try and the . World dishonored and de
graded.
The ordinary calumnies of the Cop
perheads and traitors were coined in the
most frightful maledietiot s against you.
I know of no scene in histor where a
public character, for an act of-inexcusa
ble weakness, was at the same time so
universally execrated by one party, and
so indulgently and magnanimously
treated by another. Any true man,
equally unfortunate and equally forgiv
en and defended, would have turned to
the great Republican Union party, and
have said, " For this act of noble clem
ency, I am bound to you through life
and unto death ; that which you have
done this day places me under obliga4
tions from which I can never escape,
and which I shall forever cherish.—
I feel that I have disgraced you and dis
honored myself, ; and by_ a life of grati
tude I will prove that, although unwor
thy of your confidence and unworthy
of your vindication, I can at least do my
best to atone for my offence."
But as you seem to be made of differ
ent Metal from such a character, you
have not only coolly forgotten the gen
erous men who saved you from disgrace,
but are now engaged in the pleasant pas
time of slandering them and proscrib
ing their friends. I will postpone a de
scription of my own part in that sad dra
=la preferring to wait for the other pri
vhtle revelations you prothise to lay be
fore the country. It is very certain that,
if you have forgotten all shame, you
cannot have forgotten my connection
with yourself during that unhappy ex
perience. Probably no more graphic
and instructive page could be added to
the history of your Administration than
a detailed account of that celebrated
day.. I have not been as careful in treh
sunng all the incidents as you have
been in preserving the private letters of
the gentlemen whom you intended to
betray • but where my own memory
fails, I'shall be able to eke out a com
plete narrative by turning to the copi
ous and fascinating columns of those
traitor and copperhead newspapers
which are now defending your charac
ter and your conduct.

The following letter from John S.
Mann, Esq., of Coudersport, Potter co.,
Pa., is pointed and opportune. Ran
dall, chief of the Bread-and-Butter bri
gade at Washington, addressed Mr.
Mann, supposing him to be still post
master at Coudersport, a position which
he occupied up to January last, when
he took his seat as a Representative in
the Legislature from his county. Not
knowing that he had resigned, Randall
sent him, as to all other officials, a prin
ted circular, and Mr. Mann's reply is as
follows :
" COUDERSPORT, July 6, 1866.
" Hon. A. TV. Randall,
"Dear Sir : Your favor of June 26, en
closing a call fora National Union Con
vention, is received, with a request that
if the call meets my approbation, I will
signify it by a brief letter for publica
tion.
" I presume I have as good a right to
signify my dissent as approval of this
call, and I therefore take the liberty of
saying that I have no sympathy with it
nor with the men whose names are
signed to it.
" In the spring of 1862 I spent some
weeks in Washington, and every day
was a listener to the great debate in the
Senate on the right and duty of confis
cating the property of traitors. The
speeches of Messrs. Cowan, Doolittle
and Browning on that occasion, were
all of the calculated, if not intended,
to throw'obstacles in the way of the tri
umph of our arms ; and when I return
ed home I told my friends those Sena
tors would all land in the camp of the
Copperheads before the contest was set
tled. The endorsement of this call by
the Coppei-head members of Congress,,
shows that it is the bridge over which
these betrayers of their constituents are
to march to the disloyal party of the na
tion.
"If you think you can build up a
party of any strength, by parading the
names of these recreants to the princi
ples that exalted them into power, you
deceive yourself.
" The people are in earnest ; - they
have made such sacrifices as no pen can
portray, to overthrow treason; and to
sophistry Can cheat them out of the just
fruits of their victory, so dearly pur
chased—the first of which is, that loyal
men,
if they are only " five thousand"
in a State, shall control its destinies and
fill its offices.
"Your movement seeks to give the
control of the Government of the na
tion into the hands of those who sought
to destroy it, and of their sympathizers ;
and so it will fail, just as the great Chi
cago disloyal movement failed. Read
the effort to build up a Tyler party, and
take warning.
