TUESDAY, MARCH 18, Ism
Van GOVERNOR:
MESTER CLYMER,
OF nEr..Es COUNTY.
The State Convention.
We publish a report of the State• Co
nvention, which includes the powerful
speech of our nominee for Governor. The
Convention was a full one, and unprece
dented harmony, both as to platform and
candidate, prevailed; and all went home
feeling confident of viefory. theater Cly
mer is well known as an able, eloquent,
and reliable man—one whose character
for honesty and integrity is above ques
tion. A staunch Democrat, and a &In
supporter of the President's 'restoration
policy, he is just the man for Governor.
Take him all in all, and we do not know
his equal for the duties assigned him.
The Opposition Convention,
Tho opposition met in Convention on
the 7th,.to name their beaten man for
Governor;. and were fully under the con
trol of those' whom the President desig
nates as Northern traitors. Opposition
to the President; opposition to the Un
ion ; opposition to their race, were the
leading features. Not flaring to openly
denounce the President, they call upon
him to stand lay their party; but they
strike over his head to denounce his
friends, and carefully endorse his enemies.
A resolution to endorse the President
' was hooted and hissed down. So the is
sue- was made up, and Andrew Johnson
will fight it out on that line, if it takes all
summer. Gen. Geary, who was taken for
want of a more pliant tool, was selected
by the dead duck faction, and.will be bad
ly beaten by the Democrats and other
Unionists.
The Traitors vs. Seward.
Secretary Seward endorses the Presi
dent, and made a speech at Now York on
the 22d in support of the veto. The next
day on reading the President's speech, he
telegraphed to Johnson at Washington as
follows :
" Na-w-Yonx, Feb. 23, 1866. IL is all
right and sate. The Union is restored
and the country safe. The President's
;., ...41 me country
will be happy.
(Signed) W. 11. Snwenu."
After reading this dispatch, Wm. Lloyd
Garrison, a leader of the Northern trait
ors, said in a speech at Brooklyn, in re
ference to Seward :
" How art thou fallen, oh Lucifer, son
of the morning. It bad been far better
for thee to have died beneath the stabs of
the assassin Payne, than to have survived
and forwarded such a besotted telegram
to the Presidential leader of the rebel and
copperhead forces of the country. God
may forgive you, but a betrayed people
never will."
A Sober Speech.
There is but one "slang phrase" in the
President's great speech of the 22d ; and
the whole document bean upon its face
no evidence of intoxication, but good
proof of a clear, cool bead, and an earnest
heart. But as some of the northern trai
tors and their race holding followers al
lege that he was drank when he madehis
speech, we disprove the slander by quo
ting what the N. Y. Tribune says in its
Washington dispatch of the 23d :
"Some of the President's friends are
to day endeavoring to palliate the Presi
dent's performances yesterday on the
ground that he was under the influence
of liquor, this, hiiireirei, is without foun
dation; the President, according to the,
accounts given by the most trustworthy
witnesses, was entirely sober when be
delivered his speech."
Yes, " entirely Bober," and fully in
. ,
earnest !
gir The Republican statement that
we claim the President as a convert to the
Democratic Tarty, is not true; we merely
endorse him as far as he does and says to
suit ni f ind: shall approtie or disapprove
his future. acts by that standard only.-

committee aira,about to , report a bill to

Andrew Johnson will, veto that bill, for

or Next week we titan quote an im
portant, recordinade by .ffindrew Jobtototr
in 1881, on the " object of the war."
OPPOSITION TO A &Wig OlnillENCY.r.-*

omsed to , a - restoration of tbe, enion are
aopposed to a return toa specie currenw

