That eireunistances scent-to show that Mil. Lewis has received a sufficient sum from the Philadelphia Convention to carry on his traitorous work against the best man in the political field without continuing the subscriptions." We heard of the passage of the res olution about noon, and expecting a rush at our office during the afternoon, we denied ourself the pleasure of hear ing' the speaking and remained at home with our books open. We wait ed, and waited, until five o'clock with out receiving a call, when Mr. Shontz, the mover of the resolution, entered ells office and ordered his paper to be discontinued. This was the first and last . charge made upon us during the whole. afternoon and evening in corn-1 pliance With the earnest request of the l resolntion, btit before mr. Shontz had r got out of . our office, three gentlemen took his place on our book and paid us $2 each, and when , wo closed our office id the evening Nio had lost Mr. Shontz's suhScription and entered nine new ones. - iVe,,lost several during the forenoon, bat only one one-horse League issued its order to the' faithful.

But we Would rather have the evidence. The condi 7 tion, of, our, pocket book don't give proof .of having received any funds from the Philadelphia Convention. ,We wish it was otherwise. .... ; ,4 pretty full_ report of the proceed ings of the meeting will; be fourci in another part of this : paper. We have not heard of any strength made to the radical cause,' but we do know of three-men who Came, to town as Radicals, ppposed to Johnson, going home -ffivor of Johnson and opposed to the`tadield party and its candidates. The6d ,work goes on--and must g pircoood. . • , fte - We'were ptisitive. wl3en we left tha • .Democratic: organization in '6l, because as we believed it Sympathised with the Disunioniats—and .we are .dijist as positive now . in leaving what was the Union party, during the war, because we believe it is in sympathy WitV'the Disunionisti, Thad. 'Stevens, Sumner & 1 00. A's Tarties now stand —(with ten, States asking for-recogni tion,) the Democrats and conservative republicans are the Union men, the Union party—the Republicans as an organizatiii:. are the Disunionists. We simply stand now where we stood during the.war—for the Union—with a National Union organization. ,r IYo }could'rathet defend a posi Lion our cou.scienco Jells us is right and be without a polltical_fliend on earth i "than.to defend what our con ' science tolls us is wrong if by doing so we ,should secure the friendship and support of all Thad.

Those who choose to, play dog can do so--but as for us we know no master. kßrls - .Congress higher authority than .the COnntitution of the United States;—,—if:nor, how can repr,e E entation bo denied the States. Who are Leaders Now? The great Union party of this coun y that Was ; is now nothing more than a faction of radicals under the control and management of a few young men of this place who.wero prominent goer- ' rillas in the party last year, and se cretly or openly worked and voted against the soldier ticket. No wonder that many of the old and honest mem bers of the party stand back in dis gust. The guerrillas have triumphed and it Wati only by mistake that Seine men were nominated who were not upon the "slate" previously arranged by the guerrillas. Guerrillaism and unfaithfulness is now and will hereaf ter he tho'hestrecommendation an ap plicant can offer to secure an office from the party, and we' would not be surpriSed if the most unmanageable voters in the party this fall should he offered the; best..offices next. fall. If we wore not doing our work so open we might:a/most expect to 'have the State Senate; offered Us 'pext fall—but then we are not playing gtierrilla and can't eXpect to be counted in. Guar rillaism: is at a premium (two terms played out;) for • the evidence look at the prOmitionee'of oar 'friend .4r. Ist G. Fisher, the ~Tazirnal.'& American edi tors, and other smaller lights. Wo prefer acting an honorable part—ma king an open opposition to the ticket,, or apart of it At least. 'We will not attempt to stab the ticket in the dark as:most.if not, all the leaders of the party now, attempted to do last fall. Can any body` recollect Of any effort made last fall by any of the leaders for the - success.of the ticket? Those who worked most faithfully .last fall are now forced to' take back seats—taro out in the'cold--and the 'two tone Patriots are: in, : The guerrillas have triumphed . thus far, aud..they feel that they have the faithful nucles their feet where they expect'te keep them. GRANT ALT, RIGHT.—:iMajOr General Grant, it will bo seen by reading the ProsidenCs,speook on our outside, stands !‘ishoulder to shoulder'' with 'Presidant Johnson. Tho Radicals can claim any Gtnieraltfiey may, but such solid men as Grant, Sherman and Sher idan,.. know very well what the war was for,.and how the South should be treated now that it has been subcied. The same position as taken by General Grant is being taken by 'a largo Major ity of 'the solid Union :officers and sol diers. You cannot get a true Union soldier, unless be is of the Thud. Ste- Nous school of politicians, - to denouce President Johnson, but you can got any number to denounce Congress for its radical course against peace and harmony. Jae-There can be no- mistaking- MI6 issue of the day—Union or no Union. It is not difficult for a man to decide for the. Union, if ho only throws aside his prejudices against the people of the South. The rebels of the South fought for disunion, and shall we now gratify them by the ballot, After wo have de footed them by the, bullet? The bon estzpeople of the South want to got back' into the Union, and they are on ly the . secret traitors' in the South who aid, the Radicals, because they know them to be • Disunionists. They are the Unionists of the South- now. who met in the Philadelphia • Convention, and they will be the Disunionists of the South who will meet in the Radical Convention in the same place on the 3d of September next. DED.The important questiOn of the hour, Shall the Southern States be ad mitted into Congress, can only be set. tied by an unbiased and unprejudiced judgment. A man's prejudices should not be permitted' to control his judg. ment... !True,. there has been a groat losi . sustained by Us; but what was it for? Wati it" not to preserve the Union.? All loyal men will admit that it was. And now can we have a Union so long as the South is held in subjec tion and left unrepresented. The beget such a conc:ition oxists the worse will be the fooling at the South. Let - ua 'seek to' have a .Congress that Will not hos4nto to admit tovAi - . South= ern,' representatives, and then wo will have a ,union, harmonious in all its sections: , • . 