The people.have submitted to the im pudence and villainy of these political gamblers long and patiemly, hoping against hope for more than seven long years. During tho Lincoln administra tion, when thousands of Northern men were dragged to prison or to a fort, when law, decency ami right were ] scoffed at and put at delianco, when .printing offices were sacked and women and children insulted by hirelings and cowards, we were told by Republicans that these outrages were considered ne cessary ami proper so long as tho war lasted, but that they would end when the rebellion was suppressed and peace restored. It is now nearly four years 4 since the rebels laid down their arms, and what do wo see? By direction of tho bold, bad men of the Jacobin fac tion—the men who, unfortunately for tho country, arc among its recognized 1 leaders—tho while men of the South < are disfranchised, impoverished, and browbeaten, and the destinies of those once groat and rich States are placed under tho control of ignorant negroes and white seallawags hailing from the New England Stales. Those white men from Massachusetts, Vermont and other Yankee States, who, with carpet bags in their hands, have domiciled themselves in the Southern States for the time being, aro the very scruff of creation, ready to do anything, say ■ anything, so that they may he benefit- I ed. Some of these sharp-nosed crea tures, we notice, have been “ elected” . Senators; others are members of the • State Legislatures; and the balance; are either holding couutj’ offices, or offices connected with that sink of ini quity, tho ITccdmcn’s Bureau. The white men of the South, as we have said—the men of brainsand character— are made tho hewers of wood and draw ers of ivator for negroes and “ low whites,” and tho whole South in tho mean time remains impoverished uu- i der the dominion of those men and a ! standing army of sixty thousand troops, j A Stale of affairs like this will not j long be submitted to.

The solid men of the country, thank God, have got their eyes open to these infamies, and when they speak next fall, it will he in a voice that will cause tyrants and thieves to tremble. lake lire on the prairie, the tide of public opinion will be inesistiMe, and he who attempts to stem tho torrent will be consumed in Die people’s wrath.—* The days of Die Radieal-Jaeobin-negro party are numbered.

