Democratic State Committee Rochs,

Dear Sir : The Democratic State Committee,
at its. recent meeting in thUcity. adopted the
" following resolution, vii :
'That we earnestly request the Democracy of
"each township in the State to Uke such meas
' area as will secure to every Democrat, in their
" respective districts, the reading of at least one
" Bound and reliable Democratic Newspaper, the
" County Newspaper to have preference, and that
"they will also endeavor to place such paper in
"the hands of all who aro willing to take, and
" read the same."
The circulation of Democratic truth is vitally
important. Error of opinion can best be combat
ted by calm argument. The family fireside is the
beat political meeting. Send your arguments
there, for dispassionate reasoning and plain truths
are there received in alt their power
The weekly newspaper, coming at regular in
tervals into the quiet homos, even of our antago
nist, is received greatfully and its contents road,
studied and commented upon. "Constant drop
ping wears the hardest stone," and eventually
the truths we teach and print, revere and prac
tice, will find a lodgement in the mind of our
adversary.
Sow is the time to make the effort to secure
that lodgment The commencement of the year,
the long winter evenings, and the unprejudiced
condition of the minds of many, ascompared with
me conuiuon oi me same minds six months
hence, are all reasons for maging this attempt
now. ,
I therefore address you with tho earnest request

A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER. -
By order of the Democratic State Committee.
. WILLIAM A. WALLACE, CA
This circular .contains some wholesome
r truths, which are as applicable to Republi
cans, as Democrats. Mr. Wallace says that
"error of opinion can be best combatted by
calm argument," and urges the circulation
of newspapers as the best means to accom
plish that end. We agree with him fully
m that respect ; and, we hope, our Repub
lican friends .throughout the county will
profit by the admonition and go to work at
once. "Canvass your districts. See who
has and who has not a Republican paper.
Form clubs, and urge every Republican to
take one ; and talk with the moderate men
of the other party, and endeavor .to get
them into your clubs." Now is the time to
do this work. Laterwhen the passions and
prejudices of men are aroused by political
excitement, it will be difficult to accomplish.
The better to enable our friends to carry
out the suggestions here made, we propose
to furnish the Journal at a reduced rate, to
campaign clubs from the 1st of Maytotlie
1st of December, as follows : Five copies,
for $5,00 ; Ten copies, for $9,00 ; Twenty
copies, (and a copy to the getter up oftlub),
for $17,00; Fifty copies, (and a copy to
the getter up of club), $40,00. The cash
invariably to accompany the order.
The period for which the Journal will be
received by subscribers, tinder the above
terms, is seven months and embraces both
the October and November elections. As
these terms are exceedingly liberal, we hope
our Republican friends will avail themselves ;
of this opportunity for the dissemination of
sound Republican truth in their various lo- j
calities in the county. !
Second Step ix Impeachment. The
formal articlea of impeachment on which Mr.
Johnson will be tried were presented in the
House of Representatives on Saturday, and
the Republican caucus have agreed on a
Committee of Managers on the part of that
body. The gentlemen agreed on to man
age the case are Messrs, Stevens, Butler,
Bingham, Boutwell, Wilson, . Williams,
(Pa.,) and Logan. The formal charges re
late exclusively to the action of the Presi
dent in his attempt, in defiance of the Con
stitution and a law of Congress, to obtain
possession of the War Department.- Tho
Senate is getting ready, and as soon as the
rules are adopted the first session of thehieh
court will be held ; and the President, U U
said, will be given two wecksto prepare Ins
defense, and in this connection Charles CA
Conner is mentioned. ' "
Jcst So ! Some of the Johnson men
propose to do some rather hard riding. For
instance, at a meeting of the "Constitution
al Union party" in Philadelphia last week,
one of the speakers said ' 'that if impeach
ment was carried out, a revolution would
follow, and they would ride up to tJieir hor
tea' bridles in blood in the streets of the city. ' '
Valiant chaps, ain't they?
