Yieldiug to 110 one in veneration for the great charter of our liberties, I should not favor changes in its text for light or triv ial causes, but the late rebellion against the Government lias made it our duty to incorporate into the organic law such provisions for the future safety and pros perity of the Republic as have been indi cated by the light of recent experiences. The issue is fairly before the people. Other issues, which in past struggles divided us, have passed away. .Slavery is dead. After a careerof'iningicd power and arrogance, it died amidst the throes of the cruel war which it originated, jind our Constitution has already been so amended as to prohibit it forever in the United States. The l.ast great struggle to gather the liberal and just fruition of the sacrifices of the late war, will lie decided by the ver dict of the people of the several States in the coming elections, and I cannot doubt the issue after the fidelity they iiave shown in the past, fkiuco the failure of the Suites to act in concert and at oimeoii the amendments, i do not regret that tiie question of reeonslruction goes to the highest tribunals known to our institu tions—the people. And when they shall have declared, niillion-tongucd. in favor of the amendments as 1 must believe they will, their ail monitions to the .States stiil struggling to make the war fruitless, will be too jotential to be disregarded, and the results will be accepted promptly by friends and foes in the late war. Should the loyal .States, or, indeed, any considerable number of them, unite iii calling extra sessions of their legislative bodies to ratify the amendments, I shall very heartily unite with them, regarding, as 1 do, the speedy adoption of the amend ments as the greatest blessing that can be bestowed upon our whole country. Very resieetfully, your obedient ser vannt, * A. G. CURTIS. Col. Fit. JORPAN, Chairman I nion Stale Central Commit tee, Philadelphia. Mr. Morrell, of Johnstown. The nomination of D. J. Morrell, Esq., by Cambria county, as a candidate for Congress, has already caused any number of attacks and inuendoes upon that gen tleman by tlie copperhead papers of this district, which evidently fear him. The Johnstown Democrat lately made the fol lowing bare facet I assertion, which was of course intended for effect outside of Johns town : The operations of the Cambria Iron Company are so connected with the mam moth stores of Wood, Morrell & Co., that a very large proportion of the wages are absorbed by these stores, anil compara tively but little money is paid out for wa ges. The percentage charged on goods furnished to pay for labor is said not to he small, as probably the "pass'' book in the hands of the poor laborer eat. tell. Flour is fourteen or fifteen dollars per barrel and fresh beef twenty-five cents per pound at their stores. Mr. Morreli replied to this billingsgate as follows: The above statements are wholly incor rect. Thecash disbursements of the Ca mbria Iron t 'ornpany for labor alone amount to over sloo,o-w per month, being from 50 to 75 per e*ut. of the entire earnings of its workmen. Wood, Morreli & Co. are general mer chants, selling goods to theeoinmunity at large, as well as to the employees of "the works. They have not two* prices for their goods. The day laborer who ob tains them in adrmire of his pay and the wealthy citizen who pays cash for Ids purchases receive the same attention and get their supplies at the same cost. No employee of the Company is compelled to purchase of Wood, Morreli & Co.; for the wages not taken in advance from their stores are paid in cash on the regular pay day of each month. It is the purpose and practice of Wood, Morreli & Co, to sell all their goods, of whatever kind, as low as the market will allow, always aiming to give the 1 est in quality, quantity and kind. They |>ssess advantages enabling them to do this, and the proof that they do so is easily accessible, for their stores are open, and whoever linds upon inves tigation that their goods are, on the ave rage, akmw the market prices, shall have their supplies for nothing. Beef is not and has not been sold by them at twenty-live cents per pound, nor flour at fifteen dollars per barrel. The provisions tlicy sell are always the best and freshest that can be obtained, and their beef cattle the heaviest and choicest that Western markets afford, and gener ally cost from one to three cents per pound more than those usually slaughter ed for the market. Present prices, \\ hich are the highest for a long time, are as fol lows : Beef—best steak and roast, 20 c. per lb. " " boil, 18 44 44 44 Choice sirloin steak, 22 4 44 44 The rougher parts from 8 to 12 c. per lb. Mutton—best that can be had, 14 to IBe. Flour—Family, sl2 per barrel. Extra, 12 50 per barrel. Best, 13 44 " St. Louis pastry ( but little sold), sl4. During three-fourths of the year, butter and provisions generally are considerably lower than Pittsburgh quotations. Anoth er matter to l*> noticed is, that the Com pany has not advanced the rentof its ten ant houses, for which it receives only about one-third of what is paid in Pitts burgh for similar or inferior accommoda tions. Tdo not think it necessary to dis cuss the merits of the Puddlers' strike.