Uny 22, 18G3. Stand by the Laws. Wc conjure our Democratic friends through- | out the country, by every thing which they hold j dear, to submit to, stand by and uphold tbe laws I of the land. Lot us keep strictly within the limits of the law. If wc do this the enemies of our liberty must always assail us at a disadvan tage, and must play the part of law-breakers and wrong-doers. He not the aggressor, but stand on the defensive and fall back on your rights as a citizen of the United States and of Pennsylvania. Of course, wo do not mean to say that you shall suffer any one grossly to in sult you or to deprive you of any privilege which you possess under the Federal and State Consti tutions and the laws made in conformity thereto. Insist upon all those privileges, nay, fight for \ them, if it becomes necessary. But be temper- j ste, be cool; adding only to moderation and a quiet deportment, firmness and resolution. He ! not rash, but, "be sure you're right, then go ' ahead." Do nothing until von have river it a second thought. Act with caution nnd deliber ation, but act with a will that cannot bo over borne. Democrats, remember The Law. It is the rock upon which we have builded. Uncon stitutional laws must be tested according to law, and when decided unconstitutional by the proper anthority, they are null nnd void Let us re main behind the impregnable fortress of The Law and we shall be able to hold our position. VA disgraceful row occurred in our usually quiet borough, on Monday last. The trouble arose from a soldier attempting to take a Cop perhead badge from a citisen of Monroe town ship, who was on a visit to town. Sovernl quar rels sprung from this, and finally the military drew a pistol and began to throw stones. The upshot of the whole affair was that nobody was much hurt, our Monroe friend going out of town with his badge displayed on his coat collar. In the evening some of the bravo Abolitionists in this neighborhood, with clubs in their hands, sig nalised their chivalrous nature by pulling off Copperhead badges from half grown and very small boys. This ended in a prosecution for aseault nnd battery, and the grand finale of the drama was the administering of a sound thrash ing to a half a dozen young ruffians by a Dem ocratic boy about fifteen years of age. We can only say that we do not wholly blame tbe sol diers engaged in this foolish and disgraceful bu siness. The men who lie eontinunlly about their neighbors' loyalty, who speak and print in such a manner as to arouso the feelings and prejudi ces of the unthinking against their own friends, who call Democrats Copperhead*, and then, when Democrats, good-humoredly nssume the reproach, denounce and abuse them for doing eo,—-those men are responsible fur scenes of this kind. The Bedford Inquirer has done a vast deal toward exciting such outbreaks. How would thfe editor of that precious journal have ftlt, If hit efforts to raise a mob had culminated, on Monday last, in the death of some of his ntiiglibort and in the razing to the ground of one half of (be houses in Bedford!

Joo. McCanloe, of Philadelphia Obituary uett week- It!!! "THE LEIMEJITII BEiTHi" A New Secret Oath-bound Society! Another Band of Midnight Conspirators I THE TRAITORS-TEN UNMASKED! For some time it has been surmised by the good people of Bedford, that a secret society ex isted in their midst and that it held regular meetings in some place supposed to Ire secure from public observation. This secret bnnii was known to be composed entirely of Abolitionists, and its leaders had often been heard to say ! that the old Union was a "humbug" and that they would never ngree to the restoration of the Union as it was. It was, therefore, thought prudent to set a watch upon the movements of these truitoroui conspirators, and to discover, if possible, wh.at plans they were hatching to ac complish tin ir traitorous purposes. They were j accordingly traced to one of the public offices in the Court bouse, where they met several times, the door beiug locked behind them, llut on Wednesday night, 27th nil., they were holed in a private house, on West l'itt street, where they held their orgies until a late hour. Their numcs have been taken, and (should circumstan ces make it necessary for the public to know who they are) will be published in due time.— They are bound together by a horrible oath, which requires them to keep secret the affairs of the League and to carry out its "objects and principles," the nature of which is not stated. We have in our possession an authentic copy of this oath and will publish it whenever it be comes necessary to do so. Suffice it to say, for the present, that it binds those who take it to ) support none for office but "true and reliable ! Union men." "True and reliable Union men," j in the estimation of these oath-bound conspirt - | tors, arc, of course, only such as will subscribe : to all the monstrosities and excuse all the ter giversations of the present Administration. — i Hence these men are sworn not to vote for any . Democrat. They aro sworn to support none but Abolitionists for office. On this point and to show what aro some of the objects of this "league with death," we publish the following | Startling Diclotirc- The Syracuse (New York'* Courier publishes the following, furnished to it by the gentleman to whom it was addressed. Although a Re publican in his politics he was not vile enough to sanction the infamous scheme rocom mended to destroy the liberties of the country, and con sequently has made thj exposure. Let our Democratic friends look out. Such s. crct or ganizations for the atrocious purposes indicated most probably exist in every county in this Stme: "UncA, April 9, 1863. "Alt. , , N.

