US? 1 ' Fred Douglas is a member of the Philadelphia Republican Convention. THE SKIES ARE BRIGHT! The Republican party, so calle'd, is rapidly falling to pieces; nearly all its great leaders are arrayed on the side of the people, and stand like a wall of brass against the radicals. Had Mr. Lincoln lived, no one doubts that lie would have led off against the disuniouists who, un der the lead of Tiiad Stevens, are at- tempting to accomplish the very thing that the rebels failed to accomplish, viz— the dissolution of the Union. The fact that the men who were most familiar with Mr. Lincoln’s sentiments, and enjoyed his confidence in all matters of State pol- icy, are with President Johnson and the people to-day, is conclusive evidence that Mr. Lincoln, could he rise from his grave now, would be With the people and against the disunion crew who are caus ing so much trouble. Mr. Lincoln, it is well known, never had a particle of confidence in Thad Stevens, and it is as well known that Thau had no respect for Mr. Lincoln. Frequently, Mr. Ste vens spoke of tlie deceased President in terms of bitter reproach and sarcastic con- tempt. It must be evident to all then, that bad Mr. Lincoln lived ho would have pur sued the same policy uow''pursued by President Johnson, and of course would have been denounced in the same manner and by the same men that are now in full cry against the President. Where do we find Mr. Lincoln’s most intimate and confidential friends in this controversy? Where is George Ashjiun, of Massa chusetts, the man who was President of tlie Chicago National Convention that nominated Mr. Lincoln for tlie Presiden cy? Ho is on the stump, pleading with tlie people to sustain President Johnson. Whore is Henry J. Raymond, the Chair man of the Republican National Com mittee? With the President, battling by day and by night against the Thau Ste vens disuniouists. Whoro is Gen. Dix, the man who had such unbounded influ ence over Mr. Lincoln ? With tlie Pres ident heart and soul. Where is the Rev. Heniiy Ward Beecher, tlie old origi nal Abolitionist, and on whose judgment Mr. Lincoln relied so much? Ho too yields a hearty support to tlie President. Whore are the men who composed ~,the Lincoln Cabinet — Seward, Bates, Blair, Welles? With tlie President, heartily. Wo might go on and mention hundreds of other representative men of the Republican party who are now doing battle in tlie Conservative ranks. The fact is the Republican party has gone to pieces. Its leaders have loft it, and it is now in the keeping of tlie now converts —the men who turned their political coats for tlie purpose of making money. Tlie true men—the men of brains and merit, tlie true friends of Sir. Lincoln, aro with the people and the President. Democrats ! Conservatives! the skies are bright! We never entered on a cam paign witli better prospects of success.— The disunion negro party is being crush ed beneath the weight of its own enor mities, and is broken and divided. Let this encourage us tq labor. Be united, be active, be vigilant. C®“Colonel M’Ci.urb paid but a poor compliment to his audience, in his ad dress at tlie Republican meeting, on Tuesday evening of last week. It would have been difficult to crowd a greater number of mistntements and palpable ab surdities into a two hours’ speech than the Colonel managed to get into his har angue. We beg to remind him, before he pays our town another visit, that this is an intelligent community, and that when he asserts that there is not a single sece ded .State which has guaranteed the freed - men their legal rights ; that the testimo ny of all who have visited the South is. that the late rebels are as deadly in their hate towards the Government as they were during the war ; that Lion stated be fore the Reconstruction Committee that in case of a foreign war,’he did not know on which side he would draw his sword —he places himself in the position of one who wilfully states what ho knows to be false or is wofully ignorant of the politi cal history of the times. M’Cnunu seems to be terribly afraid of rebels. Visions of Jenkins and his cav alry continue to haunt the dreams of the sago of “ Norland.” It seems strange that (joe who “hob nobbed” in-his own parlor a whole night with the rebel leaders, and brought out his best wines and liquors to tempt their palates, should bo so terribly afraid of theghost of a dead rebellion now. But his alarm doubtless became chronic, during his numerous advances on Har risburg. It would, however, be as well now for him to got over his fright and look at facts as they are. Mr. Mildbr’s reply- to M’C'l hue's so phistry, on Wednesday evening, was ns amusing as it was caustic. He peeled off the cuticle, and poured the aqua fortis on the raw flesh. Ho showed from docu mentary evidence that M’Gdurb’h pre tended argument was false in fact and false in theory—that he argued from false premises and that his conclusions were necessarily fallacious. It was done so calmly, so