TUESDAY, MAY 29, '1866 REPU 111,IWLNASTAI'g N 0 YIIN ATION rou oIveRNOR, Major -General John W. Geary, 01 OUUBERLAND COUNTY The Copperhead Press and Jeff Davis The rebel press, under the Management of the Egyptian Democracy, are exceedingly anx ious for Atik r pardoti of their chief, Jeff. Davis. They undoubtedly fear that a conviction and sentence in his case would lessen their 'chances of escape from the penalties which their crimes well deserve, and which the laws of all civilized nations have provided for the punishment ofthe guilty. Among the many reasons given by the press, which undoubtedly shared with him the money stolen from the public treasury during the reigns of Pierce and Buchanan, is that contained in ono of our exchanges, in which the writer strongly advocated letting hint go with. out an attempt to punish, and asserts most pos tively that twelve intelligent men cannot be found in Virginia, who will agree to return a verdict of guilty of treason against Jefferson Davis, and that of course, an acquittal will be a legal sanction and endorsement of the right of secession and the recognition of the Southern Confederacy. We do not believe that all the in telligent men of Virginia are so lost to all prin ciples of justice, virtue, and truth, as to be will ing to disregard their oaths, and the instructions of the presiding judge, and return a verdict of, not guilty, in direct violation of the law and the evidence, thereby fixing the stamp of perjury upon themselves and sealing their eternal desti- We believe there are at the present time enough honest and conscientious men in Vir ginia to form a jury to try Davis, or any other man or set of men, who ought to be brought to justice. Though the fact canna be _denied nor forgotten, that a large portion of the \ leaders of the rebel army and nearly all the officers of the rebel oligarchy at Richmond have already been guilty ofthatmost heinous crime of perjury; neith er must itbe forgotten that these very men were the high priests of the democracy, and are now the loudest and most blustering advocates of rebel representation in Congress. We do not believe that Virginia, after all she has endured and suffered at the hands of these great crimi- nab, is willing fo have it published to the world that her citizens are no longer worthy of beliet under oath, and their evidence must be exelud ed because they have been guilty of perjury.— The idea that the acquittal of Davis on the charge of treason by a Virginia jury of the character contemplated by the writer of that article, will be &legal sanction and endorsement of the right of secession and an acknowledgement of the Southern Confederacy, is one that could be sug gested only by a bigoted, superstitious, ignorant advocate of modern democracy, who, by reason of his long connection with that tribe, has sunk so deep in barbarism as to be incapable of rea soning, and would prove nothing more nor less than that the people of Virginia are uhworthy of the name of American Citizens, and entirely disqualified by reason of vice and disregard of all the rules of civilization, to be trusted with the destinies of a free people, and convince ev ery man of common sense, that such ti people can only be restrained and kept within their proper sphere by the strong arm of military pow er, and show that all their professions of loyalty and submission to the Constitution and laws wore not made in good faith, but for the purpose of enabling them the better to accomplish by perjury,falsehood and deception, what they fail ed to do by the sword. Now, we believe that there are much truer and better men in Virgin ia to-day, than are to be found among the lead ere of the professed democracy. The writer of that article the better to show his hatred of the Constitution, and the Union -and exhibit his black-hearted malice, saw fit to apply the epithets "malignant, vindictive bloodthirsty hyenas, ghouls," to every man who participated in, or assisted in any way in putting down treason, or believed in the punishment of traitors, or dared hope that the cause of right and justice would prevail, and the guilty meet the punishment they deserve, Those are the epithets bestowed upon the soldier living a crip• ple, or sleeping that sleep that knows no waking. This the kind of reception the democracy give to the returned heroes who have driven traitors behind the curtain prepared for them by their Democratic friends. ThiS is the consolation given tothe crippled and maimed,who carry the evidence oftheir suffering with them. This, too, is the consolation prepared for the mother who yielded her son that a nation might live. This iti the kind of treatment that is to be meted out to the widow and orphan, made so by their reb el friends. Certain it is that no set of men, not lost to all feelings of humanity, could talk thus of their country's martyrs, and no party not ac enstomed to crimes of the blackest dye, would for a moment think of sustaining them. The democracy happen to be exactly in the position where they can do it with changing one particle, as it is consistent with their actions for the last ten years. What is their Claim P The Copperheads aspire to the government of this state again. What is their claim to be trusted by the people with power? We shall endeavor, during the canvass, to fairly consider a proposition which seems very impudent on its face: this proposal of the pro-rebel party to • take control of our affairs. Is there any thing in their history for the last five years to entitle them to confidence? It constantly occurs to all that, They approvedthe secession of the rebelstates, and opposed all effotlN of the government to co '. erce them "into" the Union; They opposed the war on the part of the North, ridiculed the soldiers, discouraged enlist ments, rejoiced over Union defeats, were sour over Union victories, and