confidently hope that all preliminaries

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
HON. n. W. WILLIAMS FOR SUPREME
JUDGE I
The Republican State Convention
met at Williamsport on Wednesday last
at 12 M. The Convention was called to
order by Col. Jordan, and Hon Jno.
Scott, ot Huntingdon, was chosen per
manent Chairman.
Tho following names were presented
as candidates for Judge of the Supreme
Court 1 Williams, of Allegheny 1 Perry,
of Schuylkill s Builer, of ( healer 1 Frank
lin, ot Lancister ( Gordon, f Ji ffersnn
Lmn, ot Center 1 Talor,of Huntingdon. ;
William, of Tioga ; Comley, ot Mon
tour) Thayer, of Philadelphia, aud
Pearson, id Dauphin.
At the ninth ballot Williams 0! Alle
gheny, having a hii'j. rity cd tho votes
oast, was declared the nominee for Su.
preme Judge, and on motion the noini
nation was made unanimous.
Col. Frank Jordan was continued as
chairman of Slate Cei.tral Committee.
Ihe Convention worked in nerfeot
harmony and although the contest for
, , ,. b.
Ilia I iiHsvuliiSk it- a .1 1 . .
the Judgeship was. animated, no bitter
feeluio was nianitested.
The following is ihe platform adopted
by the Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania.in se-sion in Williamsport,
ou Wednesday :
''The Repu licanst f Pennsylvania, np.
pealing sg ini 10 the pe ple.take pleasure
111 recalling the repented
rccasions on
which the voters ol the Commonweai'h
havt sustained and ratified theii candi
dates and principles s and strongly ini.
pressed with the importance of the isues
involved at t' 0 ensu ng election, make
this declaration of their opinions und
purposes ;
First That in the name ot a nation
saved from tieason, v. e demand security
against its repetition, by exacting licm
ihe vanquished such guaiaiitees a will
make treason so odious, as lo be forever
impossible.
Second. That, as in the past wo cor
dially justified the administration cd'
Abraham Lincoln in all necessary nets
tor suppressing the rebellion, we record
it as cur judgment that the administra
tion ot Andiew Johnson has been chief. I
ly f'aitlilt'.s because it has failed to try to
gather up and fix in the organic statute
law the great principles which the war
ha settled, and without whose adoption
as a rulu of action, peace is but a delu
sion und a snare.
"Third. That in completion of the
task ot reconstruction so finnlj as to be
perpetual, it is indispensable that traitors
beuleu in the field shall not find n sane,
ttiaty in the courts , that the law shall
not be tortured to justify or palliate the
crimes of which our country's enemie's
have been guilty taiid that the law of
war shall be so distinctly declared by
the courts that no disturbing and para,
lyzing doubts may tver be raised, as in
18G1, respecting the essential rights ol
the Government, or personal dtuics of
citizens.
"Fourth That this Convention.Bpeak
ing for the Repub.icana of Pennsylvania,
unreservedly indorse the reconstruction
measuies of the Thitt-ninth and Fortieth
Congress as based upon sound princi
ples, essentially just. und wise, and prom
ising an early, loyal and permanent ies
toi'ition ot the rebel Slates to their share
in tho government of the Union 1 that
we denounce ind condemn the ctl n t ot
President Johnson through his pliant At
torney General, and a majority of the
Cabinet, to evade those laws, by inter
fetiiig to obstruct and prevent their en
forcement 111 ihe spititin which they
were eimcti d ; and (hat we call upon
Congress soon to meet, to promptly and
decisively dispose of this new nullifica
tion. Filth That the thanks of the loyal
men of this commonwealth are hereby
tendered to Major General Sheridan and
Major General Sickles for their publicly
declared unwillingness lobe made the
instruments, in the star. ling ami truthful
words, ot the former in opening under
Pnsideiitial dictation, a broad and
macadamized way tor perjury and fiattd
tottiut'l on in pursuit of ihe coveted
repossession of political power in the
rebel States, and that this convention
101 fideiitly expect that Gen, Grant will
vindicate his pa-t record by cordiallv
su'-taiiiing them in their putuoiio efforts
to execute the law.

