VOLUME 4. Jltistgllaneflns. The Democratic Indictment. The leading features of the platforra resolutions of the late State Oonvontior «112 the Democratic party of Pennsylva nia is what may be ternwd an indict ment of the Republican party for offen -ces alleged to have been committed bj the dominant majority in the last Con gress. A» the record of that Congrest has been di«cu»sed over and over again in the press and elsewhere, it Beems like an old story to speak of the matter again But the Democratic indictment does so It tells us that wo have "overthrown the Constitution.'. We thought that wc were still governed by that charter ol liberty, and we were rather strengthen ed in the belief by the incessant appeals ■of Democrats to that charter to hem them out in their partisan views. W< were under the impression that accord ing to that charter we were Buffering from the abominations of a Democrats administration after wo had elected a Republican President, and supposed we had also chosen a Republican Vice Pros ident. We really thought that undor the pro icction of the Constitution Jefferson Da vis had been let loose on bail, and the Indiana rebels set free because they had been tried by a court-martial, and the test oath nulified by the Supreme Court, and John 11. Surratt allowed a civil trial and the ordinary rules of procedure ap plied to the rebel attempts to upset the executive authority in the south. Sc strong has been the public belief that tho Constitution is still triumphant thai the pending amendment to that iustru rnent, though overwhelmingly adopted -by Congress and the loyal States, is ye I not considered a part of tho Constitu tion, becanso it has not bceu ratified bj .the Secretary of State. If, however tho Constitution be everthrown, why all the stru/gle over that amendment ? On closer examination, however, we are inclined to think that the Democrat ic Convention meant lo charge us with overthrowing tho Constitution in a Pick wickian sense. They consider it over thrown for partisan electioneering effeel iu their own ranks, but iu lull force tc restrain tho Republicans at every step In this respect they very much rosemblt the rebels, who made war to destroy the nation itself, Constitution and all, and then come back prating of being do prived of tlioir "constitutional rights.' In the same sense we must hoi J the charge that wc have ' dismembered the Union." Wc made war to prevent that very thing- Wo succeeded in keeping tho whole nation together, and cow we arc told that we have dismembered it.— Worse still, it seems, according to this platform, that we have "subverted ro publican government." Do tell us bow when, where ? At the close of the wai no Congress was in session, and conse quently the Republicans in that bod) could not have subverted anything lir.ti they met in December. Tho govern ments of the coiHjucred States were sub verted by Andrew Johnson, now hoad ol the Democratic party, of his own will, upon no authority whatever, und with uc Republicans aiding. We might here stop and ask attention to the cool assurance of these charges, weie it not that tho people are aocus' tonied to this sort of reckless audacity from Democratic conventions. The very party that fomented rebellion to destroy the Constitution, the Union and republi can government, deliberately charges the offence against the party that thwarted its schemes, that saved the Constitution the Union and the republican govern ment, and lias given them to the pooplo better, purer, stranger and grander than ever. As lor republican government,the thing at the simth bearing that name wat au imposition. It w;ts an oligarchical government and nothing e'se. The poo pie had no power there, and never could have had auy undor such n system. Our reconstruction bills secure truly republi can governments to every una of the ten ocnr[Ucrbd States, based upon impartial suffrage. It tho Constitution be over thrown becauso it no longer tolerates slavery, and because, iu fact, it now pro hibits that iniquity, then the Democrat-, io statement is true. If tho Constitu tion is overthrown because rebels nre not allowed to march back triumphantly into Congress with colors flying and drums beating, boasting of their deeds of blood in tho cause of treason, persecuting southoru loyalty as a high offence, and prepared, by holding the Senate power> less and backed by the President, to prevent all progress at msooustruotion, then, indeed, is the Democratic state ment true. If the Constitution is over-< thrown bocause States containing twelve millions of people are uo longer allow ed to be governed liespotioally by a mi nority of 800,000 persons, according te their owu interests, policy uud views, then again our opponents are correct iu raying so. If the Constitution is over thrown because four millions ol human imiugs are no longer