Ile will face an enemy to his country by night and by day and all the time—and fight them too. Andy is pluck, and that's what's the matter. The "amendment" so lustily ad vocated by the Radicals and their help, are but a, mere cloak to deceive the people into the support of Radical candidates..and negro suffrage, Elect a Radical Congress this fall and all the political rights a white man has will be given the negro before the adjournment of the next Congress. ,11.t17'>zSecretary Seward, Gen. Grant, Admiral. Farragut, Generals Meade, liancock„Sherman, and .a host of oth ers as able, good and tree men as ever lived, say President Johnson's policy is right. Union men are running no risksJkceping such company—if one is traitor, all are—they are all iu the .. ii s.a . l . 2se boat with the PrOideut. IV-liatever may be said of John S. Miller's FollticaLopinions, no one can in truth say that he was not as liberal in feeding and making comfort= able the soldiers during the war as any other man in town. Hundreds and perhatis thousands of soldiers were fed and sheltered, under his roof at his ex. pease ; and these facts are known to most of our citizens and hundreds of soldiers from this town and county. Ben. :Butler stock is going up amongst the Radicals since he came out flat fooied the Philadelphia mixed:Convention in fa , ior of negro equality. .Ue is now the most popu lar man•in the Radical party to fill the Presidential chair after Johnson leaves it. Fred Douglass may find Butlor hard man to beat for the nomination. We know a number of Radicals here abouts who would sooner vote for Fred than they would .fbr Butler, because Butler has been ‘!nursed in the lap of Pernocraey.":••=-• : -'- Anothei - Caudidatia from-Maine. Why is it that, the Radicals of this Congressional District could not find a candidate froM amongst its own native citizens for Congress ? Tho last candidate ; Mr. Barker, was from Maine-and now they give the people Mr.yor . rel the Johnstown iron master, another candidate.from Maine. The only season offered why such men are preferred by the leaders over old citi zens of the district is that a "dawn east er" is sure to go with Sumner, Stevens Co. on the negro question. They all have the necessary coloring "dip." llon. John Scott couldn't get the nom. illation simply because lie was down on the "fanatics" during the war, and has becu nursed, in 'the- ltp of Demo cracy. Negro Suffrage the Issue, There are somo who deny that Ne gro Suffrage is the issue in the coining campaign, and there aro some ready to believe what their leaders assiduous ly but vainly endeavor to prove. Let us take up the Amendment which the Radical Congress says will reconstruct the Union, if adopted. Tho first Con stitutional Amendment reads as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the Stato wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce, any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without clue process of nor deny to any person within its ju• risdiction the equal protection of the laws." --STEPREN We advise our readers to road this section for themselves. The last two clauses are those proposed by Mr. Thad Stevens in the House on'the 30th day of April, 1806. The first clause makes all persons born or naturalized in the United States citizens of the United States; the second clause gives them the privileges or immunities of citizens; while the third clause gives all persons equal protection of the laws. Dissecting the section thus, wo pro- pose to follow it up. The first clause declares all persons, including especial ly the colored person, as citizens of the United States. It can mean noth ing less than this, and it is so admitted by all Radical speakers. The second clause says, "No State " shall make or enforce any law which "shall abridge the privileges or immu " nities of citizens of the United States." This is the most important clause in the whole section. While the first de clares all persons, white and colored, shall be citizens, the second declares that their rights as citizens shall not be abridged. What does it mean by "privileges or immunities." Webster's definition of "privilege" is: "1. A par ticular and peculiar benefit or advan tage enjoyed by a person, company, or society, beyond the common advan tages of other citizens. 