The States, whereof the people wore lately in rebellion, are integral parts of the Union, and are entitled to representation In Congress, by men duly elected, who bear true faith to the Constitu tion and laws,and in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation Is tyranny, such representatives should be forthwith admit ted. 2. Tho faith of the Republic is pledged to the payment of the National debt, and Congress should pass all laws necessary for that purpose. 3. We owe obedience to the Constitution of tho UnitedStates(ineluding the amendment prohibit ing slavery) and under its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their righls of person and property. 4. Each State has tho exclusive right to regu late tho qualification of its own electors. 5. The. white race alone is entitled to the control of the government of the Republic, and we are nuwUung to grant to negroes the right to vote. 6. The bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con tained in the recent anual message and Freed man's Bureau veto message of President John son entitles him to tho confidence and support of all who respect tho Constitution and love their country. 7. Tho nation owes to the brave men of our armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for •heir heroic services in defence of the Constitu tion and the Union; and while we cherish with a tender affection tho memories of tho fallen, wo pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's care and protection, 8. Wo urge upon Congress the duty of equaliz ing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors. The editors are attending tho great National Convention, now in session at Philadelphia. This, we hope, will serve as an apology for ail short-comings In to day’s paper. OUR TICKET. The Democratic Convention of Monday last was more largely attended than any similar body has ever been attended in this county. The “ unterrifi.ed” were here in crowds from every township ; and the interest taken in the deliberations of the convention was one of the mos tcheor ing indications of tho campaign. The ticket is an admirable ona, coniposed of good and true men—men of integrity, ca pability, character and position - ! Some of them were gallant soldiers in the army of the Republic; the others have grown gray in the service. Altogether it is such a ticket as has seldom been presented to tho peopleof Cumberland county for their support, and will be triumphantly elected by a good round thousand majority. WEBSTER ON THE COStSTITUTION "I Wish to preserve the Constitution as it Is, without addition and without talcing from or ad din)? to it ouo Jot or tittle."— Daniel Webster, in the U. S. Senate. The above are the words of Daniel Webster, a man who was one of the Idols of the Whig party, and who was re garded by all men as a most profound lawyer and sagacious statesman. They are the words of a patriot, of one who loved his country more than he loved party. What would this great man say could he burst the coffin and the sods that bind him down in the earth and again take his seat in the Senate and scan the proceedings of the late rump Congress?— During the session of this treasonable and abhorred body eighty-seven amend ments to the Constitution were proposed ! Indeed, nearly every member of the ma jority had his amendment in his pocket, cut and dry, before he took his seat! The old Constitution that cost our fore-fathers so much anxiety and labor, and which was considered by all Christendom a mo del in its way, did not suit the pigmy politicians of the present day, and they determined to destroy it. Its provisions they have studiously and unblushingly disregarded ever since their treasonable party obtained power, and now they de sire to wipe it out section by section. Freemen of Cumberland county, and of Pennsylvania!—give ear to the words of Webster, and frown down the at tempt the disunionists are making to mutilate the National Constitution. The Amendment to bo submitted to the next Legislature of this State will give the ne gro the right of suffrage if adopted. This Is its whole object, as any man of sense will see wlio reads it. Are the people of this State willing to grant this privilege to the blacks ? Are they willing to give ignorant negroes the controlling power at the polls ? If not let them array them selves against this iniquitous attempt of the radicals, and let them 11 preserve the Constitution as i.t is, without addition, and without taking from or adding to it one jot or tittle.” Observe the fact —not a Geary organ in the State denies being in favor of negro suffrage! Geary himself does not deny the charge! Their whole cry is—“ Our platform don’t say anything about negro suffrage—for that ain’t an issue now.” — It don’t matter what the platform says, for that can be pitched overboard, like the Chicago platform of 1860, even if directly against negro suffrage—which it is not. — But it does matter what the Geary organs and the Geary leaders say. Their views and utterances constitute the platform and principles of the Geary faction, and they are all for negro suffrage and equality. They do not and dare not deny the fact. The