Geary's Humanity.
In a late number of the Lancaster In-
tell iicii err appeared the following arti
cle, whhh should bo lead by evety
friend ot humanity in the country.
When any Catholic is asked to vote for
tho Kuow-Nothing Geary,, let him re
member tins statement ol authentic
tacts! DRCTAL TREATMENT OP SISTERS Or CHARITY
by John w. oeary.
John ".V. Geary with his narrow intel
lect and biirotcd nature, wo have no
doubt, made a most acceptable member
of that infamous political organization
which proscribed men on account of
their birth or relipioiu belief. His ha.
trcd of Catholics did not end with the
short-lived triumph of the Kuow-Nothing
party. It adhered to him, and was
afterwards displayed in the most offen.
sive manner possible.
One of the most intelligent, wealthy,
aud respectable citizens of Frederick,
Maryland, sends us the following state,
ruetit of an occurrence, which shows in
its true light the bigoted and tvranical
character of tho vain upstart who is tho
Radical candidate for Governor of Pcuu
sylvania. We give the facts in his own
language:
To the EiUtors of the Jittclli'ienrer:
Dear Sirs. It occurs to mc that
justice demands that the rude and bru
tal inauncr in which some Sisters of
Charity were treated by John W. Gear',
should be known, in order that the
Catholic citizens of Pennsylvania may
understand tho character and tho spirit
of the man who appeals to them for
support at tho coming Gubernational
election. The facts will be sufficient
without any comment, though you are,
of course, at liberty to use them as you
see lit.
In the fall of ISO I, under protection
of a pats from Gen. Scott, some four or
fivo Sisters of Charity left tho St. Jo.
eph llouso at Luimittsburir, on their
mission to nurse the sick and wounded
soldiers of both armies. They had per- i
mission to visit any point along the line
of contest from Winchester to Rich
mond, as their services might bo need
ed. While traveling on the cars of
tho Raltimoie and Ohio Railroad, un
der permission from the Couimander.iu.
Chief at Washington to po where
they pleased iu discharge of the duties
of their sacred mission, they were ar
rested at Point of Hocks by Col. -J.
W. Geary. Iu a rude manner they,
with their baggage, were removed from
iho cars and left among crowds of sold
iers and rough camp followers, sitting
without si. elter on their trunks by the
roadside. It was not until after re.
pcatcd solicitations that Col. Geary
consented to grant an interview to tho
principal sister, a lady of education, and
refinement, as were her associates. Fi
nally this military dignitary yavo or
ders to have her led into his august
presenco by a guard.
In vain did she explain fully the
charitable character of her holy mission.
in vain did tho exhibit the general un
restricted pass given her by tho Loin
inunder-iu-Cbiet at Washington, au.
llior'uing bur to go, with her associates,
wherevr,- their holy mission uiij'ht call
them, or wherever they minht bo need
cd to nnrse the wounded and console the
dyint; ; in vain did sho beg to be al
lowed to proceed as several parties of
Sisters had i.rcn allowed to do unilm.
lested bed'ore, over tho same route; in
vain did the speak of tho crying wants
of the wounded, the sick, the dying
soldiers of the ion army, to relieve
and succor whom was a great part of
her mission ; in vain did she assure thh.
ietty tyrant (Geary) that she had nursed
the sick and wounded suUiers of all
parties in the Crimean war, withou. luo.
lestaliou or hindrance, receiving lVotn
Tiii'lt and Kus,si;in no loss courtesy and
kindness than she did from ranchmen
and Englishmen; in vain did she pro.
test with tiar'.'ul entreaties against' such
usage in her native land, alter having
traveled on a similar mission all over
Europe unmolested. John W. Geary,
a bigot by nature au 1 a petty tyrant in
bis position, thrust her and her com
panions into the cars and sent them
back to Frederick City, on their way to
the House ot St. Joseph from whence
they came.
The Surgeon General at Frederick, a
high-toned gentleman, and a native of
Philadelphia, hearing of thp manner in
which the Sisters of Charity had been
treated by Geary, and fearing the dama
ging effect which such brutal conduct
would have upon the many thousand of
Catholic soldiers who were fighting iu
the front ranks of the urrny, at oucc dis
patched an orderly to Gen. Links, at
bcr.diiiarteri near I'oolsville, with a let.
ter containing a statement of the con
duct of Gen. Gearyt which letter will
be found t.-fficisilly recorded on the books
of the McJiea" J'ireetor. The Adju
tant, alter riding all nitrht, returned lo
i l'redciiik with an imperative order,
J con. m inding Ce:i, Gcny to ecort in
person aud place safely on the southern
side of the Potomac the said Sisters of
Charity, and to give to them every ns
sistauco to aid them iu the discharge of
their sacred mission of mercy. With
what grace he could after his brutal con.
duet, Geary did escort tlictu beyond the
Potomac, after having endeavored to set
hiinscl: up as superior to the Confman.
derin-Chicf.
Any soldier who was under Geary at
Point of Rocks at the time alluded to
will remember his treatment ot these
Sisters of Charity. Ho will not dare to
deny one word of the above statement.
If ho should, the Medical Director and
the Sisters will testify to the entire
truthfuluess of what is here written.
The above facts have been furnished
in the shape iu which they appear, us
we havo stated, by ouu of t he wealthiest,
most intelligent and houorable men in
the City of Frederick. They show
what a mcau and miserable bigot John
W. Geary is. We hope our contempo
raries will give the statement a wide
circulation

