SHIREMANSTOWN, Aug. 20
Editor HERALD :—The Democrats here
have posted flaming show bills adver ising
a muss meeting to be held at Leisisburg
York Co ,
I am somewhat surprised to see my name
used as one of the committee. I never
belonged to that party— and never expect
to— the use of my name is altogether un
authorized and may mislead some of my
Republican friends. There was a time
when to be a Democrat v.as esteemed rath
er honorable, bl since the party has de
pared from its ft th and has joined itself to
the Rebels, it becomes loyal :_ea t beware.
I have t o desire to fanner the claims of
Clymer. Hal am for Gen Geary, first last
and all the time. fleaav S. HECK.
Good for Mechanicsburg
At the monster Geary Mass meeting held
in Reading yesterday, this county was rep
resented by the Mechaniesburg Boys in
Blue" five hundred strong. What chance
has Clymer in Alechatnicsburg 7 The picture
presentation dodge seems to have been a
poor speculation.
The Republicans of Berks held a tremen
dous meeting at Reading, the home of
MESTER. CLYMER., on the 6th inst. Those
who know WESTER best, aro those who have
the least confidence in him politically and
therefore the Republicans are stronger and
more active in Borks than they over were
hdfore, and they confidently expect to reduce
the usual Democratic majority more than
1000. Clymer is just the man to whip
easily and the Berks County men know
it. One of the resolutions of the meeting
deserves especial notice. Here it is.
That no man, in our opinion, can fill or
supply the conceded and acknowledged po
sition of the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens us
leader'of the lidllBo of Representatives; and
therefore, esiocially in view of his advanced
age, and the probability of his not surviv
ing the extended Sentilorial term, we hope
that he willcontinue in the path of his il
lustrious predecessor; John Quincy Adams,
to the end' of his useful' and valuable life,
in the position he now so "ably' and ntotd.*

The Volunteer still asserts that net suf
frage is the issuo at the coming election and
thus proves it.
Mr. CUFF. ItnowN was not far, wrong
when he remarked that there wore many
things in the Herald, intended to be Tunny,
which he couldn't see in that light. Ile
might have said the same of the Herald's
logic and its law. They are good ,of the
kind, but of a very poor kind: • -
The Herald thinks that Webiter's defini
tion of the term "citizen," which can be
found in substance in all the elementary
works of the law, is the greatest Amount of
pure absurdity" it ever saw "crowded
into such a. small space." The shades of
Webster, Blackstone and Kent would no
doubt. be terribly annoyed if they knew
what poor opinion the legal gentleman . .For
the Herald has of their Constitutiomil law.
It was their law we gave; not our own ;and
untA the new legal light of the Herald
pro4eds to overthrow the definitions which
have stood the test of ages, it will continuo
to be good law, and needs no vindication
from us
The Volunteer will be kind enough to re
member that it took the ground in its first
article that the proposed amendments to the
Constitution _would if adopted confer the
elective franchise on negroes in spits of the
clause in our State Constitutitin which dis
franchises them. To prove this it gave a
definition from Webster's Dictionary mak
ing " citizens" " those who had a right to
vote." We answered it by showing that
the same authority would make the amend
ment confer the right of suffrage on every
woman and child in the State, and then we
asked our neighbor either to insist that the
amendment would have this effect or to
abandon his position altogether. We fur
ther showed that the word citizen as used
in the Constitution did not mean those who
had the right to vote for rulers, but that in
speaking of those the term'electors and not
citizens, was used. We also showed that if
by the word citizen was meant a voter then
those negroes who voted in any State would
have the right to vote in any of the other
States. And lastly; in order that we might
have authority as well as argument we gave
the decision of JUDGE WASHINGTON that
the " privileges and immunities of citizens"
were "confined" to those that were funda
mental in their nature and included the.
elective franchise only sublect to the laws
qf the State in which it is eMinied to be exer
cised. Whether not or our argument was
convincing to the community we cannot
determine, but this much is very evident;
it has drive, our neighbor from his position
and throughout his entire article last week
he dares not suite his first position again or
even insinuate that he was right in it. ln
order to bring this discussion to a iinint at
once we propound these queries which our
friend can answer at his leisure. Do you
belime seriously, as a lawyer and state it as
your 1(.2-AI opinion, that the proposed
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States would if adopted and in force
now, give neg-rom; the right to vote in
Pennsylvania or in any other State whose
Constitution did not c nfer the right of
suffrage upon" them? Can negroes vote in
l'enn,:ylvania until the clause in the Con
stitution which disfranchises is repealed?
