General Geary.
Before, and at the tivae.Gen. Geary
was nominated, and since then, and up
to the issue made by the Harrisburg
Telegraph, that "the larger Geary's ma
jority, the sterner will be the rebuke ad
ministered to Andrew Johnson," we were
his friend, but we could not feel cer
tain at any time that his election was
sure, because ono fact pressed upon us,
that the radicals would use and abuse
him. And now that we have taken
our position with tho National Union
Party we cannot expect him as the
nominee of the Union Republican
Party, to stand upon our platferm of
principles, we take his name down
from our mast-head, and will leave the
place vacant until a candidate is nom
inated who will endorse the platform
of our party. We could support Geary
as a soldier, as a Man, AS a friend, but
we cannot support him as the candi
date of the radical Republican party.
No friend of Andrew Johnson can vote
for Gen. Geary. No sensible man, a
true friend of Johnson's policy to re
store this Union, can vote for Geary ,
and by so doing aid the radicals in
passing an insulting judgment upon
Andrew Johnson. Other men can and
will do as they please but as for our
self we shall act consistent with our
PrefeBEllollB.
The National Union Convention.
We were a spectator at the Great
National Union Convention held in
Philadelphia last week. It was a Con
vention of men from all parts of the
United. States, and its proceedings
must carry conviction of right to the
heart of every unprejudiced man. We
have not room this week to speak of
it as we desire. We can only say that
we endorse its action—accept its plat
form and will stand upon it, and will
not support any man for Governor,
Congress, or the Legislature who is not
willing to take the positive position we
have this day publicly taken.
We made arrangements in Philadel
phia, to have our patrons furnished
with the full proceedings of the Con
vention, and if not disappointed, an
extra will accompany this week's Globe.
The resolutions and address should be
read, not only onge, but every week,
and every day if possible. Do not
close your eyes to the truth. And do
not fear the denunciation of men who
are willing at all times to be the mere
tools of unprincipled politicians. You
have an important part in the great
struggle to perform, and see to it that
your conscience approves your action.
Believing as we do, that we are right
in taking the stand we have, we shall
fear no opposition or denunciation,
come from whatever quarter it may.
Ber.. The National Union Party of
to-day bears the same relation to the
country as the Union Party did during
the war. Both were formed for the
same object—the salvation of the Union.
The Union Party saved the country
by its noble, bearing during the war,
and the. National Union Party seeks
to perpetuate the Union. There can
be no anion unless the North and South
agree. This is an undeniable truth.
In war they disagreed, and might
was to decide the right. Now . , war has
ended, and the National Union Party
aims to remove all prejudices, adjust
all differences, and establish the fruits
of victory on a permanent foundation.
If it were possible for tho soldiers who
fought the battles for and against the
Union, to meet .in mass Convention,
wo have no doubt they would agree
upon honorable terms of reconstruction
in less than twenty-four hours. But
unfortunately the politicians in con
grosb, who never saw danger, have
had the matter in their hands—and
Jittle good can be expected from them.
fier &The harmony' which existed in
the National Union Convention shows
conclusively what may be expected if
the policy of President Johnson is sus
tained. If the leading mon in the
south could unite with the leading
men in the North, and amicably ad
just all differences and cast aside all
prejudices, and harmoniously agree
upon one platform, and that not at all
favorable to the South, is it not reason
nolo to presume that the people North
and South could do likewise. The No
tional Union Party is just the party of
the day, and all men who are willing
to discard all other parties and unite
with it, should do so at onco.
ANOTHER NATIONAL CONVENTION,
It is now proposed that a National
Convention of Soldiers from every
State in the Union be hold sometime
next month. It will bo a sight to see
men who once met in the battle field
as enemies, coming together as friends,
that future generations may be blessed
with a land of liberty.
ga..The difference between the Rad
icals and Conservatives is that the lat
ter are is favor of uniting the whole
country on a sure basis of peace and
harmony, while the Radicals seek to
have the Government in their own
hands, by keeping the South unrepre
sented, and ousting _F. resident Johnson.
