Maj. S. B. KING. Chairman. Is Negro Suffrage the Issue? This is a question which is asked of every man who is a supporter of GEN. GLARY. The opponents of the Union Party are en deavoring to distract attention from the great issues of the day by continually crying out negro suffrage. Now let us see what is necessary to contribute a political issue. A legal issue is a point reached in the plead ings of a apse at which a certain fact is affirmed on the one side and denied on the other, A political issue we take it, is a cer tain line of policy for the State or Nation which is advocated by one party and opposed by the other and which the election or, de feat of certain candidates will establish or prevent being established. GEN. GLARY is the candidate for Governor of Pennsyl vania and if his election or- the election of any other candidate supported by the Union Party will confer or aid to confer the right of suffrage on the Negroes of Pennsylvania then Negro suffrage is at issue. Now we deny squarely that the present election can have the slight - ea effect — on the question of suf frage here. , Tho Constitution of P, nnsyl vania confines the elective franchise to "white freemen" subject to the qualifications specified therein. There can be no exten sion of suffrage to the binok men without a change m Abe Constitution which shall in express terms give thorn that . right. The Conatitutien;was altered in 1864 by a vote of the people, in order to give soldiqrs a right to vote'and no proposition to amend it again can be submitted until after the lapse of five years groin that time. 'This is provided for in express, terms and it is also provided that any such Amendment proposed shall receive the sanction of a :.majority of the }embers. of two consecutive .TJegislatiires. Is it not an insult then to the intelligence of any citl 7 , Zen to assert that negro suffrage is an issue which can be affected by GEN. GEARY'S• election ? If the negroes ever vote in Penn sylvania it will be' When it majority of the white, vcot,()pf the ate allow' them to do so, by'e, ailpptio : of a constitutional. amendment., Of course, in older to got' over this um mistaitable refutation of their, continued falsehoOde, the Democracy must get up some, plausible, argument to give their ,assertions, the Color of respectability.

At the meeting 0 i 0?! ) Via-. * E . ,Clpb a week 'n'ice, ill President,,.*it. ) , Exiiiizi.4 ilivOied his iesiers?liith. i'; , inry . original legal argument to prove that the. Constitutional Amendments adoptedpy Congress and whichlinve beet; endorse by our Party in this County and throughout the State, gave to' negrOes in Pennsylvania the right of suffrage. The Volunteer of this week contains the same speech as an edito rial and as we always give our. friends a bear ing we will copy the material 'portion, The coolness with which Gen. GEARY as serted, in his speech at the Mansion House the other evening, that the question of negro suffrage was not in issue in the present con test, was decidedly refreshing. He either knew not, whereof he was speaking, or he wilfully attempted to mislead those ,who heard him. Let us see where the Republi can party of Cumberland county stand oh this question. At their recent county con vention thedtollowing resolution was unani mously adopted : "Resolved, That we heartily endorse the plan of reconstruction embodied in' the pro posed amendments to the Constitution re ready adowed ,by the majority of the Na tional Congress." Nuw the fist of these amendments to the Constitution "recently adopted by the ma jot of the National Congress" is in the following language: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdic tion thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside, and no ..date shalt make or enforce any law which stall abridge the privilege or immunities of citizens of the United States." By this amendment negroes are declared to he "citizens of the United States and of the State ihherein they reside." Now what is a "clizka".' He is legally defined to be persont native or naturalized, who has the prmilege of exercising the elective fran chise, or the gatzlifications which enable hint to vote for rUtep. " Any one who has a Webster's DiWonary can readily satisfy himself' of the eorreetnes. of Oita tiefloitton. Therefore, according to this amendment which has been subnotted to the Legisla tures of the sever a l States for tneir appro val, "all persons loom or naturalized in the United Stares, turd subject to the jurisdie ion thereof, shall have the privilege of exercising the elective franchise, a',tl be enabled to vote for rulers," flmth state and national. This is the amendment whip the .iepunlicon parry of Cumberland county, in °du% ention assembled, "heartily endorsed." —The man who stands before his fellow citrzens, with this eviff rice staring him in the face, and tells them that negro suffrage is not the issue in Cumberland county, must be either a knave or a fool. Why this very amendment, declaring that negroef& shall have ?the privilege of exercising the elec tive franchise, - is to be submitted to the ;text Legislature for rotificatmo or rejectiol. and the menmer to be elected from this county will vote directly upon the question whether negroes shall he declared to be citizens of Pennsylvanut, whether they shall be er titled to vote