TRUTH FROM THE RECORD OF 1864. 81IADDY AG AINST THE PRIVATE SOL IIIER. GLYMER FOR THE SOLDIER! The disunion ]>res is full of lies in re liard to tlie action of Democratic Sena tor* in 1864, before the Senate was or ganized. After its organization, viz: on the 30th of March, 1864, Senator Hopkins offered the following resolu tion: - See Record, page 536.) Reset!red, That the Committee on Fed eral Relations be instructed to bring in a joint resolution instructing our Sen ators and requesting our Representa tives in Congress to vote for a law re quiring the payment of non-commis sioned officers and privates in the ser vice of the United States in coin or its equivalent. \ T pon this resolution Senator CLYMER now the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, spoke as follows: (See Record, page 538.) i did not know, sir, that the Senator from Washington (Mr. Hopkins) was about tooffer a resolution of this kind; had 1 been aware of the fact, I might have been able to form a more correct judgment as to his intentions in so do ing. JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIER. I presume he designed to perform an act of simple justice to those who, on the tented field, are struggling for the maintenance of this Government. He himself avows his intention to place this meritorious class of our fellow-cit izens, so far as relates to their pay, up on a footing with those sleek, well paid, well fed, truly loyal, and most dis creet gentlemen who, in this time of trial, are idling sunny hours in the courts of Europe as our foreign minis ter-. while the soldier is enduring the pains, the trials and the dangers of a campaign. Contemplate the picture; the one class clothed in purple and paid in gold, the other clad in homespun and paid in greenbacks! The one .-ifrrou ti ded by all the luxury which gold can huv, ttie other in their individual per- sons and in their families, enduring all; the want and misery which paper mon- j ey ever entails! An unprejudiced ob- j server, sir, would not, it seems to me, | be likely to attribute any sinister or im proper motive to one who attempts to equalize in somedegree the condition of the-e two classes. Surely, sir, the dis parity between one hundred sixty dol lars a year—the wages of a soldier— pain greenbacks—and the salaries of our foreign ministers, -ranging from seven to twenty thousand a year, paid in gold, is of such magnitude that it should not be "disloyal" to attempt to j equalize it. DEEDS, NOT WORDS. To me, sir, it is strange, passing | strange, .that those who profess so much j love for the soldier, who are eternally J parading themselves as the "soldiers' j friends," who would make the soldier believe that every one outside the pale j of their political communion is his en- j emy, whose whole stock in trade is to j veil that they are "loyal," and to boast that they love the soldier better than wife or child, should here to-day resist a proposition so fair and just, By your deeds you shall be tried. Honeyed wordsof flattery cost nothing. To sus tain this resolution and the enactment of its purpose into a law, might impose some slight additional taxation upon your "loyal" gentleman, and that would cost something. You cannot afford j that. Oh! no! Fulsome praise, lauda- j tion without stint—that you can give; j it is in your line; but when the soldier j asks for the means wherewith to suit ply his wife and little ones with the | hare necessaries of life—which, owing j to the vicious system of finance inaug-1 urated by Republican rulers, have been j raised to fabulous prices—you turn your j backs upon him and brand as "dislo.v-! al" every man who dares to advocate ; his claims. That is a species of disloy alty of which 1, for one, am neither a shamed nor afraid. If it be "disloyal" to stand by, guard, protect and defend the poor and humble against the rich and powerful; to be in favor of the soldier rather than of the shoddy con tractor, then 1 am disloyal. It is a kind of disloyalty of which you, gen tlemen* on the Republican side, will never be accused by those who .know you. Where the spoils are, there will your hearts be also. USURPATION OF THE SENATE. Possibly,sir, the Senator from Wash ington offered the resolutions with an additional motive—that was, to relieve himself, and those who act with him politically, from the base and unfound ed charge that we were opposed to an increase of the pay of the soldier. When j this Senate was unorganized, as we then believed, and as you subsequently admitted by proceeding to elect a Spea ker, a resolution was offered on the op posite side of this chamber, instructing our Senators apd requesting our Repre sentatives in Congress, to vote for a bill increasing the pay of the soldiers. We then voted against it, as undersim ilar circumstances we would to-day. We told you then that by no vote of ours would weem-recognize your high handed .act of usurpation. We told you we would vote against any and ev ery resolution, even should you offer BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 20. 