The Radical Republican Convention.
We rive in to-day's Globe a full re
port of the proceedings of a Radical
.Convention which met in this place
on Tuesday of last week, and wo in
vite our readeis to give it a careful pe
rusal. The platform resolutions are
the important part of the whole, and
taken in connection with • Mr. Whar
ton's declaration that he hated Presi
dent Johnson and his friends worse
than he did the devil, is amply suffi
cient to defeat him in the district.—
After the adoption of the resolutions
we lost all interest in the choice of a
candidate for the Legislature, for we
had made up our mind to oppose any
man accepting such a platform; and
any Johnson man who can support
Wharton before or on• the day of elec
tion can be moulded for any purpose.
It was necessary for Mr. Wharton to
make the pledges he did to secure the
nomination, but unfortunately for him
he and ,his friends went to extremes
and also made certain his defeat before
' the 2d Tuesday of October.
We ask a candid question:—What
claims bas Mr. ,Whartou upon Mr. Bit
leer's friends for their .support? Did
he or:his active working friends in or
'out of the Convention vote for Mr. Ba
ker, or'work for the soldier ticket last
fall ? Where was Mr. H. G. Fisher
last fall? Where was the Journal &
American faction—secretly plotting the
defeat of Mr. Baker, Judge Beaver and
John Flenner, three of the best mon
on the ticket. Can Mr. Wharton for
a moment suppose that the friends of
the soldiers' ticket last fall will now
agree to eat dirt—that they will now
rally to his support with more earnest
ness than he and his friends rallied to
their support last fall ? If they can,
they will be deserving the contempt
of those of their friends who fought the
battle through and saved them from
defeat.
Some of the candidates we can sup
port as individuals but not as nomin.
ees of the party, and at another time
we shall take pleasure in naming them.
That at least a portion of the ticket
will be defeated is already a fixed fact.
Guerrillas can not ride rough shod
over the honest voters of what was
once a Union party. All Republicans
are not Radicals, and they cannot be
forced to occupy now the position the
"Copperhead" leaders did during the
war. Then to be right was to be a
Union man—now, to be right, we
must support no man for office who is
not in favor of a speedy restoration of
the Union, in compliance with the do.
mands of the Constitution.
11EV'The Radicals are using every
effort to excite the sympathies or
arouse the animosities of the people.
Not content with the four years of
blood and destruction which depopula
ted the country and devastated the
South, they now endeavor to bring on
another war, which will envelop the
whole country, and which will be
wagea with as much fierceness North
as it was in the South. A riot or a
war is what they seek, the tendency;
of which would be, perhaps, to . oust
President Johnson, and destroy the'.
best . Government on earth. A bloody,
ceaseless war can not be averted if the
Radicals persist in their course. The
only way to prevent it is for good
Union men everywhere to frown upon
the Radicals in their murderous at.
tempts to destroy the Government,
which our soldiers fought so bravely
to defend, and for which so much trea
sure was expended, during the recent
four years of • strife. Wo know the
good men in the Radical ranks disaps
prove the course of the more virulent
Radical journals, and if it only has the
effect which it should have—of their
constituents censuring them—we can
rest satisfied. Arguments have failed,
and now they have recourse to inflam
matory appeals and incendiary illus
trations. 01 that those who follow
the Radical leaders could only see
where they are being led, and should
flee the wrath to come.
THE ISSUE Usrmairroon.Lancaster
county instructs her four Representa
tives and two Senatorial nominees to
support Thad. Stevens for United
States Senator, with the positive un
derstanding that should he withdraw
as a candidate ho is to have complete
control of their votes for any other
candidate he may name. And this
arrangement is endoreed by all the
proniinent radicals in the State. • It
will not do any longer to deny that
Stevens is the master spirit and leader
of the Republican party of the State.
If it should succeed at the next elec.
tion, the extreme radical measures
which failed during the late session of
Congress, will again be brought before
that body and forced upon the people.
