':, We therefore invite our reader to a care ful perusal of the article,' published in this I3sue, entitled "Congress Shall Radicalism Triumph," &o.,from the Lycoming Gazette, "and, if we have been ; rightly educated in Democracy, we must e&y, that this article is worthy the attention and careful considera tion of the Democratic party of this County and District, at thi3 time. , As is stated in that article, "the great danger surrounding the Democratic party at present, is a dispo titlon of some to affiliate with the fishy, and disaffected Radicals." VYe have written ar ticle after article, on this subject of John o joking the Democracy ; and, inasmuch as we hare been charged with selfishness, and from those whom, we regret to say, we least , thought it, such as regarding our own inter ests solely, we deem it right and proper that we give in our columns, from time to time, the opinions of the Democratic press of the ' country. There appears to be such a deter mination and unanimity to adhere strictly and firmly to the principles of the Democ racy at this time, as has rarely, if ever, be fore been known.

Does the Committee appointed to take care of the Orphan Children of this District, know anything concerning their present care and treatment, at the Academy in Orange ville, under the supervision of Prof. Walker? The above question is asked by one who feels a special interest in the welfare of the pupils referred too. We have heard com plaints from that quarter. How is it? Mon tour American. '.: We have also been frequency questioned as to the Btate of this school, and we have also been informed, by good authority, that the children at this Academy are in a most wretched condition! We have letters now on file in our office, from citizens of that place, - which would have been published ere this, ' had we not Been signs of immediately improving their arrangements and mode of living. Let the matter be attended to at once, and if the fault 13 with those having charge of the school, let theia be exposed and removed. We refrain from censuring anyone too read ily; but, from current reports we deem it really important that some action should be taken in the matter.

State th ...3 The Proposed Conrention. The lat call for a National" Convention, at Philadelphia, ly Conservative is an ad mission by the Johnsou men that something ought to be cone; yet; they da not pretend that anything will be done. The Convention id not a nominating one, It is not to deliber ate on a platform of principles, it is not to demonstrate numbers, for these reasons : '" i3t. No national officers are to be elected at this time. ; . ' 2nd. Their platform of principles, upon whicFclelegates are to be admitted are al ready laid down. "3rdrThe Hslegates are to" be elected by no" well-defined constituencies. Therefore we consider it useless, harmless and un-business-like. We cannot see that anybody is to be enlightened, or any authen tic information gained, It will be of no in terest to Democrats to participate, or in any way endorse the call, for it is universally known, that every Democrat -favors the im mediate restoration of the Union. 'It is eanally certain that the Southern people, without distinction to party, favor the same. The Democratic party of the North and the citizens of the" South endorse the platform of principles, which are laid down for this convention.and always have held to the same patriotic views, and if this Convention goes outside of the . Democratic platform it will go to ruin. It may live for a while as it is living now upon a small portion of the prin ciples of the Democratic party, but they can not draw the Radicals; from thcr Eectional course and cause, neither can they J ohnson- ize the Democratic party anything short of , the Democratic platform. No movement out side of this will be tolerated by Democrats Hear what the New York World, as well as all other good Democratic journals, has to gay about the matter : . " About men, nothing is doubtful but the sentimentSjthe numbers,and the future course of the conservative Republicans. .The pro- Ksed convention cannot certify their num rs, nor is it probable that it will have suf ficent courage to declare that they will, if necessary, act with the irreat nartv which is uneouivocallvcommittedto the policy of the President. . The convention will be simply a large public meeting; but different from an or dinary public meeting in the &ct that its num bers will prove nothing. A local mass meet ing proves that the sentiments which pervade it have many adherents in that locality. But a convention of delegates self-elected, or elec ted nobody knows by whom, must derive its whole importance from the personal weight oi its members. - Jiut as they are to meet neither to transact business, nor to define principles, it is difficult to see what thevwill find to do when they get together. It is futile to say that they are wanted to