A few days since on a festal occasion at
Jones’ Woods, New York, got up for the
benefit. of the widows and orphans of those
who fell in the ranks of tbe Sixty-ninth, at
ull run, Oupt. Thomas Francis Meagher
Fas called to the stand, and after speaking
in terms of admiration of, and devotion to
the federal cause he continued :
Will the Irishthen of New York stand by this
‘oause—[cries of “we will,” “we will,”’] resolute-
1y, heartily, with inexorable fitelity, despite of
‘all the sacrifices it tnay cost, despite of all the
danger into which it may compel them, despite
of allthe bereavements and abiding gloom it
may bring ipof such bones as this day miss the
industry and love of the dead soldiers of the Six~
ty-ninth, but in some measure to console and
succor which the festivities of this day have ta-
ken place. [Cries of “Yes, yes,”] For my part
1 ask no Irishman to do that which I myself am
not prepared to do. [Cheers.] My heart my
arm; my life, is pledged to the national cause,
and to the last it will be my highest pride, as I
concieve it to be my holiest duty and obligation
to share its fortunes. [Applause.]
1 ore not to what party the Chief Magis-
trate of the Republic belonged. I care not
upon what plank or platform he may have
ore the Constitution, under the imjunction
of the oath whichZhe took on the steps of the
Capital the day of his inauguration. [cheers]
The party disappears in the presénce of the
pation, and as Chief Magistrate duly elected
and duly sworn, is bound to protect and ad-
tniniater the national Poopeny for the benef
of the nation, so should every citizen concur

carding the mean persuasions and maxims
of the local politicians —[hear, hear] —and
substituting the national intered:s, the na-
ing, or the vengeance of party. [Eothusi-
astic cheering.] To me at all events, the
otency of the uational government, the
fo and glory of the natiohdl flag, are of
infinitely higher value than the Regency st
Albany, the Tammany Wigwam, Mozart
Hall, or the pewter Mig: [Cheering and
leughter.] Nor shall out cries on behalf of
the liberty of the press, ur the liberties and
immunities of the citizen, festrain me in the

thority of both are jeopardized. | Hear, hear.

have legitimacy, consistency and force—
these considerations are far dearer to me,
and I can claim them to be far more vital
consequences than the liberty to promulgate
sedition or the liberty to conspire. [Great
applause | Such liberties must succumb to
the demands of the crisis, the public safety,
the dicipline and efficaey of the army, and
the attitude of the revolt. [Hear hear ]—
Withih the range of the laws, the police, the
courte; the proprieties and interests of the
anmmunity, let them have full swing in the
days of peace. Such days bave their pecu-
lidr sdnctities —more then this, they have

ular institutions and prefogatives; and the

mitted, the one to sdattés broadeast, and the
bther to drop in crevices and corners, the

withot the commonwealth incurring any
ddtriment. [Hear, hear.] Bat in time of
war—above all ip time of civil war—the su~
premacy of the government should be the
ole nbject— [loud cheers]—and to this end
martial law should be the higher law, and
the only one in undisputed force. [Aplause.]

You know it wéll. I assert it without fear
of contradiction from any quarter ; and those
who bave had most latitude and impunity,

first to own it. The national government hag
suffered more from the patience, the lenien~
&y, the maguanimity it Nag practised toward
its enemies, and these who are in dympathy
and league with them, than it has done from
the éourage, the science, the fierce energy of

downfall, forsees a healthier and stronger
life for England and, the liberty of Ireland.