It will be for the people to say how
near the precipice of destruction Thad.
Stevens will he permitted to drag our
country.
111Zr.lf the Radicals only had Presi
dent Johnson out of the road, they
could have things their own way.-,
This is what they are now attempting
to have dono, and they will endeavor
to succeed by every foul means they
can devise. Their first object is to
inaugurate another war, and like the
rebels they will then march towards
Washington, and thus attempt to de
stroy the Government. A war is ine
vitable, if the Radicals are encouraged
in their denunciation of the President

• DISAPPOINTED.-WO witnessed sev
eral attemptsin Pbiladelphia,last week,
to create a riot, a❑d we were aston
ished that the radicals were not grati
fied. In almost every instance, after
a failure to make a disturbance, "my
friends" would report progress at the
Press office where Mr. Forney would
address them. Their conduct in front
of tho Continental and Girard was well
calculated to get up a fight, but their
insults were treated with almost silent
contempt. A riot would have been
just the thing for the radicals to spread
themselves upon, but they failed to got
the ball in motion. Those engaged in
the attempt were principally young
men—having nothing to lose, and they
were "my friends."
THE PEOPLE TO BE CONSULTED.-
Andrew Johnson has again shown
himself the Champion of the peoplo in
his tologram to the New Orleans au
thorities. I 1 tells them to call on Gen.
Sheridan for troops enough to main
tain law and order. That must be se
cured at all hazards ! And if a Con
vention is to be held to revise the or
ganic law of the State of Louisana, let
the people of the whole State be con
sulted on the subject. A. clique have
no right to monopolize business of this
important nature in violation of Re
publican Government. The conspira
tors of Louisiana, like the conspirators
in Washington or elsewhere, are re
buked by Andrew Johnson, the cham
pion of Constitutional Liberty.
.Thad Stevens in his speech at
Lancaster on Wednesday 144, said :
"We are influenced too much by
those persons from foreign lands who,
while in search of freedom deny that
blessed boon to them who are their
equals."
We don't think the negroes aro the
equals of the .foreigners, who have as
sisted in making this a great country.
The National Union Convention.
We give below the speech of Gen
Dig, temporary chairman of the Con
vention, and the platform resolutions
The balance of the proceedings in ful
will be found in an accompanying Ex
tra. Read everything.
Speech of Gen. John A. Dix.
Gentlemen of the Convention and Fel
low Citizens of the Whole Union : I re.
turn to you my sincere thanks for the
honor you have done me, in choosing
me to preside temporarily over your
deliberations. I regard it as a distinc
tion of no ordinary character—not
only on account of the high moral and
political standing of the gentlemen
who compose this convention, but be
cause it is a convention of the people
—[clieers]---of all the States of the
Union and because it cannot fail, if its
proceedings are conducted with har
mony and good judgment, to lead to
most important results. It may be
truly said that no body of men has
met upon this continent under circum
stances so momentous and so delicate
since the year 1787—[applause]—the
year when our ancestors assembled in
this city to frame abetter Government
for the States that were united under
the old Confederacy—a Government
which has been made more enduring,we
trust, by the fearful perils and trials it
has encountered. The Constitution
they came here to frame we are here
to vindicate and restore. We are hero
to assert the supremacy of represen
tative government over all who are
within the confines of the Union—a
Government which cannot permit the
violation of •its principles, or of the
protection it extends to the people
who are represented in it, over those
Who, by entire representation, are en•
titled to a voice in the administering
of public affairs. [Applause.] It was
such a Government our fathers framed
and put in operation. It is the Gov
ernment which we are bound by every
consideration of fidelity, justice and
good faith to defend and to maintain.
[Applause.]
Gentlemen, we aro not living under
' such a Government. Thirty-six States
have for months been represented by
twenty-five. Eleven States have been
wholly without representatives in the
legislative body. That numerical pro
portion of the represented and unrep
resented has been changed by the ad
mission of the delegation from Tennes
see—a unit taken from the smaller and
added to the larger number. Ton
States are still denied the representa
tion in Congress to which they are en
titled under the Constitution. It is
this wrong which wo have come here
now to protest against, and, as far as
in us lies, to redress. [Applause.]
