Demooraey and• Free Speech. The Clymer Johnson Democracy make great pretensionii of devotion to the principle of free speech` and a free press. A short review of the doings of the leaders of that party, will show. to the satisfaction of any unprejudiced mindi.that they and they alene have attempted to abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the Press, and freedom of thought. There is no such thing as denying but that the late rebellion was commenced by the leaders of the Democratic party, including President Buchan. an and his cabinet, during his term of office. Forts,sisenals, dockyards and other public prop• erty, was taken possession of by the States then starting outin rebellion, and the so-called Con federate bosierriment, and proceedings commeu ced to capture such as. were not quietly surren dered, and the old flag torn down and trampled upon and even fired upon at Charleston, South Carolina. The valuables of the national Treas ury plundered and carried away to the head quarters of the rebels. On what ground did they attempt to justify all those acts ? It was alleged alike by the perpetrators and the leading Demo crats of the North that the slave States had suf• fered by aggression on their rights at the hands of the abolitionists of the korth,what were those !tete ofaggression irony, no one ever pretented that they consistad in anything but words, no act had been cone by either Republicans or anti elavert men, nor was any purpose which had a tendency to interfere with slavery as it existed in the States. The slaveholders themselves had sought by treachery,bribery and force,to extend the institu tion to the territories, which necessarily raised the questipn of the constitutional rights of sections, as well as those of the people of the territories, and the manner in which those questions were discussed taking as they did the party organiza tions for and against them, led the people to ex amine for themselves and when it was once set tled that the whole machinery of the Democrat party was used for the purpose of extending sla very, it gave an impetus to the anti-slavery men, and out of those very discussions the Republican party arose. It is also a notorious fact that the discussions were confined to the then territories, as no 'Orson was allowed to express an opinion upon the justice or right of the peculiar institu tion,in any of the Southern States, there freedom of discussion and the press were not tolerated, no papers were allowed to circulate that were not in favor of slavery. The rebellion was then begun and carried on for the purpose of resisting the progress of opinions formed by discussion, find with thePpen and avo wed purpose of com pelling a change of opinion by force,and 'that too by the very men who publicly declared for those great bulwarks of evil liberty, argument had failed them for the reason that they had taken a position that wasnot founded injustice and truth, and they resorted to the wager of battle to con vince their opponents of their error, and in do ing saattempted to treat an election, the result which was in a mcasere owing to their own ef forts,as, though it had never been held, in other words, free speech and free fight on their side was right, but in opposition to their wishes, no man lbad aright to entertain an opinion or 'ex presatone., How stands the matter now,'the President says to the people, through their representatives, that he and he alone has the right to speak in relation to the organization of governments of the eleven States not represented in Congress, and they must do as he says, although he is but an 'executive officer, bound by his oath tc execute the laws as made by Congress, yet he assumes to dictate to them the kind of laws they shall make and to be the sole judge of their actions, a more direct thrust at the free dom:citspeech and the press cannot well be made, and should the people acquiesce in the position taken by him, than that very liberty will be in greater danger than ever it was before. When:one man power prevails on any question touching the 'regulation of the affairs ^of the Governinent there are the bulwarks cf liberty in mat peril, and those who most rejoice at thaw acts of arbitary power necessary to carry into effect that doctrine, will in the end the most beartily cry out against it. • The. leaders t .of the Deinperacy have on all occasions cried aloud for free speech and a free press, and at the same time have advocated every measure suggested by their slave holding Inas* intended to circumscribe them both. Conserßatisna, which declares that a man must do as:his leadcrs say, without examination, or investigation, bad that tendency. Compromise leads 'much stronger in the same direction. Secession and rebellion were got up by them to resist their tide of onward march, and tha cry of radical with the object of putting down men who dare form and express opinions of their own,, is the meanest of all the inventions of wicked men for that purpose..,No man or set of men ever accomplished any good or evil either unless they were radical in their opinions and expressions. A . ny cause that will presper by means of fair open argument, stripped of all ridicule and meanness, must be right. If it will not so pros. per;tten let it go under where it belongs. f/fir Why is the President so anxious for a fall representation of the South in Congress ? Does saione believe that it is a matter of principle.? , Not a man, in his senses, believes that anything the President does now.a-days, has any ether purpose than to deflect and break dow,n;the,Union party. lle wants so many in Congress to support his "Policy," as to enable him; with his Veto Power, to control the action of 00rigrese—to. diOlate the legislation of the Coti t itti• . /j—andtci save , : himeelf from Toasible impfnckneag/ He aims at Power, that he may exercise it with all the ferocity and malignity of his nature and disposition.

