The Democratic Standing Committee of Cumberland County will meat at Herman’s Hotel, in Carlisle; on Saturday, August 3, at 10 o’clock, P. M. A General attendance of the Committee is earnestly , The Crops. —Our exchanges throughout the state give the most .flattering-accounts of the crops. ' All through Pennsylvania the wheat crop is morethan an' average- one,, and has been harvested in good condition. The bay, although not heavy, is of art unusually good quality. The corn and potatoes are some-, what backward, but they look well, and the recent general showers will insure a good product. With the exception of fruits, there wiil be in Pennsylvania more than an average crop this year. - Thr Tariff. —The Tariff Bill, as it passed the House, -fixes the duty- on coffee at five cents per pound ; tea fifteen cents per pound raw sugar two and a half cents -per-pound 1 ; currants five; cassia ten cents; cassia vora two cents; cassia buds fifteen cents ; cinna mon twenty cents ; pimento six cents ;• cloves eight'; cloves stems two; nutmegs twenty five; mace twenty .five; pepper six cents per pound; raisins five cents; ginger three cents; galtin bulk twelve cents period lbs. It does not change the duty on iron. The bill is now before the Senate-, and was not acted on Fri day as expected. There appears to be a rea sonable probability that it will pass without other material alteration.. The Tribh.ve for Peace. —The New York Tribune is but for peace. It says that “no where on earth would a speedy and honorable peace—a real peace—bo hailed with more heartfelt gladness than by us. And it adds that "if the traitors pro-ve too strong tobe sub jugated, we are for peace on their terms, ' rather than a useless continuance of the war.” This is treason, according to the Republican doctrine, and had it been uttered by a Demo cratic editor, he- would here been denounced ■s a traitor by every Republican journal in the country. Htve Bill fob Treason.— The Grand jury of Baltimore county, on Wednesday Inst, found a true bill of indictment against Richard Thomas, for piracy and treason. This Thomas is an officer in the Confederate Navy. _ Ho is the same man, who, disguised as- a French, lady .participated in the capture of the steam er St. Nicholas, and when the United-States officers apprehended him, was found snugly stoWed away in a" bureau drawer. Three of his confederates, Tatum, Alexander and Hol lins,have also been presented by the Grand Jury for treason. Thb traitor' Congress met at Richmond on Saturday last. The message of Jeff. Ha vis, of which an abstract has been furnished us by telegraph via New Orleans, iscomposed chiefly of violent abuse of the late message of the President of the United States, and reads more like a bitter partisan speech, or an edi torial in a rampant Secessionjpurnal, than an official document. jg>The Philadelphia Bulletin has a chapter On John Brown and the war, in which senti ments approaching adoration for the memory of that old traitor, who attempted to. seize the Hafper’s Perry armory, are expressed. Ev eryone to his taste —but wo cannot exactly see the distinction betwene the treason of the mam who attempted to take Government prop erty as the prelude to a-slave insurrection, and, that of the Secessionists who seized'it for their purposes. The Bulletin is quite happy in the belief that the cause in which John Brown sacrificed his life appears so.near its tri umph, and’that the “blood of the martyrs is once more the seed of the “(Abolition'' Church-" Everett’s 4th of July orationat the Academy of Music cleared $7OO for the Vbl-- nnteer Aid Fund. The entire receipts were $1,300.. John who was arrest ed by General Cadwalader jmd confined in Fort McHenry under the charge of treason, was handed.over to the civil'authorities on Saturday week, when ho was released by the United. States .Court on bail in the sum of 140,000 to answer the charge in November next. ■ To THOSB WUO ABB AvRAID OF THE CojTET, we would'say that it is thirty millions of miles from us, and'will \>o no nearer..

