WUI Jk ' T4-W-6e % J " L - R - s *fT* i g -- ~ HOW THE tVORI) WHITE IS TO BE GOT OUT OFTHE CONSTITUTION. THL RUMP AMENDMENT TO SUPERCEDE A DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. "The question of negro suffrage does not and cannot enter into this campaign for Governor. It is not befote the people in any shape. The members of the L<-gila tore to be elected tbis fail cannot act on this subject. Gen. Geary, as Governor, will have no tintv to perforin in the premises during bis first term. The people them selves must first act before the Governor can do anything on the subject. Here,then are t' e facts. Negro stiff, age is not an is sue in this contest. The iaw forbids the question being an issue." — Hatrisbury Ttleyrtph. The above tissue of falsehoods shows how anxious the Gearyite* are to avoid the real issue in the present contest The question of negro suffrage can and does enter into this campaign for Govern r, first, because it can be made an issue at any time, and second, because it has been made an issue, by every speaker now oil the stump fbrtieaiy ; dy everv newspaper in Geary,s interest in Pennsylvania; by fully OlK— hall of the Disunion nominating conventions; by the mixed Brownlow- Douglass convention now in session in 7\''iladelp!iia ; and by the rump amend ment to M'C Constitution, which proposes to grant t'ui! r >!oi or race. The members of the L g sD'nre to be— elected this year can act on the su.'jeet.— The Constitution was amended in lftS* and five tears thereafter, (in 1i69,) can be amended again. The members to be elect ed this fall will constitute the Legislature of 18C7. They can pass an amendment - the parliamentary requirement. The Leg islature to be elected next year for 1868 can ratify it and call a special election in January, 1869, to have it ratified by the people before the assembling of the Leg's- Dtureof 1869; or they can submit it at a special or general election in 18158, and call an extra session on the fii*-t of January, 18- 69, to count the votes, and if adopted add it to the Cons'itnt'on. Thus State Senators to be elected ibis full, fot three y ears, can vote for a negro suffrage amendment in 18 67, and agai.i in 1868. Even if the matter should no be broached till 1868. the Sena tors now to be elected would have to ac! upon th-' preliminary passage. It i> el. ar— ly evident, theicfore that tlie members now to be elected can act upon this sub ject. Te arc willing to giant that "General Geary, as Governor, will hav •no duty to perform in the premises," bee uise there is no probability whatever of his election.— Suppose, however, for illustration, that h • should be elected. His term would o ex pire till after the 7th ofJmnary, 1870, so that he could s pprovc such an amendment, whether preliminary proceedings were Start ed in 1867 or 1863. The statement that the "le.yv foibids the question being an issue," is a very stupid falsehood . Where is there any law forbid ding it ? It would be a good thing if there were a prohibitory law. It is true that a negro suffrage amend ment to the Con-titution of Pennsylvania would have to l>e submitted to a vote of the people after affirmative action of two successive Legislature, but such a question should never he allowed to go so far. Men favorable to sneh a change in tbe Constitn tion should not be elected as members and Senators. Tliev are not trustworthy upon other questions, if favorably to that. But there is another point,of graver importance. It is shis : The Legislature to he elected this fall will be called upon to ratify or reject the amendment to the Federal C n-titiition proposed by the late Rump Congress. One of its sections proposes to make citizens of all persons born in the United States ; t-> prohibit anv State from abridging the priv ileges and immunities of the citizens thus created, and to prevent any State front de priving anv person of lif •. liberty, property or equal protection of the laws All this is elearlv intended for the benefit of the blacks for alt men born in the United States have ALWAYS enjoved those natural, civil and political rights, except the negroes. Thw proposed amendment makes so clear a con tradistinction between the natural and civil rightsflife, liberty, property and and polit eal "privileges and immunities,"* (tbe privileges of voting, holding offi-e, Arc.,)that thero can be no reasonab'e doubt thrown against the belief that it is a well concocted though covert scheme intend d to establish and enforce negro suffrage and equality in all the States without submit - ting the question to a dirfct vote of the. people ! This amendment, when once in corporated into the Federal Constitution will be binding upon all the States, The Federal Consti'ntinn ssys it shall he "the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding Thus the word "white may be 6trnck from the Constitution without a legislative amenndmcnt, and without submitting the question to the people ! When the Rnmp amendment shall he p-ssed, the question | then goes beyond the jurisdiction of our State Courts, onr Legislature and the peo ple. Salmon P Cha*e and his Radical, negro suffrage Court will have exclusive authority to interpret and determine. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. " —Thomaa Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 3, 1866. the coming election, pledged and sworn , against tlie issue of negro suff;ago,f or citi j zensliip,)which is now before the country in the shape of the Rump amendment. The Geary Disunionists f< ar to go before the people upon a DIRECT VOTE to strike out the word "white," and therefore they are laboring to elec men who will ratify the Rump amendment to the Federal Constitu tion, and thereby override onr State Con stitution and the will of tbe people. It is but a modification of he name which the same school of politicians played successful ly upon the people of Wisconsin. Poeple wake up ! White men, if you want to preserve the ba!lot-b>x pure, and to bequeath to your children the Same white man's G vernment which you re ceived from your ancestors, aron-e and de feat the tricksters, who, to subserve their own base pui poses, tell their adherents to "throw conscience to the devilwho says that "it is numheis not intelligence we want and who blasphemously cry—"To hell with the Constitution F* Now is the time to strike for your country ! The is.-ue is clearly before you, and if yon fail to meet it now, and defeat Disunion ar.d Negroism the I.lst hope will be gone forever ! GEARY'S PHOTOGRAPH, During Gurey's Governorship in Kan sas, the N. Y. Tribune said of liitn : "Gov. Geary is not a General Jackson. He is not, on the other hand, a respectable tyrant, nor yet an imbecile, lie is mere ly a politician, and the miserable tool of a miserable faction lie came here not to make it appear that there was peace; not to put an end to iniquity, but to cover up iniquity for a little while, so that the smoke its burning might not ascend to Heaven as an evidence against the perpetrators of all these v'illatnies. Gov. Geary has indis creetly boast. d that he had a "Presiden tial candidate to carry on his shoulders." Under tliis impiession, he had a "Presi d ntial candidate io carry on his shoul dir." I'ioud of this anticipated impprial weight, the Governor has tint for an instant al lowed his executive nerve to be unsteaiied bv groans of an enslaved young empire. The bleeding ruin of American liberties lias been scattered at his feet, and not one man y republican throb ha stirred his In-art t > the bo'd thorough action lie owes Kansas All his eff >rts have to holster and strengthen the P o Slavery party; hence th.-y remain satisfied with their master; — wbi eat the sanm time he is loud in his prote-tions and declarations of impartial— ty, justice. &r,c. Gov. Geary is either a very d'gnified man or a very pompons one perhaps a little of both. He is a pro found egotist, and talks about what he is and intends to be, in a somewhat ostenta tious manner. Gov. Geary is a determin ed man, without the capacity to determine on anv systematic course. He has an iron will witont a purpose, his only aim being to carry the aforesaid Presidential candi date safely on his shoulders, and that is under instructions." Garey is now indeed the "miserable tool of a miserable faction." But this time he lias the negro to carrv on his shoulders.— Will the people help him to carry the load ? AN ELF.CTION FUND VOTED BV CON GRESS. —A good di al of surprise has been expressed that Congress did not postpone the vote increasing the pav of its members until the next session. The extra $2,000 was needed to seenre their re-election.— Each member has that sum extra to he devoted to this specific purpose. The Radical members are thus put in posses sion of a grand corruption fund amounting to something over $300,000, taken directly out of the public treasury, and distributed ammg its memb-rs nearlv everyone of whom is to be a candidate for re-p'eetion. It wa proclaimed beforo the session closed that congress must be suitn'm r d by the re elecfion of its present m •mners. It is now clear that this increase ot pav was one of the practical measures by which this result is t<> be brought a out. FSGT WHITR MKV, recollect that the aho litio'-.'candidate for Governor JOIIN W. GKARY, walked in Ihe procession with ne groes at the Philadelphia convention, sat on the same platform with tlirm, made speech s (excuse us he can't do that) "spoke" from the stand thev did. received them, welcomed them, applauded % them, and in everv possible manner, proved that he believed tlvm lIIS EQU ALS. Do you think they are your equals ? Tf so vote for Geary who savs he would "rather .associate with decent negroes than with dirty faced, white copperheads." THE TWO CONVENTIONS. — After review ing the proceedings of the Philadelphia convention —the National