THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1806
FOR aorazrow,
HON. HIESTER CLYMER,
OF BURKS COUNTY
Tits Grand President of the Grand
Council of the Loyal League in Illinois
has gone over to the conservatives. Great
is the wailing arming the Radicals in con-
sequence
' I
TilS K E NTUCKY ELECTION.—The elettion
of the Democratic candidate in Kentucky
by a, majority that . will reach in the near
neighborhood of 40,000 has excited the
Radicals, and they are announcing
the result as ri' ., "rebel" triumph. The
Philikelpliia Age declares that "This is
not true in any, sense. Roth the candi
dates were Union men, and pledged to
the support of the restoration policy of
President Johnson. Both of them were
honest, competent and efficient. The fact
that Mr. Duvall was elected by sp large a
majority' is a i'mtlicient refutation of
.the
Radical allegation, - that his rote V7P3 made
up 4 entirely ot:' rebels and rebel rympa
tinmq Kentucky could not, nnr would
not, havee maintained her attitude of de
votion to the - Union with a majority of
forty thOnsand of her people in favor of
' secession and war upon that jssun.'
Tile unscrupulous nature of Radical
prints is so great that if one were to un
dertake to correct a tenth of their false
hoods, it wnu'd eihnuat nll bi-, time. Here
is a fa'orite sentence of" the Tribune's,
from vfhich it is copied by all the petty
orgqtis of the Radical faction :
Mester Clymer—who determinedly
opposed the war for the Union from first
to last."
Now we unhesitatingly assert that there
is not a word of truth in that sentence.
Mester Clymer never opposed the war for
the . Union. lie never refused to vote any
rtslcessary means fer carrying it on. He
never refused to lend, his encouragement
to all measures essential to its success,
and from the first day of his existence
dowii to the present period, he has been a
truer, firmer and . more self sacrificing
friend of the Union than the
_wt iter of the
above.
It is uselesJ, though, to conttatliete any
of the slanders the Radicals fulminate.—
Wrre - they proved false evefy tminute of
t14.-ctv, they would continuo to repeat
them with ne impudent a mannoe on if un
truth \ , .tts a part of their natures, and the
nobla, t course in lire was to misrepresent
one's ,fe l low men.
Gxear visited the town of York
laso-, t eek, and • made a speech, which is
re`pated by the Philadelphia Press. The
following is an extract :
"When I look around this assemblage
and feel that around me are fellow-sol
diers who have' boree arms with me from
•• the first battleltt 1301 l Run, not one or two
from a regiment, as was the case at:Har
risburg a few days, ago, shysters and cow
ards; skulkers and hospital bummers—l
know such is the fact, for I have driven
them from the army myself."
The soldiers to whom he iapplied these
insulting phriteee are thosp who met in
convention last week at the State Capital.
The;Harrishaqg Patriot justly slys that
"this remark - proves Geary to be a con
. - - o..lsamarges
proies him z lo be a liar. Whencver a
bratiesoldier:lnywhere in the state re
fuses io - vote for this military humbug—
this ignorant, vdnity- bloated peacock—
this palitiCal bummer—that soldier is at
once'imarkvd out by Geary -for personal
defaMation, falseVaod and slander."—
"Shysters, cowards, skulkers and hospital
bummers," indeed. The soldiers who
weresepresented in the convention will
remember the lsngunge, and it it does not
inspire them to redoubled efforts f ,- ,r the
election of Mr. Clymer we are much mis
taken. .

"The CcpFerhcads, in the exhaustion
which precedes final collapse, have taken
incontinently to eating their own words.

