bas been done ? In Tennessee, under the
direction of my lamented predecessor, we
commenced the work Of restoration, and
we have succeeded,before 'came here; in
restoring the relationslvbich bad existed
between Tennessee and the iest of the
Union, with one exception, and that, was
the relation of representation.
RETROSPECTIVE
I came to Washington and under ex
traordinary circumstances Succeeded_ to
the Presidential'ehair. What ;lien ?" The ,
Congress Of the, United States_ _44 ad-..
journed Without . preicribing any plan. I
then proceeded as I had done in my own 1"
State, under direction- of Government, to
restore the other States; and how did
we begin ? We found that the people
had no courts, and we said to the judges,
the district attorneys and the marshals,
"Go down and hold your courts, the peo
ple need Vie tribunals of justice to be
opened.% Was there anything wrong in
that? The courts were opened. What
else P We looked out and saw that the
people down there had no mails ; they
had been interrupted and cut off by the
operations of the rebellion. We said to
the Postmaster-General, "let the people
have facilities for mail communication,
and let them begin again to understand
what we all feel and think—that we are
one people."
We looked out again, and saw that
there was a blockade; that the custom
houses were all-closed. We said open the
doors of the custom-houses and remove
the blockade. Let trade and commerce
and the pursuit of peace be restored, and
it was done. . We thus traveled on step
by step, opening up custom houses, ap
pointing collectors, establishiing mail fa
cilities, and restoring all the relations that
had been interrupted by the rebellion.—
Was there anything undertaken to be
done here that i gos not authorized by the
Constitution, that was not justified,by the
great necessities of the case ; that has
not been entirely consonant with the Con
stitution and with the genius and theory
of our Government ?
TAXATION.
One of the great principles laid down
by our fathers, and which fired their
hearts, was that there should be no taxa
tion without representation. How, then,
does that matter stand ? Who has been
usurping power ? Who hits been defeat
ing the operation of the Constitution ?
What now remains to be done to com-
plete the restoration .of those States to all
their former relations tinder the' Fedelal
Government, and to finish the gretttorde
al through a hibh we have been•passing
IL is to admit representation, Ind when
we say admit representation, at do we
mean ? We mean representation in the
constitntional and law abiding sense, as
was intended.at the beginning of the,Gov
ernment,.and where does that power lie?
What remained to be done ? One other
thing remained to demonstrate-to the civ
-
ed through the horrid ordeal of our na
tional existente, and proved that our.
Government . was perpetual. A great
principle was to be restored which was
established in our Revolution. When
our fathers were contending against, the
power of Great Britain, what was one of
the principal causes of their complaint?
It was that they were denied represevtat
tion.
: They complained of taxation, with
out representation. (Cheers.)
THE POWERS OF CONGRESS.
The Censtitution declares, in express
terms, that each }louse, the Senate and
Howie of Representatives, each acting fur
itself, shall be the judges of the returns,
election and qualifications of its
owaf em
hers. It is for each House to esttle that
question under the Constitution, and un
der the solemn sanction of an oath, and
can We believe that either House would
admit any member into its body, to
•par
ticipate in the legislation of the country,
who was nut qualified and fit to shin that
body and to participate in its proceed
ings. They have the power, not the two
houses, but each House for itself. :
The Constitution further• declares that
no State shall be deprived of its equal sufl
fine in the Senate of the United States
without its consout. .Then,
where:do we
stand ? All that is needed to finish this
great, work of restoration is for the two
}losses respectively to determine the
question. " Oh," but some will sty, " a
traitor might come in." The answer to
that is, that each. House must be the
judge, and if. a traitor• presents ,"himself
cannot either House know that he is , a
traitor (applause;) and if he is a traitor,
can'they not kid him out of the door and
send him baek, Raying to the people who

(Chee - rs,.aud a. voice, ''that's logic."
TRAITORS
Is theie any difficulty about that ? If
a traitor *gents himself to either Houie,
cannot that House say to him " No, you
cannot be admitted into this body. Go,
back ; we will iroedeuyfoni . peoPle of the,:

_And when -
the States do send 'loyal representatives;
can you have any better evidence of their