Read the new advertisements.
Impeachment vs. Gold.
The Phil' a 1 Vest says : "Gold is going
down and' Government bonds are going up.
This is the response of the business of the
country to the brave action of Congress.
Let us for one short, honest week or two
trample under foot all Presidential slates,
resolutely suppress all political gambling
and wire-pulling, and devote our energies to
removing the incubus at the'White House,
and like a miracle credit will revive, trade
send its arterial currents jetting through
the nation, and industry stretch its brawny
limbs and shout, as with honest and cheer
ful toil it develops the real strength and
wealth of the land. Since five o'clock on
Monday evening, when the resolucion of
impeachment was passed, gold has fallen
from 143 to 141. The mo.aent the country
is sa.isficd that the Senate is in earnest,and
will act as promptly as the House, it will
drop not ten but twenty cents. Let us be
thankful and rejoice at the unexpected turn
which so suddenly has forced us all to acquit
ourselves like men, and which has rescued
us from so great a danger. August Bel
mont went to Washington with the poor
miserable remnant of the Democratic party
in his pocket and the power to use it as a
stock jobbing concern, expecting by creat
ing national confusion to fill his coffers.
His vaulting ambition has o'erleaped itself.
His ledgers have doubtless collapsed with
Johnson and the Democracy, while the
country sees at last the breaking of the
moruing."
Johnson's Cabinet. Johnson's Cabi
net, with every disposition to aid their Chief
kj the recent crisis, has shown unmistaka
ble evidence of "weakness in the knees."
Seward is mum. McCulIoch, at first hesi
tating, on a sober second thought concludes
to respect Secretary Stanton's orders. So
does Postmaster General Randall. Grand
father Welles, of the Navy, cannot even get
a corps of 'marrines' to oust Stanton. The
Secretary of the Interior makes no sign,
and the Attorney General had not been
heard from at last accounts. The entire
Cabinet is 'demoralized,' and Johnson even
more so than his subordinates. Never
since the organization of the Government
has there been such a contemptible .Execu
tive Administration.- It represents nobody.
Republicans spurn it ; Copperheads despise
it ; even Rebels scorn it! There is not an
official connected with it, from the highest
to the lowest officer who compromised his
Republican principles to save his office, that
will not be held in the most thorough con
tempt by evevy true .man.
Why ? For some time past the Copper
head Democracy have been engaged in try
ing to create tire impression that the govern
ment was cheated out of large sums of
money by its officers. We could not account
for this hue and cry, until upon an examin
ation of Commissioner Rollin's report to the
United States Treasurer, we discovered that
there was a large decrease in the revenue
collected in Pcnn.5ylvania,except in the 19th
district. Now, it is a notorious fact, that in
most of the collection districts in this State,
Mr. Lincoln's appointees have peen remov
ed by Andrew Johnson, and Copperheads
appointed in their stead. This accounts
for "the milk in the cocoa-nut." It is only
the old "stop-thief" dodge, to screen their
own perfidious practices.
Facts for the People. The Copper
heads, emboldened by the election of an
Alderman, or a City Auditor here and there,
are beginning to show their teeth.' They
are progressing backwards fast. In Ohio
they have withdrawn the ratification of the
14th Constitutional amendment, and in
New Jersey are doing the same. Were
they to get into power they would re-establish
slavery, repudiate the national debt,
and vote to pay the confederate bonds in
gold. The peoplj have only to note
perfect accordance between the Copper
heads and Ex-Ilebels, to see what would be
the result should these traitors get control
of the Government.
Like Beget3 Like. Bear in mind that
the advocates of Andrew Johnson's perfidy
and violation of law in the House of Repre
sentatives are the very men who assisted
the rebellion and prayed for its success.