Can any amendment or alteration he made
in our State Constitution without first
having been passed by a majority of two
consecutive Legislatures and then ratified
by a majority of the people ? Can any
rimendment of our State Constitution be
submiltel to the I.eople prior to 1860? Is
a question which cannot be voted upon
before WOO in say sense of the word at
issue in 1866? And now having answered
all these quesitons in the negative is not the
roan who asserts that negro suffrage is at
issue in the coming election a—what was it
you called Gen. Geary?
And now a word personally. The Volun
teer as welcome to whatever little delight it
experiences from having got off the stereo
typed sarcasm we quoted above. We halve
no doubt ,that the wit is original and it is
certainly not of that kind which is ever in
danger of being stolen or b. rrowed. The
disregarded for truth also bears the unmis
takable marks of its ownership. We did
not say that Webster's' definition of citizen
was an absurdity but we did characterize
the perversion of the authority us absurd—
and if We had another chance we would say
it was disgracefully villianous. There was
a time when it was excusable in the Vidunte,r
to plaice before its readers such sophistrii s
but that day has passed. There is enough
of legal knowledge now in the concern to
know fully that the whole of its pretended
argument to prove negro suffrage at issue
here was a mere fallacy. The gentleman
who wrote the article knew as well as any
one that his position was untenable but he
supposed it would a serviceable card for
local spouters and club man gers. This sort
OA' deception is inexcusable. That TuAunfins
fi'rEY Ess, Foltmcv and KELLEY believed
that negroes should vote is true and it is fair
to make any capital out of that fact that
can be done. But to assert that the platform
of the party now is negro suffrage and to try
to fix up something that remotely resembles
a legal argument to prove that a question
is now at issue that caffnot be reached for
three years, is unworthy of any one who
claims to be honest or truthful in his utter-

A Brace of Postmasters on the Sit
uation
Although the Philadelphia gathering of
Rebels, Copperheads and Bread and Butter
Republicans, has come and gone, some of
the incidents which . preceded it aro worthy
of preservation. Hero are two letters from
Postmasters who were summoned by
Messrs. Randall Si CO.
The first is from Mr. Parmontor, Editor
of the Gazette, at Lima, Ohio. .It is brief,
decidedly so ; and very much to the point.
•• The Postmaster, being also the editor of
the Gazette, desires-. to say, that at this par
ticular time, he belives he will not go down
into the dirt with Vallandigham, and the
Copperhead.fraternity to Philadelphia. In
fact " he won't take any of .it in his.".. It•
Andy Johnson, Bill Seward or Ales. W.
Raadvill, are inclined that way, its their priv
ilege, and they can have his share of the
Philadelphia Convention •to divide among
them."

and t.P Union !
The greatest political demonstration ever
held in our County!
Last Saturday will be long remembered
118 ra day•of rejOicing.itnd:ead feeling among
the.. Union , men .of ~Cumberland county.
From all .quarterra l of..this
,copnty t and from
York, Adams iiiid"Dattphin, the men who
stood by the Union and never doubted its
triumph, even when rebel hordes marched
triumphantly through our borders, assem
bled in Mechanicsburg to greet their stan
dard bearer and open formally the campaign
in this portion of the State. It was truly an
occasion long to be remembered. There
were present th men who had led the old
whip party in its , s of strength ; those
who had left the De ocracy when it sold
itself to the interests of slavery to perpetuate
its power and also those who had held on to
its organization until the disloyalty of its
leaders drove them from its ranks. Gallant
men who had fought for the country from
the time of the defeat at Bull Run to the
collapse of the rebellion were there, eager to
aid in the less dangerous but just.,s import
ant political struggle which' will &Win' ine
whether or not rebels shall finally conquer
the nation. All were hopeful; nay certain
of success, and their confident expressions
and glad countenances struck terror 'to those
who hope to turn the victories of our sol
diers to the benefit of rebels.
