than regal authority. He says, "The ten millions of Americans wholivo in the South would be unworthy citizens of a free eoun'ry. degenerate sons of an heroic aucc-try, if they could accept with t tncomplaiaing submmiic„< <, the HP.MIMATIoxs thus sought to Lo imposed ujK>n them." Does this look like "repent ant rebels" getting down upon their kr.ee- ? Oh, no, you knew voh falsified, when you spoke of "defeat submission," But can there be any doubt but that these rebels are unfit to be clothed with more than their former power, a demand which they con stantly press upon the Executive. Let the remembrance of the last five years of sari guinaxy strife and heroie endeavor on the part of our brave soldiery admonish us. Let the battle fields of the rebellion smoking with the hot blood of patriots poured out I like rain, be a perpetual reminder, and a never-ceasing remonstrance. The bones of our sons and brothers mingling with every soil, and mouldering hard by Andersonville and Belle Island, should teach usj that these arch friends of treason, and bloody conspir ators, are not to be trusted, much less to be ! taken within the sacred embrace of loyal men. Does the Qjxzctu remember Memphis, or has it f'orjd&t the reoent hloodj' tragedy j enacted at New Orleans T The Gazette | appeals to Christians, and prates about All this is well, hut why doeMfrti flit'toil its readers, that at the New Orleans massacre, plotted by rebels, i and sanctioned in its hellish accomplish ments by the President, that a meek and i holy mini.-ter of Christ, a member of the | Methodist communion, undone who feared j tied, and lAred his country, while standing in the doorway; and paring "I beseech you not to fire, for these men are innocent," that this holy man of God, was shot down j by rebel ruffians and beaten to death with j clubs by rebel i>oliee.

Let their past record,stain ed and blackened with arguments in defense of the great crime of human slavery, be their eternal condemnation. A SIGNIFICANT SHEET. The tiue spirit by which tho managers of the Philadelphia 14th of August Conven tion are actuated, though for tho most part skillfully disguised in its platform of priiio pks, crops out quite prominently in a num ber of places in the address to tho people.. Platforms of political parties, especially the Copperhead, are often equivocal or silent upon important questions : in such eases an address,to the people is generally accepted ns the con truction which the party nuts upon its own platform, and its deliverances on-object-not mentioned in the platform are always accepted as the voice of the party. What significance then must he attached to the following section of the Copper Johnson Rebel address : "We call upon you, therefore, by every consideration of your own dignity and safe ty, and in the name of liberty throughout the world, to complete the work of restoration and peace which the President of the United States has so well begun, and which the poli cy adopted and the principles asserted by the j,"resent Congress alone obstruct. "The time is clo e at haud v h u members of a new Congress are to be elected. If that Congress shall perpetuate this policy, and by excluding loyal States and people from repre sentation-ill its halls, shall continue the usur pation by which the legislative powers of ihe Government are now exercised, common pru ffisc&nffltt'/' °h sullen irithidrawal from the dude: and obligations of the Federal Gov ernment,, internal distention and a general collision of sentiments and pretensions which may renew, in a still more fearful shape, the civil war from which we have just emerged." Hero we liavc a direct threat of a renewal of the civil war from which we have just emerged, in a stili more fearful shape, by a party who arrogate for themselves a far greater degree of loyalty and love for the Union than the true Union party, which successfully delivered us from the destruc tion then attempted by these same rebels and rebel sympathizers. What are we to think of a political party that by thus threatening a .'renewal of all the horrors of civil war in c ase the people see proper to sustain Congress instead of the President, undertakes to drive the whole country into the adoption of a policy calculated to defeat every object lor which, through four long agonizing years the blood and treasure of our people, were poured out like water. Here is exhibited the genuine rebel spirit rampant as ever. A rule or ruin policy that ignores the Democratic principle that the majority shall rule, always has been the course of the rebels, who in this instance at least seem to have taken charge of the convention. What think you, loyal men, of the party, that thus at its very inception undertakes to carry its measures, not by fair argument and appeal to the intelligence of the people, but by intimidation and threats of civil war ? Is it to be entrusted with the conducting of a government of a free people ? "MY rOI.ICY" FORESHADOWED. Our attention has been called" to a portion of the prophecies of Daniel, says the Har ri-burg T< legraph , as foreshadowing, thou sands of years ago, the faithlessness destined to interfere for a time, with the final triumph of free government and principles of equality among men on earth. Since the President has impiously telegraphically asserted that the finger of Providence was discernable in the deliberations of the Reb ci-Johnsonites at Philadelphia, it is only right to inform him that one of God's ser vants drew Andy Accidenoy's character most graphically, and foretells his doom surety, in the following prediction. We quote from Daniel 8 : 23, 24 and 25 : 'And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power -. and he shall destroy wonder fully. yndshall prosper, and practice and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. "Aral through ins roucY, At.so, he shali, < .USE CRAFT TO IT.OSI'ER IX HIS I AND ; and he \ -halt magnify himself in his heart, and by \ peace shall destroy many ; he shall also stand I'M/ the Prince of Princes.