1866. jone asserting the divinity of God him self. We stood up for a principle, and we triumphed. You offered the reso lution, as you offered others, for the purpose of making dap-trap capital a gainst usamongst the soldiers and oth er*. You paraded our vote through out the State as a high crime and a sin, when you knew in your hearts that ev ery representation you made, as to our position, was simply false. But the resolution or the Senator from Wash ington hits unearthed you. It has stir red up a fearful commotion amongst the ranks of the faithful. You gnash your teeth in impotent rage, and are swollen up with undischarged bile. You rave and fume and sweat—all to no purpose; gentlemen. We intended to expose your duplicity, and we have doneit. Hence those tear*. I advise you to cover your intention* in some more skillful way, or 1 shal'„ again draw u side the flimsy veil which shields you from open contempt. PAY THE PRIVATE SOLDIER. But, sir, what will he 'the efi'det of the resolution should Congress enact a law innccordanee with its spirit? Will it not be precisely what you gentle men forced us to vote against, when you attempted usurpation? The sol dier will be paid in coin or its equiva lent ; that is to say, his wages will he increased by the difference between gold and greenbacks. If gold at the end of any month is sixty percent, a bove greenbacks, the common soldier will receive twenty dollars and eighty cents, instead of thirteen dollars, for his month's services, ff you were honest in your proposition to increase his pay, how can you object ? When lie entered the service, his pay was thirteen dollars per month in gold, for then gold was not above par. The res olution simply proposes to keep our plighted faith with the most meritori ous of all public* servant*; with him who defends our homes and firesides. Tell me, gentlemen, were you honest or dishonest in your proposition ? You shall not evade an answer by cal ling me disloyal. The word has noter rors for me. Three years ago you paid the foreign minister and the private soldier in gold. Why, to-day, do you continue to pay him who isbaskingand revelling in the smile* of royalty, and refuse it to him v ho, amid the roar of cannon and a storm of bullets, is bat tling in your defence? Answer me if you dare. We will not be deterred from making the inquiry by threats or de nunciations. We, on this side of the r-in.uilier, oieiAU-4*M' W 'i < <-* !<n"eh interest iu and devotion to the Govern ment founded upon the Constitution as you claim to possess. We do not im pugn your motives; you *hall not ours. We are not to be cajoled or intimidated here or elsewhere. We are your peers and equals here and every place. We know our rights and will maintain them. We will stand by the Constitu tion and Union of these States, and we tell you, aye, we charge it upon you, that you are the only men who would destroy both. 1 Charges are constantly made against us of a want of fidelity to the Govern ment, of sympathy with treason, and of aiding the rebellion. We defy you to make them good. This matter had better be understood and settled here and now. It is true, we are not the slaves of any administration. You shall not set the blacks and enslave white men. We know no Government which is not based upon the Constitu tion, and we will neither obey nor be "fo/jar to any other. Is my language sufficiently precise? I* it clear? Ido not wish to he misunderstood. 1 tun not "lf/i/aP } to any administration; I am ever so to true government, found ed upon and acting in accordance with the Constitution, of which it is the mere creatureand exponent. More than this, you nor any living man can demand of i any one. To do so i* to makeyoursel ves j masters, and those of whom you make the demand slaves. We wish you to ful ly understand that you shall never ex-' ercise any such power over u*. The history of thepast should teach you that the*race to which we belong may pos sibly he exterminated, bat never ensla ved. Senator Clymer and every other Dem ocrat voted for this resolution, and the j Disunion voted to kill it by amending it, and having a majority, effected its amendment, and thus de feated the original proposition. MARCHING ON. —The New York Tribune says "John Brown's soul is marching on !" We think so. A number of people j think *O. John Brown iu the body cor- j porate marched on through Kansas and elsewhere, stealing horses and oth- j er .property. He marched to Virginia to steal niggers and break laws till at last he marched into eternity by a dif ferent line. And now we judge his soul is marching on! It marched through the army stealing all it could roach. It inarched through the custom houses, post offices, collector's bureaus, legislatures and congress, stealing by the gross. It inarched away from the White. House lately with ninety large boxes in charge, and leftthePresident's Mansion gutted. It has marched with its mortal counterpart Ben. Butler from New Orleans to Lowell, and through all the Departments at •Washington.