two thirds of both Houses concurring, That tlie following article be proposed to the Legislatures of the eoveral States as an amendment to the (institution of I he United States, which, when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, eba'l be valiiLai a part of the Constitution, namely: "Artiulk Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the Unied States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens oftho United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall mxke or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the I'uited States. Nor shall any State deptiva any pe'son of 1 lb, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person, within its juris dioti the equal protection of the laws. "Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the Several States according to their res pec Hive numbers, mntinc the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indian's not taxed; but whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of and Vice President, or for United States Representatives in Congress, executive and judicial officers, or the morabers of the Legislature thereof, is denied any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty one years of age, and citi sons of the United States, or in any way abridged, exoept for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the wholo number of malo citizens twenty one years of age in that State. "tectiun 3. Ne person shall be a Senator or Ra projontntive in Congress, elector of President and Vice President or hold any office, civil or military under the U. who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of unr State Legislature, or as an oteoutivo or judicial ollioer of any State, to support tho Constituting of the United Statea, sjiall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the eaemies thereof: but Congress may. by a vote of two thirds of oaoh llouae remove such disability.

"Section 4. The validity of tho public debt of the United States authorised by law, including dobta incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for serviod in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned, but neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurreotion or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the lo or emancipation of any slave, but all such debt, obligations, and claims shall be held illegal and void." THE MASS MEETINUXX Kail road Exoursion! All the railroads centering here will carry passengers to the mass meeting on the 22nd at half the rkqulau fare. Parties along the different routes will notify the ticket ngents at stations how many they expect to send. How the C'opperJobnlMta Propose to Car. ry Republican Consrreaalonal Districts.

It is a well established fact that the Copper johnsonists in this State give uplho general result; that is, they concede the election of Geary by a large majority. The most saga clous and best informed Copperheads in the the State have no longer any hope of electing Clymer. Ten days after Clymer' nomination his defeat was presaged in the manner his candidacy was received. Still his friends did hope that his cause might be helped by a judicious distribution of the Federal offices in this State. Cowan, the renegade, controlled this distribution, but he has so botched the work as to rpb the Democracy of all benefit from that source.

Every postal and revenue officer removed in Pennsylvania at Cowan's instance, has tended to increase the power and the strength of the Republican party, for the simple reason that the men appointed are utterly devoid of political influence never had any political power and in seven cases out of ten, can do no more than control their own votes. But this is not explaining how the Copperjohnsonists propose to carry the election of Republican Congres sional districts. We derive the facts for this explanation from the Dayton (O.) Journal, the editor of which boldly declares that the President and Mr. Seward are devoting the secret service fund to this object. Congress, as the reader knows, makes a yearly appro priation of money to be used by the President for conducting delicate diplomatic affairs, de riving information, for the disbursement of which the President is not required to ac count to any Auditor.

It is this fund that the President has placed at the disposal of his satellites in Ohio; a fund which we have every reason to believe is also in circulation in Pennsylvania. The ZanesviUe0.) Cornier, corroborating this charge of using the secret service fund, challenges denial that Andy Johnson is sending FIVE THOUSAND D0LLAR3 of the secret service fund into each of the Ohio districts for the ptfrpose of securing the election of Copperhead Con gressmen. In Pennsylvania, Flanagen's Com mittee is fleecing every office holder under the Federal Government. While Flanegen is thus making his collections, there is no doubt that the President is disbursing a por tion of the secret service fund in Congrcs Bioual districts in this State, where the in fat nation of those who want his offices has induced Andy Johnson to believe he can find vindication for his crimes byelecting Copper head Congressmen. The grand object of the President's western tour is unveiled by this exposure.

Ho and Seward left Washing ton imbued with tho idea. that their pres enco among tho people would influence proper action at the polls in favor of my policy. They calculated, doubtless, that to distribute secret service fund in per son would be more effective than leaving it to the disbursement of such financiers as Flanagen. And in this they are correct, so far us getting the fund equitably distribu ted; but misapplied public money won't aid Andy Johnson's cause and save candidates representing his faithlessness from defeat in Pennsylvania. Why was Hiestru Ci.ymku nominated for Governor Jkcanse his record harmonizes with Copperhead sympathy for treason.

