CUMBERLAND VALLEY, Sept. 2.
MB. EDITOR: —The question at issue in the
present war between the North and South, is
simply this:—Shall the Union and the Consti
tution as formed and framed by our fathers,
and to which each state voluntarily gave its
adherence with the most solemn sanctioßs, now
be dissolved by forceoj arms or be perpetua
ted for the benefit of future generations ? The
principle on which tbe loyal States stand up so
unanimously for in this conflict, is no new
principle. What principle was so strenuluus*
]y asserted on both sides, in 1814, when the
New England States were suspected of au
intention of withdrawing from the Uuion?—
Identically tbe same. On that ocoasion, what
was the voice of Virginia, when that great
Virginia stutesmau who had a leading part in
the formation of the Constitution, was Presi
dent? It was tbe following, as expressod
through the journal winch was theu, and is yet
nn oracle there.
- "No man, no association of men, no State,
or set of States, has "a right to withdraw from
this Union of its own accord. The same pow
er which kept us together can unlink it. The
owe formality which formed the liuks of the
Uuion is necessary to dissolve it. Tbe ma
jority ot the States which formed the Union
must consent to the withdrawal of any branch
of it Uutii that couseut has been obtained,
any attempt to dissolve the Union, or distract
tbe efficiency of its Constitutional law, is TREA
SON, treason io all its intents and purposes."
It is for this principle that the free and ens
lightened host of the people of these loyal
States stand finu aud unanimous to-day. Is
our position right? Let* the mass of the peoa
pie of the free States answer this question.
Will the "Confederate States" concede the
right of secession to auy of the States com
prising their Union? If so, how do they ex
pect to maintain their government, and exe
cute the laws? And if the right is coooeded
to States, why not to Counties, Cities, Towns?
The simple truth i, the priaciple of secession
is a false one, aud leads diiectly to anarchy
and ruin. Tbe message of Jiff. Davis failed
to convince me. It is based on false princi
ples, and hence his conclusions are erroneous.
Read the following from Gen. Jackson, him
self a Southern man, whose opiui >us cannot
be ignored io the seceded States. Iu his fa
nious Proclamation, issued when South Caro
lina made its first attempt to secede he said:—
"The Constitution of the United States,
thcD, forms age ernmtnt, not a league: and
whether it be formed by compact between the
States, or in any other manner, its character
is the same. It is a government in which all
the people are represented; which operates di
rectly on the people individually, not upon the
States—atd they retained all the power they
did not grant. But each State having express
ly parted with as many powers as to constitute,
jointly with tbe other States, a single nation,
cannot, from that period, possess any right to
secede; because uoh secession does not break
a league, but destroye the unity of a nation;
and any injury to that unity is not only a
breach, which would result from the contra
vention of a compact, but it is an offence
against the whole UoioD. To say that any
State may, at pleasure, secede from the Union,
is to say tbat the United States are not anas
tion: because it would be a solecism to contend
that any part of a nation might dissolve its
connection with the other parts, to their injury
or ruin, without any offence."
1 verily believe that the war will not be
without its good effects in the end. Often
pained by the evident bitterness of men in
times of peace, we might say without much ex
aggeratiou that we are thankful for a war
which shows us how noble after ali are our
countrymen. We needed the bleak Artie to
show up the soul of our glorious Kane. We
needed Sumter with its few half-starved men
and scanty provision to exhibit to us the great
ness of our Andeisou. And 1 cau say, tnere
fore, tbat there is some sunshine in this dark
picture before us—dark even now, though
peace should soon return. We can say that
the spirit of '76 was equaled by '6l that wil
lingness to suffer aßd die do not extinguish in
the souls of Americans. That's a great les
son to learn. All bail 1861 that teaches it!
As 1 look forward into tbe future, I have no
doubt that this war will have another lesson,
and tbat is that the government of a free peo
ple can be sustained. Let tbe aristocrats of
the Old World ohuekla over the downfall of
our Republic now, tbey will soon learn some
thing to make them more liberal in their views.