courteously, with such strict regard for the intelligent judgment of his audience and for fairness in discussion, that its effect was almost electrical. -It was an honorable triumph of fact and ,ar gument over shallow and transparent plausibility—of common sense over twad dle. “ 22. “ 27. “ 28. “ 29. OUT. fi®“ President Johnson, in his tour to Chicago, is being received by the work ingmen and maohnics wherever he goes in tlie most enthusiastic manner. Noßo man General over returned with laurels on Ilia brow who received such ovations as is bestowed upon him by the men who look too him to restore the old Union of tlie Fathers of the Republic. All lie asks is to give him a Congress that will act in harmony with him and the support of the people—Andrew Jackson-liko he defies the radicals who are throwing obstacles in the way of a speedy restoration of tlie Union upon its old foundation. . With the people to back him he feels as if it would not bo long until all the States will again bo fairly united in fraternal bonds. Let us help him. Clymeris his friend and he is tlie friend of Clymei" You who desire a return to tlie old order of governmental affairs, think for yourselves and act accor dingly. KStT' William B. Thomas, late Collector at Philadelphia, spoke at tlie Reading fiz zle, and “ was particularly caustic in his review of Andrew Johnson’s policy.” The mustard out generally are very caus tic. THE STATES OF THE STATES. It would seem to be a self-evident prop osition that the eleven Southern States are either in or out of the Union. They cannot be both in and out at the same time; nor can they be in for one purpose and out for another—in when allegiance and taxes aro required from them, out when they ask the protection of the laws and representation in Congress. There fijCUmt two horns to tlie dilemma; tlie Southern States are either in the Union or they aro out of it. - If they are out, how did they get out ? By peaceable secession ? Surely not, for although Grbbly and his radical school did hold that there was a right of peace able secession, and that the South could withdraw at pleasure from the Union, they have long since abandoned the doc trine, and the universal sentiment of the country tq-day is that secession Is a heresy and that the Union of the States is per- petual. Did they get out by successful revolution? Let the history of the last five years answer the question. The war for the Union did not prove a failure, os the disuniouists would have the people believe. Our arms were victorious ; the Southern cross went down in overwhel- ming defeat and disaster; the Southern forces made a complete and absolute sur render to the victorious legions of Grant and Sherman ; and to-day the Southern people from the Potomao to the Gulf of Mexico are yielding obedience to the laws of tlie Federal Government. If the South ern States did not got out by peaceable se cession or successful revolution, there is no other, way under the heavens ■'where by they could have gotten out, and they must still he Slates in, the Union. All the States in the Union are equal n dignity and power. Each is entitled :o the same rights and immunities. Th e rebellion did not destroy the States, nor lid it attempt to do so; its object was to ;ransfor the allegiance of the States from tiro Federal Union to the Southern Con federacy. The rebellion failed in its ob ject, and the States are still in the Union. The object of the war was to enforce the laws of the general government, and when resistance to law has ceased, peace comes of itself, and the revolted States at once resume their Constitutional rela tions, and are entitled to the same rights and immunities as the other States of the Union. The object for which the war was waged has been attained, and what fur ther pledges have wo a right to ask? The faith of the nation was solemnly pledged that when the Union was preserved and the Constitution maintained, the war ought to cease. Has not the Union been preserved and the Constitution maintain ed? If they have not, then indeed the radicals are right and the war has proven a miserable failure. If they have, then it is the meanness of cowardice foragreat nation to seek to impose now and humil iating terms upon a prostrate foe. CUSTUK VS. THE »EAl> DUCK, Tlie “ dead duck” having exhausted his billingsgate vocabularly upon the ac tion of the Philadelphia convention and those who took part in it, being particu larly severe upon the soldiers who pro pose to “vote as they shot”—for' the -Union —the gallant Gen. Custer, who ore while was one of the “ gallant de fenders,” whom Forney delighted to honor, thus takes off his hide and hangs it upon the fence: “ I will not refer to the seditious and inflam matory epithets you applied to that Convention, of which I am proud to have been a member, but will only class them with your insidious mid wicked harangues pronounced in the City of Philadelphia during the sitting of the Conven tion, in which you endeavored