A . ^ 2. lIRD PARTY
A few days ago Messrs. DOOLITTLE,
COWAN, DIXON, HENDRICKS, NESMITH,
and live others, issued a Call for a National.
Convention, to be held in Philadelbhia on'
the fourteenth of AugUst. and in which all
the States and Territories shall be represent
ed. Commenting upon this movement the .
New York World wisely remarks;
" If President JoHN . SoN or his friends had
any idea of organizing a new party, they
should have comMeneed at least eight months
earlier. Eight or ten months ago, the Pres
ident. stood well in the estimation of the Re
publican party, a majority of whom, at
that Lime, deprecated a separation from him.
Then, none of their papers had openly at
tucked him, a few had ceased to speak of him
with respect. But every day that hhs elaps
ed since the naectin of Congress has weak . -
.ened his hold upon the affections of the
party which has now settled into hopeless
estrangement and alienation."
This is the plain truth. The President
has lost his opportunity. When the project
of starting a third party was conceived,
some months ago, bold and decided conduct,
on the' part ofjeaders, familiar with the
springs of action in the masses of people
and adroit in the manipulation of affairs,
would have made the movement formidable.
No such leaders appeared, and a re-action
has been established among the people.
Whoever now repudiates the' Republican
organization canfind association andi:Cipose,
.enly by going over to the Democrats:
A Traitor . Silenced
Idersehell V. Johnson was recently_talking
very blatant treason, in the presence of sur, -
dry gentlemen. One of them:filially inter-.
rapted him and told him he could not talk
so in Washington. Mr. Johnson said that
ho had been pardoned by the President, and
he knew of no power which couldqprevent
him from expressing his sentiments. The
gentleman replied that ,he did know of a
power which could prevent him, namely:
the present:li and strength of a loyal man who
wouldw,t tolerate the utterance or, treason'
in his presence . . Shortly afterward Mr.
Johnson privately inquired the Immo of the
person who had se abruptly silenced him,
and was told it was Maj Gen. . Jno, W.
CoL: JOHN W. FORNEIC, in a . speech de
livered at Lebanon, on Thursday evening of
last week, formally announced 4,mself a
candidate for United States Senator from
Pennsylvania in place of Edgar Cowan,
whose term will L
,expire March 4, 1867. CO
Forney takes a strong position in support of
the action of Congress for reconstruction:.
'He thinks that all the candidates for the
, i)Senaorship should define their positions,
. . and come before the.people squarely, with
out trusting for Success to political intrigue.

Geary and Clymer Compared
In his eloquentand Powerfully argumena
tative speech lately made at Lebanon, Col.
John W. Forney thus graphically described
and compared" the opposing candidates for
Governor of Pennsylvania. • It would be
. ,
well if every man in the State could rend
and ponder this comparison : '
, t No higher tribute.bould have been paid
to Gen. Geary than in the .sclection of his
competitor: The Democratic convention,
keenly sensible of approaching ,defeat, set
aside their worthiest for their weakest man..
Unable to induce a soldier to carry their
flag, and unwilling - to consign their; most
distinguished citizen to the' humiliation of
an overwhelming defeat, they placed a gen
tleman upon their ticket w lose single claim
rests upon the fact that h i certain to ceirse
cure the largest majority or Gen. Geary'.
Our candidate could not expect, under any
circunistanCes, to receive the suffrages of the.
men who 'prayed for the defeat of himself
and his galhuit squardrons, and as it would
have been cruel to deprive these citizens of
an opportunity to vote,' Mr. Clymer was
kindly and mercifully put forward.
" There is; however, a peculiar value in

The Reboxilidiriget Yet Dead. .
The political campaign ,in Missouri is .
being conducted with groat spirit. 'The
main qu'estion at issue is, whether the State
ishall.romain'in the-bands of loyal peoPle or
lie turned .over to .'rebels. Some of.;:the
ablest men' of tho country are now talking:
in; tll State on the bide orthelOyalists and
their speeches ate powerful and convincing:"
On s tile 18th Hon. Chas. D. Drake, of Mo:,
spoke 'at:Hillsboro, and in-the course of his
remarks said:
My .friends„the the rebellion is not dead yet
.Thengh ,didarmedj.!and't'dbiorganiz6d for
waridt is armed and organized for civil con
flict, and to that the rebels are now turning
with' unslaked appetite for power. And in
this they aro formidable; not because they
have the numerical Strength to 'control thiS'
great 'country, but • because,.. consolidated
by, a community in ,interosOrt principles,
and in crime, and by.a common and. con 7
sliming 'hatred of the' conquering North,
they are ready for any alliance with North
din traitors, Copperheads, Democrats; ,or
any other disloyalists,, which ,will held. out.
a prospect of restoring the'reins of govern

