II
render. " Objections hare been raised to
that theory also. Othera b till take the po
ilioa that inasmuch as new constitutions
mad new gOTernments have been established
in these States originating in an irregular
or revolutionary manner, that it is the duty
cf Congress, under the fourth article ana
fourth section ot the Constitution, to see
that they are republican in form, and in
the discharge 61 that duty, require such
conditions or guarantees a? the safety of the
Union, in their judgment, demands. This,
too, is objected to.
An honorable-gentleman from Pennsylva
nia at the other end of the Capitol, with
some self-conceit, as it seems : to me, sets
down all these reconstruction suggestions or
theories as mere whimsies. He has a plan
of his own to restore the Union and get rid
of traitors. It is simple in theory and
cheap in execution, He will execute it bim
aelt with only the aid of a constable. When
ever a rebl shows his bead, be and his
constable will pounce upon him like a Bu
chanan marshal on a flying negro. He will
put him where no rebel ever went before
with his consent in the old Capitol Prison.
If the honorable gentleman really thinks
that his plan is practicable, why does he
not set about its execution ? His intended
victims swarm through the Capitol and
the White House, and two or three dozen
of them are askine admission to Congress.
There are objections to this theory. Indeed
it has been tried. It was Buchanan's plan
tor suppressing the rebellion but it lailea.
Now. sir. the theory of the Opposition,
based upon the second and third sections of j
the first article of the Constitution, under
which members from the rebel States are to
be admitted to these Halls without our
leave, is that the right of a State to repre
sentation cannot be forfeited or lost so long
as these two sections remain unaltered. Is
there no objection to this theory ? Why, it
concedes the right of representation during
the whole war. Their members could have
entered this Capitol at any time and voted
as the interest of the Confederacy required.
If the war had lasted fifty years instead of
four the right would have run through all
that time. Nor would it have ceased if our
armies had been overpowered and the Con
federacy left' unmolested. After one hun
dred years of separation, tbey might still
vote for President and send members to
Congress. Unless you admit tbe doctrine
of forfeiture, you cannot avoid this conclu
sion. Aside from this doctrine, nothing
but an amendment of the Constitution
could deprive them of this right. But the
Constitution could not be amended, because
these eleven States are more than one fourth
of the whole, and the assent of some of
them would be necessary for any amend
ment; and to deprive them of Senators the
assent of every one would be necessary.
The advocates of this theory, to avoid
this result, concede that the right of repre-.
entation would be forfeited by success.
But how ? The Constitution is not changed
by the result of a battle. There it is, just
as it was before. If they lost nothing by
defeat would they by success? They lost
oothing by secession and unsuccessful war,
you say, because these were unconstitution
al. Can they lose anything, then, by victo
ry? Would not that be unconstitutional al
io? "But we would acquiesce." Well,
suppose we should ; would not acquiescence
be unconstitutional and void? Where in
the Constitution are we authorized to ac
quiesce in a division of the llepublic? If
their ordinance of secession was void would
not our consent to it be equally void? If
the ordinance was void can it bo rendered
more so by defeat or less so by victory ?
Some of the advocates of this theory, to
avoid this reasoning, concede that the right
of representation is forfeited or suspended
during "contumacy. " This cruel word to
characterize t he great rebellion is not original
with me. It is the word maliciously chosen
by our conservative friends who are deter
mined to make treason odious. I wish the
printer to enclose it with inverted commas,
that such severity of language may not be
ascribed to me. But who is to decide when
the suspension begins and wheuitends?
The State ? If so, that is no suspension at
U. A right that can be taken up and laid
down at pleasure cannot be said to be sus
pended. Is Congress tbe judge? Theu I
submit that by secession from tho United
states, by the lormation of a new Confede
racy, by four years of terrible war and five
ot scorniul refusal, these States would be
vuiuc a iittie cuu minacious, ana uongress
would be justified in suspending their rights
until tne legislation necessary to make rep
resentation fair and equal could be agreed
upon ana passea. Ana mat is all that any
body here proposes to do.
This appeal to the Constitution for au
thority to hand the Government over to the
unrepentant plotters of its destruction, is
out a continuation or the policy pursued by
ine imposition ior tne last nve years. Du
ring that period they have raised a cry about
ine constitution many times, but always in
opposition to good measures or in advocacy
oi uaa ones, w nen it was first proposed
to coerce the rebellion and save the Union,
and at every following step toward apparent
success, th-y cried, '"unconstitutional." It
was unconstitutional to raise an army or
march it iqto the sacred soil of the South.
