THE NEW PARTY IN PENNSYLVANIA
The Harrisburg Patriot and Union,
the State organ OF the Copperhoads, an-
nounces the formation of the new party
as follows
"ANornER CoNvENrIoN,--A call has
been made for Republican johnson
State Convention, to be held in Pitts
burgh, in July next, TO put in nomina.
ton third candidate for Governor,
Thousands of conservative Republicans
(or rather the Only Republicans) have
signed copies Of the call, endorsing and
approving the movement. The boys
In blue,' who fought for the Union, are
especially active in the movement.
"O1 course we would rather sec these
men supporting Mr., CIYMER, who aae
with President JOHNSON IN his restora-
ration policy but if 'oe haze 10 choose
between GEAEy-.thc candidate Of the dis
unionists--aad q true Republicans, gjve US
lie latter. By all mecas. Let us epdeayor
to have Governor who is Tor the Federal
Union, for the supremacy of the Con-
stitution, and who vii! not override the
laws and the rights Of the people"
This Harrisburg Copperhead does not
take the trouble to conceal chat the OBJ.
jeot of this organization is simply to elect
ulcster Clymer Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania. Nobody assumes that the third
candidate to be chosen can succeed, He
is simply. therefore put in the field to
defeat Goary; and the men who arc to
vote for and help him are the boys in
blue who fought Tor the Union, and who
have been from tho first attacked and
ridiculod by lliestcr Clymer in the Sen>
ate OF Pennsylvania. More bare-faced
efrontcry we have not seen since the
time when the men who denounced
Andrew Johnson as drunkard and n
usurper became his idolaters and his
champions Eester Clymer not only
refused TO allow Andrew Johnson q
chance TO speak for the country in the
Legislative chambers, but ne refused to
allow the soldiers to vote tor the Res
public for which they had fought. In
return for these delicate attentions he
now not only expects, but claims to have
the promise of Andrew Johnson's sup-
port, aud through his friends selects a
third candidate, who is to be the condi>
date OF tho soldiers, whose business it is
to get votes from the Republican Union
side, and thereby to secure Clymers
election.
We have as yet heard of no Republi.
can who will oppose JOHN w. GEAEY,
while we believe there are thousands
heretofore attached to the Democratic
party who will give him their earnest
support. Nominated for the double
reason that his private and political res
cord was most patriotic, and that his
military career has been unusually bril-
liant and striking, it would be little
curious 10 see Republicans helping to
defeat a man wko thus combines the
highest attributes OF qualifications and
deserving.
This new party is having rather in
auspicious start, AT Washington it is G
monster with two heads, one Of which is
an essential Copperhead, and the Other
a conservative head. Montgomery
Blair leads the Copperhead club, and
Ex-Governor Randall, Assistant Post
master General, leads the conservative
club. AS the twain are more eager fol
spoils than for votes, they have already
broken into bitter quarrel The Re
publicans are dropping away rom th'
Blair committee, because it is composed
mainly of recent enemies of the Govern
ment, while the Democrats are warned
off from the rival committee for the SAM
reason. 1t is not stated to which Of thu
contending houses at Washington the
third party in Pennsylvania belongs
but tits easy to predict that concorr
which is already poisoned at the toun
tam Of political power cannot be very
healthy in the quarters that look tt
Washington for example and for sup
port, - War Press.
