tating the whole country with fire and
sword, driving the aged and defenceless from
their homes, murdering the men and ravish-
ing the women ; if any one even suggested
that this was all exaggerated, the mere re-
port of frightened, brainless fools, he was
at once denounced 8S a ‘‘copperhead’” and
a “‘traitor.”” No one was permitted (0 ex-
ercise any reason Or common sense, with-
out being insulted and taunted as a *‘sym-
pathiser with Jeff. Davis.” The Abolition-
ists were determine d that every one should
be as mad and fanatical as themselves, or
not be permiited to live peaceably in the
commun ity. This condition of things lasted
until reports were received of the battle of
Gettysburg. when, presto !' change! every-
thing was right the reverse. The ‘‘rebels”
were not only defeated and demoralized,
but the whole of Lee’s army taken prisoners
—shey were so completely annihilated that
none of them could ever recross the Po.
tomac. Richmond must surely fall in the
course of a few days, and the “repellion™
was alreacy in effect ‘‘crushed:’ The in.
vasion of Pennsylvania by Lee's army was
panned by Linceln’s Administration, and
everything managed as it afterwards hap-
pened for the purpose of drawing Lee into
a “trap” and ‘‘vncovering’’ Richmond.
If any one expressed or even felt any donbt
upon any one of these niany points he was
a ‘‘rebel,” “disloyai” {o the ‘Government,’
to wil, Abrakam Lincoln. Now, to allege
that the “rebels” had done great damage
to Pennsylvania by the invasion was un-
questionable evidence of “disloyalty.” It
was now lreason even to insinualc, what a
week before, it was (reason even to doubt.
Everybody must again become a fool and
an idiot or have hus ¢ loyalty’ not only sus.

Another feature of the fame rpirit mani-
fested itself as soon as the scare was over.
When favorable news of the fighting at
Gettysburg commenced armving, no Demo-
crat could appear om the streets without
being insulted in the most outrageous man-
ner by these Abolition [uuis. Thishas been
the course of these hypocrites and sccun-
drels ever since the war commenced. —
Whenever a federal victory gave them any
hopes of conquering the South. they at once
would commence a systematic course of in-
sults and taunts to the Democracy, hoping

hy that means to drive us intd an alliance

the Democratic party together, That this
course of theirs 18 nol the result of 1gno-
rance, but of design and deliberate malice,
13 proven by the [act that not only the
fools, but also the kzaves of their party, the
bankers, lawyers, judges and prominent
politicians in it. As soon however, as the
federal arms mect with any serious reverse,’
they become as fawning and cringing as so
many whipped puppies, end well thea go
to prominent Democrats and ber and plead
with them to go into democratic townships
and solicit the people to volunteer. When
it is necessary to raiso money for the pur-
poses of bounties and maintaining the fam-
ilies of svldiers, they expect Democrats to
give flftics, hundreds, and five hundieds,
but as soon as the emergency is over, —the
fright is off- -they will denounce these same
Democrats who have made war speeches and
subscribed literally to their war funds as
“sneaking copperheads” and “rebel sym-
pathistrs,”
By this continued course of action they
trast they will be able to make us rejoce at
the defeats and lament at the victories of
the Federal armies 3 when they will succeed
in throwing so much ediura on our party as
to insure them success in the coming politi-
ical campaign, Was ever there before ex-
hibited such low party malice, ana malig-
nant treachery to the country as this con-
duct of the Union Leaguers. All real pat-
riotism, all the amenities of sy:nl life, all
justice, all regard for private character, all
respect for common decency, are sacrificed
on the altar of malice, to answer the de-
mands of their inborn hitred of the Demo-
cratic party.
Theso men certainly cntertain no idea
that they can ‘‘conquer the South” and
‘restore the Union” withot the aid of the
Democracy. They know very well that if
that party should at once withdraw its sup-
port from the administration in evary way,
and leave the “‘wide-awakes” and ‘union
leaguers’ to carry onthe war by themselves,
Lincoln could not remain in Washington a
fortnight ; and in three months Lee might if
he chose, have his dress parades at the foot
of Bunker Mill mocument, and Lady Davis
be holding her levees and fetes in Fanueil
all. Notwithstanding they know this,
and know also that their present course
ends naturally to drive Democrats away
from the support of the administration and
the war, yet they persevere, and permit no
favorable opportunity to pass without heap-
ing abuse and insult upon every Democrat,
All this they call “loyalty,” pronource it
“patriotism.” God protect this country
from the efforts of these ‘loyalists’? and
“patriots”

