Maj.-Gen. J U UN W. G E A RY.
Editorial Corrcs;ioiideiice.
Washington, March 17, 1SG6.
Wo propose to continue our notice of
distinguished members of Congress this
week; and bhall commence this letter
with a short biography of lion. James G.
Rlairte. Jlr. Blaine waa born in Wash
ington' county, Penna., in 1830, and is
therefore thirty-fix years of age. llis
paternal grandfather, Col. Ephraim Blaice,
of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was a distin
guished officer of the Kevolutionary War.
It will be seen that he comes of a good
stock, and light manfully does ho main
tain the sterling patriotism of his distin
guished ancestor. Mr. Blaine entered
Vnshingtou College when but a lad, and
gradualed in 1847. On leaving College,
lie siudied law, but we believe he did not
practice that profession long, as we soon
find him in the editorial fraternity. On
his removal from Pennsylvania to Maine,
in" 1854, the same year, and we believe
the same month that we removed from
Maino to Pennsylvania, he became the
loading editor of the Kennebec Journal,
the editorial chair of which was once
filled by that well known and able jour
nalist, Luther Severance. Mr. Blaine
afterwards edited the Portland Dady Ad
vertiser. As a newspaper writer, he has
not many equals, and but few superiors ;
and had he continued in tho profession, he
would soon have attained to the very fore
most rank of political writers. lie was
for some four or five years a member of
the Maino Legislature, and was twice
elected Speaker of that body. In this
position he gave eminent satisfaction to
all parties, always discharging the duties
of the nffice with ability and impartiality.
"Mr. Blaine made his first appearance in
the National Legislature as a member of
the Thirty-eighth Congress; and was re
turned by even a larger majority to the
Thirty-ninth, and should his life be spared,
will continue to be returned, if he desire
it, till his fellow citizens shall call him to
other end higher poiitious. lie takes a
high rank in the House, has a clear and
a!nott perfect knowledge cf the rules and
orderp, bd accurate appreciation and un
derstanding of parliamentary laws, is a
ready and able debater, and seemj to pos
sess an almost intuitive perception of
every question that comes before Con
gress. Ilia knowledge of men, and of
public measures both iu the past and the
present, is truly wonderful ; and this use
ful information, which is the result,
doubtless, cf much study and reflection,
tnves him great power. He has a clear,
keen, analytical mind, which enables him
at once to comprehend questions that to
other minds require protracted examina
tion and study. Mr. Blaine is in the
prime of life, with a future before him of
which any joung-man might well be
proud. Great eminence, as a public man
and statesman, he is sure to attain, if he
move on in the orbit in which God and
liis own exertions havo placed him. lie
gives every indication that he is master
of the situation. He is the author of the.
amendment to the Constitution changing
the basis of representation, kuown to the
country as the "Blaine Amendment,"
which passed by moro than a two-thirds
vote, and only lacked two votes of the
requisite number in the Senate. Mr.
Blaino resides in the beautiful city of
Augusta, Maine, the capital of the State,
where he'ia universally respected and
esteemed.
There is another member of this House,
who, perhaps, ou account of his position,
we should have noticed at first, and more
at length than we can now do in this con
nection. We mean Hon. Schuyler Col
fax, the Speaker both of the Thirty-eighth
and Thirty-ninth Congress. Of Mr. Col
tax's early life, we know but little, but
his public career is before' the country,
and the world; and it is such as does
honor tj himself, and is immensely valu
able to his country and to mankind. He
has always been found on the side of
light, of liberty, and of justice. His
fellow citizens all have confidence in him
not only iu his ability, but in his in
tegrity, his honesty, and hia steadfast ad
herence to true principles. Whoever of
pur public men or statesmen may fail U3
u tho trial's hour, it will uot be Schuyler
Coila. As the Speaker of the National
House of Representatives', he is thorough.
