FOR GOVERNOR
HIESTER OLYMER,
OP RICRICS
Address of the Democrat% State
Central Committee.
To THE PSOPIE OF PENNSYLVANIA:
A civio contest, laden with grave results,
has just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of the
State, have announced their platforms and
presented to you their candidates.
The Democracy distinctly avow their
purpose to restore the Union and to main
tain the superiority of the white man.
Their opponents refuse to restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the pol
icy of the President, and again attempt
to deceive you in regard to negro suffrage.
The restoration of the Union is an issue
embracing and overshadowing all others.
If it be postponed, and agitation con
tinued, you will deny that the war was a
" war for the Union ;" you will shake your
form of government to its very base;
jeopardize the security of your national
debt; incur the hazard of financial revul
sion; fetter the developement of your. in
dustrial resources; make a desert of the
fairest portion of the republic, and aid in
elevating the negro at the expense of the
white man.
The period of reaction after great na
tional exertion is oftener fatal to free in
stitutions than the severest throes of civil
warfare, and radical disnnionists seize that
hour to consolidate your government by
amending the Constitution, and to perpet
uate their power through the political
equality of the negro.
Prolonged agitation or prompt restora
tion are the alternatives presented.
MEN OF THE KEYSTONE:
Look back upon your history, and in
the light of that retrospect determine
whether you will be led to your ruin by a
reckless disturber of the peace of your
Commonwealth, or will follow the Presi
dent by the paths of the' Constitution to
the haven of peace, order and security.
Te Democracy present to you, with
pride, their candidate for Governor; a
Pennsylvanian by birth; of revolutionary
family; pure, honest, capable; possessed
of large experience, and gifted with the
rarest qualities of the bead and of the
heart. No man need blush to follow where
Rm . = CLYMER leads the way. to

Wm. A. WALT:ACE, Ch'n
Harrisburg, March 27, 1866.-
• tThe people have a right-to under
stand the issues between. the President
and Congress, and we therefore publish
the veto message, hoping that all will read
it and form theit own conclusions. The
Montrose Republican will not print it, of
course, because it dare not, let its party
see the truth ; and such of its readers as
prefer to be kept in ignorance will be sat
isfied.
Veto No. Two.
We take pleasure .in„ presenti ng veto
message, No. 2; and hope • onr friends will
feel confident that ” some more snch"will
appear as fast as the disunion party dare
force the necessity for them. Note that
this vetoed bill was .designed to confer
upon .negroes all rights possessed by the
whites, and certain anperior privileges.
igr No effort has yet been made to pass' '
the "civil rights bill" over the veto.
Stockton of New Jersey was.onsted from
his seat, wrongfully, so as to enable the
disnnionists to gain one vote on this test
question. (He was fairly elected under
the plurality rule, adopted - by the Repub-
licans.) As Senator Foot, of Vermont,
has lately died, the radicals may defer ac
tion until they can fill both these vacan
cies. Still the veto will be sustained, un
less the fanatics get the vote of some Sen•
ator who betbre sustained the President.
If they gain one, the veto will be over.

gains one, or Wright of New Jersey re
covers from his illness seas to , enable him
to return and vote.,

to the Senate Thursday morning.
The End of the War—lts Object,
To day (3d) is the anniversary of the
occupation of Richmond by the Union
fordes, followed by the surrender of Lee
on the 9th (Sunday.) ' The people rejoiced
because they thought the ?result ,would
bring peace and Union. _-Now theleaders
of the Republican party seem to regret
the result, and are striving to keep up a
state of war, and prevent a return to Un
ion. They even denounce their own Pres
ident because-he is , - for the -Union, be
cause he insists that the fruits of war and
victory shall be what both parties avow
ed they should be, as is shown by a reso
lution unanimously adopted in both bran
ches of Congress, which we again quote
from the official record of July 24th 1801 :
Mr. Johnson of Tennessee—l ask the consent of the
Senate to introduce a resolution. The Secretary read
the resolution as follows :
Resolved, That the present deplorable civil war bas
been forced upon the country by the disunlonists of the
Southern States, now in revolt against the constitn
tionel government, and in arms around the capital;
that In this national emergency, Congress, banishing
all feelings ofmere passion or resentment, will recol
lect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is
not prosecuted on our part in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation. nor
purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights
or established institutions of those States, bet to de
fend std maintain the supremacy of the. Constitution,
and all laws made In pursuance thereof, and to pre
serve the Union, with all the dignity, eqiality. and
rights al the several States unimpaired, and that as
.00n as these objects are accomplished the war ought
to cease.
No " Diehomable Reproach."
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, a
radical organ, said on the 6th of March :
" Mr. Clymer is a thorough Pennsylva
nian—a Democrat so deeply instilled as
to have remained faithful among the faith
less in our recent party-racking troubles;
and yet not a word of dishonorable re
proach has ever been breathed.. against
him. Hiester Clymer is an able man, a
shrewd politician, and a safe and cautious
partisan leader. We do not say he is the
best man of his politics in the State,•but
we think he is one of the very few who
can concentrate the entire vote of the
Democratic party in the coming contest.
Hiester Clymer has considerable executive
ability. His experience in the State Sen
ate will enable him to appreciate and
grasp every interest of our great Com
monwealth and wield the charge with pro
priety. If elected he will make an excel
lent Democratic Governor."
Let us see, now, what negro organ - will
have the face to commence uttering "dis
honorable reproach" against the man bc
cause he is a candidate. Any man who
does so, must indeed be "dishonorable."