Robley Dunglimn, AT THEilt OLD 'cu.—The Copper-John son journals are just now very much worried about the "rich Irish brogue" and the "sweet German accent," and in their desperate attempts to humbug and mislead citizens of foreign birth they resort to barefaced falsehoods. Thus, we see a paragraph going the rounds bf these pa pers, to the effect that Thaddeus Stevens had said that the negro was a better man than the Irishman or German. Of course, every man of sense knows that Mr. Stevens did not and would not say anything of the kind—he is too old and too intelligent a man to make use of such fool• ish expressions. It is of course a Copperhead lie, and shows plainly to what straits the party is already reduced. We would say to the editors of these papers : You need not give yourselves trouble about the Irish vote, for the tendency of that vote is pretty well d,etermiried. The more intelligent and worthy of our Irish citizens act with the Re publican party, for they recognize in its princi ples those which are dear to every friend of liberty. The worst class find in the Democra cy au appropriate place, and nothing can in duce them to change their alleigance to the same principles which they left the old country to escape. This distribution cannot be changed. Should President Johnson become the Demo cratic candidate in the next presidential elec tion, his anti-Penian - proclamation Would be forgotten as completely as if it had never been issued, and Irishmen of Democratic proclivities would rally to his support. As for the Germans, fully one-half of them (aeally all the intelligent portion) dote with the Republican Union party, and we are proud to say they have been won over by appeals to their intelligence, and not by , appeals to their preja dices, and of course sueh low and vulgar ap peals as we find in the Copper-Johnsonjournals will make no impression upon them. THREATS.—Our forefathers very„ wisely or dained , at the formation of the government that political questions should be decided by the people at the polls, and that the mitiority should submit to the decisiOns of the majority. But modern Democrary desires to reverse all this. Threats are thrown out by Copper-John son speakers at public meetings that the suc cess of the radical Union men will be just cause for another rebellion. In 185 G, this same class threatened again ; a rebellion was inaugurated, and the result is known to the country, At a recent JohnsOn ratification meeting in Washington, three out of five speak. era, within sight of the Capitol, made similar threats. Are the people willing that politicians of the rebel stripe should dictate to them bow they shall vote? We always supposed that a freeman was left free to think and vote as he saw proper. But it seems that modern Democ racy has resolved to think for and dictate to a majority of the people. It needs no prophet to foretell that the Copper-Johnsons, in the event of succeu in the elections, would inaugu rater the sa despotism in the North as prac tised in t e South. ....................-.--......... DISIN ERESTED PATRIOTS.—RandaII, Doolit tle, Cow It & Co., managers of the Philadelphia Johnson convention, are the most disinterested patriots in the world. Randall is the present Postmaster General and a candidate for the U. S. Senate from Wisconsin. Doolittle is a candidate for the presidency, and was ao a candidate for a cabinet office, re cently, but was persuaded to hold to the place he occupies at present so as not to diminish the strength of the copperjohnsons in the Senate. Cowan was a candidate for Secetary of the In terior, but the place was given to 0. H. Brown ing, and he is now a candidate for 're-election to the I LLS:Senate from Pennsylvania against Gov. Curtin. There was not one professed Republican at tending the Philad'a. convention who was not either an offiice•holder or an office seeker. And Many of them are now in Washington asking for the reward for their subserviency in their en deavors to betray the RepubliCan party into the hands ofthe copperheads and rebels. Surely no man need put on his spectacles to see that these men have thrown principle, patriotism, and hon or aside in their wild chase after official honors and emoluments. TLIE SEPTEMBER CONVENTION.