You are perhaps aware that our Loyul Leagues of this State are to hold a Ktato Con venuon at this place on the 27th instant. I am informed that your League is in proccßs of formation. I dare say you know there are two Leagues—one public, another secret—the former civic and the latter military in its plans; and from whut I am told of your peculiar abil ities. I especially wish you to take part in the latter. It is essentially necessary that this organiza tion Bhould be speedily effected. The increa sing boldness and numbers of the Copperheads in this Slate are such that they must bo put down before the next Presidential election, or they may out vote us at the polls. Their clam or about free speech, arbitrary arrests and the Constitution is misleading the people. We must not bo too careful or timid about the measures necessary to keep them under.

If so, the sooner they let us know it the better. If not, then let them repudiate and frown upon this attempt of the demagogues in their ranks to excite political animosity and to arin citizen against citizen.

Beware! Democratic Club in St. Clair Township. On Saturduy evening last a large number of the Democrats of St. Clair township, met at Pleasnntville. and formed themselves into a club. The following persona were officers of the meeting: President, Mark Howsarc; Vice Presidents, F. C. Mock, Samuel Becklcy; Secretaries, John W. Crisraan and Daniel J. Horn. The Con stitution adopted by the Club is as follows: Tho printing presses shall be free to every person who undertakes to examine the proceed ings of tho Legislature or any branch of Gov ernment, and no law shall ever bo made to re strain the right thereof. The free communica tion of thoughts and opinions is one of the in valuable rights of man, and every citizen may freely speak, write and print upon any subject, being responsible for tho abuse of that liberty. Art. IX, Sec. VII, Constitution of Pennsylva nia. The undersigned, citizens of St. Clair town ship and vicinity, have formed themselves into an association for the following purposes: First, the restoration of the administration of the government to the principles and poh.\y of ihe Fathers of tho Republic, to the end that the Union may, if possible, ho re-established ai it was, the Constitution maintained as it is, and an early, honorable and enduring peace be ob tained for our rent and almost ruined country.

Th'rd, resistance by peaceful and lawful means to all the acts of the present Federal Adminis tration, which are or may be in violation of the Constitution and manifestly adverse to the good of the people at large. In order to tho success ful accomplishment of these purposes it shall ho tho object of this association to strengthen and uphold tho organization of the Democratic pnr ty, by supporting its regular nominations for local, State and Federal offices, and by defend ing its doctrines and rallying around those who prove themselves its truo and trust-worthy ex ponents, and to the furtherance of these objects we pledge our honor as men, our patriotism us citizens, and our fidelity as Democrats. tsrThe Democratic State Convention mtets in H f rrisburg, on tho 17th inst.

