Turn Out Freemen I
In another column of to-days paper
will be found a call for a Democratic
County meeting, to be held in the Court
House in this place, on Tuesday evening
spit. We hope it will be responded to
by every man in Centre County who is
in favor of peace and the restoration of
our Government to the greatness and
glob , that once characterised it. It was
through our carelessness and Cowardice
that we lost the happinesSand prosper
ity that once blamed us, and it is only
through our vigilance and determination
that they can bo 634mi:trod again. Every
one feels the terrible load of taxation
that has been bug upon him through
the imbecility and„wiokedness of this
administration, and it is only through
leis owls efforts that it can be thrown off.
As long as we, the people, are stilling to
remain quiet and • subniotive, Us long as
we Are willing to pay taxerind bounties
and furnish men and money to carry, sn
the war, AO so long will it be castanet!.
When we cease giving, this Abolition

m To"Ah Whom It May Oonoern."
Such was the title of Abraham Lin
coln's reply to the propositions of the
Southern Commissioners for peace, made
at Niagara, a tow weeks sine, a reply
that effectually doses the door against
all hope of peace during the continuance
in office of the present incumbent of the
:.idential chair. In this repl y , which
wo presume nearly every-late ligent man
in the country hag read by this time, it
is expressly stated that no propositions
for peace which donut look tb the entire
"abandonment of shivery" will be listen
ed to or received, or entertained for a
moment; and the inference is that the
war must go on until slavery is abandon
ed, no matter bow much more blood and
treasure it may cost.
By this document thi9 people, if they
are not totally blind, will peicedie that
no'more hope or trust- can be placed in
Abraham Lincoln: The overthrow of
slavery is, in his estimation, of morb im
portance than the integrity of .our own
government; and, to accomplish this
purpose ho is determined to spare neither
treasure nor blood. As long as'tho peo
ple will furnish him men and money to
carry out his infamous and damluille de
signs, he will stop at nothing short of
the accomplishment of his unconstitu
tional and unholy ends. He delights in
the misery which has befallen the land,
and the shrieks and groans of the wound
ed and dying are sweet music to his oafs.
He has rejpoted a *fair and - honorable
proposition for peace. Let the people
hold him responsible for the woo and
desolation yet to comp. Ho has called
for another five hundred thousand. Will
the people / submit and again furnish him
the means to carry on this accursed, cru
sade against the rights and liberties of
nino millions of our fellow-citizens?
We opine not. We hope not. If they
do, they but aid him in the furtherance
of a purpose which is condemned by the
Almighty and the whole civilized world,
and which will bring upon themselves
•misery and utter ruin, as sure as thisun
of heaven shines,
Let Abraham Lincoln help himself oat
of the scrape into which he had no busi
ness to got. Let notanotherman, nor an
other dollar be given him. A mean, mis
erable tyrant and despot, with no regard
for the rights of individuals or of States,
we have nothing to hope from him, and
the sooner he is drivenirom the seat of
his power in Washington, by arms or,
otherwise, and perishes fronitie face of
the earth forever, the bette it will be
for our country and the whole human
race. 6,

An Honorable Peace.
The administration and its friends never
ask ' but ens question—bow they shall
continue the war. TM" people are beginning
to ask, with greatlnnamity, how they can
stop the war. Whilii the-Prealdent and his
followers are hi:Poling like ihmished wolves
for more blood, the nationls praying that
the public: and few lives blft it may be
spared them. In this, the people are right ;
Our rulers are, mad and depraved.
This administration has never desired an
honorable peace. It has never sought to
o iii or
o nan honorable pates. It hates peace.
esident has never Issued a proolama
, or sanctioned a tidtathre, or uttered a
word, is any manner whatever tending to
make an honorable peace possible. The
Northern half of the nation has been per
mitted to accept no alteinative lb 'operatic:a
but that of "descending to the shame of be
coming the conqterors and masters of the
Southern half of. the nation. And even
'that alternatite has not been permitted us,
except at the cost of the liberties of all the
people, northern and Southern included. •
There are various plans of peace which
have been declared possible :
1. By the conquest and 'subjugation or
the south, inrOlving the complete •over
throw of republican government and the es
tablishment of a permanent military des
potiem.•
2. lly.Baropean Intervention,
involving
the subjeotion of both sections to the de:
nomination of foreign bayonets. -
S. By a reopgnition of the Sonthero Con
federacy, involving the establishment of two
free governments, each republican in form
and fact.
4.- By negotiation and com _
ing in a convention of the States and in
greiter security 'to the States against the
wrongful intervention of the federal gov 7
ernment in the local concerns of the pee
ple.
The first manner of attaining peace is the
only manner which the Federal administra
tion has ever considered or ever intends to
.Consider. It is a sort of pekoe which would
prove dishonorable to the north, and as dis
astrous to the one section as to the other, it
implies an abandonment of every sacred
and valuable principle of the government.
It would redacts the entire waren to an in

