"DEMOCRATIC" PLATFORM
The Democracy of Pennsylvania
Convention met, recognizing a crisis
the affairs of the Republic, and estee
ing the immediate restoration of Pe
Union paramount to all other issue-trio
resolve:
••., •
I. That the States, whereof the people
were lately in rebellion, are integral
parts of the Union and are entitled, to
representation in Congress by men duly
elected who bear true faith to the Con
stitution and laws, and in order tovindi
cate the maxim that taxation without
representation is tyranny, such repre
sentatives should be forthwith admitted.
2. That the faith of the Republic is
pledged to the payment of the National
debt, and Congress should pass all laws
necessary for that purpose.
3. That we owe obedience to the Con
stitution of the United States (including
the amendment prohibiting slavery),
and under its provisions will accord to
those emancipated all their rights ofper
son and property.
4. That each State has the exclusive
right to regulate the qualifications of its
own electors.
5. That the white race alone is enti
tled to the control of the Government of
the Republic, and we are unwilling , to
grant the negroes the right to vote.
6. That the bold enunciation of the
principles of the Constitution and the
policy of restoration contained in the
recent annual message and Freedmen's
Bureau veto message of President John
son entitled him to the confidence and
supported of all who respect the Consti
tution and love their country.
7. That the nation owes to the brave
men of our armies and navy- a debt of
lasting gratitude for their heroic servi
ces in defence of the Constitution and
the Union; and that while we cherish
with a tender affection the memories of
the fallen, we pledge to their - widows
and orphans the nation's care and pro
tection.
8. That we urge,upon Congress the du
ty of ,equalizing i the bounties of our
soldiers and sailors.
Address of Major General Geary,
The candidate of the Convention,
Major Gen. Geary, was introduced to
the Convention by the President of the
body. His appearance was greeted with
cheers. When quiet had been again
restored, the General spibke-as follows:
Mr. President, gentlemen of the Con
vention and fellow citizens,l meet you
under circumstances that fil my heart
with the deepest emotion and the pro
foundest awe, and I know of no lan
guage by which I can adequately ex
press to you the feelings which this
signal and most emphatic manifestation
of your favor and confidence has im
pressed me. And indeed I think I
would be wanting in the great , charac
teristics of our nature if I were notdeep
ly affected.
If a stranger had entered this city to
day, he would scarcely have failed to be
impressed by the enthusiasm and ear
nestness with which the deliberations
of this Convention have been character
ized. The enlivening strains of music,
the tumultuous cheers of the crowd, the
exultant roars of artillery, and the gen
eral enthusiasm which has everywhere
pervaded the people around us, may
well be taken as indicative of the gener
al endorsement which the people of the
State at large will accord to your action.
And among your own assemblage, as
well as in the streets Of thexity, you may
readily recognize many of the men who
have done battle for the country and
her institutions amid the curling smoke
of well contested fields. Under all these
circumstances, you, gentlemen of the
Convention, induced, no doubt, by con
siderations which you considered satis
factory, have chosen me as 'the stand
ard-bearer of the great Union National
Republican party in the coming contest
for Governor of Pennsylvania. [Great
applause]. And you have thus selected
me from among the many worthy,
honorable patriotic and intelligent gen
tlemen who were my competitors for
the nomination—gentlemen whose pa
triotism and intelligence no one can
doubt, I feel, therefore, that you have
imposed upon me a debt of gratitude
which long years—aye, a lifetime—
devoted to the public service and the
interest and honor of Pennsylvania can
never cancel. I have to ask, in all hu
mility, that I may be made fully sensi
ble of the great responsibilities which
devolve upon me, and that I may be
strengthened with sincere, determined
purposes to advance all the true princi
ples of humanity and the best interests
of the country in every worthy, honor
able and patriotic enterprise. Profound
ly sensible of, and graiteful for so distin
guished an evidence of your esteem and
confidence, with a firmand unwavering
determination to sustain the great prin
ciples of equal justice which underlie
our republican institutions, with a
hearty endorsement of the principles
embodied in the platform, I accept the
nomination. [Applause.] I accept it,
not in the belief that In my own person
I possess any intrinsic merit, or have
rendered any services to my country.
which entitled me to receive the nomi
nation, but I accept it as a matter due
to 2,50,000 soldiers of Pennsylvania, who
have done battle for their country and
have rendered services whose value can
never be estimated, and to whom we are
indebted for a home and a_country. On
their account, as one selected by them
to accept and receive this matter at your
hands, and viewing it as a compliment
to them, I thank you most heartily.
