PresidMit of the late Democratic con- - ventlon in Dauphin county' sends - us the fol lowing resolution adopted by that body, with a request to give it an insertion. Being an old personal friend, we take pleasure in com plying with his desire: • Readred, That the Democracy of Dauphin county applaud Andrew Johnson for every thing he has done, amidst menaces and diffi culties, in . defence of the Constitution and the fundamental principles of our govern ment, and that we pledge ourselves to stand by him as long as he sands by the Constitu tion and the liberties of the people." THREE QUESTIONS FOR EVERY MAN TO ANSWER HONESTLY. If the Southern States by act of secession or result of war are not out of the Union, how can Congress declare an amandment to the Federal Constitution ratified which has not received the sanction of three fourths o the thirty-seven States; as •by the Constitu tion is required Again— • If the Southern States are oat out of the Union, by what right is it attempted to make theme Southern Despotism, given over to oae man rule, as is proposed ? Again— If they ate out of the Union, (and on no other brio can a Despotism be there estab lished), hois came they out, eh= went they out, and in what way was the war a success ? BARD KNOCKS The New Fork Post hits its Radical breth ren in Congress some pretty hard knocks -on the impeachment question. It says: "Do the Republicans in Congress believe that the country will see with patience the most necessary legislation on the currency ant' the taxes put- off, in order that they may prosecute their quarrel with the President? Let them not so deceive themselves. Rave they no reason to fear that the people will punish also the quarrelers on the other side 4. that, Impatient of this incessant and dis graceful-squabble, the nation, which finds its voice next Noveinber, will unite in one con demnation of all, of both sides, who have so long neglected its interests to carry on this petty warefare of personality!, The use of a politician, in a free country, is to serve the people, and advance' measures which shall make them more comfortable and happy. There are men now in Congress who desire an honorable future ; would they not do well to see in what way they can do something for the people?" - Exsav idle workman should at once em ploy himself as a political missionary, to urge upon all who 'may come within the sound of his voice, or the scope of his inffit ence, the necessity of depriving from power the Jacobins who have seized upon the Gov emment, through the seductive aid of ".big bounties," destroyed our commerce, banished our shipping from the seas and loaded us with an unparalleled burthen of taxation, for the support of- the lazy negro, and the enriching ,of hordes of white fanatics 'who hate the poor; and would exalt a shod dy aristocracy. So long as the Jacobins rule, so long will they ruin. Power and plunder is their motto, and power and plunder they will have, if they are not properly resisted, until, perhaps; the figure of grass growing in our streets, and weeds choking the ways to our shipyards and factories, will become realized: Those before whose door the wolf stands unappeasable should work unceasing-. ly for the restoration of that form of Demo erotic government under which peace and plenty crowned every effort, our flag was borne over richly freighted vessel& in all the waters of the earth, and the hum -of happy industry was heard uninterrupted from Naine to Georgia. Every man who deplores the frightful aggregation of misery to which we have referred, and who does not wish to see 'it augmented until it strikes at every one not , supported out of the public treasury, should _work to kill Radicalism, the cause of It all. OZARY'II TELEORA3I. Among the sensation telegrams reported to have been sent last week in the interest of Congress was the following from the belli cose Gov.ernor of Pennsylvania : "Hattmantrito, Ps., Feb. 22, 1868 "Han. Simon Crtmenn, United Stales &nate, Washington, D. C. : "The news to-day bee created a profound sensation In Pennsylvania. The spirit of '6l seems again to pervade the Keystone -State. Troops are rapidly tendering their services to sustain the lams. Let Congress stand firm. "-No. W. GEARY." The Harrisburg Patriot says of the above dispatch: "Simon Cameron returned to liar risburg on Saturday afternoon, and, we are reliably informed, the above "telegram" to himself at Washington _ was concocted on Saturday night by him; Geary, and other Padicabt of this city.. Such a piece of petty htuabuggery to put that military failure "in the van" of treason against the Government, Is just about worthy of such corrupt parti sans. It Is sufficient to ,esy that "troops" in Pennsylvania arc about as 'earce as ben teeth,' and that nobody believes a single man has tendered him services in the cause of Bump usurpation and treason. In this city the publication of the dbove "telegram" merely excited broad and derisive laughter among the adherents of.all parties, and a prominent ex-officer of the State, a Repubii• pen, yesterday morning publicly pronounced /Geary to be an'old fool' " 'TEC ilexit forms °litotes and blanks in the Ay at the Ilbeereer Mee. tf. cOMIREss DOES NOT asantasErr TUE PEOPLE• The majority in Ceiniss no longer repre sents a majority of the people. Their de- . testable policy has'Only the support of a mi nority, and yet it is persisted in as if it had the sanction of the whole people : It is clearly the last desperate grasp of the revolutionary action to prolong their power ; and it seems to be the determination of these Jacobins to persevere In it, even at the terrible risk of re-kindling the horrors of civil war. To show that we make ne_idle statement when we say that the majority of the people are opposed to the majority of Congress, we di rect attention to the annexed table, shelving the vote of every State of the Union that held elections in ISC. In each State the Congressional policy of despotism, disunion and negro suffrage was directly in Issue. It will be seen that even In the Northern States —the "loyal" States—this policy has been re jected, and that the Rump Congress to-day, in its extreme measures, is not only legislat ing "outside the Constitution," • but outside and in direct opposition to the will of the people. I The following tables are made up from the Tribune Al :rse. The first one shows the vote in all the States that held elections in 1867: California, - Connecticut, lowa, - Kentucky, - Maine, - 'Maryland, - Massachusets, - Michigan, - Minnesota, - New Hampshire, New Jersey, - New York, Ohio, - - Pennsylvania, - Rhode Island, Vermont, - Wisconsin, - Total, - - 1,576,507 1,554,945 Democratic majority over the Radi cals in seventeen States, - The States represented in Congress, and not included in the above table, (not having -held general elections last year) are Dela ware, Illinois, Indiana, Sansas, Missouri, Nevada and Oregon. if elections bad been held in these States, it is manifest that,the Radicals would have been beaten in every one of them, save possibly Illinins and Mis souri. In these they might have suc ceeded by email majorities ;. but the general result would_ have been unchanged, and the Democratic party would have had in the States represented in Congress—the "loyal" States - -a majority on the popular vote of the nation of from fifty to one hundred thousand votes ! We, of course, do not, include the Brown low despotism in the above figures.- The vote of poor Polandized Tennessee, with its disfranchisement of white men and enfran chisement of ignorant and degraded negroes indicates nothing as to the general sentiment of the ruling class of the nation. It only shows what can be done With bayonets and negroes. Now, - let us look at the representation of the above named "loyal" States in Congress, that we may arrtve at a correct conclusion of how truthfully the Fortieth Congress repre sents the-people of the United States: RE.VATE. HOUSE. Dem. Rad. Dem.