Congressional Democratic Convention was
held at New Albany, Indiana. Voorhees
and McDonald spoke: and a,series of re
solutions was adopted. one of which de
clarei that "the war was 'just and neces
sary to prevent the disruption and over;
throw of the Constitution." "
The instances which - the Diepatch cites
[sight be interesting if the premises with
which it Starts were correct. During the
entire war George If. Pendleton never
uttered a• word in contradiction to the
ill() view expressed by him at Reading,
that "the South unwisely took up arms to
resist the exectition of Federal laws:" He.
was for the war throughout thti whole re—
bellion, and only differed from the Dis
patch in relation . to the-mode in which it
should be conducted.
Messrs. Voorhes and McDonald were
both supporters of the war, occupying the
same position as Mr. Pendleton.: In all
their public acts and utterances, we defy
the Dispatch to fit d an expreesion ineon
sistent' with the resolutions adopted at the
4neetina referred to.
The statement that these genii/emen have
taken to "eating their owil words,"
therefore not a true one and we trust our
_cOtemporary will do tLx the justice of
withdrawing its unfair remarks.

tlia Many names by which it has been
known, the constant, bitter, envenomed
foe of Irishmen and the Irish character.
Hatred for the Irish ie the one distinctive
feature that characterizes it from all other
political parties. Its usual mode of en
mity, is.made manifest through falie char
ges, through vile insinuations, through
degrading comparisons, through contemp
tuous and insulting allusions, ar).d through

All INl o4 !.he Rsdical Republican leaders
know as ell as any one. But they think
they see an opportunity now to pander to
the feelings cf some disappointment and
some anger against the President, owing
to his action on the Fenian question,
which they hope to fan into animosity
and antagonism to the Democratic party,
which sustains him in his policy.for the
.preservation of the Union, and on that
grOund mainly. The daring to mko such
an attempt is the beat evidence that could
be adduced Of the low and contemptuous
opinion they enter:ain of the Irish char
acter. To suppose that they could sue
cesafully cajole the Irish-American voters
is to suppose that the voters of that class,
like mean cure and whipped spaniels, can

them, and to fawn upon the wretch whose
disposition is to degrade and outrgo

of offences and enmities against that peo
ple, es a maas,can be atoned for and wiped
out by a condescending smile which is be
stowed upon them for a selfish, if not
treasonable, purpose.
The a&tempt to manufacture political'
- capital oat of a temporary and net wid&
spread alienation from President John
son and the principles he represents, is
worthy only of the party that made the
attempt. No other would hare had the
unblushing impudence to do so. For
Irish-Americars to,cote for the Rtdical
traducers of their tcla..s, would be like
throwing one's self bodily into the jaws of
a hyOna. It would 'be' a sacrifice the most
infatuated that slne_men were ever guilty
of. The Radicals and the principles they
represent are the natural enemies of eve-
thing that is cal'ed Irish.. They hold
u. the negro as their superior. They put
the Irish against' him in comparison, that
they may justify their course of high lau
dation of the negro, and they hare here
tofore omitted no o•.plrtunity to load
them with opprobrium and scorn.
We have no fear. though, that this last
trick"of the demagogues who control the
Radical wing of the so•called Republican
party will meet with any considerable de•
gree of success , . The Irish people know
where their true ink ieg s ta lay ; they know
who represent the principles they hold
dear, and they recognize the Democratic
pitsity as the exponent of those principles;
ard sp long 45 it is true to itself,, so long
will the 'great body of Irishnkraerictins
abide by and sustain it.
TuAtgfiehl Republican endeavors
to appease some of its Radical readers by
assuring them that although the last Con
gress left undone many cots which they
wished adopted, it will finish up the work
Co their taste at the next session. It re
minds them that tome thirga which the
tali elections. Among these is negro suf
frage, of witich it speaks as follows
"Congress did not dare to make the
true issue just yet, but re elect the mem
bers and see if they do not !decree that no
Southern State shkll rettirni to the Union
until it has given suffrage to the negro.
This may be called the in-fei•ential or im
plied issue to b 3 used in the fall c-lections
in the districts where the people favor
equal suffrage. In districts opposed to
equal suffrage the constitutional amend
ment is exclusively the issue. All this is
pitiable, but true."
Truly it is pitiable, that a party claim
ing to be the representative of "great
moraLidens" should thus be continually
deceiving the people, in order to retain
power. The I?epul!ican's statement of the
issue is true to a dot. Let the people
sustain the Radicals, and they will not
only force negro suffrage on the South,
Lut endeavor to foist it upon every North
ern State.
IT may be 'a matter of curiosity to see
he chvnges which have taken place in
he definition of the word "loyalty" with
n a few months. Under the late admit:-
stration it was as follows :
Loren.—To approve of everything the
President, who is the government, says or
does, right or wrong.
Since Mr. Johnson's access on to the
Presidency the defioitionhas asaumei a
very material alteration. It is now de
scribed thus :
LOYAL —To disapprove of everything
the President. who is 'not the govern
ment, says or does, right or wrong; to
denounce him in the vilest terms, and to'
•st ilik
bred on to I k offices throughout the coun
try, cm the 013 means of continuing the
Radical suprem cy and power.

