CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 26, 1865.
THE NEWS.
The country will be gratified to learn that
Capt. Wier, lately prison keeper at Ander
6onvilIe, is shortly to be on trial for the cru
elty and barbarity practiced by him upon
our piisoners confined at that place. The
charges enibrcee a list of atrocities that is
little short of fiendish, and will arou.se the
indignation of the civilized world. The
Government is now engaged in the collec
tion of testimony, preparatory to the trial.
Let the soldiers who survived their impris
onment at this prison put Col. Chapman in
possession of any essential facts.
During the progress, recently, -of the pro
ceeding in the United States District Court
in New Orleans, for the confiscation of the
rebel Commissioner Udell's estate in that
city, a claim for 29,000 frjncs was put in
by the Paris banking house of Meanard !c
Co., and one for 100.000 francs by the Bank
of New Orleans, money advanced to the
traitor on mortgage. Judire Burrell decid
ed that Slidell was an enemy to the Govern
ment, and that these claims could not be en
tertained.
New Jersey is the only Northern State
that refused to adopt the Constitutional a
rnendment abolishing slavery. Wednesday
last the Union Convention assembled f jr the
nomination of State officers, when a resolu
tion was adopted declaring that New J ersey
(shall adopt the amendment. Upon this the
Union party appeals to the people. The is
sue is squarely made, and the opposition
must squarely meet it. The Union party
will succeed, and the amendment will be
carried.
A private letter from Matamoras, written
by a gentleman well versed in Mexican af

verv few have enlisted in the Liberal cause.

their enlistment.
During a terrible rain storm at Leaven
Tvorth, Thursday night, the creek running
through the southern portion of the city o
verflowed its banks and carried awav stone
bridges, eighteen or twenty houses, horses,
waffons and property of all kinds. The loss
of life is not yet known. Seven bodies were
found this morning. Many were doubtless
swept away in houses. The loss is estimat
ed at $200,000.
The climax has been capped by the owner
of Libby Prison, who has sent in his bill for
rent of that sweet institution from April 3,
1S65. We suppose the next thing we shall
hear will be that a bill has been sent in for
payment from the United States Treasury
for the land on which the Union soldiers,
starved to death at Salisbury and Andcrson
ville, are buried.
In the north-western part of South Caro
lina, where United States troops have not
been during the rebellion, the people, it is
stated, still prefer "Confederate currency"
to the United States greenbacks. They will
find plenty of their fellow-citizens in other
more fortunate parts of the State willing to
accommodate them in their preferences.
Advices from Galveston say about 75,000

THE EEC0ED.
"The Democrats nf fllearfield said noth
ing but what they had a perfect right to
say ; and took no position, upon any ques
tion, that they are ashamed of, or vntctlhng
to stand bu."D. W. Moore s valedictory,
July 10th, 1S65.
The following are some of the things ol
which the Democracy of Clearfield "are not
ahf.med," and will "stand by," according
to tb above prophecy of Daniel :
"T am oDDosed to the reception of Gov
ernor Johnson for no personal reason ; but,
sir, I am unwilling to recognize his present
official positiou. He is not Governor of
Tennessee in my view of the law. ... I
am opposed to the resolution because 1 am
unwilling to counteuance any ol those men
who have rendered aid and comfort toward
this Administration mirk me towards
sustaining this Administration in its uncon
stitutional, unwarranted and unnecessary
measures. Andrew Johnson is ne ot those
who has gone farthest, who has been the
mostultrt of the ultra in sustaining the vi
rulent measures of the Administration at
Washington. . . . And men who, like An
drew Johnson, are willing to trample the
Constitution under foot, are in transition ;
they will in the early future, be hurried in
drtrk oblivion." W. A. Wallaces speech,
Senate. March 6. 1SG4: and Mr. . did
vote against the use of the Senate Chamber
bv Andrew Johnson, to address the citizens
of Pennsylvania.
"I vote against this bill upon principle,
as well as for form" (the amendment to
the Constitution allowing our soldiers in the
army to vote) 11'. 1. Wallace's speech,
JWt, 1SG4; and Mr. W. voted a
gainat the Amendment.
Mr. Wallace and Two Thousand and
Eighty-two of his political friends voted a