in Cumberland county, in Carlisle, at every poll in the Stare. In this very amendment to the Constitu tom, otter dechLying that, ue g rues ace '' cit izens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." they further declare that 4'220 State shall make or enforce any l a w which shall abridge the prie.leges or im)1111- nities of citizens if the United States." Cou sequently, the provision of our State con stitution which declares that only white freemen of the age of twenty one years" shall he entitled to vote,.will be declared null and void, because it con diets with this amend ment to the Constitution of the United States. And this amendment, denying fhe State of Pennsylvania the right to say that negroes shall 710( vote. is to be acted Upon by the next Legislature; uud as it fins been "heartily endorsed" by the Republican county Convention, their candidate for the Legislature, should be be fortunate enough to lie elected, will vote to ratify this amend ment awl thus fore(' negro sqff sr, ye upon the people of the State against - their wishes.' We have seldom seen as much pure absur dity, in tho shape of a legal argument erowd ed into so small a space. It might have oc curred to the gentleman who wrote the above that no man in Pennsylvania Notes by virtue of his being a citizen of the United States or of the State of Pennsylvania but because he conies up to the requirements of an elector as set forth in the State Constitution foremost among which is that of being a " white free )111111." But we arc told that Webster's Dictionary defines a citizen to be "a person, notice or naturalized who lies the privilege of exercising the elective franchise" ttnd there fore the amendment proposed should beretel "all persons burn or naturalized in the United States 1111 d subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall have the privilege of the elec tive franchise and shall be enabled to vote fur rulers State and National." It is a won der our critical friend did not elaborate the amendment a little further and define a few more words. A little of this exorcise w. uld have cured him of his absurdities. 'fake the word "persons" fir instance. Webster defines a person to be •• an individual hu nt-MI being-11 man, woman or child," there fore if the Constitut ional amendment is adopted " persons (that is every man, woman and child) born or naturalized in the United States, shall have the privilege of thti, elective franchise and be enabled to vote for rulers." 1)0 you believe that the Constitutional amendments if adopted will give every man woman and child, white and black in Pennsylvania, the right to vote? According to your standard a citizen is ono who isL entitled to vote ; the amendment says that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens thereof and citizens of each State ; by the same standard a person is a human being," a man woman or child ;" therefore from your au thority and your reasoning it is _ontemplated by the Republican Party to give to men women and children white and black the right to vote.' Now either have the con sistency to charge us with this or have de cency enough to acknowledge the falsity and absurdity of your entire argument. On examination of the Constitution of the United States, adopted in 1787 will be suffi cient to show our friend of the l'otantror that those who framed it did not use the word " citizens " in the sense of voters. In providing for the election of representatives in_Congresambieh are.the only lintional ficers voted for directly by the people the Constitution uses the word " electors " (not "citizens") and provides that these elec tors, " shall have the qualification requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature." This is the only clause in the Constitution providing for elections by the people and it expressly gives the qualification of votora over to State con trol and in doing so uses the word elector and not the word citizen. ' Section 2 Article 4 of the Constitution provides that " the citizens of each 'State shall be entitled to all the privileges ,and immunities of citizens in the sev6ral states.'' In Massachusetts, Now Yorlc and a number Of other states negroes were citizens and en titleA under the Steie laws, by express pre vision, to vote. Will' our legal friend in- forms us whether under this clause of the Constitution a. Massachusetts negre, awho voted •there, would be entitled to a vote in `Pennsylvania or Indiana by corning into either'pf thn States named, to reside., If. .the word a meangvoter, wonld , mit this provision, have given 9very, negro who was a voter in one . State the right to vote in any other., where, he, acquired dence. " If the.privileges and immunities . of.a citizen" included the' right to the eleo- Ove franehise,don't the Contitutien as it' stal'4,l, give any negro - who . 