Orymsr's Prospects.'
A few weeks since, the Reading Gazette,
the home organ of Mr. Clymer, in commen
ting upon the prospect) of Mr. C's election
in October next, made the following decla
mation :
"He (Clymer) will undoubtedly poll the
full vote that was given to George V.
Woodward in 1863, and that vote will elect
him by a majority of at least 20,000.
This, certainly, must . have been a very
encouraging item of news to the friends of
Mr. Clymer, and it is almost a pity to spoil
their anticipations ot success by so large a
majority. But let us examine the figures
and see upon what foundation the Gazette
built its hopes taking tho Presidential vote
of 1864 as the basis:
Total vote in 1864, : : ;. : : 572,702
Woodward s vote in 180S, : : : 254,171
Leaves a balance of : : : : : 318,531
Deduct Rep. vote equal to Wood ward 254, 171
Leaves Geary's majority. . 64,360
From the declaration of the Gazette, and
the figures here presented, the people can
form an idea of the hopes the Democracy
have of electing Clymer, and the probable
majority of Gen. Geary in October next
specially when they remember that, in
1863,' Gov. Curtin was elected by a majori
tjr of 15,325 over Woodward.
Appointed Again.
Hon. -Win.. F. Johnston, of Pittsburg has
been nominated by the President for collec
tor of the Port at Philadelphia. Mr. John
(ton has heretofore been rather a prominent
politician, and was recently rejected by the
U. S. Senate as Collector of Internal Rev
enue in the 23d District. The present
incumbent, Col. W. B. Thomas, is an ex
cellent omcer, nign toneu gentleman, and
most ardent patriot, and the public gener
ally 19 much surprised at his removal. Dur
ing the rebellion, Col. 1 nomas placed two
regiments in the field, through his persona!
exertions. He did even more to sustain his
own and family reputation. Assuming the
obligation of a defaulting brother-in-law,
who had held a subordinate position in the
Custom House, he mad good, out of his
private resources, the loss sustained by the
government, amounting to nearly one hun-
dred thousand dollars. And while Col.
Thomas has faithfully stood by the princi
ples of the Union party to the eud, Mr.
Johnston was among the first to abandon
the Republican party and enroll himself in
the Doolittle-Cowan clique.
' The Atlantic Cable.
" , It will be a matter of general congratula
tion, that the Atlantio Telegraph Cable has
. been successfully laid, and that the two
continents are now in daily communication.
The enterprise was completed by the arri
val of the Great Eastern at Heart's Con
tent, New Foundland, on Friday, July 27th,
1866, at 8 A. M. The distance run is 1,669
miles,' and the length of cable paid out 1,864
miles. ,. A congratulatory despatch from the
Queen of England to thi President of the
United States has been received over the ca
ble, and President Johnson's answer return
ed. But the most gratifying feature in this
new enterprise is, the simultaneous an
nouncement, with the laying of the cable,
of a treaty of peace between Austria and
Prussia the former having acceded to all
the propositions of the latter. European
advices are op to the 27th and were pub
lished in the 'New York Tribune on the
morning of the 30th. , Thus the ancient
prophecy, that "the ends of the earth will
be brought together,' isvirtually fulfilled.
Sworn In. Messrs. :; Maynard, Stokes
and Taylor, of Tennessee, on Tuesday, July
24 th, were sworn and took their seats as
members of the House, and BIr Fowler-as
Senator Mr. Patterson was also qualified
and took his seal as Senator on Saturday.
Gen. Sherman was confirmed as Lieut
General, vice Grant promoted as General,
under the late act of Congress; and D. D.
Porter was confirmed as vice admiral, , and.
Farragut admiral tinder the same law.
AN0THEB REBELLION THREATENED
For some time past the Copperhead lead
ers and papers have been indulging in in
sinuations, that some startling events were
about to transpire, but these . intimations
were too vague to determine their precise im
port. The ''Great Democratic , Meeting"
at Reading on July 18th, however, 6eems to
have been the auspicious moment when
their intentions were to be made more man
ifest, as will be seen by the following ex
tracts from the telegraphic reports of the
speeches and resolutions, to wit : ; ; -v
"I warn mv hearers that thev are on the
ere of another civil war,' the battle-fields of
which will be in the North, while the South
will remain united." "Should the Radi
cals carry the election in October, the result
will be the establishment of two Presidents
and two Congresses." Speediof Montgom
ery Blair. -
. lhe Presideut is sworn to entorce tne
laws, and that tee call upon him,n the name
ol an outraged and vioiatea tjonuiuuun
and imperiled Union, to make the Congress
what the Constitution requires it to De tne
representative body ot the whole, peo
ple, . . . "and we adjure him by the mem
ory of the immortal Jackson. o convince the
Radical disunionists by word and deed, tnat
'the Federal Union must and shall be pre
served." Reading Copperltead Resolu
tions.
Here we have the position of the so call
ed Democratic party clearly defined. Should
they be defeated at the October election,
