FOR GOVERNOR,
HIESTER CLYMER,
OF BRRKII COUNTY.
OUR ROMIRRIC.
The Democratic State Convention at
Harrisburg, on Monday, after a full and
frank interchange of. train:ant, and with
a spirit of harmony sod enthusiasm sel
dom, witnessed, 'elected Hon. Heisler
Clymer; of Berks county, as the nominee
of the party to en .-—d Oov. Curtin in the
Guhernational Chair.• \An intercourse,
during the put week, with many of the
public men of the Commonwealth, com
ing from nearly every county within its
limits, Satisfies us that no nomination
could have been made at this period more
fitly representing the' great principles at
stake, more honorable in character, or
better calculated to inspire the respect,
confidenoe and zeal of the patriotic manes.
The strong oonservative counties of the
State were almost a unit in his support,
and-it is predicted by those best entitled
to know, that in all the reliable region
extending from Philadelphia on the South
to the New York line on the North, and
bounded by the Delaware on the East
and the Schuylkill on the West, the pres
tige 'of his name will gather about our
orgsnisakion thousands of supporters who
could not have been secured for any other
candidate.
Mr. Clymer has been in political life for
=Ley years, and his reputation is known
to almost every citizen of Pennsylvania.
A member of the State Senate for a
long period, he was from the very first
accepted as the Democratic leader in that
body, and in all the characteristics which
go to make up a statesman, he !a acknowl
edged by political , friends and enemies
alike, to occupy the foremost position'at
Harrisburg. His record during the last
four years has been unhesitating and
straightforward in defence of the Union
and Constitution. He has given no vote
not justified by the events of the time,
and has done nothing which can be truth
fully alleged to Lave been in contraven
tion of the true theory of our Institutions
or the interests of the nation.
On the great State issues which are ex
citing the att9ntion of the people, Mr.
Clymer is everything that any fair minded
person can desire. His bold and manly
stand against corporative monopolies, and
in defense of the general welfare of the
public as against the interest of mere sec
tions, has endeared him to the hearts of
all true Pennsylvanians. Legislative oor
ruption has found in him one of its
staunchest antagonists, and whatevet may
be said against his political position, his
character for integrity is unasiailable.—
No gentleman who is acquainted with the
pmakkenejmen at Harrisburg will deny
that in the qualifications which make up
a complete man, and a faithful Legislator,
and whtoh would adorn the Executive
chair, Roister Clymer hastot his supe
rior.
In private life, If r.elymer is one of the
most genial and unassuming of men. In
his bone in Berlu county, his popularity
igunrivalled, while at the State Capital,
among offioers and citizens, he seems to
be an enemy. One of the beat
in es that we can relate on this point
is • fact that on the evening of his
noiiiination most of the Republican mem
bers called at his room to congratulate
him upon his nomination. Senator Low
ry appeared especially gratified, and,
clasping Mr.
.Clymer's hand, exclaimed:
"I am your political enemy, but am proud
to be your personal - friend. • I congratu
late the Denzooracron having nominated
tax,..honest man. I shall have to oppose
you on party grounds, but I shall every
where proclaim it that you are an honest,
men."
Mr. Clytiees abilities as a speaker are
of the foremost order. He has a clear
voice and an impressive manner, and his
personal appearance being very fine, few
men excel him in their: effect upon an
audience. Hu speech accepting the nom
ination was updraft of oratory which we
have never heard excelled, and seldom
equalled. It electrified his hearers, and
among that vast audience, surpassing in
numbers and , enthludesm any we .have
ever seen in attendance upon a pate
convention, there was not one who did
not feel his courage revived by its elo
qualm, aid his. breast filled with emo
tions of earnest confidence that with such
a leadeo, in such a canoe, thin) - was
no possibility of defeat. -
Mr. Clymer:44ns taking the stump,
at an early :day, and our citizens may rely
upon hismisiting them before the ekes of
the easepaice. He will challenge his
competitor to discus the issues before the
people, that' they may have an opportu
nity of deciding upon the merits of the
two men, and of the judo, of the princi
ples they maintain. Vhe desperate situa
tion of the politicians who control the
fortunes of the RepubliMin party, and the
unscrupulous nature of 'their conduct
heretofore, lead us to expect that he will
be traduced with the most homilies acri
mony; bui,lincrwing our leader u we do,
we rest convinced that he wall Come out
of the
,convass unscathed ; and nothing,
in our mind, is more fully assured than
that Holster Clymer will be next Govern'
or of Pennsylvania.

e of our most influential aid highly
esteemed exchanges, in conankinting upon
the relations of the Demesratie pity tO
the President, uses this languor "The
s• four years succeeding the war are the
"most critical .and momentous In .pur
history. It Presldeit Johnson is not

ties of this fruitful epoch, no subsequent
"continuance in ofiloti can add anything
"to hit reputation; add although the.ef