Instead of 25,000 Democratic ma jority as stated last week, Kentucky gives us nearlv -50,0002 Pennsylvania will follow the footsteps of the State of Henry Clay.— Ga zette, Aug. 24. Hardly ! There were not as many DEM OCRATS in the rebel army from Pennsylvania, however much they may have desired to be there, as there were from Kentucky. Ihe rebel armies have all been disbanded and the rank file have returned to their homes and they now " vole as they shot Wc are immensely pleased to know that the Gazette calls these Confederates " DEMOCRATS. " We insisted all the time of the rebellion tha t they were, that they belonged to the Gazette's party and that the Gazette in turn belonged to their party, but it swore most lustily that it wasn't so. Now the truth conies out! Had the rebellion been successful, as the rebels have been in Kentuekey, the Gazette would have defined its position long ago. Its editor WAS A I.ONG TIME IN DOUBT AS TO WHICH PARTY WOULD WIN, and when it became appar ent that Uncle Samuel was in a lair w§y to succeed he threw up his hat and shouted for the old gentleman until he was hoarse. He is now willing to do the same for the rebels. WHO DEFEATED WILUAK REYSEB? The Garotte persists in saying that the votes which were cast for Col. Filler were 'tallied/or another," and that the Secretary who made the tallies is not to*blame. Ibis may be all very clear to the Gazette , hut we are compelled to admit that wc cannot com prehend it. We heard the vote on the oc casion alluded to, and we are quite sure that we announced the result before the Secreta ry did. and when the announcement was made, it confirmed our report. But the Gazette movc3 forward a peg and thinks that "the fraud upon Col. Filler is cast into the shade by the trickery which was used to floor Capt. Stuckcy in the Republican Leg islative Conference." We do not hesitate to admit that the nominations of Mr. Stutz ir.an and Mr. Richards defeated Captain Stuekey. If Capt. Stuckcy had been nomi nated, his nomination would have defeated one or the other of these gentlemen. Capt. Stuckcy and his friends understood this matter at the time and were therefore in favor of the, defeat of one or the other of the gentlemen named. "Friend Benjamin," you can't make any votes off of Capt. Stucky and his friends in your favor against Mr. Stutzman. The vail is too thin! Who defeated William Iveyser? MONTGOMERY BLAIR. It is said that one of the Blairs is to be up here on Dext Monday night to address the Copperhead meeting. We suppose it is the same braggadocia, Montgomery, who doled out a speech at Reading to the Copperhead fizzle which came off there some weeks ago. Mrs. Fremont expressed the best opinion of this weathercock that it has been our lot to hear. While Gen. Fremont was in command of the Department west of the Mississippi the Biairs were his inveterate enemies. It was considerable of an annoyance. Mrs. Fre mont came down to Washington to see Mr. view with the President, in the presence 0* old Blair and Montgomery, old Blair took upon himself to lecture Mrs. Fremont, thus: "You had better go home Mrs. Fremont and take care of your household duties, and leave the affairs of the nation to tis ; here we make and unmake men !" Here Mrs. Fremont broke in with, casting a withering glance at Montgomery,"/ have seen some men of your make, and if you can't do any better than that I would advise you to quit the business." A NEW RADICALISM. The liberal sprinkling of Rebels in the Philadelphia Convention seems to have bolstered up the courage of the Chicago surrender