Itesolued , That this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression , or for any purpose' of conquest, or for interfering with the rights or established institutions of these States, hut to defend and main tain the sui'BEMACv of the Constitu tion, and to preserve the Union with ADI, TUB DIGNITY AND BIGHTS of the several States unimpaired. [The above resolution was introduced in the Senate by Andrew Johnson him self.] fl@" Capt. John B. Worden, the hero of the' Cumberland, which was lost near Hampton Roads, has come out in favor of the policy adopted by Andrew John son, ium&i ,i’lic position of PresidfiHt Joliflsou lias furnished a splendid opportunity for the radicals to show their godii manners.— That clerical blackguard Bbownlow al ludes to him as a “dirty dog,” and an other radical sneers at him as “ a drunk en trousers-mender.” In the Philadel phia radical Convention, a resolution was offered requesting the President to resign, when a voice was hoard “no need for him to resign ; Chicago, will save him that trouble;” another voice, “they’ll throw him into the Jake;” a third voice, “they’ll poison the waters of lake Michi gan with his carcass.” But the recent tour of the President furnished by all odds the best opening for radical black guardism. As the Presidential party ad vanced on its route, Governors and May ors ran away from home; to avoid doing honor to the Chief Magistrate of the na tion., Wherever the President spoke, he was interrupted and jeered, he was fa miliarly called “Andy;” ho was asked “ how about New Orleans'’” and “why don’t* you hang Jeff Davjs?” lie was branded as a “traitor;” and at some pla ces the hooting and jeering compelled him to desist from speaking. Such con duct towards the chief ruler of the peo- ple would have been disgraceful in a na tion of barbarians; and when it comes from the party which claims to. monopo lize all the dignity anddcceucy ina coun try like ours, it speaks well for Ameri can manners. All tills receives no rebuke from those sticklers for " dignity” whose fine sense of propriety is so outraged at the tree and direct manner in which the President re torts upon iris assailants, He speaks plain ly in self-defence'the thoughts of his mind —there is no -hypocrisy in hia heart or upon ids lips. Ho says what lie means. He appeals to tho people as one who ad dresses them as their equal, asking no immunity as an exalted officer of tho government, claiming no forbearance and no shield except what truth and justice, afford. It is this true republican sim plicity, this unchecked frankness of a simple citizen, not above nor below the mass of his countrymen, that gains him a hearty welcome from tho honest and plain men for whose welfare ho lias al ways labored, and to whoso love of coun try, sense of rectitude and fair dealing ho appeals to sustain Idm against the in trigues of nion Careless of tho means they employ, or the suffering they create, or tho final wreck of constitutional liberty, if they can accomplish their grasp at power and patronage. -CKAIIITV FOB nm iRDS NONE.” A Committee was appointed -by the Philadelphia negro-equality-HoiKi lass- GEAKY-disunion Convention to take a trip over tho same ground that President Johnson had traveled, for the purpose of making speeches in reply to those tho President had delivered. The infamous Brownlow and notorious Jack Hajiii.- ton are two of this traveling menagerie. It is the intention of this Committee of traitors, wo see it stated, to visit the tomb of the late President Lincoln, at Spring- Hold. Why they should "visit the tomb of a man whose principles and sayings they despise and spit upon, we cannot imagine. When thesedismdonistsgath er about the tomb of Lincoln, lot them read on die base of ids monument lids inscription—“ Charity for all—malice to wards none.” This is Air. Lincoln’s own language—the greatest utterance of his life—made immediately after the close of Hie war, and foreshadowing his policy of reconstruction. Let the infuriated devils composing the Committee from the disunion-mulatto Convention, read this inscription carefully, and if they are not unfeeling tieuds and besotted brutes, they will hide their heads in shame, and retire from the tomb of Lincoln wiser and better men. Those words of the de parted President should burn into the very souls of the bad men who are now making war upon President Johnson’s policy— >a policy inaugurated by Lincoln himself and which lie intended to adhere to had lie lived. The men “at the other end of tlie line” who are now moving heaven and earth in making war upon Aniimow Johnson, would ho denounced as traitors by Lincoln could lie now speak. Johnson’s policy was Lincoln's policy. Johnson is hut carrying out what Lincoln had commenced. This is so notoriously true, that no responsible or truthful man will deny it. Let the Brown lows and Jack Hamilton's, therefore, when they visit the tomb of tlie “martyr,’.’ and read these words on ids monument, remember that those words contain a most withering rebuke to them selves and traitors like them. 22. “ 24. “ 2G. “ 27. “ 27. “ 2S. “ 20. out. 2.

