A clique of .the very worst men were found to be in' league with it ; - and it .had, and no doubt has yet for its object the building up of a new party: without any pledge, qualifi cation or condition, and the destruction of parties and principles which have been main tained and defended through trial, blood and treasure, fr,om th$ days of Washington and Jefferson down to the; present time . We Bay that we hare the evidence, and can prove it, that some of the very men who are compelled- to acknowledge their affiliation- with thi3 "bastard eonceni," in their unguarded moments, have been found plotting for the defeat of fliESTEU Clyitek and the Demo cratic party. We also have . the evidence and names of metiy Democrats;' who have refused to take the .Democrat and Star because they -have, " to their aorrow,. been persuaded ' to subscribe j and pay for the Columbianx and do not feel 'able to taker and pay for,,- more' thaav one county paper. ' We gay these things because.we believe it to be out duty to warn Democrats not to be deceived and ensnared by these men, who were schemers and plotters i the 'damning heresies btEnmo-bothingism, Native-Americanism,' f.-c, 'who met in the dead hours of the night, leagued together by secret oatha and grips, making appeals to. the worst pas sions of the human heart, and at the same time, in day-light and in public, wearing the mask of honesty, and endeavoring , to keep ths fair side to London. That there will soon be a vigorous effort made on the part of the Columbianites to increase its circulation, - there i3 not a shadow of a doubt, but if there is a Democrat in the .land who can endorse its course or recommend it to hia neighbor, then we confess that we don't know what Democracy is, and are, thereforeT unfit to publish a Democratic paper for such individ uals The Johnson papers, contrary no doubt to the wishes of the 'President, in counties ' where the Democratic party is not largely in .the majority, have already hoisted the name of Geary for Governor and deal in vindictiveness and abuse of Mr. Clyjier.' We are determined to be honest and outspoken on all political questions and party emergencies, ' and we are. Tery certain that no emergency is required,' and no new ground need be occupied, by Democrats, to endorse President Johnson's restoration pol icy; and in endorsing it, it is not necessary that - we should subscribe to a doctrine that favors the election of Gzary or refuses to support Clymer. -We hope' that' this may eerre as a timely warning to our Democratic friends and the friends of .Johnson, Clymer, and the Union to tread upon safe and eound grounds' Any man who really desires the restoration of the Union, in conformity with the Constitution, will not, and cannot; think . of giving: aid and strength to men and cliques that refuse to define their position, or select their candidates on and fof the great ques tions of the hour.. '.Whosoever is not for the Democratic, organization, which represents the patriotic and Union-loving sentiment of the country, but is found Becretly plotting for its defeat and destruction, the same is against ns, and. should be treated as a enemy. FeIlcw-Democrat3, we have thus, in short, given yon a fair type of the movements of a designing faction in our .midst and while the intentions of one Or two of. their clirpic ma be for ther success of the Democratic " party we, have every ruason to believe that the" mar jority", or controling,' power . of this fiction seek its overthrow. . We ask you, therefore, to touch not, 4a;;te not of the unclean thm? , but commence', battlnig 'for earnest for the guccess of th'e.D'emocratic party," width has given yon a noble standard-bearer in the person of HnsTER Clymer, an honest, true, and steadfast,' Democrat,' ' and not like the candidate on' the Abolition side, who is a renegade, a radical of the Stevens, Sumner and Kelly school, a negro worshipper, and a disnnionist. :.

' . r 'y Little Sullivan is among the first counties in the State that have held their nominating Convention?, and is now fairly and squarely in the campaign battling for the good old cause.