party considerably. From cow ardly appeals for peace at any juice in 1804, they have advanced by rebel aid in ISGG to a "staud and deliver" policy, that smacks strongly of the Jack Sheppard style of ar gument. This is nothing new among the rebels, they have been practicing it foryears and just now their northern lacqueys seem to he apt students of the plantation style of ratiocination. In consideration of the cool ness with which they threaten to inaugurate a new and more terrible rebellion in case they fail in their appeal to the ballot box. the most fitting title they could have adop ted for their bantling would have been the Radical Rebel-Union party. TIIE FREEDMAN'S BUREAU. This is a favorite theme of our Copper perhead cotemporaries. They gather up all the details in regard to the working of this institution and peddle them out in a garbled state, so as to make it odious, with a peculiar sort ot gusto that expresses the highest sat isfaction. In our issue of a week or two ago wo published a letter irom Major Frank Holsingcr, well known to many of our citi zens, who says in reply to these sneers and misrepresentations: "I WAS IN CHARGE OF A DISTRICT EMBRAC ING SEVEN COUNTIES, FOR THREE MONTHS AND A HALF. AND DU RING THAT TIME I NEVER ISSUED A RATION OR AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING OF ANY KIND. MY IN STRUCTIONS WERE TO MAKE MY DISTRICT SELF-SUSTAINING.'" AS ISSI'I.T TO UEN. OK ANT. The President made arrangements to re ceive the Committee appointed by the Wilkes Booth Convention, which assembled in Phila delphia, on the 14th instant, to carry to liiin an authorized report of the proceedings of that gagged and hand cuffed body, he then sent hastily for General Grant, and the General thinking that he had some important business, repaired to the Executive mansion, and was just in time to stand aside and hear the Johnsons speak a piece. The I resident knows Gen, (.rant s seutiments, and this miserable little trick was an insult. The Copperhead papers set up a shout that Gen. Grant stood by when the addresses were delivered and signified his approval. This trick shows the character of Andy Johnson ! )ur people will remember that the I nion Convention of Southern Loyalists as sembles in Philadelphia ou next Monday and will be one of the largest bodies which has ever assembled on the continent. Large delegations will be in attendance from every State in the Union. Every body that can attend should do so. Half price tickets will be issued on all the railroads. THE DISFRANCHISING ACT DISREGARDED! The Copperhead Sheriff o! Hertford County refuses to incorporate the preamble and four sections of the act Disfranchising Deser ters in his Proclamation! Copperhead foiiieiupt for Law! The reader will perceive by referring to the General Election Proclamation, published in another column," that John A Ids tacit, High Sheriff of Bedford county, has set at defiance the following act of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania : "SEC. 8. THAT IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF Tin-: SHERIFFS IN THE SEVERAL COUNTIES OF THIS COMMONWEALTH TO INSERT IN THEIR PROCLAMATIONS OF FLEC TIONS HEREAFTER TO BE HELD, THE FIRST FOUR SECTIONS OF THIS ACT, WITH THE PREAMBLE THEREOF; AND UPON CON VIC TION OF ANY VIOLATION OF TIIE REQUIREMENT OF THIS SECTION, ANY SHERIFF SHALL BE DEEMED GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR IN OFFICE, AND SHALL BE PUNISHED IN LIKE MANNER AS THE OFFENCES PROHIBITED BY THE SECOND, TliyiD, AND FOURTH SECTIONS OF THIS ACT AR E PUNISH ABLE.''

