" ; How to do it.
;Under this heading we again propose to
express our opinion on the coming Philadel
phia Convention. '
Arid the great question among all parties
is, how shall we make it a benefit to our
country and an advantage to our party.
' In answer to thi3 inquiry the Radical jour
nals,' and the Democratic organs take quite a
different view of the matter. 'In a "very
lengthy and labored article, of nearly two
columns, the New York Evening Post, a Rad
ical sheet for universal suffrage and negro
equality, gives an opinion,, which is reitera
ted by every Radical newspaper in the coun
try, of the elements -which, should compose
the Convention, and how to make it benefi
cial (only) to the Republican party. Here
is its logic
"Now. will the Philadelphia Convention
te composed of the men who will adopt such
"a platform of principles, as will give eqttal
and exact justice everywhere and to all men ?
. We notice, for a beginning," that Fernando
"Wood and James Brooks are delegates from
New York, to the Convention, and Gconre
H. Pendleton Vallandigham's "own famil
iar friend" and Mr, Johnson's opponent for
the V lce-Presderjcy in the last election and
Georere W. Morran, a Foldierwho left the
army in the middle of the war to take part
in politics with Vallandigham, are delegates
from Ohio.
- .It should not be necessary to tell the man
agers of the Convention that these persons
will not do at all The 'new part',' if it is to
be formed at all, is formed to get rid of these
I'ellows and here they are, trooping to Phil
adelphia to control it for their own advan
tage ff It is of no use. This is the way not
to do it . The country is not blind ; the peo
ple cannot be bamboozled by smooth phrases,
to accept a party controlled by the V00d3,
Seymours, Brookses, Reeds. Pendletons,
nd Vallandlghams. They feel that many of
the Republican leaders are blunderers : but
they remember that they are at least faith
ful to the Union, they uphold the flag, they
believe treason to be a crime ; and if there is
no other choice, the country will stick to them
rather than go with such company S3 is how
on the way to Philadelphia."
Now the manifest result of all this is a
sense of "goneness" about the Abolition
practice of Union, which promises an early
collapse of their theory. We believe it is
the intention of the Democratic party, and
we believe it is their' duty, after having been
invited, to send its very beet, ablest and most
prominent Democrats to that Convention ;
men who can be heard ia that body and who
can and will procure a platform of principles
in accordance with those of the Democratic
party, based upon true principles of public
policy ; men who have always been Demo
crats, and who are;Deruocrat3 still, and notrj
those who aro instigated by private cliques
from (he meanest motives of political or per
sonal aggrandizement If we understand the
englL-h language there is not, among out two
hundred Democratic exchanges, a single pa
per advocating or even willing tmder any cir
cumstances to abandon one jot or tittle of the
platform of the Democratic party by sending
delegates to the Philadelphia Convention,
but only desire to encourage the laudable ef
forts of the conservative elements in break
ing down the sectional .Abolition incubus
which fa weighing- like a nightmare- trpon
(mf' country, ' The idea of abandoning the
DemocratTc; 'party or, 'of sending delegates
to that Convention, who will agree to any
thing not purely Democratic, was distinctly
repudiated by the Democracy in Mass Con
vention at Reading," on the ISth inst., and
received no more consideration in that body
than would a proposition made to each indi
vidual to commit suicide. The Democracy
of Ohio, New York, and every other State,
which ha3 already taken action on the pro
posed Convention, have done likewise, and
approved of sending delegates to said Con
vention for the purpose indicated. As to the
endorsement to be given., by the Democracy,
to the proceeding or recommendations of the
Convention, that is another question.