forts to compel the release of Jefferson
Davis without qite-tiou tor bis crimes,
were a reproach -to the administration ot
justice, and uu insult to tho wlnde people
01 tne nun in.
"Seveuth. That, warned by post mis
fortunes, we ask ihat the Supreme Court
ot the State be placed in harmony with
the political opinions of a innj nity of
tho people, to the end lhat the Court
may never again, by unjust decisions,
seek to sot aside laws vital to the nation,
nor imperil the safety of the public se
curities, nor impair ihe operation of the
bounty, pension and tax laws which
were required for public defense, nor in
any way thwart the measures which were
essential to tho pnhho protection, but
that, on ths other hand, it may become
and remain a fit and faithful interpreter
of the liberal spit it of the ago, the bul.
wark of public faith, and an impartial
and fearless exponent ol the equal rights
ot man.
"Eighth. That protection being a
cardinal feature of the Republican uieed,
we trust that suoh legislation will be
secured at tbe earliest period as will at.
ford adeqtiato protection to American
industry.
"Ninth. That, in conformity with tho
pledges given last fall by both candidates
for Govornor, we now demand the en
actment of a tree railroad law, by which
the enterpiise cfour people may be
stimulated and the resources of the
'Common wealth developed.
"Tenth. That in Governor John W.
Geary we recognize an honest and
courugeous public servant, who in tho
chaia ot Siate is adding freshness to
laurels g dlanily won 111 the war.
"Eleventh. That the gratitude of the
people to the soldiers and sailors whose
bravery met and overthrew tho sluve
holders' rebellion, should havo repeated
and emphatic expression, and that we
heartily disapprove of and condemn the

that "I fully concurred with the statement

In before tho publ.c.
Tho fiist part of this letter, as Mr. Mont
gomery snys, was drawn up by linnsM!. It
was written on a half sheet of toolsctip paper
ana occup.cu tne wnoio 01 tne nrst page, unci
about two or three Hues nt tho top of ttio sec
ond. I wave all question ns to the modesty
or good taste ho exhibited in drawing 11,1 a let
ter addressed lo himself as WW William
Montgomery since in view of his recent con
duct he hud good reason to couchidn that un
less ho guvo his own name that prefix no ono
else would ever think of doing it for lilin and
J hero take occasion to say that t withhold my
signature, not on that account, but solely be
cause I could not subscribe to tho statomants
contained in the body of the letter itself.
Though Mr. Montgomery has published the
letter with my nanio appended b it, I here
assert most solemnly, and am willing to take
my oath that never titnedtlutt mrt of Hi This
much in regard to th it portion of tho letter
written by Mr. Montomcry, which, as I havo
already stated, occupied the whole of tho first
page ol the paper, an 1 about two or throe lines
nn the second. JNow lor the second part. To
get lid of tho Importunity of his son w ho
seemeu uetermineii to navo my name 111 some
shape, I took the pencil and beginning on tho
second page nt least seven or eight Hues below
where Mr. Montgomery had loft off writing,
wrote to him as near as I can rccnllut as fol
lows t "Mr. Montgomery 1 You have sent me
s paper for mo to etidorso.I cannot endorso it.
Tho window was broken." This I am posi
tive Is the sttbstanco of all I wrote, and so far
as I can recollect, tho above are tho very words
I made use of. Certain Ism that all I wroto
did not occupy three lines on tho paper I
signed ray name to It and handed the paper
to A. J. Montgomery who remarked to Miller
with an oath, that it was about time they were
leaving, and thcroupon they took their depar
ture. These are the simple fuels In rvguid to
the paper. I never put my nmiiu to it except
lo one place, mid Unit was lnmiudiutcly at the
close of wind 1 wrote nirscll as as above stal
ed. Judifi) of my surprise, then, when I bhw
the letter 111 the lievirw and fixamimr wllli my
name appended to the part written by Mr.
Montgomery, and found lhat the two or three
lines I hud written were w holly stricken out
and tolally dill'erent matter placed over my
gcm.ine Bigiuituru. That I wrote tho second
part or the letter as published by Mr. Mont
domery. I utterly deny. I admit that my
sinnalure as It appears hi the second place on
the letter is genuine, but repeat Unit what I
wrote above it litis been erased and other
matter substituted. Oi this I havo satisfied
mysill f 11 mi an inspection of the oiiuinal letter
I at the uilli e ol lw JM,w Examiner where
jur. Aioni nunnery ieli it for that purpose The
second part of the letter is a -tolerable imita

with my handwriting.