Bwell the voice of public sentiment. Ex cepting the conservative Republicans, the sentiments of the whole country have been , already pronounced, and how many conser vative Republicans there are in the Territo ries cannot be -ascertained by this method, even if it were of any political consequence. The invitation addressed to the Southern States signifies quite as little. Until there is apolitical revolutionin the North, the South ern States are practically in the same condi tion as the Territories. They count for noth ing so long as the members they elect to Congress are excluded. The only way in which ; the Southern States can accom plish anything in national politics, at present, is by concerted and unanimous action among themselves. ; If there were any difference of opinion (which there is not) in that section in respect to the Constitutional Amendment, a Southern convention for mutual consulta tion would bo fit and seasonable. The inten tion of the Radicals Is to create a party in the South who will prefer to purchase admis sion by ratifying the amendment.' As there is no such party there yet, no concentration is needed to defeat it. The South, by united action,can preserve the Constitution as it is ; which they will do on the same principle that a creditor keeps fast hold of the notos of a sol vent debtor, refusing to compromise what he can legally claim and expects ultimately to collect. In this view, the South can be of the greatest service, and it will no doubt be true to its own interests. But other partici pation in national politics it can have none ; and there is no reason why it should go into a national convention with men who stand with one foot on the Republican platform, and seek advice as to whether it is expedient to leave it.. There is no reason why Democrats should go to this convention, for their principles are known perfectly, and their numbers as near ly as is possible by any other means than the next election returns. There is no need of the South going to the convention to prove either their indorsement of the President's policy, or the futility of that indorsement so long as thev are kept in the condition of Ter ritories. .The coming battle is to be decided in the North, and in the North nobody's po sition is doubtful except that of the conser vative Republicans. If the convention they have called shall commit them unequivocal ly to the policy of the President, shall sepa rate them irrevocably from the main body of their party, and shall make them willing to cast their votes where they will be most ef- iecuve in aeieauug ine iiaaicais, it wui naye accomplished some good. But we do not seo how its action is to commit anybody bcisides tnose wno participate in it. . Geary's Brutality. The Trve Democrat, a paper sailing under false colors, and set up by two strangers in this community, not satisfied with advoca ting the most degraded negrocracy and dis union principles, or fighting like the Kilken ny cats with its kind, meanly and cowardly tries to defame, behind their backs, men born here. A gentleman of the highest re spectability visited York, his native place, last week, after an absence of 49 years. ' He was cordiaDy received by his numerous rela tives and old acquaintances. But as he came from Virginia, the malignant Yankee editors ' of this libellous" sheet makes a foul and false- attack upon him. The . cause of this 'attack upon Mr.. Peter Hartman was, that.while in company with his friends, he related as a part of Ma experience of John W. Geary, the following incident, which is not very creditable to the Disunion candidate for Governor : ? r . . r . . , , ! 'Gen. Geary, while in command in the neighborhood of Mr. Hartman's place, in Virginia entered upon it, took his cattle and his sheep, destroyed his fences and burned his barn. Mr- llartman knowing the Gen eral, being ,- both Pennsylvaniansr and we might almost ear, neighbors,- approached him, and expostulated with him r "General, how ia this? . What have-1 done?" To which Geary insolently replied: "Ask mo no questions, ar,V. and wantonly and wilfully allowed the destruction and . depredation to continue." ...... We submit to the people cf this" commu- luty whether '"Mf, Hartman or John Wv Gearr,j3.";mos entitled to their oonsidera York Prasr ' "' ' ' -'- Our Fourth of July Speech. - As this great daj-of Jubilib drew near, the question with us was, how is it tq be ob served?; And as wij thought the observance of this anniversary jehould never be permit ted to pass without the most" enthusiastic h outpouring of true-hearted American patri otism, we, without invitation or audienoei concluded to deliver a national address. We thought in this wise : The birth-day of our national existence it, at hand. The anniver sary, of the fifty-sir "solid men," of this continent, .lifting. Great Britain, is here-7 The recollections of the labors which brought forth our glorious Union returns