A dictionary of Radical phrases and
definitions at various periods of the last
five years, would be an exceedingly valu
able literary curiosity.

It rests with you, reader, to say. You

You must work hard from this hoar until

- MAJOR GENERAL BANKS, in a letter le
specting the Louisiana : Constitutional
Convention, s : "It was a peaceful and
lawful asseml4." Another Major General
—commonly called Phil. Sheridan--in a
dispatch to General Grant says: " The
leaders of the convention were political
agitators and revolutionary men, and the
• t i tion of the convention was liable to
produce breaches of the public peace. I
had made up my mind to arrest the head

disturb the tranquility of the Depart
ment ; but I had no cause for action until
they committed the overt act."
TUE NEW OULE sNB RIOT.
The Lieutenant Governoi: and Attorney
General of Louisiana and '-the Mayor of
New Orleans have sent a communication
to the President detailing' the history of
the late riot. They show that the object
of the convention of 1 1864 was purely rev
olutionary, anti that the intention was to
stir up the blacks to insurrection on the
of securing imaginary rights, in order
to elevate white deMagogues to places of
power. By the inflammatory speeches of
its members at the meetings on the
nights o the 27th and 28th the designs of
the revolutionists to overthrow the State
authorities ~were made. clearly manifest.
The convention itself numbered but 29
members (out of a whole number of 150),
and although lacking thirty-seven of a
quorum, the original President, Who did
not sympathise with the contemplated
revolt. was deposed and a negro suffrage
Radical was elected pro fem. The report
complains thaqten. Baird refuied to co
operate with the; civil and municipal au
thorities in prove4ing the meeting of the
Convention or ifs guarding against a riot,
and that he released the rioters who had
been arrested ' before an investigation
coul.l be had. It charges, also, that the
negroes were armed and prepared for
bloodshed, and that they commenced the
fighting. Twenlyseven rioters were killed
and a number wounded. Fosty-two po
licemen and a number of ciiizena were
killed 'or wounded. quhzrtnes3 now pre

Tun New York World argues that a
strong reason for treating the South with
lenity hi furnished by the doctrine of State
Sovereignty as it was interpreted by their
statesmen and accepted by the great body
of their people. If it were true that tL'e
first allegiance of the citizen is due to his
State, and only through his State to the
Federal Government, the Southern pee-
Ple would • have been morally bound to
accept the ctdinaacrs of secession. TI. at
they 'believed this doctrine is unOestion
able; and 'some 'respect is duo to a people
who loyally accept the consequences of a
mistaken belief. There is nothing in mere
error cf judgment to impeach the probity
of men's moral character. That they were
'misguided in their opinions was their mis
fortune. To minds which have not peen
them refuted, the arguments in favor of
the Southern view are so plausible as to
command tenacious belief. At any rate,_
a theoretical error is excasable in a nom
muuity who. have never seen its refute
Lion, especially . when that error was
.eerned the clearest truth by minds so
lf•ge as Jefferson's - and eo acuteas- Cal-
Lioun'i. The secessionists acted on the
belief in which they have. been educated,
and if they thereby incurred the guilt of
treason; it was only technical, not moral.
'lt was consistent with the pthst motives,
the strictest rectitude, the most self-sacri
ficing loyalty to what they believed to be
duty. To pursue such a people with ven
geance after they have given up the con
test, is alike unjust and inhuman.
• A rebellion in a tea-pot has been devel
oped in the city of Brotherly Love. The
quonditm Collector of the Port there re