(of which we have not the slightest doubt.)
they threaten to inaugurate '''another civil
tear that they will "call vpon him (the
President) to make Congress" do their bid
ding or they will again rebel, and "the re
sult will be tlve establishment of two Presi
dents and two Congresses." . But lest our
readers may think that this feeling is not be
coming general throughout the Ftate we
quote the following : -
"The irrepressible conflict lmay as well be
renewed again. If it opens now, the peo
ple can soon RID THEMSELVES oi a great
burthen that is tied around their necks, in
the shape of green paDer. , Revolution is
what the Radicals are working for, and they
will oet it as sure as the sim shines, UNLESS
they 'dry CP. ' " Clearfield Republican of
July 25, 1806. ,. .
Here the threat ot ' revolution, or re
bellion, is so plainly made that there is no
misunderstanding it. It is positive and un
equivocal. It is also a significant fact that
the declaration is made by the home organ
of the Chairman of the De nocratic State
Central Committee, under the auspices of
which a secret political society the "Mys
tic Circle" is being orgunized all over our
State, the ostensible object of which is to
"ensure the success of the principles of the
Democratic T)arty," but the real, hidden
purpose of which is dimly shadowed forth
in that part of the "pledge," or oath, which
say :
"I. a. B. , before these witnesses, do sol
emnly pledge my honor as a man, and my
character as a citizen, that ... I will sus
tain the Democratic party, obey the orders
of the officers of this society, work tully to
attain its objects, and will never reveal its
formula, its proceedinars, its name, its num
bers, or its officers. All this I do most sol
emnly promise." Oath of the Jlystic'Cir
cle.
In this oath the members are pledged to
keep secret the existence of the organiza
tion are to keep silent as to its formula,
name, and numbers are to be strictly obe
dient to the "orders or the officers"
and vigilant in promoting the ' 'objects of this
society." Now, the particular point in this
oath to which we desire to direct the atteu-
tion of the pedple, is contained in the words
"obey the orders of the officers." If the
party leaders intend to inaugurate another
rebellion, all they have to di is to call upon
the officers of this society for aid, and the
members, according to their solemn pledge
or oath, are bound to obey and take up arms
in defence of the objects of the Democratic
party. This is truly a lamentable state of
of facts, and only pertinent to the party
leaders who so strongly sympathized with
Southern rebels in their late attempt to de
etroy the Union. "
Thus we have pretty clearly demonstrated
that the Copperhead leaders favor another
rebellion (not in the South but in the North)
in case they are beaten in the coming fall
elections, and that they are perfecting an
organization to aid them in case they resolve
to precipitate such an event. Previous to
the late war, the same leaders urged rebel
lion in case their candidates were defeated.
The result is known. They appealed to
arms but they most signally failed in their
attempt to dissever and ruin the Union, sim
ply because they had failed to corrupt the
great body of their own party ; and the na
tion lived. Now they again talk ominously
of rebelling should their candidates be de
feated. WiU they do it? Time will tell.
Should they make the attempt -they will
meet with the same ignominious defeat as
in the past. They will find that the senti
ment of pure patriotism and the instinct of
true National unity will prove too potent
for them even among those- whom they
count as their followers. That which har
pened heretofore is likely to happen in the
future. But, be this as it may, the leaders
of that party may as well understand now,
as at any other time, that the patriotic and
loyal men of the nation the men who stood
but so recently in the front ranks of the J
nion army, and their friends who supported'
tnem at nome will not be intimidated and
cowed by the threat of another rebellion.
Adjourned. Congress adjourned finally
on Saturday, July 2Sth, after a protracted
oossimi of nearly eight month. :
The Pennsylvania Delegation to the 14th
of August Convention. .
The Democrats of Pennsylvania have re
solved that they will be fully represented in
the 14th of August Convention, to be held
in Philadelphia. What will become of the
delegation appoiutcd by the Johnson Con
vention held in the city of Philadelphia on
the 3d of July, remains to be seen. " The
latter body appointed as delegates from the
State at large, Wm. F. Johnson, Jos. IL
Flanigan, II. W. Tracy, and Edgar Cowan,
with four alternates. It also appointed a
State Central Committee, which was em
powered to "do all things essential to the
success of the Administration of President
Johnson," and was also authorized to ap
point Congressional delegates as soon as re
cipients for those positions could be found.
Meanwhile the Democratic Senators and
Congressmen endorsed the movement, and
the Democratic State Central Committee of
Pennsylvania took "time by the fore lock"
aud appointed a delegation, which, as will
be seen by tho annexed lis', is composed of
leading members of that party :