— The workmen and the public generaliv know that the Cambria Iron Co. have al ways paid the best wages the selling price of its product will allow, and this will continue to be its policy. It is also known that personally my sympathy has been for the lai>oring man, and that I have done what I could to improve his condi tion, lighten his burdens and strengthen him in his rights. J). J. MORRELI., Supt. Cambria Iron Co. fifcg" A writer in the Democrat a few weeks ago said the democrats of this coun ty were in favor of eight hours as a day's work. W hen we see democratic, employ ers practice what this chap preaches, we'll begin to believe it. For our part, we have no faith in such charlatanism, there be iug now more idleness, with a tendency to depravity, among young and adult, than is good for themselves or the public. If working hours are reduced, wages would also be reduced—a fact we think any fool ought to know. Rebel Representation. The copperhead and Johnson papc lay a great deal of stress upon the decU tion in one of Johnson's speeches whe he says : j "If a traitor presents himself to eitb House, cannot that House say to iiiu , 'No, you cannot be admitted' into tb body. Go back. Y\ e will not deny yot people the right of representation, b they must send us a loval represent : tive.'" We find no fault with this deelaratio in itself, though we much question wh< ther they ought to IK 1 admitted at all 111 ; til security is given for the future and I white basis of representation adopted but when wo come to what constitutes . j "traitor" in the eyes of the President, tli 1 Republican party hitlers from him in ; lie said in his "JiM February speech thai j a /v.Ac' who took the oath of nVcrfic,vic< - and promised to .support, the (ton rrum nt, became a I.OYAI. MAN, and ought to be so I regarded, consequently "traitors," in the ' President's view, must be few and far between. On the other hand, the repub licans contend that a loyal man means one who was loyal during the rebellion, and that it will be time enough to admit loyal traitors as lawmakers after under going some probation. SSaV* Postmaster General Denison has resigned, being unwilling lo prostitute his office to the base purposes now required from every officeholder. Dictation by a President to Con gross used to be considered as dangerous to liberty, but the one man power is lair to become as democratic as slavery was in its palmiest days. Justices ot the Peace who are charging Sr cents for affidavits arc liable to indictment, the legal charge being only 10 cents. Aeknowledenients Ac. are 'lb cents. feir The Dewistown Democrat is again copying articles from the New York Day Book. Will it lie kind enough to tell us whether it considers the Day Book an ex ponent of democratic principles ? Yes or no. Attorney General Speed has re signed for the same reason given by Mr. Denison, P. M. General, to wit, that tiie administration is pursuing a policy dan gerous to the peace and future welfare of the country. IPeX.. NN e hear it said some democrats in this county find so much objectionable in the Histories of the War. ail speaking of the rebellion as a crime, that they have determined to buy none but a Southern History! IfeiT'Thc Lewistown Democrat, after boxing the political compass during the past live years, last week arrived at the same point it started from before the war, namely, that the Republicans were the d'sunionists, and the rebel non-coercing democracy the Union men. 8?%,. Dan Rice has ottered himself as a democratic candidate for Congress in the Erie district. He ought to come into the 17th, where he could make many demo crats believe lie was a highly persecuted individual, having been indicted here some years ago for stealing a dog. Northern copperheads generally give vent to their rebel proclivities by wishing Stevens, .Sumner, and some oth ers who were Union all over during the war hung. Whenever we hear one of Jef Davis's northern shriekers talk in this strain, wo generally feel sorry that Jef had them not in his clutches during the rebellion. ISa?"" It is stated that, on the trip of the Mississippi steamer Golden Eagle the mate found a large fuse shell in the coal, which, had it Wen undiscovered and thrown into the lire, would have resulted disastrously. Some steamboatmcn are of the opinion that a great many of the late disasters have been caused by placing shells in the coal. Tile puddlers strike at Johnstown has ended hv most of the hands going to work at the Cambria Iron Works. This foolish strike, fomented no doubt by po litical wireworkers, has cost the puddlers 525,000 loss in labor. That they could have had little or no cause for dissatisfaction, may be gathered from the fact that their earnings had been from SIOO to 6125 per month. fife"#' Governor Orr of South Carolina lately made a statement to Gen. Sickles which induced Gen. Howard to discon tinue the principal rations issued to the whites and blacks of that State by the Freednien's Bureau; whereupon the rebel governor withdrew all he had said, and piteously beg- for a continuance of rat ions to both whites and biacks, whom he now represents in a starving condition. The Selinsgrove Times during the war and since, professed to have a rebel correspondent at Augusta, Georgia. In a letter dated June 18, this "correspondent" professes to give an account of the arrest of Wm. Bryant, editor of the Loyal Geor gian, for swindling negroes, which asser tion had been published in the northern papers. As no such arrest took place at Augusta, Georgia, it looks very much as if tiiis correspondence was made up by some northern rebel from the New York Day Book, Daily News, and other sheets which all loyal men shunned during the war. bill continuing the Freed men's Bureau was vetoed on Monday by the President, and on the same day was passed b} - both houses by more than tho constitutional majority. In his veto he admits that "since the "actual cessation of hostilities, many "acts of violence,such perhaps as had "never been witnessed in their previous "history, have occurred in the States "involved in tho recent rebellion," jet like Cowan, who was g°iug to put down the rebellion by sending a copy of the Constitution to Mississippi, etc., Johnson is in favor of rebels acting as judges, jurors, OHCi>.