With a single exception, not one of them
voted for Abraham Lincoln in I8C4. They
justified secession, opposed the draft, de
nounced the currency, applauded the New
York riots, gloried, over the defeats and
mourned over the victories of the Union
army." Can the American people forget
such a record as this ?
Sustain Congress.-In the Legislature
of West Virginia, on Wednesday, Februa
ry 26th, a sesolution was offered declaring
that in the opinion of the Legislature' the
President was guilty of open and flagrant
violation of the law, and ought to be im
peached, and authorizing the Governor to
tender to Congress assistance in maintain
ing and enforcing the laws of the United
States." " '
... . t
" "President or Kino. "When "swing
ing, round the circle" to Chicago, Premier
Seward used to harrangue the crowd at each
station, asking whether they wanted a
"President or King." Johnson has tried
the "King dodge,"' but it is no go. A
coup d'etat may do for monarchical France,
but Uncle Sam don't believe in anything of
the sort
Mr. "Wallace's Speech.
In the last Clearfield Republican we find Hon.
W. A. Wallace's reply to General Fisher, during
the discussion of the Stanton resolutions in the
State Senate we say lion. IV. A- Wallace's reply
as we cannot stoop to the level of the Republican
and apply such epithets as "nigger" to a respect
able white man. During that debate Mr. Wal
lace had asserted that ' most of the privato sol
diers in the army wero Democrats." Gen. Fisher
denied this declaration of Mr. Wallace, and then
alluded to the opposition of the Democrats to the
war and drafts, and other lawless acts by members
of that party, and then asked, "Who will tell me
that the army was male up of Democrats, and
that Democrats fought the battles ?' At the close
of Gea. Fisher's remarks, Mr. Wallace rose and
addressed the Senate in reply, from which we
make the following extracJs.:
,;Tha reports of your Adjutant General's office
will show that we sent into the field as many sol
diers in proportion to ourpopulation as any other
county in tho Commonwealth, As brave soldiers
as ever went into the Pennsylvania Reserves came
from uy county; many of them wore in the First
Bucktails, tho Fifth Reserves, and the One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth Pennsylvania, or Second
Bucktails. They were nhvays in the advance.
Brave soldiers, all of thciu. True men."
'We were accused of resisting tho draft: Co
lumbia county was accused. "We have forests in
our county ;.we have inaccessible fastnesses, where
the men from Lancaster, and Allegheny, and
Dauphin, and other densely populated counties,
fleeing from the draft sought refugo. . . . Many
Republicans were found in our fastnessci, where
tboy hoped to avoid tho provost marshal."
In these extracts we find two points, or proposi
tions, to which we intend to refer as briefly as
possible: First, Mr. Wallace's attempt to create
the impression that most of the soldiers from this
county were Democrats ; and second, that most of
the deserters that fled int this county for satoty
were Republicans.
Then, r.tt, Were most of tho eoldiers from this
county Democrats, or not?
A reference to the official vote in I SCO and I3S1
shows the following result :
Years
18(50.
1861.
Itep. vote. Dem. vote.
17i5 2040
13G3
1793
Decrease, 339 217
From this it will be seen that the decrease in
tho Republican vote was 142 more than that in
the Democratio, at the first election after the out
break of the rebellion which decrease, no doubt,
was owing to the fact that many more of the for
mer than of tho latter had gone into the army the
decrease being nearly three Republicans to two
Democrats. But the army vote in 1S61 and 1S64,
shows a still greater disparity in numbers:
Office. Rep. vote. Dem. vote
Assembly, M'Enally, 147; arly, 6
Congress, i-cofield, 86; Uigler, 8
President, Lincoln, 13d ? M'C'lellan, 39
We think the above exhibit of tho official vote
of lSdO and 1S61, and more especially the army
vote of 18(51 and 1864, establishes the fact beyond
peradventure, that most of the soldiers from
Clearfield county were not Democrats tho insin
uations of Mr. Wallace to the contrary, 'notwith
standing. Second, Were most of the deserters who fled
into this county for safety Republicans, or not?
