AT the Copper-J ohm son meeting on Mon
day night one Of the speakers became quite
eloquent over imaginary assassinations,
barn burnings, &c, that he pretended to
think would be brought about by this terri
bic impeachment business. He seemed to
have quite forgotten that this business OF
barn-burning and assassinating is entirely a
copperhead institution, that they have mo
nopolized it heretofore and that nobody in
this community has either talked or dream
ed Of fighting but themselves. He seemed
to be utterly .obliyious of that notorious
telegram about Capt Lyons and the three
companies of soldiers volunteering their
services to assist Andy johnson in resisting
the laws and oyerturning our government.
Ifthere IS drop of blood spilled in this
impeachment business it will be begun as
before by rebels resisting the laws. But VIC
counsel the gentleman to keep cool The
genuine rebels who dared to fight have been
so thoroughly whipped that they don't want
to try it again and the miserable towards
who fed to the mountains when they had
a chance to fight are not likely to risk their
worthless hides in any enterprise that
smells of gunpowder.

BEproRp Pa, Feb. 25.-TheIe is a great cS-
element az this place about the impeachment, and
several companies are being rapidly organized to
support the President.
Captain t. II. Lyons has already SO men on
his list and at least three companies can be ready
in IS hours,
How easy it is for some people to make
asses of themselves. They hav mt far to go.
Who the authors of the above despatch are
we do not know, nor is it likely that we ever
will, nor do we want to know. We have
good reason to suppose that they belong to
the pusillanimous reptiles who when drafted
fed broad cast over the country, built forti-
fcations in the Allegheny mountains and
fled at the first approach Of the officers
of the law, skunk away in caves, burned the
barns of enrolling officers and intimldated
provost marshals, verify anything but travel
forty miles South to join their rebel friends.
BAH such fellows talk about raising three
companies to sustain the President We
have negroes enough in Bedford county
who have seen service and been honorably
discharged who can whip division of such
fellows.
We cannot see the object of this dispatch
1t was an infamous lie, dragging in the name
of gentleman who has won honor in his
country service, for what purpose, we can
not say. Bedford was made famous on as
small amount of capital during the war as
any section of the country, and these miser-
able contemplate towards, seeing they can
do it cheaply are determined to keep up the
notcriety. The course Of this paper for two
years has been to allay political feeling and
prejudice, but these eowardly tricksters, who
know that the President openly and fragrant
ly violated the Constitution and the laws,
and readily admits that he did, are deter
mined to keep up the political dissensions Of
the country.

A FEW EXCITED CoPs here and there
Ga Bedford for instance) have been holding
meetings, Constitutional meetings, to sus-
tain AndyJohnson. II has been pertinently
suggested that Andy has got hold Of copy
of the Confederate Constitution and is try
ing to carry out its provisions; this seems
the more probable from the fact that no
warrant whatever can be found in cur Con
stitution for Andy $ pranks but on the con-
trary they are definitely and clearly forbid
den by the plain letter Of the Constitution
of 1889; besides the Cops profess 10 be well
acquainted with the Constitution under
which Andy takes shelter and everybody
knows that they are most familiar with the
late Confederate Constitution. We are in-
clined to think that this is the true solution
of the great constitutional controversy, the
Cops and Andy have meant the rebel Con
stitution, while we meant ours. No wonder
we couldn't agree.

Poor ANDY JoHNsoN's condition is a
pitable one indeed. After all his efforts to
serve the Copperhead party, it ungratefully
abandons him in the hour of his need. We
don't, as matter of course, mean the small
fry found in such places as Bedford. The
World the leading organ of the party has
formally notified him that he need expect
no aid from the party, that though they ac-
cept the Offices and eat his bread and butter
they will not engage to fight his battles for
him. Robt. j. Walker tells Andy friends,
who 20 to him for advice, that the country
needs peace and the man who obstructs the
execution of the laws should be hung upon
the, nearest tree Even Jerry Black who,
it was supposed would stoop to almost any
thing, is too cunning to acknowledge any re-
sponsibility, but asserts that Andy won't
follow his advice and declares that if he did
no would not make fool of himself as of.
ten he does.

GoLDis the political barometer ofthe coun-
try, showing with incest accuracy the gener-

Of alarm, falling with the one or rising with
the other. On the removal, or attempted
removal of Stanton the price of gold rose
several per cent. but as soon as it appeared
certain that Congress would go ahead with
impeachment it at once fell to It's old figures
and the tendency has ever since been down
ward This is probably one of the best in
dications of the belief, of those who have
greatest interest in the continued peace of
the country and the speedy restoration Of
the lately rebellious states, that the safest
and surest, if not the only, way, to security
and restoration is through the impeachment
and removal of the President The foolish
clamor of few skedaddlers about fighting

excite the contempt and derision of all sensi-
bic men, The work of impeachment goes

Our copperhead friends have certainly
got little mixed. They hold meetings to
sustain the President in our place while in
another they are petitioning him to resign.
Our cops here in Bedford held a meeting on
Monday night, at which they even tailed
of shouldering their muskets, THAT is the
furthest their courage will carry them in
this region) in defence of the President
On Tuesday the mails brought the news
that the cops in Washington were begging
him to resign. We don't know where ON,
cops get their cue, but il is evident some
body blundered.

In another column of this paper will be
found a telegram sent from this place on
the 25th ult, stating that Capt. Lyons was
raising a Company of men to support or
defend the President To the credit of
Capt. Lyons we are credibly informed that
he never dreamed Of any such foolish enter
prise nor did he know anything of the tele-
gram until it appeared in the Philadelphia
papers. 1t is an Infamous falsehood and is
supposed to have been manufactured from
the whole cloth by a couple of fellows who
never had patriotism enough to fight for
their country nor courage enough to fight
against it. They have had fool hardness
enough, though, to stamp themselves by
this act as devoid not only of patriotism but
also of truthfulness.

TRENTON, Feb. Ex-Governor Ward to
day sent TO the Senate the joint resolution
with drawing the consent of New Jersey to
the proposed constitutional amendment,
article IA, with his objections. He argues
theematter at length, and says the resolution
has no validity, and, the ratification having
already been made, no further action can be
taken by the State unless the matter be
again submitted by Congress. No time
was set by Congress for the ratification by
sufficient number of States, and, theforo,
New Jersey cannot avail herself OF any right
to withdraw because Of delay by other
States. The veto was read, and by the
