eY a massacre of Union people occurred in
New Orleans, yesterday. The Union Conven-
ton was broken up, prominent Union men shot
down in the Streets Rebel flags hung out, the
Mayor and police cheered on the rabble, and
rebel soldiers again partially appeased their
appetites for blood. The minions who have
been schooled by "My Policy" are working
out the legitimate fruits of their teaching. If

@-P President Johnson objected to GER
tain congressional bills because they con-
ferred on the Executive too great power.
Is it not singular that one who claims. to
feel so much concern for the cause ofliberty
should make such despotic use of his au-
thority? Butan insulted Congress and an
outraged nation are watching him. If "my
policy" means to turn the government over
into the hands of rebels, it is evident that
the Executive is already invested with too
much power. Be-. ......... r.-.

Correspondence of the Potter Journal
Eefter from the Capitol.
HARRISBURG, July 80, 1865

DEAR JOURNAL: The Gubernatorial can
vass has fairly opened in this section of the
State. The copperheads are putting forth
all their energies for CIymer. On the 18th
Of July their Convention at Reading prov
ed complete fzzle True, Clymer, Pen
dIeton, ,Vaux with few lesser lights spout
ed to their hearts content but failed to
achieve much. They expected fifty thou
sand butwere crest-fallen at "the deep dam
nation of their taking off, There was a
crowd of FIVE thousand persons and many
of these Republicans who went to see the
elephant" The speakers were bod in
their denunciations of Congress, and took
particular pains to join hands with the re
bels. Their case in this section of the state
is indeed hopeless. The first "great" drama
proved decided fzzle. Last week the
curtain of the second scene was raised at
Johannesburg, when Clymer dispensed
food to the political brethren, but as fate
would have it, disappointment came again,
and only a few of the chosen could be found,
after canvassing the surrounding country
for two weeks and distributing passes over
the railroads to all who would promise to
attend. This closed the second scene and
the curtain fell in darkness. The opinion
is gaining ground among all intelligent
classes, and acknowledged by honest leading
democrats, that there is not the faintest
prospect of Clymer's election. Gen. Geary
will be most triumphantly elected But
the more violent of the copperheads are
determined to give battle as long as they
can. Consequently they have appointed
next Wednesday as the time for presenting
the farce under the name of the Soldiers
Convention. They are pettifogging and
holding County Meetings for the purpose
of selecting delegates for this third fzzle
upon the programme. But a very great
obstacle has arisen which they cannot avoid,
viz: They cannot find soldiers enough for
delegates. In this extremity they have re-
sorted to a very honorable practice, and get
deserters and bounty jumpers, who they
pay regular salary. They have learned
by experience that the soldiers would ra-
ther fight under Geary-who is soldier
than under Clymer, who opposed the SOL
dier, as Senator Of Pennsylvania, in every
conceivable way. The soldiers of the Key
stone State have seen too many battles,
and undergone too many hardships to de-
sert hero like Gen. Geary, and join the
disIoyal ranks ofHeister Clymer, Clymer
is at heart to-day opposed to the soldier
and in sympathy with the late rebels. But
the intelligent sons of Pennsylvania will
not be deceived, and the October Election
will speak in tones which Mr.. Clymer will
never forget. Yours truly,
-. -- PTRIIcIrs

ET The Cholera we learn by reports in
the daily papers continues to pursue its in
cipient steps, and the number Of cases is
steadily increasing. The fact that this
dread visitant first seeks certain localities
which are most favorable to its develop
ment,and that it is most fatal to persons of
depraved habits, is conclusive proof that
much can be done to prevent its spread
Let all be admonished, therefore, that zone
ounce of prevention is better than pound
of cure" Let each citizen give particular
attention to all the sanitary measures cal
culated topromote his general health. Keep
clean house and cellar, don't spare the
lime in white washing, remove all filth or
decaying matter from your yards or prem
ises, live plain and abstemiously, take at
least two or three baths weekly to keep the
skin open and in healthy working order,
keep cool, don't get frightened, have good
conscience, vote the Union Ticket, and you
need not fear the cholera. ..-

Rg AS the Democracy have been very

~As the Democracy have been very
much in love with Horace Greeley lately,
for the reason that it was reported that he
offered to become one of jeff. Davis bail,
we ask their attention to his opinion OF
them, given in last Fridays Tribune:
awe say no more than every observing
man knows to be true when we assert that
Ignorance and Intemperancea are to-day the
main pillars of the swindling fossil which
miscalls itself the Democratic party. We
mean precisely this-that if all the voters
were intelligent, while none were intempe-
rate, the so-called Democratic party would
stand no chance. Take any city, county or
ward you please, and single out those
among its voters Who can't read and will
get drunk, and nine-tenths of them are
Democrats, even when the great mass Of
their neighbors are Republicans" l-.

The Copperheads have been severely
rebuked by the action of Tennessee in rat

they would show the same spirit in accept

willing to exclude rebels from Office, ex-
tend civil rights to the freedmen, establish

alive. The action of Tennessee foreshad-