and how shall We solemnize this memorable epoch in the history of America? How ehall we re new those remembrances and more firmly impress them Upon our hearts? The thought struck us, we will make a speech. True, nobody asked us to make one; but, since Lincoln's death nobody attempts to pre vent us; hence, with the walls of our sanc tum for an audience, and a good deal em barrassed by their dull looks, and imaginary inattention, we spoke as follows : With a recognizing bow, we said: - "Walls, Casks and Chairs: The pa triotic heart of the Union has never been so stirred a3 now. Ijiki a powerful man in his strength, the Union has been struck down. Under Democratic rule it was the admira tion and envy of the nations of the earth. But the Abolitionutii have destroyed it. Four years of Abolition rule did for Amer ica what ei.eht hundred years of blood and slaughter did in a loss decree in the Old World. They have corrupted the morala of the people. - 1 "hey have financially ruined us as a nation. They hw"5 declared that the people shall not govcri themselvt s. They huve prevented the real old-fathioned Fourth of July celebrations. They have discarded that noble principle so eminently Aiucricsui, "No taxation with out representation. " They have murdered liberty. . " . They have established tj ranny. ' They have trampled under foot the laws of God. They have assumed all the rights belong ing to the people. .They disregard the Dec laration of Independence, which we used to descant on so beautifully and eloquently, and which we used to read with much gusto, especially those clauses that declare that "All just governments rest upon the consent of the jroverned," that, the people can throw off a government and institute a new one more in harmony with their feelings and interests. How do these things stand, in your opinion, now? What can we say about these principles now? What country will wc refer to, to give practical illustrations of tyranny now ? What has become of the classical allusions about the tyrants of Greece and Rome about down-trodden Poland, Hungary, Italy and Ireland about Nero, Claudius, and Georga the Third. We can now only use them as excellent principles, but not binding upon us. We can now only refer to tyrants with a fresh appreciation in our Stantons, Bcvlers, McNiels and Milroys, and our own diversion from the sacred purposes of war cannot be equalled by the desecrations of the Old World. But, thank Heaven, the Democracy al ways protested against the events which lead to these melancholy results. They have had no hand in sacrificing liberty; in the hypocritical assasimttion of freedom and in the destruction of our noble Constitution. No, saddened and sorrow, in feeling as they are, when those fond memories throng around them, the Democrats can pay with a clear conscience tha they are not guilty, and we wncerely hope that ere another Focrth ?hall come around we will be able to blot out all but the recollection, and that hereafter, as heretofore, under Democratic administrations, the Fourth will be a prac tical institution." 1 In this view, and in this spirit, we thanked God tfiat we were alone in our office medi tating on the beautis of ancient Fourth of July celebrations ; and not out playing hyp ocrite iu attempting to make impartial na tional addresses. Mfy our Northern people learn, before it shall bo too late, that the samespirit that resisted oppression at that early and memorable period, still animates the American people, even if that heroic war has been in vain, and those who were then the oppressed have become 'the op pressors. . Odious as was the stamp act to the Colonies of New England, it was not so odious or half so oppressive as the aggres sive and burdensome policy of the Radicals is to the American- people at the present day. History proves that the British people committed an error when they enforced "tax ation without representation," and we hope the Disunionists in this emergency will seek to avoid the same nistake. The above is our speech precisely as it was delivered in our tanctum. Who objects? Clymer Soldiers' Convention. , Not having space Li our paper this week for the entire proceedings of the .Soldiers' meeting at Harrifburg, on Thursday last; we will publish the following editorial, on the subject, from the- Patriot and Unum, that our readers, may get some idea of the interest made manifest by the soldiers who are opposed to the radical measures of Con gress and the election of the Slwddy candi date for Governor, Jchn W. Geary; About oue hundred and fifty officers and soldiers from every section and almost every county of the State held a preliminary or in formal toeeting at the Democratic Club Rooms, in this city, yesterday. Among the number present wen j Brevet Brig. Gen. Matthews, Brig. Gen. M'Candless, Gen. Sweitzer, Gen. Davis, Col. Linton, Col. Witman. Col. Maish, Col. Ent, CoL Awl, CoL Lyle, Col. Leech, Col.