When the President of the United
States declared that armed resistance
to the authority oftho Union was over,
all the States had a right to be repre
sented in the legislative body. [Ap
plause.] They had the right under the
Constitution ; they had the right under
resoulutions passed by both Houses of
Congress in 1851, (those resolutions
were not concurrent, but they were
substantially identical); moreover they
were entitled to be so represented on
other grounds,on those of fairness and
good faith. The Proident, not in par
nuance of any constitutional power,
had called on the confederated States
to accept the conditions of their admis
sion to the exercise of their legitimate
functions as members of the Union--
the ratification of the amendment to
the Constitution abolishing slavery and
the repudiation of the debts contracted
to overthrow the Government. These
conditions were met and accepted.
The exaction of new conditions is un
just—a violation of the faith of the
Government, subversive of the princi
ples of our political System, and dan
gerous to the public prosperity and
peace. [Applause.] Each House of
Congress may, as the judge of the
qualifications of its own members, re
ject individuals for just cause; but the
two bodies acting conjointly cannot
exclude entire delegations without be
ing guilty of an unwarrantable assump
tion of power. Congress has not only
done this—it has gone further; it has
incorporated now conditions into
amendments to the Constitution sub
milted for the ratification of the States.
There is no probability that these
amendments will be ratified by three
fourths of the States of this Union.
To insist on the condition contained in
them is to prolong indefinitely the ex
clusion of more than one quarter of
the States from their representation in
Congress. [Applause.]
Is this the Government that our fit
tilers fought to establish? ["No," "no."]
Is this the Government we have been
fighting to preserve? [-No."] The
President has dOne all in his power to
correct this wrong [applause]; to re
store the legislative body to its full
proportion .by givimg to all the mem
bers of the Union their proper share
in the public councils.
Legislation. without representation
is an anomaly under our political
system. Under any other form of go
vernment it would be but another
name for usurpation and misrule.
Gentlemen, i trust that in our delib
erations hero we shall confine our
selves to ono main purpose, that of
redressing the wrong to which I have
referred. There is much in the ad
ministration of the Government that
needs amendment; some things to be
done and others to be undone. There
are commercial and financial reforms
which are indispensable to the public
welfare; but we shall not have the
power to carry out these until we
change the political complexion of
Congress. [Applau,se.] This should
be our first, our immediate aiin. It
is in the .Congressional districts that
the vital contest is to take place. The
control of one body wilt enable us to
prevent partial, unjust and pernicious
legislation; the control of both Rouses,
with the power to introduce and to
carry out salutary reform, to bring the
Government back, in the language of
Jefferson, to "the republican track,"
will come later. But with wise, har
monious and judicious action on our
part, and on the part of those we rep
resent, it need not be long delayed. I
believe that public opinion is right;
that it is only necessary to present to
the people clearly the issues between
us and the ultraism which controls the
action of Congress. Ah 1 gentlemen,
is not the object for which we are con
tending a consummation worthy of our
highest and our most devoted efforts?
It is that of bringing back the Repub
lic, of purifying it, and restoring it,
after the fiery ordeal through which it
has passed, to its ancient 'prosperity
and power [applause], of presenting
to the world an example worthy of
imitation—no Utopian vision of good
government, but the grand old reality
of the better times ["good"] with
which the memory of our fathers, the
recollections of the past, and all our
hopes of the future are inseparably en
twined—ono country, ono flag, one
Union of equal States.
[Great applause, during which the
chairman resumed his seat.]
Platform Resolutions of the National
Union Party.