114, the right to vete , in any,Stato,t49 right, ,O,vote other State to which ho may renrays. ; On the section ahoy° . gneted Judge :07.4rtiNar : Tox:docided, thns ',Ti4E),la.c9nliric4.to.thcopo, privileges and immunities which are in their nature fundamental which bolobg of right to the citizens of all free government and which have at all times.been:enjoyed by_ the citizens of the seVeral.States'which h compose the Union from the time of• their becbming free independent and sovereign ;" and after enumerating : these fundtkinentat -rights 'he sltys "to Niliich ' , may be added the elective franchise as regulated and established by the tatv:i and Constitution of the State in which ii is to be exercised. But it is useless to follow this phantom of a legal argument any further. We will not insult the profession by supposing that any .member of it believes_that the term citizen as used in the Constitution or the proposed amendments means those having the privi lege of the elective franchise. The whole question of voting is settled by the States and there is twilling in the Constitutional amendments that can interfere with it direct ly or by implication. Negroes can never vote in Pennsylvania until a majority of the white people acting diceet/y on the question gives them that right. if every white man in the State wanted thein"to vote now they would have to defer any action on the mat ter until 1809. If GEN. GEARY is elected Governor it will not hasten the enfranchise ment of the black men in this State by a single hour; if IliEsrmi CLYMER is elected their chances for a participation in the Gov ernment will not be any worse than if he is defeated. Negro suffrage is not at issue in this State now and cannot be until a propo sition to amend,our State Constitution is be fore the people. In closing wo would sug gest to our neighbor, that calling those who assert the truth about this matter " knaves and fools," don't much help his argument or his reputation for common decency toward his opponents. We believe that lie is the only respectably informed man who has the assurance to assert that the Constitutional amendment gives negroes the right to vote or the temerity to attempt a legal argument to prove it—we won't apply his own epithets to him nevertheless. The Volunteer thus describes the meeting of the Johnson's County Convention. The attendance was nearly as large and quite as respectable as that at the late radi cal Republican County Convention. A mong the gentlemen who participated, and who have heretofore been regarded as lead era in the Republican' }tarty, were Capt. \\ - 111. M. Porter, litte editor of the Carlisle Herald (the Republican organ of Cumber land County) Geo. Zinn, Esq., late editor of the Carlisle American (Republican(, and postmaster by appointment of President Line, in. and R. M.. Stevenson, Esq., Con: sill at Sheffield, England, under President Lincoln. The defection •of such men as these, together with hosts of others who sympathize with them, hiss fallen like a thunderbolt into the little camp of radicals who seek to control the 'policy of their party in this County. They see too plainly where it leads and what it means. It leads to open rupture and division, and means disastrous and overwhelming defeat in October. If the information which we have be correct, the legislation of the Rump Congress and the platform on which John W. Geary stands are openly repudiated by fully one third of the Republican voters of Cumber land County. The assurance of the gentleman who penn ed-the !Wove is amazing. For weeks prior to this Mass Ceinvention of the Johnson Party the Democratic emissaries of the Pres ident worked untiringly to get up n demon stration. Every I'. M. in the County was particularly urged by Mr. ZINN to be pre ,ent. Every invention of the mind that the managers were capable of was brought into requisition to induce timid Republicans to hook on. The leaders here pretended that they had the names of/iffy Johnson men in South Middleton who would positively be here who was supposed to be influenced by other people's opinion. In the lower end of the County the story was circulated that Johnson men were numerous in Carlisle and i n superfluous abundance in the upper end. Above they were told that there were no "Radicals" in Carlisle or East of it. On the morning of the meeting the writer of this was told seriously 'by it highly respectable gentlemen in town who is just now the most active no-party, country-saving, patriotic, Johnson, Clymer, Philadelphia Convention, Democrat it, the State, that "there were twenty leading Republicans in town from the upper end to attend the Convention and that delegates were pouring in from all qharters." These were the dodges that were tried on to entice unwary Republicans to the meeting. What was the result ? To say „that the at tendance was large or that there was an at— tendance at all is squarely false. „ Mr, had to go in obedience to the behests of his Democratic masters or leave his Post Office. Mr. WnsoN; , of Mechanicsburg ditto, and he had to leave even after his compliance. CA PT. PORTER, was claimed as a Democrat in 18114 by those with whom he now asso ciates politically. \V bother lie was or was not we do not know but we do knciw , that the Derimeracy counted on his vote. Mr. STE VENSON, nerer voted the Republican tick et in his life. His appointment to Sheffield was made at the instance of his Uncle, who was then Consul at Leeds. These were the only gentlemen there who ever had the slightest taint of Republicanism about them. The remainder of the dozen who collected at Faber's that morning were Democrats and, (Mr 'HILLER, SZ Mr. CAMPBELL, excepted) of tl.,w sort who endorse every feature of op position made by their party to the Govern ment during the war. Not a man there rep resented any body but himself nor could the persuasion and entreaties of the whole party combined, have brought another Republican on the ground. Of the truth of all this our friends of, the fro/uOtqcreremost painfully_ aware. oii had a fair trial to get up a Johnson Party here gentlemen and yoUr success wasn't a brilliant one by any means; you won't succeed any better in your at tempt to make one on paper. A committee of the Rump was appointed to investigate the matter, Ivho made a re port last week convicting .

