S\t Qemocrat, HARVEY SICKLER, Editor. TUN KHAN NOCK, PA . 1 Wednesday, Apr. 25, 1866., FOR GOVERNOR, 101. BIUTEB EIYMEB, OF .BERKS. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Democracy of Pennsylraois in Convention met, recognising a crisis in the affairs of the R- j public, and esteeming the immediate restoration of j the Union paramount to all other issues, do re- J solve : j 1. That the States, whereof the people were laU lr in rebellion, are entegral parts of the Union, and j are entitled to representation in Congress by men duly elected who hear true faith to the Constitution j and Laws, and in (tier to vindicate the maxim that j taxation without representation is tyranny, such j representatives should be forthwith admitted. "2. That the faith of the Republic is pledged to j the payment of tho National debt, and Congress should pass all laws necessary tor that purpose. j 3. That we owe obedience to the Constitution of the United States (including the amendment prohib iting slavery.) aDd under its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their rights of person and property. 4 That each State has the exclusive right t resrulatc the qualifications of its own electors. 5. That tho white race alone is entitled to the con trol of the Government of tho Republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right t# vote. g. That iho bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution nnl the policy of restoration con tained in the recent annual message and froedmen's bureau veto message of President Johnson entitle hitn to the confidence a,el support of ail who respect the Constitution and love their country. <• That the nation owts to the brave men of cur armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their heroic service, in defence of the Constitution and the Union ; and that while we cherish with tender affection tho immorics of the fallen, we pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's cere nod protection. 6 That wo urge upon Congress tho duty of equal ising the bounties of our stldic:s end sailors. THE FIRESIDE. —The firuside is a sem inary of infinite importance. It is impor taut because it is universal, and because the education it bestows, being woven in with the woofof childhood, gives form and col or to the whole texture of life. There are but few who can receive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the earth. The learning of the university may fade from inflection, its classic lore, may moul der halls of memory ; but the sim ple lessons of home enameled upon the lieart of childhood, .defy the rust of years, and outlive the more mature but less vivid pictures of after years. X4T '! • e love of aibitrary power is al ways found, where bigotry is four.d. The human mind, amid its endless inconsisten cies, is indeed capable of being animated with a love of religious libertvi and yet of being at the same time ignorant of the na ture, or somewhat indifferent to the cause of civil liberty. Instances of this kind, though very l are, have sometimes occurred, but the converse never Las ; no man was ever a religious bigot, and at the same time a friend to civil and religious liberty. - Against the Union and for the Negro. Tho dis-Union majority in Congress, i are true to their antecedents. hen we were a united and happy people, blessed with peace, prosperity and amity, they and their associates attacked the Union of the States, and the Constitution of our fa thers; the one was denounced, the other vilified. Concord, amity and forbearance, the silver cords that bound our people in v common destiny, were rudely sundered, and in their stead came a career of hate, vituperation and bloodshed; love for the Negro prompted its inception, anxiety for his freedom nerved tlu m in their progress, and a desire for his social ■ levation roused them to renewed exertion. As the pecul iar friends of the Negro they nullified the plain provisions of the organic law, and violated laws enacted under its require ments. As his zealous advocates, they now violate the elementary principles of tie Constitution, and refuse representation to people who are true to the laws and faithful to the government. They were against the Union at the b ginning, and they are* but consistent in opposing it now. '1 hey are for the Negro, and against the poor white man, and their policy ot to-day is but the reflex of their sentiments in the past. Their true rallying cry is: UP WITH THE NEGRO AND DOWN WITH THE UNION. They are dis-Ut.ionis s in thought, dis-Unionists in wcrd, and dis-Unionists in deed. THE DISUNION ISTS REFUSED TO VOTE THE GETTYSBURG HEROES A MEDAL. — UL liie Senate of lVnnsylvania, on the Bth of April 1864, Senator Lamberton, a Demo crat, offered the following resolution. "Resolved, That the committee on fi nance be instruct! dto bring in a bill au thorizing the governor ot this Common wealth to cause a suitable medal in gold to be struck and presented to General Meade, ai d such other suitable testimonial as it may desire, to be presented to the other commissioned and nun-con.inissioned officers and privates of tins State who wrought for this commonwealth a great de liverance from rebel invasion, on the san guinary and victorious field of Gettys burg." Senator Johnson, übiinionLts, moved to amend by directing the committee to tn q tire into the erpedten yof doing so. The