deprived of civil and political rights in a legal manner te defend themselves and the cause of the Union agaiust oligarchs, outlaws, rebel; and traitors, then again do we say the Democrats aro right. Wc plead guilty to the indietment on those conditions,an J on none other. If our Dciuooratic op ponents are anxious to accept tho issue on such a basis, Y.e should be glad to be infprmcd of the fact. Have we dismembered the Union be cause we prevepted tho rebel States from rendering their secession final add effee tive,-ond actually dragged them back again by main force ? llavo we dismem bered tho Uiiiuu bocause wc have added A MERICAN CITIZEN. fonr now free States to tbo national or> ray in defiance of Democratic resistance, by admitting Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska, and West Virginia ? Have we dismem bered the Union because we reorganized Tennessee as a State the moment we had reconquered it.and so soon as wo could feel certain of its loyalty, restored it to its place in Congress ? Have we dis membered the Union because wo preven ted the State authorities of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri from consumraa. ting measures of secession and rebellion, and succeeded in keeping them regular ly on with us? Have wo disfnembered the Union because we reorganized loyal governments in Arkansas, Louisiana and Virginia in the midst of the war, and have held the people of those States to those governments on the return of peace? Have we dismembered the Union be cause we demand that the recovered States shall not get into Congross on* tirely controlled by rebels ? Have wo dismembered the Union bccauso wo are not prepared to abandon the freedmen and the southern loyalists to tho rebel 9 under such circumstances ? We should be glad to have an answer to these ques tions, and if the Democratic party is ready togo before the public on such issues, we certainly shall not shrink from the contest. We may say here that we are rather pleased to find the struggle in this State restored to its proper uation'il importance and not restricted to local issues. We call the attention of our readers to the fact that this Democratic platform virtu ally appeals to the riationol record of the two patties, and thus brings up the whole history of the civil war, i's autc cedents, its events, and its consequences. Now that the issue has been made, the Ilepublijans will be found unanimously prepared for it. Of all others this is the very one we could most have desir ed, aud assuredly if we caunot maintain ourselves on ground so strong we deserve to faiL Did wo subvert republican govern ment by abolishing slavery, forever pro\ bibiting it, and making the slaves men and citizens instead of chattels ? Did wo subvert republican government by securing civil rights to the freedmen, so that they might becomo freemen, in fact as well as in name, that they might have equality before the law, immunity from outrage; injustice aud partial legislation intended to oppress and degrade them ? Did we subvert republican government by securing to the majority of the peo» pie of the conquered States the right of suffrage and the right of self-govern ment ? Did wc subvert republican gov* crnmcnt by r.fasing tj acknowl'de the validity ol organizations established by the President, by no authority in him vested, upon the ruins of State govern ments, which ho himself overthrew, and controlled by tho same evil elements that had distracted the country and produced tho rebellion ? I'id we subvert republi can government by opening the public lands at the south ro entry, by freedmen and poor whites, under the Homestead bill? These are pertinent questions needing an aaswer. Let them be used everywhere in this canvass, to put to the test the men who have g)ne into the struggle on such a platform as that fram ed by the Democratic Convention. This platform charges the Republican Congress also with a long series of usur pations, and upou about the same basis that it made the other charges against us. As to these "usurpations," wo would re mark that Congress has no possible chance of. wielding czhcutive power,and consequently no oppoitunity of usurpa tion, because all its acts arc liable to rei view by tho Supremo Court or nonen forcement by the administrative depart ments. Uuless, therefore, Congress acts within the line of its legitimate autliori-, ty, it has no means of enforcing its man dates, and they remain null and void. Curiousiy enough, the offences specified iu this indictment as constituting - the usurpations of Congress arc all acts with in the strict liue of its regular coustitu-' tional action. The ''denial" of repre sentation to the rebel States was the act of those States themselves. They form ally withdrew, passed acts ol secession aud reuiaiued unrepresented lor four years. Tho war decided that they