TIIE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, —
During Lincoln's Administration, it was
held by all classes of Republicans to be the
liuty of the Democratic party to sup
port the President. What was duty then
is duty now ; and we say to all patriotic
Union men in the Republican party who
were sincere, and who desire to support
him now, that they have given evidence of
of their consistency. Such men will not
complain at the Democratic parly because
it is wiih them. They should rather re
joice that such is the case, because it gi/es
additional strength, and answers to the de
mand that "Democrats should support the
President."
DEATH OF Da. DAVID JAYNE. —We
yesterday published a dispatch relative to
the illness of this gentleman at Philadel
phia. He die lin that city yesterday af
ternoon. Tliis gentleman r.as originally a
citizen of Saltm N. J., but at an early day
of his life he nzowd to Philadelphia, and
started a patent medicine business, and by
advertising made an immense fortune.—
Dr. Jayne was a public-spirited man, and
has tlune more to ornament Philadelphia
than any of its native-born citizens. The
Doctor was born in Monroe county, Pa ,
aud his father was H Baptist clergymen.
He was taken to New Jersey, by his par
ents when quite a child.
FENIAN MEETINGS. —There was
immense gathering of Fenians at Jones'
AY ood, New York city, on yesterday, (Sun
day,) one hundred thousand people being
present. ' It was ore of the largest meet
ings ever held on this continent. Upwards
of two hundred circles were represented,
am! four stands wt re erected for the speak
ers. Judge Connolly presided at the prin
cipal stand. The enthusiasm was unboun
ded. Several city railroad cars on their
way towards the place of meeting were so
crowded that they were broken down.—
Head-Centre O'.Mahoney, George Francis
Train, Judge Connolly, and many others
addressed the enthusiastic meeting.
"THE GOVERNMENT." —It would go
hard with the Ah >lition journals to-day if
"loj a!tv" t were to be measured-by their own
definition, and enforced by the appliances
which they have advocated as necessary,
salutary and law ful during the past five
ye; rs. Fort Lafayette would he crowded
to overflowing, and there would be a head
in the old Capitol for every pane of glass
iu its windows. The newspapers which
have made merry over the suppression of
their neighbors, would themselves go into
eclipse, and their editors,instead of penning
lively laudations of the latest arbitrary ar
rest, would be meditating on the power of
lliu handcuff as a moral and political agen
cy, under the cosy-cover of a casemate.

mer, th.o nominee of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania for Governor, was introduced

All the gentlemen voted for, for Gov
ernor, were invited to the Speaker's stand.
After order had somewhat been restor
ed, Mr. Clymer was introduced by the
chairman, when lie spoke as follows:
Speech of Ileister Ciyuier,
To you, mv honored friend, Mr. Presi
dent; to you, gentlemen of the Conven
tion, and through you the Democracy of
Pennsylvania, 1 return my profound thanks
for the honor you have done me. I feel
that it comes laden with vast responsibili
ties ; that to discharge them propoily de
mands faith, courage, hope—firm reliance
upon the enduring principles of our creed
and unyielding devotiou to the rights and
libel ties of the people. He who would
lead you to success shoujd stand unaweo
by the presence of usurped power; unin
fluenced by the blandishment of patronage.
