The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1866-03-22
The voice OF The People.

| He voice Oh the PeOpke.
In precipitating upon Congress and the
country the quarrel that lately threatened
the disruption of the Union party, the
President declared his intention of firmly
adhering to his designated line Of policy
unless it should meet with the disappro-
-bation of the people. a month has passed
since then, and the people in various parts
OF the country have spoken, once by their
own lips, and on several occasions through
their chosen representatives. Inmedi-
ately after the disruption between the
President and the Legislative branch of
the government, the chief organ of the
President, the ". Y Times, as also all
the minor keys used in sounding the
Chief Magistrates notes Of reconstruction,
delighted IN proclaiming that the majority
OF the people were against the majority In
Congress, and that the twc-thir6s of the
House and the nearly two-thirds in the
Senate were faction opposed to the
paclfcation of the country, without the
good thereof at heart, and intent on the
disruption of that Union :hey had done
so much to save
New Hampshire has been the first to
speak through the immediate agency of
the ballot box, and seeing that the Gran
ite State has never been overly anxious to
sit at the feet Of Massachusetts and accept
her political teaching, and not altogether
forgetting that the virulent Democratic
corglomerate, itching from head to foot
for victory, made the greatest possible use
of the cry of "Johns oD !'' johnson ~ and
the "President's policy" and "rcstored
and once more harmonious Union," the
result in that State is gratifying in the
highest degree, and should send a thrill
of JOY ecstatic to all who wish to have
proper guarantees of good faith from those
whose hands and skirts are red with tue
blood Of the fallen. Five thousand major
ity out of total vote of seventy thousand
will do for New Hampshire.
The next voice is from Indiana. Two
conventions met in that State, one com
posed Of men whose valor saved the Union,
the other of the Copperhead Democracy.
The former gave its voice against the
admission of unwashed rebels into the
Congressional Halls, TO take part in leg
iSlating for the country they sought to
destroy, and the other for their Immediate
admission and against prohibitory, or in
other words, protective tariff. Indiana
has spoken before, and she will speak
again, but not for playing the crab and
going backwards, as some still say is the
practice of that animal. Pennsylvania,
through two conventions, has lifted up her
voice. The one, the voice of the true
Union men, headed by the gallant Gen.
John W. Geary, and the other Of the true
anti-war, CGpperhead Democratic men,
headed by Hester Clymer, an opponent
of the war, It's measures and results. The
former says to Mr.. johnson: ain the past
you have Seen very patriotic map, very
true man; you have done much and suf
fered much for your country, and stood
firm when all around you faltered. For
tins we admired you and made you Vice
President, but if you intend now to use
your influence in favor of rebels who hate
US and you, We will work against you just
as we have hitherto labored for you."-
The other says: "Mr. johnson, we do not
like TO endorse you, but we'll shout till our
thIoats are sore for what you have recent
ly done aud say rothing about your devo-
.ion to the war for the Union, and if you
still continue to progress, maybe we will
endorse you"
Turning from Pennsylvania to Tennes-
see, Col. w. B. S 'okes, elected Representa-
tive to Congress, but kept from his seat
by the radical majority, said in speech