should I not be allowed to secede, aud as the ! States were to bo represented it remain* ! ed for Congress, the only legislative pow er of the republic, to decide how and in what manner the representation shfulil bo obtained. This power arises from tho facto, first, that the State governments had committed suicide by the act of re l hellion, and second that President John, son had substituted irregular and unlaw ful usurpations of his own. Congress has fixed the terms of representation,and consequently the assertion iu reference to a denial is a fraud. As to treating these conquered States as subjugated provinces, were they not such ? Did they come back voluntarily, or were they dragged back ? No man in his senses can believe that they were aught else than subjugated provinces.— Their li State riguis" had perished iu the war. They have as yet no lawful gov ernments, aud uuless we would resigu theiu to anarchy we must govern them by military force uutil they shall be re constructed according to law. Congress did not make this state of things. It resulted from the war. Nor do tho south ern people regard tho military govern* ment as oppressive. On the contrary, they know that it gives them the tdess iugs of order, common justice, and pro tection from outrage. Tho military au thority rested there because of the re cent terrible rebellion, and no one could regard it as safe to trust tho country with out sueh a guard. Moreover, it is no ex traordinary force, but the regular army "Let us have Faith that Right makes Might; and in that Faith let us, to the end, dare to do our' duty as we understand it"— A - LINCOLN. BUTLER, BUTLER COUNTY, I'ENN'A, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1867. of the republic in time of peace, which should be there just as touch as any where else. Remaining where it oon quered, this army garrisons the conquer<• ed territory because there is no other government yet provided by the con quering power, except that worked out by the reconsideration. It is rather fun ny to see Congress charged in this in dictment with "resistance to the authori ty of civil tribunals, and their overthrow by the substitution of military commis sion! for the trial of undefined offences," when we know that Congress never did anything of the kind; that the acta re fcrred t» were those of the Executive, -mid not within tho line of Coßgression' al action at all. It is still more amusing to find one cccntof the indictment to be the mere threat ftf "impeachment when tho Constitution vests in Congress the power of impeachment it-elf. ~ howTONG? John Hampden and his friends found at last that Charles I.was a liar. Souie veraoity is essential to human affairs, but Charles showed that he had no percep tion of honor or pood faith. Whether he signed a paper, or pledged his word, or swore a solemn oath, his conduct was the same. The moment lie thought that he could safely forswear himself he did not hesitate at the meanest falsehood.— And when he had fully proved his un exceptional falsity the l J arlimentary lead ers resolved not to trust him again, aud to seek some surer foundation of Euglish liberty than the word of a common por jurer. Andrew Johnson, without the same duplicity as the Kuglisli King, is guilty of the same weakness. When Charles assented to tho Petition of ltight he ar.n cooled his hostility to it and it was sup posed to be a final pacification because it was believed that he would execute it in its owu spirit. When tho President re ceived tho Military bill he did not pre tend to like it, but when, despite his op position, it became a law, he was bound to execute it accor ling to it# clear inten tion. He began in that spirit. He ap pointed military commanders who were acceptable to those who had made the law, and who were very sure to execute it as they meant it. The result was an instant cessation of the tumult of leeliug in the Southern States, general and happy conviction every where of a speedy return of tho normal condition of the country, the reviving of trade, there sumption of industry, aud universal pac iu -atiou. And as a consequence of this agreeable prospect, and this truce of par. ty contention, there was a reaction of feel ing in favor of the President,aud a gen* eral willingness that tho project of im peachment ilioulJ be no fuathcr discuss ed. But it is beginning to be evident that the President, like the King, is his own worst enemy. It seems impossible lor him to leani fivm experience. A form alist and a doctrinaire, he can not com prehend that ho is the chief magistrate of the most practical people in the world, and that their minds are mado up to a certain course which lie can no more re sist than he could resist the blow of a trip-hauiraer. To interpose technical ob jections to a law of which the intention is written with a sunbeam, to invite an