R. J. ROW, COITOR AHD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 23, 18G6.
A Hew Party Movement.
We see it stated that the copperhead pol
iticians and newspapers, in various locali
ties, are endeavoring to induce Republicans
to form a new party under the title of "Con
servatives;" if they want to sustain the
President The true Republicans, or the
true Union men cannot be cajoled into any
such organization, as it is evident that the
movement is only intended to place the Cops
in the assendency throughout the country ;
in fact, it is said, that these "conservatives"
are to be backed up by that party. But as
the Republicans have maintained the cause
of freedom and fought the battle3 of the
Union successfully, during four years of a
most terrible war, against the combine
force of Cops and traitors, they will not
now compromise themselves by surrender
ing to the enemies of that Union. There
may be some who have been acting with the
Union party so base as to attempt its be
trayal into the hands of its enemies, but
they will utterly fail in their designs. They
re not the friends of the Union, and wil
soon be found seeking refuge in the ranks
of thjr Copperhead allies.
A Veto A Speech
On our first page, to-day, we publish the
message of President Johnson to Congress,
disapproving of the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill, recently passed by that body. We
print the message entire, so that our read
ers can judge for themselves of its merits,
It will be real with interest by all. After
the return of the bill to the United States
Senate by the President, thai body failed
to pass it by a two-thirds vote, and hence it
has not become a law.
We also publish, in another column a
telegraphio report cf a speech made by Presi
dtnt Johnson, on the 22d of February, in re
ponse to some resolutions passed by a pub
lic meeting, held in Washington city on
that day. As this speech will attract much
attention and comment throughout the
country, we print it to the exclusion of our
usual summary of Congressional and Legis
lative proceedings. We hope our readers
will give it a caref ul perusal
Not Improving. The testimony of
R. E. Lee before the Reconstruction Com
mittee does not give a cheering view of the
tone of feeling in Virginia. It shows that
the public feeling is not as favorable to the
United States Government as it was imme
diately after the rebellion was crushed.
There may be a difference of opinion about
the cause of this, but the fact must be ad
mitted. We have no doubt that the fact
is fairly attributable to the press and the
politicians of the South. This opinion is
confirmed by the recent action of the Gov
ernment in relation to the pros?, and by its
previous action with reference to Governors
who indulged in disloyal talk.
Increasing Recklessness. The im
port entries at New York for the past week
amount to $3,133,295, as against the total
entries of $3,772,GC1 the same week last
year. The export clearances of domestic
produce amount to $3,777,267, against $7,
078,813 same week last year. Thus the
tables are reversed. We import eight mil
lions and export three millions, instead of
exporting seven millions and importing
three, as we did last year. The dullest
arithmetician can see that this recklessness
cannot go on long without producing a
crash. "Always taking out of the meal
tub and putting none in, soon comes to the
bottom.
CorPERHEADS AND NEGROES. The Ilol
lidaysburg Register says : "Gaysport bor
ough ( Blair county) leads the van in the mat
ter of Equal Rights. At the election last Fri
day, Major John Thomas, colored, received
the highest number of votes for constable.
When it is considered that this borough is
the pride of the Democracy, the "Little
Berks" of the State, always sure for a Demo
cratic majority, the election of Major Thomas
is a sign that the world moves. Every Dem
ocrat who voted for constable voted either
for Major Thomas or Jimmy Gallaher.
When the vote was counted the Major had
four of a majority." It would Iseem that
the Gaysport Democracy think more of a
"nigger" than of an Irishman.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, under date ot February
23d says: "The character of those who
last night went to serenade the President
.may be judged by the circumstance that
three ot the prominent leaders or the crowd
walked up to the bar of Williard's IToteLr
"and with great parade drank the toast
'The three greatest Americans Jefferson
Davis, Andrew Johnson, and Robert E.
Lee.'"
It is said, that as soon as the news of the
veto arrived in Dayton, Vallandigham ran
out the American flag from the windows of
his house ! During all the long weary war
lie nevr displajpd that flag in rejoicing over
a Urnon victory. What doe all this mean ?
The Eichmond Examiner.
The Richmond Examiner was suppressed
on the 13th. As tne order preceded from
General Grant it is probable that it was tor
articles which appeareJ some days before.
On the moring of that day the Exaininer
contained an article on the interview between
the President and the negro committee,
which the Editor regards as one of the
'miraculous occurrences of this day of wild,
ocial revolution." The Examiner declares
that a war of races is here to take place
a collision to be followed by blood and the
extermination of one of the races, near at
hand and hard to avoid." It then proceeds
as follows :
"The result already demonstrates, what
wise observers of our affairs always declared,
that these two races can not live together
prosperously in the same community, ex
cept in the relation of master and slave.
That is now dissolved hopelessly dissolved