2. Any pecu liar benefit or advantage, not common to others of the human race. SrN. Pre. ro(rative ; immunity ; FRANCHISE ; right; claim; liberty." This is an ac cepted authority, and this is an accep ted definition of the term "privilogc." Now, by ratifying that amendment of Thad Stevens we agree to give the right of suffrage to the negro not only in the South ; but in the State of Penn sylvania; for whatever becomes a part of the Constitution of the United States is the "supreme law of the land." It will not require that it should be pat to vote in Pennsylvania, as was the amendment to give soldiers the right to vote while in the field, which we passed, and is now the law of this State. The plea offered by some is that we cannot vote on amendments to our State Constitution only once in five years. This is true, but yet our law will not be binding which says only white citizens shall have the right to vote, if it becomes the law of the ratified the amendment abolishing sla very in the United States,: and it is now the law of the land, bat yet we did not vote for that amendment di rectly. In the same manner would the last Amendment become a law if it should be ratified. "No State shall enforce a law which shall abridge the privileges, &e.," simply means that Pennsylvania shall not enforce her law depriving negroes of the right to vote, if she ratifies the Constitutional amend ment, or if it becomes a law of the land. There arc those who say that the amendment simply means that the ne gro shall have the right to sue and demand protection in life and proper. ty. It means more than this, and the last clause only, refers to this.: It reads, "Nor shall any State deprive " any person of life, liberty, or prop " erty without due process of law, nor " deny to any person within its juris " diction, the equal protection of the " laws." This clause we deem no more than just and proper, and there is no man who says to the contrary. This is as much of the section as refers to the right of the colored man to suo, &c.— This is the blinding clause. Leave the other two clauses out and we would favor•the section. But as it reads— first declaring ne,groes citizens, and then giving them the rights of citizens to vote,—we cannot bring an evil on the country by conferring such a favor on those who have been the. cause of war and commotion within its borders. When the settling of that right does come, we want it to be when the people South as well as North can be heard through their own Representa tives in Congress, and when the coun try is not distracted as it is at present. If the Radical negro-lovers can think to Profit by this distraction in having their plans carried out, 'we hope our• citizens will show them that they can not. But some will ask, Ought not the negroes be protected in their life and property? We say certainly. They have that protection in Pennsylvania, and that is just what we want in the United States. Imposing anything more than this on any State is unjust. It is now a law that a negro in the Southern States shall have such a right; ‘the guarantee," as Mr. Johnson said in his veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which is now a law, "having been rendered especially obligatory and sa cred by the amendment to the Consti. tution abolishing slavery throughout the United States." The real issue cannot be smoothed over by saying it is only giving the negroes the right to sue,he parties,and give evidence, for they have that right already. Even Thad Stevens, the fra mer of the amendments, says that negro suffrage is the issue in the present-cam paign. And we would rather believe him who knew why ho made the amendments than we would any one who looks at them superficially. .At a meeting at Bedford, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens said : "As I said before the great issue to be met at this election is the question of NEGRO RIGHTS. smut, NOT DENY, BUT ADMIT, that a fundamental principle of the Republican creed, is, that EVERY BEING POSSESSING AN IMMORTAL SOUL IS EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW." l ; i it 18 denied that Mr. Stevens ever uttered this sentiment we have only to refer the reader to Forney's Philadel phia Press, of Monday, Sept. 10, inst., or to the Bedford Inquirer, of the pre. ceding Saturday. His Claims for Support. We have been waiting anxiously for the Jour. d; Amer. to urge the claims of HENny S. WHARTON upon the Republican party. But it has been prudent in that particular, and has not asked for support for Mr. Wharton on the ground that he has been true to his party nominations. Everybody remembers the campaign of last year when a soldier ticket was before. the people. Everybody remembers the campaign of the year previous when Mr. Barker was elected. Does any body remember of Mr. Wharton tak ing any interest in the success of the Union candidate in either campaign - ? Don't every party man remember that Henry S. Wharton ,was dead in poli tics-that ho failed to take• any. part in the-struggle for the success of the Union candidates ? And don't every body in town know that he was con nected with the guerillas who tried to defeat Baker, Beaver and :Renner last fall. And don't everybody know that Wharton was forced upon the ticket this fall by the men who tried to defeat a portion of the ticket last fall ? If the party men of the county owe Mr. Wharton anything for servi ces rendered, and they desire to pay him, his reward should be defeat. He cannot expect better treatment from his party than he gave it when more deserving men than himself were its candidates—as a man Mr. Wharton is a