Read it, everybody. It will attract attention, not only on account of its intrinsic merit, but because of the per son from whom it comes. Ancestry does not go for much in this country, but when a man speaks who has the blood of two Presidents in bis veins, and whose father ranks among the most eminent of our statesmen, he will at least be listened to with respectful atteutiou. It is un derstood that tile opinions expressed on national affairs by .Toiin Quincy Adams are the same as those hold by his. father, Charges Francis Adams, our present Minister to Great Britain. WIDE AWAKE. Wednesday, September a>, is the last day for getting ASSESSED. Demo crats see to this ! We have usually lost a few votes in nearly every district, by neglecting to have every man assessed. Will we never learn wisdom from our en emies? Shall so small a matter bo per mitted to injure us? Let all Democrats •be assessed, at once, EVERY MAN —especially those who voted on ago last year. NEGRO SUFFRAGE AT EAST. The Radical National Convention at Philadelphia, has issued an address favor ing “ Universal Suffrage." Ex-Secretary Speed and other delegates left the Con vention. Jack Hamilton swore that if tiie Convention didn’t adopt “ Universal Suffrage" he wouldn’t stump, an hour for Geary. So, “ Republicans,” you have now your national platfornaT Get on it, or you’ll be put out of the party. i ; ii ii w,nvuiiA.«if tifosrVßjj.jfiojr;" 'jfllc Convention of Soldiers atid Sailors nuM f in session at Cleveland, appears to annoy the Radicals, very much. The names .attached to the call should have scoured for it respect even where appro val might bo withheld; for they represent the military and naval glory of the Uni on. There is n‘ot a holiday-soldier among icm—not a man who has not earned the gratitude of ids country by service in its hour of peril. Tlioy are victorious sol diers, too—heroes whoso achievements iill the brightest pages in the history of the struggle for the nation’s life ; and the memory of whoso commands will be cher ished by the gallant “ boys in blue.” — Yet Radical journals, like the Washing ton Chronicle and Philadelphia I‘rcss, are exerting themselves to cover the call and its authors with odium and contempt.— Tlio bravest and most successful soldiers of the Union army are scolded as so many cowards and traitors, because they insist that Congress shall not cheat the country of the fruits of its victory. More moder ate journals on the same side discern the folly of this unreasoning partisanship, and protest against it. They say, with the Hartford Courant, that “the Union Party cannot afford to become a party of Brownlows and Stevenses;” and urge that self-respect, if no higher principle, dielates more courteous treatment of the promoters of the Cleveland Convention. These remonstrances, however, have not produced any appreciable change of tone. Tlie brave men in whoso behalf Custer, and McCook, and Rousseau, and Crook, and Meredith, and Ewing took the in itiatory step of issuing tlie invitation are still maligned as poltroons, and tlie Cou voivtion is continually hold up as a move ment in' the interest of rebels. What adds to the grossness of the in sult is tho.fact that the very writers who assail men of whom many poured out their blood for tho Union, are magnify ing the importance of a certain Radical muster which is to come off at Pittsburg. Tlie promoters of tho latter are, for the most part, either stay-at-home soldiers, or soldiers who, IJkc Butler ami Banks and Sohurz, never did any tiling to which any soldier in the army can look back willi pride. Tho difference between the two Conventions will he tho difference between soldiers who wear laurels won in battle, and soldiers who have nothing to boast of but shoulder-straps. B-’AFTS FOR Tilt: PEOW.K. John AY. Geary,-tho disunion“eandi date for Governor, a few years ago bo longed to a secret political organization that bound ils members by an oath to op pose the r/eratiuu of men to offices of a po- litical character who were horn in Ireland , (tcnnnny, or any other foreign country, or dared Jo differ with them upon reli gious doctrines. That class of voters will remember Geary on the second Tuesday October. John AY. Geary lias openly