Democrats voted against amending the resolution and the disnnionists for it. The amendment was carried. Ihe committee did not comidcr it expedient and never brought in the bill, and no medal was ev er presented to General Meade and his soldier*, because of this vole of thedis- Uuionis LOCK at the Record page 505. General Geary, The person whom the anti-Johnson Re publicans of Pennsylvania nominated the other day for Governor was formerly the territorial Governor of Kansas. His name is JOHN \V, GEARY - . Doubtless he can write his own name ; perhaps he can spell it correctly ; but it is certain he cannot i write his own message. When he was in Kansas he stole them. VV ere he to be elected Governor of Pennsylvania, of which happily there is small probability, he would have to steal them again. Pennsylvania i really deserves a governor capable of writ ing his own messages. The common school system of that Stat' ought not to culmin-o ate in such gubernatorial imbecility. We print below in parallel columns ex tracts fiora Governor GEARY'S inaugural address of 1857, and the inaugural address of Governor HENRY - J. GARDNER, deliv ered to the Massachusetts Legislature two years before, in 1855: EXTRACT FROM GOV. EXTRACT FROM GOV. j HENRY - J. G.YRD- JOHN W.

Perhaps rob bery would be the fitter term, for the theft is accompanied with violence. GEARY not only stole the Massachusetts Governor's appropriate sentiments ar.d correct Eng lish, but twists them into GEARY gram mar and dreary sense —not "quite destroy— j ing the identity of the passage, however. Geary begins his theft by paying two compliments to the Deify in place of the one which he steals. ''Gracious Btirg" becomes "the all-wise and benificent Be ing." With this change .we find no fault, for it mav signify that the man who now solicits Pennsylvania's suffrages has the germs iff a conscience in him, and, lik<> the Hottentot and the Thug, whose religions are also of a very rudimentary sort, tho't it possible in the act of sin to propitiate its rewarder bv ampler ascriptions to his awful name. But the next disfigurement which Gearv practices upon this stolen propel tv is villainous. Governor Gard ners Yankees were permitted to "assem ble," "intrusted" with grave responsibili ties. Ge,vry must needs "convene" his leg islators "charged." so he goes on, buttering his stolen substantives with su perfluous adjectives, in the hope that the loaf will be swallowed ere it is known Ito be stolen. "Principles arc enduring," was the phrase at the Hub ; but Geary t strains over the sentence and finally pro claims that "principles and justice are ! eternal." We will not quarrel with Gea ! ry over this transmogrification, though it I is a rule of truth as well as of rhetoric not i to stretch the language bevond ike hreadth |of the fact. Justice probably u eternal, but Geary must see that in the present in j stance it has been only nine years in com i ing around ; and as for principles, which, I ho Mvs, are eternal too, it is quite enough for him to prove that the stock which he had in Kansas in the winter of '57 will j last him to the Fall of '6G, to satisfy honest ! Pennsvlvanians whom to cast their votes 1 for THE CHOLERA AT NEW ORK AND PORTLAND.—A man died at Portland, Me., yesterday of cholera. He is said to have been one ot five who escaped from the ! steamer England at Halifax. The British ! steamship Virginia arrived yesterday at ! New York, from Liverpool April 4th, with 1043 passengers. She has had thirty-eight deaths on the passage, and is anchored at Quarantine. The disease is said to be j similar to that with which the steamship England is infected. The Virginia will be immediately sent to the lower bay to the usual quarantine anchorage, wuich is twenty miles from the city. TRUE —Whenever a set of ministers take hold of a cause and assume to be leaders of it, bv virtue of their ministerial office, it will always be*found that more harsh language, uncharitable conclusions, bitter aspersions of character, and motives, sneers and ridicule, abound than with or amorg any other class of man. For proof of this, the reader need only rofer to tho language of the war cltrgy for the last few yea*s. "The" Sober K .court Thought.* The Democratic party although not al ways successful, have the satisfaction of knowing that when defeated thev have al ways went down battling for the right.— Time has always brought a vindication The "sober second of the people" as Mar tin Van Bnrcn on a memorable occasion expressed it, has always been sure to sus tain in the and those measures which at first, through misrepresentation they had been induced to defeat. We have no.bet ter evidence of the truth of this than what is passing before us at the present time. Since the <!av when Congress passed a law ►exempting National Banks shares from taxation, the Democracy have not only contested the constitutionality of the meas ure, but have contended, that it was set ting up in our midst, a new aristocracy, a privileged class, who, nnder this law would be exempt from bearing their share in supporting the (Government." For daring to constitutionality of this law, for denoun cing Congress for passing such a measure. Democratic pressess and speakers were i denounced without stint as "disloyal." — What has the sober second thought done. I Why on!v the other day the Supreme Con:t delivered an opinion deciding