OF BERKS.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,
The Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention
met, recognizing a crisis in the affairs of the Re
public, and esteeming the immediate restoration of
the t'nion paramount to all other issues, do re
solve :
1. That (be States, whereof the people were late
ly in rebellion, are ontegral parts of 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
representatives should be forthwith admitted.
2 That tbe faith of the Republic is pledged to
the payment of the National debt, and Congress
should'pass all laws necessary tor that purpose.
J. That we owe obedience to the Constitution of
the United States (including the amendment prohib
iting slavery,) and under its provisions will accord
to those emancipated all their rights of person and
property.
4 That each State has the exclusive right to
regulate the qualifications of its own electors.
5. That the white race alone is entitled to the con
trol of the Government of the Republic, and we are
unwilling to grant to negroes the righ* t vote.
g. That the bold enunciation of the principles of
the Constitution and the policy of restoration con
tained 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- Tbat the nation owes to the brave men of fur
anuies and navy & debt of lasting gratitude for
,v =<iir heroic service, iu defence of the Constitution
id the Union; and that while we cherish with
tender affection the memories of the fallen, we
pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's
i are and protection.
8. That we urge upon Congress the duty of equal
izing the bouoiies of our stidiers and sailors.
JefTersaii Davla.
At a recent session of tbe (J. S, Court
held by Judge Underwood at Richmond
Ya, Hon. Wm.B. Reed and others,counsel
for Jefferson Davis,appeared and demanded
a speedy trial of their client. Major Hen
nessey, assistant U. S. District Attorney
asked time to reply to this demand; and
on the following day he read a carefully
prepared reply, asking that the case be ad
journed until tbe Fall Term of that court,
when, he said, that they would be prepar
ed to go into the trial unless the caso
should be previously disposed of by the
military authorities —under whose custody
he now is.
In view of the failing health of Mr. Da
vis, his Attorneys are making efforts to get
him rel ased on bail, which efforts it is
thought, will be successful.
The Fenians.
The Fenian movement on Canada it at
an eud. Those who had passed the line
under the command of Gen. Sweeny, have
all been are now returning
to their hotnes. Their supplies of food,
arms and ammunitiou having been inter
ested by the U. S. authorities, they were
left to starvation, or pillage to sustain life.
A few of them have fallen into the hands
(f the Canadians and are now held as
prisoners at Brantford, Canada West—
Gen. Meade, whom the President had
otdered to the frontier, has furnished trans
portation to all returning Fenians, and
right glad they are for this opportunity to
return at the expense of the government.
Disscntions among the Fenians themselves
anJ a vigorous enforcement of neutrality
regulations by the U. S. authorities has
prevented very serious troubles from this
movement.
Head Centre James Stephens, who is
now in Washington, deprecates the move
ment, and declares that the Irish, to be
successful, must make their stand for Irish
nationality on Irish soil.
Clap-trap and Slang.
Th'e opponents of tie Democrats elect
ed Harrison by shouting "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too, and by the free use of Log
Cabins and Hard Cider, "Old Rough and
Ready" and "Locofoces"put them through
in 1848. The mysteries of Dark Lantern
ini turned the current in their favor in
1804 and ISSO, ood Wide Awake Ilats
and Caps, contributed vastly to ihe elec
tion of "Old Abe" in iB6O. Since then
they have played on "Copperheadism,"
"traitor," "disunionism," names now appli
cable to themselves, and thereby, in con
r ,'tion with fraud, threats, and intimida
iiuns, run in a second time "Father Abra
ham," with "Loyal Andy" as a tail to the
kite. In looking over Republican papers
of to-day we find articles written simply to
keep before their readers the word "Cop
perhead." One paper suggests "Kanga
roo l'arty," for Democrats, while another
is better pleased with "Soap and Candle
paity." With such frivilous things and
names they hope to uphold their sink
ng cause. But Providence has taken
the National administration out of their
hands; the "loyal" Governor of Maryland
lias become a Copperhead ; Andy Curtin
is not much better ; the Cabinet, and
Cowan, Doolittle, Dixon, and other U. S..
