mast bi apparent to every Republican who
has tha 5 of Gnara! Gary at heart,
and we trust our frien Is in every township
will go t) work with as litth delay as possi

more manifest by the activity of the Demo

forces in every "nook, anl corn jr" of the
State. Ia our own county th.-y have been
busy f jrseveral m Miths in arranging prelim
inaries for a simultaneous f jrmation of Dem

it came by proper means, will best show the
mode of procedure by which this organiza

To : Dmr Sir: The Democratic
Slate Central Committee, having alopted a
uniform plan of orgitiizin tlu party, in
every Bjroujfli aul IV.vuship, in the State ;
it becoiuis our duly as members and oihoers
of the County Committee, to proceed at
once to organize our county, fully, and as
speedily as possible. Having an abiding
confidence in your integrity as a citizen ot
this Republic, and your reliability as a Dem

subject, with the hope of receiving your ap
probation, energy and influence ; to accom
plish this work.
You will, therefore, please, without con

transmit us the names au l Post Oiiice ad

The plau is not a bad one, and we ar not
are but that our Republican friends can
take some hints from it, which may be use
ful in getting up Geary Clubs. 13 this as
it may, our object in publishing the circular
is to show our friends that the tlymentes
are "busv as nailers," and that it behooves
us to be up and doing also.
N. Ii.If the managers of the Clymer
Democracy do nt wish us to have the ben
eSt of their little private party arrange
ments, we would kind'y suggest that they
revise their list of confidential friends be
fore sending out any more circulars of a
character similar to the above.
That same Old Scare-crow.
We observe that the Copperheads have
brought out their oi l scare-crow and stand
' ing bu?-bear in good season this year.
They evidently think the fojls are not al
dead yet- Witness the following from 1
published call for a Clymer mass meeting o
"allwho are opposed to committing the desti
nies of thirty millions of white men to eight
hundred thousand necro voters." Here is a
chance for a little figuring. Eight huudred
thousand subtracted from thirty millions
leaves a majority of only tirentg-nin millions
two hundred thousand! Yet, we think, with
that majority to fall back upon in case of
emergency, the white race ina feel tolera
ble easy over its "destinies," for a short
time at least. Rut, picture it ! Thiuk of it !
Thirty millions of white men in a population
of thirty millions ! Oh! horrible! au'tit?
Not a handsome woman, nor a beautiful girl
in all this great and glorious Union. Oh !
6bades of Jackson! whither are we tend
ing 1 A-HEM ! the Clymerites will have to
try some other dodge. This one is played
out School-houses have become too plenty
in Pennsylvania.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania at Wilkesbarre in the case of
the Pennsylvania Railroad vs. the Catawis
ea, Great Western and Atlantic, and Read
ing Railroads, entirely reverses that of Jus
tice Read, delivered in Philadelphia in De
cember last. The practical effect of this set
ting aside of the previous judgment will be
to allow the defendant companies to connect,
mnd thus give two through routes to the
West from Philadelphia. A3 Sir Morton
wJPeto, who is bo Urgelyirtcrestd, half re
sumed M businesshaving" overcome his fi
nancial difficulties, we suppose that his
heart will be cheered by the news from this
side of the water, and his rowerful moneta

The German Confederation.
The doings of the German Confederation
are just now of so great importance with
reference to the impending war in Europe,
that it may be worth while to refresh the :
minds of our readers with reference to the
structure and functions of that unique asso
ciation of States.

