OF .BERKS.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Til* Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention
met, recognizing a crisis in the affairs of the Re
public, nnd esteeming the immediate restoration of
the -Luion paramount to all other issues, do re
solve :
1 That the States, whereof the people were latt-
I in rebellion, are cntegral parts ef the Union, and
are entitled.to representation in Congress by men
duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution
and Laws, and in o*der to vindicate the maxim that
taxation without representation is tyranny, such .
repre.'Hiii'atives should be forthwith admitted.
°2. That the faith of the Republic is pledged to I
the payment of tbe National debt, and Congress ,
should pass all laws necessary tor that purpose.
3. That we owe obedience to the Constitution of :
the United States (including the amendment prohib
iting slavery,) and under its provisions will aceord j
to those emancipated all their rights of person and r
property. j
4 That each State has the exclusive right to
regulate the qualificat ions of its own electors.
5. Tb it the white race alone is entitled to the con- |
tio! of the Government of the Republic, and wo are
anwilling to grant to negroes the right te'vote.
f v Tlut the bold enunciation of tbe principles of ,
the Constitution and the policy of restoration con- j
tamed in the recent annual message and freedmen's
bureau veto message of President Johnson entitle
him to the confidence and support of all who respect
the Constitution and love their country.
7 Tuat the nation owta to the brave men of ear
a-..ins and -uuvy a debt of lasting gratitudo for
tfitirTioroic service, in defence of the Constit u tion j
and tie Cuion; and that ifhils we cherish with
tinder affection the memories of the fallen, we
pledge to rtieir widows and orphans the nation's i
eareind protection.
8. That we urge upon Congress the duty of equal
ism* the bounties of our stldiersand sailors.
&W Every Republican Legislature has
either denounced President Johnson, or
quietly shelved resolutions endorsing him.
"Where there is a Custom-House or a Post-
Office, they have made a glim, almost
laughable attempt at sustaining.him. Dem
ocrats sustain him on principle, without an
eye to office The Republicans give him
ju.-t as much support as they think will
keep the spoils in their grasp The sup
port of the one is approval from an honest
man, the other" from a sneak.
2JP The N. Y. Times (Republican)
say : 44 The age of bastiles and guillotines
has passed, but there is a despotism in Con
gress as infuriated as that which caused
France to weep tears of blood.
The majority of the House of Represen
tatives has invested a committee of fifteen
with powers which, under tbe guidance of
a Jacobin chairman, is becoming as odious
as any triumviate created by despotism.
&§" The N. Y. Tribune charges the N.
Y. Evening Post with 44 consciously work
ing toward alliance with and ultimate ab
sorption into the formidable party which
lives by empty professions of Democracy."
Ah, Horace! your own bedfellows re
volt against letting too many niggers into
tbe bed, do they? And that "dead corpse"
of the Democratic party is still "formida
ble," is it? 44 Afraid of ghosts, eh."

MEETING OF THE CABINET.
SECRETARY'S SEWARD, MCCCLLOCH, STAN
TON, WELLS, AND POST MASTER GEN
ERAL DENNISON EMPHATICALLT
IN FAVOR or THE PRESI
DENT'S RECONSTICTION
POLICY.
If the Constitution [la to M Chanced It
Mast be done by the People.
WASHINGTON, May 1.
It is reported to-day that President
Johnson has expressed himself decidedly
against the plan of the Reconstruction
Committee submitted to Congress yester
day. He regards it as calculated to per
petuate the existing state of affairs, and by
no means tending to restore peace and har
mony to the country, nor the restoration of
the Union. He adheres to the opinion
heretofore expressed, that no further con
ditions ought to be imposed on the South
ern peoole while they are not permitted
to have a voice in the National Legisla
ture.
It is understood that, in the cabinet
meeting to-day, the President invited an
expression of opinion from the heads of
departments, respecting the propositions
reported on Monday last, by the Congres
sional Committee on Reconstruction. An
interested and animated discussion is said
to have ensued, in which if the rumor be
true. Secretary Seward declared himself,
in very decided and emphatic terms,against
the plan of tV- committee and in favor of
the immediate admission of the loyal Rep
resentatives from the lately rebellious
States. Secretary McCulloch was as
positive as the Secretary of Stale in bis
opposition to the plan recommended by
the committee, and expressed himself as
strong in by favor of an immediate consu
mation of the President's restoration pol
icy, by the admission into Congress of loy.
al inen from the Southern States. Secre
tary Stanton was equally decided in hij
opposition to the committee's proposition
he was for adhering to the policy which
had been agreed upon and and consistent
ly pursued by the administration; and he
was giatiiied that the President had
brought the subject to the consideration of
the Cabinet. Secretary Wells was une
quivocally against the committee's scheme,
and was earnest in bis support of the
President's policy, comprehending the in
stant admission into Congress of the loyal
representatives from the States lately in
rebellion. Secretary Ilarlan was rather
reticeut, and expressed no opinion.—
Postmaster-General Dennison was in fa
vor of carrying out the restoration policy
of the President,, but expressed some
doubts as to the precise at which the loyal
representatives from the Southern States
should i c admitted to seats in Congress.