The business of Democrats is, at present,
to send their soundest and best men to the
Convention, to complete their local organiza
tions, to extend the circulation of their pa
pers, to noinriate full-blooded Democrats
&r county and District cf!lces-and,in general,

The editors of this paper endeavor to pub
ILsh a journal for the Democratic party-
one that supports Democratic principle and
measures and not men nor faction : and in
doing that, we do not intend bur writings or
selections to conform m sentimentwith those
promulgated by the new press, throughout
the country, claiming to be the special organs
of the President and his policy, only so far
as they accord with our views upon all gen
eral questions. V e have little faith in these
new papers or the men who are connected
with them ; and much less in men who have
not the independence and courage to public
ly take a position in the attempt to establish
a new party and new party organs, but go
fawning and maliciously among the people
with their complaints, that the Democratic
party and its papers are not pursuing a prop
er course towards this "faction" from the
Abolition ranks, but better known throughout
the country as ''disorganizers," the worst
and most dangerous enemy the Democracy
had to contend with during the past five
years. They performed all the mischief it
was possible for them to perform, in the way
of plundering and destroying the country
generally, while in the Abolition ranks ; and
now, with the aid of a few Democrats, who
are over-anxious for the loaves and fislies, no
matter through what process they are pro
cured, these same malcontents hope to build
up a party and triumph over the honest men
of the country ; and because the Democratic
press warn the people of this thing, it is not
Democratic but doing an injury to itsolf as
well as greatly retarding every movement
looking towards the restoration of the Union
and the success of the Democratic party. 1
We cannot see how any success to the Dem
ocratic party orthe country can come through
a movement emanating solely from a dissat
isfied faction of the Abolition party. That
they have lately arose above party and now
go far their country would have sounded tet
ter five years ago while some of the same
clan were grappling at her throat endeavor
ing to strangle her to death. Then on the
other hand, to better establish their faith to
the country and their country's good, they
should join ' the Democracy, the only party
that have stood up boldly through dark days
as well as sunshine, and defended the laws
and the Constitution, while the bad men of
their party were trying their utmost to de
stroy them. t
When the Douglass faction were building
their party from the ranks of the Democracy
the Abolitionists were strenuously engaged in
increasing theirs, neither endorsing nor af
filiating with the Douglass men. The conse
quence was, a division of the Democratic par
ty to such an extent that the Abolitionists got
in powerand the Douglass faction went with
them. Just where the "disorganizers" will
go hereafter. Therefore, every man who has
the good of his country and the Democratic
party at heart will adhere with renewed en
ergy to the cardinal principles of the De
mocracy increase the party in numbers as
the only way in which the J ohnson Disun
ionists can be brought over. . Every Demo
crat who strays to the "disorganizers," steps
out to be bought by power he disunites
himslf from the Democracy and lessens its
chances of suecess. The idea that a third
party can have any other object in view, than
the spoils now, and the power hereafter, is
totally abandoned by all.

"Another Veto.
On the 16th inst the President returned
to the House of Representatives the bill ex
tending the Freedmen's Bureau, with his
objections thereto. He considers it uncon
stitutional and inconsistent with the welfare
of the country and makes the same objec
tions to it that he made to a similar mea
sure a few months ago. He firmly adheres
to the position he then took. He opposes
military tribunals for the trial of civilians as
provided in the bill, and as much as declares
that no person shall be deprived of life, lib
erty ,or property without due process of law.
He also objects to opportunities given in
the bill to agents of the Bureau to promote
their own interests and accumulate wealth,
both at the expense of the citizen and the
public. . He points to the recent investiga
tion of the doings of the agents of the exist
ing'Bareau in justification of his position.
Immediately after the reading of the mes-
sa re ttie question was taken upon the bill.
and it passed by a vote of 103 to 33. The
bill was also passed by the Senate the same
afternoon by the requisite " two-thirds vote,
therefore it has become a law. So we go.
If the Radicals are not defeated in the com
ing Fall elections we shall conclude that the
American people arc willing to accept a des
potic and mongrelized Government Every
act of the Radicals is loading them with
more guilt ,
, . The Deserter Case.
We are very glad to be able to lay before
our readers the opinion' of the Supreme
Court in the case of the right of non-reporting
drafted men to vote.
The opinion was delivered by Strong,
Justice, who is a republican in politics and
has uniformly concurred with Justices Reed
and Agnew, in all questions of constitutional
law, which haj arisen during the rebellion;
and therefore, this conclusion, reached by
him in the present case, is important, as
showing the impregnable position of the De
mocracy upon the question. It is another
endorsement of their position by the Court,
and as gratifying as those previously . made,
and mentioned in our paper. The aboli
tionists cannot call tiak a partisan , decision ,
it closes their mouths and settles the question
of the power of Consrress nd the Legisla
ture forever. Thedecisionisagreat triumph
of law, order, and Democracy.
Democrats would reach Judge Strone's
conclusions by a different course of reasoning.
But the conclusion being right, we are not
inclined to quarrel about the road he travels.
Some day we may review it fully. , Even
now it vindicates the Democracy completely.

Greeley Alarmed.
The' New York '2W&imhasleen most bit-'
ter in its denunciation of the National Union
Convention to be helct in Philadelphia on the
14th of August Its fjars are excited to such
a pitch that it raves "frantically from day to
day. At first it affected to despise the move
ment as insignificant. ; of late, however, it
has altered its tune. In. a late issue - it
says :
"This Philadelphia Convention has the
substantial support to start with, of the par
ty which polled over 2,800,000 votes for Mo
Clellan and Pendleton" in 1864. Then it is
backed by the essentially unchanged rebels,
with scarcely an exception. Add to these
the Federal Executive, with its despotic pow
er over what 3Ir. Randall terms the "bread
and butter" of moro than One Hundred
Thousand Republican now in office yet who
are given to understand that the official heads
must fall if they fail 1o support 'my policy,'
and the Philadelphia Convention movement
is seen to be sufficiently formidable to justify
and demand fixed attention."
