QUEER coNsIsTENcY.

The New York Epcning Post of Sept. lst
thus sums up the inconsistencies Of the
Democratic Convention in New Jersey.
The application can be made in the same
words to the Democratic Platform adopted
at Harrisburg.
The New Jersey convention, to which we
referred yesterday, passed some sixteen res
olutions, in which they condemned the war,
but praised the soldiers who carried it on
condemned the administration, but approv-
ed the policy of the President, who is the
head Of the administration denounced the
increase of the national debt, and proposed
to add several hundred millions to the
amount of that debt; main tanned the nation.
al honor and faith and advised the taxing o.
the national bonds: !aaserted the rights oi
the states alone to decide the question oi
suffrage, and yet tried to make that question
an issue of general or federal politics.
Truly the blindness, and infatuation o.
the men, who can swallow as gospel such :
bundle of contradictions as Democratic
platforms are made up ofnow days, is pas
all hope of redemption, until new, more
intelligent and less credulous generation
shall be reared up to take their places

DEMocRATIc LEApERs.

Much as the Democracy may profess love
for the soldiers, loyalty and devotion to the
country, and a desire to accept the condi-
tion of things left by the rebellion, they
are continually, by their action, giving the
lie to their profession. They plead for JEFF.
Davis, they call the trial and execution Of
assassins, murder, they demand that the
states lately in rebellion shall be permitted
to return to Congress and take part in the
Government of the country in such way
and manner as they shall choose. That
rebels, traitors, murderers, and assassins
shall be permitted to go free, or to be tried
by court and jury of their companions in
crime. Nay they even cling to their old
leaders, who blushed not, to the last hours Of
the rebellion, to plead its cause or justify It's
crime. Thus the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Vallandigham is engineering the Demo
cratic party IN Ohio. The leaders of the
Ohio Democracy seem determined to kin the
party, and they could not put the mower into
the hands of any man who can SO successful
~ accomplish that purpose az Vallandie-
ham. The rebuke he got at the last Gu
bernatorial election ought to have been a
lesson to the party and to him. The people
who have just put down rebellion are NOT
prepared to accept its known advocates as
their future leaders"

The Great INDIAN council.

FoRT SMITH, Arkansas, September I0--
The Indian Council was yesterday occupied
in reading the stipulations to be imposed
by the Government upon all treaties in the
Southwest.
These stipulations propose grand con-
federation Of all the tribes into one, the ma
tional territory of which shall be the present
Indian Territory, and such other as the
Government may decide upon. The tribes
now in Kansas to be removed south.
The southwestern tribes viii be expected
to compel the Indians of the plains to OBJ
serve their treaties The Indians now here
say they understand they were called to meet
the late rebel tribes and renew friendly re-
lations with them, and not to make new
treaties, which they say they are unwilling
and unauthorized to do. The loyal tribes are
now here, and the others are expected soon.
Fort SMITH, September 1l.-Replies
were made to-day by the delegations present
to the propositions presented to them on
Saturday. All speak fayorably of the poll
CIV of the Government, and appear anxious
to renew friendly relations with it, and many
of them promise their aid in bringing the
hostile Indians of the plains to terms.
A message arrived to-day from the coun-
cil in session atArmstrong' Academy, bythe
Cherokees and Choctaws, stating that their
delegates will arrive on Friday.

FRoM NoRTH CARoLINA.

New YORK, September IA Beaufort
IN. c. letter of September 8, states that
not single house can be had in Newbern,
and warns Northerners. who intended emf
grating there to be prepared accordingly.
The lack of mechanics, sawmills, and bull
ding, materials, combined with the refusal
of property holders who have been identified
with the Rebellion to sell any of the thou
sands of acres of timber land within sight of
Newbern, prevent any progress in building
by enterprising persons; and tits proposed
that mass meetings. be held at Newbern, Beau
fortand Washington, todemand the enforce
ment of the Confscation act, if this proscrip
tive policy is not abandoned.
A Chamber of Commerce is about being
organized in Newbern.
A Raleigh letter of September s, says the
colored people viii hold State Convention
on the 29th of September, and have invited
ex-Secretary Chase, Horace Greeley, Benja-
min Butler, Henry Wilson, G. Summer, G.
Smith, Thaddeus Stevens, and others to be
present. The Convention viii consider the
propriety of asking for the elective franchise
which they enjoyed prior to 1880.

Democratic Platforms,

The so-called Democratic platforms
abound with earnest professions of regard
for Estate rights and denunciations Of mil
itary commissions. The practical meaning
of the first of these declarations, as applied
to the present position of national affairs, is
that they wish the slave States to be permit
ted to re-establish slavery under some new
name, SO that the negroes may be as much
oppressed hereafter as before the war and
of the second, that they wish swindling con-
tractors, conspirators, and the wretches who
condemned our unfortunate prisoners to the
fatal tortures of AndersonYile and Libby to
escape unwhipt of justice. They heap con-
demnation upon the men who rescued the
nation from traitorous attacks, and reserve
an abundance Of sympathy for Secessionists
who commenced the war They delight
in prating of the Constitution as an instru-
ment that incidentally confers certain sacred
privileges upon all its faithful citizens, and
for the enforcement of class that they
think might shield Jefferson Davis or Wirz
they make loud outcry, but they are full
of virtuous Indignation against the men
whose patriotic exertions saved the Consti-
tuition as whole for the benefit of great
people, and rescued the Government from a
fearful and gigantic assault

REPUTATION OF THE NATIONAL
DEBT.

