Five delegates were elected to the Pitts

an ardent supporter of .Mr. Ci.vmick; and
resolutions were adopted denouncing the
radical disnnionists in Congress, declar
ing that the .Southern States are entitled

their opposition to negro suffrage, and
endorsing the policy of Axiutuw Joii.v

The proceedings of tbU Convention
have fallen like a bomb-shell into the ra
dical camp, ami the visages of the Aboli
tion managers of Cumberland county are
as woc-he-goiio as if they were just return
ing from the funeral of their nearest rela
tive. The conduct of the select few who
sought to control the Convention was ri
diculously absurd. They were astounded,
stupefied hy the overwhelming
voice of the soldiers against thorn and
their disunion projects. Their paper (h.-n

buttery. Could it he possible (hat (lie
-oldiers would turn against the mei> who
had supplied them with rotten pork and
■dtoddy garments? Were the “hoys in

nant “ copperheads ? M They would have
no affiliation with such miscreants, and

dignity of Too.mbs, .Sr.innr.i. and Wic-

cession of (In' “ hoys in black’’ from the
" hoys in blue." Their withdrawal crea
ted considerable merriment among the.
anldh r* : hut the Convention proceeded
with its business, totally unconscious of
the vast amount of respectability, loyalty,
Intelligence and virtue which had with
drawn from its deliberations.
Tliis Convention sealed tile fate of Gen.

soldiers of his own county—by tilt? men

him—by those who know exactly (lie val

has been swept away by the indignant
scorn of Hie drilling soldiers of f'umhcr

whom followed the Stars ami Stripes

defunct than a "dead duck." Thu sol
diers meant this as no idle declaration,
nor did they merely intend to pay II nos
■rim t’I.v.MKH an empty compliment.—
They are organizing for the campaign ;
a standing committee lias been appointed
and elidis are to lie started everywhere;
and among the soldiers of Cumberland
county alone an overwhelming majority
will be rolled up against the .Stevkx.s-
Fdiixkv disunion candidate for Governor.
An cflbrt will doubtless lie made to make
il appear that (his was a " copperhead"

look part ie. it and remained in it to (he

Democratic ticket in their lives, lint that
they could not and would not support

will I»e found in another column. Those

long been reeogni/.ed as “ leaders In Isra

good .standing of the immaculate Ann.\-

should entitle them (o a lair hearing from

they seem to have grown decidedly “ eop

Surely the party which went out of the

to he aide to swallow a lit tie “ copperhead

What under the skies are our disunion

This serenade demonstrated the fact
that at least two of President Jo HA'S ox's
Cabinet ollicers are not with him, and the
sooner lie dispenses with their services
the better. The Democratic party do not
ask for oliices or patronage. They recog

round himself with friends, no mutter

President Johnson and the members of
his Cabinet were serenaded, on Wednes
day evening of last week, by the “Na
tional Union Club” of Washington, at
tended by ii large concourse of citizens
numbering several thousands. It will be
seen that every member of the Cabinet
who spoke endorsed the general policy of
the President. Even Secretary Stanton,
who it was known ditt'erod with the Pres
ident on some of the minor details of his
policy, responded to the call of the club,
declaring that the question of negro suf
frage belonged exclusively to the States,
and condemning the report of the recon
struction committee in unmeasured terms.
After serenading tire President, who
briefly expressed his thanks for the com
pliment, tlio party proceeded to the resi
dence of the Secretary of State. In the
absence of Ml'. Seward, who was on a vis
it to his homo in New York, the compli
ment was acknowledged by Mr. Fred.
Seward, who said;
‘‘ IT.u.uw (Tn/.KXs: In behalf of the -Seerotnry
of State I thank you .siru-eroty for this manifesta
tion of yonrkindness. I regret that lie is nothero
to-night, fov I am sure It would gtvehtmpteasure
to witness and share in your demonstration of
patriot ie feeliue, of tldellty to the Unlpn and ap
preciation id' the wise Wirt earnest efforts of the Prcs
nlrnt for its restoration. (Cheers.”)
The Secretary of the Navy was next
called upon. In acknowledgment of the
compliment, M. Welles said;
“ I thankyou, gentlemen, for this compliment,
which i suppose is to the administration audits
policy, H'hirh nr, onn and all, approve. ICheorsd —
You need not expect ally remarks from me, for I
do not intend to make any. Van arc, one and

