8. J. OW, EDITOR A.1D PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA, JUNE 20, 1866,
UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
for governor:
Maj. Gen. JOHN W. GEABY, of Comb. Co.
Sensible. The NT. Y. Times szjs: "We
do not think that the restoration of the U
nion depends on the overthrow of the U
nion party and the reinforcement of the
Democratic party. It is possible members
of Congress from the South might be more
peediy admitted, but disloyal members
would come In quite as promptly as those
who are loyal, and would probably be more
warmly webomed." The Democrats who
have been so intent for the past few months
on their mission of mischief, will draw but
little consolation from this kind of talk.
They can see but little hope of disintegra
tion in the Union party. It stands in solid
column, ready for the next encounter. The
party is massed and loyal to the cause, and
will continue to fight democrats and traitors
whenever they take the field against it.
Prom Mexico.
New York, June 15th. The WorlTs
Mexican correspondence says : The first
movement of the French troops will take
place in the month of November next, when
about five thousand will be shipped. All
the contracts have been signed. These
movements are made not only with the con-
eent, but at the express desire of Maxamil-
ian, who has signified to the French Empe
ror that he is now satisfied of the loyal sup
port of the land proprietors and industrious
classes of Mexico, and that the French
troops may be withdrawn at any tini i. the
Boouer the better. The Mexican finances
are in a most deplorable condition.
It is found that under the present policy
of $fi,0JJ salary and niilaa-re some members
of Congress receive $13,0 )), while others
receive enly a few hundred over $6,0'j0.
It is proposed to in?rease the salary to $10,
OOJ and actuil traveling expenses. That
looks like making the business of serving
the people a profession which certain per
sons are to foil w for life an 1 these persons
men of wealth who can afford to spend three
times their salary for two years in election -eerini;!
It won't do. Oh, for a little Ben
Franklin on this subject !
Who Sold Them? It is charged that
the Fenians purchased their arms at the U.
S. Arsenals. This allegation is substantia
ted partially by the fact that the arms lorne
by the Fenians, ad seized by the U. S.
Government, are mostly Springfield rifles,
as bright and new as when they came from
the armorer. The question is, who sold
them? If the U. S.' Agents, is it just to
recapture them without returning the pur
chase iLoney ? This matter will bear inves
tigation. .
A Good Ilrr. The Piiilaljlphia Ledger
perpetrates the following : In 1S61, when
the vote was taken in Memphis upon the
ordinance of secession for Tennessee, but
six votes were cast against it and in favor of
the old Union. Now, however, Union sen
timents have suddenly become so popular
that there are not less than six hundred
honest and truth telling citizens of Memphis,
each of whom claims to have been one of
the original six.
Is Favor of Deserters. A leading
Copperhead of Bedford county has openly
declared that if the election boards of that
county refuse the vote of a deserter en the
ple that the refusal is in conformity with
the act of the Legislature, he will prosecute
uch officers. The man who made this as
sertion is a Mr. Shannon, the appointed
Democratic candidate for Prothonotary in
Bedford county. Will he do it ?
The cholera is slowly working its way
into New York, although it does not appear
to cause extraordinary excitement. Cases,
occurring mostly among the poorer classes,
living in crowded localities teeming with
filth, are reported daily, while at intervals
deaths take place which are clearly the result
of the cholera.
The boiler in the steam saw-mill or Mr.
James Young, near Elensburc, exploded
recently with terrible force. The building
and machinery were destroyed, and the en
gineer, fireman, and two others were injur
ed. One man was blown fifty feet, but was
not hurt. i
A few days since young man", named
Cunningham, fell from,. ' thtower ftf ili'e

tance of&xtjMive'feet, without sustaining
any material injury.
Gen. Lewis Cass died at Detroit on last
8uoday norning, in the 64th year of his
Beconstruction.
The Constitutional Amendment which
has teen under discussion for some time
pa.it iu Congress, has finally been passed by
both Houses. It will now be submitted to
the several State Legislatures for ratifica
tion, and should two-thirds of the States
concur therein it will become a part of the
Constitution. The amendment reads as
follows :
Joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States:

The "Gold" Sham,
The Democrats claim credit for ITeister
Clymer becau.-e he advocated p-iyment of
soldiers' wages in gold. That this was a
mere hypocritical pretence of friend-hip to
the soldier was clearly proved by an article
from a "Pennsylvania Reserve," which we
published a week or two ago." Mr. Clymer
well knew that the measure he advocated
would, if adopted, swamp the. Treasury, and
prevent the suppression of the rebellion.
His argument, comparing the salary of for
eign ministers with the pay of soldiers, had
a direct tendency to create dissatisfaction in
the army. It was a scheme to embarrass
the administration and aid the rebels. That
the speeches of Clymer did give aid and
comfort to the rebels is proved by the, state
ment of Col. Ilarrv White. He says that,
while he was detained from his seat in the
Senate in a rebel prison, a Richmond paper
was tvrousrht into the prison with a column
headed, in staving capitals, '"Rn.D Words
from a Yankee! Speech of Hon. Heis
ter Clymer !" Then followed a long extract
from his speech in the Senate. Col. White
says no words can express his feelings as he
read those blasting, withering words, from
a northern man while he was suffering rebel
torture. Thousands of our soldiers suffered
more than Col. White, lleister Clymer,
by his words and votes, encouraged the reb
els to prolong the war. The people remem
ber him ; and as the frosts of October shriv
el the leaves of summer, so will theindigna
tion of an outraged people crush the politi
cal hopes of this Heister Clymer. Laporte

Hark ! A lady, formerly a resident of
New Orleans, but now en route to Europe,
has recently written an interesting letter to
a female friend in Washington city,detai!ing
an account of an interview she had at Ha
vana with Robert Toombs, i x-United States
Senator from Georgia. Mr. Toombs still
avows his intention of yet calling the roll of.
his former slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill,
and defiantly asserts that the invincible
giant of secession is not dead, but only ink
ing a quiet snooze in order to invigorate
himself for another and, as Mr. T. hopes,
a more successful attempt to overthrow the
Government of the United States.
General Fisk has made an elaborate report
to General Howard upon the condition of
affairs In Tennessee and Kentucky. He
says that during the month of May 77,177
rations were issued to white persons, and
7,400 to freedmen. He ha ordered the dis
tribution of an aggregate oT 30.000 rations
for June, at least two thirds of which will
go to the whites. The people of Kent ucky,
he think, are indisposed to properly care
for the aged and infirm freedmen, and their
support will, for a time, be a burden upou
the Government.

Titusville and the Venango Bank of Frank
Fin deposited in the Auditor General's office
atHarrisburg $1,500,000 in unitea states
securities to protect their circulating notes.
Auditor General Slenker allowed Culver,
Penn & Co., to get possession of these se
curities, take them to New York, and apply
them to the uses of their house. The per
sons implicated in the transaction, except
the late Auditor General, have been arrest
ed for the fraud. The questiou is already
started whether the persons holding circula