Another War Predicted.

Mr. Uriel Wrieht. said he was willing to in

Philadelphia Convention.
There may be a few unthinking people
who have failed to discover the true charac
ter of the so-called National Union Conven
tion, which is to assemble in Philadelphia
on tho 14th of August, but the fact that
such men as Vallandingham, Geo. II. Pen
dleton, Ben Wood, Wm. Bigler, Geo. W.
Woodward, Geo. Wharton, Frank Hughes,
Jeremiah S. Black, and others of that ilk,
have been chosen delegates, will be suffi
cient, we should think, to open the eyes of
the most obtuse.
TheProgrammeSpoiled. The "Demo
crats" of Green county recently managed to
get up a call for a soldiers' meeting, evident
ly for the purpose of endorsing Mr. Clymer
for Governor. The convention met at the
County Court House, organized and passed
resolutions strongly ; endorsing Geary and
the . congressional plan of reconstruction,
and also protested against Clymer. About
fifteen "democrats" seceeded trom the meetr
ing. -

Destruction of a Railroad Bridge at
Havre De Grace. The destruction of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad six span stone bridge, over the
Susquehanna river, at Havre de Grace, on
July 25th, by a violent tornado, involves
the loss 'of a very considerable outlay ot
money, besides the probable death of two
persons who were on the bricrge at the time
and have not since been seen. '
The spans are the largest, probably, of
any bridge in the country, measuring 250
feet each, and thirteen in number, the en
tire length of the structure being 3.250 feet.
At the time of the disaster the bridge was
nearly finished, there being one span and a
draw yet to complete it.
The piers of the bridge were not the least
damaged, having been sunk in deep water
and built in the most substantial manner.
The tornado struck the bridge and almost
instantly swept it away. The company ex
pected to have the work on the bridge com
pleted by the 1st of November, at which
time the cars would run over it.

Regrets and recriminations are ;' equally
vain...It is too late to wonder whether,-had
the wise and patient Lincoln lived, the party
which sustained him and the war would nut
have settled without serious opposition the
great question of reunion. It is vain also
to blame the President or to asperse him.
Men act from mixed motives, and it is both
unmanly and unwise to traduce those with
whom we profoundly differ, and whom we
most steadfastly oppose. The welfare of the
country, through the triumph of the funda
mental American principle, which Mr.
Speed well defines in his letter of resigna
tion as "the political liberty and equality of
mankind under the law," this is the end
which every thoughtful citizen will constant
ly bear in mind, and it is therefore of very
little importance whether the . President is
influenced by the desire of re-election; by
the wish to live his future years peacefully
in Tennessee ; by an ineradicable "South
ern" proclivity; by an incKtingnishablo
hostility to what is called "Radicalism ;"
by incapacity to comprehend the situation,
or by the . most consfin-ioiis desire to do
his duty faithfully. It is vain to turn upon
him the fire of his own words when he w;us'
military Governor of Tennessee, or when he
succeeded to the Pie.idency; fir a man of
ardent, temperament and of "utterly undisci
plined mind Fays many thines under extra
ordinary excitement for which lie can not
fairly be held responsible. Whatever the
President's motives mav be, he has distinct
ly declared his poiicv. That policy will be
sustained by the Democratic partv, and
must be estimated not by his personal char
acter, but by its own merits and by the ne
cessities of action which the new coalition
will impose upon him.
This is true also of the policy of Congress.
Our judgment must be determined not bv
our opinion of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, or of.
Dir. lngersoll. or of any other ardent or un
wise declaimer ; nor by the ill-humor of de
lates, or by the occasional folly of certain
acts. Neither is it of present importance
whether Congress has been too jlow or too
fast in arriving at its conclusions. Con
gress has been maligned, derided, and de
nounced as the President has been. It is
enough that each has declared its policy of
reunion. Upon those policies the country
will decide at the autumn elections; and
every sensible man will weigh them well.
The exact point, then, is this : '.' he Presi
dent holds that the States lately in Irebel
lion, having accepted certain conditions
which he has imposed without consultation
with the representatives of the people, have
now the right to l-e admitted to Congress
upon the same terms a th other States.
Congress holds that the Legislative and not
the Executive department of the Govern
ment is the rightful jud.se of the situation,
and that the public safety requires another
condition as the necessary complement of
those already accepted, and opposes admit
ting anyjate insurgent State to nn equal
share in the Government until it adopt the
amendment proportioning representation to
voters, and excluding from office at the
pleasure of Congress certain conspicuous of
fenders. The object of this amendment is
of vital importance. To state it is to prove
it ; for it proposes merely that . no State
which has tried to destroy the Government
shall, as a result of its abortive effort, gain
increased power in the Government.
There is thus no difference of principle
between the President and Congress, al
though there is that difference between him
and tte Democratic parry which denies the
right to impose any conditions whatever.
But the Presideut has done it. It was the
necessity of the case, and he could not help
it. . Either South Carolina had the right to
demand to resume her old share in the Gov
ernment without accepting the Emancipa
tion Amendment, or revoking her act of se
eessiou, or repudiating her rebel debt, or
she has no right to demand it until she has
satisfied any other condition which the Gov
ernment may require for the same purpose
of security .to the Union. The President,
indeed, claims that his conditions are the
only constitutional terms that can be asked.
But that is merely his opinion. No body
denies that every State enjoying equ: 1 rights
in the Union is entitled to representation.
But the very issue is, when and upon what
terms.' a State which has just failed in a con
spiracy to destroy the Union may safely re
sume its equality of rights within it. The
President insists that his terms are a suffi
cient security. Congress insists that some
thing more is necessary to make them se
cure. The country will decide between
them.