No wonder the Tribune is startled by its
own figures. We wl! not complain about
the terms of classification it employs, or the
names it applies to opponents. It is at lib
erty to style every Southerner who is not
ready to endorse the doctrine of negro suf
frage an "unchanged rebel." It may stig
matize the vast body o: Conservative Repub
licans who stand by President Johnson as it
sees fit Its ill names will make them none
the less numerous or respectable. The fact
stands .out well ascertained and acknowl
edged, according to the Tribune's own show
ing, that the Radical wing of the Republi
can party is already hopelessly in the minor
ity when the vote of the whole country is
taken into account. The Philadelphia Con
vention will represent a large majority of
the people of the Ut.ited States. It is no
wonder Greeley is alarmed at the formidable
character of this political movement It
promises to destroy thj radical disunion par
ty in the North, and that speedily, for which
all good men should be thankful.
The Philadelphia Convention.
It is a little curious that while the World
and Daily Xeict favor this Convention, the
organs and leaders of the two great political
parties both strenuously oppose it Our read
ers already know what Republican journals
say of it ; they will find elsewhere some ex
tiacts from the New York Leader, the re
cognized organ of Tammany Hall The
Leader, it will be seen, denounces the pro
posed Convention as vigorously as 'the Tri
bune. If, a the World and Times, evidently be-
neve, .ir. Johnson ana Mr. reward are en
gaged in this movement for a Convention,
the following words in the Leader would
seem to be very harsh :
"In regard to the proposition to merge the
great democratic party in this movement,
it is not prepared to surrender
its leaders and transfer its forces to the mer
cy of those who come claiming to be commanders-in-chief,
with oat any rank or file,
without weapons of warfare, without amu
nition, without baggage or baggage wagons,
dr even ambulances, tut on foot, weary and
wasted, defeated and dejected, carrying with
them nothing but the record of their losses
and defeats and the prestige of played-out
power, and who should be extremely thank
ful for rest, shelter and protection, instead

Black Copperhead.
During Lincoln's imbecile, blundering?,
ever to be lamented, and distressing admin
istration, his friends were incessantly de
nouncing the Democrats who objected to his
misrule as "Copperheads." It seems to me,
that if an honest and moderate opposition
to the sad policy of the late administration,
made us Uonstitntioral Union Ucmocrats
"Coprx?rheads :" then, the immndpratp. mar.
crusade of the Constitution tinkering dis
union abolitionists, agiinst Pre-ident John

makes them thick Copperheads, for. it is a

this works here on the 'double quick."

A MONSTER GATHERING.
Great Enthusiasm for Olymer.
Reading, July 19.
For enthusiasm and numbers the meeting
at Beading, yesterday, exceeded any politi
cal demonstration ever held in the State.
The Polk and Dallas procession at Philadel
phia in '44, the great Woodward meeting at
Lancaster in '63, theM'Clellan torch-light
procession at Philadelphia in '64, the Dem
ocratic picnic at Harrisburg, Julv; '65, and
the great three-day meeting at r ob Moun
tain, in the fall of '65, were heretofore con
sidered giants were assemblages of people
almost incredible in numbei" but in compar
ison to the Clymer meeting at Reading yes
terday they were as a company is to a grand
army a corporal's guard to a regiment
The almost endless throngs of Democrats
that crowded into this busy little city from
early dawn until late in the day, by rail, afoot,
and by every imaginable mode of convey
ance, was a wonderful sight a soul-inspiring
scene. They were as the children of
Israel coming out of Egyptian bondage a
"mighty host" from the hills and valleys
the conservative masses of Eastern Penn
sylvania coming to pledge fealty to their standard-bearer,
the gallant son of old Berks
Hiester Clymer.
Reading is situated at the base of two
towering mountains the round-topped Penn
Mountain on the northeast side, which juts
up, back of the jail, like a bleepless sentinel
constantly on guard, and the famous Never
Sink, on the south east, with its frowning
Eeak looking down on the factories and lager
ecr gardens, as if its duty was to watch
them and see that they did no harm. On
the western frontthe Schuylkill winds around
the town, and beyond it are high rolling
lands. Penn streetis the principal thorough
fare. It is central and runs from east to
west As it approaches the heart of the
city it increases, for about two squares,more
than double its width, and that portion is
designated as Market or Penn Square. This
was the place selected for holding the meet
ing, but it proved inadequate to accommo
date the great throng.