Tlio Secretary of War was next Serena
ded, and in reply Mr. Stanton delivered
an elaborate and carefully written speech.
Among oilier tilings he said;
“ Xo one hotter than Mr. Johnson understood
Iho solemn duty imposed upon the national Ex
ecutive to maintain the national authority vin
dicated at so groat a sacrifice, and tlio obligation
not to sutler the just fruits of so tierce a struggle
and of so many bullies and victories to slip away
or tarn to ashes. In many speeches to delega

Uled by education, or by actual service as sol
diers, who ventured their life for their govern
ment. My own mlml inclined lo this view, but
after a calm and free discussion, my .judgment
vielded to the adverse arguments, resting upon
the practical dUUcuUles lo bo encountered in
such a measure and lo I he President's conviction,
f/ntt to fou'serihe thr rule of .vajbw/e icon vot v'Uh'm the
fcrfif 'iiinto KCnjte of /h.s' poivrr."
He then refers) to the views expressed
by the President in regard to the freed
nien, and says:
“ Those views of the president In relation to the
ireedmen received, and continue to receive, my
hearty concurrence. They have guided the iie
lion nfliie War Department, and were substanti
ally advocated in its annual report.'*
And concludes us follows ;
Another measure of series of measures of prime
importance now pending before Congress merits
a brief remark, namely, (ho plan of restoration,
or reeonst met ion, ns it is sometimes call. d. To
the plan icported by thejoint eommillce, 1 have
not been aide logivemy assent. Heontemjdate.s
an amendment to tin* Federal Constitution, the
I bird section of t lie proposed article being in these
terms:
“ Seel lon Third. Until the -hh day of July in
I he year isjit, all persons who voluntarily adher

fort shall he excluded from the idght to vote for

-siato.'* It is urged by tin* advoeales of lids plan
that tills third seet hints the vital one, without
which the olliers are ol no avail. Its exclusive
action will no doubt commend it to tin* minds
of many as a wise and Just provision, but I am