Attorn y-Gcneral Speed was not present
at the meeting being on a visit to his home
in Kentucky. Tbe President was earnest
in bis opposition to the report of the com
mittee, and declared himself against all
conditions precedent to the admission of
the loyal representatives from ihe South
ern States, in the shape of the amend
ments to the Constitution, or by the pas
sage of laws. He insisted that under the
Constiiution that no State could be de
prived of its equal suffrage in the Senate,
and that Senators and Representatives
ought to be at once admitted into the re
spective House as presented by law and
the Constitution. He was for a rigid ad
herence to the Constitution as it is, and
remarked that having sustained ourselves
under it, during a terrible reliellion, he
thought that the government could be re
stored without a resort to amendments.—
He remarked, in general terms, that if tbe
organic law is to be changed at all, it
should be at a time when all the States
and all the people can particpate in the
alteration.
The Senate spent nearly all of its time
10-day on the proposition to prohibit any
officer not confirmed by the Senate from
receiving any salary. Senator Henderson
was ktnd enough to intimate that if Con
gress were driven from the Capitol by bay
onets, the fate of the President would be
that of Charles the First.
The Fenians.
BOSTON, May 4. -Captain William H.
Grace, who claims to be the oldest Fenian
in New England, publishes a communica
tion in the Post , of this city, detailing the
recent abortive attempt to invade the East
ern British Provinces. He says that the
expedition was approved by O'Mahony,
and commanded by Killian. That the
latter asserted that an iron war vessel,
loaded with arms, was to meet them at
East port, and a landing on British territo
ry was to be made on the night of their
arrival; and after the expedition had
started, O Mahony countermanded the
sailing of the vessel, and threw other ob
stacles in the way, which led to its fail
ure.
Captain Grace denounces O'Mahoneyl
and urges all good Fenians to raly under,
the banner of General Sweeney.
EASTPORT, M ~ May 3. —The Winoos
ki lias arrived here without having seen
auy Fenian privateers. A Fenian was ac
cidentally shot this afternoon and is be
lieved to be mortally wounded.
The Omaha Republican of the 9th
ult, states that " the greatest excitement
prevails in Utah among the Mormons, and
a fixed determination on their part to drive
out or exterminate all Geatiles. Eight
men have recently been assassinated, while
the editor of the Vedette, with all other
Gentiles, has been notified to quit the coun
try Placards are posted up in Salt Lake
City warning all Gentiles to leave imme
diately."
jgf The tremendous expenses of the
Freedmen's Bureau were fully illustrated
in the House to-day, by reporting of a bill
making an appropriation of eleven millions
six hundred and forty thousand dollars for
the support and educations of the negroec.
Among the items were four millions for
feeding the freedmen, and three million
for building school houses. Everybody
was antonished at the proposed expendi
ture.
Moeea.
The Columbus Stale*man hits off the
Moses question, as follows:
The Radical press have fallen into the
habit of speaking of President JOHNSON.
byway of derision as MOSKS. There is
more pertinence in this designation than
moat people, at first glance will imagine.—
After Mosss had delivered the Children of
Israel from the clutches of the Egyptians,
under the guidance of God, they become
dissatisfied with him—thought him a slow
coach—false to his pledges and promises—
there upon 44 the people gathered them
selves unto Aaron, and said unto him,
" Up, make us Gods which shall go before
us: as for this MOSES, the man that bro't
us out of Egypt, wo wot not what is become
of him."
A AEON took their jewelry and made
them a molten calt, which they fell to wor
shipping. The Almighty became so sore
ly displeased with this conduct that He
would have visited swift destruction upon
the whole of them had it not been for the
intercession of MOSES; and he encounter
ed great difficulty in inducing the people
to return to the worship of the true God.
Like MOSES, President JOHNSON, in the
estimation of the Radicals, was a slow
coach, as false to his professions and prom
ises, and they turned to STETKNS ami call
ed to him "Up make us gods which shall
go before us." Like AARON, he has made
them a molten calf, which they are now
worshipping instead of the Constitution.
MosES-like, President JOHNSON is calling
upon the people to abandon this false wor
ship of the Constitution, lest they shall be
be visited, as a punishment with political
death, as tbe Children of Israel would
have been visited with physical and moral
death, had they persisted in the worship
of the molten calf that AARON had made
for them.
Mr. Voorheea' Last Words In Congress.