We will not attempt to describe the pro
cession as.,-4 , 4 e only arrived in time to
join with it and proceed to the woods and
had no chance to see the whole of it from
any point. We give the following detailed
description from the Philadelphia Press,
which barely does justice to the magnificent
tueeting
On Wednesday, July 25th, the Guberna
torial campaign in Cumberland county-, the
home 4,1 our gallant standard-bearer, was
opened by the Democracy, in what they
were pleased to term a "Democratic, her
vest-home and mates meetir g!" The county
having been largely Democratic, and the
roost zealous efforts of the "faithful" being
put forth to make a success of it, the good
people of Mechanicsburg, of both parties,
were not surprised to see it the largest af
fair of tho kind ever held there. The Cum
berland-county Copperheads loudly claim a
considerable number of the "Boys in Blue,"
but on the day of the meeting they were ex
ceedingly scarce. The very great majority
of the gallant defenders of the Union resid
ing in the town and vicinity most earnestly
sympathize and hear ily co-operate with the
Upton Republican party, and utterly repu
diate and scorn their shallow Democratic
flatteries to gain the votes, of which they
sought to deprive them whilst fighting o . pen
treason in the field.
After this demonstration, the "Boys in
Blue," who "vote as they fight," determined
to get up a meeting which should us far sur
pass the Democratic one as the Union sol
diers surpass in numbers those who are act
ing in sympathy with the Democracy. Sat
urday, August 18th, %VMS the time fixed up
on ; and the result has proved that their ef
forts -in the inure peaceful scenes of a polit
ical campaign—to preserve the Union for
which they fought, are no less efficient and
successful than their efforts on the bloody
and exciting field of yrnage.
Securing the co : operation of the ladies of
the town (who are "for the Union"—to a
man), and their friends in the-immediate ad
joining townships, they determined to give
all who should attend the meeting such a re
ception us should ric,t be surpassed in cordial
ity by that ever extended tat a public meet
±lll.:s though Heaven continued to smile up
on the efforts which Providence had regard
ed so favorably during the war, the morn
ing dawned gloriously beautiful. The trains
arrivtng in the early part of the day brought
large delegations from various points in the
Cumberland Valley, front Harrisburg, York,
told Dauphin turd York counties. The
train front Harrisburg bringing these latter
delegations—among whom were hundreds
of the brave 'Boys in Blue"—contained a
bout twenty cars, which were filled to over
flowing, the very ro3fs of the cars swarming
with enthusiastic men. With these delega
tions cantos a number of fine brass bands and
the magnificent drum corps of Harrisburg.
While the trains were pouring their streams
of animated life into the town, every other
avenue leading into it was literally crowded,
so that by noon the number of strangers
could not have been less than ten thousand.
Major General Geary canoe front his home
in New Cumberland, about eight miles dis
tant, on horseback, escorted by a largo body
of horsemen. About 12 o'clock the proces
sion formed under the chief marshalship of
(Jul. D. H. Kimmel, a gallant soldier, who
fought through the whole war, and was with
General Geary, under Gen. Sherman—as
commander of the ittli Pennsylvania Caval
ry—in his glorious "march to the sea."
There were not less than four thousand per
sons in the procession, while tho sidewalks,
doors, and windows along the. route were
crowded with spectators, who were no less
enthusiastic than the persons in the proces
sion. Gen. Geary and Gov. curtin were
most vociferously cheered at diTerent points.
