common country. History affords no in stance where people, powerful in numbers, in resources and in public spir it, after a war so long in its duration, so destructive in its progress and so adverse in its issue, have accepted defeat and Its consequences with so much of good faith as has marked the conduct of tho people lately in insurrection against tho United States, Beyond all. question this has been largely due to the wise generosity with which their enforced surrender was ac cepted by the President of the United States and the. generals In immediate command of their armies, and to the lib eral: measures which were afterwards ta ken to restore, order, tranquility and law to the States where ail had for the time keen overthrown. Ho steps could have been bettor calculated to command the respect, win the confidence, revive the patriotism, and secure the permanent and affectionate allegiance of the people ot the South to tho Constitution and laws of the Union than those which have been so firmly taken and so steadfastly pur sued by the President of the United States. EFFECTS OP EXCLUSIVE LEGISLATION. And if that confidence and loyalty have been since impaired; if the people of the South are to-day less cordial in their al legiance than they were immediately up on the eloaa of the war, we believe it is duo to the changed tone of tho legislative department of the General Government toward them; to the action by which Congress has endeavored to supplant and defeat the President’s wise and beneficent policy of restorationto their exclusion from all participation in our common Government; to the withdrawal from them of rights conferred and guaranteed by tho Constitution, and to the evident purpose of Congress, in the exercise of a usurped and unlawful Authority, to re duce them from the rank of free and equal members of a republic of States, with rights and dignities unimpaired, to the condition of conquered provinces and a conquered people," in all things subordi nate aad subject to the will of their con querors; free only to obey laws in making which they were not allowed to share. REPRISAL AGAINST OPPRESSION JCJSTI- FIED. ■ No people, however, yet existed whose loyalty and faith such treatment long continued would notalienate and impair. And the ten millions of Americans who live in the South would be unworthy cit izens of a free country, dengenerate sons of an heroic ancestry, unfit ever to become the guardians of the rights and liberties bequeathed to us by the fathers and foun ders of this Republic, if they could accept with uncomplaining submissiveuess, the humiliations thus sought to be imposed upon them. Resentment of injustice is always and everywhere essential to free dom ; and the spirit which prompts the States and people lately in insurrection, but insurgent now no longer, to protect against the imposition of unjust and de grading conditions, makes them all the more worthy to share in the government of a free commonwealth, and gives still firmer assurance of the future power and freedom of the Republic. REBELLION HAS BEEN EXPIATED. For whatever responsibility the South ern people may have incurred in resist ing the authority of the National Govern ment and in taking up arms for its over throw, they may beheld to answer, as in dividuals, before the judicial tribunals of the land, and for that conduct, as socie ties and organized communities, they have already paid the most fearful penal ties that can fall on offending States in the losses, the sufferings and humiliations of an unsuccessful war. But whatever may be the guilt or the punishment of the conscious authors of the insurrection candor and common justice demand the concession that the great mass of those who became involved’ln. its responsibili ty acted upon what they believed to be their duty in defense of what they had been taught to believe their rights, or un der a compulsion, physical and moral, which they were powerless to resist. Nor oau it be amiss to remember that, terri ble as have been the bereavements and the losses of this war, they have fallen ex clusively upon neither section and unon neither party—that they have fallen, in deed, with far greater weight upon those with whom the war began ; that in the death of relatives and friends, the disper sion of families, the disruption of social systems and social ties, the overthrow of governments, of law and of order, the de struction of property and of forms and modes and means of industry, the loss of political, commercial and moral influ ence, in every shape and form which great calamities can assume, the States nud people which engaged in the war against the Government of the United States, have suffered tenfold more than those who have remained in allegiance to its Constitution and the laws. These considerations may not, as they certainly do not, justify the action of the people of the Insurgent States; but no j«st or generous mind will refuse to them very considerable weight in determinimr the line of conduct which the Govern ment of