Attorney-General who has declared his hostility to the law to interpret it so as to secure the power of those whose pow er it is the known design of the law to overthrow, is togo very far toward out raging the public patience beyond en durance. and to persuade the loyal people of the United States that their policy of, reconstruction is impracticable so long as Mr, Johnson is their chief executive Of ficer. The Military bill, as every body knows, was meaut to submit the ;iutc> . directly to the national authority, until : tliey were reorganized according to it" provisions The existing civil officers | were td bo rc-'peetcfl.' tinksS thtv* 1 inter fered with the working of tho military system. Then. of ooutte, they.Tvere to bo. Thorn was to bo no cxcuso for a conflict. The civil authorities were not to be oqual or co-ordinate with the military, etich [aralywng.tueother. Nor were the limits of each sharply defined, that they should be scrupulously respect ed. Such nu attempt w mid be utter, lolly in a community radically .disorgan ized by war, In a word, the plain iulcnt of the bill was to mak" the military au thority supreme and the erviUubordiuate. If there wore auy diCioulty of interpre tation thcro were but two evident course - es—cither the Legislature must be asked to explain its intention, or, iu the abscnoc of the Legislature, the law must be inter preted ia tho spirit of its welbknown de sign. The AttorneysOenaral liusg'.ven an in terpretation of tho law whi 'h is intended to defeat it purpose. It is intended to procure the restora'ion of Wells as Gov ernor of Looisiuua; of Alellas Julge; of Monroe as Mayor of New Orleans ; and Withers us Mayor of Mobile. If the President acts upou the Attorney- General's opinion ho will break faith with the count ty. But that he may clearly understand what the couutry.vueau.s, Can gress, now iu session, wilt declare Its own purpose iu the reconstruction law. The President should himself desire it.— Then, when the wish of the country has been indicated, should he still seek to pervert tho law to its owu overthrow, lie will compel every truly conservative citi zen to ask whether it is not his manifest iuteutiou iu this grave crisis to battle the national will aud to prolong the perilous position of tho couutry.

If he is able to buy a farm already fruited, S9 much the batterj if not, he will get returns from his berries iu ODO year, and from his peaches and other fruit in from three to five years, after setting them lihtlsclf.— All branches of professional business are overstocked; BO is the mercantile; while mechanics ure plenty. Fenasylvanians are generally good farmers. There are a few of them in Southern Illinois, and so far as my acquaintance extends, all, with out exception, who have turned their at tention to the farming and fruit growing business have made themselves comforta bly rich in a few years. For this slime business, I see many in the last fewyeaVs that have laid aside the scalpel fir the pruning knife—bills in chancery for fruit bills in Chicago, and even the clerical robe for u "wamus." ADVANTAGES. There are several reasons why farm la bor is better remunerated here than it is in Western Pennsylvania. In the first place the soil is much moro productive ; nod whatever is produced commands a high cash price; cash it any of the sta tions on the railroad. There is no bet' ter market in the West for butter, chick ens, tggs, and all kinds of vogetiiulcs, than Cairo, where the steamboats of two great rivers stop fsr supplies. Cairo can be reached in a few minutes, while a few hours will trausport the same to Chicago. All kinds of fruit mature here five or six weeks earlier than they do iu the neigh borhood of Chicago, 'lhe grower is en abled therebj to throw tho first into mnr» kiet, aud ol'teu gets fabulous prices. In the licit place, the winters are at least two months shorter here than tliey are in ljutlercounty,requiring so much less feed lor stock. STRAWBERRIES. It ie on'y within the last five or six years that fruit growing has been made a ■speciality iu this soction, aud become au important branch ot industry. It is in W* infancy yet, but the magnitude to which it has already attained, may be in* Icrred from the fact, that tho J. C. It. It. wa'o obliged to put on a special fiuit train to transport the strawberry crop alone, starting from this station daily. 