How Democratic presidents and Vice
Presidents Staad on the Record.

How Democratic presidents and Vice
Presidents staad on the Record.
The Democracy are prone to boast of the
fathfulncss of their party leaders and Office
holders when in power. Let US see how
such as these have acted before and during
the struggle for the Union, taking Presi-
dents and Vice Presidents for example
John Tyler, who was a Democratic Presi-
dent, bseaifie traitor; carrying all his
household into treason.
Frank Pierce, a Democratic President,
wrote letter to the rebel leaders, encourag.
ing them to proceed in the war on the Union,
and assuring them that the Democracy Of
the North would be with the shareholders
Of the South
John c. Breckenridge, / Democratic Vice
President, was General in the rebel army,
leader in all councils which paved the way
to revolt, and while he presided in the Uni
ted States Senate, was engaged in plotting
the downfall of the United States Govern
ment.
James buchanan, the last Democratic
President, was a conceded and traitorous
coward, who winked at the dismantIing Of
Navy Yards, the robbery of arsenals, the
destruction of navies and the pilfering Of
the National Treasury.
In the face of these facts it is certainly
| the height of presumption, folly and imper-
tinence to hear Democrat boast of the
patriotism Of Democratic officers high in
/ power

son.
He declared that coercion Of armed ro-
bellion was unconstitutional.
He styled Union soldiers hounds, =
bulldogs, 'hirHlihgs, 'nluions, in

He predicted and encouraged tire IN the
rear of Union soldiers.
He proclaimed, by implication, that JEFF
Davis was purer patriot than Abraham
Lincoln.
He discouraged the raising of armies by
volunteering:
He denounced the filling up of our ar
mics by conscription.
He opposed every measure by which the
Union was saved.
He characterized Abraham Lincoln as a
styrant, 'usurper," .buffoon, and ''as-
sassin.
He rideculed Andrew johnson as d "re
creant, spelfhnnter," 'inebriate and
''adyenturer.
He exposed the extention of the elective
franchise to the men in the field perilling
their lives in defence of the Union, and
when they did vote he charged that such
use of the ballot was illegal and fraud.

serters and struggled with all his legal force
to prevent the punishment Of bounty-jump-
ers.
He could see nothing heinous in the mur-
der Of 9i draft officer or the pilfering of an
enrolment office.
He declared the war failure, and insist
ed that it ought to cease, while he advoca-
ted the election to the Presidency of play
ed ont military bOrubast.
He rejoiced over rebel and m0urued al
Union victory
He opposed the establishment of ma
tional currency.
He insisted on Pennsylvania paying hel
English creditors in gold, when by all the
rules of financial business the State could
only be asked to pay in currency. The pay,
ment in gold cost the Commonwealth many
thousands of dollars which went at the time
to fill the pockets of Englishmen who were
then engaged in affording aid and comfort
to the rebels fighting for the destruction o.
the Government.
These are few of the distinguished acts
performed by Holster Clymer while he wa:
State Senator He is now candidate fol
Governor, and was nominated by his party
because of his record above given vii
the people of Pennsylvania endorse can
didate coming before them with a record
like this? The result of the election in 0c
tober will be the answer.

The Fighting Force in Germany

The news from Germany is still warlike,
but the accounts are so conflicting that it is
impossible to Judge which of the belliger-
ents is best prepared for an actual outbreak.
In the event of war, nearly a million Of
soldiers could be put in the field by Austria
and Prussia, and quarter of million more
by Italy, should she be dragged into the
fight.
According 10 the official statistics, the
Austrian army, upon a full war footing,
amounts to 5S9, 600 artillerymen, 106, 600 ex-
ira corps, drivers, sanitary aids, ambulance
and field hospitable men, &c, AZ, 900 caval-
~. Deducting from the infantry and the
jagers the fourth battallions and depot
strength (l09,S00 mem, who remain in the
country and the recruiting districts, the num-
Der of the available footsoldiers amounts to
32l, 900. Making similar deduction from
the artillery, the xtra corps and the cavalry
the TWO former could take the field with
1900, and the latter With 35 900 men,
amounting altogether to 433, 700.
The available force of the Prussian army
y about 367 ,000 men but she can put in
the field, in case of extreme need, about
800, 900. She has, however, some thirty
tortresses to defend among them Stettin,
Cologne, DantZg, Madgeburg, Posen, Cob
lentz, Ehren breitstein and Konigsberg.
The Italian Minister of War has address
ed report to the King on the state of the
army, from which it appears that there are
at present under arms I4,004 officers and
100, 325 privates, or 204, ,529 in all. The re-
serve comprises 1,7s4 officers and las, ,660
privates, forming in all Is, Ala men. Grand
total, 354, TAB men. Of these it is stated in
the report that 100000 men are available
on the shortest notice. Moreover, SO, ,00o
men having been called out fer drill, these
would be fit for service about the end of
May.
There may be some truth in report,
given in Berlin letter recently received in
Florence, to the effect that Bismarck has
said in reply to friend who asked him
if the convention with Italy was an accom-
plished fact "We have no necessity for :
written treaty with Italy the alliance ex
lists by the force oteircumstance The irsi
cannon shots exchanged between Austria
and Prussia would bring King Victor Eman
ual and his troops before the Quadrilat
eral, we're it only to forestall Garibaldi and
his volunteers.

