Henry Ward Reus her has always been regarded as one of the most brilliant luminaries of the Republican party. Ho was, indeed, one of its founders, and lie has talked, lectured, preached and written more for il than any other man in the country. His church in Brook lyn was one of the principal recruiting stations of the Kansas Kmigrant Aid Society, where preaching of the gospel was mingled with praises of Sharpe’s rifles and Dupont's powder. During the war, Mr. Beecher gave tone to the whole “ loyal” pulpit of the country. He had his clerical imitators in every city, town and village in the North, and through them lie exercised an inllueneeoverall their congregations. No other man in the Union, not even excepting Hoiace Greeley, had so large a share in moulding and intensifying the anti-slavery sentiment which de_ veloped itselfin the last liftecn years, II is appeals were addressed to the religi ous feelings and sentiments of earnest church members, a cPass who no doubt always reason conscientiously, hut still are not more apt than other people to reason aright. Upon these he made a strong impression, carrying them by thousands into the Republican ranks, and inspiring them with his own active'' zeal in the anti-slavery cause. Mr. Beecher having accomplished tlu* object he had so long and steadily kept in view and labored so earnestly to ef fect, the Abolition of Slavery, has cast out the spirit of hostility to the South that formerly seemed to animate him,, and is now advocating the policy of for giveness and conciliation. He lias writ ten a letter expressing his “ hearty wish for the success of all conventions, of what party soever, whose object is tlu* restoration of all the States late in re bellion to their Federal relations.” "We prii.’t this letter in anoLher column, and we venture to express the hope that it will be read by ail our Republi can preachers ami all their Republican parishioners, so that they may know the present views of tin; great political and religious teacher they have followed The Heads Falling. The work of decapitation is fairly be gun by the authorities at Washington, and radical heads by the scorearetumb ling into the basket. The President lias borne long and patiently with the faith lessness and treachery to the Union of the men who have been fattening on the spoils of ollicc for the past live years, but forbearance any longer would be faithlessness to the solemn obligations resting upon him to protect and defend the Union and the Constitution, lie lias accordingly commenced the good Work of reform, and we trust that he will not rest until a general purgation Is accomplished In every borough, city and county of this and other Common wealths. If the incumbents of otllce cannot or will not sustain the Kxceu tlve policy, hut persist in thwarting all his leading measures for the public good, then we conceive it to be his duty, lor the beM interests of the country, to romove them from positions of power and trust, and thus liuiitLhoiriulluenee for evil. Mr. Johnson will-be held re sponsible by the American people for the faithful performance of the high trust with which he lias been invested by their act and by the Constitution, and it is his bouuden duty to see to it that his subordinates in office sustain liim in carrying out the wishes of Uie people. We tire, therefore, gratified that the President has at length commenced the good work in earnest. It is what the people have long since desired, and he will he abundantly sustained. Let the Augean stable he thoroughly purged. Let the axe be vigorously applied until every disunionist is driven from place and power, and the whole country will applaud the act and say, "well done, thou gooil and faithful servant ” of the people, thy re ward will he in the warm-hearted af fections of a grateful and indulgent con stituency. Dean Richmond, one of the busiest po litical Lrieksters that ever plotted mischief, and a slunly supporter of “my policy,” died m New York yesterday, lie was an unscrupulous politician, a hard worker aL irautl, and the country at large sutlers no loss by his death. -The above is clipped from the Har risburg Telegraph, which is owued by that vile Hessian, George Bergner and edited by the unprincipled, sueaiting besotted blackguard and wretch, Wien Forney, who, for money, will thus de fame the memory of one of the most eminent und successful business men this country Ims ever produced. A more degrading specimen of muuhood than this Forney cannot be found upon the face of the earth, and a “ whip should be placed In every honest man’s hand to lash him naked round the world.” Mrs. Major Wllllamß, formerly Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, will not be.able to attend the ceremonies of laying thecor ner stone of the Douglas monument. The two Bons of the late Senator will be present. Blester Clymer. Our glorious candidate for Governor is vindicating the wisdom of the Con vention that put him in nomination. He is making the most thorough and the most brilliant canvass ever made in Pennsylvania. It is but two weeks since he opened the campaign at West Chester, and yet in this brief period his clarion voice has rang out the battle-cry of the Constitution and the Union along the Bhores of the Delaware, up the banks of the Susquehanna, on the top of the Alleghenies and in the vallies of the Youghiogheny and the Mononga hela. On Monday he spoke at Somer set, on Tuesday at Uniontown, on Wednesday at Waynesburg; and to day he speaks at Washington, to-mor row at Beaver, on the bank of the Ohio, and on Saturday at Newcastle. In this one week’s work we have a sample of all the rest. When It is remembered that tho points above mentioned are not connected by railroad, and that Mr. Clymer has to travel from thirty to fifty ; miles every day by private conveyance the magnitude of his self-imposed task will be appreciated. It might with reason be feared that a candidate who undertook to do so much speaking and so much traveliug, would break down before the end of the campaign. Even those best acquainted with Clymer’s mental and physical powers of endurance—those who best knew what he had the courage to at tempt and