We admire their choice for Congress, think no better could have been made, aud hope the gentleman named can be induced to accept the nomination! An Interesting Case. , We give below, the leading facts of a case of lawlessness which was nactcd in Lehigh County, Pa. j during the late, war, when the party in power exerted the power of the gov ernment in every conceivable shape to ruin and destroy the property as well as the lives of Democrats. If all the mean, malicious and damning acts of the Lincolnites could be brought to light, even at this day, no doubt there are dozens, i;i this county, who would be obliged to occupy a room in the Penitentiary for a period of about ten years. Read the infamous case, arid remember that ten thousand of a worse character, are on record, all committed by the depraved wretches of a tyrannical administration, many of whom would novr like to escape the vengeance which awaits them. - "It will be remembcied by our readers that in February, 1363. a horse belonging to Abram Brinker, of upper Saucnn town ship, wa found dead in a field, having been taken from the stable in the night time and killed. Suspicion at once Attached itself to Herman Ycaer one of oil Aloe's deputy Provost Mar.-h.ih a hired Fpy and common infonner of the same township, as the guilty party, and criminal proceeding wer instituted again.-t hira, but tho proof bring siight he was not connoted. The cae being ended as was tuppo.-ed, people talked itover and new facts ana evidence was found con necting Yager .with ir. ., Brinker,. brought an action of trespass,'' and the case was" week before last jnitsmitted to 'Messrs. James Fry, Jonathan Reichard and Thomas Jacoby as arbitrators. On the trial it wa3 proven that the mare, (being then with foal) worth from forty to eighty dollars, was found dead, hav ing her throat cut, and a letter placed upon her directed to Mr. Brinker, abusing him fjr being a Democrat, and evidently show ing that the person whocomniitted the inhu man act was wholly prompted by political malice for the purpose of injuring Brinker who though a poor man, was williog to be prosecuted for his opinion. It was further proven by Charles Reichard that Yeajrer told him in the harvest cf 1862 that they would make up a Club to kill Brinker's mare, that Yeager enjoined secrecy, and that Yeaarer expressed himself hostile to Brinker on account of politics J ames Crader proved that 1 eager asked hini tojom a club to kill Brinker's mare, and said .they would make up a Club to da it. Other facts strongly im plicating Yeager were proven. Yeager denied the charges and proved by Bergenstock, his hired mssn, that they slept in the same room the night the mare was killed, and thought Ycagc-r had not left the room. Some other facts were relied upon to ehaw an alibi, but the srbitrators were of the opinion that the evidence wassufiicient to prove the complicity of Yeager in the mat ter the two of them,, to-wit : ;Me??rs. Fry and .Jacoby- on the 2i!d day of July last, award ed S200 damages in favor of Brinker and against Yeager; - - ? -. .? The spirit of lawlessness inaugurated by the party in the position of the government during the war manifested itself in breaches of the peace,- in murder aad in the infliction, of punishments upon inoffending citizens who dared to differ with men like Yeager, but seldom has there been so' wanton and inhu man an act of vengeance inflicted upon' a helpless dumb beast as in the present case. It is only to be regretted that the case was not prosecuted successful v in the criminal Court, that a proper punishment by impris onment could have ben pronounced for so barbarous aa act We have not learned whether Y eager intenls to appeal the case to Court, or whetlicr he will becontent to leave it as it is and pay the award.1 The case was tried on the part of Brinker by John I). Stiles and George B. Schall, Esqr?. and . on the part of Yeager by John H. Oliver and E. J. Moore, Esqrs.

STATE The Democratic Soldiers of Pesnsylvania met in Convention at Harrisburg, on Wed nesday, the 1st int Every county in the State was 'fully represented a remarkable fadk waei? we t'akeitrto jbn?ideration that the Convention was composed of citizens and not politicians. A great many of the Dele ifes'wereKepublicans' tut cjuld no longer support the radicals, hence, came out square ;fbf tfrenry trtfe Union party left The "boys in blue" are .not going to support the Radical's candidate for Governor this Fall. They are going "to vote as they fought," for the Union, the Constitution, and the laws. It was the largest Convention ever held in the State. In order that the revilers of the soldier may know who were in attendance, as Delegates at this Convention, a complete list of Delegates have been published, giving the Company, number of Regiment, and term of Bervice. The unprincipled villain of the Harrisburg Tt lcjraph can then con sult, the mustering "rolbj'' and "records" and see if he was correct when he stated that he discovered in attendance as Delegates "Bounty-jumpers,' "Deserters" and "Draft sneaks." ' The Convention convened in the Hall of Representatives, at 10 o'clock,-A. M. Gen. J. B, Swcitzer, of Pittsburg, was made tem porary Chairman On taking the Chair he made a few remarks, after which a commit tee on permanent organization was appoint ed, of which Capt. Broekway, of this place, wa3 Chairman. This Committee reported as President, Gen. William 31'Candles, of Philadelphia, who came forward and presi ded over the Convention with a good deal of ability. He made a most excellent . speech, reviewing the past