CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 11, 1S65,
UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
roB OOTEB50B :
Maj. Gen. JOHN W. GEAEY, of Cumb. Co.
fcTheiEepublican Convention.
Last week we published a call for a Re
publican County Convention to nominate a
County ticket, to which we direct the at
tention of the friends of Gen. Geary. Aa
the coming political campaign ia one of great
importance, it is incumbent upon, the Re
publican party to fully organize for the con
test, and hence, as a means to accomplish a
thorough organization, it is necessary to put
a full ticket into the field. We would,
therefore, urge the Republicans in every
election district in the county, or as many
as can make it convenient, to attend the
Convention, so that a good and acceptable
ticket may be selected. It will be remem
bered, also, that every member of the part-,
who may see fit to attend the Convention is
a delegate from his district, and entitled to
a vote in making nominations. Then, let
therebe a good turnout from every part f
ihe county. The Convention will be held
in the Court House, in Clearfield, on Thurs
day, July 19th, 1S65.
foreign NewB.
The resignation ot the Russell -Gladstone
Ministry in England, had been accepted by
the Queen. On Friday evening, the 2Gth
June, Earl Russell in the House of Lords
and Mr. Gladstone in the Commons stated
that they hT that day had an interview
with her Majesty, and had pointed out to
her that resignation was, under the circum
stances, inevitable. She had consequently
accepted their resignations, and they hold
office only until the appointment of their
successors. To afford time for the forma
tion of a new Administration both Houses
adjourned for two days. There was great
excitement outside the Houses of Parlia
ment on the evening in question, and politi
cal agitation was beginning to run high in
different parts of England on the question
of Reform. It is believed that a Tory Gov
ernment will be unable to carry on the Gov
ernment, and that there must be eventually
a dissolution.
There had been a serious military revolt
in Spain, connected, it was supposed, with
Gen. Prim's late conspiracy ; but the vigor
ous meas ares adopted by the Government
had previnted the spread of the insurrec
tion. A portion of the populace joined
with the insurgent soldiery.
The European "War.
Three Jay3 later European npws, than
that published on eur outside, has been re-
ceived. A great battle has been fought at
Custozza between the Italians and Austri
ans in which the Italians under victor E-
manuel were repulsed, with a loss of two
thousand prisoners. The Austrian loss in
prisoners was six hundred. At latest dates
the Italians had recrossed the Mincio, but
that they were undaunted and ready for the
fray. The Austrian army greatly outnum-
berd the Italian corps that was repulsed.
The Austrians are invading Lousbardy,
while Gen. Garibaldi is invading Tyrol.
The Prussians are still successful. Their
main army is advancing into Bohemia, and
Hesse-Cassel is to be annexed to Prussia.
The Hanoverian army is ready to capitulate,
and nearly all the Northern States of Ger
many have withdrawn from the Confedera
tion, and accept the Prussian plan of Fed
eral reform. The next arrival from the seat
of war will be looked for with great interest.
Prom Mexico.
. Late arrivals from Mexico announce that
the Liberals had captured Tampico and
Santiago that Maximilian's troops have
lately met with a number of severe defeats
, that the desertions from the Imperial t
the Liberal army are frequent that the
Mexicans are becoming more and more
nuited in the course of independence and
that the idea of annexation to the United
States is widely fostered in the Liberal ranks.
This looks as though Maximilian's situa
tion was becoming mere precarious every
day.
Another Convention.
A Washington dispatch states that "The
Southern Unionists, under the lead of such
men as CoL Stokes of Tennessee, and Gov.
Hamilton of Texas, are preparing an ad
dress to the true loyal and unconditional
Union' men of the Stafcefjatery in rebellion,
VadRnf a Convention to assemble in Wash
ington city in September next It will be
extensively signed by the leading Union
men of the South."
The Republicans of Warren county held
their Convention on July 2d. and declared
in favor of the renomination of Hon. G. W.
Scofield, for Governor.
Pemocrata and the Constitution.
The opponents of the Union party never
tire of changing us with violating the Con
stitution in not admitting, at once, and
without guarrantees, the late Rebel commu
nities to power in the Union as States.
But it is well to bear in mind, that our
Democratic census are quite ignorant of the
true scope and bearing of the Constitution.
