Thnrsday Morning, Dec. 5, 1867.
Banquet to .Wr. It 'a liar.
The lion. Wm. A. Walluce was the
recipient of a magnificent Bunqiiot at
the hands of tho Democracy of Phila
delphia, at the Continental Hotel in
that city, on the 27th ult.
This testimonial, us tbo committee
state, is in tokon of thoir high appre
ciation of his services as Chairman of
the Democratic State Ceutrul Com
mittee, and for the excellent manner
in which he managed tho lute canvnss.
Mr. Waller may indeed bo proud
bile being banqueted and cntertainod
by such eminent Democrats and
worthy gentlemen us Col. Tago, Col.
Tatterson, lion. II. M. Thillips, Kx
MayorVuux, JohnO. James, Esq , and
several hundred of their aesociutcs.
Not having received a copy of Mr.
'Wallace's speech until Friday even
ing, it was impossible for us to publish
it this week, but will do so in our
nert This is beyond question tho
ablest effort of his life, and shows that
he is qualified for any public station in
the gift of the people- The Democra
cy of Clearfiold are justified and feol
proud in seeing their neighbor und
follow-sitizeu, thus honored by tho
leading Democrats of the gay Metrop
olis. The Currency ifr'Hon.
The proceedings of tho Rump go to
show that tho currency question,
although founded on a loyal basis,
controlled by its special advocatos,
and in existence for more than five
years, is nevertheless us unsettled as
the restless ocean. Stevens, Butler,
and others of that class, howl fur
repudiation, and are determined to
asasinate their own offspring, un
natural as it may seem. These men
exhibit as litllo practical sense upon
this vital question as school boys, and
j et they art sent to Congress by "the
wealth and intelligence" of tho coun
try, to discharge the duties of states
men. The financial policy of these
loyul imbeciles is ns outrageous and
distressing as their attempt to govern
tho country. Tho leaders of the
Black Republican party, with u!l their
fuilures, have still accomplished some
thing. They havo abolished slavery
in its mildest form, which held four
millions of negroes in reasonable sub
jection, but re adopted it in its mott
Lidceus lorin over twelve millions,
and charged the people three thou
sand millions of dollars, slaughtered
half a million of freemen, made an
equal number of widows and orphans,
maimed for life two hundred thousand
of thoir neighbors, and destrt-cd tho
cniou and harmony of these Slates.
These freebooters are pcriect in their
work of destruction, but mere shysters
so far as practical good is concerned.
Mighty in tearing down, but pigmies
in building up.
A glance at the Rump proceedings
will show the unsettled state of the
minds of the members w ith reference
to our national finances.
The Imprathmrnt.
We lay before our readers '.his week
the minority reports of the Impeach
ment committee, signed by the Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee,
James F. Wilson, of Iowa, and F. E.
Woodbridgo, of Vermont; both Rad
icals, and S. 8. Marshall, of Illinois,
and Oiarlos A. Eldridgo, of Wiscon
sin, Democrat. We ask an attentive
perusal of this document, which will be
found on our first pago.
The majority Report is a mcro re
hearsal of Jacobin chip-trap, repudia
tion, and falsehood, and signed by
ieo. S. Boutwell ,of Mass; Frank
Thomas, of Maryland; Tom Williams,
if Tittdburg ; Bill Lawrence of Ohio;
and Jack Churchhill, of Now York,
all Radicals ; being five oi the nine
members composing the committee
The thing Churchhill, labored and
acted with Messrs Wilson and Mar
shall, until two days before the com
mittee were ready to hand in their
report, when he deserted these gentle
men and went over to BoutwclPs
party, and by his voto mado the mi
nority the majority, is reported
that his sudden conversion was brought
.about by covering Bout well's report
with "greenbacks," so that when ho
aigned it he could not rend it.
It will be noticed that Stanton and

national assacsins and thoir crony.