iint there is an idea abroad that one
min can be a despot, that bne mat" can be
a usurper, „ : btit that a ; Anndred!or two
hundred men- cannot be. Mr. Jefferson,
the apostle of liberty', tells as, and so
does common sense, that_ tyranuny and
despotism} can be exercised by many
more 4ig4oioisty and more tyrannically
thatrby-one:--- .
What power has your President to be a
tyrant ? What .can he. do? What can
he originate? Why they say he exercises
the veto power! (Laughter.), What is
the veto power ?,Who is your President?
Is he not elected by . the people, through
the electoral college ?
. TEE TRIBUNE OF THE PEOPLE.
The President is nothing more than the
Tribuhn of the People. His office is trib
unitial in its character. In olden times,
when tribunes were first elected in the
. -
Roman. Republic,. they stood at the door
of the Roman Senate, which was then en
croaching
on the popular rights and put
ting
the heel of power on the necks of the
people.. The people chosen Tribune, and
placed him at the door ef - the Senate, so
that when that body ventured on oppres
sive acts, he wasclothed •with, Tower -to
say forbid.''
Your President hi now the Tribune of
the people ; and, thank God, I am and in
tend to . :lsert the power which the people
have Vi-teE..il in me. (Cheers.) Your
President, standing here day after day,
and discharging his duties, is like a horse
on the tread mill, and because he dare dif
fer in opinion in regard to public.measur
es be must be denounced ass usurper and
a tyrant. Can be originate anything un
der.the veto Pt%r? The veto power is
conservative in t, character and affirma- -
tive. All that can he done by the.veto
power is to say, when legislation is im
proper, hasty, unwise, unconstitutional,
"Stay I, stop Action, wait till this can be
submitted to, the people, and let them con
sider whether it is right or wrong." (Ap
plause.)
That is all there is in it; antbence I sav
that tyranny and poWer can be exercised
somewhere else than by the Executive.
He is powerless and all that he can do is
to check legislation, to hold it in a state
of abeyance, till the people can consider
and understand what is being done. Then
NO:lathes been done ? I have .done what
I believe the Constitution required tne to
do. have done what I believed duty
arid conscience required me to do. So
believing, I intend to stick to my posi
tion, relying on the judgment, the integ
rity antithe intelligence of the masses of
she American people, the soldiers and sai
lors especially. - 0 Then, for my life, I can
not see where there is tiny tyranny. It is
very easy to impugn motives' and suspect
the purest and -best acts of a manllife.
yon catztain..t Fropos,. CI I.
tain thing, your motives are suspect and
condemned; and; if you withhold your
opinion; yon arc regarded as being oppos
ed to the matter; so that it is very hard to
move one way or the other. So far as
certain persons are concerned, on all ques
tions pertaining to the interests of the
great massett of the - Anierican people, for
in• them is my hope and the salvation of
the country, 'I am with you, citizens, sol
diers and sailors, who have sacrificed or
*homore than the humble individual
addresses you: •
Has not my all been put upon it ? My
life, ray property, everything sacred and
dear to man; have been staked upon it,
and -can I now be suspected of faltering at
the close of this third ordeal of the - nation?
Where is he, in- public or in private
who has sacrificed more, or who has de : .
voted more of his time and emetics to
the aceomplishment - of the'great end than
I ? -end I have done it-`from the prompt
ings'of my oWn heart and. conscience.
TO THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
I believe it was right; and with your
help and your countenance and your en
cotragethent I shall go trhough on that
line; and when I come to talk about sai ,
lors and soldier's, about this to be done
and thatlo he dime, all rwaot is for you'
to wait and" see, so far as the future is
concerned. Wait, and see if Ido not
stand by you, although others way falter

to treat the present circumstances than
any of these elevated patriots and human

citizens, soldiers, and sailors, let us re

that the relations of the States are about
being restored. Let us make every -effort
we can on proper principles to restore
the relations which existed between the
Federal Government and the States. _ _
I thank God that peace is restored. I

to their families and homes and resume
their peaceful avocations. I thank God
that the hateful planet of fire and blood,

us cultivate the arts and relations of peace
and all ttfose associations whiab appertain

The time is not distant when we can
have a political millenium, a 'political ju

' the nations of the earth that we are again
a united people, and that we have trium
phantly passed through our third ordeal,
having peace at home and power to bid

Against the Union and for the Negro.
The dis-Union majority in Congress,
are true to their antecedents. When we
were a united a happy people, blest with
peace, prosperity anda,mity,
.they and
their associates attacked the Union of the
States, and the Constitution of our fath
ers ; the one was denounced, the other
vilified. Concord, amity and forbearance
—the silver chords that bound our people
in clunnton destiny, were radely I sun
.clered„, and,in Abeir stead came. auareer of
vituperation, bate and bloodshed ; love
for the negro prompted its inception,anx
iety for-his freedom nerved them in their
progress, and a desire for his social eleva
tion roused them to renewed exertion.—
As the peculiar friends of the negro they
nullified the plain provisions of the or
ganic law, and violated laws enacted en
der its requirements. As his zealous ad
vocates, they now violate the elementary
principles of the Constitution, and refuse
representation to people who are true to
the laws and faithful to the government.
They were against the Union at the be
ginning, and they are but consistent in
opposing it now. They are for the negro
and against the poor white man, and their
policy of to-day is but the reflex of their
sentiments in the past. Their true rally
irg cry is: Ur WITH TILE NEGRO 4ND
DOWN wall THE UNION. They are dis-
Unionists in thought, dis-Unionists in
word, and dis-Unionists in deed.
The dis• Unionists refused to vote the
Gettysburg Heroes a Medal.
In the Senate of Pennsylvania on the
Bth of April, 1864, Senator Larnberton, a
Democrat, offered the following resolu-
tton :
" Resolved, That the committee on fin-.
ance be instructed to bring in a bill au
thorizing the governo r of this Common