World with in the limits of his department. tyThe largest political meeting ever held in Huntingdon, came off in that place, on Fri day last. "Jt was called for tho purpose of tlt nouncing the mob which recently destroyed th Monitor and to re-establish that paper. Tb proceedings wore very harmonious and charac terized with much enthusiasm. Tho twenty-eighth anniversary of the Ding nothian Society of Franklin and Marshnll Col lege, was celebrated in Fulton Hall, Lancaster, on Friday evening 29th ult. Our young friend. Mr. Jonathan Cessna, was one of the perfor mers, and according to the Lancaster papers, acquitted himself in a very able manner. We copy the following notice of his performance from the Lancaster Inquirer: The Constitution of the United Statei, By Jon athan Cessna, of Bedford, Pa., was a brilliant exposition of our glorious Constitution, which is not the "mere ideal production of a single schol ar or statesman, but arose from tho exigencies of the age of its adoption," and "was tho first instunce of a government, deliberately formed for the people for whom it was intended." The speaker instanced a comparison with other Go vernments, and showed how absurd was the idea on which they were founded.—The history of" the world presents a succession of governments coming into existence, flourishing for a while, and then falling into decay; until "in the full ness of time the principles of universal freedom were established in the constitution of the Uni ted States." Ho sketched in a beautiful man ner, the trials and troubles of the country frosa the end of the revolutionary war, until they a roeo "upon the wide platform of wisdom, jus- Bee and equality, in the simple uuyecty of eter nal truth, the proud temple of the American f Union, chaste, toworing and sublime." The harmonious adjustment by the Constitution, of various interests were pointed out. The duties of the various branches of the Government were held up to view, and ho quoted from the immortal Jefferson to show that the powers of the Government were so "divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, that none can transcend their legal limits without beintr effectually checked and restrained by the oth ers." It was the sacred duty of ths President "to preserve, protect and defend the Constitu tion which has been the admiration of the world, and the pride of our citizens. Our nation, founded on that Constitution, touched as it were by Freedom's wand, sprang from thirteen Colonies into thirty-four free and prospering States." The speaker in eloquent terms spoke of the rebellion as the severe trial of the Con stitution. We hnve devoted more space than usual to this production of Mr. Cessna's as we consid er it one of more than ordinary merit. It was delivered in a very striking ninnner, and if ho should lay aside his hastiness of speech will muko a most effect ire public speaker. ItaiNiDURG, Juno 1, 1803. MR. EDITOR: I picked up tlio Bedford Inquirer of Inst week and in looking over its columns I noticed some correspondence from Kainshurg, in which there was a great ado made about what was styled a "Copp irlieud" meeting held in this place, at which you chanced to bo one of the speukers. The author of this correspondence signs himself "N.," whieh, I presume, is intend ed as an abbreviation for "Nobody," or "Nig ger," I hardly know which. I rather incline to think, however, that it stands for the latter, as "N." is an Abolitionist of the first water, hav ing come into the ownership of a slave by mar riage, which slave he philautbropically emanci pated on the auction-block to the highest and best bidder, whilst a tender-hearted liuly, (who, although a slave-holder, abhorred this tratlic in human flesh,) stood by, subbing and weeping at this exemplary exhibition of the humanitarian ism of her lord and master. Oil! "N.," phil anthropic "N.," does not your palm itch for more of the gold you received for that precious darkey, every time yon think of that excellent .business transaction? Truly, you are an elegant fellow to cull people Copperheads and pretend to be in favor of freedom. "N." proceeds to say that the President of the meeting was "an old Copperhead." ABRAHAM McCBEL LAN, a better patriot than ever "N" was, even though "N" did join the army and resign, was President of the meeting. This white-haired ; veteran, lieloved and respected by all who know \ him, sent two sons to tho army, and they did ' not reaian, or desert, but came back to their j homes, lawfully discharged, and hearing bono - ablo wounds receive 1 in the shook of battle. , Yet brave and valiant "N." turns his back upon ; the Secesh muskets