Wool is of opinion that the rebellion was at an end and the Union restored the very hour that Lbk surren dered. *, a-v >r. .V. * ■ THE COUNTY TICKET, The Democratic County Ticket, we are glad to learn, will receive the cordial sup port of every Democrat and Conservative of the various towns and townships. It is, indeed, an unexceptionable ticket, and should be elected by a sweeping majority. Hon. A. J. 'Glossbrenner, of York who so faithfully and ably represent ed this Congressional District in the last Congress, is again before the people, hav ing received a unanimous ro-nominntlon by the Conferees. As we remarked on a former occasion, he was a most valuable, attentive and courteous representative, a gentleman of the highest honor and in tegrity, and too well and favorably known by the people of the District to require any extended mention at our hands. Philip Long, Esq., of Nowburg, has represented Cumberland one session in the Legislature, and discharged his duty to iris constituents most nobly. He is known as a stern, unflinching Democrat, and was indefatigable in his attention to the local interests of ourcounty. Although a now member, lie was an active and prominent one, and next winter, we pre dict, he will be a leading member of the House. Hon. Hugh Stuart, of South Middle ton, and Thomas P. Blair, of Sbippens burg, are the candidates for Associate Judge. Both are sterling men, and admirably qualified for the position.— Mr. Stuart has already completed one term as Associate Judge, and it is univer sally admitted that lie has discharged his duty to the satisfaction of all. Mr. Blair will make an officer equally acceptable to the people, for he, too, is a man of mature judgment and unflinching integrity. Capt. John P. Brindle, of Middlesex, is the candidate for Prothouotary. Capt. B. was in command of a company during the entire rebellion, aud.gained the repu tation of being a brave and gallant officer. With liis company ho participated in many hard-fought battles, and thus prov ed his devotion to his country and the old flag. He is a man of capacity, a good scholar and scribe, and will make an ef ficient and attentive officer. Let the “boys in blue,” and all others, rally to his support. . Samuee Bixeer, of West Pennsboro’ fpwtiaUiD. received the nomination for the office oi Uierk ami itecorder. When We consider that such unexceptionable and excellent men as Cavanaugh, of Newton, Croft, of Southampton, Zinn, of Penn, and Hutchinson, of Shippeus’ burg, were his competitors for the nomi nation, it must bo evident that he was regarded by the Convention a most, capable and desarving man. Mr. B. is a poor man, has been a school-teacher for many years, and will make a popular and capable officer. Maj. Jacob Dorsheimer, of Meehan icsburg, is our candidate for Eegister. He is one of the “ boys in blue,” and no offi cer in the army from old Mother Cum berland, returned home with a better military record. He did not skulk back Jo liis family when the war became a re ality, but he braved it out to the end, and was engaged in many severe battles. He is a man of spotless reputation, and is ad mirably qualified to make a safe and re liable officer. for County Commissioner, we have Maj. M. G. Hale, of Southampton. He, too, was a gallant officer of the army, who fought for the Union and not for the ne gro. He was regarded by the boys of his regiment ns one of its best officers—oiie who never shirked duty when hard Wows were to be given. The Major is a gentle man (>f intelligence, and possesses all the qualifications necessary for a faithful dis charge of tlie duties of Commissioner. John Paue was the unanimous nomi nee for Director of the Poor, and Capt. P. G. McCoy, of Newton, for Auditor. Both are excellent men, w'hose characters, moral and political, are unimpeaehed and unimpeachable. Capt, McCoy is another of the "boys in blue," and was universal ly beloved and respected by the men be longing to his company, and was regard ed as a brave and meritorious officer. Such, fellow-Democrnts and Conserva tives, is the ticket before you. In every respect it is worthy the confidence of all SEPT. 15. “ 21. “ 2rt. “ 27. “ 28. “ 2D.