This was shown very satisfactorily at the
commencement of Rebellion. These men
then maintained, quite as vehemently as
they do now, that the Constitution was be
ing violated by the Union party. They
maintained that we had no right, under the
Constitution to coerce a State ; and hence,
that we could do nothing but sit still with
folded arms and see th Government over
thrown. ThC was the Democratic idea of
the Constitution an idea that made our
Union a rope of sand, and our Government
but the sport of an hour. Had we adopt
ed this Democratic interpretation of the
Constitution, our country would have been
disrupted and lost. Republican govern
ment would have been overthrown on this
continent, and a great slave empire erected
upon its ruins.
It is manifest that the Democratic
leaders failed utterly to comprehend the
spirit of that noble instrument, the Consti
tution. The spirit of the Constitution is
that of human liberty of political freedom
of equal rights. It is impossible for a
sham Democrat to understand such an . in
strument. His idea is that of a totally dif
ferent order of thing.. He fails to under
stand the simplest elements of the Constitu
tion. He goes to its interpretation with
blind eyes and a beclouded judgment. To
his view, the Constitution might to be an
instrument of aristocracy and inequality.
He expects to find slavery fortified in all its
provisions. What can such a man's iuter
pretation be worth ?
Throughout the war, all our national ef
forts were unconstitutional in the opinion
of these men. The suspension of the writ
of habeas corpus wa3 unconstitutional ; the
suppression of Rebel newspapers was uncon
stitutional the aarest of Rebel spies was un
constitutional; the freeing of the slaves was
unconstitutional; the enlistment of black
soldierswas unconstitutional ; the draft was
unconstitutional; the greenbacks were un
constitutional ; in short, everything the
nation did to save itself from destruction was
unconstitutioual. Of course, these men now
think it is unconstitutional to keep Rebels
out of Congress.
But the question arises, What are their
opinions of the Constitution worth ? They
do not understand the instrument, as we
have clearly seen throughout the whole war.
They do not comprehend its spirit. They
do not see the scope of its various parts.
ITad'wo followed their vagaries we should
have ruined the country. Secession and trea
son would have triumphed. The black
banner of a slave confederacy would have
supplanted our glorious Stars and Stripes,
and our brilliant and once promising nation
al history would have gone out in the night
of revolution. From jkcA interpretations
of the Constitution, ' Good Lord, deliver
us !
"A Good Opening."
Berks county is proverbial for its unadul
terated Democracy. A strict adherence to
the tenets of that party is not a bad stock
in trade generally, and, it would seem, is to
be regarded as an important element to suc
cess in business. A late number of the
Reading Gazette, for example, coutains an
advertisement in which it is announced that
the citizens of Kutzflow n stand in need of
a doctor, and that to one of "Democratic
political sentiments a good opening is offer
ed !"' The most eminent and worthy disci
pie of Esculapius, we presume, "need not
apply' if his "political sentiments" are
not of the stripe indicated. Nothing short
of a 'Democrat" will answer their purpose.
Democratic salts will alone move their bow
els Democratic ipecac only will cause them
to heave Democratic sudorifics will be re
quired to sweat 'em and Democratic seda
tives to calm their nerves and insure them
sound slumbers ! We hope some "Demo
cratic" physician will at once come to the
relief of the suffering Kutztowners, well
supplied with the proper "political senti
ments," pills, emetics, and such other ined-
icamenta as they undoubtedly require.
The Fouimi in Philadelphia. The
celebration of the National Anniversary in
Philadelphia, was attended with the most
impressive ceremonies, and witnessed bv
many thousands of people from all parts of
the State. Ihe occasion was the transfer of
the flags of the Pennsylvania regiments
from the military to the State authorities.
Among the prominent personages present
we note Gen. Hancock, Gen. Meade and
6taff, Gen. Geary, Gov. Curtin and staff,
and others, both military aud civic. Gen.
Geary was cheered wherever he made his
appearance, as also was Gov. Curtin. Up
on the whole this was the most grand and
interesting display ever witnessed in the
State, and will long be remembered by all
who participated therein. .

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
Address to the Democracy.
The following address, endorsing the so
called National Union Convention to be
held in Philadelphia on the 14th of August,
1S66, has been issued by the democratic
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
and is signed by all of them except Bucka
lew and Saulsbury. This fact plainly shows
the general drift and object of the Conven
tion, and will enable all to act understand
ing in regard to it.
