and II 1t was garbled, there have been MANY
chances Of Mr.. Lyle's having said 80 before
He now denies it, as last card, when II is too
late for us TO bring other witnesses to sub
stantiate our report. II is too late for any
such denial. The time has gone by In
silence, and no one who heard it has ventured
to question its truth. Let the people think
Of it. All the Republicans are "radical ras
calls, and the injured Lyle was elected last
year. If any of our people wish to lick the
hand that smites them, to return good for
evil, and to tamely accept insult and outrage,
let them vote for this arrogant politician, who
calls them "Cheats" and "rascals." Denial
is useless. The report of Mr.. Lyle's speech,
as published by US, is correct in every respect.
Another Democratic Rebellion Threat
ened.
AN article in late number of the Pittsburg
Post, the leading Democratic journal of West
ern Pennsylvania, published by James P.
Barr, late Surveyor of this State,
recommends Andrew Johnson to employ the
army of the United States to ''assert his rights
and put aside Congress-" and promises him
that "he Democracy wiH be found faithful, as
they were in the days of Jackson, and DW stand
by the President" etc. After referring to jack
sons answer to the Bank men, when they
threatened rebellion, this article, absurdly
placing Congress in an attitude similar to
theirs, proceeds as follows:-
"If President johnson will act up to the
moral courage and firmness of the Patriot of
the Hermitage, the country will be united, the
ment will fall to the ground by the power ana
will of the Executive, who by the Constitution
is clothed with the calling out of tho army and
navy to defend the nation, and should the Pre-
sident allow himself to be insulted by an G6or.
tue Con greSs, and the dignity of the people set
at naught, then indeed does he deserve the
punishment which q vlndictlve opposlJlon
him. The people, who are the power IN tne
their President to be dlsgraced by a fana-
tical, black partisan spirit. sooner than TINS
the commission under which, aud from which.
he derives his power and by virtue OF This
he is made Commander ln-Chlet OF the army
and navy, and by this commission, which
he is sworn to observe and obey,
let him exhibit to the world that he Wtl be Pre-
tves should take blood TO sprinkle Cbngre SSon0L
seats, TO remain where the people placed him,
and like Jackson, with the people at his back,
he can hang each man of them Grouad the pillars
Of The Capitol. Let the President assert his rights
and pat aside Congress- and let him grant the
people their rights under the Constitution,
which he is bound to do, and let him assert all
the rights under ana by winch he hOluS power,
by whatever measure II is for the interest of our
Whole country for him to adopt. The Democracy
1CiH be Jou dJattIfUL as they were in the days of
Jackson, and will stand by the President. = =
Now let him crown it by clearing out from
place his enemies who are in power to betray
over the graves of destructive fanatical knaves,
dupes, and charlatans
This advice to Mr.. Johnson accords with the
spirit that inspired the Rebellion and that now
animates the unrepentent ex-Rebels and their
friends, the Democrats of the North, and is
in keeping with Governor Swann's course in
organizing his State militia under the COM
mand of men who fought in the Rebel army.
Should the Democrats succeed tomorrow in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, we should soon find
all the Democratic journals advising the Pre-
sident to disperse Congress at the point of
the bayOnet, to disregard the Reconstruction
laws, and to open the doors of the Capitol to
members of Congress chosen by the red
handed Rebels of the South, and to the few
Democrats elected in the North. The plan
toreshadowed, not long since, in the celebrated
Ledger despatch, may yet be put into execu-
ton. Johnson is capable of any desperate
act, lacking only the requisite courage; and
the success of his friends in the great central
States of the North might furnish him
with this. In 1860, the success of the
Republicans caused a Rebellion. In
1867, the success of the Democrats
might cause another, by encouraging them
and their Southern allies to attempt the COM
pletiOn of the original revolt. There is no
doubt that Democratic victories in a few of the
principal Northern States would encourage
Andrew Johnson to acts of greater violence
than he has yet committed, and it is not i'm
probable that he would employ force against
the lawful and legal representatives of the
people. What would be the consequence
of such an act, we need not now attempt to
show. The reader can readily foresee what
would ensue, and how the conflict thus pro-
vOked would result. But let us prevent the
possibility of such direful occurrence, by the
potent but peaceful means of the ballot to-
morrow. Let Pennsylvania do her duty with
the ballot tomorrow, and Andrew Johnson
will not dare resort to the bullet, and the
! country will be spared a second bloody war,
such as the traitorOus writer in the Pittsburg
Post advises his friend the President to inaugu-
rate.
