The Into election in the (.olilcii
State has resulted most gloriously for
tho Di'inocrney and the Union.' Tho
Cons" have elected their Governor,
two of the three members of Congress,
and a majority of tho Legislature
thereby securing the election of U.
S. Senator. What make this victory
tho more significant, is tho fact that
for tho pant three years the Disunion
istrj bad carried the Stato by a major-
jority of about 20,000, almost a total
summorsault.
Tho Radical defeat is causing Bonio
rich developments. Their party has
split in two, and if the bulf is true, that
thoy charge upon each other, the
leaders of -both factions should bo
compelled to spend the remainder of
their days in the cnitentinry. They
have operated on tho Pacific end of
the line just as thoy have done, boro.
Tho one half of tho party has been for
sovon years employed in manufactur
ing bonds and Btamps and assesmn
taxes, while the other half has been
engaged in gathering and collecting
them ; and in making out their balance
sheet, a large deficit duvelopes itself
to the public. Whereupon each in
turn charges the other with robbing
and plundering tho Government and
pcop'o. llence the people bavo con
cluded to take matters in their own
hands, and have deliverod the affairs
of State over again into the hands of
the "Union-Savers." They have paid
dearly for thoir Radical wbibtlo.
1mmniy Proclaimed.
We direct spociul attention to the
President's amnesty proclamation in
thisissuo. The National Intelligencer,
the Administration organ, in alluding
to the force and effect of this docu
ment, says : "During the deliberations
" of the Cabinet, it is understood that
" it becamo evident that in the opin-
" ion of every member present tho
" legnl effect of tho contemplated am
" nokty proclamation would bo to re
" leave ull persons included within its
" terms from all disqualifications, as
" well as all penalties incurred by
" their complicity ia tho late rebellion,
" and of course, so far as tho action of
" the General Government is con
" corned, from all disability as to tho
" right of suffrage."
If this interpretation does not kill
Thad. Stevens, it will squelch bis trea
sonable bantling black reconstruc
tion. Tho l'rosidout s method of deal
ing with "reconstruction," and tho
California election, will "make Koine
howl."
A Specimen Brick. The Radicals
are greatly in love with Ben Wade,
one of tho Ohio Senators, and intend
to impeach and remove President
Johnson for the purpose of getting
Ben in bis place. The "grand moral
idea" candidate made a spoech at
Portsmouth, in that Stato, last week
in which ho spoke thus :

Tho people in tho Southern States,
under tho loyal programme, are com

This is dose enough to physic a canni-'
bal. Tho man who takes an onlh to
support Thud. Stevens' reconstruction
acts, is suro to riolato tho Constitu

ness and sin. Whosoever swears to
support the Constitution, '(if bo lives
up to his oath,) is compelled to oppose
Thad. Stevens & Co. Tho request of
theso men is peculiarly Puritan

bedamnod if you don't." Theso ltad

The lAittt Temperance Hodge.
Our readers are no doubt aware
that Gov. Geary runs the Temperance
wing ot the Loyal Leaguers, and
neither touches, tastes or handles the
"unclean thing."
Lust week three hotel keepers were
tried and convicted at Bcllefonte for
selling liquor without licenso, to mi
nors, and persons of intemperate
habits. His honor, Judgo Linn, in
accordanco with the law, proceeded
to pass sentence, upon tho parties
fine and imprisonment. Having dis
posed of two cases, ho was proceeding
to pass sentenco upon tho third, when
tho counsol for tho party (also a great
temperance advocate) jumped up and
for tho information of all read a par
don from the temperance Governor,
pardoning a man, not for soiling liquor
with license, but for violating tho law
and cheating tho Commonwealth out
of her fees. Tho pardon also saddled
over ouo hundred dollars of cost upon
tho count'. This is another illustra
tion of "grand moral ideas." We
prcsumo tho Court matnlcMod as

produced aa it did on a certain occa

A PROCI.AMATIOM.
Wiikrkas, In tho month of July
Anno Domini 101, tho two Houses of
Congress, with extraordinary unanim
ity, solemnly declared that tho war
then existiiiL' was not waged on the
part of tho Government in any spirit
of oppression, nor for any purpose of
conquest or subjugation, nor purpose
of overthrow or interlering with the
rights or established institutions of
tho States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of tho Constitution,
and to preserve, the Union with ull tho
dignity, equality and rights of tho
several Slates unimpaired, and that
as soon as thoso objects should bo no
complished tho war ought to ceaso ;
And, whereas, The President of the
United States, on tho t!th day of De
cember, A. D. ISliS, and on tho 20th
day of March A. D. 104, did, with
objects of suppressing tho then exist
ing rebellion, of inducing all persons
to return to their loyally, and of res
toring the authority of tho Unitod
Stales, issuo proclamations offering
amnesty and pardon to all persons
who had directly or indirectly parti
cipated In the then existing rebellion,
except as in those proclamutious was
spouiliod and reserved ;
Ana, whereas, lue i'residentoi lue
I'uited States did, on the 2'.Hh day of
May. A. D. lHOo. issue a lurthor proc-
Ittinutioa with tho same objects before
mentioned, and to the end that tho
authority of the Government of the
United Mates might lio restored, and
that peace, order and freedom might
ho eslaLlii-hed, and tho 1 resident did,
by tho suit! last proclamation, proclaim
and declare that bo thereby granted
to all persons who had directly or in
directly participated in the then ex
isling roNllion, except as therein ex
cepted, amnesty and pardon, with tho
restoration of all rights of property
except as to slaves, and except in cer
tain easel where legal proceedings
bad been instituted, but upon oondi
lion that such persons idiould take
and subsriho an oath therein pro
scribed, winch oalu should be regis
tered for sermaiient preservation.
And, whereas, In and Ly said last
mentioned proclamation ol tuo Zhh
day of Jiy, A. V. lourteen ex-
tonsivo ekiusca of portions therein spo
ciully deicribed, were altogether ex
cepted ai.d excluded from the benefits

