The Canadian Question.
lion. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State:
SIR : In the multiplicity of the affairs
which demand yow attention, have you
taken notice of the fact that a great conspir
acy has been organized to deprive the people
of the British North American Provinces of
their liberties, and reduce them to mere sub
jects of despotic power ? We may answer
for you that you have taken no notice of this
fact. Let us explain to you the character of
the great conspiracy, With the hope that you
will disseminate the information we give a
mong the people of this country, and with
the further and better hope that you will act
upon it in your official capacity.
Of late years, what is co.nmonly known
as the Liberal party in British America has
gained ninny important advantages over the
Conservatives or Monarchical party, and in
the two Canadas the Liberal party may be
said to control public feeling and public o
pinion. As its name indicates this party
favors progress and tends toward republi
canism, and finally toward the annexation
of British America to the United States. It
would not be surprising to learn from au
thentic sources that this party looked with
something more than complacency upon the
Fenian invasion, and thatits member favored
the success of those " evir disposed persons"
who invaded the Sacred soil of our friend
and ally, Victoria Regina. It would not
surprise us to learn from perfectly authentic
sources that the idea of freedom from Brit
ish rule had become a passion with the leaders
of the Liberal party to that extent that they
had corrupted the Canadian volunteers, who
were made ready to take sides with the Fen
ians ul,Oll the first intitnation of their suc
cessful occupation of a position on the north
bank of the St. Lawrence.
Of one thing Wo nro absolutely certain
the Liberal party of the two Canadas is
favorably disposed toward the scheme of an
nexotion to tho United States. It has not
directly made the avowal, it is true, but its
whole course tends to that ultimate conclu
sion. In Lower Canada the French inhab-
ants, who are in a majority, hate the Eng-
ish as a conquered people hate the conqueror,
s your new friends, the Southern rebels,
ate the Yankee: but these Frenchmen, un-
like the Southerners, love republicanism,
and if necessary they will fight to preserve
such rights as conquest has left to them.—
They were bargained away a long time ago
by the monarchs of Europe when the ac
counts of a long and bloody war were being
settled, and they have only recently awake,
ed to a consciousness of the fact that—their
ights and their claims were not considered
n fixing the basis of adjustment.
The so-called Conservatives of Canada,
finding, abundant cause for alarm in the
rapid growth of the Liberal party, have hit
upon a plan to forestall their action and, to
defeat their purpose. Aided by the Tories
and Conservatives of Great Britain, the
Conservatives of British North America
propose to force upon the people a system of
confederation, by which all the Provinces
shall be united under one head, that head
appointed by and deriving all its authority
from the British Crown, wielding a vast
power, almost entirely independent of the
will of the people. The electors of the prov
ince of New Brunswick have already been
persuaded, or bribed, into voting for this
scheme, and the Confederationists hope to
triumph during the present yCar in all- the
Provinces.
According to the plan proposed, a repre
sentative of royalty, a viceroy, endowed with
all the more important prerogatives of an
hereditary monarch, is to bu the head of the
Government, the powers which, lie is not
permitted to exercise being reserved to the
Crown of Groat Britain. This viceroy is to
have the appointment of the members of the
Senate or higher legislative body; the mom
hers of the lower chamber only being elected
by the people of the Provinces.
I t is also proposed that the Central Par-
liment, or legislative body, under whatever
designation it may be known, may exercise
a veto power upon the acts of the local or
Provincial Legislatures, thus virtually an
nuling the local legislative bodies, which
derive their powers immediately from the
people, What more perfect machine than
this fw the purpose of imposing a despotic
government upon a groat people could pos
sibly be invented ?
As long ago as 1840, Lord Durham, in an
elaborate report, advocated the legislative
union of the two Ganadss, with a view, fi
nally, to general confederation under an
English Prince, and the establishment of
British ideas and the British system in
America. This report of Lord Durham,
which nearly caused revolution at the time
of its issue, is the authority appealed to by
the ConfederationisA t ,who are mostly Mon
archists, of the prefiiiiit Urge. • ' •
ERN]
The Confederationists are the open and
avowed enemies of republicanism and of,the
United States, Ind it is in part to counteract
the effects of our example, to strike a death
blow to the cause of annexation, and to es
tablish a strong central government, essen
tially monarchical, that they.are now labor
ing with brilliant hopes of early success.