that I slari* in national batiks are taxable. Another Republican measure, the "test oath" is also virtually decided by a vote 1 of five to four in the same Court to be un i constitutional. So also in reference to military com missions, those Star Chamber Courts iu i stituted to perpetuate murder under the i guise of legality, they too have had their day. The decision of the Supreme Court ,in the of BowUs, Horsey and Milli -1 gen, three men as a cotetnpornry says, who ; were charged with miscellaneous "disloy altv," with membership in the "Sons of Liberty," a society organized and run by j Repubfcaus to give color to the charges I against Democrats made by such vilify ing time-set vers as HOLT and STANTON, ' and were tried by one of these lawless com ' ~nss:ons, and sentenced to be hanged. — Their punishment was commuted to im p i-onmetit for life. They, petitioned the Ciicuit Court for a wiitcf habeas corpus, and the Judges of the Circuit being di vided in opinion certified the cases up to ; the Supreme Court on the three questions : On the facts stated ought a wiit of habeas corpus to be issu <1 i Ought tiic peti tioners to be charged from custody? I Had the Military Commission jtirisd ction \to trv and sentence the petitioners? The j Supremo Court d cided thai the writ 1 should issue, the petigoners be discharged j and that the Military Commission had no j 'jnrisdieiton legally to try and sentence 'said "MILI.ICJAV and others in the manner I arid form," as in said petition and exlrb its are "stated.' So it lias been and so it will be. The ' principles of the Democratic party stand the test cf time and of courts. et the • law-breakers and revolutionists who call j themselves Republicans fancy they will continue to govern the country ! — hx. ! b The Fanatics Thwarted ill New Jersey. ! wh en the radical revolutionists in the United States Senate expelled Senator | Stockton from his seat, they fully expected ' that the New .lersv Legislature would im- I mediately fill his place with a Disunionist ot their own stripe, who could be relied on to help over-ride the vetoes of President Johnson, and, if necessary, to vote for the impeachment of tire President and his re | moval, by revolutionary violence, from of | fice. But in the New Jersey State Senate, Mr. Scoville, though Mooted as a Rcpubli j can, manfully and honestly refused to be | come a party to the unparalleled outrage. ; He voted with the Democrats in that body against going into joint legislative cotiven | tion ; and, in the face of a whirlwind of j abuse and denunciation, firmly maintained | his position until the final adjournment of | the Legislature, and the matter goes over ito the new Legislature, to be elected this ; fall. The next Legislature, beyond all doubt or question, w'dl have an overwhelm i ing majority of Johnson men, an l Senator i Stockton will be returned to the seat from which lie was unjustly expelled. In this j case the revolutionists have been thwarted, j and a righteous judgment has overtaken | the authors of the great crime enacted in i the United States Senate in the expulsion i of Senator Stockton. A CASE UNDER TITS CIVIL RIGTIIS BILL A despatch from Lafayette, Indiana, dated the 11th inst., says: "A colered man named Barnes brought suit against a prominent citizen this morn ing to enforce a contract. The defendant, for answer, that the negro came into the State in violation of the 13th article of the constitution of the State of Indiana, which, under pains and penalties, prohib its negroes from coming into the State, and debars them from all rights to enforc" contracts, Ac. "The plaintiff demurs to the answer, maintaining that the 13th article is void and of no effect, because : 1. It is in con travention of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States. 2. It is in direct conflict with the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery. 3. It 1/ void nn ier the first section of the civil rights bill, which gives to all persons born in the United States ftfll right to make and enforce.contracts, any law, statute, or-* dinance, regulation, or custom to the con trary notwithstanding* " The court sustained the d> murr r, and the defendant appealed to the Circuit Court now in session. " The case was submitted to-day, and after argument of counsel it was taken un der advisement. Judge Gest will probably render a decision to-morrow. the section of the civil rights bill he can only decide in favor of the negro, for the reason that an adverse decision would subject him to the penalty of f l,ooofine and imprison ment. We have spent over four billions of dollars to fight the South into the Union, and now the fanatics in the rump Congress are doing all they can to keep the Southern States out of the glorious old Union. More Guarantees Required The Black Republican faction, both in and out of the rump Congress, are con stantly harping on the necessity of deman ding strong guarantees from the Southern States, before admitting their Representa tives to seats in the National councils, that they will comply with all the conditions that may be imposed upon them. The Providence (Rhode Island) Post perti nently ask those fanatics who thus attempt to justify their revolutionary course, wheth er there is not as great a necessity for the sober, reflecting, truly patriotic and intelli gent portion of the country at large, irre