SUFFRAGE.


Notwithstanding the studied efforts
of the Radicals to keep in the back.
ground their pet measure of "negro
suffrage" knowing it to be immensely
unpopular with the masses, their candi.
dates are all solemuly pledged to it,
The following will illustrate this point !:
Immediately after his nomination, Gen.
eral Geary called upon a Democratic
neighbor, engaged in mercantile pur-
suits, soliciting his support in the com.
ing canvass. To this the Democrat re.
piled, that previous to the assembling
of the Radical Convention, he had
thought as a neighbor of voting for
Geary, should he receive the nomina
ton, but that the resolutions passed by
the Convention and indorsed by Geary,
had wrought thorough change in his
views. He was always ready to act
neighborly, but it was asking more than
Democratic human nature could bear,
to request his support of so shameless a
measure as that of negro suffrage and
negro equality. To all of which the
life long Democrat" in his blandest
terms, replied that, although he had
fully committed himself to the resolu
tions Of the Radical Convention, his
neighbors need have no scruples about
voting for him, as the subject of negro
suffrage was yet in embryo, and could
not, under any possible circumstances
be brought fully before the people dur
ing his term Of Office, should he bt
elected. The Democratic merchan
failed to see the point so ingeniously
presented, and wisely determined to ad
here to the ancient landmarks of tn,
party with which he had always voted

God for giving victory to the Federal
armies over armed insurgents, and we
congratulate the country upon return
of peace. 1t is as mnch our duty now
to use our best endcavors to heal up
the wounds of the rebellion, as it was to
take up arms in defence of the Union.
Resoiced, That we deny that John
w Geary is the soldiers candidate for
Governor Of Pennsylvania. He is the
choice Of the Radicals, who are seeking
to destroy the Union we perilled our
lives to preserve. The men who placed
him in nomination and who are now his
most active supporters, repudiate the
object of the war by declaring the
South out OF the Union, and by accept.
ing their nomination, he assumes their
principles, which violate everything he
contended for in the field.
Rcsotoed, That we endorse the nomi-
nation Of the Hon. Hester Clymer, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania, because he is a man of
integrity and statesman Of experience,
and approves the principles We advocate.
We call upon our late companions in
arms in this State to rally to his support,
for his election will be an endorsement
of the cause for which VIC fought and
bled, while his defeat will be defeat
of the cause of the Union.
Resolved, That the Radicals in Con-
gress, protesting to speak for the major
ity of the people, have recently testifie ed
their preference for the negro by ap-
propriating money to support him in
idleness, by the payment to him of
bounty OF $500, and the reputation Of
the white soldier and his claims by tn,
passage of bounty bill allowing bu
500 TO him, without even provision
appropriatiug money for the payment o
the same, thus disregarding his faithful
aud patriotic services, demonstrates t
the country their belief in the assertion
that the negro bears the palm.
ResolUed, That we, the soldiers o
Pennsylvania, in Convention assembled
do return our sincere thanks to th'
Hons. Edgar A. Cowan and Charles X
Buckalew, our representatives in tn
Senate of the United States, for thei
noble conduct in sustaining the Presi
dents policy of restoration.
The reading of the resolutions wa
frequently interrupted by the hearty au'
prolonged applause Of the Convention
and they were unanimously adopted.
After some other minor business tn
convention adjourned sine die, to pro
ceed in body to the Bolton House, t
pay their respects to our distinguishes
candidate for Governor, Hon. Hieste
Clymer.

We have heard a great deal, but

We have heard a great deal, but
not much to the purpose, about black
" Unionism and black "loyalty" at
the South. We have heard little or
nothing about black fidelity to the South
ern cause, and to the Southern leaders
and people. The truth is, and every
soldier will confirm it, that for every
black soldier enlisted to do garrison du-
ty on the side of the Union, there were
at least forty blacks at the South who
clung to the fortunes of their masters,
and tepudiated all connection. with the
Northern army. This might have been
foreseen as an inevitable result by any
person who knew the negro character,
1t is sublime effronterY for Radical jour.
mails to deny it now that through four
years war the obvious character of the
negro race thus made an exhibition OF
itself.-Erie Observer.
