batthey arc indisposed to accept such

even arrogant rejection of the proposed
amendments of the NationakConstitution
true and patriotic citizens aud statesmen to
be too mild and generous.
They have, however, been fully' considered
by the people during the late election?, and
approved by majorities- so large as to give
them a sanction which it would be improper
to either overlook or disregard. And cer
tainly,' in view of this fact, none of tho late
rebel States should he admitted to their for
mer "practical relations" to the General
Government, while they continue to oppose
those amendments.
To the Congress of the United States the
heartfelt sympathies and overwhelming suf
frages of the people have been generously
given. T They have fearlessly proclaimed
their unequivocal "Well" done, good and
faithful servants." Upon the deliberations
and actions pf congress our present interest
and future welfare depend. In its firmness
and courage the whole experiment of gen
uine republicanism is indlsolubly involved.
That this firmness and courage will be fully
exhibited by its controlling majorities, in the
origination and adoption of measures of wis--dom
and discretion, even more radical and
decisive, if necessary, than those of the past,
I entertain no doubt. Such measures will
meet with my cordial npproval. And I
may well add, that while Pennsylvania will
confide in a loyal Congress, she will not hes

and power. '
That in tho administration of the Govern

mind; but as I enter upon the discharge of
my responsible duties with a firm resolution
to act with honesty and impartiality, I trust
my 'errors will be regarded with charity and
treated with the gentleness of magnani
mous forgiveness.
And I earnestly hope that my intercourse
.with my fellow citizens of the Senate and
House of Representatives will be no frank
and cordial,- that our duties to a common
constituency will be pleasantly and fuithfully
- discharged. Different branches of the Gov
ernment as we are, with distinctive duties,
we are nevertheless parts of one organized
and. well regulated system, and as we co-op-crate
or disagree, tho interests of the State
will be promoted or retarded. Elected by

on the 29th of January, for the purpose of
making the arrangements preparatory to the

3- Jo. Holt, Gen. Hunter and their fel
low conspirators stand before the world with
tho mark of Cain branded deep into their
foreheads murderers ! The solemn and
unanimous decision of the highest tribunal
in the land asserts this, in declaring military
commissions for the trial of civilians illegal
and unconstitutional. This is a fact, and
the individual that ever doubted it, knows
but little about the Constitution it is one o
its plainest provisions. The lynching and
murder of a fellow creature on the Western
border is no more illegal and criminal than
the murder of Mrs. Surratt by Holt, Stan
ton & Co. Their transactions for the past
five years will bo a terrible record for the
historian to place on the page of history, am
... .. .....
at me same time state tnat these men were
professed Christians, and had a plain writ
ten code to guide and control them, under
the solemn obligations of an oath. Jo. Holt
and Ed. Stanton pronounced murderers by
a co-ordinate branch of the Government!
No wonder the lesser dogs who have been
engaged in similar murderous transactions
feel an unpleasant twitching below the cars,
and raise a howl against the tribunal that
has branded them with eternal infamy.

Judge SrALDixo, of Ohio, one of
the leading radical members of Congress,
made a speech the other day, on the floor
of the House, in which he handled Thad.
Stevens without gloves. Judge Spalding
insisted that the understanding during the
late campaign, was, that if the "out-standing"
States accepted the Constitutional
Amendment they would be entitled to rep
resentation. Mr. Stevens denied this, and
said he would never voto to admit another
State which did not give its negroes tho
right to vote. Mr. Spalding also eulogized
the administrative abilities of Secretaries
McCulIoch and Welles, and opposed the im
pcachmcnt of the President. It is said that
Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, will follow the ex
ample of Judge Spalding. Now, to which
wing of the Kadical party will you attach

all this weary , and sickening - work, that the

only seven votes in a poll of eighty-one, is
undisguisedly a serious rebuke to this de

extremities with a degree of dexterity not to

Even members from Stevens' own District
refused to vote for him. Exit Stevens and

As for Cameron, the newly elected Sena

of political corruption may be imputed to

its enemies, will resist their hellish niacin

It is a wonder that this item was not $24,
500. We suspect, however, that the bal
ance Is -sliced out under some other name, so
that the child would not be recognized by
the taxpayers. Why the civil expenses
should be increased $53,000 over last year,
we hve not yet had time to examine. We
observe that the Surveyor General's office,
which the loyalists talked of abolishing, has
cost the taxpayers $20,000 $3,000 more
than last year, when in Democratic hand'1.
We presume it will not be abolished now,

The Senatorship.
The great struggle between Curtin, Cam
eron and Stevens, for the United States
Sonatorship is at last at an end, and Cameron
is triumphant. The old "Winnebago"
played his cards well, and has been reward
ed with the object of his aspirations for many
years. Curtin, chagrined and humbled,
will now retire, unenvied, to private life in
jjeiieionie, ana ctevens, wan nate in his
soul, will resume his seat in the Rump
Ilonse of Representatives. Although Dom
ocrats despise Cameron, believing he is less
capable to promote evil than Stevens be
cause he has less ability and knowing that
whenever it becomes necessary to the suc
cess of a democratic nieasnre for the demo
cratic party to own him, his politics idJl b
all right, they prefer to see him the Senator.
But, great Heavens I what an awful farce it
is, and what a perversion of the true intent
of the founders of our form of government
to clothe with the senatorial toga the out
ward semblance of a man like Simon Cam
eron. ' r ' '
Rut it would have be worse still with
Stevens, and as for Curtin he has lost the
respect of his own party and earned tho
everlasting contempt of ours. Therefi jre,
of the three villains, although Simon is
probably the greatest scoundrel, he will un
doubtedly mako the safest Senator. Conse
quently, if we acton the principle that out of
several evils wc niu-t choose the lca.-t, we
will endeavor to bo satisfied that this exceed
ingly bad choice is no worse.
But :Good Lord," whatbody the high
er branch of our natianal Legislation is get
ting to be! Gradually but surely it is com
ing down to the bawdy-houso level of the
House of Representatives, and it will not
stop even there, if many Rich men as Cam
eron are gent to ocupy seats within its cham
ber. But for the present we forbear, only
thanking Heaven that, mean and low as he
is, he may be one degree less base than
Stevens. Clinton Democrat.
"Impartial Suffrage" is a monstrous

Magna Charta from tyrant John, could
neither read nor write: and thousands of
the pioneers who redeemed the West from
its native savages and barren wildncss, and
trained it into a garden, could neither read
norwnte: lo disfranchise such men and
enfranchise negroes would be a monstrous
villainy. The South will not adopt this
humbug under any circumstances. Crisis.
