and aided in . organizing the rebellion which ha
caused us so much suffering, blood, and treaq
nre, without some guarantee besides their wore
of honor which might be on a par with confed
crate notes, and their oaths which they hereto
fore have totally disregarded, for the future safe
ty of the nation. They at the same. time cast
the most foul slanders upon the brave soldier.
who subdued rebellion at the point of the bayo.
net, and publish long and labored eulogies of
Gens. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jeff. Davis, and
the whole tribe of scoundrels, including Floyd.
Buchanan's Secretary, who stole the contentq of
the Treasury,ineluding the Indian annuity bonds,
fir the benefit of the Southern Confederacy, and
left Washington without a trial or even a repri
mond from the northern dough•faced demoera
cy.
During the rebellion, the Government of the
States in insurrection passed into the hands o:
disloyal Governors, and when the rebel army
surrendered, those that had not fled for safety,
were driven from office by President Johnson'
and military Governors apptd Med in their places,
by which act he entirely ignored the existence
of the Constitution of the States, or trampled
them underfoot and virtually made new States
of them without any authority of Congress for
thatpurpose. The President issued several pro.
clamations and I:4_ajlittiry Governors issued
many more, in all of Which the principle of states
rights was entirely ignored and everything done
by authority and order'of the President. He
bad conventions held and new State Constitu
tions made by his order without any regard to
the forms and requirements of the old, thereh
treating the territory which constituted the sev
eral states as conquered provinces and the peo-
ple as a people without constitutions or laws.
After having clone This, he asks to have the mos
activo men engage.¢ in : the work of destruction
returned to Congress and again trusted with pow
or. On the other . hand Congress says that thi
Constitutions,oftheie States remain, though the
men sworn to sustain them may have fled and
proved recreant to their duty, and that no per
son can be legally selected to fill their place:
until another annual election occurs, and that
the amendments to most of the State Constitu•
tions, made as they have been in open violation
of the provisions contained in the original in
struments, may be declared void by the courts.
and the old state of affi?:irs thus be reinstated.—
Therefore the necessity for time to have the
State Governments refilled according to the
forms of their several Constitutions, and such
changes madefpf llicm and the Constitution of
the United States as will do justice to all sect
tions of the country, and secure ample guaran
tees against a recurrence of the Scenes of the
last four years; ; That security can be obtainer
by treating the constitutions of the states a.-
still in'existerice, as was done by President Lin
coln. He appointed no military Governors ex
cept in time of war and within the lines of Olt
army when civil law was suspended, not abol
ished, and requiring the people residing in those
States to administer the Constitutions and the
laws made under them according to the forms
therein provided,.and where changes are found
necessary to aflapt_th i em to the new order of
things, have them made in the only legal way
they can be, as directed by the original instru
ment.
EXECUTION OF ANTON PROBST.-011 Friday
last, the extreme penalty of the law was inflict
ed upon Anton - Probst, - at a quarter before elev
en o'clock, A. M., within the, walls of - the City
Prision ofPhiladelphia. The murder was com
mitted on the' 7th of April; the murderer was
arrested on the 12th, on the 18th he was indict
ed and a verdict of guilty was rendered. On
May 6th, the prisoner voluntarily confessed to
Rev. Anthony M. Grundtner, who attended him
uring his imprisonment.
.. The gallows used in this case was the same
ono used for several years. On the way to the
scaffold he. olosped the crucifix to his breast
with religious devotion, and walked with a firm
step. Upon reaching the gallows he turned his
eyes upon the noose pending from the cross
beam, ond,said in broken English, "God will
forgive me," then knelt and repeated the, words
of the prayer read from the bOok by his spirit
ual adviser: After the usual ceremonies were
performed,'his hands were fastened behind him,
the cap drawn over his eyes, the noose adjusted,
the rope pulled, and the culprit launched into
eternity. Thus has the murderer of a whole
family, (except one little boy ofB years of age,)
paid the penalty Of his crime so far as humat,
laws and human justice can' compel him to
atone.
LEAGUE ISLAND.—The bill authorizing the
Secretary'of the Navy to accept League Island.
below Philadelphia, o the Delaware Bay, which
was tendered by the city to the General Govern
ment sometime ago, to be used as a .depot for
iron clads, and a site for nn extensive navy
yard, has passed the House of Representatives.
