.. . Deny it if you Can.
The editor of the Republican constantly
fcoatts of the vmty and strength of his par
ty, and complains that we are trying to "de
ceive honest Democrats," by insisting that
from the disaffection in the ranks of the
Radicals Clymer will be elected. Hear what
he say3 in his last about the condition of his
party ; . t .
Never before was the Union party as
Ftrong as it is to-day. riot oniy has it car
ried all the recent elections, but it has extor
ted from the Copperhead organs the admis
sion tuat tne eitort to Dreait its lines nas Dcen
a ridiculous failure."
We admit that a small portion will believe
him, both in reference to the unity of his
party, and to our consistency and truthful
ness. Bat we ask him to a careful perusal
of one of the leading Republican papers.
For Instance give us your opinion of the fol
lowing from the New, York Times, of J uly
2nd:
"The Union Party is nottinitcd. The
present condition of the party exhibit strons
and dancerous dissensions rather than har
mony. And in the regular arrangements of
the party no provision has been made tor
dieting tne prevalent opinion in regara 10
questions that have arisen since thelast Pres
idential election as well as since tne election
of the members now in Congress.
On the principle that that should be hidden
which is not pleasant, and that that which
we would fain not believe should be conceal
ed, perhaps, there is gross wrong in these
confessions touching the position of the Union
Party. It may perchance bo criminal to dis
turb the hosannas of those who cry peace
when there is no peace, and who write about
the party as though no difference of opinion
existed m its ranks. But weconfess our in
ability to discover either wisdom or honcstv
in this course. Disguise it as we may, the
unpleasant fact does not admit of mistake.
The Union Party is divided so divided and
distracted that its defeat will be inevitable
unless something be meanwhile done to de
termine authoritatively its course on the ques
tion of restoration, its conditions and conse
quences. Ignore the fact if you will. Gild
it and sugar-coat it if you please. But fact
it is, and la our judgment it should be met
frankly, fearlessly, and at once.
, The National Convention.
"We refused, for awhile, to endorse the
call for a National Union Convention at
Philadelphia, on the 14th of next month,
fearing that it would only prove but another
tisan interest by practicing deception upon
the masses. At present writing we feel en
tirely willing to dismiss all such suspicions
and enter hopefully into the contemplated
movement. Let them meet in council for
tho well-being of the whole land. It will
; etreegthen the Democracy it will entomb
Radicalism. No one need apprehend that
it requires the disbanding of the Democratic
party. j.o mat we would never consent it
cannot in any way bind or restrain the free
action of the Democratic party. It can only
run parallel with it. We hope, and insist,
that it shall receive its support from the
Radical party. This is the only way in which
it can benefit the country and the Democra
cy. ..We think the address, published in
this issue, from the Democratic members of
Congress, gives us a guarantee of the good
faith and honesty of the proposed Conven
tion. Still, the New York Times, persis
tently claims that it is to be held as a means
of "nationalizing the Republican party."
If it shall win support from the Radicalssuf
ficient to make it a valuable ally, the Demo
cratic party will greet it as a sister organiza
tion, or as a tributary, flowing towards, and
into, the great ocean of Democracy.
S3F We call attention of our Democratic
frieDds, and especially those who have lately
been so earnestly solicited to join thu John
Eon party, to the article published in this h
tue, entitled, "Disband the Democracy,"
from the pen of Beick PojiEitor. This is
the unanimous sentiment of the leading
spirits of the Democratic party.
We have from time to time, and shall con
tinue to give the opinion of the leading pol
itical writers and speakers of the country on
this important question. Let it be perused
and digested with care and we feel satisfied
that every Democrat will see the wisdom and
necessity, as we have all along contended, of
sticking firmly to th$ Democracy and to its
principles. -,We fee! sure that all Democrats
' will read the article and say," amen.

New York News, in his last letter sarys :