New manner of Voting.
The following act, regulating the man
ner of voting, has passed both the Senate
and House, and gone to the Governor for
his approval.
That the qualified voters of the several
counties of this Commonwealth, at all

The American people will speak, and, by

Andrew Johnson's Consistency.
Most of the radicals claim that' the
president has changed his yiews, btit we
are indebted to One of their leadip or
gans—the Philadelphia North American,
for this:
" The President is pursiiing a fixed line
of policy in consonance with
~ his recon
struction plan. It does not accord with
our own views, nor with those of the
great majority of the Republican party,
let we can see that .. the President is sin;
cexOenoUgh hull convictions, and that
the doctrines he now lays down are those
he has , cherished the most et his life; tho'
we bad 'hoped Aat the events of the hit,
five years bad changed theni'some what."
It is to us a great eansulatien '
that the
excitement of five - years of war has not
. disturbed the Waned of 'thii:Piesident's
mind, or made him false to the cherished
doctrines alibi life.

"Executive Mansion, March 23." •
But the..end is not here. The persist
ent falsehoods of the Disunionists forced
the President to expose their attempts to
cheat the people as to his feelings. In re
sponse to inquiries made by a couple of
Democrats from that State, the President
said that he meant by the Union party , at
this time, the party which supports his
Union restoration policy, whoever they may
be, and no others. He did not consider
those wbo opposed his policy as belong
ing tot.he Union party. Ile further Said:
"The principles of my restoration poli
cy are fundamental. No man. can approve
of my policy and that of Congress at the
same time. That is impossible. In New
Hampshire, it was claimed that both poli
cies were supported, which of course
could not be; but after the election, it
was claimed that a Radical victory had
been achieved." He trusted the people
would not now be deceived.
Siill persisting in their falsehoods, :the
President telegraphed OU the 27th as
lows:
" In reference to the elections in Con
necticut or elsewhere, I am for the candi
date who is for the general policy and the
specific measures promulgated "in my an
nual•mes3age, veto message, speech of
22.1 of February, and the veto message
sent in to-day. There canle no tnistake
in this, I presume. It is known, or can
be ascertained, what candidates favor or
oppose my policy or measures as promul
gated to the country."
We only regret that he did not soomr .
announce these views, as it would have
saved us the risk of a defeat in Connecti.
Address of the Democratic State Can.
tral. Committee.
IlAnntsnuao, Feb. 9, 1866.
To the Democracy of Pennsylvania :
The events of the last political canvass
are yet fresh in your minds.
You announced your unequivocal en
dorsement of the restoration policy. of
President Johnson, and denounced the
doctrine of negro suffrage.
Your opponents affirmed their support
of the President, and evaded the issue up
on the question of suffrage. .
A powerful organization, large official
patronage and an unscrupulous use of
money, secured to them the victory.
The record of the past month strips the
mask from the face of the victors.
They treat with derision the declared
policy of the President. They have plac
ed the government. the Constitution in
abeyance, and its legislative . and execu
tive functions are usurped by a cabal of
men, who, in obedience to caucus, govern
the nation through the forms of a direc
tory.
The right of each State to regulate the
qualifications of its electors is denied; the
will of the people of the ,District of Co
lumbia is overridden, and by an almost
unanimous vote. The Republican party
in Congress and the State Legislature, ac
cord•to the negro equal political rights
with the white man.
The iniatial step toward a war of races
bas been taken, and a consolidated gov.
ernment looms up in the distance.
The tenets of the President upon these
points are our cardinal doctrines. In sus
taining him we vindicate them.
Organize in every nook and corner of
the Commonwealth.
Organize to sustain the President, to
maintain your principles, to restore the
Union, to vindicate the snpreinacrof your
race, and to bury in political oblivion the.
men irho have been faise to the Union,
false-to •their pledges, false to the instincts
of their blood, and true alone to the mad
ness that .rules the hour.

of Assessors of the city of Albany, defen
dants in error, at the . •suit of Adam Van
Allen, plaintiff in error, and other cases.
The question presented was whether the
shares of the stockholders in the Banking
Assuciatioh created-under the acts of Con
gress, which provide for the creation of
banks i can be subjected to taxation by
the State authorities. •
Associate Justice Nelson delivered the
opinion of the court, holding. that the
shares held by individuals were not apart
of the capital of the bank, and must be re
garded.as. the personal property Of the
shareholders,. and as such subject to taxa-.
tion-by the State, within the• provisions
of the act'of Congress; but that the judg
ment of the Court below must be revers
ed.on the ground that there was a dis
crimination between the shares. of these
banks and the capital stock of the state.
• Chief Justice Chase read a minority
opinion, not being able to concur that the
State had the power claimed, which was
an indirect mode of taxing the national
securities, which was not authorized or
intended to be authorized by Congress.