" Truly yours, for a National Union
of loyal men. JOHN S. MANN."
We have here an insight into the des
picable machinery of the Post Office
Department. Every one of the thou
sands of postmasters throughout the
country has received one of the circu
lam, and is expected to respond, on pain
of dismissal. Was ever Austrian des
potism more shameless than this? And
the man who undertakes it professes to
be a Republican.— Washington Dispatch

The Democratic Opinion of Soldiers.
The New York Day Book, the organ
of the Democracy of the Eastern States,
in noticing the decoration of the graves
of the Confederate soldiers by the peo
ple. of Rich mood, on the 31st of May,
says:
" Thank God the vandals who dis
graced the name of American soldiers,
and who plundered defenceless soldiers'
homes, under the sanction of Lincoln
and Stanton, had not the power to beat
it back, the God-given right to shed
tears, and to hold sacred in memory the
ones who were to them dear and wor
thy._
" Who will shed tears over the graves
of hundreds of Ncortherri officers, who
robbed, burned acid pillaged the homes
of innocent parties? Angels may weep
over their sins, but mortals never will
over their virtues ; and who will weep
over the graves of the tyrants, cowards,
and tools of tyrants, who went about
the country mobbing men for an opin
ion, imprisoning men for their belief,
and beat their brains out with clubs for
not shouting a lie in praise of tyranny,
cowardice, wrong and usnrwition?"
We desire the soldiers of the Union to
know exactly what the Democracy think
of them. '
The Memphis Argus, a violent rebel
paper, said of Andrew Johnson in 1881:
We should like to see Andrew John
son's lying tongue torn from his foul
mouth, and his miserable carcass thrown
out to poison mad dogs, or hung on a
gibbet as high as Haman, to feed the
carrion buzzards."
Since Andrew Johnson has determin
ed not to " make treason odious," the
Argos thinks better of him, and now
says :
' " The iron firmness, the undismayed
soul of a singleman (Andrew Johnson)
is all that stands between us and the
trful vortex of anarchy and resultant
ari=, which has engulfed the lives
nes of so many millions before
us.- Let us ralfS - to the side of that man,
determined to save or perish with the
republic."

FOR GOVERNOR
HAI - GEN. JOHN W. GEARY,
OP CUMBERLAND COUNTY
k The Clinton Republican says that the
rumor that. L. A. Mackey, Esq., of that
county, will take the field as an inde
pendent candidate against Mr. Wilson,
seems unfounded. We should hope so.
There can be no half-way work this fall.
A bottle of a ConstitutiOn Life Syr
up," another of " Constitution Water,"
and a gallon - of "Constitution Invigo--
rater," are very much needed—at the.
Philadelphia Conventioi. Poor Con
stitution! Coppeiheaddom and rebel
dom, rolled Into one rollicking Gil Bias,
are about to undertake your case. There
will be a post mortem, a " crovitner's"
inquest, and a verdict of " died of dis
gust."
CON/NGMTP TO BREATHE
It will be remembered that the Chi
cago Convention of 1864, after nomina
ting McClellan and declaring the war a
failure, adjgrirnedlo meet at the call of
the Executive Committee.
Usually, such- Conventions adjourn
aine die. This did not.
Therefore, when we saw by the papers
that there was to be a grand rally of the
Bread-and-Buttei brigade at Philadel
phia Aigust 14, instant, we at once rec
ognized the re-assembling of the Chica
go Convention.
Evidently the Chicago monster is
coming up to breathe. Upon the expo
sure of the Order of the Knights of the
Golden Circle, and the surrender of Lee
and Johnston, the monster sounded, as
the whalemen say, and has never since
"revisited the glimpses of the moon."
It will come up to breathe next Tues
day, in latitude 40 N. and longitude 60
E. from Washington.
When such monsters rise for breath
they commonly blovi, and proceed to,
kick the bucket in great and sanguinary
agony.