It is to tho interest of the United States
that the seller& of the Clenfederationista
should bo defeated. Their success would bo
vastly more damaging to us than would be
the Anal establishment of the Mexican
empire, as our associations with Canadai
both commercial and social, aro more inti
impqrtant, and it is the manifest
duty of the 'United ,States to remonstrate,
before it is too , late, against the whol6
schema of confederation and viceroyalty.
The attention: of:Oongress has been called
to this matter, and , reoentlya bill, was in-

northern baikleta.' party faVoii
eonfeder r ation in o' Provincei
'can prototype the'mixed Party otTorios
and Conservatives, which did all in its
power to break down the'Coveiiiineht of the
United States by aidin4 the Southern rebeld
during the war, and which ht ui jest succeed
ed in defeating reform and the Liberal Min
istry in England. It is the party of ' reac
tion—the anti-democratic party—the party
which would transfer the ideas and institu
tions of the seventeenth century to the lat
ter half of the nineteenth.
The party of Bright, of Gladstone, and
of Russell oven, which has lost power by
favoring reform in England, would take no
offence should the United States Govern
ment declare itself the champion of free
government in Canada; and this party is
composed of the great body of the English
people, who aro themselves struggling for
liberty from that thraldom which comes
from the traditions of a darker time—the
same traditions furnishing the foundations
of that great Tory and Conservative party
which still, in the face of all reason and
common sense, controls the policy of the
British empire.
Should we regard with indifference and
in silence the encroachments of despotic
power in Canada, we shall be held respon
sible, in part at least, for the evil results
which must inevitably follow its establish
ment. We may be sure that Lower Canada
at least will not submit to confederation
without a struggle, the people of , that pro
vince will fall back upon their natural right
of revolution rather than surrender their
liberties into the hands of a prince ror a
viceroy. They have but little love for Eng
land, but they do love liberty, and they would
sail upon us to maintain them in the pos
session of their liberties. Should such an
appeal he made, it will be difficult to con
vince our people that out of regard to the
vested rights of England, and our declared
friendship of that power, we must remain
idle and silent while witnessing the welding
of the chains.
Only a few words more upon this subject.
We have a vital interest in the pi esorvation
of the popular governments of the British
Provinces ; our whole policy is and has been
to oppose the establishment of monarchy
in North America. An attempt is being
made to establsh a monarchy, very thinly
veiled, on our northern border; it is not for
our especial interest, and for the interest of
republicanism everywhere, that we should
earnestly remonstrate against this attempt,
and, if necessary, go to far as to say, it shall
not be ;successful. Should we take this
course, more than four-fifths of the people
of England would say amen, while the
people of Canada well regard us as their
saviors.
, The Liberals of Canada are Republican ,
thousands of them will tight rather than
submit to confederation. Being Republican;
the United States furnish them with model,
and example, and argument ; and many of
them, perhaps a majority, would to-day
gladly see the St. Lawrence changed to the
Mississippi of the North, with nointaginary
boundry line running through the centre of
its channel, but bearing upon its bosom the
commerce of a United people, with a com
mon future and common destinies.
The people of this country sorrow over the
downfall of the Liberal, Russell Gladstone
Ministry in England; they would have
vastly deeper cause for sorrow should our
Secretary of State, from any motive, fail to
check the advance of the reactionary and
monarchical party in the British North
America Provinces. War is a great evil.
Civil war is one of the greatest of evils, and
it is almost positively certain that the at
tempt to forceconfederation upon the British
provincials will cause civil war. When the
Fenians next invaded Canada, and they un
doubtedly will make a second invasion, all
proclamations to the contrary notwithstand
ing, if the attempt is being' made to force
confederation upon the People of the two
Canadas, their rallying cry will be "Cana
dian independence and the freedom of
Ireland ;" and at Chi.s cry tens of thousands
of " volunteers," now relied upon by the
authorities, will rally to the standard of the
invader, and help to sink British power in a
sea of blood.
Mr. Secretary, this Canadian question is
surely worthy of your attention. Its settle
ment is of vast importance to the people of
this country, and they will soon demand
that its discussion shall result in something
more than " assurances of distinguished con
sideration." The Republicans of the United
States—those who act in accordance with
your own teachings—sympathize deeply
with the Republicans of Canada, and hear
tily wish them success ; and I may say fur-
tiler, that in the event of an attempt at rev-'
olution in Canada for liberty, proclamations
will be of no avail to prevent many thou
sands of our citizens fronvcrossing the ber
,dOr arid' ranging - thomsbliCti nniler 'the '1.64'
olutionary banner. Aris'may have Canada'
by peaceful Means if 'we are wise in time ;
but if we permit our frionde in the Provinces'
to be crushed by the / S,dVodates of mon
archy, Alvin only be at the end of a long
and bloody War that a union can be effected.