to stir the pas sions of what you supposed a mob to deeds 01 vi olence and blood. Neither will I occupy time in exposing your baseness in characterizing those gallant soldiers of the Union who took part in the Convention as being Influenced by any but. the highest, noblest and most patriotic impulses which govern the human will. Much leas wore they, as you insinuate, tinctured with disloyalty. Such unwarranted, unjust, and unprovoked as sertions come from you with bad grace when di rected against those who, during tho entire wav, have freely and unselfishly periled their lives to restore, defend and perpetuate the principles of a constitutional government which you are la boring to destroy. What have you done or ac complished to justify you in maligning and tra ducing those whoso patriotism has undergone the test of battle and is beyond impeachment? Republicans, Stand Up! Why don’t you laugh—smile-talk, say something, if it is not so all fired smart? Gracious, but you fellows are busy about now! Johnson is your President. God gave him to you. You selected him, elec ted himt Oh, but you are a wet set of roosters! Well, never mind! Wo shan’t hurt you! We wont mob you—prison you—hangyou—abuseyou—harrassyou in business —malign you—insult yo,u—rob you and use you as you have for five years used us. You needn’t look scary like when you see a rope, a prison ora gun! Got out the Wide Awakes. Call out the Loyal League! Get up some Geary Fairs ! Appoint a few Brigadier Gener als. Raise some colored troops. Turn your prayer meetings into electioneering booths. Control the telegraph. Lie to the nation. Open your mouths and guf faw when the President speaks. Be so cial. Don’t act like wandering droops from a grand funeral procession. Why you looked plcasedly good, joy struck, happy, angelic, when Lincoln died, com pared to the way you look now! Poor Republicans—how dreadfully grief wears on you ! TICK NATIONAL UNION MEETING, AVe trust the Conservative citizens of Cumberland county will not forgot the National Union Mass Meeting to be hold in this place on Friday evening next, the -call for which will be found elsewhere in to-day’s paper. The honorable gentle men who are announced to speak certainly deserve a hearing by reason of their dis tinguished services on the Beach, in the Cabinet, and on the held of battle. Let there be a grand rally of all friends of the Union, without distinction of party. If the Court House cannot accommodate the crowd it is contemplated to adjourn the meeting to the open air, so that all may spg, and hear. US?” Tlie Herald, some weeks ago, ex pressed the opinion that harsh language and personalities, in a newspaper, was undignified and uncalled for. So far so good. ■ In its last issue it commenced an editorial with these very dignified words —“AVhat a lie I—The1 —The Volunteer is the big gest liar in the United States.” There ! That’s the kind of “ dignity” our neigh bor talks about —such dignity as the blackguard uses when pressed to the wail. B®” Geary’s battle-cry: “ Come on with your wool —there ‘is no possible objec tion to it!" SHAEE THE ENIOX BE KESTOBEB? This is the. great question which to-day presents Itself to the American people, and demands their decision. -A greater question never challenged their atten tion. Shall the Union be restored ? As wo decide this all-important question, so we determine the present condition of thirty millions of people, and the future destiny of uncounted millions. With the Union restored and the peo ple re-united under the government of our ancestors —the best government ever made by man—then the nation marches on in its promised career of greatness to a destiny higher, nobler, grander than his torian ever wrote or poet sang. This is no dreamy enthusiasm which vanishes before the eye of reason, but an ideal which sober reflection assures ns may bo realized in actual fact. Uook at the country—its vast territori- al limits embracing the best part of the continent, having every desirable variety of climate, soil and production; unsur passed in its great agricultural, manufac turing, commercial and mineral resour ces; and capable of supporting popula tions numbered only by hundreds of mil- ions, The Union restored and the people re- united, the vast and almost untouched resources of the groat West and South will be developed ; new enterprises every where will spring into life and old ones will bo re-invigorated. The "wealth of the nation will be greatly increased, and thereby the payment of the national debt, which now rests upon us with crushing force, will bo made easier. Specie pay ments will be resumed, and prices great ly diminished. A restored Union will give to the la boring man the necessaries of life at much less cost; to the merchant a healthier trade; to the man of commerce greater security; to the capitalist safer invest ments; to all prosperity and happiness.