Citizens who have borne arms in defense of the nation against treason have especial interest in the purpose of this Convention, tion to the brave defenders of the" country as possible should be secured on this occa sion. J. F. HARTRANFT, Late Bi evet Major General, U. S. A. In accordance with the above call a county meeting of honorably discharged officers and soldiers of Cumberland Codray will be held at Rhe . em's Hall in Carlisle on Thursday the 28th of May at 11 o'clock, A. M. to select Fae Delegates to represent the county in said Convention and to make arrangements for appointing Senatorial Delegates in con nection with York County. The Two Policies The policy of the President, anti the policy of Congress, relative to reconstruction, ar as wide apart us the poles, as distinct as right and day, and as antagonistic as Evil and Good. The object of those policies are hostile and'as conflicting as were the issues at stake when the armies of secession and of the Union met in mortal combat on the gory fields of the war. Secession was then struggling for the ascendency of its oligar chy; the Union armies floated the banner of Liberty and Union. The spirit that in cited and carried on the rebellion was hostile to true Democracy, believed the Southern oligarchs born to rule the continent, and was impatient with the political equality with them of the " mudsills" and " small fisted farmers" of the North. The genius of loy alty to the Union incited purer and nobler inspirations, and the soldiers of the North fought for the principles of the Declaration of Independence, for the Union of their fathers, for a broad humanity, and for pro gressive civilization and enduring peace. In the civil contest now waging, nearly the same issues are involved. The first de mand of the President's policy is that the rebels shall be restored to power. And let the reader contemplate for a moment what this restoration portends! Rebel hostiiitv to the Union i 9 only partially allay-ed. The doctrine of State Sovereignty, which inevi tably and logically leads to secession, is still cherhdied and boldly proclaimed by the late traitors. They declare that in justice they should paid for their liberated slaves, that the Confederate debt -h. , uld be assumed by the National government, that their soldiers and the widows of their soldiers should be penSioned as are Union soldiers and widows of soldiers, that those who suffered in private property should be remunerated for their losses, that their representation in Congress should be increased nearly one-fifth, and that, in short, the government of the coun try should be restored to their hands. Au dit,— pnlicv—whether Ile is able to grasp its whwe effect or nut—contem plates all this, and n - ore. It would put the government into the hands of rebels, who would destroy or radically change its character. The policy of Congress has for its great central and first object the retention of power in the hands of loyal men. It wants the Union secured, peace guaranteed, j.t stiee recog nized, liberty something more tan a rhe torical flourish, representation put on a fair basis, _traitors to give some evidence of their converstion before being clothed with the el- eetive franchise, the national solvency pro tected, rebel debts repudiated, loyalty hon ored, and treason made odious. What friend of the country can hesitate in choosing us to which of these policies - he shall adhere? If the President's policy were triumphant, Alexander H. Stephens, late Vice President of the rebel Confederacy would to-day be holding a seat in the United States Senate, and Jefferson Davis would soon follow him. Is this the way to punish traitors, or to make treason odious ? Is it just or respectful to those thousands who periled their lives and endured years of exposure in defeating Davis and his follow ers that the rebels should be restored to power without any security or guarantees for their future good behavior? and is it not an insult to the nienipries pf those thousands of gallant dead whose dust now lies all over the South—whose bravo young lives were given up. th at traitors might bo conquered and the nation live—to invite men whose. hands are yet red with their. blood to come in and accept high places of honor and trust Under the government' they so desperately and wickedly labored to destroy? There is 113 higher crime under our laws than Allikt - et treason.' Yet if Mr. Johnson's policy prevails, this great crime will go un punished. What- justice, • tllen, is there in punishing inferior crimes? Why punish the man.who steal a loaf of hread,.to keep t. im self and family from starving, if you - permit the greatest criminals of the age not only to go unpuhished, but invite them to assurye the control of your . government? Such in- justice and pavtialiti could not but have a disastrous result.. If the men who struck at the nation's life, who cense(' thousands of valuable lives to be sacrificed, and millions of Meiney to he Spent, tire to be . treated as President Johnson's : policy contemplates .they should be, then let every prison door in the lied be thrown open, and the .crim inals of , a lower grade than treason qie. re stored to that liberty and position which is' nowLdenlid_them.

