DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
The Democratic State Convention (or the nomina

Judge of the Supreme Court, will meet at 12 o'clock
a. on Wedneaday, July 14,1866, in the Hall of Rep
resentatives at HarrUbnrg. By order of the Demo

DAVID CALDWELL, Secretary.
April 14, 1860.
Andrew Johnson.
Ex-President Johnson, far from being
dead, gives his opponents full proof of his
vitality. The Radical press have lately
tAking to misrepresenting Mr. Johnson's
utterances, which is the best proof that
they have no other way of meeting them.
His speech at Knoxville, Tennessee, as re
ported in the papers of that State, differs
widely from some versions of it that have
been current here. Indeed, there are few
men whose speeches show greater vigor
than Mr. Johnson's and many of his mes
sages and State papers will stand compari
son with the best efforts of the same kind
that have emanated from any of his prede
cessors in the Presidency. At Knoxville
Mr. Johnson thus defined his position':
"I stand now as I stood then, battling
for the Union and the Constitution of our
fathers, but where do some of them stand
now ? I told them that the true place
to fight the battle was in the Union and
under the Constitution. So I told Jeffer
son Davis when he left the Senate. After
the battle of Bull Run the country was dis
mayed, and five thousand troops marching
into Washington could have taken the cap
ital ; and to restore confidence Mr. Critten
den introduced a resolution in one House
and I in the other, declaring the war was
waged for the Union and the Constitution,
and that the States had no power to secede.
That they were not out of the Union, and
could not go out of the Union. Well, we
fought the war. We conquered, and the
defeated bowed to the deoision of war and
renewed their allegiance to the government.
Was not this all we wanted ?
It has been said, and was true, that I had
been maltreated, persecuted and insulted,
and when I came into power the malicious
said : Now he will carry out his own doc
trines ; his passions will be his guide, and
he will seek revenge." Thank God ! I
am a man that, when fighting, will fight to
the last; but when I have conquered, and
my foe is prostrate, thank God ! I have
too much magnanimity not to lift him np.
•****
It is very easy for men to come in our
midst and talk about rebellion, courage and
Union, who, while the rebellion was going
on, were not within the smell of gunpow
der, but were in their closets or some secret
place, and became war men when the war
was over?
I could tell some secrets concerning the
state of affairs. Here it was dangerous for
a man to be a Union man ; there, where
these men came from, they dare not be
anything but loyal. I should like to take
up my sacrifices and compare with these
neophytes.
Sentenoe of a Negro Fiend.
Some few weeks since, when we read
an account of the ravishing of three little
girls by a negro at Chauibsrsburg, in this
State, we felt rather inclined to the opin
ion that the story had been exagerated.
The fiendish brutality attending the ease
was such as to make the mention of partic
ulars disgusting; so that a simple short
paragraph making the announcement found
its way in some of the papers. We find
the conclusion of this hellish deed sum
marely disposed of in another (brief notice
as follows;
"CHAMBKBSBUBO, Pa., April 22. —Cain
Norris, negro, arrested about a month since
charged with ravishing three white girls,
was convicted to-day and sentenced to so
litary confinement in the Eastern peniten
tiary for thirty-five years. The trial lasted
three hoars, and the jury rendered a ver
dict of guilty without leaving the box."
STTLX, MAKING TREASON ODIOUS. —Grant
has removed one of the most gallant Union
Generals from the Governship of New Mex
ico, and appointed C. C. Crow, an unre
constructed rebel, in his place. General
Mitchell, who is displaced, bears on his
body the scars of no less than sixteen
wounds received in the service of his coun
try. In one of the battles of the West,
General Mitchell defeated a rebel force un
der Crow, capturing a large number of his
men. Now Crow has captured Mitchell, in
the campaign which is being carried on un
der Grant. General Mitchell is a gentle
Plan of high intelligence and the strictest
integrity. He has made a most excellent
Governor, and the affairs of New Mexico
have prospered greatly under his control.
The strange par t of all this is, that this
mMn of "making treason odious" is heart
ily endorsed by the entire Radical press of
the country. Now, suppose Seymour had
been elected President and he had appoint
ed such men aa Crow and Longstreet to of
fice, wonldn't there have been a lively howl
from these same patriots ? ' 'Consistency
thou art a jewel!"— JEjr.
The Consul to Marseilles.
Mr. Frederick Coxe, of Philadelphia, re*
ctnUy received from President Grant t Ire
appointment of Consul to Marseilles. He
is * director of the Union League, a man
of'means, ffifceupies a high position in soci
ety and has'alwuys l>een "loiL" He is one
of those dainty duoks so greatly admired
by the bon ton geese of the Quaker City.
