CLEARFIELD, PA.," MARCH 21, 1S66.
UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
MaJ.Qea. JOHS W. GEARY, of dumb. Co.
: Traa to Their Iartiaots. ' ; ' -'The
Copperhead leaders, ever ready to
revile and abuse the men -who fought the
battles for the Union, have already opened
their batteries of defamation and vile slan
der upon the gallant Geary, as is instanced
by the following extract from the Pittsburg
s. .'-,, i - ' .
'The candidate nominated by the Conven
tion, Gen. Geary, is like its proceedings a
huge cheat ; a ponderous humbug, whose
military achievements consisted in newspa
per puffs, furnished by one of his staff at his
own suggestion. A political charlatan, he is
willing to serve any party, and the expedi
ency Abolitionists of our State, have shown
their shameless inconsistency by placing
bim in nomination for the first office in the
gift of our people. Instead of profiting by
experience, and steering clear of meir ot
doubtful politicals tanding, they rush after
old castaway Democrats, and confer on them
their highest honors. This proceeding, as (
in the nomination of Andrew Johnson, is for
the purpose ot again cheating the people.
But the masses have- their eyes open, and
will not be again deceived."
Sueh is the language of the leading Cop
perhead paper ia western Pennsylvania, and
the cry is being , rehashed by those of less
noto ; among them the Clearfield Republi
can, which designates Gen. Geary "POLIT
ICAL RENEGAI AND MILITARY FAILURE."
Nothing eeetns to enrage the leaders of
that party to so great a degree, as the ap
pearance before the people, for a station of
publio trust, of one of the heroes who have
been most conspicuous in whipping the reb
els into submission "to the Constitution
and the Union." It is but the natural tc
. suit of their course throughout the four
years' ot war with treason. During that
ever memorable period they embraced every
opportunity to defame and disparage the
heroic deeds and personal valor of the brave
men "who led our gallant armies on to victo
ry. But, the war ended, the patriotic mas
eesof the country had anticipated a different
course on their part ; . but in this they were
mistaken. The leaders ttill adhere to their
old prejudices against the soldiers, and con
tinue to denounce them on all occasions.
But their attempts to defame the characters
of the heroic defenders of the Union now,
will prove as harmless as did their sympa
thies with the rebels during the war. Their
danders will only work to their own discom
fiture and shame. Gen. Geary's record will
bear the closest scrutiny, and his .friends
can go to the people on that record with the'
full confidenceof l is triumphant election in
uetoDer next. ?
' ' ' Blowing Hot and Gold.

i uat tno nation owes to the brave men
bt our army and navy a debt of lasting grati
tude tor their heroic services in defence of
the Constitution and the Union." Demo
cratic riot form of March 5, 1806.
"Gen. Johh V. Geary. This political
renegade and military failure, was nomina
ted, at llirri.sburg, on th 7th instant,
etc. Clearfield Republican of March 14,
I SCO. , .
The abo re is, truly, a fair specimen of the
old saSv, of "blowing hot and cold" at the
eanio time. The first extract designates our
soldiers as "brave men,' and the second
denounces leader of those men as a "milita
ry failure. ' ' Surely, such a brazen-faced in
suit to our brave and gallant soldiers, who
fought, Id and died "in defence of the
Constitution and the Union" will meet with
a Just condemnation at the hands of the sur
vives at the coming fall election.
More Monopojues. By the Legislative
proceedings we see that efforts are making
in the Legislature to pass sever1 al other.
Railroad monopoly bills. The first grants
unlimited privileges, in constructing branch
ches, to the Pittsburg & Connelsville and
Southern Pennsylvania Company ; and the
second to the Phil a and Erie the latter
being the old bill with the fourth section
etricken out. Gov. Curtin has interposed
a veto in one case already; and, it is to be
hoped, he will also veto the above bills
should they be passed, as in him the people
have their only hope of protection against mo
nopolies and injurious legislation. -
Vetoed. Gov. Curtin has vetoed the
Phil'a and Erie Railroad bill, passed week
before last, by which more than one-third
of the State was surrendered to the control
of that corporation. Gov. C. will receive
the thanks of every man in the State, who
favors, a liberal, system of public .improve
ments, for his prompt action in this case.
IIiESTER Clymer in.the" Senate, and his
own Berks county at the polls, voted to de
prive the soldier of the right to vote. !3ow,
then, can any soldier vote for him? !