In Maryland; a Dem ocratic Senator, for like reason, is debarred from his ri"hts,, by such traitors and (revolu tionists as Sumner, Chandler, Wade and their associates.] The point to which we wish to direct special attention is this : In the Fortieth Con gress 1,576,507 Democratvare repreAented by aeeen Senators and thirty-threeßepresentatives while 1,554,945 Radicals are represented by lteenty-sit Senators and one hundred and four Representatives. The Democrats, with _a majority of the popular vote of the country, have only one-fifth of the Senators and Rep resentatives. The total vote cast for President in 1864, in the twenty-three States represented in the Electoral College, was 3,883,604, and Mr. Lincoln's majority was 495,804. This year, in seventeen States, casting nine-tenths of the popular vote of the nation, the total ioterwas 3 131 452 and' in this vote the Democratic party has a majority of 21562. Yet the Rad icals in Congress have three-fourths of both branches, notwithstanding they are today in a minority in the nation.—lillaburgh Post. - [From the N. ,Y. World.] THE HIGH CHIME THE. REAL CRIMINALS. Were the President as guilty as he is guilt less, there are men at Washington guiltier than he, and a greater crime is doing than any he is accused of a Impeachment is but the blind of these greater criminals to hide this greater crime. It behooves the people of the United States to keep their attention fastened on this great crime—the crime of the Republican party and the Rump Congress —the crime of Disunion. Eiery other crime of theirs is less than this, or is adjuvant to this the greatest of their crimes. Their ,usur patio!' of the poivers of the Executive:;"their usurpation of the powers of the Judiciary their attempted occupancy of the Executive chair by the impeachment process; their squandering of the public ire - Timm , : their wholesale frauds upon the revenue; their continuance of the whiskey tax at two dol. la's so as to get a few millions of money for carrying the November elections by suffering the whiskey thieves, and the bribed revenue officers to plunder the people offilty their usurpation of the rights of States to control the suffrage and their prostitution of the power thus usurped to abridge white suf frage and confer the ballot by wholesale upon ignorant blacks; these indeed are crimes, but they are less than, or tributary to, their greater crime. Four years of successful war they prosti tuted to party purposes. Three years of com plete peace they have prostituted to party purposes. Disunion still exists, despite suc cessful war, despite entire peace. Party as cendancy is still their sole purpose, and their plan is to maintain it by negro supremacy worked through a military despotism over ten States. Grant has consented to be their tool in working the military despotism, hut he is only the tyneral of the armies of the United States. A successful despotism is not assure , ' unless they can cents)) the Comman der-in-Chief. Hence they impeach the Pres ident who was the choice of the people, to replace him by another who has just bear ectedcby the people. Wade will be their re tool. Johnson will hot. Disunion prolonged to keep the Republi can party to powei; Negro supremacy worked by Military Despotism IQ keep the Republican party in power alter Disunion be c.omes impossible ; These are the high crimes of the Republican party, these the high mis demeanors of the Rump. These high crimes and misdemeanors of their own they now leek to abet, yet draw attention *mm. by OMT aenaati9nal impeachment of the Pteakkitt of the United States, - • Their charges against President JohnsOW are trash. It is scandalous effrontery to t* ter or to urge them. They deserve not the dignity of a flat dental. It is an insult to the understanding of any man to demand their disproof. The obstinate defender of the Constitution they impugn as its violator.— Their charges are triish, as their schemes are glass. Not he is the criminal. They are the trai tors. The Rump Congress are usurpers and revolutionists. They band together and hoot their scandalous and impudent lie in the face of the nation, against the Chief Magistrate. whose crime for them has been that he has upheld and obeyed the Supreme Law—that he has refused to conspire with them in disobedience and disunion, in usur pation and treason. .Let the people keep their eyes on the real traitors and the great crime. Let them watch the genuine criminals as they go through their solemn mockery of impeaching him who refused his consent to every step of their crime. Let them fasten their glize on the usurpers, the traitors, the disunionists who make of this solemn procedure of an injured nation the instrument of their hate against the steadfast upholder of the nation's laws. Mark the revolutionists of the Rump as they insult the face of day with the pretence of a concern for the laws which in their bands have been nothing but the record of a party caucus and the register of patty plans—for the Constitution which is everywhere rent with the trampling of theit brutal heels. Let the sensation-spectacle of a great Im peachment go on. Let traitors be the min- - isters of Justice, let usurpers affect regard for the divisions of power in the structure they have undermined, let revolutionists up hold the Ark of, the Covenant, let a faithful Chief Magistrate stand in .the dock and a Chief Justice preside who is ambitious of his chair ; let the amazing mockery go on, but refuse to be deceived by the disguises of their role, 0 fellow citizens! and forget not for a day the - rest criminals and their high crimes.

