WHAT A LIE!
The American Volunteer is about the big
gest liar in the C ited States. In its issue
ofyesterday it says GRANT, SHERMAN, SHERI
DAN and MEADE are with the President and
support his infernal policy " On its face
this ,is one of the shabbiest lies, but
lest by bare possibility somebody should
believe the story, the Volunteer is careful
to refute it in the same—issue. It. says all
the officers named above have joined in the
call for the Johnson soldiers' convention to
be held in Cleveland . lthw three columns
further on the same issue is printed the
call for this convention, and not one of Me
names written above appears in it. What
must be said of such bare faced falsification?
A delegate to the late Philadelphia con
vention in a late speech in. the Court
House, gave a glowing account of the cheers
that wont up " from 20,000 throats" when
that part of Raymond's address was read
which encouraged the South to new revolt
unless the control of the Government was
given them. What a convention that must
have been ! there were'nt 4,01)0 people in
the wigwam even when it was most jam-
Med. As the delegate's statement about the
" 20,000 throats" is, to all who know him
"confirmation strong as Holy writ," that
there wore so many, each person present
must have had at least five throats. This
Johnson party must be as great a curiosity
anatomically as it is politically.
JUDGE HEPBURN illfOrkned his "hearers
that, the South would lose sixty representa
tives in Congress' if the constitutional
amendments were adopted. The census of
1860 show that they had but EIGHTEEN then
for their whole population of negroes. We
wish - the Judge - would fix up his statistics
and letlis'conscience take care of itself for
a little. He is ono of the most scrupulously
honest men in town, but then he sadly needs

The long-drawn agony is happily past and
wo breatho'free once again. The Collector
of internal revenue for the 16th district of
Pennsylvania is appointed. Wm Penn
Lloyd, a young Democrat from one 9U:the
lower townships of this county wd - nra in
formed is the lucky individual. Amtnedi
atoly upon it becoming amnirent that our
Accidontalyresident was turning over the
governmeahto rebels and traitors north and
south, Levi Kaufman gaVe the Washington
authorities formal notice that his honor and
integrity were not in the market and that
whenever the ultimatum became th o advocacy
of a policy which consigned every loyal man
north or south to the tender mercies of
defiant, unrepentant traitors; his office was
'at the disposal of the President. From that,
hour up to the time the appointment was
mrde, the most persistent and industrious
efforts have been made to find a Republican
of any prominence who would agree to
barter his faith and honor for this fat office.
Thank God, these efforts failed utterly in
every instance, and our party in this county
to-day presents the sublime spectacle of im
pregnable purity and unspotted virtue.
Probably never before in the history of our
country has a lucrative official position,iike
this of the Revenue Collectorship—worth
to its possessor probably $5OOO per annum
literally gone begging for an acceptor who
would consent to give his manhood in ex
change. Even as late as Thursday last, the
day upon which the appointment was to be
agreed upon beyond appeal, the copperhead
managers, were Convassing fora bread end
butter Republican who could be wheedled
into its acceptance. Rut, all honor WU()
Republicans of Cumberland County, no
man who had ever professed adherence to
the administration of the martyred Lincoln
could be found who could be brought to the
base uses of supporting the, great Apostate's
treasonable and murderous. policy."
Then the scramble commenced among
le Cops, and after an interminable -wrangle,
this young gentleman above named
secured the spoil, with On definite under
standing that the appointinonts to be made
under him were to go to the old pensioners
of the Democracy. In this contest the Ahis
iVe'sented their candidate for the collector-
hip, in the perF,on of Captain \V. MI ',LER,
of the firm of MILLER, & BOWERS, hard
ware merchants, but for some unexplained
cause, the former party who have heretofore
been omnipotent as almoners of ithe spoils
were overslaughod by the immeasurably less
powerful reiunteer faction. Thfs may be
accounted for by the fact that Mr. BRATToN

ti d coup de main on his own account—who
knows?

