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.
The Tribune makes the following dead
shot at the Philadelphia Copper-John
son Convention :
GRAND COMBINATION ENTERTAINMENT
and
GREAT MORAL EXHIBITION !!!
By A. Johnson a Co.'s Celebrated Troupe,
In the City of Philadelphia,
Commencing on Tuesday, Aug. 14, at
THE UNION WIGWAM,
which has been Entirely Reconstructed,
Completely Whitewashed, and
Thoroughly Ventilated
so as to render the Performances
Delightfully Cool!
Monsieur Remond, the wonder of the times,
who has astonished the country by so many ex
traordinary summersets, hoc kindly consented to
appear; and will perform before the amused and
delighted audience his inimitable fot of riding
Two Horses at Once,
Going at Pall Speed in Opp ,, site Directions
Signor Snardi, the World-Renowned Snake
Charmer, will give hip astounding exhibition of
Tamed Copperheads!!
. .
He will take the large.t. Copperheads into his
bands,
Twist them about his Neck ! and
Place them in his 80130112 ! !
showing hoi the most venomgns reptiles may be
rendered Perfectly Harmless by means of a
POLICY OF CONCILIATION !!!
MR. JOHNSON, the Unequalled Lion Tamer,
will display hie unequalled confidence of control
over the most ferocious brutes, by making his
colored man SAMS 0 enter the den,
Put His Head in the Lion's Month
And keep it There!!!
Thus presenting •to the audience a spectacle of
Startling Interest!
THE WONDERFUL HAPPY FAMILY, which
will not Do Little for the entertainment of the
spectators, is composed of reptiles and animals of
the fiercest and most diverse natures, colleted ex
pressly for this exhibition, and tamed with great
labor and expense to a state of Perfect Harmony !
Among them will be
Full Blooded Louisiana Bloodhounds from New
Orleans,
Monster Copperhead "Clement" from Ohio l
Mississippi Alligators, Northern Black Sheep!
and
Sacred Crocodiles from Memphis in Egypt,
which will SHED TEARS COPIOUSLY at the
bidding of their keeper.
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.

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.