And I assure you, my fellow citizens
and gentlemen of the Convention, that
as far as I possess the ability, and with
the aid of the powerful and eloquent
Union men of Pennsylvania, the com
ing grand political battle shall be fairly
and honorably conducted to its legiti
mate termination and still grander vic
tory.
I beg leave to again return you, fellow
citizens and gentlemen of the Conven
tion, my unfeigned thanks for the honor
you have conferred upon me.
The following remarks on the Presi
dent's Veto are from The Nollol,k (Va.)
Pod, and seem to deserve awider circu
lation than they have yet attained :
"Since the morning of July 22, 1861,
when news of the great Southern victory
achieved by 13etiuregard over McDowell,
and the awful rout of the Federal Army
on the plains of Manassas, was borne
through the South on the wings of the
wind, as it were, carrying joy and jubi
lation into every Wye Southern house
hold; and gladdening every triseSouth-
em heart, there has been no news re
ceived with so much rejoicing by the
people of the South as that informing
them that the President had vetoed the
Freedmen's Bureau, bill. This is the
greatest victory they have achieved du
ring the war—greater than any feats of
arms of Stonewall Jackson, or of Robert
E. Lee, and has given them morepleas
ure than had Gen. Lee been elected
Governor of Virginia. They have found
an ally in President Johnson worth
more to them than theallianceofFra,nce
or England, and they now rejoice to see,
even as they saw foreshadowed at Ma
nassas, the final triumph of the great
Southern cause. The republicans have
been ignominiously defeated and driven
from the field, and nothing can save
them from total annihilation. All that
is necessary for the South to dO is to
continue to hold up the President's
hand.. and wage an unceasing and bit,
war against the Republican Con

A TEACHER
has become the head of the cor
ner; and Andrew Johnson is now en
shrined in every loyal Southern heart.
They will accept no terms from the
Radicals. They ask for none and ex
pect none. The fanatics may roar and
hiss, but their claws are out, and their
fangs are poisonless. The watchword
must henceforth be, "Johnson and Vic
tory !" and although the odds are as four
to one against them, did they not carry
on a four years of open war in the field
successfully, against still greater odds?
A fig for your Republican Congress!
We have a President with absolute
powers who can carry on Government
good enough for this section without the
assistance of Congress." , 1

FOR GOVERNOR
TIA,T. - GEN. JOHN W. GEARY,
11. lie are obliged to Hon. J. W. FOR
NEY,' Secretary Senate U. S., for valua-
Wei documents.
There are only two Union papers in
Pennsylvania which do not•stand firm
ly by, Congress on the question of re
construction.
Never mind Webster ; ignorance,
partizan malice, and unreasoning 'pas
sion have mouthed some of the finest
words in - the language until they have
come to mean nothing. At present
rates of perversion Webster's Unabrid
ged will become obsolete in the next
decade.'
As might be expected, we hear, and
read, most about radicalism from those
who least understand its meaning.
Show us a man who never had an intro
duction to principles, and we will show
you one of the most noisy decriers of
radicals and radicalism.
Just in this present month of March,
anno Domini, one thousand eight
.hun
dred and sixty-six, the popular mean
ing of the term " radical" may be sta
ted thus: one who advocLes negro suf
fMge, and opposes President Johnson's
policy of Reconstruction.
This is not our definition. It is the
definition which the term has taken on
by being manipulated by half-cock poli-'
ticiaus; by which we intend- to desig
nate such as misdoubt the wisdom and
justice of the Almighty, and believe in
no rewards save the spoils of office, and
in no punishments save deprivation of
the same.