There has been a slight ripple on the
surface of the ,Political ilea for some
weeks. The harpoon cast into the Chi
cago monster by the Union party in 18-
64, evidently chafed it sorely. First
came the general order No. 1, com
manding the rank and file of the Bread
and-Butter brigade—that is, the post
masters and other salaried officers of the
Government—to show their hands.—
The question briefly put was : " What
is your market price?" " Aerbetween
bread-and-butter and principle, which?"
That is a pleasant way to recruit the
Fallstaffiau army. But Jordan proved
a hard road to travel, as the tradition
hath it. To these questiOns the answers
were varied and interesting.
For instance, Colonel Frick, P. M. at
Pottsville, pa., returned to Mr. Randall;
thus: •
"I desire to say that I do not train in your
crowd, and therefore do not sympathiie iu the
objects of your convention. I fought in this war
against treason and traitors, and I do not feel now
like ignoring the past and helping Copperheads
and Republican traitors to place these same men
in power again where they can make laws for me,
and crack the whip of slavery over the free people
of the North. That day bas gone by, and we
now live in an enlightened age.
When the gallant Colonel said• that
he did not train in Mr. Randall's crowd,
he delicately insinuated that Mr. Ran
dall's crowd was the same that he, Col.
F., fought against all through the war.
Mr. Theodore Tilton, of New York,
who does notlold an office, we think,
also received a delicate note from Ran
dall, Cowan & Co., He replied as fol
lows : ,
• •
" diving a dispositiOn to oblige Mr. • Randall,
we first showed the call to our friends, and asked
their opinion. We found that the call gave great
delight; it, in fact, already ranks with Baxter's
Cell to the Unconverted. We cordially unite
with our friends, therefore, in the following reply
to Mr. Randall :
" Dear Mr. Randall:
" In the language of the poet,
" Blessings brighten as they take their flight,'
"Accordingly we seize this occasion to say that
if. when thou pest, thou wilt stay gone, then
'twere , well that thou go quickly. Yours,
" THE UNION PARTY.
" P. S.—The Assistant Postmaster General has
the authority, which be requested, to publish this
letter."
But Mr. Randall did not publish this
letter of Tilton's. o
Elsewhere we publish the reply of our
worthy friend John S. Mann, of Cou
dersport, to a similar invitation to wit
ness the Chicago monster coming up to
breathe. Mr. Mann thinks that the
party which fought four years to destroy
the GovernMent is not quite the proper
party to reconstruct, for all time, the
battered republic. That's what the peo
ple generally think.
These curt replies to the great chief of
Breadland Butter, remind us of certain
cards repudiating the Clymer Soldiers'
Convention held to-day in Harrisburg.
Captain J. L. Benson, Lancaster, pub
lishes the following :
" To eta, Witok IT MAT Coacanx.--My name
was obtained to the call for a Clymer Club, pub
lished in last night's Intelligencer, under false
representations. I wanot Tote for Clymer, and
never said I would to any one. I will vote and
use my influence for Geary and the Union ticket.
I vote the way I shot."
Of the same piece is the card of a
member of company •D, 12th P. R. C.,
published in the Harrisburg Telegraph.
He says :
" In looking over the list of soldiers published
in the call for a soldier-Clymer Convention, to
meet at Harrisburg, August J, I see the name of
George Garman, color bearer, Co. D, 12th regi
ment P. R. C. Now this man Garman never was
color-bearer in said company, or if he bore any
.colors they were invisible to the members of his
company.
If George Garman can be taken as a sample
of those whcreigued that call, then I am not sur
prised that they are for Clytner. Garman went
with his couipaii3 to Cato!, Pierlient, Va., in 1861,
where he got sick, or played sick until he was die
charged early in 18f32, and whild in eervice he
never heard the ecreech of a Isbell or toe whiz of
a Minnie." ,
This reminds us that au examination
of the record at the Adjutant General's
office, shows that Of'the officers who
signed the call for that Convention, 22
of the highe4 rank named served only
from two to ten months each. Two are
not on record at all, and one walla draf
ted man.