A simple statement of the facts` connected' with . this unfortunate trouble between those who lire entrusted with the inforests of the public schools of this - County is necessary in order that there may be a proper understanding of what we shall say with :regard to this matter.- convention of Directors 'Wits held' Itare last ' May to choose a County Superintendent. The candidates before the Convention were Mr. George Swartz, the than and_Mr. Hoffiefinger. In a close' vote,:Mr. Hoffiefinger was elected—his majority if wo remember, being less than five: . .A.fter: hiP election objections were macia.to the State Supekintendent against granting him acorn.. mission on the ground of incompetence. Superintendent Coburn then had Mr. Hale finger examined ,by a committee and not being satisfied with the result refused to commission him and gave the office to his competitor, Mr. Swartz. To protest against this action appears to have been the object of the meeting on Saturday. Under these circumstances we cannot but regard the action of the Convention of last Saturday, as unwise and uncalled for, and calculated to do very great ,injury to the common schools of the County. Any citizen of the County bad a right to object to Mr. Heillelinger on any ground ho chose and the objection being made the State Superinten dent was bound to investigate the case, If Mr. Heifiefinger was not competent to fill the office (and there is the authority of at least one gentleman who took part in the late Convention, for saying that be was grossly ignorant of sonic of the branches required) ho had no right to the commission although nine-tenths of the Directors had voted for him. When lie was rejected the State Superintendent could not appoint any one except Mr. Swartz, he having received the next highest number of votes. Now with all due respect to the Convention we must say that their talk about the State Superintendent having no right to nullify their election and that his attempt to do so looks like usurpation, is simply absurd. It is the right and the duty of the State Super intendent to set aside any election of an in competent or improper person and of the unfitness he is constituted the judge. The resolution that those Directors do not and will not recognize Mr. Swartz as Superin• tendont is simply factious and shows a spirit that don't very well become gentlemen who are entrusted with the management of our Schools. They have a right to express their opinion of Mr. Swartz, of the State Superi ntendent, or of any body else but they have no right to refuse the Superintendent of the County who holds appointments by the opera tion of the same law thatgives them their posi tion, the recognition and co-operation that the law requires. It is, noticeable feature of these proceedings that they are entirely anonymous ; no names being given as officers of the self constituted convention ; nor is fitly 0.. e willing to stand sponsor for the resolutions -which by no means reflect the sentiment of the school directors of this County. The whole affair has a clandestine appearance and looks very much as though the participants were ashamed of their work. We regret exceedingly that such a condition of things should exists, and especial ly in a matter so important to the community as our public school education. Gen." B McCandless, who fought during- tho curly pnrt of tho war h s become sadly demoralized, his speech in the Clymer Convention at Harrisburg he got off the following stale slan der : If you were as bravo as Julius Caesar and as able in strategy as the first Napoleon; unless you bowed to the black idol of Abo litionism no star would grace your shoulder." It is distressing to hear n brave man thus degrade himself to please men who are stu pid enough to believe such stuff. McCandless was commissioned n General but refused to accept because of the Abolition policy of Mr. Lincoln. Meade, liancock, Geary, Reynolds and Crawford, could receive stars from an Abolition Government without feeling dishonored, but to no such base uses could McCandless come. After having de served it by his bravery ho spurned the honors his Country offered tb win the ap plause of disloyal partizans—he now tramp les on the truth to make these fellows cheer him anew. We hope the " General" will live long enough to see how mean it is to be a demagogue. We are exceedingly glad to notice that our neighbor, the Shippensburg News, has at length given some evidence that it held some opinions on the political issues of the day. For a considerable time it was a ques tion with its readers whether the News was with our Party or with "my policy," but all that doubt is now happily ,dispelled, Two weeks sine() it shoWedits hand by denoun cing the Randall convention and last week in several well written articles it showed up modern Democracy, Hoister Clymer, Jeff.