actions of the Radicals, as well as paying a high compliment to Gen.' George B.'M'Clellan. " After M'Candles' speech a committee on resolutions was appointed. A thort recess was then taken, and, on re-assembling, Gen. M'Calmont, in the absence of the Presdcnt, was called to the Chair. Speeches were rnade by Swcitzer,. M'Can dles, M'Calmont, Linion, Broekway, Al bright, and others, at the Convention. The resolutions -beiug roai arid adopted, the Convention wa.s, declared adjourned, and the delegates formed in hue and marched in pro cession to the Hotel where Mr. CLTArnnwas stopping. Cheers for the different favorites rang loudly on the air, and the demands for Clymer were made in stentorian tones. He soon came forward and spoke to the "boys in blue" over half an hour, in pLun and un mistakable language, amidst the greatest en thusiasm. He retired amid loud cheers. William A. Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, being called on, made a few eloquent remarks, ap pealing to the soldiers not to desert the Union for which they fought, and rally around the same old flag for which so many lives had been lost. The following are the resolutions : RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, The Convention, managed and controlled by politicians, whu h assembled in Pittburg on the 5th oflune last pledged the offi-rers, soldiers and seamen of Pennsyl vania to the supjort oi'the radical disunion mcaiuresof Congress, and a? opposed to the just and constitutional restoration policy of 1 resident .J ohn--nn ; 'And itrhrresnt. The members of th said Convention 'falsely styled themselves the 'JiepreaChtativas of the soldiers and sailors of Pennsylvania," and presumed to speak for them without authority; ; And whereas, The proceedings of the said Convention misrepresent the true sentiments of the great mass of the retuined soldiers and sailors of this State and do great injustice to the late defenders of the Constitution and Union ; therefore, be it 1. Resoficd, That we, authorized repre sentatives of our late companions in arms, do repudiate theproceedingsoi the Pittsburg convention of the 5th cf June, because they do not represent the true sentiments; of the officers, soldiers and seamen of Pennsylva nia. , . 2. Resolced, That we hold the same belief now that we did when we took up arms in 1661, that the war was ''awarfor the Union" and for no other purpose : that the agree ment we made with t he Government when we took up arms to defend her against arm ed rebellion is found in the jointresolution of Congress adopted July 22d, 1801, which de clares that '"This war is not prosecuted on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired." This is the bond many sealed with theirlives, and many others signed in blood. 3. Resolved, That the failure of Congress to carry into effect this joint resolution, after the war is over, and to restore Union, "icith u!l the dignity, equality and rights of the several Statics unimpaired." is a gross viola tion of a solemn compact made with the de fenders of the Government at her time of greatest need and peril. , 4. Resolv&l, That we repudiate the action of the radical Congrrss, which is an insult to every officer, soldier and waman who served in the Federal annydnring the rebell ion. I ler policy admits that our victories accomplished what the enemy could not divide the Union and the fruits of our toil and blood-bought victories turn to ashes in their bands. 5. Resolved, Thzt we cordially endorse the restoration policy of President Johnson, as announced in his annua', special and veto message, and as further n.ade known to the country in his treatment of the States lately in rebellion. We believe it to be iust and humane, find better adapted than any other known policy, to restore those States to their constitutional relations to the Linon, and bring renewed peace, happiness and prosper itsto the country. It is in keeping with that generous treatment which a magnani mous victor always extends to a brave foe. 6. Resolved, That the action of Congress in refusme seats to the Senators and Mem bers from the South who boar truealleciance to the Constitution and laws, while that body is encaged in changing the fundamenlal law of the country in an important particular,' is revolutionary Jn its action ; while their con duct in taxing the fcouth without her con sent, strikes at the vital prineiple of consti tutional liberty--lhat there can be no taxa lion without representation.-' 7.'iso?rrcZ."That we are opposed, in ne gro suffrage.- All legislation that has for its object the raising of the negrd to a social or poirticacal equality with the white man, or to make him the pet of the nation, meets our unqualified disapproval. He and hi." friends should be satisfied that the war has given his aim to control the destinies of the country. 8. Resolved, That we return thanks to Almighty God for giving victory to the Fed eral armies over armed insurgents, and we congratulate the country' upon a return of peace. It is as much our duty now to use our best endeavors to heal up the wounds of the rebellion as it was to take up arms in do fence of the Union. 