1 will give you some figures as col lected by others, which seem almost in credible except to tho3o who have exam ined into the matter. Cobdea, six miles north of this, the most important fruit station on the road, shipped as high as eighteen tons, or six hundred bushels of strawberries in a sin gle day. From two to six tons, or two hundred and tilty bushels, were sent daily from this station, while smaller ones sent forward from one to five tons, or an aver age of 70 bushels per day. It is estimated th it night thousand ton#, or eighty thousand bushels wore nhippad during a«ea*ou laating-^uw.three to four weeks, from this j onion of Bliuoip sdtith tf the Ohio & AI It. It. The prices roaliiwd by. the jromer ra rit's from ten ccitt* » one dollar and twen ty-live oeiiis a quart. Perhaps thirty. cents a quart is not an ovfer average - Sixty bushels, to the acre is nn average yield. Prom this wo find tliat an acre devoted to strawberries', will yield sflhie whftt Iu the fieighbtThood of nix hund red dollars. The boxes, packing, fieigjit iiud cumioUsiou, coat six cents per quart. Strawberries grow everywhere; but the grower hero Sends the first to thc' ! Chicago market, thereby commanding tho highest prices, and by the time tho eatli v-t mature in that neighborhood, the crop is used up here, aud ho is ready to ship Ilia RASPBERRIES. Tills berry is becoming quite as impor tant as the strawberry. The oust of grmviny them is not more than half as much as, iu the atruwberries, — They, produee froip to fifty bushels to the acre, and are worth about twice as much in market. I will not dwell on it, but take up tho PEACH. The cultivation of the peach is the most iuiportaut, extensive aud profitable. When a peach crop pays at all, it pays well. Last, year tho ctop was light This year tfie tfrces are bending with the luscious burden, atid will more than com pensate for farmer failures. The lruit mau is already counting his profits by the thousands. There are many instances of growers making ten thousand dollars net profits from a single pe#eh er»p ; in om or twoin.stanoesnearly double that amount. It is only awong the hills and wooded slopes, commencing at Villa Itidge. 12 miles above Cairo, and extendiug 80 of ldp miles north, that the' peach will flourish. Throughout this region, fail ure is the exemption,—above the tiaiber belt, and north of'Ccnlralia, it is tho rule. Getting on the cars at Centralis, paing south, you pass through an interminable succession of peach orchards, ranging fr.iiu five to one hundred acres. Then* havo been nearly all set out within the past five or nix years. You would sup pose that you saw enough peaches from the car window alone, to glut the markets of half the world. It » from this re gion that Chicago and the entire north west are suppliea, and there is not half enough yet. From two to four car loads will be sent daily from this station.— Shipping will commence in about two weeks. Other stations will ship more, making a train of from fifteen to tweuty- Gvo ear loads of peaches alone. MORE FUTHTS. Besides the fruits here particularized, Egypt has apples, plums, poars, cheiTies, and, besides, hundreds of scores of gppes that have lately been set out." Two va rieties of which goeni to be at home in this soil. The early variety of apples are being shipped now. The wheat crop this year WM very heavy. It has been and much of it already made iuto flour and gono to market. SWEET POTATOES. The sweet potato Is another staple ar ticle of Southern Illinois, and in reliable, yielding about 150. bushels to the acre, and are generally worth one dollar a bush el. In the spring of the year they brawl up to two dollars and fifty cents to three dollars per bushel. It requires good carc to keep them through the winter. Cotton was extensively cultivated in this county during war times, particular ly in (lie Mississippi Bottoms. These bottoms lie sis miles west of us, and are from four tti six miles in breadth; soil fVom five to twenty feet d'eep : drainage imperfect, and mnlarid in abundance. It would take a page to describe them. The cultivation of the would be-kingis aban doned. vnAtETir. The producer here, then, has a rarie'y of hoary and semi-tropical products from whteli to choose, cultivate and till his purse. He cau have his strawberry, raspberry and peach all growing on the same piece of ground. If one fails the other will hit. Neither one of them re quire much labor al'teij being set out.— lie has plenty of leisuro 10 cultivate wheat, corn, potatoes, or any thiug else he may fancy. 1 see 110 set of men that look "so fat and sleek as the fruit growers iu this roi gion. They paid out their money a few years ago in what seemed an experiment —patiently waitiug for their trees and vines to grow. Mow they have the snt iif'actiou of putting it all back into their pockets, with a four-fold iucroaso. From two to three thousand dollars will buy a farm already fruited in close proximity to a station—say from 20 to 40 acres. This may appear to be ft small farm. For fruit alone, it is plenty. Home think ten. arret enowjh-. The country is rapidly lilliug up with Northern R nd Kaatcrn people, all in oueat of' fruit farms.- They .are generally a g&aTiead enterprising class of people—such RR give society a healthy tone, and assist iu.the march of*improvement.
