thoEtty thati has been suggested to the
leading men of the Convention that an
address to the people would be prefer
able to q series of fresolutions. If an
address is prepared, it Will be conserv-
atiYe in tone, and calculated to unite
the, oderate men of both sections. It
win recognize the fact that the war has
forever settled the question of secession
in the negative, without, however, inn
pairing in any way the rights of the
States. 1t will be denied that war can
destroy q State or exclude it from the
Union. The enancip patton of the slaves
will be recognized, but the right of the
servile population lately admitted to
freedom to have the ballot, will be de-
MED. AT the same time the address
Will assert the duty of the people OF the
South to care for the freemen, and by
,eYery, means seek to elevate and fit
them for the change accomplished by
the war. The address will also assert
the supremacy of the Federal Govern
ment in all matters coming properly
within its sphere, as defined by the
Constitution, but claiming for the
States all the rights not expressly dele
gated to the General Government. The
right of all the States to be represented
in Congress will be claimed, and the
people will be called upon to assist the
conservative men of the country in the
effort TO secure for the Southern States
their constitutional privileges. The
action of the President of the United
States in endeavoring to prevent un-
.constitut tional legislation by Congress
will be commended, and all conserva-
tive mon will be called npon to organ
ize by local, State and National Com
mittees, as! a grand National Union
party to rescue the Government from
the control of those who now seek to-
divert 1t from its true and original .pur-
poses. The address will probably be
short, in order to reach more surely the
popular mind, and thus secure an, at
,tentiYe hearing, t.aE !H

THE OUTRAGE UPON NEW JERSEY.

Hon. John P. Stockton was elected
a Senator of the United States, by the
Legislature of New Jersey, at its ses-
sion of last year. The two houses of
the Legislature met in joint ntconventiOn,
and under the Constitution of New
Jersey, adopted rule requiring only
plurality of the votes cast to effect the
election of a Senator Mr.. Stockton re-
ceived a large plurality of the votes
cast, and had considerable majority
over the Republican" candidate. Mr..
Wall, another Democrat, received a
portion of the Democratic vote, and
thus Mr.. Stockton, whilst he had ma
jority over each of his opponents, did
not have a majority over both of them.
But, under the plurality rule, which
the convention adopted, and which is
allowable under the Constitution of
New Jersey, Mr.. Stockton was declared
to be elected and was given his creden-
tials accordingly. When Congress as
sembled in December last, Mr.. Stock
ton took his seat in the Senate, no one
in that body demurring. Some of the
New Jersey Republicans" however,
concluded that they would contest his
seat, and went TO Washington for that
purpose. The case went before the Ju-
dietary Committee Of the Senate, of
which Mr.. Trumbull, of Illinois, is
chairman, and which composed almost
wholly of Republicans" This Com
mittee gave the case a thorough inves-
tigati0n and reported unanimously in
favor of Mr. Stockton's right to hjsseat.
Until the veto of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau Bill developed the fact that the
Radicals had not therequisitetwo-thirds
in the Senate to enable them to pass
their measures over the Presidents We
to, nobody dreamed that the Senate
would not, as usual, confirm the report
of the committee. But the necessity
of the Radicals at once arrayed them

SOMETHING WRONG.

Senator Trumbull, Of Illinois, Sena-
tor Lane, of Kansas, and some eight
other Radical Senators, declared in
speeches made in the L. :. Senate that
Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, re-
Gently ousted FROM his seat in that body,
was duly and lawfully elected q Sena-
tor of the United States. These Sena-
tors also voted for the resolution decIa-
ring him entitled to his seat. which
resolution was acknowledgements by
the Judiciary Committee of the Sem
ate, composed almost wholly of "Re-
publicans." Now, then, here is a State
deprived of its lawfully chosen repre-
sentative in the {. ;. Senate, and ac-
cording to Mr.. Trumbull, Mr.. Lane and
their fellow Republicans" who think
as they do, that State is made thus to
suffer, most unlawfully and unright-
e0us!y. We address ourselves to men
in the Republican" party who claim
to he honest, when we ask, is there not
something wrong in your party, when
your ablest men, even among the Rad
icais, pronounce a man fairly and le-
gally elected and yet your politicians
oust him in order to make room for
one of their own sort? ? DO you endorse
this kind of political brigandage? a
man who would rob a State of her
rights, or purloin seat in the U. 5.
Senate to give it to one of his friends,
would certainly not hesitate to steal a
chicken, or clean out a bankers safe.
Now, isn't there something owrong in
the party of great moral ideas?"