he drove them? If a ‘‘respectable porticn’’
of the people of any State desire to ‘amend
their Constitution,” they have the power
and privilege of doing so within the pale of
the Federal Constitution, and the people of
Louisiana could amend their State Consti-
tution as well when acting as citizens of
United States as they can now. The sim-
ple fact lies here, the Union never again is
to be restored if abolition fanaticism can
prevent it, and every man that is furnished,
cvery cent of moucy that is contributed to
carry on this war is that much towards
destroying the Government founded onthe
graves of our sires.
Let the people reflect. If they are wil-
ling to toil aud be taxed, to die and be
dawned, for the purpose of freeing the ne-
groes of the South. they have a perfect
right to do so, and those who support the
war hereafter, must do it with their eyes
open, and cannot be looked upon as patriots
or Union loving men. After this last act
of Abraham Lincoln, there is but one way
left for the men of the South, and that is to
fight to the bitter ead, and those of the
North who have foreed them into this posi-
tion should remember, that the God of Jus-
tico favors those who battle for right, for
home, and life.
Messrs. 1. E. Mathoit, Bradish Johnston,
and Thomas Collman :
Gentlemen— Your letter which follows, has
been received and considered :
«To His Excellency, Abraham Linceln,
President of the United States :
«The undersigned, a committee appoint-
ed by the plantirs of the State of Louisiana,
respectfully represent that they have been
delegated to scek of the General Govern-
ment a full recognition of all the rights of
the State as they existed previous to the
passage of an act of secession, upon the
principle of the existence of the State Con-
stitution unimpaired, and no legal act hav-
ing transpired that could in any way de-
prive them of the advantages conferred by
the Constitution. Under this Constitution
the State wishes to return to its full alle-
giance in the enjoyment of all the rights
and privileges exercised by the other States
under the Federal Constitution. With the
view of accomplishing the desired object,
wo further request that your Excellency
will, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army of
the United States, direct the Military Goy-
ernor of Louisiana to order an election, in
conformity with the Constitution and laws
of the State, on the first Monday of Novem-
ber next for all State and Federal officers.
With high considerativn and respect, we
have the honor to subscribe ourselves your
} obedient servants,
E. E. Marnorr,
Bramsu JonnNston,
Tos. CorrMaN.”
Sinoe receiving the letter, reliable nfor-
mation has reacicd me that a respectable
portion of the Louisiana people desire to
cwend their State Constitution, and contem-
plate holding a convention for that object.
I'his fact alone, as it seems to me, is a sufli-
cient reason why the General Government
shonld not give the commitiee the authority
yon aseck, to act under the existing State
Constitution, I may add. that while I do
not perceive how such a committal could
ficilitate our military operations in Louisi-
ana, I really apprehend it might be so used
as to embarrass ther.
As to an election to be held next Novem-
ber, there is abundant time without any
order or proclamation from me just now.
The peoples of Louisiana shall not lack an
opportunity for a fair election for both Fed-
eral and State officers by want of anything
within my power to give them.
Your obedient servant,

A Contrast.
Every one knows that war, conducted on
the most humane and enlightened principles,
is full of horrors and]calamities. And it
Las been the desires of all civilized nations
for ages to mitigate the barbarity of war
by the adoption of mild and just rules for
the goverment of belligerents in their treat-
ment of enemies, when m their power. So
well recognized and universally received
are these rules and maxims, that any people
or nation that wages war upon opposite
‘principles is execrated by all other Chris-
tian nations, and it 13 generally expected
and believed that the curses of the .dlmigh-
ty will fall upon such offending nation. We
publish below two orders or proclamations.

pare them and decide whether we have a
right to expect that Providence will bless

agery as that of Gen. Ellett.

