The clunteer in a late issue wrote a scath
ing article on the " tricks of the Radical dis
unionists," which, in addition to the old
falsehoods we have so often exposed in these
columns further says : "Men have been
bought tvith the people's money to turn the.r
political coats." Will our neighbor who has
such an intense horror of lying, corruption,
bribery and all the other arts of dishonest
politicians please give us the details of the
arrangement by which Andrew Johnson ex
pects to carry Pennsylvania for CLYMER
this fall? Whose money is to pay for the
votes of Republicans in this county who are
counted eon na enrtnin for the Democracy 7
Please tell us, for you should know, how
much is the salary of the office which a cer
tain gentleman in Carlisle, is allowed to re
tain, "for the support of Andrew Johnson's
policy even if that should require him to sup
port Clymer," You remember whose words
are given in this quotation. Probably you
can also inform the people how much the
office is worth which you have offered to a
certain individual who has hitherto been the
most ultra Abolitionist in the County, on
condition that his vote and influence should
be subject to the control and dictation of the
friends of Clymer. It might also be inter
esting to know whether Andrew Johnson,
the Democratic leaders or the people pay the
salaries attached to these offices that are thus
openly and shamelessly sold for votes? Af
ter you have given this information you
might further whether atany trine since the
Republican party gained power any attempt
was made to distribute offices in considera
tion of votes. When CURTIN was a candi
date the second time, was all or any portion
of the patronage of this District or State of-
to desert their o~g:iiiiziiGon's' and vote for
Woodward ? if so please give us names and
specifications? We have no objection to
the Democratic party being as corrupt as it
pleases - without •corruption it would have
been buried long ago. It is now making its
last desperate struggle and having sold itself
to an Acci .ental Administration for the
purpose of getting a corruption fund suffi
cient to make a show of a fight, we can't es•-
pact it to be very conscientious in the use of
its accustomed weapons, but we beg leave to
suggest that at present writing it is a little
indecent in their leaders to speak of bribery
and corruption. Let your impudence,-gen
tlemen, take any shape but that.
Those who managed the Democratic Mass
Meeting in Reading last week were deter
mined that, their resolutions should partake
of the mongrel cln racter of the crowd that
had collected. Their sixth resolution thanks
the President for his Course and policy and
the eighth sympathi:es with the Fenian.,!
Was such effrontery ever paralcied ? The
President has played as false to the Irish
men who love the freedom of their native
land as he has the men who elected him to
office. He and Seward contrived to deliver
into the hands of the English many bravo
Irishmen who had fought for our country
whilst the British Government was furnNi
ing vessels, arms and money to the traitors.
The Democracy approve all this and yet
they sympathize with the Fenians. Con
sistent fellows, these are to bo sure. A few
weeks since Miles O'Reilly, hitherto a warm
supporter of Andy Johnson, declared that
the course of the Administration with re
gard to the Fenians would drive 600,000 Ir
ishmen out of tho Democratic Party,
throughout the Union. No wonder these
schemers are trying to fix things up. If
their blarney deceives any true -Irishman,
we are much mistaken.
During the time he was in the army, if
he was distinguished for nothing else, he
was for his tyranny and severity to the men
under him. It is the universal complaint
of those who served in GEAILY'S division
that he was in the habit of torturing his men
for the most tribial offenses. He appeared
to have no control over his churlish temper,
and wo have no doubt he often committed
brutalities upon his troops for which after
ward felt sorry.— Volunteer.
How do you know that it is the universal
complaint that of those, who served, in .
GRAY'S Division that he was in the habit of
torturing his mon for the most trival offences.
Are you in communication with them ? • If
so give' hs their statements of the facts in
detail ; it will make your case stronger.
Whilst yoU hrive . yourhand in you may as
well tell de why it was that the soldiers
whom Geary led , were the very first of the,
Western Army tore-enlist as veteran Volun
teers. His own regiment re-onlistedalmost
to a man' and his whole division displayed
an eagerness to Servo for another term of
three years, such as was nowhere else seen
in the Service. Do soldiers re-enlist under
a commander against whom tl,universally .
complain ? Or are you lying wheat the

