The Democratic Party and New Is
sues
The Democratic organs inform us that their party
will ride no dead horses; will fight with no spent
weapons ;,41111 turn their backs upon pa.: Issues,
and go into its coming campaigns on great, living
Interests. They parade this Intention as If it were
something very meritorious-4 piece of self-abnega
tion that ought to be worth to the party a good many
thousand votes. It is hardly worth while to smile
at this Yalstaillan assumption of magnanimity—this
cheap virtue of dropping all scandalous bygones, for
the public rood.
Grant that the issues of ono, two, and three years
afro are no longer subjects of lament concern ; at
will hardly help the broken fortune of the Demo
cratic party. Circumstances have changed ; but un
fortunately for the Democratic party, character does
not change with circumstance. You do not give
your trust to the man 10 the East to-day who play
ed you foul In the West a twelve month ago. You
would count It sheer impudence in him to demand
you to forget the past because of the difference of
latitude. Your confidence could not be had until
he made some show of penitence—gave some proof
of reform. The Democratic party was false to the
country during the war for its salvation. Because
of that unfaithfulness, the people threw It to the
quest It is infatuation to imagine that the people
will lift it up again and embrace lt, raise It to pow
er simply because an unqualified triumph over the
rebellion, achieved In spite of It, has brought a glor
ious peace.
The peace, of course, will bring new questions of
public policy, pertaining to reconstruction and oth
er great national intereets. But the people, It can
be safely asserted,. will prefer to leave those ques
tions in the hands of an administration and a party
which have nobly stood the most trying of all or
deals, rather than commit them to the party which
showed itself derelict In the time of trial. Even If
the management of the administration did not cult
them, they would still give It their firm support—
' Infinitely sooner than put boa into power a party
which has proved Itself so utterly unworthy. On
some points there are differences of opinion among
those millions who compose that great party which
so crandly eanied the government through the war ;
but on the prime point that the interests of the
country are safe In the hands of President Johnson,
there Is no difference of opinion. The Democratic
pa..ty Itself, in all of its Straits for some new stalking
horse that shall screen its damaged character, dare
not make a single issneagelnist his method of deal
ing with the great palate questions of the day. It
takes precious good cage to keep all of its shifts
within a respectful distance of his shadow.
What the Democratic party resolves or falls to re
solve in Its party conventions will have very little
effect in the coming election.. It cannot mettle the
public confidence short of the impossible feat of re
solving itself out of its personal identity, so that the
people shall no longer recognize It to ho what it
was. We give the party the Credit of not attempt
ing that. It still keeps In the foreground the men
who figured most largely as factlontsts during the
war? Its convention in this State would have - ..en
presided over by Horatio SeytnOnr, but for his nec
essary absence • Its convention in Ohio had Clement
C. V allandighain among its most conspicuous actors.
In every Northern State the leading spirits of the
party are the same as in other years • and the body
of the party remains unchanged . This is clear to all
eyes. There is no &cadging It. Wesay, therefore,
that the party must still suffer the penalties of Its loss
of character. Its Outliners for public trust last year
must tell against It with the same forte now.—N. Y.

A Pardon fora Pistol.
A few days ago a very interesting acme took place
at the 'usual crowded reception of the President.—
Applicants were approaching Mr. Johnson, each
with his case ready ; after briefly stating which, and
a record being made of it by the private secretary,
way was made for others. In the line was Mr.