MEETING OF THE COtSTV COMMITTEE Immediately under our editorial head will be found a call for a meeting of the bemuerulie Standing Committee of this eounty. This meeting lias been called by fifteen members of the Committee. U seems that the Chairman of the Com mittee and the members are not of the «ame opinion in regard to the ihoc our next County Convention should be held, the Chairman, as wo learn, contending for a late and the members of the Com mittee for an curly Convention. Lot tin* C'ljnmiuee then meet together on Saturday, the Gth of June, ami decide on the time the County Convention shall bu held. This call for the Com mittee to assemble, is right and proper, and in accordance witli a by-law of the Committee. Any live members can call the Committee together as often as they sec proper. According to the rule, the Chairman Ims no authority to call meet ings of the Committee, except through courtesy the Committee permits him to do so. The by-law of the Committee siys “five members shall call all meet ings nothing is said about the Chair man except that ho “shall preside at all meetings.” We repeat then, let eve ry member of the Committee attend the meeting on the Gth of June, and with out feeling or difficulty, name the time f>r the meeting of the County Conven tion. Let all attend. Tiiad Stevens, says the New York Times, has just had the picture of wit nessing a spectacle which he was once anxious to behold. On the 2d of March, when impeachment was introduced to the House, lie cried, (raising his finger over his head and pointing toward the Senate,) “ let me see the recreant who dares to tread back upon ins steps and vote on th* other side. Point me out one who dares do it, and you show me one who dares to he regarded as infa mous by posterity.” We don’t know how the spectacle of Monday and Tues day affected Mr. Stevens. But when he saw the oldest and most distinguish ed member of the Senate, the ablest lawyers iu the body, the men who were* the founders of the Republican party, and are now its' ing against impeachment, iie must have felt how little his threats had amounted to. lie must have become conscious that there were some men who spurned his dictation and scorned his menaces. * 50 4 50 8 00 10 50 15 00 2T> 00 Tim number of disappointed qflicc seekers at this moment is immense.— About a hundred politicians expected , by this time to be members of “ Presi dent” \Vade’sCabinet;abuutatbousand expected to have foreign missions, and about a hundred thousand expected I nice fat places throughout the country. , “ President Wade,” we are told, was to make a “leicnu sweep,” routing out everybody, and making room for his friends. Wo have heard of a great many bargains among great politicians ■in anticipation of ids advent to power. .13ut now bargains, hopes and e.vpecta ■BUaha'afe.all blasted-, /tie not muufij’X. ... T THE HEADING OUT BUSINESS. Forney is now engaged in reading out of the ranks of his rotten party all who fail to come up to the full Radical requirement. Some days ago he noti fied Chief Justice Chase, together with Senators Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Norton, 'Ross, Trumbull and Van Winkle that they hud been kicked rut of tin* Republican party, and that hereafter they would be rc g irded as “ the worst of copperheads.” Not satisfied with this, Forney also notifies the following Radical journals that their services are no longer requir ed, and lie bids them farewell, and hopes they may have a good time of it in defending copperheads and traitors, viz :—New York Evening Pott , Chicago Tribune , Cincinnati Commercial, dence Journal, Springfield Jicpublivan, Bridgeport Standard, Buffalo Adver tiser, Buffalo Express, and Hartford Courant. It will be noticed that the men thus read out of the Radical ranks are the master intellects, the brains and respec tability of the party, and the papers thus ostracised are the most able in the Republican list, aud havo heretofore furnished ideas for the Radical whiffet press. Several of them arc the most prosperous journals in our country, and could buy and sell a dozen papers like Forney’s Press. But these statesmen and jurists, and these no longer to be recognized by the Radical party—they have been ordered out by John W. Forney, and we notice that a hearty response is given to Forney’s or der by the Radical journals that still remain “truly loil.” Well, if the Radical party can live without brabis, it will besomething new under the .-un. It never had much character, but \v!au little it hud was given it by the very men who arc now read out of its ranks. What superlative impudence, howev er, is all tillsV Forney, a new convert, to read the old father* of the Radical party out of its ranks! lie, who onl.\ left the Demoerulie parly because Mr. Buchanan could not or would not make him one of his cabinet. Everybody knows that had President Buchanan yielded to Forney’s greedy demands he would have remained the same bitter Democrat lie had been all bis life. And everybody knows that this same For ney tendered his services to President Johnson, and offered to defend and up hold his reconstruction views in his “two papers both daily,” provided the President would agree to let Forney name men for various offices, and thus give him un opportunity to tax these men. President Johnson has Forney’s letter in his possession making this proposition. But President Johnson did not see lit to bribe Mr. Forney aud of course Mr. Forney quarreled with the President just as ho had quarreled with Mr. Buchanan ; and all this be cause he was permitted to filei* money from the Treasury. Is he not a beauty, then, to read out of the Radical ranks such master intellects of the par ty as Chief Justice Chase, Fessenden, Trumbull, i'rimeH, and others equally distinguished ? This political adventu rer, who only joined the Radical party because of its corruption, for him to put on airs and to grow impudent on the hands of the men who made the party, and who do believe in its teachings, is, beyond question, a sublime price of ego tism. Why, it is the jackal dictating to the lion—the buzzard attempting to talk to the eagle. Really, Forney has become “ too large for his breeches.” And now that the Radical party is minus of brains, and is utterly bank rupt in character, down it goes. With the exception of two or three New Eng land States, we doubt if Useless Grant can carry a single Northern State. Nor should he. At this particular juncture in our affairs we want a Statesman, a man of giant mind, not a fool and drun kard, in the Executive chair after the -Ith of March next. It would be a burn ing shame and most disastrous calamity to elect a creature like Grant to this high aud responsible position, and we feel satisfied that such men as Chase, Fessenden, Ti unibull and others of equal intellect take inis view of the subject. They will assist to save the country by throwing their influence against the great smoker (’iiaulkston, Muy HO.—The Conservatives of Charleston have nominated for Mayor Colonel Wm. I*.

