SAMUEL BENDER, Ex'r. May 22, 1863—6ts VOLUME 3S. NEW SERIES. THE GREAT TRIAL. The Villanous Slanders Against the Democracy Exposed. Sentiments of Leading Republicans and Democratic Statesmen, Showing Who are the Friends of the Union. We call the whole people together as u jury aud submit to them the following evidence touch ing the loyalty of the Republican and Demo cratic parties. Parties have distinct principles and those principles are enunciated by the stand ard hearers of the different parties, and the mas ses of the respective parties follow their stand ard bearers, and by so doing adopt and endorse their sentiments. Here and there a leader will give out sentiments that his party is not bound by, but when you find the majority of the lead ing men of a party expressing the same idea it is conclusive that those ideas represent the prin ciples of the party, and every follower of such men is hound thereby. By this test wo will first try the Republican leaders, every one of whom is now in high places in the Administration. — We will take their own admissions, says the Ohio Democrat, which is the strongest evidence known to the law, to produce conviction. Let every honest Republican now pay attention, while we have the witnesses sworn and examined: SWEAR TLLADDEUS STEVENS. I will not stultify myself by supposing that we have any warrant in the Constitution for this proceeding. This talk of restoring the Union, as it was, under the Constitution as it is, is one of the ab surdities which I have heard repeated until I have become sick about it. The Union can never be restored as it was. There are many 1 things which render such an event impossible. This Uuion shall never, with my consent, he restored under the Constitution as it is, with slavery to he protected by it. TIIADDEUS STEVENS, The Administration leader in Congress. The above is an extract from a speech of his, delivered in Congress. SWEAR HORACE GREELEY. From the N. Y. Tribune (Republican) Feb. 1863. Speaking for ourselves, we can honestly say that for the old Union, which was kept in ex istence by Southern menaces and Northern con cessions, we have no regrets and no wish for its re-construction. Who wants a Union which is nothing but a i sentiment to lacquer Fourth of July orations withal ? SWEAIi WM. I.OVD GARRISON. The Fremont parly is moulding public senti ments in the right direction for the specific work the Abolitionists are striving to accomplish — i the dissolution of tho Union, and tho abolition J of slavery throughout the land.— William loyd ■ Garrison. SWEAR WENDELL PHILLIPS. Resolved, That the Constitution of the Uni-1 ted States is a covenant with death, and an a- • greement with hell, which ought to be immedi ately annulled.— Phillips in a Boston Meeting. SWEAR JOHN A. BINGHAM. Who in the name of Heaven, wants the Cot ton States, or any other State this side of per dition, to remain in the Union if slavery is to continue?—/ lon. Mr. Bingham. Mr. liingham has been a Republican Con gressman frotn Ohio eight years, and is a pros pective candidate of that party for Governor at the next election. SWEAR SIDNEY EDOERTON. I tell you there is going to be a dissolution of the Union, and I do not care how soon it comes; all I want is to give those fellows (Southrons) a good licking and then kick them out— Sidney Edgerton. Mr. Edgerton is another Republican member of Congress from Ohio. SWEAR BENJAMIN F. STANTON. Seven or eight States now deny their allegi ance to this Government, have organized a sep arate Confederacy and have declared their inde pendence of this Government. Whether that independence is to be maintained or not, is with the future. If they shall maintain their posi tion, aud if public opinion in tho seceded States shall sustain the authorities there for a year to come, so as to show that nothing but a war of subjugation can bring them back, I, for one, am disposed to recognize their independence.— Benjamin F. Stanton, Feb. 28, 1861. Stanton is the Republican Lieutenant Gover nor of Ohio, and was formerly a Republican member of Congress. His speecli above was delivered in Congress. SWEAR BEN. WADE. The only salvation of the Union, therefore, I was to be found in divesting it entirely from all j taint of slavery. There was no union with tho South. Let us have a Union, or let us sweep away this remnant which wo call a Union. I go for a Union where all men arc equal or for no Union at all, and I go for tight.