. .
However, if the Clyrne.rites did their
best, we are not disposed - to quarrel with
them: ,
The Soldiers' County Convention,
which met in the Court House on the
27th ultimo, was one of the most intelli
gent :and efficient assemblages upon
which we have had the honor to attend.
Twenty four districts were represented
fully, which, taking into consideration
the busy season of the year, may be con
sidered remarkable. For despatch of
business, order and decorum, it ranked
first class and receives the warm com
mendation of our citizens.
By the proceedings, which we puli
fish elsewhere, It will be seen that the
action of the Pittsburg Soldiers' Con
vention was ratified unamiously, and
steps to perfect a County organization
of Soldiers taken. The plan of collect
ing statistics relating to the military
record of County is a good one, and
the resolution touching the erection of
a Monument in memory of the .heroic
dead cannot but meet with universal
approbation.
" We may say to the Tioga Agitator that so far
as the Pease ,is concerned, there is not the slight
est danger of the betrayal of 1864, in the Con
gressional canvass. We understood that both the
gentlemen named were candidates for our -ttotni
nation, and that neither would lend themselves to
any disorganizing scheme. No patched ticket
can command twenty votes outside of the Copper
head party in Centre, on Congress or anything
else. Mr. Wilson's votes and public course are
endorsed, and be will be supported with cheerful
ness and energy by us. We regard his re-nomi
nation and election axed facts."
We knew our friend of the Bellefonte
Press well enough to know that he
would not be a party to any disorganiz
ing schemes. Havi ng been assured that
Mr. Armstrong would not be a candi
date, and not having seen anything in
the Lock Haven paper about Mr. Mack
ey's candidacy, it occurred to •us that
these rumors might herald the schemes
of disorganizers.
HoNS. F. WlLsox.—The Bellefonte
Press says : '
" Opposition to the 'renomination of How. STE
PHEN F. WILSON makes no headway in Centre
county, and we learn , that the same is true of
Clinton and Lycoming. reelection is a mat
ter of certainty, and the 'oriel' who speak of a
division in our ranks on defunct Johnsonisin feel
it in their bones and believe it in thejr rotten
and treasonable hearts."
Still, it is best for all parties that this
third party plot be worked out fully.
Let us have a " Johnson Republican"
candidate by all means. Perhaps the
Democracy will vote for him.
The West Branch Bulletin, in noting
the fact that Messrs. Armstrong, of Ly
coming County, and Mackey of Clinton
County, have been spoken of as a can
didate, for Congress, says :
" So far as this county is concerned, there are
not more than five and a half or six men, in the
Republican party, who make any opposition to
Mr. WILSON. Re has made a record which has
endeared him to every genuine Republican in the
district, whose political principleh are above their
personal likes or dislikes. We are aware that
Mr. ARMSTRONG has been approached by copper
heads and soreheads, and importuned to run as
an independent candidate against Mr. Wtt.sos, in
which caee he was pledged the copperhead vote.
Mr. ARMRTONG is not the man to allow himself
to be used as a cat's-paw for copperheads, or, to
contribute, in any possible way, to the aid and
comfort of the enemy, and he peremptorily re
pelled all approaches of this kind,"
THE WAIL IN EUROPE
The Indian used to say—" White
man very unsartin !" We agree with
him to thp point that Europeans are
extremely uncertain. When we went
to press last week the foreign news
looked like speedy peace in Europe.
The next steamer brought news that
Prussia and Italy had rejected the me
diation of Napoleon, and that a general
European war was Imminent.
The war is not ended. It is but just
began. The Prussians have defeated
the German States army and taken
Frankfort-on-the-Main, the Capital.
The Italians have pushed forward into
Venetia and threaten Austrian dOiniria
tion there. The great battle• to be
fought under the walls of Vienna.
