Resolutions endorsing the reconstruc
tion policy of President Johnson, were
discussed in the Connecticut Senate on
Wednesday, opposed by some members,
and finally tabled. The opponents were
radicals who thought it suspicious to see
Democratic newspapers approving the
President's policy.
The New York World asks " if opinion
could make a man a traitor, what would
have become of such men as 'Giddings,
and Sumner, and Seward, who held that
the Constitution was not the supreme
law of the land, but that there was 'a
higher law --their own will Y If there be
such a thing as moral treason, the lead

DISLOYALTY IN NZIS HAIIPSUIRE.—Last
Friday, in the New Hampshire Legisla
ture, Mr. McNeil, of Hillborough, intro
duced the following resolution :
Resolved. That *e cordially and earn

Executive of the nation, that " the States
which have been in rebellion are still
States, or, in other words, that the gov
ernthents of those States were not des
troyed, but were only in abeyance, and
that when the rebellion was suppressed
and the laws and Constitution revived.
neither the President or Congress has any
authority to prescribe the qualifications
of electors of those States."
When the vote was taken, the resolu

Abolitionists going in a body against it
It is a quotation from President Johnson
himself.
The New Orleans Picayune says " it is
certain the Southern people of the Con
federate States everywhere, accept, the
disastrous appeal to arms as' a finality.
They have, none of them, any intention
of renewing the struggle. From the Po
tomac to the Rio Grande, they have sur•
rendered their armies, some of them still
powerfal, and returned themselves, and
advised all to return to their former
peaceful avocations in life. This is the
burden of their daily conversation and
advios, and the diligence with which they
are seeking, and enterites upon business,
Visuals were wanting, isiutficient evidence
of the sincerity of their purpose. The
whole Southern country, in fact, bears
witness to the actual and -permanent re

quite too fast, even for quick-witted Bias
sachusetts, and will mike things unpleas•
ant if it go on in this way. Here is the
argantentum ad Ne v Enylvidum, in which
our precocious New York couteLnporary
indulges :
If New England be really resolve upon
subverting the States and the rights of
the States—bezinning in the matter of
auffrage —we do not see why we of New
York should say "No." The Constitu
tion of the United States—the Federal
Government. the Senate of the United
States, the Supreme Court of the United
States, are very hard and harsh upon the
Empire State, and very anti-democratic—
and if New England he beat upon a
change, eo be it.
This is a government now of 35 States
—of which it takes some 12 or 15 of the
lesser ones to make a New York—aid
yet New York has only two Senators in
Congress, while these 15 States 'titake 30
Senators in Congress. Now, the Senate
of the United States is the great power of
this government. It monop3ll7, Is the
making of treaties, the ratification of Ex
ecutive appointments. the judicial part of
the impeaching power,—indeed, the
President himself is only a second-rater,
in comparison with the Senate. Two
Senators from little, tiny, titmouse Rhode
Island, are as big p3tentates in the United
States Senate as the two potentates from
the nearly four millions of New York.
Why, we have more people under our
side-walks than live in Rhode Island. We
have a thousand to one in our attic heav
en to every single Rhode Islander on the
ground. Thus, as subterreneans, and cer
tainly, to say nothing of terrestrials, we
eclipse this little, tiny Rhode Island,
thousands and tens of thousands, and yet
the titmouse is as tall in the Senate as the
giant. Lilliputian there is as big as Brob
dignag.
Now, nothing can be more anti-demo
cratic or scarcely so little republican, as
all this.
Then, there is the Supreme Court of the
United - States, which makes and unmakes
acts of Congress or acts of Presidents, and
which can make or unmake States. This
body consists of but ten men, and these
ton men are not created according to
population, but according to (p •esumed)
merit. And why should not New York
have her proportion of the ten ?
Then, the President of the United
States is elected by the Electoral College,
and this, college is so created, that New
England - has twelve electoral voteito New
York's (Senatorial) two! What can be
more anti-democ:atic ?
And next, if the President of the
Unitei States is not elected by this Elec
toral ()allege, the Slates, in the House of
Representatives. elect hint—.and in this
vote, Rhode Island has just as much of
the vote as New York. •
Then again, the President may be, and
sometimes is, (u President Lis=lir was
the first time,) elected President by a
large minority of the people. What more
anti-democratic ?
The fact is, there are a great many
Abings in the Constitution that may be
changed, and when Itassaahusetts men
shuffle, why not shuffle with her ?
Then, in u Constitutional Convention,
we can cousolidate New England into one
State, and give the Western States their
proper influence in the Senate.
If this is to be a consolidated govern
ment—New York, the Empire State, has
a right to at least thirteen Senators in
Congress—the proportion of her popula
tion—and two Judges of the Supreme
Court of the - United States—a sixth part,
too, of the Foreign Ministers and Consul
ates, and of the " spoils," generally—say,
two Cabinet Ministers all the time, or
nearly all the time.
The revolutionists of Boston, who are
now again seeking to subvert this govern
ment, but little comprehend the job they
have on hand, if once we begin. To ob
tain the negro suffrage victory they are
now struggling for, at the expense of the
States of the South, will coat
_them, if we
adopt their principles of government, the
suppression of their own State.