raised the cowardly, white, peace flags whenever disaster to the Cul , on soldiers gave them courage to do so ; They steadily deprecated the national securi• • ties, arid - tinught by destroying the national ere :dit to embarrass and render impossible sustain. ed and successful military operations; • They fought the Union troops behind their backs with every possible discouragement, while • the armed enemies of the country met them in • front; They opposed the 'invasion" of the rebel eta tes ; they opposed the arming of the colored . men, they opposed the abolition of slavery; in short a measure cannot be named that tended • to put down the rebellion that they have not op , , posed. If they insist on the aSsomption of the rebel debt or the repudiation of our own; as there are vat wanting indications of their doing, they will'act consisteatly. a; .. • , That it! their recent blown Lut us hear i' reason why they should , befilistod , log LI 34 iti Itas 1 TOE PANIC) IN EN4AND.—The financial flur ry in England, and the heavy failures of pronii : nent companies, created quite a sensation in monetary circles, and caused a rise in gold and a decline in U. S. s f 2os. In anticipation of large returns to this country, shrewd observers have long prQdicted a crash, which now seems tohave commenced in good earnest. The pros pect of a German war is the pretext for a series of failures which have been long threatened, and could not be longer postponed. The English aristocracy had dipped too deep in the risk o overtrading, and had been too intimately inter woven with the defunct Southern Confederacy, to maintain a high degree of prosperity when the false lights were utterly extinguished. The American nation will scarcely feel that such a tremendous crash has taken place in the moth er country. It may cause a slight decline in government securities, and the return of large amounts from Europe to be exchanged for gold, but at such prices as to give the American pur chasers a large profit. Let us then take adVan tage of the opportunities • offered, and "make as much as poSsible out of them. • The well-known house of Pete & Betts, with heavy liabilities, are among the number. Sir Morton Peto, M. P., made a tour through this country last fall, and it would not be surprising if some house in New York would be pinched by his failure, as itis reported he made arrange ments to make heavy investments in projected railroads in this country. Let our business men prepare for any emergency that may follow.— ' The Bank of England has raised the rate of dis count to 10 per cent. I:4iV* The anxiety of the leading copperheads of this State, and their mutual friends, the re constructed traitors of other States, to defeat General Geary for Governor, causes them to ex pose their wicked and malicious schemes to the ridicule of the honest people of the country— Their pet scheme of getting up a third candi date as an avowed supporter of the policy of the President had to be abandoned for the reason that they could not find a policy man out side of their own corrupt faction. The next move ment was to run Clymer as a policy candidate, which they now appear to have abandoned, on account of his bad record. They find that he is spurned by the people and hated by the sol diers. The last chapter in the farce which has been permitted to see the light, aro the proceedings of a meeting in Philadelphia, when Clymer was affectionately implored to decline as a can didate for Governor of Pennsylvania, and accept he position of minister to some foreign country for the benefit of his health. This was a bitter pill to Clymer, but with the certainty of defeat staring him in the face, it is represented that he consented, and hisappointment is to be made when Congress adjourns, so that lie can get out of the country before the Senate meets in the fall to act on his nomination: ger It is well-known that in the State of Massachusetts liquor is not allowed to he sold by law. For years attempts have been made get a license law through the Legislature with out effect. 'The power of the liquor league has been insufficient to corrupt so large a popular body as the House of representatives. Last week another unsuccessful attempt was made with the same result. The bill was defeated by a vote of 149 to 46. In Pennsylvania-- 7 and more especially in Philadelphia—there exists almost a free law for liquor dispensers. Any man can obtain a license without difficulty, but thousands do not even deem a license necessa ry. The bill which was reported to have pass ed our Legislature, taking the power to grant license from the county treasurers and placing it lathe hands ofthe judges of the courts, where it, formerly was, failed to become a law—for what reason we cannot say, but no doubt there arc those who can tell us all about it. ON THE' RIGHT TaAcn.-The people of the State of West Virginia, have determined that, men steeped in crime shall have no part in the government of her people, and have so amend ed their Constitution as to prohibit all persons engaged in thelato rebellion against the United States, from holding office or voting at elections, which amendment was, at an election held on Friday last, ratified by the voters at the polls. That action will probably cause a large emigra tion of the reconstructed to a more congenial lo cality. We suggest the propriety of reassem bling the Clymer Convention for the purpose of taking action in the matter and inviting them to settle iu York and adjoining counties before .the fall election in this State. Viar The attention of those democrats who denounce die Freedmen's Bureau as simply an institution for the sustenance of lazy negroes, is directed to the followinv official report of the Bureau from Arkansas for the first quarter of the current year, via : The following rations were issued for the quarter : Month.

