less solemnly pledged to the protection, in the enjoyment of all thoirnatural their persons, property and domestic rela tions—of the colored population whQ .have been emancipated by the fiat of the pboolej and under the providence of God; and who deserved liberty by their kindness and fidel ity to oar soldiers in prison, or wounded, or seeking escape from their tormentors, and by their courage in bearing arms for and fighting the battles pf the Union. Even as man is more precious than money in every just , account, soj the honor of the nation is more sacredly engaged to these humble but never treacherous friends, than to those who hold its bonds stamped with the broad seal of the United States, that their freedom Shall not be a mockery nor their just hopes of security, education and elevation in intel lectual and moral improvement disappoint ed—und this faith must be kept inviolate. 9. Resolved , That protection to all branches of useful and productive industry is the only wise policy in our present na tional condition—is the true plan of restor ing the losses and ravages of war—of ad vancing the national prosperity, increasing the national wealth, and supplying the means of maintaining the public faith with the public creditors, and ultimately wiping out the national debt; that in the provision of internal revenue and the laying of duties on importations from foreign nations, the object should be to cause the former to press as lightly upon, and the latter to pro tect as fully as possible our own citizens who areengnged in works of labor, mining, manufacturing and every other province of home industry, against unequal and unfair competition with foreign capital and policy, which neither contribute to develop the resources of our country, assist to pay our taxes, nor are concerned to maintain our Government or confirm our national power or authority which, during the recent life struggle, they insidiously and maliciously strove to subvert. 10. lie,wived, That the administration of the public affairs of Pennsylvania by Gover nor Andrew G. Curtin, during the years of trial, toil, responsibility and anxiety which have recently passed over us, has been marked by such patriotic devotion, unyield ing courage, constant watchfulness, un wearied labor und shining ability, as have inude his name illustrious in the annals of this Commonwealth, and given hima place in the alfeclions and memory of the people which cannot be lost; his enviable title of “ the soldier’s friend” is in itself expressive of the highest eulogiums that could be pro nounced ou any publicoflicer, and when his term of honorable, useful and most beneficial service shall close, he shall not be forgotten, but honor, love, affectionate remembrance and tlit* plaudits of a grateful people shall cluster around his person, and moke his name memorable. 11. Resolved , That this Convention con gratulate the people of the State on the pas sage of a law relieving the reul eslato of the Commonwealth from taxation for State purposes, and tender to the members of the General Assembly their thanks for their r considerate attention to relieve the popular burdens, while they conlidontly refer to it as a proof of tho superior capacity of the Union organization for the beneficial con duct of public affairs, that nfter a long and exhausting war, the debt of Pennsylvania introduced, and the taxes, imposed in a time of peace by their political opponents, are diminished by the judicious management of executive officers and a General Assem bly. chosen by the Union party. 12. Ilcxolvctl, That the loyal people of Pennsylvania having steadily manifested, through the war with the rebellion, their warm regard for the rights of the gallant defenders of the Union, and never having voted to refuse them the right of suffrage; when in th'ocamp and on the field—a right I inestimable to them and formidable to I traitors and their sympathizers only—we take pleasure in expressing, not now for the first time, their gratitude for the gal lantry and devotion, and declaring again a long-settled purpose to appropriate the means and resources of the Government to the comfort, consolation and support of the disabled survivors, or the widows and or phans of those who fell in the conflict. 13. That tin* services, labors, consummate ability and unyielding fyith in the destiny of the country manifested by tho Umi. JCdvvin M. Stanton, as the head of tlie War Department during the rebellion, have of inestimable value to the coun- Lry, amj entitle him to the warmest com mendation of the people. M. Ar.so/r/v/, That Congress should not fail to make an equitable adjustment of bounties and allowances to the brave men wlfo were engaged in the military service ol the country; and that we heartily approve of the liberal appropriation now pending in the Legislalureof Pennsylvania for the care and education ol the orphan children of the soldiers who gave* their lives for the salva tion of the Republic. 10. lic.solrat, That in this crisis of public allairs, full of grateful recollections of his marvelous and memorable services on the fieldol battle, we turn to the example ofthe unlull(*ring and uncompromising loyalty of Diout.