ditions on the rebel States before admitting
then) into the Union launched into a glori
fication of AN.Da w .JOHNSON. Among
other wise acts of his administration he
commended him for requiring them to pass
the Constitutional Amendment abolishing
Slavery " before lie admitted them into the
Union." Query—lf the States weren't out
how CORN the Rfo resaid Andrew Johnson
adMit them, or impose conditions for their
dmission ? They had no representatives in
Co gross when this amendment was passed ;
has it any validity according to the doctrines
of S. Hepburn and A. Johnson Esquires?
It it has no validity, will it be binding on
the South Y And valid or invalid was it
r .11. a t
~cognition until they adopt
ed it ? A ndrewJohnson imposed conditions
on the States before he recognized them ;.
Congress claims it has a right also to impose
conditions. Judge Hepburn thinks the
President wise and patriotic and CoLgress
fanatical and revolutionary. Congress was
elected by the polite, the President by J.
Wilkes Booth. Vu hieh is the fountain of
power, the majority of the loyal people or the
traitor assassin ? We ask for information.
JUDGE FI EPBU Rti assert i s,4nt if the first
section of the Constitutioriar - iihendment is
ltd. , pted, " the white people of Pennsylvania
Cannot prevent a negro from being Judge of
the Court, 'nein ber of Congress or of the legi—
lature, juror, on ' , nom MARRYING THEIR
DA PUlt•r E Well we know a very respecta
ble and highly talon ted white gentleman that
the pepple or this district prevented being
member of Congress, and his own party
prevented being J udge of the Court, member
of the Legislature and would very likely
have prevented attending the Philadelphia
Convention if they had been consulted in
the matter. We presume that acting (1 the
same way the white people of 'Pennsyllynuitt
could prevent negroes from becoming Mem
bers of congress, judges &c., even if the
amendment was what the Judge will insist
it to be. In 1860 there were 50 white men
to one negro. Is the white race in danger
of being crowded out with this preponder
ance? But then this marrying business is
terrible. Don't our fair girls of Carlisle feel .
complimented when they are told that there
is danger of their bit . idng negro husbands.
It is a common threat with the pensioners
of Atidrow Johnson that if the rights of
the South are not granted to them there will
be commotion and civil war ; " that 20,000
bayonets will be arried by the late Philadel
phia Convention (that is five and one seven
teenth bayonets for every man who was there)
resist this radical tyranny and oppression."
Now gentlinen just allow us a suggestion,
The - picrty;that — taved this : country from your
treason is going into this' political contest
just as it did in 1860. It has enticiated its
principles without any reserve or conceal
ment. It intends that the people shall vote
on them freely. It has no gifts or offices
or spoils to, buy men's votes with. If it
succeeds it will be because the people ap
prove and commend the principles which it
placed before them. If it fails it will be
because those principles are not approved.
In that event the party of the Union Will
submit to tho expressed will of the people .
as it has always done lierdtofore. If it suc
ceeds and that is just as cortain'as that the
'people, of this great bountry as free, honest,
intelligent and patriotic, it will require the
same submission from the
,party of treqswt.
If there is again war in the land it will'be
brought,by that parent ,of all treason, dis
loyalty, and rebellion thoDomocratic; Party.
No other organization has enough innate
wickedness td deluge again this fair land in
blood. So gentlemen if