We shall see our country placed upon a foun
dation which the storms of many centuries
shall not beat away. It may be God's design
that great changes shall come here, but none
I. believe will be wrought when once peace
returns, that shall come in blood or for the
worse. The nprisiug, tbe commotion now
dears the air for generations to come. "Dark
art tbou, oh ! war, but io ail thy blackness, I
see tbe gleam of light. Thou oomest like the
storm, and ragest with the tempest's violence.
But tbe fields tbou felleet, shall bloom again,
and tbe men tbou strikest shall wear heroes'
crowns. Break thou shall when thy work is
done, aod beneath tbe bow of peace shall the
free victorious nation stand."'
But 1 fear 1 have already passed beyond tbe
prescribed limits and shall therefore close.

THE NATIONAL LOAN.
Appeal to (he People of (he U. Slales,
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—The following patriotic
appeal for the national loan has just been issued by
Secretary Chase to the citizens of the United
Stales :
Your national government, compelled by a guil
ty conspiracy culminating in a causeless insurrec
tion, is engaged in a war for security and libeity,
for the supremacy of the law, for tbe defence of
the Uuion and for the maintenance of popular in
stitutions.
For the means to defray the necessary expenses
of the war your Congress has directed that an ap
peal be made to you, by opening a subscription to
a national loan of oue hundred and fifty millions
of dollars.
Already the enlightened and patriotic capitalists
of the great cities of New York, Philadelphia, and
Boston, have manifested their clear seuse both of
duty and interest, by a subscription of $50,000,-
000. Congress, under which this subseiption was
received, wisely provides, however, that the ad
vantages, as well as the patriotic satisfaction ot a
participation in this loan, shall i>e offered not to
the capitalists of the great cities only, but to tbe
people of the whole country. In order to secure
a substantial reward far their public spirit to those
whose patriotism prompts them in this hour of
trial to place means at tbe disposal of govern
ment, Congress has directed that an interest of
7 3-10 per centum he paid on the several amounts
subscribed, an interest not liable to State taxation,
but constituting for subscribers a revenue not only
certain in receipt: but greater in amount thau ran
be expected from auy ordinary investment.
And in order to afibrd all citizens equal oppor
tunities ot participation in these advantages, Con
gress bas further directed that subscriptions be re
ceived for sums as stuali as SSO as well as for laige
amounts, and that should the subscriptions exceed
the whole sum desired, the smaller be preferred in
its distribution. Each subscriber, on payment of
his subscription, will be entitled to receive Treasu
ry notes, equal in amount, in such denominations
as he may prefer, whethei of SSO, SIOO, SSOO
SIOOO, or SSOOO. 'I he interest at 7 3-10 per annum
will be on the notes of SSO one sent, on SIOO two
cents, on SSOO ten cents, on §IOOO twenty cents,
and on S6OOO one dollar for each day. " All the
Treasury notes issued will bear date on the 19th ot
August, 1801, and will bear interest from date.—
Each note will have coupous attached, expressing
the several amounts of st-mi-annual interest, which
coupons may he detached from the notes, and pre
sented tor payment separately. Each subscriber
may pay the whole amount subscribed at tho time
oi subscription, or, if he prefers to do so, may pay
one-tenth at that time and one-third every twenti.
eth day thereafter. At tach payment the accrued
interest on the amount from the 19th ol August to
the date of payment must also be paid, and the
amounts of interest thus paid will be reimbuosed in
the payment of the first coupon In order to
secure beyond peradventure the punctual payment
of the interest and the gradual reduction of the
principal, Congress bas provided by iaw for an an
nual revenue amply sufficient not* only for these
purposes, but for the prompt payment of ali de
mands on account of extraordinary expenditures.