A Yankee Bureau agent —one of those bipeds who skulked duty during the war—is much more popular with niggers and extreme Radicals, than an ex-officer of our army. The one feeds thousands oflazy negroes from the people’s rations, tlia other fought tire rebels “during the war.” Of course the nigs and the “ extreme Radicals” prefer the man who feeds them. The reception abroad of the nows of the President’s acquittal, tire cable in forms us, created “a profound sensa tion.” All the London papers have editorials on the subject, which, judging from tire- extracts, are chiefly remarka ble as showing how little London jour nals really know of American political affairs. But that tire common-sense view of the verdict on that side of the water is correct is manifest in the an nouncement that “American securities are Armor and more active; that better prices are realized ; and that United States flve-tw ntics, both in London and on tho continent, have materially advanced.” That tells the story. Mb. Evakts compared the violent and abusive course of Butler and his fellow-managers to the practice of the Chinese, who make a great noise to frighten away their enemies, and to the explosion of two hundred and fifty tons of gunpowder at a safe distance from the wails of a fort, with the expectation of reducing it to ruins. This allusion to Butlers powder boat and its ridicu lous inciilcacy, drew a general laugh from tiie auditory, hut if Ben felt any sting ho did not show it.

Nearly every political gambler in the country took to that party as naturally as a duck takes to water or a buzzard to carrion. Tno very fact that that lecherous man, Thad Stevens, is the recognised leader of this “ party of moral ideas,” is evidence of its character and its aims. Stevens, it is well known, is an infidel, who sneers at everything moral. Thirty years ago, as leader of the Anti-raasonic party in this State, ho advised iris followers “to throw conscience to the devil, and treat the election as though it had never taken place.” His attempt to carry out this suggestion brought on the Buckshot war, at a cost to the people of Pennsyl vania of nearly t.vo hundred thousand dollars. At that time Forney wanted to hang Stevens, and it would have been fortunate for tho country had For ney’s proposal been carried out. Ste vens escaped, however, through tho hack window of the .House of Repre sentatives, and from that day to this ho has been the defaraer of tho best men in the laud, and .the unscrupulous as sailant of our country and its institu tions. Lot any man daro to talk of , conscience or the sanctity of an oath, and he is sneered into silence at once by this wicked and unscrupulous man. ! As an illustration—lathe Rump House , at Washington, a few days since, Bte , Yens was declaiming, in ids usual slan derous manner, against the Republican Senators who had refused to perjure themselves in tho impeachment husi ■ ness. After consigning these Senators , o“deep damnation,” a question was 1 asked Idm by a fellow-member, viz: Mr. Hosa—l nslc tlu* gonlUMnnn fnun Porusy ••lima whPthyr, in Ills opinion, Senators \toul it*Juslllled In piMjmiug ili«>ms«>lvi<s for tbopui mw of procuring a coii\ iction ol the President • Mr. Stevens—Well, sir, f do not think It woul luirt them. Such was the reply of Stevens, tha ru ler of the lluuso of Representatives and the leader of “ the party of moral ideas.” is it not enough to curdle the Wood in men’s veins to hear blasphemy like this in the National House of Representa tives? To see this old man, who is now tottering into his grava, get up in ids place in tiro House and declare that it would not have “hurt them” (the Senators) had they perjured themselves if perjury was necessary to convict the President, was a piece of wickedness calculated to make tho imps of the in fernal regions tremble. And yet this sentiment, vile, infamous and horrible as it was, “created laughter ou tiro Re publican side of the House.” The “party of moral ideas,” indeed ! Mr. Wilson insults the nation when he lima speaks of his infamous iaetion.— He, aa much ns any other man recog nises Stevens as his leader; ho obeys him with tho obedience of a whipped spaniel, and no man or sot of men who follow the lead of Stevens can lie “ mor al” or even decent. Tho man who sneers at tho sanctity of an oath, and recommends perjury to save his party, is a wretch so vile that it would appear like mockery to speak of him as a hu man being. There are thousands of people in the land who believe that John Wilkes Booth was hired by now prominent Radicals to slay Abraham Lincoln, and that they then gave him up to destruc tion by their minions in tho hope of covering their tracks. The closeness with which tho other prisoners were guarded from outside intercourse; 'the unfairness of their trial, and the haste with which they were put out of the world, all give color to the suspicion, whilst the plot now maturing to com plete the work which the assassin left unfinished—i. e. the destruction of An drew Johnson—seems to fill tho men.— ure of proof against them. Abraham Lincoln fell a victim not when lie per formed his most arbitrary and hostile acts against secession, but at a time when he was healing the wounds of war; holding out the olive branch, and preparing to gather the repentant “ re bels” into the old Union. Andrew Johnson is falling beneath hostile blows for following in the last footsteps made by Abraham Lincoln 1 More Plunder.—Old Elihu Wash burns, “the watchdog of the Treasury,” has secured the passage of a bill appro priating $87,000 to supply a “ deficiency” in the reconstruction expenses in Meade’* District. A line old watchdog Elihu is, to be sure! snarling at other people, while ho iy gorging himself with plunder. But how came ibis “ deficiency” in Sat rapy number Three ? Is the appropria tion made to cover the expense of bring ing relays of negroes from one county to another to vote for the “ Constitooshin,’ or (o coversomething else that can’t bear exposure? As we must pay our share of it, we would like to know. In Ohio political reaction keeps pace with the wishes ofthe moatardent friends of a speedy return to the old constitutio nal form of government. At a late hotly contested election for Marshal of the City of Dayton, in which nearly 4,500 voles were cast, tho Democratic candi date, John Ryan, was elected by forty five majority. At the last election the Republicans succeeded in Dayton by some two hundred. Everything is look ing well in Ohio, and the vote of that State may be safely counted for tho Democratic candidate for President. Joe Bxu'WN, the “red-hand traitor” who cast the vote of the Georgia jnou grel delegation in the Grant-Uolfax con vention, is pronounced “a chivalrous Southerner,” a “ good patriot,” a “thor ough Unionist,” and all that, by the Radical press. It’s all because he has joined the Radical ranks, swallowed the nigger and sunk his fellow rebels into political perdition. Such a fellow is just about tit for his present asso ciates. lie would steal sheep or rob his grandmother. TiucNew York Independent , the re ligio-politico organ of “ the party of great moral idea,” says : One fact will have some weight with genuine Republicans—ihc fact that, if Mr. Johnson is acquitted, reconstruction and lb© Republican party are destroyed together.

