RESTORA T I O IV !
The Policy of tlie Union Party
to Restore the Xatioual Union.
li Jtesolved by (he Senate and Home of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, two
thirds of l)oth 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 the said Legislatures,
shall be valid as a part of the Constitu
tion. namely:
"ARTICLE— Section 1. All persons born
or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are cit
izens of the United States, and of the
State wherein they reside. No Stateshafi
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States. Nor shall
any State deprive any person of life, lib
erty, or property without due process of
law, nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of tlie
laws.
"Section 2. Representatives shall beap
portioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed; but when
ever the right to vote at any election for
electors of President and Vice President,
or for United States Representatives in
Congress, executive and judicial officers,
or the membersof 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, ur
in any. way abridged, except for partici-
Eation in rebellion or other crime, the
asis of representation therein shall be
reduced in the proportion which the num
ber of such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty-one
years of age in that State.
"Section 3. No person shall be a Senator
or Representative in Congress, 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 Leg
lature, or as an executive or judicial officer
of any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States, shall have engaged
in insurrection or rebellion against the
same, or given aid or comfort to the ene
mies thereof; but Congress may, by a vote
of two-thirds of each House remove such
disability.
"Section 4. The' validity of the public
debt of the United States authorized bv
law, including debts incurred for the pay
ment of pensions and bounties for service
in suppressing insurrection or rebellion,
shall not be questioned, but neither the
United States nor any States hall assume
or pay any debt or obligation incurred in
aid of insurrection or rebellion against
the T nited States, or anv claim for the
loss or emancipation of any slave, but all
such debts, obligations, and claims shall
be held illegal and void."
Wm. AVillis and John S. Miller
are pledged to vote against the ratification
of the above just and equitable settle
ment of our national difficulties.

A Fevr Plain questions.
Can any democrat assign a single reas
on why he should vote for Willis and
Miller in preference to Brown and Whar
ton? Nol>ody knows what the first named
are, while of the latter there is no doubt.
Can any republican give a single reason
why he should vote for Willis or Miller
in preference to Brown or Wharton?
Hard Run for Something to Say.
Whoever will pick up the Lewistown
Democrat, or any of the papers ip this
district advocating Jolm-on's new party,
cannot but mark the want of sensible po
litical argument in their columns. Negro
suffrage is the main feature, yet he must
indeed be a silly fool who does not know
that even if the republican party desired
it no such question can be submitted to
the voters of this State before 1869-three
years hence. But the republicans do not
desire it, and we venture to say that if, at
this day, the naked question was submit
ted to the people, not ten men in Lewis
town would vote to extend that right to
the blacks. To those who served in the
army a better fettling prevailed among all
parties a year ago, and had the question
then come up, we believe a majority of
republicans and democrats would have
sustained it; but by 1869 this feeling will
wear away altogether, and with the pre
judice created by political papers against
that race, we look tor tho time when every
negro soldier will be cursed by ignorant
men for having served in the war against
rebellion at all.
.So too with all the measures called for
by the suppression of the rebellion. A
Christian man, or any one having the
common feeling of humanity, would sup
pose that it is the duty of government to
extend its fostering care to the weak and
oppressed, but instead of this we find
every leading measure, and especially the
Freedmen's Bureau, which has relieved
thousands of poor whites as well as blacks
from starvation, and is in charge of the
Christian General Howard, stigmatized
from Andrew Johnson down as engines
of oppression and corruption. Does it not
sound strangely to hear a President thus
denounce a law administered under his
own supervision, whose Officers he can re
move at pleasure, or is the whole thing
mere claptrap? It strikes us if there is
anything wrong, a certain Executive of
ficer is in fault, and that he is not doing
what he swore he would do.
What Does It Mean ?
Sundry papers and flppenny-bit speak
ers of the dead democracy, as well as the
bread and butter brigade, insist upon it
that thej>eople are called upon this fall to
vote on a constitutional amendment to
allow negro suffrage in this State. As
the constitution was amended in 1864,
and therefore cannot be altered for live
years thereafter, do these hypocrites mean
to override the Constitution, and bring
negro suffrage before the people in defi
ance of the provisions of that instrument?
