Letter from Hon. Hiseter Clymer.
Reading, January 7.—Hiester Cly-
mer hes written a letter to the Hon.
William Hopkins, of Washington
County, declining to be a candidate
for the Gowernorship of the State.
In and out of Congress the question
has been stated whether the general
amnesty proclamation of President
Johnson was in accordens with law, in
as much as there has been no convic-
tion, there could be no pardon. The
President claims the power under the
Constitution, and the Supreme Court
has made the following decision.
“The Constitution provides that the
President shall have power to grant
pardons for offenses against the United
States; except in case’ of impeachment.
The power thus conferred is unlimi-
ted, with the exception stated It ex-
tends to every offense known to the law,
and may be exercised'at any time af-
ter its commision, either before legal
proceedings are taken; or during: their
pendency, or after conviction and
judgement. The power of the Presi-
dent is not subject to legislative control.
Congress can neither limit-the effecttof
this pardonnor exclude from its exer-
cise any class of offenders. The benign
prerogative of mercy reposed in him
cannot be fettered by any legislative
restrictions.”
Wepresume this is clear enough.

Had we nothing but that reason to

this horrible distortion of the moral as

One of the highest exhibitions of the
moral, subiime, the world ever witnes-
sed, was-that of Daniel Webster, when
in an open barouche in the streets of
Boston, he prce’aimed in substance,
to a vast ass.mbly of his constituents
—unwilling hearers—that “they had
conquered an uncongenial clime ; they
had conquered a sterile soil ; they had
conquered the winds and currents of
the ocean ; they had conquered mo. tof
the elements of nature ; but they must
yet learn to conquer their prejudices.”
Candid reader, are you one of those
who forms his opinions on doubtful
statements? Do yow condemn, like
the Bostonians, before you: hear all the
facts ? In politics, is your party al-
‘ways in-the right and the other in the
wrong? In religion; is goodness only
found in those who believe with you?
If so, do youtknow that vou are erec-

You receive truth only in so far as it
suits your private ends. Break up, 1

Let Truth prevail.
