THE CRISIS.
We sre ia the mi-Lt of a erisi-, on the
event of which depend the future peace and
1 n -purity cf 'he nation. Hardened by the
tiere vicissitudes of the last -tx year-, we

condition of aiiuir* winch, ten years since,
w ,uil have cnv ,IM. 1 the whole country
with the wiidest agitation. The co-ordinate
brand fof our t.i verm cut are at variance.
By a fatal err, the National legislature

of the Executive, and a faith!. s< Prc-ident
it making the most of the opportunity. The
law- f (be land are kit unexecuted, or are
boldly v-t a ide at the despotic will of a sin
gle • who, blinded by an:hi:ion. and sur
rounded ty such satellites as Bir.ckky,
Jeremiah Biuck, and Montgomery Blair,
seeks to convert representative government
into a dicta' r-:. p. and who - irc.iy veils
his purpose to role cr ruin. K >er to reap
the J'u.. bet St of his apostasy, the Demo
cratic party is s'raining every nerve to get
■mce more into j, wer, that it ui--.'. r tiewit
oid adianc- with Southern rebels, and reeou
, ••truct the Union as nearly after the old pat
tern as is pos-ibk. Ail the burdens left ü
by the war are skilfully tak- n advantage ,l
I to persuade the unthinking that l>e- ••cratie
i rule alone can restore the blessings of light
taxes, low prices, and spt' la currency.
Every local i, turned to a • ount.

upon. Every art. which the furious la<t of
power and of the spoils of office can suggest,
is eagerly put in practice tu L iin votes on
specious pretexts. The icsu'ts wc see in
Ma :;c and California.
What. then, are wedding in this perilous
conjuncture ? Ethan-ted cy the labors and
sacrifices of the last six years, serene'y
c'.nudent in the justice of our osu-s and the
triumph of our arms, we supinely wait'to
see power pa.-s Lab, the hand* of the enemi. -
of oar great cause, that tl;ey mav nullify ail
the results of sir triumph. Petty l<i!
questions, of infinitesimal importance, are
sufficient t ii- tus fr -; con idering the
! overwhelming issues at stake. _ We pause to
think whetl. r an indiv . :a! i.- ali that we
would have him to :<e, f- ore wc can bring
ourselves to rote for hits, when ti,at indi
vidual is a- nothing himself, and we should
! only look upon him. whether worthy or un
worthy, as personifying, for the moment.

are nothing bat the instramsnts with which
we work; and a bad it-trument. used to a

Let not apathy or passing disgust paralyze
us in the hour of our triumph, until the

anUMfUMs, at the cost of plunging the
whole country into confusion.
These differences bet wee j the Executive
and the Legislature, involving not only the
policy of the country- hut the fundamental
structure of its government, are rapidly ap
proaching a crisis. Twelve months since,
Mr. Johnson cootented himself with stigma
tizing Congress as a body "hanging up u
she verge of >be government." Six month;
3; .. when vet d bills were passed by the
constitutional two-thirds, he pledged himseii
to carry tbeui into execution. Now, he isn
longer content with nnihfying the laws by
indirection and by sophisticaliy arguing away
their plain iuteot sad purpose, but he
boldly sets them at naught, and exercise;

Ly the fearful eventualities of the next three
months. What is needed to realize the
worst of th ae iotebodinga ? Only Demo
cratic success in the fall elections !
If the ever-loyal city of Philadelphia, the
rock -rainst which the tempests of rebel
lious Democracy have spent their force in
vain, should prove recreant U her well
earned glory—if the great State of Pennsyl
vania should belie her splendid record—
what arful encouragement would it no:
give to the miserable band who are plotting
scheming for the overthrow ol our institu
tions ? Pennsrhrania is again the battle
.round cf the I nion, and not at Getsysburg
ucre the lines more closciy drawn or the i=-
-u.-s more dLrimtiy balanced. As Meade
and lw.-e then led the opposing armies, so

and Ludlow, Powell and I.v to the leaders of
t ir respective parties, in such a contest,
for tods so mom* ntous, personal preferences
are a.- naught. The man disappears in the
©tusc. and the country claims the devotion
: every citizen at the ballot-box. as she
on claimed his services in the field.

