THB SOLDIERS' CONVENTION.
The meeting of tbe honorably discharged
soldiers to select delegates to the soldiers'
Johnson and Clymcr Convention, os it is
called, at Harrisburg, on the 1st of August,
enmo off on Wednesday last, intlie County
Commissioners' room. Somo disturbance
was apprehended when it was observed that
more than three-fourths of the soldiers present
were Geary men. But when it was an
nouueed that the friends of Mr. Clymcr
only were included in the call, the soldiers
in favor of Oen. Geary very properly with
drew and organized a meeting in tlio old
Court House, the proceedings of which will
be found in another column.
Tho Clymcr meeting was necessarily
very slim affair, as far as soldiers were con
cerned. It nevertheless afforded an opportu
nity for some of those patriots who bravely
fight for office, if they do not fight for thcir
country, to show up the faults, and perhaps
errors, of those who were guilty of the
folly and temerity of going into the service
to fight against those unfortunate Southern
democrats, vulgarly called rebels, who aim
ply desired to be "let alone."
Soon after tho resolutions were read, w
observed Mr. Reimensnyder on the floor,
We did not hear much of Mr. R.'s discourse,
but what we did hear convinced us that he
was still strong in the faith of Southern do,
mocracy and Southern institutions. As
Virginian, his hatred of Yankees, whom ho
traduced, was natural. lie, no doubt, could
see more virtues in Gen. Lee, Toombs, or
even Jeff. Davis, than in any Yankee, living
or dead. He spoke of some Yankee missiona
ries or preachers, who went among the negroes
in tho South, swindling them out of their
money, or treasures on earth, witbt ut, er-
liaps, even helping them to treasures in
Heaven. All this was ceitainly very naughty
in persons wearing the "livery of Heaven."
We have no doubt he thought it bad
enough for preachers to indulge in politics,
not excepting himself, but to swindle the
poor negroes out of their hard earnings, by
Yankee preachers was villainy in tbe ex
treme especially as they had no right, Con
stitutional, hereditary or divine, to rob the
negroes of anything. Negroes were purely
Southern products, and part and parcel of
Southern institutions. And when Chief
Justice Taney decided that "negroes had no
rights which white men wcro bound to ro
spect," he evidently meant Southern white
men, else how could Yankee preachers do
wrong in plundering them. Mr. R., no
doubt, satisfied his audience that preachers
are human, as well as Yankees and negroes-
J3F"Tho Democrat, of last week, says tho
Republicans nominated Mr. Rothcrmcl as a
reward "for his services against old citizens,
to make them 'hoist the flag, &c.' " The
object of the above charge is to create an
impression that Mr. Rothermel assisted or
encouraged persons to compel Mr. Wagner,
of Little Mahanoy township, to raise tho
American flag over his house, which was the
subject of a prosecution in Court.
Mr. Rothermel requests us to say that there
is no truth whatever in tho charge That
lie can prove by democrats, neighbors of
himself and Mr. Wagner, that he not only
took no part in that matter, but that he en
tteavorcd to persuade those who were im"
plicated not to engage iu any such trasac
tion.
1 a a r
52?Hiostcr Clymer, in a speech at Read
ing recently, said "his history as a politician
was the history of the State for the last six
years, and he would not to-day alter a line
or bolt out a particle of it." In 1804 ho
voted against a resolution that the Scnato of
Pennsylvania urge upon Congress tho pro
priety of increasing the pay of the Army.
Now he asks the very men to vote for him
against whom he voted.

Tho author, Heros Von Borcke, was the

that author whose association with Addison

ISF'Soldiers' Convention. In pursu
ance of a call in the Northumberland County
Democrat, of honorably discharged soldiers,
to meet at Sunbury on the 25th inst.,' for the
purpose of electing delegates to attend the
Soldiers' Johnson and Clymer Convention
at flarrisburg, on the 1st of August, 1800, a
number of soldiers assembled in the Com
missioners' Room in the new Court House,
over which meeting Dr. Newbaker was call
ed to preside. .
It was soon apparent that a large majority,
perhaps three-fourth of the soldiers present,
were the friends and supporters of General
Geary. In order to avoid any confusion
or difficulty, Lieut. A. Brlce, of Sunbury, in
quired of the chairmain whether tho meeting
was Intended for all honorably discharged
soldiers, or only for such soldiers as were in
favor of Hicster Clymcr for Governor. The
chairman stated that the meeting was only
for soldiers favorable to Clymer. Where
upon at least three-fourth of the soldiers
withdrew to the old Court House, and or
ganized by appointing