Geary, in Berks and the surrounding Counties, held in this city on Wednesday last, the 22nd instant, was the largest, most enthu siastic and imposing political assemblage ever convened in Eastern Pennsylvania. There never was so great, a crowd of people in Head ing before o nany occasion, political or other wise: and in ar. experience of over twentyfive 1844, we never witnessed a larget political meeting in any part of the State. There were at least 2-">,00t) visitors present and not less than 10,(MM) 'Boys in Blue' and civilians in line. The procession, marching four abreast, in close order, was over two miles long. There were from twenty to thirty Bands of Music, with several hundred flags and ban- ners. Altogether it was the grandest out pouring of the patriotic masses ever witnessed in this part of the State, and struck terror in to the Copperhead ranks.— Heading Journal. J®" We had the pleasure last week, of meeting 31 ajor General Pcnnypacker, who has been here on a visit to an old companion in arms, Col. Filler. Gen. Penny packer is a soldier in whom the old Commonwealth has a great pride. He bears upon his per son the marks of five wounds, all in front Entering the army in 1861, under twenty years of age, as Major of the 97th P. V., he is the youngest .Major General in the ad vice; and he owes his rapid promotions solely to his own merits. All remeud er Gen. Ponnypacker's gallant charge over the battlements of Fort Fisher, which the ene my deemed impregnable. It was here that he received the terrible wound in the groin, from which he still suffers, while planting with his own hands the colors of the 76th and 97th Regiment upon the ramparts of the fort. The bravery and skill which Gen. Penny pack" i constantly displayed in the field are only equalled by the modesty with which he bears his well earned laurels. While here Gen. Dennypacker was called upon by many of our cittzens, and on last Friday evening received the compliment of a serenade, but was too unwell to appear in person to thank his admirers. We hope that he may again honor our town with a visit. COLORADO, O. K ! COLORADO lias gone Democratic '/—Anoth er gain. Hurrah for the "Earthquakes !" — Gazette, Aug. 24.

THE New York Daily News gives utterance to its grief and indignation over the triumph of the Bread-and-Bulter brigade in the Wig wam, by saying— "it is not necessary to be the abject slaves of expediency. It may be necessary to stoop to conquer, and we admit that many precious Southern rights have to be regained by con quest in political warfare , but not to stoop so low; not to crawl to conquer."— JHttsburgh Gazette. fey"'"Extremes meet," saiil some one to Gen. Butler, alluding to the fraternization of Gov. Orr and Gen. Couch in the Philadelphia Convention. "Yes," replied Gen. Butler, "and so they do when a dog bites his own tail —but both extremes belong to the same dog."— N. Y. Tribune. THE NEW ORLEANS BUTCHERY. The publication of the full correspondence between the Govciiiuioiit and Major Oo eiiik Sheridan and Baird removes, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, from these brave and gallant officers the imputation which was cast upon them by the Rebel press of the country. Their despatches were not given to the public in the first instance as written and transmitted to the Department at Washington. Those sympathizing with the assassins and butchers of New Orleans by some means obtained access .<> the docu ments, and garbled them to suit their pur poses. The fear that the outrage would raise a storm of indignation in the North, which would act against their friends in the coming elections, incited them to misrepre sent these two heroic and faithful soldiers. Now we have their statements as they were scut, and the nation learns from them, directly and positively, the true state of the case. Both Shcridbu and Baird une quivocally denounce the action of Mayor Monroe and his Rebel police. General Sheridan js emphatic, and de clares to general Grant that the more he le am.