Ford—Stanten.
A Mr. Ford appears to be the owner of
a theater in Washington City, wherein
President Lincoln was assassinated. Being
thereupon closed, Mr. Ford attempted to
open it some days afterward, but was for
bidden'and prevented. He next sold it
for a church, but the purchasers were
unable to fulfill their engagement, and
the property reverted. Last Monday
evening, he tried once more to reopen,
but was peremptorily shut up by an order
from the War Department. The Herald
says of Ford's attempt- to resume his reg
ular business:
" It was an attempt to coin the blood
of the great man. • People in Washington
as well as elsewhere felt that the theater
was a deodand ; and that it was morally.
if not in fact, involved in the crime com
mitted in it, just as a murderer's weapon,
which from time immemorial has been •
forfeited to the law. The War Depart
ment forbade the performance and closed
the theater; and in doing so it only acted
up to the popular 'thought; and though
we shall on this subject hear many cop
perhead bowls, the act will receive the
full approval of the people."
It is quite probable that " the popular
thought " accords with the above assump
tions . but there is at least one journal
which dares defy " popular " impulses
when they contravene law and justice.
We had intended to let this matter pass
without comment, with many similar va
garies of the War Department ; but its
plump justification by the Herald imposes
the duty of emphatic di - sent.
Under what law, by what right, did
Edwin M. Stanton thus deprive John T.
Ford of the use of his titivate property t
It surely will not be pretended that an
imminent, overruling public danger dic
tated the Secretary's high-handed course.
We have heard that he apprehended a
riot in case the theater were opened—so
he arbitrarily closed it . in pursuance of a
policy-to which Abolitionists of other
days were long accustomed without be
coming reconciled. The police fear your
property will be injured if you use it; so
—instead of protecting you in its use—
they forbid and prevent your using it at
all ! It would take a long and severe
training to enlighten U. 3 as to the beauties
of such legal protection.
Mr. Ford, it is' said,.evinced bad taste,
or a deficient sense of propriety, in under
taking to reoprln his theater within three
months after Mr. Lincoln's assassination.
Very likely. But in what clause of the
Constitution, what chapter of the Statutes
at large, do we find the regulation of pub
lic or private taste, the enforcement-of a
due regard for propriety, made a duty of
the Secretary of War? If he is to regu
-1 ate other men's regard for appearances,
for decorum, who is to regulate—or edu
cate—his?
We know nothing of Ford nor of his
theater but what is everywhere current.
But, suppose he - is in debt, and hid credi