" On the 19th of December, 4 1860,4 his place in the United States Senate, as a plemH ber for Tennessee, Mr. ANDREW JOTINRON made some deliverence on the authority'and.' duty of that body in the matter of noinina-i, : tions to office, which are .eminently sound • and specially deserving of consideration the present time. Hear him : " How has Lincoln been elected, and upon what basis does he stand? A minority President by nearly a million votes; but had the election taken place upon the plan proposed in soy amendment fu the Constitu tion, by districts, he would have been this dey defeated. But it has been done accord ing to the Constitution and according to law. I am for abiding by the Constitution ; and in abiding by it, I want to maintain and re tain my place jsere and put down Hr. Lin coln, and drive back his advances upon South ern institutions, if he designs to make any. Have we not got the brakes in our . hands? Have we not got the power? We have. Let South Carolina and her Senators come back ; let all the Senators come; and on the slt/s of March next we .shall have a majority of six to this body against him. This successful sec tional candidate wild is in a minority of a mil lion, or nearly so, on the popular vote, cannot snake his Cabinet on the 4th of March next unless this Senate will permit him." " Am I so great a coward as to retreat from duty ? I will stand here and meet encroach ments upon the institutions of my country at the threshold ; and as a man, as one that loves cmy country and my constituents, 1 will stand here snd resist all encroachments and advan ces. Here is the place to stand. Shall I desert the citadel and let the enemy conic in and take possession ? No. Can Mr. Lincoln send a foreign minister or ere?, a consul abroad un less he receives the .sanction of the Senate. Can he appoint a postmaster whose salary is over a thousand dollars a year without the consent of (lie Senate? Shall we desert our posts, shrink from our respoiwibilities, and permit Ms . Lincoln to come with his cohorts, as ire consider them, from the iVorth, to carry ~eticX.Yl ‘ (i k ' i?r, st atm': not c iiiquered, we shall do this'? Yes we are defeated accord ing to the forms of law and the Constitution ; but the rind victory is ours—the moral force is with us." No competent judge of style in literary composition would need eternal evidence to convince hits that ANfikEW ,JoilicsoN made that speech. It is marked with all the excellencies and defects of his man tier. But it sets forth strongly and a_ curately, the power of the Senate in appointments to of fire under the general government. 110 had 110 idea the Senate was a initching to register the edicts of the President. 11,. has no such idea now, whatever he may attempt to accomplish by bluster, by boldness, by ob stinacy. Ile recognized the fact that Congress had by law taken the power of appointing post masters, vhose compensation is less than one thousand dollars a year, from the President, and given it to the Postnnister-General. Ile knew that try a majority of two-thirds itt each of the two Houses the President could be stripped of the right of nomination in all but the highest grades of appoint ments. As a Senator, he felt the dignity and importance of the body to which he be longed. He did not over-estimate it. The blllowing year, that is, the •2Mli of July, 1861, Mr. dottN:-.:,:r returned to the subject, and said: Then, is the mere defeat of one 1111111, and the election of another according to the forms of law and the Constitution, sufficient cause to break up this Government? No, it is not sufficient cause. Do we not know, too, that if all the seceding Senators had stood here :Is l'Aithrill SVlltillOk, representing the interr,t , . of their States, they had in their : poser ta Cheek a)/ ra that alight be 'Marie by die rhea:1)1111y Administration 1 'I showed these facts and enumerated them at the last se-sion. They were shown here the other d:\. the 4th of March, when President Liiieoln was inaugurated, we bad a majority of six upon this flour in opposition to his Administration. W here, then, is there even a pretext for breaking up the Government upon the idea that he would have encroactiott upon our rights? Does the nation know that lir.

