FROM OBERUN.I 'Osumi*, Ohio, Ein.r. 12, 1864. Dice WATOEMAN write or not write has been the quotation that .for a long time agitated my mind, and even at present I am unable to decide to my entire satisfaction, whethar—hy—writing_now_4_ esiLmalsit letter sufficiently interesting to command an approving glance or expect its admission , into the columns of your rained paper. Be tile reAlt as it may, I have concluded to writes and this letter must be received as an indication of my strong attachment to the WATCHMAN, ' from whose columns in times past I have been afforded so much de light. , It frill be observed that this letter is dated at 'Oberlin, s Owe notorious in the dark annals of thisicountry for' the very prominent position some of ita citizens have taken to overthrow the Republican institu tions of these United States and establish in their stead an aristocratic form of goy- ernment in which the "free American cit izen of African descent" shalt become the most. worshipful exemplars, and edit • Dr. Bigelow worthy Confessor. How admirably anti well their. efforts have succeeded the present "bloody days" ;indicate, and the Obstinate course pursued by their Moloch —Abraham—fully foreshadows " Like causes produce like effects" is a philoso.: phical maxim moat thoroughly illustrated in this rural city of Oberlin, Ohio. The load ing cause and calling of many .of the for,e most oitixens here, especially those con nected, with the collegb and churches, is fp elevate the negro to a sphere that will tran scend in spiritual • grandeur the one set apart by the Great Creator of thd Universe for the assembling 9f the Angels and, Arch angels, and to be so far uplifted 'from the gaze of that decaying species of creation, commonly known as white men, that Profes sor Mitchell's celeVated telescope in the Cincinnati 'Observatory will not have mag nifying power enough to give the meta atm lcum-abservar_ll.l/...inkling...a.a_sior—Tl leading cause and calling I said was to ele vate the negro—and the natural effects are now visible in and arrinnd Oberlin, and so plainly too, that the stranger is not puzzled fora reason. The visitor's attention in first attracted—or I should with more propriety say repelled—with the worn and dilapidated appearance of the buildings, a want of ele gance in structure and the total lack of taste in the laying out of streets, squares, and yards. The.whole town is as devoid of shrubbery,. evergreens, and shade trees as is this mal-administration of principle or honest purpose. Instead or a row 'of neat cottogo houses skirting the town, as ie the ease. In thoet,ajt Western towns, the eye ie ssluted ° 7with a crooked airing of very roughly constructed negro cabins, before I.he door steps of which. may be seen at any hour of the day numbers of the dark and light colored pickaninies, who supplant sill occupy the place set apart in towns where the white system prevails for the growth of shrubbery and evergreens. &lips, through out this dark and benighted city of 8000 in habitants, the "everlasting negro" occuplts the most prominent,positions ; fn -college and church; In business and private houses; in the social and the domestio circles, and my opinion 18 that not many years hence, should this internal doctrine of miscegenation prolil it will be difficult for the visitor then tolleoide who were the originals of the place, whether the anceirtora were white or black. It is no unusual thing to see an elegantly attired lady go arm in arm with a "hugely" dressed negro of the - male ,species, and a white woman with a negro husband is no rarity. Tho general appearance of the younger people is below medium and all classes seem to lack energy and enterprise. The N. I'. Tribune, Cleveland Leader and N. Y. Independent are the sources from which they obtain all their informatioh, and that information being principally upon "negroes" will account in a great measure for their lack of general intelligence in the younger glasses of Oberlin society. But I have written more about Oberlin than lkad tended, but the facts hero related have been so 'forcibly and so indelibly iMpressed upon my mind that I could not forbear mention ing them, so that the supporters of the Lin coln Dynasty may see in the present con dition of Oberlin, what is the natural result of the dostrinee they s olo ignorantly, yet persistently advocate; Ad I hence conclude this portion of my letter by adding one more naportant truth founded in past and present observations ; that is, no society of white people Owl over be benefitted peeuniar oly, intellectually or socially •by tob free a commingling with the Ethiopian race, but mugt invariably deteriorate . in intelligence, morals and manners' with every intimate alma:dation therewith. God forbid in my day that I should - ever See another Oberlin society! During the past two weeke rharve had the pleasure of mottling. with the Democra cy of Mercer, Venttngo and Crawford coun ties of your State, and of Trumbull, Mai tabula, Wayne, Richland, Lorain, Cuyhoga, Union, Sandusky and Seneca 'counties of this State, and I speak candidly when 1 say, I never, in all my experience in former political campaigns, both in the West and ,East, seen such enthusiasm manifested, and such a spirit of determination to triumph as evinowtby the Democracy of the counties above named. Nor is that enthusiasm confined to these Counties alone ; and I .speak advisedly when I assert that it is general thronghout tide t idtete. To young and old, malit and female,- the name Geo.

