For several months past the Johnstown
Tiilune has floated at its mast-head the
names of Ulysses S. Grant for President
nd Galusha A. Grow for Vice President
of the United States. The editor had,
moreover, in his usual well rounded sen
tences and Btrictly grammatical flourishes
given a reason for the "faith that was in
him." This was enough or should have
been enough 1 A position thus deliber
ately taken by the Tribune bhould have
wt the question at rest forever and that
organ awaited with the moet characteristic
complacency the ratificntion of its choice
by the Kadical State Convention.
But nlas for the Convention ! it met,
and not having the fear of the Tribune be
fore its eye?, recommended Andy Curt in, I
"the soldier's friend," for Vice President.
Imagine the lienor of him of the 'Tribune,
in scanning the proceedings of the Oob
vention, to find his predestined candidate
thrown into tho shade Grow out jroicn
by Curtin!
But shall the Trilane submit to this in
full ! No I to submit would be dastardly.
The Tribune, on the contrary, treats the
Convention as Stevens wanted to treat
, the election of 1S3S, "as if it had never
taken place," ignores the nominee for Y'ue
President, and launches out into the most
unmeasured abuse of Andrew G. Curtin !
We almost wished for the trenchant
quill of the defur.ct Alleyhanian, and fan
cied how the editor of that paper would
have impaled hia Jriiesliip, and given
him no quarter. But alas ! there is no
one to administer the rebuke no hand to
chastise 1 Tho Alleyhanian is dead and
the Freeman an outsider !
We can only gaze upon tho wreck of
Curtin, H8 we find it dismantled by the
spoliator find buccaneer of the Tribune.
And should the Kadical National Conven
tion foil to nominate Curtin, we doubt not
the Tribur will claim the distinguished
honor of accomplishing bis defeat and
"have his claim allowed." As it is, the
'Tribune goes unrebuked, save by an occa
sional "not lifted" or "relumed" of its
weekly issue. This is not, however, by
any means the noblest revenge, end we
entreat the patrons of that paper to forbear.
For after all, viewing the Tribune's pecca
dillo from our stand-point, and knowing
as w"e do its peculiarities, we think the
offence entirely "venial," and not "mor
tal." And thus we reason it out
The Tribune is a most respectable family
paper, (as it admits itself,) but it is a little
mite cranky and queer : and withal highly
poetical. Now, it had conceived a vivid
Appreciation of the beautifully alliterative
terms of (7rnnt and GV-ow, as they fall
upon the drum of a finely attuned car.
We admit that a plodding politician of tho
nineteenth century may fail to "fee" this
but not so the Tribune, Its auric nerve
would be kccn'.y alive to the sensation.
Besides, tho IVibum is poetical, and no
doubt the thoughtlessness of the Kadical
Convention has taken the afflatus out of a
number of poetical effusions, designed as
campaign songs for the coming campaign.
Grow is not only more radical but more
poetical than Curtin.
We cr.n well imagine, laid by in "the
book and volume of the brain" of our
Johnstown friend, a whole "assortment"
(to use a mercantilo phrase) of effusions of
which "Grow" is the burden, and which
have been rendered valueless by the in-
consiueratcness of the Convention, Take
a specimen, with our friend Lucas to lead
the choir, assisted by a young nymph of
of one of the F. F. J. and a melodcon,
. discoursing sweet music to this effect :
Obi we'll elect our PresiJeut,
As well the rebels know ;
The Democrats cannot prevent
Success te Grant and Grow !
Wc are universal suffrage men,
As soon the world shall know ;
t. We'll carry Grant for President,
. Along with NE Grow!
Now this is all spoiled, and instead the
doleful refrain must be taken op :
Oar prospects now are not so pood
Before they were quite certain ;
Fir Grant and Grow the negroes stood,
But not for Grant and Curtin.
And hence tire Tribune's dissatisfaction.
