Towanda, Thursday, July 19, 1866. Union Stale Ticket. FOR GOVERNOR, GEN. JOHN W. GEARY, OS WESTMORELAND COUNTY. A JOHNSON CONVBNTION. A somewhat singular clique of old poli ticians recently held a Convention in Phil adelphia, to which we briefly alluded last week, and which deserves a more extended notice. This Convention was called a Johnson Convention, and was called together for the purpose of expounding "my policy," and taking steps to support it. Most of the managers, as far at least, as we know them, were formerly Whigs, who have had no regular abiding place since the organi zation of the Republican party. WILLIAM F. JOHNSON, who was formerly a democrat, was elected Governor of the State, by the Whigs, and remained with that organization while it lasted. Not much, however was heard of him in politics until the scheme to defeat LINCOLN'S second elec tion, was developed. At the Convention which nominated JOHN C. FREMONT for the Presidency, Mr. JOHNSON took an active part; and in his speech to that body, he took stroug ground agaiust Mr. LINCOLN and his administration, denouncing it as corrupt, and a* opposed to the freedom of the slaves. Now we find this same man lead i ings off in meetings g '.ten up expressly to ! advance "my policy which is against the j freedom of the slaves, and against those i u-ho supjx>rt their freedom! The tergiversa | tion of this man,is,however,accounted for in j the fact, that he has been appointed Reve | nue collector of the Allegheny district.— : Time was when he would not thus expose 1 his inconsistency, and sacrifice his inan ! hood for so small a consideration. But j bad company, and bad habits have brought | him low, as they have done many another. | He sustained " my policy " because of the ! office he holds, and this he holds against | the expressed will of nine-tenths of the Republicans of Allegheny ; and he knows ! this, yet he calls himself Republican, and holds on to the office ; indeed, he secured ' this by truckling. Bradford county was honored, if honor : it can be called, with the Presidency of this Convention of patriotic and disinterested citizens, in the person of the Hon. H. W, TRACY. This gentleman does not hold an i office under ANDY JOHNSON, but that is not Mr. T.'s fault. We are much mistaken if he has not tried full as hard, but has been less successful ; and he still fully expects an appointment by subserviency to "my policy." It is very questionable whether j ex-governor JOHNSON, or Mr. TRACY voted | for Mr. LINCOLN, or any other Republican since that time, still, they are striving hard j to make people believe they are simon ! pure republicans. TRACY, like ex-Governor ; JOHNSON, was a ranting Abolitionist ! for a while, but finding no sale for his Bervices in that line, he turned on the abolition leaders of Congress, trusting,that by berating them right, well, he might make himself useful enough to "my policy" to secure a Cousulship to the Hottentots, or Deputy-Surveyor of public lauds among | the Mormons. This man TRACY, was parad ed out before the public, by this Johnson Convention, as one of great influence, char j acter, ond brains, yet it is doubtful wheth | er he can control a vote besides his own in the State. Certain it is, that he can not control a Republican vote ; and neither the Republicans of his township, or county, would elect him to any office. The reason of this is obvious. In 1862, in the darkest hour of the Rebellion, and when the public attention was absorbed in the desperate struggle, he was elected to Congress by the Democrats of this District, and while in Congress voting against many of the im portant measures of the government. Since permission was given him to retire to pri vate life, he has been playing upon two strings. One was to persuade the Demo crats to take him up for Congress again, . aud the other was to get an appointment i out of tb< President. He has not yet suc ceeded with either ; but he is persevering . and may win. JOSEPH R. FLANIGAN, Publisher of the Philadelphia Daily News, is also one of the great men, and chief operators in this John son meeting, and a more truckling, mercen ary politician, and more despicable publish er, there is not in the State. During the whole war he pretended to be loyal, but used the columns of his paper daily in be rating and abusing other loyal Journals, and in publishing the letters of Copper head army correspondents. His Copimer [ cial editor during the entire war, did his utmost to bring discredit on the financial schemes of the Government. His twaddle however, and such in truth it was, had no effect ; but the will for injury was very settled. Of late this man FLANIGAN has be came an applicant for an office in the Phil adelphia Custom House, and has been, of course, a very great admirer of ANDY JOHN SON ; and it was expected he would figure largely in this Convention. To this we have no objection. He had a right to fig ure there—he was of the right stripe for the motely crew,but he is not a republican, has no claims to one, aud we object to his being so sat down. It would make this article too long to follow up any further illustrious characters who figured in this JOHNSON Convention in Philadelphia. Suffice it to say, that judg ing from those we know, who arc sustain ing President JOHNSON, he is in a fair way rivaling Captain TYLERS' fame. The speeches of 11. W. TRACY' and W. F. JOHNSON made at our Metropolis, are like all the speeches, only more so, made on that side. \\ eak and puerile denunciations of u tyranical Congress for denying politi cal franchise to the sinless, innocent deni zens of the Sooth. The murderers of our children, brothers, husbands and fathers, are now only known among these, speckled bybred politicians,as people robbed of their Constitutional rights ! As if robbers, plun derers, pirates and murderers, had any rights under any Government. Out upon such whining deception, falsehood, and treachery. THE PRESIDENT VETOING AND VETOED.