.bout eleven o'clock immense delegations
from Dauphin, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Lehigh,
Northampton, Carbon, Bucks, Montgomery,
Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster
and York counties, came marching into Penn
Square from the different cross streets, on
their way to their headquarter with ban
ners and soul-stirring music. The grandeur
of the scene was beyond description. One
minute the thrill bugle and the rattling
drums were the governing sounds. Next
minute the welcome cheers from thousands
of stout hearts drowned all others. ,-Then
the music would assume--the ascendency
again, and so alternated this conflict of sounds
for near an hour.
The meetings were called to order about
two o'clock. The main stand was a little
west of the Keystone House, and another at
the lower end of the square near Mishler's
Hotel. But soon after the organization at
the main stand, I noticed speeches being
made from the balcony of the Mansion
House, "door steps, market stalls, and on
both sides of the Keystone House. The
whole city seemed to be a town of meetings.
There was no "flying horses," as yourneigh
bor, the Telegraph, seemed so anxious about,
except the few riotous and drunken Geary
men, who designed raising a disturbance.
The crowd was too big. There was no room
for the ' flying horses," no'chance for the
Geary rioters. The mee'insr at the main
stand was called to order by the Cnairman of
the State Central Committee, Hon. Wil
liam A. Wallace, in a neat and eloquent
speech. The officers selected were as follows :

Mr. Vaux made air excellent speech. He
was followed by our distinguished candidate,
Hon. Hiester ClVmer, lion. Montgomery
Blair, and Hon. George IL Pendleton. It
would be impossible to give the speeches, or
even the names of all who addressed the
different meetings. Mr. Pendleton spoke
from the balcony of the Keystone House,
and other distinguished speakers spoke in
front of the Mansion House. The resolu
tions were read from the main stand. They
Were as follows:
Resolved by the Democraa of Eastern and
Central Pennsylvania in Mass Convention
Assembled:
That the contest upon which we are now
entering,is simply whether the Federal Union
under the Constitution, as adopted and con
strued by its illustrious authors, with the re
served rights of the States unimpaired, shall
continue to be one form of Government, or
whether we shall have forced upon us by
Congressional usurpation and revolutionary
action a central consolidated government,
bound by no constitutional restraints, and in
which the liberties of the people would be
at the mercy of a bare majority of Congress,
controlled by self-constituted and an "irre
sponsible" central directory.
2. Resolved, That the Democratic are
now as ever the only true Union party of the
land. That we point with pride to the un
tiring and unselfish efforts made by all Dem
ocrats and Conservatives in and out of Con
gress to preserve the Union before the war
commenced by conciliation and compromise,
the only means by which it was formed, ana
without which it will never be more than a
name ; that the refusal of the Republican
party to yield their partisan prejudices for
the sake of peace and Union, was the im
mediate cause of the war and posterity will
hold them responsible.
3. Resolved, That we will holdall depart
ments of the Government to its official and
solemn declaration that "the war was not
prosecuted for any purpose of conquest or
subjugation, but to maintain the supremacy
of the Constitution, and to preserve the
Union with all the dignity, equality and
rights of the several States unimpaired ;"
that the war having ended by the surrender
of the rebel armies, the people of the South
are subject only to sucn penalties as the
Constitution of our common country, and
the laws passed in pursuance of it, may pre
scribe, and arc entitled to ail the rights
which that Constitution insures to all the
people of all the States.
4. Resolved, That the Federal Union is
composed of thirty-six States; that, under
the Constitution, each State is entitled to an
equal representation in the Senate, and to
its proper representation in the lower House;
that the Constitution is the Supreme law of
the land ; that the President is sworn to en
force the law, and that we call upon him in
the name of an outraged and violated Con
stitution, and an imperiled Union, to make
the Congress what the consequence requires
it to be the representative body of the
people.
5. Resolved, That we denounce the pro
ceedings of the Radical majority in the so
called Congress as lawless and revolutionary,
and intended by the leaders to utterly sub
vert and destroy our wise and beneficial sys
tem of government, and to establish in its
place a consolidated despotim controlled by
the worst spirit of New England fanaticism.
6. Resolved, That we tender to President
Johnson our heartfelt thanks for his bold
and steadfast determination to restore the
Union of our Fathers "in its original purity."
and we adjure him by the memory of the
immortal Jackson, to convince the radical
disunionists by word and deed, that "the
Federal Union must and shall be preserved."
