. J. ROW, EDITOR AMD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 19, 1867.
Perfectly ' Natural.
A so-called Democratic jourual in the
State of InJi:ina, the Evansville Daily
Sentinel on-the-Border, advocates the nom
inatioa of Robert E. Lee, as the Demo
cratic candidate for President, in 103. The
editor contends that:
"Lee is the first choice of a grand army
of Democrats in the North, who are not
afraid to urge his claims before the country
for tltat position for which God especially
endowed him. The timid men of the party
may tremble when his name is spoken, but
the brave applaud."
- That it is the purpose' of the Northern
Copperheads to honor one of the leaders of
the late Rebellion with the nomination as
their candidate for President in 1SC8, admits
of little doubt, and hence the position of the
editor of the Sentinel is perfectly logical
and uatural. If the Copperhead Democra
cy are to succeed in bringing alout a politi
cal revolution by which u loyal national
policy is to be overthrown, and the rebel
cause, defeated on the battle-field, is to tri
umph at the ballot-box, the leader of the
Tebel army, of all men, is the most . proper
person to direct and control the new order
of things.
The Copperhead Platform.
In another column of to-day's paper will
be found the resolutions of the State Cop
perhead Couvention, which assembled at
Harrisburg, on June 11th. The , Philadel
phia Pres. in referring to the resolutions
passed by the Convention, briefly says :
"They are wordy, bad tempered, and in
the main evasive. Great care is manifested
for the late rebels and their States, and
none for the country. There is not one gen
uine heartily loyal sentence in the whole pa
per nothing that stirs the blood or arouses
a patriotic impulse. They are the old lead
en, depressing, lukewarm protestations. On
the question of impartial snflVugo frn.
vention takes high NasViy ground. This
was to be expected. The tariff issue is
avoided by an equivocal attempt to find
fault with the Union party. All the rest is
yerbiage, cuuningly contrived to cover dis
loyal sentiments to-day and avert attention
from the damning record of the past."
A Murderer Sentenced. John 15. Ad
dington, who was convicted of murder in
the first degree in the Butler county court,
on a charge of killing James II. Teeple and
Sidney Cunningham, of Portersville, on
Christmas eve last, was granted a new trial
on June 11th, on the ground that the grade
should not have been higher than that of
second degree. When the case was again
called up for trial on that day, the prisoner
at the suggestion of his counsel plead guilty
to both indictments. Previous to the sen
tence being passed by the Court, however,
the prisoner asserted his innocence of the
crimes with which he was charged, and in
timated that had put in the plea of guilty
at the suggestion of his counsel. The Court
sentenced him to twelve years imprisonment
in the Penitentiary on each charge making
8 term of twenty-four years.
Louisiana files into the ranks of the Union.
The Uuion Convention on Thursday, June
13th, announced the name of their organi
zation to be the "Radical Republican Par
ty." They are not content with anything
half way, when the end U. freedom and the
regeneration, social, political, and commer
cial, of the State. Their platform, which
is thoroughly radical, endorses Phil. Sheri
dau out and out ; declares against confisca
tion and pledges one half of the offices to
colored men. These Louisiana radicals know
exactly what they are about, and the vim
and vigor they display iusure success. , There
is more l.fe and blood in the New Orleans
Convention than in a hundred such dead
bodies as met at Harrisburg on Tuesday.
Ii is reported that a high official of the
present State Government of Louisiana was
aware of the recent defalcation in the New
Orleans Sub-Treasury some time before it
became public, but failed to make it known
to the Secretary of the Treasury as he ought
to have done.. This is a startling statement;
but in view of the extraordinary misman
agement of the national finance1 which has
.?en practiced in that quarter, it is not at
all incredible. When Congress meets we
hope hU Or'eans peculation will be
thoroughly peculated.
' Copperheads quote the Daily Xetrs as a
- Republican paper. The me journals are
in the habit of quoting BevcJy Nash, the
black man of the South, who is in the prac
tice of. opposing every effort of good iv.T nis
race, a representative of the colored matu
Vhat the blacks say of Mr. Nash is arpH
&Je to the iitor of the Xews, namely, lie
ii &e meanest purchasable material of his
kind now in existence, and is despised by
those whom h professes to represent.
Common Schoob.