Upon the reading oftho fourth resolution, O. J. Dickey, Esq., of this city, sprang to his feet and indignantly charged", in his usual excited manner that the resolution as read was not that adopted by the Committee on Resolutions. In this assertion he was sus tained by several members, but the major ity decided otherwise. The resolutions as a whole were received with applause, a few hisses being heard on the reading ol the resolution denouncing Senator Cowan. The resolution lauding the negroes was applauded about as hearti ly us any of the rest. As soou as the reading of the resolutions was finished, John Cessna moved that they be adopted as a whole. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Allegheny, expressed his utter surprise at the motion of Mr. Cessna, saying that he (Mr. Cessna) had positively pledged his word to the Com mittee on Resolutions, that he would make no effort to prevent a lull and open discus sion of the platform. Mr. A. K. McClure, of Franklin, moved that the platform be adopted with the ex ception [>l the fourth resolution. Rethought the name ni Andrew Johnson ought not to be mentioned in the convention. Mr. Hall, of Rlair, made a speech ofsome length, endorsing the resolution and pray ing that the members would pursue such a course as would not drive the President entirely away trom the party which elected him. Ci'ies of, “ he is gone already,” and jeers and laughter resounded throughout the hall. v Mr. McClure supported hi? resolution in some strong remarks, urging the Conven tion to pass the name of President Johnson by with what it deserved, silent contempt. Mr. Cessna followed the line of argument adopted by Mr. Hull, and appealed to the Convention to pass tho resolution ; saying that it was only an endorsement of the President while lie was unequivocally with the party, and not of any of his recent acts. PROPOSAL TO ENDORSE ANDY JOHNSON. P. 13. Carnahan, Esq., United States Dis trict Attorney at Pittsburg, offered the fol lowing as a substitute for the fourth resolu tion as reported by the Committee- Resolved, That relying on the well-tried loyalty and devotion of Andrew Johnson to the cause of the Union in the dark davs of treason and rebellion, rememberim/the patriotic conduct, services and suffering which in tunes past has endeared his naifie to the Union party, and now, reposing full trust in his ability, patriotism and integritv we express the confidence that the policy of his administration will be so shaped and conducted as to save the nation from the perils which still surround it. Mr. Lawrence, of Washington, made some stinging allusions to the fact that Mr Carnahan, being an office-holder, stood in a peculiar relation to the President; and appealed to him to withdraw his resolution. ML Curnahan refused to do so. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Allegheny, moved to strike out the words, “and now, reposing full trust in his ability, patriolisrA and in tegrity:’ He regarded it as u fatal mistako for the Republican party to go before the State on a platform endorsing President Johnson. O. J. Dickey hoped the gentleman from Allegheny would withdraw his amend ment. If he wanted the ayes and nays on v.-V it he could have them, and the amendment would be voted down.' * *'. Col. McClure said, the gentleman had Evidently got into the wrong convention; he had arrived just two days behind time; if his resolution had been offered in the Democratic Convention it would have been received with shouts of applause; it did not suit the tastes ef this body; and the best thing the gentleman could do would be to withdraw it. Mr. Marshall, of Allegheny, took occa sion to pitch into Mr. Hall, John Cessna, and some others who bad been making flings at the radical side of the convention. Some sharp words were exchanged be tween Messrs. Hall and Marshall, which showed what an utter want of harmony prevailed. EXCITEMENT AND CONFUSION. The greatest excitement and confusion prevailed throughout the Hall; and to add to the general disorder, the President ofthe Convention showed himself utterly unfit to preside. He could neither preserve order, nor comprehend the plainest parliamentary rules. Mr. Benedict, theClerkofthe House of Representatives, took his stand beside himtoassisthim. But it was no use. Honest John’s head was too thick and his brain too much bemuddled. He was quite past help, even lrom Mr. Benedict. His stupid decis ions, which were made one moment and reversed the next, gave rise to shouts of derisive laughter. Col. McClure badgered him with points of order until he was made a really pitiable