be i he e.md it ion of i In* country, m»r wind proofs
»f present ami future loyalty may he gr, en. an
absolute constitutional bur Is v» erected for
four years against a large class of persons. Change
nl' eirrumstjinces and condition often works rab
id change in party or political sentiments, and
nowhere with more marked result than in thu
-Mini h. It is believed that elements ofchangeare
now at work Dim*, stimulating on one side to
loyally and on the oilier lending to continued
hostile feelings. In my opinion, every proper
incentive to I’ninn should be fortified and cher
ished; and for Congress |o limit Its own powers
by a constitutional amendment for the period of
four year,-, might bo deplorable mUs results. To
'.hose who differ fauard tho same honesty and
perhaps greater wisdom than I can claim myself.
As tin* proposed plan now stands. I am unable to
penvive the necessity, Just ice or wisdom of the
measure.
1 [on. Hugdi McCulloch, Secretary ul'the
TivuMiry, wus next culled uu,!uul said
r’m.i.ow (TnzKNs: Von are aware that lam
not in the habit- of making speeches, and I take
a for granted, there fore, that in making this call
upon me you Intended only to pay mo a passing
compliment ami not to elicit from me any ex
tended remarks. I shall not disappoint you. I
shall not be so ungrateful for your kindness as to
intiietupon yon a speech. My position, gentle
men, in reference to the issues which are now en-
gaging Lite public attention are not, i apprehend,
misunderstood by you. (Cheers.) 1 took occa
sion hist fall, among my old friends in Indiana,
to delinc my position, and sinee that time I have
seen no occasion to change, much less to aban
don it.
I will say, therefore, as I suppose 1 nuisl say
something on this occasion, that the general pol
icy of the President in reference to tlu* .Southern
-mues au<l tlu* people recently inarms against
Hu.* Federal government has commended itself
t<> my deliberate Judgment and although it has
been violently, sometimes vindictively assailed,
I have an abiding conviction that it will heap
proved by tho people when they shall be allowed
to pass Judgment upon Uat the ballot-box. This
plan is fairly stall'd in the platform of tho club
viiiieh many of you represent. 1 need not say,
therefore, in regard to that platform, any more
than (hat I subscribe tonll Us doctrines fully and
without reserve. I suppose, gentlemen,’ that
none of us expected that at the close of this great
war, in which much bad blood had been excited
and much good blood had been shed, we should
have blue skies calm and seas. I take it forgranted
that mast of us expected Hiatal the close of this
\\er there would lie passion, and pique, and per
haps violence, which it would take time to bring
into propersiibjugatbm ; but although we antici
pated Hu-, we knew t hat t lie pet.pie of Hie United
State., would tie prepared for whatever might
eijiue up ; we a lit ici patch that at the close of the
war great questions would come up for settlcm
incut, Hie discussion of which would be likely to
agitate i his country, to shake it perhaps trom cen
ter to circumference : but we knew also that tho
people had not been wanting in any previous
emergency, and we had eonlldence that they
would be prepared to cope with and settle satis
factory any questions that might be presented in
tlu* future. That faith is wit hus now. it is strong
with u- bwilghl ;we have Jaith in the people,
and we have faith in that good Providence which,
having led the nation through the Uod Scaof bat
tle, is not likely to desert if. now tlnd the dreadful
pa-sage has been accomplished. The President
of ihe Failed Slates, gentlemen, stands before
Hie eounny In no doubtful attitude. Jlls voice
gave utterance t<> no uncertain language, when
it denounced treason.
At. the outbreak of the rebellion, h) Hie Senate
«>1 tin* oid toil stales he showed no faltering tidell
tj , when eoitntim' everythin'' else as of no value,
as mere dust lu the balance in comparison with
the Union and tin* Constitution, he went hack to

strongholds, and peril his wife and the lives of
his family. His policy Is sf ralu'hf forward, intelli
gible and practical. If a better pal ley can no