Johnson vs. Northern Traitors.
In his speech of Feb. 22d, the President
denounced those who opposed the res
toration of the Union as "traitors, -at the*
other end of the line ;"; and to show
that such is his deliberate opinion, we
quote a few sentences from his speech to
a Baltimore committee, a few days later.
He said :
"I will simply remark that my policy,
to which you have alluded as before the
country, Was not announced as the result
of impulse. --It •was announced - , as.4,he re
sult of convietion,, of mature r considera-
Lion, as a necessary consequenbe of the
principles upon which this Government
rests.
That policy, which I heartily regard as
being the.best for the country, will con
tinue before the peciple without the slight
est deviation, and without being swerved
from on my part. I do not say this in a
spirit of menace or threat to any body,
but simply to give assurance that there
will be no abandonment of nor shrinking
from that 'policy, because it is believed
that the very existence and perpetuity of
the Governaient depend upon the main
tenance of the principles which have been
enunciated.
lam impressed with the conviction
that my duty must be performed, without
regard to consequences.
I stand now precisely on the same
ground 1 stood on in the Senate on the
18th and 19th days of December, 1860.
I know that it has been said, and, no
doubt by many designedly, that here is a
President who was elected by a party,
and who,
on coming into power aban
doned that party; that he has Tylerized"
his Administration • that be has joined the
Copperheads, and things of that kind.
Those things have no influence upon
me. They fail wholly to drive me from
the discharge of my
. duty.
I hope that the time will soon comb
when the conntry will be thoroughly rec.
onciled, but to secure all that is necessary
for this purpose will require a severe
struggle, for lam free to say to you it is
not worth while to disguise it, that the
very same spirit which animated the Re
hellion at one end of the line now exists
at the other to some extent.
Before the recent Rebellion there were
one set of men who were trying to dis
solve and break up the Government for
the purpose of preserving the institution
of slavery, and another set of gentlemeb
were willing to break up the Government
for the purpose of destroying slaVery.
Though these respective parties suc
ceeded m the object they wished to ac
complish, they agreed in one thing, and
that was the destruction of the Govern
ment; and so far as that point is concerned,
the one was as culpable as the other.
The blow was first struck at, the south
ern end of the line. It, being struck there,
the spirit which was making war upon the
principles of the Government must have
itseir upon:, ana it-join
ed with those who were for the Union
against those who were for Rebellion.
But now, when Rebellion is put down, if
we find an attempt to change the charac
ter of the Government we must equally
resist it. Tee attempt now is to consoli
date, to
, concentrate absolute power here.
It is destructive of the Government, and
it is a manifestation of the same spirit
which attempted to break up the Govern
ment. I stand opposed to both."
The Issue Made Up.
J. W. Forney, 4 the Republican leader,
the bitter enemy of the President, the
Union, and the white race, announces that
negro suffrage, is the issue before the
country. Read what he writes :
" When the question of Universal suf
frage came up in the House of Represen
tames on the 18th instant; there were.
116 votes in the affirmative and 54 in the
negative, of which there were only four
teen Unionists—the balance being so
called Democrats. The issue is thus made
up between the great Union party and its
adversarieU. Shall these 118 patriotic rep
resentatives be discarded and Aisgraced,
because of their vote in faior of universal
suffrage in the District of Columbia."
Geary was nominated for Governor by
the influence of Forney and other negro
equality radicals.
Remember the issue they make for
themselves.
Negro Equality Avowed.
Hawley, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Connecticut,' deemed his position
in a speech to .the returned colored regi
ment, in Hartford, November, 24, 1865.
He said : •
",Tank God, one thing has been set
tle by the war. It is settled that the
black man is entitled to all rights , and
privileges of the white man ! [ Cheers.]
And with the help of God they shall have
them." [Cheers.]
" All the privileges" of the white man
including voting, marrying white women,
and a goo,d . ‘nany other things.

