Tennessee ia the Union. :
On Thursday,-July lUth, the Tennessee
House ratified the Amendment to the Con
KtitutioR of the United States, by a vote of
43 to 11 the Senate having previously
concurred therein. This fact was at once
telegraphed to Congress by Gov. Brownlow.
On Friday the National House of Represen
tatives promptly passed a joint resolution,
offered by Mr. Bingham, . admitting the
Tennessee members to seats in Congress, by
125 yeas to 12 nays, and immediately sent
it to the Senate for concurrence On Sat
urday the Senate took up the resolution, and
after some debate adopted a substitute for
it, which is more of a change in the phrase
ology than in the principle of the resolu
tion. Thus, in admitting Tennessee, Congress
has given a decisive proof of its sincere de
sire to restore to the Rebellious States their
forfeited privileges, the moment it is con
vinced of their loyalty. This fact, says the
Y. Tribune, silences countless slanders.
Because of its steadfast determination to
admit no representatives from Southern
States which., refused to comply with the
very moderate conditions imposed by the
loyal people, Congress has been persistently
accused of a desire to prevent the restora
tion of the Union that its promises were
all vain. But the prompt admission of
Tennessee is the strongest possible assurance
to the South, that Congrcs is ready to re
deem, its pledges. . Ilad 3Ir. Bingham's
resolution been rejected, the loyal people of
lennessecj who so ardently desire represen
tation, would have had reason to complain
of bad faith. . It was well understood that
in the case ol Tennessee the adoption of
the Amendment implied admission to Con
gress. That was the last proof of Aer.loy
alty that could fairly be nuyrcd. This
conviction appears to have disarmed the op
position in the Ilouse.and even Mn Stevens,
who on Thursday so stubbornly used all his
parliamentary resources to defeat the reso
lution, changed his mind and voted for it
on i nday. The twelve votes atrainst it are
merely scattering, and have no party signif
icance, only a stern devotion to a principle :
and when we consider the ferocious opposi
tion the Congressional plan of reconstruc
tion has met, we can hardly rejoice too
much in- this triumph. At last, one of the
States that actually seceded in 1861, has
been fully and honorably restored to its po
sition in the Union.- -...
The Wax in Europe '
The news from Europe states that Cialdi
ni had crossed the j?o, with an Italian force.
The Austrian defeat had caused great dis
satisfaction at Vienna," and Beriedek's ar
raignment was urged. He asks for re in
forcements, and the Arch- Duke Albert, it
is said, would supercede him. The fortifi
cation of Vienna had been begun, and al
ready 500 guns had been placed in position.
Advices to the 8th havo been received and
state that Italy and Prussia had , accepted
the proposal for an armistice,' with a good
prospect for a cessatiou or hostilities for en
weeks. Frusaia, in case 'of an armistice
being agreed upon, will demand the occupa
tion of Bohemia and the evacuation by
Austria of the fortresses of Koinggratz,
Josephstadt, and Theresienstadt The
Prussians defeated the Bavarians at Derm -bach,
in Saxe Weinier. Thus far,it seems,
the Prussians have been entirely successful
in their campaign against the Austrians,
who hate made propositions for an armis
tice, and have agreed to cede Venetia to
Louis Napoleon for his intervention in their
behalf.
' The prospect for peace in Europe is rath
ereo the decline again. Prussia refuses to
agree to the proposed armistice, and js pro
eeeding with the Bohemian campaign. I-

jzexoivea, nai in tne nomination oi uen.

Prom Mexico.
The advices from Mexico continue to be
unfavorable to Maximillian's cause. Hua
chinango has been occupied by the Liberals,
and Monterey and Tampico were seriously
threatened, if the former place was not al
ready in the hands of the Mexicans. The
Liberal Generals Garcia, Mprales, and Co
rona were said to be receiving arms and
powder from the United States. A law
had been issued by the Imperial Govern
ment intended to make naturalization as easy
as possible. . The work on the railroad from
Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico remains
suspended for want of funds. The Em
press was to leave Vera Cruz on' the loth
July for Europe, to attend to "internation
al affairs." .... : .
The Case of Rosseau: The case of
Gen. Rosseau, member of Congress, who
caned Mr. Grinnell, of Iowa, a few weeks
since, was taken up on the 21st. Rosseau
made a speech, denouncing certain mem
bers who had acted, . he declared, as public
prosecutors, and then judges in his case.
for which he was excitedly called to order
from several parts of the IialL He conclud
ed by tendering his resignation as a mem
ber, which the House .decided did not clear
him from its censure. ' He was then ; called