The President's Speeches.
We publish the President's speech to
the soldiers and sailors, and hope it will
be read and circulated, as no other paper
in the county will be likely to print it. A
later speech to the negroes, we have not

course will copy that, unless they have a
bandoned their professed affection for the
negroes as well as for the soldiers because
the President speaks kindly to them.
Republican Love Affair.
On Monday night, the 2d inst., says
the Somerset Democrat , a daughter of Mr.
William Griffith, of Jenner township, this
county, aged abont 17 years, eloped with
a full blooded nigger, black as Erebus.—
some time after night Miss Griffith slipt
out from her father's house, met the nig
ger on the road according to previous ar
rangement, and the same night walked to
Johnstown,lB mi es distant,. with a view
to taking lie morning train for Harris
burg, where they were to be married.
Mr. Griffith discovering the absence of
the parties, and suspecting their inten
tions, proceeded forthwith to Stoystown,
the nearest telegraph office, and there tel.
egraplied to the police,at Johnstown to
arrest them on their arrival, which was
accordingly done. Miss Griffith was ta
ken to her father's house, and the nigger
was on the 4th inst. committed to the jail
of this county, to await his trial at court,
which will amount simply to nothing, as
it is no legal offence, but, purely a matter
of taste and smell. This nigger has been
in the employ of . Mr. Griffith for some
time. During the last winter he frequent
ly took this daughter and Mrs. Griffith
and other female members of the family
sleigh-riding. He mason a perfect equal
ity with.the, family—ate at the same ta
ble, slept under the same roof, and en
joyed all the rights and privileges that
Mr. Griffith's children did.
Mr. Griffith is one of the original aboli
tionists of the country, has voted that.
ticket for the last 22 years to our certain
koowledge, and • has advocated the cause
of negro equality in a zealous manner. He
often said before his family Iba!, "a negro
was plenty good enough for a poor white
girl,". and similar expressions showing the
blas_of his mind. The: daughter, having
confidence in her•father, imbibed his teach
ingevand concluded to act upon them.

Horrible murder near Philadelphia.
A family of seven persons by the name
of Dearing, were found murdered on the
I lth inst. in the lower section of the City
of 'Philadelphia, they having evidently
been killed by blows on the head with an

and plunder was doubtless the motive of

The Test Oath.
President Johnson has sent in to Con
gress a message urging the modification
of the Test Oath which Southern men are
required to swear to before they can hold
positions under the national government.
The President says that as matters stand,
it is impossible to get men to do the post
Office work, or the work of the Courts.—
It is not likely that the radicals in Con
gress will pay any heed to the President's
request. The repeal of the Test. Oath
would go a long way towards restoring
peace and harmony between the sections,
and the material prosperity of the South;
I I something which the radicals don't want

A. H. Stephens' Testimony.
Among the miss of testimony submit
ted from the Committee on Reconstruc
tion is that of Hon. A. H. Stephens. Lie
thinks that an overwhelming majority of
the people of Georgia are exceedingly
anxious for the restoration of the Govern
ment,And for the State to take ber for
mer position in the Uuion and enjoy all
her rights, and adjust / all her her obliga
tions as a State, undeti the Constitution o
the United States.
His opinion is, and the sentiment of the
people of Georgia is, that the exercise of
the right of secession eras resorted to
from a desire to render their liberties and
institutions more secure, and from a belief
on their part that this was absolutely ne
cessary for that object. He thinks that
the people are perfectly satisfied with the
experiment, and that they will never re
sort to that measure of redress ag ain. He
believes . that the only hopC for t heir liber
ties now is the restoration of the Consti
tution of the "United States, and of the
Government under the Constitntion.

We call attention to the advertisement
of the Duplex Elliptic or double Spring
Skirt. Though a recent invention, it has
become very popular, and is rapidly ob.
wining the prererrnee over other kinds in
use. The rods in it are 'composed each of
two delicate and well-tempered steel
springs, which are ingeniously braided to.
gether edge to edge, the lower rods heav
ier, and having a double covering. This
peculiarity of construction makes the skirt
very. strong and durable, and also so ex•
eeediugly flexible that it rapidly adapts
itself to the form of the wearer, and al
' lows of any amount of doublino , and
crushing without injury to its shape.—
' These skirts are unquestionably the light

which ladits, who have experienced the
discomfort and inconvenience of single
springs, will duly appreciate.