franchise to our gallant soldiers in the fields

gust 10t, 1864.
"He would not contribute one man, nor
one farthing, to prosecute the war for the
unlawful purposes set forth by Mr. Lin
coln." Sec Mr. Bi'jlers speech, August I'd,
1864.
"That a war of more than three years' du
ration, and of. unnarallellcd magnitude.
should be sufficient to convince all rational
minds that the Union cannot be re-established
bv the sword." Resolution, August 13.
1SG4.
"It was not siinjilya partisan display. (the
meeting on A tgust 13th.) but a demonstra
tion of the people (the Democracy) to con
vince our rulers (Andrew Johnson included)
that their present war policy is cor detuned,
and that if thev would carry out the popu
lar wilL (of the Clearfield Democratic poli
ticians,) they must resort to peaceful nego
tiations as the only hope of averting final
and irretrievable ruin." Clearfield Repub
lican, August it, 18t4.
Truly, an interesting and instructive rec
ord have the "Democratic" leaders of Clear
field made within the past four years. They
refused to allow Andrew Johnson to speak
in the Senate Chamber of Pennsvlvania. and
7w tiatm w uc me exclusive advocates
of "free speech." They refused to pass the
bill granting our brave soMiers in the field
the privilege of the elective franchise, and
20s3 of them voted against that Amend
ment on the 2d of August, and still they
pretend to be the soldiers' warmest and best
frier ds. They openly refused to contribute
another man or another farthing to prose
cute the war, and declared "that the Union
could not be re-established by the sword"
because the war was a failure, yet they as
sert they are the only true patriots in our
midst.
Such is a part of the public doings of the
"Democracy" of Clearfield county, during
the war; and which, according to their can
didate for County Treasurer, "they had a
perfect right to say," and of which "they
are not ashamed" nor "unwilling to srfand
by." In addition to the above, the leaders
declared that the President had "forfeited
all claim to their confidence, respect and o
bedience" that Mr. Lincoln was a "tyrant
and usurper" that our brave soldiers
were "hell-hounds" and that Andrew
Johnson was a "drunkaid and buffoon."
All these things are worthy the serious con
templation of candid men ; and especially
of those who perilled their lives in defence
of the Union.
Better Late than Eevcr.
Our neighbor Goodlander, in his salutato
ry to the readers of the Republican says :
"About one year ago a 'military necessi
ty,' compelled us to vacate the editorial
chair. The country being ruled, by spies,
pimps, mobs and Provost Marshals ; and
this homogeneous mass being opposed to the
Constitutional privilege of "free speech"
and a "free press ;" we thought it best to
subside, until this class of things should be
come extinct, and our rulers at Washington
conform with the oath they have taken."
This "confession" will, perhaps, be news
to the public generally, and if George hadn't
told it himself, he might not have been sus
pected of doing anything which would have
come under the cognizance of "Provost Mar
shals," or others whose duty it was to pro
tect the government against its enemies.
But as "an open confession is good for the
soul," we trust George will receive the full
measure of benefit to which he may deem
himself entitled by such admissions.
The Appointmens of II. II. Helper to
the Assessorship of the Third District, N.
C, has given great offence to the Copper
heads of the North. Mr. Helper is a South
ern man, and years ago compiled a book
from official facts and figures to show the
rottenness of slavery and the expense it was
to all the States to maintain the institution.
For this labor Helper invoked the anger of
Northern Democrats because it endangered
the source of their political power, and the
hatred of Southern traitors, because it ex
posed the atrocity of the effort to destroy
the American Union. '
"WHAT THEY THINK 1
As a specimen of the ribaldry with which
the National authorities, through whose in
defatigable and firm exertions the murder
ers of the late President were brought to
jucticc, are treated by some of the "Demo
cratic" leaders, ,we make a few extracts
from several of their papers. The articles
from which we quote, bear the. impress of
careful preparation, by the leaders of the
so-called Democracy, and no doubt are their
true sentiments notwithstanding their re
cent pretended favorable opinions of An
drew Johnson and his Administration :
From the Selinfgrove (Pa.) Times.
First, and beyond any reasonable doubt, it
is clearly evident that this military commis
sion had no legal jurisdiction to try these
cases and sit in judgment upon the life of
anv citizen. . . . Guilty or not guilty, the
accused aud condemned had a great injustice
done them by being denied the benefit of
the law. . . . The trial was arbitrary, and
even not a fair one of its kind. It was a u
surpation military power trampling under
foot the civil law as well as justice it-
elf. . . . Iu view ol these facts, what a
horrible crime the President and his officials
have committed! It is a disgrace to the age
and country in which we live. There is not
a crime recorded in J' ox s Iook ot .Martyrs
that is more abominable in the sight of rea
son and in the light of justice than this trial
and these executions. Even if all had been
guilty of the charges, the crime of trying
and executing them in this manner, and lor
the reasons it was done, is equally as hei
nous. It is not even graced with the digni
ty of "judicial murder." It is simply an
