BLANK DEEDS Fr snlo nt t.!ii-Ofii BLANK MORTGAGES. For s:il 'tt this Office A DIOGRAPIIY OF HIESTSR CLYMER. Hiester Clymcr was born in Rcrks county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1827, nf rpsnfrhiVilrt nn rf n t:i rr TTn had the ofibfit of h jjbcral education, studied law, and was admitted to practice at the Read ing bar. Nothing vras heard of him in public life until the year 1850, when he com menced his political career by running J'for tho Legislature on the Whiz ticket in Derk3 county. Of course he was not elected. He, however, ran behind Gen. Wm. II. Keim, the Whig candidate for Congress, 1,G09 votes. He remained a Whig until 1S5G, when he joined the Democratic ranks. In 1SG0 he ran for the State Sen ate, on the Democratic ticket, to fill a va cancy ; and he has represented his coun ty in that position for the last six years. The Legislative Record, of this period, will be searched in vain for any evidence that Mr. Clymcr was identified with any measures of great or public importance. It shows him as only taking part in or dinary or local legislation, except when it became nccesary to speak or vote on the great questions inlovcd in tho mainten ance of the national authority against the revolutionary attempts of the seceding States. On all s uch questions he was invariably in sympathy with the rebel lion. Rut let the Record speak for hitn. On tho 12th day of April, 1SG1, the day of tho rebel assault upon Fort Sumter ho opposed and voted' against the bill for ; arming the State. Sec Legislative Re cord for 1SG1, pages 84o-o, occ. On the 15th of April, after the news of the fall of Sumter had been received, and the Northern heart had been fired by this insult to the national flag, Mr. Cly mcr, with his five disloyal colleagues en tered on the Journal of the Senate their solemn protest against the passage of the bill for arming the State. Legislative Record for 1SG1, pages 002-3. In the session of 18G2, during the dark days of the Republic, and when reverse had overtaken her armies, Mr. Clymer voted against sustaining them in the field, by voting against the joint resolutions of the Legislature to provide for tho collec tion of the direct tax levied by the Uni ted States. See Legislative Record fur 1SG2, j)ages 154-5. On the 0th and 10th of April, 1803, on the consideration and final passage of the bill to authorize those ia the military and naval service of the United States to vote, he voted with hjs Democratic col leagues against every section. Same, pc"s 808. In the session of 1SGL on the 9th cf March, upon the joint resolutions propos ing an amendment to the Constitution authorizing the soldiers to vote, Mr. Cly mer being present dodged; and in the af ternoon of the same day, having asked leave to record hi3 vote, the Senate re fused. See legislative Record, 18G1, qages 335, 311. And later in the session, when a bill was introduced to carry this amendment into effect, Mr. Clymcr not noly spoke a gainst it, but with his twelve Democratic colleagues voted against it. See Legis lative Record, ISO 4, pages 500. During tho session of 18G3, Mr. Cly mcy voted against joint resoultions in fa vor of a law to define and punish treason able offenses. See Legislative Record, 18G3,;ac 201-8. During the same session he voted a gainst the bill to legalize the payment of bouuties to'vcluutecrs. This was on the eve of the invasion of the Statex and but three months before the battle of Gettys burg. Sec Legislative Record, 1SG3, pa ges 800-11. On the Cth of March 1SG3, Mr. Cly mcr opposed giving Andrew Johnson, then Governor of Tennessee, the privilege of speaking at the Capitol of Pennsylva nia on behalf of the loyal men of the Suth. He denounced him a3 a usurper, charged him with "upturning every prin ciple on which tlm government is found ed j" with having "bcut the suppliant knee before the throne of power;" and that, "for pelf or some other constdertion," he had vielded to the measures of the "overnment. He further snokn of himlKCta military "as a mere hireling of Federal patronaso and power." See legislative Jiecord, 1SG3, van-'s 37G-7. On tho 21st of April 1SG3, he address ed :i ruiblic meeting called under his aus- i - l l.ll .1...

