    A String of "Loyal" Pearls
The Richmond .Enquirer, noting the
fact that the names of Grant and Sher
man were hissed at a political meeting
in Louisville, Ly., significantly and na
turally coupling the names of Lee. and
Johnson, says:
" Not only in Kentucky, but through
out the Union and the world, Grant
and Sherman will decline in estimation,
while President Johnson and Gen. Lee
will be recognized in all their purity,
goodness and greatness."
The Louisville Journal unwittingly
tells the significant truth when. it says:
"The people of the South would ra
ther not be repregented at all in Con
gress, than represented by such of their
people as could get into that body un
der the operations of the test oath."
The rebel Gen. Forrest said in his
Memphis speech :
"There was no decision in the late
war, and we must now go to the ballot
box."
The Atlanta Era says: " Should the
Administration succeed, the Radical
Congress will be overthrown, its acts
pronounced illegal, and the body itself
liable to dispersion as an illegal and se
ditious assemblage. In either case, it is
not safe to predict th4t the controversy
will be settled without an appeal to
arms."
The Mobile Tribune, speaking of the
New Orleans massacre, says : "It was
well done. Even if five times, or five
hundred times the sacrifice of life had
been made to accomplish the purpose, it
would still have been well done."
The New Orleans riot is to be dupli
cated, according to the Nashville (Ten
nessee) Banner, which says: "We are
shown the natural end of the violent
schemers who are plotting for power in
Louisiana. Such will be the end of the
same men, duplicated, here in Tennes
see. They are already hastening their
own destruction, by passing the bounds
not only of patience, but of prudence
and human forbearance. The people of
Tennessee are a sober and peaceably dis
posed class, but it is dangerous to med
dle with them too far."
Pittsburg Soldiers' Convention
The following platform of principles
was adopted by the Soldiers' Conven
tion which recently assembled at Pitts
burg:
" Resolved, That the faction of the
present Congress in passing tbepending
constitutional amendment is wise, pru
dent and just. It - clearly defines Amer
ican citizenship, and guarantees all his
rights to every citizen. It places on a
just and equal basis the right of repre
sentation, making the vote of a man in
one State equally potent with the Tote
of another man in any State . It right
eously excludes from places of honor
and trust the chief conspirators, guilti
est•rebels, whose perjured crimes have
drenched the land in fraternal blood.—
It puts into the very frame of our Gov
ernment the inviolability of the nation
al debt, and the nullity forever of all
obligations contracted in support of the
rebellion.
" Resolved, That it is unfortunate for
the country that these propositions have
not been received in the spirit of con
ciliation, clemency and fraternal feel
ing In which they were offered, as they
are the mildest terms ever granted to
subdued rebels.
" Resolved, That the President, as an
executive officer, has no right to a policy
as against the legislative department of
the tlevernment ; that his attempt to
fasten is scheme of reconstruction up
on the country, was dangerous as it'is
unwise ; his acts in sustaining it have
retarded the restoration of peace and
unity; they have converted conquered
rebels into impudent Claimants to rights
which they have foifeited and placeti_
which they have desecrated. If con
summated, it would render the sacrifice
of the nation useless, the loss of the lives
of our'buried comrades vain, and the
war in which we have so gloriously tri
umphed, what his present friends in
Chicago in 1884 declared to he a failure.
" Resolved, That the right of _the con
queror to legislate for the conquered has
t t
been recognized by thepublic law of all
civilized nations; byte operation of
that law for the eonperva ton of the good
of the whole country, Congress has the
undoubted right to establish measures
for the conduct of the revolted States,
and to pass all acts of legislation that
are necessary for the complete restora
tion of the Union.
" Resolved, That when the President
claims that, by the aid of the army and
navy, he might have made himself Dic
tator, he insulted every soldier and sail
or in the republic. He ought distinctly
to understand that the tried patriots of
this nation can never be uzmxi to over
throw civil liberty nor. popular govern
ment.
"Resolved, That the neutrality j aws
should be so amended as to give thes„ 2 ll_
est liberty to the citizen, consistentwl*
the national faith that the great Union
Republican party is pledged to sustain
liberty and equality of rights every
where; and therefore we tender to all
people struggling for freedom our sym
pathy and cordial co-operatOn.