The procession was one of the most attrac
tive of the kind ever gotten up. Ono of the
features was a large wagon from Now Cum
berland, drawn by rix horses, gaily, deco
rated with bells and flags, containing thirty
six beautiful yeung ladies, dressed in white,
rapt esentiug the different States, with one
representing the Goddess of Liberty bear
ing aloft the stars and stripes, while an arch
was sprung the length of the wagon, around
which was wound the glorious emblem oY
our nationality. The different delegations
bore banners—many of them ornamented
„with "strange devices," though all were ap
propriate. Among the most prominent Wo
noticed the following: The Pilechanitsburg
Club bud '•Tho Boys-in-Blue_lttb of Me

"Our Old Flag! We have fought iliacr it,

tions bore one with "Mother Cumberland

in the county is from four to five hundred,
and the result of the election will show that
the pledge has been most gloriously re
deemed. Others: !Tree Homes, Free imher
and Protection to American Indutitry,"'

was equal to that found at the majority of,

The place where .the •meeting was held
embraced two groves, in one of which the
vehicles were placed, and in the other the
groaning tables, over. a thousand. feet in
length, were set. No have never soon,a lo

than eight thousand persons en: the growl ,
moat of whom partook of the dinner. T e
order was most exemplaryj and the closest
attention was given to the earnest and patri
otic words uttered by the speakers. After
they had addressed the audience, Gen. Geary
and 90v. Curtin circulated through the
crowd, 'who gathered about them in throngs,
anxious to receive a shake of the hand from
them. The town was beautifully decorated
withiarge flags and banners, A Largo white
star, about ton feet in diameter, was sus
pended across the main street, between the
Journal printing and post offices, bearing
the inscription, " The White Star Division
Its Gallant Commander—Victory and
Union." -,-,
After the meeting organized GEN• GEARY
was loudly called for and responded in
short but eloquent address which was re
ceived
,with the most unbounded applause.
After hiin Gov. Curtin, Gen. Fisher, Hon,
John W. Forney and Hon. Thos. E. Coch
rane, all spoke eloquently discuss
ing the great question at issue and exciting
the greatest enthusiasm in the- , iminenso
throng of people who listened to them with
the most eager attention. We have not
room for oveh a notice of the addresses this
week but will try to print them in full here
after. Aftor the addresses were concluded
the great throng of people dispersed all de
lighted with the day's entertainment and
confident of the success of their cause. So
ended the greatest and most enthusiastic
political meeting ever held in our county.
Ono of the most gratifying of the sights on
last Saturday was the appearance of a large
delegation from Penn Township. The Gea
ry Club of that place came to Carlisle to take
the train and after arriving formed a pro
cession with James G. Weakley, Jameson
Ewing and William B. Duncan fighting
privates in the Union army during the war,
as umrshalls, and marched from Earley's
Hotel to the depot. The procession num
bered considerably over ono hundred men
nearly all of whom wore soldiers who are
bound to vote on the side they fought. At
the depot they were met and cheered by the
Geary Club of Carlisle who felt proud to
greet their active friends from Penn
will be remembered that Penn Township
has been largely Democratic but our boys
declare they'll change all that this time. If
work can accomplish a change there we may
expect good news from that quarter.
At Mechanicsburg on Saturday the crowd
cheered the distinguished gentlemen who
were present most vociferously, GEN.
GEARY'S appearance produced the wildest
enthusiasm. Gov. Cuavix was gteeted by
his fellow citizens with a welcome such as
few rulers of a State ever receive and if
COL. FORNEY was not convinced that his
Mends, in this County were numbered by
the thousands ho must be the most skeptical
public man we have ever met. Every ono
present desired to demonstrate to these
gentlemen how entirely their devotion to
the principles of the groat Union Party
and their efforts in its behalf wore appreci
ated. With all this however there was
one for whom all inquired and whose ab
sence all regretted. We need hardly say
that this was THADDEUS STEVENS. Had ho
boon there he would have received a greet
ting more hearty than that of all the others
combined. Through all the vast concourse
of people the inquiry was " Is not Thaddeus
Stevens hero ?" Thousands were there who
desired to see the grand old man who has
made so glorious a fight. against the treach
erous ruler of the Republic and to show how
much they venerate him. Among those
whom the people honor to-day none hold so
great a share of their confidence and love
as the brave old leader of the House,
ENCOURAUING I —Edmund Cooper, Rep
resentative elect from Tennessee, who _had
been acting for some time as the President's
private secretary, was received into the
House July 25. His first recorded legisla
tive act was in opposition to, the bill for re
storing to loyal owners property confiscated
by rebel governments. Two days afterwards
ho appears, with only-two others, voting for
the increase of his own salary (to date from
March 4, 1855, while during part of this
time he had been in came in the White
House), from $3,000 to $5,000. It is evident
that no influence on the right side has beon
gained by his admission.