espoused the cause of Thaddeus Stevens & Co., wiio seek the elevation of idle negroes at the expciwe of (lie poor white man’s political rights. That class of voters will remem ber Geary on tlie second Tuesday of Octo- John IV. Cleary endorses ail tho illegal icts of the Jacobin faction in Congress, riio, among oilier enactments voted themselves hfo thousand dollars extra van and refused to do justice to the poor white soldier who fought the battles (jf the Union. That class of voters will re member Geary on the second Tuesday oi October. John W. Geary is opposed to the poli cy that Andrew Johnson has adopted, tending to restoration, and will be voted for as the enemy of that policy. Voters will boar this in mind on the second Tuesday of October. John W. Geary, Benj. F. Butler, Carl Scburz, Milroy, and Pope, whose head quarters were in his saddle, support the disunion policy of Congress, while Gen’s. Grant, Sherman, Slocum, Custer, Frank lin, Stoedman and nine-tenths of the offi cers and soldiers of the army and navy are ready to defend the jjolicy of Andrew" Johnson. Soldiers who fought for the lestoration of the Union, remember this on tire second Tuesday of October. John W. Geary, is not entitled to the suffrage of any person who has the wel fare of his country at heart, and will not receive support from Union men unless they arc deceived by the sophistry of de signing politicians. Wo trust the read ers of the Volunteer will use their best endeavors to disabuse the minds of their neighbors, who are induced to favor the cause of restoration, and think they arc favoring sucli an end by voting for Geary. It is only necessary to stale the issue as presented by the .record of the two con flicting interests. HOKE KICKINCt IN THE TRACES. The Shirieysburg (Huntingdon coun ty) Herald, a very able Republican pa per, hauled down the name pC-Geary last week from its mast-head, and run up the name of Cgymer, The editor says lie is'now fully convinced that negro equality and negro-suffrage are the grand objects of the Radicals, and that he can not and will not disgrace, himself and his paper by giving countenance to the move ment. The fact that Geary and Fred. Douglass, the Boston negro, sat side by side on the platform at the recent disuni on Convention at Philadelphia, is posi tive evidence that Geary approves and endorses the negro-equality, disunion movement. The editor appeals to ids party friends to assist him to put down tins infamous scheme. General Grant's Father anil Brother Sup port the Presidents Policy* A Telegram to the Associated press, da ted-Cincinnati, Sept. 12th, states that the President and suite arrived in that on that day on board the steamei United States. The following, amoiij. other incidents, is given in.the account Colonel Grant, the father of General Grant, was on board, mul was warmly greeted by the President. The Colonel informed the President, he supported his policy, when the President said he was glad to see him and such solid men stand ing by the Constitution and the Union in this hour of peril. The President said ho wanted nothing but the i nlon*of the entire States. Colonel Grant, the brother of General Grant, was present during the conversation, and he too heartily endorsed the President’s views. Where He Stands.— Gen. Geary, the abolition disunion candidate for Governor of- tliis State, was a delegate to the negro rights convention, which met in Phila delphia on the 3d inst. He and the ne gro Fred. Douglass marched in the same procession. S’HSil'Aitfi '*« MlilHT-'JfllteM, I 1 wo or three substantial men should be selected to watch at every Poll in the State, to take.' down the monies of every such person, as may be deprived of the right to vote under the pretext of de sertion, with the evidence of the facts, that the election officers so offering may bo punished. WARNING TO EI.HCTION OFFICERS. The BeliefoiUe, county Watchman of September 17th, records the conviction of two members of the Election Board of Snowshoe township, in- that county, for illegally refusing the vote of an alleged deserter at the election in October, 1865. Thus, while Governor Curtin and the gang of Snickorsvillians who surround him at Harrisburg are sending out lists of alleged deserters, and instructing their friends on the various Election Boards throughout the State not to permit those to vote, the Court of Curtin's own county, presided over by a Republican Judge, con victs two election officers for refusing to receive the vote of an alleged deserter. In his anxiety to secure a seat in the Senate of the United States, Curtin is urging the Republican election officers everywhere to commit an offence for which they may bo tried, convicted, and punished. It is a pity tire chief Sniokersvilliaus cannot bo indicted and convicted along with their poor tools on the Election Boards, but if these latter wilt bo dupes and victims, let thorn suffer. [From tbc Hellefouto Watchman.] Conviction of an Election Boaiid fob REFUS ING TO ItECEIVE THE VOTE OF AN ALLEGED “ De- SKKTEH.”