Rads, it is true, elected their Plate

6,679, while the Radicals lose almobt

The ItojhtoWH Democrat, edited by
Gen. Davis, has run up the name nl
lion. Joel Parker, t'f New Jersey, as
its choice for Pru.ldcnl in ISO. There
is no doubt of Gov. Parker's filnexs
for tho position, and ho would boa
strong rnmlidate. Tho General as
most of our readors ore aware, was an
enthusiastic "war Democrat," having
entered tho army at the beginning of
tho hito "war for the Union," and
fought bravely through it, earning ful
ly tho titlo of a brave soldier, lie
naturally hus a wurm feeling for those
who then aided him, and of courso finds
such on one in' the person of Ex
Gov. Tarker. But as thoso two gen
tlemen, with others, waged a vigorous
tear for the Union for four yoars, with
two years grace added thereto, we
now have the right to ask them what
they have dono with the Union, before
they ak for another job. After ob
taining all the mon and money they
demanded to save it whero is it ?
Whoncver statesmen or politicians
commit great blunders, they invaria
bly attract ourattoution if afterwards
they attempt prematurely to load off
iu another great enterprise Don't be
in a hurry, General ! Grossly mistukon
onco, you might be nguin. To err is
human, to forgive divine. We havo
invested lurgoly in the lattor tho past
six years, but seem to bo as human
as ever on some other points. Tbo
following is the General's own way
of putting forth the claims of Governor
Parker :
"Our readers will notice that we
have raised at the head of ourcolumns,
as Democratic candidate for President
in 1 808, subject to the decision of the
National Convention, the name of the
Honorable Joel Paukck, of New Jer
sey, late Democratic Governor of tbut
S'.ate. We have not done this without
proper reflection. Tho selection of a
candidate for President, in whose fav
or can be united all the conservative
elements of the country, in opposition
to the combined forces of Radicalism,
is a matter of tho very first importance.
A few men, only, possess these requis
ites, lie who can lay claim to them
must combine within himself the qual
ities of stalemanship, conservatism of
the lcmocra!ic school, bo an advo
cate ot State Rights, as guarantee by
the Constitution, and bn ve an undoubt
ed war record. In looking over tho
whole field, and canvassing tho merits
of the various gentlemen named for
President on the Democratic and Con
servative ticket, we do not find any
one who possesses so many strong
points as Ex -Governor Parker.
Governor Parker, like most of the
distinguished men ol our country,
passed his early years in hard labor,
but now ranks as one of tho first law
vers in the country. In 1X02 ho was
elected Governor of New Jersey, and
for threo years filled the Executive
chair of our sister State with the most
distinguished ability. During his ad
ministration our late civil war was
racing in all its biterncss. While he
did not approve the general war policy
of the Federal Govcrnmciif,no cxculivc
was moro active in raising troops to
Sucll rebellion. By his cflorts New
ersey . wag exempted from all tho
drafts but the last. During this try
ing period ho was tho only Governor
of a loyal State that resisted federal
encroachments on State rights While
every other State was made the sport
of tho administration at Washington,
and the Constitutional rights of
their citizens trampled upon duily, this
upright Governor watched over and
guarded the rights of New Jersey with
the most jealous caro. Ho alono had
the nerve to resist Stanton's demand
for offenders to be surrendered by the
civil to tho military authority. While
ho was Governor no citiren of his Slate
was arrested without warrant and im
prisoned in bastile, or elsewhere. The
tinkle of Seward's "lit'.le bell" was not
heeded in New Jersey ,nor did Stanton's
secret polieo find victims there. His
management of tho finances of the
Slate is security that the peoplo would
have in him an economical President,
one who would look after the interest
of the tax payers, and stop the finan
cial leaks that have drained the coun
try the past six years. When he en
tered on his duties as Governor tho
bonds of the State were almost down
to par, but before he went out of office
they had risod to 15 per cent premium,
such had been his wiso, prudent, and
patriotic caurse.
Pennsylvania owes a debt of grati
tude to Governor Parker. In 10:1,
when Leo's army invaded this State
and Ilarrisburg was threatened with
capture, and when our own executive
was paralyzed with faar, Governor
Parker camo to our rescue. Ho was
requested to send trocps to assist in
the defense of our State Capital, and
within two hours after it was known
that assistence was needed, he put two
regiments in march, and that before
any of tho militia were embodied. The
citizens of Philadelphia will recall Lha
joy they felt when they saw the Jer
sey troops monh up Ulicsnut street to
take tho cars for llarrishurg. Govern
or Parker's praise was on every lip,
and well it deserved to bo, for he knew
how to discharge all his duties to the
Federal Government, protect his own
State and her citizens, and at the same
time assist to defend a sister Slalo
from an inTading foe. It will be re
membered, also, that under the patri
otic control of Governor Parker, Now
Jersey was held to her Democratic al
legiance in sf,4,when every other
Northern Slate yielded to the storm
ol fanaticism and tvrany that swept
over the country. She deservos to be
represented in the White House, and
Governor Parker is the favored son she
offers for this position.
These are some of the reasons which
j induce us to raise tho name of Jof.l
Parker as the standard bearer of the
i Democratic party in its next contest
for constitHtsonal liberty.