him up—suppose him to have a theatrical

Democratic Celebration of the Fourth at
Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, July 8, INS
MR:Burros : As the celebration of the 4th
of July at this city partook of a party &tura,
I have thought an account of it would not be
uninteresting to your rattlers. Bat, first, let
me give you a history of how the 4 , split"
was occasioned: It, was originally the pur
pose of the citizens to have &general oelebra•
tion, participated in by all. For this purpose
a meeting was called on June 10th. The
meeting was largely attended, and good order
prevailed throughout. The Republioaas con
trivedito have one of their own party elected
President, while a vast majority of the Vice
Presidents were of the same political com—
plexion. Now, Harrisburg, as is well known,
is a strong Democratic city, and always has
been, and it would have been no more than
common justice to have allowed the Damoorats
an equal number or a majority of the officers.
Matters began to assume a political hue. It
required no great length of time, nor no keen
perception to see that the Republicans were
conducting affairs solely for partizan ends.
The Telegraph of this city, which'', the Tong
nixed organ of the RepUblicaas hereabouts,
kept up a continuous abuse of Democrats,
and was'hot long in giving vent to the follow
ing language:
"One-half of what are called Democratic
voters are not tit to mingle with decent men
in any celebration, while the other half could
not be Induced to conduct such an affair,
simply because 'the greater portionlof them
have neither ability nor taste for such labors.
The Union men of ilarrisburg—the war De.
mocracy and Republicans—really constitute
the Intellect, the energy, the genius and the
respectability of the city."
It is not natural 'that the Democracy, with
such statements as these staring them in the
face, could unite in the celebration with any
degree of spirit. On the contrary, they de
termined on having one among themselves,
and for this purpose public notice was given
in the Patriot and Union, and by posters
throughout the city, of a grand old-fashioned
pio.nio, to be held in a beautiful grove ad
joining the city. The time rolled slowly by,
and the morning of the 4th 'arrived. I 144
mained in the oily long enough to witness the
Republican prooeision, which constituted the
main feature of their celebration. I had pre -
pared myself to witness something grand,
but judge of my surprise at seeing the weak.
esl demonstration of the kind ever witnessed
in Harrisburg- There was nu taste displayed,
ao enthusiasm, and is pint of numbers it
was extremely small.
Three trains were to run to the woods at
different hours. Esoh of these were filled to
the utmost. Passengers stood upon the plat
forme, and crowded the tops of the care—it
was with difficulty I found - passage on the
fourth train. When I reached the woods it
was to find them densely packed with people
—all enjoying themselves in every possible
way. Charles J. Biddle delivered the oration
tnabilikidienee, and was rapturously ap.
plaWPatriotic toasts were drank, songs
were sung, and all so disposed regaled them &
solves in I , tripping the light fantastic toe."
Immense quantities of provisions were dealt
out to the crowd, and wagons were engaged
during the whole day in carrying water to the
immense throng, but all insufficient to supply
the demand. Large numbers of soldiers were
present - to grace the scene. A salute of 100
guns was fired; all tha plays usually engaged
in at such parties were participated in, and
music, and song, and gladness ruled the hoar.
The hour of departure came too soon. Thus
passed away one of the grandest celebrations
ever witnessed by the citizens of the Capital
City—and, thus ended the best old-fashioned
gathering I ever attended. Ssyserr-Stx.
Political Items.
Vaal LIICILT.-A, Brooklyn paper deems it
important to say in extenuation of Mr. East—
man, who has recently decamped from that
city with s very large amount of other peo
ples' money, that ho was not only prominent
in religious works, but a 6ityul member of
the Loyal League, and active, in squelching
copperheads.
STATISTICAL AND HISTORICAL.-•.T/1/3 New
York Tribune declares that the'negroes tt saved
the country in the hour of 14 sorest need."
The Boston Courier says it has " a slight re•
collection that a few white men had a hand
in the matter, although the Tribune seems to
forget it." We hope it may be recalled to Mr
Greeley's memory before he finishes the
" History of the Rebellion."
The Boston Courier perpetrates the follow
ing neat syllogism: "The radicals have de
clared for four years that it is treason to op
pose the Government , in time of war. The
radicali declare that war still exists. The
radicals are opposing the government: there
fore—the radidals are guilty of treason. Let
halters be brought."
Senator Shermaa delivered the 4th of July
oration at Warren, Ohio. The central idea
of the oration was, that all men are equal in
this country—" the native and the foreign—
the White and the Black "—" any creature
upon whom the Almighty has stamped the
lineaments of 'man.'" Oa this point there
is a conflict of opinion between General and
Senator Sherman.
C:iambus Delano, speaking for the Ohio
radical Republicans, a few week ago, said:,
"The heroism of negro troops has added lus
tre to our history, and without the negroes
aid our armies would not have succeeded!
The negro has fought and conquered for us,
and deserves his reward. lie has a right to
sit on juries, to hold office, and to vote as •
freeman at the ballot—box." This danguaga
the Cleveland Leader, and other Republican
papers, endorse ; the former saying that such
an expression " entitles him to the respect
tied confidence of the most progressive anti
slavery men."
The - Republicans aide a bad fist of it in
regard to the soldiers, on the Fourth. There
were six regiments of returned veterans at
Camp Curtin, and they were invited to join
in the Republican celebration, but each persispi;
tardy refused. Quite a number of 140114
diers subsequently -visited the Destocritle
pie-nic at Hoff:luta'. woods, and -- ta

Democrat lays: "We have conversed with
quite s number of soldiers since their return,
and they ridicule the ides of a soldier voting
for the Negro Equality doctrine of the Repub.

for this supposition, and forimost among
them is the fast that Gen. Sherman is opposed
to conferring suffrage on the negroes. This
will have its influence among the men, eepe•

I. PUTTING DOWN
_rite KIIBILLION !"--The
Peoria (Ill.) News says that the distillers ar.
rested recently in that city for a violation of
the revenue law, by which they had defraud
ed the Government out of $25,000 and thus
enriched themselves, were of the "strictly
loyal persuasion, and ware loud-mouthed,
blatant revilers of the copperheads,' and
frequently boasted that they would give their
all to put down the rebellion." For four
years, under the plea_ of le putting down the
rebellion," the Treasury leeches have pre
vented a rigid scrutiny iato.the affairs of the
public treasury. The rebellion has been put
down, and the sovereign people, now called
upon to pay the iatmenee debt, are beginning
to feel that this cry has covered a vast num
ber of peculating raids upon the public treas
ury. Had it not been for the outcry made by
the Democratic party the debt would have
been greater than It- is, and the private for
tunes made out of the necessities of the nation
by the tribe of shoddy would have been even
greater than those accumulated by these dis
honest speculators. The records will show
that those who were loudest in their denunci
ation of " copperheadism," those who cried
" traitor " loudest and hurled the most infa
mous epithets at the Democratic party have
been the largest plunderers of the Treasury !
Let all the facia that can be developed be
spread before the people, from the Mileage
Grab to the Great Vessel Charter Frauds—
and then let them render a verdict as to the
political honesty of an organization that con
tains within it so many men who, while de
pouncing Democrats as dishonest, were filling
their own pockets. There is a "good .time