— I The trial of Joslah H. Brown. D. M. Betts, unci !)■ H Yeager, Election Board of Show shoe township, for Illegally refusing the vote of John Dayton, at the October election in 1805, re sulted In the conviction of Brown and Betts and I ho ucqultal of Yeager, the Court having Instruc ted the Jury that they could not convict the lat ter under the evidence. The facts of the cose, as given in evidence on the trial, are about ns follows: John Dayton, a man of foregin birth, presented himself at tho window at the October election in 1805, offering his ballot In one hand and his naturalization pa per and a receipt for tuxes In the other. Ho was challenged by one of the Board ns a deserter, as ho had been absent from tho township during one of tho drafts. They refused to allow him to vote unless he would take an oath that ho had not left the township to avoid the draft. Mr. Day ton refused to do this and his vote was rejected, Mr. Yeager protesting against tho action of the Board and "being overruled by his companions. Mr. Urvis assisted the District Attorney In the prosecution and Mr. M’AUister conducted the defence. The jury were, out but a short time when they returned with a verdict of guilty as to Brown and Betts mid not guilty as to Yeager. We hope the effect of tills trial may bo to pre vent all such Illegal attempts to deprive qualified voters of their rights In the future. Tr.KltlllT.l) ACCIDENT. A terrible tuul distressing accident hap loned at Johnstown, this State, on Fri lay lust. Several hundred people—men, women anti children —had assembled on an old bridge that spans a ravine at that place, to have a good view of tho Presi dent, us he passed by in tho cars. Tho bridge was literally packed with the anx ious crowd, when all at once it parted and gave way, in the centre, precipitating its occupants to the graund, a distance of some twenty-five feet. The scene was terrible in tho extreme. Thirteen per sons—six men, five women, and two chil dren —were killed outright, ninety were badly wounded, some fatally, and sixty orsevonty received slight injuries. Phy sicians from Pittsburg and all the towns along the road east and west were soon in attendance upon tho sufferers. The whole town was in mourning over this terrible calamity. One of the Presiden tial party detailed to remain says: “ The scene was one of indescribable horror.— The groans of the wounded and the screams and tears of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters was the saddest sight I ever saw.” The same person adds: “The President and General Grant were ex ceedingly distressed, and were very anx ious that the special train should stop over an hour to afford os much aid as pos sible, but tire conductor stated that ar rangements made for meeting trains on the road precluded the possibility of car rying into effect the President’s humane wish, and after a few minutes the train started off.” The President has contrib uted §3OO to the relief of the sufferers. The great National Union Convention of Mongrelists, hold in Philadelphia week before last, broke up because it could'nt help it. It was a singular affair for pro fessed Unionists. The Northern negroitcs did not unite in tiic mixture, because they did not like the Southern ingredients, and wore afraid. They kept floating about as moths round a tallow dip; shok hands with negroes, drank wine with Fred Douglass and An na Dickinson, and talked negro. The Western men kicked at being bro’t to Philadelphia on a Black Swan mission without havingthe privilege of kissing their fust love ; but their kicking was of no avail. Strange that loyal Unionists eould’nt form a Union., Butler and Schenck came into the Phila delphia “ Convention” arm in arm. The Boston Post says they represented the arm-y and knav-y Worse and worse. The Border States, after trying hard to keep on terms of peace, baolcod square out, absolutely se ceded ! Whata Union! What consistent Union ists! Anna Dickinson scolded; Fred Doug lass stormed ; M’Mioliael took more Port: Bill Kelly wriggled; butall would notdo. The greaUNational Unionists, refused to unite, acknowledged_ secession ! broke up! lizzled out! and so ended the farce. A Card from Sir.