convention of the 14th of August and the Radical con vention which hasjnet closed its proceed ings, the New York Sun (Rep.) # tersely sums np as follows : "Taking the proceedings of the two conventions together, and banishing all po litical prejudices, the onlv conclusion to which * candid ntan can come is thi: The conservative convention ignored party fr th" sake of the Union; and that the ignored the Union for the sake of party." ° GEARY'S HUMANITY. In a late number of the Lancaster Intel liyencer appeared the following article, | which should be read by every friend of humanity in the country. JPhen any | Catholic is asked to vote for the Know- Nothing Geary, let him remember this ! statement of authentic facts ! BRUTAL TREATMENT OF SISTERS OF CHARITY BV JOHN W. GEARY. John IE. Geary, with his narrow intel ' lectaud bigoted nature, we have no doubt 4 • ! made a most acceptable member of that infamous political organization which pro ! scribed men on account of their birth or i religious belief. llis hatred ot Catholics did not end with the short-lived triumph of the Know-Nothing party. It adhered to him, and was afterwards displayed in the most offensive mar.ner possible. One of the rnovt int. I iirent, wealthy, and respectable citizens of Frederick, Ma ryland, sends tip the following statement of an occurrence, which shows in its true light and tyranieal characfer of the vain up start w ho i- the Radical candidate for Gov ernor ef Pennsplvania. He give the facts in his own language To the Editors ot the hilflliyencer. DEAR SIRS : It occurs to me that jus tice demands that the rude and brutal manner in wliieh some Si.-ters of Chanty were treated by John B'. Geary, should be known in order tliat tbe Catholic citizens of Pi nnsylvania may understand the char acter and the spirit cf the man who ap peals to them f.-r sipport at the coning Gubernatorial election. The facts will lie suffice nt without anv comment, though you are, of course, at liberty to use them as vou See fit lii the full of 1864, under protection of a pass f.om General Scott, some four or th e Si.-ters of Charity It ft the St. Joseph'.- House at Emmitt-burg, on their mission to nurse tlic sick and wounded soldiers ot both armies. They had pe mission to vis 't any point along: the line of contest from Winchester to Richmond, as tin ii" services might he needed While traveling on the cars of the Baltimore and Ohio Mail road, under ohn W. Geary. In a rude manner they, with their haggagh, were removed from the car.- and left among crowds of soldiers a-d rough camp followers, sitting without shelter on their trunks by the -oadside. It was not until after repeated solicitations that Colonel Geary consented to grant an interview to the princ pal sister, a lady of education and refinement, as were her as sociates. Finallv this military dignitary gave orders to have her led into Ins august presence bv a guard. In vain did site explain fully the char itable character of her holy mi sion; in vain did she exhibit the generd unrestrict ed pqcs given her hv the Oommandei-in— Phief at Washington, authorizing her to go, with her associates, wherever their ho lv miss-'on might call ll em, or wh-revcr they might he needed to nurse the wound ed and cnsole the dying; in vain did she heg to he allowed to proced as several parlies of Sisters had been allowed to do unmolested before, over the same route; in vain did sbe sneak of the crying w-ant s of the wounded, the sick, ihc dving sol diers of the Union armv. to relieve and succor whom was a great part of her mis s;on: in vain did she assure this petty tyrant (Geary) that <>hc had nursed the sick and wounded soldiers of all parties in the Cri mean war, without molestation or hin draoce. receiving from Turk and Russian no le-s courtesy and kindness than she did fiom Frenchmen arid Englismen : in vain did she protest with tearful entreaties against such usage in her native land, after having traveled on a rimdar mission all over Europe unmolested, John W. Gea rv. a bigot bv nature and a pettv tvrant in bis position, thrust ber and her compan ions into the cars and sent them baek to Frederick Pit v. on their wav to the House of St. Joseph, from which thev came. The Surgeon-General at Frederick, a high toned genth man, and a native of Philadelphia, hearing of the manner in whiehthe Sisters of Pharitv bad been itested bv Geary, and fearing the d-Mnagri"g effect which such brutal conduct, wnu'd have upon the many thousands of Patho'ic sol 'iers who were fighting in the front ranks of the armv. at once dispatched an orderly to General Ranks at headquarters near Poolsville, with a letter containing a a statement of the. conduct rf General Geaiv. which letter will ho found offic : allv recorded on the hacks of the Medical Di rector. The adjutant, after riding all night, returned to Frederick with an im perative order, commanding General Gea rv to esort in neron place safelv on the