AUGUSTUS TROXEL, one of our candi
dates for Associate Judge, is an industrous
hatter, who has resided here for a number
of years, and lias always sustained an un
blemished reputation. He is a man well
informed on general subjects, reads a good
deal, and makes it a point to understand
what he does read. He was a warm and
enthusiastic Union man, and lost an only
son in the S' rviee. LEVI GI.ASS, of L T nion
township, was a Commissioner of this
county a number of years ago, but has
for a long time steadily opposed the en
croachments of the slave power. He is
much respected in the valley, is in every
way competent for the position, and we
feel assured will receive a warm support
from many old friends.
CHAUNCEY M. 8 HULL, like Andrew
Johnson, is only a tailor, but we are satis
fied will make a far better sheriff than
Johnson does a President. Mr. Shull
was one of the original Logan Guards,
and subsequently again enlisted in the
205 th, in which lie served with credit un
til discharged at the close of the war.—
Since then lie has been following his vo
cation with industry and sobriety, and
deserves an election to the office.
For Commissioner, the convention se
lected SAMUEL H. MCCOY of Granville
township, a gentleman whose fitness for
the office, coupled with integrity, none
who know him will question. The tax
payers will find him to be precisely the
man they want and need in that office.
M. P. WAKEFIELD, of Oliver, our can
didate for Auditor, is a young man of
ability, a good accountant, has also served
his country as a soldier, and will fill the
office for which he is named (a matter too
often neglected) with a view to the tax
payers interests.
For representative, the convention
named JAMES M. BROWN, Esq., subject
to the conferee meeting to be held to-day.
Bome opposition seemed to be manifested
at the delegate elections, yet so far as we
can leain, nothing plausible has beeu al
leged against him which ought to inftu- i
enee any man's vote. He may not have
done everything to the satisfaction of
everybody , but what representative ever
did. If nominated, as we trust he will
be, we have every confidence he will re
ceive an increased vote in this county.

have never met defeat."—./. fi r . Geary.
Geary is like a boy we know, who boasts
that he has never been whipped in a fight

The Democrat ought to write a history
of the war, makeC'lymer the General, and
Wm. Ross and John W. Kearns the Col
onels who put down the rebellion.
Monster Geary Meetings continue
to be held in the lower counties which
show how popular feeling runs. To-day
a great gathering at Reading takes place.
ftaT An immense gathering of Geary
men was held Meehanicsburg, Cum
berland county, last week, at which
among other things two oxen and 10,000
ears of corn were roasted.

PROSPECT.
Probable War with France.
Those who had fondly hoped that with
the close of the rebellion we should enjoy
a season of peace, are, from appearances,
doomed to disappointment, as the one
won at Washington who is continually
prating alx>ut the usurpations of the peo
ple's representatives in Congress, is eo\ -
ertly exercising powers and privileges
which a Dictator or Desj>ot only could
openly. Thus, while contending that the
Southern States are in full relation to the
government, on occasion of the riots in
New Orleans, he interfered with the Gov
ernor's prerogatives, set his authority
aside, and directed the military to re
ceive orders from the Attorney General
of Louisiana. If Louisiana is a State,
Governor Wells is as much Governor as
Andrew Curt in is of Pennsylvania, and
we think no one will undertake to say
that the Mayor of Philadelphia or the
Attorney General of this Stase could call
on Andrew Johnson to quell a riot except
through the Governor. Law, however,
or form of law, is of small account at the
White House, where rebels are more wel
come than Union men.
In furtherance of the design to with
draw public attention from the usurpa
tions of the President, and possibly by
the advide of rebel leaders, a proclama
tion has been issued giving notice that
the blockade declared by Maximillian to
exist at Matamoras, Mexico, will be dis
regarded. At sight, this would appear a
small matter, but when all the facts con
nected with Mexico are taken into con
sideration, that proclamation is in reality
a VIRTUAL DECLARATION OF
WAR AGAINST FRANCE! Napole
on may or may not be ready to engage in
a war with this country, but the recent
relinquishment of his designs on the
Rhine frontier indicate that he may have
had such a contingency in view, and if
he had, we may look for a long and bloody
struggle, for an increased debt, for in
creased taxes, and in the end for an alli
ance between the rebel leaders and France,
when the "Southern heart" will again be
fired—probably by some of the men in
attendance last week at Philadelphia as
peacemakers— and another rebellion. —
Napoleon never forgives an insult nor an
injury, and even if war does not ensue,
he is henceforth an enemy ofthiscountry
who will bide his time.
