Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1866-08-02

Qent johnson our heartfelt thanks Tor his
bold and steadfast determination to restore
the Union of our fathers sin its original
purity and we lure him by the mem
ory of the immortal Jackson, TO convince
the radical disunionists hy ,Oord and deed,
that ''the Federal Union must and shall
be preserved"
Z. ResOlUed, That we are opposed TO
negro suffrage, believing that the white
men of America are able to govern them
selves; without the aid of an inferior race,
and that we disapprove of the amend
ment to the Constitution lately proposed
by the so-called Congress, it being moth
ing but the offer of reward to the States
for granting negro suffrage, and a threat
of punishment in case Of refusal.
s. Res0lced, That the soldiers who
fought for the Union and the Constitution
deserves well of the country, and that
the repeated declaration of the Radicals
that the rebellion could not have been
subdued without the aid of black troops
is gross and wanton insult to the brave
and gallant white soldiers Of America,
which they will know how TO present at
the polls.
9. ReSolccd, That the sympathies of
the Democracy are now as they have ever
been with our brave brothers of the En-
erald Isle, in their gallant efforts to free
their native land from the foul tyranny of
England, and that we owe nothing 10 the
English government which should prevent
us from repeating or modifying the neu-
trality laws, so as to give the Irish fair
play, which is all they ask.
10. Resolred, That we endorse and re-
affirm the platform of principles adopted
| by the Democratic State Convention at
| Harrisburg on the 5th of March last, and
we present with pride to the Democratic
and Conservative citizens of Pennsylva-
MIA our worthy candidate for Governor,
Hon. Hester Clymer. He answers in an
eminent degree the requirements Of jeff
erson he is honest, he is capable, and he
is faithful. The most malignant of his
political enemies can find no spot on his
| fair fame, and to the ISLANDERS and mis-
representations of radical disunionists,
answer that he is now as he has always
been, and under all circumstances, in fa-
vor of the Union Of our Fathers, a I'm
ion Of White Men.
IL. Resolred, That the tariff men of
Pennsylvania may see by the votes of
Senators Sumner and Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts, and Foster, of Connecticut; that
the professions of friendship for Pennsyl-
vania by the radicals of New England,
are as sincere as their professions of re-
! gard for the Union of the States.
II. Resodcd, That we approve of the
| call for a National Union Convention of
| all the States to meet in Philadelphia on
the 18th of August next, TO sustain the
| President in his patriotic policy of resto
ration, and we recommend the State Cen
| tral Committee TO take such action as
will best advance the purposes of the call.
At about half-past five the meetings
were adjourned, and the majority of the
trains, left for their homes. AS they ratified
along the direreing lines of railroads, the
| ''fying horses''-the Geary rowdies-
again sailed forth TO create disturbances.
| Bloody noses and knocking down of in
offensive men prevailed for a time in a
number of localities. 1t is said some of
| the rowdies entered the keystone House,
tore down Democratic handbills and
tramped an American flag under their
feet, as an evidence of their party hatred.
Still the meeting was great success, and
the occasion one that will be long remem
| bered by the conservative masses of Eas-
tern Pennsylvania.