F4MTKIBS AND COBBUFTM. j If there ever was an occasion in thi jhistory of nations, a moment' of precious t me, de manding the exercise of the highest < laments 'of character, it is beyond doubt the present. The most important function of government, thie law making power, is now'deliberating upon a state of affairs exceeding in Value and importance tbs Congress of 1770. Wo ore painfully forced to admit it falls immeasura bly .below the standard of that body in wis dom and self-sacrificing patriotism. Party spirit has demoralized our whole people, and corruption stalks broadcast throughout the land. But few genuine patriots are permit ted to represent the people and find their way into the councils of the nation, and these few are likely to be overwhelmed in the tempest of the hour. . ' The Detroit Free Press, referring to the ac tion of the fanatic Lovejoy the otherday in Con gress, mokes the following eloquent appeal: “ While the heart of the nation throbs with intense anxiety at the peril which threatens our national life, and patriots are rushing in breathless haste to the field of battle,-while the “ plain people” tiro fired with the love of country, and. are eager to make any sacrifice of time, of property, of life itself, if necessa ry, to maintain our free- institutions, the de mon of party lies in wait to bring discord and divison into the- councils of the nation, and corruption, with its hundred hands, is ready to plunder the treasury, and riot upon the means gathered together for the holy purpose of self defence. Like the vampyre, it feasts upon the heart’s blood of the nation, and ghoul like gloats upon the desoltnioh and ruin which marks its footsteps. How long shall these things bo without a change? How long wi|l the people, whose lives and fortunes are in i peril, submit patiently either to the one or the - other without casting out their unfaithful ser • rants? . ■ ‘‘Congress had hardly assembled in the- Halls of the'Capitol when Mr. .Lovejoy, of Illinois, who has won for himself the unenvi able notority of being the most ultra partisan in that body,.introduced aresolutiontoinquire into the expediency of repealing tho-fugitive slave-law. AH arouhd him' sat the ropresen datives of the border States, tho venerable Crittenden and his associates from Kentucky ; Thomas, and others, from Maryland; Phelps ana his compeers from Missouri, and Carlisle from Virginia, the bravest and noblest men of them all. While in'the Senate Chamber there was Johnson,- of -Tennessee, fired with patriotism'and love of country, equaling that of the Father of.«his' country, and with a bravely fat exceeding that of Leonidas at' at the Pass of Thermoplylm, had fought the battle of his country's liberty in his mountain home. These who had'all remained true to the constitution, true to the laws, and had again and again exhorted their people with ( firey eloquence to remain true to the compro mises of the constitution, were insulted and ( confounded by this crazy fanatic. A'trtid tile' ( clash of arms, the shrieks of women and chil- - dren, the" groans of the dying, this man like a fiend, must come to blight the counsel of the- I bravo: How long will the people of tho bol der States remain true to the constitution if the leading men of the administration set it at defiance ? How-long can Johnson of Tenn-< essee, and Carlisle of Virginia, hold their con constituents faithfulaqd aotfn con cart with the,government to put down this rebellion if the men who giro distinctive character to the 1 administration are forever Icindlingthe- fires of fanaticism between the North and South? The constitution requires the returnof fugi tive slaves, and he who swears to support- it,- and fails in this point, has broken his oath; and stands before the country and the world a perjurer, .If hedoes notdie a traitor's death, ho will fill's traitors’s grave. Never was there more unparallod impudence • than this displayed by Lovejoy, who in one:breath proposed! to repeal a law approved by Wash ington; demanded bythe constitution, and.in the same-breath denounced another, who pro posed to violate his oath by resigning his com mission in tho‘army because his State had se-i ceded,!’ What is the use to talk of. peac and com-' promise now? Peace and compromise were offered; nay* more than offered —urged upon .those now in rebellious arms against the gov-? ment,- until we were taunted well nigh aa cravens. —Republican paper. - By whom were peace and compromise offer ed? Not by .ultra Republicans, surely. No! they opposed both with all their might,-they' had the power in Congress, and they defiantly spurned all propositions for compromise. 'When asked to submit the same to the people, I they were equally unyielding, afraid, like' the secessionists. to trust the people,* their'mas ters. And now wo have the consequences— civil war, more seceded States, and .general, ruin to the commercial and industrial interests of the North. It is true that Democrats and conservative men of . all other parties desired compromise, plead for it lotig and earnestly, but they were oowerloss and all their efforts vain;, the mad heads had been entrusted with powerand they would do nothing to conciliate. The result which might have thus been avoid ed, is now only beginning to be-aoen and felt.— i Portland Argus . , Union Savers. Nathaniel P. Banks proclaimed from- the rostrum, in a public speech, only a few years ago, his-Teadiness to “lot the-Union slide.”— He is now “saving the Union,” a Major Gen eral under Mr.. Lincoln, in Baltimore, by hold' ing the people of that city-in it at the point ol the bayonet 1 ' Anson Burlingame' said;, about the samo time, that unless we oould have “an antialavo ry Constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavoay G >J.” the Union wasn’s worth preserving.

