TIE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.


Some Of our readers will doubtless ask
why we do not publish the President )
speech Of the 22nd, of Eel. The true YER
sion we with the whole country are ashamed
Of, and we know that our readers will not
thank us for publishing as the President 5
speech hacthed up report of things the
President never said. Tie following state
ment in regard to the speech is made by the
correspondent of the Boston Daily AdEer-
tiser.
Three versions Of President Johnson 5
speech were given to the public, re-
ported verbatim, one toned down in some of
| It's harshest points by reporter, and one
revised by theaPresident himself 1t is rath-
er amusing as well as instructive to note the
differences between these reports Taking,
for example, the last sentence OF the speech
the following were the exact words Of the
President, printed in papers as widely diff
ferent in opinion and character as our own
and the New York Daily News
sW hen our country is gone, if you are a.
bout that place, look out and you will find
the humble individual who now stands be-
fore you weeping over its final dissolution :
The following is the same passage after
going through the toning down process
at the hands of a judicious reporter, and as
telegraphed to the New York Times, the
Boston journal, and to about half the papers
of the country
II thank you for the respect you have
manifested TO me upon this occasion, and if
the time shall come during the period ofmy
existence when this country is to be destroy
ed, and the Government overturned, if you
viii look out You viii find the humble indi-
yidual who stands before you there with you
endeavoring to avert its final destruction.
The peroration as revised by the President
himself, and as printed by the entire South.
ern press, is as follows
Accept my thanks, gentlemen, for the
indulgence you have given me in my extern
porane0us remarks. Let us 60 on, forget
ting the past and looking only upon the
future, and trusting In Him that can con-
troll all that's on high and here below, and
hoping that hereafter our Union will be re-
stored; and that we viii have peace on earth
and good viii towards men.
The President then retired, amid a
storm ofapplause and congratulations.
With differences in the text SO radical as
these, which are quite as marked in other
portions Of the discourse, 1T is not surpris-
ing that the comments on the speech should
be ofa varied character.
tits worth noting that the allusion to
dead ducks appears in all the published re-
ports.
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1866-03-09

A Washington despatch states that Re-
preventative Nc Kee of Kentucky received
on Monday several letters giving details Of
most inhuman outrages practised upon freed
men within his district and stating that the
perpetrators in one case, on being arrested
by the agents of the Freedmen Bureau,
were liberated on application under writ
of habeas corpus, by State judge.
The Texas State Convent now in o in ses-
sion at Austin, has added an article to the
constitution abolishing slavery or involuntary
seryitude except for crime, protecting the
blacks in their rights Of property, and allow
ing them to testify in the courts.
Aon. James johnson, late PROVISIONS
Governor Of Georgia, who is now in Wash
ington, says, the condition Of affairs in thai
State is very far from being as satisfactory
as when the civil government was first re
stored He speaks of the Freedmens Blu
reau as an absolute necessity, both for tht
Union men and the blacks, and that it i
very important that more troops be sent in,
to the State at once.

A THREAT.


Mr. Garrett Davis is Senator af the Uni
ted States from Kentucky, sent there by
such Of the Democrats Of that State as did
not 60 into the rebel army. He has been
the most violent Of Gopperheadi outdoing
even Salisbury Of Delaware, who should long
ago have been expelled. Mr. Davis ii the
debate the other day, fnding that Congress
could not be bullied or cajoled from its posi-
ton in regard to the admission Of represen-
tatives from Southern States, used the fol-
lowing reasonable language as found in the
Saturday telegraph report. Mr.. Davis
said.
That the Southern Senators and those who
were in favor of receiving them in the SEN
ate constituted majority of the whole num-
Der pf Senators. If these two wanted the
President could communicate with them or
the constitutional body, and BY the Eternal
he would advise him to do it tomorrow. He
would be clearly right in doing so. He
would sooner trust the Southern Senators as
the friends of the country than those who
were for keeping them out, The President
had the remedy in his hands and ought to
use it. There was no palmer principle of
law than that the President would have the
right in case the Southern Senators came
here and went into session with those who
were in favor Of admitting them to decide
whether it was or was not the constitutional
Senate
Reasonable as the sentiment here ayowed
is, it viii be re-eehoed by the copperhead
press, throughout the country. 1t may be
that such purpose as indicated above is
cherished AMI that this Senator was put
forward to feel the way 1t is said that Sen
ator Cowen favors such a proposition,
fraught as it with disaster and wo. IF he
should support it, bold as he is, he viii find
Pennsylvania too hot to hold him. And if
any vulgar innitator of Napoleon and Crom-
well should attempt to put these eanons of
craftsmanship into practice, he viii find the
Tarpeian rock little nearer the city of
Washington than it is generally supposed
to be. The people are ip no humor to be
trihed with
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1866-03-09
RESOLUTION PASSED.

The concurrent resolution in relation tc
the admission Of the States lately in rebel
lion, has passed both branches Of Congress.
As it is joint resolution it does not. fortu.
nately, require the signature of the Presi,
dent, who would have taken great pleasure
in intervening with his veto, if we ma5
judge by his action on the Freedman Bill.
The following is the resolution:
Bet Resoleed 6y The House Of Represe,a.
tattces, tic SeRote ooncuRring. That In on.
der to cause agitation do in a question which
seems likely to disturb the action Of the
Government, as well as to quiet the uncer-
tainty which is agitating the minds of peonle
Of the eleven States which have been de-
clared to be in insurrection, no Senator 4,
representative, shall be admitted into either
branch of Congress from any of said State
until Congress shall have declared said States
entitled to such representation.