southern side of the Pctoraae the said Sisters of Charity, and to give to them PV erv assistance to a : d them in the discharge of their sacred mission of morcv. With what grace he could after his brutal con duct, Gearv did escort them beyond the Potomac, after having endeavored to set himself up as superior to the Commander in-f'hief. • Anv soldier who was under Geary at Point of Rooks at the time alluded to will ! remember his treatment of these Sisters of Charity. He will not dare to denv one word of the ahove statement. If he should the Medical Director and the Sisters will testify to the entire truthfulness of what it Tht tbovt facts have been furnished in the shape in which they ap pear, as We have stated, by one of the wealthiest, most intelligent and honorable men in the City of Frederick. They show w hat a mean and miserable bigot John W. Geary is. We hope our contemporaries will give the statement awide circulation. GENERAL GKANT will soon be as bitterly opposed by the Radicals as the President himself. Not being able to obtain Ids as sistance to carry out their treasonable de signs upon tte country, they will now let loose their hounds upon his track. -Thus Jack Hamilton, in a speech recently made at Cleveland, alternated his usual abuse of the President with assaults on Congress, and said, that II Andrew Johnson should be deposed by a writ of impeachment, and any military commander, even Grant him self.should respond to his call o.i the milita ry .commander would b>* unmade even more speedily than he had been made. This is Radical gratitude towards the leader of the " Boys in Blue." The Radicals are loud in their eulogies ot the "Boys in Blue," and aie constantly talking of the debt of gratitude which the nation owes them. But when the Radical Gongress gave a practical il lustration of the Radical idea of a debt a of gratitude, they did so by voting two years'extra pay as folloyvs : For eacli white solkiet, SSO; lor each neyro soldier, SBJO. That mode of liquidating a debt ot gratitude is peculiarly Padical. If the "Boys in Blue" doubt their sincerity, and attribute their apparent friendship rather to hypocrisy than to patriotism, the Radicals must not blame the soldiers. John W. FORNEY, the big gun of the Geary-Disunion party, gives up the con test in despair. He has been traveling through the diferent sections of th • Stat<- making speeches for General Geary, but he lias seen the hand writing on the wall, and knows that no earthly power can preient Hon. Hiester Clymer from being the m-xi Governor of Pennsylvania. Laucuster (I J u.) Intelliyencer, In addition to the above, we arc inform ed by one of Mr. Forney's confidential ad visers, that he is, also, in utter dsp a i r at the slimness of his chances for United State- Senators. He can only count seven votes in the Rad cal caiisus—two in Bucks, and three in Berks, and two is Montgomery provided his party carries the election in those districts ! IN BOSTON. PARSON BROWVLOW SAID : 1 am on a political expedition, fitted out at Philadelphia,onr main object being to icipe out tbe moccasin tracks of Andrew Jobnson, Win. 11. Seward, and the other untamed and unmitigated copperheads who are creeping and sliming along in lluir wake. The "untamed aid unmitigated copper heads" who composed the party of tbe President were General Grant, Gsuera' Mead.*, Admiral Farragut, and other brave men of the army and navy, and these are the men against whom the political "Tore! and-Turpentine" expedition was fitted out at Philadelphia. The New York Herald thus ridicule the attempt of the Radical leaders to blar ney adopted eitizens.bv going to their me. ;t --ii g< and pretending fti-t.d-hip for them : These old Know Nothings and Pur tanical fanat cs /hink they can come "the rich Irish brogue" over our Irish fellow citizens The idea ot th-se negro worsliip i: g politicians of the Puritan New Eng land sclioo 5 , pretending to have any love for liishmen is supremely farcical. This only shows to what humbug and deception the Jacolrn faction will resort in their des perate effoits to save their party. THADEUS STEVENS I I NEGRO EQUALITY J ! ! BLACK. BLUK. BLACK. Thad Stevens, Aleck Mc CI lire and John Williamson made speeches on Tuesday night, S ptetnher 4ili in Bedford, and each one spoke for NEGRO SUFFRAGE and NEGRO EQUALITY. Old Thad said the "NEGRO IS THE ISSUE, GER MANS, IRISMEN. AND WERE ALL EQUAL SO LONG AS I LIVE I WILL MAINTAIN TIIIS DOC TRINE." McClure said he would never agree to the restoration of the Union UNTIL THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE PUT THEIR NEGROES UPON A PERFECT EQUA LITY WITH THEM I,ELVES. William son said. " A NEGRO HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO VOTE AS AN IRISHMAN, AND MORE." Now is the doctrine of the Radica's. Republicans cannot deny this. We can prove it by a hundred wit nesses. In the name of heaven, can any decent man endorse it ? Tlie Radical Disunior.ists are crow ing considerably over a new advocate of their sinking cause in the pet son of B*-- ofthe New York H mid, ° . ne . . . . „ kiows enough to porke* *" ,i the lovo' u- * " J tH-gotton money thieves mav offer him, hut at the same time he tells them some very unpalat able ruths.