Banks, an enterprising young merchant of New
York, and his friend Mr. Kervan, of Petersburg, a
leading miller, who applied for pardon, coming as
he did within the twenty-thousand dollar or thir
teenth douse of the amnesty proclamation As soon
as the President saw Mr. Ban ka he recognized him,
asked him his business, and hearing that It was to
ask a pardon for Mr. Nemo!, he took a note of it,
and told him, smilingly, he would bear from him in
the morning. The reason why the President re:erg
s/heed the young New.. Yorker is best explained by
the following short narrative ;
In April oflB6l. after the Senate of the United
Rates had adiouthed., Mr. Banks was going from
Washington to the South, on the railroad running
by Gordonsville and Petersburg. At his side was a
very pleasant person, who conversed freely on the
different tonlen of theism:, and finally asked himato
change a $2,50 gold piece, which he did. When tie
cars stopped at +Go:tansy - 111e there was a great and
excited crowd assembled. They at once demanded,
and sent some of their number into the train , . to *see
" whether Andy Johnson was on board ?" Let's
bear from him I" " Drag him out!" At this mo
ment the gentleman at the side of Mr. Banks rose,
and was walking to the platform to show himself,
when the engineer started the train and dashed off
at his best speed. Pis companion was Andrew
Johnson! As he took his seat, Mr. Banks asked
him where he wns going. He said To my, home
at Greenville ! , Tennessee," "I am glad ff we got off
from those gentlemen, Governor,".saldßanks. I
am sorry," Odd Johnson ; .1 wanted to tell them
what I thought of secession-" Mr. Banks then ask
ed the Governor if he was armed. The reply was
in the negative; When the New Yorker banded one
of his fine revolvers to the Tennessee Senator, and
they soon afterwards parted to meets few days ago
in the Presidential manrisse, Banks has his gold
piece to this day.
_The nett , morning he was sent
) and as the rresldentixtet him he said, " I base
often thought of you, 14 Banks Yon gave me a
plated that might have tared my life. I now give
your friend, /larva; a Ortion to start him in busi
ness"

STATE SENATOR.
As our readers will perceive, the Senatorial
Conference for this district resulted In the choice
of Hon. George Landon as the Republican Can
didate for State Senator. Hon. Wm. J. Tamil
made an excellent Senator, was honored by an
election to the Speakership, and was the first
choice of Susquehanna for re-election ; but it
was hardly to be expected that Bradford would
now yield to this County both the President
Judge and the Senator.
Mr. Laudon is well known to the people of
Susquehanna County. They know him as an
eloquent, earnest, unflinching, and untiring ad
vocate of the principles of freedom. Few men
in this district, if any, have done more to form
a correct public sentiment on the subject of hu
man bondage. Pro-Slavery Democrats and cop
perheads call him a fanatic; but all men who
have boldly and persistently warred against
great and strongly defended wrongs, have been
subject to the same imputation.
Mr. Landon was our Senator for three years,
and we never heard but one charge brought
against him—his vote for the repeal of the ton
nage tax. We have no ir clination at this day
to recall that question. It stands now among
dead issues. But we believe Mr. Landon's vote
was conscientiously given. He may have made
a mistake, as his constituents generally believe
he did. But where is the public man who has
never made a mistake ? It is said that Henry
Clay once gave a vote in Congress that was se
verely condemned by the great body of his con
stituents. On his return to Kentucky, an old
hunter met him and very plainly and emphati
cally condemned his vote to his face. Said Clay,
•' My old friend, I know you have a good rifle
there, but did it ever play yon false ?" " Yes,"
said the herder, " it once missed fire."—" And
did you therefore throw it away ?"—"No, I
picked flint and tried it again."—And the old
man concluded he would try "Harry of the
West" again.
The charge 80 recklessly made by the copper
heads, that Landon received money for his vote,
is preposterous. Those who know him best con
cur in saying that he is a strictly honest man—
no inferior qualification in these days for alegis
lator. After the repeal of the tonnage tax, and
when reports against the integrity of our Sena
tor began to be circulated by his enemies, we
were told by our then Representative, George
T. Frazier, who was on intimate terms with Mr.
Landon, and who himself voted against the
measure, that be had no idea that Mr. Landon
received money for his vote, but he firmly be
lieved him to be an honest man and incorrupti
ble legislator.