The first speaker who addressed the Cop
perhead meeting on last Monday night a
week ago. declared that he was in favor of
the reputation of the national debt This
is the true position of the Copperhead par
ty. This fellow was slightly in advance Of
the rest of the speakers, but beyond ques-
ton he expressed the sentiments of the
party. The Southern States win unques-
tionably, oppose the payment of the public
debt, and for the purpose of securing an alli-
ance with the dominant Southern-party, the
copperhoads viii do anything. Yes, after
they succeed they soiU not only repudSate The
national debt BUT WILL REPEAL THE PEN
SION LAWS AND ASSUME THE PAYMENT
OF THE SOUTHERN DEBT. Pen
sioners and bond-holders can you vote the
Copperhead ticket?
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1865-09-15

The Gazette mocks at the arrest Of Mem
gel Reed for treason. The very thought OF
it seems 10 afford the editor infinite nlerrl-,
ment. Perhaps there is some other word In
his vocabulary that viii more fttingly define
thedeed. Perhaps the editor can invent
some ..euphonism, some soft and candied
phrase that viii be more pleasing to the ears
Of his Copperhead readers. For our part,
| for want of term that viii more nearly
describe this last act, this duplicate crime
against state and nation, we shall call it
treason, most foul, black and damnable
Taking all these circumstances together the
annals of this war win be searched in vain
for deed of equal turpitude. There may
be palliation for Southern man; for this
individual there is no excuse. AT the very
time when his own state was invaded; in
the hour of public gloom and dismay, when
his neighbors awaited in dread the coming
of the foe; when the rough riders of Jenk-
ms were within days march of his town,
he stole away and joined the enemy, and
was caught with arms in his hands, stained
perhaps with the blood of his fellow coun-
trymen, on the field of Gettysburg.
This is the charge, and there is a cloud
of witnesses to make it good, for within the
lines of the enemy at McConneIlsburg the
young man made no concealment of his pur-
poses. Even the rebel General was shock
ed at this manifestation of turpitude, and
advised him and his comrade to go home.
The latter never denied that he volunteered.
This deed may be called merely youth
full escapade, the sspree" of an inconsider-
ate, hot-headed youth. 1t exhibited NAL
ice altogether too deliberate and cool to ad-
| NIT of that excuse. Besides, the times are
too stern and real to allow such fooling.
While thousands, of our brayest youth gave
up their lives for their country on the field ol
battle, it viii not do to say that this young
| man Joined the enemy merely for a frolic.
To do so, would be to behttle them and the
| sacred cause for which they died. 1t would
even belittle him; but we are not concerned
about that
The truth is, this young man simply redu-
ced to practice the traitorous teachings Of
his Copperhead friends. The poison they
daily voided on the streets Of Bedford pro
duced its legitimate effects. We believe the
charges against him are true, and if convic-
ted, we hope he viii be punished in way
that viii make him warning to perfdious
traitors for all time to come. The case il
not one for pardon.

A PAIR OF DAVlSES.

The Democracy claim that Davis, their
candidate for Auditor General, was in the
Mexican war. So was the other Davis who
is now awaiting trial for treason. True the
Democratic candidate went forth and fought
against rebellion for a while, but at the
same time had paper published at home
opposing the war, and returned home him.

the war and to oppose with all his power the
cause for which he had been fighting.

ssWHY PERsECUTEsT THOU MES

ssWHY PERSECUTEST THOU ME2''
We had intended to leave the case of the
Reeds to the judicial tribunals where it be-
longs without another word ofcomment, but
the course of the Gazette renders that i'm
possible. The arrest of Mengel Reed for
treason, and his probable trial before the
q. S. District Court leaves the subject free
from embarrassment on his account, at least
The Gazette vainly seeks to excite sympathy
for the accused by raising the cry of perse-
cution. Mr.. Cessna is prosecuting him, for
sooth Did Mr.. Cessna advise the wretch
ed young man to abandon his home, and
desert his neighbors at the time their very
hearthstones were threatened with invasion?
is Mr.. Cessna TO be blamed because he,
perverted and deluded by the teachings of
Copperheads, committed the highest crime
known to the laws Of his country On the
contrary, had be needed the warnings and
listened to the patriotic counsels Of Mr..
Cessna, his situation to-day would be far
different.
But the Gazette says he went into the
rebel army unwillingly. That is just what
a jury of his countrymen will investigate and
determine, The truth is the Copperheads
of this community were wild in their sympa-
thy for the rebel cause. They mourned at
our victories, and exulted at rebel triumphs;
they prophesied and prayed for the fna
success of the enemies Of the Union. This
young man went into the Confederate army
because his friends taught him to believe
the cause was just, and he is less guilty than
they. But he and they now seek by mis-
cradle falsehood to evade the consequences
Of his act.
Mr.. Cessna needs no defense for his part
in this matter. He is abundantly able to
take care Of himself. He simply represents
the insulted majesty of the law. It is a
mockery to say that either the general gov
eminent or the commonwealth can be repre-
sented by the present District Attorney
He possesses neither the ability nor the dis
position to discharge his duty towards his
country in the premises. 1t is notorious
that he is now and has always been rebel
sympathizer, and his passions and preiudi-
ces alike influence him. Instead of joining
in this ridiculous clamor about persecution,
the friends of good order, of peace, of Law,
of Union, win thank Mr.. Cessna for his con-
duct. Instead of abusing him, they win do
justice to the manly spirit which prompts
him to the discharge of his duty to his coun-
try in this case, without fear, favor, or hope
Of reward. The Copperheads are rancorous
against him because he possesses courage,
ability and patriotism, qualities which they