The Senate should at once pass it and the Presi
dent sign it. The government would then se
cure a valuable locality on fresh water, surround.
ed by a thrifty, industrious and loyal people, and
for the most important ofall public works, with
out cost. Its many advantages of location,
proximity to coal, iron, lumber, and all materi
als required, are such that should not be lost.—
The next move should be to erect a National
Foundry on the . Lehigh in the midst of the coal
and iron fields, Where millions of dollars could
be saved by judiCious management, in the item
of transportation alone. What is our member
of Congress doing that ho can not find time to
urge this, matter?

the war l" Anything to embarrass and break
rip the party that was pushing on the war, and
nanfully fighting the country straight through
:o_yietory.
Just so now they seek to break up the•party
tied defeat its 'purposes. They profess now as
hey -did 4lien , to , be .better Union, men than the
laity that was fighting for the Union. Their
thole effort now is devoted to breaking down the
' - nion party and transferring the government
o the rebels who seceded from it, and.fitiled to
'estroy it by arms. This partyis the only thing .
'tat stands in the way of their ruinous schemes.
We believe, and we have aright to believe,
f •,)m the events of the past five years, if the na
ion is saved and comes out of this trial with
, r_•rmanent peace and prosperity, it must be un
'er the guidance of the Union party, and that
will only meet disaster in the 'hands of those
, ho abandoned it to disintegration and ruin in
861, and laughed at its calamities from 1861
1865.
IN Yti.ON
This is the plain issue in this State : keep the,
Union parts intact, for in it is the hope of the
country. When anybody talks to you about di
visiting in the republican party, .refle'ct whether
you would rather trust the government of the
country into the hands of the Union party, or of
arch men as Breckinridge, Saulsbury, Reverdy
Johnson, T.H. Seymour, Vallandigham, Hora
tio Seymour, Voorhees, Co; Clymer, and the
men—take the best of them—who ruled the par
ty now called democratic.
FENIANS.—The attempt, by the Fenians, to
strike a blow at England, throtigh Canada, and
eventually relieve Ireland from the burdens im
posed upon her unhappy people, appears for the
present to be a failure. The movement was a
~ reneral one along the line, and a few days for
concentration would have made it a formidable
nne. President Johnson, on the Gth inst., issu•
cd a proclamation "warning all citizens of the
United States against taking part in or in any
way urging, aiding, countenancing, or abetting
the same, and directing the marshals and ofli•
cers in the U. S. service, to arrest and bring to
justice all such persons. And assigning Gen.
Mende with the land and naval forces, to arrest
and prevent the carrying out of the expedition."
We had expected a proclamation of neutrali
ty and think that one in imitation of that of the
Queen of England,would have well answered
the purpose, without using the military power
at the expense of the United States, to protect
the lives and property of the men, who, if they
could would have destroyed ours. From the
course they pursued during the last ten years,
they deserve no sympathy at our hands, and we
feel disposed to let the advocates of treason and
traitors applaud or condemn the President as
they choose for the course adopted by him.
'fin SOLDIERS' CONVENTION.—The Soldiers'
Convention, a report of which we publish to•dav,
was one of the most successful and interesting
reunions of the brave, patriotic Union heroes
ver tusembled in this or any other country.—
rho tenor of the Convention was harmonious
tnd decided on all questions pertaining to the
best interests and welfare of those men who
bore up the flag and battled most manfully for
the best Government the•sun ever shone upon.
The attempt of a few misguided men to intro
(Lice Clymer and "my policy" into the delibera
tions of that honorable body proved fruitless,
and those gentlemen who made the attempt,
:net with that scorching rebuke which they so
richly deserved, as the resolutions plainly shoW.
The resolutions are so very plain in their lan-
;cage that it is impossible to misiak6 their
meaning. Andrew Johnson, Cowan & Co., are
put down as recreant to the trust imposed in
hem by the great loyal masses of. the North,
and Major• General John W. Geary, is declared
be the unanimous choice of the soldiers for
jovernor of the Keystone State, and they will
c Ist their entire vote for him next OctOber.
Xtar The Senate has modified the third sec
oil of the Reconstruction Committee report,
trikiug out the clause disfranchising rebels un
-1870, and inserting the following :
_ Sic. 3. That no person shall he a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of Presi
dent or Vice President, or hold any office, civil
or military under the United States, or undue.
any State,.‘llM having previously taken an oath
as a member of any State Legislature, or as tot
executive or judicial officer of tiny State, to sup
mrt the Constitution of the United States, shall
lave engaged in insurrection or rebellion against
ho same, or given aid and comfort to the ene
mies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of
tw•o•thirds of each House, remove such ambit
itv.
The Union men have held a caucus and de•
termined upon the above modification. All the
Senators elected as Union men attending ex
cepting Doolittle, Cowan, Norton and Dixon,
who were not invited, as they nre regarded as
mere:etool.pigeons for the copperheads.