The Dummy Convention.
The gathering which had been h, raid
ed forth for some months, assembled at
Philadelphia last Wednesday, 14th Au
gust, the anniversary of Jef Davis's proc
lamation exiling Union men from the
rebel States and confiscating their prop
erty. The assemblage was said to be re
presentatives of the people, yet strange to
say, not a single delegate was elected by
the people; on the contrary, State and
county committes, appointed without re
ference to such a body, or a knot of office-
hunters, hastened to announce that cer
tain men, representing neither the people
nor their interests, were delegates. Well,
this l>ody met, and instead of meeting the
great questions of the day with freedom
and discussion, 110 set of slaves could have
been more subservient, or more readilv
ratified all that had been prepared. There
was 110 opposition to anything, for the
simple reason that no discussion, no in
terchange of views, was allowed. It was
to all intents a Dummy Convention, with
.Doolittle as presiding officer, Cowan as
ventriloquist, and Keverily Johnson as
bottle-holder. The rebels who came there
with halters 011 their necks, acting up to
the advice to creep in, steal in, or get any
way into Congress, of course voted for
everything proposed by the cooks; the
copperheads, looking for political aid from
the southern rebel democracy, did the
same; and the bread-and-butter brigade,
with the emoluments of office in sight,
could not resist. Thus all was as harmo
nious as that company which was told
any one might leave the service who
chose, but that the first man who did
would be shot!
Raymond of the York Times pre
pared and read the address, which is a
mere rehash of Johnson's assumptions
thai rebels are loyal men as soon as they
are tired of rebelling, and anathematizing
the doings of Congress, because Congress
will not prove AS false to its professions JIS
the one man in the White House. The
only thing of importance in it is the ad
vice to vote for members of Congress,
without reference to their antecedents,
whether rebel, copjierhead, bummer, de
serter, or skedaddler, who arc willing to
admit the rebels to Congress.
One of the principal subjects secretly
discussed, was the mlc of the Oeniovracy!
And this, in part at least, was accom
plished. Although the delegates would
not agree at once to relinquish their old
title, yet it will he significantly observed
m the pnncipa l committee is dubbed
the National Union Committee which
of course supercedes in authority the
democratic and all others, and will liefore
long swallow them up. This is already
evident here.

The Falsehood and Deception Practiced by
the Johnsonites and Copperheads.
There is not a copperhead paper, a cop
perhead stump speaker, a Johnson paper,
or a Johnson advocate, led on hv such po
litical weathercocks as Montgomery Blair,
Cowan, Doolittle, &c., who has not studi
ously endeavored to fill the public mind
with the belief that Congress is keeping
the rebel States from being represented,
when in truth nothing could he easier for
those States to restore their full relation
to the government merely by passing the
constitutional amendments submitted by
Congress. Those amendments are so just,
and withal magnanimous, that there is
truly room for wonder in finding any man
who wishes well to his country opposing
them. It disfranchises only the prime
movers and leaders of the rebellion, so far
as offices are concerned, and would make
this, what copperheads prate so much
about, a WHITE MAN'S GOVERNMENT by
basing representation on white men, pre
cisely as stated by Andrew Johnson in
his conversation with Geo. I/. Stearns.—
AV e republish them, and ask our readers
to hand them to their neighbors, for we
feel assured, when properly understood,
none but political bigots in pursuit of of
fice, or men who think more of party than
of their country, can find fault with them.
Here is the
i moil I'latform of Reconstruc
tion.
Tennessee was Admitted on this Platform.
Joint Resolution proposing an Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States.
