The Greene County Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 185?-1867, 1866-11-28

Gilmore township, OF this county, was
equally divided in the last election, giv-
ing sixty three votes for each candidate
from Governor down TO county auditor
Quite a political novelty.
HoRAcE GREELEY is spoken offor U.
S. Senator from New York, and is sup
ported by the Time. He is undoubted
" one Of the ablest politicians and states
men that State affords, and the position
is one which could he gracefully confer
ed upon him by its Legislature.
JOHNSON AND TIE DEMOCRATS
The Washington RepuJlica . OF Nov
18th, the family organ of the President,
contains very angry attack upon the
Chicago Times ard the Democrats gen
orally, from which we take the extract
printed below, The course OF the Re
publicaa, like that of the New York
Times the Plttsburg RpuLiic, and the
other "Brcad-and- Batter" organs, clear
ly indicates that the President is resolv-
ed to put the knife to the called Cop
perheads. Should this policy be entorc,
ed with any degree of consistency, the
rule of the Democratic leaders here and
elsewhere is over. Even TIE Hon. Mr..
Randall, of the First district, will have
to choose between Johnson and the
Democratic party. The extract from
the Republican, carefully read. will
prove the truth of all our prophecies that
the Democrats have only supported
johnson tor pluLdcr. while Johnson was
foolish enough to believe they meant
principle. If We dared to believe that
johnson would be logical in anything
honest, we might anticipate something
like submission to the decree of the bal
lot-box. and the conditions of Congress
to the Southern States Bat let us wait
events, meanwhile rendering our fervcnt
sympathy to the Democrats, who are
alrea ly beginning to feel that in asss'
ting Andrew Johnson to make war upon
his own friends, they simply aided bad
man to bring them to disgrace and ruin
After printing the article from the
Chicago Times the Republican says;
From this article We learn, in sub
stance, that the Cop2erhead, or Demo
cratic party, after violating all their
pledges made at the Philadelphia Ma
tional Union Convention to abandon
their party organization and join ppre-
ly conservative National Union party,
and in consequence of such violation
having been repudialed In every State
OF the Union holding elections since,
except two, have determined upon two
things namely: to declare
First. Tha. their defeat was "attribu.
table more largely to the Admi.lslra-
ton OF President Johnson than to '.al
other causes combined" aud. therefore,
that they repudiate and denounce it.
Second. That negro suffrage is inevl.
fable, and must be met as lite saving
measure to the Democratic parry; there.
fore, the Democracy OF the Northwest
are IN favor of qualified suffrage to the
negro, ard will recommend it to the
Southern States as a ltc,saving measure
for them.
We are glad the Tines editor has
shown his hand and has turned to abus-
ing the President and Secretary Seward
He has removed the mask which lie and
his friends put on at Philadelphia and
wore when they came here to congratu,
late the Presiden, and ask for Offices, -.
The President wouldn't recognize the
same courtenances now They have
changed. There is a SingIenrss of pur,
pose now in their programme. Hereto
fore they were double faced. We have
but q word to say to such creatures as
are represented by the Times:
First. We have the consciousness OF
knowing that they never stung us, he,
cause we always dr. AIDED reptiles and
never took them to our bosom. When
they made their Shiny appearance a,
Philadelphia we struck at them and
drove them cut of the convention, a.
st Patrick drove snakes out of Ireland
Second. We knew they were dishon,
est towards the Presidenl " hen they pul
Clymer up in nPennsyvanla and Hoffman
IN New York, striking Dix down in the
latter State They deserved what the,
got IN both S,ates-defeat.
Third They acknowledge now, wha
we always contended they desired
namely, the SUCCESS OF the old Democra
tic party, regardless ofprinciples, policy
or men.
Fourth. We are satisfied now, a.. ~,
always have been, that the Democratic
party went to Philadelphia for no othe
purpose than to obtain place and power
and not OH account ofany love the,
bore TO President johnson or the pole,
OF the Administration.
Fyh. That the Times proposition
about qualified suffrage Is dlshones,
else it would have adopted that princi
pie when President Johnson urged /
upon Congress in April and July last.
Sjrth That If the Coperheads of til,
Chicago Times stripe had not thus
themselves upon the Philadelphia Con
vention and intrnded themselves iutt
every town, city, ocunty, district an(
