Clearfield The Effrontery of the Chicago Platform . Party. Richard Brinslet Siteiiidan, picked up from the gutter, and taken before the ln"n"s niaistrate, was asked his name. llliam Wilborforce" -was the reply. It is a cool piece of inpudence in the Demo cratic hummers found in the last rebel ditch, and arraigned before the people, to call themselves the Administration party. As a joke, a specimen of that sort which con sists in oddncss of contrast, it would have been laughable enough. But these worth ies don't in the least mean it as such. They reauy imagine tnat they can pass themselves off to the people as Andrew Johnson's special champions. We are not for putting t'.e screws upon the copperheads of the late.war. There is no denying that their conduct was thorough ly detestable. So was that of the rebels. But the same public nolicv which dictated an amnesty for the rebels also prompts an act of oblivion for the copperheads. Their past action is a blot unon the American character, and the effort .should- be to efl';tL'e rather ihan perpetuate it. And again, con ciliation is indispensable to reeoutrucricn. i inc; je-Kiiitini M uio nation i tn?t: nl its spirit should nrevail evc-rrwhari;. Nor.h as well a South.

They keep to their proper place, y-i 'tending to be iiothing that they are not, an 1 avoid all invidiou-: comparisons. Lut their id symnathio.-s i:i th;i North are noi all content to act in a ,-Snii'ar way. It L-is i'onw a tioufi.-tnod habit with th'era to c:a.m to be the special atuw-r,v,.c r.v -,., ro.-i tent, and to taii in his name 'a$rttHwm-urfircis fCrday, and now to nominate bre.ikins up the Union party. A coining to this country would rather nothing ! else from their style of speech than tin" - they ipiito mono-polizi? all ltc patrwilsia Oi'f tUo No:th, and that I hey were the main re nance of i'msidenk Jolixsox, in carrying through the great work of restoration. The assumption is as absurd as it is im pudent. Tbe llenrocratic party, so-called, lias prauniuv ii"thii;cr to do with recon struction. Congress alone is the co worker with the President in it, and fonv fifths of both branches of Congress I long to the U nion party tho same party which so grandly carried the war through to its triumphant consummation. In fact, the IVcbident lias already nearly accomplihcd his share of the work. I Jo has appointed suitable Provis ional Governors, has procured the election of iStato conventions, representing all wc!l disposed citizens : and nearly all that re mains for him to do is to receive tho new constitutions which have been, and will be adopted by the.;e bodies, ami transmit them to Congress for its formation and guidance in determining how to treat the Southern Senators and Representatives who wilt bo in the meantime elected. When these Sen ators and Representative; are received and sworn in, the reconstruction will be com plete ; and it will all have been accomplished by the Union party exclusively its incep tion by the Union President, its consuma tion by the Union Congress. The late Con- perhols of the North, whose representa tion in Congress was almost annihilated by tlio storm of popular wrath aorainst them for their recreancy to the old Sag, should content themselves with looking on, while the patriotism and wisdom of the Union party accomp.isn the work. We trust that Congress will be able to perform its share in the business without serious dtiheulty or delay, x et it is impos sible to know yet that such will be the case. Much will depend upon the prevailing spirit in the South as manifested in the character of the mtfn elected to the National councils. If they should generally be made up of ma lignant?, with tho old rebel spirit still at work in them, of course they would find an admission far "more difficult than if they were men sincerely devoted to the govern ment, and ready to meet all the duties of the new epoch like true patriots, ihe fit ness of the Southern States for an immediate resumption of their old place in the Union will be largely determined by the men whom they send to represent them. There are other questions which will doubtless be con sidered : as whether more complete securi ties should not be required for the future protection of the lights ot freedmen : wheth er pledges ought not to be taken in some shape against all attempts to repudiate any part of tho debt contracted for the suppres sion of the rebellion ; whether the mere re peal of the ordinance of secession, as has been done by bouth Carolina, which pre supposes the original validity of the ordi dance, is compatible with a truly lo-al spirit. These and other questious may be dicussed by Congress, with what conclusion no man can jet say. Jut one tuing is certain: they can be safely left to tho disposal of the partvwhieh stood by the covernment through the war. The administration and the people will, alike, look to the Union Party in Congress, and nowhere else, for the pa triotic and sure settlement of all mooted points. Ihere is uot the slightest ground for the expectation that there will be any ma terial disagreement between the t resident and the Union party in Congress in their final views. There never was a wilder chi mera than the fancy of the Chicago Platform arty that the President will turn to them for help. There is no necessity about hi m that can call for it ; no .spirit in him that couiu endure it. ; If this party choose, to nrofess 'confidence now in the man whose public action during ice war is stigmatized without stint, nobody will eomolain Tbe act wmil.l pleasure, as tending to reopen the souT of tne party to something ot his spirits But this claiming to be his- special body-guard, his particular defenders, against the designs and dt vices of that grand political organiza tion which struggles with him for the saving of the country and through which he has derived all his power, is a presumption that can only excite his disdain and general de rision.

You arc on the eve of a most important election. Both political organizations have announc ed tiieir platforms, and presented their candidates for vour suflrasres.

A. Wallace, "Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania," wa3 a mem ber of that body from the Clearfield district. The proceedings subjoined took place on the Oth cf March,' 1SG4 : Whereas, Governor Andrew Johuscn, of Tennessee, a true and loyal man whose devo tion to the Union is fully attested by his sacrifices and euort in the cause of his coun try ; and cx-Governor Joseph A.

After some opposition it was finalh mended, by adding lhe words "and that when Major General George 13.

" On the motion for final passage the yea.s and nays were required, by Messrs. Clym and Hiestand and were as follows: Yeas. Messrs. Boughter, Round, Con noil, Fuller, Hamilton.

