The Convention then took a ra tes*. . The Convention re-assembled at 12 o’clock, Then the Committee on rssolutisns reported the following, which were adopted unani mously: ( Eteofesd, That it is with feelings of deep indignation that we denounce the assassina tion of the late President Lincoln, regarding it as a fanatical and fiendish crime, deserving the unqualified condemnation of oil true and patriotic citizens ; and that we recognize it aa the duty of nil to aid in bringing the as ■assies to justice, that they may reccivo the punishment their crime deserves. Resolved, I'bat we hail with delight the recent victories of our army and navy, be lieving they will tend to stay the work o( death and devastation, to reassert the supre macy of law and order over the entire coun try, and bring us nearer to the day of peace, reconciliation and a restored Union ; and that the noble services of the soldiers of our army and the sailors of our navy, in contributing to this glorious result, have entitled them to the lasting gratitude<of the people; and we be speak for the widows and little ones of those who heave so gallantly yielded up their lives, the protecting care"6f the Government.

For several years past it haa beewVho habit of certain sliiy-at-home cowardtto tall flippantly about " hanging men” who did not agree with them in political ssbtiment.— Many who gave utterance to this mob-law language, were men of position, and nearly all if not all of them were those who had made and were maling fortunes because of the war. They were the “ loyal thieves,") who remained at home, like cowards, and | tyho urged other and better men “to the frontthey were the men who carried ban ners in political processions, containing the ; words “no compromise with traitors." Ac oordiag to their preaching, the war was to go on from month to month and from year to i year, until the whole people of the South ’ were “ killed off." It was not patriotism that prompted these rapacious vnltnres to panne this coarse—it was a sordid desire to aoonmuiate wealth at the expense of our bleeding country. Cor rupt and mercenary preachers—those black sheep, whose “ loyalty" was measured by the number of green-backs they received—were, in many instances, Isadora in this crusade against the best men of onr country. For many years, we say, these blood-suckers been permitted to go on in their work of crime, but now that the war is practically ended. Ire hoped that we had beard the last speech in (avur of mob violence. Not so, however. A few evenings ago a little squad of Harrisburg stay-at-home jacobins held a meeting in the court house, in that city, for the ostensible purpose of giving “ aid and oomfort" to the new administration. The meeting was got up at the instance of the saintly Cakcron— the veritable Siuon ; and Mr. Senator Lowrt was the.principal speak er, who said that “ John Brown was the first martyr to freedom, and Abrahah Lin coln the last." This was not very compli mentary to the dead President, tor John Brown was not only the first open rebel and secessionist, but. he was also a thief and a murderer. But there was another speaker— a Mr. “ A. Jackson Herr, .Esquire," of Har risburg, a young gentleman who, if report can be credited, has not become any poorer because of tbe war. He is the District At torney of Dauphin county, who before ho en tered upon his duties took an oath to defend and support laws, and to see that they were faithfully observed by other men. In his speech be used this most infamous and devilish language. Ho said;, . • “ Those who have defamed our President ought now to call upon the mountain! and bills to cover them. Theg ought to be hung to the first lamp post, 01 marched through the struts to the tune of the rogue’s march." • When we consider that the above words were used by the law officer of Dauphin' county, and that similar language has been uttered all over the country by low black guards, is it to be wondered at that mob vio lence is so prevalent? Are these men (liras and others) aware of the responsibility (hey assume when they, in plain language, ask their hearers to violate the law of the land T Do they think they alone can bang men to lamp posts T And do they suppose that by threats like these they can frighten men or induce them to change their opinions I If they do, they are very much mistaken ; and we can tell them one thing, and that is this -they must stop using incendiary and un 'folli ;he- lawful language ; they must stop giving en couragement to mobs, and henceforth act the part of good citizens; or, failing to do so, reap the fruits of their own teaching. The people, ground down by taxation, are not in the best of humor, and will no longer submit to the taunts and impudence of those who four years ago were not worth a dollar, but who now count their ill-gotten treasure by tens of thousands. The yeomanry of thd country are. beginning to think, and the more they think the more are they .convinced that those who for four long years remained at homo bellowing “ loyalty, loyalty I" had an object in view, and that object was the accumula tun of wealth. Aye, the people will think and they will talk, even' if the brave Herr with rope in band and lamp-post in view, confront them. Now that we are to have peace—for which God bo thanked—the great principles of our Republic—thrf questions discussed by Washington, Adams, Jefterion, Madison and Hamilton —will come up again ifresh before Die people; and with more sig nificance and 'importance than ever. Let every Democrat, whose position, is founded upon the principles of free government and the rights of the people, stand firm. Swiftly as the never ceasing wheels of time, wo are approaching a day in which first principles are to Ira discussed; and in that day the Re publican party with its incongruous elements mast be divided and sub-divided. The man who believes in the doctrines of Jefferson will rally round the Democratic .banner. Bidcctiom or tbz Abut.—A Washington telegram to The Brest of Thursday, says it is generally believed there that during the present month the army will be reduced at least three-fourths; the War Department having to that end already prepared 600,000 blank parafament discharges." Prepartory to the general muster-out, a grand review is expected to take plane a short distance from Washington. Both the armies—Sherman's and Meade's—will be inspected by Lieuten ant Qsneial Grant, after which the muster ing out will take place, and the proportion of troops above stated will be marched away, leaving only sufficient to take care of Texas, if necessary, and do garrison duty through- pacified States. The Vetern Reserve it is said, will be preserved for pro vost duty, and the Regular army, which has been much depleted i>y~the .wair,. will bo re cruited toils full strength.