-TllO conven tion of loyalists which meets in Philadelphia will be attended by the most prominent Union men of the country, and we can promise our readers that it will not be a "mum convention" like the copperjohnson conclave. There will be free dom of speech. The country will be truly rep resented by representative men: New York sends Senators Morgan and Harris, and a host of others; New Jersey sends Freylinghuysen, Olden, Neusell, TennEycic,etc. ; West Virginia Gov. Boreman, Senators Willey and Van Win kle, Geu. Kelly, Gen. D. H.Strotber, (porte cray on) &c.; Maryland, Senator Cresswell, Francis and John L. Thomas, John Lee Chapman, Gen. Dennison, &c. ; Delaware, A. B.Smithers, J. H. Adams, Courtscy, Alderdice, &c. ; Massachu setts sends her mcst eminent men—look at the array of names : John P. Andrew, John G. Whittier, (the poet) John H. Clifford, Ralph . Wel do Emerson, Gen. Banks, Gen. Butler, Loring, Quincy, Boutwell, finks, Devon, Lincoln, Hay den, Sherman, Sprague and a host of others. ORGANIZATION.—The time for discussion has almost passed and the time for action is near at hand. A party to rove effective at the polls must have a thorough organization. Pennsylva nia Republicans would do well te6 follow the ex ample of their bretbern in New Jersey, who have divided each election district into blocks, and have appointed active men to canvass the blocks, make a list of Union voters, and admon ish each and every one to be at the polls EARLY. If the main body of the voters in a district vote early it will give the active men of the party an opportunity to bring in the lukewarm and doubt ful ones. Every doubtful voter who cannot be approached in the usual way, should have a ticket at his disposal a, day. or two before the election. It is a good plan to distribute the tickets a few days before the election, as They are often destroyed at the, polls by maliciously ditiposed persons. Every provision should be made to bring out aged and infirm voters ; and should the weather be unfavorable, extra excl.." flans should be used to make the veto just de Hill as if it were a clear day, OUR PUBLIC DEBT Robert Dale Owen says that the public debt of the nation, incurred in putting down, the re bellion, is like the character of , a woman, it will not bear discussion. And yet the people are asked by the Johnson-copperheads to place our debt at the mercy orrebehi and their ..copPer head *allies. The rebels boldly atlirm ; tliatthey fought in a just cause, and we are so 'say that the copperjohnsons uphold them-lir this idea. NoW, is there any plainer proposition in the world than the fact that if men were engag ed iu a just cause that they will insist upon having all obligations liquidated ipeurr ; edin the furtherance of that cause. The IS4deAnen., in Congresss desired to guard against such a contingency, and proposed an amendment to the Constitution, securing the national debt and putting it out of the power of rebels to re pudiate that debt. If the SonstitutiOaramend ment (which the Republican party upholds and the copperjohnsons oppose) is defeated in the October and November elections, the rebel States will come in with about 35 more repre sentatives than they had before the war; and by uniting with the copperheads, they will in sist upon having their debt incorporated with ours, or agitate for the repudiation of our debt, Our people are already sufficiently taxed but if they would like to help pay the rebe debt they have only to vote the Clymer•copper johnson tickets. We can well imagine how the rebel represen tatives in• Congress would introduce this sub ject. They would approach the northern cop perhead Congressman in this wise : "You ac knowledged during the war, both by word and act, that we were not in the wrong ; you insist ed that the North and w't the South brought on the wale.; you gave us every aid and can fort in your power consistent with your own safety ; you even went so•far at Chicago as to declare the war for the restoration of the Un ion a failure. Well, now, we have maimed sol diers and soldier's widows as well as the North; is it just that we should help pay'pensions to Northern soldiers and ours should receive mine." ("No, no," would answer the copper. heads.) "You have paid Northern soldiers bounties, and we must help to pay the debt in curred in consequence; is this just." (No, no," answer the copperheads again) We have incurred an immense debt ; you cannot con sistently ask us to help pay your debt while you help repudiate ours. We have also lost our slaves; they were liberated without our consent ; they were our private property ; you• must acknowledge that it is not right to take a man's private property without paying for it. Is all this right—is it just." ("No, no," again answer the copperheads with emphasis.) And during all this discussion the national debt would depreciate in value, the people would become bankrupt and the country ruin ed financially. There is a.simple remedy for all this—the proposed constitutional amend ment not only secures the national debt, but deprives the rebels and copperheads of the power of repudiating our obligations. President Johnson is making a political tour through the North, ostensibly for the ptir pose of participating in the ceremonies of dedi cating the Douglas monument, but really for the purpose of indulging in uttering the slang, which he is only capable of. He seems inca pable of rising to a just appreciation of the dignity to, which he was elevated by the fatal bullet of J. Wilkes Booth, or to appear in any other character than a blatant demagogue stumping the North with the intention of as sisting the triumph of rebel sympathizers, but in reality 'rapidly crushing out the few faint hopes of partial success they once cherished. To the apparent welcome extended to him, he is indebted to the presence of Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut, and on all possible occa sions rewards his hearers with his most malig nant partisan harangues. TUE Issas.—The copperjohnson party in sists upon admitting rebels into Congress with greater power than they had before they turned traitors, thus actually rewarding treason. The Union party asks of those who sought to ruin the government only a reasonable guarantee —asks, indeed, only that they shall not have gained political power by their rebellion.— Tennessee has - admitted the justice of this proposition, acceded to the amendment basing representation on voters, and been admitted to the councils of the nation. And if the others wish to be repre;ented, they only have to adopt the amendment and send loyal men to Con gress. The loyal North, in justice to itself, demands only that rebels shall not be given the opportunity to undo all that has been done. BAs an evidence of the correctness of An drew Johnson's statement that peace, order and tranquility prevail throughout t1:0 United States, the Toledo (Ohio) Blade prints' the following, which it received from a gentleman who arrived from Bowling Green, Kentucky. This polite invitation to emigrate is being sent to the well pronounced Unionists throughout Kentucky and other Southern States: "Mr. -: Sin ; You are hereby notified to quit this State within three days. If found after that period your life will be forfeited: "DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE." The members of this "Democratic Commit tee" are no doubt supporters of "my policy," and loud in, their clamor for the unconditional admission of Southern Representatives in Con gress. A QUE3TION.—Voters of this District ! are you in favor of the Northern States depriving themselves of 13 members of Congress, and of giving the South 13 more than they now pos sess, based upon a non-voting population ? Holster Clymer and his friends are in favor of this. Is a Northern soldier hotter than a ne gro, who cannot vote ? Mr. Clymer and his party say they are not. Soldiers know your friends. • Ser Mester Clymer could not stand the pres sure in Reading dtiringthe monster Geary dem onstration in that city on Wednesday last. He left the city early that morning for Pottstown. Poor Clymer! he and his party are dwindling into nothingness more and more every day. It is an ill omen that drives a Berk-s county Dem ocrat from the limits of that stronghold during a Republican mass meeting.—Telegraph. se.How can an honorably discharged sol dier vote for Mester Clymer, when Hiester Cly mer declared that it was dishonorable to enter the army, dishonorably to march into a South ern State to crush rebellion ? Soldiers, 'mil der this question. CP.OWED TOO 800 .-A dispatch was read in the Philadelphia Convention, on Aug. 14th, that the Coppqr-Johnsoil delegate to Congress from Cdorado, was elected. The complete re turns show that the Republican candidate was elected. Writ is reported that Mr. Cowan asked per missio,u to address the Union meeting which was held in Greensburg, his home, last week; and that the meeting decided by a unanimous vote not to hear him.