Sow, And Thea. -
: .The Democracy at their recent State Con
vention, passed the following resolution : V
" Sixth,' That .the bold enunciation of the
principles of the Constitution and the policy
of restoration contained in the recent annual
and f reedinen's Bureau veto messages of-
1 resident Johnson entitles him to the con
fidence and support of all who respect the
Constitution andjove their country.
A careful perusal of this resolution shows
that, as a party, they "do not pledge them
selves to support President Johnson, but
use ambiguous phraseology which will per-'
mit them to go either for or against him, as
the!rinterests may seem to demand." This the
leaders are fully, capable of doing. Their
past conduct proves this conclusively. For
example; on the 6th of. March, 1S63, Hon.
Heister Clymer, the present Democratic
candidate for Governor, then a State Sena
tor, on the question of allowing the use of
the Senate Chamber to this same Andrew
Johnson to speak in behalf of the Union,
said: ' ; t" . . ; . "
"I know, sir, that Andrew Johnson has
gone as far as the farthest, and Li ready to
go still further, to destroy, to uproot, to up
turn every principle upon which this great
and good Government of ours was founded.
I know that he has bent with suppliant
knee before the throne of power I know
that, for pelf or some other consideration,
he has succumbed to every measure present
ed to him for approval or disapproval ; and
I know that in speeches delivered in the
capitals of ether States he has enunciated
doctrines which, if adopted by the people of
the great North, would be subversive of in
dividual freedom and personal right, Sir,
by no vote of mine can any person holding
such views address the peopieof Pennsylva
nia in this chamber. ever, sir, never, sq
long as I have a right to forbid him.;'':
On the same occasion Senator Wallace,
Chairman of the Democratic State Commit
tee, used the following language ;
"And men who,' like Andrew Johnson,
are willing to trample the Constitution, un
der foot, are in transition ; they will in the
early future be buried in da nkob vision. ... I
am opposed to the reception of Gov. John
son for no persona reason, but, sir, I am
unwilling to recognize his present official
position. He is not Governor of Tennessee
in any view of the law. ... I am opposed
to the resolution because I am unwilling to
countenance any of those men who have ren
dered aid and comfort toward this Adminis-tration-mark
me toward sustaining this
Administration in its unconstitutional, un
warranted and unnecessary measures. An
drew Johnson is one of those who has gone
the farthest, who h.a been the most ultra of
the vltra in sustaining the violent measures
of the Administration at Washington."
The fact is, Presideut Johnson, though
differing with them in soma new issues
which the close of the rebellion has raised,
can only expect to be faithfully upheld by
those who elected him, and, judging by
the current of evnts of the past ten days,
neither he nor anybody else anticipates that
he will derive any support from such a
doubtful source as the leaders of the Demo
cratic party.
A "Military .Failure."
From reports filed in vbe office of the Sec
retary of War, at Washington city, it ap
pears that during tis term of service Gen.
Geary was engaged in over fifty ho(ly con
tested battles and important skirmishes, be
sides many others of lesser note! Among
these engagements may be especially named
the following :
"Bollver Heights," "Cedar Mountain,"
"Chancehorsvillo" (3 days), "Gettysburg"
(3 days), which resulted in driving the reb
els iiom Pennsylvania, "Wauhatchie, "
"Lookout Mountain," "Mission Ridge,"
"Ringgold," "Triano," "Mill Creek Gap,"
"Snake Creek Gap," "Resaca" (2 dava),
"New Hope Church" (7 days), "Muddy
Crock," "Nose's Creek, "Kalb's Farm,"
"Kenesaw," "Pine Hill," "Marietta"
"Poach Tree Creek," "Atlanta" sieg and
capture, (20 days), "Savannah" '(10 dayf),
which was captured by his division ten
hours before any other troops rcachedSihat
city, so was also "Fort Jackson" the two
latter surrendering to Gen. Geary in person
with which he captured 350 prisoners,
114 pieces of artillery t 38,500 bales of cot
ton, and 5 ocean steamers besides ati im
mense amount -of ammunition aqd other
stores. .
Such is the record of Gen. Geary, whom
the Clearfield Republican pronounces a
military failure. Just the kind of
"failure" that whipped the .rebels, and
brought their Northern allies to grief ; and
a similar "failure," on the second Tuesday
of October, 1860, will place Gen. .Geary in
the Gubernatorial chair.
The First Gun. New Hampshire elect
ed State officers on Tuesday, March 13th
choosing a Republican Governor by about
5,000 majority, all five Republican Counsel
ors, nine Republican to three Democratic
Senators, and about 100 Republican majori
ty in the House. .This places the Granite
State foremost in the Union ranks, and is a
sure precurser of the elections throughout
the North, the coming fall. -
So Then I It said that little less than a
year agof the Cops made evertures to Gen.