At the late session of the Legislature a
supplement to the Common School Law
was enacted. The second secou section pro
vides :
"That, after the passage of this act, no
teacher i:i th's Commonwealth hhall rective
from a Couuty Superintendent (nor from
the jposed City and Borough Superinten
dents hi some localities) a certificate as a
teacher who has not a fair knowledge of
orthography, reading, writing, geography,
English grammar, mental and written arith
metic, history of the United States, and the
theory of teaching, nor shall such certificate
be given to any person who is in the habit
of vsing a a Leverage any intoxicating
drink, and all certificates given to teach
ers shall set forth -the branches in which
those holding them are proficient, and indi
cate by suitable marks the degree of that
proficiency."
It further provides that henceforward
there shall be three grades of certificates
teachers Provisional, Professional and Per
manent. The .Provisional certificate is good for one
year, but cannot be rcnewel without exami
nation. The Professional certificate is good
for three years. The Permanent certificate
can be granted only by the State Superin
tendent, and to a person holding a profes
sional certificate, upon recommendation of
a board or boards of directors in whose em
ployment the applicant shall have taught
for the three preceding years, countersigned
by the County Superintendent and approved
by a committee of five teachers appointed
for the purpose who may examine if tiny
think proper.
Heretofore, the Provisional Certificate
has been without authority of law- It was
adopted on account of the inadequate sup
ply of teachers properly qualified. It should
further be noticed that Professional Certifi
cates, issued before the passage of this act,
expire June 1, 1803.
The extraordinary usurpations of Ma
rosque, in the United States of Colombia,
and the prospect of a long lease of war in
those distracted countries, are awakening
speculations as to how far foreign nations
are bound to suffer a reign of anarchy which
is disastrous to their interests as well as to
the people-more immediately concerned in
it. We hae much at stake in the Colom
bian States, especially Panama; several of
the European Powers are also deeply inter
ested in it ; and It is becoming a pressing
question whether the United States, Great
Britain, and France ought not to establish
a 'sort of Protectorate over these riotous
South American communities, so as at least
to secure the safety of the foreign residents.
It is said to be probable in case Congress
is not convened in July by the Speakers of
the two Houses, that the President will is
sue his proclamation calling an extra session
in August, in view of the difficulties and
complications and conflict of opinions con
cerning the proper excution of the recon
struction act. It the President will but in
struct his Attorney General not to interfere
with the military commanders of the five
great districts, there will be no trouble at
all. There is no difficulty among them in
deciding whether the act is intended for
rebels or Mexicans, and that the spirit in
which it is to be executed is the spirit in
which it was passed.
General Longstrect publishes a letter in a
New Orleans paper recommending compli
ance with the military reconstruction bill,
which, he says, "is a peace offering."
The Reading Gazette, the organ of Mr
Clymer. late Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, copies the above extract, and adds
the following comment :
11 A devil of a peace offering, to be sure.
The General is getting demented." .
Such is the comment of this "Democrat
ic" journal. It is short and insignificant ;
but it emphatically conveys a clear meaning
of Democratic principle.
The Mexican Minister in Washington has
received a letter from Gen. l'orfirio Diaz
announcing that the fall of the city of Mex
ico was expected within a few hours. In
the opinion of General Diaz the city could
have been taken before, but as there was
not sufficient cavalry in the Republican ar
my, there would have been a good chance
for some of the leading Imperialists to es
cape. Now it is thought all will certainly
be captured, as at Queretaro.
A prize fight took place at Aquia creek,
Virginia, on the 13th, between Collyer and
Aaron, the latter being proclaimed the vic
tor after OS rounds had been fought. Both
men were badly hurt. Later advices state
that Aaron has since died from the injuries
received in the fight, and that Collyer is in
a critical condition.
In the Democratic State Convention, the
resolution offered b3T Albert Schofield, com
plimenting Gen, Sheridan for his treatment
of Gov. Wells, was declared out of order,
and never heard of again. When was a
resolution complimenting our heroes ever in
order in a Democratic Convention ?
The soldiers of Pennsylvania will of course
not forget that a resolution complimenting
General Sheridan, offered in the Sharswood
State Convention, was declared out of order.
When was, or when will be, a resolution
complimentary of a Union soldier, in order
in a Copperhead Convention ?
