And on tile 16th day of April, 1801. af- ' tei the news of the attack upon Sumter had fired the Northern heart, and hun dred* of thousands were rallying to the I defence of our insulted liag. Mr Clvnier united with his five disloyal colleagues in entering upon the journal of the Senate i thes}Le rate v t , : T the biH for fining the Mate.— See Legislative Record IRT.I i pages 902 and 3. com IN,1 > ! It is true these Senators veiled their op- 1 position to this measure under a pretend ed regard for constitutional forms; but so they did subsequently in all the eftorts of the Government to uphold its authority against the rebellion, aud to guard the national flag from insult and dishonor. Against Collection of Direct Tax in 1802. In the session of 1802, during the dark days of the Republic, when reverses had overtaken her armies, and her credit was strained to the utmost to supply the means of sustaining them in the* field, Mr. Clymer voted against the lutions of the Legislature to provide for the collection of the direct tax levied bv the United States.— See Legislative Rec ord 1862, pages 154-5. rwi, was the only opportunity Mr. Cly mer and his Democratic colleagues had, during that session, to manifest their hos tility t< the government and their sym pathy with treason. True to their in stincts, they tried to withhold the sup plies, as before they had attempted to withhold the men. Agaim* Law Authorizing Soldiers to Vole. On the 9th of April, 1863, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of a bill " to enable citizens of this commonwealth engaged in the military and naval service of the United States, or the military ser vice of Pennsylvania, to vote." Mr. Cly mer voted against the section ; ami subse quently on the 10th of April, 1863, on the final passage of the bill, the Nays were- Messrs. Bucher, Clymer, Donovan, Ulatz, Kincey. Lamberton, McSherrv, Mott, Reillv. Smith, Stark. Ste.n, and Uall 13 navs, all Democrats.— See LegisUitn Record' 1863, page 808. In the session of 1864, on the 9th ot March the joint-resolutions proposing an amendment to the Constitution, authori zing the soldiers to vote when absent in the field, being before Ihe Senate, on their final passage Mr. Clymer, although pres ent, dodged ; and in the afternoon of the sauie day, having asked leave to record his vote" the Senate refused. — See Legis lative Record, 1864 . pages 335-41. And when, later in the session, a bill wasTntroduced to carry into effect a Con stitutional amendment to that effect, upon its final passage Mr. Clymer not only spoke against it, but with his twelve Dem ocratic colleagues voted against it. See Legi-dativ Record, 1864, page 509. Mr. Clymer rotes against the Hit! to De fine and Punish Offences of a Treason able Character. The then existing legislation of Con gress in regard to the definition and pun ishment of treasonable offences having been found entirely deficient in the crisis of the rebellion, in order to encourage prompt and vigorous action by Congress the following joint-resolution was intro duced into the Legislature of Pennsylva nia : " Be. it Resolved, Ac., That the Senators "from this State be instructed and the " members of Congress requested to pro "cure the immediate passage of laws de " lining and punishing offences of a trea sonable character, not amounting, to "high treason, and providing for the fair j "and speedy trial, by an impartial jury, i " of persons charged with such offences in " the loyal and undisturbed States, so that " the guilty may justly suffer, and the in "iiocent be relieved." During the debate Mr. Clymer made various captious objections to the resolu tion; and on its final passage voted No. — See Legislative Record, 1863, pages 204-S. He Opposes Bounties to Volunteers. So upon the question of bounties to sol diers, Mr. Clymer manifested his opposi tion toitasa measure intended tostrength en the government in its struggle with the rebellion. Doubts having arisen as to the extent of the authority of the county commis sioners to contract debts for ibis purpose, legislation was imperatively called for to secure prompt and uniform action thro'- out the State. This was on theeve of the great invasion of the State, and hut three months before the battle of Gettysburg. A bill to legalize tbe payment of these bounties having been introduced, and per fected by a conference of the committees of the two houses, upon its final pas-age Mr. Clymer voted against it.— See Legis lative Record, 1863, pages 809-11. Clymer on Johnson. On the 6th of March, 186;!, the follow ing resolution was submitted in the Sen ate of Pennsylvania:— " Resolved, That Governor Andrew Johnson ot Tennessee, and Ex-Governor Joseph A. Wright, of Indiana, be and they are hereby tendered the use of the hall of the Senate this afternoon, for the purpose of addressing their fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania." Mr. Clymer, in the discussion which followed, said, among other things,"/ know, sir, that Andrew Johnson hasg'one .as tar as the tarthest, and is ready to go still farther, to destroy, to uproot, to up turn every principle upon which this great and good Government of ours was founded. Tknow that lie has bent with suppliant knee hetore the throne of pow er. I KNOW THAT FOR PELF, or some other consideration, he* has suc cumbed to every measure presented to him for approval or disapproval; and / know t.iat in speeches delivered in the capitals of other States he has enunciated doctrines which, if adopted by the people ol the great North, would le subversive ot individual freedom and personal right." Sir, by no vote of mine can anv per son holding such views address the peo ple of Pennsylvania in this chamber.— Never, sir, never, so long as I have a right to forbid him !" And afterwards, ill disguising his bit terness and his contempt for the loyal Governor oi Tennessee, lie described him as a mere hireling of federal patronage and power," and voted against giving him a hearing.— See Legislative Record. 1863, pages 376-7. Hrihcrv and Corruption. < ould the people of the United States realize the Bribery and Corruption going on under Andrew Johnson's administra tion, every taxpayer in the land would rise against it and give such a verdict at the October election, as would for many years to come put down the infamous sys tem inaugurated by a set of leeches into whose hand Johnson, apparently lost to all sense of duty, has committed the power of removal and appointment to office.— Like highway robbers, they do not ask what an officeholder raaj be disposed to give, but assess them in sums from $lO to .