Andrew Johnson in 1864 When struggling in Tennessee in 1804, and just nominated for the Vice Presi dency, Mr. Johnson certainly took a different view of the ways and means of reconstruction from that he espouses now. But those times have changed, and his responsibilities have grown since. Then' he was fighting to save the Union; now he is its successful head, and would pacify and lead it.— Yet the. recollection of these passages from his Nashville speech of that year, responding to the Vice Presidential nomination—stating so vigorously and plausibly the .position of his present Congressional opponents, as none of them have ever since voiced it—might at least give him toleration and patience for those who still hold to them, not a lone as abstract justice, but as essential to the real_restoration of the Union. "I say that traitors should take a back seat in the work of restoration.— If there be but five thousand tue\n in Tennessee loyal to the Constitution, loyal to freedom, loyal to justice, these true and faithful men should control ale work of reorganization and reformation absolutely. I say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen, and, in joining the rebellion, has become a public ene my. He forfeited his right to vote with loyal men, when he renounced his citi zenship, and sought to destroy our gov ernment. We say to the most honest , and industrious foreigner who comes from England or Germany to dwell a mong us, and to add to the wealth of the country, `Before you can be a citi zen you must stay here for five years.' If we are so cautious about foreigners, who voluntarily renounce their homes to live with us, what should we say to the traitor, who, although \ born and reared among us, has raised a parricidal hand against the government which al ways protected him ? .My judgment is that he should be subjected to a severe ordeal before he is restored to citizen-, ship. A fellow who takes the oath to save his property merely, and denies the validity of the oath, is a perjured man, and not to be trusted. Before these repenting rebels can be trusted, let them bring forth the fruits of repentance.— He who helped to make all these wid ows and orphans, who draped the streets of Nashville in mourning, should suffer for his great crime. "Treason must be made odious, and traitors must be punished and impov erished; their great plantations must be seized, and divided into small farms, and sold to honest industrious men.— The day for protecting the lands and negroes of these authors of rebellion is past. It is high time it was. I have been most deeply pained at some things which come under my observation. We get men in command who, under the influence of flattery, fawning and ca ressing, grant protection tollie rich trai tor, while the poor 'Onion, man stands i t out 'n the cold, often unable to get a re ceip or you/al:Ler for his losses. The trait r can get lucrative contracts, while the loyal man is pushed aside, unable to obtain recognition." Under the heading of " Antecedents Everything," the New York Citizen, a Democratic newspaper, edited ,by a thorough paced New York democratic politician, says " Major , Gen. Geary, the Republican nominee for Governor for Pennsylvania is a candidate we should hate to have to vote againTt His democrat'opponent is said to hate been rather eopperheady throughout the war ; and, if so, we trust every sol dier and loyal democrat will cast his ballot for Geary." Good for Private Miles O'Reilly, who is the editor of this paper. Miles, although a democrat, is a true Irish soldier, and loves his coun try better than his party; and we ad vise all democratic soldiers to prove themselves true, by following Private O'Reilly's straight-forward and_soldier ly advice. - He adds ;—" Geary did good service everywhere in all capacities—signally distinguishing himself on the Pennsyl vania battlefield of Gettysburg, which formed, perhaps, the decisive turning point of the war." Col. Halpine was a fighting staff soldier during the war serving as Assistant Adjutant General to the old tenth army corps and this is what he says of Geary.

After the Performance. THE ANIMALS WILL ALL BE FED ! by Manager Johnson in Person. The Chicago Mites, speaking of Dr. Dostie, the New Orleans martyr, calls him "One of those pestilent ruffians and demagogues fortunately killed." Turn We now from the Northern Dem ocrat to a candid Southerner. j The Galveston (Texas) Bulletin says: " Dr. Anthony P. Dostie, who was killed, was the last Union man to leave the State. He openly denounced the Confederacy long after actual fighting began. Whatever may be said of the rest, no man charged him with dishon esty. He was, undoubtedly, very indis creet." The contrast is instructive. The St. Louis Republican having Nth lished Gen. Sherman's name among the list of speakers at a recent Conservative Rebel meeting in that city, the General responds in a card, indignantly denying that he trains in any such crowd. Eht "aviator.