The Jobnsonian organs are indulging iu great glee because the "Clerks in Washington are organizing a Johnson National Club." It is truly a wonderful sign, but the truth is that there are a large number of clerks in. Washing ton who were ready to organize a Jeff. Davis club in anticipation ofLee's conquest of the Na tional Capital. It is more than likely that the same material now forms the Johnson clubs. Air The Harrisburg correspondent of the Chambersburg Repository says that Gen. Dick Coulter has rejected the role be was to play to servo Johnson and Cowan and defeat Geary. Ho has given the little firm of corruptionists 'notice, to use Dick's own rather emphatic thou •classical language, that he "is not to be taken fur a d—d fool," and he declines to run for Governor or support Clymer. Who will next ho tried by the little coterie of political traitors. far There is a great deal of pith in the fol. owing paragraph from the Tribune: "There is much clamor in the Copperhead lournals against the report of the Committee on Reconstruction, whereof the sum and substance s this: "1f the rebels arc not allowed to vote until 1870, how can a Copperhead be chosen l'resident in 1868?" We really, can't say.

A NEW FIRE COMPANY.—The young men of Catasauqua are organizing a new fire company, to be called the Phoenix Engine Co. They have resolved to secure a steamer and have already sent a committee on that mission. This is something greatly needed in Catasau qua, and inasmuch as it is for the benefit cf the citizens of that place, we trust they will give" all the aid and encouragement required to perfect the organization of the company. SJLDIER DELISOATES.-At a meeting col the returned soldiers hold at Ilagenbuch's Hotel, on Thursday evening last, Major Wal ter li. Seip and Capt. John P.

Yerkol, aged about 15 years, got into a quarrel with a young man named Edward Cypherd when the boy threw a stone striking Cyphord on the head, and knocking him senseless to the ground. A physician was called in to attend the sufferer, and he is now slowly recovering. Yerkel was arrested and taken before Esquire flamersly, who bound him over to answer at Court. THE Pennsylvania Mi iitary and i., ollegi ate Institute, of this place, has received lately from the State, a fine battery of brass field pieces for light artillery drill, and the cadets aro now receiving instruction in this important arm of tho military service. This is a new and pleasing exercise for the pupils. In addi tion to the opportunity of obtaining a correct practical knowledge of artillery drill, the last exhibition of this Institution, at the Academy of Music, has placed it confessedly at the head of all similar institutions, in the State, in in fantry and bayonet drill—and we see that, no effort is relaxed to afford still greater facilities for instruction, by a liberal provision for ar tillery and cavalry drill. No school except West Point now offers military advantages su perior to the Pennsylvania Military Institute, while at the same time the usual time is given in full to the scholastic duties of the institu tion. The number of pupils in attendance ut present and during the whole year, has given abundant evidence of the successful and satis factory management of the school. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A very seri' us ao• cident occurred on the morning of the 223 last , at the rook-ore mine of James Heinly, a few miles above Milleretown, this county. Mr. John Breish, an industrious and respectable citizen of Lower Macungie township, while en gaged in sharpening a chisel on a grind-stone, propelled by a stationary engine, was caught at the woolen jacket, which he bud on at the time, by the shaft of the grind-stone, and the man drawn closer and closer at every revo lution of the shaft, until his entire' body was jammed in between the shaft and the ground, and the left arm caught and turned around the abaft with such force as to strip his body almost naked, and stop the engine ; so fright fully fracturing and lacerating the limb as to necessitate amputation. The limb was there fore taken off a short,distance 'below the shoul der joint, the following morning, by Dr. Wm. B. Erdman, assisted by Drs. A. M. Sigmund and S. R. Rittenhouse. We aro happy to state that the unfortunate man is in a lair way of recovery.—. News.

FAIR.—The Fair of the Columbia Fire Co , will open on Saturday next, in the large wigwam on Centre Square. This building was erected by the firemen es pecially for this purpose, and-cost about $4OO. We admire the good taste and judgment of the Columbia boys in the construction of their wigwam, and in their arrangements for hold• ing the Fair. In the centre of the building is a fountain, in.tho North East-corner will be the ice cream and refreshment department, and around the remainder of the building will be erected stands for the display and sale of the many fancy articles which will be on ex hibition. From what wo can learn this Fair will eclipse anything of the kind ever hold in this.oounty, with the exception of our regular county Fairs.