Grand Duchv of Baden, 1,305,000, The
total population of tha Confederation, ex
clusive of Austria and Prussia, is about 20,
000,000. The ordinary Federal army num
bers 303,4)3 men, famished in proportion
ate contingents by the several States.
About 175,000 of these, however," are furn
ished by Prussia and Austria.
The declared object of the Confederation
is the maintenance of the security of Ger
many and the independence and integrity
of its respective States. Its affairs are
managed by a Representative Assembly,
called a Diet. In this body each State has
one or more votes, according to rai.k, the
whole number being sixty-nine. Austria,
Prussia, Ravaria, Saxony, Hanover, and
Wurtemburg, Luxemburg, and Limburg,
each three ; Brunswick, Mechlen-Schwerin,
Nassau, two ; and each of the other twenty
four States one vote each. When it acts,
however, as the "Minor Assembly," or
Committee," each of the larger States has
one vote, while the eight smaller btates are
grouped together and vote fractionally.
It was in this Diet that, on the llth inst.,
Austria moved for the immediate mobiliza
tion of the entire Federal army ; whereupon
Prussia notified the minor States that upon
the passage of- such a measure she would
regard the confederation as at an end.
Nevertheless, the measure passed. If Prus
sia acts according to her threat, we do not
see how she can avoid giving Austria the
support of all the other members of the
Confederation. If such should prove to be
the case, Austria's proper military force
would be increased by .over 2'X),()00 men,
while she would enjoy other advantages
from cooperation of the minor States that
would tell largely in the struggle. But it
is not improbable that some of the minor
States mav be sneedilv occumed bv Prussia.
and their resources turned into her own
channels. In the event of a great war, such
as this promises to be, it is impossible to
foretell the complications that may irise.
Should Prussia prove successful, she will
probably absorb many of the smaller States,
thus increasing her standing and influence
as one of the first powers of Europe. The
days of the German Confederation, in its
present form, are evidently numbered.
Judges of Election.
If the principle laid down by the majori
ty of Justices of the Supreme Court is cor
rect, then we have all been wrong in the
manner of conducting elections. The ma
jority of Justices decide that liefore a deserter
can be disfranchised, as provided in the law,
he must be tried and convicted before a
competent tribunal. The judges of an elec
tion are nt competent to dispose of such
cases. Now, in all other ca-es involving
questions of residence, aae, and payment of
taxes, judges of election have power to de
cide. It is left for theru to determine
whether a man has paid his tax how old he
is whether he has been naturalized, and
how long he has resided in an election dis
trict. On any of these points, an election
officer can disfranchise a man. It a voter
fails to qualify himself on all the require
ments involved in these questions, a. judge
of election has power to reject his vote. If
the tax collector h is written opposite to a
citizen's name on the assessment list that he
h:is failed to pay his tax it debars him from
a vote. If a man's nam is not on the as-
1 1 - 1 1 .
cessment, an l lie hi pa 11 neith'T State nor
county tax with'n two years it disfranchises
him. Ju ices of elections have discretiona
ry power in all these cases. Th?rare made
competent to decide on the qualifications of
a citizen to vote. And vet a majority of
Justices of the Supreme Court have deci
ded that judges of i-Wrions have no power
to decide on the qualifications of deserters
to vote, when the law defining the rights ot
deserters is as plain and as positive, and as
constitutional as any law regu'ating elec
tions and fixing the right of electors. If a
man must le tried and proven to be a deser
ter, before he can be disfranchised, why not
try and prove men guilty of not having paid
their taxes, of not having been naturalized,
of a deS: iency in the period of residence,
before debarring them from voting? These
cases are all analagons with that of the de
seners. Election officers can decide upon
them all. Whv then should they not be
able to decide upon the risrht of a deserter
to vote? Harrixburtj Telegraph.

