;Mester Lyme:.
As bk.- Clymer 'is the Copperhead
candidate for GOVernor, it will be well
to look at his record while he was in
the Senate of this State during the Re
bellion. Soldiers, Union men, honest
Democrats, read and judge for your
selves :
We quote from the Legislative Record
of 1864, page 23, as follows :
Mr. Graham offered the following
resolution :
Resolved, That the Senate of Penn
sylvania urge upon the Congress of the
'United States the propriety of increas
hag the pay of officers and privates of
the army and navy, the officers twenty
five and privates one,hundred per cent.
On the question, will the Senate pro
ceed to a second reading of the reso
lution?
The yeas and nays were required by
Mr. Kinsey and Mr. Donovan, and
were as follows, viz :
YEAs—Messrs. Charnpneys, Connell,
Thinlap, Fleming, Graham, .Hoge,
Householder, Johnson, Lowry, M'Ciuid
less, Nichols, Ridgway, Turrell, Wll
- Worthington, and Penney, Speaker
—l6.
NA7s--Ifesers. Beardslee, Bucher,
CLIEMER, Donovan,Gratz Hopkins,
Kinsey, Lambertson Latta,: M'Sherry,
Montgomery, ; Kelly, Smith, Stark,
Stein, and Wallace-16.
On the 9th of April, 1863, a bill was
introduced in the Senate allowing
Pennsylvanians in the naval service
the right of suffrage. • This bill was
strenously opposed by the Copperheads
in that,body in which opposition Sena
tor Clymer took a conspicuous part, and
a test vote had with the following re
sult:
Yr:As—Messrs. Boughter,Bound,
Connell, Graham, Hamilton, Kiestand,
Johnson Lowry, McCandless, Penny,
Robison, Stutzman, Turrell, White,
Wilson and Lawrence Speaker-16.
NAYS—Messrs. Bucher, CLYMER,
Donovan, Glatz, Kinsey, Lambertson,
M'Sherry, Mott, Reilly, Stein and Wal
lace—U.
The following proceedings, had on the
Bth day of January, 1864, in the Senate
of Pennsylvania, we copy from page six
of the Legislative Record, of 1864,, as
follows :
GEN. U. S. GRANT AND OTHERS.
Mr. Lowry offered the following reso
lution : •
the Senate. That the
xtesolved by
thanks of the loyal people of Pennsyl
vania are due, and are hereby tendered
to Gen. U. S. Grant, and the officersand
soldiers serving under him, for the se
ries of gallant services and glorious
victories resulting in -the liberation of
the faithful Union people of East Ten
nessee from a military despotism more
galling than ever was that of Great Bri
tain.
On the questn, " Will the Senate
proceed to the sMMd reading of the res
olution?" the - yeas and nays were as fol
lowt :
YE .s—Messrs. Champneys, Connell,
Dunlap,Fleming,Graham,Hoge, House
holder, Johnson, Lowry, McCandless,
Nichols, Ridgway, Turrell, Wilson,
Worthington, and Penney, Speaker
-18.
NAvs—Messrs. Beardslee, Bucher, I
CLYMER; Donovan, Glatz, Hopkins,
Kinsey, Lamberton, Latta, M'Sherry,
Montgomery, Kegley, Smith, Stark,
Stein and Wallace-Hl6.
So the question was determined in the
negative.
Here stands the vote of every Demo
cratic Senator recorded against a vote: of
thanks to the gallant Gen. Grant, who
brought the war to a successful close.
On Friday, the 4th day of March, 1864, •
the following joint resolution was taken
up for consideration, (See page 295 of
the Legislative Record, session of 1864,)
viz:
Joint resolution asking Congress to
pass a law increasing the pay of private
soldiers and non-commissioned officers
in the army, came before the Senate on
the third reading, and was read as fol
lows :
Resolved, by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania in General Assembly
met, and it is hereby enacted by the au
thority of the same, That our Repre
sentatives in Congreth be requested to
vote for, and use their influence for the
passage of a law increasing the pay of
private soldiers and non-commissioned
officers in the army of the United States.
On the final passage of the bill, the
yeas and nays were as follows : •
YEAS—Messrs. Champneys, Connell,
Dunlap,Flemin g,Grab am ,Hoge,House
holder, Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, Mc-
Candless, Nichols, Ridgway, St. Clair,
Turrell, Wilson, Worthington, and Pen
ney, Speaker-18.