Llessage of the President;
On the 22d ult the President sent to the
Senate and ITouse of Representatives the
following message, announcing that the Con
stitutional Amendment was transmitted by
the Secretary of State to the tIiirty-six
States of the Union. "At the same time he
desires it to bo understood, that in this min
isterial duty he does not ommit himself to
the approval of the proposed amendment to
the Constitution :
To tJie Senate and House of Represent
atives. , I submit to Congress a report of the Sec
retary of State to whom was referred the
concurrent resolution of the 13th inst. res
pecting a submission of the .Legislatures of
me otaies or an additional articre to me
Constitution of the United States. It will be
seen from this report the Secretary of State
had, on the 16th inst, transmitted to the
governors of the several States certiSed cop
ies of the joint resolution passed on the 1 3th
inst, proposing an amendment to the Con
stitution. Even in ordinary times any ques
tion of amending the Constitution must be
justly regarded as of paramount importance.
mi . " a. xl - a "
mis importance ia atiue present unie en
hanced by the fact that the joint resolution
was not submitted by the two Houses for the
approval of the President and that of the
thirty-six States which Constitute the Union.
Eleven are excluded from representation in
either House of Consress, although with the
single exception of Texas, they have been
entirely restored to all their functions as
States in Txmformity with the organic law of
. XT .
the land, and have appeared at tne nation
al Capital by Senators and Representatives
who have applied for and have been refused
admission to the vacant seats. Nor have
the sovereign people of the nation been aff
orded an opportunity of expressing their
views upon the. important question which
the amendment involves. Grave doubts
therefore may naturally and justly arise as
to whether the action of Coneress is in har
mony with the sentiments of the people, and
whether State Legislatures elected without
reference to such an issue should be called
upon by Coneress to decide respecting the
ratification of the proposed amendment.
Waiving the question as to the constitution
al validity of the proceedings of Congress
upon the joint resolution proposing the
amendment, or as to the merits of the arti
cle which it submits through the Executive
Department to the Legislatures ot thebtates,
I deem it proper to state that the steps ta
ken by the Secretary of State, as detailed in
the accompanying report, are to be consider
-1 1 . t
ea as purely ministerial, and in no sense
whatever committing the Executive to an
approval or a recommendation of the amend
ment to the State Legislatures or the peo
ple.
On the contrary, a proper application of
the letter and spirit ot the Constitution, as
well as of the interests of national order.
harmony and union, and a due deference
for an enlightened public judgement, may at
this time well suggest a doubt whether any
amendment to the Constitution ought to be
Ero posed by Congress and passed upon the
legislatures of the several States for final
decision until after the admission of such loy
al Senators and Representatives of the now
unrepresented States as have been or as may
hereatter be chosen m contormity. with the
Constitution and laws of the United States.

Soldiers Convention.
e have received a call for a State Con
vention of honorably discharged Officers,
Soldiers, and Seamen of Pennsylvania, to be
held at Ilarrisbtirg, on Wednesday, the 1st
day of August, 1866. This call is signed by
over two hundred officers and privates, who
endorse the movement, and who are in favor
of restoring the States lately in rebellion, to
all their constitutional relations with the
Federal Union as they stood before the war
broke out We notice that each county is
entitled to seven delegates to this Convention,
and where a county has more than one Mem
ber in the House of Representatives, such
county will be entitled to seven delegates for
each additional member. The delegates are
to be selected between this and the time of
holding the Convention, by the honorably
discharged Soldiers in the counties respec
tively. We will publish the call in our next,
entire, save the long string of namc3 appen
ded. Due notice will be given for a County
Convention to select Delegates.
The Ass-essorship.
The Devil always uses his servants for a
foot-balL He appears to be poking all his
horns at poor Doctor John, at once. In the
shape of "Disorganizers," he starts an op
position sheet and renders both abolition pa
pers non-selfsustaining. Then, beholdl he
is kicked overboard, by the "loyal" Presi
dent whom he supported, and the very radi
cal traitors in the Senate to whom he had
sold and dedicated his little soul. Then, oh
memory! how basely has he crawled through
mire and dirt ; how lon and persistently has
he lied and ealumniatea in the service of his
party and master. The ambition of the
Disorganizers'first induced them to start
Dr. John in business, that he might do for
them what they were ashamed to do them
selves. His enthusiastic zeal in their behalf,
his squalid poverty, and bis known digut
with the eternal quack-ing of the insulting
ducks of Millville. promised all that the
black heart of an abolitionist could desire.
What short-sightedness ! They forgot that
baseness, like a two-edged sword, might be
turned against them. The Doctor 4 'waxed
fat and kitted." He snapped at the hands
that fed him, and like the negro on horse
back, cheated and contemned those who
placed him there. Hence the sequel; he
must eome down. Coir.
The Fourth at New Colnmbns.
The people began to gather from the sur
rounding country. at an early hour, and
everything wore an air of cheerful nesSj
notwithstanding the indications of rain. By
10 o'clock, the Sunday Schools had arrived,
when the procession was formed at the 3L
E. Church, and marched to the Grove east
of the village.
The banners were neatly made, and bore
appropriate mottoes. The Stars and Stripes
shone more brightly than ever.
At the Grove, the Rev. Dr. Bltss, of the
Lewisburg University, opened with prayer.
The Declaration of Independence was read
by J. K. BOGART, of New Columbus, after
which Prof. Axdzrsox, of New Jersey, was
introduced as the orator of the day, and by
the time he had well commenced, a storm
cametrp, when everybody "double quicked"
to a place of shelter. As large a number as
could well be sheltered repaired to the Acad
emy, where the programme for the day was
carried through- Sunday School addresses
were made bt Prof. Fckman, the present
Principal of the School, and R. IL Pzaler,
Esq., of Bloomsburgx R. J. Bell, Esq.,
of Wilkesbarre, delivered an address on the
necessary requisites to oar prosperity and
Eerpetuity a3 a Republic. Dr. Bliss fol
iwed with a very appropriate closing speech.
Everything went off quietly, and the peo
ple started for their homes about 5 o'clock,
and I venture to pay, rejoicing that they had1
participated in celebrating the ninetieth an
niversary of cur independence.