about negro sunrage, aud negro power gen

that we can not undertake to say how near
at hand that issue mav be. ... ly in
troducing at once a sufficient body of white
labor, we not only enormously enhance val

income of the community, but we quietly,

ment of annoyance and of danger, when we
secure a supply ot .Luropean agricultural
labor. It we even fail to put it away, we
all least accumulate new strength in the
coming collision for the white race. ' '
While this language was probably not the
cause for suppressing the Exam merit serves
to show the temper and tone of the paper.
Important Order from Gen. Grant.
The followfng circular letter to comman
ders of military departments was issued by
Gen. Grant:
Head Quarters Armies of the)
United States, Washington, -February
17, lSGG.
You will please send to these headquar
ters as soon as practicable, and from time
to time thereafter, such copies of newspa
pers published in your department as eun
tain sentiments cf disloyalty and hostility to
the Government in any of its brandies, and
state whether such paper is habitual in its
utterance of such sentiments. The persis
tent publication of articles calculated to keep
up a hostility of feeling between the people
of the different sections of the country can
not be tolerated. This information is called
for with a view to their suppression, which
will be done from these headquarters only.
By command of Lieut. Gen. Grant.

Assistant Adjutattfc General.
A Big Oil Strike. The Pittsburg Com
mercial notices a famous oil strike on Pit
hole Creek as having occurred on Mon
day evening Feb. 12th, in what is known as the
"Brutis Well." This well on drawing out
the sucker rods commenced at once to flow
at the rate of eight hundred barrels per day.
As an illustration of the vagaries of fortune
in the oil trade, the largest owner in this
well lately remarked to a friend that the
only reason that he held so much in it
(nine-sixteenths) was because he "co ild get
nothing for it!" Another, the owner of an
eighth, who was employed on the well, had
borrowed all he could raise from his friends,
and hd sunk it in the well, and had made
up his mind, in despair, to start for home
the next day, when the well commenced
flowing. It is needless to say that he had
not left at last accounts.
The Oldest Inhabitant. The oldest
man probably in this State resides in Half
nioon township, Centre county. His name
is Cliristley Vanpool. He was born on the
22d day of June, 1754, and is consequently
in the one hundred and twelfth year of his
age. He retains all his faculties in a re
markable degree,and last harvest worked in
the Sell, sometimes using the cradle, and
cutting ten or fifteen dozen a da'.
There is also a colored woman, named
Jaten Taylor, residing in Milesburg,in Cen
tre county, who is one hundred and six years
of age. Centre county can certainly take
the palm in the item of old inhabitants.
The House of Representatives on Mon
day February 9th adopted two resolutions,
first that the rebellion deprived the people
of the disloyal States of all civil rights; and
second, that it is the duty of Congress in
such case, to enable thepeople of such
States to esatblish a Republican form of
government
The Maine lumbermen have had a con
vention to discuss the reciprocity treaty.
The quantity of lumber cut and manufac

islature, as soon as the President's veto was
received, the Democratic members offered
resolutionsendorsing and appioving it. They

m Iowa. The Iowa Senate passed a resolu
tion instructing the Senators and requesting
the Representatives from that State to sus

by Democratic members endorsing the veto.