aimed at the flag of his ooun try and come 3 home to traduce his old neighbor, ; the father of these noble sons. Oh 1 how gal ( hint! Oh! how chivalrous 1 Is there not some ' decrepit old woman in Friend's Cove for "N.," the "Great Resigned," to make war upon ? j "N." suys, further, that one of the speakers ] "harped a great deal upon the unconstitutional ( acts of the President; but it wns presumed lie I meant the Montgomery Constitution." As the i speaker read from the Constitution, this goes to I show that '"N." knows nothing about that su | crcd instrument and lets us into the secret why he is nn Abolitionist and an ass. Of course I any man that talks as -I N." does, couldn't tell 1 the Constitution of the United States from that of the Southern Confederacy, or from the Fun ' damental law of Liberia. Nothing could be , more natural. "N." SHys there were some "groans" at the I meeting. So there wore, and no wonder, f-.it the home-thrusts tho Abolitionists got, were enough to make any body groa'j. They were thrown into spasms by tho bold exposure of their diabolical plans to destroy the Union, muz zle free speech and sot up a government extend ing to the nigger tlif; and privilege to gov ern the white map. How, Mr. Editor, this Mr. "N.," in speaking of you, seems at a loss what to say. Ho evidently desired to say something, but what tliat something was, he failed to ex press. A gentleman furnished him with notes of tho meeting. But he wns a little like the "Fremont pups," he couldn't "got his eyes Open." T'.io truth of your arguments struck him with such mighty force, that tho only thing which ho was able to scratch down in his note-book, wns "Copperhead!" I presume that tho venom of which this reptile is possessed, had taken such a hold upon his system that be became transformed into hydrophides. But the vote which was taken as to whether we would prefer the Union as it wns and the Constitution as it is, to that Union proposed by Wade, Seward, Gree ley and others of the abolition hoard, and which was found to be unanimous in favor of tfie for mer, was the fatal sting of the Copperhead.— Since thnt bite, the Niggerhcads have become quite gentle, and unless there be very soon u great change in their appearance, there will be quite a number of gopher holes in this place. But let me notice briefly the position of the Democratic party, so that vo may determine who are the real friends of the Union. It al ways has been the firm declaration of tho Dem ocratic party, that they desire to maintain the Union unimpaired ns transmitted to us hy our forefathers. Through thcNorth, wherever Dera-. ocrats have the power, their State Legislators have passed resolutions pledging theihsclves to support the President in all constitutional mea sures to suppress the rebellion, and to restore tho Government to a proper and full exercise of its legitimate authority. This ought to satisfy tho most rampant patriot ill the land. But it is not tho desire of tho Abolitionists to have peace and order take the place of carnage. If the war had been carried on from the first for its legitimate purpose, tho Southern people would have been convinced by this time, that we were' only determined on maintaining the Union, and not on making war oa their private institutions. By pursuing such a course, the war would have been brought to a speedy close. But tho party which is in power now, does not desire peace, as this would break up their rich government contracts and scatter the cloud of hangers on at the public treasury. They have not yet got enough of the government fat to satisfy them. Tho difference between the true method of carrying on tho war and that adopted by the Administration is, that their plan is to extermi nate the peoplo of the South, set the niggers free, and tear up the Constitution, whilst tho course marked out by the Democracy is, that of putting down armed rebels, calling on the peo ple of the South to abandon the leaders, and return to the protection of the old flag, under all the guarantees of the old Constitution. If by fighting those who are in arms and extend ing Jove sad p?aes to tbooo net in arms, would. not restoro peace and harmony, how can the barbarous programme of the Abolitionists do it? I will just say in conclusion, that the spirit of Democracy in Friend's Cave is becoming stron ger every day, and when the next election comes, we will let it be known that the Democracy is determined tlmt victory shall ho inscribed on her bunner. We have formed a lurge Demo cratic Club here, which is receiving daily ac cessions. .JACK. For the Bedford Gazette. To the Good Citizens of Bedford.