the United States should pursue towards them. ACCEPTANCE OF ITS PENALTIES. They accept, if not with alacrity, cer tamity withoutsullen resentment, thede feat and overthrow they have sustained. They acknowledge and acquiesce in the results, to themselves and the country which that defeat involves. They no longer claim for any State the right to secede from the Union j they no longer as sert forany State an allegiance paramount to that which is due to the General Gov ernment. They have accepted the de struction of slavery, abolished it by their State Constitutions, and concurred with' the States and people of the whole Union in prohibiting its existence forever upon the soU or within the Jurisdiction of the United States. They indicate and evince their purpose Just so fast afcmay be possi blei and, safe to adapt their, domestic laws to the changed condition of their society and to secure by the law and its tribunals equal and impartial justice to ail classes of their inhabitants. They admit the invalidity of all acts of resistance to the National authority, and of all debts incurred ju attempting its overthrow. They avow their willingness te share the burdens and discharge all the duties and obligations which rest upon them, in common with other States and other sections of the Union : and they re- Sf 1 w ’ii through their representatives in this Convention, by all their public con duct, In every way and by the most sol emn acts by which States and societies can pledge their faith, their engagements to bear true faith and allegiance, through C S! n ?’ to tlle Constitution of t d , fetate9 ’ and to all laws that may be made in pursuance thereof. appeal to the nation. Fellow countrymen: Wecall upon you In full reliance upon your intelligence and your patriotism, to accept with gener ous and ungrudging confidence, this full surrender on the part of those lately in arms against your authority, and to share with them the honor and renown that await those who bring back peace and concord to jarring States. The war just closed, with all its sorrows and disasters has opened a new career of glory to the nation it has saved. It has swept away the hostilities of sentiment and of inter est which were a standing menance to its peace. It has destroyed the institution of slavery always a cause of sectional agi tation and strife, and had opened for our country the way to unity of interest, of principle and of action through all time to come. It has developed in both sec tions a military capacity—an aptitude for achievements, of war, both by sea and land, hitherto unknown even to ourselves, and destinied.to exercise hereafter, under united councils, an important Influence upon the character and destiny of the continent and the world. And while it has thus revealed, disciplined and com pacted our power, it has proven to us be yond controversy or doubt, by the course pursued toward both contending sections by foreign powers, that we must be the guardians of our own independence, and that tho principles of republican freedom we represent can find among the nations of the earth no friends or defenders but ourselves. We call upon you, therefore, by every consideration of your own dignity and safety, audin the nameof liberty through out the world, to complete the work of restoration and pence which the President of the United States has so well begun, and which the policy adopted and the principles asserted by the present Con gress alone obstruct. CONGRESS TO BE REMODELED. The time is close at hand when mem bers of a new Congress are to be elected. If that Congress shall perpetuate this policy, and, by excluding loyal States and people from representation in its halls, shall continue the usurpation by which the legislative powers of tho Gov ernment are now exercised, common pru dence compels us to anticipate augmented discontent, a sullen withdrawal from the duties and obligations of the Federal Government, internal dissension and a general collision of senthpenis and pre tensions which may renew, in a still more fearful shape, the civil war from which we have just emerged. We call upon you to Interpose your pow er to prevent the recurrence of so tran scendent a calamity. . I Vc call upon you in every Congressional district of every State to secure tho election of member, who, whatever other differences may character ize their political action, will unite in re cognizing the BIGHT OF EVERY STATE OF the Union to Representation in-Con gress, AND Who WILL ADMIT TO SEATS IN EITHER BRANCH EVERY LOYYL REP RESENTATIVE FROM EVERY Statb in al legiance to the Government, who may be found by each Souse, in the exercise of the power conferred upon itby the Constitution, to have been duly elected, returned and qualified for a seat therein. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES. When-this shall have been done the Government will have been restored to its integrity, the Constitution of the Uni ted States will have been re-established in its lull supremacy, arid the American Union will have again become what it was designed to be by those who formed it, a sovereign nation, composed of sepa rate States, each.like itself, moving in a distinct and independent sphere, exer cising powers defined and reserved by a common Constitution, and resting upon the assent, the confidence and co-opera tion of all the States and all the people subject to its authority. Thus reorgan ized and restored to their constitutional relations, the States and the General Gov eminent can enter in a fraternal spirit, with a common purpose and a common interest, upon whatever reforms the se curity of personal rights, the enlargement of popular liberty and the perfection of our republican institutions may demand. UNANIMOUS ADOPTION. At the conclusion of the reading the cheers resounded again and again, and enthusiastic demonstrations of approval were made by the delegates springing to their feet and waving their hats. The question of approval was put to a viva voce vote, and the address wiia adopted with out a dissenting voice.

Tho States, whereof the people were lately In rebellion, are Integral parts of tho 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 tho maxim that taxation without representation is tyranny, such representatives should be forthwith admit ted. 2. Tho faith of the Republic Is pledged to. tho payment of the National dobt, and Congress should pass nil laws necessary for that purpose. 3. Wo owe obedience to tho Constitution of the UnltedStates(inoludlngtheamendmontprohlblt- Ing slavery) and under Its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their rights of person and property, A Each State has tho exclusive right to regu late tho qualification of Its own electors ** 5. The white race alone Is entitled to tho control of the government of the Republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. (i. The bold enunciation of tho principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con tained In tho recent annal message and Freed men’s Bureau veto message of President John son entitles him to tho confidence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. 7. Tho nation owes to the brave men of our armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their heroic services In defence of the Constitu tion and the Union; and while we cherish with a tender affection the memories of the fallen we pledge to their widows and orphans tho nation’s care and protection. S. We urge upon Congress the duty of equaliz ing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors. OUR MASS MEETING. In response to numerous inquiries we desire to state that there is no intention of varying from the old custom of hold ing our Democratic Mass Meeting on the Saturday previous to the election —which will be Saturday, October 6th, 1860. This day was fixed uppu by the County Committee weeks ago, and the Chairman of the Committee was notified by the Chairman of the State Central Committee on Thursday, August 16th, that the 6th of October had been decided upon, and Mr. Clymer would be here on that day. The fact that our Repub lican friends have called a meeting on the same day will riot interfere in the least with our arrangements; and as Gen. Geary is to be here, it will afford an excellent opportunity for a joint dis cussion between him and Mr. .Clymer on the issues of the canvass. CAPT. JOHN LEE This gentleman—a citizen of Carlisle— is the candidate of tho disunionists for Assembly, Wo have no desire to sayan unkind word concern ing him, but now that he is before the people, asking their votes for a responsible position, it is no more than right that they should be made acquainted with his political views. Mr. Lee is a fair representative of his disunion party. He is radical to the core, and has, on all occasions, declared him self in favor of conferring the right of suf frage upon the negroes, and- of “ eleva ting” them to tho white man’s standard. He argues that the negro is entitled to all the privileges enjoyed by the whites, and that this is not a tl white man’s gov ernment,” as some men have supposed.— He endorses the act of Congress appro priating $3OO bounty to negro troops, and $lOO to white veterans. He considers the Freednieu’s Bureau, which requires some thirteen millions of dollars annually to keep it in operation, a glorious institu tion. Tlie Freedraen’s Bights Bill is an other admirable contrivance, in the opin ion of Mr. Lee. Indeed, all tho devilish doings of tlie rump Congress find favor in the eyes of the disunion candidate for Assembly, and no man in this communi ty is more bitter in his denunciations of President Johnson. Such being Mr. Lee’s political opinions, such his views, the man who votes for him votes for negro-suffrage, negro-equal-' ity, ami disunion! Mr. Lee will not deny that his political views are as we have stated them. If ho does, we will prove our allegations true by the affida vits o/ a riumbel-ofour best citizens. Let no Democrat,' then, bo found supporting this man. We know that he is now busy in trying to obtain Democratic support,' and pretends to be quite conservative in his views, but wo hope no man who is op posed to the revolutionary measures o'f the radicals and the election of a radical disunion United States Senator, will hes itate to work agninsthim and vote against him. Democrats and conservative men have a duty to perform this fall, and he who fails in the discharge of that duty can have but little if any sympathy with the principles of the Democratic party.