object. At about every third sentence, Mr. McClure would solemnly remark, “Jf I be in order, sir,” and the mere enunciation ot the word order, invari ably brought down the house in shouts of laughter and applause. I* inally John Cessna got the floor amidst the general confusion, and proposed to re commit the resolution in regard to President Johnson, to the Committee on Resolutions Col. McClure, said he rose to appoint of order. The crowd yelled and roared with laughter, and the look ofthe President was one of utter dismay. He had conceived a holy horror of the gentleman from Frank lin. Mr. McClure stated his point of order to be that the resolution could not be re committed without re-committing the whole report, a part of which had b*een passed The President first said it coul'tl, and then he decided that it could not; all in about the same breath. (Laughter of course.) Fortunately for Covode, just at this point, Mr Carnahan withdrew his amendment; saying in an excited manner that he had only asked the Convention to say that President Johnson was not a traitor, a knave and a fool, but that it seemed mem bers were unwilling to do so. The original resolution being then before the Convention, Mr.. Cessna called for the previous question. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Allegheny, protested against being gagged, saying the gentleman from Bed ford had violated his plighted word in calling for the previous question. Mr. Cessna replied that he was doing what he did for the good ofthe party, and that he should not go tothegentlcinanfrom Allegheny to learn whut was gentlemanly. Mr. Kirkpatrick replied: “I hurl back upon the gentleman from Bedford the as sertion that he has violated his plighted word, a thing no gentleman ever does.” Cessna subsided, and called for the put ting of the vote on the previous question. Oneof the first delegates who voted asked what question was before tHe body. The Chairman declared the vote to be on the resolution. This caused another outburst of laughter at the expense of the chair; but the vote proceeded by ayes and nays, re sulting in the passage of the resolution by a vote of ayes 10}) to nays 21. Mr. Kirkpatrick in voting nay, said he did so because he believed the name of Andrew Johnson should never haVe been mentioned in the Convention M’OLUIIE WANTS CESSNA CONTINUED AS CHAIRMAN The other resolutions were then adopted as a whole, with the exception of the last, which refers to the State Central Committee! As an amendment to that Mr. McClure offer ed the following : Resolved , That the ability, fidelity and eminent success with which Hon. John Cessna discharged the duties of Chairman ot the Union State Committee, entitle him to the lasting gratitude of the Union party ol Pennsylvania, and that he is hereby con tinued Chairman of said Committee for an other year. That gave rise to ail excited discussion, it being apparent that many members of the Convention regarded it as a cunning scheme - for capturing all the patronage in case the nominee should be elected. Upon some delegate remarking that the resolution, as it came from the Committee, had received the approval of every member, someone asked if Mr. Cessna was not on the Com mittee. This bi ought the little dodger to his feet, and, making a virtue of necessity, he asked his friend Colonel McClure to withdraw his amendment. John did not subside, however, until he had made a speech in which be bid high for a reappointment. The resolution in regard to the State Central Committeewas then pass ed as it came from the Committee. BALLOT FOR GOVERNOR. O. J. Dieke}' moved the Convention pro ceed to ballot for Governor. Some one suggested that they ought first to make nominations. It was decided to proceed to ballot. Some one nominated Hon. John Cessna. Honorable John de clined in a neat little speech, which, being interpreted meant, that, finding himself worse ofi than when he was a candidate be fore the Democratic Convention three years before, he would be perfectly content to serve as Chairman of the State Central Committee, or in some other subordinate position. The first ballot resulted as follows: General John W. Geary 81 votes; W. W. Ketchum 30; J. IC, Moorhead 19: and Gen eral Harry White 3. General Geary’s nom ination was then made unanimous. SPEECHES *C. A committee was appointed to wait on the candidates and to bring them into the Hall. , While the committee Was absent, speech es were made by Thomas Marshall of Al legheny, John Cessna, and Galusha A. Grow. Mr. Marshall said that General Geary had called on him a few days ago and in a conversation had told