It was unconstitutional to issue bills of cred
it to meet the expenses. It was unconsti
tutional to close a rebel port or arrest a reb
el spy, to proclaim martial law in a rebel
country, or to appoint s provisional govern
or for conquered Louisiana or abandoned
Tennessee. Look back through the.debates
of the Opposition ; there is nothing consti
tutional but slavery and rebellion, nothing
so unconstitutional as coercion ana emanci-
gation. J udging from these debates, the
onstitution was especially framed to re
press liberty, punish -fidelity to the Union,
shield oppression, and honor treachery and
great crime. I hese war measures are all
constitutional now. Great light is thrown
upoa the Constitution . by the surrender of
.Lee.. The gleam ot successful bayonets il
luminates the dark understanding of pro
alavery quibblers. But alas I the light of
success shines only on the past. All the
future is still unconstitutional. The "un
constitutional, disunion, abolition war'' is
rendered constitutional by the victory of our
soldiers, but the effort to secure to tie coun
try the fruits of that victory by appropriate
e-iotAuuu uucoostuutionai as ever:
Han I close my defense f th i?
can policy of restoration. Shall that Dolicr
be adopted? iSot by this Congress.it is
aid, because enough conservative Republi
cans will unite with the Opposition to de
feat it. Then, by falsely charging upon the
Union party non-action and lack of purpose,
it is hopd that a Confreas can be ctaj
next fall which will repeal the test oath and
admit the rebel States without guarrantees
or conditions of any kind and with a repre
sentation always excessive and now enlarged
by emancipation. Without the enlarge
ment (which will not be attained until after
the next census) the ' eleven confederate
States will have eighty votes in the Elector-
ai college, controlled entirely Dy tne late in
surgents, namely:
Alabama 8
Georgia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Texas
Florida
Mississippi -7
Arkansas 5
Virginia 10
Tennessee 10
Louisiana 7
Thev will need seventy-seven more to
elect a President. Kentucky, Missouri,
Maryland, and Delaware, States with strong
confederate proclivities, will, it is claimed,
furnish thirty-one, while the other forty-six
can be made up by the Democrats of New
Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. The
classification of votes by which the Presi
dent would thus be elected, would stand
confederates SO, semi-confederates 31, Demo
cratic 46. This Presidential scheme will
undoubtedly fail, and yet it is the only one
that has the slightest chance of success. If
the Union party can be beaten at all, it must
be bv this or some similar combination.
Surmose it successful, then, what would be
the character of the new Administration ?
Four members of the Cabinet would belong
to the eiffhtv confederate votes and the
other three to the seventy-seven from the
northern and border btates. All presiden
tial appointments at home and abroad must
be made on the same line of division.
It. as is allecred. this combination could
also carrv a maioritv of Congress, the con
federates would have a majority of that ma
jority, and in caucus (giving their allies tne
Clerk) would demand the speaker ana a
maioritv of all committees, such as the
Ways and Means, Claims, and Pensions, to
which their peculiar interests might be re
fered. Pensions must then be surrendered
or divided with confederate claimants; ser
vice in the Union Armv would be an im
pediment to political success, and the Treas
ury, supplied by the industry and economy
of the North, would be steadily absorbed in
confederate damages. 1 hen your creditors
mierht come with their worthless bonds and
learn exactly howmuch it cost them to reclaim
their fugitive masters. Then the pension
less widows and orphans ot our valiant dead
might bemoan in poverty and neglect the
ingratitude of a llepublic saved by a hus
baud s and father s blood. And then our
surviving soldiers must conceal their honor
able scars to save a humble position in the
(apital they helped to preserve for the
enemy. Then, sir, we will all see, feel, and
realize what the Opposition, in diffeient
phraseology, constantly assert, that the ob
ject of the war was to force the rebels to be
come our rulers.
Correspondence of the Journal.
Mr. Editor : I see by the last number
ot the Clearfield Republican, that the astute
editor ot that rebel sheet, has seen proper
to assail the Assessor ot Internal ltevenue
by charging him with a violation of the law
and a disregard of his oath, by publishing
the uotice tor holding the appeal in this
county, in the Journal.
Now, the editor is either ignorant of the
law in regard to publishing that notice, or
he intended wilfully to misrepresent the
matter for the purpose of prejudicing a por
tion ot his readers against a conipetent.uoa
est and faithful oilloer. The law dvs not,
as he asserts, require the notice to be pub
lished in the paper having the largest cir
culation ; nor does his oath of office require
anything of the kind. The law says: "The
assessor shall give ten day's notice to the
tax-payers of the district, that he will hold
an appeal," or a certain day at a certain
place, "by publishing the same in one news
paper it any there be in the district, and
by notifications to be posted up in at least
tour public places in each assessment dis
trict.