shortsightedness, permit the enemy to carry
Pennsylvania, what hope-scan we have o:
N w Vorfc and New Jersey t Our example
would be contagious, and we may well la k
! -rvrartl with unaffected dread at the results
if the great Middle States should appear to
rally to the support of Johnsonism. Who
can predict the mad career of a President
ihu encouraged by the apparent applau-e
of the people—of a President who ha, so
obstinately m:-ased ami transcended his
j: itrcrs even when the adverse verdicts of
election alter election have warned him to
desist? Intoxicated with success, there is
-earcdy a crime against the State which
n.;;y not in advance te imputed to him on
the t -timoo, of his wn adherents.
Even should Heaven avert from us th. -;
unimaginable ev; s which we sh. uid have in
vited, hardly leas disastrous would be the re
sult upon the settlement of ~ii the great
questions arising from the war. Congress
is the representative of the people; politi
cian- there are in it, quick to discern and
apt to magnify the evidences of apprehended
popular reaction, Supj • rtedby the people.
Congress has bravely withstood the assaults
of the Executive, and has laid the founda
tions of reconstruction based upon broad
and enduring principles. Abandoned by
the people, the nn.ral force of Congress
would be pone. Doubt ar i indecision
would take the plat- of firmness and well
considered action. Every rebel would spun
anew the idea of submission. Every ho,tile
element would unite for co operation. An
ticipated triumph would draw aiound them
the venal, the unprincipled, and the

they would control the position. Forcing
their way into Congress, all pus.-ioiiities of
evil would be opes to thorp. Assumption
of the Confederate debt, repudiation i f tf!e
national >1 ligations, free trade, desperate

programme before us. and it is worse than

Jar. Believing in the pataotum of Mr.
-,u- in, i hastened .a V. as'ts n uoiuc
diateiy after the death of ALahatu Lincoln
and while yet Mr. Johnson was residing
under the hospitable ruof of the Hon
Samuel Hooper, of liosron, *ti Iding his
executive sessions in a room oithe Ireasurj
building, ere the widow ofourjate lamented
President had left the Whitq House, and
there, with a patriotic gentleijan from Ar
kansas —a man who, though be bad fallen
into the rebellion .-oon droppedout, and ha J
devoted his energies to pro - th? the Union
cause, and I bad afuii and fretconversation
with Mr. Johnson. He then i juiced that
tight n, nths would elap-e ortu-arly eight,
before Congress would be cafcd together.
In the meantime," said he. '*l, as Presi
dent, have nothing to do but loid that ter
ritory under military government, and see
by the power of the army that the I nion
men, whether Hack or white, aid the Amer
ican < .linen, whether of Northernor S-uth

conquered country. It is weii that so much
time must elapse," said be, ' before Con

of governments over that corn try belongs to
Congress, and in eight months the people
ufthe two sections, iniermingipg with each
other freely, will come to uud island each
ither better than they ever hae done, an i
we will all get to understand the colored
p< uple better than we do, and to kn- vr how
tar it would be safe to invest Acta with po
litical power." I was rejoiced to hear such
assurances as these. The President did me
the honor to say that he spoke freeh* to me.
\r uu . ... anted the peoj ieto '• li : - '-and
that th :e were his views, aat be thought 1
had opportunities for making thetn known.
I bad - sn H n. Charles Suuner the night
—Tor and he told mc that in a convorsa
tion which he hid with the President that
day, Mr. Johnson had made a similar -:ato
inent to him. Said Mr. Gunner: "Provi
dence s cms to have taken care of us and to
have inspired Mr. Johnson with the truth
beyond the measure in which I was permit
ted to hope he possessed it. He takes the
view that will make the Nurth safe for the
present, and ultimately give us a Latmoni
us country." As I left the cxecntive room
having g • thither at Mi. J ,baron's re
quest from Mr. Hooper"- bouse, he saying
to General Grant, for he was with me:
"The time has como whea I must be ia the
executive room. Our conversation is not
finished. Go ovur, and acre is my cardti
the messenger. Be ia the r >ui awaiting
me, that we may conclude it there. " As I
left the room, to which 1 had been thus cm
a lently introduced by him, I met Gen. fail
f'charx. fresh frotu Gen. Sherman's army in
North Carolina, with hi- stars bright on his
shoulder?, and the dat from Sherman's
grand march to the sea yet upon his war
worn-uniform. After the close of this inter
view—l met him but for a moment —said

talk i little too strongly." St. i he: "I

in th presence of a g nt.t man m the I. niou

brought on the war. I watched him for a
little while, and what did I learn ? Why,
that he rejoiced that there were tightmont: -