SPEECH OF TEE PEE3IDEXT,
At the "White House, on Thursday, Pebrua
arv 22i. 1868.
A mass meeting, in support of the Prcsi- i
dent's policy, was held in aMungton, on ,
the 22d. A scries ot resolutions weri
ed, approving of the course of the President, j
When the meeting closecLUiose present iw m-
d into procession and proceeuca to the ,x-
olutions to the President, he spoke as fol
lows: , ,
Fellow Citizens fori presume 1 have the
right to address you as such to the com-
K i .1.1 1
mittee who have conducted anu orgamzcu
this meeting so far, I have to tender my sin
cere thanks lor the compliment ana appro
bation they have manifested in their personal
address to myself and in the resolutions they
have adopted.
1 am tree to say to you on tins occasion
that it is extremely gratifying to know
that so large a portion of my fellow citizens
approve and endorse the policy that has Wen
adopted, aud is intended to be carried out.
That policy has been one which " was inten
ded to restore the glorious union of the
States, and their original relations to the
Government of the United States
This seems to be a day peculiarly appro
priate for such a manifestation; the day
that gave birth to him who founded this Gov
ernment; the Father of his Country; of him
who stood at the head of this Government.
Then, all these States entered this Union.
This day, I say, is peculiarly appropriate to
endorse the restoration of these States, toun
ded by the Father (l his Country, George
Washington Washington, whose name this
city bears is embalmed in the hearts of all
who love free government Washington,
who was first in peace, first in war, first in
the hearts of his countrymen no people can
claim, no nation can appropriate him. His
reputation and life is the common inheritance
of all who love free government.
1, to-diy, had the pleasure of attending
the National Washington Association, which
is directing its efforts to complete the mon
ument erected to his memory. I was glad
to meet thc-m, and so far as I could, give
them my humble influence. The monu
ment is Using erected wit bin a stone's throw
of the spot from where I addi'ess you. Let
it be completed. Let the pledges which ail
the State associations atid corporations have
placed in-that monument ol their fait! j-.nJ
love lor this Lin m, le preserved, let it
be completed; and in this connection let me
refer lo the motto upon a stone, sent from
my o.vn S:ate. God bless a State whic h has
struggled fr the preservation of the Union
iu the field an. 1 in the councils oi the nation.
A motto is inscribed on that stone. 1 stand
by that sentiment and she i s willing to stand
by it. It was the sentiment enunciated by
the immortal Andrew Jackson, "The Fed
eral Union it must be preserved."
Mr. Johnson. then referred briefly t3 the
conduct of General Jackson in lSLIo, de
nounced as traitors all who attempted to des
troy the country, and reiterated his deter
mination to lit and by the country and the
CoiK-titution. llii thous-ht, in considering
the question ot reconstruction, we should
not deal with all the people in a spirit of re
venge. The South had acknowledged its
allegiance to the Government, and he was
ready to open the doors of the Union, and
restore them to their former relations. He
said there is no one who has labored harder
than I have to have the principal conscious
ami intelligent traitors brought to justice,
and to have the law vindicated. While
conscious, intelligent traitors are to be pun
ished, should whole .states and communities
be made to submit to and bear the penalty
of death ' Let them become loyal and wi'l
iug supporters and defenders ot our glori
ous stars and stripes, and the Constitution
of our country. Lei their leaders, the con scious,
intelligent traitors, suffer the penal
ty of the law. But for the great mass who
have been forced iuto this rebellion and mis
led by their leaders, I say show them leni
ency, kindness, trust and confidence. The
rebellion is put down by the strong arm of
ti e Government, but we are scarcely out of
one rebellion before we are almost in the
midst of another. There is an attempt to
concentrate the powers of the Government
in the hands of a few, and thereby brinar a
bout a consideration, which is equally dan
gerous and objectionable with separation.
Sometimes revolutions most disastrous to
the people are effected without shedding
blood the substance of a Government be
taken away, leaving only the form and sha
dow. We find that, intact, by an irrespon
sible central directory, nearly all the powers
of the Government are assumed, without
even consulting the Legislative or Execu
tive Departments of the Government. By
a resolution reported by a committee upon
whom all the legislative power of the Gov
ernment has been conferred, that principle
in the constitution which authorizes and