J. RAYMOND » ew-\ ork, Sept. 12,105 U. £©"• The Blacksmith earns his dollar a day, by bard work. With this lie sup ports himself, his wife and children. A republican Congress does not think of voting money to support in indleness the Blacksmiths of the country as it does to vote millions of dollars to support lazy negroes! You arc white, they are black. They Agues,— Greely, through his Tri bune, calls Thurlow Weed, an “infamous old villain,” and Weed, through the Al bany Journal, says Greely is “an old gray haired scoundrel.” These two men, both abolitionists, have known each other In timately for over forty years, and no doubt tell the truth. -> ; r BROKE BP. 3£T ij, ~a ~i' i' is * i o Ni STAND BACK Wlilto SOLDIERS! $3OO for Jfceroes, $lOO for While Men, WHAT I) 0 YOU. THINK OP IT? The pay department announces its readiness to pay tile bounties to negro soldiers, granted by the. Rump Congress in June last. It will require $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars) to meet such claims. This will drain the treasury so low that the white soldiers will have to wait many months yet for their boun ties; Congress provided bounty for the white soldiers out of “ any money in the treasury not. otherwise appropriated;’ but as the negro bill was passed first, the darkey soldiers’ claim must all be paid before the white soldiers can reach.adol- None of the Government officers are, responsible for this,; they must obey the laws as passed by the Rump Congress.— The blame is entirely with the Disunion majority, who considered it their first duty to reward their “ colored brethren” because in the war they “boro off the palm.” (!) Let it be recollected, too that the sum of $3OO each was appropriated for the negroes, although none of them serv ed three years, and that only the sum of $lOO was set aside for the white soldiers of 1881 and- 1862 for three years’ service. Can the soldiers of Pennsylvania vote for the Disunion Congressmen who have been re nominated, after such shabby treatment? Can they vote for their can didate—Geary—who approves the whole courseof the Bump, and agrees with Thnd Stevens in everything ? A Letter from llalot-ficn. Custer on the Indianapolis IMstnrlmticcs. The following letter from Major-Gener al Custeli, gives the full particulars of the disunion-radical riot at Cincinnati on the occasion of the President’s arrival in that ■city. Read this account American free men, and then ask yourselves whether you can vote with a party that gives coun tenance to proceedings like this. Re member this was not a mob of,the moment. The whole tiling had been planned and well matured by leading disunion-Radi cals of Cincinnati long before the arrival of the President. It was a movement of the leaders of the disunion party, and they are the men to be held responsible for the murders which took place. Read Gen. C cjsteh’s letter everybody, and then let them reflect on the duty before them : Special Dispatch to'lhe New- York Times. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 12,1SGG. 7b Gen. S. Meredith: Peak Sir: In compliance with your request, and to correct misrepresentations already pub lished,! give you the following statement of what I saw relating to the disgraceful riot which occur red In Indianapolis on the evening of the Pre sident’s reception at that city. I had returned to my room from the supper-table, where I hadlelt the President and most of the party. The streets about the hotel were densly packed by the crowd waiting to see and hear the President. Loud and continued calls were made for Johnson, Sowabd, Grant, Farragut and others. I was seated in the window of my room, which was In the second | story of the Bates House and immediately over looking the crowd In the street. Several hun dred torches and transparencies borne among the crowd rendered, the scone as light as,midday, so that I could see and distinguish the faces of every person in the crowd below. lam thus minute in detail in order to prove to you that I could see all that was transpiring. Nothing .of a disorderly character occurred until one of the Marshals of, the day was seen making his way on horseback through the crowd to the point whore torch-bear ers were located. After apparently receiving di rections to that effect, they began to move off In column. This was the signal lor an attack by the crowd, which was begun by knocking down torches and transparencies with clubs, and some Instances wresting them from the hands of hold ers. This continued without resistance for the space of probably two minutes, although several In the procession had been struck and beaten over their heads. A rush was finally made by the crowd, and several torches forcibly taken from the procession and the handles used as weapons against those in the