Altijocch the Rump Senate ha been
. organized as a "High Court of Impeach
. roent" for more than a week past, the
i trial of the President did not commence
' until Monday, and its almost entire session
on that day was taken up with a feeble
j, and wordy harangue front Beast Butler,
- in which ho denied the judicial character
of rhe "Conrt," and claimed .that it was
bound by no rulo' of law or precedent.
lie addressed Chief Justice Chase as
"Mr. President," and members of the
Court as "Senators," and in strong terms
urged the conviction of the President.

The following circular was addressed
to Messrs. Johnston & Scanlan, a resect
able law firm in this place, who request
us to publish it, with their reply :
New York, January 1st, 1808..
To Messrs. Johnston Scanlan, Ebcns
lur,j, Cambria County, J'a. At a l'ublic
Meeting at tl.e Cooper Institute, in this city,
held on the evening of December 4 th, lPti7,
attended by a vast number of our recog
nized thinking people, and visited by a
throng unable to j;aiu aumittauceuCicictitly
numerous to till live times the space of the
large hall in that building, General Ultssks L
S. Grant was placed in nomination as the
Candidate of the People, irrespective of
party, for the Office of President of the Uni
ted States.
Hie multitude who participated in this
movement were assisted by Officers,. Vice
Presidents and Secretaries : Citizens drawn
from every business, profession and pursuit ;
belonging to a class ntt usually found at
political gatherings, aud representing the
industry, properly and intelligence of this
great City, to a. degree unknown in any
previous instance, of a publie meeting con
vened for a like purpose. Iudeed, it ap
peared as if the people, sickened with polities
and politicians, and anxious alone for the
prosperity of the country, and the perpetuity
of our Union, had met in their might and
taken into their own hands the business of
declaring.iu advance of political conventions,
who should be their next Chief Magistrate
and Ruler- It may also be remarked, that
while ignoring politicians, they likewise
ignored "party platforms," the expedient of
politicians, an. I fleternv.ned to present the
name of that man lor President whose past
Fervices to pur country give assurance that
he is equally entitled to confidence, whether
occupying a civil oftioe or leading our ar
mies to victory.
To effectuate this purpose, and to further,
in all proper ways, the nomiration of Gen
eral Chant, tho undersigned Committee,
emanating from that meeting, were appoint
ed, in the belief that by communicating the
views and actions of that vast assemblage to
their fellow-countrymen in all parts of the
Union, it would stimulate ethers, controlled
by like desires, to break from the lend of the
mere political traders who have loo long
held the people in bondage, and, as business
men, and lovers of our countrj', meet to
gether in their various villages, towns and
cities, and with one voice aimomicc as their
common choice f. r President, the name of
General Li-Tcss S. Grant.
It is for this ol j-.-ct we address you, enter
taining the hope that yon will at Once
take measures towaids bringing about a
public meeting in your locality, called by
men of business .nd all true citizens, who,
regardless of party, and seeking alone the
prosperity of our cour.try, are willing to
forget political strife, and join hands in one
united effort to place in the Presidential
dlice the man who, of all others named for
that high po.Mtion, is emphatically the choice
of the People.
Knowi i that you will, in a matter so
vitally affecting the future prosper- of our
country, he governed Ly like motives as
controlled us in entering upon this move
ment, aud that your position in the com
munity where you reside will enable you
t-i shape, if not lead, public opinion in your
locality, we trust, that rm receipt of this,
after conference with your neighbors, you
will at once issue a call for a public meeting,
irrespective of party, for the nomination of
General Grant as the choice of the people
fur President of the United States.
We will be raurh pleased to hear your
views, and be informed of the state of the
public mind in your district, respecting this
movement.

To THi. 23. Astor, and others, Committee :
Gextmcmen : Your "New Year Gift,"
though dated January 1st, 1803, only
reached us a few days since. As our firm
was only constituted for the transaction of
legal business, wc cannot regard this other
wise than as a professional "call," and
are somewhat surprised that, representing
as you modestly assert the "property and
intelligence" of New York, you have not
accompanied it with a suitable retainer.
