which was addressed by Gen. Simon Cam

issued from Washington proclamation, as
follows:
81, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare that the insurection which heretofore

and is to be henceforth so regarded in that
state as in the other States before named,
in which said insurrection was proclaimed
to be at an end by the aforesaid proclama.
tion Of the second of April, 1866; and
do further proclaim that the said insurrec,
tion is at an end, and that peace, order,
tranquility and civil authority now exist in
and throughout the whole Of the United
States of America"
1t is fact patent to the most casual OBJ
server that so far as peace having been re-
stored in the State of Texas it is in more
depiorable condition to-day than it was i'm
mediately after the close of the rebellion.
The most open, persistent, and uncontrolled
prosecutions of everything bearing the SEM
blance of Unionism is the order of the day.
The Union men of Texas are not divided in
the accounts they give. Ifburning villages,
numbering women and children, driving
Union white men from the State, assassin
ating Northerrers, and hanging negroes to
the trees by the roadside, are acts of "peace,
order, and tranquility then Texas should
be restored to "civil authority" but not
otherwise. But, "Iago" rules, and accord
ing to "My Policy" the Union men are to
blame-for being Union! ---

Peace on war.

We print this morning most important
and Interesting Executive proclamation on
the subject of the blockade of the port Of
Matamoras by the French and the InrGirpe-
rialists of Mexico. The proclamation, after
referring to the neutrality which has been
observed by the United States since the
beginning of the war in Mexico announces
that the blockade of the port at this time,
80 far as it relates to citizens of the United
States, will be held as utterly null and
void, This step, which no doubt has ynly
been taken after due consideration, may
produce two things: either the speedy over
threw of the bastard monarchy of Mexico,
and the re-establishment of the legitimate
government of the Republic, or it will
bring upon lis war with France, under
the protection of which power the Maxi
milan government was formed and nursed.
In the former event, which would be hailed
with gratitude by all true lovers of religious
liberty, the Government may know that it
has hastened that happy event. Should
the other contingency arise, namely, that
of war, let lis be prepared to attest and
defend our rights. We have a magnificent
navy. Most of our iron-clads can be got
ready for sea at few days notice, and as
for an army, the experience gained during
the rebellion has shown us how to organ
ize military force of gigantic proportions,
that could bid defiance to the armed min
ions of any foreign potentate,-P Philadel-

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag.

The Harrisburg Telegraph relates the
following good one on Ex-Governor Big
ler; There are living in Harrisburg two
brothers clever, respectable intelligent
men, but as widely separated In politics as
are the poles. Bigler having formerly
lived in Harrisburg, is acquainted with
these men, but absence and the lapse OF
years have impaired his knowledge, per-
sonally, of the brothers, and, therefore, 1t
was easy for the Clearfeld sage to confound
the Harrisburg brothers, mistaking the
Republican for the Democrat. He did this
to most ludicrous effect. Meeting the
staunch Republican, Biger at once began
his minipulations for information. How

William. Solid to the CENTRE responded
the Republican. 4 am told that the Re
publican vote will be reduced in Dauphin

formed 4 am not surprised at the misin-
formation, because our friends in Dauphin

being able to reduce the vote, but the re-
suit never fails to exhibit an increase oi

-" Mean Whites, F."

The World this morning speaks of the
Convention of southern loyalists, to meet
in Philadelphia on the 3rd of September
as "the Mean White Convention"
A "mean white in the South, before the
war, was a man who worked for his living,
who supported his wife and children by the
labor of his hands, instead of driving slaves
on plantation, and living off the fruits of
their toll, A mason, a carpenter, shoe
maker, tailor, was "mean white" in aris-
tocratic planters phrase. Andrew Johnson
was "mean white" and, indeed, the ele.
giant World, which now calls the southern
loyalists "mean whites" turned up its nose
at both Lincoln and johnson, in 1864, be-
cause they were, in its opinion, "mean
whites" Here is the language of the
World on those two "mean whites" Abra-
ham Lincoln and Andrew johnson, in
1864:
"rhe only merit we can discover in this
Baltimore ticket is the merit of consistency
it is all of piece; the head does net shame
the tail nor the tail shame the head A
raii-splitting buffoon and a boorish tailor,
both from the backwoods, both growing up
in uncouth ignorance, they would form a
grotesque subject for a satiric poet, who
might celebrate them in such strains as
Dean Swift bestowed on Winston and Dit
ton, or Aristophanes on that servie dema-
gogue, Hyperbolus."
During the same caucus another copper
head journal, moved by the Worlds con-
tempt of such "mean whites" as Andrew
johnson, wrote proudly:
@Pendeton Mr.. Johnson's competitor,
is blooded man, being descended from a
good family, and having not only the edu-
cation and manners of a gentleman, but the
natural hereditary characteristics also"
But this lofty contempt for workingmen
and Union men, this noble of taunting a
man with his poverty, if to poverty hap
pened to be united fidelity to the Union,
did not originate with the World and the
northern democratic parties and speakers.
1t was caught by them, as they caught
their hatred of @niggers," their opposition
to equal rights, their admiration ofviolence
and lawlessness. from the slaveholding aris-
tocracy of the South-those "fne gentle
men," who made war on the Union because
| they feared interference with their glorious