— These are the blessings of a restored Union. But the Union unrestorod, the people disunited, then the demons of sectional hate, jirejudico, faction and discord will destroy the bright hopes cherished by the founders of a free government. As a na tion we shall be subject to foreign insults and aggressions; for our own internal disorders will engross our attention and exhaust our strength. Our national debt will be increased. — The currency will be depreciated until nearly worthless. Our resources will be undeveloped, for the hand of enterprise will be paralyzed. Humiliation and pov erty will be our lot. Those are the evils of an unrestbred Union. Shall we hesi tate in our choice? How Shall the U nion be Bestohed ? Only as the Union was formed —by mutu al concessions and harmony between all the States. By according to each, the right of local self-government and equal representation in the national councils. Happily our civil war is ended. Sla very, the cause of so much trouble, has been eradicated from our national system by the aetof the South itself. The south ern people have not only laid down their arms, but desire to live in the Union and obey ail its laws. As an earnest of their fidelity they have abandoned their hopes of separate independence and sacrificed their cherished institution of slavery and their immense loss to them of nearly their entire property. For eight long months, intheperson of loyal representatives, they have asked for admission into Congress. The President desired their admission. — The patriotic men of all parties desired their admission. Why were they not ad mitted, and this last great step taken to a restored Union? The answer is obvious. Congress has been under the control of men who came into power through a divided Union. It is only by keeping out the southern rep resentatives that they can retain their power in the nation. For their own ag grandizement and base and selfish pur poses, the Stevenses, the Sumnebs, the Wilsons, the Wades, the Fessendens, the Bout We LLS , and other spirits of fac tion are keeping the Union from being fully restored. For this they, persist in exciting the passions and hate of the peo ple by their falsehoods. For this they are continually tearing open the old wounds of the Union, and causing them to bleed afresh. For this they are ma king themselves the architects of their country's ruin. Like Satan they prefer rather to reign in hell than serve in heaven. TIIK HUSH AXI) OEUJIAXS The Now York German Republicans, numbering some 5,000, have gone over in a body to the support of the National Union Convention. This action was broughtabout a few days ago in mass meet ings. Erin in motion. —At a very large and enthusiastic meeting of Irishmen in Washington City, on Saturday night last, tile following resolution was passed; Resolved, That the late manoeuvring of the Radicals to gain over the votes of our fellow-citi zens can only he regarded by the hitter with ridi cule and contempt, particularly when it is re membered that the Radicals have always been the bitter enemies of the Irish race, and that their leader, Tlmddeua Stevens, only recently declared in a public speech the negro to be Jar better and more deserving than the Irish and Germans; and that during the last session they were careful not to consummate any measure lor the benellt of those whose votes they now aim to secure. As Geary endorses Thad. he may put the above in his pipe and smoke it. Mr. Todd delivered one of his charac teristically elegant and refined addresses, in the Court House, on Tuesday evening of last week. His choicest expressions such as “ unmitigated copperhead,” and “ infernal traitor,” hurled upon the loyal men of the country, were warmly applau ded by his admirers. The only mercy ho can grant the-South is to “ curse them! curse them!” There is probably no one who could do this with'more emphasis that the honorable gentleman himself. The Radical meeting hold in the Court House, on Tuesday of last week, was a strange anomaly, in some respects. It was presided over by a Colonel who never saw a battle, and was addressed by another Colonel who made the fastest time on record in fleeing from the foe, and a General who never had a command. These are the soldiers who are supporting Geary.

Hero is a little item that will servo to show how the people are paying for abo lition rule. Bead it, and -ponder over the folly of' keeping in power a party which collects such immense sums of money and then exhausts them in less time than they are collected. If the tax receipts of the Internal Bevenue office for one year amount to $305,801,-W0, 20, how much do the people pay in one year for all the taxes of the Government. It is well worth while to pause and inquire into this matter, and see if some plan can not be devised whereby such enormous and wholesale plundering of the people can be stopped. The Democratic party of Pennsylvania are now asking the peo ple to cease to be fools and try to be wise. We wonder if they will do it? Bead : Tlic books of the Internal rov «""? T °®s9j,A?