Scotland B. F. Sloan were chosen a Committee 'on Resolu tions, who reported the following: WHEREAS, The Democratic County Com-, mittee, in defiance of the time-honored usa ges of the party, and in - contravention of one of its fundamental principles, viz :_ that "all power is inherent in the people,"—have at tempted to usurp the right to appoint dele gates to the 4th of March Convention, by se lecting three of their own number as said 1 delegates, which said right can only be exer cised by duly appointed delegates from the several wards, boroughs and townships of the county, except on extraordinary occa sions, such as the wilful neglect of the county committee to call such a convention, as in the present case, and _ WIIEREAS, The present state of the coun try is such that the views and wishes of the Democratic masses should be represented in said convention, instead 'or the private purpo ses of three our tour self-constituted leaders, therefore, I?ee'lred, That B. F. Sloan be appointed Senatorial delegate, and J. Ross Thompson and E. Camphausen, as Representative dele gates, to represent the Democracy of the county in said convention, and -WitEßEss, The existing conflict between Congress and the President—both having been elected by the Republican party, Is a national dishonor, for which the Democratic' party is in nowise responsible ; nevertheless, as lovers of the Union and the Constitution, as transmitted to us by the Fathers of the country, we are not indifferent to the vital issues of the controversy. Therefore Resolewl, That we hereby enter our solemn . protest against the partizan and unconstitu tional re-construction legislation of Congress ; and declare our belief that patriotism, sound policy, and" the financial interests of the country, demand that the Radical niajority of Congress, should be willing that the issues In volved in said controversy, be submitted to a decision of the Supreme Court —a majority of the judos of which are Republicans and appointed by President Lincoln, rather than incur the danger of forcing the country into another civil war by attempting to impeach the President for political offences or differ ences, or for claiming -a prerogative exercised :by every previous chief magistrate of the nation, and which the Constitution author izes and good government requires. Resolver!, That the present depressed con dition of the country, with its prostrated busi ness, paralized industry, oppressive taxation, and threatened political anarchy, are the di rect result of the unwise and unconstitutional reconstruction legislation of Congress, where by the enterprising and educated white peo ple of ten States are made the political inferiors of the uneducated. and Ignorant blacks. -4 3 2 3 10. 21 3 16 6 18 26 33 104 Rewired, That while we are in favor of maintaining the national faith to Its creditors inviolate, we are unalterably opposed to pay ing the nch creditor in gold, and the poor in paper—that a currency which is good enough to pay the soldier, the widow and the orphan, as also the laborer, is ,good enough to pay the bondholder; and hence, that the bonds of the government, which are made payable on their face in `lawful money; so declared by Congress and by the Courts, popularly known as "greenbacks," may be justly and honorably redeemed with the same ; and it is the duty of the government to pay them off as rapidly as they become due, or the. financial safety of the country will permit. • Reeolred, Thatit is the duty of the United States to prOtect all citizens, whether native or naturalized,Lu all their 1% , a1 and just right, whether at home or abroad, without - regard to the pretended claim of foreign nations to perpetuate allegiance. Rereel, That the right to confer suffrage, is Inherent In the State, and not in the gen eral government. Therefore, while justice and sound policy alike, demand that the ne gro race shall be protected in all personal rights, and educated, we believe the time has not yet arrived to place in its hands the ballot, in Pennsylvania, or elsewhere. Re-wired, That for the purpose of organizing. the Demoratic party of this county so as to insure the casting of every Democratic vote of the next election, a committee of live from each ward of the city and of South Erie, be appointed to organize a Central Democratic Club in the' city, with atikiliary clubs in every township in the county.