And, whereas, The President of the

And, whereas, Ihere now exists no

of the United States prohibiting sla

of tho United Stales;
And, whereas, There nolongorcxist
any reasonable ground to apprehend
w ithin the Mates which were involved
in tho lato rebellion a renewal thereof.
or any unlawlul resistance by the
people ol said Mates to tho I onstitn

And, whereas, As largo standing
armies, military occupation, murtial
law, military trihunuls, and tho sus
pension uf tho privilege of the writ of
halieaa corpus, and tho right ol trial
by jury, aro in-line of ponce danger
ous to public liberty, incompatible
with tho individual rights of tho citi
zen, contrary to tho genius and s-urit
of our fVco institutions, and exhaust
ive of tho national resources, and
ought not, thereforo, to bo sanctioned
or allowed except in cases of actual
necessity lor repelling invasion or
suppressing insurrection or rebellion;
And, whereas, A retaliatory or vin
dictive policy, attended hy unnecessa
ry disqualifications, pains, penalties,
confiscations and disfranchisement,
now as always could only tend to
hindor reconciliation among tho peo
plo and National restoration, while, it
must seriously cm harass, obstruct
and repress tho ptpular energies and
National Industry nnd enterprise;
And, whereas, For theso rensons it
is now deemed essential to tho public
welfare and to the more perfect res
toration ofConstitution.il law and or
der that tho said last mentioned proc
lamation, so ns nforesaid issued on the
20lh day of May, A. D. ISti.S, should
bo modified, and that the full and ben

be opened and further extended to a

aforesaid exceptions have been hith
erto excluded from executivo clum

Now, thereforo, bo it known, that
I, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United Slates, do hereby proclaim
and declare that tho full pardon de
scribed in the said proclamation of
the .'!Hh ttav ot .May, A. I). lMtio, shall

Itadlcata tlarmcd.
The Radicals charge the President
with meditating a coup d'etat betweon
this and the 2oth of November, with
a view of preventing tho meeting of
Congress. -Now, although in many
rcHx.-ctd it might bo very desirable to
prevent tho meeting of such a mis
chiovous Congress as tho present, yet
tho 1 resident prefers thut it should
kill itself, ns it is likely to do, by its
own quarrels in regard to tho 1 Ton
dentiul nomination. There aro in that
Congress Wade men. Chase men, Fes
senden men, and Grant men tour fac
tions, and four candidates. Perhaps,
also, there aro a few Sheridan men.
But with four prominent candidates,
each with an army of outside seconds
and bolllo-holdcrs, the fight will lack
nothing of intensity and bitterness.
In the mean timo, let the Conserva
tives look on coolly aud dispassion
ately. With general amnesty in tho
South, and a good, sound believer in
the Constitution at tho head of tho
ticket, and the usual effort at the polls,
tli ere cannot be much doubt of their
success in November, lSijrt. Reports
Irom every section of tho Union rep
resent tho people as heartily sick of
tho present preposterous stale ol af-
fuirs. They demand a reduction of
taxes, a return to specio payments, a
reform in tho expenses of the United
States Government and will have
them, or will know tho reason why.
It is absurd, il is monstrous, that tho
Government expenditure now should
now bo five or six times greater than
it was in 1800. Thoro is no reason for
it, tbero can bo no reason for it, ex
cept the Radical necessity for support
ing negroes and other useless persons
in idleness, to sustain their waning
power at tho coming elections.
Hadicnl inconsistency.
The radicals aro alarmed that any
ono should proposo to pay Iho interest
upon renowod or existing Federal
bonds in paper. Republicans must
not forget, that tho Republican Legis
lature of Now York directed the State
Comptroller to pay tho interest on
tho bonded debt of that State in green
backs, although the bonds called for
gold. The'I'onnsylvania Legislature,
also, on the recommendation of Gov.
Curtin, ri pealed the law requiring tho
bonds of that Stato to be paid in gold.
Every Republican member voted to
pay in greenbacks. And the reason
given by the Legislature of both Stslos
was, that legal lender notes was '.ho
only money known to tho country
with which debts could be discharged.
Gentlemen, please to bo a liltlo more
consistent. State fuilh to pay ought
to bo as sacred as the Federal Gov
ernment, lieloro 1MU, millions were
borrowed npon a pledge of payment
back in specie, Individuals and Slates
trampled thoir obligations under feet
and tho Courts to their everlasting
disgrace, sustained tho repudiation.
A Pi. k aba nt Chascif. A turn in
the tide of our I mlian affairs has taken
place, and we may congratululo tho
country upon this. It seems thnt of
late wo kill moro Indians than they
kill ol us. Two camps of savages baro
been surprised in tho Pucbla Moun
tains, and a band of Cheyenne bavo
been defeated near Plum Creek.
These victories were gained, however,
by friendly Indians itt our service, and
we now see our way clearly to tho
extinction of a much appi-chentled
difficulty the Indian race. Let the
friendly savages kill off the unfriend
ly, then let us gut np, iu a sort of
Philanthropic way, a war between the
hlacks and tho Reds, and we may find
things so reduced as to be within
bounds. This would decidedly bo tho
most exteiifivo game of Jiouge it Joir
on record. Lxchange.