' So much for a pirate, who surrendered and violated his honor by running away. The Pittsburg Commercial has prepared tables showing that while groceries. clothing and other articles of 'common use have de creased in cost 22 per cent. since April, 1865, there has been an increase in the wages of mechanics of 21 per cent., making 43 per cent. in favor of labor for 1866, as compared with 1865. Thus wages and prices bear nearly the sable relation to each other as be fore the war, and we are prepared to goon under the present system of inflation till the debt shall be chiefly paid, provided the Government will let it be paid within ten years.

The genius of American mechanics lirmi.need the cotton-gin the, mechaniCal reaper., and mower, the 'setTng machine; 'but not least, the wonderfnl machinery — of the American Watch Company of Waltham. This Company was established in 1850, and has grown in proportions which entitle it to a first rank among the manufacturing en terprises of We New World. It employs tween 000 rind 1,000 artisans of superior skill-' and character, and a large quid thriving tow n has grown up in • ite vicinity. The factory colersover three acres of ground, and as an it . ustration of its extent,' we may mention /VAL it is supplied with more than 60 miles of iron pipes and produces an aggregate of nearly 75,000 watch per annum the founders of this comp y believed that the same delicate mechanical processes which bad produced such remarkably perfect re sult in larger machines, might be applied with even greater advantage to the produc tion of the watch. The foreign time-pieces are made principally by hand, and except when of high cost, an imperfect article, often out of repair, and of little value is the r.-- suit. Abroad, :hese mysterious and infi nitesimal organs which, when aggregated, produce the watch, are the fruit of slow and toilsome manual processes In the results; there must of course be lack of that perfect unformity which is indispeneible for cor rect time-keeping.

At any rate it is gratifying to know that there is a visible abatement in the bitterness which marked the differences between the Executive and two houses of congress at the commencement ul'tho session. and this bids one almost to hope that a paei Ilea lion between these two branches though distant, may not be i in probable. Reptiblican statesmen and journalists who lend a quasi support to the President, scorn with just indignation the iniputatioa , that by so doing a disposition is shown to coalesce with the fossil remains of the Democratic party, by which to form a combination hos tile to the political organization in power. The principles that actuated the copperhead element during the last four years of the nt ry . 4 ex i,to.noo. are well understood here by the Union party—that party which all through the war n nintained the national honor and integrity—to be synonymous with corruption and anarchy. It would take ad vantage of the trouble arising from diversi ty of opinion in regard to restoration, to bolster up its fast depicting ranks, and re animate its expiring life by false protesta tions of friendship lot-, and delusive preten sions of being en rapport with the present administration. Hat this " flattering unc tion" is vainly laid to the soul of the defunct organization in question, when we reflect that the same great political party which elected Andrew JonxsoN Vice President of the United States, also chose the pregent majority to Congress, and in the fall of 1864 a common sentiment animated the candi dates and supporters of the Baltimore plat form, - no one in the ranks of the Union hosts can doubt its unadulterated patriotism, and ability to found this government "after its rescue,from civil peril by the toils of war," upon a righteous and permanent peace foot ing. In the accomplishment of this great work these differentes of opinion, I cannot but imagine, will be but evanescent when the grand object in view is generally com prehended ; and in thus grasping and direct ing the destinies of the Republic, neither the President nor republican party—with both its elements of ultraism and conservatism— ask or desire the co-operation of the malig mints and distinionists above indicated. The important congressional proceedings during the week li v e been the rejection (iii the Semite) by a vote of 23 to 16 of the pro :posed amendment to the post office appro priation bill restricting the President's power of removal and appointment' during the re cess of Congress. The bill without being .hampered with the "rider" was then passed. This actioA on the amendment is not regard ed as a test vote, as the restriction clause will probably come up ir, another form em bodied in a distinct bill, for the posing() of which several` Senators who were averse to the amendment, have expressed a willing ness to vote. After much discussion the House on Thursday, under the operation of the pr - vious questions, demanded by .Mr. STEVENS of Penna.; adopted the joint resolutions pro 7 posing an- nmendinent to the Constitution, reported'on the 30th ult.,,from the commit tee on reconstruction. Contrary to - general expectations the third section, which ,do cloves "that persons who voluntarily aided or adhered to the.rebellion shall not vote for Federal officers until after Suly'd, 1870," and which met with considerable opposition, was ,retained.t - . On motion of Mr. Morrill it was ordered that the Hoes() should hold night session for the eXcluSiVO' eonsiaeratiOn 'of the bill to amend the internal' revenue laws, which is now pending..