The State Convention—the Platform—
the Nominee.
The manner in which the recent Demo
cratic State Convention discharged the
important' duties imposed upon it, cannot
fail to meet with the cordial approval of
thu Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
At no period in the history of the Com
monwealth, did a Convention assemble
charged with graver responsibilities. The
work before it was no ordinary political
abor. The nomination of a candidate
was not its only duty. Its action was not
only to be shaped in a way calculated to
win mere partisan approval,lint it was
called upon to assume a position that
would invoke to the support of the ban
ner it uplifted, all the true and honest pa
triots in the State, who are now longing
for that.peace and prosperity which the
wise and conciliatory policy of Andrew
Johnson must inevitably bring to the na
tion.
The resolutions adopted by the Con
vention are brief, but pointed. They set
forth in clear and unmistakable language
the faith of the Democratic party. The
immediate restoration of the Union is
pronounced to be paramount to all other
issues. " Taxation without representa
tion," is declared to be tyranny; and the
admission of representatives from the
States whose people were lately in rebell
ion, is demanded in positive terms. The
faith of the Republic is pledged to the
payment of the national debt, and Con
gress is urged to pass all laws that may
be necessary to carry out that purpose.
Each State is claimed to have the exclu
sive right to regulate the qualifications of
its own citizens; but the control of the
government is committed exclusively to
the hands of the white race, and the doc
trine of negro suffrage is condemned in
strong and decided language. The poli
cy of restoration enunciated by President
Johnson is earnestly commended to the
confidence and support of all who respect
the Constitution and love their country,
and a proper tribute is paid to the brave
men of the army and navy for their hero-
is services in defense of the Constitution
and the Union. These resolutions will
awaken the heartiest approl4l among the
conservative citizens of Pennsylvania, and
their endorsement at the polls, in Octo
ber next, by a large majority of the free
men of the Old Keystone, is one of the
certain events of the future, if the De
mocracy fight the approaching political
battle with that zeal and energy which
characterized their struggles in the better
days orthe Republic.
The nominee for Governor—the Hon.
Hiester Clymer, of Berks county—is a
gentleman of the highest personal worth,
acknowledged mental abilities, and ex
tensive acquaintances with the great in
dustrial interests of Pennsylvania. He
graduated at the College of New Jersey
in the year 1847, and immediately com
menced the study of law, in which profes
sion be gained considerable eminence.
The writer of this article knows hip will),
ana auring long years of acquaintance,
dating back to his entrance into the dus
ty arena of every day life, he always found
him a true friend, an accomplished schol
ar, a devoted citizen, and. a true hearted
and courteous gentleman. No one ever
breathed the slightest breath of suspicion
against his personal or political integrity.
In the Senate of his native State, during
five years of faithful service, and in all his
contact with partisan politics, he has been
known as a thoroughly honest man, and
whatever enemies ho may have mane by
his public and official conduct, no word
or syllable has ever been uttered in dero
gation of that good name, which, in man
or woman, is the immediate jewel of their
souls. No political hucksters will ap
proach Lim without rebuke, and if elec
teCted to the high . position for which he
was nominated by the Democracy, be will
direct public affairs with an ability, a
statesmanship, and an honesty of pur
pose, that will open a new path of glory
and prosperity - to our beloved Common
wealth.
The platform and the candidate are
now before the people. With an anxiety
cominensurate with the importance of
the issue at stake, we go into the contest,
and, from this time forth, will labor with
all our huinble abilities for the success of
that great organization which we honest
ly believe now holds in its hands the des
tinies, of the millions of white freemen
who are scattered from the icy waters of
the Aroostook to the golden sands of the
Sacramento. We believe that the Demo
cratic party whose past history is bright
with the glory of our common country,
can alone save the nation in its present
peril. The bold bad men who are driving
their country on to ruin, , must be speedi
ly checked iu-their wild and reckless ca
reer of destruction and desolation. The
people, mnst set their seal of condemna
tion at the ballot box upon the mad and
traitorous schemes of Stevens and Sum
ner and Phillips. They must stand by
Andrew Johnson because he stands by
this Union and the Constitution. They
must have no other light to guide their
footsteps; and, if they are only true to
themselves in the great political battle
which is to be fought in the present year,
not only in Pennsylvania but throughout
the Union, the cause of constitutional lib
erty will be placed upon such a basis that
no efforts of its foes, open or secret, oan
ever shake or topple it from its secure and
e I safe foundation.-740,