Stii!, as you express a elesire to hear our
"views," they are at your service.
We arc much flattered in being made
the advisers of ths "recognized- thinking
people" of New York, as you style your
selves, and appreciate the line of demarka
tion you would draw between yourselves,
who- think, and others who toil.
You inform us of the important fact
that your meeting was "assisted by Offi
cers, Yice-Presidents and Secretaries."
We have heard before of such "ofiiccrs,"
but presume they were on a much smaller
scale, as at your meeting all the "vices"
of "a great city" would be represented.
We cannot but admire the tone of easy
aristocracy which pervadea your circular,
and which apparently pervaded your meet
ing. "Citizens drawn from every busi
ness, profession and pursuit ; belon"-in" to
a class not usually found at political gath
erings, and representing the industry, jiro-l-arty,
and intelligence of this great city."
From this, gentlemen, we understand
that youra was no gathering of the 'com
mon people that a different clas3 got it
up, and attended if, not plebeian like, on
foot, but "drawn" in their carriages, with
I liveried servants ; in brief, that it con
tained "all the respectability" of New
York. This is very gratifying, and wc
feel complimented "in an especial manner"
i a having such clients. . -
.lou assure us mat "it appeared as if
the people, sickened with politics and pol-
iticians," etc. Now, we cannot quite un
derstand this. We obseve the names of
James Ilaf per, former Know-Nothing
Mayor of Now York, Hamilton Fish, for
merly Ha dical U. S. Senator, Moses II.
Grinnell, John Cochrane, and other noto
rious politicians of the radical school, are
on your Committee, which is only nn
'emanation ;" and unless Lire "people,
sickened with politics and politicians,"
have been prescribed "a hair from the dog
that bit them," we are at a loss to see
what took them to the meeting.
But you ."will be much pleased to hear j
our views, ami we snouiu line to "mucn
please' you. Y'ou desire to run General
Grant for President, and n proposing
to do so, say cf the people "that while,
ignoring party politicians, they likewise
ignored 'party platforms,' the expedient
of politicians, arid determined to present
the name of that man for President whose
past services to our country give assurance
that ho is equally entitled to confidence,
whether occupying a civil office or leading
our armies to victory."
We do not advise this, for several lea
sons :
First, We do not know what the opin
ions of General Grant are upon the great
questions of the day, and without knowing
us opinion it would bo unsafe to give ours.
Second, Thonicre fact that Grant was
a victorious General at the head of two
or three hundred thousand men ns brave
as him?e!f, is no proof that he is competent
to perform the duties of the office of Pres
ident of the United States. . .
Third, If General Grant were elected, i
and held the same opinions expressed in i
the terms of surrender granted to Gene ral j
Icc nlunlerto to carry turnout he I
Lcc, -n.l uni.iU. to carry tn.m oat, ne ,
would be impeached by such a Congress j
as now disgraces the country.
Fourth, If General Grant were elected
President, and should hold arid, carry out
the views towards the Southern States,
expressed in his report to President Joh
son officially, he would render himseli
ble to impeachment by the Congress of
the United States.
Fifth General Grant himself, instead
cf ignoring part' and "party platforms,"
has become the creature of the Hump Con
gross, and we know your Committee, re-
prcfccmnig as you bay i.ie "muusiry, pro-
.r . .i (.. i .
I
I
i
pet ty, and intelligence" of New York, can- j The bill not only prohibits the adjudica
not approve the acts of the Hump Con- j tion by thcSuprcme Court of caeca in which
I I 1 m
orcss. ns. at lca?t. the industry and Intel-
ligcnce of New Yoik is Democratic, ami
opposed to the doings of the Hump.
Sixth, The party now using General
Grant are unfit depositories of power.