procession. The transparency bearing the motto “ Irish-Ameri- j can Citizens welcome the President of the United | [States,” seemed to be a special object of attack, and was seized and attempted to be trampled un der foot. The attempt failed, and tho bearer re sisted by using his transparency as a club. This was the signal for a general attack by the crowd. At this moment the first shot was fired, and as an effort has been made to attach the blame and responsibility of this disgraceful proceeding of that occasion upon innocent parties, and being in possession of facts which enable me to fix guilt where it belongs, I hereby state that I plainly saw the man who tired tho first shot, and saw him at the moment he fired. He was one ol tho attack ing party belonging to the crowd, and his aim when firing was directed Into the procession and apparently at the bearer of the transparency re ferred to above. This wasaslgnalfor othersnots, and it was not long before a dozen or so shots wore fired by the attacking party that any was returned by those belonging to the procession, when a single man left the procession, stepped into the open space which had been cleared by the firing, and deliberately aimed and fired twice at one of the mob, who was some twenty yards distant, and who was still firing toward the torch bearers. This closed the disturbance for tho time being. The facts as I have related theni, -were witnessed by Mr. Spoffoud, of Boston, Mr. Mc- Ginnis, of Chicago, and two ladies, all of whom are members of the President’s party who were in my room at tho time. Gen, Grant also witnessed them from another window, and In formed the President of what he had seen, a few moments after it transpired. After tho president returned to his room, facing the balcony, the crowd again assembled in iront, when another disturbance arose. I was standing with-the Pre sident In his room, when I heard two or three | shots fired; I looked out of tho window Just-in time to see a man fire a pistol at another man standing nearhim. The wounded man fell, and was soon after picked up and carried into a drug store on the lower floor. No more shots were ‘ fired. Gen Grant, after twice appearing on the balcony and requesting the crowd to disperse and go home, inducedTespectable persons to do so.— About 150 or more of the roughs and thugs of tho city, and who probably began and upheld the the riot, remained in front of the hotel, indulg ing in v.lle epithets until n late hoar. To use tho words of Secretary Seward on that occasion, the loyal Inhabitants had retired to their homos, while the disloyal remained In the street. , G. A. OUSTER. The undersigned, eye witnesses of the riot at Indianapolis on the evening of Sept. 10, do here by I tear unqualified testimony to the accurate and truthful description thereof contained in the lori'golug letter of Slujor-Qeu. Custer. JS@" Andrew Johnson, in adhering to the letter and spiritof the Constitution as a test of loyalty, in dealing with the re bellious children of the South, does noth ing more than carry out the wishes of the people, as expressed in the following re solution of Congress, passed with only live dissenting votes, July 23d, 1861 : “ Resolved, That this war Is not waged on our part “In any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose "otconquest, or for Interfering with the rights or “cstaVlishal institutions of these States but to DE-. "FEND and MAINTAIN tho SUPREMACY of “the CONSTITUTION, and to preservo tho “Union and ALL THE DIGNITY AND RIGHTS “of the several States UNIMPAIRED.” •: Delegates in Trouble.— The New York Staats Zcitung thus refers to two of the sable delegates to the late southern loyalists’ convention : COLORED DjJLEOATE»TO TUB RADICAL CONVEN TION IN Philadelphia-Arrested for Buhgla ‘n;-—l''-;° Colored parsons, Chos, Washington and John Haris, have been arrested In Plainfield, New Jersey, on tho charge of entering a drygoods store tuul stealing two hundred dollars’ worth of goods. On their persons were found their cre dentials us regular delegates to tho present sitting convention of Radicals in Philadelphia, and ac knowledged as such by that body. «®“ The Wood-Chopper earns his dol lar a day, by hard*work. With this he supports himself, his wife and children. A Republican Congress does not think of voting money to support in idleness the Wood-Choppers of the country as it does vote millions of dollars to support lazy negroes! You are white, they are black. Now that the Radical prlntsare de nouncing Andrew Johnson for his want of “ dignity,” it is well enough to revive a remark of Mr. John Van Bubbn, that the elegant and courtly manners of Mr. Johnson’s immediate predecessor have spoiled these Radicals, and made them over-fastidious, -—r - <■ ~* * l> 1 ~ T'C’'"'" ■»' - K - I I’ho bitter violence with which the Radicals all over the country are assuil in.