From W aohington: Washington, May 22nd 186 G. RECONSTRUCTION. The Senate is engaged in discussing the pro posed amendment to the Constitution, which has already passed the House by a two-thirde* vote. It is supposed that the 3d section, dis franchising all the rebels until 1870, will be stricken out or modified so as to disfranchise only the leaders, and another substituted con ferring universal suffrage after the year 1870. It is thought, and truly too, that the people of the Ncrth want Botha guarantees for th , ise sa ble men, every one of whom was our ally pass ive or active, during the war. No one of them was ever known to betray a Union Soldier or loyal refugee,'and in the darkest hour of the struggle two hundred thousand of them be came active participants. It would be unjust and cruel indeed to deliver them into the hands of their oppressors without guarantees. The other sections of the amendment, pro hibiting . the payment of the rebel war debt, and basing representation, upon voters, are manifestly so just and proper that they scarce ly need comment. It is to be hoped that no sane man, even among copperheads, will in sist that three votes in the South shall count as much as five votes in the North. Yet this will be the case, unless the Constitution is amended. Thus : Louisiana. with a popula tion of 350,000 whites, would have as much political power as Maine, with 030,000 ia habitants ; in other words. if the Constitution is not amended, ohe vote in Louisiana would o:unt es much as two voters in the State of Maine. yißoirits UNION CONVENTION The men of Virginia, who all through the late war. through terrible Demolitions, stood steadfastly by the old flag, met in convention, al Alexandria last week. Among the dole. gates were such men as John Minor Botts, 'John P. Lowish Dr. Dillard, utbzo nptal The epitthill And Rho litiohe VI la 1101 till ' Mit doctrine of States-rights and secession as in terpreted by copperheads and rebels; advo cate equal and Just laws for all the people, white and colored ; impartial suffrageas the . only true basis of a republican form of govern ment, and the establishment of free schools and the dissemination of knowledge. The committee •to whom was referred the resolu tion to suggest a name for the party reported the name of the "National Union Republican party of Virginia." Mr. J. T. Clemente, chairman of the com• mittee on resolutions, said that considering that the negro had aided in suppressing the rebellion, and that his loyalty was above sue pibion, the committee had reported in favor of . Impartial suffrage. The. committee bad also hold that they cotild not endorse President Johnson because they saw rebels every day who had persecuted and driven from their homes the families of Union men, passincres olutions endorsing and eulogizing the Presi dent and denouncing Congress as revolutiona ry—this class, said the speaker, held that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and traitor, and deserved his fate, and that J. Wilkes Booth was a patriot. The addressee wore much more "radical," (as the copperheada would say,) than the res- I olutions. Mr. Ilauxhurst, of' Fairfax, said that our fore fathers imbibed those true principles of liberty, whoa their breasts were pressed by British bayonets. They promised before high heaven that should they be successful, that all should be entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They undoubtedly in cluded the negro, or why did they use such language. Mr. Lipscomb, of Riehmofid, said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, that his father, before the war, was rich in slaves, but ho was nevertheless for liberty, pure unadulterated liberty. There were only two sides to the question—for or against ne gro suffrage, and that he was for it. He said he wanted all men to bo free in the full and true sense of the word. Mr. J. F. Lewis, of Rockingham, said that he was a member of the convention in 1860, which passed the secession ordinance and was threatened with hanging if ho did not vote f.r it. He resolved then that no earthly power could compel him to vote for secession, and he stood to-day, as he did then, fearlessly for truth and liberty, and no earthly power should drive him from that position. He said there were 1,500 intelk out loyal colored men in Rockingham, who never voted ~with the rebels, and if the negro was as black as the ace of spades, he would say, "Let him vote." He would rather confide the destinies of Virginia to loyal black men than rebels and traitors. The convention was addressed in similar strain, by Botts, of Culpeper ; Hill, McKen sic, and Dillard, of Alexandria •, Roberts and Troth, of Fairfax ; Gibbons and Pollock, of Frederick ; Williams of Spottsylvania ; Wor], of Campbell, and others. The proceedings of these earnest, straight• forward men, furnishes food for thought.— They do not stop to nek, "Has Mr. Johnson any offices at his disposal ; and may we not get some of those offices by endorsing his pol icy and selling our principles. On the contra ry, they look neither to the right nor the left, but stand up boldly . for the right, caring very little whether men in high or low position aro with thorn or not. Business Notices ma.