- NAYS—Messrs. Beardslee, Bucher,
CLYMER, Donovan, Glatz„,Hopkins,
Lamberton, Latta, McSherry, Montgo
mery, Reiley,' Smith, Stark, Stein and
Wallace-15.
So the bill pissed finally.
This is only a portion of the votes cast
by,the Copperhead candidate for Gov
ernor as a Senator of Pennsylvania.—
The " boys in blue" can judge from this
how friendly Clymer was and is to the
cause in which they periled their lives.
As occasion serves during the campaign,
we can lay before our readers many sim
ilar p ges in the legislative career of
Hiester Clymer.
XXXIXth Congress-Ist Session.
The Senate debated the House Recon
struction resolution on the 29th ultimo,
striking out the third section, which
disqualified rebels from voting for mem
bers of Congreis and President until
1870. The vote was unanimous. In
stead of this section, the Senate will
propose a substitute providing that no
previous member of Congress or officer
of the United States; or any State Leg
islature, Executive, or Judicial officer,
who engaged in the rebellion, shall be a
Senator or Representative, or elector of
President, or hold any office, civil or
military, under the United States, or
any one of them.
The House passed the bill to reorgan
ize the supreme Court of the District of
Columbia.
On the 30th, after transacting a little
business, both Houses adjourned out of
respect to the memory of Gen. Scott,
whose death was formally announced
in a message from the President.
The Senate transacted little business
of importance on the 31st.
The House passed the bill to regulate
commercial intercourse between the
States, This bill relates to a railroad be
tween New York and Washington.
On the 4th of June the Senate resumed
discussion of the House resolution on
Reconstruction, making several amend
ments. The amendment substituted for
the third. section, the substance of which
is stated above, was adopted by a vote
of 33 to 10—Cowan, Doolittle and Nor
ton voting with the Johnson Democra
cy. Another amendment, alleviating
the pains and penalties incurred by per
sons engaged In the rebellion, was voted
down by a vote of 8 to 26.
The House passed a series of resolu
tions "to make treason 'odious," with
out a division. A resolution recogniz
ing the Fenians as belligerents, went
over one day under the rule. The Re
construction hill was debated, and the
House adjourned.

FOR 'GOVERNOR
MAJ.= GEN. sou , W. GEARY,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY
Gov. Cuwrxi has signed the bill to
disfranchise dekrters and skedaddlers
from the draft. We guess , that settles
the Constitutional hash.
Two weeks , ago we noted the declara
tions of several rabid Clymer papers be
low the mountains, tb the effect that
Gov. Curtin would not give, his support
to Gen. Geary. The Bellefonte Press
is'authorized by Gov: Curtin to say that
he is now, and hasfroin the first been, a
firm and unconditional Supporter of the
nomination of Gen. Geary, and shall,
so far as in him lies, advocate his elec
tion. This disposes of one more Cop
perhead lie.
THE ABUSE OF XEROY
" Has 'Hell broken loose?" asked a
friend the other day.
Our readers will bear witness that we
have abstained from violent den aneia
tion and abusive reference to Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States.
We have critised his action freely, as
was our privilege, and dissented from
his policy, as was our duty as a friend of
free and stable government. Believing
him to be demoralized, and untrue to
the principles to which he subscribed,
and upon which his election to the Vice
Presidency was made, we have conten
ted us with a simple statement of the
fact without comment.
But Andrew Johnson cannot justify
the free abuse of the pardoning power
which be has exercised and still contin
ues to exercise. Contrary to the oft-re
peated sentiment of Shakspeare, the
quality of the mercy which Mr. John
spn dispenses, i§ very badly " strained."
By his wholesale pardon of traitors, he
has forestalled legal action, and in some
sort made treason appear in the guise of
a venial crime.