A VIvAcIous DESCRIPTION, Even the
present political crisis has Its comic aspect.
TIE Norwich Bulletin has discovered it and
speaks as follows Of the Hartford Times and
other democratic papers
They wriggle and twist with delight.
The Hartford Times, whose subsistence for
the past five years has been on funeral baked
meats, bobs around the arena in perfect
ecstacy of pleasure. Ii slaps the President
on the back, calls him Glorious old Andy,
says he is tower of strength against the
assaults of disunionists, calls on the people
to rally round him, and pironettes about
him as though he was a long lost brother, left
in his infancy on desolate island, but now
discovered and recognized and identified by
the Wart On his elbow and the elegant voice
he has for whiskey The Times acts ike
an elephant that's been taking chloroform.
Who cares for broken crockery when fun like
this is going on?'

orr STANDARD BEARER.

We have received the gratifying intelh-
gence that that tried Statesman and genuine
soldier, Major General John W. Geary, oi
Cumberland County, has received the nomi-
nation for Governor ofthis Commonwealth.
The action Of the Convention meets our
hearty approval, and we enter the contest
with unusual ardor, feeling that in General
Geary, we have candidate who combines
all the elements essential 20 success, The
campaign opens auspiciously and the Unien
party true to their promises, and consistent
with their former professions, have with
singular unanimity rallied around those,
who rallied for the Union, in It's great strug
Gle for existence, and constitutional liberty,
In view of the stirring events through
which we are now passing in our transition
from Stateof revolution 10 a period ofpeace
and looking to the treason of the past, and
the treachery Of the present, we feel proud
that in this trying crisis, we have one who
never bowed to the slave power, or yielded
to the Establishments of traitors. Such a
man is Gen. Geary.
He has won bright laurels both in the
CA binet and in the field From being
Lieutenant he progressed to be a Major
General, and from the plain surveyor and
engineer, he is now prominent candidate
for Governor of this Comm0nWealth-th
second in point of wealth and population in
the Union. The great secret of his success
IS to be found in his industry, perseverance,
constancy and virtue He has fought the
battle of life on many hardly contested
field and he can to day point to a record
without stain or blot to mar Its beauty
His splendid record upon the fields of Mexico
caused President Polk to appoint him Post
Master at San Francisco, believing that he
was capable of organizing that branch of the
public service. Once In California, his abili-
ties were quickly recognized and rewarded
BY his elettion to the Office of First Alealde,
and then being UNANIMOUSLY chosen first
Mayor of San Francisco The name of Gen.
Geary is identified with many of the stirring
events in that land of adventure, and the
annals of California furnish many evidences
Of his activity and success, In shaping that
policy which has given the Golden State"
that distinction she now possesses.
The record of Gen. Geary in the present
war, is that of successful chieftain, afford
ing fruitful theme for the historian and
the brilliant adornment Of many a rage of
military glory. There is not soldier in
the Republic, that does not feel the blood
of patriotism stir within him, at the recital
of the blood stained fields, on which he in
commonwith our soldier candidate contended
against the hosts of treason. For Gen. Geary
ourState should poll at least thirty thousand
majority. What say you vets? A voice
like that of the mighty deep, comes rolling
from the plains of the North, meeting the
swelling chorus sweeping from the bosom of
the lakes, and commingling with the rap
turous shouts of freemen from the East, and
proclaims in majesty, that the people of this
noble Commonwealth, the land of Penn,
and the birthplace of American Liberty are
determined to stand by their Country's De

WAsHINeToN REPoRTs.

Our private advices from Washington all
concur that the Presidents demons tration
at the theatre On the I'D instant, was most
indecent and disreputable. The volunteer
counsel of the assassins of President Lincoln
were head actors in the performance.
IYretches who deplored the escape of the
Vice President from the knife of the assas-
sin were there to applaud. Berret, the ex-
Mayor of Washington, who was in Fort La
Fayette; one man who was in the old capitol
on suspicion Of being one of the assassins;
every one Of the leading secessionists; and
their fellows of high and low degree were all
on the side Of the President. Mr. Thomas
B. Florence was Master of Ceremonies, and
the tickets Of admission to the theatre bore
his signature name, in the Judgment Of
all republicans saved from being Infamous
only BY being contemplate.
The speech of the President at the White
House, in its matter and surroundings. an
palled the Conservatives They telegraph
ed to Mr.. Seward, at New York, to take
care and not commit himself, and this ex.
plains why his speech was tame, spiritless,
and in part incoherent. II Pittsburgh Gazette

voted in favor of the Veto Message, and
three-Messrs. Stanton, Harlan, and Speed
opposed it. Nc Culloch is Democrat,
and was never anything else: Seward NOR
al obliquity and utter runtrustworthinss have
been well known for FIVE years He under
stands the art of eoncealing truth with Ian
guage, but not the more simple and infnit-
ly higher one of being an honest and patriot
ic man. As for Messrs. Dennison and Wei
les, having little reputation to lose they suf-
fer only to limited extent.
When the bill came up again in the Sen
ate on the question it pass, notwith-

Cowan, of Penna; Dixon, of Conn; Dooiit-
tie, of Wisconsin: Morgan of New York;
Norton, of Minnesota; Stewart of Nevada;

know that not one of them all will go back
to the seats they have dishonorod Cowan,

Union man would touch him with pole.