The Utioa Leaguers and the Soldiers. The Sew York Union Leaguers sougut to make their recent demonstration formidable and "tikiug" by parading tlie returned soldiers in their ranks, and by tiie lavish use of free tickets succeeded in taking with them from New York about three hundred, which number was some what increased on the route to Utica. The sol diers, generally turned up their noses at the whole affair, and seemed to comprehend it all by in- Rtinct. Moreover, they were not backward in dissenting from and denouncing the aims of the pohticul schemers who had them in tow. The correspondent of the Herald has tho following picture of the doings at Utica. The procossion of soldiers and citizens was formed about half past eleven, near the rail road depot, the soldiers numbering about six hundred, in front, Colonel McQuadc, who has, after a gallant service of two years—one year as acting Briga li ;r—just returned from the war, in command. About a thousand citizens were also in the procession. They marched to Chan cellor square, where the ovation was held. The soldiers were, on their arrival there, treated to a sumptuous feast, prepared by the ladies of Utica. In the meantime meetings were organized at three stands. The officers at each stand were principally Seward men; so were most of the speakers. Governor Seymour was denounced for his Vallandigham letter, and the arrest of the latter gentleman approved. The most hit ter speeches were those of Wilmot, of Indian a, one of tho leaders of the Know-Nothing raovemeVit, and that of Lyman Tremaine. Both were quite bitter. . . •While the latter was speaking, a company of soldiers worked their wny into the crowd, and began an mcettqnt cheering for Mct'lflfan. Word was sent to Col. McQuadc tlwtthcsohlicrs wore trying to break up the meeting, He went im mediately to sec what the trouble was, and found that they were cheering for McClellan. He told tliera it was very nica to cheer for "Little Mac," but complaints wero made that they were breaking up tho meeting. At that they commenced chnering for Col. Me- Qunde. Similar demonstrations were made at the otiier stands. 1 The cry was raised that they were a lot of drunken soldiers, but with tho ex ception of two or thri/o, whoever states that, utters a base calumny against tho brave soldiers and heroes of many hard fought battles. ••• m . • • A recess wo* taken about five o'clock until evening. A lot of soldiers immediately took possession of one of the stands, and commenced cheering for AfcC/ellan, and praising him as a gen eral-, doclaring him to 1 be the only man that could lead tho Army of the l'otomae on to vic tory ; denouncing in bitter terms the politicians in Washington, Congressmen and Senators, aa opposing McClellan because he was setting tho war In a business-like manner, and was inter fering in their schemes to make capital out of it. They were especially bitter on the radicals in Congress and the Committee on the conduct of the War. The remarks of the difcrent sol-licrs on these j points were greeted with great applause by their comrades Some of them declared that many of their eomrodet were buteht red at F-rrdcnrbiurg' to satisfy the intrigues of the. jxfitieians. " Dcnem j uhth 0-c Washington paAlu%tl ooaptratort," and 1 others trpuhl ay, "Give ws MiCltttUn to lead, tttta we utll return to the war." This demonstration by the soldiers was kept up for nearly nn hour in that stylo. It, in fact, seoiucd as though they could not say too much in praise of "Little MHC," of denounce in hitter enough terms the intrigues against him at Wash ington. I henr numerous other instances of soldier* manifesting enthusiasm for McCiellun, but will mention hut one or two as being significant. Whilst Mr. Urticc was speaking at one of tho stands, it soldier in an officer's uniform mounted a barrel ami declared this gathering an Aboli tion sell; that he Imd not heard a word from the speakers, and then commenced cheering for McClelhui. The soldiers of the Tenth Kegl inent rallied around him and joined in the cheers. They kept the matter tip for some time, cheer ing first for McClpllnn t|tid f.hen ifor Poigcr. The result was, the crowd around the stand nearly, all left, and they were obliged to .send for the band, who plaved the "Hed. AVlutt and lilue,'! before the audience would rettirr. Their Vers were interspersed wi.h groans tor t!i; ;•j —,s. Mr. Townsend was also interrupted hi •• rii • r way.