Mont to their blood stained hands. If any
man believe that the rebellious.'and traitor
ous spirit 01861 does not exist in 1866,; he
is wretchedly Wooled. • it wouldthis day,
break out again in open war, with double
fury, if 'Weed were 'a decent grckind to hope
for success. •You • may travel .the South
from one end to the other, and .go from one
end of tho border States to the other, and
I 'defy you to find One man, whose
,heart
was really with the rebellion, Who is not
thfs hour as•vonemdus a rebel; at heart, 'as
ho ever was. You can find plenty of such,
who say they . "aecept ,tlieresult! , that, is,
and bdarit;" but no one that shows
the least eoninuncticin for What he has 'done,
or th&faintestpurpose to. htone, by future
fidelity: to .his conntry, .for, his horrible crime
,agnipst its Constitution, its , Government,
anti tts poo r lo. The -rrholp ao n t them
are bound together by ties which will not
be sundered- till 'this .generation;'-lind _per-.
haps . the next,.. shall have passed away:
Whenever :they are allowed to vote, they
vote together in solid mass, and always, for
rebels. 'No man who littS been loyal gets a
vote from them, unless be expiated the of-_
fense, of loyalty to his country, by an open
unconditional, and slavish loyalty, in polit
ical contests, to them, such 'as Francis P.
illair is now exhibiting in this State. The
worse the rebel, the more acceptable to
them. But the other day, the pirate Sem
mes,!, yet unpatdoned by our magnanimous
President, was elected Judge of Probate in
Mobile; but the military commander, there,
'by order of the President, prohibited his
assuming the, office until h'e . should be par
doned! This is one of thousand of instances.
They prove that rebels ate still a power in
the land—a power that, always restive, reek
less, and ready for mischief, is more danger
ous this day to the integrity and welfare of
the Nation, than ever the rebel armies were.
And they, are a power which' uprincipled
politiCal vagabonds are making haste to
court, and Esau-like sell their birthright of
honor, patriotism, and prinCiple for a mess
of treasury-pap pottage, cooked. for thorn by
the slayers 'of their brothers, and served up
with hands still reeking with the blood' of
the Nation's heroic sacrifice for freedom.

with a large and appreciative audience.
There were at least three hundred voices,
which sang in sweet concord and perfect
time and when raised in an anthem .almost
equalled. in sublimity the "chorus of the'
"Messiah" or the oratorios of .tho "great
masters." Prof. 11, deserves every possible

BABE BALL.—On Friday last a third
game of ball took place betlieen the, Cumb
erland Valle of Mechanicsburg and the
Amateur of our town, u9on th.egropds .of
the former.
It commenced at . 8.30 A. M. and ended at
12.45 A. M. the full pine' of nine innings
having been played; the Amateurs winning
by a handsome majority of runs.
Unless tholuture efforts of the Cumber
land Valley. shall "clip the wings" of our
townsmen, we fear our friends below will
have to grant them, the championship of the
County.
The non-success of the Comb. Val., is
doubtless once more to be attributed to the
fact of the absence of our editorial brother,
Carmany of the Journal. Early in the
game Mrl Ker, their pitcher, Became disabled
by striking his hand against the ground
with such force as to elOvitte a few of his
finger nails 'to the perpendicular.
Mr. Maglaughlin of the Amateur, met
with quite an unfortunate accident while
Tanning the bases, by
. which his' foot was
severely strained, tearing some of the liga
ments, and bursting a few blOad vessels,.
After . the game, a handsome. Entertain
ment was tendered Amateur by their
opponents to which ample justice was done;
the appetites of the party having been sharp
ly provoked by their strenuous .exertions
during the morning.. •
. .The subjoined score exhibits the playing
of both sides.

It is quite complimentary to the Professor
to know that his election was made by ,the
Board of Trustees, with entire, and some-
What unusual, unanimity ;' and especially,
in view of the success which 'has attended
his labors in that Department, to which he
has Alevoted,himself temporarily for the last
few Months.. l
Wounderstand that Mr. B. accepts the
position, and 'will, no doubt be a valuable
acquisition to the faculty of the College.