The Con@entimi then adjourned sine die.
The trouble with Curtin is hoWever, that
he is worse '• broken down" politically than
he is physically, and however proper it
might be to make the United States Senate
a home for dilapidated office holders, it is
not possible in this case to make it a hospital
for the cure of political consumptives.
Volunteer.
Oh of course C. unTIN is most wonderfully
broken down politically. You would have
thought so had you seen the enthusiasm that
everywhere greeted his appearance in Phila
delphia on tho Fourth. As ano€her slight
evidence of his political bankruptcy wo beg
tion which was offered in the last Legislature
by a Democrat and received the unanimous
vote of both branches.
Resolved, That in the name of the Com
monwealth we tender to Governor Curtin
our thanks for the fidelity with which during
four years of war, by which our country
was ravaged, and its free institutions threat
ened, he stood by the National Government,
and cast into the scale of loyalty and the
Union the honor, the wealth and the
strength of the State.
Resolved, That by his devotion to his
country from the dark hour in which he
pledged to the late lamented President of
the United States the faith and steadfast sup
port of our people, he has gained for his
name an historical place and character, and
while rendering himself deserving of the na
tion's gratitude, lias added lustre to the fame
and glory to the name of the Commonwealth
over which he has presided for two terms of
office with so much ability, and in which he
has tempered dignity with kindness, and
won the high respect and confidence of the
people.
We wonder how much the three Ex-Gol
cruel's who au•e sent as delegates at large to
the JOHNSON Convention in Philadelphia
would give for the sumo breaking down po
litically tl - kat Gov. Curtin has been doing.
THE RIGHTS OP CITIZENSHIP.
lion. JOHN A. LOGAN, in a speech deliv
ered at Salem, Illinois, on the 4th of July,
in advocating the constitutional amend
ment, stated that the section conferring the
rights of citizenship upon freedmen did nut
confer the right of suffrage, but only pro
tection of great natural rights, being equi
valent. to a declaration that "you have no
right to go out and murder; you have no
right to take his property: you have no right
to. talc() his work without paying him his
wages; you have no right to abuse that
man or trifle with his rights and privileges."
Ile explained, why he, a Douglas Democrat
of 1860, advocated this pr ,vision in tue fol
lowing emphatic and eloquent language:
Sir, when you ask me how I became such
a great advOctite of universal citizenship, I
can answer, the question. , I have had my
prejudices, just as other men in this _lend,
but is hen 1 marched with the columns . of
loyal men On southern soil, and saw the
flag of treason defiantly flaunted in our
laces; when I looked around me and asked
for f, lends, I appealed to the white zu,ii in
vain; lie was the trieud of the traitor, the
sympathizer with rebellion; he 'owed allegi
ance, he'thought,lo treason, and not to the
Government ;of the United States.. But at
the deep, dark hour of.night, the pour col
ored man, bowed dorm by the, chains, of ,
•slavery, 'would crawl through the Marshes,
through' thickets, wade the rivers and Odle
into ear picketlines, into our camps, and
toll you where the rebel forces lay, und,how
you might attack treason and destroy . it.
[Cheers.] That Is the reason why I cared

, Attorney General Speed resigned on

tially, the same reason given by Gov. Den
nison, namely: That he belongs to the
Union party : that ho endorses the constitu