Geary to become their candidate for Gover
nor this fall, and that he declined the. offer
on the ground that (like Gen. Meade) "A
didn't trjfiin with thatcrotod." Poor Cops!
they are really in a bad fix as retards , sol
diers for canditates. Wonder if "brother"
Jeff wouldn't train with them, as he was a
soldier once? in hopps. ' . '
The Clearfield Republican denounces
Gen. Geary as a ' 'political renegade. ' ' How
about Heister Clymer, your candidate for
Governor, who deserted the Whig party a
few years since ? Is he a "political rene
gade, " top ? Let your reader know, George.
. A General Eailroad Law.
- The following article from -the Pittsburg
Commercial, expresses the almost unani
mous opinion of the people in this section
of the State of Pennsylvania, and hence we
transfer "it to our columns entire, with "the
hope that our readers will give .it a careful
perusal : : - ;- - -v;
What Pennsylvania wants is a general
railroad law. . Aside from the ordinary rea
eonsVhy such a law should be enacted, with
as little delay as possible, there are specific
ones quite as urgent. A law that will per
mit roads to be built wherever and whenev
er persons having the means, will, under
certain restrictions and limitations protect
ing the rights of the State and individuals,
build them, is so manifestly just and reason
able, that a reason - which will hold water
has not been found' to urge agair-st.it It
is manifestly the interest and purpose of
monopolies, intending to run the State as
well as their roads both in conjunction
to prevent such a law, but,1, to our mind'
that is the very best reason in the world
why there should be such a law enacted.
It is no experiment. In other States a
general railroad law has worked well for
years, and been found to be just what was
wanted. An enormous amount of corrupt
legislation has been prevented by it, and
such, unquestionably, would be the effect in
our State. Recent legislation legislation
pending legislation known to be intended
proves this to our shame. As a measure
of public Klicy, a' general railroad law
would be wise, and for this reason it is de
manded. As a measure of public Uiore
especially legislative moralty, it would be
do less salutary, and on this ground it is
greatly to be desired. There is no good
reason to be urgod. against such ' a measure.
Why then, does , not the Legislature pass
1t? A bill was introduced early in the ses
sion. Where is it?. If it cannot pass let
us know at least who says so.' Let Repre
sentatives be brought to the mark. Let us
have the record.
It may possibly give the people gome
idea what are the influences which control
Uegislation. It is a question purely between
the people and the . monopolies. Let us
know who are strongest. We have no idea
that the killing of the measure for this ses
sion would kill i for all time. Quue the
contrary. It would be the starting point
tor luture action. It would be the tangi
ble joining of the issue that would have to
be tried out. Certain railroads have the
reputation of controlling legislation to suit
themselves. They t are understood to be
opposed to the law. Common fame may
be unjust. However this may be, it ueeds
no extraordinary penetration to discover
that they cannot do a wiser thing for them
selves or a more beneficial thing for the
State, than to go in for a general law. Let
them have the credit. If they do not.
there will be a very general disposition to
hold them responsible for the defeat, if de-
leated it is.
What the President said to Sherman.
The Washington correspondent of the
iNew lork Tribune tnves the followinar ver
sion of an interview of an hour between the
1 resident and Senator Slferman :
"Senator Sherman is reported to have
had an interview of more than an hour's
duration to-day, with the President, and
found him in a far more practicable mood
than nitherto. 1 he senator assured him
there was no justifiable cause for an aban
donment of the principles upon which the
Republican party carried the Presid ential
election. Nor could he afford to cut loose
from the men who were first and foremost
in securing the success of that party. The
conversation is said to have been quite un
reserved and comprehensive, and in reply
i lie x rusiuent insisted tnac ne nau no wish
or purpose to invoke any issue or estrange
ment among his Republican friends and
supporters. He admitted that he owed his
present elevation to the men of that party,
and that whue in some matters he might
differ in opinion with them, he did not pur
pose to set up nis individual opinions
against their combined wisdom or desires.
In regard to the Copperhead fawning and
flatteries which had so annoyed his Repub
lican friends, he said he had been in politi
cal life too long to be deceived by them.
The interview, as reported, together with
expressions known to have emanated from
one of his firmest adherents in the Cabinet,
inspired a more hopeful feeling."
The Two Candidates.