Senators are prodigals. Many of them
look upon Geary as no better. The sol
diers' too, for whom they bought straw
hats and Scotch herring with other peoples'
money are tlinching the disunion cause—
holding meetings and passing resolutions
in tavor of Johnson and Clytner. The
people are returning to reason, and 2d
Tuesday of next October will sweep tbe
disunion party and its evils out of exist
ence,—Sun. Dcm.
A Civil Necessity.
Office holders and those dependent upon
their smiles, affect to be much embarassed
to ascertain which side honor requires them
to take in the contsst between Radicalism
and the President.
Strange that they should misunderstand
the practical workings of the maxim "to
the voters belong the spoils." Since 186 l
the Republicans have had a just claim to
the enjoyment of office, and most valiantly
have they asserted their right. The records
show that twice as many appointments were
made in the civil service under Mr. Lincoln
as had been made by all of his predeces
sors. Of this, Democrats had no right to
complain, and for five years they have pa
tiently " stood out in the cold," and despite
the subtle acts of a despotic foe have gal
lantly maintained their principles and their
organization.
Suppose there is difficulty in deciding
which wing of the Republicans is the par
ty that triumphed in 1861 and 1864, it
still does not affect the Democracy, and
can in no manner entitle them to claim
the spoils of office.
If tbe Piesident would assume to dic
tate to Congress "whom they should select
to fill the offices at their disposal lie would
justly merit and would undoubtedly receive
the severest rebuke, and yet he has pre
cisely the same right to do this that Con
gress has to dictate to him the recipients
of his official favors. Upon this subject
the Radicals have themselves settled the
question. Who does not remember that
within a brief two years the Radical shib
boleth was, " THE PRESIDENT IS THE GOV
ERNMENT. Oppose ihe President and you
oppose the Government. All men are
traitors who do not support the President."
Such were the daily utterance of the shod
dy loyalists ; Mr. Lincoln himself sanc
tioned the doctrine, ar.d their whole party
acted upon it. The unlawful seizure and
imprisonment of thousands of Democrats
have indelibly impressed upon our minds
this doctrine in all its length and breadth.
If then, Lincoln as President was the Gov
ernment, so Johnson as President is the
Government, and we commend to their lips
the chalice so rudely pressed to ours.
The officers are in the gift of the Execu
tive. If he believes his policy will restore
the Union and give prosperity to the whole
people, and if he believes he can strength
en his cause through the offices at his dis
posal, lie should at once and determinedly
use the means the Constitution and laws
have given him. Three fifths of the Re
publicans are within the controlling influ
ence of their party machinery, their voice
is stifled, they are induced to be silent by
tbe false assurance tbat all will yet be
well; that the differences will yet be heal
ed. They forget that ANDREW JOHNSON
proclaimed from the steps ot the Presiden
tial mansion, that THESE MEN "ARE TRAI
TORS." The hour for fraternization has
past, the breach is irieparable, the separa
tion is final.
Upon the question of re-construction the
Democracy in solid phalanx are supporting
the policy of the President. They seek
none of the offices. They have no just
claim to them. They regard the contest
as one of principle —one of greater im
portance was never submitted to the Amer
ican people. Its defeat will forever sink
the last hope of our free institutions, its
triumph will make a glorious future pos
sible for our noble country.
The influence of office holders/®r good,
is but slight; for evil they may be all pow
erful. As supporters of a measure they
weigh but little ;as its opposers they are
always felt. In a close contest, their op
position may turn the scale. In a deadly
struggle with "traitors," can it be that the
President will permit his office-holders to
themselves under the banner of trea
son and throw into the breach against him
the influence and position they hold at his
pleasure ? Measuring the vigor of the foe
and the magnitude of the issue, is it not
plainly his duty to use with unsparing hand
every means that the Cosstitution and laws
have cast upon him.