" Resolved, That the Union men of
the South, without distinction of race
or color, are entitled to the gratitude of
every loyal soldier and sailor who served
his country in suppressing the rebell
ion, and that in their present dark hours
of trial, when they are persecuted by
thousands solely because they are now
and have been true to their Govern
ment, we will not prove recreant to our
obligations, but will stand by and pro
tect with our lives, if necessary, those
brave men who remain true to us when
all around are false and faithless.
"Resolved, That in reorganizing the
army, justice to the volunteer officers
and soldiers demands that faithful and
efficient service in the-field ought ever
to have place in the army and navy of
the Union."
ABOMINABLE.—In the speech of Cly
mer at Uniontown, as reported for the
Pittsburg Post, we find the following
passage :
By the assassination of Abraham
'so,
Linco 11, Andrew Johnson became Pres
ident of the United States. If, under
his administration, harmony should
come again to the land, who will not see
in the auspicious event the spirit of God
moving over troubled wat e r B , ,,
Are we to understand that the spirit
of which Mr. Clymer so profanely
speaks strengthened the heart and gui
ded the arm of that Democratic hero, J.
Wilkes Booth, and enabled him to bring
about that "auspicious event"? Cer
tain it is, that to Booth Mr. Clymer and
his party are indebted for their present
momentary gleam of hope ; and equal
ly certain it is, that if the party , who
are' now rallying around Andrew John
son shall be successful, the assassin of
Lincoln will be politically canonized as
their greatest benefactor. Such is the
depth to which an alliance with op
pression and treason can sink men, who,
if free, would be respectable. What
are we to make of the language we have
quoted, but the beginning of an effort
to rescue the memory of that assassin
from an immortality of infamy, and
give him a place among the honored
agents of Heaven ?—Gazette.

RUM olifi of frauds to be attempted by
the Coppetjohnsons in the interest of
Mr. Theodore P. Wright, their candi
date for Congress, are prevalent. We
cannot step to ferret out, the facts upori
which thesertnriors are founded. It is
too late to explore in that direction ; so
we embrace this opportunity to warn
Republicans in every election district:
lst—To place active and reliable men
on guard as challengers, early in the
day, with orders to remain there until
the polls close. Any attempt to colo
nize must be resisted to the utmost.
Strangers offering to vote should be
promptly challenged, and questioned
under oath as to their late residence,
their business in the loCality, and as
to the length of their stay. If it ap
pear that any such person is there for
the purpose of voting, with no inten
tion to remain as a resident of the dis
trict, and the Board shall be satisfied
that be is not a bona fide resident, his
''vote should be at once rejected.
2d—Put none but active and reliable
Republicans in charge of the tickets.
See to it that no man is deceived by
tickets upon which the name of Wright
or Clymer has been gummed oxipasted.
Very likely the Copperheads will be on
hand with these gumbacks, and endea
vor to substitute Clymer's name for
GEARY'S on the State ticket, and on
the ticket labeled- " County," they
may try to substitute Wright for Wil
son. Be vigilant from morning till the
polls close. The Republican ticket is
printed at the head of this column, and
any other ticket purporting to be the
regular Repupliean ticket, is a fraud,
and any person circulating it shall be
prosecuted.
So, friends, as you would avert the
usurpations threatened by Andrew John
son, be on your guard against possible
fraud at the hands of our unscrupulous
opponents. Look out for lies and lying
handbills. Look out for attempts to de
bauch the unsuspecting and :dissipated
with - whiskey. Be on the alert. Work
as you never worked before, for the eat
cation of the republic luinga - upon our
untied efforts for GEARY and Wu.sas
next Tuesday.
Look to your polling lists, Republi
cans. If any man living far from the
polls shall not have voted by 3 o'clock,
send for him at once. Let no Republi
can be left at home next Tuesday.
Will our friends see to it that the polls
are opened promptly at eight o'clock in
the morning of next Tuesday! Many
tiou; t s men come early to the polls in or
der to;vn . te and return to their work.—
By no nfockus keep such men waiting.
Open early.
Remember thiak Stephen F. Wilson
voted for the bill gaming soldiers $3OO
bounty., -
Remember that he vote*.tu i ainst re
clueing that bounty to $lOO. ember
bill
that. Andrew Johnson approved
to increase the pay of Congressirt. %
while Mr. Wilson voted against it.
