a he of her own • 3.n . d . the - tales of
horror sq freely ClF4ufated, to the beril
derment df the poor neighbors, ended
in the- simple story' of a young girl
walhint in her sleep.
A CharaCterictio Sitbech from Governor
ES rownlow.-
Gov. BroWnlow has been at his home
in Zuotville for some days, recruiting
his shattered health. At the invitation
of the German .Union League of.that
city - , he addressed a large assemblage of
hp fellow gi. kzens,
He prefaced his remarks by asking
their indulgence, as he was feeble, but
promised them to be brief „and to the
point. He said that parties, were again
at wor.k,,Seelting,an ascendancy in the
Goveriantent, ,The Democratic party,
under, a new guise and new leaders, was
again asking countenance from thepeo
ple. The flying On Sumter was a Dem
ocratic measure. The Southern States
were till Democratic when-they went
into the rebellion. The revenue stamps
yoti are now taxed with are Democratic,
and so are shinplasters.
I,attiOtince to you that if Andy John
son *to :lead the way in reconstruction,,
with-the Democratic party at his baCk,
I B'c :the other way. Igo with the Con
gress of the United States, the so-called
radicals. Ido not fear to side with
them. -The name of radical has no ter
rors for me. I have been known as a
"damned blue-light Whig" and "damn-,
ed lipaatic," and I think it cheap if they
wet4d now letMe Tiff by, calling me a
" dned radical."
There are " two human monsters"
now engaging , the attention Of the
American people. Their uarnesiqe on
every man's lips. I refer to Sumner
and Stevens. President Johnson i en
gaged in a bitter, warfare against them.
To abuse these men is the test of the
loyalty Mr. Johnson prescribes. They
are both men - cif ability and unlifeini.4l-
edprivate character, Stevens has sac
rificed more for the Union than any five
men in East Tennessee; and is a better
man than any two men who ever lived
in the-South. I am not afraid to endorse
these men on thy own "duit-hill."---
Vire must all be radicals or reconstructed
Demecrats. I prefer to side with the
former class.
On the ne.gro suffrage question I haVe
only to say that, for the present, I am
willing to, be content with the freedom
of the. slaves, and with the privilege
given them to testify in the courts. I
differ from President Johnson on this
subject. He says he is in favOr, of al
lowing negroes - to vote who can read,
who are north $250, who have been in
the.army ; and of gradually extending
the right of suffrage to all. It was thro'
his influence that we succeeded in pass
ing the Negro Testimony bill through
our Itrinessee Legislature. He wrote
letters, and sent telegram s, ing mem
bers to support the bill. It was through
his help the bill became a law. He went
further than I ever did. I want them
to be'qualified first; it will come in time.
They voted in Tennessee prior to 1832.
I . have some secrets to tell of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill. I think the
bill was objectionable, and it might have
been proper for me to veto it, but Presi
dent Johnson ought not to have done it.
Generals Howard and Fiske drew up
that bill. They carried it to the Presi
dent and read it to him, section by sec
tion. He favored it. G en. Fiske thought
the expense would be too great, but the
President said " no." He urged it, and
promised to sign it if Congress should
pass it. It - went through both Houses.
In the meantime he got into a personal
quarrel with Sumner and others, and
when the bill came before him for his
signature he vetoed it, after havingijro
13:Used to favor it. This is a secret, put
true.
I am in favor of the test oath, and
don't :want it repealed—and it won't be,
thank Clod! There are crippled rebels
in 'Washington who' want to govern
this country, and I am opposed to let
ting thein in. They wouldn't help gov
ern the , country. President Johnson
can't, carry a single State north of Ma
son's line but Kentucky, and I wish he
would carry that State to " hell!"
They have forty papers in Ten
nessee, and but seven of them are loyal.
The thirty-three are bitter, artful, rebel
sheets,
,many of them edited by North
ern Copperhead S—the meanest class -of
men that walk on earth. They are
meaner than Judas .Iscarriot. Arnold
and Burr were patriots compared to
them.