Under the sway of the Radicals, "MIL
ITARY NECESSITY" was held to justify any
violation of the Constitution and laws, and
row we hold that "CIVIL NECESSITY" en
joins the vigoroas use of every means that
are vested in the Executive under the
plain terms of the organic and statute laws.
The union of the States is the life of the
nation. Let the law of the land be whld
ed to preserve that life. The foe is a dan
gerous one and must be vanquished. The
disease is desperate and efficient remedies
•oust be resorted to. Halting measures
will not answer. A clean sweep must be
made. Pretended support of the Presi
dent will not do. Works must show the
faith of these gentlemen. They cannot
support Johnson and Stevens, they must
love the one and hate the other. They
must support the President's policy, they
must speak favorably of it, they must sup
port those who support it and oppose those
who oppose it. Determined, prompt and
energetic action on the part of the Execu
tive, is vitally essential. He can afford to
be bold in sustaining the right
The Ilarlraufl Congress of Negro-Free
lioverf#
The Ilartranft convention of "so called"
soldiers met at Pittsburg on the sth. The
meeting was got up under the auspices of
the Negro-Free-Love party, and the pro
ceedings of course, were characteristic.—
Wc do not propose critical analysis of
their resolves, but there are two or three
which, we fancy, will do to reprint. The
third resolve reads as follows:
That it is contrary to public policy, and subver
sive to the great principles icon by our patriotic
blood to permit any men to hold offices of honor or
profit under the general government, who, by word
embarrassed the Union armies, or cast odium on
the cause for whieh tbey fought.
"Our patriotic blood for shame, men ;
or are you niggers ? Don't you know ;
don't the world know; haven't Stevens
Brooraall, Kelly, Sumner, Wade, Wilson,
and the whole phalanx of disunionists
whom you worship, published it broad
cast over the land, that "nation was saved
by the supeiior bravery of the colored
troops," that if it had not been for nigger
soldiers you would have all been gobbled
up. " Our patriotic blood," forsooth; —
you ought to be ashamed of yourselves, to
be caught in such a mean act as robbing,
your own savoirs of the glory that the
Rump Congress awards them.
The fifth resolve, as* follows, however,
has some redeeming merit:
That such treatment should be accorded to the
defeated foe as the most chivalric magnanimity re
quires; but without yielding a principle comprising
the right, or abate all deserting an ally.
This is right, gentlemen, don't desert
your allies—your superiors, the negroes,
you should have said. It is modest in you
to claim the negro soldiers as your allies,
for, have not the leaders of your party de
clared them your superiors, and do yon not
claim them as your equals; well, allies if
you prefer that word. Now, don't think
that we are disposed to quarrel with you
on that point; on the contrary we concede
that you are right. The negro is as yood
as you are ; it would be folly for us to de
nv tlmt fact in the face of your open ac
knowledgment. Nay, we are disposed to
go a srreat deal farther, and say with Wil
son, Stevens, Broomal &Co , that the ne
gro is vastly your superiors. Our argu
ment on this point, we think unanswerable.
The man that would get into a wallow"with
a hog, would be pronounced all the world
over, as worse than a hog. So a white
man that places himself on a level with a
nesrro is worse than a negro.
We quote one more resolve without
comment:
Resolved, That the loyal majority of Congress de
serves our gratitude; that radical vices require rad
ical remedies, and that the nation should take no
step backward in her march to the grand destiny
that surely awaits the unfaltering aud persistent
adherence to the cause of equal freedom
And negro free-love.-&-A'r.
Getting Worse.
Genl's. Stcadman and Fullerton, find,
as they progress Southward, that the plun
derings of the Negro Bureau agents, are
more outrageous in Georgia and South
Carolina than in Virginia. The Massa
chusetts School Masters are charging their
"colored brethren." at Hilton Head, $3,00
for cork, that costs them Si, 3o. This
margin is termed "loyalty." The bureau
also charges two thirds of the products of
the farm, then however, they charge the
darkies nothing for keeping the Sunday
Schools and Prayer meetings. If those
Puritan hypocrites are not closely watched
by the government officers they will sell
all the able-bodied darkies to Cuban slave
dealers, before another year passes around,
and cither work to death or starve the
balance of those they 3cem to love so
dearly. The grandton of the man that
cheated the Indian out of his land in Mas
sachusetts, and compelled his neighbor to
sing and pray like himself, or loose his
ears, tongue or life, will do the same things
in South Carolina, if he is not watched.—
The people that work white factory girls
to death, have very little conscience when
they get hold of a plantation darkey, or a
"rebei" tenement.