When Gen. Geary was fighting the
battles of our common country, heater
Clymer was voting against organizing
the Pennsylvania Reserve corps; against
increasing the pay of the soldiers; a
gainst giving soldiers the right to vote.
Which do you want for Governor? Gea
ry, or Clymer? •
If you think that rebels ought not to
sit as jurymen on their own trial, vote
for Stephen F. Wilson for Congress.
But if you think that men who fought
for foir years to destroy the Govern
ment ought to control legislatiOn, vote
for Wright.
If you think the President is superior
to the people, who created him, vote the
Copperhead ticket.
But if you think that Presidents are
the servants of the people, vote for Gea
ry, Wilson, and the Republican ticket.
Every man who" 'votes next Tuesday
will do one of two Ithings :
If be believes that traitors should be
punished, and be assigned back seats in
the work of reconstruction, he will vote
for Geary, Wilson, and the entire Re
publican ticket;
But if he believes treason to be a tri
fling crime, and that the men who for
four years vainly tried to destroy the
government, ought to help to make the
laws, and sit as jurymen ou their own
trial, he must vote for Hiester Clymer,
Theodore Wright, and the whole Cop
perjohnsou ticket.
REPUBLICANS
Next Tuesday you will lip to the polls
and deposit the most importaut vote
you ever east; the most important vote
you ever will be - privileged to east, in
our candid judgment.
Think of it: Andrew Johnson gays
in so many words that the present Con
gress is illegal—is not the Congress of
the United States, but of only 'twenty
-five States
If it be an illegal Congress, then its
every act has been illegal. Because . le
gality cannot issue out of illegality.
If the present Congress be illegal,
then every Congress which sat during
the war was illegal;, for only a portion
of the States were represented in the
thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth Con
gresses.
It follows, therefore, that if these Con
gresses were illegal, their acts were ille
gal, and the laws passed by them are
null and void.
So, if Andrew Johnson be correct,
there is not a dollar of Government pa
per afloat, whether it be greenback,
bond, interest-bearing note, or national
bank paper, which is worth one penny.
For these evidences of debt were crea
ted by law, and the laws creating them
were enacted by the 37th and 38th Con
gresses.
Now if these Congresses were only
"assumed" Congresses, they were ille
gal; if they were illegal, their acts were
illegal and without force or effect; and
if their acts are null, then there is noth-
Mg more certain than that rebel judges
and rebel officials will so declare them,
If given an opportunity to do so.
This would involve the repudiation of
the Union debt incurred to put down
treason. This, In its turn, would in
volve the destruction of the credit of
the nation. And with the death of na
tional credit, universal and wide-spread
ruin would come to this country.
These are the dangers - ahead. These
are the rocks to be given a wide berth.
Stephen F. Wilson, and his fellow
candidates on the Republican ticket,
believe that every Congress which has
existed during the rebellion, or since the
rebel surrender, has been strictly legiti
mate, and the acts of each legal. Mr.
Wilson voted for the amendment to the
Constitution which declares that the
debt of the nation shall be paid, dollar
for dollar, and that no future Congress
shall assume to pay the rebel debt, or
vote compensation to former owners of
slaves now free.
Make the 40th Congress as earnestly
and radically Republican as the present
Congress, and there ryill be no more talk
about the illegality of a Congress com
posed of loyal men. Andrew Johnson
must be taught, and jthe people must
teach him, that he is not competent to
impeach the Congress of the U. States.
The Constitution places the Congress
above the President. The President
must keep his place. The people are to
define his function in the Government
next Tuesday.
A vote for S. F. Wilson is a vote for
the inviolability of the national debt,
and a vote for the repudiation of all
claims of rebels upon the Government
for debts incurred in the attempt to de
stroy the nation ; it Is also a vote against
compensating slaveholders for their
slaves.
In these days it behooves the people
to put men of tried courage and truth
in high places. Where would Pennsyl
vania have been, had not .A.ndie Curtin
been elected in 1880, and in 1888?