gentleman, as a politician he is for himself, first, last and all the time. Will the Journal (C; American give the people the political programme of Mr. Wharton during the past three years ? Our. Candidate for Congress, HUNTINGDON, Sept. 11, ISGG R. L. JouNsToN ESQ. DEAR SIR :—As a candidate for Con gross, do you endorse the sentiments uttered by the following resolutions unanimously adopted by tho National 'Union Convention, held in Philadel phia August 14. Representation in the Congress of the United States and in the electoral college is a right recognized in the Constitution as abi ding in every State, and as a duty imposed upon the people, fundamental in its nature, and essential to the existence of our republi can institutions, and neither Congress nor the general government has any power or author ity to deny this right to any State, or to with hold its enjoyment under the Constitution from the people thereof. We call upon the people of the United States to elect to Congress, as members thereof, none but men who admit this funda mental 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 constitutional right of each house to judge of the election, returns, and qualifications of its own mem bers. An early reply will oblige, Yours &c. W M. lAWIS EBENBI3IIRG, Sept. 15, 1866 WM. LEWIS, ESQ.,—DEAR SIR' —You r note is before me, and with it the res olutions it refers to. I recognize your right, whether as a voter in my dis trict, or- a journalist, to ascertain the views of any candidate offered for your support; and fortunately for me, I an: able, without any hesitation, to make you a frank and candid reply. I need not tell you that if elected and admitted to a seat in Congress, I should be_required to take an oath to "support the Constitution of the United States." In that instrument I find that, "the Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,"—and that "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, accord ing to their respective numbers" Lte. I believe with the late President Lincoln and his Cabinet—with the Congress which inaugurated the war to put down the rebellion and prevent secession ; with the statesmen in the forum and the soldiers in the field ;—that no State can secede from the Union. All the acts of the Government, in all its de partments,:were based upon the duty of preserving the "Union of the States. For this we labored—for this we. in curred our enormous debt—for this wo gave the lives of our brethren. That the *Union was preserved is not now a matter of argumentit is his tory. Every Southern State is now moving on peacefully under her own Constitution and laws; while the Judi cial Department takes cognizance of every Southern State in the adminis tration of civil and criminal jurispru dence, and the Executive Department collects its proportion of the taxes to pay the National debt, and "takes care that the laws be faithfully executed." If Mr. Stevens, who embodies the radical idea, were asked how many States are in the Union,cven ho Would unwillingly give the same answer as the student in Geography, "thirty six." Yet while any radical would make this answer; and While "our flag," the proud emblem of our nationality, flings its . thirty-six stars to the breeze, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the lakes to_ the gulf—while our gallant tars float the same "starry ensign," on every sea under the Heaven ;----these same radicals, by refusing them that which makes a State, and without which a State cannot exist, would reduce them to subjugated provinces. Believing, then, that every State in the South is entitled to two Senators in Congress, and as many members of the House of Representatives as the act of Congress provides, I can at once "subscribe to the sentiments" of the resolutions to which you rotor. And while, under that other clause of. the Constitution, which makes each House judge of the "qualifications of its Own members," I would refuse a scat to any DISLOYAL member,; and every member refusing to take the test oath prescribed by Congress, I would make the dis qualification a personal one, and not permit it to impair the rights of a Sov ereign State. Hoping you will excuse the crudeness of the foregoing views, arising from the extreme hurry in which they are•written, I remain very respectfully yours, L. JOHNSTON, A Letter from Gov. Johnston, We cut the following noble letter of Governor Johnson from the Juniata Republican : PHILADELPHIA, August 31, 186 G. IT'lltiam M. Allison; Esq.: My Dear Sir—Pressure of official' duties will prevent an acceptance of your kind -invitation to address the people of Juniata. county, at, their meeting on the 4th of September. regret very sincerely that the pleasure is thus denied td tho"pr again meeting many old and .esteemed friends, and conferring with thorn upon the issues now agitating our country and divid ing in senthnent our people. It would have r been a ploasingduty to have been permitted to say to my old