Ifeebncr has been appointed Internal Revenue Assessor of the 6th District, in place of H. J. Saeger, re moved. Mr Saeger has boon connected with the office since it was first started, first as chief clerk for Mr. Samuel Mellon, and afterward us Assessor. Ho has proved to be a faithful officer, attentive to his duties', just and fair to those having business with him. Mr. Heebner entered the army in 1861, and about the beginning of 1862, was promoted to Quartermaster of the 47th Regt. P. V., and served in that capacity until captured in the Shenandoah Valley, in 1864. Soon after his release, in 1865; ho was mustered out of ser vice under the rules of the Department. He was a faithful officer while in the army, and if a change had to be made and a Copperhead appointed, we prefer his appointment to that of any other person we have heard named.— Mr. Heebner has always voted the Democratic ticket, and was a strong McClellan man in 1864, and hie appointment leads us to believe that the assertions that no Democrat could be appointed, when a Republican could be made to promise to vote fur Clymer are true, and that the Copper-Jobnsons were unable to find such a man here capable of writing his name, willing to sell his principles for an office, and that the boasted Republican Johnson Clymer club with its 60 members, is either a myth or they aro all so degraded as to be entirely unfit for that or any other position outside of strong stone walls and iron bolts. A BUSY WEEK —Judging from appear ances, this will be not only a busy week for the Copperhead policy pc iticians, but an ex ceedingly anxious and expensive one tor the office seekers. Delegates are to bo selected to make their nominations at Trexlertown, on Saturday neat. The contest appears to be between the Enighes and toe old officers. The Knights have selected one candidate for each of the positions to be filled, and appear to be putting forth every exertion to secure the del egates, with a fair prospect of success. They have plenty of money and a largo majority of rum sellers on their side, both of which are indispensiblo requisites to success in this cousty. The anti-rotation men have got out a low fliers as candidates, who stated no chance, and should they secure a few dele gates, it will only be' for the purpose cf sell ing them at the Convention to the highest bidder. There is not the chance for forming combinations that has been heretofore, and ho only hope of success is in the ability of one party or the other to purchase the requis im number of delegates, to secure the nomina tion, which is equal to an election. From now until Saturday next, the Copper- Johnson and Clymer candidates in this county and their friends, will be' kept on the alert. visiting the different localities where the great Democratic argument is dealt out by the gill at ten cents, and ' footing the bills made by their friends. Let them go in, we oin stand back and watch, take notes and print them for the benefit of outsiders. Some funny scenes will undoubtedly take place, and we intend to gather them up for the I onilt of our readers.