J I . Mr. Clymcr wn afterward n supporter! 1 cf the Chica-o platform, which declared 1 v j "that after four years of 'failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war,' 'immediate efforts should be made for tho cessation of hostilities.'" And his whole public career, and all his official acts and private declarations have uniformly been consistent with the abovo record. He might do to rule over South Carolina or Virginia, but never over the loyal men of Pennsylvania. Gen. Grant's Position. The Chicago Republican, in a letter from its reporter, who was with the pre sidential party, iu its recent attempt to maie capital by traveling through the Northern States, ma-Tes the following in- tcrestincr statement m connection with Gen. Grant's refusal to present himself to the soldidcrs who attempted to call him out iu advance of the President's arrival at Cincinnati: "He felt that it was, abovo all things, desirable for officers, of the army to avoid participation in ordinary political conflicts, except it was their duty as citizens to sup port only men who could show a record of consistent loyalty. Whether a man's sentiments were Johnsonian or Republi can, he said ho felt that it was an insult to any loyal man to ask him to vote for any candidate who was not a loyal man in 1801. "In this connection he said that, with out expressing any views of his own for or against the Johnson policy, he yet felt it to be a misfortune for Mr. Johnson that the advocate; of his policy in the states through which he had just passed, Mis souri, Illinois, and Indiana, had in some instances put on their ticket men who in 1SG1 and 1SG2 had been guilty of known disloyalty io tho government; because (and thi3 was said in a very emphatic manner) he felt that to ask men whose sons had shed their blood for the Union to vote for men who had been disloyal to it, was the greatest insult that could be of fered. Southern men ho could make al lowances for, and he could ride through the South and get out on a platform and shake hands in friendship with such men as Lee, Johnsou or Forrest, because, though they had been almost educated into secession, they were now truly hon est and loyal in their adherence to the Union, and were seeking to strengthen it. Rut he did not feel that way toward north ern men who had once been disloyal, and neither desired. to associate with them nor have thetn for his friends. No such men should have his support, nor ought they to be supported by 31 r. Johnson's friends throughout the northern states. He par ticularly instanced, a3 a specimen of this objectionable class of men, Hiester Cly mer, the democratic candidate for Gov ernor of Pennsylvania, sayiug that to ask any soldier to vote for such a nan, of at one time known disloyalty against another who had served four years in the Union army, with credit to himself and beucflt to his country, was a gross insult. If men desire to support Mr. Johnson's policy let them, but, at all evcnt3, let them vote only for such men as were true to their country in 1SG1." " Hy Policy" Successful. The Memphis Post says: An Alabama correspondent writes U3 that Dr. Hoy, a peaceable, respectable and highly intelligent geutlcmau, who has re sided iu that State for twenty years, and who has practiced medicine in and near Elytonr Jefferson couuty, for a long time, came into Decatur a few days ago a refugee from his family and home. The Doctor, who was always a staunch Union man, committed the unpardonable sin of acting as surgeon to a regiment of loyal Southerners, and had charge for a time of the hospital at Chattanooga. When tho war closed he returned home and took up agaiu the practice of his profession. Last month he and another Union man went to attend the Union meeting held at Houston, Wisconsin county, Alabama. They started, but never reached there, as some of the " Peace Regulators" pursued them, and Dr. Hoy had to flee for life. ! He returned to Elyton, where he was in formed by tho citizens that ho must'leave the place immediately, which he did. , The Doctor has gone to Nashville to i . escort to brin-r out his fami- ! 'j au1 moveable property. A Ect Worth Knowing. One of our citizens, of Republican ante cedents, who had become dissatisfied with :lhn nr.iih in m r.trtv ntwl Im.

Conner, aFoldicr who was woun ded and captured at tho battle of Chicka mauga, and suffered all tho horror of re bel prison pens, except death, has been removed' from the office of postmaster at North Vernon, Jennings county, Ind., and a stay-at-home supporter of " My Policy" takca his place. Mr. Conner publishes fifteen reasons why ho was re moved, all of which are conclusive against his holding an office under tho present Administration. Wo copy the following portion of them : G. I am removed because I do not sup port the infamously rebel Democratic par ty, which systematically tried to murder me for fifteen long, dreary months, by starvation and exposure. 7. I arn removed because I do not sup port tho Democratic party, which starved me, three days and nights, at Florence, South Carolina, for refusing to point out" to them the modc3 of escape of some of my comrades. 8. I am removed because I do not sup port the Democratic party, which caused me to be shot at Chickamauga, and bo cause I shot some of said Democrats. 9. I am removed because I do not sup port the Democratic party, for robbing mc at Richmond, Virginia. 10. I am removed because I do not sup port tho Democratic Johnson party, whose members shot at and starved mo at Dclle Isle. 11. I am removed becauso I do not sup port the Democratic party, one of whom tried a second time to shoot me in Smith's building at Richmond.' 12. I am removed because I do not sap port the Democratic party, which endeav ored to frcczo me to death daring the winter of 'G3-G1, at Danville, Virginia. 13. I am removed because I do not sup port the infernal and treasonable Demo cratic party, which came near starving mo at Charleston, South Carolina. 14.

Chicago Post. Editing a Paper. Editing a paper is a very pleasant busi ness. If it contains too much political matter, people wont have it. If it contains too little, they wont have it. , If the type is large, it don't contain o nough reading matter. If the type is small, they can't read it. If we publish telepraph reports, folks say they are nothing but lies. If we omit them, they say wc have no enterprise, or suppress then for politicul effect. If we have in a few joke3, folks say wo are nothing but a rattlehead. If we omit jokes, they say wc are an old fossil. If wo publish - original matter, they blame us for not giving selections. If we publish selections, folks say wcaro lazy for not writing more and giving them what they have not read ia some other paper. If we give a man complimentary no tices, wo arc censured for being partial. If wc do not, all hands eay we are gree dy hog. If we insert an article that pleases tho ladies, men become jealous. If we do not cater to their wishes, the paper is not fit to havo in their house. If wc attend church, they say it is on ly for effect. If wc do not, they denounce na a3 de ceitful and wicked. If we remain in the office and attend to business, folks say wc are to proud to mingle with our fellow3. If we go out, they say wo never attend to business. If we do not pay all bills promptly, folks say wc are not to be trusted. If we do pay promptly, they wy wo ftolc the money. If we wear poor clothes, they say busi ness is poor". If we wear good ones, they say wo aro a spendthrift. Now what is a poor fclloAY to do? President Johnson, in all the speeches made during his late tour, had much to tay about the Constitution, and the care to be exercised over it. In his Nashville speech, made in September, 1SGI, he had some remarks on thj same subject, but ia a totally different vciu, a3 the reader will judge: " When you find a man anywhere prat ing about the Constitution of the Uuited States, sjwt him he's u traitor." Gov. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, was one of tho bravest heroes of tho war ngainst the rebellion A gentleman who was in troduced to him the other day, observed, as he took his left hand, that be had lost his right arm. " Yc?' d the Govern or in reply, " I attended a convention at Gettysburg in 1SG3, and met aSouth ern delegate who was very anxious to walk arm in-avr.i with me, and when yo separated I found that tho embraeo had been rather costly." Tho remark was quietly made, but suggested a world of valuable reflections. Look out for gloomy countenances and elongated visions about tho Pth of October. Tho Democracy aro doomed to tho great est walloping they ever received. SZ?" Patriots, remember Tuesday ; g'vJ thst day to your covi.;tiy. i