Wlio-m fault was that, tin* copperheads;;
other voices Thad. Stevens.) Mr. McCulloch—
Was It the fall of Andrew Johnson ? (Shouts of
” The fault of Congress and Thad. Stevens,” and
counter-cheers for Stevens.) If the course which
the President was pursuing was obnoxious to the
charges made against it in the recess of Congress,
how happened it that there was no denunciation
ofltunUUho meeting of Congress? How hap
pened it that these Jupitors Tonans of Congress
were as silent as though they had been dumb?
Those men whoso duty it was to stand on the
ramparts of the Constitution, and alarm the peo
ple of approaching danger, why did they not de
nounce that policy and demand of the President
a convention of Congress. No such demand was
made, no such denunciation was then hoard. We
did hear a voice from Pennsylvania, I believe,
and perhaps a response from Massachusetts.—
(Laughter.) But the people were silent, if not
approving.
Fellow-citizens, I did not Intend sneaking so
much, I have only this to say: I have desired and
hoped for the continuance of the great Union
parly with which I have been ever iudontllled.—
lint if Us leaders can present nothing bettor than
the program© of the committee, I am greatly ap
prensivo that its days will bo numbered. I trust,
follow citizens, that this will not be the case; that
it will discard Its hostility and Its attempt to con
tinue alienation between the two sections of the
country, and that it will embrace those principles
whlchTook to to restoration, ami to
peace. If It should do this it will continue to be
the groat and controling party of the country and
cover itself with imperishable glory. If it does
not, its daysare numbered, and the epitaph that
will lie written on it will bo “ it know how to pro
secute the war svltli vigor, but It lacked the wis
dom to avail itself of the benefits of victory.”
The serenading party next proceeded
to the residence of Postmaster-General
Dennison, who, after repeated calls, ap
peared and spoke as follows :
Fellow citizens: I am not the loss grateful to
you lor tills cull, because of its being made on me
hi my ofilehil character and as a member of the
Cabinet, ami yet I am admonished by this fact as
well ns by the lateness of the hour, not to discuss
munv topics of public interest on which, under
other circumstances, I might be glad to express
my views, 1 may say, however, that we have
much reason to felicitate ourselves on the gener
al condition of the country in view of the perils
through which wo have so recently passed, and
to congratulate ourselves upon the promising
future ttuit awaits us. It is true that the restora
tion of the Southern States to all their constu
tional relation to the general government Is not
yet accomplished. So far as that duty or that
consummation has developed on the executive
branch of (he government. It has been fully
performed. I cannot now recall any failure in
this regard. With all these things you arofumli
ar, and the country knows what has been done
and what is doing. The close of the war brought
with It the necessity of re-establishing the Fed
eral authority in the insurgent States as rapidly
as possible, and connected with it the duty of en
couraging the reorganization of local govern
ments In each of these stales. To this subject,
my follow-citizens, the attention of the President
aiid the cabinet was early directed, with what
success I need not point out to you. I think I
venture not 100 far in saying that history furn
ishes no parallel to such success. The Federal
authority has been established, recognized and
obeyed In every State north of Mason and Dixon’s
line. The local governments hi the States have
been reformed substantially to meet their chang
ed condition, resulting from the abolition of
slavery, and are now being peaceably adminis
tered. Dvmblless there arc provisions In the con
stitutions ofsomo oftheso «tats, as there are in
the Jaws enacted by some of their LogislatAives,
that are not In consoancc with the views of the
moral and liberty-loving citizens of the nation,
but we cannot reasonably doubt that they will
give place to better provisions and bettor laws
under the influence of the Federal government
ami their own material necessities.
Jlul one /hin.f/ remains, mi/fctow-cUizcns, to complete
(hr work of restoration ami to riot ho the Southern Statm
with all thrir cosdtutional privileges, and (hat is their
representation in Congress. (Applause.) Upon this,
with the loyal millions of the country, I regret
deeply regrettbal there is any dllVercnco. between
the President and our friends In Congress. The
dittbronee, is not as to Who but ns to when these
Stales shall be represented. The whole theory of
the executive programme for the restoration ot
Southern States looks to the early admission of
loyal Senators mul Representatives from these
Slates.
Noci'etury Jlnrlau and Attorney Gener
al Speed failed to respond to the serenade,
and letters were received from them hy
the Secretary of the National Union Club,
from which it is evident they do not very
heartily sustain the policy of the Presi
dent. They were too prudent, however,
to appear in public and denounce Unit
policy, and wisely refrained from speak
ing. Tile best thing President .fohuson
can do is to turn them both hfit of tire
(,'ahiuet, neck and heels.
4><»v. Swann Sustains tlio Pi'csidcnti
Governor Swann, of Maryland, in a re
cent letter to the Baltimore American ,
assigning reasons why ho cannot take
pari in a radical meeting held in that
Stale, eomes out fully in support of the
President's policy. He is in favor of ad
mitting loyal representatives from the
South, which (lie President says means
men who support the Constitution and
laws, and is opposed to negro suffrage.—
He says:
The masses of the Southern people I am
prepared to trust, because [ believe they
have been deceived by ambitious and de
signing leaders. With Congress will rest
the power (o protect itself and the coun
try against disloyal candidates seeking
admission into our National Councils.
I am for maintaining the integrity of
the Unconditional Union party, which
sustained the Government in its efforts
to put down this rebellion, and am for
adjusting onr domestic difference with
in our own lines. lam utterly opposed
to universal negro suffrage and the ex
treme radicalism of certain men in Con
gress and in our own State, who have
been striving to shape the platform of the
Union parly in the interests of negro suf
frage,
1 look upon negro suffrage and the re
cognition of .the power in Congress to
control suffrage within the States as the
virtual subordination of the white race
to the ultimate control and domination of
the negro in the Stale of Maryland ; and
in view of the action of certain extreme
men in Congress, for three months past,
upon the bill to introduce universal negro
suffrage into the District of Columbia,
against the unanimous voice of the peo
ple—the enlarged Freedmen’s Bureau bill
—the civil rights bill, and, finally, the re
construction scheme of the committee of
fifteen, I consider tiie issue upon this
subject of negro suffrage as well made in
the fall elections, and the most important
that lias ever been brought to the atten
tion of the people of the State of Mary
land.
I deny that the admission of the revol
ted States, by loyal representatives, sub
jects the reconstruction plan of the Pre
sident to Hie charge that no guaranty
has been secured for the future. The
States asking admission have, by a con
stitutional amendment, granted univer
sal freedom to the negro, and they have
further guaranteed, in another form, a
repudiation of the debts incurred by them
in the rebellion. These guaranties Ideem
as securing for the present ail that can be
reasonably asked.
f n these views I believe I am sustained
by (lie almost united voice of President
Johnson’s Cabinet, comprising many
prominent Republicans who have been
the triends of both Presidents Lincoln
and Johnson.
T look upon the war non* being waged
upon President Johnson as ungenerous,
unwise, and uncalled lor, and I believe
that Us longer continuance will greatly
embarrass the national prosperity by
keeping alive a stale of uneertanty and
distrust in Hie public mind, both ‘.North
and South, curtain loevontuatein liuancial