TflE gCDBKSiIDEfi OF 188. The Herald Uof opinion, *o it lays, that Lxt’t surrender to Q*ist was no ■' compro mise.” *ut jet, notwithstanding this, sage opinion, it ifiu a compromise, and nothing •he, . True, Lac surrendered hid whole army, wagon trains, animals, artillery, everjMng; and for doing this he asked Grant to parole his whole army, and permit hie,men "to re turn to their homes, not to be disturbed by United Stales authority, so long as they ob- : serve their parole and the laws in fores I chert they may reside." Grant paroled Lie and his army on. these terms. Was not that a bargain, a compromise t If not a eumprpt raise, what was it? Had Grant pleased he eonld have eat Lax's army to pieces, for he bad a fores that Ln could not bold out against, but be did not want to shed blood merely for the fun of the thing, and he there, fore opened a Correspondence with Lee which resnlted in the compromise, that was so much' denounced by Bin Butler and other traitor- . one Jacobins. It is well known that Uis “ bold bad men” ; of tha Jacobin faction were ready to make 1 war on Gbakt and the administration, be-' . cause of tbe terms granted Lll. Butler re -1 signed fan position in the army, because he ‘ said “ the etmpromut was too liberaland I yet in the f»oe of these facts, the erudite edi -7 (or of the Herald affects to be very much tick eled boon nse wo spoke of In's surrender as a “ compromise." It was a compromise, we repeat—a wise, humane compromise, credita ble to Gen. Grant and the nation. It was such a compromise as tbe Democrats have contended for for the last three years, and which Gen. Lit says wonld have been agreed upon two year* ago bad our Governmant wan tad it Compromise at times saves a great deal of trouble. No war would have occurred bad the Jacobins agreed to the Crit tindin compromise—the compromise so stro 'nonaly supported by Andrew Johnson, and' as strongly opposed by Burner, Hale,' Wil son, Jtu Lane, and others, of the same kid ney. Hud a few- leading political dema gogues and fortune-seekers been banished from tho country at that time, as they should have been, wo would havo been saved the civil war that desolated our fair land. John Brown fired tbe first gun and shed the first blood in tho war-ha was tho first open 1 traitor, the first rebel—but yot his memory 1 is revered by York Tribune, For- ! nit's Press and the —Carlisle Herald . The reference oor neighbor makes to the Chicago Convention bag neither point nor truth in it. That Convention contained the purest and most disinterested patriots in onr land. Political gamblers, shoddyites, and of* Bee-seekers wore not'rtcre; but true men, whore lives had,been devoted to' their conn try, and by whose assistance our people bad been made great, prosperous and hippy. It was a sad day for the country when the ad vice of such men was disregarded ; a sad day when the people gave ear to tbs ravings of fanatical fools, North and South. For their folly in not adhering to the warnings of Washington and the old fathers, they'have severely suffered. We hope the lesson, se vere ns it has been, may teach the people not to put their trust in that party whose leaders have for thirty years been sending petitions to Congress praying for a dissolution of tho UniSn, who worship the memory of' the trai or, John Brown, and who have stigmatised -the American flag as “ a flaunting lie." WHO TAUGHT ASSASSINATION f Iq our last issue we proved beyond doubt that if the puritan abolitionists did not openly advocate the assassination of Presidents Jackson and Buchanan, they at least attemp ted to palliate the crime by excusing the criminals. We have now Brittle additional testimony to add to that, wh'iob shows)that they have net only been excuserr of assassins but have taught assassination and boasted of having men ready and willing to carry it out upon the person ol their own President should he pursue, a certain course. In August, of last year, Deeon Gray, a leading abolitionist of Ohio, wrote a letter, over bis* own signa ture, which was published in the Ohio L State Journal, the organ of the abolition' party in Ohio, from which wo clip the following ex-, tract: “1 like the spirit of the Major in command of the 60th Ohio. , When, in bis presence, the question was presumptuously asked, “ Shall wa eventually have to compromise V’ He turned with a withering look and said ; “ I entered the campaign with over SOO men; to-day l ean muster 192, and I tall you that if the, President hints even at ’compromise,* THERE ARB 192 ASSASSINS IN MY COMMAND READY TO MARCH, solitary and alone, T.O THE WHITE HOUSE.’ We ■wish our friends at home had this spirit—Hit the spirit of the Federal army, who bear, the burden." . - Is this not enough t When the mystery that hangs around the assassination of Abra ham Lincoln is unraveled, it may, and we haye no doubt will, show to the world, puri taniem as the guilty perpetrator of the bloody deed. When John Brown expiated his crime for the murder of innocent and defenceless oitxens of Harper's Perry, on the gallows, at Charlestown, Virginia, the whole abolition party of tbe North deified him and sang pe sos in his praise. Now, when Abraham Lincoln has fallen by the band of an assas sin, a large portion of the same party imme diately recognize the band of Ood in tbs oc currence, and say that it was done that a sterner and • more 1 merciless man might be come chief magistral. “Strange, and yet 'tie not strange’’ that in one case an assassin should be made a God, and in the other that God shoald be made nn assassin.