SIR : Your "call" for a National Union Convention at Pkiladelphia for August 14th next has just been received. You say : "If the call meets my approbation, to signify it `by a brief letter, with authority to publish the same." I assisted in placing in nomi nation President Johnson at Baltimore, and I believe in the doctrine that "treason is a crime, and must be punished," but I do not like the mttnner of punishing traitors adopt ed by him •, and as 1 am an ardent admirer of the wisdom and statesmanship of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens and his coluborers, who have rendered themselves immortal in the Congress just closed, I cannot endorse the doctrines contained in the " call." Again, I am doing' all 1 can to aid in the election of General Geary, as Governor of Pannsyl vania, and believing, as I do, that ono of the Objects of the Philadelphia Convention is to aid in his defeat, I am decidedly opposed to it. I Arlie this, of churse, with the under standing that it involves my removal from office. I trust, however, you will have a good soldier appointed in my place. All other things being equal, the/ad/if/a soldiers should have the preference, and more than a year ago I wrote to the President proposing to resign in favor of any faithful soldier who would apply for my position. I would therefore most respectfully name for your consideration as my successor Lieutenant J. T. Zug, who lost an arm at Fredericksburg, or Captain J. Adair, or Captain E. Beatty —all of Carlisle, Pa., good and brave men, who served faithfully and deserve well of their country. Either one would make a good collector.

We have not at hand the name of the Post master in New Bloomfield, Perry County. but we are very much afraid he hasn't the fear of Moses before his eyes, nor has he a very tender regard for the pheelinks" of his post-official brethren and place loving neighbors. Wu are led to this opinion from the man ner in which the said New Bloomfield official treated the sweetly-suggestive mis sive of our own dear Zirrx. When the summons came—as it must sooner or later conic to each individual in the Government employ--this rash man of Perry instead of silently succumbing to the Zinn mandate, submitted his special order to the Chairman of the Union County Committee—and this is what that body did with it : The following communication having been received by the chairman of the Gouilly Committee, and laid before this convention, to wit. Carlisle, July 27th 1886. P. M., New Bloomfield, Perry Co. DEAR Sin :—A National Union County Convention will be held here to-morrow, for the purpose of appoint hag conferees to meet smiler conferees front York and Perri, whose duty it will be to select tapresentati re delegates to the National Eldon Convention at Phila delphia, on the 14th of August next. Please inform me what action your county proposes to take in the matter. The Democratic State Ex. Coto. have appointed 1 etag'ides for the district to represent that party. The Do .'gates, proposed to ho chosen and designed to represent the Republican element or Irlands of the President's policy. The convention upon mature deliberation and patient investigation, is unable to dis cover any two thousand dollar Post-Office in Perry County, nor are they apprised of any enlistments from said County into the bread and, butter brigade. Our CpWa are still giving milk notwithstanding the dry ness.of the season, and as we know of no candidates fur office in this County, outside of the Copperhead faction, and regarding close alliance with that reptile in the dog days, as more than ordinarily dangerous-- we deidine the associatiew of the rattle-snake and the Prairie wolf ii 'the same hole on the 14th of August at Philadelphi , i.