Baker and Conovci. Wo hereto ap
pend a portion of tho testimony of
these creatures, taken boforo tho im
peachment committee, that lully es
tablishes their depravity. Conovcr
is now serving out u lime in the. Peni
tentiary for perjury before this com
mittee. Baker has been arrested for
tho samo crime, and Ashley, Holland
Stanton ought to be :
Ex-Detective Baker testifies on
November that he never had any
interviews with San lord Conover, and
details at length his futile efforts to
summon Mrs. Harris to appear before
tho Committee This woman linker
represented in previous evidence had
tho letters purporting to be written
by Andrew Johnson to Jeff. Davis in
1M4, showing sympathy with thn re
bellion. Ho further testified that Con
grossman Ashley, of Ohio, promised
him money to net theso letters, and
that ho (Hukerj received one thous
and dollars from the Postmaster at
Lansing, Mich., for that purpose, hut
that Mrs. Harris refused to deliver
the lettors for less than twenty-five
thousand dollars cash down. Baker
adds that Ashloy promised him mono'
several times, but that ho never got
any from him.
On November 23d Congressman
Ashley was examined as the Inst wit
ness in the impeachment investigation.
He testifiod that he had presented to
the committee all the evidence he could
command to sustain the charges made
against the President; that he had
written a letter dated July 22d, 1h57,
snggesting a pardon for Dunham fiVii
Conover, then and now in prison for
perjury before this committee j thit
Messrs. Bradford, of New York, and
Rogors, of New Jersey, Democratic
Congressmen, also favored Conover's
pardon ; that ho (Ashley) had four or
nvo interviews with Conover while
tho latter was in jail ; that Conover
promised to give information which
would lead to obtaining two or three
letters purporting to have been writ
ten by Andrew Johnson to Jefferson
Davis; that he corresponded with
Conover on this subject; that the lat
ter stated that ho knew of a letter
written by the President which would
implicate Mr. Johnson in the assassi
nation of Mr. Lincoln, but hef Ashley)
looked upon the statement as too vaguo,
and that it was never worked up.
(Question Have vou ever stated to
members of Congress that yon had
evidence implicating the President in
Mr. Lincoln's assassinotion f Answer
No, not evidence in my possession.
I mny have staled that I had state
ments mado in writing and otherwise
by this man, and that which induced
me to believe it. 1 may have said that.
Have you ever brought the evi
donco on which you believe it before
tho committee? Answer No, sir, I
hare njroken to members of lha com.
mitteo about it. I have had no evi
dence which I regarded as vulid. It
was an insulated statement, here and
there, and not sufficiently strong
to warrant mo in presenting it.
Q Then you say you had no evi
dence against Mr. Johnson which yon
considered valid f Answer Yea: I
had no evidence which I regard as
sufficient before a jury to convict a
criminal.
Mr. Eldridgo I repeat tho question
whether you have not told members
of the House of Representatives that
you had evidenco in your possession
which satisfied you that Mr. Johnson
had taken part or was implicated in
the assassination ot Mr. Lincoln T
Answer 1 have said that I believed
from all I was ablo to gather from
this investigation that Mr. Johnson
had a guilty knowledge, of the assas
sination. i You have said that before. I
repeal the question as 1 put it before,
and I want an answer to it specifical
ly. Ashley Have I rot answered it?
Mr. Eldridgo No, sir, 1 think not.
I rcpeatthcqiiestion. Ashley I had
not that kind of evidence which would
autisly tho great mass of men, espcial
ly thoso who do not concur with my
theory about it. I have always be
lieved that President Harrison, Tay
lor and Buchanan were poisoned, and
for the express purpose of pulling
Vice Presidents in tho Presidential
office In the first two instances it
wus successful. Itwasatteinptedwith
Mr. Buchanan and failed. It succeed
ed with Taylor and Harrison. Then
Mr. Lincoln was assassinated, and
from my standpoint, I could come to
a conclusion, which impartial men
holdingdifferentviewscoiild not como.
It .would not amount to legal evidence.
Mr. Ashley then proceeded to test
ify that ho never submitted any evi
denco nor had ho mado any charge
that Mr. Johnson Was implicated in
the assassination plot. Ifo adds in
concluding his evidence that ho paid
Sandford Connver'a wifo some money
for professional services in obtaining
witnesses.

