The Difference.

The different views Of the opposing
parties on the reconstruction question
may be briefly stated, thus The Union
men ask of the late rebel States the fol-
loving guarantees for their future good
behavior, viz: To incorporate into their
State laws such provisions as will secure
al! men, white and black. loyal and dis
loyal, il their rights Of person and prop
erty, to provide against the payment of
debts incurred in the Interest of rebellion.
to elect loyal men to office and to make
such changes in the apportionment OF
Congressional representation as will put
them on au equality with loyal men in
the North. The copperheads Of the ely
mer school ask that the rebels lie permit,
ted to do as they please, to enact black
codes in every State, to persecu:e loyal
men, black or white aud refuse them any
means Of protection or redress, to elect
the bit,elest rebels to Office, to make ser
vice in the rebel army a requisite to pre-
ferment, aud to be permitted to return to
Congress with a representation making
every Southern rebel equal in power to
two loya! Northern men. The first are
the terms asked by the .arty represented
in the Gubernatorial contest by General
John W. Geary. The second are the
terms demanded by the constituency rep
resented by Hester Clymer. Which will
you choose?

NEWS ITEMS.
E77. Hon. A, G. Willard. of Vern

n1- Hon. A. G. Willard, of Vermont
whose name was published as one of the
vice presidents of the johnson Union
Club, has written a letter denouncine
the whole movement. and demanding the
withdrawal of his pane. Mr.. Willard
is an opponent of Andrew Johnson's
policy.
Gas- Because Congress will not relieve
the people Of certain sections of the
South from the payment of revenue tax,
until they eau raise crops, much indigna-
,ior is expressed at the oppression of the
Government. At the same time the
people are very anxious that Congress
should assume the payment OF the Con
fedcrate debt.
sss- The popular Indignation in Wis
consin against the President has moved
the Legislators of that State to change
the name Of one of the eagles kept at the
State capitol from Andy" o"Timcthy."
Thus while the President it his ihdigna-
ton turns Col Forney into a deiunct
fowl, the Wisconsin Legislators transform
the fowl ANDY" into grass.
ssS- The Veto Power having been
much discussed of late, the following re-
cord of instances of its being welded
will be interesting to the general reader {:
BY George Washington. >: James Mad
ison, 6; james Monroe, /; Andrew
Jackson, 3; John Tyler, 4; James X.
Polk, ) T.; James buchanan, |; Andrew
johnson. 2.
Sa- The Democratic papers are now
c~enSuring the President that he did not
carry Connecticut for them. They say
he went just far enough to lose the State
when he might have carried it, and they
further say he ought to have carried it
1t may be some consolation to them to
EeHeCt, tudl IL the 1 Etslutut ull NOT curry
the State for the Democrats, he at least
tried to, aud most certainly did not carry
il, for the Republicans.
sa- The Hon. John A. Mason. of
Iowa, having been approached on the
subject OF running as independent candi-
date for Congress at the next election,
replied as follows:
If am a candidate, it must be a thor.
ough going Republican. one who began
in 1913, who helped build its platform in
1860, on which it gained its first success,
aud who adheres to the platform of 1864,
aud who expects to adhere to the Repub-
lican platform and candidates of 1S6S.-
| am neither for nor against any as
against the Republican party and its
principles. | am against Andrew John
son all the time, if he is against the pro-
lection Of loyal Uuiouists, both white
and black"

Hon. Schuyler coiGax's Position.

You viii ask, perhaps, what Is my pol
icy Of reconstruction | will tell you in
a few words. 1t is the policy Of recon
struction laid down by Andrew johnson
with such emphasis and carnestne-s in
his speeches made to the public between
the mouth of June, l06I, and the month
Of May, 1865. l endorse the sentiments
proclaimed by him in Nashville, the night
he was nominated Vice President. | en-
dOrse the sentiments proclaimed by him
in the Capitol the day when the news OF
the surrender Of Lees army was recei"ed.
| endorse the sentiments uttered by him
to various committees upon entering the
Presidency. l learned these sentiments
from him, and cannot we learn that now ?
| believed in them then, aud believe in
them still. They showed his construc-
ton OF the Baltimore platform, and, high
er still, of his feelings of duty to :he
country. His radical speeches in Ten
nessee were Endorsed by his election, and
| stand by those declarations, yet they
can be condensed in QUE single sentence,
and that is Loyal men shall govern a
preserved Republic stand by that
doctrine !; the Congress of the United
States stands by that doctrine. 1t will
prevail, aud in the policy Of reconstruct
ton which shall be adopted if We are
faithful to ourselves, if We are faithful to
the country, if we are faithful to the
brave and true men who went forth from
their happy homes to die for the salvation
Of the country, we will! proclaim in our
Legislation, as Andrew johnson proclaim
ed at Nashville Loyal men shall govern
a preserved Republic"

ttv0wnIow's OpiniOn.

