the people OF the country, within the last
week, arising from the veto of the Civil
Rights bill by the President, and the
passage of the bill by tie Senate, notwith
standing his objections. This result eau
ses a,"split," between the Executive and
his original friends in Congress, go wide
and deep that re-upion appears to be
impossible. How public man, such as
is Andrew johnson, could have SO far
forgotten his pledges to the party that
defended him from the vilest aspersions
OF his enemies aud the enemies of the
country-thaJ took him by the hana. in
the spirit of confidence in his integrity
and truthfulness, and elevated him to his
present position,-as TO violate all these
| pledges, is one of the unaccountable
events which staegers even the magma
ton. The sophistry and fal,ity Of the
statements contained in his veto message
have been most ably set forth by Senator
Trumbull, of Illinois send you copy
of the synopsis Of his speech, which you
should publish, as L perceive you have
already published the veto message. Then
let your readers Judge between him and
| his accusers.
The President has already tried his
hand at endeavoring to control State cleo
tons. and enforcing them to endorse lis
''policy.' His signal failure in his at
tempt to defeat the brave Gen Hawey in
Connecticut has been heralded from one
| end OF the lard to the other. The loud
huzzas OF the populace, accompanied by
the booming OF cannon, give assurance
that the loyal heart of the country is all
right, and that there need be no fear OF
the results Of four-years' bloody war
being diverted from their legitimate end
Alter the election in Connecticut came
that in Rhode Island, and so bIighting of
the hopes of the secession syn pathizers
was the Union victory in the former State
that the slaveocrats in the latter scarcely
made a show of opposition to Gen. Burn
side, the Union candidate
If the Presidential intervention in State
elections has SO far proved disastrous to
the party into whose arms he has thrown
himself, by what show of reason can the
advocates of Hester Clymer in Peunsyl-
wanna calculate upon any advantage to
their candidate arising from Johnson's de-
lection to his party, and his abandonment
OF all that Is truthful and honorable p
The President will hesitate before going
into wholesale prescription OF those who,
holding office under him, decline to advo-
cate his ''poicy." In that way alone, Il
mean by prescription can his :nterfe-
renee IN this State amount to vote BY
holding the sword an terrOgem over the
heads of Federal Office holders, a very few
weak-kneed Republicans might be scared
into voting for Clymer, but there wou!d
be coun'er effect upon honorable men of
the opposition, who would become dis
gusted with the adoption of such meas
ures to uphold an Executive Who has
proved ungrateful to the friends that elec-
ted him. Up to this time, your CORE
spoudent has not met one Republican,
either liz Office or out of ii, who endorses
Andrew johnson and his veto; and you
must bear 10 mind that this is the poli.i-
cal center of the State. Here are repre-
sentatives from all portions Of PennsyIva-
MIA, who, naturally, reflect the sentiments
of their respective party friends at home.
Indeed, the effect of the veto has been to
draw the Uuion men closer together-to
nerve them for the coming couhict-to in
fuse into the organization spirit of
rivalry, manifested in a determination
that Pennsylvania shall not be outdone,
even by glorious little Rhode Island As
both she and her sister, Connecticut, have
already chosen gallant and loyal soldiers
as their respective Chief Magistrates, the
reSolce is unanimous that the glorious old
! Keystone will follow the p-aiseworthv
example by giving the soldier and patriot,
General Geary, the largest majority ever
polied In the State.
| We had visit from the "Oid Public
Functionary," James Buchanan, few
days ago. He was the guest of Ex.-Gov.
David Il. Porter. 1t is said that his
mission here had in view the organization
Of the friends of Cymer, aud that he,
himself-J. B.-would enter actively into
the campaign. Well, that will do If
any one thing were necessary to insure the
election of the Union nominee, it is that
1T be known that James Buchanan has
taken Clymer into his embrace and pre-
sents him to the people of Pennsylvania
as his peculiar favorite The whole mat
ter will resolve itself down to this :. the
election of Clymer will be an endorsement
of the administration of Buchanan and
his aoar policy. uIGbde dtctu! Why,
such being the issue, General Geary's
majority will be over fifty thousand!
All eyes are now turned towards Wash
ingtcn, anxiously watching the fate of
the Presidents veto of the Civil Rights
bill IN the House of Representatives,
All the true friends of the country are
sanguine as to the result. The House
will certainly emulate the example of the
Senate, and, by SO doing, perfect the pas
sage of the bill. Oae thing is beyond all
doubt. Your Representative vote will