Resolved, By tiie Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, two
thirds of both Houses concurring, that
the following article be proposed to the
Legislatures of the several States as an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, which, when ratified by
three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall
be valid as part of the Constitution,
namely:
ARTICLE XIV
SECTION 1. All persons born or natu
ralized in the UniteiUrates, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and of the State where
in they reside. No State shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any State de
prive any person of life, liberty, or prop
erty, without due process of law, nor de
ny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws.
SEC. 2. Representatives shall he appor
tioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of ]>ersons in each
State, excluding Indians not taxed. But
when the right to vote at any election for
the choice of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States, Rep
resentatives in Congress, the executive
and judicial officers of a State, or the
members of the Legislature thereof, is
denied to any of the male inhabitants of
such State, being twenty-one years of age,
and citizens of the United States, or in
any way abridged, except for participa
tion in rebellion or other crime, the basis
of representation therein shall he reduced
in the proportion which the number of
such male citizens shall bear to the whole
number of male citizens twenty-one years
of age in such State.
SEC. 3 No person shall he a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of
President and Vice President, or hold
any office, civil or military, under the
United States, or under any State, who
having previously taken an oath as a
member of Congress, or as an officer of
the United States, or as a member of any
State Legislature, or as an executive or
judicial officer of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or re
hellion against the same, or given aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof. But
Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of
each House, remove such disability.
SEC. 4. The validity of the public debt
of the United States, authorized by law,
including debts incurred for payment of
pensions and bounties for services in sup
pressing insurrection or rebellion, shall
not be questioned. But neither the Uni
ted States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid
of insurrection or rebellion against the
United States, or any claim for the loss
or emancipation of any slave; but all such
debts, obligations and claims shall be
held illegal and void.
SEC. O. That Congress shall have pow
er to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
the provisions of this article.
In brief, the Ist makes all persons equal
before the law, as is the case in all the
eastern, middle and western States —that
is, crime is punished alike whether com
mitted by white or black, which is not
the case in the South. The second makes
voters the basis of representation; if this
is not adopted, the late slave States will
gain 24 members of Congress in 1872, as
each late slave will then count the same
as a white man north, and thus make 60
white men south equal to 100 white men
north. The third disfranchises the perju
rers; and the fourth secures the National
public debt as inviolate, JIS well as pen
sions and bounties, and will forever pre
vent any assumption of the rebel debt.—
There is no negro suffrage in them, as po
litical knaves make out, as any one can
see by the second section that the States
regulate who shall vote.
That the rebel leaders should get up a
cry against the amendments is natural, as
all power to organize another rebellion or
to hold a majority of the offices would be
effectually destroyed. This they well
know, and it is therefore nothing won
derful in advising Andrew Johnson to
usurp the powers of government, and rec
ognize them as good citizens and law-ma
kers; nothing wonderful that they should
call those most instrumental in defeatitig
their rebellion " disunionists," and them
selves Union men; nothing wonderful
that they should pander and cringe to
northern copperheads so far that Massa
chusetts and South Carolina delegates
should enter arm in arm into the mon
grel convention held at Philadelphia last
week —because the defeat of the amend
ments will give them honors, power and
place, while their adoption would do
something towards making treason odi
ous. But the old leaven is still at work.
The following extract from the August
number of De Bow's Review, the leading
Southern literary magazine, will serve to
show that the erroneous ideas which
brought on the war are not yet eradica
ted, and that the Southern people pre
dict a "good time coming" yet:
" State sovereignty, though suspended,
remains intact ; for the Soothers States
are still, originally and anatomically, sov
ereign. They have each a soil and a peo
ple, a militia, cm executive, a legislature,
a Judiciary, and separatt and distinct
/airs, customs, habits and institutions.—
So soon as the Inderal troops arc remov
ed, and the Southern States fully restored
to I nion, they will become again
watchful and efficient- guardians and de
fenders of the liberty of the South. In
the meantime we must keep cool, evince
the same fortitude under a temporary op
pression that we exhibited throughout
the war. never become ' terribly in ear
nest,' like to radicals, and, by losing our
tempers, cloud and upset our judgment."
And if there are people who imagine
that they will never be taxed for the rebel
debt, they can dispel that illusion, for
Governor Orr of South Carolina, a fire
eating rebel, in a speech to a Olymer
Club at Philadelphia on Monday a week,
said he was not only willing to aid in
paying the debt of "your Government,
but also of my (the rebel) government!