He has wealth, social position (/. e.. as seen
by Philadelphia optics), wears lavender j
kids, and his presence is redolent of the J
odor of that peculiar sanctity which (listin- |
gui.dies the radical'moralist of tho present
tlayj In short, until lately, Coxe lias seoiu
ed to Philadelphia eyes, to be a paragon of
"loil" excellauce, the incarnation of the at
tributes of a gentleman, and a perfect pink
of Christian loveliness. He was one of the
plauets iu the solar system of the League,
around which revolved tho lesser lights,
and many a miserable lunatic felt a glow
of pride as the sunbeams of t!i<- luminous
Coxeian smile fell upon his opaque coun
tenance. Fashionable society adored liiin.
Mr. Wliyto Kid thought him perfectly
"eliawming." Miss Arabella Honiton Haut
ton pronounced him "so nice and pious."
So that to the olfactories of the Philadel
phia "loil" aristocracy, liis presence gave
but
'•Sabean ixlori from the sjiicy shore
Of Arable the bleat."
The politicians, too, admired Coxe, As
many of them are "roosters," doubtless, .
"a fellow feeling made tlicni wondrous
kind." They, according, prevailed upon |
President Grant to give him an office. He
was appointed Consul to Marseilles. We j
can imagine what a flutter this created !
among the Leaguers and in Philadelphia
'flipper tbn" society. How the saints of
Broad street praised Grant for his piety in
selecting this eminent Christian to repre
sent the government abroad ! How flic
fat dowagers of the "loil" aristocratic cir
cles smiled serenely at the thought that the
President and the politicians are under the ,
control of their social set ! How Bokor
felt the divine afflatus raging in his breast,
and how "Morton McMichael" gloried in
the luck of his fellow fisherman ! But the j
joy of the League and the exultation of the 1
best Philadelphia society were, in this in- j
stance, suddenly terminated. The cup was
rudely, almost violently, dashed from the
lips of unsuspecting "Inilty." Mr. Coxe,
Mr. Frederick Coxe. Consul to Marseilles, !
Director of the Union League, to is Uiscor
ered to be the smallest kind of a thief, and was 1
arrested the other day, while on his way to j
his house, irith a box of stolen c'ajurs under '
his arm He at once confessed his guilt,
acknowledged that he had been engaged in
similar pilfering for years, and on consid
eration that the merchants from whose
he had abstracted the articles, would
not push legal proceedings against him, he
paid them the sum of §500.00. And thus
the Union League and the hint ton of Phil
adelphia "loilty" have lost an idol and
Grant his Consul to Marseilles. — Patriot.
Backing One's Friends
The Scrantbn Republican i.s responsible
for the following slashing onslaught upon
the extravagant members of our Radical
Legislature.
"What little shreds of virtue the Legis
laturehas boasted, seem to have been main
ly in the Senate. But they are few and
weak at best, and make but a feeble stand
against a determined eabel of sorruption
its. The bold front which the Senate on
Wednesday presented against the pasting
and folding iniquity turned to base com
plicity yesterday, and the Appropriation
bill was put through, carrying in its belly
the whole crew of illegal pasters and fold
ers—the Forty Thieves of this thieving ses
sion. There was no shadow of legaJ au
thority for the appointment of these twen
ty-Boveu fellows, and they have never
earned a cent for the State. Paying them
is simply bare-faced robbery, in whieh
every member who voted with the majori
ty on the Appropriation bill is a shameless
accomplice. We shall print the list of
Ayes and Noes as soon as we can git hold
of it." i
The beauty ami strength of the above
"opinion" are enhanced by its extreme
truthfulness. But the Republican, and
other Radical journals, advocated the ele
vation of the very men who are now so
openly accused of robbing the people,
while the Democratic press was warning
our citizens against the corruption and ex
travagance whieh was in store fur them.
In the history of our State there lias never
been a more licentious and unscrupulous
body of men brought together than that
which compose the Legislature of Pennsyl
vania. Each day furnished evidence of
the fact, and the people can form a just
estimate of the characters of their legisla
tors from such paragraphs as we have re
produced, from time to time, from the
Radical papers. Thing must be peculiarly
bad at Harrisburg when they olleiid the
sensibilities of such journals as the Scran
ton Republican, Rut "when things are at
the worse they mend," and we have reason
to hope that the experience of the past will
not be lost upon the people at the fall elec
tion.—Luz. Union.
ARE WE TO HAVE A FOREIGN WAR.—IT
would appear from the doings and sayings
of the "powers that lie," at Washington,
that wo art? soon to engage in several gigan
tic wars with foreign nations. First we are
to take Cuba froiu Spain, and to that end
the Secretary of the Navy is fitting up all
the monitors and other war vessels belong
ing to Uncle Sam. and in addition, we are
told that the President lias sent an agent
on a secret mission to Cuba, wo presume
for the purpose of oonferiug with the "trai
tors." Then again Old Zaek Chandler, of
Michigan, of "blood letting" notoriety,
electrified the country, on Monday, in a
speech in the Senate, in which he declares
we must seize and confiscate Canada to
satisfy our claims against England for
damages done by the Alabama. Upon