Tho Terme of Peace.
A man who le willing to aid Mr. Lincoln
or Mr. McClellan to make war on the Dom
°orate of the tiputh, in order tO compel them
to remain, in 'Minion which they declare to
be perverted into an engine of oppression
and politioal degredation, is no Democrat,
as 4 Matter of course. fie may profess to
be, and vote with the organization calling
itself Democratic, but he is not a man who
stands by the vital principles of self gov
ernment, and consequently, whatever leads;
to coneolidation receives his support. For
years the nominal Democratic party of the
North strove to avoid the Veal issue agitat
ing the country ; and alarge portion of it,
are to-day, using every party and monied
appliance to raise side issues in the present
campaign. To dodge. invent side issues,
and to delude the people is called "policy."
If the Democratic party shall plant itself on
the self evident declarations of Independ
ence, and on the Dred Scott decision, as the
true exposition of th e normal condition of
the negro race, then, if successful in ob
taining power this fall, it can make terms
of poaoe with the South, and effect a re-or
ganization of the Republic. Otherwise, it
can no more settle the difficulty than Mr.
Dintioln. The people of the South will never
make terms of confederation with the North
that do not distinctly involve a full and
complete recognition of these great princi
ples are: The express acknowledgment of
the BOVRILRIONTT 07 ZAOII SIAM and the
mut. and MORAL existence of eaoao SUB

a settlement of the present ;MTH war, we

not take the responsibility of meeting these
two issues of amicable adjustment. The
war will close before long on some terms ;
either on these or by absolute recognition
and permanent dissolution. The success of

Why, ' 1 • ' • ,
1. The Biserves were organised at the

request of the tubbinistration they went to
the front, and their thinned ranks tell how
well they fought. , •
2. The Twentieth and 'twenty-first Penn
sylvanialcavalry, were organized for sit
months' service for State defense, but were
sent into the heart of Virginia, and, on
their re s enliatMent, Were addedio the Army
of West Virginia. ' :

oeatly for the ,defense of the border, but
were sent to Washington and the Army of
Potomac by order of the War Depart,

Now we submit that, in view of these
facto, the people of Chambersbon and
Southern Pennsylvania have been most
cruelly used. After filling all the calls for
men honestly—after raining State defence
regiments, and hundred daY men in addi
tion—they are stripped of their defenders
by orders from Washington': Their town is
destroyed by the rebels, and then they, are
grossly insulted in their misery , by the or
gans of the very administration irbieh left
them exposed to their enemies.
Horrors of War.
If the choicesi stores of Dell's horrors
were at human -command, could Pny nee°,
or negro sditocate find - any anythifig
more dreadful, than demo df the scenes of
the present war, as enacted at the- South?
We sympathise deeply with the splrorers on
our own border, and would gladly do every
thing in reason to relieve the homeless and
penniless people of Chambersburg, but it.
is simplythe part of manhood now and ever
to denounce the madness which called into
this contest black' demons incarnate, instead
of men. Look, if ye can, black republi
cans, on this , picture, and bow your heads
in shame at your own 'wretched work.
The 2d Massachusetts infantry, 700 strong
with one hundred white cavalry from the 2d
and 6th regulars, lately moved into 'West

bers of names are mentioned of persons
who were stripped of every particle of food
and all their farming implements, &0., the
negroee saying they were to have farms in
Maryland, and, would need tools. Their
line of march produced a desert. Says the
Richmond Enquirer:
"Mr. Ben. Bnglieh, after having everything

Mr. Lincoln has forked ppon Gen, Lee the
honer; which we should gladly have with
held from him, of fighting the battle of de
fensive liberty on this continent, while Lin
coln and his party carry on a war of offen
sivedespotiam... Lincoln's War le not upon
the South alonel it is upon the North also.
It is a war against a great principle—the
'principle of liberty and self-government. It

we have entered the field of blood—that the
terrible struggle. is but just commenced. If
as is more than intimated by the leading
Republican papers, the despotisui inaugura

indeed, the sword is as yet but just started

fighting for the skeleton of a Union, after
we have ourselves crushed the soul opt of
it, is nearly over. For one, we not hesitate
to declare that wo a thousand times prefer
death in an honorable conflict to preserve

