PDbunionists."
The copperhead j urnale, the New York
World aud thoWetas leading off, in the rc-
ports of Cloognss, classify nearly all tho re
publicans io-both houses as "diAunionists."
Who are these men who arc called "die.
unionists ?" •
They have all stood stoutly by the Union
during the war. Some of them, in Con
gress, have voted men and money to put
down the rebellion. Some of thcm, by in
spiring speeches throughout the country,
have roused the patriotism of the people.
Many of them, whose age and circumstan
ces fitted them for service, have taken the
field and fought for the Union. They have,
with their party, carried the war • through.
They have subdued the rebellion, Every
where, and at all times, they have devoted
themselves to the service of the country in
its extreme peril, And they have saved the
country. If tiley are •'disunionists," then
the , 300,000 martyrs of the Union artny, P
who sleep io southern graves, were "dis-
unionists."
And"who are these editors, who aro the
speakers, what are the newspapers that
east this epithet of "disunionist?" What
were they doing during the war?
In Coneess they voted against furnish
ing men and none,/ for the war. Oa the
stump they denounced the war, ridiculed
the soldiers, opposed the draft, encouraged
resistance` 'it and desertion, denounced
the "'palmy" of the administration, urged
that the war on their 'southern bretl•ren"
should instantly stop, olamored for the rec
ognition of the confederacy, decried the na
tional currency and daprociatml the federal
bonds.
These are the newspapers that steadily
sided with the rsbele during .the war, mag
nified rebel successes, undervalued Union
victories, opposed every . measure calou'at
ad to unite and strengthen the North, anu
to divide and conquer the rebels, and day
by day wroje and printed whatever a malig
nant ingenuity could invent to damage the
Union nature.
In their party conventions they approved
the theory of secession, denounced coercion,
proclaimed, the Union administration a tyr
anny and a despotism, opposed every war
measure, and even eo.late as 1864, in their
great national convention at Chicago, sol
emnly pronounced the "war a failure,%
saying thereby that the rebel States were
out of the Union and the confederacy ought
to be'recognized as au independent govern
ment.
In short, these men wore active traitors,
giving in re aid and comfort to the rebolB
than they received from all other sources
combined.
And. now these miserable Odes turn
round and call the men who fou _lit the war
through, and saved the Union, "(Usunion
ids !"
I. Ma this tbu sublimity of impudence ?
Stir General Geary was recently interro
gated by a number of prominent'citize,ns el
Allegheny county in regaid to his views
upon the subject of the enactment of it gen
oral Railroad, law for the State, ant wheth
er ho would oppose railroad monopolies—
partiadar reloronee being made to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Uonapan j. The
General has written a reply affirming that
he is opposed to railroad monopoly, and
that it he should be elected Governer he
would recommend the passage of a general
law for the construction of railroads 111111
would sign such a bill if vaned. It thu.•
appears that ho is not at all inclined to ex
ert official influence in favor of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which is in
some quarters reputed to be concerned in
almost every impOrttnt levislative proposi..
time. Iliestn (Avner, the Democratic can•
didate for Governor, is intimately interest

connection with the Atlantic and Greet
Western corporation, has become the gt ca:
rival of tho Pbrinsylvania Central. The
advantage of Gears's .position is that ho
entirely clear of all railroad interests anti