Read ! Read !!
Read the following article from the Eve
ning Iost a"RepubIican paper, edited by
William Ctjllen Bf ant, ahd until very
recently a Radical ahd a firrtt supporter of
the Rump Congress. Read what he says in
this article, entitled :
Imprudence or tne Prohibitionists.
The majority irt Congress are, uncter the
dictation of Messr Morrill snd Stevens,en
gaged in passing a tariff bill," which; by the
acknowledgement of its most determined sup
porters, sacrifices the revenue of the United
States for the sake of protecting A few weal
thy manufacturing capitalists.
The arguments used to justify this atro
cious act are so weak that they move to
laughter those who hear the speeches of Mr.
Morrill and Mr. Stevens. Mr. Morrill's
strong point is that this country is greatly
deficient in laborers, and that therefore it is
highly necessary to provide employment for
American working-men. Mr. Stevens's
strongest point is that the proposed tariff is
not nearly high enough, and is, in fact, a
free-trade measure.
We cannot doubt that the President will
veto this oppressive bill. He is too enlight
ened a statesman, and too impartial a lover
of the whole country, to give his consent to
a scheme whose effects will be, as we have
frequently shown, to cripple our foreign com
merce; to increase the present high prices
of the necessaries of life ; to retard the pro
gress of the country ; to grant monopolies
to a few manufacturing capitalists, and to se
duce the scanty laboring force of the country
from profitable into unprofitable employ
ments .
What is needed is a revenue tariff, and we
hope some members of Congress will tike
the trouble to frame a bill to that end, and
propose it In the meantime we trust the
members from southern states who can take
the oath will be admitted to their seats.
We warn the prohibitionists that they ride
too high a horse for safety. They are trying
to force a most hateful and wicked scheme
upon the country. That is bad enough ; but
they are at the same time keeping out the
representatives of the southern states. Are
they doing this in order to makesure of their
own schemes? Is it to secure the passage of
this prohibitive and destructive bill that they
refuse to admit the southern members? It
would seem so, from their highhanded course.
The country will believe it, aud they will only
ruin themselves by such a course, which
heaps injustice on injustice, and commit one
wrong in order to facilitate the committal of
another iu-t as a highwayman maims his
'victims in order the more easily to plunder
their per.-ons.
The American people will not tolerate
such legislation ; they will sweep away, at the
first opportunity, men so faithless to the
general welfare ; there are already signs to
show that the men who vote for this tariff,
especially under the aggravating circumstance
of the exclusion from debate and vote, of the
southern members, will be left in a small
minority in the next Congress.
"That Letter."
Bloomsburo, March 2, 1SGG.
Hon. Hugh McCulloch,' Secretary of the
Treasury :
Sir : I inclose you a copy of my issue
this week, I have likewise addressed a copy
to the IVesident You will - see that the
charge that I am opposing him is false.
If I am sustained by yourself and the
President; if the patronage is not taken from
us and given to those who oppose us, we
shall be able to make our vigorous Union or
ganization a unit and triumphantly sus
tain THE adjiixistration. Respectfully,
Pa lemon John,
Assessor 13th District l'enn'a.
The above letter appears in the last num
ber of the Republican. Was there eversuch
feebleness of style in a letter written with so
much care and on which such great hopes
depended. . Has the Doctor never learnt the
old maxim that "in fewer words the mind
conceives more ?" That litter ought not, to
have occupied over three lines'. Thus : The
charqe that I am opposina the President is
false. ; and whether I sluill do so or not, de
pends upon the circumstance whether Vie as-
sessorship shall be taken from me or not. l'or
choice, and improvement of style, we will
write that Utter again. 1 he principles at is
sue between the iVuZrn and Conarcss, are
all the same to Tne. I am for sale, and go
for (lie party that pays my pricc,viz : theas-
sessorship.
The above letter was sent to the Secreta
ry of the Treasury long after the issue be
tween the President and the Rump had been
made, up, by the veto of the Ireedman's
Bureau Bill, and the President's celebrated
speech of the twenty-second of February.
What say you Dis-union radicals, at thus be
ing exposed for sale like sheep in the sham
bles, bv the editor of the paper you swear
by ? What value is ascribed to your princi
ples, or have you none, that j-ou are willing
to Ik: thus sold out by your representative
Saint John, to whose house vou expect to
go when you die ? The Doctor does not wait
to be approached or tempted. It is said that
the Devil tempts every person : but Doctor
John tempts the Devil. The President and
Secretary being thus informed by that letter
that Doctor John is purchasable, concluded
they would buy him any time they might
want him and would lay him aside for the
present. The letter having been shown to
the Kudical senators, they concluded that as
the President could pay more than they, it
was not worth while for them to try to re
tain him : Hence their unanimous confir
mation of Mr. Clark. COM;