-of the matter "THE MORE R KVOL TING IT BECOMES." lie does not consider it as a riot, but says it was "AN ABSOLUTE MASSACRE BY THE POLICE, WHICH WAS NOT EXCEL LED IN MURDEROUS CRUELTY BY THAT OF FORT PILLOW. IT WAS A MURDER WHICH THE MAYOR AND POLICE PERPETRATED WITH OUT THE SHADOW of a neces>ity." "Furthermore," he adds, "I believe it was PREMEDITATED, and every indication points to this." This is plain talk and comes from a man who is irt the habit of talking plainly and freely, not stopping to consider the danger 1: .an of being relieved rioiu his command for offen iing tn R foci element of New Or leans. All thanks to Sheridan for his cour age. He understands what is wanted a- ng the people of Louisiana, and New Orleans especially. He confesses that the lives of Union men are in constant peril, and expresses it as his belief that "if this matter is pi resitted to pass over without a THOR OUGH AND DETERMINED PROSECU TION of those engaged in it, we may look our F( >K FREQI ENT SCENES OF TIIE SAME KIND, NOT ONLY HERE.BUT IN OTHER PLACES." Ws{?fi h c!isiir{fe't6^'6 Ut W f : # ! ; r aii^.o f 'uslo sustain the National Government. Nat urally the question will arise, are these peo ple yefc ready to be intrusted with power?— yet prepared to take part in the administra tion of national affairs? Since the day of St. Bartholomew and the fiendish massacre at Fort PilloWj the world has not witnessed a more diabolical outrage— x more deliberate butchery, than that of the 30th of July at New Orleans. Let us try to hope that the Government will adopt measures to prevent its repetition. If the civil authorities of the South will nf>t protect their fellow citizens, the Government must put forth its strong arm and defend them if needs 1. • .at the bayonet's point. A "BOY IN BLUE" vs. At I.YHER SOLDI EK. The following dialogue recently occurred between a Union soldier and a companion in arms who adhered to the ('opperhead or ganization : "Why don't you join the Boys in Blue ?" "That crowd don't suit me. I'm a Dem ocrat." "Well, so was I before the war, but I've no fancy now to let the rebels whom we whipped on the battle-field triumph at the noils. I'll vote as 1 fought, hgain-t Jell'. 1 'avis and all his and so should every faithful Union soldier." "'l've heard that talk before; but I tell you I'm a Democrat, and so was my father before me, and I'll not desert my party any more than 1 deserted the ranks." "Your having been a Democrat! in old times is no reason why you should give bow er to Copperheads now, and especially no reason for voting for fleister Clymer. He's an old Whig, who hated the Democrats worse than poison when they deserved res pect. and only became an active member of the party when it began to show sympathy far treason. I hate to see a man like.you going round in the same old circle, like a horse in a bark-mill, when all the world is changing, just because you went round that circle under different circumstances. Geary, a brave soldier, and a life-long Democrat, is nominated on the Union, and just as these leaders have changed ground here they've changed all over the country. Lincoln's Cabinet contained more old Democrat than old Whigs, and as the best of men who gave vitality to the Democratic party your father supported left it, it got few new recruits ex cept such sorry specimens of cast-off rene gades as William B. Reed, the volunteer coun.-ul of Jeff. Davis, George M. Wharton and Hiester Clymer, men who always hated Democracy for its virtues and praise now only the vices that blossomed out in treason. Such fellows pick up Democracy in the way the Indians pick up civilization, and they make your attachment to an honorable old cause a lever to help them sustain a dishon orable new one." "We've got other leaders, though, that were always Democrats, and I'm bound to stand by them." "You're not bound to stand by anything or anybody but your country, and when your Democratic leaders turn against it you should turn against them." "Now look here, you can't make that >. ut. We went to fight for'the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is,' and 1 'm going to stand by that sauieold doctrine. It's the Radicals that's traitors now, and the Deiuo crats that's Union men and patriots That's the ground that Clymer takes in hi- speech e-. He said at Reading that he was bound to fight 'secession and rebellion.' The whole thing has got mixed up. Now, since we whipped the rebels, your party won't let them back in the I nion, aud that makes them just as-bad as the first secessionists." ■'Do you think that a chestnut horse is the same thing us a horse chestnut? If you do, you 11 find out the difference when you take them to market; and that it is not greater in proportion than the difference be tween the secession you and I risked ou>* lives to subdue while Heister Clymer opened up a fire in our rear, and the thing he d> i nounecs as seeessiou in his speeches. When j rebel bullets were flying thick around us, and our comrades were falling on every side, or if captured were reserved for a fate more