empowers each branch of the legislative de
partment to be judges or the election and
qualifications of its own members, has been
virtually taken away from these departments,
and conferred upon a committee, who must
report before they can act under the Consti
tution and allow members duly elected to
take their serts. By this rule they assume
that there must be laws passed, and there
must be a recognition in respect to States
in the Union, with all its practical relations
restored, before the respective Houses of
Congress, under the Constitution, shall
judge of the election and qualification of its
own members. You have been struggling
for four years to put down rebellion. You
denied iu the beginning that any State' had
the right ti go out, and it has been decided
that no State has cither the right or the
power to go out of the Union ; and when
we have settled that by the Executive and
military power of the Government, and In
the public judgment, you turn around and
assume that they are not and shall not come
in. I am free to say to you as your Execu
tive, that I am not prepared to take any
such position. I cannot turn round and
give the direct lie to all I profess, and have
done in the last five years. When these
States comply witli the Constitution, when
they yield obedience to the law, I say ex
tend to them the right hand of fellowship.
I say that when these States comply with
the Constitution ; when they have given suf
ficient evidence of their loyalty, and that
they can be trusted ; when they yield obedi
ence to the law, I say extend to them the
risrht hand of fellowship, and let peace and
Union be the result. But then, gentlemen,
as we swing round their circle, I have fought
traitors and treason in the South. I opposed
the Davises and Tombses, the Slidelfs and
a long list of others, whose names I need
not repeat, and now when I turn around at
the other end of tha line, 1 find them, I
care not by what name you call them, (a j
voice, call them traitors,) who will stand op-
.posed to the restoration of the Union of
these States, and I am free to say to you,
that am still for the preservation of this ;
compact, I am still for the restoration of '
ihe Union, 1 am still in favor of this great j
Government of ours goirg on and following ;
out its destiny. A voice, "Give us the j
names." A gentleman calls for their j
names. Well suppose I should give them, j
A voice, e know them, j I look upon
them, I repeat it, as President or citizen,
as much opposed to the fundamental prin
ciples of this Government, and believe they
are as much laboring to prevent or destroy
them as were the men who fought against
us. I A voice, . nar. are ine names: i
I say Thadcus Stevens of Pennsylvania.
Tremendous applause. I say Charles
Sumner. Great applause. I say Wendell
Phillips and others of the same stripe, are
amonsrst them. (A voice, "(Jive it to For
ney." Some gentleman in the crowd says
give it to Forney. I have only just to say
that I do not waste my ammunition upon
dead ducks. Laughter and applause. I
stand for my country, I stand for the consti
tution, where I placed my feet from my en
trance into rub'ie life. They may traduce
me. they may slander, they may vituperate,
but let me say to yon, that it has no effect
upon me, (cheers.) and let me say to you
that I do not intend to be bullied by eue
mies. Applause and a cry, "the people
will sustain you." I know, my country
men, that it has been insinuated, and not
only insinuated but said directly, the inti
mation has Ler.n given in high places, that
if such a usurpation of power had been ex
ercised two hundred years ago in a particu
lar reign, it would have cost a certain indi
vidual his head. What usurpation has An
drew Johnson been guilty of. None, none.
The usurpation I have been guilty of has
always been standing between the people
and the encroachments of power, and be
cause I dared to say in a conversation with
a fellow citizen, and a Senator too, that I
thought the amendments to the constitution
ought not. to be so frequent ; that their ef
fect would be that it would lose all its dig
uitv; that the old instrument would be lost
si"ht of in a small time ; because I happen
ed to say (hut it it was amended, and such
amendments should be adopted, it was
an usurpation or power that would nave
cost a King his head at a certain time,
(Laughter and applause.) and in connection
with the subject, it was explained by the
same gentleman tha; we were in the midst
of an earthquake, that lie trembled and
could not yield. Laughter. Yes there
is an earthquake c uuiug. There is a grand
swell coming i popular judgment and in
dignation. (That's true.) The America 'i
people, wiil speak by their interests and tli iy
will know who are their friends and who
their enemies. What position 'nave 1 held