TBRMs t a,oo pan awnt3U ''such as may be based upon an uncondi tional surrender their hostility and are turn to their just, allegiance to the Constitu tion and laws of the United Stales." The iei>elslnve returned to "their just allegiance to the Constitution and iaws of the United States," and President Johnson as his 44 highest duty." is now endeavoring to maintain, against the present Northern Disunionists as he did against Southern se cessionists," the integrity of the Union and the paramount authority of the Constitu titution and laws." JFhere then, is the treason ? Furthen than this. In July, 1861, Con gress passed the following resolution : " Resolved , That this war is not "Waged on our partjin any spirit of oppression or for any purpose of conquest, or for interfor ing with THEKIOHTS OR ESTABXJSHEC INSTI- Turioxs of these States but to DEFENiJ and MAINTAIN the SUPREMACY of the C ONSITTL riON, and to preserve the Union with ALL THE DIGNITY and RIGHTS of the several States UNIM PAIRED." President Johnson (then Senator) intra duced this resolution. Has he ever denied or repudiated it in word or act? Did the Republican convention £af Baltic ra ire, which nominated hiin, ask him to repudiate it? By no means. Andrew Johnson was taken as the Republican can didate with that resolution as his pole star and lliough the demagogues, who followed him to gather the spoils of office and the wreck of war, have thrown away the chart President JohnsoN continues to steer the ■ hip of State by that fixed point in the Northern political heavens. Is that trea son. But wi ois this Geary ? A fPhig—A I'oitage Railroad Democrat—a Know Nothing— a J.m Lane Freesoiler, by bit own confession—a Democrat without pre fix or affix*' —and now a negro suffrage Disunionist, working againsL ''the iutcg" rity of the I nion and the paramount su premacy of the Constitution and laws of the United States." Voters, who is the traitor? The lTsunionists accuse Johnson, Cowan, Doolittle, and the thousands of Un : on men who are .-upporting the Union policy, of treason to their party. Will they please say what that party is ? In 1854 th-re was a Know Nothing party which, after a brief existence in a chrysalis state, came out of its shell and called itself the "Republican party" B'-forc it got I out perfectly drv it ealled itself the M . Peo pie's partybut soon afterwards changed j that for the "American Republican pa ty.** Soon after, this prefix was dropped and an other substituted, making it the "Demo cratic Republican party." The war came,, and off went the old skin and out came Iho animal as the "Union Party." Since then its adherents have been pleased to stvle themselves variously as "Union leaguers,'* " oyalist," "f/tiioiiiests." "war democrats," "patriots," " radicals," Arc. — Now they call their organization the " Un ion Republican party," or ** Radical tuyty,. as suits the company. To which of those various stages of existence have the per sons alluded to become traitors. GEN. BCTLKR. who, we believe, intend* to stump Pennsylvania for Gen. Gearv, in dicated his preference for negro suffrage, last week, in this emphatic manner : "Had the negro been armed, the result would have been far different. We armed him with the musket when he was fit to ! use it ; shall we not arm. him with the ballet? There is apr judice against the negro on | the question of labor. When the labor ! saving machinery was introduced into Eng ! land, the laboring classes rose and destroy ed it, because they thought it wou'd take away the work that brought them bread. "Suppose we were only looking for ex pediency. The Stvtes must come back.— We want a loyal constituency in those States. Where will thev come from ? a "'Sitter of self -protection, as a matter of economy, the negro must have a vote As *oon as the Radicals get the, power they 1 "whit,-"- from the Constitution of Pennsylvania.— Let the- honest tax payers remember this i at thi "|>wllofr-box. C VOL. 6 NO. 9. WHO IS THE TRAITOR John W. Geary said at Huntingdon, the other day, in a two mfnnU. speech, that "He would not prove a traitor because Andrew Johnson did " To whom or to what lias Andrew John son proved a traitor? Not to the Union for he is doing all in his poser to restore t, in all its integrity. Not to the party which nominated and elected him in 1864, for the platform upon which he was made Vice Pr> sident, says— " That it is. the highest duty of every American citizens to maintoin against all thqir enemies, the integrity •/ the Union and the paramount authority of the Consti tution and /kwj of the United Stntes:" and th it there shall be no terms of peace offered except—