him that he could fully endorse every act or speech of- Thaddeus Elevens, except that in regard to a certain place unmentionable to ears po lite. John Cessna rehashed his one old ha langue, only making it a little more radical to suit the times. Mr. Grow went off into a poetical rhapsody over the good time com ing, when equal and exact justice to all men should be the universaljrule of ouy na tional life and miscegenation the common practice. W hile he was in the very midst of one of his flights, General Geary, accom panied by a brass band, entered the hall. The General,on being introduced, tried to make a speech. It was evident that he had a little piecejcommitted to memory, but unfor tunately not very well committed. He halted and stuttered and stammered through a few dull paragraphs, the only notable utter ance being an assertion that he stood squarely upon the platform he had never read,and was in favor of the doctrinesofjexact justice and equality. The delegates sank into their seats disgusted,'and the outside crowd could not find a chance to cheer. It was evident to all that the candidate was not a man of ability ; only a very ordinary personage indeed. The whole Convention presented a decided and most unfavorable contrast to that which nominated Mr. Clymer; and by the work of Wednesday, the election of the gallant Statesman of “Old Berks” is rendered sure beyond a peradventure, if the conservative men of the State do their duty.

Address to Soldiers.— The Committee on Address of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union have issued the following : To the Honorably Discharged Soldiers and Sailors of the United States, residing in the City or County of Lancaster: Comrades! The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union of Lancaster invokes your consider ation of the purposes of its organization and cordially invites you to its member ship, and a co-operation in the pursuit of its objects. The war of the rebellion, now successfully closed, has returned us to the peaceful walks of civil life, to association with our fellow citizens, and to the performance of the same duties which demand their atten tion and efforts ; but it has also enveloped us with kiudred memories of the past and has charged us with duties to each other -to ourselves, to the victims of its vicissi tudes and to the principles whose fate hung on its issue. ° Service in the cause of our country is a tie which should hind in close union and fraternal fellowship, all who have in any degree contributed to the triumph of the national arms, and such union and fellow ship are imperatively required to adequate ly meet the duties which are now castupon us. * The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union has been organized with no purposes of personal ag grandizement or political action. Such ends and the means of their attainment have been most rigidly excluded from its fundamental provisions. It seeks to pro mote among its members that recognition of each other and that familiar friendship which common labors and sacrifices in the same noble cause should beget; to cherish in its own circle and to de mand from the community that appreciation ot the soldier and the sailor which shall secure to them a preference in the employ ments for which, as individuals, they may be fitted, their fair proportion of the offices in tho gift of the people, and a comfortable provision for its own suffering members or the widows or orphans of those who have •fallen m the country’s cause ; to collectsucb statistics as may serve to furnish the mili tary history of our county in the recent war and generally to advance every reasonable object in which is involved the interest or the pride of the soldier or tlie'Sailor These purposes, surely, will go to the heart of every soldier and sailor, but suc cess requires that solid unity of action which intimate organization alone can af ford, and on the other hand tho generous encouragement extended by the people of Lancaster county during the war to her patriotic sons in service, presents a cheer ing token that your organized and united eflort to help yourselves will be cheerfully and efficiently seconded. To this end The Union solicits such a membership as will entitle it to approach its labors and the public with the weight and authority, which the names and the number of the heroes of Lancaster countv have a;right to command. Any desired information as to the details of the organization, will be cheerfully af forded on application to any of the officers or members. BeDj. F. Baer, Jacob D. Gompf p I O Rourke, John H.