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention
in response to a call from thoo favora.
blc to the policy of President Johnson
and the action of tho Philadelphia Con
vention of Aug. II, met iu this city to
day. A pavillion one hundred and fifty
feet iu length by sixty iu breadth, had
been erected in tho park for the use of
the convention. At three o'clock tho
delegates cutcred, preceded by a band of
music, and were seated, after which the
crowd from the outside was admitted aud
filled the tent to its utmost rapacity.
Previous to the organization quite a
spirited scene was witnessed, the dele
gations rising and cheering successively
tho old flags, Generals Custer, Rousseau,
Wood, .MsOlcrnand, the Constitution, I
the thirty-six States, Andrew Johnson,
aod after a brief breathing spell, for
Gen. Grant, Secretary Seward, the
American Army and Gen. Stecdman and
Gov. Rraudette of Kentucky. As the
cheering was called fjr aud givcu iu
each case, there was a scene of wild en
thusiasm, delegates aud spectators rising
and swinging their hats and shouting
vigorously.
Ry previous arrangement, Gov. Rran
lette nominated Major Gen. John E.
Wool as the oldest Major Gen. in the
Uuited States, and probably in the world,
as temporary President.
Gen. Wool was received with loud
cheers and addrossed the Convention
as follows :
G ENiXEME.v - A grateful heart thanks
you for your cheering welcome. A morn
flattering and agreeable position could
not have beeu assigned to me than the
one just conferred as presiding offioer,
although but temporarily, over this as
semblage of patriots and heroes the
true defenders of the country and the
Union. Bo assured, it will ever be re
membered and appreciated as the most
precious incident of a long military ca
reer. Tho object ot this great Military
Convention, it I understand it correctly,
is to consider the principles enunciated
by the National Uuion Convention at
Philadelphia, and the restoration policy
ot 1'resiueut Johnsou. On thcric nub
jecls I would simply remark that the
sooner Congress recognizes tho States
deil r.dby a majority of its membcis
to be out of the Uuion as constituted
parts of the Uuion, and admit their
loyal representatives to seats iu the halls
of Congress, and permit them to par.
ticipnte in the national legislation of the
country, the sooner will be allayed the
fears aud t.pprehensious of the people of
the dangers which again menace the
peace ot the country and the perpetuity
of the Union. Few men North or
South were subjected to greater sierifi
ees on account of patriotism than An
drew Johnson, and although plundered
ot his property aud driven from his home
he returned again, and by his indomita.
ble energy and perseverauee with other
patriots of his State, reclaimed Tennes
see from treason and rcbelliun. This
bold and daring friend of the Uniou
cau bo no traitor. Auother civil war
is foreshadowed, unless the freedmcn
are placed on an cqua'i y with their
previous masters. If this cauuot ba ue.
complished, radical partisans, with a
raging thirst for blood and plunder, are
again ready to invaJj the Southern
States and Ly waste the country not al
ready desolated, with tho sword iu one
hand uud tho torch in the other. These
revengeful partisans would leave their
country a howling wilderness for the
waut or more victims to gratify their
iiKitiublo cruelly. If they should suo.
ceed in inflicting ou the country another
war, it would bo more terrible than the
oue lVo.n'whlch wo huve just emerged.
It would not bo confined to the Souih.
ern Stales, but would extend itself
thr miIi the leu'.' th and breadth of the
I'uited States, and only end with the
overthrow of the best government ever
devised. It such should be the fate
of our republican empire, the cause
must not be sought for in our military
camps, but in the forum, thronged with
inflammatory OTartors nmf aspiring dema
gogues, with souls dead to their coun.
t.'y's honor and spotted with corruption.
I need not tell this great assemblage of
officer, soldiers, .and sailors most of
whom have been engaged iu many peril
Otis ba'tle, defending their country aud
their country's honor that war is a
great evil and the greatest that can be.
fall any country or people. It has ever
been the curse of nations, an 1 the cause
of ul! the oppression imposed on the
people of Europe If you would guard
your once free, happy and prosperous
country from oppression and oppressive
taxes, beware how you encourage war,
and allow demagogues who for traffic or
refongo would drench their country in
blood. Iu conclusion, I would call upon
you, officers and sailors, to stand by tho
Uuion, which in a war of four years,
when blood flowed in torrents, by your
gallantry and indomitable pji'acvcriuee
and courage mis saved from ruin and
destruction. I eutreat you to spare no
efforts to prcseive this republic iutact,
the last hope of tho oppressed of the
world. With confident expectations
mat you will, as heretoloro, prove your
selves tho saviors of your country, I
again gratelully thank you for the honor
you have this day conferred on me, and
with tho assurance that I ever will be
with you in tho defence of your glorious
Uniou.
The speech was greeted with applause
throughout, and long continued cheer
ing at its close. The passages declaring
that Johnson can bo no traitor, that the
brave are always generous, nnd that, us
the President says, wo have had war
enough, were cheered with particular
enthusiasm.
The Slander .Vititfrf.
Tha following important telegram has
been received tiotn Washington, deny,
iug ia tho most positive mauncr the ly-
lug story that Uen. (J rant had denoun
ced the Pemocratio candidate for Gov
ernor. The snake head is nailed down
iu this emphatic style:
Wasiiixotoi', Sepj. '22.
Gen. Grant deuies tho reports put in
circulation couecrnin'' his pretercuccs
as regards a vote iu your State. The
Gen. says ' his record is that of a sol
dier, and he has coudeinned tho practice
of officers m iking political capital off
the records of the army.'' It is not in
accordance with his way of doing things.
The Gen. regrets exceedingly that his
name has beeu mixed up with local
politics. The njiorl, a published, in a
tissue, of j'lktihootl. (icu. (!riat neccr
made 'fi of the Imijifi;-; attributed to
him. lie is a warm supporter of the
President's policy, uud is doing all in
his power to influence every one to tho
same way of thiuking.
That Gen. Grant ever gave uttcranee
to the political sentiments attributed to
hitn we never for a moment believed.
N'ow, let us see how many of the Rad
ical journals that published the false
hood will furnish their readers with the
truth.