official murder, done by those in authority
because they were full of the spirit of re
venge to which they wished to give vent and
because they had the poiccr. There was
not a man engaged in that military commis
sion, including the President, who gave his
voice and vote in lavor of the sentence pass
ed, but who, equally with Payne, deserved
to be hung by the neck until dead. There
never was such a crime committed in this
country before this. Asa people we have
been disgraced, and the people of all civiliz
ed nations will be shocked at this great offi
cial murder, committed in the greatest and
most boasting Ilepublic of the nineteenth
century. President Johnson has forever
tarnished his character and reputation.
Trom the Ecllefonte (Pa.) Watchman.
If those, who without the shadow of au
thority, sat in judgment upon these suspect
ed people, taking evidence, sentencing and
carrying into c fleet that sentence, can clear
themselves of the crime of murder, it will
remove a stain from the hands of the govern
ment, and a blush from the brow of c it izens
that boast of its power and justice. It is not
because we have sympathy for the assassin
or conspirator, or would shield the guilty
from the fate they deserve, that leads us to
denounce the executions of these four per
sons, bv that Star Chamber Court, as a cold
blooded, deliberate murder; but because
the law.ot which,weasa peopie, have boast
ed in the past, will condemn the principal
them we have little reason to doubt, vet that
does not excuse the parties that tried them.
The evidence upon w hich they were convict
ed was taken before a "court" equally as
unlawful as the crime with which they were
charged, and the individuals that pronoun
ced them "guilty," sentenced them to death,
and executed them, had no more authority
iu law for so doing, than had these men for
entering into a Conspiracy to take the life
of Abraham Lincoln. . . . And what ex
cuse will President Johnson have for the
important part he plays in this murderous
role? ... lie has perpetrated a wroncr
that can never lie righted a deed that will
brand him as the usurper of authority, the
violater of law, and hand his name down to
after ages, stained and blackened with the
guilt of this horrible crime. Let us hear
no more of his Democracy, of his abhorrence
of wrong and determination to do right.
He has forfeited all claims to the sympathy
or support of those who would see civil law
triumphant, and given himself the unenvi
able title of the Jeffries of America.
Here we have a plain estimate of those
who were instrumental in bringing the mur
derers of Abraham Lincoln to justice. Pres
ident Johnson and those who composed the
court which tried the assassins of Mr. Lin
coln are pronounced by Democratic organs, as
cold blooded heartless vidians murderers
in the sight of God and man and, in the
opinion of the Democratic leaders, ought to
be gibbeted. What more could the so-called
Democratic organs utter? When Mr. Lin
coln was assassinated, these same organs
had little to offer in approval of the act.
But when those who were parties to that
assassination are gibbitcd they are attended
to their execution by the sympathetic howls
of the Democratic journalists, and their pas
sage out of this world is announced as a sure
entrance to God's rest in Heaven! Was
ever audacity carried to greater length, and
sympathy for treason more boldly outspoken?
A Good Symptom.
The dispatch addressed by President
Johnson to Governor Brownlow of Tennes
see, charging him with the duty of exclud
ing illegal voters from the polls, and author
izing him, if found necessary, to use milita
ry force, is a strong proof that the Govern
ment will really execute the laws, and pur
sue no half-way measure or dubious policy
with the men who have been engaged in re
bellion. As Governor Brownlow is the
regularly elected chief executive officer of
Tennessee, and the duty of enforcing the laws
in that Stat is one exclusively within his
province, unless he should see fit to ask aid
from the authorities at Washington, the
significance of the President's dispatch be
comes more apparent. It is in fact, a dec
laration that the Government has not waiv
ed its authority over the States that have
been in rebellion, and does not intend to
waive that authority until the whole civil
machinery shall be thoroughly established
in consoBance with national ideas, and in
conformity with the laws and proclamations
which have grown oat of the war.
VIEWS OF AIT 0BSEEVEE.
A Pennsylvania Democrat, who has been !
spending six weeks at the South, writes
from Alabama to 77ie Public Ledger (Phil
adelphia) as follows :
3IoniLE, Ala., June 21, 1S65. I have
come clown to this part of the country- with
the inteution of casting my lot with it for
the future, and feel impelled to send you a
line to tell of my impression of the people.
I havj been, for some six weeks, iu daiiy
contact with Southern people of all political
shades, and, though I am a poor talker, I
am a good listener, and not a very bad hand
at forming conclusions from a great deal of
hearing. 1 e. me to the Gulf fctates full ot
very fine theories about the necessities of
educating the negro before we could extend
to him the privilege of suffrage. He was
ignorant ; he was bigoted ; he was prej u
diced ; he could not be trusted with the
privilege of a voter until he hd attained a
certain standard of education. Well Sir, I
was never farther away from the truth in my
life. 1 have listened by the hour to the la
miliar, social, unrestrained talk of Southern
people ; and I have been sorry to conclude,