Why will Hiester Clymer be befeated for liovernorr BfCAUSE every man who fought for the GOVKHNMANT ON THE BATTLE FIELD WILL OP POSE HIM AT THE BALLOT BOX 1 The Fair In Aid or the Danphln County Noldlera' Monument. We are confident that there are very few even of our most public spirited citizens, not actively engaged iu the arraugements for the fuir, who can form any idea of the labor involved, or who can approximate an estimate of what has already been accomplished. Those who have undertaken this business, have refrained from everything like pretension, extsavagenfc promises, or flashy display. Miss Jennie Cameron, and the different committees actirig under her inspiration, have gone to work earnestly, patriotically, and determinedly resolved that the fair shall be success, and that success begins to develope itself in the grandest proportions. We are satisfied, from what we know and have seen, thafrthis fair will be one of the most brilliant displays of the kind ever made in this part of the State.

The House of Representatives (kindly placed at the service of the commit teesby Mr. Benedict) will be used for the main sales room, in which several monster tables have been erected, and which is to be decorated in the most gorgeous manner. A snite of the committee rooms belonging to the House have also been placed at the service of the committees. In the rotunda immense accommodations for a floral display are now in active progress, carpenters being at work erecting circular tables, side stands, so that the rotunda will soon be redolent of a perfume never exhaled in that locality before. The Senate Chamber (placed at the use of the committees by Mr.

Hamersly) will be used for the sale of heavy articles for domestic, agricultural and other uses, and is to be fitted up in a style to harmonize with the decorations in the rotunda and other Hall. Sufficient musical talent has volunteered to render it certain to have the best of musicians present during the continuance of the fair. One grand concert will bo given the week of the fair, for which the entire professional and amateur musical talent of the city has volunteered, and the concert will be a monster. The ladies of Harrisburg, as well as in every part of the county from which we have information, are now actively engaged in preparations for tho fair. Every branch of mechanism will contribute specimens of its handicraft.

The farmers of the county will give a share of their rich harvests the grate ful and the loving, the industrious and the beautiful of every family in Dauphin county will contribute their share, and when all is gathered in one common offering to secure a fitting memorial to the gallant dead, it will constitute a fitting tribute from an intelligent people. Naturalization of Soldiers. The act of Congress of 18C2 materially changes the naturalization laws. Any alien of the age of '21 years or upward, having enlisted in the army or navy, regular or volunteer, served a term and been honorably dis charged, is entitled to a vote the same asif ho had been formally naturalized. The expressed terms of the law are that any alien of the age of twenty one years and upward, who has enlisted, or shall enlist, in the armies of the United States, either the regular or volunteer forces, and has been or shall be hereafter honorably discharged, may be admitted to become a citizen of the United States, upon his petition, without any pre vious declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and that he shall not be required to prove more than one year's residence within the United States pre vious to his application to become such citi zen and that the court admitting such alien shall, in addition to such proof of residence and good moral character as is now provided by law, be satisfied by competent proof of such personhaving been honorably discharged from the service of the United States ns aforesaid.

This is an important law. Taken in con nection with the law of the State disfranchis ing deserters, the election officers have their duty and power plainly marked out, and it will become the peculiar labor of every man at the polls to see that these laws are fairly and impartially enforced. The President terminated his pilgrimage on Saturday. He was received with applause, at Washington city, by the men who were in the habit of passing most of their time, during the war, on the house tops, waiting and pray ing for the approach of Lee's army. Upon the whole we do not regret, save fdr its dam aging character in Europe, this electioneering episode.

The country now has the facts and a good measure of some of the men involved, far better than it could otherwise have got, It has had all the arguments which are pos sible to be made against Congress, put in their most cogent manner. It has had more sunlight let in upon the dark pro found of the Presidential policy, and has been agreeably entertained with Mr. Sew ard's indications of his theory. It can go on with its work more contentedly andvigorously now than before. And there is no shadow of doubt in our mind that the real effect of the loquacious wanderings, now happily closed, will be to cement the Union party more strongly than ever, to satisfy the South that its best interests consist in agreeing with the constitutional public sentiment of the North rather than with the views of any one or two men, and to teach our public officers hereafter that they are not expected to progress through the country advocating their own ends and aspersing all who differ from them, like the professional politicians of an earlier day in the South.

7 Rooms State Central Committee, 1105 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Seot. 13. 1860. U. W.

Ashcom, Hopewell, jUear sir lours, oi the litti instant, is duly received, enclosing that shamelessly false card on the subject of bounties given Dy congress to white and colored soldiers. Uur political adversaries are acting upon tne aciage, no wen adhered to is as good as the truth." As military agent of rennsylvania at Washington tor more than two years, I became familiar with all the laws of Congress granting bounties to soldiers. i most positively athrm that no act or acts of Congress discriminate aaainst white sol diers or in favor of colored soldiers. All assertions to the contrary are falsehoods. intended to mislead and deceive.

iou are ai uueriy to maice anv use vou please ot tins communication. a lours, truly, Fr. Jordan, Chairman. Mr. Jordan has been the State Agent of Pennsylvania at Washington for the last two years, lie is an able lawyer, ana would know, as clearly as any man, whether Congress had passed a law discriminating in favor of black soldiers, on the subject of bounties.