ThJ Surratt trial was commenced in
Washington, on Monday a-week, but up to
this date tilt Ourt. has failed to obtain a

Aifcrap of History.
"When the Democratic Tarty was in Power."
We are continually and hugely amused
with the boasting of certain Copperhead or
gans as to what the Democratic party did
when it was in power. The people are told
that the radicals are destroying the Govern
ment, depreciating the vaiue of property,
and seriously damagiug all its resources of
wealth. This, ejaculate the copperhead or
gans, was not the case when the Democratic
party icas in power. But those who reck
lessly charge corruption on the radicals, and
claim purity for the Democracy, are as bar
ren of facts to prove their charges as they
are to establish their claims. - .
It is a historical fact, that while that par
ty was in power, iu every department of
the Government, the scheme of secession
was concocted by the leading Democrats of
the South, who controlled the Government
and managed the Democratic party of the
country. Long before Mr. Lincoln was in
augurated 1 'resident of the United States,
aye, on the very day it was announced to
the American people that he was elected
President, and before his policy of Govern
could be enunciated, it was telegraphed from
South Carolina to Washington that the se
cession of that State was a foregone conclu
sion. Not only that, but December 20,18f0,
South Carolina seceded; January 7, 1SGI,
Florida seceded ; Mississippi went out Jan
uary 9; January 11, Alabama seceded ; on
the ICth of the same month Louisiana sece
ded; Georgia on the ISth of January ; Ar
kansas May 6; North Carolina the 21st of
May, and lennessee the 1st day of May ;
Texas February 5 ; Virginia April 27th.
Every one of these wet e Democratic States,
constituting the main strength of that party
ichich now claims to be the only sati ation of
the country, and nearly all of them seceded
from the llnion before, Mr. Lincoln was in
augurated, and under a Democratic admin
istration. But let us go further, and see what these
Southern people did while the- yet hai all
the power in the Government, the Treasury,
archives, Army and Navy. These States
went into rebellion on the days we have
given, and began their deeds of capture and
plunler as was their plan. January 2d,
1801, South Carolina troops took possession
of Fort Johnson ; Fort Pickens, December
27, IXoO. This fort cost the government
$.j3,s0;s. Anderson was compelled to evac
uate Fort Moultrie December 26th, 1 SCO.
January 3. 1 !$!, Fort Pulaski, in'Gcorgia,
was seized, costing the government, as it
did, $JS,.sr)9. Fort Jackson, costing (he
government $182,000, was occupied January
3, lsfil. Fort Marion. St. Augustine Is
land, Florida, January 7, 1 SCI, cost $51,000.
Fort Barrancas, Pensaeola, January 12th,
I SGI. Pensaco-a seized January 12, 1861.
Fort Morgan seized January 4, 1801, cost
?l,242,r52. Fort Gaines was seized Janu
ary 4, 1801, cost $221, .300. Fort on Ship
Island January 20, 1801. Fort St. Philip,
near New Orleans, seized January 10, 1S01,
cost 208,734. Fort Livingston seized Jan
uary 18, 1861, cost $:jG2, 377. Fort Brown,
Texas, March 5, 1801. Fort Smith, Arkan
sas, taken April 21, 1861, with stores, &c,
valued at $300,000. Nearly the whole of
thid unlawful and rebellious woik had been
done while the Democratic party was in
power.
We have given the dates and the facts "of
of history. Our enumeration of the wrongs
of the. Democratic party, when in power,
forms but a portion of the dark crimes
which hang over the career of that organi
zation. In its attributes as a political or
ganization it may fairly be accounted as the
Beast of the nineteenth century, because
its course has been marked by brutality and
it is covered with the blood of the noble and
the brave who died for the safety of the
Government. It would be as well pt least
for Democrats hereafter, not to boast of
what the Democratic party did when it was
in power.
Preachers as Politicians.
Ad incijeut of the Copperhead SJtute Convention.