assume the powers of a dictator, and organ

which they may study with advantage. It
deu; n-tratcs very clearly how easily consti
tutions formed by un< qu;vocally loyal men
can be overthrown, when the rebel element
so largely abounding in the Sjuthern States
is infused into the politiecs of the country.
A- the case has yet to occur in which their
will to do mischief in politJeal affair? lias
fallen short of their ability, it L evident
that time would insure the wildest and must
destructive results. It L the number
of rebels returned to their horn-; - who have
revolutionized that b r ier Stare, and who
have made it a sort of Sautii Carol>ua with
matter!ngs of a Sum tcr too at no distant day.
ah -uid Pennsylvania in the coming election
forget her pristine patriotism and bravery.
Kentucky, too, is an instructor as well ia
bezeen to loyal men. The first'work that
rebels in that grand but ucfortumu border
State accomplish on their return from the
rebellion i- to undo what these tr ie men did
in their absence, Arid we arc- warned • A
the absolute necessity for energy are! unity
among loyal men by cooperation f tL-
Democracy with the rebel element in over
turning just Laws and constitutions. Taut
on-operation L-, of course, more effective au-j
therefore mere 10 I j feorc-d cow than whi.'
the stern re a' ies of war interposed betwoer
the-sa separated frieuds. But the issues in
tlie same an i the sympathies the saute thai
they have been for seven yeais, in war at. ,
peace, under the arbitrament of arms and ol
voter. And th--re is the same reason why
true uien should *'vote as they shot" tLi:
year that there was last.
The same proclivity appears also in Vir
ginia, as ip Maryland ami Kentucky. Ev
ery nerve is set and held to its utmost ten
sion, in order to accomplish the same re
sults. And our Democrats, true to theii
pernicious instinct ami habit, giro to the
rebel element in Virginia their sympathy
and approval, while the Virginia politicians
ol the secession school return the compli
ment by screaming against Congress and the
Republican "arty.
The warning given to loyal men by afi
these concurrent operations, is too plain and
emphatic to fee ineffectual These facts
show them, more plainly than any words
that we can uuer, that the old political at:
ta> uisrn is unchanged, and that the rebels
ot past years are in earnest to effect whai
they failed to effect by rear —the control, ii
not the overthrow, of" the Union: and that
the Democracy arc participants in the samt
came. By their -unction and with the
President set —rather awry, it is true —on
the shoulders ofboth, as their head, they
hope f..r stt.ve-s. It is f r Key übiieao
I nicu men of Pennsylvania and Ohio to de
feat their hopes. That done, Mr. Johnson f
headship of the coalition would not continue
a day. If we fail to doit, we place a crown
on the head and an iron scepter in tne hand
of treason, and poor contempt on ail the
principled heroism of the war. — Pittsburgh

W ITEHEAS. This League was organised
for the purpose of sustaining the National
Government, and the measures adopted by
its authority for the suppression of the re

proper means and influences that disloyal
spirit which was in sympathy with slavery
and trea- n. and animated all the conven