spective of party, to demand from those disunionists some strong guarantees against TFiEra disturbing the peace of the countrv, find bringing about the destruction of all popular government ? Says the Post:— "Judge from their respective attitudes be fore t(jf country to-day, is South Carolina more liable to disturb the peace and har mony of the Union or destroy it, than Massachusetts ? While Northern disunion ists like Stevens, Sumner & Co. are howl ing over the grave of a defunct Confeder acy, panting for the Mood of more judicial victims, and coveting the property of an entire people, may not the great and grow ing West and a 'reconstructed' South dc ! mand guarantees against, the revolutionary aud intolerant propensities of New Eng land, when her protective monopoly and fishing bounty policy, and, we mav add, her 'great mural idea l ,' are assailed and denied her ? The object of this prate about guarantees is too palpable to be concealed from the intelligent people of the United States. The dominant party who, during the war, subverted the liberties of the peo ; pic, and robbed them through shoddyism, | are naturally desirous and determined tiy foul means, for they know of i:o other means, to perpetuate themselves in power. They see the fatal hand writing on the wall, and are endeavoring like Bclshazzar to disregard ks warning voice, stultifying themselves in 'wail and wassail/ hoping, by elevating the stupid negr > to the level of white men in Araeiiea," for whom this great and glorious Government'was forin- Ed by our forefathers, to perpetuate them selves in place and,power. It behooves, therefore, every truly patriotic man in the country to stand by the Constitution as be qneathed to us ; to stand by Andrew Johnson so long as lie stands firm upon thai sacred pedestal, and rescue the coun try from the errors of fanaticism. "To your tents, O, Israel!' " — JSanuer of Lib erty, Ho ! for Protection ! To look over t!.e Elack Republican ncwspap -rs, says an exchange, one might suppose that the interests of the country are about to perish completely. We mu<i have protection, le-avy protection.— riritish goo Is must he excluder! or we are ruined. Well, where does this cry come from?. Farmers, what are you making now? Counting all, do jot clear six per cent, above the cost of your fum, revenue taxes and other expenses/ Mechanics, what are you making? Do you realize six to ten per cent, upon your investments and labor ? Can you stand it at present rates, without fainting by 'he way? Then vou are well off. We judge you are, for we have not heard you ask for protection. Well, the manufactures—those of Puri tanical Ne v Eng'arwl particularly—are about used up. They have been declaring dividends for the past three or four years, onht to the amount of from TWKXTT FIVE to FORTY per cert., and they cannot live at that ! Think of this, farmers and woik- | ingmen ; you who arc clearing at most but six to ten per cent. Then, again, look at what the negroes arc getting ! Twelve to fifteen millions of your money to buy pewter spoons and sliin-bone soup for them, and roast beef and plumh-pnd ding for the bureau. Now, if von can stand that, certainly you can stand a little more, to put the Yankee millionaire manu facturer on a level with the protection awarded to the negro, so *do not grumble, do not object; you are a generous people, and rati bear another straw or two to help these poor creatures who are not able to help themselves. You give frcelv to lunatic aHylums, why not to Yankee mil lionaires, who do not know what a pewter spoor, looks like ?" — Ex SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. — The Hon. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, the United States Minister to Russia, who is well known as one of the original abolitionists lias written a letter to the editor of the Louisville Journal , in which he declares his intention to support the President. The letter has just reached us from the West, and.is as follows : " ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, ) March 13, ISGO. } " DEAR SIR :— I deem it my duty to denounce the course of Sumner and Ste vens. If one man remains loyal, he is the State. I stand by the President's v#to of the freedmen's bureau bill. Let the States give the freedmen all civil rights, and by degrees extend to them he right of suffrage. Or else let an amendment to the Constitu tion make one rule of suffrage for all the States. This attempt of Congress to intc f re with the rights of the States after the War-power unknown to the Constitution, and subversive of the whole theory of re publicanism, as based upon the old Consti tution of the. Unite d States. " Your obedient servant, "C. M. CLAV. "G D. PRENTICE, Esq, Louisville, Ky ' • The fanatics are the worst anti-tem perence men in the nation. If they could succeed in tbeir effort to mak? the coun trv believe that Andrew Johnson was IN LIQUOR when he made his tremendous 22d of February speech, there might be mil lions of sober men who would take to li quor. THE CASE OF DAVIS —There is high uthority for saying that the efforts nowt believed to be in progress, by the Military Bureau of Justice, to secure the trial of Jeff. Davis by coutt martial will prove abortive—all such trials being stopped by the Peace Proclamation, and the Presidcn and Mr. Seward being opposed to 6uch a proceeding. Local and Personal.