I ‘ > > •k-^rr- rr ’ :• ‘ THE OniNT-CULFAX I’I.VTFOISM. In another column we print tho plat form which tho Radicals setup for their candidates at Chicago, on tiro 21st inst. W« feel no hesitancy in giving it a wide circulation among the people, believing that it bears most conclusive internal evidence of antagonism to tho popular desires and requirements, ns well as oi faithfulness tothc public interests. The common sense man will see at a glance that it is weakest in its strong points, and strong in nothing except by its si lence upon those vital questions which require an expression of explicit convic tions. As a whole, it is contradictory ; un certain- and shuffling in some things ; positively infamous in others, and, as a whole, is unworthy of a party culling its elf National, What for instance; could be more recreant to tho republican sys tem—of ithich the-adherents of that or ganization profess to bo tho special and exclusive exponents—than the partial and sectionaUiroposition that the great right of suffrage shall be dispensed and regulated in the Southern States by Congressional enactment, and in the Northern Stales shall be controlled only by the people thereof? Again, see tho shuffling character of the repudiation resolve; tho weakness and indcliniteness of that regarding tax es, and the puerility of the policy which declares that the rate of interest on the public debt should be reduced “when ever it can honestly be done.” See, again, how wordy and windy tho platform is upon those subjects upoh which there is no dlfleronco of opinion among tho American people—tho fos- tering of emigration ; cave lor tho wid ows and orphans of the soldiers, and protection of naturalized citizens abroad. Nearly all tho vitality of tho Conven tion seems to have been expended upon those subjects, which properly belong to the business of legislation and charity, and do not furnish and never have fur nished matter for dispute or controver sy between political parties since tho Know Nothing party—the progenitor of tho Radical organization—died its disreputable death. In only one other respect is tho plat form equally prolix—in condemnation, or rather, abuse and misrepresentation of the President—and in that its con structors seem to feel assured that they are not treading on dangerous ground. Thus the trilies of political strife and extraneous matters which should have no place in a partisan platform, are made the burden of the song, and the great and vital issues before tho country are shuffled off in a single sen tence, hid out of sight, or twisted and distorted into hideous shapelessness. Notwithstanding that there are all these objections to the Radical platform wo think it not too trifling and decep tive for those who are to stand upon it, A better platform would not have har monized with the candidates, or they with it. Let them go together, then to certain defeat by tho people in No vember, iwoit i.«v On the 12th of this mouth, Gen.