And AMiLr.EA.--. The efforts of the Dem

of re fflion bv a war upon Congress, by the

'2. That the laws passed by Congress

upon which they can reasonably hope to be

3. That tie public acts of Congress un

them: that whether those laws relate to the

PUM FACTS FOR TAX-PAY Kits.
It should be borce in mind by ev <y tax
payer of the Nation that the enormous far
den of debt under which the country is
staggering, was fixed upon it by a rebellion
inaugurated, fostered and strengthened 1.
the Democratic party.
It should be borne in mind that tlsi- debt
was enormously increased by the aid and
reunion given to the rebellion while in prio
ress, by the Democratic party, whereby the
rebels were encouraged tq prolong the strug
gle against the Union armies, after a'! other
reasonable hope of success had been ex
tinguished.
It should be borne in miad that the debt
of the Nation was still further increase 1 :■>
the efforts of the Democratic party to crip
ple and destroy the public credit, in the
midst of the- struggle for national exi-teoce.
and that the national bonds were th.rehy
forced to heavy discount in contracting ka-.-
vvith which to carry on the war, and the r •.-
tiocal currency was thus largely reduced be
low ins true value in gold, thereby aiding
enormously to the cost of al! materia! pur
chased lor tbe use of the Government.
It should be borne in mind by ev :y • ix
payerof the Nation, that the Democratic
party pledged to secure oompen-a
tion to tbe siave holding rebels for evi ry
-lave set free by the Emancipation Frock
mation and Constitutional Amendment,
thus adding an immense and unjust burden
to the already onerous taxation under which
the country groans.
It should borne in mind, that i th-
Democratic members in the House of the
Fortieth Congress, have placed them- I'- -
upon record by their votes, in favor f ti.
monstrous proposition that the National
government is liable under the Reconatruc
tion laws, for every dollar of the State debts
of all the States in rebellion.
It shonl-i be borne in mind by every tax
payer, that the Democratic party, th: ugh
its orators and writers for the pre-, i.- :u
--mitted to the unheard of propositi ti th
the Confederate war debt, contracted in the
iniquitous struggle to overthrow tbe Na
tional Government, is justly charge.,-
against the Government, and that to k j : .
only watts the success of its insiiiou- at
tempts to regain power, to fasten this debt
upon the pcop;c of the United Stat-:-:.
It should be borne in mind by every tax
payer-, that the Democratic part-' has n-a h
persistent and strenuous efforts to
both public and private credit, and brie - on
a financial crisis, such as will msite it im
possible for the Nation to meet its-obliga
tions promptly, thus carrying wide-si re, i
roin through: at the country, and reducing
to beggary thousands of wilows and or
phan- and other worthy persons whose lit
tle alt is invested in government bonds, t' -i
the redemption of which the faith of th<
Nation is pledged.
It should be borne in mind 'or every tax
p3jer that the Democratic party persistent
ly opposes every effort made to lighten the
public burden, by levying duties upon fi_r
eien imj rt.-, thus requiring foreign capi
talists and trader- who have the benefit - o;
our market l to bear a small share of ou;
burden to return, and at the same time pro
tec* our Lome manufacturers from the
deadly competition of foreign capitalist:
who grow fat upon the proceeds of paupe:
labor.
And finally it should be borne in tcind by
every tax-payer, and every jatriot who Las
the go--d of the country at heart, that the
speakers of the Democratic party openly
avow that their hope for the success of that
party lies only in financial disaster to the
country, whether caused by failure of crops,
by the discrediting of the national currency,
by preventing the Nation from meeting its
obligations, or however resulting.
We earnestly hope that every Union pa
oer of Pennsylvania will keep these- facts
aefore the people continually, until after the
nest election shall have rebuked the iniquity
of the Democratic party by the largest Re
publican majority ever given in the State.—

FOR THE SOUTH.
Genera! Sickles made a true and eloquent
speech in Washington in response to the
serenade given to him by the Grand Army
ot tbe It. public, Monday evening. In the
arse of his speech he made this compact
statement of what the Congressional Plan
of Reconstruction, under military supervis

Th-.- sy.-teui of free labor has been inaugu

the States where they belonged: tranquili
ty and order have been maintained during
the most critical period of transition from
the relations of master and slave to the rela
tions of n an and man; the relation of politi
cal equality [applause] under the guarantees
which military occupation afforded for the
v.-.-uritv life and property; Northern cap
ital and Northern enterprise bave been re
building the cities and cultivating the fields
restoring the railroads, and navigating the
waters constructing bridges, and establishing
telegraph line-, re-opening commerce and
reviving industry, openine schools and buil
ding churches from the l'otoinae to the Rio
Grl'nde. And it has recently been affirmed
by authority, than which none can be high
er in all the hath, that ur presence and
cur measures have saved their public records
from destruct. n and their own civil officers
from lawless violence.
THE Cincinnati Advertiser in a stirring
article, smelling very strongly of copper,
said "Every prediction made by our party
abut the war lias been verified. To

HITH THE REBEL CONGRESS.
Rickmon i Enxiaer, Jan. 25, ISM.
The i .lowing bill, to be entitled ' Aa act
' pr dealing iu the paper currency ot
the en- wy," has passed both Houses of
tungr.ss. It origin ate J in the Iloasc of
i.eprv.-eniatstes, and was amended in the
>eiiate, ey the in ertjoo of the words ifetli
in the first section. The amendment
wtil, of course, be concurred in by the
lb u-e. The act win. doubtless, receive the
approval of the President, and the country
*;. i then be relieved of the pernicious ef
fects of a traffic which it is surprising any
person professing to i identified with the
South should ever have engaged in:
1. The Congress of the Confederate
S r ites oj America Jo enact —That no bro
ker, banker or denier in exchange, or person
concerned in trade as a merchant, or vender
o; merchandise of any description, or any
other p< rson. except ic 'tiun the {Art? cf tti<
e.emp, snail buy, sell, take, circulate, or in
any manner trade in any paper currency of
the I Ditci £tatc~: Pr&cuiaf. That the pur

sidered a violation of this act.
2. That any person violating the provi
ns of this act shall be subject to indict
ment ami pr etention in the Confederate
Court boiden for the district within which
the iffi-rise was committed, and shall, upon
lotion, forfeit the amount so bought,
s i. cireuhti J, or used, or a sum equal
thereto : and shall be moreover subject to a
fine ot not more ikun twenty thousand dol
ors. nor than rive hundred, and be iin