They either mean to do this, or else, in
vulgar parlance, they lie, and that too
knowingly, as any man with three grains
of brains in his head can see by reading
the Constitution! The fact is, this ques
tion of negro suffrage is put forward for
the sole purpose of deceiving ignorant
men as to the real issue at stake, which
truly is, whet! er leading rebels shall be
restored as lawmakers and officeholders
with greater political power than they
ever had before? The constitutional
amendments proposed by Congress would
at once make Pennsylvania a white man's
government, and it would make the South
the same; hut the trouble is it would only
give them representation according to
WHITE POPULATION, and thus prevent
them from representing themselves as
well as four millions of negroes. That's
where the shoe pinches, and that's what
calls for a yell from the dead democracy
and its allies.
Joined to their Idols.
A political meeting was held last week
at Frederick City, Maryland, in favor of
the President's policy. The speakers and
those assembled appeared to have an idea
that the "Confederacy" still existed, or
that it would again arise from its ashes,
like the fabled plicenix. Cheers, loud and
long, were given for Jef Davis, Beaure
gard, Lee, Forrest, &c., &c. To add eclat
to the occasion, a six-horse wagon front
the country entered the town with a rebel
fl a U fastened to the head of each horse.
Comment on such a demonstration,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, seems al
most useless. The Hag was cheered to
the echo, and those comjjosing theassem
blage gave unmistakable evidences of their
fealty to 'Davis and the emblem of that
rebellion which was crushed by the men
ot the North and West. If the southern
people are earnest in their desire to par
ticipate in the blessings of the Union,
they must exhibit it in some other way
than that of applauding Jeft. Davis and
his rebel flag. The North is in no humor
to succumb to the conquered or lose the
flints of its toil, its blood and its treasure
expended for the preservation of its free
institutions and the integrity of the na- i
tion. We are sorry to note, diiv after day,
this foolish and wicked spirit on the part
of Southern communities. They find
fault with Congrqgs, and yet they furnish
in their actions the very arguments which
are advanced against them in Congress. !
td they do better, until thev evince a
readiness to abandon their love for treas
on and prove it by electing loyal men to
our national councils, they will be looked i
upon, and with reason, as still opposed to
the Government, and as meu willing
whenever opportunity offers, to renew
their efforts for its destruction. While
they display the rebel fiag, cheer Jef Da
vis, and prate about the superiority of the
South over the North, they are entitled
-to no more than they have already re
ceived at the hands of Congress.

versant with politics in this State suvs
ioritv n'i th V'-' ud by immense nia
jontj, and that instead of losing we shall
gain members of Congress. j
John S. Miller.
It took u- sonic time to ascertain what
this brother chip of Mr. Willis was, and
we are able at last to state that Mr. Mil- j
. ler's principal occupation has been selling
whisky—served his country during the
war by turning" horse contractor, and
keeping copperhead headquarters gener
ally for the sympathizers of southern
treason. Par mobile fratrum. The Hun
tingdon Journal says his house was made
the rendezvous for those friends of South
ern rights who proposed to tear down the
j Globe office because it deserted them in
the hour of adversity, which readily ac
counts for that paper's rather lefthanded
notice of his nomination.
Gain in Vermont nearly 10.OOO!
Gain in Maine nearly IO.OOO!
The New York Herald, long the de
fender and supporter of Johnson, consid
ers the result in Vermont and Maine as
decisive of the fall elections, and strongly
! recommends the Southern States to adopt
; the Constitutional Amendments and thus
I gain admission into Congress at once. It j
concedes those elections to be overwhelm
ing reflections of public sentiment, and
predicts republican triumphs throughout.
i &Sir" A negro is a better man than An- :
| drew Johnson.— Speech of John William- i
j son, in Johnstown, August 29, 1566.
The alKiye shows that Daniel J. Morrell, i
■ the disunion candidate for Congress,
thinks more of a negro than he does of
the President of the United States! This
was shown by Mr. Morrell applauding
Williamson, when he was making the
above speech.— Lewistown Democrat.
John \\ illiamson says a great many
hard things, and he may have said the
above; but if he did, it neither shows
what Mr. Morrell is or what he thinks. 1
We are very sure, however, he applauded j
no such sentiment.
The New Coalition.
It is surmised that the treat%- of peace '
consummated at Tyrone among Cowan, j
Johnston and Burns is that the last is to I
have full and complete control of all the
appointments in this and neighboring
counties, and also to have a sayso in all
others where lie feels interested. If this j
is the case, Mr. Burns' name ought to ap
pear above Johnston'sin the papers whicli
support "My policy."