Reference being had to the official returns from
1860 to 1864, including the Presidential vote in
the latter year, the following remits appear : .
Years. Dem vote. ' Rep. vote'.
18o0. Curtin. 1755; Foster, 2040
1K61. M:EnaIly, 1SGB; Early, 17:
1862. Cochran, 1315; PUnker, 2167
1863. Curtin. l3l ; Woodward, 2433
1364. bcofield, J2I6; Uigler, 2483
1864. Lincoln, 1371; M Clellan, 2762
This table shows that there waa a gradual de
crease in the Republican vote in the four elections
previous to that of President in 1864, except in
1863, when the soldiers were permitted to come
homo and vote, in conseqnence of the decision of
Judge Woodward that they had no right to vote in
the army while, on the other hand, itsbows that
the Democratic vote increased largely during the
same years. And further, the same figures show
the relative increase of the vote in the two par
ties (from that of Assembly in 1861 , the first year
of the rebellion, to that of President jn 1854, the
last election before the close of the war) to be as
follows:
Years. Rep. vote. Dem. vote,
lhol. M'Emlly, 13fi6; Early, 1793
1S64. ' Lincoln, - 1371; M'C'lellan, 2762
Increase, 5; 9G9
Now, it is evident that Mr.. Wallace, in tho quo
tation from his rpeech given above, intends to
convey the impression that a large proportion, if
not a majority, of the deserters who "sought ref
uge in our fastnesses." wero Republicans from
the counties of ''Lancaster, and Allegheny, and
Duuphin." Does the vote cast in the county show
this to bo a fact ? By no means ! But the . reverse
is the fact they were Democrats.
But, for illustration, let us corcede that there
were some Republican deserters among them, then,
the tjucstion would bo, how many ? The last ta
b:e given chows a Republican increase from 1861
to 1864 of but 5 votes and a Democratic incrcaso
of 969 votes which increase, no doubt, wi.3 main
ly owing to the floeing hither of deserters in the
hope '-to avoid the provost marshal," as Mr. Wal
lace says. It is clear then, if the largo increase
in the vote in tho county in 1864 was the result of
this influx of deserters, that only Jive of those de
serters could possibly have been Republicans and
voted for Mr. Lincoln, while nine hundred and
sixty-nine of them were Democrats and voted for
Gen. M'Clollan and the whole Democratic ticket.
But, we do not assume to say' 'that tho whole
of tho increased voto was tho result of an influx
of deserters. Not at all A portion thereof
is attributable to natural increase in popula
tion; but, as to the per ccntago, we leave oth
ers ro say. V e do, however, assert that not a sin
gle deserter who voted for M'ClclIan was a Repub
lican. No; not ono '. All were Democratic draft
sneaks, beyond the possibility of a doubt! And
we challenge the proof to the contrary.
Sucli beiag the facts in the case, it is really sur
prising to us, that Mr. Wallace should so far for
get his usual discreetness as to resort to such pal
pable prevarications, as are contained in his
speccb.to screen his party friends from the just
odium that attaches to them for their opposition
to the war and the draft, in 1864. And it would
not surprise us any the less, in the future, to find
him d6nying that he was represented in tho Union
iirmy by a substitute, and that that substitute was
a negro, as is alleged and also, that about 275
other Democrats In this county were represented
by "nigger" substitutes in the army, in 1864.
But, in conclusion, we would juat say, that we
agree with Mr. Wallace that the men who went
from this county were of the bravest of the brave
"they were always in the advance," and always
left their marks on the rebel ranks. That many
of them were Democrats wbdn they went out,
stood by the Union in its sorest need, and are still
the firm friends of that Union, is a faot ; but it i ,
equally true, most of them now vote the Republi
can ticket. And finally, let the reader scan the
figures above presented from the official returns,
and if he can come to any other conclusion than
that at which we have arrived, we certainly aro
very much mistaken. The Democrats are wel
come to all the draft deserters, for they are of
that party. The Republicans never had aijy of
them. and. in the language of the niaa that eat
the crow, they have no ' hankering" for themtiow.