On Wednesday morning, before his de parture from Philadelphia, President Johnson, speaking to the members of the Committee of Arrangements in reference -to the serenade of the German singers from various associations of that city, said: I deeply regret that I had retired when our Gor man fellow-citizens honored me with their call. I would gladly have tendered them my personal thanks for the excellent singing with which they delighted both myself and those who have ac companied me. I refinest you, therefore, to thank them In my place. My own experience In life has always ailed mo with much sympathy for the Germans. Notwithstanding the dlllicultles before them, which few can better appreciate than I, the Germans have, as a whole, earned wealth and influence with extraordinary suc cess. I have learned to appreciate their taste for the arts, as well as the philosophical turn of their mind, and believe that upon these are based the free and disinterested manner of thinking and the adherence to principles, in which no one sur passes the Germans. lam strengthened by this mark of esteem frommy German fellow-citizens, Agalfi present them with my heartfelt thanks. Taxpayers, Head 1 Col. Frank Jordan, State claim agent at Washington, was up at Beading, the other day, at the Meeting, makiuganother speech for Geary, for which he will take pay out of the State Treasury. He gets $3,000 a year of the people’s taxes, for not attending to his duties. He has been electioneering for Geary for more than four months and hasn’t earned five dollars of the salary he has the effrontery to take outof the Treasury. If Curtin had any re gard for the taxpayers he would discard this political excrescence, but he has not. Of course, if Geary succeeds, Jordan will hold this sinecure for three years longer, and deplete the taxpayers of more than 810,000. Radicals null tlic Soldiers, It is amusing to witness the contortions of the disunionists, produced by the heavy blows which are dealt them by the sol diers of the Republic who support the re storation policy of Andrew Johnson. Be cause such men as Custer, and Steedman, and Couch, and Crawford, and Dix, and Sherman, and Grant, and Hancock, and every other real soldier stands by the Pre sident, they begin to abuse them like pick-pockets.' Geary calls all who are not in favor of negro equality and dis union, “ shysters, cowards, skulkers, and hospital bummers.” lIBAB Him.—At Reading last week, General Geary, the Radical candidate for Governor, made a serenade speech in which he said: Eellow-oitizens of Berks county :—I can scarcely find words to express my heartfelt thanks for this kind reception, the music and the firing of guns. Your cannon puts me in good humor with all mankind, and, combined .with your cheers, assures me that the time is not far distant when we will, in truth, make treason odious. I have always, in the past,, endeavored to- deal hard blows against traitors, and shall always do so in future; but wo are not half done. What a warrior! Cannon puts him 11 in a good humor with all mankind.” So did the spittoon he captured at Harper’s Fer ry. How can such a fighting man en joy life in a state of profound peace?— ‘‘Not half done !” When shall wo have the balance. John? BS?” Irishmen remember, that in voting for John W. Geary; you vote for a man who took an oath to ostracise you and yours—pledged himself to be your enemy, to prevent you from voting, holding office or enjoying any of the rights of an Ameri can Citizen—that you vote for a party that burnt your churches, murdered your countrymen, and robbed, your houses, — that you vote for a party that to-day, In the State of Missouri, imprison your Clergymen for preaching; your Sisters of Charity for teaching, and would, did they have the power, drive you from your homes and work, and give your places to the negroes, who, they say are your equals in every respect. Remember these things, when you go to the polls. ■o®" General Geary says the work of putting down the rebellion is only “ half done.” Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan, Geu. Slocum, Gen, McCook, Gen, Steedman, Gen. Sickles, Gen. Blair, Gen. Dix, Gen. Crook, Gen. Meredith, Gen. Ewing, Gen. Rosseau, Gen, Custar, Gen. Couch, Gen. Averill, Geh. Granger, Gen. McClernand, and a hundred other righting OENERBts of the Union army, who declare that their work is done—that the rebellion is over—that peace reigns and that the Union shall be restored!— Does Geary mean to draw his very valiant sword against such as these ? More Trouble !—There is another big trouble in the Republican party. Henry J. Raymond, the Chairman of the Nation al Committee, appointed by the Republican Convention at Baltimore, in 18G4, is now openly and heartily with President Johnson ! Several other mem bers of the Committee take the same side. The Radicals are determined to throw them out, and will no doubt do so. But can their party afford the splitting off of such important members? Radicalism is going to pieces. VsS“ The friends of Major General John Wellington Geary will all vote for negro suffrage.

