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

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."

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. Be it enacted , dec., That to
each and every soldier who enlisted
into the army of the United States af

and who has received, or is entitled to
receive, from the United States, under
existing laws, a bounty of SIOO. and
no more; and any such soldier enlisted
for not less than three years who lias
been honorably discharged on account

ed therefrom after serving two years
and who has received, or is entitled to
receive, from the United States under
existing iaws a bounty of 650 and no
more, and any soldier enlisted lor les*
than two years, who lias been honor
ably discharged on account of wounds

widow, minor children, or parents, in
the order named, of any such soldier
who died in the service of the United
States, or of disease or wounds con
traded while in the service of the Uni-j
ted States and in the line of duty, ;
shall be paid the additional bounty of:
850, hereby authorized ; provided that
any soldier who has forfeited, sold, as j
signed, transferred, loaned, or given

plication is made I>\" any soldier for j
said bounty he shall be required under i
the pains and penalties of perjury to !
make oath or affirmation of his identi- |
ty, and that he has not so bartered, i
sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged !
loaned or given away either his dis- j
charge papers or any interest in any \
bounty as aforesaid, and no claim for 1
such bounty shall be entertained by j
the Paymaster General or other ae-!
counting or disbursing officer, except !
upon receipt of the claimant's dis- |
charge papers accompanied by the I

tion provided
SEC. 3 And be it further enacted, That

each and every soldier who makes ap- '
plication therefor, and if found entitled j
thereto to pay said bounty.
SEC. 4. And be it. further enacted, That !
in the reception, examination, settle
ment and payment of claims for said !
additional bounty due the widows or ;
heirs of deceased soldiers, the account- I
ing officers of the Treasury shall be :

fitajr Sworn testimony states that after I
the New Orleans rebels had, ,as they sup
posed, killed I)r. 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."