— Yes—the soul of John Brown is march ing on, and we think it time the devil wrapped a chain about this essence of Republicanism and anchored the soul of the horsestealing monster. — La Crosse Democrat. THE DEMOCRATIC REVIVAL. A CLEAN SWEEP. (Democratie 5 U-torios in tlie Western Stte. [SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORLD.] HARTFORD, April f). The Democrats revolutionized the city government at the city election to day, electing everything on the ticket by two hundred majority. Charles R. Chapman, for mayor, had two hundred and thirty-three over Mayor Stillman. The rest of the entire ticket was nearly up to him. We carry a majority of the city council men. The Democrats are in hilarious spirits; they feel proud of conquering a scheme of corruption and fraud without precedent, save at there cent State election. [ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.] HARTFORD, Conn., April !. —There- suit of the Hartford city election to-day was a full vote, and the election of the entire city ticket by the Democrats, to tally changing the political character of the city government. The Democrats elect Charles R. Chapman, Mayor, over Allyn S. Stillman, the present Mayor, by two hundred and thirty-three ma jority ; and Henry H. Fitch, Collector by two hundred over H. T. Sperry, the present Collector. They also elect the City Clerk by two hundred majority, the Auditor and the City Marshall, aud have a majority in the City Council. Great Conservative Gains in the Western States. MICHIGAN. The returns from the township elec tions held on Monday last, as a whole, more than satisfy expectations. Deerfield elects the Democratic ticket. Prominent Republicans, who have here tofore voted the Radical ticket entire, coine forward to sustain the policy of Democracy. In Vernon the ticket was carried up on the issue of the President's policy by 56 majority. Tyrone elected the Democratic ticket entire. Rose elected the Democratic ticket by a majority of 45. Mundav, for the first time in several years, elected Democratic officers. The place was considered leased ground by the Radicals, but upon the issue Con servatism vs. Radicalism, the people proved their loyalty. Tecumseh the whole Demo cratic ticket by 85 majority. This is a net gain of 74 over any year since the reign of Radicalism commenced. In Manchester the whole tR-aet was elected by majorities ranging from 30 to 48. Coldwater has gone Democratic upon the fairlV made issue of the restoration policy by a majority of 206. When we reflect that this city gave Lincoln 245 over MeClellan, and has always been abusively radical, the result is very gratifying. At Argentine the Democratic ticket was elected entire. Birmingham gave a majority of 10 for the Conservative ticket, a gain over last year in officers elected and in aggre gate township vote. Galeshurg was carried by the Repub licans by a majority so small a* to leave them little to triumph over. The Dem ocratic gain has been very large since last year. * The town of Charlestown for the first time in ten years succeeded in electing a Democrat, and now, they have elect ed the Democratic ticket entire. It is a complete revolution, of politics, and argues well for tin* spread of conserva tive principles. In Grass Lake, where the Republi cans have had it all their own way for years, they had a desperate struggle to elect a supervisor by a majority of one. Blackman went the Democratic tick et entire by !)<> majority, a large gain over the last election. Gaines shows a Democratic gain of nine over last year, the majority on the ticket being 62. Put Gaines down for double that amount at the fall election. Mason exhibits a revolution in poli tic*. For eight years out of the last ten Mason has gone Abolition straight out. The Democrats went in on the indorsement of the Presidential policy, and the result is a complete triumph, the whole ticket being elected by a ma jority of 43. "* Waterloo elected the entire Demo cratic ticket by majorities ranging from 50 to 64. Augusta has always been, till last year, Abolition. Now the Democratic gain is 20 over last year, though the last Abolitionist turned out. The vote was the largest ever polled in the tp. At Hillsdale the Administration can didate received a majority of 35, and the average majority of the Radicals was reduced over two-thirds. A dispatch from Howell say* that the enemy has been met and he is ours iis usual, only a little more so. Though the Radicals run their best man, he was ! beaten by 78 majority. Seneca elected the conservative tick et entire, by 72 majority. Last year the Radicals elected their ticket entire by in majority. Bridgewater elected their entire Dem ocratic ticket by a'majority of 100. Canton gives 35 majority for the Dem ocratic ticket. Dearborn has done nobly. The Dem ocratic ticket has made a clean sweep by 73 majority, an increase of 35 votes over last year. Mongangon Democrats headed their tickets "Administration," and carried the election by 114 majority, VOL 61.