— The President, on Monday last, sent into the House, his veto of the Bill continuing the Freedmen's Bureau. Whereupon it was immediately passed over his veto, by both branches, by votes largely in excess of the required two-thirds. The vote in the Senate was yeas 33, nays 12 ; in the House, yeas 104, nays 33. I&. We invite attention to the Letter of onr Washington Correspondent, which will be found an able er]X)se of the plan of those who would disorganize and des troy the Republican party by means of the august Convention at Philadelphia. The writer has the very best opportunity for observing the leade'rs of the new move ment, and for understanding the purposes they have in view. CONGRESS has agreed to adjourn on Mon day next, but there appears to be some doubt as the ability to do so ; on account of unfinished business. CABINET RESIGNATION.—Postmaster-Gener al Dennison has tendered to the President the resignation of his office. This was done in writing, July Llth. The reason for this course, as stated by Mr. Dennison himself, is a difference of political views. It will be recollected that he was the President of the Union Republican convention which re-nom inated Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency at Baltimore, never intending otherwise than to adhere to the party whose principles it represented ; and as the call for the Phila delphia Convention is in antagonism to that organization, there was no other course left to him than to retire from the Cabinet.— While his personal relations with the Pres ident are undisturbed and friendly the sep aration is entirely because of a conflict of political views. The truth about the whole matter amounts to about this ; that Mr. Dennison has no idea of being transferred to the Copperhead party by Mr. President Johnson, Mr. Sew ard or any other traitor to the party that elected them. A special dispatch from Washington has been received at Nashville to the eff ect that "forty members of Congress have signed a letter addressed to Gov. BROWN LOW, asking him to convene the Legisla ture for the ratificatiou of the Co .stitutioii al Amendment, which finally passed the House on last Wednesday." The dispatch adds : "If Tennessee ratifies the amend ment there is no doubt that her delegation will be promptly admitted before the close of the present session." IgL. The Agricultural Department has received information showing that the crops throughout the country are in a bet ter condition than had been anticipated, as the weather during the Spring was very unfavorable. The present appearance of the corn crops is promising, and the oat crop throughout the whole country is un surpassed. All cereals promise a large yield, and it is expected that the crops will be unusually heavy. IgL. A Kansas corespondent of the Springfield Republican says that the sec tion of the Pacific Railroad from Kansas City to Lawrence is a sham and a fraud upon the public and the Government. It is not half built, and upon so low a grade that every rain sweeps off its bridges and disables it. It was evidently built to ob tain the Government lands ostensibly to aid in its construction, rather than for public use and convenience. If it is con tinued in tbe same way across the plains, it will benefit only the contractors. So far there has been fearful cheating in this great national enterprise. The twenty-second annual meeting of the New-York State Teachers' Associa tion will be held at Geneva, commencing at 4 o'clock p. M., on Tuesday, July 31. The session will continue until Thursday even ing. The exercises will include addresses by Hon. J. C. FOLOER, Prof. ARCY, President JACKSON and others ; discussions, essays, vocal music,sociable, Ac. The hotel charge for gentlemen is not to exceed $2 per day, and ladies will be entertained free by citi zens. An excursion on Seneca Lake is pro posed for Friday, aud a visit to Freer's Glen, at Watkins. WS" Geii. Geary, by reason of bis ser vices in tbe Army, was assigned a promi nent position in the great procession at Philadelphia, on the 4th of July. He was every where received with the greatest demonstrations of applause. The friends of Mr. Clymer think he was slighted in not having been assigned to some conspic uous post. We cannot imagine why these men should be put on the same platform when the battle - flagß were to be returned to the State for preservation. Gen. Geary had followed these flags in all the war, at