They did not go into the army; but they supplied the nitrty with such necessaries as'were needed, at a very hand -1 some profit—to themselves. They did not risk life' or limb in battle, hot how could they, when the civil service at home required able-bodied individuals at high salaries to fill comfortable offices 1 They have made contri butions, oo doubt, to tlii Sanitary and Chris tian Commissions, but hare they not received back those contributions an hundred Ibid in Government patronage f Some of them may havo^ fought the bettleeof the Union through proxies' procured at the county prison, but only at about a half-price cost, and it is well known that although people generally have found it as much as they oould’do to keep the wolf from their doors duridg the years of war, all of these “ loyal” individuals have been living op the fat of the land and adding acres of land, brick bouses, and other valua bloproperty to their possessions, , ~ ' We have always admired that kind of loy alty which shouldered Its musket, and leav ing behind a lucrative business, a father, a mother and sisters; a wife and dosr children, marched forth to battle in support of the flag and the Government. In that there waa sac rifice and there was service of the right sort. The men who have thut shown their loyalty are the patriots and heroes, and not those able-bodied lip-service men, who,.hiding be hind stimulated bodily infirmities, or a pre text of “ fighting the foes in the rear," hung, throughout the war, to their homes and the public teat with the tenacity of barnacles.

Unions Now and Thin.— ln the winter of 1860-51, Andrew Johnson, then Senator from Tonnes* see, delivered a speech, in which he pro nounced these words; ' “ 1 think, sometimes, it would he almost a God-send if Massachusetts and Sooth Caroli na could be joined' together like.the Siamese Twins,* and separated from the Government, and taken off into some remote, some seclud ed part of the ocean, and fastened there, to be washed by the. waves and cooled by the winds." ■ Will Andrew Johnson, now President of the United' States, stiok to bis old belief in such God sends 1 The Kilkenny Cate joined together and hung over a clothes line, did a good thing in that way. ' A Goon.

This is a good beginning, the nomitiga ted, uncalled for outrage of political partisan arrests, is the'psosfe damning stain npon the history of our government.