'Mar Those: opposed to President Johnson ask, Why: don't he punish the traitors ?, We answer,-for the simple reason that he" Im , s not got the power. According ,to the' Constitutiou, Con gress Chas power to punish treason in Individuals, and when it met, President Johnson bad- nothing to do with the punishment of Jeff. Davis or any other leading criminal. Congress adjourned without even sanctioning the trial of Jeff. Davis. Now, what was their reason for so doing , if they had no • sympathy for traitors. But President Johnson has to take the blame. This is unjust. Let Congress take the blame for not . making treason odious. SED-A Qonvontion,of the Soldiers and Sailors who served in the army and navy •of the United States during tho late rebellion will be hold at Claveland, Ohio, on. the 17th of Soptember, to en dorse the policy of President Johnson. It will be another grand demonstration for the'Union. The call is signed by some two hundred of the Most distils guishod officers in the Union army. ra.The Domocrats and Conserva tive Republicans of Allokheny county have nominated a full county ticket On the 'Philadelphia National Union platform, The People MustbeTrusted. The Brooklyn Eagle discusses the question of "What are the True Issues befoLi the Country ?" It charges,with great truth, that the more moderato Republican journals, which still ac• knowledge the leadershipof the Rad• icals who haw) ruined their party, at tempt to deceive thbir readers by re iterating that the issue in the ,olee- Lion is on the adoptiOn of the proposed constitutional amendments. Every man knows that those amendments were not satisfactory to Congress. They worn adopted in the Lope • that the - election could be carried upon them. If the Sutnners and Stevens re ceive a popular indorsement, they Will go further: .They will be emboldened with &renewed lease of power, to lay dew& their tiltindatum, which , is, avow edly, tliat the Southern States Shallnot; be contyolled by the people who live in them. . Tho truth is tho Radicals do not de . - sire any . settletnent between the sec- tions. In the States in which they hold control they have taken no steps. to endorse . the Constitutional Amend• ment. It is intended•for a political issue aadfor nothing clsc. mt.DICA, LS BUG- CliEll IN THIS, THEOTILER SOI!F.:IIL'S,WILL FOLLOW, so long as the people are con. ent to wrangle for the benefit of a faction. Tho Now York Tribune is honest enough to declare - that it will be satisfied with nothing less than ne gro equality, but it fails to tell-its read ers that, military government will be required in ()Very State outside of New 4ngland to maintain it. Less honest Radicals than Greeley say they will be content if tho government of the Southern States can be placed in the hands, of the so - -balled Unionists. They know that this scheme iayolves mili tary geVornments, for there is not one of•the States - in : which the:mon whose patriotism was one in running away from one section and seeking place in another, would be able-to sup-, port a government for, an•hour , unless .they were backed up by outside force. Military Government for the Southern States is, under one pretext or anoth er, what the Radicals want, and they rejoice irrovery, disturbance, which af foids a prOtext for thorn. The Presi dent, on the other hand, proclaims the broad Republican doctrine, "the people must be trusted." If they cannot be, Republican government is at ati end in this country. Let us not conoodo as much until wo make tho trial at all events. nelAVe give on our outside President Johnson's reply upon receiving an offi cial copy of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention. The Radi cals were fooled because Johnson did not attend the Convention, but we think they are fooled a great deal more to find that Gen. Grant stands by the President. Titis is the first speech the President has made for some time, but he shows the people that he stands just where ho always stood, notwithstanding the denuncia lions of his opponents. lie sticks to the cause of truth, and like the immor tal Andrew Jackson ho is determined to stand by the right. Road his speech with an unprejudiced mind, is all we ask: tle_Tho recent National Union Con. vention has had the cffiet of making a consolidatiOn of parties. Consorvativo men of all.parties met to effect a union of the States and an agreciMent be tween the North and Soilth. There aro now but two parties—the one Con• servativo,- the other Radical. Conser vative men seek to unite tho Country, tho Radicals seek to keep it divided. Thero aro those who cannot agree to the otromo notions of such Radicals as Stevens and Forney. These Must now choose between the two parties. What a Radical Admits. The Springfield (Ill.) Republiivn, speaking of th late National Union Convention, admits what can't be de nied by any man. It sayii: "It must ho conceded that the argu ment made by the Philadelphia Con vention for the right of the Southern States to representation is a very strong one. CONSTITUTIONALLY IT IS 'MIMEO NADU." . • WHO ARE - UNION MEN ?-All who are for a complete restoration of the Union under the Constitution,nro, Union men, All who treat the requirements of the Constitution with contempt by denying hiyal representation from the Southern States. are Dis-unionists. The Presi dent is fora Union—Congress is against a Union. It -The :National Union Party is sweeping over the whole Union like the bright sun in a cloudless day. This is the last year of Radical Republican ism. The platform is giving way— we dont intend to be burc.when it falls Union State Convention. A State Convention of the National Union Party will bo held at Harris burg on the 20th of September.' The call of the State Committee will be published next week. Jay-Virho represents the Radical par• ty ? Thad. Stevens of Pennsylvania, a man who says that negroes are the equals of foreigners, and is in favor of the blacks enjoying all political rights equal . with the white man. WHAT DOES IT mEADO—Cameron's friends are perfectly satisfied with the nomination of Wharton and 'Brown.