every battle field ; he was was identified with their safety and glory; and Mr. Clymer and many of his friends were in uo wise identi fied with them except as idle spectators, or as very doubtful friends. In the parade of veterans on the 4th of July, Gen. Geary at the head of a division only occupied such a position as his military rank and services entitled him to. B& Advices from Havana to the 7th inst. are received. The reported revolu tion proves a canard, originating in an affray between the soldiers and residents of Puerto Principle, wholly local in its cause, and without political significance. WASHING TON LETTER. WASHINGTON, July 16, 1866. The grand treble political combination, the nat ural out-growth of the policy of Andrew Johnson, is made up, and the contracting parties have their work assigned them. Truthfully and rightly an alyzed, the combination presents three political elements for the accomplishment of one purpose, to wit : The overthrow of the true loyal sentiment of the country, as a controlling power in the ad ministration of the government, and supplanting in its stead a dangerous political element designed and intended to bring back into power the leaders and abettors of treason throughout tho states late ly in rebellion. Every powerful and successful political party, has adhering to its skirts, a set of mere camp-fol lowers, place-hunters, or political fungi, who cling to its organization so long as the spoils of office are in view, and then abandon it to attach them selves as leeches, wherever a prospect is presented of depleting the public treasury, and thrusting themselves into official positions. When it be came manifest, after the ascendency through the agency of an assassin of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, that he was about to betray the loyal people of the country, to whom he was indebted for his election to the Vice-Presidency, and cast himself, with the power he controls as the Chief Executive of the nation, into the arms of the lead ers of the late rebellion, and their aiders and sym pathizers, this political fungi sloughed off from the great loyal uuion party, relieving it of the dead weight, and attaching itself to the fortunes of Andrew Johnson and his dangerous policy of reconstruction. Then came, first, a call for a Johnson National Convention, eminating from a few powerless and discontented men who claim to have supported the election of Lincoln and John son, but who now support "my policy," among which, and upon the call, may be found the lilairs, A. W. Randall, Senators Cowan and Doolittle, and others of like ilk, requesting delegates from all the states to meet in convention in Philadelphia, on tho 14th of August next, for the purpose of giving support in an organized form to the President in his policy of reconstruction. Following immedi ately after, as the second act in the great drama, came a call signed by the democratic Senators and Members of Congress, indorsing the above named cull, and as if conscious of the weakness of the once powerful democratic party, in consequence of its political sins, advising the sending of dele gates from all the states to the said 14th August convention. Third and last, we find the entire rebel press of the states lately in rebellion, indors ing the call, and urging that delegates be sent to the said convention, and already in some of the southern states, delegates crimsoned with the blood of union soldiers, and who have desecrated the graves of our patriot dead, have been chosen. Here then we have presented the attempted polit ical combination, with an accidental President as its leader, which if successful is to rule the desti nies of the nation, and control the political policy of the government. What have the loyal people of the country, " the brave defenders of the rights of man," to expect from such a combination as as this? Already the fiat of proscription has gone forth from the President, himself the chief head and centre of the combination. Its instruments and agents are set at work in all sections of the coun try, to debauch political sentiment, by the pre fer of official positions, and the proscription of loyal men holding positions under the government, who will not surrender their manhood and become the instruments of promoting and building up this uelarious scheme for the overthrow of loyalty. Against this association of wickedness and wick ed men, stands out in hold relief, with an untarn ished record, the great loyal Union Party of the country, who have sustained and upheld the Gov ernment, and carried it triumphantly through the fierce struggle with traitors in arms, and by the force and prowess of its armies in the field, have compelled the cohorts of treason to lay down their arms and retire from the contest. This is the party of progress, for the promotion and protec tion of true and enlightened republicanism, and to it the loyal people look with earnest solicitation for protection, against all combinations seeking to bring back into political power those dangerous men who carried eleven of the states of this uuion into rebellion, for the purpose of destroying the union and establishing a confederacy based upon