party and challenges the admiration of
the disinterested patriots who run the
machine in Pennsylvania and elsewhere,
reads as follows:
Resolred, That the removal of Repub-
licans frem Office by the President noC
because of incompetency or negieGt ot
malfeasance, but because they VIII not
surrender their protoundest convictions
and basely betray their party, TO which
he and they both owe their eleVation'
involves ingratitude and lnhaeiVs'
which cannot be excused or palllateu'
and which provokes the condemnation
of eyery man of honor and virtue.
The Intelligenca will certainly say
amen to that. This thing OF remov-
inc Republicans from office is dreadful;
il involves ihgratitude and infdeilty,
and is the desdliest sin in the whole
catalogue of crime. We hope to see our
neighboI illuminate and fume upon this
subject soon in his most approved style
May he not lack OcCaSlOu
The next resolution is, to say the least
Of it, decidedly rich:
RESOLVED, That the unfailing devotion
of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, during
long and illustrious career, to the cause
of freedom and humanity, and his ha-
tired of treason and traitors, and his aayo'
cacv of the right have stamped him as the
man above all others whom we can safe
ly honor and trust as leader in this
crisis.
The convention should have amended
the resolution slightly, so as to especial
ly applaud the courage displayed by
STEVENS in the Buck-shot war" and
foot note might have been appended
describing how valiantly he leaped out
of a window to escape the indignation
of the people; and it would not have
been amiss to tell also how, in "the
cause of freedom and humanity" he
prosecuted and oppressed the Free Ma
sons of Pennsylvania, THADDEUs STE
VEINS is the man whom the President Of
the United States, in a public speech
proclaimed traitor AID yet he is the
man above all others whom the Union
party" says it "can safely honor and
| trust"
Another resolution passed b. tho Al
legheny county convention is the fol
lowing:
Res0Ired That we owe a debt to the
defenders of our dag that we cannot
repay. The fallen heroes who offered
up their lives that their country might
live. shall be held in hOnOred remem-
brance, and the living shall be the re-
cipients of our lasting gratitude.
1t is a sufficient commentary upon
this simply to record the fact that, out OF
thirteen offices bestowed by the conven-
ton, three Insignificant ones were given
to returned soldiers, and the remaining
ten We're gobbled" by the stay at-home
politicians All these resolutions, and
several others relating mainly 20 affairs
of local interest were almost unanimous
ly passed by the convention The fol
lowing resolutions were offered by ar
outsider" and were unanimously aDC
summarily rejected
ResOlre9, That we deprecate all at
| tacks made upon the President, or upor
the majority of Congress; that both are
representatives Of our party and should
be treated with fairness and kindness
and that all attacks upon either are vel
calculated to induce distraction and hos
tility in our party, and invite defeat
Resolved That in President Johnson
we recognize the firm patriot, the pro
found stateman, and warm defender O.
the people in all sections of tho country
OF course. the leaders of The Union
Party" in West Virginia must be i'm

who are impairment enough to want a
reason for their faith, will sometimes
ask how it is that the Union Party" in
West Virginia fails 20 adopt platform
similar to that occupied by the same
party in Pennsylvania, aud why it is
that the Union newspapers so studi