Now, according to the new definition
of the term, we suppose that the author
of the following brief, but comprehen
sive, official letter, must be classed with
the radicals. Will those who have so
much to say about radicals be good
enough to read it; or, if they lack the
accomplishment, they can call upon
some " conservative" friend whose edu
cation has not been neglected:
ExEctrrrvz bis.sr mon.
WASIUNGTOIt D. C., August lb. 186 S. f
Gar. Wm. L. SHARKET, Jackson, Miss "
I am gratified to see that you have organized your
Convention without difficulty. I hope that without de.
lay your *Convention will amend your State Constitu
tion. abolishing Slavery, and denying to all future
Legislatures the power to legislate that there is proper
ty in man; also that they will adopt the Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States abolishing
Slavery. If you could extend the elective franchise to
all persons of color who can read the Constitution of the
United States in English, and write their names, and to
all persons of color who own real estate valued at no , r,
less than szo, and pay taxes thereon, you would com
pletely disarm the adversary, and set an example the
other States will follow. This yen can do with perfect
safety, and you thus place the Southern States, in ref
erence to free persons of color; upon the same basis with
the Free States. I hope and trust your convention will
do this, and as a consequence the radicals, who are wild
upon Negro Franchise, will be completely foiled in their
attempts to keep the Southern States from renewing
their relations to the Union, by not accepting their
Senators and Representatives.
ANDREW JOHNSON, President United States.
That is slightly more " radical" than
we pretend to be ; for we do not believe
in, or advocate a property qualification
for voters. "We do go in for intelligent
voting, and so endorse so far, President
Johnson's policy of reconstruction.
But the best part of the stogy is, that
the Cop perhead State Convention en
dorses the President's policy etf recon
struction. It therefore endorses the ex
tension of the elective franchise " to all
persons of color who can read the Con
stitution of the United States in
English," and " to all persons of color
who own real estate valued at not less
than $250 and pay taxes thereon."
For this reason : President Johnson
declares that his policy must be learned
from his utterances since he came into
the Presidency. The foiegoing letter to
Provisional Governor Sharkey-is one of
his utterances, and has the advantage
of being official.
( Now whOare the radicals? Be good
though to meet the question without
the usual artful dodges.
Not long ago, to be an " abolitionist"
was little less than infamy. If you will
read the platform of the Copperhead
State Convention held on the sth last.,
and which nominated Hiester Clymer,
you Will see that
,that Convention en
dorsed the abolition of Slavery, and
thus completely abolitionized the par
ty.
That wai. well done, gentle men.
Come up sal higher. Less than a year
VTELLSBORO, PENN'A
OE CUMBERLAND COUNTY
WHAT 18 RADICALISM P
ago every legislature of which you held
control rejected that amendment as un
constitutional. You have fought freed
om inch by inch, and now, when wors
ted, come in and fling up your hats. You
now kick at suffrage based on intelli
gence, without regard to color. Presi
dent Johnson recommends that sort of
suffrage as part of his policy of recon
struction. You will have to come to it
y and by, and then what will beeome
of radicalism?
We believe it is now time to define
the crime of treason. We shall never
consent to the enfranchisement of lead
ing traitors. We go still further, and
say that we want to hear the bones of
treason crunching between the jaws of
Justice. We hope that:is Plain. Is it
radical ? Then we are radical. Let us
know now, whether a few ambitious,
discontented politicians can upset soci
ety witkimpunity. Let us know it now.
If treason be a crime of greater magni
tude than robbing' a hen-roost, let us
know it. If it be a mere venial sin, let
us know that.
President Johnson says that traitors
must take back seats in the work of
restoration. We endorse that senti
ment. Inquirers should be kept on the
" anxious seat" until conversiontakes
place of conviction.
The 'Fenian Scare' promises to stand
second among the-great Scares of all
time. Our Canadian neighbors are un
der arm to repel invasion,-the story
being that 10,000 Fenians seized Navy
Island on the Bth. Not less than 30,000
militia are said to have been called out
by the Canadian authorities.