COL. W. H. H. DAVIS, who is the editor
of a leading Democratic Newspaper in this
State ; who, we believe, was' a candidate for
Auditor General last fall against GEN. 141L
TRANFT, and who-more recently was adele
gate to the Johnson Convention In Phila
delphia, is of course a warm adherent of the
President. Of late he allows no opportunity
to pass to defend• the character; patriotism
and ability of Mr. Johnson. That he is
most eminently fitted to bo the champion of
the Mosel, of tho present Democracy we
haven't any doubt. Col. Davis' intimate
knowledge of the President is proved by the
following extract from his paper of the 14th
of March 1865, Which' ho doubtless road at

of Mr. Johnscin's friends.

The 'Volunteer's version of the official
murder of the Union men of Now Orleans,
deserves a place in history. This most mur
:derous and„.inexmisable of a4...the acts of
,
rebels is smoothed' down ;
, ' "Vi'rriced up to, fronzio &madness' by' those ineendiarY
;speeches, the negroos paraded the streets, with banners
;and torches.', ,CitizonS were JeorQ d and'insulted; one or
two were knocked down, and th police , attempted to
'airrst the asbailants, whOn the rilvoes resisted and,a
general riot &mod, which extended through" various
ports of the city and finally reached the hall where the
bogus Convention was sitting; resulting as we 'have
said, in groat loss of life and a reign of terror through
out the city. This is a plain, unvarnished statement of
the causes of the riot, as we have gathered them from
.11,0pubil?Ti sources,c
'We wMfld I S l Uggeit hertbafter all such
statements bo varnished in the most careful
manner so that the falsehoods be not quite
.so apparent. As an. offset, to otory we
will give the statement of the correspondent
of tho N. ' Y. Times who was on the ground
and saw the affair. The Times itCWill be re
membered is a, Johnson paper and apologizes
'for the action of the rebels just like our
neighbor except that it does n't suppress
facts. Let every body read these statements
carefully and then make up their minds on
Johnson's system of reconstruction.
In the mean time, an immense concourse of people
had congregated at the junction of Dryades and Canal,
and more looking toward the Capitol, some of them
shouting and blaspheming terribly. The whole city was
in a tremble. finch excitement as the citizens exhibited
I never witnessed before. The crowd just mentioned
comprised mon of every grade in society,including many
young in years, who wore brandishing revolvers in the
air, and )vere seemingly anxious to be led on ,to the
destruction of the Conventioners and all of the freedmen
near and in the building. A similar crowd had assem
bled in Common-st., at the other end of the block in
which the Institute is located. Many members of the
police force Were mingled with these crowds. They
soon commenced firing at the freedmen In front of the
building and drove them into it.
The mob and the police filled the sidewalk and the
stairway of the building. Shots were fired through the
windows from both in and outside, and bricks, paving
stones, clubs and other missiles were thrown from both
directions. A gentleman named Fox came down stairs
and wits arrested ; but on stating that lie was merely a
spectator he woe released and walked across the street,
where he shielded himself on a doorstop. From hiepo
sition lie could see inside the building which he Mid
just loft, and ho states that only one person after him
came out without being killed or badly wounded as
they came down stairs by the police and the mob of
rioters accompanying them. Ciov, Hahn, who is lassie
and walks with a crutch, was met on the stairs as he
canto down, and escorted nut to the curbstone by two
policemen. On reaching. the sidewalk he was surround
ed by about twenty persons who beat him on the back
of the head with clubs, and he received a sevept stab in
the back, also apistol shot flnm behind. It is probable
that this shot was fired by a policemen. On reaching
Canal at. he was placed in a carriage, and under the
charge of the Chief of Police woe taken safely to the lock
up. Ile owes his life to the chief and his squad, as they
prevented him from being lynched. Fisk, Henderson,
Shaw and other members were treated likewise. Os
reaching the foot 01 the stairs tivoy were beaten by the
police and the mob, and after being rendered insensible
were dragged off to Anil. An attempt to lynch Pick was
made on - Canal At., but the police in charge of him pre
vented it, although they nearly kited him themnelves
by beating him with the butts of their pistols. Bet few
freedmen wore arrested coming out of the building, Its
they were nearly all shot dead at sight. The Ilev. Mr.