It was resolved to hold1 a Democratic Sol diers' State Convention on the first of Au gust next, io Harrisbnrg, to be composed of seven delegates from ith county in the Commonwealth.- A committee was appointed to make the neccessary a rrangements. In an other column will be found a detailed report of the proceedings. ' '- The indication are " that the Convention will be a grand success,.

Let every effort now be made to have every county ia the State rejTesented on, the first of -'ABsraat,. ' . '. ""' . - " ..- Congress Shall Radicalism Tri umph in this District T ji We have every reason to believe that nine tenths of the Democracy in thiB Congression al District are determined to make a,straight out fight with the disunionists in the pending political canvass. Why not? If Democrat ic principles are those of the Constitution, why seek to add other interests thereto ? All who sincerely desire the restoration of States, the obliteration of- bitter feelings created by cruel war; "and a re-union founded upon the f)lain doctrine that characterize a free repub ican government, will not hesitate to fall in fine and march against the common enemies of republican institutions under lead of a Democrat whose record is in keeping with the doctrines of the time-honored organiza tion.' . No true upholder of the President's reconstruction policy will occupy a neutral position when the issue is narrowed down be tween a radical disunionist and a Democrat who supports, from principle, every political effort tending to make one people of the di vided interests that Stevens & Co. would al low to eat up our substance, thereby retrench political power that alone gains the admira tion and respect of nations beyond the waters. - The salvation of our country from Aboli tion misrule depends upon the restoration of the Democratic party to power. "Policy men" have been tried and found wanting, when the real test hour came. Not a sinfjle independent mender of Congress, elected by the direct influence of Democrat, since the radicals have Jicld sicay, Juis regarded the wishes of his constituents. Will we, then, in face of this state of things, withdraw our claims and help place men at Washington who will do all in their power to urereon the juggernatorial car that has well nigh crushed out the hic-blood ot the nation I Will we marshal our force? and endeavor to convince the honest and unwary that it is policy to pursue such a line of action ? We trust that the unfortunate experience of the past will prove salutary in the subsequent workings of those who tako the lead of the veteran soldiers in the Democratic ranks. With the Jacksonian motto, "we go where Democrat ic principles point the way, when they cease to lead, then cease to follow." We can urge on the column against those marching under the black flag, and overpower and scatter in every direction their forces. Democrats, wake up ! and show the proud enemy that boasts in its strength, that there is a powr left in the land capable of restoring the lost ark of the covenant to its place. ,The time fur action is note, and it behooves every friend of wholesome legislation, to gird on his ar mor for the contest Do not allow the cun ning stragctic movements of the enemy to draw you in ambush. Lost to all sense of shame, bent alone on retaining power, the disunionists are willing to resort to any scheme that promises success, no matter whether it is in keeping with correct princi ples or not At the hobby of the arch-traitor, Stevens, they are ready at a moment's notice to compromise, rather than give the friends of a restored Union the least ad vantage. The great danger surrounding the Democratic party at present, is a dispo sition with some to affiliate with the "fishy" and disaffected members of the radicals, in hope of gaining a half-way victory. If they could be trusted there might be some argu ment favoring such a demand ; but they can not. We are willing to support any man of character, for Congress; no matter what his political antecedents have been, provided he endorses the principles of the Democratic party, and is a supporter of Hiester Clymer and the Democratic district and county tick ets. Is this asking too much ? What favors can the supporters of Johnson expect from a radical Congress? Where is the man who will say that that body favors an indepen dent that does not crawlatthwirfect ? Nieh men, during our troubles, have heretofore acted with the radicals as tool.-?, in every emergency. We feel confident that the true friends of restoration are determined to contend for success upon a clearly defined statement of principles, and not trust a man who refuses to speak out in favor of sound doctrines,and against any infringement that a disunion Congress would make upon the Constitution.