the ability to perform—-were not without anxiety when they read over his unparalleled list of appoint ments. But the result thus far indicates that C'lymer’s confidence in his own ability to perform this prodigious labor was not misplaced. Our advices from the points he has spoken at represent him as going through with his work triumphantly. He is speaking with great power to large assemblages of hi 8 fellow-citizens. His arguments are sinking deej) in the public mind, and his eloquence is stirring up a degree of enthusiasm such as has not been wit nessed formauy years in Western Penn sylvania. Go on, noble champion of the Right j Your reward will be a great common wealth redeemed from the rule of the corrupt and the imbecile, and a glorious Union rescued from the deadliest peril. The Lancaster County Appointments. The following Federal appointments for Lancaster County are announced : Jay ('ADWKf.r., Esq,, to be Postmaster of tins City rice John .1. Cochran, Esq., remov ed. Mattiikw M. Stuh’Kl.kr, Esq., Colum l>i;i, lo he Collector of Internal Revenue for this'District, vice Alex. JI. Hood, Esq., re moved. Davis A. Buow.v, Esq., of Fulton twp., to lie Assessor of Revenue, vice J. K. Alex ander, Esq., removed. These gentlemen are all Johnson Re publiejuisand warmly supportthemeas ures and restoration policy of the Ex ecutive. We think they will make effi cient, courteous aud obliging officers. The out* are, and always have been, devoted friends of Thaddeus Stevens- They had, therefore, no mercy to expect from President Johnson. The appointees were all applicants for the positions .assigned them, and this ‘stamps with infamy the falsehood so industriously circulated by the Radical • press of this city that these offices 14 went a begging,"and t.hat prominent Republi cans were importuned to take them, but indignantly spurned thepiofiered bribe. The truth of the matter is, that these lucrativp offices were eagerly sought for by several aspirants, and the attempt was made by certain prominent indi viduals'in this city to obtain them uu der the false pretence of being Johnson men, when it is well known that they are Radicals of the worst stamp, and will continue, as they have done in the past, to act and vote with IStevens and lii.s faction. Keep Cool. Tlie ltadical Abolition press of this <• i13- are in a terrible stew about tile l'e moval of Messrs. Cuclirau, Hood and Alexander, and are saying ail manner of naughty tilings about Messrs. Cad well, Striekler and Brown, the new ap pointees to the Federal offices. Softly, gentle sirs, these troubles will occasion ally spring up in the best regulated families; and if President Johnson chooses to put out llepublicuns of the Tliad. .Stevensstripe, and put in Repub licans of his own way of thiuking, we do not see why anybody should have reason to complain. The three decapi ated gentlemen will have to hear the loss of their official heads with as much philosophy as possible, and us to their successors, we have no doubt the public will he quite as well served in the future as it lias been In the past four or five years. We trust, therefore, thatourcon temporarics will save their breath to cool their porridge, and no longer waste it upon tlie desert air. The deed is done, and cannot be undone by all the bluster and abuse of our neighbors. It was consummated by tlie President of their own choice, and they should exhibit a diHorent spirit than tlie one they have been doing for a day or two past, and not vent their spleen also at the Demo crats who had neither lot nor partin bringing about tlie rupture in the Re publican party. Tlio lilitli Congress. Tlie licentious extravagance of this body exceeds any filing tliat over dis graced the history of tlie American Re public. It is hard to determine which of its jolis ami prolligulouets Is the worst. Tlie Boston l'<ml thinks that tlie small est tiling it lid was striking out tlie moderate sum proposed for repairs and furnishing of I In- “resident's house, to show their spite and malignity towards tlie present occupant. They took good care, however, to unconstitutionally ad vance their own pny sixty-six per cent, over what they had agreed to serve their constituents for when they were elect ed, to date hack from tlie commence ment of tlie session. More barefaced robbery of tlie public treasury wasuever known in any civilized country, ami yet these hold peculators and dishonest ■scoundrels have tlie unblushing impu dencc to go before the people and ask their constituents to sustain them ! Could bra/.en-iaeed citron tery go farther? Corn cues Wexm:,.,,, t l lc > corrupt, dis lonesL and unprincipled p„l., Uu printer of the Bucn,man Administration, lias been appointed to the same position b v UioWilkns Booth President.—iieUfioo/ .l.nlrmU Tlie Radical papers lie in small things as well as in great. Wendell lias been appointed Superintendent of Public Printing, an oiliee lie did not hold un der tlie Buchanan Administration. Mr. Bucliauan’s first' Superintendent of Printing was General Bowman, who resigned tlie office after holding it two or three years, on being elected pri liter to the United Stutus Senate; and ills second ami hist was John Heart, who succeeded Bowman und held the office till the'close of Mr. Buchanan’s Ad ministration. Wo bolieve there was no public prin ter, properly so called, in Washington during Mr. Buchanan’s Administration. Bach house of Congress elected its own printer, and the Executive department .bestowed their printing upon whom they pleased. There is no publicprlnter in Washington now. The Government owns the Printing Office and pays all employed In it, from the Superintend ent down to the “ devil,” Wonder what Ue the Journal will tell next. “The Light Brigade.” Forney sports the title of Coionel, which heiß very fond of printing before his name in the Press. We suppose it indicates his rank in the “Bread and Butter Brigade.” He has been in that branch of the public service about long enough to have attained a Colonelcy under the army regulation of promotion accordingtoseniority. Governor Porter dried up his tears by giving him an ap pointment iu the “Bread and Butter Brigade” about twenty-five