Our inference that the Augusta
correspondent of the Selinsgrove Times,
who professes to write rebel communica
tions for that paper, was some northern
traitor, has awakened theireoftheeditor,
ami lie calls us all kinds of names in re
turn. He also complains that we have
been assaulting him fortlie past five years.
Not at all, Mr. Times; we have only been
showing you tip as a consistent disciple
of modern democracy, and cited you as
proof that Southern democracy and North
ern Toryism were one and the same thing
—the only difference being the southrons
took up arms to uphold their treason,
while you didn't, but hissed them on. To
show our readers how a northern copper
head classifies the Gazette, we copy the
following from the Times of the 10th :
"The Lewistown Gazette, a 'moral-idea'
organ that is always filled with articles on
temperance, religion, 'moral instructions,'
sabbath school items, pious songs, ac
counts of lying missionaries, etc., etc.,
with holy sprinklings of pious ejacula
tions and anathemas against copperheads,
traitors, 'the sum of all villainies,' dis
loyal scoundrels, anil such other phrases
as are used only by people who batten up
on 'moral ideas.'
We trust all our friends have the same
opinion of the Gazette as the Times, as
we ask no better from friend or foe.
The 1 nion State Central Com
mittee of Pen'a to tlie Patriots
ofthe South Greeting.
PHII,ADEI,PHIA, Aug. 10.
The Union State Central Committee of
Pennsylvania send greeting to their brave
Union brothers of the South, and extend
to them a hearty welcome, on the occa
sion of their meeting in this city, on Mon
day, the 3d day of September next.
History furnishes no parallel to the pat
riotism, courage and fidelity of those men
who, from the beginning of the rebellion
to the end, fought the good light, and
kept the faith.
The question to be decided is whether
loyalty is to be proscribed and punished
i?i the persons of patriots like these, or
treason rewarded and honored in the per
sons of the guilty authors and agents of
the rebellion. .Shall the loyal masses or
the baffled and defeated tniitors govern
the country? In these great issues all are
vitally concerned, and our Southern com
patriots have instinctively turned toward
the spot whence the Great Charter of
American Liberty was first proclaimed,
and propose, within the sacred shadows
of Independence Hall, to renew their
vows of fidelity to the principles of that
immortal creed, and to take counsel with
their Union friends.
On behalf of the loyal men of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, this Com-'
mittee hereby gratefully extend a cordial
welcome to these patriots and friends from
the Southern States. All who come will
be received with open arms and warm
hearts.
The Union men of the entire Common
wealth are cordially and earnestly invi
ted to come here and honor the occasion
with their presence, and to enable all to
confer together upon the present and fu
ture of our imperilled country.
It is also suggested and recommended
that our friends from other States send
delegations hereon this important occa
sion, not to sit in convention, buttocheer
and co-operate with these tried champi
ons of libertj* from the South.
By order of the Committee.
FK. JORDAN, Chairman.
Ludicrous Scenes til Serenades to
Joluisonites in Philadelphia—
A Happy People Ridiculing the
Joliny Itehs. *
Cheers for Geary Jiang in the Ears of the
Traitors whom Geary Whipped.
About 5 o'clok on Wednesday after
noon a kind of impromptu meeting WHS
organized on the Ninth street front of the
Continental, which was kept up amid
great confusion, for several hours. A
band of music had gone around from ho
tel to hotel, serenading the delegates to
the Convention, and as everybody tho't
that speeches would be made, a large and
promiscuous audience assembled iu and
about tiie Continental. Mr. Gtonte Frm
,is Train led(off in hi, uauai slffe He
was followed by Wm. H. Miller. It was
not until after they had spoken that the
amusing scenes occurred. There was not
the least disposition manifested to indulge
in any overt act; the entire crowd seem!
having a merry time.