Worse than this, the objects of his
latitudinous mercy have taken their
pardons in their hands and at once en
gaged in a violent crusade against the
Government itself; receiving the clem
e,ucy of the Government, and suruing
upon it like tigers! I
Worse still, because more unjust to so
ciety, he , has done a very large business
in pardoning counterfeiters, mail rob
bers, and murderers.. It is not stating
it too strongly, to say that counterfeit
ingi currency and robbing the mail may
now be prosecuted with comparative im
punity. The courts may do their duty,
—arraign, try, convict, and sentence;
but Andrew Johnson advertises a large
store of pity for such offenders, to which
they are invited to come and freely and
unstintedly partake. While these things
so remain, there can be no decrease of
crime. For crime is only decreased by
the absolute certainty of punishment on
conViction.
There is a point whence the -road to
clemency diverges widely, and leads
downward to sympathy For crime. It
would be hard to say that For
John
son has taken this divergent road ; but
if We judge him by the common stand
ard, that is the inevitable conclusion.—
Look around you to-day, reader, and
tell us, if ever before in your term of
life you knew crime so bold, and
sullen, and shameless. Arson, robbery,
rape, murder, and apologies therefor, are
the leading crimes of the time. The
crimes once limited to populous places
with a changing population, are now
domesticated among us in our little ham
lets, away from the great thoroughfares
of the country.
" Has Hell broken loose'?" asked our
friend' No. But high officers have so
trimmed down the magnitude of crime,
rende ed the avenues of escape from
punishment so broad, that vice has ta
ken a new lease of life, and impudently
beards virtue wherever that modest
quality shows itself.
Now, therefore, the universal.question
sems to be : What shall be done to check
the fearful increase of crime? Moral
culture Would do it in time; but moral
culture, in its nature, is a thing of de
grees. We cannot wait for its slow ref
ormation.
Had Mr. Johnson exercised his pre
rogative with care and judgmeht, prob
ably the occasion for this question would
not have arisen. But he has exercised
it too lavishly. He began by declaring
that treason should be punished, and
niade odious,—and has ended in making
treason semi-respectable. This led to
other clemencies in the shape of minor
crimes ; imii to-day it is a safer thing for
a man to counterfeit the national coin,
than it would be to take a joint of mut
ton from the market without leave, to
save one's children from starvation.—
The reason of this is, that the counter
feiter of 9oin is given to understand that
he has a friend in Washington, while
the pilferer of eatables knowS that de
tection means punishment.
Whether the Przident . sympathizes.
with crimes or not, makes no difference.
We have no idea that he would encour
age the crime of counterfeiting by di
rect means. The point we make, is,
that he prostitutes his prerogative—from
what motive we. know not,—and this
indirectly encourages the vicious to pros
ecute their. illicit:vocations.
We charge upon Andrew Johnson's
bad faith to the people, the terrible hav
oc crime is now Making throughout the
length land breadth of the land. We
recognize in his abuse of mercy, not a
tender heart and a just judgment, but
a moral deterioration, through which
1=ZEI=111:ilE
vice has 'parted with its hatefulness, and
rampant crime with its menace of moral
and-Social destruction. -
The Soldiers' Convention, -held at
Pittsburg on the Pith instant, proved to
be the most enthusiastic gathering of
the year. Upward of five hundred del
egates, very many of them maimed and
disabled, and nearly all veteran volun.
teers, were present, representing all
parts of the State.
The proceedings of this Convention .
were unusually significant. In York
and Cumberland counties the Clymer
party undertook - ti) control the 'primary,
elections for delegates, and boasted of
their success. They endeavored to smug
gle in a delegation of "Clymer" soldiers,
but got ashamed of it, we presume, - as
there tiiveltrs no record of contesting
delegations.
We receive the proceedings of the
Convention too late for insertion in full
this week, and so defer the publication
of 'the platforth until next week: The
following resolution, however, will serve
to give oar friends the key note to the
whole:
"Reach d, That this Convention is able to ex
press its s etiments upon the whole matter of is
sues and candidates in four words, which way an
swer for our banners in the pending political cam
paigrt---Gon GRANT GEARY VICTORY."
The policy of Congress was endorsed
in the strongest terms.
After the main resolutions were adop
ted, a Berks county delegate rose to op
pose the resolution endorsing radical
measures and radical lnen. Oeu. Col
lis, of Philadeliihia, asked him if he
would abide by theittion Of the Con
vention. He prevaricated, - :. . at, last
said that he would vote for Clym = .
Upon this two one-legged soldiers were
deputed a committee to escort the gen
tleman from Berks county from the
room. He went out quietly.