>- President Johnson as a traitor, ami classing him with: Jefferson Davis, is intended to tire the popular heart, and prepare the way for d foible ejection of tile President from his dlflce; If the Rad icals carry the Congressidddl feleotious this lull, nil inipeachment will follow as soon as they can settle ajnong themselves the irrbu'iids of proceeding. A New fork delegate to tlie so-called Doyallsts Con vention at Philadelphia, Mr. 1 iioimiS J. of Buffalo,' who shares the feehngs and the secrets, but not the cunning, ol his. party, offered, on Tuesday, the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, Thatiu vlcwof the probablelmpeacli montof a hlgU officer of the United. States gov ernment, It would bo exceedingly Improper, un constitutional,' and dangerous, to luu'o twonty membors of the Senate designated, In effect, by the President of tbo United States, It is here declared that the Southern Senators must not be admitted, because their admission would obstruct the cess of “ the probable impeachment” ot Mr. Johnson. This resolution was not passed, only because the Republican load ers are too crafty to alarm. the country by so formal an avowal of their intentions. — But all their diatribes, and the whole spirit they manifest, show that they are preparing for and expecting a new civil war If they are beaten in the Congres sional elections, their courage will be broken and they will not dare to proceed. To bo sure, they would still have strength enough to impeach the President, as the present Congress does not go out until the 4th of next March. But the impeach ment by the House, and the trial by the Senate, would consume nearly the whole of the three months’ session, and the sen tence of deposition would hardly be de clared before the body passing it would bo defunct. The President would not submit. He would immediately call an extra session of the new Congress,- which would treat the impeachment ns null, and continue to recognize Mr. Johnson' as President. Au impeachment would, therefore, be futile unless the Radicals elect the next Congress. One of the Radical schemes for getting rid of the President is to pass a law for bidding the participation of the South in federal elections, and depose the Presi dent for refusing to execute it. This scheme is disclosed by Mr. Tremaine, the President of the Republican State Con vention, who said, in his speech at Syra cuse on Wednesday; If the South reject the oilers of the Union par ty I assume that the Congress of, 1808, like the Congress of 1804, pass a law declaring that the in surgent States shall not have their electoral votes, nor will such votes be counted, and In such ca ses they will 'not he counted. I assume further that while this law remains in force it will he ex ecuted, and that, if the Southern States should attempt to vote in defiance of it, the President, who will he bound to execute the law, will arrest such an Illegal and revolutionary proceeding.— From tho President’s haste to denounce the Lou isiana Convention as an Illegal assembly, al though it was not held in violation of any law, I cannot doubt that he will prevent any election or meet ing of the Presidential electors which shall be prohib ited by act of Congress. Jf. contrary to my assump tion, President Johnson shall refuse to perfonn this plain duty, 1 assume further that other constitutional means will be employed to execute the laws. Again J assume that any attempt by the South to trample such a law under foot would unite the North, and that the South, standing alone, would not obtain that majority which would be wanted as a pretext for taking posses sion of. the government, and in either of these cases the schema would fail; and as to a secondrebeUion, why, if these gentlemen are not satisfied with their experi ence in the first, let them try the second. Yes, let them try it. At the first tap of the drum , an army composed of veteran troops Capable of overcoming all opposition, HJowWcomc to the rescue, and, adopting the President's : opinion, that traitors must be punished, soldiers pro ceed to punish them. And I assume further that this time it would be effectually done—done with out the intervention of President or Congress, court, Jury, or military commission. We lender these people the olive branch, but if they will’ not have ft so, they can have the sword. True, here is no direct mention ol im peaching the President; but as it cannot pe supposed that he would allow the army