It will be remembered that tbe report
of the committee on Mr. Voorhees' case
was in favor of his clear right to tbe seat,
and that the majority in obedience to'Thad
Stevens' command, overrode even their
own committee, and EXPELLED HIM
FROM CONGRESS BECAUSE HIS
VOTE STOOD IN THE WAY OF
THEIR PLANS. Below will be found
the closing words of Mr. Voorhee-. For
fearless, outspoken manliness, and defiance
of those who have converted themselves
into a " modern judgment," it cannot be
excelled:
44 Mr. Speaker, I have but little more to
say and but one favor to ask. You know,
and I know, and the country knows, that 1
have the legal majority of the votes ; but
if the report of the committee is to be sus
tained, let it be done on its true ground.—
I have been your fair foe. I have met you
in open, honorable warfare, and I am enti
tled at least to candid hostility at your
hands. I have neither skulked nor dodg
ed on this floor, and if a sacrifice is requir
ed to appease the political Moloch which
has so long presided here, you have select
ed the proper victim. 11c will not shrink
from the blow. God being my helper,
this political gibbet shall not be a reproach
to me or mine. If you wish to 44 purge
Parliament,' and reduce this already frac
tured Congress to a etill greater uniformi
ty of opinion, you hold the axe, and I defy
its edge, as well as the malice, of its execu
tioners. Strike ; but you cannot kill.—
Banish me, sir ;my heart is not here. It
is in my beautiful Western home. lam
thinking of that people who have so often
covered rne with their aection as with aff
shield in the hour of storm and danger.—
To them I will gladly go. I owe them
more for their confidence than I can ever
pay ; but at least one merit they will con
cede to me—l have never shrunk from the
vindication of their rights ; and may the
light of heaven be denied to my eyes when
for the sake of power or place, I prove re
creant to their principles."

Removals,
President Johnson has removed the
Collector of Internal Revenue at Pitts
burg, and appointed Ex-Gov. William F.
Johnson in his place. The office is a very
lucrative one.
S. Von Bonhurst, Postmaster at Pitta
burg, a violent radical, has also been re
moved by the President, and Wade Hamp
ton appointed to the vacancy.' "This will
no doubt bring out another howl from the
Pittsburg Disunionists like that which re
sulted upon the announcement of the ap
pointment of Gov. Johns On.
Paleman John, the disunion editor of
the Bloomsburg Republican, has been re
moved from the Collectorship in Columbia
county, and a loyal supporter of tbe Pres
ident has been appointed in his place.
Keep at it, Mr. President. Those who
are not for you, cordially and openly, have
no claim upon your patronage. Turn
them out, and teach them a lesson.
Disappointed In their Man.
In the April number of the Atlantic
Monthly there is a subtle and savage on
slaught on President Johnson, under tbe
heading of "The President and Congress."
The animus and style of the article, if we
mistake not, reveal Sumner as its author.
Our object in adverting to it is to show
what sort of a man the radicals took their
Andy to be when they selected him as
their candidate for the Vice Presidency.—
The followipg is an.extract. from tbe arti
cle :
"Mr. Johnson when elected, appeared to repre
sent the most Violent ideas and the most vindictive
passions engendered by Ibe war. He spoke as if
blacks were to find in him a Moses, and the rebels a
Nemesis. It seemed as it there could not be io the
whole land a sufficient number of sour apple trees to
furnish banging accomodations for the possible vic
tims of his patriotic wrath One almost feared that
reconciliation would be indefinitely postponed by
the elentless severity with which he would visit
treason with death-
And such, then, in their conception of
him, was the man whom the radicals, with
the help of better men, elected to the sec
ond office in the nation, and it might be
the first—as the event has proved ! And
they are vexed that he proved to be a bet
ter man than they supposed he was. It is a
shameful and a shocking avowal. And it
shows what spirit actuates the men who
control the present Congress, and to whose
hands the great interests of the Union are
most unhappily aud perilously committed.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRES
IDENT AND CONGRESS. —It is very desira
ble that the difference between the Presi
dent and the rank and file of Congress,
on the subject of Representation, should
be properly understood. • It is stated in a
nutshell as follows:
It is that Congress excludes all South
ern members alike—excluding Maynard
and other loyal men from Tennessee, who
can take the test oath, just as rigidly and
relentlessly as Stephens and others, who
cannot. In the judgment of the Presi
dent, this is a power which the Constitu
tion has not conferred upon them, and an
abuse which discourages loyalitv and fidel
ity to Union in the Southern btates, while
everything should be done to raise them
up. Time will show which is the wisest
policy, but the President's true position on
the subject ought not longer to be misun
derstood.