.
Articles of Impeachment.
The Select Committee submitted to the
House, on Saturday, ten Articles of Im
peachment, which substantially impeach the
President on the following charges:
1st. That he unlawfully and unconstitu
tionally, on the 21 .st ol February, removed
Secretary Stanton from the War Oifice. This
article then proceeds, specifically stating the
suspension of August 12th, his report of
such suspension, with his reasons therefor,
to the Senate, December 12th, theuoncon
currence of the Senate in the sufficiency of
such reasons, January 13th, the immediate
re-intatement of the Secretary which fol
lowed, and his absolute removal with the
appointment of Thomas as his successor ad
interim February 21st, the same being with
the intent by the President to violate the
Tenure of OiHce Act.
2nd. That, on the 21st of February, lie
unlawfully and unconstitutionally appointed
said Thomas as Secretary ad. interim.
3rd. Substantially repeats the charge in
the second Article, with the added specifica
tion that he had appointed Thomas, no va
cancy existing at the time, and without the
advice and consent of the Senate, which was
then in Session.
4th. That, on the 21st of February, he
conspired with said Thomas and other per
sons unknown, in violation of the Conspira
cy Act of July 31st, 18G1, with the intent
to intimidate the Secretary of War, and by
threats to hinder and prevent him from
holding the oCice to which he was legally
entitled. fc
5th. That, on the 21st of February, and
at other times prior to the 28th of Februa
ry, he conspired with said Thomas and other
persons to prevent and hinder the execution
of the Tenure of Otjicc Act, and specifying
the attempt to prevent Secretary Stanton
from holding his office according to law.
6th. That, on the 21st of February, he
conspired with said Thomas to seize, take
and possess the property of the United States
in the War Department, contrary to the
provisions of the Conspiracy Act of 1861,
and cf the Tenure of Oifice Act of March,
1867.
7th. That he had, on the 21st of Februa
ry and other days, conspired with said Thom
as to prevent and hinder the execution of
the Tenure of Office Act specifying the at
tempt to prevent Secretary Stanton from
holding the office to which he was lawfully
entitled. -
.8th. That, on tha 21st of February, he
conspired with said Thomas to seize, take
and possess the public property in the War
Depaitment, with intent to violate and dis
regard the Tenure of Office Act.
9th. That, on the 21st dayrf Februarv,
he appointed Thomas to be Secretary ad
interim, there being then do vacancy, the
benate beinu in session and without its ad
vice and consent, with the intent unlawfully
to control the disbursements of moneys ap
propriated tor expenditures in that Depart
ment. -
10th. That on the 22d of Februarv, he at
tempted to corrupt the official integrity of
tren. .kiiiorj', the commander of the Denart-
U13QI oi asiiington, with the intent to in
stigate said Emory, in his official acts as
such Commander, to violate the appropria
tion law of March 2d, 1867, by disregarding
the section thereof which directs that all
military orders or instructions shall be is
sued through the General of the army' only.
Each of l hose articles expressly includes
the - charge that in the offences therein al
leged, the President committed and was
guilty of a Vhih misdemeanor" in office;
except on the 4th and 6th articles charging
him with violations of the Conspiracy Act of
1SG1, expressly declare that his offences
therein are ilhigh crime."