- Democrats, remain firm, and you will triumph. We would rather be defeated with our flag flying over our heads than gain a neutral victory, over the enemy. A triumph at the expense of principles is not worth the effort. Lycoming (lazt tte. His Position. If Gov. Curtin favors "my policy, crossly misunderstood at his home he If it were believed that he endorsed, "my policy" he would not have left in Belle fonto a dozen friends in the Republican party. We know Mr. Curtin. . Ueis not a Johnson man. He is in no danger of becoming a Johnson man. While the editors of the disunion organ may know Gov. Curtin better than we do, yet they know as well as he that he is a Johnson man, or that he favors the policy of the President, in preference to that of the negro suffrage advocates Stevens and Sum ner. They know that some eight weeks since when Gov. Curtin was visiting his friends in this place that he stated positively and plain ly tli3t he was a Johnson man. They know that he told the associate editorof that paper in the office of W. P. Wilson, Esq. , that it was Stevens and Sumner and the radical fac tion of that party, who were keping our coun try in a stateof excitement and that if it was not for them, we could have peace and union any day. They know that one half of their arty bitterly denounced him for the position le took, while the other half justas warmly supported him. . . While if is of little importance who or 'what Gov. Curtin supports, as his support has no more stability about it than has the osition of a weather-cock, yet it is well enough to show up the contemptible lies to which abolitionism will resort, in order to leave the public under the impression that harmony and good feelings prevail within the ranks of their party. For the assertions we have here made, wc arc responsible, and are prepared to prove them any day. Dare the editors of the Press deny them ? Democratic Watchman. Drowned. Two young men named John AV. Leighow, of Milton, and Samuel Rank, of New Columbia, were drowned in the West Branch week before last. They were out sailing and ran upon some rocks, when the boat filled with water. In alarm they left the boat ; Rank not being able to swim, sank immediately : Leighow swam some consider able distance, but overcome with exhaustion sank, crying out "Good bye," to his com panion, Brown, who was the other party in the boat, aud who reached the shore, though in a very exhausted condition. The bodies were not recovered till the next morning. Jersey Shore Iltrald. Col. J. P. Litton. The Democracy of Cambria, at their county convention on the 27th. nominated Lt Colonel John P. Linton for the Assembly, to- succeed Hon. Cyrus. L. Pershing. ,The Colonel's nomination (which is equivalent to election) is not a mere rec ompense for his defeat last Fall for Surveyor General v through the 'ingratitude of the self styled "soldiers' friend" but it is mainly due to his integrity, energy of character and ability. Mr; Pershing", who has so long and ably represented the county, declined being fl candidate.: For Congress the- same con vention selected Robert L. Johnson Esq., a sterling" Democrat and able lawycr-subject to the approval of the 17th district confer-cvtn.- Patriot and Union. National Johnson Conrention. The National Executive Committee of the Union Clubj'jof which Senators DoQUTTLE and Cowan are members, has issued a call for: the holding of a National Convention, of the friends of President Johxson, in Phil adelphia, on August the 14th 1866. Thcr low Weed and Raymond are also prime movers in this. Convention. The object is to have at least two delegates from each Con gressional District of all the States, two from each Territory, two from the District of Co lumbia, and four delegates at large from each State. Such delegates to be chosen by tho electors of the several States who sustain the present Administration. - k We sincerely hope that this JonNSON movement may find supporters from the Radical, Disunion party and gather sufficient strength from thcir ranks to make them a respectable and influential organization. We have carefully examined the several propo sitions of the call for the Convention, to which all who take seats in that body are required to agree, and find that they are all already embodied in the platform of the National Democratic party. Therefore, while the Democratic party embodies in their plat form of principles all the good qualities of the Conservatives, besides twice as many more, and of still greater importance, it would be folly, if not insanity, for a single Democrat to be found wandering from the great ship of Democracy to the small bark of Conservatism. But thus far, those who are connected with the movement are from the right source ; they arc from the Radical party, a fountain which needs purifying and we have only to say to those patriots who are engaged in this good work of renovating and cleansing the Abolition-Disunion party, to go on and if they shall become exposed to