The resolution as amended was agreed to, At the times these proceedings took place the loyalStates were covered with gloom The Government was indescribably embar rassed by the successess of the rebels anc the plots ot the Copperheads, lo give confidence to the people, and to strength en our beleagurcd and suffering armies in the field, Andrew Johnson consented to address his countrymen in Pennsylvania and other States. lie was accompanied by Jo seph A. Weight," lately appointed by him American Minister to Bt rlin, and wherever they appeared they were welcomed by great ful crowds. The fact that they had been able and influential Democrats rendered their arguments peculiarly irresistable. But when they got to Harrisburg, neither the despondent and desperate condition of the Country, nor the unparalled persecutions of Andrew Johnson by the rebels, nor his brilliant services in the Democratic ranks, make the slightest impression upon Mr. Wallace and his Democratic colleagues. At that time there was not a negro more odious to Mr. Wallace and Ids friends than the "recreant Democrat" and "military despot" Andrew Johnson; and none, not even Mr. Lincoln, who was so ridiculed and denounced. At that tlme, too, An drew Johnson stood precisely where he now stands. His speeches then were the fountains from which all his declarations, since his Presidency have been taken. We shall have more to' say on this inter esting subject "Meanwhile, we think the good people of our State will hardly decide to entrust Andrew Johnson's policy of reconstruction to men who hound him like a convict while he wa3 an humble citizen, and only became his friends when he was called into the Presidency. Press. Views of the Treatment of Sebels of the U nion Party and the Democracy. The able address of Hon. John Cessna, treats fully of the vexed question of the fu ture treatment of Rebels, ami in its exhaus tive review of the Status of the seceeded States has explained fully the position and sentiment of the Union party. ; That the previous acts of the South have placed them helpless in our hands, have deprived them of every claim to mercy, and removed from them every right wbich they may desire to demand, is tudy and clearly shown in the Committee's Address. We will therefore, take it for granted that no defence, on tha score of right will be made, and cousider their future treatment in the light of expe diency. We evidently have lhe right to treat them as we see fit . The words of the address cannot be im proved upon in this connection. It is in deed, true that we must be merciful, but mercy must be tempered with justice. "In discriminate mercy to the enemy would be danger and injustice to the nation. - We must neither sock nor ask for vengcaice. Whenever our late adversaries come in a true spirit of sorrow and repentance, sheath the sword and agree to obey the law, in the future we will extend to them the right hand of fellowship and forgive them for the past. After they shall have given us satis factory security for the future, by a reason able probation, we will then, but not till then, restore them to the enjoyment of all the inestimable rights and high privileges which they so rec-.ntly, so defiantly, and so cau.-e!c;sly tram pit d uuder their feet. For defiant and unyielding Rebels; for those who keep the sword still drawn, rcekir? with the blood of our brothers; for those who refuse to accept and submit in good faith to the remits of the war; for all who glory in the part they took in the Rebellion, and who still insists that they are right and (he nation wrong, we suust have confisca tion, loss of citizenship, and in the end ban ishment or the halter." It will, therefore, be the the policy advo-. caied py the union party at this tnm t.- principles for which we have shed so nuifth cf our best blood, and incurred. such a vast national debt. "By their deeds ye shall know them." As Ions, therefore, as we sen South Carolina Meeting her late Rebel Gen erals to the highest posts ' in her gift.; as long as Richmond chooses a rampant Rebel f or her Mayor, so Ions- will we favor ihn holding of the South in a provincial condi tion. The moment,, however, they change their conduct, elect good Uuion men, and bv t hei r course of action exhibit a repentance for at oiienees. and a determination to act otiierwi.-e- hi the future, from that moment we arc in favor of admitting thorn once mora intf J jur family of Commonwealths. Such are t ae principles of our party ; and now let us k lor a moment at the Doctrines of the Democracy. The principles of our opponents.howover ' ar opposed to everything but self aggran disement They favor the immediate exten sion to the South of all the privileges and rights which th ;y enjoyed beforo the com mencement ofthc Rebellion. They would have them once more elect their own Gov ernors, manage their own internal affairs, disfranchise all Unionists, honor all traitors, au l, glorying in their crimes, rcttun onco more to insult the intelligence and loyalty of the Senate and House with their vile utter ances of treason and heresy. They would give the patronage of Government once more to all who have their bauds yet reek ing with loyal blood. Moseby would be a Congressman and IV:e, a Senator ; and why we naturally ask, do they favor this.magna nimity this forgiveness ? Is it because the prosperity of our whole country would bo increased by the adinissiou of such men to the highest councils of the nation? They can not think si. They must see as clearly as we'do that the honoring -tit arrogant traitors is a degradation of our national honor.an in sult of our national pride. It is because the entire vote of the Southern Rebels will be cast in favor of the Northern Democrats. It is because tha late Rebels will vote with their friends those who have been consistently their friends throughout all the treasonable course in eood and ill their very dear friends. These men will lend their aid to secure for the Democrats the management of tho national Government, and we shall see . another partv, hideous in its form, arbe on the two-fold basis of State rights and the assumption of the Rebel debt We do not write in haste : we sneak not only from conjecture but from knowledge. It requires not second-sight orseer-like wis dom to predict the result of the success of the Democracy this fall. The South will be hailed not as a defeated and dangerous ele ment, but as one whom it behooves the lov al men at the North to bow and cringe to. and seek for their favor and . kind consid eration. This snake with a syren'n head will coil and crawl into tbe highest placea of our Government Shall we be rul ed by traitors, or shall the loyalty of our land be rewarded with" posts of honor? " Shall Generals in the Union or Generals in the Rebel army be selected for civil po sitions? It is for youjlto decide which it shad be. lfiinkot it well before you cast your vote or lend your influence. PhiVa Lveninj Jdegropii.