To the People of the L'n ited States : Dan
gers threaten the Constitution. The citadel
of our lilerties is directly assailed. The
future is dark unless the people will come
to the rescue. la this hour of peril "Na
tional Union" should be the watch-word of
every true man. As essential to national
union we must maintain unimpaired the
rights, the dignity and the equality of the
States, including the right of representation
in Congress and the exclusive right of each
State to control its own domestic concerns,
subject only to the Constitution of the li
nked States. After a uniform construction
of the Constitution tor more than half a
century, in the assumption of new and ar
uitary powers, the Federal Government is
subversive of our system and destructive of
liberty. A free interchange of opinion and
kind feeling between the citizens of all the
States is necessary to the perpetuity ot the
Union.
At present eleven States are excluded
from the national council. For seven long
months the present Congress has persistent
ly deuied any right of representation to the
people of these States. Laws affecting their
highest and dearest interests have been
passsed without their consent and in disre
gard of the fundamental principle of free
government. This denial of representation
has been made to all the members from a
State, although the State, in the language
of the President, presents itself not only in
an attitude of loyality and harmony, but in
the persons of representatives whose loyalty
cannot be questioned under any existing
con.-titutional or legal test. The Represen
tatives of nearly one-third of the States have
not l-een consulted with reference to the
great questions of the day. There has teen
no nStionality surrounding the present Con
gress. There has been no intercourse be
tween the representatives of the two sec
tions, producing mutual confidence and re
spect. In the language of the distinguished Lieu
tenant General : "It is to be regretted that
at this time there cannot be a greater com
mingling between the citizens of the two
sections, and particularly of those entrusted
with the law-making power." This state
of things phould be removed at once and
forever. Therefore to preserve the Union,
to vindicate the sufficiency of our admira
ble Constitution, to guard the States from
covert attempts to deprive them of their
true position in the Union, and to bring to
gether those who are unnaturally severed,
and for these great national purposes only,
we cordially approve the call for a National
Union Convention, to be held at the city of
Philadelphia, on the second luesday, four
teenth day of August next, and endorse the
principles therein set forth-.
W'e, therefore, respect fully but earnestly
urge upon our fellow-citizens in eacR State
and Territory and Congressional district in
the LTnited States, in the interest of union
and in a spirit of harmony, and with direct
reference to the principles contained in said
call, to act promptly in the selection of wi?e,
moderate and conservative men to represent
them in said convention, to the end that
all the States shall at once bo restored to
their practical relations to the Union, the
Constitution maintained and paace bless the
whole country.

Opinions of the Press.
From the X. Y. World, Democratic.)
The Democratic Senators and Represen
tatives who have signed the address fa
voring the Union Convention are ob
viously acting not in their character of
Congressmen, not even in their charac
ter of Democrats, but in the character of
ot simple citizens. As citizens, they have
a perfect right to favor or participate
in any political movement they choose ; but
having been delegated with no authority for
that purpose, they neither represent (nor
bind) anjbody but themselves.
The probable purpose of the Philadel
phia Convention is to form a new political
party. The political views expressed both in
the call and the address are such as.no true
Union man can take exception to ; and the
question whether a new party is the fittest
means,or a desirable adjunct to other means,
for giving them effect, is a fair topic of dis
cussion. Even if, after full discussion and
consideration, it should be decided in the
affirmative, that affirmative decision does
not dissolve the Democratic party. Tha
PhiladelpK Convention, most obviously,
will have . commission to do anything nP
the kind. hatever may be its success, it
is not called by the Democratic party, has
no authority ta speak for the Democratic
party ; it cannot in any way bind or restrain
the free action of the Democratic party, ex
erted through its customary channels. The
Democratic party is a patriotic, compact,
and time-honored organization. It made
the history of the country so long as that
history was clonoua. It has nonRttanin
cherished all the aims proposed by the lead
ers of the new movement : and un to tha
present moment has been the chief hope of
ine country, it is noc a supposable case
that this honored organization-can be aban
doned. "
If the new movement should have
greatest success conceivable, it cannot snr
plant the Democratic party. At lt it
will only run parallel with it. The Demo-
crane otate conventions, ine uemocratic
congressional Listnct conventions, an,ji jn
due time, the Democratic National Conven
tion, will be held precisely a if the new
movement had not been inaugurated. If
the proposed Convention proves a success,
it will, of course, appoint a National Cen
tral Committee, with the usual power to
call Conventions, and will proceed to perfect
its party machinery by appointing local com
mittees in the several States. If it chooses
to hold its conventions at the same times
and places as those of the Democratic par
ty, mutual committees cf conference may
bring their actions, as distinct bodies into
harmony. If things shall take this turn,
and reach this result, the new mof ement
may serve a good purpose. It will then
form an important branch of an allied army
against the common enemy.