Five hundred soldiers in Convention,
and only one Clymer man ! Well; that
is about the tine - proportion—we guess.
At last, good folks, we have a Gov
ernment. • The fact became manifest on
the sixth day of June, instant'; and we
hope that the world, and the balance of
mankind, have breathed freer from that
memorable day.
Yes—we have a Government. A-Gov
ernment which finds leisure, amid the
press of reconstruction duties, to take
parental guardianship of the Province
of Canada. When the bloody Fenians
invaded Canada with an army of four
hundred men, without' cannon,, ammu
nition,--or commissary stores, with but
few •muskets, and no base of supplies,
the President, unmindful -of the `good
offices of Great Britain during the rebell
ion, issues his proclamation command
ing the arrest and arraignmentnf the
invaders.
Well; what of it?' Right enough, of
course., But we cannot 'avoid ' remem
bering that if it be. right to arrest Gen.,
Sweeney, the Fenian commander, and
bring him to justice for endeavoring to
overthrow British rule in Canada, we
radicals may surely be pardoned for in
sisting that the men who were lately in
vading Pennsylvania with an army of
120,000 armed men and 200 cannon ; who
burned Chambersburg and robbed the
entira country ;—we radicals and fana
tics may be pardoned for insisting that
these home traitors shall not make laws
for us at present.
Listen, Andrew Johnson : You must
not be inconsistent. If you arrest and
try the Fenian leaders as
. public ene
mies, you must arrest and try the rebel
leaders for treason. Or do you try (len.
Sweeney and his fellows that you may
have an ppportunity to PARDON them?
Such a stretching after opportunities for
the exercise of Executive clemency,
may be pardoned to a man who looks
upon a difference of opinion as a greater
crime than treason.
,The Copperhead papers in this Dis
trict are abusing Congressman WusoN
most vigorously. That is to be expect
ed. No man ever represented this Dis
trict more faithfully than he. If you
will be at the trouble of examining the
proceedings of Congress you will find
his vote recorded on every important
measure, and always on the right side:
He has given the closest attention to
business, so that he has never been out
of his seat when a test vote was pend
ing. More than this, he has heartily
seconded Andrew Johnson's proposi
tionto make treason infamous, and by
his votes helped to conduct traitors to a
" back seat" in the work of reconstruc
tion. We call that a good record.
The sympathizers with treason are in—
vited to bring on their bears. Mr. Wil
son, by the universal consent of the Re
publicans of his District, will take care
of them, whether they be full-bloods
or only half breeds.
We see that the Copperheads are ma
king desperate efforts to get up meetings
of soldiers in favor of Hiester Clymer.
Why not? By all means go ahead.—
There are the desertbrs ; the Canadian
refugees' from draft 'oppression ; every
skrilker ; every man who left the ser
vice at the tail end of a court martial—
all these can be convened, and get up a
big meeting in favor of Hiester Clymer,
"the Vallandigham of Pennsylvania"
—as his own home organ, dubs him.—
" Certainly. If riot, why?"
"Behold," said' the brazen reflector of
a hanging lamp, " how brilliantly I il
luminate this dull appendage of a lamp."
ThIS reminds us of the late glorifica
tion of one Dieffenbaeh, formerly editor
of the Clinton Democrat, by himself, or
by some dazzled friend. He claims not
to have turned the light of his counte
nance upon the editor of the Republi
can for many years.
The only time we ever beard of Dieff
enbach, as an editor, was by the way of
Bowman in the Republican. We have
heard of him as a contractor, but noth
ing that will bear repetition.
Wonder if it's true, as reported, that
the Life Insurance agents of Washing
ton have refused to insure tht. life of
President Johnson, because they cannot
make out his " policy' ?
801,DIERS' CONVENTION
• -
EINE
Adnitration , of, and veneration for,
Was. H. Seward, has never been one of
our weaknesses.. Ainan of .very - great
ability as a diplomatist, he bas .never
exhibited any of, the, shining qualities
of sound statesmanship.- He is; more
than any other American publh;ist, the
creature of present and varying circum
stances. He never goes before, as a lea
der, and never lags behind as a follower,
of public opinion. When, during the
first year of the rebellion; in responding
-to seretiadeiin hie honor, he continu
ally said : friends your will, hear
very great good news-Within slxVidaYs"
—he revealed the superficial nature of
his sagacity. •
Therefore, when' we' read 'his .. late
speech at Auburn, we are , not ,disap
pointed to find him forgetful of the na
ture and magnitude of, the, late poutest.