He should be the stern advocate of civil
liberty, the bold defender of constitutional
light and privilege, the uncompromising
opponent of official and legislative corrup
tion, .lie hearty supportei of all that tends to
promote the welfare and happiness of our
whole people, to develop the boundless re
sources of this State and advance her ma
terial and social prosperity. Then, too, he
should stand the avowed and undoubted
champion of the Union of these States, in
its original purity, ready and willing, if
need be, to sacrifice life itself defending it
from the assaults of all enemies, be they
Southern rebels or Northern disunionists,
be they the bad, bold men who have dared
bare the sword and proclaim their treason
by deed*, or the dastardly miscreants vho,
under the garb of loyalty and guise of
friendship, would undermine and destroy
it. •
These I humbly conceive should he
among the elements ir the composition ot
him who would lead you in the impending
civil contest. lam painfully conscious of
my own inability to approach this standard
of personal aud political excellence. Rut
if tire desire to do right may in some
measure compensate for the lack of ability
to achieve it; if a sincere purpose to be
guided in every act lv the supreme law of
the land, and in all thing? to he governed I
by the view? and teachings of the sainted
heroes ami patriots who framed it, may
challenge the confidence aud support of
the good men of this Commonwealth, then
to them and their verdict do I appeal with
unshaken confidence; and through you,
gentlemen of the Convention, who repre-'
sent such goodly numbers of them, 1 make
that appeal. Tell them I know no higher
law than the Constitution, of which Jeffer
son and Madi-on were the founders, Jackv
son the defender, Webster the expounder,
and of which Johnson is the upholder! —
Tell them that I know no other standard
of political action than equal and exact
justice to all, special privileges to none;
that I have no other political creed than
that given to us by Washington and Jeffer
son ; that 1 believe in tire social superior
ity and will ever maintain tin* political su
premacy of the white race; that I worship
at no political .altar whose f'Undatlons are
not based upon the sacred Union of these
immortal States ! Tell them in advance
for me of its peril, and conjure them by
the love of past memories, by the blood
and carnage cf our civil strife, by the dan
gers Of the present, and by all the hopes
of the future, to rally to tlie support of
him, w ho in this crisis of our country's fate
by a mysterious Providence of God, has
been entrusted with the helm of Stale !
To them lie ha? appealed in terms of pa
triotic devotion to his whole country.—
Above the wild storm of prejudice, fanati
cism and treason now raging in the Na
tional Capital, clear and loud are heard the .
words of the First Andrew, re-echoed and
defiantly reasserted by the Secoud, " The
Federal Union , it must be preserved?"—
Thev are the watch-words of national safe
ty. They embody the holiest aspiration
of every true patriot, and afford a platform
broad and strong enough for good men of
all parties, no matter how wide tl eir dif
ferences of opinion may heretofore have
been.
Let -us dedicate ourselves to this great
purpose, with unselfish and unshaken faith,
that its accomplishment will be its greatest
reward. Let us go forth, bearing aloft the
banner of our country, emblazoned with
the words —"The Constitution," "The
Federal Union !" Let its appeal to the
whole people—from the Northern border
to tlie Maryland line, from our inland sea
to the Delaware—ai dif public virtue be
not dead, if'patriotism be not extinct, if
devotion to principle still lives, if treason
(though latent it may be) is still abhored,
then indeed, in October next, will victory
—thrice blessed victory —crown our ef-J
forts, bringing with it a Constitution pre- '
served, a Union restored, a land redeemed
from the madness and folly which now
threaten to destroy it.
That in some measure 1 may be of as
sistanee in producing such results, I hum-1
bly pray. Upon you, gentlemen, and
and those whom you represent, I shall
lean for support and guidance, and appeal
dug to the God ofour fathers to prosper us
in all bur elTorts for the redemption and
salvation of our country, I may not doubt
that triumphant success will surely crown i
our labors.
DECLINE IN RELIGION. —There arc now
over seventy vacant pupils in the State of
Connecticut. In the whole of the New
England States there are some three hun
dred in the same condition, with abejt five
hundred more, where the clergymen do
not earn day-laborer's wages. 'Die true
reason of this is, religion itself has not de -
clined, hut the Parsons took to spouting
politics about five years ago, and instead
of giving religious advice ami instruction
to their congregations, they disgusted their
followers, and the result is, the war-parson [
business is completely " played out."