most important ohm to the people of this
county. of any they are called to pace upon
Übe District is populouit and wealthy, made
so by mesas of its mineral resources, and
the ooniluuanee of her prosperity depends
very much upon the kind, of tariff we aro
to have upon iron, none but a true friend
of home industry should .be 'permitted to
represent us; and it is certain that among
our large and thriving population a man
thoroughly acquainted with the interests of
the district, and able and capable of advo.
eating them with a' will' and purpose, can
be found willing to accept of the position.
It has heretofore been the custom with our
candidates for representative honors, dur
ing the canvas, to promise much, and when
elected, to perform nothing.
Politicians without honesty or honor, ex
°opt such aa attached to their names on the'
eoversoto Public Documents, have ruled
long enough. Fe want a high tariff for
the benefit of our laboring- and producing
population. The old radical, free trade,
' slave worshipping policy, is worn out and
exploded—that a high tariff was for
the benefit of manufacturers alone. True
they can and will invert• their Capital in
manufacturing more readily under a' high
tariff, when it pays best. We insist upon
a tariff for the benefit of laborers. When
our manufactories and fathoms aro In full
operation they have Constant employment
at good wages; money is plenty, traders do
a good business, and get their pay instead
of loosing their bills. Farmeu get good
prices in cash for their produce, without
being subjected to freight and eommies'ons
to sent it in a foreign market. The price of
land is enhanced by the general prosperity ;
the benefit of one Furnace where the pro
prietor will be able to save 85009 or 86000
including interest on his capital, to the
neighborhood in which the same is located,
will be six times that amount divided be
tween the laborer's. The merchant, the
farmer, the miller. the butcher, and others
who furnish supplies of various kinds for
the growing town around such works, with..
out calculating the rise in price of Real Cr.
tate, whioh every person in the country hes
an interest in ; for the there valuable an
acre of land becomes, the larger amount of
taxes must be paid by the owner thereof
Let tho people of this district look around
them and Bee it their experience does not
teach them that politioians who atsert the ,
high tariffs are for the benefit of the few
are pursuing the wrong course and one, too,
directly against their interests. During
the last few months our Iron weeks have
been sleek, owing to the facilities for im
porting foreign iron, and the consequenee
have boon that, many men era out et em
ployment, and deprived of the means of
subsistanco, or forced to seek credit and
rue up bills for groceries and provisions
which they never can pay. Our people
have been wrongly educated on the tariff
question by designing politicians, for their
own benefit. It is time to look at this mat
ter in its proper light and remedy the de.
foots.
THERE IS not a Copperhead journal in
the State to-day, but what is groaning be
neath the weight of Hipster Clymer's nom
ination. He is the most unwieldy card ev
er dealt by the Democratic trioksterg, and
is to all intents and purposes, a w of blanket
on the hopes of his friends.
CONGRESS has decided that none of the
forts, arvenals, military posts or naval sta
tions btler ging to the Unito I States shall
bear the name of a disloyal personage, or in
any way be used to perpetuate the memory
of a traitor. Of course the Copperheads
will object to this as a wrong.

existenso by the treason of Aaron Burr, it
endeavoring to found a Southwestern Con

GOD WILL NOT BN MooKED —We have
numerous instances on reo rd, of the jndg
ments of the Almighty suddenly overtaking
the wicked, giving practical illustrations of the
trut of We Word, which declares that "The
wicked shall not live out half his days." An
instance of this kind occurred near our neigh•
boring town of Cataso,uqun last week. A man
named Miller about three weeks ago. made an
agreement with some of his comp.inions in
vice to meet,hirn nt a certain place every Sun•
day, when he would administer to them the
holy ordinance of Commiinion, giving them
whiskey and crackers. This mock ceremony
was performed every Sunday, but the hands
which adthinistered the mock emblems in de
rision, were so mangled by the premature
discharge of a blast, last week, v.s to require
amputation. Ho was also severely burned
about the head. After two days of eitreme
suffering he went to meet his insulted Creator

weather,- believer, being unpropithats, the cel
ebration was postponed until Thursday, the
19th: At early morn the loivering clouds
'portended rain, and many an anxious face
could be seen intently scanning the horizon,
and perhaps sending up a silent petition for
fair weather. About a - o'clock the wind veer
ed-from east to west, the clouds were soon dis
persed, and the sun Aerie out in all his glory.
Franklin Square had been designated as the
place from whence the procession should start : ,

to Franklin Square, wheii several donde had
been erected for the speakers.. .Tbe colored
people behaved-throughout, in a very becom
ing manner—not a drunken man was to bo
,seen either in the procession or the meeting.
The inscriptions on the benners,were also in
good taste. On tilt, speak'ers' stand wore prop
erly arranged the following inSoriptions:
"We are loyal to God and our country.
"This is the Lord's doings, and it is mar