National. Convention is now in session, in the city of “ Brotherly Love.”' At the time of our going to press we have heard nothing that would be of interest to our readers. In our next we will give a full and concise report of the proceed ings of this great gathering of the nation’s great men. CSS“ I. M’D. Sharpe, Esq., of Cham bersburg, has received the nomination for Congress by the Democratic Conferees of the 16th District. OF COURSE IT ISN’T. Mr. Cuff. Brown was not far wrong when ho remarked that there were many things in the Herald, intended to ne fun ny, which he couldn’t see in that light. He might have said the same of the Her ald’s, logic and its law. They are good of the kind, but of a very poor kind. Two weeks since, we called attention to the fact that the Republican Convention of Cumberland county had passed the fol lowing resolution:. “ Resolved, That wo heartily endorse the plan of reconstruction embodied in the proposed amendments to the Constitution recently adopt ed by the majority of the National Congress.” AVe then gave the language of the first of those amendments 44 recently adopted by the majority of theXationnl Congress/’ as follows •• “All persons born or naturalized In the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ore titizens of the United States and of the State wherein then reside, and no State shall make or enforce any taw which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of cit izens of the United States .” We then proceeded to say that by this amendment negroes were declared to be “ citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” By a plain and-simple definition taken from Web ster’s dictionary we then showed that a citizen is “a person, native or naturaliz ed, who has the privilege of exercising the elective franchise, or the qualifications which enable him to vote for rulers," and we argued from these declarations of the Republican party that it was their pur pose to force negro suffrage npon the peo ple of Pennsylvania against their wishes. The Herald thinks that Webster’s defi nition of the term “citizen,” which can be found in substance in all the elemen tary works of tlie law, is the greatest amount of pure “ absurdity” it ever saw “crowded into such a small space.” The shades of Webster, Blackstone and Kent would no doubt be terribly annoyed if they knew what a poor opinion the legal gentleman of the Herald has of their Con stitutional law. It was their law wegave, not our own ; and until the now legal light of the Herald proceeds to overthrow the definitions which have stood tlie test of ages, it will continue to bo good law, and needs no vindication from us. Our object, in the editorial referred to, was to prove that the Republican party intend to force negro suffrage upon the people.of Pennsylvania. Let us see how far we were wrong in the views wo ad vanced. There arc no three men who more fully represent the leading senti ments of the Republican party of Penn sylvania than Wii! D. Kbluey, Thad deus Stevens and John W. Forney.— They are the brains and the energy of that organization, and what they avow may be regarded as an authorized exposi tion of the aims and purposes of their party. Wm. D. Keudby said in a recent speech in Congress: “X am in favor of striking out the word “ white” from the Constitution. X do not wish to impose upon South Carolina and Mississippi what I am now ready to adopt in X’enusylva nia; and as tho Constitution confides the election of members of Congress to those who have the right to vote for the lower House of the Legislature, I believe it also has power to decide who shall vote for the lower House of the Legislature.— Therefore, sir , I hope we shall pass a law defining who shall vole for the lower House of (he Legislature in each and every,State of the Union.” Thaddeus Stevens said during the discussion on the Constitution al Amendment; “ This is not a white man’s government. To say so is political blasphemy. This doctrine of a white man’s government is as atrocious as the infamous sentiment that damned the late Chief Justice to everlasting infamy and X fear to everlasting fire.” John W. For ney used this language in his “occasion al” letter to the Press in view of the ac tion of Congress: “The issue is now made up. Made a party question (by the ac tion of Congress) it must be met with equal unanimity by the Union party ev erywhere. 1 do not know a better time to meet the issue than the present. It was blind folly to suppose that we could stave it off." In his comments upon the Convention which nominated Geary, he said; “ The Union men in council at Har risburg did not shirk the question of negro suffrage. Tho men who did not fear to speak out on Wednesday will not fear to take ground in favor of giving the right of suffrage to all their citizens. And the Con- vention itself declared, speaking of the negroes, “ that their freedom shall not be made a mockery, nor their just hopes of security, education and elevation be dis appointed.” When, in view of these dec larations of the leaders of its party, the Herald succeeds in convincing the intelli gent people of Cumberland county that negro suffrage is not the issue, we hope