COLD COMFORT.-110 New York /brad, a
Democratic paper, says: "The setting up of
Clymer against Geary amounts to a democratic
defeat in advance." Of course it does. No
nc,dy, fit to be outside of an insane asylum,
would for a moment suppose that the loyal peo
phi of Penna., would think of putting the State
into the hands of the Copperhead enemies of
"Liberty atul Union." The Jeff Davis party is
below par in the good old Keystone.
re. We congratulate the Union men of the
State on the re•nomination of Hon. J. K. Monr.
head for Congress by Allegheny county. He
has already been four times elected and has
served with groat credit to himself and to the
cause in every trial. He has also been peculi
arly the champion of the free industry of the
loyal States, and ha's delivered the soundest
speeches in defence of the protective policy.
tFII The Supreme Court of this State has
adjourned the Harrisburg term without decid
ing the constitutionality of the actof Congress
•lisfrauchising deserters. Coy. Curtin has, we
learn, signed the act of the last session provid
ing for the enforcement of the act of Congress,
and will proceed at once to carry it into effect
by furnishing the rolls of deserters to the prop
er counties.
EDGAR CowAN is engineering the proceed
ings for the postponement of the trial of Jell:
Davis. His object is to avoid carrying the load
of odium which his acquittal will entail on the
Johnson party in the ensuing fall election.—
Cowan wants the trial put off until after Octo
ber. He is in the conspiracy for the acquittal
of Davis, and this is Cowad:p Smto escape its
disgrace. :

Archimedes, "and I will move - the world."—
"Give me pure and unadulterated drugs,"
says ledicutt, of the olden time, "and I will
aura disease."
In one conic, both of these learned pundits
were the veriest charlatans. They knew
there was no place to rest their lever on, eith

Soldiers' State gonvention
This Convintien assembled in Pittsburg on
the sth inst..,:in the new Academy of Music,
which . wit.ti'shindsornely decorated for the oc
casion. Five hundred soldiers, from every
Portion of the State. were seated on the lower
floor, while the galleries were crowded with
•
speetators.
At 10 o'clock, General TTartranft called the
assembly to order. On rri ition of Col. Bills,
Maj• r.General Negley, of Allegheny, wee ap
pointed temporary chairman. Gen Negley
made a few remarks, thanking the meeting
for the. honor. conferred umm,liim, .(3fe
Glenn, of Dauphin, waitafeeted Secretary.
A oommitteo on credentials. and another on
immanent org tnization - were appointed.
Oa motion a oommitteo of. thirty-three wait
appointed to draft resolutions etpresgive of
the sense of the convention, with Gen. Fiehei
as - chairman.
• Tho committee on permanent organisation
,reported General Joshua T• Owens as chair
man ; aqd,a number of vice presidents.
General OWens was escorted to the chair
and received with great applause. Upon tak
ing the chair ho delivered an eloquont and pa
triotic address, which was received with long
and continuoua cheering, • -
General Collie offered the following, which
. _ .
eer soma discussion, wore unanimously adopt
ed:—
Resoled, That the delegates to this conven
tion pledge themselves to conform to, and en
dorse the notion of the convention.
Colonel Kently, of Blair, made an nrequent .
speech. The Into struggle had proVen the
people able to govern themselves, and rivitod
in the hearts of the people the principle of re
publeanism. Ho referred to the. name—
" Boys in Blue," a 'acme which will mako
trait .rs everywhere shudder.
Ho thought if we had an American tribune,
he should also have a pretorian guard ; and if
treason was to Le made odious, it should not
be by rewarding traitors. He alluded to
Geary's glorious military services, a man who
bud never flinched, and to the conservatism
which had coat us so many valuable lives on
the Chiokahominy.
General Brisbin, of the regular army, ad
dressed the convention. Ho was glad that the
Pennsylvania soldiers had taken the step to
organize to protect the liberties ot the country,
and that they will oppose all who are not for
the country. The men who carried the flag
are the proper protecter3 of the country, and
when they cast their ballots unitedly, the re
sult will ho a foregone conclusion.
General Negley addressed the convention
briefly but eloquently, and said ho was always
ready to again answer the call of the country.
EVENING BESSION.
Captain Norrie, of Philadelphia, spoke, and
thanked Allegheny f..r the reception of the
Philadelphia delegates, and complimented
her on her large Union majorities. This con,
vention waeto demand justice for the s oldiers
and that the hero of Lookout Mountain should
be our next Governor. The voice comes from
every soldiers' grave. Bo faithful.