years ago, and he has been recognized as a rising member ever since. He was promoted during Polk’s administration, and hav ing distinguished himself as a great swallower, he was advanced several grades between the years 1850 and 1856. But it was not till 1861, when the break ing out of the war opened up great op portunities to the “Bread and Butter Brigade,” that Forney won his spurs as Colonel of that interesting and patriotic organization. At present he is ranked by Ben. Butler and Nat. Banks, but he will be a full General yet if the Radical boat holds iu and the “Bread and But ter” holds out. Tennyson, the English Poet Laureate, has immortalized the “Light Brigade” of Lord Cardigan. Let Boker, t.he Poet Laureate of the Loyal League, try his hand at the “Light Bread Brigade” of Col. Forney. Any Other Same but That! You may call Satan a Saint; call sun shine a shadow ; call a mule a horse or a cow ; call Bin-son Brownlow a Chris tian ; call Brigham Young a virtuous old bacheloi ; call Auna Dickinson an accomplished woman; call the moon a fat cheese and the stars candle dips; call the Rocky mountains a mole-hill; call a nigger a blonde; call an eagle a dunghill rooster, or the Phicnix a crow • call black white and white black; but do not, we pray our political opponents, insultcommon sense and deform mother tongue by calling the political organiza tion, led by Stevens, Sumner & Co., and which contains all the secessionists and disuniouists in the country, and which is persisteutly endeavoring to disrupt and bankrupt the Federal Government, A Union Party. The people can stand any tiling but that. Their intel ligence will revolt at this worse than sacrilegious attempt to appropriate a good name to a foul and unmitigated deception. The old poet has well said : ” When the Devil gut sick the Devil u Monk would he. When tho Devil got well tho Dev il a Monk was he." The True Reason The Radicals pretend that if the Southern members of Congress take their seats lin y will do something very detrimental to the Union. We should like to know how they can do it, even if they were so disposed ? They are only sixty-six in number, ugainst one hundred and seventy from the so-called loyal States. This is in the House of Representatives. In the United States Senate, they would have but twenty two members out of Seventy-two. They would Ue less than one-third in the Senate and but little more in the House. But, say the Radicals, they will join the Democrats of the North, and so makeamajority! Here, then, is the rub. This is the fear: that a majority of the American people—North aud South— will govern the country in the future! A minority must rule to prevent it. This, narrowed down, is the sole reason why the Radical Disuniouists are so desperately bent upon excluding the South. It is because they think it would endanger their partisan supre macy, and not because they have any regard whatever for the prosperity of the country. All their measures have had no other motive than this : to per petuate their minority and unconstitu tional rule by any means, however foul and destructive. Ucrks County We have already referred with appro bation to the nomination of our valued friend J. Lawreuce Getz for Congress in Berks County, and we cordially en dorse the following from tlie Age in re lation to tlie Legislative ticket formed by the same Convention : 'Pile Bi'inocracy of Berks County prescnL a strong legislative (irkei this fall, llenry B.

The late action of tlie Radical Mayor and C6uncils of our city, Hays the Age in refusing to extend the hospitalities of the corporation to the President of the United States, has produced a decided impression among business men not only here, but in other partaof the State. In order to show wlmt effect Radicalism is having upon tlie business and trade of this city, we publish one out of the many letters received at this olllce from prominent merchants and manufac* turers, upon this subject: Philadelphia, Sept. I, isiiii. To the Editors nf the Age. Gentlemen ; Unclosed we hand you a copy of a letter received this morning from one of our customers, (u large clothing dealer m Harrisburg.) We received similar letters from other merchants Smith and West, but as this is from our own State itwili givoour business ineiwin idea of the way of tho late action of our auihorilies, unil'of (lie mer chants who placed them 1 here, arc looked upon by parties, eomiug KaS to buy good*-. Yoiirw, truly. 11 MtuiMit/lU), Aug. :U, IBlk>. Gentlemen.: Why don’t you hurry up my goods. Send them upon receipt of this let ter, as I need them very badly. 1 am sorry that your City Pothers be haved so badly upon the reeeptiou of tho President. Mr. K —, a member of the firm of one of the largest dry goods houses in your city, was up hero on Wednesday, and told our merchants that the'way Councils and the Mayor behaved will hurt his busi ness 4f> per cent, with Southern trade, that the most of his best customers have gode to New York on that account. I have heard several of our prominent clothiers doetaro that they will not buy an article in your city herealter. I am very sorry for my Democratic friends who are in the clothing business, hut tho innocent must sufTor with the guilty. The trains for New York over the Rending road aro crowded with mer chants from tho West and South. I meet a great many at the hotel near the depot whore lam boarding. They say Philadel phia has behaved so badly duriug the last two years, und the into action of your ofii cials is a direct iusult to any Union man, and that they cannot patronize you any more. Yours truly, 1,. R. (Jetting Frightened, “ JO very vote gotten from tho Union ranks for (Jlymer counts as two. Ten thousand weak-kneed Republicans bought over will be u guin of twenty thousand for Ciymer, and might turn the seulo.” Tho above extract is clipped from the JirpreaH (if last evening. Our neighbor i« evidently becoming frightened at the desertion from the ranks of the Radi cals Yoh, tlie scale will ho turned, Ciymer will 1,0 elected, and J’ennsyl vania, long misgoverned und misruled by the demagogue and disunionist, Curtin, again take lior position in the frontrank of a restored Union.