Thibk of this and remember : That
Pliester Clymer sympathizes with the
rebels; that he gave them aid and com
fort in the period of war; and then re
member that Gen. Geary was a-field at
the head of his division, fighting his
country's battles, for more than four
years,
Which of these men shall control the
destinies of the Commonwealth.
These are the l questions to be decided
next Tuesday. Let them be decided by
overwhelming majorities for the Ikeprib
lican candidates.
FIFTEEN TEIGUSAND honorably dis
charged Union soldiers, with their bat
tle-flags, assembled in Convention at
-Pittsburg on the 24th ultimo. It was
the grandest Convention ever assembled
in any country. There were no desert
ers, skedaddlers, nor camp followers,
and no endorsers of the policy of An
drew Johnson. To Mr. Johnson's dec
laration that he might have wielded the
army of the United States to make him
Dictator, these fifteen thousand men re
turned an indignant denial.
Mr. L. E. Dudley, a private ea:dales,
"as made temporary Chairman, and
Gen-Cox was reported for permanent
Chairtb.m. Altogether it was a Con
vention tube proud of, and must teach
Andrew JohAeou that he can have few
friends and supt=erters among the "boys
in blue" save thtilis who have received
promotion in payment for their aposta
sy, mad the small host of deserters and
camp followers.
Take care of your tickets. Nilii&e Eal -
pie arrangements to have the tickets
cut, folded and arranged for the voter.
There will be three ballots, under the
head of " State," " Judiciary," and
"County." Let none but true-blue men
handle the tickets. Be vigilant and
watchful.
The crowd of converts to the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction is be
coming large. Raymond, of the N. Y.
Times, is out in favor of the constitu
tional amendment securiag equal rights
before the law to all persoris-bam or nat
uralized within the United States, • • --
lag representation in Congress upon the
number of qualified voters, disfranchis
ing all leading rebels and traitors, de
claring the war debt of the U. States sa
cred and to be paid, dollar for dollar,
and repudiating forever the Confederate
war debt, as well as compensation for
slaves liberated by the proclamation of
President Lincoln.
The'"N. Y. Herald also declares in fa
vor of the amendment, and urges the
South to adopt it at once.
!.` My policy" is being thrown over
board by its former friends. P00r41..f.t
HENRY J. ALAYmoND, in conjunction
with the rebel press in the South, is
hinting at an usurpation by the Presi
dent, to take place in December. It is
no more nor less than this: The as
sum ed-to-b e members of Congress Irmo
the rebel States and the COpperhead
members from the North will meet to
gether, and the President will recog
nize them as the legitimate Congress.
Under these circumstances the people
of Tioga county would do well to ask
Theodore Wright which Congress he is
running for—the Congress of the peo,
pie, or that which may possibly be cre,
ated by one man, Andrew Johnson.
We say to the people what will not be
gainsayed, we guess: That if the peo
ple of Pennsylvania do as the people of
Vermont and Maine have just done,
Andrew Johnson will not think of re
cognizing a Congress of unrepentant
rebels and sneaking Copperheads.
Every man to his post. Let the free
men of Tioga speak loud enough to
shake the windows in the White House,
and teach Andrew Johnson that they,
at least, will countenance no usurpa
tions.. Congress must make the laws,
not any one man. Congress will fix the
terms of reconstrucrou, not the Presi
dent. Usurpers cannot live peaceably
in the United State's.
The President's policy is producing
its legitimate fruits in Texas. One coun
ty—Washington—is lu a state of insur
rection, and the old rebels—repentaut
and pardoned, you know—are under
arms again: Gen. Sheridan has left N.
Orleans for the seat of war.
Had Andrew Johnson held a taut rein
upon the rebels, there would not have
been a single attempt at revolt. The
villains regard Johnson as their cham
pion, and presume to defy the U. States
authorities, therefore.
Republicans, we go to the, polls next
Tuesday for the express purpose of in
structing Andrew Johnson• If we roll
up our biggest majority for Geary and
8. F. Wilson, the President will find
himself instructed, and the worst will
be averted.
Hurra for Oregon! Her Legislature
has adopted the_constitutional amend
ment, known as the Congressional plan
of reconstruction. Six States have now
adopted the amendment, and if we mis
take not every Northern and West"ern
State will have adopted it before the 4th
of March 1867.