horrible than immediate death in the prison pens of Libby, Belle Isle and Andersonvilie, what mockery it would have been to tell us that the sole or principal object for which we were confronting danger was that the enemies firing into our ranks might be again installed in the Federal Capitol to make laws for, and with the aid of Northern Copper heads, to rule and persecute the l.yal people of the whole United States! If that was "•••, we might as well have staid at home, for it was scarcely worth while to fmht to fasten a chain around our owu necks. No. We fought to establish the authority of the Federal' Government over the seceding States, and when this was accomplished, and defiant treason crushed, our hope and expectation was that loyal men should gov ern the heritage*we had regained. But the rebels bad no >ooner been vanquished in lair warfare than the treachery of Andrew John son, and the promises of their Northern allies, inspired the hope that by a new flank movement 'the lost cause' might still tri umph, and. alter losingitichmond, virtually remove the etpital of the Confederacy to Washington. That's the plan now, as plain as the no.-0 on your face ; and there is not a rebel in the land, Northor South, that don't chuckle oyer it and work hard for its suc cess. As they combine to support it, we should unite to crush it, if we wish to per- j petuate the fruits of our victories." "Thc Southern States ought to get back in tne Union some time, tnougn, ror and we've no right to keep iheui out.'' "They could get back easily enough if they showed sincere repentance for their treason and gave guarantee agaiusta repeti tion of their war on loyal Bien and loyal in terests.

''l don't believe in tinkering at the Con stitution. Why do you want to change it?' "Because that is the only practical way of making a permanent treaty of peace with the rebel Slates and the only way of adapt ing the government of the country to the changed condition produced by the war. You know that while we were in camp. Heis tar Clymur and the Copperheads in Penn sylvania tried to prevent us from voting at all, and the State constitution was changed to give soldiers the right of suffrage. 1 f the Federal Constitution is not amended now, and the rebel Congressmen are admitted, each rebel .soldier Will have twice as much control over the Fedevsl Government as you or I. If you are ready to submit to that, I am not. ' "That's rather hard, I must confess. I don't know but what it's right to make that change; but then your party asks other changes, too." "None that are not just and neco- . ry.

"I don't want to help pay the rebel debt any more than you do; and it would not oe pleasant to think that the men who shot down our companions should step into the front seats of politics too suddenly ; but that civil-rights clause has got a nigger in the wood-pile, andTm against negro equality, and especially against giving them the right to vote.''

MR. liOONTZ AND SOLDIER'S BOUNTIES. Tho Democrat ha- opened the canvass against Mr. Koontz, by a jesort to its old trade of misrepresentation. That Mr. Koontz did vote against the joint report of the Committee, granting bounties to sol diers, and increasing the salary of members, is a matter of record, and as such, is the legitimate subject of.criticism by his adver saries. But the suppression of the fact by the Democrat that both these measures tea a embraced in one repent, so that members were necessarily compelled to vote for,*or aganist both, is neither manly nor honest, and when thai journal in its issue of the Ist inst., in one article denounced Congress for voting it- members five thousand dollars a year, and in another article called attention to the fact that Mr. Koontz voted against tho "Sold icr h Bounty Bill, uud on the Bth. published the vote by yeas and nays on what it styles simply, "the" Bounty Bill," and finally, when in its issue of the loth, it charges that the friends of Mr. Koontz deny that lie voted against the "Soldier's Bounty Bill," and challenges us to deny it through our paper, it is guilty of a suppression of truth, and an attempt to deceive and mislead public sentiment, that is unfair, unmanly, and downright dishonest. We have carefully examined the Cons re - sional Globe, and have culled from it, the following brief history of that measure. On Thursday .July 26thMr. Stevens mov ed to take from the speaker's table the amendments of the Senate, to the "Civil Appropriation Bill," and that they be refer red to the Committee on appropriations, which was agreed to. Mr. Wilson moved to amend, so that the Committee on Appro priations be instructed to report back as an amendment, an amendment to equalize the bounties ot soldiers, and gave as a reason, that the House had passed the bill embodied in the amendment, but that he feared that it would not pa. - the Senate, if however his amendment was adopted and the Senate should refuse to concur, the subject could then go to the Committee of conference where it could be disposed of so as to se cure an agreement between the two Mouses 1 his motion was agreed to. On Friday .1 u ly.JTth.