THi: RESOLUTIONS. Continued from last weet. Whereas, The ConveDtion maaged and controlled byjpoliticians, which as sembled in Pittsburg on the 5th or June last, pledged the officer, soldiers, and sailors of Pennsylvania to the Radical disunion members of Congress, and as opposed to the just and constitutional restoration policy of President Johnson ( ond ... Whereas, The members of the said Convention falsely styled themselves the representatives of the soldiers and sai lors of Pctmtylvania, and presumed to speak for them without authority ; and ' Wiiereas, The proceedings of the 8aid Convention misrepresent the true sentiments of the great mass or the re turned soldiers and sailors of this State, and do great injustice to the late defen ders of the Constitution and tho Union ; therefore be it . Resvlvai, That we, the authorized representatives of our late companions in arms, do repudiate the proceedings of the Pittsburg Convention of the 5th of June, because they do not teprescnt tho true scnt'mcbts of the officers, soldiers, and seamen of Pennsylvania. Resolved, That we hold the same be lief now that we did when we took up arms in 1801, that the war was for the Uuton, and for do other purpose ; that the agreement made with the govern meat when we took up arms to defend, her agaiust armed rebellion is found in the joint resolution of Congress, adopt ed July 22d, 1861, which declares that this war is not prosecuted on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, but to defcud and maintain tho supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired This is the bond many sealed with their lives, and many others signed in blood Resolved, That the failure of Con gress to carry into effect this joint reso. lution after the war is over, and to re store the Union with all the dignity. equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, is a gross violation of a solemn compact made with the do fenders of tho government at her time of greatest need and peril. Resolved, That we repudiate the ac tion of the Radical Congress, which is an insult to every officer, soldier and seaman who served in the Federal army curing the rebellion. Iticir policy as- scits that our victories accomplished what the enemy could not, divided the Union, and the fruits of our . toil and blood bought victories turned to ashes in their hands. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the restoration policy of President John1 son, as announced in his annual, special and veto nicssogcs, and as further uiado koown to the country in his treatment of the States lately in rebellion We believe it to be just and humane, and better adapted than auy other known policy to restore, those States to tliei constitutional relations to the Union and bring renewed peace, happiness and prosperity to the country. It is in keeping which a magnanimous victor awards to a brave foe. Resolccl, That the action of Con gress in refusing scats to the Senators and members from the South, who bear true allegiance to the Constitution and laws, whilo that body is encased in changing the fundamental Lw of th country in an important particular, is revolutionary in its action ; while thci conduct in tasiug the South without her consent strikes at tho vital princi pic of eonstitutional liberty that ticro can be no taxation without represents, tion. Resolved, That we are opposed to negro suffrage, and all legislation that has tor its object the raising of the ne gro to social and political equality of the white man, or to make him a pet of the nation, meets our unqualified disap - proval. Ho and his friends should be satibfied that the war has given his race the boon of freedom, and should not aim to control the destinies of the coun, try. Jeyhxdt That wc return thanks to il . 1 . ; -: TOIIN O. II ALU Editor. Ood for giving victory to the Federal armies over armed insurgents, and wo congratulate the couutry upon a return of peace. It is as mnch our duty now to use our best endeavors to heal op the wounds of the rebellion, ns it was to take up arms in defence of the Union. Resolved, That we deny that John W. Geary is the soldiers' candidato for Governor of Pennsylvania. He is the choice of the Radicals, who are seeking to destroy the Union we perilled our lives to preserve. The men who placed him in nomination and who are now his most active supporters, repudiate tne object of tho war by declaring the South out of the Union, and by accept. ng their nomination, he assumes their principles, which violate everything he contended for in the field. eVsocxw, That we endorse the nomi nation of the Hon. Hicstcr Clymcr, the Democratic candidato for Governor of Pennsylvania, because ho is a man of integrity and a statesman of experience, and approves the principles we advocate. We call upon our late companions in arms in this State to rally to his support, for his election will be an endorsement of the cause for which wc fought and bled, while his dctcat will be a defeat of tho cause of the Union. Resnlved, That the Radiouls in Con gress, professing to speak for the major ity of the people, have recently testified their preference for the negro by ap propriating money to support him in idleuess, by the payment to linn of a bounty of $300, and the repudiation of the white soldier and his claims by the passage of a bounty bill allowiug but 6100 to him, without even a provision appropriating money for the payment of the same, thus disregarding his faithful and patriotic services, demonstrates to the country their belief in the assertion that the negro bears the palm. Rctohed. That we. the soldiers of Pennsylvania, iti Convention assembled, do return our sincere thauks to the Hons. Edgar A. Cowaa and Charles R. Ruckalew, our representatives in tho Senate of the United States, for their noble conduct in sustaining the l'rcsi dent's policy of restoration. The readmz of the resolutions was frequently interrupted by tho hearty and prolonged applause of the Convention, and they were unanimously adopted. After some other minor business the convention adjourned tine die, to pro, ceed in a body to the Rolton House, to pay their respect to our distinguished condidute for Governor, Hon. Iliestcr Clymer.