Horton, n'lclorgyman from New Hampshire, now in
charge of a porch in this city, officiated as chaplain of
the Convention. I hearth his prayer at the opening, in
which Ito asked fervently that the lives of the members
might be spared, and thanked Goil that Peace had been
declared in Europe, praying for the same blessing in this'
conntry. Inn habit peculiarly ministerial, one which
distinctly marked him as a clergyman, ho come !limn
stairs with a while handkerchief on his cane, Intending
to surrender himself peaceably. Ito was met, knocked
down, trampled upon, kicked and beaten nearly to
death, while begging for mercy,
On Common, naronno, Dryades, Be. Charles, Rama port
and Carondolet six., freedmen were murdered by the
police and the 11101, in cold libiod. Standing in the door
of the telegraph on Cartindolet, I saw about 200 men
chasing one negro along the side, alk. Six policemen
were overeat to him, and In ad Vallee of his pursuers.—
They emptied their revolvers into his back, and finally
another ono, when be was near enough to hie victim to
lay Lis hands on his shoulder, shot him in the head, and
he full dead in an alley. Another freedmen trying to
escape from the Institute was climbing over a fence,
when I saw him fall from a policeman's shot. Ax he
struck the gmtual at least a dozen police and rioters
surrounded him nod fired their pistols Into hie head and
breast, at the same time pounding hint with clubs and
canes.
The affair commenced at 12.45, and lasting three hours
ended at 3.45. It did not end until every negro and
white man in the Institnte had been either killed or
wounded and captured, with the exception of three or
tier whites. As there were about 100 men of both
ChM.). In the building, and about 50 wounded outside,
the total carmalit lee will amount to 125, of whom 50 were
killed or have 'duce died front their wounds. This es
timate is moderate.
The police impressed the baggage wagon of an express
firm in tho city to carry off the dead ; ono load consist
ing of eight or tell bodies, had two living nice at the
bottom. They were wounded, mid perhaps would have
died ; lint they had life enough lett in them to struggle
for air. An eye witness, whose name I can furnish, says
that a policeman mounted the cart, and shoving his re
volver down !why., the bodies on top, killed the poor
fellows, with one shot for each. The fiendish thirst for
blood which seemed to possess 81.1110 of the rioters woo
too brutal for even the Imagination of a savage. Their
eyes gleamed with It, aunt rolled in their sockets; their
tongues protruded from their months, parched mid
shriveled almost, and their voices grew hooky from de
monic yells.
These plain statements taken from an Ad
ministration journal need no comment.
The scones of murder and atrocity they d.
s
cribe have no extenuating circumstances con
fleeted with them. Returned rebel soldiers de
determine to murder the prominent Union
mon of the city because they were Union men
and to slaughter as many negroes as possi
ble merely because they cannot now make
merchandizo of them and they do their work
in a manner that must rejoice the 'hearts of
every apologist for treason in the land.
Grant everything that can bo said against
the Convention and it does'nt change the
aspect of the case in the slightest. Cit:N.
SUERMAN says that the "police could have
made any arrest they saw fit without sacri
ficing any lives." If this is true, then mur
dering Union men in the streets of New
Orleans for three long hours was the amuse
ment of those who cheered for Andrew
Johnson and Jeff. Davis by turns whilst
engaged in their fiendish work. The ri./-
unteer has no word of rebuke for this but
labors to exouse these most fiendish outra
ges. This is not strange. A journal that
has systemeatically defended the Democracy
since they first inaugurated civil war in
Kansas, is akout ready for anything in that
line that can ever come up.