Johnson, having through the act of an assassin come into the control of the government of offices, shamelessly offers them to any who will desert the Union cause, and support him in betraying it.”— Gazette. This is a mistake, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. Johnson came in by a special act of Providence and Parson Brownlow. For proof of the agency of the former, see the sermons of Revs* Thompson and Mayo on the occasion, which the Gazette can consult upon its own files ; and for that of the latter, see Address of the Governor of Tennessee in the Gazette of yesterday. That the Rev. Brownlow was a chosen vessel in the hands of Providenee to bring Mr. Johnson before the Convention at Bal timore, none will dispute who are able to comprehend the beauties of his char acter ; and if Mr. Booth—or whoever he might be—put forth his hand to give a gentle impetus to the progress of events, the acceptance, in high ecclesiastical and loyal quarters, of his agency as a providential work, will go far to elimi nate the human ingredient from the re sult. It is equally a mistake, the assertion that Mr. Johnson is offering the offices to those who will desert the Union cause. Mr. Johnson andhisimmediate followers represent all the Unionism there is in the Republican party. The Republican party cast down its Union ism after the last Congressional elec tion ; and if Air. Johnson is employing the magnet of the appointing power to withdraw that element from a place where it was simply dead matter, and restore it to the condition of a vital force, certainly not those who raised the appointing power to a paramount engine in the [State have a right plain. It is wonderful what a revolution has taken place in Republican opinion. Scarcely more than a year ago we were being consoled for the removal of Mr. Lincolp, with the idea that he had fin ished his work ; that a fresh hand was needed to take up the job in which he had begun to falter, and carry it forward with a more vigorous and less scrupu lous hand to the desired consummation ; and in that aspect, the hand of Provi dence was plainly discerned, overruling for his removal. Then nothing so be nign in its operation, nothing so safe, nothing so truly Republican, as the power of appointment. It was a palla dium, a panacea for all political ills, a bulwark of liberty, But things change, and we change with them. Another of Forney's Lies Nailed, When John W. Forney, with his hawk-eye fixed upon the rich pickings of the New York Custom House, sought to wheedle President Johnson into the appointment of hi* candidate for Col lector, he referred to his “ two news papers, both daily, published in Phila delphia and Washington.” He was willing aud even anxious to give the President’s policy the support of these “two newspapers, both daily,” in ex change for the appointment of a Collec tor who would share the profits, legiti mate and illegitimate, of the New York Custom House, with the “Colonel” of the crack Regiment of the Radical “Bread and Butter Brigade.” The bid was not accepted ; aud ever since its re jection, these “two newspapers, botli daily,’’have been reeking with the lowest and meanest falsehoods about the Pres ident and the Executive departments. Their lies, though not lacking in malice and wickedness, are of alowand trifling order, such as any half-witted fellow with sufficient depravity might invent. Think of a candidate for the United states Senate employing his timein the invention of such falsehoods as the one exposed in the following communica tion : Kdilors Sational Intelligencer: As sup porters and defenders of the great cause of a restored nationality, which is now en gaged in ii death struggle with Radical fa naticism, 1 respectfully invito your atten tion to the following mendacious falsehood which appeared in the columns of that re ceptacle of all political filth, the f'hmuirjc f in its issue of the hoth instant : A llkiumt. On Monday a member of the Johnson Depsu tmeutul Club approached a clerk in the Second Auditor'sofllce. with a doc ument selling forth the signer’s allowance to “my policy. - Tne.Johnson Mcnairy suggests to the clerk—formerly a gallant soulim— that it. would be to ins imerest to sign said paper. The document was examined, aud before the astounded Juhnsoulte could recover him self his paper was torn lo pieces, and he himself found his exit accelerated by the boot of the iudtguadt loyali-l, who more forcibly than poll iMy told the “bread-and-butter" sneak (hat ho (the Radical) had made his re cord at Gettysburg, ami Andrew Johnson could find out what it was without sending any d—d sneak to ask questions. The above paragraph, which has not the least foundation in truth, is evidently in tended lo cast reproach on the “Johnson Departmental Club," of which 1 have the honor of being president, and by virtue of my official relation to that organization 1 hereby pronounce it a deliberate and wicked lie, and challenge tlie author of it lo name either tiio belligerent radical or “aslouudod JohiiHonilo.” lam myself a clerk in the Second Auditor’s oiliee, and know whereof I speak. It appears to mo most likely that tiic article in question is tho effusion of some cowardly Radical, who would delight in such an act did ho possess the requisite courage, but lacking in that, has resorted to what he is more skilled im -the manufacture olTie.s. Tho “Johnson Departmental Club” has by its activity and energy aroused the venom of these patriots par excellence, aud they dread its power ; hut for their conso lation I cun assure them that it does not in dulge in threats against its enemies, but. when it is ready to act, strikes buldlv ami fearlessly, as many of these Chronicle wor thies may soon have cause lo know. Thomas B. Kaliuts, President of Johnson Departmental Club. The President aud General Grant No one cun doubt where (tenoral Grant in in the present political con test for tlie Union, after reading tlie following extract from tiio President's address at tho dinner ut Delmonico's, in New York. The President Hays : Wo have in l lie West a game called ham mer and anvil, and anvil und hummer, and while Davis and odium arc talking about separation in the South, there was another class, Phillips, damson, and men of thnt kiud, who wore talking about dissolution in tho North; and of thoso extremes one was the hammer and tho other tho anvil, and when tho robellion broke out ono ex treme was carrying it out, and now that it is suppressed the other class are still trying to give it lifo and effect. I fought those in the South who commenced tho rebellion, and now I oppose those in the North who are trying to break up the Union. [Cheers.] lam for the Union. lam agaiust ail those who are opposed to tho Union. [Great ap plause.] 1 Hin for the Union, the whole Union, and nothing but tho Union. [Ke nowed cheering.] I have helped my dis tinguished friend on my right, General Grant, to fight the rebels South, and I must not forget a peculiar phrase that he was going to fight it out on that line. [Applause und laughter.] I was with him, aud I did all that I could; and when wo whipped them at one end of the line, I want to say to you that I am for whipping them at the other end of the line. [Great laughter and ap plause.] I thank God that ho is not in the field, militarily speaking, but that be is civilly in the field now, helping me to flght.it oat on the other end of the line. Now, with such men as Grant, Sher man, and Farrngut on our side, **ve may well dispense with Butler, Geary, Owens, and many others of that politi cal Htripe. The Difference, Would not every workingman—labor er and artisan—like to vote himself seventeen months back pay, and in creased sixty per cent, attkat? That Is what this Radical Congress lias done. And, what iw more, every workingman —every laborer aud artisan—will have to puy his share of tho tax required to make up thin extra compensation. How do you like it, fellow-citizens?

