ThRddeus stevens and the q. S.
ScnatOrship.

A number of prominent Union citizens
of Lancaster county having addressed
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens ssking him to
allow his name TO be used for u. s. Sena,
tor, he answered with the dignity and
candor which ever characterize him in all
things pertaining to himself His remark
that candidates for Senator should "be
discoverabIe without notice from himself
or recognized agent" is a pointed and
Just condemnation of the degradation to
which the high Office Of Senator has been
brought by petty aspirants. We subjoin
Mr. Stevens letter:
WASHINGTON, July, 13, 1866.
4. z. Roberts, B. ChampneyS and others;
GENTLEMEN | have received your
kind letter asking me to allow the use OF
my name as candidate for United States
Senator.
| believe that Office, (when tendered) is
not to be declined without some strong
reason. But ii has always been my opin-
ion that no man should make himself a
candidate for it, or TO take any part in the
canvass. A person fit for that position
ought to be diseoverable without notice
from himself or recognized agent. This,
however, IL matter OF taste about which
there il difference of opinion, and il not
intended "a criticism upon others, but
only to account for my own course.
Thanking You for yonr constant friend
ship, am your obedient servant, &c.

The Reading Convention.

The Reading convention has met and
adjourned. Hon. Richard Vaux, of
Philadelphia, was President and made a
speech. Hester Clymer also made a
speech, in which he invited the faithful
.tto cut down the miserable weeds of
secession and rebellion" And Mr.. ely
mer also said that although perhaps mis-
taken, he had always octed from honest
iDtentions.
Montgomery Blair, formerly of Mr..
Lincoln's cabinet, aud who went over to
the Democracy more than a year ago,
also made a speech. Mr.. Blair said it
had been his misfortune to differ with The
Democratic party, but it had always been
composed of honest men. (For instance,
Jacob Thompson, Secretary Interior, we'll
known in connection with the six million
swiudle under Buchanan He also said
that. "should the Radicals carry the cleo
tions-in October, the result would be the
establishment of two Presidents and two
Congresses, for the hndlcal sectlohaI
majority would then Immediately impeach
President johnson and turn him out,
while on the other hand the Democratic
members of Congress would unite with
The regularly elected members from
the South" lie also warned his hear
ers that they were on the eve of an
other civil war, the battle fields Of
which would be il the North, while the
South world remain united lie dis
claimed speaking for any sensational pur-
pose but earnestly warned the people OF
the North against the evil effects of tam
periEg with the fundamental law OF the
land.

Nsr. Beecher On Ene EUROPEAN
war.

Sunday morning last, Mr. Beecher
made an allusion to the present war in
Europe, in which he said
1.-TWO thieves go out to ROB a
roost; when they have done their
work they quarrel over the hens rob
bed. In the present struggle he went
with the Italians, and next to them with
the Austrian government. He thought
the PrIssian government was least deserv-
iug OF sympathy, though he sympathized
with the people Of Prussia more than with
those of Austria. He said it was exceed
ingly disagreeable to have to agree with
all three az once. Though this war had
for It's stated object but the partition of
small territory, its ultimate result would
be truly great. The advancement of the
cause of human liberty, for the last fifty
years, in Europe, had been inevitably
verging toward this, and more particular
ly during the last twenty five years. The
Russian peasantry were being freed from
their bondage. La France, though under
the heel of despotism, the people had more
true liberty than they ever before en- Dyed.
Before the French Revolution every law,
from the great laws CT the realm TO the
smallest ones Of a village, was wholesale
conspiracy to keep the people under

the claws OF a voracious spider, bouud
round and round, and fettered until it al
most seemed they had almost lost their
original nature. But they finally rose IN
one mighty effort and burst their bonds
asunder. Then came the desperate war
of Napoleou, then the intervening period,
and now the laws are wholesome to what
they oGce were. England was uoU ia the
most rotten condition of any portion Of
Europe. In that country only every sixth
man could vote. What would We think
here if one man voted and six could not
Her laws in regard 10 the possession Of
land were outrageous, when those who
possessed property Of any description were
in large minority. He hoped these
things would De changed by judicious
laws, but if not, mighty revolution would
cume and sweep away such tiimsy 5arri-
cades In conclusion he said he saw but
one issue to the present struggle in Europe
the moral and intellectual elevation Of
the common people"

Tennessee.