Geo. Postmaster Zinn
According to announcement, the penitent
ox-radical whose name wo have written above
appeared before a meeting of the Clymer
Club, in the Court House on Saturday
evening het, made a public renunciation of
his former faith, announced his accep
tance of and promised his adherence to the
copperjohnson bread and butter
philosophy.
Qn taking the stand amid the howls and
cat calls of the audience, Mr. Zinn said ho
was in'n novel predicament and ryas 90 much
embarrassed as to bo entirely unqualified to
do justice to the occasion., It .had hp 9. said
by some malicious persons that the fact of his
holding a twenty-live hundred dollaroftleo'
under Andy Johnson,had something to do
with his conviction, and„ conversion ; ho
would' say that ho was not,entirely controlled
by, th,O almighty. dollar. But, that was
neither here nor there—he was present for

they wore entirely prepared 'to return. The
radicals would hold the South in their power
until Certain conditions were complied with.,
The spefil4begaid that there was no warrant
in the 00iititution for this-L-ii, was usurped
poweirevollitionary, hostile, . tyrannical,
treasCnable, its Jeff Davis himself. When
the Ropublican:party came to, his (Zinn's)
platform they could have hitif _back again
but not before. " War and Finigans play
ed out—want peace now." After a little
more in the same strain, Zinn sat down
amid the most demoniacal yells of applause.
We'llave given above a pretty full report
of what Mr. Zinn said using nearly his own
language. It is hardly necessary to write a
word of.comment. Not the most ignorant
and besotted copperhead present, was con
vinced of anything but that the Postmaster's
spoken piece was a dismal failure to convince
this community that his own pussilanimity
was the result of anything but pay. Ho had
received his price, was there to turn over
the goods, and he did 'lt. 'For full fifteen
years has this man ,been supported by the
Republican party and ho is so wedded to
place that he follows Gov. Orr to retain it.
He has dropped the " Star Spangled Banner"
and tuned his pipes to " Dixie." Wo wish
our copperhead friends much joy of their
recruit, butgadmonish them that ho is an
old bird and can't be kept on chaff.
The Philadelphia Convention has ad
journed and its results have already passed
into oblivion. It was merely a gathering
of political fossils and reconstructed rebels
sent to Philadelphia by the Heads of De
partments at Washington and by State Com
mittees of the Democratic Party. It repre
sented simply nothing except the gentlemen
assembled. It was intended as a farce
to amuse the people while a faithless Ex
ecutive in. direct violation of every prom
ice and pledge made during the time the
loyal people of the Country honored him
with their confidence, was using the immense
patronage at his control to place the defeated
rebels of the South again in control of the
Government. Fortunately for the Country,
the people can no longer be blinded to the
issues before them by any stage performance
no matter how elaborately it may be ar
ranged or how skilfully it is exhibited.
They fully comprehend that the Government
will be safe in the hands of those who rescued
it from treason and they fully intend that
there it shall remain. The gathering of a
regiment of men from all parts ( f the Coun
try to meet in a rootless building at Phila
delphia will not turn them from their pur
pose any more than the loss of the patronage
of the Government has done.
Tho proceedings of the Convention may
be summed up briefly thus. It was placed
under the guidance and management of
Thurlow Weed by the authorities at Wash
ington. lie had General Dix made Presi
dent.pro tem, and Senator Doolittle perma
ment President of the Convention. Ile
then arranged with Vallandigham the
Woods and Henry Clay Dean to withdraw.
The harmless but noisy, crazy man Geo. IP,
Train was amused with a serenade and was
thus kept from being troublesome. 'Then
the South Carolina and Massachusetts 'dele
gations, headed by Gov. Unit and GEN.