Jnlm W. Geary, the candidate of the
Radical Abolitionists for Governor of
Pennsylvania, was elected Lieutenant
Colonel of the 2d Pa. Regiment of volun
teers in the war with Mexico, upon the
organization of that Regiment in the city
of Pittsburg. William B. Roberts, of this
county, was the Colonel commanding and
died in the city of Mexico. After his
death, Geary was promoted to the Colon
elcy. The Payette County Volunteers
were attached to this Regiment, and
known as Co. H. They distinguished
themselves for gallantconductandintrep
id bravery in all the important engage
ments from Vera Cruz to the city of Mex
ico, including the bloody assaults upon
tile gates of that city. They continued in
service until the end of the war, and were
honorably discharged. The survivors,
ujjon their return homo, were received
with well earned and highly distinguish
ed honors by their fellow-citizens. Hero,
at the County Seat, they wore honored by
a splendid reception, participated in by
' the citizens of the county generally, as
well as by the ladies, who greeted their
return with all that delicate attention and
refined taste peculiar to their sex. At
Connellsvillo, also, they were the recipi
ents of a handsome ovation, the heartfelt
tribute of the citizens and ladies of that
place and vicinity. The reception at
Connellsville took place on Saturday, Ju
ly loth, IS4S. The reception speocli was
made by Dr. James C. Cummings, and
tile response by Sergeant Peter A. Johns.
After the delivery of the speeches, and
partaking an elegant dinner prepared for,
tile occasion, the returned soldiers met
together and unanimously adopted, a pre
amble and series of resolutions, which
show up the character of John W. Geary
in such a light as would render lus elec
tion as Governor an everlasting disgrace
to the State of Pennsylvania. These res
olutions, it will bo seen, were unanimous
ly adopted by true and tried soldiers, by
men who knew Geary well, and by men
who did not hesitate to proclaim their es
timate of ins character, and that too not
in tender, dainty sentences, but in well
expressed and forcible language. Thu
testimony of these proceedings, gains ad
ditional force from the fact that it was ut
tered at such a time and under such cir
cumstances as to exempt it entirely from
any imputation of political influences. —
Tile proceedings were published in the
papers of this county, bv request of the
soldiers, on the 27th of July, 1848, and
here they are.
Thu following Preamble and Resolu
tions were offered by (he returned volun
teers, of Company H, 2d Pennsylvania
Regiment, and unanimously adopted by
the meeting:
Whekkas, The discharge and arrival
home of the remaining members of the
Fayette Volunteers has again planed them
in the position of citizens of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, and enabled
them to speak and assert their rights,
they now embrace this occasion, the first
opportunity since their return, to express
their deep and ABIDING INDIGNA
TION of the conduct of John W. Geary,
since he was elected to the command of
the 2d Pa. Regiment, at the City of Mex
ico. The said John W. Geary procured
his election by a mere plurality of votes,
by FALSEHOOD and DECEPTION—
whiIe he was promising to give company
H the privilege of electing their own offi
cers, according to the laws of the State of
Pennsylvania, he, the said Geary, bar
gained with others for votes promising
and giving appointments in said company
H to men from other companies who
might answer his peculiar purposes. The
law of Congress of the 13th of May, 1817,
calling for Volunteers for the war with
Mexico, has this provision :
Section S. And be It further enacted, that the
said Volunteers so ollermg their services shall
be accepted by the President, in companies, bat
talions, squadrons and regiments, whose otllcers
shall be appointed in the manner prescribed by
law in thCKcvernl States and territories to which
such companies, battalions, squadrons and regi
ments shall respectively belong.
The said Geary, while he availed him
self of this law to got himself into a high
office, refused the same right to company
FI, which legally and properly belonged
to them. Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the remaining mem
bers of the Fayette County Volunteers,
view the conduct of the ,said John VV.
Geary towards company H as an OUT
RAGE upon their just rights, as secured
to them by the laws of Pennsylvania as
well as the laws of Congress. The whole
course and conduct of the said Geary be
ing INCONSISTENT WITH THE
CHARACTER OF A GENTLEMAN
OR MAN OP HONOR—it was treating
us as a set of men who did not know their
rights, and whocould not appreciate them
—it was CORRUPT and MERCENARY
in all its bearings, characteristic of aLOVV
ANDGROVELINGCREATURE, hunt
ing and seeking popularity for, courage
and patriotism THAT HE NEVER
EARNED, by bargaining with supple
tools and mercenaries, one of whom at
least was a notorious blackleg.
Resolved, That the arrest and trial of
Ist Sergeant John A. Cummings, by a
Court Martial, for daring to assert his
rights and those of the company, was A
BASE AND COWARDLY EXERCISE
OF USURPED AUTHORITY ON THE
PART OE THE SAID JOHN W. GEA
—-'[ter he, the said Geary, had SUR
REPTITIOUSLY SUPPRESSED the
order of the Adjutant Gen. of this State
(issued by direction, of Governor .Shunk j
lill all vacancies in the
2d Regiment of Pa. Volunteers by eiec
tum—taking advantage of his STOLEN
authority to coyer up his WORSE than
BASE MOTIVES, and to injure the B
earned lame ol a brave and gallant offi
cer,
On motion (ifj'olui' A. .Johns, it
ucHoUu.'d, That all tho harm wo wish
Cul. Geary, IS THAT HIS DISGRACE

