Don't Do It.

When one who declared that Lncoln's cleo
ton provoked and justified secession and disu-
Mon, asks You to sign a political call, don't do
it
When one who wanted to coax traitors to de-
sist from firing on the nag, Selling the forresses
and robbing the arsenals of your country by
kicking the New England States out of the Union
and agreeing that the shareholders might take
their human chattles into every State and plant
their t" institution " in every Territory of the
Union, asks you to unite with him in a political
movement, don't do it
When one who declared the war for the Union
unjust, and proclaimed on the streets that the
and their homes, asks you to unite with him in
an avowal of political sentiment and purpose,
don't do it,
When one who steadfastly insisted throughout
our great struggle that the Rebels were always
victorious, that our arms made no progress, that
that the Union could only be restored by first
giving it up rs lost and then asking the victors
to let as creep in at the back door of their tri-
umphant Confederacy now urges you to SYM
pathize and fraternize with him in denouncing
as traitors and disunionists the foremost champ
ions of Liberty and Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable," dont you do it (!
When one who denou need and raved at the
emancipation policy Of President Lincoln as un-
constitutional and suicidal, who declared that ii
had united the South and divided the North,'
that we could never succeed till it was repudiated,
that if Lincoln was reelected the Union would
never be restored, now wants you to play second
to his first, don't you begin to do it
Saieth the great Apostle to the Gentiles, " Be
not deceived. Evil communications corrupt good
manners" When all manner of Copperheads
and secession sympathizers ask you to train in
their company, tell them you'll see 'em blest
first.

Endorsement of the President.

We take the following sensible and pertinent
remarks from the Easton Gazette of Saturday
last, and commend them 10 every Unionist
" The Union men of the county stand by Pres
ident johnson now, as they have in the past
They nominated him, they elected him, and
kthey now sustain him in his Administration. -
They do not select something that he has done
here or there and make great flourish over it,
while the main features of his administration are
left unnoticed for that would be sectional, but
they take him as their President and the Presi-
dent of the United States. They endorse his ad-
ministration from the beginning"
And referring to meeting called by the Cop
perheads of Talbot, the Gazette propounds, for
their especial benefit, the following questions
g Do they endorse his policy in compelling the
the Rebel States to repudiate their war debt p
Do they endorse his policy in compelling the
Rebel States TO adopt the Constitutional amend
ment abolishing slavery Do they endorse his
policy in the trial and execution of the murder
ers of Federal soldiers by military commissions |?
These are points of far more interest than the
Freedmen's Bureau bill which has just been yea
toed. We heard of no meeting called by these
men to sustain President johnson when he de-
manded that the rebellious States should adopt
his policy in repudiating their debt and abolish
ing slavery. The people have no confidence in
such converts. Let the Union men of this coun-
~ stand by their President as they have done in
the past, but do it within their own party Do
not allow yourselves to be won over by soft
words to join in with the Rebel party. They
only want you in order that they may ride into
power over your heads, after you have faced all
the difficulties of the rebebellion and they have
in spirit been yourcountry' 5 destroyer tits not
| necessary for the Union party TO make great
flourish of trumpets in supporting the President
They have shown it by their actions. 1t is only
those who have been out-andEout enemies OF
President Johnson and sympathizers with the re-
bellion, or those that desire to affiliate with them
that need attend this meeting Those that have
cheered JEFF. Davis, denounced President John
son as a drunkard and as a robber will have 10
pass great many resolutions before they can
palm off their hollow professions of loyalty upon
the public. Notwithstanding all this pretence oil
friendship for President Johnson, some of the
leaders of the opposite party in this county, since
his speech on the 22d, have pronounced him as
being under the influence Of liquor on that oeca-
sion. What say you, Union men, to this kind
of friendship for our President

THE FENIAN MOVEMENT The excitement about
the "Fenians' is evidently on the increase, and
from the warlke preparations and speeches GO
ing on all over the country, we are led to believe
that they mean business. In almost every large
City in the North large gatherings of the "broth-
erhood" have been held within the last few days,
at which large sums of money have been sub
scribed and numbers of recruits Obtained
What they design doing, if anything, it is hard
to tell. Some think that an attack upon Canada
is intended, while others suppose that "a feet
will be fitted ont in this country TO sail direct
for Ireland, and there cooperate with the broth
erhood there in throwing off the English yoke.
The particular cause for the increased excitement
now is the suspension by the British Government
of the privilege of the writ Of habeas corpus in
Ireland. Who knows but that ere long the
Reconstruction" or some other Congressional
COMMITTEE may have before them the custom of
admitting the Representatives from the State of
Ireland?

now they wished to 90 to Congress In Washing'
ton, and loyal men should be opposed to the ad.
mission of these Rebels and traitors and he would
stand to it tonight, and he would stand to 1t
hereafter, sink or swim. None should be admit
ted as representatives from the Southern States
until they had been converted. If disoya men
were to be admitted to Congress- and to rule the
country by the ballot-box, men who had commit
ted treason and imbrued their hands in the blood
of our brave boys he asked where WAS his country!
Every loyal heart would be true, to the nag
and none but loyal men should be admitted ~
political power, and Union men should stand
firm, as they had stood before, and oppose their
admission to political power Applause 81
REMARKS OF MR. DoUGuERTY.
Mr.. Dougherty said that he would have prefer.
red to remain silent, but AS he bad been called
upon in a general way courtesy required him to
make few remarks. Mr.. Dougherty said that
this glorious Union had been compared to part
nership, and that persons said the Union was
broken up, and that when any of the members OF
the partnership got dissatisfied they had right
to withdraw from the partnership. Some the
States acted upon this-ten or twelve OF then
had gone out, had acted on this principle-noW
they apply for admission TO the firm. We have
remained in the old firm, and are now in it : and
we will not admit representatives from them ex
cept upon our own terms. Applause. During thu
war my bowels yearned Tor them yea, almost
threw up for them. Laughter and applause.
| Mr.. Dougherty said he had heard that persons il
| Virginia and in some of the other States were
bealing their swords into ploughshares and thei
knives and spears into pruning hooks.
| Mr.. Dougherty said he thought the Southern
| States had never been out of the Union. They
did not get out by fighting, bot as soon as the,
| tried to get out we whipped them back. Laugh
ter and applause. What had the veto to do will
| the Union question 1t had nothing to do Will
the question of the perpetuity of the Union.-
The Southern States had proposed to go out o
the Union, and now they wished to be admitted
through their representatives into Congress, bu
we thought they ought to go through a proba
tionary state if they came back now they came
back as foreigners and ought not to be trusted
| for five years. SO their loyalty might be tested.
After expressing hopes for peace, Union ant
prosperity, Mr.. Dougherty concluded his address
| and on motion the meeting adjourned.

MERIToRIoUs last week recorded the fact
that Mr.. Edward Chance, long and favorably
known as local conductor on the N. G. R. R.,
had been killed near Phoenix, while in the dis
charge of his duty. We have since learned that
the citizens on the line of the road are generous
ly contributing to raise a fund for the relief OF
Mr.. Chances family, and that 81, 800 have al
ready been subscribed. This is certainly very
commendable action, and speaks well for the
people of our county.
