here to add Tess you. You arc the Ifitii
cals. [Chia.] He comes here to declare
vvar against the Radicals. When the Pres
ident started upon his mission' to the tomb
of Douglas,owinr? e' the land from Wash
ington to Chicago deep with calumnies and
falsehoods, these Radicals were' believed to
be a few men; two .hundred and. odd men
in the Cong!res of the United States, and
it was to ,destroy these few men. that 'the
President started upon hie. mission.: . And
lo! they ha-a swollen into millions; the
1 ,
Radicals fir here and everywhere, an 4
wherever they speak, in majorities, where
per tbey iota, they vote with a vigor )
which prows that, having saved the COlll3 l
try from arched rebels, they are,determineil
to be its 4tasters. [Cheers.] Civil war
is declared by Montgomery Blair, because
we will not !consent that the "Boys in Btue"
in Pennsyliania who . fought for, and se
cured the:maintenance of the Republic,
shall have one vote lesS than the rebel trai
tor it South Carolina,' whO tried and failed
to destroy lit. We tire now threatened
with civicw'ar, because - we say the baffle.t
assassins oil American liberty cannot be
restored to full power, in the Congress of
the United, States. Weare threatened
with i lcivil !war because, we! will not say
amen to Atidrew Johnson's rePudiation of
his ten thus and pledges and promises;
t
because we will not consent to an Admin
istration policy, the effect of which will be
the complete overthrow of our financial
system, anO. the final destruction ofl the
Governme4 itself. We are threatened
with civil war, by the agent of Andrew
Johnson, because we will, not ' desert( the
candidate od i the Republican party in 'P
, nn-
Sylvania, ar d vote for the candidate f a
party whici sympathized throughout the
'rebellion w tai the enemies of the Re'mb
lie: This is the mission of the . man who
will,appear among you in a few days. I
refer to lUM with to special purpOse. I
have no Object in calling ymir attention to
.
hiiii; because so far as he is concernect he
is nothing to me: I select hiat simply as
'the interpreter of the. policy of Andrew
Johnson, president; of the United States.
There is nothing surer than that the cause
which he opposes and we sustain will tri
umph. [Cheers.] , .
Passing from the more 'important na
tional issues, let us • -come to- the considera
•tion• of the canvass in Pe,nnsylvania,.whipb,
k the more over-riding consequence of the
national question, we aft) too - apt to over='
look: The noniinee of the National Re
publican party, 'General Geary; hlis a' pee:i
lia:. history. [Cheers.'. - It erititlds bin) :
not simply to your cot:aien* but to your
enthesiastic stipport; His record ' is,' in
many respect% rnarvellons for so young a
man. , I have no doubt you have all read
it with the intefe.St it deserves. His op
ponent is, a fit embodiment of Andrew
Johnson's policy., . No, other man ' , could
hate, been so Well selected to typify at once
the, inconstancy and desperation of the op
pes,ino• party. You know that they are
now:;dresling themselves to the soldiers,
arnrare; trying - to induce the"p ople - to be
lie-sib:that they are the best fri nds of the
bravo men who saved the'Rept blic. It is
well 'to refer to the'thatiner in Abhich Heis:
ter:Clymer was nominated in' order to ex
pose--this iniserable•plen: • ..Tbe- Democratic.
C o nvention assembled at Harrisburg the
atiLio.L.Mreh. At that Lime, its now,there •
i l,
'Term ma: r soldiers.-hi ,Pennsylvania 710
elithiled t be' Deinocrats. Atl boat tjtne-,,
as now, it was kuoiva that, the Itepublical
Uniotiparty was looking to the seldiers for
the, Purpose,tifsecuring candidate . to carry
its banner to victory, yet in all tha deliber
ations of that convention the name Of no I
Union soldier was piesanted.' The only
condidates before that body were George
W. C#ss, of ,Westerni Pennsylvania n Hon.
Asa Tacker oftorth . d emptoti, entintyi•and
the sgeetleman,' Mr. * lymer, who. secured
the nothiratiori. They could have obtain
ed a - soldier donbileis, if. they. had tried,
but so resofVed were they to fight the bat
tle upon their owns anti-war, record, so de
termined were they to adhere to the poli
cy Of hostility to.the bratiepen who had
fought for the Union; that - they -deliber
ately selected'Heister Clymer as their can..