REP.IIBLICAN Meksgii Mee tllag AT WELLSBORO ! Gov. A. J. HAMILTON, of TexaN, will address the Republicans of Tioga county, at J • Wellsboro, Friday, August 24, 18(36. at two o'clock, P. M. Gen. CAMERON will also be present, and may be expected to 'address the Meeting. Gov. HAMILTON was until recently Provisional Governor of Texas, and is a living witness of the effect of "my policy" in that State. He is one of the best speakers in the country. Let there be a grand rally of all who believe that " treason should be made odious," and that " traitors alould take back seats in the work of reconstruc tion." A FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS These questions are for you to consid er and reply to : Suppose you hire Smith to wo your farm, and after six months you find that he is a lazy, good-for-nothing, who works when you are in sight, lies under the fence when your back is turned, and cheats you all the while : You pay Smith off and discharge him, don't you ? The question is—when you want an other man will you hire Smith-? But if you did hire Smith over again, and your - neighbors should cart you a fool, would you blame them? , :uppose you lease your farm to Jones for three years. The term is up, but meanwhile Jones has consulted a law yer, who Ciiscovers'a defect in the lease, through which defect .Tont, if disposed to lie ugly, can hold the premises six months, or so, longer : When you talk about resuming possession Jones is dis posed to be ugly ; he flatly tells you that he eqn. hold on, and he will hold on ; and he holds on, in spite of your intend ed bargain to the contrary. The question is: Fhen you at last get rid of Jones, will you lease the pre mises to Jones again? If you do, and your neighbors call you foolish, will you resent it? • Suppose you are a man of surplus capital, and you want to invest that sur plus capital in the funds. Not being posted in the best chances for gain, you employ a broker. The broker takes youi money and leaves the country, leaving you only a common receipt, but no little note of hand properly endorsed, and no collateral security by which you can' save yourself: You pursue your fu gitive broker, catch him, bring him back, and to save his bacon he refunds two-thirds of your money. The question is—when you have oc casion to employ another broker or agent, will you employ that particular one ? If you do, and the public should say—" What a confounded fool!" could you resent it? Suppose you are one et a company doing a large business. The company permits a liberal credit to its customers, and at last A, B, and C, owe the compa ny . s'loo,ooo, the want of whleh is a source of serious embarrassment. You mill upon A, B, and C, for the money. They treat you cavalierly and talk of repudiatiOn. Things get from bad- to worse, and the company is forced to go into liquidation. The members of the company and their creditors are per mitted to name the parties to whom the responsibility of closing up the concern shall be entrusted. Is it probable that the company and its creditors will name A, B, and C, as those i)arties? Should you do it, and the world Should publish you as a pack of fools, could you grum ble ? Well, the old "Democratic" party was the agent of the people, or of a ma jority of the people, for a nearly unbro ken period of about thirty years. It collected the rents, paid• the expenses, - generally, and pocketed the balance, as regularly as clock-work. It finally cane to estimate power and plunder above the general welfare, as paramount to justice, or the claims of free institu tions, even. So it sold itself to tan aris tocracy, receiving a new lease of power in exchange for its cherished principles. Its panderings to the Slav'eocrats finally ruined the credit of the country. Its placemen stole millions of bonds and securities held in trust, and everything seemed verging upon ruin. Finally the crash came. The owners of the Democratic party concluded to withdraw from the partnership and carry off all the plunder possible: They repudiated the Constitution, possessed themselves of the foits, arsenals, mints and custom houses in the South, and prepared to make war upon the General Government. A Democratic President officially declared that the Constitution afforded no remedy for this evil. A Democratic Attorney General argued laboriously to prove the same thing.