Notwithstanding the studied efforts of the Radicals to keep in the back, ground their pet measure of "negro suffrage," knowing it to be immensely unpopular with the masses, their candi dates are all solemnly pledged to it, The following will illustrate this point ; Immediately after his nomination, Gen- eral Geary called upon a Democratic neighbor, engaged in mercantile pur suits, soliciting his support in the com. ing canvass. To this the Democrat re. plied, that previous to the assembling of the Radical Convention, he had thought as a neighbor of voting for Geary, should he receive the nomina tion, but that the resolutions passed by the Convention and indorsed by Geary, had wrought a thorough change in his views. He was always ready to act neighborly, but it was asking more than Democratic human nature could bear, to request his support of so shameless measure as that of negro suffrage and negro equality. To all of which the " life.long Democrat," in his blandest terms, replied that, although ho had fully committed himself to the rcsolu tions of the Radical Convention, his neighbors need have no scruples about voting for him, as the subject of negro suffrage was yet in embryo, and could not, under any possible circumstances be brought fully before the people dur ing his term of office, should he be elected. The Democratic merchant failed to see the point so ingeniously presented, and wisely determined to ad here to the ancient landmarks of the party with which he had always votcd.- A'je- . . tguWe do not say that it would not have bcon proper to expel both Soldier Rousseau and Preacher GitiN.Vfclii. after their abusive talk and personal violence ; but was it right to kick out tho bravo Soldier and allow the con tin ued presence of the blackguard Parson ? It is easy to sec in what different estiuia, tion extra loyal Congressmen hold the man who has perilled his life bravely in defence of the Union, and the paltry fanatic who has done his little best to destroy it. The soldiers of the Uoion may draw from this token of Congres sional action and advantageous infci ence.

Tho Increase of Pay. The Congress which has just adjourn ed managed with that high parliamen tary art which is so mysterious to the uninitiated and so simple to those who understand it, (and which is us difficult to explain pn paper as a piece of ma chinery without a diagram), to attach the proposition to advance the salaries of Congressmen to five thousand dollars per aunuin to the bill equalizing sol diers' bounties, as it is called. In the first place, it was a neat thing for Congressmen to get into good com pany, and the veterans to whom hour., tics were to bo voted, with the purpose of equalizing them, were those who en listed for three years in the flush times of the war without bounty. Now, our sagacious Congressmen could not any way in the world avoid increasing their own salaries without voting against the soldier's bounties. Therefore, they patriotically put the twin measure through, tho pecuniary effect of which to pay each member of Congress $4000 more than lie agreed to servo for, aud to each three ydais' veteran who en. listed without bounty, 100. The in ference is fair that as each Congressman takes forty times the amount for two years that he gives the veteran soldier for three, that he estimates the compar ative value of their services in that pro portion. The New York Tribune pronounces the course of Congress upon this matter " a very unwise, selfish, cowardly and unprincipled act. It was unwise, be cause thero are not five men in the two Houses who would have dared, when candidates for their present positions, to declare that if elected, they would seek and vote to raise their own pay from $0000 to 810,000 each per Congress. It was selfish ; for the members must have known, that in so acting and vot ing, they were emburassing aud damag. nig the public- cause, which they pro fess to have at heart, in their greedy lust of private gain. It was uiipiiuci pled ; for functionaries entrusted with power over their own recompense should therein set an example of moderation, in order that they may bo in position to resist sternly and efficiently the rapacity of other would.be leeches on the body politic. It was cowardly ; for they did not venture to enact this increase of pay in a distinct bill, and let the yeas and nays be taken and recorded thereon but sneaked it into the tail end of an appropriation bill, and juggled it thro' by the machinery of a Conference Com niitlee, after the House had vuted i down by I so to three. It was a very mean performance, and we hope to see it repealed at the next session. It will be, if the people only take the matte in hand and ask every candidate for the next Congress, " Sir, will you vote to put the pay of members back to $3,000 per annum, and have all mileage charg. cd by the most direct mail routo 1 " " E7cn if an increase of pay had been just as it is not the bill should havo provided that every member ubscnt from his scat should