ANDREW JOHNSON, in 1804, did his
'Best to defeat the Democratic party, in
the Presidential contest, and to throw
the Administration into the hands of the
Republicans. He accepted our nomina

clard.bearers_in„, the fight against the'
Democracy. Yet all this while ho was
treacherously conspiring against his own
camp. All this while his purpose was, as
soon as he got into office,to turn round up
on those *hose platform ho had accepted,
and - tfiieheme for 'the restoration of• the
party whose onemY he had pretended to
be. In the course of the Iniimachinent

Whether civil or military, he has act:pit

to the entire satisfaction-of the. country:
As commandT of a Pennsylvania
Bcgi
ment'of Volunteers during the - Mexican

As Mayor of the city- of San Francisco,
during its most troublous times; he was
noted for energy, activity and manly re

with the defenders of that Onion, But

As Pennsylvanians, we are- proud of
the name and fame of-Joirx W. GEARY.
Proud that he. is a native Of our State,
and that he is identified with its interests,

county;-after his•term, or terms, of ser
