; " Eebel Outrage in Kentucky.
')a Tuesday night, September 20th, a
flarge force of rebels, numbering about 200,
vblanted a cannon near Warsaw,' Kentucky,
nd as the U.S. Mail steamer, General Bu
came down the river, . ordered the Cap
ita t!and or they would sink the boat.;
Ito object of this outrage was the forcible
.-seizure of Dr. C. W. Ferris,the Mail Agent,
who hid been a Provost Marshall at War
tar, during the war. His offense, was, that
iun his administration a rebel soldier had
fieen hung at that place by order of Gemral
Curbridge, and anvther was shot while at-
tempting to escape from a squad of Union
soldiers. The boat was landed Dr. Ferris
Kiied by the rebel ruffians and taken ashore,
and it is feared has been murdered by them.
Are Such men fitTto be admitted to seats in
Congress, and help make our laws? Let
the lojjdl men of Pennsylvania answer this
question, at the polls on next Tuesday.
- ' Their Position.
UIVKH BACK THE USWX AS IT WAS,
Ijout the Copperheads Otre buck our
t r Southern brethren howls every Copper-
. head orator, while every Copperhead organ
Ueiu-i with the charge that all acts of the
last Congress were illegal, that slavery is
i.U-callv aboK&ed.ihat the aebt sr incurred
in crushing tbe rebellion is illegal, and that
because the traitors are not represented in
Congress all its proceedings are void. Now,
while the demagogues are thus howling to
regain back the Union as it was. a Unit
which they warred four years to destroy
- we never hear them ask for our murdered
luioii men. We never hear a Copperhead
declare that he would like to see the wid
ows of the North got back their brave hus
hsnds who fell fighting the battles of the
Government, nor that the orphans should
have their fathers that were murdered bv
traitors. It is only the Union as it was, that
is asked for. ' lhe Union dead are of no ac
count in the estimation of Copperheads 4
rebels. Harrisburg Telegraph.
How They are Treated.
Almost daily reports come from the South,
of Rebel Grand Juries finding indictments
again.st Union offieers,citizcns of the South,
who, during the rebellion, seized and used,
in the name of the Government, the prop
erty of armed traitors. President Johnson
does not offer to interfere to put a stop to
these prosecutions ; but in every instance
where attempts have been made to punish
traitors in the South, and where military
authority is yet in force, a Presidential par
don was ready to shield the guilty rebel.
The "boys in blue'.' will make a note of these
facts, and jrnptly rebuke the authors of
auch wrongs at the ballot-box on Tuesday
next, October 9th. J
Change of Policy. '
. The President, a year ago, upheld a subor
dinate for refusing to contribute to the aid of
the Republican party, declaring that he did
not desire any man in the employ of the
Oovernment to contribute a portion of his
alary to the support of any party. Xmc,
novevrr', there is not a post office. ' clerk, ns

party. No man can vote misunder stand
ingly who carefully reads and ponders this
platform :
Resolvedby the Senate and House of Rep

namely:
"Article , Section 1. All persons born
or naturalized in the United States, and

zens of the United States, and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge the
Erivileges or immunities of citizens of the
Fnited States. Nor shall any State de
prive any person of life, liberty, or proper
ty without due process of law, nor deny to
any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
"Section. 2. Representatives shall be ap
portioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,

nited States Representatives in Congress,'
executive and judicial officers, or the mem
bers of the Legislature thereof, is denied to
anv of the male inhabitants of such State,
being twenty-one years of age, and citizens
of the United States, or in any way abridged,
except for participation in rebellion or other
crime, the basis of representation therein
shall be reduced in the proportion which
the number of such male citizens shall bear 1
to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one
years of aee in that State.
"Section 3. No person Khali be a Sena
tor or Representative in Congress, elector
of President and Vice President, or hold
any office, ci vil or military, under the U. S.,
or under any State, who, having rreviously
taken an oath as a member of Congress, or
as an officer of the United States, or as
a member of any State Legislature, or
as an executive or judicial officer of any
State to support the Constitution of the Li
nked States, shall have engaged in insur
rection or rebellion against the same, or
given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof ;
but Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds
of each House, remove such disability.
'Section 4. The validity of the public
debt of the United States authorized by law,
including debts incurred for the payment of"
pencioits and bounties for service in sup
pressing insurrection, or relellion, shall
not be questioned, but neither the Uni
ted States nor any State shall assume or pay
any debtor -obligation incurred in aid of in