The Spirit of the South, The Radicals aim to break the spirit of the Southern people by compelling them to wear the badge of conquest. The frequent attempts at revolution in Poland and Ireland show* what a hard task that Government takes upon itself which seeks to crush out the spirit of a people who once were free. But if the task were easy in the case of the South ern people, would its performance be desirable? Those people number one third of the whole white population of the United States. The gigantic war they carried on for four years against a section populated by double their own number ofinhabitants,shows what they are capable of performing when aroused and united. To make them feel still further the power of the general Gov ernment, now that they have ceased to resist its authority, is not only to invite but to compel them to hate it. That is not the part of wisdom. It is folly of tbe insanest sort; and when practiced by the rulers of othernations, all Amer icans have joined in denouncing it as foolish and criminal in the highest de gree. Can what is foolish and criminal when practiced by others be wise and commendable when practiced by our selves? With Great Britain exercising sway over the northern half of the continent of North America and Spain holding the key to the Gulf of Mexico, the United States arc never free from the danger of a foreign war. Somesquabble ou our Northern frontier, perhaps trilling in itself, but inflaming national auimosities, or some aggression by inso lent Spanish officials upon our com merce iu Cuban waters, might compel us, unexpectedly and without previous preparation, to appeal to arms. Indeed the late news from England by the Atlantic cubic, dated at Loudon on the 30th of August aud published in yes terday’s papers, states that “ the Cana dian Government has asked, the home government to send more troops to Canada, owing to an apprehended trouble with (he United States, growing out of the expected P'enian invasion and the modification of the neutrality laws of the United States.” It is farther stated that the English Government has decided to send more troops to Can ada. He must be a very young man who does not remember more than one occasion when it required skilful hand ling of tho diplomatic reins to avoid a collision between the United States and England. The latest Mexican news also suggests the possibility of a rupture between France and theUuited States. The Em press of Mexico, who a short time ago undertook a pilgrimage to Paris, is re ported as having succeeded in inducing Napoleon to order u prolongation of the time fixed for the departure of the French troops from Mexico. It is also rumored that French vessels of war will be sent to,Matamoras to enforce the blockade ordered by Maximilian. This is the blockade recently declared null and void by a proclamation from President Job n sou. Anyattempton the partof France to enforce it will undoubtedly be resisted by the United States. It is not charging them with too much to say that the Radicals are re sponsible for the chauged aspect of Franco-Mexican affairs. When our civil war ended and we seemed on the point of becoming again a united and harmonious people, the French Emper or made haste tu assure our government that he would withdraw his troops from Mexico. But the Radicals having adopted a policy which has not only preventeda cordial re-union, but threat ens to inaugurate another civil war, Napoleon lias been emboldened to vio late his engagement with our govern ment about the withdrawal of his troops, aud is even, it appears, contemplating tne enforcement of Maximilian’s “paper blockade” of Mexican ports on the bor ders of the United States. "With such dangers threatening us, would it not be the height of folly for us to keep one-third of our country in the condition of a hostile camp? Is it not better to have the Southern people for us than against us? If it took tls four longand bloody years to whip them alone and unaided, with their ports sealed up from the commerce of all the world, how long would it take us to go successfully through a war with such a gigantic military and naval power as Kuglaud, with these Southern people on her side ? The question is important and a true answer to it might he start ling. Laying aside, therefore, the higher view of our duty as a Christian people, and coming down to our mere worldly interests as a nation, it is plain that the safest course for us to pursue is to heal lip this sectional breach with all possi ble celerity. The Democratic and con servative Republican policy, if adopted by Cougress, would heal it up at once and enable us to present a united front against any foreign foe who might as sail us, whilst the sure effect of the Radical policy would be to make the Southern people iudifferent spectators of auy struggle in which wo might be en gaged, if not our active enemies. H would be mere mockery to appeal to the patriotism of people whose right of rep resentation hud been taken away. Let the Northern people give this matter their serious consideration. *■ The Maine Canvass. The Maine canvass begins to look more hopeful. The Democrats are carrying on the war vigorously, and their moetiugs are crowded and outhu. siastic. Their efforts are beginning to tell also, an evidence of which is to be found in tie* fa(*t thattheHunger Timex, an old Republican concern, has recant ed its heresies, taken down General Chamberlain’s name from the head of its columns, and substituted that of Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, the Democratic candidate. Fu making the change the Timex says: The proprietor of the Timex to-day withdraws the name of General Cham berlain from the head of his columns, and thus performs a duty which he has, perhaps, too loDg delayed. It has been evident for some time that the expecta tions of liberal men, in respect to the results of General Chamberlain’s elec tion as Governor, were to be disappoin ted. It has become certain that that eveut, instead of weakening the hold upon political power of the men wno have so long abused the confidence of the people of Maine, will onlystrength en and confirm it. • Under all the circumstances, the pro prietor of this paper believes it to be the duty of all whosupportthe patriotic Union policy of President Johnson to vote for the Hon. E. F. Pillsbury for Governor. In no other way can their voice be made practically effective. Good for Maine. The Age has this week twice alluded to Hurgeon Foltz, United States Navy, as one of the members of the Philadel phia Union League, which lately passed strong resolutions denouncing the Pres ident. In this we are informed the Age has not displayed its wonted accu racy of statement. If it had made In quiry, it would have ascertained that Dr. Foltz is a warm admirer of the Presi dent’s policy, and that he is no longer a member of the League, having resign ed from it because of the passage of the resolution referred to. National Restoration Interestliig and Important Letter from Henry Ward Beecher. Letter of Invitation from the Special Committee of the Soldiers’ and Sailors* Convention, to be Held at Cleveland, uhlo, Sept. 17. New York, Wednesday, Ang. 28, '66. To Rev, Henry Ward Becchcr: Dear and Reverend Sir: The under signed have been appointed by the Execu tive Committee of the National Convention of Soldiers and Sailors, who honorably served during the late war for the Union, as a Special Committee to wait upon you, and request your consent to serve as Chap lain of the Convention, which will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 17th of next