I he members of the above com mittee are requested to meet at the Court House in Lewistown on SATURDAY AFTERNOON, August 18, at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing and trans acting such business as may be brought: before them. Public Meeting. In the evening, a large and respectable meeting convened at the Town Hall— Wm. B. Hoffman, President; E. E. Locke and C. Beck, Esq., Vice Presidents—C. M. Skull, Secretary. D. W. Woods, Esq., was called uiion ; and made some pertinent remarks upon i the importance of electing Union men to ! positions of trust, and showed how easily ! all that has been contended for during the past five years could be lost by again pla cing in power those who had brought on ami participated in the rebellion. He was followed by John A. McKee, Esq. Ihe speech of the evening, however, was delivered by Brev. Brig. Gen. T. F. MCCOY, one of those Union War Demo crats who believes that treason is a crime ' and ought to be punished. We wish every soldier in Mifflin county could have heard his query why any soldier should vote for Clvmer in preference to Gen. Geary. Warming with his subject, he drew a contrast between the General's services during the rel>ellion and those of Clymer, clearly showing that while Gea ry was fighting the rebels Clymer was voting against the soldiers and speaking words better calculated to aid and encour age the rebels than the Union men. His reference to the leopard-skin convention which was to assemble at Philadelphia yesterday was felt to be true to the letter, and his sarcastic allusion that if Jef could not be present in propria persona, Mrs. Davis could furnish him with a proper disguise, called for storms of applause. — The position taken by Gen. McCoy will commend itself to thinking men of all classes, and will probably induce many honest democrats to pause before commit ting themselves to the ultra measures of their party leaders in advocating the res toration to power of the rebel States with out any guarantees for the future peace and harmony of our country, already so fearfully involved in debt and taxation through the acts of the very men propos ed to be again taken into the national councils with an increase of power. The proceedings of the County Convention in to-days's paper furnish thw Union Republicans with their tiag bear ers in the ensuing campaign. Differen ces of opinion of course existed pre vious to the nominations, but now that they are made it is the duty of all to give them a cordial support. For Congress the conferees of this county will probably bring forward the name of Col. JOHN P. TAYLOR, of Brown township, a good sol dier and exemplary citizen. Theirseeond choice is D. J. MORRELL, Esq., of Cam bria county. We have room only this week to say that the ticket comprises men of stability, soundness, good judgment, and capacity —and on the whole is probably as good : material as any party can get up. Polifical Preaching. We lately got hold of a cracked-up let ter of Jeremiah S. Black, a relict of Bu chanan's cabinet of traitors, on Political Preaching, addressed to Rev. Alfred Ne vin, D. D. We had supposed, from what we had heard of it, that it was something more than a mere attorney's opinion; but after reading it from Alpha to Omega, we feel free to say it would no doubt meet with a cordial endorsement if submitted to Moloch and his coadjutors. Nowhite eravated mawworm could more glibly in culcate the doctrine of peace and good will to all men than does Buchanan's Attor ney General; no copperhead, during the late war, could have more blandly advo cated non-coercion; and no traitorous sympathizer with Jef Davis could incul cate more tearfully the doctrine to let that lamb of rebellion die a natural death, instead of expiating his crimes on the gal lows. We have little room to devote to the sophistry of this " peace convert," but a few extracts will enable our readers to see the drift of his argument. Hear him on temperance: " If drunkenness be a sin which easily besets your congregation you may warn them against it, and inasmuch as absti nence is always easier than moderation, you should advise them to taste not, touch not, and handle not, but your posi tion gives you no authority to provoke violent hostilities against tavern keepers, liquor dealers or distillers." This is no doubt intended as a hit at the clergy who some years ago advised their members to elect men to the Legislature, irrespective of party, who would legislate on temperance principles. Next we have a fting at President Lincoln and all others who aided in putting down the rebellion. He says: "No man can serve two masters faith fully ; for he must hate one if he loves the other. A minister who admires and fol lows such men as those who have lately ruled and ruined this country must neces sarily despise the character of Christ. If lie glorifies thecruelty, rapacity and false hood of his party leaders, he is compelled by an inflexible law of human nature to ' deny the Lord who bought him.' " We had thought that not only