>SOOO, and in two eases that have been made public in New York .as high as SSOO. and all who do not pay over the amounts claimed are at once removed.— Iwo parties seem to be at work at this swindling business-the first a Johnson te Committee headed by Jos. R Flan- Jgen, publisher of the Philadelphia Daily News, with Tlios. C McDowell, a notori ous politician well known in thisdistrict as lus collector; and the other a Washing ton Committee with Charles Knap as Sec retary. \\ e know of no better mode of making rascals out of officeholders than such a swindling system of compulsory payments, by which every officeholder is deprived of a portion of his salary to go towards filling the pockets of bankrupt politicians, as too many may reason that ej iave as good a right to make such deficiencies good out of the public funds as Andrew Johnson's Knaves have to take it from them. To add to the shame fulness of this conduct, it is only a year ago since the President denounced the system as wrong, and actually promoted u clerk who then refused to pay one. Mr. Willis and his War Service. The Democrat is fortunate in being ; blessed with editors, No. 4 having made his debut last week, and is we presume tin Willis editor. Baron Munchausen's i stories, the new editor says, are only j " harmless errors," while our corrections ' contain " several false and malicious inu eudoes." The writer then goes on to aver that Mr. Willis did raise a eonipanv —that he paid the printing hills— that he was offered a commission of Lieut. Colo nel. but declined, and then accepted the post of Quartermaster —at Fort Steaxlinan 1 was in the thickest of the light, and to cap the climax of absurdity in making Mr. Willis a military hero, Editor No. 4 triumphantly proclaims that "it was not his (.Mr. Willis') business to shoot rebels I or to be shot at by them!" Is not that proving exactly what we said? Our own opinion is we did not deal in j inuendoes at all, but said distinctly that certain statements were destituteof truth. Like numbers of others Mr. Willis had authority to raise a company and aided in doing so; others assisted. To say that no one else, with the ofi'er of double boun ties, could raise a company, Dull non sense, as companies were raised both be fore and after. Besides, if Mr. Willis, as is alleged, induced men to enlist under a belief that they were to serve under him, was it fair to leave them? This question j Editor No. 4's defence suggests, and in connection with the statement that he ! was ottered the second position in the re- . giment, but declined it, only proves, if proof was needed, that lie raised men to shoot and be shot at, " while it was not his business to shoot rebels or be shot at j by them!" This, let all bear in mind, j is the language of the Democrat, not ours, and brings up the query What was his business! Public opinion answers thus: lie took a position of no danger, in which he could make money, and it is admitted on all hands that lie did make it —Mo HE, j PROBABLY, IN THAT Bill EE SERVICE, ' THAN A LABORING MAN COKED EARN IN I MANY YEARS oV HARD WORK FROM EAR LY MORNING UNTIL NIGHT. We find no fault with the faet of any 1 man making what he honestly can in any j pursuit, but there are positions which one set of men eould consistently hold while j another would lie condemned for doing ; the same thing. Thus, were a preacher to open a tavern, keep a hall room, a bil- j liard table, a lager beer saloon, or other similar occupation, even his customers would be apt to shake their heads or give him a knowing wink whenever his see- ; mons contained some pointed allusions.— Now, Mr. Willis is not exactly a preacher, hut he professes religion, attends prayer meetings and Sunday School, holds a i Bible Class, and we believe has a Sunday ! School in the country. Such a man must not act inconsistently with his professions, for if he does he inflicts an injury on the ; first great principle he professes to teach, I and gives room for scoffers to talk. His advocates allege he went Into tlie service from patriotic motives alone; yet, accord- | ing to their own statements, he declines ; commands, but accepts a well-paving sit- j uation which involved the sale of liquor ! to officers, who of all men in an army : ought to keep sober, for if it is not good j' for privates, we cannot see how it can be | for officers. "Oh, but," says one, "the government required him to keep it." So j it did —but it did not require liim to ac- i eept the office, nor was he hound in any j way whatever to enter the service in that capacity. We know there were good eit- j izens at the time who expressed surprise that Mr. Willis should takeapost involv ing such a condition, and we know also that others sneeringly used it by alleging that where money was to be made a pro fession of religion was but a light iirqietl iment. We leave it to Editor No. 4to de termine what the motive was. Of "Mr. Willis personally we heretofore had a good opionion, far better than some of the men who are now lauding him as a model of honesty, virtue and patriotism. We were somewhat surprised to see him adapt himself to political mountebankistn; j more surprised to hear that lie lent him self to further the schemes of political demagogues of every shape and hue, for whom he used to express the most un feigned contempt; but after circulating a paper last week, containing a low and contemptible attack on the senior editor of the Gazette, and drawing attention to it, as we know he did, the inference is plain that he has already adopted that part of anolfice-huuteres creed which deems any thing fair and honest in politics. In con trast with hLs own conduct in this respect, we tell him here that more than one per son lias given us particulars respecting his private character to which we utterly refused to give publicity, for, whether true or false, we have no desire to drag such matters before the public against any political opponent, unless he gives us ; provocation to do so. Of all we have heretofore said he had no right to com plain, for the points under discussion were Drought forward by his own friends. Look to tlie Assessments. Saturday, September 29th, will be the last day for making assessments. It is important that all who have any doubt as to their being assessed look to the rolls. All voters who have changed their resi dences since the last assessment should be particularly careful to consult the rolls of the assessments in their new locality.

Johnston, the mixed up party candidate for Congress in this dis trict, in a letter defining his course, if elected, says he will not vote to admit a dislogal member. Does he consider any body disloyal down South? FACTS FOR GOVERXMEXT BONDHOLDERS.