— For four long years Democrats were slan dered, maligned and persecuted, and their property was destroyed by the minions of.a corrupt, thieving, unprincipled and unfeeling party. John Lee, as much ns any other mail, approved of these outra ges, and laughed when lie heard that a Democrat had been murdered for his po - litlcal opinions, or dragged to a govern ment prison, for daring to question the wisdom of Aiiiuiiam Lincoln. Will any Democrat vote for a mail bolding these views? If lie does lie deserves the fate that John Lee said that all Demo crats deserved—expulsion from the coun try. Wgrln his recentspeeeh at York, Gen eral Geary said to his hearers, twice, “I am a soldier /” It is well that he men tioned it, for nothing that he ever did in the field would have reminded them of it. The “earthquake” in Kentucky has been terrific. Instead of 25,000 Demo cratic majority ns stated lost week, Ken ; tucky gives us nearly 50,000! Pennsyl vania will follow the footsteps of the State of Henry Clay. OEN. GRANT WITH US. When the committee appointed by the great National Union Convention pre sented a copy of the Resolu tions of the Convention to President Johnson, at the White House, on the 16th inst., Gen. U. S. GRANT stood by the President's side, when he made his re ply to the Committee, and at the close of the proceedings the two retired arm in arm. — This circumstance, we feel satisfied, will , settle the question astowhere Gen. Grant stands in the present controversy. Me is with the the people, and no man who is not a fool or a knave, or both, ever believed for a moment that he occu pied any other position. It was a foul slander, an imputation upon his charac ter as a man and soldier, to even intimate that Gen. Grant sympathized with that “ whelp of sin,” Thad. Stevens, and the disunion crew who follow him. Gen, Grant having fought the rebellion down, regards the man a traitor who dares assert that the Union is not restored. He says itie restored, and Sherman, andSLOouM, and Sheridan, and Smbad, and Blair, and M’Clbrland, and Couch, and the McCooks, and Spalding, and Sweitzek, and M’Candless, and Sickles, and Dix, and Franklin, and Crittenden, and Porter, and hundreds of others who commanded Corps, Divisions and Bri gades, say the same thing. They ail agree with President Johnson and Gen eral Grant, in saying that the Union is restored, and that the South has a right to a representation in Congress. They say and believe that taxation without representation, is unnatural andrevolu tionary, and tends to centralization and despotism. These officers, together with nearly all the officers of the army and navy who were at the head of ourlegions during the rebellion, are to mcetin National Conven tion at Cleveland, on the 17th of Septem ber, for the purpose, as they say in their call, of “consultation on the momentous issues now convulsing our country."— They will then and there appeal to the people of all parties to second them in their efforts to save the country from an archy and revolution. They will then and there endorse the President and con demn the rump Congress and those who adhere to it. Will the people hearken to these offi cers—to these great captains of the army and navy who bore the brunt of battle for four long years, one-half of whom are Republicans in politics, and voted for Mr. ■Lincoln for President? Will Republi cans disregard the counsels of their lead ing statesmen—the men who constitute the brains of their party— Cowan, Doo little, Francis P. Blair, Seward, Weed, Raymond, Beecher, M’Cul loch, Ex-Qovernor Johnson, of this State, Bates, (Atty-General under Lin coln,) and hundreds of other represen tative men thatwemightmention? These men and the legions that go with them in opposition to the Radicals, made the Republican party and owned it. Will the men of that party—the rank and file —forsake these eminent leaders now ? Will they dare disregard the advice of the statesmen as well as the warriors of their party? Will they take the advice of Bottled Ben. Butler, the New Or leans thief, rather than the advice,of Gen. Grant? Will they give ear to the Buck shot hero, Thad. Stevens, and pay no attention to such a man as their distin guished Senator, Edgar Cowan? In the name of all that is honest and fair and patriotic, we beseech true men of all par ties Ho atop and think. Then let them act. The legal gentleman who scrib bles for the Herald , and who is con stantly reminding the readers.of that insipid sheet that he possesses a knowl edge of law, gives it as his sage opinion tllflit l - M*l'rl- l ? re , wa3 . a H me when It was excusable In P lu .?