those inalienable rights anon which

This explains the wondrous affection Of

for the United States, and the commits
Grafton expressed by KAIsAB, CzAH
and QUEEN at the death Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. He was the incarnation OF
the denial Of the right Of eleven States
to govern themselves, when they con-
tinually held out the olive-branch, as
they had at the beginning sought peace,
and offered q close alliance, amicable
intercourse and commercial friendship
He had struck down the right OF peaceful
revolution, the sovereignty Of the Amer

Austria, the tyrant of Italy.
Rebellion! Treason do those who
now howl like wolves for the blood of the
best and bravest of the South, imagine
that they can, by the constant repetition
Of these words, dictate what shall be the
verdict of history and the Judgment Of
posterity? There was no wal against
the United States. There was an unpro-
voked war waged by the Northern States
against the Southern. There was no
rebellion, but a peaceful withdrawal Of
eleven States from q Union, because it
was denied to be a Union of States, and
because the denial was a lie. There was
the assertion and exercise of a right, lille
gally prevented by force; on one side the
exercise of q reserved, valid, demon
strsble right, for ample cause on the
other, a determination to s~nnihilate that
right, and radically to change, by force,
the nature of the Constitution. Not we
were the criminals, but those who have
succee1ed. We submit to force. We
accept the government imposed on US ;
but we laugh to scorn the idea that we
were traitors or rebels and for us,
whose President Mr.. DAVIS was, he will
be, when the North shall have earned
eternal infamy by Staying him, a martyr
and hero. No Southern mar will dis.
parage him, now that it is sought, in
him, to immediate and behead the princi.
pie of State Sovereignty. To call the
solemn act of eleven States treason, and
to pretend that Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia rsGeRed
against Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon
and Kansas and hat New England
which threatened to secede on account
of the war with Great Britain, will fail
to justify either the extra-judicial or Judi
cial assassination of the Southern leader,
out Of an ignoble revenge.

Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1867-07-25

We this week re publish the pre-
amble and resolutions adopted BY the
Democratic Return Judges at the late
County Convention, in order that all
may read aud fully understand them,
viz;
WHEurAs, The Vigilance Committees in some
81 the boruughs and townships arc IN the habit Of
transmitting their election returns BY mail or pr-
yaic hands 10 the Chairman Of the County Com
mitiee and oiherf, without any notice or power 10
enter, act or vote in the Convention for those dis
tricts, thus leaving them without a voice ia that
body; large portion of those holding the election
also fail 10 transmit the st Of voters ivcry essen
tall with their return therefore,
Rssoirsd, That hereafter Il shan be the duty Of
every Vigilance Committee transmitting their
returns IN the manner indicated, 10 depute some
active and known Democrat TO enter the County
Convention and act for them aud their district
and that list Of the names OF the voters must In
every ease accompany the return.
Resolrei, That hereafter, should any district
fail 70 be represented as above Indicated OF ne
glcot to return list Of the names Of the voters II
shall be sufficient cause for the Convention 10
exclude and refuse to receive and count the votes
Of said district 20 offending.
Rssolrcf, That the Chairman Of the County
Committee Is hereby authorized to publish this
preamble and resolutions along with the "Rulcs
and Regulations; /" and should the same be adopt
ed BY the Return Judges at the next regular meet
/ ing, they shall stand and remain as portion Of
the "Rules and Regnlations' until changed OF
abolished
The cause of their adoption is very
plainly stated in the preamble, and
needs but little explanation at our
hands.
The charge was made in the Con-
vention that in some Of the districts q
number Of Republicans had voted at
our Primary Election, but no evidence
to that effect was or could be produced
in time for the action OF the Conven-
ton, from the fact that no list OF
voters had been returned. This list
will always contain the evidence, and
the only thing for the Convention TO
settle, if such were the fact, would be
to learn who they voted for and count
them out, in the same manner that
fraudulent votes are excluded by
Courts. With a list of the names OF
all those that voted, and Return
Judge from every district, all the
evils and good qualities Of the system
can be investigated and properly
adjusted.