COUCH were paraded through the wigwam
arm in arm at the sight of which the spec
tators applauded and the " patriots " of the
Convention wept.' After these performances
wore over Henry J. Raymond read the ad
dress of the Convention to the people pre
pared by himself, which kas merely it sy
nopsis of the speeches he made whilst in
Congress against measures for which ho
fir...lly voted. As no ono was allowed to
make speeches this address immediately
adopted—Raymond for once voting as no
talked. A series of resolutions was also
adopted and a committee appointed to carry
the proceedings to the President and then
the Convention adjourned. Thus ended
Johnson's grand National Union Conven
tion and in six months all recollection of its
meeting will have vanished from the minds
of all but those who were a portion of the
concern.
Last week's Caeausian contains a pretty
well executed full length picture of the ju
nior editor of the Volunteer. By a slight
alteration in the head piece, it is attempted
to palm this gentleman off as a i adical orator
at the Mechanicsburg Mass meeting. But
it wont do—the familiar curves and angles
stick out all around, and although wo may
extol the business tact which would make
the cut do double duty, we matt disclaim
the insinuation that the Volunteer people
have anything to do with radical mass
meetings.
FIGURES WON'T LIE
The slave States had in 1860 a white pop
ulation of 8,838,99 G, and 85 representatives
and 30 Senators, that is to say that the ba
sis of representation was 94,537.—The
white population of the 19 free States was
in 1860, 18,667,429, and they had 156 repre
sentatives and 38 senators. The basis of
representation was 119,660. Thus the South
with considerably less than one third of the
population, had 85 representatives and 30
sonitters against 156 representatives and 38
senators from the free State's. This un
equal power was derived from being al
lowed to want every five of their slaves as
three, as the Constitution allowed them to
do. Now, since slavery is abolished, un
less a change is made by an amendment to
be Constitution, the South will be entitled
to count all the negroes—not every five as
three but as jive—because they are no long
er slaves, but free blacks, and to base their
representation upon that. This will give
them 18 additional members of the House
which added to the 85 they arc now entitled
to would g4ve theneqa. That is, the South
with about one fourth of the population of
the entire country would be invested with
nearly half its power. ' •

4 •43"ENRRA.L DICK TAYLOR, brother in law
of Jeff Davis, is a delegate to the Philadel
phia •Convention. The following extract
from h letter written by him during the war
should have a. free pass :
•'I have been unofficially informed that
some of our troops have captured negroes in
arms. I hope this may not be so, and that
your subordinates in command of capturing
parties, may have recognized the propriety
of giving no quarter to armed negroes and
their officers."
That live paper, the Toledo Blade, says
the President complains that eleven States
had no voice in maturing the Civil rights and
Freeman's Bureau bill. Therefore, his
vetoes.
We ,suggest a further lesson from this
same text. Eleven States had no voice in
Andrew Johnson's election, and twenty five
more repudiate his act. Let him therefore
resign.
Some one has sent us tire initial number
of a paper published at Linn, Osage Co., Afo.
The name of the sheet is, "The Unterrified
Democratl"—the first we have seen since
the draft of 1864..—Bunker Hill Gazette.
If not inconsistent with the public inter
ests the people would like to know what
success the managers of President Johnson's
little corruption scheme are having in this
county. The aggregate National Govern
ment patronage hero 'can't he much less
than $20,000 per annum. In a party that
has as great a love for spoils as ours that
should buy some votes. How many have
you got gentlemen? We know of one but
he went over from pi iuciple and you
needn't let him have the office any longer.
He thinks us Radicals all traitors and of
course would have voted for Clymer if there
hadn't been an office on this side of Jordan.
Can't you muster more recruits? One vote
is good enough as far as it goes but:
you'll need more we very much fear. The
time is passing rapidly wherein you may
work. Pray 'do something at once, now
that you are all hack from the Philadelphia
Convention. You have been manipulating
things for more than three months and
your 'converts arift, burdensome by any
means. You must be very stupid or else you
have a pad party to operate on. If Moses don't
curse you soundly when you report to him
how little you have done in the way of buying
votes with offices in this county it will be
because lie isn't profane and not for lack of
provocation.

for general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by
women and boyer. Such watches nro composed of son -