° before Its readers sophis ti les, but that day baa passed. There In enough tho Concern to know fully that the whole of its pretended argument to negro suffrage at issue here was a mere fal- The writer of this is free to acknowl edge that he is not a lawyer. We feel sometimes like using the language of the western orator in his reply to his opponent, who, like the editor of the Herald, boasted that he was a lawyer, but who nevertheless was a fair speci men of a ninny. “Thank God, I am not a lawyer,” said the orator, as he proceeded to skin the poor pettifogger alive. It is magnanimous, however, in our cotemporary to overlook and excuse our “sophistries.” We are not a law yer, and therefore our young friend con siders our crude ideas “excusable.” What cleverness, what a lack of egotism is here displayed. It is really refresh ing, when we consider that this liberal spirit is exhibited by one who is a fled geling in the editorial ranks, and whose weahley productions sparkle in the col umns of the Herald, Perhaps it would be well if our erudite editor would ad here to the profession of the law, and permit some one of riper judgment to contribute ideas for the disunion organ. Many men have ruined themselves by attempting too much, and some have proved deficient when they attempted to edit a paper. “ Every one to his trade, is a trite saying, and one which it would be well if mne men would heed.

GOOJi^ ApiflCF. FROM A BAH QUARTER. “ Lot the people not. therefore, bo diverted from their calm devotion toond decent respMtfortbo constitutional authorities, by ‘h® '“6ammatory appeals of the “olf-appolnted advocates of Con gXGßß.'-Harrisburg Telegraph, Feb. 22,1860. ’ The above was the language of the Har risburg Telegraph, a few weeks previous to the removal of its proprietor, Bergner, from , the Postmastership of Harrisburg. No sooner, however, had Bergner been put out of the Post Office, than the Tele graph turned tail on the President, and has been, ever since, violent in its de nunciations of the administration, and the obsequious apologist of disunion trai tors and the rump Congress. How plain it is that those who assail President John son and his wise policy, are governed by a mean selfishness? Let any man of discrimination look at the names of the disunion speakers at their mass meetings, and he will see at a glance what actuates these men. Nearly every man now on the stump for that consummate humbug and traitor, Geary, has made a princely fortune out of the war. By contention, strife, bad-feeling and deviltry, they ex- pect to live and grow fat. They made money for four years or more by teaching the people that it was treason to oppose the administration; but they now would have the same people believe that abusing and villifying the constitutional authori ties, is a duty that every “ Republican” is bound to obey. They would consider it a great outrage, no doubt, if the friends of the administration should turn upon them and gut their printing offices, ns was formerly the fashion. Opposition to the administration is now “loyal” In the eyes of the same men who but a year or two ago advocated mob-law for this same offense. If the people will but take the trouble to scan the motives that govern the mis erable crew of disunionists who are now in full cry against the President, they, will be at no trouble to discover that it is nothing but selfishness. They are in fa vor of.a Preedmen’s Bureau, in favor of keeping the Southern States out of the Union, and in favor of the most reckless extravagance, because these measures will enable them to go on in their steal ing and plundering operations. The Pres ident has disappointed them. r He is an honest man and a pure patriot, and that is just what they don't want, and will not have If they can help it. Like buzzards, they are attracted by corruption, and are willing to menace the Union itself rather than leave the feast that they considered belonged exclusively to themselves. The honest yeomanry of this country, we think, understand these remorseless vultures, and at the proper time will ad minister a rebuke to them that will ef fectually silence their treasonable senti ments. HON. ADAM I. OLOSSIIRENNEIt. The Democratic Conferees from' the three counties composing this Congies sional District, met atRiPPEY’s hotel, in this place on Thursday last, and, by a unanimous vote, re-nominated Hon. A. J. Glossbbbnner for Congress. Every Democrat and Conservative in the Dis trict will say amen to the action of the •Conferees. The re-nomination of Mr. Glossbrennbr was not only in accord ance with a well-established usage of the party, but was due to him because of his sterling qualities as a representative. No man ever represented this District with more credit to himself or greater advan tage to his constituents than Mr. Gloss- BRKnner. Always at his post, and ever ready to serve those who had business with him, he gained an enviable reputa tion for kindness, courtesy and