month. Your name has been selected by the Ex ecutive Committee from sincere admiration of your character, and as the only tribute within their power to pay in acknowledg ment of your noble devotion to the cause of the Union, aud your earnest and unceasing efforts in behalf of our soldiers aud sailors during the recent war. The Executive Committee also And in your course since the termination of the struggle, substantial harmony with the views to which they desire to give effect in the Convention —your eloquence and the just weight of your name being employed to enforce upon the oouutryu generous and magnanimous policy toward the people of the lately rebellious Slates, and a prompt reconstruction ot the Union under the Con stitution as the best means of regaining the national tranquility which the country so much needs, and re-adjustiug the right’s of all sections, under the new order of things, on a basis of law, order, Christiau brother hood and justice. In the call for the Convention, which the undersigned have the honor to transmit herewith, you will soo fully set forth the motives which acuute the military aud naval defenders of the Union in their pres ent unusual course of taking part in a poli tical movement; and it is our hope, as we have always looked to you in the darkest days of the war for inspiration, aid and the cheering sympathy of a noble heart—never failing to find them—that you will consent to iuvoke the Divine Blessing upon the Convention of the Soldiers and Sailors of the I'nited States who served during the late rebellion and who approve the restora tion policy of President Johnson and the principles announced by the recent Nation al Convention of Philadelphia—the first Convention since 18(50 injvhiohall the Suites of our beloved represented. Hoping an early mid favorably reply, we have the honor to b\ with very profound respect for your character, and sincere gra titude for your powerful and generous ef forts in behalf of the military and naval ser vants ol the country during the late war, Your obedient friends and servants, Hai.I'INK, Brevetßrig.-Gen, Chairman. H. \\\ Sloi.tm, Major General, Gordon Granger, Major General, KEY, HENRY WARD iJKECHKR’S REPLY Pkkkskill, Thursday Aug. 30, ’O(5. Huirlcs G. Hulpinc , Brevet Brigadier Gen eral: 11. M\ Slocum, Major General; Gordon (Inuigcr, Major General, tcc : (rcnt/.cnif n : 1 am obliged to you for the invitation which you have made to me to act as Chaplain to the Convention of Sailors and Soldiers about to convene at Cleveland. I eaunot attend it, but I heartily wish it and all other conven tions, of what party soever, success, whose object is the restoration of all the States late in rebellion to their Federal relations. Our theory of Government has no place for a State except in the Union. It is justly taken for granted that the duties and responsibilities of a State in Federal relations tend to its political health, and tcT : hat of the whole nation. Even Territories are hastily brougbtiu, often before the prescribed conditions are fulfilled, as if it were dangerous to leave a community outside of the great body politic. liad the loyal Seuatorsaud Represen tatives of Tennessee been admitted at once on the assembling ofCongress, and in moderate succession, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia, the public mind of the South would have been far more healthy than it is, anil those States which lingeredon inprobation to the last would have been under a more salutary influence to good conduct than if a dozen armies watched over them. Every month that we delay this healthful step complicates the case. The excluded population, enough un settled before, grows more irritable: the army becomes indispensible to local government, and supersedes it; the Government at Washington is called to interfere in one and another difficulty, and this will bedoneinaptly,andsome times with great injustice—for our Gov ernment, wisely adapted to its own proper functions, is utterly devoid of those habits, and unequipped with the instruments which lit a centralized government to exercise authority in remote States over local affairs. Every attempt to perform such duties has re sulted in mistakes which have excited the nation. But whatever imprudence there may be in the method, the real criticism should be against the requisi tion of such duties of the general Gov ern ment. The Federal Government is unfit to exercise minor police and local govern ment,and will inevitably blunder when it attempts it. To keep a half score of States under Federal authority, but without national ties and responsibili ties ; to oblige the central authority to govern half the territory of the Union by Federal civil officers and by the army, is a policy not only uncongenial to our ideas and principles, but pre eminently dangerous to the spirit of our Government. However humane the ends sought and the motives, it is, in fact, a course of instruction, preparing our Government to be despotic, and familiarizing the people to a stretch of authority which can never he other than dangerous to liberty. I am aware that good men are with held from mlvocating the prompt aud successive admission ofthe exiled States by the fear, chiefly, of its effect upon parties and upon freed men. f t is said that if admitted to Congress, the Southern Senators and Representa tives will coalesce with Northern Dem ocrats and rule the country. Is this nation, then, to remaiu dismembered to serve the ends of parties ? Have we learned no wisdom by of the last ten years, in which just this course of sacrificing the nation to the exigen cies of parties plunged us Into rebellion and war?- Even admit that the power would pass into the hands of a party made up of Southern men, and the hitherto dis honored und misled Democracy of the North, that powor could not be UHed just as they pleased. The war has changed, not alone institutions, but ideas. The whole country has advanced. Public sentiment is exalted far beyond what it has been at any former period. A new party would, like a river, be obliged to seek its channels in the al ready existing slopes and forms of the continent. We have entered a new era ofliberty. The style of thought is freer and more noble. The young men of our times are regenerated. The great army has been a school, and hundreds of thou sands of men are gone home to preach a truer and nobler view of human rights. Ail the industrial interests of society are moving with increased wis dom toward intelligence and liberty. Everywhere, in churches, in literature, in natural scleuces, in physical indus tries, in social questions, as well as in politics, the nation feels that the Winter is over and a new Knring hangs iu the horizon and works through all the ele ments. Iu this happily changed and advanced condition of things no party of tiie retrogade can maintain itself. Everything marches aud parties must inarch. I hear with wonder and shame and scorn the fear of a few that the South once more in adjustment with tiie Federal Government will rule this nation ! The North is rich —never so rich ; the South is poor never before so poor. The population of the North is nearly double that of the South. The industry of the North, in diversity, in forwardness and productiveness, in all the machinery and education required for manufacturing, is half a century in advance of the South. Churches in the North crown every hill, and schools swarm in every neigborhood; while the South has but scattered lights, at long distances, iikk light-houses twink ling along the edge of a continent of darkness. In the presence of