The White Man's Party
The Reading Daily Dispatch thus sensi
bly disposes of the rebel-copperhead cry
of "while man's government"
Will the Copperheads tell the people why,
if they reeogr.ize the abolition 01 slavery,
they still insist that the whites are entitled
to represent the negroes? Will they tell
the people how this can be a "white man's
government," with 41 votes in the Winse,
and the saine number in the electoral col
lege cased upon negro population ? Come
up to the scratch and don't dodge We
insist on the reason why four white men in
Maryland have as much power as five white
men in Pennsylvania, and why seven Vir
ginians aro , equal to eleven Pennsylva
nians? Let us have a "white map's gov
ernment," in which all white men shall be
equal I Isn't a whine soldier as good as a
non-voting negro? and who but a modern
Democrat wants to so classify him? When
the white man owned the negro, he had an
interest in him, but now that the negro is
free, no man has a right to represent him
without his consent. Who ire the friends
of a "white man's government?" Certainly
not the men who propose to give the South
a sixth part of the power of the Govern
ment, based upon non-voting negroes.
Come, your reasons for this. Don't longer
''beat the bush, but he manful and speak
out."
"It is only party prejudice and discipline
that keeps the Republicans away from
Andrew Johnson. Thaddeus Stevens cracks
the whip and they all obey his orders." Oh
yes, of course. Now tell us what whip
Thaddeus Stevens has to crack. An old
man tottering under the weight of four
score years, without a single office in his
gift or the power now to gain even a clerk
ship for a friend, dictates to the Republican
party ; are'nt you ashamed of such stuff?
Andrew Johnson with a greater patronage
than any ruler on the earth, with princely
offices in his gift, cracked his whip and told
the party that they must obey his policy.—
Ile denounced the bravo old radical ns a
traitor, and threatened all his place holders
with removal if they didn't join in the same
chorus. Well, the party coolly loft Andrew
Johnson and that so entirely that he hadn't
one left - for every fifty offices he had to hes
toss'. Now let our slanderers know that the
Republican party receives orders and dicta
tion from no man. They love 'and revere
THADDEUS STEVE:4s because they know
now that he was wise enough to discover
Andrew .Johnson's attempt to make traitors
our rulers, and was true and bold enough
to resist it stoutly from the first. For this
true to his trust they will follow him. But
should he betray the cause of his country as
shamefully as our President has done ho
would be equally powerless to lead or drive.
The: REPUBLICANS of Lancaster having
a clear majority of 5000 have nominated
soldiers for the offices of Prothonotary,
Register, and Clef., of the Courts. These
are the most lucrative court officers outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, in the State.
This was not done under the pressure of the
soldier influence or in obedience to the
threats of any maudlin officers, but the
nominations were made by acclamation—all
the civilian competitors withdrawing in
favor of the soldiers. Another brave sol
dier was nominated or State Senator,
another for the Lower House of the Legis
lature and another for Coroner. Thus our
party, in the strongest republican County
in tine State bestows its most honorable and
lucrative offices on those who fought for
the flag. Let us see what the strongholds
of Dvinoerney will do for thoin.