Just about this time the community will bo flooded with incendiary appeals to the passions and prejudices of the peo ple. These will be found in the radical papers of the day and their electioneering pamphlets. In these, concocted stories of great cruelty to the 1 1 poor negro” and Union men, perpetrated by the people of the South, will be set forth in glaring colors. The fertile imaginations of the disunionists will be severely tested to fur nish political capital for the radicals. We ask the people to beware of these false and wicked stories. It is a well digested plan of the radical members of Congress to divert tho attention of the public from their own criminal acts. They know that they cannot fear their constituents with the record of their votes against them selves. Hence the new cry of the “ poor negro” and Union men of the South, &c. Severe but J ust Criticisse—Ool. Da vis, of the Doyiestown Democrat, a sol dier in the army for the suppression of the rebellion, whose chivalric bearing and dauntless courage rendered him con spicuous in a score of well fought battles does not think much of the bombastic Geary, “the hero of Suiekersville " Alluding to Geary’s speech at York i n which that humbug denounced the sol diers assembled at Harrisburg in Con ven tion os cowards and shysters, Col. Da vis says: but tills knowledge did not rpNtmin of charity, that has covered him In th« nno* ““tonwr shield him from the iSrltadS'l SS-SSSSsI"# pronounce the charge of General 'Goarv s il, iS false in every particular, and that In nmirin.. >? ho Ims proved himself on unmitigated liar.” 1 ' 1 ’ U Ex-Vice President Hannibal Ham lin made a speech in Carlisle, in the fall of 1884, in which he said that if he “oc cupied the Presidential chair he would make copperheads squawk.” a few days ago this same Hannibal Hnmlin was removed from the office of collector of the port of Boston, and a Union man put in his place. Who squawks np-tr ? CAUTION. SQUAWK I EET THE PEOPLE HEAD! The Radical Party In Natl'onal'Convou tlon Declares for Negro Suffrage. He who, in face of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Republican Convention of last week and the meetings connected therewith, still continues to mislead the people into the belief that negro suffrage is not an issue in the coming contest, must have but little regard for his own reputation. The negro Fred Douglass and several others of the same color were delegates to that Convention. Douglass marched arm in arm with Theodore Til ton of the Independent, and was lustily cheered along the line of the procession— as was also Gen. Geary. Douglass had the distinguished honor of being intro duced at the League house. The Press informs us that “ loud calls were made for Mr. Frederick Douglass, who was intro duced amidst great applause.” Douglsas said: . The question, then comes to us, Shull tho pre sence of this vast black population in our midst be made a blessing jto themselves, a blessing to us, and a blessing to the whole country, or a curse to themselves, a curse to us and a curse to tho whole country? Statesmanship has but one answer. It was given this morning from tho eloquent lips of Senator Yates. Philanthropy has but one answer, and It Is given from a thousand pulpits and a thousand platforms to-day. It is this: A thorough and complete Incorporation of this whole black element into the American body politic—[cries of “ Good 1”J— anything less than this will prove an utter failure, In my Judg ment— with a rightio the jury-box, the witness box, and the battot-box —[applause.] Wo are also informed by the Press that “ when the speaker had concluded lie was shaken by the hand by a large number of tho Delegates.” Mr. James M. Scovel, another delegate to the convention, said : “Wesay to the white man, who shouted for the Constitution while he spit upon it, disfran chise the blackmanifmudarc! Make him tiirco lifths of a man as you did before slavery died: but, so help us God, you shall never deem the black man no man at all—without vote or voice lu the policies which control him—and then ask to vote for him while your tender mercy is breathing of murder and slaughter at New Orleans and Mem phis.” Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, offered a se ries of resolutions in the convention “ ex pressing tho belief that their could be no permanent peace without universal suf frage.” Mr. Lascar of Missouri, offered a reso lution declaring “ that there never will or never can be reconstruction without the political equality of the whites and blacks. ’ ’ Colonel C. E. Moss, of Missouri, ottered a resolution that in the opinion of this Convention the plan oi as proposed by Congress, is not providing for the enfranchisement of all loyal citizens, without regard to color, and earnestly requesting Congress, at its next session, to remove that defect by suitable measures of legislation. A number of delegates ottered resolu tions in favor of univorsalsuffrage, which were applauded. Mr. Trop of Virginia, ottered the fol fowing, which was applauded : Resolved, That the* elective franchise Is a natur al right, and ought to he guaranteed by the Con stitution of tiie United Ttates to all Its citizens. Mr. Kelsey, of Washington, D. C., of fered the following, which was vocifer ously applauded: Resolved, That this is the hour fur the declara tion and maintenance of principle versus policy, and that impartial suffrage is the sign in which we must conquer. [Applause.] j\lr. Conway, of Kansas, offered a reso* lution declaring that the President of the United States deserves the condemnation of the loyal men of the South, in sending out his late commissioners, Steedman and Fullerton, for the purpose of destroying the confidence of the country in the Freedman’s Bureau, by means of false reports, so tempered as to sustain his own policy; that this Convention do most cordially endorse the action of the Freed man’s Bureau, believing that the said Bureau is necessary to the welfare of all classes in the South, until it can be dis- pensed with by the ballot, in the hands of alt loyal men, regardless of color. Mr. Moss addressed the Convention in favor of universal suffrage, as the only safe basis of reconstruction. It had been said that this policy would hurt the North ern elections. Ho did not think so. It would at any rate reconstruct ten South ern States so as to give the political power to loyal men, and send twenty Senators to Congress like Mr. Durant, of Louisia na. [Applause.] It was surely not tho intention of this Convention to endorse the provisional governments of Andrew Johnson. If not, he did not see why this resolution should be opposed. It was well known, that the white refugees from the South were universally in favor of equal suffrage. If ‘white men did not help the negroes in the South, the time would soon come when the negroes would take the mat ter into their own hands, and when they did Ood help the rebels. [Applause.] How many more Now Orleans riots would it take to set the whole South in a flame? Not many, he thought. He believed there were five or six hundred thousand meu in tills country who were not-going to trifle much longeron this question. They wore led by such men as Phillips. Equal ity to oil men was promised in the call for this Convention, and it would be hypocrisy to go home without declaring in favor of it. Miss Anna Dickinson, Gen. Geary and Fred Douglass were invited, by a compli mentary resolution, to seats on the plat form. Miss Dickinson said: M hat was to be gained, she asked, by deferring action upon negro suffrage? Nothing! while everything was to bo lost by a vacillating concil iatory course. The people even of Maryland and Kentucky would say that the Union Jicnublican part// was devoted to negro suffrage, even lhouch its representatives could not see that tho policy of justice Is always tho most prolltable and Just, Next following her, came Fred. Doug lass, speaking in this strain: .A stranger would believe that you intended to gwe equal and exact justice lo men of mu comnlexlon if you mean anything by equal justice or mum protection, you mean that. Frederick Doudaas shall have an equal right with every other citizen to protect his Bberly. [Applause.] You do S It! [Applause.] Why, then, In God’s name do \ on not come out and express your convictions? Great applause.] I have talked to men from the South, and they have said, “Itwill come; don’t hasten It; lotus got out of the well and wo will attend to you.” [Laughter and groat applause.] Geary took a front seat with Douglass and “gentle Annie,” but failed to "come to time” in aspeech, having left his man uscript at home. He doubtless felt that his presence there in so prominent a post of honor sufficiently manifested his assent to the doctrines of negro suffrage and ne gro equality. Parson Brownlow gave utterance to ihoso disgusting remarks: . o*lrio£»e 0 * Iri0 £» e, i l^cn i en » not through uuv unkind fn«>i ti<|& t . „ tful 0,1 mw subject of national coni ."SS'SS.?;;;:;;:;-' 1 ;;' spessssssi iissssS Mr. Calvin Pepper, of Virginia, said that “ the fate of the loyal South depend ed upon universal suffrage. Ho denied the right of a State to disfranchise any portion, of its citizens.” Hr. Williams “was on the broad platform of universal suffrage.”