slavery. Overpowered by the force of union arms, but not humbled in spirit, this same disloyal ele ment, stimulated by the aid of Andrew Johnson, seeks to overawe union sentiment, and by a combi nation such as I have shown to exist, to become the defiant dictators of the political policy which shall rule the Government. The consequences which are to follow such a combined attempt, it successful, need not be enumerated. It will re store the leading rebels to seats in Congress, and to controlling positions in every department of the Government. It becomes then the solemn duty of every true patriot in the hind to exert his personal influence, actively and zealously, in favor of the success of the party which represents the true loyal sentiment of the country, against the combined elements of treason and its abettors and sympa thizers. Being myself a citizen of your own county and district, and having been heretofore somewhat identified with past political struggles, which di vided to some extent, upon purely local issues, the union party of our county and district, I naturally feel some solicitude for a perfect and harmonious union of all who have heretofore stood by the ad ministration of the lamented Lincoln. I know that attempts are being made by appeals to the prejudices engendered by our late local strifes, by certain men who have been assigned the work of distracting the union sentiment of our county and district, to divide the union party and divert a suf ficient portion of it to the support of the candi dates of the new combination, to insure their suc cess, but they cannot succeed. Mr. Robert F. Clark, lately appointed Assessor of Internal Rev enue for our district, and his successful competi tor for Congress iu the fall of 1802, lion. 11. W. Tracy, are the active agents for the combination in our district, and have entered with what subordi nates they can command (fortunately very few) ac tively upon their work. For these men, personal ly, 1 have a high regard, and in the contest of 1862, because of my convictions of right upon the local question which made up the issue in that canvass, I gave to Mr. Tracy, as an independent republican candidate, my cordial support against Mr. Clark, who was then the republican nominee, and upon that issue solely and alone, Mr. Tracy was suc cessful. lam truly sorry that these gentlemen, enemies before, but united now for this work, can find any pretext or excuse (reasons they cannot have,) for abandoning the cause of the union par ty, and becoming the instruments of a wicked and dangerous combination for the proscription and persecution of those who have carried the country safely through the rebellion. I allude to my own case, not from any imaginary importance that at taches to my position personally, but from a sense of duty, and for the purpose of appealing to those republicans in our district who stood where I then stood, to forget and overlook the prejudices en gendered by that contest, and stand as a unit firm ly by the cause of the union in support of the re construction policy so unanimously and firmly maintained by Congress, which looks to making such changes in the organic law as will be a sure protection against secession in the future, and against the power of treason, now and hereafter. There can be no doubt, of which every candid, honest man can satisfy himself, of the design of the new combination, to plant itself upon the old dangerous theory of States Rights, which carried the country into the war, and if successful in get ting control, another war more sanguinary than that through which we have just past must soon follow ; and as one evidence in support of this, I quote from a letter of Thomas F. Bowie, of Prince George's County, Maryland, written under date of June 18, 1866, to a newspaper called The Prince Ueoryiun, announcing himself as a candidate for Congress : "Asa disciple of Thomas Jefferson, I shall continue to advocate the rights of States snd the people, regardless of all convey uences. You are right in saying that Andrew Johnson will find in me a warm friend and advocate!. I look upon him as the only hope of a ruined and distracted country, lie shall be my candubtiefor the next Pres idency, and in this I shall have theeniire Soxdh and an unbroken Democracy everywhere." For my own part, I feel that vastly more import ance attaches to tho coming elections, than to any in the past. The importance of administering a signal rebuke to the attempted usurpation of the President as the controlling power in the combina tion alluded to, and sustaining the reconstruction policy of Congress, cannot be overestimated. I am confident the true friends of the union will not desert to the ranks of the rebellion after the battle has been fought and won. The difference between Union and Secession, is the difference be tween life and death, it is irreconcilable. There can be but once choice for union men, between the supporters of the Government and the Union, and those whose sympathies were with them who would destroy both. I cannot, and will not, under any pretext, be an instrument in the hands of any man, or set of men, of promoting organized dis loyalty, which seeks to keep alive