r T LAKES and avenues of
life, and that he may never

it is the duty of the President to arre-i
Thad. Stevens, Phillips, Sumner an 4
others, for the “ cri me o f treason," whereat'
the Radical organs are bursting with in
diguation. Can they give any reason
why it should not he done? They rail
upon the president to render “treason
odious,” and when it is proposed to do so
by arresting their treasonable leadcrs
tbo men who are opposed to a restoration
of the Union and who are laboring to
establish the doctrine of secession—they
howl with rage. The imprisonment if
honest men, during the last four years
was quite fashionable —but these men arc
undoubted traitors, disloyal to the Con
stitution and Government. If military
arrests were right then, why are they
wrong now? If it was treason (lien to
oppose tlie President why is knot, now?
Are not men, who are endeavoring to sub
vert tiro Government, traitors? Are not
the Radicals in Congress endeavoring to
subvert the Government.
Wendell Phillips generally kcepsa
little in advance of his party, alt hough ii
is marvelous how fast its members who
claim to be “ Conservatives” crowd upon
his heels. Hence it is safe to assume that
his interpretation of the meaning of negro
suffrage, given at a recent meeting in
Boston, will by the time another year
rolls around form a recognized article in
the creed of the Radicals, as it is already
a darling idea cherished by them in se
cret :
Negro sml'nige, .said Air, Phillips, meant a scott
of neyro aUUny in the Home of /fqimffl*
tutivee. It. means colored merchants in New Or
leans, and colored Senators in Columbia. II
means negro representatives sharing in making
railroad laws and other flaws. It meant social
coualitii, and that was where the Southerner mel
the question. Social equality follows nurd on
the heel of tile ballot-box, and the south knows
it, and site resists negro sullVage for 'Wind must
follow it.