Our State Legislature is at a lock-21
meinbers bolted. They all endorse
President Johnson. They have left 200
lunatics and 300 col - lizilts to starve. I
have provided' montia feed them if
the nett Legislature refuses to - refund
the money, I will turn. the crazy and the
convicted loose on Middle Tennessee.—
It will be the best physicthey - ever had.
- The Governor closed' by warning all
his old friends - to stand by the Govern
ment. He predicted that the South
would attempt another revolution thro'
the ballot box. If they did, he said, the
Northern hordes would grind them to
powder.
iliester Clymer
The--New York Tribune gives Hon.
Mester...Clymer, the democratic candi
date for Governor, the following 'first
rate puff:
We do not often find a chau ce to praise
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania,
but we peter leave one unimproved ;
and we are now enabled to gratifY our
natural inclination- with , a good con
science. Their nomination of Hiester
Clymer for Governor is one that it was
eminently fit that they should make.
For, in the first place he is a good citi
zen, of very fair abilities, and reputable
character. Next, he • lives in Berks
County, which has generally given
large Democratic majorities, and has
repeatedly tried to have aGovernor, but
has not succeeded; and it is but just to
giVelek. another chance. Then he was
a Whig of other days '
-.and it Is but fair
that theparty which has furnished to
the present Democracy of Pennsylvania
so large a share of its brains- should oc
casionally have the post of honor; and
it shows a proper liberality in the 'birth
right members" to accord it. But, last
ly, and mainly, Mr. Clymer was an
onroitigated, unqualified Copperhead
throughout the War, and did not pre
tend to be anything else. He supported
the decision orthe Democratic majority
of the-Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
which prodounoed null and void the
act otCongress providing "for the en
rollment (-Ailing out the
had
for
ces"—a decision which, had it not been
overruled, would_have laid the republic
prostrate at the feet of the Rebellion,
and effected the dissolution of the -Union.
We do not know that - he ever affected
to desire the triumph of the National
arms--we do know that his public acts
and utterances tended to secure the suc
cess of the Rebels. Mr. Clymer was in
all things in perfect accord with .nine
tenths of his party, is their proper rep
resentative, and will poll their full vote.
There is no cheat in his nomination,
rrhichmak.es a Nuare, clear issue, if
he gets beaten, it will because the pee
pie are not of his school, but believe in
upholding the Union.
Elusrmi. CLYMER, in the Senate, and
his own Berks county, at the polls; voted
to deprive the soldier of the right to
vote. HOw, then, can any soldier vo
for him ?

FOR GOVERNOR
- GEN. JOHN W. iagARV,
OF CumBEBLAND COUNT,T.
We are glad to anounee thatthe Civil
Rights Bill was passed over Ire - si.-:

by a Viite of 33 to 15;
The Presideneliiis issue hprocla - ruation declaring the 'war,of the iebell

THE LESSON OE THE HO-011
It is 7 4ldelity.2 it is steady:perseve
rance in the right. It is a vigilance
which never - sleeps.
year ago we were in 'the midst of
- great wanforithe preservation:of nation-.
al landmarks-and national ilife. - Look.
,back: How full of anxieties `were our
day!i; and nights; `sus
pense and hope deferred ,were we all
who desired the downfall of treason.
Some of us hoped against , hope. All
were. 'more or less plagued with doubts
for none could see the end. - "We had
'learned not to hope for a Igo sudden eud
ing of the war which .had grown into
colossal proportions. -Bo we all became
cautious. I
Truly, those, and nearly. a thousand
days ;preceding, were days of gldom.—
The nation was in great peril; the high
wayman in front, and the sneakhig as
sassin behind; seeking to stab to death.
Yes ; those were days fit* doubt and
peril to this nation- But we gravely
question, if at any period during the
four years of war, the nation stood in
such fearful perils as it does
Sit down and survey the field, without
excitement, with an -over-ruling desire
for a clear understanding of the situa
tion.
For four years treason stalked the
land—open, armed, anddefiant. It was
a black presence. its baleful shadow
fell eveiy w here. Bat . at last, after the
streams of the South ran blood, and the
verdure -of her fields was tramped out
by contending armies, the hideous mon
ster was put down, its armed hosts dis
banded, and the smoke of battle cleared
from the skies.