. General B. F. Butler declared: “Had the negro not been armed, the result would have been far different. Wo armed him ■with the musket when ho was fit to use It; shall wenotarmhim wtthlhcballot? There is a prejudice against the negro on the question oflabor. When the labor-saving machinery was Introduced into England, the laboring classes rose and destroyed it, because they thought it would take away the work that brought them bread. . „ Suppose we were only looking foSSpedienoy. The States must come back, wo waut a loyal constituency lu those States. Where will they come from? As amaUer of self-protection,as a mat ter of economy, the ncyro'nmst have a vote .“ And to cap the climax, the report ol -the Committee on unreconstructed States which was adopted just before the ad journment, declares as follows: ■ “We affirm that the loyalists of the South look to Congress with alieotlonate gratitude and con fidence as the only means to save them from per secution, exile, and death Itself. And we also de clare that there can be no security for us or onr children—there can bo no safety for the country against the fell spiritof slavery now organized In the form of serfdom, unless the government, by national mid appropriate legislation, enforced by national authority, shall confer on every citizen of the States the American blrth-rlght of impar tial suffrage and equality before the law. This is the one all-sufllclant remedy. This is our great need and pressing neccssltj'.” The official report of the proceedings informs us that “ the paragraph iu refer ence to universal suffrage was enthusias tically cheered,” audit was finally adopt ed, amidstgreatapplause,|by an immense majority. In view of these declarations, intelli gent men can no longer doubt that negro suffrage and negro equality is an issue in tile coming election. John W. Geary walked in the same procession with Fred. Douglass and shared with him the ap plause of the radical bystanders. He sat side by side with him, by resolution of tlie Convention, in a position assigned to distinguished visitors. Ho was present and listened without a dissenting word to his harangue in favorof the complete equality of the races, and doubtless join ed in the “ great applause,” and was one of those who “shook the orator by the hand.” THE PATRIOTS AND HEROES FOR JOHNSON. The following list of true, tried and gal lant soldiers have all expressed them selves in favor of 1 the President’s policy: GEN. U. S. GRANT, GEN. WM. T. SHERMAN, GEN. W. S. HANCOCK, GEN. GEO. B. M’CLELLAN, GEN. JOHN A. DIX, GEN. ROB'T. PATTERSON, GEN. G. A. CUSTER, GEN. L. H. ROUSSEAU, GEN. WM. M’CANDLESS, GEN. PETER LYRE, GEN. A. MoD. McCOOK, GEN. GEO. W. CROOK, GEN. DAN. E. SICKLES, GEN.

BLAIR, ADMIRAL FARRAGUT, GEN. SLOCUM, GEN. GRANGER, & 45 other Generals, & 00 Colonels of the war, Signers of the call at Cleveland. Also the following prominent men of the country heretofore in the .Republican ranks : WM. H. SEWARD, EDGAR COWAN, EDWARD BATES, MONTGOMERY BLAIR, THOMAS EWING, EX-GOV. WINTHROP, HENRY WARD BEECHER, SEC’S. WELLES & RANDALL, SENATOR DOOLITTLE, RAYMOND OF THE TIMES, Chairman of the National Republican Committee, and thousands of others. Against the President and the Union are Thad Stevens, John Forney, Beast Butler, Fred Douglass (the negro), JOHN W. GEARY and their traitorous follow ers. DSS“ Our radical friends have had a good deal to say about the Southern members of the National Union Convention nob represeutiugany constituencies. But what is to be said about the “ National Loyal ists,” so called, from the South? Where are their constituencies ? Whence came their credentials ? By what popular move ment were they vested with representa tive lunctions ? The Savanah napers are inquiring for information about the gen tlemen from that State; only two of them are known there, it seems, and they are both Northern men. We know that some who were appointed by State committees, repudiate the oommisson, as in Virginia. Wo await the authorized list of the°loyal representatives of the South in order to ascertain who they are, and by what au thority they undertake to speak. J3SV 1 All Henry Clay’s sons are friends of President Johnson and his policy. All Daniel Webster’s sous are with the President. i Ail the sons of John Quincy Adams are with the President. All ex-President H auuisox’s sons are with the President. ' oen eral Geant’s two brothers, and the General himself, cordially sustain the President. Ben. Eutdeb, John W. Forney, D. • , and Feed. Douglass, (negro,) are against the President. People !