Jv ut home. J J is uniform politeness, good
nature and impartiality, as well as his in
timate and accurate knowledge of parlia
mentary law, make him one of the most
prompt and useful Speakers that the na
tion ever had. The Speaker's chair of
the II case of Representatives may Jiave
been graced by men of more brilliancy
than Mr. Colfax, but in all respects, no
one has filled it who could set up a just
claim to be the superior of the present
occupant. We should judge Mr. Colfax
to be about forty-two years of ago. He
is not, we believe, a graduate of any col
lege, but received his early training in
the Common aud Select Schools cf our
country. Most people are of the opinion
that Mr. Colfax is a lawyer, but he never
practised that profession. He is familiar,
however,- with all the elementary princi
ples of law, having read Blackstone and
other writers upon Common Law as much
and , understandingly, perhaps, a? many
who are" in the practice of the legal pro
fession. v lie commenced when a mere
boy, as we understand, to write for news
papers, and may be set down as belonging
to the editorial corps. In private and
public life, he stands without a taint; in
deed,, his character is abovo reproach or
even suspicion. He has a brilliant career
before him.
The Voice oi" lle People.
In precipitating upon Congress and the
country the quarrel that lately threatened
the disruption of the Union party, the
President declared his intention of firmly
adhering to his designated line of policy
unless it should meet with the disappro
bation of the people. A month has passed
since then, and the people in various parts
of the country have spoken, once by their
own lipp, and on several occasions through
their chosen representatives. Immedi
ately after the disruption between the
President and the Legislative branch of
the government, the chief organ of the
President, the N. Y. Times, as also all
the minor keys used in sounding the
Chief Magistrate's notes of reconstruction,
7
delighted m proclaiming that the majority
of the people were against the majority i-n
Congress, and that the two-thirds of the
House and the nearly two-thirds in the
Senate were a faction opposed to the
pacification of the country, without the
good thereof at heart, and intent on the
disruption of that Union they had done
so much to save.
rsew Hampshire has been the first io
speak through the immediate agency of
the ballot box, and seeing that tho Gran
ite State has never been overly anxious to
sit at the feet of Massachusetts and accept
her political teaching, and not altogether
forgetting that the virulent Democratic
conglomerate, itching from head to foot
for victory, made the greatest possible use
of the cry of "Johnson !" "Johnson V and
the "President's policy," and a "restored
and once more harmonious Union," the
result in that State is gratifying in the
highest degree, and should send a thrill
of joy ecstatic to all who wish to have
proper guarantees of good faith from those
whose hands and skirts are red with the
blood of the fallen. Five thousand major
ity out of a total vote of seventy thousand
will do for New Hampshire.
The next voice is from Indiana. Two
conventions met in that State, one com
posed of men who?s valor saved the Uuion,
the other of the Copperhead Democracy.
The former gave its voice against the
admission "of unwashed rebels into the
Congressional Halls, to take part in leg
islating for the country they sought to
destroy, and the other for their immediate
admission and against a prohibitory, or in
other words, protective tariff. Indiana
has spoken before, and she will speak
again, but not for playing the crab and
going backwards, hs some still say is the
practice of that animal. Pennsylvania,
through two conventions, has lifted up her
voice. The one, the ' voice of the true
Union men, headed by the gallant Gen.
John W. Geary, and the other of the true
anti-wav, Copperhead-Democratic men,
headed by Heister Clymer, an opponent
of the war, iis measures and results. The
former says to Mr. Johnson: "In the past
you have been a very patriotic man, a very
true man ; you have done much and suf
fered much for your country, and stood
firm when all around you faltered. For
this we admired you and made you Vico
President, but if you intend now to use
your influence in favor of rebels who hate
us and you, we will work against you just
as we havo hitherto labored for you."
The other says : "Mr. Johnson, we do not
like to endorse ycu, but we'll shout till our
throats are sore for what you have recent
ly done and say coining about your devo
tion to the war for the Union, and if you
still coutiuue to progrcs?, maybe wo will
endorse you."
Turning from Pennsylvania to Tennes
see, Col. W, B. S okes, elected Representa
tive to Congress, but kept froni his scat
by the radical majority, said iu a speech
made io Nashville :
"I am again on my way to Washington, to
help the Union men to restore law and order.
I am regardless who deviates to the right pr
to the left. If some men choose to go astray,
even if they be high in authority, 1 hayc ta
ken no oath to follow them. Your friends in
Washington are the Union men in Congress.
Sometimes they are termed Radicals. I don't
care by what name you call them. I can be
called a Radical as easily as I was called a
Lincolnite and Abolitionist in .1801. The
Radicals are your friends, I repeat. Some of
them are a little extreme in some of their
views, but still you remember that these
Union men are the ones who saved our Gov
ernment in, 18CI, when it .required all the
energy and courage of man to meet the dread
ful crisis. Are they not the men whom' you
should trust now with the reins of Govern
ment ?"
