r3 Hon. SCHUYLER CoLFAX, of Ind,
Speaker of Congress, having been renomina-
ted for Congress by his district, without
opposition, sent letter to the Convention.
from which we extract the following:
at has been we'll said, in language as
terse as it is true, that the power to carry on
war for National existence carries with it
the power to prescribe the terms of peace.
The duty of guarding the land against the
danger of second rebellion is as imperative
as its preservation from the first. And
nothing seems clearer than that the same
authority which prevented II states from
destroying the Union has q right-as indis
putable as the right of self-defense--to regu-
late the resumption of the relations of those
States.
"When the rebel armies surrendered, the
President decided, and rightly, that civil
government had been destroyed in each of
the rebel States, and he officially proclaimed
that fact in his commissions to Provisional
Governors thereof. The Congressional policy
starts from the same initial point. The
President declared that essential conditions,
involving great changes, must he complied
with by those States before they could re-
sumo their forfeited rights. And so does
Congress. The President required the ratif-
cation of an important Constitutional amend
ment, which had been submitted by Con-
gress representing the loyal States, and in
which the rebel States had no voice. And
Congress makes similar demand to-day.
II the President could rightfully require
their ratification of one amendment, chang
ing their whole system of labor, and de-
stroying what they regarded as vested rights
of property, proposed by Congress in
which they were unrepresented, and in con
flict, as it was, with their lifelong preiu-
dices, why cannot the Congress elected as the
law-making power of the country, by the same
voters as himself, require the ratification of
another amendment, preventing the rebel
States from welding increased power in
Congress hereafter, because of the war.
which, against their desires, had lifted their
slaves into the full stature of Freemen2
That this amendment is in accordance
with the wishes OF the loyal millions who
won the brilliant political victory of 1864
is proven by the unanimity with which il
was supported in the House of Representa-.
tives. Every man elected as Union mem.
Der, whether from the North or the South
from the East or the West, gave it his vote
!, not barely the two-thirds required by the
constitution, but nearly four-ffths. On thii
amendment, as a security for the future, the
Union party OF the nation have planted
themselves, and shall stand with then
most cordially, vindicating its justice, wis
dom and necessity, and willing on it L
stand or fall.

"Can the "Hon." H. B. Masser, ESQ.,, Edi-
tor and proprietor of the AMERICAN, pub
lished in the Borough of Sunbury, Northum
berland county, Pennsylvania, etc. etc., tell
its readers why the Hon. Horace Greeley, of
the New York Tribune, was so anxious to
go jefferson Davis bail ?"-NorthunJeriand
County Democrat.
sW We beg our neighbor not to add the
prefix "Hon." to our name. The title was.
at one time, supposed to be one of distinc-
tion, but now it is frequently conferred, even
upon members of the Legislature, especial
ly by the journals of the new tangled De-
mocracy. 1t is true, we were once an un.
successful candidate for that Office, but that
ought not to put us on level with those
who, like our neighbor, have been in the
ring, and while they reaped the profits, are
generally disposed to give to their neighbors
such empty, if not doubtful honors.
But to answer the question. We can only
say that we don't know what motive Horace
can have, in releasing JEFF. Davis, unless it
is to put the Democratic party in the posi-
tion of the man who bought the elephant
ard then did not know what to do with him.
Horace is a long headed politician and evi-
IDENTIFY thinks if JEFF. Davis is let loose,
among the democracy, he will be a danger.
Gus rival candidate for the Presidency, and
they. will have as much trouble in Gisposing
of him as the man had to get rid of the Gle
phant.

The (Oal Trade.

The quantity sent by Railroad this week
is 79,006 11-by Canal, 33,032 04-for the
week, 112.12S Is tons against SG,9G3 for the
corresponding week last year.
The trade is good. and prices have been
maintained both here and at the shipping
ports. The shipments are diminishing how
ever, in consequence of turnouts at some
of the collieries IN this region, and also
among the laborers at the wharves at Mauch
Chunk.
1t was supposed that the trade would be
dull in the months of July and August, but
so far the demand is better than was antici-
pated The trade is stimulated to some ex-
tent by the impression that the advance in
tolls, which was postponed on the lst OF
July, will take place on the lst of August

THE UNION REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The delegates of the Union Republican
County Convention assembled at the Court
House, in this place, on Monday last, the
proceedings OF which will be found in an
other column. The Convention embodied
many of the best and most intelligent men
in the county, and the proceedings were OF
the most harmonious character. The Con
vention did not deem il advisable to nomi-
nate a full county ticket. John b. Packer,
ESQ.,, was declared the nominee for Congress,
by resolution, without dissenting voice,
and his nomination and election urged upon
the other counties of the district Without
intending to dsparage the claims or quail
fications of any other candidate, we can
honestly say that it is admitted by ALL with
scarcely an exception, that his nomination,
was the best and fittest that could be made,
and that he combines more of the element
of strength and success than any other can
didate IN the district. Should Mr.. Packer
receive the district nomination, his election
would be almost certain. The contest fo
Sheriff was somewhat exciting between thrc
strong and prominent candidates, Messrs
Rothermel, Gehringer and Bisel. Mr.. Roth
ermel was nominated on the Sd ballot, an,
as he is highly popular in the lower town
ships, where he is best known, his chance
of success are deemed quite probable. MI
Rothermel is worthy man of exceler
character, and would make an efficient o
Gcer.
For Prothonotary, the contest was a clos
one between Chas. j. Bruner and Lloyd Z
Rohrbach, Esqrs. They .are both lawye
and both well qualified for the Office, whicl
in the opinion of many, should be filed on
by one who has legal education. NJ
Bruner, the nominee is well known in th
county. He also served as an officer in I'll
army, and if merit and qualifications ar
as they should be, the test for this impo
tant Office, his election should be locke
upon as certain.

sYA The defeat of the Tariff bill in Con-
gress, by postponing it until next session, is
a matter of regret to every true friend of the
country. Unfortunately the Southern Gle
ments are again at work, and politicians
have too little patriotism to sacrifice self for
the public good, and to crafty ciamorous
partisans refuse to sanction measures abso-
lutely necessary for the industrial prosperity
OF the country. There is, however, some
hope that revised bill will yet be passed

Evansville, on the 4th, and returned
in the evening without meeting with
a single accident. The E. & G. Road

Fer cloud his life with woe;
May golden moments-joyful hours
In blissful union flow.
May no scorching blast of sorrow,
No foul besetting sin,
Fer visit home, or heart, or hearth,
To darken all within;
May love, with all her blessings,

WATER.-We Learn from Mr.. Smith

WATER.-We learn from Mr., Smith
that the work ON the canal is progress
ing fast, and that water in the city
may be expected from that source in
a short time. It is expected that it
win reach the city as early as the goth
inst, but it will be let in at the reser-
voir about five days before that time.
It is feared that the canal has so much
filled with earth that the water will
be shallow in the canal in the city,
but sufficient for present purposes it
is hoped, At all events, the canal
cannot long be depended on for water,
as it will, at the present rate of filling
by the washing of the earth into the
bottom, cause the water to run from
rather than to the city
If Evansville is to maintain its cha
racter as a manufacturing city, her
citizens will be obliged shortly to look
to something better than the canal,
as means of supplying that great de-
mand. The canal will do for the
present, but permanent water works
are essential to the manufacturing in
terests of the city, as we'll as the health
of the citizens We hope the people
will not rest content with the prospect
of temporary relief, as ultimately we
must have water works if the city is to
move on.