So says Gapt.-SANDERSON, of tho Lancaster Intelligen cer. New Hampshire and Illinois were late ly visited by terrible tornadoes. Canada by an earthquake. Tulin Inpreiifooi rad T&oi# Who bate Contet* bated lo.Prodnee Thea. v' A» the grand Federal army advances into Virginia, says the DemocrattcUnion, Union men are rejoicing atthoirdeHveranoe ffom. tho tyranny, that hjis oppressed them, and men who wore rebels under tho false impres sion that the-object of the Government was subjugation and pillage are reviving,their loyalty as their minds become disabused of the falsehoods implanted by the secession con spirators. . From all quarters we hear the same report. Tho Virginiunsfind that itis not es they were led to expect. They supposed that their fields would bo ravished, their bouses burned, their slaves freed, their property destroyed,, their persons subjected to. violence, and their terri tory abandoned to a mercenary soldiery. In stead of those evils, they find that the" Feder al army is the precursor of peace and securi ty ; that it comes os’a deliverer, and not as a destroyer, and that it is in reality the restorer of law and order. A people-who have just suffered from theoccupation of tho rebel army are in a condition to observe and mark the contrast between the conduct of their protend ed friends, who are'their real foes, and thei supposed foes, who prove to be their real ] friends. And thjs contrast must create agreat Union re-action in tho awko of the advancing army. It seems to-hnve' been the special aim of the Abolition faction in the North to encourage false impressions os to,the nature of this con test. Congress should at the commencement of this session have declared the object of the Government in distinct and unequivocal terms. Instead of this wo find resolutions passed de claring that the army shall not return fugitive slaves ; bills introduced to suppress the slave holders' rebellion, when itis well known that tho slaveholders, as a body, were not tho au thors of this rebellion-; bills to declare the freedom of the, slaves by proclamation ; sug gestions of the propriety of conquering the Southern States, and holding them ns Territo ries, and the indiscriminate banging of rebels taken in artns. , Wo observe, however, that there yet re mains a sane party -in the Senate to rebuke these unconstitutional, sanguinary and dia bolical counsels. The notorious Jim Lane, of Kansas, who would not now hold a seat in the Senate if the gallows had its dud, offered, on Thursday last, to amend a resolution of Mr. Powell, declaring that no part of the army or navy should be, used to subjugate or hold as, conquered provinces any rebellious State, nor in any way interfere with African slave ry, by providing^- 11 Unless it shall become necessary in enforcing the laws and maintain ing the'Constitution” —as if tbe Constitution ever -could be maintained by subjugating States ahddestroyingproperty. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, rebuked this mischief-maker and' plaeed' the contest in.its true light when ho declared that " it was no part or object of the Government to subjugate States or abolish slavery. The purpose was to maintain the National honor and uphold the flag every where; He simply wished to maintain the Constitution’.” That was the right position. Lane’s amendment received eleven votes—all,;' of course, Abolitionists and enemies of the'; Union, plotting its destruction. ... "ihero- agitutors Have been emboldened; introduced tHeirtr'fiaspnable and dosfruejive projects in ,Congress—but if wo ,mistake .not there is l a' conservative sentiment that will hold them in check during tho war,' and settle them forever after it terminates in the com plete restoration of Government and order. Hois Peculation 1 Dinted’. The New York Times, a leading Republi can organ, seems to think there may be” schemes of speculation or swindling going on at Washington as<well as at other plabes. We copy from-Saturday’s issue- ‘The; steamboat Catiline was burned the other day near Fortress Monroe, thereby giv ing occasion for a Congressional inquiry, Which we earnestly hope will not be lost; tpr such inquiry, we are assured, will bring'out. the following facts; The boat in question wns old and unseaworthy, and its outside,value, .fixed ,by competent judges, was $7,500;- It was hired' by Governmentas iv trrtnsporf , at the rate ef $lO,OOO a month ; witha clause in the con tract that in the case of casualty, such as has just overtaken it, the owners were to he in- demnified by Government, jn-the sura of $50,- 000. * * * Into the - history of this busi ness, and into the parties to-the distribution of the profit, an investigation should-be made unsparingly.’ The Times evidently believes the burning of the vessel was not altogether accidental 1 Military Printers having their Joke, — A delegation of printers from-the Twentieth Ohio regiment, now stationed at Fairmount, Va'„ Kavo taken possession of the’ Trite Vir ginian printing office, in'that town.