to bo informed of the fact. When it suits its purpose the Herald professes great reverence'for the sanctity of State Constitutions and laws, and yet but recently it held that Congress had the power to’ disfranchise thousands of the citizens of Pennsylvania, in direct viola tion of one of the plainest provisions of our State Constitution. If Congress has power to disfranchise non-roporting draft ed men in violation of the Constitution, has it not equal power to enfranchise the negro in violation of that Constitution ? And it the radical disunionists show no regard for the rights of the States in'the one case, how can we expect them to do so in another? Oh, no, the Herald's ven eration for the provision in our State Con stitution confining the elective franchise to “ while freemen” is all moonshine. It is as much in favor of Congressional ac tion declaring who shall vote for the most numerous branch of the State Legislature asKEM.KYhimself. Itis not three months since it was out flat-footed in favor of ne gro suffrage, and it is only now hauling in its sails when political shipwreck and overwhelming disaster stares its party in the face. Forney’s Press takes credit to the “ radicals in the Senate” for having voted for the Mississippi and Yazoo swindle," whereby $50,000,000 will, go into the pock ets, mainly, of Yankee Disunion specu lators. This is the only instance Forney undertakes to adduce in disproof of the charge that “the radicals hate the South.” If it shows no hate of the South it exhib its abundant love for the spoils. Gen. Sherman has given his opinion of the Rump. In his speech at Clevlnnd, he said: “ I see that the Atlantic cable has been successfully laid—that's a'good thing. I also see that Congress has adjourned— that’s a good thing, and if the hot weather only keeps off, that too will be a good thing.” SEEF-SACBIFICINO PATRIOTS. The ex-Attorney General, James Speed, who was bowed out of the President’s cabinet because of his treasonable senti ments, has published a letter addressed to Senator Doolittle, in which ho gives his unasked views concerning the great National Union Convention, now in ses sion at Philadelphia. Mr. Speed refuses countenance to the Convention, because, as he says, he fears that its object is to 11 dislocate and break up the Union party of this country.” By the “ Union party” Mr. S. of course means the rffs-Uuion par ty, at the head of which is Stevens, Sum ner and other unhung traitors. Speak ing of and for this dis-Union party, Mr. Speed says: “Since tlie outbreak ot the terrillc struggle from which the country has now emerged, we’ have had a National Union party that has exhib ited more devotion, made greater sacriiices, and manifested more unselfish patriotism than any other party did previously in the history of the world.” „ We have been under the impression that Speed was a sedate, sober-minded man, too old to indulge in fun or to play the part of an inveigler. We mistook the mau; —evidently the discarded At torney General is fond of a joke, for the mau who speaks of the disunion party as a party of “ unselfish patriotism,” that has exhibited “ more devotion and made greater sacrifices than any other party ev er did,” certainly intended to perpetrate a rich joke, over which Stevens, Sum ner and the devil himself could not help but laugh. How very “ devoted,” how very “ pa triotic,” the leaders of the present disuni on party have been! What “sacrifices” they have made, too.' Nearly every moth er’s son of them can now count up his hundreds of thousands of dollars. Previ ous to the election of Lincoln many of these leaders were in straitened circum stances, and some of them were not worth a scotch baubee. Why, these very fel lows have robbed the Treasury of more thousands of dollars than they have hairs on their heads. Just think of the " sacri fices” of the Butlers, Banks, Camerons, Frys, Forneys, and tens of thousands of others whose “ devotion” led them to es pouse the treasonable dogmas of the New England fanatics. Poor fellows, how they have suffered. Massachusetts, how she suffered! How her agents scoured the different States buying up negroes and jail birds, so tha* she might fill up her military quotas with promptness and des patch, and without calling out a man of her own, nearly all of whom were enga ged in the sacrificing business of furnish ing the army with the things that were needed and with things that were not needed. Is it not true then that tho disunion party has made great “sacrifices” for the country? How the people must sympa thize with these fat fellows in this the hour of their calamity! These dear pa triots are anxious to retain power, and hence their efforts to obtain the ballot for the negro; hence their desire to sow seeds ofdissention and .to refuse the Southern States in the Union. For over four years these leaders of a debased faction have lived and become rich at the expense of the people ; now they ace that their villainy and treason will not be tol erated longer, and they prate about their “ sacrifices” and “ unselfish patriotism,” with an assurance that provokes laugh ter. Their acts condemn them, howev er, and at the coming fall elections