Onr Hember, I). J. Morrell. Esq.
The election of this gentleman to Con- j
gress by an unprecedented majority in ;
this district—in the face too of money, j
the whole {tower of the Johnson adminis- j
tration with its brilies and promises of [
office, and of lukewarm politicians who
hoped by their quiescence to show that
their active support was necessary to any j
man's success —is an event worthy of more
than a passing notice. He did not seek j.
the office, but it rather sought him; and
from the moment he gave a reluctant con
sent to be a candidate, we had little or no
doubt of his nomination, and none what- :
ever of his election after being nominated, j
notwithstanding every effort was made j
to defeat him that political knavery could ;
design and carry* out. The falsehoods and j
slanders promulgated against him, how- j
ever, were so destitute of foundation that
they relrounded to the injury of those
whom they were designed to benefit, by
disgusting opponents who knew only to
esteem him. and making lukewarm j
friends act ive co-workers.
But Mr. MorrelPsgreatest triumph, one :
of which he may well feel proud, was in j
('ambria county. There, everylxxly knew I
him. ami although it was hoped he would j
make considerable gain over the republi- |
can ticket, yet the result was one of the j
most astounding that could have fallen I
upon politicians, and astonished even his i
own friends. All know how difficult it is
to break through party usages, especially i
in an exciting campaign like the last, '
which largely partook of a National char- '
acter. If to this be added the fact that the :
Alleghanian, heretofore the organ of the j
republican party in that county, main- i
tained an "armed neutrality" against Mr.
Morrell —in truth it was alleged here by i
Johnson men and copperheads that Mr. (
Barker, its editor, was with them—a re
duction of the majority there to about
350 i- one of those instances which dem
onstrates that THE PEOPLE had the mat- j
ter in charge, and as is usual when they
determine what is right, laid aside all jx>
litical prejudices and preferences, and t
gave -uch a verdict in favor of oneof their i
own number, as politicians in that region ;
will not soon forget, and which others
may also profit by.
fife * The whole country was thrown !
into a feverish excitement last week by !
the publication of a special despatch in
the Philadelphia Ledger stating that the
President*had submitted to the Attorney
General the following questions:
First. Is the present Congress, com- j
jawed of memliers from Northern States
alone, such a Congress as the Constitution I
requires, or is it an illegal and unconsti-!
tutiomd assemblage?
Second. Would existing circumstances
justify the President in sending his next
annual message to an illegal and uncon
stitutional assemblage pretending to be
the Congress of the United States ?
1 bird. Docs not the clause 111 section o j
ol the first article of the Constitution '
which makes each house the judge of the j
election returns and qualifications of it-* 1
own members give to the present Con- i
gress the right to exclude the members
Irom ten States, or to impose dishonorable
or unconstitutional terms upon their ad
mission?
fourth. Does the President's oath of
office require him to enforce these provis
ions of the Constitution which give to
each Mate an equal right of representa
tion in ( <ingress—article first, section sec
ond. section third; article fifth, last clause?
rlh h. \\ hat steps do the Constitution
and ins oath of office require the Presi
dent to take in order to secure the assem
blage of a constitutional Congress?
Although these revolutionary senti
- meats were semi-officially denied, and the
Ledger has come to the conclusion that its !
correspondent was not warranted in mak
ing these assertions, .vet their tenor is so j
near what Johnson has himself repeated
ly hinted at, and some of his satelites have I
openly advocated, that thousands contin- j
ue to believe it was intended as a feeler.
W liaT the powerof Congress is was long
since decided by the .Supreme Court, espe
cially in the case of Luther against Bor
den. given in 7 How., U. S. Reports, p. 1,
(which arose out of the u Dorr war," hi
Rhode Island) when the Court held that
under the fourth section of the Constitu
tion, providing that the United States
should guarantee to every Stute a repub
lican form of government:—
" I t rests with Congress to decide what
government is the established one iu the
i tatr. cor as the United States guaran
tees to each State a republican form of
government, Congress must necessarily
decide what government is established
before it can determine whether it is re
publican or not. And when theSeuators
and Representatives are admitted into the

tutional authority, and its decision is bind
ing on every other department of the Gov
ernment, and could not be questioned in a
judicial tribunal."