an impudent letter to a meeting RE mer

questions he has proved .his unfitness to
occupy any officifil position under' the
Federal government. A man who thus
exposes his utter ignorance of the Con
stitution of the United States is unworthy
to occupy any position under it. Mr.
Thomas will, ere long, find that the Presi
dent of the United States is the appointing
powei, and that all the H idle:ahem of the
Senate cannot help his removal from an
office for which ho has shown himself
totally unworthy. - -
Tun Worcester 'Palladium no doubt
utters the opinions 'of a considerable per:
tion—the best portion--of the New Eng
land people, when it says: " What cur
industry needs is a policy that promises
stability ; so that' the people can adapt
themselves to that policy, whatever.it
and not be kept in uncertainty and per.,
turbation .by continual projects and move
ments for modifications and change. New
England men can. accommodate them
selves to almost any circumstances; but
then they Want- these circumstances to
have a character that will be stable and
permanent. But it is much against their
inclinations and interests to be forever
running' the gauntlet of Congressional prs ?
jects, that are enlivened . by nothing more
agreeable than sectional whips in the
hands of sectional men."
Tut strictest observance of constitution
al forms is our only source of safety.—
+here is nothing 'which the people: of all
parties, should so pertinaciously insist on;
nothing which all lovers of liberty should
eo jealously demand. Jf those on one
side tolerate, for their own purposes, viol
ations of the Constitution and the laws,
they will have to see them violated in the
interests of their 'opponents. We shall
presently come to the sad pass where, as
in Mexico, the party in power will claim
the right to do what it pleases, regardless
of Constitutiodand o laws ; and where onr
liberties will fall prize to the first am
bitious and unEwupulous leadzr who
chooses to snatch them and offer a Wearied
nation peace and order in exchange for
freedom. •
Tpa Radicals every day are makiog
themselves more ridiculous by their
whining and whimpering over the loss
of '•the loaves and , fishes." The Phila
delphia Prets:, last Week, published the
following:
Moat PRoscairmorr:—President John
son has ordered all the government ad
vertising to be taken from the Pittsburgh
Gazelle and given to the Pittsburgh Re
public, his organ .in that city. The
Gazette has been constant and faithful in
its rebukes of the recreancy of the Execu
tive.
These are the fellows who turned
out the Postmaster of the Senate, because
he was understood to support the ad•
ministration, and cut off Minister Har
vey's salary, because be had written a let
ter criticising the acts of Congress. .
-Fon NEGRO SUFFRAGE —ln a speech de
livered by General Geary, near Harrisburg,

In point cf talent and respectability, all re
ports agree that the convention.surpastcs any
previous gathering. The lowest estimate of
visitors ,on TueSday, the day when the con ,
vention assembled, sets them down at fifty
thousand. Among the prominent Republicans
at the convention are Postmaster-General
Randall, Sena t or Cowan, of Pa., Senator
Doolittle, of Wis., Senator Norton, of Minn.,

was greeted with great applayee, the -entire
audience risieg to their feet, and the band
playing ..The Flag of Our Union." Hon.