THE TRIAL OF DAVIS. —We have a re
port from Washington to this effect: M lt
can be possitively stated that the Attorney-
Generan is busily engaged in arranging for
the speedy trial of Jefferson Davis. He
will be arrainged before one of the Circuit
Courts of the United States upon the
charge of high treason. The Attorney-
General holds that there is no such thing
as constructive presence in the crime of
tieason, and on this account the trial will
probably be either in Tennessee or Virgin
ia. William M. Evarts is the only gentle
man whose name has yet transpired who is
to assist the Attorney-General in the prose
cution, though several other eminent law
yers have deen retained by the Government
Charles O' Conner and James T. Bradey,
of New York, William B. Reed, of Penn
sylvania, and a lawyer from Mississippi,
are to conduct the defence. The intention
of the authorities is to scoure a speedy trial,
not only for Davis, but for several other
noted rebels."
ADMINISTERING THEIR OWN MEDICINE
TO THEM. —At an election in Janesville,
Wisconsin, a radical, who was a candidate
for Constable, brought with him to the
polls a negro to vote. The candidate said
negro was on an equality with the white
man and was entitled to vote and hold of
fice;' and by his persuasion the judges re
ceived the vote, although it was illegal—
The conservative Republicans thereupon
put the negro on their ticket, and elected
him Constable, by a large majority over
the radical candidate, to the great disgust
of the latter, jjis own medicine did not
set well on bis stomach.
The Republican party .in that State is
becoming terribly demoralized.
The Negro Above tbe Mechanic,
" But there is still another class for
44 whom no one has yet spoken on this
** floor, who have contributed to your sue -
44 cess not less tbanihe soldier or tbe cred
-44 itor, I WAS ALMOST ABOUT TO SAT, NOT
44 LESS THAN THE FREEDMEN, I MEAN THE
44 MECHANICS or THE COUNTRY." —(Senator
Sumner in the U. S. Senate, April 18, '6f.
See Congressional Globe.)
The soldier, the creditor, and the white
mechanic of America have in the estima
tion of Senator Sumner, borne equal bur
thens in tbe salvation of the nation. He
44 was almost about to say" that the freed
man was eaual with each, but he fails to
enunciate the sentiment, and we fairly in
fer that to bis opinion tbe sacrifices and
privations of the former surpass those of
all others. This is the deliberate language
of the Senator, in a studied attempt to flat
ter and praise the mechanic. It was call
ed out during the discussion upon a bill
for the relief of certain naval contractors,
in which the theme chosen for his elabora
tion, was the value of the American me
chanic in the recent civil struggle. He
believes the Negro is equal to any white
man, and here he expresses his conviction
that bis services are greater than those of
the men who bore the brant of the fight for
the Union. Negro above the mechanic,
the Negro the equal of all white men, the
Negro entitled to vote, to sit on juries, to
travel with us, to enjoy every social and
political right that we enjoy, are the Alpha
and Omega of his daily thoughts, they are
the prominent traits of the Negro-loving
disunionists. White men protect yourselves
by your ballots.

at that,—ac rompanied by the Coterie Bund, took

The American Canfllct by Horace Greeley, a
work, the nature of which may be inferred from its
title, has been hnn ded us for examination, by Mr.
Cbar'es Iline tbe agent for this County. From the
cursory examination we have been able to give it,
we think it is a most valuable acquisition to the his
tory of the country Its references and facts will
ever be so regarded by the future historiau and schol
ar. Of course the author has impre seed upon tbe
work his peculiar political opinion and dogmas; ie
doing which, be argues his case with much ability.—
But with discriminating.thinking men, this can have
but little influence, as bis bobby—slavery—is now
dead, an issue of the past, smothered out by tbe
blood of a quarter of million of whitemen. Mr
Greeley as a collector, collator, condenser and arrau
ger of documents and facts is probably without a
superior. These qualities of the author so strikingly
manifest in the work, has induced us to subscribe for
it.
A Hint —"Every crow thinks its yonng the
whitest," is an adage as old as our language ;
which, inlerpretted, means (everybody understands
its meaning) that every mau thinks, or should think
his wife or sweetheart the fairest and lovliest and
most amiable of he.* sex. We had begun to enter
tain a vague suspicion that crows and men might
sometimes be mistaken in their opinions on these
points 'till, coming borne one day last week,we found
•'our better half arrayed in all the iovliness of lillys
of tbe valley—(minus) the paint —crowned with a
ntw and elegant hat—"a gipsey " so called, from
tLe millinery establishment of Mrs. A. ffi. Stark.—
Without intending to crow at all we think that any
man whose wife's head gear is got up from tbe ma
terial at Mrs Stark's shop and by the fair and skill
ful hands of her principal milliner, is entirely justi
fied in believing as the crows do—that his own bird
is the fairest. If any man pleads guilty to doubts
on this crow theory, or is silly enough to think any
body else's wife prettier than hts own, he can dissi
pate his doubts, manifest bis wisdom and unload
himself of a part of bis guilt by taking a hint.