Act in time, opPoso the whole 'scherne of
confe6ration, insist that the Canadian peo
ple shall be left in the dnjoyment of`all the:

ttfend of Itqlupidithham.
Mr: , olyrendeelared that " if Woodward
land Vallaticligham were elected Governors
of Pennsyfvfinia and• Ohio, they, with .Sey'
!mour of Now, and Parker of
Jersey, would unito•in calling from the army
the troops Of their , respectivo States, fdr the
purpose of compelling the' Administration
to invite a convention of the States to adjust
our di iliculties."
This startling declaration was made on
the 24th'of August, 1868, in a'public'speech
delivered before the people of Somerset, in
this State, and is authenticated not: only by
unimpeachable witnesses, but afterwards, by
a feeble attempt at explanation or extenua:
tion, by Mr. Clymer himself.
The atrocity of such a sentiment from a
Senator of the State will be best understood
when it is recollected that this treasonable
declaration was made by him only a few
weeks after the soil of the State had been
overrun and devastated by the rebels hordes
under Leo; and while the field of Gettys
burg. was still red with the blood of that
terrible battle, the victorious result of which
alone saved the State and its capital, and
prevented the terms of an inglorious peace
from being dictated to the North, by
Southern army, in the city of Philadelphia.
General Geary, although wounded at
Chancellorsvillo, marched to the rescue with
his division ; and with Crawford and Han
cock, Reynolds and Meade—those gallant
Pennsylvanians—took a conspicuous part i:.
the splendid achievements of three eventful
days of that great battle. Mester Clymer,
the State Senator, with no sympathy for his
Government, and no word of onlceuragement
for the soldiers who were fighting'ita.battles,
openly proclaimed a purpose, which, if it
had been carried out, would have been
virtual surrender to the defeated; but still
arrogant South.
We proceed to give the authority for this
statment:
On the 3d of February, 1864, Mr. Clymer
was charged on the floor of the Senate with
having made such a speech at Somerset.
After a week attempt at evading the charge,
he proceeded , to state what he did say on
that occasion. And let every candid reader
say whether Mr. Clymer's own'Version, con
sidering the time and circumstances un
der which it was given, was not worse in
spirit and utterance than the original tree
,
conable declaration at Somerset. But to the
record. Mr. Clymer, in reply to the charge
referred to, made the following remarks, viz :
"Now, sir, for The benefit of those who
desire to hear it, 1 will state what 1 did say
on the occasion referred to. It is alleged
that I made use of the language in a speech
delivered at Somerset, in the county of
Somerset in this State. The only remark I
made then which could bo tortured into such
a malicious misstatement as appeared In the
newspapers was this, that if Judge Wood
ward was elected Governor of Pennsylvania,
and Vallandigham Governor of Ohio, they,
in conjuctiOn with thOso two great patriots,
Seymour of New York, and Parker of Now
Jersey, would compel this Goverment to come
back to the resolt?tion of July, 1861, and
prosecute this war for the purposes set forth
in that resolution. I say now, and believe
that it was the greatest calamity that has yet
befallen this country that those two men were
not elected ; for I believe now, and ever shall
believe, that the departure from the purposes
and objects of that resolution has deluged
this land in blood, - wasted our substance,
and made us a mournful spectacle amongst
the pation of the earth."—Sec Legislative
Record, 1864, page 149.
We are permitted to give the authcrity
of the editor of the Somerset Herald and
IVitig, and of the Hon. Wm. H. Koontz,
the member of Congress elect from that dis
trict, end of other gentlemen who were
present, for the strict accuracy of the lan
guage attributed to Mr. Clymer, in his Som
erset speech. His own verson is even worse ;
for, not content with saying that Vallandig
ham and 'his colleagues wnald,' if successful
have compelled the Government to pursue
their policy, Mr. Clymer, in the face of the
Leislaturo, proclaimed our country, then
victorious atevory point, ‘, a mournful spe
ladle amongst the nations of the earth."