In view of these voices, there is a
changed tono among those who so lately
styled the Congressional majority, fresh
from the people, a faction bent on fanata
cism, discord,- and disunion. We no
longer have constantly rung in our . ears
that "the country is with the President."
The words meant, that (excluding the
blacks of the South from the computation)
the reconstructed and non-reconstructed
rebels of the South, the sham Democracy
of the North, plus the small minority of
the Union party, made the majority of the
country. The kisses of the Democracy
seem to have proven too "wanton, and
their bought smiles too suggestive of the
indignant verdicts of the loyal North
given during the past five years upon the
paramours of Slavery, whoso illegitimate
offspiing was gory treason. Things look
better. The sky is clearer, and bodes no
storm, nor scarcely a squall.
Our llarrisbur? Letter:
IIarrisburg, March 14, 1S0G.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
Owing to causes over which I had no
control, I wa3 unable to furnish you a
letter in time for its insertion in this
week's issue. The only amende! can now
make is to forward you a double
ply for your next.
sup-
The Legislation of last week was on a
meagre scale, having been interrupted by
the convening of two State Conventions;
tho Copperhead on the 5th ii.st., and the
Republican Union on the 7th. The most
important measure acted . upon finally in
the Legislature was th passage of a bill
in the Senate (it having previously passed
the House) giving the privilege to the
Philadelphia and Eric Railroad to extend
branches from its main trunk, in any di
rcctiou and in any number the company
might think propor. ' This bill has since
been vetoed by the Governor, on the
ground that its provisions gave a monop
oly to the company in the extending of
branches into the undeveloped regions
North and South of the P.- & E. lilt..
thereby shutting out individual enterprise
In this connection, I should state that the
passage of - the bill, in the Senate, was
strenuously and eloqusntly opposed by your
Senator,Hon. Harry White. There will,
no doubt, be a bill proposed yet, before the
cud of the Session, that will meet the
approval of the Governor, aud which will
place the company aud privatP enterprise
on the same looting.
Now for the Conventions. As I have
already stated, the first in order was. that
of the Democratic-Copperhead party, lu
advance of its assembling, little or no ex
citement was manifested, owing, as I sup
pose, to the fact that it was considered,
by the knowing ones, to be a contest .for
martyrdom and not victory. Indeed, few
of the enlightened of the Northern repre
sentatives of the Sluvcocraey of the South
have any idea of success in the coming
Gubernatorial campaign. With what show
of reason can it be urged, that the chances
for them arc better now than they were
three 'ears ago? Then, the war was un
determined ; the people were told, that it
never would, and moreover that it never
could, be brought to a successful termina
tion, as against secession, by the National
Administration then in power. The fal
sity of these declarations has since been
proven to a demonstration. The war has
been terminated, by a glorious and tri
umphant vindication of the right by a
victory over an unhallowed conspiracy to
destroy a Government acknowledged to be
a model, alter which all nations might
copy to the benefit of maekind by a suV
taining of the National Flag, which the
Slaveocracy of the South sought to tram
ple in the dust by crowning our veter
ans, who so nobly fought, aud many of
whom so nobly died, with a never-fading
wreath for a heroic valor compared with
which history presents no' comparison.
Uuder these circumstances, who can con
clude that Heister Clymer, the standard
bearer of a party ignominiously defeated
three years ago, cau now be chosen the
Chief 'Magistrate of a State which was
represented in the field, during the . war,
by some three hundred thousand of her
sons ? No ! No ! They may talk as
they please, but tbey feel it in their heart
of hearts, that the people of Pennsylvania
are not going to reverso in I860, their
decision ot 18G3.
Two days after the dissolution cf the
conclave of Northern representatives of
the unterrified Southern feeling, we had
a very different exhibition. The loyal
men of the State sent up their agents to
speak and act for them. The men who
had stood by the Union for four long years
of war and blood, exercised the right of
publishing to the world how they felt on
the momentous questions of the day, and i
whom they desired to bo their leader in
the 'coining political campaign. Never,
since the organization of the State Gov- !
ernment, was so much interest manifested j
at a State nominating convention. Not
only was there a fu!l representation of
delegates, but thousands of the citizens of
the Old Keystone, who desired to witness
the selecting of a candidate who would
personify the loyal sentiment of Pennsyl
vania, came with banners flying and music
telling of triumph which will perch upon
our standard.