Let there be a grand rally from every part of the county and show our devotion to the snored principles for which our brave "boys in blue' contended while in the army, and for which you contrib- uted so freoly of your means. Eminent speakers' have been engaged to address the meeting. Among thoso invited are J. W. Forney, Gen. Chas. Albright, Linn Bartholemew lion. 11. C. Longnecker, and others. An invitation is extended to our friends from adjoining counties to attend. se-Henry P. Rosa was nominatod unan imously for Congress In the Fifth diin lot on Saturday by the Demooratio Congressional convention, and Caleb N. Taylor by the Re pu' lican Congressional Convention. The Union men of Berko on Saturday nomi nated the following ticket : For Congress—David J. Lincoln. For Senate - Nicholas Hunter. For Assembly—Dr. William G. Moore, E. L. Mull and Capt. G. W. Dural!. For Asseciato Judges—Dr. Adam J. &ho ner and Henry Z. Van Reed. A committee or ton was appointed as a del • egatlon to the approaching Philadelphia Con. TlEltlol3t A WORD TO •OFFIOE-HOLDERS learn from a recent issue of the English editio of the copperhead bible for Lehigh county `re mean, of course, the paper styling itself the Alleetown Democrat—that the presence ,at, or absence from so called Domocratio meet ings, of the federal office-holders of this coun ty, shall be the criterion by which their at tachment to the administration of President Johnson shall be judged. And nor only this, but that. all u nut feolinclive t••rc kto to the t,illotot.ol the copperhead, o• -! anti•soldier-voting, and rebel-sympathizing litical organization of the county, shall be re ported to the President, r.nd forthwith decapi tated to give place to what that slimy sheet would call a "white Republican." A white Republican I Who is ho? What is ho ? Judgingfrom the language employed by Cop perhead speakers and writers, for the last half-donee years, a person should be led to in fer that no republican over drew breath who was not a black republican. Even Wm. 11. Seward, the reputed author of the deal ine of an "irrepressible conflict," was considered, but a very short time ago, one of the very blackest of the black. By what mysterious process has he changed his color 1 Ethiopia's (haleness answer ! By what systeni•of misce genation have Andy Johnson and Senators Cowan and Doolittle boon changed from their almost unpardonable blackness to a pearly whiteness? Bon. Wood and Clem Vnllandig ham, the head and front of the Democratic party as it was will please shed light upon this obscure question. We rather suspect from tits company these men keep (please remem ber the Philadelphia convention,) that what the Democrat w ould call a "white republican" is one who, formerly a black republican, is now afflicted with Taney on the brain—that queer sort of insanity or mental derangement which induces a,man to imagine that negroes have no rights which white men are bound to re spout. We black republicans,. however, be lieve that all men, white or blat k, have cer tain God-given rights which no man hrfs a right'to deny ; but it is questionable, indeed, very doubtful, whether a copperhead is capa ble of of advocating a princi,ile that oven the most degraded and blackest negto is bound to respect. If any of the federal office holders of Lehigh county wish to be complimented with the name of "white republican" as understood by the Allentown Democrat—if they wish the con gratulations of every copperhefid and rebel, from Bob Lee down to the meanest sympathi • zer with the pro slavery rebellion, and merit the scorn of every American citizen, who be lieves, in the language of the immortal Decla ration of ladepend ace, "that all men aro cre ated free and equal,' all they have to do is to crouch before the lash of Andrew Johnson and the copperheads, by attending their meetings, ,gotten up, apparently, for the sole purpose of testing their soundness to Ankjohnsoncopper headistn—a big and high sounding word, b ut such is the way of the world. It, on the contrary, our federal office-holders recognize the man in their souls,—if they feel that fealty to principle, they will meet the im pudent threats of that disunion faction with "manly hearts" and say to Andy Johnson's pups of Lehigh county, that although they may hark and bite until "white republicans" take their places, they mean to stand on their own bottom, through fire and smoke, maintaining clear consciences and an unsullied reputation in spite of all opposition. The man .who promised to be the Moses of the slaves, who declared that treason should be made odious and traitors punished, and now violates the most solemn pledges—proving the very Pharaoh to the slaves--making loyalty odious end punishing patriots, (remember the New Orleans massucre,) has no right to ex pect support for "My Policy" from any man more attached to the true principles of govern ment and the absolute principles of truth than to his own pocket. Bread and butter are pre cious articles to bo sure, but honesty, virtue, and a spirit of independence in mutters of right aro more precious still. Federal offico-bolders of Lehigh, will you, eon you sacrifice your most solemn convictions to cower before the treacherous demands, if nothing worse, of his 'accidency,' the self styled "Tribune of the pe9plet" Gentlemen, do you understand ? A word to the wise is sufficient. FUN AND EARNEST. Ladies Shawls and Drees Goods will be sold below coat, at Weiss' store, 'No. 51 IL Hamilton street. n...111en soratch their head for ideas.
