BOTH BUM EL, of Zarb. POIl PROTHO0TA.nY, ' i CHARLES J. BHUNEE, of Banbury. 'Nomisatios for Congress. The Dauphin County Republican Convention nominated John B.Pucker Esq., of tli is place, for Congress, by a rote of 52 to 17. This we think, should Settle the question in favor of Mr. Packer, inasmuch as the two large counties of Dauphin and Northumberland, contain two-thirds of the voters of this Dis trict At the caso now stands Mr. Packer is nominated by Northumberland and Dauphin. Mr. Miller by Union and Snyder, forming until recently, one county. Mr. Patterson by Juniata. The Republican vote for Congress, in 1864, in Dauphin and Northumberland, was 7,103. In Union and Snyder, 8,273., In Juniata, 1, 243. B this it will be seen that the two connties which have nominated Mr. Packer polled, in 1864, one-third more Republican votes than the other three. Mr. Packer's friends are anxious for his nomination, and confident of success. ' Meeting Postponed. The Geary meeting, noticed in the city papers to be held at this place, on the 1st of September next, has been postponed until about the 22d of September next. . Due notice will be given of the exact time, next week. 37Tho Reading Mass Meeting was the largest ever held in that place. Gen. Geary was pracnt and spoke. A nnmbcr of promt, nent speakers were present and spoke from different stands. The friends of Clymcr will have reason to congratulate themselves if they can get for him the party vote at home. 3 Reports from the corn districts in all parts of the Union lead to the conclusion that the crop will be unprecedented both in amount and quality. The aggregate crop cannot fall short of a thousand millions of bushels. . ' tST A Mobile newspaper shows how ad mirable it is reconstructed by declaring that Dr. Doslie's body "boiled down, would make good soap for Yankee school-marms." Some of the Northern Democratic journals are hardly more decent in their expressions. IW Summing Up. Yallandigham, in a private conversation with a Chicago gentle man recently, summed up the political situa' tion as follows': "The only question now is whether the whale shall awallow Jonah or Jonah the whale that is, whether ihegreat Democratic party shall swallow tue hanulul of Johnson men, or the Johnson men shall swallow the great Democratic party.' In Ohio the rallying cry of tho Re publicans in the canvass is, "The Constitu tional Amendment as it is, and Johnson as he was." ' The late Dr. Dostie was the first of the loyal citizens of New Orleans to board the Union fleet after the capture of tho city in 1863, and declare bis devotion to the flag. No wonder the Southern Democratic Jour nals call him a malignant fanatic, who was unfit to live. 83?" Rev. J. W.

The whole country are aware of the man ly course pursue b, Geh. Geary, as Qover-' nor of Kansas, uauof Pierce, but few have teen hit appeal to James Buchanan not to betray his country, by adhering to a cabal of traitors who had ruled Piorco ' and nearly rained Kansas. As ah evidence of his fidel ity to principle and his remarkable foresight we reprint the following letter from Gen. Geary to James Buchanan, dated February 12th, 1857. Here,' as in, a mirror, lie seemed to foresee and to fortell the awful revenge that would punish any want of fidelity on the part. of tho Executive. He counsels James Buchanan, almost in set terms, what to do to save the public from the plots of Jefferson D ivis, and he predicts that if Jef ferson Davis is permitted to carry out his policy, "tho entire country will be Involved in calamities too dreadful to contemplate and as disastrous as any that could befall a nation." But James Buchanan was deaf to all such appeals", and General Geary, finding himself deserted by his chief, resigned his office, and was succeeded by Robert J. Walk er, another Democrat, who was sent to Kan sas in tho belief that he would prove a more willing instrument The catastrophe was completed by the Indignant refusal of that eminent statesman to do tho work which had disgusted and disheartened both his he roic predecessors. , No true Pcnnsylvanian can read this letter of Gen. Geary without recalling the whole history of Buchanan's administration, nnd without feeling a new sense Of gratitude that the citizen who, near ly ten years ago thought and wrote in this way, is shortly to assume tho Executive chair of this great State : Executive Department, 4 Lecompton, Kansas Territory Februwy 12, 1857 Hon. James Buchanan. Dear Sir ; No apology Is needed for my again addressing you, notwithstanding my last letter was written only two days ago. In that I in formed you, at considerable length, of the condition of affairs in this