dangers winch they cannot withstand, by still enlarging their platform, enlightening their minds, and extending their sympathies, they can retreat with perfect safety into the ranks of the Democracy and take shelter in her noble ship. Taken Unawares. The Radicals of this place express surprise at the action of the United States Senate, unanimously confirming the lately appointed Revenue Assessor of this District ; knowing that, in politics, he has always been . all things, to all men, and of late, the ppecial tool of Curtin and Cameron, and considering his late travels among the Republican poli ticians, and his frequent visits to Washing ton city, pulling at one time at this end of the Avenue, and another time at that, and with Curtin and Cameron at his back insist ing upon his confirmation, we think there Ls nothing wonderful about it. The truth is, Mr. Clark was the choice of the Disunion party for Revenue Assessor at the time Dr. John received the appointment, and had the Doctor been as wise, as he was greedy, he would never have allowed Con gressman Mercur to have his objectionable self laid upon the people of this District. The true representatives of the Republican part- never had any hand in tho matter of appointment until now. There is also another office in this town, which the influential Republicans claim, and have claimed ever since Lincoln's re-election. They also contend that this latter office was filled contrary to the wishes of the leading Republicans of this place, through the influ ence of Mr.- Mercur and the selfishness of the Republican newspaper of the town. Now, as they claim, this much abused fac tion of Republicanism have got an organ of their oavh ; and having gained tho confidence of the President, and the Postmaster Gen eral, with the aid of the United States Sen ators of Pennsylvania, it is a foregone con clusion that the offices shall be filled by men the most worthy. Can't Come Down. From what we are able to learn from our exchanges, from foreign countries, and from the prophecies of persons who possess pecu liar facilities for arriving at correct conclu sions as to the value of agricultural products in future, wo arc inclined to lclievc, most decidedly, that prices will be enhanced. We give below the opinion of Mr. W. II. Langly, of Ohio, who has taken great pains to inves tigate the matter. He says : The grain crop will not exceed one-third the average of former years, and he predicts that we shall have the highest prices of breadstuff and many other products of the soil and necessaries of life, for one or two vears, that we have seen. The cotton crop has also suffered very severely during the Spring and the present anticipations arc that the produce will not be of more than a million and a quarter of bales, or less than one-fourth the product of the crop of It is, therefore, evident that we shall have no grain that we can spare for exportation, and that our exports of cotton must be but limited, lt Is not at all uncertain but that of the former we may have to become im porters, if the wants of the people are to be fully supplied ; for there will be no old stock to fall back upon. It is fallacious to suppose that the' European war will tend to any large quantity of specie being sent to this country for investment in our securities. Should hostilities become general throughout Germany, it is more than probable that many of our five-twenties, which have been purchased by the Germans will find their way back to the United States. As our own people too well know, the tramp of armies is not beneficial to the production of the necessaries of life. Germany will have to purchase these abroad wherewith to feed her army and her people. She will have to pay in gold, for foreigners will not take her paper securities. Our own short supply of grain will preclude us from send ing her any; and consequently wc may expect that she will send to us for gold in exchange for the United States securities which she holds. But some persons - may ask: "Will the German people part with those securities for the purpose of investing the proceeds in the? obligations of their own governments, and thus supplv them with the specie they will need? We all know that when a country is at war, the patriotism of its people generally tends to such a result. Such was the effect, both North and South, during our late struggle, and there is no rea son to believe that the Germans will not be influenced by a like patriotic impulse. Everything, thca, points to an advance in prices. The prospects of the future are cer tainly gloomy,- but there is no good in shut ting -ur eyes to them. We must prepare to meet tfes hard times when they arrive. An other year Will have to roB round before we can-hope to-view a brighter picture, and to do so then we must experience a more genial season than has been allotted to us in the present year.