7. Resolved, That w.e are opposed to ne
gro suffrage, believing that the white men
of America are able to govern themselves,
without the aid of an inferior race, and that
we disapprove of the amendment to the Con
stitution lately proposed by the so-called
Congress, it being nothing but the offer of a
reward to the States for granting negro suf
frage, and a threat of punishment in case of
refusal.
8. Resolved, That the Soldiers who fought
for the Union and the Constitution deserve
well of the Country, and that the repeated
declaration of the Radicals that the rebellion
could not have been subdued without the
aid of black troops is a gross and wanton in
sult to the brave and gallant white soldiers
of America, which they will know how to
resent at the noils.
9. Resolved, That the sympathies of the
Democracy are now as they have ever been
with our brave brothers of the Emerald Isle,
in their gallant efforts to free their native
land from the foul tyranny of England, and
that we owe nothing to the English govern
ment which should prevent us from repeal
ing or modifying the neutrality laws, so as ta
give the Irish fair play, which is all they
ask.
10. Resolved, That we endorse and re-affirm
the platform of principles adopted by
the Democratic State Convention at Harris
burg on the 5th of March last, and we pre
bent with pride to the Democratic and Con
servative citizens of Pennsylvania our wor
thy candidate for Governor, lion. Hiester
Clymer. He answers in an eminent degree
the requirements of Jefferson; he is honest,
he is capable, and he is faithful. The most
malignant of his political enemies can find
no spot on his fair fame, and to the slandci s
and misrepresentations of radical disunion
ists, we auswer that he is now as he has al
ways been, under all circumstances, in favor
of the Union of our Fathers, a Lnion of
White Mcn
11. Resolved, That the tariff men of Penn
sylvania may see by the votes of Senators
Sumner and Wilson, of Massachusetts, and
Foster of Connecticut, that the professions
of friendship for Fennsylvani by the radicals
of New England, are as sincire as their pro
fessions of regard for the Union of the States.
12. Resolved, That we approve of the call
for a National Union Convention of all the
States to meet in Philadelphia on the 14th
of August next, to sustain the President in
patriotic policy of restoration, and we rec
ommend the State Central Committee to take
such action as will best advance the purposes
of the call.
At about half-past five the meetings were
adioumed, and the majority of the visiting
delegations left on the six o'clock trains, for
their homes. As they rattled" along the di
verging lines of railroads, the"flyiiig horses"
the Geary rowdies again sallied forth to
creat3 disturbances. Bloody noses and
knocking down of inoffensive men prevailed
for a time in a number of localities. It is
said some of the rowdies entered the Key
stone House, tore down Democratic hand
bills and trampled an American under their
feet as an evidence of their party hatred.
Still the meeting was a great success, and the
occasion one that will be lone remembered
by the conservative masses of jEastern Penn
sylvania. Howes' European Circus performed
at Newburg, N. Y., on the 5th, to two very
large crowds. Before leaving the- town the
managers met with quite a loss by the burn
ing to death of ten of their horses by the
burning of a stable. There were twenty-seven
horses in the stable, . and seventeen were
rescued. They also lost four sets of har
ness. The Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Ohio recommend to the Democracy
of the United States the holding of ageneral
Convention at Baltimore on the 8th ot'Janu
ary next, as a preliminary to the complete
restoration of the ancient harmony of feel
ing and sentiment between the members of
tLa only national organization now in existence.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTEIIS.
Man wants a Toieic no uncommon want
And every yeir and month brings forth a new one.
Which, after cramming the gaSTlte with cant.
The age discovers n.it the true one.
Of such as these let their concoctors ranat,
I'll sing the BITTER that have credit due won.
The Wrnld's great Tonic, which no skill can better,
1 mean the matchless BITTERS of HOSTS TTER.
Dortnrs were living long before oM Gtlen.h
And since, exceeding learned, grave and sage;
But the stomachics ihey were bound to fail in ;
Sucress came not until this later age.
Now is tbe era sic folks are made hale in.
And dread dyspepsia driven from the stage.
Agues, remittents, headaches real head splitters.
Vanish like smoke before Hosteller' Bitters,
Herbs, barks and roots eomp.ethe rare infusion.
No mineral poison m4r their Juices jnsre.
And Rye's mild essence hold them in solution,
Tbetasie is pleasant, the effect is sure.
NeVr have ll.e Hitters yet proved a delusion:
Try thm in time, and health and strength secure,
The dragon- layer ngere on tbe label.
And Uiey, like him , to save ibe weak are able.