li,intist be evidenCto the most casual ob
server that the Administration is again pre
paring the way for controlling the coming
elections • by promulgating cock-and-bull
stories of great copepiraoles discovered, in
which prominent men of the Democratic par.
ty are made to figpre as leading conspirator":
It is but the old story of "Knights of the
Qoldon Circle" reiamped, and as void of
truth as were the announcements made two
years ago relative to an organisation then
said to be in existence.
The falsehoods now fulminated by means
of the telegraph reSative to Vallandigham
and other prominent Democrata, are but feel
ers put forward to sagertain the state of the
public mind, to excite, the prejudionsi and
passiontepf partisans, and to serve as pre
texts upon which to base illegal and arbi
trary arrests, or thehendingtif armed &meet!
to election precincts to overawe the peopld
and prevent the free exercise of the elective
franchise, which the Administration party
is fully arare will seal its doom in October
And November neat, unless some ouch devil's
echmeme of tyranny Is resorted to and suo
cesefully carried out.
That it will be resorted to, the past and
the present furnish sufficient evidence! to
convince the most skeptical mind ; but that
it will be successfully carried out is yek an
unsolved problem. Men have learned many
lessons the past few years ; and many, very
many of the z former admirers of "Honest
Old Abe," have come to doubt hie right and
title to the appellation of "honest," and
hesitate to believe this stale re-hash of
" Knights," " Bons of Liberti, 4 &0.,
now
sent over the wires at the instance, no doubt
of deeply interested parties and the secret
conclave known as " Loyal Leaguers."—
Many an honest, but heretofore deceived
Republican, like old Itogor with the Liver,
could stand it " for fifty or sixty meals, but
as a steady diet" it begins to sicken them
until they are about reads' to take a dose • of
good old Democratic reme4y,itt order to rid
themselves of this infernal Lincoln
And the scoundrels who, • while the whole
country is in spasms, have betiayed the peo
ple, are plundering their treasure, building
?Oahe, and sending other portions of their
ill-gotten gains to foreign 'countries, and are
trampling upon personal rights, may as well
understand now—right now—that the peo
ple intend to give arrexpressionsathe ballot
boxee this' 614 that shall be snore terrible
to their guilly'sonls than the " thunders of
Birds." Let then; prepare to quit the plums
they nnw occupy, for they must leave, and
the places - that know them now shall know
them no more forever.
" Loyal Leaguers " •tuay prate of their
patriotism and of Democratic treason, but
that which in their." slang" is treason to
day, will bp patriotism to.morrow, when the
peonie shall have become fully aroused to
the true state Of affairs. Every dig is do
ing its work, and the secret operations of
the midnight sohmnens—the "Loyal Lea
guers' —aid their ootdeond-bull stories
about ;'Knights," ho., onot stay, nor

all and more than all that the most malig

ring the past weak two important manifestoes
have appeared. One recommending the gall
of a new Contention to meet at Buffalo in
September, which will request both Lineoln
and Fremont to withdraw, and then proceed
to nominate a new man. This enigestiqp
ominously tombs tront Ohio, andeuspididtil
ly points to Chaim, the defunct Bag Baron,
as its author. besides It is endorsed by the
Even*, Post of this city, a firm friend of
Chase. Evidently when a party is in such a
dilapidated condition, as this revelation
'Blows, it must be on thtS verge of dropping
into very small pieces. Its days are about.
numbered, and it will soon go the way of
other delusions, wbioh have strutted their
brief hour upon the stage to wrong, vex and
killpankind, by their sins and enormities.
The other manifesto, betokening even more
deuiorilization in this precious party, is a
letter signed by Ben. Wade of Ohio,' and
Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, id which
Mr. Lincoln is denounced as a " usurper "
for having reftieed to sign the bill passed by
Congress "for recognizing the rebellious
States." It seems that Abraham preferred
hie "orie-tenth plan," as it' enabled him,
piovided he needed a few mere votes; to
mannfiesturethem to order. Wade and.Da
via prird'ess great horror at this design on the
part irLinooln, but that is all mere pre
tence. ' Wade sanctioned the impression of
free elections injontpay. and Davis is him
self a cartridge-box Congressman. No ; their
holy horror comes from no such a motive.—
It islorn of the conviction that Lincoln is
gone—that no amount of bayonets can re
elect him—and they hope to -keep the ship
from sinking by getting Lineerh to withdraw.
But they are too late in the day, The fiat
has gone forth. Abrahain has filled the cup
of his iniquity nearly to the full. It only
remains now for the people 'to execute Judg