— Democratic Congressmen and Senators abandoned the Uovernment and allied themselves With the Seceders: Demo cratic officers of the army resignedand went over to the enemy. Demociatie politicians in the North deelared that the South was right and the North wrong. Then camerthe war—long, bloody, and exhausting. And in the midst of its terrible bereavements, the people looked back, and saw that this party calling itself Democratic, with none to dispute its rule for more than a quarter of a century, had so abused its trust as to plunge the, country into an awful war. In 1861 the leaders of this party be sought the people to give the reins of power into their hands once more. The people refused, saying—"'We trusted you without limit for many years; you robbed us, sold us into slave ry, and finally plunged the nation into war. We will not Unit you again." In 1862 the leaders of this party again besought the people to give them the power. - The people refused, saying—" trusted you once, thrice, yea, many years, and see, the whole country is in mourning because of your perfidy." In-1868 the leaders of this party made an agonizing appeal for power. The people refused, saying—" You betrayed us; we cannot trust you." In 1864 this rotten party again plead ed for power. " You can never have good times until you give us the reins of power," said the leaders. But the people refused, and sent: them back Ito their dens smarting with overwhelming defeat. In 1865 the leaders of this party again besought the people to give them the reins , of power. But the people return ed the old, withering reply—" We trust ed you for thirty years, and you betray= ed us. We will not trust you again." Again the leaders of this rotten party are down on their knees, begging the people to give them the reins of power. But the people remember that these very leaders rejoiced over the defeats of the Union armies during the long night of war, sought to overthrow the public credit, depreciated the - currency, en couraged the rebels to persist in rebell ion; and declared the war a failure in a critical moment, when unity was vitally necessary to save life and treasure. Good people : as you would trust a second time the Smith, Jones, and A, B, C, spoken of int the opening of this article, so trust.this perfidious party which exults over the massacre of Un ion men in the South, and strikes hands with traitors. In his speech to the 300 soldiers who attended the Clymer Soldiers' State Convention at Harrisburg, August 6, Mr, Clymer declared that in all his speechmaking he never before felt so oppressed. No doubt of it. How could it be oth erwise? During the entire rebellion he, as a State Senator, uniformly voted against the men who fought our battles. He voted against a resolution instruct ing the Pennsylvania delegation in Con gi•ess to vote for an increase of pay to soldiers. He voted against resolutions of thanks to the army for victories over the rebels. He voted against the amend ment of the Constitution so as to permit soldiers to vote while on duty. Op pressed? The wonder is bow Hiester Clymer dared to appear before an audi e4e composed of soldiers! The editor of the Johnson organ in Williamsport evidently believes that a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth. In his issue of the 10th he has four sep arate paragraphs in one column, each distinctly charging Mr. Wilson with vo ting to increase his pay. Dun ham knows better, if he knows anything. If he knows nothing, then he is the fittest man to conduct a Johnson organ in the State. Come, D. S. D., publish vote by ayes and noes upon the bill to in cease the salary of Congressmen. Publish the official vote, and so post yourself as a falsifier. An immense mass meeting of soldiers and citizens in honor of General Geary, was held at York on the 9th inst. Ad dresses were made by Gov. Curtin, ,Gen. Geary, and others, and the occasion was one of very great enthusitugm. So far so good. We now come to a part of the exercises not calculated to prolong the era of good feeling. As the train started for Harrisburg in the eve ning, when passing through a cornfield just above York, the train was attacked by a party of Copperheads, armed with pistols and stones. I Six shots were fired into the close car in which Gov. Curtin, Gen. Geary, and the ladies of the party were seated; happily doing no personal damage. Several persons were injured by stones thrown at other cars. Here is a plain attempt to assassinate Gov. Curtin and Gen. Geary, by the cowards who hastened to deliver up the borough of York to Reliel Jubal in 1863. These are the fellows who will \vote for Hiester Clymer next October, and who sound the praises of Andrew Johnson to-day. Of this breed of dogs were those policemen who murdered the members of the New Orleans Conven tion in cold blood. We regret the prevalence of this spir it of violence. It is written : "They who take the sword shall per ish by the sword." The last bugbear of the Copperhead . press is the recommendation of the ed itor of the School Journal that loyalty to the Government be taught in Normal schools. One editor denounces loyalty as adhesion to a crowned head. Well, sir wiseacre, treason was originally a breach of allegiance to the Ring. There fore treason is laudabig is it not? The writ of ne eieat was Originally applica blep to subjects of a crow ed head.