Again, the editor of the Republican (im
pliedly) boasts of his paper having the lar
gest circulation in the county, which may
be true as bis party is larcely in the major
ity therein ; but I would asfc him, which
party in the county pays tbe most taxes in
to the Treasury of the United States from
this source ? By reference to the published
Income returns as made to the Assistant
Assessor for the year 1864, he will find that
the Union party in this county returned
about one hundred and thirty-five thousand
dollars ($13d,000) ot income tor that year,
while his party tnends returned about sev
enty -eight thousand dollars (78,000) a lit
tle over half as much - as the former. This
being the fact, which paper has the ad van
tage of notifying tlie tax-payers of the hold
ing ot an appeal I especially, when it is re
membered that the editor of the Republican,
, -.1 . . , ,
acknowledges in tne same issue that there
are 1,200 of his party (out of 2,000) in the
county, who do not take Ma paper " a bad
admission for an editor who boasts of his
superior facilities of imparting information
to 'a large majority of the people of this
county. Uut enough. .More Anon.

CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 13, 1S66,
UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
for governor :
Maj. Gen. JOHN "W. GEASY, of Cumb. Co.
After a protracted debate, the U. S.
Senate has passed tho Reconstruction a
mendment nearly as it was agreed on in the
Republican caucus, all the changes subse
quently made being changes of form. As
it now goes taok to the House, it is in much
better shape than when it left that body.
The declaration of citizenship in the first
section is more explicit, and the original
third section has been struck out. Itisun
derstood that the House will readily accede
to the amendments of the Senate, in which
case the proposition comes at once before
the Legislatures of tbe States.
The report of the majority of the Recon
struction Committee, laid before Congress
on Friday, declares that the lately rebellious
States can only be restored to their political
rights by the consent of Congress ; that the
Governors appointed by the President had
no power to organize civil courts, and that
no constitution has been legally adopted in
any of the States except Tennessee. The
report further represents that Tennessee is
the only one of the States at all qualified
for representation in Congress.
The Fenian excitement has somewhat sub
sided. The U. States authorities have
arrested Roberts and Sweeny for a violation
of our neutrality laws. Pigeon Hill, C. E.,
has been captured by a Fenian force under
Col. Scanlan, who deleatad a British force
and took three flags. It is also said that
the Fenian troops are about being ordered
home, as many of them are without arms
and ammunition, which would indicate that
the leaders bad no hope of success in their
enterprise. -
The Soldiers of Montour County, at a
convention held in Danville onthe2Sthult,
passed the following resolution unanimously-
Resolved, That the election ot Maj. Gen.
John W. Geary, as the Union candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, meets our most
cordial approval. His ability, patriotism
and personal integrity, commend him to all
who honor sound principles and heroism,
in battling against armed treason, for the
life of the nation and the perpetuity of the
Union. We pledge to him our hearty sup
port. The Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel views with
considerable favor the pending plan of re
construction. It says ; "It is our deliberate
opinion that the above terms are the very
best the Southern States can obtain. If
these terms should be rejected, heavier and
more stringent measures will be required.
Delay in this matter will be dangerous."
So small was the concern of the people of
Richmond for Jeff. Davis that when his
case was recc ntly called only nineteen persons
were in the Court-room. Mr. W. B. Reed
frankly confessed his "personal sympathy"
for the "Stern Statesman. But his confes
sion was needless.
Item. The editor of the Clearfield Re
publican seems to be possessed of an exces
sive propensity for falsifying, as is instanced
by the vile slang' and base slanders which
he periodically repeats against us. Even a
tolerable decent regard for truth and honor
ought to deter a man from wilfully misrep
resenting facts. '
Governor Curtin has signed tbe bill dis
franchising deserters, passed by the last
Penn'a Legislature the Supreme Court
having adjourned without deciding upon
the Constitutionality of the act of Congress.
Scofield's Speech. We publish, this
week, the speech of Hon. G. W. Scofield,
to the exclusion of our general variety of
news. The speech will bo read with much
interest. '" ' ' ''
The Soldier's Convention was held in
Pittsburgh, as per announcement, on J une
5th. The proceedings were harmonious.
We will publish the resolutions next week.
The look is that England will soon show
by multiplied executions for treason in Can
ada bow hypocritical she has been in urging
us not to punish the leaders in rebellion here.
Obituary notices accompanied the several
deaths announced this week, but we were
compelled to omit them on account of the
crowded state of our columns.