The political value of this new movement
depends upon two possibilities. President
Johnson may identify himself with the par
ty it proposes to oreanize, and give it his
vigorous support. This is one possibility.
The Union loving people of the United
States may regard with great partiality and
favor a party organized in oppositian to the
radicals, and of which the President ac
knowledges himself as the head. This is
the other possibility. If both of these pos
sibilities should ripen into facts, the move
ment now inaugurated may prove of great
public- utility. The reluctance thus far
evinced by the President to separate him
self from the political party by whose votes
he was elected, has been the chief difficulty
of the political situation. But for this, the
Democratic party (and with it his policy)
would have triumphed in the spring elec
tions. In consequence of this, the influ
ence and prestige of the President have been
used to elect radical governors and legisla
tures. So far as the purpose of the Phila
delphia Convention is to construct a bridge
on which the President can retreat from the
party affiliations by which he has thus far
been bound, all conservative citizens must
approve of it We presume this will be
thi practical effect of the Philadelphia
Convention, if the numbers, courage, en
thusiasm, and geographical distribution of
its members thail furnish evidence of a
strong popular support.
I t is not in the power of a few public men
to inaugurate a political party at their will.
Parties are not nude, but grow. Political
conjurors may "call spirits from the vasty
deep," but it avails nothing if the spirits
will not come. If the people shall regard
this movement with favor, nothing can ob
struct its success. It is their prerogative to
form new parties ; and on them it depends
whether the new movement fhall be a suc
cess, or the futile effort of leaders who have
no following. The ends it proposes make it
respectable ; and the favor and indorsement
of the people will render it important. For
ourselves, we shall be gratified by all indi
cations that it is likely to receive a strong
popular support
From the X. T. Tribune, Republican.
The Union party of 1S6 1-5 disowns this
Convention repudiates the authority of
Randall & Co. to call it refuses to attend
or countenance it. Not ten of the ISO mem
bers of Congress chosen by the Unionists ot
1 S64-5 give this Convention any sort of coun
tenance ; while, on the other hand, their ad
versaries have, to a man. made baste to rat
ify and second I he call, and to urge t heir
party to be fully and ably represented there
in. Forty of their cho.-en represerratives
and Gen. L. H. Ros.-cau have united in this
recommendation ; and we presume the half
dozen whose names do not appear were ab
sent from Washington, and wiil sign on
their return. Thus the Randall Conven
tion will be essentially a gathering of those
who resoyedat Chicago in 1804, that the
W ar for the Union had been a failure, and
nominated accordingly. The journals which '
upheld the Rebellion to the last are nearly
all urging that '.'the South" shall be fully
and strongly represented ; so we shall have
at Philadelphia a full Convention of those
who maintained the Rebellion, and those
who insisted that it should not and could
not be put down, but a very small percent--age
of those who insisted that it could and
should be. Meantime, the cooing and bill
ing of the predestined com patriots of 1SG7-S
goes on with ever-increitsiug fervor and re
ciprocal delight
From the Philadelphia Telegraph, Republican.
The address of the Democratic members
of Congress to the country is a weak affair.
It lacks the vigor and bitterness of Demo
cratic speeches against the ivar and against
the Government during the Rebellion, and
fails to make up in argument what it lacks
in spirit Of course, it assails the policy of
the Union party ; but that we expected.
We have not succeeded in pleasing these
gentlemen since the war first broke out It
is too late to hope to do so now. "Dangers
threaten the Constitution," they tell us,
and so they have told us periodically for the
last five years. They said so when we com
menced to "coerce" the Rebels, when we
treed the slaves, and when we put arms into
the hands of the blacks, with which to fight
for the conntry. "The citadel of our liberties
is directly assailed," theycry. We think we
heard similar remarks from Mr. Vallandig
ham and other Democrats when the writ of
Habeas corpus was suspended by President
Lincoln, and when the Rebel spies at the
North found themselves somewhat arbitra
rily arrested. In short, we have heard all
this talk before. It has lost the charru of
novelty. It is as stale as a last year's al
manac. The Union people understand the Consti
tution ot this great country truly better
than these Democratic politicians do. They
have quite as much interest in preserviiig
the "citadel of our liberties" as the men
have wno gave aid and comfort to the re
bellion, and declared the war a "failure."
The Union .arty saved the country, when
the leaders of the Democrat h 4,1 nlnn.