acquaint ances that the same cordial and undy ing love for the Union of the States and the supremacy of the Constitution of our fathers still controls, as it has in all times past, my political action I desire no improved, remodeled or Cot ter Constitution and Union than that under which the country has prosper ed in peace, conquered in war, and triumphantly vindicated American liberal institutions at home and abroad. The present confee, for political power involves great and, sacred principles and truths, and upon its decision much of the future, peace; prosperity and progress of. our country depend. In this contest I. shall faithfully and I with what small ability I possess ad vocate and maintain "the unity of the government" !the "nationality of the people" of the United States. I shall ask no "shibboleth" of party, know no sectional scheme or war cries, but ou ter upon, continuos and end the fight under the glorious banner of the na- I tional Constitution. I shall most cor dially unite with all mon, irrespective of former party associations, who are willing to defend these principles and war under this banner. It, is alleged, I am aware, that there is no design upon the part of any political organi zation now existing to destroy or hreak up the Union of the States. The allegation is thus made, and many good men, no doubt, believe in its truth. If no such design is intended, it is manifestly true-that the practical effect of the action of the last Con gress is in that direction, and must re sult, if persevered in or:permitted by the people, in the' . establishment of a System ollaW - S - arcd;: regulations viola tive of the spirit of an equal Union of the States, and StibVersive of the -fun damental truths di', American institu tions. To bring us back tO the'pnrer feeling of the Republic was the purpose of the late Philadelphia convention. The acts and sayings of that assemblage are be fore the people, and submitted to theth for approval or rejection. The result of that decision, there is little doubt, will be rendered in sucbform and force as to settle forever the supremacy of the christian feeling of brotherly kindness that must exist, if wo intend to live together as one people, under ono government: To endorso, as you propose, the act ion of President Johnson in relation to his courageous, patriotic and wise ef forts to restore at the earliest moment the late rebelpdtiO. States, now in full su.biuiasion_ to the , laws—to. fats. under the Constitution, is so manifest ly the duty of every citizen, untram melled by unmeaning bigotry and free from partisan malignities, that I shall be sadly mistaken in the character of niy old neighbors and friends if they do not the work effectually. If national unity, for which our sol diers fought, and the preservation of the Constitution which our fathers framed, constitute your platform,count me in the tight, in spirit, if not bodily presort in your councils and warfare. Very truly yours, &c., . • Wm. F. JOHNSTON. A FRIGHTFUL PICTURE.—What a frightful picture that is which the rad icals portray to their listeners---the rebels with their daggers uplifted ready to strike_ .a death-blow to the Government. Yt is truly dreadful, but indeed wo had that time bad passed.. When:the war - continued wo dreaded the attempts of the rebels,but now that they are subdued, with their arms all taken from them, the military still amongst them, and their leaders either in prison or carefully watched, we thought their hopes of victory bad vanished. What a terrible thing a man's prejudices are? HO dreads a fallen foe, he is not willing to trust his fellow man, be forgets the Divine com mand to "Love thy neighbor as thy self," coupled with the sentiment of the Lord's prayer, to "Forgive us our tres passes as wo forgive those that tres pass against us," and of the Golden Rule which appeals to us to "Do unto others as we would have others do un to us." Let Chriitians not forget their duty to their felkOw mau as taught by the Saviour, in this daY of tribulation. IT CANNOT BE DENTED.—That negro suffrage is the issue in the present earn• paign cannot be successfully denied. The reading of the first amendment to the Constitution,' PROPOSED BY TIIAD. STEVENS, is enough to con vince any man. The Radical speakers, Forney, Stevens, McVeigh and others say that is the issue. here is what Thad. Stevens said on Tuesday a week at Bedford : "As I. said before, the great issue to ho met at this election is the question of NEGRO RIGHTS. I shalt not DENY, but ADMIT, that a fundamental priaci• pie of the Republican creed is that every being possessing an immortal soul is equal before the law." Republicans, aro you willing to say that this is your creed. - If you. do, vote to sustaid:- the Constitutional Amendments::proposed by Thad. Ste vens by voting for Morrel, Wharton and Brown. kefßobert McDivitt has not yet called for the first $5O we offered him to prove by a single man that he vas a man of truth.