The " maidens fair and matrons grave" employed in the departments as copyists and counters have been remembered also by our gallant Congress, but in a kindlier manner than their male confreres, ns evidenced in an amendment added by the Senate comm ittee on finance to the House legislation bill, pro viding that those whose legal compensation now amounts to $ 750 per annum, shall, on and after the lstJuly next receive an annual salary of $ 900 each. Each ono is also to receive $lOO out of what is known as the gratuity appropriation. The official reports of the Assistant Com missioners of the Freedmen's BurAtu, to the Commissioner, now being received for the month of April, show a continued improve ment in the relations between the white and blaelt race in the states recently in rebellion. 'The freedmen seem to be gaining a more correct notion of their responsibilities as well as privileges in their now character ; and where they conduct themselves inoffen sively, the whites are becoming more dis posed to trent them civilly and deal justly with them.

ATTEMPT TO BURN A enuiten.:-On Sabbath - morning last„about two o'clock a bold attempt was made 'to burn the Second Presbyterian church in this place, but den tinily the fire was discovered-before mueli damage was done. It seems the•rulscreants gained adrnisSion - to the basement:through' window. They then kindledri,fire the stairway loading from the basement "to the vestibule. The flames in their progress reached a jug of Sacramental wine, which exploded with considerable noise and awakened Mr. Hanteh, ywhoge residence ad- TO the church: Mr. U., on being awakened saw the smoke issuing from •the windows and at once repaired to the Pomfret street door of the Lecture Room and forced it open; he then arroused a number of the neighbors and by their united efforts the flames were subdued. The. damage done ,is confined to the floor and stairway in the basement ; but had the fire not opportunely been discovered when it was, the building would doubtless have been inflames in a few moments more. On the same night an attempt was made to fire the stable of Mr. Samuel Goodyear, residing on South Hanover Street, above Pomfret. The fire had bsen kindled near the door and burned the adjoining wood work, but wont out of itself. Had the ef fort been successful this would doubtless have been one of the most destructive fires which has visited this town for many a year. The arson, robbery and villiany now 'run ning riot in this town are almost without a parallel. We scorn to be living in a reign 9f terror. A feeling of insecurity and danger prevades the entire community. Every man feels that he is at the merry of these oillnirre who prowl about in the darkness and strike their blows at the peace and security of so ciety when the world around them is wrap ped in slumber.

From this base of operations privateers are to be fi tted out under letters of marque from the Irish Itepublic, Which goN ernment, according to the Dr's. theory, is to be immediately recognized by the I [tilted States, as a belligerent. These privateers are to prey upon English com merce driving it from the seas, thereby bringing John Bull dow' upon his marrow bones in abject suit for mercy. Mr. AleWiwites, a young and fervent Irish Fenian, fresh from the sod of the North of Ireland, followed in an impassioned and rather eloquent speech, much in the sante strain of the former speaker. lle closed with an earnest appeal to his countrymen to sign a muster roll which he presented pledg ing thtiniselrus to Hal "LI twenty fu 1/ r hours notice. lie asked for contributions of money or cartridges. We didn't remain to see what success the cause received but from appearances at the close of this latter gentleman's remarks it occured to us that the enthusiasm had about subsided with his OEM Seriously we think this Fenian movement a huge ".goal(," the net result of which will be the es penditure of a considerable amount of gas. the filling of the pockets of a few enterprising gentlemen and the probable punishment of a few adventurers who are more largely endowed with rash courage than discretion or gumption.

Letters wore received from T. C. Stevenson M. D. of Carlisle, R. T. Harman M. D. of Green castle, and E. W. Garborich M. D. of Kings ton, regretting their inability to be present. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted and the following officers elected : President, J. H. Marsden M. D. of York Sulphur Springsr Adams county. Secretary, Wm. H.