ProcLaMATION OF A REBEL GENERAL
York, June 30th 1863.
To the citizens of York : I have abstain-
cd trom burning the railroad buildings and
car shop in your town because, after exam-
ination, | am satisfied the safety of the
town would be endangered ; and acting ir
the spirit of humanity, which has ever char-
acterizea my government and its military
authorities, I do not desire to involve the
innocent in the same pumshment with the
guilty, Had I applied the torch without re-
gard to consequences I would then have
pursued a course that would have been ful-
ly vindicated as an ‘act of retaliation for
the authorized acts ot barbarity perpetrat-
ed by your own army on our soil, but we
do not war upon women and children, and
I trust the treatment you have met with at
the hands of my soldiers will open your eyes
to the odious tyranny under which it is
apparent to all you are yourselves groan-
ing.
J. A. EARLEY, Major General 0. S. A,
DuriNa the occupancy of Pennsylvania
by the Confederate forces under Gen, Lee,
certain of our abolition fellow citizens ex-
pressed the hope that they might even
peuetrate as far ag Bellefonte and ravage
and plunder everything 1n their course, be.
cause, as these patriots affirmed, they
would thus be sure to burn out and de-
stroy all the ‘‘d—d Copperheads.” This
was the expression of some of our most
prominent abolitionists, and shows the ex-
tent of their patriotism. In order to see
that class of our citizens whom they de-
nominate ‘“Copperheads,” burnt out and
killed off, they would be willing to have
the country indiscriminately pillaged and
ruined from Chambersburg to Bellefonte.
This is what they call patriotism! It is,
however, nothing but fanaticism, and
shows the rancorous party feeling which
bas taken complete possession of their
souls. In other words, it shows tho deep
and deadly hostility which they cherish
toward the Democracy ; for “copperhead”
is but another name which they have ap-
plied to the great party of tho country.
These men are the ones who would be
first to run should the veteran soldiers of
Gen. Lee make their appearance, and yet
they howl the loudest about the “coward-
ly copperheads.” Poor contemptible fools |
Do they not know that these same “Cop-
perkeads,’’ in their patriotrsm, tower as far
above them as do the snow-capped peaks
of the Andes above the comparatively in-
significant proportions of our own Blue
Ridge. The term ‘‘Copperhead” which
they have applied to us as sn epithet of
disgrace, is the Pemocracy’s proudest title,
aud no Democrat should be ashamed to wear
it. TLo ¢Copperheads” will live in the
memory of ages as the saviors of their
country, when these peor contemptible
creatures will havo gone down into obli-
vion and be covered up forever with the
dust of their own infamy.

The 4th In Centre Hall,
At a ttme when our libertics are again
in danger of being torn from us, when op-
pression once more threatens us with its
galling chains, and ruthless war makes red
the field of strife, would seem to be the
most fitting time to read with renewed rev-
erence, and republish as it were, to the
world, the glorious charter which declar gg
us to be an independent people.
Feelings similar to these must have per-
vaded the minds of the citizens of Centre
Hall and vicinity as they assembled to hear
read that immortal instrament, on the eye-
ning of the 4th. No meeting bad been ap-
pointed ; it was not understood that there
was to be a demonstration of any kind, but
in the evening the people began to assemble
as though it were natural for them to expect
that this day on which our forefathers de-
clared to tho world that they would no
longer submit to the oppressive tyranny of
Great Britian, should not pass without an
expression of our heartfelt gratitude for our
deliverance from the bonds of British op-
pression. Men came from all directions,
till quite a large crowd had collected.
The stillnessof the evening was present-
ly brokea by the loud reports of guns,
loaded anvils, pistols and whatever was
most convenient. Fire-balls went streaming
through tho air shedding a lurid hight on
the gathered crowd, who cheered lustily to
see the good work go so handsomely or.
After some time the meeting was organized
by calling Mr. John Shannon to the chair
and electing Maj. John Neff snd Dr. C.
Knorr, Vice Presidents, and W. A. Murray,
Secretary, The object of tho meeting was
briefly stated by the President, when Mr,
Wm. Wolf was appointed to read the De-
claration of Independence, which he did
in a clear and impressive manner. The
reading was listened to with marked atten-
tion by every one present, After the De-
claration was read Dr. R. 0. Wier sugges ted
the propriety «f reading certain portions of
Constitution of the United States, which
was accordingly done. Those portions do-
fining tho powers of Congress, and the
President wero them read after which the
meeting quietly adjourned.