for the Boston Company. They have not.—

Henry Ward Beecher asked Park Benjamin
why he never owns to hear hint preach. Ben
jamin replied : " Why, Beecher, the fact is, I
have conscientious scruples against going to
places of amusement on Sunday."
A real gentleman never dresses in the ex
trews of fashion, bat avoids singularity in
person or habits. Is affablo with his equals,
pleasant and attentive to his inferiors. In
conversation he avoids hasty, ill.temperect or
insulting words. Never pries late other peo-
ple's affairs. Detests eaves-dropping as one
of the most disgraceful of crimes. Never
slanders an acquaintance. Does never, under
any circumstances, speak ill of a women.
In the revolutionary war a handsome young
patriot-officer, fleeing from his British pur—
suers, sought protection by entering • house
where there was nobody but a beautiful youn g
woman. She aided him in seeking for a hiding
place, but none could be found. — The enemy
were close at hand, and not a m3ment was Co
be lost. The young lady, wore the wide
spreading dress of the time, and a thought
occurred to her. Come under here and lie
close, she exclaimed, and he had barely time
to obey when the soldiers entered the door.
Bhe stood stern and still, while they sewhed
the house in vain for the fugitive. If Jeff.
Davis had been smart enough to hide himself
as that young officer did, perhaps be would
not at this time be the occupant of a casemate.
PORTRAIT OF A RIVRRIND GOTRRISOR.••••It is
an unprecedented thing, almost, if not quite,
for a clergyman to be made Governor of a

aen. 11. W. Slocum had a flattering recep—
tion at Syracuse, N..Y., last Thursday. Gen.
8., in response to • welcoming speech, paid
a grateful tribute to the common soldier:
He referred to an article in a Syracuse
newspaper, which, he said, "bad contrasted
the reception given to an officer with that
given to a private soldier. Both entered the
service from this county—both bad been
wounded in the same battle and returned
under similar circumstances—yet how differ
ent their receptions. The officer was met at
the depot by a large number of friends and
cordially greeted. The soldier was met by
an only sister, and by her_nlone accompanied
to his home. I presume there are not ten
men within reach of my voice who remember
the article to which I refer, and I am very
confident no one was more impressed by it
than myself. I felt it for I was the officer, to
whom the allusion was made, and I could not
but acknowledge the justice of the article.
Our private soldiers, unlike those composing .
the armies of other counttes, enter the service
generally from purely pstriotio motives. They
make equal sacrifices, andendure even great
ei hardships than their officers. In all those
traits of 'character which you delight to
honor, the soldier has claims upon you equal
at least to his officers.

"A young lady of this city, professing the
Catholic religion, recently became enamored
with a Protestant young gentlemtn. In order
to make things pleasant all around, the gen
man embraced the Catholic religion, but upon
applying to a priest to perform the marriage
ceremony, the latter refused, on the ground
that the young lady had stood as god. mother
at the gentleman's conversion--it being
against the doctrines of the Roman Catholic
Church to solemnize marriage between the
godmother and the god-child.

Dirty and greasy, and all forlorn ;
My print is vile and my looks are bsse,
And my edges are frayed and tort.
The presses are running by day and by night,
Spawning me off, a thousand fold,
Though honest men call it a shameful sight
To see me pining for gold.
But politics calla for funds galore
To keep " ins" in, and to keep 4 , outs " out,
And paper is cheaper than yellow ore, •
As nobody claims to doubt.
I'm squandered hire and squandered there,
Common as dirt and as foul likewise ; .
Fortune cornea and go in the air,
As the seed of the thistle flies.
And where I pass all villainy thrive - 3 ;
Every sort of malice sad sin ;
Men sell their souls, their brothers, their wives,
In the feverish strife to win
The time of my birth was a joyful hour
For those who hold to the Powers that be ;
'Twas I that bred and conferred the power,
And it rests alone with me !
But Laber site by her silent loom,
Commerce mourns by her empty till,
Progress weeps by Liberty's tomb—
Nose flourish save those who kill.
Still, I, with my dirty brasen face, •
Go hither and thither, broadcast sewn,
The seeds of a Nation's sore disgrace;
The power behind its throne