The Copperhead editors ought to
thank Gen. Sherman for his march to
the sea. The awful devastations which
marked his path furnish the themes of
most of their editorials.
To vary the tune—for a tune without
variations is hum-drum—why not write
a few paragraphs denouncing the burn
ing of Chambersburg as an ungentle
manly action. We- only stipulate for
the word " ungentlemanly," as any
other word might offend the sensitive
people who rebelled against the Gov
ernment, who starved upward of 20,-
000 Union prisoners of war to death,
who employed villains to burn our cit
ies, who sent clothing and bedding used
by yellow fever patients into our ports,
and who fired guns over the assassina
tion of Lincoln.
Again, we say that no word should be
used which can offend such angelic
creatures.
If the reply of the Clinton Democrat
to our remarks upon suffrage proves
anything, it proves that education unfits
men for the rational exercise of their
faculties and prerogatives. Its entire
diatribe, where it avoids scurrility, is a
condemnation of the Common School
system.'
Now we db not propose to argue in
fhvor of universal education, in this
age, against men who denounce it. As
soon would we argue with a thief that
" honesty is the best policy." When
the former Deputy Secretary of tbe Com
tnonwealth and ex-officio State Super
intendent of Schools, we believe, choos
e's to ascend to argument, he may find
his superior in a thousand district
school boys in New England. •
The Atlantic Telegraph is being laid
by the Great Eastern.
The Clymer Soldiers' Convention
meets in Harrisburg to-day. To the
call was appended, so they claim, about
300 names of soldiers, " from a Briga
dier General down to a - priviAte." •
Ten days ago a.call for a county Sol
diers' Convention in the interest of Gen.
Geary, was issued for Lancaster county,
to Which the names of over 400 soldiers
were signed
That is a fair comparison of the re
spective strength of Geary and Clymer
among the soldiers. In upward of 60
counties 300 soldiers are found to endorse
Clymer. In the 'single comity of Lan
caster, more than 400 soldiers endorie
Geary.
Look out for a repetition of this en
dorsement in October.
" Secretary-Seward says the Southern •States
wiU be represented in the next Congress peacea
bly or by torte. •This nadicases stirring times
ahead."—Coppirheari paper.
And the_people say that no State will
be represented in the next Congress by
force. If Mr. - Seward said anything so
sublimely foolish, and if his say-so fore
shadows Executive usurpation, it as
well to understand that the stirring
times ailudeci to will be brief, brilliant
and decisive. And the men who are
egging the President on, will feel the
" stir" as the slaves used to feel the pad
dle and salt and pepper dressing. We
hope this is so plain that there will be
no need of a commentator.
Congress adjourned on Saturday, after
doing itself no credit in passing a bill
to increase the pay of members. The
bill to equalize bounties was s tacked to
the former, and thus carried by a ma
jority of one vote in the House. It
gives us great pleasure to state that our
member, Mr. Wilson, voted agsintt the
measure.
Nebraska was admitted as a State just
before the adjournment. Mr. Harlan
has resigned the Secretaryship of the
Interior, and Browning is appointed-in
his place. The tariff bill passed in some
shape.

a committee to draft resolutions.
Hon. H. W. Williams was called' for, and ad
dressed the Convention daring the absence of the
committee on resolutions, in a brief but appropri
ate speech.
The committee on resolutions reported as fol
lows :
Be it resolved by the soldiers of Tioga county
in convention assembled,
let, That having aided the Government in put
ting down treason and armed rebellion, and hav
ing witnessed the return of peace, with our coun
try undivided, we express our undoubted belief
in the power of the Government to sustain itself
and become ilasting monument of the perpetuity
of Republican institutions.
2d, That the resolutions passed by the State
Convention held at Pittsburg ,by the soldiers of
this Commonwealth, be adopted as the sense of
this Convention,
3d, That we regard it as but just, in view of
the services of those who took the field In defence
of civil liberty against the machinations of trai
tors and their apologists, that where there is
equal competency and integrity, as between can
didates for place, the soldier should be preferred
before the civilian.