night ot the last Mssien, when his pres

was opposed to the bill. Ilo kii'.'w tho

They found that iu Mr. ScotielJ's Hh
sence, they hal just e;io:igh to carry
the iufauiuu.s iiuasuie through. The
vote stood, we believe, .3 1 fir to .7

member been as wide awake fir go id at
his associates were for evil, the vota
would have been a tie, and in all proba
bility beeu killed. Rut alas, Mr. ojv.
field slept, and the rals Were playing
iu the halls of Congress. Of how uiuoU

Soolield's presence ! He was then, if
never before, u very important uiau, or

really a clever sensation to retire as
night with the cares of a n.itiou uu una'
mind, to wake in the moruiug and lij I
that the nation had raised your iriM,
simply for having slept. For iiH"d,

and his vote in the right direction, ni'ght,

What a costly sleep, was that, our coa.i
t ynieu? G. W. Scju jld, when it wa
iu his power to have saved the people au
immense sum by his active presence,
was absent. All his votes up to thu
time had been against the people's iu.
terests, opposed to the government, and
in favor of tho Freedmen's Rureau, the
Civil Rights' Rill, an 1 Negro Equality.
He had abused his coustitucnts iu a ti)j.'t
flagrant manner. It was only 011 thu
bill that he had proposed to vote for th
interest of the people ; and when th
hour arrived, when the great servieo
could have beeu rendered be slept. We
have great respect for Mr. Se.ifield. IIu
has been a member of the time-h morel
Democratic party, and from it ho learned
mauy thiugs, tor which knowledge wo
respect hint. Rut us a journalist wi
uiii-t not fail to write up his political
record whenever it comes, as in tbis in
stance, in conflict with the iutcrciU of
the people. Undoubtedly he is a very
able m ill. Rut he is far too expensive.
On the ground of econ my, the pdopbi