t:,rli.N ffa'o'isl.fd. and who agree iu
following propositions, viz :
The Ui.iou of the Scutes is in every case
in lissolubie, an 1 is erpetual ; and the Con
stitution of the United Suites and the laws
pa-sed by Congress in p-ir.-u i:ico thereof,
supreme and constant, and universal in their
obligations.
The rights, the dignity and equality of
the States iu the Uoion. including tUe right
of representation in Congress, are solemnly
guaranteed Ly that Constitution, to save
which from overthrow much blood aul treas
ure were expended in the late civil war.
There is no right anywhere to dissolve the
Union. or to seperate States from the Uniom
either by voluntary with Irawal, by force of
of arms, or by Congressional action ; m ither
by the secession of the Stares nor by the ex-
elusion ot their loyal and quauiied ltepre
sentatives, nor by the National Geveinment
in any other form.
Slavery is aboli.-hcd, and neither can nor
ought to be re-established in any State or
Territory within our juri.-diction.
Each State has the undoubted right to
prescribe the qualification of its own elec
tions, and no external power ought to dic
tate, control, or influence the free and vol
untary action of the State in the exercise of
th: t right, the maintenance inviolate of the
right ot the State, and especially ot the
right of each State to order and control its
own domestic concerns according to its own
judgment. Exclusively subject only to the
Constitution of the United States, is essen
tial to that balance of power on which the
perfection and endurance of our political fu
ture depends, and the overthrow of that sys
tem by the usurpation and centralization of
power in Congress, would be a revolution
dangerous to republican government and
destructive of liberty.
Each House ot Congress is made, l y the
Constitution, the sole judge of the election
returns and qualifications of its members,
but the exclusion of loyal Senators and Rc-p-reseutatives,
properly chosen and qualified
under the Constitution and laws, is unjust
and revolutionary.
Every patriot should frown upon all those
acts and proceedings everywhere, which can
serve no other purpose than to rekindle the
animosities of war, and the effect of which,
upon moral, social and material interest at
home, and upon our standing abroad, differ
ing only in degree, is injurious, like war
itself.
The purposes of the war having been to
preserve the Union and the Constitution by
putting down the rebellion, and the rebel
lion having been, suppressed, all resistance
to the authority of the General Government
being at an end, and the war having ceased,
war measures also should cease, and should
be fallowed by measures of peaceful admin
istration, so that union, harmony and con
cord may be encouraged, and industry, com
merce and the arts of peace revived and
promoted, and the early restoration of all
the States to the exercise of their consti
tutional powers in the National Govern
ment is indispensably m-csary to tho
strength and the defense of the Republic
to the lininteiiaiice of the public credit.
All delegates elected in the thirtv-six
States and nine Territories of the United
State-, and in the district of Columbia. who
in a spirit of patriotism and love for the U
nion, can rise above persona! .--eeiiona! con
sideration, and who desire t- see a truly Na

measures to avert possible danger to the
same, are especially requested to take part
in the choice of such delegates. But no
delegate will take a part in such convention

On Monday evening, June lSthjat York,

The only cause for the attack was the pub
lication of a card signed by a number of the
"boys in blue" repudiating all connection
with the Clymer Club in that place, pro
nouncing the use of their names a forgery,
and showing that many other names thus
published wera otdead soldiers, who lost their
lives on the field of battle. The course of
the "Democrats" of York, on this occasion,
only serves to show'the hopelessness of the
cause in which that party is engaged, and
presages the certain defeat of Heister Cly
mer, the pretended "soldier's friend."
Some of the Democratic organs are spe
cially "exercised because the Union party
professes lo make the Constitutional amend

whether any amendment to the Constitu

pressed on the Legislatures of the several
States for final decision until after the ad