for indemnity against the State.
. CLYMEE ANDTHE S0LDIEE3.
He Votes Against Giving Them Increased
Pay.
The opposition of the Copperhead lead
ers to the soldiers during the war is well
known. It amounted to intense hatred.
They could not look upon a blue coat with
out stigmatizing the wearer as one of "Lin
coln's hirelings." They optwsed every
measure for the increase of the Union ar
my, or for the comfort, protection, and in
crease of remuneration of those iu th.1 ser
vice. Hon. Heister Clymer, not mor ly as
an individual, but as a Senator of Pennsyl
vania shared this feeling. Ou the 21 of
April, 1S64, on a vote to secure increased
pay to the soldiers every 'Democrat,' Sen
ator Clymer included, (except Kinscy of
Bucks,) voted n 'i.y. We reprint the reso
lution and the vote as published in the Ilar
risburg Ttlegraph at the time, lue resolu
tion was as follows :
Unsolved, Thut our representatives in
Congress be requested to vote for, and use
their influence for the passage of a law in
creasing the pay of private soldiers and non
commissioned officers in the army of the
United States.
Ou the final passage of the resolution the
yeas and nays were required by Mr. Beards
lee and Mr. CLYMER, aud were aslollows,
viz :
Yeas Messrs. Champneys,Connell, Dun
lap, Fiemming. Graham, Hoge, Household
er, Johnson. Kinsey. Lowry, McCand'.ess,
Nichols, Riugw iy, St.. Clair, Turrelh'Wil
son, W orthington aid Penny, Speaker. IS.
Nays Messrs. Beardsle. liuclier, CL Y
MER, Donoran, Glatz. IIpkiiis, Lamher
1'tn, Ijfitta, Mc Sherry, Mont'omery, Reilly,
Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace. 15.
Every Democrat but Kinscy, of Bucks
couuty, voted against increasing the pay of
the soldiers.
He "Dodja3" the Soliier'3 Constitutional
Amendment.
Among the Amendments to the Consti
tution helore the Senate and the people the
same year was the following- section :
Section IV. Whenever any of the qual
ified electors of the Commonwealth shall be
in any military service urder a requisition
from tie President of the United States. or
by the authority of this Commonwealth,
such electors may exercise the right of suf
frage in all elections of the citizens, under
such regulations as are or shall be prescrib
ed by law, as fully as if they were present
at their usual places of election.
The vote on the final passage of this
amendment stood as follows :
Veas Messrs. Champneys,Connell.Dun
lap, Fiemming, Graham, Hoge, Household
er, Johnson. Kinsey, Lowry. MeCandle,
Nichols, Ridgway, St. ('lair, Turrell, Wil
son, Worthington and Penny 18.
Nays Messrs. Donovan, Latta, Beards
lee. Mc Sherry, Montgomery, Smith aicl
Wallace.
Messrs. Bucher, CLYMER, Glatz, ITop
Icins, Lamberton, Reilly, Stark and Stein,
all Copperheads,7o Iged the question. Dem
ocratic soldiers bear this in mind, and when.
you put in your ballots for Governor, return
the compliment pai l you by the ex-Senator
and now can lidate fir Governor, by dodging
Clymer and voting for Gen. JohnW. Gear'.
He Vot8j Outright Against Their Voting.
The Constitutional amendment, giving,
the soldiers the right to vote h iving passed
the Legislature, in spite of Copperhead
oppo-itiop, they net tried to cheat the
soldiers out of this right by voting against
the law regulating soldier's elections. The
bill for this purpose passed the Senate anal
ly on the 31st of M.u.-h. 1So4 It asoire
tul!y drawn and well guarded against abue
and fraud in every shape. The law was to
take effect from and after the ratification of
the auiciiun.t.nt ly the people. Upon the
final passage of this bill in the Senate the
vote stood as follows :
Yeas for the Bil Mers. Council,
Champneys. Dunlap, Ficiuiiiing. Grahrim,'
Hog llotisch'tlder, Jhn-on, JCin , Me
Cand ess, M-: Sherry, Nichols, Ridgwav,

Lamberton,. Latta, Moutaornery, Reilly.
Smith, Stark. Stein and Wallace. 13.
Messrs. Lowry of Erie, and Donovan of
Philadelphia, did not vote, having paired
off. The vote therefore stood: For the
bill, sixteen Union Senators and two Demo
cratic Senators Kinsey and MeSherry ;
against the bill, thirteen Democratic Sena
tors, including Senator CLYMER of Berks.
This vote shows, conclusively, who were the
friends of the soldier and who were not.
The same course was pursued by the Demo
cratic members of the Senate and House at
every step of the legislation necessary to
enable our absent soldiers to participate in
the election.

