their treasonable! 'and damnable

.wickedness they foQow op. their but
break here by similar ones in other!
States. In Now York the mob break
into the balls .of legislation, compel,
the Legislature to adjonrn, and. a
Itemoefat Governor refuses protection.
He sajs.be has noj power to protect
a co-ordinate branch of the State Gov
ernment in the. legitimate discharge
of their duties. No power to prevent
riot, ipreßerve pe'acd or maintain .the
dignity of the law! Who but a trait
or and perjured villain would dare to
offer such a false and frivolous, excuse?
In ludjana like scenes occurred, but
we' will i not pain | our readers With
further recital. Does it tot seem
clear, this partyJ»avd determined to
trample upon all law,deotroy order that
overthrow the rights of the people,
and establish a reign of anarchy?—
What are ,we to cXpect from their ac
tions ? They rejoice-beyond measure
whenever the government is threat
ened, throw every obstacle in the way
of restoration, take delight in siiow
ing their disregard of law and consti
tuted authority; and encourage mob
violence. " They pretend great respect
for the Constitution,'and; yet trample
upon it with impunity; speak of the’
success of our armies as desirable, and
yet rejoice at every defeat Why is
it 7 ' Because the leaders are traitors,
and they seek the overthrow of our
government. The m&asesof the par
ty are is yet loyisl, and the leaders
—, uvmvuD
in part. It accounts likewise for the
insinuating manner iii.which they ap
proach the friends' ol those who have
fallen it battle, and while they seem
to comfort the mourners, are speaking
words of treason | in their ear' We
ask-onr readers if jthey hava/not nb:.
ticed some, of this party jifter every
battle or nows oft the death.of some
one from theneighborhood, gently
approaching the friends of the deceas-
led asself constituted comforters, and
■ whispering orinsinuating words of
I doubtfully loyalty)? i Their press is at
) it constar.tly,and the emissaries of the
party are instructed, and follow their
example in every hamlet of the coon

It W painful for us to charge, 1 dr
oven believe, that) those with whom
We meet jdaily, those too who have
long enjoyed the! benefits of a~free
government, should seeks its over
throw. We are forced to the conclu
sion,however. Day after day presen A
some: new fact. They are assuming
bolder positions, ;aqd thus as their
wicked schemes : become developed,
one by one; wo arejenabled to, discover'
their {rue intent. Take the teachings
of the party journals,the action ofthe
leaders, the recent outbreaks in Indi
ana, New York, sand Pennsylnania,
and the charge of treason could be
sustained.-against \ the leaders in '.a
Court of Justice. Compare these ac
tions with the words of Vallmidig
ham, An acknowledged leader, Cox,
and last,but not leastHugbes of Penn
sylvania, dud what may we infer?—
First, thatj they db not desire, the res
toration of ; the Union, 'because the
means by which they propose .to ac
complish it, they, know All well, nev
er can sand neyer will bring about a
Restoration. Secondly, they are sebk

and the latter was mortally wounded.!
Them were only between twb and

were In the advanced as I previously
stated, and driving the enemy before
ns until we came to the wood, when,
we charged. The others, under Capt.
Hurst, or Co. I, were proceeding along
the pike andfos soon as tho firing com
menced, dashed through a gaplu the
fence to the aid of the others. - Thoj
rebels fell back , into the cornfields
the bn the edge of the wood, making
bro Mt-works of, the rail fences,; where
they had their regiments of. in&ntry
in ambush. An orderly came np and
ordered ns to tal! back .to acreeka-i

succeeded in recovering Mujo*, Ward.

der Gen. Stanley, were. attacked bv
Wheeler’s brigade, constating of in
fantry, artillery and cavalry. After
fighting until the shades of night be
gan to settle upon us,, we were driven'
back, I.suppose, nearly half a mile,
when their eayalry advanced very os
ten&tiously to do no less than utterly
annihilate us—of course. We raUied
and/waited until they bad nearly
reached the center ofja field upon t&

charged on them, completely routing
them and capturing their colors. They
bore the inscription, il Death before

After a fruitless search of an hour’s
duration for onr late adversaries,wo
were posted along the linqa as pickets,!
and were relieved at 12 o’clock, bak

were [relieved in the course 'of two or

letter from '‘Oooaeional.”
'•* V Washihotos, Jan. 19,1802.
Tbo lost exhibition; of the Bottled
purpose of tboDomocratic leaders to
produce. anarchy ; in the trap States
Was' thoßcaßdaloua conduct of those
whocontroi, less than ooc-half of the
lower .branch, of. theJLegislatnro of-
New York.. The readers of The Press
are familiar/with |tho caaises
vented the election of dl Speaker of
that branch of the: Assembly df| that
State, ifafties being equally divided
after otiaolfeclual ballot
inga, the BepabUcaoa placed in nomi
nation a War Democrat, an|d the fear;
that he migh t bo- elected Speaker in
duced bis former associates to resort
to a series of manomvers r without
parallel in legislative history. Their
violeocp at last Induced an adjourn
ment until,Weduraday next. Ruffians
filled the galleries dariijg last
efforts to elect a Speaker, interrupting
the proceedings of the Assembly,*and
threatening tnopersoOa ofHfiPsjnem
befs Mr. Callicolt, the War 'Demo
crat. if he does not - yield !
to the pressifre of the. mob, will prpba
blvjjbe assassinated in. cold blood.—
Observe, this is the work, and the
work alone, of men;calling themselves
Democrats! The . turbulence and
treOscnable of the same
kind of partisans in tbo Legislature
of Illinois, Indiana, and New Jersey,
within the last | two weeks; are ib
significant harmony with their revo:
luliouaryl proceedings in New York.
What they did at Harrisburg, on the
occasion ;of the' election of United
States Senator, has become a matter
ofv disgracefuTbistoryi They boasted
thi t ii' any Democrat should j
vote for a. Republican, Ids life would
pay for . the forfeit. How different
thi},dignified deportment of the Re
publicans of Philadelphia,, where a
man elected by Republican votes,
Ironv a Republican. district, and. by
’volJm iitary and vehement protestations
and denunciations against the designs
and doctrines of the. Democratic leu-;
dersl turned upon his own • hbnory and :
deprived the parly that put him in
pwition of the control of an impor
tant branch of our city legislature!—
They yielded to the event, preferring
tojlet time'-cure. tbo catastrophe. ,bnd
surrendering party power 'rather/tba it
disturb the public pence. It is not
for ino to | reconcile I the spirit tlfat
punishes parly disaffection with - one
hand, ami. applauds it 'withtheotber.
Where are. \vc tendiiig ? . Are. these
elements to. control, :and crush put
majorities elsewhere ? Are our cities
to become first the hot bods of troa r '
son and afterwards of anarchy ?
Mark well, they who lead-in
tbp'se cxccasesiare as Acuder to >.he
armed traitors to jIHcT
they ate .fierce against ail .who “are
trying tbfput these traitors down.;-
One of: the prophecies early made ih

Haguient of thisjDettiperutih •'Conven