didate. Inflamed by the belief that An
drew Johnson's patronage would enable
them to secure the. vote of the people at
all hazards, they defied public Sentiment,
and placed this gentleman in nomination
as their . candidate. Now we have him
before the people of PennsylVania precisely
as Mr. Blair is before the people, advocat
ing the policy of AndrOni tfolinsori: Some
times when I look at Mr. Clyiner'S Canvass,
and at his appeals for the vote of the sol
dier, I am constrained to believe that there
are two' Heisler Clymer' in'the field, pre
cisely, as I am sometimes almost forced to
believe there ere tWo Andrew. Johnsons in'
the field; because the 'min who adircientes
Clymer's poaition to-day is not the same
man, Cr profesies mot to be the same man,
who opposed the soldiers and the war
during all:the rebellien, Precisely as An
dre* Johnson is a different man to=day to
what he was diiring the rebellion. If there
were, anything necessary to induce your
support of the Union Republican party,
the State'canvass itself shciuld be sufficient.
Here there is a candidate committed to
Andrew JohnsOn's policy and in opposition
to the war; with sustains, not only that poi-.
icy, but defiantly' and boldly opposes the
great national Republican party.
A theory has recently heed repeated
with such force as to have no doubt upon
my mind that it is the ,deliberate intention
of the Adthinistrntion upon the merest
pretext, should'you fail in discharging your
duty s•in tile -coming election, 'to ,carry it
into effect. I allude of course; to the
'chi eatened • organizatili of another Ccin
°Tess not of the 'United States, but of the
iStates recently-in rebellion,' and of the thp
resentativea'of the i•eirty North and West
who sympathize with those States. How
ever absurd it may have seemed when
hinted more thin a year - ago, it' has now
assumed a serious and alarming aspect.
' There can be no doubt that the President
of the United States, Andrew Johnsnii him
self, will,procced to carry, it into effect, un
less he should be restrained, either .by the
.desertion of.his fullower'eor of such an
outburst !of popular indign ' ation as will con
vince him that the people .who put down
the rebellion, the instant, Ps]] to
his own, punishment, ,and probably .'to his
immediate impeachment,r/or rather to such
meausths as will render impeachment un
necessary. Four idays ago the NeW York
Times, the immediate organ of I.V. Sorard
in New, York, announced that the Presi
dent, should the elections which are. soon
to take place gain a sufficient numbet of
members for, party, he would, on - the
organization ofLthe new or Fortieth
gross, recognize the representatives of.the
insurgent States and the representatives of
the Copperhead Democratic party id, the
free States, and thus constitute a House of
Representatives. This would Jender it
necessary to create a Senate, to revolittien
ize 'the body as it new stands, and simulate
Senathrs; because they*onld not pave the
pretext they would claim in the Houie:
They 'would bej compelled to fill certain
vacarieies by, the lelectiori of Sanatore with
out. Legislatures " nodstituencies:j The'
formal announcement of this purpose in
the New York Tinic . s gives a serious as
pect to the whole conspiracy, and•shows
that .the original plan; announced by An-
drew 'Johnion id his 22dof February speech,
has beep, steadily t kept in view; and Mr.
Montgomery Blair is the Mere pioneer of
the Movement to preplire you for precisely
such a u‘urpation, should you fail to re
elect ydut faithful members in the present
Congeess, or to elect such other true men
as have been ,chosen, in, the place of those
who have not been: re-neminated. NOV?
thts project may seem ,absurd in another
respect, wheel we contemplate the certain
bloody consequences that Must regult should
President Johnson be able to' command
the army'and nary 1., Ido not believe- he
will be able to do so. I have no fears thy
self that the illustrioue, General . Grant
[Cheers] will lend'hinaself to any stA.con
spiracy... All his character, all his sayings,`
his known ; hostility Cop - pea:cads, his
public declaration against the treachery or
rather the' indifference . of Leo to his
tioes since the Surrentler of the rebel armies'
his inune.date obligations-are all so many
assurances:that lie sVeuld revolt from"he