The Issue
The Disunion politicians are playing at
their old game of deceiving the people in
to the belief that the question of negro
suffrage and negro equality, while by their
every act of legislation and by tho lan
guage of the holder of their ' great party
lights' they give the lie to their own pro
fessions. Wendell Philips, at a recent
meeting in Boston, told th® people there,
where no defeat from conservative votes is
feared, exactly what i 3 meant by negro
suffrage, and a perusal of the language of
that arch Disunionist will convince every
one that it forms a recognized article in
the creed of the Radicals, and that it is
their cherished one idea. Here is an ex
tract from Philips' speech :
Negro suffrage, said Mr. Philips means
a score of negro Congressmen sitting in
the House of Representatives. It means
colored merchants in New Orleans, and
colored Senators in Columbia. It means
negro representatives sharing in making
railroad laws and other laws. It means
social equality and that was where the
Southerner met the question. Social
equality follows hard on the heels of the
ballot-box, and the South knows it, and
she resists npgro suffrage for what must
follow it.
WHY Not. —The Chicago Times says it
is the duty of the President to arrest Thad.
Stevens, Phi lips, Sumner and others fur
the " crime of treason," whereat the Radi
cal organs are bustling with indignation.
Can they give any reason why it should
not be done ? They call upon the presi
dent to render " treason odious," and when
it is proposed to do so by arresting their
treasonable leaders—the men who are op
posed to a restoration of the Union and
who are laboring to establish the doctrine
of secession—they howl with rage. The
imprisonment of honest men, during the
last four years, was quite fashionable—but
these men are undoubted traitors, disloyal
to the Constitution and Government. If
military arrests were right then, why are
they wrong now ? If it was treason then
to oppose the President why is it not now?
Are not men, who arc endeavoring to sub
vert the Government, traitors ? Are not
the Radicals in Congress endeavoring to
subvert the Government?
Where are they t
The question "What becomes of all the
pins 1" now sinks into significance beside
another inquiry of more serious moment. —
What has become of all the gold watches ?
This country has been famous for these
glittering time pieces. Not a well to do
gentleman in any part of the land but had
his gold ticker ; they were an indispensa
ble portion of a young lady's daily attire ;
and even beardless boys were eager to
possess the coveted treasure, and c'auld not
wait for it until they came to man's estate.
But, unfortunately for the happy owners of
these elegant articles, the eye of the greedy
tax-gatherer was caught by their glitter,
and they were to be made to contribute to
the national revenue. Any gold watch in
use, worth less than one hundred dollars,
was to be charged one dollar, and valued
over one hundred dollars was to pay two
dollars tax, per annum At this precise
moment, bv a singular coincidence a large
part cfthe gold watches in many States
disappeared from record. The sudden van
ishing of so much valuable property should
be a matter of public concern, and we de
sire to direct toward it the attention of all
who are interested, in the hope of obtain
ing some explanation of this remaikable
phenomenon. The following, from the
latest official return of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, exhibits the extent of
this startling loss, and may partially aid in
its recovery :
GOI.D WATCHES IN TIIE UNITED STATES.
[IVom the ojficial returns.)

Thus we have only 7,896 gold watches
left, out of all the thousands which
were owned before the war ; and some
States have not ajsinglc specimen. Rhode
Island, the home of the wealthy Senator
Sprague, has not one of the yellow treas
ures. even of the most inferior description
Connecticut has not one. and her late pa
triotic Governor, it is fair to infer, sports
only a silver bull's eye of the antique pat
tern. And Wisconsin ? lowa ? Minnesota?