-—Extract from Benjamin F. Wade's Speech, 1855. NOW SWEAR ALL OF THEM. From the speech of Carl Schurz in New York; "The Union is gone. It cannot be restored!" From Mat. Carpenter's speech at Chicago: "These caviling Constitution lovers must now come to time! • * * In war the President exercises unlimited power. From Henry Ward Beecher, whose newspa per publishes the laws of the United States, "by authority." "A great many people raise a cry about the Union and Constitution, as if the two were iden tical, but the truth is the Constitution has been the foundation and father of our troubles." From iVm. 11. Seward: "There is a higher law than the Constitution which'regulates our authority over the domain." * '• BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 26,1863. From Wm. Loyd Garrison, who now sustains the meusttres of the National Administration : "The North must separate from the South and organize her own institutions on a sure basis." From Horace Greeley "The Union is not worth supporting in con nection with the South." From Wendell Phillips, who now supports the Administration: "There is merit in the Republican putty. It is the first sectional party ever organise! in this country." From N. P. Banks: "I am willing, in a certain state of circum stances, to let the Uniou slide." This speech was delivered in 1855. There can be no Union till slavery is destroy ed.—Extract from Owen Lovejofs speech, April < 24, 1862. SWEAR GENERAL BCTLEIt. "I say /am not for the Union to be again as it' was. Understand me : I was for the Union as | it tas, because I saw, or thought I saw, the troubles in the future which have burst upon us, ! but having undergone these troubles, having ! spent till this blood, and this treasure, i do notj mean to go back again and be cheek by jowl ! with South Carolina as I was before, if I can I help it. Cheers and 'You're right.'" Extract from Gen. Butler's speech in New I York, April 1863. SWEAR TIIE OHIO STATE JOURNAL. "The Union has done nothing for freedom. . Then why should freemen deplore the loss of the I Union. Separate peaceful existence of the sec- I tions are preferable to a Union which is dissat isfactory to one, and which retards the progress of the other."— Ohio State Journal, March 7,'61. Having shown that the leading Republicans j are opposed to restoring the Union, wo will pro-; ceod to prove that the leading men of the Dem ocratic party are all for the old Union. We j first call some witnesses who tire enemies of the Democratic party. HEAR WM. 11. SEWARD. I know the Democracy of the North, I know ■ them now in their waning strength. Ido not : know a possible di-unionist among them all. 1 I believe tlicy will ho as faithful to the Union now I as they were in the by-gone days when their j ranks were full, and their challenge to the con j test was always the war cry of victory.— Wm. j 11. Seward, 1861. In this country, it is a habit not only entire ! ly consistent with the Constitution, but even es | sential to its stability, to regard the Adminis | tration at any time existing as distinct and sep ■ urate from the Government itself, .and to can vass the proceedings of the one without the tlio't of disloyalty to the other.— Sec'ry Seward, 1862. lIEAIt CONGRESS-SI AN CONWAY. "The Democrats will not of course list "it to separation for an instant. Such a suggestion in their eyes is treason, for which one ought to be banged. Their plan is simp'v oppose the Administration on its anti-slavery policy, and on that issue to carry the country." Extract from the speech of Mr. Conway, Republican Congressman from Kansas, in Con gress, February 1868. HEAR SENATOR COWAN. Sir, I bad rather have the moral and material ai.l of tho Democratic party in this war than all the legislative projects that could be hatched in the brains of a Congress composed entirely of reformers. Extract from speech of Senator Cowan, Re publican, inU. S. Senate, from l'a., March 21, 18G3. HON. WM. Dl Ell, OF NEW YORK. "I certainly can enter into no combination with Republicans to overthrow the Democrats. They are in the main loyal and patriotic. They are the chief bulwarks against the assaults of the Northern disunionists. Upon them rests, in a great degree, the hopes of the Union." Extract from tho letter of Wm. Duer, Clay Whig, of N. Y., to a Republican Convention in 1862. HEAR TUB NEW YORK TIMES. The New York Times, reckless as is its course toward the Democrats, concedes (April 9, 1868) that Governors Seymour and Parker, "have shown no disposition to lift a finger toward em barrassing President Lincoln," and has "no doubt they will effectually co-operate with him whenever and however it shall be found neoee sary." Having given the testimony of some of our political enemies, as to the position of the Dem ocratic party, we now call live Democrats to the stand. VALLANDIQIIAM FOR THE UNION. "It is in the restoration of the Union as it i was in 1789, and continued for over 70 years, that 1 ant bound to the last hour of my politi cal existence."