9. Resolved, That we deny that John W. Geary is the Foldiers' candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. He is the choice of the Radicals who are now plotting to destroy the Union we periled our lives to preserve. The men who placed him in nomination and who are.nqw his most active supporters, - repudi ate the object of the war by declaring, the South out of the Union. By accepting their nomination- he assumes - their principles, which violate everything he professed to con tend for in the field, 10. Resolved, That we endorse the nom ination of the lion. Hiester Clymer, Demo cratic Candidate for Governor of Pennsylva nia, because he is a man of integrity, and a statesman of experience, nod approves the fuinciples we advocate. We call upon our ate companions in arms in this State to ral ly to his support, for his election will be an endorsement of the cause for which we fought and bled, while his defeat will be a defeat to the caure of the Union. 11. Resolved, That the Radicals in Con gress, professing to speak for the majority of the people, have recently testified their preference for the negro by appropriating monies to support him in idleness, by the payment to him of a bounty of thre'e hun dred dollars, and .their repudiation of the white soldier and his claims, by the passage of a bounty bill allowing but one hundred dollars to hira, without even a provision ap propriating money for the payment of the same, thus disregarding his faithful and pa triotic services, demonstrates to the country their belief in the assertion that "the negro bears the palm.'! 12. Resolved, That we, the soldiers of Pennsylvania, in Convention assembled, do return our sincere thanks to the Hon. Chas. R. Buckalew and Hon. Edgar Cowan, our representatives in the Senate of the United States, for their noble conduct in sustaining the President's policy of restoration. BrB,. The G EARYelectioneeringdocuments, handed out by the Post Master of this place, would make the Abolition candidate for Gov ernor, the greatest General living a man whom we heard scarcely anything of during the war ! Geary's mi'.itiry record reminds u i of a little etory that Ls told of a would-be- valiant soldier, who, on relating to his Gen eral, after a heavy battle, how well he fought, said : "I came across an enemy, and I-I-cut off both his IcgsT "Well," said his Gen eral, "why did you not cut off his head ?" "Ah, that was cut off before I got to him," said the hero. And that was the way with Geary's battles-they were fought before he got there 1 Foreign Xews. A peace conference is soon to convene at Prague. The basis of negotiations are these : Austria is to pay $10,000,000 to her adversaries as expenses of the war. She is also to withdraw from the German Confederation, and is to give up Venetia and her part of Schelswig-Holstein. The Gercman States, north of the Maine, are to form a union under the guidance of Prusia. The German States south of the Maine are to form an independent union. Martial law has been proclaimed in Austria, Venice, Prussia and Wertemburg. Just previous to tne armistice the Italians were successful. The Austrians losses were very heavy. The Republican in its issue of last week, ppeaking of the President calls him the servant cf the people. Wonder when the editor found it out? He taught all through Lincoln's administration that he, Lincoln, was the Government. Now, Doc tor, it is very bad taste ior you to turn around so soon and declare him the servant of the peopl. But we must make some al lowance for the Doctor, the President not having sustained, him in his office as Asses sor he feels sore. " No doubt had the Presi dent retained him he would, still hold the doctrine that the President is the Govern ment. E- The Tost Master of this place might be considered by many, and properly too, as stepping out-side of his line of duty, when he publishes to the world the circulation of any newspaper delivered at his office for dis tribution. He could as easily justify his ac tion should he announce how many, and to whom, the editor of the Columbian sends letters. ' In exposing the circulation of the Columbian we think he did a very unkind act to those concerned, besides a" thing, we hold, that he had not a particle of right to do. It is no part of his business to make any expositions of that kind in his office. He may have done these Columbian people great injustice by causing them to sustain an irreparable loss in patronage. Dan. don't do that thing again. BSg- What good results have this Radical party produced to the country, if any? Has not even act of their legislation looked more to the interest of the black man than that of the white? Did they not attempt, by a sweeping act of legislation to extend the right of suffrage to the negro throughout the whole country? Are they not the special advocates of social and political equality between the white and black races? L?t the Repvbliean try its hand in answering these questions, al'ter which we will propound a fow more. JC-o?" There is a great hesitancy on the part of many Democrats a.s regards the good re sults that are to come from the Philadel phia Convention. From the experience of the last five 3'ears it behooves us to use a great deal of caution in our moves on the political chess-board. We sincerely hope that the action of the Convention vriH be such as we can endorse. We shall wait and see. t? It is the "wish of President Johnson, and Post Master General Randall to have every Radical disunion Tost-mastcr in the country turned out of office. Democrats choose your men for these offices and let there be a general cleaning out. "Let just ice be done though the Heavensfall." "God said, let there be light ami there was light." - Read Judge Black's great letter to the Rev. Doctor Neviij, which we , publish on our out-side tliis week. It should be sufficient to filence erery rcd-moutlwl polit ical priest in the land. Judge Black is cr- idently the ablest atrd most fearless Denio-' crat in the State.