Who are the most Jealous for clymer .

A cUtemporary gives the following point
ed answers to the above Question.
They are the men who declared JEFF Da-
Wis better patriot than Andrew johnson.
They are the same who pronounced Grant
butcher, and Lee christian gentle
man.
They are the men who denounced the
martyred Lincoln as a Htyrant, and op-
posed the hanging Of JEFF Davis.
They are the men who were 10th to credit
the news of Federal victory, but always
swift to herald the news of Federal defeat
They are the men who cursed Sherman,
Sheridan and Burnside, and made the well
kin ring with burrahs for Vailandigham and
JEFF Davis
They are the men who said our soldiers
were fighting not for the Union but for the
abolition of slavery" and that the rebels
were fighting to avoid being reduced to s'cer-
tain yassalage.
They are the men who were known du-
ring the war as deserters, bounty-jumL Lers,
who fed the country to avoid the draft
They are the men who counseled and en-
couraged resistance to the conscription law,
and lurked in corn fields and thickets to
shoot down enrolling officers while in dis
charge of their sworn duty
Ihey are the men VINO by their teachings
fired the base passion of the New York rab-
bic that burned down orphan asylums, and
murdered innc cent and helpless eolored peo-
pie in the streets.
They are the men who during the war;
had nothing but denunciation for the admin
istration and apology for rebellion.
They are the men who sneaked to the
the polls ia 1864 and voted to withhold from
our gallant soldiers in the6eld the privilege
of participating in the choice of those who
were to make the laws to govern the wives,
sisters and mothers they had left behind.
They are the men who applauded the
ernor IN r refusing to Andrew sb johnson $50 tn the
privilege of speaking for the Union, in the
Senate Chamber of Pennsylvania.
These are the men who are now most
jealous for Clymer. What loyal man wants
to train in such company?

Congressional Representation Under
the Proposed Amendment.

In the accompanying table we present the
effect Of the Proposed Amendment to the
Constitution upon the Congressional repre-
sentation of the slave States A new cen
sus would probably somewhat modify these
figures. The loss of life in the late war is
not introduced because the amount is un-
known; nor is the migration of the black
race, consequent upon freedom. But we
believe the result win be substantially as we
state it below.
The first column gives the Population of
the Slave States in 1860, taken from the
United States Census; the second column
the voters in 1860, taken from the Tribune
AImanac; the third column presents the
number of Male Citizens of Color above the
age of 81; the fourth column, the present
number of Members the State is entitled to-,
and the last the number to which she will
be entitled when the proposed law shall have
been carried into effect. By this plan the

THE BAtrmoRE FAutKt.-Tbe :

The BALTIMORE FAILURE. The Balti-
more Amerlcau says that the failure Of Mr..
L. P. Bayne, of that city, is associated with
facts which the national credit demand
should be made public Throughout the war
he was the leader of the Baltimore clique
which devoted its energies to the deprecia-
ton of the Government credit and the en-
hancement of the price of gold, and was
regarded by rebellious sympathizers as a
King of Finance With these antccedcnts
and characteristics, he became possessed of
unlimited control of national depository,
and actually used the money of the Govern
ment during the war to speculate against Its
credit. He borrowed of the bank 500, 900
without giving any security. The Anlerican
thinks the whole affair is swindle, and
calls for rigid investigation into the rules
governing the operations of the bank, and
into the loyalty of its officers.

EMPLOYEES IN THE DEPARTMENTS The
resolution of inquiry offered by Hon. Green
Clay Smith, of Kentucky, with reference to
the employees in the several departments,
viii if properly replied to by the different
Secretaries, reveal some startling facts in
relation to the male and female employees
of the Government.
The investigation was instituted yesterday
and there was a general hutter among the
clerks, especially the lady clerks, many of
whom showed, by their answers to the ques-
tions put to them, that they never had any
friends in the Union army, while they had
plenty of them IN the rebel service The
same is true of large number of the male
clerks. Andrew Johnson's promise to give
positions to returned Union soldiers is like
all his other pledges, entirely forgotten
Very few soldiers have received appoint
ments In the departments since his circular
was issued, except such as promise to sup

Judge Barrett held that the law of Cong

the jury failed to agree, and were discharg.

cases were discontinued

He saw the fort burning, and heard the

General Mason had instructed the comman-