Among the resolutions passed wore the fol
lowing:
Willman% The Lordls the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe, and the Divine Arbiter of the
destinies of nations and peoPles, and'dbeth ao.
cording to His will in the army of.heaven and
.mong the inhabitants of the earth, and none
can stay His hand : therefore
Resolved, That we do on this auspicious
day assoribe unto Him our thanksgivings and
praise for tho wonderful work which He heti
done for us in this our native land, in causing
every yoke to be broken and the or doing of
the heavy burdens; and in proclaiming lib
erty throughout the land.to all the inhabitants
thereof.
Resolved, That gratefully rem ember the
sufferings, the seer Duos, and the self devotion
of the philanthropists and statestnen.and mar
tyre of the past and present generations, whose
faithfulness to God and to man has so greatly
contributed to the establishment of constitu
tional liberty to every American citizen.
RA.sotved, That the ideas of freedom, as
entertained, by this assembly, are these : the
enjoyment of equal political and civil rights ;
the privilege of earning our.brend by the sweat
of our brows ; giving a fair'day's labor for a
corresponding equivalent ef wages ; a faithful
discharge of the duties we owe to our families,
our neighbors, and to our country, arid to our
God.
Resolved, That we are sensible of the feet
that we dre engaged in a stubborn war with
numerous and unrelenting foes, which,ly the
help of God, we moan to fight out to the end
on our native soil, aiming to complete the es
tablishment of our rights and liberties; and
that our weapons are the spelling-hook, the
Bible, the press, and the implements of indue
try ; and our impregnable fortifications are
sohookiousus and the Church of Christ; and
our watchwords aro unconditional loyalty to
God and our country.
The speakers were Senators Wilson and
Trumbull, Major General Howard, and Rev.
Dr. Garnett and Prof. Day, (colored) Prof.
Day spoke eloquently for more than half an
hour. of which I give a few paragraphs :
Work is the order of God's great universe.
The exception is rest God's own example
is' torte bf work. In the beginning there came
light for day and for night. Production made
earth's surface green and bright and rosy,
and blessed the living creatures Then came
the crowning act of Deity—the making of man.
Then God rested.
Go i is at work in the same order, now as
then.
God's object then was to work out through
man the purposes of. benevolence ; and the,
first stop was to sot man in the earth. That
done, God rested.
God's object. now is to set judgment or jus
tice in the earth, and lie will rest only when
it is accomplished.
How do I know this? . By his own prom
ise—
" I.le shall not fail •nor be discouraged till
He-set'judgmen't in the earth; and the isles
shall wait for His law." He has made the
promise ; 'and that promise fie will perform.
It will not be done all at once, any moie
than this emancipation was achieved all at
once.
God might have created these heavens, arid
the earth, Lied the sea, and-Jiving creatures,
and man, in a Moment of time, if Ile had so
pleased.
At the regular meeting of the Soldier's and
Sailor's Union League a member of the Union
made a statement that a gentleman named
Lammond, who, before the bwaking . out of
the war, swore that he. would wade in blood
knee deep before Mr. Lincoln should bo in
augurated, and, as' evidence, referred to Pot
ter's report, No: 16, Thirty-Seventh Congress,
Second Session, had received an appointment
in the Treasury Dvsrtment within the last
few days, in• opposition to the President's-cir
cular of the 7th ult., thereby depriving a dis
abled soldier of a position. Another gentle
man stated that he had known Mr. -Limmond
for the past three years ; that he bad been'h
a ork in the Interifii- Department, where be
wad' always known as a violent Copperhead,
and was dismissed by Secretary llarlan on
account of his disloyal sentiments
One of the members, a soldier who had serv
ed over four years in the army, stated that he
had made app.ication in al. the departments
of the • Government for an appointment, hut
notwithstandirg that tie presented his dis
charge papers and other gwd recommends
thins, he had been unable to get any attention
paid to his application. If the soldiers are
not yet all satisfied that the circular named
was not intended as a practical measure but
merely for political effect, they should come to
Washington--make application for office, and
then watch the course of events.