D., M. Frieze, M. D. and J. J. Bender M. D., wore elected delegates to the State Medical Convention, and Win. H. Cook M. D., a delegate to the American Institute of Homeopathy. The special object of the society being im provement of the science of medicine, Bu reaus On lelnterin Modica, Endomio and Epi demic diseases, Clinical, Medicine and Sur gery, will be established in connection with the American Institute of Homoeopathy. Tho co-operation of all physicians practicing in these and adjacent counties on the law of siniilitc similibus curantar are respectfully invited. " It is scarcely thirty years since the intro duction of Homoeopathy into the- United States, and but four years longer into the old world, yet there aro now in successful practice near five thousand Homeopathic , Physicians in America alone, and its patrons are ,ntnbprod by hundreds, of, thousands both ifi this country and Europe.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.—It is but a day or two since we beard a well dressed young man majestically announce ton well filled railway car, that "alt newspapers were humbugs" and - had "no principles, nosintel lOW in them. It did not surprise us, a few minutes later, to see copies of the Police Ga zette and Budgel of Fun sticking from his pocket. They were the best measures of his intellectual calibre. But while such as he condemn all newspapers, all thinking persons will endorse the following which we clip from an exchange: "Nothing is more common than to hear people talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising, etc., as so much given in charity. Newspapers, by enhancing the value of p •operty in their neighborhood, end giving the localities in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit all such, partic ularly if they are merchants or real-estate owners thrice the amount yearly t... ...o— gre sum they pay for their support. Be sideS, every public spirited citizen has a laudable pride in having a paper of which he is not ashamed even though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. "A good looking thriving sheet, helps to sell property, gives character to the local ity, and in all respects is a desirable public convenience. If from aoy cause, the matter in the local or editorial columns he not quite up to the standard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it of no account until you are satisfied that there has not been more labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. If you want a good readable sheet, it must he sup ported; and it must not be supported it a spirit of charity, but because you feel a necessity to support it. The local press is the power that moves the people." .4crial Notices R. 2, MrOLIME, of Chamher,burg, will open a Vora Music Class, for Ladies and Gentlemen, In the Loctur Room of the First PresbyterMn Church, on next Mon day Evening (May 21st.)

Report of Visitors of Poor House, for 1805. TO'the Honorable, the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Cumberland Coun ty. The undersigned, appointed by your Honors, Visi tors of the Poor House for the year 1805, beg leave re spectfully to Report; that having In discharge of their duties visited this institution, from time to time dur ing the past year, and thoroughly examined on each occasion, the condition of the Farm, the Poor House, and ite pauper inmates, they at al times found every-, thing In a condition that met their unqualified ap probation leaving nothing since or different, in their opinion, to be expected or desired. The farm farm buildings, fences, &c., here in excellent condition,— the last season's crop largo, and that for the ensuing season among the most promising in the neighborhood. The Poor Ileum was always found in an , admirable sanitary coalition, considering its somewhat defective construction, (errors which itasunderstood, now, that the building has been destroyed will bo remedied In Ito reconstruction). The paupers were always cleanly, properly provided with food and clothing, and so• far as they possessed capacity, industrious, orderly, and cheerful. In view of those facts, the undoreigued doom it not inappropriate to Congratulate the people of thescounty upon the fortunate choice and judicious retention of the present Steward and Btowarilese Thoso positions require for the proper discharge of their varied, and often delicate and unpleasant duties, a combination of qualities, which though seldom found In those lam occupy them, aro behoved to be pOssessed in an emi nent degree by Mr. and Mrs.' Snyder : Teat ho is an excellent farmer, is shown by the receipts from the farm, Its condition, and that of the stock upon it; and that oho le fully capable of governing the house as such a house should be governed, is evinced- by the cleanliness, good order, and decorum 'of Me' intuatos— particulars in which this rtku. Muse, will compare not unfavorably, with many Looses occupied by large private' tunnies, wheroall are endowed with the ca pacity of self government.