Great Britian is now in a position to
reflect upon he i r, connivance with trait
ors to overthrow this republic. Her
press and Statesmen proclaimed that
civil liberty was dead in America when
the President suspended the privilege
of the writ of habeas corpus. England
has suspended' the, writ in Ireland al
ready, when no war exists. Where
is civil liberty in Britain?
We have an idea that Britain has
reasons to be afraid. Her conscience
must be east-iron not to trouble her
occasionally.
Go in, Fenians!
NEW . HAMPSHIRE SPEW!
5,500 Republican Majority!
New Hampshire is as firmly anchor
ed in the i - Right as her granite hills.
She has just elected a Republican Gov
ernor by a larger majority than Mr.
Lincoln got in '64, and a legislature and
council overwhelmingly Republican.
This victory is peculiarly significant.
It comes on the heels of the dissension
between radical and conservative Red.
publicans, t so called ; and the difference
between Congress and the President on
the question of reconstruction. The
Copperheads quoted the President ex
tensively; but the people were not de
ceived. That is not the winning card
this year. The Republican party is not
going to pieces, gentlemen. Does it
look like it in New Hampshire?
We most heartily congratulate the
country upon the passage of the House
concurrent resolution, providing that
representatives from late revolted Stales
shall not be admitted to seats in either
Senate or House until Congress authori
tatively shall provide for their admis
sion. This makes both houses a unit
on the question of reconstruction, and
thus relieves the anxieties of loyal thous
ands. '
This removes the whole subject from
the late field of dispute, and lodges it
where President Johnson, in his an
nual Message, declared it to belong
with Congress. The Constitution ex
pressly declares that Congress shall be
sole judge in the matter of who shall,
and who shall not have seats in that
body. -
There will still remain a difference of
opinion relative. to the probation of the
rebel States. The people who have
fought the battle of freedom, and those
who have suffered most by, treason,
will not agree to the admission of any
of the revolted States until they give
better evidence of loyalty and return
ing reason than they have yet exhibi
ted. The Committee on Reconstruction
has reported a resolution in favor of ad
mitting Tennessee with certain condi
tions attached. Upon this a bill for her
admission will doubtless be introduced
and passed. It will then be for the
President to approve, or veto, the bill,
as he may judge proper.
We look upon the concurrent resolu
tion alluded to in the outset of this arti
cle, as most, wise and judicious. It is
in the nature of a law to both Houses
of Congress, and has no wider operation.
But it shows the determination of Con
gress to stand by the people,- in this
great crisis of the country's fate.
What's the matter now? The follow
ing despatch from Washington would
seem to argue that the President does
not feel very much flattered by the
endorsement of the late Copperhead
Convention of this State. Read it :
"It will be remembered that the late
Copperhead Convention of Pennsyva
nia, after nominating Mr. Clymer for
Governor, passed tiresolution indorsing
the President's policy. A sub-commit
tee was appointed to come on here and
present the resolution in person. This
grateful mission was essayed a few eve
nings since. The committee were ad
mitted to an audience with the Presi
dent, and were proceeding, after the
most approved fashion, to assure him
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania had
designed no empty compliment; that
they had watched his recent action with
no ordinary gratification ; and that they
should stand by him and his Adthinis
tration so long as he so nobly adhered
to the sacred Constitution. Before the
peroration was reached, the President
broke in upon them withthe suggestion
that "the wisest thing they could do was
to go home and change their ticket."
He believed that they had made a fatal
mistake in nominating such a man,
especially at this particular time, with
much other remarks of a similarly en
couraging character. The last seen of
the Pennsylvania Committeemen they
were making for the Baltimore depot,
minda fearfully demoralized frame of
."
President Johnson says that there can
be no harm in drawing the Copper
heads on to the support of his adminis
tration until they - go so far that they
cannot get back. it looks as-though
they had already gone beyond retrac
tion. They begin to - complain that he
takes too much counsel of Republicans
already..
Requesting Senator Cowan to resign
was u mere matter of formality. Nobody
who knows him expects him to doany
thing so sensible. And then, what
would the Senate do without somebody
to clear the galleries occasional)",?