.... $lllO
"coned by sectional bitternesi, he has no
"chance either of a re-election or of the
" applauding judgment of posterity. In
"his case, therefore, magnanimity and
"interest combine to impose upon him
" the sole regard for , the restoration of
" the Union which be professed in his
" remarks to the Montana delegation."
Taking this wits stand-point, it combs to
the eonolnaion, - in which we fully agree,
that pitriothm, generosity, and interest
equally require the Democratic party to
look solely to the restoration of the
Union, and to postpone all other con
siderations to this. When . the Union is
restored, we, as a _party, mast take our
ehanoes in getting contra/. of the govern
meat. The whole country has the right
to .a voice in the election of the next .
President; and, for our part, looking to
the, welfare and stability of our institu
tions, we had rather see the party beaten
in 'a fair trial of strength, in which all
participate who have a right to partial;
pate, than successful in a contest from
which a large portion of the States were
excluded. The chief concern of the coun
try is the restoration of the Union, let
the effect on the subsequent success of
parties be what it may. The Democratic
party applaud Presidsint Johnson's single
minded devotion to the Union, and are
confident that, in a restored . Union, their
principles will find acceptance. They do
not wish the early restoration of the
Union to in the slightest degree im
peded or imperiled for the sake of any
present advantage to them.
We disapprove of all attempts—if any
such are making—to induce the President
to bestow cams on Democrats. We ask
from him nothing but fidelity to his del
clued principles. We did not elect him;
we scorn the idea that he can purchase
our support. We do not disguise our be
lief that our party interests would be pro.
rooted by the immediate restoration of
the Union. Our interesfjn this great re
sult is lo much superior td our interest in
any particular offices, that, on a calcula
tion- of pure selfishness and party advan
tage, it would be supreme folly for, us to
jeopard restoration by the solicitation - or
acceptance of patronage. The President
will, of conrse, be no such simpleton as to
obstruct his policy. But it would un
doubtedly be more for the advantage of
the country for him to use it so as to
secure the support of influential Republi
cans, than to give it to Democrats, who
will support him in any event, so !ong-as
he is true to his avowed principles. For
the . present, the political control of the
country is wholly in the North ; and the
South has no chance to regain its rights
till a majority of the North support the
policy of the Puillent. If he can so
use his patronage as to carry with him . a
considerable portion of the Republican
party, that is probably the best - use he
can make of it.
The Democratic party is opposed to
every cealithes,.either with the President
or with any portion of the party that
elected him. We stand on our principles.
In a restored Union, we have complete
confidence that our principles would pre
yell. Entangling alliances with Republi
cans, coalitions or compromise., for th
sake of office, 'could demoralize the party,
lower its tone, - and deprive it of the van
tage-ground which strict fidelity to prin
ciple would give it, from the moment the
Unionis restored. If the President throws
to Democrats a few sops in the way of of
fice, that amounts to nothi4 for the
temporary - possession of a few Mitosis does
not secure either the triumph of ourprin
ciples or the restoration of the Union.—
If he bestows aft his offices upon Demo
crats, he raises a general howl and bulls
halloo, which will tend, more than any
thing else could, to reeonsolidate the dis
integrating Republican party, and post
pone the restoration of the Union until
after the next Presidential election. Any
Democrat who would wish to prams
ofiloe at this price, is a traitor to his party.
We would gladly see all office" filled by
Democrats ; but we wish to see them ob•
mined, not by fawning on a President
whom we did not elect, not bya degrading
barter of so much support 'lbs . so meth
patronage, not bi,the Slightest iionsismion
of principle, but by manly appeals to the
people and well-earned success • in the
elections. We 'have. nothing but hard
knocks and 'vigorous oppreigon for any
political 'harlotry Which: f ie - kb to a blend
ing of the Democratic party with' any
portion or section of its political oppo.

thing omi be deemed oertain'in it

WHAT /S TUX 001711tNaliNT f
In view of some recent manifestations
on the pert of Republican friends,
the question becomes of vast importance :
What is the Government!" The Dem
ocratic party always maintained that it
consisted of the three branches—Execu
tive, Legislative and Judiciary—with the
Constitution as their land-mark ; but the
Republicans, since Kr. Lincoln's-first in
auguration, have taught a different theory.
In their opinion, the Executive was the
embodiment of the whole "Government,"
and we remember distinctly with what zeal
they declared that not to sustain him was
to commit rank treason against the State.
This idea was not without its difficulties
like all the great ideas which have been
idvanced before it. In the first place it
put our brethren of the Rtpublican stamp
in somewhat of a peculiar position, &Om
the fact that two-thirds of them had been
denouncing Democratic Executives during
most of their life timei: If their asser
tions were admitted, they were thus eon-,
witted of having been traitors to the "Gov
ernment ". the main portion of their ex
istence. In the secontrsce, it led to
some absurd deductions, which our friends,
with all their' ingenuity, Could never ei
plain to their entire satisfaction. Thus,
if the President were tack, the °Govern
ment " was in the same condition ; it the
President took a walk, the 'Government"
was out airing itself ; if the President
punished his children, the little "Gov
ernments" were being sneaked by the
big "Governance;"' if the President re•.
tired; it is irithin the bounds of reason to
suppose the " Government" wasileeping
with Hrs. " Government." In this way
the theory might be spun out into 'cow
elusions that would be irresistibly ludi
crous. -
It would seem now u if our friends of
the opposite side, either froin having ar
sired at the belief that their late idea was
erroneous, or some othercause, had aban
donad italtogether of late. We are sur
prised at opening nearly all of oar Repub.
limns exchanges to find them, as if by a
spontaneous movement, traducing with
extreme violenoe that same "Govern
ment," which a few months ago it was
treason In their view to oppose. What
does it mean 7 Is the President no longer
the 'Government," or have these journals
with one accord become OopPerheadsl •
In consideration of these circumstances,
the question of what the Government
really consists In &MUM momentous ins.
portance. If it be the President, and
abuse of him makes one guilty of truat,
much as we may pity the misfortunes of
our brethren,' - we must insist sipon the
penalty of the law in the case of that
=being strictly enforced. As neither
nor patriotism was ashield against
the slanders of these gentlemen during
the war, we cannot oonsent that their
in
put extreme " loyalty " shall Cow be t
in as a plea in abatement for trade ng

Gen. Lee did testify is thus reported by

a Republican and a Radical at that, wouNi
be more likely to give the worst part of
the.testimony than the best :