But we expect, of course, now that be is re
nominated for Senator, that the vials of copper
head wrath will be opened against him, and that
any old charge that can be raked up, and every
new one that can be invented, will be promul
gated for the rrurpose of diminishing our major
ity in the district " Disorganize " is the word
among our opponents. As they can do nothing
while we are united, they suturally try every
means to split the Republican party. But their
efforts will be in vain.
p!Flcs , kyr , i.‘-1 , 44 , 4 , 4.i 014 r , o (rung
The New York correspondent of the London
limes excuses British hostility to the Union
cause during the war by the existence of a seces
sion party in the North. It says :
"To this very hour there remains a large loyal
northern party In the United States, which constant
ly asserts, in newspapers and private life, that the
war was an unrighteous one that it never ought to
have been wag ; that the principle of state rights
gave the South full liberty to secede; that the con
stitution has been violated ; and that slavery is not
abolished. • A very large section of the party called
demoendle, and which aspires to rule the nut elec
tions, and seems likely to do so, maintain these
opinions."
These statements cannot well be denied, after
the record made by democratic conventions and
newspapers during the last four years. Has the
democratic party abandoned this position! The
South has not only given up the experiment of
secession, but is renouncing the doctrine [Welt
which is more than we had reason to demand
or expect—how is It with the demacracy of the
North! In the state convention of Mississippi,
the home of 'Davis, where the southern idea of
"state rights" would naturally be adhered to as
strongly as anywhere in the South, a square is.
sae was made on the repudiation of the doctrine
Of secession, and the repudiation was carried by
a vote of Si to 14—a majority less only by three
than that by which the ordinance of secession
was repealed. Thus Mississippi has renounced
both the act and the doctrine of secession. The
fully important controversy in the convention
'was on this point.., A minority report on the
matter of secession advised the repeal of the or.
&Dance, without expressing any opinion as to
the doctrine; but A. IL Johnston, chairman of
the committee, said:
" We did not use the words' null sad void' with.
out due consideration. They had a significance and
an object, which was simply to make a directattack
upon the doctrine of secession end destroy it. The
words ' abrogate' or repeal' would recognize and
muffin' the right of accession: By employing the
phraseology they bad, the committee had rally cm
sleeted that it would bring on a contest in the con
vention, and had not fungal° avoid it."
Thu wit ihnig *only alit, sad Sii
sissippi openly renounced the doctrine of sews
don. Will the northern democracy follow the
example of nississipPl, or shall we have a reces
sion party in the North after the bad cause has
been abandoned and repudiated by the Booth ?
THE DEBT OF PEIITNSYLVANIA.
Whilst the United States, and almost every
State, city and county, have added vast sums to
their debts during the last four years, Pennsyl
vania has enjoyed the somewhat peculiar satis
faction of having reduced her State debt by sev
eral important instalments. A very handsome
amount was removed from our indebtedness in
1864, andnow we have official intelligence of
an extensive reduction in 1865. The sum of t
$745,811 26 has been extinguished during the
present year. a greater amount th. , i was ever
before disposed of during a twelvemonth. In
December, 1864, the State Treasurer reported
the debt of Pennsylvania to be $03,379,603, and
the present reduction brings down the amount
to $88,684,891 7L But against this amount the
Treasury holds bonds of the Pennsylvania and
Erie Railroad Companies to the amount of
$10,800,000. These are good assets, and will be
paid when due, so that the debt may be sub
stantially assumed to be that much leas, or
$28,334,891 74. The amount even at that figure
is large enough, but the resources of Pennsylva
nia are so ample that a moderate income tax
will not only pay our expenses, but furnish a
handsome sum towards the gradual extinguish
ment of all our obligatiJns. In succeeding years
we may expect to du much better than in the
last twelve months, and with care'and economy
and fidelity in the public offices, it will not be
many years before the old Commonwealth will
be out of debt.