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

SENATE.--A resolution was adopted
directing the Secretary of the Senate to
communicate to the Governor of New
Jersey the Senate resolution in regard
to the seat held by Mr.. Stockton. Mr.
Poland announced the death of Senator
FOOte, Of Vermont, and offered a resO-
luton, which was agreed to, that the
Senate attend the funeral and wear a
badge of mourning for the remainder
of the session. The Senate then took
a recess until one o'clock, when it at
tended the funeral of Senator FOOte.-
The Senate accompanied the remains
to the depot, and afterwards returned
to its chamber. \ motion was agreed
to that when the Senate adjourn it be
to meet on Monday next. The Senate
then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE. ES.-The
Secretary Of the Senate communicated
to the House the Senate resolutions on
the death Of Senator Foote. of Yer
mont. Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, offer
ed a series of resolutions expressive OF
the respect of the House for the MEM
ory of the deceased Senator. They
were unanimously adopted. Mr.. Stev-
ensmOved that when the House adjourn

the motion was agreed to. At one o.
clock the House proceeded in body
to the Senate Chamber, where the fun
eral ceremonies were performed. At
their conclusion the House returned to

ed it adjourned until Monday.

against that report and the right of Mr..
Stockton to his seat. In vain did Mr..
Trumbull, (who, by the way, is the au-
thor of the Freedmen's Bureau and
Civil Rights bills, but who is also law
yer and seems to have some honor left
appeal to his fellow Radicals to stand
by law and right. In vain did Lane,
of Kansas, (another radical) utter his
belief that Mr.. Stockton was duly and
lawfully elected. The tyrant of the
Senate, ,theunscrupulous Sumner, crack
ed his whip over the heads of his slaves,
who dared not act like men, but cow
crawIed behind him and crept
in his Shiny track. Morrill,, of Maine,
eternal shame to his 0ry!-broke
his pair with a fellow Senator PROSTATE
upon bed of sickness, and Stewart, of
Nevada, who had expressed his belief
that Mr.. Stockton was entitled to his
seat and had once given his vote in fa-
vOr of the report of the committee,
skunk out of the chamber, like a dog,
not daring to meet the question. Thus
was Mr. St0plztOn dpnriypd of his Saaf
in the L. S. Senate, and the state of New
Jersey outraged in one of her most sa-
cred privileges. Let the "Republican"
party settle this question among them
for, more than one third of their
in the &. S. Senate de-
clared Mr.. Stockton entitled to his seat,
whilst the remainder were engaged in
voting him out of it.

EMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CoWMITTEE RooMs,
HARRISBURG, March o. 1866.
To TIE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA:
A civic contest, laden with grave re-
suits, has just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of
the State have announced their plat
forms and presented to you their can
didates.
The Democracy distinctly avow
their purpose to restore the Union and
to maintain the superiority Of the
white man.
Their opponents refuse to restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the
policy Of the President, and again at
tempt to deceive you in regard tonegro
suffrage.
The restoration of the Union is anis-
sue embracing and overshadowing all
others.
If it be postponed, and agitation con-
tinued, you will deny that the war was
"a war for the Union;" you will shake
your form of Government to its very
base, jeopardize the security of your
National debt, incur the hazard of fl
nancial revulsion, fetter the develop
ment of your industrial resources,
make desert of the fairest portion of
the Republic and aid in elevating the
negro at the expense of the white men.
The period of reaction after great ma
tional exertion is oftener fatal to free
institutions than the severest throes Of
civil warfare, and radical disunionists
seize that hour to consolidate your Gov
ernment by amending the Constitution
and to perpetuate their power through
the political equality of the negro.
Prolonged agitation orprompt resto-
ration are the alternatives presented:
MEN OF THE KEYSTONE:
Look back upon your history, and in
the light of that retrospect determine
whether you will be led to your ruin
by a reckless disturber of the peace of
your Commonwealth, or will you fol-
low the President by the paths of the
Constitution to the haven of peace. or
der and security.
The Democracy present to you, with
pride. their candidate for Governor:
q Pennsylvania by birth; of revolu-
tionary family; pure, honest, capable;
possessed of large experience, and gift
ed with the rarest qualities of the head
and of the heart, no man need blush to
follow where HESTER CLYMER leads
the way.
DEMOCRATS or PENNSYLNANIA:
ALL Is WELL; YOUR CANDIDATE
WILDE SUSTAINED; THRILLING PER-
sONALITIEs GIVE WAY BEFORE THE
ONWARD MARCH OF GREAT PRINCE
PIES. BE ASSURED OF SUCCESS, AND

C0SNESTECTT ELECTION!
Great Democratic Gains!

The election in Connecticut on Mon
day last, shows Democratic gain of
upwards OF 10000 votes since last year,
when Buckingham, Rep, had IL, ,035
majority over Seymour, Dem. This
year Hawley, Rep, has only about 200
majority English, Dem. The Dem
Ocrats also gain some I, or , Senators
andsome 30 representatives, and all this
in the face of the most desperate efforts
on the part Of their opponents, who re-
sorted to open bribery and bought up
voters at 50 much per head. Think of
it! \ gain of 10000 in one year, in a
little New England State! What can