ONE HUNDRED GUNS FOR MoOLELLAN Mr. Euriont—A few _evenings ago our town was very much enlivened by the-firing of one hundred guns on Marital, Square, in honor of "Little Mac," the hero of many well fought battles. Tito streets'were dense= ly crowded around the scene of action, and all present seemed like hearty participants in the congenial rally of- Demootacy during the entire evening,; and, often did the huz. MIS uplift the canopy above us and startle through the air for our worthy nominee. In addition to the one hundred salutes front the cannon, we had an address by a gentle man of considerable talent, worthy of a place above the mediocracy of political lit erature, In style it was brief, energetic, patriotic and democratic. When the speak er closed his remarks the meeting adjourn ed, and while the crowd was dispersing, the cannon resumed its former posKon, pealing forth Its " thainderifforous" concussions through infinite apace, and, thereby holding in cheek the greater part of the concourse. A certain individdal seeking popularity and a high position,. being persuaded that now is a good time to make his mark, maaala a store box, throws out a challenge for some ono to meet him in public debate. At thid moment the crowd rushed to the speaker, surrounding him on all sides and awaited anxiously to hear his political position. In a moment he began justifying Lincoln and his cabinet and the next moment:he was a popular man in apigh position indeed, humbled with the dregs of the street in the gutter!. and by the intercessions of some good men he was enabled to escape with little injttry to his body.. This self eameman is by occupation a minister, also a quack in metaphysics. To bring him more distinctly before the mind of the reader it is necessary to 'apprize that a few yeses ago he travelled through the country preach. ing the millonium or end of the world to take place at a period set by his bon-om niscient greatness. Especially do I remem ber of hearing him preach on this subject about five miles from Bellefonte. at the Ad vent eampmeeting in the Bald Eagle ridges. Everybody and their friends were there to hearken unto his sermons of infatuation, and when done, were ready to scoff and saber at the insipinoy of his argument. Of course it is not an uncommon thing for divines to preach abolitionism from the pulpit, c nor is it uncommon to find a t DlM bor of the inmates of our asylums men of this vocation, but I assure you It is not frequent that we hear of them makiqg slump speeches unsolicited, unless they are about ready to Suter an asylum. However, I be lieve you have, some of these insane crea tures not many miles from Bellefonte; and further, men professing christianity and being called of God to lead His lambs to the fold of eternal bliss,-neglecting this all important duty and sowinettierthat will bring forth discord, animosity, hatred, scorn and contempt by preaching polities is no better than the cruel adversary Satan. But to the subject, the nomination of Mc- Clellan met with • warm reception here and the then, women and children all seemed to realise that a new t i re, /led dawned upon theireilstende ; b ghter and betterpos pent for the future was 'indellibly, dridlen upon every mind ; a more brilliant star than was anticipated shone forth upon the eoun tenance of the people, with Its beautiful and elegant rays„—as a ligh t-house to the benighted to guide them aright thrpugh the peregrinations of the political world ; that ere &nether year had Bed into oblivion this fratricidal war for the never would have ended,. arbitrary arrests missed, burthenlng taxation lightened; thas the father would not berobbed of his son, the wife of her husbaed, nor the child of its home; that the-entire people of alt the dtatas/niglit soon realise a happy ohmage and papilla eostaticly as "it were, as in those antique 13 BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1864. days when the "morning stars sang togeth er and all the sons of God chanted for joy."