THE !CAINE ELECTION
The Kennebec Journa a Maine figures are doubt
less those officially returned to the Secretary of
State. The Governor's vote compares with that
of the same towns last pear as follows:
18174. 1865.
Cony (Colon) -47,715 Cony (Union).... 40,775
Howard (Dem.)....33.04a!H0 wart (13em.)...4135
Union majority-14,6671 Colon majority..lB,64o
Coney's majority in the State will probably
exceed 20,000, against a little more than 16,000
last year, though the total vote has fallen off
nearly one-third. Maine has never before shown
an increased majority for our side the year after
a Presidential Election.
How Colonel Davis Went In for Put
ting Down the Rebellion.
The following choice extracts from the D.piestotan
Democrat, of which Col. Davis, the present Demo
cratic candidate for Audih•r General of this State,
was and is the editor and proprietor, are given for
the purpose of showing the sentiments which were
disseminated by that paper while he held an official
position under the Government which was so bitter
ly assailed in its pages. As Col. Davis is now before
the people as a candidate for public office, and is de
sirous of receiving their votes, and since he was un
doubtedly nominated on account of his having been
engaged In the war, and therefore likely to be more
available before the public on that account, It is bet
Jost that the kind of air his newspaper rendered the
Government, and the sympathy it extended to its no
ble, illustrious and lamented chief In his efforts to
crush out treason and rebellion, should be again
given to the eammuulty.
An editorial article in the Democrat of August
`Md, 1864, when Col. Davis was still an officer in
the army, reads as follows :
"With an Immense army, a good nary, and the
porta of the Confederacy blockaded, we have gained
virtually nothing, and will have gained nothing un
til we defeat the two male armies of the South. The
reasons why we have-been so unfortunate are plain
and understandable. Mr. Lincoln committed him
self to an emancipation policy. He hereby aban
doned the war for re-union, and made it a war ab
solutely and unequivocally for the negro. "Slavery
shall not live" was his motto. Beyond this was an
object dearer to his heart—his own re-election—
which he esteemed more than a hundred thousand
live.. These were the two motives for abandonlr g
the principles of our government, and of perverting
the war. For these purpose., and these only, has
the war been prolonged; for these purposes were the
soldiers massacred et Oln.ter, and the army of
Gen. Grant defeated and foiled ; for these purposes
has another draft been ordered; for these purposes
have elections been carried by force of arms, and
"bogus States" declared in the Union ; for these
purposes have thousands been hurled under Con
federate cod; for these purposes have the forts and
basilica of the country been filled with fearless pat
riots who dare expose the profligacy of Abolition,
and thecorruptkm and despotism of Abraham Lin-
coln.
"The people are now to decide between this state
of things and peace—between the old Government
and a new despotism—between the protection of
our liberties and the surrender of them to en arbi
trary and perfidious ruler. Peace ended with the
administration of James Buchanan, and war, bloody,
remorseless war, began with the inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln. We have tried war for three
years; let us now try to effect what war has failed
to do. There is no doubt that Mr. Lincoln has done
more to cement the States of the Confederacy to
gether than any man on the continent Tie has pur
sued a policy calculated to divide the sentiment of
the North, and harmonise that of the South. Yet
he has now the presumption to ask a re-election.
The queition will be : Lincoln and this war, or the
Chicago nominee and peace for re-union.
"It is a mistaken Idea that peace means a slavish
submission to the Confederacy. It means nothing
of the kind. No Democrat ever expressed his willing
ness to Concede to dishonorable compromise. We
have tried war and found by a sad experience that it
Is supremely profitless, and Lincoln and his hire.
Hoge are incapable of managing a campaign succeaa
folly if they wished. Something must be done. The
Democratic_ party proposes , If we judge aright, to
restore the Union under the Constitution by peacea
ble means. Mr. Lincoln has put the prolongation
of the war out of the question. Our nation is al
most bankrupt, and every branch of industry is stir
tering for want of men; therefore are men called
upon to join the standard of peaeefer re-union ; and
defeat the party In power which Is no more nor less
than a thorough disunion party."