It n ill be remembered that the Copper
heads have heretofore professed a holy hor
ror for the intermeddling of preachers in
politics. During the struggle for the Union,
if a minister of the Christian religion dared
to pray for the success of a Union army or
ship, he was at onee assailed as a fanatic
and a hypocrite. ' But now that the war is
over and loyalty in armed fight has tri
umphed over treason, Copperheads are not
so sensitive on the subject of prisoners in
terfering in politics, particularly when a
renegade from God s service can be hired to
traduce those vho are faithful to constitu
tional law and liberty as they are opposed
to rebellion, perjury of army and navy offi
cers, and the dissolution of the Union. As
an evidence of this new born love of Cop
perheads for preachers as politicians, a little
incident connected with the initial proceed
ings of the Copperhead State Convention
in session here yesterday is in fine point.
As soon as the committee on resolutions had
retired, a motion was made , that W. D.
Moore, of Westmoreland county, address
the Convention. In putting the motion the
President said it was moved and seconded
that "Rev. V. D. Moore," &c. At the
utterance of the title "Heverend," a low
hissed was heard, which at once ad
monished the presiding officer of his mis
take, and he promptly dropped the prefix
and announced simply "W. D. Moore," &c.
This little incident at once illustrates the in
consistency and exposes the tergiversation
of the Copperheads as a party. According
to their ruling, a man of God, true to his
callingTand faithful in his service, dare not
speak in behalf of the country in the hour
of its danger. If he does speak, he is a
fanatic. But renegades from the pulpit
like this fellow Moore, are applauded to the
echo when they allow themselves to be used
for the dirtiest work of the dirtiest wretches
who now lead the Copperhead faction.
Moore's speech before the Convention yes
terday would have done-'honor to the noto
rious Bishop Polk, during that divine's
drunkest days of rebel glorification. Aside
from its illogical extravagance and pitiful
perversion of the' truth, it partook of that
kind of billingtate, which has ever formed
the staple of the Copperhead oratorical ef
fort. But the incident we here record has
its point in the Copperheads acceptirg as a
teacher a renegade minister of God's reli
gion. The pupils are fit subjects for the
training of the pastor. Ilarrisbnrg Tele.
A farmer near Erie, Pa., bought several
barrels of spoiled sausages for the purpose
of using them as manure, and put a link
into each hill of corn. His corn came up
next day by the help of every dog within a
circle of five miles or so.
The "Democratic" State Convention.
The so-called Democratic State Conven-"
tion met at Harrisburg, on June Uth. On
the second ballot George Sharswood, Esq.,
cf Philadelphia, was nominated as the can
didate for Supreme Judge. The Commit
tee on Resolutions presented the following
PLATFORM.
We, the delegates of the Democratic par
ty of Pennsylvania, in general State Con
vention assembled for the nomination of a
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court,
profoundly grateful to the Supreme Ruler
of the universe for tint return cf peace to
our beloved country, but deeply anxious on
account of trials and delays which impede
the complete restoration and re-union of all
the States, and appreciating the dangers
which still threaten the safety of our politi
cal institutions and the future peace, liberty,
and prosperity of the people, resolve:
First. That we steadfastly adhere to the
Erinciples of civil government established
y the founders of the Union, and in the
present conflict of legislative usurpation,
with constitutional law we esteem a wise,
upright, and fearless judiciary the greatest
bulwark of public liberty and indivdual
rights.
Second. That the union of the States is
perpetual, and the Federal Government su
preme within its Constitutional limits.
Third. That representation in the Con
gress of the United Slates and in the Elec
toral College is a right fundamental and in
destructible in its nature, and abiding in
every State ; being duty as well as a right
pertaining to the people of every State, and
essential to our republican system of gov
ernment, its denial is the destruction of the
Government itself.
Fourth. Each- State having under the
Constitution the exclusive right to prescribe
qualifications of its own electors, we pro
claim as usurpation and outrage the estab
lishment of negro suffrage in ::ny of the
States by the coercive exercise of the Fed
eral power; and we shall resist to the last
resort the threatened measures of the lead
ers of the Republican party in Congress
with the regulations of the elective fran
chise in the State of Pennsylvania.
Fifth. That we are opposed to any amend
ment of the Constitution of this State giv
ing to negroes the right of suffrage.
Sixth. That the failure of the tariff bill
in the last session of the l.-te Congress, more
than three-fourths of the members of which
belonged to the Republican party, is an il
lustration of their infidelity to their pledges
and neglect of their professions in relation
to the great industrial aud financial interests
ot the country.