He thinks the rebellion was not much
of a shower ; that everything 'is going
well; that the President and Congress
, are not at loggerheads; and, to repeat
the language of the New York Post,
that " everything is lovely, and the
goose hangs high I" So, while not fully
agreeing with the World in ite harsh
ness, we give its "eOinznenta upon the
speech alluded to, as something in the
nature of justice. It said:
" The power of impudence, the utter absence
of any perception" of the. value and beauty of
truth, the jaunty ignoring of the past, the self
adulation, like that of a vender' of patent pills,
the contempt for the intellect of men, the convic
tion that bold, brazen lying is the strongest ele
ment of political success, mark the speech which
Mr. Seward has recently made at Auburn."
The Tribune says that out of its one
thousand Republican exchanges not ten
sustain " my policy."
We don't know of one Republic:saps
per which sustains the policy of pardon
ing rebels, counterfeiters, mail robbers
and murderers. We don't know 'of one
which asks for front seats in the nation
al councils to -accommodate traitors.-".
We hearthat there are twenty such pa
pers in this Commonwealth Will some
body send us a copy of one ? .
Is it not a little singular that theicip
mer party, which fought the enforachise
ment of soldiers in the field, tooth and
nail, now demands that deserters and
skulkers shall not be disfranchised?—
Do these hypocrites expect to escape
damnation?
The Senate has passed the House Re
construction resolution, amended as to
the third section, by a vote of 33 to U.
We are in receipt of a neatly printed
and vigorous paper on the right•side,
published at Laporte, Sullivan county,
by Brewster &Ingham. The Free Press
deserves the actiVe support of the Re-'
pUblicans of Sullivan, and we hope it
may receive it.

Col. Gregg at Whitneyville.
On Saturday evening (June 2d) Col. Theodoie
Gregg; late commander of the 45th regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers, addressed a laic audi
ence of ladies, returned soldiers, and others, at
Whitneyville.
In his own- peculiar style, the Colonel first gave
a condensed history of the regiment, from its or
ganisation to its disbandment. His remarks in
that respect, though necessarily brief, were re
markably clear and comprehensive. Members of
the regiment, who were witnesses of, as Well as
participants in its history, expressed much arm
prise at the unerring accuracy, as to dates, local
ities, &c., with - which all events alluded to were
described. His descriptions of the principal mar
ches and battles through which the varying for:-
tunes of war led us, and of his own experience
as a prisoner in the bands of the enemy, were
very vivid and foreible,--carrying us back in
memory to those terrible days of suffering, dan
ger, and death!
With the instinct of a soldier and patriot, the
Colonel loves his country, and its defenders, and
hates its enemies, wherever they are. He spoke
briefly, but with graphic earnestness, of the ser
vices of his comrade and friend, General Geary,
with. whom he served in Mexico, as well as during
the late rebellion.
The Colonel's impetuous temperament and his
profound hatred of disloyalty, rendered hia in
vectives against Mr. Clymer very bitter. It
would have taught the would-be Democratic Gov-
erndttgoOd,lesson, to have heard a soldier's
opinion Of; die class be represents.
Go ahead. Colonel; the boys in blue" are.
with you! The gallant Geary, who led us to
battle; instead-0f staying at home and throwing
the weight of his influence to keep others. from
going to the moue of the country, in her great
est peril; who, instead of intriguing to cheat us
of our votes, Made it a special business to care
for and protect, as well as command his soldierS ;
Geary, the gentleman, patriot, statesman, and
soldier, is our man!
Captain Whitney presided during the lecture.
The house was very crowded. Many were out
eide,listening through the open windows. Good
order prevailed daring the entire address, which
bstesi - neasly three ?tours_ Bursts of applause
and roars of laughteilreqaently interrupted the
speaker. A •gbad prdportion of •the assemblage
were returned soldiers; many of them members
of the Forty-Fifth,, who bad gathered from all
quarters to see and bear their old commander.

ably appear next week.