DON'T Fit.—Tlic Gist resolution of the
shoddy platform say?:
- "This Convention here renew their pledge
unfaltering devotion to the Federal Union,
and repeat their determined purpose that
it shall be preserved
Resolution five says:
"The work of reorganizing the late insur
rectionary States to their proper relations
to the Union, necessarily devolves upon
the law-making power, and that until such
action shall be taken no State lately in
insurrection is entitled to representation in
either branch of Congress,''
It is clear from this, that their "unfal
tering devotion" is pledged only to that,
"new Union" for which, a little while ago,
they were all clamorous, and for the crea
tion of wLich eighty raids, in the shape of
amendments, are now organized against
the Federal Constitution in the Rump Con
gress. No matter how loud these original
sixteen starred Northern republic disun
ionists may prate about their "devotion ' to
the Union, so long as they join Thad Ste
vens in declaring that a fragment of a Con
gress may keep eleven sovereign States
out of the Union. They are not for the
Union but against it. They are simply
fir the centralization ofpower in the hands
of a few unscrupulous politicians; for the
ignoring of the laws and institutions of the
land; for the destruction of constitutions,
and the entire subversion of rights belong
ing to States and to individuals.
Andrew Johnson takes the view that
those eleven States were never out of the
Union, consequently that they need no
" reorganizing" from a territorial condition
as above demanded; that the people in
arms having been conquered as in the Un
ion, and as they are now being taxed and
governed as in the Union aud as owing al
legiance to the Federal Government, they
art unquestionably entitled to Congression
al representation and should have it—the
only question to be made being the quali
fications of membership specified by the
, Federal Constitution. This view the peo
ple of Pennsylvania will sustain at the com
ing election, by casting their votes for the
candidate of the Democratic party —Hon.
1 leister Clymer-and not for Mr. Geaiy
who, although during the war occupying
a position against secession, is now cheek
by jowl with " the disunionists at the oth
er end of the line. '
AQI EER PRESCRIPTION. - There are
two doctors living not a remote distance
from Erie, Pa.; they are the only doctors
in the town, and, of course, the best rela
! tions exist between them. < >ne is of the
old school persuasion, the oilier of no par
j tieular school, but very learned in his way
as well as being an intense Republican in
politics. It so happened, in the course of
the practice of the latter, that he was called
to see a little boy who had swallowed a
cent coin. Never having had a case of the
kind he was put to his trumps what to do.
Failing in every prescription he had aif
ininistered, as a last and final resort he
made bold to call on the old school doctor
fur his advice in the matter. The doctor
with much patience and attention listened
to 'he details of the case, and with great
gravity said : "1 have had much experi
ence in similar eases, and I'll tell you
what to do," With eyes and ears open
our Radical M. D. listened with profound
attention —said the doctor: "I suppose you
are aware that there has been a great,
scarcity of coin fora loin; time past; now,
my theory is, that this coin lias been driven
out by the paper shin-plasters that have
taken their place. My advice would be
that you take about five five cent 'stamps, 1
make them into pills, one to a pill, a..d
give one everv two hours; If that won't
drive it out, I don t know what will.
Buffalo Courier, g
Nomination of Geary,
The friends of Tha i Stevens, and hitler
enemies of the government, met at J T.ir—
risburg on Wednesday last, and nominat
ed John W. Geary, as their candidate for
Governor. A few weeks ago, a Mr. Mag
ii;re of Philadelphia, on his own responsi
bility, addressed a letter to Geary to know
whether he would accepts nomination from
the Democratic party. Mr. Geary answer
ed, in substance, that he could conscien
tiously accept a nomination from the De
mocracy, that he had engaged in no en
tanglements inconsistent with fidelity to the
Democratic party. This letter of Geary's
was industriously circulated in llarrisburg,
by the friends of other candidates before
the Republican disunion convention, and
considerable feeling was manifested in op
position to liis pretensions. lie was noin-;
inated, however, on fir>t ballot. The plat
form sustains the radical disunion views of
Congress, and begs Mr. Johnson to join
with them in their treasonable designs, to
destroy the Constitution by amendments,
and keep the country from being united.
Election Case in Montgomery.
At last fall election, Wallace Hender
son, Judge of the election in Lower Mcii
-011, refused to receive the vote of Edmund
llollinlin, on the ground that he was a de
serter, having refused to respond to the
draft. lie was bound over, and the case
was tried last week at Norristown, before
Judge Chapman. The prosecution was
not to inflict penalty on Mr. Henderson,
but to test the right of the Inspectors to
refuse such votes, and hence no malice was
alleged against the defendant The de
fence, was set up under the Act of Con
gress, forfeiting the citizenship of deserters.