It will be observed that all the Vards of
Reading, save one, gave handsome majori
ties in favor of the soldiers, and that all the
country districts save eight, gave majorities
against the soldiers. The heaviest so-called
Democratic Districts in Berks cave the
heaviest majorities against the soldiers ! We
ask our gallant veterans to scan this vote
closely, and when they co ne to vote, next
October, let them pay back ex-Senator Cly
mer and his friends in their own coin.
The Unfairness of our Opponents,
The copperhead orcans have commenced
early to pervert the objects of the amend
ment lately passed by Congress. In this
their action accords with that which made
them infamous and repugnant, in public es
timation at the precipitation of the rebellion.
When the slave masters revolted these same
political demagogues asserted that theolpot
of the South was only and merely to riuht
their wrongs. They did.not intend to im
pair the system of free government. They
had no objects antagonistic to free institu
tions. It was not tVeir purpose to abridge the
risjhts of men. Rut the very moment the
reoellion looked like a success the diguiso
was cat off and the Southern leaders de
clared their purpose to be the establishment
of a government whose corner stone should
be slavery. They proclaimed the war to Vie
for the destruction of free government, for
the final and complete overthrow of the A
merican Union. Now. when the object is
to punish these men when Congress pro
poses to hold those accountable who engag
ed in this horrid work, and to secure guar
ran tees for the Republic in the future, the
politicians in the North who defended trea
son as merely an efToit of a people to rierht
their wrongs,- denounce the action of Con
gress as a wrong on the white man, as a
mere enterprise to elevate the negro to a
level with the white man. Every man who
has real the constitutional amendment
knows that such is purely not the fact.
There is no desirn in that amendment to
establish an equ iliry of races .which shall
affect in the least the social relations of the
white man. Rut there are thousands of
men controlled by the copperhead leaders
whe will not read that amendment, and it
is such as these who are to be controlled by
appeals to their preju'lices cn this sulject.
The Philadelphia Age has taken the initia
tive in this same of deception. Tt is only
necessary, however, to refer to the record
for facts sufficiently explicit to explode all
these attempts to mislead the masses in es
timating the true objects of the Constitu
tional Amendment. What is sought first
of all. is to make treason odious and trait
ors infamous. This is the cardinal princi
ple involved in the amendment. When it
does this it sec ires the rights of a1! men,
as treason affects every man's rights. It
puts a bar on anv future attempt to pay. the
d.nits of the reWllion. It opens the courts
of justice to all men. It makes all men re
sponsible t the Government which protects
them. It leaves no room for class legisla
tion. It fixes the equality of loyalty, which
moans that a loyal m;in. whatever the color
of his skin, who faithfully supports the Gov
ernment, who is willing to die to enforce
its authority, is tbe superior of a traitor, be
he white or black Ttlegraph.
Dr. T. W. Roil, an eminent phisician of
Louisville, makes these observations in re
gard to cholera : ''The cause of this disease
acts alone at nitrht and upon sleeping per
sons. No amount of exposure in the worst
localities of the distemper, imperils the
wakeful, moving, individual. I have seen
hundreds of instances of this fact without
one aberration from the statement of the
proposition. 1 hav myself .spent many a
nisrht in these localities during the ravages
of the epidemic, and never felt that I was
in any peril while I kept awake, and the
best security for that is to keep in raotio"n."
Gold has been discovered at Canisteer.in
the township of Vernon, Sussex county
and at Wynockie, in Passaic county. New
Jersey. A ton ot -ore taken from the mine
of Mr. S. D. Brown, in Canisteer, alont
five feet belov the surface, and apparently
of the average quality, has been worked in
New York, and the yield wa-8in gold
and $18,91 in silver, or $104.91 in all.
Tbe TJegTslatiire'bf Tennessee will be con
vened in special session, and will ratify the
Constitutional Amendment. That done, j
loyal members from that State will be ad- j
mitted to seat in Congresa.