NATIONAL CONVENTION IN PI1ILA

Washington July 3, 18G6
Td the People of the United States :
Dangers threaten. The Constitution, the
citadel of our liberties is directly assailed.
The future is dark; unless the people will
come to the rescue. In Ibis hour of peril the
National Union should be the watchword of
every true ni&n. As essential to National
Union, we must maintiin unimpaired the
lights, the dignity and the equality of the
States, including the right of representation
in Congress, and the exclusive nghtof each
State to control its own domestic concerns,
subject only to the Constitution of the Uni
ted Stites. After a uniform construction
of the Constitution for more than halfa cen
tury, the assumption of new and arbitrary
powers in the Federal Government is sub
versive of our system and destructive of lib
erty. A free interchange of opinion and kind
feeling between the citizens of all the States
is necessary to the perpetuity of the Union.
At present eleven States are excluded from
the National council. Forseven long months
the present Congress has persistently denied
any right of representation to the people of
these States
Laws affecting their highest and dearest
interests have been passed without their con
sent, and in disregard of the fundamental
principle of free government This denial
of representation nas been made to all the
niembers from a State, although the State,
in the language'of the President, "presents
itsejf not only jn an attitude of loyalty and
harmony, but in the persons of representa
tives whose loyalty can not bcquestioned un
der any existing Constitutional orlegal test."
The representatives of nearly one-third of
the States have not been consulted with rcf
crence to the great questions of the day.
There has been no nationality surrounding
the present Congress. There has been no
intercourse between the representatives of
the two section, producing mutual confidence
and respect
In the language of the distinguished Lieutenant-general,
"It is to be regretted that at
this time there can not bea greater comming
ling between the citizens of the two section',
and particularly of those intrusted with the
law-making power." This state of things
should be removed at once, and forever.
Therefore, to preserve the National Union,
to indicate the sufficiency of our admirable
Constitution, to guard the States from co
vert attempts to deprive them of their true
position in the Union, and to bring together
those who are unnaturally severed, and for
these great national purposes only, we cor
dially approve the call for a National Union
Convention, to be held at the city of Phila
delphia on the second Tuesday; the 14th of
August next, and indorse the principles there
in st forth.
We therefore respectfully but earnestly
urge upon our fellow-citizens in each State,
Territory and Congressional District in the
United States, in the interest of union and
in a spirit of harmony, and with a direct ref
erence to the principles contained in said
call, to act promptly in the selection of mod
erate and Conservative men to represent them
in said Convention, to the end that all the
States shall at once be restored to their prac
tical'relations to the Union, the Constitution
be maintained, and peatfe belss the whole
country.

The Disunion press are unutterably
shocked that Dan Rice, "the clown." should
"aspire to a Congressional position." Their
shock is due, evidently, to the fact that the
showman is a consistent Democrat ; a man
of ability, and sufficient honor and honesty
to live as a man and to pay his debts. We
have heard of no shocks, however, in regard
to Phineas T. Barnum, "loyal" representa
tive, who has never been able to achieve the
eminence of a decent showman.
Cu The Western members of Congress
have decided to vote in a body against the
Morrill monopolizing Tariff Bill. They are
evidently looking to the interest of theircon
stituent. BLOOM SCI KG MARKLT.

strong negttin eridmct of this fact, that the efiVaey
of the article as a specific for dyspepsia. biliousness,