the embers of rebellious sentiment, and bringing it again into a consuming flame, to devour the loyal sentiment of the country. I am yours truly, COMIIE. The War in Europe! The Austrians Defeated at Sudowa The Nova Scotia at Father Point brings the highly important intelligence that a freat battle took place on the 3d inst. near udowa,which resulted in the complete and decisive defeat of the Austrian army. In consequence of this disaster, following so close upon previous reverses, Gen. Benedek sent a flag of truce to the Prussian head-1 quarters, requesting an armistice. It is stated that Austria has offered to cede Ven etia to Napoleon, and that the French Em peror has undertaken the work of medi ation. AUSTRIA PROPOSES AN ARMISTICE PEACE REGARDED AS VIRTUALLY CONCLUDED. The latest by the Nova Scotia contains the following highly important news : LONDON, July o. The Prussian and Ital ian reply to the proposed armistice has not yet transpired. There are rumors that the Prussian reply is not favor aide. The Morning Post thinks that a Congress will shortly assemble, and that the French Government will propose a general disar mament. In the commercial circle of London peace is regarded as virtually concluded. GREAT BATTLE AT SUDOWA—DE FEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS—I4,OOO PRISONERS TAKEN. LIVERPOOL, July s —Evening — A great bat tle took place on the 3d near Sudowa, result ing in the Prussians obtaining a great and complete victory. The Prussians took 14,000 prisoners. There were great losses in killed and wounded, but no estimate is given of the numbers. The Austrians sent in a flag ol truce. The Prussians were commanded by the King in person. - They met the Au3triaus under Benedek between Iloritz and Kouig gratz. The battle lasted twelve hours.— Until 10 o'clock a. m., the battle was favor able to the Austrians, but after that hour the advantages were with the Prussians. At two o'clock p. m., after an obstinate defense, the Prussians carried by storm the strong position of the Austrians were quick ly driven out of other positions,and by sev en o'clock p. m. the Austrians were in full retreat to Koniggratz, pursued by the Pru! sian cavalry. The Austrians were in a complete route. The road was strewn with baggage which they threw away. The number of killed aid wounded on both sides was great, but owing to the ex tent of the battle-field, it has not yet been ascertained. The Prussians claim to have captured,up to the evening of the 4th, 14,000 uuwoun ded prisoners, 110 cannon and several flags. Three Austrian Arckdukes are reported wounded. Prince Lichtenstein and Prince Undischgaz were taken prisoners. Gen. Festitus, commander of an Austrian Corps, lost a leg. Gen. Counthume was shot in the head, and Col. Bender and another staff officer were killed. THF. SECRETARY. —The Pittsburg Commer cial gives the following first rate notice of the Secretary of the Johnson Club of the City of Washington : "The Rev. J. B. Ferguson is the record ing recretary of the Johnson Club,in Wash ington. He is one of the reconstructed sort. He and Andrew Johnson know one another. They have had business togeth er before. When Govenor of Tennessee, Johnson offered a reward for Ferguson, as an enemy to the country. He first fled to Philadelphia, then to Europe, along with the notorious Davenport brothers—return ing, he turns up conspicuously in the new party movement. The thing is perfectly natural, and as easy as rolling off a log !" Is not this the same Rev. J. B. FERGUSON who was cowhided in the streets of Nash ville for his impropper intimacy with a sis ter of his church ? It is not strange that such characters induce the President to appoint, as the New York Herald states, loafers , to till important offices. WHAT IS IN THE PROGRAMME. —Says a Wash ington despatch to the TrUnine : Southern papers received to day exhibit a very general disposition on the part of the people to respond to the address for the Philadelphia Convention. State and dis trict convention to nominate delegates have been called in Alabama, Georgia,and South Carolina. Senator Cowan states that it is in the programme to have the Philadelphia Conve ntion indorse C'lymer, in return for the Dem ocratic support of the Convention. He al ! so announces his intention of voting for the Democratic candidate for Congress in his own district. THE MASK OFF. —The Copperhead mem bers of Congress have issued a circular en dorsing the call and the principles of the proposed National Copperjohnsou Conven tion in Philadelphia. This strips the mask from the whole affair, and lays it open to the world as an undisguised copperhead concern. It is a desperate copperhead game to assist the robels and themselves into power. No true Union man mistake the class who are sustaining it. THE PHILADELAHIA CONVENTION. —At the head of the list of signers of the call,stands tne name of A. W. Kanuall, who has won distinction as the author of the rule, that "every man must sustain the President's policy who eats his bread and butter.''— Venality in politics was never more pithily or more impudently proclaimed, and the phrase doubtless illustrates the motives of the present movement.-- Utioa Herald.