Tim creation of national debts ie not a noderii'improvement, butths ability of a Rreat natibntoprovido fora groat debt, and to wake it tbs most ooav««sent and beet form of personal property, is a Modern wonder,— fha, debt' of Great Britain was began by railing * million sterling by loan io 1692, and when her great contest with Lears XIV. was terminated, the debt Lad reached fifty millions. Many statesmen and economists were then alarmed fit the great burden which hod been impoaod npon the industry of the country, butwhen tbe war of the, Austrian ■succession had swelled this amount to eighty millions, Macaulay says that historians., and' orator* the case to be desperate, But when war again broke Cu t, and the na tional debt wae rapidly carried up to one hun dred and forty millions, men of theory and business both pronounced that tho fatulday had certainly arrived. David llumo said, that, although, by taxing its energies to the utmost, the country might possibly live through it, the experiment maetnorer be re peated—even a small increase might.be fa tal Granville said the nation must sink un der it unless some portion of the load was borne by the American Colonies, and the at tempt to impose this load produced the war of the revolution, and, instead of diminishing, added another hundred millions to the bur den. Again, eaya Macaulay, was England given over, but again she was more prosper ous than aver before. But whan at the close of her Napoleonic wars in 1810, this baht had been swelled up to tho enormous sum of oyer sight hundred millions sterling, or four thou sand three hundred million dollars, or near ly one half the entire property of tho United Kingdom, tho stoutest heart, tbs firmitt ba liever in national development, might well have been appalled. But in the Tory faoe of this mountain of obligation,—to say nothing of hfer vast colonial possessions,—the proper ty of the British nation has been more than trebled, and her debt is now a ebarge of but 12J per cent, against it. All that Great Britain has dons io paying her debt, we shall do, more, with oars. ‘ We have vast territories untouched by the plow, mines of all preoions metals of which we have hard ly opened the doors, a population full ol life, energy, enterprise and industry, and the ac cumulated wealth of money and labor of tbv old countries pouring into the lap of our gi ant and syer-to-be-united republic. During the fiercest and most exhausting of ail possi ble wars, we have demonstrated our national strength—and all the world over,, national strength is but’another name for national credit. "As good as United Stocks" will soon ffe synonymous the world over with “ as good as British Consols." For our part, we think a U. S. Treasury note, bearing seven and three-tenths annual interest, is just as ranch better thsn British Consols as the rats of interest is higher.

Their feelings toward it were, to use the mild est language compatible with the truth, suf- doubtful to make it necessary for them to indulge in some public display that would serve to define their position. With Democrats this was not necessary, Carrying the flag of the Union in their hearts; and feeling and knowing that they had al ways been true to it, they saw no necessity for waving it all day from their windows, or crying out for it at every .corner of the street.' They did not worship it with the crazy zeal of new .converts, because they were not new converts; and they made no effort to rival the noisy patriotism of their V loyal" neigh bors, because,they did not need to drown the recollection of anything theybad said or dons.

In any ordinary war conscription never need be resorted to among our people. Those of tb6 North and the South, will bo alike ready to' defend the interests and honor of.the nation. Many have been the ntrangs scenes wit nessed about the Provost Marshal’s offices.— There has . been . brutality .and harshness, about most of them, corruption and fraud about not a.few of them, and revolting occur- about nil of thorn. They have boon marts in which men have openly trnffiioed in the lives l of hitman beings, We have seen a drunken beast pf a father, who had already sold .one son as a. substitute to satisfy the craving for strong drink, ready to perjure himself in regard to'the age.of another, an tangrowu boy, whom he had bribed to leave hotpe, inspite of the tears and protestations of » hesijptdjroken mother. The miserable wretch war very eager to effect a, sale. The faot'that the.son he bad Sold before had died of disease contracted in camp could not more him, the tears of,his wretched wife could not influence him. The, boy's .life wqt worth tnoneyt and he wos willing to sell.him, soul and bfldy. It is perfectly safe to say, that the variqns Provost Marshals’ offices of this Strto ; and, elsewhere, have witnessed more disgusting dickers in human flesh than over disgraced any slave mart, in the South. We, are heartily glad they are to bo shut up. The people will never desire to seem them re-o pened.—Lancaster Intelligencer. Anothee Coverohue.—The army, of Gen.

Leo, viz —bo officers to n tain their aide-arras and horses, and with the rank and file, to.be undisturbed by the Fed eral authorities so long as they submit to the laws of the United States. This is a compro • mite with rebels in arms, and proves only what history teaches, that in ail great national dis putes, the arbitrament of war is not, of itself, sufßcent to decide,but that, diplomacy and negotiation must finally conclude what sword and.oannon began.