every minister who loved his country, its free dom of religious toleration, and its gen eral institutions, as well as the Christian world, accorded to Abraham Lincoln a noble heart, patriotism, and a desire to do right, yet this libeller of all that were true to their country comes to the conclu sion that all ministers who supported our country and its late rulers necessarily de spised the character of Christ! We sup pose Black's beau-ideal of a Christian minister was the bloody-minded Bishop- General who met a deserved fate while preaching and practicing treason. Next we are told— " I he gospel is not vague, indefinite or non-committal upon the subjects of which it takes jurisdiction, and upon them you may preach as loudly as you please. But I admit that in times of great public ex citement—an important election or a civ il war—men listen impatiently to teach ings of faith and repentance. A sermon which tells them to do justice, love mer cy and walk humbly before God, is not an entertainment to which they willingly invite themselves. At such a time a cler gy man can vastly increase his personal consequence, and win golden opinions from his audience, by pampering their passions \\ itli a highly seasoned discourse on politics. The temptation to gratify them often becomes too strong for the vir tue of the preacher." CIVIL WAR, it appears from this ex tract, is also a political matter which a preacher must not touch—in short, Mr. Buchanan's Attorney General would in culcate the idea that preachers ought only to advise their hearers to bear with forti tude an invasion of rebels, see their store houses robbed, their buildings consigned to the flames, their sons murdered in cold blood, their daughters maltreated, their country and its institutions ruined, and the people ground down with tyranny or reduced to slavery, but not to tell them to resist, because to do so would make them political preachers! fc®~Five years ago the Charleston, S. C. fireeatere resolved they had a right to go out of the Union; two weeks ago the same party appointed delegates to John -9 convention, and resolved thev had a right to come back into the Union Geary Pic Sic at York. COPPERHEAD OUTRAGE. A very large meeting was held at York on Thursday last, the size of which may be inferred from the fact that ten bands of music were in attendance, and the Dauphin delegation alone filled thirty-two long cars. The meeting was first address ed by Gen. Geary, who told the story of : the rebellion as be- understood it after hav ing met its upholders, face to face, in bat tle. He reminded his hearers that the Union had cost too much loyal blood for the victors to allow it again to be disgrac ed, and he pledged himself, whether in vested with official power or not, never to be idle when his country was in dan ger —never to lie dormant while a foe menaced the life of the nation. Gen. Gea ry's speech, throughout, was in fine taste, dignified and satisfactory, making an im pression on the people of York county which will produce its practical effect at the polls. Gov. Curtin followed, in a speech of pe culiar power and eloquence. He declared himself as standing squarely on the plat form of the convention which nominated Geary, and spoke for fully an hour in vindication of the acknowledged princi ples of the Republican party. He pledg ed himself to carry Geary's banner into every part of Pennsylvania, and fight in the campaign now in progress, until the last fire of the enemy had been quenched j by the victory of the loyal men of the ! Commonwealth. I Judge Safford, of Alabama, next oeeu cupied the stand. He disclaimed any in tention of discussing the individual mer its of the candidates before the people of Pennsylvania for Governor thereof. He knew those gentlemen only bv their pub lic records. He knew that John W.Gea ry headed an army of brave men march ing in the face of death todefend the Un ion men of the South, to put down a Southern rebellion, to rescue his family and the families of hundreds of other Southern men from the reign of terror which then prevailed. He came North to acknowledge the service. Judge Saf ford's speech was a powerful one. He spoke as a Southern man, warning the people of the North that they must be ever vigilant, as until every traitor who had armed for the destruction of the Gov ernment had felt the heavy penalty of the laws he had violated, the danger could not be considered as entirely ended. The York Pennsylvanian, a neutral pa per, gives the following account of the in famous proceeding of Clymer's friends, headed by a special police oilicer : On returning home in the evening, be fore the train had started, a few stones were thrown, near King's tavern, and it was whispered that the passengers were to l>e assaulted at some point along the road. On this intimation tiie strangers picked stones from the gondolas, and par tially prepared themselves for what sub sequently ensued. Some minutes later the train pulled out, and when the last car had run beyond the carshop, a volley of stones