LEGITilstIltE• FRUITS OF Y Dispatelies;4from Now Orleans contain graphic accounts of ono of the Most terrible riots that over occurred at the South. The violent breaking up of a legal and loyal semblage of citizens, the assaulting and mur dering of leading Union men of the State, the ruthless shooting down of more than a hundred freedmen, accompanied with the most savage - barbarities, are facts calculated to impress the whole country with anxiety. in regard to the state of affairs at the South. Are these the first fruits of .that executive policy which maintains that all the late re bellious States are ripe for immediate return to the Union o including the complete mas tery of their local tifiliirs, the sway of Such authorities as the Mayor and the police of Now Orleans, and the Withdrawal of the United States forces ? But instead of mak- ing any comments at present, we prefer to give our readers a succinct and accurate ac count of the origin of these deplorable dis- tur bailees The account is taken from the New Or cans Tribune, the only loyal paper in Lou EU= The 80th of July, 1866, will be lung re membered in Louisiana and in the whole United States. The bloody events of that day will do much to enlighten the Northern people on the true feelings of "reconstruct ed ' rebels. ',We can only issue a small sheet to-day. But 'W..e have room, at least, to raise our voice in denunciation of the cold blooded massacres of :the day. The Memphis riots lyre thrown in the shade by the crimes which have been perpetrated in the Crescent City. The Constitutional Convention of 1864 met at 12 o'clock at the Mechanics' Insti tute, pursuant to the call. Judge it. llovrell called that body to order. Tho Rev. Iforton offered an appropriate prayer. Re stated that the convention was assem bled in accordance with law and justice ; he made a well-timed allusion to the assassi nation of Lincoln ; he asked the blessings of heaven on the President of the United States, and prayed that the mouth of the lion be kept close—a prayer which, unfortu nately, was not arts wer&d. The secretary called the roll, when tteenty fire members were ascertained to be present. Mr. King Cutler moved that thesergeant nt-arms be sent out to procure the atten dance of the members who were absent, and that the convention take a recess of one hour and a half. This motion was carried. A few moments afterwards a procession of colored men came on the spot, headed by a band of music, and were fired at from the crowd. However, they proceeded on their way, and entered the Institute. But heavy firing was soon heard in the street, in the direction of Canal street. The attendance fell back•into the hall; but in a short time the attack became general, and the police fired in all.directions. Every person coin ing out front the building was pursued and shot at. The houses of the neighborhood were hunted up for -negroes - and conven tioneers. Dr. Dostie, who is well known at the North, and is synonymous of loyalty, was shot like a dog, being without arms and making no resistance. Es-Governor Hahn was stabbed in the abdomen and shot through the head. For several hours the city was delivered into the hands of a "Memphis police.'' We cannot new ascer tain the number of the dead, but it must be very large, and among them, we believe, many members of the convention. At last, about 3.30 o'clock, the military came out in force—white and black soldiers. The city police was immediately ordered to return. We heard that a policeman shot as Federal officer. flad the local mallet ities wish to arrest the members of the conven tion, and the whole attend'a'nce, they could do so without firing a shot. No body would hare resisted an altempt purple under color of laM, and very few, if any, were armed. hundreds of colored men have been searched on the street, and found without arms. These disgraceful acts - , this blood of inno cent men spilt on ou- streets and in the very hall of a constitutional convention, show the kind of liberty we enjoy hi Lou isiana. These sad events will awake the country to the sentiments of danger. Have we returned to the freedom of speech we en joyed under the time of slavery'? The military lb: ces are now posted on Canal sreet and in various parts of the city. The freedom of the l re-s will not succumb yet; eve owe to the good will of General Baird a guard of colored troops to protect our office.

When it was attempted by armed hordes to estab lish a theory which would have produced anarchy: When our peaceful valley • was polluted by the armies of treason and its towns burned, then the duty was plain to every man who loved his Cou c utry, who respected its flag and revered the memories of those men who built this Republic in the hope that man might hero accomplish his highest mission and that its duration would be eternal..