We deem this card of Mr. Jordan's sufficient to convince any fair man that the declara tions of the Copperheads on this subject are false in all these particulars. A few months before the murder of our noble President, Abraham Lincoln, the La Crosse Democrat published the following incitement to his assassination: Jf Lincoln is elected for another four years, we trust tome bold hand will nierr.e. his heart with a daggeoint for the public goou. Pomeroy, tho editor of the journal which published this murderous paragraph, has been invited by the Copperhead Central Committee of Indiana to canvass the State for the Johnson party.

Comment'is unnecessary. Fifty four head of fine cattle were suffo ted on the Tennessee railroad the other day by being shut up in a close car. Wiiex a Union man is murdered in the South, and the military authorities inform the civil powers of the fact, the reply is, that 'the. President ia determined that the Southern States shall be represented in Congress, and as soon as the radicals in the North, as soon as the men who lately ravaged the Southern States while marching through hem as Lincoln's hirelingsr refrain from opposing Mr. Johns.n, his friends will re frain from retaliaiina in the South.

The Southern people have no othmb way of opposing THE RADICALS BUT BY KILLING THEll!" Such is the effect of my policy! These are xi i Ti uie men wno are, mr. uumisuu a upumuu, fitted to take charsre of the Government. As 0 an evidence of the working of my policy, we cite the following dispatch from Nashville: Under tho provisions of Gen. Grant's order No. 44, lour men were recently arresieu iu Giles countv bv the military authorities, and brought to this city on a charge of murdering a negro.

The civil authorities refused to bring the murderers to punishment, and after the men had lain in jail for a few days, the Giles county court authorized that they oe reieasea, quashing the inaictment. CONSTITUTIONAL 'AMENDMENT Its Adoption Again Urged by the New York Heraio. So Other Settlement for the The New York Herald of Saturday urges udoii the President and tho South with in creased vigor and force the adoption of the constitutional amendment. We give the entire article immediate restoration of the south under the constitutional amendment of congress. i ihe togs and clouds in which the great question of Southern restoration have been covered up since the adjournment of Con gress are at length breaking away.

We know now what to do. Vye have been taught by the famous mariner Daniel Webster, after arming about tor many days in thick weather and in an unknown sea to avail ourselves of the first glimpse of the sun for an observation and a reckoning, in order to as certain how far the winds and the waves have driven us from our true, course. We thus find from the bearings of the Maine election that the true course for the Southern States and the Administration is laid down in the constitutional amendment of Congress. In other words, we are convinced from the sig nificant results of thcr Maine election that this amendment will carry all the Northern States yet to come, and that against the solid North any iurthcr resistance Irom the Administra tion or the excluded bouthorn estates will be a waste of time, foolish and suicidal to all concerned. We would therefore urge upon President Johnson the statesmanlike policy of a truce with Concress.

and an active co operation with the lixcd and predominant public opin ion ot the JNortu in bchait or the immediate restoration of the South on, the basis of this constitutional amendment. We have shown that there is nothing in it which the President has not himselt at one time or another re commended as essential to the security of the Union. It is not the radical plan; it is not so near, in tact, to the rebel disabling and confiscation plan of lhaddeus Stevens as the propositions put tortn lrom time to time by Andrew Johnson. It is a compromise which the President ought to have adopted in co 1 L. WtIL 11 1 1,11 11 1 V.

.3 1111 14 Ul Vll II tT Uil now to adopt at all events, because his con flict with Congress, if persisted in, will be most emphatically decided against It cannot be otherwise. The inevitable result is as clear to the searcher for the true situa tion of things as the light of the sun through thebreaking clouds. Not one of the States which voted for Lincoln and Johnson will fail to adopt this constitutional amendment. since JNew Jersey, the only State whose vote was against them, has led off for the Worth in the ratification. Tire policy and the duty of President John son, therefore, are as clear as a mathematical demonstration, and equally clear is the policy of the still excluded Southern States.

We have earnestly advocated the President's pol icy out aner me veruici 01 me jury the argument is at an end. The example of Ten nessee in the ratification ot the amendment is now the only alternative for the other South ern states. Xcnneesee, in ratifvinsr the amendment, opened the door to the admission ot her members in both houses ot Congress. She, by that simple act, is reconstructed and restored. Certain individuals of her people who violated their oaths to support the Fed eral Constitution in going over to the rebellion are disabled from holding any Federal office hereafter, until absolved by a two thirds vote of each house of Congress but by that vote tney can be reinstated even in Congress itself, if duly elected by their neorjle.