Philadelphia Convention, and that ho will
not participate in the attempt to destroy the
Union party. His letter to Senator Doolittle
is a scorching rebuke of the President. Hero
it is: •
LETTER OF SECRETARY SPEED
WAsunforox, July 16, 1866.—T0 Hon.
J. R. Doolittle, Chairman, &c., SIR: I have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
note of the 10th inst., with a printed copy
of a call for a national Union Convention,
to be hold at Philadelphia on the 14th day
of August next. You request, in case the
call, and the principles enunciated In it,
meet my approval, that I reply at my earli
est convenience. This language would seem
to imply that no answer is desired if I do
not approve the call and the principles wow
ed in it; in other words, that a failure to
reply may bo interpreted as a disapproval
not only of the call, but of each and all the
Ft inciplee announced in it.
This is a position in which I am unwilling
to be placed, when I approve of many of
the principles set forth in the call, and I
yet do not approve of the call itself. I will
briefly state my reasons ; first premising that
do not recognize the very respectable gen
tlemen who have made this call as the ac
knowledged organs of the great Union
party of the country.
Since the outbreak of the terrific struggle
from wh.ch the country has now emerged,
wo have had a National Union party that
has exhibited more devotion , made greater
sacrifices, and manifested more unselfish
patriotism than any party ever did previ
ously in the history of the world. That
party is still in being, with its organization
intact, and its organs known ; and as that
party, by its faith, its doctrines, and its exer
tions, has in the face of the prophecies of
half the New and all the Old World, saved
the Government and the republican institu
tions of our common country from demora
lization, and indeed from utter ruin, by vin
dicating at all hazards the primordial theory
of the eternal, indissoluble union of the
States, through which only can a particle of
the theory of Staterights over be maintained
and enrried out i it would appear to me to bo
still the only or at any rate 00 MOM. offoakt
al means, as far as a party can do it, of
finally adjusting all the remaining minor
and unsettled matters of reconstruction con
sistently with the requirements of the theory
mentioned.
This party is the samo to-day as it was in
the days of its trial ; the same party now as
when, but a few short months ago, it elect
ed Lincoln and Johnson, and the majority
of the present Congress; and-a,sj acted with
it then, for ptiramount reasons, my sense of
duty demands that I remain and act with it
now.
The pith and marrow of the present call,
1 should say, tends toward a convention to
form a party for sustaining, not the Govern
ment in its entirety (as has been the mission
of the Union party,) but a department of the
Government. And hero I must take the
liberty of adding that 1 can badly conceive
of any Odder spectacle, under the crises of
present Circumstances, than that of the tried
Union party in , this country becoming dis
located and broken up by divisions, or that
of ono branch of the Government of the
country taking an isolated position upon
questions of deep and common interest, and
placing itself in hostile conflict with co
ordinate departments.
For these and otl,or ,night
a cannot join in the call for
the Convention in Philadelphia.
I have said that many of the principles
stated in the call are, in my view, unobjec
tionable. I will not stop to criticise those
which are objectionable, but content my
self with stating that the call fails to take
any notice of one of the great issues now
before the American people I allude to the
question whether the several States shall
ratify or reject the last amendment prolosed
by Congress to the Constitution of the
United States. This is a grave and al.-im
portant question. The issue upon it cannot
be avoided. It should bo placed fairly and
squarely before the people. The failura to
take ground upon so important and all-ab
sorbing a question must be attributed other
to a desire to avoid the issue, or as a decla
ration of belief and policy against the adop
tion of the amendment. Being myself
earnestly and docidoly in favor of the adop
tion of the amendment by the States, I
cannot go into an organization that would
either openly oppose that measure or that
would smother it by avoiding its discussion.
I must also add, that no man is more de
kirous'than I am to attain the entire restore
pm of the American Univm with its
' 6 practical workings in more perfect harmony
and accord than ever, and the surety, as far
as mortal affairs can e made sure, of endless
perpetutity in the future. The blessings to
flow from such a Union are countless and
jAestimable. But such a Union, consistent
with itself, maintained by the universal con
sent of all classes and sections, and laughing
to scorn both the assaults of foes internal or
external,' and the ravages of time and
change, will only bo obtained by sternly
retracting every departure from, or com
promise with, the supreme and general idea
of the American fundamental law, the Con
stitution. That general idea consists, in
brief, of the political liberty and equality
of mankind under the law. Such, and such
only, can be the Union, the nationality,
thht will put in form the magnificent and
lefty dreams of the American continental
mind, and fulfil iu .the future the 'highest
efforts of the present and the past. It is not
the vague delusion that the rights of the
States need doctoring. The American theory
culminates properly in the sacredness of the
rights of,individuals— of each single indi
vidual. That, after all, is what Washington
carved out with the sword, and Jefferson,
filtering it through his subtile and free mind,
drew up and pia on record with the pen.
It is well known that in the political- and
legal history of the United States, the only
departures or compromises of the kind al
luded to have boon those in the interest of
slavery, and oflti manifold incidents. I
do riot, of course, propose to go odor the
thousand-times-told tale of the past sixty
years. To-day, slavery'. as a confessed le
gality, is, as wo all know, no, more. But
some of the mast importaWf its incidents
or comproinises still, remam—blot4 and in
congruities upon.tlMlaw. What equitable'
reason can be given why thespjucidents also
shduld not tie erased? Time was that when

blackguardism of the White House we can
make some allowance for the Governor of

Private Miles O'Reilly on Clymer.
Tho Now York Citizen, an independent
paper, edited by Col.. Chas. G. Halpine,
bettor known as "private Miles O'Reilly,"
in an article on Pennsylvania politics, says:
"Major General Geary, the Republican
nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania, is
a candidate we should hate to have to vote
against. His Democratic opponent is said
to have been rather copperheady through
out the war ; and' if so, we trust every sol
dier and loyal Democrat will east his ballot
for Geary."
" Private Miles," who was himself a good
fighting soldier, goes on to say that " Gon.
Geary did good service everywhere and in
all capacities—signally distinguishing him
self on tho Pennsylvania battle field of
Gettysburg, which formed, perhaps, the de
cisive turning point of the war." As an
Irishman he counsels Irish Democratic Sol
diers to " cut," Clymer who " is cursed with
copperheady antecedents." He thinks "the
democracy could not be taught a more valu
able lesson that would bo conveyed in
Clymer running heavily behind the balance
of his ticket.,' We suppose this lesson
would be, not to insult soldiers by running
copperheads.
We commend this manly, straight forward
utterance of their old fighting comrade, to
the democratic soldiers of this country. Let
them think over the matter calmly and
dispassionately', and' they will fool that it is
not right that a soldier should vote for
Mester Clymer, a man who voted against
arming the State at the beginning, and
thanking the soldiers at thif end of the war.