Kansas? and the other blanks. Alas! we
have no answer. Vermont has two, but
they are worth less than one hundred dol
lars. Only two gfdd watches of any do
scription in all Vermont ! In Michigan
there is one. Who is the fortunate man ?
Will not some Historical Society in that
bereft commonwealth give us the name of
this fortunate gentleman who still retains
his yellow time piece? Strange to say,
Mi ssouri heads the list and lias been the
least "spoiled ' by the threatening tax
gatherer, — Correspondent of Juu rnal o
Commerce.
ORGANIZATION. —There never was a time
when the Democracy of Pennsylvania
needed more thorough organization than
now. The Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee is a gentleman of great
ability and indomnitable industry, and is
doing all in his power to marshal! the whole
Democratic and Conservative army' into
line. Perhaps no one could be found in
the State who is more competent to direct
the business he has undertaken than Mr.
Wallace and we feel confident that noth
ing will be left undone by him to secure
the object so much desired. But there is
something more needed than vigor and ca
pacity on the part of the Chairman. There
must be a hearty co-operation among the
the masses. The people must work in
their own immediate localities. Every
man mast consider himself enlisted for the
campaign from this day until the battle has
been fought in October next. Are our
friends awake to importance of complete
organization ? If the masses arouse them
selves and do their duty in the pending
contest, the Disunionists, with Geary at
their head, will be swept like chaff before
the wind in the October gale which is to
overwhelm the Rumps with utter destruc
tion.—Aye.
The Radicals iu Maryland.
The radicals are bound to bo crushed
out. It is impossible that they should re
tain power long outside of New England.
They did. hope they had the Stat<* of Ma
ryland so shackled that they would be able
to hold it for years The infamous regis
tration law which they adopted was meant
to secure that result Under it a very
large majority of the best citizens of the
State were disfranchised. The ver\ strin
gency of the law promises, however, to its
speedy repeal. The more decent among
those who have been registered as Union
men are unwilling to deprive their neigh
bors and friends from voting for the sake
of keeping a few corrupt scoundrels in
office. Accordingly we find the split re
cently made in the organization calling
itself the Union party extending all over
the State. In the coming election a ma
jority will be elected to the Legislature
who who will repeal the registration law.
The recent letter of Governor Swann shows
that he will freely sign such a bill. As
soon as that i 3 done there will be aa end of
radical rule in Maryland forever. 1
I,awreiice Explains.
Our readers will remember the attempt
that was made, a few weeks ago, by Mr.
George V. Lawrence, an Ex-Senator, and
present member of Congress from Wash
ington (Pa.) District, to convict his former
colleague, HBISTER CLYMER, of using in
sulting language toward President Johnson.
They will also remember how completely
Mr. L. failed to substantiate his charge ;
for when the speech of Mr. Clymer, in
which he alleged the offensive language
was used, was produced and read, he found
to his astonishment and chagrin (what lie
might have known before had he taken the
pains to look) that it did not contain any of
those expressions. Mr. Lawrence became
restive under the sharp criticism of the
Democratic press upon the manner in which
he was caught in his own trap, and byway
of apology or explanation, wrote a letter to
the Pittsburg Post:
HOI SE OK REPRESENTATIVES, )
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10, 1866. /
JAMES I'. BARR,
DEAR SIR: —ln your paper ofyesterday
you make a most ungenerous assault on
me—for what 1 was represented as saying;
but what I did not say. I send you a true
copy of what I did say —and you can't find
nothing in it unkind to the President.
I have always had a high personal re
gard for Hon. 11. Clymer, and did not
think I was wrong in referring to his lea
dership of his party, or to his record, po
litically. Y'ou will see I called him a per
sonal friend and an honest man. Was
this traducing him ?" I claim the right to
refer to his public record—which has al
ways been straight forward and consistent,
and I am sure he could not condemn that ;
but I shall never condescend to say a word
against hnn personally. So far as lam in
formed, no man can charge hiin with any
dishonest act, or iVoid avoiding the respon
sibility of any political act.