the receipt of this communication is request

W.lliam II. Seward.
The accompanying papers are the certifi

stitution, and the Sectary's note of circu
lar addressed to the Governors of the re
spective States.
The European War.
No single cause can be assigned for the war
which has just burst upon Europe, but the
pretext upon which' Prussia and Atwria
tight is a very simple matter. By the defeat
of Denmark, whom England encouraged to
go to warand then deserted, the two great G er
man Powers became in 1 Sot joint possessors
of the Duchies of Schlcswig, Holstein, and
Lauenbuig. Less than a "year afterward.
Austria sold her rights in Lauenburg for
2,500,000 thalers, and by the Convention of
Gastein it was agreed that the ioint occu
pation should terminate, that Austria should
take possession of Holstein, and Prussia of
Schleswig. This was one step in the nego
tiation by which Prus-ia expected ultimate
ly to become master of both the Duchies,
but beyond this point Austria refused to go,
and rejected everv proposition for the final
cession of her rights to Holstein a province
ot little value to Austria, bnt of great value
to Prussia on account of its nwrtte&s to her
frontiers, and of its seaport, Ivijl. As the
diplomacy of Prussia grew more and more
-ustr
tf.n!xr
nouneea as a violation ot the Convention of
Gaotem, pinre by that Convention it had
been agreed that all matters relating Jo tbe
Duchies should be aettled betweenAustria
and Prussia independenily of the Confedera
tion. Prussia, therefore, declared that Con
vention at an end, and insisted that, as a
consequence, her right to the joint occupa
tion of Holstein was revived. She prepar
ed, therefore, to march troopa into that
Duchy.
Long before th dispute had rAchel this
tiures ot Hie
urgent. Austria, on the first of June last,
handed over tbe question to the Federal Diet
of Germany. TlmstenP ms-T:l 5netfin!xr An-
oint, the menacing tone of the negotiations
between these two great Powers had warn
ed Europe that the Continent was on the
eve of war ; and the rest of the States were
not less interested in the approach of war
than Austria and Prussia themselves. There
are, in the lirst place, the minor States of j
Germany, forming with Austria and Prussia j
the Germanic Confederation. Iu that Con- I
federation, two struggles have long been
proceeding side by side ; tint, the struggle
between Austria and Prussia for a coutrcl
Iing iniiuvuee 011 the whole Confederation;
second, the struggle of the people, including
the people of Austria and Prussia as well as
of the minor Slates, toward a German na
tionality, which should embrace under one
government all German-speaking popula
tions. No war could occur which should
not have an immense influence upon these
two issues. Austria has succeeded in at
taching temporarily to her side a majority
of the minor States, and the Federal Diet,
representing a population 01 iy,tMUAo, ex
clusive ot Austria and Prussia, has declared
in favor of the former. Neither Austria
which still obeys the despotic traditions of
the House of ltapsburg. nor Prussia which
is ruled by Uisma:k, a minister whi. se (oii
cy is nothing by the people, has any sympa
thy with the aspiiations ot the German
Liberals, but lnjth have conciliated and u ed
the popular feeling as one instrument in
their struggle for supremacy. In point of
fact, it is this desire for leadership in Ger
many which drive Austria an 1 Prussia to
arms, and by no means their misunderstand
ings alxmt the etty State of Holstein.
Ad the HoL-tein difficulties could be readily
enough arranged were it not for the irre
pressible conflict between the two great
German Powers, either to establish an as
cendency in the present councils of the na
tioii.or to become its recognized head when
ever its political reorganization shali take
place. Ihe minor German States, however,
are not at this moment the most important
element in the situation.
More than any other European power.lt
a!y welcomes the coming war. Since the
Peace of Villatranca. in lisy, left Yenetia
in the Lands of her Austrian tyrants. Italy
has watched, and waited, and prayed for the
moment when it might be possli-le to strike
a blow tor the liberation of that province
and the unity of the Kingdom. As soon as
it became probable that the negotiations be
tween Austria And Pra--ia mu.-t end in war,
Italy sent an envoy to Berlin to coiiciudean
offensive and defen-ive alliance with the en
emy of Austria. Prussia bouiid herself net
to make peace til! Italy should be able to
make terms with Austria, and Italy joyful
ly pledged herself to stand or fall with Prus
sia. War. indeed, had become a necessity
to Italy. In maintaining a great army for
the defense of her Venetian frontier, her
treasury had strained its resources to the
utmost. and her most provident statesmen
agreed it was better to hazard everything in
a war which had a reasonable chance of suc
cess, than to sink slowly into a hopeless
bankruptcy. The Italy which believes in
Garibaldi was impatient for an opportunity
to redeem its pledge to its brothers in Ve
uetia. Victor Emanuel's sympathies were
on the side of the people, and his personal
influence had been thrown, whenever it was
possible, in favor of the party of war. The
enthusiasm tor war was general, and as soon
as the probability of an alliance with Prus
sia was made known, the preparations for
war proceeded so rapidly that, even if Prus
sia and Austria had made peace, it would
have been scarcely possible to restrain the
volunteers under Garibaldi from crossing
the enetian frontier. On her side are the
symjathies'of the world. America might
care little for the oUarrel between Austria
and V
russia, but the emancipation ot Ve-
netia is to us the most interesting question
of E trnpean politics, and whoever fights on
the side of Italy we welcome as an ally of
Liberty.
Behind Italy stands France. Napoleon
may or may not mean to put his sword in
the scale at the first outbreak of war, but
he is, in some contingencies, the inevitable
antagonist of Austria. If the war went
hiird with Italy, the author of the Peace of
Villafranca could not look on while the Aus
trian eagle again flew over Milan. His co
operation amounts to a virtual security that
Italy canr;ot come out of fhe cr.nfest any
worse than she goes in. He will choose his
own timo to fling down bis gauntlet and an
nounce hi tprui, bnt. from tne moment the
first shot is fired on the Silosian border, the
Emperor .of the Frencb is the arbiter of
the situ.vion. Austria may conduct a con
test against Prussia Italy with some
hope of sopfpss. . Let Franco join tl" al
liance, and there is no future for the Ilaps
bu rgs.