Then should have come peace. Did
it come? The wise and thoughtful do
not so name the pause which lies' be
tween this . : day 'and the surrender of the
last arm} of rebellion.
For, if we have not armed and defiant
treason menacing us as before, we have
its shadow, its other "I"—PERFIDY.
And we have not at the helm of af
fairs, a man whose purity of motive and
blanaaeeness of life constrain"all na
dons ;to rise up and call him blessed.
ABRAHAM LiNcoLisr pledged himself
to stand by the people in their struggle
against treason. And he stood by them,
as they stood bYhim. He declared that
war should be waged until armed trea
son should yield up its hated life,. and
the sovereignty of the General Govern
ment should be established over the
whole land. He lived fo verify that dec
laration.
For, on the 14th of April, 1805, the
power ofthe Governmcht, his more fully
acknowledged in the } South 'than it is
this 11th day of Apri n t . , 1866, notwith
standing the proclamation of 'peace and:
amity. =,,
We have entered'upon an'era of great
danger to the republic. Instabilit;
falsehood, unreliability, caprice—these
are the new names of-old dangers.—
menace is as fraught with wrath
as any uttered by armed treason.
..Do not be deceived, nor yet alarmed.
A danger seen ought to be a danger for
tified-against. It may, or may not be
so, as the people elect.
- Choose now. Vigilan - ce, staunch ad
herence to principle, .fixtunes:s, and de
termination to reap the‘fruits of signal
victory, Will avert the danger_ On the
otter "land, TaCillation, half-way mea
sures, and confidence , based‘npiin the
optimism' of laziness, will lead us into
ways out of which there is no issue save
in struggle.'
The people must dare to do right.—
They must insist upon universal juigtiee,
since they have declared , for. universal
freedoth. Befoke the law, oilmen must
be declared au protected as equals. '
cl
Have we mitt sinned and suffered?—
Have we not been 'scourged with judg
ments? Shall we recognize God in
these things, or retreat into blank Athe
ism, and ascribe it all to Chance?
• As certainly as we deny justice to the
weak, so certainly shall we be visited
with,trials to which those just endured
will seem light. There is no escape
from the penalty of wrong-doing. If
we fall into old habits ,of sin, there; can
be no reprieve ; for we all -know right
from wrong,_ now, if we did not before
know it.
'Therefore let us lay aside all doubt and
hesitation, and aet up to our highest'
ideas of right. Above all, let all men,
who wish the well, beware of
trusting to.this deceitful calm.
If the election in Connecticut , could
be held over to-day; the Republicans
would sweep the State by 5,000 majori
ty.. In evidence of this, we cite the fact
that in Middletown, which was entitled
to two Representatives, but only elected
one at the State election, an election for
ano th er was held last Thursday. The
result was the election of a Republican
by 74 majority. English received twen
ty-five more votes than Hawley only the
Monday before.

'enough to warn the President 'that -no-,

we do less than roll up our old-fashioned
majority for *Gen.. Geary,?•
A few weeks ago we charged the
ton Democrat with having published
near a. column of "p uerile abuse" of
Gen. Geary, in whic4 tie was alluded to
as a " coward and askiilker." • That pa
per denies the 'charge, in the clasSical
style which has so , long distinguished
and illumed its turgid columns. That
there may, be no misunderstanding
about the matter, we re-produce the =very
language used by that paper, and. to
which we alluded :
" At the storming of Chepultepec he
was struck in the beginning of the bat
tle by a spent ball, which knocked him
into a ditch. Shortly after the firing
ceased he.. recovered and again joined
his regiment."
The italics are ours. If that language
does not' sustain our charge, then the
editor, as usual, meant to say uothing,- 1
and succeeded, as he always does, admi
rably.
"'JESTER CLYMER has resigned his
seat in the State Senate. He did it to
escape action tipon: certain legislation
which he dared not vote for, or `against.