That is the Constitution, as expounded
by the tribunal whose decisions are equal
ly as binding on the President as on the
people.
Our Country in Ian?er.
The new and unheard of doctrines re
cently enunciated by Andrew Johnson
that Congress is an illegal body and con
stituting himself sole judge of the fruits
produced by rebellion, is naturally crea
ting a dread of the future, and unless the
loyal men of the Union, whether republi
cans or democrats, will again speak in
unmistakable language, the Southern
rebels may speedily achieve that separa
tion of the Union which they failed toac
quire by war—for it cannot be disguised
that if th^infamous doctrines now openly
sanctioned by so many once prevail, there
is an end in this country to all written
law. The President told the people on
his late tour that he submitted his acts to
them. They have sjH>ken, and if over
whelming majorities in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and lowa, are worth any
thing, they {mint out to him that the peo
ple desire the Constitutional Amendments
submitted by Congress to be the basis of
settlement between the Rebel and Loyal
.States. If he submits to this expressed
will, as he ought to, we say let there be
j>eace for what is past; but if he does not,
and assumes to play the Dictator, as some j
of his tools allege he will, the sooner the !
{lower of that Constitution he has prated
so much about is brought to bear on him,
the better.
Every copperhead speaker in the
State asserted before the election that the
Civils Rights Bill conferred suffrage on
negroes, while the republicans alleged it
did no such thing. Did anybody see a
nigger vote? If they did, we'll bet a hat
the cops voted him, and that a cop board
took the vote.

One township in Huntingdon county
giving Miller 94 majority was not return
ed, the Judge having failed to appear.—
The republican judges waited for him
until next morning, and for their good
nature an attempt was made yesterday to j
throw out Huntingdon county, but failed, i
Verily, the patent democratic motto seems
to be creep in, steal in, or get into otlice ;
any way at all.
HrV" The Democrat tried hard last week
to make it appear that bribery could be i
justified at elections. We are authorized
to say that it is totally false that $lO were
paid or offered for joining the Union
League, or that $lO could have been had ;
at a "certain republican lawyer's office" j
for each vote. If the Democrat will name
the republican lawyer who made such an
oiler, we will guarantee it that paper will
take back its assertion as quick as sundry
persons did who re-echoed it last week on
the streets. But who ever before heard
of such a justification of bribery as the
Democrat makes ? To pay a man for
joining a league—although we do not be
lieve a single man was so paid—is not
illegal, while to bribe a voter, or for a
voter to take a bribe, are both jyts punish
able by fine and imprisonment.
The engine used at the steam saw mill
of Samuel Milliken, in Clearfield county, i
blew up on Wednesday of last week, do- ,
nig considerable damage to the mill.
new paper mill lately erected
in the Cove, Blair county, was destroyed
by tire on Tuesday evening of last week.
It was insured to the amount of $23,000,
822,000 less than cost.
StaT The despatch of Wm. A. Wallace,
chairman of the copper committee, 011
Wednesday morning, announcing that
the vote was close and that Clymer was
probably elected, cost the cops of this
county about SIOOO, which was lost in
bets made on thestrength of that despatch.
A patent democrat came to town
on Thursday and was told that the elec
tion was cl<m\ but that Geary was prob
ably elected by a small majority; lie went
home, made a bet with a republican that
Geary would'nt have 13,000, which he
thought sure, and woke up on .Saturday
morning to learn that a small majority
meant some 16,000. He subscribed for the
Gazette, and-says he will read it hence
forward.
fisJV. A correspondent wants to know
whether those who lent horses to two
darkeys at Reedsville on the Ist October
; with a view ot ridiculing the republican
procession, ever lent a poor white man a
horse without pay? Guess not—the white
man would have to pay.
£-3*- Three democratic Judges of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania a few
years ago decided that soldiers couldn't
vote in the field, though it was done in
lsl2 and in the Mexican war. The same
judges last spring decided that deserter*
• could vote. Brown township in this
county goes a step further in itsdcruocray,
j ami not only gave a democratic majority
against the constitutional amendment
allowing soldiers to vote, but its board
j takes both rebel and deserter votes.