Next in regard to the rights of HuflVarfi in the blacks the amendment simply provides il fiii ji mat wnen in any state me right ot suffrage "is denied to any ot the male inhabitants of such btate, being twenty one years of age and nifivana rf ilia TTnifoH SifotAa am 1 1 1. right is in i'any way abridged except for nnr ticipation in rebellion or other crime, the i 1 i i .1 uusis ui represemuuuii inerein snail be re duced in the proportion which the number of sucn maie citizens snail Dear to the whole number ot male citizens above the ase of i i I iweiuy one years in sucn estate." in other words, if you give all your males, whites and blacks, above the age of twenty one years the right to vote, you shall count them all in counting your people tor Coungress, but neither they nor the families to whinli thov r. long shall be counted if you deny them the ngnt io vote, wnemer because of thn i iicuiivL tuiur, ui ucrausB mey ao not own a certain amount of property, or because thev cannot read and write. An abridgement of me suuruge on any 01 mese grounds entails a correHponuing reuueuon in counting the people for representation in Congress. Universal suffrage and universal representation, or limited suffrage and partial repre sentation in proportion, just as each State from Maine to Texas, may for itself elect, is the condition of this constitutional amend ment.

South Carolina, for instance, has a population ot 1 00, 000 of which 300,000 are wnites and are blacks. Taking 100, 000 as the number required for each member of Congress, she will have seven members if she grants universal suffrage; but if she cuts oil all her blacks she loses lour memhprs. and proportionately as the suffrage is restrict ed uy tx quanncation ot color, property, or euucauoii io wniies or uiaciss. This may 1 1 1 1 seem preuy severe upon me ooum, but it applies also, more or less, to everv Northern State, including New York which has a ne gro property qualihcation (two hundred and fifty dollars), and Massachusetts, where they have a reading and writing qualification. All the States will have to modify their laws to universal suffrage under this Constitutional amendment or be cut down to a greater or icss extent in meir numerations lor Coni ess.

I 1 .1 i i .7 i ma auieuuuiuui ui going mrougn. There is no other settlement for the South. The Governors ot the Southern States nnvhi. therefore, to call their Legislatures together at once and ratify this amendment, so that with the meeting of Congress in December tney may be all restored to both houses. In this way they can at once secure the rmlmi of power iu Congress and put an end to any further attempt of the radicals to apply new restrictions ot State restoration.

The Southern States, too, will thus be nut in a nositinn to take their ground and shape their course to some nurnesn ii view of t.hn PpnciilnniUl election. Whatjias been done in the case of lemiessee amounts to the adoption of a rule of admission. The way is plain, tho door Js open, and in this simple act of ratification the south will be restored to its balance of power. It is the ultimatum of the victorious North. hum mo ouuui win lose mucn and gain notli jug ujr uciujr in no uuopuon.

The Accident at Johnstown Thirteen Persons Killed and Many Wounded. The terrible accident that occurred at Johnstown, Jbriday, was much more fatal and distressing than the reports on Saturday represented them to be. It seems that not less than thir teen persons were killed or fatally injured, and a very large number wounded.

In expectation ot the special train containing the Presidential party, a large number of people, probably three thousand in all, had gathered in and about the depot at that place tender the usual salutations. the depot is an old canal, over which was a doable crossing with a sort of cover, fifty feet square between. Upon this structure or bridge some eight or nine hundred people had congregated, a large number of whom were women and children. The centre part was densely packed, and must have contained at least tour hundred people. The train had hardly stopped when the centre part gave way with tremendous precipitating the entire arty, in a headlong mass gome thirty teet.

Iardly had the noise of the falling timbers and the shrieks of the terrified people above ceased, when the groans of the dying and the screams of women and children came from the awful wreck below. All who had escaped injury proceeded at once to extricate the sunerers, who were piled one upon the other among a mass of timbers and iron rods. The poor victims men women, and children were dragged out from the ruins, several of whom had been crushed to death by falling timbers, but more by being fallen upon by others. Most of the killed and wounded were of the laboring class. Mr.

Metzgar, one of the killed, was proprietor of the hotel, and was quite wealthy and Miss Letitia Cannon was the belle of the town and fraduated at the head of her class on Tues ay last. T'he scene was one of indescribable horror. The groans of the wounded, and the screams and tears of mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters was the saddest sight even seen.