Johnson, President of the (whole) United

General TODD called the attention of the
meeting to ale National Convention of
Southern Loyalists to be held in Philadel
phia on Monday next, September 3d, and
explained that whilst Pennsylvania would be
partially represented through Governor
CURTIN'S recommendation that our Con
gressional deleMition attend, those districts
which are new so grossly inisropresented by
copperheads would be unrepresented unless
some immediate local action was taken.
The Gen., then moved in most eloquent
apoooli that our county oxooutivo committee
be instructed to ednfer with the Union Com
mittee of York and Perry, and that through
their joint action representatives from this
district be sent to the September convention.
The motion was unanumously adopted.
The President then introduced Col. A. K.
McCLuais, of Franklin, who proceeded to ad
dress the meeting presenting the most elo
quent and exhaustive exposition of the great
issues of political campaign it has boon our
pleasure to listen td. - Although the address
occupied more than two hours of time, yet
the language and ideas were so terse and
compact as to render their epitomization in
the space we haSe difficult, if not impossible.
His starting point was the commencement
of the great rebellion, showing how utterly
causeless and inexcusable it was, ho proved
indisputably that although defeated in their
appeal to the sword, the high priests of the
rebel confederacy had abated nu jot or little
of their wicked purpose to destroy the gov
ernment of this republic, By and through
Andrew Johnson's active aid these recon
structed rebels expect to accomplish in Con
gress what they failed to do in the, field.
The proposed amendments to the national
constitution comprised the platform of prin
ciples upon which the loyal people of the
whole country stood and upon which alone
could this government be perpetuated. Glan
cing at the wicked attempt of Democratic
leaders to mislead the vulgar and ignorant
into the belief that these amendments com
prehend negro suffrage, Mr. McCIA; RE
characterized this method of electioneering
by misrepresentation as only worthy of the
Democratic party. As to the boasted consti
tutional "rights" of rebels and traitors, the
only right the. &institution gave them was
the right to die. The loyal people did not
ask this—it was in no spirit of merciless
vengeance, akin to that which butchered
Union men in Memphis and New Orleans,
that rebels were excluded from our National
councils. The conditions precedent to the cor
dial acceptance and hearty reenncf.nntion of
sue nontnern States were simply that they
should bring in their hands in exchange for the
mercy of a magnanimous people the offer
ings of justice. Equal justice before the law
was all that was demanded and that must
come. The Speaker in the course of his re
marks, turned his attention to Judge Hep
burn's tearfully tender lamentations about
the danger of the übiquitous African getting
control of the Government, and proposed
special amendment to the organic law pro
viding that no person of ~..frican blood shall
be permitted to compote with said Hepburn
in the race for legal political or social dis
tinction.
Gen. TODD, being loudly called for replied
in a short speech denouncing rebels and cop
perheads with his old-time eloquent fervor.
Here is another proof of the manner in
which Geary and those ho led fought. We
quote from a letter written by the Rev.
Theodore L. Cuyler, dated at Gettysburg,
Aug. 8, 1866, and printed in The Indepen
dent, Aug. 16. It is a descriptive letter of
the battle-field of Gettysburg, in which the
following passage occurs :
Just back of the soldiers' graves lies the
burial-ground of the villagers. Gen. How
ard held this during the fight, and with
characteristic tenderness caused the monu
ments to be laid upon the ground, lest they
should be shattered by shells. Some idea
may be formed of the fiery hail of the battle
by the fact that on the southeastern side of
Culp's Hill there is a tree still standing that
bears ono hundred and sixty scars of shells
and Minie balls! It is.in the thick forest
where Ewell's corps (including the Stone : _
wail- Brigade") engaged Gen. Geary's di
vision of the 12th corps. Yet at this very
time the claims of this gallant Gen. Geary
to the Governor's chair of Pennsylvania
are contested by a stay-at-home Copperhead,
named Clymer
There is truth, grave and impressive
truth, in the above quotation. While
Geary was periling his life in resisting the
rebel army at Gettysburg, Clymer was ready
to welcome Lee and his hordes to ravage
the State. He voted as a Senator against
placing the State in a condition of defense.
History proves this, while it establishes
Geary's glory as a soldier and ability as a
statesman.
The systematic violence of these abolition
ruffians must be suppressed.—Reading Ga
zelle
This is the kind of language used by the
Gazette, on all occasions when speaking of
the great Union party. True, to the in •
stincts of his rebel masters the editor' goes .
in for waging war against every prinelplo
that does not chime with secession and dis- ,
union and support Davis and Johnson. Ho
knows!th‘oro is no ground on which to base
an. argument in • support . of his nameless'
party, consequently he in for war.
When demodats begin to talk ,of war, we
are sure to be blesso with peace; They are
not'a fighting party, but they do love to
blow, and that is generally ,the end .of it,:

"It is publicly assorted that a private let

A Southern Sentiment
The Wilmington (N. C.) Dispatch thus
avows its interest in the success of the Cop
perhead candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania:
WE LIKE HIM
• "We gather from the record that Mr.
Clymer, from the day that the Confederates
crossed over at Greencastle into the smiling
Cumberland valley, became an ardent,
avowed sympathiser, with the traitors, and
an ardent supporter of the Rebellion. In
other words, he became u so-called Copper
head, as in fact he had always , been before,
and refused to render aid in resisting tho
invasion. 'Mr. Clymer is also now ready to
take these traitors by the hand, and to as
sist them to assert thmr privileges under the
Government. Now, in ourhumble opinion,
all these things are the very best indications
that could be given us that Mr. Clymer de
serves to bd"Governor of Pennsylvania."
We congratulate Mr. Clymer on the ad
vacacy of such an assistant. ""ii, loses him
probably a thousand votes the moment that
the South comes out on his side. We can
only recommend him to use the prayer that
Heaven would save him from his friends.