— Therefore that writ is not roper to be used in a republic, we sup se. It would seem that a li tle Yankee common sense might improve the con dition of our down Pennsylvania friends. If the Copperhead party would ex change itinne'of their editors 'Ter a few Yankee sehoOl boys, say from nine to twelve years Of age, it would be greatly profited. The Philadelphia " My Policy" Con ventioß has met, resolved, and adjourn ed. 1t was . 341 assemblage ot‘itien of various stripe . ; .some poisunotni; some, dead and buried politicians, some indif ferent. Men prophesied trouble from antagonistic elements. It was thought that Fernando INVood and Raymond, Vallandigham and. {4en. big, et Cetera, would not kindlyameet and mingle.— The Ray monil and Weed party declared that Wood and Vallandigimm ; should not be admitted to the Convention.— Wood and Val. swore big oaths that they would not be choused out of their seats. _ " So the parti-colored-Qonvention came together in great force, but not in so great force as was expected. Many of the presumed friends of "my policy" declined the- doubtful honor, and staid at home. But it was a big meeting, not withstanding, and.we are very glad it was. The Johnson men have exhibited their utmost strength, and it is not so alarming as the New-‘Orleaus riot. It compared favorably with the Copper head New York riot,of 1868, as to size. Well; the men of many minds met ; as we , before stated. Fernando Wood was persuaded to decline the honor of a seat. Vallandigham, after giving the Conventioners a big scare, said the game wasn't worth the candle, and waived his rights to a seat. Unwashed H. C. Deane, of lowa, said the g'ame was to sell out the Democracy, and he wasn't in'the market. So Deane slid. Geo. Francis Train, the Artemas Ward of politics, confessed to "Jonah," and gal lantly plunged overboard after Wood, Val., and Deane. This done, the bub bling caldron subsided, Doolittle took the chair, and all was as calm and se rene as a July morning in January. The Blairs were there . in full force.— Montgomery; the stately, did the helm, and the venerable daddy did the vener able. The Constitution. Mangled and bleeding' under radical manipulation, was brought in and laid on the opera tor's table. It was a solemn scene no doubt, and trying to the Constitution. Humanity demands that we should be lieve that chloroform was administered in due form before the neophytes began to cut and slash. But nobody must conclude that the snakes all left with Wood and \Tanen digham. By no means. Bill Bigler, Frank Hughes, who thought Pennsyl vania ought to have seceded in 1810, Dean Richmond, etc., - eta., were still left. In loving and sympathetic fel lowship with these, were hosts of fel lows who served In the rebel army and civil service—sincere, pure rebels, then and now, in chief - part. In fact, the bulk of the Convention was Coppery rebel, with a few men like Raymond, Weed, and Doolittle, to take the " cuss" off, but who rather• operated to put the " cuss" on, double thick. ' Cowan and the Blairs operated the machine, and one man who ought to have been asham ed of such company—Gen., Dix—played second fiddle. But he is t getting old, and may be pardoned. He holds an of fice by favor of the President; and pos sibly it is asking too much to require him to forget his Bread-and-Butter in remembering his country. Speaking of Bread-and-Butter—we are reminded that the Philadelphia Con vention was a placetnen's gathering.— Randall, P. M. General; Weed, con tractor; Raymond, just repudiated by his district, wants something; Cowan, who is about to go into oblivion, wants something; and' so on. It was a Con vention of Want-Somethings and Got Somethings, and Rebels,; and Copper heads, and dead-heads, and sore-heads, and—beg pardon—leather;heads. And the selection of Doolittle as Chairman, as the choice of the South, and the rejection of Vallandingham and Wood by-order of A. Johnson, only re mind us of the young things which stick their heads under the leaves in the woods, believing themselves hidden, leaving their bodies exposed to the gaze and grasp of the mischieVous boys who hunt them. Mr. Johnson, the trick is too transparent. It may gull some of the " poor white trash" of the South ; but nobody up here, where people read and think for - themselves, will fail to recognize in this Philadelphia concern the resurrected, but not purified, ghost of. the Chicago concern of 1864. The people look beneath the roth churned up by politicians, Mr. Pr sident. We have somewhere read a story of a man who suddenly and unaccountably fell sick, ancr was horribly haunted by a horse under his bed. The nbsurdity of the hallucination was urged without avail. He persisted in being miserably haunted by the imaginary horse. It turned out at last that the haunted man had stolen a horse, and remorse for the offence so