HAMILTON OF TEXAS, ON PRESIDENT J oUNSON etc, etc. Special Correspondence Carlisle Herald Hart isburg, August Bth 181111. The great Democratic Soldiers' ,1 ohnson- Clymer convention, over which there has been so touch trumpeting all over the Com monwealth, has been held; the great 'noun tain has brought forth a very little mouse, and so -- the agony is over The Convention was a failure in every aspect. It was a fail ure in point of numbers, it was a failure in point of character and it was a total, abso lute failure in its moral effect. There was nothing about it to make it grand or even interesting to the gendral spectator. It Wlls dull, prosy, spiritless affair. • Our Copperhead friends told us there would be thousands upon thousands of sol diers hero from abroad who were not dele gates to the Convention ; and yet there were not fifteen hundred strangers in town and, outside of the Convention, there were not a baker's dozen4if sillier, present. I venture to a.sert that a strict analysis of the Con- . volition itself would present the following component facts : tell per cent genuine sol diers who have seen any considerable service, fully fifty per cent who have either 1) , ( . 11 drafted or served in the militia during ewer- oilemes, twenty per cent worn Out and 12.0- ken down politicians and twenty per cent almsent. And this is the head and front as It is doubtless the whole absolute military strength of the Johnson-Clymer party in Pennsylvania. Becker, the Burls County delegate who was so unceremoniously kicked out of the Pittsburg Convention, was hero in all his glory, flaying been made one of the totop•mrary officers, and the delegate who nominated him cliaracterid hint as the " lb•rks County Hessian in the Pittsburg '( Convention.'

Indeed the Convention was more - re markithl- for what it chil not do than for what it did do. It failed to repudiate that plank in the Chicago Convention which pronounced the war a failure when the I Union Armies all over rebellious -territory wtitk marching to victory after victory. It fimie•d to say one word against rebels in the South, who are murdering. Union men in cold blood under the atispiees of the Presi dent of the Nation, who promised to make trea-on •• odious. - but, happily, it did not fail to endorse both the Rebel murderers and th- biiilliess President,. It failed to speak a good word for (ten. Brant, or Con. Sherman, or Cell. Sheridan, but it did not I'ol t o en dorse General Mi.Clollan and Harrison's Landing. There was not a word of con demnation for the cruel assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but a bounteous supply of clandiloquenee for his very accidental successor. But the "soldiers' Convention," did soinci/iing, to be sure: It enders -d Wester Clymer, time very man who, when these soldiers are supposed to have been lighting for the existence of the Union, threw the whole weight of his voice and his influence in the seals ,against a government warring against treason. It was Mester Clymer that in 1861, occupying a seat in the State Senate when that body was locked in a tie of sic teen Republicans to sixteen Doinocrats, owing to the unavoidable absence of Senator Harr, White, a Union officer and a Republican Senator, in the Rebel prison at Salisbury—it Was Mester Clymer that then held the Senate in check and pro• longed the imprisonment or Harry White. "Comparisons are odious"—as President Johnson oneo wanted to make treason, but we had a glorious old Republican meeting here, in the evening after the Clymerites had adjourned. It was only 11110W11 a couple days ago that Ex-provisional Governor Hamilton, of Texas, would address the citizens of Harrisburg this evening. The Court !louse was crowded with Union mutt; and the buys in blue turned out strongly. A drum corps enlivened the meeting with music. Governor Hamilton spoke for about , two hours, to an enthusiastic audience. He spoke of the President in the most scathing manner. He did not hesitate to -pronounce the President's unjustifiable interference in behalf of Rebels in Now .. Orleirris who were murdering, Union mon in cold blood, as usurpation in its most dangerous form. He conceded the right of the President to superintend the military governance of Rebels, but be denied his s power to dictate who should be voter's and who should, not be, or to place the army of the United States at the disposal of an inferior officer of a Commenwealth. He arraigned tho Presi dent for the usurpation of powers that never belonged to him.