' Composed of men of every section, holding ev ery shade of political opinion, they have re-enuu clated tho eternal principles that he at tho base of our institutions, have renewed their vows of fealty nnd of brotherhood, aiid have joined hands In a united effort to restore tho Union and pre serve tho government created by the Constitu* tion. No man need err In this contest Support Congress and you sustain disunion, at tack your government, nnd elevate the negro al tho expense of your own race. Support the President and you restore the Union, preserve your government, and protect the white man. • On the one side are Stevens, Sumner, agitation and disunion. On the other, the President, the Union, peace and order. Uy order of the Democratic State Committee. WIIiMAM A. WAUL.ACE, Chairman. What Changed Curtin. —The fanat ics and disunionists are making no little fuss over the fact that Governor Curtin lias swung round and Is now warmly ap plauding Stevens and other abolition traitors. Curtin some two months since, when in this place, was a warm friend of President Johnson. At that tinie ho ex pected an appointment as Minister Pleni potentiary to Italy, and because he did not get that position, he now turns on the President, and like the whole pack of dis appointed office seekers, eases his disap pointment by villifying him. So great was his anxiety for the appointment, that he requested a democratic friend of ours to say nothing through the Watchman , in regard to his position as a friend of the President, for fear that the radical papers would raise a howl about it, and the fanat ics in the Senate refuse to confirm his ap pointment, if made. He asserted positiv ely that it “ was only Stevens and that class of men who were keening our coun try divided and in trouble.” these abb PACTS AND WE STAND PREPARED TO PROVE them. So the radicals can thank John son for having Curtin on their side. Had ho got the position he wanted, he would be what they now style a “ Copper-John son” politician- Such are the principles of Andy Curtin. —Bellfonte Watchman. In Trouble about General. Grant. —Our Radical' neighbors are considerably exercised about General Grant’s appear ance at the White House on the occasion of the visit of the committee sent to pre sent the proceedings of the N atioual Union convention. One of them endeavors to account for his presence there, but, ns may be seen from the following extract, Ire does it in a manner not very compli mentary to the conquerorof the rebellion. Ho says ; “ A presistont attempt has been made to attach great significances to the pre sence of Genernl'Grant during the late interview between the President and a committee of the convention recently held in this city. Partisan journals, with that easy logic so characteristic of them, have jumped to conclusions which would identify the General with the po -1 itical divisions of the hour. We are sure that all these maneuvers must be exceed ingly distasteful to their illustrous object. We have seen nothing to indicate that General Grant desires to appear before the people at all as a politician.” That a man of the calibre of General Grant should be indifferent with regard to political movements in a crisis in which the very existence of the Republic is at stake is too absurd for belief. His opin ions are very decided, and his dislike of northern disunionists is something of a very positive character. All intelligent and patriotic men are on the side of the Constitution. —Daily News. Js@“ The New York Tribune bewails the political prospect in the Empire State. It says: “We shall have a desperate strug gle in our State this fall. The coalition against us is strong in crafty political managers, strong in official ‘spoils,’ and will be strong, also, in money.” There is not the shadow of a doubt that the radi cal faction will be completely annihila ted this fall in that State by the Democra cy and Cohsorvatives. Jeff Davis is in prison for seeking' to divide the Union! The South was overrun with mighty armies—had her fields laid waste, her property destroyed and her inhabitants kilied for seeking to divide the Union. Thad Stevens, John Forney, Geary and all their followers are now guilty of the same crime 1 Why are they permitted to run at largo ? John W. Geary, says that.it is right for the laboring tax-payers of Penn sylvania to be compelled to pay one mil lien six hundred thousand dollars a month to support the Freedmen’s Bureau. Vo ters, is it right that the fruits of your la bor should go to the support of idle ne groes who are as able to support them selves by Work as you are ? No, it Is not! General B. F. Butler recently made a speech In Massachusetts, in which he said that if the state of things did not im prove at the South, “ tve will march once more, mid woe to him who opposes.” ' If the “ bottled hero” does not accomplish more on his new war path than he, did against the rebels In the late war,- the South will not be damaged much by the “ march” ‘- B@“ Freemen, remember that the black copperheads are trying to putevery South ern State out of the Union which will not give the negro a vote ! They make this the condition because they think the negroes will vote their ticket! They pre fer the dissolution of the Union to the loss of party power ! The Perry Democrat says that at the close of the Disunion meeting at New Bloomfield, on court week, Geary called for “ three cheers for Congress!” Of course this was because “ Congress” gave three hundred dollars to the darkies for one year’s service, and one hundred dol lars to the white soldiers for three year’s hardships.