This wee followed by tremendous cheers for

vention will please come to order, and for tho
: -
purpose of effecting a temporary organization
of this convention, I propose the name of
General John 4. Dix, of New York, as Chair
inan of this Convention. [Applause.] General
Dix came forward and said:
Gentlemen of, the Convention and Folio,
Citize t ns of the whole Union—[Applause.]'. I
return to you my eincere thanks for the honor
of choosing me to preai le temporarily over
your deliberations. I regirdit a distinction
of no ordinary character, not only on account
of the high social and political standing of the
gentlemen cempheing this convention of the
people of alq the States Of the Union. [Ap
plausej And because we cannot doubt, if
its \ propeedings are conducted with becoming
and good judgment, that it will lead to most
important results. [Applause.] It may be
truly said that no body of men have met on
this continent td consider events so momen
tous and so important since the year 1787.
[Applause.] The yea4when our ancestors
assembled in this oily to form a better gov-.
ernment for the States which composed the
old confederation—a government which has
been confirmed and made more enduring, we
trust, by the fearful trials which it. has en
countered and overcome. [Applause.] The
Constitution which they same here to frame
we are here to vindicate and restore. [Ap
plause ] We are hero to assert the suprem
acy of representative government for all who
are within the confines of the Union. [Ap
plause.] A government which cannot with- 1
out a violation of its fundamental principles
be extended over any who are not represented
in it. [Applause.] Over those who by vir
tue of that representation are entitled to a
voice in the adm'nistration of public affairs.
[Applause ] It; was such a government that
our fathers formed and put in.operaticet it
is slob a government which - we are bouod by
every principle of fidelity, Aind justice, and
goad faith to defend and' maintain. [Ap
plause ]
Gentlemen, sici are now living under snob a
government. [Applause.] Thirty-six States
have for months been governed by twenty-five
States. Eleven States have been wholly with
out representation in the legislative bodies of
the nation. , The numerical proportion of the
represented and unrepresented Stated has
just been changed by the, admissien of the
delegation from Tennessee. A unit taken
from the smaller has teen put to the larger
number. But tea States are still denied rep
reeentation in Cingrese, to which they are
entitled under the Constitution. .The Presi
dent, not in pursuance of any. constitutional
power, had called on the Southern States to
accept conditions for their admission to the
exercise of their legitimate functions as mem
bers of the Union. The ratification of ' the
amendment to the Constitution abolishing
slavery, and the• repudiation of- debts Lcon
tracted to overthrow the governm at, were'
these conditions. , They were met a d accep
ted. The exaction of newlconditi a is un
just, and a violation of the faith of the Gov
ernment, subversive of the purposes of our
political system and 'dangerous to the public
prosperity and peace. [Applause.] Each
house of Congress may, as the judgeref •the
qualification of ill own members, reject indi
viduals for just eons; but the two bodies act
ing conjointly catinorexclude an entire dale-,
gation without'an unwarrantable assumption
of power. Congress has not only done this,
but has gone further; it has incorporated new •
conditions with amendments to the Constitu
tion, and submitted them for the ratification
of the States. There is no probability that
these amendments will he ratified by three
fourths of the States of this Union. [Ap
plause.] To insist on the conditions they
contain is to prolong indefinitely the exolu-
Nod of more than one-fourth of the States of
the - Union from their right to be represented
in the. legislative bodies. They had s right
under the Constitution—they had a right une
der the resolutions passed by both houses of
Congress in 1861. Those resolutions were not
concurrent; but they were substantially idea
tic.4l. Moreover, they, were entitled to be rep
resented .on other grounds, of fairness and
goad faith. It is this wrong which we bare
come here to protest against, and as far as in
,us lies, redress it. [Applause.] When the
President of the United States declared that
armed resistance to the authority of the Union
me over, all the States had o right to repre
sentation in Congress. [Applause.] Is this
the government our fathers fought to eetab ,
lish I' [Cries of "No."] Is this the govern
ment we have been fightins to preserve?
No."] , The President has done all in.
, Mil , power tp correct this wrong. Ile has done
Mlle his power to' restore. the rights. f the
Steles in the legislature of the country by
giving to each section its full Status. Legisla
tion without representation is an anomaly 'in
our political system. Under any other form
of government it would be but ansther name
for. usurpation' and misrule.
Gentlemen, 1 trust that in our deliberations
beta ire shall confine ourselves to our
main purpose, that of redressing the wrong
to; hich I have referred. There is much in
the odminietration of the government which
needs amendment. Some things need to. be
done, and others need to be undone. There
are commercial and financial reforms which
are iedispensible to the public welfare. But
we shall '
not have the power to carry out
the•e until We change the political complexion
or, Congress. [Applause.] This should be
oni first. and immediate aim. [Applause.]
It it, in the congressional districts that the
rOal contest is to take place.. The control of
ono body will enable us to prevent partial,
unjust and.pernicious legielation. The con
trol of both Henna, with the power to intro
duce and carry out sanitary reform to bring
the government back, in, the language of
Jefferson, to the republican track, will come
later: [Applause.] By wise harmoniem and
judicious action on cur part, and the part of
those we represent, that peeled need not. be
long delayed. I believe that public opinion
is ripe, and that it is only necessary to pre
sent to the people clearly the issues between
and-the other party which controls the ac
tion of Congress. And, gentlemen is not the
object for which we are contending a consuce
motion worthy of Our highest and most de
voted efforts—[applause]—to bring back the
republic; purified and strengthened by the
fiery ordeat through which it hoe passed. t 3
its ancient proisperity and power to present to
the worßan example worthy of imitation.—
No Utopian vision of good government, but
the grand old reality of the better times,
bringing up the memory of our tethers' and
the recollections of the past, and with the poet
and the future, inseparably intertwined, one
country, one flag, one Union of equal States.