LAST WORDS OR STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. On his death-bed, his wife ask .1 the dying standard-bearer of the Democratic party if he j had any message to send to his two sons, llal- I lying f<>. a moment, his eyes flashing, his whole ' frame dilated, "Tell thorn," said he, --to obcy tlie laws and support the Constitution of the j United States." PROPHECY OF GEN. JACKSON, j Said the old hero to a friend at the Hermitage, a short time before his death: 'The Abolition party is a disloyal organiza tion. Its pretended love of freedom means noth ing more nor less than a dissolution of the if tiicn. Honest men of all parties should unite to expose their intentions and arrest their pro gress." PROPHECY OE DANIF.I. WEBSTER. "If these fanatics and abolitionists ever get power in their hands they will override the Con stitution, set the Supreme Court at defiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with them in 1 opinion, and finally bankrupt the country and ' deluge it with blood." Remarks of Daniel Webster, in 1850. HOW TO DESTROY COPPERHEADS. The New York Evening Post, a leading Re publican paper, lmd, in its issue of Saturday last, a most withering editorial upon the imbe cility and absurdity which characterized the proceedings of the Administration. Instead of the Administration and its pensioned depend ents. giving the country a vigorous prosecution of tic war, it exhausts its energies in a vigorous prosecution of those who dare discuss their fail ings- The Evening Post, however, can not en dors this limping policy in regard to the war, and the fiery zeal manifested by the same parties in tfisir anxiety to stifle public discussion. The Post even goes so far as to suggest the removal of certain blustering heroes and the appoint mett of others in their places. Itconcludea thus: • •••••• "If the government will attend closely to the war, and if military gentlemen will go and light the enemy, wc shall hear less of arrests and other abuses at home. Gr, if it be necessary that arrests should be made, let us begin, as a writer in one of the morning papers the other day advised, by arresting Jeff. Davis and his cabinet, condemning Lee and Bragg to I'ort La fayette, and banging Toombs, Wise, Floyd and others, without benefit of the writ of habeas corpus or even of the clergy. These arc arrests which may be made in the most arbitrary man ner and nobody will complain : no court will in sist upon reviewing the proceedings; and a meet ing could scarcely he mustered at tho Five Points to listen to speeches in vituperation of the au thors. Gen. Gnint, we take leave to say, is doing a great deal now in illustration of our method lly his gallant passage of the Vicksburg bat teries; by his intrepid assault upon Port Gib son; by his rapid movement upon Jackson and capture of that town after several hours' hard fighting; by his instant evacuation of the place to advance upon the enemy's works, and, in short, by his four or five severe battles in about as many days, he has done more to stop the mouths of gaiusayers than a thousand "arrests" and ten thousand prisons teeming withstato cap tives. The bitterest opponent to the government is compelled either to fling up his cap in the presence of such facts, or to remain in stupid and obstinate silence. Could the other officers of the army be made to imitate this activity of WHOLE NUMBER, 3063 VOL 6, NO 47. Gen. Grant, and the half dozen little armies, that we have scattered about the coast doing nothing, be brought together; could Gen. Hook er make a second attack upon Lee from the rear, supported, however, by a strong reserve; could liurnside, instead of interfering with po litical assemblages, march with thirty or forty thousand men through Cumberland Cap into East Tennessee, to interrupt the communication of both Lee and Bragg, and menace both their armies, there would never be another copper head heard of. The majority of them would become suddenly loyal, and the others, in the bitterness of their resentment, sting themselves to death. No duty of the government, then, we repeat, is so imperative and momentous as that of over whelming and crushing the rebel armies. To capture Richmond, or any other place in the South will not put an end to the rebellion; to try political offenders by military courts will not .put down the rebellion; arrest women for Happing their crinolines at the star-spangled banner will not put down the rebellion; but to so mass our armies and so plan our summer cam paign as