Then Sherman goes on to say that if Stanton won't resign it will be time enough to look to 'ulterior considerations.' "'Now; said the President, 'these ulterior considerations were nothing else than the suggestions of Grant himself that Stanton should be treated as a mere clerk, and confin ed strictly to the execution of the duties im posed neon him by the letter of the law. And yet, having suggested this and urged it upon me, he writes me a letter asking mete reduce my verbal order to writing. It was his own verbal order, not mine. fet he makes it ap pear from his letter'that the first intimation came from me, and that he never said a word about it until I had spoken of it. •That's a fair specimen of the way he has been act ing all along. This whole matter is not the first or the only time he has played that part. It's only one of a great many instances in which he has grossly deceived me. ' J got a dispatch one-day from Georgia, telling me that Meade and Jenkins had been in consul tation, and that it was probable that Meade wouldvemove Jenkins.. I sent for General Grant, and he came over. I showed him the dispatch and told him I would not like Jen kins to be removed until Leonid hear some thing more about the matter. He assured me that he would see to it that Jenkins was not removed. I thought this was enough ; but judge of my surprise when the next day I learned that Jenkins was removed. I don't believe Grant interfered at all, though he distinctly promised me he would. That is the kind of game he has been playing ell along.' • GENERAL tIRANT ON A " WHITE MAN'S GOV ERNMENT." "Just here a little question of veracity oc curred to my mind, which I though it well enough to settle. It was this: Some time in the early part of .the winter a paragraph ap peared in the Commercial's .Washlngton.cor , respondence to the effect that Col. Hillyer, formerly of Gen. Grant's staff, had,told a member of the Judiciary Committee hat he once was present at a conversation between Gen. Grant and the President, in which the former took strong ground in favor of a white man's government and against negro suffrage saying, that -this government was made for white men: and none other-should have a voice in it—and striking his fist on an adjacent table to show that he meant what he said. When this paragraph appeared it was extensively copied, and about as extensively. denied, especially by that large class of news papers and 'Grant men who, having no means of ascertaining whether it was true or false, 'felt all the more sure 'it was false, and de nounced it as one of 'Mack's' malicious flub rications. "I called the President's attention to Ilib; subject—asked him if he remembered any such conversation with Grant, and if so, whether he remembered Grant's remark that this is a white man's government. He promptly replied that he did. 'He couldn't repeat Grant's words exactly, but the sub stance of them wee - what I had stated, and they were strongly. against negro suffrage, which, about that time, it was- proposed to introduce into the District of Columbia. Among other things Grant said was that the' negroes didn't know enough to vote, and that they would vote Just as their employers wanted them to. He illustrated by saying that be had a number 'of negro servants in his house, and that to let them vote would' be simply to give him (Grant) so many addi tional votes, for. they would vote just as he told them. He was quite vehement at the time in his denunciations of the Radical pol icy of negro suffrage. "The above, think, -settles the question of veracity as JO Grant being a white man's gov ernment man. It is pretty well , authenticated now." - A WAR-WOlai veteran of : the Union army gets off the following on Gen. Grant : 1 . "Grant is in, the condition of a boy who was about to start out in the world, and as he was a great favorite with, his mother, though a complete simpleton, she gave him this piece of advice : "Now, Tom, keep your mouth shut and people will not know Iron are a fool !" Tom, a dutiful.boy,remembered - the maternal advice. lie had been from home, however, but a little while, when an inquisitive old Yankee commenced asking some questions, and, upon his obstinate silence, turned away in disgust, exclaiming, "Bah, he's a fool." Tom went back to his mother, and his first words were, "Mother, I kept my mouth shut,' but they found .me out." " • The 22d at Amboy, Ohio. Although the day Was bitter cold, agoodly portion of the Democracy of the townships of Conneaut and Kingsville, ,Ohio,- with a smart sprifildingfrom over the Erie county tine, assembled at the Buckeye House, Am boy ,for the purpose 'of celebrating the anni versary of: the birth of Washington. - The meeting was, organized by electing Squire Ransom, President ; J.

Car lin;regretting his inability to' be present at the meeting, A. Woodworth, Esq., of Erie county,pa.,akidresied the meeting for an hour, handling the Radical party In such a manner is to convince all - present that he was master of the situation.
