TJONGEESSIOHAL CONPEEEKOE.
At a meeting of the Union Conferees of
the 19th Congressional District, in Ilidgway
on Thursbay evening, the 15th inst., Benj.
Hartshorn, of Clearfield, was appointed
President, and J. B. Gara of Erie, Sec'y.
The list of Conferees being called for, the
following gentleman reported their names:
Erie county J. B. Gara, Amos Gould,
S. E. Woodruff, W. W. Eaton, and S. B.
Benson.
Wf rren county Harrison Allen and Da
vid McKelvy.
McKeau county G. M. Smith, YV. "W.
Brown and Dr. J. Darling.
Elk count v Charles McVean, Henry
Souther and V. W. Wilbur.
Jefferson county S. W. Temple, and Dr.
A. M. Clark. (These gentlemen appeared
in place of the regular appointed Conferees,-
by request of the Convention.)
Cameron county L. T. Moore and F. B.
ILuket.
Clearfield county Benjamin Hartshorn,
Daniel Livingston and Win. Woodward.
Forest county (Not, represented.)
On motion, ,'f. B. Gara and Harrison Al
len were appointed a committee on resolu
tions. ,
On motion of Henry Souther Esq r, ot
Elk county, the Convention proceeded to
nominate candidates for Congress. S. Fj.
Woodruff lv-q'r. of Erie county, named the
lion. G. W. Scofield, who being the only
caudidate proposed, was on motion of 3Ir.
Souther nominated by acclamation.
S. B. Benson and Dr. J. Darling were
then appointed a committee to inform Mr.
Scofield of his nomination, and escort him
to the Convention he happened to be in
the place. Mr. Scofield was immediately in
troduced, and after expressing thanks for
the honor conferred, made some clear and
forcible remarks in illustration of the im
portance of the present election campaign.
The committee on resolutions reported the
following, which were adopted:
Iiffolr.nl, That in nominating, unani
mously as we do, the lion. G. W. Scofield
as- the Union candidate for Congress in the
lyth District, we take pleasure in bearing
testimony to his worth as a man and his a
bility and efficiency as a legislator, mid cor
dially recommend him to the support of the
loyal vo:rsof the Pi-trict.
A resolution was also proposed and adop
ted instructing the county committees of tho
District to take action, determining the num
ber of Conferees to which each county will
hereafter be entitled.
It was then moved and seconded that the
proceedings of the Conv ention le 'published
in the various Union newspapers of the
District, after which the Comention ad
journed. Signed by the officers,
THE DIFFERENCE.
In a recint letter to thi J -ax, ':Occa
siou d" contrasts tha acceptance of President
Lineoln and that of Gen. Mc-CLd'an. in the
following forcible manner :
" JJ-'lifri.ig that t!tc ci-tc- here cxprcsr,l
ore tlm-i1.' !' tilt (Jnuvriit ion mol tin; jwnplc
iiii represent, I uct'ipt the. iioMMdtion."
These words are contained in the last
paragraph of the letter of acceptance of
Major General George B. McCleiian. Are
th"t ti !('..' That is the ouostion. When we
retiect that the mm who writes these words
wa educated at West Point, and claims to
be on that account, one of "the chivalry,"
and especially a soldier and a gentleman,
we may well wonder at an assertion like
his. Hi! "bjlieves" th it tlu views he ex
presses are those of the Convention that
nominated him, and as he does:, not reject
the platform, it is a fair presumption that
he approves the resolution of that Con
vention which demands that '"immediate
efforts be made for the cessation ot hostili
ties." In other words, that he sanctions the
monstrous idea, of an armistice between the
Federal Government and the rebel traitors.
Hat how nre these two jiosiiiojis to be rccon
t iletl The Convention practically declares
in favor of an armistice. General McClei
ian declares in favor of continued war for th
preservation of the Uniou; and in view of
the fact thac the one position defeats and re
bukes and destroys the other, he coolly tells
us that he believs his opinions expressed in
his letter of acceptance are those of the
Convention that nominated him! We re
member nothing in
the tergiversations of
nartv ooiitieians so
discreditable as this.
General McClcllau certainly could not have
meant to say that the Convention declared
in favor of an armistice and for an immedi
ate cessation of hostilities, and yet approved
his letter. Can he believe as he says? if it
be so, then the Convention is a fraud, or
General McCleiian himself has violated the
truth. Now mark the difference between
McCleiian and Lincoln. Wheu the resolu
tions of the Baltimore Comention were pre
sented to Abraham Lincoln, he said, in a
single sentence, "The vomiti'dion is grent
Julltl accf-ptrd, us the resolution of the Con
vention, called the phitform, ore heartih ap
proved." No" qualifieatios here; n) false
and dishonest front, but an earnest and em
phatic endorsement of the work of the men
w ho had put him before the people for re
election. He heartily approves the Balti
more platform, because in that platform
there is not a word nor a sentence that has
not been inspired by earnest attachment to
the Government, by gratitude for our brave
men in the army, by a desire to conclude
peace on the basis of the restoration of the
Union, by hatred to slavery as the cause of
the war, by a determination to maintain the
national faith inviolate and to redeem tho
public debt, and by utter ignoring of all
sects or parties until the war is happily eon
eluded and the Republic vindicated. But
it would seem that General McCleiian fears
his platform, and yet while fearing it, and
doubting it, and while writing a letter which
he desires the people to understand as in op
position to it, he. yet coolln says ia his letter
of acceptance that he Itelieves ths vtewsheex
j.resxes in that letter are the views of the Con
vention itself! I think no man, in or out of
TniMif. lif and no soldier, in or out of the
army, has ever deliberately placet! himself J
in a more inextricable dilemma.
TEE "WAE NEWS.
Very little of general iraporta.ee has
transpired in our armies during the past
week. . Some relel cavalry succeeded in
driving off a lot of cattle from ner City point,
on the James river, beside which nothing of
an exciting nauire has occurred.
Certiuas, a Mexican commander is repor
ted as being advanced upon, and driven the
rebels out of Brownsville, Texas hoisted
the American Flag and offered Lis servi
ces, and that of his army, to the United
States. There is said to have been much
rejoicing among the Mexicans, and people
of Brownsville, on seeing the Stars- and
Stripes once more unfurled in that city.