Northern Traitors.
We have a class of traitors in the North,
who are doing tore to embarrass the Gov-
ernment and misrepresent the feclibg of our
people, than the same number of men South
can possibly do, The war in which we are
engaged is for the maintenance of the Gov
ernment, the Constitution and the Laws.-~
Congress has said so ; President Lincoln has
said so. Such being the fact, how comes it
that we find men who are office holders and
hirelings under the Administration. deny
this, and declare that the object of war is
the abolition of slavery in all the Southern
States We notice that many of the prom-
inent Republican papers insist that this is
the object of the war, and at a late meeting
of the Republican State Committee of New
York, a resolution was adopted proclaiming
that ¢* the extinction of slavery must be
dchievéd before hostilities would cease.”—
Froth a late nuinber of the Harrisburg Tel
egraph; the especin! organ of the Secretary
of War, and is published by the
Postmaster o ity, we clip the follow-
ing sentesces ©
“ There cannot and there will never be
peace again in t once formed ths United
Stales, as long as slavery exists in the South.
This is the decree of God himself; who has
declared an eternal antagonisin between
rightand wrong ! I!” :
¢¢ To talk of peace, thefefore as long as
slavery exists on this continent, in conjunc:
tion. with freedom, is both foolish and im-
practicable ! 1 I”?
“If we intend to be free, the sooner we go
to work to overthrow and banish the institu
tion of slavery, the longer our Freedom will
last and the nobler it will become.”
Now, we insist that the Government owes
it to itself to have the author of the above
sentences arrested and tried for treason.—
The President has assured the people, North
and South, that the war is not to be waged
for the overthrow of slavery. If he was
sincere, why does he continue men in power
who deny this, and insist that the extinction
of slavery is the object of the war 2 Why
does Mr. Lincoln pertnit his hirelings ‘to
misrepresent him and the objects of the
CJovernment 2 These declarations of his
office holders are not only calculated to ag-
gravate and stagger Union men in the South,
nearly every man of them slaveowners, but
will, if persisted in, create mutinies in our
own army —nine-tenths of the men of which
wiil not agree that the object of the war is
for anything else than the preservation ¢f
the Union and the Constitution. We con~
tend that the men who utter language like
the sentences above quoted, misrepresent
the Government, and should be arrested at
once and punished as traitors. They are
creating a distrust in the country and in
the minds of the people, and we repeat that
the President owes 1t to himself and to the
cause in which all loyal citizens are engag-~
ed. to disabuse the minds of Usion wen,
North and South, by not only turning the
men out of office who misrepresent the ob-
jects of the Government, but to punish them
for their treasod. This the President will
do, 1f he regards his own plighted word.

CerTAIN hungry Republicans in this State
who have not been gorged to the neck with
public plunder 2nd the spoils, are exceed-
ingly anxious that the Democrats should
drop their party organization and hang on
the skirts of Republicans: So'far a8 we are
concerned, we are oblidged to these disinter-
esetd gentlenien, but muist beg leave to de-
cline the unholy connection. Doves and
hawks do not mate, neither can Democracy
mix with the murky stream of Republican -
ism. No, gentlemen, we contend for princi
ple, and not fer plunder, ond would rather
remain forever m the minority than gain
power by such'an itiproper alliance. From
the downfall of the Democratic party dates’
the ruin of the country ; and although mat-
ters are bad enough now, yet we believe
there is vitality enough in the old Demo.
cratic organization to restore the country to
its former power and prosperity. We “ex-
hort our Democratic frieads to remain faith.

VoLENTEERS.—AL no time since the open:
ing of the war has the workof enlisting men
for the service been prosecuted with hore
vigor, and better success, than during the
past two or three weeks. Though sttended
with no extraordinary excitement, there are
now four or five companies in course of or-
ganization in this county, and the gentlemen
superintending the work of enlisting for the
several companies feel sanguine of success.
The Centre, Rifles, being organzed by
Capt. J. H. Myers and Lieut. M. Runkle,
are said to number about sixty men. j
The Eagle Guards, in course of organi-
zation by Capt. A. B. Snyder, will number
seventy or eighty men within the next ten
days. hs
The Centre Infantry, under Capt. Wm. L.
Raphile, something over fifty of whom are
now at Harrisburg, number at present be-
tween seventy and eighty men.
The Pennsyvalley Infantry, under Capt.
John Boal, about sixty of whom are at
Harrisburg, will soon have completed its
ranks. ; >
~The Bald Eagle Infantry, under commané
of J. Irvin Curtin, left Howard on Thurs-
day last, with ninety-five men. Befors the
company left they partook of » sumptuous
dinner, prepared for them by the citizens of
Howard and vicinity. Addresses were de-
livered by Col. Wm. H. Blair, Revs. Gibson,
of the Presbyterian, and J. F. Brown, of
the Methodist denominations. When we
consider the object of the mesting, it must
regarded as one of tHe pleagantest conven-
tions of the people ever held in that place.
Thus it will be seen that, including the
Milesburg Infantry, now quartered at Har-
risburg, and 1n a state of complete orgdni-
zation, the Cavalry, under Capt. Wolf, and
the Centre Cuards, who have been in the
fieid for some two months, Centre county
will soon have eight full companies in the
three years’ service, numbering, in the ag-
gregate, about seven hundred and fifty men.
Besides the regular companies being formed,
fiere are a number of recruiting officers
canvassing the county, enlisting men for
regimefits and companies forming in other
parts of the State, but with what success we
are not informed.