These articles arraign the President for
the violation of three duly enacted laws of
the United State?, viz : the Conspiracy Act
of July -31st, 1861, the appropriation Act
of March 2d, 1867, and the Tenure of Office
A :t, also of the latter date; for the viola
tion, in each specification cf the articles, of
his oath of office, and as to the 1st, 2d, 3d,
4th and 10th articles, violations of the Con
stitution. '
Eobert J. "Walker on the Law,
Hon. Robert J.' Wa!ker-a 'Democrat'
who was Secretary of the Treasury under
President Polk, and is a member of the
Democratic party in good standing still, and
who, moreover, stands high in the confi
dence of the party, and is learned in Consti
tutional law, volunteered an 'opinion' dur
ing the recent crisis at Washington, to John
son's ad inter fin Secretary Thomas, which
doubtless had much to do in preventing him
from em ploying force to obtain possession of
the War Office. Mr. Walker says :
"I called,' -upon Gen. Thomas early on Satui
day morning. at the War Office, and communicated
to him in a friendly way my opinion that any
such order would be a nullity, and would subject
him to serious consequences, especially if any
such collision should occur. I told him that he
had no right, nor had the President, to disobey a
law of Congress upon the assumption that it was
unconstitutional , and that if this mere not so the
President might set aside all the laws of Congress
since the foundation of the. Government upon the
ground that they were unconstitutional. That
tho President possessed no such power, because it
was not an executive, but exclusive by a judicial
power, and that all the laws of Congress must be
obeyed and executed by the President unlesa their
execution was restraiued by the highest judicial
authority. That to declarea law unconstitution
al was Jnotonlj the exercise of judicial power, but
the highest judicial power, and only to be resorted
to by the courts where, in their judgment, the act
was clearly unconstitutional, and that in all
doubtful cases the court had uniformly refused to
interfere with the execution of the law." '
Here i3 a lucid 'statement of the case'
presented in a nut-shell, which all can un
derstand. No wonder "Lorenzo the bold,"
heaitated about calling out Grandfather
Welles' Marines to storm the 'War Office,'
after hearing this unanswerable argument.

A Rebuke to a Traitor President
The hero of many battles, Gen. George II. I
Thomas, declines the empty honors attemp
ted to be thrust upon him by a degenerate
President, in the following emphatic lan
guage, which c:innot be misunderstood, viz :
Louisville, Ky.,' Feb. 23 2 p. m., 1868.
Hon. 13 F. Wade, President of the Senate:
The morning papers of Louisville announce.
officially that my name was yesterday sent
to the benate lor confirmation as .Brevet
Lieutenant General and General. I was
appointed a Major General of the United
States Army for services at the battle of
iNashviile. My services since then do not
merit so high a compliment, and it is now
too late to be regarded as a compliment,' if
conferred for services during the war. 1.
therefore, earnestly request that the Senate
will not confirm the nomination.
(Signed) George II. Thomas,
Major General.
Will there be War? Although here
and there a few blatant Copperheads have
threatened a resort to war if the President
is deposed by the Senate, there is very little
danger of any such result. On the contra
ry the removal of Andrew Johnson, the
great obstructionist, is sure to result in
peace to the country, and the speedy recon
struction of all the late insurgent States.
As soon as the pestilent agitator is out of
the way agitation will cease, confidence will
be restored and business in all branches of
industry will brighten up. The brightest
day for the country since the Rebel surren
der at Appomattox, will be the day the
Traitor President is turned out of the
White 'House. "
Whiskey and Copperheads. In Phil
adelphia on the reception of the news of the
decisive action of Congress, some deeply
exasperated Democrats held a meeting in
one of the wards. So full of whiskey and
fight were they, that they resolved to sus
tain the President with their muskets, and
proposed to adjourn to the depot, armed and
equipped ; but before this could be carried
into execution they got into a tight among
themselves, which caused Andrew Johnson
to be quite forgotten, and the meeting broke
up in a row.
On the day of Mr. Stanton's re-instate-ment
in the War office by the Senate, he
drafted a letter of resignation, intcnding.af-
ter three or tour days of quiet possession of
the omce, to forward this letter to the Pres
ident. That it was not so sent was solely
in consequence of the actively hostile atti
tude which the President instantly assum
ed, and which in fact forbade the Secretary
to make any personal concessions whatever.