His fears were groundless. •it not any
record he can make , which can damn
him, but the record he has' made. -
His resignation comes.too late. Had
he crept into some hole in 1861, and
slept there until this year of grace, ,he
might have come within 50,000 votes of
an election. As it is, he stands no more
chance of being eleeted Governor than
he does of convincing the world that he
has a drop of patriot blood in his veins.
We see it stated that the President has
placed the patronage of his Administra
tion in Permsylvani,.in the hands_ of
Senator Cowan. If the President has
any dirty' work to do in Pennsylvania,
hecould hot employ 'an abler or fitter
tool than Mr. Cowan. •The Senator has
the happy gift of givinghis right hand
in friendship and stabbing his deluded
vietith with the other.
We have several Coppery 'exchanges.
The last numbers received were thelast
before the Connecticut election. Each
declared, with vehemence, that the issue
was fair and square between Congress
and President _Johnson. They declared
that the President had expressed an open
preferenth for the election of English,
Copperhead, over Hawley, the gallant
soldier.
Now, we have not seen one, of these
papers since the:Waterloo in Connecti
cut; -and tholigh we,have not - much =t
hey, to bet, we will wafer a hat that ev`- .
ery one of them will deny that the issue
was squarely put in Connecticut. Pro
ceed to wriggle, gentlemen. 'You are
fairly,flogged on your own ground:
If English, who, was the most* unob
jectionable man in the Copperhead
ranks in Connecticut, could not be elect
ed ivith all President Johnson's influ
ence and patronage thrown, in his favor,
what chance is there 'for Clymer, the
most objectionable to loyal men, espe
cially to the union soldiers, of any man
in his party. in this Commonwealth?
If Jefferson Davis, "Beauiregard and
Benjamin could vote in Pennsylvania
this coming f4II, would they vote for
Clymer or. Geary
• Who doubts that they would vote for
HeisterClymer, who voted for, and act
ed 'in, their interests; all through the
war ? Nobody, we guess.
The detailed returns of the Connecti
cut election show that the entire gain
in. the Copperhead vote - was in thelarge
planes. This ought to teach the public
that the truest patriots are found away
from the influences of corrupt cities.—
It is the rural counties which save the-
State of New York, every year, from the
disgrace of a' Copperhead - victory. - So
in Connecticut. Through naturaliza
tion, and great frauds, the rebel sympa
thizers largely increased their-rote Over

the most signal victory of the season.

Meantime, we give pl &ee to the follow
- ;
ing declaration of Senator. Trumbull,
which autlicierirelj: rtroves that the-veto
of the bill waa frOm caprice and . 'not
from principle. Read it:
, "Feeling the importance of harmos•
nious action between the different• de
partments of' the Government, and an
'anxious desire to sustain the President,
for whom I had always entertained the
highest respect, I had frequent inter
views with him during the early part of
the session. Without ineu tinning any
`thing said by him, I niay with perfect
safety, state that, acting from the con
sideratiOus I have stated, and believing
that the passage of a law by Congress
stet ing equality in civil rights `when
_denied by State authorities to freedmen
and all other inhabitant's of the United
States, would do much to reilieve anxiety
in the North, and induce the Southern
States to seem's. :these , ights
_by their s
own action ami Hier s reinove many
of the obstacles to an e y. Tecoostrucs
L i
VII, I prepared the bill substantially
as it is now returned with the Presi
dent's objections. _ - -.-
, "After the bill was introduced and
printed a copy was furnished him, and
at a subsequent period,, when it was
reported that he was hesitating about,
signing the freedmen's bureau bill, he
was intornsecl of the condition of-. the
civil, rights bill, then pending in the
House, and a hope expressed that if be.
had objections to any of its provision's
he would make them known to its
friends, that they might be remedied,
,if not destructive of ,the measure ; that
. there was believed td 16 no disposition
on the part of Congress, and certainly
none on my part, to have bill preSented
to him which he could not approve.—
He never indicated to me, nor, so far as
I know, to any of its friends, the least
objection to
-any of the provisions of the
bill till after its passage. And how
could he, consistently -with himself?—
The bill was framed, as was supposed,
iaentire harmony with his views, and
certainly in _ harmony , with what he
was they:Land has since been doing in
protectingfreedineti in their civil rights
all through the rebelious States."