launches of the legislature, (a voice, from
a tailor up.") Some gc-uf lemau says I have
been a tailor. (Tremendous applause.)
Now that did not iH-eomtk me in the least,
for when 1 us.'dto be a tailor I had the rep
utation ot being a good one. and making
close fits: (gieat laughter.) always t-uuetna!
with my customers and always did good
work. (A voice, "no patch work.") No,
I do not want any patch work. I want, a
whole suit; but 1 v. ill pa-s by this little
facet iousiiess. My friends may say you are
President, and you must not talk a!ut such
things. When principles are involved, my
countrymen; when the existence of my
country is imperilled, I will act as 1 always
have, and speak. 1 have held nearly a!! po
sitions from Alderman throigh both bran
ches of Congress to that which I now occu
py, and who is there that will say that An
drew Johnson ever made a pledge that he
did not redeem, or a promise he did not ful
fill. Who will say that he has ever acted
otherwise than in fidelity to the great mass
of the people? They may talk about be
heading and usui pat ion ; but when I am be
headed. 1 want the American people to wit
uess. I do not want by inuendos, by indi
rect works in high places, to see the man
who has assassination brooding in his bo
som, exclaim, this presidential abstract must
begotten out of the way. intake use
of a very strong expression when 1 say
that I have no doubt the intention was
to incite assassination, and so get out of the
way the 'obstacle from placed and power,
whether by assassination or not. There are
individuals in this Government, I doubt not,
who want to destroy our institutions and
change the character ot the Government.
Are they not satisfied with the blood which
has been shed? Docs not the murder of
Lincoln appease the vengeance and wrath
of the opponents of this Government ? Are
they still unslaked? Do they still want more
blood ? Have they not got honor and cour
age enough to obtain their objects other
wise than by the hands of the assassin? No,
no, I am not afraid of assassins attack
ing me where a brave and courageous
man would attack another. I only dread
him when he would go in disguise his foot
steps noiseless. If it is blood they want, let
them have courage enough to "strike like
men. I know they are willing to wound,
but they are afraid to strike. (Applause.)
If my blood is to be shed because I vindi
cate the Union and preservation of this
Government in its original purity and chas
tity, let it be shed. Let an altar to the U
nion be erected, and then, if it is necessary,
take me and lay me upon it, and the blood
that now warms and animates my existence
shall be poured out as a fit libation to the
Union of these States. (Great applause.)
But kt the opponents of this Government
remember when it is poured out, the blood
of the martyrs will be the seed of thechurch.
(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, this Union will gr'ow ; it will
continue to increase in strength and power,
though it may be cemented and cleansed
with blood. I have talkel longer, now,
than I intended. Let me thank yoa for the
honor you have done.
Let me say one other word in reference to
the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. When I reached Washing
ton, for the purpose of being inaugurated
as Vice President of the United State-. I
had -a conversation with Mr. Lincoln, We
were talking about the condition of affair;,
and in reference to matters inmytjwn State.
I said that we had culled' a Convention, had
amended cur Constitution by abolishing sla
very in the State a State not embodied in
his proclamation. All this met his appro
bation, and gave him encouragement, and
in talking upon the amendment to the Con
stitution, he said when the amendment to
the Ocoetiuition is adopted by three-fourths
ot the States, we shall have all or pretty
nearly all. I am ia favor of amending the
Constitution if there was another adopted.
Said I, What is that, Mr. Presi dent? Said
he, I have labored to preserve this Union ; I
have toiled four years ; I have been subject
ed to calumny and misrepresentation ; yet
my great desire has been to preserve the
Union of these States iufact under the Con
stitution, as they wer before. But, said I,
Mr. President, what amendment do you re
fer to? lie said : He thought there should
be an amendment added to t he Constitution.
which would compel all the States to send
their Senators and Representatives to the
Congress ot the United States yes, compel
them. The idea was in his mind that it
was a part cf the doctrine of secession to
break up the Government by the States
withdrawing their Senators r.nd Kepresen
taves from Congress ; aud therefore lie de
sired a Constitutional amendment to compel
them to be sent.
How now docs the matter stand? In the
Constitution of the. country, even that por
tion of it which provides for the amend
ment, the organic laws says that no State
without its consent, shall be deprived of its
representation in the Senate, and now what
do we find? We find the position taken,
that States shall not be represented, that
we mav iiu:o.-.e taxes, that we may send out
tax gatherers to every region and portion of
a btate, that the people are to be oppressed
with taxes, but when they come here to par
ticipate inthe legislation rf the country tl ey
are met at the door, and told, no you must
pay your taxes, you must bear the burden
ot the government, but you must not par
ticipate in the legislation of the country,
which is to affect you for all time. Is this
just? (No no.)
The very policy that I am now pursuing
was pursued by me under his administra
tion, I having been appointed by him in a
particular position for that purpose. An
inscrutable Providence saw proper to re
move him from this to, I trut, a better
world, and I came into this place, and there
is not a principle of his in reference to the
restoration of the Union from which I have
departed. The war is not simply upon me,
but it is upon my predecessor also.
I have tried to do mv dutv, and I know
that some are envious and jealous, and
speak of the White House as having attrac
tions lor the. t resident. J-iet me say to you,
the charms of the White Iloiuo have as lit
tle influence on me as upon any individual
in this country, and much less upon nte
than upon those who are talking about it
The difference bctwceji the little that suf
fices for my stomach and back, and more
than enough has tio charms for me. The
proud and conscious satisfaction of haviiu
performed my duty to my country, to my
children and to the inner man, is ull the re
v.aui I a-k. (Great iipp'au'. )
In couclu-i in let me. ak this vast coiv
cour.se here to-day. this vast sea of upturned
faces, to come with me or 1 will go with
yon, and stand around the Constitution of
our country. It is again unfolded. 'J he
people are invited to mid and understand,
to sustain and maintain its provisions.
Let us stand by "the c-on-fiuiti u of our
fathers though the heavens fall ; though fac
tion should rage ; though taun?- and jeers
may come : though abuse and vituperation
may be poured out in the rno.-t violent form.
I mean to be found standing by the Consti
tution as the chief ark of our safety as the
palladium of our civil and our rtligious
liberty.
Y'es, let us cling to it as the mariner
clings to the last plank when the night and
the tempest c!o-e around him. Let us go
away from the past, and, looking to the fu
ture, resolve to endeavor to restore our Gov
ernment to its purity, trusting in Him who
is high, but who controls all here below,
that ere long our Union wiil be restored, and
we shall have peace not only with all the
nations of the earth, but peace find good
will among all parts of the people of the
Unbed States.
When your country is gor.e, and you arc
about that place, look out and you will find
the humble individual who now stands be
fore you, weeping over its final dissolution.
