proceeded to inquire whether or not gov

aluKot unanimous vote of all the uic ru
bers who sustained the war, has proposed
sundry amendments to the Constitution
of tin Unite! Siuic, to bo tubniitted ts
I the State Legitiiatureb for ratifieatijn :
jau l wi!1 Lb tLe du!y u' lhe W'"-lre

, r the ,oruls fixeJ bS C"0r oa
h;ch the States lately iu rebellion aud
their people can resume their practical re-
lations to the National Uuion. These
terms may be stated briefly as follows :
1. That all persons born or naturalize!
ia tiis United States thall bo citizens
thereof; and that all citizens shall have
equal protection in the enjoymeut of life,
liberty and property.
2. That representation shall be appor
tioned among the States according to
numbers, but that classes disfranchise!
without crime shu!! net be counted iu fix
ing the basis of i-'edor.l rcpieseutation.
3. That ail who are guilty of treason
and perjury shall be ineligible to office,
unless the disability be removed by a
two thirds vote of Congress.
4. That the validity of the ua'ional ob-
!:. - . : i : . i...ti .. . i. . !
iigauuus lucuuc-u iu me w.u snail not uc
questioned, aud all rebel debta and claims
lor slaves shall be void.
The States of Tennessee, Connecticut
and 2ew Hampshire, by the action of
their several Legislatures, have already
ratified these amendments by very large
mr.joritics. Our friends iu Congress and
out of Congress, are united iu the con
viction that these terms are pre eminently
magnanimous, wise aud just ; that they
are th? legitimate fruits of the war, and
essential to our peace and security for the
future. I!y the storms of civil war some
of the landmarks made by our fathers
wero ttikeu away, and some of the ancient
foundations laid by them were moved.
Let us wisely re adjust them, so that our
t. -i.p!e of libc. ty may stand upon the '
broader aud firmer foundations of univer
sal libsrty atid impartial justice.

the rspresentative men of these cvcnttul
times. As a civilian he has IiUcd wi'.n
ability and distinction many inportant
pubiic positions) requiring intelligence
discretion, and the highest order of integ
rity and administrative ability. He Las
been a farmer, a teacher, a civil engineer,
a lawyer, and a manufacturer. lie has
served the people as postmaster and as
mayor of a ci'y, as judge of a court, and
as Governor of a Territory. As a volun
teer soldier hs is the pride of his com
radts, and an honor to his State. He
went out Iron) home to the Mexican war
js a captain, and came back with honors
as the colonel of his regiment, lie en
tered the service in the late rebellion as a
colonel, and fought it all the way through,
having been promoved to the exalled
rank of major General "for jitiuts torom

valiant and faithful soldier was present at,
ar.d pitlcipaSeJ. ij eixty ba'.il, w?
four times wouuded in action, but itver
once defeated. lie made the entire cir
cuit of the rebel Confederacy, and fought
its authors and defenders from every State

tir.-t lorn son, killed in battle; he has
periled his life and shed his blood for the
llag aud cause of our country, and he beats
upon his person the honorable sears from
many a well fought field. Such is the
cau didate presented for the sufirages of
the loyal and patriotic voters of Penn
sylvania. As a competitor the Democratic party
has presented the Hon. Hiester Clymer.
He, too, is a representative man; but it
iii of his party, rather than of his country.
His platform aud his campaign thus far,
may summarily comprehended in the
phrase :' Up with the rebel and down
with the negro." He is a lawyer by
piol'c.-siou ; and it is believed he never
held any office, except that of State Seti
ator. His public record, therefore, is a
short one, and consists entirely of his
votes and speeches duriug Lis Senatorial
career. Luf that term cavers the entire J cot, in conformity with its own provis
periud when the country was torn by a j ions, be amended nyi;! ,'.' ISO'.. It is
distracting and bloody civil war; and
when the State wa lavishly contributing
her blood and treasure, for her own de
fense, ana for that of the Natioual Gov
ernment. In this tremendous struggle,
I where did Hiester CIvmcr mud? And
what did he do ? He has made his rec
ord, and let it answer.
In ISol he voted agaiuft the bill for
the arming of the State ; and alter the
news of the attack on Fort Sumter had
fired the hearts of our people, and thou-
s:auds were rallying to the defense of our
insuhed flag, Mr. Clymer caused to be
entered upou the journals of the Senate
hU solemn protest against the till for
arming the Stare.
Iu 18ij2, when reverses had overtaken
our armies, and our cifiJit wa- strained to
the utmost to keep men iu the field, Mr.
Ciymer voted against the joint resolution
providing for the collection of the tas.es
j levied by the United Stales.
In lStjd Mr. Clymer voted against the
bill to enable our soldiers and sailors to
vote, when absent iu the service.
Iu IS'dlhe dodged the vote on tho
proposed constitutional amendment allow
ing soldiers in the field the right to vote,
aud alter said amendment was passed he
voted against the bill to carry it into
effect.
lie voted against the bill to define and
punhth cfi"euse3 of a treasonable charac
ter aud against the bill to legalize the
payment of bounties to volunteers.
In February, 1SG1, ia a speech in the
Senate, r fcrring to the recent defeat of
Vallandigham in Ohio, and of Woodward
in Pennsylvania, Mr Ciymer said : "I say
now and believe that it was the greatest
calamity that has yet befallen this coun
try that those two men were not elected."
Such is an out outline cf the inglo
rious record of Ilicster Clymer, arid by
if, as he declared on a recent occasion.,
he is determined to stand. His whole
public career and all his official acts aud
public declarations of opinion have beeu
uniforjily consistent. His iccord may be
searched iu vain for a vote or sentiment

watch-words are '-Silence," ' Obedience,"
'Vigilance." It is a pity th? great li-ht
of these magnanimous jatriots should be
longer concealed under a bushel, and
that they can Cud nothing more important
to do in this great crisis of our country's
fate. But forewarned should be fore

raised up and brought upon the track