Fighting IMEaSked Batteries as Here
tofore
When Geary marched in triumph through
the heart of the rebellion, one of his great
est impediments was presented in the mask
ed batteries which he was compelled to de
m'Olish. In an open field, the rebels of the
South were easily crushed. Concealed by
masked batteries they were able to prolong
thmwar. But even masked batteries were
not proof against Yankee valor. In. the
political canipaign just opened,. the rebels of
the North are disposed to try the plank of
the rebels of the South. At York, the other
day, a fire was opened on the boys in blue by
Copperheads concealed behind »tasked bat
teries. But even while thus protected, it
only required one charge from the boys in
blue to put the skulkors to flight I
Henceforth during the campaigns, let the
friends of Clymer be known as the .1/4.iked
Battery Skulkers ! —Hanover Spectator.
Our renegade President threatens to re
every Republican office holder who
will not, like himself, turn traitor to his
party and support the Rebel policy. All
things considered wo think that Johnson
has fairly earned the title of the biggest
scoundrel in the United States.
—Tho Copper-Johnson men are boasting
that they will elect ten Pennsylvania Con
gressmen this Fall—in place of eight as nt
present. Taking the returns for Auditor
General last Fall as a basis, (and we shall
do better this yeas•,) the Republicans will
gain the member in the Lebanon and
Schuylkill district, the Luzerno and Susque
hanna district, and the Westin°, eland dis
trict, and more than hold their own in other
districts. This would bo a loss of throe
members to the Copper-Johnsons, ana mako
the delegation from Pennsylvania stand 19
Republicans to 5 Copperheads, instead of 19
to 8 as nt present.
ANOTHER DEMAND .—The rebel journals
demand from the President a proclamation
of universal amnesty, and aro especially
anxious to secure the immediate release of
JEFF DAv is, which they allege, would be
the crowning act of the Administration."
On those points the Augusta ((3n.) Coma
in/win/Use of the 23d instant says:
JEFFERSON DAVIS is in prison and we
want to see him out. Tho old excuse of
policy is threadbare to us now. 'We are
sick of being told that "it would embarrass
the President" to lot him go." Jdstice,
Mercy, Honor, never embarrass any man.
If Mr. JOHNSON thinks ho must let Mr.
DA Vis die in captivity lest his release should
strengthen the Radicals, what does he mean
by making such defiant speeches against
them as that delivered by him in Washing
ton on Saturday last. If Policy does'nt
forbid'his denouncing theta; to their very
teeth as tyrants, oppressors, and scoundrels,
why should Policy forbid his aciing a little
that way and letting a dying captive go
Come lot us, see a little conciliation. Wo
have heard about it long enough. If it jA
over going to mean anything let, it mean it
now. Give Mr; Thins n trial or let him go.
And then let us go a step :further in this
practical exemplification of this most esti
mable virtue. Let us depart from the grim
walls of that Federal fortress, and setr - uS
down in this , Georgia city of Augusta. Let ,
us ask why a Worthy gentleman in our midat

We have been advised here that prior to
the assembling
of the illegal and extinct
convention elected in 18114, inflammatory
and insurrectionary speeches were made to
a mob composed of white rind colored per
sons, urging upon them to arm and equip
themselves for the purpose of protecting and
sustaining the convention in its illegal and
unauthorized proceedings, intended and
calculated to Ulan blipersrau t h e I•x

pose of sustaining the convention in its

known to be connected with this mob?
Have not various individuals boon assassi
nated and shot by persons connected with
this mob, without good cause, and in viola

Was not the assembling of this convention
and the gathering of the mob for its defense
and protection the main cause of the riotous
and unlawful proceedings of the civil au