The National Union Convention,
now assembled in the city of Philadel
phia, compoSed of delegates from eve
ry State and Territory in the Union,
admonished by the solemn lessons
which, for the last five years, it has
pleased the Supreme Ruler of the uni
verse to give the American people;
profoundly grateful for the return of
peace; desirous as a large majority of
their countrymen in all sincerity to
forget and to forgive the past; revering
the Constitution as it came to us from
our forefathers; regarding the Union
in its restoration as moro sacred than
ever; looking with anxiety into the fu
ture as of instant importance, hereby
issues and proclaims the following de
claration of principles and purposes,
on which they have with perfect unan
imity agreed:
First—We hail with gratitude to
Almighty God, the end of war and the
return of peace to our afflicted and be
loved land.
Second—The war just closed has
maintained the authority of the Con
stitution, with all the powers which it
confers, and all of. the restrictions
which it imposes upon the General
Government unabridged and unaltee.
ed, and it has preserved the Union,
with equal rights, the dignity and au
thority of the States perfect and unim
paired.
Third—Representation in the Con
gress of the United States, and in the
electoral college, is a right recognized
in the Constitution as abiding in every
State, and as a duty imposed upon its
people, fundamental in its nature, and
essential to the existence of our repub
lican institutions, and neither Congress
nor the General Government has any
power or authority to deny this right
to any State, or to withhold its enjoy
ment, under the Constitution, from the
people thereof.
Fourth—We call upon the people of
the United States to elect to Congress,
as members thereof, none but men
who admit this fundamental right of
representation, and who will receive
to seats therein loyal Representatives
from every State in allegiance to the
United States, Subject only to the con
stitutional right of each HOURO to judge
of the election returns and the quali
fications of its own members.
Sixth—The Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and laws made in pursu
ance thereof, are the supremo law of
the land, anything in the constitution
or laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding. All powers not con
ferred by the Constitution upon the
General Government nor prohibited
by it to States, are reserved to the
States or to the people thereof, and
among the rights thus reserved ;o the
States is the right to prescribe qualifi
cations for the elective franchise there
in, which right Congress cannot inter•
fern with. No State or combination of
States has a right to withdraw from
the Union, or to exclude; through their
action in Congress, or otherwise, any
other State or States from the Union.
The Union of these States is perpetual
and cannot be dissolved.
Sixth—Such amendments to the
Constitution of the United States may
be made by the people thereof as they
may deem expedient, bnt only by the
mode pointed out by its provision. In
proposing such amendments, whether
by Congress or by a Convention in
ratifying the same, all States of the
Union have an equal and indefeasible
right to a voice and vote thereof
Seventh—Slavery is abolished—for
ever prohibited—and there is neither
desire nor purpose on the part of the
Southern States that it should ever be
re-established upon the soil or within
the jurisdiction of the United States,
and the enfranchised slaves in all the
States of the Union should receive, in
common with all their inhabitants,
equal protection in every right of per
son and property.
wo regard as utter
ly invalid, and never to be assumed or
made of binding force, any obligation
incurred in making war against a
State, we hold the debt of nations to
be sacred and inviolable, and proclaim
our purposes in discharging this duty,
as in performing all other national
obligations, to maintain unimpaired
and unimpeached the honor and faith
of the Republic.
Ninth—lt is the duty of the Nation
al Government to recognize the ser
vices of the federal soldiers and sailors
in the contest just. closed by meeting
promptly and fully all their just and
rightful claims for the services they
have rendered the nation, and by ex
tendinr, to those of them who have
survived, and to the widoWs and or
phans of those who fell, the most gen
erous and considerate care.
Tenth—ln Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, who, in his
groat office, has proved steadfast in
his devotion to the Constitution and
laws and interests of his country, un
moved by persecution and undeserved
reproach, having faith unassailable in
the people and in the principles of free
government, we recognize a Chief
Magistrate who is worthy the nation
and equal to the great crisis upon
which his lot is cast; we tender to him
in the discharge ofhis high and respon
sible duties our profound respect and
assurances of our cordial and sincere
support.
The reading of the resolutions was
frequently interrupted by bursts of
applause, and the close theaudience
rose en ?nasse to give vent to their sat
isfaction.