territory, of cer tain outrages that have recently been com mitted, of the character of tho men, mostly Government officials, by whom these out rages were instigated, and that my situation and usefulness here would depend mainly upon the support of the General Government in my endeavors to maintain the peace and promote the welfare of the Territory. Since then new devclopeuients have occurred justifying all I then wrote, and of which it is important that you should be apprised. From reliable sources information lias been received that new plans are being formed, net ouly to assassinate myself and certain members of my household, but to create a breach of the peace, which threatens to be fur more serious than the outrages that have been suppressed, and which have for their ultimate aim nothing short of the dissolution of the Union in cuse of the fail ure of tho unjust and infamous attempts that are being made to force the institution of Slavery upon the unwilling people of this Territory. Having positive assurance of the truth of such reports, which have readied me from sundry sources, and being satisfied that the danger was imminent, and that prompt uctioa was needed to avert it, I at once addressed a communication to General Per sifur F. Smith, at Fort Leavenworth, ap prising him of the facts, and asking him to send to my assistance two companies of cavalry. I made this request in accordance with unrevoked iustructions from the Presi dent, "to maintain order and quiet in tho Territory of Kansas, and if disturbances oc cur therein to briug to punishment tho of fenders ;" and with the firm belief that the assurances received by me from the same high source, that iu carrying out these in structions 1 would be aided by such military force as I might require. This belief was not in the least shaken by rumors that were rife throughout Lecomp ton and vicinity, that the 'agitators of tho pending disturbances were boasting of, and glorifying in, information they assumed to have received from Washington, that it was the intention of the Secretary of War. Jeffer son Davis, to withdraw from me all military aid and protection, and thus leave mc at the mercy of the assassins who were plotting my destruction and that of the country. Judge, then, of my astonishment upon re ceiving from General Smith, in reply to my requisition for troops, a letter continuing the worst of these bold and infamous rumors. In that letter ho not only refuses to furnish tho troops required, but cooly informs me thut I am to lie deprived of the few men that were detailed to guard the executive build ing, and the public records and other prop erty belonging to tho Government. Hesays: "All the foices here have been designated by tho Secretary of War, and are under orders for other services more distant, and even the companies near you will have to be called. There can, therefore, no longer be any room to doubt, if there were any before, the truth of the statements made to me by parties of unquestionable respectability and veracity, that the riotous men with whom I am sur rounded, and who have already created, so mnch mischief and perpetrated so manv and such heinous encouragement and support of Jeff. Davis, and others high in authority ; tnut tuese nign omciaia anticipate witu satis faction, not only new disturbances in this Territory, but a dissolution of the Union itself by forcibld means at no far distant pe riod ; and that the seizure of United States arms at Liberty, Missouri, by the ruttians who invaded Kansas, in September last, was done with their sanction and approval, and was um a preliminary step to similar atrocious and treasonable acts now in contemplation in other portions of the United States. Hence, it is with no ordinary degree of anxiety tuat 1 again call your attention to the existing state of things in Kansas, and urge upon you, as soon as you shall have assumed the Presidential office, the absolute necessity of speedy removal of the tribuleot men who employ their official positions and opportunities for the basest purposes, and to support, with all the power of the General Government, the Executive of thia Territory, whoever he mav Im in -li him i,,,,,i,.i.u forts to preserve iu peace and promote it prosperity. r Should this duty be neglected, and the parties now holding official position here, and to whom I have heretofore directed your especial attention, be retained in power by the Administration and permitted to consummate their treasonable H.;... pcod upon it that the day U not far uu'taut when the entire country will be iuvolved in calamities too dreadful to contemplate, and at disastrous as any that could lrii . nation. . .