The Peace Bentiment as Aft:cted by In
vasini.
|
The war journals soem to be feeling the
pulse of the Peace party with the utmost sol-
icitude. With them, the blast of a trumpet
or the tramp of a regiment through our
thoroughfares signiffcs a sudden extinction
of all inclinations of a pacific nature. They
fairly gloat over the Rebel invasion as fur-
nishing a pretext fur the rekindling of that
smouldering war fire which has already
well nigh proved a funeral pyro to the Re-
public. It follows by no means that be- |
cause blows are struck that the hearts of |
the combatants are in the struggle. While
hostilities are actual, itis a watter of course
that both sides should bring to bear then
military energies. However universal unght
bo the Peace sentiment of the North, not
the wildest enthusiasg in the cause could ex-
pect or desire that our armies should ground
their arms in the presence of an invading
foc. While in the ficld, our soldiers must
behave as soldiers, but their coursge can-
not bo received as proof of che justice of the
causo, or the policy of continaing the strife.
The Peace party designs not to direct the
machinery of war, but aims at awakening
the people to a consciousnesa of the uscless-
ness of that machinery to accomplish a bon-
eficial result.
If, as the war journals assert, the invasion
of Pennsylvania has aroused an overwhel-
ming spirit of resistance, 1t should teach
them to contemplate tho inevitable conse-
quences of an invasion of the South, The
Southerners are a {ree-born, brave, and self-
reliant people like ourselves They have
tho same stubborn attributes cf “opposi
tion to aggression, the samo devotion
to their native soil, the samo determination
to protect their homes from violation, and
their land from the desolating march of hos-
tile legions. The Awerican soldier is in-
domitable when he fights for the preserva
tion of his hearthstone from the rude pres
cuco of an invader, and tho Southerner ig
American no less than ourselves. The
chances of war may give to cither section
the temporary, but never, though revolving
cycles should witnsss an unabated violence
of contention, and interchanging blows
should be continued till the crack of doom,
will either section be compeiled to bow be-
neath tho yoke. Invading troops. of which-
ever section, will eventually bo driven
back. No carthly military power can ac-
complish, a subjugation of either the hysi-
cal or moral streogth on either side. Bat:lo
is mere waste of life, the cuployment of
armed hosts mere waste of trcasure,the pro-
longation of the war a mutual draining of
tho life-blood of the sections, tending cspo-
cially to the humiliation of the Federal pow-
or before the civilized world.
Harrisburg may fall or Vicksburg may
capitnlate © Washington may blaze beneath
the bursting of Confederate shells or Rich-
mond may be leveled with the dust ; still
over the ashes of cities and tne wreck of
strongholds, the spirit of resistance will ho-
ver on unwearied wings. Bitterness may be
redoubled, retaliation may euchance the hor-
rors of the strife, the heroism of the soldier
may degenerate into the ferocity of butch
ers of his kind, servile insurrections ma
drench the soiliof the South with the blood of
babes and women, and revolution in the
new terrors upon the ghastly picture, but
the manhood of the South and of the North
will yet contront invasion and in tho end
repel it,
We know ourselves well enough to be se-
cure in our own independence ; when we
know the foe to be our equals in these
particular? The war must not proceed
unless wo forfeit every claim to Christain
principle and enlightened manhood. With
the opening of the next campaign, if we
permit it ever to be opencd, Europe will
warder down and cry “enough.” Let us
avoid the shame of foreign interference. It
will come inevitably unless we forestall it
by a voluntary Peace, Let this disgraceful
tradegy close by the clasping of blood stain-
ed hands and the invitation of generous
alliance. Tho North is prepared and anx-
ious for it. It isa partizan dream that the
Peace sentiment has been crushed by the
tread of the invader. The ravages of war
broughtthome to ourselves will be but an
additonal argument for Peace. At tho
hour when the last Confederate foot shall
leave our goil,let the proposition for an ar-
mistice go forth from Washington. -N. ¥.