to be used for such purposes as Mr. Tre main describes, it is plain that the Radi cals are planning to make his p.lace vacant, and create a new Oommanaer-ia-Chief, before the expiration of his term. Senator Yates, of Illinois, in one of his speeches at Philadelphia, also made a threat of military violence:; Governor Yates commenced by declaring his amazement that the accidental successor of tho great and good Lincoln should have turned traitor to the highprincivlesonwhichhchadbeenelecetd,and betrayed the loyal millions who had conferred upon him such a high and distinguished honor. He would apply to President Johnson'the language of an amiable Illinois judge to a'man who had been convicted before him of murder: “Mr. Smith, it is my duty to pronounce sentence upon you. .It is a painful duty, but the law requires me to fix some time when you shall be hanged. Now, Mr. Smith, I want to know when it will suit you to bo hanged?” Illinois, ho said, had raised two hundred and fifty thousand troops to battle in the cause of the country , <and was now prepared to raise five hun dred thousand more to finish the same good work. Governor Brown low, in reply to the serenade given him in Philadelphia, on Friday night of last week, breathed out threatenings and slaughter in the follow ing infuriated strains: But I say to you in all candor, and with the knowledge ot what I am saying and the use that may be made of it; that if the wicked spirit of the South, the rebellious spirit, combined with the treachery and copperheadism of the North, shall bring upon this country another war, and force you, gentlemen; to leave your homes and famil ies to Invade tho South and put down a secoiid rebellion, I want to have something to say about tho division of your forces the next time. I would divide yourarmy into three grand divisons. Let the first go armed and equlppcdas (he laws of the army require, with small arms and artillen/. Let them be the largest division, andlelthem do the killing. Let the second division be armed with pine torches and spirits - of turpentine, and let them do the burning. Let the third and last division be armed with surveyors' com passes and chains, andwc will survey out the land and settle it. We will first sell it out, to pay the expenses of the war with the proceeds, tinCL then settle it with, men who will honor this glorious banner. [Great applause.] These are my sentiments. It would be easy to extend such quota tions to almost any length, but bur space allows us to add only the following from Forney’s Philadelphia Press of yesterday. He is speaking of President Johnson, and thinks the Radicals are already ripe for , another civil war: And whatever he intends, a coup d'etaiov a coup do grace, he will bo accomodated to a fair trial, alike of his experiment and htmsolf. The Ameri can people were never in so rare a humor to deal -with a new rebel or a new civil war. It is clear from these atrocious menaces thatj unless the reckless Radical incen diaries are sternly rebuked by the people, we are on the brink of another civil war, by which the country will be deluged with horrors such as it has never witnessed.— We implore all virtuous, peace-loving citizens to consider the gravity of the ex isting situation—W.

Editor: —Never within the recol lection of any of our citizens was there such a glorious day experienced by the Democracy of the “upper end” as to-day. Early in the morning our village com menced filling up with the conservative people of our immediate neighborhood, and long before the procession arrived, crowds gathered at every convenient point, earnestly discussing the great ques tions that were to be presented to them at the meeting. At about eleven o’clock the head of the procession reached, the town, and a few minutes later our eyes were gladdened by such a sight as we' .never witnessed before or expect to wit ness again. Preceded by an excellent band the procession moved majestically through the town, countermarched and moved to the woods," One of the most beautiful features of the procession was the train of forty-three beautiful young ladies, each accompanied by a gentleman and each wearing a badge representing one of the States or territories. Another marked feature was, the large number of old gentleman who were present to cheer the hearts of the younger portion of the assemblage. Neverhave weseensomiioh enthusiasm manifested by all classes as was displayed at the meeting; • After reaching the beautiful grove the meeting was organized by the election of John B. Bratton, Esq., of Carlisle, President, with thirty-six Vice-Presi dents. After the organization of the meeting was effected, the Hon.