What Vallandighrun and Woodward would
have done, if successful, they did not hesi
tate to avow. Every one familiar with the
history of 1862-3, knoWs if the four great
central States had passed under the control
of such disloyal Governors, it was the in
tention of northern sympathizers to compel
the General Government into submission to
their plans by a recall of the State troops
from .our armies in the field. The same
party, whose leaders, only a short time be
fore, had waited on Lord Lyons, the British
minister, ,and, besought foreign intervention
against their own Government, and whose
presses, and orators, and . political ,cenyen 7

I was . a coquette. Many a lover's' heart I
had lacerated by refusing his offer of mar
riage, after I had lured him on to a declara
tion. My last victim's name was James
Frazer. He was a tall, awkward, homely,
ungainly man, but his heart was true as
steel. I respected him highly, and felt pained
when I witnessed his anguish at my rejec
tion of him, But the fact was, I had myself
fallen in love with Captain Elliot, who had
been unremitting in his devotion to me.
Mr. James Frazer warned mo against
Elliot ; but I r charged him with jealousy,
and took his warning as an insult.
A few days afterwards Elliot and I were
engaged, and my dream of romantic love
seemed to be in a fair way of realization. I
had a week of happiness. Many have not
so much in a lifetime. 'Many awake from
the bright short dream to find themselves in
life-long darkness, and bondage from which
there is no escape. Thank • God, I was no
be so miserable as they
My mother was a widow in good circum
stances, but having very bad health. She
was also of an easy, listless, credulous na
ture--hating trouble, and willing to take
things just as they happen to present them
selves. She therefore made no inquiries a
bout Captain Elliot—but fondly believed
that inasmuch as ho was a Captain he must
necessarily be a man of honor also, especial
ly as he had served in the Crimea and India
and won medals. His regiment was quar
tered in our neighborhood, and he had the
reputation of being one of the wealthiest, as
he was certainly the handsomest officer in
I remember well the day we became en
gaged. He was on duty, but had managed
to ride over to our house in his uniform,
and while welvere walking in the garden
he made the tender avowal. I referred him
to "mamma ;" he hastened to her—return
ed in three minutes, and led me into her
presence to receive the assurance that the
maternal consent had been readily and free-
y given. - I
Itly dear mother hated trouble, and she ,
moreover loved me tenderly ; so that she
was well pleased to find a husband present
ing
himself in a form and manner apparent
ly so eligible for her beloved and only (laugh- i
ter. ,
Well, n week passed quite delightfully as I
have said ; and at the expiration of this there '
might have been seen an equestrian party
winding through our old Devonshire woods
and quiet country roads. Elliot and I led
the cavalcade: I rode my own beautiful
brown Bess. Captain Elliot was mounted
on a handsome black horse that had been
sent him from London. Following us was
a bevy of merry girls and their cavaliers ;
and among them was tall awkward and si
lent James Frazer. His presence had marr
ed all the pleasure of my ride, and I was
glad to be in advance of them all that I
might not see him.
And , n+ ‘‘,. r..-10 ~n throuali the woods,
and I listened, well pleased, to the low but
animated words of the gallant Elliot, who
wished himself a knight and me a faire layde
of the olden time that he might go forth to
do battle and compel all men to recognize
the claims of his peerless love. Very elo
quently he spoke of the inspiration of love,
of the bravo deeds and perilous exploits it
had promoted ; wishing again and again
that lie might proclaim and maintain his
love before the world. It pleased me to
listen to this and to believe it sinero, though
I surely had no wish to put my lover to
such a test. ..
A. shot suddenly rung through the woods
and n wounded bird, darting past, fluttered
and fell at the feet of brown Bess. With a
bound and a spring that nearly anseated me,
she was off.
Struggling to regain my seat, I had no
power to cheek her, and even as she flew,
the fear and madness of the moment grew
upon her, I could only cling breathlessly
to the mane and bridle, and wonder help
lessly where this mad gallop was to trend.
She swerved from a passing wagon, 'mill,
turned into a path that led to the river. InX
the sudden moment the reins had ben torn
from my hand's and I could not regain them.
I clung to the mane and closed my eyes,
that, I might not beludd the fate that await
ed me. How sweet was life in those pre
cious moments that I thought my last !
How all its joys, its affections, its last crown
ing love rose up before ins 1 I thought of
the pang that would rend Elliot's heart As
ho saw me lying, mangled and dead ; and
then the thought would come if he were pur
suing and trying to save me, even, as he
had said, at the risk of life and limb.
I remember no more. I felt a sudden
shock, a fearful rushing through the air, nod
knew no ,more until days afterwards, 1 woke

MY PLAIN LOVER
I heard ere this of Elliot's cowardly 'con
duct on that day; but now I first be thought
me to inquire who had twinned me from that
imminent death. And then I learned that
James Frazer, his arm already broken by the
jerk with which Brown Bess torn away from
him as ho caught at her bridle had ridden
after me, and been the first to lift me from
the water. Many time" daily ho made in
quiries concerning me; his had been the
hand that had Sent the rare flowers that had
decked my room ; his were the lips that
breathed words of comfort and hope to my
poor mother; his were the books that I
road during the days of convalescence ; and
his, now, the arm that supported me, as
slowly and painfully I paced the garden
walks.