were f i red from the riotous crowd of Yorkers and Walter Ruby, of this bor ough, who had been employed on the ex tra police, and who is about twenty years old. discharged at the rear car, from a re volver, six shots, one of which took effect in the shoulder of a stranger, whose name we have not learned. At the same time a great many stones were thrown at the train by persons who were concealed in an adjacent corn field. The cars, which had been under a good head, came to a halt, and many passengers dismounted to seek revenge ; but the crowd, including many women and children, was so dense that it was impossible for strangers to distinguish friends from foes. Rubvfled and although pursued, made his escape.' Daniel Platts, however, was less fortu nate, one of the excursionists having struck him with a stone above his eyes making an incision which hied profusely! Platts is about 20 years old. No other persons were injured seriously, but sever al of the ears were damaged materially.— The intense excitement did not subside for a considerable time. All the circum stances connected with this riotous dem onstration, prove that it was a precon certed assault. At an early hour this (Friday) morning Ruby was not arrest ed. Such things need no comment—Mem phis and New Orleans furnish the exam ples, and northern rowdies are not loth to follow. Democracy as if is. The New York News gives the follow ing advice to the rebels with whom it cordially sympathized throughout the war : "We say, therefore, that the first thing lor the South to do is to secure a foothold in Congress. They must get into the arena before they can expect to strike effec tively for their cause. Let them march in with flying colors, by virtue of their rights, if possible. If not, let them crawl in, climb in, push in, buy themselves in, or steal in, and get in what way they can] so that the next session of Congress' finds them there." '1 he New York Day Book, which the Democract quoted and rather endorsed, is again, as at the commencement of the war, at its insane and bloodthirsty teach ings. In an article headed "Abolition or Abolitionists must be Exterminated," and alleging timt it ought to have been under stood an abolitionist had forfeited his life and any one might kill him 011 sight, it proceeds: " We repeat, an Abolitionist has no nat ural right to live , or at all events to run at large in these States. No; Abolitionists have 110 right, 110 natural right to live an hour on this earth. The crime they strive to commit is not only the death of society but the death to the races, to both races, and to commit this crime they strike down self-government, and finally they are liars and villains, who refuse to prac tice their own avowed belief, and in the tout ensemble make up a crime, in com parison with which all others are abso lutely insignificant." "But we have an abiding faith that the Democracy of the land will save it from this terrible necessity of exterminating Abolitionists as well as Abolition. If the southern leaders had sought to extermi nate the Abolition delusion, instead of escaping from it by secession, they now might be in power at Washington, and if the Democrats will now go to work to ex plode this delusion, they may save them selves from the necessity of killing off the Abolitionists. Meanwhile, every man who proposes to acquiesce in their devil's work must be put in the same category with the Abolitionists, for nothing, no power on the earth or over the earth, can save the country from utter ruin, save to restore the Union as it was in 1860. This must be the rallying cry of the Democra cy, North and South, East and West.— The negro must be restored to his condi tion as well as (he citizens and the States to theirs . as Washington and his compa triots provided, and the simple but terr - ble question is the mode of doing this, either through reason and the ballot-box or through a thousand San Domingos." In the News the rebels are told to make ready to strike for "their cause," and in the Day Book we learn the cause to be the murder of all who believe slavery to be wrong —for all such are abolitionists — and the restoration of slavery as it ex isted in 1860. We had thought when the Southern taskmasters of Northern De mocracy had demanded of that party aid and comfort in treason, it had done enough to awaken democrats to a sense of duty, but it seems there is still a lower depth to which they must submit or again lose the favor of their southren brethern, namely, murder all the abolitionists and restore slavery! Jfraj"\Last week's Democrat has an arti cle, purporting to he a correspondence from Georgia and Alabama, conveying the idea that whites could get no relief from the Freedmen's Bureau. The best answer to this statement will be the fol lowing return of Alabama, which may be found in the official report lately made by Gens. Stcadman and Fullerton : RATIONS ISSUED IN ALABAMA. Frcedmcn. Adults. Children. Total. December, 1324 915 2249 January, 1175 1269 2426 February, 2217 1876 4093 March, 