harrowed his soul that he fell sick and became the victim of the illu sion stated. The case of this ppor devil presented itself with force to us as Ave read in the papers that the Philadelphia Conven tioners were boiling and bubbling about a canard set afloat by some fellow, to the effect that Gov. Curtin had called out the militia forthe purpose of dispersing the Convention. The ghosts of their victims at the Memphis and New Or leans massacres sorely trouble the rebels and their allies—the friends of " My Policy." They remember Damocles .and the sword, Memphis, and New Or leans, and tremble. ' In fact, there is a pale horse stalled under their beds, and a constant nightmare afflicting their guilty Souls. These morbid seekers after martyr dom, should recollect that Republicans do not suppreks Conventions sanctioned by any respectable authority. They do not assassinate their enemies, or imag ined enemies. They do not kill unarm ed negroes, either in New York or New Orleans. In short—Republicans recog nize the right of men peaceably to as semble and delibetate, at all times and places proper. •It is only Copperheads and rehals who fear the light of reason. The - schemes of the Copperheads an& sore-heads to fling this Congressional district, into the hands of the rebels, seems fated to " gang agley." We have reliable adviees from every county in the district, and these advices reduce - the opposition tO,llr. Wilson, among men claiming to have acted with the Repair Heap party fOrmerly, to a mininitim too ' contemptible for mention. In Clinton-. county there are two men whose devo tion to Republican principles is meas ured by_ their gratified lust for position. In Lycoming, about the same opposi tion -may—be. expected from the same class. - rroftlkow „that we are not alone In this conclusion, we give herewith the statement of the Clinton Republican : " For the information of our friends in the country, we would say that this effort to bring out a loan in opposition to Mr. Wilson, is not ap 'moved by a single prominent undisguised friend 0; the Congressiopal policy in this borough.— Two or three individuals, who call themselves Re publicans, but who are believed to be ready to :ell themselves to Mr. Johnson or anybody else for office, are the sole managers of the movement. •' The one supreme desire (4 all the Republi .•nns with whom we have conversed on the subject of the Congressional nomination, is that without dissent them should be a cordial endttr:ement of tho Congressionalitcheme of reconstruction'. To this scheme' Mr. Wilson has given uniform and unwavering suppOrt, and his renomination and .dection would be the most emphatic method of •tgnifying our approval of the action of Congress." We mention as oneof the wonders of the age, the publication of news from Europe of the same date as the N. York papers. The Tribune of the 14th pub lished European news of that day dated Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London. The tenor of these dispatches is unfa vorable to the peace of Europe. Louis Napoleon has demanded the Rhine as the boundary of France. Prussia has replied that she cannot permit France to profit by her territorial accessions.— The Viennese demand the abdicationOf Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. 4-- He has caused several hundred men io be arrested, and proposes to try them for high treason. Prussia guaranteks the posifession of Venetia to Italy.— These are stirring tidings. What the result may be cannot be seen at present, but that France means war is quite ap parent. It looks now as if 1866 would be a bloody year. There IS a rumor abroad that Hiester Clymer'ls about to be withdrawn as a candidate for ,Governor, and Cowan nominated in his stead. We respect Clymer more than Cowan, and shall re joice if the rumor be based on fact.— There is no man iu the State against whom we should so delight to makethe campaign as against Cowan. False to the principles to which he pretended so great devotion while" soliciting Repub lican votes for Senator in 1861, and a very lickspittle among lickspittles, the dwellers among these mountains would delight to bury him so deep that he could never more make his appearance upon the stage of public life. We do not feel disposed to blame our Po/Rival opponents in , this county . for drawing upon our party for names to give reputation to their party action.— But it is unjust to Mr. JoHN Fox, of Mainsburg, that they should have named him as one of their committee of vigi lance in that borough. Mr. Fox, so far from sympathizing with Copperhead ism, does not sven endorse President Johnson and his policy. He, believes that treason should be made odious, and that traitors should take back seats in the work of restoration. We note this that our opponents may not rely upon Mr. Fox's silence as consent, and so lose a committee man.
