Uuion, and the white race, announces
that negro suffrage is the issue before tho

"W hen the question of Universal suc
frage came up in the House of Repre-
sentati7es on the 18Th instant, there
were II6 votes in the affirmative and 81
in the negative, ofwhich there were only
fourteen UniUnists balance being SO
called Democoats. The issue is thus
made up between the great Union party
and its adversaries. Shall these llG
patriotic representatives be discarded
and disgraced, because Of their vote in
favor OF universal suffrage 10 the District

The Pennsylvania Resolutions is Seen
Through Western SpeCtaClGS


The Republican Convention Of Penn
sylvania has SO boldly thrown down the
gauntlet at the feet of the President II
has so defantly breasted his policy,
'siemming it with heart of controversy,
that the Radical as we'll as the Demo
cratic press, in all parts Of the country
are fain to acknowledge that STEVENS
FoRNEY s. Co. have pitted themselves
against the President. No Intelligent
man can, without reDouncing all candor
pretend that the Republicans could sue
ceed in Pennsylvania without humilia-
ting the President. Here is a specimen
of what the Radical Chicago Tribune
has to say on the occasion:
Pennsylvania has always been esteem
ed moderate, sober-minded and eau.
lous State in political action, and al
ways given to supporting the acting
President, where the same was possible
Three months ago the Republicans of
Pennsylvania were tolerably hearty in
their support of Johnson. If they did
not fully subscribe to bis peculiar views,
As then avowed and understood, they
1 treated him with forbearance, charity
and liberation. But his reGcheTous

tdt0rtat assumptions. hqCe disguSted

Uention, on IHursday at Harrisburg,
they nonbinGfcd q RcdicaI soiiier for
GOUenor. They declared in their plat
! form that the work OF reconstruction be-
/ longs 20 C0ngTess-nut to the Executive.
They praised their fellow citizen, Sec
retary Stanton, who is bold Radical
aud they wound up with resolve re-
! queSting Senator C0l0Gh 10 resign his
seat in the Senate. Cowan was elected
by the Republicans, but, like Doolitile,
| has betrayed the cause of freedom aud
| become blatant supporter Of the John
son scheme Of reconstruction, and, like
! DooIitile votes and acts With the copper
heads on all party measures. The re5o-
luton requesting him, in tho name of the
800 600 Republican voters of Pennsyi-
vana, to resign his seat in the Senate,
is an admoniiion 10 "Moses p" John
son that he, TOO, had better resign, uH-
less he is willing to cary out in good
faith, the sentiments Of the great Union
party Who elected him. The loyal
masses are not in humor to be bambooz-
led or betrayed, or to have the fruits Of
their great victory over treason and re
bellion donated back TO the conquered
parricidcs.
President johnson, of course, under
stands the bearing Of the Pennsylvania
resolutions; he cannot but see that they
array the Republican party of that State
in determnated hostility TO him aud his
policy. Itis for him to decide whether
be will give the moral aid Of his great
position to body of men who follow the
lead and submit to the dictaliou, Of STE
yESs and FoRNEy-two factious dema
gogues whom he has publicly denounced

THERE is no foundation 10 the report

and Philadelphia Inquirer that Demo-
cratic committee rom Pennsylvania
waited on the President informed him Of
their action at the late State Convention
aud that he told them to go home and
change their ticket.
There is nc truth in it. Nothing Of
the kind has occurred, the story was
made up of whole cloth by persons who
desire to make the people believe that the
President endorses "Dead Duck" For
ney's man, Geary.