That this aw shaii Lc construed to ap

THE PEOPLE WARNED.
At a "are meeting held in Cincinnati,
- -aator Thayer, of Nebraska, made the
•vlrs. statements on his own responsibil
ity: •
[ have r-.. been in Maryland and the
: f Columbia, 1 aving ..ft WashiDg
t n only night before last. While there I
took special puns to inform myself in regard

ate ly, having received it from unquestioned
ami un ju -tionable authority. I cannot
j intoutlhc! cs-ian on which he may at
t f-pt to use military force. It may be to
prevent the assembling of Congress, or
wh n assembled, if the House of Represen
tatives passes articles of impeachment, or it
may be fortbe porpc-e of forcing the South
•;-rr. "Ana: r- and I. ; r -entative. to seats in
C :grr Tho question may be asked,
'I .v can he do such a thing?" Youreeoi
- y m tubs ago Governor Swann of
Maryland was elected a United Statc-s Sen
:. jr. and that a few weeks afterward he de
d, giving grave reason- of State as the
tu.-.. I*.was that Lieut. Gov. Cox of that
State could not be trusted for Johnson's
pur; -cs. There is to-day a standing army
in Maryland, an organized mihtia force, such
as DO other State in the Union ha-, officered
mainly by returned Rebels. When the
time comes which he looks for, under some
pretense. Johnson may declare Maryland
and the District of Columbia under martial
law. and call uj on Governor Swann to bring
fopth bis militia. There is nothing that
will deter Johnson from his purpose, except
when the issue comes that his courage may
fail. I make this statement that the Amer
ican people may know the danger that
threatens their peace and safety. If Penn
sylvania and New York gi*c Democratic
!.. oritics in the coming elections it will em
-1 .Jen biin to carry out his purpose; and I
I ; that you, the people ol Ohio, will bo
warned ia time, and so cast your votes as to
r . -ke and prevent the mad designs of this
lad man who is now acting President of the
United States.
"THE "NORTHERN DEMOCRACY
I NDOEBTEDLY KEEP THE ELAG
OF THE REBELLION FLYING."
This is the language of the Chariottsvillo
(Va.i Chronicle- whose editor was a rebel,
but who is anxious to see the South restored
to the Union. Complaining of Johnson and
the Northern Democracy it speaks in the
following emphatic terms-
We have oniy too eicariy defined ideas as
to what is calculated to contribute toward
relieving tbe South of its present embarras
sing situation; the first is that President
John-on shall keep quiet; the second is that
the Northern Democracy shall disband. It
is the Northern Democracy that is the occa
sion and the apology for the continued fusi
lade of the South after their arms have be en
laid down for two years. They say they are
going to carTy Ohio—and what good is that
going to do anybody? Can they carry the
United States? The Southern States they
cannot carry, how many Northern States cau
they carry? How many? The people seem
to us deranged—and as reckless of the suf
ferings of the South, as they are mad. So
far as V',rJsea > do it the Horthern Demo
cracy undoubtedly keep the flag of the Redjd
!ton flying. Whether they do or not. they
are regarded as so d-.ing by the public sense
of the North. The public mind there does
not distinguish
a Pennsylvania or Vermont farmer naturally
eimdwhs that Mr. Pendleton and General
HVk- arc in sympathy with each other, tad
if Mr. Pendleton recommends the repudia
tion of tbe national debt, the Pennsylvania
or Vermont farmer believes that tlie South
is already scheming to inflict that fatal stab
on the national faith.
THE DEMOCRATS find in convenient to
have short memories. Professing to be fill
ed with alarm at the increase of taxation in
this country, they altogether ignore the fact
that their own conduct led to the war and
ail tbe burdens it imposes.
Every State that went into the Rebellion
f.w a Democratic State. In so going they
vii .(D-d to the natural tendency of the Idem
ocrat e p&rty.
All the men at the North who sustained
or sympathized with the Rebellion were
Democrats, inspired thereto by the.doctrines
of the party.
If there had been r.o Rebellion there
v.ouid be uo taxation. If there bad been no
taxation the Rebellion would not have been
put down.
No wondor the Democrats are sensitive on
the subject of taxation, —rittslurg Gazette.