The Congressional Globe says that
Congress voted to give the white soldier
$lOO more bounty than to the negro sol
dier. The (Robe is the official organ of
Congress.
The Copperheads say that Congress
voted . to give the negros3oo bounty, and
only $lOO to the white soldier.
Now which lies?
Every one who says that Congress vo
ted more bounty to the negro than to
the white soldier, wilfully lies. The
negro does not get a dollar under the
additional bounty act.
We have never seen a word of denun
ciation of the New Orleans massacre in
a Copperjohnson newspaper.
We have never seen a word of denun
ciation of the atrocious treatment of
Union prisoners of war by the rebels at
Lndersonville, in a Copperjohuson
per.
But we often see allusions to Grant,
as a butcher, Sherman, as an incendia
ry, and Butler, as a beast, in these pa-
P Ol / 4
And Just now these vile sheets are
raging over the ill-treatment of Andrew
Johnsdn by the people of Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania. Their ox is gored.
That's what's the matter.
Republicans ought to feel obliged to
the Copperhead papers of this district
for their"publication of the record of S.
F. Wilson. Purified of the muddy com
ments which the divine Orvis has ap
pended, the record is one which will
commend Wilson to every loyal man.
But for the fact that we have msde often
allusion-to his record In Congress, we
would compile this one published by
Orvis, without hismistifying comments.
MT. THEODORE WRIGHT has written
a letter endorsing President Johnson.—
We are glad of it, and presume Mr.
Johnson feels better. If a copy of the
letter has not been sent to the President,
we respectfully suggest that the omis
sion be corrected. In these days, when
Presidents make long pilgrimages, cost
ing the people $150,090, for the purpose
of villifylng Congress, every word of
sympathy and encouragement, even
MID Wear tat,- - swain=
less be appreciated.
ST.EPIIEN .F. WILSON voted against
an increase of salary. The bill to in
crease salaries of Congressmen was mov
ed by a Copperhead, voted for by a ma
jority of Copperheads in Congress, and
approved by Andrew Johnson. Now
who's to blame?
Who's to blame? Toe the mark.
If you believe that treason should. be
made odious, vote for Geary, Wilson,
and the entire Republican ticket
But if yoULbelieve that traitori are as
good as loyalfmen, vote for Cipner, and
Wright. I,
Whatever laws were made by the Con
gress at its late session, were, with two
exceptions, approved by Andrew John
son. So if Congress voted more bounty
to the negro than to the white soldier,
the President approved the act.
But Congress didi °thing of the kind
On the morning the day that Ma
jor Andre was captured by Paulding
and Van Wert, Beiedict Arnold stood
before the country uhimpeached and un
impeachable. lie was the hero of Sar
atoga, and a man *whose patriotism had
never been questioied.
But Benedict Arnold was not a true
man ; for British gold, and preferment
in the line of his vocation, purchased
him, body and soul.
So, also, may It be with men who
went to the front during the war of the
rebellion: It matters not how well they
fought then, they cannot show a better,
or more soldierly record, than Benedict
Arnold had made up to the day of-his
treason. Men are to be judged by the
average of their lives, unless they crown
'lie by perfidy or 'crime. The crown is
" io him who remains fait/if-11 to the
end."
As Benedict Arnold forfeited his claim
to gratitude, even in view of his great
services,lw his perfidy, so no soldier of
the late Niqu• can plead, nor will he be
permitted to plead his services as a set
off against perfidy and lack of stability.
HIT HIM AGAIN.—The Pittsburg
Gaze tie administers the following sock
dologer to Mr. Hiester Clymer:
"You made a speech at Uniontown
on the 28th of last month, which we
find reported in the Democratic organ
of Fayette county. This report we con
clude to be a fair one. •
"In this speech, as reported, you
made an admission you would not have
made two years ago. This is it:
"' The war was waged for three pur
poses. First, to preserve the Union in
tact; second, to sustain the Constitu
tion ; and, third, to enforce the laws.'
" This is the plain, unvarnished truth.
In view of it, we want you to explain
why you steadily refused, in your pine
in the Senate, to vote men and money
for the prosecution of the War. No
dodging, sir. Was it because you were
on the side of the rebels, and hence op
posed to the preservation of the Union,
the sustaintneut of the Constitution,
and the enforcement of the laws?"