The Democrat chimes in with an
article from the Juniata Republican about
the number of papers supporting My pol- !
icy in this district. The three in Mifflin- I
town would amount to about one—the j
Huntingdon Globe is not a paying con- I
cern. as we hear Lewis has himself said— |
the Monitor certainly is not—and the j
Shirleysburg Herald we would not take
bestowed, if we had to publish it.
US?" Neither the Juniata Republican I
nor the Shirleysburg Herald, which pub
lished the nonsensical flattery and false
hoods of Mr. Willis, have thus far retract
ed their foolish statements.
Far the Gazette.
Mr. Editor—We hear a great amount
of talk now-a-days about soldiers and sol
diers' friends, arid of course the copper
johnsonists make as loud professions as
any other class, notwithstanding* they
have selected for their standard bearer one
who has been notorious for his opposition j
to the soldiers and their interests. To
show however how far these professions
are sincere, there was a Mr. Myers, who ;
served his country for more than four i
years, and who hears upon his body the j
marks of seven minnie bails received i
in the same engagement in which Col. j
Huling fell. This mangled veteran j
chanced to find his way to Reedsville on !
last Tuesday, and on Wednesday evening ,
lie took occasion to express his preference j
for (xen. Geary for Governor, when a !
scene took place which should bringdown !
the disapprobation of all good citizens
upon those that were engaged in it, and |
stamp the perjietrators with eternal in fa- i
my. Following the example of their illu -- i
trous predecessors of the reconstructed of
New Orleans, they gathered around him,
and after making sundry demonstrations,
one sneaked up behind and made the bold j
attack upon the crippled man; not with
his fist, but with a stone, as if to give the
public a practical demonstration of his
wonderful courage in whipping Republi- j
cans, of which he was silly enough the j
other week to boast of in a speech lie tried 1
to make, when he told them that tliey
could whip Radicals with their lists; if they
couldn't do that, they would do it with the
point of the bayonet. Comment on such
conduct is unnecessary. v. p.
For the Gazette.
Is tiic Democratic Party Sold?
Mr. Editor —Not liking the position in
which our managers have placed the rank
and file of the democratic party, others
besides myself would like to know why
we are expected to ratify whatever bar
gains a few men choose to make. Having
waited in vain for some reason from our
paper and our speakers at meetings why
we should vote for an ism ticket, I ask the
use of your columns to say a few words
on this subject. After inquiry, I find
that John 8. Miller was until lately a
tavernkeeper at Huntingdon, so that,
temperancely speaking, the ticket stands
as follows:
For Assembly,
| Jno.S. Miller, late liquor seller to privates.
\Vm. Willis, late liquor seller to officers.
• M". Editor, don't that smell rather
strong? Oh, but, says one, they are clev
er fellows. Suppose they are, that is not
all we want, and to show you what I mean
I will publish 1113- "experience." I came
to town and of course was button-holed
by more than one. Matthews told me
they were all right—Burns told me they
; were all right—two or three Johnson
men told me they were all right—a tavern
keeper told me they were all right—and :
yet Mr. Willis himself told a republican '
neighbor of mine that he was as good a
republican-as ever! The whole thing
sounds strangely to our ears, and before
j we agree to clinch this bargain and sale
of democratic votes to make' somebody
right, we'll want to know more than w'e
do. Publish this, anil you'll hear from
me again.
A RANK AND FILE DEMOCRAT,
who was once called a Copperhead.
[Crack your whip, old fellow, as much
as you please. Make your notes, and faith !
we'll print 'em—nothing like it in a hap- 1
jpy family.—EDß. GAZETTE.]
! The Democrat's attempt to connect
rebel papers south and republican papers
north as disunionists is rather weak. It
• would be more pertinent to compare them
j during the war.
The Shirleysburg herald does not cal
culate much on Huntingdon county,
which it hopes may only balance Juniata,
leaving Milllin to decide the election. —
Huntingdon will do its duty, and mark
it, so will Mifflin.
fi*u.The Democrat wants to know
whether Congress ever voted any money
to keep poor white men. They did. The
| official report of tha Freedmen's Bureau
shows that more than two whites to one
1 colored man was supplied with rations bv
it.
jjtjf" The most sign iff cant fact we have
lately seen is the advance in London from
nothing to 41 of the rebel bonds on the re
ceipt of the doinps of the Philadelphia
August convention. No proceedings of
any republican convention has ever sent
rebel bonds upwards!