It will be seen at a g'ance that not only is the
whole property of the country pledged for tbe in
terest and final reimbursement of the loan, but that
an adequate and specific proportion of the annual
production is set apart by taxation for the redemp
tion of this pledge. Prompt payment beyond a
contingency is thus insured. Nor can this taxation
be thought great when compared with the magni.
tude of the objects of the contest, or with the
amount of property and production. Tbe objects
of union, permanent peace and security at home
and respect abroad are imperilled by this unprovok
ed rebellion. Tbe intelligence ol tbe people com.
prebend at once their magnitude. Tbey rise above
party. They belong to no administration. They
concern the whole country during all time, under
every Administration; and in every relation, foreign
or domestic.
And the means for the attainment of these great
objects can be readily supplied from the property
predictions of the country The real and person
al values in the United States reach the vast ag
gregate of $16,000,C00,000, and in the States now
loyal to the Union this agregate is $11,000,000,000.
The yearly surplus earnings of tho loyal people are
estimated by intelligent persons conversant with
such investigations at more than $400,000,000,
while the welPconsidered judgment of military men
of the highest rank and repute, warrants the con
fident expectation that if the war is prosecuted with
energy, courage and skill, it may be brought to a
termination before the close of the next spring, in
which event the cost beyond the revenue will
hardly exceed the amount of the $250,000,000 loan
authorized by Congress; and with a due economy
in all branches of the public service, not more thau
the total expenditure of Great Britian or France
in years ol peace.
And it is not unreasonable to hope that the
auspicious result of |>eace may be hastened by the
reflection of the citizens of the States in insurrec
tion—that they will review their action, weigh
their own welfare, consider tho disposition of the
people of the whole country to recognize all their
constitutional rights and to allow them their full
share in the benefits of the common government,
and renew their allegiance to tbe Union, which in
an evil hour they have been tempted to throw off.
Will they- not reflect that the war into which the
government baa been constrained is not a war for
their subjugation, but a war for national existence,
and that an auspicious result to the Union will
benefit as largely the States in insurrection as the
States which have remained loyal. However this
may be, the duty of the national government as
the constitutionally constituted agent of the people
admits of no question. The war made necessary
by the insurrection, and reluctantly accepted by
the government, must be prosecuted with all possi
ble vigor until the restoration of the just authority
of the Union shall insure permanent peace. The
same good Providence which conducted our tathcrs
through the difficulties and dangers which beset the
formation oi the Union has graciously strengthen
ed our hands for tbe work of its preservation.
The crops of the year are ample, granaries and
barns are everywhere full. Tbe capitalists of the
country come cheerfully forward to sustain the
credit of the government. Already, and even in
advance of this appeal, men of all occupations
seek to share the honors and advantages ol the
loan. Never, except because of the temporary
depression caused by the rebellion and the derange
ment of business occasioned by it, where the peo
ple of tbe United States in a better condition to
sustain a great contest than now.
Under these favoring circumstances, and for
these grand oljects, I shall, in pursuance of the
act of Congress, cause books of subscription to be
opened as speedily as practicable in tbe several
cities and principal towns of the United States, in
order that all citizens who desire to subscribe to
the loan may have tbe opportunity of doing so.—
Meanwhile, those who prefer that course can remit
any sum which they may wish to invest in the loan
to tbe Treasury of the United States at Washing
ton, or to either of the Assistant Treasurers at
Boston, New York, Philadelphia or St. Louis, or
to the Depository at Cincinnati, where certificates
will entitle tbe holders to Treasury notes on the
terms already stated. The patriotism of the peo
ple, it is not to be doubted, will promptly respond
to the liberal wisdom of their representatives.
(Signed) S. P. CHASE,
Secretary of !be Treasury.