Irom all that I have heard, that the dam
nable heresy -of the States-Rights Doctrine
upon which, with imagined evils threatened
to the institution of Slavery, they based
their acts of Secession and Itebeliion, is as
deeply rooted in their convictions as it ever
was. They have failed to establish the suc
cess of their principles at the bayonet's point
aud the cannon's mouth, but those princi
ples lie as near to the hearts of the great
mass of them as ever, and loyalty to the
Government, as eorwsting a principle with
the great mass of tlie people at the North, is
entirely foreign to the breasts of the masses
in the South. The same hostility that was
openly displayed in arms exists secretly in
the breasts of the Southern people, and is
ready at any time to exert itself, no longer
in overt acts, but in every possible pacific
wa3' to thwart the unity and progress of the
ltepublio. On the other hand, the negro
has but one principle and one "affection. His
principle is devotion to the Union ; his af
fection heart-w hole for the cause that has
restored him to manhood. No doubts of
the justice of ti e cause cross his mind. No
clouds of" casuists' raising obscure his vision.
His instincts alone point out to him the
path he is to tread as a free man, and point
it out unerringly. Who so safe to trust with
the ballot of a freeman as he? Can dema
gogues lead him astray with arts and soph
istries ? I trow not. lie may not know so
much of book-learning as his paler skinned
brother, but he is less likely to be deceived
in what pertains to the advancement of all
members of ue human family, himself ir
cluded. And it you could see, as I have
seen, the colored people of these Southern
cities sitting at their door-step in the moon
light on hot evenings, teaching each other
to spell and to count, regardless of the com
ments of those who passed by, you would not
be slow in coming to the belief that even
the supposed amount of education necessary
to ennble them to vote intelligently will not
be lona wantinff. I, for one, contrary to
all my previous expectations, am fully con-
V 1 tko cofoty for tHe iOUth IS
m the extension ot tree suffrage to the peo
ple of all colors, and I moan to throw my
self into the advocacy of this cause with all
my energy. Far better is the instinct that
teaches loyalty to the Union than the
false education that makes State Tlighs trai
tors. Shall we trust the future of our coun
try to the instinct that inevitably leads to
the right; or to the educated sophistry that
inculcates what is false aud ruinous ? We
are by no mean? ready for a reconstruction
under tho domination of defeated but not con
vinced traitors. "We have had a terrible
war ; let us not cast away its iruits. Let us
have military government in the Southern
States until the sentiment of true loyalty be
gins to be felt; or, if we must have civil
governments reconstructed, let those who
have any cause to love the Union not be put
aside while its interests are confided to the
hands of those who have been its open ene
mies. Death of Bishop Potter.
By telegraph we learn that the Right Bev.
Alonzo Potter, D.D. L L. D., died in
San Francisco on the 4th inst., just six days
before the completion of his sixty-fifth year.
Bishop Potter was born in Dutchess county,
New York , and was a brother of Bishop
Potter of the Diocese of New York. He
was graduated at Union college in IS18, be
came a tutor the ensuing year,and professor
of mathematics and natural philosophy in
1821. Declining the Presidency of the Col
lege at Geneva, N. Y., he accepted an invi
tation to the rectorship of St. Paul's Church
Boston, where he remained until 1831. He
was consecrated as Bishop of Pennsylvania
in 1845, which position he filled until the
time of his death. He has published sever
al books, not much in circulation now, and
occupied a high rank for scholarship and a
bility among eminent prelates of his church
in this country.
The Battle of Bull Eun.
Friday last was the anniversary of the bat
tle of Bull Run. Four years of war on a
scale the world never before saw, have end
ed, and all our armies are going home. The
politician and statesman who does not un
derstand what has been fougho out, or what
is the verdict of the war, is groping ir
wretched ignorance. So far from being a
safe leader of others, he is liable to fall into
a bottomless pit any moment. These four
years of fighting and suffering mean some
thing, and he is a pitable object, North or
South, white or black, who does not know
what.

Destructive Freshet.
A very destructive freshet oecu.red in the
Sehirylkill on Tuesday monrnig of lastweek.
It was perhaps the most sudden and disas
trous that has accurredin that stream since
the spring of 1847. The banks were over-
flowed and lumber, canal lats, houses, fen
ces, bridges, etc., were carried away. A
number of lives, were lost ; and in one in-
tance it is said, a house with the family liv
ing in it were swept away.
An Irish correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune having claimed that four-fifths of
the Union army, during the late war, were
Irishmen, that paper dvK'lares that a careful
inspection of the army rolls will show that
not exceeding 50,000 men of Irish nativity
fought in the Union ranks. Of the whole
1,500,000 names on the rolls, eighty per
cent, are native born.
Gov. Murphy, of Arkansas, reports a de
plorable state of affairs in that State. He

their troops to disband themselves before
their surrender, so that they have scattered
themselves in every direction, taking arms

without discrimination. There is much des
titution in the State.
