ELI SLIFER,
Secretary Of the Commonwealth. Il.


In Secretary Stewards speech at Niagara
Falls during the great Presidential stump
ing tour, occurs the following:
81 want the Republicans to nominate
the man (Fenton) they intend to nominate
for Governor of the State of New York, to
test their principles, and in the election
now some weeks off, if he is not defeated
by majority of forty thousand, do not
call me prophet"

The People Must be Trusted

When the Philadelphia Convention met,
the Executive distilled the gentle dew
from his eyelids, and telegraphed to that
body: @I thank you for your cheering and
encouraging despatch. The finger of Prov
idence is unerring, and will guide you
safely through. The people must be trust
ed, and the country will be restored. My
faith is mistaken as to ultimate success" "
The President no doebt, by this time be-
gins to think that though "the finger of
Providence is unerring," it didn't point in
exactly the direction he supposed. Will
Andrew johnson ever come to a proper
understanding of his own stupidity in re-
gard to popular feeling and sentiment
How about his faith in ultimate success
now ?

THE RESULT.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph, November 81
Twelve States voted on Tuesday last
and the questions decided were, "Shall the
restoration policy of Andrew Johnson be
sustained, or the plan Of reconstruction
presented by Congress"
The answers to these important questions
have been most emphatic Maryland and
Delaware, two of the smallest States of the
Union, have, by the aid of the votes of men
who fought in open rebellion against the
Union-who in the darkest hour of It's ex-
istence burned its towns aud destroyed It's
villages-decided in favor of the policy
adopted by the President.
Ten States, some of them the largest
and weathest in the Union, have decided
in favor of Cengres. 8. Was there ever a
rebuke witnessed tike this? The Repub-
licans have reason to be proud OF their TIL
umph, especially when we remember that
the whole power of the Executive was op-
posed to them and was used IN the most
INSCRIPTIONS manner.
The National Treasury was even debased
for this purpose. Millions of gold were
soll in New York, at the rate of l27, to
individuals who, Immediately after their
purchase from the Government ran 1t up
to 148, and thus realized over TEN MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS PROFIT without handling one
dollar of the coin. A large amount of
these profits were directly appropriated as
an election fund to corrupt Republicans
and carry the election in favor of the Pres
ident. With all this power but two small
slave States, Maryland and Delaware,
could be corrupted.
The voice of the people has been en-
phatic and we append general summa-
tion of Republican majorities, which have
sustained Congress and made treason obi
Gus. Look at the glorious result:

PIrTsBURG, September 25.-Our city
is ablaze with excitement. Large dele
cations from all parts of the country
have arrived, and our streets and pubic
theroughfares are crowded. Private
dwellings and business houses through
out the city are gaily decorated with

heartfelt emotions OF the people. At an
early hour the City Hall was crowded to
excess by those who came for the pur-
pose Of viewing the splendid decorations
The crowd finally became SO dense
that no further access could be had, and
thousands were obliged to retire. The
ladies' choir occupied the gallery, and q
number.of patriotic songs ware sung. a
large number of soldiers Of the war Of
1872, and of Mexico, occupied the plat
form. A number of speeches were dc,
livered by distinguished gentlemen al at
home and from abroad, and loud catis
were made for Generals Butler and
Geary, who, however, were not then
present. The audience then fell upon
Mr.. Pope, who sang several affective
songs. o.

tion, the crowd we're invited 70 rstlfe

was sung in most effective manner
Generals Butler and Devans now made

Thereon.

HEAD. .QRs. ARMIES UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, June 30, 1866
General Il. z. Lee, Richmond, "a:
GENERAL:-Your communication of
date the 18th inst, stating the steps you
had taken after reading the Presidents
proclamation Of the Doth ult., with the
view of complying with its provisions
when you learned that, with others, you
were to be indicted for treason by the
Grand Jury at Norfolk; that you had
supposed that the officers and men Of the
Army of Northern Virginia were, by the
terms of their surrender, protected by the
United States Government from mOlesta-
ton, so long as they CoDformed to its
conditions; that you were ready to meet
any charges that might be preferred
against you, and did not wish to avoid
trial, but that if you were correct as 10
the protection granted by your parole,
and were not to be prosecuted, you de
sired to avail yourself of the Presidents
amnesty and proclamation, and inclosing
an application therefor, with the re-
quest that, in the event, it be acted on,
has been received and forwarded ts the
Secretary of War, with the following
opinion endorsed thereon:
In my opinion the officers aud men
paroled at Appomattox Court House, and
since upon the same terms given to Lee,
cannot be tried for treason so long as they
obserre the terms Of their parole. This is
nv understanding. Good faith, as well
as true policy, dictates that We should
observe the conditions Of that eOnven-
tion. Bad faith on the part Of the gov
ernment, or a construction of that con-
vention subjecting the officers to trial
for treason, would produce a feeling Of
insecurity in the minds of all officers and
men. If so disposed, they might even
regard such an infraction of terms by the
government as an entire release from all
obligations on their part. | will state
further that the terms granted by me
met with the hearty approval Of the
President at the time, and of the country
generally. The action of Judge Under
wood. in Norfolk, has already had an
injurious effect, and iCOald ask that he be
ordered to quash all indictments found
a0dinst pdroled prisoners Of Udr, and to de-
sist from the further prosecution Of them.