CHICAGO. March 17.-Nashvilte papers
contain a letter from Gov. BrOwnlow 10
William D. Kelly, member Of Congress,
dated March 8th, wherein he says that
when Richmcnd fell and surrendered, the
rebels and many who sympathlzed with
them we're very respectful to Union men,
of en- ~obsequious. Guilty culprits, they
evidently feared arrest aud punishment,
and felt that to be let alone and allowed
to live was all they lad right to expect,
but since pardous have been 50 multiplies
and no man has been punished, they have
everywhere become impudent and defiant,
until in most counties in Middle and West
Tennessee it is ~disrepu,ab!e to have been
a Union man, or for a Southern man to
have served in the Union army. And
matters are growing worse. Reconstruct
ed traitors are openly cursins loyal men
and threatening them with shooting or
hanging, boasting that they have the Pres
dent Oh their side. We all feel that the
Presidents policy is %ruinous to us. The
most popular men in the largest portion
of Tennessee to day are men most distin-
gulshed for their hostility to the Moth,
aud what they arc pleased to term the
radical Congress and they are the Class
of men selected to fill offices, as late couu-
ty show. The same is true Of the entire
South, only to a greater extent. Many
of them are expecting the President to
dispense Congress with bayonets, as Grom-
well dispersed the Long Parliament. The
Southern heart il. being rapidly fred to
deeds of war and all this and more, as !
believe. has been caused by the mistakes
of the President. His plan of trusting
rebels with State governments has had
the effect and exactly opposite of what he
intended. He has ruined the prospects
Of Union men, aud they feel there is no
safety for them unless Congress shall pro-
tect them.
Juniata sentinel. [volume] (Mifflintown, Pa.) 1846-1873, 1866-04-25
aBLUNDER AND IT'S PREPARATION.

ABLUNDER AND ITS PREPARATION.
When the Southern leaders vacated
their seats 10 the two Houses of Congress
and took up arms against the national
government, they committedea blunder of
serious magnitude. Whele remaining in
their places they had many weighty ad
vantages. Constitutional guarantees ex.
listed for the continuance aud protection
Of slavery. Powerful party affiliations,
always subject to their commands. ex
tended t. all parts of the Union. Their
ascendency in the public councils, though
impaired, was not broken. BY force of
dogmatism aud threatenipgs they cowed
multitudes OF timid people into subser-
viency. A clear majority of the Senate
obeyed their behests. The federal courts
were presided over mainly by their accom-
plices and courts have ia all ages been
the securest refugees of tyranny and all
manner Of old abuses.
When the trial by combat was invoked
all these advantages were relinguished.-
Superiority in numbers, industry, wealth
and intelligence was to decide; aud these
was in the loyal States. Bayonets do not
reason. Cannon do not compromise. By
a necessity invincible as gravitation, the
victory crowned the north.
Now the Southern leaders see the full
bearings aud consequences of their mis-
take. To repair the injury to themselves,
as for as i. is reparable, they wish to slide
back into tie places they forsook. Get
ting back would enable them to sit in
judgment on their own cases, to become
the arbiters of their own fate to pro-
nouuce the absolu:ion of all their politi-
cal crimes. 1t would do more. 1t would
make them the judges, in many instances,
of loyal men, white aud black, who re-
sisted their ambitious schemes and hurled
them into the abyss Of defeat. 1t would,
also, re-cpen some chapters Of the old de-
bate, which, for thirty years, agitated the
nation and planted tcuds between the Sec
tons. Fortunately other chapters are so
closed and sealed they cannot 10 oyeued.
This happened not by human forecast or
design. Above the pavilion of the ten
pest ever roll the wheels of Providence,
and, hence. though great wars seldom &C,
complish the particular results for which
are wsged, they not untrequenty
produce beneficial! Consequences which
did not originally enter Into the category
of probabilities In this way Slavery has
been ex;inguished. Still, many of the
habits, propensities, passions and i%njusti-
ces, that Slavery bred and stimulated, ex-
ist in uDdimini.hed strength.
Therefore We hold that in the settle
ment of the issues raised by the var,
rebel leaders ought not to participate
The men who made the sacrifices, incur
red the hardships, and braved the dan:
gers of the war, are they whose voices
to be potential in determining the
conditions of the pacification.