On motion the organization was entitled the
"National Union of the Boys in Blue."
General Fisher, from the committee, report-
ad the following reso'utions which wore unan
imously adopted amid great (sheers.
WIIT,REAS, We, the representatives of the
soldiers and sailors of Pennsylvania assem
bled in convention, in obedience to a call rec
ognized and formally noted upon throughout
the Commonwealth, having in remembrance
the sufferings and trials endured in the sue•
oessful struggle against a gigantic tebellion,
and being determined to penetrate the great
principles established by our arms, and sanc
tified by the blood of our comrades, do re
solve—
First. That we return to the Omnipotent
Ruler cf the Universe our sincere and heart
felt thanks for the crowning victory vouoh
eafed to our efforts against a rebellion which
had for its object the destruction ot our groat
Republic.
4.econd.That the tender care exercised by our
Government nod people for the remains of our
martyred heroes, for their widows and orphans
commands oar warmest gratitude.
Third That contrary to public policy, and
subversive of the great principles won by our
patriotic blood to permit any men to hold of
fices of honor or profit under the General Gov
ernment, who, by word or deed, embarrassed
the Union armies, or cast odium on the cause
for which they fought.
Fourth. 'that the soldiers of Pennsylvania
should organize in their respective counties,
to take care that the 'triumph of the army, bo
not fruitless, and the results of our first en
deavors remain ungathered by concessions of
any material points in issue in our struggle to
the defeated party, or by yielding advantages
fairly , won; and we prop ise the following
platform as a basis of operation :
Fifth That such treatment should be ace
corded to the defeated foe as the mast.chival
riot magnanimity requires ; but without yield
ing a principle compromising the rights, or,
above all, deserting an ally.
Sixth. That such and so many guarantees
shall be demanded from the South and incor
porated in the national Constitution as are
necessary to prevent the recurrence of the re
hellion • to secure justice and freedom to all
men, dell classes, conditions and colors, and
guard the national fa i•ti from violation.
Seventh. That`the rebels ought not to be
precipitated into power before such guaran
tees have been obtained, and that accordingly
Congress, to which rightfully pertain all ques
tions of reconstruction, is to be cordially sus
tained In their demand for such guarantees.
Eighth. That with the beginning of the war
this nation took a new departure, and thence
forth her Constitution is to be read in the in
terest cf liberty, justice and security, accord
ing to the spirit of its preamble, and the int
menet Declaration ot Independence, under the
teachings of its authors and compatriots. Too
long already has it Wen interpreted in the in
terest of slavery and caste.
Ninth. That Major-General John W. Geary,
having given just evidence of his devotion to
the Union during the great rebellion by vol-.
untoering in its defence, and serving faithfully
during the war, when many like Heider Or ,
mer, who now claims todui equally patriotio,
were rendering aid and comfort to the rebels;
and he now being before the people of Penn
sylvania as a candidate fair the office of Gov
ernor, we, his fellow-saldiera in that time of
trial, pledge to him our hearty support, and
ask the same for hint front all these who ac
knowledge the debt of gratitude due front the
country to its saviours.
Tenth. That the soldiers o f Pennsylvania
recognize no warmer or trtier friend than An
drew Gregg Curtin. Ills name is our watch
word; his fame our hope, and his merit our
glory. Tho unswerving love of the soldiers'
friend will be reatiprooated by their unfaltering
devotion.
Eleventh. That we appeal hopefully to Con
gress for speedy decision on the question of
eqUalization of bounties to soldiers.
Tw.of th. That believing treason to be a crime
and that traitors should be puniahed, and we
demand that the leading traitors should be
oorivioted and executed as an example to trai
tors for all time to come.
Thirteenth. That this convention is able to
express its sentiments upon the whole matter
of the issues and candidates in a few words,
which may, answer fur our banner inetriptiond
the °omit% campaign. God grant Geary vie
toryl
/eon tenth That the legislation whereby
Congress attempted to defend anal protect our
allies, the loyal men of the S ,uth, against the
deadly haired of the conitnon enemies, tG make
good for a race •eeda in 'proffered as the price
ut aid and awarded as the.due of loyalty, do
•erves our unquadfied appraivals
IVleentli. That we require Congress so to
legietute as to protect Amertentiindastry by
at high pintsetive tariff
(Jul.Bayne. of Allegheny, offered a resolu
tion, as follows ,
Ilesogved, 'rout the loyal majority in Con
grese deserves our gratitude ; the[ radical vices

require radical reediee; and that the nation
should take notitep backward in her miarch to
ihe grand 'destiny that saintly awaits the un