I have been his wife for many a year. I
have forgotten that he is not handsome—or
rather he is beautiful to me, because I sea
his grand and loving spirit shining through
his plain features and animating his awk
ward figure. I have long einco laid aside,
as utterly untenable, my theory that beau
tiful spirits dwell only in lovely bodies. It
may be a providential compensation that, in
denying physical perfection, the soul is not
dwarfed or marred by petty vanity or love
of the world's pi wise.
High Life in Saratoga
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
thus writes of mon and things at the great
Watering Place. The colors aro not very
attractive to sober-minded people.
"Besides the regular races that aro to
come off this season, a new club has been
formed that brings to the Springs the sport
ing men of the land. Those already here
race their steeds every day. About twenty-
live race-horses from the South, West and
North, have arrived, and more are to come.
James Clay, the son of Henry Clay, is in
town. Col. Ilufort, of Kentucky, has two'
racers of great speed, called the Delaware
and Onward. Capt. Moore, of the same
State, has four blooded horses. Mr, Watson,
of New York, has five blooded horses. Some
of these animals could not be bought for
$25,000. They are not allowed to be her
nesse& Indeed the real race horse is un
broken to the collar. The famed Lexingtoti
is here, and will compete for the prize o
$2OOO. But men in the secret say he will
be beaten this year by some steeds which in
the practice have made unusual time.
Each morning between three and four
o'clock the owners of the fast horses, with
their grooms, leave the stable fur the track.
A walk is first had foll a few miles. Then
the steeds trot, and after this 'exercise for
about half an hour, they are put to their
full speed in the race. These blood horses
room to know quite as much as their riders.
They smell the battle afar off, like Job's
war-horse, and round and round they go,
neck and neck, each competing steed doing
his utmost. From thirty to fifty of the
leading horsemen, horse breeders and horse
owners of this country, can be seen on the
course In MULL curly hour, baking purt in tho
excitement of the race, if not riding their
favorite steeds. This class of horses and
horsemen are multiplying in Saratoga.
Sporting will be great business of the Springs
by-and-by.
The multiplication of gaming-houses in
this place from season to season has been
marked, but never so much so as now. On
the main street many of the second floors
are taken by those who keep griming tables.
No pains are taken to keep the business se
cret. From the strepts, from the piazza of
the hotels, from dawn till dark, from 'gun-
down to sunrise. Sunday brings no repose
and no cessation—men taut be seen under
the fascination of the tables, losing or win
ing great Sums. Some well-to-do and well
reputed men from New YOrk daily play,
with a fixed rule only to lose a certain sum.
They play while they win. But when for
tune is against them, and their standard of
loss is reached, they quit the tables. These
men never drink when they play. But
with all this rivalry, Morrissey has been
able to hold his own.
He has now found his rival. A woman
from New York has taken a house on the
same street where his clubhouse is located.
It is elegantly fitted up. It has a bar of the
choicest wines and liquors. A hop is held
each night at which men are admitted on
the payment of $5. .Young women, quite
pretty and well dressed, parade the streets
and call at the hotels, and with handsomely
printed circulars call men into this new
palace of dissipation. The circular holds
out the price of the -hops, the music,, the
winos and refresh klients as does a bill of fare
in a restaurant. The lady of the mansion
keeps a four-in- hand team. The outfit is
splendid. Tho, horses are stately and aristo-'
j untie. A driVer holds the reir_s dressed in
livery. Two lackeys sit behind in white
coats of immense breadth, and buttons as
big as half-dollars, and otherwise dressed in
the most aristocratic style. Alone, in the
open carriage, the owner sits in all her
glory, and is driven. up and down, in and
Out of town, and of course is the centre of
general observation. The thing has made

In
I the University of Upside, in Sweden,
lived a young student, a noble youth, with
great love for studies, but Without means for
Pursuing them. Ho was poor, and without,
connections, . Still he studied, lived in great
, poverty, but 'keeping a ehooribt heart; and
trying- to to $k at the future, Which leOked so

.
like 'a graoeful fyisgm, one of them , soddenly
exclaimed
" Well, it wotild bo latorth 'eomething to
have a kiss from such a mouth."