-The Union Convention was remarkable,
not only as to numbers, but aa to intelli
gence aud respectability. The names of
several distinguished gentlemen were
presented to the Convention, but the
contest narrowed down to a choice between
Maj. General John W. Geary and W. W.
Ketchum. At a very early stage in the
proceedings, it became apparent that it
was Ihe determination of ths Convention
to manifest its sympathy with and for
those who had risked everything for the
Flag and the Union. The kindliest feel
ings were expressed for Mr. Ketchum,
personally and politically. His devoted
patriotism, his acknowledged intellectual
ability, his purity of character, were gain
said by none. It seemed to be a sponta
neous outburst of all, to give utterance to
their admiration for the man. Rut the
loyal people of the State had spoken, in
their primary meetings, that they wished
to do honor to the soidier, who, when the
tocsin of alarm was sounded, hastened to
the rescue to the man of known practi
cal ability and superior administrative
qualities to one whose private character
has never been sullied by a dishonorable
act to him whose patriotism ha3 never
been brought into question. The sound
Democratic doctiine embraced in the
motto, " the majority should rule," con
trolled the action of the Convention and
led to the nomination of Maj. General
John W. Geary on the first ballot; he re
ceiving eighty-one votes of the one hun
dred and thirty-three cast. The marked
compliment of such a nomination, made
by a party that now controls all branches
ot the National and State Governments,
was most sensibly felt by General Geary.
His speech addressed to tho Convention
gives evidence of a kind and grateful
heart, and is in good taste. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed in ana" out of the
Convention an enthusiasm that gives
positive assurance of success at the polls.
Gen. Geary will be elected by an unpre
cedented majority. His administration
will be- an honest one, and fearless in
maintaining the true principles ot repub
lican government. Rut what need ot my
writing more inflation to the candidate
of the Union party, when I reflect that I
am writing for the organ of that party, in
a county in which a large majority of its
citizens know him as well as myelf. He
commanded her sons on the battle fields
of Mexico, and many of them in the late
war 'against rebellion. I feel confident
Cambria will endorse him ou the second
Tuesday of October next.
Having written somewhat at length on
the subject of the Conventions and the
respective candidates placed in nomina
tion, I have a few words to say, that might
appropriately come .under the captiou,
" PtrsonuU' I had the pleasure of meet
ing several of your citizens In Ilarrisburg,
during the week. Among the firnt, as
Hon. A. A. Darker,- your representative
iu Congress. He looked remarkablv well.
and gave a most cordial
crrcetin'r
to hie
many friends here, who sought tho oppor
tunity of taking him by the hand. Of
couise theje can be no doubt of his rc
nomination, and just as little of his re
election. I as most happy to "stumble
upon" Major Jauie.' D. Hamilton, your
Representative delegate in the Conven
tion. AH acknowledge that Hamilton is
one of the best hearted ot God's own no
blemen. He having a habit of " attend
ing to one thing at a time," we outsiders
?aw little of him during tho sitting of
the Convention, but, after the adjourn
ment sine die, we took possession ot him.
When compelled to leave for hom2, we
parted with regret.
A. C. Mullin, Esq., the admired of all
admirers of genial, true-hearted and up
right gentleman, came up from the city
of brotherly love to meet his friends and
" tako them by the hand and look en
dearment.'' We do not wish his visits to
be " like angel's, few and far between."
Yours, Truly.
IIarrtsburo, March 19, 1SGG.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
The Hall of the IIou6 is quiet this
morning, that boierous body, "the Rep
resentatives, haviug adjourned over on
Friday until half-past seven this evening.
In consequence of this the members and
borers haviug nearly al! gone home to en
joy a short spell ot domestic feiicity, or
to the city for special amusement the
capital is dull, and very little occurs to
mo oat of which to make up a letter in
which either you or your readers can be
particularly interested. However, I will
do tho best I can, and with this you must,
perforce, be satisfied ; or at least you must
submit.