I know you will say amen to the words I
have spoken to these young men, and give
them a parting and cheerful word as they
leave your little village of Hanover, ana
start out into that world which is not so
dark and full of bad people as baa been

RmanlveJ. That wo heartily endorse the ro-con.

loyal majority of that body, as our only guarantee
and hope of the Republic, and of the sacred princi

ability and lotting them down pretty hard.
Laughter and applause. 1 Nevertheless, as
in former parts of my life, I will try and
discharge the duty assigned to mo humbly
and to the best of my ability, and turn with
pleasure to tho men to whom wo havo been
listening witu so mucu aeiignt. lue array
of ladies and gentlemen before us, of moth

interest that is felt in you and tbe hopes
they entertain of you, now that you are
about leaving vour teachers, who havo been
filled by former experience, by the study of
books, and by association with other men,
to impart knowledge to you that will fit you
for the life beforo you. Unfortunately for
me, I was not so favored as you have been,
and I regret it now and shall regret it to the
end of time. I was compelled to pick up
what little knowledge I possess by grasping
it, as it were, through brambles, and I some
times had my hand pretty sharply pricked,
too. You have had tnoso around you who
have gladly told you everything you desired
to know, whose minds were well stored with
the richest learning of the past. And now,
young men, you must look out for your
selves. Applause. Your ship is about to
sail on an unknown sea. lou have your
charts and your compass ; see that you steer
your courso properly, that you watch your
compass, and do not allow your minds to
be turned aside by the scudding ot the sea
or the winds across your sails, but follow
your compass, and you will just as surely
arrive at your destination as honesty will
produce a good man. Applause. My
young friends, I remember that twenty-six
years ago I stood as jou now stand, about
to go forth to do whatever might fall to my
share, and I now find myself here in the
prcsenco of men who were graduates of this
college before I was born. It appears to me
almost like sacrilege for mo to stand up in
thcir presence and attempt to give advice or
instruction, and I would not presume to say
ono word had not your honored president
asked me to do it; probably for somo reason
unknown to mo. Applause nen I grail u
nted, I was told, in plain Kngiish not in
Latin riaughterl that I had finished, and

that I was so qualified, I was sent down to

I believe the best Union man present will
not doubt tUe loyalty oi Mr. fottigrew, lor
ho was loyal in 1831. He was tho only
loyal intelligent man in Charleston during
the rebellion, and he is loyal now. Mr.
ettigrew listened to our complaints that
our future looked poor, and that the only
promise held out to us was a brevet-major
commission and command of some littlo
post ou thc New England coast. Ho told
us, "Gentlemen, do not be alarmed ; there is
Providenco guides tins world, anil you
young men will yet have to await an oppor
tunity to put your talents to use." His lan
guage gave us encouragement. Tho Mexi
can war soon broke out, and I was sunt to
California, where in my wandering I saw the
first pieces of gold discovered, and watched
its magical ellect upon tue whole worm.
The discovery of that gold gave millions to
America, and I doubt much whether, if that
gold had not been discovered, the nation
would nave managed to worn out me pro
blem of finance which the war of rebellion
had raised, and preserved its present glori
ous position. That gold gave us wealth and
credit abroad, and a strength and durability
which survived the war. After some years
again went South, and all at once I paused
to see and feel in the very air that we were
upon the verge of a sectional war. I had
heard it spoken of ia Charleston. We had
laughed and joked over it at the mess table.
hud heard it discussed by politicians : I
had heard General Scott say we were upon
the eve of war ; but my mind never realized
it until the spring or summer of 1800, when
was in rtew Orleans and Baton Rouge.
Then, for the first time, I saw that it was not
all talk. That cry of wolf, wolf, meant
something, and that civil war was upon us
sure enaugh ; and what has been tho issue f
You all know it has been a short war to tho
world at large, but long enough to ns du
ring thoso dark days which formed the
early part of it. I will not review it. Let
Imtory take charge of it. All I will say is
that in that war arose men, one by one,
equal to the emergency, until the war closed
and the nation was saved. Applause.