Keffer's Orchestra.— A grand ball was given in the State Capital, at Dover, Delaware, on the 22d of February, for which Keller's superb Orchestra of this city, the best in Pennsylvania, furnished To show what effect their sweet and inspir ing music had upon the people of Dover we quote with pleasure the following notice troin a communication, which appeared in the Dover Delawarean. “The dancers occupied the floor, without interruption, (excepting during the supper hour,) from ten in the evening until five in the morning, ‘Chasing the glowing hours with flying feet,’ to the bewitching music of Prof Keller’s Lancaster (Pa.) orchestra; and bewitching it was, truly, for, I assure you, such dulcet strains were never before heard in Dover but we hope often will he hereafter. The knowing ones say it was perfect, and I he lieve it was. Asa simple evidence of its superiority, it is merely necessary to say that tlie lobbies were crowded with delight ed listeners until the last ‘sett’ had left the floor m the morning, and the band were preparing to leave the room, an occurrence which I never before witnessed at any one of the many balls it has been my privilege to attend.” 6 Horrible Affair at Dowsixotowf One Man Killed by a Neoro, and An other WouNDED.-On Monday afternoon a sad affair occurred at the quiet borough of Downlngtown, Chester county, tlio particu lars of which, so far as we have been able to gather them by telegraph and other sources, are as follows: On. Monday after noon, about 3 o’clock, a negro, named Martin Ewing, who was drunk, went into the bar-room of the Pennsylvania Railroad House, kept by Mr. C. G. Swazy, formerly by Mr. Henry Eichholtz, and asked for a drink. The bar-keeper, Mr. John B. Mul len, told him that they did not sell liquor to people of his color, and beside that he had already, liquor enough. The negro there upon beoamo very angry, said that he had been a soldier and fought for his country and would have a’ drink. lie left’ went home, procured an army rifle’ came back and loaded it in front ot the hotel. Ho opened the door and took deliberate aim at Mr. Mullen’ seeing which that gentleman called to sev eral persons who were standing between the bar and door to stop him. A gentleman by the name of Christman, seeing the danger took hold of the bayonet of the gun to push it aside, when the negro fired, the ball cut ttng Mr. C’s. hand, and lodging in the leg of Mr. King, making a very bad wound and causing a great loss of blood. Dr. Leech and two other physicians were immediately called in, but their skillful treatment and attentions proved unavailing, and Mr. King died from the effects of the wound on Wednesday evening at 10 o’clock. The negro was disarmed, arrested and taken to the Chester County Jail at West Chester. The affair caused the greatest ex citement at Downington and in the immedi ate vicinity, and it was" almost impossible to prevent toe murderer being lynched on the spot. This la one 'of the the negro equality andsuffrag-e doctrine preach ed up by Thad. Stevens and -his followers. ~ Built)rsos.—-If properly-ap plied, whitewash : is one of the m nat. useful articles In the world, as it not only prevents the decay of wood, but promotes the health fulness of all buildings. Fences anri out buildings, if not painted, should be supplied as often as once or twice a year with a good coat of whitewash. Wefind in the Chemical Gazette i the following receipt for a good whitewash or a wash of different colors : “ Take a clean, water tight barrel, or other suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of Ume. Slack it by pouring water oyer it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quan ta V to cover it five inches deep, and Btir it bnskly till thoroughly slacked. When the the slacking has been effected, dissolve in water and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of common salt These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly appear • ance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be communicated to the above wash, by adding three pounds of 7' or a good pearl or lead color hy the addition oflamp, vine or ivory black. *, or i • co^or » four pounds umber— lurkish or American, the latter is the cheaper—one pound Indian red, and one fxiund common lampblack. For common color, add four pounds of raw umber, and two pounds lampblack. This wash be applied with a common whitewash brush, aud will be found much superior, both m appearance and durability, to Com mon whitewash.” The Managers of the Home, thankfully acknowledge the following: Christian Stultzfoos, Upper Leacock town ship, 2 bus. potatoes, 8 lbs sausage, and a pot of pudding meat; Jacob Bauekman, pot of pudding meat, and 18 tbs. sausage; John Brubaker, East Lampeter township, $3 ; a friend, East Lampeter township, 3 bus. cornmeal; Heury Eby, Upper Leacock township, 14 bus. potatoes, 2 pots pudding meat; a friend, Strasbnrg township, 4 bus. turnips; a friend, a basket of cabbage, and li bus. potatoes; Mrs. Geo.