"A grand excursion and pio-nio of the Irish Republican" Association of Chicago, came off on the )0th Inst., at Haas' Park, nine miles west of that city. . Not llcss than ,000 persons In all were present, a fair portion of whom were Fenians and their friends j but the chief attractions was announcement that Governor Oglcsby, Speaker Colfax and Gen. Logan would make addresses. The weathtf was pry.l!ous, and tho assemblage orderly. At 1, P.M. Gov. Oglesby wrfs introduced and received with great applause, and delivered an able ad dress, which was received by the assemblages with deafening cheers. srEEcn op me hon. scnuvi.ER COLFAX. The Hon. Schuyler Colfax was then intro duced and loudly cheered. He-said : I am here to respond to the noble resolu tions yon sent me. I will very briefly review the course of tho British Government to wards its during our late service nnd perilous struggle. That government made haste to recognize rebels as belligerents, and to pro vision the pirate rams they had built and sent forth to devastate our peaceful com merce. When we -asked England at the close of tho war to repair the grievous wrongs she had done, she kicked our Minis ter out of her ante-chamber. Between na tions the civil rule is better than the golden. Whatsoever England has done unto us we ought to do unto her until she repents. When her hour of trial came, and the Queen begged the President to issue a proclamation, he should have taken her own proclamation nnd said : "Here aro rebels fighting for liieir liberty, as our forefathers rebelled and fought for theirs. It is a fair fight. The rebels are clearly belligerents ; let the fight go on." I confess I was unutterably humiliated when. I read tho proclamation that Mr. Johnson saw fit to issue, instead of such an one as he should have issued. Why should not Ireland be free I She once had a Parlia ment of her own, and ought to have one now. Now, this Democratic party which has so long claimed to be tho friend of the Irishman, has gone down to Philadelphia to receive its creed lrora Andrew Johnson inm self, who will dictate it so as to suit his British fnends. Tho House of Representa tives directed the release of the Fenian pri soners held by the President of the United states, but I grieve to say that until this time the President hits failed to show even courteous respect to the order of the repre sentatives or the poople of the United States, and the brave General O'Neill is here to day under the bonds of the President, to an swer his accusers at the close of this month for loviug liberty for Irishmen. The Con grcss had been wholly upon the side of Ire land's independence, and my whole heart is with you. Soon may we have another Irish Parliament on Dublin Green. Three cheers for that hip, hipv hurrah 1 Long uuuiiiiucu upptause.j SPEECH OF GENERAL JonN A. LOGAN. After a song of "Sherman's March to the Sea," General John A Logan was announced. He said : Fellow citizens : I shall not attempt to address you at any length. Tou have heard from your Governor and from the Speaker oi t ne iiouse ot Kepresentatives, until the road is so plainly marked that no man need err in following it So far as Fenianism is concerned. I no nothins about it : but so far as your struggling for Irish independence is cpneerned, you have my whole heart on your side. Great cheering. My father was born in county Monahan, Ireland, aud struggled long for Irish freedom. He taught me the lesson, and I learned it well the lesson of undying patriotism that swears eternal eu nnty to all oppressors. Great cheering. So, then, when yon ask the true American whether he is in favor of Irish liberty and opposed to British oppression, ho lays his nana upon bis heart and swears before high neaven eternal fidelity to iriBb lnuependenc. Loud cheering.! It has been natuial for an Irishman to join tne democratic party misled by the name, My father was a Democrat. I have been u Democrat, but this rebellion changed the etulus of parties altogether. We can all sec plainly now where the line is run that parts patriots from traitors. You muBt not longer be deceived. Every friend of freedom is the Jriend ot Irish freedom, and to lovers of uni versal and impartial suffrage only can Irish patriots go to nna true menus. The man who would enslave a biack man would en slave an Irishman if he could. You have been egrcgiously mistaken in supposing that tne Slave holders have been your friends. They have despised you just as they have despised black slaves and all poor white men, and have only fed you with whisky when they wanted your votes. The neutrality of England during our war, our uovernor ana our speaker Colfax have well said, is good neutrality toward England now. It the Irish patriots want vessels and munitions of war. they should have them. We ain't afraid ot England : why should we be t The United States is a man; a man big enough and stout enough to take cure of himself, and needn't be afruid of a woman. Great cheering. Whenever the time comes that Ireland has a chance to be free, it will not bo Irishmen alone who will spring to fight for her freedom. We tell Mr. Johnson you may put your foot on the necks of IrUhmen now, but Irishmen shall havo their turn by and by. The Presi dent encouraged the poor servant girls and day laborers to give half of all their earnings to buy arms and equipments and put troops in tho field only that he might confiscate these arms, and imprison these patriot lead ers. Now, do you want any more of that sort of help "No I no I no !" Well, then you bad