—WHOLE No. 5.344. At Springfield there was a complete Democratic victory. The average ma j joritv for the Democratic cause was 140. I Van Buren went Democratic by 120 ! majority, being a gain of 20 votes since j last year. Greenfield gave increased majorities, j electing the entire ticket. The Radicals : were beaten 79 votes. Warren elected the Democratic ticket entire, by the rousing majority of 115, Being a large gain over previous elee ' tions. Bedford went Democratic by an av i erage majority of 79, a large gain over | last year. IOWA. A correspondent at Lyons,♦ lowa, ; writes as follows: • ; "Yesterday the charter election came off in this city, and resulted much to Ihe astonishment and chagrin of the Radicals, in the complete success of the Johnson or the conservative ticket." Radicalism has had its own way in our city since the war began, and has elected its officers by from 50 to 100 majority—have even mobbed men for differing in opinion with it; but its day is run, as 1 sincerely hope and believe. Last year the majority for Mayor was ! about 60, and the whole Radical ticket succeeded, with perhaps the exception i of an Alderman or two in the different ward-; but yesterday they were forced to surrender without ihe liberty ofdic ; tating terms. IM.INOIS. In Mattoon there was a Democratic gain of 160 to 185, resulting in the elec tion of two Democratic councilmen.— This is certainly a very substantial showing for a town that for five years has been one of the Radical abolition strongholds ot the .State. A correspondent at Lodi, Kane C'our.- ty, Illinois, says that the Democratic voter-of thattownshipachieved a great victory electing their ticket for the first | time in seven years. Bourbon shows a Democratic gain of 28 .-ince last spring. The candidates i went to the people upon the issue of i the administration policy. Cotton Hill elected the entire conser vative ticket by 20 majority, showing a Democratic gain of 35 si nee last spri lig. Ball township elected ihe Democrat ic ticket by majorities ranging from 70 i to 75. Woodside made a clean sweep and e- Jected the Democratic ticket entire, with an average majority of 35, a good gain over last year. Port Byron repudiated the Radicals by a rousing vote, considering the zeal which the abolition faction displayed, electing the majority of the Democrat ic ticket. The Democrats of Rock Island have redeemed themselves, as the following result shows: they elected seven out of the eight candidates, with an average majority of I<>. Black Hawk has made a Democratic gain sure, electing one official, some thing not done often in that vicinity. It is said that the Radicals used every species of fraud to win, but the whole vote, with one exception, is close and, as vet, doubtful. Hampton sustained the administra tion policy nobly. Our tickets were 1 leaded, "In favor of President John son's. reconstruci ion policy," and the result shows that the Radical vote has been terribly weakened, they barely saving half the ticket, when last fall they had a clear majority of 35. WISCONSIN. The city election at Madison resulted iir an equal 'share of officials; but the gain of the conservatives is very grati fying evincing that the spirit of fanat- i icisrn and negro equality, so long dom inant, is beginning to tire. The Rad icals, to test the negro equality, ran a negro for Mayor; and we are ashamed to record the fact that he received no less than three hundred and six votes. As he failed to receive the election, we are satisfied that conservative princi ples are gaining rapidly. From Mineral Point we have the fol lowing : "Our city election came off to-day, and the result has proved most glorious for the Democracy and conservatism. At the State election last fab the Abo lition majority ranged from 15 to 20, while to-day the Democratic majority for Mayor was 121. and the whole Dem ocratic ticket, except the candidate for Treasurer, is elected by fair majorities." INDIANA. Every township in Bartholomew Co., went Democratic on Monday. Rushville went Democratic by over 100 majority, showing a gain of over 150 since last year. The Democracy of Kendalville car ried their ticket through by a large ma jority. They have gained 300 votes since last year. A correspondent writes from Argus, in this State, that the conservatives of that townsTiip elected their entire tick et by majorities ranging from 1 to 6 —a Democratic