attention. Notwithstanding he is a strong partizan —a thorough and consistent Democrat from conviction—he has always been as ready to attend to the wants of his politi cal opponents as to those of his own par ty. He has been most emphatically a representative of the whole people of the District. Of course Mr. Glossbrenner will be triumphantly elected, but we would like to see him elected by as near a unanimous vote as possible. After the faithful man ner in which he has attended to the in terests of the whole people of the District, it would be nothing more than right that he should receive an endorsement com mensurate with his services. THE TWENTIETH CORES. All the officers of the late 20th Corps, except Geary, (who commanded the 2d Division,) endorse and support the res toration policy of President Johnson.— Gen. Slocum, its heroic commander, Gen. Williams, of the Ist Di vision, Gen. Ward of the 3d Division, and Gen. Rous seau of the 4th Division, all declare that the^^ar- was not a ifailure, that the rebel lion is suppressed, that peace reigns, and that the Southern States are now within the Union, They all sign the Soldiers and Sailors Convention, to assemble at Cleveland on the 17th day of September, to endorse the President. Geary, we re peat, is the only officer of the late 20th Corps now found in the disunion ranks; he is the only black sheep of the Corps,— The 20th was a gallant Corps, and its com mander, the brave Slocum, was a most gallant man. What a shame it is that Geary, one of its officers, is now found in company with traitors like Stevens and Forney and their compeers in crime. Shame on you, John W. Geary. aSTMr. Judd, one of the revolution ists at New Onleans, said: “We were ; whipped at Bull Run; we were whip ped at hundreds of other places; we were whipped all the time until the heroic ne &no was enlisted in our cause!" Gover nor Hahn, theex-Military Governor of Louisiana, said: “As President Lincoln and the Union army were unable to re store the Union until the colored men came to their aid, so the Union men of this State feel that they cannot maintain the principles of the party without the aid of the patriotic colored man.” These are the men who instigated the riot in New Orleans. Tub Cleveland Convention. ■ Some o& the leading papers treat the call for the Conventfon at Cleveland, on the 17th of September, as though it were addressed only to the army. This is a mistake. The call originated with army officers, but invites to a Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention all who served in either branch of the service and who are favorable to the policy of President Johnson and the principles announqed by the Philadelphia Convention. ii cosiiaro out of the foee party.'’ The Huutingdou Globe, the able or gan of the Republicans of Huntingdon county, has taken down the name of tire disunion candidate for Governor, “ Gen eral” Geary. The Globe is not one of your sickly, starving concerns, but is a paper of power, and its editor, Colonel Lewis, a man of influence and wealth. Pew papers in Western- Pennsylvania have fought the Democracy with more vigor than the Globe; but now that Geary and the men who control him have taken open ground against the union of the States, and. stand upon a disunion platform,.Col. Lewis, like a true patriot, refuses to endorse or sup port the treasonableerew. Hesupports the President, as every honest Union man ought to do. The Globe, in taking down the name of Geary, says: “ Before, and at the time General GCary was nominated, and since then, and up to the issue made by the Harrisburg Telegraph , that “ the lar go' Ocary's majority the slcrncr will be the rebuke ad ministered to Andrew Johnson," we were his friend, but wo could not feel certain at any time that his election was sure, because one factmressed upon us, that the Radicals would use and abuse him.— And now that wo have taken our position with the National Union Party wo cannot expect him. as the nominee of the Union Republican party to stand upon our platform of principles, we take his name down from our mast-head, and will leave the place vacant until a candidate is nomi nated who will endorse the platform of our par ty. Wo could support Geary os a soldier, as a man, ns ft friend, but we cannot support him as the candidate of the Radical Republican party.