esteeming the immediate restoration of the Union par
amount wall other Issues, do resolve :
1. That the States, whereof the people were lately In
rebellion, are entegral parts of the Union. and are enti
tled to representation in Congress by men duly elected
who bear true faith to the Constitution and Laws, and
in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without
representation is tyranny, such representatives should
be forthwith admitted.
2. That the faith of the Republic is pledged to the pay
ment of the National debt, and Congress should pass all
laws necessary for that purpose.
3. That we owe obedience to the Colistitution of the
17..ited States (including the amendment prohibiting,
slavery.) and under its provisions will accord to those
emancipated all their rights of person And property.

ling to grant to negroes the right to rote.
G. That the hold enunciation of the principies.of the
Constitution and the policy of restoration contained in
the recent annual message and freedmen's bureau veto
message of President Johnson entitle him to the conft-
.
dence and support of all who respect the Constitatien

1. That the nation owes t o the brave men of our ar-
mien and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their hero

Hiester Clymer was introduced, amid
deafening roars of cheers and applause.
After order had been restored, Mr. Cly
mer was introduced by the chairman,
when he spoke as follows:
To you, my honored friend, Mr. Presi
dent; to you, gentlemen of the Conven
tion, and through you to the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, I return my profound
thanks for the honor you have. done me.
I feel that it comes laden with vast re
sponsibilities ; that to discharge them
properly demands faith, courage, hope—
firm reliance upon the enduring principles
of our creed, and unyielding devotion to
the rights and liberties of the people. Ho
who would lead you to success should
stand unawed by the presence of usurped
power ; uninfluenced by the blandish
ments of patronage. He should be the
stern advocate of civil liberty, the bold
defender of constitutional right and priv
ilege, the uncompromising opponent of of
ficial and legislative corruption, the hear
ty supporter of all that tends to promote
the welfare and happiness of our whole
people; to develope the boundless resour
ces of this State, and advance her materi
and social prosperity. Then, too, he
should stand the avowed and undoubted
champion of the Union of these States, in
its original purity, ready and willing if,
need be, to sacrifice life itself defending it
from the assaults of all enemies, be they
Southern rebels or Northern disuniOnists
—be they bad, bold men, who have dared
bare, the sword and proclaim-their treason

dard of personal and political excellence.
But if the desire to do right may in some
measure compensate for the lack of abili
ty to achieve it -; if a sincere purpose to
be guided in every act by the supreme
Jaw of the lapd, and in all things to be
governed by the views and teachings of
the sainted heroes and patriots who