better give Andy Johnson and his Copperhead and rebel confederates a wide birth, and keep company with those who do stand by you, and don't betray you in the hour of your extremity. The time will come to try again, and I hope to God it will come soon. Go in and win. Fight for Irish liber ty as you fought for the American Govern ment, and you will win. Ureat cheering. J Geuerul O'Neill was loudly called for, and came forward amid the loudest cheering. After order was restored he spoke at some length, and the meeting then adjourned. A BIOGRAPHY OF lllU.S'rUat CaYl'MUII. Hiestcr Clymer was born in Berks county, Pennsylvania, in tho year 1827, of respecta ble parentage. His grandfather, George Cly mer, was one of the signers of the Declara tion of Independence. He had the benefit of a liberal education, studied law, and was admitted to practice at the Heading bar. Nothing was heard of him in public life until the year 1850, when he commenced his political career bv running for the Legisla ture on the Whig ticket in Berks county. Of course h was not elected. He, however, ran behind Gen. Win. H. Keitu, the Whig caudidate for Congress, 1859 votoa. He remained a Whig until 1856, when he joined the Democratic ranks. In 1800 he ran for the State Senate, on the Democratic ticket, to fill a vacancy j and honrr06? ',C0l"tJ that posi tion for the last all years. Hm 'c"rcli0d iu for an, evidence that Mr. Clymer was Identified with any measure, of great or publio importance. It I,,i!in-0f1f.MUkin Pt i ordinary or local legislation, except when It became tion. Involved la the maintenance of the na tional authority against tha revolutionary attempts of tho seceding State. On all such questions he was Invariably in sympathy with the rebellion. But let the Record speak for him. On the 13th day of April, 1801, the day of the rebel assault upon Fort Sumter, he opposed and voted strains! the bill for arm ing the State. See Legislative .

On the 15th of April. 18(11. afWtlin nw. of the fall of Sumter had been fired by this i i . - ., .. . ... - . . insuit to mo national nag, Mr. Clymer, witn his five disloyal colleagues, entered on the Journal of the Senate their solcm protest against the passage of the bill for arming the State. See Legislative Record for 1801, pages 003-8. In the session of 1802, during tho. dark days of the Republic, and when reverses had overtaken her armies, Mr. Clymer voted against sustaining them in the field, by vo ting against the joint resolutions of the Le gislature to provide for the collection of the direct tax levied by tne United States.

' ' ' And Inter in the session, when a bill was introduced to carry this amendment into cnect, Mr. Ulymer not only spoke against it, but wit li his twelve Democratic colleacues voted against it. See Legislative Record, 1804, page 509. . During the session of 1803, Mr. Clymer voted against joint resolutions in favor of a law to define and punish treasonable offen ses. Legislative Record, 1803, pages 204-8. During same session he voted airainst the bill to legalize the payment of bounties to volunteers. This was on the eve of the in vasion of the State, and but three months bclore the buttle ot Gettysburg. Legisla tive Record for 18G3, paaes 800-1 1. On the 0th. of March, 1803, Mr. Clymcr opposed giving Andrew Johnson, then Gov ernor of Tennessee, the privilege of speaking at the Capitol of Pennsylvania on behalf of the loyal men of the south, lie denounced him as a usurper, charged him with "up turning every principle on which this govern ment is founded ;" with having "bent the suppliant knee before the throne of power ;" and that, "for pelf or some other considera tion," he had yielded to the mcanres of the government. He further spoke of him "as a mere hireling of Federal patronage and power." Legislative Itecordof 1803, pages 370-7. On the 21st of April, 1863, he addressed a public meeting called under his auspices, and held at the Court House in Reading, lierks county. Among other violent and inflammatory language- against the General Government, he advocated the resolutions that "resistance by force to an invasion of our personal freedom is a virtue," and that "we do not approve of this war as at present conducted. Wo never did approve of it in itself." On the 24th of August, 1803, in his So merset speech, Mr. Clymcr declared that if Woodward and Yallandigham were elected Governors of Pennsylvania and Ohio, they, with Seymour, of New York, and Parker, of New Jersey, would unite in recalling from the ai my the troops of their respective States, and thus compel the Administration to call a convention of States to make terms with traitors. On the 3d of February, 1804, when Mr. Clymer was charged with having uttered such a sentiment, he failed to justify him self, and went so far as to declare that the United States then "presented a motimful spectacle amongst tho nations i f the earth." Mr. Clymcr was afterward a supporter of the Chicago platform, which declared "that after four years of "failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war," "imme diate efforts should be made for the cessation of hostilities." And his whole public career, and all his official acts and private declarations have uniformly been consistent with the above record. Ho might do to rule over South Carolina or Virginia, but never over tho loyal men of Pennsylvania. ! i: irrit a l i t v i Important Proclamation from Hie retnident In Itrgnrd l the alLock adeofJIatamorat by the Iiuperl- By the Preiident of the United States. ,' A PROCLAMATION.