the peopleof the differen t States will place their seal of condemnation upon disuni onists and rumpers. Because the people of New Orleans would not allow the niggers and their cor poral’s guard of white backers to usurp the State government, the latter declared that 11 rebellion is at high tide all over the State.” Rebellion against the niggers ! This is about the coolest piece of offrontry that has come under our notice in a long while. In 18G0 there were 144,001 white inhabitants in New Orleans, (of course there are more now.) Hahn, in his speech to the darkies, boasted that, if not interfered with, the 5,000 white advocates ol negro suffrage would soon increase to 20,000. Thus, by their own confession, the backers of the darkies amount to only ahoulone-ihirtieth of the white population. Ain’t it a singular fact, therefore, for one hundred and thirty-nine thousand people to rebel against five thousand— especially while Hie former arc already in full pos session of the State Government > Verily, the effrontry of the Disunion niggerites is beyond comprehension, except upon the hypothesis of lunacy and rascality mixed in equal quantities. During the past few years the Radicals mobbed, exiled, or massacred hundreds of white freemen of the Republic who claimed the right to exercise the liberty of speech and the freedom of the press.— Then, at all times and under all possible circumstances, as they do at present, the Democracy disapproved of and denounced all such revolutionary and criminal prac tices. Now, when a great dread comes over the Radicals, and they causelessly fear the goring of their own ox, they agree with the Democrats that such things are brutal, barbarous, and infamous ! A telegram from Washington an nounces, in the most positive and authen tic manner, that the New York Tribune's story that General Sheridan’s dispatch to General Grant is a forgery, is purely an invention. General Sheridan sent no dis patch either modifying or retracting the one in which he calls the members of the so-called New Orleans Convention politi cal agitators and revolutionsts.- The Louisville journal truthfully says of Brownlow: “ Some of the papers call Parson Brownlow ‘hot-headed.’ He isn’t hot-headed at all. The whole of his seem ing hot-headedness is a mere show a trick, a sham, an imposture, a make-believe, a thing got up ns a simple matter of calcu lation. Brownlow is far more anxious to bo thought a fiery and impetuous fight er than a Christian, but he is as little the one as he is the other. He is a hypocrite both as to his Christianity and his hot headedness.” Does Geary Endors It? —Ex-Gov. Hahn, one of the “ Union men of the South,” said to the negroes of New Or leans, at a previous to the great riot, “You are as good as any white man in the State,” The darkies have been showing their “.goodness” every night since by assassinating every whiteman they can find unprotected in tbo streets. Aiut they “ good ?” THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. From the time of the defeat of the Fed eral party under Hamilton, by the Demo cracy, led by Jefferson, until’now, the De mocratic party has been the defender of theConstuittiou ami the Union. Against alien and sedition laws, anti-Masonry, Know-Nothingism, New England treas on, Abolition and Rebellion, the United States 'Bank power and its corruptions, the Democracy have battled without fear or faltering. That party has, in all these trials, kept its faith, fought tile good light, and will yet reap the rich reward of its integrity. Defeated, its death and burial have as often been proclaimed by those sanguine place-hunters, who believe plunder to be synonomous witii patriot ism. It “ still lives” to rejoice in its name and the principles that name denotes. Wil ling now, in this great crisis, to unite with all good men in order to'save the 'Constitution and the Union, by a joint effort Ibr so glorious an object, yet its his tory aiid its achievements, its trials and its steadfastness to the true principles of our Government —the rights and liberties of the people and the States—forbid that it should subordinate its organization or intermit its name. When national resto ration s an assured political fact, the De mocratic party will ennoble that epoch and justify the ceremonies of rejoicing by the great and enduring principles inscrib ed on its banners. The, Louisiana Convention. As our Radical cotemporaries are assert ing tlie legality of the Convention gotten together ten days ago by tho professional agitators aiid revolutionists of New Or leans, we commend to their attention the following from tlie Springfield Republi can: “It may seem cruel, but we cannot help re minding our Radical friends, whoiaro now so earnestly maintaining the legitimacy of Gen. Ranks’ Reconstruction Convention in Louisiana, that it is the very same Ojnveniionwhich Senator Sum ner pronounced ‘ nolhiny but a stupendous hoax,’ and moreover, ‘a mere seven months’ abortion be gotten by the bayonets In criminal conjunction with tho spirit of caste, and born before its time, rickety, unformed, unliulshed.’ On this ground the Radicals united with the Democrats to ex clude the .