and support of the good mewf this Com
monwealth, then to them tad their ver
dict, do I appeal with unshaken confi
dence; and through you, gentlemen of
the Convention, who represent such good
ly numbers of them, I make that appeal. •
Tell them I know no higher law than the
Constitution, of which Jefferson and Mad
ison were the thunders, Jackson the de
fender, Webster the expounder, and of
which Johnson is the upholder ! Tell
them that I know no other standard of
political action than equal and exact jus-.
tic() to all, special privileges to none; that
I have no other political creed than that
given to us by Washington and Jeffer
son ; that I believe in the social superior
ity and will ever maintain the political su
premacy of the white race ; that I wor
ship at no political altar , whose founda
tions are not based upon the sacred Un
ion of these immortal States ! Tell them
in advance for me of its peril, and conjure
them by the love of past memories, by the
blood and carnage of our civil strife, by the
dangers of the present and the hopes of the
future, to rally to the support of him who
in this crisis of our country's fate, by a
mysterious Providence of God, has been
entrusted with the helm of -state! To
them he has appealed in terms of patriot
ic devotion to his whole country. Above
the wild storm of prejudice, fanaticism
and treason now raging in the National
Capital, clear and loud are heard the
words of the First Andrew, and defiantly
reasserted by the Second, " The Federal
Union, it musl be preserved." They are
the watch-words of national safety. They
embody the holiest aspirations of every
true patriot, and afford a platform broad
and strong enough for good men of all
parties, no matter how wide their differ
ences of opinion may heretof,re have
been.
Let us dedicate ourselves to this great
purpose, with unselfish and unshaken
faith, that its accomplishment will be its
greatest reward. Let us go forth, bear
ing aloft the banner of our country, em
blazoned with the words—" The Constitu
tion," " The Federal Union !" Let us ap
peal to the whole people—from the North
ern border to the Maryland line, from our
inland sea to the Delaware—and if public
virtue be not dead, if patriotism be not
extinct, if devotion to principles still lives,
if treason (though latent it may be) is
still• abhorred, then indeed, in October
next, will victory—thrice blessed victory
—crown onr effurts,bringing with it a Con
stitution preserved, a Union restored, a
land redeemed from the madness and fol
ly whtch now threaten to destroy it.
That in some measure I may be of as
sistauce in producing such results, I hum
bly pray. Upon you, gentlemen, and
those whom you represent, I shall lean for '
support and guidance, and appealing to
the God of our fathers to prosper us in al
our efforts for the redemption and salva
tion of our country, I may not doubt that
triumphant success will surely crown our
labors. (Applause.)
Messrs. Cass, Vaux, Fox, and Stiles,
who were present, made speeches warmly
endorsing the nomination, and pledging
their best efforts for the success of the
party.
The best feeling prevailed during the
whole proceedings, and the Convention
adjourned in harmony, all present feeling
sanguine of the triumphant election of
Governor Clymer.

—The President truthfully observed to
Gov. Cox, the other day, that the hope of
getting rid of the Freedmen's Bureau,
which is a sort of military government,
would stimulate the Southern people to
do right. - But, if it be made a perma
nent thing, "instead of encouraging to
loyalty, you tend to drive them to despe

know this fact, and it is that which makes

Da. J. 11. SCHENCK —Desr Sir :—For over fifteen year.
I have been troubled with a severe cough, and usually F,'i3
two or three times a year with more or less bemor.
rhage, which together, for the last few years, has kept '.i
me thin in flesh and too weak to do business of shy
kind without suffering. In August last 1. hada very PC
vere hemorrhage. and according to the judgment of a i'f
good New York physician, I was Classed as beyond the i . ..
reach of medicine, and was advised to be prepared. so LI
far as property matters were concerned, to leave this • It:
world at short notice. The physician (and ilia good
friends) said that the first inild I took must prove fatal. '.
Early in January I took a severe cold. and fortunately
was occupying rooms at No. 32 Bond - Street, direcuy
over your office. I think about tha ltith of -January 1
procured a bottle of your puimonic Syrup and Mem
menced taking it freely. My feet and linihs Were very
much swollen,,and all the symptoms of a Speedy death. , p ? seemed to aveompany my cold. I sent for m former r
physician and stated to him that I was taking
ng year ,I.
medicines, and after showing them to him, and haying
tasted of them, ike., be replied : " Yon can take them
if you like, they will do you no harm." lie said : "Yea
[
know what I told you last summer. and I say the same i;
now, if you have any business to close np. do not put it 5
off." He said to other friends that he could see no '.
hope for me. ann my friends and relations concluded p
my time had come. At this time I was taking freely of
your medicine, bat had not yet seen you. The doctor ..i
called a few times, and found me tmuch to his surprise, t•

My faith was increasing in your medicines, and I hod II i
wish to have you examine my case, and see what you 1 .
had to say. When yon first came to my room and trade
the examination, you gave me but little entourage ,
ment, but on the contrary, expressed sad doubts of my
ever being helped ont of my then seeming difficulties
The second time that yon called. finding me still gain