Again, from a leading editorial of August 30th, the
week after, we quote the following:
"The Confederates contend that they have made
an agreement with the Federals for the proper and
speedy exchange of prisoners ; that they have faith
fully observed the provisions of it, and have fre
quently proposed to exchange on Its basis. Bet Mr.
Lincoln says no. He will permit the white soldiers
of the North to rot in the scorching sun, and the
Federal army tqlx-come a skeleton, before be will
agree to an exchange which does not recognize his
tyranny and court his despotic will
What la the (onset:pence of Mr. Lincoln's re
fusal! Vie suffering of our brave and gallant soldiers.
They are lett to ere on Southern soil rather than
relinquish the policy of negro equality. 'fire Con
federates are scented of inordinate barbarity, in or
der to-conceal the despotism and criminal fanaticism
of our President. Let soldiers remember that Abra
ham Lincoln made a solemn agreement for the ex
change of prisoners of war and broke It because It
did not Include negro soldiers many of whom are
runaway slaves of the South. Let them remember
that all their sufferings and privations while In cap
tivity was necessitated by the contracted policy of
Mr. Lincoln.,Let them remember that their rights,
honor, and teir liberty are outraged on account of
the negro; and done by a President of the United
Staten.
"The negro to the idol of Abolitionism. The
whites may dleln forte and prison-camps, because
the negro is not recognized as his equal by the Con
federates. This fact proves that our present warfare .
la a weak fight for negro equality, and negro liberty.
No evidence can he found that we are fighting for
re-union and the Constitution. This war is per
verted and the man guilty of the act presumptuous
ly asks the suffrages of the people and the soldiers
In the army. Let the people remember him. Let
the wives and children of our prisoners of war re
collect that he la the fountain head of their suffer
ings; and if they become widows and orphans, that
he Is the murderer. Let the prisoners remember
him when they eat their last scanty morsel; and if
the people-of this country are true to themselves
and to our Suffering soldiers, they will pronounce
trim a man
"Elated, despised, secturged by a two-fold rod,
The scorn of millions and the curia of God."
The abode is only a sample of the numerous pro
ductions of 111 like character that have appeared in
that paper, dating the war, more of- which may ap

The Position of President Johnson
on Negro Suffrage•
The following important letter on this important
question, Is from the Secretary of the Interior to
the Hon. George B. Edmonds of lowa. It shows
exactly where the President stands on the subject
of negro suffrage, and differs in no way that we can
see from the position of President Lincoln. Here
tofore the States have had the control of the sal
tr.ge question In all Its phases except one—that tab
regard to the "all other persons" (slaves) referred
to in the Constitution. The Constitution may be
altered so es to reach the question, hut this will de
pend
upon Congress and the States. Meantime
Congress will peas upon the quialillcatlons and elec
tion of members from the States late in rebellion
when they present themselves to claim their seats.
Departme.i qf the Interior, Washington, D. C., Aug.
IBlis.—Don. GEOROB B. EDMONDS, Clermont,
loitra,—Dear Sir :—I have just received your letter
of rhe list instant, stating, amongother things, that
the Union State Convention of lowa has adopted as
a plank In its platform • recommendation in favor
of negro suffrage; that the copperhead convention
has endorsed President's Johnson's policy for the
reorganization of States, assuming it to be to oppo
sition to negro suffrage; that this is, in your opin
ion, the issue joined between the two parties in
Iowa; that heretofore the Union party has derived
valuable aid from me in support of its principles ;
that you regret to observe a newspaper report
of a speech recently made by me, which places me,
as you think, in antagonism with its present prin
ciples and policy, which gives you pain.