to defeat, rout and destroy the rebel armies—that will put an end not only to the re bellion, but to all the mischievous and silly manifestations of sympathy with it which ap pears in the free States. IT is of no use to hack away half inches of the tail of the copperhead serpent; but crush his head, and then you will bo rid of the creature without further trouble. Revolutionary Proceedings of Gov. Yates of Illinois. We have already announced to our readers that Governor YATES has prorogued the Legis lature of Illinois tilt the first of Monday in Jan uary, A. D. 1803, a year beyond his time as Governor!! The reason which prompted him to this revolutionary act he sets forth in his mes sage as follows: "WHEREAS, I fully believe that the interests of the State will bo best "observed by a speedy adjournment, the past history of tho present Assembly holding out no reasonable hope of be nificent results to the citizens of the State, or the army m the field, from its further continu ance; "Now, therefore, &c." HE, the Governor, believes that the interests of the State will be best subserved by a speedy adjournment, "because the history of the pres ent A c . einbly holds out no reasonable hope of henelicent results to the citizens of the ,State!" Si, then, the Governor of Illinois not only feels himself autlrri:id to judge of the post acta of the Legislature, hut al.v < of tho luturo ones which are not yet committed, and which ltu £?els celled ojion to prevent by -ending tho mcui bcrs home! Hut the sequel remains to be told, as well as tho motive which prompted the revolutionary proceedings of Governor Y atks. A dispatch to the Chicago Times, dated Springfield, Illinois, June 10th, will enlighten the reader on these points. "After reading the Governor's order adjourni ng the General Assembly, the House remain ing in session, the Scmate ro-assembled, Mr. Uuderwood in the chair, and a joint committee was appointed to [irepare an addrees to the peo ple,-stating why the Legislature is not transac ting legitimate business, which was done, and the address—a very able one—signed by every Democratic member of tho House and Senate. A committee of conference on the soldiers' re lief bill reported that they had agreed upon the Senato amendments, which were accordingly concurred in by the House, when on an attempt to finally pass the bill, every Democratic mem ber voted lor it; but it failed for want of a quo rum. Lieut. Gov. Hoffman declared publicly, this morning, that the Governor would veto any hill appropriating monxi) for the soldie.is, unless he was entrusted with its expenditure. In-such a case the poor soldiers would get little or none, as past history proves. The Democratic State Cdhimittce have issued a handbill notifying tho people that the soldiers' relief bill has been de feated by the action of tho Governor, and call ing for a grand subscription in money from the mass meeting here on the 17th. It is thus hoped that the object so bitterly opposed by the Governor and his allies in the Legislature may yet be realized in spite of him, and the Democ racy will see that the contributions on that day will be liberal, and worthy the great party who give and the gallant soldiers who receive tho aid so much needed. Let Democrats who can not conic send their subscriptions by their neighbors who do come, that the army and the world may see to whom really belongs tho title of the sol diers' friends. The same members, while ut terly denying tho right of the Governor to ud jouni or prorogue the Assembly, find themselves powerless to enact needful legislation, the Ke publiuaus having left them without a quorum. They accordingly retired from the hall without adjournment. The peoplcot the State will 11 x the responsibility lor this miserable partisan jugglery where it justly belongs." Lieut. Governor HOFFMAN, the Gorman lied and black llepublican of Illinois, let tho cat out of the bag. The Governor would have vetoed any bill appropriating money for tho sol diers, unless he. was entrusted with its expenditure. The Governor wanted to discriminate between the soldiers —not in regard to their military mer it, but in reference to their adhesion to the Ab olition policy of the present Administration. — Governor YATES has played his last card, and it won't win. QUEKB Episrui.—The following is a eopy of a let ter sent to the clerk of a parish church in Gloucester:—"Mister, my wife is ded, and wants to be berrid ; dig a griefo for her, and she shall come and l>o berrid to morrow at 2 o'clock.