Had the power been conferred on the
most expert man in the State, to arrange
the Gubernatorial canvass so as to present
distinctly the issue of approval or disappro
val of the cause for which our armies fought
in the war of the Rebellion, he could not
have done it better than the two Conven
tions, acting for the opposing parties, have
done it. The Democratic Convention met
first and nominated Clymer. The Union
Convention, two days after, nominated Gea
ry. During the war Clymer in every way
but by enlisting in the rebel army, was on
the rebel oide. Geary did everything for
the loyal cause that a man could do, but die
for it, and that he did not, was no fault of
his own, for many a time, at the head of his
column, he courted death.
Taxation wrrnocT Representation.
The constant cry of the disloyal men of the
South is that ."taxation without representa
tion" is- unconstitutional. Yet in all the
southern States laws have been framed im
posing taxes upon the blacks equally with
the whites. If it is right to tax the blacks
and yet disfranchise them, it cannot be
wrong to treat the whites in the same way.
If there is any injustice in taxation without
representation why are they the firsts to
practice it. . '
The Chambersburg " Repositorg says that
the Democratic nomination for Governor
was offered to Gen. Hancock as well s to
Gen. Meade, and was refused by him as
firmly as by the commander of the army of
the Potomac. 5 .
The Clearfield Republican ridicules the
resolutionsof the Union State Convention
which nominated Gen. Geary ; and so does
the Richmond Examiner. Well, "birds of
a feather flock together." - .
-During the year ending June 30th, 1865.
Pennsylvania paid nearly twenty-eight mil
lions of dollars of taxes upon incomes, manu
factures, etc., into the national treasury.
; The Civil Eights Bill. -
The bill to protect all persons in their civ
il rights and to furnish the means for. their
vindication, has passed both houses of Con
press the Senate on March 15th and only
requires the signature of the President to
become a law. 1 be first section is as follows :

person for any cause whatever, by any offi
cer, civil or. military, or other person, for

and Agents of "the Freedmen's Bureau are
empowered to prosecute cases under this
bill. Severe penalties are' provided for all
persons who may in any way hinder the op
erations of it
.
Treasury Imbroglio.
Washington, March 15th. The letter
of Comptroller Clark, criticising Secretary
McCulloch's exhibit of the public debt, ancl
declaring that it fell many millions below the
real amount, creates considerable feeling at
the Treasury and in Congress. M m Clark
was on the floor of the house to-day visiting
members, and was charged by Mr. Wcnt
worth with trying to influence the House to
defeat the loan bill, and to thwart Secretary
McCulloch's policy. ' So great is the interest
felt in this matter that the Ways and Means
Committee to-day went to the Department
and made inquiry. Mr. Hooper, of the
committee, on his return from the Treasury,
made a statement to the House. He said
that in reference to the statement made by
the Secretary of the Treasury on March 1st,
he would say that it appeared that there was
in the Treasury at that time $55,000,000 in
coin, and $60,000,000 in currency, making
atotal of $115,000,000. Now, the letter of the
Comptroller referred to, states that the
statement of the Secretary of the Treasury
is inexcusably erroneous, and states amongst
other items that the Secretary has omitted
to give the amount of the deposits in" the
national banks, belonging to the 'overn
ment, which amount, the Comptroller says,
is $28,000,000. Having seen this letter the
Committee of Ways and Mean had appoint
ed a Sub-Committee to visit the Treasury
Department to investigate the alleged dis
crepancy and to see whether it had any ac
tual existence. We learned, said Mr.
Hooper, that the Secretary's statement of
the public debt was correct. The amount
of money in the National banks. $28,000,
000, was included in the $115,000,000 re
ported to be in the Treasury by the Secreta
ry on the first of March. - This letter of the
Comptroller made it appear that there were
$190,000,000 in the Treasury, and he goes
on to-show that some retired notes and 7-30
bonds ought to have been included in the
Secretary's exhibit. Then the Comptroller
adds $115,"000,000 to that statement as the
difference between gold and currency, should
the Seoretary sell the $55,000,000 of gold at
the present premium, but as the Secretary
had not sold the gold, the premium should
not be added in, for the $15,000,000 of cur
rency were not in the Treasury The state
ment of the public debt made by the Secre
tary of the Treasury was, he repeated, en
tirely correct. He had included the $2S.-
000,000 now in the National Banks, and he
had not sold the gold nowfn the Treasury.
The result of the investigation of the Sub
Committee of Ways and Means was that
there were $115,000,000 in the Treasury.