*Deserted at Camp Curtin, Aug. 12.
BuriaL oF A Sorpier.—On Tuesday last,
the Bellefonte Fencibles, assisted by the’
Eagle Guards, escorted to their last resting
place the remains of their late comrade-in-
arms; Joseph Fulton, who died at the Miles-
burg Iron Works on Monday last, of camp
fever, by which he had been confined to his
room ever since the company returned home
in the latter part of July last. The Brass
Band headed the procession, playing a sol
en funeral march, and although the cortege
was comparatively small, the slowly moving
lines and solemn music created a profound
impression upon all that witnessed it. The
body wag interred by the soldiers without
the usual martial ceremonies, there being no
corms with which to peiform the customary
firing ceremony.
Serious AccipeNt,—Mr. John Brackbill,
of this place, narrowly escaped being killed
o few days ago, by his horse running away,
while on a business tour through Pennsval-
ley. It appears that, the traces becoming
hecame frightened and started oft at full
speed and had proceeded bit a short distance
when the wagon pset, precipitating Mr.
Birackbill under it, and severely injuring him
in several places. The horse broke away
from the wagon as soon it upset, and this
| fact alone, probably, saved Mr." Brack bill

_ GRAND MARRIAGE FANDANGO.—We are
not in the habit of giving editorial publicity
to wedding festivals, but one has occurred
recently which certainly deserves something
more than a passing notice. The parties
immediately concerned are of German ex
traction, and residents, of Roopsburg, and in
accordance with their characteristic hospi-
tality, had made arriingements to ‘entertain
all that, choose to come. The house was
brilliantly illaminated, and at an early hour
on Tuesddy evening was overflowing with
guests, The dancing, feasting and fun com-
menced early and was carried on with the
greatest possible gusto « till broad day light
in the morning.” During the early part of
evening a large hody of male guests,”
frond Bellefonte, visited Roopsbarg for the
purpose’of paying their respects to the bride
and groom, and were entertained in a most
hospitable style. The entire affair is said
to have passed off in a most harmonious
and pleasant gnanner.
TrespAssins.—Farmers residing ic the
vicinity of town are. making complaints of
the trespassers, both old and yonng. The
old depredators go with bags, at night, and
levy contributions oti the corn and potatoe
fields. while the young brigands charge up-
on the apple. orchards with a recklessness
incredible, The law on the subject is strin-
gent ; any person entering upon the premises
of another, with intent to steal fruit or veg-
etables, or destroy trees, fences or shrub-
bery, is liable to both fine and imprisonment.
The farmers, out of respect to the parents
of some of the boys who are guilty of these
disreputable acts, have been lenient hereto-
fore, but we hear that a number are deter.
mined in the future to punish all depreda-
tions on their premises to the full extent of
the law.
A#bacious BureLary.—The saloon kept
by Mott Anderson, under Brokerhoef’s Row,
was entered on Tuesday evening .iast, about
I1 o’clock, and the till relieved of a small
amount of change, and other minor depre-
dations committed. The entrance was ef-
fected through a back window.
ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD.—An acei
dent occurred just below the depot, on the
Snowshoe Railroad, on Wednesday morning
last, by which the passenger car was thrown
off the track and down an embankment into
the creek. The car was slightly injured,
but no personal casualty occurred.
THE LATEST NEWS.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5.
Respectable Zehtlemen, who have arrived
from North Carolina by a circuitous route,
say the Union prospects in that State are of
the most encouraging character. The acting
Governor is a reliable Union man. Secret
Leagues of Loyalty” exist in every county,
and are rapidly increasing in strength, al-
ready numbering one holf of the voting pop-
ulation.
A Provisional State Government will be
put in operation in a few months. Two full
brigades of loyal men have been enrolled. —
The ‘League’ have made extended arrange-
ments for electing a member of Congress
from every district. Four were known to
have been elected on the 21st of August ;
and the latest news is that the entire gight
are clected— each having received a large
vote They are among the best men in the
State, who will insist upon a vigorous prese-
cution of the war. Their certificates of
election will boar the signature of the Gov-
ernor, and the broad seal of the State. Since
the engagement at Hatteras Inlet, the North
Carolina troops have been withdrawn from
Virginia. Maiy of them are dissatisfied
with the war and those who entered the
service for the term, refuse to continue in
the Confederate employment.