The Court charged the jury that the Act
of Congress forfeiting the citisenship of de
serters, did not derive them of their right
to vote, and that Edmund llollinlin had a
right to vote at the election in Upper Mer
ion last October ; and that the only ques
tion for the jury to decide, was, whether
Mr. Henderson only made an honest mis
take or knowingly and corruptly with im
proper motives decided against the vote.—
The charge was very emphatic.
As there was no plea t>r im
proper motives, the jury very preperly re
urncd a verdict that lie acted in ignorance.

Another Address of Pr-s'ldeM Johnson's. j
To dav 11ie corrnn'ttpo :nt d rt the j
mass meeting li.-M in Baltimore to endorse !
the President, waited upon him and pre
sented the resolutions adopted at that
meetiuc. The committee was accompa
nied by Lient. Gov. Cox, and was compos
ed of the following named gentlemen: P.
\V. Crane. Thos. Cotton, Jr., A. A. Chap
'man, Clinton Levering, and Chas. G. Kerr.
They were introduced to the President,
and Gov. Cox made a short address, in
which he assured the Executive that Ma
ryland was true to the Union, ar.d would
firmlv support the policy of Uie Presideut.
Judge Crane, after a few remarks, in
which he spoke of tho President's policy
as on which would be supported by the
people, presented the resolutions.
The President said in reply, he could
make no speech further than to say his
policy was before the country ; it was not
the result of impulse, but the result of a
conviction that it was the principle upon
which the government was founded. It
was before the country and would continue
to be so. lie said this to give assurance
that the government will be administered
on that policy, and he did not say it men
acingly. It was believed that the safety
of the government rested upon these prin
ciples. lie was not insensible to the com
pliment paid by this visit; that man's
heart and mind would be barren not to be
deeply impressed by such assurances of the
people's support. This compliment was
peculiarly gratifying to him ; ho believed
the country would be restored to its former
condition of prosperity and harmony. He
entered the contest expressing the safrie
views he now did, and he stood now as he
did then, by the Union and the Constitu
tion, not having swerved a hair's breadth.
The tauuts which had been uttered against
him had no effect upon him. Ills only
weakness was the restoration of the country
and the thorough recouciliatiation and liar
monv of the ration.
We are, he added, steadily accomplish
ing the work; we have seen families who
were divided amongst themselves, and had
considerable dissention amongst themselves,
but we see them ail afterwards harmonized'
and living in peace and friendship. So it
will be with us, and if we can do this it
will be something of which to be proud. —
It will come right in the end notwithstand
ing opposition. <)n this matter extremcsts :
of both sections, while pursuing different j
means, labored steadily to the accomplish- j
inent of the same end—the destruction of
the Union.
So fur as the dissolution of the Union
was concerned, one was as bad as the oth
er. When the rebellion is put down, and
we find a party for consoli lation and con
centration, it is the satn<- spirit as robe In n,
and leads to the same end —the destruction
of the government. 1 desire nothing but
to effect tbis reconciliation thoroughly ;
and when 1 can uo tlii.-, I can exclaim,
with a full heart, I have reached the siun
in t of my ambition ; my only object is to
restore the Union to its full and reconciled
former condition—then my work will be
done. I tliank you, gentlemen, fortius
mark of your countenance and support.
The company, after engaging in conver
sation a few minutes, withdrew.
A UNIONIST'S REWARD. —The follow
ing is the reward bestowed upon Senator
Cowan bv the so called Republican State
Convention, for liL manly defense of Pres
ident Johnson, and his devotion to the Un
ion and the Constitution of the people :

The crazy adherents of the mi ccgena

that when Mr. Cowan docs resign it will
only be to accept a higher position !
A NEW DICTIONARY WANTED. —Sena-
tor Cowan said in his late speech that a
loyal man is one who submits to the laws.
The Philadelphia Bulletin takes exception
to this answer, and says that the "mere
submission to law does not constitute loy

the laws of the country does not I