Mr. - Hiester Clymer has a most de
lightful record. We agree with Sena
tor Lowrey, of Erie, thdt it would have
been better for Mr. Clymer had he spo
ken Dutch for the last four years. In a
recent debate in the State Senate, Mr.
Lowrey reproduced the following pleas
ant extract from Clymer's speech on the
question of permitting Andrew John
son and Gov. Wright to address the
people of Harrisburg in the Senate
Chamber. Here it is
" What is the question presented ? It
is a proposition to invite Andrew John
son, the so-called Governor of Tennessee,
to address the people of Pennsylvania
from the Senate chamber of this State.
I have various reasons for opposing this
proposition. -In the first place, I here
boldly proclaim that he is not at this
hour; and never has been by the Con
stitution or under the laws, the Govern
or of the State of Tennessee, except
when years ago he was elected to that
office by the, people. I say, sir, that his
appointment by the President of the
United States to that position, was a
unsnrpation of power on the part of the
President, and that there is no warrant
'under the Constitution, no authority in
the laws for his appointment. And
that very act which he has assumed to
perform by virtue of his unconstitution
al and illegal appointment, has been
in derogation of the rights of a sover
eign State and In flat violation of the
Constitution of the United States. I
say, sir, furthermore, that no such pos
ition as military Governor of a State is
known to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States ; that there is nothing in that
instrument which authorizes the Presi
dent of the United States to appoint a
military -Governor of any State, and
that to make such an appointment was
to create the State of Tennessee a mili
tary province, and that his appointment
was made to carry out and subserve the
purposes of the present Administration,
which is to reduce all the States of this
Union to the condition of -mere depen
dencies of a consolidated oligarchy or
despotism. That is my position,_ so far
as concerns this pretended Governor of
Tennessee. Andrew Johnson has not
been for years, and is not now the Gov
ernor of that State; and I will not rec
ognize him as such by voting for this
resolution.
But, sir, without regard to any ques
tion of his officialposition, take Andrew
Johnson asan individual, assuming that
he is rightfully clothed with the robes
of office, and may constitutionally exer
cise the duties of that high position ;
even then I say to you, Mr. Speaker, that
I never, by my vote, will allow a man
to come into these halls, and from this
place speak to the people of this great
State in support of what I know to be
illegal, unconstitutional and tyrannical
acts of the Federal Government. I
know, sir, that AndreW' Johnson has
gone as far as the farthest, and is ready
to go still farther, to destroy, to uproot,
to upturn every principle upon which
this great and good Government of ours
was founded. I know that he has bent
with suppliant knee before the throne
of power. I know that, for pelf or some
other copsideration, he has succumbed
to every measure presented to him for
approval or disapproval; and I know
that in speeches delivered in the capi
tals of other States, he has enunciated
doctrines which, if adopted by tho peo
ple of theyreat North, would be subver
sive of individual freedom and personal
right. Sir, by no vote of mine can any
person holding such views address the
people of Pennsylvania in this chamber.
Never, sir, never so long as I have a
right to forbid him."
Yet Mr. Clymer occupies a platform
which gives a quasi endorsement of
President Johnson's policy of recon
struction. How can he forget that An
drew Johnson, aS.Goverior of Tennes
see, " went as far as the farthest' to up
root free institutions?

Pennsylvania Legislature.
Out of the entire mass of legislative
proceedings, spreading over about 200
pages quarto, we are enabled to single
out the following items of local inter
est:
The passage of an act to increase the
fees of constables and justices in Tioga
and Potter counties.
One to authorize the appointment of
four additional notaries public in Tioga
county,
One authorizing the supervisors of
Charleston to pay bounty bonds.
One authorizing an increase of tax to
pay bounty bonds in Jackson.
A bill to exempt from payment of
taxes for bounty purposes, all persons
who were mustered into the military
service of the United States and receiv
ed honorable discharge therefrom, was
introduced into the Senate.
The Governor has vetoed the Phila
delphia & Erie R. R. bill, of which we
made mention last week. That was a
righteous deed, Governor. A new bill
has already been introduced, but as it
is not printed we cannot speak of its
merits.
But one public measure has passed
during the entire session of two months.
The Legislature ought to adjourn.