J., whose Samburg Port Wines have achieved a world-wide reputa tion, has lor two or three years past been importing a superior article of pure Port brandy from the Castelia distillery of Por tugul, which lie is introducing in this coun try. The best way to test good wine and brandy is to drink it, and judging from some samples received from Mr. Speer, we unhesitatingly pronounce his manufacture oi wine and the brandy heimports to be ex cellent.

Coni (new) do . Oats do . Whiskey, per gallon Hiester Clymer. The Xew York papers all speak of Hiester Clyrner in terms which show an appreciation ofhisliighcharacter. Even the Tribune is compelled to admit his ability and the purity of his life. Being unable to bring any well sustained Charge against him, Republican news papers are compelled to resort to the State cry that he is a copperhead. In regard to this the New York World says : Hiester (’lymer is evidently a man who commauds universal esteem even among his political opponents. They may contrast him to advantage with the Camerons, the Forneys, and such like prominent men on their side. To offset the impression made by Mr. Clymer’s private virtues and public spirit, it is alleged by the Republican papers that, during the war, he was an outspoken “copperhead.” Letting the epithet “copperhead” pass for what it may mean it is a spent weapon. That blackguard epithet has been indiscrimi nately applied to all Democrats. Wheth er used as a description or as a libel, it was intended to define the position of those to whom it was applieu in respect to the late war. During the war, Mr. Clymer’s “copperheadism” consisted in intrepid pro tests against arbitrary arrests and illegal imprisonment; against con demnation without proof and punish ment without crime; against slopping newspapers by bayonets and suppress ing free speech. If the Republican party will say that these abuses are nut obsolete, the par ticular accusation they bring against Mr. Clymer will be pertinent, and they will find him just as resolute a “cop perhead” as ever. If the Republicans dare avow that they are for arbitrary arrests and false imprisonment, the Democrats of Pennsylvania, or any other State, are ready to meet them on that issue, and so far from attempting to disguise their “copperheadism,” they will put it forward as their most solid claim to public confidence. It is quite too late in the day for zealous advocacy of tlie habeas corpus and trial by jury of free speech and a free press, to be flouted against Democratic candidates for office with the expectation of harm ing them before the people. The Pennsylvania platform, on which Mr. Clymer stands, relates to the living issues of the day. It is open to no ob jections except such as naturally come from the enemies of President Johnson The Danger of Our Present Position, Congress is uncertain of its position its duties, its powers. It is full of a fac tious, restless, revolutionary spirit. It seems to have thrown away the old gov ernment—to have cut loose from the constitution. Great wars necessarily suspend the operation of law to a cer tain extent and justify the use of ex treme or doubtful powers ; but a wise legislature would lose no opportunity to relinquish a doubtful position that it had assumed, for the public good, and take once more its natural place in the circle of government. Congress, on the contrary, is determined not to relinquish the position that the war gave it. Its whole struggle is to hold that position, and to prevent, by everymeans, a return to the harmonious, quiet, natural opera tion of the old system. Its revolution ary disposition and purpose is most clearly seen in its propositions to change the constitution of the country Home thirty or forty amendments are befpre it which, if adopted, would completely do away with the system under which the United States have been so prosperous, and would change our government in nearly every feature Congress assumes that the constitution is a nullity. It ignores the constitutional distribution of powers. Ithas taken the position of the Supreme Court, to inter pret the constitution by party vote. It has made its Central Directory— its in famous Committee of Fifteen—an ex ecutive, to supersede the President. It has threatened to impeach him also. In all ways it assumes superiority to the law, and is not a Congress under the constitution, but a faction governing in defiance of that instrument. 