New Orleans, July 20— Davis’ inaugural message called attention to the causes which formed the 1 Confederacy, and, he says, it is now only necessary to call attention to such facts as-have occurred during the.recess, and to matters connected with the public defence, lie Congratulates the Congress on the acces sion to the Confederacy of three_equal sover eign States.-' The several States deemed it.ad visable to.remove tho departments and ar chives to Richmond, to which place Congress had already removed tho seatof-Governmont. After the adjournment of the last Congress, the aggressive movements of the enemy in duced prompt and energetic action. The ac cumulation of the enemy’s force on-the Ppto mac sufficiently demonstrated that his efforts were to be directed against Virginia, and from no point could her defence and protection bo so efficiently directed as from her own capital.

United States. The senes of ma noeuvres-by which this impression was creat ed, and which where devised in perfidy, are already known. Fortunately for the truth of history, Mr. Lincoln’s message minutely de tails the attempt to reinforce Fort .Pickens in violation of an'srmisticO which he confessed he had been informed of only by rumors too vague au(P uncertain to create any attention. The hostHe expedition- despatched to supply Fort Sumpter was admitted to have been un dertaken with a knowledge that ife success was impossible, the sending.of a notice to the Governor of South Carolina of an intention to use force to accomplish, the nbject, and quoting from his inaugural that there would homo conflict unless these States were the ag erflb°prooeedB to declare that his conduct, ns in the mast will be in the future This prom ise, which* could not be misunderstood, gave notice of the approach of a hosti 0 fleet.

He is com polled to abandon his ’pretence of dispersing rioters and suppressing? insurrection. He is driven to the acknowledgment that the Union is dissolved. II? recognizes the .separate exv istonco of the Confederate States by inter diction, embargo, and blockade.- All com merce between the two sections is cut off; re mediating the foolish idea that the inhabitants of tho Confederate States are still citizens-of the United States. Davis compares the. pres ent invasion with that of Great Britain in 1781,. but whioh ,was conducted in a more civi lized manner. Mankipd will shudder at tho outrages now being oqmmitted on defenceless females by those pretending to be fellow citi zens, who depict the horror with which they regard deliberate malignity, and which, un der the pretext of suppressing insurrection, make special wur opon sick women and child ren by withholding' tbe‘ medicines necessary for thoir cure.

Such outrages admit of no retaliation, Unless the actual perpetrators are conquered! IVfr. Taylor’s mission- to lVnshington Was for the purpose of effecting an exchange of the prisoners taken on the privateer SavahnaTi.

President declaring that, in order to execute the lows, some single, law made in extreme tenderness of citizens liberty, may, to a limited extent, bo violated.- We may well rejoiCe that we bavo forever sev ered connection with a Government that thus tramples on-air principles of constitutional liberty, andlwith a people in whose, presence such'an avowal may bo paraded. - Operations in the ; field will be greatly ex pended- by reason of 0 policy, which hereto fore secretly entertained, is now avowed and acted on by the.-United States. The force hitherto raised proved ample for the defence of tho Seven States which originally organized the Confederacy; excepting on those fortified islands which the enemy’s naval force enabl ed them toretain, ho has been driven entirely out. Now, at tho expiration of five months from the formation of this Government, not a single hostile foot presses their soil. Our forces, however, - must necessarily prove in adequate to tho reported invasion by half a million of men now proposed by the enemy. A corresponding increase of our forces, there fore, becomes necessary. Our crops are now the most abundant ever 1 known in cur history. Many believe tho sup ply adequate to two years’ consumption. Our citizens manifestji laudable pride in uphold ing their independence unaided by any re sources other than their own, and subscription to the loan proposed by the Government can not fall short of $50,000,000, and will proba bly exceed that sum. every man and boy were to get all that they deserve, forests would soon run short of switches. 1 TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