-Senators and Representatives of Louisi ana from Congress. They have now discovered that Gen. Ranks' Convention was not only le gitimate in 180 J, but that it is still a living body, with vitality enough to hold on us long as it pleases.” The Cincinnati Commercial states that Thaddeus Stevens not only denounced the Convention as bogus in 1804, but re cently refused to sanction its resurrection. The journals which are busily striving to invest' the reassembling of the Cohveii tionists with.importance, wage war upon their leaders as well as upon the law anti its administrators. Tlie Fnncnil Hnll Convention. ’ We regret we canuot spare space for a full report of the State National Union Convention of Massachusetts to select delegates to the Philadelphia Con vontion. The Committee on Credentials reported that 217 cities and towns were represent ed by 1,751 delegates. Not only in num bers, but in the high reputation and great influence of its members, it was acknowl edged to be the grandest political assem blage that has been seen in Massachusetts for many years. It.comprised represen tative men of all political parties. It is significant that among these were num bered the greatest and most powerful leaders of the Rep üblican party. Massa chusetts has done nobly in this manifes tation. Her delegation to the Philadel phia Convention will be unsurpassed in weight of character, ability, and national reputation. She has sent the very best and ablest of her soldiers, citizens, and statesmen 1 . Many a Slip Betwixt the Cup and Lip. —Geary’s friend Field, in his speech to the Louisian darkies, said: “ Tills mooting Is called to Indorse the right of universal sum-age, to he extendded by the Con vention to all who have been made citizens, and to endorse the reassembling of the Convention of ISGJ. * The Convention of 1801 assembles next Monday In this hall, and they will triumph without revhlution. When they meet, that boon you have long expected will be given you.” Unfortunately for Geary’s friend the dar kies armed themselves and became so ar rogant in speech and outrageous in con duct that the expected ‘triumph’ resolved itself into defeat. Sambo and CufTee and Ceaaar, J and the rest, havn’t voted yet. — They tried' tho bullet,but it liasn’t brought the ballot. Pulpis in Court.— Mr Pulpis, the col ored gentleman who eloped with Mr. William Griffith’s daughter, and for which supposed offense Mr. Grifllith had him arrested and imprisoned, has instituted a suit in our courts against Mr. Griffith for false imprisonment. Mr, Nigger plants himself on the Civil Rights Bill, and says that a white man dare marry a white girl and that he has the same right as any white man—besides he is just as good if not a little better according to the teach ings of Mr. Griffith himself. What dam ages a jury will award Mr. Pulpis, will, ol course, depend on the proof. He counts uieni equal to the loss of a white wife. — Somerset Dem. Black Lambs op tub Radicals. the Inbune and the Evening Post. shrinking from no falsehood in their work ot ministering to men’s worst passions, have the audacity to talk about the armed negro guards of the Radical- convention I! 1 Lpw Orleans as “ lambs” assailed by the wolves” of the federal army and the b, ‘ ce - iet here is a telegram from the inbune itself concerning these "lambs”: .Shortly after midnight a lot of negroes living in the 'Third District shot tit all pas sengers. They were arrested." Were they, indeed ? Poor, dear lambs! —j\ t cw York World, Gexeual Geaky, tlie Radical disunion candidate for Governor, is openly pommit ted in favor ol negro suffrage and negro equality. To accomplish this, the word white” must be stricken from the Con stitution of Pennsylvania. Are the vot ers of the good old Commonwealth ready to cast their ballots in favor of such an is sue ? I'he Press says that the Convention of 1804, which met in New Ooleans recently, was " obnoxious to the rebels because it i epreseu ted theloyal citizens of tlie .State.” Pirn truth is, the Convention, having no legal or lawful existence,” represented nobody; and Major General Sheridan de clares ‘ ‘ tlie leaders wore political agitators and revolutionary men." Foit five or six years the Radicals an nounced that it was “disloyal” to speak disrespectfully of the President of the United States, or even civilly to criticise ins official acts. Now they contend that tlie more they abuse him the better pa triots they are, and hold up their hands in holy horror If any thing is said against a member, of Congress! ■ A Significant “ Straw”—A Prominent Re publican Defines his Position. The Republican State Central Commit tee of Illinois has received the following from its late Chairman: Freei-okt, 111., July 28, ISM.

Soon after the call was published, I wrote James I\ Hoot, Esq., Secretary- of the com mittee, pointing out what I regarded as an ob jectionable restriction, whereby a largo portion of the Republican voters of Illinois were exclu ded from a participation in tbo Convention. The manifest design of that call was to exclude those who approyed the President's plaii ot res toration, ami to include only- those who appro ved the Congressional plan of reconstruction.