The Hon. George W. Curtis spoke for
half an hour, amid calls for Mosbv, Jeff.
a\ is and others of the defunct Confed
eracy. On the question of the social
of th , e negro, he spoke as follows:
F " CITIZENS— I am opposed to
the negro [Laughter, cheers, and cries
of 'boo, boo/] if any man appears |£
ore you for suffrage, jusf look if one-half
ins lace is black and the other half is
anrtW' t bouts ''Bring out a candle
and let s see yours!"— Laughter mingled
with applause.] It is impossible to make
the negro equal to the white man. [Cries
of "we know it; tell us something new A
Shouts —"How are you, Andersonville?"
"Mosby! AYillandigham!" Tell us some
thing about Jeff Davis.'']
My friends, I was going to say—"[Three
i cheers for the Dead Duck!" "Three
groans for the Dead Dog!" "Three
cheers for John AY. Forney!" "Three
cheers for Thud. Stevens" "Three groans
for Jeff' Davis!"] lam not in favor of ne
gro equality. [Laughter, cheers and clap
ping of hands.] But while I am not in
favor of suffrage for the negro, I would
: protect him. lam a friend to the negro.
[Tremendous shouts of "Oh! oh! bully!"]
j I am, I was going to say—[Go black your
• face!" "You're a friend to the nigger!"
; Cries of " Oh. you are!"
Cheers for almost everything loyal and
I groans for all traitors drowned the speak
| er's voice, and he finally retired.
The next sjieaker was introduced as
j Gen. Epsom, of Texas. As soon as the
meeting heard this, such ejaculations
came up from the mighty enthusiastic
crowd: " Where did you get your com
• mission from." "Who did you fight for?"
Fellow Citizen*: The Southern States
1 are now reorganizing and preparing to
; come into the Union ; to acknowledge the
Constitution and to hear true allegiance
to the.Government. [Cries of "You had
;to do it —can't help yourself."] The
' speaker hesitated a moment, whereupon
j some one in the crowd, with a sharp,
shrill voice like a clarion, reiterated the
cry, "What flag did you fight under?" —
! "What kind of a General are you?" shout
icd another. [Roars of laughter, cheers
i and groans.]
We have come, fellow-citizens, from all
i parts of the country. [Cries —"We didn't
I ask you."] Wo have come to mingle with
; you, and shall it be said that an Ameri-
I can citizen, in a free country —[Cries of
| "Oh! oh! who made it free?" "Oh! gobag
! your head." Three cheers for Lincoln. —
Three cheers for General Grant. Three
j groans for the "Bread-and-Butfcer Bri
' gade." Roars of Laughter.]
Fellow citizens—[criesof "How arc you
j Johnny RelY?" f Laughter.' "Three cheers
for General Geary!" They were given
| with a tremendous shout] —Fellow citi
zens: AVe arc from all parts of the coun
| try. You certainly will not refuse to hear
jme speak. Shall Igo home! [Here the
; speaker was again interrupted with tre
{ mendous shouts of " Yes?" "Go home!
go home!" "We don't care about hear
ing you!" " Bring out your next speak- j
er?"] I
General Epsom retired, and presently '
i another candidate for public favor essayed j
to speak. We did not hear his name. The !
j meeting was quiet for a moment, and the j
i speaker said :
T am from Alabama. This is the first
| time in my life that I have ever spoken !
| in Philadelphia. [Shouts, "What did you i
| come for?" "Who are you?"]
"Gentlemen," said the speaker. [Cries
iof "AWre the Boys"—Three cheers for
, the boys in blue"—"Three cheers for Gen
i eral Geary!"] !
■ _ The speaker now exhibited evidence of
I losing his temper, and said something
about "renegade Pennsylvanians." His
voice was now drowned by several hund
red joining in full chorus:
" Down with the traitor,
Up with tlie stars."
While this song was being sung amid
the most deafening cheers, in which it
really seemed the entire assemblage of
five thousand people joined, the speaker
retired.
At a little after ten, this singular and
truly comical meeting was dispersed. A
portion of the people then proceeded down
Chestnut street, singing "John Brown,"
"Rally Round the Flag, Boys," Down
with the Traitors, hurrah, boys, hurrah,"
I and cheering for Gen. J. AV. Geary, Thad
j deus Stevens and Col. John AV. Forney.
