Tux. PresidMit of the late Democratic con- -

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' "

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:

Total,
(*Kentucky elects nine Democratic repre
sentatives, but seven of them are now arbi
trarily and unjustly prevented from taking
their seats, by the 'Radical majority in Con
gress, for no other apparent reason than that
they are Conservatives. 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

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. '

A meeting was held in the Court house,

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.—IR view of
the momentous questions of the day, and the
meeting of the Democratic State Convention,
on the 4th of March, at Harrisburg, and in
accordance with the time-honored custom of
the party, we, the undersigned, respectfully
request the Democrats of the city and coun
ty, and all citizens irrespective of party, who
are in favor of sustaining the Constitution of
our country inviolate, to meet in convention
on Monday evening, at 7 &clock, the 2d of
March next, at the-Court House, in the city
of Erie, to select delegates to represent the
Democracy of the County in the State Con
vention, and for a more effectual organization
of the party. -

The meeting was called to order by C. Sei
gel, Esq., and organized-by the election of
James C. Marshall, Esq., as President ; C.
Seigel, M. Courtright, R. O'Brien and S.
Smyth, Vice Presidents; B. F. Sloan and E.
Camphausen, Esq., •as Secretaries. The
President explained the object of the meet
ing to be for the purpose of choosing dele
gates to the State Convention at Harrisburg.
Messrs. • E. F. Wilson, W. L. 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.

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.
The Convention then proceeded to select
a committee of Ave for - each ward and the

it's "toil" men; instead of patriots and Demo

THAT distinguished apostle and leader of
Radical ism,Parson -Governor-Senator B rown
low, writes to the Tennessee Radical State
Convention on the 22d, a letter, in which he
says : "If I were amember of the Convention,
I would have incorporated in the platform
the following, plank : That the bonds and
obligations of the general Government which
do not expressly stipulate for payment in
coin in the act authorizing their issuance, or
their face, should be paid in grandmas."
A COMIESPOI6EST of the Philadelphia
Age gives the following as a probable list of
members of Mr. Wade's Cabinet, mien it is
formed : Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts,
Secretary of State ; Freeman - Clark, of New`
York, Secretary of the Treasury; William'
D. Kelley, of-Pennsylvania, Secretary of the
Navy; Frederick Douglass, • (Colored,) of
New York"; Secretary of the Interior; John
M. Langston, (colored,) of Ohio, Postmaster
General; M. H. Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
Attorney General ; Edwin M.Stanton, Sec
retary of War, of course.
Tan New YoTli Evening Post, perhaphe
ablest and most sensible Republican paper in .
the land, makes the following admirable sug
gestion as to an'exit from - the present danger
ous complication :
"The Senate could easily settle the trouble
at Washington, by regarding the nomination
of Mr. Thomas Ewing, by the President as an
olive branch, and confirming him as Secreta
ry of War. Mr. Ewing is experienced in
public life, a gentleman of character and pos
ition, against whose" loyalty daring the war
there *as never a breath of suspicion; he is
the father-in-laW of Gen. Sherman."
IN the course of the impeachment investi
gation Mr. Stanley Matthews, a Presidential
elector, gave an account of a remarkable con
versation which he had. with Mr. Johnson in
Cincinnati, while the -Vice-President elect
was on his way to Washington to be inau
gurated. "He turned to me," Mr. Matthews
testified, and said : 'You and I were old
Democrats.' I said, 'yes.' Ile then said, 'I
will tel Lyon what it is ; if the country is ever
to be saved, it is to be alone through the old
Democratic party." If the Democratic par- -
ty was the only hope of the country, why
did he not support McClellan
Tire New York Lodger is publishing the
"Early Life of General Grant," in a series of
letters by Jesse It. Grant, his father. -Unless
the General's regard for veracity when a boy
was stronger than that manifested by him in
the Johnson-Stanton muddle, we fear that
Grant, senior, will not be able to furnish
Sanday-schbol orators with as pleasant a little
fiction in regard to truthfulness as the
biographers of Washington have done. We

GUS. GRANT As lACIAT - 1112CEIVER.
"Mack," the Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, has bad -an
other interview with the President, and
writes *as foliates concerning the Johnsoe-
Gran t affair •
"Mr. Johnson referred to that part of Gen.
Grant's correspondence in which the Gener
al asks him to reduce to writing the order
given to hire verbally, to disregard any order
received from Stanton, unless he knew it to
emanate from the Executive. 'Here,' said be,
'Gen. Grant asserts that Iliad given him such
a verbal order. I never did anything of the
kind. It was he himself who . first suggested
that I could take such a churse as to_reduce
Stanton to a mere clerk,-and it was thissug
ges-tion from hi m , and hot any verbal order.
from me that first brought the subject up in
that light. •
• "At this point the President produced a
letter &Om Gen. Sherman, dated Saturday
evening, January 18. Sherman says that it
was the intention of himself and Grant to
call on Stanton, on the following Monday, to
resign the office of Secretary of War but ,
he learns that Grant mast go to Richinoed;
and he to Annapolis, so that .they can't call
Stanton. on Monday, but ,will do so at some
other time, and. insist that he shall Milo.
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." " •