taken by the civil authorities to arrest and

this riot and those who have committed of

And finally Gen. Sheridan in reply :
OFFIi E OF U. S. MILITARY TELEURAVII,
Tilo following cipher telegram received
4.30 a. M Afigust 6, 1866, fr o m New llr
leans, La., August 6, 12 181iG :
His Excellency Andrew Johnson, Po s I,'n
of the United States :
1 have the honor to make the following
reply to your dispatch of. August 1:
A very large number of the colored peo
ple marched in procession on Friday night,
July 27, and were addressed from the steps
of the City Hall by Dr. Dostie, Ex- Gover
nor Hahn and others. The speech of Dos
tie was intemperate in language and senti
ment. The speeches of the others, so far as
1 can learn, were characterized by modera
tion. 1 have not given you the words of
Dostie's speech, as the version published was
denied, but from what 1 have learned of the
man I believe they were intemperate.
The Convention assembled at 12 tr., on
the 30th, the timid members ab,enting
themselves because the tone of the general
public was ominous of trouble. I think
there were but about twenty-six members
present. In front of the Alt:eh:lnks' Insti
tute, whore the meeting was held, there were
assembled some colored men, women and
children, perhaps eighteen or twenty, and
in the institute a number of colored men,
probably 100.,
Among those outside and inside there
might have been a pistol in the possession of
every tenth man. About IP. a proces
sion of say front sixty to one hundred and
thirty colored men marched Op Burgundy
street and across Canal street, towards the
convention, carrying an American flag.
These men had about one pistol to every ten
men, and canes and clubs in addition.
While crossing Canal street a row occurred."
Thoro wore many spectators on the streets,
and their manner and tone towards the pro
cession unfriendly.
A shot was fired, by whom I am not able
to state, but believe it to have been a police
man at some colored man in the procession.
This led to other shots and a rush after the
procession. On arrival at the front of the
Institute, there was some allowing of brick
bats by both sides. The' police, who had
been .hold well in hand, were vigorously
marched to the scone of disorder. The pro
cession entered the. institute With the flag,
about 'sji or eight _remaining Outside: -
A row occurred between a policeman and
one of the colored men, and a shot was tired
by . onc.of the parties which led to an indis
criminate fire on the building through the
whid6Wii•by the poliComen. This had been
•going on for a short time when a white flag
. was displayed from :tho,windows of the in
• sytuto,, whereupon the. firing ceased and the
'policemen rnshod into 'the building.
'From the testiinonyof the wounded men
and others who wore inside tho building, the'
policemen' opened an indiscriminate fire
:upon tho audience until they had emptied
their revolvers, when ahoy retired, and those
'insideliarrictided tho doors. Tlio doors were
broken in and tho firing again Commenced,
when many of the colored' and 'white people
either escaped through the doors or wore

'of the'prosent Mayor; who in the organize-

kticv drioano were oygriiwvd by
•
want of confidence in the Mayor and the
fear of the Thugs, many of whom ho had
selected for his police force. I have fre
quently been spoken to by proiffinent citi
zens on this subject, and have heard them
express fear and want of confidence in Mayor
Monroe, ever since the intimation of this
last convention movement. I must condmn
the course of several of the city papers for
supporting by their articles the bitter feel
ing of bad men.
As to the merciless manner in which the
convention was broken up, I feel obliged to
confess strong repugnance. It ig useless to
attempt to disguise the hostility that exists
on the part of a great ntan3i here toward
Northern men ; and this unfortunate affair
has so precipitated matterathat there is now
a test of what shall be the status of Northern
men ; whether they can live here' without
being in constant dread, or whether they can
be protected in life and property and have
justice in the ceurts. , If this matter is per
mitted to pass over without a thorough and
determined prosecution of those engaged in
it, we may look out for frequent scenes of the
same kind.
No steps have as yet been taken by the
civil authorities to arrest citizens who were
engaged in this massacre, or policemen who
perpetrated such crueltice. The members of
the convention have been indicted by the
Grand Jury, and many of them arrested and
held to bail. As to whether the civil autho
rities can mote out ample justice to the guil
ty parties on both sides, I must say that it is
my opinion unequivocally that they cannot.
Judge Abel, whose course I have watched
for nearly a. year, I now consider one of the
most clangorous men that wo have here to the
peace and quiet of the city. The leading
men of the convention, King, Cutler, Hahn
and others, have been political agitators and
are bad men. I regret to say that the course
of Governor Wells has been vacillating, and
that during the Into trouble he lies shown
very liitle of the man. 11. SHERIDAN,