forfeit at least $25 per day aud $ 10 for every time the yeas and nays are taken and his name not recorded. Absenteeism is a crying and growing evil. Half tho members are absent half the time. When such ab sence is totally without excuse, they pretend to deduct 8,50 per day for it (which Is about one. fourth what they have just voted a day's service to be worth) ; but this forfeit is rarely exact ed. The absentee pretends to have sickness in his family, or makes (to him. self) some other excuse for taking from the Treasury money which he has never earned, and to which he is not entitled by law. " If members choose to vote them selves a full $1,000 per month (over $10 per workiug day) for their services, they ought to abolish tho fr&uking privilege, dismiss three-fourths of their well paid satellites, and reduce tho mileage to ten cents per mile by the shortest mail route. Rut they make no show of deal ing honestly with the public' Some of them will rue this before they get re elected." A silver chain around a dog's oeck ill not ko p him from barking or bitiotr. T. F. MOORE, IMbliHhcr. TEH.ltS-1 50 Per IVor in advance. Organization. The State Central Committco, under the lead of its competent chairman, has mapped out a plan of organization, and that plan is before tho people and ready for execution. It now remains for the different counties, townships, wards, and election division? to co operate with the Central Committee in the important and indispensable work of thoroughly or. ganiclng the Democratic party in the State and preparing the people for the contest. " A full Democratic vote in October," the Philadelphia Aye soundly urge " is a defeat of the Radicals. That is cer tain. The vote east in favor of If on. Georgo W. Woodward for Governor will elect Heistcr Clymer, with a margin of ten thousand votes. Tho Radicals can not now dragoon men as they did then Their army of shoddyites andj contrac tors and spies and informers has melted away, and in their places remain tax gatherers, who are draining the iast penny out of tho pocket of the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic, tho manu facturer and the workitigman to nictit the interest on a debt contracted by an extravagant Congress to support Freed- men's Rureaus and other kindred mcas. ures. The people feel the truth now, and are prepared to act with any party for the defeat of tho Radicals. The National Union Convention will con. centrate and consolidate the anti-radienl clement of the State and make it ii re sistible" Rut the Democratic party Heeds or. ganization. The material is abundant. It must be collected and put in shape for effective uso at tho proper time. Not a vote should be lost. Organization is the " needle gun " by which the vie. tory is to be gained. Here in raw county we are sadly defective in this respect. With one or two exceptions, no Democratic clubs havo anywhere been organized in the county. We ajniu urge upon our friend that they Onlay no longer. Inc time has come for a determined effort, and wc will be shamefully negligent of our duty if we fail to avail ourselves of every honora ble means to secure success. Erin Ol, We have heard a great deal, but not much to the purpose, about black " Uuionism " and black " loyalty " at tho South. Wo havo heard little or nothing about black fidelity to the South crn cause, and to the Southern leaders and people. The truth is, and every soldier will confirm it, that for every black soldier eiilistcdto do garrison du ty on the side of the Union, there were at least forty blacks at the South who clung to the fortunes of their masters. and repudiated all connection with the Northern araiy. This might have been foreseen as an inevitable result by any person who knew the negro character, It is sublime effrontery for Radical jour nals to deny it now that through a tour years' War tho obvious character of the nesro race thus made an exhibition of itself.

A National Picture. The Rich mond Times makes tho following sug gestion : " There is, Wc believe, still a vacant panel in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington, which patiently awaits its inevitable fate in the form of some hid. cous daub of a national painting. It is the panel next to that famous " shin piece," where the talent of the artist was exhausted in painting the well developed legs of the signers of tho Declaration of Independence. As the Jacobins are doubtless proud of the lato triumph ot American valor over a fee. blc, old and helpless prisoner, let Con. gress appropriate $50,000 for a gigantid paiutiug of the 4 Placing Shackles upon Jefferson Davis." It is a magnificcut subject for an accomplished artist. The cold, damp, cheerless cell, the small iron bedstead, the fragment of mouldy bread, the overturned tin cup of dirty water, tho bold assault ot a dozen stalwart, armed soldiers upou a feeble old prison er, the heavy manacles and the uplifted sledge hammer of the herculean black smith, are splendid materials for a great national picture.