4th, That ilia the duty, and should be consid
ered the privilege, of the men and women of Tio
ga county, to,secnre the erection of a suitable
monument to commemorate the gallant deeds and
glorious deaths of the men of Tioga who fell
fighting for our common liberties, in the great
struggle with treason and its apologists; and that
we, their comrades, hereby resolve ourselves into
a general committee to labor for this noble object.
sth, That we constitute ourselves into a sol
diers' and sailors' association of Tioge county,
with a standing committee of five, to be selected
from different parts of the county, and said asso
ciation to be subject to the call of said commit
tee.
6th, That we regard with ‘pride and approba
tion the uniformly straightforward and patriotic
course of our Representative in Congreas, non.
B. F. Wilson.
The report was accepted.
Col. Theodore Gregg was then invited to ad=
dress the Convention, and complied withlthe
vitation in a stirring speech upon OW political
situation, during which he was most enthusiasti
cally applauded. I
The resolutions of the committee were unani
mously adopted.
The Chairman announced that Colonel Gregg
would. probably visit the several townships of the
county and speak in behalf of the Tinton eausit.
The Chairman announced as a Committee of
Vigllance.for the county the following mamed
persons:
Lieut. Col. E. G. Schieffelin,
Maj. V.A. EMMA,
Captains J. H. ,Shaw, B. T,, Wood. and - B. B.
Backer.
The Chairman then expressed his thanks it; the
Convention for the honor. it had conferred upon
him in calling him to preside over its delibera
tions, in a happily worded speech, which elicited
much applause.
The Chairman stated in explanation of the
neglect of the State to furnish transportation to
color-bearers to attend the flag presentation at
Philadelphia, July 4, that the master of transpor
tation for the I.3th division, embracing Bradford.
Tioga and Sullivan counties, was Gen. Madill, of
Bradford. Gen. Madill omitted to give the prop
er notice, and hence the failure. Gen. Cox had
no power in the premises.
The following committee on statistics was ap
pointed :
Thomas Davis, J. H. Shaw, Wm. 0. Mattison,
L. D. Seely, and M. L. Clark, with instruetions to

At the Soldiers' Convention held at Welisboro on the

adopted:
That we regard it as but just, in view of tbe servi
ces of those who took the field In dmence of civil liber
ty against the machinations of traitors and their apolo.
gists, that where there is equal competency and integ
rity, as between candidates for place, the soldier should
be preferred before the civilian."
In keeping with the idea therein expressed, we, the
undersigned. soldiers of Tioga county, would respect
fully but earnestly recommend to the Republiean county
CeneentiOnc which masts on the lath instant. the name
of William T. Humphrey, M. D., of Osceola, for the or

we earnestly hope that it may receive the approval of

Lou by Portland_ Fire July 4th.
The total amount covered by 2Etna policies on
property destroyed or damaged, is $206,854, on
whleh - salvage will be about lye per cent. Our
total loss will not vary much from $200,000, and
is being promptly adjusted and paid. This sum
is five per cent. upon the assets, a figure but slight
ly exceeding our government and State taxes paid
last year, or a proportion equal to a $5,000 loss
for a company of $lOO,OOO assets.
The necessity for insurance and the value of
wealthy, strong corporations, is forcibly illustra
ted by this fire. Several weak insurance compa
nies are destroyed. Portland has a population of
35,000 ; was handsomely built, mostly fine brick
or atone structures—protected and screened with
upwards of 3,000 shade trees—bounded on three
sides by water—indeed, literally, almost rising
from the ocean—and with a good steam fire de
partment;—yet it has $10,000,000 of property
consumed in a few hours, upon a holiday, when
its people are least occupied—from the very insig •
nificant cause of a contemptible fire cracker:
Remember the trifling origin of fires that sweep
away in a few hours the earnings of years. Con
sider your best interests and give the !Etna agent
a call, if you need proper insurance security.—