refers to our Minister at the Court of St.

"The respect of Mr. Adams in this country,
loth among .Americans and Englishmen,
cannot be overstated. The very qualities
which may prevent his personal popularity
with the many his coolness, delicacy and
reserve are the very ones which have made
him so' successful in diplomacy, llis distin

his predecessors. lie was cut out for the
position he has occupied during the war.
Had he not posses.-ed the exact qualities of
person and of social consideration, which he
loes, he would surely have failed to keep
the two countries at peace.

'The White Man's Government."
in three districts of South Carolina, the
number of white people, by the census of
1800, was 120,000, and that of the blacks
223,000. lhe number of voters, all white,
was 19,400. These districts had throe mem
bers of Congress and three Presidential E-
lectors. Uue would be their number if it
was strictly a white man's Government.
But as the South depended for its political
status on the darkies, it must have a repre
sentation of them in Congrcsss and in Pres
idential elections. One of the three in the
above districts represented the white nopu
lation and two stood in Congress for the ne
groes. A white-man's Government should
have things axed in a different way.

overcomes every natural objection I may have tor
polit ical honors, consequently I do accept of joor
kind invitation to allow my name to be used, but
with the understanding that I am not to be the
standard-bearer of either political party (Repub
licans or Democrats) but if nominated it touat be
by a People's Convention, as I belong to the peo
ple. They are my friends and patrons, and ia
justice to them, composed as they are of all shades
of political opinions, I must continue to lire in
their esteem, and labor to promote their happi
ness and interests which has been the height vt
my ambition for twenty-five years.

insist that no ctato engaged in the
belhon shall resume its national relations
until care is taken that it shall not have
gained political power by the rebellion. If
any su.cn ctate retuse to accede to a condi
tion so intrinsically just and so unprecedent
ly moderate, can it fairly accuse the loyal
Union men of the country of wickedly ex
cluding it from Congress and dangerously
delaying reunion ? The almost universal
testimony of the best witnesses of the con
dition of the late insurgent, section the
tone of its leading and popular newspapers
and addresses the evidence of conspicuous
insurgent leaders before Concress thor
frank, private avowals and conduct, and the
result of the local elections, all show that
the hostility to the Union, in which the
Southern citizens of this generation . were
bred, has not and it is not surprising that
it has not been torn ont nf thorn k
nble war which has devastated their homes
and ruined their properties. Justice, poli
cy, humanity, every wise and generous con
sideration, demand that they be not, there
fore harshly repelled and denied the fellow
ship of the Union. But the same conclu
sive reasons certainly require that they shall
not have gained increased power in the U-
established, the doors of Congress will be
lurown open to tnem.
The contingency which constrained the
Government to lew the nresent heaw Na
tional taxation sprang from the necessity of
caning out large nodies ot troops and main
taining them in field, to crush a rebellion
organized under Democratic auspices.; . This
is one of the important facts of the times of
which no business or laboring man should
lose Mght. It is calculated to cast a flood
of light on the present position of political
parties. .... , . , . . , , . t
The Democrats profess to grieve' that cer
tain loyal claimants are not admitted to seats
in Congress. They may as well spare their
sorrow. Loyal claimants from the South
profess great satisfaetion with the present
arrangement. Ihey are the other sort who
are discomfited. . Any lamentation over
them is thrown away.