Yours, truly,
G. V. LAWRENCE.
Very good, Mr. Lawrence! A forced
confession is better than none at all. We
can forgive your attempts to injure Mr.
Clymkk, more particularly as it was a fail
ure, after so frankly adding to vour testi
mony to that already volunteered by other
leading Republicans, that our candidates
for Governor is an honest man. No one
lias had better opportunities for knowing
the fact than yon. And does not this
plundered and debt-ridden old Common
wealth of ours need ju>t such a man for
her chief magistrate? W ho that is acquain
ted with the affairs of the State, does not
know that the most pressing of all her
needs is a hold and honest Governor who
whenever as'oid responsibility, bit fearless
ly confront any man or any con hii ation of
men who may seek the promotion of indi
vidual interests at the expense of the gen
eral welfare.
Democrats of Pennsylvania you may
ju tly he proud of you candidate when the
bitterest ofhis political opponents her testi
mony to his unflinching courage and his
inflexible honesty.

SOLDIERS CONVENTION OF CUM
BERLAND COUNTY.
Geary Repudiated by ills own Soldiers.
The so'diers of Cumberland county met
in Convention at Carlisle, at the call of Gen.
Hartranft, on Monday, the 28th n!t. The
meeting was large and enthusiastic. So
cial Ca/'tu'jis, ohseiviug the unexpected
completion, withdrew.
-The following resolutions were then of
fered by Captain Lloyd and unanimously
adopted :
We, the soldiers of Cumberland Co.,
who took part in the war for the Union,
beinii this day assembled in Convention,
-under the call of M; j. Gen. Hartranft, da
hereby declare to our fellow citizens our
sentiments:
lie.wived. That having fought for the
Union, and assisted in restoring th- nation
al authority throughout the land, we are
unalterably opposed to the radio il r volu
tionists in Congress, who are attempting to
do what the rebels failed to do—sub\ert
our free institutions and destroy the Union.
Resolved, That the rebellion being crush
ed, and its armies dispersed, the people ot
the Southern States should he immediately
restored to their rights in the I tiion, and
loyal representatives should he admitted to
Congress : and we declare the late action
of Congress, excluding those States for
four years from representation, and at tbe
same time making them subject to taxation,
to l>e unjust and tyrannical.
Resolved , That this Government was
made for white men, and should he so per
petuated ; and we are therefore opposed to
negro suffrage, and will sustain no candi
date for office who will not avow himself
unequivocally opposed to negro sufl'ragu
and negro equality.
Resolved, That we will sustain no party
which seeks to detract from the honor
justly due to white soldiers, of conquering
the rebellion and saving the Union, by de
claring that without the assistance of the
negro,t he cause would have been lost, and
'•the negro bears the palm."
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
equalization of the bounties to the soldiers
and sailors who fought in the war for the
Union ; and we urcre uoon Congress
speedy legislation to effect this object.
Resolved, That we will stand by An
drew Johnson in his noble efforts to de
feat the bold had men who stand in the
way of the restoration of the States to their
full constitutional rights, and that we he
lieve that in his magnanimous policy is on
ly to he found a sure road to a restoration
of a union of hearts, and Union of States,
and peace and prosperity to the whole of
our land.
Resolved, That we believe that Hon.
Ileister Clymer, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, holds upon
all the great principles of public policy
views similar to our own, and is a firm
supporter of President Johnson, and that
therefore we will support hirn with our
voices and with our votes.
S3T The Union League advertises for
all soldiers out of employment to engage in
peddling pictures of General Geary ! This
is not quite what they were promised while
the war was going on.
A few days since a coffin containing the
body of a lad v wag shipped from Parkert*

horror and dismay may he imagined upon
that the unfortunate lady had
evidently come to life during her incarcera
tion within the narrow limits of her coffin.
Her hands were up to her head, and tan
gled and disorded hair gave evidence of a
struggle which must have been as brief M
terrible.