such a contrast, how mean and craven is the fear that the South will rule the policy of the land ! That it will have an in fluence, that it will contribute, in time, most important influences or restraints, we are glad to believe. But if it rises at once to the control of the government it will because the North, demoralized by prosperity, and besotted by groveling interests, refuses to discharge ita share of political duty. In such a case the South not only will control the Gov ernment, but It ought to do it. 2. It Is feared, with more reason, that the restoration of the South to her full independence will be detrimental to the freeamen. The sooner we dismiss from our minds the idea that the freedmen can be classified, and separated from the white population, and nursed and de fended by themselves, the better it will be for them and us. The negro is part and parcel of Southern society. He can not be prosperous while it is unpros pered. Its evils will rebound upon him. Its happiness and reinvigoration cannot be kept from his participation. The restoration of the South to amicable re lations with the North, the reorganiza tion of its industry, the reinspiration of its enterprise and thrift will all redound to the freedmen’s benefit. Nothing is so dangerous to the freedmen as an un settled state of society in the South. On him comes all the spite and anger and caprice aud revenge. He will be made thescapegoat of lawless and heart less meu. Unless we turn the Govern ment Into avast military machine there cannot be armies enough to protect the freedmen while Southern society re mains Insurrectionary. If Southern society is calmed, settled, andoccupied, and soothed, with new hopes aud pros perous Industries, no armies will be needed. Riots will subside, lawless hangers ou will be driven off’ or better governed, and a way will be gradually opeued up to the freedman, through ed ucation and industry, to full citizen ship, with all its honors and duties. Civilization is a growth. None can escape that forty years in the wilder ness who travel from the Egypt of Ignorance to the promised land of civil ization. The freedmen must take their march. 1 have full faith iu the results. If they have the stamina to undergo the hardships which every uncivilized people has undergone in their upward progress, they will iu due time take their place among us. That place can not be bought, nor bequeathed, nor gaiued by slight of hand. It will come to sobriety, vii tue, industry and frugali ty. As the nation canuot be sound until the South is prosperous, so, on the other extreme, a healthy condition of civil society in the South is indispensa ble to the welfare of the freedmeu. Refusing to admit loyal Senators aud Representatives from the South to Con gress will not help the freedmen. It will not secure for them the vote. It will not protect them. It will not secure any amendment of our Constitution, however just ami wise. It will only in crease the dangers and complicate the difficulties. Whether we regard the whole nation, or auy section of it or class in it, the first demand of our time is, entire reunion ! Once uuited, we can, by schools, churches, a free press ami increasing free speech, attack each evil aud secure every good. Committee. Meanwhile, the great chasm which rebellion made is not filled tiik it grows deeper wider! Out of it rise dread ?spectres and threatening sounds. Let that gulf be closed, und bury in it Slavery, sectionul animosity aud all strifes and liatreds ! It is fit that the brave men, who, on sea and land, faced death to save the nation, should now, by their voice and vote, consummate what their swords rendered possible. For the sake of the freedman, for the sake of the South and its millions of our fellow-couu try men, for our own sake, aud for the great cause of freedom ami civilization. 1 urge the immediate re union of all the parts which rebellion and war have shattered. I am truly yours, Henry Ward Bkkciiku The Intimidation Game. BugiiN Deserter Lists in Preparation. We understand that the Disunion managers have given orders to the .State printers that they must have the lists of Deserters and Non-reporting Drafted meu ready for distribution in two weeks. The printers are accordingly working day and night to get them done. Some time ago we stated that the regiments were estimated to average about 130 de serters and uon-reportiug drafted men, which would make the aggregate upon the lists about 30,000. We are told, now, that the aggregate will reach nearly six ty thousand ! There is strong reason to believe this, from the fact that the lists have been in the hands of the prin ters long enough to have been printed weeks ago —if containing no more than 30,000. Even though there may beOU,OOO. time enough has elapsed to have had them printed now and ready for distri bution. We believe the delay to be in tentional —designed to give, the accust d no time to prepare proof and hunt up witnesses ! But there is a more serious rumor abroad. It is said that, since the lists were first prepared, there have been added the, names of thousands of Demo crats who were never in service , and were never drafted! Bixty thousand names would be one-sixth of all (he Penn sylvania soldiers in service during the whole war. It is not possible that one soldier out of every six deserted from service. Nor is it probable that there was one deserter for every twelve, men. The names of persous who were never in service have been added principally in localities where Disunion election officers fireside , so that, unless the ac cused may be able to furnish proof, at a moment’s notice, that they were never in service, their voles ran b< njected! The mere publication of such names upon the lists, it is calculated, will se cure the election officers from punish ment afterwards. Then* is but little doubt that this desperate Disunion game is going on. The delay in, the preparation and distribution of the lists is strong proof of the fact / To checkmate this desperate gumo of Disunionists, we hope Mr. Wallace, Chairmau of the State Central Com mittee will at once issue a circular to the election ojjiccrs, defining their powers and duties under the election taws of the State, AND WARNING THEM AGAINST REJECTING THE MALLOT OF ANY MAN whose name may he ujion (hose lists, no matter whether he be a Deserter, reporting Conscript or not! We hope that lie will also instruct the people to secure witnesses against all eleection of ficers who may reject such ballots, and assure all who may suffer disfranchise ment in that way that the Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylva nia WILL ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY AND EXPENSE of conducting the legal proceedings in every court, from TJIE LOWEST TO TJIE HIGHEST, NECES SARY TO SECURE TO THEM THEIR RIGHTS AND TO RIGHT THEIR WRONGS ! The Supreme Court of the State hav ing decided, in effect, that am. men, of lawful ctgo, who have a residence in the State, and paid their taxon aceording to taw , shall m: allowed to vote, (any Federal or ftlute law to the coutrury notwithstanding), it is the duty of the party of the Union and Constitution to protect in and assure to every citizen of Pennsylvania his just constitutional rights. Men who have deserted from tiie military service, or who have ne glected or refused to perform ser vice when drafted, arc! certainly liable to punishment, but no man can be deprived of his vote or of any civil or political right until tried by court mar tial, under the Pules <xnd Pegulaiionsof the Army, found guilty, nude nerd and sentence ajjprovcd.