gain of 21 since last fall, and a gain of 75 since 1800. The Democracy of Evansville carried the election by 200 majority—an un precedented success in that usually ab olition stronghold. OHIO. Sandusky gave a Democratic majori ty of 250, being a gain of 48 votes over last election. The Democrats carried the entire ticket in Fremont, redeeming it from Radicalism completely. At Amherst the entire Democratic ticket was elected by an average of 15. I This is the first time that the conserva- tive party have succeeded in carry ir> an election in Amherst in nine years. Radicalism has recoiled upon its vota ries, and their power is over. The election in Perrvsburg went, as usual, Democratic, with large gains since last election. A very full vote was polled, and the Radicals have strain ed every nerve, but to no purpose. In Toledo the Democrats have elected some of the more prominent city offi cers. In Canton the Democracy have made a splendid gain, and everything prom ises a large increase this fall. [From the Clermont SUD, Afrit 4th.] , The Democratic and Conservative men of Batavia township, on Monday last, covered themselves with glory. The Abs. carried the township in Octo ber last by eighty majority. Now the contest was so close that a fart of each ticket was elected. We succeeded in electing one Trustee, Geo. W. Duck wall, and the Assessor, Isaac Potter. Hurrah for Batavia township! Negro equality and unequal taxation are fast winking out. When the Radicals met to put in nomination their township ticket, they defeated, in convention, Mr. Gest, because he was a supporter of the President's policy, and nominated H. N. Talley, Esq., a Radical, over him. Gest proclaimed himself an in dependent candidate for Justice of the Peace and defeated Mr. Talley, the reg ular nominee of the Abs, by one hun dred and fifty-four majority. If the Democrats and Johnson men of Bata via township will pick their flint and keep their powder dry, abolitionism will soon be numbered with the things that were. Again we say three cheers for Batavia township! The Democrats of Stonelick town ship. which was carried by the Radi cals last fall, have elected their whole township tickets by majorities ranging from seventeen to twenty-six. The vote was a very heavy one. The icool ies died hard, but they had to come down. Hurrah for Stonelick! Her Democracy is entitled to much credit for their devotion to the Constitution of our country. Front Washington—Complimentary Res olutions I'reseiileil to the President— -18 is Reply. WASHINGTON, March 28.—A Com mittee of gentlemen from the State of New Jersey, called upon the President to-day for the purpose of presenting a series of resolutions passed at a recent mass meeting held in the county of Hudson. The President replied—l do not know, gentlemen, that I can make any reply to the complimentary man ner in which you have addressed me, and to thesentimentsand principles set forth in your resolutions than to refer you to my public acts. You must take them as my reply, or any speech that I might make. I must, however, thank you most fervently for the encourage ment you have given me, for we are occupying a position that needs encour agement from those who are desirous of maintaining the first and original principles of the Government. My line of policy is, I think, unmistakable, and I have advanced too far in life to make any retrogade movement. I can make no step backward, and I hope you will find that the generous confidence you have given me has not been misplaced. I can say no more, but thank you, gen tlemen. ABOLITION THEORY IN PRACTICE. — A Mr. William Griffith, of Somerset Co.. who is an advocate of Negro E quality, has had his theory put into practice. He has been employing ne groes to work for him, getting their labor for Jittleexpense; and is reported to have said some time since, that he "would rather have his daughter mar ried to one of his negro hands than to be a copperhead." It appears that his daughter, a fine looking girl about sev enteen years of age, has taken heed to his equality teaching, and to-day (Tues day) eloped with a young Buck Nig ger. She slipped out from her father's house, met the Nigger on the road,and walked to this place, intending to take the cars>and proceed to Ilarrisburg, and t here get married. Mr. Griffith, find ing by the absence of his daughter and the Nigger, that his theory was to be put into practice, by a member of his own family, telegraphed to the police at this place, who arrested them on their arrival here. Both are now ,n the hands of the police,and the "equal ity" is looking through the "ten of diamonds" of the lock-up. Mr. Griffith should not now object to this action of his daughter and the darkey for he has taught them that they are equal.— Jo/uustoivii Democrat. —The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Free Masons has authorized W.