6 It is from this very point in their his tory that free governments tumble into despotism. At some weak hour when forone cause or another, faction prevails and law is superseded, and faction daily grows worse till a political chaos seems imminent, then some strong hand seizes all, and an unscrupulous leader gains the confidence of the people by putting the factions under his foot and a'.httle later, in virtue of that very con fidence, puts liberty in the same place This is the history of a thousand repub lics taken from that very point in their career at which we now stand in ours The fall begins when faction super sedes the government and partisan passion takes the place of law This was the history of liberty in Rome, In France and in England. Faction made Rome ready for Cajsar, faction In the long parliament prepared the way for Cromwell, and faction in France made Napoleon inevitable. It is the same series of facts m every case. It is a law of national hie, and we will not be ex empt from it unless there is something in us different from all other flattens! Thepeojplearetheonly hope.'’They are certainly more Intelligent and more free, and their influence is more direct than in other countries. , Their, intelli gence, their patriotism and their " free dom is - what we must count upon for the hope that the factions will be put down by a power not inimical tojfreedom. by the voice of the whole people and not by an ambitious leader ready to be come a despot.— N. Y. Herald. When fii*e was openeduponFortSum ter, the first feeling that took possession of the country was that of utter aston ishment. The public mind was petrified with amazement. What! fire on the American flag? It was almost too much for credence. But when, amid the flashes of the booming guns, it was seen to be a terrible fact, there was a reaction: there came another feeliDg, and indig nation took the place of that dumb,- mental paralysis which existed a mo ment before. Then “from crag to crag leaped the live thunder.” Then were the great depths of the hearts of the American people- stirred as they had never before beenstirred since the cry of “To arms” had resounded -through the colonies at the spilling of the first blood at Concord, and the battle-cry of “Inde pendence” had re-echoed back till the land rocked like a cradle from New Hampshire to Georgia. At the magic words, “the Federal Union, it must be preserved,” parties lost their cohe sive power. and leaders that dared to whisper the faintest sound of Disunion in any of the Northern or Western States were blasted and whithered as if by some sudden judg ment of Heaven, and were carried out for dead. Voices from the invisible air seemed to re-echo the sentiment that the Union must be maintained and the revolt suppressed. No State had a right to secede ; no State could secede ex cept by consent of the rest. The power only that made could unmake. The people of the United States in conven tion assembled made the Government and the Union, and they only, actingin a similar capacity, could return them to their original elements. That was the short and simple platform upon which the whcieNorth and West rallied as one man to thesupport of the integrity of the Constitution, the indivisibility of the Government. Upon that platform, they waged a war of unexampled mag nitude, and fought battles and lost and gained victories enough to make the most thrilling history of modern times, a history that will be read and written athousandyearshence. Withthatgrand central idea ol the absolute unity of this country which wecall the United States the people of the North and West sub mitted to taxation and conscription ; submitted to martial law and the sus pension of the habeas corpus and trial by jury ; submitted to have their sons and brothers torn from them, to fall in battle, to sicken and die by hundreds ol thousands, to be maimed and crippled ; submitted to putou mourning ; submit ted, in a word, to everything except dis memberment for nearly five long,gloomy agonizing years. Well, the mortal con flict at last eiided ; the last shot was at length fired; the flag of the Republic waved triumphantly, and the Union was saved, iso it was said and thought and written and sung. Millions of voices and a delirium of delight, chanted Te Dcumin their hearts. The winds caught up the rapturous sounds and wafted them over the sea, and the reverbera tions went round and round the civilized world. The great Republic still lives it was declared, intact, with not a star erased, a unit grander, more glorious and powerful than ever before Foolish men that we have all been’ Why, we are now told that the Union was dissolved long ago, destroyed at the very time when all the people and the nations were shouting over its supposed triumph and its salvation! Secession is declared to have been a virtual, a real success. Eleven States sure enough went out of the Union, and are now out of it, and cannot come into it until Con gress