—who will you follow ? f®“' If wo could be con vinced that an extended reply to the poor creature who scribbles for the Herald , would subserve any good purpose, we might be induced to gratify him. Just now, however, we must bo excused. We have work before us, and no blackguard can divert our at tention from that work.. With as many and as warm friends as any man in Cum berland county, we can afford to treat with contempt and scorn the baby-like waddle that disgraces the columns of the Herald. la it much wonder that the lead ing Republicons of this county talk of starting a newpaper? The Herald, as at present conducted, a burlesque upon journalism. r Geaby, in his letter to Sam. Ha ouibe. styled himself “ a Democrat with out prefix or affix.” The signs of the &ad^i/^' Cate tllat IIQ is a R!uiici il in p o "Jy GET OFF THE FENCE If the times were not so sadly, out ol joint, and fearless independence and con sistency were not imperativclyjdomanded of every public journal which seeks to control public sentiment, the contortions of tile Carlisle Herald on the negro ques tion would bo intensely amusing. In March or April last, in a rare and sudden fit of honesty, the Herald declared itaell in favor of conferring the elective fran chise upon the negro, and made an argu ment of a column and a half to strengthen its position. It told us the negro was en titled to vote by reason of his services in the war, and that lie might protect him self in Ills rights. As was our duty, we announced that the Herald had swallow ed tlie negro and was out llat-footcd in favor of Stevens’ most radical dogmas. The ensuing week, onr neighbor over the way, frightened at thp muttcrings of the coming storm, and. having been waited on by some of tlie loading spirits of its political “ ring,” devoted another column and a half to show that it was not in favor of negro suffrage. In duty bound, we again announced that there was some mistake in our previous statement, and that the Herald.was not in favorof negro suffrage; when, marvellous to behold, the next issue of the Herald contained anoth er labored argument to prove that it was neither for nor against negro suffrage, tlial there was no such question as negro suf frage before the people, and that it had merely been indulging In. a little harm less speculation upon a question which was of no practical importance whatever. Since that time our feathered friend over the way has been balancing himself on one foot, on the topmost rail of the politi cal fence; and if he would only conde scend to come down and take one side or the other, wo assure him it would be a source of great gratification to “ his nu merous friends and the public generally.” If ho will simply say whether he is for negro suffrage or against it, and then stick to what he does say like a man, it will greatly facilitate argument upon this vexed question. We have already shown that at the re cent Republican County Convention the following resolution was unanimously adopted ; “Resolved, That wo heartily endorse the plan of reconstruction embodied in the proposed a mendments to the Conslltutlo'n recently adopted “J .U'.JW.Kj-.ftlw Ui.Wui.ul ii... V ■ r Wo have also shown that the first of these amendments is as follows: " , All persons born or naturalized In the United States, and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United Slates and of the Slide wherein they reside; and no Stale shall make or enforce am law which shall abridge theprieilcges or immunities ol citizens of the United Mates?’ We have shown that by this amend ment negroes are declared to be ‘‘ CITI ZEN Bof t/ic United States and of the State wherein they reside .” Thus far the Herald finds no fault with our argument. Now what is a “ citizen ?” Ho is defined to be “ a person native or naturalised, who has the privilege of exercising the elective fran chize, or the qualifloations which enable him to vote for rulers .” Hero is where the Herald takes issue with us, or rather with Weiister, and with Beackstone and Kent, for Webster draws his defini tion from the principles laid down by these eminent commentators. Whether the new legal light of the Herald is right, or whether the leading commentators have given us good law, our legal attain- moots are not presumptions enough to allow us to determine; but of one point wo have no doubt—and this it was the object of our original argument to prove that the radical leaders intend to use this debatable question as a means to force negro suffrage upon the people of Pennsylvania against their wishes. We are not so silly as to assert that the legal effect of such an amendment to the Con stitution would be to overthrow the Con stitution of Pennsylvania— and we never maintained that it would, as the Herald well knows. But we did say, in the article which has given rise to so much discussion, “What care they for State Constitutions and State laws, if they can effect by indirection, through their policy of centralization, what they know full well they could not accomplish di rectly;” and wo did say as the object of our argument that it was their pur pose thus to force negro suffrage upon the people, “against law and against their wishes.” If the Herald would be a little loss mean in its perversions, it would not injure its reputation for fairness. Again this same amendment declares that “ no Stale shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United Slates,' and to enforce this, it declares in the sec ond amendment, that: “ Whenever the right to vote at any eler-tinn f„,. electors of President ami Vico Preside?, t , United States Representatives in Congress" e\ ©outivo and Judicial olllcers, or the inemhors nf the Legislature thereof, is dental in nnvM-a Ol male Inhabitants of such State lieln?. /I?™,? 1 410 years of age, and citizensbf th’o United Stot^or HSiSS Where do those radicals maintain that the right to vote” is derived from, if not from the first section of the amendment and how could this right be “ denied ” un less they considered that it had been conferred absolutely by some competent power ? In presentiugthese amendments to the House of Representatives, Thaddeus Ste .veus said. ‘ ‘Some distinguished advocates of the Tight of suffrage declare that thin/do not expect to obtain it by Congressional Legislation. I tell gentlemen if it ever is to come, it must be by Constitutional-amend ments.": Mr. Fessenden, on the part of the same Committee, m presenting these amend ments to the Senate, said lie was aware that all hficl not been gained which was hoped for, but enough had been gained. Equal rights had been guaranteed the ne gro. Ihe Constitutional amendment im posed a loss of representation upon the rebellious States if they denied the freed men these rights, and held out the reward of additional representation to those who seconded the policy of reconstruction con tained in these amendments. This he thought was as much as the present tem per of the country would stand. And Thaddeus Stevens, in a speech at Bedford on Tuesday last, as published in the FT. Y. Tribune, said; MIVrATTHN ISSUE TO BE 'SuAL'BEFO^i O fHl B LAVV ail mighty Lawgiver. I need not bo admonished that tho support of this doctrine is dangerous on tho‘ ove of an election. The doctrine may be «m -popiilar with besotted if/noranec. Jhd popular or un popuhtv, I shali stand by il until lam relieved of the unprofitable labors of earth." It is useless to pursue the subject fur ther. The lenders of thb Republican par ty 1 1 nve said that the negro is the issue in tlie coining election. They have said that tlie Constitutional Amendments so “ heartily endorsed” by tho Republican County Convention do bring the issue squarely before the people. Geary him self has said that he is “ not prepared to deny the negro thq right to vote; ” and now, once for all we ask the editor of tho Herald to give over his miserable trim ming, and to meet the question like a man. is he for or against negro suffrage ? Till; iIESEKTSB MW. The Radical Rebels are trying to sub vert the law of the land as decided by the Supreme Court of the State. They are striving to resist tho right of thousands of citizens to exorcise tlie privilege of vo ting. They aim at tho disfranchisement of a largo portion of tho people upon tho protex that they arc guilty of an offence of which they have not only never been convicted, but tbr which they have not been, and never will be, tried. These new Rebels against