Of the President's objection to the
bill- that -it affected the interests of
elftven unrepresented States, Mr:
Trumbull says, with great force : '
"It is a general objection that' he
makes applicable alike to all bills; but,
if there is anything in it, no bill can
pass the Congress of the United States
until.these States are represented. Well,
sir, whose fault is it that eleven States
are not represented ? Whose fault is 'it
that twenty-five loyal States, which
have stood by the Union and Constitus
lion, are to be deprived of their right
to legislate? Sir it is not the fault of
the twenty-five loyal States ; and, if
the reason urged by the President is a
good one now, it has been a good one all'
tile ;time. If , the fact of some States
having rebelled against the Gdvern
ment is to take from the Government
the rightto legislate, why, sir, then the
criminal is to take advantage of his
crime, and the innocent are to be pun-,
ished for the guilty.
- "Within a few days the President has
issued ,a proclamation, not of • peace,ai
the Senator from Nevada [Mr. Stewart)
seems to suppose, by no means; not a
proclamation thatithe rebellion is over,
but that in certain 81.4:des it is over.—
The President doe S -not tell us that Tex-
as, one of the States that were in rebel
lion, la in a condition to be represented
here. Sir, if we had to wait for the
eleven States must we not wait for Tex
as? The same principle would require
us.. to wait for Texas, and she has not yet
recognized her State government; and
the!' States which have recognized
have not yet been recognized as having
a republican form of government, en
titling them to representation. The re
presentives thess have chosen from most
of these States that have undertaken to
recognize were persons fresh from !the
rebel Congress and from the rebel' ar
mies; men who eouldnot be admitted
here, could not take "the . reqUisite oath
to entitle them to their seats. And are
we to wait and abstain from all legisla
tion of -a general character? Are the
loyal people of this - country to be - com
pelled to wait for necessary legislation
until these States 'shall be admitted to
representation here, when they refuse
to, send men here, except those whose
hands are dripping with the blood of
loyal men? Are the Vice President of
the rebel Confederacy and his colleague,
one of the Senators of the rebel Con
gress, to come here to legislate for the
loyal people of this country? Are the
men who organized the government
that carried on a four years' war, as the
xesult of which this nation has had to
spend more than four thousand millions
of, dollars, and as a consequence of
which morethiin a quartsrola million
of men, patriotic heroes, have laid down '
their lives upon the battle field and in
the army hospitals—are these men to
come here to legislate for the loyal peo
ple of this country ?" -
. But the most humiliating point made
against the President, will be found in
the folloWing extract from Andrew
; Johnson's own speech in the Senate, on
:the message of James Buchanan veto
ing the Homestead bill, and reproduced
by Mr. Trumbull.' If any man can
read it, and then apologize for the veto
of the Civil Cights bill, or the Freed
men's bill, we •do not envy him. 'Here
is the language of Andrew Johnson on
the veto message of Mr. Buchanan :
" The President of the United States
presumes—yes, sir, I say presumes—to
`dictate to the American people and to
the two Houses of Congress, in violation
of the spirit if not the letter of the Con
stitution, that this measure shall not
become a law. Why do I say this? I
ask, is there any difference in the spirit
of the Constitution whether a measure
is sanctioned by a two-thirds vote before
its passage or afterwards? When a mea
sure has been vetoed by the President,
the Constitution requires that it shall be
reconsidered and passed by a tWo-thirds
vote in order to become a law.; but here,
in the teeth of the Executive, there was
stwo-thirds vote in favor of this bill.—
The vote was 36 to 2in this body. The
two Houses have said that this measure
is constitutional and right. In the other
House, reflecting the popular sentiment
of the nation, the vote was 112 to 51—
ten more than the two-thirds majority
which the Constitution require. And
when there is a two-thirds tote for a
measure, I say it is against the spirit of
the•Constitusion for the Executive to
say; `NO'l yob. shall not havethis meas
ure ; I will take all the chances pf Vete
ing it. , "