WILLIAMSPORT, Sept. 12, 1864. THE REPUBLICAN " 4 0ONFIDENCE " When 4, man is mistaken In his prophesies twenty times, men begin to doubt watether he is really inspired.. Alter Millet had fixed the day of millenium, and his follow ers 'sat in ascension robes for twenty,-four hours, they took them off; put on their or dinary clothes, and went to work in the usual *ay. If the lunatic who had per - uaded them into a belief of his calculations had announced a slight error in his figures, and asked them to credit hifa again, they would have hooted him. The Republican party is ;pore credulous than the Millerites. Their leaders have been mistaken a score of times, but they are willing to tryst a score more. For some pears the favorite sneer of the ideologists was "Union-saver." Theypr ‘ b r: .onvirttraymart 12, tt of .eu l tt netts as they now do "copperhead." True, one of their own especial pats, Jblin Quincy Adams, when he forgot party, and calmly surveyed the wkde country, bad said, "After all,-the real Union is in the heart," and bad pointed out that when the collision of passions and interests bad destroyed fraternal feelings, the precedent furnished by the present Constitution would have to re-settle the boundaries of power, and their future ritations. BUOILVM The Union and the Constitution were good enough for the Democracy, dnd were good enough for the South ; neither wanted them changed in the crossing of a or in the dotting of a n i. But the Republican party was not satis fied with the Union and the Constitution. It wanted the Constitution as it understood it, not as Courts expounded it. Webster said that if the Constitution depended upon petional interpreation; nullifination was as legitimate a conclusion .as any other. Her was right. Seward, logically, in as perfect a secessionist as Davis. This se 'ceded froin the and that - from the Constitution. When the- 'Republican party in its canimss, and Mr. Lincoln in his inau gural, overrode the Supreme Court as the constitutional tribunal for the settlement of dispdted rights between the States, war was apparent to all but the blind. The montent, the war was inaugurated, the Rrpuhlicans said, let us drop party, save the Union, and. then let us discurs principles. The Democrats as a wines assented.— There were some sagacious men, who saw that the Republican party would not keep faith, indeed could nut keep faith, for a par ty faithless to the Constitution Mtuit fail to conceive of the sacredness of any obliga tion, For more than a year there was althost un broken unanimity at the North. The truth then began to dawn upon the minds of teen that the war was prosecuted not for the Rehm, but for an Voice ; not for ,the Con stitution, but against the Constitution ;.not for peacO, bUt foranti-slavery. Thenceforth men began to return to their own lines, and if Mr. Lincoln at this day meets a party op posilig his election, and armies confronting his own, it ie simply because his party has perverted the war, from a war to maihtain the supremacy of the Constitution' into a war to maintain the supremacy of the Con stitution, into-a war to maintain the supre macy of 1.,1te Republican party.—Ez. --- --- UNCONDITIONAL UNION MEN. Who are they ? What are their princi ples ? What do they want ? What will satisfy them ? What kind of a Union do they want? These are questions that will be answered by the people, and the public mind' will be made up from the actions of those who claim to be unconditional Union men. The friends and supporters of the Administra tion profess to be unconditional Union 1111111 . . But are they ? When it was proposed to the president to enter into negotiations on the subject of peace, ho refused to receive any proproeition unless it contained the condidion that slavery should be abolished. Hence he •wants slavery abolished more than he wants the Union restored, and is not an unconditional Unien man. His fol lowers agree with hint on this condition, and hence they aro not what they se bois terously claim to be—unconditional Union meri. When President Lincoln issued his plan of Union, knowil as the "ten per cent. plan," he propesed as a toadition precedent of coming back into tho Union, that citizens of the revoluted fltates* shall take an oath to support all proclamations past present or to come, touching the question of slavery, and all his votaries pried "Amen ;" So neither he nor they can be unconditionally for the Union. Congress got up a law by which it was proposed revolted States might be received into the Union, if they wonia comply with the many specified conditions enumerated brake bill. This the ,President refused to sign, because the conditions did not har monize with hlso own. But in both plans there were conditions, and many that were most egregiously foolish and silly, and yet the men who propose these laws prate about being uneonditiorial Union men.- Suppose , Jeff.' Davie should send a com munication to Lincoln stating, that the rebels were ready' to come bank into the Union. What would be the answer of Lin coln t • You can come back only on condi tion that you- liberate your slaves. Or should citizens of the South abk to be re ceived under thilgonstitation, what response would they get Yon may eome uhder it on condition you will swear to support all the proolamations that have been, or may be made., concerning slavery, ' These are not the unoonditional Union men of * 145 conntrY, and their claim to be such Is a falsehood. Only on impossible and hapolitie Conditions are they Union Men at all. Tally, are ;'gr their party" in all conditions ; for theirgauntry, when, it beat helps their party .