the laws, these despicable enemies to the freedom of the white man, had better not undertake to put their con templated fraud intopractice. They must remember that the law is against them; the highest judicial tribunal in the .State has declared that no man can bo deprived of his right to vote, simply because his name is found on a Provost Marshal's list of “ Deserters." The Supremo Court has de cided that a man must have been tried for and convicted of desertion, and the pun ishment of disfranchisement adjudged by tho proper tribunal, before he can be de prived of tire right to vote as being a de serter. That Court has also further deci ded that Judges of Election cannot try a man for desertion, but arc bound to take his vote, unless evidence of his conviction as a deserter and adjudication of the pen alty of disfranchisement by the proper tri bunal, in his case, are laid before them.— Hence, wo warn all election boards against being influenced by the foul schemes of the Radical Rebels who are plotting to overturn the laws of the State. ‘We say it in all earnestness and with a full de termination to mnko C ood our words TiV KRY ELECTION OFFICER WHO WILL DISFRANCHISE ANY SO CALLED DESERTER WHO IS OTH ERWISE QUALIFIED TO VOTE, WILL BE PUNISHED TO THE UT MOST EXTENT OP THE LAW. »miOCBATIC aiEETINOS. In another column will be found the list of Democratic District meetings appoint ed by the Standing Committee. The se ries commences at Hoguestown on Satur day afternoon next, on which occasion Hon. Sam’lHepburn, Gen. Geo. 'W. Bow man, Hon. A. J. Glossbrenuer and Col. B. J. Haideman, will be present and ad dress their fellow citizens on the issues of the coming canvass. We trust on Democratic friends in the different localities will turn out to a man to those meetings. Let there be such an outpouring of freemen as will strike ter ror into the hearts of our foes. JSST Wo see by the Repository that the Eepublicans of Franklin county intend to hold an “Antietam Celebration” in the shape of a Mass Meeting at Chambers burg, on the 18th of September, the anni versary of the battle of Antietam! When Gen. McClellan was a candidate for the Presidency in 1864, two years after he had fought this battle, the very men who are getting up this celebration called him a copperhead and a traitor, and insisted that he had gained no victory at Antietam.— In view of these facts, is there nota rath er strong smell of impudent humbuggery about their proposal to celebrate this bat-' tie now ? Couldn’t they have found some battle of Geary's to celebrate? J6®” General Geaby says the work of putting down the rebellion is only ” half done.” Gen. Grant,Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Slocum, Gen, McCook, Gen. Steodmau, Gen. Sickles. Gen. Blair Gen. Dix, Gon. Crook, Gen. Meredith’ Gen. Ewing, Gen. Eosseau, Gen, Custar, Gen. Couch, Gen. Granger, Gon. MqClernand, and a hundred other fighting qeneuijls of the Union army , who declare that their work is done—that the rebellion is over-that peace reigns and that the Union sJiaU be restored'— Does Geary mean to draw his very valiant sword against such as these ? Union Men.—Think of this! GEN U S. GEANTandGEN. W. T. SHEEMAN support the Presidentaud oppose the Eadi cals Generals John A. Dix, Daniel E. Sickles, H. W. Slocum, J. A. McClern and, W. W. Averill, G. A. Custer, W. Crook, a. G. Qillem, and a long list of then-brother generals have called a Na tional Union Convention of soldiers to sus tain the President. When all these he roes oppose Eadicalism, is it not time for nil good Union men to think of doing like wise? Come, now, will you follow the lead of Grant, Sherman and Dix, or that of Thad. Stevens, Charles Sumner and Ben Wade ? Sacred.— The remarks of the Eadical presses about the Philadelphia Conven tion certainly indicate great dread on their part of its effects on their party— The Convention simply made an appeal to the good senseandpatriottism of the people. Is the appeal founded in jus tice and-a proper appreciation of our no dical system ? If it is, ii w m hurt ; 0 . body but those who want to steal power for unlawful purposes. .This latter class, Eke the robbers of graves, are sacred at the rustling of a leaf, or their own hide ous shadowc. 7 . r T l H f, J r^ ck Hamlltou-Douglass-Geary- Mulatto Convention, at Philadelphia, last week, resolved to wear a mourning badge during thirty days for the "martyred Dostie.