Seventh. That the Radical majority in
Congress, and thos who sustain them, have
overthrown the Constitution, dismembered
the Federal Union, and subverted republi
can government by a long series of usurpa
tions, among which are the following : The
denial of the rights of the States of the
Union to representation in Co lgrcss ; the
treatment of ten States as subjugated prov
inces, ai.d governing them by military force
in., timo ot peace; the enactment of laws
denying indemnity for arrests and false im
prisoninent, made without atithority of law;
the resistance of authority of civil tribunals
and their overthrow by substitution of mil
itary commissions for the trial of undefined
offences ; their efforts to destroy executive
and judicial departments of the Govern
ment, by threatened impeachment to con
trol executive action, and a projected remod
eling of the Supreme Court of the United
States ; to force obedience to Congressional
mandates ; the ejection from their seats in
the Federal Senate and House of members
duly and legally chosen ; the purpose of con
fiscation, jn violation of the declaration of
the rights avowed by the Republican leaders
and other guarantees of Federal and State
Constitutions, tending, as it does, to destroy
all protection to private property, advances
them far on the high road to repudiation.
Eighth. That a strict conformity, both by
Federal and State Governments, to all pow
ers, restrictions, and guarantees, as contain
ed in the Constitution of the Uritcd States,
a rigid and wise economy in the administra
tion of public affairs, and the election of
capable, honest, and patriotic men to office,
are measures absolutely necessary to restore
public confidence, avert national bankruptcy,
and to insure the perpetuity of our free in
stitutions. "
Ninth. That the late Republican Legisla
ture of this State has distinguished itself
tor tne number ot its unwise and unconsti
tutional enactments. Some of these laws
have already been judicially determined to
be ut constitutional ; others are unwise, in
expedient, oppressive, and fanatical, and
the members who sustained them should be
condemned by the people at the polls.
Tenth. That the power and success of the
Democratic party greatly depend on the
character and efficiency of its newspaper
press, und that, to give due force to its
usefulness, this convention earnestly request
that in every county all the members of the
Democratic party should make vigorous ef
forts to increase its circulation by giving it
their individual patronage and support.
Elecentlt. That the Democracy of Penn
sylvania, by their representatives now as
sembled, hereby tender acknowledgements
and thanks to the Hon. Georee W. Wood
ward' in his retirement from the position of
niaf .Tne; f i,: r . ut. e
u.-nv.c Ul 11119 uiiimuu wcauii, iur
the pure, faithful, and able manner in which
he discharged the duties of that exalted
position.
Twelfth. That the candidate we this day
present to the people of Pennsylvania for a
place on the Supreme Benth of the State,
is in a!! respects worthy of the confidence
and support of all who are in favor of en
lightened, faithful, and impartial adminis
tration of the laws.
Verdict. Against the Pennsylvania
Railroad. A special dispach from Mid
dlebr.rg. Pa., says the Pittsburg Gazette,
states th.ft the jury in the case of the heirs
of Col. Butler aginst the Pennsylvania Kail
road Company rendered a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs awarding damages to the
amount of 18,0OO. Col. Butler was killed,
by an accident which occured on the road
near Landisville. Lancaster county, October
14th. 1865. The case excited much iuterest,
and was hotly contested by both sides, the
Court in charging the jury held that the
accident was the result of negligence on the
part of the defendants. Mrs. Barr, the
estimable wife of James P. Barr, Esq., of
Pittsburgh, was killed by the same accident.
The next session of the Supicme Court
will be held in Pittsburg, commencing on
(he 21th ot June.
A Letter from General Longstreet.
The following is the text of Gen. Long
street's letter upon reconstruction, in reply
to a communication addressed to him by
John M. G. Parker:
New Orleans, La., June 3, 18G7. Your
esteemed favor of the 15th ult. was duly
received. I was pleased to have the oppor
tunity to hear Senator Wilson, and was a
greeably surprised to meet such fairness and
frankness, in a politician whom I have been
taught to believe uncompromisingly opposed
to the white people of the South.