On the 10Th, Governor Brownlow sent
the following dispatch to Hon. John W
FoIpey: Nashville, July 10, 1866.-To
Hon. j. W. Forney, Secretary of the
United States Senate We have fought
the battle and won it. We have ratified
the Constitutional amendment in the
House forty votes for it, eleven
against 1.-TWO of Andrew Johnson's
tools refusing to vote. Give my respects
to the dead dog of the White House" :"
By vote of f25 to y, the House, upon
the receipt of the news, passed a joint
resolution for the admission of the Ten
nessee members. The Senate has most
probably taken like action ere this. While
we rejoice over the action of Tennessee,
We regret that Governor Brownlow has
descended to the level of tie Presidents 8
22d of february speech. If the Presi-
dent had no mere respect for himself or
his high office than to use low epithets IN
public speech, Governor BroVnloW
should have more respect for himself and
his high Office than to follow in the foot
steps of the President

The Philadelphia Convention
---ItS Purposes.

We warn all true Union men against
the Philadelphia Convention called by
Randall, Cowan, and others. 1t is a
cheat, swindle, and the Union Republi-
can that puts his confidence in it will be
betrayed. Fernando Wood is one of the
delegates to it. It is endorsed by the
Copperhead conclave recently assembled
at Reading. 1t ls supported by all the
most notorious Copperheads Of the war.
The President supports it, and such men
as Fallandigham, Jesse D. Bright, expelled
from the U. S. Senate, and j. G. Faux
ner, minister to France under Buchanan,
and arrested upon his return from that
country in 1861 for completely with the
rebels, are fastening to him for consulta-
ton. But if any Union man expects good
from that Convention, let him ponder
over the words of Montgomery Blair
given in another part of this paper. We
lay down. no programme for the conven-
tionists, but simply take them at their word.
Should Andrew johnson be impeached,
though the act might be unwise, it would
be neither revolutionary nor unlawful
But it is totally gratui'ous for Mr.. Blair
to speak for the Republican party. His
declaration of the intention of himself
ond friends is OF the other hand authori-
tative and worthy of acceptation. We
may therefore accept it as true that this
Copperhead-J Johnson party are willing to
lnaugurate a revolution. If they at any
time think it will be profitable to attempt
a rejection of Congress as at present
authorized. and recognition of rebel
representatives from the South and Cop
perhead representatives from the North
as the lawful Congress of the country
let them try it.

Manly letter frSnl GOV. Den
EafSOB.

Ex Postmaster General Dennison is In
receipt of large numbers of letters from
all parts of the West congratulating him
upon his withdrawal from the Cabinet
A distinguished citizen of Ohio, in note
received to-day, says: 81 was fearful that
you had too loug delayed your resignation"
To which the Governor replied as follows ::
WASHINGTON, D. c., July I9, 1866.
My DEAR SIR Possibly it would have
been better for me, personally, to have
resigned some months ago, but my sense
of duty to other parties in the country
would not permit me to do so.
While almost certain for several months
that l could not long remain in the Cabi-
net, because of the difference of opinion
on public questions between the President
aud myself, [ determined, in view of all
the circumstances surrounding the pO!it-
icsl situation, not to withdraw as long as
there was ray of hope for reconciliation
between the President and our friends in
Congress. Not until the Presidents op-
position to the Constitutional amendment,
and his approval of the Philadel phia con-
veDtion were manifest, did feel that all
hope of reconciliation had failed. Then
| acted promptly, and would have resign
ed, as / have, if had known that was
to leave alone.
am satisfied of having resigned at the
right time, and with the right spirit
Whatever may be the consequences to me
personally, have done my whole duty to
our country, and | return to my home
with quite as much satisfaction as | had
in coming here.
My administration Of the Postofice De
partment has been as successful as | could
reasonably expect, and am content.
Truly yours, W. DENNISON.

Gen. SheTIuan's Prediction.