the Speaker. He then immediately retired

The Democratic Meeting It Beading.
The Reading papers give a detailed ac
count of the "Great Democratic Mars Con
vention," held in that city on Wednesday,
July 18th, 1866. From the tone ot the
Democratic papers, the impression had
gone forth that at least fifty thousand would
be there, but the Journal,' in its account of
the meeting says, - there were not over ten
thousand persons present at the two stands,
and deducting the citizens of Reading (men,
women and children) from that number,
and less - than four thousand were in atten
dance from outside the city limits. Thel
Journal further says : ..,. v
"There were no arrangements for a pro-
cession no committees to welcome ana
escort delegations to their quarters in fact
there was no system . whatever in tne ae
monstration. Those who should have at
tended to the duty of extending courtesy
and hospitality to the visitors were riding
around the city in carriages (paid out of the
party fund,) with Montgomery Blair, Geo.
H. Pendleton, or some other big gun. The
rank and file were left to take care of them
selves. ...
"About 2 p. m. the speaking commen
ced. For this nuroose two stands were
erected one in East, and the other in West
Market bquare. . Here a new dimculty was
experienced. Like the boy who hadn't
enough butter for his bread, they found it
impossible to make a decent show at two
places at one and the same time. ' So the
speaking was by turns at each of the points
named. ; Hon. Heister Clymer, Dick Vaux,
of Philadelphia, and the Johnson party
represented by Montgomery Blair, spoke at
the eastern stand and the smaller fry at
the other place. Finally the crowd got so
small that both stands were abandonded
and the speaking was continued from the
piazza of the Keystone House. Here Val
landighaiu's bosom friend, Hon. Geo. H.
rendleton, or Uhio, (the late Uopperhead
candidate for Vice President,) addressed
a crowd of some two or three hundred
about 4 p. m. and delivered decidedly the
best speecb of the day. 1 he main topics of
discussion were the "nigger," "Tliad. Stev
ens," the "Constitution" and the Black
Republicans." The "nigger," however, was
the favorite theme, though "Thad. S tevens, ' '
came in for a full share of attention.
"Several professional reporters from Phil
adelphia and elsewhere, who came here to
report the speeches, were refused places on
the stand and not treated with even decent
courtesy. Thus it was that only very brief
sketches of the speeches were given in the
Philadelphia prints. Mr. Pendleton's speech
was not reported at all because the half
drunken men on the platform or piazza of
the hotel, would not make room for the Re
porter's table. Possibly the Berks County
Managers of the concern did not want the
speeches published knowing the weakness
of the cause, and fearing to have Copper
head sentiments properly ventilated.
"Between 5 and 6 p. m. the Convention
broke up. and the Copperheads left town,
with ill-concealed vexation at the decided
failure of. tbe first demonstration of the
cainpaign, and gloomy forebodings of de
feat in October next."
The telegram to the N. Y. Tribune re
ports Hon. Montgomery Blair, one of the
speakers, as saying that '
"The only issue was whether the country
would continu to remain in a state of dis
union in order that a political party may re
tain power ; or whether the old Union, as
established by our fathers, should be restor
ed, lt had been his misfortune to differ
with the Democratic party ; but it was
composed of honest men, whom he always
honored. They had presented the spectacle
of furnishing men and means to defend the
Government at the same time that that
Government was in the hands of their po
litical adversaries, thus proving, to some
extent, the iutense feeling ot devotion to
the country which ever characterizes them ;
this, too, when, as the speaker knew (he
beiug a member of the Government,) that
Government was wielded in a most unscrup
ulous and unjustifiable manner. The speak
er predicted that, should the Radicals carry
the election in October, the result would be
the establishment of two Presidents and two
Congresses, for the Radical sectional majori
ty would then immediately impeach Presi
dents Johnson and turn him out. while on
the other hand the Democratic members of
Congress would unite with the regularly
elected members from the South. He also
warned his hearers that they were on the
eve of another civil war,, the battle-fields of
which would be in the North, while the
South would remain united. He disclaimed
speaking for any sensational .purpose but
earnestly warned the people of the North
against the evil effects of tampering with
the fundamental law of the land."
Of this speech the Tribune editorially' re
marks" that this "is a threat of civil war,
and an appeal to the worst passions of the
worst men.: The people of . the loyal States
will not endure to be told that if . the Union
candidates are elected in October the Notth
will be the scene of civil war, begun by the
defeated party and the South. Pennsylva
nia is not to be, terrified into electing Cly
mer. . These threats v are the courage of
rewards."' " '
. Ruskin's style is sharp. He says in one
of his most recent essays : V'ou wowen of
England are all . now shrieking with one
voice you and j our clergymen together
because you hear ot your Bibles : being at
tacked. - If you choose to obey your Bibles,
your will never care who attacks them. It
is just because you never fulfil a single down
right precept of the book that you are bo
careful of its credit. jThe Bible tells you to
dress plainly, and you are mad on hnery ; "
the Bible tells you to have pity on the poor,
and you crush them under your carriare
wheels ; the Bible tells you to do judgment
and justice, and you do not care to know so
much as what the Bible word justice means. ' '
- If Hiester Clymer's policy as a State
Senator could have prevailed every Pennsyl
vania soldier would have been disfranchised.
Having - had the franchise guaranteed tn
' them by the justice of the Union men, is it
likely that any soldier will cast a vote in fa
vor of a man who used his official power to
deprive him of hat right? . We leave the
soldiers to answer this question at the polhw

To the Citizens or Girard asd Erik codxtv.
Pa. : Your letter, proposing to run me for Con
gress, is received. I would indeed be insensible
to the Commonest impulses of humanity were I
not 6 lied with the warmest sentiment of gratitude
for the friendly expressions and personal "regard
that your letter contains, signed as it is by Re
publicans and Democrats, whom I know to be
staunch supporters of tbe Government, and many
who have risked their lives for the preservation
ot the Union. Such distinguished consideration
overcomes every natural Objection I may have for
political honors, consequently I do accept of your
kind invitation to allow my name to be used, but
with the understanding, that I am not to be tbe
standard hearer of either political party (Repub
licans or Democrats) but if nominated it must be
by a People's Convention, as I belong to the peo
ple. They are my friends and patrons, and in
justice to them, composed as they are of all shades
of political opinions, I must eontinue to live in
their esteem, and labor to. promote 'their happi
ness and interests which tag been the height of
my amoition tor twenty-nve years,
Respectfully. Yours. 'DAsitirn.