— No friend of Andrew Johnson can vote for Gen eral Geary. No sensible man, a true friend of Johnson’s policy to restore this Union, can vote for Geary and by so doing aid the Radicals In passing an insulting Judgment upon Andrew Johnson. Other men can and Will do as they please, but as for ourself wo shall act consistent with our professions.” Til.ll>. STEVKNS TO HIS C'ONSTIT' HUNTS I lie Declares Negroes to bo Equals of White Foreigners I Thaddeus Stevens was I'e-nominated for Congress, by the Radicals of Lancaster county, one'day last week, and upon ac cepting the nomination he made a speech from which we make the following ex tract : We have hot yet dope Justice to the oppressed race. Wo have not gone ns far as the Emperor of Ilussla, when he ordered tho freedom of thous ands of his oppressed people and endowed them with the right of citizenship. We have been too much governed by our prejudices. Wo have 1 lis tened too much to those whose cry Is "Negro Equality”—" Nigger”—" Nigger”—" Nigger!” Il r c are influenced too -much by those persons from foreign tanas who, white in search of freedom,geny that bless ed boon to them who arc their cqtmlsf The man who uttered these words stands in the fore-front of the Radical faction. — He is its Jupiter Tonahs, and as he winks it nods. He speaks for it and his utter ances are accepted by its members as parts of their creed. ' Hence the Radical faction, through Thaddeus Stevens, for mally and solemnly declared that Negroes are the equals of white foreigners ! Fore ign-boirn citizens! Descendants of the pioneers who came from the banks of the Rhine, from tho vine-clad hills of France, from tho green fields of Brin, from bonnie England and from glorious Scotland! Do you believe in such doctrine, and will you march under the banner of such leaders? ABUSE OF THE SOUUIEUS. Geary in a recent speech at York, said that the soldiers who assembled at Har risburg on the first of August, were “ Shysters and Cowards, Skulkers and Hospital Bummers.” To say the least of it, such language was very unbecoming in one who aspires to the dignified posi tion of Governor of Pennsylvania. But what shall be said of a man who applies such epithets to tho bravest of the brave, simply because they do not choose to cast their votes for him ? For instance, take the representativs of our own county in that Convention. They served from the beginning of the war to its close, and did their whole duty whenever their pre sence was required, whether in the ex hausting march, in the deadly breach, or amid the dangers and horrors of the field of battle. Let the soldiers remember how Geary has slandered their comrades. TO THIS SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Who Served lu the Army and JVavy of the United States During the Late Rebellion. In pursuance of aresolutlon of a meeting of sol dlersnow.or lately, In the Union army, held in this city last evening', we invite those of you who approve the restoration policy of the President and the principles announced by the National Union Convention at Philadelphia, to assemble at Cleveland on the 17th day of September next, for consultation on the momentous Issues now convulsing our country. We need not argue to you at length tho Impor tance of these issuss, nor your duty to take part in their settlement. After live years of fierce and destructive war, in which our arms wereglorlous* ly triumphant, the Union for which wo fought Is still practically unrestored. Why Is this 7 We struggled to maintain the rightful supremacy of the General Government—to conquer all who. In Isputod its authority—and to make every rebellious citizen yield to its laws. Wo held throughoutthe war that the Union is indissoluble and its powers, as expounded by its courts, su- 2 r f *^ e 5 that a? State can, of its own motion, withdraw,or atthewiliofUssltsterStates, be ex uded ; and that tho duiu of each State to main tain tho Union, and Its npW to take part in the Government, are alike absolute. Every obleot of tho war ever recognized by or known to the array and navy has been thoroughly achieved. The Southern people, decimated, impovershed. and subdued, have, for more than a year past,aban doned the rebellion, and now only ask that the union for which we fought may be recognized as thaUhey W bl dealt wfth as thl uonstitution and laws prescribe. In their anxiety to restore tho Uhion and bring harmony to its councils, they have gone beyond a mere silent submission to its laws. Through their delegates at the National Union Oonvan solera»ly renounced the doctrines of nullification and secession, from which the war arose—repudiated tho rebel dept, and declared of ff* lo nation! debt—proclaimed of the nation pledged to tho continuance of the bounties and pensions to loyalsoldlers and sailors and their families—declared slavery for antf freedmen entitled to equal protection of law, In person and property, with their former masters. Their platformls no£ only m? 0 of emphatic loyalty, but it is moreover most * n s P^ r^on the great issues growing out 01 tno war. The charactex* of the men who roDresenied tho ovJmV'nn St i atcs . lll fc bat Convention preclude us from believing this enunciation of principles to i be insincere. They scut to it their foremost statesmen—men who, like Rives, Graham. Orr Faisons, Sharkey, Huston, Brocken, brough' D ?’ Stephens, were known h before the war as men of the highest character and influence. Among the five hundred delegates from the South, there was not a voice or a vote dissenting from the resolutions adopted by the Convention. If the best of the ac^tgefe^^ to the Constitution and laws of the Union. We axe, therefore, unwilling to see the South ein people held longer in vassalage.