- a yote v.as taken upon the question ot concurring in the amendment of the Sen ate to the civil appropriation bill, increasing the pay of Senators aud Representatives to ¥ o,OUH jter year. The only persons voting in favor of ibis motion were Messrs. Cooper, denckes, and Samuel Randall, in the nega tive there were 114 votes cast, Mr. Koontz mg among the number. On the same day dr. Stevens from the Committee of appro priations, in pursuance of the instructions ot the House, under the resolution of Mr. llson. moved an amendment to the amendment of the Senate, so as to provide bounties for the soldiers, to which .Mr Lonkling moved an amendment for the Let ter equalization of the bounties of the sol diers. f his amendment was agreed to Mr Koontz voting in favor of it. Mr. Stevens then moved that the House insist upon its disagreement to the several amendments of the Senate, and a-k> d for a Committee of conference. >lt,„ >. Steven-, Wilson ,nd he Jilond were appointed managers upon part of the House, and Sherman. Fessendcn and Johnson on the part of the Senate. I lie managers mot. and agreed upon a rc i', >r t which was submitted to the House by .Vr. Steven - Mr. Wilson one of the Hou-e managers refused to sign the report, anl opposed it in the House for two reason , first, because it rtstsedto agrccto any >■,•■■■ >. rza/ton of t/i< bounties, and second, become it / <'timed thi< jii ovisiou uic,using if" vny of Ji'.-ino' i*B to £.>,000, and asked for these rea son-;. that the report should not be adopted. Mr. Stevens replied that the Senate Com mittee had given them to understand, that the bounty question had been tried over and over again in the Senate, and they feared if ii wa retained in the civil appropriation Jjill, the bill must fail, that the Senate would not agree to any bounty bill. The main que- lion was then ordered on the adoption of the report,.which was rejected, yeas 14, nays 101, Mr Koontz VOTING NO. Mr. Wilson then moved that the House do fur ther insist upon its disagreement to tire Sen ate's amendments. and asked,for another Committee ol conference. Ihc speaker appointed on part of the House, Messrs. Wii-on, Banks, and Niblack, the manager on the part of the Senate were Sherman. IM wards and Harris. This emmitte, nt anil agreed upon a report, giving the prim bounty, und also THE INCREASED PAY TO 31 EM HERS AND SENATORS. This report was submitted to the House by Mr. Banks. 31 r. Wilson refusing to sign it, because of his oppo.-ition to the increased pay of members. 31 r. Lawrence of Ohio asked for a separat vote upon the propositions, an I raised the point of order, but it was overiuled by the Speaker, who decided that it mu.-i be adop ted or rejected as a whole. 31auy member were therefore compelled to vote again-t the report, although they doubtless would, had an opportunity been given, have voted a they previously hud done, for the bount . and against the increased pay. In thus vo ting, these gentlemen—it is LIT fair to infer from their previous action —hoe stlyth uglu that if the report was voted down, the Sen ate seeing the firm position of the House in favor of the bounties, and against the in creased pay of the members, would reccd from its position and yield in favor of tlm bounties, without insisting upon the incrca- Ed pay. But tha report was adopted by a majority of one, and having previously passed the Senate, became a law. We invite the Democrat to an examina tion of the record which wiii conclusively show, that on all occasions when the ques tion of giving bounties to the soldiers v; before the House as a distinct proposition, Mr. Koontz invariably voted in its favor. Had the Democrat been moved by aught else than petty rancor against Mr. Koontz. it would have candidly and honestly stated, that every member of its own party vot J for the bill increasing their own pay, a; 1 that the President-—just now the idol of its affections —signed the bill. —Somerset It. - aid c ST.