BASE BALL—AMATEUR VS ENTER
PSMR.—On Thursday, of last week, accord
ing to announcement, a match game of Vase
ball was played on the grounds of the
Amateur Club of our town, between that
Club and the Enterprise, of Baltimore, in
which the latter were tho challenging
party.
Six innings wore played—nine constitut
ing a full game—when the Baltimore party
withdrew from the contest, claiming a draw
against the protest of the Amateur, who in
sisted upon completing the game.
We herewith print the score as it stood
at the close of the six innings.

Scorers—Enterprise, A. 11. Ilarritton; Amateur, E. C.
Time of Came—Four boors and thirty minutes.
It will be noticed that at the close of the'
third innings our people led their Baltimore
comptitors more than two to ono, and from
that point the former fell . l'oil rapidly, mak
ing but one run in three innings. This, we
think eat; be accounted for by the fact that
Mr. Binatmw ER, the pitcher, was suffering
severely from a disabled shoulder at the
commencement of the game and by the time
the close of the third innings had been
reached, his injury beemno so painful that
at lait one half of his force was gone. Mr.
t.. Lions, too lost muell of his usual ef
ficiency as catcher, from a dislocated finger.
Another grunt advantage which inured
gt catly to the benefit, of the Enterprise was
that their club contained some six or seven
practiced pitchers and catchers who re
lieved those regularly assigned to those
po-
Sitions SOllla three or four times during the
contest.
rho playing proved, clearly , wo think,
that in everything but fielding our nine is
much superior to the Baltimoreans, the bat
ting of the Amateurs being the most
brilliant we have ever witnessed. Mr.
Bierbower's pitching (which is ono of the
strongest points of the game) in swiftness
and precision was superior to Mr. liinsley's;
and when we say that Milligan's catching
was as good as Goldsmith's, wo think we
have paid him no slight compliment.
It, was in the fielding that the Balti
morns showed their superiority, and
taught our nine to respect their prowess.
Their basemen rarely passed a ball and
it was always fielded -to them with
amazing swiftness. On the whole the
game was most gallantly contested by them,
struggling as they did during the latter half
of the contest against an almost hopeless
score. Their courteous and gentlemanly
behaviour during their stay impressed their
opponents and our citizens generally most
favorably.
The interest manifested by our citizens
in this trial of strength and skill in a manly
and elevating game was fully attested by
the largo crowd of ladies and gentlemen
present to witness it.. We cannot too
highly commend the efforts of the young
gentlemen composing our club to establish
in our midit an association which has for its
object the permanent establishment of a
field sport eminently calculated to furnish
the best amusement and recreation and is at
the same thno free from all evil„or vicious
influences. The Amateurs number among
their honorary and contributing members
many of our first citizens, who are proud to
sustain by their countenances and contribu
tions any enterprise for the elevation and im
provement of society.
RICH LETTER.—W o picked up on the
street the following interesting letter from
Mr. CUFFIE BROWN to rton. Wm. D. KEL
LY. Wo print it because it contains some
funny local allusions, and because it con
tains in unique, but expressive phraseology
a pretty fair statement of the political situa-
Oen:
Carlisle, July 19, 1869
Mister William D. Kelly at Washington,
Sin jist thought I would write you a
few words and see if what, I say wont have
some effect on you. I would have sent them
to the " Age" to have them published, but
I thought maybeo I could save you. I
want to tell you that on yesterday a fellow
came hero and said his name was Geary, and
a groat menny persons wont to see him and
said ho We're going to be our next Governor
and that he was opposed to a man they
"My policy." I did'nt know who the
man named " My policy" was and I asked
one of my colored brothers who knowed
something and he told. me it was a nick,
name for the President of the United States
Mr. Moss JOUNSON, who we all love be
cause ho delivered us out of the house of
bondage—and we call him Moses because
lie did deliver us and because lie said ho was
our truo friend and would always be and
that other persons who said they were our