I have maturely considered your sugges
tion to "wisely unite in efforts to restore
Louisiana to her former position in the Uni
on, through the party now in power." - My
letter of the Oth of April, to which you re
fer, clearly indicates a desire for practical
reconstruction and reconciliation. Practical
men can surely distinguish between practical
reconstruction and reconstruction as an ab
stract question. I will endeavor, however,
with renewed energy, to meet your wishes
in the matter. The serious difficulty that 1
apprehend is the waut of that wisdom which
is necessary for the great work. I shall be
happy to work in any harness that promises
relief to our distressed people and harmony
to the nation. It matters not whether I
bear the mantle of Mr. Davis or the mantle
of Mr. Sumner, so that I may help to bring
the glory of "peace and good will toward
men."
I shall set out by assuming a proposition
that I hold to be self-evident, viz : The
highest of human laws is the liw that is es
tablished by appeal to arms.
The great principles that divided political
parties prior to the war were thoroughly
discussed by our wisest statesmen. When
argument was exhausted resort was had to
compromise. When compromise was una
vailing, discussion was renewed, and expe
dients were sought, but none could be found
to suit the emergency. Appeal was finally
made to the sword, to determine which ot
the claims was the true construction of con
stitutional law. The sword has decided in
favor of the North, and what they claimed
as principles cease to be principles, and are
become law. The views that we hold cease
to be principles because they are opposed to
law. It is therefore our duty to abandon
ideas that are obsolete, aud conform to the
requirements of law.
The military bill and amendments are
jreace offerings. "We should accept them as
such, and place ourselves upon them as the
starting point from which to meet future po
litical issues as they arise. Like other
Southern men, I naturally sought alliance
wita the Democratic party, merely because
it was opposed to the Republican party.
But, as far as I can judge there is nothing
tangible about it, except the issues that
were staked upon the war and there lost.
Finding nothing to take hold of except
prejudice. whi h cann.it be worked into good
for any one. it is proper and right that I
should seek some stand point from which
good may be done.
If I appreciate the principles of the
Democratic party, its prominent features op
pose the enfranchisement of the colored
man, aud deny the right to legislate upon
the subject of suffrage, except by the States,
individually. These two features have a
tendency, to exclude Southern men from
that parly ; for the colored man is already
enfranchised here, and we caunot seek alli
ance with a party that would restrict his
rights. The exclusive right of the States
to legislate upon suffrage will make the en
franchisement of the blacks, whether for
better or for worse, a fixture among us.
It appears, therefore, that those who cry
loudest against this new order of things as a
public calamity, are those whose principles
would fix it upon us without a remedy.
Hence it becomes us to insist that suffrage
should be extended in all the States, and
fully tested. The people of the North
should adopt what they have forced upon
us, and if it be proved to be a mistake, they
should remove it by the remedy under re
publican principles of uniform laws upon
suffrage.
If every man in the country will meet the
crisis with a proper appreciation of our con
dition, and come fairly up to his responsi
bilities, on to-morrow the sun will shine upon
a happy people, our fields will again begin
to yield their increase, our railroads and
rivers will teem with abundant commerce,
our towns and cities will resound with the
tumult of trade, and we shall be invigora
ted by the blessings or Almighty God.
I am. sir, very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
- James LoxostreetI
TUE WAT TIIEV TREAT DESPERADOES IN
Kansas. The Leaven worth (Kansas) Con
servative of June 1st, says: For some time
past two notorious horse thieves and des
peradoes, named Marion Keller an 1 Milr'ord
Sanders, have been roaming through Platte
county. Missouri. On Thursday last, Jus
tice Jonn uavis, or rarkville, issued a war
rant for their apprehension and nlaced it in
the hands of Dan Kerns, an old soldier, for
service upon tnese two men. fcanders bad
made threats that he would never be taken
alive, and had openly defied any one to ar
rest him. Kerns took with him a posse of
six or eigut men, and after searching, until
yesterday noon, the posse came upon their
game near Farley Ford of the Platte river.
Kerns immediately ordered them to surren
der, which thev refused to do. Finally.
however, Keller expressed his willingness
to give himselt up, and held up both hands
while one of the party went forward to re
ceive his arms. Both Sanders nnd Keller
were armed with a pair of revolvers. At
this, Sanders, probably thinking no one
would see him, stealthily proceeded to draw
one of bis pistols ; but Kerns' eye was upon
him, and ere he could use the weapon, the
constable shot him dead. The posse took
charee of the other prisoner and proceeded
to 'Squire Yocum's, leaving the body of