Lo?3 than four years ago they claimed for
Andrew Johnson all the virtues now as
cribed to General Grant ; and yet the
same party that elected the former are now
impeaching ldm for "high crimes and mis
demeanors." Seventh, According to the statement
of Ben. Wade, the heir apparent to the
Presidency by impeachment, (if his own
vote can give it to him,) General Grant
refuses to discuss or refer to the vital ques
tions in which the very existence of this
government is involved ; but parries all
such questions by talking "horse" and
"dog." Wc should be treating our clients
badly to advise them, representing as they
do the "industry, property, and intelli
gence" of New York, to choose for Fresi
elent of 40,000,000 freemen a man whose
discourse keeps on a level with quadruped.
These and other reasons impel us to
advise you against placing your youthful
affections upon Grant, Your Committee
is a very imposing one, having at its bead
the richest man in New Y'ork and at its
foot the merchant prince of thetsame city,
Aleck Stewart, but our conviction is that
neither .wealth, nor power, nor military
glory, will ever again induce the American
people from sustaining the Constitution of
their fathers and the party that is faithful
to the letter and spirit of that sacred in
strument. -Very respectfully,
Johnston & Scanlan.

In a Tight Place. The ..Berkshire
(Mass.) Enyle is responsible for this story:
A man in Beckett, while in the woods for
timber, had the misfortune to "Jode" a
tree, and in order tc get it down hitched his
oxen to the butt and made them pull. The
tree fell into the fork of another near by,
when the tops overbalancing, the other end
was jerked twenty feet high into the' air,
carrying the oxen with it, where' they
remained suspended in imminent danger
of being choked to death." . Perceiving The
tree to be very nearly poised, the "nan
attempted to drag them down by the tails,
but, one of these failing, he had recourse
to a fifteen foot pole, with which, by
reaching up to tho' tops, he could so raise
it that the oxen's hind feet could touch
tho ground, thus enabling them to catch
breath. Being unable to sustain tho top
for any length of time, he adopted the see
saw motion, causing the tree to vibrate
up and down often enough to nve his
cattle chanco for air. He continued this
operation for hours before aid arrived. He
then climbed up and out on the tree, cut oil
a twelve foot log, which falling, released
the oxen, and he "snaked" it home without
even unhitchin?.
The house of a farmer named Lam
bert, at Marhara, twenty-five rnne3 from

day night, and Lambert and his seven
children, and a man servant, were burned
to death.
The Supreme Court Gag Rill -Xlie
President's Yeto J3c&sa?e.
To the Senate of the United Slates ;
I have considered with such care as the
pressure of other duties has permitted a
bill, entitled "An act to amend an act
entitled an act to amend the judiciary act,"
passed the 24 th of September, 17S9.
Not being able to approve of all its
provisions, 1 herewith return it to the
Senate, in which, house it originated, with
a brief statement of ray objections. The
th
first section of the bill meets my approba
tion, as for the purpose of protecting the j
rights of property from the erroneous de-j
wo9, of inferior judicial tribunals.' It-'
nroviucs means ror coiaming unuormiy uy
appeal to the Supreme CourPof (the.Uuu
ted States, in casca which have now be
come very numerous and of much public
interest, and in which such remedy is not
now allowed. . .
The second section) however, takes
away the right of appeal to thai court in
cases which involve the life and liberty of
the citizen, and leaves them exposerel to the
judgment of numerous iuferior tribunals.