The moat gratifying evidences of the pop- Oat favor accorded to General McClellan is the enthusiasm everywhere manifested ief approval of his nomination for President of the United Staten, by the Sol:mutt Mr TUE REPUBLIC. It is evident •. Little Mao" is their favorite, and that. ldve and earnestness in hinause ore daily shown by demonstra tions, of unmistakable import. .Movements of troops daily occur in this .city, through fares beici on their lino of march on Penn sylvania avenue to the railroad depot, eith er on their departure from or upon their ar rival in this city. The ol¢ flag, floating in majestic grandeur froM the Hall of the National Democratic Association, bears upon its beautiful au& bright folds the honored and popular names of MeMellan and Pendleton, As regiment after regiment, or oompaarxerikeitacqxpany of "our country's bravo 'defendffr' pass the building from which it le suspend e; the scar-marked veteran or the new rruit, officers and men, vie with each otherin the enthusiastic, demonstrations in honor of their old commander and revered chieftain and the shouts that go up for "Little lilac " are amongst the gratifying evidences of the earnestness with which the rank and file of the army intentrto give their support in el evating General McClellan to the Presiden cy. Yesterday was an especial occasion, as a Pennsylvaitia regiment, from Adams county, the 205th, we believe, was passing down Pennsylvania avenue, the most vociferous shouts rent the air for " Little Mac," °Moors and men emulating each other in the earn estness of their demonstration. So it has been ever since the nomination, as either squad, company, battalioq regiment or bri gade passed in the vicinity or under the banner the same enthusiasm manifests itself for McClellan and Pendleten. Indeed we". have reliable information that everywhere in the army the nomination of McClellan excites the wildest furore, and it is fair to presunte the vote of the soldiers will be cast almost unanimously for tho Hero of Antie tam.— Washington Constitutional Union. The Convention at Chicago has made a noble completion of its work by the selec tion of the lieu. CI eorge 11. Pendleton, of this city, as Vice President. ft was precise ly the name theexigency of the occasion de inapded. The general exclamation among the Democrats, after they heard of the result for President, was that Mr. Pendleton would be nominated for Vice President. Mr. Pendleton's name would have been arcing ono at the head of the ticket, and it was earnestly pressed by a large number of friends for that position. Hero, where Mr. Pendleton is known and 80 widely esteemed, it would be a work of suprerrogation to enter into an eulogy upon hi character. A Democrat statmoh and true, a high-toned gentleman, liberal and tol erant in his opinions, a fine scholar, an able debator, entertaining the views and aspire : tione of a statesman—with much political experience that eminently qualifies hiln to proeide in the Senate, the office in this in stance has sought and found the man it re quired. Mr. Pendleton, like General 111' Clel lan, is a young man, under forty years of age ; but he has already served two years in the Ohio State Senate, and eight years in the Congress ofthe United, States. li e has been four times re-elected to the lions. of Repre sentatives from this eity, and would have been chosen thefifth time if he had not been placed upon the Presidential ticket. Ile was a promihent candidate for Speaker of the Rouse, at Washington, and is now upon the Committee of Ways and Means, the most im portimt in that body.—Oinsianatti • Aquifer. Mr. Lincoln in an interview with Senator Mallory, at the commencement of the war, said it he should disooverthat there was in k Union sentiment in the South, *hen .‘ Ws war is sot only ap error, it is a trims." He has evidently discovered that if every sentiment existed, it is effeotnally *secs ted now—what, tharMere, meths his hum ble °platen of biamel for carrying one was. not w ay an ever, bW • 121164110., What gayest thou, Abraham THE ARMY FOR LITTLE MAO, ARE THE PEOPLE' AFRAID TO TRUST I=l ~The Democratic platform adopted at Chi cago declares in favor of the settlement of our national troubles through thelnatru mentality of a Convention of the States.— In other words, it proposes that •the People shall militia our troubles.

Who can object to that?

Will the thirty millions concede it ? Thatis the question to be decided ,at the coming elec tion; and surely every man who believes himself worth more than one thirty.mil iionth-part of Abraham.

Smith is Lincoln exactly ; and' his letter is quite as sensible as Lineobes. LINCOLN'S SUPPORTSBIL—WIN. Lloyd Gar rison, in 1815, said r "The Union is n lie. The American Un ion is an imposture and a covenant with death, and an sgrcement with hell. 1 am for its overthrow." • This same Garrison is an ardent suppor ter of Lincoln's re-nomination and re-elec tion. "Show roe - the company you keep and I'll tell you what you are," is a Spanish provSrb peculiarly t,o this case. Another of obi Abe's supporters is Fred. Douglas, who, in a speech over the hang ing of old John Brown, solo: "From this time forth I °cnsecrate the Tabora of my life to the dissolution of the Union, and I don't care Whether the, bolt that rends it comes from heaven or hell." And yet these creatures have the audacity to call themselves "Union men," and to denounce the democracy, who battled against ihefr insane schemes, as "trailiers," "se cessionists," "disunionists," .in sup porting Lincoln they clearly indicate what kind of a man they consider Lim to be. LINCOLN INTUND TO DECLINII.—Tho Sem York Democrat, a German Lincoln paper, says, in amunientivig upon the Wade• Davis protest : ' It is no longer a secret that the populari ty of Lincoln has rapidly,fiecreased within the past few months, which furnish ono stu pidity of his after another; and the sooner ho learns this fact the better, for ho has lit tle time to repent.' All his former friends find it every day more difficult to retain their support of him, and many only hold to him yet from necessitf he the lesser evil of two ; none however, support him with enthusiasm and seal. A large number will be utterly indifferent in the coining election And if the Chicago convention ehould hit upon a proper man, we may expect a strong falling of froni Lincoln unless he exerts all his energies to regain the lost affection of the masses. The importanoe of the matter re quires mature deliberation. The most sim ple, honorable and patriotic course would be if Mr. Lincoln were voluntarily to with draw from thal field; 'and make room for another nomination.