for 4<) years past, more sot'-., thrifty, and latter
colored ; the same is true ot my whiskers, and the
only cuise why it is not generally true, is that the
substance is washed off ly fr< queiit ablution of
the face, when il care were used by wiping the face
in close connection with the whiskers, the same
result will follow as the lutir. i have been in the
receipt ola great number of letters from all parts
of New England, asking mo it my hair still con
tinues to be good ; as there is so much fraud in the
manufacture ani sale ot various compounds as
well as this, it has, no doubt been basely imitated
and been used, not only without any good elfect,
but to absolute injury. 1 have not used any of
your Restorative of any account tor some months,
and yet my hair is as good as ever, and hundreds
have examined it witli surprise, as I am now til
years old and uot a gray hair in my bead or on my
tace ;„and to prove this fact, I send you a lock of
Imy hair taken off the part week, i received your
I favor of two quait bottles last summer, for which
I am very gratetul ; I gave it to my friends nd
thereby induced them to try it, many were skepti
cal until after trial, and then purchased and used it
with universal success. 1 will ask us a favor, tb it
you send nie a test by wbicb 1 can discover fraud
in the Restorative, sold by many, I l'aar, without
authority from you. A pure ait.cle will insure
success, and I believe where good effects do not
follow, the failure is caused by tiie iiupuie article,
which curses the inveutor of the good. 1 deem it
my duty as heretofore, to keep you apprised oi the
continued effect on toy hair, sa> 1 assure all who
enquiie of me of my unshaken opinion of its valu
able results. 1 remain, dear sir, yours,

I'ROP.O. J. WOOD: Dear Sii :— 1 would certainly
lie doing you a great injustice not to make known
to the world, llie wonderful, us well as the unex
pected result I have experienced from using ojte
bittle ot yout llair Restorative. After using every
kind of Restoratives extant, but without success,
and finding my head neatly destitute of hair, I was
fi islly induced to try a bottle of your Hair Re
storative. Now, candor and justice compel me to
announce to whoever may read this, that I now
possess a new and beautiful growth ot hail, which
I pronounce ricner and handsomer thai, the origi
nal was. 1 will therefore take occasion to recum
meud this invaluable remedy to ALL who may feel
the necessity of it Respectfully yours,
REV. S. ALLEN BKOUK.
P.S—This testimonial of ray approbation lot
your valuable medicine (as you are aware of) is
| unsolicited:—but if you think it worthy a place
j smong the rest, insert if you wish ; if not destroy
and say nothing. Yours," Ac., Rev. S A. B.
The Restorative is put up in bottles ot three
sices, viz : large medium, and small, the small
I holds £ a pint and retails for one dollar per bottle ;
rthe mediums hold t least twentj per cent more in
j proportion than the small, retails tor two dollars
per bottle; the large holds a quart, 40 per rent,
more in proportion and retails for $3 a bottle. (J.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, in which we have la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Para Sanwparilla, so combined with other
substances of still greater alterative power as
to afford an effective antidote for the diaeaaes
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large class of our
afflicted ijeUo'v- citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by exper
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints:
SCROEULA AND SCROEVLOUS COMPLAINTS,
ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS,
PISTPLM, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RHEUM,
SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND STPHILITT • AR
pxcnoNs, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEU
RALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY, DT
PEP3IA AKD INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE
OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IMPURITY or
THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humci* which fee tor in the
blood at that season of the year. By the tima
ly expulsion of them many rankling diaordeea
are nipped in the bud. Multitudiea can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcaroua
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of tbe body
by an alterative medicine. Clesuise out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
jrou when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery at
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserve* much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because tha drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Moat
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts cf
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinarv run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure, in order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

ALL MERCURIAL DISEASES.
It is a conveniently arranged Band, containing a
medicated compound, to be wornaronnd the Waist
without injury to the most delicate persons, no'
change in habits of living is required, and it en
tirely removes the disease from the system, with
out producing the injurious effects arising form the
use of powerful internal medicines which weaken
and destroy the constitution, and give temporary
relief only. By this treatment, the medicinal pro
prieties contained in the Bind, come in contact
with the blood and reaches the disease, through tbe
pores of the skin, effecting in every instance a
perfect cure, and restores the parts afflicted to a
healthy condition. This band is also a most pow

lieve the system from tbe pernicious effects
of Mercury. Moderate cases are cured in a few
days, and we are constantly receiving testimonials
of its efficacy in aggravated cases of long standing.