Wives and Carpet. The Chicago Journal thus learnedly philoso phizes on these themes. There is a large streak of sense in the reflection: In the selection of a carpet you should al ways prefer one with small figures, for the two webs of which the fabric consists are always more closely interwoven than incarpetittgs where large figures are wrought. There is a good deal of true philosophy in this that will apply to matters widely different from the selection of carpets. A man commits a sad mistake when he selects a wife that cute too large a figure on the carpet of life—in oth er words, makes much display. The attractions fade—the web of life becomes worn and weak, and all the gay figures that seemed so charm - ing at first, disappear like summer flowers in autumn. Many a man has made flimsy lin seywoolsey of himself by striving to weave too large a figure, and is worn out, us 1 up, like old carpets hanging on tfie fence, before he has lived out half of his allotted days of usefulness. Many a man wears out like u carpet that is never swept, by the dust of indolence; like that carpet he needs activity, shaking or whipping; be noeds activity—something to think of—some thing to do. Look out, then for the large figures, and there are those now stowed away in the garret of the world, awaiting their final consignment to tho cellar, who had they practiced this bit of car pet philosophy, would to-day be firm and bright as Brussels fresh from the loom and everybody exclaiming, 'lt is wonderful how they do wear.' Napoleon and Knavish Commissaries. Just before the great battle of Wagrara, while the array was encamped on the Island of Lo bau, near Vienna. Napoleon, walking one day with one of his Marshals on the shora, passed a company of grenadiers seated at their dinner. "Well, my friends." said ho, "I hope you find the wine good." "It will not make us drunk," said one; "there is our cellar," pointing to tho river Danube. The Emperor, who had ordered a bottle of wine to each, was surprised, and made an immediate inquiry. Ho found that forty thousand b ittlos, sent by him a few days before for the army, bad been purloined and unaccounu I for by the commissaries.— They were immediately brought to trial and condemned to be shot, which sentoncc was spee dily carried into execution. Here was a venal oilenee, insignificant, indeed, when compared with the frauds upon the urgent wants find nec essities of our soldiers recently brought to light, but it received a severe and merited punishment. A few such examples in our army would do a world of good. SINGULAR ANECDOTE —There wus a vonng ' woman left in the care of a house; her master and mistress being in the country. One night on her going to bed, when sho was undressing herself, she looked in the glass and said, "How handsome I look in my nightcap." When she arose in the morning she found the house robbed. Sho was taken into custody on suspicion of be ing concerned in the robbery, was tried and ac quitted. Some time afterwards as she was walk ing in company with another female, a man pass ing her said, "How handsome I look in my night cap.", The expression so forcibly struck her mind that he was the man who robbed the bouse, she seized hold of him with the utmost intrepid ity, and held him fast, assisted by her compan ion, till he was given into custody, at which time be confessed that when he was under the bed he heard her use the expression previously to his robbing the house, and be suffered ac cordingly. THE WRONG MAN.—Presence of mind often saves one in emergencies. In the following CM, an old toper seems to have been peculiarly Heap ed: A good anecdote is told of a man named Uently, u confirmed drinker, who would never drink with a friend or in public, and always bitterly denied, when a littlo too steep, ever tasting liquor: One day some bad witnesses concealed themselves in bis room, and when the liquor was running down his throat, seised him with his arm crooked and his mouth open, and holding him fast, asked with an air of triumph; "Ah, Uently, have we caught you at last? YOB never drink, eh!" No one would that Bently would have acknowledged the com. Not he; with the most grave face and inaK|m sible calmness, and in a dignified manner, ha said—"Gentlemen, my name is not Bently T BE A MAN OF YOUR WORD.— When you promise to do a thing, do it. Be a man of principle in your word. Do not say that you intend to day to visit your sick friend or neighbor, and then suffer the pressure of business to crowd it out of your mind.