On Friday last, Gen. ". T. Sherman,
while attending the commencement cxer-
cises at Yale College, made a speech TO
the students, which occasions considerable
criticism from the conservative Journals
What specially provokes them is this:
Gas you 60 out into lite you will find
opportunities enough to stand up for the
old fag-you may even have a chance to
fght for it, | tell you that before you
pass from the stage there will be fl lighting,
in comparison with which mine will seem
slight, and | have seen enough"
This is Gen. SLerman's view Of the sit
nation. We take it he has just the same
right as all uther citizens TO his judgment
of public affairs, and at suitable times to
express it. His Judgment IS certainly
concurred in by lnulttudes Of though tful
men in all parts of the country. The tear
is widely entertained that the President ;
Policy, as developed in his Veto Messages,
aud his manner of giving it effect, as In
dieated in his 22d February speech, tend
in that direction. When the Republican
leaders. who stood by the flag, are de-
nounced as traitors, in the same odious
sense as the men who fired on the fag,
and the duty of putting them Gown by
the exercise of force is openly proclaimed
what else can sensible people do other
than feel apprehensions for the future?

WHAT HISTORY WILL SAY.-A writer
of d sketch of Major General Meade in
the United Service Aaqaziae, TO indicate
the importance of the battle of Gettys-
burg, says the "Rollins Outlines of a
few centuries hence viii dispose Of our
great contest somewhat after this fashion !:
"Buchauan was succeeded by lincoln,
a wise and patriot ruler. Daring hls
Presidency the Southern States revolted.
After several indecisive actions, Lee, the
insurgent leader, was defeated at Gettys-
burg by Meade, who commanded the
principa! force of the Republic; the
Southern territory vas oyerrun by numer-
Gus armies it's ports were ettectuaiiy
blockaded the slaves were declared free,
and many of them enlisted in the national
armies and finally Richmond, the capital
of the revolted States, was captured by
Grant, the COMMANDMENTS chief of the
United States armies aud the insurgents
were compelled to lay down their arms
Lincoln was e-elected President, but WAS
afterwards assassinated by an obscure
actor"

AFTER considerable fighting, IN which
Austria was most emphatically whipped,
the contending European powers have
entered into negotiations looking toward
the establishing of an armistice, through
which peaceful solution of the questions
at issue may be arrived at. Late advices
tend to the belief that the negotiations
will be unsuccessful, and that the war will
20 on. If SO, it is not improbable that
France and Russia may ultimately be
drawn iuto the quarrel.

A Reconstructed Southern GA
Gy.''

There is in the hands of Gen. Howard
certified statement of the following bar
barities inflicted by Eirginian upon a
young negro woman lately her slave
The young woman being stripped naked,
was thrown down before fire aud her
back scorched. The fire having scoreh-
ed the young woman's back sufficiently,
she was beaten with lashes with the
greatest fury. TIE lashipg over, pre-
paration was made of vinegar, cayenne
pepper aud oil, and applied as wash to
the back of the victim. Suck is the story
from the lips of Gen. Howard, in whose
hands is photograph of this abused wO-
man.

we may expect news now almost any
day from the fifth expedition which has
attempted to unite, by thread 1000
miles N length, the Old World with the
New. The shore end of the Atlantic
Cable was landed at Valentia Bay on the
7th, and if the Great Eastern sails at the
same rate Of speed on this voyage as she
did on the last, she ought to arrive at
Trinity Bay, supposing all to have gone
well, some day this week. There are
many reasons for confidence in the success 5
of the present effort; but repeated failures
have predisposed the public to gloom y
anticipations, and We shall probably never
again witness either the DARK disapooint-
ment which followed the first failure, or
the frantic exutation which succcede q
the illusory success of 1858. Our old
time excitement has given way to a settled
faith in the possible union of Europe and
America by an electric cable, aud deter
minatIon to effect that union, even if we
try and fail seventy times seven.

named Beveridge This Beveridge is a
hired tool Of Slonaker of Philadelphia,
who was nominated to the Senate By the

sGy- Col Frank Jordan, Chairman of
the Republican State Central Com mittee,
addressed letter to Gov. Curtin a few
days ago, inquiring why he did noS con
vene the Legislature of this State IN ex.ra
session, TO ratiiy the Constitutional Amend-
ments. The Governor replies that he has
not yet received assurances from the Gov
ernors of sufE cient of the States TO Tatiiy
the Amendments, that they intended 10
convene their Legislatures ; and until be
does receive such assurance, he does not
think it advisable to convene the Legisla-
ture of this State. L Is understood that
the Governors of Illinois, Missouri and
Maryland positively refuse to convene
their Legislatures, and it is pretty evident
that the Amendments cannot be ratified
until the usual time of the meeting of the
different Legislatures, if at all Lit would
therefore be folly for the Governor to con
vene our Legislature under the circum-
stances.