The Press publishes the following among its Atlantic Cable despatches : WHAT THE PHILADI.EI’HIA CONVENTION DOES FOR THE REBELS. London, August 31.—Advices received here of the action of the Philadelphia Con vention liavo had the eilect to materially ndvanco the prioo of Southern Stale bonds. The Press exposes its villainous pro pensity to pervert by the caption it places over this telegram. It seeks to convey the impression that the action of the Philadelphia Convention has resulted in pecuniary benefit to the rebels. What are the facta ? Southern State bonds, issued before the war, are largely held by Northern capitalists- Not the one-twentieth part of these bonds are held by Southerners. Nearly all of them that are not held in Europe are held In Philadelphia, New York and Boston ! Any advance in the price of these bonds in London, is just so much added to the wealth of the Nor thern holders of them in this country. We have not the least doubt (nor has the Press) that many members of the Loyal League of Philadelphia are bettor off for the advance la Southern bonds. The Largest Hardware Establish ment in Pennsylvania.— -The other day we paid a brief visit to Steinman & Co.’s Hardware Store, on West King street, and were kindly shown through it by Mr. Dll °r, 0,10 of tk® members of tho firm. It has ate y been much enlarged and improvod, and is now the largest and most completo estao is iment n| the kind In Pennsylvania. Tho building with the basemont Is four stories in height, with a front of over 30 feet and a depth of about 170 feet. Tho basement is used for the storage of cedar ware, Ac., and tho main salesroom, which is on tho first floor, is 100 feet long by 30 In width. It is lighted from übovo by sky lights. Hero everything is ns busy as a hoe-hive, clerks, salosmonand porters huv ing their hands full all tho whilo. Tho counting-room and cashior’s office, which is in the centre of the salesroom, Is a model of taste and neatness. Tho second tloor is used 'for tho oil-cloth and stovo depart ment, and tho third is tho “ houso-tlro” de partment. Thoro is a hatchway leading from the third to tho first floor, and one of J. Hall's Sons’ Patent Chain Hoisting Ma chines, the simplest and at tho sntno time most ingenious elevator we havo evor soon, hoists or lowers heavy articles as they are needed. Thu advantage of this olovator is that it acts as its own chock, and it makes no difference what amount of woight la be ing elevated or lowered, it will stop at any desired place and there remain perfectly stationary. 1 n tho nar of the main building are tho largo blacksmith, tin und stove shops of tho establishment. A new blacksmith and tin shop is being erected from which access to the stove room on tho second door will bo by means of a substantial bridge. Tho water from the roofs and other parts of tho buildings is carried off by a private sower. This establishment was started oil its present site about one hundred years ago by tho grandfather ofthe senior tuombor of the present firm. At his death his son, John F. Steinman, Ksq., one of our oldest, ami most estimable fellow-citizens, took the store and carried on the business for over forty years, retiring in IS-lp. It was originally started as a small tinware shop, and Ims been gradually growing until now it has become tho largest ami most success fully-conducted Hardware establishment in the State. Two or threo of the most prominent Wholesale Hardware Merchants in the country are graduates of this estab lishment. Tho names of tho present firm are George M. Steinman, Charles F. Uon gier and Isaac Diiler. They havo been connected with the establishment since curly manhood, and of eourso are perfect masters of Us immense business details and transactions. They are roul business men iu the fullest acceptation of the term, and three more worthy gentlemen cannot bo found at the head of any establishment. To give our readers some idea of tho busi ness done, it is merely sufficient to say that thirty clerks, salesmen, mechanics, portors and draymen are employed, and thoro is scarcely a leisure momontgiven them from the Lime of opening until closing. There are a great many persona in this county who have dealt with this establish ment for a quurtorund some half a century. It is noted for its high character and rolia bility. Mr. Differ related to us a pleasaut incident of an old gentleman, still living, at tho age of nearly four score years, who told him on one occasion that he had been dealing at Slemman’s for over fifty years, and had never oven been inside of another hardwaro store. Hi* also very innocently remarked that his lather had done so before him, ami that one of his dying requests was that his children should deal at no oilier hardware store. We merely relate tins incident to show what a hold an establishment con ducted as Stoinmun's is cun get upon tho people. In conclusion, we would advise any of our renders who wish to see a first-class Hardware Store to trail atSteinmunifc Co.’s, and assure them that they will bo treated with every courtesy and attention.