2733 2789 5518 White Refugees. Adults. Children. Total. December, 1140 2149 3289 January, 1983 3272 5255 February, 4680 8405 13083 March, 5651 11464 17115 This shows that in March, the last month which is reported, rations were issued in that State to 17,115 whites, and less than one-third that number of blacks. In Georgia, during the same month, ra tions were issued to only 1919 colored, mostly aged and infirm, and to 112 whites. Meanwhile a cry was got up against this benevolent measure, until on the Ist June, as appears by a letter from Gen. Howard, t here were only 5437 blacks and 5683 whites on its ration list in all the States. If therefore there is suffering, the Johnson C'lyiner hyenas ought not to complain, for they are the faultfinders and revilers of the Freedmen's Bureau, which relieved whites as well as blacks. A preacher named Robison, resi ding in Mercer, in this State, lately made some remarks on sundry papers not being tit for the social circle, whereupon the Mercer Press, the democratic organ of that county, flies into a passion, and in imitation of Jere Black, belches forth the following democratic denunciation : "Who is this monopolizer of all God's mercy ? Who is this bigoted, puritanical zealot, this pulpit demagogue, this meek and humble follower of a greenback god, this uprising, bloated, power-grasping, starving priest of a bastard congregation of Presbyterians—this conscience keeper of the Dick Irwins, the Ralph Maxwels and Dick Zahillisers of this community —this holy confessor of the God and mor ality Uriah Heaps, male and female, who would yoke us down to the standard of morality to serve his party's ends ? He He says he has supporters in both parties in his congregation. 11* this is so, we don't know it, and would say that Demo crats are known hv the company they keep. No full communion Democrats, ever worshipped in a free negro church after they found it out, unless they were born and raised in it."

Robert \\ ilson, P. M. at Mechan icsburg, Cumberland county, attended a Johnson meeting at Carlisle 011 Friday a week, and on Saturday was removed from office. A cat fish, caught in the Allegheny, weighing eighteen pounds and measur ing nearly three feet in length, was brought to Kittanning 011 Tuesday last. It was caught 011 an out-line. A man named Moser was shot, on the night of the 30th ult., at the distillery of Martin Billmeyer, in Liberty township, Montour county, while in the act of steal ing whiskey. The leading truths of the New Or leans riot, are—The convention was call ed by the Governor by request of the pro tern, presiding officer; the Mayor of New Orleans first tried to prevent its meeting, and then organized and armed a special police of rebels, who instigated a riot, and then killed and wounded from 200 to 400 whites and blacks—among the former several prominent Union men during the rebellion. " Beast Butler" quieted New Orleans by hanging one rebel and sending a rebel she-devil in limbo ; one of John son's pardoned rebel mayors kills and wounds hundreds of Union men under pretext of arresting a few men holding a public meeting which could harm no one. The Bounty Bill. The following is the bill to equalize the bounties of soldiers and sailors who served in the late war against the .Slaveholder's Rebellion, us it finally passed both Houses of Congress: SEC. 1.

Dostie, they gave three j cheers for President Johnson and Jelfer- ! son Davis. The exclamation, " J)—n you, I we fought you four years, and will fight' , you again," was of frequent occurrence. SSL, The New York World, the nation- 1 al organ of the Democratic party denoun- ! ces the payment of the bounty to the sol- ' diers of 'Hi and '62 as a " gigantic job and swindle," and says that in urging the measure the " Radicals in the House as sailed every taxpayer's nostrils with the ! stench of a vote squandering §350,000,000* I on sharpers and swindlers." Just so its party talked during the war. It was a i common pastime with Democratic ora- I tors to count up the expense of a regiment I of men in the field and then appeal to the ! stinginess of their hearers in order to ' arouse prejudice against the soldiers and the war. The followin paragraph is copied from the Louisville Journal, a full-blooded Johnson paper: "To judge by the events thatare taking place here in Kentucky, one might be in doubt whether he is really living in the Union or in the late Confederacy. Men boast every day on the streets that thev ' are 'good rebels.' The speakers at meet ings eulogize the Confederacy, eulogize its Generals, its soldiers, its principles? its policy and its objects. They denounce tbe Government, denounce the Union denounce the eifort-s to p r eserve it de' nounce Union Generals, Union soldiers the principles of the Union, the policy of the I nion, and the objects of the Union." If this is the situation of Kentucky, ' which did not secede, what must be pub lic sentiment in the rebel States. ! ear Unfolding itself—The plot to def the Republican nominations for the r I gislature, &o.