Whereat, Tho United States, in accordance with their settled habits and policy, are a neutral power in regard to the war which thus afflict, the Republic of Mexico; and Whereat, It baa become known that one of tho belligerents in the said war, namely, the Prince Maximilian, who asserts himself to be the Emperor of Mexico, has issued a decree in regard to tho port of Matamoras and other Mexican ports which aro in the occupation or possession of another of the said bolligerenta, namely, the United States of Mexico, which decree is in the following words : "The ports of Matamoras, and all those of the Northern frontier which have withdrawn from their obedience to the Government, aro closed to foreign and coasting traffic during such time as the laws of the Empire shall not be therein reinstated. "Article 2.

Baird'i official rennrt nf Mia muaurra was forwarded yesterday by Gen. Sheridar. to Gen. Grant, with a respectful demand that it be made public. The report embra ces a, history of all the circumstances con nected, with the massacre, and prove con clusively that it was preconcerted and pre arranged by the rebel Mayor,John T. Monroe, the Lieutenant Governor, and others inter ested in breaking up the convention. The report l also a vindication of the course fmrsucd by General Buird, who claims to isve taken every precaution consistent with the factl then known to him, and but for the treachery of the police and rebel city and State officials it is claimed that the precau tion taken would have been sufficient. It remain, to be seen whether the President will dare refuse to allow the publication of this report and General Sheridan's dispatches to General Grant, after their publication has been demanded by General Sheridan. ' The medical officer detailed to make an official report of the killed and wounded presented the names in full, together with the character of the wounds received by tho following parties,1 viz: - Members of the convention one killed and eight wounded, or one-third of the mem bers present; white citizen, attending the Convention, two killed and nine wonuded ; total number of whites killed and wounded, 30. Colored citizens attending the Conven tion killed, 84; wounded, 110; total of colored killed and wounded, 153. Of the police, there were 10 slightly wounded, most of whom were on duty the next day. One white citizen with the police was killed. The evidence shows that the man was acci dentally shot by the police; also, that in the excitement many of the police were wounded by their comrades. In addition to the above the doctor reports ten colored men killed and twenty wounded whose names he could hot ascertain. From the best information at hand I am forced to believe that there were a great many more killed and Wounded among the colored people than have been officially reported by Dr. HartsulT. Many of tho woundbd are secreted in out-of-the-way places, and it would be impossible to get all of their names. - The New Orleans Tribune of to-day's issue says : 1 Our list, so fur as completed up to the present moment, shows a total of 878 killed and wounded among the friends of the con vention. The military commission will finish exam ining witnesses on Tuesday next, and Im mediately proceed to arrange the evidence in form. The report and evidence will cover about 1,200 pages of legal cap paper, closely written on both sides, and will prove the most damning record and solemn protest yet made public against Mr. Johnson's policy -of reconstruction, which the evidence proves must, if persisted in, end in the extermina tion of all Union men in the South. ' Judge Hasting, United States commission er, and a well known loyal Southerner, had his house fired last night by some rebel mis creant. This is the second attempt that has been made to burn him out in the course of three weeks. Two citizens were arrested yesterday by the military for threatening the lives of members of the conventicn, and making use of treasonable language under direct pressure from the President. The city government is being gradually restored to the civil authorities. Union men continue to leave the city in considerable numbers, and a great many are preparing to follow as soon as they can dispose of their propctty. But very tew who can possibly leave will remain to submit to rebel persecutions. 1'UO.U !KW OIILHAS. New Orleans, Aug. 10. General Baird's official report of the mas sacre was forwarded yesterday morning, by General Sheridan, to General Grant, with a request that it be published, together with his telegrams to General Grant. Buird's re port proves beyond all doubt that the mas sacre was pre-arrunged by the rebel Mayor, John T. Monroe, and others, who had deter mined on effectually disposing of the con vention by slaughtering its members. Tho report of the military commission will be completed by the 25th inst., and together with the evidence will cover over one thou sand pages of closely written foolscap. There is sworn testimony that secret signs and pass-words were used between tho police and the different rebel military organizations in The city, on the day of the massacro. The Boston Transerijit suggests that Andrew Johnson, like Andrew Jackson, had now better be styled tho "Hero of New Or leans." Thomas S.