of the l.xrulion ol tho I. ewe The Ar
any Mil aiy l;iliird to Aaalst and
Sustain Ihs Judiciary,
Wasiiinhton, September 3.
Iho following proclamation was
issued this afternoon by tho President-
of the United States :
Whereas, Hy tho Constitution of
the United Slates, tho Executive pow
er is vested in a President of the Uni
ted States of America, who is bound
by a solemn oath, faithfully to execute
the orJico of I'roriidiint, and lo the best
of his ability, to preserve, protect nnd
defend the Constitution of tho United
Slutcs, ami is, by tho same instru
ment, inudo Commander-in-Chief of
the Army and Navy of the United
States, and is required to tuko caro
that tho laws be faithfully executed ;
und,
Whereas, By tho samo Constitution,
it is provided that the said Constitu
tion and the laws of the United States
which shall be made in- pursuance
thereof, shall bo the supreme law of
the land, and tho Judges in every
Stato rslnill be bound thereby ; and,
Whereas, In and by the same Con
stitution, the judicial power of the
United Slates is vested in one Su
preme Court, and in such inferior
courts us Congress may, from time to
timo, ordain and establish, and tho
aforesaid judicial power is declared to
extend to all cases in law and equity
arising under the Constitution, the
laws of the United States, and the
treaties which bhall be made under
their authority ; and,
Whereas, All officers, civil and mil
itary, are bound by oath that tbey
will support and defend the Constitu
tion against all enomies, foreign and
domestic, and will bear true faith and
allegiance to tho same ; and,
Whereas, All officers of the Army
and Navy of the United States, in
accepting their commissions under
the laws of Congress aud the rules
and articles of wur, incur an obliga
tion to observe, obey and follow such
directions t.s they shall, from lime to
time, receive from the President, or
General, or other superior officers set
over them, according to the rules and
discipline ot war: and,
IJ hereas, It is provided bylaw that
whenever by reason of unlawful ob
structions, combinations or assem
blagcs of persons, or rebellion against
tho government of the United States,
it shall becomo impracticable, in the
judgment cf tho President of tho
United States, to enforce, by tho
ordinary course of judicial proceed
ings, the laws of tho United States,
within any Stato or Territory, the
Executivo in that case is authorhftVi
and required to secure their faithful
execution by the employment of tho
land nnd naval lorecs ; and,
Whereas, Impediments and obslrnc-
tione, serious in their character, have
recently been interposed in tho States
of North Carolina and South Carolina,
hindering and preventing, for a timo,
a proper enforcement there ol the
laws of tho United States, nnd of the
judgment nnd decrees of a lawful
court thereof, in disregard of tho com
mand of tho President of tho United
States ; and,
Whereas, Reasonable and well-
founded apprehensions exist that such
ill advised proceedings may bo again
attempted thcro or elsewhere :
YW, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, do
hereby warn all persons against ob
structing or interfering, in any man
ner whatsoever, the faithful execution
of tho Constitution and tho laws, and
command all officer of tho govern
ment, civil and military, to render
duo submission nnd obedienco to tho
said laws and to the judgment and
decrees of tho courts of tho Unitod
States, and to give all tho aid in their
power necessary to tho prompt en
forccinent nnd exocution of such laws,
decrees, judgments and processes.
And I do hereby enjoin upon the
officers of tho army and navy to assist
and sustnin the courts and other civil
authorities of tho United States, in a
faithful administration of tho laws
thereof, and in tho judgments, decrees,
mnndates, and processes ot tho courts
of the United Stato.-t ; and I call upon
all good and well disposed citizens of
the United Slntes to romcmbcr that
upon tho said Constitution and laws,
and upon the judgments, decrees, and
processes of tho courts made in ac
cordance with the same, depend the
protection of tho lives, liberty, and
happiness of tho people ; and I exhort
them everywhere to testify their de
votion to their country, their pride in
its prosperity and greatness, aud their
determination to uphold its free insti
tutions, by a hearty co-operation in
tho efforts of tho government to sus
tain tho authority of the law, to main
tain the supremacy of tho Federal
Constitution, and to prcservo, unim
paired, tho integrity of the national
Union.
(Signed) Andrew Johnson.