It is apparent that the two sections were
conceived in a very different spirit, and I
regret that ray objection to the one imposes
upon me the necessity of witholding my
sanction from the other. I cannot give
my assent to a measure which proposes to
deprive any person "restrained of his or
her liberty, in violation of the Constitu
tion, or of any treaty or law of the Uni
ted States," from the right of appeal to
the highest judicial authority known to our
government. To "secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves ami our posterity," is
one of the declared objects of the Federal
Constitution. To assure these, guaran
tees are provided in the same instrument
as well against "unreasonable searches and
seizures'' us arraiust the suspension of the
privilege of the writ of hubeas corpus, un-
3 tB a "l icuemon oi invasion ,
XIS Plic safety may reep.ire it.'' It was, I
T tU th. Incan3 i
of protecUlIg nnj enforcing these inestnna-
ble privileges that the jurisdiction which i
mm uiii piujivoea ;u .u.&v v. i was coil-
femd upon the Supreme Court of the na- ;
was behoved to be necessary and rieht
2sotiiing has since occurred to disprove the
wisdom and justice of the measure, ;;nd to
modify it as now proposed, would be to
lc?scn the protection of tho citizen from
the exercise of that arbitrary posver, and
to weuiien the safeguard oi lile and liberty,
which can never be raade.too secure against j
UIo,,al cncIoachments.
rTP'-als "aJ' "creaiter oe taken, but inter
diets its jurisdiction on appeals which
have alreaely been maele; to that high judi-
ciiu uouy. li, uicreiure, it stioulel become j
a law, it will, by its retroactive operation, ;
ill t.i r i.
wrest from the citizen a rcmcdy' tvhich he
enjoyed at the time of his appeal. It will
thus operate most harshly upon those who
believe that justico has been denied them
in the inferior courts.
The legislation proposed in the second
section, it seems to mc, is not in harmony
with the spirit and intention of the Con
stitution ; it cannot fail to affect most in
juriousiy meuisi erruipose ot cur svstcm
: - . t
ot government, for it estabhshes a precc- j
dent which, il followed, may eventually !
sweep away every check on arbitrary and
unconstitutional legislation. Fhus far
during the existence of the government the
Supreme Court of the United States has
been viewed by the people as the true
exponent of their Constitution, and in the
most violent party conflicts its juelgmcnts
and decrees have always been sought anel
deferred to with confidence and respect.
In public estimation it combined judicial
wisdom anel impartiality in a greater de
gree than- any other authority known to
the Constitution, and any act which may
be construed into or mistaken for an at
tempt to prevent or evade its decisions on
a question which affects the liberty of the
citizens and agitates the country, cannot
fail to' be attended with unpropitious
consequences.
It will be justly held by a large por
tion of the people as an admission of tho
unconstitutionality of the act on which its
judgment may be forbidden or forestalled,
and may interfere with tjiat willing ac-
quiescence in its provisions, wbicli is
necessary ior me narmomous and etlicient
execution of any law.
For these reasons, thus briefly and im
perfectly stated, and for others, of which
want of time forbids the enumeration, I
deem it my duty to withhold my assent
from this bill, and to return it for the .re
consideration of Congress.

THE VETO VETOED.
At six o'clock on the evening of the
2Cth ult. the Kump Senate passed, over
the President's Veto, the bill depriving the
Supreme Court of appellate jurisdiction in
all cases like the M'Ardlc case, arising
under the "reconstruction"., . acts. .The
vote was yeas 33 ; nays 9 a strict party
vote. The following afternoon the Hump
House passed the bill over the veto by a
vole of yeas 112 ; nays 31 a strict party
vote also the Radicals all voting for. the
bill, thus depriving every citizen cf appeal
to the -highest judicial tribunal in cases
involving either liberty or life.
Stanton holds his commisson as Sec
retary of War from Mr. Lincoln, hence,
according to the tenure of office act, ho was
liable to removal any time after one month
from the accession of Mr. Johnson to the
Presidency. This will settle so much of
the impeachment as charges illegality in
removing the Skeleton Secretary.
The only party in the country that
has practised repudiation is the Kadical
party of Pennsylvania. Gov. Curtin,
State Treasurer Kemble and the Kadical
majority iu the Legislature of 18G5, repu
diated the coin interest on. the Stato
bonds, and brought world-wide disgrace
upon the State. -