It will be recollected, says the Har risburg Patriot , that, throughout tho trial, the Managers and impoachers la bored to make it appear that the “ high court “ was only n Senate—a mere politi cal body—the engine of 4 the Radical party—aud to imnuc Senators with the notion that their oaths were a mere for mality and of no binding force upon their consciences. The object of this movement is now apparent in Schcnck’s appeal to the Radical mob to influence, to overawe and compel Senators to ren der a partisan verdict. During the war mob-law was carried to a terrible ex treme by the Ra deal leaders, hut this hist attempt is more astounding and alarming than anything preceding it.— It is a plain and unmistakable declara tion that the partisan desires of a polit ical faction must he made to prevail over laws, customs, courts, constitu- lions, and the constituted authorilos of tho Government. So mean, so corrupt, so destructive a scheme as this ought not to be tolerated uncou domned and unpunished . during the slow process of popular repudiation at the ballot-box, but demands the prompt application of those legal penalties \Vhich existing laws provide for those who conspire to overawe judges and corrupt the stream of justice.

Tho Manager* and President’s counsel were all present with the exception of Manager rttovens. After reading the Journal of the last session, Mr. Williams moved to proceed with tho vote oh the remaining articles. Tho court then proceeded to vote on the second articles of impeachment. The vote stood 35 to 19, being precisely the same as the vole ou the eleventh article taken on tho sixteenth, as follows: OUILTY Messrs.

Tile court then proceeded to vote on tin third article. Tho vote resulted tin same as in the case of the second am eleventh articles. Mr. Williams now moved that the Sen ate sitting as a High Court of Impeach ment, adjourn sine die, which wasagreei KEEP IT IlEfOllE THE PEOPEB I That the Jacobin party are now keep ing up a standing army of SO,OOO men, in u time of perfect peace, and at an ex pense of from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year, not for the purpose of enforcing the laws and upholding the Constitu tion, but to.crush out the liberties of the people. Keep it also before thepeople, that a Ereedtnen’s Bureau is kept up, at an enormous expense, for tho purpose of furnishing a large number of crazy ' fanatics with fat offices, and to feed, clothe and nurse tho lazy negro, and swear him into the devilish Loyal Leagues which they are forming ail through the Southern States, for the de liberate and sole purpose of overturning tho whole political and social system of that section. Who pays for nil this?— We answer, tiro white working men of the North. They pay the taxes, and pay them, too, on every thing they use. Why are our annual expenses now near ly six hundred millions of dollars ? We appeal to the tax-payers of the North to take warning in time, and at once ar rest tuts wholesale process of squander ing their money, by a vile, traitorous and revolutionary party, before the pre diction of Webster, the great Expoun der of tiie Constitution, is verified. He said that “ if ever the Abolitionists suc ceeded in getting control of the Gov ernment, they would ignore the Con stitution of tho United States, set aside tho Supreme Court, change the laws of the land to suit themselves, deiuge-tfr' land with blood, aud finally bankrup the country.” The first four parts of this predictiq have already been verified. If the pot pie are not vigilant, and do not speed! ly arrest tho course of these revoluHoir ists, they will certainly see the lastcp verified and then only see their follyii having permitted these bad mentori/u tho country. Tho ballot-box is yi a peaceful means of delivery, and if (is is not properly used in an efficient nin ner, then other and more cffec|al moans will have to he resorted to. Couxerratlve Soldier* 1 mid .Sailor*' Nation] CoUTVUlioil, The Executive Committee appolmd by the soldiers’ and Sailors’ Couventln, held at Cleveland in 1866, have callei a National Convention of the Couservake Soldiers and Sailors of the United Sla> 3 to meet at the city of New the !*b of July next, to take action on the noii nation ofConservative candidate for Pis. ident and Vice-President.

As this la a very commendable idea, we hope o see no attemptat political chicanery in it out. The so-called G. A. B-, which is nothing more nor less than a political club, should make no effort to appear prominent in rendering this sa cred tribute to our departed heroes. Let ail who served in the war participate, and for the sake of decency let politics bo ignored. 1 The teachers and scholars of our schools, members of civic societies, the bar, cler gry, soldiers at our garrison, faculty and students of Dickinson College, are re quested to join the sailors and soldiers and give theiraid in the decoration. Ail persons who can furtiish flowers are re- Bpotfuily requested to do so. The base bail fever ia evidently on the decline throughout the country. Among our own clubs little activity is displayed JU perfecting organizations, and the sea son promises to lack the usual interest and brilliant playing of the past few years. ) 4 -