Grand Mass-Meeting at Reading
REA DINO, I'A., Aug. 23d 186.)
Yesterday will long be re Illeinbered by
the citizens of Reading as one of the great
est they have ever witnessed in their good
ly city. The immense number of freemen
gathered there for wine, ' the l o v e o f ,dliee,
Or the fear of political decapitation have no
inducements: to desert principles, was well
calculated to strike terror to the heart of the,
hitherto "unterrilied. - At an early hoar•
the delegations fr,An the adjacent counties
begun to arrive. Every train which arrived
was laden with human freight, until the
streets presented a mass of tri.ving human
beings. As the delegations arrived, they
were escorted through the town to the head
quarters °Men. Gearv, and with cheers tor
our distingiMhed elinaidate, were dismissed.
Gen. Cleary's headquarters were at the
"Sehmucker House, - and during the morn
ing he was called upon, and received his
numerous friends. There was a continuous
stream of persons pacsing through the hall
and into the parlor, where, after taking the
hero of severity battles by the hand, they
again passed out. All were favorably im
pressed with the man whom they are going
to honor by electing lain Governor.
About noon the delegationswere f o rmed
into lino by Gen. Ilartranft, Chief' Marshal
and marched through the principal streets
of the city.
The numerous banners borne in the pro
cession were ammting and appropriate.—
Lehigh county carried a banner with the
inscription "Lehigh and La'nettster, enter
arm in arm, - Chester cum ty had a banner
which represented "M , ,t Policy" going in at
the big end and coming out at the little end
of a horn, indication'tof what it would be
after October next. The Lebanon "boys in
blue" had n banner "We vote 11.,
out tile holtet-riddled battle flag of the trld
veteran regiMitnt, carried It( four one armed
berth's. In its procession WIN an old veter
an of !II years, Mr. Daniel ILxlor. The
Pottsville delegation carried a tine large oil
painting of Gent' Geary on horseback, and a
number of banners, era. 0110 which was in
scribed, "Treason must bo made odious, but
not according to Nloses the second." Lan
caster bore a large flag mid banners: " Old
Warwick ever true to the Union, - "Union
ists for Congress, not tleete who killed,
starved and maimed air c.iinrados," Re
member Anler:um - W.., Libby Prison and
Salisbury." Birusboro, a small town on the
line of the Reading R. R. had a delegation
of 250 voters, with a banner, "Clymer stock
no sale at Birdsboro." It is impossible to
enumerate all—suffice to say, the equal has
never been witnessed in Pennsylvania, out
side of Philadelphia or Pittsburg. The
l`nionists were pleasantly surprised, the few
Copper.johnsons astonished, and the Cop
perheads dumbfounded. We found not a
few Democrats who said that they had al
ways voted with the Democratic party, but
dna they could not n .t i ty en d orse Hip s t er
Clymer. Wherever Gen. (loamy went he
was greeted with applause, and pointed out
as the man.
About one o'clock Col. Frank Jordan,
chairman,of the State Central Committee,
stated that as one of the speakers was com
pelled to leivje at 2 o'clock, he would intro
duce Hon. Lewis W. Hall, speaker of the
Senate, whose remarks were such as to con
vince Pennsylvania's renegade that he can
not rely on him for re-election. At the
conclusion of his remarks, Mr. Hayward
introduced Col. John W. Forney, who de
livered one of his accustomed speeches. His
remarks that Andrew Johnson said that
"treason was is crime, and that traitors
should die, yet not one traitor has died,
'whilst all over the South thousands of Union
men have died for their country," produced
a profohnd sensation. ‘Vhilst Col Forney
was speaking, the meeting was organized at
the main stand by Col. Wm. B. Tho.uas
being called to preside. His speech on
taking the chair showed that he does not
fear that arch traitor to principles and party,
who 11015 disgraces a position (MCC honored
by a LINCOLN. Gen. Fisher was then in
troduced, and while he was speaking Gen.
Geary came on the stand. Gen. Fisher
gave way to allow tho vs;t audience to-see
and-hens out 4 next -Governor.— - Whilst - Gen. -
Geary was speaking, tho tattered battle-flags
of the 70th and 03d regiment were brought
on the stand and placed on each side of him
amidst the utmost enthusiasm of tho thou
sands ,of "boys in blue" who had crowded
around the stand. Addresses wore delivered
by other distinguished gentlemen.
The meeting was a grand success and will
tell very sensibly cn the majority in Barks
county at the ensuing election. The lowest
estimate places the number who were there,
at 20,000. I have been credibly informed
that the. Reading R. R. sold over 15,000
tickets; and when wo consider the thousands
who came in wagons and carriages, on horse
and on foot, I think the estimate is not too
high. Reliable citizens of Reading state
that it was fully three times as largo as that
hold sometime ago by the admirers of John
son.and Clymer. In the evening speeches
were made by Rev. Mr. Meredith, Col. For
ney, Hon. Win. Pitman, Cspt. Tower and
others.