admits them into it like so many new or old Territories. This doctrine was not announced suddenly and for nially by the new Junta of Revolution ists. It has been assumed rather than boldly proclaimed. The Revolutionists seem not to have had quite pluck enough for this. They didn’t opeu fire upon Sumter. They went to work sap ping and mining in the dark, thinking that, no doubt, the more prudent and the more successful wayofinaugurating the revolt. At first, the people couldn’t understand what they were about. The people couldn’t comprehend that they meant to announce the Union dissolved. touch a dogma was .incredible, almost inconceivable. What! the Union dis solved ajter the war; after all. that has been done to keep it from dissolving • after the loss on both sides of half a million oj lives ; after making as many widows and two or three times as many orphans; after -filling half the households in the laud with mourn ing; after piling up a debt, national and State, of more than three thousand million dollars; after all this massive misery, all these unprecedent ed exertions; after all, do you say that the Union has, in fact, been broken up? iou surely don't mean to say that! “Oh yes, we uo,” reply the Revolutionists; if you will force us to a categorical an swer, it does amount to just that and nothing more.” The people, we say were slow to believe in the possibility of such a position as that deliberately as sumed by men who had been proclaim ing the indivisibility of the Union : and it is not strange that they should have received the idea with incredulity and blank amazement—with emotions akin to those awakened by the bombardment m Charleston harbor. The blank astonishment, however—unless we are deceived in the indications ot popular sentiment—is giving way to another feeling,' a feeling of wide indignation at the unblushingim puuence and naked atrocity and treason of such a dogma and such a movement. Who placed the Congress of the United btates above the Constitution ? That instrument says "mew States may be admitted by the Congress;” but who gives it the right to expel old States or to declare that old States are expelled ° Ihe States of Virginia North Carolina’, *i? u /. ar °’ ln ?' anc * Georgia accepted the. Constitution and came into this union before a single member of the present Congress was born. What pow er took those States out of the - Union ? There was no provision made in the Constitution for their expulsion or for their going out. Wliat right has the Congress or Revolutionary Junta to de clare them out ? What authority is there in any department of the Government to override the Constitution and nut asunder what the people in 1787 and in the years following forever joined to gether . Ihe Constitution says that no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” By what high authority does the Congress or the Junta disregard this plain provision of the supreme law of the land that the members have solemnly sworn to obey and-sijpport? The two houses are de priving-ten States not only of “equal suffrage,” but of any suffrage at all in the Senate, and without their consent. len States have elected Senators, who ask for adihission to seats and are ready to be qualified as such. By what right we again ask, are they kept out in om position to the express and mandatory language of the Constitution ? Congress is not above the Constitution. It is not optional with its members to obey its behests or not as they please. The Con stitution says that “each house shall be j udge of the election returns and q ual lhcations of its own members.” Why dnsen’t each house then judge of these election returns and qualifications, and admit such members as are qualified and reject the others ? It is a moekerv and ah insult to the intelligence of the American people to say that to judge of the election returnsand qualifications” of [members of Congress means to ex clude the States from representation in Congress altogether. There is nopower in the State competent to do this with out trampling upon the plain provisions ana express language of the organic law. The assumption is a Revolution ary assumption. It is nothing more or less than a Revolt against the authority of the Constitution, a bold and insolent attempt to subvert.the Union. The Se cession Party in Congress and the North must be resisted and overthrown. It is treasonable. It tramples upon the:Con stitution, andisanew blow at the Union. The President declares that he will op pose this new Revolt, and every Uniom man in the country will support him. It is too late now to surrender our in heritance. It has cost too much to maintain it for that .-Louisville Journal. .$ u 25 ... 8 2o ..