The poor stud4t, 00h* of our story,
who looked on that.,:piire,tingelic face, ex
claimed, as
" Well, I think I'COuld,.4Ye.it.?'
" Well," cried his friends in a chorus,
t, are ydu crazY T. Do , you ?"
he answered ;"bui..lthink

NO, 34.
"What! in this place—and beforenll our
oyes ?"
, I y e , , I,
" Freely ?"
" Yes, freely."
" Well, if she will give you a kiss in that
manner, I will give you a thousand dollars?"
exclaimed one'of the party. • -
" And . I," "and I," exclaimed three or
four others, for it happened that several rich
men Were in the group, and the bets ran
high on so improbable am-event. The chal
lenge was made and received in less• time
than we take to tell it.
Our hero (my authority tells not whether
ho was plain or handsome; I have my pe
culiar reasons for believing that he was
rather plain, but singularly guod-looking at
the same time,) immediately walked up to
the young lady and said :
" Mine fraulein, my fortune is now in
your bands."
She looked at him in astonishment, but
arrested her steps. Ho proceeded to state
his name and condition, his aspiration, and'
related simply what had just passed between
him and his comrades,
The young lady listened attentively, and
at his ceasing to speak, she said, bluShingly,
but with great sweetness :
" If by so little a thing, so much good can
be effected, it would be foolish for me to re-
fuse your request ;" and publicly, in the open
square, she kissed him.
The next day the student was sent for by
he Governor. He wanted to see the man
who dared to seek a kiss from his daughter
n that way, and whom she consentei to
kiss.
lie received him with n scrutinizing bow,
but after an hour's conversation was so
pleased with him that he ordered him to
dine at the table during his studies at Up
sala.
Our young friend pursued his studies in
such a manner that it soon made him re
garded as the most promising student in the
University.
Three years were now passed since the
first kiss, when the young man was allowed
to give a second kiss to the daughter of the
Governor as his wife.
He became, later, one of the most noted
scholars in Sweden, and was much respected
for his character. His works will endure
"while time lasts, among the works of sci
ence ; and from th;s happy union sprang a
family, well known in Sweden at the pres
ent time whose'weal,h and igh position in
society are regarded as trifles in comparison
with its goodnesa; and love.
We give below extracts from Gov.
CurtiM., speech at the aoldier's Picnic, last
week, at York as they are published approv
ingly in the North American. The Hiester
Clymer Party that has been of late claiming
Gov. Cumrtn and the North American as
oeing with them had better pass this around.
In the course of his remarks Gov.
Curtin said:
Conga ess has prsented to us-ffir.oor action
certain amendments to the National Con
stitution. During Lincoln's administration
we had the amendments excluding forever
the black stain of slavery, and thank God
for that! (Cheers.) It was a curse and a
blight on the nation, now happily removed,
and why should we not sanction the new
amendments ? Are not the provisions fair?
If' it be the filoatioro of the people in the
south to adopt universal suffrage they can
have it. But we want an equitable basis of
representation north and south. (Cheers.)
Democrats talk so much about negro suf
frage, negroes voting for white men, &c.,
and they are endeavoring to manufacture
capital out of the negro again in Pennsyl
vania. In our State the Constitution can
only be amended, as you all know, once in
live years. We have had one amendment
but recently; it will be time, therefore, to
agitate this question when this gentlemen
here (Gen. Geary) runs a second tune. How
they are agonized about it I Teey are in
great distress because wo are everywhere
going to allow the negroes to vote. (Cheers.)
I say if the south wants him to vote then
come on with your wool. There is no pos
sible objection to it. (Cheers.) These con
stitutional amendments provide that the
government of the United States shall , main-
Lain its faith to all its creditors for the pub
lic debt incurred during the war, and that
not one cent of the rebel debt shall be paid.
(Cheers.) Put that side by side with the
nigger cry. They provide that no man who
held office, civil- or military, in the rebel
service, shall take part 01 the government
of the United States. But they put in a
clause by which the southern States may
come in—those mon who took part in this
rebellion, whose hands are red with the
blood of loyal men—God forbid that such
men should be allowed to take part in the
government. Wo must take men us they
are Let men read and reflect, then, how
Pennsylvania could find it in her loyal heart
to object to the amendments proposed by
Congress to the Constitution of the United
Stides. The people of Pennsylvania will
reserve their action for a gallant charge on
the second Tuesday in October. (Cheers.)
That is the day on which we express our
sentiments timidly and without reserve. No
oppression, no. dictation, no change, can
take way this American mode of expressing