Since the Gubernatorial candidates of
the respective parties were put iu the
field, tho public mind has calmed down
very little is said on either fide but the
leading men who are to have charge ot t lie
operations of the campaign are quietly,
but industriously, preparing facts, fiction,
statistics, in short every engine necessary
to' carry on n campaign of unusual vigor.
I am afraid it will also be acrimonious ;
for I never knew -a period and my
knowledge cover nearly two score years
when hostile feeling ran higher,, or
more determination .to win success was
evinced. My daily intercourse with the
most iutelligent Republicans, member j of
the Legislature and .visitors from almost
every section of the State, enables me to
state positively that no doubt is entertain
ed of the election of Gen.- Geary, and that
by a triumphant and unprecedented ma
jority. Of this result ail are sanguine;
but -.-vertheless all intelligent Republi
cans perceive the necessity of perfect or
ganization ad unceasing activity and
vigilance. Many a battle has been lost by
that overweening confidence which besets
carelessness and negligence ; dud j" an
army possessing all the elements ut
strength, numbers, arms, zeal and cour
age lias boeu surprised by a fo3 inferior
in all these, but vigilant and strictly dis
ciplined, and routed at the very moment
officers and troops felt most confident; of
easy victory. Such a misfortune as this
the Republican leaders should, and I have
no doubt will guard against ; for, however
confident we may feel of success, it cannot
be denied that the Democracy are, appa
rently, equally so; and we know them
well enough to bo certain that not a sol
dier'on that side will be caught sleeping
at his post, nor an officer negligent of his
duty. They are going to fight a battle
for life. They know well enough if they
lose, now that they appesr to have the
silent approbation, if'not the active influ
ence, ot President Johnson with them,
that their prestige will be iott for years,
if not forever; and, therefore, you will
find them moving forward in the contest
shoulder to shoulder, solid and firm as
the Macedonian phalanx, and as deter
mined to conquer us Alexander himself.
Such an enemy, so bold, so united, so
active and so unscrupulous, is hoc to be
despised ; and I warn our Republican
frieuds everywhere throughout the State
to buckle ou their armor in time to
watch, and act, and never, from this time
forward, to feel sanguiue of success until
it is icon by the overthrow of " Heister Cly
mer and his disloyal legions at the polls.
What a pity that Andy Johnson has
made a goose of himself. He may talk
to u maudlin crowd about "dead duoks,"
but it he dgn't prove to be a defunct gan
der nt the cud of his presidential term,
then I will confess myself to he neither a
prophet nor the son of - a prophet. O,
what a golden opportunity to make his
name gloriously immortal he threw away
when he deserted the party of freedom,
and threw himself into the arms of men
who, one year ago, would have nailed him
to che cross and mocked his dying agonies.
I can scarcely yet realize his treason and
yet "'tis true, aud pity 'tis 'tis true."
We : must accept the fact as he haschjsen
to declare it ; aud while we cannot but
wonder at the perversity of mind and lack
of moral stamina which caused his pluuge
into the gulf from which for him there is
no egress, we may congratulate ourselves
that his defection is uot fatal to those
wloiu he has betrayed; that the Republi
can party is founded on a base of livin"
principles; that it possesses tho confidence
and heart of the country; and that, in
spite of defection and disloyalty, it will
stand like a wall of adamant, proof against
every assault, and will continue to triumph
to go on "conquering and to conquer,"
as long as freedom is the battle cry of the
country and liberty is cherished by the
people as an inestimable blessdng. This
is our consolation, and it is one ot "which
we canuot be deprived by the hollow
hearted shouts of Democratic demagogues,
who love the treason but despite the man.
There was quite an interesting exhibi
tion in the hall of the House ou Friday
afternoon an exhibition touching to tho
heart and pleasing to the eye. I allude
to the exhibition of some two or three
hundred pupils from tho schools recently
established for ti e instruction and train
ing of orphans of the soldiers and sailors
who fell in the recent rebellion. They
made quite a creditable appearance, and,
considering the-short time they have beeu
under instruction, acquitted themselves in
a very creditable manner. May this good
work, and all of a similar character, flour
ish as they should in our good old, patri
otic Commonwealth.
Snow commenced falling early this
morning, and there is a fine prospect of
good sleighing before evening, if it con
tinues to come down as thick and fast as
it now does, 12 m. Tours, Truly.