In reply, I have to say that if your opinion was
well founded it would be a cause of greater pain to
me than to yourself ; but I bee leave respectfully to
state that you misapprehend the position of Presi
dent Johnson, and my own as well as that of the
Cation party at large. The real question at issue, In
a national point of view, is not whether negroes
shall be permitted to vote, but whether they shall
derive that authority from the National Government
or from the State governments respectively.
President Johnson maintains the doctrine that
I the Constitution of the United States does not con
fer on the Federal Government the right to inter
fere primarily with the question of suffrage in any
State of the Union ; that the question may arise and
properly be decided by Congress, when fienatoraand
members present themselves for admission to seats
In that body, under the clause of the Constitution
which makes each house the exclusive judge of the
qualifications and elections of members; and that
other clause of the Constitntion of tae United States
which provides that " the United States shall guar
antee to every State In the Union a republican form
of government" I infer that If any State shonld
adopt a law on the subject of suffuses, which would
clearly show the State government to be other tam
republican, It would be the duty of Congress to re
ject applicants for seats, and to adopt whether leg
islative remedies would, In their judgment, be nec
essary to carry out the guaranties of the Constitu.
tioc.
That the State of lowa May take step* to extend
the right of suffrage, is not, as it seem to me, In con
vict with this policy, and, consequently, those who
support the policy of the President on this subject,
are not In antagonism with the platform of the lie
ion party of lowa.
The Union party of that State propose that the
State shall modify its own constitution, so as to In
clude as electors persons who have not, under its
present provisions, the right to vote. This, as
President Johnson maintains, a State may do, but
that the national government would have no right
to require lowa, or any other State, to modify Its
own constitution, on this or any other subject,
when not in conflict with the Constitution of the
United States.
It I should be In lowa when the question is stib
mittrd to the people—lf it shall be no submitted by
the Legislature-1 would vote to extend the rights
to classes of persons possessing the requisite Intel
ligence and patriotism to be intrusted with a par
ticipation In the management of public affairs,State
or national, without regard to their nationality, as I
do not believe that the liberty of any class of peo
ple can be considered safe who are to be permanent
ly deprived of the exercise of this right.
I do not disguise these opinions; you may there
fore make what use of this letter you may deem
proper.
I base the honor to be, very respec tfully,
_ your
obedient servant, JAS. RAHLA?I.
Seward, Stanton, and Holt
The Chicago Republican concludes some fitting
comments upon the malignity of Montgomery Blair
as follows:
The truth is, that during the whole of those dark
and threatening days which attended the conclusion
of the last Democratic Administration, the Rapt:Mlle
was saved by the efforta of Edwin M. Stanton, Jo
seph Holt, and John A. Dix. With a courage, a de
votion, a pertinacity, a heroic resolution that never
faltered lin the midst of appalling dangers and diffi
culties., these three patriots and statesmen were al
ways true. Whether the duty was to manage the
imbecility of a President whose cold-blooded sym
pathies were all with treason, or to resist with open
defiance the maddened conspirators of the South,
there was never an hour, never a moment, in which
these three faithful Americans proved recreant to
their great historic trust. To Mr. Stanton especial
ly the gratitude of the American people is due; but
it is due to them aIL The country and the world
will not be held from doing Justice to their inesti
mable services by all the calumnies that party in
henuitydcan invent, or - that Individual malice can
iss abroad.
As for' Mr. Seward, we shall not as a word in
his delense. It Is not necessary. He no longer
stands iii the category of those public men whose
past actions arc to be,raked over to tied matter for
present Impeachment. The people regard him with
peculiar affection. Associated in the martydnm of
the late President, we all thank God that he has
escaped
,the awful blow, and still remains a member
of the useautive Government. Serving his country
with submissive calmness In the midst of public
calamlilp., personal injuries, and domestic afflic
tions, all alike without a parallel, be can well afford
to look with his usual cheerful Indifference 0.00
thia last onslaught of a personal and political oe.
Th. stalfesman wbom Providence has rescued from
the murderous dagger of Payne, cannot be much In