For the distinguished ho or of being
called upon to preside over the delibera

you. I could have wisheti that the re

relying on that courteous it i and genermis
confidence which has cane -me to the

with' an earnest desire fc l r the success
of that great cause • icy vrhich we are'

opinion, will prove to be onFt of the great

renowned than war. I(applause.) This

not say a crowningvictory i [Cheers.) Per
the first time, in six years a national con
vention, representing all the !States is now
assembled. Six long, wearycyears ! As I
look back, oh! what an inlerval it is of
blood, and of gore and tears I During
that period we have been mimed in the
most guilty civil war the world has ever
seen, deluging it thousand b=attle fields in
fraternal blood, and carrying to fraternal,
graves our fathers, our sons,ird our broth
ers by hundreds of thousan 3. .

come. The assurances whirl' we here
witness, tell us that peace his come, and
come to stay. Oh 1 that my rellow citizens
of the whole people of the Vnited States
could see what we now witness ; the North
and South, the Etst and Were, joining In
fraternal association ant friends and fellow
citizens. p, * r
Our work would be already s j tone (cheers)
if they could have seen, as e saw, Massa
chusetts and South Carolina,thy their full
delegations, coming arm in arm into this
great Convention. (prthusiasiic applause.)
If they could have seen this body, greater
in numbers and in weight of haracter and
brain, than ov. r has 'MOMled on this
continent under one roof, zee ting to tears
of joy and gratitude to.witne 9 this )
com

the polls in the coming ele tiocs. (Ap

When I remember thatassachusetts
and South Carolina -in the) Convention
which, framed the Constit tion, voted
against the abolition of the ;slave trade ;
that it was Mithsachusetts, in 1793, which,
through seine of her men, taught the doc

of a common country, ready to make sac

again, could the whole peciplenf the Uni

(Loud cheers.)

If the people of Masaabhusetts herself
could have witnessed it, not a single Mem
ber would'be teturned to .Congress from
that State until he had given a most sa
cred pledge that he would lo all in his
power to recognize the equality and dig
nity of all the States under tlinConstitu
thin, including the sacred and 'inalienable
right . ' of every State under the Constitu
tion 'to representation in boli heusea of
Congress. .
Gentlemen of the Convention, I shall
go into no argument on this occasion.
[Cries of "Go ort."] The distinguished
gentleman who preceded me [Gen. Dix]
said all I would desire to say,rmuch bet
ter than I could say it. I endorse, and
take great pleasure in endorsing, all 'that
be hes Said, sentence by sentence, 'word
word by word.

people of the United Stsites are not beta
to witness what is now transpiring before I
us, and from this time until the next elec
tion we should be untiring in our exer
tions
to see; to it that the next Congress, 1
if this shall continue to refuse this sacreill
right of representation! to equal States,
shall recognize that tight. •
When that is done, the Union is re
stored. And when this'Union is restored,
we shall be prepared, in my judgment, to
enter upon a higher and nobler career
among the nations of the earth than ,has
ever yet been occupied by any govern

ever shone. We shall' Stand in the van

shall lead the way by the light of our ex.-,

any longer. I shall enter upon the duties