Nevertheless, if there arc any per
sons among us who demur to the ap
pellation, we shall bo much obliged to
ihem, if they will tell tig what sort of
a Congress this is, if not a "Kump."
It certainly is not a Congress of tho
United Stales, within the meaning of
tho Constitution, because on referring
to thnt instrument, we find, at the
very Mart, (Article 1st, Section 2d) :
"Th H.mim ot llr,n-rntutlve rhai.L IK eitn

not may be.
Now applying tho tost, how does
tho "Rump'"' stand ? Is it composed
of members chosen by tho People of
tho several Ktutes ? It so, how comes
it that there is not a single Represen
tative from A'irgiuia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Al

and Arkansas ?
Tho Constitution says Representa
tives shall bo chosen Iry the "the
People of the several States" that is,
not exclusively by tho People of New
England not exclusively by the liad
icul party but by the several, that
is, all the Slates.
Applying that test to the 'Rump'
how is this Congress a Constitution
al Congress f How can it be anything
but a Rump ?
Again, we read, iu tho section,
"tUpreMtntatiref ami diract taiM tBALL aa

In tho above-mentioned ton Slates
of tho Union, taxes aro apportioned
by authority of the Rump, but no

tricities of (ieorgo Francis Train are
numerous. His lute effort to becomo
tho father of a President was a dead
failure A Western cotcmpornry tells
tho following :
"George sent bis wife on a ninety
days' voyage from Australia to Amer
ica, that an expected child might, by
being born in this country, becomo a
,,(Wsil,0 future President of the Ulti
' led SUiIa'S. Mrs. Train waa nearly
, shipwrecked on the pnnsase, but she
I rc "ea Uienea in saletv . Jhoclnid
for whom .11 ll,i. trouble w Ukon,
WIH'tl born, tlimoil out to be girl."
This ia tlic aopond time Goorgo ha
been fooled. Uo ncnt bis Tt iftf t0 cw
York from France on a similar trran J,
i nnd a girl wrn tbe remit, ton.

who i ouiinit ted an outrage on
the person of Mrs. Baker was
caught about ton o'olock at night,
and brought hack to tliU phieo alwul
midnight. He made a full coufeioa
of the crime as already staled, smv ing
his name was Albert KkiiikIcm, and
that ho lived in Warsaw. He wai
then seized by an excited mob, and
blabbed, shot and beaten till bo was
ileud. A rope was then put around
his neck mid his body drugged through
tho streets, and finally led lying in
the street till about three o'clock in the
morning, when it was taker, up and
ut in an old shanty, where it now
ios awaiting a coroners inqnest.
The Radicul party managers of tho
Sonato and House aro canvassing
among their friends on tho question
of admitting the Africanized States of
tho South, as soon as they shall pre
sent thorough blarli Republican Con
stitutions. They bono to pet in at
least one-half of them ere the cIom of
the next regular session. South Car
olina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida,
are already singled out for admission,
when the abovo condition precedent
shall havo been complied with.
Stanton, late Secretary of war. is
running about tho country like a "lost
injin; JNoono nays him doccnt re
spect. Several Radical papers tried
to make a fuss over bis dismissal from
tbo war ofiico, but they could not raise
a single tear, and gave it up. The
blood of M rs. Suratt is being avenged.
A bold attempt was made on Wed
nesday night, the 27th ult., to fire tbe
Brookville jail, in which the notorious
Dcau Graves Chase confederate-
is now confined for the murder of Mrs.
McDonald.
